The image's repo URL resolves to `…/latest/src/contrib`, whose index does not list it. On `amd64/alpine324` that is 2 886 packages invisible to `install.packages()` (23 on `amd64/noble`) — what issue #63 records as "missing binaries". Two further findings while investigating: - The middleware only ever rewrote the bare `cran.rpkgs.com/src/contrib/…` form, and that form was broken for every Linux client on a stock R user agent: `ALPINE_REGEX`/`UBUNTU_REGEX`/`RHEL_REGEX` need a Posit-style UA that carries the distro, so stock R fell through to `extractOs()` and got redirected to `/amd64/linux-musl/latest/…`, a slot that does not exist. - `PACKAGES*` is served `cdn-cache: BYPASS` (bincraft uploads it `no-store`), so the middleware sees every index request and no purge is needed for routing changes to take effect. ## What this changes **`edge/rpkgs-router.ts`** — the middleware, now a reviewed file in this repo rather than dashboard state. It routes `PACKAGES`, `PACKAGES.gz` and `PACKAGES.rds` into `…/src/contrib/<x.y>/` for slots listed in `UNION_SLOTS`, and nothing else. Tarballs are deliberately left alone. R keeps the `contriburl` it *asked for*, not the one the redirect served it, so every tarball URL is resolved against the flat directory and the union index steers the per-minor ones with a `Path: <x.y>` field. Rewriting a tarball request here would send flat-slot packages into a directory that does not hold them. Also in the script: the phantom `linux-gnu`/`linux-musl` fallback is gone (an unidentifiable distro goes to CRAN, as an unparseable UA already did), and every redirect carries `Cache-Control: no-store` since its target depends on the User-Agent. The macOS branches are unchanged. **`cdn.tf`** — `bunnynet_compute_script.rpkgs_router` with `content = file("edge/rpkgs-router.ts")`, the `UNION_SLOTS` variable, and `middleware_script` pointing at the resource instead of the literal `29277`. `UNION_SLOTS` is empty, so merging and applying this changes no client's behaviour. A slot is added only once bincraft has republished its per-minor index as a union (rpkgs/bincraft#97); routing to a raw per-minor index would hide every package it does not carry. Rolling back is a variable edit, not a deploy. **`specs/`, `plans/`** — the design and the implementation plan, including the two approaches that were rejected (edge-side merge, moving the minor up the path) and why. ## Verification `just edge-test` runs 13 routing cases against the SDK's local server, so what is tested is the artifact that gets deployed; pass-through cases proxy to the real origin. All pass. End to end, with the middleware in front of a locally built union index for `amd64/alpine324` (31 507 records), inside the runtime image: ``` curl: 7.1.0 -> …/latest/src/contrib/4.5 -> curl_7.1.0.tar.gz 717 725 B jsonlite: 2.0.0 -> …/latest/src/contrib -> jsonlite_2.0.0.tar.gz 1 055 849 B ``` `tofu validate` passes. `tofu plan` has not been run: no `BUNNYNET_API_KEY` available in this environment. ## Before applying The script pre-dates this configuration, so it must be adopted, not created: ```sh tofu import bunnynet_compute_script.rpkgs_router 29277 tofu plan ``` The plan should show an in-place `content` update and no replacement of the pull zone. Without the import, tofu creates a second script and repoints the zone at it. Note that `name = "rpkgs-router"` will rename the existing script on apply. ## Not fixed here `install.packages("curl")` on `alpine324` will now *resolve*, then fail to build: that slot's tarballs are byte-identical CRAN **source** tarballs (no `Meta/`, no `Built:` in DESCRIPTION) which the index nevertheless stamps `Built: R 4.5.3; …-linux-musl`. Sampled: `amd64/alpine324` 3/12 binary, `arm64/alpine324` 13/30, `amd64/noble` 12/12, `amd64/alpine323` 17/20. That slot needs a rebuild, tracked separately.
