-- **`Bootstrapper`** — Manages the one-time bootstrap token written to `~/.arbiter/bootstrap_token` on first run.
-- **`Vault`** — Holds the encrypted root key and manages the Sealed/Unsealed vault state machine. On unseal, decrypts the root key into a `memsafe` hardened memory cell.
-- **`FlowCoordinator`** — Coordinates cross-connection flow between operators and SDK clients.
-- **`EvmActor`** — Handles EVM transaction policy enforcement and signing.

+- **`OperatorRegistry`** — tracks currently connected operators
+- **`EvmActor`** — EVM transaction policy enforcement and signing
+- **`events`** — a `kameo_actors::MessageBus` (`DeliveryStrategy::Guaranteed`) for cross-actor notifications
 
-Per-connection actors live under `actors/operator/` and `actors/client/`, each with `auth` (challenge-response authentication) and `session` (post-auth operations) sub-modules.
+Per-connection state lives under **`src/peers/`**, not `actors/`: `peers/client/` and `peers/operator/`, each with `auth` (challenge-response) and `session` (post-auth) sub-modules; the operator side additionally has `vault_gate/` for the unseal handshake.
 
-**Database:** SQLite via `diesel-async` + `bb8` connection pool. Schema managed by embedded Diesel migrations in `crates/arbiter-server/migrations/`. DB file lives at `~/.arbiter/arbiter.sqlite`. Tests use a temp-file DB via `db::create_test_pool()`.
+The gRPC surface lives in **`src/grpc/`**, split per peer (`client/`, `operator/`, `common/`) and per direction (`inbound.rs` — requests to the daemon, `outbound.rs` — server-initiated streams), with `request_tracker.rs` correlating the two.
+
+EVM logic is in `src/evm/`: `policies/ether_transfer/`, `policies/token_transfers/`, `abi.rs`, `safe_signer.rs`.
+
+**Database:** SQLite via `diesel-async` + `bb8`. Schema in `src/db/schema.rs`, models in `src/db/models.rs`, embedded migrations in `crates/arbiter-server/migrations/`. DB file lives at `~/.arbiter/arbiter.sqlite`; tests use a temp-file DB via `db::create_test_pool()`.
+
+Entity ids are newtypes generated by the `declare_id!` macro in `db::models` (`OperatorId`, `ChainId`, …), each a `#[repr(transparent)]` wrapper over `i32` with `to_raw`/`from_raw`. Pass these around instead of bare `i32`.
+
+**Row integrity:** sensitive rows are covered by an HMAC-SHA256 envelope (`src/crypto/integrity/`, table `integrity_envelope`), keyed from the vault root key. A struct becomes coverable by deriving `arbiter_macros::Hashable` and implementing `Integrable` (`KIND` + `VERSION`). When adding or changing a covered entity, keep the derive and the payload version in sync — a mismatch surfaces as `PayloadVersionMismatch` or `MacMismatch` at runtime.
 
 **Cryptography:**
-- Authentication: ed25519 (challenge-response, nonce-tracked per peer)
-- Encryption at rest: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (versioned via `scheme` field for transparent migration on unseal)
+- Authentication: **ML-DSA-87** (post-quantum, `arbiter-crypto::authn::v1`), challenge-response with per-peer nonce tracking
+- Encryption at rest: XChaCha20-Poly1305, versioned modules (`crypto/encryption/v1.rs`) with a `schema_version` column for transparent migration on unseal
 - Password KDF: Argon2
-- Unseal transport: X25519 ephemeral key exchange
-- TLS: self-signed certificate (aws-lc-rs backend), fingerprint distributed via `ArbiterUrl`
+- Unseal transport: X25519 ephemeral key exchange (`peers/operator/vault_gate/`); `x-wing` (hybrid PQ KEM) is available via `arbiter-crypto`
+- TLS: self-signed certificate (rustls + aws-lc-rs, `prefer-post-quantum`), fingerprint distributed via `ArbiterUrl`
 
-**Protocol:** gRPC with Protocol Buffers. The `ArbiterUrl` type encodes host, port, CA cert, and bootstrap token into a single shareable string (printed to console on first run).
+Crypto modules are versioned by convention: `mod.rs` re-exports the current `vN`. Add a `v(N+1)` rather than editing an existing version in place.

-## Operator (Flutter + Rinf at `operator/`)
+## User Agent (Flutter + flutter_rust_bridge at `useragent/`)
 
-The Flutter app uses [Rinf](https://rinf.cunarist.org) to call Rust code. The Rust logic lives in `operator/native/hub/` as a separate crate that uses `arbiter-operator` for the gRPC client.
-
-Communication between Dart and Rust uses typed **signals** defined in `operator/native/hub/src/signals/`. After modifying signal structs, regenerate Dart bindings:
-
-```sh
-cd operator && rinf gen
-```
+The Flutter app calls Rust through [flutter_rust_bridge](https://cjycode.com/flutter_rust_bridge/) 2.12.0. The Rust side is the `rust_lib_arbiter` crate at `useragent/rust/`; everything exposed to Dart is declared in `useragent/rust/src/api/` and lands in `useragent/lib/src/rust/` (see `useragent/flutter_rust_bridge.yaml`). Dart UI code is organised as `lib/features/`, `lib/screens/`, `lib/widgets/`, `lib/providers/`, `lib/theme/`, with routing in `lib/router.dart` (`router.gr.dart` is generated).
 
 ### Common Commands
 
 ```sh
-cd operator
+cd useragent
 
-# Run the app (macOS or Windows)
+# Run the app
 flutter run
 
-# Regenerate Rust↔Dart signal bindings
-rinf gen
+# Regenerate Rust↔Dart bindings after editing rust/src/api/
+mise run codegen        # flutter_rust_bridge_codegen generate
 
-# Analyze Dart code
+# Analyze Dart code (also run in CI)
 flutter analyze
 ```
 
-The Rinf Rust entry point is `operator/native/hub/src/lib.rs`. It spawns actors defined in `operator/native/hub/src/actors/` which handle Dart↔server communication via signals.
+Note: `app/` contains only stale generated Flutter artifacts and is not the application source.

-# Grant Grid View Implementation Plan

-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Add an "EVM Grants" dashboard tab that displays all grants as enriched cards (type, chain, wallet address, client name) with per-card revoke support.
-
-**Architecture:** A new `walletAccessListProvider` fetches wallet accesses with their DB row IDs. The screen (`grants.dart`) watches only `evmGrantsProvider` for top-level state. Each `GrantCard` widget (its own file) watches enrichment providers (`walletAccessListProvider`, `evmProvider`, `sdkClientsProvider`) and the revoke mutation directly — keeping rebuilds scoped to the card. The screen is registered as a dashboard tab in `AdaptiveScaffold`.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Flutter, Riverpod (`riverpod_annotation` + `build_runner` codegen), `sizer` (adaptive sizing), `auto_route`, Protocol Buffers (Dart), `Palette` design tokens.

-## Task 5: Create `EvmGrantsScreen`
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `operator/lib/screens/dashboard/evm/grants/grants.dart`
-
-The screen watches only `evmGrantsProvider` for top-level state (loading / error / no connection / empty / data). When there is data it renders a list of `GrantCard` widgets — each card manages its own enrichment subscriptions.
-

-        AutoRoute(page: AboutRoute.page, path: 'about'),
-      ],
-    ),
-  ];
-}
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Update `dashboard.dart`**
-
-In `operator/lib/screens/dashboard.dart`, replace the `routes` constant:
-
-```dart
-final routes = [
-  const EvmRoute(),
-  const ClientsRoute(),
-  const EvmGrantsRoute(),
-  const AboutRoute(),
-];
-```
-
-And replace the `destinations` list inside `AdaptiveScaffold`:
-
-```dart
-destinations: const [
-  NavigationDestination(
-    icon: Icon(Icons.account_balance_wallet_outlined),
-    selectedIcon: Icon(Icons.account_balance_wallet),
-    label: 'Wallets',
-  ),
-  NavigationDestination(
-    icon: Icon(Icons.devices_other_outlined),
-    selectedIcon: Icon(Icons.devices_other),
-    label: 'Clients',
-  ),
-  NavigationDestination(
-    icon: Icon(Icons.policy_outlined),
-    selectedIcon: Icon(Icons.policy),
-    label: 'Grants',
-  ),
-  NavigationDestination(
-    icon: Icon(Icons.info_outline),
-    selectedIcon: Icon(Icons.info),
-    label: 'About',
-  ),
-],
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Regenerate router**
-
-```sh
-cd operator && dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
-```
-
-Expected: `lib/router.gr.dart` updated, `EvmGrantsRoute` now available, no errors.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Full project verify**
-
-```sh
-cd operator && flutter analyze
-```
-
-Expected: no issues.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
-
-```sh
-jj describe -m "feat(nav): add Grants dashboard tab"
-jj new
-```

-# Grant Grid View — Design Spec
-
-**Date:** 2026-03-28
-
-## Overview
-
-Add a "Grants" dashboard tab to the Flutter operator app that displays all EVM grants as a card-based grid. Each card shows a compact summary (type, chain, wallet address, client name) with a revoke action. The tab integrates into the existing `AdaptiveScaffold` navigation alongside Wallets, Clients, and About.
-
-## Scope
-
-- New `walletAccessListProvider` for fetching wallet access entries with their DB row IDs
-- New `EvmGrantsScreen` as a dashboard tab
-- Grant card widget with enriched display (type, chain, wallet, client)
-- Revoke action wired to existing `executeRevokeEvmGrant` mutation
-- Dashboard tab bar and router updated
-- New token-transfer accent color added to `Palette`
-
-**Out of scope:** Fixing grant creation (separate task).
-
----
-
-## Data Layer
-
-### `walletAccessListProvider`
-
-**File:** `operator/lib/providers/sdk_clients/wallet_access_list.dart`
-
-- `@riverpod` class, watches `connectionManagerProvider.future`
-- Returns `List<SdkClientWalletAccess>?` (null when not connected)
-- Each entry: `.id` (wallet_access_id), `.access.walletId`, `.access.sdkClientId`
-- Exposes a `refresh()` method following the same pattern as `EvmGrants.refresh()`
-
-### Enrichment at render time (Approach A)
-
-The `EvmGrantsScreen` watches four providers:
-1. `evmGrantsProvider` — the grant list
-2. `walletAccessListProvider` — to resolve wallet_access_id → (wallet_id, sdk_client_id)
-3. `evmProvider` — to resolve wallet_id → wallet address
-4. `sdkClientsProvider` — to resolve sdk_client_id → client name
-
-All lookups are in-memory Maps built inside the build method; no extra model class needed.
-
-Fallbacks:
-- Wallet address not found → `"Access #N"` where N is the wallet_access_id
-- Client name not found → `"Client #N"` where N is the sdk_client_id
-
----
-
-## Route Structure
-
-```
-/dashboard
-  /evm          ← existing (Wallets tab)
-  /clients      ← existing (Clients tab)
-  /grants       ← NEW (Grants tab)
-  /about        ← existing
-
-/evm-grants/create  ← existing push route (unchanged)
-```
-
-### Changes to `router.dart`
-
-Add inside dashboard children:
-```dart
-AutoRoute(page: EvmGrantsRoute.page, path: 'grants'),
-```
-
-### Changes to `dashboard.dart`
-
-Add to `routes` list:
-```dart
-const EvmGrantsRoute()
-```
-
-Add `NavigationDestination`:
-```dart
-NavigationDestination(
-  icon: Icon(Icons.policy_outlined),
-  selectedIcon: Icon(Icons.policy),
-  label: 'Grants',
-),
-```
-
----
-
-## Screen: `EvmGrantsScreen`
-
-**File:** `operator/lib/screens/dashboard/evm/grants/grants.dart`
-
-```
-Scaffold
-└─ SafeArea
-   └─ RefreshIndicator.adaptive (refreshes evmGrantsProvider + walletAccessListProvider)
-      └─ ListView (BouncingScrollPhysics + AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics)
-         ├─ PageHeader
-         │    title: 'EVM Grants'
-         │    isBusy: evmGrantsProvider.isLoading
-         │    actions: [CreateGrantButton, RefreshButton]
-         ├─ SizedBox(height: 1.8.h)
-         └─ <content>
-```
-
-### State handling
-
-Matches the pattern from `EvmScreen` and `ClientsScreen`:
-
-| State | Display |
-|---|---|
-| Loading (no data yet) | `_StatePanel` with spinner, "Loading grants" |
-| Error | `_StatePanel` with coral icon, error message, Retry button |
-| No connection | `_StatePanel`, "No active server connection" |
-| Empty list | `_StatePanel`, "No grants yet", with Create Grant shortcut |
-| Data | Column of `_GrantCard` widgets |
-
-### Header actions
-
-**CreateGrantButton:** `FilledButton.icon` with `Icons.add_rounded`, pushes `CreateEvmGrantRoute()` via `context.router.push(...)`.
-
-**RefreshButton:** `OutlinedButton.icon` with `Icons.refresh`, calls `ref.read(evmGrantsProvider.notifier).refresh()`.
-
----
-
-## Grant Card: `_GrantCard`
-
-**Layout:**
-
-```
-Container (rounded 24, Palette.cream bg, Palette.line border)
-└─ IntrinsicHeight > Row
-   ├─ Accent strip (0.8.w wide, full height, rounded left)
-   └─ Padding > Column
-        ├─ Row 1: TypeBadge + ChainChip + Spacer + RevokeButton
-        └─ Row 2: WalletText + "·" + ClientText
-```
-
-**Accent color by grant type:**
-- Ether transfer → `Palette.coral`
-- Token transfer → `Palette.token` (new entry in `Palette` — indigo, e.g. `Color(0xFF5C6BC0)`)
-
-**TypeBadge:** Small pill container with accent color background at 15% opacity, accent-colored text. Label: `'Ether'` or `'Token'`.
-
-**ChainChip:** Small container: `'Chain ${grant.shared.chainId}'`, muted ink color.
-
-**WalletText:** Short hex address (`0xabc...def`) from wallet lookup, `bodySmall`, monospace font family.
-
-**ClientText:** Client name from `sdkClientsProvider` lookup, or fallback string. `bodySmall`, muted ink.
-
-**RevokeButton:**
-- `OutlinedButton` with `Icons.block_rounded` icon, label `'Revoke'`
-- `foregroundColor: Palette.coral`, `side: BorderSide(color: Palette.coral.withValues(alpha: 0.4))`
-- Disabled (replaced with `CircularProgressIndicator`) while `revokeEvmGrantMutation` is pending — note: this is a single global mutation, so all revoke buttons disable while any revoke is in flight
-- On press: calls `executeRevokeEvmGrant(ref, grantId: grant.id)`; shows `SnackBar` on error
-
----
-
-## Adaptive Sizing
-
-All sizing uses `sizer` units (`1.h`, `1.w`, etc.). No hardcoded pixel values.
-
----
-
-## Files to Create / Modify
-
-| File | Action |
-|---|---|
-| `lib/theme/palette.dart` | Modify — add `Palette.token` color |
-| `lib/providers/sdk_clients/wallet_access_list.dart` | Create |
-| `lib/screens/dashboard/evm/grants/grants.dart` | Create |
-| `lib/router.dart` | Modify — add grants route to dashboard children |
-| `lib/screens/dashboard.dart` | Modify — add tab to routes list and NavigationDestinations |
