# Runtime Flows — bee

## Network isolation — CRITICAL

**The live CD runs in an isolated network segment with no internet access.**
All binaries, kernel modules, and tools must be baked into the ISO at build time.
No package installation, no downloads, and no package manager calls are allowed at boot.
DHCP is used only for LAN (operator SSH access). Internet is NOT available.

## Boot sequence (single ISO)

`systemd` boot order:

```
local-fs.target
  ├── bee-sshsetup.service   (enables SSH key auth; password fallback only if marker exists)
  │     └── ssh.service      (OpenSSH on port 22 — starts without network)
  ├── bee-network.service    (starts `dhclient -nw` on all physical interfaces, non-blocking)
  ├── bee-nvidia.service     (insmod nvidia*.ko from /usr/local/lib/nvidia/,
  │                           creates /dev/nvidia* nodes)
  └── bee-audit.service      (runs `bee audit` → /var/log/bee-audit.json,
                               never blocks boot on partial collector failures)
```

**Critical invariants:**
- OpenSSH MUST start without network. `bee-sshsetup.service` runs before `ssh.service`.
- `bee-network.service` uses `dhclient -nw` (background) — network bring-up is best effort and non-blocking.
- `bee-nvidia.service` loads modules via `insmod` with absolute paths — NOT `modprobe`.
  Reason: the modules are shipped in the ISO overlay under `/usr/local/lib/nvidia/`, not in the host module tree.
- `bee-audit.service` does not wait for `network-online.target`; audit is local and must run even if DHCP is broken.
- `bee-audit.service` logs audit failures but does not turn partial collector problems into a boot blocker.
- Audit JSON now includes a `hardware.summary` block with overall verdict and warning/failure counts.

## Console and login flow

Local-console behavior:

```text
tty1
  └── live-config autologin → bee
        └── /home/bee/.profile
              └── exec menu
                    └── /usr/local/bin/bee-tui
                          └── sudo -n /usr/local/bin/bee tui --runtime livecd
```

Rules:
- local `tty1` lands in user `bee`, not directly in `root`
- `menu` must work without typing `sudo`
- TUI actions still run as `root` via `sudo -n`
- SSH is independent from the tty1 path
- serial console support is enabled for VM boot debugging

## ISO build sequence

```
build.sh [--authorized-keys /path/to/keys]
  1. compile `bee` binary (skip if .go files older than binary)
  2. create a temporary overlay staging dir under `dist/`
  3. inject authorized_keys into staged `root/.ssh/` (or set password fallback marker)
  4. copy `bee` binary → staged `/usr/local/bin/bee`
  5. copy vendor binaries from `iso/vendor/` → staged `/usr/local/bin/`
     (`storcli64`, `sas2ircu`, `sas3ircu`, `arcconf`, `ssacli` — optional; `mstflint` comes from the Debian package set)
  6. `build-nvidia-module.sh`:
       a. install Debian kernel headers if missing
       b. download NVIDIA `.run` installer (sha256 verified, cached in `dist/`)
       c. extract installer
       d. build kernel modules against Debian headers
       e. create `libnvidia-ml.so.1` / `libcuda.so.1` symlinks in cache
       f. cache in `dist/nvidia-<version>-<kver>/`
  7. inject NVIDIA `.ko` → staged `/usr/local/lib/nvidia/`
  8. inject `nvidia-smi` → staged `/usr/local/bin/nvidia-smi`
  9. inject `libnvidia-ml` + `libcuda` → staged `/usr/lib/`
  10. write staged `/etc/bee-release` (versions + git commit)
  11. patch staged `motd` with build metadata
  12. copy `iso/builder/` into a temporary live-build workdir under `dist/`
  13. sync staged overlay into workdir `config/includes.chroot/`
  14. run `lb config && lb build` inside the temporary workdir
     (either on a Debian host/VM or inside the privileged builder container)
```

**Critical invariants:**
- `DEBIAN_KERNEL_ABI` in `iso/builder/VERSIONS` pins the exact kernel ABI used in BOTH places:
  1. `setup-builder.sh` / `build-in-container.sh` / `build-nvidia-module.sh` — Debian kernel headers for module build
  2. `auto/config` — `linux-image-${DEBIAN_KERNEL_ABI}` in the ISO
- NVIDIA modules go to staged `usr/local/lib/nvidia/` — NOT to `/lib/modules/<kver>/extra/`.
- The source overlay in `iso/overlay/` is treated as immutable source. Build-time files are injected only into the staged overlay.
- The live-build workdir under `dist/` is disposable; source files under `iso/builder/` stay clean.
- Container build requires `--privileged` because `live-build` uses mounts/chroots/loop devices during ISO assembly.

## Post-boot smoke test

After booting a live ISO, run to verify all critical components:

```sh
ssh root@<ip> 'sh -s' < iso/builder/smoketest.sh
```

Exit code 0 = all required checks pass. All `FAIL` lines must be zero before shipping.

Key checks: NVIDIA modules loaded, `nvidia-smi` sees all GPUs, lib symlinks present,
systemd services running, audit completed with NVIDIA enrichment, LAN reachability.

Current validation state:
- local/libvirt VM boot path is validated for `systemd`, SSH, `bee audit`, `bee-network`, and TUI startup
- real hardware validation is still required before treating the ISO as release-ready

## Overlay mechanism

`live-build` copies files from `config/includes.chroot/` into the ISO filesystem.
`build.sh` prepares a staged overlay, then syncs it into a temporary workdir's
`config/includes.chroot/` before running `lb build`.

## Collector flow

```
`bee audit` start
  1. board collector   (dmidecode -t 0,1,2)
  2. cpu collector     (dmidecode -t 4)
  3. memory collector  (dmidecode -t 17)
  4. storage collector (lsblk -J, smartctl -j, nvme id-ctrl, nvme smart-log)
  5. pcie collector    (lspci -vmm -D, /sys/bus/pci/devices/)
  6. psu collector     (ipmitool fru + sdr — silent if no /dev/ipmi0)
  7. nvidia enrichment (nvidia-smi — skipped if binary absent or driver not loaded)
  8. output JSON → /var/log/bee-audit.json
  9. QR summary to stdout (qrencode if available)
```

Every collector returns `nil, nil` on tool-not-found. Errors are logged, never fatal.

Acceptance flows:
- `bee sat nvidia` → diagnostic archive with `nvidia-smi -q` + `nvidia-bug-report` + lightweight `bee-gpu-stress`
- `bee sat memory` → `memtester` archive
- `bee sat storage` → SMART/NVMe diagnostic archive and short self-test trigger where supported
