Torjus Håkestad 1460cc533d chore: add CLAUDE.md and configure nix dev shell
Add CLAUDE.md with project guidance for Claude Code including
architecture overview, build commands, and testing procedures.

Update flake.nix with proper Go development shell (go, gopls,
gotools, golangci-lint, govulncheck, delve) and buildGoModule
package definition.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
homelab-deploy is a message-based deployment system for NixOS configurations using NATS for messaging. The binary operates in three modes:
1. **Listener mode** - Runs on NixOS hosts as a systemd service, subscribes to NATS subjects, executes `nixos-rebuild` on deployment requests
2. **MCP mode** - MCP server exposing deployment tools for AI assistants
3. **CLI mode** - Manual deployment commands for administrators
## Build Commands
```bash
# Enter development shell
nix develop
# Build the binary
go build ./cmd/homelab-deploy
# Run tests
go test ./...
# Build with Nix
nix build
```
## Architecture
### NATS Subject Structure
Subjects follow `deploy.<tier>.<target>`:
- `deploy.<tier>.<hostname>` - Deploy to specific host
- `deploy.<tier>.all` - Deploy to all hosts in tier
- `deploy.<tier>.role.<role>` - Deploy to hosts with role in tier
- `deploy.responses.<request-id>` - Response subject for request/reply
- `deploy.discover` - Host discovery subject
### Planned Package Structure
```
cmd/homelab-deploy/main.go # CLI entrypoint with cobra subcommands
internal/listener/ # Listener mode (NATS subscription, nixos-rebuild execution)
internal/mcp/ # MCP server mode
internal/nats/ # NATS client wrapper
internal/deploy/ # Shared deployment execution logic
nixos/module.nix # NixOS module for listener service
```
### Key Design Patterns
- **Request/Reply over NATS**: Deployer sends request with unique `reply_to` subject, listener responds with status updates
- **NKey authentication**: All NATS connections use ed25519 NKey authentication
- **Concurrency control**: Only one deployment per host at a time (in-memory lock)
- **Tiered access**: MCP has separate credentials for test-tier vs admin (all tiers) access
### Message Formats
Request: `{"action": "switch|boot|test|dry-activate", "revision": "<branch-or-commit>", "reply_to": "<subject>"}`
Response: `{"hostname": "<name>", "status": "accepted|rejected|started|completed|failed", "error": "<code>|null", "message": "<details>"}`
## Dependencies
Key Go libraries to use:
- `github.com/nats-io/nats.go` - NATS client
- `github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go` - MCP server implementation
## Build Commands
Run commands through the Nix development shell using `nix develop -c`:
```bash
# Build
nix develop -c go build ./...
# Run tests
nix develop -c go test ./...
# Run single test
nix develop -c go test -run TestName ./path/to/package
# Lint
nix develop -c golangci-lint run
# Vulnerability check
nix develop -c govulncheck ./...
# Test Nix build
nix build
# Run the binary (prefer this over go build + running binary)
# To pass arguments, use -- before them: nix run .#default -- --help
nix run .#default
```
## Testing Procedures
Before committing, run the following checks:
1. `nix develop -c go test ./...` - Unit tests
2. `nix develop -c golangci-lint run` - Linting
3. `nix develop -c govulncheck ./...` - Vulnerability scanning
4. `nix build` - Verify nix build works
## Commit Message Format
Use conventional commit format:
```
feat: add new feature
fix: fix a bug
docs: update documentation
refactor: refactor code without changing behavior
test: add or update tests
chore: maintenance tasks
```
## Version Bumping
Follow semantic versioning:
- **Patch** (0.0.x): Bugfixes
- **Minor** (0.x.0): Non-breaking changes adding features
- **Major** (x.0.0): Breaking changes
Update the `const version` in `main.go`. The Nix build extracts the version from there automatically.
**When to bump**: If any Go code has changed, bump the version before committing. Do this automatically when asked to commit. On feature branches, only bump once per branch (check if version has already been bumped compared to master).
