Messages from primary to replica.

Variants

StreamStart

Fields

start_sequence: u64

segment_start_sequence: u64

Header identity for the journal segment a fresh replica should create before consuming the stream: the segment’s starting_sequence and chain anchor_hash. For full catch-up this is the primary’s oldest segment (lineage origin); after a snapshot transfer it is snap_sequence + 1 anchored to the snapshot’s chain hash. Replicas with existing local state ignore it.

anchor_hash: [u8; 32]

epoch: u64

The primary’s current fencing epoch. A replica that already observed a higher epoch refuses to follow this (stale) primary; a replica behind it adopts the epoch as the stream’s EpochBumps replay. See crate::fence.

durability_mode: u8

The primary’s active durability (acking) mode, in the server-runtime DurabilityMode::as_u8 encoding — opaque at this layer. Refreshed by every Heartbeat; the replica’s auto-promotion refusal reads the last-observed value, so it judges the mode the dead primary actually acked under instead of its own locally-configured one.

NeedSnapshot

HashMismatch

SnapshotBegin

Start of a snapshot transfer. Sent after NeedSnapshot.

Fields

snapshot_len: u64

Total snapshot file size in bytes.

snap_sequence: u64

Journal sequence at which the snapshot was taken.

snap_chain_hash: [u8; 32]

BLAKE3 chain hash at the snapshot point.

SnapshotChunk(Vec<u8>)

A chunk of snapshot data. Sent repeatedly after SnapshotBegin.

SnapshotEnd

End of snapshot transfer. Contains CRC32C of the entire snapshot file.

Fields

crc32c: u32

Heartbeat

Fields

sequence: u64

durability_mode: u8

See StreamStart::durability_mode — heartbeats keep the replica’s view current across runtime DURABILITY retunes.

Rotate

Primary-driven segment rotation. Sent in-stream, after the last entry of the outgoing segment (boundary_seq) and before the first entry of the new one. The replica rotates its own journal at exactly this boundary, and tail_hash — the primary’s chain value at boundary_seq, which is also the new segment’s header anchor — doubles as a divergence check: a healthy replica’s own tail equals it. Replicas never rotate on local triggers; shared boundaries are what make chain values comparable across nodes (and healthy replica journals bitwise mirrors of the primary’s).

Fields

boundary_seq: u64

tail_hash: [u8; 32]

ChainCheck

Live-stream chain validation. chain_hash is the primary’s chain value at sequence (an fsync-batch boundary); the replica compares its own value at that sequence and treats a mismatch as divergence. Extends the handshake-time check to the live stream, catching corruption that creeps in mid-session.

Fields

sequence: u64

chain_hash: [u8; 32]

SegmentSeedBegin

Start of a segment-seed transfer: the raw byte prefix (file header through the snapshot’s last entry) of the primary segment containing snap_sequence + 1. Sent between the snapshot transfer and the post-snapshot StreamStart; the body rides SnapshotChunk frames and ends with a SnapshotEnd carrying the seed’s CRC32C. Writing it verbatim as the replica’s live segment makes the replica’s segmentation a byte-copy of the primary’s from birth, so chain values are comparable (and Rotate verification holds) with no alignment grace period.

Fields

seed_len: u64

Total seed length in bytes (file header included).
