Overview
What it is
StackRunner is a desktop host for running and operating local infrastructure. One background daemon owns services, databases, containers, backups, tunnels, and runtime state so the desktop app, shell users, and local AI agents all control the same system.
The interesting part
The challenge
Giving humans and agents access to infrastructure creates a demanding security boundary. Long-running work, secrets, destructive changes, file exchange, process ownership, and recovery all need explicit, inspectable rules.
Selected work
What I built
- Built the Rust daemon, shared core, Tauri desktop app, human-readable CLI, stdio MCP server, and authenticated loopback control API.
- Unified 171 operations across the desktop, CLI, and agent catalog with state-bound confirmations for sensitive actions.
- Implemented service and database management, containers, tunnels, encrypted backups, keychain secrets, health checks, rollback, and production-readiness diagnostics.
Result
Outcome
StackRunner is an active systems product that turns a local machine into an understandable, agent-accessible application host without opening a remote control surface.
