Acaua is a collective SOC daemon consuming only Zeek log files, not a
single-user tool needing local hardware like its siblings. Drop the
Tauri desktop shell, installers and self-update entirely; the server
and its web dashboard ship as a container, updated by pulling a new
image tag.
Link against the official prebuilt libduckdb instead of compiling it
from source via the bundled feature, cutting image build time from
15+ minutes to about 3. Fix a real bug found along the way: as PID 1
in a container, the daemon ignored SIGTERM and was always killed
after the stop timeout; it now shuts down gracefully.
Also corrects the Pillar 1 beaconing score: the period estimate had a
harmonic alias (a perfectly periodic 4h series resolved to 600s), and
the old score formula flagged pure random traffic as suspicious
(p95 = 0.839 on Poisson noise). The new formula was validated against
300 samples per scenario.

Acauã: Network Detection & Threat Hunting, heuristic analysis over a
rolling 7-day window using deterministic math (time series, graph
theory, information theory) instead of opaque ML models. Third
product in the Ciberfauna ecosystem, alongside Guará and Sabiá.
Follows the ecosystem's established conventions: OpenWolf project
memory, bilingual PT-BR/EN docs and UI, Gitea Actions CI/CD on the
same self-hosted runners, Conventional Commits, SemVer, logo and
productName handling, MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensing.
Architecture decision (made with the project owner after a dedicated
consultation, not the original blueprint's suggested stack): Rust
throughout, not Python/FastAPI/React. Most of the statistics (Bowley
skew, MADM, Shannon entropy, PCR, Z-score, novel-edge detection,
pivot chains) reduces to SQL over an embedded DuckDB/Parquet store;
only the spectral analysis and graph centrality need host-language
code, and both have workable Rust crates. Documented in full, including
six corrections to the original blueprint's math (Rayleigh/Schuster
instead of a degenerate Lomb-Scargle over bare timestamps, an explicit
sentinel for Bowley skew's Q3=Q1 case, Jensen-Shannon instead of
unbounded KL, a dedicated long-connection detector, JA4 vs. JA4+
licensing caution, deterministic per-alert evidence), in
docs/architecture.md.
Skeleton only: crates/acaua-core has the four detection pillars,
fusion, storage, zeek log parsing and the updater as typed stubs that
compile and return a clear "skeleton" status rather than real
detection logic — that is separate, future work. crates/acaua-cli has
serve/analyze/doctor/update. apps/gui is a minimal Tauri shell. Also
already includes the one-click desktop self-update mechanism shared
with Guará and Sabiá (AppImage/.deb/Windows installer), even with no
release published yet, for consistency across the ecosystem.
No Gitea repository exists for this project yet; this is a local-only
commit.
