zip projects every TYPED op — zip.Get[In, Out] and friends — into REST, OpenAPI, MCP tools, the CLI and eight generated SDKs from ONE registry entry. A raw app.Get(path, func(*zip.Ctx) error) serves the same bytes and reaches none of them: it publishes an operationId and nothing else, so the SDK method cannot explain itself and the CLI command has no help text. Every route on /v1/platform was raw. All 32 are now ops, and NONE stays raw — not one of them streams, serves bytes, redirects a browser, or speaks a third party's protocol, so not one of them had a reason to. The wire is unchanged, and that is the whole claim: same paths, same JSON field names, same status codes, same refusal sentences. converted_test.go is the proof rather than the assertion — it walks every converted route asserting status and the exact set of JSON keys a client's decoder binds, and the SAME FILE passes against the pre-conversion tree. The expectations were read off the old c.JSON(status, …) calls, so it is a regression test and not a mirror. WHAT THE CONTRACT GAINED. The subset went from 9 published schemas to 43: every route's real input and output is now in the document instead of an unnamed body a generator had to guess at. Three statuses the routes have always sent became sayable — 201 on create, 202 on deploy/preview/promote/rollback/run/runner, 204 on the two deletes — where zip previously had no vocabulary for them and the document said 200 about a route that has never sent one. Two routes answer with their own status because the ANSWER states it: /v1/platform/health is 200 or 503 carrying the real reason as a typed body, and add-domain is 201 for a claim it created or 200 for an idempotent re-add. Both declare their set, so a generated client expects what the service sends. THE PROSE MOVED, IT DID NOT CHANGE. ~340 lines of openapi.Register/Describe — a SECOND source that had to be edited in lockstep with the router and, being second, could not be — are gone. The same sentences are now doc comments on the handlers they describe, lifted by zipdoc into zipdoc_gen.go, which is the only road prose travels to the document, the tool list, the SDKs and the CLI. FOUR NAMES YIELDED, because the fleet's schema namespace is FLAT and single-valued: one name, one shape, wherever two apps meet, or every generated SDK binds whichever it read last. buildView and pipelineView are published by apps/agents and apps/world, healthView by apps/compliance, and Drift by apps/plugins with an entirely different shape. Platform's were not published, so platform's yield — the rule apps/templates followed when its Template became a StarterKit — each to a word its own doc comment already used: the console projections are rows on a board, and Drift is the verdict it says it is. The JSON field is still `drift`; only the Go type is renamed. fqdn.Record collides with apps/projects and was left alone: it is the same type, so the shapes are identical and the weave accepts it. THE GATE MOVED, IT DID NOT CHANGE. cloud.Guard wraps a zip.Handler, and a typed op has none — it receives a context and its decoded In. So the fleet board's cloud.Admin/cloud.Super gate is now the first line inside each op (board.admit), applying the same Scope.Admits over the same AuthorityOf. gate.go gains ONE exported method for it: Scope.Refusal, the 403 Guard itself now returns, so the two forms of the one gate cannot answer differently and the refusal sentence stays derived from the scope rather than written at a call site. It is a METHOD and not a function taking a Scope because Refuse already names the 402 every spend gate renders — two refusals that mean different things do not share a name. An In field is never a tenant key: the org comes from the validated principal, so cross-tenant identifiers remain structurally not inputs. The three cloud.Request call sites are declared in allowedRequestUses with their reason — this plane SPENDS the caller's identity (the run fee, the audit actor) rather than only reading it, and /v1/runner authorizes on a shared credential no org can express. No middleware is installed here. cloud.Bridge belongs to whoever composes the app, and the tests compose their own. Tests: the full apps/platform suite is green on Linux, where the SQLCipher codec finds the RAM-backed scratch it fails closed without; the same suite cannot run on darwin without a tmpfs, before this change or after.

Hanzo Cloud
The Open AI Cloud as one deployment. Identity, secrets, data, AI, gateway, observability, and the console — 116 Hanzo-native subsystems behind one origin and one /v1, each its own binary, composed by a light host router through the plugin contract in HIP-0106.
The same artifact serves api.hanzo.ai, api.lux.cloud, api.zoo.cloud, api.osage.cloud, and every white-label reseller. Brand, enabled subsystems, and org scope are deployment configuration — one binary, one origin, no sidecars.
Quick start
# Run the unified binary. `:latest` to try it; pin a v1.x.y tag for anything real
# — the tags are cut per build, so any number written here is stale by tomorrow.
docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/hanzoai/cloud:latest
Open http://localhost:8080 for the embedded console; the API is served under /v1 on the same origin.
Build this repo's own client binary with go build ./cmd/hanzo — see below for what it
serves and what it delegates. It is NOT what curl -fsSL https://hanzo.sh | sh installs;
that gets the Rust CLI (hanzoai/cli), which is the primary hanzo on a developer's
machine and whose verbs are different.
What this is
hanzoai/cloud serves the whole API from one origin. cmd/cloud is the front door: it
links zip, the app manifest and the console embed — and nothing else. It knows only
where each app lives and what path it answers, never what the app does. Each subsystem
(iam, kms, base, gateway, ai, commerce, vfs, mq, dns, amqp, mcp, o11y, tasks, …) is its
own plugin/<name> binary serving its own prefixes through the same cloud.Listen
middleware it would serve standalone.
Apps start lazily, on the first request that reaches their prefix; the four that own
a listener or a background loop (pubsub, kafka, o11y, catalogsync) say so and
start with the host. That is what makes 116 subsystems affordable — an app nobody calls
costs a route entry and a struct, not a process and a resident set.
This was one fused process once, and that binary is gone: it linked every subsystem's
graph into a ~3105-package build, and apps.Wire() went with it.
The same deployment serves api.hanzo.ai, api.osage.cloud, api.lux.cloud,
api.zoo.cloud, and every white-label reseller. Brand, enabled subsystems, and org
scope are deployment configuration.
hanzo — cloud control CLI
cmd/hanzo is the client-only control binary: a thin client over Hanzo IAM
(hanzo.id), the platform control plane (platform.hanzo.ai/v1) and the cloud
/v1 API, inventing no parallel API. It cannot serve a subsystem — that is
cmd/cloud's job.
Two different programs answer to hanzo, and this is the one almost nobody has.
A developer installs the Rust CLI (hanzoai/cli) from hanzo.sh; it becomes their
hanzo, and it writes hanzo-node as a symlink to itself. THIS binary is the Go
control CLI, built from this repo. When it is the hanzo on a machine, a verb it does
not own is handed to whatever hanzo-node resolves to (cli.Passthrough), so the
single name is a superset of both — but that delegation runs in this direction only.
Read the verbs below as cmd/hanzo's, not as "what hanzo does": on a normal
developer machine hanzo login and hanzo deploy reach the Rust CLI, which has
neither, and it reads them as a task for the coding agent.
cli.IsControlVerb draws the line off the cobra command tree itself, so the router and
the tree cannot drift apart. The complete set it owns:
hanzo login # IAM password grant against hanzo.id → token in ~/.hanzo (0600)
hanzo logout
hanzo whoami # identity from the stored token (--verify hits IAM userinfo)
hanzo auth … # token / switch / status
hanzo apps list # platform apps board: declared/running/latest tag + drift + health
hanzo apps get <org>/<app>/<env> # one app row
hanzo deploy <container> --project <p> --env <e> # rolling, zero-downtime redeploy
hanzo clusters … # dedicated DOKS cluster lifecycle
hanzo build <repo> --sha <sha> --image <img> # platform-native (arcd/Kaniko) build, no GitHub builders
hanzo run <task> # one-off task on the platform
hanzo agent … | hanzo bot … # managed agents and bot nodes
hanzo engine … | hanzo runner … # local engine, and this machine as a CI runner
hanzo link | hanzo unlink # attach this machine to the fleet (`hanzo gpu connect` rides here)
hanzo security … # rules / scan
hanzo config set <k> <v> # ~/.hanzo/config preferences
hanzo version
hanzo completion bash|zsh|fish # shell completion for every verb above
Global flags: --org, -o/--output table|json, --platform-url, --iam-issuer,
--platform-token. Tokens resolve from flag → env → ~/.hanzo (never hardcoded):
the IAM user token is the identity; the platform control plane is service-token
authed (it cannot validate user tokens), so apps/deploy/clusters use
--platform-token / HANZO_PLATFORM_TOKEN / PLATFORM_SERVICE_TOKEN, and
build uses HANZO_BUILD_TOKEN / PLATFORM_BUILD_CALLBACK_TOKEN.
Install the Rust CLI: curl -fsSL https://hanzo.sh | sh, or
brew install hanzoai/tap/hanzo. It is hanzoai/cli; this module serves /v1, ships
plugins, and builds the control half above (go build ./cmd/hanzo).
Subsystems mounted
manifest/apps.go is the source of truth: every app that ships as its own binary, in
mount order — which IS the routing order, first matching prefix wins. Three facts per
row and no more (name, the paths it answers, whether it must already be running), because
that is the whole of what the light host needs to know. What an app DOES it states once
in its own plugin/<name>/main.go.
iam— identity & access (users, orgs, roles, OIDC/JWKS per HIP-0026)base— per-org SQLite + in-process extension runtimes (HIP-0105)kms— secret custody (sealed secrets, HIP-0027)commerce— checkout, billing, pricing, invoicing (light router; NOT in PCI-DSS scope)ai— AI control plane: inference, RAG, model hub, agents, MCP managementgateway— HTTP routing + policyo11y— metrics / traces / logsvfs— virtual filesystem / object-store abstractionmq— message queuedns,amqp,mcp,auto,tasks, … — the other 107 rows are inmanifest/apps.go

replicate -> S3 (HIP-0107) | ZAP inter-subsystem RPC
Every app is loaded through the same Mount seam and answers on its own prefix; the
host takes the first prefix that matches and starts the app if it is not up yet. The
console is registered LAST so no app prefix can be shadowed. Cross-subsystem calls ride
ZAP; no subsystem reaches into another's store.
The host owns three things no app can: it serves the white-labelled console at /, it
threads the deployment's operator flags to the children as CLOUD_* env, and it SCOPES
CREDENTIALS — it scrubs the KMS root key from its own environment so no child inherits
it, and hands it to the kms broker child alone.
White-label fork pattern
Customers fork hanzoai/cloud to launch their own ecosystem. Brand detection, enabled
subsystems, and ZAP endpoints (payments / vault backends) are all deployment
configuration.
Web framework
zap-proto/zip — Sinatra-style Go web framework built
on Fiber v3. The ONE Go web framework. No .Fast escape hatch. That is the module path
this repo imports (github.com/zap-proto/zip, currently v1.18.22); hanzoai/zip is the
old home and is not what go.mod resolves.
Console UI — embedded in the host
The host binary serves the console (@hanzo/gui, hanzoai/console — private) UI at the
web root AND routes /v1 — one origin, no separate console Service. The UI is compiled
in via //go:embed (see webui.go).
Pipeline (in the Dockerfile, before go build):
console stage → build console static bundle → /out
COPY --from=console /out/ → src/webui/dist/ (overlays the fallback shell)
build stage → go build → //go:embed all:webui/dist bakes it into /cloud
Serving (webui.go, registered LAST in Serve so it never shadows the API):
GET /and any client-side route (/orgs,/models, …) → the SPA shell (index.html) withCache-Control: no-cache; fingerprinted assets underassets//_next/are servedimmutablefor a year, with brotli/gzip precompressed negotiation when the build emits.br/.gzsiblings.GET /v1/*(and/zap,/healthz, …) → the API. Real subsystem routes are registered before the console catch-all, so they always win; an unmatched path under an API prefix returns a real 404 (JSON namespace), never HTML.- Same-origin: the embedded console calls
/v1on its own host, so the session cookie is first-party — no second origin, no CORS.
webui/dist/index.html is a committed fallback shell (a real same-origin
/v1 bootstrap) so go build always compiles and the binary always serves a UI
even without the Node toolchain. The image build overwrites webui/dist with the
real console bundle. See webui_test.go for the boot-and-assert tests
(/ → shell, deep link → shell 200, /v1/* → API, unmatched /v1 → 404).
The hanzoai/console build:embed script (scripts/build-embed.mjs) stashes its
Next server route handlers (BFF proxies that collapse to the cloud /v1/* the SPA
calls same-origin), wraps the client catch-all pages for output: 'export',
neutralizes the root layout's request-time headers() read, and emits a real
static export at out/ (a ~360 KB index.html + _next/ chunks). The image
build (and make webui) run it and overlay webui/dist, so //go:embed bakes
the FULL @hanzo/gui console into the host binary. The Dockerfile console stage
FAILS HARD if that bundle is missing or degenerate — the placeholder shell can
never silently ship to prod (escape hatch: --build-arg ALLOW_PLACEHOLDER=1 for a
pure-Go dev image).

Status
In production. It serves api.hanzo.ai and the white-label cloud surfaces today, with
per-org SQLite (HIP-0302) and the embedded console. manifest/apps.go is the one ordered
