+# Instance-socket consumers (issue #103) — design
+
+Date: 2026-08-08. From issue #103: on the tito box, titogo's router (running
+as user `titogo`) proxies root-domain surfaces onward to platform-provisioned
+instances' unix sockets (`/run/carlos/<host>.sock`) and got
+`connect: permission denied` the moment a reconciler-provisioned instance
+woke. Two layers blocked the cross-user dial: `/run/carlos` is
+`0750 carlos:carlos` with no story for enrolling a consumer, and the socket's
+mode is whatever the app's umask/chmod habits produce (titogo bound 0600).
+The interim (`usermod -aG carlos titogo` + hand-chmod per wake) works but
+doesn't survive a rebind — and the failure is a buyer-facing 502 on an
+otherwise healthy instance. Autonomous-session design: the issue offered two
+directions and left the choice to the platform; both halves below were chosen
+inline, with the trade-offs recorded.
+
+## Decision 1: a dedicated `carlos-sockets` group, never group `carlos`
+
+The tito interim enrolled the consumer into group `carlos`. That works for
+traversal, but group `carlos` is also the group on `/data` (`0750
+carlos:carlos`) — membership grants group-read of every instance database and
+every `<host>.env`, including each instance's `CARLOS_ADMIN_TOKEN`. A grant
+whose meaning is "may dial instance sockets" must not silently carry "may
+read every instance's secrets".
+
+So the blessed consumers group is a dedicated system group,
+**`carlos-sockets`**:
+
+- `carlos bootstrap` creates it (`groupadd --system`, idempotent, live root
+ only — a staging root prints the command, same as `useradd`).
+- `/run/carlos` becomes **`2750 carlos carlos-sockets`** — group changed to
+ the consumers group (members get `r-x`: traversal to the sockets), setgid
+ bit added so **every socket bound inside inherits the group**. That
+ inheritance is what makes the mode contract (decision 2) sufficient: the
+ agent never needs to chgrp anything, and no app needs to know the group
+ exists. Both the tmpfiles.d entry and bootstrap's own dir handling change
+ together (they are the same truth in two places).
+- `/run/carlos/apps` stays **`0750 carlos carlos`**. Unit tenants get their
+ listener fd passed by systemd (`SocketUser=carlos`, 0600) and never need
+ path access — and consumer enrollment deliberately does not reach them.
+ A `carlos-sockets` member can traverse `/run/carlos` but not `apps/`.
+
+**Enrollment** is bootstrap's job, per the issue's ask: a repeatable
+`-socket-consumer <user>` flag runs `usermod -aG carlos-sockets <user>` on a
+live root (printed under a staging root). Idempotent — `usermod -aG` on an
+existing member is a no-op, so re-running bootstrap with the same flags
+converges. Consumer users are validated (`user.Lookup`) before any mutation:
+a typo leaves the box untouched rather than aborting bootstrap halfway.
+
+**Boot-ordering safety** (review finding, empirically verified):
+systemd-tmpfiles *drops* a line whose group doesn't resolve, and
+`carlos-edge.service` has `ReadWritePaths=/run/carlos` with no `-` prefix —
+so a tmpfiles line naming a group that doesn't exist yet turns the next
+reboot into a permanent edge-start failure. Two mechanisms close this:
+on a live root the privileged plan (including `groupadd`) runs *before* the
+tmpfiles conf is written, and bootstrap also ships
+`/etc/sysusers.d/carlos.conf` (`g carlos-sockets -`) —
+`systemd-sysusers.service` is ordered `Before=systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service`,
+so the group exists at boot even when the conf arrived via a staged-tree
+unit refresh that never ran a live bootstrap.
+
+**Re-run convergence** (review finding): every chown in the privileged plan
+converges *toward* the target state — `/run/carlos` is recursively
+`carlos:carlos-sockets` (so a re-run, the documented enrollment path, also
+converges live instance sockets' group instead of resetting it and
+stranding already-enrolled consumers), with `apps/` put back to
+`carlos:carlos` right after.
+
+**Scope of the grant, stated plainly:** membership in `carlos-sockets` is
+box-wide — a member may dial *every* exec-backed instance socket on the box.
+That is the intended semantic (the consumer is the deployment's own trusted
+host app, e.g. titogo's router), not a per-instance ACL; a deployment that
+needs per-instance isolation between consumers needs a different mechanism
+and should say so in an issue.
+
+## Decision 2: the agent normalizes the socket mode — the app contract is a
+guarantee, not a chore
+
+The issue's two options were "write 0660 into the app contract" or "the
+agent normalizes the mode after health". Docs-only loses to enforcement:
+the failure case that motivated this issue *was* an app's own chmod habit,
+and the exec'd child inherits the agent's umask either way — a contract no
+mechanism enforces is rediscovered per deployment, which is exactly the
+state #103 asks us out of.
+
+So: **`ExecBackend.Start` chmods the instance socket to `0660` immediately
+after the health wait succeeds.** Properties that make this the right spot:
+
+- It runs only on a socket the activator's own child bound — enforced, not
+ assumed: the health wait tolerates a squatter (it only dials), so `Start`
+ skips normalization when the child has already exited (the lost-bind-race
+ shape — that socket is the #17 external-socket advisory's territory), and
+ an `Lstat` confirms the path is a socket before the chmod, so a planted
+ symlink can never redirect the mode change elsewhere.
+- The agent and the child run as the same user, so the chmod is on a socket
+ we own; failure is essentially impossible, and is logged loudly rather
+ than failing the wake (a box with no consumers must not lose a healthy
+ wake to a normalization it doesn't need).
+- After health means after the app has bound (and possibly chmodded) the
+ socket — the normalization wins against any app habit. The window between
+ bind and normalization is the health-probe interval (milliseconds); a
+ consumer's dial in that window fails once and its retry succeeds.
+
+With decision 1's setgid dir, the normalized socket is
+`0660 carlos:carlos-sockets`: group members dial, everyone else is refused.
+On a box where bootstrap has never been re-run (no setgid, group absent),
+the socket's group is `carlos` and the chmod grants nothing new — the
+normalization is inert until the box converges, never a widening.
+
+The seed path binds no sockets; sidecars bind no sockets; the agent's own
+`.control` purge socket is bound with default umask (no group write) and
+stays effectively agent-only — none of them normalize.
+
+**The contract, stated for app authors** (alongside the seed contract): bind
+your instance socket at the path the platform passes via `--socket`, with
+whatever mode your runtime produces — the platform normalizes it to `0660`
+after your first health response. Do not tighten the mode after startup; a
+post-health chmod strands the deployment's sibling consumers.
+
+## What changes where
+
+- `internal/host/bootstrap.go` — `socketsGroup` const; `tmpfilesConf` line
+ for `/run/carlos` → `2750 carlos carlos-sockets`; live-run: create group,
+ `chgrp` + setgid `/run/carlos` (after the recursive `chown` to the service
+ user, which would otherwise reset the group); `-socket-consumer`
+ repeatable flag → `usermod -aG`; staging prints all of it.
+- `internal/activator/backend_exec.go` — the post-health `os.Chmod(rt.Socket,
+ 0o660)` in `Start`, log-on-error.
+- Tests: bootstrap staging asserts the new tmpfiles line and printed plan;
+ an ExecBackend test spawns a real child (test-binary re-exec) that binds
+ its socket, chmods it 0600 (the titogo habit), and serves — asserting the
+ socket is 0660 after `Start` returns.
+
+No registry, wire, or storage shape changes. No console surface.
+
+## Deployment notes
+
+Per box, after adopting a binary with this change. **Step 1 starts a
+consumer outage window** on a box using the interim grant: the moment
+`/run/carlos`'s group flips to `carlos-sockets`, a running consumer whose
+access came from group `carlos` (supplementary groups are fixed at process
+start) loses traversal — so run steps 1–3 as one uninterrupted sequence and
+the window is seconds.
+
+1. Re-run `carlos bootstrap -socket-consumer <user> ...` (live root). On
+ **tito**: enroll the titogo router/relay users (the ones titogo#535 put
+ in group `carlos`). On **flagship**: no consumers today; a plain re-run
+ just converges the dir. Bootstrap's recursive chown also converges the
+ group on every live instance socket.
+2. Converge live sockets' *mode* (group is already done):
+ `chmod g+rw /run/carlos/*.sock` — or skip and let each instance's next
+ wake normalize it.
+3. `systemctl restart` the consumer processes (picks up the new group
+ membership; ends the outage window).
+4. Only then revoke the interim grant: `gpasswd -d <user> carlos` per
+ enrolled user, plus a restart of each — the group-`carlos` membership
+ carries /data group-read (every instance DB and admin token) and the new
+ group replaces it.
+
+Follow-ups owed elsewhere: website docs batch (standing rule) — the
+app-author contract line belongs on the public app-contract page when that
+batch runs.
