ddidderr a977585f6d fix(catalog): preflight package versions
Full catalog generation previously prepared each game sequentially, so a
version mismatch late in the catalog could surface only after earlier packages
had already been extracted and hashed. Validate every selected version.ini
against game.db before starting manifest preparation, while retaining the
per-package validation during preparation to detect later input changes.

Document the ordering and cover it with a regression where an earlier archive
would fail if archive processing began before a later version mismatch.

Test Plan:
- `just fmt` -- passed
- `just test` -- passed
- `just clippy` -- passed
- `git diff --cached --check` -- passed

# lanspread
Peer-to-peer game library sharing for LAN parties. Peers discover each other on
the local network via mDNS, exchange library metadata over QUIC, and let users
browse and download games from each other. Ships as a Tauri desktop app.
## Peer identity and protocol status
Each desktop installation creates and reuses one Ed25519 identity in its Tauri
app-data directory. Its `PeerId` is lowercase unpadded RFC 4648 base32 of BLAKE3
over the certificate's complete canonical DER SubjectPublicKeyInfo; certificates
and private keys are never distributed from the repository. Outbound QUIC
connections authenticate the responder against the exact expected `PeerId`. Wire
protocol 8 (`lanspread/8`) is the only supported protocol. Peers exchange
responder-owned, revisioned snapshots over identity-pinned endpoints; file and
streamed-install requests name the catalog's exact `ContentId`. There are no
legacy wire fallbacks or repository-shared identity keys.
## First-time setup
Install Rust, Deno, and `just` first, then bootstrap the project:
```bash
just setup
```
That installs the Tauri CLI and the locked frontend dependencies. All routine
repository work should go through `just`; the recipes carry the catalog mode and
Tauri resource configuration needed to keep fixture authority out of production
builds.
## Daily development
Run the desktop app with the checked-in development catalog:
```bash
just run
```
Build without bundling:
```bash
just build
```
Run the standard checks before committing:
```bash
just fmt
just clippy
just test
just frontend-test
```
`just run` and `just build` first check the default development catalog. The
workspace Rust commands explicitly opt into that exact fixture resource map so
Tauri's build script does not mistake test data for production authority.
## Catalog checksums and production manifests
Lanspread does not trust file descriptions received from peers. The release
catalog contains the expected bytes for each game version. The catalog publisher
derives that authority from the canonical game packages and writes:
- one `<game_id>.json` manifest containing every ordinary file's size, full-file
BLAKE3, and BLAKE3 for each 128 MiB transfer chunk;
- BLAKE3 and size for every file obtained by extracting the root-level `.eti`
archives, which authorizes Stream Install output; and
- `catalog-content-index-v1.jsonl`, which binds every catalog game/version to
its complete manifest `ContentId` and Stream Install capability.
The `ContentId` is a digest of the canonical manifest transcript, not merely a
hash of one archive. Never calculate or edit these values by hand.
### Prepare the package tree
Place the canonical packages under one directory, with each direct child named
exactly like the `game_id` in the production `game.db`:
```text
/srv/lanspread/packages/
├── alienswarm/
│ ├── version.ini
│ ├── alienswarm.eti
│ └── ...
├── bf1942/
│ ├── version.ini
│ ├── bf1942.eti
│ └── ...
└── ...
```
Each `version.ini` must match that game's `game_version` in `game.db`. Package
entries must be regular files/directories with canonical portable names; links,
reparse points, special files, aliases, unsafe archive output, or changing bytes
make generation fail closed.
The default publisher uses the checked-in Linux `unrar` sidecar. Select another
trusted executable when generating on a different supported host:
```bash
LANSPREAD_UNRAR=/absolute/path/to/unrar \
just catalog-generate-production /srv/lanspread/packages
```
### Generate and verify all checksums
Generate the complete production manifest set:
```bash
just catalog-generate-production /srv/lanspread/packages
```
The publisher first checks every selected package's `version.ini` against
`game.db`, then independently reads and hashes each selected package twice
before publication. Under a durable publication marker, it atomically replaces
each manifest and writes the complete content index last. Interruption leaves
the marker in place so later checks and builds fail closed instead of accepting
a mixed generation.
Verify the published database/index/manifest set without rereading the package
corpus:
```bash
just catalog-check-production
```
This is a packaging integrity check, not a substitute for retaining the
canonical packages and the successful generation log as provenance. The output
prints the `game_id`, `game_version`, and `content_id` for every checked game.
### Regenerate one changed game
After a complete manifest set exists, update one game without rehashing every
package:
```bash
just catalog-generate-production-game /srv/lanspread/packages alienswarm
just catalog-check-production
```
Incremental generation refuses to bootstrap a partial catalog. Under its durable
publication marker it revalidates every unselected manifest/index identity,
rebuilds the complete index, and then publishes the selected game. Use the full
generation command for a new catalog or any intentionally broad catalog change.
### Build a production bundle
Only after the production check succeeds, create the installer/bundle:
```bash
just bundle
```
`just bundle` repeats the production catalog gate before Tauri packaging. It
never falls back to fixture manifests. This checkout does not include the
canonical 186-game package corpus, so the command intentionally fails until that
external corpus has been processed into
`crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src-tauri/manifests/`.
## Fixture catalogs and peer-CLI acceptance
The committed fixture profiles are test authority only:
```bash
just fixture-catalog-check # default GUI/CLI profile
just fixture-catalogs-check # default + solid + multi + unknown profiles
just fixture-catalogs # explicitly regenerate all committed profiles
```
The solid, multi-archive, and unknown-game profiles intentionally describe
different package bytes, so the peer-CLI matrix checks all of them before
building its Docker image. Normal GUI development needs only the default
profile.
Build or run the JSONL peer harness:
```bash
just peer-cli-build
just peer-cli-image
just peer-cli-tests S1 S2 S3
just peer-cli-run alpha
```
Run the entire S1-S49 acceptance matrix by omitting scenario arguments:
```bash
just peer-cli-tests
```
For an interactive three-peer session, start these in separate terminals:
```bash
just peer-cli-alpha
just peer-cli-bravo
just peer-cli-charlie
```
