Update user and developer documentation for the protocol-8 system: persistent SPKI-derived identities, exact catalog ContentId authority, pinned responder pulls, structured runtime ownership, direct-author Call to Play, and the global local-network sharing switch. Remove active descriptions of repository-wide certificates, pushed deltas, relayed histories, and metadata consensus. Keep operational and UI boundaries aligned with the implementation, including the fail-closed production catalog gate. Test Plan: - `just fmt` (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.
Build / install
Install Rust, Deno, and just first, then bootstrap the project:
just setup
That installs the Tauri CLI with cargo install tauri-cli and installs the
Deno/npm dependencies from crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts.
Run the desktop app in development mode:
just run
Build without bundling:
just build
Create production bundles:
just bundle
Development commands use the checked-in peer-CLI fixture catalog only after its
database and manifests pass the catalog checker. Production bundles never use
that fixture authority: just bundle validates the production game.db and
requires a generated manifest for every catalog game before Tauri packaging can
start. This checkout does not include the canonical production package corpus,
so maintainers must generate and independently check those manifests beside the
production packages before a bundle can succeed.
