AGENTS.md — Keysat workspace

Self-hosted, Bitcoin-native software licensing service running as a StartOS 0.4.x package, with four wire-compatible SDKs and a public landing/docs site.

This file holds whole-repo, every-session facts. Subsystem detail lives in scoped guides under docs/guides/ (symlinked to .claude/rules/ so Claude Code auto-loads each when you edit matching files). Before editing a subsystem, read its guide — see the index below.

Stack

• Daemon: Rust 1.88, axum, sqlx + SQLite, Ed25519 signing.
• Wrapper: TypeScript, @start9labs/start-sdk ^1.3.2, @vercel/ncc bundle, Node 22.
• SDKs: TS (npm), Rust (crates.io), Python (PyPI), Go (proxy.golang.org).
• Platform: StartOS 0.4.0.x (LXC under the hood — commands/paths reflect that, not Docker).
• Payment providers: BTCPay Server (required dep); Zaprite (optional, gated by zaprite_payments).

Subsystem guides (read before editing the area)

• Before editing the daemon source, read docs/guides/daemon-architecture.md.
• Before editing payment / provider / merchant-profile code or migrations 0020–0022, read docs/guides/payments.md.
• Before touching self-license or tier-gating code, read docs/guides/licensing-tiers.md.
• Before changing the LIC1 wire format, crypto, or crosscheck fixtures, read docs/guides/crypto-wire-format.md.
• Before building, bumping the version, or editing the StartOS wrapper, read docs/guides/startos-packaging.md.
• Before editing the admin SPA (web/index.html), read docs/guides/admin-ui.md.
• Before editing public site/docs copy, read docs/guides/website-copy.md.
• Before adding/altering tests or relying on lint/CI, read docs/guides/testing.md.

Build / test / run (quick ref)

From licensing-service-startos/: make x86 | make arm | make universal | make install | make clean | npm run check. From licensing-service-startos/licensing-service/: cargo check | cargo build --release | cargo test | cargo test --test <suite> | cargo test <name>. Details, the version-bump-before-build rule, and release scripts: docs/guides/startos-packaging.md. Test suites, the no-CI / formatting-not-enforced status, and known-failing tests: docs/guides/testing.md.

Note: licensing-service-startos/ and each SDK are separate git repos; the root Licensing repo is a workspace backup that tracks docs (AGENTS.md, plans, guides) but not the code. Commit code changes in their own repo.

Conventions (whole-repo)

• Daemon licensed LicenseRef-Keysat-1.0 (custom, source-available); SDKs MIT.
• Commits in imperative mood, body only when the "why" isn't obvious. Sign as Keysat (Grant), not Claude — git user is Keysat.
• Direct push to main + run ~/.keysat/publish.sh is the authorized release flow until launch.
• Never rewrite user-facing copy outside the explicit scope of a request.

Never

• No AI co-authorship on commits or PRs (no "Co-Authored-By", no "Generated with…").
• Don't push --no-verify or bypass hooks unless explicitly authorized.
• Don't commit built artifacts (*.s9pk, keysat-*.s9pk, javascript/) or secrets — reference env-var names; real values live in ~/.keysat/filebrowser.env and /data/keysat-license.txt outside the repo.

Memory references

Operator-specific memories at ~/.claude/projects/-Users-macpro-Projects-licensing-Licensing/memory/ (scan before a major change): keysat_release_workflow.md, no_unauthorized_copy_changes.md, keysat_admin_ui_pill_convention.md, startos_lxc.md, startos_registry_icon_unrenderable.md, keysat_open_threads.md.

Open TODOs

• Extend publish.sh to build + upload aarch64 (arm builds fine; only x86 ships today), or narrow the manifest's arch claim. riscv target unverified.
• StartOS Community Registry submission criteria — Start9 hasn't published the checklist; reach out directly when ready.
• Registry icon doesn't render in the StartOS marketplace (see guides/startos-packaging.md).

Current state (2026-06-12)

• Live: operator's server immense-voyage.local runs daemon 0.2.0:52 (installed from :45; migrations 0020–0022 applied). Registry registry.keysat.xyz still publishes :45 — :52 built/installed but not published. Four SDKs published; keysat.xyz + docs.keysat.xyz deployed.
• :52 = multi-provider/merchant-profile model: data model + backend resolution shipped and audited sound. Deferred (parked): four UIs (buy-page rail picker, product-edit profile picker, per-profile SMTP form, rail-preference editor) and the unlimited_merchant_profiles master-policy entitlement. See docs/guides/payments.md.
• Open bug fix not yet shipped: a purchase-path SQL bug (ambiguous column, broke every paid purchase on :52) is fixed in the working tree but uncommitted, so prod :52 is still broken until a :53 rebuild+reinstall. No live buyers yet, so not urgent. Working tree also has the test compile-fixes, a new query-audit test, the manifest license fix, and an unused-import removal — all uncommitted.
