Module daemon 

Long-lived SSH agent daemon.

Implements the server side of the SSH agent wire protocol on top of ssh_agent_lib. Keys are held in-memory only, wrapped in types that zeroize on drop; nothing is ever persisted to disk.

Transports

• Unix — binds a Unix domain socket at config.socket_path with mode 0600. SIGTERM and SIGINT trigger graceful shutdown.
• Windows — creates a named pipe at config.socket_path (conventionally \\.\pipe\gitway-agent). Ctrl+C triggers graceful shutdown; the pipe object is released automatically when the server handle drops.

On shutdown the stored keys are zeroed via KeyStore’s Drop, the pid file is removed, and (on Unix) the socket inode is unlinked.

Signing support

The daemon accepts Add for keys of every algorithm Gitway’s keygen can produce (Ed25519, ECDSA P-256/384/521, RSA 2048..16384) and signs with all of them. Ed25519 and the three ECDSA curves go through ssh-key’s built-in Signer<Signature> trait; RSA routes directly to rsa::pkcs1v15::SigningKey<ShaN> with the digest picked from SignRequest.flags — rsa-sha2-512 when RSA_SHA2_512 is set, rsa-sha2-256 when RSA_SHA2_256 is set. Requests with neither flag (legacy SHA-1 ssh-rsa) are rejected: OpenSSH 8.2+ and modern Git hosts always request SHA-2.

Example

use std::path::PathBuf;
use gitway_lib::agent::daemon::{AgentDaemonConfig, run};

let cfg = AgentDaemonConfig {
    socket_path: PathBuf::from("/tmp/gitway-agent.sock"),
    pid_file: None,
    default_ttl: None,
};
run(cfg).await?;

Structs

Functions
