# amduat-api
`amduat-api` builds `amduatd` , a minimal HTTP server over a Unix domain socket that exposes Amduat substrate operations for a **single ASL store root** .
## Build
```sh
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j
```
2026-01-23 23:30:29 +01:00
To build without the embedded UI:
```sh
cmake -S . -B build -DAMDUATD_ENABLE_UI=OFF
```
When the UI is enabled (default), `/v1/ui` serves the same embedded HTML as before.
2025-12-22 15:32:02 +01:00
## Core dependency
This repo vendors the core implementation as a git submodule at `vendor/amduat` .
```sh
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
## Quickstart (local)
Initialize a store:
```sh
./vendor/amduat/build/amduat-asl init --root .amduat-asl
```
2026-01-24 08:44:28 +01:00
Run the daemon (fs backend default):
2025-12-22 15:32:02 +01:00
```sh
./build/amduatd --root .amduat-asl --sock amduatd.sock
```
2026-01-24 08:44:28 +01:00
Run the daemon with the index-backed store:
```sh
./build/amduatd --root .amduat-asl --sock amduatd.sock --store-backend index
```
Note: `/v1/fed/records` requires the index backend.
2026-01-24 10:35:49 +01:00
## Federation (dev)
Federation is opt-in and disabled by default. Enabling federation requires the
index-backed store and explicit flags:
```sh
./build/amduatd --root .amduat-asl --sock amduatd.sock --store-backend index \
--fed-enable --fed-transport unix --fed-unix-sock peer.sock \
--fed-domain-id 1 --fed-registry-ref < registry_ref_hex >
```
Flags:
- `--fed-enable` turns on the coordinator tick loop.
- `--fed-transport stub|unix` selects transport (`stub` by default).
- `--fed-unix-sock PATH` configures the unix transport socket path.
- `--fed-domain-id ID` sets the local domain id.
- `--fed-registry-ref REF` seeds the registry reference (hex ref).
- `--fed-require-space` rejects `/v1/fed/*` requests that do not resolve a space.
`X-Amduat-Space` is honored for `/v1/fed/*` requests the same way as other
endpoints. If `--space` is configured, unix transport requests will include the
same `X-Amduat-Space` header when contacting peers.
2026-01-24 14:03:26 +01:00
### Federation cursors
Federation cursors track deterministic, auditable sync checkpoints per
`(space, peer)` . Cursor heads are stored as ASL pointers that reference CAS
records (`fed/cursor` schema). A peer key should be a stable identifier for the
remote (for example a federation registry domain id rendered as a decimal
string).
Read the current cursor for a peer:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/cursor?peer=domain-2' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo'
```
Write a cursor update (CAS-safe; include `expected_ref` to enforce; omitting it
only succeeds when the cursor is absent):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/cursor?peer=domain-2' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo' \
-d '{"last_logseq":123,"last_record_hash":"< ref > ","expected_ref":"< ref > "}'
```
Cursor values are intended to drive incremental log/index scanning when that
infrastructure is available; the cursor endpoints themselves do not require the
index backend.
### Federation pull plan
You can ask the daemon to compute a read-only plan of which remote records would
be pulled from a peer given the current cursor:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/pull/plan?peer=2& limit=128' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo'
```
The plan does not write artifacts, records, or cursors. It is deterministic and
returns only identifiers (logseq/ref), plus the next cursor candidate if the
plan were applied successfully.
Apply a bounded batch of remote records (advances the cursor only after
success):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/pull?peer=2& limit=128' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo'
```
`/v1/fed/pull` requires the index backend and will not advance the cursor on
partial failure.
2026-01-24 15:49:47 +01:00
### Federation ingest (receiver)
`/v1/fed/ingest` applies a single incoming record (push receiver). The request
is space-scoped via `X-Amduat-Space` and requires federation to be enabled;
otherwise the daemon responds with 503.
For artifact, per, and tgk_edge records, send raw bytes and provide metadata via
query params:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/ingest?record_type=artifact& ref=< ref > ' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo' \
--data-binary 'payload'
```
For tombstones, send a small JSON payload:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST \
'http://localhost/v1/fed/ingest' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo' \
-d '{"record_type":"tombstone","ref":"< ref > "}'
```
Notes:
- Record types: `artifact` , `per` , `tgk_edge` , `tombstone` .
- Size limit: 8 MiB per request.
- Tombstones use deterministic defaults: `scope=0` , `reason_code=0` .
2026-01-24 09:42:02 +01:00
Run the daemon with derivation indexing enabled:
```sh
./build/amduatd --root .amduat-asl --sock amduatd.sock --enable-derivation-index
```
To fail `/v1/pel/run` if the derivation index write fails:
```sh
./build/amduatd --root .amduat-asl --sock amduatd.sock --derivation-index-strict
```
2025-12-22 19:57:22 +01:00
Dev loop (build + restart):
```sh
./scripts/dev-restart.sh
```
2026-01-24 14:03:26 +01:00
## Federation smoke test
Run the end-to-end federation smoke test (starts two local daemons, pulls a
record, and verifies the artifact was replicated):
```sh
./scripts/test_fed_smoke.sh
```
The test requires the index backend and either `curl` with `--unix-socket`
support or the built-in `build/amduatd_http_unix` helper.
2025-12-22 15:32:02 +01:00
Query store meta:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/meta
```
2025-12-22 20:14:47 +01:00
Browser UI (use `socat` to forward the Unix socket):
```sh
socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork,reuseaddr UNIX-CONNECT:amduatd.sock
```
2025-12-22 21:25:06 +01:00
Then open `http://localhost:8080/v1/ui` (concept editor).
2025-12-22 20:14:47 +01:00
2025-12-22 19:37:41 +01:00
Discover the store-backed API contract ref:
2025-12-22 19:51:51 +01:00
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock 'http://localhost/v1/contract?format=ref'
```
Fetch the contract bytes (JSON):
2025-12-22 19:37:41 +01:00
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/contract
```
2025-12-22 15:32:02 +01:00
Upload raw bytes:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST http://localhost/v1/artifacts \
-H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
--data-binary 'hello'
```
Download raw bytes:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/artifacts/< ref >
```
Download artifact framing (`ENC/ASL1-CORE v1`):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock \
'http://localhost/v1/artifacts/< ref > ?format=artifact' --output artifact.bin
```
2025-12-22 19:10:14 +01:00
Run a PEL program from store-backed refs (default `scheme_ref=dag` ):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST http://localhost/v1/pel/run \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"program_ref":"< program_ref > ","input_refs":["< input_ref_0 > "],"params_ref":"< params_ref > "}'
```
2026-01-24 09:42:02 +01:00
When derivation indexing is enabled, successful PEL runs record derivations under
`<root>/index/derivations/by_artifact/` keyed by output refs (plus result/trace/receipt refs).
2025-12-22 20:14:47 +01:00
Define a PEL/PROGRAM-DAG/1 program (store-backed):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST http://localhost/v1/pel/programs \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"nodes":[{"id":1,"op":{"name":"pel.bytes.concat","version":1},"inputs":[{"external":{"input_index":0}},{"external":{"input_index":1}}],"params_hex":""}],"roots":[{"node_id":1,"output_index":0}]}'
```
2025-12-22 21:03:00 +01:00
Create a named concept and publish a ref (so you can use the name instead of hex refs):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST http://localhost/v1/concepts \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"name":"hello","ref":"< program_ref > "}'
```
Publish a new version:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock -X POST http://localhost/v1/concepts/hello/publish \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"ref":"< program_ref_v2 > "}'
```
Resolve the latest ref:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/resolve/hello
```
2025-12-22 21:13:26 +01:00
Inspect concepts:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/concepts
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/concepts/hello
```
2025-12-22 21:25:06 +01:00
Artifact info (length + type tag):
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock 'http://localhost/v1/artifacts/< ref > ?format=info'
```
2026-01-24 10:16:22 +01:00
## Space selection
Requests can select a space via the `X-Amduat-Space` header:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/concepts \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo'
```
Precedence rules:
- `X-Amduat-Space` header (if present)
- daemon `--space` default (if configured)
- unscoped names (no space)
When capability tokens are used, the requested space must match the token's
space (or the token must be unscoped), otherwise the request is rejected.
2026-01-24 10:59:49 +01:00
## Space doctor
Check deterministic invariants for the effective space:
```sh
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/space/doctor
curl --unix-socket amduatd.sock http://localhost/v1/space/doctor \
-H 'X-Amduat-Space: demo'
```
When the daemon uses the `fs` store backend, index-only checks are reported as
`"skipped"` ; the `index` backend runs them.

## Notes
- This is intentionally a local-first surface (Unix socket, no TLS). HTTPS can be added later without changing the semantics.
