After (Build #18):
# Correct - downloads actual VSIX files
curl -o vscode-icons.vsix "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscode-icons-team/vscode-icons/12.0.0/file/vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons-12.0.0.vsix"

To github.com:coditect-ai/t2.git
eef2e73..034cd2e main -> main
Step 2: Submit Build #18 to Cloud Build
gcloud builds submit \
--config cloudbuild-combined.yaml \
--project=serene-voltage-464305-n2 \
. 2>&1 | tee /tmp/build-18.log
Expected Timeline:
- File upload/compression: 2-3 minutes (33K files, 2.1 GB)
- Docker build (6 stages): 10-15 minutes
- Stage 1 (frontend-builder): ~3 min
- Stage 2 (theia-builder): ~5 min (66 @theia packages, 8GB heap)
- Stage 3 (v5-backend-builder): ~3 min (Rust + clang + FDB)
- Stage 4 (codi2-builder): ~10 sec (pre-built binary)
- Stage 5 (monitor-builder): ~2 min (Rust file-monitor)
- Stage 6 (runtime): ~2 min (install llm CLIs, configure zsh)
- kubectl deployment: ~1 min
- Total: 12-18 minutes
Step 3: Monitor Build Progress
Option A: Stream logs in real-time
# Wait for build ID to appear
sleep 30
BUILD_ID=$(gcloud builds list --ongoing --project=serene-voltage-464305-n2 --limit=1 --format="value(id)")
echo "Build ID: $BUILD_ID"
# Stream logs
gcloud builds log $BUILD_ID --stream --project=serene-voltage-464305-n2
Option B: Check build status
# List ongoing builds
gcloud builds list --ongoing --project=serene-voltage-464305-n2
# Check specific build
gcloud builds describe <BUILD_ID> --project=serene-voltage-464305-n2
Step 4: Verify Deployment
Check Pods:
kubectl get pods -n coditect-app -l app=coditect-combined
Expected Output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coditect-combined-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
coditect-combined-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
coditect-combined-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
Check Services:
kubectl get services -n coditect-app
Check Ingress:
kubectl get ingress -n coditect-app
Expected: coditect.ai → 34.8.51.57
Step 5: Verify Container Features
Shell into Pod:
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -n coditect-app -l app=coditect-combined -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
kubectl exec -it -n coditect-app $POD_NAME -- zsh
Inside Container - Verify Non-Root:
whoami # Should output: coditect
id # Should output: uid=1000(coditect) gid=1000(coditect)
echo $SHELL # Should output: /bin/zsh
Verify llm CLIs:
# Claude CLI
claude --version
claude-code --version
# OpenAI CLI
openai --version
# Aider
aider --version
# Shell-GPT
sgpt --version
# Grok CLI
grok --version
# Anthropic Agent SDK (Python)
python3 -c "import anthropic; print(anthropic.__version__)"
# Gemini CLI (gcloud)
gcloud ai --help
Verify Auto-Started Services:
# Check CODI2
ps aux | grep codi2
tail -f /app/.coditect/logs/codi2.log
# Check File Monitor
ps aux | grep file-monitor
tail -f /app/.coditect/logs/file-monitor.log
# Check V5 Backend API
ps aux | grep coditect-v5-api
curl http://localhost:8080/health
# Check theia IDE
ps aux | grep "node src-gen/backend/main.js"
curl http://localhost:3000
Verify theia Extensions:
ls -la /app/theia/plugins/*.vsix | wc -l # Should output: 38
Verify Multi-Agent System:
ls -la /app/.coditect/agents-t2/*.md | wc -l # Should output: 12
ls -la /app/.coditect/skills-t2/ | wc -l # Should output: 15
ls -la /app/.coditect/commands-t2/*.md | wc -l # Should output: 52
Step 6: Browser Verification
Frontend + theia:
open https://coditect.ai
Verify:
- ✅ Coditect favicon appears in browser tab
- ✅ theia IDE loads with CODITECT branding
- ✅ File explorer shows vscode-icons (38 extensions)
- ✅ terminal opens with zsh + oh-my-zsh
- ✅ AI extensions available (Claude Code, Anthropic, Google AI, etc.)
V5 Backend API:
curl https://api.coditect.ai/health
Expected Response:
{"status":"ok","timestamp":"2025-10-27T06:00:00Z"}

Known Issues & Workarounds
Issue 1: kubectl Deployment Step May Fail (From Build #16)
Symptom: Cloud Build Step #3 fails with "statefulsets.apps 'coditect-combined' not found"
Root Cause: cloudbuild-combined.yaml tries to patch non-existent StatefulSet
Workaround: Manual deployment after Docker build succeeds
# Extract image tag from build logs
BUILD_ID="<BUILD_ID_FROM_LOGS>"
IMAGE_TAG="us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/serene-voltage-464305-n2/coditect/coditect-combined:$BUILD_ID"
# Manual deployment
kubectl set image deployment/coditect-combined -n coditect-app \
combined=$IMAGE_TAG
# Verify rollout
kubectl rollout status deployment/coditect-combined -n coditect-app
Permanent Fix: Update cloudbuild-combined.yaml Step #3 to use deployment instead of statefulset
Rollback Plan
If Build #18 has issues, rollback to Build #16 (last known working Docker build):
kubectl set image deployment/coditect-combined -n coditect-app \
combined=us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/serene-voltage-464305-n2/coditect/coditect-combined:22399b7b-e237-40ba-beae-9a2c0b6db7f8
kubectl rollout status deployment/coditect-combined -n coditect-app
Build #16 Image: 22399b7b-e237-40ba-beae-9a2c0b6db7f8
Build #16 Status: Docker build SUCCESS, kubectl deployment FAILED (can be deployed manually)
