This is the unblock for the wizard hang. Both endpoints used to run
docker compose synchronously inside the HTTP handler -- on master
(unihost) or via asyncio.gather of worker /deploy POSTs at 600s
timeout each (swarm) -- blocking every other API request.
New flow:
1. Commit the new config shape to repo state (fast).
2. Create one DeckyLifecycle row per decky (status=pending).
3. Spawn asyncio.create_task(run_deploy / run_mutate) -- the
lifecycle runner drives rows through running -> succeeded|failed
and emits decky.<name>.lifecycle on the bus.
4. Return 202 with {lifecycle_ids: [...]}. Wizard polls
GET /deckies/lifecycle?ids=... (next commit).
mutator/engine.py gains pick_new_services() -- shared between the
async API path and the watch-loop's synchronous mutate_decky().
DeployResponse grows lifecycle_ids[]. The old dispatch_decnet_config
helper still exists for the CLI swarm-deploy command path; it just
isn't called from the API handler anymore.
Test changes: 200 -> 202, drop dispatch_decnet_config mocks (handler
no longer calls it), assert lifecycle_ids in response + committed
state matches expectations.
- Implement /mutate handler: load_state, update services + last_mutated,
save_state, write_compose, compose up -d via asyncio.to_thread. 404
for missing state / unknown decky_id. dry_run short-circuits before
any side effect.
- Add AgentClient.mutate(decky_id, services, *, dry_run=False) using
_TIMEOUT_DEPLOY (compose up can pull/build, exceeds control timeout).
- mutator/engine.py: in swarm mode with decky.host_uuid set, resolve
worker via _resolve_swarm_host and dispatch through AgentClient.mutate
instead of writing a compose file on master. Master-resident deckies
(unihost mode, or swarm with host_uuid=None) keep the local path.
Replace repo: BaseRepository with a structural TopologyRepository protocol
in persistence.py and allocator.py. All read methods now return typed DTOs
(TopologySummary, LANRow, DeckyRow, EdgeRow) instead of raw dicts, eliminating
silent field-shape regressions across the topology subsystem.
TopologySummary gains email_personas and language_default so api_personas.py
can continue reading those fields via attribute access. hydrate() converts
DTOs to dicts before passing to _backfill_decky_configs, keeping the mutable
working-state function dict-based at its boundary. All production callers
(router handlers, mutator, CLI, heartbeat) migrated from dict/get access to
attribute access. 134 tests pass.
