Resolved filesystem layout for one shep home

All paths are derived from $SHEP_HOME (default <home>/.shep); nothing here touches the filesystem. The root itself is created by the CLI’s own ensure_home, for the commands that need it before any daemon exists (startup above all), and everything under it by shep_daemon::boot::init_dirs on each boot.

Fields

home: PathBuf

Root: $SHEP_HOME

daemon_config: PathBuf

Daemon config: shep.toml

dogs_config: PathBuf

A dog’s own settings: dogs.toml

Separate from Self::daemon_config rather than a section inside it, so lookout can write a dog’s config without writing into the daemon’s own hand-authored file.

snapshot: PathBuf

Flock snapshot (muster roll): flock.json

logs: PathBuf

Log directory

pids: PathBuf

Pid-file directory

run: PathBuf

Runtime dir (sockets; created 0700)

socket: PathBuf

The control address the client dials and the daemon answers on.

Unix: a filesystem path, run/shep.sock, naming a real AF_UNIX socket file. Windows: Self::pipe_name, path-shaped but naming an object in the kernel’s pipe namespace, not a file on any volume. Never derive a directory from this field: socket.parent() is meaningless on Windows. A pipe has no directory entry to watch, so “has the daemon gone” needs a connect attempt there, not Path::exists.

barks: PathBuf

Bark history ring: barks.jsonl

kv: PathBuf

Key/value store: kv.json

overrides: PathBuf

Operator override store: overrides.json

Implementations

impl ShepPaths

pub fn pipe_name(&self) -> String

Windows named-pipe identity for this home: \\.\pipe\shep-<sanitized>-<digest>

The sanitized stem is not unique alone: \, :, ., _ and a literal - all collapse to -, so C:\a\b and C:\a-b sanitize to one string. The digest of the full home path is what keeps two homes distinct; without it a collision would not error, it would refuse the second daemon as already running and let its CLI drive the first home’s flock.

Changing this derivation breaks any already-running daemon: it stays bound under a name a client built afterward would never dial.

pub fn resolve(env: &dyn Fn(&str) -> Option<String>, home_dir: &Path) -> Self

Resolves the layout from an environment lookup and the user’s home dir

Self::socket resolves per-platform: a socket file under run/ on unix, Self::pipe_name on Windows. Everything else is identical.
