The operator ran the documented command and hit the fail-fast (no wallet exists on a fresh machine) — correct behavior, useless instruction. seal_demo_wallet() now seals a throwaway DEMO wallet (fake shell-stub members, DEMO-labeled fields, temp dir named warden-DEMO-*, sample incident/refusal/airgap so every view has content); 'pacta wallet cockpit --demo' serves it. Exactly one of --wallet/--demo required. Verified by running the literal command: all five views 200, demo quorum renders. Suite 130 -> 131. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# The custody cockpit — a read-only surface for the human operator
|
|
|
|
`pacta wallet cockpit --wallet <dir>` serves a local web UI
|
|
(default `http://127.0.0.1:8471`) over an existing warden wallet.
|
|
warden has always been agent-native (MCP) and CLI-native; the cockpit is
|
|
the third surface — for the human who ultimately answers for the money.
|
|
|
|
## The design law
|
|
|
|
**The cockpit renders evidence; it never asserts it.** Every panel is
|
|
recomputed at request time by the same functions the wallet itself uses
|
|
(`Wallet.posture()`, `Wallet.verify_ledger()`, directory listings,
|
|
`transparency.verify_receipt`), and every panel carries a provenance
|
|
line naming the function and the timestamp. Anything that cannot be
|
|
recomputed renders as a loud red FAILED-TO-VERIFY panel. There is no
|
|
cached green and no neutral gray — a cockpit that shows unverified green
|
|
lights would be the anti-warden.
|
|
|
|
## The read-only guarantee
|
|
|
|
The cockpit cannot approve, sign, unlatch, or modify custody state. It
|
|
calls only read paths; the one POST route (the receipt inspector) parses
|
|
submitted artifacts in memory and throwaway temp files, never near the
|
|
wallet directory. `tests/test_walletui.py` asserts this at the byte
|
|
level: a full request sweep, POST included, leaves every file in the
|
|
wallet directory hash-identical. Human approve/deny is deliberately NOT
|
|
here — that would be a custody-semantics change, which belongs to a
|
|
separate, explicitly reviewed milestone.
|
|
|
|
## The four views
|
|
|
|
| view | shows | recomputed by |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Posture** (`/`) | custody latch state, ledger head with full hash-chain re-verification, the pinned quorum members (backend, component, tier, source commit, binary hash), spending policy verbatim, incident/refusal counts | `Wallet.posture()` / `Wallet.verify_ledger()` |
|
|
| **Signature queue** (`/queue`) | parked airgap signing requests (outbox) and whether the device has answered (inbox) — observed, never operated | airgap outbox/inbox listing |
|
|
| **Incidents & refusals** (`/incidents`) | incident records and signed refusal receipts, verbatim, newest first | `incidents/*.json`, `receipts/*.json` |
|
|
| **Estate map** (`/estate`) | the whole endeavour — every repo, service, mirror, loop — with RUNTIME on every entity (always-on / on-demand / not-running / static) | rendering of ESTATE.md's model (drift-guarded by test) |
|
|
| **Receipt inspector** (`/inspect`) | paste an attestation + transparency receipt + log public key; the verdict, per-signature results, and diagnostics come verbatim from the deployed verifier | `pacta.transparency.verify_receipt` |
|
|
|
|
Every panel also states what it does **not** prove (e.g. the quorum
|
|
table says binary hashes are pinned but source-to-binary correspondence
|
|
is out of scope until reproducible builds).
|
|
|
|
## Serving
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacta wallet cockpit --demo # no wallet yet? throwaway
|
|
# DEMO wallet, custody-inert
|
|
pacta wallet cockpit --wallet ~/my-wallet # 127.0.0.1:8471
|
|
pacta wallet cockpit --wallet ~/my-wallet --port 9000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Uninstalled, from the repo root:
|
|
`PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python3 -m pacta wallet cockpit --demo`.)
|
|
|
|
The server binds localhost by default and is not meant to be exposed;
|
|
there is no authentication because there is nothing to operate.
