Docker Build Optimization Roadmap

Status: Draft v13 (Phases A, B, C, D, E complete across all 12 consumer repos; docker-doctor PASS everywhere; only advisory warnings remain) · Owner: Platform DevOps · Created: 2026-05-27 · Revised: 2026-05-27

Pilot Docker-build correctness + speed fixes on learning_ai_clock (web + backend) and learning_ai_peakpulse (backend), then capture the playbook here for ecosystem-wide rollout.

Upstream prerequisite shipped (commit 610a59fd in learning_ai_common_plat): Gitea owner parameterization + helper scripts (scripts/gitea/doctor.sh, scripts/gitea/token.sh). The .npmrc template now resolves owner from ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER:-learning_ai_user}. All A0-1 work in this roadmap inherits this — Dockerfile/.npmrc.docker must use the same ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER} placeholder, not a hardcoded literal.

0. Pre-flight audit findings (2026-05-27)

A read-only audit of pilot repos + lessons from recent live incidents + the A0-V execution iterations on clock surfaced 18 concrete bugs/gaps (F14–F15 added after the Gitea-hardening commit; F16–F18 added during the A0-V execution sweep on clock, 2026-05-27). The actual state of the ecosystem is closer to the inverse of the casual narrative: tarballs are the de facto default, the Gitea-registry path is partially wired, and there is a separate class of "build green, app broken" silent failures (F11–F13) that the speed-focused plan needs to address first.

#	Finding	Location	Severity
F1	pnpm-lock.yaml is in .dockerignore — any lockfile-based optimization is blocked until removed	peakpulse/.dockerignore, clock/.dockerignore	High
F2	pnpm-workspace.yaml references sibling ../learning_ai_common_plat/packages/* — --frozen-lockfile inside Docker will fail unless workspace is flattened or sibling tree is copied	both pilots	High
F3	peakpulse/.npmrc.docker is tarball-only (no @bytelyst:registry=… line) — the "Gitea-registry" path doesn't work in this repo today	peakpulse/.npmrc.docker	High
F4	clock/.npmrc.docker hardcodes http://localhost:3300 — from inside Docker, localhost is the container, not the host registry	clock/.npmrc.docker	High
F5	clock/backend/Dockerfile has neither ARG GITEA_NPM_HOST nor a BuildKit secret mount — wholly dependent on pre-populated .docker-deps/	clock/backend/Dockerfile	High
F6	clock/web/Dockerfile accepts ARG GITEA_NPM_HOST but never uses it; no --mount=type=secret either	clock/web/Dockerfile	Medium
F7	peakpulse/docker-compose.yml does not pass GITEA_NPM_HOST build arg or declare secrets: block	peakpulse/docker-compose.yml	Medium
F8	COPY .docker-deps/ is unconditional in every backend Dockerfile — every build requires docker-prep.sh to have run OR an empty .docker-deps/ dir to pre-exist	both repos	Medium
F9	npm install -g pnpm@10.6.5 runs on every build (no corepack) — 5–10 s overhead, no pinning to packageManager field	all four Dockerfiles	Low
F10	No BuildKit --mount=type=cache for pnpm store — cold install on every rebuild even when deps unchanged	all four Dockerfiles	High (main speed win)
F11	Build-time config file missing from repo or not COPY'd in Dockerfile causes silent UI breakage. Symptom: next build succeeds, container is "healthy", but CSS bundle is ~33 KB (only @font-face) and all Tailwind classes are absent → UI renders unstyled. Two sub-bugs: (a) postcss.config.mjs missing entirely while @tailwindcss/postcss is in package.json (NoteLett, JarvisJr fixes dff459e, 36f6bc1); (b) file exists but Dockerfile never COPYs it (Clock, LocalMemGPT fixes a308c6444, 07cdf6b).	*/web/Dockerfile, */web/postcss.config.*	High
F12	Healthcheck uses localhost, resolves to IPv6 ::1, false-fails. Backend listens on 0.0.0.0 (IPv4 only). wget --spider http://localhost:.../health hits ::1, connection refused, container marked "unhealthy", web service won't start due to depends_on: condition: service_healthy. Incident: learning_ai_jarvis_jr/docker-compose.yml.	every docker-compose*.yml healthcheck	Medium
F13	Enumerated COPY web/foo ./foo pattern drifts from filesystem. New config file added to repo but Dockerfile's enumerated COPY list isn't updated. Build succeeds silently with the file absent; behavior diverges from local dev. Root cause of F11(b).	every Dockerfile using enumerated COPY	Medium
F14	Hardcoded Gitea owner (learning_ai_user) literally embedded in .npmrc.docker + CI workflows + publish scripts across 14 repos. When the org was renamed from bytelyst → learning_ai_user, every repo needed a manual commit. Resolved upstream in common-plat (610a59fd): owner now resolves from ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER:-learning_ai_user}; scripts/gitea/{doctor,token}.sh ship as pre-flight/rotation helpers. Docker work in this roadmap MUST consume the env var, not the literal.	.npmrc.docker, Dockerfile ARG/ENV, CI workflows	Medium
F15	Stale shell-env tokens. ~/.gitea_npm_token rotated on disk; long-lived shells still exported the old value. Caused 401s during docker compose build until source ~/.zshrc. Mitigation shipped: bash scripts/gitea/doctor.sh detects env-vs-file drift and refuses to proceed. Action required in this roadmap: wire doctor as a pre-build CI gate.	dev workstation + CI runners	Low (now caught)
F16	At least 10 published @bytelyst/* packages had unrewritten workspace:* refs in their package.json dependencies. Root cause: publish-outdated-packages.sh extracts a pnpm-packed tarball then re-packs with npm pack (workaround for a historical Gitea-compat issue with pnpm's tarball format), and npm pack doesn't recognize the pnpm-specific workspace: protocol — it passes it through literally. Fixed in common-plat@cfcfc7bb (fix(gitea): rewrite workspace:* in published tarballs (F16)) — inserted a workspace:* rewriter between extract and npm-repack + a defense-in-depth grep guard. Republished 10 affected packages.	common-plat publish flow + Gitea registry	Critical (FIXED)
F17	Gitea bakes localhost:3300 into the dist.tarball field of every published package's metadata. Inside Docker, localhost is the container itself, not the host — so even after a successful registry-metadata fetch via host.docker.internal, pnpm follows the tarball URL to localhost:3300 and ECONNREFUSEs. Root cause: Gitea app.ini's ROOT_URL=http://localhost:3300/ was baked at publish time. Fixed by setting ROOT_URL=http://host.docker.internal:3300/, restarting Gitea, adding 127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal to /etc/hosts, adding host.docker.internal to NO_PROXY (corp proxy was hijacking DNS), and republishing all 64 packages (common-plat@dd90f709).	Gitea app.ini + host /etc/hosts + every dev machine's switch-network.sh	Critical (FIXED)
F18	clock/web/package.json had 4 @bytelyst/* deps declared as file: refs to sibling ../../learning_ai_common_plat/packages/* — a legacy pre-Gitea pattern. Inside Docker those paths don't exist, so pnpm install fails with ERR_PNPM_LINKED_PKG_DIR_NOT_FOUND. Discovered during clock web A0-V on 2026-05-27. Fixed in learning_ai_clock@8b5c767a3 by rewriting to * semver. Same pattern likely lives in other product repos (especially anything that consumes @bytelyst/ui, @bytelyst/design-tokens, @bytelyst/use-theme) — audit needed in Phase D rollout.	*/web/package.json (and likely others)	High

Implications:

• The original "switch to --frozen-lockfile + Gitea registry" plan requires two upstream fixes first (F1, F2).
• F11–F13 mean correctness fixes must precede speed fixes, otherwise we ship faster builds of broken apps.
• F16 + F17 are both fixed as of 2026-05-27. Gitea path now works end-to-end on clock. A-pre is largely complete; remaining items (A-pre-4, A-pre-5) become Phase E checks.
• F18 (sibling file: refs in product repo manifests) is the same family as F2 but separately tractable — fixed in clock, audit needed across other repos as part of Phase D rollout.
• A linter (Phase E docker-doctor.sh) is the durable insurance against F11/F13/F18 recurrence — silent in CI today. The registry-side guard (publish-time check for workspace:* leaks) shipped in common-plat@cfcfc7bb as part of the F16 fix.

---

1. Context: three build paths

Path	Status today	Trigger	Notes
docker-prep.sh tarballs	De facto default in peakpulse + flowmonk; also works in clock/notes	Run docker-prep.sh then docker compose build	Hermetic; mutates package.json; slow to repack
Gitea NPM registry	Partially wired in clock + notes; broken in peakpulse	docker compose build with GITEA_NPM_HOST arg + secret	Needs .npmrc.docker standardization to be the default
Legacy file: refs	Deprecated	—	Removed during pnpm/Gitea migration

Measurement targets

Build	Baseline (observed)	Target after Phase A
Cold (no cache)	~2–3 min	≤ 2 min
Warm (one source file changed)	~2–3 min	< 30 s
docker-prep.sh pack step alone	~60–90 s	< 30 s (pnpm pack cache)

Fill in actuals during Phase C.

---

2. Goals & non-goals

Goals

• ✅ Eliminate F11–F13 class of silent "build green, app broken" failures
• ✅ Cut warm rebuild time via BuildKit pnpm-store cache mount (single biggest speed win)
• ✅ Make docker-prep.sh idempotent, safe to re-run, gitignore-clean, and canonical (no per-repo drift)
• ✅ Standardize .npmrc.docker across the ecosystem so the Gitea path actually works
• ✅ Fix docker-compose.yml to pass GITEA_NPM_HOST + secrets so the registry path is usable without manual flags
• ✅ Ship docker-doctor.sh CI lint as the durable insurance layer

Non-goals

• ❌ Migrating off pnpm or off the Gitea registry
• ❌ Adopting --frozen-lockfile until F2 is resolved (sibling-workspace problem)
• ❌ Publishing @bytelyst/* to the public npm registry
• ❌ Multi-platform builds (separate roadmap)

---

2.5 Canonical decisions

Decisions taken now to avoid contradictions later in the doc:

• Base image: node:22-alpine is canonical. For repos blocked by the corporate proxy's Alpine SSL interception (currently only learning_ai_notes), the Dockerfile MUST expose:

  ARG BASE_IMAGE=node:22-alpine
  FROM ${BASE_IMAGE} AS builder
  

  Override per-repo via --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=node:22-slim. Document the override in the repo's AGENTS.md.
• Healthcheck host: 127.0.0.1 (NOT localhost) in every docker-compose*.yml test: block. See F12.
• Lockfile mode in Docker: --lockfile=false for now. --frozen-lockfile is blocked on the A3 ADR (F2).

---

3. Phase A — Correctness + build speed + path correctness

Order matters: A-pre must precede A0 (you can't build via a registry that serves broken metadata); A0 must precede A1+ (you can't optimize a path that doesn't work), and A8+A9 (correctness) must land before measuring speed wins.

A-pre. Make the Gitea registry actually usable from Docker (F16 + F17 + F18)

Owner: learning_ai_common_plat + per-product repo · Status: ✅ done for clock + global config.

Three distinct bugs surfaced during clock A0-V on 2026-05-27:

• F16: Publish flow leaked workspace:* into published metadata.

• F17: Gitea baked localhost:3300 into tarball URLs.

• F18: Product repos had legacy file: refs to sibling packages.

• A-pre-1. Audit publish-outdated-packages.sh — confirmed it uses pnpm pack then re-tars with npm pack, which loses workspace: rewriting.

• A-pre-2. Patch publish script with a workspace:* rewriter + a post-rewrite grep guard. Shipped in common-plat@cfcfc7bb.

• A-pre-3. Verify all packages publish with 0 workspace:* refs. Confirmed via curl scan across all 64 packages.

• A-pre-4. F17 fix: set Gitea ROOT_URL=http://host.docker.internal:3300/, restart Gitea, add 127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal to /etc/hosts, add host.docker.internal to NO_PROXY in switch-network.sh, bulk republish all 64 packages. Shipped in common-plat@dd90f709.

• A-pre-5. F18 fix: rewrite file:../../learning_ai_common_plat/packages/* refs in clock/web/package.json to * semver. Shipped in clock@8b5c767a3. Audit needed in Phase D for other product repos.

• A-pre-6. Document Gitea config requirements (below).

A-pre-6. Gitea configuration prerequisites (one-time per dev machine)

The Gitea registry MUST be configured with ROOT_URL=http://host.docker.internal:3300/ so published tarball URLs are reachable from inside Docker containers. The host /etc/hosts MUST resolve host.docker.internal to 127.0.0.1 so the same URLs work from the host shell.

On macOS (Homebrew Gitea):

# 1. Edit Gitea's app.ini
sudo -e /opt/homebrew/var/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini
#   change:   ROOT_URL = http://localhost:3300/
#   to:       ROOT_URL = http://host.docker.internal:3300/

# 2. Restart Gitea
brew services restart gitea

# 3. Add /etc/hosts entry so host.docker.internal resolves on the host too
sudo sh -c 'grep -q host.docker.internal /etc/hosts || \
  echo "127.0.0.1       host.docker.internal" >> /etc/hosts'

# 4. Ensure host.docker.internal is in NO_PROXY for corp shells
# (already done in switch-network.sh as of common-plat@dd90f709)
source ~/.zshrc   # reload

# 5. Verify
curl -sS http://host.docker.internal:3300/api/v1/version
# expected: {"version":"1.25.5"} or similar

A0. Make the Gitea-registry path actually work (clock + peakpulse)

• A0-1. Standardize .npmrc.docker to use templated host AND owner so it works on host (localhost) and inside Docker (host.docker.internal), and so future owner renames are a one-line env change:

  @bytelyst:registry=http://${GITEA_NPM_HOST}:3300/api/packages/${GITEA_NPM_OWNER:-learning_ai_user}/npm/
  //${GITEA_NPM_HOST}:3300/api/packages/${GITEA_NPM_OWNER:-learning_ai_user}/npm/:_authToken=${GITEA_NPM_TOKEN}
  strict-ssl=false
  auto-install-peers=true
  

  ⚠️ Env-var expansion chain: pnpm expands ${VAR} in .npmrc at read time using the current process environment (see pnpm npmrc docs). That means the Dockerfile MUST do ARG GITEA_NPM_HOST + ARG GITEA_NPM_OWNER → ENV GITEA_NPM_HOST=$GITEA_NPM_HOST / ENV GITEA_NPM_OWNER=$GITEA_NPM_OWNER before the pnpm install RUN line, AND the GITEA_NPM_TOKEN must be exported from the BuildKit secret mount inside the same RUN (since secrets don't persist as env across layers).

  Note on F14: The canonical .npmrc (host-side) template already uses ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER} (shipped in common-plat commit 610a59fd). .npmrc.docker lagged behind because Docker builds have a separate file — A0-1 brings them into parity.

• A0-2. Remove pnpm-lock.yaml from .dockerignore in both repos (fixes F1; harmless under --lockfile=false since we don't COPY it, but unblocks future A3)

• A0-3. Add GITEA_NPM_HOST + GITEA_NPM_OWNER build args + secrets: block to every service in docker-compose.yml:

  build:
    context: .
    dockerfile: backend/Dockerfile
    args:
      GITEA_NPM_HOST: ${GITEA_NPM_HOST:-host.docker.internal}
      GITEA_NPM_OWNER: ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER:-learning_ai_user}
    secrets:
      - gitea_npm_token
  secrets:
    gitea_npm_token:
      environment: GITEA_NPM_TOKEN
  

• A0-4. Add extra_hosts: ["host.docker.internal:host-gateway"] to each service so Linux Docker can resolve the host

• A0-5. Document required env: GITEA_NPM_TOKEN must be exported in the shell that runs docker compose build (add to repo README.md quickstart). Reference bash ../learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/gitea/token.sh status for verification.

• A0-D. Run gitea-doctor before any Docker build (addresses F15). Inline into deploy/CI workflows:

  bash ../learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/gitea/doctor.sh --quiet || exit 1
  docker compose build
  

  • Locally: shell alias or Makefile target make build that runs doctor then docker compose build.
  • In Gitea Actions CI: a pre-job step. If doctor exits non-zero, the build is skipped with a clear error rather than failing 4 minutes in with ERR_PNPM_AUTHENTICATION.

• A0-V. Verification gate (between A0 and A1): build the registry path without any cache-mount or layer optimizations. Confirm docker compose build --no-cache succeeds end-to-end pulling from Gitea. Only proceed to A1 once this is green. Don't conflate "make it work" with "make it fast" in one commit.

  2026-05-27 status — clock A0-V: ✅ PASSED (third attempt, after F16, F17, F18 fixed). Cold-build wall-clock:

  • backend: 59.2 s (commits: clock@0be887288 + common-plat@cfcfc7bb + common-plat@dd90f709)
  • web: 3:13 (193 s) (commits: above + clock@8b5c767a3)

  Both surfaces resolve @bytelyst/* from the Gitea registry end-to-end — no docker-prep.sh tarballs, no sibling file: refs, no proxy interference. See §3.A7 metrics table.

A1. Replace npm install -g pnpm@X with corepack

• A1-1. Replace RUN npm install -g pnpm@10.6.5 with:

  RUN corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@10.6.5 --activate
  

• A1-2. Verify packageManager field in backend/package.json and web/package.json matches (already pnpm@10.6.5 in peakpulse backend)

A2. Add BuildKit pnpm-store cache mount

• A2-1. Set # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.7 directive at top of every Dockerfile
• A2-2. Wrap install step with cache + secret mount:

  RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/root/.local/share/pnpm/store \
      --mount=type=secret,id=gitea_npm_token \
      export GITEA_NPM_TOKEN="$(cat /run/secrets/gitea_npm_token 2>/dev/null || echo '')" && \
      pnpm install --ignore-scripts --lockfile=false
  

• A2-3. Verify cache mount is active: docker buildx du --filter type=exec.cachemount shows non-zero size after a build. Real success metric is wall-clock: warm rebuild (touching one source file) drops to < 30 s.

A3. Decide lockfile policy ✅ DONE (ADR-0001)

Two options — pick one in a short ADR before implementing:

• Option 1: Keep --lockfile=false (current pragmatic approach)

  • ✅ No sibling-workspace complications
  • ❌ No reproducibility guarantee inside Docker
  • ❌ Slower installs (full resolution every build)

• Option 2: Generate a Docker-only lockfile via pnpm install --lockfile-only against a flattened package.json that resolves @bytelyst/* to semver

  • ✅ Reproducibility
  • ✅ Faster installs
  • ❌ New build step + tooling
  • ❌ Drift risk between dev lockfile and Docker lockfile

• A3-1. ADR written: docs/adr/0001-docker-build-lockfile-policy.md — Option 1 accepted (keep --lockfile=false short-term; revisit after Phase D).

• A3-2. --frozen-lockfile adoption deferred per ADR; tracked as future work in §11.

A4. Restructure layer order

• A4-1. Reorder COPY/RUN so deps-install layer is package.json + .npmrc.docker ONLY, then a separate layer for src/, config files, shared/
• A4-2. Move all ARG lines that affect deps install before the install step; move NEXT_PUBLIC_* ARGs (web) closer to the build step (they invalidate the build layer, not the deps layer)

A5. Gate .docker-deps/ behind a build arg

• A5-1. Add ARG USE_TARBALLS=false to Dockerfile
• A5-2. Use wildcard COPY so missing dir doesn't break the build:

  RUN mkdir -p /app/.docker-deps
  COPY .docker-deps* /app/.docker-deps/
  

• A5-3. Verify .docker-deps/ is in .gitignore and .dockerignore does NOT exclude it when tarball mode is in use

A6. .dockerignore audit

• A6-1. Confirm exclusions: node_modules, **/node_modules, dist, .next, *.log, .env, .env.*, .git, *.bak
• A6-2. Remove: pnpm-lock.yaml exclusion (was correct under --lockfile=false, blocks future optimization)
• A6-3. Confirm .docker-deps/ is NOT excluded when tarball path is active

A7. Measure & record

Repo	Surface	Cold (A0-V)	Cold (post-A2)	Warm (post-A2)	Notes
clock	backend	59.2 s	64.7 s	2.9 s	Cold essentially flat (corepack adds ~1 s; cache mount empty on first run). Warm → 95.1% reduction. Commits: clock@8b5c767a3 (A0-V), clock@f6a806ff3 (A1+A8+A9), clock@55e8d22d3 (A2+A5+A6)
clock	web	193 s (3:13)	291 s (4:51) †	5.4 s	Warm → 97.2% reduction. † Cold variance — see footer
peakpulse	backend	— (was tarball-only path)	72.2 s	2.7 s	Warm → 96.3% reduction. Commits: peakpulse@11a6bc5 (Phase A), peakpulse@6523a1a (.gitkeep fix), clock@1465e06b1+d69003c1f (mirror .gitkeep fix)

Footer note on cold-build variance. Cold builds (--no-cache) are dominated by network egress for ~50 @bytelyst/* tarballs through the corp proxy. A second measurement of clock web cold-build came in at 291 s vs 174 s in the previous step — same Dockerfile path, different network-side latency. Cold build is not the optimization target of this roadmap; warm rebuild is. Run pnpm store prune on the host or use a local registry mirror if cold-build determinism is needed.

Measurement commands:

# Cold (clear all layer cache; cache mounts may still persist)
time DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker compose build --no-cache backend

# Warm (one source file changed; deps unchanged)
touch backend/src/server.ts
time DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker compose build backend

# Deps-changed (touch package.json; pnpm store cache helps here)
touch backend/package.json
time DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker compose build backend

A8. Config-file COPY audit & canonical pattern (addresses F11, F13)

• A8-1. For every Dockerfile in scope, list all build-time files present in the surface directory (web/ or backend/) that affect the build:
  • postcss.config.{js,mjs,cjs,ts}
  • tailwind.config.{js,mjs,cjs,ts}
  • next.config.{js,mjs,ts}
  • tsconfig*.json
  • package.json
  • .npmrc.docker, .npmrc
  • babel.config.* (if present)
  • drizzle.config.* (if present)
  • vitest.config.* (only if the build needs it) Verify each is COPY'd in the Dockerfile.
• A8-2. Choose canonical COPY pattern. Decision: middle-ground glob for web surfaces:

  COPY web/*.{json,ts,mjs,js,cjs} ./
  COPY web/public/ ./public/
  COPY web/src/ ./src/
  

  Trade-off: glob picks up unintended root-level files if any are added later, but dramatically reduces F11/F13 risk. Backend surfaces with few root config files can keep enumerated COPY (lower risk surface).
• A8-3. Repo-by-repo migration: replace enumerated COPY web/foo ./foo with the glob pattern; verify the resulting image has all expected files via docker run --rm <img> ls -la.

A9. Healthcheck canonicalization (addresses F12)

• A9-1. Replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 in every docker-compose*.yml healthcheck test: block. Sweep with:

  rg -l 'http://localhost' --glob 'docker-compose*.yml'
  

• A9-2. Standardize healthcheck shape:
  • Alpine-based images:

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "wget -q --spider http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/health || exit 1"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 10s
    

  • Slim/Debian images (wget not always present, but node is):

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "node -e \"fetch('http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/health').then(r=>process.exit(r.ok?0:1)).catch(()=>process.exit(1))\""]
    

• A9-3. Add start_period (10s minimum) — prevents flaky "container started but app not yet listening" false-negatives.

---

4. Phase B — Hermetic-fallback polish (docker-prep.sh)

docker-prep.sh is duplicated with minor variations across product repos. Promotion to canonical home is now in Phase B, not Phase D — drift compounds linearly with time and the .npmrc template precedent proves the pattern is cheap.

• B1. --dry-run flag (common-plat@a418a23e).

• B2. Idempotency guard via *.bak detection + --force override (common-plat@a418a23e).

• B3. .docker-deps/ and *.bak in .gitignore on both pilots (clock + peakpulse). Verified by docker-doctor.sh.

• B4. Pre-commit hook landed. Canonical guard script check-docker-prep-staged.sh (common-plat@c908c6d7) blocks rewritten package.json, staged .tgz tarballs, and .bak files. Wired into both pilot .husky/pre-commit (clock@4f8086bfa, peakpulse@c3195c8). Verified with simulated staged tarballs → commit blocked.

  Original spec:

  # .husky/pre-commit
  if git diff --cached --name-only | xargs grep -l '"file:\.\./\.docker-deps/' 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "ERROR: rewritten package.json detected. Run scripts/docker-prep.sh --restore first."
    exit 1
  fi
  if git diff --cached --name-only | grep -qE '(\.docker-deps/.*\.tgz|package\.json\.bak)$'; then
    echo "ERROR: docker-prep.sh artifacts staged. Run --restore first."
    exit 1
  fi
  

• B5. Auto-restore on script error via trap cleanup_on_error EXIT + --keep opt-out (common-plat@a418a23e).

• B6. Standardized header + usage block per § 7.4 template (common-plat@a418a23e).

• B7. CANONICAL HOME landed.

  • B7-1. Canonical at learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/docker-prep.template.sh + 2 helpers _docker-prep-inject.js, _docker-prep-strip.js (common-plat@a418a23e).
  • B7-2. learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/sync-docker-prep.sh syncs all 3 files (mirrors sync-npmrc.sh).
  • B7-3. learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/check-docker-prep-drift.sh for CI (mirrors check-npmrc-drift.sh).
  • B7-4. AGENTS.md "NEVER edit docker-prep.sh directly" warning section landed in all 9 consumer repos (clock@77a81d252, peakpulse@3b18a35, notes@6b3bd0a, fastgap@ccbfa52, jarvis_jr@a6968ae, flowmonk@6653357, trails@67e0231, local_memory_gpt@5cfa32c, efforise@eb04ffc).

• B8. --strip-overrides option removes pnpm.overrides block as a safety net (common-plat@a418a23e).

• B+. --check mode for CI-friendly state verification (bonus, not in original spec).

• B+. Portable sed -i (BSD on macOS, GNU on Linux).

• B+. Preserve .docker-deps/.gitkeep on clear (fixes earlier regression where --restore deleted the tracked file).

5. Phase C — Verification gates

Pilot exit criteria (must all pass before Phase D):

• C1. Cold Docker build succeeds via Gitea-registry path on peakpulse backend (64 s, no docker-prep.sh invocation).
• C2. Warm rebuild well under 30 s threshold on both pilots: peakpulse backend 2.6 s, clock backend 3.3 s.
• C3. docker-prep.sh → --check → --restore leaves git status clean on both pilots (verified end-to-end during Phase B testing).
• C4. Pre-commit hook blocks staged tarballs + .bak files (verified by simulating staged artifacts on clock).
• [~] C5. Gitea Actions CI green — partially validated. Workflow YAML is well-formed in both pilots (clock@4f8086bfa, peakpulse@c3195c8); local simulation of the docker-lint job (bash scripts/gitea/doctor.sh --quiet && bash scripts/docker-doctor.sh --quiet) exits 0 on both pilots. Gap: the pilot repos are not currently hosted on Gitea (http://localhost:3300/learning_ai_user/ has only learning_ai_uxui_web), so the workflow file ships but the runner never fires. A dummy git push gitea returns 404. C5 will fully close when the pilot repos are mirrored to Gitea (see learning_ai_common_plat/docs/runbooks/GITEA_VM_SETUP.md for the hosting setup).
• C6. Build-time metrics already populated in § 3.A7 from earlier Phase A work.
• C7. ADR-0001 recorded (devops_tools/docs/adr/0001-docker-build-lockfile-policy.md).
• C8. docker-doctor.sh PASS on both pilots (only the 1 expected pnpm-lock.yaml excluded warning per ADR-0001 + occasional GITEA_NPM_OWNER compose warning).
• C9. Web smoke test landed as Playwright spec web/e2e/css-bundle-smoke.spec.ts (clock@b8440bfea). Asserts title sanity + largest CSS bundle > 20 KB. Catches F11 regression at PR time.

6. Phase D — Ecosystem rollout

Status: DONE for all 12 consumer repos. D.1 artifacts + D.2 Dockerfile/compose fixes + D.3 advisory-warning cleanup + B7-4 AGENTS.md notes. docker-doctor exits PASS in every repo. Three additional repos onboarded post-v12: MindLyst (learning_multimodal_memory_agents), LysnrAI (learning_voice_ai_agent), talk2obsidian (learning_ai_talk2obsidian).

D.1 — Tooling rollout (DONE)

All 9 consumer repos received the canonical infrastructure via sync-docker-prep.sh:

• scripts/docker-prep.sh + _docker-prep-inject.js + _docker-prep-strip.js (canonical sync)
• scripts/docker-doctor.sh (thin wrapper to canonical linter)
• Makefile with make doctor target

learning_multimodal_memory_agents (MindLyst)	84a5d10	full playbook applied (mindlyst-native/web/Dockerfile + backend/Dockerfile)
learning_voice_ai_agent (LysnrAI)	0f1fa64	full playbook applied (backend + user-dashboard-web + backend-python — Python Dockerfile correctly skips Node checks)
learning_ai_auth_app	n/a	iOS/Android — no Docker surfaces
learning_ai_talk2obsidian	793089e	lighter rollout — single-stage Dockerfile, no .docker-deps/ pattern; docker-doctor + Makefile + AGENTS.md note + syntax directive + .gitignore rules

D.2 — Per-repo Dockerfile/compose fixes (DONE)

All 7 consumer repos received mechanical Phase D.2 fixes via an idempotent fixer script. Each repo's docker-doctor.sh now exits PASS (warnings only).

Repo	Fix commit	docker-doctor result
learning_ai_notes	b23a601	PASS (1 warning: compose GITEA_NPM_OWNER arg)
learning_ai_fastgap	af2463d	PASS (1 warning: ADR-0001 pnpm-lock.yaml)
learning_ai_jarvis_jr	1a97a3f	PASS (1 warning: ADR-0001 pnpm-lock.yaml)
learning_ai_flowmonk	412a657	PASS (1 warning: compose GITEA_NPM_OWNER arg)
learning_ai_trails	733477a	PASS (1 warning: compose GITEA_NPM_OWNER arg)
learning_ai_local_memory_gpt	8c68595	PASS (1 warning: compose GITEA_NPM_OWNER arg)
learning_ai_efforise	06ea0d0	PASS (1 warning: healthcheck start_period)

Applied fixes (each fix is idempotent):

Finding	Fix
F12 healthcheck localhost	Replaced with 127.0.0.1
F14 missing ARG GITEA_NPM_OWNER	Added alongside ARG GITEA_NPM_HOST
A5-2 rigid COPY .docker-deps/	Changed to wildcard COPY .docker-deps* ...
F11/F13 enumerated web config COPY	Replaced with glob COPY web/*.json web/*.ts web/*.mjs ./
A2 missing syntax directive	Added # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.7
F4/F14 hardcoded .npmrc.docker	Rewrote with canonical ${GITEA_NPM_HOST}/${GITEA_NPM_OWNER} template
B3 .gitignore missing *.bak	Added rule
B3 missing .docker-deps/.gitkeep	Created

D.3 — Advisory-warning cleanup (DONE)

Mechanical follow-up pass via /tmp/fix-compose-warnings.sh + /tmp/add-build-args.py (commits below) eliminated most advisory warnings across 10 repos:

Repo	Cleanup commit
learning_ai_clock	3de867a80
learning_ai_notes	5687e5a
learning_ai_fastgap	94a81ac
learning_ai_jarvis_jr	ed1cb88
learning_ai_flowmonk	938717f
learning_ai_trails	8837216
learning_ai_local_memory_gpt	0a486ac
learning_ai_efforise	ff517f4
learning_multimodal_memory_agents	7304ca1
learning_voice_ai_agent	13291b9

Each repo got:

• docker-compose.yml: full build.args: block injected with GITEA_NPM_HOST + GITEA_NPM_OWNER (where missing)
• docker-compose.yml: start_period: 30s added to healthcheck blocks (where missing) to prevent false cold-start failures

D.4 — Final status

All 12 consumer repos now report docker-doctor: PASS with zero errors and at most a handful of expected advisory warnings (pnpm-lock.yaml excluded per ADR-0001; talk2obsidian's short-form build: . which would need yaml conversion to declare args).

7.4 Hardened docker-prep.sh header

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Hermetic Docker-build helper. Packs @bytelyst/* tarballs from the sibling
# common-plat repo when the Gitea npm registry is unreachable.
#
# Use this ONLY when:
#   - Local Gitea registry (:3300) is down or unreachable, OR
#   - You need a Docker build that includes uncommitted common-plat changes.
#
# For normal builds (Gitea up + clean common-plat), use:
#   docker compose build
#
# Usage:
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh             # pack tarballs + rewrite package.json
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh --dry-run   # show what would change (no side effects)
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh --force     # override idempotency guard
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh --restore   # undo rewrite
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh --keep      # skip auto-restore on error
#   ./scripts/docker-prep.sh --strip-overrides  # remove pnpm.overrides block
#
# Side effects:
#   - Creates .docker-deps/ (gitignored)
#   - Backs up package.json → package.json.bak
#   - Rewrites @bytelyst/* deps to file:../.docker-deps/<tarball>
#   - Injects pnpm.overrides for transitive @bytelyst/* deps
#
# Safety:
#   - Refuses to run if .bak files already exist (unless --force)
#   - Auto-restores on error (trap EXIT) unless --keep passed
#   - Pre-commit hook blocks committing rewritten package.json, .tgz, .bak

8. Phase E — Observability / lint (NEW)

Two complementary linters:

1. gitea-doctor — Gitea registry pre-flight (env + token + connectivity). Already shipped in common-plat commit 610a59fd at scripts/gitea/doctor.sh. This roadmap only wires it into CI/build flows (A0-D + E0 below).
2. docker-doctor — Dockerfile + compose-file static linter (see § 7.6 skeleton). To be built as part of this roadmap.

The two are intentionally separate concerns:

Linter	Scope	When to run
gitea-doctor	runtime env, token, registry HTTP 200	Before every build / deploy
docker-doctor	static analysis of Dockerfile + compose YAML	On every PR touching those files

Phase E checklist

• E0. Wire bash scripts/gitea/doctor.sh --quiet into every Gitea Actions CI workflow as a pre-build job (addresses F15). Pattern shipped in common-plat; replicate via a reusable actions/gitea-preflight@main composite if Gitea Actions supports it, otherwise inline.
• E1. Canonical docker-doctor.sh landed in learning_ai_common_plat/scripts/docker-doctor.sh (common-plat@130883a7). 15 checks codified from F1–F18; verified PASS on both pilots and FAIL on un-migrated control (learning_ai_notes).
• E2. Per-repo wrappers landed: clock@aa5202fe7, peakpulse@af207b7.
• E3. Wire into CI: run on PRs touching Dockerfile, docker-compose*.yml, .dockerignore, .npmrc.docker
• E4. Wire into pre-commit hook (warning-only at first, error after 2 weeks)
• E5. Checks documented in learning_ai_common_plat/AI.dev/SKILLS/docker-doctor.md (common-plat@130883a7).
• E6. Add make doctor target to each pilot repo that runs both gitea-doctor AND docker-doctor

Checks implemented by docker-doctor.sh:

Check	Addresses	Action
Every web/*.config.* file is COPY'd	F11, F13	Error
docker-compose.yml healthcheck uses 127.0.0.1	F12	Error
.npmrc.docker uses ${GITEA_NPM_HOST} AND ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER} placeholders	F4, F14	Error
Dockerfile declares ARG GITEA_NPM_OWNER if it COPYs .npmrc.docker	F14	Error
.dockerignore doesn't exclude pnpm-lock.yaml	F1	Warn (until A3 ADR lands)
Base image is on approved list (node:22-alpine or node:22-slim via BASE_IMAGE ARG)	Canonical decision	Error
.docker-deps/ and *.bak in .gitignore	B3	Error
docker-compose.yml passes GITEA_NPM_OWNER build arg	F14	Warn

9. Open questions (numbered TODOs, not blockers)

1. Shared pnpm cache volume? BuildKit caches are already shared across builds by id=pnpm. Test whether a named Docker volume adds anything before adding complexity.
2. Custom base image? Publish bytelyst/node-pnpm:22{alpine,slim} with pnpm pre-installed to skip corepack. Cost: image maintenance; benefit: ~5 s/build.
3. CI hostname? Verify host.docker.internal:host-gateway works in Gitea Actions Linux runners, or if a CI-specific Dockerfile variant is needed.
4. Multi-platform builds? linux/amd64 + linux/arm64 interact awkwardly with cache mounts under buildx. Defer to separate roadmap.
5. Workspace flattening? Eliminate the ../learning_ai_common_plat/packages/* workspace entry inside Docker via a flattened pnpm-workspace.yaml. Unlocks --frozen-lockfile. Requires lockfile regeneration step.

---

10. Execution order

1. ✅ v5 commit: roadmap doc v5 lands; F16 documented (devops_tools@ba8b4d1).
2. ✅ Phase A0 on learning_ai_clock — Dockerfile + compose changes landed in clock@0be887288. Initial A0-V blocked on F16/F17/F18.
3. ✅ F16 fix in common-plat — workspace:* rewriter + defense-in-depth guard + republish of 10 affected packages (common-plat@cfcfc7bb).
4. ✅ F17 fix in common-plat + Gitea config — ROOT_URL=host.docker.internal:3300, /etc/hosts entry, NO_PROXY update, bulk republish of all 64 packages (common-plat@dd90f709).
5. ✅ F18 fix in clock — 4 file: refs in web/package.json rewritten to * (clock@8b5c767a3).
6. ✅ A0-V on clock PASSED. v6 commit lands (devops_tools@7627d55).
7. ✅ A8 + A9 + A1 on clock (correctness + corepack) — clock@f6a806ff3. Web cold dropped to 174 s; backend essentially flat at 60 s. F11 guard verified (Tailwind utilities present in CSS bundle).
8. ✅ A2 + A4 + A5 + A6 on clock (cache mount + dockerignore) — clock@55e8d22d3. Warm rebuilds: backend 2.9 s, web 5.4 s (95–97% reduction). A7 metrics table populated this commit.
9. ✅ Phase A0 → A6 on learning_ai_peakpulse backend (peakpulse@11a6bc5). Cold 72.2 s, warm 2.7 s. Pattern from clock applied verbatim, plus a side fix for .docker-deps/.gitkeep discoverability that was also
10. ✅ A3 ADR — docs/adr/0001-docker-build-lockfile-policy.md. Decision: keep --lockfile=false (Option A) until production traffic / audit / supply-chain incident triggers migration to vendored pnpm-lock.docker.yaml (Option C). Implementation deferred.
11. ✅ Phase E1/E2/E5 — docker-doctor.sh linter landed in common-plat (common-plat@130883a7) + per-repo wrappers (clock@aa5202fe7, peakpulse@af207b7) + SKILLS doc. Verified PASS on both pilots, FAIL with 6 specific findings on un-migrated control (learning_ai_notes).
12. ✅ Phase B — docker-prep.sh hardened + promoted to canonical home in common-plat (common-plat@a418a23e). Synced to both pilots (clock@27034d90f, peakpulse@563a45e). Verified end-to-end on both pilots: dry-run → pack → check (fail) → idempotency guard → restore → git status clean.
13. ✅ Phase B4 + E3/E4/E6 — pre-commit guard (common-plat@c908c6d7) + .husky/pre-commit wiring on both pilots (clock@4f8086bfa, peakpulse@c3195c8) + make doctor target + Gitea Actions docker-lint job. Verified guard blocks simulated staged tarballs.
14. ✅ Phase C — 8/9 gates pass; C5 partially validated (workflow YAML well-formed; local docker-lint simulation exits 0; pilots not yet Gitea-hosted so runner does not fire). Cold build 64 s, warm 2.6 s / 3.3 s.
15. ✅ Phase D.1 (artifacts) — 7 consumer repos synced with canonical docker-prep + docker-doctor wrapper + Makefile (commits in §6.D.1).
16. ✅ Phase D.2 (per-repo Dockerfile fixes) — all 7 consumer repos PASS docker-doctor after applying mechanical fixes (commits in §6.D.2). Web smoke test (C9) landed on clock to guard F11 regression.
17. ✅ B7-4 AGENTS.md "do not edit" warnings — landed in all 12 consumer repos.
18. ✅ Phase D extension — MindLyst (84a5d10), LysnrAI (0f1fa64), talk2obsidian (793089e) brought into the consumer list. sync-docker-prep.sh now lists 12 consumers; docker-doctor learned to detect Python Dockerfiles and skip Node-specific checks (common-plat@fe979fc7).
19. ✅ Phase D.3 advisory-warning cleanup — 10 repos received mechanical build.args injection + healthcheck.start_period additions. All 12 repos now docker-doctor: PASS with zero errors.
20. ~ C5 partial validation (this session) — dummy commit pushed to clock (682f9629b/2f9c8c39a), confirmed git push gitea returns 404 (pilot repos not hosted on Gitea — only learning_ai_uxui_web exists there). Workflow YAML validates; local docker-lint simulation exit 0. C5 will fully close once pilot repos are mirrored to Gitea per learning_ai_common_plat/docs/runbooks/GITEA_VM_SETUP.md.

11. Risk register

Risk	Mitigation
Removing pnpm-lock.yaml from .dockerignore exposes a stale or sibling-aware lockfile that breaks Docker installs	Keep --lockfile=false for now (A3 ADR); revisit after F2 resolution
BuildKit cache mount on shared CI runners causes cross-build interference	Use distinct id= per repo (id=pnpm-${repo}) if observed
host.docker.internal doesn't resolve in Linux Docker	extra_hosts: ["host.docker.internal:host-gateway"] (A0-4)
Removing .docker-deps/ from default builds breaks repos that haven't done A0 yet	Wildcard COPY .docker-deps* keeps both paths working during migration
docker-prep.sh --force is misused and .bak files get committed	Pre-commit hook (B4) blocks .bak, .tgz, rewritten package.json
Corp network blocks host.docker.internal:3300	Verify SSH tunnel reaches Gitea; document in operations.md
F11 regression: build green, app ships with no CSS	C9 smoke test + Phase E docker-doctor.sh check on web/*.config.* COPY coverage
F12 regression: healthcheck false-fails on IPv6	Phase E docker-doctor.sh grep for localhost in compose files
F13 regression: new config file added, Dockerfile forgotten	A8-2 glob COPY pattern (root cause fix) + Phase E lint (defense in depth)
BASE_IMAGE override in notes diverges silently from canonical	Phase E check approved list; document override in repo AGENTS.md
F14 regression: future Gitea owner rename re-introduces literal in some Dockerfile	Phase E docker-doctor.sh checks .npmrc.docker for ${GITEA_NPM_OWNER} placeholder + Dockerfile for ARG GITEA_NPM_OWNER declaration
F15: stale token in dev shell hits build mid-way through, wastes ~4 min	A0-D + E0 wire gitea-doctor as pre-build gate; refuses to start build if env/file drift detected
F16: publish-side workspace:* leak silently breaks Docker registry path; only surfaces 60+ s into pnpm install	A-pre republish + publish-time guard in common-plat; recurring scan via Phase E docker-doctor.sh against the registry; do not check off any A0-V until clean
F17 regression: someone publishes from a shell that points Gitea ROOT_URL back to localhost	Phase E docker-doctor.sh scans 5 random package tarball URLs in the registry and asserts they use host.docker.internal; gitea-doctor adds the same check
F18 regression: new product repo introduces file: ref to sibling package	Phase E docker-doctor.sh greps **/package.json for "file:../../learning_ai_common_plat" and errors; runs in pre-commit hook
Corp proxy regression: host.docker.internal falls out of NO_PROXY on a dev machine	switch-network.sh is the canonical source; gitea-doctor already checks token-vs-env drift, extend to also check NO_PROXY membership
