Per review 011 §6 sequencing: the four amendment documents drafted before code. All pins, no options — the hedged alternatives are stated as rejected with rationale: - ADR-047 amendment 4: the marked-pub open contract (review 011 §1/§2's seven pins — marker semantics, publish_schema refusal, reserved input key + dispatch strip, wrapper-as-responder-of-record, ack-timing sentence, relay translation, client put-open capability) plus the registration invariants that make stubs unregistrable (§4.8). - ADR-052 (new): channel/control control-handle surface — establisher- contributed ChannelControl, wrapper-owned registry, channel:no_control_handle. - ADR-053 (new): channel/resources/subscribe live resource enumerators — snapshot-then-changes, scan-once aggregation, empty seed. - ADR-022 amendment: announced unmarked Sub/Pub forward through the real forwarding shapes; marked announcements refused (MARKED_SPEC_UNSUPPORTED).

# ADR-052: The `channel/control` Control-Handle Surface
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Accepted — amends ADR-037 (`channel/control`'s contract) and ADR-047
|
|
(amended §1: the generic ops stay). Resolves review 010 S-02 (the
|
|
`channel/control` stub shipped nine published versions; the stub was
|
|
pinned by tests and tracked as OQ-39) by implementing the surface the
|
|
ADR-037 text always promised. The stub's tracked design work (OQ-39)
|
|
is promoted here verbatim-ish: ALPN-crate-registered per-channel
|
|
control callbacks, a channels-layer callback registry keyed by
|
|
`channel_id`.
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
ADR-037 specified `channel/control` as the out-of-band control op on
|
|
channel 0 (resize, signal, keepalive — anything that does not need
|
|
ordering relative to data), with the channels layer routing the
|
|
ALPN-specific `message` to a handler's control handle. The
|
|
implementation shipped a registered, discoverable stub that checked
|
|
`channel` existence and then returned `channel:control_not_implemented`
|
|
on every invocation — which perversely returned *not found* for unknown
|
|
channels and *not implemented* for real ones (review 010 S-02). The
|
|
implementation was tracked as OQ-39 with the shape recorded; nothing
|
|
blocked it except that no ALPN crate had asked yet. alktty's move of
|
|
its control surface to the channels path (ADR-049 §5's migration list)
|
|
and the general stub ruling (review 010) make that answer invalid.
|
|
|
|
The design constraint from ADR-039: `ChannelManager` is auth-blind,
|
|
ALPN-blind, transport-blind. The control-handle surface must not
|
|
reintroduce ALPN interpretation into the manager.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
### 1. The control callback type and registry
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub type ChannelControl = Arc<
|
|
dyn Fn(Value) -> BoxFuture<'static, Result<Value, CallError>> + Send + Sync,
|
|
>;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The callback receives the `message` value (ALPN-specific JSON; the
|
|
channels layer does not interpret it) and returns the ALPN-specific
|
|
reply (or a `CallError` it wants surfaced verbatim — e.g.
|
|
`target_gone`). The live handle: `HashMap<u32, ChannelControl>` in the
|
|
`ChannelManager`'s internals (the same map discipline as `channels`;
|
|
`parking_lot` mutex).
|
|
|
|
The manager stays blind to what a callback does — it stores opaque
|
|
closures, exactly as `ChannelState` already stores opaque `handler_task`
|
|
handles.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Registration: the establisher contributes the control handle
|
|
|
|
The ALPN crate registers a control callback by returning it from its
|
|
open-op establisher: `Establishment::with_control(callback)` (builder,
|
|
alongside `with_reply_field` — ADR-049 amendment 3). The **wrapper**
|
|
installs it under the allocated/adopted id
|
|
(`manager.set_control_handle(id, callback)`) and every teardown path
|
|
removes it (`teardown_channel` drops the entry; `clear_all` drains
|
|
them) — same closure-lifecycle discipline as the opener ledger.
|
|
|
|
Why the establisher, not the handler: the establisher already returns
|
|
typed payloads the wrapper routes (`Establishment`), it runs where the
|
|
ALPN crate has prepared its backend (the resize target is the backend
|
|
the establisher dialled/planned), and adding a registration path
|
|
through the `OpenHandler` would require handing the handler the
|
|
manager and the id — a signature break across every published consumer
|
|
for zero benefit. The wrapper-owned installation also makes the
|
|
callback's lifetime exactly the channel's lifetime by construction.
|
|
|
|
### 3. The op: routing and error surface
|
|
|
|
`make_control_handler` (the ADR-037 op, registered by
|
|
`ChannelOps::register_on`) becomes: validate `channel_id` (unchanged)
|
|
→ `channel` exists? (unchanged; `channel:unknown_channel`) → callback
|
|
registered for the id? →
|
|
|
|
| case | reply |
|
|
|------|-------|
|
|
| unknown channel | `channel:unknown_channel` (existing class) |
|
|
| no callback registered | `channel:no_control_handle` — typed, retryable false, message: the channel's ALPN registered no control surface (`details: { alpn }`) |
|
|
| callback ok | `{ "control": <callback reply> }` |
|
|
| callback err | the callback's `CallError` verbatim |
|
|
|
|
`channel:no_control_handle` is a real capability answer, not a stub:
|
|
a consumer that calls `channel/control` on a channel whose ALPN chose
|
|
not to expose control learns exactly that. The `message` body is
|
|
ALPN-specific JSON (unchanged; the channels layer does not read it).
|
|
|
|
**The callback receives the message only** — no identity, no
|
|
`OperationContext`. The authorization home is the op's own
|
|
`access_control` (checked by the registry before the handler, per
|
|
ADR-010/017 — the same op-level ACL every other surface runs); a
|
|
per-owner resize is expressed as ADR-011 `resource_id_path` on the
|
|
`channel/control` spec for ALPNs that want it, not by widening the
|
|
callback signature. Wire-visibility: `channel:no_control_handle`
|
|
joins the stable error set (ADR-016 — consumers branch on it
|
|
deliberately); the callback's reply shape is the producing crate's
|
|
schema concern.
|
|
|
|
### 4. What this does not decide
|
|
|
|
Ordering-sensitive control rides the data channel (unchanged —
|
|
channel-operations.md's control-message division, DP-4 pinned). The
|
|
manager keeps its blindness; the enumerators registry of ADR-053 is
|
|
the analogous ALPN-level surface for discovery, not control.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
**Positive:** the advertised op serves; S-02 dies; ALPN crates get
|
|
out-of-band control for free (resize/signal arrive as one routed
|
|
call-op instead of per-crate in-band framing); teardown-bound callback
|
|
lifetime is structural.
|
|
|
|
**Negative:** the manager's internals gain one map (opaque closures —
|
|
no blindness regression); a control callback racing teardown can
|
|
observe a torn-down backend through its own error (`CallError`) — the
|
|
same shape the handler EOF path already produces, not a new class.
|
|
|
|
## Door type
|
|
|
|
**One-way (wire-visible).** `channel:no_control_handle` and the reply
|
|
envelope shape join the stable surface once consumers branch on them.
|
|
The callback type, the establisher carrier, and the map are two-way-door
|
|
implementation details inside it (the `Establishment` carrier is
|
|
`#[non_exhaustive]` — ADR-049 amendment 2's posture).
|
|
|
|
## Verification gates
|
|
|
|
- `channel/control` routes to the establisher-contributed callback and
|
|
the reply is the callback's output (e2e over a real channels
|
|
connection);
|
|
- `channel:no_control_handle` on a channel whose ALPN registered none;
|
|
- `channel:unknown_channel` preserved (the pre-existing error);
|
|
- teardown removes the handle (post-teardown control answers
|
|
`channel:unknown_channel`, never a stale callback);
|
|
- callback `Err` passes through verbatim.
