This route and continuum-proxy had drifted into entirely different
protocols. It expected an `auth` handshake the gateway never sends, one
printer per telemetry message where the gateway sends a batch, UUID printer
ids a gateway has no way to know, and camelCase field names against the
gateway's snake_case. It had no way to send a command to a printer at all.
Telemetry was acknowledged and thrown away - the handler said as much.
It now implements schemas/continuum/v1/edge/ via its TypeBox mirror in
@continuum/ts-types, so both ends mirror one written contract instead of
each other's assumptions.
The missing link was identity: a gateway knows its printers as "p1p", this
database knows them as UUIDs, and nothing mapped between them.
printers.gateway_printer_id is that mapping, unique per farm since two
farms may each have a printer called "p1p". An unrecognised id is logged
and skipped rather than inserted - a gateway should not be able to create
printer records by mentioning them, or a typo in someone's printers.toml
becomes a permanent phantom printer.
Telemetry now lands in `printers` as a latest-value snapshot, extending the
pattern status/nozzle_temp_c/bed_temp_c already used: target temperatures,
progress, layers, remaining minutes, job name, active alert count. Also
vendor_state alongside the narrowed status enum, because a state we do not
recognise yet would otherwise be flattened and lost - and an unrecognised
state deliberately leaves status untouched rather than falling back to
"idle", since idle is what the scheduler reads as safe to send work to.
Commands can now go down: sendPrinterCommand() takes our own printer id,
translates it on the way out, and waits for the gateway's result, with a
10s timeout and a registry keyed by farm. Pending commands are failed
immediately when a gateway disconnects rather than making every caller wait
out the timeout for a socket that is already gone. POST /printers/:id/commands
exposes it, validated against the same shared schema the gateway
accepts, so this route cannot offer something no gateway can execute - which
notably means there is still no way to start a print.
tests/edge_protocol.test.ts is the contract test, run against real frames
captured from a live gateway talking to a real P1P and H2C rather than
hand-written examples - hand-written ones agree with whoever wrote them,
which is how this drifted in the first place. The second fixture is the
same capture from before the gateway was taught to omit empty fields, kept
deliberately: the validator must keep accepting explicit nulls.
Not yet applied to a database: this adds columns but no migration, and the
repo has none committed. Run db:generate (or push) before the next deploy.
Redis 7.4+ is RSALv2/SSPL and 8.0+ adds AGPLv3. None of the three works
for a closed-source commercial cloud service, and SSPL section 13
specifically targets offering the software's functionality as a service,
which is what a control plane does. Valkey is BSD-3-Clause, under the
Linux Foundation, forked from Redis 7.2.4.
Deciding this now rather than after step 3 of PLAN.md stands up real
infrastructure makes it free: Valkey speaks the same RESP protocol, so
`ioredis` is untouched and only names change. `REDIS_URL` becomes
`VALKEY_URL`, the exported client becomes `valkey`, and `/health`
reports a `valkey` field.
Two things deliberately do not change, documented in place so they are
not "fixed" later: the `redis://` URL scheme, which names the wire
protocol and is what every client actually parses (none understands
`valkey://`), and `ioredis` itself, which is a RESP client whose name
refers to the protocol's origin and not to the server we run.
docker-compose.yml is new, pinning valkey/valkey:8-alpine alongside
pgvector/pgvector:pg17 - the plain postgres image lacks the extension
`frame_embeddings` needs. It makes the Valkey choice concrete rather
than a note someone has to remember.
Continuum is intended to be sold, so every dependency has to permit
distribution in closed-source commercial software. This package carried
no licence field; `"UNLICENSED"` with `"private": true` is npm's
convention for that. The policy and the dependency audit are in
continuum-common's docs/LICENSES.md.
No `deny.toml` here - there are no cargo dependencies in this repo.
Same bun-types-vs-@types/bun fix as continuum-common. Also fixes a real
noUncheckedIndexedAccess violation in the /health route: db.execute()'s
result is T[], so rows[0] is 'T | undefined', not T — destructuring assumed
it always existed. Verified with a clean 'bunx tsc --noEmit'.
