# tummycrypt / TCFS

TCFS is the encrypted, remote-first userspace filesystem for the tinyland
fleet. Its product goal is simple: enroll a working tree or selected directory
once, then SSH to another enrolled machine and continue with the same bytes,
including in-progress Git and agent state. Hydration and local unsync should be
ordinary verbs, not a migration project.

> **Status (2026-10-16): the backend is paused** (since 2026-09-29), so
> installed clients have nothing to sync with. The latest release is
> `v0.12.17`. Live state and the path back are in
> [docs/ops/current.md](docs/ops/current.md#status-2026-10-15); what tcfs must
> do, and the gaps between the documented security model and the code, are in
> [docs/SPEC.md](docs/SPEC.md#current-status). Do not use TCFS yet for a
> whole home directory, Git linked worktrees, or live SQLite databases: the
> sync blacklist deliberately refuses the last two. v1 must cover both
> ([SPEC T13, T14](docs/SPEC.md#worktrees-and-live-sqlite-t13-t14)).

## Start here

- [Spec](docs/SPEC.md) — what TCFS is for, its requirements and acceptance,
  and which file is canonical for what.
- [Vision](docs/VISION.md) — the north star and TCFS's place in Cordillera and
  Rockies.
- [Product sequence](docs/PRODUCT.md) — the approved A → B → C strategy and
  proof ladder.
- [Current truth](docs/ops/current.md) — live blockers, proof boundaries, and
  the next operator ceremony.
- [Documentation index](docs/index.md) — engineering, operations, evidence, and
  client references.

## What is proven

- Linux FUSE browse-before-download, hydration on open, write/readback,
  rehydrate, and safe unsync.
- One real Git repository roamed from `neo` to `honey` with branch, index,
  dirty files, untracked files, stashes, and history intact.
- Divergent raw-`.git` edits converged without committed-work loss through the
  automatic keep-both guard. The separate operator resolver remains gated.
- A bounded Claude project subtree roams between `neo` and `honey`.
- A signed macOS FileProvider lifecycle has been proven in the PZM lab lane.

The proof packets are under [`docs/release/evidence/`](docs/release/evidence/).
Claims without a packet or named live canary remain unproven.

## What is not proven

- Root-targeted production conflict resolution for scheduled roam roots.
- Two repositories completing the full bidirectional roam, unsync, rehydrate,
  divergence, restore, and second-cycle convergence loop.
- Automatic linked-worktree reconstruction through the roaming daemon,
  arbitrary agent sessions, or broad home and dot-directory remotification.
- Per-device-only crypto, headless SSH-first enrollment, or a TLS-protected
  production S3 path.
- Rocky 10 RPM/FUSE acceptance, Windows Explorer parity, iOS production use, or
  NFS client parity.

## Develop

```bash
nix develop
~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --workspace
~/.cargo/bin/cargo test --workspace
~/.cargo/bin/cargo fmt --all -- --check
~/.cargo/bin/cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
```

The workspace members are declared in [Cargo.toml](Cargo.toml). The protobuf source of truth is
[`crates/tcfs-core/src/proto/tcfs.proto`](crates/tcfs-core/src/proto/tcfs.proto).
See [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) before changing code or running fleet workflows.

## Install

### Canonical home

The canonical source and release home is
[`Jesssullivan/tummycrypt`](https://github.com/Jesssullivan/tummycrypt).
The Nix release is the least ambiguous current installation surface:

```bash
TAG=v0.12.17
nix profile install \
  "github:Jesssullivan/tummycrypt?ref=${TAG}#tcfsd" \
  "github:Jesssullivan/tummycrypt?ref=${TAG}#tcfs-cli"
```

Other artifacts exist, but their proof tiers differ:

- The Homebrew tap formula is at `0.12.17` (published 2026-07-09); its
  install and symlink behavior has no smoke evidence.
- Fedora 42 daemon-only RPM installation is proven; Rocky 10/FUSE is pending.
- Debian/Ubuntu packages, tarballs, containers, and the macOS package have
  lane-specific evidence and gaps.

Use the [distribution smoke matrix](docs/ops/distribution-smoke-matrix.md)
before promoting an artifact or platform claim.

APFS, FUSE, FileProvider, NFS, and CFAPI are client or platform substrates.
TCFS is the encrypted roaming and hydration layer above them. SSH transports
the live terminal; TCFS transports persistent file state.
