leetcrypt 7de0f57fa6 R5: consent-gated recruitment + per-hop X25519 sealed credentials
Add the in-band, signature-gated consent handshake that governs whether a
node may be recruited into a measured SOR circuit, plus a per-recipient
sealed box so a hop credential decrypts only with the host's X25519 key.

- crypto.rs: seal_to_pubkey/open_sealed (ephemeral X25519 -> HKDF-SHA256 ->
  Fernet AEAD), reusing the existing fernet crate (no new symmetric primitive).
- sor/consent.rs: signed ConsentRequest (Ed25519 persona), node_evaluate
  (reject unless the signature verifies), CircuitBuilder that recruits a hop
  only on an accept it can open; parse_sor_frame with never-panic proptests.
- net.rs: {"_sor":...} control frames are live-only and classified out-of-band
  by the SOR layer (parse_sor), never surfaced as chat/app events.
- cmd_chat/sor/consent.py + bridge _sor case: bit-compatible Python mirror;
  the agent only observes/classifies consent frames — it never auto-accepts
  and stands up no forwarder (forwarding is R4, isolated-engine-only).

Acceptance check (roadmap R5) green both languages: host recruits a hop only
after an explicit accept; a reject leaves no entry; the credential opens only
with the host key (third party cannot); unsigned/forged request -> rejected.
Cross-language KDF parity pinned by a shared known-answer vector.
Rust 75 passed; Python SOR suite 37 passed.

hack-house

encrypted collaborative sessions with a summoned sandbox

zero-knowledge server · end-to-end fernet · srp · ratatui

they want you dependent. we want you free.


hack-house is the evolution of cmd-chat: a multi-user, end-to-end-encrypted terminal session where a small crew shares chat, files, and — when summoned — a disposable sandboxed Linux box they drive together, with real Linux permissions and an owner who can delegate the keys.

The server never sees plaintext. Everything — messages, files, terminal output — is relayed as opaque ciphertext. Close the window, the house empties.

status

This is the Rust client (ratatui) for the unchanged Python (Sanic) server. The wire protocol is JSON-over-WebSocket; SRP + HKDF→Fernet are byte-for-byte compatible with the Python srp / cryptography stack.

phase feature state
P0 Rust↔Python SRP / Fernet crypto parity proven (golden vectors + live + cross-lang E2E)
P2 multi-user session (cap 4, infra for more) + authoritative roster done
P1 ratatui UI (chat, roster, themes, help overlay) done
P3 sandbox box (local / docker / multipass) + shared PTY done
P4 permissions (app drive ACL + VM unix users / sudo) done
P5 file + directory transfer into the shared session done

crypto parity — the load-bearing proof

$ hack-house selftest            # offline: Rust SRP ≡ Python srp golden vectors
$ hack-house handshake <ip> <port> <name> --password <pw> --no-tls
  /srp/verify ok — server identity proven (H_AMK ✓)
  round-trip ✓ decrypted: "the house is open"

tools/gen_vectors.py regenerates the golden vectors from the live Python library (must match the server's _ctsrp backend with rfc5054_enable()).

note: the SRP identity is always the fixed room identity b"chat"; the display name is carried only in JSON, never in the SRP proof. The Python srp package's rfc5054_enable() toggles the active backend's flag — vectors must be generated with the same backend the server actually loads (_ctsrp).
