Adds docs/WALLY_LAUNCH_CHECKLIST.md — what remains before a public release of
this CLI that carries the cloud commands and points at production.

Contents

  1. The target behaviour once the cloud commands ship.
  2. What is true today, verified against this repository.
  3. The remaining work as a checklist, each row with a size and what it blocks.
  4. Edge cases and failure modes — a browser that never returns from device
    login, a stale or revoked credential, spend counters overflowing, an
    installer that extracts before it verifies.
  5. Open product questions.

How the claims were checked

Every row is sourced to something in this repository — a file path, a commit, a
release tag, a PR, or a public issue — and each was verified against the code
before being written down. That check changed several rows rather than
confirming them:

  • Two file:line citations were wrong and were corrected.
  • One citation was dropped entirely; the cited range was unrelated Windows
    DLL-staging code and did not support the claim made from it.
  • A stated PR count contradicted this repository's own history and was removed.
  • A claim that install.ps1 lacked checksum and version verification was
    backwards — it has both, with rollback. The gap is on the shell installer.

Paths were checked against origin/main, the v0.5.2 tag, and the current
HEAD.

Documentation only — no code, build, packaging or CI changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the Wally CLI launch checklist to match the current checkout and latest release status.
    • Reconciled guidance for repository state, login origins, usage, harness behavior, testing, releases, and edge cases.
    • Clarified that usage overflow is fixed in the unreleased implementation and will be visible when RCLI-8 ships.
    • Added current status updates for RCLI-6 through RCLI-11 and RCLI-29.

Adds docs/WALLY_LAUNCH_CHECKLIST.md - what remains before a public release of
this CLI that carries the cloud commands (login, whoami, usage, logout) and
points at production.

Structure: the target behaviour, then what is true today, then the remaining
work as a checklist, then edge cases and failure modes, then open product
questions.

Every claim is grounded in this repository - a file path, a commit, a PR, or a
public issue - and was checked against the code before being written down.
Several claims were corrected during that check, including two wrong line
citations and a PR count that contradicted the repository's own history.

Documentation only. No code, build, packaging or CI changes.

Limit the “every row” rule to factual claims.

Lines 13-16 say every row is either VERIFIED or an open question. The Phase 0–3 tables use other states, including Open, Not done — hard blocker, Fixed on origin/main, unreleased, and Not yet needed. Change the rule to cover factual claims, or define the status model for work-item rows. The current wording makes the checklist’s reading rule inaccurate.

- Line 266: Update the usage-spend overflow entry in the checklist to describe
the defect as latent in the unreleased implementation: users cannot encounter it
while usage is absent from HEAD and published releases, and it becomes
user-visible when RCLI-8 ships. Preserve the existing Windows spend threshold
and int64 fix details.
- Line 267: Update the “Missing coding-tool binary at harness launch time”
checklist entry to reconcile Linux support status: either remove Linux from the
shipped-platform wording or explicitly distinguish build-path support from
released-platform support, while preserving the existing macOS behavior and
Linux failure details.
- Around line 72-73: Update the checklist’s origin-validation claim to match
actual coverage: either add a CI test fixture using an approval origin different
from console_origin and reference that test, or revise the claim to describe
code-level rejection rather than CI-exercised validation. Keep the existing
header-injection and secret-echoing claims unchanged.

Separate origin validation from CI coverage.

The checklist claims that an origin-spoofing attempt fails a CI-exercised test. The named tests cover header injection and secret echoing only. tests/test_account_cli.py builds verification_url from the same console_origin, so it cannot exercise an out-of-origin approval URL. Add a test fixture with a different approval origin, or change the claim to code-level rejection.

sanchitmonga22 and others added 2 commits September 5, 2026 21:25
Sanchit made 38 decisions and 5 documented corrections on 2026-09-05, in
conversation, against the rulings these documents raised. They are applied
here. The load-bearing ones:

  D23  The launch date moves rather than shipping something unfinished.
       Tuesday 2026-09-08 is a target, not a reason to skip a gate.
  D31  The exit criterion is five cohort users each completing signup
       through to billed inference - not a date.
  D8   The money ledger moves to Google Cloud BEFORE launch, with the
       database layer abstracted so it can move between GCP and AWS.
  D37  Alerting is a NO-GO gate: live, firing to a real destination, and
       proven by watching one alert fire before customers arrive.
  D25  Corpus retention is 30 days, and it is irreversible - the window
       shuts on the first production object written.
  D16  Per-user concurrency ceilings stay deliberately OPEN, because they
       determine how many plans can be sold.

Corrections, each verified against the file that disproves the old claim:

  C1  Production Stripe and Resend secrets are NOT on the running revision.
      They exist in Secret Manager; the revision was never redeployed after
      they were created. Production billing is unconfigured and the welcome
      email does not send.
  C2  Observability is not disabled. `enabled` defaults to true; what is
      actually off is narrower.
  C5  "Development is done, all three models proven" is FALSE. The dated
      qualification artifact records stage FAIL - glm-5.3-flash FAIL,
      qwen3.8-27b PASS, gemma-4 FAIL. One of three models passed.

305 -> 315 lines. A cross-model review of this checklist found that most of its
"present only on origin/main, not in this checkout" claims were already stale
when written: the front matter described a detached checkout at d87502a, from
before PR #60 landed `usage`, the console-web-url split and several security
fixes, while the branch carrying this document was cut from origin/main after
those merges. Verified with git merge-base and git log: this branch contains
every commit through origin/main's tip. The intro and roughly twenty rows
across the login, usage, harness and error-handling tables are corrected, and
the rows those claims covered are marked done with the file that shows it.

Marked done with evidence rather than deleted, because a checklist listing
finished work as remaining wastes the reader's time:

  - `usage` exists here (src/commands/cmd_usage.cpp).
  - The RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL split-origin fix is present
    (src/account/credentials.cpp:60-71,522-535).
  - AGENTS.md:112-115 already documents the correct defaults.
  - The missing-tool preflight is present (src/harness/harness.cpp:156-207).
  - The world-readable /tmp proxy file, base64url rejection, and
    cloud-session/model pre-verification are all fixed here.
  - --trials range checking is fixed (src/commands/cmd_bench.cpp:770-775).
  - The Windows DPAPI credential test no longer writes plaintext (0830713).

Rejected, with the reason: the review read package-rcli.sh:100's codesign call
as contradicting "no code signing in the pipeline". It does not -
sign_identity defaults to ad-hoc `-`, release.yml never sets
RCLI_CODESIGN_IDENTITY, and docs/RELEASING.md says the same. The original
claim stands.

Two new rows:

  RCLI-46  src/account/console.cpp builds JSON and URLs by hand, against this
           repository's own newly added contract-first network rule.
  RCLI-47  The loopback coding-harness proxies bind 127.0.0.1 but never
           authenticate the local caller. The Anthropic path issues a fixed,
           non-secret "rcli-local" token that is never checked, and the
           OpenAI-compatible proxy struct has no auth field at all.

Also corrected a stale line citation for --no-browser that pointed at
unrelated code after PR #60.

| `AGENTS.md` already documents the real defaults — API `https://inference.runanywhere.ai` via `RCLI_CONSOLE_URL`, approval page `https://console.runanywhere.ai` via `RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL` — matching `DefaultConsoleUrl()`. The earlier wrong default ("defaults to `http://localhost:8080`") was specific to PR #51's `d87502a` snapshot and is not present in this checkout. See RCLI-29 | VERIFIED — `AGENTS.md:112-115` vs `src/account/credentials.cpp:517-519`; old text at `git show d87502a:AGENTS.md:82-83` |
| **Merged to `main` in PR #60 (`6e2c144`) and present in this checkout; absent from every release**: splits the URL into `RCLI_CONSOLE_URL` (API) and `RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL` (approval page); `TrustedBrowserOrigins()` trusts an explicit `RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL` if set, else a hardcoded production allowlist, else the API origin itself for any other (dev) console | VERIFIED — `src/account/credentials.cpp:60-71,522-535` |
| **A dev deployment still needs `RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL` set explicitly** whenever its console and API are on different origins — there is no autodiscovery, even after the fix | VERIFIED — reading `TrustedBrowserOrigins()`'s fallback branch |
| **Even production's fix is a hardcoded allowlist, not a real solution**: the code lists the production console domain plus one other literal hostname the control plane currently hands out for the approval page, with a comment explaining the second entry should be deleted once the control plane returns the custom domain directly — "a one-line config change on the API side." The same comment records that, as measured on 2026-09-04, both hostnames currently serve the same deployment (matching `server`/`etag` headers) — today they are one deployment behind two names, not two independently-trusted origins | VERIFIED — code comment, `origin/main` `src/account/credentials.cpp:60-71` |

| RCLI-37 | Decide whether a Linux release ships, or update docs to stop implying it might | `AGENTS.md` calls Linux bottles "not a v1 merge blocker" (implying a later version), while `install.sh` deliberately fails closed on Linux today and no Linux CI job exists | CLI maintainer | L (if pursued) | Nothing today | repo: `AGENTS.md:177` vs `ci.yml` (no linux job), `install.sh` | See §5, ruling 4 |

| RCLI-41 | Make `wally whoami` show identity **and** the current month's spend, or stop advertising that it does | README describes `whoami` as showing "who you are, and what you have used this month" (`README.md:19`); `WhoAmI()` prints only email, session status, and console URL — PR #60 added `usage` as a separate command and never touched `WhoAmI()` at all | CLI maintainer | S | README accuracy; the whoami half of §1's ideal state | repo: `src/commands/cmd_account.cpp:259-292`; `README.md:19` | Open |

RunAnywhere hosted API HTTP 429 Retry-After documentation

💡 Result:

RunAnywhere's official documentation does not explicitly detail a specific "Retry-After" response policy for HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) statuses in its public-facing API references [1][2][3]. While the platform utilizes a hosted control plane for model delivery and configuration, its error handling architecture is primarily defined through structured protobuf-based error codes rather than standard HTTP-level rate-limiting headers [4][5]. Key insights into RunAnywhere's error handling: 1. Structured Error Reporting: The SDKs categorize errors using the SDKError protocol, which includes fields for code, category, and message [4][5]. Network-related errors are explicitly classified under ERROR_CATEGORY_NETWORK, and specific codes like ERROR_CODE_TIMEOUT exist for handling retriable operations [4]. 2. Internal Retry Mechanisms: The SDK internal IDL (interface description language) includes definitions for network-related retries, such as SDK_INIT_PHASE_RETRY_HTTP, which manages reconnection logic during initialization phases [6]. 3. Absence of Public Spec: As of July 2026, RunAnywhere has not published a public OpenAPI specification for its control plane API, meaning standardized HTTP rate-limiting behaviors (like the presence of a Retry-After header) are not documented for external consumers [1][2][3]. If you are encountering 429 errors, it is recommended to implement an exponential backoff strategy in your application layer, as the SDK documentation suggests managing network failures through category-based error handling rather than relying on automated HTTP header parsing [4].

Mark RCLI-45 as unverified or add an authoritative contract reference.

The repository has no Retry-After reference, and RunAnywhere’s public documentation does not define this HTTP 429 behavior. This conflicts with the checklist rule that unconfirmed claims must be removed or marked as open questions.

| **A hostname the console currently hands out for the approval page changes** | Sign-in should keep working through any purely infrastructural redeploy | Production trust is a **hardcoded two-string allowlist** (the custom console domain plus one other literal hostname). If that second hostname changes, production sign-in breaks until someone edits `credentials.cpp` and cuts a new release — this is present in this checkout, not just "on `origin/main`," and it is also not released yet. The code comment's own 2026-09-04 measurement is a mitigating fact for right now: both hostnames currently serve the same deployment, meaning they are one deployment behind two names today, not two independently-trusted origins — the risk is real but latent until that changes |

Qualify the allowlist failure with the environment override.

TrustedBrowserOrigins() accepts RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL when it is set, as documented at Lines [126]-[127]. A changed hostname breaks the default flow, but it does not require a source edit and new release when the operator supplies that override.

In `@docs/WALLY_LAUNCH_CHECKLIST.md` at line 282, Update the allowlist failure
description in the checklist to acknowledge that TrustedBrowserOrigins() accepts
the RCLI_CONSOLE_WEB_URL environment override. State that a changed hostname
breaks the default flow, while operators can avoid a source edit and new release
by supplying that override.
