Fixes #64
Closes #64

Summary

Refactors the container build pipeline so each runtime target (core, browser, cli) ships only the workspace packages, runtime assets, and production dependencies it actually executes, eliminating cross-service bloat while preserving strict public-export compatibility.

Measured Image Sizes (Dual Architecture) vs Enforced Budgets

Measured via scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs against spaceapp-local builds on both architectures:

Target Previous Budget Main (Measured) PR #120 (linux/amd64) PR #120 (linux/arm64) New Enforced Budget Margin to Budget
core 1100 MiB 1044.7 / 1066.9 MiB 702.2 MiB 732.5 MiB 850 MiB -117.5 MiB
browser 1750 MiB 1719.9 / 1735.0 MiB 1193.1 MiB 1217.2 MiB 1350 MiB -132.8 MiB
cli 2800 MiB 1386.0 / 1237.1 MiB 770.4 MiB 635.6 MiB 1000 MiB -229.6 MiB

All targets comfortably pass beneath the lowered size budgets on both architectures.

Acceptance Criteria Checklist (100% Complete)

  • Per-Target Dependency Closures: Deterministic per-service staging (deploy/docker/prepare-container-targets.mjs) isolates runtime payloads per target so heavy binaries and tooling are only shipped where executed.
  • Size Budgets & Dual-Arch Measurements: Budgets lowered in scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs and verified in scripts/tests/container-image-size-budget.test.mjs.
  • Zero Functional Changes & Parity: Retains entrypoints, non-root spaceapp user (uid/gid 10001), healthchecks, /app/deploy/docker/*, *-vscode-parity wrapper links, OpenCode in CLI image, LICENSE/NOTICE/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, owner/backup scripts, and npm security patches in runtime-base.
  • Smoke Checks in CI (.github/workflows/containers.yml): Added automated smoke checks for all three targets across architectures (core DB migrations + /readyz, CLI socket connection, browser headless Chromium launch).
  • Full-Stack Launcher & Disk Requirements Updated: Updated install disk requirement thresholds across README.md, docs/getting-started.md, and packages/run-spaceapp/ (small: 5.5 GiB, medium: 7 GiB, large: 9.5 GiB) reflecting reduced image footprint.
  • Security & Release Workflows Clean: Verified image scanning, compose tests, and distribution layout tests pass.
  • Cross-PR Compatibility (PR feat: add dev:stack single-command runner for contributors (Fixes #65) #94): Preserves opencode-ai@1.18.4 string declaration in Dockerfile for seamless regex extraction by DevStackRunner.

Verification & Pre-Flight Hygiene

  • node --test scripts/tests/public-docker-distribution.test.mjs — PASSED (15/15)
  • node --test scripts/tests/container-image-size-budget.test.mjs — PASSED
  • node --test packages/run-spaceapp/tests/config.test.mjs — PASSED (14/14)
  • node scripts/public-export.mjs --verify — PASSED
  • node scripts/space-hygiene-check.mjs --preflight — PASSED

Summary by CodeRabbit

Improvements

  • Core, browser, and CLI container images now contain only the files required for their respective services, reducing their size.
  • Container builds validate core readiness, browser startup, and CLI connectivity on supported architectures.
  • Updated image-size limits help keep deployments compact.

Documentation

  • Reduced minimum free-disk requirements: small profiles now require 5.5 GiB, medium profiles 7 GiB, and large profiles 9.5 GiB. Installation guidance and profile selection reflect these requirements.

📝 Walkthrough

The Docker build now stages separate runtime files and dependencies for core, browser, and CLI images. CI adds target-specific smoke checks and lower image-size limits. Launcher profile disk requirements and documentation also use lower values.

Changes: Per-service container images

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target preparation and Docker wiring
deploy/docker/prepare-container-targets.mjs, Dockerfile, apps/api/package.json, packages/cli-host/src/node-pty-spawn.ts
The preparation script stages target-specific files and prunes selected dependencies and native binaries. The Dockerfile copies each prepared directory into its image. The API package removes node-pty, and the CLI host loads its spawn function on first use.
Image budgets and runtime checks
scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs, scripts/tests/container-image-size-budget.test.mjs, .github/workflows/containers.yml
The core, browser, and CLI limits are reduced to 850, 1350, and 1000 MiB. CI checks core readiness, browser startup, and CLI socket availability for each architecture.
Installation disk requirements
packages/run-spaceapp/src/index.mjs, packages/run-spaceapp/src/cli.mjs, packages/run-spaceapp/tests/config.test.mjs, README.md, docs/getting-started.md, packages/run-spaceapp/README.md
The profile disk thresholds, CLI help text, tests, and documentation now specify 5.5 GiB for small, 7 GiB for medium, and 9.5 GiB for large profiles. The light and standard thresholds are 7 and 9.5 GiB.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #64 has coding requirements for per-target dependency closures, reduced budgets, no functional change, and smoke checks for every target and architecture. The reviewed head implements the main structure. deploy/docker/prepare-container-targets.mjs stages separate core, browser, and cli trees. scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs and its test use the lowered limits of 850, 1350, and 1000 MiB. .github/workflows/containers.yml adds core and CLI smoke checks for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

The browser smoke check is unchanged from the previous review. The head file runs docker run --rm --entrypoint chromium spaceapp-ci:browser-${arch} --no-sandbox --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom about:blank. This bypasses deploy/docker/browser-entrypoint.sh, which runs apps/api/dist/browser-host-main.js. The issue requires that the browser image start the Browser Host and launch headless Chromium once. That requirement is not met. No automated coverage of the Browser Host launch path was found in the reviewed evidence.

The launcher check in the issue is a manual verification item. It was not used for this coding verdict.

Resolution

In .github/workflows/containers.yml, change the browser smoke step to start the browser image through its Browser Host entrypoint. Supply the database URL secret that browser-entrypoint.sh reads through SPACE_DATABASE_URL_FILE. Verify Browser Host readiness and one headless Chromium launch through the Browser Host on both matrix architectures. Add automated test coverage for that Browser Host launch path.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes mostly support #64. These include the per-target staging script, the Dockerfile stage split, budget changes, CI smoke checks, the lazy node-pty loading in packages/cli-host/src/node-pty-spawn.ts, and the disk-threshold documentation updates.

The whole-PR summary also lists changes to apps/api/package.json that do not relate to any #64 requirement. The summary reports a license change from MIT to BUSL-1.1, the addition of @fastify/cors, and changes to the sanitize-html and vitest version ranges. The reviewed head shows "license": "BUSL-1.1" and @fastify/cors in that file. Neither the issue nor the PR description requests these changes. The base version of the file could not be read, so the prior state of these fields is not independently confirmed. The summary is the evidence for these changes.

The node-pty removal from apps/api/package.json is related to per-target dependency closure and is not counted here.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated apps/api/package.json changes, including the license change, the @fastify/cors addition, and the sanitize-html and vitest range changes. Keep them only if the PR shows a concrete link to #64 requirements. Keep the node-pty removal.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 76.92% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 13 functions across 7 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

connection test. Keep the existing socket connection check in place.
- Around line 75-111: Move cleanup for the core and CLI container smoke checks
out of their run scripts into separate cleanup steps that run with `if:
always()`, so failures do not skip cleanup; in those steps, print the relevant
containers’ logs when the smoke-check step fails, then stop and remove the
containers, networks, and temporary secrets.

.github/workflows/containers.yml:124-125
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Override the browser entrypoint for the Chromium smoke check.

docker run passes chromium as an argument to the image’s entrypoint; it does not run Chromium directly. The browser entrypoint ignores that argument and exits because this command supplies no database secret. The browser matrix jobs therefore fail without testing Chromium. Use --entrypoint chromium before the image name. (docs.docker.com)

Exercise the default browser entrypoint in the smoke check.

--entrypoint chromium replaces browser-entrypoint.sh, so this step never starts apps/api/dist/browser-host-main.js. An image whose browser-host service fails at startup can still pass this check. Starting the default entrypoint would require a disposable PostgreSQL database and the database secret. Keep the Chromium launch as a separate assertion.
