stackpatrol-core

Shared types and protocol definitions for the StackPatrol CLI and control plane.

You almost certainly don't want to depend on this crate directly. It only exists to keep the public CLI (stackpatrol) and the private control-plane backend speaking the same wire format. If you're trying to monitor a server, install stackpatrol — it pulls this crate in automatically.

What's in here

• event::Event — tagged enum describing every event the CLI can emit (Heartbeat, ServiceDown, ResourceCritical, etc.). Serialized as JSON with #[serde(tag = "kind")].
• event::EventEnvelope — the wrapper the CLI POSTs to the control plane: server identity + timestamp + Event.
• token::validate — the sp_live_… token shape used to authenticate a server with the control plane.

No I/O, no async runtime, no HTTP client. Just types.

Stability

Pre-release. The wire format will change between minor versions until v1 (target: 2026-07). Adding or renaming an Event variant is a breaking change for anything deserializing these payloads.
