# CLI Cloud Platform Skill

Use this skill to operate a real CLI Cloud workspace. The platform path is
discovery-led: authenticate, read the workspace's live contract, choose the
right surface, run the operation, then prove the result through canonical
readback. A workflow is complete only when the user can see the created or
changed resource, understand billing posture, recover from failure, and clean
up anything temporary.

## Fast Path

For most humans and agents, start like this:

1. Install the organization-owned CLI with `npm install --global @clicloud/cli`.
2. Run `clicloud login`.
3. Run `clicloud whoami` to confirm the workspace.
4. Run `clicloud connect` if you are wiring Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code.
5. Deploy or inspect through the CLI, hosted MCP, browser app, or public API.
6. Re-read the service, logs, readiness, and billing state before claiming success.
7. Delete or destroy temporary resources when finished.

For application code or remote-agent automation, install the importable typed
client with `npm install @clicloud/sdk`; it shares the CLI's public contracts
without installing another executable.

If you get lost, use one simple rule: log in once with `clicloud login`,
let local CLI and local MCP reuse that saved login, and only issue an API key
when the agent is remote, headless, or calling the API directly.

Humans and agents use the same workspace access. Browser approval, saved login,
and imported API keys are just different transports for that one identity
plane.

## OLED Display Runtime

The reusable OLED visualization capability is published by `@maui/ui` at
`@maui/ui/visualization/oled-display`. Use `OledDisplay` with a validated
`cli-cloud.oled-scene.v1` recipe for login, panels, cards, buttons, and full
backgrounds. Import the optional Studio/reference catalog from
`@maui/ui/visualization/oled-display/examples`; it is not enabled implicitly.
The standalone authoring jig is built with `pnpm --filter @maui/ui
build:studio` and emits one redistributable `dist/oled-studio.html` file.

## Public Contract

- App: `https://app.clicloud.co`
- Backend base: `https://app.clicloud.co/backend`
- Public API prefix: `/api/public/...`
- Hosted MCP: discover through `GET` or `POST /api/public/connect-config`
- CLI package: `@clicloud/cli`; executable: `clicloud`
- SDK package: `@clicloud/sdk`; importable typed client for application and
  remote-agent automation
- Agent discovery index: `https://app.clicloud.co/llms.txt`
- Client LLM gateway base: `https://app.clicloud.co/llm/v1`
- Task recipes: `GET` or `POST /api/public/agent/task-recipes/list`

Choose the surface by the job:

- **CLI** for normal shell operation, login, deploy, observe, billing, and
  cleanup.
- **Hosted MCP** when an agent needs typed tools for deployment, billing,
  source, service, runtime, and feedback work.
- **Browser app** when a human is already signed in or has just approved the
  `clicloud login` browser/device flow.
- **Public API** when building a direct integration or a script that cannot use
  CLI/MCP.
- **Client LLM gateway** only for model requests through CLI Cloud's
  OpenAI-compatible gateway.

Keep user-facing output in CLI Cloud product language. Show platform-owned
public URLs, public error ids, and route-level next actions. Leave provider
hosts, platform secrets, internal runtime refs, cluster internals, local file
paths, and low-level billing adapters out of user output.

## Operating Order

1. Authenticate through `clicloud login`; browser approval and API-key import
   are the two supported ways to mint or refresh the same saved workspace
   credential.
2. Read `auth/session`, `bootstrap`, `connect-config`, and `capabilities`.
3. Follow `bootstrap.nextActions` and `connect-config.taskRecipes` before
   broad exploration.
4. Read balance, governance, payment status, and quota before billable work.
5. Preview or validate the deployment plan before mutation.
6. Apply with a bounded spend expectation after preview or validation. Missing
   user-provided runtime env can create a setup-required service while the
   runtime object waits for configuration.
7. Re-read the created service. If status is `pending_completion` or deployment
   status is `setup_required`, add the listed required env through the service
   owner, then start the service through `POST /api/public/services/restart`.
   This setup-required start re-enters deployment apply; `services/resume` is
   only for previously suspended services.
8. Read readiness, URL or endpoint state, logs/events, stats, billing activity,
   and cleanup controls before claiming the deployment is usable.
9. Mutate env, resources, topology, domains, scale, or lifecycle through the
   service owner and re-read after each mutation.
10. Use feedback with JSONL evidence for proven platform issues.
11. Delete or destroy disposable resources and confirm cleanup readback before
    ending a test or agent-run workflow.

If a readback says the capability, route, tool, payment option, or workspace
scope is unavailable, treat that response as current owner truth. Choose a
supported path or report the exact blocker with public request identifiers.

## Authentication

There is one auth story for humans, agents, CLI, MCP, and API work:
`clicloud login` is the front door, a human approves once in the browser when
needed, and the resulting saved workspace credential is reused across the
normal product surfaces. Direct API calls from an already-approved browser
workflow and copied API keys are fallback transports for that same workspace
access, not parallel setup systems.

### CLI Device Login

Use this first for agent and shell workflows:

```bash
clicloud login
clicloud login [--workspace <workspace-slug>]
clicloud connect [--client <claude-code|cursor|vscode>] [--install] [--dry-run] [--force]
clicloud whoami
clicloud auth status
clicloud --print-config
```

The login flow opens a browser verification URL, asks the user to authorize
once, and stores one workspace credential for CLI, MCP, and API reuse.
`clicloud login` is the preferred front door because it saves the shared
workspace credential, discovers the current setup guidance, and leaves the next
CLI or MCP step visible. Continue with the saved credential after approval
instead of asking the user to paste secrets into chat. Run `clicloud connect`
right after login when the next step is installing CLI Cloud in Claude Code,
Cursor, or VS Code; it prints the workspace's canonical per-client install
blocks and one-click install links.
Use `clicloud whoami` for the human readback of the active workspace, and use
`clicloud auth status` when a machine-readable JSON credential check is
needed. If the saved credential fails, run `clicloud login` again.

### Browser Approval And Direct API Transport

For human-assisted flows, sign in at `https://app.clicloud.co` or approve the
verification URL opened by `clicloud login`. If a workflow is already running
through that approved browser surface and must call the public API directly,
reuse that approved session instead of creating a second login story.

Headless and direct public API requests use:

- `Authorization: Bearer <api-key>`
- `Content-Type: application/json`

Create a scoped workspace key in Settings -> API Keys and import it with
`clicloud login --token <api-key>` when CLI or MCP should reuse it. An
already-approved browser workflow may send its session token through the same
Bearer header; that is browser-session reuse, not the direct API onboarding
story. Prefer typed CLI, MCP, or SDK helpers so route bodies match the current
contract. The backend always fences the requested workspace and operation
scope against the authenticated actor.

Device-auth and session routes:

```http
POST /api/public/auth/device/start
POST /api/public/auth/device/poll
POST /api/public/auth/session
POST /api/public/auth/signout
```

### API Keys

Use one workspace API key as the headless form of the same workspace
credential. The preferred path is still `clicloud login` because it refreshes
the saved credential, discovers the current setup guidance, and leaves the
workspace ready for the next task after browser/device approval.

Headless fallback:

```bash
clicloud login --token <api-key> [--workspace <workspace-slug>]
```

API-key lifecycle routes:

```http
POST /api/public/api-keys/issue
POST /api/public/api-keys/list
POST /api/public/api-keys/rotate
POST /api/public/api-keys/revoke
```

Use issued keys as `Authorization: Bearer <api-key>`. For hosted MCP or normal
deploy work, start with `deployment.write`; it covers deploy, operation, and
cleanup of workspace services. Use broader scopes only when the workflow needs
billing, API-key lifecycle, or admin review. Keep secrets out of chat and logs,
and revoke keys when the actor no longer needs access.

### Client LLM Gateway

Use only the CLI Cloud client gateway contract for model requests:

- Base URL: `https://app.clicloud.co/llm/v1`
- Auth header: `Authorization: Bearer <client-gateway-key>`
- Model: `qwen3.6-35b-a3b-int4`
- Single prompt: `POST /chat/completions`
- Batch prompts: `POST /batches`
- Batch polling: `GET /batches/{batch_id}`

## Live Discovery

Read these before acting in a workspace:

```http
POST /api/public/auth/session
POST /api/public/bootstrap
GET or POST /api/public/connect-config
GET or POST /api/public/agent/task-recipes/list
GET or POST /api/public/capabilities
```

Use the responses for current workspace identity, recommended next actions,
task recipes, hosted MCP URL and auth mode, CLI/MCP setup guidance, route
families, optional capabilities, billing, quota, and top-up availability. When
the primary next action is not enough, use the task-recipe list instead of
crawling docs or raw tool inventories.

## Private GitHub Repositories

Connect private repositories through the workspace-owned GitHub App flow. Do
not ask a user for an installation id, repository id, personal access token, or
reusable GitHub credential.

```bash
clicloud source connection github connect
clicloud source connection github status --setup <setup-id>
clicloud source connection github complete \
  --setup <setup-id> \
  --repository-id <verified-repository-id>
clicloud source connection github list
clicloud source connection github update \
  --connection <connection-id> \
  --deploy-mode on_push|after_checks|off
```

`connect` returns a short-lived CLI Cloud URL for the workspace administrator
to open. After GitHub installation and approval, `status` returns only the
repositories GitHub verified for that installation. Select one returned
repository with `complete`; then use the resulting connection in the deploy
source step. Use `--branch <name>` only to pin a branch. Set
`--deploy-mode on_push|after_checks|off` during `complete`, or use `update`
later to change when the connected deployment rebuilds without reconnecting
the repository.

The same lifecycle is available through the SDK, hosted MCP tools
`sources.connections.github.setup.start`,
`sources.connections.github.setup.read`, and
`sources.connections.github.setup.complete`. Post-setup policy changes use
`sources.connections.github.update`. The public API routes are:

```http
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/setup/start
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/setup/read
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/setup/complete
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/list
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/update
POST /api/public/source-connections/github/remove
```

Treat `failed` and `expired` setup states as terminal. Start a fresh setup,
re-authorize only the required repositories, and remove disposable connections
after testing.

## Billing And Credits

Read billing state before billable work:

```http
POST /api/public/billing/balance
POST /api/public/billing/activity
POST /api/public/billing/governance
POST /api/public/billing/governance/apply
POST /api/public/billing/plans
POST /api/public/billing/payment-status
```

Choose the enabled option from payment status `paymentOptions`.
`credit-balance` is the normal spendable balance. If `hosted-checkout` is
enabled, prepare checkout directly and open the returned CLI Cloud redirect. If
`wallet-payment` is enabled, quote first, submit or prepare the returned wallet
action, then wait for settlement readback and reconciliation.
Hosted checkout top-ups use the direct checkout prepare path; do not call the
wallet quote route first when hosted checkout is the enabled payment option.
Wallet payment top-ups use the quote/session fields and selected payment
option, network, and source asset; users and agents should not select a
low-level payment path.

```http
POST /api/public/billing/top-up/hosted-checkout/prepare
POST /api/public/billing/top-up/quote
POST /api/public/billing/top-up/browser-settlement/prepare
POST /api/public/billing/top-up/settlement-evidence/readback
POST /api/public/billing/top-up/settlement-transaction/submit
POST /api/public/billing/top-up
POST /api/public/billing/settlement-reconciliations/list
```

CLI path:

```bash
clicloud billing balance
clicloud billing governance
clicloud billing governance apply --json '{"topUpEnabled":true}'
clicloud billing payment-status
clicloud billing topup --workspace <workspace-slug> --credits 500
clicloud billing checkout --workspace <workspace-slug> --usd 5.00
clicloud billing quote --workspace <workspace-slug> --usd 5.00 --network <network> --source-asset <asset>
clicloud billing topup --raw-wallet --workspace <workspace-slug> --usd 5.00 --network <network> --source-asset <asset> --payer-wallet-file <path>
clicloud billing settlements --workspace <workspace-slug>
clicloud billing quota <intent-ref> --workspace <workspace-slug>
```

Use `billing.governance.get` and `billing.governance.apply` for the equivalent
typed MCP path. Governance apply is a patch: omitted fields remain unchanged,
`quotaOverrides: null` restores plan defaults, and a quota override object
replaces the complete override set. The plan is platform-owned and is not a
mutation choice.

`billing topup --credits` is the normal CLI path and prepares hosted checkout.
Use `--raw-wallet` only for the advanced wallet signing and settlement path.
The returned checkout URL remains under the CLI Cloud API boundary; follow it
in a browser, then run the returned `billing payment-status` command.

Credits are granted only after settlement succeeds. Granted, included,
promotional, and paid top-up credits are all normal CLI Cloud credits.
Long-running workloads consume credits until stopped, exhausted, or capped. The
payment route is the enabled network and settlement state returned by
`clicloud billing payment-status`; do not infer mainnet availability from this
document. If payment fails, read activity and settlement reconciliation before
retrying.

## Deployments

CLI Cloud accepts source repositories, archives, registry images, catalog
templates, Helm charts, workload manifests, and existing deployment config
files. Existing config files are setup evidence for one CLI Cloud deployment
plan; they are not separate runtime lanes. Preview/inspect should surface
ports, env, managed resources, generated secrets, lifecycle commands, service
graph, billing impact, and missing user input before apply.

Canonical repo config model:

- `clicloud.json` and `clicloud.toml` are the native CLI Cloud repo config
  files. They describe one deployment plan with one vocabulary.
- `railway.toml`, `railway.json`, `fly.toml`, `vercel.json`, `render.yaml`,
  and Compose files are import-compatible evidence, not separate CLI Cloud
  runtime lanes.
- Public platform/domain facts live in the repo root `clicloud.config.json`;
  that file is for CLI Cloud itself, not for an app being deployed on it.

Common CLI paths:

```bash
clicloud up [path]
clicloud up [path] --dry-run
clicloud config init [--path <dir>] [--format toml|json]
clicloud config render [--path <dir>] [--format toml|json]
clicloud config validate [--path <dir>]
clicloud deploy --image <image> --name <name> --port <port>
clicloud source preview --repo <owner/repo> --name <name>
clicloud source deploy --repo <owner/repo> --name <name>
clicloud source preview --archive-file <path.zip> --name <name>
clicloud source deploy --archive-file <path.zip> --name <name>
clicloud templates list
clicloud templates show <template-id-or-slug> [--version <version>]
clicloud templates deploy <template-id> --name <service> [--version <version>]
clicloud services
clicloud service <intent-ref>
clicloud readiness <intent-ref>
clicloud observe <intent-ref>
clicloud logs <intent-ref>
clicloud events <intent-ref>
clicloud destroy <intent-ref>
```

Template catalog reads are free and expose the selected version, attribution,
availability, defaults, and popularity window. `templates deploy` is the one
canonical marketplace mutation: it returns an admission receipt, so read
`clicloud readiness <intent-ref>` before treating the service as ready.
The equivalent MCP tools are `marketplace.templates.list`,
`marketplace.templates.show`, and `marketplace.templates.deploy`.

For a local project, start with `clicloud up`. It packages the selected
directory, excludes dependencies, ignored files, secrets, and symlinks, then
uses the same source-analysis and deployment owner as repository and archive
deployments. Add generated or unnecessary paths to `.clicloudignore`. Use
`--dry-run` to inspect the exact packaged project without creating a deployment
intent or applying runtime changes. A successful repository or archive preview
consumes one source-analysis credit; image preview and all preview-status reads
are unmetered. Billing activity is the canonical debit readback.

`up` is safe to retry with the same directory and deployment name: the archive,
source materialization, apply operation, and usage debit use one stable
idempotency identity. An accepted apply receipt means the deployment is queued,
not that it is ready. Read `clicloud readiness <intent-ref>` first, then use
logs or a service readback when the receipt reports progress; rerun the same
command only to converge on that durable deployment receipt.

Use `clicloud readiness <intent-ref> --wait 180000` when a human or agent
wants one bounded wait for the terminal readiness state. It does not perform a
second deployment operation; it repeatedly reads the same backend readiness
projection and returns the last state when the bound expires.

Readiness also returns the canonical deployment billing outcome: the current
estimate, exact customer-ledger charge, linked refunds/reversals, and the next
fund-or-apply action when no charge exists. Use this object from API, SDK, MCP,
or CLI automation; never infer a deployment charge from workspace balance
changes. Provider cost evidence remains an internal operator concern.

For one-off runtime commands, use `clicloud exec <intent-ref> -- <command...>`
or `clicloud stream <intent-ref> -- <command...>` through the canonical CLI.

Public deployment routes:

```http
POST /api/public/deployment-intents
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/validate
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/render
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/readiness
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/apply
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/get
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/list
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/observe
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/events
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/logs
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/stats
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/exec
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/suspend
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/resume
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/recover
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/destroy
```

Source build routes:

```http
POST /api/public/sources/deployment-plan/preview
POST /api/public/sources/deployment-plan/preview/status
POST /api/public/sources/manifest/inspect
POST /api/public/sources/materialize
POST /api/public/sources/materialize/status
```

Pending source operations retain lifecycle `status` as `queued` or `running`
and expose advisory `progress.stage` as `queued`, `preparing_source`,
`analyzing_source`, or `building_image`. Follow the terminal status rather than
treating a progress stage as completion.

One-off deployment job routes:

```http
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run/replay
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run/list
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run/status
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run/logs
POST /api/public/deployment-jobs/run/cancel
```

One-off deployment job CLI path:

```bash
clicloud jobs run <intent-ref> -- <command...>
clicloud jobs run --repo owner/repository --ref main --dockerfile Dockerfile --context . --gpu 1 -- <command...>
clicloud jobs run --input <source.json|-> -- <command...>
clicloud jobs replay <run-id> --idempotency-key <key>
clicloud jobs cancel [<intent-ref>] <run-id>
```

`--repo` is the typed GitHub source path. `--input` accepts the same typed
image, GitHub, or ZIP source contract from a JSON file or stdin. `--gpu`
requests a generic GPU count; placement stays owned by the runtime instead of
encoding provider-specific GPU classes in this standalone job surface.

Direct deploy calls from an already-approved browser workflow:

- Use this path when a human is already signed in, or when the user approved
  browser/device auth for the current agent session.
- Use `Authorization: Bearer <session-token>` only as the transport header for
  that existing approved session against the same `/api/public/...` source,
  template, deployment, service, billing, and cleanup routes.
- Before the first mutating deploy call, read `POST /api/public/auth/session`,
  `POST /api/public/bootstrap`, and `POST /api/public/connect-config`.
- Do not label a workspace API key as a browser-session token. For headless
  automation, use `clicloud login --token <api-key>` or the API-key route
  contract returned by `POST /api/public/connect-config`.
- The proof obligations are identical to API-key and MCP deploys: validate or
  preview first, apply with a spend boundary, complete setup-required env when
  service readback asks for it, then read readiness, service state, public URL,
  logs, billing activity, and cleanup.

Deploy checkpoints:

- Inspect before mutation when deploying manifests, source, archives, or
  imported deployment config.
- Treat missing ports, env, values, credentials, DNS records, and quota prompts
  as required user input. When apply returns `setup_required` or the service
  reads as `pending_completion`, the deployment record exists and may already
  have a runtimeRef; add the listed values through `services/env/apply`, then
  start it with `services/restart`. Do not use `services/resume` unless the
  service is suspended.
- Re-read the plan, service, or operation after each mutation before issuing
  the next one.
- After apply, hand off to service readback. Do not stop at an accepted apply
  response; confirm service identity, status, URL or endpoint state, readiness,
  logs/events, spend posture, and cleanup controls.
- Present only platform-owned public URLs to the user.
- For MCP agents, use `sources.preview` when plan review is needed, then
  `sources.materialize` and `intent.apply` for mutation through the canonical
  deployment owner. Preview is advisory: materialization re-reads the source
  and does not consume a prior preview receipt. Read any exact terminal or
  active state with `sources.materialize.status`; the CLI equivalent is
  `clicloud source status --materialization-id <id>`. A queued or running build
  can be stopped with `sources.materialize.cancel`. If cancellation response
  is lost, read status before taking further action. After the CLI receives a
  source ID, Ctrl-C requests the same remote cancellation and exits with code
  130.
- For one-off commands against an existing deployed app image, use
  `deployment.jobs.run`, then read `deployment.jobs.status`,
  `deployment.jobs.logs`, and `deployment.jobs.list`; use
  `deployment.jobs.replay` to rerun an exact durable receipt and
  `deployment.jobs.cancel` for active runs. The same run owner accepts an
  existing deployment reference or a typed image, GitHub, or ZIP source. Bound
  the command, deadline, TTL, env overrides, GPU count, idempotency key, and
  expected spend before starting. Do not use this path for saved scheduled
  jobs; scheduled job runs stay under `services/run`, CLI `services run`, and
  MCP `service.run`.

## Services And Runtime

Manage existing services through the service owner:

```http
POST /api/public/services/list
POST /api/public/services/get
POST /api/public/services/env/apply
POST /api/public/services/scale
POST /api/public/services/resources/update
POST /api/public/services/billing/update
POST /api/public/services/restart
POST /api/public/services/run
POST /api/public/services/suspend
POST /api/public/services/resume
POST /api/public/services/delete
POST /api/public/services/domains/attach
POST /api/public/services/domains/verify
POST /api/public/services/domains/delete
POST /api/public/services/topology/attach
POST /api/public/services/topology/update
POST /api/public/services/topology/detach
POST /api/public/services/topology/snapshot
```

Runtime routes:

```http
POST /api/public/runtime/session
POST /api/public/runtime-events/checkpoints
POST /api/public/runtime-events/replay-summary
POST /api/public/runtime-metrics/deployment
```

Run a short agent job with an explicit execution deadline and cleanup TTL, then
follow its durable receipt:

```bash
clicloud worker run --image alpine:3.20 --deadline-seconds 300 --ttl-seconds 600 -- sh -lc 'your-command'
clicloud worker status <run-id>
clicloud worker logs <run-id> --tail 100
clicloud worker cancel <run-id>
```

Use a deadline for every untrusted or experimental command. Status is canonical
readback; the accepted run receipt is not completion.

Create a persistent Agent Space, wait for canonical readiness readback, then run
bounded work in that space:

```bash
clicloud spaces create --name research --image node:22-bookworm --repo https://github.com/acme/research.git --ref main --devcontainer-path .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
clicloud spaces get <intent-ref>
clicloud spaces exec <intent-ref> -- sh -lc 'your-command'
clicloud spaces run <intent-ref> --deadline-seconds 300 --ttl-seconds 600 -- sh -lc 'your-command'
clicloud spaces status <run-id>
clicloud spaces logs <run-id> --tail 100
clicloud spaces cancel <run-id>
clicloud spaces stop <intent-ref>
clicloud spaces start <intent-ref>
clicloud spaces rebuild <intent-ref>
clicloud spaces delete <intent-ref> --confirm-space <intent-ref>
```

Direct API and SDK consumers can discover the complete Agent Space lifecycle
contract as OpenAPI 3.1:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/agent-spaces.json
```

The document deliberately covers only Agent Space create, list, get, and
lifecycle transition operations. It does not imply that every CLI Cloud API
family is already projected into OpenAPI.

GitHub source connections and source deployment have separate scoped OpenAPI
3.1 documents:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/source-connections.json
GET /api/public/openapi/source-deployments.json
```

The source deployment document covers materialization, cancellation, status,
and plan preview. Deployment-intent apply remains a separate operation.

Deployment-job create, replay, cancellation, list, status, and bounded-log
readback share one scoped OpenAPI 3.1 document:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/deployment-jobs.json
```

Create and replay require `deployment.apply` and are metered. Cancellation
requires `deployment.write` and is not metered. List, status, and logs require
`deployment.read` and are not metered. The document projects the same typed
source, replay receipt, and lifecycle contracts used by the CLI, SDK, MCP, and
public API.

Workspace credit balance and bounded recent billing activity have a separate
non-metered trust document:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/billing-trust.json
```

These reads require `billing.read`. Funding, settlement, governance, and
provider-cost operations are deliberately outside this scoped document.

Hosted credit checkout preparation has a separate scoped mutation document:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/billing-checkout.json
```

The operation requires `billing.manage` for API keys or an owner/admin browser
session. It returns a platform-owned relative redirect path; agents never need
provider credentials or a provider hostname. Balance, activity, settlement,
governance, and provider-cost operations remain outside this document.

Service restart, suspend, resume, delete, and durable receipt readback share a
separate scoped lifecycle document:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/service-lifecycle.json
```

Lifecycle mutations require `deployment.write`; operation-status readback
requires `deployment.read`. Browser sessions and API keys use the same public
routes and canonical receipt owner. Deployed services normally return an
accepted operation receipt to poll, while serverless services may return the
completed service state synchronously. Treat admission as pending until the
receipt is terminal, and confirm deletion through service readback.

The complete serverless endpoint and invocation lifecycle has one scoped
OpenAPI 3.1 document:

```http
GET /api/public/openapi/serverless-invocations.json
```

It covers endpoint list, get, and upsert; stable URL invocation; asynchronous
and bounded synchronous runs; reconnect discovery; status; ordered stream
readback; and cancellation. The schemas and route metadata are generated from
the same shared owners used by the API, SDK, CLI, and MCP tools.

Use `spaces exec` for one foreground process: stdin is forwarded, stdout and
stderr remain separate and pipeable, and the CLI returns the remote exit code.
It does not allocate a terminal by default; add `--tty` only for an interactive
program running from a real terminal. Use `--no-stdin` when the command must not
read local input. Foreground streams deliberately reject `--json`.

Use `spaces run` for durable asynchronous work that must survive the invoking
process and retain status, logs, cancellation, retry, billing, and replay
receipts. `exec` and `run` are different lifecycle contracts.

Create, start, stop, rebuild, and delete return operation receipts. Poll `spaces get`
until the requested state is visible; admission is not completion. Deletion
requires the exact Agent Space reference as confirmation.
`--repo` currently accepts public HTTPS GitHub repositories. The repository is
materialized into persistent `/workspace` before readiness; stop/start and
bounded runs do not replace user changes. Private repository materialization
remains unavailable until workspace artifacts have tenant-scoped registry
authorization.
Use `spaces rebuild` to retry a failed initial build or prepare the saved Dev
Container environment again. It creates a new source generation on the same
Space and preserves `/workspace`; it does not pull repository changes into an
existing working tree. Pass `--idempotency-key <key>` and reuse that key when
retrying the same request.
`--devcontainer-path` explicitly opts into the repository's declared image,
non-secret container environment, and one build-time `updateContentCommand`.
CLI Cloud prepares only `/workspace`; runtime hooks, privilege, mounts, network
overrides, Compose, Features, Dockerfile builds, and secret interpolation fail
closed rather than changing Space policy.
Build-time dependency setup can use public HTTP and HTTPS plus platform DNS;
Git-over-SSH, custom dependency ports, public UDP, and private or metadata
destinations are blocked. Use HTTPS package and Git sources.

Domain and topology checkpoints:

- `services/domains/attach` returns required DNS records. Show the CNAME and
  TXT host/value pairs exactly as returned.
- Verify domains only after the user confirms records were created or after DNS
  readback can plausibly see them. A `dns_pending` domain is not ready.
- Database recovery stays under the topology owner: create an on-demand restore
  point with `clicloud topology snapshot <ref> <database-resource-id>`, read its
  sanitized `databaseSnapshots` inventory with `clicloud service <ref>`, then
  restore into a new database resource with
  `clicloud topology attach <ref> --type database --engine <engine> --restore-from-snapshot <name>`.
  Poll service readback until the new resource is ready; never treat snapshot
  admission alone as a completed restore.
- After `services/domains/verify`, re-read the service before claiming a custom
  domain is active.
- After topology attach, poll `services/get` until the resource handle is ready
  before dependent operations.
- For services with `status: "pending_completion"` or
  `deploymentStatus: "setup_required"`, complete required env with
  `services/env/apply`, then call `services/restart`. The UI labels this action
  "Start service" because it completes setup and reapplies the deployment; it
  is not a lifecycle resume.
- For services with `workloadRole: "job"`, use `POST /api/public/services/run`,
  CLI `clicloud services run <intent-ref>`, or MCP `service.run` to start one
  immediate run from the saved scheduled-job template. Use restart for standing
  services, not scheduled jobs.

## Guest And Claim

Guest deployment uses the same deployment owner path with a temporary claim
boundary:

```http
POST /api/public/guest/deployment-intents
POST /api/public/guest/deployment-intents/claim
POST /api/public/guest/deployment-intents/destroy
```

Claim requires the one-time claim token. Replayed claims must fail cleanly.
After claim, operate through normal service and deployment routes.

## API Endpoints And AI Workers

Use endpoint and AI worker routes only when live capabilities expose endpoint
invocation for the workspace.

Preferred invocation path:

```http
POST https://functions.clicloud.co/<workspace>/<endpoint>
```

Endpoint readback may include `invoke.url`; use that returned URL instead of
fabricating one from the endpoint id. The `functions.clicloud.co` URL is the customer/agent-facing invoke path. The `/api/public/serverless/*` routes below are the public control-plane management and readback owner for the same capability.

```http
POST /api/public/serverless/endpoints/list
POST /api/public/serverless/endpoints/get
POST /api/public/serverless/endpoints/upsert
POST /api/public/serverless/invoke
POST /api/public/serverless/run
POST /api/public/serverless/runsync
POST /api/public/serverless/status
POST /api/public/serverless/cancel
POST /api/public/serverless/stream
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/chat/completions
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/serverless/runsync
POST /api/public/deployment-intents/serverless/status
```

CLI path:

```bash
clicloud endpoint endpoints
clicloud endpoint invoke --endpoint <endpoint-id>
clicloud endpoint runsync --endpoint <endpoint-id>
clicloud endpoint status --job <job-id>
clicloud endpoint stream --job <job-id>
clicloud endpoint cancel --job <job-id>
```

Current endpoint/worker support is endpoint invocation and readback for
configured API endpoints or AI workers. It is not a deployable serverless
function product. If invoke or runsync returns `202`, follow
`readback.statusRequest` until terminal state, then read billing activity.

## MCP Usage

Preferred setup:

1. Run `clicloud login`.
2. Run `clicloud --print-config` to inspect redacted local state.
3. Start the MCP server with `clicloud`, or use hosted MCP details returned by
   `POST /api/public/connect-config`.
4. Call `clicloud tools` or the MCP tool list before selecting a tool.

Use hosted MCP when an agent needs typed tools for deployment, runtime,
billing, source, service, and feedback operations. Use CLI shortcuts when the
task is a normal shell workflow. Use raw HTTP when integrating without the MCP
or CLI layer.

## Feedback

Submit proven bugs, support tickets, or agent-run evidence through JSONL. API,
CLI, and MCP submissions use the JSONL routes below. In the browser,
`/feedback` opens the signed-in Account feedback form.

Browser-session route:

```http
POST /api/public/feedback
```

API-key route:

```http
POST /api/feedback
```

Body pattern:

```json
{
  "userId": "github:123456",
  "workspaceSlug": "example-workspace",
  "source": "agent",
  "clientRequestId": "feedback-001",
  "metadata": {
    "trigger": "deployment-apply-failed"
  },
  "jsonl": "{\"event\":\"error\",\"message\":\"deployment apply failed\",\"code\":\"deployment_apply_failed\"}\n{\"event\":\"http\",\"status\":503,\"path\":\"/api/public/deployment-intents/apply\"}"
}
```

`jsonl` is the evidence contract: one valid JSON object per non-empty line. Use
`clientRequestId` for retry dedupe. Keep platform secrets, low-level internals,
and user secrets out of feedback unless the authenticated workspace
intentionally supplied them and the support context requires them.

## Recovery

Treat failures as state readback:

- `401`: authenticate again.
- `403`: wrong actor, workspace, or scope.
- `402`: insufficient credits or billing admission failure.
- `404`: missing, deleted, or already-cleaned resource.
- `409`: state conflict or duplicate logical mutation.
- `400` or `422`: invalid request contract.

When a response includes an `errorId`, `correlationId`, or `requestId`, keep
that identifier with the user's support or feedback note. Show the public error
message and next action. Always re-read the canonical resource after a
mutation, use idempotency keys for retries of the same logical billing
operation, and clean up temporary resources when the task ends.
