Watch what you trigger, without hand-rolling Woodpecker/kubectl polling. `ci`
talks to the Woodpecker API (token from `WOODPECKER_TOKEN` or Vault
`secret/ci/global`) via the internal Traefik LB, resolving the repo from the cwd
remote, with retries that ride Woodpecker's intermittent empty responses.
| Command | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `ci status [commit]` | read | pipeline status for HEAD (or a commit) |
| `ci watch [commit]` | read | poll the pipeline to terminal; exit non-zero on failure |
| `deploy wait <ns>/<deploy> [--sha SHA]` | read | wait for the deployment image to match the sha, *then* rollout status (rollout status alone lies on the old ReplicaSet) |
`work land` now calls `ci watch` on the landed commit automatically (skip with
`--no-ci-watch`), closing the v0.1 "doesn't wait for CI" gap. `ci logs` (failing
step) is deferred to v0.4.1 — Woodpecker's per-pipeline detail/log endpoints were
the least reliable; `status`/`watch` use the list endpoint that works.
Reachability + observability probes. Their value is *endpoint resolution* — the
non-obvious "which host, public or LB, what auth, what URL shape" reasoning you'd
otherwise re-derive every time — not the HTTP call itself. All reach internal
ingresses through the Traefik LB (the Go form of `curl --resolve host:443:10.0.20.203`).
| Command | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `net check <host> [path]` | read | probes the host two ways — external (public DNS → Cloudflare) vs internal (Traefik LB) — with status + latency, so you can tell *where* a break is (CF? app? the LB path?) |
| `dns lookup <name> [type]` | read | resolves via Technitium (`10.0.20.201`) and public (`1.1.1.1`), diffed — surfaces split-horizon vs propagation gaps |
| `metrics query "<promql>"` | read | Prometheus instant query (`prometheus-query.viktorbarzin.lan`); prints `value {labels}` or `--json` |
| `metrics alerts` | read | currently-firing alerts (via the synthetic `ALERTS` series — the query frontend has no `/api/v1/alerts`) |
| `logs query "<logql>" [--since 1h] [--limit N]` | read | Loki range query (`loki.viktorbarzin.lan`); prints log lines or `--json` |
Quote the PromQL/LogQL. These hit auth-free internal ingresses — no port-forward,
no kubectl. (In-cluster-only endpoints like Alertmanager stay out of scope; the
Makes "which verbs are actually used, by everyone" a query instead of a guess —
so adding the *next* verb is evidence-driven, not shaped by one person's habits.
Every dispatched verb emits one fire-and-forget Loki line: `{job, user, verb}`
labels + `exit=N ver=X` — **only the verb path and exit code, never args, paths,
flags, or secrets.** It's best-effort (tight timeout, errors swallowed, never
affects the command) and opt-out via `HOMELAB_TELEMETRY=0`. Because the sink is
the shared Loki, aggregate usage is queryable **without reading anyone's home** —
the privacy-preserving answer to "what does the team use."
| Command | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `usage top [--since 30d] [--user U] [--json]` | read | rank verbs by invocation count across all users (or one), via `sum by (verb) (count_over_time({job="homelab-usage"}[…]))` |
| `ha token [--instance sofia\|london]` | read | print the long-lived HA API token, resolved live from the dedicated k8s Secret `openclaw/ha-tokens` (key per instance) via the ambient kubeconfig — no pre-set env var. Use as `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(homelab ha token)" …`. The secret is a least-privilege carve-out (`stacks/openclaw/ha_tokens.tf`): the `Home Server Admins` group can read *just* it, so non-admin operators get the HA token without the rest of `skill_secrets` (slack webhook, uptime-kuma password) |
| `ha ssh [--instance sofia\|london] [-i KEY] -- <cmd>` | write | run `<cmd>` on the HA host over ssh with deterministic non-interactive flags (explicit key = the invoking user's `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`, no user ssh-config, no known_hosts prompt). sofia (`vbarzin@192.168.1.8`) is reachable from the devvm LAN; london is documented but generally remote |
`--instance` defaults to **sofia** (the devvm shares the Sofia LAN). `ha token`
prints the bare token to stdout so it composes in `$(…)`; it's read-tier like
`memory secret`. `ha ssh` resolves the *invoking user's* key, so it's per-user,
not tied to whoever first wrote the workflow (the user's key must be enrolled on
Drive the cluster's **headful** Chrome (`chrome-service`, real Chrome under Xvfb)
from the devvm over CDP, for sites that detect and block headless automation. The
headless `@playwright/mcp` browser can *load* such a site and fill its forms, but
the gated action (submit/login) silently fails — the motivating case was the
Stirling Ackroyd Fixflo tenant portal, whose pre-submit check returned
`net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND` and hung. This path connects via `connect_over_cdp`,
injects the same `stealth.js` the in-cluster callers use, and submits first try.
The command owns only the *mechanics* (port-forward, stealth, lifecycle); the
agent supplies the Playwright script — judgment stays out of the CLI.
| Command | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `browser run <script.js> [--url U] [--shared-context] [--keep-open] [--port N] [--timeout S]` | write | port-forward `svc/chrome-service:9222`, assert it's a real (non-headless) Chrome via `/json/version`, `connect_over_cdp`, `addInitScript(stealth.js)`, then run the script with `page`/`context`/`browser`/`log` in scope (top-level await ok; return a value to print it). Always tears the forward down. |
| `browser open <url> [--shared-context] [--timeout S]` | write | open `<url>` headful and print title + visible text + a screenshot path — a quick check. |
| `browser --help` | read | when-to-use signature + the error-code cheat-sheet (`ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND` = automation-layer intercept, not egress; `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`/`_TIMED_OUT`/`_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED` = real egress; one endpoint 500 while siblings 200 = bot rejection). |
Default context is a **fresh incognito** one (closed on exit) — safe for the
shared browser and concurrent callers (e.g. tripit's fare scrape); `--shared-context`
reuses the warmed persistent profile when a pre-logged-in session is needed.
`port-forward` tunnels API-server→pod, so it bypasses the `:9222` NetworkPolicy
that gates in-cluster callers — no namespace label needed. The node CDP client is
pinned to **`playwright-core@1.48.2`** to match the chrome-service image minor
(Chromium 130; protocol changes between minors) and is installed once, lazily,
into `~/.cache/homelab/browser-client/` (no per-user setup). Because the client
runs on the devvm, `setInputFiles` streams local files to the remote browser over
CDP — no `chmod`/staging-dir workaround. See `docs/architecture/chrome-service.md`
