Date: 2026-02-24 Status: ✅ Complete (Phase 1 — UI + Intent Infrastructure). Archived 2026-02-24. Related Plans:

• ../../graphshell_docs/implementation_strategy/2026-02-22_registry_layer_plan.md — Step 5.4/5.5 specifications
• ../../verse_docs/implementation_strategy/2026-02-23_verse_tier1_sync_plan.md — Verse access control model

Step 5.5 implements per-workspace per-peer access grants and the UI to manage them. This is the final piece of Phase 5 (Verse Tier 1 sync).

Phase 5 Done Gate: Two instances pair via 6-word code, sync bidirectionally, and enforce per-workspace access control. ReadOnly peers receive mutations but their mutations do not propagate.

• Status: Already implemented in SyncWorker (lines 412-417 in verse/sync_worker.rs)
• Check: Inbound SyncUnit for non-granted workspaces rejected → verse.sync.access_denied diagnostic
• Verification: See resolve_peer_grant() method in sync worker

• Status: Already implemented in SyncWorker (lines 420-425)
• Check: Inbound mutating intents from ReadOnly peers rejected
• Verification: SyncWorker rejects mutations on AccessLevel::ReadOnly peers

• Status: ✅ Implemented in render/mod.rs
• Features:
  • render_sync_panel() — Shows trusted devices list
    • Device name + truncated NodeId
    • "Manage Access" button → opens dialog
    • "Forget" button → ForgetDevice intent
    • Connected peer count
  • render_manage_access_dialog() — Per-device workspace grants
    • Lists all workspace grants (workspace_id → access_level)
    • Shows access icon: 🔒 (ReadOnly) or ✏️ (ReadWrite)
    • "Revoke" button → RevokeWorkspaceAccess intent
• Activation: graphshell://settings/sync URL opens panel
• Code paths:
  • app.rs:1033-1036 — show_sync_panel, show_manage_access_dialog fields
  • app.rs:3551-3570 — open_settings_url() handles /sync path
  • desktop/gui_frame.rs:1022-1025 — Render calls

• Status: ✅ Fully implemented
• Components:
  • Intent variant app.rs:968-969: GraphIntent::ForgetDevice { peer_id: String }
  • Handler app.rs:2190-2191: Routes to self.forget_device(&peer_id)
  • Method app.rs:4901-4907: Parses NodeId and calls verse::revoke_peer()
  • Verse API verse/mod.rs:848-864: Removes peer + persists trust store
  • UI Trigger: Sync Panel → device list → "Forget" button

• Status: ⚠️ Partial (Infrastructure ready, UI placeholder)
• Note: Tab right-click interception is complex (tab rendering happens in tile compositor)
• Alternative: "Share Workspace" button in Sync Panel (Phase 2 enhancement)
• Infrastructure Ready:
  • GraphIntent::GrantWorkspaceAccess app.rs:970-974
  • GraphIntent::RevokeWorkspaceAccess app.rs:975-978
  • Handler methods app.rs:4909-4940
  • Verse APIs verse/mod.rs:866-916

}

ForgetDevice (implemented):

GraphIntent::ForgetDevice { peer_id: String }

→ Handler: self.forget_device(&peer_id) → verse::revoke_peer(node_id)

GrantWorkspaceAccess (implemented):

GraphIntent::GrantWorkspaceAccess {
    peer_id: String,
    workspace_id: String,
    access_level: String, // "read_only" or "read_write"
}

→ Handler: self.grant_workspace_access(...) → verse::grant_workspace_access(node_id, ws_id, access)

RevokeWorkspaceAccess (implemented):

GraphIntent::RevokeWorkspaceAccess {
    peer_id: String,
    workspace_id: String,
}

→ Handler: self.revoke_workspace_access(...) → verse::revoke_workspace_access(node_id, ws_id)

All new methods in verse/mod.rs:

/// Grant workspace access for a peer (lines 866-893)
pub(crate) fn grant_workspace_access(
    node_id: iroh::NodeId,
    workspace_id: String,
    access: AccessLevel,
)

/// Revoke workspace access for a peer (lines 895-916)
pub(crate) fn revoke_workspace_access(
    node_id: iroh::NodeId,
    workspace_id: String,
)

Both update trusted peer's workspace_grants: Vec<WorkspaceGrant> and persist via save_trust_store().

Sync Panel [render/mod.rs:3317-3365]:

• Calls get_trusted_peers() → List
• For each peer: show name, device suffix (first 8 chars of NodeId)
• Buttons: "Manage Access" (toggle dialog), "Forget" (emit intent)
• Status: peer count, Verse initialized check

Manage Access Dialog [render/mod.rs:3367-3417]:

• Calls get_trusted_peers() again
• For each peer: group by device
  • For each grant: show workspace_id + access_level icon
  • "Revoke" button → emit RevokeWorkspaceAccess intent
• UI-only (no actual revocation in render); intent handling is in app layer

Rendering Calls [desktop/gui_frame.rs:1022-1025]:

render::render_sync_panel(ctx, graph_app);
render::render_manage_access_dialog(ctx, graph_app);

✅ No errors. Warnings are pre-existing (unused imports, etc.).

Step 5.1: Verse Init ✅

• Initialized on app startup, secret key stored in OS keychain

Step 5.2: Local P2P Sync ✅

• SyncWorker spawned by ControlPanel, QUIC endpoint active, mDNS discovery working

Step 5.3: Two-Way Delta Sync ✅

• SyncLog persists mutations, version vectors track causality, remote entries applied correctly

Step 5.4: Control Panel Integration ✅

• ControlPanel wired into Gui, workers supervised, toolbar indicator shows peer count

Step 5.5: Workspace Access Control ✅

• UI for grant/revoke implemented
• Intents wired end-to-end
• Verse APIs for trust store updates implemented
• ReadOnly enforcement already in SyncWorker

1. Workspace Sharing Context Menu (Phase 2)

   • Right-click workspace tab → "Share with..." submenu
   • Select peer + access level → emit GrantWorkspaceAccess intent
   • Requires integrating with tile compositor tab rendering

2. QR Code Pairing Flow (Phase 3)

   • Currently using mock 6-word code generation
   • Replace with actual QR code rendering + scanning

3. Conflict Resolution UI (Phase 4)

   • Show diverged nodes in conflict panel
   • Allow user to choose "keep remote" or "keep local" for each conflict

4. Version Vector Pruning (Phase 5)

   • Cap VV size, prune entries for peers not seen in 30+ days
   • Emit verse.sync.vv_pruned diagnostic

5. Relay Infrastructure (Phase 6+)

   • Currently using iroh's public relay (n0 operated)
   • Option to host dedicated relay for production resilience

• Access control enforcement happens in two places:

  1. Inbound: SyncWorker validates peer grants before applying remote mutations
  2. Outbound: (Future) LocalSync only records into logs for peers with grants

• Trust store persistence uses same encrypted store as version vectors (AES-GCM with key derived from device secret key)

• No conflict resolution in Phase 5; conflicts are detected but only logged. Phase 4+ adds UI.

• ReadOnly is mutation-blocking, not visibility-hiding. ReadOnly peers CAN see mutations from peers on a workspace; they just cannot propagate their own mutations to others on that workspace. This differs from encryption-based visibility, which is a future design decision.
