leetcrypt 7ed23704ea R2: run manifest / provenance writer for reproducible, auditable runs
write_manifest() freezes at circuit-experiment start everything needed to
reproduce and audit a SOR run and writes an immutable
output/sor-runs/<ts>/manifest.json: the R1 --sor-seed, topology/selector/churn
schedule id, one persona fingerprint per participating node, worktree git SHA,
isolated engine kind + image digest, pip/cargo dependency freeze, and
start/stop timestamps. The events.jsonl SHA-256 field is reserved for R3.

Provenance only: no forwarder, no engine spawned. Defense-in-depth to keep
containment load-bearing, the schema refuses to record a non-isolated
("local") engine at run or node level; the binding assertion still lands with
the R4 forwarder.

- cmd_chat/sor/provenance.py: Node/RunManifest, node_fingerprint (bit-for-bit
  mirror of persona.rs::fingerprint_of), git/deps capture, explicit
  dependency-free schema validator.
- hh/src/persona.rs: fingerprint_of known-vector parity test.
- tests: R2 acceptance predicate (manifest present + schema-valid, non-empty
  seed, >=1 fingerprint/node), immutability, containment rejection of local
  engines, and cross-language fingerprint parity.

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).
