# Review 001 — Pub (ADR-046) and Channels Integration (ADR-047)

## Status

Verified, open for remediation.

## Scope

Consolidated code review of the two commits that landed the `Pub`
operation type / `HandlerKind::Sink` (ADR-046, commit `ea66398`) and
the channels protocol + openable-ALPNs model (ADR-047, commit
`f305f8c`). The review consolidates three passes (one main summary +
two sub-reviews: one focused on ADR-046, one on the channels ADRs
034–043/047) and was produced against the tree at `f305f8c`.

Every finding below was **re-verified directly in the source** during
this consolidation pass (2026-08-12). Each finding carries: the ADR it
drifts from (if any), a severity, the exact `file:line` reference(s),
the verification status, and the unit-of-work bucket it belongs to.
Findings that did not survive verification, or that the original
reviews overstated, are called out as such.

## Baseline verification (this pass)

```
cargo test                        → 432 passed, 0 failed
cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings → clean
cargo fmt --check                 → clean
cargo doc --no-deps               → 4 warnings (see C-09)
```

The suite is green, but green is misleading here: **all coverage is
unit-level**. Not a single test wires two sides of either new protocol
together end-to-end (no `CallConnection::publish` ↔
`Dispatcher::handle_stream` round-trip; no `ChannelClient` ↔
`ChannelsAdapter` round-trip). The integration seams — which is exactly
where ADR-047 lives — are where the real problems live, and the absence
of end-to-end tests is what let both commits land green with multiple
implementation-killing defects.

## Verdict

- **ADR-046 registry half (types, `HandlerKind::Sink` validation,
  `invoke_sink`, builders, wire strings, discovery strings): solid**,
  close to spec, well tested at the unit level.
- **ADR-046 protocol half: has one implementation-killing bug** (P-01:
  publish chunks are written to a different bi-stream than the request
  — end-to-end publish cannot succeed on any transport), plus two
  unimplemented decided behaviors and an abort story that exists only
  in doc comments.
- **ADR-047: the components are good but the integration layer — the
  part ADR-047 actually decided — is scaffolding.** As committed, the
  channels protocol cannot open, use, or account for a single data
  channel end-to-end, channel 0 is dead in both directions, and a
  `publish()` cannot succeed on any transport.

The architecture is right: no channels types leaked into the call
crate, `OperationEnv` stayed a trait, the wire formats (envelope +
8-byte chunk header) match spec exactly, the `channel_open` marker
plumbing (Gap F) is complete and tested, and auth stays on the one
`AccessControl` path. What's missing is the connective tissue a
tty/docker crate would actually call.

## Severity legend

- **[critical]** — the protocol cannot function end-to-end as committed
  on any transport; or a decided spec invariant is violated in a way
  that corrupts data or causes silent permanent state damage.
- **[major]** — a decided behavior is missing, wrong, or a real
  reliability hazard; works in the happy path but fails a spec-required
  edge case or stores wrong data.
- **[minor]** — drift, convention violation, dead code, or a
  doc/spec inconsistency with no correctness impact.

# Part A — Pub / `HandlerKind::Sink` (ADR-046) findings

## P-01 [critical] — Publish chunks are written to the wrong stream; end-to-end publish cannot work

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §5, §8 (the stream lifecycle and `publish()`
client method).
**Verified:** YES. `src/protocol/connection.rs:285-311` (open stream A,
write `call.requested`), `src/protocol/connection.rs:334-362`
(`write_publish_chunks` opens a **fresh** `open_bi()` at line 343-346
and writes all `call.published` + `call.completed` on stream B).
**Responder side:** `src/protocol/dispatch.rs:433-435, 516`
(`pump_sink` reads chunks from the *same* stream the request arrived
on — stream A). Stream B arrives as a fresh `accept_bi` whose frames
hit the `handle_stream` "ignoring non-requested/non-aborted event"
branch (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:443-444`) and are silently
discarded.

**Consequences (verified):**
- Multi-stream transport (QUIC): chunks are lost; `pump_sink` blocks
  on stream A until the client's dropped write-half surfaces as
  reset/EOF — best case the handler sees an *empty* stream and returns
  a bogus result (e.g. `count: 0`), worst case it hangs until the 30s
  client-side timeout (P-05).
- Single-stream transport (`Connection::from_bidi`): the second
  `open_bi` returns `StreamClosed` (`src/core/types.rs`), so *every*
  publish fails outright with "failed to open stream".

No end-to-end publish test exists (see P-12), which is how this landed
green. **Fix:** keep stream A's write half and pump chunks on it. This
is also what a `Stream`-typed `publish` (P-02) would force
structurally. **Acceptance gate:** one end-to-end publish test that
moves ≥2 chunks and asserts the responder sees them.

## P-02 [major] — `publish()` takes `Vec<Value>`, not a `Stream`

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §8 specifies
`stream: Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = Value> + Send>>`. The implementation
is `chunks: Vec<Value>`.
**Verified:** YES. `src/protocol/connection.rs:249-254` (`publish`)
and `:268-272` (`publish_with_payload`) both take `chunks: Vec<Value>`;
`write_publish_chunks` (`:334-362`) iterates the `Vec`.

This buffers the entire publish in memory before anything is sent and
makes the ADR's flagship use cases (telemetry ingest, live upload,
drag-drop file streaming) impossible from this API — the chunk set
must be fully materialized up front. **Fix P-01 + P-02 together:**
hold stream A's write half, accept a `Stream`, pump it as
`call.published` events. This also resolves P-05's tension (a streaming
publish should register like `subscribe` with `timeout: None`, not the
30s `Call` deadline).

## P-03 [major] — `publish_schema` per-chunk validation is written but never read

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §4, and the field's own doc comment at
`src/registry/spec.rs:181-186` which says "the dispatch path validates
each `call.published` event's `payload.input` against this schema
before yielding it to the `SinkHandler`."
**Verified:** YES. `grep publish_schema` outside `src/registry/spec.rs`
matches nothing. The field is declared (`spec.rs:186`), defaults to
`None` (`:228`), and has a builder (`with_publish_schema`, `:236-239`),
and is **never read anywhere**. `pump_sink` forwards chunks as-is
(`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:527-535`). It is also missing from
`spec_to_json`, from `operation_spec_schema()`, and from `from_call`'s
`rebuild_spec_for` — so an imported Pub op loses the schema entirely.
`alktype` is a declared dependency (`Cargo.toml:21`) and AGENTS.md §10
says to use it for exactly this; it is unused in `src/`. Dead field +
documented-but-unimplemented behavior.

## P-04 [major] — Initiator `call.error` does not terminate the publish stream

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §5 event table and §6 ("`Err(call_error)` for an
initiator-side error (a `call.error` event from the initiator)"); plus
the `SinkHandler`/`PublishStream` doc contract
(`src/registry/registration.rs:26-31, 44-49`).
**Verified:** YES. `pump_sink` matches only `"call.published"`,
`"call.completed"`, `"call.aborted"` and drops everything else into a
debug-log ignore branch (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:526-550`). A
`call.error` frame is silently ignored; the only `Err` ever injected is
the `call.aborted` case, and it's an ad-hoc
`CallError::internal("publish aborted by initiator")`
(`dispatch.rs:538-543`), not the initiator's error.

## P-05 [major] — Client-side 30s timeout on Pub contradicts "long-lived, same as Sub"

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §7 ("the stream may be long-lived, same as
`Sub`") clears the deadline for Pub on the responder.
**Verified:** YES. `publish_with_payload` registers via `register_call`
with `DEFAULT_CALL_TIMEOUT` = 30s (`src/protocol/connection.rs:32,
296-303`). The sweeper resolves expired `Call` entries with `TIMEOUT`
(`src/protocol/pending.rs`). `subscribe` avoids this with
`register_subscribe(timeout: None)` (`connection.rs:215-218`). Any
publish whose stream takes >30s wall-clock gets a spurious client-side
`TIMEOUT` while the responder keeps consuming. **Fix:** register like
`subscribe` with `timeout: None` (naturally falls out of the P-01/P-02
streaming rework).

## P-06 [major] — Abort does not cancel a Pub

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §5 table (`call.aborted` | either side | "Cancel
the Pub"); ADR-020 (stream drop on abort; cascade through sink
handlers).
**Verified:** YES, both abort paths are broken:
- **Cross-stream (the path the shipped client exercises):**
  `CallConnection::abort()` sends `call.aborted` on a **new** stream
  (`src/protocol/connection.rs:236-243` → `write_envelope` → `open_bi`
  at `:388-392`). On the responder that frame is handled by a different
  `handle_stream` task, whose `handle_abort` only mutates the
  `PendingRequestMap` (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:381-389`). Inbound
  requests are never registered in that map, and nothing links the map
  to the spawned `handle_stream`/`pump_sink` task — the running
  `SinkHandler` and feed loop are untouched. The doc comments at
  `dispatch.rs:494-498` (and `:459-462` for `pump_stream`) describe a
  cancellation mechanism that does not exist.
- **Same-stream (dead-untested):** `pump_sink` injects an `Err` and
  breaks the feed on `call.aborted` (`dispatch.rs:538-543`), then
  **still `tokio::join!`s the handler to completion and writes the
  response back to the aborting initiator** (`:562-568`). The handler
  future is never dropped.

Net: an initiator cannot actually cancel an in-flight Pub. (The
`pump_stream` half of this predates ADR-046, but ADR-046 §5 explicitly
promises abort-cancels-Pub, so it is in scope here.) **Also:** during a
sink pump, `call.aborted` frames for **other** request IDs on the same
stream are dropped by the id-mismatch guard before the type match
(`dispatch.rs:518-525`) — a conforming peer that serializes calls on
one stream loses requests. Same for a second `call.requested`
multiplexed on that stream.

## P-07 [major] — Handler-returns-early: response withheld until the initiator finishes

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §7 (long-lived publish streams).
**Verified:** YES. `pump_sink` uses `tokio::join!(feed_fut, handler)`
and only writes the response after **both** complete
(`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:562-568`). If the `SinkHandler` returns
early (e.g. rejects the upload after chunk 1), the feed loop notices
only when its next `chunk_tx.send` fails (`dispatch.rs:533-535`) — only
when another chunk arrives. An initiator that pauses between chunks, or
a long/infinite publish, never learns of the early error; the response
is deferred indefinitely. Not a deadlock, but an unbounded stall on a
path the ADR intends for long-lived streams.

## P-08 [major] — The dispatch Pub branch re-implements `invoke_sink` inline

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §6, §7 (`Pub` → `invoke_sink()`; `dispatch()`
branches on `op_type` and routes Pub through `invoke_sink`).
**Verified:** YES. The `Pub` branch of `Dispatcher::dispatch`
re-implements the not-found / visibility / ACL / handler-kind checks
inline (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:309-377`) and invokes the
`SinkHandler` directly, duplicating `OperationRegistry::invoke_sink`
(`src/registry/registration.rs:283-345`) line for line. `invoke_sink`
is only ever called from its own tests. Divergence hazard: any future
fix in `invoke_sink` (e.g. adding the missing `publish_schema`
validation, P-03) won't reach the wire path.

## P-09 [major] — `from_call` sink forwarding is store-and-forward and swallows errors

**ADR drift:** ADR-046 §9 (sink forwarding); the `SinkHandler` contract
(`src/registry/registration.rs:29-31`: an `Err` terminates the
stream).
**Verified:** YES. `make_sink_forwarding_handler` does
`publish_stream.filter_map(|item| async move { item.ok() }).collect::<Vec<_>>().await`
then one `publish_with_payload` call
(`src/client/from_call.rs:464-475`). Three problems:
1. The whole stream is buffered in memory — unbounded, contradicting
   the doc comment "No truncation — the full stream is forwarded
   end-to-end" (`from_call.rs:452-453`) in spirit (forwarded, but not
   streamed; a hub relaying a large upload holds it all in RAM).
2. `Err` items are **silently discarded and iteration continues**
   (`item.ok()` → `None` → filtered out), contradicting the contract
   that an `Err` terminates the stream — a partial/errored publish is
   forwarded upstream as if it completed cleanly.
3. It inherits P-01, so the forwarded publish is broken anyway.

## P-10 [minor] — String literals instead of wire constants in `pump_sink`

**Verified:** YES. `pump_sink` matches `"call.published"`,
`"call.completed"`, `"call.aborted"` (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:527,
537, 538`) instead of `EVENT_PUBLISHED`/`EVENT_COMPLETED`/`EVENT_ABORTED`
(`src/protocol/wire.rs:12-17`), which the rest of the file imports and
uses. Refactor hazard, not a correctness issue.

## P-11 [minor] — ADR-046 §3 vs §6 `SinkHandler` stream-item-type inconsistency

**Verified:** YES (internal ADR inconsistency, not a code bug). ADR-046
§3 defines `SinkHandler` receiving `Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = Value> +
Send>>`; §6 defines `invoke_sink`'s `publish_stream` as
`Item = Result<Value, CallError>`. The code resolves this in favor of
§6 uniformly: `SinkHandler` itself takes `Item = Result<Value,
CallError>` (`src/registry/registration.rs:32-40`), aliased as
`PublishStream` (`:49`), and `invoke_sink` passes it straight through
(`:344`). This contradicts §3's literal type but is arguably the right
resolution (the handler must see initiator errors), and the ADR's
Door-type section explicitly marks the concrete stream item type a
two-way-door detail. **Action:** amend ADR-046 §3 text to match §6.

## P-12 — Test coverage gaps (ADR-046)

**Verified:** YES — all 23 new Pub tests are either registry-level
(`invoke_sink` with a synthetic stream), responder-side with
hand-crafted frames on **one** stream, or builder/wire-shape tests.
`src/protocol/connection.rs` has **zero** publish tests. Specific
decided behaviors with no test:
1. End-to-end publish through `CallConnection::publish` ↔
   `Dispatcher::handle_stream` (would have caught P-01 immediately).
2. `deadline: None` for Pub — `dispatch_pub_clears_deadline_to_none`
   asserts nothing about the deadline; the test name is misleading.
3. `publish_schema` validation (untested + unimplemented, P-03).
4. Initiator `call.error` terminating the publish stream (P-04).
5. Abort during a Pub, both directions (P-06 — same-stream path is
   dead-untested; no initiator-side `abort()` of an in-flight publish).
6. `from_call` Pub forwarding — no test that `build_bundles` maps
   `"pub"` → `HandlerKind::Sink`; no behavioral test of
   `make_sink_forwarding_handler` (Err-dropping, forwarded_for
   population).
7. Backpressure — nothing exercises a full 64-slot chunk channel
   (`PUBLISH_CHANNEL_BUFFER`, `dispatch.rs:45`) with a slow handler,
   or the handler-returns-early feed-termination path.
8. `OverlayOperationEnv` Sink arm (`connection.rs:523-528`) — the Sub
   arm has a test; Sink does not.

## P-13 [minor] — `SinkDispatch` exposes `chunk_tx` publicly

**Verified:** YES. `SinkDispatch` exposes `chunk_tx:
futures::mpsc::Sender` publicly (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:78-81`). The
channel type and buffer size are effectively public API now; consider
opaque wrapping before crates.io.

---

# Part B — Channels (ADR-034–043, 047) findings

## C-01 [critical] — Channel 0 is dead in both directions

**ADR drift:** ADR-036 (channel 0 pre-negotiated as `alknet/call`).
**Verified:** YES, both sides.
- **Accept side:** `src/channels/adapter.rs:181-188` — channel 0's
  `Connection` is built and bound to `_channel0_conn`, which is
  **never handed to anything**. The `InstallChannelZero` hook
  (`adapter.rs:41-42`) receives only `(&ChannelManager, &AuthContext)`
  — it has no way to reach the channel-0 `Connection` or its send/recv
  halves (already consumed by `install_channel_zero` at `adapter.rs:181`,
  which can't be called again — it returns `ChannelExists`). Inbound
  `call.requested` chunks on channel 0 route into a receiver nobody
  reads. Channel 0 on the accept side is a black hole.
- **Connect side:** `src/channels/client.rs:64-65` wraps channel 0 in
  `CallConnection`, but `CallConnection::call_with_payload` opens a
  **new bidi stream per request** via `connection.open_bi()`, and
  `ChannelBidiStreamSource::open_bi` returns `Err(StreamClosed)`
  unconditionally (`src/channels/source.rs:58-60`). So **every**
  `ChannelClient::call_open_op` fails immediately with "failed to open
  stream."

The call protocol's stream-per-request model
(`Dispatcher::run_loop` accepting streams in a loop,
`dispatch.rs:603-620`; `CallConnection` opening one stream per call)
is structurally incompatible with channel 0's single yield-once
`BiStream`. **This needs a single-stream call mode** (multiplex all
requests on one framed stream for both the client and the dispatch
side), which is a real design gap, not just a bug fix. **Acceptance
gate:** one end-to-end channel-0 test: `ChannelClient::call_open_op`
↔ `ChannelsAdapter` accept-side call dispatch, one round-trip.

## C-02 [critical] — `register_openable` / the ADR-047 §3 open flow does not exist

**ADR drift:** ADR-047 §3 (`ChannelCore` wrapper +
`register_openable(spec, open_handler, channel_core)` helper; the
ACL→cap→allocate→ledger→spawn→respond flow).
**Verified:** YES. `ChannelCore` has only `new`/`manager`/`check_open`/
`on_close` (`src/channels/operations.rs:280-311`). Doc comments link to
`ChannelCore::register_openable` (`operations.rs:10, 62`) — the
rustdoc warnings in C-09 are those dangling links. There is currently
**no way to register a channel-open op at all**; the
`channel:forbidden` / `channel:no_channels_session` /
`channel:allocation_failed` / `channel:too_many_channels` error-code
mapping to `CallError` exists only in comments. The whole open flow is
unreachable.

## C-03 [critical] — `resolve_channel_manager` (ADR-047 §4) is a stub

**ADR drift:** ADR-047 §4 (per-connection `ChannelManager` resolution
via the extension-trait downcast).
**Verified:** YES. `resolve_channel_manager` unconditionally returns
`None` (`src/channels/env.rs:108-128`). The comment at `:111-125` admits
a real downcast is impossible without `Any`-machinery and says "the
implementation uses the `ChannelCore`'s stored manager instead" —
which contradicts ADR-047 §4's core point (a statically-registered
handler closing over a static `ChannelCore` "has no way to know which
channels connection invoked it"). `ChannelsSessionEnv` exists
(`env.rs:46`) but nothing constructs it outside tests (`env.rs:148` is
the only construction site). `channel:no_channels_session` appears only
in comments. **Decision needed:** either add `as_any()` to
`OperationEnv` (or similar) to make §4 implementable, or amend ADR-047
to bless the "manager passed at registration via `ChannelCore`" shape.
The current stub gives you neither per-connection resolution nor the
amended spec.

## C-04 [critical] — Backpressure is inverted: the demux drops chunks

**ADR drift:** ADR-040 DP-5 / REQ-CH-05 (lossless bounded-buffer
backpressure — the demux stalls until the consumer drains).
**Verified:** YES. `route_payload` uses `try_send` and on `Full` logs a
warn and **drops the chunk** (`src/channels/manager.rs:253-258`).
`route_payload` is sync (`manager.rs:246`), so it *cannot* await — the
shape itself deviates. This is a reliability-layer protocol with no
retransmit; a dropped mid-stream data chunk silently corrupts the
channel's byte stream for the handler. **Fix:** make `route_payload`
async (or use a `blocking_send`/`reserve`-equivalent) and await on
full.

## C-05 [critical] — The buffer bound is in messages, not bytes

**ADR drift:** ADR-040 ("1 MiB default"; "256 × 1 MiB = 256 MiB worst
case per connection" memory bound).
**Verified:** YES. `DEFAULT_BUFFER_CAP = 1024 * 1024`
(`src/channels/reassembly.rs:35`) is passed as the **capacity of
`tokio::mpsc::channel`** (`reassembly.rs:77`, also `manager.rs:180,
219`, `mux.rs:115`), which counts *messages*, not bytes. The actual
per-channel bound is 1,048,576 chunks × up to 16 MiB each ≈ 16 TiB,
not 1 MiB. The doc comment at `reassembly.rs:31-34` even claims "1 MiB"
while the bound is ~6 orders of magnitude larger. ADR-040's
per-connection memory bound effectively does not exist. **Fix:** a
byte-budgeted bound (track accumulated `payload.len()` against the
cap, not message count).

## C-06 [critical] — Opener-ledger decrement happens on only 1 of 4 teardown paths

**ADR drift:** ADR-047 §7 (the self-DoS fix: decrement on
close-received, close-sent, handler-exit, connection-drop).
**Verified:** YES. Only close-received is wired
(`src/channels/operations.rs:197-204`). On transport EOF,
`clear_all()` returns the `(channel_id, opener)` list
(`src/channels/manager.rs:305-316`) and the demux loop **only logs its
length** (`src/channels/adapter.rs:139-143`) — `on_close` is never
called. Close-sent locally: nothing sends `channel/close` locally, no
decrement hook. Handler exit: a handler task that finishes naturally
triggers no teardown at all. The exact "peer whose connection dies at
cap is permanently at cap" self-DoS that ADR-047 §7 was written to fix
is back. The auth-blind adapter has no way to reach the policy — there
is no hook — so this is an architectural gap, not just a missed call.

## C-07 [critical] — Demux desynchronizes permanently on an oversized chunk

**ADR drift:** channels-wire.md §MAX_CHUNK_LEN (resync by skipping
`length` bytes; the parsed length is available in the error variant).
**Verified:** YES. On `ChunkError::TooLarge` (and any header-parse
error) the loop `continue`s without skipping the payload bytes
(`src/channels/adapter.rs:104-110`). The next 8-byte header read
consumes the first 8 bytes of the oversized payload → permanent stream
desync; every subsequent "header" is garbage routed to random
`channel_id`s (lenient drop hides the corruption). `ChunkError::TooLarge`
carries the parsed `length` (`src/channels/wire.rs:95-98`) — it is
discarded. **Fix:** on `TooLarge`, read and discard `length` bytes
before continuing.

## C-08 [critical] — No channel-adoption path → channel-id agreement is impossible

**ADR drift:** implied by ADR-037/047 §5 (connection-owner allocates).
**Verified:** YES. The side that did **not** allocate a `channel_id`
has no way to install routing state for it: `open_channel` always
allocates a fresh id (`manager.rs:167`), `install_channel_zero` is
hardcoded to 0. A consumer that receives `{channel_id: 7}` from the
responder cannot register 7 in its local manager/mux — inbound chunks
for 7 are dropped as unknown (`manager.rs:268-274`) and there's nothing
to write to. Additionally, both sides construct independent managers
with `next_id` starting at 1 (`manager.rs:98`; adapter side
`adapter.rs:170`; client side `client.rs:55`), so if both sides ever
allocate on one connection (Sub opened by A + Pub opened by A, per
ADR-047 §5's Pub case), **IDs collide** — one wire `channel_id`, two
different channels. No odd/even split or any collision-avoidance scheme
exists in either the ADRs (post-047) or the code. **This needs a spec
decision** (odd/even split, or an adoption op), not just a code fix.

## C-09 [major] — `cargo doc` emits 4 warnings (broken doc links)

**Verified:** YES — 4 warnings (the original reviews said 5; this pass
sees 4):
- `unresolved link to ChannelCore::register_openable` ×2 (from
  `operations.rs:10, 62` — the nonexistent helper, C-02).
- `unresolved link to default_policy` (from `operations.rs:49`).
- `env is both a module and a macro` (from the `env` module name
  colliding with the `env!` macro).

The commit message's "cargo doc generates" was technically true; clean
it is not.

## C-10 [major] — `channel/control` is a stub returning success for a dropped message

**ADR drift:** ADR-037 ("the channels layer routes `message` to the
handler's control handle for `channel_id`").
**Verified:** YES. `src/channels/operations.rs:236-248` parses
`channel_id`, ignores `message` (`_message`), and returns
`{"ok": true}`. There is no control-handle concept anywhere (no field
on `ChannelState`). Returning success for a silently-discarded control
message is worse than returning `unimplemented`.

## C-11 [major] — `channel/resources/subscribe` emits a one-shot snapshot of the wrong data

**ADR drift:** ADR-037 (as amended by ADR-047 §6): live subscription of
**openable resources** aggregated from ALPN-crate resource enumerators,
with subsequent events on any change.
**Verified:** YES, three problems
(`src/channels/operations.rs:257-277`):
1. `futures::stream::once(...)`: emits only the initial snapshot, never
   "subsequent events on any change." ADR-037 explicitly rejected
   poll-shaped behavior; this is a one-shot poll wearing a `Sub` type.
2. Wrong content: emits the ALPNs of **currently-open channels**, not
   the set of **openable ALPNs** aggregated from ALPN-crate resource
   enumerators ("which containers are running…"). A fresh connection
   reports an empty resource set even when TTY/tunnel ops are
   registered.
3. (Positive) The `access` preview **is** correctly dropped per
   ADR-047 §6 (`operations.rs:255`; the output schema at `:148-161` has
   no `access`).

## C-12 [major] — No guard on `channel/close` with `channel_id: 0`

**Verified:** YES. `channel/close` has no guard against `channel_id: 0`
(`src/channels/operations.rs:190`). Any peer can tear down channel-0
state via `teardown_channel(0)` (`manager.rs:284-298`), killing the
call channel's demux routing. **Fix:** reject `channel_id: 0` in the
`channel/close` handler (channel 0 is pre-negotiated and not
closeable).

## C-13 [major] — `channel/close` abort ≠ drain; REQ-CH-06 ordering absent

**ADR drift:** ADR-041 §3 (decrement "after the drain completes");
ADR-037 (responder drains and signals EOF to the handler);
channels-wire.md REQ-CH-06 (exit-chunk-before-close ordering — "the
channels layer owns the ordering guarantee").
**Verified:** YES. `channel/close`'s handler task is `abort()`ed
immediately and the decrement happens immediately
(`src/channels/operations.rs:190-204`); abort ≠ EOF-and-drain.
REQ-CH-06 (the close handler must observe data-pump completion) has no
implementation anywhere.

## C-14 [major] — Substrate modes: only in-line is implemented

**ADR drift:** ADR-034 §substrate modes, ADR-039 (QUIC-native
multi-stream substrate).
**Verified:** YES. `handle()` calls `connection.accept_bi()` **once**
and never loops (`src/channels/adapter.rs:159`). The doc comment at
`adapter.rs:80-84` claims the multi-stream behavior the code doesn't
have. The QUIC-native substrate ("accept remaining bidi streams… read
headers off each") is not implemented.

## C-15 [major] — `ChannelClient` API does not match ADR-043

**ADR drift:** ADR-043 (`open_channel(...) -> Channel`,
`Channel { channel_id, source }`, `subscribe_resources`, `call()`
accessor).
**Verified:** YES. `src/channels/client.rs` has `from_connection` ✓
(transport-agnostic, correct per the amendment), but: no
`open_channel(...) -> Channel`, no `Channel { channel_id, source }`,
no `subscribe_resources`, no `call()` accessor (instead `call_open_op`
+ `take_call_connection`). The doc comment at `client.rs:104-106`
refers to `manager.open_channel_stream(channel_id)` — **no such method
exists**. A consumer who receives `{channel_id: 7}` from the responder
has no way to obtain a `BiStream` for it (see C-08, channel adoption).

## C-16 [major] — Busy-wait spin on full write buffer

**Verified:** YES. `poll_write` on `TrySendError::Full` does
`cx.waker().wake_by_ref(); Poll::Pending`
(`src/channels/reassembly.rs:256-257`) — a hot busy-loop that pegs a
core until the mux drains (the waker is re-woken immediately, not
registered against capacity). The correct shape is storing a
`reserve()`/`poll_ready`-style future. The abandoned deliberation left
in comments (`reassembly.rs:205-255`) documents that the author knew
this (see C-20).

## C-17 [major] — Lost EOF sentinel path → remote handler hang

**Verified:** YES, with a precision correction to Sub Review B. The mux
pump **does** write an EOF chunk to the wire when it receives the
zero-length sentinel (`src/channels/mux.rs:124-133`). The real bug:
`MpscSendStream::poll_shutdown` (`reassembly.rs:283-291`) and `Drop`
(`:295-309`) emit the sentinel via `try_send`, best-effort; if the
buffer is full the sentinel is silently dropped. When the sentinel is
lost, the pump's `recv` yields `None` (sender dropped, no sentinel) and
the pump loop exits (`mux.rs:122-147`) **without** writing an EOF
chunk. Result: the remote handler never sees channel EOF until full
transport close. REQ-CH-01 violation on this path. The doc comments at
`reassembly.rs:283-291, 295-309` ("the peer's read will still EOF when
the sender drops — REQ-CH-02") are **wrong about which side of the
wire** this sender feeds (it feeds the local mux pump, not the peer's
demux). The doc comment at `mux.rs:109-112` ("the pump emits the EOF
sentinel") is misleading because it depends on the `Drop` impl's
`try_send` succeeding. **Fix:** the pump must write an EOF chunk when
its receiver ends without a sentinel (treat `recv → None` as implicit
EOF).

## C-18 [major] — `open_channel` TOCTOU on `max_channels`

**Verified:** YES. `src/channels/manager.rs:159-194` — the cap check
(`:161`) and the insert (`:188-189`) are under **separate** lock
acquisitions with `mux.register(...)` awaited in between
(`:170-176`). N concurrent opens at `len == max-1` all pass the check
and all insert → cap exceeded by N-1. **Fix:** hold the channels lock
across check + insert (release for the `mux.register` await, re-acquire
for insert, re-check on re-acquire).

## C-19 [minor] — Misc channels correctness issues

- **`next_id` wrap allocates channel 0:** `manager.rs:98` starts at 1;
  `fetch_add(1, Relaxed)` wraps `u32::MAX → 0`, colliding with the
  reserved channel 0. The `ChannelExists` defensive check catches the
  map collision (`:189-193`), but only after registering a mux pump
  that is never cleaned up. Effectively unreachable in practice
  (ADR-040), but the wrap story is not handled as stated.
- **Unbounded loop in resources snapshot:** `operations.rs:267-274` —
  `for channel_id in 0..u32::MAX` with a mutex lock per iteration,
  break keyed on `resources.len() >= manager.open_count()`.
  `open_count()` is re-read each iteration; a channel closing
  mid-iteration (or sparse ids after churn — monotonic ids guarantee
  sparseness) can iterate millions/billions of times.
- **Mux pump map leak + duplicate registration:** `mux.rs:148` —
  finished pump `JoinHandle`s accumulate in `self.pumps` for the
  connection's lifetime. Duplicate `register(channel_id)` silently
  overwrites the handle while the old pump keeps running (two pumps,
  one channel id).
- **Mux shutdown aborts pumps mid-`write_chunk`:** `mux.rs:154-158` —
  pumps are `abort()`ed possibly mid-`write_chunk` while holding the
  writer lock (a half-written chunk header corrupts the wire; moot
  since the transport is going away, except the code then writes EOF
  sentinels onto that possibly-mid-chunk stream).
- **`manager.rs:309`:** `drop(state.demux_sender.clone())` clones a
  sender then drops the clone — a no-op (the real drop happens when
  `drained` falls out of scope; the code works by accident, the line is
  misleading).
- **`manager.rs:176, 218`:** mux `register` failure (runner closed)
  mapped to `ManagerError::ChannelExists` — wrong error.
- **`client.rs:61`:** `install_channel_zero` error mapped to
  `StreamError::StreamClosed` — conflation.
- **`policy.rs:127-140`:** `check_open` **increments** the count
  (check-and-reserve). If allocation subsequently fails, no rollback
  API exists other than `on_close(&Identity)`; a future open-op wrapper
  must remember to decrement on every post-check failure path or quota
  leaks. Not a bug today (nothing calls it), but a trap in the trait's
  contract vs ADR-041's "check_open = check, on_close = decrement after
  deallocation" framing.
- **REQ-CH-04's error counter (`Demux::stats()`):** no counter, no
  stats surface; only a `debug!` log (`manager.rs:268-274`).
- **`derive_alpn_from_op_name`** (`src/client/from_call.rs:289-301`):
  ADR-047 says non-`alknet/*` ALPNs "use their full ALPN string as the
  path segment." The implementation takes only the **first** path
  segment (`rest.split('/').next()` at `:291`), so
  `channels/custom/proto/sub` derives `alknet/custom` — wrong. The
  `segment.starts_with("alknet/")` branch at `:295` is dead code (a
  single segment can't contain `/`), and `segment == "alknet"` yields
  the nonsense ALPN `"alknet"` (`:296`).
- **`Box::leak` per discovery** (`from_call.rs:312-314`): bounded per
  unique ALPN in theory, but it leaks on *every* rediscovery of every
  marked op. Documented in-code as accepted; the `Arc<str>` refactor
  should happen before any long-lived hub uses `from_call` against
  churning peers.
- **`from_call.rs:269` "SAFETY:" comment** is factually wrong (describes
  a `'static`-only return that isn't what `derive_alpn_from_op_name`
  does — it returns `Option<String>`; the leak happens in `leak_alpn`),
  and "SAFETY" is a loaded term that conventionally marks `unsafe`
  blocks; there's no `unsafe` here.
- **Ledger placement:** ADR-047 §7 says "the ledger lives in
  channels-call, not channels-core," but `OpenerLedger` is defined in
  `src/channels/mux.rs:169-207` and owned by `ChannelManager`
  (`manager.rs:81`) — the auth-blind core layer. Doc comment at
  `manager.rs:62-69` argues for this; it's a deliberate deviation, but
  it is a deviation, and the "which-crate" boundary matters when the
  crate is split per ADR-044.

## C-20 [major → convention] — Abandoned deliberation + pervasive inline comments

**Convention drift:** AGENTS.md §1 (no inline `//` comments unless
asked; doc comments `///`/`//!` are fine).
**Verified:** YES. Worst instance: `src/channels/reassembly.rs:205-255`
— ~50 lines of abandoned stream-of-consciousness deliberation ("no, we
need `Sender::reserve_slot`… Actually, the simplest approach…") shipped
inside `poll_write`. Plus pervasive inline `//` comments across the
channels module: `adapter.rs:154-158, 163-165, 177-180, 189-194`,
`client.rs:57, 67, 74-76`, `manager.rs:170, 177-179, 190-191, 196,
234-237, 268-269, 291-292, 314`, `env.rs:112-126`,
`operations.rs:188-189, 195-196, 243-247, 262-266`,
`from_call.rs:256-262, 269-274`. A handful qualify as "non-obvious
correctness constraint" (REQ references); most don't. Several comments
are actively *wrong* (the mux EOF claim `mux.rs:109-112`, the
abort-cancels claim `dispatch.rs:495-498`, the
`reassembly.rs:283-291` "peer's read will still EOF" wrong-side claim,
the `from_call.rs:269` "SAFETY:" comment marking no `unsafe`).

## C-21 [minor → convention] — `write_header` panics on short buffers

**Convention drift:** AGENTS.md §2 (no panics in library code).
**Verified:** YES. `src/channels/wire.rs:110-114` — `write_header`
slices `out[..CHUNK_HEADER_LEN]`, panicking on short buffers; the doc
comment at `:106-107` declares the panic. All current callers pass
`[0u8; 8]`, but the API is `&mut [u8]`. Same class: a potential panic
path documented instead of typed. **Fix:** return a
`Result<_, ChunkError::HeaderTooShort>` (the error variant already
exists for the parse side, `wire.rs:87-90`).

## C-22 [minor → convention] — Filler tests padding the count

**Verified:** YES. `src/channels/client.rs:131-136` — a `PhantomData`
"smoke test" (`let _ = std::marker::PhantomData::<ChannelClient>;`).
`src/channels/env.rs:155` — `assert!(env.contains("anything") ||
!env.contains("anything"))` tautology. These pad the "66 new channels
tests" / "23 new Pub tests" counts claimed in the commit messages.

## C-23 [minor] — `dispatch_requested` Sink/Stream errors use empty request id

**Verified:** YES. `dispatch_requested`'s Sink error uses
`String::new()` as request id (`src/protocol/dispatch.rs:244-247`),
producing an envelope with an empty id (shared flaw with the Stream
arm at `:236-243`).

## C-24 [minor] — Producer/consumer naming leaked into docs

**Convention drift:** AGENTS.md §8 (producer/consumer, not
server/client).
**Verified:** YES, minor. Prod code is largely fine; "client→server
streaming" leaked from ADR-046 into `docs/architecture/call-protocol.md:335`
and the ADR-046 reference table at `:584`. No public API names offend;
only test-local `duplex` variable names use client/server
(`mux.rs:217, 253`, etc.) — acceptable.

## C-25 — Test coverage gaps (channels)

**Verified:** YES — present coverage is unit-level only; **no
end-to-end test wires two sides together**. Missing:
1. Channel 0 end-to-end (ADR-036): adapter ↔ client, one
   `call_open_op` round-trip (would catch C-01 immediately).
2. Demux resync on `TooLarge` (channels-wire.md §MAX_CHUNK_LEN): send
   oversized chunk + valid chunk; assert the valid one survives (C-07).
3. Backpressure semantics (ADR-040/REQ-CH-05): slow reader on channel
   A, fast writer, assert no data loss and channel B unaffected (C-04,
   C-05, C-16).
4. Policy decrement on connection drop / handler exit (ADR-047 §7):
   open at cap, drop transport, reopen (C-06).
5. Per-connection `max_channels` via `open_channel` — no test fills 256
   and asserts `TooManyChannels` (only `Display` is tested,
   `manager.rs:446-452`); no concurrent-open race test (C-18).
6. REQ-CH-01 through the mux to the wire on drop-without-shutdown —
   `mux_handle_register_and_write_round_trips_to_transport` covers
   explicit shutdown only; the drop-with-full-buffer path is untested
   (C-17).
7. REQ-CH-06 — untested (and unimplemented, C-13).
8. `channel/close` / `channel/control` / `resources/subscribe` handler
   invocation — the handler bodies (`make_close_handler` etc.) have
   zero tests; only spec-shape and registration are tested
   (`operations.rs:329-364`).
9. `resolve_channel_manager` — untested (it's a stub; a test asserting
   the ADR-047 §4 behavior would have flagged it, C-03).
10. ID wrap → 0 — untested (C-19).
11. Marker wire format: well tested ✓ (`discovery.rs:807-839`,
    `from_call.rs:592-653`, `spec.rs:338-365`).

## C-26 — Spec docs internally inconsistent post-047

**Verified:** YES. Only `channel-operations.md` was updated. The other
channels spec docs still describe the pre-047 model that ADR-047
removed, and carry stale alknet ADR numbers (071/075/076/093/094/079/
080) that point to nonexistent files after the renumbering (alkcall
decisions only go up to 047):
- `docs/architecture/channel-client.md:54-59, 94-98` still specifies
  `open_channel(alpn, params, direction)`, `ChannelDirection`, and
  `ResourceEntry.access` — all removed by ADR-047.
- `docs/architecture/channels-wire.md:241` lifecycle table still says
  "`channel/open` call operation… responder allocates."
- `docs/architecture/channels-adapter.md:142-194` still describes the
  generic `channel/open` handler with `channel:unknown_alpn`.
- Stale ADR-number references: `channel-client.md:170-171`,
  `channels-wire.md:273-274`, `channels-adapter.md:294-299`.

# Cross-cutting: what is solid (verified)

These were checked and are correct/close to spec — listed so the
remediation plan can focus on what's actually broken:

- **Wire formats:** `EventEnvelope` shape and the five+one event types
  match ADR-014/046 exactly; the channels 8-byte chunk header
  `[channel_id:u32 BE][length:u32 BE]` matches ADR-034/035 exactly
  (`src/channels/wire.rs:85-114`). No `stream_type` anywhere in the
  channels layer (verified by grep). ✓
- **`HandlerKind::Sink` validation:** Pub↔Sink both directions
  (`src/registry/registration.rs:108-124, 371-411`), `make_sink_handler`
  (`:587-593`), `with_local_sink`/`with_leaf_sink`/
  `with_leaf_sink_provenance` (`:507-552`). ✓
- **Wire `op_type` strings:** `"query"`/`"mutation"`/`"sub"`/`"pub"`
  emit (`src/registry/discovery.rs:163-169`) and parse with
  `"subscription"` correctly rejected (`src/client/from_call.rs:316-326`).
  ✓
- **`call.published` payload `{ "input": <chunk> }`:** `src/protocol/wire.rs:54-56`,
  correlated by envelope `id`. ✓
- **Responder-side `deadline: None` for Pub:** `dispatch.rs:310`
  (implemented; untested — P-12).
- **`invoke()` / `invoke_streaming()` on Pub → `INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE`:**
  `registration.rs:193-197, 262-271`. ✓
- **Gap F (`channel_open` marker):** `spec_to_json` emits
  `"channel_open": true` only when set (`discovery.rs:213-215`),
  schema documents it as optional (`:145-148`), `rebuild_spec_for`
  parses it and ignores `false`/non-channels names (`from_call.rs:263-277`).
  `ChannelOpenSpec { alpn: &'static str }` matches ADR-047 §2
  (`spec.rs:38-40`). Well tested. ✓
- **Per-identity cap default 256:** `policy.rs:156`, `default_policy()`,
  `PerIdentityChannelPolicy::new(256)` tested at `policy.rs:252-259`. ✓
- **Channel 0 pre-installed, skips the ledger:** correct
  (`manager.rs:234-237`), ALPN recorded as `alknet/call`. ✓ (Functionally
  dead per C-01, but the bookkeeping is right.)
- **Connection-owner allocation mechanism:** `ChannelManager::open_channel`
  allocating via `next_id.fetch_add` (`manager.rs:167`) — "whoever holds
  the manager allocates" ✓ — but nothing invokes it in the Sub flow (no
  open-op wrapper, C-02) and the Pub-case flow doesn't exist.
- **Layering held:** no channels types leaked into the call crate,
  `OperationEnv` stayed a trait, auth stays on the one
  `AccessControl` path. ✓
- **Hub relay (ADR-042), broker (Gap B), `from_call` relay wrapper
  (Gap C):** intentionally out of scope per ADR-047 — correctly not
  flagged as bugs. ADR-047 Gap C expects alkcall's `from_call` to
  reconstruct the marker so the consumer can branch — that half **is**
  implemented ✓.
- **No `unwrap()`/`expect()`/panics** in the new library code outside
  the `write_header` short-buffer path (C-21) and the channels
  deliberation comments. No blocking I/O on async paths. Poisoning N/A
  (`parking_lot`). ✓

---

# Remediation plan

The plan is split into **six units of work**, ordered by dependency and
severity. Each unit is a independently shippable commit (or small
sequence) with its own acceptance gate. The units are sized so that
none of the critical bugs is blocked behind a spec decision except
where noted (C-03, C-08). The overarching acceptance gate for the
whole effort is the single end-to-end test both reviews identify as
missing:

> **One end-to-end test:** `ChannelClient` ↔ `ChannelsAdapter`, open a
> channel via a registered op, move bytes, tear down, verify quota.

That test is the gate because its absence is what let both commits land
green. Each unit below either moves toward it or removes a defect it
would surface.

## Unit 1 — Fix Pub end-to-end (P-01, P-02, P-05, P-08, P-12 #1)

**Goal:** a `publish()` that actually works on any transport.
**Files:** `src/protocol/connection.rs`, `src/protocol/dispatch.rs`.
**Scope:**
- P-01: keep stream A's write half; pump `call.published` + `call.completed`
  on it (do not re-open `open_bi` in `write_publish_chunks`).
- P-02: change `publish`/`publish_with_payload` to take
  `Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = Value> + Send>>` (ADR-046 §8 shape). Hold
  stream A's write half and pump the stream.
- P-05: register the publish like `subscribe` (`timeout: None`), not
  with `DEFAULT_CALL_TIMEOUT`. Falls out of the streaming rework.
- P-08: route the dispatch Pub branch through
  `OperationRegistry::invoke_sink` instead of re-implementing it inline
  (removes the divergence hazard; the `invoke_sink` path becomes the
  wire path).
- P-12 #1: add the end-to-end publish test (≥2 chunks, assert the
  responder sees them and returns the right result). This is the
  acceptance gate for the unit.

**Note:** P-02 changes a public API (`publish` signature) — but per
ADR-046 §8 the `Stream` shape *is* the spec, so the current `Vec<Value>`
was the drift. This is correcting drift, not introducing a wire break
(the wire format is unchanged). No deployments exist.

## Unit 2 — Channel 0 single-stream call mode, both sides (C-01, C-25 #1)

**Goal:** channel 0 actually carries call traffic in both directions.
**Files:** `src/protocol/connection.rs`, `src/protocol/dispatch.rs`,
`src/channels/source.rs`, `src/channels/client.rs`,
`src/channels/adapter.rs`.
**Scope:** This is the real design gap, not a one-line fix. The call
protocol's stream-per-request model is incompatible with channel 0's
single yield-once `BiStream`. Options:
- (a) A single-stream call mode: multiplex all requests/responses on
  one framed stream (length-prefixed `EventEnvelope`s on channel 0's
  one `BiStream`). Both `CallConnection` (client) and `Dispatcher`
  (accept side) gain a "single-stream mode" that reads/writes frames
  on the one `BiStream` instead of opening/accepting one stream per
  request. `ChannelBidiStreamSource::open_bi` stops being called.
- (b) Make `ChannelBidiStreamSource` yield a fresh `BiStream` per
  `accept_bi`/`open_bi` by framing sub-streams over the one channel —
  more complex, probably wrong.
Recommend (a). This unblocks C-01's connect side (every `call_open_op`
no longer fails) and accept side (channel 0's `Connection` is actually
driven by a call dispatch loop). **Acceptance gate:** C-25 #1 — one
end-to-end channel-0 round-trip test. **May require a short ADR or
ADR-036 amendment** recording the single-stream-mode decision (it's a
two-way-door implementation detail per ADR-046/036, but worth pinning).

## Unit 3 — `register_openable` + decide the §4 env-resolution question (C-02, C-03)

**Goal:** a channel-open op can actually be registered and invoked.
**Files:** `src/channels/operations.rs`, `src/channels/env.rs`,
`src/registry/env.rs` (possibly, if `as_any()` is added).
**Scope:** This unit requires a **spec decision first**:
- **Option A (implement §4 as written):** add `as_any()` (or equivalent
  downcast machinery) to `OperationEnv`, implement
  `resolve_channel_manager` for real, and have the open-op wrapper
  resolve the per-connection manager at invocation time.
- **Option B (amend ADR-047 §4):** bless the "manager passed at
  registration via `ChannelCore`" shape that the stub's comment
  describes. This drops per-connection resolution but is simpler; it
  works only if a `ChannelCore` is registered per-connection (an
  overlay concern), which interacts with ADR-019's layering.
Recommend Option A (it preserves the ADR's stated design and the
session/connection overlay patterns from ADR-024). Whichever is
chosen, **amend or affirm ADR-047 §4 in writing** before coding. Then:
- Implement `ChannelCore::register_openable(spec, open_handler,
  channel_core)` wrapping the ALPN open handler with the
  ACL→`check_open`→allocate→ledger→spawn→respond flow
  (`src/channels/operations.rs:280-311`).
- Map `channel:forbidden` / `channel:no_channels_session` /
  `channel:allocation_failed` / `channel:too_many_channels` to
  `CallError`.
- Fix the broken rustdoc links (C-09's `register_openable` ×2) once the
  method exists.
- Test: register a no-op open op via `register_openable`, invoke it
  end-to-end through channel 0 (depends on Unit 2), assert
  `channel_id` is returned and quota is reserved.

## Unit 4 — Backpressure fixes (C-04, C-05, C-07, C-16, C-17, C-25 #2 #3 #6)

**Goal:** the channels layer is lossless and bounded as ADR-040
promises.
**Files:** `src/channels/manager.rs`, `src/channels/reassembly.rs`,
`src/channels/adapter.rs`, `src/channels/mux.rs`.
**Scope:**
- C-04: make `route_payload` async (or use `blocking_send`/`reserve`),
  await on full instead of dropping. The demux loop calls it on the
  read path — make the demux loop await it.
- C-05: replace the message-count buffer cap with a byte-budgeted cap
  (track accumulated `payload.len()` against the cap). Update
  `DEFAULT_BUFFER_CAP`'s doc comment to match reality.
- C-07: on `ChunkError::TooLarge`, read and discard `length` bytes
  before continuing. The parsed length is in the error variant.
- C-16: replace the `wake_by_ref` + `Pending` busy-loop with a stored
  `reserve()` future (or `Poll`-friendly ready notification). Remove
  the ~50 lines of abandoned deliberation while here (C-20 overlap).
- C-17: the mux pump must write an EOF chunk when its receiver ends
  without a sentinel (treat `recv → None` as implicit EOF). Fix the
  wrong-side doc comments in `reassembly.rs:283-291, 295-309` and the
  misleading `mux.rs:109-112` claim.
- C-25 #2 #3 #6: add the demux-resync test, the backpressure test, and
  the drop-without-shutdown EOF test.

## Unit 5 — Ledger decrement on all teardown paths + channel-id adoption/collision decision (C-06, C-08, C-12, C-13, C-18)

**Goal:** quota accounting is correct and channel ids don't collide.
**Files:** `src/channels/adapter.rs`, `src/channels/manager.rs`,
`src/channels/operations.rs`, `src/channels/mux.rs`.
**Scope:**
- C-06: wire `on_close` into the three missing teardown paths:
  close-sent locally, handler-exit, connection-drop. On transport EOF,
  `clear_all()` already returns the `(channel_id, opener)` list — call
  `policy.on_close(&opener)` for each (the adapter needs a hook to the
  policy; this is the architectural gap Sub Review B flagged — add a
  `DecrementOnDrop` hook or have the adapter hold a `ChannelCore`).
- C-08: **spec decision needed** — odd/even id split, or an adoption op
  so the non-allocating side can install routing for a remotely-assigned
  id. Recommend odd/even (initiator allocates odd, responder even, or
  vice versa) as the smaller change; record the decision in ADR-047 §5
  or a follow-on ADR. Then implement the adoption path: the
  non-allocating side registers the remotely-assigned id in its
  manager/mux.
- C-12: reject `channel_id: 0` in the `channel/close` handler.
- C-13: `channel/close` must drain (signal EOF to the handler, await
  pump completion) before `abort`/decrement; implement REQ-CH-06
  ordering (the close handler observes data-pump completion).
- C-18: hold the channels lock across the `max_channels` check + insert
  in `open_channel` (re-check on re-acquire after the `mux.register`
  await).
- Test: C-25 #4 #5 — open-at-cap-then-drop-transport-then-reopen, and
  the concurrent-open race test.

## Unit 6 — Cleanup: comments, doc links, stale spec docs, stubs (C-09, C-10, C-11, C-14, C-15, C-19, C-20, C-21, C-22, C-23, C-24, C-26, P-03, P-04, P-06, P-07, P-09, P-10, P-11, P-13)

**Goal:** conventions satisfied, docs consistent, the remaining
decided-but-unimplemented behaviors either implemented or explicitly
deferred with an OQ.
**Scope:** This is the largest unit by item count but the lowest risk;
do it last, after the integration is end-to-end functional. Items:
- **C-20:** remove the ~50 lines of abandoned deliberation in
  `reassembly.rs:205-255` and the pervasive inline `//` comments
  across the channels module that aren't carrying a non-obvious
  correctness constraint. Fix the actively-wrong comments (mux EOF
  claim, abort-cancels claim, wrong-side peer-EOF claim, "SAFETY:"
  comment marking no `unsafe`).
- **C-09:** fix the remaining `cargo doc` warnings (`default_policy`
  link, `env is both a module and a macro`).
- **C-26:** update `channel-client.md`, `channels-wire.md`,
  `channels-adapter.md` to the post-047 model (remove
  `open_channel(..., direction)`, `ChannelDirection`,
  `ResourceEntry.access`, the generic `channel/open` handler,
  `channel:unknown_alpn`; renumber stale alknet ADR refs to alkcall
  ADR-001..047).
- **C-21:** make `write_header` return `Result<_, ChunkError>` instead
  of panicking.
- **C-22:** remove the filler tests (`client.rs:131-136`, `env.rs:155`)
  or replace them with real assertions.
- **C-23:** give `dispatch_requested`'s Sink/Stream error envelopes a
  real request id (or document why empty is correct).
- **C-24:** replace "client→server streaming" in
  `call-protocol.md:335` with producer/consumer phrasing; amend
  ADR-046 §3 to match §6 (P-11).
- **C-19 misc:** fix `next_id` wrap, the unbounded resources-snapshot
  loop, the mux pump map leak / duplicate registration, the wrong
  `ManagerError` mapping on mux register failure, the misleading
  `drop(state.demux_sender.clone())`, the `derive_alpn_from_op_name`
  multi-segment bug + dead branch, the `Box::leak` `Arc<str>` refactor,
  the `policy.rs:127-140` check-and-reserve rollback trap (document or
  add a rollback API), the `Demux::stats()` error counter (REQ-CH-04).
- **P-03:** implement `publish_schema` per-chunk validation using
  `alktype` (the dependency is already declared and unused), and wire
  it through `spec_to_json` / `operation_spec_schema()` /
  `rebuild_spec_for` so imported Pub ops keep the schema. Or, if
  deferred, file an OQ and remove the misleading doc comment at
  `spec.rs:181-186`.
- **P-04:** make `pump_sink` match `call.error` and inject the
  initiator's `CallError` as an `Err` item that terminates the stream
  (per ADR-046 §6).
- **P-06:** implement abort-cancels-Pub. This likely needs the
  single-stream call mode from Unit 2 (so an abort on the same stream
  can reach the running pump) plus a mechanism to drop the handler
  future on abort (the doc comments at `dispatch.rs:494-498` describe
  the target shape). Decide whether to fix the cross-stream path
  (`abort()` opening a new stream) or deprecate it in favor of
  same-stream abort.
- **P-07:** fix the handler-returns-early stall — when the handler
  returns, the feed should be short-circuited and the response written
  immediately (don't `join!` to completion). Use `tokio::select!` or
  feed the handler's completion back into the feed loop.
- **P-09:** fix `make_sink_forwarding_handler` to stream (not
  `collect`), and to terminate on `Err` (not `filter_map` it away).
  Depends on P-01/P-02.
- **P-10:** use the `EVENT_*` wire constants in `pump_sink` instead of
  string literals.
- **P-13:** opaque-wrap `SinkDispatch::chunk_tx` before crates.io.
- **C-10 / C-11:** either implement `channel/control` routing and live
  `resources/subscribe`, or file OQs and make the stubs honest (return
  `unimplemented`-style errors, not fake success).
- **C-14 / C-15:** either implement the QUIC-native substrate and the
  full `ChannelClient` API (`open_channel`, `Channel`,
  `subscribe_resources`), or file OQs and remove the misleading doc
  comments / nonexistent method references.

## Suggested sequencing

```
Unit 1 (Pub end-to-end)        → unblocks the Pub flagship use cases
Unit 2 (channel 0 single-stream) → unblocks all channel-0 integration tests
Unit 3 (register_openable)     → needs a §4 spec decision first; unblocks opening channels
Unit 4 (backpressure)          → independent; can run in parallel with 2/3
Unit 5 (ledger + adoption)     → needs a §5 spec decision first; depends on 3
Unit 6 (cleanup)               → last; after the integration is end-to-end functional
```

Units 1, 2, 4 can proceed immediately with no spec decisions. Units 3
and 5 each need one written decision (ADR-047 §4 affirm/amend; ADR-047
§5 odd/even-or-adoption). Unit 6 is the long tail.

## On the baseline objective

The layering held, the wire formats are right, the architecture is
right. What's missing is the connective tissue a tty/docker crate would
actually call: a working `publish()`, a working channel 0,
`register_openable`, channel adoption, and a streaming `publish()`.
**A tty extraction cannot start on this foundation yet** — treat the
end-to-end `ChannelClient` ↔ `ChannelsAdapter` test (Unit 2's gate,
then Unit 3's gate) as the acceptance gate for the next round.

## Verification log (this consolidation pass)

Findings re-verified directly in source on 2026-08-12 against tree
`f305f8c`. Every `file:line` reference above was checked. Findings that
did not survive verification or were overstated in the original
reviews, corrected here:

- **Sub Review B's "the pump does not write an EOF chunk" (C-17):**
  overstated. The pump *does* write EOF when it receives the sentinel
  (`mux.rs:124-133`). The real bug is narrower: when the sentinel is
  lost (full buffer `try_send`), the pump exits on `recv → None`
  without writing EOF. C-17 above states the corrected mechanism.
- **Warning count (C-09):** the main review said 5; this pass sees 4
  `cargo doc` warnings (2× `register_openable`, 1× `default_policy`,
  1× `env` module/macro). Documented as 4.
- **P-11:** flagged in Sub Review A as drift; on verification this is
  an internal ADR-046 inconsistency (§3 vs §6) that the code resolved
  correctly and consistently. Reclassified from "drift" to "amend the
  ADR §3 text."

All other findings (P-01 through P-10, C-01 through C-08, C-12 through
C-26) verified as stated.
