# RFC 0020 — Push Notification Subscriptions

## Summary

Adds four TrUAPI methods — `push_add_rules`, `push_remove_rules`, `push_list_rules`, `push_set_rules` — that mirror the rule-management endpoints of the [v2 push backend spec](https://hackmd.io/@1JCaGppGSUqHtJilikYaKw/r16YTVg5Ze). A rule is a `(signer, topic)` pair: the host's push backend delivers a push to the user's device(s) whenever a signed statement matching that pair appears on the Statement Store. The product never sees push tokens.

The method names use `add` / `remove` rather than `subscribe` / `unsubscribe` because the `_subscribe` suffix is reserved for streaming TrUAPI methods (e.g. `statementStore.subscribe`).

## References

- Push notifications, original (v1, peer-to-peer): https://hackmd.io/@1JCaGppGSUqHtJilikYaKw/SyPN2yV6lx
- Push notifications backend design (v2, backend-mediated): https://hackmd.io/@1JCaGppGSUqHtJilikYaKw/r16YTVg5Ze

This RFC exposes a TrUAPI-shaped surface over the rule-management API defined in the v2 spec.

## Motivation

The push-notifications v2 design assigns delivery to a host-side push backend that tails the Statement Store, verifies signatures, and delivers pushes only for `(signer, topic)` pairs the user has whitelisted. TrUAPI needs a primitive that lets a product manipulate that whitelist.

### Worked example: festival announcements

A conference product publishes festival-wide announcements as signed statements on a well-known topic. When the user taps "notify me about announcements," the subscriber app calls `push_add_rules({ rules: [{ signer: festival_signer, topic: announcements_topic }] })`. From that point on, the user is woken up for new announcements even with the product closed:

```
Publisher app Subscriber app
(organizer side) (attendee side)
| ^ |
| | |
| | | (1) pushAddRules({
| (6) push | | rules: [{
| back to | | signer: pkPublisher,
| caller | | topic: T_announcements
| | | }]
| | | })
| | |
| | v
| +------------------------------------+---+------+
| | Push backend |
| | stores rule: |
| | (pkPublisher, T_announcements) |
| | -> this subscriber app |
| +-----------------------+-----------------------+
| ^
| | (4) tail / match rule
| |
| +-----------------------+-----------------------+
| | Statement Store |
| +-----------------------+-----------------------+
| ^
| (2) compose signed statement |
|--- (3) statementStore.submit(statement) -+
```

## Detailed Design

### API

Each TrUAPI method mirrors one backend endpoint:

| TrUAPI method | Backend endpoint | Purpose |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `push_add_rules` | `POST /v1/subscriptions/rules` | add one or more rules |
| `push_remove_rules` | `DELETE /v1/subscriptions/rules` | remove one or more rules |
| `push_list_rules` | `GET /v1/subscriptions` | snapshot of currently active set |
| `push_set_rules` | `PUT /v1/subscriptions/rules` | atomic replace of the full set |

```rust
#[wire(request_id = 134)]
async fn push_add_rules(
&self, cx: &CallContext, request: HostPushAddRulesRequest,
) -> Result<HostPushAddRulesResponse, CallError<HostPushAddRulesError>>;

#[wire(request_id = 136)]
async fn push_remove_rules(
&self, cx: &CallContext, request: HostPushRemoveRulesRequest,
) -> Result<HostPushRemoveRulesResponse, CallError<HostPushRemoveRulesError>>;

#[wire(request_id = 138)]
async fn push_list_rules(
&self, cx: &CallContext, request: HostPushListRulesRequest,
) -> Result<HostPushListRulesResponse, CallError<HostPushListRulesError>>;

#[wire(request_id = 140)]
async fn push_set_rules(
&self, cx: &CallContext, request: HostPushSetRulesRequest,
) -> Result<HostPushSetRulesResponse, CallError<HostPushSetRulesError>>;
```

### Types

`Topic` is reused from `v01::statement_store`.

```rust
pub type StatementSigner = [u8; 32];

/// A single (signer, topic) rule the user wants to be woken up for.
///
/// At the host level the effective key is (product, signer, topic): rules
/// are scoped per calling product, so two products can register the same
/// (signer, topic) pair independently and never see each other's rules.
pub struct PushSubscriptionRule {
pub signer: StatementSigner,
pub topic: Topic,
}

pub struct HostPushAddRulesRequest { pub rules: Vec<PushSubscriptionRule> }
pub struct HostPushRemoveRulesRequest { pub rules: Vec<PushSubscriptionRule> }
pub struct HostPushListRulesRequest;
pub struct HostPushSetRulesRequest { pub rules: Vec<PushSubscriptionRule> }

pub struct HostPushListRulesResponse {
pub rules: Vec<PushSubscriptionRule>,
}

pub enum HostPushAddRulesError {
/// The user has not granted `DevicePermission::Notifications`. The host
/// SHOULD prompt for the permission lazily on the first such call from
/// a product; if the user dismisses or declines, this variant is
/// returned and no rules are stored.
PermissionDenied,
/// The host could not reach the push backend; no rules were stored.
BackendUnavailable,

pub enum HostPushRemoveRulsError {
BackendUnavailable,
Unknown { reason: String },
}

pub enum HostPushListRulesError {
BackendUnavailable,
Unknown { reason: String },
}

pub enum HostPushSetRulesError {
PermissionDenied,
BackendUnavailable,
Unknown { reason: String },
}
