Read CONTEXT.md remote-control region


**deferred-message gate:** deferred (spool-only, hook-consumer) messages are **not** delivered to a dormant or suspended instance — they hold until it is active again. (Extends the deferred-row semantics, KNOWN-HAZARDS 1.4/4.4, with an instance-state gate.)

**Remote-control vs local operation (two distinct modes — not the same as instances):**
- **Operate locally:** drive the native instance on *your* machine (its local files, its synced mind). The normal case.
- **Remote-control (Shell-like):** attach a control/view surface to an instance *running on another node* — compute + files stay remote; you are a viewport (the byte-stream terminal attach, daemon-to-daemon over Iroh). Used when you specifically want *that machine's* environment. This is effectively a Shell (a driven surface, user→agent direction), separate from the instance concept itself.
- **Smooth handoff (remote-control → local):** no teardown required. `git pull` brings the files; the **fresh-with-preload resume seam** preloads the other instance's latest synced context (psyche-download); the remote instance simply goes dormant. The mind follows; the files are local.

### Pieces the Instances model requires

**subnet registry**:
Distributed, eventually-consistent map `endpoint_id → [instances: (node, perch, type, status)]`, **per subnet**. Every `spt-daemon` participates in the registry of each subnet it belongs to. This is the "agent name resolution" the sister project deferred — now first-class and mandatory.

**endpoint visibility (per-(endpoint, subnet))**:
Whether an endpoint is exposed to a given subnet. **Hidden means *excluded*** — not advertised in that subnet's registry **and not routable from it** (addressing it from that subnet fails until explicitly revealed), not merely unlisted. This makes hiding a real boundary, ready for the cross-user (b) seam, not a silent non-boundary. Computed as: endpoint `E` is **hidden in subnet `S` iff** `S.hide_new_endpoints` (a per-subnet policy captured at the node's **join time**) **OR** `E.default_hide_from_new_subnets` (a per-endpoint setting) — **unless** an explicit per-`(E,S)` override says otherwise (the override always wins). Both defaults ship **OFF** (visible); hiding is opt-in. **Visibility gates sync:** `hidden ⟹ not synced`, and replicating a mind into `S` (the sync-membership list under *Cross-node Psyche sync*) requires `E` be visible in `S` — visibility is the outer gate, sync-membership the inner opt-in within visible subnets.

**home subnet (per endpoint)**:
The single subnet that anchors an endpoint's *defaults*: the default **sync** scope (subnet-exclusive mind replication — *Cross-node Psyche sync*) and the subnet that qualifies its **bare name**. **Assigned at creation:** the node's **sole** subnet automatically; on a **multi-subnet** node it **must be specified** at creation (no silent guess — mirrors the *resolution policy*'s refuse-and-qualify); on an **unpaired** node the endpoint is local-only until first join, when home is set. Distinct from advertisement: identity is **node-global and advertised into *every* subnet the node belongs to** per the visibility defaults — home subnet is only the default-scope *anchor*, not a limit on where the endpoint is visible or addressable. **Home is immutable** — there is **no re-home** (ADR-0010). To place an agent's mind in a different subnet, **fork** it (see *`spt fork`*) and optionally delete the original; this avoids any scope-migration / stale-mind ambiguity (the source is untouched until explicitly deleted).

**resource advertisement (subnet resource registry)**:
A per-endpoint **free-text blurb** describing the services/functions the endpoint can serve — an agent **yellow-pages** for service discovery, distinct from *capability declaration* (machine-readable, which endpoint *types* a node hosts) and from *endpoint visibility* (whether it's addressable at all). **Both-authored + mutable:** config seeds a default; the agent refines its own at runtime (`spt resources set …`). It is **not a separate registry** — it is a field on the endpoint record and a **projection** of the subnet registry (`(id, node, resources-blurb)`), surfaced as the "subnet resource registry" view. **Gated by the access layers:** an endpoint excluded from subnet S (visibility) — or, later, one whose access whitelist (*endpoint access whitelist*) excludes the viewer's node — never appears in that view; discovery leaks nothing a viewer couldn't reach. Synced as **registry data, not context** (directory metadata, not the agent's mind). M4 (needs the distributed registry).

**resolution policy**:
How bare `ling` resolves when multiple instances exist. Rule: local-node instance if present → else most-recently-active → explicit override always available. **Two qualifier syntaxes**, combinable: **subnet-qualified** `home:ling` and **node-qualified** `ling@hfenduleam` (→ `home:ling@hfenduleam`). **Multi-subnet ambiguity rule:** under node-global identity (endpoint ID below), a node on several subnets may see two *distinct* endpoints that share a bare name (a `home:ling` and an unrelated `work:ling`). When a bare `id` is ambiguous across the visible subnets, resolution **refuses and forces qualification** (by subnet or node) rather than guessing. Within a single subnet, bare ids stay unique (join-time collision check, below).

**instantiate-anywhere** (seam day-one, behavior deferred):
From node Y, spin up an instance of an endpoint on node X by routing a launch command to X's daemon, which runs the endpoint's manifest locally. "Agents can spin up instances (including of themselves) on any node, possibly requiring user consent" — so a **consent gate** governs remote instantiation. The consent-UX design is deferred; the model is built to accommodate it.

**cross-instance context freshness** (two-tier):
When a dormant instance is activated again, it is unobtrusively fed the latest Psyche context — newest-among-peers *and* newer than its own. Scoped by the existing Psyche-context split:
- **live context** (per-agent, project-independent — the agent's general mind): synced to **all** instances of the endpoint, regardless of project.
- **project context** (per-agent-per-project — project-specific detail): synced **only** to instances sharing the **same project**.

So all `ling` instances catch up on live context; only same-project `ling` instances catch up on project context. This resolves the "divergent simultaneous work" concern (two instances on different projects don't clobber each other's project detail) without losing the "mind follows everywhere" property.

The precedence/freshness guard (KNOWN-HAZARDS 6.5) — with node identity in the marker — keeps a dormant instance's stale context from clobbering the active authoritative one.

**Authoring directives + memformat** (full design: `docs/CONTEXT-MEMORY.md`): the live/project split is made stable by (1) a per-*topic* cross-project discriminator with default-to-project bias, (2) **commune-source asymmetry** — echo communes are project-primary and live-conservative (the leak fix), and (3) **deep memformat integration** — memformat becomes the load-bearing, self-evolving, **tier-tagged** schema (each topic tagged `live`/`project`, decided once at creation, re-tiering migrates content), whose topics are containers of **structured blocks** (id + Concepts/Aliases/Applies-to + Source + timestamps + Hash + Pinned). A generated **Retrieval Map (INDEX)** per project + per agent realizes cross-agent synthesis + query-routing. **Start-injection** is dense on the working set (live + current-project hot/`Pinned` blocks → immediate productivity) and sparse on the tail (other projects, cross-agent synthesis, cold blocks → pointer + INDEX, on-demand), tunable via a density knob. Several patterns adapted from `BigscreenVR/pi-agent-memory`.

### Off-node reach-back

When the user is driving an instance from off-node, the agent should be able to:
- **detect** that it is being driven remotely (and from which node) — observable from the `spt-daemon`, which knows whether the driving session-surface stream is local or network-attached; (v1)
- **transfer files** to/from the user's (driving) node — file payloads over the messaging substrate; (v1)
- **run commands** on the user's node — remote command execution, **deferred + security-gated** (shares the consent model with instantiate-anywhere; arbitrary cross-node exec is the highest-risk capability in the system). Deferred partly because workarounds exist: the remote-node agent can message a local-node agent to run the command, or the user can interact with a local-node agent directly. (deferred)

### v1 scope line (V1-mid)

- **In v1:** the endpoint-ID / instance data-model split; the subnet registry; resolution policy; remote-drive of *already-running* instances (network session-surface); cross-node Psyche sync (full — replaces gh-repo-sync); cross-instance context-freshness auto-feed; off-node file transfer; off-node remote-drive detection.
- **Seam-compatible but deferred:** instantiate-anywhere + its consent gate; remote command execution + its security gate (workarounds: remote agent messages a local agent, or user interacts with a local agent directly).
- **Rationale:** the data-model split and registry are foundations — deferring them forces a later rewrite, so they are in regardless. Remote-drive of a running instance is the highest-value slice and exercises the whole networking+daemon stack end-to-end. Instantiate-anywhere and remote-exec carry consent/security design that should not gate v1.

  generalization of 6.5 (red-team **#7**). **Merge-model DECIDED (2026-06-03, best
  judgment):** per-node **monotonic epoch counters + a version vector** (one counter per
  node, persisted in branchstore). A write carries the author's vector; on receipt, if the
  incoming vector strictly dominates → accept; if dominated → drop (stale); if **concurrent**
  (neither dominates) → **surface as an explicit conflict**, never silently newest-wins.
  Rationale: text context snapshots written infrequently by ≤N nodes don't need CRDT
  machinery, but DO need correct causality + concurrent-write detection (#7's core); a
  version vector gives both cheaply and **unifies with D3b's epoch-lease (#8)** — one
  per-node monotonic epoch source serves registry leases *and* sync precedence. Wall-clock
  stays only as a human-facing tiebreaker hint inside a flagged conflict, never as the
  ordering authority. Confirm with user at D6 build start before locking the conflict-surface UX.
- **D6c** Subnet-exclusive sync honored (hidden ⟹ not synced; per-endpoint membership list).

# M4-D5 — cross-node message + remote-drive + access control (JIT plan)

`017d103`). D5 puts user-visible function on that substrate: send a message to an agent on

## Goal

Drive an agent on machine A from machine B (loopback two-daemon in CI; two-host at D9):
a WAN message reaches a remote endpoint's spool/stream exactly-once; a byte-stream terminal
attach to a remote instance works as a viewport (compute + files stay remote); the driven
agent can detect it is network-driven and from which node; an endpoint with a whitelist
refuses unsolicited inbound from a non-listed origin node. Reqs: REQ-NET-1 (WAN-msg
aspects), REQ-INST-8, REQ-REACH-1, REQ-SEC-1.

## Decisions (locked)

- **WAN messages ride broker QUIC streams as NDJSON** — the D4d `RegistryUpdate`/`LineDecoder`
  pattern (`spt-net/src/net/replicate.rs`) extended with a `WanMessage` record
  `{ target, from, body, op_id }`. Receiver-side the record funnels into the **existing
  local path** `spt_msg::deliver(target, from, body, owlery)` — TCP-first/spool-fallback,
  deferred-row semantics (1.4/4.4) and codec ordering (4.1) all inherited, not rebuilt.
- **`origin_node` is transport truth, never payload.** The whitelist subject is the QUIC
  connection's authenticated remote node id (iroh `EndpointId` == Ed25519 node pubkey,
  REQ-NET-1's identity binding) — a `from`/origin field inside the NDJSON record is
  display metadata only and MUST NOT feed the gate. Register this as a new hazard
  (KNOWN-HAZARDS §7.5 + `REQ-HAZARD-WAN-ORIGIN-AUTH`, rule 3) with a spoof negative test.
- **Exactly-once inherits D4 discipline** (REQ-HAZARD-RESTART-IDEMPOTENT): sends ride the
  journaled `KIND_NET_STREAM_SEND` path (`op_id` dedup at the effect); the receiver dedups
  `op_id` before spool/deliver so redelivery after a restart can't double-deliver (4.5's
  wire-side cousin).
- **Remote attach = OutputLog over the wire.** The broker-side `OutputLog` (seq'd ring,
  cursor resume) is already the gapless surface; D5b pumps its chunks over a broker QUIC
  stream (NDJSON control + base64 chunk records), input flows back over the same stream
  into the existing `KIND_INPUT` path. Cursor-resume on reattach gives brain-restart
  survival on both ends for free. Viewport only — no file or exec surface (REQ-REACH-2
  deferred).
- **Detection is a daemon fact, not an agent guess** (REQ-REACH-1): a net-attached surface
  registers `(session, origin_node)` in the daemon; exposed as an instance-status field +
  queryable over the `api` surface. The "node X is driving" light notification becomes a
  notif-producer when D8 lands — D5 emits the event seam only.
- **File transfer is substrate-level, progress-queryable** (CONTEXT §file-transfer
  progress): chunked NDJSON-framed records with `op_id`, both ends keep
  `{ bytes_done, bytes_total }` queryable mid-flight via a brain frame. v1 surface is
  to/from the driving node (the off-node reach-back case), shaped so the Shell text+file
  channel inherits it.
- **Whitelist = trust-store plumbing, opposite polarity** (ADR-0009): `AccessStore` next to
  `spt-store/src/trust.rs` (security material near the trust store, NOT the context repo);
  per-endpoint `{ nodes: [pubkey], users: [] /* inert until cross-user */ }`; **absent =
  open**, present = restrict. Enforced at the target node on the **unsolicited** inbound
  class only: outbound unrestricted; inbound correlated to the endpoint's own prior
  outbound (`__REPLY_TO__`) allowed from any visible node; same-node always allowed (the
  gate sits on the net-inbound path only, so the local path never sees it). Gate order:
  visibility → whitelist → grants (outer gate before grants).
- **Gate hook lands with D5a, enforcement with D5d:** the net-inbound dispatch calls one
  `access_check(endpoint, origin_node, class)` seam from day one (default-open), so D5b/c
  inbound paths are born gated and D5d only fills in store + reply-correlation + CLI.

## Pieces (build order)

1. **D5a — WAN message delivery** (REQ-NET-1 WAN-msg). `WanMessage` NDJSON over broker
   streams; sender resolves `id[@node]` via `SubnetRegistry` (D3c policy: refuse ambiguous);
   receiver dedups `op_id` → `spt_msg::deliver` → spool/TCP. `access_check` hook stubbed
   default-open. `spt send` grows the off-node leg transparently. Loopback test: message
   from daemon A lands in B's perch spool; replay after receiver brain restart → no dup;
   spoofed payload-origin ignored (hazard test).
2. **D5b — remote terminal attach** (REQ-INST-8). Attach-request record over a broker
   stream → target daemon subscribes its own `OutputLog` from cursor, pumps chunk records
   back; input records → `KIND_INPUT`. `spt attach <id>@<node>` CLI leg. Loopback test:
   drive a real PTY session cross-daemon; kill/restart a brain mid-attach → cursor resume,
   no gap, no dup.
3. **D5c — remote-drive detection + file transfer** (REQ-REACH-1). Net-attached surface
   registers `(session, origin_node)`; instance status + `api` query expose it. Chunked
   file transfer to/from the driving node, `op_id`-idempotent, progress queryable from
   both ends. Handoff seam (`git pull` + fresh-with-preload resume; remote goes dormant)
   documented as the D6-consumed shape — detection + transfer only here.
4. **D5d — endpoint access whitelist** (REQ-SEC-1, ADR-0009). `AccessStore` (+ inert
   `users` field); reply-vs-new classification (track recent outbound per endpoint for
   `__REPLY_TO__` correlation); `access_check` enforces origin-node gate; minimal
   `spt access allow|revoke|list` surface. Tests: default-empty open; whitelisted node
   passes; non-listed unsolicited refused; reply from non-listed node passes (stateful
   firewall); same-node always passes; origin spoof via payload fails.
5. **Fault-matrix rows** (maintenance rule): WAN-msg path, remote attach, file transfer
   each get a row in `docs/FAULT-MATRIX.md` in the same change that lands them.

## Requirement activation (rule 5)

- **REQ-INST-8** → activate `[impl, unit]` at D5b.
- **REQ-REACH-1** → activate `[impl, unit]` at D5c.
- **REQ-SEC-1** → activate `[impl, unit]` at D5d.
- **REQ-NET-1** stays `[impl, unit]` (new evidence tags on the WAN-msg path); `int` remains
  the D9 two-host E2E.
- **New (rule 3): `REQ-HAZARD-WAN-ORIGIN-AUTH`** — origin-node authenticated from transport
  identity, never payload — register at D5a with doc+impl+unit (the spoof negative test).

## THIS slice — D5a (WAN message delivery)

- `WanMessage` record + `LineDecoder` reuse in `spt-net` (or sibling module to
  `replicate.rs`); broker net-inbound dispatch routes message records → dedup → deliver.
- Sender leg: resolve via registry (local-first, refuse-ambiguous, `@node` pin) → dial →
  journaled stream send.
- `access_check` seam (default-open) on the unsolicited-inbound dispatch.
- KNOWN-HAZARDS §7.5 + `REQ-HAZARD-WAN-ORIGIN-AUTH` registered and covered.
- Tests (`crates/spt-daemon/tests/wanmsg.rs`, hermetic two-daemon harness from
  `replicate.rs`): cross-daemon spool landing; receiver-restart no-dup; payload-origin
  spoof ignored; ambiguous bare id refused.

## NOT in D5 (this milestone)

- Psyche-context sync + the full remote→local handoff (fresh-with-preload) — D6.
- Remote command execution (REQ-REACH-2), instantiate-anywhere + consent UX — deferred
  (seams only).
- User-tier whitelist (ADR-0006 cross-user) — schema reserves `users`, inert.
- Notif primitive ("node X is driving" prompt UX) — D8; D5 emits the event seam.
- Two-host integration — D9 (loopback shapes only here).

## Conventions (carried)

- NO `cargo fmt`. Tag `[impl->REQ-…]` / `[unit->REQ-…]` on real evidence. `traceable-reqs
  check` from repo root before done. Local clippy can't see `#[cfg]` arms — Linux CI clippy
  `-D warnings` is the real gate. Push each slice → watch green before next.

## Handoff seam — the D6-consumed shape (documented at D5c, built at D6)

<!-- [doc->REQ-REACH-1] -->
The smooth remote-control → local handoff (CONTEXT §Remote-control vs local operation)
composes from three pieces, **none of which is new machinery**:

1. **Files:** `git pull` on the local node — file state moves through the repo, never
   through the attach viewport (compute + files stayed remote the whole time; the D5c file
   channel is for individual reach-back payloads, not repo migration).
2. **Mind:** the **fresh-with-preload resume seam** — the local instance starts (or wakes)
   preloaded with the endpoint's latest synced Psyche context. D6a's P2P replication is
   what makes "latest" hold cross-node; the preload call shape is the existing
   resume-with-context path the daemon already drives locally.
3. **Remote goes dormant, no teardown:** the remote instance simply stops being driven —
   its `driven_by` marker clears when the viewport ends (D5c detection), it keeps its
   perch/spool/history, and the cross-instance context-freshness feed (D6) catches it up
   if it is ever driven again. Nothing is destroyed; dormancy is the default rest state
   (CONTEXT §instances).

D5c's deliverables are the two ingredients the seam needs from this slice: **detection**
(the daemon-stamped `driven_by` fact + the `spt api driven-by` query) and **file
transfer** (op-id-addressable, progress-queryable). D6 wires 2 and the freshness feed.

# M4-D5 — cross-node message + remote-drive + access control (JIT plan)

**Status:** D5a complete (`caab433`), D5b complete (`4ea3b37`), D5c complete (this change).
D5d next. D4 complete (broker owns endpoint/conns/streams; gapless exactly-once
stream survival; PresenceChannel seam; registry replication over the wire — CI-green at

D5c: wire records — spt-net xfer.rs (NDJSON, no origin field)

XferRecord {Fetch|Push|Chunk(offset)|Done|Err} + XferDecoder, unknown-kind skip, unit tests (round-trip, unknown-field tolerance, no-origin-field hazard test)

D5c: progress store + driven_by field — spt-store

xfer progress files {bytes_done,bytes_total,state} per (xfer_id, role) under spt_home/transfers, atomic writes, read helper; InfoJson.driven_by + set_driven_by; unit tests

D5c: daemon pumps — serve_xfer/fetch_file/push_file + driven_by stamping in serve_attach

spt-daemon/src/xfer.rs: target serve (gated, offset-idempotent writes, temp+rename, progress per chunk, fire-and-forget sends only); operator fetch/push; serve_attach stamps/clears driven_by on endpoint perch

D5c: api expose driven_by

Query surface so agent can detect "driven by node X" via spt api

D5c: int tests — fetch cross-daemon + push survives brain restart + detection

tests/xfer.rs (fetch w/ mid-flight progress; crash mid-push → re-serve seq 0 → byte-identical); attach.rs detection test (driven_by set on attach, cleared on detach)

D5c: docs + activation — handoff seam shape, FAULT-MATRIX row, REQ-REACH-1 [impl,unit]

Handoff seam (git pull + fresh-with-preload, remote dormant) doc'd as D6-consumed shape; FAULT-MATRIX row 13; traceable-reqs.toml activation; traceable-reqs check green; push + CI watch

# Fault-injection acceptance matrix

**Why this exists.** ADR-0002 collapsed networking into the one per-machine daemon
(SERIOUS #6, Stage-A red team): a networking bug and a PTY bug now share a failure
domain. The collapse is locked — the owed mitigation is this matrix: inject a fault
into each subsystem **independently**, observe the blast radius (what else breaks)
and the recovery (what brings it back), and grow the proven rows until every
subsystem has injection evidence. Begun at M4-D4 (per `M4-D4-PLAN.md` piece 5);
rows land as their machinery lands.

**How to read it.** *Fault* = what is injected. *Blast radius* = the components that
degrade, by design. *Survives* = what must keep working untouched. *Recovery* = the
path back. *Evidence* = the test (or gap) backing the row. Rows marked **planned**
are accepted debt — tracked here so the matrix is the single place to look.

## Proven rows (injection evidence in-tree)

| # | Fault injected | Blast radius (by design) | Survives untouched | Recovery | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Brain killed mid-PTY-stream** (logic crash / routine self-update) | Logic halts until restart | Broker, PTY child (pid stable), output log | New brain re-subscribes from cursor; gapless + exactly-once | `spt-daemon/tests/` B2/B9 handoff suite; `tests/idempotent.rs` (crash before-intent / before-effect / after-effect) |
| 2 | **Brain killed mid-QUIC-stream, receive side** | Logic halts | Broker-owned endpoint, conn, stream, read ring | Resubscribe from durable cursor; ring replays the dead window | `tests/netstream.rs::receiver_brain_restart_is_gapless_and_exactly_once` |
| 3 | **Brain killed mid-QUIC-stream, send side** | Logic halts | Broker-owned conn/stream + effect journal | Re-drive whole durable op sequence; journal dedups replays (no dup on the wire) | `tests/netstream.rs::sender_brain_restart_redrive_is_exactly_once` |
| 4 | **Brain dead across peer connect/disconnect** | Presence consumption pauses | PresenceLog ring buffers liveness transitions | Resubscribe from presence cursor; missed transitions replay | `tests/presence.rs` (both tests) |
| 5 | **Peer node vanishes (graceful close)** | That conn's streams end | Local broker, other conns, brain | Closed-watcher removes conn row + emits `disconnected`; dial fresh when needed | `tests/presence.rs`; `nethost.rs` closed-watcher |
| 6 | **Registry feed: stale/replayed update over the wire** | None — update dropped | Stored registry state (newer epoch holds) | None needed (epoch lease absorbs it) | `tests/replicate.rs::registries_converge_over_the_wire_and_the_lease_holds`; `replicate.rs` unit tests |
| 7 | **Registry feed: corrupt record in the stream** | That record only — skipped | The rest of the feed (decoder does not wedge) | Lease makes loss safe; next update supersedes | `replicate.rs::decoder_survives_chunk_splits_and_corrupt_lines` |
| 8 | **Net disabled / endpoint bind fails at boot** | No WAN; net frames answer `enabled:false` / typed error | PTY hosting (daemon degrades to net-less broker) | Fix config, restart daemon | `broker.rs::dispatch_net_status` (None arm); `Daemon::run` degrade path |
| 9 | **Broker process restart (journal survives, conns don't)** | Live conns/streams lost | Effect journal (durable) | Deduped op whose resource is gone → typed "retry with a fresh op_id" error; brain re-dials | `broker.rs::dispatch_net_dial` / `dispatch_net_stream_open` restart arms |
| 10 | **WAN msg feed replayed** (sender redrive, or receiver brain restart resubscribing from a stale cursor) | None — replayed records dedup | Spool state (each op exactly one row); already-delivered ops | Durable `wan_seen` op-id claims absorb the replay; spool path claims atomically with the row | `tests/wanmsg.rs::receiver_restart_replays_feed_without_double_delivery`; `spool.rs` wan unit tests |
| 11 | **WAN msg record forges its origin** (payload `origin_node`/`node` field) | None — forgery inert (unknown field) | Access-gate subject (handshake-proven `remote_id_hex`) | None needed (records carry no origin field by design — KH 7.5) | `tests/wanmsg.rs::wan_message_lands_exactly_once_under_transport_origin`; `wanmsg.rs::forged_origin_field_is_inert` |
| 12 | **Target brain killed mid-remote-attach** (operator typing into the dead window) | Pumping pauses until handoff | Broker-held QUIC stream, session + child, output log, effect journal; the operator's viewport | Successor re-serves the same stream from seq 0 (worst case): replayed input dedups at the PTY-write journal; re-transmitted output dedups at the operator's render cursor — every byte exactly once | `tests/attach.rs::attach_survives_target_brain_restart_exactly_once` |

## Planned rows (accepted debt — no injection evidence yet)

| # | Fault to inject | Expected blast radius | Expected survival | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | **Iroh endpoint task hangs** (not crash — a wedged accept loop) | New inbound conns stall; existing conns + PTY hosting unaffected | PTY side fully isolated (separate threads/runtime) | D9 chaos pass |
| P2 | **mDNS discovery dies** | LAN dial-by-id fails; direct-addr + relay dials unaffected | Endpoint, conns, PTY | D9 (needs real LAN) |
| P3 | **Relay unreachable** (n0 outage / air-gap) | WAN dials needing relay fail; LAN/direct unaffected | Everything local | D9 two-host |
| P4 | **PTY broker drain thread dies** | That session's output stalls | Other sessions, net side | with terminal-wrapper hardening |
| P5 | **Manifest invocation hangs** (adapter subprocess) | That endpoint's lifecycle op | Daemon scheduler (KH 5.3 timeouts + 7.4 non-blocking) | when daemon hosts N agent loops |
| P6 | **Registry feed flood** (malicious/buggy peer spams updates) | Bounded by ring caps + lease; CPU cost unmeasured | — | D9 + REQ-SEC-1 outer gate |
| P7 | **Closed-watcher starvation** (net runtime saturated) | Presence lags behind reality | Conn table eventually consistent | D9 chaos pass |
| P8 | **Receiver crash between a live-TCP WAN delivery and its op-id claim** | That one in-flight op re-delivers on replay (at-least-once window — chosen over claim-first, whose crash gap silently *drops*; see `wan.rs` module docs) | Spool path (claim+row atomic); all other ops | live-listener durable receipt, if the window ever bites |

**Maintenance rule:** when a planned row gains a real injection test, move it up with
its evidence path. When new subsystems land (D5 WAN delivery, D6 Psyche sync), add
their fault rows *in the same change* — a subsystem without a row here is a review
finding.

git add -A && git commit -m "feat(net): M4-D5c remote-drive detection + file transfer (REQ-REACH-1)

Detection is a daemon fact: serve_attach stamps the endpoint perch's new
driven_by info.json field with the handshake-proven origin node on attach
and clears it when the viewport ends; 'spt api driven-by <id>' is the
agent's query (never a session-heuristic guess).

File transfer to/from the driving node rides one bidi QUIC stream per
transfer as NDJSON XferRecords (Fetch/Push/Chunk/Done/Err — no origin
field, KH 7.5). Exactly-once without journaled sends in the pump
(the D5b starvation lesson): chunks carry absolute offsets (positional
idempotency under full feed replay) and the receive side commits via
atomic temp->final rename gated on temp completeness, deduping a replayed
commit against an already-committed final. Both ends rewrite a durable
{bytes_done, bytes_total} record per chunk under <spt_home>/transfers/
(spt-store::xfer) — the mid-flight query surface for agent + GUI
(CONTEXT \"file-transfer progress\"). Wire paths resolve strictly under
the target's transfer root (no absolute, no traversal).

Tests: fetch lands byte-identical cross-daemon with both ends' progress
settled; traversal refused with an Err record; target brain killed
mid-push with a partial temp -> successor re-serves the same stream from
seq 0 -> file byte-identical, temp consumed (FAULT-MATRIX row 13).
Handoff seam (git pull + fresh-with-preload; remote goes dormant)
documented as the D6-consumed shape. REQ-REACH-1 activated [impl, unit].

CI run 26929076269 watching in background. While waiting — summary:

**D5c complete, pushed @ 269b8ef:**

- **Wire** (`spt-net/net/xfer.rs`): `XferRecord {Fetch|Push|Chunk(offset)|Done|Err}` NDJSON; no origin field (KH 7.5); unknown kinds skip.
- **Store** (`spt-store/xfer.rs` + `info.rs`): durable per-(xfer_id, role) progress files under `<spt_home>/transfers/` — atomic writes, mid-flight queryable by agent + GUI; `InfoJson.driven_by` + `set_driven_by`.
- **Daemon** (`spt-daemon/xfer.rs`): `serve_xfer` / `fetch_file` / `push_file`. Gotcha #1 honored — all pump sends `None`; exactly-once = positional chunk offsets + commit via atomic temp→final rename **gated on temp completeness** (replayed commit dedups against committed final, never renames garbage over it). Wire paths confined under transfer root. `serve_attach` stamps/clears `driven_by` w/ handshake-proven origin.
- **API**: `spt api driven-by <id>` → `DRIVEN_BY:<id>:<node|->`, auth-gated.
- **Tests**: fetch byte-identical cross-daemon + both-end progress settled + traversal refused; crash-mid-push → re-serve seq 0 → byte-identical, temp consumed; detection stamp/clear w/ real PTY attach. FAULT-MATRIX row 13.
- **Docs**: handoff seam (git pull + fresh-with-preload + remote dormant) documented in M4-D5-PLAN as D6-consumed shape. REQ-REACH-1 activated `[impl,unit]`; `traceable-reqs check` exit 0; workspace clippy 0 warnings; all tests green local.

Next after CI green: D5d — AccessStore + reply-correlation + `spt access` CLI (REQ-SEC-1).
