`ActiveAdmin.register WarpEngine::Pipeline` declared no `permit_params`, so every edit handed unpermitted attributes to the model and Rails raised ForbiddenAttributesError. That is not new: the form has been unable to save for as long as it has existed. My flash message on `update` sat at the top of the traceback and made it look like the cause, which it was not — and it is gone anyway, because overriding an ActiveAdmin action to say something is a poor trade for what it can break. The move is written to the log instead. Adding a spec that would have caught it, in the host app, because that is where the ActiveAdmin instance lives: it signs in, PUTs the form, and checks both that the record saves and that the software link moves off the pipeline that had it. Driven the same way by hand against the development database first — 302, the link moved, the previous holder left without one. The engine's other admin resources were checked for the same omission: downloads and releases are read-only and the file manager posts to its own routes, so pipelines was the only one affected.

Teletype Games
Monorepo for the Teletype Games portal: a Vue 3 frontend, a Rails 8 API host app, and the reusable WarpEngine software-catalog engine.
Project structure
apps/
frontend/ # Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind SPA
api/ # Rails 8 host app: TTG-specific API + ActiveAdmin shell
libs/
ruby/warp_engine/ # WarpEngine: mountable Rails engine (catalog, updater, admin resources)
The API is split in two layers:
- WarpEngine (
libs/ruby/warp_engine) owns the software catalog: models (softwares, releases, release assets, images, platform links, download stats), the CI-callable/build/*publishing endpoints, the public read-only JSON API (/api/software*,/api/builds*,/api/image,/api/download,/file/*) and the catalog ActiveAdmin resources. See its README. - The host app (
apps/api) owns everything TTG-specific: members, events, the store registry, wiki proxy, RSS feeds, Devise/ActiveAdmin authentication, theming and assets. It consumes WarpEngine as a path gem and mounts it at/.
The store registry
GET /api/stores lists the stores a client can install from. The desktop
graphical client reads it on first run, which is why it is public: a client has
nobody to log in as.
[
{ "name": "Teletype Games", "catalogUrl": "https://teletypegames.org", "storeRepositoryUrl": null }
]
A Store row has two required fields — name and catalog_url — plus an
optional store_repository_url, maintained from ActiveAdmin ▸ 🛒 Stores;
db/seeds.rb creates our own.
A store does not need a repository. The store engine's own defaults already
cover the host-to-asset mapping, the install modes, the platforms and the
behaviour; what they cannot know is identity — a slug, a name and a catalog — and
that is what this row carries. With no repository the client derives the slug from
the catalog host, writes a small config and installs. Given one, it reads that
repository's config.json and points it at catalog_url, and that file remains the
authority on how the store behaves; a repository without a config file is treated
as no repository at all.
Every WarpEngine API response also carries a WarpEngine-Version header — the registry
above is the host's own endpoint and does not, because it is not part of the engine.
This lives in the host app on purpose, not in WarpEngine. The engine serves one catalog and has no business knowing which stores exist for it; who ships a store for a catalog is a property of the site.

Development environment
docker compose up -d
| Service | URL |
|---|---|
| Frontend | http://${WEBAPP_DOMAIN} |
| API | http://${WEBAPP_DOMAIN}/api |
| Admin | http://${WEBAPP_DOMAIN}/admin |
| API docs | http://${WEBAPP_DOMAIN}/api/swagger |
The api image is built from the repo root (so the libs/ path gems are visible
during bundle install) and mounts ./libs at runtime. After changing the
compose file or the Gemfile, rebuild with docker compose up -d --build api.
Testing
make api-test
Runs the host suite (apps/api, softwares_test DB), the WarpEngine suite
(dummy app, warp_engine_test DB) and a production-mode zeitwerk:check.
Individually:
docker exec -e RAILS_ENV=test api bundle exec rspec # host
docker exec -w /libs/ruby/warp_engine -e RAILS_ENV=test api bundle exec rspec # engine
JSON contract baselines for /api/software and /api/builds live in
apps/api/spec/snapshots/ — diff against them after refactors.
