package main

// Anchoring — binding a networked bastion to ONE host that approves who pairs
// next: every new pairing on an anchored machine needs the anchor host's
// approval.
//
// What an anchor IS: the owner claim (owner.go) with one more field. The box
// key signs "<owner>\n<anchor_host>\n<claimed_at>", and the token that was
// redeemed to make it binds the claim to exactly one host — the anchor host.
// The owner.go header's warning still holds: this is trusted by THIS box, for
// ONE decision (who may pair next), and by nothing and nobody else. A root
// intruder can anchor an unanchored box; the defence is to anchor every
// machine while its owner is the only one who can, and to make every pairing
// state visible on the heartbeat so tampering is at least seen.
//
// What the anchor host holds: its entity_sign key, which this box PINS here on
// first contact (verify_pubkey), the same TOFU the DCN store grants use over
// the same mTLS+bearer lane (dcn.go:48). Every pairing grant, revoke and
// consent record is verified under that pinned key before it changes a state.
//
// The rules this file enforces without a host in the loop:
//   - a NETWORKED box with no anchor serves NOTHING, on every lane. The anchor
//     is what turns default-deny on; before it exists there is no one to ask.
//     Local boxes are exempt — they serve one host and cannot be anchored.
//   - a pending pairing is a FILE. run.go starts nothing for it.
//   - a pairing grant flips pending -> active; caps on it are a ceiling for that
//     host on this machine (opFamily / capsAllow). Deny beats allow.
//   - a revoke flips active -> revoked and the lanes come down at once.
//   - rotation needs root AND the old anchor's signed consent, or the old
//     anchor silent for anchorDeadAfter. Without the second path a lost anchor
//     host bricks the machine's network.

// version still served: harness:run (harness.go),
// session:open (session.go), egress (egress.go), the inference forwards on
// :11434/:18080/:18081 (run.go) and their heartbeat advertisement (agents.go),

// context-prep (contextprep.go). All of them route through capsAllow or
// anchorOnly, so one predicate here closes every one at once.
//
// The reachable path, and why it is not theoretical: `set-mode networked`, host
// A pairs, host B pairs before anyone runs claim-anchor. pairPrecheck only
// writes a pairing PENDING when an anchor exists (pair.go), and state "" reads
// active (config.go), so B comes straight up with full lanes.
//

// Fresh box: redeem the token (a real pairing, active), then sign the anchor
// under the box key. Box with ONE pairing that is the token's host: the token
// is redeemed as a rotation of that pairing (its port, stores and DCN pin
// survive) and it becomes the anchor. Box with a pairing for another host, or
// several pairings: refused — which of them the admin meant is not this
// command's guess to make, and an anchor next to an unapproved active pairing
// would be a hole on day one.
// cmdRepinAnchor re-signs anchor.json for the SAME host under a new host_name.
//
// WHY THIS EXISTS. A host's own name can change under the box — a move of
// the Host address to a new zone does exactly that. `pair
// --replace` updates the PAIRING to the new name but never touches anchor.json
// (writeAnchor is called from claim-anchor alone), so an anchored box goes on
// naming its anchor by the old name and refuses every signed record that names
// the new one (verifySignedTerms: "record names anchor %q, this box's anchor is
// %q"). And --rotate cannot do it: it exists to move the anchor to a DIFFERENT
// host and refuses a same-handle claim outright.
//
// So this is the third case, and it is deliberately the narrowest of the three:
// same owner, same handle, same host — only the DNS name it is reached by
// changes. It cannot move the anchor anywhere. Moving it still means --rotate,
// with the current anchor's consent or its silence.
//
// Walls: root (same as every other anchor write), an existing anchor to re-pin,
// and a live pairing on this box whose handle matches the current anchor's.
// The new name is taken from that pairing, never from an argument — nothing
// here is typed by hand.
//
// The pinned verify key is CARRIED OVER, unlike a fresh or rotated anchor. That
// is the whole difference: a rotation deliberately drops the pin because the
// anchor becomes a different host whose key must be learned again, while here
// the host is the same one it always was and dropping its pin would re-open a
