service.rs

1//! The shared plugin-platform seam (`service` feature): everything a plugin daemon
2//! (kb, loc, …) needs to face the platform, extracted from the kb/loc byte-duplicates so
3//! each rule has ONE home:
4//!
5//! - UDS faces: [`ensure_private_dir`] + [`bind_uds`] + [`check_peer_uid`] (0700
6//!   symlink-refused owned runtime dir, 0600 socket, same-uid gate). The mcpmesh daemon's
7//!   own control socket (`cli/src/ipc.rs`) binds through the SAME rule.
8//! - THE audience-authz expansion: [`peer_audiences`] — `groups ∪ {eid} ∪ {user_id}`,
9//!   default-deny. The single implementation both kb and loc gate on.
10//! - `[services.*]` self-registration: [`register_service`] (empty allowlist; failures
11//!   logged, never silently swallowed).
12//! - `*-local/1` JSON-RPC conventions: [`ok`]/[`err`]/[`reply`]/[`internal`], the strict
13//!   [`required_string_array`] param parse, and [`people_from_status`].
14//! - the `*-local/1` Hello first frame: [`send_hello`].
15//!
16//! Deliberately NOT here: mcpmesh control-endpoint resolution. That is the featureless
17//! [`crate::paths`] rule ([`crate::paths::default_endpoint`]) — ONE home for daemon, CLI,
18//! and plugins, correct on both platforms (a named pipe on windows, never a joined
19//! filesystem path).
20//!
21//! Deliberately NOT extracted (KISS until a third plugin proves the abstraction): state
22//! models, Paths structs, tool dispatch/specs, fan-out policy, and each plugin's MCP
23//! session skeleton in `remote.rs`.

71/// `peer_audiences = peer.groups ∪ {peer.eid} ∪ {peer.user_id}` — THE ONE
72/// implementation of the caller-audience expansion every plugin gates on (kb re-exports it
73/// as `effective_audiences`). An absent/empty peer yields an EMPTY set — default deny.
74///
75/// Never trusts a self-asserted value: the whole peer object is the platform-injected,
76/// forge-proof `_meta["mcpmesh/peer"]` (the mcpmesh daemon authoritatively OVERWRITES it, so
77/// `groups`/`user_id` can't be caller-forged).
78///
79/// `user_id` is the person's self-sovereign id (`b64u:<user_pk>`, present once a device→user
80/// binding is verified — pairing OR roster). Including it means content shared to a PERSON
81/// reaches ALL their devices (each presents the same verified user_id under a distinct
82/// nickname), whereas `eid` (the stable device principal) scopes to one device and `groups`
83/// to a roster set — three legitimate granularities.
84///
85/// Re-keyed on stable identity in 0.8.0 (#38): the platform injection carries the device
86/// `eid:` principal and the display `name` is NEVER an audience — the identity hardening
87/// this doc long promised, landed here, once.
