Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the KES agent stores keys, receives keys from the Control server, and reads configuration; compare those entry points with the proposed RTC-based evolution timing. Done means the agent evolves keys on the configured schedule without contacting the chain and honors timing supplied with new keys.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Plan:
We don't want the KES agent to actively contact the chain. Hence:
- KES agent uses system clock (RTC) to autonomously decide when to evolve keys; we tune it to be slightly late, so that when things are slightly out of synch, connecting nodes get the previous key and can evolve by themselves as needed.
- When Control server sends a new key, it also includes timing information (when the 0th evolution of the key becomes valid)
- KES agent config tells Agent at what intervals to evolve.
