gunnar-server 3.0.0

//! `gunnar serve` starts its listeners together and stops them together. They
//! share nothing but the control plane behind them.
//!
//! ```text
//!   :2222            SSH   git-upload-pack / git-receive-pack, publickey auth
//!   :8080            HTTP  the same two verbs over smart HTTP, access-token
//!                          auth — only with `--features http` AND `--http-bind`
//!   127.0.0.1:50051  gRPC  the control plane; authenticated (sshsig + the
//!                          ACL model) unless the development escape hatch is on
//! ```
//!
//! **The two git listeners are two doors onto one room**, and the wiring below
//! is what keeps that true: the same `Dispatch`, the same `WireTransport`, the
//! same `ServerMetrics` and the one `allow_anonymous` field are handed to both.
//! A second control plane or a second transport here is how SSH and HTTP would
//! come to disagree about who may push.
//!
//! Git traffic never passes through gRPC. There is no bridge and none is
//! wanted: it is that separation which makes the v1 authentication hole
//! survivable, because an open gRPC port cannot push code.
//!
//! # What this module is responsible for saying out loud
//!
//! 1. **Whether the unauthenticated enrolment door is open**, at every start,
//!    on stdout *and* in the log. `gunnar_core::AuthTable::prepare_to_serve`
//!    returns the state as a value; [`announce_readiness`] is the caller that
//!    has to branch on it, and `tests/bootstrap.rs` asserts every branch.
//!
//!    Until 2026-08-05 an empty identity table with no `--admin-key` was a
//!    **refusal to start** (the secret-store seam). That is why gunnar had no first boot: the
//!    box could not be reached to be given its first key, and the only way in
//!    was `gunnar key add` with the server down, which needs a shell the
//!    appliance does not have. It now starts and serves `Bootstrap.Enroll`
//!    until somebody uses it — see `gunnar_grpc::service::bootstrap`.
//! 2. **gRPC binds loopback unless told otherwise**, and says so at startup
//!    whatever it binds.
//!
//! # Two listeners, and now two runtimes
//!
//! Separate listeners separate the *ports*. They did not separate the *schedulers*, and that
//! turned out to be most of what the separation was for.
//!
//! `ControlPlane` is a synchronous trait — `gunnar-grpc`'s `seam.rs` says so,
//! and says the backend belongs behind `spawn_blocking` "at the call site" —
//! and no call site does it. `Admin.StorageInfo` runs an unbounded recursive
//! `std::fs::read_dir` that `stat`s every loose object in the repository,
//! straight from its `async fn`, on a worker thread. `Repos.Create` opens a git
//! directory and replays an arrow log. While both listeners shared one runtime,
//! a handful of concurrent control-plane calls occupied every worker and the SSH
//! listener's accept, handshake and exec dispatch simply did not run. The loopback default leaves
//! the control port unauthenticated, so that was reachable on purpose as well as
//! by accident.
//!
//! **The control plane therefore gets its own runtime**, built here, with its
//! own worker threads and its own blocking pool. Two properties follow that
//! thirty `spawn_blocking` wrappers would not have given:
//!
//! * it holds for *every* control-plane call, including ones written later by
//!   somebody who never read `seam.rs`. The fix is by construction rather than a
//!   convention thirty call sites have to keep (one implementation);
//! * a control plane that stalls completely degrades the control plane only. Git
//!   keeps being served.
//!
//! The gRPC listener is bound **on** that runtime rather than handed to it: a
//! tokio socket registers with the I/O driver of the runtime that created it,
//! and one whose driver belongs to a runtime that is shutting down is a stall
//! waiting to happen. `tests/control_plane_starvation.rs` measures the whole
//! thing from an OS thread outside both runtimes.

        // the operator did not have to do.
        //
        // **Before anything binds, and before the control plane's runtime is
        // built.** Two reasons:
        //
        // 1. `--grpc-tls-self` is a one-way door for everybody who cannot
        //    complete the handshake afterwards, and exactly one state makes

        //    naming the cause, never a listener that came up — the same
        //    discipline `--http-tls-*` already follows.
        // 2. **A `?` past the control runtime is an appliance that will not
        //    boot.** `ControlRuntime`'s own docs record the measurement: that
        //    `Runtime` is built bare inside this function and dropping one on
        //    an async stack panics, and on the appliance gunnar is PID 1, so
        //    the panic is `Attempted to kill init`. The first draft of this

        //    `tests/tls_transition.rs` failed with exactly that panic instead
        //    of the refusal it was asserting. That test is the guard that it
        //    does not move back.
