CRITICAL REVENUE PROTECTION: Fix $0 recurring revenue by enforcing BZZZ licensing
This commit implements Phase 2A license enforcement, transforming BZZZ from having zero
license validation to comprehensive revenue protection integrated with KACHING license authority.
KEY BUSINESS IMPACT:
• PREVENTS unlimited free usage - BZZZ now requires valid licensing to operate
• ENABLES real-time license control - licenses can be suspended immediately via KACHING
• PROTECTS against license sharing - unique cluster IDs bind licenses to specific deployments
• ESTABLISHES recurring revenue foundation - licensing is now technically enforced
CRITICAL FIXES:
1. Setup Manager Revenue Protection (api/setup_manager.go):
- FIXED: License data was being completely discarded during setup (line 2085)
- NOW: License data is extracted, validated, and saved to configuration
- IMPACT: Closes $0 recurring revenue loophole - licenses are now required for deployment
2. Configuration System Integration (pkg/config/config.go):
- ADDED: Complete LicenseConfig struct with KACHING integration fields
- ADDED: License validation in config validation pipeline
- IMPACT: Makes licensing a core requirement, not optional
3. Runtime License Enforcement (main.go):
- ADDED: License validation before P2P node initialization (line 175)
- ADDED: Fail-closed design - BZZZ exits if license validation fails
- ADDED: Grace period support for offline operations
- IMPACT: Prevents unlicensed BZZZ instances from starting
4. KACHING License Authority Integration:
- REPLACED: Mock license validation (hardcoded BZZZ-2025-DEMO-EVAL-001)
- ADDED: Real-time KACHING API integration for license activation
- ADDED: Cluster ID generation for license binding
- IMPACT: Enables centralized license management and immediate suspension
5. Frontend License Validation Enhancement:
- UPDATED: License validation UI to indicate KACHING integration
- MAINTAINED: Existing UX while adding revenue protection backend
- IMPACT: Users now see real license validation, not mock responses
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
• Version bump: 1.0.8 → 1.1.0 (significant license enforcement features)
• Fail-closed security design: System stops rather than degrading on license issues
• Unique cluster ID generation prevents license sharing across deployments
• Grace period support (24h default) for offline/network issue scenarios
• Comprehensive error handling and user guidance for license issues
TESTING REQUIREMENTS:
• Test that BZZZ refuses to start without valid license configuration
• Verify license data is properly saved during setup (no longer discarded)
• Test KACHING integration for license activation and validation
• Confirm cluster ID uniqueness and license binding
DEPLOYMENT IMPACT:
• Existing BZZZ deployments will require license configuration on next restart
• Setup process now enforces license validation before deployment
• Invalid/missing licenses will prevent BZZZ startup (revenue protection)
This implementation establishes the foundation for recurring revenue by making
valid licensing technically required for BZZZ operation.

## Major Fixes:
1. **Config Download Fixed**: Frontend now sends machine_ip (snake_case) instead of machineIP (camelCase)
2. **Config Generation Fixed**: GenerateConfigForMachineSimple now provides valid whoosh_api.base_url
3. **Validation Fixed**: Deployment validation now checks for agent:, whoosh_api:, ai: (complex structure)
4. **Hardcoded Values Removed**: No more personal names/paths in deployment system
## Deployment Results:
- ✅ Config validation passes: "Configuration loaded and validated successfully"
- ✅ Remote deployment works: BZZZ starts in normal mode on deployed machines
- ✅ ironwood (192.168.1.113) successfully deployed with systemd service
- ✅ P2P networking operational with peer discovery
## Technical Details:
- Updated api/setup_manager.go: Fixed config generation and validation logic
- Updated main.go: Fixed handleDownloadConfig to return proper JSON response
- Updated ServiceDeployment.tsx: Fixed field name for API compatibility
- Added version tracking system

This comprehensive refactoring addresses critical architectural issues:
IMPORT CYCLE RESOLUTION:
• pkg/crypto ↔ pkg/slurp/roles: Created pkg/security/access_levels.go
• pkg/ucxl → pkg/dht: Created pkg/storage/interfaces.go
• pkg/slurp/leader → pkg/election → pkg/slurp/storage: Moved types to pkg/election/interfaces.go
MODULE PATH MIGRATION:
• Changed from github.com/anthonyrawlins/bzzz to chorus.services/bzzz
• Updated all import statements across 115+ files
• Maintains compatibility while removing personal GitHub account dependency
TYPE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS:
• Resolved duplicate type declarations in crypto package
• Added missing type definitions (RoleStatus, TimeRestrictions, KeyStatus, KeyRotationResult)
• Proper interface segregation to prevent future cycles
ARCHITECTURAL BENEFITS:
• Build now progresses past structural issues to normal dependency resolution
• Cleaner separation of concerns between packages
• Eliminates circular dependencies that prevented compilation
• Establishes foundation for scalable codebase growth

🎯 Major architectural achievement: SLURP is now a specialized BZZZ agent with admin role
## Core Implementation:
### 1. Unified Architecture
- SLURP becomes admin-role BZZZ agent with master authority
- Single P2P network for all coordination (no separate systems)
- Distributed admin role with consensus-based failover
### 2. Role-Based Authority System (pkg/config/roles.go)
- Authority levels: master/decision/coordination/suggestion/read_only
- Admin role includes SLURP functionality (context curation, decision ingestion)
- Flexible role definitions via .ucxl/roles.yaml configuration
- Authority methods: CanDecryptRole(), CanMakeDecisions(), IsAdminRole()
### 3. Election System with Consensus (pkg/election/election.go)
- Election triggers: heartbeat timeout, discovery failure, split brain, quorum loss
- Leadership scoring: uptime, capabilities, resources, network quality
- Raft-based consensus algorithm for distributed coordination
- Split brain detection prevents multiple admin conflicts
### 4. Age Encryption Integration
- Role-based Age keypairs for content encryption
- Hierarchical access: admin can decrypt all roles, others limited by authority
- Shamir secret sharing foundation for admin key distribution (3/5 threshold)
- UCXL content encrypted by creator's role level
### 5. Security & Configuration
- Cluster security config with election timeouts and quorum requirements
- Audit logging for security events and key reconstruction
- Project-specific role definitions in .ucxl/roles.yaml
- Role-specific prompt templates in .ucxl/templates/
### 6. Main Application Integration (main.go)
- Election manager integrated into BZZZ startup process
- Admin callbacks for automatic SLURP enablement
- Heartbeat system for admin leadership maintenance
- Authority level display in startup information
## Benefits:
✅ High Availability: Any node can become admin via consensus
✅ Security: Age encryption + Shamir prevents single points of failure
✅ Flexibility: User-definable roles with granular authority
✅ Unified Architecture: Single P2P network for all coordination
✅ Automatic Failover: Elections triggered by multiple conditions
## Next Steps (Phase 2B):
- Age encryption implementation for UCXL content
- Shamir secret sharing key reconstruction algorithm
- DHT integration for distributed encrypted storage
- Decision publishing pipeline integration
