Kayos 213801ca70 v0.2 foundation — Authentik OIDC + sulkta-mariadb DB + Fernet crypto
Adds the multi-user plumbing layer underneath v0.1's batch-only API:

- DB module (db.py) — PyMySQL against sulkta-mariadb, in-process migrations.
  Tables: cauldron_users, cauldron_user_mealie_tokens, cauldron_chat_log,
  schema_migrations.
- Crypto module (crypto.py) — thin Fernet wrapper. Master key in env,
  per-row encryption of stored Mealie tokens, decrypt only in-process.
- OIDC module (oidc.py) — Authlib-based Authentik integration. Issuer
  https://auth.sulkta.com/application/o/cauldron/, sub_mode=user_email,
  scopes openid+email+profile. App gated to 'Sulkta Family' group.
- Two-tier Mealie shape — system_mealie (env token, admin batch) +
  current_user_mealie() helper that loads + decrypts the calling user's
  token from DB. Per the v0.2 design (memory/spec-cauldron-v0.2.md).
- Connect flow — /connect-mealie pages walk users through minting their
  own Mealie API token and pasting it back. Validated against
  /api/users/self before encryption + storage.
- Routes — /, /login, /auth/callback, /logout, /me, /connect-mealie,
  /disconnect-mealie. v0.1 admin endpoints kept under bearer auth.
- Mealie.who_am_i() helper added.
- Auth flow uses Authentik subject (sub) as the canonical user key.

UI is minimal — connect-mealie page uses the locked palette
(forest #1f2d1f, panels #2d3a2a, meadow #6b8e5a/#88a87a, parchment text
#f0e6cc/#ddd4ba) and Cormorant Garamond serif headers. Strict palette.
The fuller dashboard / plan / list / recipes views land in subsequent
commits.

Authentik provider PK 24, client_id ZIwEugWWWZinR1KcVC9IT9hpGoTds9ps8XDDHPPN.
Group 'Sulkta Family' (pk 6d0c75e9-...) created with cobb member.

Foundation only — Abby's branded UI and the meal-plan / shopping-list
features land in subsequent v0.2 commits.

cauldron

Mealie-backed AI meal planner + shopping list for the family. LAN-only, internal tool. Mealie at recipes.sulkta.com is the source of truth for recipes / meal plans / shopping lists; cauldron is the AI layer + Abby's branded UI on top.

Status

v0.1 — backend bones (current). Ingredient sterilizer endpoint working. No UI yet; bearer-auth API only. Frontend + Authentik OIDC arrives in v0.2. Native Kotlin Android in v0.5.

Surface (v0.1)

GET  /healthz                              liveness + clawdforge upstream
GET  /api/recipes                          list Mealie recipes (paginated)
POST /api/sterilize/preview/<slug>         dry-run AI parse, return proposals
POST /api/sterilize/apply/<slug>           write parses back to Mealie

All routes except /healthz require Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_BEARER>.

Architecture

Abby's phone (later: Kotlin app)
        │
        ▼
  cauldron (Flask, port 7790, LAN-only)
   ├─ Mealie API client  ─── recipes.sulkta.com  (source of truth)
   ├─ clawdforge client  ─── 192.168.0.5:8800   (claude -p runner)
   └─ Authentik OIDC (v0.2)

cauldron does NOT hold its own database in v0.1 — all state lives in Mealie. A small Postgres/MariaDB schema lands in v0.2 for Abby-specific prefs + chat history.

Ingredient sterilizer

Mealie's CRF parser is mediocre. Cobb's hand-typed recipes have lots of free-form quantity strings ("about 2 cups cooked white rice", "1 small handful kale", "a pinch of salt") that don't aggregate cleanly into a shopping list.

The sterilizer batches all ingredients of one recipe into a single Sonnet call (via clawdforge), gets back parallel structured parses, then on apply links each parse to existing Mealie food/unit records (creating any missing by name) and PUTs the recipe back.

Preview is non-destructive — review proposals before apply.

# Dry-run preview
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_BEARER" \
  http://192.168.0.5:7790/api/sterilize/preview/spaghetti-bolognese | jq .

# Apply (creates missing foods/units by default)
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_BEARER" \
  http://192.168.0.5:7790/api/sterilize/apply/spaghetti-bolognese | jq .

Deploy

  1. ssh lucy
  2. cd /mnt/user/appdata && git clone <gitea-url> cauldron && cd cauldron/build (or wherever the deploy convention lands)
  3. Drop .env at /mnt/cache/appdata/secrets/cauldron.env (chmod 600 root:root)
    • CLAWDFORGE_TOKEN is already populated by the bootstrap (see memory/2026-04-28.md)
    • MEALIE_API_TOKEN — mint at recipes.sulkta.com → user → API tokens
    • ADMIN_BEARER — pick 32 bytes of entropy
    • SECRET_KEY — 32 bytes for Flask sessions
  4. docker compose up -d --build
  5. Smoke: curl http://192.168.0.5:7790/healthz

Roadmap

  • v0.1 ✓ — sterilizer backend + Flask shell
  • v0.2 — Authentik OIDC, Abby-branded web UI, palette CSS, postgres for prefs
  • v0.3 — meal plan generator (week → Mealie meal plan write)
  • v0.4 — shopping list aggregator (read meal plan → consolidated grocery list)
  • v0.5 — native Kotlin + Compose Android app (read-only shopping list + plan view)
