Stage 3 of the realism migration. Replaces orchestrator/scheduler.py's
hardcoded _FILE_TEMPLATES/_USERS (3 templates emitting epoch-suffixed
filenames like notes-1777315854.txt with identical bodies per
template) with a persona-driven realism engine.
New surface:
- SyntheticFile SQLModel (synthetic_files table, UNIQUE on
decky_uuid+path) — per-(decky, path) state for the future
edit-in-place flow. Pre-v1, no _migrate_* helper.
- BaseRepository methods: record_synthetic_file,
update_synthetic_file, list_synthetic_files,
pick_random_synthetic_file_for_edit (used by stage 3b).
- realism/naming.py: per-content-class filename templates,
persona-conditioned. /var/log/cron.log + logrotate skeleton for
system-class; /home/<persona>/TODO.md, scratch.md, etc. for
user-class. Anti-regression test pins "no 8+ digit decimals in
basenames" (the realism failure today).
- realism/bodies.py: deterministic body templates per content_class.
TODO body uses checkbox markdown, script body has a shebang, cron
body matches syslog cron shape ("CRON[PID]: (user) CMD (...)").
- realism/planner.py: pick(deckies, now, rng) returns a Plan.
Diurnal-gated, weighted user/system content split (70/30 user
bias). Create-only in stage 3; edit branch lands in stage 3b.
Scheduler split:
- scheduler.pick is now traffic-only (sync).
- scheduler.pick_file is async, takes a repo, resolves personas
(Topology.email_personas for topology-source deckies; global
realism.personas_pool otherwise), and maps Plan -> FileAction.
- FileAction gains persona/content_class/mtime fields.
Worker:
- _one_tick rolls 50/50 between traffic and file each tick. After a
successful FileAction plant, _record_synthetic_file persists or
patches the synthetic_files row (catching the unique-constraint
collision on re-plant of the same path).
- SSHDriver._run_file passes action.mtime through to plant_file so
files don't all stamp at wall-clock-now.
Switches _one_tick from list_running_topology_deckies to
list_running_deckies (the union view added in 095500a). Resolves the
permanent "no actionable deckies (running+ssh count=0)" log on hosts
running only unihost MACVLAN / IPVLAN decoys — the orchestrator now
sees fleet_deckies rows alongside MazeNET topology rows and SWARM
DeckyShard rows.
Also fixes the misleading log message: the old "running+ssh count=N"
reported the *pre-filter* total (count of all running deckies, not
the SSH-eligible subset that scheduler.pick actually evaluates). New
line breaks down running, ssh_eligible, and per-source counts so
debugging "why isn't it picking?" no longer requires reading
scheduler internals.
Regression test: orchestrator integration suite now seeds fleet_deckies
rows (not just topology_deckies) and verifies a tick picks them and
records an event with dst="local:fleet-*" — proving the original bug
on the operator's mothership is fixed.
Every 100 ticks, trim per-dst_decky_uuid history down to 10000 rows
(oldest first). Keeps the events table bounded on long-running fleets
without paying the cost on every write.
Adds a new decnet orchestrate worker whose job is to keep the honeypot
ecosystem from looking suspiciously static — a frozen LAN with no
inter-host traffic and no filesystem aging is its own honeypot tell.
MVP scope:
- New OrchestratorEvent table + repo methods (purpose-built sibling
to Log so synthetic events stay separable from attacker-driven ones).
- New orchestrator.{activity,file}.<decky_id> bus topics +
system.orchestrator.health heartbeat.
- SSH-only driver. Traffic action runs python3 inside src container
to TCP-connect dst:22 and read the SSH banner — real on-the-wire
SSH-protocol traffic without shipping creds. File action drops or
refreshes a small file via docker exec on the destination.
- Random scheduler (50/50 traffic/file when >=2 SSH-capable deckies
are running). Diurnal shaping, role-aware pairing, and session-aware
backoff are explicit non-goals for MVP.
- CLI registration, systemd unit (SupplementaryGroups=docker),
worker-registry entry so the dashboard shows orchestrator health.
- 11 tests: scheduler policy, driver argv shape + injection-safety,
end-to-end one-tick integration with FakeBus + SQLite.
