Revocable merges (a contradiction-driven undo of identity.merged) ship
in the clusterer work; this reserves the topic up-front so identity.>
subscribers receive it day one without a re-subscribe.
The clusterer worker's ClusterResult fan-out now publishes on
identity.unmerged when populated. The skeleton clusterer never
populates it; the revocable-merge commit will.
Wiki update lives in wiki-checkout/Service-Bus.md (separate repo).
Fourth of the five-step identity-resolution substrate. Constants and
builder ship now; no publishers exist yet — they land with the
clusterer worker. Subscribers (webhook worker, dashboard SSE relay)
can register against identity.> from day one.
* decnet/bus/topics.py — IDENTITY root + IDENTITY_FORMED /
IDENTITY_OBSERVATION_LINKED / IDENTITY_MERGED leaves; identity()
builder mirroring the attacker() / system() helpers. Module
docstring topic-tree updated.
* tests/bus/test_topics.py — assert builder produces the expected
three topic strings + rejects empty event_type.
Wiki Service-Bus.md and a new Identity-Resolution.md page land in the
companion wiki-checkout commit.
Ships the backend half of Config → Workers:
* Worker registry aggregates `system.*.health` + `system.bus.health`
heartbeats into a last-seen dict; OK / STALE / UNKNOWN tiers drop
out of a 90s window (3× the 30s heartbeat interval).
* `GET /api/v1/workers` returns the snapshot plus `bus_connected`
(so the UI can explain "all UNKNOWN" when the bus socket is down)
and a per-row `installed` flag populated from
`systemctl list-unit-files decnet-*.service` (cached 30s).
* `POST /api/v1/workers/{name}/stop` publishes a stop intent on
`system.<name>.control`; workers listen via the shared control
listener in `bus/publish.py`.
* Heartbeat + control listener wired into collector / profiler /
sniffer / prober / mutator worker loops. API self-heartbeats too
so the panel always has one ground-truth row.
* Topic helper `system_control(name)` + tests covering builder
validation, control listener shutdown path, and the API surface
(auth gating, bus-connected field, unknown-name 404).
Adds `StartFailure` / `StartAllResponse` models in anticipation of
the upcoming start endpoints (DEBT-034).
Each successful JARM / HASSH / TCPfp probe fans out an
attacker.fingerprinted event; the probe family goes in event.type so a
single subscription covers all three. Payload carries the attacker IP,
port, and probe-specific hash — enough for the MazeNET live map to
render fingerprint info on observed attackers.
Lifts the thread-safe publisher helper out of the sniffer worker into
decnet/bus/publish.py so the prober (and every future worker with a
to_thread hot path) can reuse it without copy-pasting the
run_coroutine_threadsafe dance. Sniffer rewires onto the shared helper
in passing.
Adds ATTACKER_FINGERPRINTED as a new leaf — distinct from
ATTACKER_OBSERVED (correlator's first-sight signal) because an active
probe result is additional evidence about an already-observed attacker.
Note: the plan's decky.{id}.state realism-probe publish path is
deferred — the current prober fingerprints attackers, not decky
realism. Will revisit when realism probes exist.
Shared publish_safely helper at decnet/bus/publish.py so the nine
workers about to be wired into the bus don't each copy-paste the
"never raise back at the caller" contract. Mutator drops its private
copy and imports the canonical one.
topics.py gains the attacker.* hierarchy (observed, scored,
session.started, session.ended) and a system_health(worker) builder
for per-worker health heartbeats — both prerequisites for the worker
rollout under DEBT-031.
Land the `decnet bus` worker and `get_bus()` factory. Transport is a
host-local UNIX-domain socket (0660, group=decnet); authz is the file
mode. Wire framing is a tiny verb-line + 4-byte-BE length + orjson body.
NATS-style wildcard topics (`*`, `>`). At-most-once, fire-and-forget —
DB stays the source of truth. `FakeBus` / `NullBus` for tests and the
disabled path. Cross-host federation is deferred to a future
`--bridge-tcp` mode; DEBT-030 is master-only and unblocked.
