Fleet: replica floors, monitor, pause, restart

Runtime copies of middleware workers, WORM archives, and tree nodes are declared in packages/verae-fleet/fleet.json (how many) and packages/verae-fleet/services/*.json (how each one runs).

  • listnode src/cli.js list
  • monitorserve probes /health and reconciles
  • restart — crash or 503 → same instance id respawned
  • pause / off — pause does not count toward min; keepFloor starts another tree-node. stop on a service disables it.
  • tree-node floorfleet.json tree-node.min (default 3). Do not drop this without changing the spec; bulk-summary leaf queries need several bloom-filtered nodes.

Extra machines

Define hosts in packages/verae-fleet/machines.json (or Add machine on the monitor). Each machine has capacity and roles it may run. The supervisor places new replicas on the least-loaded eligible host.

  • kind: local — spawn on the control plane.
  • kind: agent — HTTP to http://host:agentPort (node src/agent.js on that box). Do not publish NATS.

Raising tree-node.max and adding machines increases bulk-summary lookup capacity.

Message RTT (planning)

The monitor samples POST /message on each healthy replica and shows min / avg / p50 / p90 milliseconds of message processing (service row, instance, and machine). Use p90 when sizing extra tree nodes.

Zapier cloud is not spawned. NATS is monitored, not bound publicly.
