otakup0pe/magicbeam

This system is an Erlang/OTP application designed for runtime code manipulation and process control. It provides capabilities for hot-reloading modules, injecting and killing remote processes, and managing interactive shells on remote nodes. The project has been modernized with a rebar3 build system and Dockerized testing infrastructure.

The src area now contains the core magicbeam application, consolidating previous components into a unified OTP structure. This introduces hotbeam for monitoring and reloading Erlang modules, thunderbeam for aggressive process injection and killing, and shellbeam for an interactive REPL with subshell support. The application provides command-line tools to inject magicbeam into remote nodes via SSH or RPC, manage application environments, and control hot-reload and process-killing behaviors through a structured shell interface.

src · high confidence

The project now requires Erlang/OTP 27 or later and has migrated its build system to rebar3, including a new rebar.config that pulls the getopt dependency and produces an escript. A new Makefile and Dockerfile.test provide a standardized way to build and run tests via Docker, while the .gitignore has been updated to exclude build artifacts and lockfiles. The README has been refreshed to document the new installation and configuration steps, and the LICENSE file has been updated to reflect current copyright holders.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The include directory has been restructured to consolidate configuration and helper macros for the system's core capabilities. New header files define records and macros for Hotbeam (hot-reloading), Shellbeam (interactive shell injection), and Thunderbeam (process killing/injection), replacing the legacy Thunderbeam-specific headers. Logging macros have been migrated from the deprecated error\_logger to the standard logger, and new helper macros for handling specific process states (like 'seppuku') have been added to support the new injection and reloading behaviors.

include · high confidence

Added new EUnit test suites for \magicbeam\_util\ (covering random number generation and application environment lookups) and \shellbeam\ (covering command argument matching, tab completion logic, and format string upgrades), along with a helper module for shell command definitions.
