# Contract: tile_downloader **Component**: c11_tilemanager **Producer task**: AZ-316_c11_tile_downloader (initial), AZ-777 Phase 1 (cycle-3 inventory-contract adaptation) **Consumer tasks**: AZ-253 (E-C12 Operator Pre-flight Tooling — TBD at C12 decompose time) **Version**: 1.1.0 **Status**: stable **Last Updated**: 2026-05-26 ## Purpose The `TileDownloader` Protocol is C11's operator-side download interface. C12 invokes it during F1 (pre-flight cache build) to fetch satellite tiles from the parent suite's `satellite-provider` inventory + slippy-map surface, apply RESTRICT-SAT-4 resolution gating at the C11 boundary, and write accepted tiles into C6. Freshness rejections surfacing from C6 (AZ-307) are counted and surfaced in the report. C11 is operator-side ONLY; ADR-004 forbids the airborne companion image from importing this module. **Upstream API (cycle 3 — AZ-777 Phase 1)**: against the real parent-suite `satellite-provider` v1.0.0 inventory contract — `POST /api/satellite/tiles/inventory` (bulk lookup by `(zoom, x, y)`, ≤ 5000 entries / request, per `tile-inventory.md` v1.0.0 / AZ-505) + `GET /tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}` (slippy-map JPEG fetch, issued only for inventory entries with `present=true`). Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer ${SATELLITE_PROVIDER_API_KEY}`; the dev-only `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_TLS_INSECURE=1` env knob accepts the self-signed dev cert (production must validate against a CA-issued cert). Because the inventory response carries no `Content-Length` hint, AZ-308's pre-write budget pre-check uses a conservative `_DEFAULT_ESTIMATED_TILE_BYTES = 50 000` per-tile reserve. ## Shape ### Function / method API ```python from typing import Protocol, runtime_checkable from pathlib import Path @runtime_checkable class TileDownloader(Protocol): def download_tiles_for_area(self, request: DownloadRequest) -> DownloadBatchReport: ... def enumerate_remote_coverage(self, bbox: Bbox, zoom_levels: list[int]) -> list[TileSummary]: ... ``` | Name | Signature | Throws / Errors | Blocking? | |------|-----------|-----------------|-----------| | `download_tiles_for_area` | `(request: DownloadRequest) -> DownloadBatchReport` | `SatelliteProviderError`, `RateLimitedError`, `ResolutionRejectionError`, `CacheBudgetExceededError`, `TileFsError`, `TileMetadataError` | sync (offline; minutes) | | `enumerate_remote_coverage` | `(bbox: Bbox, zoom_levels: list[int]) -> list[TileSummary]` | `SatelliteProviderError`, `RateLimitedError` | sync (seconds) | ### Data DTOs ```python @dataclass(frozen=True) class DownloadRequest: bbox: Bbox # from c6_tile_cache zoom_levels: tuple[int, ...] sector_class: SectorClassification # from c6_tile_cache satellite_provider_url: str # parent-suite base URL service_api_key: str # TLS + service-internal cache_root: Path # operator workstation flight_id: uuid.UUID # tags downloads in C6 metadata @dataclass(frozen=True) class DownloadBatchReport: tiles_downloaded: int tiles_rejected_freshness: int # raised by AZ-307 at C6 boundary tiles_rejected_resolution: int # rejected by C11 (RESTRICT-SAT-4) tiles_downgraded: int # stable_rear stale → DOWNGRADED label freshness_summary: dict[FreshnessLabel, int] outcome: DownloadOutcome # success | failure | idempotent_no_op failure_reason: str | None @dataclass(frozen=True) class TileSummary: tile_id: TileId # from c6_tile_cache produced_at: datetime resolution_m_per_px: float estimated_bytes: int ``` | Field | Type | Required | Description | Constraints | |-------|------|----------|-------------|-------------| | `DownloadRequest.bbox` | `Bbox` | yes | Operational area | min_lat ≤ max_lat, min_lon ≤ max_lon | | `DownloadRequest.zoom_levels` | `tuple[int, ...]` | yes | Zoom levels to fetch | each in `[0, 21]`; deduplicated | | `DownloadRequest.sector_class` | `SectorClassification` | yes | Drives freshness rule applied at C6 | `ACTIVE_CONFLICT \| STABLE_REAR` | | `DownloadRequest.cache_root` | `Path` | yes | Operator workstation cache dir | must exist; must be writable | | `DownloadBatchReport.tiles_downloaded` | `int` | yes | Tiles written to C6 successfully | ≥ 0 | | `DownloadBatchReport.tiles_rejected_resolution` | `int` | yes | Tiles rejected at C11 boundary for < 0.5 m/px | ≥ 0 | | `DownloadBatchReport.tiles_rejected_freshness` | `int` | yes | Count of `FreshnessRejectionError` raised by C6 (AZ-307) | ≥ 0 | | `DownloadBatchReport.outcome` | `DownloadOutcome` | yes | Aggregate outcome | enum | ## Invariants - I-1: `tiles_downloaded + tiles_rejected_resolution + tiles_rejected_freshness == sum of attempted tiles`. The report accounts for every tile the downloader attempted; no silent drops. - I-2: A re-run of `download_tiles_for_area` for the same `(bbox, zoom_levels, sector_class, flight_id)` after a successful prior run is idempotent: `outcome = idempotent_no_op` and no GETs are issued. Idempotence is enforced by C11's download-progress journal under `cache_root/.c11/journal/`. - I-3: Every accepted tile passes BOTH the C11 resolution gate (≥ 0.5 m/px per RESTRICT-SAT-4) AND the C6 freshness gate (AZ-307). A tile that fails either is excluded from `tiles_downloaded`. - I-4: JWT Bearer authentication (`SATELLITE_PROVIDER_API_KEY`) over TLS authenticates the inventory POST and the slippy-map GET; auth failure surfaces as `SatelliteProviderError` and aborts the run with `outcome = failure`. The downloader does NOT fall back to plaintext or unauthenticated requests. `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_TLS_INSECURE=1` is a dev-only knob for self-signed certs; production must run with it unset. - I-5: The downloader writes via the AZ-303 `TileStore`/`TileMetadataStore` Protocols; it does NOT touch C6's filesystem layout directly. - I-6: A `CacheBudgetExceededError` aborts pre-write with no partial write and `outcome = failure`. The C6 cache budget enforcer (AZ-308) drives the headroom check. ## Non-Goals - Not covered: airborne or in-flight downloads (RESTRICT-SAT-1 forbids them; airborne process cannot import this module per ADR-004). - Not covered: orchestration of when the operator runs F1 — owned by C12. - Not covered: cache artifact build (descriptors, FAISS index) — owned by C10 after the downloader populates C6. - Not covered: tile uploads to `satellite-provider` ingest — owned by `TileUploader` (separate contract). - Not covered: parsing or validation of `satellite-provider`'s authentication payload beyond what `httpx` provides — out of scope for the onboard side. ## Versioning Rules - **Breaking changes** (renamed method, removed required field, changed return type) require a major version bump. C12 is the sole consumer today; coordinate via Choose A/B/C/D when bumping. - **Non-breaking additions** (new optional field on the report, new error variant the consumer already catches via the family) require a minor version bump. ## Test Cases | Case | Input | Expected | Notes | |------|-------|----------|-------| | download-happy-path | `DownloadRequest` for Derkachi bbox with mix of fresh active_conflict + stable_rear tiles | `DownloadBatchReport` with `tiles_downloaded > 0`; sum of report counts equals attempt count; tiles present in C6 | C11-IT-01 | | freshness-rejection-counts | source returns stale tiles in active_conflict sector | `DownloadBatchReport.tiles_rejected_freshness > 0`; matches C6's AZ-307 rejection count for that batch | C11-IT-02 | | resolution-gate-rejects | source returns tile with `resolution_m_per_px = 0.3` (< 0.5) | tile excluded from `tiles_downloaded`; `tiles_rejected_resolution += 1`; no C6 write attempted | RESTRICT-SAT-4 | | auth-failure-aborts | invalid `service_api_key` | first GET raises `SatelliteProviderError`; `outcome = failure`; no tiles written | I-4 | | budget-exceeded-aborts | pre-write check shows insufficient headroom | `CacheBudgetExceededError`; `outcome = failure`; zero partial writes | I-6 | | idempotent-rerun | second call with identical request after success | `outcome = idempotent_no_op`; zero GETs observed | I-2 | | rate-limited-honors-retry-after | source returns 429 with `Retry-After: 30` | downloader sleeps ≥ 30s before retry; no `RateLimitedError` raised on success path | RFC 6585 | ## Change Log | Version | Date | Change | Author | |---------|------|--------|--------| | 1.1.0 | 2026-05-26 | Internal upstream contract adapted to `satellite-provider` v1.0.0 inventory contract (AZ-777 Phase 1): `POST /api/satellite/tiles/inventory` + `GET /tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}` replace the previous `GET /api/satellite/tiles?bbox=…&zoom=…` shape. `download_tiles_for_area` / `DownloadRequest` / `DownloadBatchReport` surface UNCHANGED — non-breaking minor bump.
