The DataNozzle

c1312026-11-10

A page asks a repository, the repository asks the nozzle, the nozzle picks one of three sources. One switch for the whole process, never a per-page flag.

Source: c131 plan.md R1–R3, D3, D5; c130 D6 ruled 2026-11-09 (three sources); the qdash data-interface bible's Transport (R15, R25); the c1 spike in qnative (steps 3 and 4).

picks one transport

⬓synthetic

the bundled fixture world (Meridian), at a standard path; the same world the web demo uses

◇local

this machine's qcontrol: the qdash socket API first, SQLite if Tyler prefers; honest when absent

◇plane

a running Qplane at --plane-url, with a standardised credential; read-only when connected

R1 · every number is served, derived or synthetic

synthetic flows through the real pipes; the footer names the source: data: plane · hq.acme.example

R2 · views know nothing about the source

no page reads a transport; no per-page flag, ever

R3 · one type per served shape

written from the backend handler into the types crate; compared against qdash's types/api until one generates the other

The problem

Synthetic data and real data must never leak into page code. The qdash bible solved it on the web with a Transport; the native app ports the same idea to Rust so every page runs on the fixture world first and on real data without a change.

What the spike proved

All three sources existed from the third commit (qnative c1 step 3): synthetic and plane show the same rows through a fixture plane, local is honest about an absent qcontrol, a wrong credential is drawn as a state.

Open

Socket API or SQLite for local (Tyler, Q3); the credential's shape and how the app finds its plane (c131 D13, with c134 and c136).
