The following block did not need mutable access to the `outbound`
value.
To avoid confusion around mutable access, the call was downgraded to
`get` so that the reader can safely know there is no mutation
happening.
The `struct Epoch` introduced in e404f1038f
inadvertently made `radicle-node` suffer from
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87906
That is, updating of the "current time" was skewed *way more*
than expected by a slowly ticking monotonic clock. Such slow
ticking can be caused by suspending the system.
The test 'test_concurrent_fetches' is broken. It asserts over empty
sets nullifying its utility. Correct the test by changing it so that
sets to be asserted against are cloned.
`fn handle_events` would panic, if there were multiple events for one
token, and the first one that happened to be handled was an error.
Indeed it is concerning if a token is encountered that was never
registered before. However, tokens that were just deregistered must be
tracked.
Using `Vec` here seems a bit costly, in the future,
`smallvec::SmallVec` could be considered.
The "unregister" methods are renamed to "deregister" to better line up
with `mio` vocabulary.
Log statements that helped analysis of the panic that occurred here
are overhauled and improved, requiring a `Debug` bound on types that
obviously implement it.
Make `git2` an *optional* dependency of `radicle-cob`, and refactor
`radicle` to depend on crates that in turn do not depend on `git2`
*non-optionally*
The main offending dependency of `radicle-cob` is `radicle-git-ext`
from the `radicle-git` workspace in repository
(rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) which *non-optionally* depends on
`git2`.
So, to achieve removal of this dependency:
1. The crate is refactored to depend on the new crates
`radicle-git-ref-format` `radicle-git-metadata`, and
`radicle-oid` introduced in the previous commits, instead of
`radicle-git-ext`.
2. Some code from the `radicle-git-ext` crate in the `radicle-git`
workspace in repository (rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) is
copied. See `crates/radicle-cob/src/backend/git/commit.rs`.
This cascades to `radicle` and its dependents.
Firstly, the there is an
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_git_ext::Oid`. This made
it very convenient to just deref to obtain the wrapped `git2::Oid`,
so there are many expressions of the shape `*oid` in `radicle` and
its dependents. However `radicle-oid` does not provide
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_oid::Oid`, as notably,
`Target` is an associated type, and not a type parameter, so an
implementation of `Deref` would tie the new `Oid` too tightly to a
particular implementation.
Instead, work with `impl From<radicle_oid::Oid> for git2::Oid`
(which can be enabled using the feature flag `radicle-oid/git2`).
This explains the changes from `*oid` to `oid.into()` at every
transition to "`git2` land".
Secondly, `radicle` and its dependents are refactored to also depend
on `radicle-git-ref-format` and (much less prominently)
`radicle-git-metadata` instead of `radicle-git-ext`
This is to avoid pulling in `git2` via these dependencies.
Thirdly, as the re-exports in `crates/radicle/src/git.rs` change,
they are at the same time also cleaned up. Notably, the types from
`radicle-git-ref-format` are re-exported under `fmt` only, not "twice".
While overall this obviously is very much a breaking change, these
changes should mostly amount to changing from `Deref` to `Into`, i.e.,
`*oid` → `oid.into()` and rewriting imports for `radicle::fmt`.
This is indicated by the mostly mechanical nature of the changes to
`crates/radicle-{cli,node,remote-helper}`.
The dependencies `netservices`, `io-reactor` and `popol` served us well,
however they do not support Windows and are not actively maintained.
This change removes the aforementioned dependencies (and `libc` along
with them). It reuses the integration with `cyphernet` from
`netservices` for Noise and SOCKS.
The new module `reactor` is a rewrite of `io-reactor` on top of Mio.
Note that no tests were changed.
While it is possible to pass the passphrase via the environment, e.g.
`EnvironmentFile=<path to file that contains "RAD_PASSPHRASE=…">`
this is less secure than passing it via a file, because the environment
is inherited down the process tree.
Thus, allow using a systemd credential. The ID of the credential must be
xyz.radicle.node.passphrase
and is not user-configurable.
Passing the passphrase via file is now possible with
`LoadCredential=xyz.radicle.node.passphrase:<path to file that contains passphrase>`
This requires just a bit of plumbing in `radicle-node`.
Because this mechanism is more secure than using the environment
variable `RAD_PASSPHRASE`, it takes priority. That is, if both the
systemd credential is available, *and* the environment variable
`RAD_PASSPHRASE` is set, the former is preferred.
Heads-up:
1. The contents of the file must be valid UTF-8 (see documentation of
`std::fs::read_to_string`). Assuming that the passphrase is at some
point chosen by the user and typed on a keyboard, this does not
seem like a severe restriction.
2. The contents of the file are not processed otherwise, i.e. line
breaks (notably at the end of the file) are not stripped.
The related `issue/8bd040e9de05e7fc27e373ebc1649ff4ad930e7a` asked for a
very similar feature: Passing the passphrase via a file named by the
value of the of the environment variable `RAD_PASSPHRASE_FILE`.
It was also briefly discussed at
<https://radicle.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/369277-heartwood/topic/.60RAD_PASSPHRASE_FILE.60/with/529104447>.
While it is possible to use systemd credentials via
LoadCredential=xyz.radicle.node.secret:…
ExecStart=radicle-node … --secret "${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/xyz.radicle.node.secret"
Make usage more convenient and directly support passing the secret key
via a systemd credential. The ID of the credential must be
xyz.radicle.node.secret
and is not user-configurable.
A systemd service unit file might contain:
LoadCredential=xyz.radicle.node.secret:…
ExecStart=radicle-node …
This requires just a bit of plumbing in `radicle-node`.
The preference order for the path of the secret key is:
1. The command line argument `--secret`.
2. The systemd credential.
3. The configuration file.
4. The default location to preserve backward compatibility.
The reason to prefer the systemd credential over the configuration file
is that it uses a mechanism that is influenced by the environment of the
process, which is deemed "closer at runtime" or "more dynamic" than a
configuration file. Ad-hoc overrides are still possible via the
commandline argument.
The "seeds" command does only take a repository ID, and
carries the implicit assumption that the namespace with the same public
key as the Node ID of the receiving `radicle-node` process should be
used as reference for determining whether other nodes are in sync,
but no other namespace.
In the spirit of separating user and node identity, relax this, so that
the command also carries the public keys relative to which the sync
status should be computed. This allows to inspect sync status for
arbitrary namespaces via command.
For now, this feature is not exposed to the CLI, but `rad sync status`
always passes the public key of the active profile.
The "announce references" command does only take a repository ID, and
carries the implicit assumption that the namespace with the same public
key as the Node ID of the receiving `radicle-node` process should be
announced, but no other namespace.
In the spirit of separating user and node identity, relax this, so that
the command also carries the public keys for which the announcement
should be made. This allows to announce arbitrary namespaces out of
storage via command.
For now, this feature is not exposed to the CLI, but rather:
- `rad sync` always announce for the public key of the active profile.
- `git-remote-rad` ditto, as it calls the same codepath.
In an effort to reduce the change of version numbers, dependents of
`radicle-node` should not need to know about the modules:
- `control`
- `wire`
- `worker`
These are internal to the `radicle-node` running, and none of its dependents
accessed them.
This resulted in removing two unused type aliases.
On Windows, all attempts to clone repositories failed with
Fetch failed for rad:… from z6Mk…: Access is denied. (os error 5)
The reason is that, other than Unix-like systems, it forbids that
directories that are in use are moved.
To improve the situation, take back control over what is moved and
removed exactly by implementing `cleanup` instead of relying
on `impl Drop for tempfile::TempDir`.
A new type `TempRepository` is introduced to capture a repository that can be
used temporarily, and either cleaned up on failure, or moved on success.
This `TempRepository` can be constructed using `Storage::temporary_repository` –
renamed from `Storage::lock_repository` since it is only creating a temporary
resource and not locking it.
In the future (once Rust 1.89 is a little less cutting edge and more
widely available), we may opt for actual locking via
`std::fs::File::lock`.
Allow the fetch interface to accept anything that implements
`AsRef<Repository>`. This allows flexibility in the types that the `Handle` can
accept.
This change is motivated by wanting to introduce a type that is a temporary
repository that wraps a `Repository`.
With this change, the location of the secret SSH key can be configured
through `${RAD_HOME}/config.json` so that the node key does not have to
be placed under `${RAD_HOME}/keys` anymore.
Further, there is now an option to override `config.json` directly when
executing `radicle-node` via the command line argument
`--secret`.
The primary motivation is more flexible deployments, for example
leveraging external secret management solutions, like
<https://systemd.io/CREDENTIALS/>.
The secret key is fingerprinted by taking the fingerprint of the public
key corresponding to the secret key. This allows to detect when the
secret key changes.
Register a panic handler that logs a backtrace via the `backtrace`
crate, instead of setting `RUST_BACKTRACE`.

Optionally depend on crate `structured-logger`. Allow enabling it via
`--log-logger structured`. For future compatibility, provide
`--log-format` which currently only supports JSON.

Logging initialization was infallible previously, i.e., a logger would
always have to be chosen, falling back to our own logger
implementation in case of failure with setting up journald submission.
This lead to complexity like attempting to log errors from parsing
arguments, as there is a circular dependency.
Change this to make logging initialization fallible. If it fails, exit
non-zero instead of falling back to another logger. This makes the
initialization code slightly simpler.
At the same time, make choosing the logger possible via the command
line and deprecate `--log`.
Note that we still default to journald if detected.
`anyhow` is only used to capture a handful of errors. It also turns out that
usage of `lexopt` was wrong, since it features `parse_with`, which neatly
integrates with `FromStr`. The types, luckily, implement this trait already –
making for cleaner parsing.
For now, the execution errors are all "transparent", which shouldn't be
much of a regression, if at all.
It turns out that failing to read configuration resulted in no output,
because the logger would only be set after configuration had been read.
Fix this, by setting the logger early, with a log level that is then
corrected as soon as configuration is available.
While at it, also clean this up to allow logging errors about failure to
set up the logger.
Adds a test to ensure that canonical reference updates are received on the node
events stream.
Added a helper to `NodeHandle` for perfoming a commit to a reference and signing
the nodes references, to help with this use case.
After a fetch is performed, `set_head` is called, which essentially updates the
default branch based on the canonical reference rule for that branch.
Later, `set_canonical_refs` is called, which originally could be the empty set
of rules. This would mean that the event for the default branch would never be
emitted.
The approach taken here is to always use the default branch rule if there are no
rules set in the identity document. Unfortunately, this ends up in computing the
default branch twice, due to `set_head`.
Another approach is to use the result of `set_head` to update the set of
`UpdatedCanonicalRefs`, to prevent the need for defaulting to the default branch
rule. However, this does not prevent the double counting as soon as the rules
are added to the identity document, since the default branch rule will then be
synthesised into the rule set.
The logging version was verbose, and not required. It also could end up double
processing canonical reference updates since multiple remotes may update the
same reference.
Instead, use `filter_map` to convert all the reference names, stripping
namespaces, and collect them into a `BTreeSet` to ensure uniqueness.
Whenever the node fetches new updates, it checks if canonical references can be
updated. The node has learned how to return these results and emit them as node
events. This is a breaking change since it adds a new variant the `Event` type,
which is not forwards-compatible.
This change was inspired by the a story as old as time:
𝕃𝕖𝕥 𝕦𝕤 𝕞𝕚𝕩 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤 𝕝𝕠𝕘𝕚𝕔 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕀𝕆!
It was motivated by the fact that the canonical quorum logic was spread across
two modules and also two different repositories (in the API sense). The
`radicle-remote-helper` contained special logic for computing the quorum, and
also relied on the logic with `radicle` itself. It would also mix using the
Radicle storage repository and the working copy repository – resulting in issues
where objects could exist in one and not the other.
The change begins by separating away the IO away from any of the business logic
in the `git::canonical` module. To follow along, there are two important submodules:
1. `voting` captures the different type of voting processes for commits and tags
a. Tags are simple, where one `Oid` means one vote
b. Commits are slightly more complicated. They begin with one `Oid` means one
vote, but then it is expected that merge bases are calculated for pairs of
commits. These merge bases are used to increase a vote for an `Oid` if it
is the merge base of another commit.
2. `quorum` builds on top of `voting` and uses the voting processes as well as
the `threshold` to find the quorum for the tag or commit reference.
a. For tags, the first past the threshold wins, but if multiple pass then it
is an error.
b. For commits, the merge base process should be used to increase the votes,
until the caller is ready to find the quorum. At this point, the commits
that pass the `threshold` are then compared to find the commit that is the
child-most commit of all other candidates. If they diverge, then an error
is returned.
There is also a `convergence` module that captures the logic that is required
for the `radicle-remote-helper`. It essentially checks if a candidate object
matches the expected objects, tags or commits, and performs the necessary
convergence logic – checking that the candidate commit is converging with
at least of the other `Did`s.
These two quorum processes, and the convergence process, essentially act as
state machines and can be driven by the use of a Git repository for finding the
merge bases. This is where the `effects` module comes in. The `effects` capture
the necessary traits that are required to drive the state machines of the quorum
processes. It is expected that a Git repository implements these, and in fact, a
`git2::Repository` implementation is provided. The traits are useful, since it
means that a `git2::Repository` can be swapped out and the logic would stay the
same.
This all culminates into the new and improved `Canonical` and
`CanonicalWithConvergence`. Both of which have methods `find_quorum` for
performing the quorum process using a *single* provided repository.
This resulted in the semantic change of requiring that the
`radicle-remote-helper` pushes the candidate commit, irregardless of whether it
will be a fast-forward. For now, this is something that will be accepted while
the UX can be improved in the future by providing detailed warnings of the
divergence and ways to fix it. The benefit is that the tooling will never stop
someone from diverging if that is in fact what they want to do.
Our implementation for the control socket is based on AF_UNIX, and as
the note (which is removed) suggests, we should actually check that the
received socket really is of that domain.
This check was not implemented because it is not exposed via `std`, and
a bit cumbersome to do via `libc`.
I did not realize that `socket2` which neatly sits between `std` and
`libc` in terms of its abstractions and is cross-platform allows us to
do this, and we even already depend on it!
So, add the suggested check.
While at it, refactor the function to return early in cases. Now the
progression from a file descriptor to a socket to a listener is nicely
captured in the types and not obstructed too much by indentation.
Also log at the error level.
What made the issue fixed in the parent commit harder to spot
for me was the multitude of concepts and terms involved in
encoding: What's *serializing* vs. *encoding*? Why is there
this odd `Frame::to_bytes`?
So I decided to clean up a bit. I removed `fn serialize` so that the
logic stays close to the data, and instead of it provide
`fn encode_vec` in `trait Encode` so that we don't add up with
one-offs like `Frame::to_bytes` again.
Also we make use of `encode_vec` in the tests.
As `std::os::unix` is obviously not available on Windows, resort to the
`winpipe` crate, which implements a very similar API for named pipes.
Apart from simple changes to imports, we need to jump through a few
hoops because the `std::io::{Read, Write}` impls are on `&mut` for
`winpipe`, thus yielding different mutability requirements on Unix vs.
Windows.
We resort to cloning, but as this fallible, swallow the added complexity
of a platform-dependent implementation to not risk panics on Unix.
The signals crate does not build on non-Unix-like platforms, such as
Windows. It uses constants for signals that are not exported from
`libc` on Windows, and transitive dependencies such as `sem_safe` fail
to compile.
Resolve this, by guarding most of the crate, certainly all real
features, by `cfg(unix)`.
To require less uses of the `cfg` macro, move all affected parts into a
new module, and re-export it.
The crate now builds on Windows (although it does not do anything
interesting on that platform) and its Unix interface remains unchanged.
Changes are integrated into `radicle-node`, but only affect Windows.
The `fn io_other` disguises all sorts of errors as I/O errors, making
errors in the transport component of `radicle-fetch` harder to
understand.
Instead, expose a new error type that allows to discriminate.
This patch adds the `cob::common::Title` struct, this allows instead of
using `std::str::String` or generics and traits for it, to define more
precisely what a title should be.
It trims the provided string and makes sure it contains no carriage
return or new line characters.
Where a `std::str::String` makes more sense so it's easier to mutate it,
we keep the code as is.

When initializing the `radicle-node` process, see
`radicle-node/src/runtime.rs`, an attempt is made to read from a node
announcement file.
This file is never written, therefore all of these reads fail.
Even though this caching mechanism might make sense or might have made
sense at some point, it is dead code now, and therefore removed.
Also, the fact that the file name was defined in the `radicle` crate is
ugly.
