# Architecture: Orca
|
|
|
|
## System Overview
|
|
|
|
Orca is a single-binary, offline-first orchestration engine. The system consists
|
|
of three logical layers (CLI, Daemon, Engine) compiled into one `orca` binary
|
|
and selected via subcommands. v0.2 adds a **cross-node transport layer** (mTLS)
|
|
and a **dispatcher** for multi-node job execution.
|
|
|
|
```

## Component Details
|
|
|
|
### 1. CLI Layer (`cmd/orca`, `internal/cli`)
|
|
|
|
- **Framework**: Cobra (industry standard, familiar to operators)
|
|
- **v0.1 subcommands**: `version`, `init`, `status`, `node`, `job`, `daemon`
|
|
- **v0.2 additions (P01)**: `orca cert {init,join,renew,show}`
|
|
- **v0.2 additions (P04)**: `--watch` flag on `orca job list` and `orca node list`
|
|
- **v0.2 additions (P01)**: `orca doctor` subcommand (see §5 below)
|
|
- **Output**: Human-readable by default; `--json` flag for machine consumption
|
|
- **Discovery**: All subcommands self-document via Cobra's auto-generated help
|
|
- **Watch semantics (P04)**: `--watch` consumes `iter.Seq[Job|Node]`, exits on
|
|
ctrl-c (via `signal.NotifyContext`), refreshes on internal change events.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Daemon Layer (`internal/daemon`)
|
|
|
|
- **Server**: `net/http` with `http.ServeMux` (no external router)
|
|
- **TLS (P01)**: `crypto/tls` with `MinVersion=tls.VersionTLS13` and
|
|
AEAD cipher allowlist
|
|
(`TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384`, `TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256`,
|
|
`TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256`)
|
|
- **Ports**: Configurable (default `:8443` for API+mTLS, `:8080` for health)
|
|
- **Graceful Shutdown**: `signal.NotifyContext` with SIGINT/SIGTERM
|
|
- **v0.2 endpoints (P02)**:
|
|
- `POST /orca.v1.Dispatch/Submit` — receive cross-node job submission
|
|
- `POST /orca.v1.Dispatch/Status` — query dispatched job status
|
|
- `POST /orca.v1.Register/Hello` — peer join ack (used during `orca node join`)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Transport Layer (`internal/transport`, NEW in P01/P02)
|
|
|
|
- **Client**: `http.Client` with `http.Transport.TLSClientConfig` populated
|
|
from `internal/security.NewClientTLSConfig`
|
|
- **Server**: `http.Server.TLSConfig` populated from
|
|
`internal/security.NewServerTLSConfig`
|
|
- **Retry policy**: exponential backoff with jitter (start 100ms, x2, cap 5s,
|
|
max 5 attempts); only idempotent verbs (`GET`, `HEAD`, `OPTIONS`) are
|
|
retried automatically; `POST` retries require an explicit
|
|
`X-Orca-Idempotency-Key` header
|
|
- **Conn lifecycle**: `context.Context`-aware dials and reads; graceful
|
|
`Close` on `ctx.Done()`
|
|
- **Peer dial pool**: small `sync.Map` of `peerID → *http.Client` to reuse
|
|
TLS handshakes (TCP keep-alive) within a session
|
|
|
|
### 4. Core Engine (`internal/engine`)
|
|
|
|
- **Node Registry**: In-memory map of node IDs → metadata, persisted to SQLite
|
|
(CPU/memory capacity, available slots, last-seen)
|
|
- **Task Executor**: `os/exec.CommandContext` with `WaitDelay` (Go 1.25+) for
|
|
clean process termination
|
|
- **Job Scheduler (v0.2 P02)**:
|
|
- **Algorithm**: best-fit bin-packing by `available_cpu` and `available_memory`
|
|
- **Within-node ordering**: FIFO queue
|
|
- **Cross-node**: if local node is full, `Dispatcher.Submit(peer, job)` is
|
|
invoked; peers are tried in round-robin order
|
|
- **Fallback**: if all peers reject, return `ErrNoFit` and requeue
|
|
- **Dispatcher (NEW, P02)**:
|
|
- `Submit(peerID, spec) (jobID, error)` — blocking call with retry
|
|
- `Watch(peerID) iter.Seq[DispatchEvent]` — pull-style event stream for the
|
|
CLI's `--watch` flag
|
|
- Stateless: every call uses the latest mTLS client config and peer address
|
|
- **Security Manager (NEW, P01)**:
|
|
- `InitCA(commonName) (*CA, error)` — generates a self-signed CA, writes
|
|
`ca.crt` (0644) and `ca.key` (0600) to `~/.orca/`
|
|
- `Fingerprint(certPath) (sha256hex, error)` — used by `orca cert join`
|
|
- `SignServerCert(csr, validity) (*cert, error)` — signs a CSR with the CA
|
|
- `IssueServerCert(nodeName, dnsNames, ips) (*cert, *key, error)` — generates
|
|
a keypair + CSR + signs it, returns PEM bytes for `orca cert join --server`
|
|
- `ServerTLSConfig() (*tls.Config, error)` — loads `server.crt`/`server.key`
|
|
and the CA pool from disk
|
|
- `ClientTLSConfig(caPath) (*tls.Config, error)` — returns a client config
|
|
pinned to the supplied CA
|
|
- **Rotation policy**: server certs valid 90d; CA cert valid 10y. On
|
|
`orca cert renew`, `IssueServerCert` is called and the daemon
|
|
gracefully reloads the in-process `tls.Config` via `GetCertificate`
|
|
hot-swap (no restart required)
|
|
- **Audit Logger**: `slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stderr, ...)` with structured fields
|
|
|
|
### 5. Doctor (`internal/doctor`, NEW in P01)
|
|
|
|
- **Purpose**: operator-facing diagnostics; runs read-only checks against
|
|
the local state and reports PASS/WARN/FAIL.
|
|
- **Subcommands**:
|
|
- `orca doctor` — runs all checks
|
|
- `orca doctor cert` — cert/CA health (file modes, expiry windows, SAN
|
|
presence, fingerprint pinning match — see REQ-026, REQ-033,
|
|
REQ-034, REQ-036)
|
|
- `orca doctor network` — peer reachability over mTLS (per-peer handshake
|
|
sanity, last-seen delta)
|
|
- `orca doctor db` — SQLite integrity check (`PRAGMA integrity_check`)
|
|
+ migration version
|
|
- **Output**: human-readable by default; `--json` for machine consumption
|
|
- **No state changes**: doctor is strictly read-only. It can be run
|
|
while the daemon is down (where possible) or while it's up.
|
|
- **Initial implementation in P01** (cert checks only); `network` and
|
|
`db` checks land in subsequent phases as their state becomes
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
### 6. State Store (`internal/store`)
|
|
|
|
- **Driver**: `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go, CGO-free)
|
|
- **Location**: `~/.orca/orca.db` (user-mode) or `/var/lib/orca/orca.db` (system-mode)
|
|
- **Schema (v0.1)**: `nodes`, `jobs`, `tasks`, `audit_log` tables
|
|
- **Schema (v0.2 P01)**: NEW `certs` table
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE TABLE certs (
|
|
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
|
|
kind TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'ca' | 'server'
|
|
node_id TEXT, -- NULL for CA
|
|
serial_hex TEXT NOT NULL, -- x509.SerialNumber.Hex()
|
|
subject_cn TEXT NOT NULL,
|
|
issuer_cn TEXT NOT NULL,
|
|
not_before INTEGER NOT NULL, -- unix seconds
|
|
not_after INTEGER NOT NULL, -- unix seconds
|
|
fingerprint TEXT NOT NULL, -- sha256 of DER, hex
|
|
source_path TEXT NOT NULL, -- on-disk PEM path
|
|
created_at INTEGER NOT NULL
|
|
);
|
|
CREATE INDEX idx_certs_node_kind ON certs(node_id, kind);
|
|
CREATE INDEX idx_certs_not_after ON certs(not_after);
|
|
```
|
|
- **Migrations**: Embedded SQL files, applied on startup
|
|
- **Migration 0004** is added in P01 with the schema above
|

|
### Flow 4: iter.Seq Streaming (`--watch`) — P04
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
User orca job list --watch
|
|
──── ─────────────────────
|
|
ctx, cancel := signal.NotifyContext(ctx, os.Interrupt)
|
|
defer cancel()
|
|
seq := store.Jobs().Watch(ctx)
|
|
for job := range seq {
|
|
print(job) // human or --json
|
|
}
|
|
// ctrl-c → ctx.Done() → seq stops yielding
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Internally `store.Jobs().Watch(ctx) iter.Seq[Job]` polls the
|
|
`jobs` table on a 1s ticker (or subscribes to an in-process
|
|
notifier channel) and yields the current snapshot of each job
|
|
until `ctx.Done()`. The store repo implements `iter.Seq[Job]`
|
|
as a function that takes a `yield func(Job) bool` callback.
|
|
|
|
## Security Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
- **v0.1**: mTLS for all API endpoints (self-signed CA)
|
|
- **v0.2 P01**: Internal CA with CSR join (see Flow 1 + 2)
|
|
- **v0.2+**: Token-based auth deferred to v0.3+
|
|
|
|
### Cert Rotation
|
|
- Server certs: 90-day validity, rotate at 60 days (30d before expiry)
|
|
- CA cert: 10-year validity, manual rotation
|
|
- Hot-swap: `tls.Config.GetCertificate` callback re-reads the
|
|
`server.crt`/`server.key` files on each handshake so `orca cert renew`
|
|
takes effect without a daemon restart.
|
|
|
|
### Audit Logging
|
|
- All state-changing operations emit structured log records
|
|
- Fields: `timestamp`, `actor`, `action`, `resource`, `result`, `error`
|
|
- Stored in SQLite `audit_log` table and stderr (JSON)
|
|
- **v0.2 P01 additions**: `cert.issued`, `cert.renewed`, `cert.joined`,
|
|
`node.handshake_ok`, `node.handshake_failed`
|
|
|
|
### Input Validation
|
|
- All CLI inputs validated via Cobra's `Args`/`ValidArgs` functions
|
|
- All API inputs validated at handler boundary
|
|
- HCL/YAML specs parsed with strict schemas
|
|
|
|
## Key Architectural Decisions (v0.1 + v0.2)
|
|
|
|
| ID | Decision | Rationale |
|
|
|----|----------|-----------|
|
|
| AD-001 | Single binary with subcommands | Simpler distribution, aligns with simplicity pillar |
|
|
| AD-002 | modernc/sqlite (CGO-free) | Cross-compile friendly, no CGO toolchain needed |
|
|
| AD-003 | net/http (no framework) | Stdlib suffices; avoids external router dependency |
|
|
| AD-004 | os/exec with WaitDelay (Go 1.25+) | Clean process termination, native to Go |
|
|
| AD-005 | Cobra for CLI | Industry standard, familiar to operators |
|
|
| AD-006 | slog for logging | Native to Go 1.21+, no external dependency |
|
|
| AD-007 | HCL for job specs | Familiar to Nomad/HashiCorp users |
|
|
| AD-008 | Single-node scheduling (v0.1) | Multi-node scheduling deferred to v0.2+ |
|
|
| AD-009 | Internal CA, no external PKI (v0.2) | Self-contained, no operational PKI requirement |
|
|
| AD-010 | Roll-our-own CA in `crypto/x509` (v0.2) | step-ca/cfssl/vault-pki too heavyweight for Orca's footprint |
|
|
| AD-011 | Operator-mediated CA cert distribution (v0.2) | No secret distribution over the wire; matches offline-first |
|
|
| AD-012 | TLS 1.3 only, AEAD allowlist (v0.2) | Modern crypto only; no downgrade risk |
|
|
| AD-013 | Eager mTLS at `node join` (v0.2) | Fail fast; don't defer handshake to first request |
|
|
| AD-014 | `orca.v1.Dispatch` via stdlib h2c (v0.2) | ConnectRPC not in go.mod; stdlib suffices for a single-RPC service |
|
|
| AD-015 | Best-fit bin-packing (v0.2) | Simple, deterministic, optimal for small fleets |
|
|
| AD-016 | iter.Seq for streaming lists (v0.2) | Go 1.25+ native, context-aware, pull semantics |
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns (Explicitly Avoided)
|
|
|
|
- No controller/agent split (single binary)
|
|
- No CRDs / custom resource definitions
|
|
- No web UI (CLI-only)
|
|
- No service mesh
|
|
- No container runtime integration
|
|
- No multi-tenancy
|
|
- No cloud provider integrations
|
|
- No auto-scaling
|
|
- No admission controllers
|
|
- No complex scheduling algorithms (best-fit only)
|
|
- No gRPC framework dependency (stdlib net/http with h2c, Go 1.25+ native)
|
|
- No external PKI / no cert transparency logs (offline-first)
|
|
|
|
## Dependency Map (minimal — v0.2 adds zero direct deps)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
github.com/spf13/cobra # CLI framework
|
|
github.com/hashicorp/hcl/v2 # HCL parser
|
|
modernc.org/sqlite # SQLite (pure Go)
|
|
github.com/google/uuid # UUID generation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Total: ~4 direct dependencies. No web framework, no ORM, no RPC framework,
|
|
no PKI library. mTLS via `crypto/tls` and `crypto/x509` (stdlib).
|
|
|
|
> **ConnectRPC note**: `.ciagent/config.json` lists `connectrpc` in
|
|
> `frameworks`, but the actual `go.mod` does not depend on
|
|
> `connectrpc.com/connect`. v0.2 falls back to plain `net/http` with
|
|
> HTTP/2 cleartext (h2c) for `orca.v1.Dispatch`. The protocol is a
|
|
> simple JSON-over-HTTP POST: client sends
|
|
> `{"spec": "..."}` to `/orca.v1.Dispatch/Submit`; server replies
|
|
> `{"job_id": "..."}`. This keeps the zero-new-dep promise and the
|
|
> codebase coherent with the rest of the daemon's `http.ServeMux`.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment Model (v0.2)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Operator Machine Node A (CA holder) Node B (Peer)
|
|
──────────────── ───────────────── ─────────────
|
|
orca CLI orca daemon orca daemon
|
|
│ │ ▲ │ ▲
|
|
│ mTLS handshake │ │ mTLS │ │
|
|
│ at `node join` ────────────┼──┘ │ │
|
|
│ │ │ │
|
|
│ submit job ───POST────────▶│ POST (cross-node) ──────────▶│
|
|
│ │ mTLS only │ │
|
|
│ │ │ │
|
|
│ ◀───────jobID──────────────│ ◀─────jobID (200 OK)─────────│
|
|
│ │ │
|
|
│ orca job list --watch │ │
|
|
│ (iter.Seq stream) ◀────────│── polls local + stream events│
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For v0.2, one node must be the CA holder (`orca cert init` was run
|
|
on it). The CA holder's `ca.crt` is copied to each peer manually by
|
|
the operator; peers do not auto-fetch it.
