Myceliumd Network & Bridge Management — OpenRPC Spec (v1)
Overview
This specification defines Linux-only network management APIs for
myceliumd.The goal is to:
Design Principles
Linux-first (strict check, error if not Linux)
Idempotent operations
Explicit state visibility
Separation of concerns:
No shelling out → use netlink (Rust
rtnetlink)Strict IPv6 validation (400::/7)
Terminology
br-my-1)Supported Platform
Error (global)
Listener Policy
Defines how Mycelium decides what to listen on.

to test use /home/despiegk/hero/code/hero_skills/tools/modules/services/service_mycelium.nu
and /home/despiegk/hero/code/hero_skills/tools/modules/clients/mycelium.nu
need to test on root, these scripts give tooling for that so we can run mycelium on root and test the openrpc and bridges
Implementation Specification — Issue #39: Myceliumd Network & Bridge Management
Objective
Add a new Linux-only
network.*JSON-RPC namespace (9 methods) to the mycelium daemon exposing bridge, IPv6-address, and listener-management primitives built on thertnetlinkcrate. Methods must be served over the existing Hero UDSrpc.sock(viamycelium-api::rpc::unix) in both the public (myceliumd/) and private (myceliumd-private/) sub-workspaces, advertised in/openrpc.json, and callable from the two nushell test clients without modification of the client infrastructure.Requirements
network.namespace:getStatus,listBridges,ensureBridge,deleteBridge,listAddresses,addAddress,removeAddress,getListeners,setListenerPolicy.-1900 PLATFORM_UNSUPPORTED) from everynetwork.*method;getStatusstill returns the platform field.rtnetlink(already a transitive dep). Never shell out toip.400::/7for add/remove.ensureBridge,addAddress).Arc<Mutex<ManagedState>>— no file persistence in v1.service_mycelium.nu,mycelium.nu) can drive the workflow end-to-end.Architecture
