`continuum-proxy` now generates go2rtc's configuration from the camera
URLs the printers themselves report, and sends two new things up: a
`stream_base_url` on its hello, and a `camera_stream` per printer in
telemetry. This is the other end of both.
`GET /printers/:id/stream` answers `{ streamUrl, cameraId }`, which is
everything a browser needs to open a WebRTC session against the gateway's
go2rtc. 404 rather than 200-with-nulls when either half is missing: a
client handed `{ streamUrl: null }` has to remember to check, and one that
forgets renders a player that can never load. The two causes get
different messages, because they are different problems for whoever is
debugging - a P1/A1 that can never stream is not a gateway that happens
to be offline - and the printer is checked first so a disconnected
gateway cannot mask the permanent case.
The resolution lives in `src/stream.ts` with no imports at all, for the
same reason `dispatch/job_status.ts` does: `../db` opens a connection at
import time, and these two messages are exactly the part worth testing
without one.
Storage, both decided against the obvious alternative:
- `stream_base_url` lives on the in-memory connection, so it goes away
with the socket. It is a LAN address that is only reachable while that
gateway is up; a column on `farms` would keep handing out an address
nothing answers after the gateway disconnected or moved.
- `camera_stream` gets a plain column, because every sibling telemetry
field already has one, and it is cleared when absent like the rest - a
printer that loses its stream must stop being offered one.
`cameraStream` is also added to `printerProjection`, which that file
deliberately requires someone to decide per column. It is a go2rtc stream
name, which is our own printer id echoed back, not a credential, and
having it in the list a client already fetches is what saves it from
calling the stream endpoint once per printer to discover that most of
them 404 by design.
Worth writing down, and it is in the route's comment too: `streamUrl` is
a LAN address and nothing relays it. A browser on the gateway's network
can play the stream and one outside cannot, and this endpoint cannot tell
which the caller is. Good enough for an operator in the workshop, a real
limit for anyone else, and a relay is the fix that does not exist yet.

continuum-backend
Cloud control plane for Continuum. Bun + ElysiaJS, PostgreSQL (via pgCat/PgBouncer, with pgvector for frame embeddings), Valkey Streams, and Cloudflare R2 storage.
Run
bun install
scripts/dev-env.sh up # Valkey + Postgres/pgvector, and print the URLs
scripts/dev-env.sh schema # apply drizzle/ - same as bun run db:migrate
cp .env.example .env # fill in the URLs it printed, plus R2_*, SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET
bun run dev
scripts/dev-env.sh uses docker-compose.yml when a Docker daemon is
answering, and falls back to the same two services from apt when there is no
usable container runtime - some sandboxes cannot run Docker at all, because
dockerd needs CAP_NET_ADMIN for its bridge and user namespaces to unpack an
image, and neither can be granted from inside. scripts/dev-env.sh status
says which backend is in use.
Schema changes go through migrations: edit src/db/schema/, run
bun run db:generate, and commit the file it writes to drizzle/ along with
the schema change. scripts/dev-env.sh push reshapes a local database straight
from the schema with no migration file, which is faster while a table is still
moving but records nothing and will drop a column to make things match - so
generate before committing. drizzle/0000_*.sql creates the vector extension
itself; that line is hand-added, since drizzle-kit does not emit extension
statements and the migration would otherwise only apply to a database somebody
had already prepared.
Test
bun test # unit + protocol contract tests, no services needed
scripts/e2e-edge.sh # the whole edge path: real database, real printers
scripts/e2e-edge.sh seeds a farm, claims its printers, mints an edge token,
runs the real continuum-proxy against this backend, and asserts that live
telemetry reached Postgres and that a command reached a printer. It only ever
sends a fan speed, and only to a printer reporting IDLE.
scripts/capture-gateway-frames.js is the smaller tool: it stands in for this
backend and records what a gateway sends, for refreshing the fixtures in
tests/fixtures/.

Valkey, not Redis: Redis 7.4+ is RSALv2/SSPL and 8.0+ adds AGPLv3, none of
which a commercial product can ship. Valkey is BSD-3-Clause and speaks the
same RESP protocol, so ioredis is unchanged - only the server differs. See
continuum-common/docs/LICENSES.md. docker-compose.yml here brings up
Valkey and Postgres+pgvector for local development.
src/routes/-/auth,/farms,/printers,/jobs, and the edge-gateway WebSocket at/ws/edge/v1. That route's wire format is not defined here: it isschemas/continuum/v1/edge/in continuum-schemas, validated through its TypeBox mirror in@continuum/ts-types, because both ends of it are separate programs in different languages and they had already drifted apart once.printers.gateway_printer_idis what maps a gateway's own printer ids ("p1p") onto rows here; telemetry for an unclaimed id is logged and skipped, never inserted.
frame_embeddings.embedding requires the vector extension. The first
migration creates it, and scripts/dev-env.sh up also does so for the push
path, which does not run migrations.
Dependency pins
elysia, @sinclair/typebox and the drizzle-* packages are pinned tightly
on purpose, not out of caution. Caret ranges here resolved into a combination
that could not boot: elysia: ^1.1.26 installed 1.4.30, which calls
t.Module and so needs TypeBox >=0.34, while drizzle-typebox: ^0.2.1
installed a version whose peers demand drizzle-orm >=0.36 against the
^0.33.0 pinned here. Typechecking passed throughout - only starting the
server failed. tests/dependency_identity.test.ts guards the part of this that
can silently come back.
