Canonical manifest entity — unified v1/v2 format.

Deserializes both old (v1, no manifest_version) and new (v2) manifests. All v2-only fields use #[serde(default)] so that v1 manifests parse correctly without any field changes.

Fields

manifest_version: u8

Schema version. Absent or 1 = legacy v1; 2 = extended v2.

name: String

version: String

app_type: AppType

description: String

abi: Option<AbiVersion>

Host ABI compatibility version. Required when manifest_version == 2.

entrypoint: Option<String>

Payload entry point relative to the app directory. Default: app.so for Native, dist/index.js for Bun.

hot_reload: Option<HotReloadKind>

Hot-reload behaviour classification. Default: experimental for Native, supported for Bun.

critical: bool

auto_start: bool

has_ui: bool

ui_path: String

permissions: Vec<String>

requires: Vec<String>

Capability requirements in the v2 top-level vocabulary. This is an alias for capabilities.requires, not a second permission system.

optional_permissions: Vec<String>

provides_scopes: Vec<ProvidedScope>

endpoint_policies: Vec<EndpointPolicy>

capability_scopes: HashMap<String, String>

provides: HashMap<String, ProvidedCapability>

capabilities: ManifestCapabilities

ui: Option<AppUiManifest>

App-delivered browser UI metadata. Legacy has_ui/ui_path remains readable but does not synthesize this block.

author: Option<String>

homepage: Option<String>

depends_on: Option<Vec<String>>

boot_priority: Option<u32>

governor: Option<GovernorManifest>

App-governor idle-termination policy (issue #811 SP1). Absent means the app is subject to the default eligibility rules with no explicit opt-out and no minimum-idle override.

subscribes: Vec<String>

Event-bus topics this app listens for while lazily started. Only meaningful for apps holding the EVENT_LISTENER capability — a listener with no declared subscribes topics is exempt from idle termination because the governor cannot know what would need to wake it back up (see node-app-host::governor_eligibility).

standalone: Option<StandaloneConfig>

Required when app_type == "standalone" and the manifest declares any provides / capabilities.provides entries. Carries the Unix domain socket path the daemon dispatches capability calls to.

tcp: Option<TcpManifest>

Optional TCP-binding block — feature 470 (port registry). Absence means the app does not bind a TCP port the registry manages.

Implementations

impl AppManifest

pub fn resolved_requires(&self) -> Result<Vec<String>, String>

Resolve top-level requires and capabilities.requires into one canonical declaration list. Equal aliases are accepted regardless of order or duplicates; differing aliases are rejected.

pub fn effective_hot_reload(&self) -> HotReloadKind

Returns the effective HotReloadKind — explicit field or the default for the app type.

pub fn effective_entrypoint(&self) -> &str

Returns the effective entrypoint — explicit field or the type-specific default.

Standalone apps have no daemon-managed entrypoint (systemd owns the lifecycle); the empty string signals “not applicable”.

pub fn has_capability_providers(&self) -> bool

True iff this manifest declares at least one capability provider (via either the v1 provides map or the v2 capabilities.provides list).

pub fn resolved_capability_provides( &self, ) -> HashMap<String, ProvidedCapability>

Merges the v1 provides map and the v2 capabilities.provides name list into a single capability→declaration map (composition-root cleanup Round 4 T28 — extracted from control_ipc::handlers::handle_app_register_standalone, which uses this to shape a standalone app’s declared providers for capability registration).

• v1 entries (the provides map) carry their real description/schema and always win on a name conflict.
• v2-only names (declared only via capabilities.provides, format "name" or "name:extra" — only the part before the first : is used) get a blank declaration, inserted only if the name is not already present from v1. Blank/whitespace-only names are skipped.

pub fn validate(&self) -> Result<(), String>

Validate the manifest for structural correctness.

Returns Ok(()) on success, or a human-readable error string. Called by the manifest parser after deserialization.

pub fn validate_with_socket_path_policy( &self, allow_non_run: bool, ) -> Result<(), String>

Validate this manifest with an explicit standalone socket-path policy.

Runtime adapters may opt into non-/run paths for development without making the domain model read process configuration.

pub fn from_json(json: &str) -> Result<Self, String>

Parse from a JSON string, validate, and return the manifest.

pub fn from_json_with_socket_path_policy( json: &str, allow_non_run: bool, ) -> Result<Self, String>

Parse and validate with an explicit standalone socket-path policy.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for AppManifest

fn clone(&self) -> AppManifest

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for AppManifest

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for AppManifest

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for AppManifest

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
