HWLAB Deployment And Publish Reference

This reference records the stable DEV publish and rollout rules. It does not authorize PROD, service restarts outside the documented DEV path, secret reads, or direct pushes to main.

It is also the long-term reference for pikasTech/HWLAB#116: service deployment regularization must progress from stable docs, to controlled CLI/script entrypoints, to UniDesk CI/CD plus imageized delivery.

Workspaces

Purpose Path
Runner and commander worktree /workspace/hwlab
D601 publish/build worktree /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab

Use /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab for D601 build and rollout operations. Do not treat /home/ubuntu/hwlab or other runner worktrees as the publishing truth.

Regularization Stages

Stage Current HWLAB state Required next behavior
1. Long-term reference This file records DEV deployment, Cloud Web publish, API/edge/health, frp, D601 registry, k3s rollout, rollback, and verification rules. AGENTS.md indexes it. Keep process issues as sources only; update this reference when a deployment rule changes.
2. CLI or controlled scripts scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs is the only formal DEV CD side-effect entrypoint for publish, desired-state refresh, apply, and live verify. Other controlled scripts still cover contract planning, dry-run planning, preflight, single-step internals, k3s read-only visibility, and Cloud Web checks. Rollback is documented as commands/report hints but is not yet one unified CLI command. Converge check, plan, rollback, status, and verify into HWLAB CLI while preserving the single transaction lock for side effects backed by deploy/deploy.json.
3. UniDesk CI/CD plus images DEV services are imageized and published to the D601 registry. D601 rollout still includes manual bridge steps for Cloud Web and frp/k3s execution. Move build, publish, desired-state refresh, rollout, post-deploy validation, and report upload into standard UniDesk CI/CD jobs without replacing HWLAB runtime.

DEV CD Transaction

The stable DEV CD side-effect command is:

node scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report

This command is the only formal path that may publish DEV artifacts, refresh desired-state from the publish report, apply to hwlab-dev, and verify public 16666/16667 in one run. It reads deploy/deploy.json at transaction start, records the manifest hash and target commit, acquires Lease/hwlab-dev/hwlab-dev-cd-lock, runs the internal steps serially, writes reports/dev-gate/dev-cd-apply.json, and releases the Lease.

The Lease is a deployment-plane mutex, not a desired-state source. Its annotations record at least promotionCommit, deployJsonHash, ownerTaskId, transactionId, phase, startedAt, updatedAt, ttlSeconds, liveBefore, and targetNamespace. deploy/deploy.json, deploy/artifact-catalog.dev.json, and deploy/k8s/base/workloads.yaml remain the only authoritative deploy inputs.

If another transaction holds the Lease, the command must stop before publish or apply with structured deploy-lock-held output that includes holder, promotion commit, phase, target namespace, and retry seconds. Expired locks are not silently overwritten; taking over a stale lock requires both --break-stale-lock and --confirm-dev, and the previous holder is retained in audit annotations/report fields.

scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs also owns the read-only status surface. Running it without arguments, with --status, or with --dry-run must return compact JSON for the target ref, deploy/deploy.json, current Lease, and public 16666/16667 live health. These modes must not acquire the Lease, publish artifacts, apply Kubernetes workloads, or write reports. Normal --apply stdout is also compact by default; the complete transaction record is preserved through --write-report, or printed only when --full-output is explicit.

When the current DEV apply must be stopped, the operator may use --force-interrupt-lock together with --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production. This is a DEV-only takeover path: it first tries to send TERM to local scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs --apply processes, then replaces the Lease holder and records the interrupted holder and interrupt attempt in Lease annotations and the transaction report. Do not use this flag for ordinary contention; prefer waiting for the holder or breaking only a confirmed stale lock.

The old side-effect commands are now internal transaction steps. Direct manual use of scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish or scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs --apply without HWLAB_CD_TRANSACTION_ID is rejected with cd-transaction-required; preflight, build, dry-run, check, and read-only modes remain available.

Artifact Publish

DEV artifacts publish to the D601 local/internal registry:

127.0.0.1:5000/hwlab/*

The single-step publish command is a transaction-internal side-effect step:

node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish

It only runs in side-effect mode when HWLAB_CD_TRANSACTION_ID is set by scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs. Use node scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report for normal DEV CD.

For Cloud Web source freshness before the transaction:

node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/check.mjs
node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/build.mjs
node scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report

Cloud Web must build web/hwlab-cloud-web/dist before publish because the runtime wrapper serves dist before source files. A correct source commit with stale dist can still publish an old UI. The build/check pair is part of the publish contract, but with separate responsibilities: check.mjs validates source and does not require ignored dist/ in a clean checkout. build.mjs regenerates dist and verifies every runtime file and route alias matches source. scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs runs that build/freshness gate and records the distFreshness result before it builds the image.

After a successful multi-service publish, refresh the artifact catalog from the publish report:

node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --publish-report reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json
node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check

If publish is blocked, keep the report blocked rather than inventing digests:

node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --blocked
node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check

The desired-state files are a single deployment truth: deploy/deploy.json, deploy/artifact-catalog.dev.json, and deploy/k8s/base/workloads.yaml must carry the same promotion commit and immutable image tag before they are used as apply input. A --target-ref desired-state plan may report a uniform older state as promotion_pending; PR review and CI/CD promotion gates must use --target-ref origin/main --check or --promotion-commit <sha> --check so stale or partially refreshed commit, image, workload, and mirror-env fields are blocked before any DEV apply. Reports under reports/ are evidence snapshots only and cannot override this desired-state contract.

Latest-Main Artifact/Runtime Guard

Before any controlled DEV apply for latest origin/main, run the read-only artifact/runtime guard:

node scripts/artifact-runtime-readiness-guard.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check --no-report

When current readiness is expected to be blocked, use:

node scripts/artifact-runtime-readiness-guard.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check --no-report --expect-blocked

The guard compares target main, reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json, deploy/artifact-catalog.dev.json, the desired-state planner, Cloud API /health/live, and Cloud Web :16666/health/live. It is report-only and must not be used as an apply command. A local source check, static workbench smoke, or stale report snapshot cannot claim latest-main deployment unless the guard's runtime and artifact identity checks also pass.

API, Edge, Health, And FRP

The public route is fixed:

Surface Current entry
Cloud Web http://74.48.78.17:16666/
Cloud Web live health http://74.48.78.17:16666/health/live
API/edge health http://74.48.78.17:16667/health
API/live health http://74.48.78.17:16667/health/live

FRP maps master public 16666/16667 to D601 hwlab-dev services. Use deploy/deploy.json as the source for endpoint and FRP drift checks:

node scripts/deploy-contract-plan.mjs --check

Do not reintroduce public 6666/6667 as active DEV endpoints. Internal k3s services may still use internal 6667.

Cloud Web Manual DEV Rollout

This section is retained as historical operational baseline for what the transaction reproduces. New DEV side effects should use scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs; do not bypass the Lease with ad hoc publish, kubectl set image, or restart commands.

The DEV CD transaction owns the durable runtime support sequence before final live postflight:

node scripts/dev-runtime-provisioning.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report
node scripts/dev-runtime-migration.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report
node scripts/dev-runtime-postflight.mjs --live --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --target api --write-report

These commands are called by scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs under the transaction Lease. Runners without explicit rollout authorization may run the source-only --check variants and prepare PRs/artifacts, but must leave DEV apply, rollout, live verification, and lock ownership to the host commander.

The previous verified manual path for hwlab-cloud-web was:

cd /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab
git pull --ff-only origin main
node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/build.mjs
node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish --services hwlab-cloud-web
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev set image deployment/hwlab-cloud-web hwlab-cloud-web=127.0.0.1:5000/hwlab/hwlab-cloud-web:<tag>
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout status deployment/hwlab-cloud-web --timeout=180s

That historical sequence is no longer the normal side-effect path; direct --publish is rejected unless it is called by the transaction.

The rollout must use D601 native k3s:

KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev get deploy hwlab-cloud-web -o wide

The rollout report must tie the live deployment back to artifact identity: source commit, image tag, image reference, registry digest or not_published, and Kubernetes rollout revision. scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs reports this under devDeployApply.cloudWebRollout when read-only Deployment access exists; without that access, it reports the blocker and the exact read/rollout commands instead of claiming a live rollout.

Public verification must check the browser entry on 16666, not legacy ports:

curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/health/live
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/ | sed -n '1,80p'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/styles.css | rg 'overflow: hidden|100dvh'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/help.md | sed -n '1,40p'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16667/health/live

Cloud Workbench acceptance also expects Chinese default UI, no outer page scroll, and an internal Markdown help surface. The frontend contract is cloud-workbench.md.

Apply Boundary

scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs is the DEV-only apply/report backend. A real apply requires the transaction environment created by scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs plus explicit non-production flags:

node scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report

Direct manual --apply calls without HWLAB_CD_TRANSACTION_ID return cd-transaction-required. The apply path must stop before mutation when artifact evidence, registry digests, kube access, DEV health, or required runtime readiness are missing. It must not read secret values or target PROD.

Suspended template Jobs are immutable in spec.template. Only the explicit DEV allowlist may be replaced by the apply script:

  • hwlab-agent-worker-template
  • hwlab-cli-template

Rollback Boundary

Rollback remains DEV-only and must be explicit. Capture current image state before changing a workload:

KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev get deploy hwlab-cloud-web -o wide
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout history deployment/hwlab-cloud-web

For a Deployment rolled by set image, use Kubernetes rollout undo only for the same DEV Deployment:

KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout undo deployment/hwlab-cloud-web
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout status deployment/hwlab-cloud-web --timeout=180s

After rollback, repeat public verification on 16666 and 16667. Do not use rollback to change PROD, read secrets, restart unrelated services, or conceal an artifact/report mismatch.

Controlled Entrypoint Design

The #116 target is a single controlled deployment surface. Until that lands, use the repo-owned scripts below instead of ad hoc shell fragments.

Action Current controlled entrypoint Gap to close
Check deployment contract and FRP/endpoint drift node scripts/deploy-contract-plan.mjs --check Fold into hwlab deploy check --env dev.
Plan desired image/workload state node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --plan --pretty and node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --promotion-commit <sha> --check Fold into hwlab deploy plan --env dev --file deploy/deploy.json with a promotion commit gate.
Preflight artifact publish node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --preflight Keep as backend for hwlab artifact publish --preflight.
Publish/apply/verify DEV node scripts/dev-cd-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report Keep as the single side-effect transaction and run from repo-owned DEV CI/CD.
Publish DEV images node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish inside HWLAB_CD_TRANSACTION_ID Internal step only; direct side-effect calls are rejected.
Refresh catalog/desired state node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --publish-report reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json Internal transaction step after publish; read/write desired-state only from repo files.
Apply DEV rollout node scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report inside HWLAB_CD_TRANSACTION_ID Internal transaction step; direct side-effect calls are rejected.
Roll back DEV Deployment kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout undo deployment/<name> with explicit D601 kubeconfig Add hwlab deploy rollback --env dev --service <id> --to-revision <n>.
Verify status curl checks plus node scripts/d601-k3s-readonly-observability.mjs Add hwlab deploy verify --env dev --write-report.

Automation Direction

The stable direction from pikasTech/HWLAB#61 and pikasTech/HWLAB#116 is to converge manual operations into CLI plus deploy/deploy.json, then run that surface from UniDesk CI/CD:

  • render and verify frps/frpc from the deploy manifest;
  • publish images and write digest reports;
  • refresh catalog/workload desired state from the publish report;
  • apply DEV with immutable Job replacement policy;
  • verify 16666 Cloud Web and 16667/health/live API;
  • invalidate or regenerate active reports after endpoint or artifact changes.

UniDesk CI/CD is infrastructure only. It may schedule build/publish/deploy jobs and store artifacts, but it must not replace hwlab-cloud-api, hwlab-cloud-web, hwlab-router, hwlab-patch-panel, simulators, gateways, or agent services as the runtime being validated.
