ab47dac4ad docs(http): draft alknet-http architecture specs and ADRs 036-039
First speccing pass for alknet-http (HTTP interface crate: h2/http1.1/h3
server + from_openapi/to_openapi/from_mcp/to_mcp adapters).

Specs (crates/http/):
- README.md, overview.md — crate index, two-roles-in-one-crate framing,
  adapter location map, feature gates (h3, mcp), no-env-vars invariant
- http-server.md — HttpAdapter for h2/http1.1, axum over QUIC stream,
  Bearer auth, SSE projection for subscriptions, /healthz, stealth decoy
- http-adapters.md — from_openapi (reqwest) and to_openapi (projection),
  error fidelity (HTTP_<status> per ADR-023), type definitions
- http-mcp.md — from_mcp/to_mcp (feature-gated), streamable-HTTP-only
- webtransport.md — h3/WebTransport handler, browser streaming path,
  HTTP/3 request vs WebTransport session distinguished at framing layer

ADRs:
- ADR-036 HTTP-to-Call Operation Mapping (Proposed) — direct path
  mapping; to_openapi is projection, not router (the load-bearing one-way
  door from Phase 0 DH-3)
- ADR-037 MCP Stdio Transport Exclusion (Proposed) — streamable HTTP
  only; stdio is not built (RCE-vector security position)
- ADR-038 HTTP/3 and WebTransport as First-Class HTTP Transports
  (Proposed) — corrects the Phase 0 DH-2 deferral framing; h3 is in
  scope, not deferred, per ADR-009 §'What this framework is NOT'
- ADR-039 HTTP Server and Client Host Colocated in alknet-http
  (Proposed) — one crate for server + client host (shared HTTP deps,
  shared operation-spec->HTTP mapping)
- ADR-003 Amendment 1 — clarifies alknet-call is a protocol-foundation
  crate (the alknet-http -> alknet-call dependency edge)

Open questions (OQ-38, OQ-39, OQ-40 added under 'Theme: alknet-http'):
- OQ-38 WebTransport relay-as-proxy scope (genuine scope question, not
  a deferral — the decision is made when the use case becomes concrete)
- OQ-39 to_openapi published-spec versioning (one-way after first
  publication)
- OQ-40 reqwest client config and connection pooling (two-way-door)

Architecture README and overview updated with doc table, ADR table
(036-039), current-state note, and crate graph (alknet-http ->
alknet-call edge).

Reviewed by architecture-reviewer subagent: 3 critical, 4 warning, 5
suggestion issues found and fixed (missing ADR-039, WebTransport stream
routing conflation, undefined types, stale OQ-37 deferral language,
README OQ table completeness, Bearer-only attribution, cross-references,
ADR-038 ALPN quote, feature-gate placeholder, MCP temporal language).

d94d7a132a docs(adr-027): TLS identity redesign — ACME + RawKey decoupling
ADR-027 resolves the architectural gap surfaced when ACME integration
became a concrete target:

1. TlsIdentity::Acme variant — static config data (domains, cache_dir,
   directory, contact) with async AcmeState constructed at endpoint
   setup via two-phase TlsSetup (not stuffed into the Clone-able enum).

2. TlsIdentity::RawKey decoupled from the iroh feature — uses
   Ed25519SecretKey (alknet-core-owned wrapper over ed25519_dalek)
   instead of iroh::SecretKey. Raw-key TLS identity (RFC 7250, the
   default for most alknet nodes) now works in quinn-only builds.
   iroh transport converts via SecretKey::from_bytes.

3. ACME feature-gated behind new acme feature (rustls-acme optional
   dep). Non-ACME builds don't compile it.

4. dispatch_quinn guard for acme-tls/1 challenge connections — TLS-ALPN-01
   is handled at the rustls cert resolver layer during the handshake;
   the guard closes challenge connections gracefully instead of logging
   a misleading "no handler" warning.

Research confirmed QUIC (quinn) handles ACME challenges differently than
TCP (reverse-proxy): quinn gives no ClientHello peek hook, but the
challenge is fully answered at the cert resolution step before the
connection surfaces to the application. No handler registration needed.

Spec updates: config.md, endpoint.md, open-questions.md (OQ-12),
overview.md + README.md (ADR index), ADR-010 (cross-ref).

Tasks: core/rawkey-decouple-from-iroh (gen 1, no deps),
core/acme-integration (gen 2, depends on rawkey). Graph: 36 tasks.

2e34590522 docs(architecture): resolve review #003 — type/API surface completeness
Review #003 found 11 critical, 14 warning, and 6 suggestion findings
after reviews #001 (governance/security) and #002 (cross-document
consistency/two-way-door audit) were resolved. The theme: types and
APIs that were *referenced* but never *defined*, and stale ADR sketches
that didn't match the now-updated spec docs.

Critical fixes (11):

- C1: DerivedKey #[derive(Deserialize)] contradicted the custom
  Deserialize that rejects "[REDACTED]" — dropped the derive, added
  explicit manual Serialize/Deserialize impls (protocol.md).
- C2: encrypt prose said "derived at PATHS::ENCRYPTION" but the
  signature takes key_version — updated to encryption_path_for_version
  (service.md).
- C3: derive_encryption_key returned DerivedKey, derive_encryption_key
  _for_version returned EncryptionKey (same cache) — unified on
  DerivedKey, defined CachedKey (service.md).
- C4: tokio vs std::sync::RwLock contradiction — specified
  std::sync::RwLock, dropped tokio from vault deps (ADR-018, ADR-025,
  service.md).
- C5: Missing drift rows in vault README — added #9 (key_version
  ignored) and #10 (rotate not implemented).
- C6: ADR-022 build_root_context and invoke() sketches omitted
  abort_policy (9 fields vs 10) — added the field to both sketches.
- C7: Capabilities type referenced 20+ times, never defined — added
  struct definition to core-types.md with Clone+Send+Sync, Zeroize,
  sealed builder API, immutability guard.
- C8: SessionOverlaySource on CallAdapter but never defined, crate
  violation (alknet-call can't depend on alknet-agent) — defined the
  trait in alknet-call (call-protocol.md), matching the IdentityProvider
  pattern.
- C9: CompositeOperationEnv dispatch fall-through was "a two-way door"
  — added contains() to OperationEnv trait, made the composite probe
  before dispatching, eliminating the sentinel ambiguity.
- C10: No API for Layer 2 (connection overlay) registration, CallConnection
  undefined — defined CallConnection struct + register_imported() API
  (call-protocol.md).
- C11: with_local signature diverged between two examples (4 args vs 5)
  — added capabilities as the 5th arg, made both examples consistent.

Warning fixes (14):

- W1: invoke_with_policy restructured as required method, invoke gets a
  default impl delegating to it — eliminates duplication across impls.
- W2: CachedKey defined (service.md).
- W3: EncryptionKey constructor/glue specified, added to re-export list.
- W4: Secp256k1ExtendedPrivKey defined, derive_ethereum_key glue shown.
- W5: encryption_path_for_version rejects version < 2 (v1 is TS PBKDF2).
- W6: Wire payload schemas for all event types + ResponseEnvelope →
  EventEnvelope conversion table (call-protocol.md).
- W7: Timeout section — deadline on OperationContext, composed calls
  inherit parent's deadline, CallAdapter::with_timeout().
- W8: Request ID generation spec — UUID v4 for composed calls, wire ID
  vs internal ID relationship for abort cascade.
- W9: unlock_new already-unlocked behavior specified (returns
  AlreadyUnlocked).
- W10: KeyType Serialize/Deserialize justification corrected (stale
  irpc reference removed).
- W11: OperationProvenance and CompositionAuthority defined inline in
  operation-registry.md (were only in ADR-022).
- W12: encrypt/decrypt free functions marked pub(crate), relationship
  to VaultServiceHandle methods stated.
- W13: rotate signature removed from encryption.md (it's a
  VaultServiceHandle method, not a free function).
- W14: CallAdapter::new() + with_session_source() + with_timeout()
  constructors shown.

Suggestion fixes (6): Seed: Clone note, VaultServiceInner invariant,
ExtendedPrivKey accessor signatures, CURRENT_KEY_VERSION location, ADR-018
stale actor text, derivation helpers re-export note.

cb98f42cd4 docs(architecture): resolve review #002 remaining Tier 4 findings
Add ADR-026 (vault key model — HD derivation) recording the foundational
HD-derivation decision, 74' coin type reservation, SLIP-0010/Ed25519
default, secp256k1 feature-gating, and AES-256-GCM cipher choice. These
were previously inline rationale with no ADR (W9).

Extend ADR-018 with an explicit EncryptedData wire format lock — fields,
encoding, and semantics are frozen; no removal without a format-version
migration (W10).

Resolve the remaining guard clauses and spec decisions:

- W2: Capabilities must be immutable after construction (no interior
  mutability). Makes the Arc vs deep-copy clone semantics genuinely
  two-way.
- W5: Published to_* specs are compatibility contracts — best-effort
  mappings are two-way before first publication, one-way after. Version
  generated specs.
- W6: Salt field clarification — v2 salt is permanently unused; a future
  KDF is a different derivation family, not a version-indexed path; the
  field saves a wire-format change only.
- W7: unlock_new returns Zeroizing<String> — the mnemonic is the root of
  trust and must not linger in freed memory.
- W17: OQ-09 WASM — server-side dispatch door is honestly closed
  (Connection is concrete, tokio-bound), not implicitly preserved.
- W18: OQ-10 git — composability fork (raw smart protocol vs call-protocol
  projection) is a separate decision from ERC721 scope.
- W20: from_openapi must prefix imported error codes (HTTP_404) to avoid
  collision with protocol-level codes (NOT_FOUND). Normative rule, not
  naming convention.
- W21: ScopedOperationEnv field is private — construction via new()/
  empty(), query via allows(). Makes the future subgraph refactor
  non-breaking.
- C13: Connection::set_identity — the endpoint does not read identity()
  after handle() returns (Connection is moved into the spawned task).
  Observability is handler-side logging. Simplest honest answer.
- W1: OperationAdapter trait is async, returns Vec<HandlerRegistration>.
  from_call requires async discovery; ADR-022 changed the return type.
- W11: CompositionAuthority::as_identity() defined — constructs a
  synthetic Identity (label as id, scopes, resources) not resolvable via
  IdentityProvider. Second Identity construction path, acknowledged.
- W14: SecretKey is iroh::SecretKey (Ed25519) — consistent with the
  endpoint's iroh dependency.
- W19: Grandchild abort propagation is inherit-by-default (option a) —
  invoke() with no explicit policy inherits parent's policy. ContinueRunning
  auto-propagates to grandchildren unless explicitly overridden.

7dda6eec68 docs(architecture): add ADR-025 — vault local-only dispatch, drop irpc
Drops irpc from alknet-vault entirely. The vault's dispatch is now direct
method calls on VaultServiceHandle — no VaultProtocol enum, no
VaultMessage, no VaultServiceActor, no mpsc channel, no Service trait, no
RemoteService trait, no postcard serialization. The vault is local-only by
construction.

The core security argument: irpc made the vault remote-capable by default
(RemoteService generated unless no_rpc is passed). The IrohProtocol handler
forwards all messages without auth. The docs framed 'register an ALPN' as a
server-setup change. This is the default-insecure anti-pattern — security
should be opt-in, not opt-out. ADR-025 inverts the default: local-only is
the only mode, and remote access requires building a separate vault-server
crate (a visible architectural act, not a flag flip).

The actor path was already dead code — service.md said 'prefer
VaultServiceHandle directly — no channel, no serialization.' The actor
existed only to make irpc's Service trait work, which existed only to make
RemoteService work, which was the footgun. VaultServiceHandle's
Arc<RwLock> provides concurrent reads and exclusive writes — better
throughput than the actor's sequential processing.

DerivedKey serialization simplifies: always redact on serialize (for
logging safety), reject '[REDACTED]' on deserialize with an error. No
'postcard preserves bytes' path. This resolves review #002 W8 (silent
corruption on JSON-deserialized DerivedKey).

Resolves:
- OQ-21: remote vault access — resolved (not deferred). Not a vault crate
  feature; if needed, a separate vault-server crate with its own ADR.
- C7: vault-server-crate question decided — not created now, not precluded.
- C8: operation access policy table dissolved — all operations local-only
  by default; if a vault-server crate exposes some remotely, that crate
  defines the policy.
- W8: DerivedKey JSON deserialization — resolved (reject redacted payloads).

Amends ADR-005 (irpc remains for alknet-call, not for alknet-vault),
ADR-018 (vault is even more standalone — zero RPC framework deps),
ADR-019 (vault is the only layer, not just the only direct-caller layer),
ADR-008 (vault integration point unchanged, but now local-only by
construction).

cdf340bec7 docs(architecture): add ADR-024 — operation registry layering, resolve C6
Diagnoses a conflation in the pre-ADR-024 spec: the OperationRegistry
inherited immutability by analogy from ADR-010's HandlerRegistry (ALPN-level),
but the TLS-config argument that justifies HandlerRegistry immutability does
not apply to the operation registry, which lives behind a single ALPN
(alknet/call). This made from_call (which discovers ops over a live connection
at runtime) structurally incompatible with the blanket immutability claim.

ADR-024 layers the operation registry by trust boundary: curated (Local) ops
are static and immutable — the startup trust boundary is where their
composition authority is granted; session (Session) and imported (FromCall
etc.) ops are dynamic at their respective scopes (per-session, per-connection)
— their trust boundaries are per-scope, not per-startup. The principle:
immutability follows the trust boundary. Immutability is the security control
for composing ops (can escalate privilege); provenance + composition authority
are the controls for non-composing ops (can't escalate).

The OperationEnv trait becomes the integration point (Arc<dyn OperationEnv>),
following the IdentityProvider precedent (ADR-004): the CallAdapter composes
the root OperationContext.env per incoming call from the active layers
(curated base + connection overlay + session overlay). Children inherit the
parent's composite env by Arc::clone — overlay composition happens once at
the root and propagates through the composition tree.

Resolves review #002 C6 (OperationContext.env type identity crisis): the
field is split into scoped_env: ScopedOperationEnv (reachability data, from
the registration bundle) and env: Arc<dyn OperationEnv + Send + Sync>
(dispatch trait object). One field was being used as two different types
(reachability set with .allows() and dispatch trait with .invoke());

Localizes W4 (hot-swap ↔ registry mutability coupling) to the connection
scope: no global mutable registry to hot-swap; overlays replace naturally
with connect/disconnect and session start/end. Schema-drift on reconnect is
a per-connection overlay-rebuild concern, not a global hot-swap protocol.

Partially addresses W3 (CallClient registry security): the registry-shape
sub-question is resolved by the overlay model; the capability-exposure
sub-question (what capabilities a remote peer can trigger) remains for
ADR-017 — ADR-024 does not overclaim resolution there.

Amends OQ-04 to scope its immutability claim to the HandlerRegistry and
cross-reference ADR-024 for the operation registry. Generalizes OQ-19's
session-overlay mechanism to also cover connection-scoped remote imports —
both are per-scope dynamic overlays on the static curated base, using the
same trait-layering mechanism.

c62a6adc7b docs(architecture): resolve review #002 Tiers 1-3 — mechanical and consistency fixes
Governance (Tier 2):
- Advance ADR-022 and ADR-023 from Proposed to Accepted (specs already
  depend on their types as source of truth)
- Amend ADR-015: mark Decision 3 and Assumption 6 as superseded by ADR-022;
  update handler_identity type to CompositionAuthority
- Amend ADR-002: note handle() signature revised by ADR-007 (BiStream → Connection)
- Amend ADR-004: note 'enrich/replace' AuthContext language superseded by
  ADR-011's immutability model; update to describe set_identity on Connection
- Update main README ADR table to show ADR-022/023 as Accepted

Spec-ADR consistency (Tier 3):
- Add abort_policy: AbortPolicy field to OperationContext struct (ADR-016
  Decision 6 mandated this but the spec omitted it)
- Define AbortPolicy enum (AbortDependents | ContinueRunning) with Default impl
- Add abort_policy to build_root_context and LocalOperationEnv::invoke()
- Define the OperationEnv trait explicitly with invoke() and
  invoke_with_policy() methods (was referenced as 'must remain a trait'
  but never defined)
- Specify From<StreamError> for HandlerError impl with exact variant mapping
- Add Connection::from_quinn() / from_iroh() constructors (was referenced
  as Connection::new() but never defined)
- Remove undefined CertAuthorityEntry placeholder from AuthPolicy v1 (will
  be added additively when alknet-ssh lands)
- Fix config.md key-differences table: rate limits are in DynamicConfig,
  not StaticConfig

Mechanical fixes (Tier 1):
- overview.md: 'closes the QUIC stream' → 'closes the connection' (stale
  from pre-ADR-007 model)
- overview.md: OQ-04 entry updated from stale 'defer to implementation'
  to 'resolved: static at startup'
- mnemonic-derivation.md: remove duplicate helper functions block (incomplete
  first copy, complete second copy)
- ADR-003: add iroh (feature-gated) to alknet-core dependency list, added
  by ADR-010
- ADR-021: fix ambiguous 'W1 drift issue from the vault review' cross-reference
- ADR-022: rephrase FromCall 'leaf locally' to 'leaf in the local registry'
- ADR-017: add error_schemas to from_call mirror list and services/schema
  step (inconsistency with ADR-023)
- ADR-016: fix self-referential citation ('ADR-016 Assumption 5' → 'Assumption 5')
- Add ScopedOperationEnv::empty(), allows(), new() and
  CompositionAuthority::none(), new() impl blocks (referenced but undefined)
- Add call.completed clarification for non-subscription calls
- Add services/schema leading-slash normalization note
- Crate README ADR tables: add missing ADR-013 (call), ADR-015 (core),
  ADR-006 + ADR-010 (vault)
- Vault README: add consolidated 'Known Source Drift' table tracking all
  four drift items (OsRng, unwrap, CURRENT_KEY_VERSION, spawn bug) in one
  place, including the two previously missing from README
2026-06-22 05:46:37 +00:00
3e238a471b docs(architecture): add ADR-023, resolve OQ-24 — operation error schemas
ADR-023 adds error_schemas to OperationSpec so operations can declare
their domain-level failure modes (FILE_NOT_FOUND, RATE_LIMITED, etc.)
distinct from protocol-level codes (NOT_FOUND, FORBIDDEN, etc.). The
call.error payload gains an optional 'details' field carrying the typed
error payload conforming to the declared schema. from_openapi/to_openapi
map OpenAPI response status codes to/from ErrorDefinitions, making the
adapter contract from ADR-017 faithful on the error axis.

Also fixes W2 (KeyVersionMismatch stale comment in encryption.md —
ADR-021 implements rotation without this variant) and W4
(derive_encryption_key_for_version missing from service.md method list).

Spec updates: operation-registry.md (OperationSpec, ErrorDefinition,
Handler error mapping, services/schema), call-protocol.md (call.error
payload, CallError, ResponseEnvelope), README.md, overview.md,
open-questions.md (OQ-24), call/README.md, encryption.md, service.md.
2026-06-21 10:26:18 +00:00
1cedc4eeba docs(architecture): add ADR-022, resolve OQ-23 — handler registration, provenance, and composition authority
ADR-022 wires the three controls ADR-015 specified but left without
registration paths (C1-C4 from review #001): composition authority,
scoped env, and capabilities now enter through a HandlerRegistration
bundle. Provenance (Local, FromOpenAPI, FromMCP, FromCall, Session)
determines which ops can compose — leaves don't get composition
authority. CompositionAuthority replaces handler_identity: Identity
(it's a declared authority bundle, not a peer identity). Capabilities
are per-request from the bundle (resolves closure-capture vs context
ambiguity). Kernel/user analogy: user's authority checked at External
gate; handler's composition authority used inside; scoped env bounds
reachability.

Also fixes W1 (stale ADR-020 path example) and W3 (from_mcp missing
from adapter lists in operation-registry.md).

Spec updates: operation-registry.md (OperationRegistry,
HandlerRegistration, OperationContext, OperationEnv, registration
example, capability injection), call-protocol.md (build_root_context),
README.md, overview.md, open-questions.md (OQ-23), call/README.md.

9087f0579f docs(architecture): document vault remote capability, enrich OQ-21
The VaultProtocol is a remote-capable irpc service by construction —
#[rpc_requests] generates both Service (local) and RemoteService (remote)
trait impls. DerivedKey's dual serialization (JSON redacts, postcard
preserves) was designed for this. Enabling remote vault access is a
server-setup change, not a protocol change.

OQ-21 enriched with full context:
- What's already in place (protocol, serialization, actor, auth transport)
- What's not in place (IrohProtocol handler forwards all messages without
  auth checks; needs NodeId allowlist + message filtering in assembly layer)
- Operation access policy: Unlock/Lock local-only; Derive/Encrypt/Decrypt
  remote-capable
- Use case: machine node → workers (workers don't hold mnemonics)
- Per-machine-node vaults, not shared (compartmentalization)
- Breaking vs non-breaking analysis (enabling = non-breaking; protocol
  evolution = wire break, manageable via ALPN versioning)

The auth-wrapping handler lives in the assembly layer (or a dedicated
vault-server crate depending on both alknet-core and alknet-vault), not in
the vault crate itself — the vault is standalone (ADR-018) and can't
import alknet-core's auth model.

OQ-21 remains deferred — no commitment to implement, but the door is open
and the design space is mapped.
2026-06-20 06:48:23 +00:00
dc27753680 docs(architecture): add ADR-021, resolve OQ-22 — key rotation via version-indexed paths
Key rotation uses version-indexed derivation paths: each key version maps
to a distinct SLIP-0010 path (m/74'/2'/0'/{version-2}'). v2 is at index 0
(PATHS::ENCRYPTION), v3 at index 1, etc.

Mechanism:
- encryption_path_for_version(version) constructs the path
- decrypt derives the key at the version-indicated path (not always
  PATHS::ENCRYPTION)
- rotate(blob, to_version) decrypts with old key, re-encrypts with new
- No new mnemonic needed — same seed, different path
- Partial rotation is safe — old keys remain derivable
- The vault does not self-rotate; the assembly layer iterates blobs

Source drift flagged:
- decrypt currently ignores key_version for path selection (always uses
  PATHS::ENCRYPTION) — must use version-indexed paths
- rotate method does not exist in source — must be added
- CURRENT_KEY_VERSION must bump from 1 to 2 (per ADR-020, reinforced here)

OQ-22 resolved. Only OQ-21 (remote vault admin, deferred) remains.
2026-06-19 10:09:20 +00:00
6e9414bc81 docs(architecture): add ADR-020, resolve OQ-20 — HD derivation for encryption keys
The vault uses SLIP-0010 HD derivation from the BIP39 seed for the
AES-256-GCM encryption key, not PBKDF2. This replaces the TypeScript
predecessor's (@alkdev/storage/src/graphs/crypto.ts) PBKDF2-based
approach.

Key decisions:
- HD derivation at m/74'/2'/0'/0' produces the encryption key
- PBKDF2 is not implemented in the vault; no password-based derivation
- salt field is unused in v2 (wire-format compat only)
- key_version=1 reserved for TS PBKDF2 data; key_version=2 for vault HD
- TS-encrypted data requires one-time migration to v2
- CURRENT_KEY_VERSION changes from 1 to 2 (source drift flagged)

OQ-20 resolved: the encryption key derivation method is locked. OQ-22
(key rotation workflow) remains open but does not block implementation.
2026-06-19 09:49:06 +00:00
dd1ca1de70 docs(architecture): add alknet-vault spec, ADR-018, ADR-019, OQ-20/21/22
Spec the vault crate from its existing implementation. The vault is
stable (implementation exists); this spec documents what IS so the
implementation-sync agent can reconcile source drift.

New spec documents (crates/vault/):
- README.md — crate index, security constraints, public API
- mnemonic-derivation.md — BIP39, SLIP-0010, BIP-0032, derivation paths
- encryption.md — AES-256-GCM, EncryptedData, key versioning, salt
- service.md — VaultServiceHandle lifecycle, actor dispatch, cache
- protocol.md — VaultProtocol irpc messages, DerivedKey redaction

New ADRs:
- ADR-018: Vault as standalone crate (zero alknet deps; own types/errors)
- ADR-019: Vault assembly-layer-only access (CLI is sole caller)

New open questions:
- OQ-20: Salt/KDF Phase B (open, low priority — salt field reserved)
- OQ-21: Remote vault administration (deferred — needs ADR if ever needed)
- OQ-22: Key rotation mechanism (open, low priority — workflow not specced)

Spec-vs-source drift explicitly flagged (for the sync agent):
- rand::random() used for IVs instead of OsRng (security-critical)
- unwrap() on every RwLock acquisition (must use unwrap_or_else)
- ADR-038 / OQ-SVC-03 references in source comments are stale (old numbering)
- VaultServiceActor::spawn returns a non-functional second actor (source bug)
- KeyVersionMismatch error variant is defined but unused in v1
2026-06-19 09:23:47 +00:00
40f6468e18 docs(architecture): fix spec/ADR inconsistencies from pre-decomposition review
Critical:
- operation-registry: remove stale duplicate OperationEnv impl that
  propagated parent.metadata through composition (violated ADR-014);
  collapse to one canonical block with metadata: HashMap::new()
- operation-registry: fix request_id collision — format!("env-{name}")
  produced identical IDs across concurrent invocations, corrupting
  PendingRequestMap correlation and the abort-cascade tree (ADR-016)
- operation-registry + ADR-015: fix OperationContext.internal visibility —
  pub field let handlers mark their own call internal (privilege
  escalation per ADR-015); change to pub(crate) with pub fn is_internal

Warnings:
- core-types: add Connection::set_identity/identity (OQ-11) to the
  Connection type spec — was specified in auth.md but missing from the
  type definition
- operation-registry: add Capabilities: Clone design note — invoke()
  clones capabilities through composition; explicit security implication
- call-protocol: add CallAdapter root OperationContext construction
  example showing internal: false wire path, complementing
  OperationEnv::invoke() internal: true composition path
- overview: remove alknet/agent from ALPN registry — agent is a future
  consumer of alknet-call (call-protocol operations), not a separate ALPN
- call-protocol: clarify call.requested payload schema and the
  leading-slash convention (wire operationId has slash, registry name
  does not)

Suggestions:
- operation-registry: cross-reference ResponseEnvelope definition
- core-types: add StreamError to HandlerError mapping table
2026-06-19 09:13:10 +00:00
8f19eb8861 docs(architecture): add ADR-017 call protocol client and adapter contract, resolve OQ-15
ADR-017 locks the client/adapter architecture:
- CallClient opens QUIC connections, shares dispatch loop with CallAdapter
- Connection direction independent of call direction (both sides can call)
- from_call adapter: discovers remote ops via services/list + services/schema,
  registers with forwarding handlers (same pattern as from_openapi/from_mcp)
- to_openapi/to_mcp: project local ops to external protocols
- OperationAdapter trait: produces (OperationSpec, Handler) pairs
- Cross-node call tree: abort cascade propagates through from_call handlers
- Credentials from capabilities (ADR-014), adapter ops Internal by default (ADR-015)

The dispatch POC at /workspace/@alkdev/dispatch demonstrated head/worker over
SSH+axum; under the call protocol it's cross-node composition via from_call.
Connection topology (who advertises, who opens) is independent of call
direction — runner pattern, dispatch pattern, and P2P all work.

e2730869ca docs(architecture): add ADR-016 abort cascade for nested calls, resolve OQ-17
ADR-016 locks the abort cascade model:
- call.aborted cascades to all non-terminal descendants via parent_request_id
- Default policy: abort-dependents (abort everything downstream)
- Opt-in: continue-running (started descendants continue, pending ones abort)
- Server (CallAdapter) discovers descendants and propagates; client sends one abort
- Handlers clean up via Rust async drop semantics (Drop guards)
- parent_indexed map suffices for tree walking; flowgraph is optional prior art

Spec updates:
- call-protocol.md abort cascade section references ADR-016
- OQ-17 resolved, ADR-016 referenced across all call crate specs
- README.md updated: ADRs 001-016, OQ-17 moved to resolved
2026-06-18 09:37:19 +00:00
6285779c30 docs(architecture): add ADR-015 privilege model and authority context, resolve OQ-18
ADR-015 locks the call protocol's security model:
- internal flag switches authority context to handler identity, not skip ACL
- Operations have External/Internal visibility (Internal returns NOT_FOUND from wire, excluded from services/list)
- OperationContext carries both identity (caller/principal) and handler_identity (handler/agent)
- Scoped composition env bounds reachability (handler can only invoke declared operations)
- Three controls together: visibility (wire boundary) + handler identity (authority) + scoped env (reachability) = least privilege

Spec updates:
- OperationSpec gains Visibility field (External/Internal)
- OperationContext gains handler_identity field
- AccessControl section: ACL runs against caller identity for external, handler identity for internal
- LocalOperationEnv propagates handler_identity
- services/list only returns External operations
- Adapter-registered operations are Internal by default
- OQ-18 resolved, ADR-015 referenced across all call crate specs

6a7d4b9755 docs(architecture): add ADR-014 secret material flow, remove vault ops from call protocol
Resolve the contradiction between ADR-008's "capability source" model
and operation-registry.md showing vault operations on the wire. ADR-014
establishes: vault is assembly-layer only, capabilities carry outbound
credentials (distinct from inbound identity), call protocol carries no
secret material, adapters take credential sources not static tokens.

- Add ADR-014 (Secret Material Flow and Capability Injection)
- Remove vault/derive, vault/unlock, vault/decrypt from call protocol
  registration examples and all spec examples
- Add Capabilities field to OperationContext, propagate through
  LocalOperationEnv nested calls
- Add Capability Injection section to operation-registry.md
- Add no-secret-material wire constraint to call-protocol.md
- Add streaming subscribe example (LLM chat with Vercel UI chunks)
- Add Security Model section to overview.md (identity vs capabilities)
- Trim WASM treatment from ~20 lines to a design-constraint note
- Add OQ-16 (resolved: no vault ops on wire), update OQ-08, OQ-15
- Update ADR-003, ADR-008, ADR-013 to remove stale "via call protocol"
  vault references

6219a323b6 docs(architecture): untangle TLS identity use cases, remove phase framing, add ADR-013 Rust canonical + agent crate
- Rewrite OQ-12: separate two distinct TLS identity use cases (RFC 7250
  raw keys as default for P2P, X.509 for domain-hosted/browsers) instead
  of conflating them as 'file paths now, ACME later'. ACME is a proven
  pattern from the reverse-proxy project, not speculative future work.

- Resolve OQ-13 and OQ-14: remove 'Phase 1' framing from core crate
  specs. /{service}/{op} is the correct design for alknet-call, not a
  simplification. Batch as correlated call.requested events is the correct
  protocol design. Core crates need to be done right from the start.

- Add ADR-013: Rust as canonical implementation language. TypeScript
  @alkdev/operations is a reference that informed the design, not a
  parallel implementation. The only JS use case is browser SDK adaptation.
  Five reasons: memory safety, LLM competence, supply chain attacks,
  performance, browser-only JS.

- Add alknet-agent crate to the crate graph (depends on alknet-call, not
  alknet-core). Agent service uses call protocol client for tool dispatch
  and vault/derive for provider keys — no env vars for secrets. ALPN
  alknet/agent added to the registry.

- Add OQ-15: call protocol client and adapter contract. alknet-call needs
  both server (CallAdapter) and client (remote invocation over QUIC), plus
  the adapter traits (from_*, to_*) that enable composition.

- Clarify alknet-napi as thin NAPI projection layer, not business logic.

- Fix bugs: ProtocolController → ProtocolHandler typo, OperationEnv
  invoke() path format inconsistency, RateLimitConfig comment confusion.

- Update endpoint.md TLS section: comprehensive identity model comparison
  table, RFC 7250 as default mode, ACME as proven pattern.

80128a56e5 refactor: rename alknet-secret to alknet-vault
Rename the crate from alknet-secret to alknet-vault to better reflect its
purpose as a local key vault (seed management, key derivation, encryption)
rather than a network service.

Symbol renames:
- SecretService → VaultService
- SecretServiceHandle → VaultServiceHandle
- SecretServiceActor → VaultServiceActor
- SecretServiceError → VaultServiceError
- SecretProtocol → VaultProtocol
- SecretMessage → VaultMessage
- ServiceLocked → VaultLocked
- alknet_secret → alknet_vault (crate name)

Update ADR-008 with vault access pattern: the vault is a capability source,
not a service endpoint. The CLI injects derived/decrypted material into
operation contexts — handlers never hold vault references.

b47a6fe70b docs(architecture): resolve one-way doors, clean up Phase 0 specs
Resolve blocking one-way door decisions:
- ADR-007: BiStream is a trait, handlers receive Connection not BiStream
- ADR-008: Secret service is CLI-embedded, exposed via call protocol
- ADR-009: One-way door decision framework (classify by reversal cost)

Update existing documents:
- overview.md: add design principles, revise ProtocolHandler signature,
  update shared types, add WASM as design constraint
- open-questions.md: add door-type classifications, resolve OQ-01/OQ-08,
  move OQ-09/OQ-10 to deferred section, mark two-way doors as impl-deferred
- README.md: reflect resolved questions, remove crate spec stubs from index
- ADR-002: cross-reference ADR-007 for signature revision

Clean up premature artifacts:
- Remove 11 empty crate spec stubs (16-28 lines each, no unique content)
- Specs will be created when each crate enters Phase 1

f77b515968 docs(architecture): add Phase 0 architecture specs for ALPN-as-service model
Foundational architecture documents following the SDD process:

ADRs:
- 001: ALPN-based protocol dispatch (one endpoint, ALPN negotiation)
- 002: ProtocolHandler trait (replaces StreamInterface/MessageInterface)
- 003: Crate decomposition (one crate per handler, core provides shared infra)
- 004: Auth as shared core (IdentityProvider, hybrid resolution model)
- 005: irpc as call protocol foundation
- 006: ALPN string convention and connection model (alknet/ prefix, one ALPN per connection)

Docs:
- overview.md: crate graph, shared types, ALPN registry, failure modes
- README.md: index with doc table, ADR table, lifecycle definitions
- open-questions.md: 10 OQs across 7 themes (3 resolved, 7 open)

Crate spec stubs for all 11 planned crates (alknet-core through alknet CLI).

Key decisions resolved during self-review:
- AuthContext resolution is hybrid: endpoint resolves TLS-level auth,
  handlers resolve protocol-level auth (resolves OQ-02)
- ALPN is per-connection not per-stream, corrected ADR-001 (resolves OQ-06)
- ALPN naming uses alknet/ prefix without versions (resolves OQ-03)
- HandlerError return type on ProtocolHandler trait
- alknet/secret removed from ALPN registry until OQ-08 resolved

b5a4600d74 greenfield: clean slate for ALPN-as-service pivot
Delete old source crates (alknet-core, alknet, alknet-napi), old
architecture docs (ADRs, specs, open questions), old research docs
(phase2, event-sourcing, feasibility, etc.), old tasks, and obsolete
reference material (gitserver/MPL, honker, nats, rustfs, polyglot,
keystone, distributed-identity).

Keep: alknet-secret (standalone, compiles), pivot docs, iroh and ssh
references, rudolfs reference (MIT/Apache, fork candidate), ops docs,
sdd_process.md, and licenses.

Previous implementation preserved at /workspace/@alkdev/alknet-main/
for reference during porting.

Workspace compiles: cargo check + 14 tests pass for alknet-secret.

cfc44008d3 Sync architecture specs with Phase 2 research findings
- Add definitions.md: normative terminology disambiguation (Interface, Service,
  Transport, Token, Identity, Domain, Scope, CredentialProvider, etc.)
- Add credentials.md: CredentialProvider trait and CredentialSet enum for
  outbound auth, mirroring IdentityProvider pattern for inbound auth
- Rewrite interface.md: StreamInterface/MessageInterface split (ADR-035),
  InterfaceRequest/InterfaceResponse, HttpInterface/DnsInterface stubs,
  ListenerConfig with Stream/Http/Dns variants, credential presentation table
- Update auth.md: API keys in DynamicConfig (ADR-037), credential presentation
  per (Transport, Interface) pair, ApiKeyEntry struct in AuthPolicy
- Update configuration.md: API keys, ListenerConfig with Http/Dns variants,
  expanded TOML config examples
- Update call-protocol.md: resolve OQ-IF-01 (InterfaceEvent carries
  EventEnvelope + Identity), add MessageInterface awareness to protocol
  adapter layer
- Update overview.md: three-layer model now includes StreamInterface/
  MessageInterface, CredentialProvider/CredentialSet exports, definitions.md
  reference, ADRs 035-037
- Update open-questions.md: resolve OQ-IF-01, OQ-IF-02, add OQ-P2-01
  through OQ-P2-04, add OQ-CP-01 through OQ-CP-04, add OQ-DEF-01,
  OQ-DEF-03, OQ-DEF-08
- Update README.md: add definitions.md, credentials.md, ADRs 035-037,
  phase2 research docs, current state description

Key architectural decisions:
- ADR-035: StreamInterface/MessageInterface split (two Layer 2 traits)
- ADR-036: CredentialProvider as core type (outbound auth, alknet_core::credentials)
- ADR-037: API keys as DynamicConfig auth (hash-verified bearer tokens)

d3633b7839 docs: complete Phase 0 architecture — spec updates, review fixes, and link portability
Update four existing specs (overview, server, napi-and-pubsub, call-protocol) to
reflect Phase 0 decisions: three-layer model, IdentityProvider, ForwardingPolicy,
OperationEnv, static/dynamic config split. Review all 9 Phase 0a ADRs (026-034)
for consistency. Fix 4 critical issues from architecture review: missing OQ-SVC-05
in open-questions.md, deprecated hub terminology, undefined AuthService and noq
terms. Replace inline OQ text with cross-references per format rules. Add
ConfigServiceImpl definition to configuration.md. Port absolute workspace paths
to project-relative links by copying referenced docs (feasibility, certbot,
fail2ban, event_source_types) into docs/research/.
