feat(daemon): pairing-based remote access (protocol v3) - #114
Conversation
Replace the code-as-identity model with explicit device pairing: - daemon identity: stable ed25519 keypair at ~/.config/kit/daemon/ identity.key; its public half IS the iroh endpoint id clients store - client identity: signing keypair at ~/.config/kit/remote/identity.key - host allowlist (~/.config/kit/daemon/authorized.json) and client host book (~/.config/kit/remote/hosts.json), 0600 atomic JSON stores - sidecar protocol v3: main-endpoint handshake authenticates by client signature (verified by Go via AUTH_REQUEST/AUTH_DECISION consultation, keyed by client nonce); new serve-pair/dial-pair modes run the pairing window on a bootstrap endpoint derived from a one-time code - kit daemon pair: 10-minute pairing window, accept/reject dialog on the host terminal (non-TTY always denies), one pairing burns the code - kit remote --pair <code> pairs and saves the host under a name; kit remote --host <name> reconnects codelessly; --remote removed - regression test for the stall/cap behavior kept green; store and identity unit tests added
Replace the code-as-identity model with explicit device pairing. The pairing code is now a one-time bootstrap secret for a 10-minute pairing window, and access itself is granted by a human accept/reject on the host terminal, persisted as revocable public-key credentials. - daemon: stable ed25519 identity (~/.config/kit/daemon/identity.key) whose public half is the iroh endpoint id clients store; client signing identity at ~/.config/kit/remote/identity.key - stores: host allowlist (authorized.json) + client host book (hosts.json), 0600 atomic JSON, fingerprint helpers - sidecar protocol v3: reconnect handshakes authenticate by client signature (ed25519 over a versioned transcript, verified in Go via AUTH_REQUEST/AUTH_DECISION consultation keyed by client nonce); new serve-pair/dial-pair modes run the pairing window on a bootstrap endpoint derived from the one-time code; deny paths finish the stream and hold it briefly so verdicts cannot be lost to connection teardown - kit daemon pair: 10-minute window, interactive accept/reject (non-TTY always denies), one pairing burns the code, --list/--revoke - kit remote subcommand: --pair <code> [--host name] pairs and saves, --host <name> reconnects codelessly, --list/--forget manage the host book; the --remote flag is removed (protocol never shipped in a release) and InitConfig skips loading for remote client flows - daemon status drops the code field; shows endpoint, paired clients, active sessions; structured auth logs (request/authorized/denied) Verified on two hosts (local + violet over ssh): pairing with accept, name prompt, codeless reconnect, directory picker, live agent turn, /quit ending only that session, and revocation with the designed 'client not paired' denial.

Inline comments:
In `@cmd/root.go`:
- Around line 187-188: Update the remote-subcommand detection in the root
initialization flow to parse global flags before identifying the selected
command, so remote commands bypass local configuration loading even when flags
such as --config precede remote. Add a regression test covering a persistent
flag before remote, including the --list invocation, and verify
InitConfigWithOptions is not reached for that path.
In `@contrib/kit-tunnel/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 838-842: Replace panic-based length validation in dial_host,
serve, and serve_pair with explicit 32-byte checks that call fail with the
existing error-reporting behavior for missing or malformed flags. Update the
endpoint ID and client seed conversions, plus secret_from_seed handling, while
preserving successful parsing and the existing dial_pair validation pattern.
- Around line 374-378: Ensure every exit path after inserting the correlation
key into pending removes it, including read_frame errors, malformed
authentication, and daemon-disconnect paths. Add an RAII/drop guard around the
pending entry in the handshake flow, and remove the redundant manual cleanup
from the timeout branch while preserving removal when an AUTH_DECISION is
successfully handled.
In `@internal/daemon/client.go`:
- Line 31: Update the PairOptions comment to state that Code is required,
replacing the claim that zero values are valid; leave RunPair and other behavior
unchanged.
- Line 115: Update promptHostName to accept ctx context.Context as its first
parameter and make its blocking ReadString operation stop when the context is
canceled. Pass the RunPair context into promptHostName while preserving the
existing prompt behavior for active contexts.
In `@internal/daemon/identity.go`:
- Around line 57-64: Update loadOrCreateSeed so any existing identity file,
including empty or truncated files, is treated as corrupt and returns the same
error instead of generating or overwriting a seed; only create a new seed when
os.ReadFile reports that the file does not exist.
In `@internal/daemon/pair.go`:
- Around line 160-166: Update the approval prompt read in the pairing flow to
consume a complete input line using bufio, preserving the existing
trimmed-string handling so the switch can match "yes" and other expected
responses. Add the required standard-library import and retain the empty-input
behavior.
In `@internal/daemon/protocol.go`:
- Around line 33-38: Update the protocol layout comments in
internal/daemon/protocol.go lines 33-38 to document AUTH_REQUEST as c_nonce(32)
| s_nonce(32) | client_pub(32), AUTH_DECISION as corr(8) | verdict(1) [|
reason], PAIR_REQUEST as c_nonce(32) | client_pub(32), and PAIR_DECISION as
corr(8) | verdict(1) [| host_endpoint_id(32)]. Also update the comment in
contrib/kit-tunnel/src/main.rs line 1121 to state ver(u16) | c_nonce(32) |
client_pub(32) | tag(32); no runtime or constant changes are needed.
In `@internal/daemon/server.go`:
- Around line 197-200: Update the malformed payload branch in the auth payload
handler to invoke the same denial/decision path as other invalid authentication
data and remove the corresponding entry from pendingAuths before returning.
Preserve the malformed-length warning and ensure the sidecar receives a
response, matching handleAuthRequest’s malformed-input behavior.
- Around line 57-60: Stop passing secretHex through TunnelOptions.Args in both
internal/daemon/server.go lines 57-60 and internal/daemon/pair.go lines 84-87;
update the StartTunnel integration to deliver the daemon and pairing key
material through a dedicated inherited file descriptor or another non-argv
channel, while preserving both tunnel modes’ existing behavior.
- Around line 179-183: Guard the malformed-payload path before slicing payload:
in the length check around decideAuth, call decideAuth with payload[:8] only
when len(payload) is at least 8, while preserving the existing malformed-request
logging and rejection behavior for shorter payloads.
In `@internal/daemon/store.go`:
- Around line 119-133: Update SaveHost to validate endpointID before
constructing or storing HostEntry: require exactly 32 bytes represented as valid
hexadecimal, return an error for invalid values, and only compute HostFP with
mustHexDecode after validation succeeds.
- Around line 321-333: Serialize the whole read-modify-write sequence in
TouchClient, AuthorizeClient, and RevokeClient with an exclusive lock on a
separate stable lock file, acquiring it before reading the allowlist and
releasing it only after the write completes. Do not lock the atomically replaced
allowlist path itself, and preserve existing error handling and update behavior.
In `@www/pages/advanced/remote-sessions.md`:
- Around line 16-17: Update the reconnect description near “No code is ever
needed again” to limit the claim to normal reconnects, while preserving the
documented behavior that deleting the host identity requires every client to
pair again.

Fixed (all 14 findings verified valid):
- root: flag-aware detection of the 'remote' subcommand so global flags
before it (kit --config x remote --list) cannot trigger local config
loading; regression test added
- sidecar: PendingGuard removes the correlation entry on every exit
path (map could grow unbounded on connect/hello/disconnect floods)
- sidecar: fail() with STATUS ERROR instead of panics on wrong-length
seeds, endpoint ids and client pubs
- sidecar: nonce-length comment fixed (c_nonce is 32 bytes; only the
decision correlation prefix is 8)
- daemon+sidecar: key material (daemon seed, pairing seed, client seed)
moved out of sidecar argv into the child environment (CWE-214: argv
is world-readable via ps)
- client: promptHostName takes ctx and honors cancellation; PairOptions
doc corrected (Code is required)
- identity: an existing-but-corrupt identity file is an error, never
silently regenerated (that would rotate the endpoint id and un-pair
every client)
- pair: approval prompt reads a full line ('yes' works)
- protocol.go + sidecar: layout comments corrected (corr(8) vs
c_nonce(32))
- server: short auth frames guarded; malformed auth payloads now answer
the sidecar and drop the stashed challenge (no sidecar timeout, no
map growth)
- store: SaveHost validates the endpoint id (64 hex) at the boundary;
allowlist read-modify-write serialized with a stable flock file so a
TouchClient can never resurrect a revoked client (CWE-367)
- docs: 'no code ever needed' wording limited to normal reconnects

feat(daemon): pairing-based remote access (protocol v3)
Description
Replaces the code-as-identity remote model with explicit device pairing.
Previously the 8-character code derived everything — endpoint identity,
discovery address, and auth secret — and stayed valid for the daemon's
lifetime, so a leaked code meant permanent access. Now:
iroh endpoint id; clients store that id at pairing time, and iroh's QUIC
handshake authenticates the host against it (no endpoint substitution).
pairing window (
kit daemon pair). It only makes the window reachable —a human still has to accept the request on the host terminal
(default reject; non-TTY contexts always deny).
(
kit remote --host <name>) authenticate by signature against a host-sidepublic-key allowlist — no shared secrets, immediate per-client revocation.
sidecar) via a stdio consultation protocol keyed by the client nonce.

Ctrl-]detach,
/quitper-session teardown) is unchanged.Type of Change
