Architecture enforcement:
- Install a repository-owned rustc wrapper for ordinary cargo check,
build, and test commands. Resolve compiler item identities so renamed
imports and helper wrappers cannot hide spawning, timing, blocking,
polling, thread, or runtime-driving capabilities.
- Define the execution-owner crates and reject dependencies from those
substrates back into Myelin policy. Add compile-pass and compile-fail
contracts for actor helpers, execution owners, test waits, forbidden
capabilities, suppression attempts, and owner dependency inversions.
Execution ownership:
- Add engine-owned actor timers with cancellation and generation identity,
then migrate lifecycle deadlines and protocol ticks off application
tasks. Keep networking, process output, telemetry, and blocking provider
calls in their approved I/O substrates.
- Move process spawn, wait, signal, Unix listener, and output-following
mechanics into swactor-process. Isolate Vast.ai blocking HTTP mechanics
behind its adapter while actors retain retry, recovery, and provisioning
decisions.
Myelin control flow:
- Rework manual control, worker lifecycle, provisioning, provider recovery,
job deployment, distribution, edge orchestration, and shutdown as actor
state transitions and typed effects. Preserve durable provider adoption
and command outcomes across graceful and abrupt restarts.
- Replace controller loops and timer-forwarding tasks with actor messages;
leave substrate tasks as cancellable observation streams with no durable
policy state.
Properties and resource ownership:
- Add deterministic engine and component properties, a stateful mock-VastAI
lifecycle model, persisted regression cases, controlled fault injection,
and a bounded nightly workflow covering restart and teardown behavior.
- Terminate reply observers, cancel telemetry collectors, bound dashboard
projections, and release child observers, file descriptors, process
records, and inode-verified Unix sockets on every terminal path.
Verified with the compiler-policy contracts, 105 Myelin library tests, 32
swactor-process tests, telemetry cancellation contracts, randomized
stateful restart cases, cargo check, and formatting checks.
Replace the single-purpose chat runtime with a persistent fleet daemon that provisions, adopts, and controls nodes through the dashboard.
Add distributed job-runner actors and provider-backed deployment so jobs can materialize workspaces, execute remotely, and return outputs over iroh.
Rename `cargo xtask provisioning-reconciler-demo` to `cargo xtask demo`
(CLI dispatch, help, child re-exec argv, launch spec strings, module dir
xtask/src/provisioning_demo -> xtask/src/demo).
Add iteration-1 data-plane edges, established from Fleet Control:
- Fleet Control "edge" button -> POST /control/edge (new
ControlCommand::EstablishEdge) -> supervisor actor resolves the node's
advertised EndpointAddr (stashed in NodeRuntime by AnnounceActor) and
provisions a real outbound EdgeRuntime (arena ring lease, recorder
WorkerPort, EDGE_ALPN send pump) in a new edge pump thread.
- Node gains EDGE_ALPN, an actor bridge decoding EdgeProvision gossip,
and a NodeEdgeAgent that provisions its (single) inbound edge, polls
it, mirrors observations onto the node.edge telemetry channel
(render-only), and answers EdgeAck gossip which terminates the
supervisor's provision retries. Node teardown replaces its inbound on
re-provision; supervisor replaces sessions per node and tears them
down on node exit/replacement/shutdown.
- The edge pump runs on the engine's blocking pool with sole session
ownership (commands in, state mirror + feed lines out): the connect
handshake blocks its thread and must not run on a Tokio worker or
share a lock with the actor. Connects are bounded (10s) so a dead
node faults its session instead of wedging edge polling.
- iroh-driver: retain_telemetry_connections() opts an application out
of the driver-owned TELEMETRY_ALPN ingress so the node's pull server
can drain those connections itself (the actor-bridge pump would
otherwise claim them).
- Dashboard: edges array in the reconciler snapshot, per-node edge
badges and edge button in Fleet Control, node_edges render mirror.
`cargo xtask provisioning-reconciler-demo [--port n] [--nodes n]` boots a
lightweight orchestrator for visual, human-checked E2E confirmation of the
provisioning reconciler: swactor engine + real ClusterDriver + demo
provider, with node children re-exec'ing the same xtask binary in node
role and joining the supervisor over real iroh connections.
- supervisor actor owns driver/provider/shape on a 250ms wall-clock tick,
mirroring the production ClusterReconciler poll semantics; emits
prov.reconciler.events/snapshot plus per-node lifecycle/status streams
- k8s-styled reconciler view: ready/desired header, node stage cards,
commands-out and events-in feeds
- dashboard `demo-control` feature: POST /control/{kill,provision,remove}
+ Fleet Control view; regular builds compile none of it (symbol-verified)
- fleet cards fold proc.<node>.lifecycle and node.status heartbeats into
per-node pid/state pills that stay live
- hardening: exe resolution survives binary replacement by rebuilds,
spawn failures feed back as BootstrapFailed so the reconciler retries
instead of wedging at SshReady, teardown skips exit waits for
never-started children
Verified in-browser: boot 3/3 converged with real joins; dashboard kill
dips and fully recovers with a replacement; provision +1 → 4/4; remove −2
graceful teardown → 2/2; child process count matches reconciler nodes.
Add project licensing and a full README, plus a minimal WebAssembly ping-pong example that exercises the actor runtime.
- `LICENSE`: add the full GNU AGPL-3.0 text and set `license = "AGPL-3.0-only"` on every package (`swactor`, each crate, `apps/myelin`, `tools/vastai`, `xtask`)
- `README.md`: rewrite from a stub into a full project overview, covering features (actor_id routing, WASM, iroh QUIC/SWIM, OTP-style std, process manager, zero-copy objects, datastream metrics, dashboard), architecture, examples, developing, status, and license
- `examples/ping-pong`: new standalone workspace (`pingpong` cdylib) where two actors volley on a single-threaded `wasm` runtime driven by a Node host via `tick()`, demonstrating spawning, message passing, and death monitoring (`watching`)
- `examples/ping-pong`: add a host/run harness -- `run.sh` (wasm-pack build + `run.mjs`), `serve.sh` (dashboard + static demo), `index.html`, and a pinned `Cargo.lock`
- `.gitignore`: stop ignoring `.loop/`, `.deployment-notes/`, and `.omp/`

Turn mvp-chat-check into a benchmarking harness with per-stage latency capture, a run envelope, summary artifacts, and a mvp-chat-compare command for delta analysis.
- xtask: add mvp-chat-compare <baseline> <candidate> that checks comparability (schema/scenario/workload/model/provider/pipeline_stages) and prints deltas for total, prepare, standup-to-RPC, and per-prompt roundtrip/first-token/decode/text-decode ms.
- xtask: build_benchmark_summary now writes stdout/stderr/prompts/redacted-config/summary artifacts with per-artifact byte counts and a vastai summary section; rename the dump log to datastream.ndjson.
- xtask: add write_failure_artifacts so failed checks still emit a failure summary with the prompt-corpus blake3 and artifact sizes.
- mvp_chat: add the mvp.chat.benchmark channel and emit_benchmark_envelope (BenchmarkRunEnvelope with model/runtime/provider/workload detail), and tag prompt events with prompt_index and a blake3 prompt_hash.
- tinygrad_worker: add per-phase latency metrics (encode/decode/text-decode/first-token elapsed_ms; stage_execution_ms/record_write_ms on execute_step; ring_readable/encode_prompt/decode_tokens elapsed_ms plus payload sizes).
- vastai_provisioning: emit VastAiLeaseReady and VastAiSshEndpointReady provider lines (contract/offer/host/gpu/dph, ssh host/port/user) for observability.

Remove co-dependencies for different modules found in `crates` and migrate the development history to a new repository. The docs were stale, and largely not getting used, so simply deleted for now. When code stabilizes more, they will become useful again.

Introduce a gossip-converged pooled datastore protocol layered on SWIM piggybacking, backed by a reusable gossip-channel abstraction, plus a Docker-free multi-process cluster test runner.
- crates/distribution/src/gossip_channel.rs: add the GossipChannel trait (piggyback on SWIM messages) and a budget-limited DisseminationBuffer<T> that replaces the four duplicated Lambda*ceil(log2(n)) dissemination copies
- crates/datastore/src/pool: add PoolDisseminator (CRDT state for membership/capacity/content-location/ACL with join/leave/announce) and PoolCoordinator (placement-aware CRUD actor delegating to the co-located DatastoreNode)
- crates/shared-types/src/pool.rs: add shared pool protocol types (PoolId plus member/capacity/content-location/ACL entries and PoolConfig) consumed by both distribution and datastore
- crates/dashboard/src/pool_html.rs: add a live pool dashboard page (membership, capacity, content locations) and add pool_tests integration coverage
- xtask/src/sim_cluster.rs: add the sim-cluster runner that spawns N swactor nodes over iroh through a local relay server, reusing the docker cluster scenarios without Docker
- crates/distribution/src/iroh_driver.rs: add relay-URL resolution (cache, then SWIM gossip, then home relay) with a 2s connect timeout to back the relay-based connections
