# ECP-0070: Relay-Native CAS Archival + NixOS Auto-Archive Service

## Summary

Add a first-party archival path for MoQ relay streams:

1. `ec-node wt-archive`:
- Subscribe to a relay broadcast over WebTransport/MoQ.
- Persist each received group payload as a content-addressed object (BLAKE3).
- Append per-track JSONL index records ("manifests") that reference CAS object hashes/paths.

2. Extend the NixOS `services.every-channel.ec-node` module with `archive.*` options:
- Poll `every.channel` public stream directory.
- Auto-start one `wt-archive` worker per discovered broadcast.
- Store large CAS blobs and manifest indices in separately configurable roots.

## Motivation

We need durable, low-duplication TV archive storage on dedicated storage hosts.

- Relay ingestion makes archive nodes location-agnostic.
- CAS enables deduplication and integrity-friendly storage semantics.
- Separate manifest/index storage allows faster metadata operations and simpler backup policy.
- Nix-managed host config keeps archival behavior immutable and repeatable.

## Decision

- Introduce `ec-node wt-archive` as the minimal relay subscriber for archival.
- Use BLAKE3 object IDs and a sharded filesystem layout (`<cas-root>/objects/blake3/aa/<hash>.bin`).
- Write append-only JSONL records per `broadcast/track` under a configurable manifest directory.
- Add `services.every-channel.ec-node.archive.*` in the Nix module to auto-discover and archive public streams.

Initial default archived tracks target current relay publisher output:
- `catalog.json`
- `init.mp4`
- `video0.m4s`
- `audio0.m4s`

## Consequences

Pros:
- Immediate archival path without requiring browser components.
- Works with current Cloudflare relay + WebTransport deployment.
- Fully declarative deployment via existing Nix input wiring.

Tradeoffs:
- First version archives raw group payloads and does not yet normalize across track schema variants.
- Discovery source is the web public stream list (not full control-topic gossip ingestion).
- Per-broadcast workers are process-based and best-effort supervised.

## Rollout

1. Ship `wt-archive` command in `ec-node`.
2. Extend Nix module with `archive.*`.
3. Enable on storage host(s) with:
- CAS root on large ZFS pool.
- manifest root on separate filesystem/dataset.

## Reversibility

- Disable `services.every-channel.ec-node.archive.enable`.
- Existing CAS/manifests remain inert on disk and can be pruned independently.
