# `thothctl pi` lifecycle contract
`thothctl` is the only component that drives Docker lifecycle operations. The `core` container
does not mount a Docker socket, and Pi is never updated in a running container.
## Inspection and configuration
```text
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi status
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi doctor
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi test
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi logs
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi configure
```
`status` executes the image-bundled `pi --version`. `doctor` and `test` require a healthy core,
a successful Pi smoke, valid settings, and an exact selected provider/model pair from the
backend's available model entries. `pi check` remains an alias for `pi test`. Logs are always a
bounded, sanitized 200-line snapshot; there is no follow mode.
On a TTY, `pi configure` presents numbered provider, model, and thinking choices. Providers and
models come from the backend's closed model list, and the model choices are restricted to the
selected provider. In non-interactive use, all choices must be explicit:
```text
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi configure \
--provider zai --model glm-5.2 --thinking medium
```
The helper snapshots the previous settings, applies the new values atomically, and verifies the
readback and rendered-configuration digest. A helper, readback, or digest failure triggers an
attempted restore followed by another readback. The command reports the actual host path from
`PI_AUTH_FILE`; credentials remain in that protected host file and must never be passed as flags.
## Updating Pi
Every update requires a pinned version, an explicit source, and confirmation:
```text
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi update \
--version 0.81.0 --source build --yes
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi update \
--version 0.81.0 --source pull \
--image registry.example.invalid/thothii-core@sha256:<64-lowercase-hex-digits> --yes
```
`--source build` rebuilds only `core` with `PI_VERSION=<version>`. `--source pull` requires an
immutable digest reference; mutable tags, URL forms, and credential-bearing references are
rejected. `--source` is never inferred.
Before inventory, update activates the durable maintenance gate. Activation writes
`/data/settings/maintenance.json` in the mounted settings volume, closes admission, and waits for
all leases. A recreated candidate reads that marker at startup and therefore starts gated. The
loopback-only control endpoints cannot be reached through the frontend proxy and do not depend on
the configured authentication principal mode. Lost activation/deactivation responses are resolved
by querying gate status.
Open, unarchived sessions stop an update. After an operator has completed or otherwise drained
their work, `--drain` makes the command poll the authenticated bare-array
`GET /sessions?scope=all` response until no active sessions remain.
The configured `core.image` is never retagged or mutated. Each installation transaction creates
unique candidate and previous tags, including when two installations share a configured tag or
the configured image is digest-pinned. A temporary lifecycle-only Compose override selects those
tags for build, recreate, and rollback. Terminal success removes the override.
Only `core` is recreated, with `--no-deps --force-recreate`; `frontend` is not recreated and no
volume-replacement flags are used. Verification checks health, exact requested Pi version, the
provider/model/settings smoke, unchanged non-secret rendered configuration, and the complete
persistence-mount fingerprint.
## Recovery, rollback, and maintenance cleanup
Recovery state and lock diagnostics live under:
```text
<projectDirectory>/.thothctl/update-state.json
<projectDirectory>/.thothctl/update-state.json.lock.owner.json
```
The recovery file is mode `0600` and records transaction-scoped image identities, mount
fingerprints, target version/source, configuration digest, phase, and timestamp. It contains no
credentials, endpoint values, secret paths, Compose output, or logs. A cross-platform OS advisory
file lock serializes lifecycle operations; a crashed owner releases the lock automatically. Owner
metadata is diagnostic only and cannot wedge acquisition if empty, partial, or stale.
Any post-candidate failure explicitly confirms or reactivates maintenance and rescans sessions
before compensation. Automatic rollback selects the transaction's previous image through the
lifecycle override and clears maintenance only after the previous image, configuration, mounts,
health, Pi smoke, and terminal recovery write are verified. Ambiguous compensation remains gated.
For an interrupted transaction, first run:
```text
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi rollback --yes
```
Inspect and clean a stale durable gate with:
```text
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi maintenance status
thothctl --installation /absolute/path/thothii-installation.yaml pi maintenance recover --yes
```
`maintenance recover` refuses a pending transaction. For terminal or absent recovery state, it
removes a stale lifecycle override, verifies the running installation when the gate is active, and
only then removes the durable marker and reopens admission. If rollback or recovery fails, leave
the marker in place, preserve `update-state.json`, repair the reported Docker/configuration issue,
and rerun rollback or maintenance recovery.
Missing confirmation, invalid arguments, active sessions, and an interrupted transaction exit
`2`. Docker and verification failures exit nonzero with concise, redacted guidance. Direct
read-only/log commands preserve the original Docker child exit code.
