jcoffey-dev 13cf9a30cb Rebrand: Sentry -> Cairn OBS
Full rebrand across cosmetic branding, code identifiers, and
infrastructure/data-plane naming, using the supplied Cairn OBS logo
package. Cosmetic: favicon/logo swap (also closes a stale license-audit
finding -- the old favicon was SvelteKit's unreplaced scaffold logo),
new centered welcome landing page, larger/legible sidebar logo, page
titles, CLAUDE.md/README/docs prose.

Code identifiers: Go module path github.com/sentry/sentry ->
github.com/cairnobs/cairnobs across all 13 modules and ~91 files (protoc
regenerated); Rust crates sentry-agent/sentry-parser/sentry-search ->
cairnobs-*; CLI sentryctl -> cairnobsctl; Terraform provider fully
renamed (sentry_dashboard etc. -> cairnobs_dashboard, provider type,
env vars); every session/auth cookie name; agent config paths and
Windows service identity.

Deliberately preserved: the gRPC wire protocol's protobuf packages
(sentry.logs.v1, sentry.agent.v1) and their Go import directory
(proto/sentry/...) -- renaming the wire-level package would break every
currently-deployed agent binary (confirmed two real hosts, including
mail.inbuxa.com, are actively streaming through this exact contract)
until rebuilt and redeployed in lockstep with an ingest cutover. Only
the Go module path wrapping the generated code changes.

Infrastructure: every docker-compose container name (root and three
component-level compose files); the Helm chart (directory, Chart.yaml,
named-template helpers, all templates, values.yaml image repos);
Kubernetes Operator (CRD group sentry.io -> cairnobs.io, both CRD YAML
files, Go identifiers, RBAC markers); the coupled enterprise/tenantcrd
package. Caught and fixed real path-coupling bugs along the way: the
Helm chart's search/ingest volume mounts and the dev-only-credential
detection constant vs. docker-compose.yml's literal values had to move
together or a security warning would have silently stopped firing.

Data plane: Postgres database sentry_metadata -> cairnobs_metadata and
role sentry -> cairnobs; ClickHouse database sentry -> cairnobs; Kafka
topic sentry.logs.raw -> cairnobs.logs.raw and its consumer groups.
Source-level defaults, docker-compose.yml, and every migrate.sh/
provision script default updated together; already-applied migration
files left untouched per this repo's immutable-migration convention.

Verified at every layer: all 13 Go modules build/vet/test clean, both
Rust workspaces (agent, search) build/clippy/test clean, npm run check/
build clean, docker compose config validates on all four compose files.
Live-verified against a real docker stack multiple times through this
work, including a final fresh-volume run confirming the actual renamed
Postgres database/role, ClickHouse database, and Kafka topic all work
end to end with a real login and query, zero console errors.

# api
Cairn OBS's query API: a single `POST /query` endpoint accepting either the
pipe syntax or raw SQL, compiled and routed across ClickHouse and Tantivy
by `internal/querylang`. Replaces Phase 0/1's two separate placeholder
endpoints (raw-SQL-only `/query`, free-text-only `/search`) — see
`/docs/query-language-design.md` for the grammar, IR, and routing design,
and `/docs/query-language-reference.md` for the user-facing syntax.
## Why plain REST, not gRPC + REST gateway
CLAUDE.md pins the control plane to "Go, gRPC + REST gateway." This
service is plain `net/http` instead — a deliberate simplification, not a
change to the pinned stack. Wiring up a `.proto` service,
`google.api.http` annotations, and `protoc-gen-grpc-gateway` codegen for
one endpoint doesn't buy much at this size. `api` *does* speak gRPC
internally — to `/search` — this simplification is about the
public-facing surface only.
## Endpoint
`POST /query` — body `{"query": "...", "language": ""}`, response
`{"columns": [...], "rows": [[...], ...]}` or `{"error": "..."}`.
- `query` is either pipe syntax (`service=api | where status>=500 |
stats count by host`) or raw SQL (`SELECT ...`). Auto-detected by
whether the query starts with `SELECT` (case-insensitive).
- `language` optionally overrides detection: `"sql"` or `"spl"`. Exists
for the rare case a pipe query legitimately starts with the literal
word "select" as a bare search term.
- Both syntaxes compile to the same `querylang/ir.Plan` and execute
through the same code path — see `internal/querylang/executor` for the
four routing cases (pure ClickHouse; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse
rows; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse aggregation; raw SQL passthrough).
`GET /healthz` — for docker-compose/k8s liveness checks.
No auth. Not scoped yet — don't expose this beyond a trusted dev/homelab
network.
## Configuration
Environment variables (see `internal/config/config.go`):
| Var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `HTTP_LISTEN_ADDR` | `:8080` | |
| `CLICKHOUSE_ADDR` | `localhost:9000` | Native protocol port |
| `CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE` / `_USERNAME` / `_PASSWORD` | `sentry` / `default` / `` | |
| `SEARCH_GRPC_ADDR` | `localhost:50052` | Must match `/search`'s `GRPC_LISTEN_ADDR` |
| `QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | `30` | Per-request timeout |
| `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGIN` | `*` | Wide open by default since there's no auth yet; tighten together |
`searchclient.Dial` connects to `/search` over plain TCP, no TLS — same
trust boundary as `api`'s existing plain-TCP connection to ClickHouse.
mTLS in this project is specifically the agent↔ingest edge boundary, not
every internal hop.
## Building & testing
```sh
go build ./...
go vet ./...
go test ./...
```
```sh
# from the repo root, not api/
docker build -f api/Dockerfile -t sentry-api .
```
## Testing notes
`internal/queryapi`'s HTTP handler depends on ClickHouse and `/search`
only through the narrow interfaces `querylang/executor` defines
(`SQLRunner`, `SearchClient`), so routing, compilation, JSON encoding,
and error-status mapping are all unit-tested against fakes — no live
ClickHouse or `/search` instance needed, and the real lexer/parser/
planner run unmocked in these tests, only the backends are faked. See
`internal/querylang`'s own package docs for how compilation and
execution are tested independently of each other. `executor.ChRunner`
(the reflection-based row scanning against ClickHouse's `driver.Rows`)
and `internal/searchclient`'s actual gRPC dial are not unit-tested — the
former because faking `driver.Rows` fully would be significant
test-only scaffolding the driver's own docs say isn't meant to be
implemented by adopters; the latter because it's a thin wrapper with
nothing but wiring to test. Both are exercised end-to-end via the
docker-compose flow in `/docs/phase-2-runbook.md`.
