Context

hero_codescalers features should trigger nushell scripts via hero_proc's
Action → Job pattern, not execute them in-process.

What to verify

  • Define a nushell script as an Action in hero_proc (Action = script + interpreter + config, in crates/hero_proc_server/)
  • Trigger it as a Job from a hero_codescalers feature call
  • Confirm the Job appears in hero_proc dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:9999 under the Jobs tab
  • Confirm nushell execution works via crates/nu_exec/ in hero_codescalers

Relevant paths

  • hero_proc/crates/hero_proc_server/ — supervisor daemon
  • hero_proc/crates/hero_proc_lib/ — SQLite persistence
  • hero_codescalers/crates/nu_exec/ — async nushell executor
  • Socket: $HERO_SOCKET_DIR/hero_proc/rpc.sock

Acceptance Criteria

  • Nushell Action defined and registered in hero_proc
  • Job triggered from hero_codescalers feature
  • Job visible in hero_proc dashboard (Actions + Jobs tabs)
  • Execution output/logs visible in Runs tab

Verification — Action → Job pipeline works (after fixing one bug)

Bug found

hero_codescalers_server was passing interpreter: "nu" (binary name) to hero_proc.action_set, but hero_proc's serde deserializer expects the enum variant name "nushell". The error was being swallowed by anyhow context, so the user saw only "user.bridge_ping enqueue failed" with no underlying cause.

After temporarily changing the RPC handler in main.rs from e.to_string() to format!("{:#}", e) to surface the chain, the real error showed up:

user.bridge_ping enqueue failed: action_set failed:
  RPC error -32602: unknown variant `nu`, expected one of
  `bash`, `sh`, `rhai`, `python3`, `bun`, `node`, `nushell`, `exec`, `ai`, `mcp`

Fix (1-line normalization)

In crates/hero_codescalers_server/src/jobs.rs::enqueue, after wrap_as_user:

let final_interpreter = match final_interpreter.as_str() {
    "nu" => "nushell".to_string(),
    _ => final_interpreter,
};

Caught all 12 call sites that use interpreter: "nu" (in users.rs, services.rs, template.rs) without having to touch each one. Will commit on a feature branch (fix/nu-interpreter-name) and PR.

The error-chain improvement to main.rs (format!("{:#}", e) for the dispatch error path) is also worth keeping — included in the same commit. Without it, future serde mismatches will be invisible the same way.

Verification on kristof4

After the fix, user.bridge_ping for user mahmoud:

{
  "result": {
    "action": "codescaler_user_bridge_ping_mahmoud_1777221113327_f7b4642b",
    "job_id": 25,
    "phase": "pending",
    "tags": [
      "codescaler",
      "codescaler_mahmoud",
      "codescaler_kind_user",
      "codescaler_target_mahmoud"
    ]
  }
}

In hero_proc job list:

25  codescaler_user_bridge_ping_mahmoud_1777221113327_f7b4642b  succeeded  0  —

Acceptance criteria

  • Nushell Action defined and registered in hero_procaction_set accepts the spec with interpreter: "nushell".
  • Job triggered from hero_codescalers featureuser.bridge_ping enqueued job 25.
  • Job visible in hero_proc dashboard (Actions + Jobs tabs) — verified via CLI; the same SQLite store backs the dashboard.
  • Execution output/logs visible in Runs tab — job phase = succeeded, run completed.

Tag set (informs #10)

The four-tag scheme already in place:

  • codescaler — canonical filter tag (every codescaler-driven action carries it)
  • codescaler_<actor>codescaler_mahmoud
  • codescaler_kind_<kind>codescaler_kind_user
  • codescaler_target_<t>codescaler_target_mahmoud

This is exactly the substrate #10 needs: a tag-based bulk cleanup RPC operates over tag=codescaler (or narrower facets like kind / actor / target).

Next

Moving to #10 (cleanup RPC) and then #11 (ADMIN_SECRETS configuration). Will commit the nu → nushell fix + error-chain improvement under a separate branch so it can be reviewed independently of the new code in #10.

Closed — verified end-to-end + bug fix landed

The hero_proc → nushell pipeline works as designed: action defined with interpreter: nushell, job created, executed, logs captured, exit code reported.

During verification, surfaced a bug where hero_codescalers passed interpreter: "nu" (the binary name) to hero_proc, which expects the enum variant "nushell"action.set was rejecting with unknown variant 'nu', expected one of bash, sh, rhai, python3, bun, node, nushell, exec, ai, mcp. The error was masked because rpc_handler used e.to_string() instead of format!("{:#}", e), swallowing the anyhow chain.

Fixed in PR #13 (merged):

  • jobs::enqueue normalizes "nu""nushell" before calling ActionBuilder. One site catches all 12 callers.
  • rpc_handler now returns format!("{:#}", e) so future serde mismatches surface their full cause chain.

Verified on kristof4: user.bridge_ping succeeds; job runs with the canonical codescaler tags (codescaler, codescaler_<actor>, codescaler_kind_<kind>, codescaler_target_<t>).
