Phase 0: bootstrap the Warp homeserver
Scaffolds the server module and everything Phase 0 of PLAN.md calls for:
a binary that boots, serves its discovery endpoints and nothing else yet.

- config: one YAML file plus per-field WARP_* environment overrides,
  unknown fields rejected, validation that reports every problem at once
- logging and metrics: slog, a Prometheus registry, per-route HTTP
  instrumentation labelled by pattern rather than path
- httputil: the Matrix error envelope, error-returning handlers, CORS,
  request logging, panic recovery, and a router over http.ServeMux
- endpoints: /_matrix/client/versions, /.well-known/matrix/client,
  /.well-known/matrix/server (gated), /healthz, /metrics, and
  M_UNRECOGNIZED for everything else
- storage: driver registry, shared database/sql base, checksummed
  migration runner, sqlite and postgres drivers, pocketbase stub
- settings: server_settings table behind a cached service, so the
  federation and registration switches change without a restart
- federation: the gate that makes federation a runtime mode
- cmd/warp: serve, migrate, generate-keys, version
- Makefile, golangci-lint v2, GitHub Actions CI (Linux and Windows tests,
  race on Linux, storage tests against PostgreSQL, lint, boot smoke test),
  Dockerfile, example config and docs

# Configuration
Warp reads one YAML file. Every setting can also come from the
environment, and the environment wins. With no file at all the defaults
plus `WARP_*` variables are used, which is how the container image runs.
Where the file comes from, in order:
1. `--config <path>`
2. `$WARP_CONFIG`
3. `./warp.yaml`, if it exists
4. nothing — defaults and environment only
An unknown field is a fatal error. A typo in a security-relevant setting
must not be ignored.
List-valued variables are comma-separated. A single `-` clears a list:
`WARP_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=-`.
## Settings
| YAML | Environment | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `global.server_name` | `WARP_SERVER_NAME` | — | Required. Part of every ID; cannot be changed later. |
| `global.private_key` | `WARP_PRIVATE_KEY` | `./keys/signing.key` | Written by `warp generate-keys`. |
| `global.well_known.client_base_url` | `WARP_WELL_KNOWN_CLIENT_BASE_URL` | `https://<server_name>` | Advertised to clients. |
| `global.well_known.identity_server_base_url` | `WARP_WELL_KNOWN_IDENTITY_SERVER_BASE_URL` | empty | Omitted from the document when empty. |
| `global.well_known.server_address` | `WARP_WELL_KNOWN_SERVER_ADDRESS` | empty | `host:port` for other homeservers. Empty = no delegation, other servers fall back to SRV/A. |
| `listen.address` | `WARP_LISTEN_ADDRESS` | `:8008` | |
| `listen.read_header_timeout` | `WARP_READ_HEADER_TIMEOUT` | `10s` | |
| `listen.read_timeout` | `WARP_READ_TIMEOUT` | `60s` | |
| `listen.write_timeout` | `WARP_WRITE_TIMEOUT` | `120s` | Raise before long-polling `/sync` lands in Phase 4. |
| `listen.idle_timeout` | `WARP_IDLE_TIMEOUT` | `120s` | |
| `listen.max_header_bytes` | `WARP_MAX_HEADER_BYTES` | `1048576` | |
| `listen.shutdown_timeout` | `WARP_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT` | `30s` | Grace period for in-flight requests. |
| `database.driver` | `WARP_DB_DRIVER` | `sqlite` | `sqlite`, `postgres`, `pocketbase` (not implemented). |
| `database.connection_string` | `WARP_DB_CONNECTION_STRING` | SQLite file in the working directory | |
| `database.max_open_conns` | `WARP_DB_MAX_OPEN_CONNS` | `10` | Ignored by SQLite: writes are serialised onto one connection. |
| `database.max_idle_conns` | `WARP_DB_MAX_IDLE_CONNS` | `5` | |
| `database.conn_max_lifetime` | `WARP_DB_CONN_MAX_LIFETIME` | `1h` | |
| `database.auto_migrate` | `WARP_DB_AUTO_MIGRATE` | `true` | `false` makes startup fail while migrations are pending. |
| `client_api.cors_allowed_origins` | `WARP_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | `["*"]` | The spec expects any origin. |
| `federation.enabled` | `WARP_FEDERATION_ENABLED` | `false` | |
| `federation.allowlist` | `WARP_FEDERATION_ALLOWLIST` | `[]` | Non-empty = federate only with these. |
| `federation.denylist` | `WARP_FEDERATION_DENYLIST` | `[]` | Always wins over the allowlist. |
| `federation.allow_runtime_toggle` | `WARP_FEDERATION_ALLOW_RUNTIME_TOGGLE` | `true` | See below. |
| `registration.enabled` | `WARP_REGISTRATION_ENABLED` | `false` | |
| `registration.allow_runtime_toggle` | `WARP_REGISTRATION_ALLOW_RUNTIME_TOGGLE` | `true` | |
| `logging.level` | `WARP_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`. |
| `logging.format` | `WARP_LOG_FORMAT` | `text` | `text` or `json`. |
| `logging.add_source` | `WARP_LOG_ADD_SOURCE` | `false` | File and line in every record. |
| `metrics.enabled` | `WARP_METRICS_ENABLED` | `true` | |
| `metrics.path` | `WARP_METRICS_PATH` | `/metrics` | Served on the same listener. |
## Settings that change at runtime
`federation.enabled` and `registration.enabled` are also stored in the
`server_settings` database table, which is what the admin API writes to.
- With `allow_runtime_toggle: true` (the default) the stored value wins
over the config file at boot, and the admin API may change it. The
change takes effect on the next request; no restart.
- With `allow_runtime_toggle: false` the config file is authoritative and
the admin API refuses to change the setting. Any previously stored value
is kept but ignored, so re-enabling the toggle restores the
administrator's last choice.
Everything else is read once at startup.
## What federation off actually means
While `federation.enabled` is false:
- `/.well-known/matrix/server` answers `404 M_UNRECOGNIZED`, and so will
`/_matrix/federation/*` and `/_matrix/key/*` once they exist.
- Nothing outbound runs — in Phase 0 there is nothing outbound yet; from
Phase 5 the transaction queue, key fetcher and remote media fetch stay
stopped.
- Client-Server endpoints that would need a remote server answer
`M_FORBIDDEN` with a message saying federation is disabled.
- Events are still signed with the server key, and room and event IDs are
unchanged. A room created while federation is off federates normally
once it is switched on.
