orbit/proto
The Connect-RPC v1 contract between the agent, the
admin server, and the admin UI. Single source of truth:
nucleus/admin/v1/admin.proto.
Generated outputs
Both targets are committed, so a fresh checkout compiles without buf
installed; CI verifies that regeneration produces no diff.
gen/go/nucleus/admin/v1/— Go message structs and Connect-RPC service stubs, imported byorbit/agentandorbit/server.../ui/src/gen/nucleus/admin/v1/— TypeScript stubs consumed by the Connect-Web client in the UI.
Day-to-day commands
# Regenerate Go + TypeScript stubs (committed). Run after any .proto change.
make proto
# Lint with buf's STANDARD ruleset (plus documented exceptions for the shared
# Frame/Event/Snapshot types).
make proto-lint
# Verify nothing in this change is wire-incompatible vs main.
make proto-breaking
Evolution rules
The wire format is append-only. Before changing the proto, read EVOLUTION.md
in the module. Short version:
- Never remove fields, never reorder
oneoftags, never reuse field numbers. - A rolling update means old agents talk to new servers and vice versa, so every change must stay backward- and forward-compatible.
Version pins
buf.gen.yaml pins bufbuild/es:v1.10.0 and connectrpc/es:v1.6.1 because the
connectrpc/es buf-registry plugin has no v2 published yet; the npm packages in
the UI track the same line. When the v2 plugin lands, it is a small change here
plus a single npm install in the UI.
