statewire

The Statewire protocol for Python, on top of pinned.

Statewire is a PinnedAPI (one live instance per id cluster-wide) that replicates one JSON object — any State — over packet streams:

  • POST /stream (SSE) — the body is the first client frame ({"headers", "ctx"?, "cmd"?}), the response the packet stream. Every packet is an envelope {"ops"?, "cmd"?, "syn"?, "idle"?, "fin"?}. The first packet is a full snapshot (ops: [{"op": "replace", "path": [], "value": <state>}]) with the hello syn {"seq", "ctxSeq", "idle"?}: the client's admitted watermark per lane. Each attach's lease rides the Statewire-Lease response header. GET /stream is the degenerate empty-frame attach and /ws the WebSocket twin (frames ride the socket). A client id may hold any number of concurrent attaches: each gets its own hello and lease, and cmd answers and dur receipts fan out to every live attach of the id.
  • POST /frames — submits follow-up frames {"headers"?, "ctx"?, "cmd"?} under Statewire-Client-Id and a live attach's Statewire-Lease. Each cmd statement is a method call {"method": <name>, "params": [...], "seq": <int>} routed to the @command handler registered under that name; the ctx lane replaces the client's context object. The HTTP response is receipt only: 200 {} admitted whole, 409 seq gap and 429 backpressure answer the {"syn": ...} refusal body (the 429 also carries Retry-After), 423 dead lease (its attach is gone — re-attach and resend), 400 malformed (the stream also fins error). Verdicts ride the stream. Over WS the same frames ride the socket — no lease header, holding the connection is the lease.

ops are Immer-style deltas with array paths (object keys as strings, list indices as ints): replace sets a value, add splices — its final int segment indexes into the parent, so a list parent gains an element and a string parent gains text at that offset — remove deletes. cmd carries the issuing client's verdicts as an array of {"seq", "type": "result" | "applied" | "rejected" | "failed" | "crashed" | "expired", "code"?, "message"?, "payload"?} entries plus {"seq", "dur": true} durability markers; effect ops precede the verdict, and applied states the broadcast state now contains the command's effects while the result is still in flight. fin ({"reason": "evicted" | "error" | "gone" | "idle", "message"?}) is always the last packet.

Handler outcomes: the return value becomes the terminal result payload; raise StatewireReject becomes rejected; any other raise becomes failed; an involuntary death (cancellation at shutdown or eviction) becomes crashed. ctx.applied() flushes the applied entry riding the ops packet that carries the handler's effects so far; the terminal entry follows on a later flush. Duplicate seqs never re-run: a replayed statement re-emits its stored verdict on the stream (expired once the outcome outlived retention).

The protocol is generic: it says nothing about messages, queues, or agents — it only replicates whatever self.state dict you assign and dispatches whatever commands you declare. Domain-specific layers (see the harness-sdk package) sit on top.

from statewire import Statewire, command


class Thread(Statewire):
    async def lifespan(self):
        self.state = {"messages": []}  # yielding without setting self.state throws
        yield

    @command
    async def addMessage(self, message_id: str, content: str):
        self.state["messages"].append({"id": message_id, "content": content})
        self.create_task(self.run())  # long work outside the inbox; returning here => applied

@command registers the handler under the method's own name; @command("name") registers it under an explicit wire name. Params are positional. An unknown method or a params/signature mismatch is a rejected verdict on the stream, not an HTTP error; the seq is consumed.

self.state is a change-tracking proxy: mutate it plainly and the ops replicate to every attached stream. += on a string becomes an end-offset text-insert add op of the suffix; other mutations become narrow replace / add / remove ops. Mutations within one synchronous segment coalesce into a single envelope.

Extra routes

Need an endpoint beyond the protocol trio (a health check, a file upload)? Decorate a method with pinned's route escape hatch:

from pinned import route
from statewire import Statewire


class Thread(Statewire):
    @route.get("/health")
    async def health(self, request):
        return {"ok": True}

The reserved protocol paths /stream, /frames, and /ws are Statewire's own; a subclass that decorates a @route onto any of them raises at class-definition time rather than silently shadowing the protocol.

Layering
