Phase 3 Verification Plan

Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETE

All Phase 3 code is implemented and builds successfully.

What Phase 3 Delivers

Dynamic Handler Discovery: Python plugin queries ATS store during initialization, discovers handler scripts saved as attestations, and announces them to Pulse for async execution.

End-to-End Flow

1. User creates handler via CLI
   └─> qntx handler create vacancies --code "print('Hello')"
   └─> Saved as attestation: Subject=vacancies, Predicate=handler, Context=python, Actor=vacancies

2. Server starts / Plugin initializes
   └─> Python plugin's initialize() queries ATS store
   └─> Filter: predicate="handler" AND context="python"
   └─> Extracts subjects[0] from each attestation (handler name)
   └─> Returns InitializeResponse{handler_names: ["python.script", "python.vacancies"]}

3. Server registers handlers with Pulse
   └─> server/init.go calls GetHandlerNames()
   └─> Creates PluginProxyHandler for each
   └─> Registers with Pulse worker pool

4. Job execution (future)
   └─> ix vacancies <args>
   └─> Pulse routes to python.vacancies handler
   └─> PluginProxyHandler forwards to Python plugin via ExecuteJob RPC
   └─> Plugin executes stored Python code

Verification Steps

1. Create Test Handler

./bin/qntx handler create vacancies --code "print('Hello from vacancies handler')"

Expected output:

✓ Handler 'vacancies' created
  ASID: <generated-asid>
  Subject: [vacancies]
  Predicate: [handler]
  Context: [python]
  Actor: [vacancies] (self-certifying)
  Attributes:
  {
    "code": "print('Hello from vacancies handler')"
  }

2. Start Server with Plugin

make dev

Expected log output:

[Python plugin] Initializing Python plugin
[Python plugin] ATSStore endpoint: localhost:877
[Python plugin] Discovering Python handlers from ATS store
[Python plugin] Discovered 1 handler(s) from ATS store: ["vacancies"]
[Python plugin] Announcing async handlers: ["python.script", "python.vacancies"]
[QNTX Server] Registering plugin async handler plugin=python handler=python.script
[QNTX Server] Registering plugin async handler plugin=python handler=python.vacancies

3. Verify Handler Registration

Check server logs for:

• "Plugin announced async handlers" with both built-in and discovered handlers
• "Registering plugin async handler" for each handler
• No errors during initialization

4. Test Multiple Handlers

./bin/qntx handler create test1 --code "print('test1')"
./bin/qntx handler create test2 --code "print('test2')"

Restart server, verify logs show all three handlers discovered: ["test1", "test2", "vacancies"]

Key Files

• Handler CLI: cmd/qntx/commands/handler.go
• Plugin Discovery: qntx-python/src/service.rs:78 (discover_handlers_from_config)
• Handler Announcement: qntx-python/src/service.rs:275-286 (in initialize())
• Server Registration: server/init.go:111-119
• gRPC Protocol: plugin/grpc/protocol/domain.proto

Success Criteria

✅ Handler creation works via CLI ✅ Handlers stored as attestations in ATS ✅ Python plugin queries ATS store on initialization ✅ Plugin correctly parses and returns handler names ✅ Server receives handler names via InitializeResponse ✅ Server registers handlers with Pulse worker pool ✅ All code builds without errors

Next Steps

After verification:

• Phase 4: Handler Glyph UI (create/edit handlers in Canvas)
• Phase 5: ATS parser integration (remove hardcoded git imports)
