Kayos d0d3c67a60 bugs: vendored bugs.sulkta.com SDK + /bugs page
Wires cauldron up to the unified Sulkta bug tracker per
memory/spec-bugs-unified-sdk.md (Phases 1-7 shipped 2026-05-02).

What's included:
- Vendored bugs-sulkta-py at cauldron/vendor/bugs_sulkta (4 stdlib-only
  files copied verbatim from Sulkta-Coop/bugs-sulkta-py main). Same
  vendoring approach as TC's backend/api/bugs_sulkta — Docker BuildKit
  can't reach LAN Gitea, so the package ships in the source tree.
- BUGS_API_KEY + BUGS_BASE_URL env (config.py). Empty key = page renders
  "not configured" placeholder; POSTs return 503. Lets dev runs skip
  provisioning a key.
- New routes (server.py): GET /bugs (page), GET /api/bugs (list),
  POST /api/bugs (create). All session-auth. Per-service key returns
  every cauldron report; we filter client-side by user_email so each
  household member sees only their own. Admins get a "show all" toggle.
- bugs.html template in mythic-witch style: subject + message + kind
  + severity form, filed-reports list with status glyphs (📂 open
  🔨 in-progress  resolved  wontfix), relative timestamps.
- _base.html nav: 🐞 bugs link between discover and me.
- Server-side auto-fill: user_email/user_name from session, page_url
  from referrer, user_agent from request headers.

Defaults are dev-safe — no env change required for the LAN soak. When
Cobb mints the key with:
  docker exec bugs-sulkta bugs-sulkta-cli keys create \
    --service=cauldron --scopes=read,write,update \
    --description="cauldron prod"
…drop it into BUGS_API_KEY and the page lights up.

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)
