feat: Complete star-mono repository setup with monorepo structure and API gateway

[Copilot]

This PR implements the complete monorepo structure for FlexNetOS star-mono as specified in the repository setup requirements. The changes establish a fully functional foundation for AI/ML development with proper workspace configuration, build system, and automation tools.

Key Changes

Directory Structure

Created the complete monorepo architecture with all required directories:

• apps/ - User-facing applications (ready for future development)
• services/ - Microservices with working API gateway
• packages/ - Shared libraries workspace
• trainer/ - ML training pipelines
• vendor/ - Git subtree imports for modified dependencies
• external/ - Git submodule imports for external projects
• notebooks/ - Jupyter notebooks for data science workflows

Build System Fixes

• Fixed tower-http dependency configuration by updating features from compression to compression-br and compression-gzip
• Resolved Cargo workspace member issues by temporarily excluding non-existent workspace members
• Added comprehensive dependency management in workspace Cargo.toml

Functional API Gateway

The API service is now fully operational:

cargo run --bin api-gateway
curl http://localhost:3000/health  # Returns {"status": "healthy", "timestamp": "..."}
curl http://localhost:3000/        # Returns "FlexNetOS Star Mono API Gateway"

Repository Import Infrastructure

• Made scripts/import-repos.sh executable with proper permissions
• Tested submodule import functionality (working correctly)
• Script ready to import external repositories including:
  • Core infrastructure: Pingora, MCP Rust SDK
  • ML/AI frameworks: Candle, Burn, llama.cpp
  • Agent frameworks: Letta, Browser-use, OpenHands
  • Data tools: DataFusion, DuckDB, Qdrant

Development Tools

• Added comprehensive .gitignore for Rust, Python, Node.js, and IDE files
• Created setup.sh script for automated repository initialization
• Added documentation README files in each directory explaining their purpose

GitHub Actions

The existing .github/workflows/sync-repos.yml workflow is properly configured for:

• Automated subtree syncing every 6 hours
• Manual workflow dispatch with custom repository selection
• Pull request creation for sync updates

Testing

All components have been tested and verified:

• ✅ Workspace builds successfully with cargo build --workspace
• ✅ API gateway starts and responds to HTTP requests
• ✅ Submodule import functionality works correctly
• ✅ Setup script provides automated initialization
• ✅ GitHub Actions workflow is properly structured

Usage

After merging, users can get started immediately:

# Clone and setup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/FlexNetOS/star-mono.git
cd star-mono
./setup.sh

# Optional: Import external repositories
./scripts/import-repos.sh

# Start development
cargo run --bin api-gateway

This establishes a solid foundation for the AI/ML monorepo that can scale to include all the tools and frameworks mentioned in the project vision.

Original prompt

Step-by-Step Commands to Execute

1. Create the Repository on GitHub
   bash

Using GitHub CLI (if you have it installed)

gh repo create FlexNetOS/star-mono --public --description "Unified AI/ML monorepo combining starred repos and tools"

OR create it manually through GitHub web interface at:

https://github.com/new

2. Set Up Your Local Repository
   bash

Create a local directory and initialize

mkdir star-mono
cd star-mono
git init

Create the directory structure

mkdir -p apps services packages trainer vendor external notebooks scripts
mkdir -p .github/workflows
mkdir -p services/api/src

Create all the scaffold files I provided above

(Copy and paste each file content into the appropriate location)

Add all files

git add .
git commit -m "feat: initial monorepo scaffold with workspace configuration"

Connect to GitHub and push

git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/FlexNetOS/star-mono.git
git push -u origin main
3. Make the Import Script Executable and Run It
bash

Make the script executable

chmod +x scripts/import-repos.sh

Run the import script (this will take a while)

./scripts/import-repos.sh

After imports, commit the changes

git add .
git commit -m "feat: import initial set of external repositories"
git push
4. Set Up GitHub Actions
The workflow file (.github/workflows/sync-repos.yml) will automatically start running once pushed to GitHub. It will run:

Every 6 hours automatically
Or manually through the GitHub Actions tab
5. Initialize Submodules (if any were added)
bash

Initialize all submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

Commit submodule initialization

git add .gitmodules
git commit -m "chore: initialize submodules"
git push
6. Test the Basic API Service
bash

Build the workspace

cargo build --workspace

Run the API gateway

cargo run --bin api-gateway

In another terminal, test it

curl http://localhost:3000/health
Quick Copy-Paste Setup Script
Here's a consolidated script you can save as setup.sh and run:

bash
#!/bin/bash

echo "🚀 Setting up FlexNetOS/star-mono repository..."

Initialize git

git init

Create directory structure

echo "📁 Creating directory structure..."
mkdir -p apps services/api/src packages trainer vendor external notebooks scripts .github/workflows

Create Cargo.toml (you'll need to paste the content)

echo "📝 Remember to create the following files with the content provided:"
echo " - Cargo.toml"
echo " - .github/workflows/sync-repos.yml"
echo " - services/api/src/main.rs"
echo " - services/api/Cargo.toml"
echo " - scripts/import-repos.sh"
echo " - README.md"
echo " - docker-compose.yml"

Initialize git

git add .
git commit -m "feat: initial monorepo scaffold"

Set up remote (update this after creating the repo on GitHub)

echo "⚠️ Create the repository on GitHub first, then run:"
echo "git remote add origin https://github.com/FlexNetOS/star-mono.git"
echo "git branch -M main"
echo "git push -u origin main"

echo "✅ Setup complete! Next steps:"
echo "1. Create the repository on GitHub"
echo "2. Add the scaffold files"
echo "3. Push to GitHub"
echo "4. Run ./scripts/import-repos.sh"
