Federation ops

Software v1.35.0 ships federation doctor, gossip export/import, multi-node sim, and kit. One clinic download becomes the school library overnight - open packs only. Not free commercial broadband.

Honest rails

Sim federation copies files in-process. Real multi-village exchange still needs unlicensed mesh day-one (or USB gossip) after a spectrum check. Open/PD content only. Never commercial decrypt or free Starlink claims.

Operator commands

# Readiness
python -m skycache federation doctor

# Local gossip stats
python -m skycache federation status

# USB/mesh handoff of catalog metadata (+ packages if peer content shared)
python -m skycache federation export-gossip --out data/federation/gossip.json
python -m skycache federation import-gossip data/federation/gossip.json \
  --peer-content /path/to/peer/content

# Multi-node lab sim + receipt
python -m skycache federation sim --nodes 2 --rounds 1

# Partner USB kit
python -m skycache federation kit --out data/federation-kit

Bandwidth notes

  • Large catalogs auto-compact works_manifest (>200 works)
  • Use --compact / --full on export-gossip to force wire size
  • Optional --max-tier to gossip foundational works first
  • Pair with village-day for weekend stand-up of each hub
