Installation

pnpm add @unrdf/daemon

Quick Start

import { Daemon } from '@unrdf/daemon';

// Create daemon
const daemon = new Daemon({
  daemonId: 'my-daemon',
  name: 'My Daemon',
  concurrency: 5,
});

// Start daemon
await daemon.start();

// Schedule operation
daemon.schedule({
  id: 'my-task',
  name: 'My Task',
  handler: async () => {
    console.log('Task executing...');
    return { status: 'completed' };
  },
});

// Execute operation
const result = await daemon.execute('my-task');

// Stop daemon
await daemon.stop();

Core Components

Daemon Class

Main controller for managing scheduled operations and clustering.

Key Methods:

• start() - Start the daemon
• stop() - Stop the daemon
• schedule(operation) - Register an operation
• unschedule(operationId) - Unregister an operation
• execute(operationId) - Execute an operation immediately
• listOperations() - List all scheduled operations
• getHealth() - Get daemon health status
• getMetrics() - Get performance metrics

TriggerEvaluator

Evaluates events against trigger patterns and determines which tasks to execute.

Key Methods:

• registerTrigger(eventName, pattern, actions) - Register trigger pattern
• evaluate(event) - Evaluate event and get matched task IDs
• matches(event, trigger) - Check event-trigger match

Schemas

Comprehensive Zod validation schemas for configuration and operations:

• DaemonConfigSchema - Daemon configuration
• ScheduledOperationSchema - Operation definition
• OperationReceiptSchema - Operation execution record
• DaemonHealthSchema - Health status
• DaemonMetricsSchema - Performance metrics

Configuration

const daemon = new Daemon({
  // Core settings
  daemonId: 'unique-id',
  name: 'Human-readable name',

  // Network/server
  port: 8080,                    // Server port (default: 8080)

  // Performance
  concurrency: 10,               // Max concurrent ops (default: 10)
  healthCheckIntervalMs: 30000,  // Health check frequency
  metricsRetentionMs: 3600000,   // Metrics window size

  // Logging
  logLevel: 'info',              // Log level
  logger: customLogger,          // Optional custom logger

  // Optional: Retry policy
  globalRetryPolicy: {
    maxAttempts: 3,
    backoffMs: 1000,
    backoffMultiplier: 2,
    maxBackoffMs: 30000,
    jitterFactor: 0.1,
  },

  // Optional: Pre-registered operations
  operations: [...],

  // Optional: Environment variables
  environment: { KEY: 'value' },
});

Events

The daemon emits events for monitoring:

• daemon:started - Daemon has started
• daemon:stopped - Daemon has stopped
• operation:enqueued - Operation added to queue
• operation:started - Operation execution started
• operation:success - Operation completed successfully
• operation:failure - Operation failed

daemon.on('operation:success', event => {
  console.log(`Operation ${event.operationId} took ${event.duration}ms`);
});

Health & Metrics

Health Status

const health = daemon.getHealth();
// {
//   nodeId: 'node-xxx',
//   clusterId: 'cluster-xxx',
//   isRunning: true,
//   isLeader: false,
//   uptime: 12345,
//   activeOperations: 2,
//   queuedOperations: 5,
//   completedOperations: 42,
//   timestamp: Date
// }

Metrics

const metrics = daemon.getMetrics();
// {
//   nodeId: 'node-xxx',
//   totalOperations: 42,
//   successfulOperations: 40,
//   failedOperations: 2,
//   averageDuration: 156,
//   totalDuration: 6552,
//   successRate: 95.24,
//   timestamp: Date
// }

Testing

Run tests with:

pnpm test
pnpm test:watch
pnpm test:coverage

Security

API Key Authentication

import { createAuthenticator } from '@unrdf/daemon';

// Generate API key for production
const { authenticator, key } = await createAuthenticator({
  environment: 'production',
});

console.log('API Key:', key); // Distribute to authorized users

// Authenticate requests
const result = await authenticator.authenticate({
  headers: { 'x-api-key': providedKey },
});

if (result.authenticated) {
  await executeDaemonOperation();
}

Security Features:

• BLAKE3 cryptographic hashing (256-bit)
• Constant-time verification (timing attack prevention)
• Environment variable support (UNRDF_API_KEY)
• Comprehensive audit logging
• Graceful degradation (dev warns, production blocks)

See AUTHENTICATION.md for complete authentication documentation.

Security Validation

All daemon operations include:

• Input validation against injection attacks
• Secret detection in outputs
• Path traversal prevention
• Error message sanitization

See SECURITY_INTEGRATION_SUMMARY.md for security implementation details.

Integration Examples

import { DaemonDeltaGate } from '@unrdf/daemon';

const gate = new DaemonDeltaGate({
  receipts: true,
  validation: true,
  merkleProofs: true,
});

await gate.initialize();

const result = await gate.processDelta({
  operation: 'insert',
  triples: myTriples,
});

console.log('Receipt:', result.receipt);
console.log('Merkle Proof:', result.merkleProof);

YAWL Workflow Orchestration

import { createYawlIntegration } from '@unrdf/daemon';

const yawl = createYawlIntegration({
  daemonId: 'workflow-daemon',

    { id: 'parse', handler: parseRdf },
    { id: 'validate', handler: validateShacl },
    { id: 'store', handler: storeTriples },
