* feat(backend): HTTP daemon skeleton — config, health, runfile, graceful shutdown (#10)
Phase 1a of the Go HTTP daemon lane (#10). Stands up the loopback-only
sidecar skeleton the later REST/SSE/WS/static surfaces build on:
- config: env-driven (AO_HOST/PORT/ENV/timeouts/run-file) with zero-config
defaults; binds 127.0.0.1:3001; validates and fails fast on bad input.
- httpd: chi router with the recoverer → request-id → logger → real-ip
middleware stack and /healthz + /readyz probes. Per-request timeout is
carried in config but intentionally not global — it scopes to /api/v1 in
Phase 1b so it never throttles SSE/WS/health.
- runfile: atomic PID + port handshake (running.json) for the Electron
supervisor, with a dead-PID stale check so a crashed predecessor doesn't
block startup while a live one fails fast.
- server: bind-before-publish (port conflict fails fast), graceful shutdown
on SIGINT/SIGTERM via signal.NotifyContext with a 10s hard timeout, and
run-file cleanup on exit.
Why: the daemon must be safely supervisable as a child process — the
supervisor needs a discoverable PID/port and the daemon must not leave a
half-started process or stale handshake behind. Locking the lifecycle down
now keeps the future port split a small change rather than a rewrite.
Tests cover config defaults/overrides/validation, run-file round-trip and
live/dead PID detection, health probes, full Run lifecycle, and port-conflict
fail-fast.

* refactor(backend): drop Env config field — not needed yet (#10)
Per review on #14: AO_ENV / Config.Env / IsProduction() weren't load-bearing
for Phase 1a — they only switched the slog handler. Removing them now keeps
the surface minimal; the env knob can come back later when a real consumer
needs it.
- config: remove Env field, AO_ENV parsing, and IsProduction helper.
- main: collapse newLogger to a single text-handler path.
- httpd: drop the env field from the listening log line.
- tests: drop the env assertions and AO_ENV fixture.

* docs: add backend run + config quick-start to README (#10)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(backend): address Phase 1a review comments (#10)
- config: drop AO_HOST entirely — the daemon is loopback-only by design,
so making the bind host env-configurable was a security footgun
- config: use net.JoinHostPort in Addr() so IPv6 literals stay valid
- config: reject zero/negative AO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT and AO_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
(time.ParseDuration accepts both; either would silently break the
daemon — instant request expiry / no graceful drain)
- runfile: split processAlive into unix/windows build-tagged files so
liveness detection is reliable on both platforms (Windows uses
OpenProcess; POSIX keeps signal 0)
- runfile: document os.Rename overwrite semantics (atomic on POSIX,
REPLACE_EXISTING on Windows) so the temp-then-rename pattern's
cross-platform behaviour is explicit
- httpd tests: give probe/waitForHealth clients an explicit per-request
timeout so a stalled connect can't hang the test on the outer deadline
* fix(backend): strip trailing blank line from runfile.go (#10)
gofmt CI was failing because removing the orphan processAlive doc
comment left an extra newline at EOF.
* fix(backend): cross-platform run-file replace + AO_HOST rationale (#10)
- runfile: introduce build-tagged atomicReplace — POSIX rename(2) on
Unix, MoveFileEx with MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING on Windows. The Go
runtime happens to do the Windows call internally already, but
invoking it directly makes the cross-platform contract explicit
instead of a runtime implementation detail
- runfile: tighten process_unix.go build tag from `!windows` to `unix`
so plan9/js/wasm fail to build rather than silently using a broken
signal-0 probe
- runfile: add TestWriteOverwritesExisting covering the stale run-file
replace path that none of the previous tests exercised
- config: anchor the loopback-only decision in the LoopbackHost doc so
the next contributor doesn't reintroduce AO_HOST without the security
rationale
* fix(backend): route chi access logs through slog/stderr (#10)
chi's middleware.Logger writes via stdlib log to stdout, but the
daemon's slog logger writes to stderr — so REST traffic and daemon
logs landed on different streams in different formats. Replace it
with a small slog-backed requestLogger that:
- Wraps the response writer via middleware.NewWrapResponseWriter so
status/bytes are accurate even when handlers return without an
explicit WriteHeader.
- Reads the request id off the context set by middleware.RequestID
(kept mounted just before this middleware so the id is available).
- Emits one structured Info line per request with method, path,
status, bytes, duration, and remote — same key=value shape as the
rest of the daemon, one stream for the Electron supervisor to
capture.
