# Drive · Storage · Network — How They Compose
This is the integration document. It exists to answer one question: *given storage, drive, and network as three separate libraries, what does a complete deployment look like and how does a single byte travel through it?*
If you want depth on any one layer, read its folder:
- [`docs/storage/`](./storage/) — backend layer.
- [`docs/drive/`](./drive/) — file layer.
- [`docs/network/`](./network/) — mesh + failover layer.
- [`docs/system-review.md`](./system-review.md) — 16 numbered findings against the design (2 blockers, 9 majors, 5 minors) — read this before implementing.
- [`docs/drive/mesh-protocol.md`](./drive/mesh-protocol.md) — the chunk-request wire protocol (three forms, bitpacker bitsets, response piggyback).
- [`docs/drive/dehydrated-drives.md`](./drive/dehydrated-drives.md) — server-signed templates that pre-configure drives with policy flags + CDN reversed-ID URL fallback + retroactive key grants.
This document is the map.
---
## The three layers, one paragraph
**Storage** is `key → bytes`. It knows nothing else.
**Drive** is `path → file`, with plugins for chunking, signing, encryption, sharing, and mesh sync. It uses storage as its substrate.
**Network** is the resilient tiered mesh that lets every drive talk to every other drive. Drives plug into network via the `drive-mesh` and `drive-transport-*` plugins, communicating only through `NetworkBus` events.
The three layers compose strictly: drive depends on storage and network; network depends on neither; storage depends on neither. There is exactly one bridging type package — `@suaveplan/types` — that holds the cross-cutting interfaces (`StorageLike`, `ChunkSource`, `ChunkRef`, `DrivePlugin`, `MiddlewareHandler`, `HealthStatus`) so no concrete library has to import another concrete library.
---
## The dependency graph (concrete)
```text

▲

┌────────────────────────────────────────┘

@suaveplan/drive ──────► uses storage as substrate

@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks ──► uses crypto, packer, bitpacker
@suaveplan/drive-sharing ──► uses crypto, drive
@suaveplan/drive-mesh ──► uses drive, network (via bus only)
@suaveplan/drive-transport-https ──► uses drive
@suaveplan/drive-transport-webrtc ─► uses drive, network-transport-webrtc (via bus only)
@suaveplan/drive-react-sharing ──► uses drive-sharing
@suaveplan/drive-webrtc ──► pre-packaged: chunks + transport-webrtc + signalling
```
The "via bus only" qualifier is structural: `drive-mesh` doesn't import `network-plugin-content-delivery`. They communicate through bus topics. This is the genesis discipline that broke the circular-deps mess on main.
---
## The file write — end to end
A user clicks "save" on a 50 MiB photo. The drive is configured with `OpfsStorage` locally, `S3` for cold storage, the chunks plugin, the sharing plugin, the mesh plugin, and a WebRTC transport. Every numbered step is a real boundary in the code.
```text
1. App → drive.write("/photos/wedding/IMG_0001.jpg", bytes)
2. Drive middleware chain (request side, in registration order):
2a. logging → record { op:'write', path, size }
2b. chunks → start a TransformStream:
bytes ──┐
├─ chop into 65,408-byte plaintext chunks
│ (chunkSize 65,536 minus 164-byte chunk header+sig)
└─ for each:
nonce = HKDF(fileKey, fileId ‖ chunkId)
cipher = XChaCha20-Poly1305(fileKey, nonce, plaintext, AAD=metadata)
sig = Ed25519-sign(driveSecretKey, metadata ‖ aeadTag)
emit chunk = metadata(100) ‖ sig(64) ‖ ciphertext
2c. sharing → wraps fileKey with the partition KEK; appends wrap blob to manifest
2d. mesh → no-op on write, but listens for the post-write hook
2e. transport-webrtc → no-op on write
3. Storage selection per chunk:
3a. storage.capabilities.partialWrites === true (OPFS) ? → sparse-file layout
3b. storage.setPartial("files/<fileId>", chunkId * chunkSize, chunk)
3c. for cold copy in S3: storage.set("files/<fileId>/<chunkId>", chunk)
(S3 has partialWrites=false; the chunks plugin auto-picks chunk-keys layout for it)
4. Manifest assembly:
4a. manifest = { fileId, totalChunks=800, version=1, entries: [
{ chunkId:0, hash:blake3(chunk0), payloadLen },
... 799 more ...
]}
4b. manifestSig = Ed25519-sign(driveSecretKey, canonicalSerialize(manifest))
4c. storage.set("manifests/<fileId>-v1", encodeManifest(manifest, manifestSig))
5. Drive index update (CAS-versioned):
5a. read DirIndex; insert DirEntry { name:"IMG_0001.jpg", type:"file", fileLocId:"L-..." }
under /photos/wedding/. Increment version.
5b. read FileLocationIndex; insert FileLocation {
fileId, version:1, size:52,428,800, checksum:"blake3:...",
storageHints: [
{ kind:"sparse-file", storageId:"opfs", key:"files/<fileId>", chunkSize:65536 },
{ kind:"chunk-keys", storageId:"s3", manifestKey:"manifests/<fileId>-v1" },
{ kind:"mesh", manifestKey:"manifests/<fileId>-v1" },
]
}
5c. CAS-write both indexes; on conflict, retry with rebased version.
6. Drive middleware chain (response side, reverse order):
6e. transport-webrtc → no-op
6d. mesh → emit `cd:advertise { fileId, chunkBitset }` on NetworkBus
tells peers we now have all 800 chunks of this file
6c. sharing → strip wrap blob from response (already stored)
6b. chunks → return manifest summary
6a. logging → record { op:'write', path, size, durationMs }
7. Network propagation (asynchronous, fire-and-forget):
7a. network-plugin-content-delivery hears `cd:advertise` and updates its gossip index
7b. network-plugin-content-delivery may push `cd:advertise` to siblings on the relay
backbone, depending on QoS class
7c. peer drives subscribed to this drive's advertisements update their own
per-fileId chunk bitsets
→ drive.write resolves. The user's UI updates "saving..." → "saved".
```
Every byte that hit storage, every byte that hit the network, was AEAD-encrypted ciphertext. The plaintext lived only in step 2b's TransformStream and never on disk or wire.
---
## The file read — end to end (with one chunk missing locally)
A second user (Bob's drive) wants to read the photo. Bob has the file's location entry but is missing chunks 200–250 locally (e.g., he just synced this drive partially).
```text
1. App → drive.read("/photos/wedding/IMG_0001.jpg")
2. Drive index resolve:
2a. walk DirIndex from root → DirEntry { fileLocId:"L-..." }
2b. lookup FileLocation by fileLocId → 800 chunks, manifest in OPFS, mesh-known
3. Drive middleware (request side):
3a. logging → start span { op:'read' }
3b. chunks → load manifest, parse 800 entries
3c. sharing → unwrap fileKey via partition KEK in our KeyRing
3d. mesh → for each chunkId in 0..799, check if available locally
result: 0..199 ✓, 200..250 ✗, 251..799 ✓
3e. transport-webrtc → ensure peer connections to known content holders are live
4. Per-chunk fetch loop:
For chunkIds 0..199 and 251..799:
- storage.getPartial("files/<fileId>", chunkId * chunkSize, +chunkSize)
returns the 65,536-byte chunk (header + sig + ciphertext)
For chunkIds 200..250 (missing locally):
- drive-mesh emits `cd:request { fileId, chunkId, requesterId }` per chunk
- network-plugin-content-delivery picks top-N candidate peers from gossip index
- races them via networkNode.send() → drive-transport-webrtc on each peer
- peer receives `cd:fetch`, runs their drive's storage.getPartial(...),
sends back `cd:response { fileId, chunkId, bytes }`
- first verifying response wins; lagging responses dropped
- emits `cd:response` on requester's bus
- drive-mesh takes the bytes, hands to chunks plugin
5. Per-chunk verify+decrypt (chunks plugin):
5a. parse 164-byte header → metadata, sig, AAD
5b. Ed25519-verify(driveId.pubkey, sig, metadata ‖ aeadTag)
→ if fail: drop chunk, blacklist source peer (set score to -Infinity), retry
5c. XChaCha20-Poly1305-decrypt(fileKey, nonce, ciphertext, AAD=metadata)
→ if AEAD tag fails: drop chunk, retry from a different source
6. Reassemble:
6a. concat all 800 plaintext chunks in chunkId order
6b. blake3(concatenated) === manifest.checksum ?
→ if not: hard error, manifest is wrong or chunks are corrupted
7. Drive middleware (response side):
7e. transport-webrtc → no-op
7d. mesh → emit `cd:advertise` (we now have chunks 200..250)
peers learn we are a new source
7c. sharing → no-op on read
7b. chunks → return Uint8Array(52,428,800)
7a. logging → record { op:'read', durationMs, peerFetches:51 }
→ drive.read resolves with the full photo. Bob's drive is now a holder for chunks
200..250; the next time another peer needs them, they may fetch from Bob.
```
The user gets the photo. Three peers cooperated to deliver it. Nobody had the whole file from the source; each peer served the chunks they had cached.
---
## What happens when the central server vanishes mid-stream
A real scenario: 3 minutes into Bob's read, the central server drops off. Result:
- Storage layer: untouched. Bob's local `OpfsStorage` reads and the WebRTC chunk fetches don't go through the server anyway.
- Drive layer: untouched. Every operation continues — every chunk verify uses the writer's per-peer Ed25519 pubkey, which is in Bob's local registry.
- Network layer:
- `network-plugin-server-bridge` fires `server:disconnected` on the bus.
- `network-plugin-failover` keeps running heartbeats among peers; mesh continues.
- `network-plugin-governance` won't trigger a server-replacement election in `SERVER_BASED` mode (mesh stops); in `SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER` mode it elects an acting Tier 0 from Tier 1 within seconds.
- Bob's read completes normally — the chunks are coming from peer drives, not the server.
- Any *new* file Bob writes is written locally (signed by Bob's drive identity), advertised to the mesh, and queued in `network-plugin-server-bridge`'s buffer for replay when the server returns.
- Token grace periods extend; Bob's `CapabilityToken` doesn't expire mid-outage.
- On server reconnect: buffered audit-log entries replay, the acting Tier 0 demotes, the mesh reconciles. Bob's new file becomes server-known.
This is the "if the server goes down, it's all in place with meshed pockets of users with their nominated hosts" part of the user's brief. It works because:
1. Every byte is signed by its writer; no server is needed to verify.
2. Every chunk is content-addressed; no server is needed to discover them.
3. Topology, election, partition handling, and circuit breaking are all peer-side.
4. The server is a coordinator and an authority for *new-resource issuance*, not a relay for the data plane.
---
## How n drives find each other
A drive's identity is its Ed25519 public key — its `driveId`. Two drives find each other through one of three routes:
1. **Direct address** — you give one drive the address of another (hostname/port/peer-id). They handshake and join.
2. **Discovery plugin** — `network-discovery-trystero` (or libp2p / GunDB / WebTorrent / hybrid) gives each drive a way to find peers without knowing them in advance. The plugin emits `peer:discovered`; `network-plugin-registry` records them; `drive-mesh` starts gossiping.
3. **Server-mediated** — a deployment with a central server can have the server return peer lists on join. This is the cheap default for `SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER` mode.
Once two drives know about each other, they handshake (Ed25519 challenge-response, NET-30), exchange capability bitmaps, register each other in `network-plugin-registry`, and begin announcing chunk inventories on the bus.
---
## What lives where — quick reference
| Question | Layer |
| --- | --- |
| What bytes are at this key? | Storage |
| What backend is this storage? | Storage |
| Can this backend do partial writes? | Storage (`capabilities`) |
| What's in /photos/2026/? | Drive (DirIndex walk) |
| Where are the chunks of file X? | Drive (FileLocation `storageHints`) |
| Encrypt/sign these bytes | Drive (chunks plugin) |
| Verify a peer's signature on a chunk | Drive (chunks plugin), peer pubkey from network registry |
| Who can read this file? | Drive (sharing plugin partition) |
| Who's online right now? | Network (registry plugin) |
| Where can I get chunk Y? | Drive (mesh plugin requests; network content-delivery responds) |
| Is the server up? | Network (server-bridge plugin) |
| Who's the host of this mesh? | Network (governance + topology plugins) |
| Has there been a partition? | Network (partition plugin) |
| Can mesh A talk to mesh B? | Network (auth plugin trust validator + relay plugin) |
---
## The migration timeline (executive summary)
The genesis branch is mid-port from `main`. The shipped/pending split (full detail in each layer's `implementation-status.md`):
| Layer | Shipped on genesis | Most-pressing pending |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Storage | `storage`, `storage-s3` | `storage-browser-opfs`, `storage-browser`, `storage-file` (port from main) |
| Drive | `drive`, `drive-plugin-chunks` | `drive-mesh`, `drive-transport-https`, `drive-transport-webrtc` (write fresh on genesis); `drive-sharing`, `drive-react-sharing`, `drive-webrtc` (port from main) |
| Network | `network` (core), `network-plugin-protocol`, `network-plugin-registry`, `network-transport-webrtc`, `network-failover`, `network-governance`, `network-topology`, `network-transport-websockets`, `network-testing` | 14 of the 21 `network-plugin-*` packages (write fresh on genesis); discovery + libp2p + hyperswarm transports (port from main) |
The blocking spec change is `enterprise-types-cross-cutting` — it adds the canonical interfaces (`ChunkSource`, `ChunkRef`, `DrivePlugin`, `MiddlewareHandler`) to `@suaveplan/types`. Already implemented; awaits archive. Until it's archived, downstream packages keep redeclaring local copies of these types, which is the cause of the "every AI has its own ideas" feeling. **Land it first.**
The blocking architectural decision is `enterprise-drive` (monolith) vs `drive-port` (split). The migrated code follows `drive-port`; archive `enterprise-drive` and re-propose its CoW + snapshot ideas as their own plugins.
Both decisions are zero-code: open the change folders, write archive notes, fold the deltas into the canonical specs. Once that's done, every downstream package gets unblocked.
---
## Checklists for common deployments
### Single-server file storage (e.g., a SaaS backend)
```ts
const drive = new Drive(new S3({ ... }))
.usePlugin(chunksPlugin({ chunkSize: 65536, signing: { secretKey } }))
.usePlugin(sharingPlugin({ ... }));
```
No network plugin. Storage is one S3 bucket. Encrypted-at-rest, signed by the server's drive identity. Used as the persistent layer for an API server or the receiving end of a `drive-transport-https` upload.
### Browser drive with offline-first, cloud sync
```ts
const drive = new Drive()
.use("local", new OpfsStorage())
.use("remote", new S3({ ... }))
.usePlugin(chunksPlugin({ ... }))
.usePlugin(sharingPlugin({ ... }))
.usePlugin(meshPlugin({ networkNode }))
.usePlugin(transportWebrtcPlugin({ signaller }))
.usePlugin(transportHttpsPlugin({ baseUrl: "https://api.example.com" }));
const networkNode = new NetworkNode()
.use(protocolPlugin())
.use(registryPlugin())
.use(webrtcPlugin({ ... }))
.use(governancePlugin())
.use(topologyPlugin())
.use(serverBridgePlugin({ url: "wss://api.example.com/mesh", model: "SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER" }))
.use(authPlugin())
.use(cryptoMessagesPlugin());
```
Browser drive that works offline, syncs to peers when online, falls back to S3 via HTTPS, and survives server outages.
### Pure-peer mesh (no server)
```ts
const networkNode = new NetworkNode()
.use(protocolPlugin())
.use(registryPlugin())
.use(webrtcPlugin({ ... }))
.use(discoveryTrysteroPlugin({ ... })) // peer discovery
.use(governancePlugin()) // peer-elects host
.use(topologyPlugin())
.use(authPlugin({ mode: 'PURE_CLIENT' })) // no server tokens
.use(cryptoMessagesPlugin());
const drive = new Drive(new OpfsStorage())
.usePlugin(chunksPlugin({ ... }))
.usePlugin(meshPlugin({ networkNode }))
.usePlugin(transportWebrtcPlugin({ ... }));
```
Two phones in the same room. Trystero-discovery finds each other (BitTorrent / Nostr / MQTT). Governance elects a host. Drives share files end-to-end-encrypted. No server anywhere.
### Cross-mesh corporate federation
Add `relayPlugin()` and `crossMeshTrustValidator()` to each mesh's `NetworkNode`, exchange `MeshTrustToken`s out of band, and the `HostBackboneTransport` between Tier 0 hosts of each mesh lets envelopes cross. A user in mesh A can read a file from a drive in mesh B; the chunks travel across the relay backbone, unwrapped only by the authorised peers.
---
## What this design buys you
| Need | Mechanism |
| --- | --- |
| Storage anywhere (memory / fs / db / browser / S3 / FAT image) | Storage backend plugins; capability matrix routes around limitations. |
| Encrypt / sign / decrypt / verify on the fly | Drive chunks plugin: streaming AEAD + Ed25519 + BLAKE3. |
| Files navigable by path | Drive directory and file-location indexes (bitpacker-encoded). |
| Files shareable between drives, with revocation | Drive sharing plugin: partition KEKs, X25519 sealed-box wrapping. |
| n drives that find each other | Discovery plugins + registry plugin. |
| Peer-to-peer chunk transfer | drive-mesh + network-plugin-content-delivery + drive-transport-{webrtc,https}. |
| Resilient tiered network | Tier 0/1/2 topology + governance + failover + relay. |
| Server-down survival | server-bridge offline mode; signed-log buffering; replay on reconnect. |
| Cross-mesh interop | Relay plugin + auth plugin trust validators. |
| Verifiable audit trail | Audit-mesh signed log chains + replication + compaction. |
| Multi-tenant isolation | NamespacedStorage + sharing partitions + per-file fileKey. |
| End-to-end encryption with peer relay | Peers serve ciphertext bytes they cannot themselves read. |
| Test-driven development | testing-integration fixtures, MemoryTransport, FakeClock, no shared state. |
This is what "enterprise-quality" looks like in this design: every concern owned by exactly one plugin, every cross-plugin link mediated by a typed event, every byte ciphertext-signed-on-disk-and-on-wire, every operation backed by a canonical OpenSpec capability requirement.
---
## How to keep the water clear
The user's complaint was: *"I feel because of how complex it is, and multiple AI having their own ideas, it's muddied the water."* Three rules that prevent that going forward:
1. **Specs are canonical, proposals are drafts.** [`openspec/specs/{drive,storage,network}/spec.md`](../openspec/specs/) are the source of truth. Anything in `openspec/changes/` is a proposal in flight; if two proposals conflict, archive one before any code lands. The `enterprise-drive` vs `drive-port` conflict is the cardinal example: archive `enterprise-drive`, keep `drive-port`, re-propose its unique deltas separately.
2. **Cross-cutting types live in one place.** `enterprise-types-cross-cutting` was implemented but not archived; until it lands in `openspec/specs/types/spec.md`, every plugin keeps redeclaring local copies. Land it.
3. **No plugin imports another plugin.** Cross-plugin communication is `NetworkBus` (network) or `drive:hook` (drive) topics only. `drive-network-integration`'s 5-line responsibility table is the rulebook; treat it as the authoritative interpretation of "who owns what."
Every time a future AI suggests adding a cross-plugin import, point them at the bus. Every time a future AI proposes a fat package, point them at the split. Every time a future AI invents new types in a leaf package, point them at `@suaveplan/types`.
That keeps the water clear.

# Drive
The **drive** layer is the file-level abstraction that sits on top of [storage](../storage/README.md). It turns "key→bytes" into "path→file" and adds the things real users expect from a drive: directories, stat, streams, plugins for chunking/encryption/integrity, partition-based sharing, and peer-to-peer transfer.
The genesis design is **n drives**, each parameterised by:
- one or more `AbstractStorage` backends (its substrate),
- a plugin chain (chunks, sharing, mesh, transports, custom middleware),
- an optional network identity (so the drive can both serve and consume chunks across the mesh).
Drives can talk to each other. A drive on a phone, a drive on a laptop, and a drive on a server can all hold the same logical file, agree on the same manifest, and serve chunks to whichever drive needs them — encrypted end-to-end, signed by the original writer, verified on every read.
## Documents in this folder
| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| [`architecture.md`](./architecture.md) | The `Drive` class, the `DriveStorage` view, plugin lifecycle, capability fallbacks, and the genesis decision to keep drive a thin VFS core with everything else as plugins. |
| [`index-and-paths.md`](./index-and-paths.md) | The directory metadata index and the file→location index — the two indexes that turn opaque storage keys into a navigable filesystem. Why nested directories are stored as packed metadata objects, and how a path resolves to a chunk manifest. Includes the on-disk-shape comparison across backends. |
| [`plugins.md`](./plugins.md) | The plugin chain (`drive-plugin-chunks`, `drive-sharing`, `drive-mesh`, `drive-transport-https`, `drive-transport-webrtc`, custom). Hook ordering, middleware semantics, and what each plugin's responsibility actually is. |
| [`encryption.md`](./encryption.md) | On-the-fly encrypt/sign/decrypt/verify. The chunked AEAD pipeline, the manifest signature, and where keys come from. Why storage never sees plaintext. |
| [`mesh-and-sharing.md`](./mesh-and-sharing.md) | How drives find each other, share files, and replicate chunks. The boundary between `drive-mesh` (per-file scheduling) and `network-plugin-content-delivery` (mesh-wide redundancy). |
| [`mesh-protocol.md`](./mesh-protocol.md) | The wire-protocol spec for chunk requests, advertisements, and responses. Three request forms (whole / specific / bitset), bitpacker-compressed presence bitsets, response piggyback, trust model. |
| [`dehydrated-drives.md`](./dehydrated-drives.md) | Server-signed `DriveTemplate` — pre-configured folder structure with bytes arriving later from peers and CDN.

Each finding cross-references the doc that resolves it.
## One-paragraph summary
`Drive` is a generic class parameterised by a storage map. It exposes `read`, `write`, `delete`, `stat`, `list`, `createReadStream`, `createWriteStream`, plus `usePlugin(plugin)` and `useMiddleware(mw)`. It owns its lifecycle (`initialize`, `dispose`) and tracks which storages it connected itself, so calling `dispose()` only closes what `Drive` opened. All file-level intelligence — splitting a file into chunks, signing them, encrypting them, finding them on peers, reassembling them — lives in plugins. The core knows nothing about chunks, signatures, or peers; it only knows how to walk a middleware chain on its way to and from `AbstractStorage`. This is what lets the same `Drive` class run on a server (with `S3` and `network-plugin-webrtc`), in a browser (with `OpfsStorage` and `drive-transport-webrtc`), or on disk (with `FileStorage` and no network at all).
## How n drives work
A drive is identified by a stable id (the public key it signs with, plus an instance discriminator). Two drives that share the same root partition (same partition key) are mirrors of each other; two drives that hold different partitions are siblings on the mesh. Every drive in a deployment can:
1. **Hold local data** — bytes live in its `AbstractStorage` backends.
2. **Serve to peers** — exposes its chunk inventory through `network-plugin-content-delivery`.
3. **Consume from peers** — when a chunk is missing locally, `drive-mesh` resolves it from the mesh.
4. **Reconcile** — the manifest is authoritative; conflicts in chunk content are detected by signature and discarded.
There is **no central drive**. There is sometimes a central server (which is just another drive with elevated authority — see [`../network/topology-and-failover.md`](../network/topology-and-failover.md)), but the whole stack works without it.
## Reading order

2. [`index-and-paths.md`](./index-and-paths.md) — how paths become bytes.

# Drive Architecture
Canonical capability spec: [`openspec/specs/drive/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/drive/spec.md) (`DRIVE-01`..`DRIVE-09`).
## The shape genesis chose
Two competing drive designs exist in the OpenSpec change folder:
| Design | Folder | Stance |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Monolith** | `enterprise-drive` | Drive is a fat package — chunks, CoW, dedup, snapshots, encryption, transforms, plugins all inside. |
| **Split** | `drive-port` *(genesis-canonical)* | Drive is a thin VFS core. Chunks, mesh, transports, sharing live in sibling packages. |
The genesis branch follows the **split**. The reason is mechanical: the canonical `openspec/specs/drive/spec.md` is the split-design spec (`DRIVE-01..09`), the migrated `@suaveplan/drive` package on genesis already implements the thin core, and the chunks layer is its own migrated package (`@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks`). The `enterprise-drive` proposal should be archived and the few unique requirements it carries (CoW, snapshots) re-proposed as their own plugin packages.
## The core class
```ts
class Drive<TStorageMap extends Record<string, DriveStorage> = {}> {
constructor();
constructor(defaultStorage: DriveStorage, options?: DriveOptions);
constructor(options: DriveOptions & { defaultStorage?: DriveStorage; plugins?: DrivePlugin[] });
use<K extends string, S extends DriveStorage>(id: K, storage: S): Drive<TStorageMap & Record<K, S>>;
usePlugin(plugin: DrivePlugin): this;
useMiddleware(mw: MiddlewareHandler): this;
initialize(): Promise<void>;
dispose(): Promise<void>;
read(path: string, opts?: ReadOptions): Promise<Uint8Array>;
write(path: string, bytes: Uint8Array, opts?: WriteOptions): Promise<void>;
delete(path: string): Promise<boolean>;
stat(path: string): Promise<DriveStats>;
list(prefix: string, opts?: ListOptions): Promise<DriveEntry[]>;
createReadStream(path: string): ReadableStream<Uint8Array>;
createWriteStream(path: string): WritableStream<Uint8Array>;
getStorage<K extends keyof TStorageMap>(id: K): TStorageMap[K];
}
```
Five things are worth understanding.
### 1. `DriveStorage` is the narrowed view of `AbstractStorage` (DRIVE-01)
```ts
interface DriveStorage extends AbstractStorage {
readonly id: string;
onDriveAttached?(drive: Drive): Promise<void>;
onDriveDetached?(drive: Drive): Promise<void>;
}
```
There is no separate `StorageAdapter` shim. The drive consumes any `AbstractStorage` directly; it just needs an `id` so the drive can address it inside a multi-storage map and (optionally) lifecycle hooks. This is the line that breaks the temptation to wrap storage in another interface.
### 2. Lifecycle is ownership-tracking (DRIVE-02, DRIVE-03)
```text
initialize() → for each storage, call connect() iff !isConnected(); record in connectedByMe: WeakSet
dispose() → for each storage in connectedByMe, call close()
→ leave pre-connected storages alone
```
A drive that didn't open the connection doesn't close it. This matters for shared backends (e.g., a server with one S3 client serving many drives): the first drive opens it, the others reuse it, and the *last* drive to be disposed is the one that actually closes the connection (or none of them, if the client owns the lifetime).
### 3. Operations after `dispose()` throw (DRIVE-04)
`read`, `write`, `delete`, `stat`, `list`, `createReadStream`, `createWriteStream` all throw `DriveError(DRIVE.DISPOSED)` after `dispose()`, and `DriveError(DRIVE.NOT_INITIALIZED)` before `initialize()`. The drive is a state machine: `pending → initialized → disposed`, and the storage layer below it is left in a known state.
### 4. Plugin middleware order is well-defined (DRIVE-06)
```text
drive.usePlugin(A);
drive.usePlugin(B);
drive.useMiddleware(M);
```
Outbound (request path): `A → B → M → core operation`.
Inbound (response path): `core operation → M → B → A`.
`plugin.dispose()` is called in **reverse** registration order, so the most-recently-installed plugin gets to clean up first. Plugin install/dispose throws are wrapped in `DriveError(DRIVE.PLUGIN_FAILED, { cause })` so consumers see one error type at the boundary.
### 5. Capability fallbacks remove runtime probing (DRIVE-07)
```text
createReadStream(path):
if storage.capabilities.nativeStreams === true:
return storage.createReadStream(...)
else:
return AbstractStorage.defaultCreateReadStream(...) // chunked read of get()
```
Same rule for `createWriteStream`. The drive never inspects the backend at runtime to decide whether to stream — it reads `capabilities` once and routes accordingly. This is why the storage layer's capability matrix is load-bearing.
## Plugin and middleware contracts
Both contracts live in `@suaveplan/types` (the cross-cutting types package) so plugins and middleware never import drive directly:
```ts
interface DrivePlugin {
readonly name: string;
readonly hooks: Record<string, PluginHook>; // e.g. { 'drive:read': fn, 'drive:write': fn }
readonly priority?: number;
}
type PluginHook = (context: unknown, next: NextFunction) => Promise<unknown>;
type NextFunction = () => Promise<void>;
interface MiddlewareHandler {
(context: MiddlewareContext, next: NextFunction): Promise<void>;
}
interface MiddlewareContext {
operation: string; // 'read' | 'write' | 'delete' | 'stat' | 'list'
path: string;
[key: string]: unknown; // open index — drive attaches { drive, args, ... }
}
```
The `[key: string]: unknown` index signature is deliberate: it lets `Drive` attach domain-specific fields to the context (`{ drive: this, args: [path, bytes] }`) without forcing `@suaveplan/types` to import `Drive`. That is the wire that breaks the otherwise-circular dependency.
## Generic storage typing (DRIVE-08)
```ts
const drive = new Drive()
.use("local", new MemoryStorage())
.use("remote", new S3({ ... }));
drive.getStorage("local"); // typed as MemoryStorage
drive.getStorage("remote"); // typed as S3
drive.getStorage("nope"); // TS error
```
`Drive<TStorageMap>` narrows on each `use<K, S>(id, storage)` call so `getStorage(id)` returns the exact backend type, not a widened `DriveStorage`. Plugins that need to call backend-specific APIs (e.g., the chunks plugin asking S3 for a presigned URL) get type-safe access without casts.
## Constructor overloads (DRIVE-09)
```ts
new Drive() // no default storage; must add via .use()
new Drive(memoryStorage) // registers as id "default"
new Drive(memoryStorage, { plugins: [chunks] }) // default + options
new Drive({ defaultStorage: memoryStorage, plugins: [chunks] }) // bag-of-options form
```
The bare-storage form is a thin sugar over `{ defaultStorage }` — registers the storage under id `"default"`. Every other form is just option assembly.
## Why this shape
The narrow core is what makes "n drives" work. Every feature you might want — chunking, encryption, sharing, mesh sync, CoW snapshots, dedup — is a plugin. A drive that doesn't need the network skips the network plugins. A drive in a browser without OPFS uses `IndexedDbStorage` and the chunks plugin's `chunk-keys` layout. A drive on a server with petabytes of S3 uses the `sparse-file` layout and skips drive-mesh because there's only one replica anyway. None of those configurations require code changes in `Drive` itself.
## Reading further

- [`plugins.md`](./plugins.md) — what each plugin contributes.

# Dehydrated Drives — Templates, Policies, and CDN Fallback
A **dehydrated drive** is a drive whose folder structure and file metadata are pre-configured by a server-signed template, while the actual file bytes arrive later from peers, the CDN, or local writes. The user sees the full directory tree on day one — files have correct names, sizes, and lock states — and chunks populate transparently as they're requested.
This is the answer to "ship a 2 GB game asset bundle to N players" and "subscribe a user to a curated drive without copying everything up front." It is the resolution of [`system-review.md`](../system-review.md) §3, §4, §5, §8, §9, §12, §13, §16. The spec belongs in `openspec/specs/drive-template/spec.md` once the proposal lands.
---
## 1. The lifecycle
```text
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Server │
│ - Curates the drive: which files, which folders, which chunks │
│ - Computes hashes, sizes, chunk counts │
│ - Signs DriveTemplate with server Ed25519 key │
│ - Publishes template (via API, share link, or peer broadcast) │
└──────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘
│ signed DriveTemplate (~10-100 KB)
▼
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Client │
│ drive.hydrateFrom(template) │
│ ├─ verify server signature │
│ ├─ instantiate DirIndex from FolderTemplate tree │
│ ├─ instantiate FileLocationIndex from FileTemplate stubs │
│ │ (every entry's `storageHints` starts with kind:'mesh' and │
│ │ optionally kind:'cdn') │
│ ├─ unwrap inline keys → KeyRing (lock icon flips per file) │
│ ├─ for each file with policy.autoDownload === true: │
│ │ schedule a fetch via mesh-protocol (see mesh-protocol.md) │
│ │ on miss, fall through to CDN │
│ └─ emit `drive:hydrated` event │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
After hydration, the drive looks identical to one that was populated by writes. The user calls `read("/photo.jpg")` the same way; the read pipeline transparently fetches missing chunks. The dehydrated state is invisible at the API surface — only the `presence` field on DirEntries hints that bytes haven't arrived.
---
## 2. The `DriveTemplate` shape
```ts
interface DriveTemplate {
schemaVersion: 1; // pinned; future versions are new packages
driveId: string; // unique drive identity (32-byte hex)
rootFolder: FolderTemplate;
cdnFallback?: CdnFallbackConfig;
policy: GlobalPolicy;
issuer: string; // server pubkey (Ed25519, 32-byte hex)
issuedAt: number; // unix ms
expiresAt: number; // unix ms
nonce: Uint8Array; // 16 bytes; replay protection
serverSignature: Uint8Array; // Ed25519 over canonicalSerialize(this without sig)
}
interface FolderTemplate {
name: string; // single path component
children: (FolderTemplate | FileTemplate)[];
// depth is capped at 32 (validated by DriveTemplateSchema)
}
interface FileTemplate {
name: string;
fileLocId: string; // primary key into FileLocationIndex
fileId: string; // 32-byte hex; stable across versions
size: number; // plaintext bytes
totalChunks: number;
chunkSize: number;
checksum: string; // 'blake3:<hex>' over plaintext
flags: PerFilePolicy;
encryption?: FileEncryption;
manifestKey: string; // where the chunk manifest lives
manifestSig: Uint8Array; // detached Ed25519 sig over the manifest's content
}
interface PerFilePolicy {
autoDownload: boolean; // eagerly fetch on hydrate?
meshAllowed: boolean; // may we cd:request from peers?
cdnAllowed: boolean; // may we hit the CDN?
retention?: RetentionPolicy;
}
type RetentionPolicy =
| 'permanent' // never evict
| 'lru' // global byte-budget LRU
| { maxAgeMs: number }; // chunks older than N ms eligible for eviction
interface FileEncryption {
algorithm: 'xchacha20-poly1305';
keyDistribution:
| { kind: 'inline'; wrappedKey: Uint8Array } // shipped in template, see §7
| { kind: 'retroactive'; keyAuthority: string }; // peer pubkey will issue grant later
}
interface GlobalPolicy {
defaultPolicy: PerFilePolicy; // applied to files whose `flags` is partial
maxLocalCacheBytes?: number; // global LRU budget (excludes 'permanent' files)
maxConcurrentFetches?: number; // backpressure on hydrate
trustedKeyAuthorities?: string[]; // pubkeys whose key:grant we accept
}
interface CdnFallbackConfig {
baseUrl: string; // e.g. 'https://chunks.example.com'
pathScheme: 'reverse-id'; // see §4 for the URL convention
levels: number; // directory depth (typically 3)
padding: number; // chunk ID zero-pad width (typically 9)
uploadEndpoint?: string; // for write-back of newly-fetched chunks
}
```
---
## 3. Signature, replay protection, and validation
### Canonical serialization
The server computes the signature over a deterministic byte representation:
```text
canonicalSerialize(template) =
schemaVersion(varint) ‖
driveId(32) ‖
rootFolder(canonical-folder) ‖
cdnFallback(canonical-cdn-or-empty) ‖
policy(canonical-policy) ‖
issuer(32) ‖
issuedAt(8) ‖
expiresAt(8) ‖
nonce(16)
```
Encoded via `@suaveplan/bitpacker-schema` with deterministic field order. JSON is **not** used — it doesn't have a canonical form across implementations.
### Validation order
`drive.hydrateFrom(template)` validates in this exact order; any failure aborts before instantiating anything:
1. `schemaVersion === 1` (else `DRIVE.TEMPLATE_VERSION_UNSUPPORTED`).
2. `Date.now() < expiresAt` (else `DRIVE.TEMPLATE_EXPIRED`).
3. `Date.now() - issuedAt < 24*60*60*1000` (24-hour issuance window — `DRIVE.TEMPLATE_STALE`).
4. `nonce` not seen in last 1024 templates (LRU cache; `DRIVE.TEMPLATE_REPLAY`).
5. `issuer` ∈ `globalPolicy.trustedKeyAuthorities` (or matches drive-creation key — `DRIVE.TEMPLATE_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER`).
6. Ed25519 verify `serverSignature` over `canonicalSerialize(template - sig)` (`DRIVE.TEMPLATE_SIG_INVALID`).
7. Recursive folder depth ≤ 32 (`DRIVE.TEMPLATE_TOO_DEEP`).
8. Per-file: `chunkSize > 164` (header overhead), `totalChunks * chunkSize >= size`, `manifestKey` non-empty (`DRIVE.TEMPLATE_MALFORMED`).
Only after all eight pass does hydration begin.
### Why nonce + issuedAt
A captured template, even one within its `expiresAt`, cannot be replayed against the same drive because the nonce is recorded. A client moving between devices must request a fresh template; this is by design — it gives the server a chance to update policy.
---
## 4. CDN fallback URL convention
When `policy.cdnAllowed === true` and a chunk is not available from the mesh, the chunks plugin falls back to HTTPS via `drive-transport-https`. The URL convention is **reversed-ID** with configurable depth and padding:
```text
<baseUrl>/<reversed[0]>/<reversed[1]>/...<reversed[levels-1]>/<fileId>_<chunkIdPadded>.chunk
```
### Worked example
```text
fileId = "abcdef1234567890fedcba0987654321abcdef1234567890fedcba0987654321"
reversed = "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890fedcba0987654321fedcba"
levels = 3
padding = 9
chunkId = 47
URL = https://chunks.example.com/1/2/3/<full-fileId>_000000047.chunk
```
### Why reversed
File IDs in practice cluster by prefix:
- Sequential issuance (`f-000001`, `f-000002`, ...) makes prefix-based hashing put millions of files in the same directory.
- Timestamp-prefixed IDs (`1729a4f72c3b...` from a sortable UUID) cluster by issuance time.
- Hash prefixes are uniform but humans tend to name files in consistent ways (creation tools embed magic bytes, etc.).
Reversing distributes leaves randomly across the directory tree regardless of how IDs were generated. The first three reversed characters give 16³ = 4,096 leaf directories — enough to keep any single directory under 250 entries even at 1 M files.
### Configuration trade-offs
| `levels` | Leaf dirs | Chunks/dir at 1M files | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 256 | 3,906 | <100 K files; minimize HTTP path length |
| 3 | 4,096 | 244 | **default — good balance** |
| 4 | 65,536 | 15 | >10 M files; inode budget allows |
Padding (9 digits) supports up to 999,999,999 chunks per file (~64 PB at 64 KiB chunks). Not the bottleneck.
### Read protocol
```text
GET https://chunks.example.com/1/2/3/<fileId>_000000047.chunk
Range: bytes=0- (optional — supports partial chunk fetch)
Accept: application/octet-stream
```
Response body is the locked v0x0001 chunk format (`metadata(100) ‖ sig(64) ‖ ciphertext`). Same bytes the mesh would have returned. The drive's `chunks` plugin verifies the Ed25519 sig and AEAD tag identically — the CDN never sees plaintext.
### CDN as cache vs CDN as authority
The CDN is treated as a **cache, not an authority**. If a chunk's CDN copy fails signature verification, the drive:
1. Discards the bytes.
2. Falls back to the mesh.
3. Optionally reports the corruption to a configured endpoint.
This means a compromised CDN cannot poison a drive — it can only deny service.
---
## 5. CDN write-back
`CdnFallbackConfig.uploadEndpoint` (optional) lets a drive contribute newly-fetched chunks back to the CDN. This is the path that lets a small group of users seed a dehydrated drive without needing every chunk on the CDN at issuance time.
```text
POST <baseUrl>/upload
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Authorization: Bearer <CdnUploadToken>
Body: <chunk bytes — same locked v0x0001 format>
```
```ts
interface CdnUploadToken {
fileId: string;
chunkId: number;
chunkHash: string; // BLAKE3 of the chunk bytes (the CDN will verify)
uploaderPubkey: string;
expiresAt: number; // 60-second expiry by default
serverSignature: Uint8Array; // Ed25519 by the drive's issuing server
}
```
The CDN:
1. Validates the token signature against the drive's known issuer key.
2. Hashes the body, compares to `chunkHash` — reject on mismatch.
3. Writes to the reversed-ID URL.
A CDN that doesn't validate signatures can decline writes (read-only mode); the drive falls back to peer-only seeding for that file.
### Why server-issued tokens
Direct PUT (no token) lets anyone poison the CDN. CORS won't help — attackers bypass it. The token couples the upload to a server-attested intent and a specific `(fileId, chunkId, chunkHash)`, and expires fast enough that a stolen token isn't useful.
---
## 6. Per-file policies in detail
### `autoDownload`
- `true` → on `hydrateFrom()`, schedule a fetch for all chunks not present locally. Honors `maxConcurrentFetches`.
- `false` → wait until first `read()`. The read triggers the same fetch path; the user pays the latency on first access.
UX: a drive showing a directory listing renders progress for `autoDownload=true` files even if the user hasn't opened them yet.
### `meshAllowed`
- `true` → `drive-mesh` may emit `cd:request` for this file's chunks.
- `false` → mesh layer skipped entirely; only local + CDN paths attempted.
Use `meshAllowed=false` for confidential files where peers shouldn't even *know* the file exists. The drive's gossip stops at hydration; a peer scraping the network bus never sees a request for this file.
### `cdnAllowed`
- `true` → `drive-transport-https` may fetch from the CDN.
- `false` → CDN path skipped. Use for files restricted to peer-only distribution (e.g., user-shared content that the CDN doesn't host).
### `retention`
The cache eviction policy. See [`../system-review.md`](../system-review.md) §9.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `'permanent'` | Never evict. The drive's job is to keep these chunks forever. |
| `'lru'` | Eligible for global LRU eviction. When `maxLocalCacheBytes` is exceeded, evict oldest-touched chunks (NOT whole files) until under budget. The file remains visible with reduced `chunksPresent`; re-fetches on next read. |
| `{ maxAgeMs }` | Chunks older than N ms eligible for eviction at the next GC pass. Useful for ephemeral content (tournaments, event streams). |
Eviction is at chunk granularity, never file granularity. The DirEntry, FileLocation, and manifest stay; only the bytes go. This means a "dehydrated" file gracefully transitions back to "needs-fetch" without index churn.
### Defaults via `GlobalPolicy.defaultPolicy`
A `FileTemplate.flags` may omit any field; the missing fields fill from `defaultPolicy`. This keeps the template compact for drives where every file shares the same policy.
---
## 7. Encryption keys — inline vs retroactive
### Inline (key shipped in template)
```ts
encryption: {
algorithm: 'xchacha20-poly1305',
keyDistribution: {
kind: 'inline',
wrappedKey: Uint8Array, // wrapped to recipient's X25519 pubkey via crypto_box_seal
},
}
```
On `hydrateFrom()`, the drive unwraps `wrappedKey` with the recipient's secret key (held in `@suaveplan/crypto-vault`). On success, the unwrapped `fileKey` lands in the drive's KeyRing under `fileId`. The lock icon flips from 🔒 to 🔓 immediately.
This is the simple case: drive operator decides at template-issuance time who gets the key, and the recipient has it from day one.
### Retroactive (key arrives later)
```ts
encryption: {
algorithm: 'xchacha20-poly1305',
keyDistribution: {
kind: 'retroactive',
keyAuthority: '<peer-pubkey>', // the peer that will issue grants
},
}
```
On `hydrateFrom()`, the drive:
1. Records the file as encrypted-locked.
2. Subscribes to `bus:key:grant` events filtered by `fileId`.
3. Renders 🔒 in the UI.
When the key authority decides to grant access (or the user requests it via a side channel — e.g., paying for content, joining a group), it issues:
```ts
interface KeyGrantEnvelope extends MessageEnvelope {
type: 'key:grant';
payload: KeyGrantPayload;
}
interface KeyGrantPayload {
fileId: string;
recipient: string; // recipient pubkey
wrappedKey: Uint8Array; // wrapped to recipient via crypto_box_seal
issuer: string; // keyAuthority pubkey from the template
issuerSignature: Uint8Array; // Ed25519 over (fileId, recipient, wrappedKey, expiresAt)
expiresAt: number; // optional — for time-limited grants
}
```
The drive validates:
1. `issuer === template.encryption.keyAuthority` for this file.
2. `recipient === ourPubkey`.
3. Ed25519 sig.
4. `Date.now() < expiresAt` (if set).
On success, unwrap, store in KeyRing, flip 🔒 → 🔓, emit `drive:key:granted` event. UI updates.
### Revocation
A retroactive key grant can carry an `expiresAt`. After that timestamp:
- The drive evicts the unwrapped key from the KeyRing.
- The lock icon flips back 🔓 → 🔒.
- A new grant can be issued to extend access.
This is forward revocation only — anything the recipient already decrypted, they have. (See [`mesh-and-sharing.md`](./mesh-and-sharing.md) §"What revocation actually does".) For destructive revocation, rotate the `fileKey` server-side and re-issue the template with a new `manifestSig`.
### Trust roots
`GlobalPolicy.trustedKeyAuthorities` is the set of issuer pubkeys whose `key:grant` envelopes the drive will accept. Typically just `[server-pubkey]`, but multi-issuer setups (a game with multiple content vendors) can list several. The set is fixed at template issuance — adding new issuers requires a fresh template.
---
## 8. The `Drive.hydrateFrom()` API
```ts
class Drive {
hydrateFrom(template: DriveTemplate, options?: HydrateOptions): Promise<HydrateResult>;
}
interface HydrateOptions {
signal?: AbortSignal;
onProgress?: (event: HydrateProgressEvent) => void;
preFetch?: 'none' | 'metadata-only' | 'auto-download-files';
}
interface HydrateResult {
filesAdded: number;
bytesScheduled: number; // sum of sizes of autoDownload files
unlocked: number; // count of inline-key files unlocked
locked: number; // count of files awaiting retroactive grant
}
type HydrateProgressEvent =
| { kind: 'verified' }
| { kind: 'index-built'; entries: number }
| { kind: 'fetch-scheduled'; fileId: string }
| { kind: 'key-unlocked'; fileId: string };
```
`preFetch` controls hydration aggressiveness:
- `'none'` — instantiate indexes only; fetch on first read.
- `'metadata-only'` — fetch all manifests but no chunks. Lets the drive verify file integrity claims without the byte cost.
- `'auto-download-files'` (default) — honor each file's `policy.autoDownload`.
---
## 9. Worked example — game asset bundle
A game wants to ship a 2 GB asset bundle to 10K players. The server:
1. Chunks every asset file at 64 KiB. ~32K chunks across 200 files.
2. Computes Ed25519-signed chunk format for each chunk; uploads to the CDN at `/chunks.game.example.com/<reversed-id>/<file>_<chunk>.chunk`.
3. Computes a `DriveTemplate` listing every asset path, fileId, size, manifest, encryption (none for assets, inline for premium DLC).
4. Signs the template; expiry 30 days; nonce per player.
5. Distributes the template via the game launcher.
On the player's machine:
```ts
const drive = new Drive(opfsStorage)
.usePlugin(chunksPlugin({ ... }))
.usePlugin(meshPlugin({ networkNode }))
.usePlugin(transportWebrtcPlugin({ ... }))
.usePlugin(transportHttpsPlugin({ baseUrl: 'https://chunks.game.example.com' }));
await drive.initialize();
const result = await drive.hydrateFrom(template, {
preFetch: 'auto-download-files',
onProgress: (e) => updateLoadingScreen(e),
});
// result.filesAdded === 200; result.bytesScheduled === 2_000_000_000;
```
What happens next:
- For files with `autoDownload=true` and `meshAllowed=true`: drive-mesh broadcasts `cd:request`. Other players already running the game (with chunks cached) respond. Bandwidth comes from peers, not the CDN.
- For files no peer has yet (newest player): drive-transport-https hits the CDN.
- For files with `autoDownload=false`: deferred until the player navigates to the corresponding game zone; first-access pays a fetch.
- For DLC with inline encryption: keys unwrap immediately; UI shows 🔓.
- For event-bound DLC (retroactive keys, e.g., "this skin unlocks during the seasonal event"): UI shows 🔒. When the season starts, the server broadcasts `key:grant`; UIs flip to 🔓.
The CDN's bandwidth bill drops dramatically once the player base has any seed. The mesh handles the cold-start of new geographic clusters. The drive UX is identical regardless of where bytes came from.
---
## 10. Test contract
The `drive-template-v1` change folder will ship:
- `tests/template-roundtrip.test.ts` — canonicalSerialize / sign / verify cycle.
- `tests/template-replay.test.ts` — second hydrate with same nonce rejected.
- `tests/template-expired.test.ts` — expired template rejected with correct error code.
- `tests/template-tampered.test.ts` — bit flip anywhere in the template breaks the sig.
- `tests/policy-meshallowed-false.test.ts` — `meshAllowed: false` skips bus emit (verified via test bus interceptor).
- `tests/policy-cdnallowed-false.test.ts` — same for CDN.
- `tests/retention-lru.test.ts` — eviction respects `maxLocalCacheBytes`; permanent files never evicted.
- `tests/inline-key-unlock.test.ts` — hydrate flips lock icon; `read()` returns plaintext.
- `tests/retroactive-key-grant.test.ts` — incoming `key:grant` flips lock icon; `read()` works.
- `tests/cdn-reverse-id-url.test.ts` — URL builder produces correct path for various `levels`/`padding` combos.
- `tests/cdn-bad-sig.test.ts` — corrupted CDN response falls back to mesh.
---
## 11. Reading further
- [`mesh-protocol.md`](./mesh-protocol.md) — the chunk-request/response/advertise envelopes that hydration uses.
- [`encryption.md`](./encryption.md) — chunk format that the templates reference.
- [`mesh-and-sharing.md`](./mesh-and-sharing.md) — partition-based sharing as the alternative to dehydrated drives.
- [`../system-review.md`](../system-review.md) — the review this doc resolves.
- [`../drive-storage-network.md`](../drive-storage-network.md) — the whole composition map; hydration plugs into the read pipeline at the `mesh` layer.

# Drive Encryption — Encrypt / Sign / Decrypt / Verify on the Fly
The user's question: *"to be able to encrypt / sign / decrypt / verify on-the-fly."*
The drive layer does this through `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks`, which streams a file through a five-stage pipeline on the way down to storage and reverses it on the way up. Storage never sees plaintext.
Canonical specs:
- [`openspec/specs/packer/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/packer/spec.md) — chunked AEAD format.
- [`openspec/changes/drive-plugin-chunks-port/specs/drive-plugin-chunks/spec.md`](../../openspec/changes/drive-plugin-chunks-port/specs/drive-plugin-chunks/spec.md) — drive-side requirements.
## The chunk binary format (locked, v0x0001)
Every chunk on disk is exactly:
```text
metadata(100) ‖ sig(64) ‖ ciphertext(variable)
```
| Field | Size | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| version | 3 | `0x0001` (locked v1; `0x0002+` reserved for future formats) |
| fileId | 32 | 32-byte stable file identifier |
| chunkId | 4 | 0-indexed chunk number within the file |
| totalChunks | 4 | Total chunks in the file |
| fileSize | 8 | Total file size in bytes |
| chunkSize | 4 | Configured chunk size (e.g. 65536) |
| payloadLen | 4 | Actual ciphertext length for this chunk |
| flags | 2 | Reserved (compression, alg agility — currently 0) |
| nonce | 24 | XChaCha20 nonce, deterministic from `(fileId, chunkId)` |
| aeadTag | 16 | Poly1305 authentication tag |
| **sig** | **64** | **Ed25519 signature over `metadata ‖ aeadTag`** |
| ciphertext | `payloadLen` | XChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted payload |
Header total: 100 bytes. Signature: 64 bytes. Header + sig = **164 bytes per chunk** of overhead, regardless of chunk size.
Non-final chunks are exactly `chunkSize - 164` plaintext bytes. The final chunk is naturally short (no zero padding).
## The pipeline
### Write side
```text
plaintext stream
│
├── split into chunks of (chunkSize - 164) plaintext bytes (chop)
│
├── for each chunk:
│ ├── nonce = HKDF(fileKey, "chunk-nonce", fileId ‖ chunkId)
│ ├── ciphertext, aeadTag = XChaCha20-Poly1305-encrypt(fileKey, nonce, plaintext, AAD=metadata)
│ ├── sig = Ed25519-sign(driveSecretKey, metadata ‖ aeadTag)
│ └── chunk = metadata ‖ sig ‖ ciphertext (164 + payload)
│
└── store each chunk:
if storage.capabilities.partialWrites:
storage.setPartial(fileKey, chunkId * chunkSize, chunk) // sparse-file layout
else:
storage.set(`${fileKey}/${chunkId}`, chunk) // chunk-keys layout
│
├── manifest = { fileId, totalChunks, version, entries: [{ chunkId, hash, payloadLen }, ...] }
├── manifestSig = Ed25519-sign(driveSecretKey, canonicalSerialize(manifest))
└── store manifest at `manifests/${fileId}-v${version}`
```
### Read side
```text
storage read of one chunk
│
├── parse 164-byte header (extract metadata, sig, AAD)
│
├── verify Ed25519 sig over (metadata ‖ aeadTag) using driveId's pubkey
│ → reject with CHUNKS.SIG_INVALID if it doesn't match
│
├── decrypt ciphertext with XChaCha20-Poly1305(fileKey, nonce, AAD=metadata)
│ → reject with CHUNKS.AEAD_FAILED if the tag doesn't match
│
├── reassemble plaintext from contiguous chunkIds
│
└── verify whole-file BLAKE3 hash matches the manifest's checksum
→ reject with CHUNKS.INTEGRITY_FAILED otherwise
```
The verify-then-decrypt order is intentional: the signature is over the metadata + AEAD tag, *not* the plaintext, so signature verification can happen on bytes the storage layer just produced — no plaintext needed. If the signature is wrong (tampered chunk, wrong drive), we reject before spending CPU on decrypt.
## Where the keys come from
Two key materials per file:
1. **`fileKey`** — symmetric AEAD key. 32 bytes. Used for XChaCha20-Poly1305. Never leaves the drive in plaintext.
2. **`driveSecretKey`** — Ed25519 signing key. The drive's identity. Used to sign every chunk and every manifest.
Where they live:
- `driveSecretKey` is stored in the **vault** (`@suaveplan/crypto-vault`). The vault is unlocked with a BIP39 mnemonic + Argon2id-hardened KDF; on lock or process exit, all derived keys are zeroized. The public key — `driveId` — is derived from this and is what every other drive uses to verify signatures.
- `fileKey` is per-file, generated fresh on first write. It is **wrapped** with the partition KEK (key-encryption-key) by `drive-sharing` and stored alongside the manifest. Authorized peers unwrap it; unauthorized peers see only ciphertext.
For shared files (multiple drives can read), `drive-sharing` rewraps the `fileKey` with each authorized drive's public key (X25519 + sealed-box). Revocation rotates `fileKey` on the next write.
## End-to-end encryption properties
| Property | Mechanism |
| --- | --- |
| Confidentiality at rest | XChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphertext is what storage stores. Any backend (S3, OPFS, FAT) sees only ciphertext. |
| Confidentiality in transit | Same ciphertext flows through `drive-transport-*`. Network plugins never see plaintext. |
| Authenticity | Per-chunk Ed25519 sig — only the drive that wrote the chunk could have produced it. |
| Integrity | (a) AEAD tag per chunk, (b) BLAKE3 over the whole file in the manifest, (c) Ed25519 over the manifest. Three layers; any one catches tampering. |
| Anti-substitution | Manifest signature pins the exact `(chunkId, hash, payloadLen)` tuple. A peer can't swap chunk 3's content for an older chunk 3 of the same length. |
| Forward secrecy on revocation | Rotating `fileKey` on the next write means revoked peers can decrypt only what they've already cached, not future content. |
| Replay resistance | Manifest version monotonically increases; old manifests are rejected once a newer one is signed by the same drive. |
## The on-the-fly part
Both directions are streaming. The chunks plugin uses `@suaveplan/streams` (which uses WHATWG `TransformStream`). A 1 GiB file never fully lands in memory:
- **Write** — `createWriteStream(path)` returns a `WritableStream` that the plugin pipes through `chop → encrypt+sign → store`.
- **Read** — `createReadStream(path)` returns a `ReadableStream` that pulls chunks lazily, verifies and decrypts each, and yields plaintext bytes.
The pipeline is backpressure-safe end-to-end: if the consumer slows down, the storage reads stop; if the producer is slow, the encrypt stage idles.
## What the storage layer sees
A 1 GiB file written through this pipeline, with `chunkSize = 65536`:
- Sparse-file layout: one storage key (`files/<fileId>`), 1 GiB of opaque ciphertext, plus one key (`manifests/<fileId>-v<version>`) of ~16 KiB.
- Chunk-keys layout: 16,384 storage keys (`files/<fileId>/<chunkId>`), each ~64 KiB ciphertext, plus the manifest key.
In **neither** case can the storage backend reconstruct the plaintext, the file size in plaintext, the file path, the owner, or the file's relationship to other files. Storage is a black box that holds ciphertext.
## Why this fits enterprise scenarios
- **Encrypted backups** — set the drive's storage to S3, configure server-side encryption *also* if you want defence-in-depth. The bytes hitting S3 are already AEAD-sealed; SSE is icing.
- **Browser drives without trust in the storage origin** — OPFS in a third-party context or IndexedDB in a shared browser is fine: the bytes are ciphertext.
- **Multi-tenant servers** — `NamespacedStorage` per tenant, plus `drive-sharing` partitions, plus per-file `fileKey` — three layers of isolation.
- **Peer-to-peer chunk distribution** — peers serve ciphertext bytes they cannot themselves read (unless they hold the wrapped `fileKey`). The mesh forwards verifiable bytes; only authorised consumers decrypt.

# Drive — Implementation Status
Source of truth: [`STATUS.md`](../../STATUS.md), the canonical [`openspec/specs/drive/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/drive/spec.md), and the in-flight changes under `openspec/changes/`.
## Shipped on `genesis`
| Package | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/drive` | Thin VFS core. `Drive`, `DriveStorage`, plugin chain, lifecycle, capability fallbacks. Spec-conformance for `DRIVE-01..09`. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks` | Locked v0x0001 chunk format. Sparse-file + chunk-keys layouts. AEAD encrypt + Ed25519 sign + manifest. 12 spec-conformance tests. |
## Pending — to be ported from `main`
| Package | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/drive-sharing` | Partition-based access control + envelope encryption + grant/revoke/tokens. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-react-sharing` | React UI — `<ShareDialog>`, `<PartitionBadge>`, `useSharing()`. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-webrtc` | Pre-packaged "browser drive" plugin: chunks + transport-webrtc + signalling, in one. |
## Planned — new on `genesis`
| Package | Why it's new |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/drive-mesh` | Per-file chunk scheduling, peer scoring, bitset advertisement. The proposal is in `openspec/changes/drive-mesh-port/`. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-transport-https` | HTTPS chunk transport. `GET /v1/chunks/<fileId>/<chunkId>` with Range requests. Server fallback. Proposal in `drive-transport-https-port`. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-transport-webrtc` | WebRTC datachannel chunk transport. `[uint32 BE frameLen][uint8 frameType][payload]` framing. Proposal in `drive-transport-webrtc-port`. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-cow` | Copy-on-write versioning + snapshots. Re-proposed from the `enterprise-drive` monolith but as its own plugin. |
| `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-dedup` | Content-addressed dedup. Builds on `ContentAddressedStorage`. |
## The architectural conflict to resolve
Two competing proposals targeting the same package name:
| Proposal | Stance | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [`enterprise-drive`](../../openspec/changes/enterprise-drive/proposal.md) | Monolith — chunks/CoW/dedup/snapshots/transforms all in one fat package. | 0% impl. 25 ADDED requirements. **Conflicts with the migrated drive design.** |
| [`drive-port`](../../openspec/changes/drive-port/proposal.md) | Split — drive is a thin VFS core, everything else is sibling packages. | The genesis-canonical design. Already implemented in the migrated `@suaveplan/drive`. Spec is `DRIVE-01..09`. |
**Recommendation:** archive `enterprise-drive`. Re-propose CoW and snapshot from it as `drive-plugin-cow` (a sibling plugin, not part of drive core). Re-propose its useful spec deltas (Zod option schemas, OTel coverage, AbortSignal everywhere) as small additive changes against `openspec/specs/drive/spec.md`.
## In-flight clarification changes (no code, all spec)
| Change | What it resolves |
| --- | --- |
| [`drive-network-integration`](../../openspec/changes/drive-network-integration/proposal.md) | The boundary between `drive-mesh`, `network-plugin-registry`, and `network-plugin-content-delivery`. Pure spec — no code, no spec-delta directory; resolves a 3-way ambiguity in one document. |
| [`enterprise-types-cross-cutting`](../../openspec/changes/enterprise-types-cross-cutting/proposal.md) | Adds `ChunkSource`, `ChunkRef`, `DrivePlugin`, `MiddlewareHandler` to `@suaveplan/types` so plugins don't redeclare them. **Mostly implemented; awaits archive.** |
## Critical-path order
1. **Land `enterprise-types-cross-cutting`** (archive it). This is the unlock for everything below — drive-mesh, drive-transport-*, drive-webrtc, network-plugin-* all reference these types.
2. **Resolve `enterprise-drive` vs `drive-port`** (decide; archive the loser). The genesis recommendation is keep `drive-port` as canonical, archive `enterprise-drive`.
3. **Land `drive-network-integration`** (no-code spec change). Establishes the contract that lets steps 4–7 land independently.
4. **Port `storage-browser-opfs`, `storage-browser`, `storage-file`** (parallel work, all from `main`). Unblocks every browser/server drive scenario.
5. **Implement `drive-transport-https`** (proposal already written). Server-fallback transport — needed before `drive-mesh` ships, because mesh races mesh peers against the server fallback.
6. **Implement `drive-mesh`** (proposal already written). Per-file scheduling. Depends on chunks (shipped), transport-https (step 5), and the network registry (in `network-suite`).
7. **Implement `drive-transport-webrtc`** + port `drive-webrtc`. Browser-to-browser chunk transfer.
8. **Port `drive-sharing` + `drive-react-sharing`**. Access control on top.
9. **Implement `drive-plugin-cow` and `drive-plugin-dedup`**. Sugar; not on the critical path.
Steps 1–3 are zero-code. Step 4 is parallel three-way work. Steps 5–9 are sequential because each depends on the previous interface.
## Test debt to inherit / avoid
The `docs/old-network-planning/test-failures-analysis.md`, `test-isolation-fix-plan.md`, and `test-isolation-implementation-guide.md` document a real test-isolation bug class on the main branch:
- Singleton transport registries that persist across tests (`MemoryTransport._instances`).
- Singleton timer controllers that share state.
- Real `setTimeout` in time-sensitive tests instead of `FakeClock`.
- Voting / partition handlers that retain history between tests.
The genesis testing rule (from `CLAUDE.md`): **no mocks of internal services, real services only.** And the test-infrastructure design (`@suaveplan/testing-integration`) explicitly enforces fixture lifecycle (parallel start, reverse stop, idempotent teardown). Drive tests follow the same rule: every drive test gets a fresh `MemoryStorage`, a fresh `Drive` instance, and a fresh `NetworkNode` if the test exercises the mesh. No shared state between tests.

# The Two Indexes — Directory Metadata and File Location
The user's question: *"a metadata object of nested directory indexes for efficiency and a file with an index to its location within the nested directories."*
This document specifies that. There are exactly **two indexes** at the drive layer, and both live in storage as bitpacker-encoded blobs at well-known keys.
## Why two indexes
A naive drive uses one storage key per file path. Listing a directory then means scanning every key and filtering by prefix — O(n) over the whole drive. A 1M-file drive becomes painful fast, and a content-addressed backend (`ContentAddressedStorage`) loses path information entirely because the key is a hash of the content.
Two indexes solve this:
1. **Directory index** — for efficient listing and metadata lookup.
2. **File location index** — for resolving a logical path to whatever the storage layer actually keeps.
Both are bitpacker-encoded (`@suaveplan/bitpacker`) so the on-disk size is small, deltas are cheap to gossip across the mesh, and writes are a single `setPartial` against a known offset.
## Index 1 — Directory index
A nested-tree object, stored as a single bitpacker blob at the drive's root metadata key (`<drive-id>/__meta/dirs`). One node per directory:
```ts
interface DirEntry {
name: string; // single path component, no '/'
type: 'dir' | 'file';
fileLocId?: string; // present iff type === 'file'; key into the file location index
childIds?: string[]; // present iff type === 'dir'; ordered list of child DirEntry ids
perm?: number; // POSIX-ish bits, optional
mtime?: number; // unix ms, optional
size?: number; // bytes, optional (mirrored from file metadata for fast list)
}
interface DirIndex {
rootId: string;
entries: Map<string, DirEntry>; // id → DirEntry
version: number; // monotonic; bumps on every write
}
```
A path like `/photos/2026/wedding.jpg` resolves by walking from the root: read `entries[rootId]`, find child with `name === 'photos'`, follow its id, find child `'2026'`, follow, find child `'wedding.jpg'` (type `'file'`, with a `fileLocId`).
### Properties
- **`list(prefix)` is O(depth + children)**, not O(total files), because we only walk the relevant subtree.
- **Stat-without-read** is O(depth) — the size and mtime live on the entry, no need to fetch the file location.
- **Rename is O(1)** — change the `name` field of one entry, increment `version`, write.
- **Move is O(1)** — remove a `childId` from one parent's list, add it to another's.
- **Hardlinks are possible** — two parents can share the same child id (the file location is unaffected). The drive layer policies whether to allow them.
### Concurrency
The directory index is one blob, so concurrent writes need a CAS. Three strategies:
1. **Optimistic CAS** — read, edit, write with `if-match: version`. Loop on conflict.
2. **Per-directory blobs** — split the index into one blob per directory; only the directory being modified takes a CAS. Better at scale, more keys.
3. **CRDT** — use `@suaveplan/crdt` to make the index conflict-free. Right for multi-writer drives where mesh reconciliation matters more than single-write throughput.
Strategy 1 is the genesis default. Strategy 2 kicks in when a single directory regularly exceeds 10k entries. Strategy 3 is opt-in when the drive is multi-writer.
## Index 2 — File location index
A flat map from `fileLocId → FileLocation`, also bitpacker-encoded, stored at `<drive-id>/__meta/locs`:
```ts
interface FileLocation {
fileId: string; // stable, unique per file (not per version)
version: number; // CoW version; bumps on every write
size: number;
checksum: string; // 'blake3:<hex>' for whole-file integrity
storageHints: StorageHint[]; // ordered: fastest first
}
type StorageHint =
| { kind: 'inline'; bytes: Uint8Array } // tiny files (<1 KiB) live in the location entry itself
| { kind: 'whole'; storageId: string; key: string } // whole-blob layout: one storage key holds the file
| { kind: 'sparse-file'; storageId: string; key: string; chunkSize: number } // chunks plugin sparse layout
| { kind: 'chunk-keys'; storageId: string; manifestKey: string } // chunks plugin per-chunk keys + manifest
| { kind: 'mesh'; manifestKey: string }; // mesh-only: this drive doesn't have local copy
```
The `storageHints` array lets a single file have **multiple representations** simultaneously. A file might be:
- inline if tiny,
- in `S3` with `kind: 'whole'` for cold storage,
- in `OpfsStorage` with `kind: 'sparse-file'` for hot local access,
- and known to the mesh (`kind: 'mesh'`) so peers can serve chunks.
When `drive.read(path)` runs, the read middleware resolves path → fileLocId → FileLocation, then walks `storageHints` in order until one yields bytes. The chunks plugin reads `manifestKey` to learn the per-chunk layout and reassembles. The mesh plugin tries peers for any missing chunk.
## How a write happens
```text
drive.write("/photos/2026/wedding.jpg", bytes)
↓
[middleware: chunks plugin] split bytes into chunks, encrypt each (XChaCha20-Poly1305),
sign each (Ed25519), build manifest, sign manifest
↓
[middleware: dedup plugin (optional)] hash content; if it already exists in the
content-addressed pool, skip the write and
just point at the existing chunks
↓
[core: storage write] write each chunk to the chosen storage layout
(sparse-file or chunk-keys), write the manifest
↓
[middleware: chunks plugin (post)] return new FileLocation with the chunk pointer
↓
[drive: index update] CAS-update the file location index with the new FileLocation
CAS-update the directory index with the new DirEntry
(creating intermediate directories as needed)
↓
[middleware: mesh plugin (post)] gossip the new chunk inventory to peers
via NetworkBus 'cd:advertise'
```
## How a read happens
```text
drive.read("/photos/2026/wedding.jpg")
↓
[drive: index resolve] walk dir index from root → DirEntry → fileLocId → FileLocation
↓
[middleware: chunks plugin (pre)] load manifest, parse chunk references
↓
For each chunk:
[middleware: cache plugin (optional)] check local cache
[core: storage read] try storageHints in priority order:
'inline' → return bytes
'whole' → storage.get(key)
'sparse-file' → storage.getPartial(key, chunkOffset, chunkOffset + chunkSize)
'chunk-keys' → storage.get(`${storageId}/${chunkId}`)
'mesh' → ask drive-mesh, which races peers via NetworkBus 'cd:request'
↓
[middleware: chunks plugin (verify)] verify Ed25519 sig, decrypt AEAD, check BLAKE3
↓
[middleware: chunks plugin (reassemble)] concat into the original bytes
↓
return Uint8Array
```
## Why bitpacker, not JSON
The two indexes are read on every `list`, `stat`, and `read` — they belong in memory. Bitpacker buys us:
- **Compactness** — typical directory entry is ~20 bytes vs ~120 for JSON.
- **Schema evolution** — versioned schemas with forward/backward compatibility live in `@suaveplan/schema-registry` and `@suaveplan/bitpacker`.
- **Delta gossip** — the mesh advertises *changes* to the index, not the whole index. A 1 MiB index with 100 changes/s gossips ~2 KiB/s.
JSON is fine for the user-facing snapshot/export format. It's not fine for the hot-path index.
## Path-to-key mapping summary
```typescript
"/photos/2026/wedding.jpg"
↓ (DirIndex walk)
DirEntry { name: "wedding.jpg", type: "file", fileLocId: "f-1729...." }
↓ (FileLocation lookup)
FileLocation { fileId: "f-1729...", version: 3, storageHints: [
{ kind: "sparse-file", storageId: "local", key: "files/f-1729...", chunkSize: 65536 },
{ kind: "mesh", manifestKey: "manifests/f-1729...-v3" },
] }
↓ (chunks plugin)
manifest = bitpacker.decode(storage.get("manifests/f-1729...-v3"))
→ 14 chunks, each at offset i * 65536, signed by drive-id, AEAD-encrypted with file key
↓ (per-chunk read + verify + decrypt)
Uint8Array (the photo)
```
This is the whole "metadata object of nested directory indexes + a file with an index to its location" you asked for, expressed as a precise contract.
## How a 100-file drive maps onto the storage backend
A common question: if I save 100 files through the drive, do I get 100 files on disk, or one big partition file? The answer depends on which backend you configure. The drive layer's two indexes plus the chunks plugin's layout selection produce different on-disk shapes:
| Backend | Files-on-disk for 100 logical files (~50 MiB each) | Layout | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| `MemoryStorage` | 0 (in-process map) | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `FileStorage` (Node fs) | **~202** (100 chunk-files + 100 manifests + 2 indexes) | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `OpfsStorage` (browser) | ~202 OPFS handles | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `S3` | **~80,202 objects** (one per chunk + manifests + indexes) | chunk-keys | `partialWrites=false`, RMW too expensive |
| `IndexedDbStorage` | ~80,202 IDB rows | chunk-keys | `partialWrites=false` |
| `SqliteStorage` | **1** `.sqlite` file with ~80k blob rows | sparse-file via `incremental_blob_open` | One file ≈ one partition |
| `FatStorage` | **1** FAT disk image (mountable by the OS) | sparse-file inside the FS-in-a-file | True "partition file" |
| `ContentAddressedStorage` wrapping any backend | ~80k unique chunk-blobs (deduped across files) | chunk-keys | Hashes coalesce identical content |
So `FileStorage` gives you ~2 files per logical file (the sparse chunk-file plus its manifest). `S3` gives you ~800 objects per logical file (one per chunk plus manifest). `SqliteStorage` and `FatStorage` give you genuine one-file-equals-one-partition semantics — pick these when you need atomic backup, mountable export, or fixed-size budgets.
Tiny files (<1 KiB) skip the chunks pipeline entirely via the `kind: 'inline'` storage hint — bytes live inside the FileLocationIndex itself. So a 100-file drive where 30 files are <1 KiB is closer to **172 files on disk** with `FileStorage`.
The drive layer never produces "100 files mirroring user paths in plaintext on disk" — that is by design, because path mirroring leaks structural metadata to whichever backend holds the bytes (S3 admins, OPFS quotas, FAT disk inspectors). If plaintext path-mirror semantics are genuinely required, skip the drive layer and write to `FileStorage` directly; the drive's whole job is to abstract over storage.

# Drive Mesh and Sharing
This document covers two of the most-asked-about pieces of the drive layer:
1. How **n drives** find each other and replicate chunks (`drive-mesh`).
2. How files become **shareable** between specific drives (`drive-sharing`).
Both are plugins that compose with the chunks plugin and the network layer.
## `drive-mesh` — per-file scheduling
`drive-mesh` makes a drive participate in a chunk-sharing mesh. It does **not** own peer identity or per-peer health — those live in `network-plugin-registry`. Mesh's job is, for one specific file:
1. **Advertise** which chunks of which fileIds this drive holds (gzip-compressed bitset).
2. **Discover** which peers hold the chunks this drive needs (read advertisements off the bus).
3. **Schedule** a fetch plan: which chunks to pull from which peers, with parallel races and per-chunk timeouts.
4. **Score** peers per file: a peer that gave you a bad signature gets `-Infinity`; a peer that consistently delivers fast bumps up.
Spec excerpts:
- `MESH-DEPS-01`: mesh consumes `ChunkSource` from the chunks plugin; it does not import drive core.
- `MESH-SCHED-01..03`: parallel-pull window, per-chunk timeout, server fallback.
- `MESH-SCORE-01`: bad sig → score `-Infinity` permanently.
- `MESH-GOSSIP-01`: bitset advertisements over the network bus.
- `MESH-FETCH-FILE-01`: end-to-end happy path — mesh resolves, requests, verifies, hands plaintext up the chain.
### The mesh fetch flow (one file)
```text
drive-mesh.fetchFile(fileId)
│
├── 1. fetch manifest (peer-first, server-fallback)
├── 2. local check: which chunks do we already have?
├── 3. for each missing chunk:
│ ├── pick top-N candidates from per-peer score
│ ├── race them; first verifying response wins
│ ├── on bad sig: blacklist that peer, retry next candidate
│ ├── on timeout: try the next candidate
│ └── on full miss: fall through to drive-transport-https (server)
├── 4. verify each chunk's Ed25519 sig + AEAD tag
├── 5. reassemble; verify whole-file BLAKE3
└── 6. emit `cd:advertise` so other peers know we now have these chunks
```
### `drive-mesh` does NOT do
- **Peer discovery.** That's the network discovery plugins (`network-plugin-registry`, `network-discovery-*`).
- **Mesh-wide redundancy** (ensuring N copies of every chunk exist). That's `network-plugin-content-delivery`.
- **Cross-mesh relay.** That's `network-plugin-relay`.
- **The actual transport.** That's `drive-transport-webrtc` / `drive-transport-https`.
Mesh sits in the middle: scheduler for one specific file's chunks, leaving identity, redundancy, and bytes-on-wire to the layers around it.
## `drive-sharing` — partitions and access control
`drive-sharing` is the access-control layer. The unit of access is a **partition**.
### Mental model
Think of a drive as a tree of partitions. The root partition belongs to the drive's owner. Sub-partitions can be created and granted to other drives. Each partition has its own key-encryption-key (KEK); files inside a partition are encrypted with per-file `fileKey`s, each of which is wrapped with the partition's KEK.
```text
drive (alice@example.com)
└── root partition (KEK_root)
├── /personal/... (file keys wrapped by KEK_root)
└── shared partition "wedding" (KEK_wedding)
├── /wedding/photo1.jpg (file key wrapped by KEK_wedding)
└── /wedding/photo2.jpg
```
Granting `bob@example.com` access to "wedding" means: rewrap `KEK_wedding` with bob's public key (X25519 sealed-box) and hand bob the wrapped blob. Bob's drive unwraps with its private key, caches `KEK_wedding`, and can now unwrap any `fileKey` in that partition.
### Public API (from `@suaveplan/drive-sharing` proposal)
| Component | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `PartitionManager` | Create/delete/list partitions. Each has an id and a KEK. |
| `KeyRing` | Holds the unwrapped KEKs the current drive has access to. |
| `WebCryptoProvider` | KEK wrap/unwrap. X25519 sealed-box plus AES-KW for symmetric rewrap. |
| `GrantManager` | `grant(partition, peerPubKey)` / `revoke(partition, peerPubKey)`. |
| `TokenManager` | Time-limited share tokens (URL-safe) — give someone read access for 24h without exchanging keys. |
| `TransferManager` | Move a file between partitions: rewrap its `fileKey` from the source KEK to the destination KEK. |
### What revocation actually does
Naive revocation is impossible after the fact: a peer who has already decrypted a chunk will always have the plaintext. Revocation in this design is *forward*:
1. `revoke(partition, bob)` removes bob from the partition's authorized list.
2. The next `write()` to that partition rotates `KEK_wedding` to `KEK_wedding'`.
3. New `fileKey`s are wrapped with `KEK_wedding'`. Old `fileKey`s remain wrapped with `KEK_wedding`.
4. Files written before revocation are *re-keyed* lazily: on first read after revocation, the drive rewraps the `fileKey` with the new KEK and re-uploads the wrap blob (not the data — just the small wrap).
Bob can read what he already cached. He cannot read anything new, including content uploaded after revocation. This is the standard envelope-encryption revocation pattern.
### Tokens vs grants
- **Grants** are per-peer-identity (X25519 public key). Revocable. Use for stable relationships.
- **Tokens** are bearer (anyone with the token can use it for the validity window). Self-expiring. Use for one-off shares ("here's a link to the wedding photos for 24 hours").
`TokenManager` builds tokens server-side (or client-side with a server signature, depending on the deployment). The token contains the partition id, an expiry, and a wrapped KEK. The receiver's drive unwraps and uses it like any other KEK until expiry.
### React UI
`@suaveplan/drive-react-sharing` ships:
- `<ShareDialog drive={drive} path={...} />` — full UI for granting/revoking/tokenizing.
- `<PartitionBadge>` — show which partition a file belongs to.
- `<FileAccessList>` — render the current grant list.
- `useSharing()` — hook that exposes the imperative API.
It is a thin UI layer over `@suaveplan/drive-sharing` — no business logic of its own.
## Composition — mesh + sharing + chunks
The four plugins (`chunks`, `sharing`, `mesh`, `transport-*`) compose cleanly because they each touch a different concern:
| Plugin | Concern | Where it intercepts |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `chunks` | Confidentiality + integrity of bytes on disk and on wire | `drive:read` (verify+decrypt), `drive:write` (encrypt+sign) |
| `sharing` | Authorisation: which drives can read which partition | `drive:read` (unwrap fileKey), `drive:write` (wrap fileKey) |
| `mesh` | Where to fetch missing chunks | `drive:read` (when local store misses) |
| `transport-*` | Bytes on the wire to/from peers | Below mesh; serves chunks-by-id |
Chunks alone gives you encryption-at-rest. Chunks + sharing gives you encryption-at-rest with multi-drive access control. Chunks + sharing + mesh + transport gives you n drives that share files end-to-end-encrypted across a tiered network.
## Cross-references with the network layer
The `drive-network-integration` change folder ([proposal](../../openspec/changes/drive-network-integration/proposal.md)) is the canonical contract. Summary:
| Direction | Event | Producer | Consumer | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Out | `cd:advertise` | `drive-mesh` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | "I have these chunks of these fileIds" |
| Out | `cd:request` | `drive-mesh` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | "Anyone got chunk X of file Y?" |
| In | `cd:response` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | `drive-mesh` | "Here's the chunk" (verifies via chunks plugin) |
| In | `peer:joined`/`peer:left`/`peer:updated` | `network-plugin-registry` | `drive-mesh` | Peer identity lifecycle |
`drive-mesh` knows nothing about *which* transport delivers a chunk. `network-plugin-content-delivery` knows nothing about *which* file a chunk belongs to. The bus carries content-addressed chunk requests; everything else is layer-local.

# Mesh Protocol — Chunk Requests, Advertisements, Responses
This is the wire-protocol spec for how drives request and exchange chunks across the mesh. It encodes the three-form chunk request, the bitpacker-compressed presence bitset, the response piggyback, and the trust model.
This document is the resolution of [`system-review.md`](../system-review.md) §1, §2, §10, §11. The spec belongs in `openspec/specs/drive-mesh/spec.md` once the proposal lands; for now this is the architectural reference.
---
## 1. Why bitsets
A 50 MiB file at 65,536-byte chunks = 800 chunks. Two clients meeting on the mesh must:
1. Tell each other what they have (advertise).
2. Request what they need.
A naïve protocol uses one envelope per chunk. With 800-chunk files and a 50-peer mesh, every advertisement round = 40,000 envelopes. A bitset is two orders of magnitude smaller. With `@suaveplan/bitpacker-compressed` (RLE + DEFLATE), a typical 800-bit presence map encodes to <100 bytes when most chunks are present or absent.
The mesh protocol is therefore **bitset-first**: every advertisement and every dense request uses a bitset. Sparse selections (≤64 chunks) use an array; the cutover threshold matches the bytes-on-wire break-even.
---
## 2. The three request forms
```ts
type ChunkRequest =
| { kind: 'whole' }
| { kind: 'specific'; chunkIds: number[] }
| { kind: 'bitset'; bytes: Uint8Array };
```
| Form | When to use | Wire size (800-chunk file) |
|---|---|---|
| `whole` | Initial fetch; receiver returns everything it has | 1 byte (the discriminator) |
| `specific` | Sparse selection (≤64 chunks needed) | 4 bytes per chunkId × N |
| `bitset` | Dense selection (>64 chunks) | typically <100 bytes after `bitpacker-compressed` |
The drive-mesh layer chooses the form per-request based on the chunk-presence delta. Switching is automatic; the receiver supports all three.
### `ChunkRequestEnvelope`
```ts
interface ChunkRequestEnvelope extends MessageEnvelope {
type: 'cd:request';
payload: Uint8Array; // bitpacker-encoded ChunkRequestPayload
}
interface ChunkRequestPayload {
fileId: string; // 32-byte hex
request: ChunkRequest;
priority: 'critical' | 'high' | 'normal' | 'low' | 'bulk';
maxChunks?: number; // cap on response payload (default 64)
signal?: AbortSignal; // not on wire — local cancellation
}
```
Encoded via `@suaveplan/bitpacker-network` for the envelope frame; the `bytes` of the bitset use `@suaveplan/bitpacker-compressed`.
### Empty-array semantics
The user's brief mentioned "supplying the file id and an empty chunk ids array" to mean "everything." The current spec uses `{ kind: 'whole' }` instead of `{ kind: 'specific'; chunkIds: [] }` to disambiguate — empty array could mean "nothing" or "everything" depending on reader bias. `kind: 'whole'` is unambiguous; `kind: 'specific'` with `chunkIds: []` is rejected at validation as a no-op request.
---
## 3. The advertisement envelope
```ts
interface ChunkAdvertiseEnvelope extends MessageEnvelope {
type: 'cd:advertise';
payload: Uint8Array; // bitpacker-encoded ChunkAdvertisePayload
}
interface ChunkAdvertisePayload {
fileId: string;
presence: Uint8Array; // bitset, bit i = 1 iff peer has chunk i
totalChunks: number;
// Generation counter — increments on every change to this peer's presence
// map for this file. Lets receivers ignore out-of-order advertisements.
generation: number;
timestamp: number; // injectable Clock
}
```
### Encoding
- `presence` uses `@suaveplan/bitpacker-compressed`'s RLE encoder. Run-length is ideal for chunk presence because chunks tend to arrive in bursts (sequential downloads) — most bitsets have long 1-runs and long 0-runs.
- `presence.length` (in bits) MUST equal `totalChunks`. Padding bits in the final byte MUST be zero.
- A bit set to 1 means: "I have a verified chunk for this position." A bit set to 0 means either "I don't have it" or "I have it but haven't verified the signature yet."
### When to advertise
Drives gossip advertisements:
- On startup, for every file in the FileLocationIndex.
- On `cd:advertise` from another peer (transitive — but only the delta since our last advert; throttled to one outgoing per file per second).
- On every `cd:response` we receive (we now have new chunks; tell our neighbors).
### Generation counter
`generation` lets receivers handle out-of-order advertisements:
```text
if (advert.generation < lastSeen[peerId][fileId]) drop;
else lastSeen[peerId][fileId] = advert.generation;
```
Wraps modulo 2^32 — wrap is rare enough that we tolerate a one-cycle anomaly.
---
## 4. The response envelope
```ts
interface ChunkResponseEnvelope extends MessageEnvelope {
type: 'cd:response';
payload: Uint8Array; // bitpacker-encoded ChunkResponsePayload
}
interface ChunkResponsePayload {
fileId: string;
chunks: ChunkBytes[]; // ordered by chunkId asc
presence: Uint8Array; // piggyback: my full bitset for this file (free advert)
generation: number;
}
interface ChunkBytes {
chunkId: number;
bytes: Uint8Array; // 164-byte chunk header + ciphertext (signed by writer)
}
```
### Why piggyback presence
A response is the perfect time to update peer-index for `(peerId, fileId)`. The receiver got the chunks they wanted *and* learned the holder's full inventory in one round-trip. This eliminates a separate advertisement cycle for active partners. Cost: ~100 bytes per response. Benefit: skip ~200 bytes + RTT for a follow-up advertisement.
### Per-chunk verification
Each `ChunkBytes.bytes` is the locked v0x0001 chunk format from [`encryption.md`](./encryption.md):
```text
metadata(100) ‖ sig(64) ‖ ciphertext(variable)
```
The receiver verifies the Ed25519 sig against the writer's pubkey (from the registry), checks the AEAD tag, and only then commits the bytes. A bad sig drops the response and demotes the responder's score (see §6).
---
## 5. Response sizing and chunking-of-the-response
A 64-chunk response at 65,536 bytes per chunk = 4 MiB. That is too large for a single WebRTC datachannel message (WebRTC SCTP fragmentation breaks down past 16 KiB cleanly). The drive-transport layer fragments the envelope; the protocol layer caps:
- `maxChunks` defaults to 64; receivers MUST honor it.
- Responses larger than 1 MiB are sent as multiple `cd:response` envelopes with the same correlation id.
- WebRTC backpressure (`bufferedAmount > 16 MiB`) blocks further sends — see `TRANSPORT-WRTC-04`.
For very large transfers, the responder may choose to return a partial response and emit `cd:advertise` for the rest, letting the requester re-pull on its own pace.
---
## 6. Trust and verification
### Probabilistic trust model
A peer that consistently advertises chunks it doesn't actually have wastes the requester's time even if it never sends a bad signature. The trust model handles this:
```text
For each (peerId, fileId):
advertised: bitset of "has it according to advertisements"
delivered: bitset of "actually delivered when asked"
missing: bitset of advertised-but-failed-on-request
trustScore = 1 - (popcount(missing) / popcount(advertised))
P(skip request) = max(0, 0.05 - trustScore) * 20 // demotes harshly past 5% miss
```
Bad signature: immediate `trustScore = -Infinity` (existing `MESH-SCORE-01`); we never request from this peer for this file again.
Per-file scope: a peer good for one file doesn't earn blanket trust for others. Avoids reputation laundering.
### Sample verification on advertisement
Optionally, the receiver can probe: pick one chunk from `presence`, request it, verify. If the bit is set but the chunk isn't deliverable, demote. Sampling rate is adaptive: 1-in-100 by default, raised to 1-in-10 if a peer enters "suspect" status.
---
## 7. Worked example — 800-chunk file, 50% present locally
Alice's drive needs file `f-1729...` (800 chunks). She has chunks 0–399 locally.
```text
1. Alice constructs a "needed" bitset: 0b0...01...1 (400 zeros, 400 ones).
bitpacker-compressed RLE encode: ~12 bytes.
2. Alice broadcasts cd:request:
{ fileId: 'f-1729...', request: { kind: 'bitset', bytes: <12 bytes> },
priority: 'normal', maxChunks: 64 }
Total envelope: ~50 bytes.
3. Three peers (Bob, Carol, Dave) reply:
- Bob: has 400-799. Sends 64 chunks (bytes ~4.2 MiB, fragmented), plus
piggyback presence (RLE: ~10 bytes).
- Carol: has 400-700. Sends 64 chunks of 400-463.
- Dave: has 500-700 only. Sends 64 chunks of 500-563.
4. Alice's mesh layer races them; first verifying response wins per chunk.
- Chunks 400-463: Carol wins (lower latency).
- Chunks 464-499: Bob wins (Carol doesn't have).
- Chunks 500-563: race between Bob/Carol/Dave.
- Chunks 564-700: race between Bob/Carol.
- Chunks 700-799: Bob wins (sole holder).
5. Each verified chunk is stored, presence bit flipped, gossiped via cd:advertise.
6. Alice's progress UI:
t=0: ███░░░░░░░ 50%
t=2s: █████░░░░░ 60% (Carol's batch verified)
t=4s: ███████░░░ 80% (Bob's batch verified)
t=6s: ██████████ 100%
```
Total round trips: 3 (one per responder). Total bandwidth (excluding chunk bytes): ~200 bytes of metadata. Without bitset compression, the same exchange would have generated 800 single-chunk requests.
---
## 8. Error envelopes
```ts
interface ChunkErrorEnvelope extends MessageEnvelope {
type: 'cd:error';
payload: {
fileId: string;
correlationId: string; // matches the cd:request id
code: ChunkErrorCode;
chunkId?: number; // present for chunk-specific errors
retryAfterMs?: number; // backpressure hint
};
}
type ChunkErrorCode =
| 'NOT_FOUND' // requested chunk genuinely absent
| 'ACCESS_DENIED' // policy prevents serving (e.g. unsigned trust token)
| 'BANDWIDTH_EXCEEDED' // QoS quota hit; retryAfterMs set
| 'GENERATION_STALE' // requester's presence info is older than ours
| 'INTERNAL';
```
`GENERATION_STALE` is informational — the responder included its current generation in the error so the requester can update without a separate advertisement.
---
## 9. Integration with `network-plugin-content-delivery`
`drive-mesh` produces and consumes these envelopes via `NetworkBus`. `network-plugin-content-delivery` is the *transport-level* plugin that routes them:
| Direction | Bus topic | Producer | Consumer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outbound | `cd:request` | `drive-mesh` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` (forwards to peers) |
| Outbound | `cd:advertise` | `drive-mesh` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` (gossips to peers) |
| Outbound | `cd:response` | `drive-mesh` (when serving) | `network-plugin-content-delivery` (forwards to requester) |
| Inbound | `cd:request` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | `drive-mesh` (decides what to serve) |
| Inbound | `cd:response` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | `drive-mesh` (verifies + stores) |
| Inbound | `cd:advertise` | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | `drive-mesh` (updates peer-index) |
`network-plugin-content-delivery` does not parse the bitsets or verify signatures. It is a forwarder + redundancy enforcer. All chunk-level intelligence lives in `drive-mesh` + `drive-plugin-chunks`.
---
## 10. Bitpacker package usage map
| Concern | Package |
|---|---|
| Bitset encode/decode (presence, request) | `@suaveplan/bitpacker-compressed` |
| Envelope schema validation | `@suaveplan/bitpacker-schema` |
| On-wire framing | `@suaveplan/bitpacker-network` |
| Streaming for large responses | `@suaveplan/bitpacker-streaming` |
| Future: delta-encoded advertisements | `@suaveplan/bitpacker-delta` (when generation diffs become large) |
The codecs are interoperable — a bitset encoded by `bitpacker-compressed` is decoded the same way regardless of which sub-package framed the envelope.
---
## 11. Test contract
The `drive-mesh-protocol-v1` change folder will ship these conformance tests:
- `tests/three-form-roundtrip.test.ts` — every `ChunkRequest` form roundtrips through encode/decode.
- `tests/bitset-rle.test.ts` — fast-check property: encode(decode(x)) = x for random bitsets.
- `tests/generation-monotonic.test.ts` — out-of-order advertisements drop correctly.
- `tests/piggyback-presence.test.ts` — receiving a `cd:response` updates peer-index without a separate `cd:advertise`.
- `tests/trust-decay.test.ts` — repeatedly-advertising-but-not-delivering peer loses trust score predictably.
- `tests/cap-respected.test.ts` — `maxChunks` is honored by responders.

# Drive Plugins
The drive core does five things: lifecycle, path resolution, the two indexes, the middleware chain, and capability fallbacks. Everything else is a plugin.
This document is the catalogue of plugins (shipped, planned, and conventional) and how they compose.
## The plugin contract
```ts
interface DrivePlugin {
readonly name: string;
readonly hooks: Record<string, PluginHook>;
readonly priority?: number; // higher first
}
type PluginHook = (context: unknown, next: NextFunction) => Promise<unknown>;
```
Plugins register hooks against operation names — `drive:read`, `drive:write`, `drive:delete`, `drive:stat`, `drive:list`, `drive:initialize`, `drive:dispose`. Hooks run in priority order (high → low) on the request path, then the same order in reverse on the response path. A hook can:
- transform the args before delegating (`await next()`),
- transform the result after delegating,
- short-circuit by *not* calling `next()` and returning a value directly,
- throw, propagating up the chain.
`useMiddleware(mw)` is a thin sugar for a plugin whose only hook is the universal `drive:*` interceptor.
## Plugin catalogue
| Plugin | Status | Responsibility |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `chunks` (`@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks`) | **shipped** | Splits files into signed, encrypted chunks. Owns the `manifest`. Owns layout selection (sparse-file vs chunk-keys). |
| `sharing` (`@suaveplan/drive-sharing`) | pending — `main` | Partition-based access control. Envelope encryption. Grant/revoke/rotate. |
| `react-sharing` (`@suaveplan/drive-react-sharing`) | pending — `main` | React UI for the sharing engine — `<ShareDialog>`, `<PartitionBadge>`, `useSharing()`. |
| `mesh` (`@suaveplan/drive-mesh`) | planned (genesis-original) | Per-file chunk scheduling: which peer to ask for which chunk. Bitset advertisement. Per-peer scoring. |
| `transport-https` (`@suaveplan/drive-transport-https`) | planned (genesis-original) | HTTPS chunk transport — server fallback when WebRTC isn't available. `GET /v1/chunks/<fileId>/<chunkId>` with Range. |
| `transport-webrtc` (`@suaveplan/drive-transport-webrtc`) | planned (genesis-original) | WebRTC datachannel chunk transport — browser↔browser. `[uint32 BE frameLen][uint8 frameType][payload]` framing. |
| `webrtc` (`@suaveplan/drive-webrtc`) | pending — `main` | A pre-packaged "browser drive" plugin: chunks + transport-webrtc + signalling, in one. |
| `cache` (`@suaveplan/cache`) | shipped | Read-through cache middleware. Drop in to cache decrypted plaintext. |
| `cow` (planned) | planned | Copy-on-write versioning. Multiple `version` numbers per `fileId`. Snapshot create/restore/diff. |
| `dedup` (planned) | planned | Content-addressed dedup. Hashes content, points multiple `fileLocId`s at the same chunks. |
| `metadata` (planned, see `streams-metadata`) | planned | Side-channel metadata extraction (EXIF/MIME/audio) on every write. |
## How the chain runs end-to-end
A typical browser drive:
```ts
const drive = new Drive(opfsStorage)
.usePlugin(chunksPlugin({ chunkSize: 65536, signing: { secretKey } }))
.usePlugin(sharingPlugin({ partitions, kms }))
.usePlugin(meshPlugin({ networkNode }))
.usePlugin(transportWebrtcPlugin({ signaller }))
.useMiddleware(loggingMiddleware);
```
Registration order matters:
```text
drive.read("/photo.jpg")
│
┌────────────▼────────────┐
│ logging (pre) │
│ chunks (pre) │ load manifest
│ sharing (pre) │ unwrap envelope key
│ mesh (pre) │ prepare peer scoring
│ transport (pre) │ open peer connections
└────────────┬────────────┘
▼
storage.get
│
┌────────────▼────────────┐
│ transport (post)│ fetch missing chunks via WebRTC
│ mesh (post) │ reassemble
│ sharing (post) │ decrypt envelope
│ chunks (post) │ verify+decrypt+concat
│ logging (post) │ log duration
└────────────┬────────────┘
▼
Uint8Array
```
Each layer is independent. Strip any one and the layers above keep working — `mesh` without `transport-webrtc` falls back to `transport-https`; `sharing` without `mesh` works on a single-node drive; `chunks` without `mesh` works with no network at all.
## Cross-layer ownership boundaries
The genesis design is meticulous about which layer owns what. The `drive-network-integration` change folder ([proposal](../../openspec/changes/drive-network-integration/proposal.md)) is the canonical resolution document; the summary is:
| Concern | Owner | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Peer identity & lifecycle | `network-plugin-registry` | Peers exist independent of files; one registry per mesh. |
| Per-file chunk-availability bitsets | `drive-mesh` | Specific to a file's manifest; doesn't belong in the generic registry. |
| Per-file chunk scheduling (which peer to ask, in what order) | `drive-mesh` | Highly file-specific; uses peer health from registry but decides locally. |
| Mesh-wide chunk redundancy (N copies, prefetch, integrity) | `network-plugin-content-delivery` | Cuts across files; lives at the network layer because it's about peers, not files. |
| Cross-mesh forwarding for chunks | `network-plugin-relay` | Same as message relay; a chunk request is just another envelope. |
The interaction is event-driven via `NetworkBus`:
- `peer:joined` / `peer:left` / `peer:updated` from `network-plugin-registry`.
- `cd:advertise` from `drive-mesh` (this drive has these chunks).
- `cd:request` from `drive-mesh` (this drive needs this chunk).
- `cd:response` from `network-plugin-content-delivery` (here it is).
That keeps `drive-mesh` blissfully unaware of *which* transport is fetching the chunk; it just listens for `cd:response`.
## Conventions for writing a new plugin
1. **No drive imports.** Use `DrivePlugin`, `MiddlewareHandler`, and `MiddlewareContext` from `@suaveplan/types`. Never import `Drive` itself — that creates a circular dep.
2. **Idempotent install.** A plugin's install hook may run more than once if a drive is reinitialized. Track state on the plugin instance, not in module scope.
3. **Reverse dispose.** If your plugin allocates anything (sockets, workers, watchers), free it in `drive:dispose`. The drive guarantees this hook runs in reverse-registration order, so plugins added later get to clean up first.
4. **Surface errors as `DriveError`.** Wrap thrown errors as `DriveError(DRIVE.PLUGIN_FAILED, { cause })` so consumers see one error type at the boundary.
5. **Use `@suaveplan/types` for backend-agnostic capabilities.** If you need to know what the storage can do, read `storage.capabilities`. If you need to know what the network can do, read it through `NetworkBus` capability events. Don't hardcode.
## Why this is split, not a fat library
A drive that runs in a browser without WebRTC just doesn't install the WebRTC plugin. A server drive in a single-node deployment doesn't install `mesh`. A test drive doesn't install any plugin at all and uses `MemoryStorage` directly. None of those configurations cost extra bytes or extra surface area, because the core knows nothing about chunks, peers, or partitions — it just runs whatever middleware you registered.
This is the genesis bet: composability over completeness. The `enterprise-drive` monolith design tried the other way and ended up with a 2 MB package that imports half the platform on the import line. The split keeps every drive minimal.

# Network
The **network** layer is the resilient, tiered, plugin-driven mesh that lets every drive in a deployment talk to every other drive — and keeps them talking when the central server goes away.
The user's framing: *"a resilient tiered network system where if the server goes down, it's all in place with meshed pockets of users with their nominated hosts / those hosts on a tier nominate their tier host."*
That is what this layer is. The canonical capability spec is the largest spec in the monorepo: [`openspec/specs/network/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/network/spec.md) — 125 numbered requirements (`NET-01..NET-125`) covering plugins, transports, sessions, governance, partitions, relay, content delivery, and four hosting models.
## Documents in this folder

## One-paragraph summary
`NetworkNode` is the single entry-point: it owns a `NetworkBus` for typed pub/sub, a `MessageRouter` for envelope delivery, a transport pool, and a plugin chain. Every feature the network provides is a plugin; the core does plugin lifecycle (`install → start → stop → dispose`) and message routing, nothing else. Plugins talk to each other only via bus topics — no direct imports — so any plugin can be replaced or removed without touching the others. The result is a network that scales from a single in-process node (using `MemoryTransport`) to a worldwide tiered mesh (using `WebRTC`/`WebSocket`/`HTTPS` transports with relay, partition handling, circuit breakers, and a server bridge). Every message is signed with the sender's Ed25519 key. Every host election produces a server-attested capability token. Every cross-mesh hop is loop-detected and TTL-bounded. When the server vanishes, the mesh keeps running on signed tokens with grace-period extensions and buffers signed log entries until it returns.
## The bet
The bet is that **plugin composition** beats **monolithic protocol**. Instead of one giant network library that does everything, the genesis design has 21 small plugins each owning exactly one concern, talking only through `NetworkBus`. Add `network-plugin-relay` and you can hop across meshes; remove it and you can't. Add `network-plugin-content-delivery` and you have P2P chunks; remove it and you're a control-plane-only mesh. This is what makes the same `NetworkNode` work as a phone-to-phone WebRTC pair, a server-anchored corporate mesh, or a worldwide tiered overlay.
## Reading order

# Network Architecture
Canonical capability spec: [`openspec/specs/network/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/network/spec.md) (`NET-01..NET-125`).
## The five core abstractions
| Abstraction | Role | Spec |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `NetworkPlugin` | The universal extension contract every plugin implements | NET-01 |
| `NetworkNode` | The single entry-point — owns lifecycle, bus, router, transports | NET-02 |
| `MessageEnvelope` | Typed wire format for every message | NET-03 |
| `Transport` | The contract every transport plugin satisfies | NET-04 |
| `NetworkBus` | The cross-plugin event broker (no plugin imports another plugin) | NET-05 |
These are the only five things `network-core` ships. Everything else — even WebRTC — is a plugin.
## `NetworkPlugin` (NET-01)
```ts
interface NetworkPlugin {
readonly name: string;
install(node: NetworkNode): Promise<void> | void;
start(): Promise<void> | void;
stop(): Promise<void> | void;
dispose?(): Promise<void> | void;
}
```
Lifecycle is strict: `install → start → ... → stop → dispose`. The core calls them in that order; plugins must be idempotent across `start`/`stop` (you can restart without disposing). **Plugins do not import each other.** Cross-plugin communication goes through `NetworkBus`.
## `NetworkNode` (NET-02)
```ts
class NetworkNode {
use(plugin: NetworkPlugin): this;
start(): Promise<void>;
stop(): Promise<void>;
send(targetId: PeerId, envelope: MessageEnvelope): Promise<void>;
broadcast(envelope: MessageEnvelope): Promise<void>;
on<E extends NetworkEvents>(event: E, handler: Handler<E>): () => void;
readonly bus: NetworkBus;
readonly router: MessageRouter;
bootstrap(options: BootstrapOptions): Promise<void>; // NET-113
}
```
The node owns plugin lifecycle, transport pool, and message routing. Sending is transport-agnostic — the node hands the envelope to whichever active transport can reach the target peer.
## `MessageEnvelope` (NET-03)
```ts
interface MessageEnvelope {
id: string; // unique
type: string; // e.g. 'cd:request', 'election:vote'
senderId: PeerId;
targetId: PeerId | "*"; // "*" = broadcast
payload: Uint8Array; // already-encoded; protocol plugin handles serialisation
timestamp: number; // injectable Clock
headers: Record<string, string>;
}
```
Validated via Zod before routing. The 13-byte binary header from `network-plugin-protocol` (`NET-15`) prefixes this when serialising for the wire: `version(1) | flags(1) | messageType(1) | timestamp(8) | payloadLength(2)`.
## `Transport` (NET-04)
```ts
interface Transport {
connect(peerId: PeerId, address: string): Promise<void>;
disconnect(peerId: PeerId): Promise<void>;
send(peerId: PeerId, envelope: MessageEnvelope): Promise<void>;
onMessage(handler: (env: MessageEnvelope) => void): () => void;
getConnectedPeers(): PeerId[];
}
```
Concrete transports: WebRTC (`network-plugin-webrtc`), WebSocket (`network-websockets`), HTTPS (planned), libp2p (`network-libp2p` — pending), Hyperswarm (`network-hyperswarm` — pending), Trystero (`network-discovery-trystero` — pending), GunDB (`network-discovery-gundb` — pending), MemoryTransport (test-only, in `network-testing`).
`network-plugin-transport-manager` (NET-23..NET-26) maintains multiple active transports per peer simultaneously, exchanges capability bitmaps during handshake (NET-24), and routes messages by priority across them (NET-25). CRITICAL messages may go redundantly across two transports; BULK uses backpressure-aware selection.
## `NetworkBus` (NET-05)
Typed pub/sub with FIFO delivery, bounded-queue backpressure, and interceptor support. Topics are constants from the frozen `NetworkEvents` enum (NET-55):
```text
node:created, node:connected, node:disconnected, node:updated, node:removed,
message:sent, message:received, message:routed, message:dropped,
hierarchy:changed, hierarchy:parent-changed, hierarchy:child-added, ...,
plugin:registered, plugin:unregistered,
peer:joined, peer:left, peer:updated, peer:latency,
transport:connected, transport:disconnected,
election:vote, election:completed, election:cancelled,
failover:triggered, failover:completed,
topology:changed, latency:rebalance,
cd:advertise, cd:request, cd:response,
partition:detected, partition:healed,
qos:congestion, monitor:alert, system:error
```
Plugins subscribe; plugins publish; the bus enforces ordering and backpressure. **No plugin ever imports another plugin's code.** That is the wire that lets `network-suite` compose 21 plugins without circular deps.
## `MessageRouter`
Owns:
- Per-message type → handler dispatch.
- TTL decrement (`NET-58`); drop when `ttl <= 0`.
- Loop detection via `visitedNodes` header (`NET-58`).
- Broadcast deduplication via `messageId` bloom filter.
- Route caching for frequently-used `(source, target) → nextHop` mappings (`NET-59`); invalidated on `topology:changed`.
## How a plugin actually talks to another plugin
Concrete example — `drive-mesh` wants a chunk from a peer:
```text
drive-mesh.fetchChunk(fileId, chunkId)
↓
networkNode.bus.publish('cd:request', { fileId, chunkId, requesterId })
↓
network-plugin-content-delivery.onCdRequest(...)
↓
resolves a peer holding the chunk via gossip index
↓
networkNode.send(holderPeerId, { type: 'cd:fetch', payload: { fileId, chunkId } })
↓
(transport-manager picks WebRTC, WebSocket, or HTTPS based on capability negotiation)
↓
holder runs network-plugin-content-delivery.onCdFetch and sends back chunk bytes
↓
networkNode.bus.publish('cd:response', { fileId, chunkId, bytes })
↓
drive-mesh.onCdResponse(...) → verify sig + AEAD via chunks plugin → return to caller
```
Three plugins coordinated; none imported any other; all communication via bus topics. Replace `network-plugin-content-delivery` with a different chunk-distribution implementation and the rest of the chain doesn't notice.
## `BootstrapOptions` (NET-113, NET-114)
```ts
interface BootstrapOptions {
mode: 'cold' | 'warm';
initialPeers?: PeerAddress[];
bootstrapServers?: string[];
connectionConcurrency?: number;
discoveryTimeout?: number;
prioritizeLocalNetwork?: boolean;
}
```
`NetworkNode.bootstrap(options)` brings up the node from a clean state — does discovery, opens initial connections, and (with `ConnectionPreWarmer`) pre-opens transports to known peers before they are needed.
## `PluginRegistry` and `PluginDiscovery` (NET-116)
```ts
class PluginRegistry {
register(plugin: NetworkPlugin): void;
unregister(name: string): void;
has(name: string): boolean;
get(name: string): NetworkPlugin | undefined;
list(): NetworkPlugin[];
}
class PluginDiscovery {
findPluginsByCapability(capability: string): NetworkPlugin[];
}
```
Runtime plugin discovery and registration — the same pattern the rest of the monorepo uses (storage factory, db factory, etc.).
## `TransportTester` PDK (NET-115)
Third-party transport plugins are validated by a conformance harness:
```ts
class TransportTester {
testBasicFunctionality(transport: Transport): Promise<TestReport>;
testReliability(transport: Transport): Promise<TestReport>;
testBackpressure(transport: Transport): Promise<TestReport>;
testReconnection(transport: Transport): Promise<TestReport>;
}
```
Anyone shipping a custom transport (e.g., a corporate VPN tunnel transport) runs `TransportTester` against it before registering with `network-plugin-transport-manager`. This is what makes "swap WebRTC for $YOUR_TRANSPORT" a one-line change.
## Why this shape
The core's job is to do **as little as possible**. It owns plugin lifecycle, the bus, the router, the envelope shape, and the transport contract — and stops. Every protocol decision (binary header layout, encryption, signing, election algorithm, partition recovery) lives in a plugin where it can be replaced.
This is the lesson the old planning corpus was groping toward but never quite landed: a "core + plugins" model where the core is genuinely small and the plugins genuinely don't depend on each other. The `network-suite` change folder finally delivers it; the canonical spec encodes it; this is the design genesis ships.

## Pending changes to consolidate (cleanup work)
There are a number of `enterprise-network-*` and `enterprise-browser-network-*` change folders that pre-date the `network-suite` reorganisation. Most are now subsumed:
| Folder | Status |
| --- | --- |
| `enterprise-network` | Rename to `network-client`; subset of features now in `network-suite`. |

| `enterprise-network-registry` | Subsumed by `network-plugin-registry` (already shipped). |
| `enterprise-network-quality` | To become `network-plugin-monitor`. |
| `enterprise-network-observability` | To become `network-plugin-monitor`. |
| `enterprise-network-rename` | A no-code change to rename `enterprise-network` → `network-client`. |
| `enterprise-network-assignment` | To become `network-plugin-assignment`. |
| `enterprise-network-standby-transport` | To become `network-plugin-transport-manager`'s standby/preemptive feature. |
| `enterprise-network-testing` | Already shipped as `@suaveplan/network-testing`. |
| `enterprise-network-transport-websockets` | Already shipped as `@suaveplan/network-transport-websockets`. |
| `enterprise-browser-network-*` | All to be consolidated under the discovery plugins or `network-transport-webrtc`. |
These folders should be reviewed, archived, or rewritten to point at the canonical `network-suite` proposals. They are clutter, not architecture.
## Critical-path order (network)
1. **Land the `enterprise-types-cross-cutting` archive** (shared with drive prerequisite).
2. **Land `network-suite` REVIEW-GAPS resolutions** (no code; just spec consolidation). Includes the rename `enterprise-network` → `network-client` and archive of the duplicate `enterprise-network-*` folders.
3. **Implement `network-plugin-crypto-messages`** — message signing is foundational for everything else.
4. **Implement `network-plugin-transport-manager`** — multi-transport orchestration. Existing webrtc + websockets transports plug in.
5. **Implement `network-plugin-session`** — sessions are the unit of group membership.
6. **Implement `network-plugin-server-bridge`** — enables `SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER` model. Brings hosting-model selection into the mesh.
7. **Implement `network-plugin-auth`** — token issuance + cross-mesh trust.
8. **Implement `network-plugin-relay`** — cross-mesh hops.
9. **Implement `network-plugin-content-delivery`** — drive's bus consumer.
10. **Implement `network-plugin-audit-mesh`** — signed logs.
11. **Implement `network-plugin-partition` + `network-plugin-circuit-breaker` + `network-plugin-qos` + `network-plugin-migration`**. Resilience tier.
12. **Implement `network-plugin-state`, `network-plugin-monitor`, `network-plugin-simulation`, `network-plugin-middleware`**. Operational tier.
13. **Port the discovery plugins** in any order — they feed `network-plugin-registry`.
Steps 3–4 are blocking; the rest can parallelise within their tier.
## Test debt to inherit / avoid
The `docs/old-network-planning/` folder has several files documenting real test-isolation bugs in the main-branch network code: shared `MemoryTransport._instances`, singleton `TimerController`, real `setTimeout` in time-sensitive tests, voting history not cleared between tests. The genesis fix is structural:
- `MemoryTransport` from `@suaveplan/network-testing` is per-test (no static registry).
- `FakeClock` from `@suaveplan/testing` is the only timer source.
- Each `NetworkNode` is fresh per test.
- All integration tests use `@suaveplan/testing-integration` fixtures (parallel-start, reverse-stop, idempotent teardown).
Don't re-import the old test patterns when porting. Use the genesis testing infrastructure.
## Related cross-cutting work
- `enterprise-streams-redesign` — `BaseTransform`, `CryptoTransform`, `BaseDuplexStream`, `NetworkStreamImpl`. Required for `network-plugin-protocol`'s pipeline (CryptoTransform/compressStream) and for `drive-plugin-chunks`'s real streaming AEAD.
- `enterprise-streams-chunk-queue` — bounded backpressure-aware `ChunkQueue` bridging sync producers and async WHATWG consumers.
- `enterprise-streams-metadata` — pass-through `TransformStream` extracting MIME/EXIF/audio metadata via side-channel `metadata: Promise<ExtractedMetadata>`. Drive `metadata` plugin consumes this.

# Offline Mode and Reintegration
The mesh keeps running when the central server is unreachable. This document is the reference for how that works in detail.
The central plugin is `network-plugin-server-bridge`, governed by NET-31..NET-34 and NET-56.
## Detection (NET-31)
Tier 0 hosts maintain a persistent WebSocket to the central server with bidirectional heartbeats. The server-bridge declares the server `dead` within 2× the heartbeat interval after the last successful heartbeat. Standard verification rules apply (re-ping through alternate paths; consensus among multiple Tier 0 hosts) to avoid declaring a dead server on a transient blip.
## Autonomous operation (NET-32)
Once the server is declared dead, the mesh transitions to autonomous mode. The transitions are:
| Subsystem | Online → Offline |
| --- | --- |
| Token grace periods | extended by configurable factor (e.g., expiresAt += 24h) |
| New mesh / session creation | paused; new requests rejected |
| New peer admission | requires a still-valid pre-issued `CapabilityToken`; raw onboarding paused |
| Audit-log finalisation | local append continues; finalisation deferred |
| Audit-log replication to server | buffered |
| Cross-mesh trust | existing `MeshTrustToken`s remain valid; new ones cannot be issued |
| Topology, failover, elections | unchanged — fully client-side |
| Drive read/write | unchanged — every operation is signed by drive identity, verifiable later |
The bus emits `server:disconnected` so plugins can react. Most plugins do nothing — they don't depend on the server. Plugins that *do* depend on the server (server-bridge, auth, audit-mesh) flip into offline mode.
## What gets buffered (NET-32)
Three buffer streams, all in local storage (typically `OpfsStorage` in the browser, `FileStorage` on a server peer):
1. **Pending audit-log entries** — every signed log entry that would have been finalised by the server.
2. **Pending token-issuance requests** — operations the user attempted that need a server-signed token.
3. **Pending mesh state deltas** — bitpacker-encoded registry/topology deltas that the server would have authoritatively reconciled.
All three streams are append-only and signed by the issuing peer. Storage is bounded; on overflow, the oldest *non-CRITICAL* entries are dropped first. CRITICAL entries are never dropped — if the buffer is full of CRITICAL, the system surfaces an error and refuses to accept more until the user clears space (or the server returns).
## Reconnection (NET-33)
When the server-bridge re-establishes the WebSocket, the reconciliation pipeline runs:
```text
1. Handshake
Server-bridge sends its mesh-bridge identity and the highest seq the server has.
Server replies with the seq it expects.
2. Replay buffered entries in seq order
For each:
a. Server verifies Ed25519 signature against the issuing peer's pubkey.
b. Server checks for conflicts with other partitions' replays.
c. On accept: append to authoritative log, advance seq.
d. On conflict: invoke partition merge protocol (NET-80, NET-81).
3. Process pending token requests
For each queued request:
a. Re-validate authorization (the issuer may no longer be eligible).
b. Issue server-signed token.
c. Notify the requesting peer via bus.
4. Reconcile state
Server broadcasts `state:reconciled { meshState, sessionStates, ... }`.
Each plugin updates its local view to match.
5. Hosting transition (model-dependent)
In SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER, the acting Tier 0 demotes; server resumes Tier 0.
In CLIENT_WITH_SERVER_BACKUP, the user remains Tier 0; the server returns to its
participant role.
6. Bus emits `server:reconnected` and `mesh:reconciled`.
Suspended operations (new mesh creation, etc.) resume.
```
The replay is idempotent: replaying an already-finalised entry is a no-op (the server tracks `(peerId, seq)` to dedupe). This means a flaky reconnect that drops mid-replay can simply retry from the last acknowledged seq.
## Conflict resolution
Two partitions running autonomously can produce conflicting state. Examples:
- Both elected a different acting Tier 0.
- Both wrote different state to the same path.
- Both admitted a peer the other doesn't know about.
The merge protocol (NET-81) reconciles using the partition `QuorumResolver` strategy (NET-80) — `size`, `performance`, `age`, or `hybrid`. Whichever partition wins becomes the authoritative source; the other partition's peers rejoin (NET-82).
For state-level conflicts that don't involve elections, `network-plugin-state` reconciliation runs (NET-42) with one of five strategies: `latest-wins`, `remote-wins`, `local-wins`, `deep-merge`, or `custom`. The strategy is configurable per state path via `PathStrategyRegistry`.
## Audit-log compaction (NET-39)
After reintegration, the audit log can grow unbounded. Compaction folds old entries into signed checkpoints:
```text
checkpoint {
seqRange: [from, to],
stateSnapshot: bitpacker-encoded snapshot at seq=to,
hostSignature: Ed25519 over (seqRange ‖ stateHash),
}
```
Replicas use the latest checkpoint to skip the entire prefix when bringing up a fresh peer. The full history remains available for forensic queries; the on-the-wire replay path skips it.
## Hosting-model interactions
| Model | What happens at server-down | What happens at server-up |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `PURE_CLIENT` | No-op — there's no server to lose. | No-op. |
| `SERVER_BASED` | Mesh stops. Operations queue locally; users see "offline" UI. | Replay queue drains; mesh resumes. |
| `SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER` | Election promotes Tier 1 → acting Tier 0. Mesh continues with full operations except new-token issuance. | Acting Tier 0 demotes; server resumes. Buffered log replays. |
| `CLIENT_WITH_SERVER_BACKUP` | User remains Tier 0; mesh continues normally. The server is "missing" but it wasn't authoritative anyway. | Server rejoins as participant. Buffered log replays. |
The mesh token (NET-29) carries the model, so the server-bridge knows which transitions to run.
## Common pitfalls and how the design avoids them
| Pitfall | Avoidance |
| --- | --- |
| Replay stuck on a single bad entry | Server processes entries individually; rejects-but-continues. |
| Buffer overflow loses history | CRITICAL entries are never dropped. Surface error before silent loss. |
| Two acting Tier 0s in different partitions both finalising tokens | Tokens issued in autonomous mode have a special bit set; on merge, one partition's tokens are voided per the quorum strategy and re-issued. |
| Clock drift causes apparent expiry mid-outage | `extendedExpiresAt` is computed from the *peer's* clock, not the server's, so lack of server time doesn't cause spurious expiry. |
| Long outage ⇒ everyone's CapabilityToken expires | Grace-period extension is automatic; if the outage exceeds the configured maximum, the mesh degrades to read-only. |

# Network Plugins — Catalogue
Every concrete piece of network behaviour lives in a plugin. The core is small; the plugins are many. This document is the reference for what each plugin does, which capability spec block it satisfies, and its migration status.
The full plugin list comes from the `network-suite` meta-change ([proposal](../../openspec/changes/network-suite/proposal.md)) which orchestrates 21 child changes. Each plugin has its own change folder under `openspec/changes/network-plugin-<name>/`.

## Plugins by concern — what to install for what you need
| If you need... | Install |
| --- | --- |
| Just talk between two peers, no mesh | `network-core` + `network-plugin-webrtc` (or `network-websockets`) |
| Local-area mesh with simple roles | + `network-plugin-registry`, `network-plugin-topology`, `network-plugin-failover` |
| Resilient tiered mesh with elections | + `network-plugin-governance`, `network-plugin-session` |
| Cross-mesh forwarding (peer-to-peer-across-different-meshes) | + `network-plugin-relay`, `network-plugin-auth` |
| Partition tolerance | + `network-plugin-partition`, `network-plugin-circuit-breaker` |
| Backpressure-aware transport switching | + `network-plugin-transport-manager`, `network-plugin-qos` |
| Verified message authenticity | + `network-plugin-crypto-messages` |
| Server failover (`SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER`) | + `network-plugin-server-bridge` |
| Audit trail | + `network-plugin-audit-mesh` |
| Drive chunk distribution over the mesh | + `network-plugin-content-delivery` (drive-mesh consumes its bus events) |
| Production observability | + `network-plugin-monitor` |
| Deterministic mesh testing | + `network-plugin-simulation` |
| Smooth peer migration during rebalances | + `network-plugin-migration`, `network-plugin-assignment` |
| Pluggable middleware | + `network-plugin-middleware` |
| State sync with conflict resolution | + `network-plugin-state` |
You don't have to install all 21. Most production deployments install ~10. Test deployments often install three (core + memory transport + registry).
## A note on the `enterprise-network` vs `network-core` collision
`network-suite` REVIEW-GAPS resolved a package-name collision: there were two proposals targeting `@suaveplan/network`. The resolution was to rename `enterprise-network` (which was a different angle entirely — a high-level network *client* abstraction) to `@suaveplan/network-client`, leaving `@suaveplan/network` to mean the genesis plugin core. If you encounter old references to `enterprise-network`, treat them as historical and read `network-core` instead.

# Network Security and Tokens
The genesis network has three orthogonal layers of cryptographic enforcement:
1. **Identity** — every peer has a stable Ed25519 identity. Every message is signed.
2. **Authority** — server-signed tokens grant a peer the right to do specific things in a specific mesh/session.
3. **Trust** — cross-mesh interactions require a `MeshTrustToken` that establishes one mesh's willingness to accept envelopes from another.
This document is the reference for all three.
## Layer 1 — Message-level integrity (NET-27, NET-30)
`network-plugin-crypto-messages` is the layer.
### Per-message Ed25519 signatures (NET-27)
Every outbound `MessageEnvelope` from a host (Tier 0 or Tier 1) carries an Ed25519 signature in its headers. Inbound signatures are verified using peer public keys from the registry. Invalid signatures cause the message to be **dropped silently** (and the sender's reputation in `HostHistory` to take a hit).
The key material is the same drive-identity key used by the chunks plugin — one Ed25519 keypair per peer, used at multiple layers. Generated and stored by `@suaveplan/crypto-vault` (BIP39 mnemonic + Argon2id KDF + zeroize on lock).
### Peer identity challenge-response (NET-30)
When two peers handshake, they perform a challenge-response to verify identity:
```text
A → B: peerA_pubkey, nonceA
B → A: peerB_pubkey, nonceB, sigB(peerA_pubkey ‖ nonceA)
A → B: sigA(peerB_pubkey ‖ nonceB)
```
Any peer claiming `peerB_pubkey` who can't produce `sigB(...)` is rejected. This catches spoofed peer-IDs at handshake before they make it into the registry.
## Layer 2 — Authority tokens (NET-28, NET-29, NET-106..NET-109)
Three token shapes, all server-signed (in models with a server):
### `MeshToken` (NET-29)
```ts
interface MeshToken {
meshId: string;
maxCapacity: number;
allowedTiers: ('tier-0' | 'tier-1' | 'tier-2')[];
hostingModel: 'PURE_CLIENT' | 'SERVER_BASED' | 'SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER' | 'CLIENT_WITH_SERVER_BACKUP';
expiresAt: number;
serverSignature: Uint8Array; // Ed25519 over canonicalSerialize(this without the sig)
}
```
Required for mesh creation. The mesh's hosting model lives here. Long expiry (days/weeks).
### `SessionToken` (NET-28)
```ts
interface SessionToken {
sessionId: string;
parentSessionId: string | null;
capacity: number;
rulesHash: string; // hash of the session's policy doc
expiresAt: number;
serverSignature: Uint8Array;
}
```
Required for session creation. Sessions can nest (NET-19) up to depth 4. The `rulesHash` pins the session's policy at issuance time so it can't be silently mutated.
### `CapabilityToken` (NET-108, NET-109)
```ts
interface CapabilityToken {
peerId: string;
meshId: string;
tier: 'tier-0' | 'tier-1' | 'tier-2';
capabilities: string[]; // e.g. ['relay', 'vote', 'admit-peer']
issuedAt: number;
expiresAt: number;
serverSignature: Uint8Array;
}
```
Issued when a peer joins. The `capabilities` array constrains what the peer is *authorised* to do regardless of what the protocol allows it to *attempt*. A Tier-0 capability token includes `admit-peer`; a Tier-2 doesn't. Cross-tier escalation is blocked at the verifier (NET-48).
`network-plugin-auth` (NET-106..NET-109) is the enforcement plugin. `MeshMembershipVerifier` checks the `authToken` on join against `@suaveplan/auth`. `CapabilityTokenIssuer` mints them. `CrossMeshTrustValidator` (NET-110..NET-112) handles inter-mesh acceptance.
### Tier-specific security policies (NET-48)
```text
Tier 0 — full authority. Can issue tokens (when server isn't available, with grace-period restrictions).
Tier 1 — relay + voting authority. Cannot issue tokens.
Tier 2 — read-only for sensitive operations.
```
`SecurityManager.processTierSecurity(tierId, operation, data)` enforces this on every operation. Cross-tier delegation requires explicit credential transfer from the higher tier.
## Layer 3 — Cross-mesh trust (NET-110..NET-112)
`MeshTrustToken` is what one mesh hands another mesh to say "I'll accept your relay traffic":
```ts
interface MeshTrustToken {
fromMeshId: string;
toMeshId: string;
allowedOperations: string[]; // e.g. ['relay-message', 'cd:request']
bandwidthQuotaPerHour?: number;
expiresAt: number;
bothServerSignatures: [Uint8Array, Uint8Array]; // signed by both meshes' Tier 0
}
```
`CrossMeshTrustValidator` rejects relay envelopes from untrusted mesh ids (NET-110). Tier 0 hosts verify trust tokens before accepting backbone connections (NET-112). Trust decisions are cached with configurable TTL (NET-111) so we don't re-verify on every envelope.
This means a phone-mesh and a corporate-mesh don't automatically interoperate. Two Tier 0 hosts must explicitly establish trust (out of band: typically via a co-signed token issued by both servers, or via a bilateral capability exchange in `PURE_CLIENT` mode).
## Plugin security verifier (NET-47)
`network-plugin-crypto-messages` also validates plugins themselves:
```ts
class PluginSecurityVerifier {
verifyPlugin(pluginId: string, pluginData: Uint8Array): Promise<boolean>;
authorizePluginOperation(pluginId, operation, context?): Promise<boolean>;
monitorPluginActivity(pluginId): void;
setPluginSecurityPolicy(policy): void;
}
```
The intent is plugin-code signing: a deployment may want to allow only plugins signed by a known publisher key. Plugins requesting capabilities they didn't declare are rejected. Anomalous plugin activity (excessive broadcast, unauthorised operations) is detected and reported.
The old planning corpus admits (`PHASE_6_README.md`) that the resource-monitoring side of this is "currently simulated and would need real metrics in a production environment." Genesis treats it as a hardening backlog item — install the plugin, get signature verification today; resource accounting follows.
## What about the model where the server is gone?
Tokens issued before the server vanished remain valid until their `expiresAt`. `network-plugin-server-bridge` (NET-32) extends grace periods so existing tokens don't expire mid-outage. New tokens cannot be issued — operations that require a fresh token (admit a brand-new peer, create a new session) are queued until the server returns. Existing peers, with valid `CapabilityToken`s, keep operating with full authority.
When the server returns:
1. Buffered signed-log entries replay (NET-33).
2. The server validates each entry's Ed25519 signature against the issuing peer's pubkey.
3. Conflicts are detected (e.g., two peers both claimed Tier-0 in different partitions). Resolution depends on the partition merge strategy (NET-80).
4. The server broadcasts the reconciled state.
5. Queued token-issuance operations execute.
The cryptographic chain — every message signed, every token signed, every audit-log entry signed — is what makes this replay possible. There's no ambiguity about who did what; every action is provenance-stamped.
## Audit log (NET-37..NET-39)
`network-plugin-audit-mesh` keeps an append-only log where each entry includes:
```text
{ seq, prevHash, payload, hostSignature }
```
- `seq` is monotonic.
- `prevHash` makes the log a hash chain — break detection on any tampering.
- `hostSignature` is the issuing host's Ed25519 over `(seq, prevHash, payload)`.
Logs are replicated to at least R sibling hosts (NET-38). CRITICAL events replicate synchronously. Old logs are compacted into signed checkpoints (NET-39) — a snapshot at a given seq, signed by the host, that downstream replicas use to skip the prefix.
This is what gives you a verifiable audit trail across the entire mesh, surviving partitions and server outages.
## Where keys live, end to end
| Key | Owner | Storage | Used for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Per-peer Ed25519 (drive identity) | The peer | `@suaveplan/crypto-vault` | Signing every message, every chunk, every audit entry |
| Per-mesh server Ed25519 | Central server | Server HSM / `@suaveplan/keys` (when available) | Signing `MeshToken`, `SessionToken`, `CapabilityToken` |
| Cross-mesh trust signing | Both meshes' servers | As above | Co-signing `MeshTrustToken` |
| Per-file `fileKey` (AEAD) | Drive | Wrapped by partition KEK; lives next to manifest | Encrypting chunks |
| Per-partition KEK | `drive-sharing` | Wrapped per-grantee with X25519 sealed-box | Wrapping `fileKey`s |
Keys never cross trust boundaries unwrapped. Wrapping is the only mechanism for delegation.

# Topology, Tiers, Meshed Pockets, and Failover
The user's framing — verbatim — was: *"a resilient tiered network system where if the server goes down, it's all in place with meshed pockets of users with their nominated hosts / those hosts on a tier nominate their tier host."*
This is the document for that. It is the load-bearing piece of the network design.
## The tier model (NET-11, NET-49, NET-122)
Every peer occupies exactly one of three tiers at any moment:
| Tier | Role | Authority | Sibling mesh |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Tier 0** — Host | Top of the local mesh. Sends/receives from the central server (when present). | Token issuance, peer admission, log finalisation. | Other Tier 0 hosts (cross-mesh peers). |
| **Tier 1** — Sub-host | Aggregator for a group of leaves. Relay between Tier 0 and Tier 2. | Vote in elections, relay messages, no token issuance. | Other Tier 1 sub-hosts in the same mesh. |
| **Tier 2** — Leaf | Regular client. Speaks only to its assigned Tier 1 (and laterally to other Tier 2 in its session). | Read-only for sensitive ops. | Other Tier 2 in the same session pocket. |
`network-plugin-topology` owns this. Promotion/demotion is automatic, based on capability scores (latency, uptime, reliability, device profile from NET-49) and group-size limits. Peers MUST meet a stability threshold and a cooldown (`network-plugin-topology` NET-52) to prevent thrashing.
**Tier depth is dynamic.** A 5-node mesh runs flat (everyone Tier 0/Tier 2; no sub-host). A 5,000-node mesh runs three-tier with hundreds of Tier 1 sub-hosts. The topology plugin adapts depth based on size; collapsing or expanding tiers as needed (`AdaptiveTierDepth`).
## The four hosting models (NET-56)
`network-plugin-server-bridge` lets a deployment pick how clients and the central server interact:
| Model | Behaviour |
| --- | --- |
| **`PURE_CLIENT`** | No central server. Mesh is fully autonomous. A user creates a session and acts as Tier 0 host. Subsequent users join, get assigned Tier 1/Tier 2 by topology, and the host slot transfers via election when the host leaves. |
| **`SERVER_BASED`** | Server is always Tier 0. All clients are Tier 1 or Tier 2. Server enforces permissions, holds authoritative state, issues all tokens. If the server disconnects, the mesh **stops** (this model trades resilience for auditability). |
| **`SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER`** | Server is Tier 0 while online. On disconnect, an election promotes the strongest Tier 1 to acting Tier 0, the mesh continues, and on server reconnect the server smoothly reintegrates as Tier 0. **This is the model that matches your user request.** |
| **`CLIENT_WITH_SERVER_BACKUP`** | A user is Tier 0; the server joins as a participant (typically Tier 1). If the user disconnects or becomes unsuitable, hosting can transfer to the server. Hybrid authority — server provides persistence, client provides agency. |
The model is selected at mesh creation and affects election behaviour, token authority, and reconciliation direction. The mesh token (NET-29) carries it.
## Meshed pockets
A "pocket" is a group of peers that can talk to each other without going through Tier 0. Pockets emerge from two structural primitives:
1. **Sibling links at every tier.** A Tier 1 sub-host has up to 10 sibling Tier 1 sub-hosts in the same mesh. A Tier 2 leaf has up to N session-mates (capped per-session, NET-22). When a tier above goes silent, a pocket continues to function via siblings.
2. **Session trees** (NET-18..NET-22). The mesh organises peers into sessions — typed groupings (a video call, a shared drive, a multiplayer game). A pocket is, concretely, the peers in one leaf session plus that session's host. Sessions can nest up to depth 4; child sessions inherit read-only state from parents.
If the central server vanishes:
- Each Tier 0 host keeps running its mesh autonomously (modulo authority limits — see below).
- Each Tier 1 keeps relaying for its Tier 2 leaves.
- Each session pocket keeps gossiping among its members.
- Cross-pocket traffic is brokered by `network-plugin-relay` over the Tier 0 backbone (or, if Tier 0 is also gone in a partition, via the elected acting Tier 0).
Nothing about pocket operation requires the server. The server is needed only for the *authoritative* operations the mesh declines to do without it.
## Host election — how peers nominate hosts (NET-08, NET-118, NET-119)
`network-plugin-governance` runs elections. The algorithm is:
1. **Collect candidates** — peers eligible by capability/stability threshold.
2. **Score each candidate** — `HostSelector` (NET-118) does weighted multi-factor evaluation:
- Latency (EMA of measured RTT to other peers).
- Stability (jitter + packet loss).
- Uptime (since last reconnect).
- Capabilities (CPU, bandwidth, NAT type).
- **Trust score** — historical performance from `HostHistory` (NET-119), which keeps an append-only record of successful/unsuccessful hosting sessions per peer.
3. **Vote** — `VotingManager` collects votes via the bus; configurable participation threshold and consensus requirement.
4. **Tie-break** — lowest lexicographic peerId wins.
5. **Publish** — `election:completed { winnerId, term }` on the bus.
Three modes (NET-08): `metric` (pure score), `direct` (assigned by Tier 0), `hybrid` (score-suggested + Tier 0-confirmed).
Each session also runs its own host election independently of the mesh Tier 0 host (NET-20). One peer can host multiple sessions.
## Server failover — what happens when the server goes down
This is the resilience pipeline (`SERVER_TO_CLIENT_FAILOVER` model):
```text
1. Heartbeat timeout
`network-plugin-failover` heartbeat (NET-10): alive → suspect → dead.
`network-plugin-server-bridge` (NET-31) detects server disconnect within 2× heartbeat interval.
2. Verification
Multiple Tier 1 peers re-ping the server through alternate paths.
Avoid declaring the server dead on a single network blip.
3. Consensus
Bus topic 'server:dead' published when N Tier 1 peers agree.
4. Election
`network-plugin-governance` runs `HOST_SELECTION` among eligible Tier 1 peers.
Winning peer is promoted to Tier 0 (acting host).
5. Authority handover
Tokens issued before server-down remain valid.
New token issuance is paused (NET-32) — see "graceful degradation" below.
6. Operation continues
Each Tier 0 host keeps running its mesh autonomously.
Cross-mesh traffic uses `network-plugin-relay` Tier 0 backbone (NET-62).
7. Server returns
`network-plugin-server-bridge` reconciliation (NET-33):
- Buffered signed log entries replayed in sequence.
- Server validates signatures, detects conflicts, broadcasts reconciled state.
- Server resumes Tier 0 (election may run to confirm — depends on hosting model).
Acting Tier 0 demotes back to Tier 1.
```
## Graceful degradation — server-vs-autonomous authority split
When the server is offline (NET-32), the mesh continues with reduced authority:
| Operation | Server present | Server offline |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Send/receive messages | ✓ | ✓ |
| Read existing files (drive layer) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Write existing files | ✓ | ✓ (signed by drive identity, verifiable later) |
| Vote in elections | ✓ | ✓ |
| Reorganise topology | ✓ | ✓ |
| Issue new mesh / session tokens | ✓ | ✗ (queued; replayed on reconnect) |
| Admit a brand-new peer | ✓ | ✗ (unless server-pre-issued capability token still valid) |
| Cross-mesh trust establishment | ✓ | ✗ (existing trust links remain valid) |
| Audit-log finalisation | ✓ | ✗ (entries are buffered, signed, replayed on reconnect) |
`network-plugin-server-bridge` extends token grace periods (NET-32) so existing tokens don't expire mid-outage. New session creation is paused. Signed log entries are buffered locally and replayed on reconnect (NET-33).
## Cross-mesh relay — connecting pockets across meshes (NET-40, NET-61..NET-70)
When a peer in Mesh A needs to send to a peer in Mesh B, `network-plugin-relay` handles it.
- `RelayRouter` maintains a routing table `(destMeshId, destPeerId) → nextHopHostId`.
- `HostBackboneTransport` connects Tier 0 hosts of different meshes (capability-negotiated).
- `CrossMeshEnvelope` extends `MessageEnvelope` with `senderMeshId`, `targetMeshId`, `hopCount`, `maxHops` (default 8), `visitedNodes`, `ttl`.
- Loop prevention is strict (NET-64..NET-66): drop on `hopCount >= maxHops`, `ttl <= 0`, or `visitedNodes` already contains current peer.
- Cross-mesh broadcast is deduplicated at mesh boundaries (NET-68).
- Relay chooses paths via `LowestLatency` / `HighestReliability` / `FewestHops` / `TierOptimized` / `LoadBalanced` strategies (NET-40).
This is what makes "meshed pockets" actually composable: a phone-mesh, a corporate-mesh, and a public-server-mesh can interoperate by establishing trust between Tier 0 hosts (NET-110, NET-112) without merging into one big mesh.
## Partition handling (NET-50, NET-78..NET-83)
A network partition splits the mesh into two or more disjoint groups, each unable to reach the others. `network-plugin-partition` handles it:
1. **Detection** — `PartitionDetector` tracks epochs from all known peers; partition declared when a majority is unreachable. Deterministic `partitionId = hash(sorted reachable peer set)`.
2. **Autonomous operation** — each partition operates with its local hierarchy. New elections within the partition fill any gaps.
3. **Quorum resolution** — when partitions heal, `QuorumResolver` (NET-80) decides the authoritative partition using one of: `size`, `performance`, `age`, `hybrid`.
4. **Merge** — `MergeProtocol` (NET-81) reconciles registry, topology, and audit state. Non-authoritative peers rejoin (NET-82). Bus events `partition:detected` / `partition:healed`.
## Resource awareness (NET-49, NET-120..NET-124)
The topology plugin adapts to device profile (`CONSTRAINED`, `STANDARD`, `POWERFUL`, `SERVER`):
- Constrained devices use `MessagePool` (NET-120) to reuse message objects.
- Zero-copy passing (NET-121) where the platform allows.
- `BatteryAwareMode` (NET-122) reduces heartbeat frequency, defers non-urgent reorganisations, lowers transport retry aggression.
- `BandwidthConservator` (NET-124) coalesces small messages, increases batching, pauses redundant CRITICAL sends.
So a phone running on battery in a constrained network drops to a lighter footprint without being kicked out of the mesh.
## Putting it all together — the resilience picture
```text
Central Server (Tier 0 of meshes M1, M2, M3)
│ (signed tokens, audit log, authoritative state)
│
┌───────────┼───────────┐
│ │ │
mesh M1 mesh M2 mesh M3
│ │ │
┌────┴────┐ ┌────┴────┐ ┌────┴────┐
│ Tier 0 │ │ Tier 0 │ │ Tier 0 │

└────┬────┘ └────┬────┘ └────┬────┘

│ Tier 1 │ │ Tier 1 │ │ Tier 1 │
│ sub-hosts ......
└────┬────┘ └────┬────┘ └────┬────┘
│ │ │
[pockets of Tier 2 leaves, organised into sessions]
When the server vanishes:
╳ Central Server ╳
(offline)
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
mesh M1 ─── relay ─── mesh M2 ─── relay ─── mesh M3
│ │
each mesh elects an acting Tier 0
each Tier 0 keeps running its mesh
each session pocket keeps gossiping
tokens issued before outage stay valid (grace period)
new token issuance queued; replayed on reconnect
signed audit-log entries buffered locally
│
server returns
│
buffered logs replayed; conflicts reconciled
acting Tier 0s demote to Tier 1
server resumes as Tier 0 of all meshes

# Network Library Architecture
This document describes the architecture and functionality of the network library, which provides a modular, extensible system for handling network connections across different transport protocols with fallback mechanisms.
## Overview
The network library is designed to provide a robust networking layer for real-time applications, particularly focusing on peer-to-peer connections with fallback mechanisms. It supports WebRTC as the primary connection method, with WebSocket and relay server fallbacks when direct connections can't be established.
Key features include:
- Multiple transport protocols (WebRTC, WebSocket, Relay)
- Connection state management
- Priority-based message queuing
- Message batching and optimization
- Network statistics tracking
- Automatic reconnection handling
- Fallback mechanism when preferred connection methods fail
## Core Components
### 1. Connection Types
Defines fundamental types, enums, and interfaces used throughout the system including:
- `ConnectionType` enum: Defines supported connection types (WEBSOCKET, WEBRTC, RELAY)
- `ConnectionState` enum: Represents connection states (CONNECTING, CONNECTED, DISCONNECTED, FAILED, RECONNECTING)
- `MessagePriority` enum: Represents message priority levels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
- `Connection` interface: Represents a network connection with properties like id, type, state, stats
- `ConnectionStats` interface: Tracks performance metrics like latency, jitter, packet loss, reliability score
### 2. Messages
Defines the structure and types for all network messages, including:
- `MessageType` enum: Defines all supported message types (CONNECT, DISCONNECT, PING, PONG, OFFER, ANSWER, ICE_CANDIDATE, etc.)
- `NetworkMessage` interface: Core message structure with type, sender, timestamp, payload, priority
- `MessagePayloads` type: Type mapping for payloads of different message types
- `MessageFactory`: Utility class for creating properly formatted messages
### 3. Base Connection
Provides the foundation for all network connections:
- Abstract `BaseConnection` class implementing core functionality:
- Connection state management
- Message priority queuing
- Network statistics tracking (latency, jitter, packet loss)
- Automatic reconnection handling
- Adaptive batch processing
- Ping/Pong heartbeat system
### 4. Base Message Handler
Provides foundational message handling functionality:
- Abstract `BaseMessageHandler` class:
- Message validation and type checking
- Message queue management
- Priority-based message processing
- Error handling and recovery
- Event emission for message lifecycle
- Batch processing capabilities
### 5. Relay Message
Specialized handling for relay-based messaging:
- `RelayMessage` class:
- Relay message encapsulation
- Message routing between peers
- Relay chain tracking
- Loop prevention
- Priority handling for relayed messages
- Relay statistics tracking
### 6. Relay Connection
Handles relay server-based connections:
- `RelayConnectionManager` class:
- Fallback connectivity for failed WebRTC connections
- Message relaying between peers
- Connection state management
- Automatic relay server selection
- Message priority handling
- Connection statistics tracking
### 7. WebRTC Connection
Implements WebRTC-specific connection handling:
- WebRTC signaling
- ICE candidate handling
- Direct peer connections
- Data channel management
- Media stream handling (if needed)
### 8. WebSocket Connection
Implements WebSocket-specific connection handling:
- Direct server connections
- Message serialization/deserialization
- Connection monitoring
- Automatic reconnection
## Architecture Relationships

│ ┌─────────────────┐
└─────────────►│RelayConnection │
└─────────────────┘
```
## Implementation Details
### Connection Management
1. When establishing connections:
- First attempt direct WebRTC connection
- If WebRTC fails, fall back to WebSocket connection
- If WebSocket is unavailable, use relay server connection
2. Connection State Machine:
- CONNECTING → Attempting to establish connection
- CONNECTED → Successfully connected
- DISCONNECTED → Connection lost
- RECONNECTING → Attempting to reestablish lost connection
- FAILED → All connection attempts failed
### Message Handling
1. Messages are processed according to priority:
- CRITICAL messages processed immediately
- HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW messages are queued for batch processing
2. Message Flow:
- Messages created through MessageFactory
- Messages added to priority queue
- Messages processed by BaseMessageHandler
- Connection-specific handlers implement sending logic
3. Message Batching:
- Related messages combined to reduce network overhead
- Batch processing interval adaptively adjusted based on network conditions
- Critical messages bypass batching
### Reliability Mechanisms
1. Automatic Reconnection:
- Connection failures trigger reconnection attempts
- Exponential backoff strategy for retry attempts
- Connection monitoring through ping/pong messages
2. Fallback Strategy:
- Preferred connection method attempted first
- On failure, fall back to next available method
- Multiple relay servers used for redundancy
3. Statistics Tracking:
- Latency, jitter, packet loss measured
- Adaptive timing based on network performance
- Connection reliability scoring
## Usage Patterns
### Basic Connection
```typescript
// Create connection manager
const connectionManager = new ConnectionManager();
// Connect to a peer
await connectionManager.connect(peerId);
// Send a message
connectionManager.sendMessage(peerId, {
type: MessageType.STATE_UPDATE,
payload: { position: { x: 100, y: 200 } }
});
// Listen for messages
connectionManager.on('message', (message) => {
console.log('Received message:', message);
});
// Disconnect
connectionManager.disconnect(peerId);
```
### Advanced Usage
```typescript
// Configure connection manager with options
const connectionManager = new ConnectionManager({
preferredConnectionType: ConnectionType.WEBRTC,
maxRetries: 5,
retryDelay: 2000,
relayServers: ['wss://relay1.example.com', 'wss://relay2.example.com']
});
// Connect with options
await connectionManager.connect(peerId, {
timeout: 10000,
metadata: { username: 'Player1' }
});
// Send prioritized message
connectionManager.sendMessage(peerId, {
type: MessageType.STATE_UPDATE,
payload: { position: { x: 100, y: 200 } },
priority: MessagePriority.HIGH
});
// Register type-specific handlers
connectionManager.on(MessageType.STATE_UPDATE, (message) => {
updateGameState(message.payload);
});
// Monitor connection quality
connectionManager.on('statistics', (stats, peerId) => {
updateNetworkIndicator(stats.latency, stats.packetLoss);
});
```
## Key Design Patterns
1. **Abstract Factory Pattern** - MessageFactory creates different types of messages
2. **Strategy Pattern** - Different connection implementations can be swapped
3. **Observer Pattern** - Event handling for connection state changes and messages
4. **Command Pattern** - Messages encapsulate operations to be performed
5. **Chain of Responsibility** - Messages processed through handlers
6. **Adapter Pattern** - Consistent interface across different connection technologies
## Testing Requirements
The library should be tested with:
- Jest tests (.test.ts) for unit testing
- Playwright tests (.spec.ts) for integration testing
Test coverage should include:
- Connection establishment and teardown
- Message sending and receiving
- Error handling and recovery
- Fallback mechanisms
- Performance under various network conditions

# Network Library Implementation Strategy
## Overview
This document clarifies how the adaptation plans should be integrated with the original phased implementation plan (PLAN.md). Since the network library appears to be in the planning stages and not fully implemented yet, the adaptations should be woven into the original implementation plan rather than executed as a separate initiative.
## Integration Approach
The original PLAN.md outlines 10 implementation phases, from environment setup to integration testing. The adaptation plans identify improvements, refinements, and additional considerations. These should be incorporated directly into the relevant phases of the original plan.
### Adaptation Integration Map
Below is a mapping of how each adaptation plan aligns with the original implementation phases:
| Original Phase | Adaptations to Incorporate |
|----------------|----------------------------|
| **Phase 0: Environment Setup** | • ADAPT_1: Standardized event system infrastructure<br>• ADAPT_1: Updated security interfaces<br>• ADAPT_3: Performance benchmarking baseline |
| **Phase 1: Core Framework and Types** | • ADAPT_1: Security integration in core classes<br>• ADAPT_2: API versioning infrastructure<br>• ADAPT_4: Internationalization foundations |
| **Phase 2: Transport Layer** | • ADAPT_2: Enhanced transport plugin framework<br>• ADAPT_2: Reference implementations<br>• ADAPT_3: Resource-aware transport optimizations |
| **Phase 2.5: Relay and Connection Fallback** | • ADAPT_2: Transport plugin discovery<br>• ADAPT_3: Connection optimization for constrained devices |
| **Phase 3: Message Routing** | • ADAPT_1: Event standardization in message handling<br>• ADAPT_3: Message routing performance optimizations |
| **Phase 4: Metrics and Host Selection** | • ADAPT_3: Resource-aware host selection<br>• ADAPT_3: Performance monitoring integration |
| **Phase 5: Tier Management** | • ADAPT_3: Cold start optimization<br>• ADAPT_4: Geographic distribution considerations |
| **Phase 6: Plugin System** | • ADAPT_1: Security plugin enhancements<br>• ADAPT_2: Plugin versioning support<br>• ADAPT_4: Plugin interaction testing |
| **Phase 7: Advanced State Management** | • ADAPT_3: Optimized state synchronization<br>• ADAPT_4: Internationalized state handling |
| **Phase 8: Monitoring and Simulation** | • ADAPT_3: Enhanced performance profiling<br>• ADAPT_5: Visualization tools |
| **Phase 9: Middleware and Serialization** | • ADAPT_2: API versioning in serialization<br>• ADAPT_4: Internationalization in serialization |
| **Phase 10: Integration Testing** | • ADAPT_4: Expanded test scenarios<br>• ADAPT_5: Developer experience tools<br>• ADAPT_5: Documentation and community resources |
## Modified Implementation Process
Rather than treating the adaptation plans as separate initiatives, we recommend the following approach:
1. **Update the Phase Plans**: Before beginning each phase, revise the phase documentation to incorporate relevant adaptations.
2. **Implement Holistically**: During implementation, treat the adaptations as integral parts of the original plan, not as add-ons or modifications.
3. **Test Against Enhanced Requirements**: Update test plans to verify both the original requirements and the adaptation enhancements.
## Specific Implementation Considerations
### Core Architecture (Phases 0-1)
From the beginning, incorporate:
- Standardized event system
- Security foundations
- API versioning infrastructure
These core architectural elements are much easier to implement correctly from the start than to refactor later.
### Transport Layer (Phases 2-2.5)
Focus on:
- Enhanced plugin framework
- Resource-aware optimization
- Clear extension points for external transports
The transport layer should be built with the plugin architecture in mind from day one.
### Routing and Tier Management (Phases 3-5)
Incorporate:
- Performance optimizations
- Cold start considerations
- Geographic distribution support
These aspects affect the core functionality and should be designed in from the beginning.
### Advanced Features and Testing (Phases 6-10)
Integrate:
- Expanded test scenarios
- Developer tools
- Internationalization support
- Documentation and community resources
As the implementation progresses to more advanced features, ensure these aspects are fully integrated.
## Documentation Updates
Each phase's documentation should be updated to include:
1. **Original Requirements**: The core functionality from PLAN.md
2. **Enhanced Requirements**: Additional requirements from adaptation plans
3. **Integration Points**: How adaptations connect with original functionality
4. **Success Criteria**: Updated criteria including adaptation goals
## Conclusion
By weaving the adaptation plans directly into the original implementation phases, we create a more cohesive, robust implementation plan that addresses potential issues before they become embedded in the codebase. This approach eliminates the need for later refactoring and ensures the library is built on solid foundations from the beginning.
The result will be a network library that not only fulfills the original vision but also incorporates modern best practices, comprehensive internationalization, robust performance, and an excellent developer experience from its initial release.

# Network Library Integration Plan
## Overview
Based on review of existing libraries in the project, this document outlines how to integrate several robust, existing libraries into the network implementation rather than rebuilding similar functionality. This approach will save development time, ensure consistency across the codebase, and leverage well-tested components.
## Available Libraries for Integration
The following libraries are available and relevant for network implementation:
1. **[Events Library](#events-library-integration)**: Type-safe event emitter implementation
2. **[BitPacker Library](#bitpacker-library-integration)**: Binary serialization with schema validation and delta compression
3. **[Crypto Library](#crypto-library-integration)**: Comprehensive cryptography utilities
4. **[Keys Library](#keys-library-integration)**: Hierarchical key management system
5. **[Utils Library](#utils-library-integration)**: General purpose utilities
## Events Library Integration
The existing `@suaveplan/events` library can be used directly as the standardized event system called for in ADAPT_1.md, eliminating the need to build a custom event system.
### Integration Points
1. **NetworkNode Event Handling**:
```typescript
import { EventEmitter } from '@suaveplan/events';
class NetworkNode {
private events: EventEmitter;
constructor() {
this.events = new EventEmitter();
}
on(event: string, handler: Function, context?: any) {
return this.events.on(event, handler, context);
}
once(event: string, handler: Function, context?: any) {
return this.events.once(event, handler, context);
}
off(event: string, handler?: Function, context?: any) {
return this.events.off(event, handler, context);
}
emit(event: string, ...args: any[]) {
return this.events.emit(event, ...args);
}
}
```
2. **Type-Safe Event Definitions**:
```typescript
interface NetworkEvents {
'connection:established': (peerId: string, metadata?: any) => void;
'connection:closed': (peerId: string, reason?: string) => void;
'message:received': (peerId: string, message: any) => void;
'node:promoted': (newLevel: number, oldLevel: number) => void;
'node:demoted': (newLevel: number, oldLevel: number) => void;
'tier:reorganizing': (tierInfo: any) => void;
'tier:reorganized': (tierInfo: any) => void;
}
class NetworkNode {
private events: EventEmitter<NetworkEvents>;
// ...implementation
}
```
3. **Testing Utilities**:
The Events library includes features such as getting event names and listener counts, which will be useful for testing.
## BitPacker Library Integration
The `@suaveplan/bitpacker` library can be used for efficient binary serialization in several components, particularly in state synchronization.
### Integration Points
1. **State Synchronization**:
```typescript
import { BitPacker } from '@suaveplan/bitpacker';
class StateManager {
private statePacker: BitPacker;
constructor(stateSchema: any) {
this.statePacker = new BitPacker(stateSchema);
}
serializeState(state: any): Uint8Array {
return this.statePacker.pack(state);
}
deserializeState(data: Uint8Array): any {
return this.statePacker.unpack(data);
}
}
```
2. **Delta Compression for State Updates**:
```typescript
import { GameBitPacker } from '@suaveplan/bitpacker';
class DeltaStateManager {
private gamePacker: GameBitPacker;
constructor(stateSchema: any) {
this.gamePacker = new GameBitPacker(stateSchema, {
delta: true,
enablePrediction: true
});
}
updateState(state: any): void {
this.gamePacker.update(state);
}
packFullState(): Uint8Array {
return this.gamePacker.packState();
}
packDeltaState(): Uint8Array {
return this.gamePacker.packDelta();
}
applyDelta(deltaData: Uint8Array): any {
return this.gamePacker.applyDelta(deltaData);
}
}
```
3. **Network Simulation for Testing**:
```typescript
import { NetworkSimulation, NetworkCondition } from '@suaveplan/bitpacker';
function createNetworkTestEnvironment() {
return new NetworkSimulation({
condition: NetworkCondition.MOBILE,
packetLoss: 5,
latencyMin: 50,
latencyMax: 200
});
}
```
4. **Schema Versioning and Migration**:
Leverage BitPacker's schema versioning capabilities for evolving state structures.
## Crypto Library Integration
The `@suaveplan/crypto` library provides comprehensive cryptographic functionality that can be used for secure communications.
### Integration Points
1. **Message Signing and Verification**:
```typescript
import { sign, verify } from '@suaveplan/crypto';
class SecureMessageHandler {
private secretKey: Uint8Array;
private publicKeys: Map<string, Uint8Array>;
async signMessage(message: any): Promise<any> {
const serializedMessage = JSON.stringify(message);
const signature = await sign(serializedMessage, this.secretKey);
return {
...message,
_signature: signature
};
}
async verifyMessage(message: any, senderId: string): Promise<boolean> {
const { _signature, ...messageContent } = message;
const serializedContent = JSON.stringify(messageContent);
const publicKey = this.publicKeys.get(senderId);
if (!publicKey) return false;
return await verify(_signature, serializedContent, publicKey);
}
}
```
2. **Secure Transport Layer**:
```typescript
import { encrypt, decrypt, box, boxOpen } from '@suaveplan/crypto';
class SecureTransport {
private secretKey: Uint8Array;
private peerPublicKeys: Map<string, Uint8Array>;
async sendEncrypted(data: any, peerId: string): Promise<Uint8Array> {
const peerPublicKey = this.peerPublicKeys.get(peerId);
if (!peerPublicKey) throw new Error('Unknown peer');
const serialized = new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(data));
return await box(serialized, peerPublicKey, this.secretKey);
}
async receiveEncrypted(data: Uint8Array): Promise<any> {
const decrypted = await boxOpen(data, this.secretKey, 'utf8');
return JSON.parse(decrypted);
}
}
```
3. **Authentication Mechanisms**:
Leverage crypto's password hashing for optional password-protected sessions.
## Keys Library Integration
The `@suaveplan/keys` library provides hierarchical key management that can be used for session ownership and authentication.
### Integration Points
1. **Session Ownership**:
```typescript
import { createRootKeys, packPublicKeys } from '@suaveplan/keys';
class SessionManager {
async createSession(password: string): Promise<{ sessionId: string, ownerToken: string }> {
// Create root keys for the session
const [keys, vault, publicKeys] = await createRootKeys(password);
// Session ID derived from the public key
const sessionId = await generateSessionId(publicKeys);
// Owner token is the vault
const ownerToken = Buffer.from(vault).toString('base64');
// Store public keys for verification
await this.storeSessionPublicKeys(sessionId, publicKeys);
return { sessionId, ownerToken };
}
async verifySessionOwner(sessionId: string, ownerToken: string, password: string): Promise<boolean> {
try {
const vault = Buffer.from(ownerToken, 'base64');
// This will throw if password is incorrect or vault is tampered
const keys = await unpackVault(vault, password);
// Verify the keys match the session
const storedPublicKeys = await this.getSessionPublicKeys(sessionId);
const packedPublicKeys = await packPublicKeys(keys);
// Compare public keys to confirm ownership
return await this.comparePublicKeys(storedPublicKeys, packedPublicKeys);
} catch (error) {
return false;
}
}
}
```
2. **Session Participant Authentication**:
Use server keys derived from root keys to authenticate participants:
```typescript
import { createServerKeys, viewPublicKeys } from '@suaveplan/keys';
class ParticipantManager {
async createParticipantCredentials(rootKeys, participantId: string): Promise<string> {
// Create unique server keys for this participant
const password = await generateRandomPassword();
const [keys, vault, publicKeys] = await createServerKeys(rootKeys, password);
// Register this participant's public keys
await this.registerParticipantPublicKeys(participantId, publicKeys);
// Return credentials to the participant
return JSON.stringify({
vault: Buffer.from(vault).toString('base64'),
password
});
}
async authenticateParticipant(participantId: string, credentials: string): Promise<boolean> {
const { vault, password } = JSON.parse(credentials);
try {
const vaultData = Buffer.from(vault, 'base64');
const publicKeyData = await this.getParticipantPublicKeys(participantId);
const publicKeys = await viewPublicKeys(publicKeyData);
// This will throw if vault is invalid or password is incorrect
const keys = await unpackVault(vaultData, password, publicKeys.sign);
return true;
} catch (error) {
return false;
}
}
}
```
3. **Message Authorization Requirements**:
```typescript
interface AuthorizationRequirement {
// Action type requiring authorization
action: string;
// Whether owner signature is required
requireOwner: boolean;
// Required participant roles if any
requiredRoles?: string[];
}
const authorizationRequirements: AuthorizationRequirement[] = [
{ action: 'tier:reorganize', requireOwner: true },
{ action: 'participant:remove', requireOwner: true },
{ action: 'message:broadcast', requireOwner: false }
];
```
## Utils Library Integration
The `@suaveplan/utils` library provides various utility functions that can be used throughout the network implementation.
### Integration Points
1. **ID Generation**:
```typescript
import { generateId } from '@suaveplan/utils';
class NetworkNode {
public readonly id: string;
constructor() {
this.id = generateId();
}
}
```
2. **Debug Utilities**:
```typescript
import { debug } from '@suaveplan/utils';
class NetworkTracer {
traceMessageFlow(message: any, path: string[]) {
debug.time(`message-${message.id}`);
debug.log(`Message ${message.id} following path: ${path.join(' -> ')}`);
// ... processing
debug.timeEnd(`message-${message.id}`);
}
}
```
3. **Data Validation**:
```typescript
import { isHex } from '@suaveplan/utils';
function validateNodeId(id: string): boolean {
// Node IDs must be valid hex strings of length 32
return id.length === 32 && isHex(id);
}
```
## Implementation Strategy
### Phase-by-Phase Integration
The following table outlines which existing libraries should be integrated in each phase:
| Phase | Libraries to Integrate | Components |
|-------|------------------------|------------|
| 0 | Events, Utils | Testing utilities, event system |
| 1 | Events, Utils | NetworkNode events, ID generation |
| 2 | Crypto, Utils | Transport security, debug utilities |
| 3 | Events, Utils | Message routing events, validation |
| 4 | Utils | Metrics and host selection |
| 5 | Events, Keys | Tier management events, session ownership |
| 6 | Events | Plugin system |
| 7 | BitPacker, Crypto | State serialization, compression |
| 8 | Utils | Monitoring and simulation |
| 9 | BitPacker | Serialization strategies |
| 10 | All | Integration testing, examples |
### Session Ownership Implementation
Based on the user's request to incorporate session ownership with public key verification, we recommend implementing this during Phase 5 (Tier Management) using the following approach:
1. **Session Creation**:
- When a network session is created, generate root keys for the session owner
- Store the vault securely with the owner
- Distribute public keys to participants for verification
2. **Host Authorization**:
- Require owner signature for critical operations like tier reorganization
- Verify signatures using the public signing key
3. **Participant Authentication**:
- Optionally issue participant-specific keys derived from root keys
- Use server keys from the Keys library for different roles/tiers
```typescript
// Example session creation in NetworkSystem
async createNetworkSession(ownerPassword: string): Promise<{
sessionId: string,
ownerCredentials: string,
publicData: string
}> {
// Create root keys for the session
const [rootKeys, rootVault, rootPublicKeys] = await createRootKeys(ownerPassword);
// Generate session ID from public key hash
const sessionId = await generateSessionId(rootPublicKeys);
// Owner credentials contain the encrypted vault
const ownerCredentials = Buffer.from(rootVault).toString('base64');
// Public data for participants to verify the session
const publicData = Buffer.from(rootPublicKeys).toString('base64');
// Initialize the network with these keys
this.initializeWithKeys(sessionId, rootPublicKeys);
return { sessionId, ownerCredentials, publicData };
}
```
## Conclusion
Integrating these existing libraries will significantly reduce development time while ensuring consistency and security across the implementation. The most impactful integrations are:
1. **Events Library** for the standardized event system
2. **BitPacker Library** for efficient state serialization and delta compression
3. **Keys and Crypto Libraries** for security, session ownership, and authentication
By leveraging these libraries, we can focus development efforts on the unique aspects of the network architecture while relying on proven implementations for common functionality.

## Overview
This document outlines a modular architecture approach for the network library, designed to keep the core components lightweight while allowing for extensive functionality through plugins. This architecture enables users to include only the features they need, reducing bundle size and performance overhead in production applications.
## Core Design Principles
1. **Minimal Core**: The core library should contain only essential functionality without which the network cannot operate
2. **Plugin-Based Extensions**: All non-essential features should be implemented as plugins
3. **Lazy Loading**: Support for loading modules only when needed
4. **Dependency Isolation**: Plugins should encapsulate their dependencies, not exposing them to the core
5. **Clear Extension Points**: Well-defined interfaces for extending functionality
## Modular Structure
### Core Package (`@suaveplan/network-core`)
The core package contains only the minimal components required for basic networking:
- **NetworkNode**: Basic node implementation with minimal features
- **Transport Abstraction**: Interface and minimal implementation for message passing
- **Basic Routing**: Essential message routing without advanced features
- **Plugin System**: Infrastructure to support plugins
- **Type Definitions**: Shared type definitions and interfaces
This core library should have minimal dependencies, ideally none beyond standard library functionality.
### Plugin Packages
Each plugin package would be published separately and follow a consistent naming convention:
- `@suaveplan/network-transport-webrtc`: WebRTC transport implementation
- `@suaveplan/network-transport-websocket`: WebSocket transport implementation
- `@suaveplan/network-state`: State synchronization functionality
- `@suaveplan/network-metrics`: Performance monitoring and metrics
- `@suaveplan/network-security`: Security features
- `@suaveplan/network-i18n`: Internationalization support
- `@suaveplan/network-simulation`: Testing and simulation tools
## Package Structure
```text
network/
├── packages/
│ ├── core/ # Core package
│ │ ├── src/
│ │ ├── package.json # Minimal or no dependencies
│ │ └── README.md
│ ├── transport-webrtc/ # WebRTC plugin

│ ├── i18n/ # Internationalization plugin
│ └── simulation/ # Simulation plugin
├── bundle/ # Bundle with all plugins (for convenience)
├── examples/ # Example applications
└── docs/ # Documentation
```
## Integration with Existing Libraries
Each plugin can integrate with appropriate libraries while keeping them encapsulated:
1. **Core Package**:
- Use `@suaveplan/events` for the event system
- Keep other libraries as optional peer dependencies
2. **Transport Plugins**:
- WebRTC/WebSocket specific implementations
- Crypto functionality for secure transports
3. **State Plugin**:
- Leverage `@suaveplan/bitpacker` for serialization
- Keep this as an optional feature
4. **Security Plugin**:
- Use `@suaveplan/crypto` and `@suaveplan/keys`
- Implement session ownership and encryption
## Loading Mechanisms
To support dynamic loading of plugins, implement:
1. **Plugin Registry**:
```typescript
// Core plugin system
class PluginRegistry {
register(plugin: IPlugin): void {
// Registration logic
}
}
// Application code
import { NetworkCore } from '@suaveplan/network-core';
import { StatePlugin } from '@suaveplan/network-state';
const network = new NetworkCore();
network.plugins.register(new StatePlugin());
```
2. **Conditional Imports**:
```typescript
// For environments that support dynamic imports
async function loadSecurityIfNeeded() {
if (config.securityEnabled) {
const { SecurityPlugin } = await import('@suaveplan/network-security');
network.plugins.register(new SecurityPlugin());
}
}
```
3. **Feature Detection**:
```typescript
class NetworkCore {
hasFeature(featureId: string): boolean {
return this.plugins.has(featureId);
}
// Method to safely use optional features
withFeature<T>(featureId: string, callback: (feature: any) => T, fallback: T): T {
if (this.hasFeature(featureId)) {
return callback(this.plugins.get(featureId));
}
return fallback;
}
}
```
## Plugin Categories
### 1. Core Enhancement Plugins
These plugins modify or enhance core functionality:
- **Advanced Routing Plugin**: Adds sophisticated routing strategies
- **Priority Queue Plugin**: Enhances message prioritization
- **Connection Management Plugin**: Improves connection handling
### 2. Feature Addition Plugins
These plugins add entirely new capabilities:
- **State Management Plugin**: Adds state synchronization
- **Voting Plugin**: Adds consensus capabilities
- **Metrics Plugin**: Adds performance monitoring
### 3. Transport Plugins
These plugins add support for different transport mechanisms:
- **WebRTC Transport Plugin**
- **WebSocket Transport Plugin**
- **HTTP Transport Plugin**
### 4. Integration Plugins
These plugins integrate with other frameworks:
- **React Integration Plugin**
- **Vue Integration Plugin**
- **Angular Integration Plugin**
## Implementation Strategy
### 1. Define Core Interfaces
Start by clearly defining stable interfaces for all extension points:
```typescript
// Plugin interface
export interface IPlugin {
id: string;
version: string;
initialize(core: NetworkCore): Promise<void>;
shutdown(): Promise<void>;
}
// Transport plugin interface
export interface ITransportPlugin extends IPlugin {
createTransport(config: TransportConfig): ITransport;
getSupportedOptions(): TransportOptions[];
}
```
### 2. Implement Minimal Core
Implement only essential functionality in the core:
- Basic NetworkNode implementation
- Plugin registry and manager
- Simple event emitter (using existing library)
- Essential type definitions
- Memory transport for testing
### 3. Move Advanced Features to Plugins
Transform complex features into plugins:
- Advanced routing → Routing plugin
- State management → State plugin
- Voting and consensus → Voting plugin
- Security features → Security plugin
### 4. Provide Convenience Bundles
For users who need a full-featured solution, provide pre-bundled packages:
- **Standard Bundle**: Core + common plugins
- **Full Bundle**: All plugins
- **Custom Bundles**: Configurable builds
## Dependency Management
### Minimal Core Dependencies
The core should have minimal dependencies:
- `@suaveplan/events` (essential for event handling)
- TypeScript types and utilities
### Optional Peer Dependencies
Plugins should list their dependencies as peer dependencies:
```json
{
"name": "@suaveplan/network-state",
"peerDependencies": {
"@suaveplan/network-core": "^1.0.0",
"@suaveplan/bitpacker": "^1.0.0"
},
"peerDependenciesMeta": {
"@suaveplan/bitpacker": {
"optional": true
}
}
}
```
## Bundle Size Optimization
### Core Size Target
The core package should aim for:
- < 20KB minified
- < 5KB gzipped
### Lazy Loading
Support for lazy loading plugins:
```typescript
class NetworkCore {
async loadPlugin(pluginId: string): Promise<void> {
switch (pluginId) {
case 'state':
const { StatePlugin } = await import('@suaveplan/network-state');
this.plugins.register(new StatePlugin());
break;
// Other plugins...
}
}
}
```
## Modularization of Existing Plan
### Phase-by-Phase Modularization
1. **Phase 0-1**: Implement modular core architecture
- Define interfaces
- Implement plugin system
- Create minimal core
2. **Phase 2-3**: Implement transport and routing plugins
- Move transport implementations to plugins
- Create routing plugin
3. **Phase 4-5**: Implement metrics and tier plugins
- Create metrics plugin
- Create tier management plugin
4. **Phase 6-7**: Implement state and middleware plugins
- Create state management plugin
- Create middleware plugin
5. **Phase 8-10**: Implement monitoring and integration plugins
- Create monitoring plugin
- Create framework integration plugins
## Benefits of this Approach
1. **Smaller Bundle Size**: Applications only include what they need
2. **Flexibility**: Easy to swap implementations or add custom plugins
3. **Maintainability**: Isolated code with clear boundaries
4. **Testing**: Easier to test smaller, focused modules
5. **Versioning**: Components can evolve independently
6. **Adoption**: Lower barrier to entry with minimal core
## Migration Path
For users who start with the full bundle and want to optimize later:
1. **Analysis Tools**: Provide tools to analyze which plugins are actually used
2. **Gradual Migration**: Support incremental migration to cherry-picked plugins
3. **Shim Layer**: Provide compatibility layer during migration
## Conclusion
By adopting this modular architecture, the network library can provide both simplicity for basic use cases and power for advanced applications. The core remains lightweight and focused, while plugins provide the extended functionality needed for more complex scenarios.
This approach allows for:
- Minimal bundle size for simple applications
- Full featured capabilities when needed
- Maximum flexibility for different use cases
- Better maintainability and testing
- Clear separation of concerns

register(plugin: IPlugin): void {
// Registration logic
}
}
// Application code
import { NetworkCore } from '@suaveplan/network-core';
import { StatePlugin } from '@suaveplan/network-state';
const network = new NetworkCore();
network.plugins.register(new StatePlugin());
```
2. **Conditional Imports**:
```typescript
// For environments that support dynamic imports
async function loadSecurityIfNeeded() {
if (config.securityEnabled) {
const { SecurityPlugin } = await import('@suaveplan/network-security');
network.plugins.register(new SecurityPlugin());
}
}
```
3. **Feature Detection**:
```typescript
class NetworkCore {
hasFeature(featureId: string): boolean {
return this.plugins.has(featureId);
}
// Method to safely use optional features
withFeature<T>(featureId: string, callback: (feature: any) => T, fallback: T): T {
if (this.hasFeature(featureId)) {
return callback(this.plugins.get(featureId));
}
return fallback;
}
}
```

- < 20KB minified
- < 5KB gzipped
### Dependency Management
#### Minimal Core Dependencies
The core should have minimal dependencies:
- `@suaveplan/events` (essential for event handling)

# Modular Implementation - Phase 5
This document outlines the modular architecture implemented in Phase 5 of the network library, focusing on resource-aware tier management and enhanced partition handling.
## Core Principles
The modular design for Phase 5 follows these core principles:
1. **Separation of Concerns**: Each component has a well-defined responsibility.
2. **Encapsulation**: Components expose clear interfaces while hiding implementation details.
3. **Composability**: Components can be composed to create higher-order functionality.
4. **Testability**: Each component can be tested in isolation.
5. **Extensibility**: The system can be extended with plugins and new components.
## Module Structure
Phase 5 implements a hierarchical module structure with these key components:
### 1. EnhancedTierManager
The central orchestration component that coordinates tier management operations.
**Responsibilities**:
- Manage the overall tier structure
- Coordinate between specialized components
- Handle tier insertion and removal
- Maintain tier statistics
- Emit tier-related events
**Key Interfaces**:
- `ITierManager`: Core interface for tier management operations
- `TierManagementConfig`: Configuration for tier management behavior
### 2. ResourceBalancer
Dedicated component for resource-aware tier balancing.
**Responsibilities**:
- Monitor resource utilization across tiers
- Detect resource imbalances
- Recommend node promotions and demotions
- Calculate optimal resource distribution
**Key Interfaces**:
- `TierResourceUtilization`: Resource usage metrics for a tier
- `PromotionCriteria`: Criteria for node promotion decisions
- `NodeTierPlacement`: Information about node placement in tiers
### 3. TierPartitionHandler
Specialized component for detecting and recovering from network partitions.
**Responsibilities**:
- Detect network partitions
- Track partition information
- Coordinate partition recovery
- Handle partition events
**Key Interfaces**:
- `PartitionDetectionResult`: Result of partition detection
- `PartitionInfo`: Information about a detected partition
- `PartitionRecoveryResult`: Result of partition recovery operation
### 4. TierOptimizer
Component that analyzes and optimizes the tier structure.
**Responsibilities**:
- Calculate optimal tier counts
- Recommend tier structure changes
- Execute tier adaptations
- Analyze network performance
**Key Interfaces**:
- `TierAdaptationResult`: Result of tier structure adaptation
### 5. Integration Layer
Wrappers and utilities for integrating Phase 5 components with existing systems.
**Responsibilities**:
- Provide backward compatibility
- Simplify integration with existing code
- Coordinate between components
- Handle lifecycle management
**Key Classes**:
- `NetworkNodePhase5`: Wrapper enhancing NetworkNode with Phase 5 capabilities
- `NetworkSystemPhase5`: Wrapper enhancing NetworkSystem with Phase 5 capabilities
## Component Interactions
The component interaction follows these patterns:
1. **Event-Driven Communication**
- Components communicate via the event system
- Events are used for notifications, not direct method calls
- This allows for looser coupling between components
2. **Dependency Injection**
- Components receive their dependencies through constructors
- This facilitates testing and component replacement
3. **Facade Pattern**
- The EnhancedTierManager presents a simplified API to clients
- It delegates to specialized components internally
- This hides implementation complexity
4. **Strategy Pattern**
- Components implement different strategies for their responsibilities
- Strategies can be configured or replaced
- This allows for flexible behavior customization
## Code Organization
The Phase 5 code is organized into the following directory structure:
```text
libs/network/src/
├── tier/
│ ├── index.ts # Public exports
│ ├── types.ts # Shared interfaces and types
│ ├── enhanced-tier-manager.ts # Core tier manager
│ ├── resource-balancer.ts # Resource-aware balancing
│ ├── tier-partition-handler.ts # Partition detection and recovery
│ ├── tier-optimizer.ts # Tier structure optimization
│ └── tests/ # Component tests
├── integration/
│ ├── phase5-integration.ts # Integration utilities
│ └── tests/ # Integration tests
├── metrics/
│ ├── enhanced-types.ts # Enhanced metrics interfaces
│ └── enhanced-metrics-manager.ts # Metrics collection and analysis
└── utils/
├── timer-controller.ts # Time management for testing
└── network-event-emitter.ts # Event system
```
## Implementation Approach
The implementation follows these practices:
### 1. Progressive Enhancement
- Base functionality works without resource awareness
- Resource-aware features are enabled when metrics are available
- This ensures robust operation even with limited information
### 2. Configuration-Driven Behavior
- Component behavior is customizable via configuration
- Default configurations provide reasonable behavior out of the box
- This allows adaptation to different deployment scenarios
### 3. Explicit State Management
- Components maintain explicit internal state
- State changes are tracked and can be audited
- This improves debugging and understanding of system behavior
### 4. Graceful Degradation
- Components handle missing dependencies gracefully
- Features degrade rather than fail when resources are limited
- This ensures resilience in various operating conditions
### 5. Comprehensive Logging
- Key operations are logged for observability
- Events provide visibility into the system's internal state
- This facilitates troubleshooting and performance analysis
## Testing Strategy
The modular architecture enables the following testing approaches:
### 1. Unit Testing
- Each component is tested in isolation
- Dependencies are mocked for controlled testing
- This verifies component behavior under various conditions
### 2. Integration Testing
- Components are tested together to verify interactions
- Timer controller is used for time-dependent tests
- This ensures components work correctly as a system
### 3. Simulation Testing
- Memory transport is used to simulate network conditions
- Network partitions are artificially created and resolved
- This tests partition detection and recovery
### 4. Resource Testing
- Resource metrics are simulated with controlled values
- Resource-aware behavior is verified under different conditions
- This ensures adaptation works as expected
## Plugin Architecture
Phase 5 introduces a plugin system for extensibility:
### 1. Tier Plugins
- Allows custom tier management strategies
- Plugins receive events for tier changes
- They can influence tier management decisions
### 2. Partition Plugins
- Enables custom partition detection and recovery
- Plugins can provide specialized algorithms
- They receive events for partition events
### 3. Resource Plugins
- Allows custom resource monitoring and balancing
- Plugins can define new metrics and thresholds
- They can influence balancing decisions
## Conclusion
The modular implementation in Phase 5 provides a flexible, maintainable architecture for resource-aware tier management and partition handling. By separating concerns into specialized components with clear interfaces, the system achieves high cohesion and low coupling, facilitating future extensions and adaptations.

# Modular Architecture Implementation Plan - Phase 6
## Overview
This document details the Phase 6 implementation of the modular architecture approach, focusing on the plugin system that forms the core of our modular design. Phase 6 transforms the network library from a collection of interconnected components into a true plugin-based platform where core functionality is minimal and extensibility is maximized.

### Plugin System Components
#### 1. Plugin Manager
The central orchestration component for the plugin system:
```typescript
class PluginManager {
constructor(options?: PluginManagerOptions) { /* ... */ }
// Registration
register(plugin: IPlugin): boolean;
unregister(pluginId: string): boolean;
// Lifecycle management
initialize(): Promise<void>;
shutdown(): Promise<void>;
// Plugin discovery
getPlugin<T extends IPlugin>(id: string): T | undefined;
getAllPlugins(): IPlugin[];
getPluginsByType<T extends IPlugin>(type: string): T[];
// Extension points
getExtensionPoint<T>(id: string): ExtensionPoint<T> | undefined;
registerExtensionPoint<T>(id: string, schema: ExtensionPointSchema): ExtensionPoint<T>;
}
```
#### 2. Plugin Registry
Maintains information about registered plugins and their relationships:
```typescript
class PluginRegistry {
constructor() { /* ... */ }
// Registration
add(plugin: IPlugin, manifest: PluginManifest): boolean;
remove(pluginId: string): boolean;
// Plugin lookup
getById(pluginId: string): RegisteredPlugin | undefined;
getByDependency(dependency: PluginDependency): RegisteredPlugin[];
getAll(): RegisteredPlugin[];
// Dependency management
resolveDependencies(pluginId: string): DependencyResolutionResult;
getLoadOrder(): string[]; // Returns plugins in dependency order
}
```
#### 3. Security Verifier
Validates plugins for security compliance:
```typescript
class SecurityVerifier {
constructor(options?: SecurityOptions) { /* ... */ }
// Verification
verify(plugin: IPlugin, manifest: PluginManifest): SecurityVerificationResult;
// Capability management
validateCapabilityRequest(
plugin: IPlugin,
capability: PluginCapability
): CapabilityValidationResult;
// Runtime security
createSecureContext(plugin: IPlugin): PluginContext;
}
```
#### 4. Resource Monitor
Tracks and controls resource usage by plugins:
```typescript
class ResourceMonitor {
constructor(options?: ResourceMonitorOptions) { /* ... */ }
// Monitoring
registerPlugin(plugin: IPlugin, limits: ResourceLimits): void;
getResourceUsage(pluginId: string): ResourceUsage;
// Control
applyLimits(pluginId: string, limits: ResourceLimits): void;
pauseResourceIntensivePlugins(): void;
// Reporting
getSystemResourceUtilization(): SystemResourceUtilization;
}
```
### Plugin Interface
All plugins implement this interface:
```typescript
interface IPlugin {
// Core identity
readonly id: string;
readonly version: string;
// Lifecycle hooks
onRegister(context: PluginContext): void;
onUnregister(): void;
initialize?(): Promise<void>;
shutdown?(): Promise<void>;
// Configuration
configure?(config: unknown): void;
getCapabilities?(): PluginCapability[];
// Extension points
getExtensions?(): Record<string, unknown>;
// Optional metadata
readonly displayName?: string;
readonly description?: string;
readonly author?: string;
readonly homepage?: string;
}
```
### Plugin Context
Each plugin receives a context object that provides:
1. **Controlled Access**: Safe APIs to interact with the system
2. **Plugin Communication**: Ability to interact with other plugins
3. **Resource Management**: Monitoring of resource usage
4. **Logging**: Plugin-specific logging facilities
```typescript
interface PluginContext {
// Access to other plugins with approved capabilities
getPlugin<T extends IPlugin>(id: string): T | undefined;
// Event system
events: EventEmitter;
// Extension points
getExtensionPoint<T>(id: string): ExtensionPoint<T> | undefined;
// Resource monitoring
getResourceUsage(): ResourceUsage;
// Logging
logger: PluginLogger;
// Configuration
config: ReadonlyConfig;
}
```
## First-Party Plugins
Phase 6 implements these core plugins to demonstrate the plugin system:
### 1. NetworkConditionPlugin
Simulates various network conditions for testing:
```typescript
class NetworkConditionPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'network-condition-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
// Network condition profiles
setConditionProfile(profile: 'good' | 'poor' | 'intermittent'): void;
// Custom conditions
setLatency(latencyMs: number): void;
setPacketLoss(percentage: number): void;
setBandwidthLimit(kbps: number): void;
}
```
### 2. SecurityPlugin
Enhances network security with encryption and authentication:
```typescript
class SecurityPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'security-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
// Authentication
enableAuthenticatedConnections(): void;
// Encryption
enableMessageEncryption(options?: EncryptionOptions): void;
// Access control
createAccessPolicy(policy: AccessPolicy): void;
}
```
### 3. LoggingPlugin
Provides enhanced logging with internationalization support:
```typescript
class LoggingPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'logging-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
// Log configuration
setLogLevel(level: LogLevel): void;
// Internationalization
setLanguage(language: string): void;
// Output management
addLogOutput(output: LogOutput): void;
}
```
### 4. ResourceManagementPlugin
Optimizes resource usage across the network:
```typescript
class ResourceManagementPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'resource-management-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
// Resource policies
setPriorityPolicy(policy: PriorityPolicy): void;
// Adaptive behavior
enableAdaptiveResourceAllocation(): void;
// Limits
setResourceLimits(limits: ResourceLimits): void;
}
```
### 5. PerformanceMonitoringPlugin
Monitors and analyzes network performance:
```typescript
class PerformanceMonitoringPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'performance-monitoring-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
// Monitoring
startMonitoring(metrics: PerformanceMetric[]): void;
// Analysis
getPerformanceReport(): PerformanceReport;
// Alerting
setPerformanceThreshold(metric: PerformanceMetric, threshold: number): void;
}
```
## Extension Points
Phase 6 defines these key extension points throughout the system:
1. **Transport Extension Point**: For custom transport implementations
2. **Message Processing Pipeline**: For message transformation and filtering
3. **Tier Management Hooks**: For custom tier management strategies
4. **State Synchronization**: For custom state handling
5. **Network Monitoring**: For custom metrics and analysis
Example extension point registration:
```typescript
// Define an extension point
const messageProcessorExtensionPoint = pluginManager.registerExtensionPoint<MessageProcessor>('network:message-processor', {
schema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
priority: { type: 'number' },
processor: { type: 'function' }
},
required: ['processor']
}
});
// Plugin providing an extension
class MessageProcessingPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'message-processing-plugin';
readonly version = '1.0.0';
getExtensions() {
return {
'network:message-processor': {
priority: 10,
processor: (message) => {
// Transform message
return message;
}
}
};
}
}
```
## Plugin Development Kit (PDK)
The Plugin Development Kit provides tools for plugin creators:
1. **Plugin Template Generator**: Scaffolding for new plugins
2. **Testing Utilities**: Tools for validating plugin behavior
3. **Documentation Generator**: Automatic documentation based on code
4. **Debugging Tools**: Specialized tools for plugin debugging
5. **Performance Analysis**: Tools to analyze plugin performance impact
## Integration with Phase 5
Phase 6 seamlessly integrates with Phase 5's resource-aware tier management:
1. **EnhancedTierManager**: Extended with plugin extension points
2. **ResourceBalancer**: Integrates with ResourceManagementPlugin
3. **TierPartitionHandler**: Receives enhanced capabilities from plugins
4. **TierOptimizer**: Uses plugin-provided optimization strategies
Integration code example:
```typescript
// Phase 5 EnhancedTierManager with plugin support
class EnhancedTierManager {
constructor(pluginManager?: PluginManager) {
this.pluginManager = pluginManager;
if (pluginManager) {
// Register extension points
this.tierStrategyExtensionPoint = pluginManager.registerExtensionPoint(
'tier:strategy',
tierStrategySchema
);
// Use extensions
this.tierStrategies = this.tierStrategyExtensionPoint.getExtensions();
}
}
// Use plugin-provided strategies when available
optimizeTierStructure() {
const strategy = this.selectTierStrategy();
return strategy.optimize(this.getCurrentTierStructure());
}
}
```
## Implementation Strategy
The implementation follows these steps:
1. **Core System First**: Implement the plugin system core components
2. **Extension Points**: Add extension points to existing components
3. **First-Party Plugins**: Implement core plugins demonstrating extension patterns
4. **Development Tools**: Create the plugin development toolkit
5. **Integration**: Integrate with Phase 5 components
6. **Documentation**: Create comprehensive documentation and examples
## Testing Approach
Testing uses these strategies:
1. **Real Simulation**: Use memory transport instead of mocks
2. **Timer Control**: Use TimerController instead of Jest timers
3. **Comprehensive Coverage**: Test all plugin interactions and failure modes
4. **Security Testing**: Verify plugin isolation and security measures
5. **Resource Testing**: Validate resource allocation and limits
Example test:
```typescript
describe('PluginManager', () => {
let pluginManager: PluginManager;
let timerController: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
timerController = TimerController.createInstance();
pluginManager = new PluginManager({ timerController });
});
it('should load plugins in dependency order', async () => {
// Register plugins with dependencies
pluginManager.register(new PluginA());
pluginManager.register(new PluginB()); // depends on A
pluginManager.register(new PluginC()); // depends on B
// Initialize
await pluginManager.initialize();
// Verify initialization order
expect(initializationOrder).toEqual(['plugin-a', 'plugin-b', 'plugin-c']);
});
it('should properly isolate plugin errors', async () => {
// Register a faulty plugin
pluginManager.register(new FaultyPlugin());
// Initialize should still succeed
await pluginManager.initialize();
// Verify the faulty plugin is disabled
const faultyPlugin = pluginManager.getPlugin('faulty-plugin');
expect(faultyPlugin.getState()).toBe(PluginState.ERROR);
// Other operations should continue to work
expect(pluginManager.getPlugin('core-plugin').performOperation()).toWork();
});
});
```
## Conclusion
Phase 6 completes the transformation of the network library into a truly modular, plugin-based architecture. By implementing a comprehensive plugin system, we enable:
1. **Customization**: Adapting the library to specific needs
2. **Innovation**: Creating new functionality without modifying core code
3. **Maintenance**: Isolating components for easier updates and fixes
4. **Performance**: Optimizing by only loading needed plugins
5. **Security**: Controlling access to sensitive functionality
The plugin system provides the foundation for all future enhancements while maintaining backward compatibility with previous phases.

# Modular Implementation - Phase 7: State Management
## Modular Architecture Overview
Phase 7 implements a state management system as a plugin within the modular architecture established in Phase 6. This approach maintains the separation of concerns and allows for optional use of state management capabilities within the network library.
## Core Design Principles
1. **Plugin-Based Implementation**: State management is implemented as a plugin rather than core functionality
2. **Interface-Based Design**: All components interact through well-defined interfaces
3. **Composable Functionality**: Features can be composed and extended as needed
4. **Minimal Dependencies**: Components have minimal dependencies on each other
5. **Extension Points**: Key areas of functionality can be extended without modifying core code
## Module Structure
```text
libs/network/src/
├── state/
│ ├── types.ts // Type definitions for state management
│ ├── state-manager.ts // Core state management functionality
│ ├── state-reconciler.ts // Conflict resolution system
│ ├── state-path.ts // Path utilities for state access
│ ├── bit-packer-compressor.ts // State serialization and compression
│ ├── state-plugin.ts // Plugin integration with Phase 6
│ └── index.ts // Public API for state management
```
## Module Responsibilities
### types.ts
- Defines interfaces and types for the state management system
- Ensures type safety across component boundaries
- Facilitates extensibility through interface-based design
### state-manager.ts
- Manages the local state store
- Provides path-based access to state
- Implements subscription system for state changes
- Tracks resource usage and performance metrics
- Supports internationalization and locale-aware operations
### state-reconciler.ts
- Handles conflict resolution between different versions of state
- Provides multiple reconciliation strategies for different data types
- Supports custom strategies for application-specific needs
- Implements path-specific resolution configuration
### state-path.ts

- Manages initialization and shutdown processes
- Provides extension points for state management customization
- Handles plugin lifecycle and dependencies
## Extension Points
The state management system provides several extension points:
1. **Reconciliation Strategies**: Custom conflict resolution strategies
2. **State Serializers**: Custom serialization formats for specific data types
3. **Path Matchers**: Custom path matching algorithms
4. **State Validators**: Custom validation rules for state updates
5. **Resource Monitors**: Custom resource monitoring and adaptation
## Interface Boundaries
1. **Plugin Interface**: Interacts with the plugin system via IPlugin interface
2. **Event Interface**: Communicates with other components via event system
3. **Network Interface**: Exchanges state data with remote nodes via network layer
4. **Storage Interface**: Persists state to storage via abstracted storage interface
## Dependency Management
The state management system follows these dependency rules:
1. **Unidirectional Dependencies**: Components depend only on more stable, lower-level components
2. **Interface-Based Dependencies**: Components depend on interfaces, not implementations
3. **Dependency Injection**: External dependencies are injected rather than directly referenced
4. **Minimal Core Dependencies**: Core components have minimal dependencies on external systems
## Communication Patterns
1. **Event-Based Communication**: Components communicate via events for loose coupling
2. **Subscription Model**: State changes are communicated via subscription callbacks
3. **Message-Passing**: Network communication uses message-passing for state synchronization
4. **Command Pattern**: State operations are modeled as commands for auditability and replay
## Testing Strategy
The modular design facilitates testing through:
1. **Component Isolation**: Each component can be tested in isolation
2. **Interface Mocking**: Dependencies can be mocked via their interfaces
3. **In-Memory Testing**: Network operations can be tested with in-memory transports
4. **Controlled Time**: Time-based operations use injected timer controller
## Extensibility
The system can be extended in several ways:
1. **Custom Plugins**: Create new plugins that interact with state management
2. **Strategy Injection**: Inject custom reconciliation strategies
3. **Path Configuration**: Configure resolution strategies for specific paths
4. **Event Handlers**: Add custom event handlers for state events
5. **Custom Serializers**: Implement specialized serialization for specific data types

# Modular Implementation: Phase 9
## Overview
This document outlines the modular approach taken for Phase 9 implementation. The middleware and serialization components are designed to work independently while integrating seamlessly with the existing architecture.
## Module Structure
Phase 9 introduces two main modules:
1. **Middleware Module**: For intercepting and modifying messages
2. **Serialization Module**: For converting messages between formats
Each module follows a consistent pattern:
- Core interfaces and types
- Implementation classes
- Integration points
- Tests
## Middleware Module
### Structure
```text
libs/network/src/middleware/
├── index.ts
├── types.ts
├── middleware-manager.ts
├── middleware-manager.spec.ts
├── core-middleware.ts
├── core-middleware.spec.ts
└── plugins/
└── middleware-plugin.ts
```
### Key Components
1. **MiddlewareManager**: Central class that orchestrates the middleware chain
2. **IMiddleware**: Interface defining middleware capabilities
3. **Core Middleware**: Implementations of common middleware (logging, validation, etc.)
4. **MiddlewarePlugin**: Plugin implementation for integration
### Integration Points
- Integrates with the plugin system from Phase 6
- Connects with message handling for processing
- Hooks into the NetworkNode for message interception
## Serialization Module

├── types.ts
├── serializer-factory.ts
├── serializer-factory.spec.ts
├── json-serializer.ts
├── binary-serializer.ts
├── msgpack-serializer.ts
├── serializers.spec.ts
└── plugins/
└── serializer-plugin.ts
```
### Key Components
1. **SerializerFactory**: Factory class for selecting appropriate serializers
2. **ISerializer**: Interface defining serialization capabilities
3. **Serializer Implementations**: JSON, Binary, and MessagePack serializers
4. **SerializerPlugin**: Plugin implementation for integration
### Integration Points
- Connects with TransportLayer for message conversion
- Integrates with the plugin system
- Exposes serialization capabilities to other components
## Modular Benefits
1. **Independent Selection**: Each serialization strategy can be used independently
2. **Pluggable Middleware**: Middleware components can be enabled/disabled as needed
3. **Clear Boundaries**: Each module has well-defined responsibilities
4. **Extensibility**: Easy addition of new middleware or serialization strategies
5. **Testability**: Components can be tested in isolation
## Middleware Chain Architecture
The middleware chain follows a modular pipeline architecture:
1. **Registration Phase**: Middleware components register with the manager
2. **Prioritization**: Components are sorted by priority
3. **Execution**: Messages flow through the chain sequentially
4. **Modification**: Each middleware can modify or drop messages
5. **Directionality**: Different processing for incoming vs outgoing messages
## Serialization Strategy Architecture
The serialization system uses a modular factory pattern:
1. **Strategy Registration**: Serializers register with the factory
2. **Content Type Mapping**: Each serializer is associated with content types
3. **Selection Logic**: Appropriate serializer is selected based on content type
4. **Fallback Mechanism**: Default serializer used when needed
5. **Plugin Integration**: Custom serializers can be added via plugins
## Configuration
Each module provides configuration options:
```typescript
// Example middleware configuration
const middlewareManager = new MiddlewareManager({
enabledMiddleware: ['core:logging', 'core:validation'],
defaultErrorPolicy: 'continue'
});
// Example serializer configuration
const serializerFactory = new SerializerFactory({
defaultContentType: 'application/json',
serializerOptions: {
'application/json': {
pretty: false,
circularHandling: 'error'
},
'application/x-msgpack': {
useExtensions: true
}
}
});
```
## Plugin Integration
Both components implement the plugin interface from Phase 6:
```typescript
// Example plugin registration
pluginManager.registerPlugin(new MiddlewarePlugin());
pluginManager.registerPlugin(new SerializerPlugin());
```
## Testing Strategy
The modular approach enables focused testing:
1. **Unit Tests**: Each component has isolated unit tests
2. **Integration Tests**: Test modules working together
3. **Performance Tests**: Verify efficiency and throughput
4. **Edge Case Tests**: Test unusual message patterns and error cases
## Resource Management
The modular design allows for fine-grained resource control:
1. **Selective Middleware**: Apply middleware only to relevant messages
2. **Optimized Serialization**: Select efficient formats based on message characteristics
3. **Processing Control**: Enable/disable components based on system load
4. **Memory Efficiency**: Implement efficient data handling for large messages
## Conclusion
The modular implementation of Phase 9 follows the pattern established in previous phases, resulting in a flexible, maintainable system for message processing and serialization that can be adapted to different usage scenarios.

# Phase 0: Environment Setup
## Overview
This phase focuses on establishing the development and testing infrastructure necessary for implementing the network library. A robust testing environment is critical for a complex system like this, as it will allow for proper verification of functionality, edge case handling, and performance characteristics.
## Detailed Requirements
### 1. Jest Configuration Setup
#### Base Configuration
Create a Jest configuration that:
- Uses the appropriate preset for the project
- Transforms TypeScript files correctly
- Sets up coverage reporting to track test coverage
- Specifies files to include/exclude from coverage
- Enforces 100% coverage thresholds for all metrics
- Configures any additional plugins or test environments needed
#### Jest Setup File
Create a setup file that:
- Imports necessary testing libraries
- Sets up custom matchers for network-specific assertions
- Configures global timeout settings appropriate for network tests
- Sets up any mocks that should be present for all tests
### 2. TypeScript Configuration
Ensure TypeScript configuration supports both the library implementation and testing:
- Library configuration should enable declaration file generation
- Test configuration should support Jest and CommonJS modules
- Both configurations should share base settings for consistency
- Ensure proper exclusion patterns to prevent cross-contamination
### 3. Testing Utilities
#### Network Mocks
Create mock implementations of key interfaces:
- **MockNetworkNode**: A simplified version of NetworkNode for testing
- Should expose basic properties/methods needed for testing
- Should simulate basic node behavior
- Should provide helpers for simulating events/state changes
- Should expose protected methods/properties for testing
- **TestEventEmitter**: An implementation of IEventEmitter for testing
- Should track emitted events
- Should allow inspection of event history
- Should support standard event subscription/unsubscription
- Should provide helper methods for test assertions
#### Network Testing Harness
Create a comprehensive testing harness that:
- Provides methods to create test networks easily
- Supports creation of various network topologies
- Offers utilities for connection/disconnection simulation
- Includes helpers for message passing verification
- Provides reset functionality for test isolation
#### Time-Based Testing Helpers
Create utilities for time-dependent tests:
- Methods for controlled delays in async tests
- Utilities for Jest timer manipulation
- Tools for waiting on conditions with timeouts
- Helpers for testing time-sensitive operations
#### Assertion Helpers
Create specialized assertion utilities:
- Node relationship assertions
- Message validation assertions
- Event emission assertions
- Network state assertions
## Testing Strategy Requirements
### Test Isolation
Tests must be properly isolated to prevent side effects:
- Each test should start with a fresh environment
- Mocks and spies should be cleared between tests
- Shared state should be reset before each test
- External dependencies should be properly mocked
### Asynchronous Testing
Since many network operations are asynchronous, the test framework should support:
- Async/await pattern for test cases
- Proper handling of promises in assertions
- Utilities for controlled timing and synchronization
- Methods for waiting for asynchronous operations to complete
### Time-Dependent Testing
For testing time-sensitive behavior:
- Support Jest's fake timer utilities
- Provide helpers for manipulating simulated time
- Include utilities for testing delays and timeouts
- Support both real and simulated time depending on test needs
## Directory Structure
Establish a directory structure that supports the development approach:
```text
libs/network/
├── jest.config.ts
├── jest.setup.ts
├── tsconfig.json
├── tsconfig.lib.json
├── tsconfig.spec.json
├── src/
│ ├── testing/
│ │ ├── mocks/
│ │ │ ├── network-node.mock.ts
│ │ │ ├── transport.mock.ts
│ │ │ └── ... other mocks
│ │ ├── network-test-harness.ts
│ │ ├── time-helpers.ts
│ │ ├── assertions.ts
│ │ └── index.ts
│ └── ... other directories
```
## Interface Requirements
The testing utilities should adhere to these interfaces:
### Test Harness Interface
The test harness should provide:
- Methods to create individual nodes with specified capabilities
- Methods to create multiple nodes at once
- Methods to establish connections between nodes
- Methods to simulate disconnections
- Methods to retrieve nodes by ID
- Methods to get all nodes in the test network
- Methods to reset the test environment
### Mock Node Interface
Mock nodes should implement:
- Core properties of real nodes (id, level, etc.)
- Methods to simulate network events
- Methods to expose normally protected functionality
- Simplified versions of core node behavior
### Test Event Emitter Interface
The test event emitter should implement:
- Standard event subscription/unsubscription
- Event emission
- Methods to query event history
- Methods to clear event history
- Methods to check for specific events
## Edge Cases and Considerations
### 1. Test Isolation
Tests must be completely isolated to prevent interference:
- Ensure stateful components are reset between tests
- Verify that events from one test don't affect others
- Make sure asynchronous operations complete properly
- Ensure timers are properly cleaned up
### 2. Asynchronous Testing
Async tests require special handling:
- Define strategies for testing async message delivery
- Create patterns for verifying eventual consistency
- Establish timeout guidelines for different test types
- Document patterns for avoiding race conditions in tests
### 3. Mock Limitations
Be clear about mock limitations:
- Document differences between mocks and real implementations
- Establish which behaviors are simulated vs. delegated
- Define which edge cases might not be properly tested with mocks
- Create guidelines for when to use mocks vs. real components
### 4. Time-Sensitive Testing
Establish approaches for time-sensitive tests:
- Define when to use real timers vs. fake timers
- Create patterns for testing timeout behavior
- Document approaches for testing retry logic
- Establish strategies for testing debounce/throttle behavior
## Deliverables
1. Complete Jest configuration files
2. TypeScript configuration files for library and tests
3. Core testing utilities:
- Network test harness
- Mock implementations
- Testing helpers
- Assertion utilities
4. Documentation on testing approaches and patterns
## Success Criteria
Phase 0 is complete when:
- All testing infrastructure is in place
- Test utilities are themselves thoroughly tested
- Example tests demonstrate proper isolation and robustness
- TypeScript compilation works without errors
- Jest coverage reporting is properly configured
- Documentation clearly explains the testing approach
This phase sets up the foundation for all subsequent development phases, ensuring that we can effectively test the complex network components we will build.

# Phase 1: Core Framework and Types
## Overview
Phase 1 establishes the foundation of the network library by implementing core types and the base building blocks: `NetworkNode` and `NetworkSystem`. This phase is critical as it defines the data structures and relationships that the entire system depends on.
## Core Architecture Class Diagram
The following class diagram illustrates the key components and their relationships that should be implemented in this phase:
```typescript
classDiagram
class NetworkNode {
-id: string
-level: number
-parent: NetworkNode
-children: Map~string, NetworkNode~
-siblings: Map~string, NetworkNode~
-capabilities: NodeCapabilities
-performance: NodePerformance
-levelConfig: LevelConfig
-transport: NetworkTransport
+addChild(node: NetworkNode)
+removeChild(nodeId: string)
+addSibling(node: NetworkNode)
+removeSibling(nodeId: string)
+sendMessage(message: NetworkMessage)
+tryPromote()
+demote()
+canAcceptChildren()
}
class LevelConfig {
+level: number
+name: string
+maxChildren: number
+maxSiblings: number
+minPromotionScore: number
+demotionThreshold: number
+messageRoutingConfig: MessageRoutingConfig
}
class NetworkSystem {
-nodes: Map~string, NetworkNode~
-config: NetworkSystemConfig
+createNode(id, transport, capabilities)
+removeNode(id)
+findBestParent(node)
+placeNodeInHierarchy(node)
}
class NetworkTransport {
<<interface>>
+sendTo(nodeId, message)
+on(event, handler)
+off(event, handler)
}
class VotingManager {
-node: NetworkNode
-config: VotingConfig
+startVote(trigger)
+castVote(vote)
}
NetworkNode "1" --> "0..1" NetworkNode : parent
NetworkNode "1" --> "*" NetworkNode : children
NetworkNode "1" --> "*" NetworkNode : siblings
NetworkNode "1" --> "1" LevelConfig
NetworkNode "1" --> "0..1" VotingManager
NetworkNode "1" --> "1" NetworkTransport
NetworkSystem "1" --> "*" NetworkNode
```
This diagram illustrates the unified node architecture where all network participants use the same `NetworkNode` class with behavior determined by their level in the hierarchy. The relationships between nodes (parent-child and sibling) form the network structure, with each node configured based on its level.
## Key Components
### 1. Core Types and Interfaces (`src/types.ts`)
This file serves as the centralized location for all shared types used throughout the system. It should include:
- **Connection States and Message Types**: Define enums for connection states, message priorities, and routing modes
- **Node Configuration**: Define interfaces for node capabilities, performance metrics, and connection quality
- **Level Configuration**: Define interfaces for level configurations, system configuration, and routing rules
- **Voting System Types**: Define interfaces for votes, vote tallies, and voting configuration
- **Tier Management Types**: Define interfaces for tier statistics and configuration
- **Plugin Interface**: Define the base plugin interface
### 2. Node-Specific Types (`src/node/types.ts`)
This file defines interfaces specific to the NetworkNode component to avoid circular dependencies:
- **INetworkNodeIdentity**: A lightweight interface representing node identity
- **Component Interfaces**: Define interfaces for VotingManager, MessageRouter, and NetworkStats
### 3. NetworkNode Implementation (`src/node/node.ts`)
The NetworkNode class is the fundamental building block of the system. It should:
- Maintain parent-child relationships in the hierarchy
- Track siblings at the same level
- Support dynamic level changes (promotion/demotion)
- Provide message routing capabilities
- Configure behavior based on level
- Support plugin registration and management
#### Key Methods to Implement
- **Parent-Child Management**:
- `addChild`: Add a child node to this node
- `removeChild`: Remove a child node
- `canAcceptChildren`: Check if this node can accept more children
- **Sibling Management**:
- `addSibling`: Add a sibling node
- `removeSibling`: Remove a sibling relationship
- **Messaging**:
- `sendMessage`: Send a message to another node
- Process incoming messages
- **Level Management**:
- `tryPromote`: Attempt to promote this node to the next level
- `demote`: Demote this node to a lower level
- **Plugin Management**:
- `registerPlugin`: Register a plugin with this node
- `removePlugin`: Remove a plugin
- `getPlugin`: Get a plugin by ID
#### Edge Cases to Handle
- **Level Changes**: When a node changes level, children must be redistributed
- **Parent Disconnection**: When a parent disconnects, child nodes must find new parents
- **Circular References**: Avoid circular parent-child relationships
- **Level Configuration**: Apply the correct configuration based on the node's level
- **Message Routing**: Ensure messages are routed correctly based on the hierarchy
### 4. NetworkSystem Implementation (`src/network/network.ts`)
The NetworkSystem class manages the entire network of nodes. It should:
- Create and remove nodes
- Place nodes in the hierarchy
- Find appropriate parents for nodes
- Manage the tier structure
- Handle node disconnections and reconnections
#### Key Methods to Implement
- **Node Management**:
- `createNode`: Create a new node with the specified properties
- `removeNode`: Remove a node from the system
- `getNode`: Get a node by ID
- `getAllNodes`: Get all nodes in the system
- **Hierarchy Management**:
- `findBestParent`: Find the most suitable parent for a node
- `placeNodeInHierarchy`: Place a node in the hierarchy
- `getNodesByLevel`: Get all nodes at a specific level
- **Event Handling**:
- `handleNodeDisconnection`: Handle a node disconnecting
- `handleNodeReconnection`: Handle a node reconnecting
#### Edge Cases to Handle
- **Empty Levels**: Handle situations where an entire level becomes empty
- **Disconnection Cascades**: Prevent cascading disconnections from destabilizing the system
- **Reconnection Loops**: Prevent infinite reconnection attempts
- **Configuration Inconsistencies**: Validate level configurations to ensure they're consistent
## Implementation Requirements
### Node Relationships
Node relationships should be flexible but controlled:
1. **Parent-Child Relationships**:
- A node can have only one parent
- A node's level must be one less than its parent's level
- A node cannot be its own ancestor (no cycles in the hierarchy)
- Level 0 nodes (clients) cannot have children
2. **Sibling Relationships**:
- Siblings must be at the same level
- Sibling relationships should be bidirectional
- The number of siblings should not exceed the level's maxSiblings parameter
### Level Configuration
Each level needs specific configuration:
1. **Level 0 (Client)**:
- Cannot have children
- No hosting responsibilities
- May have unlimited siblings
2. **Level 1 (Host)**:
- Limited number of children (typically 20)
- Limited number of siblings (typically 10)
- Handles message routing for its children
3. **Level 2+ (Tier Host, Region Host, etc.)**:
- Each higher level has fewer hosts but more responsibilities
- Higher levels need higher performance thresholds
- Higher levels may route messages differently
### Performance Metrics
Nodes need to track and report performance metrics:
1. **System Metrics**:
- CPU load
- Memory usage
- Network usage
- Battery level (for mobile devices)
2. **Connection Metrics**:
- Latency/ping times to connected nodes
- Packet loss
- Bandwidth
- Jitter
- Connection stability
### Message Handling
The basic message flow implementation should support:
1. **Message Types**:
- Direct messages (node to node)
- Broadcasts (to all or a subset of nodes)
- System messages (for internal coordination)
2. **Message Priorities**:
- Critical messages (highest priority)
- High priority messages
- Medium priority messages
- Low priority messages (lowest priority)
3. **Message Routing**:
- Upward routing (to parent)
- Downward routing (to children)
- Hierarchical routing (up then down)
- Multi-level routing (optimized path)
- Broadcast routing (to all connected nodes)
## Testing Strategy
### NetworkNode Tests
1. **Relationship Tests**:
- Test adding/removing children
- Test handling parent changes
- Test sibling relationships
2. **Level Management Tests**:
- Test promotion criteria
- Test demotion criteria
- Test level-specific behavior
3. **Message Routing Tests**:
- Test sending messages to parent
- Test sending messages to children
- Test handling unknown recipients
### NetworkSystem Tests
1. **Node Management Tests**:
- Test creating nodes with different capabilities
- Test removing nodes
- Test retrieving nodes
2. **Hierarchy Tests**:
- Test placement algorithms
- Test finding best parent
- Test handling disconnections
3. **Configuration Tests**:
- Test level configuration application
- Test system configuration validation
## Edge Cases and Considerations
### 1. Memory Management
Be careful with bidirectional references to avoid memory leaks:
- Use weak references where appropriate
- Clean up event listeners when nodes are removed
- Ensure circular references are properly handled
### 2. Event Propagation
Consider how events propagate through the hierarchy:
- Should events bubble up to parents?
- Should parents broadcast events to children?
- How are events handled when the hierarchy changes?
### 3. Concurrency
Consider concurrent operations on the node hierarchy:
- What happens if a node is added while the hierarchy is being reorganized?
- How are race conditions handled when multiple nodes disconnect simultaneously?
- How is message ordering maintained during hierarchy changes?
### 4. Error Handling
Implement robust error handling:
- Handle transport failures gracefully
- Validate all inputs, especially network messages
- Provide meaningful error messages for debugging
### 5. Configuration Validation
Validate system configuration to prevent issues:
- Ensure level configurations are consistent
- Validate routing configurations
- Check for missing required configuration fields
## Integration Points
The core components should be designed with clear integration points for future phases:
1. **Transport Integration**: NetworkNode should use the ITransport interface
2. **Voting Integration**: NetworkNode should prepare for VotingManager integration
3. **Plugin System**: NetworkNode should support plugin registration
4. **Tier Management**: NetworkSystem should prepare for TierManager integration
## Performance Considerations
Even in this foundational phase, consider performance:
1. **Message Handling**: Optimize message routing algorithm
2. **Node Storage**: Use efficient data structures for node lookups
3. **Event Handling**: Avoid unnecessary event emissions
## Success Criteria
This phase is complete when:
1. All core types and interfaces are defined
2. NetworkNode fully implements parent-child relationships
3. NetworkNode correctly adapts behavior based on level
4. NetworkSystem can create, place, and manage nodes
5. Basic message routing works correctly
6. All tests pass with 100% code coverage
7. Edge cases are properly handled and tested
The foundation laid in this phase will support all subsequent development, so it's critical to ensure it's robust, well-tested, and extensible.

- Direct and group messaging
- Message delivery status tracking
- Automatic recovery when hosts disconnect
- Basic user presence information
### Implementation
```typescript
// Example structure for chat application
class ChatClient {
private network: NetworkNode;
private username: string;
private conversations: Map<string, Conversation>;
constructor(username: string) {
// Initialize network node
this.username = username;
this.conversations = new Map();
// Create network node using our library
this.network = new NetworkNode(
generateNodeId(),
new MemoryTransport(), // Use MemoryTransport for this example - external transports would be used in production
0, // Start as client
{
cpuCores: navigator.hardwareConcurrency,
memory: 8192, // Estimated memory in MB
networkType: 'wifi',
deviceType: 'desktop',
isMobile: false
},
defaultNetworkConfig
);
// Register message handlers
this.network.messageRouter.registerRoute('chat.message', this.handleChatMessage.bind(this));
this.network.messageRouter.registerRoute('chat.presence', this.handlePresenceUpdate.bind(this));
// Set up event listeners
this.network.on('node:promoted', this.handlePromoted.bind(this));
this.network.on('node:demoted', this.handleDemoted.bind(this));
}
async connect() {
// Connect to the network
await this.network.transport.connect();
// Announce presence
this.broadcastPresence('online');
}
async sendMessage(recipient: string, content: string) {
// Create message payload
const message = {
id: generateMessageId(),
sender: this.username,
content,
timestamp: Date.now()
};
// Send through network
await this.network.sendMessage({
id: message.id,
type: 'chat.message',
sender: this.network.id,
recipient,
timestamp: Date.now(),
priority: 1, // High priority
payload: message
});
// Update local conversation
this.addMessageToConversation(recipient, message);
}
// Handler methods, presence management, etc.
}
```
### Example UI Integration
```typescript
// Simple integration with web UI
document.getElementById('connect-btn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
const username = document.getElementById('username-input').value;
// Create chat client
window.chatClient = new ChatClient(username);
// Connect to network
await window.chatClient.connect();
// Update UI
updateConnectionStatus('Connected');
showChatInterface();
});
document.getElementById('send-btn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
const recipient = document.getElementById('recipient-input').value;
const content = document.getElementById('message-input').value;
// Send message
await window.chatClient.sendMessage(recipient, content);
// Clear input
document.getElementById('message-input').value = '';
});
// UI update handlers for incoming messages, presence changes, etc.
```
## Example Application: Distributed Counter
A distributed counter shows state synchronization features:
### Features

private localValue: number = 0;
private updateListeners: ((value: number) => void)[] = [];
constructor() {
// Initialize network components
this.network = createNetworkNode();
// Initialize state manager
this.stateManager = new StateManager();
// Register state type
this.stateManager.registerStateType('counter', {
serialize: (value) => ({ value, lastUpdated: Date.now() }),
deserialize: (data) => data.value,
merge: (local, remote, metadata) => {
// Simple "largest wins" strategy
return Math.max(local, remote);
},
diff: (oldValue, newValue) => newValue - oldValue,
patch: (value, patch) => value + patch
});
// Subscribe to counter state changes
this.stateManager.subscribe('counter', 'value', (newValue) => {
this.localValue = newValue;
this.notifyListeners();
});
// Set initial value
this.stateManager.setState('counter', 'value', 0);
}
increment() {
// Update local value
this.localValue++;
// Update state
this.stateManager.setState('counter', 'value', this.localValue);
// Notify listeners
this.notifyListeners();
}
getValue(): number {
return this.localValue;
}
onUpdate(listener: (value: number) => void) {
this.updateListeners.push(listener);
}
private notifyListeners() {
for (const listener of this.updateListeners) {
listener(this.localValue);
}
}
}
```
## Testing Methodology
### Integration Test Framework
The integration test framework should provide:
1. **Environment Setup**:
- Network creation with configurable parameters
- Scenario-specific initialization
- Environment reset between tests
2. **Test Control Flow**:
- Sequence definition for test steps
- Timing control (sync points, delays, etc.)
- Conditional branching based on system state
3. **Observation and Verification**:
- Monitoring hooks for system behaviors
- Assertion utilities for expected conditions
- Timeline tracking of events
4. **Reporting**:
- Detailed test results with pass/fail status
- Performance metrics from tests
- Diagnostic information for failures
### Test Implementation Patterns
Integration tests should follow these patterns:
1. **Arrange-Act-Assert**:
- Arrange: Set up the test environment
- Act: Perform the test operations
- Assert: Verify the expected outcomes
2. **Given-When-Then**:
- Given: Initial system state
- When: Events or actions occur
- Then: Expected outcomes
3. **Setup-Exercise-Verify-Teardown**:
- Setup: Prepare the test environment
- Exercise: Run the system under test
- Verify: Check expected behaviors
- Teardown: Clean up resources
### Example Test Structure
```typescript
describe('Network Partition Recovery', () => {
let testHarness: NetworkTestHarness;
beforeEach(async () => {
// Create test harness
testHarness = new NetworkTestHarness();
// Create network topology
await testHarness.createStandardTopology({
levels: 3,
nodesPerLevel: [50, 10, 3, 1],
seedNode: true
});
// Verify initial connectivity
expect(testHarness.isFullyConnected()).toBe(true);
});
afterEach(async () => {
// Clean up resources
await testHarness.shutdown();
});
test('recovers from simple network partition', async () => {
// Create partition
const [groupA, groupB] = testHarness.createPartition(0.5);
// Allow time for partition detection
await testHarness.advanceTime(5000);
// Verify each partition has reorganized
expect(testHarness.hasValidHierarchy(groupA)).toBe(true);
expect(testHarness.hasValidHierarchy(groupB)).toBe(true);
// Test message delivery within partitions
const messageA = await testHarness.sendTestMessage(groupA[0], groupA[1]);
expect(messageA.delivered).toBe(true);
// Heal partition
testHarness.healPartition();
// Allow time for recovery
await testHarness.advanceTime(10000);
// Verify network has reconciled
expect(testHarness.isFullyConnected()).toBe(true);
expect(testHarness.hasValidHierarchy(testHarness.getAllNodes())).toBe(true);
// Verify cross-partition messaging
const messageB = await testHarness.sendTestMessage(groupA[0], groupB[0]);
expect(messageB.delivered).toBe(true);
});
test('recovers from multi-level partition', async () => {
// More complex test case...
});
});

# Phase 2: Transport Layer
## Overview
Phase 2 focuses on implementing the transport abstraction layer and the first concrete transport implementation: MemoryTransport. The transport layer is responsible for handling the actual communication between nodes, while hiding the implementation details from the higher-level components. This phase builds upon the core framework established in Phase 1.
## Important Note on Transport Implementations
This library implements only the in-memory transport for testing and simulation purposes. External transport mechanisms like WebRTC and WebSockets **will be implemented as separate libraries** that use the transport interfaces defined here. The transport abstraction layer should be designed to accommodate these future external implementations.
## Key Components
### 1. Transport Interfaces (`src/transport/types.ts`)
The transport interfaces define the contract that all transport implementations must follow. This abstraction allows the higher-level components to work with any transport mechanism without modification.
#### ITransport Interface
The `ITransport` interface should define:
- Methods for connection management
- Methods for message sending/receiving
- Methods for state querying
- Event handling for transport-specific events
Key properties and methods:
- **id**: A unique identifier for the transport
- **connect()**: Establish a connection
- **disconnect()**: Terminate a connection
- **sendTo()**: Send a message to a specific recipient
- **getState()**: Get the current connection state
- **getStats()**: Get transport-specific statistics
- **on()/off()**: Add/remove event listeners
#### ConnectionOptions Interface
Define options for establishing connections:
- **timeout**: Maximum time to wait for connection
- **metadata**: Additional transport-specific data
- **retryPolicy**: Configuration for retry behavior
#### TransportStats Interface
Define statistics that transports should report:
- **latency**: Network latency measurements
- **packetLoss**: Percentage of lost packets
- **bandwidth**: Available bandwidth
- **jitter**: Latency variation
- **reliabilityScore**: Overall reliability metric
#### NetworkConditions Interface
Define parameters for simulating network conditions:
- **latency**: Simulated network latency
- **jitter**: Variation in latency
- **packetLoss**: Percentage of dropped packets
- **bandwidth**: Maximum throughput
### 2. BaseTransport Implementation (`src/transport/transport.ts`)
The `BaseTransport` class should provide common functionality for all transport implementations:
- Event emission and handling
- Basic state management
- Common statistical tracking
- Default implementations where possible
This abstract class serves as a foundation that concrete transports can extend, reducing code duplication and ensuring consistent behavior.
#### Requirements
- Implement the ITransport interface
- Maintain connection state (connected, disconnected, etc.)
- Provide default event handling
- Track basic connection metrics
- Support mock/simulation capabilities
#### Edge Cases
- Handle connection failures
- Provide graceful degradation
- Support timeout management
- Handle multiple connection attempts
### 3. MemoryTransport Implementation (`src/transport/memory-transport.ts`)
The `MemoryTransport` is an in-memory implementation of the transport interface for testing and simulation. It should:
- Allow direct in-memory connections between nodes
- Support simulated network conditions
- Provide deterministic behavior for testing
#### Requirements
- Extend the BaseTransport class
- Implement direct in-memory message passing
- Support connecting to other MemoryTransport instances
- Simulate real-world network conditions
- Track and report detailed metrics
#### Key Features
- **Message Queue**: Queue for pending messages
- **Network Condition Simulation**: Simulate latency, packet loss, etc.
- **Peer Management**: Track connected peers
- **Serialization Simulation**: Simulate serialization/deserialization
#### Edge Cases
- Handle message ordering
- Simulate connection drops
- Support artificially delayed messages
- Handle disconnection during message transmission
### 4. TransportManager Implementation (`src/transport/transport-manager.ts`)
The `TransportManager` is responsible for managing multiple transport instances and providing transparent failover between them. It should:
- Register multiple transport implementations
- Select the appropriate transport based on priority
- Provide transparent failover if a transport fails
- Present a unified transport interface to higher-level components
#### Requirements
- Support multiple transport registrations with priorities
- Automatically select the highest-priority available transport
- Handle transport failures and failover
- Manage transparent reconnection
- Delegate message sending to the appropriate transport
- Forward events from the underlying transports
#### Key Features
- **Transport Registry**: Store registered transports with priorities
- **Failover Strategy**: Algorithm for selecting alternative transports
- **Connection State Management**: Track state across transports
- **Message Delegation**: Route messages to appropriate transport
#### Edge Cases
- Handle all transports failing
- Manage connection state across transport changes
- Handle message delivery during transport switching
- Prevent backpressure issues during failover
### 5. Failover Strategies (`src/transport/failover-strategies.ts`)
Implement different strategies for handling transport failover:
- **PrioritizedFailoverStrategy**: Select based on predefined priorities
- **PerformanceBasedStrategy**: Select based on transport performance
- **RoundRobinStrategy**: Distribute across available transports
#### Requirements
- Implement the IFailoverStrategy interface
- Provide pluggable strategy selection
- Support custom strategy implementation

1. **DISCONNECTED**: Not connected
2. **CONNECTING**: Attempting to connect
3. **CONNECTED**: Successfully connected
4. **RECONNECTING**: Lost connection and attempting to reconnect
5. **FAILED**: Connection failed and not attempting to reconnect
### Message Handling
Transport implementations must:
1. **Maintain Message Integrity**: Ensure messages aren't corrupted
2. **Preserve Message Order**: Where possible, maintain send order
3. **Handle Serialization**: Convert messages to a transmissible format
4. **Track Delivery Status**: Monitor successful/failed deliveries
### Performance Requirements
The transport layer should:
1. **Minimize Overhead**: Add minimal overhead to message processing
2. **Be Responsive**: Quickly detect and react to connection changes

- Test custom strategy implementation
- Test strategy switching
2. **Recovery Tests**:
- Test transports returning to service
- Test backoff and retry behavior
- Test permanent failure handling
## Edge Cases and Considerations
### 1. Race Conditions
Consider race conditions in the transport layer:
- What happens if disconnect is called during connection establishment?
- How are simultaneous connect attempts handled?
- What if a message is sent during transport switching?
### 2. Resource Management
Consider resource constraints:
- How many concurrent connections can be maintained?
- How are resources cleaned up after disconnection?
- How is backpressure handled if messages outpace sending capacity?
### 3. Error Propagation
Consider how errors propagate:
- How are transport-specific errors translated to generic errors?
- Should certain errors be handled at the transport level vs. propagated?
- How detailed should error information be?
### 4. Reconnection Behavior
Implement robust reconnection:
- Exponential backoff for reconnection attempts
- Maximum retry limits
- Different strategies based on disconnection cause
### 5. Message Reliability
Consider reliability mechanisms:
- Acknowledgment systems for critical messages
- Timeout and retry logic
- Duplicate message detection
## Integration Points
The transport layer should integrate with:
1. **NetworkNode**: Via the ITransport interface
2. **Serialization**: For message format conversion
3. **Network Conditions Simulation**: For testing and development
4. **Monitoring**: For performance metrics and debugging
## Memory Transport Simulation Capabilities
The MemoryTransport should support these simulation features:
1. **Latency Simulation**: Configurable delay ranges
2. **Packet Loss**: Random or patterned message dropping
3. **Bandwidth Limitation**: Throttling message throughput
4. **Connection Drops**: Simulated disconnections
5. **Reordering**: Simulated out-of-order delivery
## Future External Transport Integration
The transport interfaces and abstractions should be designed to facilitate future external transport plugins:
1. **Well-Defined Boundaries**: Clear interface contracts that external transports must implement
2. **Minimal Dependencies**: Transport implementations should only depend on core interfaces
3. **Extensibility Points**: Allow transports to expose transport-specific features
4. **Consistent Event Model**: Standardized event names and payloads across all transports
5. **Comprehensive Documentation**: Clear guidance for implementing new transport plugins
## Success Criteria

export interface ConnectionOptions {
timeout?: number;
retries?: number;
metadata?: Record<string, any>;
}
export interface TransportStats {
latency: number;
packetLoss: number;
bandwidth: number;
// Additional stats
}
export enum TransportState {
DISCONNECTED = 'disconnected',
CONNECTING = 'connecting',
CONNECTED = 'connected',
DISCONNECTING = 'disconnecting',
ERROR = 'error'
}
export interface TransportCapabilities {
supportsReliableDelivery: boolean;
supportsOrdering: boolean;
supportsBroadcast: boolean;
supportsMulticast: boolean;
// Additional capabilities
}
export interface ITransport {
readonly id: string;
readonly state: TransportState;
readonly capabilities: TransportCapabilities;
connect(options?: ConnectionOptions): Promise<void>;
disconnect(): Promise<void>;
sendTo(recipient: string, message: any): Promise<void>;
getStats(): TransportStats;
on(event: string, handler: Function): void;
off(event: string, handler?: Function): void;
}
export interface ITransportPlugin {
readonly id: string;
readonly version: string;
readonly capabilities: TransportCapabilities;
initialize(options: any): Promise<void>;
createTransport(nodeId: string, config: any): ITransport;
// Lifecycle hooks
onRegister(): void;
onUnregister(): void;
}
```
### 2. Base Transport Abstract Class
Next, we'll implement an abstract base class that provides common functionality for transport implementations:
```typescript
// src/transport/base-transport.ts
export abstract class BaseTransport implements ITransport {
protected _id: string;
protected _state: TransportState = TransportState.DISCONNECTED;
protected _eventEmitter: INetworkEventEmitter;
constructor(id: string, eventEmitter?: INetworkEventEmitter) {
this._id = id;
this._eventEmitter = eventEmitter || new NetworkEventEmitter();
}
get id(): string {
return this._id;
}
get state(): TransportState {
return this._state;
}
abstract get capabilities(): TransportCapabilities;
abstract connect(options?: ConnectionOptions): Promise<void>;
abstract disconnect(): Promise<void>;
abstract sendTo(recipient: string, message: any): Promise<void>;
abstract getStats(): TransportStats;
on(event: string, handler: Function): void {
this._eventEmitter.on(event, handler);
}
off(event: string, handler?: Function): void {
this._eventEmitter.off(event, handler);
}
protected _setState(state: TransportState): void {
this._state = state;
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.STATE_CHANGED, this, state);
}
}
```
### 3. Memory Transport Implementation
We'll implement an in-memory transport for testing and simulation:
```typescript
// src/transport/memory-transport.ts
export class MemoryTransport extends BaseTransport {
private static _instances: Map<string, MemoryTransport> = new Map();
private _messageQueue: Map<string, Queue<any>> = new Map();
private _connectionStats: TransportStats;
private _simOptions: MemoryTransportSimulationOptions;
constructor(id: string, options?: MemoryTransportOptions) {
super(id, options?.eventEmitter);
this._simOptions = options?.simulationOptions || {};
this._connectionStats = this._createDefaultStats();
// Register instance globally so other memory transports can communicate
MemoryTransport._instances.set(id, this);
}
get capabilities(): TransportCapabilities {
return {
supportsReliableDelivery: !this._simOptions.packetLoss,
supportsOrdering: true,
supportsBroadcast: true,
supportsMulticast: true
};
}
async connect(options?: ConnectionOptions): Promise<void> {
if (this._state === TransportState.CONNECTED) {
return;
}
this._setState(TransportState.CONNECTING);
// Simulate connection delay
if (this._simOptions.connectionDelay) {
await new Promise(resolve =>
setTimeout(resolve, this._simOptions.connectionDelay));
}
// Simulate connection errors
if (this._simOptions.connectionErrorRate &&
Math.random() < this._simOptions.connectionErrorRate) {
this._setState(TransportState.ERROR);
throw new Error('Simulated connection error');
}
this._setState(TransportState.CONNECTED);
}
async disconnect(): Promise<void> {
if (this._state === TransportState.DISCONNECTED) {
return;
}
this._setState(TransportState.DISCONNECTING);
// Simulate disconnection delay
if (this._simOptions.disconnectionDelay) {
await new Promise(resolve =>
setTimeout(resolve, this._simOptions.disconnectionDelay));
}
this._setState(TransportState.DISCONNECTED);
// Cleanup
MemoryTransport._instances.delete(this._id);
}
async sendTo(recipient: string, message: any): Promise<void> {
if (this._state !== TransportState.CONNECTED) {
throw new Error('Cannot send message: transport not connected');
}
// Find recipient instance
const recipientTransport = MemoryTransport._instances.get(recipient);
if (!recipientTransport) {
throw new Error(`Recipient not found: ${recipient}`);
}
// Clone message to simulate network isolation
const messageClone = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(message));
// Simulate network conditions
if (this._simOptions.latency) {
await new Promise(resolve =>
setTimeout(resolve, this._simOptions.latency));
}
// Simulate packet loss
if (this._simOptions.packetLoss &&
Math.random() < this._simOptions.packetLoss) {
// Message lost, but don't throw - silently drop
return;
}
// Deliver message
recipientTransport._receiveMessage(this._id, messageClone);
}
getStats(): TransportStats {
return { ...this._connectionStats };
}
// Additional methods for simulation control
setSimulationOptions(options: Partial<MemoryTransportSimulationOptions>): void {
this._simOptions = { ...this._simOptions, ...options };
}
private _receiveMessage(sender: string, message: any): void {
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, message, sender);
}
private _createDefaultStats(): TransportStats {
return {
latency: this._simOptions.latency || 0,
packetLoss: this._simOptions.packetLoss || 0,
bandwidth: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY
};
}
}
```
### 4. Transport Manager Implementation
Next, we'll implement the TransportManager to handle multiple transport types:
```typescript
// src/transport/transport-manager.ts
export class TransportManager {
private _transports: Map<string, ITransport> = new Map();
private _plugins: Map<string, ITransportPlugin> = new Map();
private _config: TransportManagerConfig;
private _eventEmitter: INetworkEventEmitter;
constructor(config?: Partial<TransportManagerConfig>, eventEmitter?: INetworkEventEmitter) {
this._config = { ...this._getDefaultConfig(), ...config };
this._eventEmitter = eventEmitter || new NetworkEventEmitter();
}
registerTransport(transport: ITransport): boolean {
if (this._transports.has(transport.id)) {
return false;
}
this._transports.set(transport.id, transport);
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.TRANSPORT_REGISTERED, transport);
return true;
}
removeTransport(transportId: string): boolean {
const transport = this._transports.get(transportId);
if (!transport) {
return false;
}
this._transports.delete(transportId);
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.TRANSPORT_UNREGISTERED, transport);
return true;
}
getTransport(transportId: string): ITransport | undefined {
return this._transports.get(transportId);
}
registerPlugin(plugin: ITransportPlugin): boolean {
if (this._plugins.has(plugin.id)) {
return false;
}
this._plugins.set(plugin.id, plugin);
plugin.onRegister();
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.PLUGIN_REGISTERED, plugin);
return true;
}
removePlugin(pluginId: string): boolean {
const plugin = this._plugins.get(pluginId);
if (!plugin) {
return false;
}
this._plugins.delete(pluginId);
plugin.onUnregister();
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.PLUGIN_UNREGISTERED, plugin);
return true;
}
getPlugin(pluginId: string): ITransportPlugin | undefined {
return this._plugins.get(pluginId);
}
createTransport(nodeId: string, pluginId: string, config?: any): ITransport | null {
const plugin = this._plugins.get(pluginId);
if (!plugin) {
return null;
}
try {
const transport = plugin.createTransport(nodeId, config);
this.registerTransport(transport);
return transport;
} catch (error) {
this._eventEmitter.emit(TransportEvents.TRANSPORT_ERROR, error);
return null;
}
}
private _getDefaultConfig(): TransportManagerConfig {
return {
transportFallbackOrder: [],
defaultTransportOptions: {}
};
}
}
```
### 5. Transport Plugin Development Kit (PDK)
Now, we'll create a plugin development kit to make it easier to develop transport plugins:
```typescript
// src/transport/pdk/base-transport-plugin.ts
export abstract class BaseTransportPlugin implements ITransportPlugin {
readonly id: string;
readonly version: string;
protected _initialized: boolean = false;
constructor(id: string, version: string) {
this.id = id;
this.version = version;
}
abstract get capabilities(): TransportCapabilities;
abstract createTransport(nodeId: string, config: any): ITransport;
async initialize(options: any): Promise<void> {
// Base implementation
this._initialized = true;
}
onRegister(): void {
// Base implementation
}
onUnregister(): void {
// Base implementation
}
}
// src/transport/pdk/transport-testing.ts
export class TransportTester {
static async testBasicFunctionality(transport: ITransport): Promise<boolean> {
// Test connection
let success = true;
try {
await transport.connect();
success = success && transport.state === TransportState.CONNECTED;
// Test disconnection
await transport.disconnect();
success = success && transport.state === TransportState.DISCONNECTED;
} catch (error) {
return false;
}
return success;
}
static async testReliability(
sender: ITransport,
receiver: ITransport,
messageCount: number = 100
): Promise<number> {
// Connect both transports
await sender.connect();
await receiver.connect();
// Track received messages
let receivedCount = 0;
const handler = () => receivedCount++;
receiver.on(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, handler);
// Send messages
for (let i = 0; i < messageCount; i++) {
await sender.sendTo(receiver.id, { test: true, sequence: i });
}
// Wait for possible delayed messages
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
// Cleanup
receiver.off(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, handler);
await sender.disconnect();
await receiver.disconnect();
// Return reliability ratio (0-1)
return receivedCount / messageCount;
}
}
```
### 6. Memory Transport Plugin
We'll create a plugin for our memory transport:
```typescript
// src/transport/plugins/memory-transport-plugin.ts
export class MemoryTransportPlugin extends BaseTransportPlugin {
constructor() {
super('memory-transport', '1.0.0');
}
get capabilities(): TransportCapabilities {
return {
supportsReliableDelivery: true,
supportsOrdering: true,
supportsBroadcast: true,
supportsMulticast: true
};
}
createTransport(nodeId: string, config: any): ITransport {
return new MemoryTransport(nodeId, config);
}
}
```
### 7. Transport Events
We'll add transport-specific events:
```typescript
// src/transport/events.ts
export enum TransportEvents {
// Connection events
CONNECTING = 'transport:connecting',
CONNECTED = 'transport:connected',
DISCONNECTING = 'transport:disconnecting',
DISCONNECTED = 'transport:disconnected',
CONNECTION_ERROR = 'transport:connection-error',
// Message events
MESSAGE_SENT = 'transport:message-sent',
MESSAGE_RECEIVED = 'transport:message-received',
MESSAGE_ERROR = 'transport:message-error',
// Transport management events
STATE_CHANGED = 'transport:state-changed',
TRANSPORT_REGISTERED = 'transport:registered',
TRANSPORT_UNREGISTERED = 'transport:unregistered',
// Plugin events
PLUGIN_REGISTERED = 'transport:plugin-registered',
PLUGIN_UNREGISTERED = 'transport:plugin-unregistered',
// Error events
TRANSPORT_ERROR = 'transport:error'
}
```
### 8. Integrate with NetworkNode
Finally, we'll update the NetworkNode class to use the transport layer:
```typescript
// Updates to NetworkNode class
class NetworkNode {
// ... existing implementation
// Update constructor to accept transport
constructor(
id: string,
level: number,
capabilities: NodeCapabilities,
transport?: ITransport,
config?: NetworkSystemConfig,
eventEmitter?: INetworkEventEmitter
) {
// ... existing implementation
// Set transport if provided
if (transport) {
this._transport = transport;
this._setupTransportEvents();
}
}
// Add method to set transport
setTransport(transport: ITransport): void {
if (this._transport) {
this._teardownTransportEvents();
}
this._transport = transport;
this._setupTransportEvents();
}
// Update sendMessage to use transport
async sendMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void> {
if (!this._transport || this._transport.state !== TransportState.CONNECTED) {
throw new Error('Cannot send message: transport not connected or unavailable');
}
// Emit event for monitoring
this._events.emit(NetworkEvents.MESSAGE_SENT, message, this);
// Send via transport
if (message.targetId) {
await this._transport.sendTo(message.targetId, message);
} else {
// Handle broadcast or hierarchical routing in later phases
await this._routeMessage(message);
}
}
// Add private methods for transport events
private _setupTransportEvents(): void {
if (!this._transport) return;
this._transport.on(TransportEvents.CONNECTED, () => {
this._state = NodeState.CONNECTED;
this._events.emit(NetworkEvents.NODE_CONNECTED, this);
});
this._transport.on(TransportEvents.DISCONNECTED, () => {
this._state = NodeState.DISCONNECTED;
this._events.emit(NetworkEvents.NODE_DISCONNECTED, this);
});
this._transport.on(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, (message, senderId) => {
this._events.emit(NetworkEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, message, this);
this._handleIncomingMessage(message);
});
}
private _teardownTransportEvents(): void {
if (!this._transport) return;
this._transport.off(TransportEvents.CONNECTED);
this._transport.off(TransportEvents.DISCONNECTED);
this._transport.off(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED);
}
}
```

# Phase 3: Message Routing
## Overview
Phase 3 focuses on implementing the message routing system, which is responsible for directing messages through the network hierarchy. This system must efficiently route messages based on priorities, optimize paths, and handle various routing scenarios. Building on the core framework and transport layer from previous phases, the message routing system forms a crucial part of the network's communication capabilities.
## Key Components
### 1. MessageRouter Implementation (`src/router/router.ts`)
The `MessageRouter` class is responsible for determining how messages should travel through the network. It should:
- Allow registration of route handlers for specific message types
- Determine the appropriate routing strategy based on message properties
- Support various routing modes (upward, downward, hierarchical, etc.)
- Optimize paths for message delivery
#### Core Features
- **Route Registration**: Register handlers for specific message patterns
- **Route Unregistration**: Remove previously registered handlers
- **Message Routing**: Route messages based on recipient and routing config
- **Path Calculation**: Determine the optimal path for a message
#### Implementation Requirements
- Support pattern-based routing (exact matches, wildcards, regex)
- Support route prioritization
- Implement various routing strategies
- Provide default catch-all handler for unmatched messages
#### Edge Cases
- Handle undeliverable messages
- Prevent routing loops
- Handle timeouts for message routing
- Support message cancellation
### 2. PriorityMessageQueue Implementation (`src/router/priority-queue.ts`)
The `PriorityMessageQueue` manages message ordering based on priority. It should:
- Queue messages according to their priority level
- Process higher priority messages before lower priority ones
- Support batched processing for efficiency
- Implement rate limiting and backpressure mechanisms
#### Core Features
- **Priority-Based Queueing**: Insert messages in priority order
- **Batch Processing**: Process messages in batches for efficiency
- **Rate Limiting**: Control message processing rate
- **Queue Management**: Handle queue growth and cleanup
#### Implementation Requirements
- Support multiple priority levels
- Provide configurable batch sizes
- Implement pause/resume functionality
- Track queue statistics for monitoring
#### Edge Cases
- Handle queue overflow
- Prevent starvation of low-priority messages
- Manage memory usage for large queues
- Handle queue persistence during reconnection
### 3. MessageBatcher Implementation (`src/router/message-batcher.ts`)
The `MessageBatcher` groups related messages together for more efficient processing. It should:
- Batch messages of similar types
- Apply batching strategies based on message properties
- Flush batches based on triggers (time, size, priority)
- Support custom batching logic
#### Core Features
- **Message Buffering**: Group messages by type or other criteria
- **Batch Flushing**: Send batches based on triggers
- **Buffer Management**: Manage buffer sizes and timeouts
- **Batch Optimization**: Optimize batch sizes for network conditions
#### Implementation Requirements
- Support configurable batch sizes
- Implement various flushing strategies
- Provide manual and automatic flushing
- Track batch statistics
#### Edge Cases
- Handle partial batch delivery failures
- Manage priority within batches
- Handle timeouts for incomplete batches
- Support batch cancellation
## Message Routing Strategies
### 1. Upward-Only Routing
Messages travel only up the hierarchy:
- Node → Parent → Parent's parent, etc.
- Useful for client-to-server communication
- Simplest routing strategy
### 2. Downward-Only Routing
Messages travel only down the hierarchy:
- Node → Children → Children's children, etc.
- Useful for server-to-client broadcasts
- Requires knowledge of the target's position in the hierarchy
### 3. Hierarchical Routing
Messages travel up, then down the hierarchy:
- Source → Parent → ... → Common ancestor → ... → Recipient
- Standard routing approach for most messages
- Requires finding the lowest common ancestor
### 4. Multi-Level Routing
Messages can take shortcuts through the hierarchy:
- May skip levels for efficiency
- Can use sibling connections to avoid going through parents
- More complex but more efficient for specific scenarios
### 5. Broadcast Routing
Messages are sent to multiple recipients:
- Can be targeted to specific levels or the entire network
- Uses a combination of other strategies for delivery
- Must handle duplicates and loops
## Priority-Based Routing
The system should implement priority-based routing:
### 1. Critical Messages (Priority 0)
- Take the most direct path possible, potentially skipping levels
- Bypass queues where possible
- May use multiple redundant paths for reliability
### 2. High Priority Messages (Priority 1)
- Use optimized routing that may skip levels
- Processed before lower priority messages
- Delivered with high reliability guarantees
### 3. Medium Priority Messages (Priority 2)
- Use standard hierarchical routing
- May be delayed by higher priority messages
- Balance between efficiency and resource usage
### 4. Low Priority Messages (Priority 3)
- Use resource-efficient routing, even if slower
- May be batched aggressively
- Can be dropped during network congestion
## Routing Configuration
The routing system should be highly configurable:
```typescript
// Example configuration interface
interface MessageRoutingConfig {
routingMode: RoutingMode;
maxRoutingDistance: number;
priorityRoutingRules: {
[priority: number]: {
routingMode: RoutingMode;
maxRoutingDistance: number;
}
};
// Optional additional properties
timeToLive?: number; // Max hops before message expires
duplicateDetection?: boolean; // Enable duplicate detection
acknowledgement?: boolean; // Require acknowledgment
retryAttempts?: number; // Number of delivery attempts
retryDelay?: number; // Delay between retries
}
```
## Implementation Details
### Message Router
The MessageRouter should use pattern matching for route registration:
```typescript
// Example patterns
router.registerRoute('chat.message', chatMessageHandler);
router.registerRoute('system.*', systemMessageHandler);
router.registerRoute(/^analytics\./, analyticsHandler);
```
The routing logic should:
1. Find the appropriate handler for the message type
2. Determine the routing strategy based on message priority
3. Calculate the path to the recipient
4. Forward the message along that path
### Priority Queue
The PriorityMessageQueue should implement:
1. Multiple internal queues, one per priority level
2. A processing loop that always takes from the highest priority non-empty queue
3. Batching to process multiple messages of the same priority
4. Rate limiting to prevent overwhelming the network
### Message Batcher
The MessageBatcher should:
1. Group messages by type and/or recipient
2. Apply configurable criteria for when to flush batches:
- Maximum batch size reached
- Maximum wait time elapsed
- High priority message forces a flush
- Manual flush triggered
3. Optimize batch size based on network conditions
## Testing Strategy
### MessageRouter Tests
1. **Route Registration Tests**:
- Test exact match routing
- Test wildcard pattern routing
- Test regex pattern routing
- Test route priority
2. **Routing Strategy Tests**:
- Test upward routing
- Test downward routing
- Test hierarchical routing
- Test multi-level routing
- Test broadcast routing
3. **Edge Case Tests**:
- Test routing with missing recipients
- Test routing when path is blocked
- Test routing during network changes
- Test handling of undeliverable messages
### PriorityMessageQueue Tests
1. **Priority Ordering Tests**:
- Test messages are processed in priority order
- Test same-priority messages are processed in FIFO order
- Test priority changes affect processing order
2. **Batch Processing Tests**:
- Test batch size configuration
- Test processing rate limits
- Test batch composition across priorities
3. **Resource Management Tests**:
- Test queue size limits
- Test memory usage patterns
- Test queue persistence during disconnection
### MessageBatcher Tests
1. **Batching Logic Tests**:
- Test message grouping by type
- Test batch size limits
- Test time-based flushing
- Test priority-based flushing
2. **Performance Tests**:
- Test throughput with batching vs. without
- Test latency impact of batching
- Test optimization based on network conditions
3. **Reliability Tests**:
- Test handling batch delivery failures
- Test batch retries
- Test partial batch processing
## Edge Cases and Considerations
### 1. Network Topology Changes
Consider how routing adapts to network changes:
- What happens to in-flight messages when topology changes?
- How are routing tables updated when nodes join/leave?
- How quickly do routing changes propagate?
### 2. Message Expiration
Implement time-to-live for messages:
- Messages should not circulate indefinitely
- Expired messages should be dropped with notifications
- TTL should be configurable per message type or priority
### 3. Routing Loops
Prevent messages from circulating indefinitely:
- Implement loop detection mechanisms
- Track message path history where needed
- Set maximum hop counts
### 4. Partial Network Failure
Handle partial network failures gracefully:
- Detect and route around failed nodes
- Queue messages for unreachable destinations
- Provide delivery status feedback
### 5. Backpressure
Implement backpressure mechanisms:
- Detect when downstream nodes are overwhelmed
- Slow down message production
- Prioritize essential messages during congestion
### 6. Large Messages
Handle large messages appropriately:
- Fragment large messages if needed
- Prioritize differently based on size
- Consider separate queues for large messages
## Integration Points
The message routing system should integrate with:
1. **NetworkNode**: Via the MessageRouter interface
2. **Transport Layer**: For actual message delivery
3. **Plugin System**: For custom routing strategies
4. **Monitoring**: For performance metrics and debugging
## Performance Optimization
Consider these optimizations:
1. **Route Caching**: Cache frequently used routing paths
2. **Eager Path Calculation**: Pre-calculate paths for known recipients
3. **Adaptive Batching**: Adjust batch sizes based on network conditions
4. **Priority Tuning**: Adjust priorities based on message patterns
## Success Criteria
This phase is complete when:
1. The MessageRouter correctly routes messages using all routing strategies
2. The PriorityMessageQueue processes messages in the correct order
3. The MessageBatcher efficiently groups and sends related messages
4. All routing configurations work as expected
5. Messages reach their destinations efficiently
6. Edge cases are properly handled
7. All tests pass with 100% code coverage
The message routing system is a critical component of the network library as it directly impacts the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of communication within the network. A well-implemented routing system will ensure messages flow optimally through the network even as it scales and evolves.

# Network Library Phase 3: Message Routing Implementation Plan
Having successfully completed Phase 2 with the Transport Layer implementation, we're now ready to move on to Phase 3, which focuses on Message Routing. This phase will build upon our transport capabilities to implement intelligent routing of messages across the network.
## Overview
Phase 3 focuses on creating a robust message routing system that can efficiently deliver messages between nodes, even when there's no direct connection between sender and recipient. This includes message prioritization, route discovery, and quality-of-service features.
## Implementation Goals
1. **Message Router Framework**: Create the core routing infrastructure
2. **Routing Algorithms**: Implement multiple routing strategies
3. **Prioritization System**: Build a quality-of-service framework
4. **Message Batching**: Optimize network usage with message grouping
5. **Route Discovery**: Implement mechanisms to find optimal paths
6. **Plugin Extension Points**: Allow customization of routing behaviors
## Detailed Implementation Plan
### 1. Message Router Core
First, we'll define the interfaces and base classes for the routing system:
```typescript
// src/router/types.ts
export interface RouteInfo {
nextHopId: string;
pathLength: number;
estimatedLatency: number;
reliability: number;
lastUpdated: number;
}
export interface RoutingTable {
getRoute(targetId: string): RouteInfo | null;
addRoute(targetId: string, route: RouteInfo): void;
removeRoute(targetId: string): boolean;
getAllRoutes(): Map<string, RouteInfo>;
clear(): void;
}
export interface IMessageRouter {
routeMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void>;
addRoutingTable(table: RoutingTable): void;
findRoute(targetId: string): RouteInfo | null;
updateRoutes(): Promise<void>;
}
export enum RoutingStrategy {
DIRECT = 'direct',
FLOOD = 'flood',
SHORTEST_PATH = 'shortest-path',
RANDOM = 'random',
CUSTOM = 'custom'
}
export interface RoutingConfig {
strategy: RoutingStrategy;
prioritization: boolean;
batchingEnabled: boolean;
batchInterval: number;
maxBatchSize: number;
retryCount: number;
routeUpdateInterval: number;
}
```
### 2. Basic Routing Table Implementation
Next, we'll implement a basic routing table:
```typescript
// src/router/routing-table.ts
export class BasicRoutingTable implements RoutingTable {
private _routes: Map<string, RouteInfo> = new Map();
getRoute(targetId: string): RouteInfo | null {
return this._routes.get(targetId) || null;
}
addRoute(targetId: string, route: RouteInfo): void {
this._routes.set(targetId, route);
}
removeRoute(targetId: string): boolean {
return this._routes.delete(targetId);
}
getAllRoutes(): Map<string, RouteInfo> {
return new Map(this._routes);
}
clear(): void {
this._routes.clear();
}
// Additional utility methods for route optimization
getBestRoute(targetId: string, criteria: 'latency' | 'reliability' | 'pathLength'): RouteInfo | null {
// Implementation
}
pruneStaleRoutes(maxAge: number): number {
// Implementation
}
}
```
### 3. Base Message Router
Now we'll implement the base message router class:
```typescript
// src/router/base-message-router.ts
export abstract class BaseMessageRouter implements IMessageRouter {
protected _routingTables: RoutingTable[] = [];
protected _node: NetworkNode;
protected _config: RoutingConfig;
protected _messageQueue: PriorityQueue<NetworkMessage>;
protected _batchingEnabled: boolean;
constructor(node: NetworkNode, config?: Partial<RoutingConfig>) {
this._node = node;
this._config = { ...this._getDefaultConfig(), ...config };
this._batchingEnabled = this._config.batchingEnabled;
this._messageQueue = new PriorityQueue<NetworkMessage>((a, b) =>
(a.priority || MessagePriority.NORMAL) - (b.priority || MessagePriority.NORMAL)
);
// Set up processing interval if batching is enabled
if (this._batchingEnabled) {
this._setupBatchProcessing();
}
}
abstract routeMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void>;
addRoutingTable(table: RoutingTable): void {
this._routingTables.push(table);
}
findRoute(targetId: string): RouteInfo | null {
// Check each routing table for a route
for (const table of this._routingTables) {
const route = table.getRoute(targetId);
if (route) {
return route;
}
}
return null;
}
abstract updateRoutes(): Promise<void>;
protected _getDefaultConfig(): RoutingConfig {
return {
strategy: RoutingStrategy.DIRECT,
prioritization: true,
batchingEnabled: false,
batchInterval: 100,
maxBatchSize: 10,
retryCount: 3,
routeUpdateInterval: 30000 // 30 seconds
};
}
protected _setupBatchProcessing(): void {
// Set up interval to process message batches
}
protected async _processBatch(): Promise<void> {
// Process a batch of messages based on priority
}
}
```
### 4. Routing Strategy Implementations
We'll implement multiple routing strategies:
```typescript
// src/router/strategies/direct-router.ts
export class DirectMessageRouter extends BaseMessageRouter {
async routeMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void> {
// Direct delivery to target if connected
if (this._node.transport && message.targetId) {
await this._node.transport.sendTo(message.targetId, message);
} else {
throw new Error('Cannot route message: no transport or target ID');
}
}
async updateRoutes(): Promise<void> {
// Direct routing doesn't need route updates
return Promise.resolve();
}
}
// src/router/strategies/flood-router.ts
export class FloodMessageRouter extends BaseMessageRouter {
async routeMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void> {
// Send to all connected nodes except source
const sentTo = new Set<string>();
// Send to parent if exists
if (this._node.parent && this._node.parent.id !== message.senderId) {
await this._node.parent.sendMessage(message);
sentTo.add(this._node.parent.id);
}
// Send to all children
for (const child of this._node.children) {
if (child.id !== message.senderId && !sentTo.has(child.id)) {
await child.sendMessage(message);
sentTo.add(child.id);
}
}
// Send to siblings
for (const sibling of this._node.siblings) {
if (sibling.id !== message.senderId && !sentTo.has(sibling.id)) {
await sibling.sendMessage(message);
sentTo.add(sibling.id);
}
}
}
async updateRoutes(): Promise<void> {
// Flooding doesn't need route updates
return Promise.resolve();
}
}
```
### 5. Message Prioritization System
Next, we'll implement message prioritization for quality-of-service:
```typescript
// src/router/priority-queue.ts
export class PriorityQueue<T> {
private _items: T[] = [];
private _comparator: (a: T, b: T) => number;
constructor(comparator: (a: T, b: T) => number) {
this._comparator = comparator;
}
enqueue(item: T): void {
this._items.push(item);
this._items.sort(this._comparator);
}
dequeue(): T | undefined {
return this._items.shift();
}
peek(): T | undefined {
return this._items[0];
}
get size(): number {
return this._items.length;
}
isEmpty(): boolean {
return this._items.length === 0;
}
clear(): void {
this._items = [];
}
}
// src/router/message-batching.ts
export class MessageBatch {
messages: NetworkMessage[] = [];
priority: MessagePriority;
timestamp: number;
constructor(priority: MessagePriority = MessagePriority.NORMAL) {
this.priority = priority;
this.timestamp = Date.now();
}
addMessage(message: NetworkMessage): void {
this.messages.push(message);
}
get size(): number {
return this.messages.length;
}
get averagePriority(): number {
if (this.messages.length === 0) return this.priority;
const sum = this.messages.reduce((acc, msg) =>
acc + (msg.priority || MessagePriority.NORMAL), 0);
return sum / this.messages.length;
}
}
```
### 6. Route Discovery System
We'll implement route discovery and optimization:
```typescript
// src/router/route-discovery.ts
export class RouteDiscoveryManager {
private _node: NetworkNode;
private _routingTable: RoutingTable;
private _discoveryInProgress: boolean = false;
constructor(node: NetworkNode, routingTable: RoutingTable) {
this._node = node;
this._routingTable = routingTable;
}
async discoverRoutes(): Promise<void> {
if (this._discoveryInProgress) return;
this._discoveryInProgress = true;
try {
// Send discovery messages to immediate connections
await this._sendDiscoveryRequests();
// Wait for responses
await this._collectResponses();
// Update routing table
this._updateRoutingTable();
} finally {
this._discoveryInProgress = false;
}
}
private async _sendDiscoveryRequests(): Promise<void> {
// Implementation
}
private async _collectResponses(): Promise<void> {
// Implementation
}
private _updateRoutingTable(): void {
// Implementation
}
}
```
### 7. Advanced Router with Plugin Support
Finally, we'll create an advanced router that supports plugins:
```typescript
// src/router/advanced-message-router.ts
export interface RouterPlugin {
id: string;
onMessageRouting(message: NetworkMessage, nextHop: string | null): Promise<string | null>;
onRoutingError(error: Error, message: NetworkMessage): Promise<boolean>;
onRouteDiscovery(routes: Map<string, RouteInfo>): Promise<void>;
}
export class AdvancedMessageRouter extends BaseMessageRouter {
private _plugins: RouterPlugin[] = [];
private _discoveryManager: RouteDiscoveryManager;
constructor(node: NetworkNode, config?: Partial<RoutingConfig>) {
super(node, config);
const routingTable = new BasicRoutingTable();
this._routingTables.push(routingTable);
this._discoveryManager = new RouteDiscoveryManager(node, routingTable);
// Set up periodic route updates
if (this._config.routeUpdateInterval > 0) {
setInterval(() => this.updateRoutes(), this._config.routeUpdateInterval);
}
}
async routeMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void> {
// If batching is enabled, queue the message
if (this._batchingEnabled) {
this._messageQueue.enqueue(message);
return;
}
// Otherwise, route immediately
await this._routeSingleMessage(message);
}
async updateRoutes(): Promise<void> {
await this._discoveryManager.discoverRoutes();
}
registerPlugin(plugin: RouterPlugin): void {
this._plugins.push(plugin);
}
unregisterPlugin(pluginId: string): boolean {
const index = this._plugins.findIndex(p => p.id === pluginId);
if (index >= 0) {
this._plugins.splice(index, 1);
return true;
}
return false;
}
private async _routeSingleMessage(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<void> {
// Find the route
let nextHop = this._findNextHop(message);
// Allow plugins to modify the route
for (const plugin of this._plugins) {
nextHop = await plugin.onMessageRouting(message, nextHop) || nextHop;
}
// If we have a next hop, send the message
if (nextHop && this._node.transport) {
try {
await this._node.transport.sendTo(nextHop, message);
} catch (error) {
// Let plugins handle the error
let handled = false;
for (const plugin of this._plugins) {
handled = await plugin.onRoutingError(error as Error, message) || handled;
}
// If not handled by plugins, rethrow
if (!handled) {
throw error;
}
}
} else {
throw new Error('No route found for message');
}
}
private _findNextHop(message: NetworkMessage): string | null {
if (!message.targetId) {
return null;
}
// Direct delivery if we're connected to the target
if (this._node.transport && this._node.transport.state === TransportState.CONNECTED) {
// Check if target is a direct connection
return message.targetId;
}
// Otherwise, look up in routing table
const route = this.findRoute(message.targetId);
if (route) {
return route.nextHopId;
}
return null;
}
}
```

# Phase 4: Metrics and Host Selection
## Overview
Phase 4 implements advanced network quality metrics and the trust-based host selection system. This phase is critical for ensuring optimal network performance by selecting the most capable and reliable nodes to serve as hosts. The system adapts from the old implementation but is integrated into the new architecture.
## Key Components

- Trust score (historical hosting performance)
- Validate that the selected host has significant consensus
- Track historical hosting performance to improve future selections
- Manage host transitions when the current host becomes unsuitable
### 3. Voting System Integration
The voting system provides a democratic mechanism for making decisions within the network.
#### VotingManager
**Key Features**:
- Vote initiation and collection
- Configurable voting periods
- Participation thresholds
- Result determination with configurable consensus requirements
**Implementation Requirements**:

+topic: string
+options: string[]
+deadline: number
+votes: Map~string, string~
+addVote(voterId, choice)

+hasConsensus()
+getResult()
}
PingManager -- PingStats : produces
HostSelector -- PingManager : uses
HostSelector -- HostCandidate : evaluates
VotingManager -- VoteSession : manages
HostSelector -- VotingManager : may use for selection
```
## Integration Points
### Integration with NetworkNode
The metrics and host selection components integrate with the NetworkNode class:
1. **Network Quality Metrics**: Provide performance data for node promotion/demotion decisions
2. **Host Selection**: Guide reorganization when parent nodes disconnect or become unsuitable
3. **Voting**: Enable democratic decision-making within the hierarchy
### Integration with Message Routing
The host selection system affects message routing decisions:
1. **Route Optimization**: Favor routes through high-quality connections
2. **Failover Routes**: Prepare alternative routes when connection quality degrades
3. **Prioritization**: Consider host capabilities when determining message priorities
## Implementation Guidelines
### Performance Considerations
1. **Efficient Metrics Collection**: Minimize overhead of ping-based measurements
2. **Caching**: Cache metrics calculations that don't need to be recalculated frequently
3. **Asynchronous Processing**: Ensure host selection calculations don't block the main processing
4. **Batched Updates**: Group metrics updates to reduce processing overhead
### Edge Cases to Handle
1. **Host Disconnection**: Handle unexpected disconnection of the selected host
2. **Metrics Outliers**: Discard or normalize outlier measurements that could skew decisions
3. **Concurrent Selection**: Handle multiple simultaneous host selection attempts
4. **Selection Ties**: Provide tiebreaking mechanisms for equal-scoring candidates
5. **Cold Start**: Handle host selection when limited history is available
## Testing Strategy
### Metrics Testing
1. **Accuracy Tests**:
- Verify latency measurements against known values
- Test jitter calculation with synthetic patterns
- Confirm packet loss detection works correctly
2. **Edge Case Tests**:
- Test behavior with extremely high latency
- Verify measurements with 100% packet loss
- Test behavior with rapidly changing network conditions
### Host Selection Testing
1. **Selection Tests**:
- Verify selection of hosts based on synthetic metrics
- Test weighted scoring with various weight configurations
- Confirm consensus validation works as expected
2. **Historical Testing**:
- Verify trust scores affect future selections
- Test behavior after unsuccessful hosting sessions
- Confirm long-term improvement in selection quality
### Voting System Testing
1. **Basic Functionality Tests**:
- Test vote initiation and collection
- Verify tallying produces expected results
- Confirm deadline enforcement works correctly
2. **Edge Case Tests**:
- Test behavior with minimal participation
- Verify handling of late votes
- Test concurrent voting sessions
## Success Criteria
This phase is complete when:
1. The PingManager accurately measures connection quality metrics
2. The HostSelector correctly evaluates and ranks candidates
3. Historical hosting performance affects future selections
4. The VotingManager successfully coordinates voting sessions
5. All components handle edge cases and failures gracefully
6. Tests demonstrate accurate and fair host selection under various conditions
7. All tests pass with 100% code coverage
The metrics and host selection system built in this phase provide the foundation for a self-organizing, adaptive network that optimizes for performance and reliability.

- **Enhanced Ping Mechanism**: Improved ping with jitter and packet loss detection
- **Connection Quality Scoring**: Assigns quality scores to connections based on latency, jitter, and packet loss
- **Route Quality Analysis**: Evaluates multi-hop routes in the network
- **Network Topology Awareness**: Maps the network topology based on quality scores
### 3. Voting Framework
A decentralized framework for making consensus-based decisions:
- **Vote Initiation**: Any node can propose a vote on supported topics
- **Vote Distribution**: Votes are efficiently distributed across the network
- **Vote Collection and Tallying**: Secure collection and counting of votes
- **Result Application**: Automatic application of voting outcomes
- **Voting History**: Tracking of past votes and outcomes
### 4. Host Selection System

# Phase 5: Tier Management
## Overview
Phase 5 focuses on implementing the tier management system, responsible for organizing and maintaining the hierarchical structure of the network. The TierManager handles complex reorganization scenarios, responds to topology changes, and ensures the network structure remains optimal as nodes join, leave, or change roles. This phase builds upon the previous components to create a self-healing, adaptive network hierarchy.
## Key Components
### 1. TierManager Implementation (`src/tier/manager.ts`)
The `TierManager` class orchestrates the overall hierarchy structure. It should:
- Manage tier creation, deletion, and modification
- Handle network reorganization during topology changes
- Implement strategies for various edge cases (empty tiers, partitions, etc.)
- Ensure the network structure remains balanced and efficient
#### Core Features
- **Tier Structure Management**: Create, modify, and remove tiers
- **Reorganization Logic**: Handle various scenarios requiring hierarchy changes
- **Balance Maintenance**: Ensure the hierarchy remains properly balanced
- **Edge Case Handling**: Address special situations like empty tiers
- **Hierarchy Optimization**: Optimize the network structure for efficiency
#### Implementation Requirements

- Network partition recovery
- Cascading failures prevention
- Client surge/exodus adaptation
- Node rejoining placement
### 2. Reorganization Logic (`src/tier/reorganization.ts`)
This component handles the complex logic of reorganizing the network structure. It should:
- Implement algorithms for different reorganization scenarios
- Ensure consistent hierarchy during changes
- Minimize disruption during reorganization
- Support transaction-like operations with rollback capability
#### Core Features
- **Empty Tier Handling**: Remove empty tiers and reconnect adjacent levels
- **Tier Insertion**: Add new tiers between existing levels
- **Node Redistribution**: Reassign children when parents are demoted/removed
- **Partition Recovery**: Merge separated network partitions
- **Balancing Algorithms**: Rebalance the hierarchy for optimal performance
#### Implementation Requirements
- Support phased reorganization to minimize disruption
- Implement rollback mechanisms for failed reorganizations
- Provide progress tracking for long-running operations
- Ensure hierarchy integrity during all operations
#### Edge Cases
- Interrupted reorganizations
- Concurrent reorganization attempts
- Partial failures during reorganization
- Conflicting hierarchy views after partition recovery
### 3. Node Promotion/Demotion (`src/tier/level-change.ts`)
This component manages the promotion and demotion of nodes between tiers. It should:
- Implement criteria for node level changes
- Handle the logistics of moving nodes between levels
- Manage child redistribution during level changes
- Track performance metrics to guide promotion/demotion decisions
#### Core Features
- **Promotion Criteria**: Determine when nodes should move up the hierarchy
- **Demotion Criteria**: Determine when nodes should move down the hierarchy
- **Child Redistribution**: Reassign children when node levels change
- **Level Change Execution**: Handle the logistics of changing a node's level
#### Implementation Requirements

- Implement performance scoring for level change decisions
- Provide event notifications for level changes
- Ensure smooth transitions during level changes
#### Edge Cases
- Multiple concurrent level changes
- Failed level changes
- Orphaned children during level changes
- Promotion/demotion thrashing prevention
## Critical Scenario: Server Failover and Reintegration
A key capability that must be implemented in this phase is handling server disconnection and reintegration as detailed in [SERVER_FAILOVER.md](./SERVER_FAILOVER.md). This scenario requires specific tier management capabilities:
### Server Disconnection Handling
When the server (top-level host) disconnects:
1. **Detection**: The TierManager must quickly detect the empty top tier
2. **Emergency Reorganization**: Trigger immediate reorganization to establish client-side hosting
3. **Hierarchical Continuity**: Maintain as much of the existing hierarchy as possible while adapting to server absence
4. **Minimal Disruption**: Limit changes to only what's necessary for continued operation
### Client-Based Hierarchy
The TierManager must support a fully client-side hierarchy:
1. **Adaptive Tier Structure**: Adjust tier depth based on network size and client capabilities
2. **Role Flexibility**: Support client nodes functioning as hosts at any tier level
3. **Resource Awareness**: Consider device capabilities when assigning hosting responsibilities
4. **Tier Balance**: Distribute clients optimally across hosts to balance load
### Server Reintegration
When the server reconnects:
1. **Recognition**: Detect returning server node
2. **Role Restoration**: Reestablish server as top-tier host
3. **Hierarchy Adjustment**: Adapt client-side hierarchy to reincorporate the server
4. **Smooth Transition**: Minimize disruption during this reintegration process
Implementation of this scenario must be thoroughly tested to ensure the network can seamlessly transition between server-hosted and client-hosted modes.
## Tier Structure Management
The tier system organizes nodes into a hierarchical structure:
### 1. Tier Configuration
Each tier (level) has specific configuration parameters:
```typescript
interface LevelConfig {
level: number; // Numerical level (0, 1, 2, etc.)
name: string; // Human-readable name ("Client", "Host", etc.)
maxChildren: number; // Maximum children per node
maxSiblings: number; // Maximum siblings at this level
minPromotionScore: number; // Threshold for promotion to next level
demotionThreshold: number; // Threshold below which demotion occurs
// Other tier-specific settings
}
```
### 2. Tier Relationships
The hierarchical structure follows these rules:
- Level 0 (Client): No children, connects to Level 1
- Level 1 (Host): Manages clients, connects to Level 2
- Level 2 (Tier Host): Manages hosts, connects to Level 3
- And so on, up to the highest level
### 3. Dynamic Tier Adjustments
The structure can change dynamically:
- Tiers can be added when the network grows
- Tiers can be removed when no longer needed
- Tier properties can be adjusted based on network conditions
## Network Reorganization Scenarios
The TierManager must handle various reorganization scenarios:
### 1. Empty Tier Handling
When all nodes from a tier disappear:
1. **Detection**: Monitor node counts per tier
2. **Evaluation**: Determine if tier should be removed
3. **Reconnection**: Connect adjacent tiers to maintain hierarchy
4. **Level Renumbering**: Update level numbers for all affected nodes
5. **Configuration Adjustment**: Update level configurations
#### Example:
```yaml
Before: L0 → L1 → L2 → L3 → L4
If L2 becomes empty:
After: L0 → L1 → L2* → L3*
(where L2* was L3 and L3* was L4)
```
### 2. Network Partition Recovery
When the network splits and then reconnects:
1. **Partition Detection**: Identify disconnected segments
2. **Partition Evaluation**: Determine primary partition
3. **Structure Reconciliation**: Merge hierarchy structures
4. **Conflict Resolution**: Resolve conflicting roles
5. **State Synchronization**: Reconcile state differences
#### Conflict Resolution Strategy:
- Size-based: Larger partition's structure prevails
- Performance-based: Better-performing structure prevails
- Age-based: Older structure prevails
- Hybrid: Combine aspects of multiple strategies
### 3. Client Surge Handling
When many clients join simultaneously:
1. **Detection**: Monitor client-to-host ratios
2. **Capacity Evaluation**: Determine if more hosts are needed
3. **Candidate Selection**: Identify clients suitable for promotion
4. **Promotion Execution**: Promote selected clients to hosts
5. **Distribution**: Assign clients to new hosts
#### Promotion Criteria:
- Performance metrics exceed thresholds
- Stable connection history
- Appropriate device capabilities
- Geographic distribution considerations
### 4. Client Exodus Handling
When many clients leave simultaneously:
1. **Detection**: Monitor host utilization
2. **Capacity Evaluation**: Determine excess host capacity
3. **Candidate Selection**: Identify hosts for demotion
4. **Child Redistribution**: Reassign remaining clients
5. **Demotion Execution**: Demote selected hosts to clients
#### Demotion Selection Criteria:
- Lower performance metrics
- Fewer assigned clients
- Higher resource constraints
- Geographic redundancy
### 5. Cascading Failure Prevention
When multiple nodes fail in sequence:
1. **Detection**: Monitor failure patterns
2. **Impact Assessment**: Evaluate hierarchy stability
3. **Circuit Breaking**: Pause reorganizations if necessary
4. **Controlled Recovery**: Implement phased recovery plan
5. **Stabilization**: Rebalance once failures subside
#### Circuit Breaking Strategy:
- Time-based: Suspend reorganizations for a period
- Count-based: Limit number of reorganizations in a time window
- Impact-based: Evaluate disruption before proceeding
- Hierarchical: Prioritize higher-level stability
## Implementation Details
### Reorganization Transaction Model
Reorganizations should follow a transaction-like model:
1. **Preparation**: Gather necessary information
2. **Validation**: Verify the operation is safe
3. **Execution**: Make the changes in a specific order
4. **Verification**: Validate the new structure
5. **Commitment**: Finalize the changes
6. **Rollback**: Revert to previous state if needed
### Tier Balancing Algorithm
The balancing algorithm should consider:
1. **Distribution Metrics**:
- Nodes per tier
- Children per parent
- Geographic distribution
- Performance distribution
2. **Balance Operations**:
- Node promotion/demotion
- Child redistribution
- Sibling relationship adjustments
- Tier creation/removal
3. **Optimization Goals**:
- Minimize path lengths
- Distribute load evenly
- Improve geographic locality
- Maximize overall performance
### Node Level Change Process
The level change process should:
1. **Before Promotion**:
- Verify node meets promotion criteria
- Ensure target level has capacity
- Prepare node for new responsibilities
2. **During Promotion**:
- Update node's level
- Apply new level configuration
- Establish appropriate relationships
- Initialize level-specific components
3. **Before Demotion**:
- Identify new homes for children
- Prepare for role reduction
- Notify affected nodes
4. **During Demotion**:
- Redistribute children
- Update node's level
- Apply new level configuration
- Adjust relationship with former peers
## Testing Strategy
### TierManager Tests
1. **Configuration Tests**:
- Test with various tier configurations
- Test configuration validation
- Test dynamic configuration changes
2. **Tier Structure Tests**:
- Test tier creation and removal
- Test level renumbering
- Test hierarchy validation
3. **Integration Tests**:

- Test conflict resolution
- Test with various partition scenarios
3. **Edge Case Tests**:

- Test child redistribution
- Test demotion execution
- Test forced demotions
3. **Performance Tests**:

- Test with large numbers of level changes
- Test impact on network performance
### Server Failover Tests

- Test emergency reorganization
- Test client-side hierarchy formation
- Test message routing without server
2. **Reintegration Tests**:
- Test server reconnection detection
- Test server role restoration
- Test hierarchy adjustment
- Test state reconciliation
3. **Stability Tests**:
- Test with repeated server disconnection/reconnection
- Test long-duration server absence
- Test with state changes during server absence
- Test with concurrent client changes during reintegration
## Edge Cases and Considerations
### 1. Reorganization Collisions
Consider what happens when multiple reorganizations occur simultaneously:
- Implement locking or sequencing mechanisms
- Prioritize reorganizations based on impact
- Merge compatible reorganizations
- Detect and resolve conflicts
### 2. Hierarchical Instability
Prevent thrashing or oscillation in the hierarchy:
- Implement hysteresis in promotion/demotion thresholds
- Add cooldown periods after level changes
- Track historical stability to inform decisions
- Use dampening factors for rapid changes
### 3. Deep Hierarchies
Handle very deep hierarchical structures:
- Optimize path calculations for deep hierarchies

- Implement level skipping for efficiency
- Monitor and limit maximum depth
### 4. Sparse Hierarchies
Handle hierarchies with nearly-empty tiers:
- Implement minimum utilization thresholds
- Consider tier merging for underutilized levels
- Balance between hierarchy depth and breadth
- Adapt tier configurations to utilization
### 5. Incomplete Information
Deal with decisions based on partial information:
- Implement conservative defaults for unknown values
- Use probabilistic models when information is limited
- Weight decisions based on information confidence
- Adapt as more information becomes available
## Integration Points
The tier management system integrates with:
1. **NetworkSystem**: For overall network structure
2. **NetworkNode**: For node level changes
3. **VotingManager**: For host selection during reorganization
4. **MessageRouter**: For adapting routing to hierarchy changes
5. **StateManager**: For state synchronization during reorganization
## Performance Considerations
Optimize the tier management system for:
1. **Reorganization Efficiency**: Minimize disruption during changes
2. **Decision Speed**: Make timely decisions with available information
3. **Memory Usage**: Limit state tracking to necessary information
4. **Scalability**: Support networks from small to very large
## Success Criteria
This phase is complete when:
1. The TierManager correctly manages the network hierarchy
2. Empty tiers are properly detected and handled
3. Network partitions can be recovered from
4. Client surges and exoduses are handled gracefully
5. Cascading failures are prevented
6. Node promotion and demotion work correctly
7. The network structure remains optimized
8. Server disconnection and reintegration work seamlessly
9. All tests pass with 100% code coverage
The tier management system is essential for maintaining an efficient, self-healing network structure. A well-implemented tier manager ensures the network can adapt to changing conditions, recover from failures, and maintain optimal performance even as the network evolves.

# Phase 6: Plugin System
## Overview
Phase 6 focuses on implementing the plugin architecture and core plugins for the network library. The plugin system enables extensibility, allowing customization of node behavior without modifying the core codebase. This phase will deliver the plugin infrastructure along with several critical plugins: NetworkCondition, Security, and Logging plugins.
## Important Note on Transport Plugins
This library implements the core abstraction layer and only includes the MemoryTransport for testing and simulation. External transport plugins like WebRTC and WebSockets **will be implemented as separate libraries** that use this abstraction layer. This phase should design the plugin system with this future extensibility in mind, but will not implement those external transport plugins.
## Key Components
### 1. Plugin System Infrastructure (`src/plugins/types.ts`)
The plugin system provides the foundation for extending node functionality. It should:

- Modify message delivery to simulate various network conditions
- Support configurable latency, packet loss, bandwidth, and jitter
- Provide controls to enable/disable simulation features
- Track and report on simulated conditions
#### Core Features
- **Latency Simulation**: Add configurable delays to messages

#### Edge Cases
- Handle high-volume logging
- Manage log persistence during crashes

## Plugin Architecture Design
### Plugin Interface
All plugins must implement this base interface:
```typescript
interface IPlugin {
// Unique identifier for the plugin
readonly id: string;
// Called when the plugin is registered with an entity
onRegister(entity: any): void;
// Called when the plugin is unregistered
onUnregister(entity: any): void;
// Optional methods
initialize?(): Promise<void>;
shutdown?(): Promise<void>;
configure?(config: any): void;
}
```
### Plugin Registry
The node should maintain a plugin registry:
```typescript
class PluginRegistry {
private _plugins: Map<string, IPlugin>;
private _entity: any; // The entity (node) this registry belongs to
constructor(entity: any) {
this._plugins = new Map();
this._entity = entity;
}
register(plugin: IPlugin): boolean {
// Check if plugin with this ID already exists
// Register the plugin
// Call onRegister
// Return success/failure
}
unregister(pluginId: string): boolean {
// Find the plugin
// Call onUnregister
// Remove from registry
// Return success/failure
}
getPlugin<T extends IPlugin>(pluginId: string): T | undefined {
// Return the plugin if it exists, undefined otherwise
}
hasPlugin(pluginId: string): boolean {
// Check if plugin exists
}
getAllPlugins(): IPlugin[] {
// Return all registered plugins
}
}
```
### Plugin Lifecycle
Plugins follow this lifecycle:
1. **Creation**: Plugin instance is created
2. **Configuration**: Plugin is configured with options
3. **Registration**: Plugin is registered with a node
4. **Initialization**: Plugin initializes its resources
5. **Operation**: Plugin operates as part of the node
6. **Shutdown**: Plugin cleans up when disabled
7. **Unregistration**: Plugin is removed from the node
## Network Condition Plugin Details
### Condition Configuration
The NetworkCondition plugin should support these configuration options:
```typescript
interface NetworkConditionOptions {
// Delay range in milliseconds
minLatency?: number;
maxLatency?: number;
// Percentage of packets to drop (0-1)
packetLoss?: number;
// Bandwidth limit in KB/s
bandwidth?: number;
// Latency variation in milliseconds
jitter?: number;
// Whether simulation is active
enabled?: boolean;
}
```
### Condition Profiles
Predefined condition profiles should include:
1. **Perfect**: No degradation (for baseline testing)
2. **Good**: Minimal latency and packet loss
3. **Average**: Moderate latency and occasional packet loss
4. **Poor**: High latency and significant packet loss
5. **Mobile**: Variable latency with periods of high packet loss
6. **Satellite**: Very high latency but consistent
7. **Unstable**: Highly variable conditions
### Implementation Strategy
The plugin should intercept messages before they're sent:
1. Apply latency simulation using setTimeout
2. Apply packet loss by randomly dropping messages
3. Apply bandwidth limits by throttling message rate
4. Apply jitter by varying delays
5. Track and report on applied conditions
## Security Plugin Details
### Security Features
The Security plugin should implement:
1. **Authentication**: Verify the identity of nodes
2. **Authorization**: Control what operations nodes can perform
3. **Encryption**: Protect message content
4. **Integrity**: Ensure messages aren't tampered with
5. **Non-repudiation**: Prevent denying message sending
### Security Configuration
Configuration options should include:
```typescript
interface SecurityPluginOptions {
// Encryption settings
encryptionAlgorithm?: string;
encryptionKey?: string;
// Signing settings
signingAlgorithm?: string;
signingKey?: string;
// Authentication settings
authenticationMethod?: string;
credentials?: any;
// Policy settings
securityPolicies?: SecurityPolicy[];
}
interface SecurityPolicy {
// What this policy applies to
messageTypes: string[] | RegExp;
// What security features to apply
requireEncryption?: boolean;
requireSigning?: boolean;
requireAuthentication?: boolean;
// Who can send/receive
allowedSenders?: string[];
allowedRecipients?: string[];
}
```
### Implementation Strategy
The security plugin should:
1. Intercept outgoing messages to apply security features
2. Intercept incoming messages to verify and decode
3. Maintain cryptographic materials securely
4. Enforce policies based on message types and participants
5. Report security violations
## Logging Plugin Details
### Log Levels

# Phase 6: Comprehensive Plugin System Implementation
This document outlines the implementation plan for Phase 6 of the network library, which focuses on building a robust plugin system that enables extensibility and modularity throughout the network stack.
## Overview
Phase 6 builds upon the resource-aware tier management and partition handling capabilities of Phase 5 to create a comprehensive plugin architecture. This will allow for seamless extension of the network library's functionality without modifying the core code, enabling users to add new capabilities, modify existing ones, and integrate with other systems.
## Key Features
1. **Core Plugin System**
- Plugin registration and lifecycle management
- Plugin dependency resolution and version compatibility
- Security verification for plugins
- Resource management for plugins
2. **First-Party Plugins**
- Network condition simulation
- Enhanced security features
- Logging with internationalization
- Resource management
- Performance monitoring
3. **Plugin Development Kit (PDK)**
- Documentation and guides for plugin developers
- Testing utilities for plugin validation
- Debugging tools
- Performance analysis utilities
4. **Integration Framework**
- Integration points with existing components
- Backward compatibility with previous phases
- Event system for plugins
## Architecture
Phase 6 implements a modular plugin architecture with the following key components:
### PluginManager
The core component responsible for plugin registration, dependency resolution, and lifecycle management. It provides the primary API for interacting with the plugin system.
### PluginRegistry
Maintains the registry of installed plugins, handles version compatibility, and provides methods for querying available plugins.
### PluginLoader
Responsible for loading plugins, resolving dependencies, and initializing them in the correct order.
### PluginContext
Provides a context for plugins to interact with the system and other plugins safely, with appropriate access controls.
### SecurityVerifier
Validates plugins for security compliance before installation to prevent malicious or vulnerable code.
### ResourceMonitor
Tracks resource usage by plugins to prevent excessive resource consumption and ensure fair allocation.
## Integration Strategy
Phase 6 is designed to work seamlessly with the existing codebase. We'll introduce extension points in the existing components to allow plugin interaction without requiring those components to be modified directly.
```typescript
// Example usage
const networkSystem = createNetworkSystem();
const pluginManager = new PluginManager(networkSystem);
// Register plugins
pluginManager.register(new NetworkConditionPlugin());
pluginManager.register(new SecurityPlugin());
// Use plugin functionality through the network system
networkSystem.simulateNetworkCondition('highLatency');
```
## Testing Approach
Testing will focus on:
1. **Unit Tests** for individual plugin components
2. **Integration Tests** for plugin interactions with core components
3. **Security Tests** to validate the plugin security verification system
4. **Resource Management Tests** to ensure plugins don't consume excessive resources
5. **Compatibility Tests** to verify backward compatibility
We'll use the memory transport for network simulation and the timer controller for time-dependent tests rather than using mocks or Jest timers, as specified.
## Implementation Phases
The implementation will proceed in the following stages:
1. **Plugin System Core**
- Define plugin interfaces and types
- Implement plugin manager and registry
- Create lifecycle hooks
- Build dependency resolution system

4. **Plugin Development Kit**
- Create documentation
- Build testing utilities
- Implement debugging tools
- Create performance analysis utilities
5. **Integration**
- Integrate with Phase 5 components
- Create backward compatibility layers
- Implement migration utilities
- Build plugin discovery mechanisms
6. **Finalization**
- Comprehensive testing
- Documentation completion
- Performance optimization
- Example applications
## Potential Challenges
1. **Security Concerns**
- Plugins could introduce security vulnerabilities
- Solution: Implement robust security verification and sandboxing
2. **Resource Management**
- Plugins might consume excessive resources
- Solution: Implement resource monitoring and limitations
3. **Version Compatibility**
- Ensuring plugins work across different versions of the library
- Solution: Semantic versioning and compatibility checking
4. **Performance Overhead**
- The plugin system could introduce performance overhead
- Solution: Efficient design and optimization of critical paths
5. **Testing Complexity**
- Testing plugin interactions can be complex
- Solution: Comprehensive integration tests and simulation framework
## Timeline
The implementation is estimated to take approximately 4-5 weeks, with the following breakdown:

- Extension Points: 5-7 days
- First-Party Plugins: 7-10 days
- Plugin Development Kit: 3-5 days
- Integration: 5-7 days
- Finalization: 3-5 days
## Conclusion
Phase 6 represents a significant evolution in the network library's architecture, transforming it from a monolithic system to a modular, extensible platform. The plugin system will enable users to customize the library to their specific needs, while maintaining the core's stability and performance. This approach ensures that the library can continue to evolve and adapt to new requirements without becoming overly complex or difficult to maintain.

```
### Enhancing Tier Management with Plugins
```typescript
import { PluginManager } from '@suaveplan/network/plugins';
import { EnhancedTierManager } from '@suaveplan/network/tier';
import { enhanceTierManagerWithPlugins } from '@suaveplan/network/plugins';
// Create components
const pluginManager = new PluginManager();
const tierManager = new EnhancedTierManager();
// Connect tier manager with plugin system
const tierManagerIntegration = enhanceTierManagerWithPlugins(tierManager, pluginManager);
// Initialize
await pluginManager.initialize();
await tierManagerIntegration.initialize();
```
### Creating Custom Plugins
```typescript
import { IPlugin, PluginContext } from '@suaveplan/network/plugins';
class MyCustomPlugin implements IPlugin {
readonly id = 'my-custom-plugin';
onRegister(context: PluginContext): void {
console.log('Plugin registered');
// Store context for later use
}
onUnregister(): void {
console.log('Plugin unregistered');
}
// Optional lifecycle methods
async initialize(): Promise<void> {
console.log('Plugin initialized');
}
async shutdown(): Promise<void> {
console.log('Plugin shut down');
}
// Optional method to provide extensions to extension points
getExtensions(): Record<string, unknown> {
return {
'network:tier-strategy': {
id: 'my-tier-strategy',
name: 'My Tier Strategy',
isApplicable: () => true,
optimize: (structure) => structure
}
};
}
}
```
### Creating Extension Points
```typescript
import { PluginManager } from '@suaveplan/network/plugins';
// Create plugin manager
const pluginManager = new PluginManager();
// Create an extension point
const myExtensionPoint = pluginManager.registerExtensionPoint('my:extension-point', {
type: 'object',
properties: {
id: { type: 'string' },
process: { type: 'function' }
},
required: ['id', 'process']
});
// Get extensions provided by plugins
const extensions = myExtensionPoint.getExtensions();
// Use extensions
extensions.forEach(extension => {
extension.process();
});
```
## Demo Application
A demonstration application is included to showcase the plugin system. You can run it using:
```text
ts-node libs/network/src/examples/plugin-system-demo.ts
```
The demo shows:
1. How to register plugins with the plugin manager
2. How to use the network condition plugin to simulate different network conditions
3. How to create and use custom tier strategies through extension points
4. How the plugin system integrates with existing tier management components
## Testing
Tests are implemented using Jest for all components:
- **Unit Tests**: Test individual components in isolation
- **Integration Tests**: Test how components work together
- **Timer Control**: Uses TimerController instead of Jest timers for deterministic timing
Key test files:
- `plugins/plugin-manager.spec.ts`: Tests for the plugin manager
- `plugins/network-condition/network-condition-plugin.spec.ts`: Tests for the network condition plugin
- `integration/phase6-integration.spec.ts`: Tests for integration with Phase 5 components
## Next Steps
The current implementation provides a solid foundation for the plugin system. Future work includes:
1. **Additional First-Party Plugins**:
- SecurityPlugin: Enhancing network security with encryption and authentication
- LoggingPlugin: Providing enhanced logging capabilities with internationalization
- ResourceManagementPlugin: Optimizing resource usage across the network
- PerformanceMonitoringPlugin: Monitoring and analyzing network performance
2. **Enhanced Security Mechanisms**:
- Capability-based security model
- Code signing verification
- Sandboxed plugin execution
3. **Plugin Marketplace**:
- Registry for discovering and sharing plugins
- Version compatibility checking
- Automated updates
## Current Limitations
1. Some integration with tier management components uses `any` types due to compatibility issues with the existing API. Future versions should refine these types for better type safety.
2. The current implementation focuses on core functionality. Production-ready security measures should be enhanced.
3. Resource monitoring is currently simulated and would need real metrics in a production environment.
## Conclusion
Phase 6 successfully implements a modular plugin system that transforms the network library into an extensible platform. The plugin architecture follows best practices for extensibility, security, and performance, while maintaining backward compatibility with previous phases of the library.

- Latest wins (based on timestamp)
- Remote wins (always choose remote state)
- Local wins (always choose local state)
- Deep merge (combine non-conflicting properties)
- Custom (application-provided reconciliation)
- Allow path-specific strategy configuration
- Detect and report conflicts at a granular level
- Provide deterministic outcomes for the same inputs

## Integration Points
### Integration with NetworkNode
The state management system integrates with the NetworkNode class:
1. **Local State Storage**: Nodes maintain their portion of the application state
2. **State Change Propagation**: Changes are propagated through the hierarchy
3. **Conflict Resolution**: Conflicts are resolved when divergent states are encountered
4. **State Transfer**: New nodes receive the current state when joining
### Integration with Message System
The state updates are transmitted via the message system:
1. **Delta Messages**: Bandwidth-efficient state change messages
2. **Full State Messages**: Complete state synchronization messages
3. **State Request Messages**: Messages requesting state from other nodes
4. **Priority Handling**: State messages may have different priorities based on content
## Implementation Guidelines
### Performance Considerations
1. **Delta Efficiency**: Optimize delta calculation to minimize size
2. **Compression Overhead**: Balance compression ratio with CPU usage
3. **Reconciliation Performance**: Optimize conflict detection for large states
4. **History Management**: Efficiently manage state history to avoid memory issues
### Edge Cases to Handle

2. **Network Partitions**: Reconcile divergent states after network partitions
3. **Partial Updates**: Handle incomplete or interrupted state transfers
4. **Schema Evolution**: Support changes to the state schema over time
5. **Invalid States**: Detect and reject invalid state updates
## Testing Strategy
### StateManager Tests
1. **Basic Functionality Tests**:
- Verify state updates are stored correctly
- Test subscription notifications
- Confirm validation works correctly
2. **Synchronization Tests**:
- Test delta updates between nodes
- Verify full state transfers
- Test state request/response flow
3. **Conflict Resolution Tests**:

- Test compression/decompression roundtrip accuracy
- Verify delta compression efficiency
2. **Edge Case Tests**:
- Test very large state objects
- Verify handling of special values (null, undefined, etc.)
- Test compression of deeply nested structures
### StateReconciler Tests
1. **Strategy Tests**:
- Test each reconciliation strategy
- Verify path-specific strategy application
- Test custom strategy integration
2. **Conflict Detection Tests**:
- Verify detection of simple property conflicts
- Test nested object conflict detection
- Confirm array/collection conflict detection
## Success Criteria
This phase is complete when:
1. The StateManager can efficiently store and synchronize state across nodes
2. The BitPackerCompressor provides significant bandwidth savings

# Phase 9: Middleware and Serialization
## Overview
Phase 9 focuses on implementing the middleware system and serialization strategies. The middleware system provides a way to intercept and modify messages as they flow through the network, enabling features like logging, validation, and transformation. The serialization strategies handle converting messages between in-memory objects and transmissible formats, supporting different encodings for various use cases.
## Key Components
### 1. MiddlewareManager Implementation (`src/middleware/middleware-manager.ts`)
The `MiddlewareManager` class orchestrates the middleware chain. It should:
- Register and manage middleware components
- Execute middleware in the correct order
- Handle middleware failures gracefully
- Support middleware priority and ordering
- Enable dynamic middleware configuration
#### Core Features
- **Middleware Registration**: Add middleware to the processing chain
- **Priority-Based Ordering**: Execute middleware in priority order
- **Direction Handling**: Process both incoming and outgoing messages
- **Error Management**: Handle middleware exceptions
- **Chain Execution**: Pass messages through the complete middleware chain
#### Implementation Requirements
- Support middleware addition and removal at runtime
- Implement middleware prioritization
- Handle conditional middleware execution
- Provide hooks for middleware monitoring
- Support middleware chain bypassing for special messages
#### Edge Cases
- Handle middleware throwing exceptions
- Manage circular dependencies between middleware
- Deal with middleware changing message properties
- Support middleware timeouts
- Handle middleware chain interruption
### 2. Core Middleware Implementations (`src/middleware/core-middleware.ts`)
Implement a set of core middleware components. These should include:
- **Logging Middleware**: Record message details
- **Validation Middleware**: Ensure message correctness
- **Transformation Middleware**: Modify message structure
- **Metrics Middleware**: Collect performance data
- **Throttling Middleware**: Control message flow rates
#### Core Features
- **Configurable Behavior**: Each middleware should be customizable
- **Minimal Overhead**: Efficient processing with low performance impact
- **Selective Processing**: Apply only to relevant messages
- **Stateful/Stateless Options**: Support both approaches as needed
- **Composability**: Ability to combine middleware in useful ways
#### Implementation Requirements
- Implement the IMiddleware interface for all components
- Provide default configurations for common use cases
- Include clear documentation on middleware effects
- Support asynchronous processing where appropriate
- Enable middleware disabling without removal
#### Edge Cases
- Handle middleware state restoration after failures
- Support partial application to message subsets
- Deal with middleware version compatibility
- Manage middleware resource consumption
- Handle middleware deadlocks
### 3. Middleware Interface (`src/middleware/types.ts`)
Define a clear interface for middleware components:
```typescript
interface IMiddleware {
// Unique identifier for the middleware
readonly id: string;
// Priority determines execution order (lower runs first)
readonly priority: number;
// Process an outgoing message before it's sent
processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage | null>;
// Process an incoming message after it's received
processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage | null>;
// Determine if this middleware should process the given message
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean;
}
```
### 4. Serialization Strategies (`src/serialization/`)
Implement various serialization strategies to convert between in-memory objects and transmissible formats:
- **JSON Serializer**: Human-readable, widely compatible
- **Binary Serializer**: Compact, efficient for large data
- **Protocol Buffers**: Schema-based, versioning support
- **MessagePack**: Compact binary format with good performance
#### Core Features
- **Format Conversion**: Transform between objects and serialized data
- **Schema Support**: Enforce data structure where appropriate
- **Versioning**: Handle format evolution gracefully
- **Optimization**: Balance between size, speed, and compatibility
- **Type Safety**: Preserve type information where possible
#### Implementation Requirements
- Implement the ISerializer interface for all strategies
- Support both browser and Node.js environments
- Handle circular references appropriately
- Provide schema validation where applicable
- Include performance optimizations
#### Edge Cases
- Handle unsupported data types
- Manage version mismatches
- Deal with malformed data
- Support partial deserialization
- Handle very large messages
## Middleware System Design
### Middleware Chain Execution
The middleware chain should be executed in this sequence:
1. **Outgoing Messages**:
- Application generates message
- Message enters middleware chain
- Each middleware processes in priority order
- If any middleware returns null, message is dropped
- Final processed message is passed to transport layer
2. **Incoming Messages**:
- Transport layer receives message
- Message enters middleware chain
- Each middleware processes in priority order
- If any middleware returns null, message is dropped
- Final processed message is delivered to application
### Middleware Priority Levels
Middleware should be organized into standard priority levels:
1. **Critical (0-99)**: Essential system middleware
- Security validation
- Message integrity checks
- System health filters
2. **High (100-199)**: Important processing
- Encryption/decryption
- Authentication
- Rate limiting
3. **Normal (200-299)**: Standard processing
- Logging
- Metrics collection
- Transformations
4. **Low (300-399)**: Optional enhancements
- Content enrichment
- Non-critical validations
- Debug information
5. **Background (400+)**: Observability and analysis
- Performance monitoring
- Analytics
- Diagnostic data collection
### Middleware Configuration
Middleware should be configurable for flexibility:
```typescript
interface MiddlewareConfig {
// Whether middleware is enabled
enabled: boolean;
// Custom middleware options
options: Record<string, any>;
// Message filtering criteria
filters?: {
types?: string[] | RegExp;
sources?: string[] | RegExp;
destinations?: string[] | RegExp;
properties?: Record<string, any>;
};
// Error handling policy
errorPolicy?: 'continue' | 'stop' | 'retry';
}
```
## Core Middleware Components
### 1. Logging Middleware
This middleware logs message details for monitoring and debugging:
```typescript
class LoggingMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
readonly id = 'core:logging';
readonly priority = 250;
constructor(private options: {
logLevel?: LogLevel;
includeBodies?: boolean;
bodyMaxSize?: number;
formatter?: (message: NetworkMessage) => string;
}) {}
async processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Log incoming message details
return message;
}
async processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Log outgoing message details
return message;
}
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean {
// Determine if this message should be logged
return true;
}
}
```
### 2. Validation Middleware
This middleware ensures messages conform to expected formats:
```typescript
class ValidationMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
readonly id = 'core:validation';
readonly priority = 50;
constructor(private options: {
schemas: Record<string, any>;
strictMode?: boolean;
errorHandler?: (error: any, message: NetworkMessage) => void;
}) {}
async processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage | null> {
// Validate incoming message structure
return message;
}
async processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage | null> {
// Validate outgoing message structure
return message;
}
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean {
// Check if we have a schema for this message type
return this.options.schemas.hasOwnProperty(message.type);
}
}
```
### 3. Metrics Middleware
This middleware collects performance metrics:
```typescript
class MetricsMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
readonly id = 'core:metrics';
readonly priority = 300;
constructor(private options: {
trackSizes?: boolean;
trackTiming?: boolean;
detailedMetrics?: boolean;
metricsCallback?: (metrics: MessageMetrics) => void;
}) {}
async processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Record incoming message metrics
return message;
}
async processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Record outgoing message metrics
return message;
}
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean {
// Usually process all messages
return true;
}
}
```
### 4. Transformation Middleware
This middleware transforms message structure:
```typescript
class TransformationMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
readonly id = 'core:transformation';
readonly priority = 200;
constructor(private options: {
transformations: Record<string, (message: NetworkMessage) => NetworkMessage>;
}) {}
async processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Apply transformations to incoming message
return message;
}
async processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Apply transformations to outgoing message
return message;
}
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean {
// Check if we have a transformation for this message type
return this.options.transformations.hasOwnProperty(message.type);
}
}
```
### 5. Throttling Middleware
This middleware controls message flow rates:
```typescript
class ThrottlingMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
readonly id = 'core:throttling';
readonly priority = 150;
constructor(private options: {
messagesPerSecond?: number;
byteLimit?: number;
burstSize?: number;
typeSpecificLimits?: Record<string, { messagesPerSecond: number }>;
}) {}
async processOutgoing(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage | null> {
// Apply rate limiting to outgoing messages
return message;
}
async processIncoming(message: NetworkMessage): Promise<NetworkMessage> {
// Just pass through incoming messages
return message;
}
shouldProcess(message: NetworkMessage): boolean {
// Usually only throttle outgoing messages
return true;
}
}
```
## Serialization Strategies
### 1. JSON Serializer
The JSON serializer provides human-readable serialization:
```typescript
class JsonSerializer implements ISerializer {
constructor(private options: {
pretty?: boolean;
replacer?: (key: string, value: any) => any;
reviver?: (key: string, value: any) => any;
circularHandling?: 'error' | 'ignore' | 'serialize';
}) {}
serialize(message: NetworkMessage): string {
// Convert message to JSON string
// Handle circular references
// Apply replacer function
return '...';
}
deserialize(data: string): NetworkMessage {
// Parse JSON string to message object
// Apply reviver function
return {} as NetworkMessage;
}
getContentType(): string {
return 'application/json';
}
}
```
### 2. Binary Serializer
The binary serializer provides efficient binary encoding:
```typescript
class BinarySerializer implements ISerializer {
constructor(private options: {
compression?: boolean;
schema?: any;
serializeBigInt?: boolean;
}) {}
serialize(message: NetworkMessage): Uint8Array {
// Convert message to binary format
// Apply compression if configured
return new Uint8Array();
}
deserialize(data: Uint8Array): NetworkMessage {
// Parse binary data to message object
// Decompress if needed
return {} as NetworkMessage;
}
getContentType(): string {
return 'application/octet-stream';
}
}
```
### 3. MessagePack Serializer
The MessagePack serializer provides compact, efficient serialization:
```typescript
class MessagePackSerializer implements ISerializer {
constructor(private options: {
useExtensions?: boolean;
extensionCodecs?: any;
useBigInt64?: boolean;
}) {}
serialize(message: NetworkMessage): Uint8Array {
// Convert message to MessagePack format
return new Uint8Array();
}
deserialize(data: Uint8Array): NetworkMessage {
// Parse MessagePack data to message object
return {} as NetworkMessage;
}
getContentType(): string {
return 'application/x-msgpack';
}
}
```
## Implementation Details
### MiddlewareManager
The MiddlewareManager should implement:
```typescript
class MiddlewareManager implements IMiddlewareManager {
private _middleware: Map<string, IMiddleware> = new Map();
private _enabledMiddleware: Set<string> = new Set();
private _sortedMiddleware: IMiddleware[] = [];
constructor() {
// Initialize manager
}
addMiddleware(middleware: IMiddleware): void {
// Add middleware to the registry
// Update sorted middleware array
// Enable by default
}
removeMiddleware(id: string): void {
// Remove middleware from registry
// Update sorted middleware array
}
async processMessage(message: NetworkMessage, direction: 'incoming' | 'outgoing'): Promise<NetworkMessage | null> {
// Copy message to prevent mutation issues
// Get appropriate processor method based on direction
// Process through middleware chain
// Return final message or null if dropped
}
getMiddlewares(): IMiddleware[] {
// Return all registered middleware
}
setMiddlewareEnabled(id: string, enabled: boolean): void {
// Enable or disable middleware
// Update sorted middleware array if needed
}
private _sortMiddleware(): void {
// Sort middleware by priority
// Filter to only enabled middleware
}
}
```
### SerializerFactory
A factory pattern can be used to select the appropriate serializer:
```typescript
class SerializerFactory {
private _serializers: Map<string, ISerializer> = new Map();
private _defaultSerializer: ISerializer;
constructor(defaultSerializer?: ISerializer) {
// Initialize with default (JSON if not specified)
}
registerSerializer(contentType: string, serializer: ISerializer): void {
// Register serializer for content type
}
getSerializer(contentType?: string): ISerializer {
// Return serializer for content type or default
}
setDefaultSerializer(contentType: string): void {
// Set default serializer by content type
}
}
```

## [Hosting Configurations](./SERVER_FAILOVER.md)
Our network architecture supports multiple hosting configurations, each with different characteristics and use cases. The detailed specifications for these configurations are available in the [SERVER_FAILOVER.md](./SERVER_FAILOVER.md) document, but here's an overview of the key hosting models to be implemented:
### 1. Pure Client-Side Hosting (No Server)
A fully decentralized model where users host their own sessions without any server involvement:
- A user creates and hosts a session as the top-level node
- Other users connect directly to the host user
- The hierarchy organizes as more users join
- Host responsibilities can transfer to other users through voting
- All state is managed and synchronized between clients
**Implementation Considerations**:
- Host selection based purely on client capabilities
- State persistence without a central authority
- NAT traversal for direct client connections (handled by external transport plugins)
- Resiliency against host disconnection
### 2. Server-Based Hosting
A centralized model with the server as the top-level host:
- Server creates and hosts the session as the top-level node
- All clients connect through the server hierarchy
- Server maintains authoritative state
- Hierarchical organization for scalability
- Server enforces permissions and security
**Implementation Considerations**:
- Server as the stable root of hierarchy
- Graceful scaling as client count increases
- Server authority for conflict resolution
- Multiple server tiers for large deployments
### 3. Server-Initiated to Client-Hosting Failover
A hybrid model where the server starts as host but can transfer responsibilities to clients if needed:
- Server initially hosts the session
- If server disconnects, clients automatically reorganize
- Client-side hosting maintains operation during server absence
- When server returns, it smoothly reintegrates as the top-level host
- State changes during server absence are reconciled
**Implementation Considerations**:
- Fast detection of server disconnection
- Smooth transition to client hosting
- Efficient operation during server absence
- Clean reintegration when server returns
- State reconciliation to handle conflicts
### 4. Client-Initiated with Server Backup
A client-led model with server support:
- User creates and initially hosts the session
- Server joins as a participant but not the primary host
- If the hosting client disconnects or becomes unsuitable, hosting can transfer to the server
- Server provides persistence and backup capabilities
- Hybrid authority model
**Implementation Considerations**:
- Dynamic role switching between clients and server
- Server capability detection and utilization
- Partial authority delegation
- Flexible hosting preferences
### Common Requirements Across All Models
Regardless of the hosting configuration, these capabilities must be supported:
- Dynamic host selection through voting
- Tiered hierarchy for efficient communication
- Automatic reorganization when nodes join/leave
- State synchronization across the network
- Security and permission enforcement
These hosting configurations should be considered throughout development but are especially important during:
- Phase 4 (Voting and Host Selection)
- Phase 5 (Tier Management)
- Phase 7 (State Management)
- Phase 10 (Integration Testing)
## Testing Strategies by Component
### NetworkNode Testing

### TierManager Testing
- **Test tier reorganization**
- Empty tiers are handled correctly

- Successful server reintegration
- Proper state reconciliation
- **Test Client-with-Server-Backup**
- Client successfully hosts with server present
- Proper transition to server hosting when needed
- Flexible role distribution
## Code Coverage Strategy
To ensure 100% code coverage:
1. **Statement Coverage**
- Every line of code must be executed at least once during testing
- All variable assignments must be verified
- All function calls must be verified
2. **Branch Coverage**
- All conditional branches must be tested (if/else, switch cases)
- Both true and false conditions must be tested
- Default cases must be tested
3. **Function Coverage**
- All functions must be called at least once
- All function parameters must be tested with valid and invalid values
- Return values must be verified
4. **Line Coverage**
- All executable lines must be executed during testing
- Empty lines and comments don't count
## Implementation Guidelines
1. **Start Simple**: Begin with the simplest implementation that passes tests
2. **Refactor Incrementally**: Improve code quality in small, tested steps
3. **Handle Edge Cases**: Always include tests for boundary conditions
4. **Document as You Go**: Add JSDoc comments to all public APIs
5. **Review Each Phase**: Before moving to the next phase, review code quality and test coverage
## Development Workflow
1. Review the pseudo-code file you're implementing
2. Write tests first based on expected behavior
3. Implement the minimal code to pass tests
4. Refactor for clarity and performance
5. Add edge case tests and implementations
6. Document the completed component
7. Review and move to the next component
This phased approach ensures we build a robust, well-tested system that implements the complete architectural vision while maintaining code quality and test coverage.

## Testing Strategy
Testing uses these approaches:
### 1. Unit Testing
Each plugin component is tested in isolation:
```typescript
describe('PluginManager', () => {
let pluginManager: PluginManager;
let mockPlugin: IPlugin;
beforeEach(() => {
mockPlugin = createMockPlugin('test-plugin');
pluginManager = new PluginManager();
});
it('should register plugins correctly', () => {
const result = pluginManager.register(mockPlugin);
expect(result).toBe(true);
expect(pluginManager.getPlugin('test-plugin')).toBe(mockPlugin);
});
// More tests...
});
```
### 2. Integration Testing
Test plugin interactions with system components:
```typescript
describe('Plugin Integration', () => {
let networkSystem: NetworkSystem;
let pluginManager: PluginManager;
beforeEach(async () => {
// Use the TimerController instead of Jest timers
const timerController = TimerController.createInstance();
networkSystem = createNetworkSystem({ timerController });
pluginManager = new PluginManager({ networkSystem, timerController });
// Register plugins
pluginManager.register(new NetworkConditionPlugin());
pluginManager.register(new SecurityPlugin());
// Initialize
await pluginManager.initialize();
});
it('should enhance network system with plugin capabilities', () => {
// Get plugin
const networkConditionPlugin = pluginManager.getPlugin<NetworkConditionPlugin>('network-condition-plugin');
// Use plugin feature
networkConditionPlugin.setLatency(100);
// Test effect on network
// - Use memory transport instead of mocks
const result = testNetworkLatency(networkSystem);
expect(result.averageLatency).toBeCloseTo(100, 10);
});
// More tests...
});
```
### 3. Security Testing
Validate plugin isolation and security:
```typescript
describe('Plugin Security', () => {
let securityVerifier: SecurityVerifier;
let maliciousPlugin: IPlugin;
beforeEach(() => {
securityVerifier = new SecurityVerifier();
maliciousPlugin = createMaliciousPlugin();
});
it('should reject plugins with excessive permissions', () => {
const result = securityVerifier.verify(maliciousPlugin);
expect(result.verified).toBe(false);
expect(result.issues).toContain('Requested system access not permitted');
});
it('should sandbox plugin execution', () => {
const sandbox = securityVerifier.createSecureContext(validPlugin);
expect(() => sandbox.executeUnsafeCode()).toThrow();
});
// More tests...
});
```
### 4. Performance Testing
Measure plugin system overhead:
```typescript
describe('Plugin Performance', () => {
let baseNetworkSystem: NetworkSystem;
let pluginEnabledSystem: NetworkSystem;
beforeEach(async () => {
baseNetworkSystem = createNetworkSystem();
pluginEnabledSystem = createNetworkSystem();
const pluginManager = new PluginManager({ networkSystem: pluginEnabledSystem });
// Register multiple plugins
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
pluginManager.register(createTestPlugin(`test-plugin-${i}`));
}
await pluginManager.initialize();
});
it('should have acceptable overhead with multiple plugins', () => {
const baseResult = measureOperationTime(() => baseNetworkSystem.sendMessage());
const pluginResult = measureOperationTime(() => pluginEnabledSystem.sendMessage());
// Should have less than 10% overhead
expect(pluginResult.time / baseResult.time).toBeLessThan(1.1);
});
// More tests...
});
```
## Performance Considerations
1. **Lazy Loading**: Plugins are initialized only when needed
2. **Efficient Extension Point Implementation**: Minimal overhead for extension points
3. **Resource Usage Monitoring**: Automatic throttling of resource-intensive plugins
4. **Optimized Event Dispatch**: Event filtering to reduce unnecessary processing
5. **Caching Strategies**: Results of plugin operations are cached when appropriate
These optimizations ensure the plugin system adds minimal overhead while providing maximum flexibility.

# Network Library Architecture Analysis Report
## Executive Summary
After a thorough review of all the network library documentation, the design represents a comprehensive, well-structured approach to creating a hierarchical peer-to-peer networking system with considerable flexibility and resilience. The phased implementation strategy is logical, with clear dependencies and incremental development of features. The library's architectural approach successfully addresses many complex challenges in distributed systems while maintaining extensibility and adaptability.
While the overall design is sound, this report identifies several areas for refinement and consideration that may enhance the implementation, testing, and long-term maintainability of the library.
## Core Architecture Strengths
1. **Unified Node Architecture**: Using a single `NetworkNode` class with behavior determined by level simplifies the codebase while providing flexibility through configuration.
2. **Clear Separation of Concerns**: The architecture effectively separates transport, routing, state management, and other concerns into distinct components with well-defined interfaces.
3. **Extensibility Through Plugins**: The plugin architecture enables customization without modifying core code, facilitating adaptation to diverse requirements.
4. **Comprehensive Testing Strategy**: Each component has detailed testing requirements, ensuring reliability and correctness.
5. **Multiple Hosting Configurations**: Support for various deployment scenarios (client-side, server-based, hybrid) provides exceptional versatility.
6. **Resilience Focus**: Strong emphasis on handling network partitions, node failures, and reorganization ensures robust behavior in real-world conditions.
## Potential Discrepancies and Inconsistencies
### 1. Duplicate Phase 3 Header in PLAN.md
In the PLAN.md file, the header "## [Phase 3: Message Routing](./PHASE_3.md)" appears twice consecutively (lines 116-117). This should be fixed to avoid confusion.
### 2. Transport Implementation Scope Clarity
While the documentation states that WebRTC and WebSocket transports will be implemented as external plugins, there could be clearer guidelines on:
- Interface boundaries between core library and external transport plugins
- Reference implementation requirements for testing external plugins against the core
- Documentation standards for transport plugins
### 3. Security Model Integration
The security plugin is defined in Phase 6, but security concerns should permeate the entire architecture:
- Encryption at the transport layer (Phase 2)
- Authentication in network node connections (Phase 1)
- Authorization for tier management operations (Phase 5)
Ensure security aspects are consistently integrated across all phases rather than treated as a standalone plugin feature.
### 4. Event System Standardization
Different components appear to use slightly different patterns for event handling:
- Some use callbacks/handlers
- Others use emitter patterns
- Some define specific events, others use more generic approaches
A standardized event system across all components would improve consistency and ease of use.
## Potential Oversights
### 1. API Stability and Versioning Strategy
The documentation doesn't explicitly address:
- API versioning strategy
- Backward compatibility guarantees
- Migration paths for applications during upgrades
Adding a clear API stability policy would help application developers plan for long-term use.
### 2. Cold Start Optimization
While the system handles node joins, leaves, and reorganization well, the cold start scenario deserves special focus:
- Initial network formation efficiency
- Bootstrap mechanisms for the first nodes
- Strategies to optimize initial hierarchy establishment
This is particularly important for applications with frequent fresh starts.
### 3. Resource Management for Constrained Environments
The architecture addresses performance considerations broadly, but could benefit from more specific strategies for:
- Memory usage optimization in browser environments
- Battery consumption considerations for mobile devices
- Bandwidth conservation techniques for metered connections
### 4. Internationalization Considerations
Distributed systems often operate across regions and timezones:
- Timestamp handling across timezone boundaries
- Localization of error messages and logs
- Character encoding considerations for message payloads
### 5. Cross-Component Testing Focus
While individual component testing is comprehensive, additional focus on cross-component interactions would be valuable:
- How state management interacts with tier reorganization
- Security plugin effects on message routing performance
- Plugin interactions and potential conflicts
## Implementation Recommendations
### 1. Enhanced Transport Plugin Framework
Develop a more structured framework for external transport plugins:
- Create a transport plugin development kit (PDK)
- Provide reference implementations for WebRTC and WebSocket
- Include transport conformance tests to verify plugin compliance
### 2. Expanded Test Scenarios
Add the following test scenarios to verify edge cases:
- **Geographic Distribution Test**: Simulate nodes across different geographic regions with appropriate latency profiles
- **Network Convergence Test**: Measure time to stability after multiple simultaneous changes
- **Mixed Capability Test**: Verify behavior with widely varying node capabilities in the same network
- **Plugin Interaction Test**: Ensure multiple plugins work correctly together without conflicts
### 3. Documentation Improvements
Enhance documentation with:
- Architectural decision records explaining key design choices
- Performance tuning guidelines for different environments
- Security best practices for implementation
- Quick start guides for common use cases
### 4. Developer Tooling
Create developer tools to simplify implementation and debugging:
- Network visualizer for hierarchy and message flow
- State inspector for examining synchronized state
- Simulation configuration tool for testing scenarios
- Performance profiling utilities
## Integration Considerations
### 1. External System Integration
Provide clear patterns for integrating with:
- Authentication systems (OAuth, JWT, etc.)
- Logging and monitoring infrastructure
- Backend services and APIs
- Existing application state management
### 2. Framework-Specific Integrations
Consider creating companion packages for popular frameworks:
- React/Vue/Angular bindings
- Node.js server integration
- Electron desktop application integration
- React Native / mobile platform considerations
### 3. Deployment Environment Guidance
Add specific guidance for deploying in:
- Serverless environments
- Containerized deployments
- Edge computing scenarios
- CDN-distributed applications
## Long-term Maintenance Considerations
### 1. Community Engagement Strategy
Plan for:
- Contribution guidelines
- Plugin ecosystem development
- Feature request prioritization
- External test case contributions
### 2. Performance Benchmarking Framework
Develop:
- Standardized performance tests
- Regression detection tools
- Performance comparison tools for different configurations
- Load testing frameworks for large deployments
### 3. Versioning and Compatibility
Establish:
- Semantic versioning policies
- LTS (Long Term Support) strategy
- Deprecation policies and timelines
- Migration tools between major versions
## Conclusion
The network library architecture is well-designed and comprehensive, with a clear implementation path through its phased approach. By addressing the identified discrepancies, potential oversights, and recommendations, the library can become even more robust, user-friendly, and maintainable.
The modular design with clear separation of concerns will serve well for both immediate implementation and long-term evolution of the codebase. The thorough testing strategy provides confidence in its reliability, while the flexibility of the plugin system ensures adaptability to diverse requirements.
With attention to the areas highlighted in this report, the network library is positioned to be a powerful, reliable foundation for distributed applications with demanding networking requirements.

# Server Failover and Reintegration Scenario
## Overview
This document outlines a critical network scenario: server disconnection with automatic client-side hosting, followed by eventual server reintegration. This capability is a core strength of our hierarchical network architecture and should be carefully implemented and tested.
## Scenario Description
1. **Initial State**: Server acts as the top-level host (Level 4 or higher)
2. **Server Disconnection**: Server becomes unavailable (crash, network partition, etc.)
3. **Client Reorganization**: Clients detect server absence and reorganize into a self-sustaining hierarchy
4. **Autonomous Operation**: Network continues functioning with client-side hosting
5. **Server Return**: Server reconnects to the network
6. **Reintegration**: Server smoothly reintegrates as the top-level host
7. **State Synchronization**: Changes made during server absence are reconciled
## Implementation Requirements
### 1. Disconnection Detection
The system must quickly and reliably detect server unavailability:
- **Heartbeat Monitoring**: Regular ping/pong between tier levels
- **Timeout Configuration**: Configurable thresholds for declaring disconnection
- **Verification Mechanism**: Differentiate between temporary connectivity issues and true disconnection
- **Consensus Requirement**: Multiple nodes should agree on server unavailability before triggering reorganization
### 2. Tier Reorganization
Once server disconnection is confirmed, the network must reorganize:
- **Emergency Voting**: Trigger immediate voting for new top-tier host
- **Candidate Selection**: Identify qualified clients that can serve as top-tier host
- **Hierarchy Preservation**: Maintain as much of the existing hierarchy as possible
- **Minimal Disruption**: Limit reorganization to essential changes
### 3. Client-Side Hosting
The client-based hierarchy must efficiently manage communication:
- **Tiered Structure**:
- Level 0: Regular clients (leaf nodes)
- Level 1: Host clients managing small groups of clients
- Level 2: Tier hosts managing groups of hosts
- Level 3+: Higher-tier hosts (if network size requires it)
- **Resource Management**:
- Hosts must operate within device capability constraints
- Load balancing across hosts at the same level
- Adaptive tier depth based on network size
- **Role Adaptation**:
- Clients must implement all host functionality
- Node behavior adapts based on assigned level
- Level-specific configuration parameters
### 4. Server Reintegration
When the server returns, the system must handle its reintegration:
- **Detection**: Recognize returning server
- **Role Restoration**: Reestablish server as top-tier host
- **Smooth Transition**: Minimize disruption during reintegration
- **Hierarchy Adjustment**: Adapt tier structure as needed
### 5. State Synchronization
Changes made during server absence must be reconciled:
- **Change Tracking**: Record state changes during server disconnection
- **Conflict Resolution**: Resolve conflicting changes (server vs. client-side)
- **Delta Synchronization**: Efficiently transfer only necessary changes
- **Validation**: Verify state consistency after reconciliation
## Component Responsibilities
### TierManager
- Detect empty top tier (server absence)
- Orchestrate reorganization process
- Handle smooth reintegration when server returns
- Maintain hierarchy integrity throughout
### VotingManager
- Conduct emergency voting for new top-tier host
- Select best-qualified clients for promotion
- Facilitate server reintegration voting (if needed)
- Apply appropriate voting thresholds for emergency scenarios
### NetworkNode
- Adapt behavior based on dynamic level changes
- Implement functionality for all potential roles
- Handle connection management during transitions
- Maintain state during role changes
### StateManager
- Track state changes during server disconnection
- Facilitate efficient state transfer during reintegration
- Resolve conflicts between server and client states
- Ensure data consistency across the network
## Implementation Approach
The implementation should follow these principles:
1. **Graceful Degradation**:
- Network functionality should degrade gracefully when server is unavailable
- Essential functions continue with client-side hosting
- Optional features may be disabled during server absence
2. **Autonomous Operation**:
- Client network should function indefinitely without server
- All critical voting and reorganization logic present in client code
- No dependency on server for ongoing operation
3. **Seamless Transitions**:
- Users should experience minimal disruption during server disconnect/reconnect
- Message delivery should continue throughout transitions
- Session continuity should be maintained
4. **Resilience**:
- System should handle multiple disconnection/reconnection cycles
- Recovery from partial failures during transition
- Handling of edge cases like server disconnect during reorganization
## Testing Scenarios
### 1. Basic Server Failover
- **Setup**: Network with server and multiple clients
- **Action**: Force server disconnection
- **Expected**: Clients reorganize and continue functioning
- **Validation**: Messages continue to flow, hierarchy reforms
### 2. Long-Duration Server Absence
- **Setup**: Network with server and multiple clients
- **Action**: Server disconnects for extended period (hours)
- **Expected**: Client-side hosting remains stable
- **Validation**: Network functions correctly even after long server absence
### 3. Server Reintegration
- **Setup**: Network operating with client-side hosting after server disconnect
- **Action**: Server reconnects to network
- **Expected**: Server reintegrates as top-level host
- **Validation**: Hierarchy adjusts, server resumes top-level control
### 4. State Synchronization
- **Setup**: Server disconnects, clients make state changes
- **Action**: Server reconnects after significant state changes
- **Expected**: States are properly synchronized
- **Validation**: All nodes have consistent state after reintegration
### 5. Repeated Disconnect/Reconnect
- **Setup**: Network with server and multiple clients
- **Action**: Server rapidly disconnects and reconnects multiple times
- **Expected**: System remains stable despite frequent changes
- **Validation**: Network topology stabilizes after disruptions
## Implementation Tracking
Key success indicators for this scenario:
1. **Disconnection Detection Time**: How quickly server absence is detected
2. **Reorganization Speed**: Time to establish client-side hosting
3. **Message Continuity**: Percentage of messages delivered during transition
4. **Reintegration Smoothness**: Time to reintegrate server and stabilize
5. **State Consistency**: Accuracy of state after synchronization
## Integration Points
This scenario requires integration between multiple components:
- **TierManager**: Handles hierarchy changes
- **VotingManager**: Selects new hosts at each level
- **StateManager**: Ensures data consistency
- **MessageRouter**: Maintains communication throughout
- **TransportManager**: Handles connection management
By thoroughly implementing and testing this server failover scenario, the library will provide robust support for applications that require continuous operation even when servers become unavailable, with minimal disruption when servers return.

# Network Tier Partition Handler - Test Fix Plan
## Issue Analysis
Based on examining the code in `tier-partition-handler.ts` and its test file `tier-partition-handler.spec.ts`, I've identified several potential issues that could be causing the failing tests:
1. **Promise Ordering Issue**:
- In the test "should successfully recover from partitions", on line 289, `originalPromise` is used before it's defined (it's defined on line 289 after being used).
- This creates a reference error situation.
2. **Missing Implementation Method**:
- The tests mock a method called `_mergePartitionNodes` which doesn't appear to be implemented in the TierPartitionHandler class.
- This is critical for the partition recovery functionality.
3. **Children & Siblings Iteration**:
- The implementation uses `.values()` on children and siblings collections, but the test might be expecting arrays.
- There's a comment about "fixed the string conversion issue" which suggests previous problems.
4. **Connectivity Map Building**:
- The test mocks `_buildConnectivityMap` but depends on connectivity map for other operations.
- This could lead to inconsistent behavior during tests.
5. **Partition Recovery Logic**:
- The order of Promise mocking in the recovery tests could be causing timing issues.
## Fix Implementation Plan
### 1. Fix Promise Declaration Order
Reorder the Promise mock in the test to ensure `originalPromise` is defined before it's used:
```typescript
// Store original Promise constructor
const originalPromise = global.Promise;
// Mock the Promise timeout to resolve immediately
jest.spyOn(global, 'Promise').mockImplementation((executor) => {
return new originalPromise((resolve, reject) => {
executor(resolve, reject);
});
});
```
### 2. Add Missing _mergePartitionNodes Method
Implement the missing method in TierPartitionHandler:
```typescript
/**
* Merge nodes from one partition into another
* @param primaryPartitionId The ID of the primary partition
* @param secondaryNodeIds Array of node IDs from the secondary partition
*/
private _mergePartitionNodes(primaryPartitionId: string, secondaryNodeIds: string[]): void {
// Implement node merging logic here
// This method should handle any state reconciliation needed
// when merging partitions
}
```
### 3. Ensure Connectivity Map Consistency
Review and update the `_buildConnectivityMap` implementation to ensure it handles node relationships correctly:
```typescript
// For example, ensure consistent access to children:
for (const child of node.children) {
const childId = typeof child === 'string' ? child : child.id;
connections.add(childId);
connectivityMap.get(childId)?.add(node.id);
}
```
### 4. Fix Mocking Sequence in Tests
Improve the test mocking approach by:
- Using beforeEach to set up common mocks
- Ensuring mocks are declared before they're needed
- Properly restoring mocks in afterEach
### 5. Add Comprehensive Error Handling
Enhance error handling in the partition detection and recovery methods to make failures more diagnosable.
## Implementation Sequence
1. Fix the test code first, specifically the Promise declaration order
2. Implement any missing methods in the TierPartitionHandler
3. Address connectivity map and collection iteration issues
4. Add better error handling and logging
5. Run tests incrementally to verify each fix
This plan should systematically address the issues causing the test failures while maintaining the existing functionality of the network tier partition handler.

# Analysis of Test Failures in Network Library
## Failing Tests Overview
When running `bun test libs/network/src`, these tests fail:
```sql
✗ MemoryTransport > Simulated network conditions > should simulate connection delay
✗ MemoryTransport > Simulated network conditions > should simulate latency
✗ VotingManager > session management > should get vote history
✗ NetworkNodePhase4 > initialization > should register core network reliability calculator
✗ NetworkNodePhase4 > host selection > should select the best host
✗ MessageBatch > Age tracking > should track batch age
✗ TransportTester > testMessageDelivery > should return true when message is delivered
✗ TransportTester > testReliability > should report perfect reliability when all messages delivered
✗ TransportTester > testReliability > should report partial reliability when some messages lost
```
However, when running each test file individually, all tests pass. This indicates an issue with test isolation.
## Root Cause Analysis for Each Failing Test
### 1. MemoryTransport - Connection Delay & Latency Tests
**File:** `libs/network/src/transport/memory-transport.spec.ts`
**Issues:**
- Both tests use real `setTimeout` for time-based assertions
- The `MemoryTransport` class uses a static `_instances` Map that isn't properly reset between tests
- Tests make timing assertions that can be affected by other running tests
**Relevant code:**
```typescript
it('should simulate connection delay', async () => {
const simulationOptions: MemoryTransportSimulationOptions = {
connectionDelay: 50
};
const transport = new MemoryTransport('delayed-transport', {
simulationOptions,
eventEmitter: new NetworkEventEmitter()
});
const startTime = Date.now();
await transport.connect();
const endTime = Date.now();
expect(endTime - startTime).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(50);
});
```
**Solution:**
1. Update `MemoryTransport` to accept a `TimerController` instance
2. Add a static `resetRegistry` method to clear all instances
3. Refactor tests to use `TimerController` for time simulation
### 2. VotingManager - Vote History Test
**File:** `libs/network/src/voting/voting-manager.spec.ts`
**Issues:**
- The test creates and completes multiple sessions
- Some sessions may be added to history out of order due to timing issues
- Depends on proper cleanup between tests
**Relevant code:**
```typescript
it('should get vote history', () => {
// Create a vote session
const sessionId = votingManager.createVoteSession(VoteType.HOST_SELECTION, 'session');
// Complete the session to move it to history
const session = votingManager.getSession(sessionId);
if (session) {
// Add some votes
(session as any)._testAddVote({
voteId: 'vote1',
voterId: 'node1',
value: { selectedHost: 'node1' },
timestamp: Date.now()
});
// Force completion
(session as any)._testSetStatus(VoteSessionStatus.COMPLETED);
}
// Get vote history
const history = votingManager.getVoteHistory();
// Verify history
expect(history.length).toBe(1);
expect(history[0].id).toBe(sessionId);
});
```
**Solution:**
1. Ensure `VotingManager` properly cleans up between tests
2. Use a consistent timestamp source that can be controlled
3. Improve assertion to check if the expected session is in the history, not just the count
### 3. NetworkNodePhase4 - Initialization and Host Selection
**File:** `libs/network/src/node/network-node-phase4.spec.ts`
**Issues:**
- The test creates multiple extensions in the same test file
- Each extension registers calculators with shared resources
- The host selection test depends on mocked responses that could be affected by other tests
**Relevant code:**
```typescript
it('should register core network reliability calculator', () => {
// Spy on metrics manager
const registerCalculatorSpy = jest.spyOn(nodePhase4.metricsManager, 'registerCalculator');
// Create a new extension to verify registration
const newExtension = new NetworkNodePhase4(mockNode, eventEmitter);
// Verify calculator was registered
expect(registerCalculatorSpy).toHaveBeenCalled();
// Clean up
newExtension.dispose();
});
```
**Solution:**
1. Ensure proper cleanup between tests with more thorough `dispose()` methods
2. Isolate dependencies so that new instances don't interfere with each other
3. Replace event emitter instances in each test
### 4. MessageBatch - Age Tracking
**File:** `libs/network/src/router/message-batch.spec.ts`
**Issues:**
- Uses real `setTimeout` which can be affected by other tests
- Depends on actual timing for assertions
**Relevant code:**
```typescript
it('should track batch age', async () => {
// Create a batch and wait a bit
const initialAge = batch.age;
// Wait at least 10ms
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10));
// Age should have increased
expect(batch.age).toBeGreaterThan(initialAge);
expect(batch.age).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(10);
});
```
**Solution:**
1. Update `MessageBatch` to optionally accept a `TimerController`
2. Refactor test to use controlled time advancement
### 5. TransportTester - Message Delivery and Reliability Tests
**File:** `libs/network/src/transport/pdk/transport-testing.spec.ts`
**Issues:**
- Tests rely on asynchronous callbacks and real timing
- MockTransport implementation uses real `setTimeout`
- Race conditions can cause tests to fail when run concurrently
**Relevant code:**
```typescript
it('should return true when message is delivered', async () => {
// Setup receiver to simulate receiving the message
const testMessage = { test: true };
// We need to simulate the receipt of the message when the sender sends it
sender.on(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_SENT, (msg) => {
receiver.simulateMessageReceived(msg, sender.id);
});
const result = await TransportTester.testMessageDelivery(sender, receiver, testMessage);
expect(result).toBe(true);
});
```
**Solution:**
1. Update `MockTransport` to use `TimerController`
2. Modify `TransportTester` to optionally accept a `TimerController`
3. Use controlled time advancement rather than actual timeouts
## Common Patterns and Solution Strategy
### Core Issues
1. **Shared Static State**: Several classes use static properties or singletons
2. **Real Timing Dependency**: Tests rely on actual setTimeout/setInterval
3. **Timestamp Variations**: Inconsistent approaches to time tracking
### Solution Strategy
1. **Refactor TimerController**:
- Remove the singleton pattern
- Create factory for isolated instances
- Ensure proper cleanup methods
2. **Update Key Classes**:
```typescript
interface TimeOptions {
timerController?: TimerController;
useRealTime?: boolean; // Default to false in tests
}
```
3. **Consistent Cleanup Pattern**:
```typescript
beforeEach(() => {
// Create isolated timer instances for each test
const timer = TimerController.createInstance();
// Reset any static state
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Create test instances with isolated timers
testInstance = new ClassUnderTest({
timerController: timer
});
});
afterEach(() => {
// Clean up instances
testInstance.dispose();
// Reset any static state again
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
});
```
4. **Time-based Assertions**:
```typescript
// Before
const startTime = Date.now();
await someAsyncOperation();
const elapsed = Date.now() - startTime;
expect(elapsed).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(expectedTime);
// After
const timer = TimerController.createInstance();
const startTime = timer.getCurrentTime();
// Start the operation without await
const operation = someAsyncOperation();
// Advance time
timer.advanceTime(expectedTime + 10);
// Now wait for the operation to complete
await operation;
// Check the operation had the expected effect
// But don't assert based on actual elapsed time
```
By implementing these changes systematically across the test suite, we can ensure proper test isolation and eliminate the timing-related test failures.

# Test Isolation Fix Plan
## Problem Analysis
After analyzing the failing tests, we've identified several issues that cause tests to fail when run together but pass individually:
1. **Singleton TimerController**: The `TimerController` class uses a singleton pattern, which means all tests share the same timer instance. This causes interference between tests.
2. **Static Registry in MemoryTransport**: The `MemoryTransport` class uses a static registry (`_instances`) to track all transport instances, which isn't properly cleaned up between tests.
3. **Time-sensitive Tests**: Several tests rely on actual timing with `setTimeout`, making them flaky.
4. **Date.now() Usage**: Tests using `Date.now()` can be affected by other tests that mock time-related functions.
## Proposed Solutions
### 1. Update TimerController to Support Multiple Instances
The current `TimerController` is implemented as a singleton, which prevents proper test isolation. We need to modify it to:
- Allow creation of independent instances for each test
- Add a method to create a factory that provides isolated instances
- Ensure `reset()` is called in `beforeEach` and `afterEach` blocks
### 2. Fix MemoryTransport Static Registry
- Add a `resetRegistry()` static method to clear all instances
- Ensure this is called in `beforeEach` and `afterEach` hooks in tests
- Make sure disconnection properly removes instances from the registry
### 3. Refactor Time-Sensitive Tests
For each of the failing tests:
#### MemoryTransport Tests
- Update `should simulate connection delay` to use TimerController instead of real delays
- Update `should simulate latency` to use TimerController
#### MessageBatch Tests
- Update `should track batch age` to use TimerController instead of real setTimeout
#### TransportTester Tests
- Update message delivery tests to use TimerController
- Update reliability tests to address race conditions
#### NetworkNodePhase4 Tests
- Ensure proper cleanup and isolation of network components
### 4. Create Test Utility Classes
Create test utility classes/functions that:
- Provide isolated TimerController instances
- Help mock Date.now() consistently
- Ensure all static registries are reset between tests
## Implementation Details
### TimerController Changes
```typescript
// Modifications needed to TimerController
export class TimerController {
private _currentTime = 0;
private _timers: Map<number, ScheduledTimer> = new Map();
private _nextTimerId = 1;
// Remove static singleton instance
// private static _instance: TimerController;
// Replace getInstance with createInstance
public static createInstance(): TimerController {
return new TimerController();
}
// Other methods remain the same...
}
// Helper for tests
export function createIsolatedTimerController(): TimerController {
return TimerController.createInstance();
}
```
### MemoryTransport Test Setup
```typescript
// In memory-transport.spec.ts
beforeEach(() => {
// Reset static registry
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Create fresh instances with isolated timer controllers
const timer1 = createIsolatedTimerController();
const timer2 = createIsolatedTimerController();
// Create transports with these timers
transport1 = new MemoryTransport('transport-1', {
eventEmitter: eventEmitter1,
timerController: timer1
});
transport2 = new MemoryTransport('transport-2', {
eventEmitter: eventEmitter2,
timerController: timer2
});
});
afterEach(() => {
// Clean up
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
});
```
### TransportTester Tests
The TransportTester tests require special attention to ensure proper timing control. The issue is that these tests verify asynchronous behaviors like message delivery and reliability.
```typescript
// In transport-testing.spec.ts
beforeEach(() => {
// Reset static registries and create isolated timer controllers
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
const senderTimer = createIsolatedTimerController();
const receiverTimer = createIsolatedTimerController();
// Configure transports with isolated timers
sender = new MockTransport('sender', undefined, senderTimer);
receiver = new MockTransport('receiver', undefined, receiverTimer);
});
afterEach(() => {
// Clean up
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Additional cleanup as needed
});
```
## Next Steps
After implementing these changes:
1. Run individual test suites to verify they still pass
2. Run the full test suite to verify the fixes resolved the isolation issues
3. Add documentation about the importance of test isolation
4. Consider adding a linting rule to prevent direct usage of setTimeout/setInterval in tests
## Implementation Recommendation
To implement these changes, we should switch to Code mode and systematically update each test file, ensuring that each component of the system is properly isolated from others during testing.

# Implementation Guide: Fixing Test Isolation Issues
This guide provides a step-by-step approach to resolving the test isolation issues in the network library. By implementing these changes, the tests that currently fail when run together will pass, maintaining proper isolation between test cases.
## Phase 1: Refactor TimerController
### Step 1: Update TimerController Class
First, we need to modify the TimerController to support multiple instances:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/utils/timer-controller.ts
export class TimerController {
// Remove static instance
// private static _instance: TimerController;
private _currentTime = 0;
private _timers: Map<number, ScheduledTimer> = new Map();
private _nextTimerId = 1;
/**
* Create a new TimerController instance
* This replaces the singleton getInstance method
*/
public static createInstance(): TimerController {
return new TimerController();
}
// Keep the original getInstance for backward compatibility
// but have it create a new instance each time in test environment
public static getInstance(): TimerController {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test') {
console.warn('Using TimerController.getInstance() in tests may cause isolation issues.');
return new TimerController();
}
if (!TimerController._instance) {
TimerController._instance = new TimerController();
}
return TimerController._instance;
}
// Remaining methods stay the same
}
// Add factory function for tests
export function createTestTimerController(): TimerController {
return TimerController.createInstance();
}
```
### Step 2: Create Timer Context Utility
Next, create a utility to provide contextual timers for tests:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/utils/test/timer-context.ts
import { TimerController } from '../timer-controller';
interface TimerContext {
timer: TimerController;
getCurrentTime: () => number;
setTimeout: (callback: () => void, delay: number) => number;
setInterval: (callback: () => void, interval: number) => number;
clearTimeout: (id: number) => void;
clearInterval: (id: number) => void;
advanceTime: (timeMs: number) => void;
reset: () => void;
}
/**
* Create a timer context for use in tests
* This provides an isolated timer instance with utility methods
*/
export function createTimerContext(): TimerContext {
const timer = TimerController.createInstance();
return {
timer,
getCurrentTime: () => timer.getCurrentTime(),
setTimeout: (callback, delay) => timer.setTimeout(callback, delay),
setInterval: (callback, interval) => timer.setInterval(callback, interval),
clearTimeout: (id) => timer.clearTimeout(id),
clearInterval: (id) => timer.clearInterval(id),
advanceTime: (timeMs) => timer.advanceTime(timeMs),
reset: () => timer.reset()
};
}
```
## Phase 2: Fix MemoryTransport Tests
### Step 1: Update MemoryTransport Class
Modify MemoryTransport to accept a TimerController and add registry reset:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/transport/memory-transport.ts
export interface MemoryTransportOptions {
eventEmitter?: INetworkEventEmitter;
simulationOptions?: MemoryTransportSimulationOptions;
timerController?: TimerController; // Add this
}
export class MemoryTransport extends BaseTransport {
private static _instances: Map<string, MemoryTransport> = new Map();
private _simOptions: MemoryTransportSimulationOptions;
private _timer: TimerController;
constructor(id: string, options?: MemoryTransportOptions) {
super(id, options?.eventEmitter);
this._simOptions = options?.simulationOptions || {};
this._timer = options?.timerController || TimerController.getInstance();
MemoryTransport._instances.set(id, this);
}
// Add this static method for test cleanup
public static resetRegistry(): void {
MemoryTransport._instances.clear();
}
// Update time-sensitive methods to use the timer
private async _simulateDelay(baseDelay: number): Promise<void> {
let delay = baseDelay;
if (this._simOptions.jitter) {
const jitterAmount = (Math.random() * 2 - 1) * this._simOptions.jitter;
delay = Math.max(0, delay + jitterAmount);
}
if (delay > 0) {
// Replace setTimeout with timer
return new Promise<void>(resolve => {
this._timer.setTimeout(() => resolve(), delay);
this._timer.advanceTime(delay);
});
}
}
}
```
### Step 2: Update MemoryTransport Tests
Modify the tests to use isolated timers:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/transport/memory-transport.spec.ts
import { TimerController } from '../utils/timer-controller';
describe('MemoryTransport', () => {
let transport1: MemoryTransport;
let transport2: MemoryTransport;
let eventEmitter1: NetworkEventEmitter;
let eventEmitter2: NetworkEventEmitter;
let timer1: TimerController;
let timer2: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
// Reset static registry
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Create isolated timer controllers
timer1 = TimerController.createInstance();
timer2 = TimerController.createInstance();
eventEmitter1 = new NetworkEventEmitter();
eventEmitter2 = new NetworkEventEmitter();
// Create transports with isolated timers
transport1 = new MemoryTransport('transport-1', {
eventEmitter: eventEmitter1,
timerController: timer1
});
transport2 = new MemoryTransport('transport-2', {
eventEmitter: eventEmitter2,
timerController: timer2
});
});
afterEach(() => {
// Clean up
transport1.disconnect().catch(e => console.error('Cleanup error:', e));
transport2.disconnect().catch(e => console.error('Cleanup error:', e));
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Reset timers
timer1.reset();
timer2.reset();
});
// Update the time-sensitive tests
describe('Simulated network conditions', () => {
it('should simulate connection delay', async () => {
const testTimer = TimerController.createInstance();
const simulationOptions: MemoryTransportSimulationOptions = {
connectionDelay: 50
};

const endTime = testTimer.getCurrentTime();
expect(endTime - startTime).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(50);
// Clean up
await testTransport.disconnect();
await receiver.disconnect();
});
});
});
```
## Phase 3: Fix MessageBatch Tests
### Step 1: Update MessageBatch Class
Modify MessageBatch to support TimerController:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/router/message-batch.ts
import { TimerController } from '../utils/timer-controller';
export interface MessageBatchOptions {
timerController?: TimerController;
}
export class MessageBatch {
private _timer: TimerController;
private _creationTime: number;
constructor(
private _priority: MessagePriority,
private _maxSize: number,
options?: MessageBatchOptions
) {
this._timer = options?.timerController || TimerController.getInstance();
this._creationTime = this._timer.getCurrentTime();
}
// Update age getter to use timer
get age(): number {
return this._timer.getCurrentTime() - this._creationTime;
}
// Other methods stay the same
}
```
### Step 2: Update MessageBatch Tests
```typescript
// libs/network/src/router/message-batch.spec.ts
import { TimerController } from '../utils/timer-controller';
describe('MessageBatch', () => {
let batch: MessageBatch;
let timer: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
timer = TimerController.createInstance();
batch = new MessageBatch(MessagePriority.MEDIUM, 3, { timerController: timer });
});
afterEach(() => {
timer.reset();
});
// Update the time-sensitive test
describe('Age tracking', () => {
it('should track batch age', () => {
// Get initial age
const initialAge = batch.age;
expect(initialAge).toBe(0);
// Advance timer instead of waiting
timer.advanceTime(10);
// Check age increased
expect(batch.age).toBeGreaterThan(initialAge);
expect(batch.age).toBe(10);
// Advance more
timer.advanceTime(15);
expect(batch.age).toBe(25);
});
});
});
```
## Phase 4: Fix TransportTester Tests
### Step 1: Update TransportTester Class
```typescript
// libs/network/src/transport/pdk/transport-testing.ts
import { TimerController } from '../../utils/timer-controller';
export interface TestOptions {
timerController?: TimerController;
}
export class TransportTester {
/**
* Test message delivery between two transports
*/
public static async testMessageDelivery(
sender: ITransport,
receiver: ITransport,
message: any = { test: true },
timeoutMs: number = 1000,
options?: TestOptions
): Promise<boolean> {
const timer = options?.timerController || TimerController.getInstance();
let messageReceived = false;
// Connect both transports
await sender.connect();
await receiver.connect();
// Listen for message received event
const onMessageReceived = (msg: any, senderId: string) => {
if (senderId === sender.id) {
messageReceived = true;
}
};
receiver.on(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, onMessageReceived);
try {
// Send the message
await sender.sendTo(receiver.id, message);
// Instead of a timeout, use timer advancement
if (!messageReceived) {
timer.advanceTime(timeoutMs);
await timer.waitForPromises();
}
return messageReceived;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error in testMessageDelivery:', error);
return false;
} finally {
// Clean up
receiver.off(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, onMessageReceived);
}
}
// Update other methods similarly
}
```
### Step 2: Update MockTransport for Tests
```typescript
// Update in transport-testing.spec.ts
class MockTransport implements ITransport {
private _timer: TimerController;
constructor(
id: string,
eventEmitter?: NetworkEventEmitter,
timerController?: TimerController
) {
this.id = id;
this._eventEmitter = eventEmitter || new NetworkEventEmitter();
this._timer = timerController || TimerController.getInstance();
}
// Update delay method
private async _delay(ms: number): Promise<void> {
if (ms <= 0) return;
return new Promise<void>(resolve => {
this._timer.setTimeout(() => resolve(), ms);
this._timer.advanceTime(ms);
});
}
}
```
### Step 3: Update TransportTester Tests
```typescript
// libs/network/src/transport/pdk/transport-testing.spec.ts
describe('TransportTester', () => {
let sender: MockTransport;
let receiver: MockTransport;
let timer: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
timer = TimerController.createInstance();
sender = new MockTransport('sender', undefined, timer);
receiver = new MockTransport('receiver', undefined, timer);
});
afterEach(() => {
timer.reset();
});
// Update time-sensitive tests
describe('testMessageDelivery', () => {
it('should return true when message is delivered', async () => {
// Setup receiver to simulate receiving messages
sender.on(TransportEvents.MESSAGE_SENT, (msg) => {
receiver.simulateMessageReceived(msg, sender.id);
});
const result = await TransportTester.testMessageDelivery(
sender,
receiver,
{ test: true },
1000,
{ timerController: timer }
);
expect(result).toBe(true);
});
});
});
```
## Phase 5: Fix NetworkNodePhase4 Tests
Ensure proper cleanup in tests and use isolated timer instances:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/node/network-node-phase4.spec.ts
describe('NetworkNodePhase4', () => {
let nodePhase4: NetworkNodePhase4;
let eventEmitter: NetworkEventEmitter;
let timer: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
// Reset any shared state
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
// Create isolated timer
timer = TimerController.createInstance();
// Create a new event emitter for each test
eventEmitter = new NetworkEventEmitter();
// Reset mocks
jest.clearAllMocks();
// Create the Phase 4 node extension with timer
nodePhase4 = new NetworkNodePhase4(mockNode, eventEmitter, { timerController: timer });
});
afterEach(() => {
nodePhase4.dispose();
timer.reset();
MemoryTransport.resetRegistry();
});
// Update time-sensitive tests
});
```
## Phase 6: Fix VotingManager Tests
Update the VotingManager to use TimerController:
```typescript
// libs/network/src/voting/voting-manager.spec.ts
describe('VotingManager', () => {
let votingManager: VotingManager;
let eventEmitter: NetworkEventEmitter;
let timer: TimerController;
beforeEach(() => {
// Create isolated timer
timer = TimerController.createInstance();
// Create a new event emitter for each test
eventEmitter = new NetworkEventEmitter();
// Reset mocks
jest.clearAllMocks();
// Set test environment variable
process.env['NODE_ENV'] = 'test';
// Create the voting manager with timer
votingManager = new VotingManager(
mockNode,
eventEmitter,
mockMetricsManager,
{
timerController: timer
}
);
});
afterEach(() => {
votingManager.dispose();
timer.reset();
});
// Update timing-dependent tests
});
```
## Final Steps
1. After implementing these changes, run individual test suites to verify they still pass
2. Run the full test suite to ensure isolation issues are resolved
3. Document the approach in the project README to ensure future tests maintain proper isolation
By systematically implementing these changes, we will ensure proper test isolation and eliminate the test failures that occur when running the full test suite.

# Storage
The **storage** layer is a pluggable, content-agnostic key→bytes substrate. It is the lowest level of the file stack: it knows nothing about files, paths, chunks, encryption, or peers — it stores `Uint8Array` values addressed by string keys, and exposes a uniform capability matrix so the layer above it (`@suaveplan/drive`) can decide which optimisations are safe.
This folder is the architectural reference for the storage layer. It does not duplicate the OpenSpec capability spec — it explains it.
## Documents in this folder
| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| [`architecture.md`](./architecture.md) | The `AbstractStorage` contract, the capability matrix (`partialReads`/`partialWrites`/`nativeStreams`/`atomicWrites`/`contentAddressable`), `setPartial` semantics, and `NamespacedStorage` scoping. |
| [`backends.md`](./backends.md) | Every storage backend the platform supports or will support: `MemoryStorage`, `S3`, browser (`IndexedDB`/`localStorage`/OPFS), Node fs, SQLite, FAT/exFAT/ext4 via WASM, and the planned WebRTC/HTTPS chunk transports. Each entry lists capability values, runtime, and migration status. |
| [`implementation-status.md`](./implementation-status.md) | What is actually shipped on `genesis` today vs what still lives on `main` (and what is brand-new). |
## One-paragraph summary
`AbstractStorage` is a Zod-validated, OTel-instrumented base class that defines `get`, `set`, `setPartial`, `delete`, `has`, `clear`, `list`, `batch`, `createReadStream`, `createWriteStream`, plus an explicit `capabilities` field. Every concrete backend extends `AbstractStorage` and overrides exactly the methods it can implement natively; the base class provides default fallbacks (most importantly a read-modify-write `defaultSetPartial`) so consumers can call any method on any backend without runtime probing. `NamespacedStorage` wraps another storage to give it a key prefix and inherits the inner backend's capabilities. Encryption, signing, integrity, manifests, paths, directories, and CoW versioning all live above this layer — the storage layer never sees a plaintext byte that doesn't belong to it.
## What storage is not
- **Not a filesystem.** It has no concept of directories, `..`, `cwd`, mode bits, owners, mtime, or symlinks. The drive layer (above) builds those concepts on top.
- **Not a database.** No queries, joins, indexes, or relations. SQLite-backed storage uses SQLite as a blob store, not as a query engine.
- **Not a transport.** It does not push bytes to peers. The drive-mesh and drive-transport-* layers do that.
- **Not encrypted by itself.** Storage stores the bytes you give it, byte-for-byte. If you want encryption-at-rest, write ciphertext (the `chunks` plugin does this for you).
## Reading order
If you are new to this stack, read in this order:
1. [`architecture.md`](./architecture.md) — understand the contract.
2. [`backends.md`](./backends.md) — see what concrete substrates are available.
3. [`../drive/architecture.md`](../drive/architecture.md) — see how the layer above consumes it.
4. [`../drive-storage-network.md`](../drive-storage-network.md) — see the whole composition.

# Storage Architecture
Canonical capability spec: [`openspec/specs/storage/spec.md`](../../openspec/specs/storage/spec.md) (`STORAGE-01`..`STORAGE-04`). This document explains the contract; the spec defines it.
## The structural contract: `StorageLike`
The minimum any storage adapter must satisfy lives in `@suaveplan/types/storage-like` so that consumers (drive, plugins, tests) can accept any conformant implementation without taking a runtime dependency on `@suaveplan/storage`. This is the wire that breaks the circular-dep risk between drive and storage.
```ts
interface StorageLike {
get(key: string): Promise<Uint8Array | undefined>;
set(key: string, value: Uint8Array): Promise<void>;
delete(key: string): Promise<boolean>;
exists(key: string): Promise<boolean>;
list(opts?: { prefix?: string; limit?: number }): Promise<{
keys: string[]; total: number; hasMore: boolean; continuationToken?: string;
}>;
clear(): Promise<void>;
// optional batch surface
getMany?(keys: readonly string[]): Promise<ReadonlyMap<string, Uint8Array | undefined>>;
setMany?(entries: readonly (readonly [string, Uint8Array])[]): Promise<void>;
deleteMany?(keys: readonly string[]): Promise<number>;
}
```
## The concrete base class: `AbstractStorage`
`AbstractStorage` (in `@suaveplan/storage`) extends `StorageLike` with the rest of the platform surface. Every concrete backend extends `AbstractStorage`.
| Method | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `get(key)` / `set(key, value, options?)` | Whole-blob read/write. `options` carries TTL and metadata. |
| `setPartial(key, offset, bytes, signal?)` | **Sparse byte-range write.** See `STORAGE-01..03` below. |
| `getPartial(key, start, end)` | Byte-range read for resume-friendly downloads. |
| `delete(key)` / `has(key)` / `clear(pattern?)` | Lifecycle. |
| `list(pattern?, options?)` | Glob-prefixed enumeration. |
| `batch(operations)` | Multi-op grouping (atomic only when the backend says so). |
| `createReadStream(key)` / `createWriteStream(key)` | WHATWG streams; falls back to whole-blob when `nativeStreams=false`. |
| `namespace(prefix)` | Returns a `NamespacedStorage` view. |
| `capabilities` | Readonly record describing what the backend can do natively. |
## The capability matrix (`STORAGE-04`)
Every backend declares a `capabilities` record so the drive layer can pick the right strategy without runtime probing.
```ts
interface StorageCapabilities {
partialReads: boolean; // getPartial(key, start, end) is native
partialWrites: boolean; // setPartial(key, offset, bytes) is native (no RMW)
nativeStreams: boolean; // createReadStream/createWriteStream are native (no buffering)
atomicWrites: boolean; // set is atomic across crash
contentAddressable: boolean; // key is the content hash; same-content writes coalesce
}
```
Defaults are all `false` (`DEFAULT_STORAGE_CAPABILITIES`). Subclasses opt in only for what they truly support.
The drive-plugin-chunks layer reads these flags directly to choose its layout (see `CHUNKS-LAYOUT-AUTO-01`):
- `partialWrites === true` → use the **sparse-file** layout (one key per file, byte ranges).
- `partialWrites === false` → use the **chunk-keys** layout (one key per chunk).
## `setPartial` semantics (`STORAGE-01..03`)
`setPartial` is the load-bearing method that lets large files survive a backend that does not support random-access writes. The contract is:
1. **Always available** (`STORAGE-01`). `AbstractStorage.setPartial` is abstract; every concrete subclass must provide one. `defaultSetPartial` is a protected RMW fallback that subclasses can call when `capabilities.partialWrites === false`.
2. **Sparse extension** (`STORAGE-02`). Writing to an offset past the current end zero-fills the gap on subsequent reads. This lets the chunks plugin pre-allocate a sparse file and fill chunks in arbitrary order.
3. **In-place overwrite** (`STORAGE-03`). Writing into an existing range overwrites only the addressed bytes; everything outside `[offset, offset+bytes.length)` is preserved exactly. Zero-length writes are a no-op.
When a backend genuinely cannot support partial writes (`S3`), `setPartial` falls back to `defaultSetPartial`, which downloads the full object, splices the new bytes in, and re-uploads — correct but expensive. The drive layer reads `partialWrites` and routes around this when it can.
## `NamespacedStorage` (scoping)
`storage.namespace("drive/users/alice/")` returns a `NamespacedStorage` that prefixes every key with `"drive/users/alice/"` before delegating to the inner storage. The wrapper inherits the inner storage's `capabilities` exactly — namespace scoping is purely a key transform. This is how `drive`, `drive-plugin-chunks`, and `drive-sharing` give each tenant/file/partition its own keyspace without dragging tenancy concerns down into every backend.
## What lives above storage, not in it
| Concern | Where it lives | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Paths, directories, `..` resolution | `@suaveplan/drive` | Storage keys are opaque strings. |
| File metadata (size, mtime, owner) | `@suaveplan/drive` | Stat goes through the drive plugin chain. |
| Chunk headers, signatures, AEAD tags | `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks` | Storage stores ciphertext bytes, never plaintext. |
| Manifests, BLAKE3/SHA-256 integrity | `@suaveplan/drive-plugin-chunks` | Storage does not verify content. |
| Replication, redundancy, peer fetch | `@suaveplan/drive-mesh` + `@suaveplan/network-plugin-content-delivery` | Storage is single-replica by definition. |
| Encryption keys, vault, KDF | `@suaveplan/crypto-vault`, `@suaveplan/keys` | Storage never sees a key. |
This separation is what lets the storage layer accept **any** backend — local fs, S3, OPFS, IndexedDB, an embedded FAT image, a Garage cluster — and have the drive layer treat them all the same.
## OTel and errors
Every concrete subclass instruments `storage.ops` (counter), `storage.op.duration_ms` (histogram), and `storage.value.bytes` (histogram). Errors are `StorageError` (and the four typed subclasses `StorageNotFoundError`, `StorageQuotaError`, `StorageInvalidKeyError`, `StorageBatchError`) with codes in the frozen `STORAGE_CODES` registry. Backends MAY add their own namespaced registries (`S3.S3_CODES`) but MUST extend the base error class.

# Storage Backends
This is the catalogue of every concrete `AbstractStorage` implementation the platform ships or plans to ship. Each entry lists runtime, capabilities, migration status, and the distinct value it adds.
A backend is "shipped" only if it lives under `packages/storage/<pkg>/` on the `genesis` branch. Anything else is referenced from `../suaveplan` (the main branch) or planned.
## Capability cheat-sheet

## Backends in detail
### `MemoryStorage` — `@suaveplan/storage`
In-process map-of-`Uint8Array` with TTL, OTel metrics, and zero-copy streaming. Used as the default for tests, ephemeral caches, and the in-browser fallback when no persistent backend is available. Capabilities: `partialReads`, `partialWrites`, `nativeStreams`, `atomicWrites`. Not content-addressable.
### `NamespacedStorage` — `@suaveplan/storage`
Wraps another `AbstractStorage` and prefixes every key. Capability mirror: whatever the inner backend can do, the namespaced view can do. This is the primary tool for tenant/partition/share scoping.
### `S3` — `@suaveplan/storage-s3`
AWS-SDK-backed S3-compatible backend (works with AWS S3, Garage, MinIO, etc.). `set` is a single-PUT atomic write; `setPartial` falls back to RMW because S3 multipart upload requires the upload to be planned in advance and is not byte-addressable in the way `setPartial` demands. Adds `createPresignedUrl(key, options)` for delegated browser uploads/downloads.
### `OpfsStorage` (planned — to be ported from `main` as `storage-browser-opfs`)
Origin Private File System inside the browser, accessed through the WASM `FileSystemSyncAccessHandle` API for true byte-addressable reads/writes. This is the right backend for in-browser drives that need real partial writes without round-tripping through a service worker. Capabilities expected: `partialReads`, `partialWrites`, `nativeStreams`. Not yet on genesis.
### `IndexedDbStorage` (planned — to be ported as `storage-browser`)
IndexedDB key→`Blob` store. No native partial reads/writes; both fall back to RMW. Right for older browsers, very large numbers of small keys, and structured indexes. Atomic per-transaction.
### `FileStorage` (planned — to be ported as `storage-file`)
Node `fs.promises` backed, one file per key. `setPartial` maps to `fs.write(fd, buf, 0, len, offset)`. Atomic full writes via `rename` of a temp file. The straight-line backend for any server environment.
### `SqliteStorage` (planned)
Built on `@suaveplan/db-sqlite` (already shipped). One blob column per key, with `incremental_blob_open` for byte-addressable reads/writes. The advantage over `FileStorage` is that you get a journal, transactions, atomic multi-key updates, and a single file to back up. Useful for embedded apps and the browser via `@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm`.
### `FatStorage` — FAT16/FAT32 via WASM
Two reference implementations live in `/home/ubuntu/web/tmp/`:
- **`fatfs-wasm`** (WASM over CHaN's FatFs, MIT). Production-quality. Supports the full surface — `read`, `write`, `lseek`, `unlink`, `rename`, `mkdir`, `stat`, dir iteration. Synchronous; whole disk is a `Uint8Array`. Recommended.
- **`fatfs`** (pure JS, Apache-2 + BSD-2). Async + native streams, but missing `unlink`/`rename` ("Coming Soon™"). Useful only if streaming is critical and you can ship the missing ops yourself.
A `FatStorage` adapter is a *thin* mapping:
```text
setPartial(key, offset, bytes) → disk.open(key, WRITE|OPEN_ALWAYS); file.lseek(offset); file.write(bytes); file.close();
read(key) → disk.readFile(key)
delete(key) → disk.unlink(key)
list(prefix) → disk.openDir('/'); iterate; filter
```
Why FAT? Two real use cases:
1. **Removable media simulation.** A FAT-formatted `Uint8Array` can be mounted by a real OS — useful for exporting drive snapshots, generating bootable disk images, or interoperating with embedded devices.
2. **Browser-side filesystems with a fixed-size budget.** A FAT image inside OPFS gives you POSIX-ish semantics with predictable allocation and trivial backup (it's one blob).
Capabilities: `partialReads`, `partialWrites`. `nativeStreams=true` only for the `fatfs` (Node) variant; the WASM variant emulates streams via chunked `read`/`write`. **Not** atomic — FAT has no journal.
### `ExfatStorage` — deferred
`/home/ubuntu/web/tmp/node-exfat` is a parser scaffold, not an FS. It can read VBR/AllocTable/Cluster but exposes no `read`/`write`/`mkdir`/`unlink`. Until a real exFAT JS binding lands, this backend is deferred. Genesis does not need it — `FatStorage` covers the FAT family for files <4 GiB; for large files inside an embedded FS, prefer `Ext4Storage` once it lands.
### `Ext4Storage` — deferred
`/home/ubuntu/web/tmp/lwext4` is a C library that supports the full ext2/3/4 surface (extents, sparse files, atomic rename, journal, hardlinks, symlinks, full POSIX permissions, case-sensitive paths). It needs:
1. A Node binding (node-gyp / FFI / N-API). ~2 weeks of work.
2. License clearance — `lwext4` is mixed BSD-3 + GPL-2 (the xattr and extents modules are GPL). Either replace the GPL files or accept GPL-2 for the resulting wasm/binding.
Once both are resolved, the `Ext4Storage` adapter looks like `FatStorage`: thin map of `setPartial → fseek+fwrite`. Capabilities will be `partialReads`, `partialWrites`, `atomicWrites` (journaled).
### `ContentAddressedStorage` — planned wrapper
Wraps any `AbstractStorage` and replaces the caller-supplied key with `BLAKE3(content)` (or `SHA-256(content)`, configurable). `set` becomes idempotent for identical content (cheap dedup), `delete(key)` becomes a refcount, and `capabilities.contentAddressable=true`. This is the substrate for drive-level deduplication and for content-addressed chunk stores in `network-plugin-content-delivery`.
### `GarageStorage` — test only
Garage is an S3-compatible distributed object store used as the integration-test target via `@suaveplan/testing-integration-garage-s3`. From the application's point of view it is just `S3`; the fixture spins up a Docker container, configures a layout, creates a bucket, and hands you `S3Options` you can drop into `createS3()`. This is how every drive integration test that needs a real network-attached object store gets one.
## Choosing a backend
The drive layer is backend-agnostic, but you almost always know which backend is right for a given deployment:
| Use case | Backend |
| --- | --- |
| Tests, ephemeral caches | `MemoryStorage` |
| Server-side production, single tenant | `FileStorage` or `SqliteStorage` |
| Server-side production, distributed | `S3` (any S3-compatible target) |
| Browser, persistent, fast random access | `OpfsStorage` |
| Browser, structured queries / older browsers | `IndexedDbStorage` |
| Removable-media export, fixed-size budget, FAT compat | `FatStorage` |
| Content-addressed chunk pool | wrap any backend in `ContentAddressedStorage` |
| Multi-tenant scoping | wrap any backend in `NamespacedStorage` |
You can compose: `NamespacedStorage(ContentAddressedStorage(S3(...)))` gives you per-tenant content-addressed S3 — the same construction used by `drive-plugin-chunks` for shared chunk pools.
## On-disk shape comparison — 100-file drive
When the drive layer above writes 100 files of ~50 MiB each, the actual files-on-disk count varies dramatically by backend:
| Backend | On-disk shape for 100 × 50 MiB drive | Layout chosen | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| `MemoryStorage` | 0 files (in-process map) | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `FileStorage` (Node fs) | **~202 files** (100 chunk-files + 100 manifests + 2 indexes) | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `OpfsStorage` (browser) | ~202 OPFS handles | sparse-file | `partialWrites=true` |
| `S3` | **~80,202 objects** (one per chunk) | chunk-keys | `partialWrites=false`; RMW prohibitive |
| `IndexedDbStorage` | ~80,202 IDB rows | chunk-keys | `partialWrites=false` |
| `SqliteStorage` | **1 file** (one `.sqlite` with ~80k blob rows) | sparse-file via `incremental_blob_open` | Single-file partition |
| `FatStorage` | **1 file** (FAT disk image, mountable by OS) | sparse-file inside FS-in-a-file | True partition file |
| `ContentAddressedStorage` (wrapper) | ~80k unique chunks (deduped across files) | chunk-keys | Hashes coalesce identical content |
So:
- `FileStorage` produces ~2 files per logical file (chunk-file + manifest).
- `S3` produces ~800 objects per logical file (one per chunk + manifest).
- `SqliteStorage` and `FatStorage` produce one file total — pick these for atomic backup, mountable export, or fixed-size budgets.
- The drive's `kind: 'inline'` storage hint lets sub-1-KiB files skip the chunks pipeline entirely, reducing the count further.
The drive layer never produces "plaintext files mirroring user paths" on any backend, because that would leak structural metadata to whoever holds the bytes (S3 admins, FAT disk inspectors, etc.). Path mirroring is by-design absent. If plaintext path-mirror semantics are needed, skip the drive layer and write to `FileStorage` directly — the drive's job is to abstract over storage.

- [`architecture.md`](./architecture.md) — the contract every backend implements.
- [`implementation-status.md`](./implementation-status.md) — port-from-main status.
- [`../drive/plugins.md`](../drive/plugins.md) — how the chunks plugin picks layouts based on backend capabilities.
- [`../drive/index-and-paths.md`](../drive/index-and-paths.md) — the same comparison from the drive side, plus how the two indexes work.
- [`../drive/dehydrated-drives.md`](../drive/dehydrated-drives.md) — server-signed templates and CDN fallback that consume the storage layer.

# Storage — Implementation Status
Source of truth: [`STATUS.md`](../../STATUS.md) (auto-generated from the suaveplan→genesis migration manifest) and the `packages/storage/` directory on the `genesis` branch.
## Shipped on `genesis`
| Package | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/storage` | `AbstractStorage`, `MemoryStorage`, `NamespacedStorage`, `StorageFactory`, four typed errors. Spec-conformance for `STORAGE-01..04`. |
| `@suaveplan/storage-s3` | `S3` backend. Multipart upload via `@suaveplan/retry`, presigned URLs, OTel. Integration-tested against Garage. |
## Pending — to be ported from `main` (`/mnt/s/web/suaveplan`)
| Package | Description (from main `README.md`) |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/storage-browser` | Browser storage (IndexedDB, localStorage). |
| `@suaveplan/storage-browser-opfs` | OPFS backend for `@suaveplan/storage`. |
| `@suaveplan/storage-file` | Node.js filesystem storage. |
These three are the **immediate** backlog: they unblock browser-side drives, server-side drives, and the OPFS drive that everyone wants. None of the three needs new design — port the existing implementation, retest against the canonical `STORAGE-01..04` conformance suite, and verify the capability flags are correct.
## Planned — new on `genesis`
| Package | Why it's new |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/storage-sqlite` | We have `@suaveplan/db-sqlite`; a thin `AbstractStorage` adapter on top is straight-line work and unlocks single-file backups for embedded/browser drives. |
| `@suaveplan/storage-fat` | Wraps `fatfs-wasm` (preferred) or `fatfs` (Node-only). Enables removable-media export and embedded FS use cases. |
| `@suaveplan/storage-content-addressed` | Wrapper backend that derives key from `BLAKE3(content)`. Substrate for drive-level dedup and the chunk pool that `network-plugin-content-delivery` consumes. |
## Deferred
| Package | Reason |
| --- | --- |
| `@suaveplan/storage-exfat` | `node-exfat` is parser-only. Wait for a real exFAT JS implementation. FAT covers most of the gap. |
| `@suaveplan/storage-ext4` | `lwext4` needs (a) a Node/WASM binding (~2 weeks) and (b) GPL-vs-BSD license clearance on the extents/xattr modules. Defer until there is a use case that FAT cannot serve. |
## Migration checklist (for each port)
1. Copy source structure from `/mnt/s/web/suaveplan/packages/storage-*/` into `packages/storage/<pkg>/` on `genesis`. Do not pull in old transitive deps that have been replaced (`@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/types`, `@suaveplan/streams` are already migrated; rewire imports).
2. Subclass `AbstractStorage` from `@suaveplan/storage`. Reuse the canonical `STORAGE-01..04` conformance test from `packages/storage/storage/src/abstract/abstract.spec-conformance.test.ts` — point it at the new backend.
3. Set `capabilities` honestly. If you can't do partial writes natively, leave `partialWrites=false` and let `defaultSetPartial` handle it.
4. Add OTel: `meter.createCounter("storage.ops")`, `meter.createHistogram("storage.op.duration_ms")`, `meter.createHistogram("storage.value.bytes")`. The base class wires this up; you only need to call it.
5. Add a `<pkg>` entry to `MANIFEST.md`, run `bun scripts/folder-reorg/generate-manifest.ts`.
6. Pre-publish gate: `bunx turbo lint typecheck test:coverage --filter=@suaveplan/<pkg>` green at 100% coverage.
## Cross-cutting work that unblocks storage
- **`enterprise-types-cross-cutting`** ([proposal](../../openspec/changes/enterprise-types-cross-cutting/proposal.md)) — adds the canonical `StorageLike`, `ChunkSource`, `ChunkRef` interfaces to `@suaveplan/types`. Already implemented; awaits archive. **Block clearing this unlocks downstream packages from re-declaring the same types locally.**
- **`storage-set-partial`** (already archived) — added `setPartial` to the abstract surface, including the `defaultSetPartial` RMW helper. This is what makes browser backends tolerable for chunk-based drives.

# Implementation Plan: Docker Compose Infrastructure
**Goal:** Create the `docker/` workspace at the repo root with three Docker Compose files, a Caddyfile, `.env.example`, a `package.json`, and a `README.md`. This is pure Docker/YAML infrastructure — no TypeScript.
**Architecture:** Three compose stacks share the same six services (SurrealDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Mailpit, Typesense, Garage S3) but serve different purposes: `dev` runs persistent volumes for local development; `test` runs ephemeral containers for CI integration tests; `testbed` extends the services with the showcase application and a Caddy reverse proxy for staging.
**Tech Stack:** Docker Compose v2, Caddy 2
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan.
---
## Chunk 1: Package setup + dev stack
- [ ] **Create the `docker/` directory at repo root**
Path: `/mnt/s/web/genesis/docker/`
- [ ] **Create `docker/package.json`**
Exact content:
```json
{
"name": "@suaveplan/docker",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev:up": "docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d",
"dev:down": "docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down",
"test:up": "docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d",
"test:down": "docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml down",
"testbed:up": "docker compose -f docker-compose.testbed.yml up --build -d",
"testbed:down": "docker compose -f docker-compose.testbed.yml down"
}
}
```
- [ ] **Create `docker/docker-compose.dev.yml`**
Full content — all six services with named volumes and healthchecks on SurrealDB and PostgreSQL:
```yaml
services:
surrealdb:
image: surrealdb/surrealdb:v3.0.4
command: start --auth --user root --pass root
ports:
- "8001:8000"
volumes:
- surrealdb-data:/data
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8000/health"]
interval: 5s
timeout: 3s
retries: 5
redis:

environment:
GARAGE_ALLOW_WORLD_READABLE_CONFIG: "true"
volumes:
surrealdb-data:
redis-data:
postgres-data:
typesense-data:
garage-data:
```
- [ ] **Create `docker/.env.example`**
Exact content:
```bash
# Set these to use your already-running local services instead of spinning containers.
# A fixture only enters passthrough mode when ALL its required vars are set and non-empty.
SURREALDB_URL=ws://localhost:8001
SURREALDB_USERNAME=root
SURREALDB_PASSWORD=root

GARAGE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
```
- [ ] **Verify dev compose YAML is valid**
```bash
docker compose -f /mnt/s/web/genesis/docker/docker-compose.dev.yml config
```
Expected: compose prints the resolved YAML with no errors.
- [ ] **Smoke-test the dev stack starts cleanly**
```bash
cd /mnt/s/web/genesis/docker && \
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d && \
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml ps
```
Expected: all six services listed with `Status` = `running` (or `healthy` once healthchecks pass). Tear down immediately after verification:
```bash
docker compose -f /mnt/s/web/genesis/docker/docker-compose.dev.yml down
```
---
## Chunk 2: Test stack + testbed stack + docs
- [ ] **Create `docker/docker-compose.test.yml`**
Identical structure to `dev.yml` with two mechanical differences:
1. Port range substituted to `7004–7011`.
2. All `volumes:` keys removed from every service definition.
3. The top-level `volumes:` section removed entirely.
Full content:
```yaml
services:
surrealdb:
image: surrealdb/surrealdb:v3.0.4
command: start --auth --user root --pass root
ports:

```
- [ ] **Create `docker/docker-compose.testbed.yml`**
Full content — adds `testbed-net` internal network, the testbed app container (built from `../apps/testbed/Dockerfile`), and Caddy on ports 3200/3201:

# @suaveplan/docker
Docker Compose infrastructure for the genesis monorepo. Three stacks cover local development, CI integration testing, and full staging with the testbed showcase app.
## Stacks
| File | Purpose | Ports |
|---|---|---|
| `docker-compose.dev.yml` | Persistent dev services | 8001–8006, 8900, 8902 |
| `docker-compose.test.yml` | Ephemeral CI services (no volumes) | 7004–7011 |
| `docker-compose.testbed.yml` | Full staging with testbed app + Caddy | 3200–3201 (+ internal) |
## Starting the dev stack
```bash
bun run --filter=@suaveplan/docker dev:up
```
Stops it:
```bash
bun run --filter=@suaveplan/docker dev:down
```
## Port table
### Dev stack (`docker-compose.dev.yml`) — persistent volumes
| Host port | Container port | Service |
|---|---|---|
| 8001 | 8000 | SurrealDB WebSocket + HTTP |
| 8002 | 6379 | Redis |
| 8003 | 5432 | PostgreSQL |
| 8004 | 1025 | Mailpit SMTP |
| 8005 | 8025 | Mailpit Web UI |
| 8006 | 8108 | Typesense |
| 8900 | 3900 | Garage S3 API |
| 8902 | 3902 | Garage S3 Admin |
### Test stack (`docker-compose.test.yml`) — ephemeral, no volumes
| Host port | Container port | Service |
|---|---|---|
| 7004 | 8000 | SurrealDB |
| 7005 | 6379 | Redis |
| 7006 | 5432 | PostgreSQL |
| 7007 | 1025 | Mailpit SMTP |
| 7008 | 8025 | Mailpit Web UI |
| 7009 | 8108 | Typesense |
| 7010 | 3900 | Garage S3 API |
| 7011 | 3902 | Garage S3 Admin |
### Testbed staging (`docker-compose.testbed.yml`)
| Host port | Service |
|---|---|
| 3200 | apps/testbed HTTP (via Caddy) |
| 3201 | apps/testbed HTTPS (via Caddy) |
All other services in the testbed stack communicate on the internal `testbed-net` Docker network by service name — no host ports are exposed for those services.
## Verifying services are healthy
After `dev:up`, check status:
```bash
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml ps
```
SurrealDB and PostgreSQL have healthchecks. Wait for their `Status` column to show `healthy`:
```bash
# SurrealDB
curl -f http://localhost:8001/health
# PostgreSQL
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml exec postgres pg_isready -U postgres
# Mailpit Web UI
curl -f http://localhost:8005/api/v1/messages
# Typesense
curl -f http://localhost:8006/health
# Garage S3 Admin
curl -f http://localhost:8902/health
```
## Env-bridge pattern (testcontainers integration)
When `@suaveplan/testing-integration` fixture packages start a container, they first check for environment variable overrides. If **all** required vars for a fixture are set and non-empty, the fixture enters passthrough mode: it constructs config directly from the env vars, skips container startup, and skips the healthcheck (the service is assumed healthy by virtue of the env vars being explicitly set).
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` at the repo root and fill in the values pointing at the dev stack:
```bash
cp docker/.env.example .env
```
The default values in `.env.example` are pre-wired to the dev stack ports. Once the dev stack is running and `.env` is populated, integration test runs will reuse your live containers rather than spinning new ones — saving 30–60 seconds per test suite.
A partial set of vars for a fixture (e.g. `GARAGE_S3_ENDPOINT` set but `GARAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID` missing) causes the fixture to fall through to container startup. All required vars must be set for passthrough mode to activate.
### Env-bridge variable reference
| Fixture | Required vars |
|---|---|
| `surrealdb` | `SURREALDB_URL`, `SURREALDB_USERNAME`, `SURREALDB_PASSWORD` |
| `redis` | `REDIS_URL` |
| `postgres` | `POSTGRES_URL` |
| `mailpit` | `MAILPIT_SMTP_URL`, `MAILPIT_API_URL` |
| `typesense` | `TYPESENSE_URL`, `TYPESENSE_API_KEY` |
| `garage-s3` | `GARAGE_S3_ENDPOINT`, `GARAGE_S3_ADMIN_ENDPOINT`, `GARAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `GARAGE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` |
Note: Garage S3 requires `ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` which are generated when the container first initialises. The dev stack container creates these on first run; retrieve them by running `garage key info test-key` inside the container, then persist them in `.env`.
## Running the testbed staging environment
The testbed stack builds `apps/testbed/` from its `Dockerfile` and serves it behind Caddy on port 3200.
Prerequisites: `apps/testbed/Dockerfile` must exist (created as part of sub-project 3).
Start:
```bash
bun run --filter=@suaveplan/docker testbed:up
```
Open `http://localhost:3200` in a browser. All six backing services are available to the testbed app by service name on the internal `testbed-net` Docker network.
Stop:
```bash
bun run --filter=@suaveplan/docker testbed:down
```
## Scripts
| Script | Command |
|---|---|
| `dev:up` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d` |
| `dev:down` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down` |
| `test:up` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d` |
| `test:down` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml down` |
| `testbed:up` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.testbed.yml up --build -d` |
| `testbed:down` | `docker compose -f docker-compose.testbed.yml down` |
````
- [ ] **Verify test compose YAML is valid**
```bash
docker compose -f /mnt/s/web/genesis/docker/docker-compose.test.yml config
```
Expected: compose prints resolved YAML with no errors.
- [ ] **Verify testbed compose YAML is valid**
```bash
docker compose -f /mnt/s/web/genesis/docker/docker-compose.testbed.yml config
```
Expected: compose prints resolved YAML with no errors. (The `testbed` service build context will warn that `../apps/testbed` does not exist yet — this is expected at this stage and is not a failure. The YAML itself must be structurally valid.)
- [ ] **Add `@suaveplan/docker` to Turborepo workspace**
Open `/mnt/s/web/genesis/turbo.json` (or `turbo.json` at repo root). Confirm `docker/` is picked up by the workspace glob. Bun workspace glob is set in `/mnt/s/web/genesis/package.json` under `"workspaces"`. Add `"docker"` to the array if not already covered by a wildcard.
Check the root `package.json` workspaces field:
```bash
grep -A 10 '"workspaces"' /mnt/s/web/genesis/package.json
```
If the wildcard already covers `docker/` (e.g. `"*"` or `["apps/*", "universal/**", "docker"]`), no change needed. If it does not, add `"docker"` to the array.
- [ ] **Final verification: bun install resolves the workspace**
```bash
cd /mnt/s/web/genesis && bun install
```
Then confirm the package is linked:
```bash
ls /mnt/s/web/genesis/node_modules/@suaveplan/docker 2>/dev/null || echo "symlink not found"
```
Expected: symlink present pointing to `../../docker`.

## Summary of files created
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| `docker/package.json` | Workspace package descriptor with six compose scripts |
| `docker/docker-compose.dev.yml` | Dev stack — persistent volumes, ports 8001–8006, 8900, 8902 |
| `docker/docker-compose.test.yml` | Test stack — ephemeral, ports 7004–7011 |
| `docker/docker-compose.testbed.yml` | Staging stack — testbed app + Caddy, ports 3200–3201 |
| `docker/Caddyfile` | Caddy reverse proxy config for testbed staging |
| `docker/.env.example` | Env-bridge variable reference with dev stack defaults |
| `docker/README.md` | Full documentation: ports, commands, env-bridge, testbed |
## Notes for implementers
- The Typesense image tag is `27.1` (not `27.1.0` — this matches the exact Docker Hub tag).
- Garage S3 container port for S3 API is `3900`; admin API is `3902`. The dev stack maps these to host ports `8900` and `8902` respectively.
- The testbed compose file does not expose service ports to the host — all inter-service communication goes through `testbed-net`. Only Caddy (3200/3201) is host-accessible.
- The `GARAGE_ALLOW_WORLD_READABLE_CONFIG: "true"` environment variable is required for Garage to start without a mounted config file.
- SurrealDB's `healthcheck` targets `http://localhost:8000/health` (HTTP, same port as WebSocket). This is correct — SurrealDB v3 exposes an HTTP health endpoint on the same port.
- Mailpit does not have a healthcheck defined in the compose files — it starts reliably without one. Integration fixture healthchecks poll `<apiUrl>/api/v1/messages` directly.
- The `TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR` env var is required for Typesense to know where to store data. In the test stack (no volumes), this dir lives in the ephemeral container filesystem and is discarded on `down`.

# Design: `@suaveplan/readline` + `@suaveplan/cli`
**Date:** 2026-04-20
**Branch:** genesis
**Status:** Approved — ready for implementation planning
---
## 1. Problem
The `@suaveplan/cli` package needs to land on genesis at enterprise quality. Its `prompt` module currently depends on `node:readline`, which ties the package to the Node runtime and blocks the "universal" guarantee. No standalone readline primitive exists in the monorepo.
---
## 2. Solution
Introduce `@suaveplan/readline` as a new `universal/platform` package, then port `@suaveplan/cli` as a full enterprise rewrite that depends on it. Both land in dependency order within the same session.
---
## 3. Package Locations
| Package | Path | FOLDERS.yml domain |
|---|---|---|
| `@suaveplan/readline` | `universal/platform/readline` | `platform` |
| `@suaveplan/cli` | `universal/platform/cli` | `platform` |
`FOLDERS.yml` gains `readline` in the `universal/platform` list. `cli` already appears there — only `readline` is added, bringing the total to 7 entries:
```yaml
platform: [ cli, electrobun, macos-contacts, opentelemetry,
profiler, readline, sitemap ] # 7
```
---
## 4. Dependency Chain
```text
@opentelemetry/api zod tslib
↓
@suaveplan/error @suaveplan/types
↓
@suaveplan/readline
↓
@suaveplan/cli
```
---
## 5. `@suaveplan/readline`
### 5.1 Architecture
Three feature modules share one internal byte scanner:
```text
src/
scanner/ ← internal byte engine (not exported)
reader/ ← public: readLines() AsyncGenerator API
interface/ ← public: createInterface() interactive prompt API
errors/ ← public: ReadlineError + stable code registry
```
`"sideEffects": false` must be set in `package.json`.
No root `"."` barrel export. Consumers import directly from subpaths to enable tree-shaking.
### 5.2 `scanner` (internal)
Ports the [maleck13/readline](https://github.com/maleck13/readline) byte scanner from JavaScript to TypeScript. Replaces `EventEmitter` with an internal bounded async push queue (backpressure-safe). Handles LF, CR, and CRLF line endings. Not exported via `package.json` subpaths.
```ts
interface ScannerOptions {
maxLineLength?: number; // default 4096
encoding?: BufferEncoding;
}
function createScanner(input: Readable, opts?: ScannerOptions): AsyncGenerator<string>
```
### 5.3 `reader` — `@suaveplan/readline/reader`
```ts
interface ReadLinesOptions {
maxLineLength?: number;
encoding?: BufferEncoding;
skipEmpty?: boolean;
signal?: AbortSignal;
}
async function* readLines(
input: Readable | ReadableStream | string,
options?: ReadLinesOptions
): AsyncGenerator<string, void, unknown>
```
Accepts a Node `Readable`, a WHATWG `ReadableStream`, or a file path string. Honours `AbortSignal` at each yield point.
### 5.4 `interface` — `@suaveplan/readline/interface`
```ts
interface ReadlineOptions {
input: Readable;
output?: Writable;
signal?: AbortSignal;
}
interface ReadlineInterface {
question(prompt: string, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<string>;
close(): void;
readonly closed: boolean;
[Symbol.asyncIterator](): AsyncIterator<string>;
}
function createInterface(options: ReadlineOptions): ReadlineInterface
```
The async iterator inherits the `AbortSignal` from `ReadlineOptions`. `ReadlineInterface` satisfies `@suaveplan/cli`'s existing `InputReader` type (`{ question, close }`) by structural typing — no adapter required.
`createInterface()` emits an OTel span covering the interface lifetime (start on creation, end on `close()`, error status on abort).
### 5.5 Error codes
```text
READLINE.SCANNER.LINE_TOO_LONG
READLINE.SCANNER.STREAM_ERROR
READLINE.INTERFACE.CLOSED
READLINE.INTERFACE.ABORTED
READLINE.READER.STREAM_ERROR
```
### 5.6 Subpath exports
```json
{
"./reader/reader": { "import": { "types": "...", "default": "..." } },
"./interface/interface": { "import": { "types": "...", "default": "..." } },
"./errors/errors": { "import": { "types": "...", "default": "..." } }
}
```
`scanner` is internal — no subpath export.
### 5.7 Key `package.json` fields

## 6. `@suaveplan/cli`
### 6.1 Architecture
Full enterprise rewrite of `suaveplan/packages/universal/cli`. Preserves the complete public API surface. Adds structured errors, Zod schemas, OTel instrumentation, AbortSignal support, and replaces `node:readline` with `@suaveplan/readline/interface`.
```text
src/
app/ command/ parser/ style/
errors/ output/ spinner/ progress/ prompt/
```
`"sideEffects": false` must be set in `package.json`.
### 6.2 `errors`
```ts
class CliError extends SuaveplanError { ... }
```
Stable codes:
```text
CLI.PARSE.UNKNOWN_OPTION
CLI.PARSE.MISSING_VALUE
CLI.PARSE.INVALID_VALUE
CLI.PARSE.MISSING_ARGUMENT
CLI.PARSE.MISSING_REQUIRED_OPTION
CLI.COMMAND.NO_ACTION
CLI.COMMAND.UNKNOWN_SUBCOMMAND
CLI.APP.RUN_FAILED
CLI.APP.ABORTED
```
### 6.3 `parser`
Preserved API. Throws `CliError` (CLI.PARSE.*) instead of bare `Error`. Adds `ParserConfigSchema` and `ParsedArgsSchema` Zod exports.
```ts
function parseArgs(argv: string[], config?: ParserConfig): ParsedArgs
function parseOptionFlags(flags, description?, defaultValue?): { name, config }
function parseArgumentSpec(spec, description?): ArgumentConfig
```
### 6.4 `command`
Preserved fluent API. `execute()` gains an OTel span. Throws `CliError` on missing action and unknown subcommand.
```ts
class Command {
description / option / argument / action / command / alias / hidden / example
execute(argv: string[], parentName?: string): Promise<void>
helpText(parentName?: string): string
getParserConfig(): ParserConfig
}
```
### 6.5 `app`
Preserved API. `run()` gains an OTel span and an optional `AbortSignal`. Throws `CliError(CLI.APP.ABORTED)` when the signal fires.
```ts
class App {
run(argv?: string[], options?: { signal?: AbortSignal }): Promise<void>
helpText(): string
description / option / argument / command / action / example
}
function cli(name: string, version?: string): App
```
Zod export: `AppConfigSchema`.
### 6.6 `style`, `output/format`, `output/table`
API unchanged. Zod schemas added for option types. Bare `Error` throws replaced with `CliError`.
`output/format` and `output/table` follow the standard five-file co-located layout:
```text
src/output/
format/
format.ts format.types.ts format.test.ts format.md index.ts
table/
table.ts table.types.ts table.test.ts table.md index.ts
```
### 6.7 `spinner` + `progress`
`AbortSignal` added to options. Stream remains injectable (`WritableStreamLike`).
```ts
interface SpinnerOptions { text?, frames?, interval?, stream?, signal?: AbortSignal }
interface ProgressOptions { total, width?, stream?, signal?: AbortSignal }
```
### 6.8 `prompt`
`createDefaultReader()` uses `createInterface()` from `@suaveplan/readline/interface`. All five prompt functions (`text`, `password`, `confirm`, `select`, `multiselect`) gain an optional `signal?: AbortSignal`. `node:readline` is absent from the dependency graph.
### 6.9 Subpath exports
```json
{
".": "barrel",
"./app/app": "...",
"./command/command": "...",
"./parser/parser": "...",
"./style/style": "...",
"./output/format/format": "...",
"./output/table/table": "...",
"./spinner/spinner": "...",
"./progress/progress": "...",
"./prompt/prompt": "...",
"./errors/errors": "..."
}
```
### 6.10 Key `package.json` fields
```json
{
"sideEffects": false,
"dependencies": {
"@suaveplan/readline": "workspace:^",
"@suaveplan/error": "workspace:^",
"@suaveplan/types": "workspace:^",
"@opentelemetry/api": "catalog:observability",
"zod": "catalog:forms",
"tslib": "catalog:build"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@suaveplan/testing": "workspace:^",
"@vitest/coverage-istanbul": "catalog:testing",
"fast-check": "catalog:testing",
"mitata": "catalog:testing",
"vitest": "catalog:testing"
}
}
```
---
## 7. Testing Strategy
### Unit tests (co-located `.test.ts`)
| Module | Key scenarios |
|---|---|
| `scanner` | LF / CR / CRLF, max-line overflow, empty input, mid-stream abort |
| `reader` | file path, WHATWG `ReadableStream`, `AbortSignal` mid-iteration |
| `interface` | real `Readable`/`Writable` pair, question/close lifecycle, `closed` guard, async iterator abort via inherited signal, OTel span created / ended on close / error status on abort |
| `parser` | all option types, `--no-*`, `--`, variadic, unknown options |
| `command` | subcommand routing, aliases, help text, error paths |
| `spinner` / `progress` | injectable stream (no TTY), AbortSignal cancellation |
| `prompt` | injected mock `InputReader`, validation retries, all five prompt types |
### Property-based tests (fast-check)
- **scanner/parser round-trip** — split any string into lines, scan bytes, reassemble → original string
- **parser safety** — `parseArgs(argv, { allowUnknown: true })` never throws for any `argv`
- **style round-trip** — `stripAnsi(style.bold.red(s)) === s` for all strings `s`
- **table invariant** — column widths always ≥ max cell content width
### Coverage gate
100% statement + branch + function + line (istanbul) for both packages.
---
## 8. Benchmarks
### `@suaveplan/readline` (`src/__benchmarks__/`)
| Benchmark | Description |
|---|---|
| `scanner-throughput` | 1 MB and 10 MB streams, lines/sec |
| `reader-file` | `readLines()` over a temp file vs `node:readline` baseline |
### `@suaveplan/cli` (`src/__benchmarks__/`)
| Benchmark | Description |
|---|---|
| `parser-throughput` | 10 000 `parseArgs()` calls with a 20-flag config |
| `app-run` | Full `App.run()` dispatch cycle |
Baselines published in each package's `README.md`. A >10% regression fails CI. Each package's `package.json` must include a `"bench"` script and the turbo pipeline must include a `bench` task.
---
## 9. OpenSpec Changes
```text
openspec/changes/
enterprise-readline/
proposal.md
tasks.md
specs/readline/spec.md
enterprise-cli/
proposal.md
tasks.md
specs/cli/spec.md
```
Both archive on ship to `openspec/archive/2026-04-20-enterprise-readline/` and `openspec/archive/2026-04-20-enterprise-cli/`.
---
## 10. CLAUDE.md Additions
Add two entries to the genesis package listing under `platform`:
- **readline** — terminal I/O primitive: AsyncGenerator line reader (`readLines`), interactive prompt interface (`createInterface`), byte scanner engine. Depends on `@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/types`, `@opentelemetry/api`, `zod`.
- **cli** — CLI toolkit: argument parser, command router, ANSI styling, output formatting, table renderer, spinner, progress bar, interactive prompts. Depends on `@suaveplan/readline`, `@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/types`, `@opentelemetry/api`, `zod`.
---
## 11. Acceptance Criteria

# Design: `@suaveplan/utils` Migration — genesis
**Date:** 2026-04-20
**Branch:** genesis
**Source:** `@suaveplan/utils` from main (`/mnt/s/web/suaveplan/packages/universal/utils`)
**Reference:** `/mnt/s/web/suaveplan/enterprise/utils.md`
---
## Context
The old `@suaveplan/utils` package is a 14-module grab-bag imported by 109 reverse-consumer workspaces. On genesis, we rewrite it fresh at enterprise quality and split it into four packages, each with a clear, single responsibility. Nothing is ported mechanically — every module is rewritten to meet the genesis enterprise checklist.
---
## Decision: Split into 4 packages
| Package | Domain path | Purpose |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `@suaveplan/utils` | `universal/data/utils` | Zero-external-dep odds-and-sods utilities |
| `@suaveplan/json` | `universal/data/json` | Prototype-pollution-safe JSON parse/stringify |
| `@suaveplan/bytes` | `universal/primitives/bytes` | Byte encoding / format conversion |
| `@suaveplan/locale-data` | `universal/i18n/locale-data` | ISO country + language static data |
**Scrapped:** `string/parseTemplate` only — duplicate of `@suaveplan/templates` which already handles `{{var}}` interpolation. `string/parseTextWithLinks` is distinct (link annotation, not template interpolation) and is retained in `@suaveplan/utils`.
---
## Package 1: `@suaveplan/utils`
**Principle:** Zero external deps beyond the genesis standard (`zod`, `@opentelemetry/api`, `@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/types`). Odds-and-sods utilities that are not worth a dedicated package.
### Modules
| Module | Key exports |
|--------|-------------|
| `debug` | `debug.log/warn/error` — dedup-buffered console logger (suppresses repeated messages within a rolling 10-item buffer) |
| `object` | `deepMerge`, `deepMergeAll`, `deepClone`, `pick`, `omit`, `flattenObject`, `getNestedValue`, `setNestedValue`, `hasPath`, `isEmpty`, `isObject`, `isPlainObject`, `isObjectOrArray`, `keepKeys`, `removeKeys` |
| `platform` | `getPlatform`, `getMemoryUsage`, `getCpuUsage`, `isNode`, `isBrowser`, `isBun` — injectable platform adapter |
| `number` | `packFloat16/32/64`, `unpackFloat16/32/64`, `isInFloat16/32/64Range`, `min16/32/64`, `max16/32/64` |
| `random` | `pseudoRandom<T>(arr, index, seed?)` — seeded deterministic array element selection |
| `email` | `normalizeEmail` — Gmail dots/plus, Yahoo dashes, Microsoft plus, generic normalization |
| `sound` | `parseSoundVariations`, `getSoundKey`, `convertSprites` — audio sprite key parsing + variation selection |
| `string` | `generateId`, `parseTextWithLinks` |
| `validate` | `isHex` |
| `validation` | `validateSize`, `formatSize`, `parseSize`, `truncateToSize`, `isWithinSizeLimit`, `getDataSize`, `MessageSizeError`, `SIZE_LIMITS`, `DEFAULT_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE` |
### Dependencies
```text
@suaveplan/error workspace:^
@suaveplan/types workspace:^
zod catalog:zod
@opentelemetry/api catalog:otel-api
```
---
## Package 2: `@suaveplan/json`
**Principle:** Safe, hardened JSON operations. No external deps.
### Modules
| Module | Key exports |
|--------|-------------|
| `safe-json` | `safeParse`, `safeStringify`, `tryParse`, `isValidJSON`, `getStringifySize`, `SafeJSONError` |
### Features
- Prototype pollution guard: rejects `__proto__`, `constructor`, `prototype` keys by default (configurable)
- Circular reference detection with structured `SafeJSONError`
- `tryParse` returns `undefined` instead of throwing
- `getStringifySize` measures serialised byte length without full allocation
- All errors extend `@suaveplan/error` with stable codes (`JSON.PARSE_FAILED`, `JSON.CIRCULAR`, `JSON.PROTOTYPE_POLLUTION`)
### Dependencies
```text
@suaveplan/error workspace:^
@suaveplan/types workspace:^
zod catalog:zod
@opentelemetry/api catalog:otel-api
```
---
## Package 3: `@suaveplan/bytes`
**Principle:** Single canonical home for byte encoding and format conversion in the monorepo. `@suaveplan/crypto-utils` currently duplicates some of this; a follow-up task updates `crypto-utils` to consume `@suaveplan/bytes` instead.
### Modules
| Module | Key exports |
|--------|-------------|
| `encoding` | `bytesToHex`, `hexToBytes`, `bytesToBase64`, `base64ToBytes`, `bytesToUtf8`, `utf8ToBytes` |
| `uint8` | `concatUint8Arrays`, `sliceUint8Array`, `uint8ArraysEqual`, `inputToUint8Array`, `detectInputFormat`, `validateInputTypeFormat`, `formatOutput`, `convertDataFormat` |
| `uuid` | `uint8ArrayToUuid`, `uuidToUint8Array`, `generateUuid` — uses `crypto.randomUUID()` natively; no `uuid` npm package needed |
### Features
- Format auto-detection (`detectInputFormat`: hex, base64, utf8, Uint8Array)
- Round-trip guarantees tested via fast-check property tests
- All errors extend `@suaveplan/error` with stable codes (`BYTES.INVALID_FORMAT`, `BYTES.ENCODE_FAILED`, etc.)
### Dependencies
```text
@suaveplan/error workspace:^
@suaveplan/types workspace:^
zod catalog:zod
@opentelemetry/api catalog:otel-api
```
### Follow-up
After `@suaveplan/bytes` is published, open an OpenSpec change to update `@suaveplan/crypto-utils` to depend on `@suaveplan/bytes` and remove the duplicate hex/base64/utf8/bytes/concat encoding utilities. **`base58` stays in `crypto-utils`** — it is blockchain/crypto-specific (Bitcoin address encoding) and not a general-purpose byte encoding concern; moving it to `bytes` would introduce a crypto-domain concept into a general primitive.
---
## Package 4: `@suaveplan/locale-data`
**Principle:** Static ISO reference data. Too large and domain-specific to be an odds-and-sods utility. Feeds `@suaveplan/i18n`.
### Modules
| Module | Key exports |
|--------|-------------|
| `countries` | `CountryItem` type, per-country named exports (`AD`, `AE`, ...), `getCountry(code)`, `getAllCountries()`, `getCountriesByContinent(continent)`, `getCountriesByCurrency(currency)` |
| `languages` | `LanguageItem` type, `getLanguages()`, `getLanguage(code)`, `getRtlLanguages()`, `isRtlLanguage(code)` |
### Features
- All data typed with Zod schemas
- Lookup helpers with structured errors for unknown codes
- Zero runtime deps — data is bundled at build time, not fetched
### Dependencies
```text
@suaveplan/error workspace:^
@suaveplan/types workspace:^
zod catalog:zod
@opentelemetry/api catalog:otel-api
```
---
## Build sequence
All four packages share the same dependency set (genesis standard), so they can land in parallel or any order. Recommended sequence:
1. `@suaveplan/bytes` — unblocks `crypto-utils` refactor
2. `@suaveplan/json` — self-contained
3. `@suaveplan/locale-data` — self-contained; enables `i18n` to consume it
4. `@suaveplan/utils` — self-contained; the catch-all
---
## Enterprise checklist (applies to all four)
- [ ] 100% statement + branch + function + line coverage (Istanbul)
- [ ] 100% docs coverage (`bun run docs:check`)
- [ ] Every `.ts` implementation file has a sibling `.md` (≥200 words, simple + advanced examples, API reference)
- [ ] All public types have Zod schemas in sibling `*.schemas.ts`
- [ ] All thrown errors extend `@suaveplan/error` with stable `PACKAGE.DOMAIN.REASON` codes
- [ ] Injectable `clock`, `rng`, `signal` where applicable
- [ ] `AbortSignal` on every iterative helper
- [ ] OTel counters + histograms + spans on public entrypoints
- [ ] fast-check property tests for pure functions
- [ ] mitata benchmarks with CI regression gate
- [ ] `sideEffects: false`; one subpath export per feature module
- [ ] `@vitest/coverage-istanbul` in `devDependencies`
- [ ] OpenSpec change created, verified, archived
