# tcfs Development Context

## Ratified rulings (read first)

**R-HOOK-CONVERGENCE-20261004**, explicit operator interview, Linear TIN-3692
comment `98cf680c-7299-4949-bfb2-60079053ad43`, supersedes the former R-N11
blanket process ban and R-N12 hook-stop mechanics. This block is copied from
the lab-managed machine defaults ("Ratified rulings" in the global Claude
defaults); escape hatches and the receipt format live in lab
`docs/operations/HOOK_ADVISORY.md`. Ratified operator rulings from
2026-10-04 on outrank this file.

- **R-N11 — Ownership before action.** Your own recorded tasks and named
  services are permitted after checking ownership and live sessions.
  Cross-session actions (another agent's processes, tmux servers or sessions,
  an operator's live session) require explicit user authorization. Publish
  the target and the authorization in the receipt.
  Incident behind the original rule: an agent walked process ancestry to
  PID 1, found the operator's tmux server, and killed it with a literal PID;
  critical work was lost.
- **R-N12 — Hooks are advisory.** Every lab hook, including credential
  checks, may warn but never denies, fails a commit or demands an extra
  approval. Documentation and searches are data. Use a receipted alternative
  within existing authorization; ask only when the action itself needs a new
  decision.
- **R-N13 — Ratification.** Every mutating step cites a ruling ID in its
  receipt; a receipt without one is an unratified act. Explicit operator
  answers and instructions are authority; a reminder is advisory. Every
  session writes a `docs/agent-notes/` entry before ending, and distilled
  facts go to Linear. Ticket descriptions are never rewritten, only
  superseded by dated comments.
- **Force push is allowed** (operator, 2026-10-16: "force push is totally
  allowe[d]"). `--force` and `--force-with-lease` need no extra confirmation;
  server-side branch protection is the only gate. Do not restate bans the
  operator did not give, in this file, a lane brief or a receipt.

## Program context — where truth lives

This file covers build/test/navigation and the machines that run them. For what
is true and what ships next, read these in order (each owns a distinct layer;
none is duplicated here):

0. [docs/SPEC.md](docs/SPEC.md) — what tcfs is for, requirements,
   acceptance, and the single-source map (which file is canonical for what).
1. [docs/VISION.md](docs/VISION.md) — north star + the claim-tier legend.
2. [docs/PRODUCT.md](docs/PRODUCT.md) — the accepted A→B→C delivery sequence,
   stable-root design, repository ownership.
3. [docs/ops/current.md](docs/ops/current.md) — the authoritative live
   blocker/proof boundary (see its own precedence preamble).
4. [docs/platform-support.md](docs/platform-support.md) — per-client maturity.
5. [docs/release/evidence/README.md](docs/release/evidence/README.md) —
   evidence corpus index.

Operational ladders an agent should read rather than re-derive:

- **Gate ladder (G0–G6).**
  [docs/ops/large-workdir-daily-driver-sequencing-2026-05-30.md](docs/ops/large-workdir-daily-driver-sequencing-2026-05-30.md)
  owns the gate definitions and their dependency order (`G1 + G2 → G3 → G4`,
  with `G5`/`G6` following). It is explicitly superseded for *live status* by
  `docs/ops/current.md` — read it for sequencing, not for state.
- **Repo-roam program.**
  [docs/ops/repo-roam-test-plan-2026-06-08.md](docs/ops/repo-roam-test-plan-2026-06-08.md)
  is the G5 dev-env zero-diff ladder over `neo`/`honey`;
  [docs/ops/git-roam-daily-driver-acceptance-2026-06-08.md](docs/ops/git-roam-daily-driver-acceptance-2026-06-08.md)
  is the "machine does not matter" acceptance plan.
- **Per-device crypto is sequenced, not a config flip.**
  [docs/ops/per-device-crypto-identity-design-2026-05-18.md](docs/ops/per-device-crypto-identity-design-2026-05-18.md)
  is the design;
  [docs/ops/per-device-crypto-migration-2026-06-06.md](docs/ops/per-device-crypto-migration-2026-06-06.md)
  owns the expand/contract ordering and the tri-state `crypto.wrap_mode` gate
  that replaces the shipped-but-never-flipped `crypto.per_device_wrapping`
  bool; and
  [docs/ops/shared-master-fleet-migration-runbook-2026-07-28.md](docs/ops/shared-master-fleet-migration-runbook-2026-07-28.md)
  owns how to execute one step. Every host is still `wrap_mode = master`. Do
  not flip a wrapping mode as a side effect of a code change, and treat
  `tcfs key rotate <prefix>` as a rebuild gate rather than an available
  operator remedy.

Tracked work: Linear initiative "Tummycrypt — Daily Driver Track"
(https://linear.app/tinyland/initiative/tummycrypt-daily-driver-track-95eeeb5e7493),
umbrella "Cordillera - Tinyland Remote-Everything Program"
(https://linear.app/tinyland/initiative/cordillera-tinyland-remote-everything-program-15f56b187c19).
Sibling repos: tinyland-inc/rockies (OS adoption seed, TIN-2300),
tinyland-inc/lab (fleet deploy/pins, host inventory, and the estate's
build-placement and host-hold rulings), Jesssullivan/prompts-enqueue
(program ledger, prompts 47/60).

## Quick Start

```bash
# Enter the Nix devShell (recommended). Its shellHook puts the pinned
# toolchain ahead of any Home Manager rustc/cargo already on PATH.
nix develop
# Or let direnv load the committed .envrc once:
direnv allow

# Build / test / lint. On `neo` these run on `sting` or `honey`, never
# locally — see "Machines that run this repo" below.
cargo build --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets

# Related lanes through the task runner. The flags are NOT identical to the
# cargo block or to CI: `task lint` adds `-D warnings` but omits
# `--all-targets`, so it never compiles tests/benches/examples; CI clippy is
# `--all-targets` without `-D warnings`. Green in one does not imply the other.
task build         # cargo build --workspace
task test          # cargo test --workspace
task lint          # cargo clippy --workspace -D warnings + cargo fmt --check

# Local dev stack: 8 containers (3 SeaweedFS masters + volume + filer, NATS,
# Prometheus, Grafana) via docker-compose. Linux host only — see below.
task dev
```

## Environment Notes

### Toolchain

- **Rust**: edition 2021; workspace `rust-version = "1.93"`; pinned to
  `1.93.0` by `rust-toolchain.toml`. `.envrc` prints a loud direnv error when
  the active `rustc` is below the minimum or does not match the pin — but
  `log_error` does not abort the load, so the mismatched `rustc` stays on
  `PATH`. Check `rustc --version` yourself; do not treat a successful direnv
  load as proof.
- **Invoke plain `cargo`.** It is expected to come from the pinned toolchain or
  the Nix devShell (`Justfile` header; `flake.nix` `shellHook`). Do not
  hardcode `~/.cargo/bin/cargo` — that path is only the rustup fallback
  `.envrc` adds when `nix` is absent. Known drift: `Taskfile.yaml` `bench`
  still hardcodes `~/.cargo/bin/cargo bench`, so `task bench` fails on a
  Nix-only machine.
- **Linker**: there is no `mold` in the Nix devShell or in any system
  toolchain this repo assumes — `flake.nix` does not package it. The default
  system linker is used everywhere. The `mold` comment at the top of
  `.cargo/config.toml` is stale; do not act on it, and do not add a `mold`
  entry to `.cargo/config.toml`.
- **PATH ordering**: the devShell and `.envrc` both put `target/debug` and
  `target/release` ahead of installed packages, so a stale workspace build can
  shadow the deployed `tcfs`/`tcfsd`. Separately, as of the 2026-08-22
  snapshot (not re-verified during the backend pause), an unmanaged `v0.12.12`
  install on `neo` shadowed the managed build in the effective interactive
  `PATH` (`docs/ops/current.md`, historical Fleet row). Smoke harnesses print the resolved binary path — check it before
  believing a version string.

### Machines that run this repo

Not exhaustive: acceptance and storage hosts are a separate pool, listed in
[docs/ops/lab-host-acceptance-matrix.md](docs/ops/lab-host-acceptance-matrix.md).

| Host | What it is | How agents use it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `neo` | macOS (Darwin) maintainer workstation, resource-constrained | Orchestration, review, editing, and the release-adjacent `neo → honey` live lane. **No local compile/test/`task dev` here** — the estate build-placement ruling sends heavy toolchain work to a remote host, and an unbounded local build takes every session on the machine down with it. Login shell is `bash`, so agent and SSH commands land in bash; interactive terminals re-enter fish from emulator config, so `export VAR=VALUE` fails at a `neo` prompt too. |
| `honey` | Rocky Linux 10; canonical Linux control point | High-volume push/pull, daemon and service checks, conflict and stress lanes, Linux-first operator truth. Login shell is **`fish`**, which has no `export VAR=VALUE`; use `env VAR=VALUE command` or wrap in `bash -c '...'`. |
| `sting` | Rocky Linux 10.2; headless remote-dev seat driven from `neo` | The dev seat for build/test work that must not run on `neo` — under the bounded readmission below. Login shell is POSIX `bash` with an interactive-only fish handoff, so a non-interactive SSH command lands in `bash`. |

Host facts, shell settings, and every hold state above are owned by
`tinyland-inc/lab` (`AGENTS.md`, `inventory/host_vars/{macbook-neo,honey,sting}.yml`,
`vars/fleet_switch_targets.json`); that repo is authoritative if it disagrees
with this table.

- **Rocky-specific (`honey`, `sting`)**: a rustup install lands in
  `~/.cargo/bin`, which is not on `PATH` by default. `.envrc`'s non-Nix
  fallback adds it. Inside `nix develop` the pinned toolchain leads and this
  does not apply.
- **`sting` is under an open continuity hold.** The lab-side machine hold
  (`STING_CONTINUITY_INCIDENT_2026-08-17`) is still active; `hold.active` is
  `true` and the host stays out of every rendered switch scope. An attended
  2026-08-22 operator ruling readmitted the **dev-seat role only** —
  interactive SSH, tmux, and dev work under `~/git`. That readmission lifts no
  other role. Before using `sting`, read `hold.roles` in lab's
  `vars/fleet_switch_targets.json`. `sting` also carries production roles owned
  by lab and outside this repo's scope, so unbounded resource use, reboots, and
  any host-level change there are not this repo's call.
- **`sting`'s `tcfs_runtime` role is held disabled** — `tcfsd` and
  `tcfsd-health` are inactive and disabled/masked/not-found. Do not start a
  daemon or drive enrollment there. That is narrower than "not a TCFS target":
  `docs/ops/current.md` still queues `sting` for release/root-topology
  convergence and for candidate/activation invariants, so fleet-coherence work
  against it is sequenced, not forbidden — it just needs its own attended
  readmission first.
- **Acceptance hosts are a different question.** The host pool, lane order, and
  reset contract for real-host acceptance live in
  [docs/ops/lab-host-acceptance-matrix.md](docs/ops/lab-host-acceptance-matrix.md)
  and [docs/ops/neo-honey-acceptance.md](docs/ops/neo-honey-acceptance.md).
  A dev seat is not an acceptance target. That matrix's `sting` row still reads
  "none yet / blocked on lab-side hardware stabilization"; it predates the
  dev-seat ratification and correcting it is an operator call, not a
  docs-hygiene one.
- **Live-work freezes outrank convenience.** `docs/ops/current.md` records
  which live resolver, enrollment, deploy, and crypto ceremonies are frozen
  (today: the backend pause; TIN-2856 is Done and is not a freeze).
  Source review, tests, and landing continue during a freeze; new fleet claims
  do not.

## Key Patterns

- **Proto source of truth**: `crates/tcfs-core/src/proto/tcfs.proto` — all crates import via `tcfs_core::proto`
- **Error handling**: `thiserror` for libraries, `anyhow` for binaries
- **Async**: tokio full features, `tracing` for structured logging
- **State cache**: JSON-backed at `config.sync.state_db` with its extension replaced by `.json` (`state.db` → `state.json`)
- **CAS layout**: chunks at `{prefix}/chunks/{hash}` (ciphertext BLAKE3 when encrypted); path-indexed uploads (the normal sync path) put manifests at `{prefix}/manifests/{manifest_object_id}` with an index entry at `{prefix}/index/{rel_path}`; only direct, non-indexed uploads use `{prefix}/manifests/{file_hash}`. Manifests and index keys are plaintext (see `docs/SPEC.md`, Current status)
- **Feature gates**: `fuse` feature on `tcfs-fuse` (tcfs-cli has no features of its own and always enables `tcfs-fuse/fuse`); `nats` and `crypto` features on tcfs-sync

## Testing

```bash
# All tests
cargo test --workspace

# Specific crate
cargo test -p tcfs-sync

# Feature-gated lane CI also runs
cargo test -p tcfs-sync --features nats,crypto

# Property-based tests
cargo test -p tcfs-sync -- conflict
cargo test -p tcfs-sync --test multi_machine_sim

# With output
cargo test -- --nocapture
```

Shell-harness and proof lanes are `task` recipes, not cargo tests — see
`task --list` (for example `task lazy:check`, `task lazy:dev-env-fingerprint`).
Prefer the `lazy:test-*` regression recipes when changing a harness script.

## CI

Always-on lanes (every PR):

- `ci.yml`: `check` (`cargo check --workspace --locked` first — a dependency
  edit that leaves `Cargo.lock` stale fails here before anything else — then
  fmt, FileProvider surface contract, clippy, `cargo test`, feature-isolated
  and wire-up tests, then workspace/`k8s-worker`/no-FUSE builds), plus
  `cloudfilter-windows`, `nix`, `fileprovider-staticlib`, `ios-typecheck`,
  `deny` (cargo-deny), and `secret-scan` (gitleaks).
- `nix-ci.yml`: `flake-check`, `build-linux-x86_64`, `build-macos-aarch64`.
- `docs.yml`: `check-links` (lychee), `build-pdf` (tectonic), `deploy` (GitHub
  Pages). The repo's only pre-commit hook is the same lychee check, so a broken
  relative link in a Markdown edit fails locally and in CI.

Path-scoped lanes that also fire on a PR — check `.github/workflows/` rather
than assuming the list above is complete:

- `ci-live-storage.yml`: real-storage lane on `crates/**`, `tests/**`,
  `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`, `docker-compose.yml`, `config/**`. It exists
  because `ci.yml` can stay green while a sync path is broken, so a code PR
  that passes `ci.yml` is not yet proven.
- `linux-package-container-smoke.yml`: on `scripts/install-smoke.sh` and its
  own workflow/test files.

Release: `release.yml` has 9 jobs — `plan`, `build-binaries`, `build-image`,
`nix-build`, `generate-installers`, `build-fileprovider`, `build-pkg`,
`create-release`, `update-homebrew`; it runs on push and
`workflow_dispatch`. `repo-contract.yml` and `runs-on-contract.yml` also run
on push and pull request. The smoke, canary and macOS proof workflows
(`*-smoke.yml` except the path-scoped `linux-package-container-smoke.yml`
above, `storage-*-canary.yml`, `macos-fileprovider-*.yml`) are
`workflow_dispatch`-only.

## Agent Coordination

Ground rules when multiple agents (Claude, Codex, or other) touch this repo
concurrently. Adapted from the GFTB multi-agent orchestration pattern
(`site.scaffold` `docs/patterns/multi-agent-orchestration.md` §3, commit
`36c14ae`) and lab's durable-notes rule (`lab` commit `b48d46f7`, `TIN-2520`).

- **Shared-PR lane claims — the `#534` lesson.** Feature branches live on
  the personal remote (`origin` = `Jesssullivan/tummycrypt`). A branch or PR
  another session owns, including the older `codex/*` reconciliation lanes,
  is a cross-session target: change or merge it only with explicit user
  authorization (R-N11 above), and diff it against the history it reconciles
  first.
- **DO-NOT-TOUCH lists.** When a lane is in flight, its PR body should carry
  a short list of the crates it owns (e.g. "this PR owns `crates/tcfs-sync`
  — coordinate before stacking commits").
- **Single merge authority per PR.** One agent (or the operator) merges.
  Other agents report findings as PR comments — never push fixes onto a
  branch you don't own without an explicit handoff. `#534` was churned by
  two agents stacking unverified hardening commits on an already-reviewed
  clean head; each "fix round" cited a fresh adversarial pass but none
  re-ran a local build/test. Verify before stacking; don't self-certify onto
  someone else's lane.
- **`README.md` and `AGENTS.md` are live roam fixtures.** `docs/ops/current.md`
  tracks deliberate user-content conflicts on these two paths for the TIN-2658
  production resolver gate. Editing them in a PR is fine; do not "resolve" the
  live host-side divergence as a side effect of a docs change.
- **Durable notes over scratchpad.** Session working notes go in dated files
  under `docs/agent-notes/` (`YYYY-MM-DD-<lane>.md`, R-N13); distilled facts
  and rulings go on the owning Linear issue. `docs/ops/` holds runbooks,
  designs and the live status doc, not session notes. Nothing durable is left
  only in `/tmp`, a harness scratchpad or chat context; that default covers
  genuinely transient scratch only.
- **Instruction precedence.** Ratified operator rulings
  (R-HOOK-CONVERGENCE-20261004 and later, above) outrank this file. Below
  them: repo-root `AGENTS.md` (this file) > the root `CLAUDE.md` import
  overlay > named `docs/ops/` facet docs referenced from here or a task >
  machine-level / home-manager defaults.
