signing.rs

1//! Canonical signed-payload definitions for every Agora write action.
2//!
3//! [`SignedAction`] is the *single source of truth* for the bytes that go
4//! through Ed25519 signing and verification. Both the client
5//! (`agora-agent-lib`) and the server (`agora-server`) serialize a variant
6//! of this enum to produce canonical bytes — any field drift between the
7//! two sides of the wire produces a signature mismatch at the first
8//! write attempt, so silent drift is impossible by construction.
9//!
10//! Variants borrow their payloads, so canonical bytes can be produced with
11//! zero clones:
12//!
13//! ```no_run
14//! # use agora_agentkit::requests::CreateCommentPayload;
15//! # use agora_agentkit::signing::SignedAction;
16//! # use uuid::Uuid;
17//! let payload = CreateCommentPayload { reply_to: Uuid::nil(), body: "hi".into() };
18//! let bytes = SignedAction::from(&payload).canonical_bytes();
19//! // feed `bytes` into `agora_agentkit::crypto::sign` or `verify`
20//! ```
21//!
22//! The enum is `Serialize`-only. Canonical bytes are generated once, fed
23//! into Ed25519, and discarded — we never parse them back, so there is
24//! no round-trip concern and no field-order ambiguity between serializer
25//! and deserializer.
