* feat(billing): enforce free-plan student cap across the app
Free (BASIC) plan orgs were able to exceed the advertised 20-student
limit because the cap existed only as dashboard cosmetic copy with no
server-side enforcement.
Add a single source of truth (getStudentLimit / STUDENT_LIMITS) and a
central guard (assertStudentCapacityOrThrow) wired into every path that
creates a new student-role org member: self-enrolment, course-invite
acceptance, bulk audience import, and org-invite acceptance. The guard
throws UPGRADE_REQUIRED (403) and notifies org admins by email (throttled
to once per org per day) when the limit is hit.
Surface the limit in the UI: disable the audience import button and the
course new-student invite section with upgrade banners for admins, and
show a "contact your administrator" message on the public enrol page for
students (who cannot upgrade). Expose a studentLimitReached flag from the
public course endpoint so the enrol button can be disabled proactively.
Add a one-time (manual, non-cron) db script,
db:notify-students-over-limit, to email admins of orgs already over the
limit at rollout.
* feat(billing): guard remaining student-creating paths against the cap
The initial cap enforcement missed several service entry points that also
create a new student-role org member. Add the capacity guard to:
- autoEnrollStudent (public org self-join on a tenant site)
- cohort enrollment (bulk group enrollment and single member accept)
- ensureProgramCourseAccess (program/cohort-granted course access)
For the cohort and program paths, only genuinely new members are counted
(existing org members are skipped) so re-enrolling current students is
never falsely blocked. The core path enforces via the shared limit check;
it throws UPGRADE_REQUIRED without the admin email since the queue lives
in the api layer.
* fix(billing): don't show cap block to existing org members on enroll page
The public course-by-slug endpoint is unauthenticated, so the enroll
page's studentLimitReached flag is org-wide and can't tell whether the
current viewer is already an org member. An existing student of a full
BASIC org would see Join disabled even though the backend correctly lets
existing members enroll without consuming a new seat.
Only pre-block anonymous visitors (would-be new joiners). Logged-in users
are governed by the membership-aware backend, which allows existing
members and returns UPGRADE_REQUIRED (surfaced via the enroll onError
mapping) for genuinely new students.
* feat(billing): deliver org plan-limits via /account with an extensible registry
Replace the ad-hoc, per-surface audience fetches (each calling getOrgAudience
just to read a count) with a single, future-proof delivery of org usage +
limits on the /account payload, gated to admin/tutor members (students never
receive limit data; a plain COUNT, no student rows).
Model it generically so future org limits (courses, etc.) drop in without
reshaping the payload or re-plumbing the frontend:
- New packages/utils plan-limits registry: PLAN_LIMIT_RESOURCES, PLAN_LIMITS
(reuses STUDENT_LIMITS), getPlanLimit, and a JSON-safe ResourceUsage /
OrgUsageLimits shape with isResourceLimitReached / resourceLimitRemaining.
- getAccountData attaches a per-org `limits` map for admin/tutor orgs.
- Store selectors currentOrgLimits / studentUsage / isStudentLimitReached;
sidebars, upgrade card, People pages, and invite modals read these instead
of fetching audience rows.
Bring cohort surfaces to parity with course: cohort People page banner and
cohort sidebar People upgrade icon, matching the course equivalents.
Also: close the upgrade modal that opened over the invite modal (drop the
`add` param via openUpgradeModalOver), redesign the sidebar upgrade card
(progress toward the student limit), add a Progress `variant`, and document
the no-complex-expressions-in-object-literals rule in AGENTS.md.
* refactor(billing): address PR review on the limits work
- Dedupe new student profile IDs before the cohort seat check so duplicate
batch entries can't overcount against the cap (Greptile P1).
- Drive the org-sidebar upgrade indicator from a dynamic nav-item `upgrade`
flag (audience config declares `upgradeResource: 'students'`; groups set it
from a `limitsReached` map) instead of a hardcoded path check.
- Collapse the audience Import button into a single button with ternary
`disabled`/`href`.
- Simplify the notify-students-over-limit upgrade link to app.classroomio.com.
- Drop the comment on the org `limits` field.
- Add .greptile/rules.md documenting the manual one-time db/src/scripts
convention (operator-controlled reruns) so idempotency isn't reflagged.
* fix(billing): name the org in the enroll capacity message
Change the enroll-page student-limit message from "This course has reached
its student capacity" to "{orgName} has reached its student capacity", since
the cap is org-wide, not course-specific. Pass orgName from the loaded org on
the page and from the currentOrg store in the enroll onError snackbar.
* style(billing): use PremiumIcon for the Authentication upgrade indicator
Replace the RocketIcon on paid settings sub-items (e.g. Authentication) with
the PremiumIcon used on the Audience item, right-aligned (ml-auto) to match.
@cio/core — shared business services
This package holds the business-logic layer that both apps/api (HTTP) and apps/jobs (BullMQ worker) need to call. Anything in here is transport-agnostic: no Hono Context, no ContentfulStatusCode, no c.json, no zValidator middleware. Just functions that compose database queries, apply business rules, and raise AppError on failure.
The name is intentional: this is the core of the platform. The HTTP routes in apps/api and the worker processors in apps/jobs are thin transports over this layer. Anything they share has to live here — otherwise one app ends up depending on the other (apps/jobs → apps/api was the original sin that motivated extracting this package).
What lives here
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
src/services/agent |
The durable agent runner, chat-mode tool implementations, planning helpers. |
src/services/course |
Course / section / content / landing-page business logic. |
src/services/exercise |
Exercise + question CRUD and orchestration. |
src/services/lesson |
Lesson read/write helpers. |
src/services/assets |
Asset upload, attach, detach, presign — used by both API routes and worker. |
src/services/jobs |
BullMQ enqueue helpers (e.g. startMediaJob) callable from any service. |
src/services/lesson-language |
Localized lesson content helpers. |
src/utils |
Storage, presigning, sanitization, tinybird, redis helpers. |
src/config |
Env schema (env), storage config, dashboard URL helpers. |
Placement rule
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Does the function need a Hono Context, or call │
│ `c.json`, or validate a request shape? │
│ │
│ YES → it's a route handler, stays in │
│ `apps/api/src/routes/{domain}/…` │
│ │
│ NO → it's a business service, goes in │
│ `packages/core/src/services/{domain}/…`│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
If the function only touches the database and has no business logic, it doesn't belong here either — it goes in packages/db/src/queries/{domain}/. The split is:
- Query layer (
@cio/db/queries): pure SQL/Drizzle helpers, no business rules. - Service layer (
@cio/core/services): composes queries, applies rules, throwsAppError. - Route layer (
apps/api/src/routes): HTTP transport — auth, validation, status codes, response shapes. - Worker layer (
apps/jobs/src/workers): BullMQ transport — pulls a job, calls services, persists outcome.
What does NOT belong here
- HTTP-shaped code (Hono types, response helpers, content-type handling) — keep in
apps/api. - BullMQ worker bootstrapping (Redis connection, worker lifecycle) — keep in
apps/jobs. - Frontend / Svelte / UI primitives — those live in
apps/dashboardorpackages/ui. - Raw Drizzle query functions with no business logic — those go in
packages/db/queries.
Why it isn't called @cio/services
@cio/core is shorter and reads cleaner at import sites (from '@cio/core/services/course/content'). The folder structure makes it obvious that it's a services layer; the package name doesn't need to repeat that.
History
This package was originally extracted as @cio/agent-runtime to hold the durable agent runner and its transitive closure. That closure turned out to be ~80% generic business services that apps/api and the worker both need, so the package was renamed to @cio/core to match its contents. The agent runner (services/agent/course-generation-runner.ts) remains the top-level export for apps/jobs, but it's just one of many services living here now.
