| 1 | +# Immutable Node Profile Contracts |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This contract addition defines the first SourceOS machine-readable surface for immutable Linux node profiles. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Why this exists |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The platform standards layer already defines the general immutable host capability placement grammar. SourceOS needs a contract-native form that downstream implementation repos can validate, render, and emit evidence for. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The key boundary is: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- SourceOS immutable nodes are base substrate profiles. |
| 12 | +- Socios capability packs are optional automation commons and must not be required for a base SourceOS node. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Added schemas |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +| Schema | Purpose | URN prefix | |
| 17 | +|---|---|---| |
| 18 | +| `ImmutableNodeProfile.json` | Top-level immutable node profile tying together substrate posture, release refs, host placements, state schemas, validation commands, and optional Socios pack refs. | `urn:srcos:immutable-node-profile:` | |
| 19 | +| `HostCapabilityPlacement.json` | Placement declaration for one host capability, service workload, extension, or state root. | `urn:srcos:host-capability-placement:` | |
| 20 | +| `NodeStateSchema.json` | Durable state root contract with rollback compatibility and mutability posture. | `urn:srcos:node-state-schema:` | |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Added examples |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +| Example | Schema | |
| 25 | +|---|---| |
| 26 | +| `examples/immutablenodeprofile.json` | `schemas/ImmutableNodeProfile.json` | |
| 27 | +| `examples/hostcapabilityplacement.json` | `schemas/HostCapabilityPlacement.json` | |
| 28 | +| `examples/nodestateschema.json` | `schemas/NodeStateSchema.json` | |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Validation |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The focused validator is: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```bash |
| 35 | +python3 tools/validate_immutable_node_examples.py |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +A future hygiene pass should wire this into the repository `Makefile` and `schemas/README.md` once the contract slice is accepted. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Downstream implementation map |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +| Downstream repo | Expected role | |
| 43 | +|---|---| |
| 44 | +| `SourceOS-Linux/sourceos-boot` | Consumes boot/release references and coordinates boot/recovery/install/rollback handoff. | |
| 45 | +| `SourceOS-Linux/agent-machine` | Renders and validates systemd, Quadlet, state roots, activation decisions, storage receipts, and runtime evidence. | |
| 46 | +| `SourceOS-Linux/sourceos-devtools` | Exposes `sourceosctl immutable-node plan|validate|inspect` operator flows. | |
| 47 | +| `SocioProphet/agentplane` | Consumes immutable-node activation/runtime evidence and replayable receipts. | |
| 48 | +| `SocioProphet/prophet-platform` | Consumes profiles as deployment/FogStack substrate evidence. | |
| 49 | +| `SocioProphet/sociosphere` | Registers topology and cross-repo governance edges. | |
| 50 | +| `SociOS-Linux/socios` | Optional automation/personalization commons only after explicit enrollment. | |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Non-goals |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +This tranche does not: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +- implement boot execution; |
| 57 | +- mutate host state; |
| 58 | +- make Socios mandatory; |
| 59 | +- replace BootReleaseSet; |
| 60 | +- add a production node renderer; |
| 61 | +- add CI or Makefile wiring yet. |
