• Epic: Complete Procmond Implementation
• Related Issues: #39, #89, #40, #103, #64

Ticket Completion Order#

Execute tickets in order. Each ticket's dependencies must be complete
before starting.

Phase 1: Event Bus#

Integration

• Ticket
  1: Implement
  Write-Ahead Log and Event Bus Connector
  • ✅ WAL component (verified existing implementation meets all
    criteria)
  • ✅ EventBusConnector with WAL integration
  • ✅ Event buffering (10MB) and replay
  • ✅ Dynamic backpressure (70% threshold)

Phase 2: RPC and Lifecycle#

Management

• Ticket
  2: Implement
  Actor Pattern and Startup Coordination
  • Actor pattern in ProcmondMonitorCollector
  • Replace LocalEventBus with EventBusConnector
  • Startup coordination ("begin monitoring" wait)
  • Dynamic interval adjustment from backpressure
  • Requires: Ticket 1
• Ticket
  3: Implement
  RPC Service and Registration Manager
  • RpcServiceHandler component
  • RegistrationManager component
  • Lifecycle operations (HealthCheck, UpdateConfig,
    GracefulShutdown)
  • Heartbeat publishing (30s interval)
  • Requires: Ticket 2
• Ticket
  4: Implement
  Agent Loading State and Heartbeat Detection
  • Collector configuration format (agent.yaml)
  • Loading state machine (Loading → Ready → Steady State)
  • Heartbeat failure detection with escalating actions
  • Note: This is daemoneye-agent work, not
    procmond
  • Requires: Tickets 2, 3

Phase 3: Testing#

• Ticket 5: Implement
  Comprehensive Test Suite
  • Unit tests (>80% coverage)
  • Integration tests (event bus, RPC, cross-platform)
  • Chaos tests (connection failures, backpressure)
  • Security tests (privilege escalation, injection, DoS)
  • Requires: Tickets 1, 2, 3, 4

Phase 4: Hardening#

• Ticket 6: Implement
  Security Hardening and Data Sanitization
  • Privilege detection (Linux caps, Windows tokens, macOS
    entitlements)
  • Command-line and environment variable sanitization
  • Security boundary validation
  • Security test suite
  • Requires: Ticket 5

Phase 5: Platform#

and Performance Validation

• Ticket 7: Validate FreeBSD
  Platform Support
  • Test FallbackProcessCollector on FreeBSD 13+
  • Document limitations (basic metadata only)
  • Platform detection and capability reporting
  • Requires: Ticket 5
• Ticket 8: Validate
  Performance and Optimize
  • Benchmark process enumeration (<100ms for 1,000 processes)
  • Load test with 10,000+ processes
  • Memory profiling (<100MB sustained)
  • CPU monitoring (<5% sustained)
  • Regression testing
  • Requires: Tickets 6, 7

Success Criteria#

• Process enumeration works on Linux,
  macOS, Windows (full) and FreeBSD (basic)
• Event bus communication with
  daemoneye-agent is reliable
• Service lifecycle
  (start/stop/health) works via RPC
• Privilege boundaries enforced and
  validated
• Performance targets met (see Ticket
  8)
• ☐
