Executive Summary
This review provides a comprehensive MVP-readiness assessment of the Krill Platform with detailed analysis of the peer-to-peer mesh networking architecture, feature completeness, and state management consistency.
What Improved Since Last Report (Jan 14, 2026)
- Session TTL Cleanup Implemented -
PeerSessionManager.cleanupExpiredSessions()now properly implemented and called periodically inServerLifecycleManager - WebSocket Reconnect Backoff - Exponential backoff added to
ClientSocketManagerwith delays: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 30s max - Architecture Stability - No regressions detected; codebase remains well-structured
- Consistent Processor Pattern - All server processors follow the same
BaseNodeProcessor+executor.submit()pattern
Biggest Current Risks
- π‘ MEDIUM -
/trustendpoint still requires beacon discovery first; no direct server registration - π‘ MEDIUM - Project feature (
KrillApp.Project) has no processor or state management implementation - π’ LOW - iOS/Android/WASM CalculationProcessor implementations return empty/NOOP
- π’ LOW - Some commented-out code in
KrillScreen.ktcreates maintenance debt
Top 5 Priorities for Next Iteration
- Implement Project Feature - Add processor and state management for
KrillApp.Project - Add direct server registration - Allow
/trustwithout prior beacon discovery - Complete platform CalculationProcessor - iOS/Android/WASM implementations
- Clean up commented code - Remove dead code in UI components

Architecture Posture Summary
| Concern | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Circular dependencies | β NONE | Koin lazy injection prevents cycles |
| Platform leakage | β NONE | expect/actual pattern properly used |
| Layering violations | β NONE | Clear separation: server β sdk β shared |
| Singleton patterns | β CONTROLLED | All via Koin DI, not object declarations |
| Global state | β MINIMAL | SystemInfo + Containers (protected with Mutex) |
Whatβs Stable:
- Module boundaries are well-defined
- DI injection patterns are consistent
- Platform-specific code properly isolated via expect/actual
- Processor pattern is consistent across all features
Whatβs Drifting:
- Container pattern (multiple static containers) could be unified
- Project feature defined but not implemented
B) Krill Mesh Networking Architecture (Critical Executive Section)
Mesh Architecture Snapshot
The Krill mesh networking enables peer-to-peer communication between servers and clients without central coordination:
Key Classes/Symbols by Stage:
| Stage | Key Components | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | BeaconSender, BeaconProcessor, Multicast, NetworkDiscovery | UDP multicast beacon send/receive |
| Deduplication | PeerSessionManager | Track known peers by installId, session TTL |
| Trust | ServerHandshakeProcess, CertificateCache, /trust endpoint | Certificate exchange and validation |
| Handshake | ServerHandshakeProcess.attemptConnection() | Download cert, validate, retry |
| Download | ServerHandshakeProcess.downloadAndSyncServerData() | GET /nodes API call |
| WebSockets | ClientSocketManager, ServerSocketManager | Real-time push updates with backoff |
| Merge | NodeManager.update() | Actor-based node state merge |
| UI Propagation | NodeObserver β KrillApp.emit() β StateFlow | Reactive UI updates |
1) Actors and Identity
Apps vs Servers:
- Server:
port > 0in beacon, persists nodes to disk, processes owned nodes - App (Client):
port = 0in beacon, observes all nodes, posts edits to server
Identity Keys:
| Key | Source | Persistence | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
installId | Platform-specific UUID | FileOperations | Stable device identity across restarts |
sessionId | SessionManager.initSession() | Memory only | Detects restarts (new session = reconnect) |
host | Hostname/IP | Runtime | Network location |
2) Discovery
Beacon Lifecycle:
sequenceDiagram
participant MS as Multicast Network<br/>239.255.0.69:45317
participant BS as BeaconSender
participant BP as BeaconProcessor
participant PSM as PeerSessionManager
Note over BS: Server/App startup
BS->>MS: sendBeacon(NodeWire)
Note over BS: Rate limited: 1 beacon/second
MS->>BP: NodeWire received
BP->>PSM: isKnownSession(wire)?
alt Known Session (heartbeat)
PSM-->>BP: true
Note over BP: Ignore duplicate
else Known Host, New Session (restart)
PSM-->>BP: false, hasKnownHost=true
BP->>BP: handleHostReconnection()
BP->>PSM: add(wire)
else New Host
PSM-->>BP: false, hasKnownHost=false
BP->>BP: handleNewHost()
BP->>PSM: add(wire)
end
Server vs App Beacon Distinction:
wire.port > 0β Server beacon β triggertrustServer()wire.port = 0β Client beacon β respond with own beacon
Dedupe Strategy:
- Key:
installId(stable host ID) - Session check:
knownSessions[wire.installId]?.sessionId == wire.sessionId - TTL: 30 minutes (
SESSION_EXPIRY_MS = 30 * 60 * 1000L) - β
Cleanup implemented in
ServerLifecycleManagerevery 5 minutes
3) Trust Bootstrap via /trust (Mandatory)
POST /trust Flow:
sequenceDiagram
participant Client as Krill App
participant Server as Krill Server A
participant Peer as Krill Server B
Note over Client: User enters API key for Server B
Client->>Server: POST /trust<br/>ServerSettingsData(id, trustCert, apiKey)
Server->>Server: nodeManager.nodeAvailable(id)?
alt Peer NOT in NodeManager
Server-->>Client: 404 "peer must be discovered via beacon first"
Note over Server: Cannot register unknown peer
else Peer exists (discovered via beacon)
Server->>Server: serverSettings.write(settingsData)
Server-->>Client: 200 OK
end
Critical Observation: /trust requires prior beacon discovery. This is a design decision that:
- β Prevents registration of nonexistent peers
- β Doesnβt support manual server registration for cross-network scenarios
Recommendation: Add optional hostname/port to /trust payload for direct registration without beacon.
4) Connection Pipeline
Handshake Flow:
sequenceDiagram
participant BP as BeaconProcessor
participant SHP as ServerHandshakeProcess
participant CC as CertificateCache
participant HC as HttpClient
participant CSM as ClientSocketManager
participant NM as NodeManager
BP->>SHP: trustServer(wire)
SHP->>SHP: mutex.withLock (dedupe)
SHP->>SHP: Cancel old session job if exists
SHP->>CC: hasValidConnection(installId)?
alt Cached valid connection
SHP->>HC: GET /nodes
else No cache or error
SHP->>HC: GET /nodes (attempt)
alt SSL/Cert error
SHP->>HC: GET /trust (download cert)
SHP->>SHP: rebuildHttpClient with cert
SHP->>HC: Retry GET /nodes
else Auth error
SHP->>NM: setErrorState("Unauthorised")
end
end
SHP->>CSM: start(wire)
CSM->>CSM: Connect WebSocket with backoff
SHP->>NM: update() for each downloaded node
SHP->>CC: markValid(installId)
ERROR State Usage:
ConnectionResult.AUTH_ERRORβnodeManager.setErrorState()with message- WebSocket failures β
setErrorState()viaonDisconnect()after backoff - Guardrails: Processors skip nodes in ERROR state
5) Mesh Convergence & Steady-State
Healthy Mesh State:
- All servers have each otherβs nodes via WebSocket push
- All clients have all server nodes for UI display
- NodeManager.nodes() contains nodes from all peers
- Each server only observes its own nodes (
node.isMine())
Update Propagation:
graph LR
A[Node Change] --> B[NodeManager.update]
B --> C[StateFlow.update]
C --> D[NodeObserver.collect]
D --> E[type.emit processor]
E --> F[NodeEventBus.broadcast]
F --> G[WebSocket push]
G --> H[Remote NodeManager.update]
H --> I[Remote UI recomposition]
6) Beacon-Triggered vs /trust-Triggered Flow Convergence
| Entry Point | Discovery | Trust Persist | Handshake Trigger | Convergence Point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beacon | Automatic | Settings from prior /trust | serverHandshakeProcess.trustServer(wire) | trustServer() |
| /trust | Manual (requires beacon first) | Immediate persist | Settings update only | trustServer() (via beacon) |
Convergence: Both paths eventually use serverHandshakeProcess.trustServer(wire) for actual handshake, but /trust only persists settings - actual connection happens on next beacon.
Divergence Gap: Beacon creates node if missing; /trust rejects if node missing.

}
Outliers Identified:
ServerDataPointProcessor- handlesSNAPSHOT_UPDATEstate instead ofEXECUTED, which is correct for data flowKrillApp.Project- has meta defined but no processor at all
D) NodeManager Update Pipeline (Critical)
Server NodeManager Actor Pattern
sequenceDiagram
participant Caller as HTTP/WebSocket/Beacon
participant NM as ServerNodeManager
participant Chan as operationChannel<br/>Channel.UNLIMITED
participant Actor as Actor Job
participant Nodes as nodes Map
participant Obs as NodeObserver
participant File as FileOperations

NM->>NM: Create NodeOperation.Update
NM->>Chan: send(operation)
NM->>NM: await completion
Chan->>Actor: receive operation
alt Client node from other server
Actor->>Actor: return (skip)
else Exact duplicate node
Actor->>Actor: return (skip)
else DELETING state
Actor->>Actor: return (skip)
end
alt New node
Actor->>Nodes: Create MutableStateFlow
Actor->>Obs: observe() if isMine()
else Existing node
Actor->>Nodes: existing.update { node }
end
Actor->>Chan: operation.complete(Unit)
Multi-Server Coordination
| Aspect | Mechanism | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | node.isMine() check | ServerNodeManager.kt:109, BaseNodeProcessor.kt:118 |
| File persistence | Only owner persists | NodeProcessExecutor.kt:121 |
| Remote deletion | POST to owner server | ServerNodeManager.kt:178-182 |
| Consistency | Actor serialization | ServerNodeManager.kt:30-61 |
| WebSocket push | EventBus broadcast | NodeProcessExecutor.kt:119 |
Potential Issues
Dominant Pattern: Actor-based serialization for all mutations β
Outliers Identified:
- verify() in ServerNodeManager (lines 229-303): Contains complex filter logic that could be moved to
FilterProcessor - Recursive delete (lines 189-195): Launches
scope.launch { delete(n) }for each child concurrently - consider sequential processing
E) StateFlow / SharedFlow / Compose Collection Safety (Critical)
Current Patterns Analysis
| Location | Pattern | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
App.kt:37 | remember { mutableStateOf(false) } | β GOOD | Proper state initialization |
KrillScreen.kt:17 | collectAsState() | β GOOD | Direct StateFlow subscription |
KrillScreen.kt:23-25 | Conditional StateFlow read | β GOOD | Guards with nodeAvailable check |
NodeObserver.kt:42-47 | subscriptionCount check | β EXCELLENT | Multiple observer detection |
ClientScreen.kt (referenced) | debounce(16).stateIn() | β EXCELLENT | 60fps protection |
StateFlow Documentation
The codebase properly handles StateFlow with built-in distinctUntilChanged semantics. Comments document this behavior in key locations.
Recommendations
- β Already implemented: Debounce on swarm updates (16ms)
- β Already documented: StateFlow distinctUntilChanged behavior
- Consider: Remove duplicate subscription warnings in NodeObserver if theyβre expected (line 43)

Implement the Project feature for KrillApp by creating a processor and metadata class.
Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/server/project/ProjectProcessor.kt (create)
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/server/project/ProjectMetaData.kt (verify exists)
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/di/ProcessModule.kt (add processor)
Steps:
1. Create ProjectProcessor interface extending NodeProcessor
2. Create ServerProjectProcessor following the standard processor pattern:
- Extend BaseNodeProcessor
- Override post() to handle EXECUTED state
- Override process() to return true (basic implementation)
3. Add processor to ProcessModule.kt with server/client conditional
Acceptance criteria:
1. Project nodes can be created and persisted
2. Project processor follows existing patterns (see ServerCronProcessor)
3. No compilation errors
4. Project appears in feature grid as functional

Allow /trust endpoint to register unknown peers by including optional
hostname and port in the request.
Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/io/ServerSettingsData.kt
- server/src/main/kotlin/krill/zone/server/Routes.kt
Steps:
1. Add optional `hostname: String? = null` and `port: Int? = null` fields to ServerSettingsData
2. In POST /trust handler (Routes.kt:236-252), if peer not found AND hostname/port provided:
- Create a new server node with ServerMetaData(name=hostname, port=port)
- Call nodeManager.create(peer)
- Then proceed with existing settings persistence
3. If peer not found AND hostname/port NOT provided, return 404 as before
Acceptance criteria:
1. Existing beacon-first flow still works unchanged
2. New direct registration works with hostname+port
3. Settings are persisted before handshake
4. Error response if incomplete data provided

Remove the large commented-out code block in KrillScreen.kt to reduce
maintenance debt and improve readability.
Touch points:
- composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/krillapp/KrillScreen.kt
Steps:
1. Remove lines 109-165 (the commented-out when block)
2. Verify the file still compiles
3. Ensure the active code is properly formatted
Acceptance criteria:
1. File compiles without errors
2. Existing functionality unchanged
3. No commented code blocks remain

Implement CalculationProcessor for iOS, Android, and WASM platforms using
the existing Expressions math evaluator which is platform-independent.
Touch points:
- krill-sdk/src/iosMain/kotlin/krill/zone/ (create if needed)
- krill-sdk/src/androidMain/kotlin/krill/zone/ (create if needed)
- krill-sdk/src/wasmJsMain/kotlin/krill/zone/ (create if needed)
Steps:
1. Check if Expressions class from krill-sdk is available on all platforms
2. If yes, update processModule to use a shared CalculationProcessor for non-server platforms
3. If no, implement platform-specific using basic math operations
4. The processor should evaluate mathematical expressions and return results
Acceptance criteria:
1. Basic expressions evaluate correctly on all platforms
2. Error handling returns appropriate error state
3. Matches JVM CalculationProcessor behavior
