About this mod

ruflo-iot-cognitum

IoT device lifecycle, telemetry anomaly detection, fleet management, and witness chain verification for Cognitum Seed hardware.

Hardware

This plugin requires a Cognitum Seed device. Get one at https://cognitum.one — the Seed is an edge appliance with on-device vector store, Ed25519 identity, OTA firmware, mesh networking, and a witness chain. Default address when attached via USB-C is http://169.254.42.1 (link-local, no auth) or https://169.254.42.1:8443 (LAN, bearer auth required for state-mutating operations).

Overview

Treats every Cognitum Seed device as a Ruflo agent with hardware capabilities. Devices progress through a 5-tier trust model, emit telemetry vectors for anomaly detection, participate in mesh networks, and maintain Ed25519 witness chains for provenance.

Backed by @claude-flow/plugin-iot-cognitum (239 tests, 39 source files).

Trust Model (5 Tiers)

| Level | Name | Score Range | Capabilities | |-------|------|-------------|-------------| | 0 | UNKNOWN | 0.0–0.19 | Discovery only | | 1 | REGISTERED | 0.2–0.39 | Status, identity queries | | 2 | PROVISIONED | 0.4–0.59 | Telemetry ingest, vector store | | 3 | CERTIFIED | 0.6–0.79 | Mesh participation, firmware deploy | | 4 | FLEET_TRUSTED | 0.8–1.0 | Full fleet operations, witness signing |

Trust Score Formula:

0.3×pairingIntegrity + 0.15×firmwareCurrency + 0.2×uptimeStability
+ 0.15×witnessIntegrity + 0.1×anomalyHistory + 0.1×meshParticipation

Anomaly Detection

Z-score composite scoring: min(1, meanZ/3)

| Type | Detection Rule | Typical Cause | |------|---------------|---------------| | spike | maxZ > 5 | Sudden sensor failure | | flatline | all zero + low Z | Sensor disconnected | | drift | 1-2 dimensions high Z | Gradual calibration loss | | oscillation | alternating high/low | Feedback loop | | pattern-break | moderate Z, multiple dims | Environmental change | | cluster-outlier | >50% dimensions high Z | Multi-sensor failure |

Firmware Rollout State Machine

pending → canary → rolling → complete
                ↘ rolled-back ↙

• canary: Deploy to ceil(deviceCount × canaryPercentage/100) devices
• rolling: If canary anomaly score < rollback threshold, deploy to remaining
• rolled-back: Force rollback triggered by anomaly threshold breach

Background Workers

| Worker | Interval | Event | |--------|----------|-------| | HealthProbeWorker | 30s | iot:device-offline | | TelemetryIngestWorker | 60s | — | | AnomalyScanWorker | 120s | iot:anomaly-detected | | MeshSyncWorker | 120s | iot:mesh-partition | | FirmwareWatchWorker | 300s | iot:firmware-mismatch | | WitnessAuditWorker | 600s | iot:witness-gap |

Integrations

• AgentDB HNSW: Telemetry vectors stored in iot-telemetry namespace with HNSW indexing (M=16, efConstruction=200)
• SONA Neural: Anomaly patterns fed to SONA for cross-device correlation and predictive maintenance
• Cognitum SDK: @cognitum-one/sdk/seed SeedClient with 12 typed endpoints

Compatibility

• CLI: pinned to @claude-flow/cli v3.6 major+minor.
• Hardware: requires Cognitum Seed device. SDK: @cognitum-one/sdk/seed.
• Verification: bash plugins/ruflo-iot-cognitum/scripts/smoke.sh is the contract.

Namespace coordination

This plugin owns five AgentDB namespaces, all compliant with the ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention" (<plugin-stem>-<intent> kebab-case):

| Namespace | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | iot-devices | Device trust history per Cognitum Seed | | iot-telemetry | Telemetry vectors (HNSW: M=16, efConstruction=200) | | iot-telemetry-anomalies | Detected anomalies tagged by type + remedial action | | iot-anomalies | Skill-level anomaly index (alias of above) | | iot-audit | Witness-chain gap records |

Reserved namespaces (pattern, claude-memories, default) MUST NOT be shadowed.

As a mod (0.3.2)

A function-hook mod ships beside the skills (ADR-445 pattern). Needs a Claude Code with mods (2.1.287+); older builds ignore it. No network, no process spawning: it only tightens calls to this plugin's own tools and reads through tools already connected.

| Piece | Default | What it does | |---|---|---| | Write guard | on | Refuses a secret in an iot-* memory record, or on a cognitum-iot command line. | | Destructive confirm | on | Refuses cognitum-iot fleet delete and device delete/remove/revoke/decommission/deregister unless the command has --confirm/--yes or the COGNITUM_IOT_CONFIRM=1 prefix (rollbacks and lists are untouched). | | /iot-mod | — | status, scan <text>, devices (reads the iot-devices namespace through the connected memory tool); answered locally, no model call. | | Status file | — | .claude-flow/iot-mod/status.json (version, updatedMs, mode flags and counters); written at session start and when a counter changes. |

Options (userConfig): guard on|off, confirmDestructive on|off. Refusals never echo the value they matched.

Trust model parallel with federation

This plugin's 5-tier device trust model (UNKNOWN → REGISTERED → PROVISIONED → CERTIFIED → FLEET_TRUSTED) follows the same shape as the ruflo-federation 5-tier trust model (UNTRUSTED → VERIFIED → ATTESTED → TRUSTED → PRIVILEGED). Different surface (IoT devices vs federation peers) and distinct naming, but the score-driven progression and capability-gating principle are the same.

Verification

bash plugins/ruflo-iot-cognitum/scripts/smoke.sh
# Expected: "12 passed, 0 failed"

Architecture Decisions

• ADR-0001 — ruflo-iot-cognitum plugin contract (compliant namespaces, 5-tier trust parallel, 6 background workers, smoke as contract)

Related Plugins

• ruflo-agentdb — HNSW-indexed telemetry storage backend; namespace convention owner
• ruflo-federation — 5-tier trust model parallel (different surface, distinct naming, same shape)
• ruflo-intelligence — SONA neural pattern learning
• ruflo-observability — Telemetry correlation and tracing
