From aa8caeeece39e76fb3882eae13892704ae8c6b96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:00:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mesh: cryptographic foundation, off by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 1 of the federation/gossip layer fox sketched as the natural extension of v9.8 admissibility's content-addressed identity. Two peers ingesting the same dump already compute identical document_roots and identical 8-dim cache_keys; the mesh layer is the wire-and-trust plumbing that lets them dedup answers, exchange Merkle proofs, and cleanly distrust an evicted member without a hard fork. Cryptography (cryptography lib, audited): Ed25519 — every membership mutation + (future) gossip envelope is signed by the actor's pubkey. X25519 ECDH — wraps each epoch's symmetric mesh secret to every current member's DH pubkey via HKDF-derived AEAD key. ChaCha20-P1305— AEAD for envelope payloads + per-member secret wrap. State machine: mesh_identity — singleton; this peer's keys + group name mesh_roster — per-epoch (member_id, sign_pub, dh_pub, role) mesh_epochs — epoch_id -> {started_at, started_event_hash, secret_envelope JSON, reason} meta:mesh.enabled flag — off by default; gates everything Eviction works by rotating to a new epoch whose envelope omits the kicked member. Their prior signatures stay verifiable (the older roster row is retained), but any gossip from epoch+1 onward is opaque to them — the secret was never shared with their pubkey. Authority gate: only roster members with role='admin' can add or kick. Self-kick is rejected explicitly. The last admin can't be kicked. Schedule-rotate (refresh secret, no roster change) is open to any current member as a session-hygiene op. Audit-chain integration: every mesh state mutation writes an audit event (mesh_init, mesh_enable/disable, mesh_epoch_rotate). The epoch's started_event_hash backfills into mesh_epochs after the audit row commits, giving each epoch a tamper-evident pin into the ledger. CLI subcommands: mesh init, mesh status, mesh enable, mesh disable, mesh members, mesh add, mesh kick, mesh rotate. All read-only or local-state-only — no network code paths in this commit. The HTTP gossip wire (`mesh sync`, `mesh serve`) is the next phase. Schema, cryptography, and roster state machine are all in place to support it without further migration. --- README.md | 25 +++ aborist/cli.py | 230 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ aborist/mesh/__init__.py | 65 +++++++ aborist/mesh/crypto.py | 105 +++++++++++ aborist/mesh/members.py | 135 ++++++++++++++ aborist/mesh/state.py | 342 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ aborist/store.py | 41 +++++ pyproject.toml | 1 + tests/test_mesh.py | 374 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 1318 insertions(+) create mode 100644 aborist/mesh/__init__.py create mode 100644 aborist/mesh/crypto.py create mode 100644 aborist/mesh/members.py create mode 100644 aborist/mesh/state.py create mode 100644 tests/test_mesh.py diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index b9233ce..918b35c 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -236,6 +236,31 @@ make falsify KEY= REASON="why it was wrong" The original record stays in the database (history matters).
