Support statically linked first-party modules - #29
Conversation
Tiny Sweeper reviewAdds support for statically linked first-party modules via a new `static-link` feature in `tinybus-module`, the `module_export_static!` and `module_export_optional_static!` macros, and a `LinkedModule` struct. The host gains `attach_linked_with_config` which admits linked code and reports the host executable digest in attestation. Several unresolved findings remain: unconditional emission of `linked_module()` from `module_export!` causes duplicate symbol risk when multiple modules are declared, the linked helper is not gated on the `modules` host feature, and the linked descriptor path does not honor strict mode. State: Changes requested Review snapshot
Completeness: Complete What changedThe change introduces a code path where modules can be compiled directly into the host executable instead of being loaded as separate shared libraries. Module code uses Rust-mangled entry points generated by the new `module_export_static!` macro. The existing `module_export!` macro now unconditionally emits a `linked_module()` function that returns a `LinkedModule`. The `module_export_optional_static!` macro lets a consuming crate toggle between dynamic and static exports with its own `static-link` feature. The host's `attach_linked_with_config` method validates the descriptor, parses the manifest, checks dependencies, and then activates the module with the host executable's SHA-256 digest as the pinned attestation value. The attestation `sha256` field documentation is updated to clarify that linked modules report the digest of the host executable, not a separate release artifact. Features

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Linked modules can be admitted with unmet requirements, and a host cannot attach two unmodified linked exports from the same package. Resolve both admission issues before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Linked modules can receive broker attestation, but their new admission path skips a required-dependency check used for file-based modules. Callers also need to distinguish a host-executable digest from a digest of an individual module. The evidence does not establish a remotely reachable code-loading path. Retained concerns

Honor strict mode for linked module descriptors
LinkedModule::from_exports always passes false for the descriptor gate's strictness. Consequently, a host constructed with ModuleHost::strict(true) still admits linked code with a rustc mismatch, whereas dynamically loaded modules use the host's strict setting. A linked module can be compiled as a separate crate with a different rustc release, so this is reachable and makes the documented strict admission policy inconsistent.

Do not emit linked helpers when host module support is disabled
The @linked arm of module_export! generates a public function linked_module() that references ::tinybus::module::LinkedModule, which is only defined when the tinybus host crate is compiled with the modules feature. The macro itself is defined in tinybus-module and does not know the host's feature set, so this code will fail to compile if a module crate uses module_export! and the host binary lacks the modules feature. Gate the entire @linked expansion behind a cfg condition that reflects whether the host will support linked modules, or document that the host must enable modules.

Conditionally generate linked_module or use unique names to avoid duplicates
Each invocation of module_export! emits a function named linked_module. If a crate uses the macro more than once in the same module scope (e.g., two modules in one crate), the compiler will error on duplicate definitions. The macro should either generate a unique name per invocation (e.g., by incorporating a hash of the declaration) or be documented as single-use per crate.

Summary
Build on merged #28's static module runtime. Add a typed linked-entry wrapper and
ModuleHost::attach_linked_with_config, which checks the normal descriptor, manifest, dependency, and lifecycle gates and attests the code with the host executable's SHA-256. This lets confidential module calls distinguish linked host code from an unverified peer.Add
module_export_optional_static!so an adapter can keep one declaration while itsstatic-linkfeature selects the existing dynamic exports or #28's linked runtime. The static export also exposeslinked_module()for a host to register. Dynamic builds keep their existing C ABI.Validation
