Problem and resulting behavior

The repository's local Compose path had an optional API with storage disabled and no durable worker or scheduler. This change provides a checkout-isolated six-service base: API, the existing prefork Celery worker, Celery beat, PostgreSQL, Redis and source-built MinIO. Every published port and the Compose project name come from an ignored root .env; containers, network, data volumes and bounded scratch stay project-scoped.

API, worker and beat share the canonical s3_compatible artifact configuration. API startup idempotently creates and verifies only the checkout-local MinIO bucket. Local identities use the existing Flow-HMAC token contract with empty role claims, then gain authority only through the existing trust-root and grant operations.

Scope

  • Add worker/beat and MinIO bucket startup to Compose while preserving the existing Celery schedule and prefork lifecycle.
  • Make API, PostgreSQL, Redis and MinIO API/console host ports configurable.
  • Install the committed agent runtime in the shared image, initialize non-root writable project scratch, reuse existing numeric host groups and non-root UIDs, and reject UID zero explicitly.
  • Extract the existing local Flow signer for reuse by the real API drill and add a token CLI.
  • Document secure clean start, distinct actors, all six existing fixed service identities, authority bootstrap, draft project/guide upload, recovery, two-stack isolation and exact-project teardown.
  • Keep bearer values out of authenticated curl arguments and exported environments by using a mode-600 temporary header with success, failure and handled-signal cleanup.
  • Reconcile the developer quickstart, roadmap and Commitrail record; register the three local helpers in the behavior-ownership partition and classify only exact Compose service-token positions as technical worker vocabulary.

This PR does not add migrations, routes, authority contracts, runner/model-proxy services, frontend/cloud bootstrap, a fabricated approved guide, or a complete-pilot claim. The existing solo-worker guide drill is unchanged.

Current-head review repairs

  • CodeRabbit comment 4216125056: useradd --non-unique now supports a colliding non-root host UID, while an explicit pre-creation guard rejects UID zero.
  • CodeRabbit comment 4216125089: every authenticated curl example uses a private header file; token values stay out of curl argv and exported environment, shell tracing is disabled before token issuance, and cleanup retains curl's nonzero status.
  • Independent shell replay found that zsh reserves status. The helper now uses curl_status; Bash and zsh both preserve curl status and remove the header on success and failure.

Verification on 7ef5efe3325c997cf6f67916dd2c7e59df7f1142

  • Reconciled normally with current main 66a26d8d81de28af10dd39527f448047575bcadc; the merged CLI guide declaration, evaluation-capacity boundary and obsolete-payment cleanup claims remain intact.
  • backend/.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q backend/tests/test_local_pilot_scripts.py: 11 passed. The tests execute the exact documented helper with a fake curl process and prove mode 600, bearer absence from curl argv/exported environment/output, cleanup on success, curl status 23 and parent SIGTERM, and preserved statuses 23/143.
  • Direct Bash and zsh replay of the exact helper passed for curl statuses 0 and 23. Independent root replay with a local HTTP server received the Authorization header for success and HTTP 403, returned curl status 22, emitted no bearer output and removed each header file. A mutant that added the token to --user-agent failed the argv-privacy assertions.
  • Pinned Debian-image counterfactual: the old useradd --uid 1 --gid 20 form rejects the existing UID with status 4. The candidate image built as sha256:3d900ba2a1b22ea9c7ffb5a8328bf247a5ef57c88f78531443fec8926743136b; it runs as UID 1/GID 20, owns /workspace, /opt/venv and a copied-up scratch volume as 1:20, and writes scratch successfully. A UID-zero build exits at the explicit guard before account creation and produces no image.
  • Local-pilot focused Ruff, git diff --check, Commitrail validation and Markdown links: passed.
  • python3 scripts/check_stale_authorization_docs.py plus all 18 lightweight gate tests: passed.
  • backend/.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q backend/tests/test_ci_lane_catalogue.py: 42 passed.
  • Root and independent backend source reviews passed the exact clean head with no remaining findings.
  • All fresh current-head hosted checks passed. Backend run 37748809827 tested synthetic merge 87503880578ed36d83c811cddc0f3148622517a3, whose tree 6245ef92b0b5380982cbdbda3fb6d6b01d62e5b1 exactly matches this head. All nine lanes and the required aggregate passed. Root independently downloaded, merged and validated the nine bundles against the exact tested checkout: 8,727 unique collected/completed backend tests, zero skips/deselections, authenticated evidence/coverage hashes and all nine PostgreSQL/MinIO cleanup records through migration 0023.
  • Current-head hosted CLI/API suite: 57 passed (66.25s). Agent Gates, authorization preflight and both MCP checks passed.
  • Root independently exercised the exact Markdown helper with real curl and a loopback HTTP server under Bash and zsh: authentication was received, success/denial statuses 0/22 were preserved, no token appeared in captured output and headers were removed. An in-memory argv-leak mutant failed both privacy regression cases specifically at token_in_arguments, rather than at fixture setup.
  • CodeRabbit substantively reviewed 7ef5efe3; both original issue threads are resolved. Its only new note is an explicitly optional source-layer ownership optimization, with no required image-size/build-time criterion. The verified runtime ownership behavior remains intact.
  • No remaining actionable internal findings. Eligible human approval and user-owned merge remain required; issue [PILOT-01] Run the base local API and durable-worker stack #488 remains open for the evidence below.

Historical Linux live-stack evidence

The six-service Linux drill and all prior canonical checks passed on the earlier reviewed 115df4b0 source. That evidence remains historical after this push; it is not presented as exact-head hosted CI. The unchanged Compose/runtime topology reached healthy API, prefork worker concurrency two, beat, PostgreSQL, Redis and MinIO; Celery returned pong. Existing public operations created five distinct humans, all six fixed service actors, two projects and scoped grants. A real 855-byte PDF upload was verified through MinIO and survived shutdown/restart with the same digest. Forced worker and beat restarts retained the setup identity and schedule. Two isolated six-service projects ran together, and stopping/disposal of one did not affect the other.

Without a provider credential, the worker durably reserved setup and stopped before model dispatch. No successful provider-backed compilation was claimed.

Remaining issue evidence

No macOS host was available. Docker Desktop/macOS is documented as the supported path, with runtime, file-sharing, sleep/resume and architecture proof explicitly unverified.

No real provider key or activated approved guide was available. A provider-backed successful guide compilation and activated-guide task-release denial remain issue-level evidence gaps. This bounded local-runtime PR must not close #488 or imply the whole pilot is delivered.

Issue: #488

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a project-scoped local Compose stack with API, worker, scheduler, PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO. It adds bucket-provisioning and Flow-token scripts, updates setup and verification documentation, and adjusts repository checks for the new stack.

Changes

Local pilot stack

Layer / File(s) Summary
MinIO provisioning and Flow-token helpers
backend/scripts/ensure_local_minio_bucket.py, backend/scripts/local_flow_tokens.py, backend/scripts/issue_local_flow_token.py, backend/scripts/api_contract_e2e.py, backend/scripts/identifier_generation_classifications.json, backend/tests/test_local_pilot_scripts.py, backend/scripts/behavior_ownership.py, backend/tests/test_behavior_ownership.py, backend/scripts/test_lane_catalogue.py, .ci/behavior-ownership/partition.v1.json
The MinIO helper validates local MinIO settings, creates and verifies the configured bucket, and retries failures. Flow-token helpers issue signed tokens, and the CLI validates its inputs. The API contract script uses the shared signer. Tests and ownership records cover the helper additions.
Project-scoped Compose runtime
.env.example, docker/backend/Dockerfile.dev, docker-compose.yml
Compose now configures the API, worker, beat, PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO with required environment settings and configurable published ports. API startup provisions the bucket before migrations. Worker and beat use the shared backend runtime and health dependencies.
Setup documentation and repository checks
README.md, docs/engineering/local-pilot.md, docs/roadmap_status.md, .commitrail/changes/pilot-local-stack.md, scripts/check_stale_authorization_docs.py, scripts/test_lightweight_agent_gates.py
The documentation describes setup, token and grant operations, artifact storage, worker recovery, checkout isolation, and teardown. It records platform and verification limits. The authorization-document scanner and tests recognize specified Compose worker commands.

Explanation

The implementation matches the coding scope in #488. docker-compose.yml defines the six services, configurable loopback ports, project-scoped volumes, prefork worker, beat, shared s3_compatible settings, and MinIO readiness. The bucket, token, and secret-handling tests run at the reviewed head. The guide uses existing trust-root and grant operations and does not fabricate an approved guide. Full issue compliance remains unestablished. The live six-service evidence is historical for an earlier head. No macOS run is available. The guide defers contributor task-release denial until an activated guide exists.

Resolution

Provide exact-reviewed-head Linux live-stack evidence and Docker Desktop/macOS startup evidence. Provide the scoped contributor task-release denial evidence when a genuine guide is activated, or record the issue-level limitation if that prerequisite remains unavailable.

rejects LOCAL_UID=0 before creating workstream, then permits duplicate non-root
UIDs with useradd’s non-unique option. Preserve the existing group setup and
ensure UID 0 cannot reach the USER workstream runtime configuration.

- Around line 92-96: Update the authenticated request examples in the guide to
avoid passing bearer tokens in curl arguments. Add a helper that writes the
Authorization header to a mode-600 temporary file, uses it with curl, and
removes it afterward; route actor_id and every other authenticated request
through this helper, including grant operations using ADMIN_TOKEN.

43-45: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Narrow the ownership change to avoid copying the source tree again.

COPY backend/ ./ places the source in an earlier layer. The later recursive chown can add copy-up work for that source tree. Compose then bind-mounts ./backend over /workspace/backend, so this ownership change has no normal Compose runtime benefit.

uv sync creates /opt/venv in the same RUN instruction. Its ownership change does not duplicate a previous virtual-environment layer. Retain it to preserve the current non-root behavior. Use COPY --chown for the copied source instead.

Suggested fix
-COPY backend/ ./
+COPY --chown=${LOCAL_UID}:${LOCAL_GID} backend/ ./

 RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv \
     uv sync --locked --extra agents --extra dev \
-    && chown -R "${LOCAL_UID}:${LOCAL_GID}" /workspace /opt/venv
+    && chown -R "${LOCAL_UID}:${LOCAL_GID}" /opt/venv

This is an optional build optimization. No explicit project requirement for image size or build time was found.
