# /system/configuration/protocol.csv — who may claim, and who may reach, a name
# under /protocol (docs/os-development/protocol-namespace.md).
#
# init is the registrar: it serves /protocol, and every bind AND every open is
# checked against this file. It is AUTHORITATIVE — a name no row grants cannot be
# bound or reached, and a missing file means nothing may be bound or reached at
# all.
#
# A refused open is answered exactly as a name nobody bound is: -ENOENT, and no
# capability. That is not politeness, it is the model — the namespace IS the
# restriction, so what a process may not open simply does not exist for it, and
# there is no "permission denied" for it to tell apart from "no such contract".
# Which is why a missing row here shows up as a client retrying forever rather
# than as an error: check this file first, and `readdir /protocol` second.
#
# '#' starts a comment (whole-line or trailing); blank lines are ignored.
# Whitespace around a field is trimmed, so columns may be padded. Four
# comma-separated fields per row:
#
# binary the claimant's binary path, exactly as the kernel stamped it at
# spawn (argv[0]) — unforgeable, read from the process records
# supervisor the authorized supervising TASK, written as the binary it runs —
# the path init was started as for its own services, the device
# manager's path for the drivers it starts. The one word that is not
# a path is 'kernel', because a kernel task has no binary; that is
# what the test harness's direct spawns look like.
# Matched by IDENTITY, not by spelling. Name alone is not identity —
# spawn is ungated, so a hostile process can start a granted binary
# itself and inherit its grants; and it can equally start its own
# instance of the *supervisor's* binary and have that spawn the
# granted one, at which point both names read correctly (the
# laundering deputy). So init also asks which task the supervisor
# is: 'kernel' means supervisor id 0, which only the kernel can
# confer; init's own path means this init; any other path means a
# task init spawned itself or one the kernel spawned. Task ids are
# monotonic and never reused, so an id cannot be borrowed.
# permission bind (provide this contract) | open (speak to it) |
# supervise (stand in someone else's chain — see below)
# name the contract, relative to /protocol
#
# A trailing '*' on any field matches any tail — how a subtree is granted whole.
#
# 'supervise' exists because attestation is one hop deep and the driver tree is
# three: the device manager starts the PS/2 bus, and the bus starts the keyboard
# and mouse drivers. Init never met the bus, so it cannot vouch for it by
# acquaintance — and it must not vouch for it by name, or the laundering deputy
# walks straight in. A 'supervise' row is the manifest saying it: a task running
# this binary, under this supervisor, may be the supervising task an 'open' row
# names, for this contract and no other. It grants the delegate nothing itself,
# and it is deliberately open-only — a delegate may vouch for what its children
# REACH, never for what they CLAIM, so every bind refusal is untouched by it.

# case asks for one it was not given, and is told there is no such thing).
