+# Guestbook demo runbook
+
+A step-by-step script for showing Miabi with the guestbook. Each act builds on
+the previous one and takes 3–8 minutes. Skip acts freely: everything after
+act 2 only assumes the app is deployed.
+
+Keep two windows open: the **wall** (`https://<domain>/`) and the **admin
+console** (`https://<domain>/admin`). A third tab on the Miabi app page is
+handy for logs, events and scaling.
+
+| Act | Shows | Miabi features |
+|-----|-------|----------------|
+| 1 | Deploy from Git / image | pipeline, build, domain + TLS |
+| 2 | Managed Postgres | databases, env injection |
+| 3 | Secrets + admin console | secret env vars |
+| 4 | Scale out → broken live updates | replicas |
+| 5 | Attach Redis → fixed | managed Redis, env prefix |
+| 6 | Break it on purpose | restarts, health gating, alerts, logs, analytics |
+| 7 | Canary v1 → v2 | canary weights, promote |
+| 8 | Scheduled cleanup | cron jobs |
+
+---
+
+## 0. Prepare (before the session)
+
+```bash
+docker build --build-arg VERSION=1.0.0 -t <registry>/guestbook:1.0.0 .
+docker build --build-arg VERSION=2.0.0 -t <registry>/guestbook:2.0.0 .
+docker push <registry>/guestbook:1.0.0 && docker push <registry>/guestbook:2.0.0
+```
+
+- Pick an admin token: `openssl rand -hex 16`.
+- Create an empty Postgres and a Redis in the workspace ahead of time, since provisioning is slower than talking.
+- Open `scripts/hammer.sh` in a terminal (see act 7).
+
+## 1. Deploy
+
+1. **New application**, from the Git repo (the `.miabi/pipeline.yaml` builds, scans and deploys) or from image `guestbook:1.0.0`.
+2. Port `8080`. **Health check**: HTTP, path `/healthz`. (The default is *none*, and without it act 6 loses its punch.)
+3. Add a domain. TLS is issued automatically.
+4. Open the wall. It runs on **SQLite**, as the first seeded signature says.
+
+> Talking point: zero config. With no database attached the app falls back
+> to a local SQLite file. Mount a volume at `/data` if you want it to survive
+> redeploys.
+
+## 2. Attach Postgres
+
+1. App → **Databases** → attach the Postgres, **no prefix**.
+2. Miabi injects `DATABASE_URL` (as a secret reference) plus `DB_*` and flags the app for redeploy.
+3. Redeploy. The app migrates the schema and seeds the wall on first boot. The welcome signature now says *PostgreSQL*.
+
+## 3. Secrets and the admin console
+
+1. App → **Environment** → add `ADMIN_TOKEN` = your token, marked **secret**. Add `DEBUG_ENDPOINTS=true` too (used in act 6).
+2. Redeploy, open `/admin` and sign in with the token.
+3. Tour it:
+   - **Overview**: signatures per day, replicas, and *this replica*'s runtime (host, DB, uptime, memory).
+   - **Moderation**: each signature shows the signer's IP, forwarded by the gateway. Click one to filter by it. Pin a signature. It jumps to the top of every open wall, live. Hide one and it disappears.
+   - **Settings**: set a banner ("Welcome to the Miabi training 👋"), then toggle **Pause signing**. The wall goes read-only instantly in every tab.
+
+> Talking point: the token never appears in the app's config in plain text.
+> Rotating it (edit + redeploy) signs every admin out, because sessions are
+> HMAC-signed with it.
+
+Ask the audience to open the wall on their phones and sign it. The
+**online** counter climbs live.
+
+## 4. Scale out, and watch it break
+
+1. App → **Replicas** → scale to **3**.
+2. In the admin **Overview**, the *served by* chip changes as you refresh, but the **Replicas** table only ever lists one host. The hint says *in-process broker*.
+3. Open the wall in two browsers (or phones) until their clock cards show **different hosts**. Sign in one: **the other doesn't update.** Each replica only pushes to its own SSE clients.
+4. Also note the `via replica-x` tag on new signatures: each one records which replica accepted it.
+
+> Talking point: this is the classic "works on one box" bug. Stateless apps
+> need shared state for fan-out. Scaling is a platform feature; being
+> scalable is an app property.
+
+## 5. Attach Redis, and it's fixed
+
+1. App → **Databases** → attach the Redis with prefix **`REDIS`**. Miabi injects `REDIS_DATABASE_URL`, which the app reads (so does `REDIS_URL`).
+2. Redeploy. Startup logs show `live updates ready broker=redis`.
+3. Repeat the two-browser test: signatures now appear everywhere. The **Replicas** table lists all 3 hosts with their client counts, and the wall header says *3 replicas*.
+4. **Chaos lab → Traffic probe** → *Run probe*: the bars show requests spread across the three hosts.
+
+## 6. Break it on purpose
+
+All buttons are in the admin **Chaos lab**. Each acts on *the replica that
+receives the request*, and the activity log shows which one.
+
+| Button | What happens | Where to look in Miabi |
+|--------|--------------|------------------------|
+| 💥 Crash it | process exits 1; the restart policy restarts it; the page reports when it's back | app **Events**, **Notifications** (crash-loop if repeated) |
+| 🩺 Unhealthy | `/healthz` → 503 on that replica | `app_unhealthy` alert; a deploy made now fails the health gate |
+| 🔥 CPU burn | all cores busy for N s | app metrics |
+| 🧠 Hold memory | allocates N MiB. Set a **Memory limit** of 256 MB first, then hold 400 MiB → OOM kill → restart | `app_oom` alert |
+| 📜 Log burst | N error lines | **Logs** tab (Live) |
+| Probe `/api/debug/slow` | 400 ms latency | **Analytics → Performance** |
+| Probe `/api/debug/error` | 5xx responses | **Analytics → HTTP Traffic** |
+
+The same endpoints work from a shell:
+
+```bash
+T=<admin-token>; D=https://<domain>
+curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $T" $D/api/debug/crash
+curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $T" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"healthy":false}' $D/api/debug/health
+curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $T" "$D/api/debug/memory?mb=400&seconds=30"
+```
+
+Remember to click **Healthy** afterwards, or redeploy.
+
+## 7. Canary v1 → v2
+
+1. In a terminal: `scripts/hammer.sh https://<domain>`. It prints a live count and, on Ctrl-C, a tally of `status version host`.
+2. Set **deploy strategy** to *canary* (initial weight 10%), and deploy image `2.0.0`.
+3. On the wall, reload a few times: ~1 in 10 loads shows the **v2 badge** in a different colour. In the admin **Traffic probe**, the bars split by version.
+4. **Promote now.** The probe goes 100% v2, and `hammer.sh` should show `0 failed`.
+
+> The v2 build is the same code with a different `VERSION`. Nothing needs to
+> differ for the demo to work.
+
+## 8. Scheduled cleanup
+
+The binary has a `cleanup` subcommand that permanently removes deleted
+signatures and optionally expires old ones:
+
+```bash
+guestbook cleanup --purge-after 168h              # default: purge deletes older than 7 days
+guestbook cleanup --max-age 720h --dry-run        # preview expiring >30-day-old, unpinned entries
+```
+
+1. **Jobs** → *New cronjob*, image blank (uses the app's image), command `/app/guestbook cleanup --purge-after 1h`, schedule `*/15 * * * *`.
+2. Delete a signature in **Moderation**, then **Run now**. The job log shows `cleanup finished purged=… remaining=…`.
+
+`guestbook migrate` works the same way as a one-off **Job**, for teams that
+want migrations as an explicit step rather than on boot.
+
+---
+
+## Reset between sessions
+
+- Admin → Settings: clear the banner, un-pause.
+- Chaos lab: **Healthy**.
+- To wipe the wall: detach/recreate the database, or `DELETE FROM entries;` and restart (the seed runs when the table is empty).
