Jinwoo Hong 399306c171 feat(relay-ops): allow the migration-only cells c17 and c18 in same-cap waves (#21307)
c17 and c18 hold no hosts and sit outside general admission, so rolling one
displaces nobody. They are the only zero-displacement canary for a new cell
image, but the same-cap wave refused them at the dispatch validator and would
have promoted them to general at the end if it had not.

Add them to the approved list and teach the wave a cell's entry admission
class: the precheck demands the class the cell is declared to serve in, the
restore hands it back that class, the isolate on an already-isolated cell is
asserted to change nothing, and the selector generation advances by 2 for a
general cell and by 0 for a migration-only one. One wave may not mix the two,
because every cell after the first offsets from a single per-wave delta.

Neither cell is a declared regional-rehome source, so its template carries no
rehome trust lines. The source-membership guard now fires exactly when a roll
expects those lines instead of for every US cell, which is the invariant it
was standing in for, and which limits c17 and c18 to rehome protocol 0.

Orca Relay Operations

A private, aggregate dashboard for the Orca Relay control and data planes. It reads local gcloud and gh credentials on the server; credentials and per-user Relay state never enter the browser. One cached gcloud auth print-access-token refresh feeds concurrent read-only Google APIs so the collector does not stampede the local credential store.

Run locally

Prerequisites:

  • Node 24 and pnpm 10
  • gcloud authenticated for onorca-cloud and onorca-cloud-staging
  • gh authenticated with read access to stablyai/orca-cloud

From the repository root:

pnpm install
pnpm ops:relay

Open http://127.0.0.1:2455. The server binds only to loopback and refreshes aggregate data every minute. Production and staging are read-only by default.

The cost panel is a labeled planning estimate. There is currently no Cloud Billing export in either project, so the dashboard cannot claim exact billed spend. GCP Billing remains authoritative.

Share through Tailscale

Keep the dashboard bound to loopback and let Tailscale provide identity, TLS, and tailnet ACL enforcement:

tailscale serve --bg http://127.0.0.1:2455
tailscale serve status

Share the HTTPS URL printed by tailscale serve status with the team. Limit access to the intended operator group in the tailnet ACL. Do not use a public funnel. Stop sharing with:

tailscale serve reset

For a persistent host, run pnpm --filter @orca-cloud/relay-ops build and supervise pnpm --filter @orca-cloud/relay-ops start with the host's normal process manager. The process needs the same non-interactive gcloud and gh identities.

Optional staging controls

Controls are intentionally local-only and disabled unless explicitly enabled:

RELAY_OPS_ENABLE_STAGING_CONTROLS=1 pnpm ops:relay

Even in this mode the service never changes GCP directly. It dispatches .github/workflows/power-relay-staging.yml, preserves the workflow's typed WAKE_STAGING / SLEEP_STAGING confirmation, and always wakes only configured-admission cells. Requests require the loopback origin and a per-process CSRF token, so controls stay unavailable through the Tailscale view.

Data and security boundaries

  • Browser payloads contain aggregate Monitoring points, resource health, immutable image digests, alert-policy metadata, and workflow metadata.
  • Account IDs, host IDs, device IDs, pairing state, assignment rows, bearer tokens, service-account tokens, startup scripts, secret values, and individual Relay-admin state are excluded.
  • Sleeping staging is inventory-only. Viewing it does not probe or cold-start Cloud Run services and cannot resize empty MIGs.
  • Partial GCP or GitHub failures degrade the affected panel and produce a sanitized warning.
  • Missing cell inventory renders as Unknown, never Sleeping. After one successful read, transient credential or collector failures retain the last good snapshot and mark it stale.
  • Responses use no-store, a restrictive CSP, frame denial, and no-referrer headers.
