docs: add configuration architecture research

Browse Source 
Explore static/dynamic config split, hot-reloadable auth via ArcSwap,
forwarding policy, multi-transport listeners, and config file format.
Documents three problems: no auth hot-reload, no forwarding access control,
no structured config beyond CLI flags.

Key findings:
- Static config (transport, TLS, host key) loaded once at startup
- Dynamic config (auth, forwarding, rate limits) reloadable via ArcSwap
- ForwardingPolicy with rule-based allow/deny, first-match evaluation
- Multi-transport: Server spawns Vec<ListenerConfig> sharing auth config
- WebTransport out of scope for now (requires separate auth model)
- Proposes ADR-020 (static/dynamic split), ADR-021 (forwarding policy),
  ADR-022 (multi-transport listeners)

Adds OQ-12 through OQ-17 to open-questions.md.

# Configuration Architecture
## Problem
Wraith's configuration is loaded once at startup and never changes. This has
three specific failures:
1. **No hot reload of authentication credentials.** Adding or removing an
authorized key requires restarting the server process. In a hub/spoke
deployment where keys are managed via a database (see
`@alkdev/storage`'s `peer_credentials` table), the wraith process must be
restarted every time a key is added, revoked, or rotated. This is
operationally unacceptable for a production service.
2. **No port forwarding access control.** Any authenticated client can open a
`direct-tcpip` channel to any destination. There is no policy governing
which hosts, ports, or `wraith-*` control channels a client may access. This
is a security gap — a compromised key grants unrestricted network access
through the tunnel.
3. **No structured configuration beyond CLI flags.** ADR-011 chose
programmatic-first configuration for the alpha. This was correct — it
avoided cross-platform path issues and kept the API surface small. But as
wraith moves toward publishable releases, operators need config files for
reproducible deployments, and the NAPI layer needs programmatic reload
capability that the current `ServeOptions` builder pattern doesn't support.
### What's Not The Problem
- This does not propose depending on Honker, SQLite, or any specific data
source at the `wraith-core` level. The core provides a reload mechanism;
data sources plug in from outside.
- This does not propose file-watching (potential attack vector, unnecessary
complexity). CLI usage loads config once at startup. Programmatic usage
(NAPI, hub) calls reload explicitly.
- This does not replace the existing `ServeOptions` builder pattern. It
generalizes it.
## Analysis
### Static vs Dynamic Configuration
Not all configuration should be reloadable. Transport-level settings (listen
address, TLS certificates, host key) require socket/TLS renegotiation to change
at runtime — effectively a restart. Auth and forwarding policy can change
atomically without disrupting existing connections.
| Category | Examples | Reloadable? |
|---|---|---|
| Transport | listen addr, TLS cert/key, iroh relay, stealth mode | No — requires bind change |
| Identity | host key, host key algorithm | No — requires SSH re-negotiation |
| Auth | authorized keys, cert authorities | **Yes** — next auth check picks up changes |
| Forwarding | allowed destinations, per-principal rules | **Yes** — next channel open picks up changes |
| Rate limits | max connections per IP, max auth attempts | **Yes** — next check picks up changes |
The split is clean: anything that affects the SSH handshake or socket binding
is static. Anything that's checked per-connection or per-channel is dynamic.
### Current Architecture
```
ServeOptions (builder) → Server::new()
├─ Arc<server::Config> (russh config, immutable)
├─ Arc<ServerAuthConfig> (keys + CAs, immutable after load)
├─ Arc<ConnectionRateLimiter> (mutable but not reloadable)
└─ ServerHandler::new(auth_config, ...)
ServerHandler
├─ auth_config: Arc<ServerAuthConfig> ← shared, immutable
├─ connection_limiter: Arc<ConnectionRateLimiter>
├─ outbound_proxy: Option<ProxyConfig>
└─ (no forwarding policy field)
```
`auth_publickey()` reads from `self.auth_config` via `Arc` dereference. No
path to update it.
### Proposed Architecture
Replace `Arc<ServerAuthConfig>` with a reloadable provider:
```
StaticConfig (Arc, loaded once)
├─ transport mode, listen addr, TLS config, iroh config
├─ stealth, proxy
├─ host key
└─ max_auth_attempts, max_connections_per_ip
DynamicConfig (Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>, reloadable)
├─ auth: ServerAuthConfig
├─ forwarding: ForwardingPolicy
└─ rate_limits: RateLimitConfig
ConfigReloadHandle (exposed to NAPI)
└─ reload(DynamicConfig)
```
`ArcSwap` provides lock-free reads on the hot path. Every `auth_publickey()`
and `channel_open_direct_tcpip()` call does an `Arc` dereference — zero cost
compared to the current approach. Writes are atomic: `store()` swaps the
pointer. Existing connections finish with their current config, new connections
get the new config.
### Forwarding Policy
Currently, `channel_open_direct_tcpip` in `handler.rs` spawns a proxy task for
any destination. The only gate is authentication. A forwarding policy adds a
check before the proxy spawn:
```rust
pub struct ForwardingPolicy {
default: ForwardingAction,
rules: Vec<ForwardingRule>,
}
pub struct ForwardingRule {
target: TargetPattern,
action: ForwardingAction,
principals: Vec<String>,
}
pub enum ForwardingAction { Allow, Deny }
pub enum TargetPattern {
Any,
Host(String),
Cidr(IpNetwork),
PortRange(String, Range<u16>),
WraithPrefix,
}
```
Rule evaluation: first match wins, default applies if no rule matches. This
model maps to OpenSSH's `AllowTcpForwarding` + `PermitOpen` but is more
expressive. It also maps to `peer_credentials.metadata.scopes` in `@alkdev/storage`
— the hub can generate forwarding rules from stored scopes.
Rule ordering matters. A deny-then-allow pattern gives blocklist semantics. An
allow-then-deny pattern gives allowlist semantics. Both are useful. The
default determines the fallback.
### Configuration File Format
ADR-011 chose "programmatic-first, no config file." This was correct for alpha.
For publishable releases, a config file enables:
- Reproducible deployments (version-controlled config)
- Less verbose CLI invocations
- Separate files for static and dynamic config (only static needs to be in the
config file; dynamic comes from the reload mechanism)
TOML is the idiomatic Rust choice. The config file covers static config only —
the same fields as `ServeOptions`. Dynamic config (auth, forwarding) comes from
the reload mechanism, not from the file. This preserves ADR-011's intent: the
core doesn't know about the data source for auth keys, it just provides a place
to put them.
```toml
[server]
transport = "tls"
listen = "0.0.0.0:443"
stealth = false
max_connections_per_ip = 5
max_auth_attempts = 3
[server.tls]
cert = "/etc/wraith/tls/cert.pem"
key = "/etc/wraith/tls/key.pem"
[server.iroh]
relay = "https://relay.alk.dev"
[auth]
host_key = "/etc/wraith/ssh/host_key"
[forwarding]
default = "deny"
[[forwarding.rules]]
target = "localhost:*"
action = "allow"
[[forwarding.rules]]
target = "wraith-*"
action = "allow"
[[forwarding.rules]]
target = "*:22"
action = "deny"
```
The `[[forwarding.rules]]` array syntax is TOML's array-of-tables pattern.
Rules are evaluated in order; first match wins.
### NAPI Reload API
The NAPI layer exposes the reload handle:
```typescript
interface WraithServer {
reloadAuth(auth: { authorizedKeys?: Buffer, certAuthority?: Buffer }): void;
reloadForwarding(policy: ForwardingPolicyConfig): void;
reloadAll(config: DynamicConfig): void;
}
interface ForwardingPolicyConfig {
default: 'allow' | 'deny';
rules: ForwardingRuleConfig[];
}
interface ForwardingRuleConfig {
target: string; // "localhost:*", "10.0.0.0/8:80", "wraith-*"
action: 'allow' | 'deny';
principals?: string[]; // default ["*"]
}
```
The hub calls `server.reloadAuth(...)` after writing to `peer_credentials`.
The NAPI layer parses the key data and constructs a new `DynamicConfig`, then
calls the `ConfigReloadHandle`.
### Client Configuration
Client configuration is almost entirely static (which server to connect to,
which key to use). The only potential dynamic config is key rotation, which is
less urgent because clients don't serve. For now, client configuration stays
as `ConnectOptions` — no `ArcSwap` needed.
A config file for client connections could define named profiles:
```toml
[profiles.production]
server = "hub.alk.dev:443"
transport = "tls"
identity = "/home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519"
[profiles.staging]
server = "staging.alk.dev:22"
transport = "tcp"
identity = "/home/user/.ssh/staging_key"
```
This is a convenience layer on top of `ConnectOptions`, not a replacement.
### CLI vs Programmatic Behavior
| Interface | Static config | Dynamic config | Reload mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLI | Flags + optional `--config` file | Loaded at startup from `--authorized-keys` | None (restart to change) |
| Core Rust | `StaticConfig` struct | `ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>` | `ConfigReloadHandle::reload()` |
| NAPI | `serve()` options | Same `ArcSwap` | `server.reloadAuth()`, `server.reloadForwarding()` |
The CLI doesn't need a reload mechanism. When you're running wraith from the
command line, restarting is fine. The reload mechanism exists for programmatic
consumers that manage credentials in a database.
### Multi-Transport Listeners
A host may want to accept connections on multiple transports simultaneously:
- TCP on port 22 (simple, direct SSH)
- TLS on port 443 (stealth mode, corporate firewalls)
- iroh QUIC (P2P, no port forwarding needed)
- WebTransport on port 443 (browser clients, shares the HTTP/3 listener)
Currently `ServeTransportMode` is a single enum and `Server::run()` takes one
acceptor. To serve multiple transports, the architecture needs to change.
**Option A: `Server` manages multiple listeners internally.**
```rust
pub struct Server {
// Shared state (one copy, shared across all listeners)
config: Arc<server::Config>,
dynamic_config: Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>,
connection_limiter: Arc<ConnectionRateLimiter>,
outbound_proxy: Option<ProxyConfig>,
sessions: Arc<tokio::sync::Mutex<Vec<ActiveSession>>>,
shutdown_tx: tokio::sync::watch::Sender<bool>,
shutdown_rx: tokio::sync::watch::Receiver<bool>,
// Per-listener state
listeners: Vec<ListenerConfig>,
}
pub struct ListenerConfig {
transport: ServeTransportMode,
listen_addr: SocketAddr,
stealth: bool,
// Transport-specific config (TLS cert, iroh relay, etc.)
tls: Option<TlsConfig>,
iroh: Option<IrohConfig>,
}
```
`Server::run()` spawns one accept loop per `ListenerConfig`. Each loop
constructs its own acceptor and `ServerHandler` (with the appropriate
`TransportKind` tag), but shares the auth config, connection limiter, and
session list. Shutdown signal goes to all loops.
**Option B: Caller manages multiple `Server` instances.**
The caller creates N `Server` objects, each with its own transport. They share
`Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>` and `Arc<ConnectionRateLimiter>` explicitly.
Option A is better because: shared shutdown, shared session tracking, single
point for config reload. Option B puts coordination burden on the caller and
makes graceful shutdown harder (N independent shutdown channels).
**The TLS + WebTransport coexistence question.** Both TLS and WebTransport
use port 443. WebTransport is HTTP/3 (QUIC), TLS on port 443 is typically
TCP+TLS. They can share the port because they're different protocols — QUIC
is UDP, TLS-over-TCP is TCP. The kernel routes by protocol. But if both are
on 443, the stealth mode protocol detector needs to handle HTTP/3 as well:
```
Port 443:
TCP connection → TLS handshake → SSH (existing)
UDP "connection" → QUIC handshake → WebTransport → stream proxy
```
This is similar to how iroh-live-relay works: HTTP/3 listener accepts
WebTransport sessions, each session opens bidirectional streams that map to
internal services.
**Config file for multi-transport:**
```toml
[[listeners]]
transport = "tls"
listen = "0.0.0.0:443"
stealth = true
[listeners.tls]
cert = "/etc/wraith/tls/cert.pem"
key = "/etc/wraith/tls/key.pem"
[[listeners]]
transport = "tcp"
listen = "0.0.0.0:22"
[[listeners]]
transport = "iroh"
iroh_relay = "https://relay.alk.dev"
[[listeners]]
transport = "webtransport"
listen = "0.0.0.0:443"
# WebTransport shares port 443 with TLS because QUIC is UDP, TLS is TCP
[listeners.webtransport]
cert = "/etc/wraith/tls/cert.pem"
key = "/etc/wraith/tls/key.pem"
```
The `[[listeners]]` array-of-tables pattern means each listener is an
independent config block. The `[auth]`, `[forwarding]`, and `[server]`
sections at the top level are shared — they apply to all listeners.
**NAPI multi-transport:**
```typescript
const server = await serve({
listeners: [
{ transport: 'tls', listen: '0.0.0.0:443', stealth: true, tlsCert: '...', tlsKey: '...' },
{ transport: 'tcp', listen: '0.0.0.0:22' },
{ transport: 'iroh', irohRelay: 'https://relay.alk.dev' },
],
hostKey: hostKeyBuffer,
authorizedKeys: keysBuffer,
});
```
Single `WraithServer` object, single `reloadAuth()` call affects all
listeners.
### Transport Kind and WebTransport
The `TransportKind` enum (currently `Tcp | Tls | Iroh`) tags each connection
so the handler can behave differently per transport. Adding `WebTransport` to
this enum is straightforward — WebTransport connections are identifiable at
accept time. The handler behavior is the same (port forwarding only), but
the tag enables transport-specific logging and future policy differences
(e.g., WebTransport clients can only access `wraith-*` control channels).
## Proposed Solution
### Phase 1: Static/Dynamic Split
1. Introduce `StaticConfig` and `DynamicConfig` structs
2. Replace `Arc<ServerAuthConfig>` in `ServerHandler` with
`Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>`
3. Add `ConfigReloadHandle` with `reload(DynamicConfig)` method
4. Expose `reloadAuth()` on the NAPI `WraithServer` object
**Scope**: `wraith-core` auth module + `wraith-napi` serve module
**Risk**: Low — internal refactor, no protocol changes
### Phase 2: Forwarding Policy
1. Add `ForwardingPolicy` to `DynamicConfig`
2. Add policy check to `channel_open_direct_tcpip` before proxy spawn
3. Expose `reloadForwarding()` on NAPI `WraithServer`
**Scope**: `wraith-core` handler + `wraith-napi`
**Risk**: Low — new check, default-allow preserves current behavior
### Phase 3: Config File
1. Add `--config <path>` CLI flag parsing TOML
2. CLI flags override config file values (same precedence as cargo)
3. Config file only covers static config + initial auth config path
4. Add `serde` derive to `StaticConfig`
**Scope**: `wraith-cli` (new binary crate) + `wraith-core` config module
**Risk**: Medium — new dependency (`toml` crate), new CLI surface to validate
### Phase 4: Client Profiles
1. Add `[profiles]` section to client config file
2. `--profile production` loads named profile
3. CLI flags override profile values
**Scope**: `wraith-cli`
**Risk**: Low — convenience layer only
### Phase 5: Multi-Transport Listeners
1. Change `ServeTransportMode` from single enum to `Vec<ListenerConfig>`
2. `Server::run()` spawns one accept loop per listener, sharing `DynamicConfig`
3. Single shutdown signal drains all listeners
4. Add `[[listeners]]` to config file format
5. NAPI `serve()` accepts `listeners` array instead of single `transport`
6. Add `WebTransport` to `TransportKind` enum (initially as a tag only;
actual WebTransport acceptor is a separate R&D phase)
**Scope**: `wraith-core` serve.rs + `wraith-napi` + `wraith-cli`
**Risk**: Medium — changes the primary API surface of `serve()`. Backwards
compat via accepting both `transport: string` (single) and
`listeners: array` (multi) in NAPI.
## Open Questions
- **OQ-CFG-01**: Should forwarding rules support per-user scope derived from
the authenticated key's metadata (e.g., `peer_credentials.metadata.scopes`)?
Or is a global rules table with principal matching sufficient?
Global rules with principal matching is simpler and covers most cases. Per-user
scope derived from certificates is more granular but requires the server to
maintain a mapping from key fingerprint to scope. This mapping comes from the
hub's database, not from the SSH protocol. Phase 2 starts with global rules;
per-user scope can be added as an extension.
- **OQ-CFG-02**: Should the config file watch for changes and auto-reload?
No. File watching is a potential attack vector (symlink races, inotify
limitations on network filesystems). The CLI loads once at startup. The NAPI
layer reloads explicitly. This is the right model for a security-sensitive
tool.
- **OQ-CFG-03**: Should `ArcSwap` be the reload primitive, or is `RwLock`
sufficient?
`ArcSwap` is the standard pattern for this in Rust network services
(`arc-swap` crate). It provides lock-free reads (the hot path) and atomic
writes. `RwLock` would also work but adds lock contention on reads. The
`arc-swap` dependency is small (~500 lines) and well-maintained. Prefer it.
- **OQ-CFG-04**: Should TLS and WebTransport on the same port share a single
QUIC listener (like iroh Router's ALPN dispatch), or run as separate
listeners on the same port?
They can't conflict because QUIC is UDP and TLS-over-TCP is TCP — the
kernel routes by protocol, not by port number. They're naturally separate
listeners even on the same port. However, if iroh is also running on the
same host, the iroh endpoint already owns a QUIC listener. The WebTransport
listener needs its own. Options: (a) share the iroh endpoint's QUIC listener
with ALPN dispatch (reuses `from_endpoint` pattern), (b) separate QUIC
listeners on different ports, (c) bind both to 443/UDP — possible if
`SO_REUSEPORT` is used. Needs R&D; defer to WebTransport transport design
session.
**Update**: WebTransport is out of scope for the current configuration
work. It requires a fundamentally different authentication model (HTTP-level
API keys/session tokens vs SSH key-based auth). The `ServerHandler` only
knows SSH `auth_publickey`. WebTransport auth would need its own handler
path. This connects to the broader question of whether `DynamicConfig.auth`
should be transport-aware (see OQ-CFG-06). WebTransport transport design
is a separate R&D session.
- **OQ-CFG-05**: Does `TransportKind::WebTransport` need any handler behavior
different from other transports?
Initially no — all transports get the same port-forwarding-only handler.
But WebTransport connections come from browsers, which have different trust
assumptions. A future forwarding policy might restrict WebTransport clients
to `wraith-*` control channels only (no arbitrary host:port forwarding).
This is a policy question, not a transport question. The `TransportKind` tag
on the handler enables transport-aware policy rules in `ForwardingPolicy`
without changing the handler. Defer to Phase 2 (forwarding policy design).
- **OQ-CFG-06**: Should the auth layer be transport-aware?
Currently `DynamicConfig.auth` is `ServerAuthConfig` — SSH keys and CAs
only. This works for SSH over any transport (TCP, TLS, iroh) because SSH
carries its own auth protocol. But non-SSH transports (WebTransport,
WebSocket) use HTTP-level authentication (API keys, session tokens in
headers/query params). The auth question is: does the same `DynamicConfig`
serve both models, or does each transport carry its own auth config?
Option A: `AuthPolicy` contains both SSH auth and API key auth:
```rust
pub struct AuthPolicy {
ssh: SshAuthConfig, // for SSH-over-any-transport
api_keys: Option<ApiKeysConfig>, // for non-SSH transports
}
```
Option B: Auth is per-listener. Each `ListenerConfig` carries its own auth
config appropriate to its transport.
Option A is simpler for the initial implementation — the SSH auth path is
unchanged, and API key auth is additive. Option B is more flexible but
duplicates the shared auth state (keys should be reloadable once, not per
listener).
For now, the config architecture should accommodate Option A as a future
extension. Phase 1 implements `DynamicConfig` with SSH auth only. API key
auth is added when a non-SSH transport is implemented.
## Decisions Required
These decisions will be extracted into ADRs when the architecture is finalized:
1. **ADR-020**: Static/dynamic config split, `ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>` for
hot-reloadable auth and forwarding policy. Supersedes ADR-011's "no config
file" — adds optional config file while preserving programmatic-first API.
2. **ADR-021**: Forwarding policy with rule-based allow/deny. Default-allow
preserves current behavior during migration; default-deny for production
deployments.
3. **ADR-022**: Multi-transport listeners. `Server` spawns multiple accept
loops sharing auth config, session state, and shutdown. Replaces single
`ServeTransportMode` with `Vec<ListenerConfig>`.
