Each was raised by a reviewer and then survived an independent attempt to refute it. The four that mattered most: - A third of the starter library was invisible. Three templates authored `fields` shapes no renderer read — decisions, blockingSet, checks, steps and the rest — so about forty records rendered as no DOM at all, in the library and again on the engagement that instantiated them. Nothing failed: a renderer returns null for a key set it does not recognise, and a header-plus-body page looks like a template written that way. FieldsView now reads every key the seeds carry. - "Add a framework" opened a picker that could never match, because the dialog was seeded with both the forced kind and the deal's stage, and qualification serves only the qualification stage. The stage is now dropped when MOTION_KIND_STAGES says the pair is incoherent. - Piggy reported the promotion count as an exact figure capped at 8, against a tile showing the true count beside it. It is now counted in SQL, and all three motion tools carry a ResultScope whose denominator is shared lineages — never rows, never private drafts. - No Motion test went through createApp, so the whole feature could be unmounted with a green suite. That is the AGENTS.md §5 trap that already cost this project read-guards.ts and learn.ts. Also: both sides of the instantiate/edit race now lock, so a template cannot be rewritten under an artefact that has copied it; concurrent engagement opens queue on the deal row and get the 409 the handler already promised rather than a 500; latestScore uses DISTINCT ON instead of losing engagements past a 200-row cap; the migration adds the scored_by_user_id foreign key the schema declares; and the demo clear refunds usage_count for engagements it reaches by cascade, which otherwise left starter templates permanently un-editable. Verified on a fresh database: 16 migrations apply and re-apply as a no-op, both seeds idempotent, usage_count back to zero after --clear. 564 unit tests pass. Every Motion route measures zero horizontal overflow at 393 and 1440 in both themes, and all twelve seeded field trees are asserted onto the screen by scripts/motion-fields-check.mjs. One thing left open deliberately: the shipped qualification scorecard's five bands and MOTION_BANDS' four are calibrated differently. The framework's table is now titled as its own guidance rather than the product's verdict, which removes the contradiction on screen. Making the framework's calibration authoritative over the persisted band column is a product decision nobody has made. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
🐷 PIG — Prime Intellect Growth
An open-source, agent-native CRM for two-sided AI-compute companies.
Self-hostable. Auditable. Built for teams that buy GPU capacity on one side and sell it on the other.
Why this exists
A company that aggregates GPU capacity and resells it does not run one pipeline. It runs two, and its business is the spread between them.
Today that spread is usually managed in a spreadsheet with a margin calculator in column K, a document of supplier terms, and a general-purpose CRM that has no idea what an H100-hour is. Salesforce, HubSpot and Attio model a single pipeline of deals against companies. They have no concept of inventory, no concept of a commitment you already bought and are paying for whether or not it sells, and therefore no way to answer the question the business turns on:
Which contracted capacity is sold, to whom, at what margin — and what is idle right now?
PIG is one ledger that knows the domain. The load-bearing table is
allocations, which joins a
capacity_commitment (what you bought, at a known cost) to a demand_deal
(what you sold, at a known price). Margin, utilisation and idle capacity all
fall out of that one join. Everything else is plumbing that keeps the ledger
honest.
Cost is charged against the full commitment, not only the hours that sold. Unsold hours are already paid for. Charging only the allocated share reports a healthy margin on a block that is losing money, which is precisely the failure PIG exists to prevent. There is a test pinning it.
Who it is for
PIG models three teams, because two-sided compute companies have three constituencies competing for the same scarce capacity.
| Team | Job to be done |
|---|---|
| Supply | Source, qualify, price and contract GPU capacity from providers |
| Demand | Sell compute and post-training; renew and expand accounts |
| Research | Consume capacity internally — real burn, no revenue |
Research is a first-class tenant rather than an afterthought: internal burn competes with revenue for the same GPUs, and margin arithmetic that cannot see it is wrong.
The team set is configurable in packages/core/src/ontology.ts. PIG ships with
these three because they match the structure of the company it was designed
for, not because they are universal.
Screenshots
Captured against the current shell — header, collapsible sidebar rail, docked
Piggy — running locally on the seed plus demo book (db:seed and db:demo), so
every number below is computed by the code in this repository rather than drawn.
Records prefixed DEMO — are fictional; the rest are the sourced, cited seed.
Each image follows your own system theme. Both themes are shown explicitly
further down, and the full gallery has all ten pages at
1440px and 393px, in light and dark. Desktop captures are the 1440×900 viewport
rather than the full scroll height — what you see is what fits above the fold.
node scripts/screenshots.mjs re-shoots the set.
Overview — margin, sold ratio and idle capacity across the book, with the commitments you are paying for and not selling ranked by cost exposure.
Margin — revenue from what was sold against the full cost of what was
bought, per commitment. Cost covered and a break-even price are the two states
that matter; charging only the allocated share of cost would report a healthy
margin on a block that is losing money.
Capacity → Match a requirement — the matcher. Ask what a customer needs and PIG scores it against capacity already under commitment, saying why each block fits, and hands you straight to the allocation that records the sale.
Growth — deterministic attention scores over customer paper, deal activity and sold or reserved capacity. Every point is an explained signal with its sources named; nothing here is a model's guess at a win probability.
Calendar — what closes, what renews, what expires and when capacity lands, projected from the records that already carry the dates. Export authorisations expire on this timeline too, because an expired one converts lawful business into unlawful business.
Light and dark
Theme is a stored preference that follows a person between devices, resolved
before first paint by an inline script so dark-mode users never get a white
flash. Both tunings of the accent palette are defined in @pig/core and applied
as CSS variables at runtime, so there is one definition of each colour.
The demand pipeline, in both. Legal sits second rather than last, because MSA and DPA execution gates delivery rather than closing the deal — most CRMs put contracts at the end of the funnel and are wrong about it for this market.
Light:
Dark:
Side by side at 393px, where both tunings have to survive a smaller surface:

Piggy is deliberately not pictured mid-conversation. It is off by default
(PIGGY_ENABLED=false, and the Compose service sits behind a profile), and
showing it answering would mean staging a transcript rather than capturing one.
What it may and may not do is described under the agent
surface.
The two-sided data model
Forty-seven tables, but the shape is small. These are the ones that carry the thesis:
| Table | What it holds | Why it is not in a generic CRM |
|---|---|---|
capacity_commitments |
What you bought: term, GPU-hours, cost per GPU-hour, floor and ceiling, and a shape ({intervals[], quantities[]}) |
Real contracts ramp across tranches and step down at checkpoints; a single start/end/total reports availability that does not exist in the month someone wants it |
demand_deals |
What you are selling: ACV, product line, MSA/DPA state, stage | The paper state is a separate axis from the stage, because paper gates delivery |
supply_deals |
The other pipeline: sourcing a provider through diligence to live | Generic CRMs have one pipeline and call the supplier a vendor |
allocations |
The join. Commitment × deal × GPU-hours × window × status | This is the whole product. Margin, utilisation and idle all derive from it |
inventory_listings |
Market availability mirrored from the Prime Intellect API | Sync is a straight field mapping, not an ETL project |
capacity_requests |
What a customer asked for, whether or not it could be served | Unservable demand is the signal for what to buy next |
contracts + sla_terms + sla_metric_targets + contract_obligations |
Polymorphic over party and type — MSA, DPA, SLA, order form, capacity commitment — with negotiated SLA terms and dated obligations | The supply side negotiates heavyweight paper; the self-serve demand side runs on a reliability tier and a credits policy instead |
export_authorizations, compliance_artifacts, compliance_decisions |
Export-control determinations recorded on the allocation edge, with reasoning and rule version | US controls apply an ultimate-parent test that reaches through the corporate tree, so country of incorporation is not a valid key |
facts |
Every agent-derived claim, with score, band, evidence excerpt and source URL | An agent allowed to write unattributed claims will eventually write a wrong one and nobody will be able to tell which |
motion_templates + engagements + engagement_artifacts + qualification_scores |
The go-to-market motion: a reusable library bound to the stages of a demand deal, and the artefacts each engagement produced | A used template is never edited in place — promotion writes a new version pointing back at the artefact that proved it, which is what makes the next deployment cheaper than the last |
agent_tasks / agent_runs / agent_actions |
The queue the API writes to and the agent drains, plus what it did | The API never calls the model; it writes a row |
Two pipelines, with stages taken from how the market operates:
Demand: qualification → legal → scoping → proposal → procurement
→ POC → deployment → expansion (+ closed_won / closed_lost)
Supply: sourced → qualifying → technical diligence → financial diligence
→ pricing → contracting → onboarding → live → renewal
(+ churned / rejected)
Legal sits second in the demand pipeline. MSA and DPA execution gates the deal rather than closing it. Most CRMs put contracts at the end of the funnel and are wrong about it for this market.
Three further decisions worth knowing before you read the schema:
- Holds reserve; they do not sell. A live hold removes capacity from everyone else's availability — otherwise two sellers promise the same GPUs — but never counts toward utilisation or revenue.
- Security tiers are ranked, not labelled.
community_cloud<secure_cloud<government, and a requirement is satisfied only from at or above its tier. - Money is integer cents, rounded exactly once, at the boundary.
Self-hosting
Requirements
Node 22+, pnpm 11+ (pinned by packageManager; corepack enable installs it),
and a PostgreSQL 16 database that PIG owns exclusively.
Development
corepack enable
pnpm install
docker run -d --name pig-dev -p 5432:5432 \
-e POSTGRES_USER=pig -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pig -e POSTGRES_DB=pig \
postgres:16-alpine
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://pig:pig@localhost:5432/pig
pnpm run db:migrate
pnpm run db:seed # optional — sourced, cited, confidence-graded people
pnpm run db:demo # optional — a plausible demo book, prefixed "DEMO — "
pnpm run dev:api # :8920
pnpm run dev:web # :5173, proxies /api to :8920
With no identity provider configured, authentication is disabled in
development and every request runs as the first user in the table.
loadConfig refuses to start with NODE_ENV=production in that state, so it
cannot leak into a deployment.
Production
cp .env.example .env # then edit
docker compose -p pig up -d db
docker compose -p pig run --rm --no-deps app pnpm exec tsx packages/db/src/migrate.ts
docker compose -p pig up -d --build app
Migrate from a one-off container before the app starts, not with exec: a
release that queries a table its migration has not yet created crash-loops
before you can attach to it. Full deployment notes, including the reverse
proxy, the release poller and rollback semantics, are in
deploy/README.md.
That starts the CRM without the agent, which is the default. Turning Piggy on is
a switch in .env and a run of scripts/deploy.sh — see
Turning Piggy on.
Every environment variable
Read from apps/api/src/lib/config.ts (API), apps/piggy/src/config.ts
(Piggy) and docker-compose.yml. Bold means no default.
Required
| Variable | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
DATABASE_URL |
— | The only unconditionally required value. PIG owns this database exclusively |
POSTGRES_PASSWORD |
— | Compose only; docker-compose.yml refuses to start without it |
In production you must additionally set either SUPABASE_URL or
PIG_OIDC_ISSUER. The API throws at boot with neither.
Identity
| Variable | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
SUPABASE_URL |
unset | Hosted path. Absent in development ⇒ auth disabled |
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY |
unset | Public by design; served to the browser via /api/config |
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY |
unset | Only for administrative provisioning and self-registration. Warns at boot when set |
PIG_OIDC_ISSUER |
unset | On-premises path. Takes precedence over SUPABASE_URL |
PIG_OIDC_JWKS_URI |
discovered | Set it to skip discovery on an air-gapped network |
PIG_OIDC_AUDIENCE |
unset | Strongly recommended: without it, any token your provider issued for any application in the same tenant is accepted here. Warns, does not refuse |
PIG_OIDC_EMAIL_CLAIMS |
provider defaults | Comma-separated, in preference order |
Server
| Variable | Default | Notes |

PIG_INVITE_CODE |
unset | Set it to gate signup |
PIG_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY |
unset | Base64-encoded 32 bytes. Required for Notion and Google OAuth; secrets written in the admin UI need it |

Piggy
The API and the Piggy container read overlapping but distinct sets.
Every one of these is read once, at boot. None of Piggy's settings is
admin-selectable at runtime: apps/piggy reads process.env when the process
starts and never consults platform_settings, so changing the model or a budget
means editing .env and restarting the container.
| Variable | Default | Read by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
PIGGY_ENABLED |
false |
API, deploy.sh |
Gates the chat surface, and tells scripts/deploy.sh to ship the piggy Compose profile with the app |
PRIME_API_KEY |
— | API, Piggy | One key, two hosts: the availability sync calls api.primeintellect.ai, the agent calls api.pinference.ai. Required by the Piggy process; missing, it exits at boot and crash-loops |
PIGGY_INFERENCE_API_KEY |
— | Piggy | The legacy spelling of PRIME_API_KEY, still accepted so a .env written before the harness swap keeps starting. Set one, not two |
PIGGY_AGENT_MODEL |
nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b |
Piggy | The default answer model. Must be one of the five ids in apps/piggy/src/agent/models.json, or Piggy refuses to start — an unlisted model is not registered with the harness and would fail on a user's first question instead |
PIGGY_AGENT_MODE |
confirm |
Piggy | read_only, confirm or auto. Contracts, commitments, allocations and compliance require a click in every mode |
PIGGY_AGENT_THINKING |
off |
Piggy | off…max. Read the trap before raising it or changing the model |
PIGGY_AGENT_MAX_TOKENS |
4096 |
Piggy | Output tokens per agent turn, reasoning included. Clamped down to the model's own ceiling |
PIGGY_AGENT_DIR |
~/.pig/piggy-agent |
Piggy | The harness's own directory. Compose pins it to /var/lib/piggy-agent; it must never be a checkout, because the harness reads context files from its cwd |
PIGGY_INFERENCE_BASE |
https://api.pinference.ai/api/v1 |
both | OpenAI-compatible. The agent reads its base URL from models.json; this one still drives the queue worker |
PIGGY_MODEL |
nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b |
both | The queue worker's model. The agent uses PIGGY_AGENT_MODEL and the picker |
PIGGY_LEASE_SECONDS |
300 |
both | Queue lease duration |
PIGGY_POLL_INTERVAL_MS |
2000 |
Piggy | How often an idle worker looks for a task |
PIGGY_MAX_TOKENS |
1024 |
Piggy | Per queued task |
PIGGY_CHAT_MAX_TOKENS |
2048 |
Piggy | Per interactive answer. Separate from the queue's budget because chat tools return aggregates the answer has to quote, and 1024 truncated mid-table |
PIGGY_MAX_TURNS |
4 |
Piggy | Model calls per chat turn, tool round trips included |
PIGGY_REASONING_EFFORT |
none |
Piggy | none, low, medium, high. Reasoning tokens bill like any other and the chat panel is on every page; raise it to debug, not in normal operation |
PIGGY_PRICE_INPUT_CENTS_PER_MTOK |
5 |
Piggy | Cents per million tokens, which keeps the recorded cost of a run exact in integers. Must be changed with the model — a stale price still looks like a measurement |
PIGGY_PRICE_OUTPUT_CENTS_PER_MTOK |
20 |
Piggy | As above |
PIGGY_WORKER_ID |
hostname:pid |
Piggy | Lease identity. Only set it if you run two workers |
PIGGY_INTERNAL_URL |
unset | API | http://piggy:8931 under Compose |
PIGGY_INTERNAL_TOKEN |
— | both | Min 32 chars; required by the Piggy process. Never put it in a query string |
PIGGY_CHAT_HOST |
127.0.0.1 |
Piggy | |
PIGGY_CHAT_PORT |
8931 |
Piggy | Never published to the host |
PIGGY_CHAT_ALLOW_NON_LOOPBACK |
false |
Piggy | Compose sets true, because the API reaches it across the Compose network |
The thinking-level trap
Worth its own heading, because it costs an afternoon otherwise.
The harness defaults thinkingLevel to medium, which is tuned for a coding
agent. On the default nemotron model that produced 6,195 output tokens of
reasoning and an empty answer — the turn hit its ceiling mid-thought and
returned finish_reason: length. low was worse. off maps, for that model,
to the endpoint's reasoning_effort: none, and the same question came back
correct in 149 output tokens.
The mapping is per model, in thinkingLevelMap in
apps/piggy/src/agent/models.json. The nemotron entries have one; deepseek,
opus and gpt-5.6 do not, so at off they send no reasoning parameter at all and
inherit the endpoint's default. If you change PIGGY_AGENT_MODEL and start
getting empty or truncated answers, this is why — give the new model a
thinkingLevelMap before touching PIGGY_AGENT_THINKING.
Integrations — all optional, all validated as a group
Setting one member of a group without the others fails at boot rather than half-working.
| Group | Variables |
|---|---|
| Slack | SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET |
| Buzz | BUZZ_RELAY_URL, BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY, BUZZ_AUTH_TAG |
| Notion import | NOTION_CLIENT_ID, NOTION_CLIENT_SECRET, NOTION_REDIRECT_URI (+ PIG_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY) |
| Google Sheets import | GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI (+ PIG_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY) |
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI must be exactly <PIG_PUBLIC_URL origin>/oauth/google/callback.

Three rules hold the shape:
Intelligence never lives in the API. Handlers validate, authorise, call a
service, serialise. Research, enrichment, scoring and matching heuristics live
in the service layer or in the agent. The API signals the agent by writing a
row to agent_tasks, never by calling it — so the queue survives the agent
being down and no request thread ever blocks on a model.
Authentication is not authorisation. A verified JWT proves someone has an
account in an identity provider PIG may share with another application. Access
additionally requires a row in PIG's own users table; a token without one
gets 403 needs_profile, which the front end turns into a join flow rather
than a login screen they have already completed. Both providers reduce to
"verify a bearer token, return a subject and an email" behind
apps/api/src/lib/auth-provider.ts.
Writes go through one chokepoint. apps/api/src/lib/mutation.ts derives
zod schemas from the ontology, applies the capability check, runs the write and
its audit activity in one transaction, and returns a consistent error shape.
The RBAC model, as it now stands
Eleven capabilities, in packages/core/src/permissions.ts, resolved from team
membership and role and shared by the API and the browser so a disabled button
and a 403 cannot disagree.
Roles are ranked, and every rule is "at or above": viewer < member <
lead < admin. A platform admin (an address in PIG_ADMIN_EMAILS) holds
everything, platform-wide.
Writes are team-scoped:
| Capability | Teams | Minimum role |
|---|---|---|
deal:write |
supply, demand | member |
commitment:write |
supply | lead |
contract:sign |
supply, demand | admin |
activity:write |
all | member |
data:import |
all | admin |
fact:review |
research | admin |
integration:connect |
all | admin |
settings:admin |
— | platform admin only |
Reads are platform-wide, deliberately:
| Capability | Teams | Minimum role | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
book:read |
all | viewer | Accounts, contacts, both pipelines, contracts, growth, facts |
economics:read |
supply, demand | member | Supplier cost, break-even price, margin, idle, inventory, the dashboard |
team:read |
all | viewer | The roster |
Read grants are not team-scoped, and that is a decision rather than an
omission: no row-level team filter exists anywhere in the query layer, so a
"demand only" read grant would be a promise the guard could not keep. The
honest model is that a read capability is held or it is not, and the role
required to hold it is what separates the roster from the cost book.
economics:read is the one that matters — supplier cost per GPU-hour and
break-even price are the business.
The read half is enforced. The policy table lives in
apps/api/src/routes/read-guards.ts and createReadGuardRoutes is mounted in
app.ts before the feature routes — Hono runs matched handlers in
registration order, so a guard registered after its route would return 200 while
looking correct. read-governance.test.ts pins that ordering in both
directions, and fails when a GET appears that no rule covers, so a new read
endpoint cannot ship ungoverned by accident.
What it still cannot do is filter within a grant: see limitations.
The agent surface
PIG is a first-class application for agents and for humans, and neither is a degraded view of the other. There are two distinct surfaces.
Piggy — the in-app agent
apps/piggy runs Prime Agent — Prime Intellect's own agent harness
(@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, MIT), embedded as a Node library rather than
shelled out to — with PIG's CRM tools and nothing else. Models come from Prime
Intellect inference (api.pinference.ai) on PRIME_API_KEY; the picker offers
five, defined in apps/piggy/src/agent/models.json, priced and sized in the one
file the runtime and the UI both read.
The harness has no shell, no filesystem and no Python. It is constructed
with noTools: 'all' and an explicit allowlist, and there are three independent
gates behind that: PIG's own boundary check on the tool list before a session
opens, a comparison of the harness's live state.tools against exactly what was
handed in — a startup error if they differ, so a future harness release cannot
widen the set quietly — and a test that pins the same comparison. Prompt
templates, skills, extensions and context-file discovery are all disabled, and
the harness's cwd is a dedicated directory that holds no code.
It is one image running two processes' worth of behaviour:
-
The queue worker claims a task with
SELECT … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKEDinside a transaction, holds a renewable lease (default 300s, renewed at half the interval), and aborts its own work if it ever loses that lease — so two workers can never both be mid-flight on one task. Failures retry with exponential backoff capped at one hour, up to the task'smaxAttempts. Every attempt writes anagent_runsrow with the model, the input, the token counts and either a summary or the error. Its tool set is exactly two:pig_get_subjectandpig_record_fact, and a fact is refused without both a source URL and an evidence excerpt. -
The chat server listens on
8931and is never published to the host. The API authenticates the user, forwards bounded context and the caller's principal, and calls it with a shared internal bearer token. Its tools are scoped to what the user is looking at: a focused record reader or one of the page-scoped summaries, plus lookups (pig_search_records,pig_get_record_by_id,pig_list_renewals,pig_list_inventory,pig_get_account_lifecycle). Each aggregates first and returns at most a handful of exemplar rows.Chat can now write, which it could not before:
pig_log_activity,pig_create_contact,pig_create_task,pig_update_deal_stageandpig_update_record_fields. Every one of them runs through the sameexecuteMutationpath the HTTP API uses, as the calling user's ownPrincipal— so Piggy holds no privilege of its own and cannot touch a record its user could not.PIGGY_AGENT_MODEdecides how far it may go on its own (read_only,confirm,auto), and inconfirma change is proposed as a card the user applies. Contracts, commitments, allocations and compliance records require a click in every mode; that rule is one function,requiresApprovalinpackages/core/src/piggy-protocol.ts, so it cannot be true in one place and false in another.Conversations persist in
piggy_conversationsandpiggy_messages(migration 0014), and/piggyis a full workspace rather than a docked panel alone.
Piggy is off by default. PIGGY_ENABLED defaults to false and the Compose
service sits behind profiles: ['piggy'], so a default docker compose up
starts the CRM without it. Turning it on is three values in .env —
PIGGY_ENABLED=true, PRIME_API_KEY (or the legacy PIGGY_INFERENCE_API_KEY)
and a 32-character PIGGY_INTERNAL_TOKEN — and then a deploy:
bash scripts/deploy.sh
deploy.sh reads PIGGY_ENABLED itself and adds the profile to the pull, the
build, the up and the rollback, so the agent is upgraded with the app and
never left behind on an older image. Starting it by hand
(docker compose -p pig --profile piggy up -d --build) works, but every later
deploy that does not know about it leaves old agent code running against a
newly migrated schema — so put the switch in .env instead. See
deploy/README.md.
The MCP server — for the agent you already use
apps/mcp speaks stdio and holds an API key. It calls the same HTTP API a
browser does: no database credentials, no privileged path, and deliberately no
tool that provisions infrastructure, spends money or emails a customer. Nine
tools, because a sprawling tool list measurably degrades model performance:
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
pig_whoami |
Who am I acting for, and which teams am I on? |
pig_my_pipeline |
Where are we? What needs attention? |
pig_capacity_match |
What have we bought that would serve this customer? |
pig_margin_report |
What is each block earning against what it cost? |
pig_idle_capacity |
What are we paying for and not selling? |
pig_inventory_search |
What could we buy to cover demand we cannot serve? |
pig_search |

pig_get_account |

Shipping — tag to deploy
CI is Gitea Actions, one sequence, about two minutes. It typechecks every package, applies the migration chain twice to a real empty Postgres, asserts the seed is idempotent, runs 275 unit tests and the critical-path E2E, boots the server and curls it, builds the front end, checks the inline theme script still hashes to the value the proxy's CSP allows, and builds the Docker image.
Shipping is two steps and the second one is a human:
git tag release-2026-08-13 && git push origin release-2026-08-13
- A push to
mainrunsverifyand stops. Nothing deploys. - A
release-*tag runs the sameverify, thenpublishpushesgit.karti.ai/pig/pig:<tag>and:<short-sha>to the registry. - Within five minutes
pig-autodeploy.timeron the production host notices the newest release tag has a different digest, checks the tree out at that tag, and runsscripts/deploy.shwithPIG_IMAGEset.
The direction of travel is the point: no credential on the shared CI runner can
execute anything on the production host. The host holds a pull-only token and
fetches. deploy.sh dumps the database first, gates on health, the
unauthenticated-401 check and a public-origin body marker, and rolls back to
the previous image if a gate fails — exiting 1 when the previous image was
restored and 3 when the release under test is still live, because that is the
one thing an on-call needs at 04:00.
What is not built yet
Said plainly, because you are going to grep the repo anyway.
Read authorisation is enforced, but only at the grant. A capability is held
or it is not. Once economics:read is held, it returns every commitment's cost
— there is no filter that narrows it to one team's book, because no row-level
team filter exists anywhere in the query layer. That is the gap to close before
PIG serves a company where "supply can see supply's costs" is a requirement.
The HubSpot integration is written, tested and never mounted.
routes/hubspot.ts and routes/hubspot-webhook.ts are both absent from
app.ts, so OAuth, connections, sync jobs, webhook verification and seven
hubspot_* tables are all unreachable from the running server.
Six of the eight declared agent task kinds are never enqueued. The worker
is complete and generic, but only enrich_account and enrich_contact are
ever written to agent_tasks (both from record creation). write_brief,
match_capacity, detect_idle_capacity, summarise_pipeline,
watch_renewal and research_supplier are declared in the ontology and
nothing produces them. Piggy therefore does far less than the queue implies —
not because the machinery is missing, but because nothing asks.
Piggy's write surface is five tools, not the whole CRM. It can log an
activity, create a contact or a task, move a deal stage and update fields on a
record it can already read. Everything else — creating an account, a
commitment, a contract, an allocation — is still a human's job in the UI, and
the mutations it does have route through the same executeMutation path and
the same capability checks as the HTTP API.
The MCP server is stdio only. There is no Streamable HTTP transport and no
/mcp endpoint on the API, so remote MCP clients cannot connect over the
network — each user runs the server locally against their own API key. The
package is also not published to npm, so npx @pig/mcp does not work.
No row-level or team-scoped read filtering exists anywhere in the query layer. Every read returns the whole book. This is why read capabilities are platform-wide rather than per-team, and it is the thing to build before PIG serves a company where that is not acceptable.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is declared in the API config and read by nothing. The
rest of .env.example is now complete: POSTGRES_PASSWORD and
PIG_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY were both load-bearing and both missing from it,
which made the documented cp .env.example .env fail at the first compose
command.
Not started at all: email or calendar ingestion, forecasting, quota and attainment, invoicing or billing reconciliation, a public API beyond what the MCP tools cover, multi-tenancy of any kind, and any mobile application. PIG is responsive to 393px; it is not a native app.

A note on seed data
PIG ships with a roster of publicly documented people so the application is
legible on first run. Every record carries a confidence grade and a source URL,
both shown in the interface. No email addresses are included or inferred.
Records that could not be independently sourced are marked as such rather than
quietly presented as fact, and people who are demonstrably not staff —
alumni, residency participants — are labelled accordingly. Seeding is opt-in
(pnpm run db:seed) and never automatic. See
docs/seed-data.md.
If you are seeded here and would rather not be, open an issue and the record will be removed.
