From 3b31be4fab4f7b733bf3c0862cc1fe4ae3dce4d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 12:45:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] docs: ADR-0017 on deploying app logic as smart contracts (Proposed) Records the analysis of modelling a conventional API server's application logic as smart contracts on this Raft substrate. Captures that the framework gives the form of smart contracts (deterministic, replicated, audited execution) without the substance of trustlessness, since Raft is CFT not BFT, and lands on guidance for when the model fits (single trust domain, audit-critical) versus when it does not (multi-party trust minimization).

Deploying application logic as smart contracts on this framework + +- Status: Proposed +- Date: 2026-06-20 + +## Context + +This project is, structurally, a small **smart-contract execution substrate**: +application logic is expressed as `Command` types (`consensus/types.ts`) that flow +through an ordered, replicated log and are applied by a deterministic state +machine (`stateMachine.ts`), with a tamper-evident hash-chained audit trail +(`replicatedStateMachine.ts`) and exactly-once semantics. That is the same shape +as "deterministic state transitions over an append-only, agreed-upon log" that a +contract platform provides. + +A recurring question is therefore whether a conventional ("formal") API server's +application logic should be deployed *as smart contracts on this framework* — +i.e. modelling each mutating endpoint as a `Command` variant + an `apply()` case ++ a leader-side builder (`models/book.ts`), instead of an imperative handler over +a database. This ADR records the analysis and the conditions under which that is +(and is not) the right model. + +The decisive fact shaping the whole analysis: **Raft is Crash-Fault-Tolerant +(CFT), not Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT).** It assumes peers are honest but may +crash; it does not tolerate malicious participants. The framework gives the +*form* of smart contracts (deterministic, replicated, audited execution) without +the *substance* of trustlessness (agreement among mutually-distrusting parties). +The "trustless agreement" framing in `docs/PHILOSOPHY.md` is aspirational in this +sense. + +## Decision + +Characterize the framework as a **CFT replicated-state-machine contract +substrate, scoped to a single trust domain**, and adopt the following guidance +for modelling application logic as contracts on it: + +- **Recommended** where the goal is replication + tamper-evidence + exactly-once + within *one organization that controls all nodes*: compliance ledgers, + financial-ops journals, inventory/settlement, audit-critical CRUD. This is + effectively "event-sourcing + Raft + a hash-chained audit," which the codebase + already demonstrates. +- **Not recommended** where the motivation is trust-minimization across + distrusting parties, public/permissionless participation, adversarial node + operators, large state, or logic requiring external I/O. Those are a category + mismatch for CFT consensus; use an actual BFT/blockchain platform. + +When logic *is* modelled this way, it must respect the existing invariants: +determinism in `apply()` (ADR-0003), snapshot-relative indexing, leader-resolved +non-determinism, and side effects kept off the apply path (leader/edge "oracle" +pattern). + +## Consequences + +### Positive + +- **The execution model is already enforced.** Ordered, replicated, reproducible + state transitions come for free; the `apply()` switch is exhaustiveness-checked + and non-determinism is pushed to leader-side builders. +- **Tamper-evident history = on-chain ledger.** `GET /audit` / `/audit/verify` + give a verifiable, replicated execution log per call, with no extra + event-sourcing infrastructure. +- **Exactly-once semantics = transaction nonce.** A replayed `requestId` returns + the cached result, preventing double-application of stateful operations. +- **Fault tolerance with no central DB.** Logic and state survive a minority of + node failures; there is no single database to lose. +- **Determinism forces clean architecture.** Pure state transitions separated + from effects mirror smart-contract best practice and are trivially unit-testable. +- **Cheaper and faster than a real blockchain.** No PoW/PoS, no gas market, no + global network; sub-second commits and optional linearizable reads. + +### Negative + +- **Not trustless / not BFT — the dealbreaker if trust-minimization is the goal.** + The leader builds every command and could forge `actor`/`timestamp`/`id`; + followers largely trust it. Any operator running modified `apply()` code + diverges silently. The `matchIndex` clamp in `replicateTo()` is the only + adversarial hardening. +- **Determinism is a convention, not a sandbox.** Nothing in the runtime prevents + `Date.now()`/`Math.random()` inside `apply()`; it would silently diverge + replicas (the worst class of bug). No metering, no static guarantee. +- **No gas / no resource metering.** A looping or over-allocating command blocks + the single-threaded apply path on every node, with no bound — it can halt the + cluster. +- **Mutable logic undermines immutability.** Deployed TypeScript can be changed + and redeployed across a restart. The audit chain records *that* a command ran + and its result, but not *which code version* produced it — "tamper-evident" + covers the data, not the logic. +- **Determinism excludes most real API work.** No external calls, randomness, or + wall-clock in `apply()`. Payment gateways, email, third-party reads need an + off-chain/leader-side oracle pattern — the genuinely awkward part of contract + development. +- **Single-leader writes + full replication.** Mutating calls serialize through + one leader (no parallel execution); every node holds the full in-memory state + and an unbounded audit log. Same scaling pain as a full blockchain node. +- **Schema/state migration friction.** State serializes as `RsmSnapshot`; + evolving its shape requires careful snapshot-format migration or `restore()` + breaks. + +## Alternatives considered + +- **Keep the conventional API-server model (imperative handlers over a shared + database).** Simpler for arbitrary side-effecting logic and large state, but + re-centralizes on one store and forfeits the replication, tamper-evident audit, + and exactly-once guarantees the substrate provides — the very properties that + motivate the contract framing. +- **Deploy on an actual BFT / smart-contract platform (EVM, Cosmos/Tendermint, + Hyperledger Fabric).** The right choice when trust-minimization across + distrusting parties is required, with structural determinism (sandbox), gas + metering, and code-committing immutability. Rejected as default here because it + is far heavier and unnecessary within a single trust domain, where CFT + audit + already meets the need at a fraction of the cost. +- **Hybrid: model only audit-critical, deterministic core logic as contracts and + keep side-effecting logic at the edge.** The pragmatic middle ground implied by + the guidance above; preferred over an all-or-nothing migration. diff --git a/docs/adr/README.md b/docs/adr/README.md index 36a1b46..92be3b7 100644 --- a/docs/adr/README.md +++ b/docs/adr/README.md @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ supersedes the old one rather than editing history. | [0014](./0014-opt-in-linearizable-reads.md) | Opt-in linearizable reads via ReadIndex | Accepted | | [0015](./0015-dynamic-cluster-membership.md) | Dynamic cluster membership via single-server changes | Accepted | | [0016](./0016-crash-consistent-snapshot-persistence.md) | Crash-consistent snapshot/log persistence and snapshot transfer | Accepted | +| [0017](./0017-application-logic-as-smart-contracts.md) | Deploying application logic as smart contracts on this framework | Proposed | ## Template From 7ad635e29203fde2cb5cf28c68414bfd9f43ddb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 10:09:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] docs: ADR-0018 on bringing blockchain benefits to backends natively (Proposed) Constructive counterpart to ADR-0017: a layered "deterministic core + effectful edge" design that delivers CFT availability, exactly-once, provable/tamper-evident audit and deterministic replay through ordinary backend code.

Rather than forcing backends to +become pure, **split the system in two and connect the halves with the log**: + +``` + Effectful EDGE Deterministic CORE Effectful EDGE (out) + (oracle resolution, → (consensus + audit + → (committed-intent + auth, validation) exactly-once, state) executor / outbox) + │ + ▼ + Read projections (CQRS) + rich queries, big data +``` + +The deterministic core gets the blockchain properties; the edges do the real +backend work; the committed log is the exactly-once, auditable boundary between +them. The existing seams (`Command`/`apply()`, the `Transport` and `RaftStorage` +interfaces, leader-side builders, `CommandMeta`, the audit chain, snapshots) are +the foundation this builds on. + +## Decision + +Adopt a layered "deterministic core + effectful edge" architecture and evolve the +framework along the following pillars. Each closes a specific ADR-0017 gap while +preserving a backend principle. + +1. **Module SDK (developer productivity).** Replace the four-touchpoint workflow + (extend the `Command` union, add an `apply()` case, add a leader-side builder, + wire a route) with one declarative unit: `defineModule({ state, commands, + queries, effects })`. Developers write **pure reducers** plus a schema; the + framework generates the namespaced command variants, the `apply()` dispatch, + REST routes + OpenAPI, and validation. The REST surface stays standard so + clients remain unaware they talk to a consensus cluster. + +2. **Determinism as a guarantee, not a convention.** Inject a deterministic `ctx` + (`ctx.now`, `ctx.random()`, `ctx.id()`) into every reducer, resolved on the + leader and baked into `CommandMeta` before the entry enters the log + (generalizing what `models/book.ts` already does for ids/timestamps). Run + reducers in a sandbox with frozen globals shadowing `Date`/`Math.random`/ + `crypto`, add a lint rule, and add a CI check that replays the log on two + nodes and diffs state hashes. + +3. **Effects and external I/O via committed intents (the unblocker).** Reducers + never perform I/O; they **return declarative effect intents** that commit to + the log as part of the deterministic result. After commit, a single designated + executor (leader or leased worker) performs the effect exactly-once keyed by + `requestId`, then feeds the outcome back as a new command. Consequences: the + replicated log *is* a transactional outbox (exactly-once, for free), and + inbound external data is resolved on the leader before entering the log + (leader-as-oracle), keeping replicas identical. + +4. **Scale without compromising consensus.** + - *Reads / rich queries / big data:* project the committed log into a queryable + read model (CQRS) — a derived, rebuildable cache, not a central database, so + ADR-0002 still holds and the log remains source of truth. + - *Writes:* partition into multiple Raft groups (multi-Raft), one per keyspace/ + aggregate, each with its own leader; cross-shard operations use a saga or 2PC + over groups. Small services stay single-group. + - *State > RAM:* swap the in-memory `Map` for a pluggable embedded LSM/KV store + behind the same interface (the `RaftStorage` seam); snapshots become store + checkpoints. + +5. **Auditability upgraded to real tamper-evidence.** Replace the linear hash + chain with a Merkle tree/accumulator (O(log n) inclusion proofs and a compact + root that can be externally anchored), and record a hash of the deployed module + code in a `DEPLOY` log entry referenced by each command's meta — so the audit + proves *which logic version* produced each result, closing ADR-0017's + data-but-not-logic gap. + +6. **Resource safety (gas analog).** Bound reducer execution with a deterministic + step/instruction budget (count operations, not wall-clock), validated on the + leader so over-budget commands are rejected before entering the log, plus input + size limits at the edge. No gas market — just a guard against a runaway command + halting the single-threaded apply path on every node. + +7. **Stay CFT, add accountability cheaply.** Sign commands with the originating + actor's key so the leader cannot forge `actor` in `CommandMeta`. Keep full BFT + (PBFT/Tendermint) as an optional swap behind the consensus seam, only if + multi-party trustlessness is ever required — not paid for by default. + +### Phased roadmap + +1. Determinism runtime + module SDK (pillars 1–2) — biggest DX/safety win, no + architecture change. +2. Effect intents + post-commit executor/outbox (pillar 3) — unblocks real + backend use cases. +3. CQRS read projections + pluggable state store (pillar 4) — queries and big data. +4. Merkle audit + committed code version + signed commands (pillars 5, 7) — real + tamper-evidence. +5. Multi-Raft sharding + step budget (pillars 4, 6) — scale and safety hardening. + +## Consequences + +### Positive + +- Blockchain benefits — CFT availability, exactly-once, provable/tamper-evident + audit with committed code versions, deterministic replay, a built-in outbox — + become available through ordinary-looking backend code. +- Each fundamental backend principle is preserved: productivity (module SDK), + side effects (committed intents), rich queries/big data (CQRS + pluggable + store), horizontal scale (read replicas + multi-Raft), schema evolution + (logged, auditable `DEPLOY` migrations), standard API contract (unchanged REST), + security/observability (kept at the edge, off the deterministic path). +- Builds on existing abstractions rather than replacing them; several pillars are + additive against current seams. + +### Negative + +- Materially larger surface area: a module runtime/sandbox, an effect executor, + projection infrastructure, multi-Raft routing, and a Merkle audit are each + non-trivial subsystems — well beyond a POC's current scope. +- The committed-intent/outbox model adds eventual-consistency semantics for + side effects (an effect runs after commit, asynchronously), which application + authors must reason about. +- Multi-Raft introduces cross-shard transactions (saga/2PC), the hardest part of + distributed data systems. +- Sandboxing and step-budgeting add per-command overhead and constrain what + reducer code may do. +- Signed commands and Merkle proofs add cryptographic machinery and key + management that the current trust-domain-internal model does without. + +## Alternatives considered + +- **Keep the framework as a focused POC and document the gaps only (ADR-0017).** + Lowest effort, but leaves the framework unusable for mainstream backend work; + this ADR is the constructive counterpart. +- **Adopt an existing platform instead of evolving this one** — an event-sourcing + framework (Axon, EventStoreDB) for the core, or a permissioned ledger + (Hyperledger Fabric) for the contract/audit properties.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements pillar 3: reducers emit declarative EffectIntents that land in a deterministic outbox; a post-commit EffectExecutor (the effectful edge) runs each effect and feeds the result back as a committed EffectResultEntry that replicas apply identically — "the replicated log is a transactional outbox." - EffectIntent gains onResult; OutboxEntry/EffectResultEntry/EffectHandler added. - ModuleHost: outbox keyed by idempotencyKey, recorded on apply (dedup), pendingEffects(), idempotent applyEffectResult() that dispatches onResult, outbox folded into snapshot/restore. - EffectExecutor.drain(): runs handlers with an in-flight guard, submits the result on success, leaves the effect pending for retry on failure. - Demo payments module (charge -> http effect -> settle). Exactly-once at the state level is enforced by three layers: outbox dedup on enqueue, idempotent applyEffectResult (first-applied wins), and the executor in-flight guard; handler execution is honestly at-least-once across restarts. Determinism preserved — the executor's resolveSeed() is the sole edge entropy site and its value is committed verbatim, so replicas converge. Review hardening: reserved __-prefixed module names rejected fail-closed, pendingEffects() returns cloned intents, seed-provenance comments corrected.

Odd levels promote the unpaired last node unchanged; leaves and internal nodes are domain-separated (0x00/0x01 prefixes, RFC-6962 style) to avoid second-preimage ambiguity. Canonical (sorted-key) serialization keeps hashing deterministic across replicas. - moduleCodeHash: a deterministic logic-identity hash over a module's name, version, and reducer sources. Honestly scoped as a POC stand-in for hashing the built artifact (omits closures/imports, formatting-sensitive). - ModuleHost stamps each applied command (200 and 500; not unknown-command 404s) into the audit with its module/command/actor/requestId/status/codeHash; audit folded into snapshot/restore under the reserved __audit key. Convergence test proves two independent hosts reach an identical audit root; a version or reducer-body change shifts the codeHash recorded in the leaves.

The idempotency check runs before dispatch, so a replayed requestId never re-runs the reducer. - RsmSnapshot carries optional module state (back-compat for module-free nodes); snapshot/restore round-trips it. - buildModuleCommand (runtime) resolves the seed leader-side, like models/book.ts. - Integration test: a 3-node cluster converges on identical module state AND Merkle audit root, proves MODULE idempotency, and proves the leader-resolved seed flows through the log (same id/timestamp on every node). The non-MODULE path is byte-for-byte unchanged; all 42 original tests still pass. Review fixes: gate the convergence wait on the last entry (race), and keep read-only module accessors from allocating a host on module-free nodes.

Honestly scoped as a static fn.toString() stand-in — bypassable by indirection, not a sandbox; strict:false opts a vetted reducer out. Covers command reducers only. - Deterministic resource bound: ModuleHost rejects a reducer's result with 413 when it emits more than maxEffects (16) effects or its next-state exceeds maxResultBytes (64 KiB). Computed from the reducer's own output via a canonical serializer, so every replica rejects identically — state/outbox untouched, audited at 413. (A preemptive CPU/step meter and a vm sandbox need a worker/vm and remain deferred.) - Extracts a single shared canonical-JSON serializer (canonical.ts) used by both the Merkle audit hash path (throw-on-undefined, byte-identical to before) and the size bound (drop-undefined), removing a drift hazard.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements the read-scaling half of pillar 4: a derived, rebuildable read model built from the committed module-command stream, answering rich/indexed queries the raw module state does not provide — without touching the consensus apply path. - defineProjection/ProjectionDefinition: a pure `on` fold over ProjectionEvents (committed commands as seen by the read side) plus named queries. - ProjectionHost: applyEvent, query, rebuild (full reset + replay), and snapshot/restore (documented as a cache warm-start, not a source of truth). - Demo noteIndex projection: indexes notes by actor (byActor/total/actors) — a query the flat notes array would need an O(n) scan for. The projection never sits on the apply path, never feeds back into the log, and depends on no ModuleHost internals — the log/ModuleHost remain the sole source of truth (ADR-0002 upheld). rebuild() proves the model is a derived cache: incremental view equals a from-scratch replay, and a polluted cache rebuilt from a different stream retains no trace of the old one. Pure folds give convergence. Cloning reuses the shared canonicalJson (no new serializer). Pluggable state-store backend (the state>RAM half of pillar 4) remains deferred.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements pillar 7: a module command is signed by the originating actor's key, and every node verifies it on the apply path, so a malicious leader cannot forge `actor`. Adds accountability without full BFT; fully backward-compatible. - signing.ts: ed25519 primitives (stdlib crypto) — generateActorKeypair, sign/verifyCommand over the canonical LOGICAL payload, and a KeyRegistry (actor -> authorized public key allowlist). verifyCommand returns false rather than throwing on malformed input, so a bad command is a clean 401, not a crash. - The signature covers { module, command, input, actor, requestId } but NOT the leader-resolved seed: the actor signs before the leader adds the seed, and the seed is non-security determinism. Every node rebuilds the same logical payload from the committed command + meta and verifies, so tampering with any signed field is rejected identically (401, no state change, audited) on all nodes. - consensus: optional sig?:string on the MODULE command (additive); RSM threads it to the host and exposes setKeyRegistry/registerActorKey. No registry ⇒ no verification ⇒ byte-identical legacy behavior (42 originals unaffected). - e2e: a signed counter.increment converges 200 on a 3-node cluster; a forged actor:'alice' command (wrong key / unsigned) is rejected 401 on every node. Documents that failure results (incl. 401) are cached under requestId, so a corrected retry should use a fresh requestId.

Additive and runtime-only; the consensus core is untouched and all 120 prior tests still pass. - stateStore.ts: StateStore interface + in-memory MemoryStateStore (the seam a persistent embedded KV/LSM drops into; snapshots become store checkpoints) + a copy-on-write StoreView. Iteration is always sorted (never Map insertion order) and reads are deep-cloned, so nothing leaks insertion order or a live reference — the determinism the cluster depends on. - keyedModule.ts: defineKeyedModule / KeyedReducer — mutations go through the StoreView; strict determinism lint applies as for whole-state modules. - ModuleHost is kind-aware: keyed modules get their own store; a keyed command commits its view only on a clean, in-budget return (throw / lint / 413 reject ⇒ zero writes), and keyed + whole-state modules coexist in snapshot/restore without colliding with the reserved __outbox/__audit keys. - Deterministic resource bounds for keyed commands: maxEffects, maxWrites (256), maxResultBytes, computed from the buffered writes after the reducer returns. - Demo accounts module (open/deposit/transfer) showing per-key access. Tests include a cross-incidental-order convergence proof: independent commuting commands applied in different orders reach a deep-equal store snapshot (the audit root legitimately differs, since the audit is order-sensitive by design).

Swapping the backend + * changes nothing above this seam. + * + * DETERMINISM (the non-negotiable, same rule as the consensus state machine): + * every observable store operation a reducer can see MUST be identical on every + * replica. Two consequences enforced here: + * - ITERATION ORDER is sorted by key, always. A `Map` iterates in insertion + * order, which differs between replicas that applied the same logical writes + * in a different incidental order — so `keys()/entries()/snapshot()` sort. + * - READS RETURN DEEP CLONES. A reducer must never receive a shared mutable + * reference into stored state: mutating it in place would (a) bypass the + * transactional commit/discard guarantee and (b) leak insertion-time identity. + * Every read clones, so the store is the sole owner of its records. + */ + +import { canonicalJson } from './canonical'; + +/** + * Deep-clone a serializable value.

Reducers must be self-contained arrow/function expressions (method-shorthand is rejected at registration). - defineModule(def, { sandbox, stepBudgetMs }) opts a module in; the host compiles its reducers once at register and dispatches them via the sandbox on the apply path WITHOUT a timeout, so the run stays a pure deterministic function of (state, input, ctx) — a wall-clock interrupt there would diverge. - The step/CPU meter is leader-side admission only: admit() dry-runs the reducer in the sandbox with a vm timeout against a CLONE (no mutation/effects/audit) and rejects a runaway (503) before it enters the log; followers trust committed entries are bounded (the CFT model). A reducer throw maps to 500 on both admit and apply. - Honestly scoped: vm is a determinism aid against careless reducers, NOT a security boundary against malicious code (Function/eval/globalThis remain reachable) — mirroring the M3/M5 caveats. Demo `compute` module included. Cross-realm note: the vm timeout error is duck-typed (ERR_SCRIPT_EXECUTION_ TIMEOUT), not instanceof, since it originates in the vm realm.

The cost is that an operation +spanning two shards is no longer a single atomic log append — it needs a +cross-shard transaction protocol. + +This ADR records the design for a multi-Raft *prototype* on top of the existing +runtime, and the decision to demonstrate cross-shard atomicity with a **saga** +(try/compensate) rather than blocking two-phase commit. + +## Decision + +Introduce a **shard router + per-shard Raft groups + a saga coordinator**, built +additively on the existing consensus core and runtime (no changes to `RaftNode`): + +- **Sharding key.** A deterministic function maps each command to exactly one + shard. For keyed modules (M8) the shard is derived from the record key + (`hash(key) mod N`, or an explicit range map); for whole-state modules the + whole module is pinned to one shard. The mapping is configuration, identical on + every participant, so routing is deterministic. +- **Per-shard groups.** Each shard is an independent Raft cluster — its own set of + `RaftNode`s, its own leader election, its own replicated log and `ModuleHost`. + A write to shard *s* is proposed only to *s*'s leader; shards commit in parallel. + Within a shard, every guarantee from M1–M9 still holds unchanged. +- **Shard router.** A thin front door maps an incoming command to its shard and + submits to that shard's current leader (forwarding as today). It holds no state + of its own — it is derivable from the shard map and each group's leadership. +- **Cross-shard transactions via saga.** An operation touching shards *A* and *B* + (e.g. transfer from an account on *A* to one on *B*) runs as an ordered set of + per-shard local steps, each with a **compensating** step. The coordinator + executes forward; on a step failure it runs the compensations for the steps that + already committed, in reverse. Each step and each compensation is an ordinary, + idempotent, single-shard command (so it inherits exactly-once via the requestId + dedup). This yields **atomicity by eventual compensation**, not isolation. + +### Why saga, not 2PC + +- Two-phase commit holds locks across shards for the duration of the transaction + and blocks if the coordinator fails mid-commit — it trades availability for + isolation, which is at odds with the project's availability-first thesis. +- A saga keeps each shard independently available and uses the runtime's existing + idempotency + audit to make steps safe to retry and compensations safe to + replay. It surfaces intermediate states (no isolation), which is the accepted + trade-off and is exactly what the hash-chained audit is there to record. + +## Consequences + +### Positive + +- Writes to different shards commit in parallel — throughput scales with shard + count instead of being pinned to one leader. +- State is partitioned, so no single node must hold the whole dataset. +- Built additively: each shard is just an existing single-group cluster, so all + per-shard correctness (determinism, snapshots, signed commands, sandbox, audit) + carries over untouched. +- The saga steps are ordinary signed/audited module commands, so a cross-shard + transaction is itself fully audit-traceable across shards. + +### Negative + +- **No cross-shard isolation.** A saga exposes intermediate states (the debit is + visible before the credit). Reads spanning shards can observe a partially + applied transaction; only per-shard linearizability is preserved. +- **Compensation, not rollback.** A failed cross-shard transaction is undone by + forward compensating actions, which must be designed per operation and be + idempotent — more application-author burden than a single-shard command. +- **Cross-shard ordering is not globally defined.** There is no single log across + shards, so there is no global total order; the per-shard audit roots no longer + compose into one root (a cross-shard transaction appears as correlated entries + in two audits). A global audit needs a separate cross-shard correlation id. +- **Resharding is out of scope.** Changing the shard count/map (rebalancing) is a + hard problem (key migration between groups) and is not addressed here. +- **Routing/membership complexity.** The router must track each shard's current + leader, and a client must retry across leader changes per shard. + +## Alternatives considered + +- **Stay single-group (status quo).** Simplest and globally ordered, but the write + bottleneck and whole-state-on-every-node limit are exactly what this addresses. +- **Two-phase commit / Percolator-style transactions.** Gives cross-shard + isolation (snapshot/serializable), but blocks on coordinator failure and holds + locks — rejected for the prototype in favor of availability; a real system might + layer a transaction protocol on top of the same per-shard groups later. +- **Single big Raft group with parallel apply.** Doesn't help: the bottleneck is + *ordering/commit* at one leader, not apply. +- **Hash- vs range-sharding.** Hash spreads load evenly but kills range scans; + range keeps locality but risks hotspots.
