# package-updater — Claude context

Webhook-driven Docker Compose updater. Go service, single binary, deployed as
a container with `/var/run/docker.sock` mounted.

See `README.md` for user-facing docs. This file is for working ON the code.

## Commands

```bash
go test ./...                          # all tests, fast (no docker required)
go test -run TestFoo ./internal/api    # single test
go build ./cmd/server                  # produces ./server
docker build -t package-updater:dev .  # multi-stage, builds golang:1.26-alpine

# Local smoke test (builds from Dockerfile, runs against /var/run/docker.sock):
cp env.sample .env && $EDITOR .env     # fill UPDATER_API_KEY
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up --build
curl -sH "Authorization: Bearer $UPDATER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"image":"foo"}' http://localhost:8080/update | jq
```

## Architecture (one-line per package)

- `cmd/server`        — wiring only: config → docker client → discovery → queue → http
- `internal/api`      — HTTP handlers, bearer-token auth, request-id + access-log middleware
- `internal/config`   — env-var loading; fails fast if `UPDATER_API_KEY` missing
- `internal/discovery`— given an image, return Compose `Job`s to run (label parsing, path check, dedup)
- `internal/discovery/swarm.go`  — SwarmDiscovery: same FindJobs signature, lists `docker service ls`, gates on service-level opt-in label instead of STACKS_ROOT path-check
- `internal/updater`  — FIFO queue + single worker + `docker compose` subprocess executor
- `internal/updater/swarm_executor.go` — SwarmExecutor: `docker service update --image` via the Docker API instead of a `docker compose` subprocess
- `internal/selfupdate` — flush-then-exec wrapper for updating ourselves (NOT wired in live, see gotcha)
- `internal/metrics`  — Prometheus collectors
- `internal/logging`  — slog JSON, request-id context propagation

## Design intent (do not break without discussion)

- **Single FIFO worker by design** (`internal/updater/queue.go`). Spec §5.7. Never
  parallelise the queue — two `docker compose` calls against the same stack race.
- **Defense in depth: token AND opt-in label AND STACKS_ROOT prefix** must all
  hold before a container is touched. Weakening any of these breaks the security
  model — discuss before changing.
- **Auth on `/update` only**. `/healthz`, `/metrics`, `/version` are intentionally
  unauthenticated (internal network, scraper/healthcheck need them). See
  `cmd/server/main.go` `routeAuth`.
- **`metrics *Metrics` parameters may be nil**; constructors and call sites check.
  Tests rely on this — don't drop the nil-check.
- **Stateless**: no DB, no config file, no on-disk audit log. Docker daemon is
  the source of truth.
- **`MODE` is exclusive because each instance owns exactly one Docker daemon.**
  A composite "handle both at once" mode has been considered and rejected: it would
  still only reach one daemon, so it buys nothing. Fleets run one instance per
  server and CI fans out. Reopen this only if a Swarm manager node starts running
  standalone Compose stacks locally. Rationale and rejected alternatives:
  `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-04-multi-server-fanout-design.md`.
- **Swarm mode's security gate is opt-in label only** — there is no
  STACKS_ROOT-equivalent path check, since Swarm services have no local compose
  file. Don't add one; don't weaken Compose mode's three-factor gate to match.

## Gotchas

- **`internal/selfupdate.Wrapped` is implemented and unit-tested but NOT wired
  into the live queue.** Spec §15 calls this out as a v1 gap. If you "fix" this,
  read the package doc — flush-before-exec ordering is subtle.
- **Image matching is case-sensitive and tag/digest-agnostic.** The tricky case
  is `localhost:5000/foo:v1` where the first colon is a port, not a tag. See
  `internal/discovery/matching.go` `NormaliseImage`.
- **Path safety uses `filepath.Rel` + ".." prefix check**, NOT `strings.HasPrefix`.
  Prevents the `/foo-evil` vs `/foo` confusion. See `internal/discovery/pathcheck.go`.
- **`STACKS_ROOT` defaults to `/home/shcizo/self-hosted`** in prod but `env.sample`
  suggests `/tmp` for smoke tests. The default in `config.go` is the prod value
  — set explicitly in test/dev envs.
- **Go 1.26.3** (`go.mod`). Dockerfile pins `golang:1.26-alpine`. Bumping one
  without the other has caused a fix commit already.
- **`<summary>` C# convention from global CLAUDE.md does not apply here** — this
  is Go. Use idiomatic GoDoc (`// FuncName does X.`).
- **Swarm mode requires manager-node API access.** `docker service update` fails
  with a permission error against a worker-only node. This is an operator/deployment
  concern (point `DOCKER_HOST` at a manager, or schedule the updater on a manager),
  not something the code can detect or work around.

- Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `ci:`, `build:`, `chore:`).
- One package = one responsibility; interfaces defined at consumer site
  (`api.Finder`, `api.Submitter`, `api.Pinger`) for testability.
- Table-driven tests with `stretchr/testify`. No mocks beyond hand-written fakes.
