Define the spawn-time handoff a job process consumes before any
application code runs: two inherited descriptors named by
SWACTOR_ARENA_FD and SWACTOR_WAKE_FD, and a fixed 48-byte little-endian
header at arena offset 0 naming one control-ring region.
- Canonical header layout, shared parser, and a host writer that leases
the header region and control ring disjointly under the arena's own
placement law, zeroes the ring, stamps its generation, and returns the
handoff (env map, inheritable arena and wake descriptors, host wake
eventfd) only after every write completes.
- Python binding gains swactor.run(main): map the arena read-only, take
ground truth from fstat, validate through the shared parser, arm
FD_CLOEXEC on the wake descriptor, close the arena descriptor after
mapping, and drive main on asyncio with Context.data carrying the
resolved state. Fail-fast BootstrapError before main on any defect.
- Rewrite jobs/tiny_linear_inference.py against the approved path API and
record the slice, invariants, and remaining bridge work in the handoff
doc.
Verified with 12 new data-plane bootstrap guarantee tests (parser defect
table, fuzzed pages, writer round-trip), 29 binding tests across
in-process and exec boundaries, and full data-plane and iroh-driver
suites with no regressions.
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.
Duty mixing between iroh-driver and data-plane is resolved: the transport
crate now owns only byte pumping, and the data-plane owns every edge
semantic.
data-plane:
- ids.rs: single EdgeId/RingId/StreamId/NodeId/RunId/LeaseRequestId/
ActorAddress definitions; arena, edge_lifecycle, and ring re-export them
(previously duplicated per module)
- edge_wire.rs: the whole transport contract — WireEvent, EdgeWriter, and
the EdgeTransport port (associated Writer/PeerAddr types)
- edge_runtime.rs: EdgeRuntime composition engine absorbing iroh-driver's
driver_pumps bookkeeping, the EdgeEstablisher lifecycle drive, arena
leasing, ingress stream buffering with object-record parsing, and ring
writes; effects go through a WorkerPort trait; progress surfaces as
structured Observations the application maps to telemetry/agent messages
- delete superseded test-only layers: actor.rs (DataPlaneNodeActor),
edge_actor.rs, ingress.rs, egress.rs and their guarantee tests
- fold ObjectIdAllocator into object_record (now edge-free, starts at 1)
iroh-driver:
- edge_transport speaks pure data_plane::edge_wire vocabulary; EdgeSendHandle
implements EdgeWriter; IrohDriver implements EdgeTransport (PeerAddr =
EndpointAddr) — the entire edge surface is open_writer + drain_events
- delete driver_pumps.rs; new dependency on data-plane (no cycle)
- IROH_DRIVER_SPEC §5 updated for the new module set and edge boundary
myelin:
- WorkerEdgeRuntime shrinks from ~830 lines of hand glue to an EdgeRuntime
holder plus a tinygrad WorkerPort impl and observation reporting; the
driver-event/edge-event translation layers and newtype re-wrapping are
gone
- orchestration/app.rs and job edge drains consume WireEvent
Tests: data-plane 31 (5 new EdgeRuntime contract tests), iroh-driver 13,
myelin 65 — all green.
Promote the data-plane into its own crate with a swactor-facing DataPlaneNodeActor that owns wire-edge lifecycle, and move the edge/ring/egress/ingress machinery out of mvp-system into crates/data-plane.
- data-plane/src/actor.rs: add the 769-line DataPlaneNodeActor implementing ActorInterface, owning WireEdgeEndpoint provisioning and the EdgeEstablisher lifecycle and draining commands to arena/worker/transport actors (DataPlaneArenaMsg/WorkerMsg/TransportMsg) with DataPlaneReportMsg back to a report sink
- data-plane/src/lib.rs: expand the crate surface to expose actor, arena, edge_actor, edge_lifecycle, egress, and ingress alongside object_record/ring, and reframe it as actor-oriented wire-edge / ring / arena / object-movement contracts
- data-plane: move edge_actor and edge_lifecycle (from node/), egress (from worker/), and ingress (from node_data/) into the crate, and add ArenaSample (serde Record, ARENA_SAMPLE_CHANNEL/INTERVAL) to arena.rs
- data-plane: add DATA_PLANE_ACTOR_SPEC.md and the data_plane_actor_guarantees/edge_lifecycle_guarantees/egress_guarantees tests
- mvp-system/node: add data_plane_bridge.rs wiring the node runtime to the DataPlaneNodeActor, drop the old node_data/arena.rs and node_data/mod.rs (now in data-plane), and remove the arena_manager_guarantees test
- mvp-system: drop node_data from the lib.rs pub surface and repoint node/mod.rs to consume the data-plane crate

- Split arena/ring/object-record into a new data-plane crate and node/plugin contracts
into a provisioning crate.
- Reorganize mvp-system into orchestration, staging, node, chat, and worker modules;
extract binaries into chat/runtime and node/worker_node_runtime.
- Add MVP_SYSTEM_MODULE_BOUNDARY_SPEC.
