Set up the protocol spec as an mdBook and add a GitHub Actions workflow that builds it on every push/PR and deploys to GitHub Pages on main. The repo is now both a machine-readable corpus and a browsable, searchable site. Structure changes (one-time, mechanical): - Rename the spec source directory from `spec/` to `src/` to match mdBook's default convention. All 21 chapter files move; their internal relative cross-links are unchanged. - Add `src/SUMMARY.md` as the mdBook table of contents, grouping chapters under Wire Format, Payloads, Cryptography & Identity, and Routing & Higher-Layer Protocols. - Add `book.toml` at repo root: title, author, search enabled, fold enabled, edit-on-GitHub links, navy theme. - Add `.github/workflows/mdbook.yml`: build on push + PR, deploy on push to main only (configure-pages + upload-pages-artifact + deploy-pages from actions/). - Add `/book/` to .gitignore. Reference updates so the old path is fully retired: - Every `spec_ref` in `corpus/**/*.json` rewritten from `spec/` to `src/` (54 files). - Schema description text and example path in `corpus/schema/test-vector.schema.json`. - `README.md`: prominent link to the published site near the top; "What's Here" updated for the new layout. - `CONTRIBUTING.md`: spec-editing instructions point at `src/` and note the SUMMARY.md requirement. - `CLAUDE.md`: directory-layout notes updated. CHANGELOG.md historical entries intentionally keep their `spec/` paths since those record what the paths were at the time of those commits. After this lands, the user needs to enable GitHub Pages in repo settings with source = "GitHub Actions" (one-time, manual). The workflow will then publish to https://swaits.github.io/meshcore-spec/ on every push to main. Verified locally: `mdbook build` produces a clean book/ tree with all 21 chapters rendered and the SUMMARY-driven sidebar populated.

# MeshCore Spec — Project Guide
|
|
|
|
## What This Project Is
|
|
|
|
A specification and conformance test suite for the MeshCore mesh networking
|
|
protocol. It contains:
|
|
|
|
1. RFC-style spec documents in `src/` (Markdown, using RFC 2119 language; this
|
|
is also the mdbook source root)
|
|
2. JSON test vector corpus in `corpus/`
|
|
3. Validation tooling in `tools/`
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- All binary data in JSON is uppercase hex (e.g., `"0D00EFBEADDE"`).
|
|
Whitespace in hex strings is allowed and stripped on parse.
|
|
- All multi-byte integers are little-endian unless explicitly noted otherwise.
|
|
- Test vector IDs use the format `{category}-{NNN}` (e.g., `ack-001`, `kiss-hw-003`).
|
|
- Spec sections are numbered `00-` through `20-` and use RFC 2119 keywords.
|
|
- The C++ reference implementation at github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore is the
|
|
source of truth for protocol behavior.
|
|
|
|
## Key Protocol Constants
|
|
|
|
- MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD: 184 bytes
|
|
- MAX_PATH_SIZE: 64 bytes
|
|
- CIPHER_MAC_SIZE: 2 bytes
|
|
- PATH_HASH_SIZE: 1 byte (default)
|
|
- PUB_KEY_SIZE: 32 bytes
|
|
- SIGNATURE_SIZE: 64 bytes
|
|
- MAX_TRANS_UNIT: 255 bytes
|
|
|
|
## File Organization
|
|
|
|
- `src/NN-topic.md` — Spec sections, numbered for reading order (mdbook root)
|
|
- `src/SUMMARY.md` — mdbook table of contents; new chapters MUST be added here
|
|
- `corpus/schema/` — JSON Schema for test vector validation
|
|
- `corpus/{layer}/{type}/` — Test vectors organized by protocol layer
|
|
- `tools/` — Python validation and generation scripts
|
|
|
|
## Working With Test Vectors
|
|
|
|
Each JSON file validates against `corpus/schema/test-vector.schema.json`.
|
|
Vector types: `encode_decode`, `decode_only`, `invalid`.
