feat(backend): HTTP daemon skeleton (Phase 1a) — #10 (#14)
* 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.

* 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.

README.md

agent-orchestrator

Rewrite of the agent-orchestrator: a long-running Go backend daemon (backend/)
paired with an Electron + TypeScript frontend (frontend/).

See docs/ for architecture and status — start with the
Lifecycle Manager + Session Manager lane in docs/architecture.md.

Backend daemon

The Go binary in backend/ is the HTTP daemon — a loopback-only
sidecar the Electron supervisor will spawn (Phase 1c). Phase 1a landed the
skeleton: chi router, middleware stack (recoverer → request-id → logger →
real-ip), /healthz + /readyz, atomic running.json PID/port handshake,
graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM.

Run

cd backend
go run .                          # binds 127.0.0.1:3001 with all defaults
AO_PORT=3019 go run .             # override per invocation

Health check:

curl localhost:3001/healthz       # {"status":"ok"}
curl localhost:3001/readyz        # {"status":"ready"}

Configuration (env only)

The bind host is always 127.0.0.1: the daemon is a loopback-only sidecar
and binding any other interface would be a security regression, so the host
is intentionally not env-configurable.

Var Default Purpose
AO_PORT 3001 bind port; fails fast if taken
AO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT 60s per-request timeout (Go duration)
AO_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT 10s graceful-shutdown hard cap
AO_RUN_FILE <UserConfigDir>/agent-orchestrator/running.json PID + port handshake path

Test

cd backend
gofmt -l . && go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test -race ./...
