## cac-lsphp — per-site DETACHED lsphp (LSAPI) backend for the shared-ols tier. ## ## The LiteSpeed analogue of cac-fpm: a slim, single-tenant PHP backend that ## runs `lsphp -b 0.0.0.0:9000` (detached LSAPI mode) and NOTHING ELSE — no ## webserver. The shared OpenLiteSpeed container (shared-ols) sits in front and ## reaches this over the docker network via an extProcessor of type lsapi, ## address :9000 — structurally identical to how shared-httpd ## reaches a cac-fpm container's php-fpm on :9000. ## ## Built on the SAME LiteSpeed prebuilt base as cac-litespeed so the lsphp ## binary + extension set are byte-for-byte the runtime customers already get ## on the litespeed tier (memcached, redis, imagick, mbstring, mysqlnd, intl, ## gd, soap, bcmath, gmp, sodium, opcache, ... + lsphpNN-ldap added below). ## We do NOT strip the bundled OpenLiteSpeed binaries: the "no webserver" ## guarantee comes from the ENTRYPOINT (it only ever execs lsphp), and deleting ## OLS files from the upstream image risks breaking lsphp's shared libs for no ## real benefit. Only :9000 is EXPOSEd, and OLS is never started. ## ## See the design spec + PoC: whp docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-09-ols-lsphp-tier.md ## and the LSAPI path-parity finding (feedback_ols_lsapi_no_script_filename_remap).

The parity we can ## have — and the one this file now guarantees — is the other direction: the ## shipped runtime is pinned to whatever version this stage compiled against. ## That version is recorded here and consumed by stage 2, so the two apt layers ## are cache-locked to each other. Without this, `COPY ./ext` invalidating only ## THIS stage while stage 2's apt layer stayed cached produced a real, repeatable ## skew (reviewer measured a .so built on 8.3.32 shipped next to an 8.3.30 ## runtime, with lsphp83-common at 8.3.31 — the vendor family is not always ## uniformly versioned either). ## ## Benign in practice (PHP holds ABI stable across a patch series) but it is the ## riskier direction — headers NEWER than the runtime — and the runtime assertion ## in stage 2 catches only load failure, never silent struct-layout drift. ## ## Separate stage on purpose: the compiler + headers (~400MB) stay out of the ## shipped image, which gains only the ~40KB .so.
