# ENC Dev Docs

## Production Deployment Guide

Deploy an ENC node to Cloudflare Workers.

### Prerequisites

* [Cloudflare account](https://dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up)
* [Wrangler CLI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/install-and-update/) authenticated
  ```bash
  npx wrangler login
  ```
* Node built (see [local.md](local.md))
  ```bash
  yarn build:js
  ```

### 1. Generate node keypair

Every node needs a secp256k1 keypair. The private key signs tree heads (STH) and manifest commits. The public key is the node's identity — clients use it to verify STH signatures.

```bash
yarn keygen
```

Output:

```
NODE_PRIVATE_KEY=<64 hex chars>
NODE_PUBLIC_KEY=<64 hex chars>
```

Save the private key. You will set it as a Cloudflare secret. The public key is returned to clients when they create enclaves (`seq_pub` field).

### 2. Set the secret

```bash
npx wrangler secret put NODE_PRIVATE_KEY
```

Paste the 64-character hex private key when prompted. This is stored encrypted in Cloudflare — it never appears in your code or config files.

### 3. Configure wrangler.toml

The default config deploys to `enc-node.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev`:

```toml
name = "enc-node"
main = "js/node/worker/index.js"
compatibility_date = "2024-01-01"
workers_dev = true

[durable_objects]
bindings = [
  { name = "ENCLAVE", class_name = "EnclaveDO" }
]

[[migrations]]
tag = "v1"
new_sqlite_classes = ["EnclaveDO"]
```

To change the worker name (and thus the URL), edit the `name` field.

To use a custom domain, add:

```toml
routes = [
  { pattern = "node.yourdomain.com", custom_domain = true }
]
```

### 4. Deploy

```bash
yarn deploy
```

Output:

```
Total Upload: ~213 KiB / gzip: ~50 KiB
Worker Startup Time: 5 ms
Uploaded enc-node
Deployed enc-node triggers
  https://enc-node.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
```

### 5. Verify deployment

#### Health check

```bash
curl https://enc-node.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev/
```

Expected: `{"error":"invalid_route","message":"Expected POST / or /enclave/:id[/:action]"}` — this confirms the worker is running (the root route is not a valid endpoint).

#### Create an enclave

```bash
curl -X POST https://enc-node.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev/create-enclave \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "manifest": {
      "enc_v": 2,
      "nonce": 1,
      "RBAC": {
        "use_temp": "none",
        "schema": [
          {"event": "post", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C","U","D"]},
          {"event": "*", "role": "Public", "ops": ["R"]}
        ],
        "states": [],
        "traits": ["owner(0)"],
        "initial_state": {"owner": ["YOUR_PUB_KEY_HEX"]}
      }
    }
  }'
```

Expected: `{"enclave_id":"...64 hex chars...","seq_pub":"...node public key..."}`

### API reference

#### Endpoints

| Method | Path                                       | Auth          | Description                                        |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| POST   | `/create-enclave`                          | None          | Create new enclave with manifest                   |
| POST   | `/`                                        | Signed commit | Submit commit (detected by `exp` field)            |
| POST   | `/`                                        | None          | Pull events (`type: "Pull"`, `after_seq`, `limit`) |
| POST   | `/`                                        | ECDH          | Query events (`type: "Query"`, encrypted)          |

#### Commit format

Commits are submitted as POST to `/` with the `exp` field present:

```json
{
  "enclave": "64-hex-enclave-id",
  "from": "64-hex-public-key",
  "type": "post",
  "content": "{\"body\":\"hello\"}",
  "content_hash": "64-hex",
  "hash": "64-hex",
  "exp": 1700000000000,
  "tags": [],
  "sig": "128-hex-schnorr-signature"
}
```

Use `mkCommit()` and `signCommit()` from `sdk/core/event.js` to construct these.

#### Pull format (unauthenticated)

```json
{
  "enclave": "64-hex-enclave-id",
  "type": "Pull",
  "after_seq": -1,
  "limit": 100
}
```

#### STH response

```json
{
  "t": 1700000000000,
  "ts": 42,
  "r": "64-hex-root-hash",
  "sig": "128-hex-schnorr-signature"
}
```

Fields: `t` = timestamp, `ts` = tree size, `r` = root hash, `sig` = Schnorr signature over `(t, ts, r)`.

Verify with: `verifySTH(t, ts, hexToBytes(r), sig, nodePublicKeyBytes)` from `sdk/core/crypto.js`.

#### RBAC manifest format

```json
{
  "enc_v": 2,
  "nonce": 1234567890,
  "RBAC": {
    "use_temp": "none",
    "schema": [
      {"event": "post", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C", "U", "D"]},
      {"event": "post", "role": "Sender", "ops": ["U", "D"]},
      {"event": "*", "role": "Public", "ops": ["R"]},
      {"event": "Grant(admin)", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C"]},
      {"event": "Revoke(admin)", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C"]},
      {"event": "Pause", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C"]},
      {"event": "Resume", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C"]},
      {"event": "Terminate", "role": "owner", "ops": ["C"]}
    ],
    "states": ["MEMBER"],
    "traits": ["owner(0)", "admin(1)"],
    "initial_state": {"owner": ["64-hex-owner-pubkey"]}
  }
}
```

* **schema**: RBAC rules. `event` is the commit type, `role` is the identity's role, `ops` is allowed operations (C=create, R=read, U=update, D=delete).
* **states**: Named states (mutually exclusive). Identities are in exactly one state.
* **traits**: Named traits with bit positions. `owner(0)` means the "owner" trait is at bit offset 0 from `FIRST_TRAIT_BIT`. Identities can have multiple traits.
* **initial\_state**: Map of trait names to lists of public keys that start with that trait.
* **Grant/Revoke**: Use `Grant(traitName)` as the event type with `{identity: "pubkey"}` as content. Must be explicitly permitted in the schema.

### Updating

To redeploy after code changes:

```bash
yarn build:js          # regenerate JS from Lean
yarn deploy            # push to Cloudflare
```

Durable Object state (enclaves, events, SMT, CT) persists across deployments. The SQLite storage in each Durable Object is not affected by redeployments.

### Multiple nodes

To deploy multiple nodes (e.g., staging + production):

```bash
# Staging
npx wrangler deploy --name enc-node-staging

# Production
npx wrangler deploy --name enc-node

# Each needs its own NODE_PRIVATE_KEY
npx wrangler secret put NODE_PRIVATE_KEY --name enc-node-staging
npx wrangler secret put NODE_PRIVATE_KEY --name enc-node
```

### Monitoring

View real-time logs:

```bash
npx wrangler tail
```

## Local Build and Test Guide

### Prerequisites

#### Required

* **Node.js 20+** and **Yarn**
* **Lean 4** via [elan](https://github.com/leanprover/elan)
  ```bash
  curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leanprover/elan/master/elan-init.sh -sSf | sh
  ```

#### Optional (for cross-impl tests)

* **Rust** via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)
  ```bash
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
  ```
* **wasm-pack** (for WASM target)
  ```bash
  cargo install wasm-pack
  ```

### Setup

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/enc-protocol/impl-node.git
cd impl-node
yarn install
```

If you already cloned without `--recurse-submodules`:

```bash
git submodule update --init
```

### Build

#### Generate JS from Lean (required before testing)

```bash
yarn build:js
```

This does two things:

1. `lake build` — type-checks all 259 theorems, compiles the codegen binary
2. `lean --run Gen.lean` — generates 19 JS files into `sdk/core/`, `sdk/client/`, `js/node/`

First build takes \~2 minutes (downloads Lean dependencies). Subsequent builds take \~3 seconds.

#### Build Rust (optional)

```bash
yarn build:rs
```

Compiles `rs/` with cargo. Required for Rust cross-impl tests.

#### Build WASM (optional)

```bash
yarn build:wasm
```

Runs `wasm-pack build` on `rs/`, outputs to `wasm/` (\~92KB). Required for WASM cross-impl tests.

#### Build everything

```bash
yarn build          # JS + Rust + WASM
```

### Test

#### Core tests (no server needed)

```bash
yarn test:pure         # 62 tests — crypto, RBAC, SMT, CT, events
yarn test:property     # 27 tests — randomized protocol properties
yarn test:verifier     # 35 tests — independent signature verification
yarn test:mutation     # 16 mutations — all killed
```

#### Node tests (spawns local wrangler automatically)

```bash
yarn test:node         # 95 tests — full protocol conformance
yarn test:concurrent   # 9 tests — parallel commit processing
yarn test:fuzz         # 31 tests — adversarial inputs
yarn test:persistence  # 6 tests — state survives restart
yarn test:coverage     # 31 tests — migration, gates, sessions, bundles
```

These tests start a local `wrangler dev` instance, run the tests, and shut it down. You don't need to start wrangler manually.

#### Cross-implementation tests

```bash
yarn test:cross        # 29 Rust + 17 WASM — byte-identical output
yarn test:rs           # 25 Rust unit tests
```

#### Run everything

```bash
yarn test:all          # All JS tests + cross-impl + Rust
```

### Local development server

Start a local node:

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

This starts the Cloudflare Worker locally at `http://localhost:8787`. You need to set the `NODE_PRIVATE_KEY` secret first:

```bash
# Generate a keypair
yarn keygen

# Set it for local dev (add to .dev.vars file)
echo 'NODE_PRIVATE_KEY = "your_64_hex_private_key"' > .dev.vars
```

Then start the server:

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

#### Test against local node

Create an enclave:

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/create-enclave \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"manifest": {"enc_v": 2, "nonce": 1, "RBAC": {"use_temp": "none", "schema": [{"event": "*", "role": "Public", "ops": ["C","R"]}], "states": [], "traits": [], "initial_state": {}}}}'
```

Submit a commit (requires SDK — see `test/node.test.js` for examples).

### Verify proofs

```bash
cd spec/spec-lean && lake build
```

This type-checks all 259 theorems. If any proof uses `sorry`, it fails. The build succeeds only if every theorem is kernel-checked.

### Project structure

```
package.json          — build and test scripts
wrangler.toml         — Cloudflare Worker config
.dev.vars             — local dev secrets (not committed)

spec/                 — Lean specification (git submodule → impl-spec)
sdk/core/             — 6 generated protocol files
sdk/client/           — 6 generated client SDK files
js/node/              — 5 generated server files + 2 worker templates
rs/             — Rust implementation
wasm/             — WASM binary output
test/                 — all test suites
docs/                 — guides and audits
```


## Verification Manifest

Deterministic hash chain from Lean spec → codegen → generated code → deployed node.

**Spec tag:** `v0.2.0`
**Node:** [https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev](https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev)
**Date:** 2026-04-22

### Verification chain

```
Lean Spec (259 theorems)  →  DSL Codegen (55 proofs)  →  Generated JS (19 files)  →  Deployed
     sha256: 564cfc7e           sha256: 649573bd            sha256: see below         wrangler deploy
```

To verify: clone, build, compare hashes.

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/enc-protocol/impl-node.git
cd impl-node
cd spec/spec-lean && git checkout v0.2.0 && cd ../..
yarn build:js
# Compare hashes below against the generated output
```

### Layer hashes

Composite hashes (SHA-256 of all per-file SHA-256 hashes in sorted order):

```

### How to verify

```bash
# 1. Verify proofs compile (259 theorems, 0 sorry)
cd spec/spec-lean && lake build

# 2. Regenerate JS from Lean
lake env lean --run Enc/Gen.lean

# 3. Compare hashes
cd ../..
sha256sum sdk/core/*.js | sort -k2
sha256sum js/node/*.js js/node/worker/*.js | sort -k2

# 4. If hashes match → deployed code is the proven code
```

### Cross-implementation verification

The same protocol logic compiled to Rust and WASM produces byte-identical output:

```bash
yarn test:cross    # 46 tests: 29 JS↔Rust + 17 JS↔WASM
```

Same inputs → same SHA-256 → same Schnorr signatures → same event IDs → same state.


## @enc-protocol/app-store

App store for Android APKs and Chrome extensions on Cloudflare Workers. Ed25519 auth — only you can publish.

**Live:** [https://app-store.ocrybit.workers.dev](https://app-store.ocrybit.workers.dev)

### Install

```bash
npm install @enc-protocol/app-store --registry https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev
```

### CLI

```bash
# Publish an APK
npx enc-app-store publish ./app.apk \
  --id com.enc.myapp --name "My App" --version 1.0.0 \
  --author enc-protocol --description "An awesome app"

# Publish a Chrome extension
npx enc-app-store publish ./extension.zip \
  --id com.enc.myext --name "My Extension" --version 1.0.0 \
  --platform chrome

# List all apps
npx enc-app-store list

# Remove an app
npx enc-app-store unpublish com.enc.myapp

# Remove a specific version
npx enc-app-store unpublish com.enc.myapp --version 1.0.0
```

Platform is auto-detected from file extension (`.apk` → android, `.zip`/`.crx` → chrome).

Auth key defaults to `keys/org.key` — use `--key <path>` to override.

### SDK

```ts
import { publish, signToken, listApps, getApp, unpublish } from '@enc-protocol/app-store'

const token = await signToken(privateKeyHex)

await publish('./app.apk', token, {
  id: 'com.enc.myapp',
  name: 'My App',
  version: '1.0.0',
})

const apps = await listApps()
```

### Server Setup

```bash
npm run keygen       # generate Ed25519 keypair
npm run dev          # start on http://localhost:8788
```

Add the generated public key to `.dev.vars`:

```
ORG_PUBLIC_KEY=<hex from keygen output>
```

### API

## @enc-protocol npm registry

Private npm registry for `@enc-protocol/*` packages. Runs on a single Cloudflare Worker + KV namespace. Auth via Ed25519 signed tokens.

**Live:** [https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev](https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev)

### Setup

```bash
npm install
npm run keygen
```

This generates an Ed25519 keypair in `keys/`. Add the public key to `.dev.vars`:

```
ORG_PUBLIC_KEY=<contents of keys/org.pub>
```

### Development

```bash
npm run dev
```

Opens the registry at `http://localhost:8787`. The web UI is at the root.

### Commands

| Command              | Description                  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `npm run dev`        | Start local registry server  |
| `npm run test`       | Run all tests                |
| `npm run keygen`     | Generate Ed25519 keypair     |
| `npm run sign-token` | Generate a 1-hour auth token |
| `npm run seed`       | Publish sample packages      |
| `npm run deploy`     | Deploy to Cloudflare         |

### Deploy

```bash
npm run deploy
```

First-time setup requires creating the KV namespace and setting the secret:

```bash
npx wrangler kv namespace create PACKAGES
cat keys/org.pub | npx wrangler secret put ORG_PUBLIC_KEY
```

Update the KV `id` in `wrangler.toml` with the output from the first command.

### Publishing

Generate a token and configure npm:

```bash
npm run sign-token
```

Add to your project's `.npmrc`:

```
# production
@enc-protocol:registry=https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev/
//npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev/:_authToken=<token>

# local dev
@enc-protocol:registry=http://localhost:8787/
//localhost:8787/:_authToken=<token>
```

Then publish as usual:

```bash
npm publish
```

Tokens expire after 1 hour. Reads (install/info) don't require auth.

### Unpublish

```bash
# entire package
npm unpublish @enc-protocol/my-pkg --registry https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev/

# single version
npm unpublish @enc-protocol/my-pkg@1.0.0 --registry https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev/
```

### Installing packages

```bash
# one-time .npmrc setup
echo "@enc-protocol:registry=https://npm-registry.ocrybit.workers.dev/" >> .npmrc

# then just
npm install @enc-protocol/crypto
```

### API

All endpoints enforce `@enc-protocol/*` scope.

| Method   | Path                 | Auth | Description                  |

| `GET`    | `/package/:name`     | No   | Web UI — package detail      |
| `GET`    | `/search?q=`         | No   | Web UI — search              |
| `GET`    | `/-/ping`            | No   | Health check                 |
| `GET`    | `/:package`          | No   | Package metadata (packument) |
| `GET`    | `/:package/:version` | No   | Version metadata             |
| `GET`    | `/:package/-/:file`  | No   | Download tarball             |
| `PUT`    | `/:package`          | Yes  | Publish                      |
| `DELETE` | `/:package`          | Yes  | Unpublish entire package     |
| `DELETE` | `/:package/:version` | Yes  | Unpublish single version     |

### Auth

Auth uses Ed25519 signature verification. The token format is:

```
base64url({"sub":"@enc-protocol","iat":<unix_ts>}).<base64url(signature)>
```

The server verifies the signature against `ORG_PUBLIC_KEY`. Tokens are valid for 1 hour.

## ENC Protocol Specification

***

## 1. Overview

### Protocol Summary

**ENC** (encode, encrypt, enclave) is a protocol for building **log-based, verifiable, sovereign data structures** with **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**.

Key properties:

* **Append-only event log** — immutable sequence of finalized events
* **Verifiable state** — Sparse Merkle Tree (SMT) for RBAC and event status
* **Cryptographic proofs** — Certificate Transparency (CT) for log integrity
* **Single sequencer** — one node orders and finalizes events per enclave

### Trust Model

The ENC protocol defines two query paths with different trust properties:

#### Enclave (Source of Truth)

* Queries to the enclave node return **verifiable proofs**
* Clients can verify RBAC state, event existence, and event status (U/D) against the SMT root
* The enclave is the **final arbiter** when disputes arise

#### DataView (Convenience)

A **DataView** is a separate service that indexes, aggregates, and transforms enclave data for efficient querying.

* Clients **trust** DataView responses without cryptographic verification
* DataView is optimized for performance and flexibility, not provability
* If a client suspects incorrect data, they SHOULD verify against the enclave directly

**Data Access Methods:**

A DataView can receive enclave data through three methods, each requiring a role assignment:

| Method | Permission | Description                                                         |
| ------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Query  | R (Read)   | DataView queries the enclave directly as a member                   |
| Push   | P          | Node delivers full events to DataView proactively                   |
| Notify | N          | Node delivers lightweight notifications; DataView fetches as needed |

**Recommendation:** Applications SHOULD use DataView for routine queries and reserve direct enclave queries for:

* Dispute resolution
* High-value transactions
* Audit trails

***

## 2. Cryptographic Primitives

### Signature Schemes

The ENC protocol supports multiple signature schemes over the **secp256k1** curve. The scheme is declared by the `alg` field on commits and events.

#### Supported Algorithms

| `alg`       | Scheme  | Specification            | Signature Format       | Note                     |
| ----------- | ------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| `"schnorr"` | Schnorr | BIP-340                  | 64 bytes (R‖s)         | Default                  |
| `"ecdsa"`   | ECDSA   | SEC 1 v2 §4.1 + RFC 6979 | 64 bytes (r‖s compact) | For NFC/hardware signers |

When the `alg` field is absent, `"schnorr"` is assumed. Nodes MUST reject commits where `alg` is present but not one of the supported values. Nodes MUST NOT skip signature verification for any `alg` value.

#### Identity Key

Identity keys (`id_pub`) are always **32-byte x-only secp256k1 public keys** (BIP-340 format), regardless of which signature algorithm is used. This is the canonical identity.

To verify an ECDSA signature against an identity key, the node derives the compressed ECDSA public key: `0x02 || id_pub`. This works because BIP-340 x-only keys always have even y-coordinate, so the compressed prefix is always `0x02`.

#### Schnorr (BIP-340)

* All `schnorr(message, private_key)` operations MUST use the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
* Signatures MUST conform to BIP-340 (32-byte x-only public keys, 64-byte signatures).

**Deterministic Signing:**

All Schnorr signatures MUST be deterministic. Implementations MUST use the default nonce derivation specified in BIP-340, which derives the nonce from:

* The private key
* The message being signed
* Auxiliary randomness MUST be set to 32 zero bytes. Implementations MUST NOT use random auxiliary data.

#### ECDSA (secp256k1)

* All `ecdsa(message, private_key)` operations MUST use the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
* Signatures MUST use **compact encoding**: raw `r || s` (32 bytes each, big-endian, total 64 bytes). NOT DER encoding.
* Both `r` and `s` MUST be in the range `[1, n-1]` where `n` is the secp256k1 curve order.
* Signatures MUST use **low-s normalization** (s ≤ n/2) per BIP-62 / BIP-146.
* Signing MUST be deterministic per RFC 6979.
* The `from` field still contains the BIP-340 x-only public key (32 bytes), not the ECDSA compressed key.
* Implementations MUST use the BIP-340-adjusted private key (negated if the public point has odd y) for ECDSA signing, ensuring consistency with the `0x02 || id_pub` derivation.

#### Determinism

Both schemes produce deterministic signatures: the same message signed with the same key always produces the same signature. This ensures event IDs are deterministic and verifiable.

#### Verification

Verifiers MUST check the `alg` field and use the corresponding algorithm. Verifiers MUST NOT attempt multiple algorithms as a fallback. The verification path is always deterministic:

* `"schnorr"` (or absent): `schnorr_verify(hash, sig, from)`
* `"ecdsa"`: `ecdsa_verify(hash, sig, 0x02 || from)`

#### Sequencer and Server Signatures

The `alg` field applies only to **client signatures** (`sig`). Sequencer signatures (`seq_sig`), STH signatures, and session token signatures always use **Schnorr (BIP-340)**. Sequencers are server nodes without hardware signing constraints.

#### Security Considerations

Using the same secp256k1 private key for both Schnorr and ECDSA is safe under the following conditions, which this spec enforces:

1. **Deterministic nonce generation** — BIP-340 and RFC 6979 derive nonces from different domain-separated functions. The same `(key, message)` pair produces different nonces in each scheme, preventing nonce reuse across algorithms.
2. **No cross-algorithm forgery** — Schnorr and ECDSA have structurally different verification equations. A valid signature under one scheme cannot be reinterpreted as valid under the other.
3. **`alg` field integrity** — If `alg` is tampered in transit, signature verification fails. This is a denial-of-service (commit rejected), not a forgery.

### Hash Function

* All `sha256()` operations use SHA-256 as defined in FIPS 180-4.

### Hash Encoding

All hash pre-images MUST be serialized using **CBOR** (RFC 8949) with **deterministic encoding** before hashing.

**Canonical Hash Function:**

This specification defines:

```
H(fields...) = sha256(cbor_encode([fields...]))
```

All hash formulas in this document use `H()` implicitly. When you see:

```
sha256([0x10, enclave, from, type, content_hash, exp, tags])
```

it means:

```
sha256(cbor_encode([0x10, enclave, from, type, content_hash, exp, tags]))
```

**CBOR Encoding Rules:**

* Implementations MUST use deterministic CBOR encoding (RFC 8949 Section 4.2)
* Integer prefixes (0x00, 0x10, etc.) are encoded as CBOR unsigned integers
* Binary data (hashes, public keys) are encoded as CBOR byte strings
* Strings (content, type) are encoded as CBOR text strings (UTF-8)
* Empty string `""` is encoded as CBOR text string with length 0 (`0x60`)
* Arrays are encoded as CBOR arrays with definite length

### Hash Prefix Registry

To prevent hash collisions between different data types, all hash operations use a unique single-byte prefix:

| Prefix | Purpose                     |
| ------ | --------------------------- |
| `0x00` | CT leaf (RFC 9162)          |
| `0x01` | CT internal node (RFC 9162) |
| `0x10` | Commit hash                 |
| `0x11` | Event hash                  |
| `0x12` | Enclave ID                  |
| `0x20` | SMT leaf                    |
| `0x21` | SMT internal node           |

Prefixes `0x02`–`0x0F`, `0x13`–`0x1F`, and `0x22`–`0x2F` are reserved for future use.

**String Prefixes for Signatures:**

Signature contexts use string prefixes (not byte prefixes) for domain separation:

| Context       | Prefix String    |
| ------------- | ---------------- |
| STH signature | `"enc:sth:"`     |
| Session token | `"enc:session:"` |

String prefixes are concatenated with data before hashing: `sha256(prefix || data)`.

### Wire Format

**Transport Encoding:**

The normative wire format for v1 is **JSON**. CBOR is used only for hash computation, not transport.

**JSON Encoding:**

When serializing for transport or storage as JSON:

| Type                  | Encoding                    | Example                   |
| --------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Hash (32 bytes)       | Hex string, no prefix       | `"a1b2c3..."` (64 chars)  |
| Public key (32 bytes) | Hex string, no prefix       | `"a1b2c3..."` (64 chars)  |
| Signature (64 bytes)  | Hex string, no prefix       | `"a1b2c3..."` (128 chars) |
| Role bitmask          | Hex string with `0x` prefix | `"0x100000002"`           |
| Content               | UTF-8 string                | `"hello world"`           |
| Binary in content     | Base64 encoded              | `"SGVsbG8="`              |
| Integers              | JSON number                 | `1706000000`              |

**Consistency:** All bitmask values (State + trait flags) in JSON (event content, proofs, API responses) MUST use the `0x` hex prefix format.

**CBOR Encoding:**

When serializing for hashing or binary transport:

| Type                        | Encoding                             |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Hash, public key, signature | CBOR byte string (major type 2)      |
| Role bitmask                | CBOR unsigned integer (major type 0) |
| Content, type               | CBOR text string (major type 3)      |

## 3. Core Concepts

### Enclave

An **Enclave** is a log-based, verifiable, sovereign data structure with **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**.

An enclave maintains:

* An **append-only event log** — immutable sequence of finalized events
* A **verifiable state** (SMT) — unified tree storing RBAC state and event status
* A **structural proof** — append-only Merkle tree proving log integrity (see [Structural Proof](#structural-proof-certificate-transparency))

### Node

A **Node** is a host for one or more enclaves.

A node is responsible for:

* Storing data for enclave
* Serving queries
* Producing cryptographic proofs
* Sequencing commits into events (if acting as sequencer)

#### Sequencer Model

Each enclave has a **single sequencer** — the node responsible for ordering and finalizing commits.

**Assignment:**

* The node that accepts and finalizes the Manifest event becomes the sequencer for that enclave
* The sequencer's identity key is recorded in the Manifest event's `sequencer` field
* The sequencer is discoverable via Registry (`Reg_Enclave`)

**Responsibilities:**

* Accept valid commits and assign `seq`, `timestamp`
* Sign events with `seq_sig`
* Maintain the append-only Merkle tree
* Maintain the Enclave State SMT
* Deliver P (Push) and N (Notify) to registered recipients

**Sequencer change:**

* See [Migration](#9-migration) section for sequencer handoff protocol

**Note:** Multi-sequencer (consensus-based) models are out of scope for v1.

### Client

A **Client** is a software agent that **controls an Identity Key** by holding (or having authorized access to) the corresponding private key `id_priv`, and can **produce signatures or decrypt/encrypt** on behalf of the identity `id_pub` according to the ENC protocol.

Notes:

* A client may be an app, service, or device component.
* `id_priv` may be held directly or accessed via a secure signer (e.g., OS keystore, HSM, enclave, wallet).

### Identity Key

An **Identity Key** is a 256-bit public key (`id_pub`) used to represent an identity in the ENC protocol.

***

## 4. Event Lifecycle

### Commit

A **Commit** is a client-generated, signed message proposing an event.

A commit:

* Is authored by a client
* Is cryptographically bound to its content and metadata
* Has **not yet** been ordered or finalized by a node

#### Commit Structure

```
{
  hash: <hex64>,
  enclave: <enclave id>,
  from: <sender_id_pub>,
  type: <string>,
  content_hash: <hex64>,
  content: <string>,
  exp: <unix timestamp>,
  tags: [ <name | str1 | str2>, ... ],
  alg: <string>,
  sig: <signature over hash>
}
```

Where:

* **hash**: commitment hash of the commit fields
* **enclave**: destination enclave
* **from**: identity key of the author
* **type**: commit type, defined within the enclave scope
* **content**: payload (UTF-8 string; MAY be empty `""` for events with no payload like Pause/Resume; binary data SHOULD be base64 encoded; large binaries SHOULD use external resource URLs)
* **exp**: latest time at which the node may accept the commit (Unix epoch **milliseconds**; also acts as a nonce)
* **tags**: node-level metadata (see [Tags](#tags))
* **alg**: signature algorithm used for `sig`. One of `"schnorr"` (default) or `"ecdsa"`. MAY be omitted if `"schnorr"`.
* **sig**: signature by `from`, proving authorship

#### Commit Hash Construction

This formula applies to **ALL event types** (Manifest, Grant, Chat\_Message, etc.):

```
_content_hash = sha256(utf8_bytes(content))
hash = H(0x10, enclave, from, type, _content_hash, exp, tags)
sig = sign(hash, from_priv, alg)
```

Where `sign()` dispatches on `alg`:

* `"schnorr"` (or absent): `schnorr(hash, from_priv)` per BIP-340
* `"ecdsa"`: `ecdsa(hash, from_priv)` per RFC 6979, compact r‖s encoding

Note: `alg` is **not** included in the hash formula. The hash identifies the content commitment; the signature algorithm is how that commitment is proven.

Where `utf8_bytes()` returns the raw UTF-8 byte sequence. No Unicode normalization (NFC/NFD) is performed at the protocol level. The `content` structure varies by event type, but the hash formula is identical.

Note: `_content_hash` uses raw SHA-256 on bytes, not `H()`, because content is already a byte string.

**Binary Data in Content:**

If `content` contains binary data (e.g., images, files), the data MUST be base64-encoded before inclusion. The `content_hash` is computed over the **base64-encoded string**, not the decoded binary bytes.

Example:

* Binary data: `0x48656c6c6f` (5 bytes, "Hello")
* Base64 encoded in content: `"SGVsbG8="`
* `content_hash = sha256(utf8_bytes("SGVsbG8="))` — hash of 8 UTF-8 bytes

This ensures the hash matches what is transmitted and stored. Implementations MUST NOT decode base64 before hashing.

This establishes:

* Integrity of content
* Binding between author and intent

**Note:** `content_hash` is computed for the commit hash but is **not stored** in the finalized event. The event stores only `content`; recipients can recompute the hash if needed for verification.

**Wire Format:** The `content_hash` field is NOT transmitted. The client sends `content`; the node computes `content_hash = sha256(utf8_bytes(content))` for commit hash verification.

**Content Integrity:**

The node MUST store and serve `event.content` exactly as received in the commit — byte-for-byte, with no normalization or transformation. Any modification would invalidate the commit hash.

**Application-Level Canonicalization:**

If applications treat `content` as structured data (e.g., JSON), they MUST define their own canonical encoding rules to ensure cross-client byte-identical hashing. The protocol treats `content` as an opaque byte string.

#### Tags

Tags provide **node-level metadata** that instructs the node how to process an event.

**Key distinction:**

* **Content** — opaque to the node; the node stores and serves it without interpretation
* **Tags** — understood by the node; predefined tags trigger specific node behaviors

Unlike protocols where tags serve as query indexes, ENC data is already scoped to enclaves. Tags exist primarily to convey processing instructions to the node.

**Structure:**

Tags are an array of arrays. Each tag has:

* **Position 0:** tag name (key)
* **Position 1:** primary value
* **Position 2+:** additional values (optional)

All tag values MUST be strings. Numeric or other typed values are encoded as their string representation.

```json
[
  ["<name>", "<value>", "<additional>", ...],
  ...
]
```

**Hash Ordering:** When computing the commit hash, tags are hashed as a CBOR array in their original order. The order of tags in the array is significant for hash computation.

**Empty Tags:** An empty tags array `[]` is valid.

**Example:**

```json
[
  ["auto-delete", "1706000000000"],
  ["r", "abc123...", "reply"]
]
```

**Predefined Tags:**

| Tag           | Description                                                                                                                              |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `r`           | Reference — references another event. Format: `["r", "<event_id>", "<context>"]`. See context values below.                              |
| `auto-delete` | Auto-delete timestamp — node SHOULD delete the event content after this Unix timestamp (**milliseconds**, same as `exp` and `timestamp`) |

**`r` Tag Context Values:**

| Context     | Meaning                                       |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| *(omitted)* | General reference (default)                   |
| `"target"`  | Target for Update/Delete operations           |
| `"reply"`   | Reply to referenced event                     |
| `"quote"`   | Quote/repost of referenced event              |
| `"thread"`  | Part of a thread starting at referenced event |

Custom context values are allowed for application-specific semantics. Nodes treat unrecognized contexts as general references.

**Note:** The `exp` field (commit acceptance window) and `auto-delete` tag (event retention) serve different purposes. `exp` controls when a commit can be accepted; `auto-delete` controls when the finalized event should be removed from storage.

**Auto-delete vs Delete event:**

| Aspect      | Auto-delete (tag)                             | Delete (event)                                 |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Mechanism   | Node silently removes content after timestamp | Explicit Delete event updates SMT              |
| Verifiable  | No — trust-based                              | Yes — auditable proof                          |
| SMT state   | Unchanged (remains "active")                  | Updated to "deleted"                           |
| Audit trail | No                                            | Yes (who, when, why)                           |
| Use case    | Ephemeral content, disappearing messages      | Compliance, moderation, user-initiated removal |

**Important:** Auto-delete is **trust-based**. Clients trust the node to honor the timestamp. A malicious node could delete content early without detection. For verifiable deletion with audit trail, use Delete events instead.

**Relationship with exp:**

The `auto-delete` timestamp MUST be greater than `exp`. The commit must be accepted before auto-delete takes effect. Nodes SHOULD reject commits where `auto-delete <= exp` as semantically invalid.

**Auto-delete and SMT:**

Auto-delete does NOT update the SMT. The event remains "active" in SMT state (no entry in Event Status namespace). Auto-delete only affects storage — the node removes content but event metadata may remain. This is intentional: auto-delete is trust-based, not verifiable via SMT proofs.

*Additional predefined tags may be defined by the protocol or application schemas.*

### Event Finalization

Upon receiving a valid commit, a node performs:

1. **Expiration check** — reject if `exp` \< current time
2. **Deduplication check** — reject if commit `hash` was already processed (see [Replay Protection](#replay-protection))
3. **RBAC authorization check** — verify sender has C permission for this event type
4. **Sequencing and timestamp assignment**

If accepted, the node finalizes the commit into an event by adding node-generated fields.

#### Replay Protection

The node MUST reject commits with a `hash` that has already been processed for this enclave.

**Implementation:**

* Node maintains a set of **accepted** commit hashes per enclave
* Before accepting a commit, check if `hash` exists in the set
* If duplicate, reject the commit
* Only add hash to set AFTER successful acceptance
* Hashes MAY be garbage collected after `exp + 60000` ms (60 seconds buffer for clock skew)

**Note:** Rejected commits are NOT added to the deduplication set. A commit that was rejected for authorization failure can be resubmitted (e.g., after the sender is granted the required role).

This prevents replay attacks where an attacker resubmits a valid commit multiple times within the expiration window.

**Expiration Window Limit:**

Nodes MUST reject commits where the expiration is too far in the future:

```
exp - current_time > MAX_EXP_WINDOW → reject
```

The protocol defines `MAX_EXP_WINDOW = 3600000` (1 hour in milliseconds). Implementations MAY use a shorter window.

This prevents storage DoS attacks where clients submit commits with extremely large `exp` values, forcing indefinite hash retention.

**Clock Skew Tolerance:**

The protocol tolerates bounded clock skew (±60 seconds) between client and sequencer:

| Component          | Tolerance        | Behavior                                        |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Commit expiration  | ±60 seconds      | Accept commits up to 60s "early" (client ahead) |
| Hash deduplication | +60 seconds      | GC buffer after `exp + 60000` ms                |
| Bundle timeout     | event timestamps | Uses event.timestamp, not wall clock            |
| Session expiry     | ±60 seconds      | Node checks token expiry with tolerance         |

Implementations SHOULD sync clocks via NTP and log warnings if skew exceeds 60 seconds.

### Event

An **Event** is the fundamental, immutable record within an enclave.

Conceptually, an event represents a **user-authorized action** that has been:

1. Authored and signed by a client, and
2. Accepted, ordered, and finalized by a node.

An event is **derived from a Commit**, after validation and sequencing by a node.

#### Event Structure

```
{
  id: <hex64>,
  hash: <hex64>,
  enclave: <enclave id>,
  from: <sender_id_pub>,
  type: <string>,
  content: <string>,
  exp: <unix timestamp>,
  tags: [ <name | str1 | str2>, ... ],
  timestamp: <unix time>,
  sequencer: <sequencer_id_pub>,
  seq: <number>,
  alg: <string>,
  sig: <signature over hash>,
  seq_sig: <signature over hash>,
}
```

Where:

* **timestamp**: time at which the event was finalized (Unix epoch **milliseconds**; MUST be ≥ previous event's timestamp; equal timestamps allowed, ordering determined by `seq`)
* **sequencer**: identity key of the sequencing node
* **seq**: monotonically increasing sequence number within the enclave (starts at 0; Manifest is seq=0)
* **alg**: signature algorithm used for `sig`, inherited from the original commit. One of `"schnorr"` (default) or `"ecdsa"`. MAY be omitted if `"schnorr"`.
* **seq\_sig**: signature by the sequencer over the finalized event (always Schnorr)
* **id**: canonical identifier of the event

**Sequencer Continuity:**

For all events except Migrate (forced takeover), the `sequencer` field MUST match the current sequencer recorded in the Manifest. If a different key signs `seq_sig`, the event is invalid and clients MUST reject it. Exception: Migrate in forced takeover mode — the new sequencer finalizes the Migrate event (see Migration section).

**Field inheritance from Commit:**

The following fields are copied directly from the original Commit:

* `hash` — the commit hash (`Event.hash == Commit.hash`)
* `enclave`, `from`, `type`, `content`, `exp`, `tags`, `alg`, `sig`

The node adds: `id`, `timestamp`, `sequencer`, `seq`, `seq_sig`

#### Event Hash Chain

The event's cryptographic commitments are constructed as follows:

```
_event_hash = H(0x11, timestamp, seq, sequencer, sig)
seq_sig = schnorr(_event_hash, sequencer_priv)    // always Schnorr
id = sha256(seq_sig)
```

Note: `alg` does not affect the event hash chain. The `sig` bytes are included as-is regardless of which algorithm produced them. The sequencer always signs with Schnorr.

The resulting `id`:

* Commits to **both client intent and node ordering**
* Serves as the leaf identifier for Merkle trees and proofs
* Is immutable and globally referencable

### Receipt

A **Receipt** is a **node-signed acknowledgment** proving that a commit has been **accepted, sequenced, and finalized** into an event.

It provides the client with the **canonical event identifier** and **sequencing metadata**, without including the event content.

#### Structure

```
{
  id: <hex64>,
  hash: <hex64>,
  timestamp: <unix time>,
  sequencer: <sequencer_id_pub>,
  seq: <number>,
  alg: <string>,
  sig: <signature over hash>,
  seq_sig: <signature over _event_hash>
}
```

Where:

* **alg**: signature algorithm from the original commit (`"schnorr"` or `"ecdsa"`). MAY be omitted if `"schnorr"`.
* **sig**: the client's signature from the original commit (proves client intent; algorithm per `alg`)
* **seq\_sig**: the sequencer's Schnorr signature over the finalized event (proves node acceptance)

The receipt cryptographically binds **client intent** and **node ordering**, and allows the client to verify successful finalization of its commit.

**Note:** The Receipt intentionally omits the `enclave` field. The client already knows which enclave it submitted to, and omitting it provides privacy when receipts are broadcast or shared.

***

## 5. RBAC

RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) governs who can perform which operations in an enclave. The full RBAC specification is in [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md).

**Key concepts:**

* **State** (UPPER\_CASE) — mutually exclusive lifecycle position. Stored as 8-bit enum in bits 0-7 of the identity bitmask. Changed via Move events. Examples: OUTSIDER, PENDING, MEMBER, BLOCKED.
* **trait** (lower\_case) — additive capability flag with ranking. Stored as flag bits 8+ in the bitmask. Managed via Grant/Revoke/Transfer. Examples: owner, admin, muted, dataview.
* **Context** (PascalCase) — system-evaluated condition, not stored. Self (actor = target), Public (always matches).
* **Operations** — C R U D P N (positive), \_C \_R \_U \_D \_P \_N (deny). Deny always overrides.

**Authorization:** `effective = (State_ops | trait_positive_ops | Self_ops | Public_ops) − deny_ops`

**Manifest format:** 10 sections — `states`, `traits`, `readers`, `init`, `moves`, `grants`, `transfers`, `slots`, `lifecycle`, `customs`. See [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 5.

**Event processing:** Move, Grant, Revoke, Transfer, Gate, AC\_Bundle, Lifecycle, KV (Shared/Own). See [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 8.

**Application specs:** [Personal Enclave](app/personal.md), [DM Enclave](app/dm.md), [Group Chat](app/group.md).

**Node role:** The Node context (evaluated dynamically by comparing the actor's identity with the enclave's current sequencer) is reserved for future protocol extensions. In v1, no predefined events require Node for authorization.

### P (Push) and N (Notify)

**P (Push)** and **N (Notify)** enable proactive delivery from nodes to external services or clients.

**P (Push):**

* Node delivers the **full event** to identities with P permission for that event type
* Use case: DataView services that index, aggregate, or transform enclave data
* DataView does not need R permission — it receives data via push, not query

**N (Notify):**

* Node delivers a **lightweight notification** (metadata only, not content)
* Use case: Clients that want to know when to refresh, or services tracking enclave activity

**Registration:**

* Identities receiving P or N MUST be granted a trait with P/N ops in the manifest (e.g., admin grants a dataview trait with P permission)
* The identity's delivery endpoint MAY be registered in the Registry for well-known services

**Transport:**

* Transport mechanism is implementation-defined
* Nodes SHOULD support HTTPS POST (webhook) delivery
* Nodes MAY support WebSocket for real-time streaming

**Delivery Guarantees:**

| Type       | Guarantee     | Behavior                                                                                                   |
| ---------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| P (Push)   | At-least-once | Node retries with exponential backoff on failure. Recipient MUST handle duplicates (dedupe by event `id`). |
| N (Notify) | Best-effort   | Fire and forget. N is a hint; recipients can poll for missed events.                                       |

**P (Push) Retry Policy:**

* Initial retry: 1 second after failure
* Exponential backoff: 2x multiplier per retry
* Maximum interval: 5 minutes
* Maximum retries: 10 attempts
* After max retries: drop event, log failure, SHOULD alert enclave owner

Implementations MAY use different parameters but MUST implement retry with backoff. Nodes SHOULD NOT retry indefinitely to avoid resource exhaustion.

**Push Endpoint Failure:**

When P delivery to a registered endpoint fails persistently (max retries exhausted):

* The endpoint registration is kept (not removed)
* The node SHOULD alert the enclave owner
* The owner can revoke the trait if the endpoint is permanently invalid
* The node retries with a fresh retry cycle on subsequent events (stateless — no failure tracking between events)

**P/N Delivery Independence:**

Each event's P/N delivery is independent. If delivery fails for one event, it does not affect delivery of other events. Events in the same bundle are delivered separately, each with its own retry cycle.

**P (Push) Payload:**

The P payload is the complete Event structure (see [Event Structure](#event-structure)). No wrapper is needed — the event already contains the `enclave` field.

**N (Notify) Payload:**

```json
{
  "enclave": "<enclave_id>",
  "event_id": "<event_id>",
  "type": "<event_type>",
  "seq": 123,
  "type_seq": 45,
  "timestamp": 1706000000000
}
```

Where:

* **enclave** — the enclave identifier
* **event\_id** — the canonical event identifier
* **type** — the event type
* **seq** — the global sequence number of the event within the enclave
* **type\_seq** — the sequence number of this event within its type (1-indexed, continuous per type)
* **timestamp** — the event timestamp (milliseconds)

**Per-Type Sequence Counter:**

Nodes MUST maintain a per-type sequence counter for each enclave. When an event of type T is finalized, the node increments the counter for T and assigns it as `type_seq`. This allows N recipients to detect missed notifications by checking continuity of `type_seq`.

**type\_seq Rules:**

* Starts at 1 for the first event of each type (not 0)
* Increments by 1 for each subsequent event of that type
* Never resets — even after migration, counters continue from their last value
* Each event type has an independent counter

**Gap Recovery:**

When a recipient detects a `type_seq` gap (e.g., received 5, then 8):

* **If R permission available:** Use Query (`/query`) to fetch missed events by type and sequence range. This is the preferred recovery method.
* **If N permission only:** Gaps cannot be recovered through the protocol. N-only recipients SHOULD design their applications to tolerate gaps (e.g., treat notifications as hints rather than authoritative state). Consider upgrading to R permission if complete event history is required.

**DataView with P+N:**

A role MAY have both P and N permissions for the same event type. P takes precedence — if P delivery succeeds, N is not sent separately. If P fails (max retries exhausted), N MAY be sent as fallback notification.

### U (Update) and D (Delete)

**U (Update)** and **D (Delete)** are **logical operations** implemented as new events that reference prior events.

**Semantics:**

* The event log remains **append-only**; original events are never mutated
* A **Delete event** marks a target event as logically deleted
* An **Update event** marks a target event as superseded and provides new content
* An event MAY be updated multiple times, forming an update chain
* Only identities with U or D permission (per schema) for that event type can issue these operations

**Event Status State:**

The current status of each event (active, updated, deleted) is tracked in the **Enclave State SMT** alongside RBAC state (see [Enclave State SMT](#enclave-state-smt)).

When a U or D event is finalized:

1. The node updates the SMT entry for the target event
2. The SMT root reflects the new state
3. Clients can verify event status via SMT proof

**Content Integrity Proofs:**

| SMT Proof Result      | Interpretation                     |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Non-membership (null) | Event is Active OR never existed   |
| `0x00` (1 byte)       | Event was Deleted                  |
| `<32-byte id>`        | Event was Updated to this event ID |

**Verification Flow:**

1. Call `POST /state` with `namespace: "event_status"` and `key: <event_id>` → get SMT proof
2. If proof value = `0x00` → event is **Deleted** (conclusive)
3. If proof value = 32-byte ID → event is **Updated** to that ID (conclusive)
4. If proof value = null (non-membership):
   * Call `POST /bundle` with `event_id` → get bundle membership proof
   * If proof succeeds → event is **Active**
   * If proof fails (EVENT\_NOT\_FOUND) → event **never existed**

Clients MUST perform step 4 to distinguish Active from never-existed. The 1-byte vs 32-byte value length unambiguously distinguishes Deleted from Updated.

**Content Handling:**

When an event is updated or deleted:

* The node SHOULD delete the original content from storage
* However, there is **no guarantee** of content deletion — the node operates on a best-effort basis
* Clients MUST NOT assume original content is irrecoverable

**Querying:**

* **Enclave queries:** Return event + status + SMT proof (verifiable)
* **DataView queries:** Return event + status (trusted, no proof)

***

## 6. Enclave State

### Enclave State SMT

The enclave maintains a **single Sparse Merkle Tree (SMT)** that stores both:

* **RBAC state** (namespace 0x00) — identity → bitmask (State enum + trait flags)
* **Event status state** (namespace 0x01) — event ID → status (active/updated/deleted)
* **KV state** (namespace 0x02) — key → value hash (Shared/Own slots, lifecycle, gates)

**Design:**

The SMT uses:

* **Trimmed depth** (shorter than 256 bits) for efficiency
* **Flag bits** to distinguish entry types (RBAC vs Event Status)

*Implementation details (depth, flag encoding, proof format) are specified in [smt.md](smt.md).*

**RBAC Entries:**

* **Path:** derived from `id_pub` (trimmed + flag)
* **Leaf value:** identity bitmask (State enum in bits 0-7, trait flags in bits 8+)

**Event Status Entries:**

* **Path:** derived from `event_id` (trimmed + flag)
* **Leaf value:** status + reference to U/D event

**Root Hash:**

The **SMT root hash** represents the complete enclave state (both RBAC and event status). This single root can be used to verify any state query.

### Structural Proof (Certificate Transparency)

The enclave maintains an **append-only Merkle tree** over the event log, providing verifiable log integrity. This follows the Certificate Transparency (CT) specification defined in [RFC 9162](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9162.html).

**Properties:**

* **CT root:** Single hash representing the entire event history AND state
* **Inclusion proof:** Proves a specific event exists at a given position in the log
* **Consistency proof:** Proves an earlier log state is a prefix of the current state

**Bundle Structure:**

Events are grouped into bundles (see [Bundle Configuration](#bundle-configuration)). Each bundle produces one CT leaf.

```
bundle = {
  events: [event_id_0, event_id_1, ..., event_id_N],
  state_hash: <SMT root after last event in bundle>
}
```

**Initial State:**

Before any events (including Manifest), the SMT is empty:

```
empty_state_hash = sha256("")
                 = 0xe3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
```

The Manifest event is always in bundle 0. The bundle's `state_hash` is the SMT root AFTER Manifest's `init` entries have been applied.

**Leaf hash:**

```
events_root = merkle_root(events)  // binary Merkle tree of event IDs
leaf_hash = H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)
```

Where:

* `events_root` — Merkle root of event IDs in this bundle
* `state_hash` — SMT root AFTER the last event in this bundle is applied

**events\_root Construction:**

For N events in a bundle:

1. If N = 1: `events_root = event_ids[0]` (no tree needed)
2. If N > 1: Build a binary Merkle tree over event IDs:
   * Leaf: `event_id` (raw 32-byte hash, no prefix)
   * Internal node: `H(0x01, left, right)`
   * If N is not a power of 2, right-pad with the last event\_id until the next power of 2
   * Example: 3 events → pad to 4 leaves: `[e0, e1, e2, e2]`

**Bundle Event Ordering:**

Events within a bundle are ordered by their sequence number (`seq`). The first event has the lowest seq, the last has the highest. This ordering is deterministic and verifiable.

**Bundle Index Assignment:**

Bundles are numbered sequentially starting from 0. An event's bundle membership is determined by bundle boundaries:

* `bundle_0` contains events from seq=0 until size or timeout reached
* `bundle_N` contains events from `boundary[N-1] + 1` until size or timeout reached
* `boundary[N]` = seq of last event in bundle N

**Determining bundle from seq:**

```
event.seq belongs to bundle_N where:
  boundary[N-1] < event.seq <= boundary[N]
  (boundary[-1] = -1 for the first bundle)
```

**Deterministic reconstruction:**

During log replay or migration, bundle boundaries are reconstructed by applying the same closing rules (size/timeout). If CT root matches after reconstruction, bundle assignment is correct.

**Example:**

```
Config: bundle.size = 3, timeout = 5000ms

seq=0,1,2 (ts: 1000ms) → bundle_0, boundary[0]=2
seq=3,4,5 (ts: 3000ms) → bundle_1, boundary[1]=5
seq=6     (ts: 9000ms) → bundle_2, boundary[2]=6 (timeout hit)

Query: which bundle is seq=4?
Answer: bundle_1 (because 2 < 4 <= 5)
```

**Internal node:**

```
node_hash = H(0x01, left_child, right_child)
```

The `0x00` and `0x01` prefixes prevent second-preimage attacks by distinguishing leaf nodes from internal nodes.

**CT Tree Construction:**

The CT tree follows RFC 9162 Section 2.1 (Merkle Tree algorithm):

* Bundles are CT leaves, numbered sequentially (`bundle_0`, `bundle_1`, ...)
* Tree grows as bundles are appended
* For N bundles where N is not a power of 2: right-pad with the last bundle's `leaf_hash` until the next power of 2
* Example: 5 bundles → pad to 8 leaves: `[b0, b1, b2, b3, b4, b4, b4, b4]`

```
CT root (8 leaves, 5 actual bundles):

              root
            /      \
         h01        h23
        /   \      /   \
      h0    h1   h2    h3
     / \   / \  / \   / \
    b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b4 b4 b4
    ↑  ↑  ↑  ↑  ↑
    actual bundles (b4 repeated as padding)
```

This ensures deterministic CT roots across all implementations.

**Proof Structure:**

To prove an event exists and verify state:

1. **Bundle membership proof** — proves event\_id is in the bundle's events\_root
2. **CT inclusion proof** — proves bundle is in the CT tree

With `bundle.size = 1`, the events\_root equals the single event\_id, and bundle membership proof is trivial.

**State Binding:**

The CT leaf binds each **bundle** to the enclave state after that bundle:

```
state_hash[bundle_0] = SMT root after all events in bundle 0
state_hash[bundle_N] = SMT root after all events in bundle N
```

Within a bundle, state changes are applied sequentially:

```
For events [e_0, e_1, ..., e_k] in bundle:
  state = apply(state, e_0)
  state = apply(state, e_1)
  ...
  state = apply(state, e_k)
  bundle.state_hash = state
```

State-changing events (modify SMT): Manifest, Move, Grant, Revoke, Transfer, Gate, AC\_Bundle, Shared, Own, Update, Delete, Pause, Resume, Terminate, Migrate

Non-state-changing events: Content Events (app-defined customs)

Since `state_hash` is deterministic from the log, anyone can recompute and verify it. If a node provides incorrect `state_hash` values, the CT root will not match.

**Note:** State changes take effect immediately for authorization (in-memory). The `state_hash` in CT reflects the state at bundle boundaries for proof purposes.

**State Query Semantics:**

When clients query enclave state (RBAC or event status) mid-bundle, two modes are available:

| Mode       | Returns                                 | Verifiable       | Fresh        |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------ |
| `verified` | `state_hash` from last finalized bundle | ✅ Yes (CT proof) | May be stale |
| `current`  | SMT root including pending events       | ❌ No proof       | ✅ Fresh      |

* **Verified queries**: Use for audits, disputes, high-stakes operations
* **Current queries**: Use for real-time apps (chat, collaboration)

Nodes SHOULD support both modes. The default mode is implementation-defined (SHOULD be documented).

**Staleness Guidance:**

With default `bundle.timeout = 5000` ms, `verified` queries may be up to 5 seconds stale. Nodes SHOULD document their bundle configuration and expected staleness.

**Use cases:**

* Client verifies an event is part of the canonical log
* Client verifies the enclave state at any point in history
* Client verifies the log they cached is still valid (consistency with current log)
* Detect if a node is presenting different log histories to different clients
* Checkpoint for migration (CT root proves both log and state)

*Proof serialization formats are specified in [proof.md](proof.md).*

### Enclave Lifecycle

An enclave exists in one of four states, derived from the event log:

| State          | Condition                                               | Accepted Commits                | Reads             |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| **Active**     | No Terminate/Migrate; last lifecycle event is not Pause | All (per RBAC)                  | Yes               |
| **Paused**     | No Terminate/Migrate; last lifecycle event is Pause     | Resume, Terminate, Migrate only | Yes               |
| **Terminated** | Terminate event exists                                  | None                            | Until deleted\*   |
| **Migrated**   | Migrate event exists                                    | None                            | No obligation\*\* |

\*After Terminate, the node SHOULD delete enclave data. Reads MAY be allowed until deletion completes.

\*\*After Migrate, the old node is not obligated to serve reads. Clients should query the new node.

**State Derivation:**

```
migrated = exists(Migrate)
terminated = !migrated && exists(Terminate)
paused = !migrated && !terminated && last_of(Pause, Resume).type == "Pause"
active = !migrated && !terminated && !paused
```

**Mutual Exclusion:** Terminate and Migrate are mutually exclusive terminal states. The node MUST reject:

* Migrate commit if Terminate already exists → error `ENCLAVE_TERMINATED`
* Terminate commit if Migrate already exists → error `ENCLAVE_MIGRATED`

This prevents ambiguous state derivation. The first terminal event wins.

**last\_of() Semantics:** `last_of(Pause, Resume)` returns the most recent event of either type. If neither exists, the result is `null`, and the `paused` condition evaluates to `false`.

Lifecycle state is stored in KV Shared (`Shared("lifecycle")`) in SMT namespace 0x02. The lifecycle events themselves are also recorded in the append-only log, providing an audit trail.

**Lifecycle Events:**

| Event     | Transition                 | Reversible |
| --------- | -------------------------- | ---------- |
| Pause     | Active → Paused            | Yes        |
| Resume    | Paused → Active            | Yes        |
| Terminate | Active/Paused → Terminated | No         |
| Migrate   | Active/Paused → Migrated   | No         |

**Behavior in Paused State:**

* Node MUST reject all commits except Resume, Terminate, and Migrate
* In-flight commits at the moment of Pause are rejected
* Read queries continue to work normally
* In-flight P (Push) and N (Notify) deliveries SHOULD complete (events already finalized)

**P/N Delivery in Paused State:**

Events finalized before Pause may have in-flight P/N deliveries — these SHOULD complete. No new events are finalized during Pause (except Resume/Terminate/Migrate), so no new P/N deliveries are initiated. P/N is not "paused" — there are simply no new events to trigger deliveries.

***

## 7. Predefined Events

Predefined events are event types with special semantics understood and processed by the node.

### Event Categories

| Category            | Description                             | Can be U/D |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| **AC Events**       | Modify RBAC state (Grant, Revoke, etc.) | No         |
| **Content Events**  | Application data with no state effect   | Yes        |
| **Update / Delete** | Modify event status of Content Events   | No         |

**Key rules:**

* Only **Content Events** can be Updated or Deleted
* AC Events are irreversible — they represent state transitions
* Update/Delete events cannot themselves be Updated or Deleted

The node determines the category by event type — all AC event types and Update/Delete are predefined by the protocol.

### Predefined Event Type Registry

| Type        | Category   | Modifies SMT | Description                              |
| ----------- | ---------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| `Manifest`  | Lifecycle  | Yes (RBAC)   | Initialize enclave                       |
| `Move`      | AC         | Yes (RBAC)   | Change identity's State                  |
| `Grant`     | AC         | Yes (RBAC)   | Add trait to identity                    |
| `Revoke`    | AC         | Yes (RBAC)   | Remove trait from identity               |
| `Transfer`  | AC         | Yes (RBAC)   | Atomically move trait between identities |
| `Gate`      | AC         | Yes (KV)     | Toggle pre-RBAC event gate               |
| `AC_Bundle` | AC         | Yes (RBAC)   | Atomic batch of AC ops                   |
| `Shared`    | KV         | Yes (KV)     | Enclave-wide singleton key-value         |
| `Own`       | KV         | Yes (KV)     | Per-identity key-value slot              |
| `Update`    | Event Mgmt | Yes (Status) | Supersede content event                  |
| `Delete`    | Event Mgmt | Yes (Status) | Delete content event                     |
| `Pause`     | Lifecycle  | Yes (KV)     | Pause finalization                       |
| `Resume`    | Lifecycle  | Yes (KV)     | Resume finalization                      |
| `Terminate` | Lifecycle  | Yes (KV)     | Close enclave                            |
| `Migrate`   | Lifecycle  | Yes (KV)     | Transfer to new sequencer                |

**Content Events:** Any type NOT in this registry is a Content Event (e.g., `message`, `reaction`). Content Events do not modify SMT state.

For full AC event processing rules, see [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 8.

### Manifest

A **Manifest** is a predefined event type used to **initialize an enclave**.

The acceptance and finalization of a Manifest event marks the **creation of the enclave** and establishes its initial configuration.

**Type:** `Manifest`

#### Manifest Commit Content

The Manifest RBAC section uses the v2 manifest format (see [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 5). Simplified example:

```json
{
  "enc_v": 2,
  "states": ["MEMBER"],
  "traits": ["owner(0)", "admin(1)"],
  "readers": [{ "type": "MEMBER", "reads": "*" }],
  "moves": [],
  "grants": [
    { "event": "Grant", "operator": ["owner"], "scope": ["MEMBER"], "trait": ["admin"] },
    { "event": "Revoke", "operator": ["owner"], "scope": ["MEMBER"], "trait": ["admin"] }
  ],
  "transfers": [],
  "slots": [],
  "lifecycle": [
    { "event": "Terminate", "operator": "owner", "ops": ["C"] }
  ],
  "customs": [
    { "event": "message", "operator": "MEMBER", "ops": ["C"] },
    { "event": "message", "operator": "Self", "ops": ["U", "D"] }
  ],
  "init": [
    { "identity": "<owner_pub>", "state": "MEMBER", "traits": ["owner", "admin"] }
  ],
  "meta": { "description": "a simple group" },
  "bundle": { "size": 256, "timeout": 5000 }
}
```

*For production manifest examples, see the app specs: [Personal](app/personal.md), [DM](app/dm.md), [Group Chat](app/group.md).*

**Manifest Content Canonicalization:**

Unlike Content Events, the node parses Manifest content as JSON for validation. For commit hash verification:

* Client sends `content` as UTF-8 JSON string
* Node hashes `content` byte-for-byte (does not re-serialize)
* Node parses JSON only for validation, not for hashing

Clients SHOULD use deterministic JSON serialization (sorted keys, no extra whitespace) for reproducibility, but this is not enforced by the protocol.

#### Fields

* **enc\_v** — Version of the ENC protocol.
* **states** — Declared States (UPPER\_CASE). See [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 5 for the full manifest format.
* **traits** — Declared traits with rank: `name(N)`.
* **readers** — Which columns get R ops on which events.
* **init** — Initial identities bootstrapped at enclave creation.
* **moves, grants, transfers, slots, lifecycle, customs** — Authorization entries for each event category.
* **meta** — Optional application-defined metadata (object). The serialized `meta` field (as JSON) MUST NOT exceed 4 KB (4096 bytes). Nodes MUST reject Manifests with larger `meta` fields.
* **bundle** — Optional bundle configuration (size, timeout). If omitted, defaults apply.

**Schema Immutability:**

The RBAC schema is **immutable** after the Manifest is finalized. To change the schema, a new enclave must be created.

This ensures:

* Role bit positions remain stable for the enclave's lifetime
* RBAC proofs remain valid across the entire event history
* No ambiguity about which schema version applies to which events

**No Schema Version Field:**

The schema has no explicit version field. The enclave ID is derived from Manifest content (which includes the schema), so any schema change would produce a different enclave ID. This is intentional — changing the schema requires creating a new enclave.

#### Bundle Configuration

The `bundle` field controls how events are grouped for CT and SMT efficiency.

| Field     | Type   | Default | Description                            |
| --------- | ------ | ------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `size`    | number | 256     | Max events per bundle                  |
| `timeout` | number | 5000    | Max milliseconds before closing bundle |

**Bundle closing rules:**

* Close when `size` events accumulated, OR
* Close when `timeout` ms passed since bundle opened
* Whichever comes first

**Timeout Clock:**

Timeout is measured using event timestamps, not wall clock. The bundle opens when the first event's timestamp is recorded. The bundle closes when a new event arrives with `timestamp >= first_event.timestamp + timeout`.

**Determinism:** Bundle boundaries depend only on the finalized event sequence (`seq` order) and timestamps, which are immutable once sequenced. Out-of-order network delivery does NOT affect bundle boundaries — replaying the same log always produces identical bundles.

**Note:** Timeout is only checked when a new event arrives. If no events arrive, the bundle remains open indefinitely. A bundle MUST contain at least one event (empty bundles are not valid).

**Idle Bundles:**

If an enclave receives no new events, the current bundle remains open (no timeout trigger). This is intentional: bundles are only closed when needed for new events. An open bundle has no negative effect — CT/SMT are still current in-memory. The bundle closes immediately when the next event arrives (if timeout elapsed).

**Concurrent Events:**

The sequencer processes commits serially. "Simultaneous" arrival is resolved by the sequencer's internal ordering. Bundle boundaries are deterministic given the final event sequence.

**Semantics:**

* All events in a bundle share the same `state_hash` (SMT root after last event in bundle)
* CT leaf is created per bundle, not per event
* Set `size: 1` for per-event state verification (no bundling)

**state\_hash Computation Timing:**

The `state_hash` is computed when the bundle closes:

1. Process all events in bundle sequentially by `seq` order
2. Apply each state-changing event to SMT (RBAC updates, Event Status updates)
3. After last event is applied, capture current SMT root
4. This root becomes the bundle's `state_hash`

**Immutability:**

Bundle configuration is **immutable** after the Manifest is finalized, like the RBAC schema.

#### Enclave Identifier

The enclave identifier is derived from the Manifest commit:

```
enclave = H(0x12, from, type, content_hash, tags)
```

For a Manifest commit, the client MUST:

1. Compute `enclave` using the formula above
2. Set the `enclave` field in the commit to this value
3. Compute the commit `hash` (which includes `enclave`)

**Derivation Order (critical for implementation):**

```
1. content_hash = sha256(utf8_bytes(content))
2. enclave_id = H(0x12, from, "Manifest", content_hash, tags)
3. commit.enclave = enclave_id
4. commit_hash = H(0x10, enclave_id, from, "Manifest", content_hash, exp, tags)
5. sig = sign(commit_hash, id_priv, alg)
```

This two-step derivation ensures the enclave ID is self-referential and deterministic.

**Note:** Two Manifests with identical `from`, `content`, and `tags` produce the same enclave ID. This is intentional — identical inputs represent the same enclave intent. To create distinct enclaves with similar configurations, include a unique value in `meta` (e.g., a UUID or timestamp).

**Enclave Identity and Collision:**

The enclave ID is deterministic and independent of which node hosts it. If two nodes receive identical Manifest commits, they compute the same enclave ID. However, only one enclave with that ID should exist in the Registry at a time. Clients SHOULD verify the sequencer via Registry.

**Collision Handling:**

If a node receives a Manifest commit for an enclave ID that already exists on that node, the node MUST reject the commit. This is detected by checking if the enclave already has a seq=0 event.

If different nodes independently create enclaves with the same ID, both enclaves are technically valid on their respective nodes. The Registry determines which is canonical for discovery purposes — clients discovering via Registry will only see one sequencer.

**Registry Conflict Resolution:**

If two nodes attempt to register the same enclave ID in Registry:

* First valid Reg\_Enclave wins (earliest `seq` in Registry)
* Subsequent registrations for the same `enclave_id` are rejected (not superseded)
* To transfer an enclave to a different node, use Migrate (not Registry re-registration)

This differs from normal Reg\_Enclave superseding behavior — enclave ID conflicts are errors, not updates.

**Manifest exp Field:**

The `exp` field in a Manifest commit has the same semantics as other commits: it defines the deadline by which the node must accept the commit. After enclave creation, the Manifest's `exp` has no ongoing effect.

#### Manifest Validation

**Validation Order:**

1. Verify commit structure (fields present, types correct)
2. Verify commit hash and signature
3. Verify enclave ID derivation matches
4. Parse and validate content JSON
5. Apply content-specific rules below

The node MUST reject a Manifest commit if:

1. `enc_v` is not a supported protocol version
2. `states` is not a non-empty array of UPPER\_CASE strings
3. `traits` is not an array of `name(rank)` strings with valid non-negative integer ranks
4. `init` is empty or contains invalid entries (each must have `identity`, `state`, `traits[]`)
5. Any identity in `init` is not a valid 32-byte public key
6. Any State in `init` is not declared in `states`
7. Any trait in `init` is not declared in `traits`
8. Manifest fails any validation rule defined in [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 6

#### Initialization Semantics

If a node accepts the Manifest commit and returns a valid receipt, the client can conclude that:

* The enclave has been successfully initialized
* The RBAC schema and initial state are finalized
* The enclave identifier is canonical and immutable

### Update

An **Update** event replaces the content of a previously finalized event.

**Type:** `Update`

#### Structure

| Field   | Value                                     |
| ------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| type    | `Update`                                  |
| content | The replacement content                   |
| tags    | MUST include `["r", "<target_event_id>"]` |

#### Semantics

* The target event MUST be a Content Event (AC events cannot be updated)
* The target event (referenced by `r` tag) is marked as **updated** in the Enclave State SMT
* The original content SHOULD be deleted by the node (best-effort, no guarantee)
* Only identities with **U** permission for the target event's type can issue an Update
* An event MAY be updated multiple times; each Update references the **original** event (not the previous Update)
* The SMT leaf for the original event points to the latest Update

**SMT Update Tracking:**

When an Update event is finalized:

1. Node looks up the target event ID from the `r` tag
2. Node writes `SMT[target_event_id] = update_event_id`
3. If a subsequent Update targets the same original event, the SMT entry is overwritten

The SMT always stores the **most recent** Update event ID for each target. Clients can follow the chain by querying the Update event, which contains the new content.

**Update Lookup:**

All Update events target the **original** Content Event, not previous Updates. The SMT stores only one entry per original event, always pointing to the most recent Update. No chain following is needed — one SMT lookup returns the latest content.

**Concurrent Updates in Bundle:**

If multiple Updates target the same original event within one bundle, they are processed serially by `seq` order. Each Update overwrites the previous SMT entry. Only the last Update's event\_id is stored in SMT after the bundle closes.

**Empty Content:**

An Update event with `content: ""` (empty string) is valid. This clears the content while preserving the update chain. Use case: author wants to retract content but preserve the event record.

#### Authorization

The node checks U permission against the **target event's type**, not `Update`. For example, if the schema grants `Self` the U permission for `Chat_Message`, only the original author can update their own messages.

#### Update Target Validation

The node MUST reject Update if:

* Target event does not exist
* Target event is a Delete or Update event (U/D events cannot be U/D'd)
* Target event is an AC Event
* Target event is already deleted (has Delete status in SMT)

**Updating an Already-Updated Event:**

Updating an event that was previously updated is allowed. The new Update supersedes the previous one — the SMT entry is overwritten with the new Update's event\_id. The target MUST always be the original Content Event, not any intermediate Update event.

### Delete

A **Delete** event marks a previously finalized event as logically deleted.

**Type:** `Delete`

#### Structure

| Field   | Value                                     |
| ------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| type    | `Delete`                                  |
| content | JSON object (see below)                   |
| tags    | MUST include `["r", "<target_event_id>"]` |

**Note:** The `content` field in events is always a UTF-8 string. The JSON structure shown is the content when parsed. The actual event stores: `content: "{\"reason\":\"author\",\"note\":\"...\"}"`

**Content fields:**

| Field  | Required | Description                                                       |
| ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| reason | Yes      | `"author"` (self-deletion) or `"moderator"` (admin/role deletion) |
| note   | No       | Optional explanation (e.g., "policy violation")                   |

#### Semantics

* The target event MUST be a Content Event (AC events cannot be deleted)
* The target event (referenced by `r` tag) is marked as **deleted** in the Enclave State SMT
* The original content SHOULD be deleted by the node (best-effort, no guarantee)
* Only identities with **D** permission for the target event's type can issue a Delete
* Delete events provide a **verifiable audit trail** of who deleted content and why

#### Authorization

The node checks D permission against the **target event's type**, not `Delete`. For example, if the schema grants `Self` the D permission for `Chat_Message`, only the original author can delete their own messages.

**Self Evaluation Example:**

If the manifest customs section defines:

```json
{ "event": "message", "operator": "Sender", "ops": ["D"] }
```

Alice (`id_alice`) can delete a message only if `target_event.from == id_alice`. The `Sender` context matches the target event's author.

If the manifest also grants admin the D permission:

```json
{ "event": "message", "operator": "admin", "ops": ["D"] }
```

An admin can delete any message regardless of authorship. The `Sender` entry only applies when the actor's identity matches the target event's `from`.

#### Delete Target Validation

The node MUST reject Delete if:

* Target event does not exist
* Target event is a Delete or Update event (U/D events cannot be U/D'd)
* Target event is an AC Event
* Target event is already deleted

**Deleting an Already-Updated Event:**

Deleting an event that was previously updated is allowed. Delete targets the original Content Event, and the SMT status changes from "updated" to "deleted". All associated Update events become orphaned — they remain in the log but reference a deleted event. Clients querying the original event will see "deleted" status.

### AC Events

AC (Access Control) events modify the RBAC state or lifecycle of an enclave. All AC event types are predefined by the ENC protocol and understood by the node. For full processing rules, see [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 8.

#### AC Event Summary

| Type       | Effect                                                                       |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Move       | Change identity's State (8-bit enum). Clears traits unless `preserve: true`. |
| Grant      | Add trait flag to identity's bitmask. Scoped by target State.                |
| Revoke     | Remove trait flag. Self allowed as operator (voluntary step-down).           |
| Transfer   | Atomically move a trait from operator to target.                             |
| Gate       | Toggle pre-RBAC event gate (open/closed).                                    |
| AC\_Bundle | Atomic batch of AC operations (all-or-nothing).                              |

#### Lifecycle Events

| Type      | Effect                         |
| --------- | ------------------------------ |
| Pause     | Transition to Paused state     |
| Resume    | Transition to Active state     |
| Terminate | Transition to Terminated state |
| Migrate   | Transfer to new sequencer      |

Lifecycle state is stored in KV Shared (`Shared("lifecycle")`) in SMT namespace 0x02.

#### KV Events

| Type   | Scope                          | Effect                           |
| ------ | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| Shared | Enclave-wide singleton per key | Last-write-wins mutable state    |
| Own    | Per-identity slot per key      | Each identity writes to own slot |

KV events maintain current state in SMT namespace 0x02. History preserved in CT.

### Content Events

**Content Events** are application-defined event types that carry data without affecting RBAC state.

* Defined in the manifest `customs` section (not predefined by the protocol)
* Do not modify RBAC state or enclave lifecycle
* Can be Updated or Deleted (if schema permits)

An event is a Content Event if its `type` is NOT in the Predefined Event Type Registry above. Determined by string comparison — no schema lookup needed.

***

## 8. Registry

The **Registry** is a special enclave that maps **Enclave IDs** to the **Node endpoints** that host them, and may optionally attach descriptive metadata.

### Purpose

* Service discovery: resolve `enclave_id → node(s)`
* Identity resolution: resolve `id_pub → enclave(s)`
* Context lookup: understand what an enclave represents

### Registry Record

A registry entry MAY include:

* `enclave_id` — canonical enclave identifier
* `nodes` — hosting node endpoints or identifiers
* `app` *(optional)* — application that created or uses the enclave
* `creator` *(optional)* — identity key that initialized the enclave
* `desc` *(optional)* — human-readable description
* `meta` *(optional)* — application-defined metadata

### Trust Model

* **Sequencer discovery:** Registry is authoritative. Clients MUST use Registry to discover the current sequencer.
* **Enclave metadata:** Registry is advisory. Clients SHOULD verify enclave proofs independently.

### Event Category

Reg\_Node, Reg\_Enclave, and Reg\_Identity are **Content Events** within the Registry enclave. They can be Updated (to change metadata) or Deleted (to deregister) per the Registry's RBAC schema.

### Update Mechanism

The Registry maintains one active entry per resource:

* Reg\_Node: keyed by `seq_pub`
* Reg\_Enclave: keyed by `enclave_id`
* Reg\_Identity: keyed by `id_pub`

A new submission supersedes any existing entry for the same key. The old entry is automatically marked as updated in SMT (no explicit Update event needed).

**Registry-Specific Behavior:**

This implicit update is a **Registry-only exception**. The Registry node internally marks old entries as updated in SMT when a new entry for the same key is submitted. Normal enclaves require explicit Update events to modify event status.

**SMT Update Entry:**

When a new Reg\_Node, Reg\_Enclave, or Reg\_Identity supersedes an existing entry:

* SMT entry for old event: `SMT[old_event_id] = new_event_id`
* This follows the same pattern as explicit Update events

Clients can query the old event ID and discover it was superseded, then follow the chain to the current entry.

**Implementation Note:**

The Registry node maintains a secondary index: `key → current_event_id`. On new submission:

1. Look up existing event for this key
2. If exists, write `SMT[old_event_id] = new_event_id`
3. Update index to point to new event

This is internal to Registry operation — the SMT update follows normal semantics.

**Querying Registry:**

Clients query Registry by key (`seq_pub` for nodes, `enclave_id` for enclaves, `id_pub` for identities). The Registry returns the latest active entry for that key. Historical entries are available in the event log but superseded entries are marked as updated in SMT.

### Registry Schema

The Registry uses a minimal RBAC v2 manifest. No States (stateless enclave), two traits: `owner` and `dataview`.

```json
{
  "enc_v": 2,
  "RBAC": {
  "states": [],
  "traits": ["owner(0)", "dataview(1)"],
  "readers": [
    { "type": "Public", "reads": "*" }
  ],
  "grants": [
    { "event": "Grant", "operator": ["owner"], "scope": ["OUTSIDER"], "trait": ["dataview"] },
    { "event": "Revoke", "operator": ["owner"], "scope": ["OUTSIDER"], "trait": ["dataview"] }
  ],
  "transfers": [
    { "trait": "owner", "scope": ["OUTSIDER"] }
  ],
  "slots": [],
  "lifecycle": [
    { "event": "Terminate", "operator": "owner", "ops": ["C"] }
  ],
  "customs": [
    { "event": "Reg_Node", "operator": "Public", "ops": ["C"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Node", "operator": "Sender", "ops": ["U", "D"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Node", "operator": "dataview", "ops": ["P"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Enclave", "operator": "Public", "ops": ["C"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Enclave", "operator": "Sender", "ops": ["U", "D"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Enclave", "operator": "dataview", "ops": ["P"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Identity", "operator": "Public", "ops": ["C"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Identity", "operator": "Sender", "ops": ["U", "D"] },
    { "event": "Reg_Identity", "operator": "dataview", "ops": ["P"] }
  ],
  "init": [
    { "identity": "<registry_owner_id>", "state": "OUTSIDER", "traits": ["owner"] }
  ]
}
```

**Authorization rules:**

* Public can read all events (`*` wildcard R via readers)
* dataview trait receives all events via Push (P) to serve the REST API
* Public can submit Reg\_Node, Reg\_Enclave, Reg\_Identity (signed by submitter)
* Only the original sender can Update or Delete their own entries (Sender context)
* `Sender` for Reg\_Node is evaluated against `content.seq_pub`
* `Sender` for Reg\_Enclave is evaluated against `content.manifest_event.from`
* `Sender` for Reg\_Identity is evaluated against `content.id_pub`
* owner trait can Grant/Revoke the dataview trait (manage push endpoints)
* owner trait can Transfer ownership and Terminate

**Strict Self-Authorization:**

For Reg\_Node: the commit's `from` field MUST equal `content.seq_pub`. One identity cannot register another node.

For Reg\_Enclave: the commit's `from` field MUST equal `content.manifest_event.from`. One identity cannot register another's enclave.

For Reg\_Identity: the commit's `from` field MUST equal `content.id_pub`. One identity cannot register enclaves for another.

**Reg\_Enclave and Ownership Transfer:**

The Registry tracks the **original creator** (`manifest_event.from`) as the default authorized identity. However, after `Transfer`, the new Owner can update the Registry by providing an `owner_proof`.

**Update Scenarios:**

| Scenario                            | `from` field          | `owner_proof`                         |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------- |

### Registry Governance

**Registry Owner:**

The `registry_owner_id` is the identity operating the Registry service. In the current centralized design:

* The Registry Owner is a fixed, well-known identity (e.g., protocol operator)
* The Registry Owner has standard Owner powers: can `Transfer`, `Pause`, `Resume`, `Terminate`
* The Registry Owner does NOT have special powers over individual Reg\_Node/Reg\_Enclave/Reg\_Identity entries — those are controlled by their respective `Self` identities

**Notes:**

* Current design is **centralized**; future versions may be decentralized.

### The Process of Registry

1. **Node Register**: The node should register seq\_pub and domain / IP on the registry with Reg\_Node. If both domain and Ip is set, first resolve IP then the domain
2. **Create Enclave**: The client send manifest to the node, and get receipt with sequencer, then the client knows who is hosting the enclave
3. **Enclave Register**: Then the client can send the finalized event as content of the register commit (event type predefined as Reg\_Enclave). And the registry will check the sig = event.sig in content. If it comes from the same signer, registry will accept this register
4. **Identity Register**: The client registers its enclaves via Reg\_Identity, mapping `id_pub → enclaves`. The commit must be signed by `id_pub`. This is optional but enables discovery of an identity's enclaves

### Reg\_Node

**Type:** `Reg_Node`

**Purpose:** Register a node in the Registry for discovery.

#### Content Structure

```json
{
  "seq_pub": "<node's sequencer public key>",
  "endpoints": [
    {
      "uri": "https://node.example.com:443",
      "priority": 1
    },
    {

    }
  ],

### Reg\_Enclave

**Type:** `Reg_Enclave`

**Purpose:** Register an enclave in the Registry for discovery.

#### Content Structure

```json
{
  "manifest_event": {
    "id": "<event_id>",

    }
  },
  "app": "my-chat-app",
  "desc": "A group chat for project X",
  "meta": {}
}
```

#### Fields

| Field           | Required | Description                                                                |
| --------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| manifest\_event | Yes      | The finalized Manifest event (full event structure)                        |
| owner\_proof    | No       | Proof of current Owner status (required if `from` ≠ `manifest_event.from`) |
| app             | No       | Application identifier                                                     |

#### Owner Proof Structure

The `owner_proof` field allows the current Owner to submit `Reg_Enclave` even if they are not the original creator. This is required after `Transfer` when the new Owner needs to update the Registry.

| Field          | Required | Description                                                                |
| -------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| sth            | Yes      | Signed Tree Head from the enclave's sequencer                              |
| ct\_proof      | Yes      | CT inclusion proof binding `state_hash` to the signed root                 |
| state\_hash    | Yes      | SMT root hash at the proven tree position                                  |
| events\_root   | Yes      | Merkle root of event IDs in the bundle                                     |
| smt\_proof     | Yes      | SMT membership proof showing `from` has owner trait                        |
| migrate\_event | No       | Required if sequencer changed since Manifest (proves sequencer transition) |

#### Authorization

The `Reg_Enclave` commit can be authorized in two ways:

**Path 1: Original Creator (no owner\_proof)**

* `from` field MUST equal `manifest_event.from`
* Registry verifies `manifest_event.sig` is valid

**Path 2: Current Owner (with owner\_proof)**

* `from` field MAY differ from `manifest_event.from`
* `owner_proof` field MUST be present and valid
* Registry verifies the submitter currently holds the owner trait

**Manifest Signature Verification (both paths):**

The `manifest_event.sig` signs the Manifest commit hash:

```
_content_hash = sha256(utf8_bytes(manifest_event.content))
commit_hash = H(0x10, enclave_id, from, "Manifest", _content_hash, exp, tags)
verify: sig_verify(commit_hash, manifest_event.sig, manifest_event.from, manifest_event.alg)
```

**Owner Proof Verification (Path 2 only):**

1. **Verify STH signature:**
   ```
   message = "enc:sth:" || be64(sth.t) || be64(sth.ts) || hex_decode(sth.r)
   verify: schnorr_verify(sha256(message), sth.sig, manifest_event.sequencer)
   ```

2. **Verify CT inclusion:**
   * Compute leaf hash: `H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)`
   * Verify CT inclusion proof against `sth.r` using RFC 9162 algorithm
   * This binds `state_hash` to the signed tree

3. **Verify SMT proof:**
   * Compute expected key: `0x00 || sha256(from)[0:160 bits]` (RBAC namespace, 21 bytes total)
   * Verify `smt_proof.k` equals expected key
   * Verify SMT proof against `state_hash`
   * Verify `smt_proof.v` has owner trait (bit 8) set

4. **Verify enclave binding:**
   * The `manifest_event.enclave` MUST match the enclave ID in Registry lookup
   * This prevents using an owner proof from a different enclave

**Post-Migration Updates:**

After migration, the sequencer changes. To update Registry after migration:

1. Include the `migrate_event` field in `owner_proof`:
   ```json
   {
     "owner_proof": {
       "migrate_event": {
         "id": "<migrate_event_id>",
         "type": "Migrate",
         "content": { "new_sequencer": "<new_sequencer_pub>", ... },
         "sequencer": "<new_sequencer_pub>",
         "seq_sig": "<new_sequencer_signature>",
         ...
       },
       "sth": { ... },
       "ct_proof": { ... },
       ...
     }
   }
   ```

2. Registry verifies the Migrate event:
   * `migrate_event.content.new_sequencer` = new sequencer public key
   * `migrate_event.seq_sig` is valid signature by new sequencer
   * `migrate_event.enclave` matches `manifest_event.enclave`

3. STH signature is verified against `migrate_event.sequencer` (new sequencer)

**Chained Migrations:**

If multiple migrations occurred, only the most recent `migrate_event` is needed. The new sequencer's STH authenticates the current state, which includes the full history.

**Security Notes:**

* The `manifest_event` provides enclave identity and original creator
* The `migrate_event` (if present) proves sequencer transition
* The SMT proof proves current Owner status
* All three are cryptographically bound via signatures

#### Derived Fields

Registry extracts:

* `enclave_id` = `manifest_event.enclave`
* `sequencer` = `owner_proof.migrate_event.content.new_sequencer` if `migrate_event` is present, otherwise `manifest_event.sequencer`
* `creator` = `manifest_event.from`

#### Update/Deregister

* To update metadata: submit new Reg\_Enclave (replaces previous)
* To deregister: submit Delete event referencing the Reg\_Enclave event

### Reg\_Identity

**Type:** `Reg_Identity`

**Purpose:** Register an identity's enclaves in the Registry for discovery.

#### Content Structure

```json
{
  "id_pub": "a1b2c3...",
  "enclaves": {
    "personal": "<enclave_id>",
    "dm": "<enclave_id>"
  }
}
```

#### Fields

| Field    | Required | Description                                           |
| -------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| id\_pub  | Yes      | Identity public key                                   |
| enclaves | No       | Map of label → enclave\_id (named enclave references) |

#### Enclaves Map

The `enclaves` field is a free-form map of string keys to enclave IDs. Applications use this to associate named enclaves with an identity.

Common keys:

* `personal` — the identity's personal enclave (see Appendix A)

The map is application-defined; the Registry stores but does not interpret the keys.

#### Validation Limits

| Field        | Max           |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| enclaves map | 256 entries   |
| enclaves key | 64 characters |

Nodes MUST reject Reg\_Identity commits exceeding these limits.

#### Authorization

* The commit MUST be signed by `id_pub` (proves key ownership)
* `from` field MUST equal `id_pub`

#### Update/Deregister

* To update: submit new Reg\_Identity with same `id_pub` (replaces previous)
* To deregister: submit Delete event referencing the Reg\_Identity event

## 9. Migration

Migration transfers an enclave from one node to another while preserving the full event history and enclave identity.

### Migrate Event

**Type:** `Migrate`

**Content Structure:**

```json
{
  "new_sequencer": "<new_seq_pub>",
  "prev_seq": 1234,
  "ct_root": "<ct_root_at_prev_seq>"
}
```

**Fields:**

| Field          | Required | Description                                                                                        |
| -------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| new\_sequencer | Yes      | Public key of the new sequencer node                                                               |
| prev\_seq      | Yes      | Sequence number of the last event BEFORE the Migrate event (Migrate will have seq = prev\_seq + 1) |
| ct\_root       | Yes      | CT root at prev\_seq (proves log and state before Migrate)                                         |

**Authorization:**

* Only Owner can issue Migrate
* The commit MUST be signed by Owner

**Migration Barrier:**

Once a node accepts a Migrate commit:

* The node MUST reject all other pending commits
* The Migrate event MUST be the final event from this sequencer
* No concurrent commits are allowed during migration
* The node MUST immediately close the current bundle after finalizing Migrate

**Bundle Handling:**

The Migrate event does NOT need to be alone in its bundle. Events accepted before the Migrate commit may be in the same bundle. The bundle closes immediately after Migrate is finalized, regardless of `bundle.size` or `bundle.timeout` configuration.

Example with `bundle.size = 10`:

* Events seq=100-105 are in an open bundle
* Migrate commit arrives, finalized as seq=106
* Bundle closes immediately with events seq=100-106
* No events seq=107+ are possible from this sequencer

This ensures a clean handoff with no ambiguity about which events belong to which sequencer.

### Migration Modes

**Peaceful Handoff (old node online):**

1. Owner submits `Migrate` commit to old node
2. Old node finalizes Migrate as the last event
3. Old node transfers full event log to new node
4. New node verifies log matches `ct_root`
5. New node continues sequencing; next event will be seq = `prev_seq + 2` (Migrate event was `prev_seq + 1`)
6. Owner updates Registry (`Reg_Enclave`)

**Forced Takeover (old node offline):**

1. Owner or Backup has a copy of the event log
2. Owner signs `Migrate` commit (unfinalized)
3. Owner submits log + unfinalized commit to new node
4. New node verifies log integrity (see verification below)
5. **New node finalizes the Migrate event** (special case)
6. New node becomes the sequencer
7. Owner updates Registry (`Reg_Enclave`)

In forced mode, the `sequencer` field of the Migrate event will be the NEW node, not the old one. This is the only event type where sequencer discontinuity is allowed.

**Forced Takeover Verification:**

Before finalizing Migrate, the new node MUST rebuild state from scratch:

1. Replay all events from the log, computing SMT state after each state-changing event
2. Verify computed SMT root matches `state_hash` in final bundle
3. Verify the `from` field of the Migrate commit has owner trait set in the computed SMT (RBAC namespace)
4. Recompute CT root — MUST match `ct_root` in Migrate commit
5. Verify commit signature (`sig`) is valid for the computed commit hash
6. Verify `prev_seq` equals the last event's sequence number in the log

If any check fails, the new node MUST reject the migration. This full replay ensures the new node has a correct, verified copy of enclave state.

### Checkpoint Verification

The `ct_root` field serves as a checkpoint:

* CT root commits to both the event log AND state (via `state_hash` in leaves)
* New node recomputes CT root from received log
* If mismatch, migration is rejected

### Split-Brain Prevention

After migration:

* Old node's sequencer key is no longer valid
* Any events finalized by old node after Migrate are invalid
* Registry is authoritative for sequencer discovery
* Clients SHOULD check Registry periodically

**Client Recovery after Migrate:**

If a client queries the old node after Migrate:

1. Old node MAY still serve read requests (CT proofs, state proofs) — data is valid
2. Old node MUST reject new commits (new sequencer handles writes)
3. Client discovers migration via Registry lookup or `ENCLAVE_NOT_FOUND` on commit
4. Client migrates to new node for subsequent operations

No explicit "migrated" error is required on reads; normal operation continues until the client syncs with Registry.

### Backup Pattern

To enable forced takeover, ensure someone has the full event log:

**Option 1: Owner maintains backup**

* Owner's client stores all events locally

**Option 2: Dedicated Backup role**

* Define a custom role with P (Push) permission for all event types
* Assign to a backup service

Schema example — define a `backup` trait with P ops on all events:

```json
{ "event": "*", "operator": "backup", "ops": ["P"] }
```

The wildcard `*` means the backup trait receives push for ALL event types. This enables disaster recovery if the node goes offline.

**Important:** Forced takeover requires Owner signature on the Migrate commit. If the Owner is offline and cannot sign:

* Forced takeover is blocked (intentional security — only Owner can authorize sequencer changes)
* Mitigation: ensure Owner's client/key is highly available, or use Transfer(owner) before sequencer goes offline

## 10. Node API

*TODO: Endpoints and request formats assigned to Tomo*

### Error Response Format

When a node rejects a commit or request, it MUST return an error response:

```json
{
  "type": "Error",
  "code": "<ERROR_CODE>",
  "message": "<human-readable description>",
  ...additional fields specific to the error...
}
```

| Field        | Required | Description                                      |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ |

***

## 11. Templates

Predefined RBAC templates for common enclave patterns.

When `use_temp` is set in Manifest content, the node uses the referenced template instead of the explicit `schema` field.

| Template | Description                      |
| -------- | -------------------------------- |
| `none`   | No template; use explicit schema |

**v1 Scope:**

In ENC v1, only `none` is supported. Additional templates (e.g., `chat`, `forum`, `personal`) are planned for future versions. Nodes MUST reject Manifests with unrecognized `use_temp` values. For the recommended `personal` enclave schema using explicit `none` template, see Appendix A.

***

## Appendix A: Design Patterns

*This section is non-normative. It describes common usage patterns, not protocol requirements. Detailed RBAC designs for each pattern are in [Personal Enclave](app/personal.md), [DM Enclave](app/dm.md), and [Group Chat](app/group.md).*

### Shared Enclave

A **Shared Enclave** is an enclave whose data and access-control are intended to be jointly used by **multiple identities**.

**Typical characteristics**

* **Multi-writer / multi-reader** by design
* RBAC is centered on **group roles** (e.g., Admin/Member/Moderator)
* Data is considered **collective** (not owned by a single identity)

**Examples**

* Group chat enclave
* A protocol-level registry/directory enclave
* DAO / project coordination enclave
* Shared public feed with moderators

### Personal Enclave

> For the full RBAC v2 design, see **[Personal Enclave](app/personal.md)**.

A **Personal Enclave** is an enclave whose data is logically **owned and controlled by a single identity**, even if many others can read or contribute under permission.

**Typical characteristics**

* A single "owner" identity is the **final authority** for RBAC and lifecycle
* Designed for **portable identity-scoped data** with a unified API
* Others may write *into* it (e.g., comments, reactions) but the enclave remains **owner-governed**

**Examples**

* A user's posts / profile / settings enclave
* A user's inbox / notifications enclave
* Personal "data vault" enclave used across apps

For the full RBAC v2 manifest, state transitions, and event-operator matrix, see **[Personal Enclave](app/personal.md)**.

After creating a personal enclave, the owner SHOULD register their identity via `Reg_Identity` (see Section 8) with the `enclaves.personal` field pointing to the personal enclave. This enables other users to discover the enclave by public key:

```
id_pub → Reg_Identity → enclaves.personal → enclave_id → Reg_Enclave → node
```

### Group Chat

A **Group Chat Enclave** is a shared space for multi-party messaging. It uses the RBAC v2 State/trait model with PENDING, MEMBER, and BLOCKED states, plus owner/admin/muted/dataview traits. Multiple join paths (application, auto-join, direct invite), gated transitions, and trait-based moderation. Lazy MLS encryption with tree ratchet for O(log N) epoch distribution.

For the full design pattern, see **[Group Chat Enclave](app/group.md)**.

### How to Choose

Use **Shared** when:

* The enclave represents a **group object** (a room, project, DAO, registry)
* Governance and policy must be **collective** or moderator-driven
* Many identities are **primary contributors**

Use **Personal** when:

* The enclave represents **identity-scoped state** (my profile, my posts, my inbox)
* You want data to be **portable across apps**
* One identity should remain the **owner-of-record**

### DM (Direct Message)

> For the full RBAC v2 design with per-contact epoch encryption, see **[DM Enclave](app/dm.md)**.

**DM** is a messaging pattern built on **personal enclaves**, not a shared conversation enclave.

Each identity maintains a **personal mailbox enclave** that receives incoming messages.

**How it works**

* Alice sends a message event to **Bob's personal enclave**
* Bob replies by sending a message event to **Alice's personal enclave**
* Bob's client MAY also store a **local copy** of his outgoing reply in **Bob's own enclave**

**Properties**

* Messages are **asymmetric by default** (each direction is a separate write)
* Each participant maintains a **complete local history** inside their own enclave
* Ownership and RBAC are enforced **per enclave**, independently
* No shared or mutually-owned log is required

**Implication**

DM is modeled as:

> "write into the recipient's enclave, optionally mirror into the sender's enclave"

—not:

> "append to a shared conversation log"

### Important Note

There is no mandatory "type" field. You MAY include a hint in metadata (e.g., `meta.enclave_kind = "shared" | "personal"`), but clients must not rely on it for security decisions.

## Appendix B: Event Type Registry

Machine-readable registry of predefined event types. Content Events are any type NOT in this list.

```json
{
  "version": 2,
  "predefined_types": {
    "ac_events": [
      "Manifest",
      "Move",
      "Grant",
      "Revoke",
      "Transfer",
      "Gate",
      "AC_Bundle"
    ],
    "kv_events": [
      "Shared",
      "Own"
    ],
    "lifecycle_events": [
      "Pause",
      "Resume",
      "Terminate",
      "Migrate"
    ],
    "mutation_events": [
      "Update",
      "Delete"
    ],
    "registry_events": [
      "Reg_Node",
      "Reg_Enclave",
      "Reg_Identity"
    ]
  }
}
```

**Usage:**

To determine if an event is a Content Event:

```
is_content_event = type NOT IN any predefined_types category
```

**Note:** `registry_events` (Reg\_Node, Reg\_Enclave, Reg\_Identity) ARE Content Events within the Registry enclave. They can be Updated or Deleted per the Registry's RBAC schema. They are listed separately for documentation purposes.

For event processing rules, see [rbac-v2.md](rbac-v2.md) Section 8.

### WebSocket API

Real-time pub/sub for event subscriptions.

**Endpoint:** `wss://<node_host>/`

**Subscription is automatic:** First valid Query on a connection creates a subscription. Node assigns `sub_id` and begins streaming events.

***

#### Connection Model

| Direction | Type      | Description                                        |
| --------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| C → N     | `Query`   | First valid Query subscribes, node assigns sub\_id |
| C ← N     | `Event`   | Stored events (encrypted)                          |
| C ← N     | `EOSE`    | End of stored events                               |
| C ← N     | `Event`   | Live updates (encrypted)                           |
| C → N     | `Commit`  | Write event                                        |
| C ← N     | `Receipt` | Write success                                      |
| C ← N     | `Error`   | Write error                                        |
| C → N     | `Close`   | Unsubscribe from subscription                      |
| C ← N     | `Closed`  | Subscription terminated                            |
| C ← N     | `Notice`  | Informational message                              |

#### Client → Node

| Message | Format                                      | Description                                         |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Query   | Same as POST / (Query)                      | First valid Query subscribes, node assigns `sub_id` |
| Commit  | Same as POST / (Commit)                     | Write event, returns Receipt                        |
| Close   | `{ "type": "Close", "sub_id": "<string>" }` | Unsubscribe from subscription                       |

**Note:** `Close` unsubscribes from a single subscription. To close the entire WebSocket connection, close the WebSocket transport directly. Closing the transport terminates all active subscriptions.

***

#### Node → Client

**Event (stored or live):**

```json
{
  "type": "Event",
  "sub_id": "<string>",
  "event": "<encrypted>"
}
```

**End of Stored Events:**

```json
{
  "type": "EOSE",
  "sub_id": "<string>"
}
```

**Write Success:** Receipt (same as HTTP)

```json
{
  "type": "Receipt",
  "id": "<hex64>",
  "hash": "<hex64>",
  "timestamp": 1706000000000,
  "sequencer": "<hex64>",
  "seq": 42,
  "alg": "schnorr",
  "sig": "<hex128>",
  "seq_sig": "<hex128>"
}
```

**Write Error:**

```json
{
  "type": "Error",
  "code": "<CODE>",
  "message": "<reason>"
}
```

**Subscription Closed:**

```json
{
  "type": "Closed",
  "sub_id": "<string>",
  "reason": "<reason_code>"
}
```

**Closed Reasons:**

| Reason               | Description                            | Client Action                                   |

| `access_revoked`     | Identity's read permission was revoked | Permanent; re-subscribe if permission restored  |
| `session_expired`    | Session token expired                  | Generate new session, re-subscribe              |
| `enclave_terminated` | Enclave was terminated                 | Permanent; no recovery                          |
| `enclave_paused`     | Enclave was paused                     | Wait for Resume event, then re-subscribe        |
| `enclave_migrated`   | Enclave migrated to new node           | Query Registry for new node, re-subscribe there |

**Notice:**

```json
{
  "type": "Notice",
  "message": "<string>"
}
```

***

#### Node Processing

**On Query:**

1. Verify session (same as HTTP)
2. Check AC (read permission)
3. Generate `sub_id`, store subscription
4. Send matching events as `Event` messages (encrypted)
5. Send `EOSE` message
6. On new events matching filter → push `Event` to client

**On Commit:**

Same as HTTP, returns Receipt.

**On Close:**

Remove subscription. Terminate connection if none remain.

***

#### Connection Lifecycle

**Termination conditions:**

* All subscriptions closed by client
* All sessions expired
* All access revoked
* Client disconnects

**Multi-key support:**

* One connection, multiple identities (`from`)
* Each identity has own session
* Session expiry only affects that identity's subscriptions

***

#### HTTP vs WebSocket

| Aspect  | HTTP              | WebSocket                |
| ------- | ----------------- | ------------------------ |
| Query   | One-time response | Subscribe + live updates |
| sub\_id | N/A               | Node assigns             |
| Commit  | Receipt           | Receipt                  |
| Session | Per-request       | Cached per connection    |
| State   | Stateless         | Subscriptions            |

***

**Verification Flow:**

To fully verify a state proof is authentic and from the requested tree position:

1. **Verify SMT proof** against `state_hash` (see proof.md)
2. **Request CT inclusion proof** for `leaf_index` via `POST /inclusion`
3. **Verify CT inclusion:** Recompute leaf as `H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)` and verify against signed CT root
4. **Verify STH signature** to authenticate the CT root

This binds the SMT state to a specific, signed tree checkpoint. See [proof.md](proof.md) for detailed algorithms.

### Webhook Delivery

Node delivers Push messages via HTTPS POST to registered endpoints. See [Appendix: Push/Notify](#pushnotify) for design rationale.

***

#### Grant with Push Endpoint

A Grant event with P (push) ops and an `endpoint` field registers a webhook endpoint. See spec.md for event structure and content fields.

Node maintains queue per `(identity, url)`:

* Aggregates events from all enclaves **on this node** where identity has P/N permission
* Tracks single `push_seq` per queue
* All enclaves in a Push delivery share the node's `seq_priv` for encryption

**Multiple Endpoints:**

An identity MAY register multiple webhook endpoints via separate Grant events with different `endpoint` values. Each `(identity, url)` pair has its own `push_seq` and event queue. Events are delivered independently to each endpoint. To replace an endpoint, submit a new Grant with the new URL; both endpoints remain active until explicitly revoked.

**Ordering Guarantee:**

Events within each enclave (`push.enclaves[N].events`) are ordered by sequence number ascending. Events from different enclaves have no guaranteed relative ordering. If global ordering is required, use per-enclave `seq` to reconstruct the timeline.

**Endpoint Transition Atomicity:**

When a Grant changes the webhook URL (new Grant with same role, different URL):

1. Old and new endpoints operate as separate queues (no events lost)
2. Old endpoint receives events finalized before the Grant
3. New endpoint receives events finalized after the Grant
4. To stop delivery to old endpoint, explicitly Revoke the role

***

#### Delivery Flow

```
1. Enclave submits Grant event with P ops + endpoint (grants role + registers url)
2. Node adds enclave to (identity, url) queue if not exists
3. On new event, node checks role's P/N permissions
4. Node aggregates events into (identity, url) queue
5. Node periodically POSTs Push to url
6. Node increments push_seq
```

***

#### Push

Webhook delivery containing full events (P permission) and/or event IDs (N permission).

**HTTP Request:**

```
POST <url>
Content-Type: application/json
```

**Body:**

```json
{
  "type": "Push",
  "from": "<hex64>",
  "to": "<hex64>",
  "url": "<string>",
  "content": "<encrypted>"
}
```

| Field   | Type   | Description          |
| ------- | ------ | -------------------- |
| type    | string | Always `"Push"`      |
| from    | hex64  | Sequencer public key |
| to      | hex64  | Recipient identity   |
| url     | string | Webhook URL          |
| content | string | Encrypted payload    |

**Content (plaintext):**

```json
{
  "push_seq": 130,
  "push": {
    "enclaves": [
      { "enclave": "<hex64>", "events": [Event, ...] }
    ]
  },
  "notify": {
    "enclaves": [
      { "enclave": "<hex64>", "seq": 150 }
    ]
  }
}
```

| Field                      | Type   | Description                                |
| -------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| push\_seq                  | uint   | Sequence number per (identity, url)        |
| push                       | object | Full events for enclaves with P permission |
| push.enclaves\[].enclave   | hex64  | Enclave ID                                 |
| push.enclaves\[].events    | array  | Array of Event objects                     |
| notify                     | object | Latest seq for enclaves with N permission  |
| notify.enclaves\[].enclave | hex64  | Enclave ID                                 |
| notify.enclaves\[].seq     | uint   | Latest sequence number in this enclave     |

Either `push` or `notify` may be omitted if empty.

**Encryption:** See [Encryption](#encryption).

**Delivery semantics:**

* At-least-once delivery
* Exponential backoff on failure
* Recipient MUST dedupe by `event.id` (for push) or track last synced seq (for notify)

**Expected response:** `200 OK`

***

#### Pull Fallback

If webhook delivery fails, recipient can pull missed batches.

**Request:**

```json
{
  "type": "Pull",
  "enclave": "<hex64>",
  "from": "<hex64>",
  "content": "<encrypted>"
}
```

**Note:** `enclave` is required in the outer request for signer key derivation during decryption. Any enclave on the node where the identity has a registered webhook can be used.

**Content (plaintext):**

```json
{
  "session": "<hex136>",
  "url": "<string>",
  "push_seq": { "start_after": 5, "end_at": 7 },
  "enclave": "<hex64>"
}
```

| Field     | Type                         | Required | Description                      |
| --------- | ---------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------- |
| session   | hex136                       | Yes      | Session token                    |
| url       | string                       | Yes      | Registered webhook endpoint      |
| push\_seq | uint, \[uint, ...], or Range | Yes      | Batch sequence(s) to retrieve    |
| enclave   | hex64                        | No       | Filter results to single enclave |

**push\_seq formats:**

* Single: `6` — returns batch 6
* Array: `[6, 7, 8]` — returns batches 6, 7, 8
* Range: `{ "start_after": 5, "end_at": 7 }` — returns batches 6, 7

**Response:**

```json
{
  "type": "Response",
  "content": "<encrypted>"
}
```

**Content (plaintext):**

```json
[
  {
    "push_seq": 6,
    "push": { "enclaves": [...] },
    "notify": { "enclaves": [...] }
  },
  {
    "push_seq": 7,
    "push": { "enclaves": [...] },
    "notify": { "enclaves": [...] }
  }
]
```

Array of batches. Each batch has same structure as Push delivery content.

**Range Handling:**

When `push_seq` is a Range:

* `start_after` / `end_at` are inclusive/exclusive as documented
* Results are ordered by `push_seq` ascending
* If `enclave` filter is provided, only events from that enclave are included in each batch
* If `enclave` is omitted, all enclaves in the original batch are included

**Retry Policy:**

Node retries webhook delivery with exponential backoff per spec.md. After max retries exhausted, batch is moved to dead-letter queue. Recipient can recover via Pull fallback.

**Encryption:** Same as Query. See [Encryption](#encryption).

## Appendix

### Session

Session tokens provide stateless authentication for queries.

***

#### Token Format

136 hex characters = 68 bytes

```
Bytes 0-31:   r          (Schnorr signature R value)
Bytes 32-63:  session_pub (x-only public key)
Bytes 64-67:  expires    (big-endian uint32, Unix seconds)
```

***

#### Client Derivation

```
1. expires = now + duration (max 7200 seconds)
2. message = "enc:session:" || be32(expires)
3. sig = schnorr_sign(sha256(message), id_priv)    // always Schnorr
4. r = sig[0:32]
5. s = sig[32:64]
6. session_priv = s
7. session_pub = point(s)
8. session = hex(r || session_pub || be32(expires))
```

**Note:** Session token derivation always uses Schnorr. The `alg` field does not apply to session tokens. Hardware signers that only support ECDSA (e.g., NFC/JavaCard) can submit commits but cannot create session tokens. Such devices require a software co-signer or proxy for query/subscription authentication.

***

#### Node Verification

O(1) EC math — no signature verification.

```
1. Parse: r, session_pub, expires from token
2. Check: expires > now - 60 (allow 60s clock skew)
3. Check: expires ≤ now + 7200 + 60 (allow 60s clock skew)
4. message = "enc:session:" || be32(expires)
5. expected = r + sha256(r || from || message) * from
6. Verify: session_pub == expected
```

Clock skew tolerance (±60 seconds) allows clients with slightly-off clocks to connect.

**Curve Parameters:**

All EC arithmetic uses secp256k1. The curve order is:

```
n = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
```

All scalar operations (addition, multiplication) are performed modulo `n`.

***

#### Signer Derivation

Per-node signer for ECDH.

```
t = sha256(session_pub || seq_pub || enclave)
signer_priv = session_priv + t (mod n)
signer_pub = session_pub + t * G
```

**Design Rationale:**

The `enclave` ID is included in the signer derivation so that the same `session_pub` produces different signer keys for different enclaves. This provides per-enclave key isolation:

* Session token is reusable across enclaves (same `session_pub`)
* Derived encryption key (via `signer_pub`) is enclave-specific
* A compromised signer key in Enclave A cannot decrypt messages for Enclave B

This is intentional and provides defense-in-depth.

**Security Properties:**

| Property               | Protected?  | Reason                                                     |
| ---------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cross-session reuse    | ✓           | Different `session_pub` → different `t` → different signer |
| Cross-enclave reuse    | ✓           | Different `enclave` → different `t` → different signer     |
| Cross-node reuse       | ✓           | Different `seq_pub` → different `t` → different signer     |
| Same session + enclave | Same signer | Intentional — enables session continuity                   |

No additional replay protection is needed; the derivation inputs guarantee uniqueness.

### Filter

Query filter for event retrieval.

***

#### Structure

```json
{
  "id": "<hex64> | [<hex64>, ...]",
  "seq": "<uint> | [<uint>, ...] | Range",
  "type": "<string> | [<string>, ...]",
  "from": "<hex64> | [<hex64>, ...]",
  "tags": { "<tag_name>": "<value> | [<value>, ...] | true" },
  "timestamp": "Range (Unix ms)",
  "limit": 100,
  "reverse": false
}
```

All fields are optional. Omitted field = no filter (match all).

**Tags Filter:**

The `tags` field filters events by tag presence or value:

* `{ "r": "abc123..." }` — events with `r` tag matching value
* `{ "r": ["abc123...", "def456..."] }` — events with `r` tag matching any value
* `{ "auto-delete": true }` — events with `auto-delete` tag (any value)

**Default Sort Order:**

Events are sorted by sequence number ascending unless `reverse: true`. This is the canonical enclave order.

***

#### Range

```json
{
  "start_at": 100,      // >= 100
  "start_after": 100,   // > 100
  "end_at": 200,        // <= 200
  "end_before": 200     // < 200
}
```

***

#### Semantics

| Pattern          | Meaning   |
| ---------------- | --------- |
| Top-level fields | AND       |
| Array values     | OR        |
| Omitted field    | Match all |

***

#### Limits

| Field                 | Max  |
| --------------------- | ---- |
| `id[]`                | 100  |
| `seq[]`               | 100  |
| `type[]`              | 20   |
| `from[]`              | 100  |
| `tags` keys           | 10   |
| `tags` values per key | 20   |
| `limit`               | 1000 |

***

#### Examples

**By type:**

```json
{ "type": "Chat_Message" }
```

**By authors:**

```

**Time range:**

```json
{ "timestamp": { "start_at": 1704067200000, "end_before": 1704153600000 } }
```

**Resume from seq:**

```json
{ "seq": { "start_after": 150 }, "limit": 100 }
```

**Newest first:**

```json
{ "type": "Chat_Message", "reverse": true, "limit": 20 }
```

### Encryption

Client-node communication is encrypted using ECDH + XChaCha20Poly1305.

***

#### Overview

| Context         | Client Key     | Node Key  | HKDF Label       |
| --------------- | -------------- | --------- | ---------------- |
| Query request   | signer\_priv   | seq\_pub  | `"enc:query"`    |
| Query response  | signer\_priv   | seq\_pub  | `"enc:response"` |
| Pull request    | signer\_priv   | seq\_pub  | `"enc:query"`    |
| Pull response   | signer\_priv   | seq\_pub  | `"enc:response"` |
| WebSocket event | signer\_priv   | seq\_pub  | `"enc:response"` |
| Push delivery   | to (recipient) | seq\_priv | `"enc:push"`     |

***

#### Query Encryption (Client → Node)

Client encrypts query content:

```
1. Derive signer from session:
   t = sha256(session_pub || seq_pub || enclave)
   signer_priv = session_priv + t (mod n)

2. Compute shared secret:
   shared = ECDH(signer_priv, seq_pub)

3. Derive key and encrypt:
   key = HKDF(shared, "enc:query")
   ciphertext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Encrypt(key, plaintext)
```

Node decrypts:

```
1. Derive signer_pub from session_pub:
   t = sha256(session_pub || seq_pub || enclave)
   signer_pub = session_pub + t * G

2. Compute shared secret:
   shared = ECDH(seq_priv, signer_pub)

3. Decrypt:
   key = HKDF(shared, "enc:query")
   plaintext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Decrypt(key, ciphertext)
```

***

#### Response Encryption (Node → Client)

Node encrypts response (HTTP and WebSocket):

```
shared = ECDH(seq_priv, signer_pub)
key = HKDF(shared, "enc:response")
ciphertext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Encrypt(key, plaintext)
```

Client decrypts:

```
shared = ECDH(signer_priv, seq_pub)
key = HKDF(shared, "enc:response")
plaintext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Decrypt(key, ciphertext)
```

***

#### Push Encryption (Node → Webhook)

Node encrypts webhook payload:

```
shared = ECDH(seq_priv, to)
key = HKDF(shared, "enc:push")
ciphertext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Encrypt(key, plaintext)
```

Recipient decrypts:

```
shared = ECDH(recipient_priv, seq_pub)
key = HKDF(shared, "enc:push")
plaintext = XChaCha20Poly1305_Decrypt(key, ciphertext)
```

***

#### Primitives

| Primitive | Specification     |
| --------- | ----------------- |
| ECDH      | secp256k1         |
| HKDF      | HKDF-SHA256       |
| AEAD      | XChaCha20Poly1305 |

**HKDF Parameters:**

```
IKM   = ECDH shared secret (32 bytes)
salt  = empty (no salt)
info  = UTF-8 encoded label string, NO null terminator
        e.g., "enc:query" = 9 bytes: 0x65 0x6E 0x63 0x3A 0x71 0x75 0x65 0x72 0x79
L     = 32 bytes (256-bit key)
```

**XChaCha20Poly1305 Nonce:**

```
nonce = random 24 bytes, prepended to ciphertext
ciphertext_wire = nonce || ciphertext || tag
```

Recipient extracts first 24 bytes as nonce before decryption.

**Minimum Length:** `ciphertext_wire` MUST be at least 40 bytes (24-byte nonce + 16-byte Poly1305 tag). Shorter values indicate malformed or truncated ciphertext — implementations MUST reject with `DECRYPT_FAILED`.

WebSocket errors use the same JSON format as HTTP errors. HTTP status codes do not apply to WebSocket; use the application-level `code` field instead.

***

### Push/Notify

#### Problem

A DataView server may have P/N permissions across hundreds of enclaves on the same node. Naive approach — one HTTP request per event per enclave — creates massive overhead.

#### Solution

Node aggregates events into a single queue per `(identity, url)` pair.

```
Enclave A ──┐
Enclave B ──┼──► Queue (identity, url) ──► Single POST to url
Enclave C ──┘
```

#### Why This Is Efficient

| Aspect               | Benefit                                               |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Batching             | One POST delivers events from many enclaves           |
| Single sequence      | One `push_seq` for gap detection across all enclaves  |
| Periodic aggregation | Node batches events instead of instant push per event |
| Unified message      | Push and Notify combined in single delivery           |

#### Pull Fallback Efficiency

When webhook delivery fails, recipient uses Pull to recover. The single sequence number makes this extremely efficient:

**Without unified sequence (naive):**

```
Recipient must track:
  - Enclave A: last_seq = 42
  - Enclave B: last_seq = 17
  - Enclave C: last_seq = 103
  ...hundreds of enclaves...

Recovery requires:
  - One Query per enclave
  - Complex state management
  - N round trips for N enclaves
```

**With unified push\_seq:**

```
Recipient tracks:
  - push_seq = 130

Recovery requires:
  - One Pull request with Range
  - Returns all missed batches
  - Single round trip
```

**Gap detection is trivial:**

* Received push\_seq 5, then 8 → know you missed 6, 7
* Pull with `push_seq: { "start_after": 5, "end_at": 7 }` returns both batches in one request

This is why the queue is per `(identity, url)` not per enclave — it enables O(1) state tracking regardless of how many enclaves you're subscribed to.

#### Push vs Notify (within same message)

A single Push delivery contains both:

* `push.enclaves[]` — full events for enclaves with P permission
* `notify.enclaves[]` — latest seq for enclaves with N permission

|          | push           | notify             |
| -------- | -------------- | ------------------ |
| Content  | Full events    | Latest seq only    |
| Use case | Real-time sync | Lightweight alerts |

#### Permissions

| Permission | What it grants                                  |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| P (Push)   | Receive full event content in `push.enclaves[]` |
| N (Notify) | Receive latest seq in `notify.enclaves[]`       |
| R (Read)   | Query full event content from enclave           |

**Important:** P delivers full content directly. N only delivers the latest seq — to fetch full events, you need R permission on that enclave.

**Example:**

```
Identity has:
  - Enclave A: P permission → full events in push.enclaves[]
  - Enclave B: N permission → seq in notify.enclaves[]
  - Enclave C: N + R permissions → seq in notify.enclaves[], can Query full events
```

If you only have N (no R), you know new events exist but cannot read their content. This is useful for:

* Mobile push notifications (just alert user)
* Protocol-level sync signals (trigger sync via other means)
* Audit logging (record that activity occurred)

#### Typical Pattern

1. Receive Push with notify.enclaves\[].seq
2. Query events with `{ "seq": { "start_after": last_synced_seq } }` (requires R permission)
3. Full events arrive directly in push.enclaves\[] if you have P permission

#### Node Internal Table

```
Key:   (identity, url)
Value: { push_seq, enclaves[] }
```

For each enclave, node tracks which events to include based on role permissions.


## Cryptographic Proofs

This document specifies proof formats for the ENC protocol.

***

### Overview

The ENC protocol uses two types of Merkle proofs:

| Proof Type             | Purpose                                    | Tree                     |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| **CT Inclusion**       | Prove event exists at position N in log    | Certificate Transparency |
| **CT Consistency**     | Prove earlier log is prefix of current log | Certificate Transparency |
| **SMT Membership**     | Prove key-value pair exists in state       | Sparse Merkle Tree       |
| **SMT Non-membership** | Prove key does not exist in state          | Sparse Merkle Tree       |

***

### CT Proofs

#### Bundle Membership Proof

Proves that an event is part of a specific bundle.

**Structure:**

```
{
  event_id: <32 bytes>,
  bundle_index: <number>,
  siblings: [<hash>, ...]
}
```

Where:

* **event\_id** — the event being proven
* **bundle\_index** — position of event within the bundle (0-indexed)
* **siblings** — Merkle proof siblings from event\_id to events\_root

**Verification:**

1. Set `hash = event_id`, `index = bundle_index`
2. For each sibling `s` in `siblings` array (from leaf toward root):
   * If `index` is even (LSB = 0): `hash = H(0x01, hash, s)` — current is left child
   * If `index` is odd (LSB = 1): `hash = H(0x01, s, hash)` — current is right child
   * `index = index >> 1` (shift right by 1)
3. Verify `hash == events_root`

**Algorithm Notes:**

* `bundle_index` is the event's 0-indexed position within the bundle
* The LSB (least significant bit) of `index` determines left (0) or right (1) at each level
* After each hash step, shift `index` right to get the parent's position
* Siblings are ordered from leaf level (closest to event) to root level

**Example:**

Bundle with 4 events, verifying event at `bundle_index = 2`:

```
        events_root
           /    \
         h01    h23
        /  \   /  \
       e0  e1 e2  e3   ← bundle_index: 0, 1, 2, 3
```

* Start: `hash = e2`, `index = 2` (binary: `10`)
* Step 1: LSB(2) = 0 → `hash = H(0x01, hash, siblings[0])` where `siblings[0] = e3`
* Shift: `index = 1`
* Step 2: LSB(1) = 1 → `hash = H(0x01, siblings[1], hash)` where `siblings[1] = h01`
* Result: `hash` should equal `events_root`

With `bundle.size = 1`, the bundle contains one event, so siblings is empty and events\_root = event\_id.

#### CT Inclusion Proof

Proves that a bundle exists at a specific position in the log.

**Structure:**

```
{
  tree_size: <uint64>,
  leaf_index: <uint64>,
  path: [<hash>, ...]
}
```

Where:

* **tree\_size** — number of bundles in the tree when proof was generated
* **leaf\_index** — 0-based position of the bundle in the log
* **path** — sibling hashes from leaf to root

**Leaf Hash:**

```
leaf_hash = H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)
```

Where `events_root` is the Merkle root of event IDs in the bundle, and `state_hash` is the SMT root after the bundle.

**Verification (RFC 9162 Section 2.1.3.2):**

1. Set `fn = leaf_index`, `sn = tree_size - 1`, `r = leaf_hash`
2. For each `p` in path:
   * a. If `sn == 0`: FAIL (proof too long)
   * b. If `LSB(fn) == 1` or `fn == sn`:
     * `r = H(0x01, p, r)`
     * While `LSB(fn) == 0` and `fn != 0`: `fn >>= 1; sn >>= 1`
   * c. Else:
     * `r = H(0x01, r, p)`
   * d. `fn >>= 1; sn >>= 1`
3. Verify `sn == 0` and `r == expected_root`

**Test Vector:**

```
Tree size: 7, Leaf index: 5
Initial: fn=5, sn=6

Step 1 (p[0]): LSB(5)=1 → r=H(0x01,p[0],r), shift → fn=2, sn=3
Step 2 (p[1]): LSB(2)=0, fn≠sn → r=H(0x01,r,p[1]), shift → fn=1, sn=1
Step 3 (p[2]): fn==sn → r=H(0x01,p[2],r), shift → fn=0, sn=0

Final: sn=0 ✓, compare r to expected_root
```

**Edge Cases:**

1. **Single-element tree (tree\_size = 1, leaf\_index = 0):**
   * Initial: `fn = 0`, `sn = 0`
   * `path` is empty (no siblings)
   * Skip the loop and verify `r == expected_root` directly

2. **Leaf at last position (leaf\_index = tree\_size - 1):**
   * Valid case; algorithm handles via `fn == sn` condition

#### CT Consistency Proof

Proves that an earlier log state is a prefix of the current state.

**Structure:**

```
{
  tree_size_1: <uint64>,
  tree_size_2: <uint64>,
  path: [<hash>, ...]
}
```

Where:

* **tree\_size\_1** — size of the older (smaller) tree
* **tree\_size\_2** — size of the newer (larger) tree
* **path** — sibling hashes proving consistency

**Precondition:** `tree_size_1 <= tree_size_2`. If `tree_size_1 > tree_size_2`, reject with `INVALID_RANGE` error immediately.

**Verification:**

1. If `tree_size_1 == tree_size_2`: verify path has 1 element equal to both roots
2. If `tree_size_1` is a power of 2: prepend `first_hash` to path
3. Set `fn = tree_size_1 - 1`, `sn = tree_size_2 - 1`
4. While `LSB(fn) == 0`: shift both `fn` and `sn` right by 1
5. Set `fr = path[0]`, `sr = path[0]`
6. For each `c` in path\[1:]:
   * If `sn == 0`: FAIL
   * If `LSB(fn) == 1` or `fn == sn`: set `fr = H(0x01, c, fr)`, `sr = H(0x01, c, sr)`, then while `LSB(fn) == 0` and `fn != 0`: shift both right by 1
   * Else: set `sr = H(0x01, sr, c)`
   * Shift both `fn` and `sn` right by 1
7. Verify `fr == first_hash`, `sr == second_hash`, and `sn == 0`

Based on RFC 9162 Section 2.1.4.

#### Signed Tree Head (STH)

The sequencer signs the CT root periodically to create a checkpoint.

**Structure:**

```
{
  t:   <timestamp>,
  ts:  <tree_size>,
  r:   <root_hash>,
  sig: <signature>
}
```

Where:

* **t** — Unix milliseconds when STH was generated
* **ts** — number of bundles in the tree
* **r** — CT root hash (32 bytes)
* **sig** — Schnorr signature over the STH (always Schnorr; the `alg` field applies only to client signatures, not sequencer signatures)

**Signature:**

```
message = "enc:sth:" || be64(t) || be64(ts) || r
sig = schnorr_sign(sha256(message), seq_priv)
```

Where `r` is the raw 32-byte root hash (NOT hex-encoded). The message is binary concatenation:

* `"enc:sth:"` = 8 bytes UTF-8
* `be64(t)` = 8 bytes big-endian
* `be64(ts)` = 8 bytes big-endian
* `r` = 32 bytes raw

Total: 56 bytes before SHA256.

**Wire Format (JSON):**

```json
{
  "t": 1706000000000,
  "ts": 1000,
  "r": "<hex64>",
  "sig": "<hex128>"
}
```

**Verification:**

1. Reconstruct message: `"enc:sth:" || be64(t) || be64(ts) || hex_decode(r)`
2. Verify: `schnorr_verify(sha256(message), sig, seq_pub)`

#### Full Event Proof

To fully prove an event exists and verify its state:

1. **Bundle membership proof** — proves event\_id is in bundle's events\_root
2. **CT inclusion proof** — proves bundle is in CT tree
3. **SMT proof** — proves state claim against bundle's state\_hash

This two-level structure allows efficient bundling while maintaining per-event verifiability.

***

### SMT Proofs

SMT proofs verify state claims (RBAC assignments, event status) against the `state_hash`.

#### Proof Structure

```
{
  key: <21 bytes>,
  value: <bytes | null>,
  bitmap: <21 bytes>,
  siblings: [<hash>, ...]
}
```

Where:

* **key** — 21-byte SMT key (namespace + truncated path)
* **value** — leaf value (null for non-membership proof)
* **bitmap** — 168 bits indicating which siblings are present (1) vs empty (0)
* **siblings** — only non-empty sibling hashes, in order

Empty siblings are omitted; verifier uses `empty_hash` for missing slots.

**Bitmap Bit Ordering (LSB-first):**

Bit N corresponds to depth N in the tree, where depth 0 is closest to the root and depth 167 is the leaf level.

**Bit numbering within bytes:** LSB-first. Bit 0 is the least significant bit (rightmost). Bit 7 is the most significant bit (leftmost).

**Bitmap Example:**

For a proof with non-empty siblings at depths 0, 10, and 167:

* Bitmap bit 0 = 1 (sibling at root level)
* Bitmap bit 10 = 1 (sibling at depth 10)
* Bitmap bit 167 = 1 (sibling at leaf level)
* All other bits = 0

Serialized as 21 bytes (168 bits), with bit 0 = LSB of byte 0. The `siblings` array contains exactly 3 hashes, in depth order (0, 10, 167).

**Bit-to-Byte Mapping:**

Depth D maps to: `byte[D / 8]`, bit `(D % 8)` where bit 0 is LSB.

Example: depth 10 → byte\[1], bit 2 (since 10 / 8 = 1, 10 % 8 = 2)

**Hex Serialization:**

The 21-byte bitmap is serialized as a hex string in standard byte order:

* Byte 0 (containing bits 0-7) is the first two hex characters
* Byte 20 (containing bits 160-167) is the last two hex characters

Example: Depths 0, 10, 167 have siblings:

* Byte 0 = `0x01` (bit 0 set)
* Byte 1 = `0x04` (bit 10 = bit 2 of byte 1)
* Byte 20 = `0x80` (bit 167 = bit 7 of byte 20)
* Hex: `"010400...80"` (42 chars total)

#### Verification

1. Compute leaf hash: `H(0x20, key, value)` (or `empty_hash` if value is null)
2. For each depth from 167 to 0:
   * If bitmap bit is 1: use next sibling from array
   * If bitmap bit is 0: use `empty_hash`
   * Compute: `H(0x21, left, right)`
3. Compare with expected root (`state_hash`)

#### Non-Membership Verification

A non-membership proof proves that a key does not exist in the SMT.

**Verification:**

1. Verify that `value` is `null`
2. Compute the expected leaf hash as `empty_hash` (the key has no value)
3. Follow the same path computation as membership verification
4. Compare result with expected root (`state_hash`)

If the computed root matches and the path is valid with an empty leaf, the key does not exist in the tree.

#### Empty Node Hash

```
empty_hash = sha256("")
           = 0xe3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
```

Hardcoded constant — do not compute at runtime.

### Wire Format (JSON)

The normative wire format for v1 is JSON.

#### SMT Proof

```json
{
  "k": "<hex>",
  "v": "<hex | null>",
  "b": "<hex>",
  "s": ["<hex>", ...]
}
```

| Field | Encoding                                           |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| k     | Hex string, 42 chars (21 bytes)                    |
| v     | Hex string or JSON null (see Value Encoding below) |
| b     | Hex string, 42 chars (21 bytes)                    |
| s     | Array of hex strings, 64 chars each (32 bytes)     |

**Value Encoding by Proof Type:**

| Proof Type             | v Field                                          |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| RBAC membership        | Hex string, 64 chars (32-byte padded bitmask)    |
| Event Status (deleted) | `"00"` (1 byte)                                  |
| Event Status (updated) | Hex string, 64 chars (32-byte update\_event\_id) |
| Non-membership         | `null` (JSON null, not string)                   |

#### CT Inclusion Proof

```json
{
  "ts": 1000,
  "li": 42,
  "p": ["<hex>", ...]
}
```

| Field | Encoding                                       |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| ts    | Integer (tree\_size)                           |
| li    | Integer (leaf\_index)                          |
| p     | Array of hex strings, 64 chars each (32 bytes) |

#### CT Consistency Proof

```json
{
  "ts1": 500,
  "ts2": 1000,
  "p": ["<hex>", ...]
}
```

| Field | Encoding                                       |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| ts1   | Integer (tree\_size\_1)                        |
| ts2   | Integer (tree\_size\_2)                        |
| p     | Array of hex strings, 64 chars each (32 bytes) |

#### Bundle Membership Proof

```json
{
  "ei": 2,
  "s": ["<hex>", ...]
}
```

| Field | Encoding                                       |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| ei    | Integer (event index within bundle, 0-indexed) |
| s     | Array of hex strings, 64 chars each (32 bytes) |

**Note:** With `bundle.size = 1`, the bundle contains one event, so `s` is empty and `ei` is 0.

**Note:** Wire format omits `event_id` as the verifier already knows the event being proven from request context. For self-contained proofs (e.g., archival), include `event_id` separately.


## RBAC System Design

**Version**: 2.0 (redesign)
**Status**: Design
**Supersedes**: spec.md RBAC section, task 002/003 RBAC designs

***

### 1. Overview

The RBAC system controls authorization for all events in an enclave. Every event — content events (message), AC events (Move, Grant, Revoke), KV events (Shared, Own), and lifecycle events (Pause, Terminate) — is authorized through the manifest. See Section 5 for manifest format and Section 6 for validation rules.

#### 1.1 Terminology

The old unified "role" is retired. Three column types replace it:

| Concept     | Convention  | Examples                 | Encoding         | Changed by                       | Semantics                                            |
| ----------- | ----------- | ------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **State**   | UPPER\_CASE | PENDING, MEMBER, BLOCKED | 8-bit enum       | Move                             | WHERE you are. Base permissions. Mutually exclusive. |
| **trait**   | lower\_case | owner, admin, muted      | Flag bits        | Grant / Revoke / Transfer / init | WHAT modifies you. Additive or deny ops. Ranked.     |
| **Context** | PascalCase  | Self, Sender, Public     | System-evaluated | (implicit)                       | System condition. Determined at authorization time.  |

#### 1.2 Operations

Six operations apply to all event types:

| Op | Meaning                                 | Deny |
| -- | --------------------------------------- | ---- |
| C  | Create                                  | \_C  |
| R  | Read                                    | \_R  |
| U  | Update                                  | \_U  |
| D  | Delete                                  | \_D  |
| N  | Notify (lightweight, human clients)     | \_N  |
| P  | Push (full delivery, service endpoints) | \_P  |

Positive ops grant capabilities. Negative (deny) ops revoke capabilities. The sign comes from the schema entry, not the bitmask.

***

### 2. Bitmask Encoding

All RBAC state for an identity is stored in a single bitmask value in the SMT (namespace 0x00), keyed by the identity's public key.

```
bits 0-7:    State enum
bits 8+:     trait flags
```

#### 2.1 State Enum (bits 0-7)

8-bit integer field. All 8 bits together encode a single value. Mutually exclusive by structure — an identity is in exactly one State.

| Value | Name          | Description                                                              |
| ----- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 0     | OUTSIDER      | Not in the enclave. No SMT leaf exists. Protocol-reserved.               |
| 1-255 | (app-defined) | Custom States defined in manifest. E.g., 1=PENDING, 2=MEMBER, 3=BLOCKED. |

OUTSIDER (0) is the only protocol-reserved State. All other States — including blocking/banning — are app-defined.

State values 1-255 are assigned sequentially from the manifest `states` array. The first State in the array gets value 1, the second gets value 2, etc.

#### 2.2 trait Flags (bits 8+)

Independent flag bits. Each bit represents one trait. Multiple traits can be set simultaneously.

Bit positions are assigned sequentially from the manifest `traits` array: the first trait gets bit 8, the second gets bit 9, etc.

Each trait declares a **rank** using the syntax `name(N)` where N is a non-negative integer. Lower number = higher rank. Multiple traits may share the same rank (peers). Rank determines targeting authority: an operator can only target identities ranked strictly below them (see §7 Rank Rule).

All traits are managed uniformly:

* Assigned via `init`, `Grant`, or `Transfer`.
* Removed via `Revoke`, `Transfer`, or `Move` (clears all trait flags unless `preserve: true`).
* Rank determines targeting authority (lower number = higher authority).

The bitmask does not distinguish positive from negative traits. A "muted" trait flag at bit 10 is stored identically to an "admin" trait flag at bit 9. The sign (positive or negative ops) comes from the schema entry, not the bitmask.

#### 2.3 SMT Leaf Lifecycle

* **Join**: Move(OUTSIDER, X) creates a new SMT leaf with State=X and no trait flags.
* **State change**: Move(X, Y) updates the State enum and clears all trait flags (unless `preserve: true`).
* **Leave**: Move(X, OUTSIDER) sets State=0 and clears all traits. If bitmask becomes 0, leaf is deleted.
* **Service account**: Granting a trait to an OUTSIDER creates a leaf with State=0 and trait bit set.
* **Leaf deletion**: SMT leaf is deleted when the **entire bitmask == 0** (no State, no traits).
* **No leaf**: An identity with no SMT leaf is implicitly OUTSIDER with no traits.

Historical membership is provable via the CT log.

***

### 3. Contexts

Contexts are system-evaluated conditions used as columns in the schema. They are not stored — they are determined at authorization time.

#### 3.1 Self

* **Matches when**: The actor is targeting their own identity (`event.from == content.target`).
* **Use case**: AC events — leaving a group (Move Self:C), stepping down from a trait (Revoke Self:C).

#### 3.2 Sender

* **Matches when**: The actor authored the referenced event (`event.from == original_event.from`).
* **Use case**: Content events — editing/deleting own messages (message Sender:UD), removing own reactions (reaction Sender:D), updating own KV slot (Own Sender:U).

#### 3.3 Public

* **Matches when**: Always. Any identity, any State, including OUTSIDER.
* **Use case**: Public read access to group messages, public enclave manifests.

***

### 4. Authorization Algorithm

The authorization algorithm determines whether an identity can perform a specific operation on a specific event type.

```
isAuthorized(identity_bitmask, event_type, operation, is_self, is_sender) → bool

1. Extract State from bitmask (bits 0-7).

2. Collect allowed ops:
   a. State ops (from State column for identity's current State)
   b. trait positive ops (OR across all held trait flags)
   c. Self ops (if is_self == true: event.from == content.target)
   d. Sender ops (if is_sender == true: event.from == original_event.from)
   e. Public ops (always applies)

3. Collect denied ops:
   negative ops from all sources (State _X, trait _X, Self _X, Sender _X, Public _X)

4. Compute effective:
   effective = allowed − denied

5. Return: operation ∈ effective
```

No State gate. traits can extend any State with new capabilities. Safety against invalid State+trait combinations comes from operational constraints:

* Move clears all traits
* Grant validates target State (schema-defined)

#### 4.1 Deny Override

Negative ops always win over positive ops regardless of source. If the effective set has both C (from State) and \_C (from a trait, State, or Context), the result is: C is removed.

***

### 5. Manifest Format

#### 5.1 Manifest Sections

A manifest declares all RBAC rules for an enclave. Ten sections:

| Section     | Purpose                    | Entry format                                                                                          |
| ----------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `states`    | App-defined States         | Array of UPPER\_CASE names. Assigned enum values 1+ sequentially.                                     |
| `traits`    | App-defined traits         | Array of `name(rank)` strings. Assigned bit positions 8+ sequentially. Lower rank = higher authority. |
| `readers`   | Read access                | `[{ type, reads }]`. Each entry declares R ops for one column.                                        |
| `init`      | Initial identities         | `{ identity, state, traits[] }`. Bootstrap SMT at enclave creation.                                   |
| `moves`     | State transitions          | `{ event, from, to, operator, ops }`. Optional `alias` and `gate`.                                    |
| `grants`    | trait assignment rules     | `{ event (Grant/Revoke), operator[], scope[], trait[] }`                                              |
| `transfers` | Atomic trait movement      | `{ trait, scope[] }`. Operator must hold the trait.                                                   |
| `slots`     | KV state (Shared/Own)      | `{ event (Shared/Own), operator, ops, key }`                                                          |
| `lifecycle` | Enclave lifecycle          | `{ event (Pause/Resume/Migrate/Terminate), operator, ops }`                                           |
| `customs`   | App-defined content events | `{ event, operator, ops }`                                                                            |

#### 5.2 Section Details

**`readers`** — Column-oriented read declarations. Each entry is `{ type, reads }`:

* `type`: A declared State, trait, or Context.
* `reads`: Array of event type names this column gets R on, or `"*"` for all events.

**`moves`** — Each entry authorizes one State transition for one operator.

**`grants`** — Each entry authorizes Grant or Revoke of specific traits, scoped to specific States.

* `operator`: Who can grant/revoke (array — Contexts, traits, or States).
* `scope`: Which States the target must be in (array).
* `trait`: Which traits can be granted/revoked (array).

**`transfers`** — Each entry authorizes atomic movement of a trait from one identity to another.

* `trait`: Which trait can be transferred.
* `scope`: Which States the target must be in (array).
* The operator is implicit: must hold the trait being transferred.

**`slots`** — KV state entries. Each entry requires a `key` field (lowercase, app-defined).

* `Shared`: Enclave-wide singleton per key. Last write wins.
* `Own`: Per-identity slot per key. Node enforces per-identity isolation.
* Protocol-reserved keys: `gate:*`, `lifecycle`. Apps cannot write to reserved keys.

**`lifecycle`** — Protocol-defined enclave lifecycle events. State stored in `Shared("lifecycle")`.

**`customs`** — App-defined content events (lowercase names). Standard `{ event, operator, ops }` entries.

#### 5.2.1 Naming Convention

* Protocol events: PascalCase (Move, Grant, Shared, Pause, etc.)
* App events: lowercase (message, request, sent, etc.)
* States: UPPER\_CASE (MEMBER, PENDING, BLOCKED, etc.)
* traits: lower\_case (admin, muted, etc.)
* Contexts: PascalCase (Self, Sender, Public)
* KV keys: lowercase (topic, profile, etc.)

#### 5.2.2 Common Entry Properties

Any entry in any section may include:

* `alias`: Optional. Names the entry for referencing (Gate keys, UI, logs, API).
* `gate`: Optional. `{ operator[] }` — declares who can toggle the gate. Requires `alias`. Gate state stored in `Shared("gate:<alias>")`. When gate is closed, the event is rejected before RBAC runs.
* `preserve`: Optional (`moves` only). If `true`, trait flags are kept after the Move. Default `false` (clear all traits).

***

### 6. Validation Rules

1. **In and Out** — Every State in `states` must appear as `to` in at least one `moves` entry or be assigned in at least one `init` entry (in). Any State with no ops must also appear as `from` in at least one `moves` entry (out).
2. **No Stuck Traits** — Every trait in `traits` must have at least one assign path (Grant entry or Transfer entry) and at least one remove path (Revoke entry or Transfer entry). Traits only assigned in `init` are exempt from the assign path requirement.
3. **Valid Operators** — Every `operator` must be a declared State, declared trait, or a Context (Self, Sender, Public).
4. **Read/Write Completeness** — Every event must have at least one operator with C ops and at least one operator with R ops.
5. **Reserved Keys** — App-defined `slots` keys must not use reserved prefixes (`gate:`, `lifecycle`).
6. **Gate Requires Alias** — If an entry has `gate`, it must have `alias`.
7. **Valid Ranks** — Every trait must declare a rank via `name(N)` syntax. All rank values must be non-negative integers.
8. **Complete States** — Every State name referenced in the manifest (`moves` from/to, `grants` scope, `transfers` scope, `init` state) must be either declared in `states` or be OUTSIDER.

***

### 7. Processing Pipeline

The full event processing pipeline, from submission to commitment:

```
1. Signature verification (is the event signed by the claimed identity?)
2. Duplicate check (has this event already been committed?)
3. Lifecycle check (is the enclave active, not paused/terminated?)
4. Gate check (is this event type/transition currently enabled?)
5. RBAC authorization (Section 4 algorithm)
6. Rank check (for AC events targeting another identity — see Rank Rule below)
7. Content validation (event-type-specific format checks)
8. State mutation (apply bitmask changes for AC events)
9. SMT update (write new bitmask, compute new root)
10. CT append (add event to the certificate transparency log)
11. Commit (finalize sequence number, return receipt)
```

**Rank Rule.** For any AC event (Move, Grant, Revoke) targeting another identity: if the operator holds any trait, and the target holds any trait, the operator's best rank (lowest rank number among held traits) must be strictly less than the target's best rank. If either party holds no traits, or the operator is Self-targeting, the rank check is skipped. Violation → reject (RANK\_INSUFFICIENT).

***

### 8. Event Processing

When reading a target's bitmask from SMT, if no leaf exists, treat the bitmask as 0x00 (OUTSIDER, no traits).

#### 8.1 Move

Changes an identity's State. Clears all traits. The core lifecycle operation.

**Event content**:

```json
{ "target": "<target_pub>", "from": "PENDING", "to": "MEMBER", "preserve": true }
```

The `preserve` field is a manifest entry selector, not a behavioral directive. The node matches the content's `from`, `to`, and `preserve` against the `moves` entries to find the authorizing entry. Two entries with the same `from→to` but different `preserve` values are distinct Moves.

**Processing**:

```
1. Resolve from/to State names to enum values.
2. Match against moves entries: find the entry where from, to, and preserve
   all match. If no match → reject (UNAUTHORIZED).
3. Read target's current bitmask from SMT.
4. Verify: current State enum == from value.
   If mismatch → reject (STATE_MISMATCH).
5. Compute new bitmask:
   a. Set State enum (bits 0-7) to the "to" value.
   b. If the matched moves entry has preserve: true → keep all trait flags.
      Otherwise (default): clear all trait flags.
6. If entire bitmask == 0: delete SMT leaf.
   Else: write new bitmask to SMT.
```

**Authorization**: Move events are authorized via the `moves` section of the manifest. Each entry specifies `from`, `to`, `operator`, `ops`, and optionally `preserve`. The content's `from`, `to`, and `preserve` fields together select the matching entry.

**Move matching**: State is an enum. The check is exact: `current_state == from`. trait bits are ignored. No CAS on the full bitmask — only the State enum is compared.

**Application payload**: Move content may carry additional application-defined fields alongside the required `target`, `from`, and `to` fields. The node does not interpret these fields — they are opaque payload for the application layer. Example: DM enclaves carry epoch key-establishment data in Move events (see [app/dm.md](app/dm.md)).

#### 8.2 Grant

Adds a trait flag to an identity's bitmask.

**Event content**:

```json
{ "target": "<target_pub>", "trait": "admin" }
```

If the trait has P (Push) ops in the schema, the event includes an endpoint:

```json
{ "target": "<target_pub>", "trait": "dataview", "endpoint": "https://..." }
```

**Processing**:

```
1. Resolve trait name to bit position (from manifest traits array).
2. Read target's current bitmask from SMT.
3. Verify: target's current State is in the allowed scope.
   If not → reject (INVALID_STATE_FOR_GRANT).
4. Rank check (see §7 Rank Rule).
5. Set the trait bit: new_bitmask = current | (1 << trait_bit).
6. If trait has P ops in schema AND endpoint is provided: register push endpoint (operational state, not in SMT).
7. Write new bitmask to SMT (create leaf if it doesn't exist).
```

**Authorization**: Grant events are authorized via Grant schema entries. Each entry specifies `operator` (who can grant), `scope` (what States the target must be in), and `trait` (what traits can be granted).

**No separate Grant\_Push event type.** The node detects P ops from the schema and handles endpoint registration as part of regular Grant.

#### 8.3 Revoke

Removes a trait flag from an identity's bitmask.

**Event content**:

```json
{ "target": "<target_pub>", "trait": "admin" }
```

**Processing**:

```
1. Resolve trait name to bit position.
2. Read target's current bitmask from SMT.
3. Rank check (see §7 Rank Rule).
4. Clear the trait bit: new_bitmask = current & ~(1 << trait_bit).
5. Write new bitmask to SMT.
```

Revoking a trait the target doesn't have is a no-op (bit was already 0).

Self is allowed as operator for Revoke (voluntarily drop own trait).

#### 8.4 Transfer

Atomically moves a trait from one identity to another. The operator must hold the trait being transferred.

**Event content**:

```json
{ "target": "<target_pub>", "trait": "owner" }
```

**Processing**:

```
1. Verify operator holds the trait being transferred.
2. Verify target is not the operator (no self-transfer).
   If same → reject (INVALID_TRANSFER_TARGET).
3. Read target's current bitmask from SMT.
4. Verify target does not already hold the trait.
   If already held → reject (TRAIT_ALREADY_HELD).
5. Verify: target's current State is in the allowed scope.
   If not → reject (INVALID_STATE_FOR_TRANSFER).
6. Clear trait bit on operator's bitmask.
7. Set trait bit on target's bitmask.
8. Write both bitmasks to SMT.
```

**Authorization**: Transfer events are authorized via the `transfers` section. Each entry specifies `trait` (which trait can be transferred) and `scope` (which States the target must be in).

#### 8.5 Gate

Pre-RBAC check that enables/disables specific events at the enclave level. Gates are open by default.

**Event content**:

```json
{ "gate": "applications", "open": false }
```

**Processing**:

```
1. Verify submitter is an allowed operator for this gate (from manifest).
2. Update gate state in KV Shared: Shared("gate:<id>") = open value.
```

Gate state is checked BEFORE the RBAC authorization algorithm. If a gated event type/transition is closed, the event is rejected before RBAC runs.

#### 8.6 AC\_Bundle

Atomic multi-event bundle. All events succeed or none apply.

**Event content**:

```json
{
  "events": [
    { "event": "Move", "target": "<pub>", "from": "PENDING", "to": "MEMBER" },
    { "event": "Grant", "target": "<pub>", "trait": "admin" },
    { "event": "Grant", "target": "<pub>", "trait": "moderator" }
  ]
}
```

**Processing**:

```
1. For each event in order:
   a. Validate against simulated intermediate state.
   b. Apply to simulated state.
   If any event fails → reject entire bundle.
2. If all pass: apply all changes atomically to SMT.
```

#### 8.7 Lifecycle Events

Lifecycle events control enclave-level state. They store their state in KV Shared (SMT namespace 0x02) with the reserved `lifecycle` key.

##### Pause

Stops the enclave from accepting new events (except Resume).

**Event content:**

```json
{ "event": "Pause" }
```

**Processing:**

```
1. Verify current lifecycle state is "active".
   If not → reject (INVALID_LIFECYCLE_STATE).
2. Update KV Shared: Shared("lifecycle") = "paused".
```

##### Resume

Lifts a pause, restoring normal operation.

**Event content:**

```json
{ "event": "Resume" }
```

**Processing:**

```
1. Verify current lifecycle state is "paused".
   If not → reject (INVALID_LIFECYCLE_STATE).
2. Update KV Shared: Shared("lifecycle") = "active".
```

##### Migrate

Initiates migration of the enclave to a new node.

**Event content:**

```json
{ "event": "Migrate", "target_node": "<node_pub>" }
```

**Processing:**

```
1. Verify current lifecycle state is "active".
   If not → reject (INVALID_LIFECYCLE_STATE).
2. Update KV Shared: Shared("lifecycle") = "migrating".
```

##### Terminate

Permanently shuts down the enclave. Irreversible.

**Event content:**

```json
{ "event": "Terminate" }
```

**Processing:**

```
1. Verify current lifecycle state is not "terminated".
   If terminated → reject (INVALID_LIFECYCLE_STATE).
2. Update KV Shared: Shared("lifecycle") = "terminated".
```

##### Lifecycle Check

Lifecycle state is checked at step 3 of the processing pipeline (Section 7), before Gate and RBAC checks:

```
Lifecycle check → Gate check → RBAC authorization
```

| State      | Accepts events?                       |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- |
| active     | All events                            |
| paused     | Only Resume (from owner)              |
| migrating  | Node-managed (implementation-defined) |
| terminated | No events                             |

#### 8.8 KV Events (Shared / Own)

Mutable key-value state stored in SMT namespace 0x02. KV events are NOT content events — they form their own category. Authorization uses the same schema matrix as all other events.

##### 8.8.1 Problem

Content events are append-only (the CT is a log). To represent "current topic" or "my display name", apps would need to scan the CT for the latest event. KV events provide first-class mutable state with SMT inclusion proofs for the current value.

##### 8.8.2 Shared

Enclave-wide singleton. One slot per key per enclave. Last write wins.

**Event content:**

```json
{ "key": "topic", "value": "General Discussion" }
```

**SMT key:** `H(0x02 || key_name)`
**SMT value:** `H(content)`

Any actor with C on Shared (for matching key) can overwrite. History preserved in CT.

##### 8.8.3 Own

Per-identity slot. One slot per key per identity. Each identity can only write to their own slot.

**Event content:**

```json
{ "key": "profile", "value": { "display_name": "Alice", "status": "Available" } }
```

**SMT key:** `H(0x02 || key_name || commit.from)`
**SMT value:** `H(content)`

Per-identity isolation enforced by the node — the `from` in the SMT key is always `commit.from`. No identity field in content needed.

##### 8.8.4 Schema Representation

KV events use the standard schema format with an additional `key` field:

```json
{ "event": "Shared", "operator": "admin", "ops": ["C"], "key": "topic" }
{ "event": "Shared", "operator": "MEMBER", "ops": ["R"], "key": "topic" }
{ "event": "Own", "operator": "MEMBER", "ops": ["C"], "key": "profile" }
{ "event": "Own", "operator": "Sender", "ops": ["U"], "key": "profile" }
```

The `key` field constrains which KV slot the operator can access.

**Operations for KV:**

| Op | Meaning                           |
| -- | --------------------------------- |
| C  | Create or overwrite the value     |
| R  | Read the current value            |
| U  | Update an existing value          |
| D  | Clear the value (remove SMT leaf) |
| P  | Push delivery on value change     |
| N  | Notify on value change            |

##### 8.8.5 Delete (D)

* **Shared:** Remove SMT leaf at `H(0x02 || key)`. Value cleared.
* **Own:** Remove SMT leaf at `H(0x02 || key || commit.from)`. Only your own slot.

##### 8.8.6 Protocol-Reserved KV Keys

Gate state (Section 8.5) is stored as KV Shared with the `gate:` key prefix:

```
Shared("gate:applications") = true/false
```

Gate and lifecycle KV slots are protocol-managed — written by Gate and lifecycle events, not arbitrary Shared writes. Reserved keys: `gate:*` prefix and `lifecycle`.

##### 8.8.7 Bounding

No dynamic keys. Only keys declared in schema entries can be written:

* **Shared:** bounded by manifest (only declared keys)
* **Own:** bounded by RBAC (one slot per key per identity, identities controlled by Move)

##### 8.8.8 KV vs Content Events

| Aspect   | Content Event        | KV Event                              |
| -------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| History  | Full history matters | Only current value matters            |
| SMT      | No SMT entry         | SMT leaf tracks current hash          |
| Proofs   | CT inclusion only    | SMT inclusion proof for current state |
| Use case | Messages, reactions  | Topic, settings, profiles, status     |

Both live in the same CT. KV events maintain a "current state" view in SMT 0x02.

##### 8.8.9 Read API

* Shared: `GET /enclave/{id}/kv/{key}`
* Own: `GET /enclave/{id}/kv/{key}/{identity}`

The SMT provides inclusion proofs for the current value hash.

| 0x02      | KV State    | `H(key)` or `H(key \|\| identity)` | `H(content)`                 |

Gate state lives in 0x02 with the `gate:` key prefix. Lifecycle state lives in 0x02 with the `lifecycle` key.

### 11. Appendix: Removed Events

Four event types from the v1 spec are removed. Each is replaced by a more general mechanism already in the registry.

| Removed      | Replacement                    | Rationale                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Move\_Self   | Move with `operator: "Self"`   | Self is a Context, not an event type. The node enforces `event.from == content.target` when the moves entry has `operator: "Self"`. No expressiveness lost.                                                                                                     |
| Revoke\_Self | Revoke with `operator: "Self"` | Same pattern. Self-targeting is an operator constraint, not a separate event type.                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Grant\_Push  | Grant                          | The node detects P (Push) ops from the schema for the granted trait. If the trait has P ops and the Grant content includes an `endpoint` field, the node registers the push endpoint. No separate event type needed.                                            |
| Force\_Move  | (removed, no replacement)      | Owner can define all necessary transitions in `moves`. State is an 8-bit enum (not a combinatorial bitmask), so Owner can always move anyone to any State by having the right moves entries. Force\_Move added no capability that moves entries cannot express. |


## Sparse Merkle Tree (SMT)

This document specifies the implementation details for the Enclave State SMT referenced in the main protocol spec.

***

### Tree Structure

| Property         | Value               |
| ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Total depth      | 168 bits (21 bytes) |
| Namespace prefix | 8 bits (1 byte)     |
| Entry path       | 160 bits (20 bytes) |
| Hash function    | SHA256              |
| Empty value      | `sha256("")`        |

The 160-bit entry path matches Ethereum address length, providing the same collision safety properties.

***

### Namespaces

| Namespace    | Hex         | Purpose                |
| ------------ | ----------- | ---------------------- |
| RBAC         | `0x00`      | Role assignments       |
| Event Status | `0x01`      | Update/Delete tracking |
| Reserved     | `0x02–0xFF` | Future use             |

***

### Key Construction

**RBAC key:**

```
path = 0x00 || sha256(id_pub)[0:160 bits]
```

Where `id_pub` is the raw 32-byte secp256k1 x-only public key. Always compute `sha256(id_pub)` even though `id_pub` is already 32 bytes; this ensures uniform distribution across the tree.

**Event Status key:**

```
path = 0x01 || sha256(event_id)[0:160 bits]
```

**Notation:** `sha256(x)[0:160 bits]` means the first 160 bits (20 bytes) of the SHA256 hash. The full key is 21 bytes: 1-byte namespace prefix + 20-byte truncated hash.

**API Key Construction:**

When calling the State Proof API, clients provide the 32-byte raw key (`id_pub` or `event_id`). The node internally constructs the 21-byte SMT key by:

1. Selecting namespace based on `namespace` parameter
2. Computing `sha256(key)[0:160 bits]`
3. Concatenating: `namespace_byte || truncated_hash`

The response `k` field contains the full 21-byte SMT key for verification.

***

### Leaf Values

**RBAC:**

```
value = <bitmask: bits 0-7 State enum, bits 8+ trait flags>
```

**CBOR Encoding:**

Role bitmasks are encoded as **32-byte big-endian byte strings** for CBOR hashing:

* Pad with leading zeros to 32 bytes
* Example: bitmask `0x100000002` → `0x0000...00100000002` (32 bytes)

**Padding Scope:**

The 32-byte padding is applied during CBOR encoding for SMT leaf hash computation (`leaf_hash = H(0x20, key, value)`). In JSON proofs (see proof.md), the same 32-byte value is hex-encoded as 64 characters. The padding is persistent — it represents the actual leaf value stored in SMT.

**Zero Bitmask:**

When all roles are revoked (bitmask = 0), the leaf is **removed** from the SMT. An identity with no roles is semantically equivalent to "not in tree". This follows the same pattern as Event Status where "(not in tree) = Active".

**Historical Membership (Intentional Design):** A non-membership proof for an identity means "currently has no roles" — it CANNOT and DOES NOT distinguish between "never had roles" and "had roles, all revoked." This is intentional: the SMT tracks current state only, not history. To prove historical membership, use a CT inclusion proof for the Grant event that assigned the role.

**Event Status:**

| Value                          | Meaning |
| ------------------------------ | ------- |
| (not in tree)                  | Active  |
| `0x00` (1 byte)                | Deleted |
| `<update_event_id>` (32 bytes) | Updated |

**Encoding:** Deleted status is a single zero byte (`0x00`). Updated status is the 32-byte `update_event_id`. This unambiguously distinguishes the two cases.

**Wire Format Disambiguation:** In CBOR encoding, the 1-byte deleted marker (`0x00`) and the 32-byte update\_event\_id are distinguishable by their length prefix:

* Deleted: CBOR encodes as `0x40 0x00` (1-byte bytestring) or `0x00` (integer zero)
* Updated: CBOR encodes as `0x58 0x20 <32 bytes>` (32-byte bytestring)

This prevents any collision between deleted status and an update\_event\_id that happens to start with zeros.

**Proof Interpretation:**

| Proof Type   | SMT Proof Result      | Interpretation                |
| ------------ | --------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Event Status | Non-membership (null) | Active OR never existed       |
| Event Status | Membership (0x00)     | Deleted                       |
| Event Status | Membership (32 bytes) | Updated to this event         |
| RBAC         | Non-membership (null) | No roles (or never had roles) |
| RBAC         | Membership (32 bytes) | Has these roles (bitmask)     |

To distinguish "Active" from "never existed" for events, combine with CT inclusion proof. To prove historical role membership, use CT inclusion proof for the Grant event.

**Distinguishing Event Outcomes:**

For **Event Status proofs**, if you receive a non-membership proof (null):

* The event is currently Active OR it never existed
* To distinguish: obtain a CT inclusion proof for the event
  * If CT inclusion succeeds: event was created → currently Active
  * If CT inclusion fails: event never existed

For **RBAC proofs**, a non-membership proof means:

* Identity currently has no roles
* To prove historical role assignment, obtain a CT inclusion proof for the Grant event

### Hash Construction

#### Leaf Hash

```
leaf_hash = H(0x20, key, value)
```

#### Internal Node Hash

```
node_hash = H(0x21, left_child, right_child)
```

#### Empty Node

```
empty_hash = sha256("")
         = 0xe3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
```

### State-Changing Events

Only certain events modify the SMT.

**RBAC Namespace (0x00):**

| Event      | SMT Update                                                            |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Manifest   | Initialize leaves from `init` entries (State + trait bits)            |
| Move       | Set State enum (bits 0-7); clear trait flags unless `preserve: true`  |
| Grant      | Set trait bit for target identity; optionally registers push endpoint |
| Revoke     | Clear trait bit for target identity                                   |
| Transfer   | Clear trait bit from operator, set trait bit on target (atomic)       |
| Gate       | Write gate state to KV namespace (`Shared("gate:<alias>")`)           |
| AC\_Bundle | Batch updates (atomic)                                                |

**KV State Namespace (0x02):**

| Event  | SMT Update                                                             |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Shared | `SMT[H(0x02 \|\| key)] = H(content)` — enclave-wide singleton          |
| Own    | `SMT[H(0x02 \|\| key \|\| identity)] = H(content)` — per-identity slot |

**Event Status Namespace (0x01):**

| Event  | SMT Update                               |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| Update | `SMT[target_event_id] = update_event_id` |
| Delete | `SMT[target_event_id] = 0`               |

**Update Chaining:**

Multiple Updates to the same event are allowed. Each Update overwrites the previous value:

* First Update: `SMT[event_A] = update_event_B`
* Second Update: `SMT[event_A] = update_event_C`
* Final state: `SMT[event_A] = update_event_C`

The SMT always stores the latest `update_event_id`. To trace the full Update history, use CT inclusion proofs to find all Update events referencing the original `target_event_id`.

**Events that do NOT modify SMT:**

* Content events (e.g., `Chat_Message`)
* Lifecycle events: Pause, Resume, Terminate, Migrate

Lifecycle state is derived from the event log, not stored in SMT.

***

### State Binding

The SMT root (`state_hash`) is bound to the event log via the Certificate Transparency (CT) structure, not via the event hash itself.

**CT Leaf Hash:**

```
leaf_hash = H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)
```

Where:

* `events_root` — Merkle root of event IDs in this bundle (see spec.md for bundle structure)
* `state_hash` — SMT root AFTER the last event in this bundle is applied

**Note:** With bundling, state\_hash is recorded per bundle, not per event. For `bundle.size = 1`, events\_root equals the single event\_id.

***

### Proof Binding (CT + SMT)

The CT root proves both log integrity AND state integrity. To verify a state claim, the client needs:

1. **CT inclusion proof** — proves the event exists at position N in the log
2. **SMT proof** — proves the state against `state_hash` at position N

**Verification Flow:**

1. Obtain the event, bundle membership proof, and CT inclusion proof from the node
2. Verify bundle membership: confirm event\_id is in the bundle's events\_root
3. Verify CT inclusion proof: recompute path from `leaf_hash = H(0x00, events_root, state_hash)` to CT root
4. Verify SMT proof against the `state_hash` from step 3

**Unified Checkpoint:**

The CT root alone is sufficient to prove both:

* Event log integrity (which events exist, in what order)
* State integrity (what the SMT root was after each event)

This simplifies migration and audit: a single `ct_root` value commits to the entire enclave history and state.

***

### Storage

* Store only non-empty nodes
* Empty subtrees computed on-demand
* Historical states MAY be pruned


## DM Enclave — RBAC v2

**Status**: Design
**Based on**: [rbac-v2.md](/spec/rbac-v2)

***

### Overview

A DM enclave is a personal mailbox for direct messaging. Each user has one DM enclave for ALL conversations. You read from your own enclave; others write to it.

* Alice's enclave holds messages from Bob, Charlie, and anyone else she's friends with.
* Each contact is a separate identity in the SMT (Bob=FRIEND, Charlie=FRIEND, etc.).
* Friends can send messages but cannot read — no FRIEND:R. Only OWNER reads.
* Sender:UD isolates per-sender: Bob can edit/delete Bob's messages, not Charlie's.

Conversation between Alice and Bob spans two enclaves: Bob writes to Alice's enclave, Alice writes to Bob's enclave. Each owner reads from their own.

  ],

  "init": [
    { "identity": "<owner_pub>", "state": "OWNER", "traits": [] }
  ]
}
```

#### Design Rationale

**States**: `["OWNER", "FRIEND", "BLOCKED"]`

* OUTSIDER (0) = no relationship
* OWNER (1) = the enclave owner, bootstrapped via init
* FRIEND (2) = accepted contact, can send messages
* BLOCKED (3) = blocked by owner

**No PENDING state** — the owner adds contacts directly. Move(OUTSIDER→FRIEND) is a unilateral owner decision. No Self-targeting Moves needed.

**No traits** — DM is private messaging, no service accounts or push delivery needed.

**Operators**:

* `OWNER` (State) — reads everything via readers. Manages all contacts (Moves). Deletes invites. Creates rotate events. Admin: Gate, Terminate.
* `FRIEND` (State) — can create messages.
* `Sender` (Context) — message edit/delete by original sender.
* `OUTSIDER` (State) — can create invite events (gated).

**Owner-initiated model** — Each owner controls who enters their own enclave. The owner adds a contact by Move(OUTSIDER→FRIEND), then notifies the other party via an `invite` event in their enclave. The other party adds back when ready. No cross-enclave state coupling.

**Gate on invites** — The `invites` gate lets the owner close their inbox to new invite events. When closed, invite creation is rejected before RBAC runs.

**No moves to OWNER** — OWNER is bootstrapped via init, never changes state.

### State Transitions

| Transition         | Operator | Meaning               |
| ------------------ | -------- | --------------------- |
| OUTSIDER → FRIEND  | OWNER    | Add contact           |
| OUTSIDER → BLOCKED | OWNER    | Preemptive block      |
| FRIEND → OUTSIDER  | OWNER    | Remove contact        |
| FRIEND → BLOCKED   | OWNER    | Block contact         |
| BLOCKED → FRIEND   | OWNER    | Unblock to friend     |
| BLOCKED → OUTSIDER | OWNER    | Remove from blocklist |

All transitions are OWNER-only. No Self-targeting Moves, no external actors changing state.

### Event-Operator Matrix

| ----------------------- | ----- | -------- | ------ | ------- | ------ |
| invite                  | RD    | C        |        |         |        |

| Terminate               | CR    |          |        |         |        |

Columns: States (OWNER, OUTSIDER, FRIEND, BLOCKED) → Contexts (Sender).

### Content Events

#### invite

Contact initiation from an OUTSIDER. Created via OUTSIDER:C. Only identities in OUTSIDER state can create invites — FRIEND, OWNER, and BLOCKED cannot. The owner reads and deletes invites.

Gated — the owner can close the `invites` gate to stop accepting new invites.

Encrypted content. Both tags and content are encrypted via identity ECDH: `ECDH(sender_priv, recipient_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:invite')`.

* **tags**: `enclave_id` (sender's DM enclave ID), `epoch` (sender's epoch 0, encrypted for recipient)
* **content**: `greeting` (encrypted introduction text from the sender)

#### message

Incoming DM message. Created by a FRIEND. The sender can edit (Sender:U) or retract (Sender:D) their own messages. The owner can delete messages (OWNER:D) for local cleanup — the sender cannot read the owner's enclave, so the deletion is invisible to them.

If the owner deletes a message and the sender later attempts Sender:U or Sender:D, the node rejects with an `EVENT_DELETED` error (the event's `0x01 EventStatus` is terminal). The sender's client can infer the message was deleted on the other side. The sender's `sent` copy in their own enclave is unaffected.

#### sent

Owner's copy of outgoing messages, for cross-device sync. Owner-only — no one else can read or write. No D — the CT is append-only and sent records are permanent. When the sender retracts a message (Sender:D in the recipient's enclave), the client updates the corresponding `sent` event (OWNER:U) in the owner's enclave.

### Encryption & Workflow

DM encryption uses the **Ratchet\_DM** scheme: owner-generated random per-contact epoch secrets with symmetric ratchet chains. Each message gets a unique key.

#### Key Derivation

**Epoch distribution** — two modes, one recovery pattern:

| Mode                  | Used in             | ECDH peer             |
| --------------------- | ------------------- | --------------------- |
| Self-encrypted        | Move/rotate payload | `owner_pub` (own key) |
| Participant-encrypted | invite/message tag  | `recipient_pub`       |

```
epoch_secret     = random(32)
dist_key         = deriveKey(ECDH(my_priv, peer_pub), 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')
encrypted_secret = XChaCha20-Poly1305(dist_key, nonce, epoch_secret)
```

Recovery is uniform: `ECDH(my_priv, ecdh_pub)` — the `ecdh_pub` field tells you whose key was used.

**Ratchet chain** — per-contact:

```
ratchet_seed    = deriveKey(epoch_secret, 'enc:dm:ratchet:init')
chain_key[0]    = ratchet_seed
chain_key[i+1]  = deriveKey(chain_key[i], 'enc:dm:ratchet:advance')
message_key     = deriveKey(chain_key[i], 'enc:dm:ratchet:message')
ciphertext      = XChaCha20-Poly1305(message_key, nonce, plaintext)
```

For `sender_seq = i`: derive `chain_key[i]` by advancing `i` times from `ratchet_seed`, then derive `message_key` from `chain_key[i]`. Each epoch is per-contact, so sender identity is implicit — no `sender_pub` in domain separation.

         ▼ Bob: epoch₀ᵇᵃ + epoch₀ᵃᵇ             ▼ Alice: epoch₀ᵇᵃ + epoch₀ᵃᵇ
```

Epoch subscripts: `epoch₀ᵇᵃ` = epoch 0 in Bob's enclave for Alice. Each contact gets an independent epoch — when Bob later adds Charlie, Charlie gets `epoch₀ᵇᶜ`, independent from Alice's `epoch₀ᵇᵃ`.

**Bob initiates (steps 1–3):**

**Step 1 — Generate epoch.** Bob generates `epoch₀ᵇᵃ = random(32)` — an epoch secret for Alice in Bob's enclave. This happens for every new contact.

**Step 2 — Move(OUTSIDER→FRIEND).** Every `Move(OUTSIDER, FRIEND)` carries an `epoch` field — each contact gets their own epoch 0. Self-encrypted for device sync.

```json
{
  "target": "<alice_pub>",
  "from": "OUTSIDER",
  "to": "FRIEND",
  "epoch": {
    "n": 0,
    "encrypted_secret": "<base64(nonce || AEAD ciphertext)>",
    "ecdh_pub": "<bob_ecdh_pub>"
  }
}
```

Self-encrypted: `ECDH(owner_priv, owner_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')`. The owner recovers on sync via `ECDH(my_priv, epoch.ecdh_pub)` where `ecdh_pub` = owner's own pub.

`Move(BLOCKED, FRIEND)` is a pure state change — no new epoch. The unblocked contact uses whatever epoch they last received. The owner delivers the current epoch lazily via the `epoch` tag on the next outgoing message.

**Per-contact monotonicity (client-validated):** `epoch.n` must be 0 for the first epoch for that contact, or strictly greater than the highest `epoch.n` for the same target identity.

**Step 3 — invite.** Encrypted greeting. Tags carry the sender's enclave ID and epoch 0 secret. Content and tags are encrypted for the recipient via `ECDH(sender_priv, recipient_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:invite')`.

```
tags: [
  ["enclave_id", "<bob_dm_enclave>"],
  ["epoch", "0", "<base64(encrypted_secret)>", "<bob_ecdh_pub>"]
]
content: "<base64(nonce || encrypted_greeting)>"
```

The `epoch` tag delivers the sender's epoch 0 for the sender's enclave, encrypted for the recipient: `ECDH(sender_priv, recipient_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')`. Format: `["epoch", "<n>", "<encrypted_secret>", "<ecdh_pub>"]`. The recipient decrypts via `ECDH(my_priv, ecdh_pub)`.

**Alice accepts (steps 4–8):**

**Step 4 — Read invite.** Alice reads the invite in her enclave (OWNER:R) and decrypts `epoch₀ᵇᵃ` from the `epoch` tag via `ECDH(alice_priv, bob_ecdh_pub)`.

**Step 5 — Generate epoch.** Alice generates `epoch₀ᵃᵇ = random(32)` — an epoch secret for Bob in Alice's enclave.

**Step 6 — Move(OUTSIDER→FRIEND).** Same format as step 2. Alice's Move carries `epoch₀ᵃᵇ` self-encrypted for her device sync.

**Step 7 — message.** Encrypted with the ratcheted message key for the current epoch. Tags carry an `epoch` tag with Alice's epoch secret for Bob.

```
tags: [
  ["epoch", "0", "<base64(encrypted_secret)>", "<alice_ecdh_pub>"]
]
content: '{"epoch":0,"sender_seq":0,"ciphertext":"<base64(nonce || encrypted_data)>"}'
```

Two epoch references in a message:

* `content.epoch` — the per-contact epoch number for the sender in the recipient's enclave (Bob's), used to encrypt this message
* `epoch` tag — the per-contact epoch of the sender's enclave (Alice's epoch for Bob), delivered to Bob for writing back

The `epoch` tag is present when the sender has a new epoch to deliver (initial contact, rotation, unblock). Encrypted for the recipient: `ECDH(sender_priv, recipient_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')`.

Decryption: parse content JSON, recover epoch secret from CT (via Move/rotate events), derive ratchet chain to `sender_seq`, derive message key, decrypt `ciphertext`. Stateless — O(sender\_seq) KDF operations per message, mitigated by epoch rotation.

**Step 8 — Read message.** Bob reads the message in his enclave (OWNER:R) and decrypts `epoch₀ᵃᵇ` from the `epoch` tag via `ECDH(bob_priv, alice_ecdh_pub)`.

**Design notes:**

* **Cross-enclave delivery.** Each party writes epoch secrets to the OTHER's enclave (in invite/message tags), where the other reads as OWNER. No FRIEND:R needed — only OWNER reads. Steps 1–3 are Bob's action; steps 4–8 are Alice's. Each user acts in their own enclave first (sovereign), then writes to the other's enclave (notification). If a cross-enclave write fails, retry — the local state is already committed.
* **Two storage concerns per epoch secret.** Owner's CT — self-encrypted in the Move payload, for device sync. Participant's CT — participant-encrypted in an invite or message tag, delivered cross-enclave.
* **One-directional messaging.** After step 4, Alice has Bob's epoch 0 and is FRIEND in Bob's enclave — she can message Bob before accepting (step 6). Alice can preview the relationship without committing. Full bidirectional messaging begins after both sides complete.

#### Epoch Rotation

Mid-conversation per-contact epoch rotation without state change. Owner-only. Self-encrypted for device sync. The `target` field identifies which contact's epoch is rotated.

```json
{
  "target": "<contact_pub>",
  "epoch": {
    "n": 2,
    "encrypted_secret": "<base64(nonce || AEAD ciphertext)>",
    "ecdh_pub": "<owner_ecdh_pub>"
  }
}
```

Self-encrypted: same pattern as Move. `ECDH(owner_priv, owner_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')`.

**Per-contact monotonicity (client-validated):** `epoch.n` must be strictly greater than the highest epoch number for the same `target` identity. Prevents reuse or reordering.

**Delivery:** The owner piggybacks the new epoch in the `epoch` tag of the next message to the target contact. Rotation is per-contact, so delivery is O(1) — just the one contact whose epoch was rotated. Until the owner sends a message, the contact continues using the previous epoch — delivery is deferred, not eager.

**When to rotate** (client-side heuristics, not protocol-enforced):

* After N messages from a specific contact in an epoch (bounds O(sender\_seq) decryption cost)
* After time elapsed
* After encryption subkey rotation
* Manual user action

#### sent

Self-encrypted with per-counterparty keys derived from the owner's identity key.

```
tags: [["to", "<recipient_pub_hex>"]]
content: "<base64(nonce || encrypted_data)>"
```

```
sent_root  = deriveKey(ECDH(identity_priv, identity_pub), 'enc:dm:sent:root')
sent_key   = deriveKey(sent_root, 'enc:dm:sent:' + to_pub)
ciphertext = XChaCha20-Poly1305(sent_key, nonce, plaintext)
```

No ratchet — identity key is the trust boundary. Per-counterparty domain separation via `to` tag. Stateless — any device with `identity_priv` can decrypt.

#### Epoch Recovery

On sync (new device or reconnect), the client recovers epoch secrets for two classes of enclaves:

**Own enclave's epochs** (e.g., Alice recovering Alice's enclave secrets):

1. Replay own CT → find Move events with `epoch` field (each carries a per-contact epoch) + `rotate` events (each has a `target`)
2. Self-encrypted → `ECDH(my_priv, epoch.ecdh_pub)` where `ecdh_pub` = own pub
3. `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')` → decrypt epoch secret
4. Build per-contact epoch map: `{contact_pub → {n → epoch_secret}}`; highest `epoch.n` per contact = current epoch for that contact

**Other enclaves' epochs** (e.g., Alice recovering Bob's epoch secrets):

1. Replay own CT → scan received `invite` and `message` events for `epoch` tags
2. Participant-encrypted → `ECDH(my_priv, ecdh_pub)` where `ecdh_pub` = sender's pub (from `epoch` tag)
3. `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')` → decrypt epoch secret
4. Build per-remote-enclave epoch map: `{remote_enclave → {n → epoch_secret}}`; highest `epoch.n` per remote enclave = current epoch for that enclave

Both use the same `ECDH(my_priv, epoch.ecdh_pub)` → `deriveKey(..., 'enc:dm:epoch_dist')` pattern. The only difference is whose pub is in `ecdh_pub` (own pub for self-encrypted, sender's pub for participant-encrypted).

#### Security Properties

| Property                  | Status                                         |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Per-message key isolation | YES — unique key per message via KDF ratchet   |
| Per-contact key isolation | YES — contacts cannot derive each other's keys |
| Per-epoch forward secrecy | YES — independent random epoch secrets         |
| Post-compromise security  | NO — identity key recovers all epochs from CT  |
| Stateless decryption      | YES — log-compatible, no stored ratchet state  |
| Multi-device support      | YES — identity key sufficient for all epochs   |

**Forward secrecy:** YES at the epoch level — compromising one epoch secret does not reveal other epochs. Per-contact isolation means compromising one contact's epoch reveals nothing about other contacts' epochs, even within the same enclave. NO against identity key compromise — the identity key can recover all epoch secrets from the CT (self-encrypted in Move/rotate, participant-encrypted in epoch tags).

**Post-compromise security:** NO — because the CT is an append-only log, all epoch secrets (past and future) are recoverable from the CT with the identity key. There is no mechanism to "forget" old keys.

**Why these tradeoffs:** CT-based systems require stateless decryption — any device with the identity key must be able to read the full history. This is incompatible with PCS (which requires old keys to be irrecoverable) and with forward secrecy against identity compromise (which requires ephemeral keys not derivable from long-term keys). The tradeoff buys multi-device sync and log-compatible verification. DM and group chat share this constraint — any enclave type using a CT makes the same tradeoff.


## Group Chat Enclave — RBAC v2

**Status**: Design
**Based on**: [rbac-v2.md](/spec/rbac-v2)

***

### Overview

A group chat enclave is a shared space for multi-party messaging. Multiple members read and write to the same enclave.

* One owner (bootstrapped via init as MEMBER with owner+admin traits).
* Members can send messages, react, and set their own profile.
* Admins moderate: manage members, set topic, delete messages, post notices.
* Muted members can read but not send.
* BLOCKED state for bans — no read, no write.

Unlike DM (personal mailbox pattern), group chat is a shared enclave: all members see the same CT, and messages exist in one place.

#### Design Rationale

**States**: `["PENDING", "MEMBER", "BLOCKED"]`

* OUTSIDER (0) = not a member
* PENDING (1) = applied, awaiting admin approval
* MEMBER (2) = active member, can read and write
* BLOCKED (3) = banned by admin

**Traits**: `["owner(0)", "admin(1)", "muted(2)", "dataview(3)"]`

* owner (rank 0) = group owner, full control (lifecycle, transfer, top-level admin)
* admin (rank 1) = moderator (manage members, topic, delete messages, notice)
* muted (rank 2) = content deny (cannot create messages)
* dataview (rank 3) = push delivery for service accounts

**Rank Rule protection**: owner (0) can target admin (1), admin can target muted (2) and dataview (3). Admin cannot kick/demote other admins — only owner can. Owner cannot be kicked by anyone (rank 0, no one outranks). If either party holds no traits, rank check is skipped — admin can kick regular members.

**Readers**: `MEMBER reads "*"` — all members can read all events. PENDING and BLOCKED cannot read. OUTSIDER cannot read — dataview grants push delivery (P), not read access (R).

**Operators**:

* `MEMBER` (State) — message:C, reaction:C, Own(profile):C. Base write access.
* `admin` (trait) — message:D, notice:CD, Shared(topic):CU, rotate:C. Manage members via Move/Grant/Revoke.
* `owner` (trait) — Grant/Revoke admin, Transfer(owner), lifecycle events. Superset of admin (init bootstraps both).
* `muted` (trait) — message:\_C\_U. Deny override prevents message creation and editing while retaining read access.
* `dataview` (trait) — message:P, Shared(topic):P. Push delivery for service accounts.
* `Self` (Context) — Move(MEMBER, OUTSIDER):C (leave), Revoke(admin):C (step down). Self-targeting.
* `Sender` (Context) — message:UD, reaction:D, Own(profile):U. Per-sender edit/delete.

**Join paths**:

* **Application**: Move(OUTSIDER→PENDING) via Self:C, gated by `applications`. Self ensures the actor targets themselves; Move step 4 verifies the actor is OUTSIDER. Admin approves via Move(PENDING→MEMBER) or rejects via Move(PENDING→OUTSIDER).
* **Auto-join**: Move(OUTSIDER→MEMBER) via Self:C, gated by `auto_join`. Same Self + state verification. Owner controls the gate.
* **Direct invite**: Move(OUTSIDER→MEMBER) via admin:C. No gate — admin decides directly.
* **Pre-emptive ban**: Move(OUTSIDER→BLOCKED) via admin:C. Blocks an identity before they join or apply.

**No OWNER state** — unlike DM where OWNER is a permanent state, group chat uses MEMBER state with owner trait. The owner is a member who can Transfer(owner), step down, or leave. If the owner leaves without transferring, the group becomes **ownerless** — existing admins continue moderating (members, topic, messages, rotation) but no one can promote new admins, control lifecycle, or manage the auto\_join gate. This is an accepted degradation: a decentralized group with no single authority.

### State Transitions

| Transition         | Operator | Meaning                             |
| ------------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------- |
| OUTSIDER → PENDING | Self     | Apply to join (gated)               |
| OUTSIDER → MEMBER  | Self     | Auto-join (gated)                   |
| OUTSIDER → MEMBER  | admin    | Direct invite                       |
| OUTSIDER → BLOCKED | admin    | Pre-emptive ban                     |
| PENDING → MEMBER   | admin    | Approve application                 |
| PENDING → OUTSIDER | admin    | Reject application                  |
| MEMBER → OUTSIDER  | Self     | Leave group                         |
| MEMBER → OUTSIDER  | admin    | Kick member                         |
| MEMBER → BLOCKED   | admin    | Ban member                          |
| BLOCKED → OUTSIDER | admin    | Unban (can rejoin via normal paths) |

Move clears all traits by default. A kicked admin loses admin. An unbanned member must be re-invited and re-granted traits.

Columns: States (MEMBER, OUTSIDER, PENDING, BLOCKED) → traits (owner, admin, muted, dataview) → Contexts (Self, Sender).

### Content Events

#### message

Group message. Created by a MEMBER. Admins can delete any message (admin:D). Muted members are denied creation and editing (muted:\_C\_U). Sender:UD allows the sender to edit or retract their own messages.

Encrypted with the current epoch's per-sender ratchet chain.

#### reaction

Emoji reaction to a message. Created by a MEMBER. Sender:D allows the reactor to remove their own reaction. No admin:D — admins cannot remove others' reactions.

* **content**: `ref` (event hash of the target message), `emoji` (reaction emoji)

#### notice

Admin-created group-level notice. Created by admin (admin:C). Removed by admin (admin:D). Members read via readers wildcard.

Content is app-defined. Examples: a chat app puts `{ "ref": "<event_hash>" }` for a pinned message; an announcement channel puts `{ "text": "..." }` for a text notice.

#### rotate

Epoch rotation event. Created by admin (admin:C). Distributes a new epoch secret encrypted for current MEMBERs. Used when admin-created Moves can't carry the epoch:

* Initial epoch establishment (group creation — no Move involved)
* After voluntary leave (Self Move carries no epoch)
* Epoch delivery to auto-join members (Self Move carries no epoch)
* Standalone rotation (no membership change)

See Encryption & Epoch Lifecycle for content format.

### Encryption & Epoch Lifecycle

Group chat uses **lazy MLS**: shared epoch secrets with per-sender symmetric ratchet chains and stateless decryption. This is the same scheme as the existing implementation — RBAC v2 changes how membership is managed (Move instead of Grant/Revoke), not how encryption works.

**Key difference from DM (Ratchet\_DM):** DM uses per-contact epochs (one sender per epoch, no `sender_pub` in domain separation). Group uses shared epochs (multiple senders per epoch, `sender_pub` in ratchet seed). See [dm.md](dm.md) for the DM scheme.

#### Lazy MLS Summary

* **Shared epoch secret** — one 32-byte random secret per epoch, held by all current MEMBERs
* **Per-sender ratchet chain** — each sender gets an independent chain seeded with `epoch_secret + sender_pub`
* **Stateless decryption** — receiver re-derives the ratchet from epoch secret + sender\_seq each time; no persistent ratchet state
* **Epoch rotation** — new epoch on membership change; old epochs retained for history
* **Tree ratchet distribution** — epoch secrets distributed via encrypted path secrets addressed to ratchet tree nodes, O(log N) per rotation

#### Tree Ratchet Distribution

Members are leaves in a binary ratchet tree. Each internal node has a key pair known only to members in its subtree. When distributing a new epoch, the committer encrypts **path secrets to copath nodes** — O(log N) encryptions instead of O(N).

```
         root              ← epoch secret derived from root path secret
        /    \
      X        Y           ← internal nodes (key pairs known to subtree)
     / \      / \
    A   B    C   D         ← leaves (members)
```

When member B is removed, the committer updates B's direct path (B → X → root) and encrypts:

* New path secret for X → encrypted to A's leaf key (copath sibling)
* New path secret for root → encrypted to Y's node key (covers both C and D)

Two encryptions instead of three. For N members: O(log N).

The epoch payload carries `encrypted_path_secrets` addressed to **tree node positions**, not individual members:

```json
{
  "epoch": {
    "n": 2,
    "committer": "<admin_pub>",
    "encrypted_path_secrets": [
      { "node": 0, "ciphertext": "...", "ecdh_pub": "..." },
      { "node": 6, "ciphertext": "...", "ecdh_pub": "..." }
    ]
  }
}
```

Each member finds the entry for their copath ancestor, decrypts the path secret, and derives the epoch secret upward to the root. Tree structure (leaf assignments) is derived from the CT by replaying membership events.

> **Implementation note:** The existing implementation has not yet adopted the tree ratchet. Migration is pending.

#### How MLS Data Rides on RBAC Events

In the old implementation, epoch secrets were embedded in Grant/Revoke events. In RBAC v2, membership changes use Move events. The MLS data piggybacks on Move content as application-defined fields (permitted by [rbac-v2.md](/spec/rbac-v2) Section 8.1).

**Every membership-changing Move by admin creates a new epoch** — matching the old impl where Grant/Revoke always rotated. This provides backward secrecy (new members can't decrypt old messages) and forward secrecy (removed members can't decrypt new messages).

| Membership change   | RBAC event                              | MLS payload                                     |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Admin invite        | Move(OUTSIDER, MEMBER) by admin         | New epoch for all members (existing + new)      |
| Approve application | Move(PENDING, MEMBER) by admin          | New epoch for all members (existing + approved) |
| Kick / Ban          | Move(MEMBER, OUTSIDER/BLOCKED) by admin | New epoch for remaining members                 |
| Voluntary leave     | Move(MEMBER, OUTSIDER) by Self          | (none — rotate follows)                         |
| Auto-join           | Move(OUTSIDER, MEMBER) by Self          | (none — rotate follows)                         |

**Admin-created Moves carry the epoch payload** — the `epoch` object with `encrypted_path_secrets`:

```json
{
  "target": "<alice_pub>",
  "from": "OUTSIDER",
  "to": "MEMBER",
  "epoch": {
    "n": 1,
    "committer": "<admin_pub>",
    "encrypted_path_secrets": [
      { "node": 0, "ciphertext": "...", "ecdh_pub": "..." },
      { "node": 6, "ciphertext": "...", "ecdh_pub": "..." }
    ]
  }
}
```

**Self-initiated Moves carry no epoch** — the actor either doesn't have the epoch (auto-join) or can't distribute to others (leave). A separate `rotate` event follows, using the same `epoch` format.

**Trait changes (Grant/Revoke of admin, muted, dataview) do NOT trigger epoch rotation.** Traits modify permissions, not membership — the identity is still MEMBER and already holds the epoch.

#### Epoch Lifecycle

**Group creation:**

1. Owner generates epoch 0
2. Init bootstraps owner to MEMBER with owner+admin
3. Owner creates `rotate` with epoch 0 (self-encrypted, for recovery)
4. Owner invites initial members via Move(OUTSIDER, MEMBER) — each Move creates a new epoch distributed to all current members

**Admin invite / approve:**

* Move creates a new epoch distributed to all members (existing + new) — backward secrecy

**Admin kick / ban:**

* Move creates a new epoch distributed to remaining members (excluding removed) — forward secrecy

**Auto-join:**

* Self-created Move has no `epoch` field (member doesn't have it)
* Admin creates `rotate` with new epoch including the auto-join member
* Until rotate arrives, new member has MEMBER:R but cannot decrypt. Clients may implement peer-to-peer epoch delivery as a fallback when no admin is online

**Voluntary leave:**

* Self-created Move has no `epoch` field
* Admin creates `rotate` with new epoch for remaining members

**Standalone rotation:**

* Admin creates `rotate` with new epoch for all current members
* No membership change — security hygiene or ratchet cost management

**Monotonicity (client-validated):** `epoch.n` must be strictly greater than the highest `epoch.n` in the CT.

#### Epoch Recovery

On sync, the client replays the CT to recover epoch secrets:

1. Scan Move events with `epoch` field — decrypt path secrets from `encrypted_path_secrets`
2. Scan `rotate` events — decrypt path secrets from `encrypted_path_secrets`
3. Derive epoch secret from path secrets (upward to root)
4. Build epoch map: `{n → epoch_secret}`

#### Security Properties

| Property                   | Status                                         |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Per-message key isolation  | YES — unique key per message via ratchet       |
| Per-sender chain isolation | YES — sender\_pub in ratchet domain separation |
| Per-epoch forward secrecy  | YES — independent random epoch secrets         |
| Forward secrecy on removal | YES — epoch rotation excludes removed member   |
| Post-compromise security   | NO — identity key recovers all epochs from CT  |
| Stateless decryption       | YES — no persistent ratchet state              |
| Multi-device support       | YES — identity key sufficient for all epochs   |

All members with the epoch secret can derive any sender's ratchet chain (no per-contact isolation — by design for group read access). Same CT tradeoff as DM — see [dm.md](dm.md) Security Properties.


## Personal Enclave — RBAC v2

**Status**: Design
**Based on**: [rbac-v2.md](/spec/rbac-v2)

***

### Overview

A personal enclave is an identity anchor — holding who you are and where to find your data. Single-owner, no other human participants.

Three data layers:

* **profile** — KV Shared singleton. Public identity card. SMT-provable.
* **public** — Content events. Dynamic public content.
* **private** — Content events. Encrypted dynamic documents. Owner-only.

### Manifest

```json
{
  "states": ["OWNER"],
  "traits": ["dataview(1)"],
  "readers": [
    { "type": "OWNER", "reads": "*" }
  ],

  "moves": [],

  "grants": [
    { "event": "Grant", "operator": ["OWNER"], "scope": ["OUTSIDER"], "trait": ["dataview"] },
    { "event": "Revoke", "operator": ["OWNER"], "scope": ["OUTSIDER"], "trait": ["dataview"] }
  ],

  "transfers": [],

  "slots": [
    { "event": "Shared", "operator": "OWNER", "ops": ["C", "U", "D"], "key": "profile" },
    { "event": "Shared", "operator": "dataview", "ops": ["P"], "key": "profile" }
  ],

  "lifecycle": [
    { "event": "Terminate", "operator": "OWNER", "ops": ["C"] }
  ],

  "customs": [
    { "event": "public", "operator": "OWNER", "ops": ["C", "U", "D"] },
    { "event": "public", "operator": "dataview", "ops": ["P"] },
    { "event": "private", "operator": "OWNER", "ops": ["C", "U", "D"] }
  ],

  "init": [
    { "identity": "<owner_pub>", "state": "OWNER", "traits": [] }
  ]
}
```

#### Design Rationale

**States**: `["OWNER"]` — single State for the sole human identity. OUTSIDER (0) is implicit.

**Traits**: `["dataview(1)"]` — push delivery for service accounts.

**Operators**:

* `OWNER` (State) — all ops. Read on all events via readers. CUD on content and KV. Administrative: Grant, Revoke, Terminate.
* `dataview` (trait) — P on profile and public events for push delivery.

**No moves** — OWNER is bootstrapped via init. The owner never changes state. Validation rule 1 ("In and Out") is satisfied by init — OWNER is reachable at enclave creation.

**No transfers** — a personal enclave IS your identity; ownership cannot be transferred.

**Lifecycle**: Terminate only. No Pause/Resume — single owner, no security value.

### Event-Operator Matrix

| Event            | OWNER | OUTSIDER | dataview(1) |
| ---------------- | ----- | -------- | ----------- |
| public           | CRUD  |          | P           |
| private          | CRUD  |          |             |
| Shared(profile)  | CRUD  |          | P           |
| Grant(dataview)  | CR    |          |             |
| Revoke(dataview) | CR    |          |             |
| Terminate        | CR    |          |             |

Columns: States (OWNER, OUTSIDER) → traits (dataview).

### Data

#### KV Shared: profile

Public identity card. Singleton. SMT-provable.

Cross-application fields: `display_name`, `bio`, `avatar`. Recommended for interoperability across apps. Apps may add additional fields — the protocol does not constrain the internal structure.

#### Content event: public

Dynamic public content. Owner creates. Supports U (update) and D (delete).

The protocol does not prescribe content structure. Apps define their own content types freely.

#### Content event: private

Dynamic private documents. Owner-only. Encrypted. Supports U (update) and D (delete).

Each event's content is encrypted before submission. The node stores opaque ciphertext. Apps use content events with U for granular updates to independent documents — no single-blob limitation.

The protocol does not prescribe what documents are stored. Apps define their own document types freely.

### Encryption

#### profile

Plaintext. Readable by the owner. Service accounts receive pushes via dataview.

#### public

Plaintext. Readable by the owner.

#### private

Owner-only. Content is encrypted before submission — node stores opaque ciphertext.

```
content_key = HKDF(identity_secret, "enc-personal-private", enclave_id)
ciphertext = XChaCha20-Poly1305(content_key, nonce, plaintext)
```

* Deterministic key derivation — any device with the identity secret derives the same key.
* Unique nonce per event.
* No key rotation — single-owner, key never changes.

**Plaintext mode** (no opts or partial opts):

```javascript
const client = new NodeClient('https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev')
```

**Encrypted mode** (all four opts provided):

```javascript
import { SessionManager } from '@enc-protocol/client/session.js'

const sm = new SessionManager(myPrivateKey)
const client = new NodeClient('https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev', {
  enclaveId: '...',
  identityPubHex: '...',
  seqPubHex: '...',
  sessionManager: sm,
})
```

#### `.encrypted` (getter)

Returns `true` when all four ECDH credentials are configured.

```javascript
client.encrypted → boolean
```

#### `.submitCommit(commit)`

Submit a signed commit to the node.

```javascript
client.submitCommit(commit: Object) → Promise<Object>
```

Sends `POST /` with the commit JSON. The node detects commits by the presence of the `exp` field.

**Returns** a receipt object on success:

```javascript
{
  type: 'Receipt',
  seq: 0,
  id: '...',          // 64 hex event ID
  hash: '...',        // 64 hex commit hash
  timestamp: 1234567, // ms
  sig: '...',         // 128 hex author signature
  seq_sig: '...',     // 128 hex sequencer signature
  sequencer: '...',   // 64 hex sequencer pubkey
}
```

Or an error:

```javascript
{
  type: 'Error',
  code: 'UNAUTHORIZED' | 'EXPIRED' | 'DUPLICATE' | ...,
  message: '...',
}
```

```javascript
import { mkCommit, signCommit } from '@enc-protocol/core/event.js'

const commit = mkCommit(enclaveId, pubHex, 'post', '{"body":"hi"}', Date.now() + 300000, [])
const signed = signCommit(commit, privateKey)
const receipt = await client.submitCommit(signed)
console.log(receipt.id) // event ID
```

#### `.query(filter, auth?)`

Query events. Uses ECDH encryption when credentials are configured, plaintext otherwise.

```javascript
client.query(filter: Object, auth?: Object) → Promise<Object>
```

**Encrypted mode:**

The filter is encrypted with ECDH (label: `'enc:query'`). The request sends:

```json
{ "type": "Query", "enclave": "...", "from": "...", "content": "session.ciphertext" }
```

The response `content` is decrypted with label `'enc:response'`.

**Plaintext mode:**

```javascript

for (const event of result.events) {
  console.log(event.seq, event.type, event.content)
}
```

#### `.info()`

Get enclave info. Requires ECDH credentials.

```javascript
client.info() → Promise<Object>
```

Returns `{ type: 'Error', code: 'NO_CREDENTIALS', message: '...' }` without ECDH credentials.

#### `.getSTH(enclaveId?)`

Get the Signed Tree Head for an enclave.

```javascript
client.getSTH(enclaveId?: string) → Promise<{ t: number, ts: number, r: string, sig: string }>

const valid = verifySTH(sth.t, sth.ts, hexToBytes(sth.r), sth.sig, hexToBytes(seqPubHex))
```

#### `.getInclusion(leafIndex)`

Get an inclusion proof for a leaf (event). Uses ECDH when configured.

```javascript
client.getInclusion(leafIndex: number) → Promise<Object>
```

**Encrypted mode:** sends `POST /inclusion` with encrypted content containing `{ leaf_index }`.

**Plaintext mode:** sends `POST /inclusion` with `{ seq: leafIndex }`.

  from: string | null,   // identity pubkey for auth (or null)
  session: string | null, // session token (or null)
  filter?: Object        // { type?, from?, id?, seq?, timestamp?, limit? }

```javascript
import { NodeWebSocket } from '@enc-protocol/client/ws.js'
import { generateKeypair, bytesToHex, generateSession } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'
import { mkCommit, signCommit } from '@enc-protocol/core/event.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
const pub = bytesToHex(kp.publicKey)
const { session } = generateSession(kp.privateKey)

const ws = new NodeWebSocket('wss://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev/ws')

ws.on('open', () => {
  console.log('Connected')

  // Subscribe to all events
  ws.subscribe(enclaveId, pub, session, {})

### session.js — `SessionManager`

Auto-refreshing session token manager. Generates cryptographic session tokens and automatically refreshes them before expiry.

#### Constructor

```javascript
import { SessionManager } from '@enc-protocol/client/session.js'

const sm = new SessionManager(identityPriv, opts?)
```

| Parameter            | Type         | Default  | Description                                  |
| -------------------- | ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `identityPriv`       | `Uint8Array` | required | 32-byte identity private key                 |
| `opts.duration`      | `number`     | `3600`   | Session duration in seconds (capped at 7200) |
| `opts.refreshBefore` | `number`     | `300`    | Refresh this many seconds before expiry      |

#### `.getSession()`

Get a valid session, auto-refreshing if needed.

```javascript
sm.getSession() → {
  session: string,         // 136 hex char session token
  sessionPriv: Uint8Array, // 32-byte session private key
  expires: number          // Unix timestamp (seconds)
}
```

Auto-refreshes when `now >= expires - refreshBefore`.

#### `.token` (getter)

Get just the session token string (calls `getSession()` internally).

```javascript
sm.token → string  // 136 hex chars
```

#### `.valid` (getter)

Check if the current session is still valid (not expired).

```javascript
sm.valid → boolean
```

Returns `false` if no session has been generated yet.

#### `.refresh()`

Force immediate session refresh.

```javascript
sm.refresh()
```

#### Example

```javascript
import { SessionManager } from '@enc-protocol/client/session.js'
import { generateKeypair } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
const sm = new SessionManager(kp.privateKey, {
  duration: 3600,      // 1 hour sessions
  refreshBefore: 300,  // refresh 5 min before expiry
})

// First call generates a session
const { session, sessionPriv, expires } = sm.getSession()
console.log(sm.valid) // true

// Subsequent calls return cached session (until refresh needed)
const same = sm.getSession()
console.log(same.session === session) // true (same token)

// Force refresh
sm.refresh()
const fresh = sm.getSession()
console.log(fresh.session === session) // false (new token)
```

Create a new identity, optionally from a seed.

```javascript
createIdentity(seed?: Uint8Array) → {
  privateKey: Uint8Array,
  publicKey: Uint8Array,
  publicKeyHex: string
}
```

* Without seed: generates a random keypair
* With seed: derives the private key as `sha256(seed)`

```javascript
import { createIdentity } from '@enc-protocol/client/sdk.js'

// Random identity
const alice = createIdentity()

// Deterministic identity from seed
const bob = createIdentity(new TextEncoder().encode('bob-seed-phrase'))
console.log(bob.publicKeyHex) // always the same for same seed
```

##### `loadIdentity(privateKey)`

### wallet.js

Utilities for converting ENC secp256k1 x-only public keys to EVM (Ethereum) addresses.

#### The Y-Parity Problem

ENC uses x-only public keys (32 bytes). An x-coordinate corresponds to two possible full public keys (even-y and odd-y), which produce two different EVM addresses. These functions help resolve the ambiguity.

#### `encPubToEvmAddress(encPubHex)`

Convert an ENC x-only public key to both possible EVM addresses.

```javascript
encPubToEvmAddress(encPubHex: string) → [string, string]
// Returns [evenYAddress, oddYAddress]
```

Each address is a checksumless `0x`-prefixed 40-hex-char Ethereum address, derived via `keccak256(uncompressedPubkey)`.

```javascript
import { encPubToEvmAddress } from '@enc-protocol/client/wallet.js'

const [even, odd] = encPubToEvmAddress('abcd1234...')
console.log(even)  // '0x...' — address assuming even y-coordinate
console.log(odd)   // '0x...' — address assuming odd y-coordinate
```

#### `resolveEvmAddress(encPubHex, rpcUrl)`

Resolve the correct EVM address by checking on-chain balances.

```javascript
resolveEvmAddress(encPubHex: string, rpcUrl: string) → Promise<string>
```

Calls `eth_getBalance` on both possible addresses. Returns the one with the higher balance. Falls back to the even-y address on error or equal balances.

```javascript
import { resolveEvmAddress } from '@enc-protocol/client/wallet.js'

const addr = await resolveEvmAddress(pubHex, 'https://eth.llamarpc.com')
console.log(addr) // '0x...' — the address with higher balance
```

if (stateResult.proof) {
  const proof = wireToProof(stateResult.proof)
  const smtRoot = hexToBytes(stateResult.smt_root)
  const proofValid = verify(proof, smtRoot)

### Encrypted vs Plaintext Summary

| Feature        | Plaintext            | Encrypted (ECDH)                    |
| -------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `submitCommit` | Always plaintext     | Always plaintext                    |
| `query`        | Direct JSON filter   | Session-encrypted filter + response |
| `pull`         | Direct JSON          | Session-encrypted                   |
| `info`         | Not available        | Session-encrypted                   |
| `getSTH`       | Always plaintext GET | Always plaintext GET                |
| `getInclusion` | Plaintext POST       | Session-encrypted                   |
| `getState`     | Plaintext POST       | Session-encrypted                   |
| `pingLiveness` | Always OPTIONS       | Always OPTIONS                      |

ECDH encryption uses:

* **Request label:** `'enc:query'` (HKDF info)
* **Response label:** `'enc:response'` (HKDF info)
* **Wire format:** `"session_hex.ciphertext_base64"` in the `content` field
* **Key derivation:** `deriveSignerPriv(sessionPriv, sessionPub, seqPub, enclaveId)` then `ecdh(signerPriv, seqPub)` then `deriveKey(shared, label)`

//  'Gate', 'Shared', 'Own', 'AC_Bundle',
//  'Pause', 'Resume', 'Terminate', 'Migrate']
```

#### `EventStatus`

Possible statuses for events in the state tree.

```javascript

***

### crypto.js

Cryptographic operations built on `@noble/curves` (secp256k1), `@noble/hashes` (SHA-256), and `@noble/ciphers` (XChaCha20-Poly1305). All functions are pure and deterministic except `generateKeypair()`, `generateSession()`, and `encrypt()` which use `randomBytes`.

#### Domain Separation Constants

Used as single-byte prefixes in domain-separated hashes.

```javascript
import {
  DOMAIN_CT_LEAF,   // 0   — Certificate Transparency leaf hash prefix
  DOMAIN_CT_NODE,   // 1   — Certificate Transparency node hash prefix
  DOMAIN_COMMIT,    // 16  — Commit hash prefix
  DOMAIN_EVENT,     // 17  — Event hash prefix
  DOMAIN_ENCLAVE,   // 18  — Enclave ID hash prefix
  DOMAIN_SMT_LEAF,  // 32  — SMT leaf hash prefix
  DOMAIN_SMT_NODE,  // 33  — SMT node hash prefix
} from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'
```

#### `SMT_EMPTY_HASH`

The SHA-256 hash of empty input. Used as the default hash for empty SMT nodes and empty events roots.

```javascript
import { SMT_EMPTY_HASH } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

// Uint8Array(32) — equals sha256(new Uint8Array(0))
// Hex: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
```

***

#### Key Generation & Derivation

##### `generateKeypair()`

Generate a random secp256k1 keypair.

```javascript
generateKeypair() → { privateKey: Uint8Array(32), publicKey: Uint8Array(32) }
```

* `privateKey` — 32 random bytes (valid secp256k1 scalar)
* `publicKey` — x-only public key (32 bytes, no parity prefix)

```javascript
import { generateKeypair, bytesToHex } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
console.log(bytesToHex(kp.publicKey))  // 64 hex chars
```

##### `derivePublicKey(privateKey)`

Derive the x-only public key from a private key.

```javascript
derivePublicKey(privateKey: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Internally computes the compressed public key (33 bytes) and strips the parity prefix byte, returning the 32-byte x coordinate.

```javascript
import { derivePublicKey, hexToBytes } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const priv = hexToBytes('deadbeef...')  // 32 bytes
const pub = derivePublicKey(priv)       // 32 bytes, x-only
```

***

#### Encoding Utilities

##### `bytesToHex(bytes)`

Convert a `Uint8Array` to a lowercase hex string.

```javascript
bytesToHex(bytes: Uint8Array) → string
```

```javascript
bytesToHex(new Uint8Array([0xca, 0xfe])) // 'cafe'
```

##### `hexToBytes(hex)`

Convert a hex string to a `Uint8Array`. Accepts optional `0x` prefix.

```javascript
hexToBytes(hex: string) → Uint8Array
```

```javascript
hexToBytes('cafe')   // Uint8Array [0xca, 0xfe]
hexToBytes('0xcafe') // Uint8Array [0xca, 0xfe]
```

***

#### Hash Functions

##### `sha256Hash(data)`

Raw SHA-256 hash.

```javascript
sha256Hash(data: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

##### `sha256Str(str)`

SHA-256 of a UTF-8 encoded string.

```javascript
sha256Str(str: string) → Uint8Array(32)
```

```javascript
const hash = sha256Str('hello world')  // Uint8Array(32)
```

##### `domainHash(prefix, data)`

Domain-separated hash: `sha256(prefix_byte || data)`.

```javascript
domainHash(prefix: number, data: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Used internally by all tree hash functions. The single-byte prefix provides collision resistance between different hash domains.

##### `taggedHash(tag, data)`

BIP-340 tagged hash: `sha256(sha256(tag) || sha256(tag) || data)`.

```javascript
taggedHash(tag: string, data: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Used in session token generation for challenge computation.

***

#### Tree Hash Functions

##### `ctLeafHash(eventsRoot, stateHash)`

Certificate Transparency leaf hash.

```javascript
ctLeafHash(eventsRoot: Uint8Array, stateHash: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes `sha256(0x00 || eventsRoot || stateHash)`.

##### `ctNodeHash(left, right)`

Certificate Transparency internal node hash.

```javascript
ctNodeHash(left: Uint8Array, right: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes `sha256(0x01 || left || right)`.

##### `smtLeafHash(key, value)`

Sparse Merkle Tree leaf hash.

```javascript
smtLeafHash(key: Uint8Array, value: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes `sha256(0x20 || key || value)`.

##### `smtNodeHash(left, right)`

Sparse Merkle Tree internal node hash.

```javascript
smtNodeHash(left: Uint8Array, right: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes `sha256(0x21 || left || right)`.

***

#### Protocol Hash Functions

##### `computeContentHash(content)`

Hash event content (UTF-8 string).

```javascript
computeContentHash(content: string) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Equivalent to `sha256Hash(new TextEncoder().encode(content))`.

##### `computeCommitHash(contentHash, enclave, from, type, exp, tags)`

Compute the commit hash that gets signed.

```javascript
computeCommitHash(
  contentHash: string,   // hex string of content hash
  enclave: string,       // enclave ID (64 hex)
  from: string,          // author pubkey (64 hex)
  type: string,          // event type
  exp: number,           // expiration timestamp (ms)
  tags: string[][]       // tag array
) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Internally computes `sha256(JSON.stringify([16, enclave, from, type, contentHash, exp, encodedTags]))`.

##### `computeEventHash(seq, sequencer, sig1, timestamp)`

Compute the event hash (signed by the sequencer).

```javascript
computeEventHash(
  seq: number,           // sequence number
  sequencer: string,     // sequencer pubkey (64 hex)
  sig1: string,          // author signature (128 hex)
  timestamp: number      // event timestamp (ms)
) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Internally computes `sha256(JSON.stringify([1, seq, sequencer, sig1, timestamp]))`.

Note: The domain prefix `1` in the JSON array serves the same role as `DOMAIN_EVENT` but is embedded in the serialization format rather than prepended as a byte.

##### `computeEnclaveId(from, type, contentHash, tags)`

Derive a deterministic enclave ID from a manifest commit.

```javascript
computeEnclaveId(
  from: string,          // creator pubkey (64 hex)
  type: string,          // 'Manifest'
  contentHash: string,   // hex content hash
  tags: string[][]       // tags
) → string              // 64 hex chars
```

Returns a hex string (not bytes). The enclave ID is deterministic given the same inputs.

##### `computeEventId(sig2Hex)`

Compute event ID from the sequencer's signature.

```javascript
computeEventId(sig2Hex: string) → string  // 64 hex chars
```

Returns `sha256(hexToBytes(sig2Hex))` as a hex string. The event ID is the hash of the sequencer signature, making it globally unique.

##### `computeEventsRoot(eventIds)`

Compute Merkle root from an array of event IDs.

```javascript
computeEventsRoot(eventIds: string[]) → Uint8Array(32)
```

* Empty array returns `SMT_EMPTY_HASH`
* Single event returns the event ID bytes
* Multiple events are combined into a binary Merkle tree using `ctNodeHash`

***

#### Schnorr Signatures (BIP-340)

##### `schnorrSign(msgHash, privateKey)`

Create a BIP-340 Schnorr signature with deterministic nonce (zero auxiliary bytes).

```javascript
schnorrSign(msgHash: Uint8Array, privateKey: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(64)
```

The zero aux bytes (`new Uint8Array(32)`) ensure cross-implementation reproducibility. This is a deliberate deviation from standard BIP-340 which uses random aux bytes.

```javascript
const sig = schnorrSign(sha256Hash(message), privateKey)
// sig is 64 bytes: 32-byte R x-coordinate || 32-byte s scalar
```

##### `schnorrVerify(msgHash, signature, publicKey)`

Verify a BIP-340 Schnorr signature.

```javascript
schnorrVerify(
  msgHash: Uint8Array,    // 32 bytes
  signature: Uint8Array,  // 64 bytes
  publicKey: Uint8Array   // 32 bytes (x-only)
) → boolean
```

Returns `false` on any error (never throws).

***

#### Session Management

##### `generateSession(idPriv, duration?)`

Generate a session token and derived session keypair.

```javascript
generateSession(
  idPriv: Uint8Array,  // 32-byte identity private key
  duration?: number    // session duration in seconds (default: 7200, max: 7200)
) → {
  session: string,         // 136 hex chars: r(64) + sessionPub(64) + expires(8)
  sessionPriv: Uint8Array, // 32-byte session private key
  expires: number          // Unix timestamp (seconds) when session expires
}
```

The session token encodes:

* Bytes 0-31 (hex 0-63): `r` — random point x-coordinate
* Bytes 32-63 (hex 64-127): `sessionPub` — derived session public key
* Bytes 64-67 (hex 128-135): `expires` — big-endian uint32 expiration timestamp

The session private key is derived via EC point arithmetic: `sessionPriv = k + e * d` where `k` is random, `e` is a BIP-340 tagged challenge hash, and `d` is the identity private key.

```javascript
import { generateKeypair, generateSession, bytesToHex } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
const { session, sessionPriv, expires } = generateSession(kp.privateKey, 3600)
console.log(session.length)  // 136
console.log(expires)         // Unix seconds, ~1h from now
```

##### `verifySession(session, fromPubHex)`

Verify a session token was created by the given identity.

```javascript
verifySession(
  session: string,       // 136 hex char session token
  fromPubHex: string     // 64 hex char identity public key
) → string | null
```

Returns `null` on success. Returns an error string on failure:

* `'INVALID_SESSION: token must be 136 hex chars'`
* `'SESSION_EXPIRED: token expired'`
* `'INVALID_SESSION: expires too far in future (max 2h)'`
* `'INVALID_SESSION: session_pub verification failed'`

Clock skew tolerance: 60 seconds.

```javascript
import { generateKeypair, generateSession, verifySession, bytesToHex } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
const { session } = generateSession(kp.privateKey)
const pubHex = bytesToHex(kp.publicKey)

const err = verifySession(session, pubHex)
console.log(err) // null (valid)
```

***

#### ECDH Encryption

##### `ecdh(privKey, pubKey)`

Compute an ECDH shared secret.

```javascript
ecdh(privKey: Uint8Array, pubKey: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Uses secp256k1 point multiplication. The shared secret is the x-coordinate of the resulting point (32 bytes).

##### `deriveKey(shared, label)`

Derive an encryption key from a shared secret using HKDF-SHA256.

```javascript
deriveKey(shared: Uint8Array, label: string) → Uint8Array(32)
```

* `shared` — the ECDH shared secret
* `label` — HKDF info string (e.g. `'enc:query'`, `'enc:response'`)

No salt is used (`undefined`). Output is 32 bytes.

##### `encrypt(key, plaintext)`

Encrypt a string with XChaCha20-Poly1305.

```javascript
encrypt(key: Uint8Array, plaintext: string) → string  // base64
```

Returns base64-encoded `nonce(24) || ciphertext || tag(16)`. The 24-byte nonce is randomly generated.

##### `decrypt(key, ciphertextB64)`

Decrypt a base64-encoded XChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphertext.

```javascript
decrypt(key: Uint8Array, ciphertextB64: string) → string
```

Splits the decoded bytes into 24-byte nonce and remaining ciphertext, decrypts, and returns the UTF-8 string.

```javascript
import { ecdh, deriveKey, encrypt, decrypt, generateKeypair } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const alice = generateKeypair()
const bob = generateKeypair()

const sharedA = ecdh(alice.privateKey, bob.publicKey)
const sharedB = ecdh(bob.privateKey, alice.publicKey)
// sharedA === sharedB (same shared secret)

const key = deriveKey(sharedA, 'my-app:messages')
const ct = encrypt(key, 'hello bob')
const pt = decrypt(key, ct)
console.log(pt) // 'hello bob'
```

***

#### Signer Derivation

Used for ECDH-encrypted communication with the node. Derives per-session, per-enclave signer keys.

##### `deriveSignerPriv(sessionPriv, sessionPub, seqPub, enclaveId)`

Derive a signer private key from session credentials.

```javascript
deriveSignerPriv(
  sessionPriv: Uint8Array,  // 32-byte session private key
  sessionPub: Uint8Array,   // 32-byte session public key (x-only)
  seqPub: Uint8Array,       // 32-byte sequencer public key (x-only)
  enclaveId: string          // 64 hex char enclave ID
) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes `t = sha256(sessionPub || seqPub || enclaveBytes) mod n`, then `signerPriv = adjustedSessionPriv + t mod n`. The y-parity of the session public key point determines whether `sessionPriv` is negated.

##### `deriveSignerPub(sessionPub, seqPub, enclaveId)`

Derive the corresponding signer public key (without needing the private key).

```javascript
deriveSignerPub(
  sessionPub: Uint8Array,   // 32-byte session public key (x-only)
  seqPub: Uint8Array,       // 32-byte sequencer public key (x-only)
  enclaveId: string          // 64 hex char enclave ID
) → Uint8Array(32)
```

Computes the same `t` value and returns `sessionPubPoint + t*G` as an x-only public key.

***

#### Signed Tree Head (STH)

##### `signSTH(t, ts, rootHash, seqPriv)`

Sign a tree head.

```javascript
signSTH(
  t: number,               // tree size (number of leaves)
  ts: number,              // timestamp
  rootHash: Uint8Array,    // 32-byte Merkle root
  seqPriv: Uint8Array      // 32-byte sequencer private key
) → string                // 128 hex char Schnorr signature
```

The signed message is: `"enc:sth:" || bigEndian64(t) || bigEndian64(ts) || rootHash`.

##### `verifySTH(t, ts, rootHash, sigHex, seqPub)`

Verify a signed tree head.

```javascript
verifySTH(
  t: number,              // tree size
  ts: number,             // timestamp
  rootHash: Uint8Array,   // 32-byte Merkle root
  sigHex: string,         // 128 hex char signature
  seqPub: Uint8Array      // 32-byte sequencer public key
) → boolean
```

Returns `false` on any error (never throws).

```javascript
import { verifySTH, hexToBytes } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const sth = await (await fetch(`https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev/${enclaveId}/sth`)).json()
const valid = verifySTH(sth.t, sth.ts, hexToBytes(sth.r), sth.sig, hexToBytes(seqPubHex))
```

***

### event.js

Commit construction, signing, and verification. Commits are the unit of write in the ENC Protocol. A commit becomes an event after the sequencer co-signs it.

#### Constants

```javascript
import {
  MAX_EXP_WINDOW,       // 3600000 (1 hour in ms) — maximum expiration window
  CLOCK_SKEW_TOLERANCE, // 60000 (1 minute in ms) — clock skew tolerance
  acEventTypes,         // same as ACEventType from types.js
  lifecycleEventTypes,  // ['Pause', 'Resume', 'Terminate', 'Migrate']
} from '@enc-protocol/core/event.js'
```

#### `mkCommit(enclave, from, type, content, exp, tags)`

Create an unsigned commit object.

```javascript
mkCommit(
  enclave: string,   // enclave ID (64 hex)
  from: string,      // author public key (64 hex)
  type: string,      // event type (e.g. 'post', 'Grant', 'Manifest')
  content: string,   // event content (JSON string)
  exp: number,       // expiration timestamp in ms (epoch)
  tags: string[][]   // tag array (e.g. [['t', 'post'], ['p', '<pubkey>']])
) → {
  enclave: string,
  from: string,
  type: string,
  content: string,
  content_hash: string,   // hex SHA-256 of content
  hash: string,           // hex commit hash (to be signed)
  exp: number,
  tags: string[][]
}
```

The `hash` field is the value that gets signed by the author. It is computed as:
`sha256(JSON.stringify([16, enclave, from, type, contentHash, exp, encodedTags]))`.

```javascript
import { mkCommit, signCommit } from '@enc-protocol/core/event.js'
import { generateKeypair, bytesToHex } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const kp = generateKeypair()
const pub = bytesToHex(kp.publicKey)

const commit = mkCommit(
  enclaveId,
  pub,
  'post',
  JSON.stringify({ body: 'hello world' }),
  Date.now() + 300000,  // expires in 5 minutes
  []
)
```

#### `signCommit(commit, privateKey)`

Sign a commit, adding the `sig` field.

```javascript
signCommit(commit: Object, privateKey: Uint8Array) → Object
```

Returns a new object with all commit fields plus `sig` (128 hex char Schnorr signature over the commit `hash`).

```javascript
const signed = signCommit(commit, kp.privateKey)
// signed.sig is a 128 hex char string
```

#### `verifyCommit(commit)`

Verify that a commit's signature matches its hash and `from` pubkey.

```javascript
verifyCommit(commit: Object) → boolean
```

Returns `false` on any error (never throws). Requires `commit.hash`, `commit.sig`, and `commit.from`.

#### `verifyEvent(event)`

Verify both the author signature (sig) and sequencer co-signature (seq\_sig) on a finalized event.

```javascript
verifyEvent(event: Object) → boolean
```

First verifies the commit signature, then verifies the sequencer signature over the event hash.

#### `mkManifestCommit(from, manifestContent, exp, tags)`

Create a manifest commit with a deterministically derived enclave ID.

```javascript
mkManifestCommit(
  from: string,              // creator pubkey (64 hex)
  manifestContent: string,   // manifest JSON string
  exp: number,               // expiration timestamp (ms)
  tags: string[][]           // tags
) → Object                  // commit with derived enclave field
```

The `enclave` field is set to `computeEnclaveId(from, 'Manifest', contentHash, tags)`. This means the enclave ID is deterministic: the same creator, manifest content, and tags always produce the same enclave ID.

```javascript
import { mkManifestCommit, signCommit } from '@enc-protocol/core/event.js'

const manifest = JSON.stringify({
  enc_v: 2,
  nonce: Date.now(),
  RBAC: {
    use_temp: 'none',
    schema: [
      { event: 'post', role: 'owner', ops: ['C', 'U', 'D'] },
      { event: '*', role: 'Public', ops: ['R'] },
    ],
    states: [],
    traits: ['owner(0)'],
    initial_state: { owner: [myPubHex] },
  },
})

const commit = mkManifestCommit(myPubHex, manifest, Date.now() + 300000, [])
const signed = signCommit(commit, myPrivateKey)
// signed.enclave is the derived enclave ID
```

#### `finalizeCommit(commit, timestamp, seq, sequencerPubHex, sequencerKey)`

Finalize a commit into a full event (sequencer-side operation).

```javascript
finalizeCommit(
  commit: Object,          // signed commit
  timestamp: number,       // event timestamp (ms)
  seq: number,             // sequence number
  sequencerPubHex: string, // sequencer public key (64 hex)
  sequencerKey: Uint8Array // sequencer private key
) → Object                // event with seq, timestamp, sequencer, seq_sig, id
```

Adds the sequencer co-signature (`seq_sig`) and computes the event ID from it.

#### `mkReceipt(event)`

Extract a receipt from a finalized event.

```javascript
mkReceipt(event: Object) → {
  seq: number,
  id: string,
  hash: string,
  timestamp: number,
  sig: string,
  seq_sig: string,
  sequencer: string
}
```

#### `validateCommitStructure(commit)`

Validate a commit's hash matches its fields.

```javascript
validateCommitStructure(commit: Object) → string | undefined
```

Returns an error string (`'missing required fields'` or `'hash mismatch'`) or `undefined` on success.

#### Type Checking Functions

##### `isACEvent(type)`

Check if an event type is an access control event.

```javascript
isACEvent(type: string) → boolean
```

Uses `startsWith` matching, so `'Grant'` and `'Grant(admin)'` both return `true`.

### rbac.js

Role-based access control using bitmask operations. Each identity has a single `bigint` bitmask encoding both a state (low 8 bits) and trait flags (bits 8+).

#### Bitmask Layout

```
Bit:  255 ... 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1  0
      [--- traits ---]  [------ state (0-255) ------]
                     ^
                     |
                OWNER_BIT (bit 8, = FIRST_TRAIT_BIT)
```

* **Bits 0-7 (STATE\_MASK = 0xFF)**: State value (0 = outsider, 1-255 = named states from schema)
* **Bit 8 (OWNER\_BIT)**: Owner trait (always the first trait)
* **Bits 9+**: Custom traits defined in the manifest schema

#### Constants

```javascript
import {
  STATE_MASK,       // 0xFFn — masks low 8 bits
  FIRST_TRAIT_BIT,  // 8     — first trait bit position
  OUTSIDER_STATE,   // 0n    — outsider state value
  EMPTY_ROLES,      // 0n    — no roles assigned
  OWNER_BIT,        // 8     — same as FIRST_TRAIT_BIT
} from '@enc-protocol/core/rbac.js'
```

Additional internal constants:

```javascript
acEventTypesWithState   // same 13 AC event types
lifecycleOnlyACEvents   // ['Pause', 'Resume', 'Terminate', 'Migrate']
updateDeleteTypes       // ['Update', 'Delete']
kvEventTypes            // ['Shared', 'Own', 'Gate']
```

#### State Functions

##### `getState(bitmask)`

Extract the state value from the low 8 bits.

```javascript
getState(bitmask: bigint) → number  // 0-255
```

```javascript
getState(0x100n)  // 0 (outsider, but has trait bit 8 set)
getState(0x103n)  // 3
```

##### `setState(bitmask, stateValue)`

Set the state value, preserving trait bits.

```javascript
setState(bitmask: bigint, stateValue: number) → bigint
```

```javascript
setState(0x100n, 5)  // 0x105n — keeps owner bit, sets state to 5
```

##### `isOutsider(bitmask)`

Check if the identity has state 0 (outsider/no membership).

```javascript
isOutsider(bitmask: bigint) → boolean
```

#### Trait Functions

##### `hasTrait(bitmask, traitBit)`

Check if a trait bit is set.

```javascript
hasTrait(bitmask: bigint, traitBit: number) → boolean
```

```javascript
hasTrait(0x100n, 8)  // true (OWNER_BIT)
hasTrait(0x100n, 9)  // false
```

##### `setTrait(bitmask, traitBit)`

Set a trait bit.

```javascript
setTrait(bitmask: bigint, traitBit: number) → bigint
```

##### `clearTrait(bitmask, traitBit)`

Clear a trait bit.

```javascript
clearTrait(bitmask: bigint, traitBit: number) → bigint
```

##### `isOwner(mask)`

Check if the owner trait (bit 8) is set.

```javascript
isOwner(mask: bigint) → boolean
```

##### `bestRank(mask, traitRanks)`

Find the lowest (best) rank among all traits the identity holds.

```javascript
bestRank(mask: bigint, traitRanks: [number, number][]) → number | 'Infinity'
```

Each entry in `traitRanks` is `[traitBit, rank]`. Returns the minimum rank for traits that are set, or `'Infinity'` if none match.

##### `clearAllTraits(bitmask)`

Clear all trait bits, keeping only the state.

```javascript
clearAllTraits(bitmask: bigint) → bigint
```

```javascript
clearAllTraits(0x1FFn)  // 0xFFn (all traits cleared, state preserved)
```

#### Alias Functions

These are aliases for the trait functions, using `bit` parameter name:

```javascript
setRoleBit(bitmask, bit)    // alias for setTrait
clearRoleBit(bitmask, bit)  // alias for clearTrait
hasBit(bitmask, bit)        // alias for hasTrait
```

**Note:** The source code contains a bug where these aliases reference `traitBit` instead of `bit`. Use `setTrait`/`clearTrait`/`hasTrait` directly instead.

#### Type Checking Functions

##### `isContext(role)`

Check if a role name is a context role (Self, Sender, or Public).

```javascript
isContext(role: string) → boolean
```

##### `isACEventType(type)`

Check if a type starts with any AC event type string.

```javascript
isACEventType(type: string) → boolean
```

##### `isUpdateDeleteType(type)`

Check if the type is `'Update'` or `'Delete'`.

```javascript
isUpdateDeleteType(type: string) → boolean
```

##### `isKVEventType(type)`

Check if the type starts with `'Shared('`, `'Own('`, or `'Gate('`.

```javascript
isKVEventType(type: string) → boolean
```

#### Schema Functions

##### `schemaPermits(schema, roleName, eventType, op)`

Check if a schema grants an operation to a role for an event type.

```javascript
schemaPermits(
  schema: { event: string, role: string, ops: string[] }[],
  roleName: string,
  eventType: string,
  op: string
) → boolean
```

Matches `event === eventType` or `event === '*'` (wildcard).

##### `isAuthorized(schema, bitmask, eventType, op, isSelf?, isSender?, stateNames?, traitNames?)`

The main authorization function. Evaluates all applicable roles and returns whether the operation is permitted.

```javascript
isAuthorized(
  schema: { event: string, role: string, ops: string[] }[],
  bitmask: bigint,          // identity's role bitmask
  eventType: string,        // event type being checked
  op: string,               // operation (e.g. 'C', 'R')
  isSelf?: boolean,         // is the identity the event author? (default: false)
  isSender?: boolean,       // is the identity the commit sender? (default: false)
  stateNames?: string[],    // ordered state names from manifest (default: [])
  traitNames?: string[]     // ordered trait names from manifest (default: [])
) → boolean
```

Evaluation order:

1. Resolve state name from bitmask low 8 bits (index into `stateNames`, 0 = OUTSIDER)
2. Collect ops from the state role
3. Collect ops from each held trait
4. If `isSelf`, collect ops from `'Self'` role
5. If `isSender`, collect ops from `'Sender'` role
6. Always collect ops from `'Public'` and `'Any'` roles
7. Deny operations override grants (any `_X` removes `X`)

```javascript
import { isAuthorized, OWNER_BIT, setTrait, setState } from '@enc-protocol/core/rbac.js'

const schema = [
  { event: 'post', role: 'owner', ops: ['C', 'U', 'D'] },
  { event: '*', role: 'Public', ops: ['R'] },
]

// Owner with state 1 ('member')
const ownerMask = setTrait(setState(0n, 1), OWNER_BIT)

isAuthorized(schema, ownerMask, 'post', 'C', false, false, ['member'], ['owner'])
// true — owner role grants C on 'post'

isAuthorized(schema, 0n, 'post', 'R', false, false, [], [])
// true — Public grants R on '*'

isAuthorized(schema, 0n, 'post', 'C', false, false, [], [])
// false — outsider has no C grant
```

##### `getCustomRoleNames(schema)`

Extract custom (non-context) role names from a schema.

```javascript
getCustomRoleNames(schema: Object[]) → string[]
```

Filters out `'Self'`, `'Sender'`, `'Public'`, and `'Any'`.

##### `roleBitFromName(name, customRoles)`

Get the trait bit position for a custom role name.

```javascript
roleBitFromName(name: string, customRoles: string[]) → number | null
```

Returns `FIRST_TRAIT_BIT + indexOf(name)` or `null` if not found.

#### `RBACState` Class

```javascript
import { RBACState } from '@enc-protocol/core/rbac.js'

const state = new RBACState()
```

##### `getRoles(identity)`

  DEPTH,                 // 168 — tree depth in bits
  KEY_BYTES,             // 21  — key size in bytes
  EVENT_STATUS_DELETED,  // Uint8Array([0]) — sentinel value for deleted events
} from '@enc-protocol/core/smt.js'
```

#### Key Building Functions

All keys are 21 bytes: 1 namespace byte + 20 bytes from `sha256(rawKey)`.

##### `buildSMTKey(namespace, rawKey)`

Build a generic SMT key.

```javascript
buildSMTKey(namespace: number, rawKey: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array(21)
```

##### `buildRBACKey(identityHex)`

Build an RBAC state key for an identity.

```javascript
buildRBACKey(identityHex: string) → Uint8Array(21)
// namespace = SMTNamespace.RBAC
```

##### `buildEventStatusKey(eventIdHex)`

Build an event status key.

```javascript
buildEventStatusKey(eventIdHex: string) → Uint8Array(21)
// namespace = SMTNamespace.EventStatus
```

##### `buildKVKey(kvKey, identity)`

Build a key-value state key.

```javascript
buildKVKey(kvKey: string, identity?: string) → Uint8Array(21)
// namespace = SMTNamespace.KV
// If identity provided: sha256(kvKey + identity); otherwise sha256(kvKey)
```

#### Wire Format Conversion

##### `proofToWire(proof)`

Convert a proof object to wire format (hex strings).

```javascript
proofToWire(proof: { key, value, bitmap, siblings }) → {
  k: string,           // hex key
  v: string | null,    // hex value (null for non-membership)
  b: string,           // hex bitmap
  s: string[]          // hex siblings
}
```

##### `wireToProof(wire)`

Convert wire format back to a proof object (Uint8Arrays).

```javascript
wireToProof(wire: { k, v, b, s }) → {
  key: Uint8Array,
  value: Uint8Array | null,
  bitmap: Uint8Array,
  siblings: Uint8Array[]
}
```

#### Encoding Functions

##### `encodeRoleBitmask(bitmask)`

Encode a bigint bitmask as 32 big-endian bytes for SMT storage.

```javascript
encodeRoleBitmask(bitmask: bigint) → Uint8Array(32)
```

##### `decodeRoleBitmask(bytes)`

Decode 32 big-endian bytes back to a bigint bitmask.

```javascript
decodeRoleBitmask(bytes: Uint8Array) → bigint
```

##### `encodeEventStatus(status)`

Encode an event status for SMT storage.

```javascript
encodeEventStatus(status: string) → Uint8Array
// 'Deleted' → Uint8Array([0])
// Otherwise → hexToBytes(status) (the update event ID)
```

#### `verify(proof, expectedRoot)`

Verify an SMT membership or non-membership proof against a root hash.

```javascript
verify(
  proof: { key: Uint8Array, value: Uint8Array | null, bitmap: Uint8Array, siblings: Uint8Array[] },
  expectedRoot: Uint8Array
) → boolean
```

For membership proofs, `value` is non-null and the proof demonstrates the key-value pair exists in the tree. For non-membership proofs, `value` is null and the proof demonstrates the key is absent.

The bitmap is a 21-byte array where each bit indicates whether a sibling exists at that depth. The siblings array contains only the non-empty siblings, in order from leaf to root.

```javascript
import { verify, wireToProof } from '@enc-protocol/core/smt.js'
import { hexToBytes } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

// From a node API response
const proof = wireToProof(apiResponse.proof)
const root = hexToBytes(apiResponse.smt_root)
const valid = verify(proof, root)
```

smt.getRootHex() → string  // 64 hex chars
```

##### `get(key)`

Get the value for a key.

```javascript
smt.get(key: Uint8Array) → Uint8Array | null
```

##### `insert(key, value)`

Insert or update a key-value pair. Recomputes the root.

smt.insert(key: Uint8Array, value: Uint8Array)
```

##### `remove(key)`

Remove a key. Recomputes the root.

```javascript
smt.remove(key: Uint8Array)
```

##### `prove(key)`

```javascript
smt.prove(key: Uint8Array) → {
  key: Uint8Array,
  value: Uint8Array | null,
  bitmap: Uint8Array(21),
  siblings: Uint8Array[]
}
```

##### `serialize()` / `deserialize(data)`

Serialize the tree to/from a JSON-compatible format.

```javascript
smt.serialize() → { leaves: [string, string][] }  // [keyHex, valueHex] pairs
smt.deserialize(data: { leaves: [string, string][] })
```

Note: `deserialize` is an instance method (not static) that clears and repopulates the tree.

##### `SparseMerkleTree.verify`

Static reference to the module-level `verify` function.

```javascript
SparseMerkleTree.verify(proof, expectedRoot) → boolean
```

```javascript
import { SparseMerkleTree, buildRBACKey, encodeRoleBitmask } from '@enc-protocol/core/smt.js'

const proof = smt.prove(key)
const valid = SparseMerkleTree.verify(proof, smt.getRoot())
console.log(valid) // true
```

***

### ct.js

Certificate Transparency tree following RFC 9162. Provides append-only event log verification with inclusion and consistency proofs.

#### `verifyInclusionProof(leafHash, leafIndex, treeSize, path, expectedRoot)`

Verify that a leaf is included in a tree of a given size.

```javascript
verifyInclusionProof(
  leafHash: Uint8Array,     // 32-byte leaf hash
  leafIndex: number,        // 0-based leaf index
  treeSize: number,         // total number of leaves
  path: Uint8Array[],       // proof path (array of 32-byte hashes)
  expectedRoot: Uint8Array  // 32-byte expected root
) → boolean
```

Implements the RFC 9162 inclusion proof verification algorithm.

```javascript
import { verifyInclusionProof } from '@enc-protocol/core/ct.js'
import { hexToBytes } from '@enc-protocol/core/crypto.js'

const sth = await (await fetch(`${nodeUrl}/${enclaveId}/sth`)).json()
// Get inclusion proof from node API
const inclProof = await (await fetch(`${nodeUrl}/inclusion`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ seq: 0 }),
})).json()

const path = inclProof.ct_proof.p.map(h => hexToBytes(h))
const leafHash = hexToBytes(inclProof.leaf_hash)
const valid = verifyInclusionProof(leafHash, 0, sth.t, path, hexToBytes(sth.r))
```

#### `verifyConsistencyProof(size1, size2, path, firstRoot, secondRoot)`

Verify that a smaller tree is a prefix of a larger tree (append-only property).

```javascript
verifyConsistencyProof(
  size1: number,            // earlier tree size
  size2: number,            // later tree size
  path: Uint8Array[],       // consistency proof path
  firstRoot: Uint8Array,    // 32-byte root at size1
  secondRoot: Uint8Array    // 32-byte root at size2
) → boolean
```

Edge cases:

* `size1 > size2` returns `false`
* `size1 === 0` returns `true` (empty tree is prefix of everything)
* `size1 === size2` requires `path.length === 1` with matching roots

#### `verifyBundleMembership(eventIdHex, proof, expectedRootHex)`

Verify that an event ID is part of a bundle's events root.

```javascript
verifyBundleMembership(
  eventIdHex: string,         // 64 hex char event ID
  proof: { ei: number, s: string[] },  // bundle membership proof
  expectedRootHex: string     // 64 hex char expected events root
) → boolean
```

The proof contains:

* `ei` — event index within the bundle
* `s` — array of sibling hashes (hex strings)

#### `bundleMembershipProof(eventIds, eventIndex)`

Generate a bundle membership proof.

```javascript
bundleMembershipProof(
  eventIds: string[],    // array of event ID hex strings
  eventIndex: number     // index of the event to prove
) → { ei: number, s: string[] }
```

Throws if `eventIndex >= eventIds.length`.

#### `CTTree` Class

Full in-memory Certificate Transparency tree.

```javascript
import { CTTree } from '@enc-protocol/core/ct.js'

const ct = new CTTree()
```

##### `size` (getter)

Number of leaves in the tree.

```javascript
ct.size → number
```

##### `getRoot()` / `getRootHex()`

Get the current Merkle root.

```javascript
ct.getRoot() → Uint8Array(32)
ct.getRootHex() → string  // 64 hex chars
// Empty tree returns 64 zero bytes
```

##### `append(eventsRoot, stateHash)`

Append a new leaf (computed as `ctLeafHash(eventsRoot, stateHash)`).

```javascript
ct.append(eventsRoot: Uint8Array, stateHash: Uint8Array) → number  // leaf index
```

##### `inclusionProof(leafIndex)`

Generate an inclusion proof.

```javascript
ct.inclusionProof(leafIndex: number) → {
  ts: number,       // tree size at time of proof
  li: number,       // leaf index
  p: string[]       // proof path as hex strings
}
```

Throws if `leafIndex >= tree size`.

##### `consistencyProof(size1, size2?)`

Generate a consistency proof between two tree sizes.

```javascript
ct.consistencyProof(size1: number, size2?: number) → {
  ts1: number,      // first tree size
  ts2: number,      // second tree size
  p: string[]       // proof path as hex strings
}
```

`size2` defaults to current tree size. Throws if sizes are out of range.

##### `serialize()` / `deserialize(data)`

```javascript
ct.serialize() → string[]          // array of hex leaf hashes
ct.deserialize(data: string[])     // restore from serialized form
```

## Production Deployment Guide

### Architecture

```
enc-testnet.ocrybit.workers.dev    Ethereum devnet + block explorer
enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev       ENC protocol node (Durable Objects)
enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev      Provisioner API (D1 + service bindings)
enc-cloud.pages.dev                Frontend (CF Pages)
```

The provisioner uses **service bindings** to call the node and testnet Workers directly (no public URL fetch between Workers on the same account).

### Prerequisites

* Cloudflare account with Workers + Pages + D1
* `wrangler` CLI authenticated (`npx wrangler login`)
* `impl-node` deployed at `enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev`
* `utils/ethereum` deployed at `enc-testnet.ocrybit.workers.dev`

### 1. Generate admin token

```bash
yarn keygen
```

Save the `ADMIN_TOKEN` — you'll need it to configure the provisioner.

### 2. Create D1 database

```bash
cd provisioner
npx wrangler d1 create enc-cloud
```

Copy the `database_id` into `provisioner/wrangler.toml`.

### 3. Set secrets

```bash
npx wrangler secret put ADMIN_TOKEN --name enc-cloud
```

### 4. Deploy provisioner

```bash
yarn deploy
```

This deploys to `https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev` with service bindings to `enc-node` and `enc-testnet`.

### 5. Initialize database

```bash
yarn db:init    # create tables
yarn db:seed    # seed shared node URL
```

### 6. Configure USDT address

```bash
curl -X POST https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/config \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Admin-Token: YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"key":"usdt_address","value":"0x5fbdb2315678afecb367f032d93f642f64180aa3"}'
```

### 7. Deploy frontend

```bash
yarn deploy:frontend
```

First time requires creating the Pages project:

```bash
cd frontend
npx wrangler pages project create enc-cloud --production-branch main
```

The build injects production URLs via env vars:

* `VITE_PROV_URL=https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev`
* `VITE_NODE_URL=https://enc-node.ocrybit.workers.dev`
* `VITE_ETH_URL=https://enc-testnet.ocrybit.workers.dev`

### 8. Verify

```bash
# Templates
curl https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/templates

# Deploy an enclave
curl -X POST https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/tenants \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pub_key":"aaaa...64hex...","name":"test"}'

curl -X POST https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/enclaves \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer aaaa...64hex..." \
  -d '{"template":"Personal","name":"My Personal"}'
```

### Service Bindings

The provisioner can't use `fetch()` to call other Workers on the same CF account (error 1042). Service bindings solve this:

```toml
# wrangler.toml
[[services]]
binding = "ENC_NODE"
service = "enc-node"

[[services]]
binding = "ENC_TESTNET"
service = "enc-testnet"
```

Code uses `env.ENC_NODE.fetch()` in production and regular `fetch()` for local dev.

### Redeployment

```bash
# Provisioner only
yarn deploy

# Frontend only
yarn deploy:frontend

# Both
yarn deploy && yarn deploy:frontend
```

### Admin API

All admin endpoints require `X-Admin-Token` header.

```bash
TOKEN=your_admin_token

# Set config
curl -X POST https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/config \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Admin-Token: $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"key":"usdt_address","value":"0x..."}'

# Add to faucet whitelist
curl -X POST https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/faucet/whitelist \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Admin-Token: $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"address":"0x..."}'

# Remove from whitelist
curl -X DELETE https://enc-cloud.ocrybit.workers.dev/faucet/whitelist/0x... \
  -H "X-Admin-Token: $TOKEN"
```


## Local Development Guide

### Prerequisites

* Node.js 20+
* Yarn
* `impl-node` cloned alongside `impl-saas` (same parent directory)
* `utils/ethereum` cloned alongside (for testnet)

```
dev/
  impl-node/        ENC protocol node
  impl-saas/        this repo
  utils/ethereum/   Ethereum testnet
```

### Setup

```bash
cd impl-saas
cd provisioner && yarn install && cd ..
cd frontend && yarn install && cd ..
```

### Start Everything

```bash
yarn dev
```

Starts 4 servers:

| Service         | Port | Description                 |
| --------------- | ---- | --------------------------- |
| Ethereum devnet | 8545 | EVM testnet + USDT deployed |
| ENC Node        | 8787 | Protocol node               |
| Provisioner     | 8788 | SaaS API                    |
| Frontend        | 5173 | React dashboard             |

The script auto-initializes D1, seeds the shared node, and deploys USDT.

Open [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) in your browser.

### Test

```bash
# SDK + API tests (node:test)
yarn test          # 61 cloud SDK tests
yarn test:api      # 27 API integration tests

# Playwright E2E (browser)
yarn test:e2e           # headless
yarn test:e2e:headed    # see the browser
```

All tests start their own servers — you don't need `yarn dev` running.

### Login Flow

1. Open [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173)
2. Click **Connect Wallet**
3. Click **+ Dev account** (creates a local keypair)
4. Dashboard appears — deploy enclaves from there

### 1. Design Principles

1. **Minimal complete basis** — 14 expression forms, each irreducible. No form is derivable from the others except via encoding.
2. **Backend portability** — Every form has a direct lowering to JavaScript and Rust. No backend-specific constructs in the core grammar.
3. **Sandbox purity by construction** — No ambient access constructors. The grammar cannot express `Date.now()`, `fetch()`, or `Math.random()`. All external input enters through function parameters.
4. **Typed trust boundary** — 30 primitives are enumerated in a closed `Prim` type. The compiler knows every primitive by name. No string-based dispatch for trusted operations.
5. **Effects as data** — Side effects are records pushed to an ordered trace. The kernel never executes them. The host interprets them.
6. **Agent generation target** — Small, orthogonal, uniform. An LLM can generate correct EncDSL because the grammar is small enough to fit in a prompt.

***

### 2. Core Invariants

These hold for **every** well-formed EncDSL program:

* **Expressions are total and deterministic.** Every expression evaluates to a value. No exceptions, no divergence, no undefined behavior.
* **Statements cannot perform ambient effects directly.** The only way to cause a side effect is `emit`, which pushes a record onto the effect trace.
* **Effects are explicit data.** The effect trace is an ordered list of records. The kernel returns it; the host interprets it.
* **Generated kernel behavior depends only on explicit inputs.** Same `(state, event, context)` → same `(newState, effects)`.
* **Any target backend must preserve canonical serialization and effect ordering.** A conforming Rust implementation produces byte-identical output to the JavaScript implementation for identical inputs.

***

### 3. Value Domain

```
Val ::= nat   Nat           -- unbounded natural number
      | bool  Bool          -- true or false
      | str   String        -- UTF-8 string
      | bytes List<UInt8>   -- byte array
      | list  List<Val>     -- ordered list of values
      | record List<(String × Val)>  -- association list (key-value pairs)
      | none                -- absence (null)
```

#### Lean definition

```lean
inductive Val where
  | nat (n : Nat)
  | bool (b : Bool)
  | str (s : String)
  | bytes (bs : List UInt8)
  | list (vs : List Val)
  | record (fields : List (String × Val))
  | none
```

#### Backend representations

| Val                     | JavaScript               | Rust                                    |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| `nat 42`                | `42`                     | `42`                                    |
| `bool true`             | `true`                   | `true`                                  |
| `str "hello"`           | `'hello'`                | `"hello".to_string()`                   |
| `bytes [0x01, 0x02]`    | `new Uint8Array([1, 2])` | `vec![1u8, 2u8]`                        |
| `list [nat 1, nat 2]`   | `[1, 2]`                 | `vec![1, 2]`                            |
| `record [("a", nat 1)]` | `{ a: 1 }`               | `HashMap::from([("a".to_string(), 1)])` |
| `none`                  | `null`                   | `None`                                  |

#### Notes

* **Single number type.** No BigInt/Number distinction at the DSL level. Backend decides representation. JavaScript uses `Number` for small values and `BigInt` for bitmask operations (injected via `rawExpr` or `Prim.bigInt`/`Prim.number`).
* **No closure values.** Lambdas exist in the expression grammar but `eval` returns `none` for closures. Closures are compilation-only constructs — they compile to JS/Rust closures but have no first-class representation in the value domain.

***

### 4. Expression Grammar (14 forms)

Every expression has a unique constructor in the `Expr` inductive type. The 14 forms are:

#### 4.1 `var` — Variable Reference

```
Syntax:    var(name)
Lean:      .var (name : String)
Semantics: Look up `name` in the environment. Returns `none` if unbound.
JS:        name
Rust:      name
```

Example: `.var "x"` → JS: `x` → Rust: `x`

Special handling in Rust: JS-specific literals in variable names are translated:

* `0xFFn` → `0xFFu128`
* `1n` → `1u128`
* `===` → `==`

#### 4.2 `lit` — Literal Value

```
Syntax:    lit(val)
Lean:      .lit (val : Val)
Semantics: Return the literal value unchanged.
JS:        (see Val compilation table in §3)
Rust:      (see Val compilation table in §3)
```

Examples:

* `.lit (.nat 42)` → JS: `42` → Rust: `42`
* `.lit (.bool true)` → JS: `true` → Rust: `true`
* `.lit (.str "hello")` → JS: `'hello'` → Rust: `"hello".to_string()`
* `.lit (.none)` → JS: `null` → Rust: `None`
* `.lit (.list [.nat 1, .nat 2])` → JS: `[1, 2]` → Rust: `vec![1, 2]`
* `.lit (.record [("a", .nat 1), ("b", .nat 2)])` → JS: `{ a: 1, b: 2 }` → Rust: `HashMap::from([...])`

#### 4.3 `lam` — Lambda Abstraction

```
Syntax:    lam(param, body)
Lean:      .lam (param : String) (body : Expr)
Semantics: Opaque in eval (returns none). Compilation-only construct.
JS:        (param) => body
Rust:      |param| body
```

Example: `.lam "x" (.op .add [.var "x", .lit (.nat 1)])` → JS: `(x) => (x + 1)` → Rust: `|x| (x + 1)`

#### 4.4 `app` — Function Application

```
Syntax:    app(fn, arg)
Lean:      .app (fn : Expr) (arg : Expr)
Semantics: Opaque in eval (returns none). Compilation-only.
JS:        fn(arg)
Rust:      fn(arg)
```

Example: `.app (.var "f") (.lit (.nat 5))` → JS: `f(5)` → Rust: `f(5)`

#### 4.5 `letE` — Let Binding

```
Syntax:    let name = val in body
Lean:      .letE (name : String) (val : Expr) (body : Expr)
Semantics: Evaluate val, bind to name, evaluate body in extended env.
JS:        (() => { const name = val; return body; })()
Rust:      { let name = val; body }
```

Example: `.letE "x" (.lit (.nat 5)) (.op .add [.var "x", .lit (.nat 3)])` → JS: `(() => { const x = 5; return (x + 3); })()` → eval: `nat 8`

**Note:** JS uses an IIFE wrapper because `let` in expressions requires a block. Rust uses a block expression naturally.

#### 4.6 `ifE` — Conditional Expression

```
Syntax:    if cond then thn else els
Lean:      .ifE (cond : Expr) (thn : Expr) (els : Expr)
Semantics: Evaluate cond. If bool true, evaluate thn. If bool false, evaluate els.
           If cond is not a bool, returns none.
JS:        (cond ? thn : els)
Rust:      if cond { thn } else { els }
```

Example: `.ifE (.lit (.bool true)) (.lit (.nat 1)) (.lit (.nat 2))` → JS: `(true ? 1 : 2)` → eval: `nat 1`

#### 4.7 `record` — Record Construction

```
Syntax:    { k₁: e₁, ..., kₙ: eₙ }
Lean:      .record (fields : List (String × Expr))
Semantics: Evaluate each field value, return a record value.
JS:        { k₁: e₁, ..., kₙ: eₙ }
Rust:      json!({ "k₁": e₁, ..., "kₙ": eₙ })
```

Example: `.record [("name", .lit (.str "alice")), ("age", .lit (.nat 30))]` → JS: `{ name: 'alice', age: 30 }` → Rust: `json!({ "name": "alice".to_string(), "age": 30 })`

#### 4.8 `get` — Field Access

```
Syntax:    obj.field
Lean:      .get (obj : Expr) (field : String)
Semantics: If obj is a record, look up field by key. Returns none if missing.
JS:        obj.field        (if field is a name)
           obj[field]       (if field is all digits — array index)
Rust:      obj["field"]
```

Examples:

* `.get (.var "person") "name"` → JS: `person.name` → Rust: `person["name"]`
* `.get (.var "pair") "0"` → JS: `pair[0]` → Rust: `pair["0"]`

**Numeric field detection**: If `field.all Char.isDigit` is true, JS uses bracket notation `[field]` instead of dot notation `.field`. This handles tuple-like access patterns.

#### 4.9 `set` — Record Update (Spread)

```
Syntax:    { obj with field = val }
Lean:      .set (obj : Expr) (field : String) (val : Expr)
Semantics: If obj is a record, update or insert the field. Returns a new record.
JS:        ({ ...obj, field: val })
Rust:      { let mut r = obj.clone(); r["field"] = val; r }
```

Example: `.set (.var "config") "timeout" (.lit (.nat 5000))` → JS: `({ ...config, timeout: 5000 })`

#### 4.10 `list` — List Construction

```
Syntax:    [e₁, ..., eₙ]
Lean:      .list (elems : List Expr)
Semantics: Evaluate each element, return a list value.
JS:        [e₁, ..., eₙ]
Rust:      vec![e₁, ..., eₙ]
```

#### 4.11 `fold` — Universal List Iteration

```
Syntax:    fold(lst, init, λ(acc, elem). body)
Lean:      .fold (lst : Expr) (init : Expr) (accParam : String) (elemParam : String) (body : Expr)
Semantics: If lst is a list, left-fold body over lst starting from init.
           For each element, bind accParam and elemParam, evaluate body.
           Returns final accumulator. Returns none if lst is not a list.
JS:        lst.reduce((accParam, elemParam) => body, init)
Rust:      lst.iter().fold(init, |accParam, elemParam| body)
```

Example — sum a list:

```lean
.fold
  (.list [.lit (.nat 1), .lit (.nat 2), .lit (.nat 3)])
  (.lit (.nat 0))
  "acc" "x"
  (.op .add [.var "acc", .var "x"])
```

→ JS: `[1, 2, 3].reduce((acc, x) => (acc + x), 0)` → eval: `nat 6`

**Why fold?** `map`, `filter`, `find`, `any`, `all` are all derivable from fold. One iteration primitive is sufficient. See §16 for derivations.

#### 4.12 `dispatch` — Tag Dispatch

```
Syntax:    dispatch scrutinee { k₁ → e₁ | ... | kₙ → eₙ | default → e_d }
Lean:      .dispatch (scrutinee : Expr) (cases : List (String × Expr)) (default : Expr)
Semantics: Evaluate scrutinee. If it's a string, look up matching case.
           If found, evaluate that case's expression. Otherwise, evaluate default.
           If scrutinee is not a string, evaluate default.
JS:        (() => { switch (scrutinee) { case 'k₁': return e₁; ... default: return e_d; } })()
Rust:      match scrutinee.as_str() { "k₁" => e₁, ... _ => e_d }
```

Example — lifecycle state machine:

```lean
.dispatch (.var "state")
  [("Active", .lit (.bool true)),
   ("Paused", .op .eq [.var "eventType", .lit (.str "Resume")]),
   ("Terminated", .lit (.bool false))]
  (.lit (.bool false))
```

→ JS: `(() => { switch (state) { case 'Active': return true; case 'Paused': return (eventType === 'Resume'); case 'Terminated': return false; default: return false; } })()`

→ Rust: `match state.as_str() { "Active" => true, "Paused" => (eventType == "Resume".to_string()), "Terminated" => false, _ => false }`

**Why dispatch and not match?** This is tag dispatch on string values, not general pattern matching. String tags are the only scrutinee type. This matches the protocol's event-type dispatching pattern. General pattern matching is intentionally excluded — it would require a pattern language that adds complexity without protocol benefit.

#### 4.13 `op` — Built-in Operation

```
Syntax:    op(args)
Lean:      .op (operation : Op) (args : List Expr)
Semantics: Evaluate all args, apply the built-in operation.
           See §6 for each operation's semantics.
JS/Rust:   See §6 for per-op compilation rules.
```

Example: `.op .add [.lit (.nat 3), .lit (.nat 4)]` → JS: `(3 + 4)` → eval: `nat 7`

#### 4.14a `prim` — Typed Pure Primitive Call

```
Syntax:    prim(Prim.name, args)
Lean:      .prim (p : Prim) (args : List Expr)
Semantics: Opaque in eval (returns none). Trusted external function.
           See §7 for the full primitive registry.
JS:        primName(args)
Rust:      prim_name(args)
```

Example: `.prim .sha256 [.var "data"]` → JS: `sha256(data)` → Rust: `sha256_hash(data)`

#### 4.14b `call` — String-based Call

```
Syntax:    call(name, args)
Lean:      .call (name : String) (args : List Expr)
Semantics: Opaque in eval (returns none). Dynamic dispatch by string name.
JS:        name(args)
Rust:      name(args)
```

Example: `.call "new Uint8Array" [.lit (.nat 32)]` → JS: `new Uint8Array(32)` → Rust: `new Uint8Array(32)`

**When to use `call` vs `prim`:** Use `prim` for the 30 enumerated trusted primitives. Use `call` for everything else: host APIs, method dispatch, constructor invocations. `call` is not in the TCB — it's string-based and the compiler passes it through verbatim. `prim` is in the TCB — the compiler knows every primitive by enum variant.

#### 4.14c `rawExpr` — Escape Hatch

```
Syntax:    rawExpr(code)
Lean:      .rawExpr (code : String)
Semantics: Opaque in eval (returns none). Verbatim code injection.
JS:        code (unchanged)
Rust:      code with JS→Rust translations (0xFFn→0xFFu128, 1n→1u128)
```

See §9 for full details and audit.

***

### 5. Statement Grammar (7 forms)

**Semantics:** `Stmt : Env × State → Value × OrderedEffectTrace`

Statements extend expressions with ordered effects. State is external (host-persisted), read through Env, written via emit effects. Stmt execution does not mutate state in place — all state changes are effect descriptions.

**Effects are ordered:** `emit A; emit B ≠ emit B; emit A`

#### 5.1 `ret` — Return Value

```
Syntax:    return val
Lean:      .ret (val : Expr)
Semantics: Return the evaluated expression. End the statement.
JS:        return val       (if val is not lit none)
           (empty string)   (if val is lit none — used in constructors)
Rust:      return val
```

**Special case:** `.ret (.lit .none)` compiles to empty string in JS. This is used in constructors where `return null` would be incorrect.

#### 5.2 `emit` — Effect Emission

```
Syntax:    emit(type, { k₁: e₁, ... }); rest
Lean:      .emit (effectType : String) (payload : List (String × Expr)) (rest : Stmt)
Semantics: Push an effect record onto the trace, then continue with rest.
JS:        effects.push({ type: 'effectType', k₁: e₁, ... })
           rest
Rust:      effects.push(Effect { type_: "effectType", ... });
           rest
```

The `effects` array is implicitly created by `EffectFuncDecl` compilation. Every effect function starts with `const effects = []`.

Example:

```lean
.emit "storage.appendEvent"
  [("event", .var "signedEvent")]
  (.emit "transport.broadcast"
    [("filter", .lit (.str "*")), ("payload", .var "signedEvent")]
    (.ret (.var "signedEvent")))
```

→ JS:

```javascript
effects.push({ type: 'storage.appendEvent', event: signedEvent })
effects.push({ type: 'transport.broadcast', filter: '*', payload: signedEvent })
return signedEvent
```

#### 5.3 `letS` — Statement Binding

```
Syntax:    const name = val; body
Lean:      .letS (name : String) (val : Expr) (body : Stmt)
Semantics: Evaluate val, bind to name, continue with body.
JS:        const name = val
           body
           (if name starts with "_": val  (no const — void expression))
Rust:      let name = val;
           body
```

**Underscore convention:** If `name` starts with `_`, the binding is compiled as a void expression (no `const` keyword). This handles side-effectful expressions where the return value is discarded (e.g., `buf.set(...)` calls).

Example: `.letS "_" (.call "buf.set" [.var "data", .lit (.nat 0)]) (.ret (.var "buf"))` → JS: `buf.set(data, 0)\n  return buf`

#### 5.4 `ifS` — Statement Conditional

```
Syntax:    if cond then thn else els
Lean:      .ifS (cond : Expr) (thn : Stmt) (els : Stmt)
Semantics: Evaluate cond. Branch to thn or els.
JS:        if (cond) {
             thn
           } else {
             els
           }
Rust:      if cond {
             thn
           } else {
             els
           }
```

#### 5.5 `dispatch` — Statement Tag Dispatch

```
Syntax:    switch scrutinee { k₁ → s₁ | ... | kₙ → sₙ | default → s_d }
Lean:      .dispatch (scrutinee : Expr) (cases : List (String × Stmt)) (default : Stmt)
JS:        switch (scrutinee) {
             case 'k₁':
               s₁
               break
             ...
             default:
               s_d
           }
```

#### 5.6 `forIn` — Collection Iteration

### 6. Built-in Operations (21 ops)

**No overloading.** Each op has exactly one domain. Where JavaScript uses `+` for both numbers and strings, EncDSL has separate `add` (numbers) and `concatStr` (strings).

#### Lean definition

```lean
inductive Op where
  | add | sub | mul | div | mod         -- Arithmetic (5)
  | band | bor | bxor | bnot | shl | shr  -- Bitwise (6)
  | eq | lt | le                        -- Comparison (3)
  | and | or | not                      -- Boolean (3)
  | concatStr | concatList              -- Concatenation (2)
  | lengthStr | lengthList | lengthBytes   -- Length (3)
```

##### Arithmetic (5)

| Op    | Arity | Domain          | Semantics                                          | JS        | Rust      |
| ----- | ----- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------- | --------- |
| `add` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | `a + b`                                            | `(a + b)` | `(a + b)` |
| `sub` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | `a - b` (truncating)                               | `(a - b)` | `(a - b)` |
| `mul` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | `a * b`                                            | `(a * b)` | `(a * b)` |
| `div` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | `a / b` (floor division). Returns `none` if b = 0. | `(a / b)` | `(a / b)` |
| `mod` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | `a % b`. Returns `none` if b = 0.                  | `(a % b)` | `(a % b)` |

##### Bitwise (6)

| Op     | Arity | Domain          | Semantics                                                            | JS         | Rust       |
| ------ | ----- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| `band` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | Bitwise AND                                                          | `(a & b)`  | `(a & b)`  |
| `bor`  | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | Bitwise OR                                                           | `(a \| b)` | `(a \| b)` |
| `bxor` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | Bitwise XOR                                                          | `(a ^ b)`  | `(a ^ b)`  |
| `bnot` | 1     | Nat → Nat       | Bitwise NOT (opaque in eval — two's complement is platform-specific) | `~(a)`     | `(!a)`     |
| `shl`  | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | Left shift                                                           | `(a << b)` | `(a << b)` |
| `shr`  | 2     | Nat × Nat → Nat | Right shift                                                          | `(a >> b)` | `(a >> b)` |

**RBAC bitmask usage:** Bitwise ops are used extensively for the protocol's RBAC bitmask system. State bits occupy the low 8 bits (`0xFF` mask), trait bits start at bit 8. Example: `getState(bitmask) = band(bitmask, 0xFF)`, `hasTrait(bitmask, bit) = not(eq(band(shr(bitmask, bit), 1), 0))`.

##### Comparison (3)

| Op   | Arity | Domain           | Semantics                                | JS          | Rust       |
| ---- | ----- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- |
| `eq` | 2     | Val × Val → Bool | Structural equality across all Val types | `(a === b)` | `(a == b)` |
| `lt` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Bool | Less than                                | `(a < b)`   | `(a < b)`  |
| `le` | 2     | Nat × Nat → Bool | Less than or equal                       | `(a <= b)`  | `(a <= b)` |

**Note:** `eq` uses strict equality (`===`) in JS. It works on all value types including strings. `lt` and `le` are defined only on naturals.

##### Boolean (3)

| Op    | Arity | Domain             | Semantics   | JS           | Rust         |
| ----- | ----- | ------------------ | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| `and` | 2     | Bool × Bool → Bool | Logical AND | `(a && b)`   | `(a && b)`   |
| `or`  | 2     | Bool × Bool → Bool | Logical OR  | `(a \|\| b)` | `(a \|\| b)` |
| `not` | 1     | Bool → Bool        | Logical NOT | `!(a)`       | `(!a)`       |

##### Concatenation (2) — Disambiguated

| Op           | Arity | Domain             | Semantics            | JS             | Rust                                               |
| ------------ | ----- | ------------------ | -------------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `concatStr`  | 2     | Str × Str → Str    | String concatenation | `(a + b)`      | `format!("{}{}", a, b)`                            |
| `concatList` | 2     | List × List → List | List concatenation   | `[...a, ...b]` | `{ let mut v = a.clone(); v.extend(b.iter()); v }` |

**Why disambiguated?** JS uses `+` for both. The DSL uses distinct ops so the type checker can verify no accidental string/list confusion. Both `concatStr` and `concatList` compile to `(a + b)` in JS, but `concatList` uses spread syntax and `concatStr` uses `format!` in Rust.

##### Length (3) — Disambiguated

| Op            | Arity | Domain      | Semantics         | JS         | Rust      |
| ------------- | ----- | ----------- | ----------------- | ---------- | --------- |
| `lengthStr`   | 1     | Str → Nat   | String length     | `a.length` | `a.len()` |
| `lengthList`  | 1     | List → Nat  | List length       | `a.length` | `a.len()` |
| `lengthBytes` | 1     | Bytes → Nat | Byte array length | `a.length` | `a.len()` |

All three compile to `.length` in JS and `.len()` in Rust. They are distinct in the DSL for type-level reasoning.

#### Type errors in ops

If an op receives arguments of the wrong type (e.g., `add` on strings), `evalOp` returns `none`. The compilers do not insert runtime type checks — correctness is guaranteed by construction at the DSL level and verified by the Lean type checker.

### 7. Typed Primitive Registry (30 primitives)

The `Prim` type enumerates every trusted external function. Each is referentially transparent — same inputs, same outputs, no side effects. This set IS the trusted primitive surface.

#### Lean definition

```lean
inductive Prim where
  -- Crypto hashing (5)
  | sha256 | sha256Hash | sha256Str | taggedHash | buildSTHMessage
  -- Schnorr signing (3)
  | schnorrSign | schnorrVerify | derivePublicKey
  -- ECDH + encryption (4)
  | ecdh | deriveKey | encrypt | decrypt
  -- STH (2)
  | signSTH | verifySTH
  -- Protocol hashing (7)
  | computeContentHash | computeCommitHash | computeEventHash

| `buildSTHMessage` | (nat, nat, bytes, bytes) → string | Build signed tree head message  | `buildSTHMessage` | `build_sth_message` |

##### Schnorr Signing (3)

| Prim              | Signature                    | Purpose                               | JS Name           | Rust Name           |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- |
| `schnorrSign`     | (bytes, bytes) → bytes       | BIP-340 Schnorr sign (zero aux bytes) | `schnorrSign`     | `schnorr_sign`      |
| `schnorrVerify`   | (bytes, bytes, bytes) → bool | BIP-340 Schnorr verify                | `schnorrVerify`   | `schnorr_verify`    |
| `derivePublicKey` | bytes → bytes                | Derive secp256k1 x-only public key    | `derivePublicKey` | `derive_public_key` |

**Determinism note:** `schnorrSign` uses zero auxiliary bytes (`new Uint8Array(32)`) to ensure deterministic signatures. Standard BIP-340 uses random aux bytes for side-channel resistance, but the protocol requires cross-implementation reproducibility.

##### ECDH + Encryption (4)

| Prim        | Signature               | Purpose                           | JS Name     | Rust Name    |

##### STH — Signed Tree Head (2)

| Prim        | Signature                               | Purpose                      | JS Name     | Rust Name    |

| `computeEventHash`   | record → bytes                | Hash full event           | `computeEventHash`   | `compute_event_hash`   |
| `computeEnclaveId`   | record → string               | Derive enclave identifier | `computeEnclaveId`   | `compute_enclave_id`   |
| `computeEventId`     | (string, bytes, nat) → string | Derive event identifier   | `computeEventId`     | `compute_event_id`     |
| `computeEventsRoot`  | list → bytes                  | Merkle root of event list | `computeEventsRoot`  | `compute_events_root`  |

##### Domain Hashing (4)

| Prim          | Signature              | Purpose                               | JS Name       | Rust Name       |
| ------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------- |
| `smtLeafHash` | (bytes, bytes) → bytes | SMT leaf hash with domain prefix 0x20 | `smtLeafHash` | `smt_leaf_hash` |
| `smtNodeHash` | (bytes, bytes) → bytes | SMT node hash with domain prefix 0x21 | `smtNodeHash` | `smt_node_hash` |
| `ctLeafHash`  | (bytes, bytes) → bytes | CT leaf hash with domain prefix 0x00  | `ctLeafHash`  | `ct_leaf_hash`  |
| `ctNodeHash`  | (bytes, bytes) → bytes | CT node hash with domain prefix 0x01  | `ctNodeHash`  | `ct_node_hash`  |

**Domain separation:** Each tree type (SMT, CT) uses a distinct domain prefix byte. This prevents second-preimage attacks where an attacker substitutes a leaf for a node. The prefixes are:

* `DOMAIN_CT_LEAF = 0x00`
* `DOMAIN_CT_NODE = 0x01`
* `DOMAIN_COMMIT = 0x10`
* `DOMAIN_EVENT = 0x11`
* `DOMAIN_ENCLAVE = 0x12`
* `DOMAIN_SMT_LEAF = 0x20`
* `DOMAIN_SMT_NODE = 0x21`

##### Encoding (3)

| Prim            | Signature      | Purpose            | JS Name          | Rust Name               |
| --------------- | -------------- | ------------------ | ---------------- | ----------------------- |
| `bytesToHex`    | bytes → string | Hex-encode bytes   | `bytesToHex`     | `bytes_to_hex`          |
| `hexToBytes`    | string → bytes | Hex-decode string  | `hexToBytes`     | `hex_to_bytes`          |
| `jsonStringify` | val → string   | JSON serialization | `JSON.stringify` | `serde_json::to_string` |

##### Type Coercion (2)

| Prim     | Signature    | Purpose                         | JS Name  | Rust Name |
| -------- | ------------ | ------------------------------- | -------- | --------- |
| `bigInt` | val → BigInt | Convert to BigInt (JS-specific) | `BigInt` | (no-op)   |
| `number` | val → Number | Convert to Number (JS-specific) | `Number` | (no-op)   |

**Cross-backend note:** `bigInt` and `number` are no-ops in Rust because Rust uses fixed-width integer types. In JS, they are required for bitmask operations (which use BigInt) and for converting back to Number for array indexing.

In the Rust compiler, if the primitive name resolves to empty string, the argument is passed through unchanged:

```lean
| .bigInt => "" | .number => ""  -- no-op in Rust
if rsName == "" then
  if args.length == 1 then argStr else s!"/* coerce */ {argStr}"
```

***

### 8. String-based Calls

```lean
| call (name : String) (args : List Expr)
```

`call` is the general-purpose function invocation form. Unlike `prim`, the function name is a raw string — the compiler passes it through verbatim.

#### When to use `call`

* **Host API methods**: `.call "new Uint8Array" [.lit (.nat 32)]`
* **Method dispatch**: `.call "buf.set" [.var "data", .lit (.nat 0)]`
* **Constructor invocations**: `.call "new TextEncoder().encode" [.var "str"]`
* **Object methods**: `.call "Object.freeze" [.var "obj"]`
* **Low-level crypto calls**: `.call "schnorr.sign" [.var "msg", .var "key", .var "auxRand"]` (when the wrapper body needs to call the underlying noble import)

#### Trust implications

`call` is **not** in the TCB. It's string-based and the compiler does not verify that the named function exists or has the correct signature. Trust comes from:

1. The Lean type checker verifying the DSL program is well-formed
2. The test suite verifying the generated code is correct
3. The refinement proofs verifying that eval and compile agree

***

### 9. Raw Expression Escape Hatch

```lean
| rawExpr (code : String)
```

`rawExpr` injects verbatim code into the output. **This is in the TCB.** Every `rawExpr` is quarantined and the goal is elimination.

#### JS compilation

The code string is emitted unchanged: `compileExpr (.rawExpr code) = code`

#### Rust compilation

JS-specific patterns are translated:

* `0xFFn` → `0xFFu128`
* `0n` → `0u128`
* `1n` → `1u128`

#### Current usage (audit)

| Pattern           | Count | Example                        | Why not `prim`/`call`?             |
| ----------------- | ----- | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| BigInt literals   | \~5   | `rawExpr "0xFFn"`              | JS BigInt syntax, no function call |
| BigInt arithmetic | \~3   | `rawExpr "1n"`                 | Literal, not a function            |
| Property access   | \~10  | `rawExpr "this.leaves.length"` | Property, not a function call      |
| Void IIFEs        | \~5   | `rawExpr "(() => { ... })()"`  | Complex initialization blocks      |

#### Goal

Eliminate all `rawExpr` usage. Each can be replaced by:

* BigInt literals → `prim .bigInt [lit n]`
* Property access → `get (var "this") "leaves"` chained
* Void IIFEs → restructure as `letS` sequences

***

### 10. Module IR

The module IR is backend organizational structure, not part of the semantic core. It wraps expressions and statements into files.

#### FuncDecl — Pure Function

```lean
structure FuncDecl where
  name : String          -- function name
  params : List String   -- parameter names
  isExport : Bool := true
  isAsync : Bool := false
  body : Expr            -- expression body (pure)
```

**Compilation (JS):**

```javascript
export function name(params) {
  return body
}
```

#### EffectFuncDecl — Effect Function

```lean
structure EffectFuncDecl where
  name : String
  params : List String
  isExport : Bool := true
  isAsync : Bool := false
  body : Stmt            -- statement body (can emit effects)
```

**Compilation (JS):**

```javascript
export function name(params) {
  const effects = []
  body
}
```

The `effects` array is automatically created. Statement `emit` calls push to it.

#### MethodDecl — Class Method

```lean
structure MethodDecl where
  name : String
  params : List String
  isAsync : Bool := false
  body : Stmt
```

#### ClassDecl — Class

```lean
structure ClassDecl where
  name : String
  isExport : Bool := true
  constructorParams : List String := []
  constructorBody : Stmt := .ret (.lit .none)
  methods : List MethodDecl := []
```

**Compilation (JS):**

```javascript
export class Name {
  constructor(params) {
    constructorBody
  }

  methodName(params) {
    methodBody
  }
}
```

#### ModuleDecl — File

```lean
structure ModuleDecl where
  name : String
  header : String
  imports : List (List String × String)   -- (names, source)
  constants : List (String × Expr) := []
  classes : List ClassDecl := []
  functions : List FuncDecl := []
  effectFunctions : List EffectFuncDecl := []
```

**Compilation (JS):**

```javascript
/**
 * header
 */

import { names } from 'source'

export const NAME = expr

export function funcName(params) { ... }

export function effectFuncName(params) { ... }

export class ClassName { ... }
```

Sections are joined with `\n\n`. Empty sections are omitted.

### 12. Compilation Rules — Rust

Source: `spec-lean/Enc/DSL/CompileRs.lean`

#### Key differences from JS

| Construct       | JS                                        | Rust                                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| String literal  | `'hello'`                                 | `"hello".to_string()`                              |
| None/null       | `null`                                    | `None`                                             |
| Bytes           | `new Uint8Array([...])`                   | `vec![...]`                                        |
| Record          | `{ k: v }`                                | `json!({ "k": v })`                                |
| Record update   | `{ ...obj, k: v }`                        | `{ let mut r = obj.clone(); r["k"] = v; r }`       |
| Lambda          | `(x) => body`                             | `\|x\| body`                                       |
| Let expression  | `(() => { const x = v; return body; })()` | `{ let x = v; body }`                              |
| If expression   | `(c ? t : e)`                             | `if c { t } else { e }`                            |
| Dispatch        | `switch(s) { ... }`                       | `match s.as_str() { ... }`                         |
| Fold            | `xs.reduce((a,x) => b, init)`             | `xs.iter().fold(init, \|a, x\| b)`                 |
| List concat     | `[...a, ...b]`                            | `{ let mut v = a.clone(); v.extend(b.iter()); v }` |
| String concat   | `(a + b)`                                 | `format!("{}{}", a, b)`                            |
| Equality        | `===`                                     | `==`                                               |
| BigInt coercion | `BigInt(x)` / `Number(x)`                 | (no-op)                                            |

#### Prim → Rust naming convention

All Prim names are converted from camelCase to snake\_case:

| Prim                 | Rust function           |
| -------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `sha256`             | `sha256_hash`           |
| `sha256Hash`         | `sha256_hash`           |
| `sha256Str`          | `sha256_str`            |
| `schnorrSign`        | `schnorr_sign`          |
| `schnorrVerify`      | `schnorr_verify`        |
| `derivePublicKey`    | `derive_public_key`     |
| `computeContentHash` | `compute_content_hash`  |
| `bytesToHex`         | `bytes_to_hex`          |
| `hexToBytes`         | `hex_to_bytes`          |
| `jsonStringify`      | `serde_json::to_string` |
| `bigInt`             | (no-op)                 |
| `number`             | (no-op)                 |

#### rawExpr in Rust

JS-specific patterns are auto-translated:

* `0xFFn` → `0xFFu128` (BigInt → u128)
* `0n` → `0u128`
* `1n` → `1u128`

***

### 13. Evaluator Semantics

Source: `spec-lean/Enc/DSL/Eval.lean`

#### Environment

```lean
def Env := List (String × Val)

def Env.lookup (env : Env) (name : String) : Val
def Env.extend (env : Env) (name : String) (v : Val) : Env
```

The environment is an association list. `lookup` returns `none` for unbound variables. `extend` prepends a binding (shadowing earlier bindings of the same name).

#### eval : Env → Expr → Val

The evaluator is a partial function (Lean `partial def`) that maps expressions to values. It handles:

* `var` → environment lookup
* `lit` → identity
* `lam` / `app` → opaque (returns `none`) — closures exist only at compilation level
* `letE` → evaluate value, extend environment, evaluate body
* `ifE` → evaluate condition, branch (must be bool)
* `record` → evaluate all field values
* `get` → find field in record
* `set` → update or insert field in record
* `list` → evaluate all elements
* `fold` → left-fold over list elements
* `dispatch` → match string tag against cases
* `op` → delegate to `evalOp`
* `prim` / `call` / `rawExpr` → opaque (returns `none`)

#### evalOp : Op → List Val → Val

Evaluates built-in operations on concrete values. Type mismatches return `none`.

**Important semantic differences from backends:**

* `div` and `mod` return `none` on division by zero (JS returns `Infinity` / `NaN`)
* `bnot` returns `a` unchanged (two's complement bitwise NOT is platform-specific; eval doesn't model it)
* `eq` on different-type values: structural comparison via `BEq`

***

### 14. Effect System

#### Effect structure

Effects are records with a `type` field and arbitrary payload:

```
{ type: 'effectType', key₁: value₁, key₂: value₂, ... }
```

#### Effect types (exhaustive taxonomy)

| Effect Type             | Payload                       | Semantics                                   |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `storage.appendEvent`   | `{ event }`                   | Append event to persistent event log        |
| `storage.writeState`    | `{ state }`                   | Persist node state snapshot                 |
| `storage.persistBundle` | `{ bundle }`                  | Persist bundle metadata                     |
| `transport.respond`     | `{ payload, status }`         | Send HTTP response to caller                |
| `transport.broadcast`   | `{ filter, payload }`         | Broadcast to matching WebSocket subscribers |
| `notification.push`     | `{ endpoint, payload, mode }` | Enqueue push notification delivery          |
| `timer.schedule`        | `{ at, kind }`                | Schedule alarm for future processing        |

#### Ordering invariant

Effects are emitted in program order. The host MUST interpret them in array order. Reordering is a protocol violation.

#### State interaction

Statements do not mutate state in place. All state changes flow through `emit`:

1. Kernel computes new state from inputs
2. Kernel emits `storage.writeState` effect with new state
3. Host persists state after receiving the effect
4. Next `step()` call receives the persisted state through its arguments

***

### 15. Trust Surface

| Construct         | Purpose                 | Trusted?          | Count     | Goal          |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------- | --------- | ------------- |
| `prim`            | Pure external primitive | **Yes** — TCB     | 30        | Minimize      |
| `emit`            | Host interaction        | Interpreted       | 7 types   | Formalize     |
| `rawExpr`         | Backend escape hatch    | **Yes** — TCB     | \~23      | **Eliminate** |
| `call`            | String-based dispatch   | No — pass-through | unbounded | N/A           |
| `op`              | Built-in operation      | No — **Verified** | 21        | Proven        |
| `var/lit/lam/...` | Core calculus           | No — **Verified** | 11 forms  | Proven        |

#### TCB (Trusted Computing Base)

What you must trust for correctness:

1. **Lean 4 kernel and standard axioms** — verifies all proofs
2. **@noble cryptographic primitives** — secp256k1, SHA-256, XChaCha20
3. **k256 crate (Rust)** — BIP-340 Schnorr, validated via cross-impl tests
4. **30 `Prim` implementations** — each must be referentially transparent
5. **\~23 `rawExpr` blocks** — verbatim code, goal is elimination
6. **Host runtime** — Cloudflare Workers (V8), Node.js

#### What is NOT in the TCB

* All 21 `op` operations — semantics proven in Lean
* All 11 core expression forms — compilation proven correct
* Module IR assembly — structural correctness verified
* Effect ordering — guaranteed by statement semantics

***

### 16. Standard Library Derivations

These are NOT built-in. They derive from `fold` + `lam`:

```
-- map: transform each element
map(xs, f) = fold(xs, [], λ(acc, x). concatList(acc, [f(x)]))

-- filter: keep elements matching predicate
filter(xs, p) = fold(xs, [], λ(acc, x). if p(x) then concatList(acc, [x]) else acc)

-- find: first matching element
find(xs, p) = fold(xs, none, λ(acc, x). if acc != none then acc else if p(x) then x else none)

-- any: does any element match?
any(xs, p) = fold(xs, false, λ(acc, x). or(acc, p(x)))

-- all: do all elements match?
all(xs, p) = fold(xs, true, λ(acc, x). and(acc, p(x)))

-- sum: numeric reduction
sum(xs) = fold(xs, 0, λ(acc, x). add(acc, x))

-- count via fold
count(xs) = fold(xs, 0, λ(acc, _). add(acc, 1))
```

In practice, protocol modules use `.fold` directly rather than defining these as named functions. The derivations show that `fold` is the only iteration primitive needed.

***

### 17. Termination

**All recursion is through `fold` over finite lists.** No unbounded recursion. No fuel parameter.

For tree algorithms (SMT depth=168, CT depth=variable) that traverse by depth: the depth range is expressed as a fold over a list literal `[0, 1, ..., DEPTH-1]`, or over a proof's sibling list. The accumulator carries the running hash.

Example — SMT verify (sketch):

```lean
.fold (.var "siblings")
  (.var "initialHash")
  "hash" "entry"
  (.letE "sibling" (.get (.var "entry") "hash")
    (.letE "direction" (.get (.var "entry") "direction")
      (.ifE (.op .eq [.var "direction", .lit (.str "left")])
        (.prim .smtNodeHash [.var "sibling", .var "hash"])
        (.prim .smtNodeHash [.var "hash", .var "sibling"]))))
```

No recursion — just a left-fold over a finite list. The list is bounded by tree depth (168 for SMT, log₂(n) for CT).

***

### 18. Proof Inventory

Source: `spec-lean/Enc/DSL/Refinement.lean`

55 refinement theorems, all kernel-checked via `native_decide`.

| Category                   | Count | What's proven                                            |
| -------------------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| RBAC eval                  | 7     | `getState`, `hasTrait`, `isOutsider` on concrete inputs  |
| Lifecycle eval             | 4     | State machine transitions (Active, Paused, Terminated)   |
| Arithmetic eval            | 6     | `add`, `sub`, `mul`, `div`, `div_zero`, `mod`            |
| Bitwise eval               | 5     | `band`, `bor`, `bxor`, `shl`, `shr`                      |
| Comparison + Boolean eval  | 10    | `eq`, `neq`, `lt`, `le`, `and`, `or`, `not`              |
| Binding + Record + Control | 5     | `let`, `record.get`, `record.set`, `if true`, `if false` |
| Fold eval                  | 2     | `sum [1,2,3,4] = 10`, `length via fold = 3`              |
| Compilation                | 13    | `compileExpr` produces expected JS strings               |
| Cross-checks               | 2     | `eval` and `compileExpr` agree on same input             |

#### Proof technique

All theorems use `native_decide` — Lean's kernel evaluates the expression and checks the result. This is sound because:

1. The expression is fully concrete (no free variables)
2. The evaluator is deterministic
3. `native_decide` produces a kernel-checked proof certificate

#### DecidableEq caveat

`Val` uses a `sorry` bridge for `DecidableEq` (derived from `BEq`). This is a technical limitation — Lean can't auto-derive `DecidableEq` for recursive inductives. The `sorry` does not affect theorem soundness because all 55 theorems are computationally verified by `native_decide`, which checks the actual BEq comparison at runtime.

### 20. Worked Examples

#### Example 1: RBAC getState

Extract the state byte (low 8 bits) from a bitmask.

```lean
-- DSL
def getState : Expr := .op .band [.var "bitmask", .rawExpr "0xFFn"]
```

**Eval** (on concrete input):

```lean
eval [] (.op .band [.lit (.nat 0x1FF), .lit (.nat 0xFF)]) = .nat 0xFF
```

**JS output:** `(bitmask & 0xFFn)`

**Rust output:** `(bitmask & 0xFFu128)`

#### Example 2: Domain hash function

SHA-256 with a domain prefix byte.

```lean
def domainHash : Expr :=
  .letE "buf" (.call "new Uint8Array" [.op .add [.lit (.nat 1), .get (.var "data") "length"]])
    (.letE "_" (.call "buf.set" [.list [.var "prefix"], .lit (.nat 0)])
      (.letE "_" (.call "buf.set" [.var "data", .lit (.nat 1)])
        (.prim .sha256 [.var "buf"])))
```

**JS output:**

```javascript
(() => { const buf = new Uint8Array((1 + data.length)); buf.set([prefix], 0); buf.set(data, 1); return sha256(buf); })()
```

**Constructs used:** `letE`, `call`, `op .add`, `get`, `list`, `prim .sha256`, underscore binding convention

#### Example 3: Lifecycle state machine

Dispatch on enclave lifecycle state.

```lean
def isActive : Expr :=
  .dispatch (.var "state")
    [("Active", .lit (.bool true)),
     ("Paused", .op .eq [.var "eventType", .lit (.str "Resume")]),
     ("Terminated", .lit (.bool false))]
    (.lit (.bool false))
```

**JS output:**

```javascript
(() => { switch (state) { case 'Active': return true; case 'Paused': return (eventType === 'Resume'); case 'Terminated': return false; default: return false; } })()
```

**Proven properties:**

```lean
theorem lifecycle_active : eval [] (lifecycle_test "Active" "post") = .bool true
theorem lifecycle_paused_resume : eval [] (lifecycle_test "Paused" "Resume") = .bool true
theorem lifecycle_paused_post : eval [] (lifecycle_test "Paused" "post") = .bool false
theorem lifecycle_terminated : eval [] (lifecycle_test "Terminated" "Resume") = .bool false
```

#### Example 4: Effect function — commit processing

```lean
def handleCommit : EffectFuncDecl := {
  name := "handleCommit"
  params := ["state", "commit", "context"]
  body :=
    .letS "result" (.call "processCommit" [.var "state", .var "commit", .var "context"])
      (.emit "storage.appendEvent" [("event", .get (.var "result") "event")]
        (.emit "storage.writeState" [("state", .get (.var "result") "newState")]
          (.emit "transport.broadcast" [("filter", .lit (.str "*")), ("payload", .get (.var "result") "event")]
            (.ret (.get (.var "result") "event")))))
}
```

**JS output:**

```javascript
export function handleCommit(state, commit, context) {
  const effects = []
  const result = processCommit(state, commit, context)
  effects.push({ type: 'storage.appendEvent', event: result.event })
  effects.push({ type: 'storage.writeState', state: result.newState })
  effects.push({ type: 'transport.broadcast', filter: '*', payload: result.event })
  return result.event
}
```

#### Example 5: Fold — SMT verification

```lean
def verifyProof : Expr :=
  .fold (.var "siblings")
    (.var "leafHash")
    "currentHash" "sibling"
    (.ifE (.get (.var "sibling") "isLeft")
      (.prim .smtNodeHash [.get (.var "sibling") "hash", .var "currentHash"])
      (.prim .smtNodeHash [.var "currentHash", .get (.var "sibling") "hash"]))
```

**JS output:**

```javascript
siblings.reduce((currentHash, sibling) => (sibling.isLeft ? smtNodeHash(sibling.hash, currentHash) : smtNodeHash(currentHash, sibling.hash)), leafHash)
```
