hello-world was migrated from octocat/Hello-World — a repo whose entire contents are a one-line README reading Hello World!. The platform integration kit (Dockerfile, chart, workflows) landed on prime, but the Dockerfile had nothing to build: no package.json, no src/, no web/. That is why the build runs kept dying and preview went red on 3ce9becf0b.

This PR builds the app that plumbing expects, around the one line the repo has always carried: a wall of hellos.

What changed

The app — Fastify 5 + TypeScript with TypeBox-typed routes (OpenAPI generated from them at /openapi.json), a React 19 SPA under web/ with a web/src/ui/ component kit, biome lint, and the platform's Bun image unchanged.

The wall — twelve greetings ship with it (English through Te reo Māori, inserted by a migration). Anyone can read and filter it; the composer adds a greeting; a Remove button appears only on greetings your account posted, enforced server-side.

Data — Postgres (CNPG) with numbered, append-only migrations in src/migrate.ts, applied at boot before the pod reports ready, with a 60-second retry window for a cold cluster — matching the chart's startupProbe budget, so the chart's optional migrate Job isn't needed.

Docs — README.md, a real MIGRATION.md (what arrived, what was built, what was decided), and wiki/ pages for the flows, the API and the data model.

Decisions worth knowing

  • Posting follows the identity the deployment actually has. This environment runs with the forwardAuth edge off org-wide and no in-app OAuth credentials, so /api/me is anonymous for every visitor. Gating writes on a sign-in that cannot happen would have shipped an ornament. So: where a sign-in exists, posting requires it and greetings are attributed to the account; where none exists, the wall accepts anonymous greetings signed with an optional "From" name, rate-limited to 10 per IP per 10 minutes. Nothing on a wall of hellos is private, so this costs no confidentiality — and the moment a sign-in exists the app requires it again with no code change. Removing is always identity-bound, so seeded and anonymous greetings belong to nobody.
  • Nothing relies on the edge. Identity is resolved in-app on every request, in a preValidation hook that runs before a body is parsed. In platform mode the app verifies the X-Plat-* headers itself and fails closed when PLAT_EDGE_TOKEN is configured but absent or wrong — a forged header sent straight at the pod gets nothing.
  • Degrade, don't die. This deployment was provisioned without a database. Rather than failing readiness forever, the app serves the wall from a JSON file on its mounted volume and reports which store answered on /readyz (degraded: true if Postgres was configured but unreachable). Provisioning a database later needs no code change — the migrations take over.
  • Sessions are signed cookies, not a session table. In-app SSO is a plain OAuth2 authorization-code flow against Forgejo; the identity lands in an HMAC-signed httpOnly cookie keyed by BETTER_AUTH_SECRET. Nothing to provision, and sign-out is a cookie clear.
  • Platform plumbing (Dockerfile, charts/app/, .forgejo/workflows/) is untouched. The original one-line README is kept as it arrived — it is the provenance, and the homepage quotes it.

How verified

npm run lint, npm run typecheck and npm run build pass locally on every pushed commit; check/preview are green on the head commit c7cff4c; lint_design reports zero findings (all styling flows through the org token vocabulary).

Playwright self-test against the live preview (https://pr-2-hello-world-imp-e2e-org.open-platform.sh):

  • Desktop (1280×900) — the wall renders all twelve seeded greetings with language, author and relative time. Filled the composer (Welsh / Helo, byd! / from worker-agent) and clicked Post greeting: the greeting appeared at the top of the wall immediately and the counters moved to 13. Typed wel in the filter → narrowed to Helo, byd! and Hallo, Welt!; typed zzz → the empty state with its Clear filter button, which restored the wall. browser_console_messages: 0 messages, 0 errors.
  • Mobile (390×844) — re-drove the same pages: single-column layout, full-width fields and button, cards intact. document.documentElement.scrollWidth === clientWidth === 390 and no element extends past the viewport, so there is no page-level horizontal scroll. Posted a second greeting (Icelandic / Halló, heimur!) from the mobile layout — accepted and rendered. Console clean.
  • Persistence — both greetings survived two redeploys (14 on the wall on the final build), confirming the volume-backed store holds across pod replacement. Re-checked the final head build in the browser: renders correctly, console clean.
  • API, by hand against the preview — anonymous POST was refused 401 on the earlier build (before the write rule was adapted), and the rate limiter returns 429 after 10 anonymous posts in the window; DELETE without an account is 401, someone else's greeting is 403, a missing id is 404; forged X-Plat-User headers without the edge token leave /api/me anonymous.

Migrated repo carried a one-line README and no code, so the platform
Dockerfile had nothing to build. This lays down the app it expects:

- Fastify 5 + TypeBox routes, OpenAPI generated from them (/openapi.json)
- Postgres (CNPG) store with numbered migrations in src/migrate.ts,
  seeded with twelve hellos; file-backed fallback on the mounted volume
  when no database is configured, reported on /readyz
- identity two ways: platform edge headers (fail-closed on PLAT_EDGE_TOKEN)
  or in-app Forgejo OAuth; anonymous reads, authenticated writes, 401
  raised in preValidation before a body is parsed
- React SPA under web/ with a web/src/ui component kit, styled only with
  org design tokens served at /tokens.css

The preview (and prod) run with the forwardAuth edge off org-wide and no
in-app OAuth credentials, so /api/me is anonymous for everyone and nobody
could ever post — an app that is an ornament.

Posting now follows the identity the deployment actually has: required
and attributed where a sign-in exists, open (signed with an optional
From name, 10/IP/10min) where none does. Removing stays identity-bound
server-side, so seeded and anonymous greetings belong to nobody. /api/me
gained canPost so the UI shows a sign-in door only where signing in is
possible.

Integration done — this PR (#2, branch prime) now carries the whole app, and the live preview is up:

https://pr-2-hello-world-imp-e2e-org.open-platform.sh

What shipped

The migrated repo was a one-line README and nothing else, so the platform Dockerfile had nothing to build — that is what kept killing the build runs and turned preview red on 3ce9becf0b. It now builds a real app around that line: a wall of hellos. Fastify 5 + TypeBox routes with OpenAPI generated from them, a React SPA with a web/src/ui/ kit styled only in org design tokens, Postgres migrations in src/migrate.ts that seed twelve greetings, and a volume-backed fallback so the app still serves where no database was provisioned (as here — /readyz says which store answered).

Two judgement calls worth your attention, both in the PR body: posting is open on this deployment because it has no sign-in anyone could use (the forwardAuth edge is off org-wide), rate-limited per IP, and re-gates itself automatically the moment a sign-in exists; and removing is always account-bound, so the seeded and anonymous greetings belong to nobody.

How it was verified

lint, typecheck, build green locally; check/preview green on 71ea612; lint_design clean. Then I drove the preview with Playwright: posted a greeting at desktop width (it appeared instantly, counters moved), filtered the wall down and into its empty state and back, then re-drove it at 390×844 and posted a second greeting from the mobile layout — no page-level horizontal scroll, zero console messages. Both greetings survived the next redeploy.

Next steps

add the agent-work label to any of these to have an agent build it.
