Ullrich Schäfer 66fb5d3044 Archive relocate-brouter-to-dedicated-host
Final step (task 9.4) of the BRouter relocation. The change is moved to
openspec/changes/archive/2026-04-24-relocate-brouter-to-dedicated-host/
and the four delta specs (brouter-integration, infrastructure,
observability, security-hardening) are merged into the main specs:

  + 6 added requirements
  ~ 4 modified requirements

The two intentionally-unchecked tasks are 2.2 (obsoleted, see crossed-out
note) and 9.4 itself (this archive).

## Purpose
Health endpoints, Prometheus metrics, structured logging, Grafana dashboards, and alerting for both apps and the flagship instance.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Health endpoints
Both apps SHALL expose a `/health` endpoint returning service and database status.
#### Scenario: Healthy service
- **WHEN** the app is running and the database is reachable
- **THEN** `GET /health` returns `{ "status": "ok", "db": "connected", "version": "<string>" }` with HTTP 200 (version from `SENTRY_RELEASE` env var, defaults to `"dev"`)
#### Scenario: Degraded service
- **WHEN** the app is running but the database is unreachable
- **THEN** `GET /health` returns `{ "status": "degraded", "db": "unreachable", "version": "<string>" }` with HTTP 503
### Requirement: Prometheus metrics
Both apps SHALL expose a `/metrics` endpoint with Prometheus-formatted metrics.
#### Scenario: Default Node.js metrics
- **WHEN** Prometheus scrapes `/metrics`
- **THEN** it receives event loop lag, heap usage, and GC metrics
#### Scenario: HTTP request metrics
- **WHEN** requests are served
- **THEN** `http_request_duration_seconds` histogram is updated with route, method, and status labels
#### Scenario: Planner-specific metrics
- **WHEN** the Planner is running
- **THEN** `planner_active_sessions` and `planner_connected_clients` gauges reflect current state
#### Scenario: BRouter latency metrics
- **WHEN** the Planner proxies a routing request to BRouter
- **THEN** `brouter_request_duration_seconds` histogram is updated (buckets: 0.1s to 10s)
### Requirement: Structured logging
Both apps SHALL output structured JSON logs in production.
#### Scenario: Request logging
- **WHEN** an HTTP request is served in production
- **THEN** a JSON log line is emitted with method, path, status, duration, and timestamp
#### Scenario: Dev mode pretty printing
- **WHEN** running in development
- **THEN** logs are human-readable (pretty-printed)
### Requirement: Grafana dashboards
The flagship instance SHALL have pre-configured Grafana dashboards.
#### Scenario: Overview dashboard
- **WHEN** an operator opens Grafana
- **THEN** they see request rate, error rate, and latency percentiles
#### Scenario: Infrastructure dashboard
- **WHEN** an operator checks infrastructure health
- **THEN** they see CPU, memory, disk usage, and DB connection pool stats
### Requirement: Alerting
Grafana SHALL alert on critical conditions.
#### Scenario: Disk usage alert
- **WHEN** disk usage exceeds 80% for 15 minutes
- **THEN** an alert fires
#### Scenario: App down alert
- **WHEN** an app returns zero healthy responses for 2 minutes
- **THEN** an alert fires
### Requirement: Log aggregation
Loki SHALL collect and index logs from all Docker containers.
#### Scenario: Search logs
- **WHEN** an operator searches logs in Grafana
- **THEN** they can filter by container name, log level, and time range
### Requirement: Remote BRouter metrics
Prometheus on the flagship host SHALL scrape BRouter-specific metrics from the dedicated BRouter host over the vSwitch. Scraping SHALL be scoped to BRouter containers only and SHALL NOT collect host-level metrics from the dedicated host's other (non-trails.cool) workloads.
#### Scenario: BRouter container metrics collected
- **WHEN** Prometheus scrapes the dedicated BRouter host
- **THEN** metrics from the BRouter container (and, if enabled, the Caddy sidecar) are collected via cAdvisor filtered by container label, or via a BRouter/JMX metrics endpoint exposed on the vSwitch
#### Scenario: No shared-host noise
- **WHEN** Prometheus is configured with the remote BRouter scrape target
- **THEN** no configuration scrapes the dedicated host's `node_exporter` or metrics from containers other than BRouter and its sidecar
#### Scenario: BRouter scrape failure alert
- **WHEN** the BRouter scrape target returns `up == 0` for more than 2 minutes
- **THEN** Grafana fires an alert distinct from flagship-side alerts
### Requirement: Remote BRouter log shipping
Loki on the flagship host SHALL receive BRouter container logs from the dedicated BRouter host via a Promtail or Alloy agent running on that host as the `trails` user. Log shipping SHALL be scoped to BRouter-related containers only.
#### Scenario: BRouter logs visible in Grafana
- **WHEN** the BRouter container writes to stdout or stderr
- **THEN** the log line is available in Grafana Explore via Loki with container and host labels identifying it as coming from the dedicated BRouter host
#### Scenario: Non-BRouter logs not shipped
- **WHEN** a non-BRouter container on the dedicated host writes logs
- **THEN** those logs are not ingested by the flagship Loki instance
