closes #64

Problem and user impact

Every spaceapp service (core, browser host, CLI host) ran from one monolithic image whose node_modules contained the union of all production dependencies. Each service shipped the other services' closures, native prebuilds for platforms it never runs on, source maps, the auto-installed peer typescript and the Temporal Rust sources. Measured linux/amd64 with the old image: core 1045.0 MiB (arm64 1066.9) against a 850 MiB ceiling requested in #64, and cli carried the full OpenCode + pane stack of dependencies it does not use at once.

Change

  • Dockerfile: deps-core / deps-browser / deps-cli build stages reinstall from the lockfile with npm ci --omit=dev -w <workspaces> scoped to the workspaces each target runs (core: apps/api + apps/worker; browser: apps/api; cli: packages/cli-host), then run the new scripts/container-image-trim.mjs and drop src/__tests__/*.test.* files. The runtime stages copy only the packages each entry point needs (including the hoisted root node_modules of that target's closure); runtime-base is unchanged, so entrypoints, the spaceapp user, healthchecks, wrappers and the npm security patches are identical to today.
  • scripts/container-image-trim.mjs: removes source maps, the auto-installed peer typescript, non-target native prebuilds (Temporal core-bridge platform dirs, node-pty win32/darwin prebuilds, musl @napi-rs/canvas variants) and the Temporal Rust sources. Covered by scripts/tests/container-image-trim.test.mjs.
  • scripts/container-smoke/{core,browser,cli}-smoke.mjs + .github/workflows/containers.yml: per-target + arch smoke checks in CI against a pinned pgvector service (core: /readyz ok:true + migrations applied; cli: framed ping on the pane-host socket; browser: Browser Host health + one headless Chromium launch), plus the budget step and scripts/** path filters; arm64 (QEMU) timeout raised to 150 minutes.
  • scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs: budgets lowered to the new measured sizes + margin for the arm64 delta and dependency growth, measurements in the comment; the matching test updated.

Measured sizes (linux/amd64, du -sbx / in each image)

  • core: 668.4 MiB (budget 750 MiB, ceiling 850 MiB; old image 1045.0)
  • browser: 1160.2 MiB (budget 1250 MiB, ceiling 1350 MiB)
  • cli: 701.6 MiB (budget 800 MiB, ceiling 1000 MiB)

linux/arm64 is measured by the containers.yml matrix; it has been ~25 MiB larger than amd64 for these closures. All three images build from the same Dockerfile targets as before (core/browser/cli), so release.yml and security.yml keep working unchanged.

Verification

  • Relevant automated tests pass: all 26 scripts/tests suites (250 tests) pass, including container-image-trim, container-image-size-budget, public-docker-distribution and public-compose-config layout tests.
  • Per-target smoke checks pass locally on linux/amd64 against a pgvector 0.8.3-pg17 service (logs below).
  • Full-stack check with the launcher (install --profile large, local images only) — steps and output below.
  • Linux, macOS, and/or Windows coverage: linux/amd64 measured locally; linux/arm64 enforced by the containers.yml matrix in CI (the bounty requires Linux only).
  • UI changes: none (container packaging only).
  • No credentials, tokens, personal memory, customer data, private paths, or runtime state are included.
  • Documentation and changelog: no behavior change; image tags, entrypoints and deploy scripts unchanged.
  • Security, migration, resource, and rollback effects: images stay content-addressed by tag; a rollback reinstalls the previous tag. Resource effect is strictly smaller images. Security patches in runtime-base unchanged; Trivy scanning (security.yml) keeps building the same targets.

Full-stack check with the launcher (linux/amd64, 16 CPU host)

Steps and output:

  1. Built the three images locally from this branch and tagged them the way the launcher expects (version 1.1.6):
docker build --target core    -t ghcr.io/oll4com/spaceapp-core:1.1.6 .
docker build --target browser  -t ghcr.io/oll4com/spaceapp-browser:1.1.6 .
docker build --target cli       -t ghcr.io/oll4com/spaceapp-cli:1.1.6 .
  1. node packages/run-spaceapp/bin/spaceapp.mjs install --profile large --local-images → exit 0. Profile large = browserEnabled + temporalEnabled.

  2. Resulting stack (docker ps):

spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-postgres-1        | Up 13 minutes (healthy)
spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-temporal-1         | Up 13 minutes (unhealthy)
spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-spaceapp-core-1    | Up 9 minutes (healthy)
spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-spaceapp-cli-1     | Up 13 minutes
spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-spaceapp-browser-1 | Up 9 minutes

(temporal-1 reports docker-"unhealthy" only because its tctl healthcheck times out on this slow-disk host; the core worker connects and registers on the temporal task queue and reports RUNNING.)

  1. Claimed the instance over the API and opened the web app (127.0.0.1:4911). The starter room came up with its OpenCode pane; starting the pane session and attaching the terminal WebSocket:
POST /api/panes/pane:SPuyv14yZzcv/cli/session  -> 200, session cli_session:CJlx0AKDiiPX (cli:opencode)
WS   /api/panes/pane:SPuyv14yZzcv/cli/terminal -> open
{"type":"ready","paneId":"pane:SPuyv14yZzcv","sessionId":"cli_session:CJlx0AKDiiPX","runtimeId":"cli:opencode"}
{"type":"status","status":"RUNNING","statusReason":"Attached to CLI process.","replayContinuity":"COMPLETE"}
{"type":"output","stream":"stdout","data":"Checking free OpenCode model: Big Pickle\r\n"}

and the OpenCode process is visible in the cli container:

$ docker exec spaceapp-d46e1421d32d-spaceapp-cli-1 ps aux | grep opencode
bash /usr/local/bin/opencode-vscode-parity
node /app/deploy/docker/opencode-first-run.mjs
opencode models opencode --refresh --verbose
  1. Browser pane: the Browser Host in the browser container starts, listens and passes its health check, and a browser pane can be created in the room. Opening a headed page inside the pane session is not possible on this host because pane browser sessions spawn /usr/bin/Xvfb, which runtime-base does not install — that is a pre-existing gap on main (same apt set, no xvfb anywhere in the repo) and is not changed by this PR. What the browser image can do is verified headlessly: the CI smoke check launches headless Chromium from the image and loads a page successfully.

  2. Uninstalled the stack afterwards (spaceapp.mjs down + removal of the compose project and volumes) — host left clean.

Smoke check output (linux/amd64, pgvector 0.8.3-pg17-trixie)

core:    /readyz ok:true, migrations applied
cli:     pane host accepted a framed ping
browser: Browser Host healthy and headless Chromium launched

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Container images include only the production components each image needs, reducing their size. Size limits are now 800 MiB for core, 1,300 MiB for browser, and 900 MiB for CLI images.
  • Reliability

    • Container builds now run database-backed smoke checks for core, browser, and CLI images on both supported processor architectures, checking that they start and respond as expected. These checks run on pull requests and pushes to the main branch.

Schultzenator and others added 3 commits October 18, 2026 22:13
- chmod the bind-mounted socket dirs: the pane host and Browser Host run as
  the image spaceapp user (uid 10001) and cannot create sockets in a
  directory owned by the smoke runner otherwise.
- pipe stdin for the framed ping/health programs (execFileSync "ignore"
  stdio made docker exec -i node read EOF and exit 0 without output).
- pass SPACE_DATABASE_URL to the migration step: migrate.js resolves its
  URL from the environment only.
- best-effort temp dir cleanup: the Browser Host retightens permissions on
  the bind-mounted socket dir, which made rmSync mask a passed smoke check.
- merge stderr into captured container logs so crashes are debuggable.
- lower image size budgets to the measured per-target closures and update
  the budget test (core 668.3 / browser 1160.1 / cli 701.6 MiB on amd64).
Split the monolithic image into core/browser/cli targets with
per-target production dependency closures (npm ci --omit=dev per
workspace + container-image-trim.mjs), per-target smoke checks in
containers.yml against a pgvector service, and lowered size budgets
measured on the per-target images.

- Dockerfile: deps-core/browser/cli stages reinstall from the lockfile
  scoped to the workspaces each target runs; runtime stages copy only
  the packages each entry point needs (root node_modules included).
- containers.yml: postgres service, per-target+arch smoke and budget
  steps, scripts paths in filters, arch-dependent timeout for QEMU.
- scripts/container-smoke/{core,browser,cli}-smoke.mjs: smoke checks;
  bind-mounted socket dirs chmod 0777 (spaceapp uid must create the
  socket), migrate.js gets SPACE_DATABASE_URL from the environment,
  docker logs capture merges stderr, and sh() pipes stdin when input
  is provided so docker exec -i node receives the probe script.
- budgets: core 750 / browser 1250 / cli 800 MiB (amd64 measured
  668.4 / 1160.2 / 701.6 MiB), under the issue ceilings 850/1350/1000.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #64 coding work is present. The Dockerfile adds target-specific production dependency stages and runtime copies. The trim script and tests remove unused files and native variants. The workflow adds per-target, per-architecture budget and smoke-check jobs. The budget file sets core, browser, and CLI budgets to 800, 1300, and 900 MiB, below the issue ceilings. The supplied evidence does not establish completed budget results for all three targets on linux/arm64. It also does not establish whether the README has disk requirements that need an update.

Resolution

Provide the completed containers.yml budget results for core, browser, and CLI on both architectures. Confirm the README disk-requirement status.

Add a load check for the trimmed Temporal bridge.

SPACEAPP_WORKFLOWS_ENABLED=false keeps the worker from starting. The core smoke therefore never loads @temporalio/core-bridge. The trim script removes every releases/* entry except temporalCoreBridgeReleaseTargetByArch[arch]. A wrong or renamed release directory would remove the only usable index.node, and no CI check would detect it on either architecture. Add a docker run --rm --entrypoint node <image> -e "require('@temporalio/core-bridge')" step, or an equivalent import from apps/worker.

Remove workspace dist source maps in the deps stages.

The old build stage removed source maps after the build. That cleanup was removed. container-image-trim.mjs now removes .map files only under the root node_modules. Both find passes prune dist, so every apps/*/dist/**/*.map and packages/*/dist/**/*.map file reaches the core, browser, and CLI images. This adds image size and can ship sourcesContent. The fix is to add one .map deletion that runs inside dist.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Run the Chromium probe as spaceapp.

The images do not set USER. The entrypoints start as root and drop privileges. docker exec therefore runs Chromium as root, so the comment "same user" is wrong. The probe does not prove that uid 10001 can start Chromium with the image's file permissions and HOME. The framed health probe at Line 79 has the same gap for socket permissions. Pass --user spaceapp to both docker exec calls.

Include stderr in the migration-log assertion.

packages/db/src/migrate.ts writes the applied message with console.log, so the migration message currently uses stdout. However, docker logs can return container stderr separately, and the failure-path diagnostic can therefore omit relevant logs. Merge both streams for consistent diagnostics.

…size budgets

amd64 measurements with the per-target closures and the trim step:
core 252.4 MiB, browser 446.1 MiB, cli 261.4 MiB (docker buildx --load
+ container-image-size-budget.mjs). Budgets lowered to the measured
sizes plus room for the arm64 delta and dependency growth:
core 380 / browser 650 / cli 420 MiB.

Launcher full-stack check with per-service images (amd64) — evidence for the launcher criterion in #64.

Method. Built core, browser and cli from this branch on linux/amd64, tagged them locally as ghcr.io/oll4com/spaceapp-{core,browser,cli}:1.1.6, then exercised the launcher end to end with --local-images (--profile large): it recreated the entire runtime — network, volumes and all five containers — from those images.

Results.

  • Launcher completed with exit code 0: SpaceApp 1.1.6 runtime repaired.
  • --local-images behaved exactly as designed (Local images only: skipping registry downloads; missing images will fail startup.). Without it the default pull path fails with ghcr.io/oll4com/spaceapp-browser:1.1.6: not found — expected until the release workflow publishes the per-service tags after merge.
  • Containers after bring-up: postgres healthy, spaceapp-core healthy, spaceapp-browser up, spaceapp-cli up.
  • Web UI: GET / → HTTP 200; GET /readyz → `{"ok":true,"dependencies":{"database":"RUNNING","worker":"RUNNING","store":"postgres","temporal":"disabled"}}`.
  • OpenCode pane: framed ping on the CLI pane-host socket (/run/spaceapp-cli/host.sock) → `{"ok":true,"hostPid":7,"sessionCount":0}` (same framed protocol as scripts/container-smoke/cli-smoke.mjs).
  • Browser pane: framed health on the Browser Host socket (/run/spaceapp-browser/browser-host.sock) → `{"enabled":true,"statusReason":"Managed Chrome browser sessions are enabled.","defaultUrl":"about:blank"}` (same framed protocol as scripts/container-smoke/browser-smoke.mjs).

Two upstream observations from this run (pre-existing behavior, not introduced by this PR):

  • temporal is an optional dependency (required: false); when its health check did not pass, compose logged Skipped: optional dependency "temporal" failed to start and core came up with temporal: "disabled" in /readyz — graceful degradation works as designed.
  • The Browser Host starts concurrently with core and can crash-loop briefly before core finishes migrations (42P01 relation "pane_browser_sessions" does not exist); it self-recovers via the restart policy once migrations complete. Non-blocking, but worth knowing for install UX.

arm64 builds from this branch are still running locally; I will follow up with the measured sizes once the matrix finishes.

Record the Linux/arm64 measurements for core and cli.

Issue #64 requires the lowered budgets to include their measurements. This comment records only an approximate arm64 delta for core and cli. Add their measured values. This is a documentation gap; it does not show that either image exceeds its size ceiling.

The previous budgets (core 380 / browser 650 / cli 420 MiB) were set
from docker image inspect .Size on a host running the containerd image
store, which reports the COMPRESSED size. The containers.yml runners
use the classic overlay2 store, where .Size is the uncompressed layer
sum, so every matrix job failed the budget step: measured core 724.9,
browser 1218.8 (arm64 1242.9), cli 758.2 MiB.

Set the budgets to 800 / 1300 / 900 MiB: the measured matrix plus
headroom for the arm64 delta and dependency growth, still under the
oll4com#64 ceilings (850 / 1350 / 1000 MiB). Document both .Size semantics in
the comment so local checks on containerd-store hosts (Docker Desktop,
docker 29 snapshotter) are not misread; for reference those hosts
report ~252 / ~446 / ~261 MiB compressed for these images. Test
updated and extended with ceiling assertions.

Ref oll4com#64
The arm64 browser job on the amd64 GitHub runners executes the image
under qemu-user emulation, and headless Chromium dies during startup
there: crashpad fails its prctl call, qemu reports an uncaught SIGTRAP
and the process exits 134. That reflects the emulator, not the image -
in the same job the Browser Host starts, migrations run and the framed
health ping on its socket succeeds, so only the exec of chromium fails.

Teach browser-smoke.mjs the SMOKE_SKIP_CHROMIUM_LAUNCH escape hatch: when
set to "true" it asserts the shipped /usr/bin/chromium binary is present
and executable instead of launching it. containers.yml sets it only for
the arm64 matrix cell on an X64 runner, so native arm64 runners would
still launch Chromium for real.

Follow-up: container matrix verification (amd64 + arm64) and the two fixes it surfaced.

1. Size semantics correction (44fbeee). docker image inspect .Size reports the compressed image size on containerd-image-store hosts (Docker Desktop, docker 29 snapshotter), but the uncompressed layer sum on the classic overlay2 runners that containers.yml uses. The earlier budgets came from compressed local measurements (core 252.4 / browser 446.1 / cli 261.4 MiB), so every matrix job failed them: the uncompressed sizes the CI reports are core 724.9, browser 1218.8 (arm64 1242.9), cli 758.2 MiB. The budgets now match the semantics of the CI matrix - core 800 / browser 1300 / cli 900 MiB - still under the #64 ceilings (850 / 1350 / 1000 MiB), with both semantics documented in scripts/container-image-size-budget.mjs and ceiling assertions added to its test.

2. Chromium under QEMU (bf87294). The arm64 browser job runs under qemu-user emulation, where headless Chromium dies during startup (crashpad prctl fails, SIGTRAP, exit 134). The Browser Host itself starts, migrations run and the framed health ping on its socket succeeds, so only the chromium exec fails - an emulator limitation, not an image defect. browser-smoke.mjs now supports SMOKE_SKIP_CHROMIUM_LAUNCH=true, which asserts the shipped /usr/bin/chromium binary is present and executable instead of launching it; containers.yml sets it for the arm64 matrix cell on X64 runners only, so a native arm64 runner still launches Chromium for real.

Container matrix on bf87294: success - https://github.com/Schultzenator/spaceapp/actions/runs/39176788558

  • browser / linux-amd64: success - browser image spaceapp-ci:browser-amd64: 1218.8 MiB; budget 1300.0 MiB; remaining 81.2 MiB
  • cli / linux-amd64: success - cli image spaceapp-ci:cli-amd64: 758.2 MiB; budget 900.0 MiB; remaining 141.8 MiB
  • cli / linux-arm64: success - cli image spaceapp-ci:cli-arm64: 623.4 MiB; budget 900.0 MiB; remaining 276.6 MiB
  • core / linux-arm64: success - core image spaceapp-ci:core-arm64: 749.2 MiB; budget 800.0 MiB; remaining 50.8 MiB
  • core / linux-amd64: success - core image spaceapp-ci:core-amd64: 724.9 MiB; budget 800.0 MiB; remaining 75.1 MiB
  • browser / linux-arm64: success - browser image spaceapp-ci:browser-arm64: 1242.9 MiB; budget 1300.0 MiB; remaining 57.1 MiB

For reference, the compressed on-the-wire sizes on a containerd-store host are core ~252 MiB, browser ~446 MiB, cli ~261 MiB (amd64; arm64: core 252.1, browser 446.7, cli 205.1 MiB) - that is what users actually pull.

Note on the Security workflow: both fork runs fail on the same single pre-existing, time-dependent test - apps/api tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts, case "picks the most recently updated eligible pane" (1 failed / 2715 passed). Root cause and suggested fixes: #207. This PR does not touch apps/api; the test passes locally (15/15, repeatedly). Image scans (core/browser/cli) and CodeQL pass in both runs.
