Change of plans, the functionality of auditEventMultiPathGet is getting rolled into auditEventGet. We're going with the hard breaking change.

Don't change your plans yet, investigate the total cost of the change - scope it out and then decide.

Yeah, it seems like a 1 line change https://github.com/MatrixAI/Polykey-Network-Status/blob/dea74578e15d4d3402f568204c65a03cb6670ce9/src/routes/api/nodes/index.ts#L38C1-L43C14 for Polykey-Network-Status. path: ['node', 'connection'], will need to be changed to paths: ['node.connection'],

I believe Polykey-Network-Dashboard will also need a dependency update for this change as well.

The audit domain does a lot of type magic. While it's impressive it's very hard to follow what's happening and why. It's really cool that the output of the getAuditEvents is narrowed by the TopicPath used. However if we wanted to tell the difference between two events then we'd have to do further narrowing anyway.

It would be a lot cleaner to have all the event types extend a generic base auditEvent type and preform further narrowing based on the event path or a type parameter.

I'm not sure this is a change I want to make in the scope of this PR however. That said, We're already making changes that have downstream affects, so it might be worth looking at.

Ok, the changes made by auditEventsMultiPathGet has been merged into auditEventsGet. Note that the changes to auditEventsGet WILL break the dashboard until that is updated.

Also note that the auditEventsGet had some type magic applied to it to automatically set it's output type based on the topicPath provided to it. This is incompatible with the multi-path changes, so it had to be removed. auditEventsGet will return just a generic AuditEventSerialized. You'll have to narrow this down by verifying the specific audit event it is.

Ready to merge. Unless we want to look into simplifying how all the types work but that can be a new PR.

Make sure @brynblack is prepared for this changeover. Spec out the procedure and review with @amydevs to document this zero downtime update.

ENG-303 Audit CLI commands for inspecting audit event history

Let's see, I'll need @amydevs input on the scope of what is affected in the dashboard. I think @brynblack will be coordinating the infrastructure changes needed for this as well.

At first blush it seems that PKNS needs to be updated to use the new API for the auditEventsGet RPC call. This is two parts

1. The path parameter is now paths: Array<Array<string>>. That part is simple.
2. The output from the RPC call was simplified to AuditEvent without inferring the sub type. So you'll need to narrow the event down the the expected connection event when processing the output. This should be doable via the path parameter of the event.

I think PKND depends on the PKNS So that will need to be updated as well. On top of that, the seed nodes will need to have the new version of the CLI with the changes to support it. Only the seed nodes need the update since only ask them for connection events.

So the minimal downtime procedure here is...

1. Merge in the audit domain changes with the lib dependency update for them.
2. Prepare PRs for PKNS and PKND that updates to handle the API changes.
3. Do a new CLI release, this should automatically update the seed nodes with the new changes.
4. Merge the PKNS and PKND changes, this should automatically update the dashboard with the new changes.

I think that covers everything? Any input @amydevs ?

We'll need a new issue for coordinating this, but I'm unsure where. Also, I can proceed with the audit domain in CLI and merge that. But a new CLI version is blocked by prep work for the dashboard supporting it.

I'm merging this now, but MatrixAI/Polykey-CLI#178 is blocked by the above mentioned prep-work
