docs(arch): hub-wiring cluster — aggregated env, peer_operations, from_call cleanup, alknet-hub crate spec

Three ADRs addressing gaps surfaced by the first hub consumer (alkapi):

- ADR-067: Aggregated peer-env wiring — Dispatcher::with_aggregated_env hook
  so compose_root_env reads a shared PeerCompositeEnv across all calls,
  not a fresh per-call one. The hub-defining gap (alkapi OQ-08 / G.1).

- ADR-068: PeerCompositeEnv::peer_operations override — adds
  list_operation_names() to OperationEnv, overrides on OverlayOperationEnv
  and PeerCompositeEnv. Fixes services/list-peers returning empty operation
  lists for non-local peers (alkapi G.6).

- ADR-069: from_call is a manual free function, not auto-wired — reverses
  the aspirational OQ-27 resolution to match the implementation. Cleans
  the 'v1 default' hedging language in ADR-017 and client-and-adapters.md
  (alkapi G.4).

New crate spec: alknet-hub — reusable hub pattern (aggregated env,
connection lifecycle, worker supervision with backoff, service discovery).

Spec fixes: builder API drift (with_local/with_local_streaming separation),
ScopedOperationEnv → ScopedPeerEnv type name, OQ count 51→54.

Three new OQs: OQ-52 (wait_for_close), OQ-53 (backoff defaults),
OQ-54 (inbound hook placement).

# ADR-069: from_call Is a Manual Free Function, Not Auto-Wired
## Status
Proposed
## Context
OQ-27 resolved (2026-06-27): "The decision is **auto-re-import on connection
establishment**. The overlay is per-connection (Layer 2, ADR-024), so a stale
overlay dies with the connection; re-import on reconnect is naturally scoped to
the new connection."
The spec in `client-and-adapters.md` §"from_call" (line 358) states: "This is
the v1 default; explicit re-import via a future `CallConnection::refresh()` is
additive."
The implementation does not match. `from_call` is a standalone free function
(`client/from_call.rs:80`). `CallClient::connect()` does not call it. The
assembly layer must call `from_call()` + `register_imported_all()` explicitly
after every `connect()`. There is no `CallConnection::refresh()`.
The "v1 default" language is hedging — it makes a committed-but-not-implemented
feature sound like a deliberate phase. The spec says "auto-re-import on
connection establishment" but the code says "the assembly layer calls
`from_call` immediately after `connect()`" (the doc comment on `from_call`,
line 76). These are different things: auto-wiring means `connect()` calls
`from_call()` internally; manual means the caller does it.
The alkapi project identified this as gap G.4: the hedging language in the
spec, and the question of whether `from_call` should be auto-wired into
`connect()`.
## Decision
**`from_call` is a manual free function. The assembly layer calls it after
`connect()`. It is not auto-wired into `CallClient::connect()`.**
### Why manual is correct
1. **The hub controls discovery timing.** A hub may want to verify the
connection, resolve the peer's identity, check authorization, and *then*
discover operations. Auto-wiring `from_call` into `connect()` would run
discovery before the assembly layer has a chance to inspect the connection.
2. **Discovery is not always wanted.** A pure-client connection to a public
X.509 endpoint (ADR-034) has no `PeerEntry` and no `PeerId` — the remote
is not in the peer graph. Auto-discovering ops on such a connection would
register them in a connection overlay that has no peer key, making them
unreachable via `PeerRef`. The assembly layer decides whether to run
`from_call` based on whether the remote is a known peer.
3. **The `from_call` function is already the right API.** It takes a
`&CallConnection` and a `FromCallConfig`, returns
`Result<Vec<HandlerRegistration>, AdapterError>`, and the caller registers
the bundles. This is a clean separation: connect, discover, register. Each
step is independently testable and independently controllable.
4. **Auto-wiring would require `from_call` to know about the registry.**
`CallClient` holds an `Arc<OperationRegistry>`, but `from_call` produces
`HandlerRegistration` bundles that the caller registers — the caller
decides *where* to register them (the connection's overlay, a session
overlay, or not at all). Auto-wiring would hardcode the registration
target.
### What changes in the spec
The "v1 default" language in `client-and-adapters.md` and ADR-017 is replaced
with an honest statement: `from_call` is a free function; the assembly layer
calls it after `connect()`; there is no `CallConnection::refresh()` for
mid-connection re-discovery. A `CallConnection::refresh()` method is a
genuine feature addition — non-breaking, additive — if a deployment needs
manual re-discovery without drop-and-reconnect.
OQ-27 is updated: the resolution changes from "auto-re-import on connection
establishment" to "manual — the assembly layer calls `from_call` after
`connect()`." The door type remains two-way (auto-wiring is additive).
### What does NOT change
- The `from_call` function signature, behavior, and tests are unchanged.
- `CallClient::connect()` is unchanged.
- The re-import-on-reconnect pattern is unchanged: the assembly layer's
supervision loop calls `from_call` after each `connect()`. The overlay is
per-connection, so a stale overlay dies with the connection; re-import on
reconnect is naturally scoped. This is the correct behavior — it just
isn't automatic.
## Consequences
**Positive:**
- The spec matches the implementation. No hedging language.
- The assembly layer has full control over discovery timing and registration
target.
- The separation of concerns (connect / discover / register) is clean and
testable.
- No code changes needed — this is a spec correction, not an implementation
change.
**Negative:**
- The assembly layer must remember to call `from_call` after `connect()`.
This is a documentation concern, not a correctness concern — forgetting to
call `from_call` means the peer's ops are not imported, which is immediately
visible (calls to those ops return `NOT_FOUND`).
- The "auto-re-import on connection establishment" resolution of OQ-27 was
aspirational and is now corrected. The resolution was written before the
implementation existed; the implementation made the right call (manual),
and the spec is catching up.
