A browser cannot signal to a gateway's go2rtc directly. Measured against go2rtc 1.9.14: it sends no Access-Control-Allow-Origin on any response, the SDP POST needs a preflight anyway because application/sdp is not a CORS-safelisted content type, and it checks its API password before CORS - so the preflight, which a browser always sends without credentials, gets a 401. A gateway is behind a workshop NAT besides, so nothing can dial in. So the cloud relays the SDP exchange over the socket the gateway already holds open: webrtc_offer down, webrtc_answer or webrtc_error back up. Signalling only - no video on this socket, and that is the design rather than a limitation of it. Media goes browser-to-gateway through a TURN relay, DTLS-SRTP encrypted, so neither the backend nor the relay can read it. The alternative was tunnelling fMP4 up this socket and streaming it from the API, which would have meant plaintext video through the cloud and - since <video> cannot send an Authorization header - a credential in a URL, the pattern /ws/telemetry rejected. webrtc_error is its own variant rather than an empty answer because the cloud holds a browser's request open on this, and a silent failure there is a viewer watching a video element that never loads.
continuum-schemas
Single source of truth for the Continuum data model. Everything here is JSON Schema, compiled into two consumer packages:
packages/ts-types- hand-written TypeBox schemas undersrc/schemas/used for runtime validation incontinuum-backend's ElysiaJS routes.packages/rust-types- a Rust crate (continuum-rust-types) with hand-written,serde-derived structs forcontinuum-proxyandcontinuum-ai-worker.
Layout
schemas/continuum/v1/ Continuum's own model
ai/ continuum-backend <-> continuum-ai-worker: the
stream:camera_frames work queue and the
channel:print_alerts notification channel
edge/ continuum-backend <-> continuum-proxy: the
/ws/edge/v1 gateway uplink protocol
material/ printer/ domain objects
vendor.schema.json
schemas/bambulab/ Bambu Lab MQTT wire schemas (v1/v2, report + request)
packages/ts-types/ TypeBox schemas (hand-written, mirrors schemas/)
packages/rust-types/ serde structs (hand-written, mirrors schemas/)
The two inter-service protocols - edge/ and ai/ - are here for a
specific reason: each has two independent implementations, one per repo, and
when there was nothing written down between them they drifted completely
while every test passed. /ws/edge/v1 had an auth handshake the gateway
never sent; stream:camera_frames had a producer writing printerId and a
consumer reading printer_id, so every frame was attributed to a printer
called "unknown". Neither failure was visible from either side alone, which
is what a canonical schema plus a contract test on each end is for.
schemas/continuum/v1/*.schema.json is the canonical shape for each
domain object; packages/ts-types/src/schemas/ and
packages/rust-types/src/lib.rs both mirror it by hand. A mirror is added
per schema only once something actually consumes it, so not every file here
has one, and the two inter-service protocols keep their Rust mirror in the
single repo that consumes it rather than in packages/rust-types:
edge/ in continuum-proxy/src/uplink/protocol.rs, ai/ in
continuum-ai-worker/src/task.rs. The set is small and changes slowly,
which is why keeping hand-synced copies in sync is less overhead than a
codegen pipeline (protoc/ts-proto/prost-build) nothing actually
consumed - see git history for the
protobuf version this replaced, and why it was dropped: every service in
this system talks JSON (JSON Schema for the wire, TypeBox/serde for
runtime validation), so protobuf's actual value - a single schema compiled
into a compact binary wire format for both languages - never applied.
Whenever a domain schema changes, update all three by hand: the JSON Schema file, the TypeBox schema, and the Rust struct.
Build / verify
Requires npm install at the repo root, and a Rust toolchain, first.
npm install
npm run build:rust # cargo build, confirms the Rust structs compile
npm run typecheck # tsc -b, confirms the TypeBox schemas compile
There's no build:ts step - the TS side is hand-written, not generated.
