Four coupled additions that let one portal build serve a second face
(redoal.com) next to uhhm.no:
- type: gesture requirement - gesture.js draws a single stroke on a
DPR-aware canvas (pointer events, touch-action: none), mirrors
{points, key} into the paired hidden input prosekit-style, and -
when content declares relay: wss://... - speaks the redoal-relay
protocol: announce on stroke end, ghost the ack's decoded key path,
show echoes of similar strokes as thumbnails. Offline/broken relay
degrades to a plain drawing input; the widget handle's stop()
closes the socket on SPA navigation (yes.js lifecycle, not
prosekit's fire-and-forget). Submit re-parses gesture values so the
bucket stores a real object, not double-encoded JSON.
- gitea_releases resource source - token-authenticated
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases, for advertising a private repo's
releases (content pins url: null - private html_urls 404 publicly).
- site.yaml branding - optional, at the content repo root: title,
wordmark, hero {kind: yes|gesture|plain, relay}. Absent file means
the historical uhhm look, so uhhm changes nothing without a content
edit. Hot-swapped with questions/aggregates on content reload;
question_lint validates it in both --path and --repo modes.
- deploy.yml ships the same build twice: uhhm-portal (3010) as
before, redoal-portal (3020, CONTENT_REPO=redoal/questions,
redoal.com vhost). Needs host prep + REDOAL_OAUTH2_* repo
secrets/vars before the new steps succeed.

portal
The question runtime behind uhhm.no. Every page,
form, review desk, and state machine it serves is declared in the
questions content repo —
this codebase is the engine that renders, enforces, and records, and
it special-cases none of it.
What the engine provides
- Content-driven pages (
src/content.rs,src/app.rs): YAML loaded from Gitea at boot and hot-swapped on a NATS reload signal; a bad push keeps the last-good content serving. A page'sidis its URL;qualifiesgates it to a Kanidm group. - State machines as content (
src/aggregates/):aggregates.yamldeclares each bucket's states and legal transitions; the engine replays a record's event history and refuses undeclared moves, with optimistic concurrency (CAS on the event log's sequence) against racing decisions. An empty history reseeds from the KV projection, so wiping the event stream strands nothing. - Durable events + projections (
src/events/,src/answers.rs): every submission and decision appends to a JetStream event log and projects into a NATS KV bucket pages read back; every one also publishes onportal.answers.submittedfor automations (n8n) to react to. - Answer chains (
src/chain.rs): each submission hashes its parent(s), so a visitor's path through the questions is a verifiable lineage;?chain=links carry it, and self-service transitions (unsubscribe) authorize by holding one. - Live resources (
src/resource.rs): content can pull a KV bucket, Gitea starred/org repos, or any public JSON URL (SSRF fail-closed), reshaped by a content-declaredjqfilter. - Review desks: any Kv resource with
transitionsrenders rows with per-state action buttons and one shared confirm per alternative — owners walk records through their graphs without bespoke UI per bucket.
Binaries
portal— the server (Leptos SSR + hydrate, Axum underneath).question_lint— headless content validation, run by thequestionsrepo's CI against a prebuilt copy this repo's deploy publishes; also works offline:question_lint --path <dir>.
Development
cargo leptos build # full app (server + wasm)
cargo test --features ssr # engine tests
cargo build --features ssr --bin question_lint
Runtime configuration is env vars (see src/main.rs and
.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml): NATS_URL, CONTENT_REPO/
CONTENT_BRANCH, Kanidm OIDC (KANIDM_URL, OAUTH2_CLIENT_*),
optional GARAGE_* for uploads, GITEA_API_TOKEN for authenticated
resource pulls, AUTOMATION_READ_TOKEN for the automation KV read
endpoint.
Deploy
Pushing main triggers .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml on the
bare-metal runner: release build, ship to
/srv/app/uhhm-portal/releases/<sha>, flip the current symlink,
restart app@uhhm-portal, reload Caddy. Content changes never come
through here — they hot-reload live from the questions repo.
