ikigai_script/
authority.rs

1//! The three authorities, never merged — and the one computation that decides what a run
2//! may touch.
3//!
4//! 1. **Publish or change**: `urn:cap:script:write:{name}`, and `urn:cap:script:delete:{name}`
5//!    to retire.
6//! 2. **Run**: `urn:cap:script:run:{name}`. A **public** script is also runnable by any
7//!    holder of [`CAP_RUN_PUBLIC`], which is the grant a host gives its anonymous
8//!    principal.
9//! 3. **Runs as**: what [`effective`] computes, applied to the runner's own capability by
10//!    attenuation. Never minted.
11//!
12//! Reading a script without running it is a fourth scope, `urn:cap:script:read:{name}`
13//! (or [`CAP_READ_PUBLIC`] for a public, published script): source code is not the same
14//! sensitivity as running it, the same split `ikigai-ledger` draws between read and write.
15//!
16//! # Runs as: the least of four
17//!
18//! A run executes under
19//!
20//! ```text
21//! runner.attenuate( { s in declared : s in granted-at-publish and ceiling.allows(s) }
22//!                   + the publisher's exclusions + the ceiling's exclusions )
23//! ```
24//!
25//! - **declared**: what the script says it needs (`requires=` at publish), plus the
26//!   capability its LANGUAGE needs (`urn:cap:lisp` for Lisp), because evaluating code is
27//!   itself authority.
28//! - **granted at publish**: the part of `declared` the publisher held when they published.
29//!   **A publish that declares a scope the publisher does not hold is REFUSED** with a typed
30//!   `Denied` naming the scopes. Narrowing silently instead would store a script whose
31//!   `requires` says one thing and whose runs get another, and the manifold would lie.
32//!   The snapshot is still stored and still intersected, so a hand edit of ONE record (a
33//!   version's `requires`, say, in a [`crate::DirBackend`] file) cannot widen a run past
34//!   the other. Editing both is the host operator's act — the same trust as the ceiling
35//!   files — and the ceiling bounds every run whatever the records say.
36//! - **the host's ceiling** for this script ([`Ceiling`], from the host's
37//!   `<config home>/script-authority/{name}`): the host decides, never the script.
38//! - **the runner's own capability**: [`Capability::attenuate`] keeps a grant only when the
39//!   runner holds it, so a run never exceeds the intersection of runner and script.
40//!
41//! **Exclusions travel.** A publisher who holds `urn:cap:fs:read:/root` together with the
42//! exclusion `urn:cap:fs:read:-/root/secret` could not read the secret, so neither can the
43//! script, whoever runs it: every exclusion the publisher held is stored with the version's
44//! grant and handed to `attenuate`, which keeps a requested exclusion (it only narrows).
45//! The ceiling's exclusions travel the same way.
46//!

415/// A declared family keeps the publisher's grants under it that the ceiling allows; when
416/// the publisher was root it keeps the family itself, a marker the SPARQL run expands
417/// into exact grants (each checked against the ceiling and the runner) before anything
418/// is attenuated, because attenuation keeps grants by exact name.
