lib.rs

1//! rightkit-daemon: the one discovery and authentication convention for local
2//! Right Suite services (the shared speech service, the in-app control server,
3//! `right-ctl`).
4//!
5//! * **Discovery** - `<suite>/runtime/<service>/service.json`, written
6//!   atomically after the endpoint is listening, removed on clean exit. A
7//!   record whose endpoint does not answer is stale and ignored.
8//! * **Ranking and takeover** - one host per service per suite. A would-be host
9//!   that outranks the incumbent (lower rank wins) writes `takeover.json`; the
10//!   incumbent stops admitting work, finishes or hands off in-flight requests
11//!   with the retryable [`ERROR_HOST_HANDOFF`] at their next boundary, and
12//!   releases. Clients re-read discovery and resubmit. The incumbent looks for a
13//!   request from another process once a second (a stat of `takeover.json`, no
14//!   thread polls faster), so a takeover starts up to about a second after the
15//!   request is written.
16//! * **Authentication** - no TCP and no bearer tokens. Unix: a socket in a 0700
17//!   directory, mode 0600, and the kernel-reported peer uid (`getpeereid` on macOS
18//!   and the BSDs, `SO_PEERCRED` on Linux) checked on every accept and by every
19//!   client ([`verify_peer_is_current_user`]); a platform that cannot check refuses
20//!   every peer. Windows: a named pipe whose DACL grants only the current user's SID
21//!   ([`owner_only_security_attributes`]), remote clients rejected, first-instance
22//!   flag set against name squatting, a bounded instance count
23//!   ([`HostOptions::max_pipe_instances`]), the client's process-token SID checked on
24//!   every accept, and clients opening with `SECURITY_IDENTIFICATION` and checking
25//!   the server's SID. See the README threat model.
26//! * **Verifying the host** - the transport proves a host runs as the current user, not which
27//!   program it is. [`Client::connect_expecting`] takes a [`HostExpectation`] (the executable the
28//!   host may be, for example a sibling inside the client's own app bundle), asks the kernel who
29//!   is on the listening end of the connected socket (macOS `LOCAL_PEERPID` and `proc_pidpath`,
30//!   Linux `SO_PEERCRED` and `/proc/<pid>/exe`), and refuses anyone else with a typed
31//!   [`HostIdentityError`] before the `hello` or any request is written. [`Client::connect`] stays
32//!   unauthenticated-host. [`ClientConfig::ignore_env_overrides`] makes the suite root come only
33//!   from the account database, so a launcher's environment cannot redirect a release client.
34//!   See the README, "Verifying the host".
35//! * **Per-app request allowlist** - each client names its app in `hello`; an
36//!   app may call only the methods listed for it (the generalisation of
37//!   HeardRight's `SERVICE_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS`). The app label is an allowlist key,
38//!   not a security boundary against code already running as the same user.
39//! * **Fail-closed roots** - [`Suite::resolve`] errors when no absolute
40//!   app-data root can be determined; it never falls back to the working
41//!   directory. [`Suite::per_run_temp`] is the explicit opt-in alternative.
42//!
43//! Wire format: bounded JSON lines (`rightkit-sidecar`), the same frames
44//! as the `rightkit-job-queue` engine contract:
45//! `hello`, `request{id,method,params}`, `event{id,event}`, `response{id,ok,result|error}`.
