## 1. Executive Summary

This specification defines a **pure Rust terminal user interface (TUI)** for real-time system and ML workload monitoring, implemented as an optional `monitor` feature within `trueno-viz`. The system replicates and extends the visualization capabilities of btop++ while adding:

- **Sovereign AI Stack integration**: LLM inference metrics, training progress, ZRAM compression stats
- **Multi-system monitoring**: Distributed node aggregation over TCP/TLS
- **YAML-driven configuration**: Declarative layout, theming, and metric selection
- **Pure Rust implementation**: Zero C/C++ dependencies, WASM-compatible core
- **PMAT Quality Enforcement**: Integrated with `pmat` for O(1) quality gates and mutation testing

The design follows Toyota Production System principles (Jidoka, Poka-Yoke) as codified in the **Lean-Scientific Code Review Protocol**, and adheres to the stack's quality standards: 95% test coverage, mutation testing (verified by `pmat mutate`), and formal verification where applicable.

---

## 2. Motivation and Goals

### 2.1 Problem Statement

Existing system monitors (btop, htop, glances) lack:

1. **ML workload visibility**: No native support for GPU tensor operations, inference latency, training loss curves
2. **Distributed monitoring**: Single-node focus; multi-system requires separate tooling
3. **Stack integration**: Cannot display ZRAM compression ratios, APR model loading, repartir job queues
4. **Configuration as code**: Imperative config files, not declarative YAML
5. **Pure Rust**: C++ codebases with complex build dependencies

### 2.2 Goals

| ID | Goal | Measurable Outcome |
|----|------|-------------------|
| G1 | Full btop feature parity | 100% of btop visualizations reproducible |
| G2 | ML stack integration | Display metrics from realizar, entrenar, trueno-zram |
| G3 | Multi-system support | Monitor N nodes from single terminal |
| G4 | YAML configuration | Complete layout/theme control via YAML |
| G5 | <16ms frame time | 60fps rendering on commodity hardware (verified by `pmat benchmark`) |
| G6 | <10MB memory footprint | Bounded history buffers |
| G7 | Zero unsafe code | Safe Rust only (except SIMD intrinsics in trueno), verified by `pmat rust-project-score` |

### 2.3 Non-Goals

- GUI/web interface (use `presentar` for browser-based monitoring)
- Historical data persistence (use `trueno-db` for time-series storage)
- Alerting/notification system (use dedicated observability tools)

### 5.2 Linux Collectors

#### 5.2.1 CPU Collector (`/proc/stat`)

```rust
pub struct CpuCollector {
    prev_stats: Vec<CpuStats>,
    history: RingBuffer<CpuSnapshot>,
}

struct CpuStats {
    user: u64,
    nice: u64,
    system: u64,
    idle: u64,
    iowait: u64,
    irq: u64,
    softirq: u64,
    steal: u64,
}
```

**Calculation**: CPU percentage derived from delta between samples (Bovet & Cesati, 2005):

```
cpu_percent = 100 * (1 - (idle_delta / total_delta))
```

#### 5.2.2 Memory Collector (`/proc/meminfo`)

```rust
pub struct MemoryCollector {
    history: RingBuffer<MemorySnapshot>,
}

struct MemorySnapshot {
    total: u64,
    free: u64,
    available: u64,
    buffers: u64,
    cached: u64,
    swap_total: u64,
    swap_free: u64,
    // ... additional fields
}
```

#### 5.2.3 Network Collector (`/proc/net/dev`)

```rust
pub struct NetworkCollector {
    interfaces: Vec<String>,
    prev_stats: HashMap<String, NetStats>,
    history: HashMap<String, RingBuffer<NetSnapshot>>,
}

struct NetStats {
    rx_bytes: u64,
    tx_bytes: u64,
    rx_packets: u64,
    tx_packets: u64,
    // ... errors, drops
}
```

```rust
pub struct ProcessCollector {
    processes: BTreeMap<u32, ProcessInfo>,
    sort_by: SortColumn,
    filter: Option<Regex>,
}

struct ProcessInfo {
    pid: u32,
    ppid: u32,
    name: String,
    cmdline: String,
    state: ProcessState,
    cpu_percent: f32,
    mem_bytes: u64,
    threads: u32,
    user: String,
    start_time: u64,
}
```

**Process Tree**: Built using PPID relationships with O(n) traversal (Tanenbaum & Bos, 2014).

}

impl NvidiaCollector {
    pub fn new() -> Result<Self, NvmlError> {
        let nvml = Nvml::init()?;
        let count = nvml.device_count()?;
        // ...

- `nvmlDeviceGetClockInfo`: Core/memory clocks

#### 5.3.2 AMD Collector (ROCm SMI)

```rust
#[cfg(feature = "monitor-amd")]
pub struct AmdCollector {
    devices: Vec<u32>,  // Device indices
    history: Vec<RingBuffer<GpuSnapshot>>,
}
```

**Metrics via ROCm SMI** (AMD, 2024):
- `rsmi_dev_gpu_busy_percent_get`: Utilization
- `rsmi_dev_temp_metric_get`: Temperature
- `rsmi_dev_power_ave_get`: Average power

#[cfg(feature = "monitor-stack")]
pub struct EntrenarCollector {
    metrics_rx: Receiver<TrainingMetrics>,
    history: RingBuffer<TrainingSnapshot>,
}

struct TrainingSnapshot {
    epoch: u32,
    step: u64,
    train_loss: f32,
    val_loss: Option<f32>,
    learning_rate: f32,
    grad_norm: f32,
}
```

#### 5.4.3 ZRAM Collector

```rust
#[cfg(feature = "monitor-stack")]
pub struct ZramCollector {
    devices: Vec<PathBuf>,  // /sys/block/zram*
    history: RingBuffer<ZramSnapshot>,
}

struct ZramSnapshot {
    orig_data_size: u64,
    compr_data_size: u64,
    mem_used_total: u64,
    same_pages: u64,
    pages_compacted: u64,

### 7.2 Agent Protocol

```rust
/// Message types for agent communication
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum AgentMessage {
    /// Initial handshake
    Hello {
        version: u32,
        hostname: String,
        capabilities: Vec<String>,
    },

    /// Periodic metrics update
    Metrics {
        timestamp: u64,
        metrics: HashMap<String, MetricValue>,
    },

    /// Request specific metrics
    Subscribe {
        collectors: Vec<String>,
        interval_ms: u32,
    },

    /// Graceful disconnect
    Goodbye,
}
```

**Wire Format**: MessagePack (rmp-serde) for compact binary serialization.

**Transport**: TCP with optional TLS (rustls) for encrypted communication.

### 7.3 Display Modes

| Mode | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Aggregate** | Combine metrics from all nodes (sum/avg/max) |
| **Tabs** | Switch between nodes with number keys |
| **Split** | Show all nodes in grid layout |

### 7.4 Agent Binary

```bash
# Start agent on remote node
trueno-agent --bind 0.0.0.0:9876 --tls-cert /path/to/cert.pem

# Connect from leader
trueno-monitor --cluster node1:9876,node2:9876
```

## 8. Performance Requirements

### 8.1 Frame Time Budget

| Component | Budget | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| **Metric Collection** | 5ms | Async, non-blocking |
| **State Update** | 1ms | Ring buffer operations |
| **Layout Calculation** | 2ms | Cached when terminal size unchanged |
| **Rendering** | 6ms | Differential updates only |
| **Terminal Output** | 2ms | Buffered writes |

|-----------|--------|-------|
| **History Buffers** | 5MB | 300 samples × ~50 metrics |
| **Process List** | 2MB | ~1000 processes |
| **Render Buffer** | 1MB | Terminal size × 4 bytes |
| **Static Data** | 1MB | Themes, config, strings |
| **Headroom** | 1MB | Temporary allocations |
| **Total** | <10MB | Bounded, no growth |

### 8.3 CPU Budget

| Operation | Target | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| **Idle CPU** | <1% | When paused |
| **Active CPU** | <5% | During normal operation |
| **Peak CPU** | <10% | During resize/scroll |

### 8.4 Benchmarks

```rust
#[bench]
fn bench_frame_render(b: &mut Bencher) {
    let app = App::new(Config::default());
    b.iter(|| {
        app.render_frame();
    });
}

// Target: <16ms per frame on:
// - Intel i5-8250U (laptop)
// - 80x24 terminal
// - All panels enabled
```
