feat: opt-in watt runtime (wattpm) with blue-green support - #16

Conversation
Add runtime: 'watt' as an alternative to PM2. The web app runs as wattpm worker threads sharing the port via SO_REUSEPORT; workers run as systemd units. Blue-green, rollback, restart, stop, logs and env are supported. PM2 remains the default. See docs/adr/0009-watt-runtime.md.
Replace the monitor poller/state with a collector-based observe pipeline (domain/observe, services/observe) and slim down status and metrics to use it. Includes the redesign spec and tests.
…untime hot-sync restarts the serving colour and workers via systemd instead of pm2 reload; doctor checks systemd for watt apps; migrate tells the user to redeploy to regenerate units for the new path; harden no longer warns about a missing PM2 unit on watt-only hosts.
The observe pipeline samples systemd units for watt apps (state, memory, CPU via two samples, restarts, uptime) instead of pm2 jlist. Monitor restart/rollback/logs, the observe CLI and metrics use systemd. The deploy health check verifies unit state and NRestarts instead of the PM2 process list, which would have failed every watt deploy.
init offers the wattpm runtime and emits .runtime('watt', { main });
config show labels watt settings; CLI help no longer says PM2-only; new
website page documents the runtime and its trade-offs.
…cks it Shipnode's rendered configs target one wattpm version, so it now installs wattpm and @platformatic/node at WATT_VERSION after the release's install and relink when the app does not list them. Apps that list them keep their own versions.
…e the port guard fail An app adopting watt from PM2 blue-green has its previous release resident under PM2 on the idle colour's port, so the watt unit hit EADDRINUSE. Delete that PM2 process by exact name before booting the colour. portFreeGuard also swallowed its own failure via '|| true'; it now fails when the port is bound.
…owing 0 / 0 MB
procps free rejects -m combined with -b ("Multiple unit options don't make
sense"), leaving the mem line empty and the parser falling back to zero.
Rollback asked for interactive confirmation with no way to answer it from CI or a script. --yes skips both the fleet prompt and the single-server prompt, matching the flag other destructive commands already offer.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Attribute an unreachable server only to the apps planned for that server.
Line 33 builds one unreachable list from every failed server. Line 47 then attaches that same list to every FleetView. The FleetView.unreachable contract in src/domain/observe/snapshot.ts reads "Servers that should be running this app". This code does not meet that contract.
Here is a concrete trigger from the fleet config in tests/unit/observe-plan.test.ts:
webruns only ona.apiruns onaandb.datahosts only accessories.
If b or data fails to connect, the web fleet reports that server as unreachable. In printObserveStatus (src/cli/observe.ts, Line 145), replicas.length + unreachable.length then reaches 2. The single-server app web prints as a fleet with an "Unreachable" warning, and describeConvergence gives a misleading result. The same wrong list goes into the --json output.
The opposite case also fails. If an app's only replica is unreachable, no fleet is created for it.
The caller already knows which apps belong on each host. ObserveHostPlan.apps and CollectRequest.apps both carry this list. Put the expected app names on the error snapshot, then attribute each failed server only to those apps.
🐛 Proposed fix
In src/domain/observe/snapshot.ts, add this field to ServerSnapshot:
/** On a failed poll: the apps this server was asked to report. */
expectedApps?: string[];In src/domain/observe/collector.ts, set it in unreachable(): expectedApps: request.apps.map((a) => a.name). Pass the request through to make this possible. In src/cli/observe.ts, set it in unreachableObserver from host.apps.
Then apply this change in pivot.ts:
- const unreachable = snapshots.flatMap((server) => (server.error === undefined ? [] : [server.server]));
+ const unreachableByApp = new Map<string, string[]>();
+ for (const server of snapshots) {
+ if (server.error === undefined) continue;
+ for (const appName of server.expectedApps ?? []) {
+ if (!byApp.has(appName)) {
+ byApp.set(appName, []);
+ order.push(appName);
+ }
+ unreachableByApp.set(appName, [...(unreachableByApp.get(appName) ?? []), server.server]);
+ }
+ }Then use unreachable: unreachableByApp.get(appName) ?? [] for each fleet.

Validate values before rendering the systemd unit.
renderUnit writes configuration-derived values directly into systemd directives. remotePath and ssh.user accept control characters, and the generated WorkingDirectory and ExecStart values include remotePath. CR/LF can add directives, NUL produces an invalid unit, and a trailing backslash continues the line. Spaces also split the unquoted ExecStart script path.
Reject CR/LF/NUL and trailing backslashes, throw on invalid input, and quote the script argument.

…ix docs A remotePath with spaces split the unquoted ExecStart script argument, and a CR/LF/NUL in a rendered value could add directives or corrupt the unit. The website page also still said deploy stops when wattpm is missing, which contradicts the auto-install, and omitted that watt.maxHeapUsed overrides maxMemory.
