Ranch Hand v0.1.0-rc.30 — Public Preview

Ranch Hand v0.1.0-rc.30 makes a real, persistent RepoWrangler deployment the default on every supported target. Demo mode remains available only as an explicit operator choice.

Deployment defaults

  • Docker Desktop: production data mode with persistent SQLite, generated and lifecycle-preserved secrets, loopback-only access, and protected onboarding.
  • WSL Docker Compose: production data mode with SQLite, generated secrets, loopback-only access, and persistent WSL service hosting.
  • Remote Linux: production data mode with generated secrets and a one-time setup token on the selected private-network endpoint.
  • Cloudflare: production data mode on D1 with protected Worker secret bindings and a one-time setup token on Cloudflare-managed HTTPS.
  • Azure Container Apps: production data mode with a dedicated PostgreSQL flexible server, secure Container App secrets, a one-time setup token, and Azure-managed HTTPS. This path requires RepoWrangler v1.0.18 or newer.

Selecting Demo mode changes the chosen target to its mock-data profile. Ranch Hand verifies /health/ready reports the exact selected release and mode before committing the lifecycle operation.

Docker Desktop installation feedback

The guided Docker Desktop prerequisite action permits the Docker installer and Windows administrator approval to appear. Deployment displays progress while Ranch Hand creates the container and waits for readiness, and reports returned failures instead of appearing inactive.

Verification and classification

All Ranch Hand Go tests and vet passed, and its embedded interface typechecked and built. RepoWrangler v1.0.18 passed 234 tests, workspace typechecks, its production web build, release-contract tests, and Azure Bicep compilation.

This is an unsigned Public Preview and may trigger Windows reputation warnings. The production-data profiles operate on real persistent data; Public Preview describes Ranch Hand's release and support maturity, not mock-data mode.
