Three coupled fixes plus a new relations module land together because
each is required for the next: appendo can't terminate without all
three.
1. unify.sx — added (:cons h t) tagged cons-cell shape because SX has no
improper pairs. The unifier treats (:cons h t) and the native list
(h . t) as equivalent. mk-walk* re-flattens cons cells back to flat
lists for clean reification.
2. stream.sx — switched mature stream cells from plain SX lists to a
(:s head tail) tagged shape so a mature head can have a thunk tail.
With the old representation, mk-mplus had to (cons head thunk) which
SX rejects (cons requires a list cdr).
3. conde.sx — wraps each clause in Zzz (inverse-eta delay) for laziness.
Zzz uses (gensym "zzz-s-") for the substitution parameter so it does
not capture user goals that follow the (l s ls) convention. Without
gensym, every relation that uses `s` as a list parameter silently
binds it to the substitution dict.
relations.sx is the new module: nullo, pairo, caro, cdro, conso,
firsto, resto, listo, appendo, membero. 25 new tests.
Canary green:
(run* q (appendo (list 1 2) (list 3 4) q))
→ ((1 2 3 4))
(run* q (fresh (l s) (appendo l s (list 1 2 3)) (== q (list l s))))
→ ((() (1 2 3)) ((1) (2 3)) ((1 2) (3)) ((1 2 3) ()))
(run 3 q (listo q))
→ (() (_.0) (_.0 _.1))
152/152 cumulative.
Rose Ash
Monorepo for the Rose Ash cooperative platform — six Quart microservices sharing a common infrastructure layer, a single PostgreSQL database, and an ActivityPub federation layer.
Services
| Service | URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| blog | blog.rose-ash.com | Content management, Ghost sync, navigation, editor |
| market | market.rose-ash.com | Product listings, scraping, market pages |
| cart | cart.rose-ash.com | Shopping cart, checkout, orders, SumUp payments |
| events | events.rose-ash.com | Calendar, event entries, container widgets |
| federation | federation.rose-ash.com | OAuth2 authorization server, ActivityPub hub, social features |
| account | account.rose-ash.com | User dashboard, newsletters, tickets, bookings |
All services are Python 3.11 / Quart apps served by Hypercorn, deployed as a Docker Swarm stack.

Key architecture patterns
Shared models — All ORM models live in shared/models/. Each app's models/ directory contains thin re-export stubs. factory.py imports all six apps' models at startup so SQLAlchemy relationship references resolve across domains.
Service contracts — Apps communicate through typed protocols (shared/contracts/protocols.py) and frozen dataclass DTOs (shared/contracts/dtos.py), wired via a singleton registry (shared/services/registry.py). No direct HTTP calls between apps for domain logic.
Fragment composition — Apps expose HTML fragments at /internal/fragments/<type> for cross-app UI composition. The blog fetches cart, account, navigation, and event fragments to compose its pages. Fragments are cached in Redis with short TTLs.
OAuth SSO — Federation is the OAuth2 authorization server. All other apps are OAuth clients with per-app first-party session cookies (Safari ITP compatible). Login/callback/logout routes are auto-registered via shared/infrastructure/oauth.py.
ActivityPub — Each app has its own AP actor (virtual projection of the same keypair). The federation app is the social hub (timeline, compose, follow, notifications). Activities are emitted to ap_activities table and processed by EventProcessor.
Development
Quick deploy (skip CI)
# Rebuild + restart one app
./deploy.sh blog
# Rebuild + restart multiple apps
./deploy.sh blog market
# Rebuild all
./deploy.sh --all
# Auto-detect changes from git
./deploy.sh
Full stack deploy
source .env
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml coop
Build a single app image
docker build -f blog/Dockerfile -t registry.rose-ash.com:5000/blog:latest .
Run migrations
Migrations run automatically on the blog service startup when RUN_MIGRATIONS=true is set (only blog runs migrations; all other apps skip them).
# Manual migration
docker exec -it $(docker ps -qf name=coop_blog) bash -c "cd shared && alembic upgrade head"
CI/CD
A single Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) handles all six apps:
- Detects which files changed since the last deploy
- If
shared/ordocker-compose.ymlchanged, rebuilds all apps - Otherwise rebuilds only apps with changes (or missing images)
- Pushes images to the private registry
- Runs
docker stack deployto update the swarm
Required secrets
| Secret | Value |
|---|---|
DEPLOY_SSH_KEY |
Private SSH key for root access to the deploy host |
DEPLOY_HOST |
Hostname or IP of the deploy server |
