feat(infra): split task into api + mongo + meili for zero-downtime api deploys - #7

…ime) Api deploys now use the default rolling 200/100 config: a new api task spins up alongside the old, passes health checks, then the old drains. Zero downtime for the public endpoint. The deploy script drops the stop-before-start override it was forced into when mongo/meili shared the same EFS-backed task. Mongo and meili move to their own ECS services (stateful, 1 replica each, stop-before-start on their rare deploys). They publish via Service Connect as tcp://mongo.<ns>:27017 and tcp://meili.<ns>:7700 with ingress restricted to the api's task SG only — no other app in the shared cluster can reach them at the network layer. Mongo launches with --auth. A random_password generates the root credentials at apply time, stored in Secrets Manager alongside a derived MONGO_URI secret the api reads. First-boot init creates the librechat user; subsequent boots re-use the existing user. Depends on modules/app@feat/app-tcp-protocol which adds three capabilities to the shared app module: - internal_server.app_protocol = "tcp" - image_override for pre-mirrored upstream images - internal_server.ingress_security_group_ids for least-privilege Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
EFS access points move from /mongo + /meili → /mongo-v2 + /meili-v2 so the new auth-enabled mongo boots against an empty dataDir (its init script only creates the root user on a fresh volume; reusing the pre-auth data would leave the api unable to authenticate). Api env gains CREATE_BOOTSTRAP_USER=true + BOOTSTRAP_USER_PASSWORD so the admin user is (re)created on first boot against the fresh mongo. Re-seeding afterwards: agent via seed-botnim-agent.js, prompts via migrate-prompts-into-db.js. Staging conversation history is lost — acceptable tradeoff for the cutover.

Terraform cannot resolve count/for_each whose length depends on a list of module-output values (Build-Up-IL/org-infra was blocking plan). Defense-in-depth simplified: mongo --auth + random_password in Secrets Manager, meili MEILI_MASTER_KEY — network stays cluster-wide internal-client but app-layer auth blocks unauthorized reads.
…sources) data.aws_ecs_task_definition / aws_iam_role lookups failed because the resources they named no longer exist — the previous apply tore down the old module.librechat task def before the new module.librechat_api one was created. Reference module outputs directly so Terraform resolves the dependency order.
…o staging values Service Connect publishes client aliases under the short service name (mongo:27017, meili:7700), not the FQDN mongo.buildup-staging.local. Using the FQDN caused getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND on first boot — the api task's /etc/hosts only has the short name. Also update terragrunt fallback image_tag to the v0.8.4-botnim-split-v1 tag that's actually in ECR, and sync botnim_agent_id_unified with the agent id seeded into staging (agent_rQ6pcpy-pvgu18HKs9oO9). Verified end-to-end on https://botnim.staging.build-up.team: - admin login ✓ - Hebrew budget question returns real BudgetKey data ✓ - Hebrew takanon question cites correct sections ✓ - Rolling deploy zero-downtime (0 failed probes during rollover) ✓ Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Split the LibreChat Fargate task into three ECS services to enable zero-downtime api deploys:
librechat-staging-apilibrechat-staging-mongolibrechat-staging-meiliApi deploys are now drop-in: new task spins up alongside old, passes health checks, old drains. ~0 s downtime on the public endpoint. Mongo/meili redeploys still stop-before-start because of EFS WiredTiger locking — but they change approximately never, so it doesn't matter.
