Crate mesofact_dev 

mesofact-dev — the dev-tier affordances, and nothing else.

This crate is deliberately small. The serving engine (Server, SSR dispatch, the revalidate receiver, tenants, the same-origin proxy) used to live here, which meant the prod mesofact-serve binary — which shipped from this crate — linked the file watcher and the dev S3 surface. That broke the dev/prod crate boundary W225 §2 relies on for its security claim (“prod is clean by construction … the crate boundary already keeps it out of prod”). It wasn’t: cleanliness rested on linker dead-stripping.

The engine now lives in the mesofact facade and this crate depends on it, holding only the pieces that must never reach a prod binary:

• watcher — the rebuild-on-change file watcher.
• s3 — the local S3 surface that stands in for R2 during dev (W225 §2 “local pond emulation”).
• app — the library-tier dev entry point, serve_app: the dev counterpart of mesofact::serve_app for a consumer whose routes are Rust handlers rather than a built dist/ tree. Read its module doc for what the dev half of that tier is and, just as load-bearing, what it deliberately is not.
• cli — the mes toolchain CLI, and the two bin targets over it.

cli carries the prod verbs (serve, publish, new) as well as the dev ones, so consumers learn one CLI — but it gets them by calling into mesofact::cli, which is the direction that costs the prod binary nothing. The boundary above is about what links into a binary, not about which verbs a binary spells.

Engine types are re-exported below so existing mesofact_dev::Server-style callsites keep working; new code should prefer mesofact::… directly.

Modules

app

The library-tier dev entry point — serve_app, the counterpart to mesofact::serve_app for a consumer whose routes are Rust handlers.

cli

mes — the mesofact dev toolchain.

proxy

Same-origin reverse proxy for the dev server (R513-F10, W207 Gap #1).

revalidate

revalidate — the ephemeral revalidate receiver: the mesofact-native replacement for the standalone almanac-serve binary (W225 §3/§4).

s3

Dev-tier S3 surface (R490-F7).

server

mesofact-dev — axum static-file server for mesofact-static workload artifacts, with optional file-watch + auto-rebuild + atomic pointer swap.

ssr

In-process SSR dispatch for mode:"ssr" routes (R449-F2; supersedes the bun-subprocess implementation R434-F3 shipped).

tenants

Multi-tenant tenants/<id>.toml registry for the revalidate receiver.

watcher

File-watch + auto-rebuild loop for mesofact-static workloads.

Structs

DistPointer

Shared, atomically-swappable pointer to the currently-served html/ directory. Cheap to clone; reads take a short read-lock.

Identity

Logical identity of a running mesofact-dev: the (service, component) the camp/reconciler spawned it for. Served verbatim at /__mesofact/info so an adopter can confirm a listener on a given port is its dev server before adopting it, rather than blindly hijacking whatever holds the port (a cross-service host-port collision would otherwise silently serve the wrong site — R602-B4).

ProxyMap

An ordered set of prefix → backend base URL proxy routes. Matching is longest-prefix-first, so a more specific /auth/admin can shadow a broader /auth if both are present.

ProxyState

Shared proxy state: the route map plus a single reusable HTTP client. Held in the server state and cloned (cheaply — both are Arc-backed) per request.

ResiliencePolicy

W181 v1 — schema mirror of mesofact_core::manifest::ResiliencePolicy.

RetryPolicy

Server

Static-file dev server for one mesofact-static workload.

SsrChild

In-process SSR dispatch + the data the router needs to use it.

SsrSlot

Swappable holder for the SSR child. The router reads current() on every request; the watcher’s post-build hook installs (or rotates) the child after each successful gen flip. Cheap to clone.

SsrSpawnOptions

Options for spawn. The workload directory anchors the state dir; the gen_dir is the snapshot the SSR runtime should resolve entrypoints against.

Constants

DEFAULT_PORT

Default port for the local-static provider slot.

DEFAULT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT_MS

Default per-attempt request timeout when resilience.timeout_ms is unset.
