metadata:
  type: project
---

The daemon-lifecycle service-aware start/stop (REQ-DAEMON-6/7/8) passed local + manual-rig verification but its FIRST CI run failed `contract_e2e::cold_api_call_autostarts_daemon` on BOTH self-hosted runners. Two distinct regressions — both invisible to a single-home, non-elevated dev box:

1. **Linux — service detection read GLOBAL user config, not the per-invocation home.** `ensure_running` detected the runner's REAL installed `~/.config/systemd/user/spt-daemon.service` (file presence) and shelled to `systemctl --user start` — which serves the DEFAULT home, not the test's `SPT_HOME` override, and fails outright in a bus-less context (`Failed to connect to bus: No medium found`). **Fix:** gate Linux `detected()` on `SPT_HOME` being UNSET — the unit serves only the home it was installed for; a SPT_HOME-overridden invocation spawns a manual daemon. Plus a fallback: if `svc.start()` errors, fall back to `spawn_detached` (autostart must never hard-fail when a spawn would work).

2. **Windows — the `daemon run` elevated-refuse fired on `is_elevated()` alone.** The hfenduleam runner is elevated with NO unelevated identity (`ELEVATED_DAEMON: no unelevated identity to drop to`) — that is the legitimate KH-5.7 "serve elevated, consistent universe" path, not the vanishing one. The blanket refuse broke autostart there. **Fix:** refuse only when a real de-elevation target exists (`deelevate::has_deelevation_target`, mirrors `spawn_deelevated`'s Ok(Some) gate without spawning); the pure decision is `run_refused_when_vanishing(is_windows, would_vanish)`, not `..._when_elevated`.

**General lesson:** any "detect the installed service / global OS state" logic is BLIND on a single-home, non-elevated, has-session-bus dev box. The self-hosted CI runners (elevated, headless, real service installed) are the real test surface — push to a branch and let CI run BEFORE tagging a release. v0.3.0 was tagged prematurely, CI caught it, the tag was deleted + retagged at the fix. See [[kitsubito-linux-rig]] (a manual rig run with a session bus also missed #1 — it had a bus and default home). Fix shipped in v0.3.0 (commit 7f63373).

**Merge + release cut done** (through my authority). v0.3.0 draft is built and verified — the rest is your signing step.

**What happened:**
- Tagged v0.3.0 → CI **caught 2 real regressions** in the daemon-lifecycle code that my local + manual-rig checks missed (both only surface on the self-hosted runners): Linux service detection routed an isolated-home test to the real `systemctl` (bus-less → fail); Windows elevated-refuse fired on a uniformly-elevated runner (the legit serve path).
- Fixed both (`7f63373`): Linux service routing gated on default home (`SPT_HOME` unset) + start-failure fallback; Windows refuse gated on `has_deelevation_target` (would-vanish), not `is_elevated`.
- Pushed fix → **CI green on both runners** → deleted the premature tag → FF main → retagged at the fix → fresh release built clean.

**Final state (all green):**
- `main` = `7f63373`, pushed · `v0.3.0` tag at fix tip
- release build ✓ (both runners) · docs-publish ✓ · main CI ✓
- **Draft `spt v0.3.0`** on spt-releases: `spt-x86_64-linux`, `spt-x86_64-windows.exe`, `SHA256SUMS`, `manifest.schema.json`, `mock-adapter.zip`

**Your manual step — sign + publish** (keys never enter CI; flips draft→public):
```sh
SPT_RELEASE_SEED_CMD='<your pw-manager read cmd>' \
  cargo run -p xtask -- release-publish \
    --tag v0.3.0 --key-id rel-primary-2026 --version 4
```
`--version 4` = next monotonic counter (v0.2.0 was 3). It verifies binaries vs SHA256SUMS, signs each, uploads the `*.release.json` metadata, and publishes.

Lesson saved to memory: detect-global-OS-state logic is blind on a single-home/non-elevated dev box → push→CI before tagging. Communing the arc:

Delta: v0.3.0 MERGED to main + release cut to DRAFT (was "arcs complete, awaiting user merge"). One real CI-caught regression cycle along the way — carry the lesson.

**Release v0.3.0 shipped to draft (all CI green):**
- main = `7f63373` (pushed), v0.3.0 tag at that tip. Draft `spt v0.3.0` on spt-releases with linux+windows binaries, SHA256SUMS, manifest.schema.json, mock-adapter.zip. docs-publish ✓.

**The regression cycle (important lesson — [[daemon-service-detection-gotcha]]):** I tagged v0.3.0 at `35d1672` BEFORE letting CI run on the self-hosted runners. CI failed `contract_e2e::cold_api_call_autostarts_daemon` on BOTH runners — two regressions my local + manual-rig checks were blind to:
1. Linux: `ensure_running` detected the runner's REAL installed systemd unit (global config, not per-invocation SPT_HOME) → shelled to `systemctl --user` which serves the DEFAULT home, not the test's override, and dies bus-less. Fix: gate Linux `detected()` on SPT_HOME-unset + a spawn_detached fallback on svc.start() error.
2. Windows: the elevated-`run`-refuse fired on `is_elevated()` alone → broke the hfenduleam runner (elevated, NO unelevated identity = the legit KH-5.7 serve-elevated path). Fix: refuse only when `deelevate::has_deelevation_target()` (would-vanish); renamed `run_refused_when_elevated`→`run_refused_when_vanishing`.

Recovery: fixed (`7f63373`), pushed to dev-freeform, CI GREEN both runners, THEN deleted the premature tag, FF main, retagged. The hard rule now: **detect-global-OS-state logic is blind on a single-home non-elevated dev box → push→CI BEFORE tagging a release.** Even the kitsubito manual rig run missed #1 (it had a session bus + default home).

New user-facing surface: **`spt subnet revoke`** (with `--force-rotate-seed`), plus the daemon verbs (covered) and the full-mesh cutover (breaking `!`). Check the D6 breaking-change user impact + whether `prune` changed:

D6 breaking impact + prune change


=== D6 breaking commit body ===

    feat(mesh)!: fan-out widen + delete TrustStore → mesh on (REQ-MESH-3, REQ-MESH-5) — Mesh-D6

    The single mesh-ON commit. The registry push target widens from the
    directly-paired set to ALL roster members (a wider DIRECT fan-out, never a
    relay — rows stay own-authored), and the pairwise TrustStore authorization
    path is deleted with no migration (hard cutover, user decision 2026-06-08).

    - peerloop THE WIDEN: push target = roster.members_in via the pure
      push_targets helper; PumpPaths.trust dropped (REQ-MESH-3 impl).
    - Delete spt-store::trust (TrustStore/peers.json) + perch::trust_file + the
      lib mod; keep trust_dir (still homes access/grants). Zero TrustStore /
      is_trusted / peers.json references remain in non-comment code.
    - Pairing wire (run_responder/run_initiator) no longer writes trust — the
      ceremony confirms identity + transfers seed/roster; pairhost records
      membership into the roster only.
    - propagate serve_update gate trust → roster (RosterStore::is_member_any);
      dispatch caller repointed. New roster::is_member_any spans subnets +
      honors tombstones.
    - Warn-on-change DEMOTED to a non-blocking machine_id-anchored RekeyNotice at
      the repair_evict_superseded event (REQ-MESH-5); absent machine_id ⇒ no
      false notice. repair_evict_superseded drops its trust arg (roster-only).
    - CLI status/list/prune/leave + xtask debug-converge repointed to the roster;
      prune is now a local tombstone (propagating revoke is Mesh-D7).
    - Un-ignore the D0 staggered + star harness (mesh.rs): A↔C converge with B
      offline, all-online star with B never relaying, each carrying the
      no-third-party-row regression (every applied row's node == its true owner).
    - Activate REQ-MESH-3 [impl,unit,int] + complete REQ-MESH-5 [impl,unit];
      retire REQ-PAIR-2 (TOFU trust store), superseded by REQ-MESH-2 + REQ-MESH-5.

    KNOWN-HAZARDS 4.10 / 7.5 preserved verbatim (origin = handshake author).
    Green: workspace tests, clippy -D warnings, traceable-reqs check, and
    --no-default-features all exit 0.

D6 is the full-mesh cutover — **breaking, no migration** (TrustStore/peers.json deleted; trust now = subnet membership). Since the roster only landed *after* v0.2.0, upgrading users must re-pair. Plus D7 added **`spt subnet revoke`**. The published release notes were extracted at build time, so I need to fix both CHANGELOG.md *and* the live release body.

16	- **`spt daemon start`** — bring the daemon up in the background, idempotently. When `spt` is installed as a service (the Linux per-user service, or the Windows logon task), `start` and `stop` now drive *that* service instead of a stray hand-started daemon — so the two never fight each other for the connection. `spt daemon start` on an already-running daemon just says so and does nothing.
17
18	### Changed
19
20	- **`spt daemon stop` is service-aware.** If a managed service owns the daemon, `stop` asks the service manager to stop it cleanly (so it doesn't immediately restart), instead of signalling the process directly. A hand-started daemon still stops the same way as before.
21	- **`spt daemon run` is now strictly foreground on every platform** — it stays attached to your terminal until you stop it (the form the installed service uses). For a background daemon, use `spt daemon start`. On Windows, running `daemon run` from an elevated shell now refuses with a hint rather than silently disappearing into the background.
22	- **`spt daemon status` shows what manages the daemon** — whether a service owns it (and is active) or it was started by hand.
23
24	### Performance
25
26	- **`spt subnet status --nodes` is much faster when several nodes are offline.** It now checks all the quiet nodes at once, so the view comes back in about the time of a single check instead of stacking the wait up node by node.

30	- **A peer's name no longer disappears when it goes offline.** Once you've seen another node's hostname in `spt subnet status --nodes`, it now stays shown even after that node goes offline — previously the name reverted to a bare key after the node went quiet for a while.

38	  - `spt endpoint list --local` shows just this machine's endpoints.
39	  - `spt endpoint list --subnet <name>` filters to one subnet.
40	  - `spt endpoint list --detail` adds each endpoint's description blurb.
41	- **`spt endpoint description [set]`** — read or write an endpoint's description blurb (bare command shows it, `set` writes it).
42	- **`spt endpoint access`** — per-endpoint access control (`allow` / `revoke` / `open` / `list`), scoped to the individual endpoint.
43	- **`spt daemon` command group:**
44	  - `spt daemon status` (or bare `spt daemon`) — a node status view: whether the daemon is running, its background-sync health, your subnets, and your local endpoints.

Rewrite `[0.3.0]` — lead with the breaking full-mesh change, add `subnet revoke`:

The name is only forgotten when you explicitly `spt subnet prune` that node.

## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-08

### Added

- **`spt subnet revoke <node>…`** — remove one or more machines from a subnet across the **whole fleet**, not just locally. It tells every member to drop the node within moments, then rotates the subnet's shared secret so the removed machine is locked out and must re-pair to come back. By default the rotation is batched at the end of a one-hour window — several revokes in that window share a single rotation, and any member that was briefly offline heals automatically across it. Pass `--force-rotate-seed` to rotate the secret immediately (the compromised-machine path; a member that's offline at that moment will have to re-pair rather than auto-heal). Name each target by hostname, key prefix, or full key. Requires running elevated. This is the fleet-wide counterpart to `spt subnet prune`, which only cleans a dead node off the local machine.

### Changed

- **Subnets are now a full mesh.** *(Breaking — see the upgrade note.)* Every machine in a subnet now connects directly to, and shows, **every other member** in `spt subnet status --nodes` — previously you mainly saw the machines you had paired with directly. Membership in the subnet is now what grants trust, replacing the separate per-peer trust list that earlier versions kept.
  - **Upgrading from 0.2.0:** there is no automatic migration of the old trust list, so after updating, **re-pair your machines into their subnets** (`spt subnet join`, or create + invite from a seed holder) to rebuild membership. Until a machine is re-paired, it won't be reachable in its subnets.
- **`spt daemon stop` is service-aware.** If a managed service owns the daemon, `stop` asks the service manager to stop it cleanly (so it doesn't immediately restart), instead of signalling the process directly. A hand-started daemon still stops the same way as before.
- **`spt daemon run` is now strictly foreground on every platform** — it stays attached to your terminal until you stop it (the form the installed service uses).

The shipped [0.3.0] section only covered the last two pieces (daemon lifecycle
+ --nodes concurrency). Add the rest of the v0.2.0→v0.3.0 user-facing surface:
the full-mesh cutover (breaking: trust now = subnet membership, re-pair on
upgrade) and `spt subnet revoke` (fleet-wide removal + seed rotation).

### Added

- **`spt subnet revoke <node>…`** — remove one or more machines from a subnet across the **whole fleet**, not just locally. It tells every member to drop the node within moments, then rotates the subnet's shared secret so the removed machine is locked out and must re-pair to come back. By default the rotation is batched at the end of a one-hour window — several revokes in that window share a single rotation, and any member that was briefly offline heals automatically across it. Pass `--force-rotate-seed` to rotate the secret immediately (the compromised-machine path; a member that's offline at that moment will have to re-pair rather than auto-heal). Name each target by hostname, key prefix, or full key. Requires running elevated. This is the fleet-wide counterpart to `spt subnet prune`, which only cleans a dead node off the local machine.
- **`spt daemon start`** — bring the daemon up in the background, idempotently. When `spt` is installed as a service (the Linux per-user service, or the Windows logon task), `start` and `stop` now drive *that* service instead of a stray hand-started daemon — so the two never fight each other for the connection. `spt daemon start` on an already-running daemon just says so and does nothing.

Done. Changelog corrected + the live release body updated to match.

**v0.3.0 notes now cover the full v0.2.0→v0.3.0 surface** (was only the last two pieces):

**Added**
- `spt subnet revoke <node>…` — fleet-wide removal + seed rotation (1h coalescing window / `--force-rotate-seed`)
- `spt daemon start` (background, service-aware)

**Changed**
- **Subnets are now a full mesh** *(breaking)* — every member connects to/sees every member; trust = subnet membership. **Upgrade note: re-pair after updating from 0.2.0** (no auto-migration of the old trust list)
- daemon stop/run/status service-aware + foreground-only

**Performance** — concurrent `subnet status --nodes`
**Fixed** — peer name survives offline

- CHANGELOG.md committed + pushed (`a81cf31`, main + dev-freeform)
- Live release body on spt-releases edited via `gh release edit` + verified

The breaking full-mesh re-pair note is the key add — users upgrading from 0.2.0 need it.


how does the daemon self-update work? i only see `spt update apply`, which appears to only work for an update spt itself has staged. how does that come about?

Good question — `apply` is the last step; the staging happens via P2P peer propagation. Let me trace the actual mechanism.

### spt update apply

```text
Apply the staged, verified self-update now

Usage: spt update apply

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help
```

## spt api

```text
Harness-contract inbound surface (hook entry points).

The entry points a harness's hooks fire to keep spt-core's on-disk state in sync.

Usage: spt api [OPTIONS] --adapter <ADAPTER> <COMMAND>

Commands:
  seed            Harness-hosted startup: record an ephemeral seed keyed by parent pid
  listen          Consume a seed and hold the perch + relay loop (blocks)
  bind            Post-spawn bind of a session to its perch
  bind-shell      Shell-binary bind: the type=Shell flavor of `bind`. Resolves the instance **by
                  link token alone** (the spawn template carries only `{link_token}` — "owner from
                  the link") and flips it online. The credential IS the auth: no token, no bind
  state           Set activity state busy|idle (also arms the echo-gate sentinel)
  echo-gate       Manage the echo-gate sentinel directly
  poll            Drain delivered messages (hook channel). With `--link` this is the shell-flavored
                  relay drain: the link token is the auth, and the drained rows are the shell's
                  MAC-stamped command/text/file frames
  worker-start    Create a nested worker perch under a parent
  worker-stop     Tear down a worker perch
  worker-poll     Drain a worker perch's messages
  boundary        Rebind the perch to a new session_id, preserving identity (a context clear/compact
                  boundary)
  session-end     Soft teardown (spool/history preserved); `--erase` hard-wipes
  presence        Report user/agent presence at this endpoint
  driven-by       Report which node (if any) is remote-driving this endpoint
  history-log     Append normalized history (body on stdin) to the native history store
  emit            Emit a Shell sensory payload to the owner's **live** session. REST-only by
                  definition: never spooled, dropped with a diagnostic when the owner isn't live.
                  The link token is the auth
  capability      Print the adapter's declared capability (`hostable_types`)
  shutdown        Graceful live-agent signoff: run the final context save BEFORE teardown, then
                  soft-stop. The `spt shutdown` lifecycle path
  owner-shutdown  A shell suspends its linked owner directly, bypassing agent comms — gated by the
                  manifest `can_shutdown` pre-consent grant, fail-closed. The firing shell cascades
                  offline with its siblings, by design
  help            Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
      --adapter <ADAPTER>
          adapter_name — the calling harness adapter. Required on every `api` call

      --manifest <MANIFEST>
          Path to the adapter's runtime manifest (when the command needs it)

  -h, --help


`apply` is just the consent ack. The staging pipeline lives in the daemon. Let me map it across the update modules:


Agent

Map daemon self-update pipeline

Prompt:
Map the spt-core daemon self-update pipeline end-to-end in this repo (Rust, crates/spt-daemon and crates/spt). I need to explain to a user "how does an update come to be STAGED so that `spt update apply` can apply it?"

Trace and report the full chain, with file:line references for each step:

1. **Discovery/source**: How does a node learn a new release exists? Look at `crates/spt-daemon/src/update.rs`, `release.rs`, `propagate.rs`. Is it pull-based peer propagation (P2P), a polling loop, or a manual command? What triggers a check? Search for REQ-UPD-1 (peer-propagated update over P2P), ADR-0016.

2. **Verification**: How is a downloaded/received binary verified before staging? Look at `release.rs` (SignedRelease, BUILTIN_RELEASE_KEYS, SHA256), signature/two-key anchor. Where does verification happen relative to staging?

3. **Staging**: What does "staged" mean concretely — where on disk does the staged binary land, what writes it? Look at `relcache.rs` (staged_version), `applyhost.rs` (apply_staged), `update.rs`. What function stages it?

4. **Consent/notification**: How does the user get prompted? Search for "update-consent" notif, REQ-UPD-4 (update gated on user confirmation by default; opt-in full-auto), and how `spt update apply` (cmd_update_apply in crates/spt/src/cli.rs around line 1648) connects to the staged update. Is there an auto-apply / full-auto path that skips the notif?

5. **Apply**: What `apply_staged` / cmd_update_apply actually does — swap the binary, restart, REQ-UPD-3 (no endpoint process terminates during self-update), broker/brain split role.

6. **Propagation onward**: After a node updates, how does it offer the update to peers (REQ-UPD-1, REQ-UPD-5 adapter ripple)? The pull-based peer propagation mechanism.

Report a concise step-by-step pipeline (discovery → verify → stage → notify → apply → re-propagate) with the key function names and file:line for each. Quote the module-level doc comments where they crisply explain a step. Note any config flags (full-auto, channels, debug rollout) the user can set. Don't dump whole files — just the pipeline spine with citations.
