forked from heavy-duty/rig
rig read no hardware at all. The single exception was `uname -m` in runner-install.sh, used to pick a runner tarball and then discarded — so "is this the 32GB one, or the M900?" was a question you answered by logging in and running free -h, nproc, df -h and uname -r by hand, four commands deep, on a machine you were already unsure about. `rig platform` prints hostname, OS, kernel, CPU, memory, disk and virtualization, then a provenance block: which rig, when, and the role marker's traits. It COMPUTES rather than stores, and that is the design rather than an implementation detail. Specs change without rig doing anything — RAM added, root disk resized, the unattended-upgrades bootstrap itself enables patching the kernel — so a stored spec is stale the moment the machine changes, and refreshing one on every run would collide with bootstrap's "safe to re-run; a second run changes nothing" contract. Nothing is written, so nothing can go stale. The corollary is deliberate: reading only /proc, uname, /etc/os-release, df and systemd-detect-virt means no root, no network, and it runs on a pristine Debian box rig has never bootstrapped — useful for deciding what to converge a machine into, not only for auditing it afterwards. That also makes it the rare rig command the harness can RUN for real rather than grep: the tests assert the answer describes the actual test machine (kernel and hostname compared against independently computed values), and assert it writes nothing. Both known traps are handled explicitly. /etc/os-release is sourced in a SUBSHELL — it defines VERSION, NAME and ID and would otherwise clobber same-named script variables, the form every other site in this tree uses and test/cli.sh already greps for. systemd-detect-virt exits non-zero on bare metal while printing 'none', a normal answer that set -e would otherwise turn into a failed run, so it is wrapped in `|| true`. Provenance is read, never written, and degrades per file. /etc/rig/manifest is #61 and does not exist yet, so that line reads 'not bootstrapped' on every machine today; the command ships complete without it and neither blocks the other. Named `platform` and not `status`: `users status` and `runner status` cross-check recorded against live state and print DRIFT, and a command that records nothing cannot drift, so calling it status would borrow a promise it structurally cannot make. It also leaves `rig status` free for the machine-wide roll-up it will eventually want to be. Refs #64 |
