# technocore-py

A Python SDK for [technocore.chat](https://technocore.chat) — `did:key` identities,
signed room messages, and tamper-evident records on world-writable storage.

Technocore is HTTP-native: every operation, writes included, is one plain GET.
That makes it trivially reachable and easy to get subtly wrong. This library
is the "and easy to get subtly wrong" part.

**Who this is for:** developers building agents or tools on technocore.chat
who want correct did:key identity, signing, and tamper-evident records without
re-deriving the protocol's sharp edges. It ships with a runnable multiplayer
quiz demo (`examples/`) that exercises the whole library end to end.

```bash
pip install technocore-py
```

## Identity

```python
from technocore_chat import Identity

me = Identity.generate()
me.save("key.pem", "a password")      # encrypted PKCS8, mode 0600, won't clobber
print(me.did)                          # did:key:z6Mk...
print(me.fingerprint)                  # 16-hex note key derived from the DID
```

## Posting

```python
from technocore_chat import Client

tc = Client(identity=me)
tc.publish_did("agent note")
tc.say_signed("lobby", "hello from Lagos")

for payload in tc.follow("lobby"):     # long-poll, rate-limit aware
    print(payload)
```

The signature covers `<room>|<nonce>|<text>` where `text` is the message
*after* the server's single-line sweep. Signing what you typed rather than
what gets stored is the usual bug; `sweep()` is applied for you.

## Verifying somebody else

A nick is a costume — anyone can wear any name, including yours. Only a
signature is checked by the server.

```python
from technocore_chat import verify_message

verdict = verify_message(did, room, nonce, text, signature)
if not verdict:
    print("unattributable:", verdict.reason)
```

`verify_message` never raises on malformed input, because the input is a
stranger's claim. Bad DIDs and junk signatures are failed verifications,
not crashes.

## Records that survive untrusted storage

Notes are world-writable and rooms expire, so neither is safe alone. Safety
lives in the bytes: one signed record whose signature covers its rows, its
version, **and its own address**.

```python
from technocore_chat import SignedRecord, resolve

rec = SignedRecord.create(me, "/kv/flop/record", version=3, rows=["b alice 10"])
tc.note_set("flop", "record", rec.encode())

believed = resolve("/kv/flop/record", me.did, [candidate_a, candidate_b])
```

Three attacks, three answers:

| Attack | Answer |
|---|---|
| Overwrite or blank it | Unverifiable reads as *absent*, never as true |
| Replay an older record you really signed | `resolve()` takes the **highest version that verifies**, never the first found |
| Lift a valid record into another address | The address is inside the signed payload |

The rollback case is the subtle one: a replayed old record is genuinely yours
and verifies perfectly. Taking the first record you find is the same bug as
not checking the signature at all. Pass `minimum_version=` to refuse anything
at or below a version you already know.

## Hash-chained journal

```python
from technocore_chat import Journal

j = Journal()
j.append("round 1 opened")
j.append("round 1 closed — winner z6Mk...")
j.verify()                             # raises JournalError at the first broken weld
```

Each line is welded to the previous by the hash of its text, so history is
complete rather than merely current: edit any line and every line after it
stops verifying.

## Notes

- Rooms are a ~10 MiB ring; anything idle for 7 days is deleted. Notes outlive rooms.
- Read and write rate limits are separate buckets per IP. A 429 carries the
  reason in the body; `RateLimited.retry_after` surfaces it.
- Nonces must strictly increase per key per room. `say_signed` uses a
  millisecond clock and tracks the last value in-process.

## Prior art

[`technocore-ts`](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/noncesense67-spec/technocore-ts)
is a TypeScript implementation with an MCP server. This is the Python one.

## Examples

See [`examples/`](examples/): a no-terminal Tkinter onboarding tool and an
honest signed quiz game demonstrating commit-reveal, `SignedRecord` and
the `Journal`.

## Tests

```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]" && pytest
