Michael ColeandClaude Opus 4.8 638a0516c5 Add ditto unpack CLI to turn clone result JSON into a project tree
The REST API returns a clone as a giant `files` map JSON blob with no
first-party way to use it — users were left staring at kilobytes of
escaped JSON with no path from "you got JSON" to "here's a project".

Add packages/cli: a zero-dependency `ditto` CLI whose `unpack` command
walks the files{} map from POST /v1/clones (or GET .../result) and
writes a real project tree to disk:

- text files written from inline content;
- binary assets materialized from inline base64, else fetched from their
  reference URL using $DITTO_API_URL / $DITTO_API_KEY (--no-fetch writes
  just the text tree and lists skipped assets);
- path-traversal guards (clone results are untrusted) and sha256
  integrity checks;
- reads JSON from stdin ("-") so a curl response pipes straight in;
- clear errors for queued jobs with no files yet, and a tip pointing at
  the /bundle endpoint when assets can't be fetched.

Document the pipe-from-curl one-liner prominently next to the REST
examples in README.md and docs/SERVICE.md, add a package README, a
Repository Map row, a root `unpack` script, and a CHANGELOG entry.
Covered by 9 tests (text tree, stdin, inline base64, live URL fetch with
auth + relative-URL resolution, --no-fetch, traversal refusal, queued-job
detection, sha256 mismatch).

# ditto.site Service — REST + MCP API
A hosted service layer around the deterministic compiler in [`compiler/`](../compiler):
**`POST a URL → get back the generated app as a file map`**, over both a REST
API and an MCP server, with a Postgres-backed job queue, result caching, and S3/R2
blob storage. The compiler's clone semantics are unchanged — this only wraps it.
See the root [`README.md`](../README.md) for the compiler architecture and
[`DEPLOY.md`](DEPLOY.md) for production deployment.
## Architecture (monorepo / npm workspaces)
```
compiler/ # the deterministic compiler (unchanged) + a src/index.ts library barrel
packages/
core/ # the ONLY package that imports the compiler:
# runCloneJob() (temp dir → clone → [verify] → file map), collectFileMap(), cacheKey()
db/ # Drizzle schema + migrations + repo + pg-boss queue wrapper
storage/ # ArtifactStore: LocalArtifactStore (disk) | ObjectArtifactStore (S3/R2); tgz/zip bundles
api/ # Hono app: REST routes + MCP (Streamable-HTTP) + auth/rate-limit/SSRF
worker/ # queue consumer: dequeue → runCloneJob → store artifacts → persist; verify harness
test-utils/ # shared test helpers (fixture server, Chromium probe, ephemeral Postgres)
```
Two run modes, same HTTP surface:
- **In-memory (no `DATABASE_URL`)** — the API runs single-page clones **inline** and
holds results in memory. Handy for a quick local demo.
- **DB + queue (`DATABASE_URL` set)** — `POST` enqueues a job (202); a separate
**worker** process consumes the queue, runs the clone, stores artifacts, and the
client polls to completion. This is the production mode.
## Local development
```bash
# 1. start Postgres + MinIO
docker compose up -d
# 2. install + migrate
npm install
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/ditto_site npm run db:migrate
# 3. run the API + a worker (two terminals), pointing at the local stack
cp .env.example .env # then edit
DATABASE_URL=... S3_BUCKET=ditto-site-artifacts S3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000 \
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minioadmin S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true \
npm run dev:api
# ... and the worker with the same env:
... npm run dev:worker
# Or, fully containerized:
docker compose --profile app up --build
```
Quick demo without a DB (inline single-page clone):
```bash
SSRF_ALLOW_LOOPBACK=true npm run dev:api # then:
curl -s -X POST localhost:8787/v1/clones -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://example.com/","options":{"mode":"single","styling":"tailwind"}}' | jq '.files | keys'
```
To turn that `files` map into a project on disk, pipe the response into the
`ditto` CLI (`packages/cli`) instead of inspecting the JSON by hand:
```bash
curl -s -X POST localhost:8787/v1/clones -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://example.com/","options":{"mode":"single"}}' \
| npx ditto unpack - ./out
# binary assets: set DITTO_API_URL (and DITTO_API_KEY when authenticated) so the
# CLI can fetch each file's reference URL; --no-fetch writes only the text tree.
```
## REST surface
```
POST /v1/clones { url, options? } → 202 {jobId,status} | 200 {cached result | inline result}
POST /v1/signup { email, label? } → 201 {apiKey,message} (direct public signup when enabled)
POST /v1/signup/request { email } → 202 {message} (send verification email)
POST /v1/signup/verify { token } → 201 {apiKey,message} (consume email token)
GET /v1/clones → list (metadata)
GET /v1/clones/:id → status + metadata (fileCount, totalBytes, capture, timings)
GET /v1/clones/:id/result → the eager CloneResult (text files inline; binaries by URL)
GET /v1/clones/:id/files/* → stream one file
GET /v1/clones/:id/bundle?format=tgz|zip → the whole app as one archive (302 → S3 when configured)
DELETE /v1/clones/:id → purge artifacts
GET /healthz → { ok: true } (unauthenticated)
```
`/v1/clones*` and `/mcp` are authenticated when `API_KEYS` is set or DB-backed
keys exist. Use `Authorization: Bearer <key>` or `x-api-key: <key>`.
Signup routes are intentionally public only when `SIGNUP_ENABLED=true` **and**
`DATABASE_URL` is set. Direct `POST /v1/signup` mints a `dtto_live_...` key
immediately when `SIGNUP_DIRECT_ENABLED=true`. For public production signup,
prefer the Resend-backed verified flow: `POST /v1/signup/request` sends a
one-time email link, and `POST /v1/signup/verify` consumes the token, stores
only the API key's SHA-256 hash in Postgres, stores the verified email in the
key label for attribution, and returns the raw key once.
Normal product `options` are `{ mode?: "single" | "multi", styling?: "tailwind" | "css", framework?: "next" | "vite" }`.
`mode` defaults to `"single"`, `styling` defaults to `"tailwind"`, and `framework` defaults to `"next"`. Operational options
remain `{ verify?, asyncVerify?, maxRoutes?, maxCollection?, captureConcurrency?, validationConcurrency?, viewportConcurrency?, noCache? }`; `noCache` is service-level and
bypasses the cache. Deprecated aliases (`multiPage`, `humanizeMode`) and dev-only escape
hatches are still accepted for compatibility, but are not part of the normal product surface.
`Cache-Control: no-cache` is honored as an alias.
For fast production responses, keep `verify:false` on the delivery job. The service skips
validation-only full-page screenshots in that mode. When `verify:true`, multi-page validation
can render routes and viewports concurrently with `validationConcurrency` and
`viewportConcurrency`; source route capture concurrency is controlled by `captureConcurrency`.
When running with the DB worker, `asyncVerify:true` persists the clone result first and then
attaches the verify report afterward while the worker still has the run artifacts. This is the
current async QA path; a post-hoc verify endpoint would require persisting full capture artifacts,
not just the generated app bundle.
**Incremental clone (single → multi, for speed).** Clone one URL single-page first
(fast app back), then POST the **same URL** with `{ mode: "multi" }` — the second call
reuses the first's entry capture (no re-capture of page 1), crawls + captures only the
remaining routes, and regenerates the whole site on top (shared chrome / tokens /
components preserved). The result carries `captureReused: true` when this fired. Backed
by a persistent per-URL capture cache (`CAPTURE_CACHE_DIR`, default on under
`local-data/`; staleness bounded by the cache TTL). The two calls have distinct cache
keys (single vs multi), so neither shadows the other.
## MCP surface (Streamable-HTTP at `/mcp`)
List-then-read so a clone never floods the agent's context:
- `clone_website({ url, options })``{ jobId, status }` (returns immediately).
- `get_clone_status({ jobId })``{ status, timings, capture }`.
- `get_clone_result({ jobId })`**metadata only** (routes, verify summary, capture, fileCount, totalBytes, bundleUrl).
- `list_clone_files({ jobId, glob?, route?, cursor?, limit? })` → manifest `[{path,type,bytes,sha256}]`, no content.
- `read_clone_files({ jobId, paths[], maxBytes? })` → contents for specific files (text inline; binaries as URLs; per-call size budget).
- `get_clone_bundle({ jobId, format? })` → a download reference `{ url, format, bytes, sha256 }` (not bytes).
- `list_clones()` / `cancel_clone({ jobId })`.

## Testing
`npm test` runs all workspace suites (node:test via tsx). Tests gate themselves on
their dependencies: browser tests skip without Chromium (`npx playwright install
chromium`), Postgres tests use `TEST_DATABASE_URL` or a throwaway local Postgres
(root only). The compiler's byte-determinism (Gate 6) makes the golden-file tests
exact.
