Replace bare open().read()/write() in tests with Path.read_text/
write_text (or json.loads over read_text); the five remaining
open(...).close() empty-file creations become Path.write_text('').
No assertion, predicate, or production code changed; no behaviour
change beyond closing the handle deterministically.
Long-function splits and server.py module split intentionally not
included: the longest functions (_dispatch, _create_task,
_dispatch_project, ~375-395 lines in a 10430-line server.py) are
central routing/creation paths, and splitting them is not low-risk;
see PR body.
Deploy: deploy.sh builds tarball, backs up current code (keep 3),
deploys, restarts, health-gates 60s (ok/backend=postgres/db_ok),
auto-rolls back on failure; rollback.sh restores latest backup.
Rollback is code-only, DB migrations are additive-only so old
code can still read new columns.
Backup: restore_postgres refuses to restore into the production
DB name unless explicitly allowed (drill never allows it);
restore-drill.sh backs up fresh, restores to a test DB, compares
tasks/projects/users/audit row counts, drops the test DB.
Monitoring: worker writes heartbeat file every loop (atomic
replace, failure only logged); GET /health adds
worker_last_seen_seconds_ago + worker_ok (180s default, env
tunable, still HTTP 200 when worker is stale); monitor.sh
checks server/worker/health/pg_isready/docker-postgres/disk/
app dir as one JSON line, exit non-zero on any fail, plus
systemd timer every 5 minutes. Push alerting to chat still
needs a separate channel decision (SSH key or webhook URL).
Multi-user: verify-multiuser.py creates test users/projects
in memory-key only, checks RBAC via real HTTP API (owner/
maintainer/contributor/viewer, cross-project isolation,
merge 200/403/409, no-key 401), test tasks carry a never-
satisfiable dependency so the production worker never claims
them, cleanup deletes only multiuser-test- rows (audit log
is append-only and keeps test entries by design).
Tests: host 27 pass, cloud 298 pass (8 skipped are
environment-dependent real-Postgres tests).
