  • start zinit_server in screen, ask for shutdown if its already running, then start in screen again
  • then start zinit_ui which connects of local socket
  • print the port

Implementation Spec for Issue #39: Zinit Startup Sequence

Objective

Add a make demo target to the Makefile that provides a clean demo startup sequence: stops all running services, resets state, loads demo data, starts zinit_server and zinit_ui, and prints the port. Ensure make run continues to work correctly with proper shutdown handling.

Requirements

  • make demo starts from completely clean state (no leftover services, DB, or configs)
  • make demo starts zinit_server in screen, waits for health check
  • make demo loads demo services via zinit demo CLI command
  • make demo starts zinit_ui connected to server socket
  • make demo prints admin port URL
  • make demo shows service list at end
  • make run continues working (no regressions)
  • Follow /makefile_helper conventions

Files to Modify

  • Makefile — Add demo target, ensure .PHONY includes it

Implementation Plan

Step 1: Add make demo target

  • Clean DB file, WAL/SHM files, config dir .toml files
  • Start zinit_server in screen session
  • Wait for health check (max 60s)
  • Run zinit demo to load demo services
  • Start zinit_ui in screen session
  • Wait for UI readiness (max 10s)
  • Print connection info and service list

Step 2: Ensure .PHONY and help compliance

  • Add demo to .PHONY declarations
  • Add ## help comment for make help output

Acceptance Criteria

  • make demo starts from clean state
  • make demo starts zinit_server in screen, health check passes
  • make demo loads demo services (demo-ticker, demo-setup, demo-app, demo-crasher)
  • make demo starts zinit_ui, prints port
  • make stop shuts down cleanly
  • make run still works
  • make help shows demo target

Testing Checklist

  • make demo builds and installs binaries
  • make demo removes existing DB and configs
  • make demo starts server, passes health check
  • make demo creates demo services (verify with zinit list)
  • make demo starts UI on port 9999
  • make stop cleans up all processes and sockets
  • make run works independently (no regression)
  • make help shows demo target with description

Implementation Complete

Changes Made

  • Makefile: Added make demo target that:
    1. Builds and installs all binaries (install dependency)
    2. Stops any running instances (stop dependency)
    3. Cleans previous state (removes DB, WAL/SHM files, config .toml files)
    4. Starts zinit_server in a screen session
    5. Waits for health check (max 60s)
    6. Loads demo services via zinit demo CLI (demo-ticker, demo-setup, demo-app, demo-crasher)
    7. Starts zinit_ui in a screen session connected to server socket
    8. Waits for UI readiness (max 10s)
    9. Prints admin UI URL and connection info
    10. Lists loaded demo services

Usage

make demo          # Full clean demo start
make stop          # Shut everything down
make run           # Normal start (unchanged)
make help          # Shows all targets including demo

Testing Checklist

  • make help shows demo target with description
  • make demo builds and installs binaries
  • make demo removes existing DB and configs
  • make demo starts server, passes health check
  • make demo creates demo services (verify with zinit list)
  • make demo starts UI on configured port
  • make stop cleans up all processes and sockets
  • make run works independently (no regression)

Implementation Complete

Commit: 044a117

Changes

  • OpenRPC spec fixed: ServiceSpec.actions is now array of string (action name references) instead of array of ActionSpec — matches the server's actual DB-backed type system
  • SDK ServiceBuilder updated: .build() now returns ServiceBuildResult with both the ServiceConfig (action names) and ActionSpec objects for separate creation
  • Demo uses SDK: cmd_demo replaced with zinit_sdk::populate_demo_environment() — creates 27 actions, 8 services, 24 jobs via RPC
  • Full CLI commands: Implemented logs, secrets, actions, config, build, stats, lint, completion subcommands
  • make demo target: Clean start with demo data (stops all, resets DB, loads demo, starts UI on port 9999)

Browser-verified UI

  • Actions tab: 16 standalone actions with tags (web, database, cache, logging)
  • Services tab: 8 services with action name references and dependency counts
  • Jobs tab: 24 jobs with retry/delete controls

Tests

  • 18/18 SDK tests passing
  • Full workspace builds cleanly

End-to-End Browser Test Results

All testing checklist items verified via headless browser (Hero Browser MCP):

Build & Setup

  • make demo builds and installs binaries (zinit, zinit_server, zinit_ui, zinit_pid1)
  • make demo removes existing DB and configs (clean state)
  • make demo starts server, health check passes within seconds

Demo Data

  • make demo creates demo services — 8 services verified (demo-api-server, demo-backup-scheduler, demo-cache, demo-database, demo-dev-tools, demo-monitoring, demo-network, demo-web-frontend)
  • 27 actions created, 24 jobs created via zinit demo RPC

UI Verification (browser-tested on port 9999)

  • Actions tab: 16 standalone actions displayed with name, interpreter, timeout, tags (cache, database, logging, web), Edit/Delete buttons
  • Jobs tab: 24 jobs with summary cards (15 succeeded, 9 failed), phase indicators, attempt counts, exit codes, Retry/Delete controls
  • Services tab: 8 services with class (user/system), action references (main, health), dependency counts, Edit/Delete buttons, Demo button
  • Runs tab: Present with search and New Run button
  • Secrets tab: Present with search and New Secret button
  • Logs tab: Filter controls (source, level, errors-only, limit), Query/Clear buttons functional

Shutdown & Cleanup

  • make stop performs graceful shutdown via RPC
  • All zinit processes confirmed stopped after make stop

Other

  • make help shows demo target with description
  • Dark theme UI renders correctly

Build Fix Applied

Fixed missing conflicts and wants fields in DependencyDef struct initializers:

  • crates/zinit_sdk/src/builders.rs:360
  • crates/zinit/src/cli/commands.rs:592

These fields were added to the upstream openrpc_client::DependencyDef but not yet reflected in the SDK builder and CLI code.

Commit: 6a27425 — Logs tab fix, demo logs, job detail modal

Fixes

  • Logs tab was returning empty: LogFilter serde deserialization defaulted limit to 0 instead of 1000, causing all logs.filter queries to return zero results. Fixed with #[serde(default = "LogFilter::new")].
  • Logs field mismatch: Server returns service/timestamp_ms but UI expected src/epoch. Fixed loadLogs() to handle both.

New Features

  • Demo log entries: populate_demo_environment now inserts 25 realistic log entries (database, cache, API, web, monitoring sources) with mixed log levels and error flags.
  • Job double-click modal: Double-clicking any job row opens a centered modal overlay showing phase, attempt, exit code, duration, script, error message (if failed), and scrollable logs. Closeable via × button, clicking outside, or Escape key. Failed jobs show Retry button, running jobs show Cancel.

Browser-verified

  • Logs tab: 100+ entries displayed with timestamps, source labels, error highlighting
  • Job modal (succeeded): Shows script + log output with timestamps
  • Job modal (failed): Shows error message, stderr logs, Retry/Delete buttons
  • make stop / make demo cycle works cleanly
