+## Key Capabilities
+
+- **Zero-State Edge Forwarders**: Windows (`Win_Client`) and Linux (`Linux_Client`) agents maintain zero local databases, zero cache files, and minimal memory footprint.
+- **Mutual TLS 1.3 (`:9443`)**: Enforces bidirectional cryptographic identity verification (`ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`) for all streaming log frames.
+- **Hierarchical PKI & Seat Licensing**: Subordinate CAs automatically enroll and sync seat quotas with the Master Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) over WebSockets.
+- **12-Hour Temporal Persistence**: Evaluates anomalies over a rolling 12-hour temporal window, tracking occurrence velocity and first/last seen metrics.
+- **Direct Hermes AI Provisioning (`:8443`)**: Exposes verified anomalous telemetry directly to Hermes AI via `/api/hermes/report` without heuristic bottlenecks.
+- **WebUI Dashboard**: Authenticated, 2-tab management console for live anomaly telemetry, client seat leasing, and Sub-CA lifecycle management.

-## Core Purpose & Philosophy
-
-### 1. Centralized Log Aggregation & Provisioning
-The foundational objective of LOGAR is reliable, secure collection and structured delivery of system events:
-- **Heterogeneous Fleet Aggregation**: Ingests Windows Event Logs (System, Application, Security) and Linux `systemd journalctl` events into a unified, normalized JSON data format.
-- **Centralized Provisioning**: Serves as the authoritative clearinghouse and real-time streaming endpoint (`/api/hermes/report`), providing structured logs with temporal metadata to external consumers and automated AI agents.
-- **Zero Local Edge Footprint**: Forwarders maintain zero local databases, zero cache files, and zero disk overhead. If a network disruption occurs, agents automatically re-establish mTLS streaming without state corruption.
-
-### 2. Direct Hermes Intelligence (No Heuristic Bottlenecks)
-LOGAR strictly separates **data aggregation/provisioning** from **semantic reasoning**:
-- **Removal of Arbitrary Heuristics**: The legacy 4-run throttling rule was eliminated. All ingested candidate logs (`INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL`) within the active 12-hour temporal evaluation window are immediately verified and provisioned.
-- **Hermes Autonomous Thinking**: **Hermes AI** performs all multi-factor reasoning, cross-server correlation, urgency prioritization, and automated remediation decisions directly on the provisioned log stream.
-
-### 3. Hierarchical Dynamic PKI & Fleet Licensing
-- **Authoritative Master PKI**: Subordinate server hubs do not require manual certificate generation or static keys. The **Master License Authority** (`logar.eibl.tech`) issues cryptographically signed Sub-CA certificates with custom X.509 seat quotas (`1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1`).
-- **Dynamic Seat Leasing**: Server hubs enforce local seat allocations in real-time, instantly revoking or admitting edge nodes while synchronizing with the central authority over bidirectional WebSockets.

-
-## Master License Authority & PKI Fleet Licensing
-
-### 1. TLS 1.3 Mutual Authentication (mTLS)
-- **Port 9443**: Ingestion occurs exclusively over TLS 1.3 sockets with `ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`.
-- Both the hub and edge clients verify each other's certificates:
- - Client verifies server certificate against `ca.crt`.
- - Server verifies client certificate against the Subordinate/Root CA.
-- **Client CN Identification & Revocation**: In the TLS handshake, the server extracts the `commonName` attribute (`client_id`), validates that the client is marked `active` in the `clients` table, updates the `last_seen` timestamp, and drops unregistered or revoked certificates immediately.
-
-### 2. Master License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`), Multi-Tenancy & Subordinate CA
-- **Master Root Authority**: Standalone PKI repository & submodule ([`LOGAR-LICENSING/`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/README.md), upstream at [`https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git`](https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git)) deployed at `logar.eibl.tech`.
-- **Multi-Tenant Fleet Isolation & User Management**:
- - Supports multiple isolated **Tenants** (e.g. `DEFAULT`, `CORP_A`, `PRODUCTION_FLEET`) with live tenant filtering.
- - Built-in user management with PBKDF2 password hashing, RBAC (Administrators & Operators), and self-service password updates.
-- **Custom Enterprise X.509 OIDs**:
- - `OID_LOGAR_SEATS (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1)`: Embeds the exact licensed seat quota directly inside the signed Subordinate CA certificate.
- - `OID_LOGAR_LICENSE_ID (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.2)`: Uniquely tracks enterprise license entitlement.
- - `OID_LOGAR_ISSUER_URL (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.3)`: Embedded endpoint coordinate (`https://logar.eibl.tech`).
-- **Bootstrap `.lic` Packages & Instant WebSocket Auto-Enrollment**:
- - The License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) generates initial **Bootstrap `.lic` Packages** containing Master Root CA, dedicated communication credentials (`communication_cert` + `communication_key`), CSR templates, assigned tenant, and WebSocket coordinates bound directly to the authority server host.
- - **1-Click Import & Live Signing**: Importing the `.lic` file on the client server (`python src/Server.py --import-lic ` or via WebUI) connects directly via **WebSocket**, submits the server Sub-CA CSR, and immediately installs the officially signed Sub-CA license certificate.
-- **Self-Updating Client Servers & Live WebSocket Sync**:
- - Client servers update themselves against the master authority (`wss://logar.eibl.tech/ws/license`) over WebSocket (`python src/Server.py --sync-license` or via WebUI / automated watchdog).
- - Seat quotas can be increased with each renewal or updated on-demand in the License Authority WebUI.
- - The client server automatically receives the updated seat quota in its signed certificate, updates its SQLite database and runtime configuration, and reloads its in-flight `ssl.SSLContext` without dropping client connections or restarting services.
-- **Automated Container Pipeline & Ephemeral NPM Pass-Through**:
- - The license authority repository includes a dedicated CI/CD workflow ([`.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml)) publishing to `gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/logar-licensing:latest` (authenticated via `giteatoken` secret).
- - Works seamlessly with ephemeral Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) by enabling the standard **Websockets Support** toggle for `logar.eibl.tech`.
- - Admin WebUI is protected by authenticated login with user and tenant administration.
-
-### 3. Integrated Fleet Licensing & WebUI Dashboard
-- **WebUI URL**: Accessible at `http://:8443/webui` (or `/`). Protected by authenticated session login (`/login`).
-- **Tab 1: π Active Anomalies & Telemetry**:
- - Real-time tabular stream of verified anomalies within the active 12-hour evaluation window.
- - Interactive search filter and Hermes AI status metrics.
- - **Visual Seat Quota Meter**: Real-time progress bar displaying active forwarders vs. allocated seat limit.
- - **Seat Management & Revocation Table**: Lists all connected Windows and Linux edge forwarders with 1-click **Revoke Seat**, **Reactivate Seat**, and **Export Client Configuration** actions.
-- **Tab 2: π Sub-CA & Licensing**:
- - Dedicated PKI and Subordinate CA lifecycle management interface.
- - Displays Master Authority WebSocket status (`logar.eibl.tech`), hardware fingerprint, and embedded seat quota.
- - **Licensing Actions**:
- - 1-click **Export .lic Request** file download.
- - Interactive **View & Copy CA CSR** modal.
- - Drag-and-drop or paste **Import License (.lic / ca.crt)** modal.
- - **Sync & Renew via WebSocket** button for immediate upstream synchronization and seat expansion.
-
-### 4. Cloud-Side In-Flight Certificate Watchdog
-- **Continuous Hub PKI Watchdog**:
- - The server hub runs a continuous background watchdog coroutine (`cert_validity_watchdog`, running every 12 hours).
- - Automatically renews Subordinate CA certificates over mTLS with `logar.eibl.tech` and Server TLS certificates in-flight, dynamically reloading the active `ssl.SSLContext`.
-- **Client Proactive Check & Reactive Self-Healing**:
- - **Proactive Renewal**: Edge clients inspect `client.crt` before every run cycle. If expiring within 30 days, they contact `/api/client/enroll` to renew.
- - **Reactive Self-Healing**: If the server CA rotates or a handshake error occurs, edge clients catch the exception, re-bootstrap enrollment against the hub, and re-establish streaming cleanly.
-
----
-
-## Cloud-Side Temporal Persistence & Direct Hermes Reasoning
-
-Incoming candidate logs are tracked in SQLite table `active_issues`:
-- **Issue Fingerprint**: Formatted as `{site_name}:{server}:{signature}`.
-- **12-Hour Evaluation Window**:
- - The hub compares `(now - last_seen)`.
- - If more than 12 hours have elapsed since the issue was last recorded, the previous window expires and the cycle resets to `run_count = 1`.
-- **Direct Verification & Temporal Telemetry**:
- - Ingested anomalies are immediately promoted to `VERIFIED` and made available to Hermes with complete temporal metadata (first seen, last seen, consecutive run counts).
- - Hermes performs all contextual analysis, pattern recognition, and alerting logic.
-
----
-
-## Agentic Hermes & Client Management API
-
-The server hub exposes a management and reporting REST API (default port `8443`):
-
-### `POST /api/client/enroll`
-Client enrollment endpoint:
-- **Request**:
- ```json
- {
- "client_id": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
- "hostname": "web-worker-01",
- "os": "linux",
- "enrollment_secret": ""
- }
- ```
-- **Response**:
- ```json
- {
- "ca_cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...",
- "client_cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...",
- "client_key": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n..."
- }
- ```
-
-### `GET /api/clients`
-Returns seat quota status and registered client telemetry *(Requires Administrator session cookie or Bearer auth)*:
-```json
-{
- "active_seats": 2,
- "max_seats": 10,
- "clients": [
- {
- "client_id": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
- "hostname": "web-worker-01",
- "os_type": "linux",
- "cert_fingerprint": "7D5B660B...",
- "status": "active",
- "first_seen": "2026-09-04 18:00:00",
- "last_seen": "2026-09-04 19:15:00"
- }
- ]
-}
-```
-
-### `GET /api/hermes/report`
-Returns all **verified anomalies** within the active 12-hour evaluation window with full temporal metadata for direct Hermes reasoning:
-```json
-[
- {
- "fingerprint": "corp.internal:web-worker-01.corp.internal:PostgresPoolExhausted",
- "site": "corp.internal",
- "server": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
- "signature": "PostgresPoolExhausted",
- "severity": "WARNING",
- "message": "Connection pool saturated (>95%)",
- "os_type": "linux",
- "first_seen": "2026-09-04T07:00:00+00:00",
- "last_seen": "2026-09-04T19:00:00+00:00",
- "consecutive_runs": 4,
- "evaluation_window": "12h",
- "verified": true,
- "status": "VERIFIED"
- }
-]
-```
-
-### `GET /api/hermes/all`
-Diagnostic endpoint listing all tracked anomalies in SQLite *(Requires Administrator auth)*.
-
-### `POST /api/auth/login` & `POST /api/auth/logout`
-Session authentication endpoints for Administrator WebUI access.
-
-### `GET /health`
-Returns hub health, encryption fingerprint, listener ports, and mTLS status.
-
----
-
-## Dynamic Machine & Domain Identification
-
-Client configurations intentionally contain **no hardcoded machine name or site name**. Both forwarders dynamically identify their host and domain at runtime via `get_machine_identifier()`:
-1. **Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)**: Checked via `socket.getfqdn()`.
-2. **OS-Specific Domain Discovery**:
- - **Windows**: Checks Active Directory environment variables (`USERDNSDOMAIN`, `USERDOMAIN`).
- - **Linux**: Parses `/etc/resolv.conf` `domain` and `search` directives.
-3. **Reverse DNS Lookup**: Resolves canonical hostname via `socket.gethostbyaddr`.
-4. **Fallback**: Local hostname `socket.gethostname()`.
-
-The server automatically infers site attribution from domain qualifiers (e.g. `node01.corp.internal` $\rightarrow$ site `corp.internal`).
-
----
-
-## Automated Service Installers (Linux & Windows)
-
-LOGAR provides production-grade installation scripts and installer builders for automated service deployment:
-
-### 1. Linux Service Installers
-- **Client Installer (`compilation/install_linux_client.sh`)**:
- - Non-interactive script deploying to `/opt/logar-client`.
- - Automatically queries `/etc/machine-id` and enrolls with the hub via `curl`.
- - Installs and enables `logar-client.service` systemd unit.
- ```bash
- sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://hub.example.com:8443" ""
- ```
-- **Server Installer (`compilation/install_linux_server.sh`)**:
- - Deploys server to `/opt/logar-server`.
- - Configures logging and installs `logar-server.service` with `LimitNOFILE=65536`.
- ```bash
- sudo ./compilation/install_linux_server.sh
- ```
-
-### 2. Windows Inno Setup Installers
-- Built using **Inno Setup 6** and bundled with **NSSM** (`compilation/nssm.exe`):
- - **Client Setup (`compilation/installer_client.iss`)**: Compiles `LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe`. Installs `Win_Client.exe` into `{autopf}\LOGAR`, sets up `LOGAR_Client` service via NSSM with stdout/stderr redirection to `{commonappdata}\LOGAR\client.log`, and starts the service. Clean uninstallation stops and removes the service.
- - **Server Setup (`compilation/installer_server.iss`)**: Compiles `LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`. Installs `Server.exe` and sets up `LOGAR_Server` Windows service via NSSM.

-## Getting Started & Deployment
+## Quick Start
### 1. Central Server Hub
-1. **Install dependencies**:
- ```bash
- pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt
- ```
-2. **Start the server** (generates `server_config.json`, Root CA, and server certs on first run):
- ```bash
- python src/Server.py
- ```
-3. **Export a client configuration**:
- ```bash
- python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
- ```
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt
-### 2. Windows Client Deployment
-1. Download `LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe` from releases and run it, or place `Win_Client.exe` and `client_config.json` in `C:\Program Files\LOGAR`.
-2. On first run with `client_config.json`, `Win_Client.exe` automatically enrolls with the hub, receives its mTLS certificates, and establishes secure streaming.
+# Start Server (Generates initial keys and server_config.json on first run)
+python src/Server.py
-### 3. Linux Client Deployment
-1. Run the automated installer:
- ```bash
- sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://:8443" ""
- ```
-2. The installer enrolls the client, configures `/etc/logar/certs` (with `chmod 700`), and activates `logar-client.service`.
+# WebUI available at: http://:8443/webui (Default: admin / admin_logar_2026!)
+```
+
+### 2. Linux Client Deployment
+
+```bash
+sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://:8443" ""
+```
+*Enrolls client certificates to `/etc/logar/certs`, writes configuration, and enables `logar-client.service`.*
+
+### 3. Windows Client Deployment
+
+1. Download and run `LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe` from [Releases](https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR/releases).
+2. Place `client_config.json` (exported from Server WebUI) into `C:\Program Files\LOGAR\client_config.json`.
+3. The `LOGAR_Client` Windows service starts and auto-enrolls immediately.

+## Ports & REST API Summary
+
+| Port | Protocol | Service | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **`9443`** | `TCP / TLS 1.3` | **mTLS Log Ingestion** | Mutual TLS socket listener for edge forwarders |
+| **`8443`** | `HTTP / REST` | **Management & Hermes API** | WebUI, forwarder enrollment, seat management, and AI reports |
+
+### Core Endpoints
+
+- **`POST /api/client/enroll`**: Forwarder auto-enrollment and proactive certificate renewal.
+- **`GET /api/clients`**: Returns active seat quota and registered edge forwarder telemetry *(Admin Auth)*.
+- **`GET /api/hermes/report`**: Structured JSON anomaly stream for Hermes AI reasoning.
+- **`POST /api/license/sync`**: Triggers immediate WebSocket sync with `logar.eibl.tech` *(Admin Auth)*.
+- **`GET /health`**: Server health, encryption fingerprint, and mTLS status.
+
+---
+
+## Testing & Cross-Compilation
-### 1. Component Unit Tests
```bash
+# Run full unit test suite (35 tests)
python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
-```
-Runs all **35 unit tests**, covering:
-- Dynamic Root CA generation and server TLS certificate issuance.
-- Dynamic client certificate issuance with CN and authority key extensions.
-- Enrollment secret authentication, seat limits, and certificate revocation.
-- Proactive certificate validity checks, Root CA auto-renewal, and in-flight server SSLContext reload.
-- Subordinate CA CSR generation, WebSocket enrollment, and dynamic seat quota updates.
-- Administrator session authentication, PBKDF2 hashing, and Hermes Bearer token lifecycle.
-- Windows & Linux event log collection, deduplication, and mTLS certificate verification.
-- 12-hour evaluation window and direct Hermes anomaly verification.
-### 2. End-to-End Pipeline Integration Test
-```bash
-# 1. Initialize test configuration
-python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host 127.0.0.1 --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
-
-# 2. Launch server in background
-python src/Server.py &
-
-# 3. Run integration test
+# Run end-to-end mTLS pipeline integration test
python tests/test_pipeline.py
+
+# Cross-compile native Linux and Windows binaries on Linux runner
+python compilation/package_dist.py --target all
```
-Tests client enrollment, secret rejection, mTLS TLS 1.3 socket handshake, direct warning promotion, immediate error promotion, and Hermes report output.

-## Releases & Binary Distribution
+## Documentation & Deep Dives
-Releases are cross-compiled and published through automated or manual triggers:
+For in-depth operational guides, lifecycle state machines, and PKI specifications, consult the **[LOGAR Gitea Wiki](https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR/wiki)**:
-### 1. Tag Push Automation (Gitea Actions)
-Pushing a release tag automatically triggers the build workflow:
-```bash
-git tag v3.0.1
-git push origin v3.0.1
-```
-The consolidated workflow **`release.yml`** runs on a single Ubuntu runner (`ubuntu-latest`) using cross-compilation (`python compilation/package_dist.py --target all`):
-- **Linux Binaries**: Native ELF standalone executables (`Linux_Client.bin`, `Server.bin`).
-- **Windows Executables & Bundles**: Cross-compiled standalone binaries (`Win_Client.exe`, `Server.exe`) and `.zip` distribution packages.
-- **Automated Checksums & Publishing**: Generates `sha256sums.txt` and publishes all release assets and release notes directly to Gitea.
-
-### 2. Manual Workflow Dispatch (Gitea UI)
-Workflows can be manually triggered on demand from the Gitea web interface:
-1. Navigate to **Actions** $\rightarrow$ **Release Binaries & Installers** (`release.yml`).
-2. Click **Run workflow**, set the release tag (defaults to `v3.0.1`), and run.
-
-### 3. Local Native Build & Direct Release Upload
-To build and upload binaries locally from an administrative workstation:
-```powershell
-# 1. Build binaries locally (windows, linux, or all)
-python compilation/package_dist.py --target all
-
-# 2. Upload assets and release notes directly to the Gitea release
-python compilation/upload_release.py --tag v3.0.1 --token --skip-build
-```
