Why this change

HTTP host routes currently always reach an app’s web process. That prevents an app with a separately named HTTP API or dashboard process from exposing it through a hostname, even when that process is already part of the app’s active configuration. This change lets one hostname select one named HTTP-capable app service.

Approach and choices

A route now stores an optional service name. An absent value still means web, which keeps existing stored routes and existing miren route set <host> <app> behavior compatible. The new --service flag defaults to web; route creation validates the selection against the active configuration, including both current ports[] declarations and legacy scalar ports.

The scope stays intentionally narrow. This does not add path-based routing, arbitrary port selection, automatic service selection, TCP/UDP hostname routing, or multi-service policies. Public ingress, internal requests, and tunnels use the selected service. Their lease-cache keys also include it, since reusing a lease across two services could proxy a request to the wrong process.

Review guide

  • Check the empty-service fallback for legacy routes and the route-set validation boundary.
  • Check that cache isolation holds for active and ephemeral versions across service selection.
  • Check whether applying the selected service to tunnels is the right consistent behavior.

Validation

  • Passed go test ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress.
  • Passed go vet ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress.
  • Ran go generate ./api/ingress and git diff --check.
  • Added TestRouteSetService black-box coverage. It could not run in this sandbox because hack/dev-exec exits 127 before deployment; the CI black-box job provides the required development container.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an optional service to HTTP routes and validates selected services against app configuration. CLI route commands accept, display, and document the service, defaulting to web. HTTP ingress resolves the route service and uses service-specific lease keys and acquisition. Schema serialization supports the new field while preserving legacy empty values. Unit and black-box tests cover service validation, persistence, display, traffic, and rejection of unknown services.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f11cd

The change adds optional service selection while preserving existing route behavior, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

🍪 biscuit: 🚧 not ready — auto-review, non-blocking

Review: Route HTTP hosts to named app services

The feature design is solid — the backward-compatibility strategy (empty service field defaults to web everywhere) is thought through, HTTPService validation at the CLI layer is correct, the lease-cache key is properly namespaced per service, and the unit tests for routeService, leaseCacheKey, and HTTPService cover the important cases. One concrete bug needs to be fixed before this ships.

Bug: plain-text route list table is misaligned

cli/commands/route_list.go adds "SERVICE" to the header slice (line 86), making it 9 columns, but the ui.Row built for each route in the plain-text path still only pushes 8 values — it inserts host, appDisplay, defaultDisplay, wafDisplay, timeoutDisplay, servingDisplay, createdAt, updatedAt and skips the service value entirely (lines 119–128). The JSON path is fine. The table render will either produce visually wrong output (column data shifted left under the wrong headers) or panic depending on what ui.AutoSizeColumns / ui.NewTable does with mismatched lengths. The blackbox test only checks JSON output (--format json), so this would slip past CI.

The fix is to insert routeService(route) into the ui.Row after appDisplay, matching the position of the "SERVICE" header.

Smaller concerns (not blocking individually, worth noting)

--service default stores "web" literally. The CLI defines default:"web" on the flag, so a plain route set example.com myapp now writes Service: "web" to the entity store, whereas older routes stored Service: "". Both display as web, routing is identical, but any tool that reads the raw entity will now see a non-empty field where it used to be absent. This is a deliberate trade-off (the comment acknowledges it), but worth being conscious of — if SetRoute ever needs to distinguish "explicitly set to web" from "legacy empty", that information is gone.

HTTPService with len(svc.Ports) == 0 && svc.Port == 0. When a service has neither Port nor Ports, the condition len(svc.Ports) == 0 && svc.Port > 0 is false, and the loop falls through to the else branch which iterates zero ports and never returns nil. The function then returns "has no HTTP port". That seems intentional — a service with no port config at all isn't HTTP-capable — but a future reader might be surprised that a zero-port service hits the "no HTTP port" path rather than a more descriptive error. Not a bug, just a subtle edge.

cli/commands/route_list.go:122

The SERVICE column was added to the headers (line 86) making it 9 columns, but this ui.Row only appends 8 values — the service value is absent. The table will render with misaligned columns. Insert routeService(route) between appDisplay and defaultDisplay to match the header order.

In cli/commands/route_list.go, the plain-text
route list table has a SERVICE column added to the
headers slice at line 86 (9 headers total), but
the ui.Row built for each route in the loop
starting around line 119 only has 8 values — it is
missing the service value. Add
`routeService(route)` to the ui.Row between
`appDisplay` and `defaultDisplay` so the row
matches the header order HOST, APP, SERVICE,
DEFAULT, WAF, TIMEOUT, SERVING, CREATED, UPDATED.

Addressed the actionable review feedback in e4e74f0:

  • Added the service cell to plain-text route list rows, so it now matches the SERVICE header and remaining columns stay aligned.
  • Extended the service-route black-box test to check text output as well as JSON.
  • Removed the redundant route-update comment.
  • Put the route-set service constraint in a Docusaurus info admonition.

Validated with go test ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, go vet ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, and git diff --check. The black-box test still requires the project development container, which this sandbox does not have (hack/dev-exec exits 127 before deployment).

🍪 biscuit: ✅ ready to merge — auto-review, non-blocking

The blocking bug I flagged in my last review — the missing SERVICE value in the plain-text route list rows — has been fixed in commit e4e74f0. I can see it directly in the annotated diff: routeService(route) is now inserted at line 124 of cli/commands/route_list.go, between appDisplay and defaultDisplay, exactly matching the position of "SERVICE" in the 9-element header slice. The column count is now consistent.

The author also extended the blackbox test (blackbox/route_service_test.go) to check text output, checking for both the "SERVICE" header and the service value "echo" in the rendered table. That's a meaningful addition — the JSON path was already covered; the text path was the gap.

The docs update is solid too: the --service flag is now documented in route-set.md with a proper Docusaurus :::info admonition for the service constraint, matching the project's conventions.

My earlier secondary observations (the "web" literal default vs. empty-string legacy distinction, and the zero-port HTTPService path) remain accurate but neither is a bug — they're deliberate trade-offs the code comments acknowledge, and I'm not raising them as blocking concerns now.

This is ready to merge.

🤖 Addressed the field-aware text table assertion in 3b80f17: the black-box test now finds the route’s own row and verifies its SERVICE field equals echo.

The earlier table alignment, documentation, and redundant-comment feedback remains addressed in e4e74f0. I made no change for the two non-blocking observations about storing web explicitly and zero-port validation because both are intentional behavior.

Validated with go test ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, go vet ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, and git diff --check. GitHub CI has started for 3b80f17 and is still pending. The previous run had multiple failed black-box and lint jobs, but GitHub did not make logs available while it remained in progress. - e+🤖

🤖 Addressed the CI regression in 8d4aea0. Route validation now honors the deployment launcher’s existing implicit HTTP default for a web app service with no declared port, so current miren route set <host> <app> behavior remains compatible. A non-web service still needs an explicitly declared HTTP port.

I also removed the ineffective tunnel-service initialization that golangci-lint reported. The black-box and POP failures all shared the same rejected implicit-web route setup; the aggregate test check failed only because those child jobs failed.

Validated with go test ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, go vet ./api/ingress ./cli/commands ./servers/httpingress, and git diff --check. GitHub CI has started for 8d4aea0 and is pending. - e+🤖

🤖 Follow-up CI investigation found that generate-check also requires generated command reference pages to match CLI metadata. Commit f11cd51 regenerates the three route command pages, removing manual prose that the generator does not own. The detailed named-service guidance remains in traffic-routing.md, which is authored documentation.

The local full make generate-check still rewrites unrelated encoded schemas because this sandbox’s generation toolchain produces different bytes. I restored those unrelated files; the route command docs and ingress schema output are generated and committed. GitHub CI has started for f11cd51 and is pending. - e+🤖

🤖 Fixed TestRouteSetService in 84614e8. I reproduced it locally with Docker and the ISO development environment. The route behavior was correct; the test failed because it searched pretty-printed JSON for whitespace-free substrings and expected ok without the fixture’s trailing newline. The test now decodes JSON and validates the route’s own host/service fields, while trimming the fixture response before comparison.

Validated with the targeted black-box command in the ISO/Docker environment. GitHub CI has started for 84614e8 and is pending. - e+🤖

🤖 This check is stricter than the code that actually starts the service. A port with no type is valid and defaults to HTTP, but we reject it here. web also still gets its usual HTTP port 3000 when its configured ports are all TCP or UDP, and we reject that too. That means a plain route set can fail for configurations that already work. Could we reuse the launcher’s rules here, or cover the same cases and add tests?

🤖 Could this active-version lookup and service validation move behind the ingress client, perhaps as a service-aware SetRoute method? RouteSet now knows how app versions are stored, decodes core entities, and resolves runtime config only to enforce an ingress invariant. Keeping that orchestration at the write boundary would leave the command responsible for CLI input/output and make the same validation available to non-CLI route writers.
