For instance in start command, should start itself via zinit. <some_service>_server start should start that server using zinit, from the current zinit progress in geomind_code/zinit development_kristof branch. This means generated hero_rpc servers should be generated with such code to enable this.

Implementation Plan: Zinit Lifecycle Integration for hero_rpc

Context

All generated hero_rpc servers should use zinit (via ZinitRPCAPIClient from geomind_code/zinit development branch) for lifecycle management. This follows Pattern B (centralized orchestration via OpenRPC client) — the standard for all hero services going forward.

Architecture

Where: packages/oserver in hero_rpc — this is the high-level server wrapper that generated servers use. The code generator (packages/osis/src/generators/) will produce main.rs files that leverage this.

Model: Full action+service registration using zinit's action-based architecture:

1. Register an ActionSpec (exec command, health checks, retry policy, env vars)
2. Register a ServiceConfig (references the action, defines dependencies)
3. Start/stop/query via ZinitRPCAPIClient

CLI Subcommands for Generated Servers

Every generated <service>_server binary will support:

Command	Description
start	Register with zinit (action + service config) and start as managed service
stop	Stop the zinit-managed service
run	Run directly without zinit (for development/debugging)
status	Query zinit for service status
logs	Fetch service logs from zinit
ui	Open the service's own admin UI/inspector in browser
zinit	Open zinit web UI for this service in browser

Implementation Steps

1. Add zinit_sdk dependency to packages/oserver

[dependencies]
zinit_sdk = { git = "https://forge.ourworld.tf/geomind_code/zinit.git", branch = "development" }

Always-on (not feature-gated) — zinit is the standard lifecycle manager.

2. Create packages/oserver/src/lifecycle.rs

New module providing:

• ZinitLifecycle struct — encapsulates zinit client connection and service registration
• register_service() — builds and registers ActionSpec + ServiceConfig with zinit
  • ActionSpec: exec = <binary_path> run, health checks (Unix socket or HTTP), retry policy, environment forwarding
  • ServiceConfig: references the action, context = "core" (or configurable)
• start_service() — calls service_start() via RPC
• stop_service() — calls service_stop() via RPC
• service_status() — calls service_status() / service_status_full() via RPC
• service_logs() — calls logs_get() / logs_tail() via RPC
• open_ui() — opens service admin URL in browser
• open_zinit_ui() — opens zinit web UI for this service in browser

3. Create packages/oserver/src/cli.rs

Clap-based CLI parser that all generated servers embed:

#[derive(Parser)]
#[command(name = "hero_<service>_server")]
pub struct ServerCli {
    #[command(subcommand)]
    pub command: ServerCommand,
}

#[derive(Subcommand)]
pub enum ServerCommand {
    /// Start as zinit-managed service
    Start { /* optional overrides */ },
    /// Stop the zinit-managed service
    Stop,
    /// Run directly (development mode)
    Run {
        #[arg(long, env)]
        contexts: Option<String>,
        #[arg(long, env)]
        seed_dir: Option<String>,
    },
    /// Show service status from zinit
    Status,
    /// Show service logs from zinit
    Logs {
        #[arg(short, default_value = "100")]
        lines: i32,
    },
    /// Open service admin UI in browser
    Ui,
    /// Open zinit UI for this service
    Zinit,
}

4. Extend OServer / OServerConfig

• Add service_name to config (used for zinit registration)
• Add socket_paths() method returning the Unix socket paths
• Add run_cli() method that parses CLI and dispatches to the right handler
• The run subcommand calls the existing run() method (current behavior)
• Other subcommands use ZinitLifecycle

5. Update code generator

packages/osis/src/generators/rust/rust_server.rs and scaffold.rs:

• Generated main.rs calls OServer::run_cli() instead of manually parsing args
• The run path does what current main() does (register domains, run server)
• All other paths delegate to ZinitLifecycle

6. Health check strategy

The generated ActionSpec will include a health check pointing to the service's Unix socket:

• Type: exec-based (check socket exists + send health RPC)
• Or: TCP/HTTP if the service also binds an HTTP port
• Aligns with hero_sockets skill: all services MUST have /health endpoint on their Unix socket

7. Zinit socket connection

Use ZinitRPCAPIClient::connect_socket() with auto-detection:

• Try zinit_sdk's default connection first
• Fall back to ~/hero/var/zinit/zinit.sock convention
• Support ZINIT_SOCKET env var override

What This Replaces

• No more manual cargo run for production — start via zinit is the standard
• No more Makefile-based service management — zinit handles start/stop/restart/logs
• run subcommand preserved for local development

Alignment with Skills

• hero_service: 3-crate structure (server/SDK/UI) unchanged, lifecycle layer added
• hero_sockets: Unix socket convention preserved, health endpoint mandatory
• hero_crates_best_practices_check / check: Will update to verify zinit lifecycle integration
• zinit_sdk: Using the geomind_code development branch client

Services to Migrate (follow-up issues)

These existing services use older zinit patterns and should migrate to Pattern B:

• hero_embedder_server — currently uses Pattern A (ServiceConfigBuilder + ZinitHandle)
• hero_books_server — currently uses Pattern C (CLI subprocess)

Open Questions

1. Should start also handle first-time setup (creating data dirs, seeding)? Or is that a separate install action in zinit?
2. Should we support zinit contexts beyond "core" for multi-tenant deployments?

Fixed the default zinit socket path in ZinitLifecycle::connect() — was ~/hero/var/zinit/zinit.sock, should be ~/hero/var/sockets/zinit_server.sock to match zinit_server's actual bind path. Pushed as d18ef03.

Also established best practices for repos adopting this pattern:

• No standalone mode: run subcommand is internal (zinit calls it). Devs use start/stop/status/logs.
• cargo update before start: make start runs cargo update first so git deps are fresh.
• make run = start + stream logs: Starts via zinit, streams logs in foreground, Ctrl-C stops services. Best DX while keeping zinit supervision.
• UI/HTTP crates too: Not just OpenRPC servers — any supervised binary (e.g. hero_os_ui) should import ZinitLifecycle from hero_rpc_server.

Naming Convention Finalized

The CLI subcommand naming is now standardized across all hero_rpc-based servers:

Command	Purpose
run	Developer command — start via zinit + stream logs + stop on Ctrl-C
start	Start via zinit in the background
stop	Stop the zinit-managed service
serve	Internal — what zinit invokes to actually run the server process (never call manually)
status	Query zinit for service status
logs	Fetch service logs from zinit

Implementation

• ZinitLifecycle::run() method added — handles start + log streaming + Ctrl-C stop
• ZinitLifecycle::exec_command() now generates {binary} serve (was run)
• ServerCommand::Serve replaces old ServerCommand::Run (aliased as _serve)
• New ServerCommand::Run dispatches to lifecycle.run()

Makefile best practice

run: update build  ## Start + stream logs (Ctrl-C stops)
	cargo run -p my_server -- run

start: update build  ## Start in background
	cargo run -p my_server -- start

No Makefile-level log polling needed — ZinitLifecycle::run() handles everything.

Serve Rename Applied to All 4 Non-OpenRPC Repos

The run → serve rename convention from commit 9d338ad has been applied to:

• hero_aibroker (development_standardize branch, commit 415ac19)
• hero_embedder (development branch, commit 0351b0d)
• hero_index_server (development branch, commit f3ae5d6)
• hero_redis (development branch, commit abecd5f)

All 4 repos now use the same pattern as the hero_rpc framework:

Subcommand	Purpose
run	Start via zinit + stream logs + stop on Ctrl-C (developer command)
start	Register with zinit, start in background
stop	Stop the zinit-managed service
serve	Actually run the server process (internal — zinit calls this)
status / logs	Query zinit

Since these repos don't use OSIS/OpenRPC, they use a local ZinitLifecycle (same API as hero_rpc_server::ZinitLifecycle) with zinit_sdk directly.

All compile clean. Details in lhumina_code/home#6

## Serve Rename Applied to All 4 Non-OpenRPC Repos The `run → serve` rename convention from commit `9d338ad` has been applied to: - **hero_aibroker** (`development_standardize` branch, commit `415ac19`) - **hero_embedder** (`development` branch, commit `0351b0d`) - **hero_index_server** (`development` branch, commit `f3ae5d6`) - **hero_redis** (`development` branch, commit `abecd5f`) All 4 repos now use the same pattern as the hero_rpc framework: | Subcommand | Purpose | |------------|--------| | `run` | Start via zinit + stream logs + stop on Ctrl-C (developer command) | | `start` | Register with zinit, start in background | | `stop` | Stop the zinit-managed service | | `serve` | Actually run the server process (internal — zinit calls this) | | `status` / `logs` | Query zinit | Since these repos don't use OSIS/OpenRPC, they use a local `ZinitLifecycle` (same API as `hero_rpc_server::ZinitLifecycle`) with `zinit_sdk` directly. All compile clean. Details in https://forge.ourworld.tf/lhumina_code/home/issues/6
