Storage Architecture

Current (Phase 1):

  • In-memory stores (EnrollmentStore, RecoveryStore, AnchorStore)
  • Perfect for testing and development
  • Data doesn't persist across restarts

Next (Phase 2):

  • Persistent storage via icn-store (Sled DB)
  • Ceremony state persisted
  • Anchor → DID mapping stored
  • Device registry persistent

🧪 Testing Coverage

Unit Tests (15 total)

Enrollment (3 tests):

  • ✅ Ceremony creation
  • ✅ Steward approval flow
  • ✅ Ceremony rejection

Recovery (7 tests):

  • ✅ Ceremony creation
  • ✅ Approval flow
  • ✅ Rejection flow
  • ✅ Completion
  • ✅ Validation (requires identifier)
  • ✅ Validation (anchor ID accepted)
  • ✅ Validation (VUI hint accepted)

Anchor (5 tests):

  • ✅ Record creation
  • ✅ Key rotation
  • ✅ Multiple rotations
  • ✅ Device addition
  • ✅ Multiple devices

Integration Tests (TODO - Phase 1 continuation)

  • End-to-end enrollment flow
  • End-to-end recovery flow
  • Anchor creation from enrollment
  • Key rotation from recovery

📋 Phase 1 Status

✅ Completed

  • enrollment.rs (456 lines, 3 tests)
  • recovery.rs (432 lines, 7 tests)
  • anchor.rs (431 lines, 5 tests)
  • Routes registered in server.rs
  • All tests passing (37 total)
  • Clean compilation
  • Git commit created

🚧 Remaining (Optional for Phase 1)

  • Persistent storage integration
  • Steward actor integration
  • Integration tests
  • API documentation generation
  • Rate limiting for ceremonies
  • WebSocket ceremony updates

Estimate: 1-2 hours for complete Phase 1

🚀 Quick Start for Next Session

Continue with Pilot UI

cd /home/matt/projects/icn/web/pilot-ui

# Create components directory
mkdir -p components/sdis

# Start building enrollment wizard
cat > components/sdis/EnrollmentWizard.js << 'EOF'
// Enrollment wizard component
// See SDIS_BUILD_PLAN.md for full spec
EOF

Or Add Integration Tests

cd /home/matt/projects/icn/icn

# Create integration test
cat > crates/icn-gateway/tests/sdis_integration.rs << 'EOF'
// SDIS integration tests
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_full_enrollment_flow() {
    // Test complete enrollment ceremony
}
EOF

Or Deploy & Test API

# Redeploy gateway with new endpoints
cd /home/matt/projects/icn/deploy/k8s
make full-deploy-with-ui

# Test enrollment endpoint
curl -X POST http://10.8.30.40:30080/v1/sdis/enrollment/start \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "pathway": {"type": "genesis", "reason": "Testing"},
    "proof_data": {},
    "initial_keybundle": {
      "ed25519_pub": "test_pub",

      "x25519_pub": "test_x25519"
    }
  }'

📚 Documentation Created

  1. SDIS_STEWARD_ROADMAP.md - Complete implementation roadmap
  2. SDIS_BUILD_PLAN.md - Detailed build plan with tasks
  3. SDIS_IMPLEMENTATION_SESSION.md - Session tracking
  4. QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Quick reference for invite system (bonus)

💡 Key Design Decisions

In-Memory Storage (Temporary)

Decision: Use in-memory stores for Phase 1
Rationale: Fast development, easy testing, no DB setup
Future: Will migrate to icn-store for persistence

Public Endpoints

Decision: SDIS endpoints are public (no auth required)
Rationale: Enrollment must work for new users without credentials
Security: Rate limiting and verification via steward network

Separate Stores

Decision: EnrollmentStore, RecoveryStore, AnchorStore are separate
Rationale: Clean separation of concerns, easy to reason about
Future: Could unify into single SDIS store if needed

Testing Endpoints

Decision: Include /approve endpoints for testing
Rationale: Allows integration testing without full steward network
Production: Will be removed and replaced with steward gossip

🎓 Lessons Learned
