RobbStarkAustria 0cd0d95612 feat: remote commands, systemd units, process observability, broker auth split
- Command intake (reboot/shutdown) on infoscreen/{uuid}/commands with ack lifecycle
- MQTT_USER/MQTT_PASSWORD_BROKER split from identity vars; configure_mqtt_security() updated
- infoscreen-simclient.service: Type=notify, WatchdogSec=60, Restart=on-failure
- infoscreen-notify-failure@.service + script: retained MQTT alert when systemd gives up (Gap 3)
- _sd_notify() watchdog keepalive in simclient main loop (Gap 1)
- broker_connection block in health payload: reconnect_count, last_disconnect_at (Gap 2)
- COMMAND_MOCK_REBOOT_IMMEDIATE_COMPLETE canary flag with safety guard
- SERVER_TEAM_ACTIONS.md: server-side integration action items
- Docs: README, CHANGELOG, src/README, copilot-instructions updated
- 43 tests passing

Reboot Reliability Kickoff Summary

Objective

Ship a reliable, observable restart and shutdown workflow for Raspberry Pi 5 clients, with safe escalation and clear operator outcomes.

What Is Included

  1. Asynchronous command lifecycle with idempotent command_id handling.
  2. Monitoring-first state visibility from queued to terminal outcomes.
  3. Client acknowledgements for accepted, execution_started, completed, and failed.
  4. Pi 5 USB-SATA SSD timeout baseline and tuning rules.
  5. Capability-tier recovery with optional managed PoE escalation.

What Is Not Included

  1. Full maintenance module in client-management.
  2. Required managed power-switch integration.
  3. Production Wake-on-LAN rollout.

Team Split

  1. Platform team: API command lifecycle, safety controls, listener ack ingestion.
  2. Web team: lifecycle-aware UX and command status display.
  3. Client team: strict validation, dedupe, ack sequence, secure execution helper, reboot continuity.

Ownership Matrix

Team Primary Plan File Main Deliverables
Platform team implementation-plans/reboot-implementation-handoff-share.md Command lifecycle backend, policy enforcement, listener ack mapping, safety lockout and escalation
Web team implementation-plans/reboot-implementation-handoff-share.md Lifecycle UI states, bulk safety UX, capability visibility, command status polling
Client team implementation-plans/reboot-implementation-handoff-client-team.md Command validation, dedupe persistence, ack sequence, secure execution helper, reboot continuity
Project coordination implementation-plans/reboot-kickoff-summary.md Phase sequencing, canary gates, rollback thresholds, cross-team sign-off tracking

Baseline Operational Defaults

  1. Safety lockout: 3 reboot commands per client in rolling 15 minutes.
  2. Escalation cooldown: 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect target on Pi 5 SSD: 90 seconds baseline, 150 seconds cold-boot ceiling.
  4. Rollback canary trigger: failed plus timed_out above 5 percent.

Frozen Contract Snapshot

  1. Canonical command topic: infoscreen/{client_uuid}/commands.
  2. Canonical ack topic: infoscreen/{client_uuid}/commands/ack.
  3. Transitional compatibility topics during migration:
  • infoscreen/{client_uuid}/command
  • infoscreen/{client_uuid}/command/ack
  1. Command schema version: 1.0.
  2. Allowed command actions: reboot_host, shutdown_host.
  3. Allowed ack status values: accepted, execution_started, completed, failed.
  4. Validation snippets:
  • implementation-plans/reboot-command-payload-schemas.md
  • implementation-plans/reboot-command-payload-schemas.json

Immediate Next Steps

  1. Continue implementation in parallel by team against frozen contract.
  2. Client team validates dedupe and expiry handling on canonical topics.
  3. Platform team verifies ack-state transitions for accepted, execution_started, completed, failed.
  4. Execute one-group canary and validate timing plus failure drills.
