daemon: anchor catalogue apps to the catalogue publisher pin (companion to app-store#25)#324
Merged
Conversation
Companion to app-store#25 (which repoints VerifyTrustAnchor at the catalogue). The daemon now loads the per-app publisher pins from the release-signed catalogue and feeds them to the app-store supervisor, which confirms each non-sideloaded app's manifest publisher matches its pin before spawning. No static list, no env. - internal/catalogue: fetch + signature-verify (catalogtrust) the catalogue and serve id -> publisher pins; periodic refresh + disk cache so a transient catalogue outage on restart doesn't fail-close every app. Unit-tested (-race): verify gate, tamper/missing-sig rejection, cache fallback, fail-closed. - cmd/daemon: build the provider, wire Config.CataloguePublisher, refresh loop. - cmd/pilotctl: add the `publisher` field to the catalogue entry schema. - catalogue/catalogue.json: pin every app's publisher (cosift, sixtyfour, wallet, smolmachines) and re-sign. - go.mod: bump app-store to the #25 (catalogue-pin) commit. e2e (fresh node, real re-signed catalogue): 4 pins loaded; smol installs, spawns (publisher == pin), boots a microVM (exit 0). Negative: a mismatched pin makes the daemon refuse to spawn ("publisher ... does not match the catalogue pin"). Depends on pilot-protocol/app-store#25; must release together.

Replaces the pre-merge branch pseudo-version with the released v1.0.2 tag (app-store cecb842, the #25 repoint merge), so the dep is immutable and branch-deletion-proof.

Anchor catalogue apps to the catalogue publisher pin
Companion to pilot-protocol/app-store#25 (which repoints
VerifyTrustAnchorat the catalogue). Together they replace the broken per-publisher allow-list with
a real catalogue-anchored trust check — no static list, no
PILOT_TRUSTED_PUBLISHERS.What this adds
internal/catalogue— fetches + signature-verifies the catalogue (samecatalogtrustgate pilotctl uses) and servesid → publisherpins. Periodicrefresh + disk cache so a transient catalogue outage on restart doesn't
fail-close every app; with neither catalogue nor cache, apps fail closed.
cmd/daemon— builds the provider and wiresappstore.Config.CataloguePublisher.cmd/pilotctl—publisherfield on the catalogue entry schema.catalogue/catalogue.json— pins every app (cosift/sixtyfour/wallet/smol),re-signed with the catalogue key.
Tested
internal/catalogueunit tests (-race): verify gate, tampered/missing-sigrejection, cache fallback, fail-closed-when-empty.
smol installs → daemon spawns it (publisher == pin) → microVM
exit 0.(
publisher … does not match the catalogue pin for io.pilot.smolmachines).Release coupling
Bumps
