- Consolidate CLI and adapters to v0.9.14 baseline - Add readiness check script for toolchain verification - Supports Rust 1.82+, wasm-pack 0.13+, Node 22+, pnpm 8+ - Captures bundle size and performance baselines for comparison
Phase 1.1-1.2 complete: Core WASM modules (Rust): - canonicalize_json: RFC 8785 JCS with sorted keys - normalize_url: WHATWG + PEAC normalization rules - normalize_selector: CSS/XPath basic normalization - jcs_sha256: Canonical JSON → SHA-256 → base64url - verify_jws: Ed25519 signature verification ESM TypeScript loader: - Dynamic import for cross-runtime compatibility - Works in Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge - Lazy initialization pattern - Type-safe bindings Build output: - Uncompressed: 324KB - Gzipped: 148.7KB - Target: Deterministic across all runtimes Next: Wire into core/hash.ts, create goldens, run benchmarks
Phase 1.3 complete: Changes: - Update canonicalPolicyHash to use WASM jcsSha256 - Replace Node crypto with cross-runtime WASM implementation - Make canonicalPolicyHash async for WASM initialization - Use WASM normalizeUrl for URL canonicalization - Edge-safe: works in Node, Bun, Deno, CF Workers, Vercel Benefits: - Deterministic across all JavaScript runtimes - No Node.js dependency (edge-compatible) - Consistent with WASM-based receipt verification - Foundation for 10× performance improvement Breaking change: - canonicalPolicyHash is now async - Callers must await the result Next: Create goldens, benchmarks, update callers
Add golden test suites for JCS canonicalization and URL normalization. JCS tests (jcs.test.ts): - RFC 8785 lexicographic key sorting - Nested object and array handling - Unicode, numeric, and null value serialization - Fixed golden hashes for regression detection URL tests (url.test.ts): - Default port removal per RFC 3986 - Fragment removal per PEAC spec - Case normalization (scheme, host) - Query parameter handling - Percent-encoding and IDN support Tests verify deterministic behavior across Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and Vercel Edge runtimes.
Benchmark results show WASM is 0.3-0.7× slower than TS baseline: - canonicalize_json: TS 0.001ms vs WASM 0.003ms (0.33× slower) - normalize_url: TS 0.001ms vs WASM 0.002ms (0.71× slower) - normalize_selector: TS 0.0003ms vs WASM 0.0008ms (0.37× slower) - jcs_sha256: TS 0.002ms vs WASM 0.004ms (0.59× slower) Root cause: String marshalling overhead dominates for sub-millisecond operations. V8 JIT optimization is sufficient for current workload sizes. Decision: Revert to TypeScript implementation for v0.9.15. WASM optimization deferred to v0.9.16+ with batch API and larger workloads. Bundle impact: WASM 148.7KB gz exceeds 20KB target. TS has zero overhead. Benchmark harness supports Node, Bun, Deno, CF Workers for future testing.
After performance benchmarking, WASM is 1.4-3× **slower** than TypeScript for sub-millisecond operations due to string marshalling overhead. Changes: - Reverted packages/core/src/hash.ts to TypeScript implementation - Removed core/src/wasm.ts loader - Archived core/wasm/ to archive/wasm-exploration-v0.9.15/ - Kept benchmarks for future reference Rationale: - V8 JIT optimization is sufficient (0.001-0.002ms operations) - String copying JS↔WASM dominates for small workloads - WASM bundle (148.7KB gz) exceeds 20KB edge target - TypeScript has zero bundle overhead Future: - WASM viable for batch operations (100+ items at once) - Keep full pipeline in WASM to avoid marshalling - Target workloads ≥10ms where WASM advantages materialize This unblocks Phase 2 (universal parser) with proven fast implementation.
Phase 1 WASM exploration complete. Benchmarks show TypeScript faster than WASM for micro-operations due to marshalling overhead. Changes: - Add CI guard: tools/guards/ensure-no-wasm.js - Add package.json: type=module, guard:nowasm script - Update CHANGELOG.md: v0.9.15 performance findings Benchmark results (Node.js v22.18.0, 50K iterations): - canonicalize_json: TS 0.001ms vs WASM 0.003ms (0.33×) - normalize_url: TS 0.001ms vs WASM 0.002ms (0.71×) - jcs_sha256: TS 0.002ms vs WASM 0.004ms (0.47×) Decision: WASM deferred to v0.9.16+ batch API. TypeScript retained for v0.9.15. Phase 2 (Universal Parser) ready to start.
Phase 1 final polish complete. Add CI enforcement to prevent WASM code from re-entering the codebase after v0.9.15 baseline decision. Changes: - CI Lite workflow: Add "No WASM guard" step after dependencies - Nightly workflow: Add "No WASM guard" step after dependencies - Cargo.toml: Update metadata with repository, keywords, archival notice Guard script (tools/guards/ensure-no-wasm.js) enforces: - No Cargo.toml outside archive/ - No wasm-pack in package.json dependencies - No .wasm files in src/ or packages/ Next: Create draft PR, then proceed to Phase 2 Universal Parser.
Phase 2.1 complete: Universal parser dispatcher with P0 parsers. Universal Parser (packages/parsers/universal): - Core UniversalParser class with deny-safe precedence merge - Parser interface with priority-based execution - Default precedence: agent-permissions > aipref > ai.txt > robots.txt > peac.txt > acp P0 Parser Implementations: - AIPrefParser (priority 80): AIPREF policy resolution - AgentPermissionsParser (priority 100): agent-permissions.json - RobotsParser (priority 40): robots.txt with AI hints - AiTxtParser (priority 60): ai.txt (OpenAI/Google variants) - PeacTxtParser (priority 50): peac.txt discovery docs - ACPParser (priority 10): ACP (.well-known/acp.json) Features: - Deny-safe policy merging (any deny overrides allow) - Async parsing with Promise.allSettled for resilience - 3s timeout per parser with AbortSignal - SSRF protection inherited from @peac/pref - Type-safe with strict TypeScript Next: Add golden tests and comprehensive SSRF hardening.
Phase 2.2: SSRF-safe fetch wrapper and parser refactoring. @peac/safe-fetch package: - Centralized SSRF protection for all network operations - Blocks file:, data:, ftp:, gopher:, javascript: schemes - Private IPv4 range blocking (RFC1918 + link-local + loopback) - Private IPv6 range blocking (fc00::/7, fe80::/10, ::1) - Configurable timeouts, redirect limits, body size limits - Environment variable support for discovery settings - Comprehensive unit tests for all blocked ranges Parser refactoring: - All parsers now use safeFetch instead of raw fetch - Consistent 3s timeout with AbortSignal - Unified SSRF policy across agent-permissions, acp, ai-txt, peac-txt - robots.txt and aipref already use @peac/pref SSRF protection Environment variables: - PEAC_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS (default: 3000) - PEAC_DISCOVERY_MAX_REDIRECTS (default: 3) - PEAC_DISCOVERY_MAX_BYTES (default: 262144) - PEAC_DISCOVERY_USER_AGENT (default: peac/0.9.15) Next: Golden tests, precedence validation, core wiring.
- Root packageManager = [email protected] + engines guard - Hard guard via preinstall (tools/guards/ensure-pnpm.js) - CI: fail on yarn.lock/package-lock.json and wrong agents - Replace npx/npm/yarn with pnpm/pnpm dlx in scripts/docs - Add .npmrc for stricter, reproducible installs - Update pnpm-workspace.yaml globs for new packages - Add Development section to README with Corepack setup Rationale: - Deterministic lockfile authority (pnpm-lock.yaml only) - Content-addressable storage for faster CI - Strict workspace linking prevents version drift - Single package manager vocabulary reduces contributor friction All npm/npx/yarn references surveyed and replaced. Hard guards at preinstall and CI level prevent accidental usage.
…readiness Phase 2.3 complete: Core integration and test coverage. Changes: Core integration (packages/core): - New discover.ts with discoverPolicy() and discoverAndEnforce() - Export canonicalizeJson() from hash.ts for policy hashing - Add @peac/parsers-universal dependency - Export new discovery functions from index.ts Test coverage (packages/parsers/universal/tests): - determinism.test.js: 5 tests proving order-independent merging - precedence.test.js: 8 tests validating deny-safe merge rules - Test fixtures for agent-permissions, AIPREF, ai.txt, robots.txt Bridge observability (apps/bridge): - Add universal_parser_loaded check to readiness endpoint - Validates @peac/core exports discoverPolicy function Parser package: - Re-enable build and typecheck scripts (no longer WIP) - Add test script using Node.js test runner Next: CI test jobs, ADR-0004, README, CHANGELOG.
Phase 2.4 complete: Documentation and decision records. Changes: Documentation: - packages/parsers/universal/README.md: Usage, precedence, SSRF, env vars, architecture - docs/decisions/ADR-0004-universal-parser-precedence.md: Deny-safe merge rationale with examples - CHANGELOG.md: Comprehensive v0.9.15 entry (universal parser, PNPM guards, SSRF, performance) ADR-0004 details: - Format priority order (agent-permissions 100 → ACP 10) - Deny-safe merge rules (any deny wins, all allow required) - Determinism guarantees (order independence, canonical JCS) - 4 worked examples with reasoning - Consequences (security-conservative, deterministic, format-agnostic) - Alternatives considered (first-match, unanimous consent, weighted voting) CHANGELOG v0.9.15 sections: - Universal Parser (Phase 2): 6 parsers, SSRF, core integration, tests, ADR-0004 - Build Guardrails: PNPM-only enforcement, CI guards, strict .npmrc - Golden Tests and Benchmarks: WASM exploration archived, TS baseline retained - Security: SSRF CIDR blocking, deny-safe merging Next: CI test jobs for determinism and SSRF validation.
Phase 2 complete: All components shipped. Changes: - Add universal parser test step (determinism + precedence validation) - Add SSRF protection unit test step - Update CI summary to reflect new test coverage Test coverage: - Determinism: 5 tests proving order-independent merging - Precedence: 8 tests validating deny-safe merge rules - SSRF: IPv4/IPv6 CIDR blocking, scheme blocking, timeout handling Phase 2 deliverables complete: ✅ Universal parser with 6 P0 formats ✅ SSRF protection with comprehensive CIDR blocking ✅ Core integration (discoverPolicy, discoverAndEnforce) ✅ Test coverage (determinism, precedence, SSRF) ✅ Bridge readiness check ✅ Documentation (ADR-0004, README) ✅ CHANGELOG v0.9.15 ✅ CI test gates
