PointSav Documentation

The engineering library for the PointSav platform — operating systems and services for regulated businesses that own their data, their AI, and their record-keeping outright. Where the monorepo holds the code, this wiki holds the reasoning: architecture, services, security, and the governance commitments that bind future development.

How to install the development toolchain

The platform codebase is a Rust workspace. The development toolchain consists of the Rust compiler and standard Cargo build tools, plus the workspace commit helper that enforces staging-tier identity and SSH commit signing. This guide covers installing both, verifying the installation, and making your first test build.

For the broader workspace architecture, see Totebox orchestration as the development environment. For opening your first session after toolchain setup, see Open your first Totebox session.

Prerequisites

  • A paired device with INPUT-level access (see Pair a new device)
  • SSH access to the workspace VM (foundry-workspace)
  • A shell session on the workspace VM

Step 1: Install the Rust toolchain

The workspace uses a pinned Rust toolchain version specified in rust-toolchain.toml at the monorepo root. Install rustup, the Rust toolchain manager, if it is not already present:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After installation, source the environment file or open a new shell session. Rustup reads rust-toolchain.toml automatically when you enter a directory with one — no explicit version selection is needed.

Step 2: Verify the Rust installation

Run a version check from within the monorepo clone:

cd ~/Foundry/clones/<your-archive>/pointsav-monorepo
cargo --version
rustc --version

Both commands should print the pinned version from rust-toolchain.toml. If rustup reports that the toolchain is not installed, run rustup show to trigger the automatic install of the pinned version.

Step 3: Run a baseline build

Build the full workspace to confirm the toolchain is working end to end:

cargo build

A clean build on first run downloads and compiles all dependencies and may take several minutes. Subsequent builds are incremental. If the build fails with a missing dependency, install the named system library via the package manager (apt-get install <lib> on Debian/Ubuntu) and re-run.

Step 4: Verify the commit helper

The workspace commit helper (~/Foundry/bin/commit-as-next.sh) requires a working SSH agent with the staging-tier signing key loaded. Direct git commit is blocked by a pre-commit gate — all commits must go through the helper.

Verify the helper is reachable:

ls ~/Foundry/bin/commit-as-next.sh

Verify an SSH key is loaded:

ssh-add -l

If no keys are listed, add the staging key:

ssh-add ~/Foundry/identity/jwoodfine/id_jwoodfine

The commit helper alternates author identity between jwoodfine and pwoodfine automatically — no manual selection is needed.

Step 5: Run tests

Confirm the test suite passes before starting work:

cargo test

All tests should pass on a clean clone. A test failure before any local changes indicates either a stale clone or a build environment issue — check git status and compare the HEAD commit against the upstream staging branch.

Key takeaways

  • The toolchain version is pinned in rust-toolchain.toml; rustup reads it automatically
  • cargo build / cargo test / cargo clippy / cargo fmt are always allowed without approval
  • All commits use commit-as-next.sh; direct git commit is blocked at the pre-commit gate
  • An SSH key must be loaded in the agent before the commit helper can sign commits
