- new ADR-016: channels open-op params pinned as {repo, service}
(channels/git/sub, additionalProperties: false); direct-ALPN GitAdapter
parses the git-daemon request line (POC-1-verbatim grammar, capture-
backed); session tuple gains the service dimension on both substrates;
GitSession mirrors the shapes; version deliberately stays out of the
preamble (service fully determines the state machine)
- amend ADR-002/005/010 (tuple, substrate inputs, open-op params pin) and
transport.md/doors.md/overview.md/backend.md accordingly
- add the ADR-016 wire shapes to OQ-03's freeze inventory; note in
AGENTS.md convention 9 that the alkgit-specific framing now exists and
is pinned
- review 001: A-3 marked resolved
verification: cargo test, clippy -D warnings, fmt --check, doc — clean

# alkgit Architecture
|
|
|
|
Phase 1 (SDD) output for alkgit — the git payload service of the alk
|
|
family: a pure protocol crate on alkcall channels (the `alk/git` ALPN),
|
|
following the alktty/alktunnels template (ADR-010). Phase 0 research lives
|
|
in [docs/research/](../research/README.md); every design claim here traces
|
|
to a POC finding or research doc, or is flagged as an open question.
|
|
|
|
## Current State
|
|
|
|
Phase 1, architecture committed to the pure-protocol-crate shape (ADR-010;
|
|
OQ-09 resolved). POC-1/2/3 validated the git protocol half end-to-end
|
|
against real git 2.43. Previous cycles settled the auth/backend theme
|
|
(ADR-011, ADR-012). This cycle settled the wire surface against
|
|
real-client captures: the receive-pack push state machine (ADR-013,
|
|
OQ-04) and the V2 multi-round negotiation ack loop (ADR-014, OQ-02). All
|
|
wire-layer design is now capture-grounded; the remaining open questions
|
|
are the publish-freeze timing (OQ-03, a release decision), sha256
|
|
policy (OQ-05, deferred on ecosystem need), and the grant-key identity
|
|
namespace (OQ-16, deferred on the first cross-assembly deployment —
|
|
blocks nothing in v1). ADR-015 resolved
|
|
review 001's A-1 (the repo-op gate) with the `manage` grant tier; ADR-016
|
|
resolved its A-3 (the native session preamble — `{repo, service}`
|
|
open-op params, the git-daemon request line on the direct path, and the
|
|
service dimension in the session tuple).

## Open Questions
|
|
|
|
All unresolved questions are tracked in [open-questions.md](open-questions.md)
|
|
with stable OQ-IDs, priorities, and cross-references. Remaining: OQ-03
|
|
(publish freeze inventory — partially resolved, blocked on first-publish
|
|
timing), OQ-05 (sha256, deferred on ecosystem need), and OQ-16 (grant-key
|
|
identity namespace, deferred on the first cross-assembly record-sharing
|
|
deployment). The wire-layer
|
|
questions (OQ-02, OQ-04) resolved this cycle with ADR-014/ADR-013.

## Document Lifecycle
|
|
|
|
| Status | Meaning | Transitions |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `draft` | Under active development; may change significantly | → `reviewed` when its OQs are resolved |
|
|
| `reviewed` | Architecture final; implementation may begin; changes need review | → `stable` when implementation verified |
|
|
| `stable` | Locked; changes require review, may warrant an ADR | → `deprecated` when superseded |
|
|
| `deprecated` | Superseded; kept for reference | Removed when no longer referenced | |
