tibet-continuityd

Continuous Integrity System Daemon for the Distributed Continuity OS.

A residential trust-guardian that runs in the background of every machine where TIBET cryptographic discipline must be continuously enforced.

Design axiom

Name is hint. Content is truth. Arrival is event.

— Codex, 9 May 2026

v0.1 scope (this release)

• ✅ Watch — inotify on a single inbox lane
• ✅ Sniff — magic-byte recognition (TBZ + executables + PDF + JSON)
• ✅ Disposition classification per Codex' intake policy table
• ✅ Audit JSONL log + journald-friendly stderr logging
• ✅ Mode 1 (Passive Guardian): observe + log + advise
• ✅ systemd unit ready for deployment
• ⏭ v0.2 will add: Verify (cryptographic) + Fork (via phantom.icc)
• ⏭ v0.3 will add: Seal (continuous reseal) + Police (unpacked detect)

Install

pip install tibet-continuityd

Run (development)

TIBET_CONTINUITYD_INBOX=/tmp/inbox \
TIBET_CONTINUITYD_AUDIT=/tmp/audit.jsonl \
python3 -m tibet_continuityd

Drop a TBZ-prefixed file into /tmp/inbox/:

printf 'TBZ\x01\x00\x00\x00' > /tmp/inbox/sample.claude.tza

You will see:

arrival: 'sample.claude.tza' → sealed-tbz (trusted-candidate, 7B)

Run (production, systemd)

sudo cp tibet-continuityd.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin tibet
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/tibet/{inbox,quarantine,triage,materialized}
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/tibet
sudo chown -R tibet:tibet /var/lib/tibet /var/log/tibet
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now tibet-continuityd
journalctl -u tibet-continuityd -f

Disposition table (v0.1)

Intake class	Trigger	Disposition
sealed-tbz	TBZ magic + recognized vendor extension	trusted-candidate
sealed-tbz-no-ext	TBZ magic, no/unknown extension	trusted-candidate
disguised	Vendor extension, no TBZ magic	triage-disguised
executable	ELF / PE binary	quarantine
pdf	PDF magic	reject
json-text	Plain JSON state in sealed-only zone	reseal-candidate
unknown	Anything else	quarantine
empty	Zero-byte file	reject

v0.1 logs the disposition only. v0.2+ will act on it (Verify + Fork or Quarantine + Triage).
