The Unlock variant had a single field used as the
mnemonic, with no way to convey the BIP39 password extension (25th word).
The actor handler silently passed for the passphrase, making it
impossible to unlock with a BIP39 passphrase via irpc.
Split into + to match
the spec and SecretServiceHandle::unlock() signature.
Update secret-service.md to reflect the actual alknet-secret implementation:
- Fix dependency names/versions: secp256k1 (not libsecp256k1), version 0.29,
add tokio/irpc-derive/hmac/rand, use workspace refs
- Add SecretServiceActor and CacheConfig to public API
- Add ethereum.rs module to crate structure, fix test_vectors.rs filename
- DerivedKey is move-only (not Clone), matching the stronger security impl
- Update BIP39 pseudocode to actual derive_path_from_seed() API
- Document derive_password_string() convenience method
- Document SecretServiceActor::spawn() in irpc integration model
- Update Unlock variant to target state: { mnemonic, passphrase: Option }
- Add implementation gap note pointing to unlock-passphrase-gap task
Add tasks/integration/phase3/secret-service/unlock-passphrase-gap.md:
- Fix Unlock protocol variant to carry both mnemonic and BIP39 passphrase
- Currently the irpc message only has passphrase: String (used as mnemonic)
- The handle supports both parameters but the protocol can't convey them
Apply #[rpc_requests(message = SecretMessage)] to SecretProtocol enum with
#[rpc(tx=oneshot::Sender<Result<T, SecretServiceError>>)] and #[wrap] attributes
on each variant. Add SecretServiceActor that wraps SecretServiceHandle and
processes SecretMessage variants via mpsc channel. Update DerivedKey
serialization to use is_human_readable() so postcard preserves private_key
bytes while JSON redacts them. Add Serialize/Deserialize to SecretServiceError
for irpc wire format compatibility. Add tokio dependency for actor runtime.
Implement KeyCache in cache.rs with CachedKey (Zeroize-protected),
CacheConfig (TTL + max_entries), and lazy eviction. Wire cache into
SecretServiceInner: derive_* methods check cache before re-deriving,
Lock clears and zeroizes all cache entries, encrypt/decrypt use
cached encryption key. Per ADR-038 and OQ-SVC-04.
Implements deterministic password derivation using SLIP-0010 at the
given path. derive_password returns raw truncated key bytes;
derive_password_string returns Base64url-encoded (no padding) string.
Both require unlocked state (ServiceLocked if locked). Includes unit
tests for determinism, different paths, length truncation, locked
error, and Base64url encoding.
Per ADR-038, DerivedKey.private_key now derives Zeroize with #[zeroize(drop)]
ensuring sensitive key material is zeroized before deallocation. DerivedKey
is now move-only (no Clone), and JSON/debug output redacts private_key as
"[REDACTED]". Deserialization still works for postcard/irpc wire format.
Also fixes clippy needless_borrows_for_generic_args in encryption.rs and
applies cargo fmt to existing code.
Add module-level documentation explaining that the salt field is reserved
for Phase B KDF-based key rotation. Add doc comment on the salt field
clarifying it is not used in v1 key derivation. Add TODO(Phase B) comment
on salt generation in encrypt().
- Add irpc (0.16) and irpc-derive (0.16) as workspace dependencies
- Add irpc, irpc-derive, and secp256k1 (optional) to alknet-secret Cargo.toml
- Clarify encryption-salt-kdf task: Option B (document salt as reserved) is the
chosen path per spec update, removing Option A acceptance criteria
- Update irpc-secret-protocol-integration task with concrete irpc crate details:
real crate on crates.io v0.16, #[rpc_requests] macro, workspace config,
AuthProtocol pattern reference, DerivedKey serialization considerations
- Fix secp256k1-ethereum-derivation task: correct crate name is secp256k1
(not libsecp256k1), add version pin 0.29
9 atomic tasks for alknet-secret spec conformance and gap closure,
derived from architect's implementation review. Dependencies form
a 5-generation graph starting with spec update, then parallel
implementation tasks, ending with a review gate.
Tasks address: DerivedKey zeroize security, key caching with TTL,
irpc protocol integration, password derivation, secp256k1/Ethereum
derivation, encryption salt/KDF, crypto test vectors, and final
spec conformance review.
Create the alknet-secret crate with BIP39 mnemonic generation, SLIP-0010
Ed25519 HD key derivation, AES-256-GCM encryption, and SecretProtocol
irpc service definition. This is Phase 3.1 from the integration plan.
Architecture changes:
- Promote secret-service.md to reviewed status with full spec format
(crate structure, public API, security model, phase progression,
ADR/OQ cross-references, wire format compatibility section)
- Add ADR-038 (seed lifecycle and memory security): zeroize for v1,
mlock deferred to Phase B
- Add OQ-SEC-01 (mlock/VirtualLock for seed RAM) to open-questions.md
- Update README.md with ADR-038 and secret-service status
Crate structure:
- src/mnemonic.rs: BIP39 phrase generation, validation, seed derivation
- src/derivation.rs: SLIP-0010 HD key derivation, path constants (74')
- src/encryption.rs: AES-256-GCM encrypt/decrypt, EncryptedData type
- src/protocol.rs: SecretProtocol irpc enum, DerivedKey, KeyType
- src/service.rs: SecretServiceHandle with Unlock/Lock lifecycle
- 40 passing tests (unit + integration + doc)
Add http feature flag with axum, hyper, hyper-util, tower, and http-body-util
dependencies. Create http module with auth middleware (extracts Bearer token,
calls IdentityProvider::resolve_from_token, attaches Identity to extensions)
and router scaffold (default 404 fallback, no operational routes yet). Replace
send_fake_nginx_404 with axum router handoff when http feature is enabled;
fake 404 behavior preserved when http is disabled. Wire HttpInterface with
build_router() method and pass IdentityProvider through Server to handle_connection.
Implement the SSH session to call protocol bridge:
- Add FrameFramedReader/FrameFramedWriter for async I/O of length-prefixed EventEnvelope frames
- SshSession::recv() reads InterfaceEvent frames from the alknet-control:0 channel via mpsc
- SshSession::send() writes EventEnvelope frames to the alknet-control:0 channel via mpsc
- Add ControlChannelBridge implementing ControlChannelHandler for routing channel data
- SshHandler::channel_open_direct_tcpip routes alknet-control:0 to the bridge task
- Session Identity attached to every InterfaceEvent produced by recv()
- ControlChannelRouter gains take_handler() for non-control alknet-* channel routing
Implement RawFramingSession with tokio::io::split for read/write halves,
BufReader/BufWriter for buffered I/O, and decode_with_remainder for
partial frame reassembly. Add first-frame authentication via
IdentityProvider::resolve_from_token(). Add RawFramingConfig.auth
field for IdentityProvider reference. Update SshInterface test for
new RawFramingConfig shape.
Define the outbound authentication abstraction in alknet_core::credentials:
- CredentialProvider trait with get_credentials and refresh_credentials
- CredentialSet enum with ApiKey, Basic, Bearer, S3AccessKey, OidcToken, Custom variants
- ConfigCredentialProvider reads credentials from DynamicConfig.credentials
- SecretStoreCredentialProvider stub returns None for all lookups (Phase 3)
- Wire CredentialProvider into OperationEnv via credentials() method
- Add credentials HashMap field to DynamicConfig
Per ADR-035: split Interface trait into StreamInterface (stream-based, SSH/RawFraming)
and MessageInterface (request/response, HTTP/DNS). Remove TransportKind::Dns (DNS is
a MessageInterface). Change WebTransport { host } to { server_name: Option<String> }.
Restructure ListenerConfig from flat struct to enum with Stream/Http/Dns variants.
Task 1 (stream-interface-message-interface-split):
- Document that TransportKind::Dns EXISTS and must be removed (was incorrectly described as 'never added')
- Document that TransportKind::WebTransport has { host: String } and must be changed to { server_name: Option<String> }
- Document that ListenerConfig is a flat struct, not an enum, and must be restructured per ADR-035
- Move ListenerConfig restructuring, InterfaceConfig rename, and TransportKind cleanup into task 1 to avoid overlap with task 2
- Add HttpListenerConfig/DnsListenerConfig/StreamInterfaceKind/MessageInterfaceKind to task 1 scope
Task 2 (listenconfig-http-dns-stubs):
- Remove work now covered by task 1 (InterfaceConfig rename, TransportKind changes, ListenerConfig enum creation)
- Focus on wiring the new enum form into Server/ServeOptions/StaticConfig, adding constructors, validation, and accept loop stubs
Phase 2 completes the interface-to-protocol bridge and adds core types
that external crates depend on. The 8 tasks are organized into 5
generations with clear dependencies:
- Gen 1: StreamInterface/MessageInterface trait split (must go first)
- Gen 2: SshSession bridge, RawFraming impl, CredentialProvider (parallel)
- Gen 3: API keys in DynamicConfig (depends on CredentialProvider)
- Gen 4: ListenerConfig HTTP/DNS stubs + axum scaffold
- Gen 5: Review gate before Phase 3
Key design decisions:
- 2.4a/2.4b split: SecretStoreCredentialProvider deferred to Phase 3
- API keys (2.6) must land before axum scaffold (2.7)
- ListenerConfig (2.5) must land before axum scaffold (2.7)
- Gen 2 tasks are parallelizable (separate modules)
- 2.1: Add prerequisites note (verify call::frame module, ControlChannelRouter
wiring) before decomposition
- 2.2: Add raw framing auth design decision (first-frame auth event pattern
instead of per-frame auth) — simpler, more secure, matches InterfaceEvent model
- 2.3: Add InterfaceConfig restructuring note, TransportKind::WebTransport
tag addition (missed in Phase 1), note that TransportKind::Dns removal
is a no-op (never added). Add scheduling note: do 2.3 early since
subsequent tasks reference new trait names. Update ADR reference to 035.
- 2.4: Split into 2.4a (trait+enum+ConfigCredentialProvider) and 2.4b
(SecretStoreCredentialProvider, Phase 3). Clarify that the Phase 2 impl
is config-backed, not secret-backed.
- 2.5: Mark TransportKind::Dns removal as no-op since it was never added.
- 4.5: Note that doc sync round 1 is already done (commit cfc4400).
Second sync needed after implementation to capture any deviations.
- Open questions: Mark OQ-IF-01 and OQ-IF-02 as resolved with ADR-035
and ADR-031 references. Update OQ-P2-01 through P2-04 with ADR-036
and resolution status.
The axum router scaffold now only includes auth middleware and stealth
handoff — no operational routes or path conventions. External HTTP path
routing (from_openapi inverse, custom S3/git/OpenAI paths) is deferred
to Phase 5 since it depends on the spec-generation work.
- rustfs-events-select.md: deep dive into rustfs S3 event notification
system (9 target types, 30+ event types, rule engine, queue store)
and S3 Select (DataFusion-based SQL, CSV/JSON/Parquet input)
- honker-reference.md: deep dive into honker SQLite extension for
pub/sub, queue, and notification — core primitives, SQL API,
wake mechanism, single-machine design, and mapping to alknet
storage patterns
- definitions.md: formal term disambiguation for overloaded concepts
(service, interface, token, identity, domain) with cross-domain mapping
tables (alknet ↔ Keystone, distributed git, rustfs) and 8 open questions
- references/rustfs/: research on rustfs S3 store, Keystone/OIDC integration,
and credential mapping to CredentialSet
- references/gitserver/: research on gitserver library architecture and
integration paths as HTTP MessageInterface and SSH adapter
- references/openstack-keystone/: research on Keystone identity concepts
(tokens, scoping, service catalog, RBAC, trust delegation, federation)
and what alknet should adopt vs skip
- references/distributed-identity/: research on decentralized git, smart
contract ACL, on-chain identity, and Radicle comparison
Three research documents for Phase 2 planning:
- credential-provider.md: Outbound auth (CredentialProvider trait, CredentialSet enum),
account model as storage-layer concern (Identity.id as account UUID), SecretStoreCredentialProvider,
ManagedCredentialProvider, self-hosted service auth analysis (rustfs S3/OIDC, gitea OAuth2),
implementation phases A-D.
- interface-model.md: StreamInterface vs MessageInterface trait design, HTTP interface
as axum handler, DNS as MessageInterface, unified auth across all interfaces
(AuthToken + API keys via resolve_from_token), removal of TransportKind::Dns.
- tls-transport.md: Unified multi-interface architecture on port 443. Byte-peek protocol
detection (existing stealth mode) routes SSH vs axum. Axum multiplexes REST, WebSocket,
SSE, gRPC. QUIC/UDP with ALPN routing for WebTransport and iroh P2P. Single AuthToken
mechanism for all non-SSH interfaces. Four primitive operations (call/batch/schema/subscribe)
map to HTTP, MCP, and DNS.
Add doc comments and TODO markers to SshSession::recv() and send()
explicitly marking them as Phase 1 stubs. Notes that call protocol
event bridging from SSH channels is planned for Phase 2/3.
New Phase 1 modules should follow the existing pattern of referencing
ADR numbers in module-level doc comments for discoverability, matching
the style in transport/mod.rs.
ForwardingAction, TargetPattern, ForwardingRule, OperationType,
InterfaceConfig, InterfaceKind, DynamicConfig, and CallError are all
likely to gain variants/fields in future phases. Marking them
#[non_exhaustive] now prevents downstream breakage when new
variants/fields are added. Added constructor methods for types that
are constructed from other crates.
parse_proxy_config was using expect()/unwrap()/panic!() which would
crash the process on malformed proxy config strings instead of
returning a descriptive error. Now returns ConfigError::ProxyConfigInvalid
with the specific issue (bad scheme, bad address). Added tests for
invalid scheme, invalid address, and end-to-end from_serve_options.
NapiServerHandler was bypassing IdentityProvider, calling
config.auth.authenticate_publickey() directly, which meant no Identity
was stored on the session and per-identity forwarding rules could not
match. It also skipped ForwardingPolicy::check() entirely, defeating
forwarding access control for NAPI-served tunnels. Both are now
consistent with ServerHandler and SshHandler behavior.
Review found Phase 1 approved with minor issues. Created cleanup tasks:
- napi-identity-provider-wiring (bug: NAPI bypasses IdentityProvider)
- panic-free-static-config (code smell: panic/unwrap in production path)
- non-exhaustive-public-api (future-proofing public API types)
- adr-doc-comments (doc convention: ADR references in new modules)
- ssh-session-recv-stub-doc (documentation: mark stubs as planned)
- SshInterface implements Interface trait with accept() method
- SshSession implements InterfaceSession trait (stub for call protocol events)
- RawFramingInterface is type-only stub (Phase 4+ for DNS, WebTransport)
- TransportKind consolidated into transport module with Display, PartialEq, Eq
- ListenerConfig gains interface_kind field for (Transport, Interface) pairs
- SshInterface wraps existing russh handler logic (SshHandler)
- Auth delegation through IdentityProvider (not embedded in SshInterface)
- Channel routing through session to Layer 3 (forwarding policy)
- Server accept loop uses (Transport, Interface) pairs
Per ADR-026: SSH is Layer 2, not Layer 1. This is the highest-risk Phase 1
task, implementing the Interface trait to separate transport from interface.
- Add reloadAuth(), reloadForwarding(), reloadAll() methods to AlknetServer
- Add NAPI type definitions: AuthConfigNapi, ForwardingPolicyConfig, ForwardingRuleConfig
- Refactor NapiServerHandler to use ArcSwap<DynamicConfig> for atomic config swaps
- Add ConfigReloadHandle::dynamic_arc() accessor for sharing ArcSwap between NAPI and accept loop
- Add ipnetwork dependency to alknet-napi for TargetPattern CIDR parsing
- Add builder functions for AuthPolicy and ForwardingPolicy from NAPI config types
- All swaps are atomic via ArcSwap per ADR-030
Add Layer 2 interface abstraction per ADR-026:
- Interface trait with accept() and associated Session type
- InterfaceConfig enum with Ssh and RawFraming variants
- SshInterfaceConfig with auth, forwarding, host_key fields
- RawFramingConfig (minimal, no SSH-specific config)
- InterfaceSession trait with recv()/send() producing InterfaceEvent frames
- InterfaceEvent wraps EventEnvelope with optional Identity
- Resolves OQ-IF-01: every session produces EventEnvelope frames
via InterfaceSession, making Layer 3 interface-agnostic
- Valid (Transport, Interface) pair enumeration with
TransportKindBase and is_valid_pair validation function
- Module re-exported from lib.rs
- Change ServerHandler to hold Arc<dyn IdentityProvider> instead of Box<dyn IdentityProvider>
- Refactor Server::new() to use StaticConfig::from_serve_options() producing (StaticConfig, DynamicConfig)
- Remove duplicate parse_proxy_config from serve.rs (now in static_config.rs)
- Add with_identity_provider() accepting Arc<dyn IdentityProvider>
- Add integration tests for DynamicConfig reload and ForwardingPolicy deny
- Add test for custom IdentityProvider injection via with_identity_provider
- Move parse_proxy_config tests to static_config.rs module
Add local dispatch for OperationEnv with invoke() method, EventEnvelope
wire format struct, 4-byte BE length-prefixed frame encoding/decoding,
PendingRequestMap for call/subscribe correlation, call protocol event type
constants, and default /services/list and /services/schema operations.
Add ForwardingPolicy, ForwardingAction, ForwardingRule, and TargetPattern
types in config/forwarding.rs. Implement policy evaluation with first-match
wins semantics, principal and transport matching, CIDR and glob patterns.
Modify ServerHandler to check ForwardingPolicy before proxying in
channel_open_direct_tcpip. Reserved alknet-* destinations bypass policy.
Preserve existing behavior with default allow_all() policy.
Add AuthProtocol enum (VerifyPubkey, VerifyToken, ReloadKeys, CheckAccess),
AuthResult enum (Ok(Identity), Denied(String)), and AuthServiceImpl
wrapping ConfigIdentityProvider via ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>. All gated
behind the irpc feature flag per ADR-028.
- Add ListenerConfig struct with transport_kind, listen_addr, per-transport config
- Add Dns and WebTransport variants to TransportKind (tags only, no behavior)
- Add .listeners() builder method to ServeOptions for multi-listener config
- Keep .transport_mode() backwards compatible (creates single-element listeners vec)
- Update Server::run() to use listeners from Server struct (first listener)
- Add Server::listeners() accessor for multi-transport listener configs
- Update StaticConfig to support listeners field, converted from ServeOptions
- All listeners share Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>>, ConnectionRateLimiter, and IdentityProvider
- Graceful shutdown terminates accept loop via existing shutdown signal
- TOML [[listeners]] array-of-tables syntax supported via ListenerConfig in StaticConfig
- Add comprehensive tests for ListenerConfig, multi-listener ServeOptions, Server creation
Add Identity struct with id/scopes/resources fields and IdentityProvider
trait with resolve_from_fingerprint/resolve_from_token methods. Implement
ConfigIdentityProvider reading from ArcSwap<DynamicConfig.auth> for
fingerprint-based key lookups. Delegate ServerHandler::auth_publickey()
through IdentityProvider instead of direct AuthPolicy access. Store
authenticated Identity in the handler for use by ForwardingPolicy.
ConfigServiceImpl wraps ArcSwap<DynamicConfig> providing forwarding_policy(),
rate_limits(), and reload() methods for direct use (always available).
ConfigProtocol enum (GetForwardingPolicy, GetRateLimits, ReloadForwarding,
ReloadRateLimits) is gated behind the irpc feature flag per ADR-030.
Split alknet-core configuration into StaticConfig (immutable after startup)
and DynamicConfig (hot-reloadable at runtime via ArcSwap).
- Add StaticConfig struct in config/static_config.rs with all fields per ADR-030
- Add DynamicConfig struct with AuthPolicy, ForwardingPolicy, RateLimitConfig
- Add ForwardingPolicy with allow_all()/deny_all() defaults (ADR-031)
- Add ConfigReloadHandle with reload() method for runtime config updates
- Replace Arc<ServerAuthConfig> with Arc<ArcSwap<DynamicConfig>> in ServerHandler
- Add config_reload_handle() to Server for obtaining reload handles
- Add AuthPolicy with authenticate_publickey/authenticate_certificate methods
- All existing tests pass with the new config structure
- Default DynamicConfig produces identical behavior to current code
Phase 1 of the integration plan modifies alknet-core to support the
architectural changes from Phase 0 ADRs and specs. Decomposed into
dependency-ordered tasks across config split, identity, forwarding
policy, OperationEnv, interface abstraction, and NAPI reload API.
Critical path: config-split → identity → forwarding → wire-into-handler
→ interface-trait → ssh-interface-extraction → review.
Two highest-risk tasks (interface-trait-definition, ssh-interface-extraction)
are split from §1.8 per the integration plan's note that it may need
sub-phases. OperationEnv is split into types and runtime per Phase 1
local-dispatch-only constraint.
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/.
The remaining task descriptions implied that downstream concerns
(StorageIdentityProvider, irpc service layer, agent services, multi-node
deployment) already exist. Updated to clearly distinguish:
- spec-update-server: Phase 1 ships ConfigIdentityProvider, not irpc auth
- spec-update-call-protocol: Phase 1 is local dispatch only; irpc and remote
dispatch are contracted for later. Agent services are downstream concerns.
- spec-update-overview: Note which crates exist now vs which are Phase 2+ contracts
- review-spec-foundation: Add phase boundary check to acceptance criteria
The architecture specs were implying that StorageIdentityProvider, irpc
service implementations, and application services (agent, Docker, etc.)
already exist. This commit makes the phasing explicit:
- services.md: deployment topology now clearly labels 'Current (Phase 1)'
vs 'Future (Phase 2+)', notes that application services are downstream
- identity.md: StorageIdentityProvider labeled 'Future — Phase 2+',
clarifying alknet-storage doesn't exist yet
- storage.md: adds phase note that the crate hasn't been built yet,
StorageIdentityProvider is a future impl
- ADR-028: ConfigAuthService is Phase 1 path, StorageAuthService is
Phase 2+ contract
- call-protocol.md: Agent Service Pattern section explicitly framed as
a downstream application concern, not a core requirement
Add 10 new tasks under tasks/architecture/ for Phase 0a (ADR writing):
- 9 ADR tasks (026-034) with dependency-ordered structure
- 1 review checkpoint task before Phase 0b spec writing
ADR dependency graph (3 generations):
Gen 1 (parallel): 026, 029, 030, 031, 032, 034
Gen 2 (depends on 029): 027, 028
Gen 3 (depends on 027+028): 033
Gen 4: review checkpoint
Also mark all 34 prior implementation tasks as completed — they
were finished but still showing as pending in the taskgraph.
- Replace hub/spoke with head/worker terminology in call-protocol.md,
auth.md, open-questions.md, napi-and-pubsub.md
- Update operation paths from /{spoke}/{service}/{op} to
/{node}/{service}/{op} throughout call-protocol.md
- Unify Identity struct: auth.md already had {id, scopes, resources},
add note clarifying this is canonical (vs research/services.md which
used {node_id, fingerprint, scopes})
- Update integration-plan.md inconsistencies section to track what's
been fixed (hub/spoke, identity model) and expand service naming
to include external services
- Update call-protocol.md last_updated date
ADRs are intentionally left unchanged as historical records.
Organizes findings from the research phase (core, services, configuration,
storage, flow) into an actionable phased plan covering:
- Transport/Interface/Protocol three-layer model
- OperationEnv as universal composition mechanism (not replaced by irpc)
- Phase 0: Architecture foundation (9 ADRs, ~10 spec docs)
- Phase 1: Core modifications (config split, identity, forwarding, auth,
OperationEnv, interface abstraction)
- Phase 2: External crates (alknet-secret, alknet-storage, alknet-flowgraph)
- Phase 3: Integration and wiring
- Phase 4: Advanced features (DNS, WebTransport, app services)
Key clarifications: irpc services are one dispatch backend for OperationEnv,
not a replacement for it. DNS control channel is a (DNS transport, raw framing
interface) pair, not SSH-over-DNS. Call protocol and irpc operate at different
scope boundaries within Layer 3.
Document the OperationContext (request_id, identity, metadata, env, trusted),
OperationEnv (namespaced callables for handler composition), ResponseEnvelope
pattern, and how MCP/OpenAPI adapters map to the irpc service model.
- Replace hub/spoke terminology with head/worker throughout all research docs
- Add irpc service layer architecture (AuthProtocol, SecretProtocol,
ConfigProtocol, StorageProtocol)
- Add BIP39/SLIP-0010 HD key derivation for secrets management
- Add event boundary discipline (domain events vs integration events)
- Add application services layer (Docker, Node, Wallet, Proxy, Compute)
- New docs/research/services.md defining irpc service protocols
- Update core.md with service layer section and head/worker model
- Update configuration.md to delegate auth to AuthService (irpc)
- Update storage.md with secrets/key derivation and event boundaries
- Update flow.md with event boundary decision and cross-references
