logos-cpp-sdk/README.md

Layering note: since the protocol extraction and the Qt split, this repo is the Qt-free base SDK — header-only developer surface for universal module implementations (logos_module_context.h, logos_result.h, logos_json.h) plus the logos-cpp-generator code generator (Qt-free outputs: std typed wrappers, the logos_sdk umbrella, cdylib C-ABI impl-exports, LIDL derivation). Generated Qt glue comes from two other binaries: the Qt-typed consumer wrappers and the ui_qml view-plugin glue from logos-qt-sdk's logos-qt-generator (--backend consumer / --backend ui), and the Qt-plugin (provider) glue from logos-plugin-qt's logos-qt-host-generator --backend cdylib. Transports, the consumer core, the Qt LogosResult and the lp_* C ABI live in logos-protocol; the Qt developer layer is published as logos-qt-sdk's CMake package (logos-qt-sdk::logos_qt_sdk), but the code behind it — LogosAPI, LogosProviderBase, the QObject adapter — now lives in logos-plugin-qt's logos-qt-host.

How to Build

Using Nix (Recommended)

The project includes a Nix flake for reproducible builds with a modular structure:

Build Complete SDK (Library + Headers + Generator)

# Build everything (default)
nix build

# Or explicitly
nix build '.#logos-cpp-sdk'
nix build '.#default'

The result will include:

• /bin/logos-cpp-generator - Code generator binary
• /lib/cmake/logos-cpp-sdk/ - The CMake package (find_package(logos-cpp-sdk)). There is no compiled library here: the base SDK is header-only since the transports moved to logos-protocol
• /include/ and /include/cpp/ - The same headers in both roots (the CMake-export layout and the source-export layout). A quoted include has to resolve its siblings from whichever root pulled it in, so both are shipped
• /share/lidl-frontend/ - The shared C++/Qt codegen helpers logos-qt-sdk's logos-qt-generator compiles against

Build Individual Components

# Build only the generator binary (outputs to /bin)
nix build '.#logos-cpp-bin'

# Build only the CMake package (header-only: /include + /lib/cmake, no archive)
nix build '.#logos-cpp-lib'

# Build only the headers, in the source-export layout (/include and /include/cpp)
nix build '.#logos-cpp-include'

# Legacy alias for generator
nix build '.#cpp-generator'

Development Shell

# Enter development shell with all dependencies
nix develop

Note: In zsh, you need to quote the target (e.g., '.#logos-cpp-sdk') to prevent glob expansion.

If you don't have flakes enabled globally, add experimental flags:

nix build '.#logos-cpp-sdk' --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'

The compiled artifacts can be found at result/

Modular Architecture

The nix build system is organized into modular files in the /nix directory:

• nix/default.nix - Common configuration (dependencies, flags, metadata)
• nix/bin.nix - Generator binary compilation
• nix/lib.nix - Header-only SDK: installs the headers + the CMake package
• nix/include.nix - Header installation (source-export layout)
• nix/tests.nix - gtest suite (build + run via nix build '.#tests')
• nix/tests-generator-cli.nix - The generator-cli check: runs the built binary, which is the only place a retired CLI flag can be asserted on (the gtest suite links the generator's internals and never executes it)

Run Tests

# Build and run all tests (build fails if any test fails)
nix build '.#tests'

# Run the built binary against its retired/renamed CLI flags
nix build '.#checks.<system>.generator-cli'

The three test binaries are available in result/bin/ and can be re-run with filters:

./result/bin/sdk_tests --gtest_filter="LogosModuleContextTest.*"
./result/bin/generator_tests --gtest_filter="*PascalCase*"
./result/bin/experimental_tests --gtest_filter="*Cdylib*"

Manual Build

Building the Code Generator

cd cpp-generator
./compile.sh

compile.sh builds into <parent-of-this-repo>/build/cpp-generator, so the binary lands at ../../build/cpp-generator/bin/logos-cpp-generator relative to this checkout (it assumes the checkout directory is named logos-cpp-sdk).

CMake must be able to resolve two out-of-tree dependencies for this to work: find_package(logos-lidl) — the canonical LIDL frontend the generator links — and the logos-protocol headers, via -DLOGOS_PROTOCOL_ROOT= / the LOGOS_PROTOCOL_ROOT environment variable / a sibling ../../logos-protocol checkout. The Nix build (above) wires both for you.

Usage

Code Generator

The logos-cpp-generator tool generates C++ wrapper code for Logos plugins.

Basic Usage

# Generate the wrapper for a single BUILT plugin (uses default output directory).
# This path loads the plugin and reads its Qt metaobject / getMethods(), so it
# only works for a plugin built for the machine running the generator.
logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin.dylib

# Specify custom output directory
logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin.dylib --output-dir /custom/output/path

# `--module-only` is accepted here but is a no-op: this path only ever emits the
# module pair. It is kept because existing callers still pass it.
logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin.dylib --output-dir /custom/output --module-only

Generate from Metadata

# List dependencies from metadata.json
logos-cpp-generator --metadata /path/to/metadata.json

# Generate a wrapper per dependency, each from that dependency's LIDL contract
logos-cpp-generator --metadata /path/to/metadata.json --umbrella \
  --dep waku_module=/path/to/waku_module.lidl

# Generate only the umbrella (assumes the module wrapper files already exist)
logos-cpp-generator --metadata /path/to/metadata.json --umbrella

# Generate the umbrella into a custom output directory
logos-cpp-generator --metadata /path/to/metadata.json --umbrella --output-dir /custom/output

--general-only is an exact alias for --umbrella (it is the spelling LogosModule.cmake, buildPlugin.nix and buildHeaders.nix all pass today), so the two run the same single implementation.

Options

--output-dir /path/to/output

• Default: If not specified, generated files are placed in logos-cpp-sdk/cpp/generated/
• Custom: Specify any directory for the generated files
• The output directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist

--module-only

• On the plugin path (logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin.dylib) it is accepted and ignored — that path only ever emits the requested module's <name>_api.h / <name>_api.cpp pair. generate-module-headers.sh always passes the flag, so it stays tolerated rather than rejected
• On the --lidl client-stub path it is honoured: it suppresses the umbrella (logos_sdk.*) and emits only the module pair

--umbrella (alias: --general-only)

• When specified with --metadata, generates only the umbrella SDK files
• Assumes module wrapper files already exist in the output directory
• Generates: logos_sdk.h, logos_sdk.cpp. There is no core_manager_api.* — the runtime's core manager was never a LogosModules member, and the generator emits no wrapper for it; apps that need to manage the core use liblogos' C API
• The umbrella headers will include references to all modules listed in the metadata's dependencies array
• For each dependency (e.g., "waku_module"), it will:
  • Include waku_module_api.h in the header
  • Include waku_module_api.cpp in the source
  • Create a WakuModule waku_module; member in the LogosModules struct
• Takes one --dep <name>=<path/to/<name>.lidl> per dependency and generates that dependency's wrapper from its contract, so no dependency plugin has to be built (and it works under cross-compilation)
• --interface <name>=<file.lidl|file.h>[=<ImplClass>] does the same for an interface dependency, which additionally gets a bind_<name>(provider) factory
• --api-style qt|lp picks the type surface (see API style below); --binding api|origin picks whether the umbrella holds a LogosAPI or states this module's own name as the call origin

--provider-header — REMOVED

• Generated the LOGOS_METHOD-marked provider dispatch behind interface: "provider". Both are gone: every provider now goes through the module-impl C ABI
• The generator refuses the flag with a message naming interface: "universal", where a plain src/<name>_impl.h is the contract

--module-dir /path/to/modules — REMOVED

• Generated a wrapper per dependency by loading each dependency's BUILT plugin from a modules directory and reading its Qt metaobject
• The generator now refuses the flag rather than ignoring it; use --umbrella with --dep as above

Generated Files

Plugin path (logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin.dylib), with or without --module-only:

• <module>_api.h and <module>_api.cpp — the wrapper for that one plugin, and nothing else

With --umbrella / --general-only:

• logos_sdk.h and logos_sdk.cpp — the umbrella that aggregates the wrappers
• Plus one <name>_api.{h,cpp} pair per --dep / --interface spec passed

With --lidl <contract> --backend cdylib --impl-class <C>:

• <name>_types.h, <name>_module_impl.cpp, and — when the contract declares events — <name>_events_cdylib.cpp

With --from-header <impl.h> --backend cdylib: the same three, plus the derived <name>.lidl. --header-to-lidl emits only the .lidl.

Typical Workflow

A common workflow is to generate module wrappers separately, then generate the umbrella SDK:

# Step 1: Generate individual module wrappers
logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin1.dylib --output-dir ./generated
logos-cpp-generator /path/to/plugin2.dylib --output-dir ./generated

# Step 2: Generate the umbrella SDK (references the modules from step 1)
logos-cpp-generator --metadata metadata.json --umbrella --output-dir ./generated

This approach gives you fine-grained control over which modules to include and allows rebuilding just the umbrella headers without regenerating all module wrappers.

The three call surfaces on a generated wrapper

Every LIDL method foo(...) -> T produces three entry points:

// 1. sync — optional error out-channel, optional deadline. Both trailing and
//    defaulted, so `dep.foo(a, b)` and `dep.foo(a, b, &err)` are unchanged.
T    foo(params…, logos::CallError* err = nullptr, Timeout timeout = Timeout());

// 2. async, value only — the historical form, unchanged.
void fooAsync(params…, std::function<void(T)> cb, Timeout timeout = Timeout());

// 3. async, value + error.
void fooAsyncResult(params…, std::function<void(logos::AsyncResult<T>)> cb,
                    Timeout timeout = Timeout());

Use (3) whenever a default-constructed T is also a legal success value — which is almost always. fooAsync hands the callback a bare T, so a failed call and a provider that genuinely returned 0 / "" / false are indistinguishable; that is exactly the ambiguity the sync form's CallError* exists to resolve.

dep.balanceAsyncResult(account, [](logos::AsyncResult<qlonglong> r) {
    if (!r.ok()) {                       // r.error is {code, message, origin}
        qWarning() << "balance failed:" << r.error.code.c_str();
        return;
    }
    use(r.value);                        // now known to be a real answer
});

logos::AsyncResult<T> (logos_async_result.h) is { T value; CallError error; } plus ok(); AsyncResult<void> carries only the error, so a void-returning method has the same callback shape as every other one.

The name is deliberately distinct rather than an overload of fooAsync: two overloads differing only in std::function<void(T)> vs std::function<void(AsyncResult<T>)> are ambiguous for a generic lambda ([](auto v){…}), which would break existing call sites.

Qt-free (--api-style lp) wrappers spell the deadline int timeout_ms = 0 (<= 0 selects the protocol default) because Timeout lives in a Qt header, and they do not yet get fooAsyncResult — logos-protocol's lp_invoke_async does not report the call error to its callback, so an AsyncResult there would report success on a failed call.

Universal modules: LogosModuleContext

Universal (codegen-driven) modules — those built from a plain src/<name>_impl.h header rather than a handcrafted QObject plugin — don't see the raw LogosAPI at all. The contract is derived from that header: the module's ordinary public methods are its API, with no marker of any kind (there used to be a LOGOS_METHOD marker under interface: "provider"; both are gone). metadata.json#codegen.impl_class / codegen.impl_header name the class and the header when they differ from the defaults (<Name>Impl in src/<name>_impl.h). Instead of a LogosAPI, the generated C-ABI export TU (<name>_module_impl.cpp) populates a narrow LogosModuleContext base class with everything an impl typically needs:

• Three host-injected properties exposed as typed getters
• A LogosModules aggregate for calling other modules

An impl opts in by inheriting from LogosModuleContext (defined in logos_module_context.h):

#include <logos_module_context.h>
#include <logos_json.h>
#include "logos_sdk.h"      // generated at build time; defines LogosModules

class MyModuleImpl : public LogosModuleContext {
public:
    LogosMap doWork(const std::string& input) {
        // Cross-module call through the flat LogosModules aggregator.
        // Because this module is `interface: "universal"`, mkLogosModule.nix
        // passed -DLOGOS_API_STYLE=lp to the codegen, so every <Dep>
        // wrapper takes/returns std types — no Qt at the call site.
        std::string reply = modules().some_dep.echo(input);
        // ...
    }

protected:
    void onContextReady() override {
        // One-time setup: the getters below are now readable.
        // Fires exactly once, before any method dispatch.
        std::string dataDir = instancePersistencePath();
        // open files, prime caches, etc.
    }
};

Documenting methods: a doc comment (/// or /** … */) directly above a method declaration becomes that method's description in the generated getMethods() output, so it surfaces in lm methods, logoscore module-info, and Basecamp's Methods list — no describe call needed:

/// Processes the input and returns a result map.
LogosMap doWork(const std::string& input);

Plain // and /* … */ comments are ignored (so section separators don't leak into the API). See cpp-generator/docs/spec.md → Method documentation for details.

Documenting events: events are the other half of a module's API — declared in a logos_events: section and surfaced the same way. A doc comment above an event declaration becomes that event's description. Events are reported inside the generated getMethods() output (each entry tagged type: "event", methods tagged type: "method"); the framework exposes filtered views — getPluginMethods(), getPluginEvents(), getPluginInterface() — so the event surfaces in lm events, logoscore module-info's Events section, and Basecamp's Interface screen:

logos_events:
    /// Emitted once the user has authenticated.
    /// Carries the freshly issued session token.
    void userLoggedIn(const std::string& userId, const std::string& token);

Event entries carry type: "event", name, signature, parameters[], and description (no returnType — events are fire-and-forget). Folding events into getMethods() rather than adding a getEvents() vtable method keeps the provider ABI stable across SDK versions. See cpp-generator/docs/spec.md → Event documentation for details.

Available getters:

Getter	Description
modulePath()	Directory containing the module's plugin file. Useful for loading bundled resources (icons, QML files, schema docs).
moduleName()	This module's own registry name — the name other modules address it by, and the origin it authenticates as. The typed wrappers bake their origin in at codegen time; a by-name call has to state it.
instanceId()	Stable per-instance ID assigned by the host. Two side-by-side instances of the same module get distinct IDs.
instancePersistencePath()	Per-instance writable data directory the host owns the lifecycle of. The canonical place for module state (config, caches, small databases). Wiped on uninstall; survives upgrades.
isContextReady()	True once the framework has populated the getters above. Flipped before onContextReady() fires, so helpers that may run earlier (e.g. during construction in tests that bypass the framework) can guard on it.
modules()	The module's flat LogosModules aggregate — one accessor per metadata.json#dependencies entry, plus a bind_<name>(provider) factory per interface dependency and — on the lp surface universal modules get — an untyped dynamic(target) escape hatch returning a logos::LpClient (the runtime's core manager is deliberately not there; apps that need to manage the core do so via liblogos' C API). LogosModules is forward-declared in the SDK header and made complete by the impl's #include "logos_sdk.h", so the call site just writes modules().some_dep.someMethod(...). Each accessor's wrapper class signatures use the type surface picked at THIS module's build time (see "API style" below).

API style: Qt vs std

Each module's build picks one API style for the generated <Module> client wrappers and the LogosModules umbrella — they're mutually exclusive, no composite output:

metadata.json#interface	LOGOS_API_STYLE	Wrapper signatures
"cdylib", or "universal" with type other than ui_qml	lp	std::string, std::vector<std::string>, LogosMap, LogosList, int64_t, StdLogosResult
"legacy" / absent, and "universal" with type: "ui_qml"	qt (default)	QString, QStringList, QVariantList, QVariantMap, qlonglong/qulonglong, LogosResult

The valid interface values are "legacy" (the default when the key is absent), "universal" and "cdylib". A fourth, "provider" — the LOGOS_METHOD-marked Qt provider — was removed; logos-module-builder now throws on it rather than silently generating no glue.

A third value, std, used to name a std-typed surface whose body still went through QVariant + LogosAPIClient. It was retired once universal modules moved to lp; --api-style=std is now rejected outright rather than aliased, so a stale build fails loudly instead of silently getting Qt signatures.

mkLogosModule.nix reads interface and threads -DLOGOS_API_STYLE=lp through to the codegen for universal modules; everyone else defaults to Qt and stays bit-for-bit backward compatible. Inside the universal module's .cpp, the call site is:

// Universal module (api-style=lp):
std::string reply = modules().some_dep.echo("hi");

…and in a handcrafted Qt module the same call is:

// Legacy module, or a universal ui_qml view plugin (api-style=qt):
QString reply = modules().some_dep.echo(QString("hi"));

The two carry the same values; the lp wrapper marshals them over the logos-protocol C ABI (lp_*) instead of QVariant, so the calling translation unit needs zero Qt headers and links no qt-sdk.

Migrating to std types: The default is derived from interface (plus type, per the table above). A handcrafted module that wants std types should switch to interface: "universal". There is one override key — metadata.json#codegen.consumer_api_style — and only one direction of it is reachable: a module packaged as a cdylib may ask for "qt" (Qt-typed, origin-bound wrappers). A Qt-plugin module asking for "lp" is refused, because nothing would populate the token store the lp wrappers read, and every outbound call would come back as a default value with no error raised.

All getters return empty / null values when the module is loaded outside a host that provisions a context (CLI tests, unit tests using the impl directly). The onContextReady() hook still fires once at framework load time; tests that bypass the framework can call _logosCoreSetContext_ / _logosCoreSetLogosModulesPtr_ directly to simulate.

Codegen does NOT require inheritance — modules that don't inherit LogosModuleContext compile unchanged. The generated export TU routes every wire-up through SFINAE'd helpers (_logos_codegen_::maybeSetModuleName / maybeSetContext / maybeSetLogosModules / maybeSetEmitEvent), called from a one-shot latch that the first logos_module_dispatch / logos_module_set_context / logos_module_set_emit_callback trips; the non-inheriting overloads collapse to no-ops.

Events: logos_events:

Universal modules declare events in a Qt-signals:-style logos_events: section. The codegen parses each prototype, emits the matching method bodies in a sidecar <name>_events_cdylib.cpp (Qt-MOC style), and ships a <name>.lidl file describing them so consumer-side codegen can produce typed subscribers:

#include <logos_module_context.h>

class MyModuleImpl : public LogosModuleContext {
public:
    void doWork() {
        userLoggedIn("alice", 12345);              // typed emit — same name as the declaration
    }

logos_events:                                       // expands to `public:`; parsed by the codegen
    void userLoggedIn(const std::string& userId, int64_t timestamp);
    void messageReceived(const std::string& from, const std::string& body);
};

The author writes only the declarations; the codegen supplies the bodies (analogous to Qt MOC for signals:). Each call marshals typed args into an nlohmann::json array and routes them through LogosModuleContext::emitEventImpl_ → the logos_module_emit_cb the host installed via logos_module_set_emit_callback → the host's own event channel. (The marshalling used to be into a QVariantList handed to LogosProviderBase::emitEvent; that path belonged to the Qt provider glue, which a universal module no longer has — its whole impl side is Qt-free.) No wire-format change.

Consumer side — typed on<EventName>(...) accessors are generated on the dep's <Module> wrapper. On the Qt surface a generic on(eventName, callback) channel sits alongside them as a forward-compat escape hatch; the lp surface has only the typed accessors (reach for logos::LpClient::subscribe directly if you need an untyped one):

// From any module that depends on the one declaring the events:
modules().my_module.onUserLoggedIn(
    [](const std::string& userId, int64_t timestamp) {
        // typed args, no manual QVariantList unpacking
    });

The accessor's parameter types follow the consumer's own --api-style (so a universal consumer sees const std::string& / int64_t, a handcrafted Qt consumer sees const QString& / qlonglong).

API

LogosResult

Where it lives: the Qt LogosResult shown below is not in this repo — it is declared in logos-protocol's cpp/logos_types.h, along with LogosResultException. What this repo's logos_result.h ships is the Qt-free StdLogosResult ({ bool success; nlohmann::json value; std::string error; }), which is what a universal module returns; the generated glue converts it to the Qt LogosResult for Qt callers. The section below describes the Qt-typed consumer surface.

LogosResult provides a structured way to return either a value or an error from synchronous method calls.

If the success attribute is true, you can retrieve the value using a cast. Otherwise, retrieve the error which should be a string (though not enforced).

The success attribute should ALWAYS be asserted. Accessing the value of an errored LogosResult or the error of a valid LogosResult will result in a LogosResultException being thrown.

Example

LogosResult result = m_logos->my_module.someMethod();
if (result.success) {
    // Use shorthand
    QString value = result.getString();
    // Or
    QString value = result.getValue<QString>();
} else {
    // Use shorthand
    QString error = result.getError();
    // Or
    QString error = result.getError<QString>();
}

Complex objects

Let's say you need to return a complex object. In the SDK, you have to build your type with primitive like QVariantMap:

// Received JSON: {"cid": "QmXyz...", "filename": "photo.jpg", "size": 2048576, "mimetype": "image/jpeg"}

QVariantMap manifest;
manifest["cid"] = "QmXyz...";
manifest["filename"] = "photo.jpg";
manifest["size"] = 2048576;
manifest["mimetype"] = "image/jpeg";
return {true, manifest};

And then to consume by using the shorthand function:

LogosResult result = m_logos->my_plugin.someMethod(cid);
if (result.success) {
  QString cid = result.getString("cid");
  // You can define a default value as well
  QString cid = result.getString("cid", "unknown");
}

Or you can use the value directly:

LogosResult result = m_logos->my_plugin.someMethod(cid);
if (result.success) {
    QVariantMap manifest = result.getMap();
    QString cid = manifest["cid"].toString();
}

Same thing for a list, you can use QVariantList:

QVariantList manifests;

QVariantMap m1;
m1["cid"] = "QmAbc...";
m1["filename"] = "document.pdf";
m1["size"] = 1024000;
manifests.append(m1);

QVariantMap m2;
m2["cid"] = "QmDef...";
m2["filename"] = "image.png";
m2["size"] = 512000;
manifests.append(m2);

return {true, manifests};

To consume it using the shorthand function:

LogosResult result = m_logos->my_plugin.someMethod();
if (result.success) {
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i) {
        QString cid = result.getString(i, "cid");
        // You can define a default value as well
        QString cid = result.getString(0, "cid", "unknown");
    }
}

Or you can use the value directly:

LogosResult result = m_logos->my_plugin.someMethod();
if (result.success) {
    QVariantList list = result.getList();
    for (const QVariant& item : list) {
        QVariantMap manifest = item.toMap();
        QString cid = manifest["cid"].toString();
    }
}

Consuming the SDK

The SDK installs a CMake package. Consumers use find_package:

find_package(logos-cpp-sdk REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(my_target PRIVATE logos-cpp-sdk::logos_headers)

Every target is an INTERFACE library — the base SDK is header-only, so there is no archive to link and nothing to resolve beyond nlohmann_json, which the package config pulls in with find_dependency. (It used to also re-resolve Qt6 Core/RemoteObjects, Boost system and OpenSSL for a static archive that referenced them; the transports that needed those moved to logos-protocol.)

logos_headers is the umbrella over four narrower targets, split by what a program actually is — take the narrow one when touching a repo:

Target	Headers	For
logos-cpp-sdk::logos_common	logos_json.h, logos_result.h	The shared value types; everything below links it
logos-cpp-sdk::logos_consumer	logos_lp_client.h, logos_async_result.h	CALLING other modules — also where the generated <dep>_api.{h,cpp} and logos_sdk.h compile
logos-cpp-sdk::logos_provider	logos_module_context.h, logos_host_services.h	IMPLEMENTING a module
logos-cpp-sdk::logos_host	logos_host_core.h	STANDING UP a core and loading modules (basecamp, logoscore-cli, standalone-app, module-viewer). A module never needs this

Transports

Where they live: none of the types in this section are in this repo any more. LogosTransportConfig / LogosTransportSet / LogosTransportConfigGlobal / LogosProtocol are declared in logos-protocol (cpp/logos_transport_config.h), and LogosAPI — which consumes them — in logos-plugin-qt's logos-qt-host (published through the logos-qt-sdk CMake package). The section is kept here because it is the shape a Qt host still writes.

The runtime supports multiple transports, selected via LogosTransportConfig:

Protocol	Backend	Use case
LocalSocket	Qt Remote Objects over QLocalSocket	In-host, module-to-module (default)
Tcp	Boost.Asio + JSON/CBOR framing	Cross-host or container-to-host
TcpSsl	Boost.Asio + OpenSSL + JSON/CBOR framing	Same as TCP, with TLS

A LogosTransportSet (= std::vector<LogosTransportConfig>) lets a single provider publish on multiple endpoints simultaneously (e.g. local socket for in-process clients + TCP+SSL for remote ones):

LogosTransportConfig local;  // protocol = LocalSocket (default)

LogosTransportConfig tls;
tls.protocol = LogosProtocol::TcpSsl;
tls.host     = "0.0.0.0";
tls.port     = 7443;
tls.caFile   = "/etc/logos/ca.pem";
tls.certFile = "/etc/logos/server.pem";
tls.keyFile  = "/etc/logos/server.key";

LogosAPI* api = new LogosAPI("core_service", LogosTransportSet{local, tls}, this);

For processes that want to override the process-wide default, use LogosTransportConfigGlobal::setDefault() once at startup before any LogosAPI is constructed.
