Compute Service

The compute service is a planned service for running computation against an space's data under capability control. It is named in the whitepaper's service list but has no implementing code in tinycloud-node today.

Role

It would extend the protocol from storage services (kv/sql/…) to computation — letting an owner grant a scoped right to run logic over their data rather than exporting it. The shape (tinycloud.compute/{execute, deploy, …}) is indicative, not specified.

Status & drift

Planned / not implemented. No compute service exists in tinycloud-core; design intent for it was not captured beyond the whitepaper mention (some "MPC" ideas folded into threshold-decryption instead). See the roadmap entry compute and contradictions (whitepaper lists a service the code lacks).

Relationships

A future service; would be gated like any service by capabilities; tracked in the roadmap.
