Run 4 failed at `ship artifacts` with `sudo: unrecognized option '--server'`. `R="--rsync-path=sudo rsync --mkpath"` expanded unquoted as `rsync $R` splits into three arguments — `--rsync-path=sudo`, plus a stray `rsync` that rsync reads as a source path — so the remote end ran `sudo --server`. Use an array. The dashboard step quoted it inline and was unaffected, which is why only half the deploy was broken. Every rsync destination and every sudo command in `apply system state` has now been exercised directly against bob as gitea_ci, rather than by another six minute round trip: seven rsync targets, sysusers, restorecon, firewalld and daemon-reload all pass. That surfaced the second fault. restorecon was given /var/lib/tireless, which does not exist on a fresh host: infra-setup.sh tried to create it before systemd-sysusers had created the account to own it, so the attempt always raced and always lost. Declare StateDirectory=tireless on all three units instead — systemd creates the directory, owns it as the service user and labels it — and drop the path from restorecon, the grant, and infra-setup.

tireless
Keeps several repositories moving without an operator driving each change by hand. It watches Gitea (and GitHub, for legacy repos) and does three things:
- discovers — surveys a repo and proposes issues worth opening;
- plans — decomposes an issue into an epic and child issues, each specified well enough for a model that cannot ask questions;
- implements — produces a branch and a pull request.
Those chain into a loop with exactly two human gates: a person decides what enters the system, and a person decides what merges. Discovery proposes but never admits its own proposals; nothing merges itself.
Two coding agents do the work, each spawned as the vendor's own binary:
- Claude Code — discovery, planning, and implementation of issues that need interpretation. Uses the operator's Claude subscription by default, or pay-as-you-go if an API key is supplied.
- OpenCode — implementation of issues that a tireless plan already specified, against the self-hosted helexa fleet. Never Anthropic; enforced at startup.
The rule of thumb: Claude Code gets judgement, OpenCode gets specification.
Full design, constraints and the staged implementation plan:
doc/plan/design.md.
Status
Stage 0 (foundations) is built and passes its gate; nothing is deployed yet.
Working: the domain model, routing, budgets, plan validation, the policy guards,
configuration loading and validation, the four system prompts, and preflight.
tireless preflight runs today.
Not built: Postgres persistence, the forge clients, the poll loop, and every agent executor. Stages 1–8 in §7 of the design document say what lands when.
tireless is its own first tracked repo — see design.md §10 for what that implies, including which parts of this repo are deliberately routed to the stronger lane.
Build
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all
cd dashboard && npm ci && npm run lint && npm run build
Run locally
cargo run -p tireless-api -- --config ./config.toml
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml poll
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml run
cd dashboard && npm run dev # proxies /v1 to 127.0.0.1:23296
tireless preflight verifies configuration and credentials without starting a
service: it reports which billing mode a Claude Code run would use and asserts
the OpenCode lane is not pointed at Anthropic.
Deploy
CI-driven via Gitea Actions on merge to main
(architecture/deployment-gitea-actions.md). One-time host provisioning —
including the interactive Claude Code login and the Gitea bot account — is
script/infra-setup.sh.
| Host | bob.hanzalova.internal (binaries, units, job trees) |
| API port | 23296 (registered in architecture/port-allocations.md), bound 0.0.0.0, mesh-only |
| Ingress | nginx on the hanzalova proxy — not on bob |
| Dashboard | https://tireless.internal (mesh only), served from the proxy |
| Database | magrathea.kosherinata.internal:5432, mTLS |
Conventions
Follows lair/architecture;
generic.md is the baseline. Three deliberate deviations:
tireless-agentcrate beyond the standard entities/core/data split. Process orchestration is not data access, and it is shared by the runner and the CLI. (§1)MemoryDenyWriteExecute=falseontireless-runner. Both agents are Node programs and V8's JIT needs write-then-execute pages. The API and poller keep the setting. (§8)AGENTS.mdis a symlink toCLAUDE.md. Both agents look for their own filename and the instructions are identical; a symlink is the only version of this that cannot drift.
