Air
Rust background services for updates, downloads, integrity checks, authentication, indexing, health, and Vine IPC.
Air
Air is the Rust background-services element for Editor.Land. The source contains modules for updates, downloads, authentication, indexing, security, health, resilience, configuration, logging, metrics, and Vine IPC.
Air should be described as source-backed service plumbing. The public updater, release signing story, and installer distribution path are still being prepared.
Source Structure 🗺️
Confirmed source areas include:
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
Source/Binary.rs and Source/Binary/ | Daemon entry points and runtime wiring |
Source/Authentication/ | Authentication and credential-related work |
Source/Downloader/ | Download management |
Source/HTTP/ | HTTP client code |
Source/HealthCheck/ | Status and health reporting |
Source/Indexing/ | Workspace metadata work |
Source/Resilience/ | Recovery and restart coordination |
Source/Security/ | Integrity checks and security helpers |
Source/Updates/ | Update-check and rollout logic |
Source/Vine/ | Vine gRPC client stubs |
Responsibilities 🔌
- Checking update metadata where a build profile enables that route.
- Downloading files or release payloads through
Air’s downloader and HTTP code. - Verifying file integrity through checksum-oriented security helpers.
- Reporting daemon health and runtime status.
- Running indexing work outside the active editor surface.
- Coordinating with
MountainthroughAirintegration andVineIPC.
Coming Soon 🚀
- Public release artifacts with published checksums and signatures.
- End-to-end staged update flow in a public installer.
- Release-channel documentation that names which
Airservices are enabled. - Platform service setup that is validated per operating system.
