steve 9cdf4b2472 feat: scaffold project with config, store, health endpoint, CI, and Dockerfile
Phase 1 of foreman: initialize the Go module, project layout, and core
infrastructure. Includes env-based configuration (FOREMAN_* namespace),
SQLite-backed durable job queue with WAL mode via modernc.org/sqlite,
stdlib HTTP server with /healthz and optional bearer-token auth middleware,
subcommand dispatch (serve + stubs), Gitea CI workflow, multi-stage
distroless Dockerfile, and comprehensive tests for all packages.

# foreman
A small, always-on Go daemon that fronts **one** Ollama target. It turns a
single Ollama instance into a queued, observable job endpoint: it polls the
target's installed models, serializes work through the target (managing model
swaps), assigns every job an ID, and reports progress via webhooks.
On the wire it speaks **native Ollama**, so it doubles as a drop-in `go-llm`
target.
## Quickstart
```bash
# Set the required Ollama target URL
export FOREMAN_OLLAMA_URL=http://mac.tail:11434
# Run directly
go run ./cmd/foreman serve
# Or build and run
go build -o foreman ./cmd/foreman
./foreman serve
```
## Docker
```bash
docker build -t foreman .
docker run -e FOREMAN_OLLAMA_URL=http://mac.tail:11434 -p 8080:8080 foreman
```
## Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables, namespaced under `FOREMAN_*`.
See [`.env.example`](.env.example) for the full list.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `FOREMAN_ADDR` | `:8080` | Listen address |
| `FOREMAN_OLLAMA_URL` | *(required)* | Ollama target base URL |
| `FOREMAN_OLLAMA_TOKEN` | *(empty)* | Bearer token sent to the target |
| `FOREMAN_TOKEN` | *(empty)* | Bearer token callers must present |
| `FOREMAN_EMBED_MODEL` | *(empty)* | Always-resident embedder model |
| `FOREMAN_DB_PATH` | `foreman.db` | SQLite database path |
| `FOREMAN_POLL_INTERVAL` | `30s` | Target model poll interval |
| `FOREMAN_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | *(empty)* | HMAC key for webhook signing |
## Health check
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/healthz
# {"status":"ok","degraded":false}
```
## Architecture
See [`docs/adr/`](docs/adr/) for design decisions. Key points:
- One daemon per Ollama target (ADR-0001)
- SQLite-backed durable job queue in WAL mode (ADR-0008)
- Single worker loop with drain-by-model scheduling (ADR-0009)
- Native Ollama passthrough + async `/jobs` surface (ADR-0003, ADR-0004)
- Embeddings bypass the queue entirely (ADR-0013)
