Stop a managed service by id or name.

Restart a managed service by id or name. Returns {status, pid}.

Get recent output log entries for a service (default last 100 lines).

Get recent CPU/memory metric snapshots for a service.

Create a service. service is a ServiceCreate object (requires at least name and type; e.g. {"name": "...", "type": "process", "command": "..."}).

Update a service with a partial ServiceUpdate object of fields to change.

Delete a service by id or name (stops it first if running).

List all stacks with service_count, running_count and aggregate status (running | partial | stopped).

Get one stack by numeric id or by name.

Start all services in a stack (intra-stack depends_on order; already running members are skipped). Returns {status, services: [{id, name, outcome, error?}]}; status is "partial" if any member failed.

Stop all services in a stack (dependents stop before dependencies). Returns per-service outcomes like helm_start_stack.

Restart all services in a stack (stop pass, then start pass).

Create a stack. stack requires "name"; optional "description" and "tags" (list of strings). Assign services to it by setting their stack_id via helm_update_service.

Update a stack with a partial object: any of name, description, tags.

Delete a stack by id or name. Member services survive, detached (their stack_id becomes null); processes are not touched.

List all scripts.

Get one script by numeric id or by name.

Run a script by id or name. Returns {run_id, pid, started_at}.

Get the status of a script run by run_id (status, exit_code, timestamps).
