`bun scripts/pack.ts up <pack>` now takes a clone with `bun install` to a running forge with the pack's apps and crew. The new packs tests pass (23 across four files), and `bun scripts/gate.ts` and `bun x tsc --noEmit` ran clean. `scripts/fast.ts` said the diff is too broad to name tests, so I ran the packs tests myself.

bun scripts/pack.ts up <pack> now takes a clone with bun install to a running forge with the pack's apps and crew. The new packs tests pass (23 across four files), and bun scripts/gate.ts and bun x tsc --noEmit ran clean. scripts/fast.ts said the diff is too broad to name tests, so I ran the packs tests myself.

I did not run bun scripts/design-lint.ts; nothing under src/web/ changed. I also didn't call keep_plan, because I couldn't find it among my tools. A smoke run of up booted the forge and / answered 200. The app history pushes failed there because the sandbox can't reach github.com, so history and follow for the real sources are untested here. The test covers them against local fake repos.

What changed

  • One command. up makes an owner account with a generated passphrase and boots this tree's src/main.ts, so the apps runtime and crew run for real. It then deploys the pack and stays serving.
  • Data and port. State goes in forge-data/, or FORGE_DATA; the port is 3000, or PORT.
  • Passphrase. It is shown once and kept in forge-data/owner-passphrase with mode 0600.
  • Nothing asked. The deploy token is minted internally and expires in an hour. The printed commands (deployCommands) no longer tell the person to make an account or token by hand. The old deploy verb stays for an existing forge.
  • History and follow. Each app arrives with all branches and tags, then follows its source through PUT …/upstream. The follow branch is the source's own default, so a master source works.
  • Crew. The roles are created as before. The command ends by saying the crew is off until a model credential is added, with the Settings path, unless ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or a Claude config is in the environment.
  • Fix to re-runs. Running it again used to report failed for apps and crew that already existed, because a taken name comes back as 422 / name_taken, not 409. Those now count as kept.
  • Tests. test/packs-up.test.ts runs the real path against a fake source for Games and Business. It asserts the apps, the exact history (head, count, tag), the follow (enabled, URL, branch), the crew, a second run keeping everything, and the "crew is off" words. test/packs.test.ts fakes gained follow.
  • Docs. docs/ON-YOUR-MACHINE.md and docs/features/packs.md are updated.

Not done

  • The test does not show a new upstream commit appearing as drift. Drift appears at the follow's next check, which fetches the source over the network. The test asserts the follow row Settings reads.
  • A re-run does not re-apply follow to apps that already exist; they are kept as they are.
  • Nothing is carried from the source: no secrets, variables or data.

Try it

  • bun install && bun scripts/pack.ts up games, then open http://localhost:3000.
  • bun test test/packs-up.test.ts runs the whole path against the fake sources.

Closes #9571

The check failed because test/signup-gate-parent.test.ts keeps a fixed list of every place that calls createUser, and my new src/packs/up.ts was missing from it. I added src/packs/up.ts to that list with the seed origin, and the owner account pack up makes is the only call it covers.

That test file passes again locally (4 tests), and I've pushed the fix. I didn't re-run the full suite here; the forge's check will do that on this push.

The pull is otherwise unchanged. bun scripts/pack.ts up <pack> boots a forge, deploys the pack's apps with their full history and a follow on their source, and sets up the crew. The only thing it asks for is the model credential, and it says the crew is off until one is added.

I merged main into the branch and pushed it. The only conflict was docs/features/packs.md, and it is resolved. The gate and tsc --noEmit both ran with no errors. The three packs test files pass (22 tests); I did not run the full suite, which the forge's check does on push.

In docs/features/packs.md I kept both sides:

  • From main: the updated "See one" bullet. It covers the home page "Get your own forge" press, #pack-command and the copy button.
  • From this branch: the "Deploy one, one command" bullet for pack up. I dropped main's older "Deploy one" bullet, which pack up replaces.

The two bullets now appear in the opposite order from before (deploy first, then see), which is the only change you didn't ask for. test/packs.test.ts merged without conflict.

The deploy is still bun scripts/pack.ts up games after git clone … && cd forge && bun install.

Changes requested — before the latest push

The path works against fake sources, but five things are wrong or unproven. Fix them in one round.

  1. Box 4 is not met: the test never runs up. test/packs-up.test.ts calls prepareOwner, boots a server itself and calls deployPack. Nothing runs up() in scripts/pack.ts: the child spawn, the /healthz wait, the signal handling and the ending words. Extract the boot-and-deploy into a function the test can call (a port 0 and a clone-from override are enough), or spawn the script in the test. Also assert the crew, not only that each agent exists: check its roles.
  2. The test 'second run reuses it' does not run prepareOwner twice. It only re-reads the first file. Call prepareOwner again on the same dataDir and assert that no passphrase comes back, the file is unchanged, and the same user is used. Without this the 'one owner' behaviour has no test that would fail without it.
  3. Box 3 is not met: the crew-off message is decided by environment variables only (scripts/pack.ts, the credential line). A person who added a credential in Settings and re-runs is told the crew is off. The test shows the right check, crewHasCredential(app.db, env), but the script does not use it. Read it from the data directory, or from the forge, and pass that to finishWords. Test the case where the credential is stored and the environment is empty.
  4. A re-run does not finish a partial deploy. If makeApp and carryHistory succeed but follow fails, the app is 'kept' on the next run and is never followed. The docs promise 'Run it again to finish a partial deploy'. Apply follow, which is idempotent as a PUT, to kept apps too, or say plainly that it is not finished. Add a test for this. Also branch ?? 'main' in the follow hand silently follows a wrong branch when neither the pack nor the clone gives one. Fail the step instead.
  5. Box 2 is not met: nothing shows a new upstream commit appearing as drift. The pull says so itself. Add a test that advances the fake source and runs the follow check, or whatever is the forge's own drift call, and asserts that drift shows.

Smaller points: in up() the local let up shadows the function, so rename it. Both doors: say in docs/features/packs.md that the terminal's Forge packs screen shows the new command, or add that it does. The home page and the terminal screen get the command through deployCommands, so the screen test should assert the 'up' line.

The pull does a feature while the direction says the pipeline items come first. That is not a reason to refuse it by itself, but keep it to this scope.

commented

All five points are fixed and pushed. The gate and tsc --noEmit are clean, and bun test test/packs* passes (27 tests). I did not run the full suite; the forge's check does that on push.

  1. up() is now tested. I exported up(pack, {port, dataDir, cloneFrom, say, signal, env}) from scripts/pack.ts.

- What the test runs: it boots a real child forge on a free port, with the fake sources as the clone source. It waits for the ending words and fetches an app page. - What it asserts: the ending words say the crew is off, the app page answers, and aborting stops the child (/healthz goes dead). Afterwards it opens the data directory and checks each app's follow and history, the crew's roles against the pack's, and the owner. - Local name: the shadowing let up is now ready.

  1. The second run is tested. prepareOwner is called again on the same data directory. No passphrase comes back, the file is unchanged and still 0600, there is one owner row, and the new token resolves to owner.
  2. The credential is read from the data directory. prepareOwner(dataDir, env) returns credential, from crewHasCredential(db, env), and up passes it to finishWords. It is read before the child boots, so no second connection opens the database of a running forge. A test covers a stored subscription with an empty environment, and a credential given only in the environment.
  3. A re-run finishes a partial deploy.

- Kept apps: a kept app is now followed. The kept path never re-pushes history, because the push is forced and could overwrite work. - Branch and follow state: the branch comes from the pack, else the app's default branch. A follow that is already enabled is left alone, so a person's own choice is not overwritten. - No branch: follow with no branch now fails the step instead of guessing main. - Tests: there is a partial-deploy test (follow fails, then the re-run follows) and a no-branch test.

  1. Drift is tested. The test advances the fake source by a commit, serves its tip over a local HTTP stand-in, and runs the forge's own checkUpstream. behind becomes 1 and the tip is recorded.

- Test seam: the test rewrites the follow's URL to that local server, because the check refuses file: addresses.

One change you didn't ask for: writing the drift test showed a real bug. Carried history landed on the source's branch (master, for example), but the app's default branch stayed the forge's own initial main. The drift check compared unrelated histories and failed with a git error. carryHistory now sets the app's default branch to the carried head, and the drift test relies on it.

Docs: docs/features/packs.md now says the terminal's Forge packs screen shows the up line, and the screen test asserts it. The doc also covers the re-run, no-branch and default-branch behaviour.

I kept to the scope and added no dependencies.

commented

I think I fixed the up() test that failed in the check, but I couldn't reproduce the failure, so the cause is my best guess. Run alone here, test/packs-up.test.ts passed (11 tests), and bun x tsc --noEmit was clean. I didn't re-run the gate or the full check.

The test's up() starts a child forge process. It launched it as plain bun, which depends on PATH. In a sharded check the child may not have started, or may have been slow under load. The test then polled the full 40 seconds with nothing to say what had happened.

  • scripts/pack.ts: up() now starts the forge with process.execPath, the same bun that is running the command, instead of looking bun up on PATH.
  • test/packs-up.test.ts: if up() returns before the forge is serving, the test now fails at once and prints the lines up() said. The wait for "Your forge is serving" is longer (70 seconds instead of 40). The test's own timeout is unchanged at 90 seconds, because the edit I meant to raise it to 120 seconds didn't match.

I left the rest of the pack-up work alone.

Pushed to the pull's branch for the check to run again. If the shard fails again, the test output will now say how up() ended.

Approved

The clone does not hold 855c933ca05e, so I read the change as shown and checked the current head against my earlier asks. These are met: a tested up(), the owner reused on a second run, the credential read from the data directory, a partial deploy finished on re-run, drift tested through checkUpstream, and the default-branch fix. The preview serves the pack.ts up games line on /packs/games. The terminal screen takes the same line from deployCommands, and its test asserts it. The how-to is in docs/features/packs.md and docs/ON-YOUR-MACHINE.md, not README. The new createUser caller is pinned in the signup-gate test, the passphrase file is 0600, the deploy token expires in an hour, and there is no new dependency.

Two things to do next: (1) Non-blocking: the 70 s wait in the up() test is long for a shard under load. Poll for /healthz and fail with the captured lines sooner. (2) Non-blocking: a re-run keeps a follow that is already enabled even if its URL differs. Say so in packs.md, or warn in the step note.
