Le contrat faisait porter à l'application trois choses qui sont des artefacts de notre implémentation, pas de la cible. Le rechargement de page. Au retour depuis le cache du navigateur, la barrière se rechargeait pour rejouer init() — et détruisait au passage l'état de l'application, qui ne pouvait ni s'y opposer ni nettoyer avant. Le paquet détenait pourtant ce qu'il fallait : la fonction init injectée et le callback de l'appelant. Il enregistre désormais sa délégation, ranime sa barrière au retour — champ conservé, bouton réactivé — et redélègue à la confirmation. Rien hors de la barrière n'est touché. Vérifié dans le bundle amont : en page de tête, init navigue à chaque appel, sa garde « une seule fois » ne portant que sur la branche iframe. L'ordre d'appel silencieux. ensureIdentity() attendu avant init() ne se résolvait jamais, sans erreur. Le paquet possédant la session, il distingue maintenant les deux cas sans délai ni heuristique : session pas encore arrivée → il attend ; init jamais appelé → elle n'arrivera pas, il lève en nommant l'appel à faire d'abord. Et la clause qui annonçait la barrière était rangée dans les exigences de déploiement, alors qu'une application n'y peut rien. Elle passe dans les garanties, avec ce qui la remplace : la page n'est jamais rechargée. Il reste deux lignes d'exigences : servir le fichier de portefeuille, et appeler init avant d'attendre l'identité — ce qui échoue désormais bruyamment.

Scope
This package is a polyfill of NextGraph's SDK.
This package covers placement (creating and listing an application's documents by scope), reading (a document's subjects, one-shot or reactive), sharing a document with a named user, and depositing into inboxes. It does not cover user management, display names, transport, or the operation of a deployment.
Deployment requirements
An application using this package must:
- serve a wallet file (
.ngw) from its own bundle, and pass its URL and password toconfigureassharedWallet: { fileUrl, password }; - call
init(…)— this package's, not the one it passed toconfigure— and then awaitensureIdentity(), in a browser context, before rendering its interface.ensureIdentity()resolves once a session is open, and a session arrives only throughinit: awaited beforeinithas been called, it throws and names the call to make first.
Surface
Full typed shape: the package's types entry, @ng-eventually/polyfill. A type is published only when a published signature uses it. The load-bearing signatures:
// ── bootstrap ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
export function configure(c: EventuallyConfig): void;
export interface EventuallyConfig {
ng: NgLike; // the `ng` object from @ng-org/web
useShape: UseShapeLike; // `useShape` from @ng-org/orm
sharedWallet?: SharedWalletConfig; // { fileUrl, password, importUrl? }
debugAccessLog?: boolean;
init?: (...args: any[]) => any;
initNg?: (...args: any[]) => any;
}
// ── identity — one await before the application renders ──────────────────
export async function ensureIdentity(): Promise<PrincipalId>; // returns who you are
// ── addressing ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
export type Nuri = `did:ng:${string}`;
export type NuriLike = Nuri | string;
export type Scope = "public" | "protected" | "private";
// ── placement: where an application's documents live ─────────────────────
export const storeRegistry: { // no identity parameter — a session is one user's
createEntityDoc(scope: Scope): Promise<Nuri>;
listMyEntityDocs(scope: Scope): Promise<Nuri[]>;
resolveScopeGraph(scope: Scope): Promise<Nuri>;
resolveWriteGraph(scope: Scope): Promise<Nuri>;
openDocumentInbox(doc: NuriLike): Promise<Nuri>;
};
// ── reading ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
export async function readUnion(docs: NuriLike[]): Promise<UnionSubject[]>;
export interface UnionSubject { subject: string; graph: Nuri; props: Record<string, string[]> }
export function useShape(shapeType: unknown, scope: unknown): unknown; // read-filtered view
export function watchShape(query: ShapeQuery): ShapeObservable;
export function subscribeDoc(nuri: NuriLike, onChange: (r: DocChange, t: DocChangeType) => void): Unsubscribe;
export function subscribeDocs(nuris: NuriLike[], onChange: (r: DocChange, t: DocChangeType) => void): Unsubscribe;
// ── low-level document / SPARQL primitives ───────────────────────────────
export const docs: {
docCreate(sessionId: string, crdt: string, cls: string, dest: string, store?: unknown): Promise<Nuri>;
sparqlQuery(sessionId: string, query: string, base?: string, anchor?: NuriLike, label?: string): Promise<unknown>;
sparqlUpdate(sessionId: string, query: string, anchor?: NuriLike, label?: string): Promise<void>;
};
// ── inbox: giving to read, and depositing ────────────────────────────────
export const inbox: {
share(doc: NuriLike, toUser: string): Promise<void>; // give a reader the key
post(targetInbox: NuriLike, opts: PostOptions): Promise<void>;
postToDocument(doc: NuriLike, opts: PostOptions): Promise<void>;
read(targetInbox: NuriLike): Promise<Deposit[]>; // only your own
readForDocument(doc: NuriLike): Promise<Deposit[]>;
readSynced(targetInbox: NuriLike): Promise<Deposit[]>;
processInbox(targetInbox: NuriLike): Promise<Deposit[]>;
watch(targetInbox: NuriLike, onDeposits: (d: Deposit[]) => void): () => void;
materialize: typeof read;
};
export interface Deposit { from: PrincipalId | null; payload: unknown; ts: number }
// ── the wrapped SDK objects ──────────────────────────────────────────────
export const ng: Record<string, any>; // call this instead of the `ng` passed to `configure`
export function init(...args: any[]): any; // likewise — not the `init` passed to `configure`
export function initNg(...args: any[]): any;
Guarantees
Every entry accepts NuriLike and validates at the door; what it returns is a precise Nuri. No type guard is published.
A returned reference carries no key — not createEntityDoc, not listMyEntityDocs, not UnionSubject.subject / .graph. A reference found inside a document yields a name, not a key.
You read a document whose key you hold: you created it, it was shared with you, or it sits in a public store, which serves its read key to whoever asks. No call answers "may I read this?".
What was shared with you becomes readable after ensureIdentity().
readUnion returns one entry per distinct subject present in a document. subject is that subject's IRI exactly as written, and is a string, because a subject may be any IRI; graph is the document reference you passed in, and is the Nuri to hand back to this surface. Properties of different subjects are never merged, and the same subject IRI found in two documents stays two entries, told apart by graph. Several objects in one document are allowed. Recommended placement is one document per business entity: access is granted per document.
urn:ng-eventually: is reserved. Triples whose subject falls under that prefix are dropped on read and never returned by readUnion; every other IRI is returned.
Only a document's owner writes to it. Holding its read key never grants a write.
inbox.share(doc, toUser) names the document and the person; the recipient calls nothing. It refuses a recipient nobody has signed in as, rather than creating them.
inbox.post refuses a target that is not an inbox; to reach a document's owner, use inbox.postToDocument(doc, …). Anyone may deposit into an inbox; only its owner reads it.
ensureIdentity() settles the identity, completes the connection work it starts, and returns the identity. It takes no identifier, and no other call takes one.
ensureIdentity() mounts a full-screen barrier on every top-level load, and takes it down itself — past the broker round-trip it never appears. A person who comes back to the page from that round-trip finds the barrier live again, prefilled, and confirming it hands the page over a second time. The application's own page is never reloaded and nothing outside the barrier is touched.
The session is the package's, not yours. You never build one, and no call takes one. Call this package's init (not the one you passed to configure): it captures the session the SDK delivers to init's callback and keeps it, then calls your callback with that same event untouched — so an application that wants the session_id for the docs primitives reads it there, and one that does not may pass no callback at all. Identity normalisation is the package's too: @Alice, alice and ALICE are one person.
createEntityDoc throws if the document cannot be recorded in its store.
Non-guarantees
No display name. ensureIdentity() returns an opaque identifier: do not parse it, split it, or render it as a readable name.
No revocation. inbox.share cannot be undone.
Nothing per reader on a document in a public store. No grant, no revocation, no audience list.
No delegated writing. A received key never grants a write, and no call adds a writer to a document.
No mailbox model. Do not build on the raw deposit list.
No cross-broker reference. A returned reference resolves for users of the same broker.
No unfiltered read through useShape. Members that yield items are filtered and mutations pass through; anything else throws. A document reached through that view alone, read nowhere else first, does not appear.
Change policy
This surface changes, and shrinks. The package does not offer semantic-version stability.
Re-pull this contract at every upgrade.
