Two related changes that ship together because the second was uncovered
while testing the first.
1. Live config reload (the ostensible feature):
The "Set Gemini API Key" StartOS action writes to /data/config/
startos-config.json. The server used to read that file once at
startup (and via a separate Python read in docker_entrypoint.sh
before that), which meant a key change required a service restart
to take effect. Now the server polls the file every 3 s
(RECAP_CONFIG_POLL_MS, env-overridable) and updates serverApiKey
in place. fs.watch was tried first and dropped — it's flaky on
macOS (FSEvents single-file quirks) and behaves inconsistently with
atomic-rename writes the SDK file model uses. Polling is dead
simple and a stat call every 3 s is free.
Also dropped the Python config read from docker_entrypoint.sh; the
server now handles it natively. Entrypoint still loads /data/.env
for arbitrary env vars (RECAP_*, etc.).
2. Vendor module resolution (the silently-broken thing):
The earlier vendor change (move @keysat/licensing-client from a
git+https dep to a file: dep at vendor/) created a symlink in
server/node_modules. That symlink to the vendor dir was getting
resolved by Node, so the keysat client tried to import @noble/
ed25519 from /app/vendor/keysat-licensing-client/dist/, walked up
to /app/vendor/, then /app/, neither of which had node_modules.
Result: v0.2.0 and v0.2.1 would crash at startup with
ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on @noble/ed25519. The Docker BUILD succeeded
because npm install with file: deps doesn't pull transitive deps
into the parent node_modules — but the runtime would have failed
the moment server/license.js ran.
Fix:
• Dockerfile builder now `npm install`s inside vendor/keysat-
licensing-client/ so @noble/* lands in its own node_modules,
where Node's resolver finds it.
• Dockerfile runner now COPYs vendor/ to the runner image
(previously not copied — the symlink in server/node_modules
would have pointed at nothing).
• vendor/keysat-licensing-client/package-lock.json is committed
so the in-Docker install is reproducible.
The keysat-client-ts repo is private. Previous builds were succeeding
purely because Docker layer caching reused a node_modules from when
the repo had been accessible — once anything invalidated the
server/package.json or server/package-lock.json hash (the rename did),
npm in a fresh container hit github with no credentials and 404'd.
Fix: copy the built dist/ from server/node_modules/@keysat/licensing-
client/ into vendor/keysat-licensing-client/, strip the prepare/build
scripts (we already have the compiled output), and switch the server
package.json dep to a file: path:
"@keysat/licensing-client": "file:../vendor/keysat-licensing-client"
Dockerfile now COPY's vendor/ before npm ci. No git, no SSH, no
credentials needed in the build container — and the npm step is
pure-local so it's deterministic.
Side cleanup: dropped the apt-install-git + url.insteadOf gymnastics
that existed solely to work around the now-removed git+https resolution.
The image is slightly smaller (no git in the builder stage). Switched
the npm flag to the modern --omit=dev (the legacy --production printed
a warning).
If keysat-client-ts updates, regenerate vendor/ by:
cp -r server/node_modules/@keysat/licensing-client/{dist,package.json,LICENSE,README.md} \
vendor/keysat-licensing-client/
# then strip prepare/build scripts and devDeps from the copied package.json
# (or just hand-edit if the upstream package.json hasn't changed)
The product was always more than YouTube — it handles podcast feeds
too, and the upcoming multi-provider work makes it less Gemini-
specific. New name: Recap.
This is a coordinated identity change across:
• StartOS package id: youtube-summarizer → recap
(manifest.id; the .s9pk filename, Docker image namespace, and
install path under StartOS all derive from this automatically)
• Display name: "YouTube Summarizer" → "Recap"
(manifest title, activation screen heading, page <title>, console
log on boot, i18n strings, ABOUT.md, Dockerfile header,
docker_entrypoint banner)
• Keysat product slug: youtube-summarizer → recap
(server/license.js PRODUCT_SLUG; frontend fallback strings)
• Daemon subscription id: youtube-summarizer-sub → recap-sub
• Env var prefix: YT_SUMMARIZER_* → RECAP_*
(LICENSE_KEY, LICENSE_KEY_PATH, MAX_OFFLINE_DAYS,
VALIDATE_INTERVAL_MS)
• localStorage keys: yt-summarizer-* → recap-*
(gemini-key, activation-skipped, clips)
• Library export filename: youtube-summarizer-library.json →
recap-library.json
• npm package names: youtube-summarizer-{startos,server} → recap-*
• Deploy paths: youtube-summarizer_x86_64.s9pk → recap_x86_64.s9pk
(default values in bin/deploy.sh; .deploy.env on dev machine
needs the same update before next push)
• Self-hosted registry directory: startos-registry/packages/
youtube-summarizer → .../recap (with package.json + INSTRUCTIONS
rewritten)
What does NOT change:
• Filesystem repo path (still /Users/.../youtube-summarizer/)
• Git history / commit messages
• Existing version files in startos/versions/ (kept as-is — the
version chain belongs to the package's own history regardless of
its display name)
User-side follow-ups required:
1. Create "recap" product in Keysat admin, set up Core/Pro tier
policies (same entitlements as before), mint a fresh test
license. Old "youtube-summarizer" licenses won't activate
against the new slug.
2. Update .deploy.env (gitignored) so FILEBROWSER_PATH and
REGISTRY_PUBLIC_URL point at recap_x86_64.s9pk.
StartOS will treat this as a brand-new app on install — existing
youtube-summarizer installs will not auto-migrate (acknowledged
intentional given no real users yet).
Snapshot of the working tree before cleanup. Captures:
- Keysat licensing: server/license.js, /api/license/* endpoints in
server/index.js, activation modal in public/index.html, embedded
Ed25519 issuer key (assets/issuer.pub).
- StartOS 0.4 expansion: setApiKey action, version files v0.1.1
through v0.1.15, file-models/config.json.ts, manifest updates.
- Self-hosted registry server (startos-registry/).
- Build/deploy scripts (bin/bump-version.sh, bin/deploy.sh, vendored
yt-dlp binary), .gitignore, .deploy.env.example.
- Recent design docs (KEYSAT_INTEGRATION.md, UPGRADE-DESIGN.md) —
retained here so they remain recoverable when removed in the
follow-up cleanup commit.
