# CosmosMesh Privacy-Preserving Federated Mission Planning (CatOpt MVP) This repository holds an MVP scaffold for privacy-preserving federated mission planning across heterogeneous deep-space assets (rovers, drones, habitat modules, orbiting satellites). Key idea - Map CosmosMesh primitives to a lightweight CatOpt-style representation to enable plug-and-play adapters and cross-domain experimentation without heavy dependencies. Core MVP outline - Objects = LocalProblems (per-asset planning tasks) - Morphisms = SharedVariables / DualVariables (data channels with versioned contracts) - Functors = Adapters translating device-specific models into canonical CosmosMesh problems - Lightweight transport (TLS-based) and a tiny ADMM-lite solver per asset - Graph-of-Contracts registry for schemas and per-message metadata to support audits and replay protection What’s included in this patch - Added a minimal CatOpt bridge module: src/cosmosmesh_privacy_preserving_federated/catopt_bridge.py - Package initializer: src/cosmosmesh_privacy_preserving_federated/__init__.py - Lightweight unit test: tests/test_catopt_bridge.py - Simple usage example via a RoundTrip encoding path - Basic README describing MVP approach and how to extend How to run tests - Ensure Python 3.8+ environment - Run: bash test.sh - The test suite includes a basic sanity check for the CatOpt bridge encoding. Next steps (high level) - Wire two starter adapters (rover planner and habitat life-support) into the bridge - Implement a small ADMM-lite solver per asset and a toy end-to-end round trip - Add delta-sync protocol scaffolding and an auditable reconciliation log This work aligns with the roadmap described in AGENTS.md and is designed to be extended incrementally.
