Integrate namespace and source-route lifecycle changes, contextual process cleanup, Python binding updates, and Myelin worker/orchestrator recovery. Keep the shared control contracts, deployment identity fencing, SSH bootstrap adapters, paid admission accounting, and VastAI cleanup implementation together with their consumers.
Migrate Iroh dependencies and telemetry transport/collection with dashboard and demo callsites, workspace build configuration, and actor-control-flow policy updates. This is an intermediate development checkpoint, not paid-provider qualification.
Review verification: contextual_process_guarantees (4 tests), telemetry_transport (4 tests), and shared control contracts (5 tests) passed. Historical five-node redeployment and campaign execution passed individually; complete ordered qualification remains pending.
Install SIGINT and SIGTERM handlers synchronously before publishing process readiness. Propagate registration failures through Myelin and demo startup instead of silently leaving the default signal action active.
Rate-limit actor census and activity telemetry while preserving immediate lifecycle transitions. Route managed-process output into Fleet node tails, bound explorer retention, aggregate SWIM probes, and make sampler health transition-based. Restore stable explorer synchronization and refine Fleet bulk controls.
Add durable namespace control, Iroh-backed source transfer, session-independent publication lifetime, and wire managed Myelin jobs and bindings through the reusable data-plane API.
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.
Add actor-backed manual node provisioning, control-plane endpoints, and fleet UI assets with durable provider lifecycle handling.
Simplify Myelin orchestration, node runtime, staging, and telemetry paths while removing obsolete engine-builder, dashboard-view, and local-mock implementations.
Align runtime delivery, data-plane, distribution, job-runner, process, telemetry, dashboard, Vast.ai integrations, and their tests with the revised actor and transport contracts.
The crate is the per-node metrics/logging pipe with a universal
subscriber endpoint, but "datastream" kept getting misread as a general
messaging plane. Rename crate, module paths, and public API
(`DatastreamEndpoint` → `TelemetryEndpoint`, etc.) so misuse is visible
on sight.
Renamed contracts (all in-repo producers/consumers migrated):
- env vars `MYELIN_DATASTREAM_*` → `MYELIN_TELEMETRY_*`
- artifact `datastream.ndjson` → `telemetry.ndjson`
- actor names `telemetry-publisher` / `telemetry-sink`
- wire ALPN `swactor/telemetry/0`
- `DATASTREAM_SPEC.md` → `TELEMETRY_SPEC.md`
Also fixes two latent test breaks: `process` and `iroh-driver` tests
imported `DatastreamEvent` from the crate root, which was never
re-exported; they now use the observer path `telemetry::frame::`.
Replace the driver/session/action/event abstraction with a single OS-process supervisor thread and a minimal lifecycle-only public API.
- supervisor: add a dedicated swactor-process-supervisor thread that owns the child, runs it with null stdio, wakes via an eventfd plus poll(2), reaps with waitpid(WNOHANG), and escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL after a deadline, reporting only lifecycle ThreadEvents over a SegQueue plus wake channel
- actor: collapse ProcessActor<D> into a non-generic state machine (Spawning/Running/Stopping/Done) that owns the supervisor handle, drains events on SupervisorWake, forwards lifecycle as ProcessOutput, and triggers shutdown_now in on_stop
- lifecycle: add ProcessOutputConfig (Disabled/DatastreamMirror) with a JSON proc.<label>.lifecycle mirror (schema swactor_process.lifecycle.v1), command-basename label derivation/sanitization, and an RAII reservation registry preventing duplicate channels
- message/types/spawn/lib: trim the API — ProcessCommand is now only Stop { kill_after }, ProcessOutput covers Started/SpawnFailed/Exited/Error, ProcessSpec keeps command/args/env/working_dir/label; re-export spawn_local_process/send_process_command and drop the custom-driver spawn_process
- removed: delete the action/event/local/mock/session modules and the ProcessDriver/ProcessWaker/EventQueue/PtySize/ProcessMode types plus the old test suite (actor_scenarios, e2e_process, local_driver, proptest_session, session_scenarios); add public_api_stage1/2 tests and the SWACTOR_MANAGED_PROCESS_SPEC.md
- swactor core: demote ProcessOutputObserver to a legacy/custom adapter (no longer auto-attached), remove Runtime::set_process_output_observer and Ctx::process_output_observer, and add the datastream dependency to the process crate for the mirror

Move iroh_driver and the relay binary out of distribution into a dedicated
crates/iroh-driver (lib re-exports IrohDriver; relay bin renamed). Remove the node crate
and the single-gpu-inference example; drop the docker/datastream demo. Slim
pipeline-parallel vastai.

Promote pipeline-parallel-inference to a first-class app and consolidate observability on the datastream wire, decoupling the dashboard crate from `distribution`.
- apps/pipeline-parallel-inference: move the example out of `examples/` into `apps/` as its own workspace, rename binaries to `pp-worker`/`pp-orchestrator`, and strip release binaries
- cluster: add `ClusterNode`, a synchronous facade over the actorized distribution protocol (IrohDriver + per-node Runtime hosting Swim/Registry/Metadata/Directory actors with a `MembershipFanout`), replacing ad-hoc `driver.node()`/`tick()` call sites
- fleet: add per-node fleet telemetry that ships identity/resource records as `DatastreamFrame`s over the cluster transport to the orchestrator's `DatastreamSink`, folded into a `FleetView` on a 3s tick
- provision: add best-effort, opt-in SSH boot-phase telemetry (`PP_DEPLOY_KEY`) that streams rented-node boot logs onto the orchestrator's datastream as `proc.boot.<stage>.*`
- dashboard: rewire the crate dependency from `distribution` to `datastream`, drop the standalone `swactor-datastream-dashboard` binary, and rewrite `datastream_source.rs` to demux per-node frames into Overview/Distribution/Fleet views with live-node TTL filtering
- distribution: refresh dist/netmap plugin copy and README from "Kademlia routing" to gossip-directory terminology

Remove the unused TCP transport and dead CLI/simulation scaffolding and collapse scattered single-purpose modules into consolidated files across the dashboard, process, and simulation crates.
- crates/transport: drop the TCP transport (src/tcp.rs and its tcp feature), leaving only ed25519 identity and encoding utilities behind the iroh transport
- crates/dashboard: collapse actor_detail_html/actors_html/dashboard_html/topology_html into a single html.rs, drop command/parse.rs, and inline the trace types into lib.rs
- crates/process: fold driver, pipeline_types, queue, subscriber, waker, and local pipes/signal/wait into local/mod.rs, pipeline.rs, and a unified types.rs, consolidating the public re-exports
- crates/simulation: remove the ci subdirectory (local_sim, sim) and dead node/config/trace modules, and flatten the distribution subdirectory into top-level files
- crates/datastore: remove the unused store_cli, cli, and in-memory storage, and deduplicate crypto.rs across datastore and distribution (about 190 lines of shared code removed)
- crates/distribution: drop dead codec code and trim the messages module

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.
