omnyshell_hub library

OmnyShell Hub: run a Hub that authenticates principals, registers nodes, and brokers secure sessions.

final hub = OmnyShellHub(HubConfig(
  securityContext: context,
  authenticator: authenticator,
));
await hub.start();

Classes

ActiveSessionDetachRequest
Client → Hub: detach an active (attached) session on nodeId from another connection — e.g. when a full-screen program owns the original terminal. sessionRef is an id/short-id/prefix, or empty to target the caller's sole active session. Correlated by requestId.
ActiveSessionDetachResponse
Hub → Client: the result of an active-session detach. Correlated by requestId.
AuditLog
A bounded, in-memory audit log of Hub security events.
AuditRecord
A single audit entry recording a security-relevant Hub event.
Authenticator
Validates a Credential and resolves it to a Principal.
AuthFail
Failed authentication.
AuthOk
Successful authentication, carrying the resolved identity and a session token bound to this connection.
AuthorizedKey
A single authorized identity: a principal, the public key that proves it, and the roles it is granted.
AuthorizedKeysStore
An in-memory authorized_keys-style trust store consulted by PublicKeyAuthenticator.
Authorizer
Decides whether an authenticated Principal may open a session on a node.
AuthRequest
A login attempt presenting a credential.

Credential
A credential presented during the authentication handshake.
CredentialProvider
Produces the AuthRequest a node or client sends in response to the Hub's challenge hello.
CredentialStore
On-disk store of Hub logins, keyed by Hub URL, with a remembered default.
