gateway-publish:
- GatewayDispatch::invoke_sink (internal:false, forwarded_for:None)
- POST /publish: NDJSON body, first line {operation, chunk} (OQ-02
resolved: first-line convention; terminal errors = plain HTTP status
+ JSON body, not NDJSON lines); 404 internal/unknown, 401/403 ACL,
400 INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE for non-Pub
- ADR-068 + open-questions.md updated with the OQ-02 resolution
adapter-to-openapi:
- src/adapters/openapi_spec.rs: OpenAPISpec model (JSON/YAML/from_str
JSON-first per ADR-051, $ref resolution) shared by from/to_openapi
- src/adapters/to_openapi.rs: 6-endpoint projection, info.version
1.0.0 -> 1.1.0 (minor: /publish addition per ADR-045), /publish
NDJSON doc with 400 oneOf (INVALID_INPUT + INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE),
ADR-023 error fidelity (protocol statuses, HTTP_<status> passthrough,
internal-op exclusion)
- GET /openapi.json wired into HttpAdapter's router (bearer-auth layer)
Verified: cargo test (136 lib), test --all-features (136+10 WS),
clippy -D warnings (both), fmt. Doc validates against openapiv3.

Open Questions
Centralized tracker. Format follows the SDD process
(docs/sdd_process.md §Open Questions Format). Ported alknet OQs that
resolved before the extraction are recorded in the resolved section
with their resolutions; new alkhttp OQs start at OQ-01.

Open
OQ-01: WS ↔ byte-stream adaptation semantics
- Origin: websocket.md, ADR-067
- Status: resolved (POC
ws-byte-adapter; validated end-to-end — see the task's Summary intasks/websocket/byte-adapter.md) - Priority: high
- Resolution: The adapter treats the WS message stream as a byte
stream in both directions; the 8-byte chunk header is the only
framing. Inbound: WS read task → bounded mpsc (64 slots; backpressure
= send awaiting capacity, applying TCP-level backpressure to the
socket) →
AsyncReaddrains; channel close = EOF. Outbound: a writer task parses 8-byte chunk headers out of the pending byte buffer (live- confirmed: a single response frame arrives as TWO chunks —write_frame's prefix and body surface as separate mux payloads) and emits one WS message per chunk, splitting at a 1 MiBWS_MESSAGE_CAP(receiver's boundary is the chunk header, not the message). Flush is a no-op (writes queue; the writer task emits independently). Close: WS close → read EOF → REQ-CH-02 teardown;shutdowncloses the write channel (mux pumps emit zero-length sentinels on sender drop). Client-side consequence: chunk ≠ frame — channel-0 consumers reassemble length-prefixed frames from the byte stream; and the dispatcher readsoperationIdfrom the request payload. - Cross-references: ADR-067, websocket.md, tasks/websocket/byte-adapter.md
OQ-02: /publish body framing details
- Origin: ADR-068
- Status: resolved (implementation: gateway-publish task, 2026-08-28)
- Priority: medium
- Resolution: First line of the NDJSON body carries
{ "operation": "/{service}/{op}", "chunk": {...} }; subsequent lines are chunk values only. Terminal errors are plain HTTP status + JSON body (NOT an NDJSON line) — consistent with every other gateway endpoint's error surface. A?operation=query parameter was considered and rejected: it duplicates the first-line field and adds a second way to name the op (two sources of truth) for no curl-ability gain. The first-line convention is the single naming point. Implemented insrc/gateway/routes.rs::publish_handler.
OQ-03: from_wss reconnection semantics
- Origin: ADR-070
- Status: open
- Priority: medium
- Resolution: (pending)
- Question: On a dropped WSS connection, does
from_wssauto-reconnect + re-discover (services/list) + reconcile imported registrations, or does v1 surface call failures (INTERNAL, retryable) and leave the policy to the assembly layer? The v1 default (fail with retryable errors) is documented in ADR-070; the question is whether a built-in policy is ever warranted.
OQ-04: Browser client library ownership
- Origin: websocket.md
- Status: open
- Priority: low
- Blocked on: a concrete browser consumer (the alk UI) needing the
JS/TS client for channels-over-WS. The framing contract is the
alkcall BAST document (
chunk-header.bast.json); the client library lives outside this crate. Deferred(scope: browser UI work).
Resolved (ported)
Resolutions inherited from the alknet architecture; recorded here for reference. Full rationale in the alknet mono-repo's open-questions.md and the cited ADRs.

Not carried: OQ-38 (WebTransport standalone relay scope) — moot here; the relay is an alknet concern (ADR-069).
