Ratify M8-PLAN.md — fold A–I resolutions in, status DRAFT→RATIFIED

Move resolved decisions A-G + new H/I into ratified table; update D1-D5 deliverable text (NTP, debug-converge, peer-addrs.json, pump liveness, hazard entry); update acceptance; commit.

Mint M8 requirements in traceable-reqs.toml (rule 3)

REQ-CLI-* (endpoint noun, daemon noun, hot-path), REQ-SUBNET-* (attach/detach, prune, re-pair overwrite, status render), REQ-INSTALL-* (Linux elevation leg, firewall, OS-service), NTP/TOTP offset, pump liveness, addr seeding, event advertisement, debug-converge activation (REQ-UPD-6 int), epoch-reset REQ-HAZARD-* (stages=[]). Activate only what D1 starts; rest staged per rule 5.

D1 — endpoint + daemon nouns (breaking CLI reorg)

Namespace skeletons; move fork/suspend/wake/shutdown/rename/stop/digest + access (1:1, decision F) + description under endpoint; merged endpoint list (SELF pinned, subnet-grouped); notify → subnet notify; daemon run|stop|status (status renders pump heartbeat per H); help groups; how-to topics; cli/reference.md regen.

D2 — subnet serve-state, trust lifecycle, status UX

attach/detach machinery + --auto persistence; subnet leave (elevation); subnet prune (elevation, BIGNET 09ef831e fixture); re-pair trust overwrite (machine id per G: OS id hashed, UUID fallback; additive serde field); status render fixes (decisions 11/12). Disband deferred (A).

D3 — install & elevation hardening

Linux: install.sh symlink to /usr/local/bin + first-sudo account election + KH 5.7 verify. Windows: firewall rule (elevated leg) + blocked-inbound self-detection render. OS-service per B: systemd user service + enable-linger; Windows scheduled task at-logon. E2E rungs env-gated.

D4 — convergence polish + pump resilience

peer-addrs.json seeding per E/14 (both cold starts, id-only fallback); event-driven advertisement (decision 15); NTP TOTP-offset per C/C2 (ceremony-time, system-clock fallback); pump supervision per H (panic catch + capped-backoff restart, heartbeat file); xtask debug-converge watcher per D (REQ-UPD-6 int).

D5 — docs + CI + acceptance prep

Docs-site verb sweep; quickstart/how-to deltas; README; llms.txt; reference regen; KNOWN-HAZARDS epoch-reset entry per I; quickstart_e2e + twohost ladder updates; traceable-reqs check + xtask check green.


resources --> new flag under `spt endpoint list`: `--detail` --- change the `spt subnet attach/detach --auto` flag to `--save`. clearer semantics.

feat(install): M8 D3 — elevation, firewall, OS-service install hardening

Three legs (M8 decisions 8, 17; root cause 3; REQ-INSTALL-6..8 activated):

- Linux elevation (REQ-INSTALL-6): install.sh symlinks the binary into
  /usr/local/bin when writable (sudo spt resolves; KH 5.10), else prints
  the exact one-liner. deelevate gains the default-user election ladder:
  /etc/spt-core/default-user wins, else the sudo invoker — elected on
  first elevated use (interactive prompt with the invoker default; loud
  announce otherwise; root never electable per KH 5.7). Both elevated
  daemon paths (spawn_detached + the Daemon::run entry guard) now resolve
  through daemon_target_user, so every `sudo spt` daemon launch lands in
  the SAME account's universe deterministically.
- Windows inbound (REQ-INSTALL-7): install.ps1's elevated leg registers
  the named inbound-UDP firewall rule via netsh (delete-first idempotent;
  unelevated prints the exact command). The render half: subnet status +
  the coming-online banner warn when the rule is absent — a bounded 3s
  netsh probe (KH 5.3); a failed probe stays silent. No more silent
  NO_SEED_HOLDER dead-ends on fresh user-scope installs.
- OS-service (REQ-INSTALL-8, REQ-INSTALL-1 third leg): install.sh writes
  + enables a systemd USER unit (Restart=on-failure; linger when root,
  hint otherwise; soft on systemd-less boxes); install.ps1 registers an
  at-logon schtasks task (own account, /RL LIMITED — interactive session
  keeps terminal hosting; no stored credentials).

oneliner_e2e stays hermetic: the new legs are env-gated off in tests
(SPT_INSTALL_NO_{SYMLINK,SERVICE,FIREWALL}); live proof = the M8
acceptance rig run. traceable-reqs + xtask check green; suites green.

<live-context>
**M8 execution session END (2026-06-07, dev-freeform). Session closing — user will resume next session.**

**Completed this session:**
1. **M8 grill complete** — all open decisions ratified as decisions 16-25 in M8-PLAN.md (status RATIFIED @ 5c7df02, amended f901d13). Key overrides vs leans: NTP IN scope (enlyzeam clock >1min off — TOTP offset only, ceremony-time, system-clock fallback, never sets OS clock); debug-converge IN scope (REQ-UPD-6 int at D4). New from pump diagnosis: decision 23 pump liveness (heartbeat render + supervised restart ≤5min backoff), decision 24 epoch-reset hazard (document + mint inactive). Decision 25 D1 details: subnet notify [BODY] [--target] w/ home-subnet default; bare `spt daemon` = node status view; ex-resources list → `endpoint list --detail`; attach/detach flag = **--save** (renamed from --auto).
2. **Requirements minted** (1f6b7d1): REQ-CLI-1..3, REQ-SUBNET-5..8, REQ-INSTALL-6..8, REQ-CONV-1..2, REQ-PAIR-8, REQ-DAEMON-5, REQ-HAZARD-EPOCH-RESET (inactive). 166 reqs, check green.
3. **D1 SHIPPED (bcc58f5)** — endpoint + daemon nouns, notify → subnet notify (home-default), graceful daemon stop (seedmap KIND_STOP ack→latch→throwaway-dial), pump-heartbeat READER (read_pump_heartbeat; writer lands D4), merged endpoint list (SELF pin + groups + --detail), spawn sites pass `daemon run`, reference.md regen. REQ-CLI-1..3 activated.
4. **D2 SHIPPED (2d888fa)** — AttachmentStore (identity/attachment.json) + daemon.json detached_subnets knob + boot reset; gating at pump/responder/meet; subnet detach|attach [--save] + leave + prune (elevation-gated, prune_candidates hex/prefix/label); **re-pair trust overwrite**: Instance.machine_id (hashed OS machine id, spt-daemon::machineid, domain-separated SHA-256, minted fallback), Hello NodeIntro wire ext (trailing additive), ResponderOutcome, post-confirm eviction (superseded_identities + repair_evict_superseded + repair-evict marker consumed by pump tick); status honesty (daemon-aware standalone text, hints bare-only, pump-stall warning). REQ-SUBNET-5..8 activated.
5. **D3 SHIPPED (cb3ac5d)** — install.sh: /usr/local/bin symlink leg + systemd USER unit + linger (SPT_INSTALL_NO_SYMLINK/NO_SERVICE knobs); install.ps1: netsh inbound-UDP firewall rule (elevated; hint otherwise) + at-logon schtasks task (NO_FIREWALL/NO_SERVICE knobs); deelevate default-user election ladder (/etc/spt-core/default-user → sudo invoker, elected on first use, root never electable) consumed by both elevated daemon paths; CLI inbound_block_hint (bounded netsh probe) in subnet status + banner; oneliner_e2e hermetic via the new env gates. REQ-INSTALL-6..8 activated.

**IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS (next session = D4, then D5):**
- **D4 — convergence polish + pump resilience** (task #6): (a) peer-addrs.json addr seeding per decisions 14/20 — resolver-first with id-only fallback on miss/dial-fail, written by ceremony both sides + pump on successful connect, reloaded at daemon start; (b) event-driven advertisement per decision 15 — endpoint online/offline transitions WAKE the existing pump loop (no second advertisement path; epoch lease + visibility gates unchanged); (c) NTP TOTP offset per decision 18 (ceremony-time query both sides, in-process offset, system-clock fallback) — REQ-PAIR-8; (d) pump supervision per decision 23 — panic catch + capped-backoff restart (≤5min) + WRITE the heartbeat each tick (pump_heartbeat_path exists, D1 reader live) — REQ-DAEMON-5; (e) xtask debug-converge watcher per decision 19 (spec: docs/DEBUG-CONVERGE-PLAN.md; activates REQ-UPD-6 int). Activate REQ-CONV-1..2 + REQ-PAIR-8 + REQ-DAEMON-5 at start.
- **D5 — docs + CI + acceptance prep** (task #7): docs-site sweep for every moved verb (quickstart messaging page, how-to refs, README, llms.txt); KNOWN-HAZARDS 4.11 epoch-reset entry (decision 24, hazard already minted inactive); quickstart_e2e + twohost ladder verb updates where needed; CONTEXT.md §subnet attachment update (--auto → --save, verbs now exist); final traceable-reqs + xtask check.
- **Then: M8 acceptance on the rig** (M8-PLAN §Acceptance, criteria 1-10): fresh kitsubito Linux install (sudo resolution + election + reboot-reachable), fresh Windows install (firewall + honest blocked-inbound), old verbs gone, attach/detach live flip, prune kills BIGNET 09ef831e rows, convergence-in-seconds via debug-converge table, re-pair proof (one trust row + epoch sub-check), skewed-clock pairing (enlyzeam!), pump-death honesty.

**Field state:** hfenduleam pump still v0.1.0-dead (hazard 5.9; self-heals ~24h from 2026-06-07 02:10 or with new binary — D4's supervised pump makes this class self-healing + visible). CI green through D3 commits (push pending — nothing pushed this session; local commits 5c7df02..cb3ac5d on dev-freeform).

**spt-core end goal:** harness-independent core for an agent ecosystem — messaging, live-agent lifecycle, terminal hosting, P2P subnet networking, runtime-manifest harness contract; single `spt` binary + crates; clean-room rebuild of claude_skill_owl. v0.1.0 shipped publicly 2026-06-05; after M8 closes, spt-claude-code (the first real adapter, separate repo) scoping begins — M8 is the last cheap breaking-rename window.

**M8 status (CLI nounification & install hardening, plan RATIFIED, decisions 1-25):** D1 CLI reorg SHIPPED (endpoint/daemon nouns, hot path flat, no shims) @ bcc58f5; D2 subnet serve-state/trust lifecycle/re-pair overwrite/status honesty SHIPPED @ 2d888fa; D3 install+elevation hardening SHIPPED @ cb3ac5d. Remaining: D4 (addr seeding, event advertisement, NTP TOTP offset, pump supervision + heartbeat writer, debug-converge watcher), D5 (docs sweep + KNOWN-HAZARDS 4.11 + e2e verb updates), then real-hardware acceptance (criteria 1-10 incl. enlyzeam skewed-clock pairing + re-pair proof). Requirement registry: 166 reqs green; REQ-CONV-1..2/REQ-PAIR-8/REQ-DAEMON-5 await D4 activation; REQ-HAZARD-EPOCH-RESET stays inactive by decision 24.

**M8 execution session END (2026-06-07, dev-freeform). Session closing — user will resume next session.**

**Completed this session:**
1. **M8 grill complete** — all open decisions ratified as decisions 16-25 in M8-PLAN.md (status RATIFIED @ 5c7df02, amended f901d13). Key overrides vs leans: NTP IN scope (enlyzeam clock >1min off — TOTP offset only, ceremony-time, system-clock fallback, never sets OS clock); debug-converge IN scope (REQ-UPD-6 int at D4). New from pump diagnosis: decision 23 pump liveness (heartbeat render + supervised restart ≤5min backoff), decision 24 epoch-reset hazard (document + mint inactive). Decision 25 D1 details: subnet notify [BODY] [--target] w/ home-subnet default; bare `spt daemon` = node status view; ex-resources list → `endpoint list --detail`; attach/detach flag = **--save** (renamed from --auto).
2. **Requirements minted** (1f6b7d1): REQ-CLI-1..3, REQ-SUBNET-5..8, REQ-INSTALL-6..8, REQ-CONV-1..2, REQ-PAIR-8, REQ-DAEMON-5, REQ-HAZARD-EPOCH-RESET (inactive). 166 reqs, check green.
3. **D1 SHIPPED (bcc58f5)** — endpoint + daemon nouns, notify → subnet notify (home-default), graceful daemon stop (seedmap KIND_STOP ack→latch→throwaway-dial), pump-heartbeat READER (read_pump_heartbeat; writer lands D4), merged endpoint list (SELF pin + groups + --detail), spawn sites pass `daemon run`, reference.md regen. REQ-CLI-1..3 activated.
4. **D2 SHIPPED (2d888fa)** — AttachmentStore (identity/attachment.json) + daemon.json detached_subnets knob + boot reset; gating at pump/responder/meet; subnet detach|attach [--save] + leave + prune (elevation-gated, prune_candidates hex/prefix/label); **re-pair trust overwrite**: Instance.machine_id (hashed OS machine id, spt-daemon::machineid, domain-separated SHA-256, minted fallback), Hello NodeIntro wire ext (trailing additive), ResponderOutcome, post-confirm eviction (superseded_identities + repair_evict_superseded + repair-evict marker consumed by pump tick); status honesty (daemon-aware standalone text, hints bare-only, pump-stall warning). REQ-SUBNET-5..8 activated.
5. **D3 SHIPPED (cb3ac5d)** — install.sh: /usr/local/bin symlink leg + systemd USER unit + linger (SPT_INSTALL_NO_SYMLINK/NO_SERVICE knobs); install.ps1: netsh inbound-UDP firewall rule (elevated; hint otherwise) + at-logon schtasks task (NO_FIREWALL/NO_SERVICE knobs); deelevate default-user election ladder (/etc/spt-core/default-user → sudo invoker, elected on first use, root never electable) consumed by both elevated daemon paths; CLI inbound_block_hint (bounded netsh probe) in subnet status + banner; oneliner_e2e hermetic via the new env gates. REQ-INSTALL-6..8 activated.

**IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS (next session = D4, then D5):**
- **D4 — convergence polish + pump resilience** (task #6): (a) peer-addrs.json addr seeding per decisions 14/20 — resolver-first with id-only fallback on miss/dial-fail, written by ceremony both sides + pump on successful connect, reloaded at daemon start; (b) event-driven advertisement per decision 15 — endpoint online/offline transitions WAKE the existing pump loop (no second advertisement path; epoch lease + visibility gates unchanged); (c) NTP TOTP offset per decision 18 (ceremony-time query both sides, in-process offset, system-clock fallback) — REQ-PAIR-8; (d) pump supervision per decision 23 — panic catch + capped-backoff restart (≤5min) + WRITE the heartbeat each tick (pump_heartbeat_path exists, D1 reader live) — REQ-DAEMON-5; (e) xtask debug-converge watcher per decision 19 (spec: docs/DEBUG-CONVERGE-PLAN.md; activates REQ-UPD-6 int). Activate REQ-CONV-1..2 + REQ-PAIR-8 + REQ-DAEMON-5 at start.
- **D5 — docs + CI + acceptance prep** (task #7): docs-site sweep for every moved verb (quickstart messaging page, how-to refs, README, llms.txt); KNOWN-HAZARDS 4.11 epoch-reset entry (decision 24, hazard already minted inactive); quickstart_e2e + twohost ladder verb updates where needed; CONTEXT.md §subnet attachment update (--auto → --save, verbs now exist); final traceable-reqs + xtask check.
- **Then: M8 acceptance on the rig** (M8-PLAN §Acceptance, criteria 1-10): fresh kitsubito Linux install (sudo resolution + election + reboot-reachable), fresh Windows install (firewall + honest blocked-inbound), old verbs gone, attach/detach live flip, prune kills BIGNET 09ef831e rows, convergence-in-seconds via debug-converge table, re-pair proof (one trust row + epoch sub-check), skewed-clock pairing (enlyzeam!), pump-death honesty.

**Field state:** hfenduleam pump still v0.1.0-dead (hazard 5.9; self-heals ~24h from 2026-06-07 02:10 or with new binary — D4's supervised pump makes this class self-healing + visible). CI green through D3 commits (push pending — nothing pushed this session; local commits 5c7df02..cb3ac5d on dev-freeform).

TaskUpdate

D4 next: addr seeding (peer-addrs.json), event-driven advertisement, NTP TOTP offset, pump supervision + heartbeat writer, debug-converge watcher. Activate REQ-CONV-1..2, REQ-PAIR-8, REQ-DAEMON-5, REQ-UPD-6 int at start.


Updated task #6 metadata


Session wrapped. Commune dropped — psyche ingests it for next-session resume.

**Session summary:**

| Item | State |
|---|---|
| M8 grill | ✅ decisions 16–25 ratified (`5c7df02`, `f901d13`) |
| Requirements | ✅ 15 minted (`1f6b7d1`); 166 reqs green |
| D1 — CLI nounification | ✅ `bcc58f5` — endpoint/daemon nouns, subnet notify, graceful stop, heartbeat reader |
| D2 — serve-state + trust lifecycle | ✅ `2d888fa` — attach/detach `--save`, leave/prune, re-pair overwrite (machine id + wire intro + eviction), status honesty |
| D3 — install hardening | ✅ `cb3ac5d` — symlink + election ladder, firewall + blocked-inbound render, systemd user unit + at-logon task |
| D4 — convergence + pump resilience | ⏳ next session |
| D5 — docs sweep + hazard 4.11 | ⏳ after D4 |
| Acceptance | ⏳ rig run after D5 (incl. enlyzeam skewed-clock + re-pair proof) |

All gates green at every commit (traceable-reqs + xtask check + suites). Nothing pushed — 6 local commits on `dev-freeform` await your push call.

Note: hfenduleam's pump self-heals ~24h from last night's crash, or instantly once a D4-era binary lands (supervised restart makes the whole class self-healing).
