olares-cluster

cluster (per-user K8s view)

Shared front door: load ../olares-shared/SKILL.md for suite routing, active-profile selection, platform entry points, and the auth proceed/stop gate. Load its auth reference only when login, profile switching, token storage, or auth recovery is actually needed.

Load the shared platform model when the task depends on app namespaces, application spaces, cross-namespace DNS, or system middleware. Use olares-cli cluster <noun> <verb> --help for syntax.

When to use

• Inspect K8s runtime objects, YAML, events, logs, or identity context.
• Execute a one-shot command in a container.
• Scale, restart, stop, start, or delete a workload; suspend/resume cronjobs; rerun jobs.
• Watch pod, workload, application, or log state.

Diagnosing why an app is broken (stuck install, crash loop, running but unreachable, image won't pull, resource pressure) is ../olares-doctor/SKILL.md — it orchestrates these cluster commands into symptom→root-cause routing. cluster stays the raw runtime view and the place that mutates K8s objects.

workload stop/start changes controller replicas; it does not update the Market lifecycle row. Use market stop/resume for app-level lifecycle.

Fast paths

Task	Read	First command
See whether an app's pods are up	pod operations	olares-cli cluster pod list -n <namespace> -o json, then read each .status.phase
Read a container's logs	pod operations	olares-cli cluster pod logs <pod> -n <namespace>
Find what this profile can see at all	this file	olares-cli cluster context -o json
Restart a workload	workload operations	olares-cli cluster workload restart <name> -n <namespace>

The identity-vs-server-decides principle (cross-cutting)

• Identity is the active profile; there is no per-invocation profile override.
• The server decides visibility and authorization. cluster context is identity display, not a permission preflight.
• Surface a 403 as authoritative. The exception is exec, whose namespace safety gate is described in its reference.

Verb index

Noun	Verbs	Read when triggered
context	(single verb)	The ControlHub-side identity and scope of the active profile — what this tree can see at all, before any noun below returns empty
pod	list, get, yaml, events, logs, delete, restart, exec	exec requires Olares 1.12.7+; pod operations; exec safety
container	list, env, logs, exec	exec requires Olares 1.12.7+; exec safety
workload (wl)	list, images, get, yaml, rollout-status, scale, restart, stop, start, delete	workload operations
application (app)	list, get, workloads, pods, status	application aggregation
namespace (alias ns)	list, get	Scoped to the active profile, so this is the user's namespaces rather than the cluster's
node (alias nodes)	list, get	The node names other trees ask for: files addresses cache/<node>/ and external/<node>/ by them, and a file task is retained per node
job (jobs)	list, get, yaml, pods, events, rerun	job operations
cronjob (cronjobs, cj)	list, get, yaml, jobs, suspend, resume	cronjob operations
middleware (mw)	list	middleware model

Watch and asynchronous semantics

• Watches and log follow poll; they are not streaming API watches.
• Transient network/5xx failures are retried within a bounded streak. Terminal 4xx responses stop immediately; 408 and 429 remain retryable.
• Ctrl-C stops the local poll cleanly. It does not undo a mutation already accepted by the server.
• A rollout/status watch ending is not proof that the application entrance is healthy; use olares-doctor when runtime symptoms remain.

Safety and escalation

• Confirm every destructive runtime mutation before invoking it, even if --yes is available.
• exec is a remote code-execution boundary. Confirm namespace, pod, container, command, and whether writes are expected. Prefer one-shot execution; interactive TTY belongs to the human.
• Do not delete or restart objects merely because a diagnostic found them unhealthy. Establish controller ownership and the app-level consequence first.
• A 404 may hide a namespace the profile cannot see. Compare against cluster application list; do not broaden scope or switch identity without user approval.
• For complete image-reference diagnostics use doctor images, not a paginated workload listing.
• Stop on ambiguous namespace/resource identity, missing permission, or any request to access another user's container.
