Jon Chery c51eba5e84 fix(P99): P0 heredoc command injection + ROADMAP/REQUIREMENTS reconciliation
P0 fix (final review T1): internal/sshpush/idempotency.go heredoc
command injection via fixed EOF delimiter. Replaced with per-write random
delimiter verified absent from content (strings.Contains check). Fake SSH
server updated to parse the delimiter dynamically from the command. This
prevents command injection via crafted file content in multi-tenant
namespaces.

ROADMAP reconciliation (final review T2.1): updated v0.9 phase list to
reflect actual execution — 14 tagged phases (P03/P04/P08 combined,
P07a/b/c combined), tags v0.8.1..v0.8.14. Milestone marked COMPLETE.
Phase checkboxes marked [x] with actual REQs covered.

REQUIREMENTS reconciliation: 21 v0.9-scoped REQs marked Complete
(062,063,064,067,068,069,070,071,072,073,074,076,077,078,081,082,
083,085,088,089,090). 9 v0.10-deferred REQs (061,065,066,075,079,
080,084,086,087) Phase columns fixed to reference only v0.10 (not v0.9/v0.8)
so verify-reqs doesn't flag them as belonging to completed milestones.

Final review: P0 fixed. P1 warnings logged for post-hoc v0.10: fuzz in CI,
podman command quoting, scheduler O(n^2), ProcessRuntime stdout leak,
host-key verification path gap. 12/19 grill gates cleared; 7 deferred to
v0.10 (C-08,C-09,C-11,C-12,C-13,C-19).

26 packages pass, 20 bats pass, gofmt clean, verify-reqs 90 consistent.

Raw Blame History

Roadmap: Orca

Milestone v0.1: Foundation — COMPLETE

  • Phase 0: Project Initialization & Specification
  • Phase 1: Core CLI Skeleton & Command Parsing
  • Phase 2: Basic Node Management (Join/Leave)
  • Phase 3: Simple Task Execution Engine
  • Phase 4: Local State Persistence
  • Phase 5: Basic Health Checking
  • Phase 6: CoreCI Full Release Flow

Tagged v0.2.0 (next-minor per feature-milestone promotion rule).

Deferred to v0.2 (out of scope for v0.1)

  • Multi-node scheduling (D-004 decision: single-node only in v0.1)
  • mTLS for inter-node communication (REQ-011, REQ-023)
  • gosec + govulncheck in CI pipeline (REQ-014)
  • iter.Seq streaming job lists (REQ-022)
  • Frontend / devops personas (no web UI; CoreCI handles release)

Milestone v0.2: Networking, Observability, Security Hardening — COMPLETE (merged to main via v0.3)

Scope: extend v0.1 with secure cross-node transport, multi-node scheduling, richer CI security scanning, and streaming I/O.

  • Phase 8: mTLS handshake + internal CA with CSR join (Wave 1) — shipped v0.2.1
  • Phase 9: Multi-node scheduling & job dispatch (Wave 1) — shipped v0.2.2
  • Phase 10: gosec + govulncheck + gitleaks in CI (Wave 2) — shipped v0.2.3
  • Phase 11: iter.Seq streaming job/node lists (Wave 2) — completed in v0.3 P01 (shipped v0.3.1)

Milestone tag: v0.4.0 (shipped — v0.2 work merged to main via v0.3 milestone).

Per-phase tags: v0.2.1 (P01), v0.2.2 (P02), v0.2.3 (P03) — all shipped.

Milestone v0.3: Scheduling & Streaming Completion — COMPLETE

Scope: complete the two work items deferred from v0.2 that were not already shipped in P08-P10. A re-init SPECIFY codebase audit confirmed that REQ-014/027/028/029/031/037/039/040 all shipped in P08-P10 despite stale REQUIREMENTS.md marking them Pending. The remaining work is lean:

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan → grill) — shipped v0.3.0
  • Phase 1: iter.Seq streaming for --watch flags (REQ-022, REQ-030) — shipped v0.3.1
  • Phase 2: orca doctor network + db full implementation (REQ-032 completion) — shipped v0.3.2
  • Phase 3: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — shipped v0.3.3

Milestone tag: v0.4.0 (next-minor per feature-milestone promotion rule).

Per-phase tags: v0.3.0 (P0), v0.3.1 (P01), v0.3.2 (P02), v0.3.3 (P03 final = milestone release). Per .ciagent/RELEASE_POLICY.md, every phase tag produces a Gitea release.

Per-phase REQ coverage

  • P01 — iter.Seq streaming for --watch flags

    • REQ-022 (iter.Seq for streaming job lists, Go 1.25+)
    • REQ-030 (--watch output format mode: table default vs streaming JSON per event)
    • Applies to both orca job list --watch and orca node list --watch (D-024, per ARCHITECTURE.md CLI layer + D-017)
  • P02 — orca doctor network + db full implementation

    • REQ-032 (completion: network reachability via mTLS /healthz probe, db integrity via PRAGMA integrity_check + migration version)
    • Replaces NetworkStub and DBStub from v0.2 P01

v0.3 is a completion milestone, not a direction change

The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration engine") is unchanged. v0.3 closes out the v0.2 deferrals and merges the accumulated v0.2 work to main.

Milestone v0.5: Distribution — COMPLETE

Scope: make Orca installable, distributable, and containerized. The engine functionality from v0.1v0.3 is unchanged; this milestone is purely about delivery surface.

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan) — shipped v0.4.1 (+ repo public)
  • Phase 1: Namespace unification (ORCA_HOME + --system) (REQ-041, REQ-042) — shipped v0.4.2
  • Phase 2: install.sh + in-place update + README quickstart (REQ-043, REQ-044) — shipped v0.4.3
  • Phase 3: Docker release (Dockerfile + Gitea container registry) (REQ-046) — shipped v0.4.4
  • Phase 4: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — shipped v0.4.5

Operational prerequisite (P0 ship): repo + org visibility flipped to public (REQ-045) — unauth releases API + asset download + docker pull all verified HTTP 200.

Milestone tag: v0.4.5 (final phase patch = milestone release per feature-milestone promotion rule). Per-phase tags: v0.4.1v0.4.5.

Milestone v0.6: Node Bootstrap & Proxmox

Milestone v0.6: Node Bootstrap & Proxmox — COMPLETE

Scope: make orca init produce a fully working single-node cluster (CA + server cert + DB + localhost node registered with auto-detected OS), and add Proxmox 8 & 9 as a first-class remote node type joined over SSH with least-privilege role delegation.

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan → grill) — tag v0.5.0
  • Phase 1: orca init full bootstrap + localhost node + schema 0006 (REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049) — tag v0.5.1
  • Phase 2: Proxmox SSH join + OrcaOperator role + sudoers allowlist (REQ-050, REQ-051) — tag v0.5.2
  • Phase 3: doctor os + doctor proxmox SSH probe + audit logging (REQ-052) — tag v0.5.3
  • Phase 4: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — tag v0.5.4

Milestone type: feature (P1/P2/P3 ship feat phases). Milestone tag: v0.5.4 (final phase patch = milestone release per feature-milestone promotion rule). Per-phase tags: v0.5.0v0.5.4.

Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.5.x) per branch-strategy.md. The milestone branch label uses the milestone number (milestone/v0.6-node-bootstrap-proxmox); no separate minor tag is created.

Milestone v0.7: Hardening & Completion — COMPLETE

Scope: NFR milestone closing gaps surfaced by the v0.7 IDEATE stage — an unreachable command tree, a missing config file layer, low test coverage in core packages, and the long-deferred pprof endpoint.

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → ideate → plan) — tag v0.6.0 (shipped)
  • Phase 1: Register orca cert command tree + cert_repo tests (REQ-053) — tag v0.6.1 (shipped)
  • Phase 2: HCL config file parsing — internal/config package (REQ-054) — tag v0.6.2 (shipped)
  • Phase 3: Test coverage uplift — engine/transport/proxmox/audit ≥ 50% (REQ-055) — tag v0.6.3 (shipped)
  • Phase 4: --pprof opt-in on orca daemon (REQ-056) — tag v0.6.4 (shipped)
  • Phase 5: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — tag v0.6.5 (shipped)

Milestone type: NFR (all phases are fix/test/chore; no feat phases). Milestone tag: v0.6.5 (final phase patch = milestone release per NFR-milestone progressive-patch rule). Per-phase tags: v0.6.0v0.6.5. Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.6.x) per branch-strategy.md. The milestone branch label uses the milestone number (milestone/v0.7-hardening-completion); no separate minor tag.

Milestone v0.8: Coverage & Trust Hardening — COMPLETE

Scope: continue the v0.7 hardening theme. v0.7 P03's ≥ 50% floor left six packages still under 50% (engine 8.3%, proxmox 5.1%, cli 27.6%, transport 26.3%, store 46.7%, jobspec 47.6%) and three packages with no tests at all (internal/audit, internal/certpaths, cmd/orca). v0.8 also closes the two SSH-trust "future enhancement" hooks deferred in v0.6 (D-035 --host-key-fingerprint pre-pin, RESEARCH_v0.6 §80 orca node key-reset) and adds a requirements-hygiene gate to prevent the stale-REQ-status drift seen after v0.7 ship.

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan → grill) — tag v0.7.0 (shipped)
  • Phase 1: Test coverage uplift round 2 — 6 packages to ≥ 70%, 3 zero-test packages to first tests (REQ-057) — tag v0.7.1 (shipped)
  • Phase 2: SSH trust hardening — --host-key-fingerprint pre-pin + orca node key-reset + TOFU bugfix + HostKeyFingerprint population (REQ-058, REQ-059) — tag v0.7.2 (shipped)
  • Phase 3: Requirements-hygiene gate — make verify-reqs + verify assertion (REQ-060) — tag v0.7.3 (shipped)
  • Phase 4: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — tag v0.7.4 (shipped)

Milestone type: NFR (P01 test, P02 chore on trust surface per D-043, P03 chore, P04 docs/review). Final phase patch IS the milestone release per NFR-milestone progressive-patch rule. Per-phase tags: v0.7.0v0.7.4. Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.7.x) per branch-strategy.md. The milestone branch label uses the milestone number (milestone/v0.8-coverage-trust-hardening); no separate minor tag.

Per-phase REQ coverage

  • P01 — Coverage uplift round 2

    • REQ-057 (raise internal/engine, internal/proxmox, internal/cli, internal/transport, internal/store, internal/jobspec to ≥ 70%; add first tests for internal/audit, internal/certpaths, cmd/orca)
  • P02 — SSH trust hardening

    • REQ-058 (--host-key-fingerprint <sha256> pre-pin flag on orca node join --type proxmox; fail fast on mismatch; supersedes TOFU for pre-pinned deployments)
    • REQ-059 (orca node key-reset <node> clears persisted SSH host key so next doctor proxmox/dispatch re-pins via TOFU or --host-key-fingerprint)
  • P03 — Requirements-hygiene gate

    • REQ-060 (make verify-reqs target + verify-stage assertion: every REQ Complete in ROADMAP.md has matching Complete row in REQUIREMENTS.md; enforced in CI validate pipeline)

v0.8 is a continuation milestone, not a direction change

The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration engine") is unchanged. v0.8 closes the coverage debt left by v0.7's 50% floor and the trust-surface gaps explicitly deferred in v0.6.

Milestone v0.9: Re-architecture Foundation & Workloads — COMPLETE

Scope: This milestone SUPERSPEDES the shipped v0.1v0.8 architecture per the adopted PRD (.ciagent/PRD_v0.9.md). The re-architecture is justified on six grounds recorded in the PROJECT.md Supersession Table: (1) the v0.8 daemon model is operationally failing, (2) step-ca is externally mandated, (3) multi-tenancy is a hard product requirement, (4) WASM is a hard workload requirement, (5) SSH-push is the only viable deployment target, (6) vision correction. The 16 load-bearing rules (R-001…R-016) are invariants. The ci-griller reviewed the re-architecture adversarially; the user overrode the Re-architecture Justification REPLAN with the six-part evidence basis; the 19 binding conditions (C-01..C-19) and 10 phase challenges (PC-01..PC-10) from GRILL_v0.9.md are adopted as execution gates. 30 net-new requirements (REQ-061..REQ-090) derive from IDEATION_v0.9.md.

Milestone type: feature (P01..P10 ship feat phases; P00/P0X are chore/docs).

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → ideate → plan → grill) — tag v0.8.0 (shipped; this is the phase you are reading)
  • Phase P00: Deprecation sweep + bash tooling gate + render contract + doc banners (REQ-068,072,088,089,090; gates C-03,C-05,C-06,C-15..C-18) — tag v0.8.1
  • Phase P0a1: Multi-namespace path resolver + config demotion + known_hosts flock (REQ-063,069,070,071; gate C-07) — tag v0.8.2
  • Phase P0a2: Namespace CRUD + inheritance engine (REQ-082) — tag v0.8.3
  • Phase P0b: Markdown jobspec parser + dispatcher + fuzz (REQ-064,067) — tag v0.8.4
  • Phase P0c: Job/Service/DaemonSet schemas + emitter interface (REQ-074) — tag v0.8.5
  • Phase P01: SSH-push transport (REQ-073) — tag v0.8.6
  • Phase P02: Service block + Traefik emitter (REQ-077; gate C-10) — tag v0.8.7
  • Phase P03/P04/P08: Update stanza + lifecycle hooks + socket plumbing (combined) — tag v0.8.8
  • Phase P05: CLI-side scheduler + CEL constraints (REQ-083) — tag v0.8.9
  • Phase P06: Task groups (multi-process services) — tag v0.8.10
  • Phase P07a/b/c: Runtime abstraction — 5 backends (REQ-078; gate C-01) — tag v0.8.11
  • Phase P09: Syncthing storage replication (REQ-081; gates C-02,C-14) — tag v0.8.12
  • Phase P10: Lead rules + step-ca (REQ-076) — tag v0.8.13
  • Phase P0X: Ship + audit (REQ-062,068) — tag v0.8.14

Milestone tag: v0.8.15 (final phase patch = milestone release per feature-milestone progressive-patch rule). Per-phase tags: v0.8.1v0.8.14. P03/P04/P08 were combined into one phase; P07a/b/c were combined into one phase. Actual execution: 14 tagged phases. Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.8.x) per branch-strategy.md. The milestone branch label uses the milestone number (milestone/v0.9-rearchitecture); no separate minor tag.

Per-phase REQ coverage (v0.9)

  • P00 — Deprecation/migration/test-infra/persona/docs foundation (REQ-072, REQ-085, REQ-088, REQ-089, REQ-090)
  • P0a1 — Path resolver + config demotion + known_hosts flock (REQ-063, REQ-069, REQ-070, REQ-071)
  • P0a2 — Namespace inheritance resolver (REQ-082)
  • P0b — Markdown parser + adapter + fuzz (REQ-064, REQ-067)
  • P0c — Schemas + emitter interface (REQ-074)
  • P01 — SSH-push transport (REQ-073)
  • P02 — Service + Traefik emitter (REQ-077)
  • P05 — CLI-side scheduler (REQ-083)
  • P07a/b/c — Runtime abstraction (REQ-078) + step-ca integration (REQ-076)
  • P09 — Syncthing replication (REQ-081)
  • P0X — Coverage gate (REQ-062) + deprecation warnings (REQ-068)

v0.9 is a DIRECTION CHANGE — first in the project's history

Every prior milestone (v0.1v0.8) explicitly said "the vision is unchanged; this milestone is not a direction change." v0.9 is the first milestone that reverses the vision's anti-patterns (daemon-on-every-node, internal CA, HCL-canonical, single-namespace, no-container-runtime, no-SPIFFE). The reversals are justified by the six-part evidence basis recorded in the PROJECT.md Supersession Table.

Milestone v0.10: Production Hardening

Scope: ship a cluster that operators can run. Builds on the v0.9 re-architecture foundation with the production-grade subsystems: secrets, transactions, ACL/SPIFFE, backup/restore, drain, recovery, and the v0.8→v1.0 migration.

Milestone type: feature (multiple feat phases).

  • Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan → grill) — tag v0.9.0
  • Phase P00: CLI cache layer (REQ-062 cache floor; R-008) — tag v0.9.1
  • Phase P01: Metrics endpoint (hand-rolled text exposition) — tag v0.9.2
  • Phase P01.5: SPIFFE SVID minting spike (REQ-076; gate C-08 — if spike fails, fall back to mTLS identity) — tag v0.9.3
  • Phase P02: ACL (SPIFFE + token identities) — tag v0.9.4
  • Phase P03: Secrets subsystem (REQ-080; gate C-19 threat model) — tag v0.9.5
  • Phase P04: Backup/restore (tar + signed) — tag v0.9.6
  • Phase P05: Drain + daemon drain-and-stop (REQ-061) — tag v0.9.7
  • Phase P06: Alloc history (CLI-side SQLite retention; REQ-071 cache DB) — tag v0.9.8
  • Phase P07: Recovery (orca restore) — tag v0.9.9
  • Phase P08: Integration tests — expand hermetic harness (REQ-087) — tag v0.9.10
  • Phase P09: Collector + aggregator (opt-in; gates C-11, C-12, C-14) — tag v0.9.11
  • Phase P10: Transactional plane (REQ-075, REQ-079; gate C-09 orca-pull.sh failure contract) — tag v0.9.12
  • Phase P11: orca job lint (REQ-084) — tag v0.9.13
  • Phase P12: orca job verify (dry-run txn through lead) — tag v0.9.14
  • Phase P13: orca ns subcommands (full surface) + deprecation warnings (REQ-068) — tag v0.9.15
  • Phase P14a: v0.8→v1.0 data migration (REQ-066; gate C-07 CA migration spec) — tag v0.9.16
  • Phase P14b: Daemon cutover + running-allocation adoption — tag v0.9.17
  • Phase P14c: Mixed-version tolerance + no-orca-on-server enforcement (REQ-065, REQ-086; implements C-13) — tag v0.9.18
  • Phase P15: README quickstart (REQ-089) — tag v0.9.19
  • Phase P15.5: Threat model + security review (gate C-19) — tag v0.9.20
  • Phase P16: Final review + ship + audit — v0.10.0 milestone release — tag v0.9.21 (v1.0.0 cut separately after UAT sign-off)

Milestone tag: v0.10.0 (the v0.10 milestone release tag; v1.0.0 is UAT-gated and cut separately after v0.10 completion per operator decision — the v1.0.0 tag marks production-ready sign-off, not a separate milestone). Per-phase patches run on the v0.9.x line per branch-strategy.md. Per-phase tags: v0.9.0v0.9.21.

Per-phase REQ coverage (v0.10)

  • P00 — CLI cache (R-008)
  • P01.5 — SPIFFE spike (REQ-076; C-08)
  • P03 — Secrets (REQ-080; C-19)
  • P05 — Drain + daemon stop (REQ-061)
  • P06 — Alloc history (REQ-071 cache DB)
  • P08 — Integration tests (REQ-087)
  • P10 — Transactional plane (REQ-075, REQ-079; C-09)
  • P11 — Job lint (REQ-084)
  • P13 — ns subcommands + deprecation warnings (REQ-068)
  • P14a/b/c — Migration (REQ-066, REQ-065, REQ-086; C-07, C-13)
  • P15 — README (REQ-089)
  • P15.5 — Threat model (C-19)

Risk register (from grill, for ongoing monitoring)

  • step-ca single-instance SPOF (mitigation: C-12 doc; v1.x HA via systemd failover)
  • master.key passphrase-less 0600 (mitigation: C-19 threat model; consider OS keyring in v1.x)
  • wasmtime CGO breaks cross-compile (mitigation: C-01 spike; fallback to podman/process primary)
  • bash control plane drift (mitigation: C-15..C-18 render-format contract + bats gate)
  • daemon cutover orphans running allocs (mitigation: P14b split; test adoption)
  • 27→35+ phase scope (mitigation: C-04 resolved — operator decision: keep 2 milestones v0.9 + v0.10, keep all phases, v1.0 is UAT-gated after v0.10; current count v0.9=18 + v0.10=22 = 40 phases, exceeds 35 soft limit but operator accepted)

Deferred to v1.x (out of scope for v0.10)

  • sqlite-wal-shared state backend (R-009 abstractions ship in v1.0; backend in v1.x)
  • git state backend
  • file+flock state backend
  • orca cluster setup-shared UX
  • HA step-ca (active/passive via systemd)
  • Journald log shipping (optional centralized audit)
  • Network policy (nftables snippets)
  • GPU / TPU constraints

Deferred to v2.x (out of scope for v1.x)

  • Full Nomad-HCL parser with no conversion round-trip
  • Nomad-API subset for migrating existing Nomad fleets
  • Nomad driver bridge
  • Helm-equivalent templating (probably never)
  • Service mesh beyond Traefik
  • CRDs / Operators / Plugin model
  • Leader-elected Raft coordinator
  • External CA / Let's Encrypt / cert transparency
  • Online-only features (HSTS, OCSP stapling, telemetry)
