Node.js

Node fills the backend role. It gets the full verification path, including being started and asked whether it is alive.

Node fills the backend role#

Ask for an API, an Express service or a Node backend and it scaffolds into its own directory, separate from any front end in the same plan.

What the gate checks#

Install
Dependencies resolve from the manifest in the repository.
Tests
The repository’s own suite runs. A suite that is missing is not a pass — it is the case a human should look at.
Start and health
The server is started and its health route polled until it answers or the readiness budget runs out.
Teardown
Process groups are killed, not just the shell that launched them, because a server spawns children that outlive it.
StacksPythonPython fills the backend role, and it is the stack with the most to prove automatically — a suite that runs, and a service that starts and answers.StacksReactA React front end scaffolds as a web service in its own directory, so it can sit alongside a separate backend without either plan touching the other’s files.FeaturesVerificationEvery gate used to reason about the tree without ever starting it. Now the tree has to compile, the suite has to run, and the application has to boot and answer before anything is called finished.
