feat(engine): cut a write scope at grant time and publish a downgrade before its wave - #1547
feat(engine): cut a write scope at grant time and publish a downgrade before its wave#1547FSM1 wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
… before its wave A write grant now mints its own write scope: share_scope draws a fresh writeScopeSeed into GranteeScopePlan::write_cut, so no grant blob ever carries the seed the granted subtree is leaving, and cut_granted_write_scope then drives the name wave that moves the subtree onto names only that seed derives. Write invite links ride the same path. The vault root's direct-child-scope index is re-pointed at the moved root, so a later owner action resolves the name the scope sits at. A downgrade rotates the write plane alone, so nothing published the demoted commitment and remint_grants refused it permanently. CutRotator gains publish_cut_set; rotate_on_cut runs it before the wave for any write-only cut, re-sealing the root at its unchanged read seed and epoch. Command::Downgrade is wired through a new CutKind on the shared cut spine. drive_cut advances the durable write-epoch floor to the wave's own new write epoch once the wave lands, so the session can reopen the scope it just moved. Closes #1323.
WalkthroughThe engine now supports write-grant creation, write-scope rotation, downgrade to read, and write-grant revocation. Grant plans carry optional write-cut seeds. Cut publication occurs before write-only waves. Facade and owner-action tests cover permissions, seeds, repoints, and validation. ChangesWrite grants and downgrades
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Write grants are published before their required scope cut, so an interruption can leave a visible but unusable grant without automatic recovery; a lower-level invite path may also accept write plans without performing the cut. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded reliability and correctness risks are fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…d dedup a test helper cut_for_write_grant now refuses a committed set carrying no write row, on the same rule revoke_write_grant follows: the wave would move every name in the scope and hand nobody a seed they did not already hold. The non-atomic tail the write-scope cut runs inside is documented at its home, and published_grant_section folds into its by-name form.
A root the mint just published and the parent's index names cannot be a bad target, so the resolve maps straight through from_resolve_failure rather than carrying a check name the vouched arm never reports.
…ermission owe its cut Review findings folded back. Every write-rotating cut now repoints the vault root's direct-child-scope index from drive_cut, not just the grant path. The wave moves the root and the owner reaches an interior scope through that index under a refused pointer consult, so a downgrade or a revoke left it naming a root the scope had moved off. The floor advance turned that staleness into a permanent Rejected rather than a heal on the next consult, which stranded the revoke control on a demoted grantee. GranteeScopePlan derives the permission from write_cut, so Permission::Write paired with no cut is unrepresentable rather than a leak of the seed that derives every name in the scope the folder is leaving. create_grant and InviteMintPlan drop their free permission parameters. publish_cut_set compares both halves of the cut set, since the wave re-mints from the ledger and refuses one the commitment does not commit; an equal commitment over a divergent ledger otherwise wedged a downgrade for good. It also refuses release-active to republish a root whose own write scope seed does not derive the name it sits at, which is the one shape the publisher would sign under a key that name does not answer to. A write invite link keeps its refusal: its fragment and the owner's recorded tag both bind the pre-wave name that the cut then moves, so it would mint unclaimable and unlocatable. Part of #1548.

Reject write plans in mint_invite_link.
plan.grantee.permission() can return Permission::Write, but this function still seals the fragment before persistence and has no write-cut operation. The facade guard blocks only the normal high-level path. A direct caller can therefore receive a write invite whose fragment and recorded tag do not match the required post-cut scope.
Keep invite links read-only until the write cut runs before fragment encoding, or add an explicit fail-closed rejection for write_cut: Some(_).

Call enumerate_root(&net) before republish
WriteWaveNet::republish rejects an unparked root before publish_moved reaches remint_grants. Without enumeration, the test may pass without checking the commitment mismatch.

The engine gains the two write-plane arms the share dialog already offers: a
write grant with a grant-time write-scope cut, and a downgrade that publishes
its demoted set before the wave reads it. Both refusals become real paths.
Arm 1 — the grant-time write-scope cut
Mechanism.
rotation/reseal.rswrapsseeds.write_scope_seedverbatim intothe grant blob of every
Permission::Writerow. The granted folder inherits theparent scope's
writeScopeSeed, so a write grant minted on the read-grant pathwould hand the grantee the seed that derives every name in the vault's write
scope. That is why the arm refused.
Fix.
share_scopenow takes the permission. For a write share it draws afresh
writeScopeSeedand puts it in the newGranteeScopePlan::write_cut;write_scope_seedkeeps its old meaning — the folder's current seed, which itsresolvable name still derives from, so the mint publishes where the promotion
base is.
mint_grantee_scopeseals the cut seed. After the mint,cut_granted_write_scopere-resolves the minted root, proves its committed setowner-signed through the new
rotation::trigger::cut_for_write_grant, and drivesrotate_on_cut— the name wave that moves the subtree onto names only thegranted scope's own seed derives (blueprint/engine.md "Grant creation").
The permission is derived from
write_cutrather than passed beside it, soPermission::Writewith no cut — which would seal the leaving scope's seed intothe grantee's blob — is unrepresentable rather than refused after the fact.
create_grantandInviteMintPlandrop their free permission parameters.Every wave moves the root, so
drive_cutrepoints the vault root'sdirect-child-scope index for every cut that rotates the write plane, not just
the grant path. The owner reaches an interior scope root through that index
under a refused pointer consult, so a stale entry strands every later owner
action on the scope.
Evidence. Before the cut ran,
a_write_grant_cuts_the_granted_subtree_into_its_own_write_scopefailed at the scope pointer the wave never wrote. Green, it asserts the seed in
the grantee's own blob derives the root the owner-signed re-point vouches for,
and that the root moved off the name the parent's seed derives.
The sharper test is
the_record_a_write_grant_publishes_before_the_wave_withholds_the_vaults_seed.The pre-wave record lingers for ever — the wave retires interior names, never the
root it moved off — and the recipient's tag at that name is the one it commits.
With the mint sealing the inherited seed, that test fails with the interim blob's
seed deriving the vault root's own name: the one regression that hands out
vault-wide write capability, which the moved root cannot show.
a_downgraded_grant_can_still_be_revokedcovers the index. Without the repointit fails with
Err(Seam { message: "descendant record unavailable" })— theowner permanently unable to revoke a grantee they had just demoted.
Arm 2 — the downgrade
Mechanism. A downgrade plans
{read: false, write: true}. The read cascadeis the only step that publishes a caller-supplied committed set, so the demoted
commitment never reached the record.
net/rotation.rsremint_grantsthencompares the record's own set against the authorized one by exact struct
equality and refuses.
WritePublishError::Rejectedis not retryable, so thedowngrade was a permanent refusal.
Fix.
CutRotatorgainspublish_cut_set, androtate_on_cutruns it when acut rotates the write plane alone.
OwnerCutNet::publish_cut_setre-seals thescope root at its unchanged override seed and read epoch (
prev: None,WriteHistory::Carried), carrying the cut set, and publishes. It returns earlywhen the resolved commitment already equals the cut's, so the arm is idempotent
across a retry and free on the grant path, where the mint published the set.
Command::Downgradeis wired through a newCutKindon the shared cut spine.The skip compares both halves of the cut set. The wave re-mints from the
ledger and refuses one the commitment does not commit, so an equal commitment
over a divergent ledger is a record this step still owes a republish — otherwise
a single divergent ledger wedges every later downgrade permanently. The step
also refuses release-active to republish a root whose own write scope seed does
not derive the name it sits at: the publisher derives that record's IPNS signer
from the root's owner-write blob, and the grant mint's interim state is the one
shape where the two disagree.
The refusal survives as the guard for the wrong ordering:
the_wave_refuses_a_downgrade_the_root_never_published_release_activestages aroot committing the tag at write, authorizes the wave with the demoted set, and
pins
Rejectedwith nothing published.Evidence. With the pre-wave publish disabled,
a_downgrade_publishes_the_demoted_commitment_and_moves_the_scopefails withwrite-plane wave failed: ... write-plane publish refused fail-closed— thepermanent refusal this closes. Green, it asserts the published permission at
the moved root, the advanced write epoch, and that the demoted party's blob no
longer conveys a write scope seed.
Write-epoch floor
The wave deliberately does not pre-advance the durable write-epoch floor: a
failed publish must not brick the plane (
WriteEpochLease). Nothing then movedthe floor until a later pointer consult, so the session could not reopen the
scope it had just moved — the owner-write blob binds the new
writeEpochin itsAAD.
drive_cutnow advances the floor to the wave's ownnew_write_epochoncethe wave lands, monotonic-max, exactly as a consult of the pointer that wave
wrote would.
Tests
New, all against the production publisher unless noted:
owner_actions.rs— the write grant cuts the subtree into its own writescope; the record published before the wave withholds the vault's seed; the
cut leaves the parent scope's seed naming nothing granted; a downgraded grant
can still be revoked; the downgrade publishes the demoted commitment and moves
the scope; a write revoke cuts the row and moves the scope off the revokee's
names.
rotation/trigger.rs— the downgrade publishes its set before the wave; arefused publish never reaches the write plane; a two-plane cut owes no pre-wave
publish; the write-grant cut carries the minted set through the write plane and
refuses a set the owner did not sign.
net/rotation.rs— the wave refuses a downgrade the root never published.Local gates:
cargo fmt --all --check,cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings, the full engine suite, the workspace suite, andcargo check -p cipherbox-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown. Noclient-visible type changed:
Command::Grant's permission andCommand::Downgradewere already on the wasm andpackages/clientsurfaces.Not in this change
Write invite links keep their refusal. A link's fragment and the owner's own
RecordedInvite.tagboth bind the scope root name the mint published at, and thewrite-scope cut moves it:
convert_invite_claimcompares the claim's nameagainst the moved commitment and
link_binds_scopere-derives the tag at themoved name, so a write link would mint unclaimable and unlocatable. The fragment
has to be sealed after the cut, which the mint's record-before-publish order does
not admit. Filed as #1548.
A failed cut is not re-drivable. The share pointer is posted before the cut,
inside the non-atomic tail
CreateGrantErroralready documents. A failure leavesa grantee holding a seed that derives nothing — fail-closed, and self-healing on
the next pointer consult once a later attempt cuts — but the grant cannot be
retried, only revoked and re-granted. Filed as #1549.
The share dialog keeps the controls it has. It renders the engine's refusal text
verbatim, so the dialog half of the work stays open.
Closes #1323.
Part of #1430.
