docs(arch): land ADR-070 BidiStreamSource + OQ-55 AlknetClient deferral + impl task
Three core-crate changes surfaced by the alknet-channels POC: - ADR-070: extract BidiStreamSource trait so Connection holds Box<dyn BidiStreamSource> instead of a closed ConnectionKind enum; downstream crates (channels, future transports) implement the trait to add connection shapes without editing core. Public Connection API preserved verbatim. REQ-CORE-02 (close() params clippy warning under --no-default-features) folded in — the signature stays on the trait, non-QUIC impls ignore the args. - OQ-55: AlknetClient / client establishment extraction deferred(scope). Blocked on a second *transport's* real client (not a second QUIC client) — extracting a QUIC-shaped connector now would bake QUIC in as the establishment shape, the same welding ADR-065 unwound on the server side. Each crate builds its own client standalone for now. - core-types.md / auth.md / overview.md / README indexes updated to reflect ADR-070 and OQ-55. Architecture review: zero critical issues. - tasks/core/bidistreamsource-trait.md: the implementation task (Parts 1-3: BidiStreamSource refactor, close() fix, AuthContext::anonymous). |

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). |

docs(arch): ADR-066 — move from_jsonschema to alknet-http as HTTP-backed single-endpoint adapter
from_jsonschema was in alknet-call as a schema-only placeholder with a NOT_FOUND handler — broken (an op in the registry needs a real handler) and in the wrong crate (alknet-call has no HTTP client; a useful from_jsonschema needs reqwest like from_openapi). ADR-066 moves it to alknet-http as a real reqwest-backed single-endpoint adapter for non-standard/non-OpenAPI REST endpoints, functionally similar to from_openapi but one endpoint at a time. FromJsonSchema provenance stays in alknet-call (now a handler-bearing leaf). - New ADR-066 (supersedes ADR-017 §5 from_jsonschema clause + ADR-022 FromJsonSchema row; both amended with strikethrough + pointer) - Updated specs: call/client-and-adapters, call/README, call/operation-registry, http/http-adapters (new from_jsonschema section), http/overview, http/README, arch README + overview - New task: tasks/http/adapters/from-jsonschema.md (depends on from-openapi; includes alknet-call cleanup of the broken placeholder) - Old task tasks/call/client/from-jsonschema.md marked superseded taskgraph validate: 116 tasks valid |

docs(arch): sync specs to transport generalization sweep (ADR-064, ADR-065)
Three code commits landed a clean sweep discovered when building an
external app against the crates. This syncs the architecture specs to
match the codebase and amends the affected decisions.
ADR-064 (supersedes ADR-005): irpc was never integrated — no .rs file in
the workspace ever imported it. The wire protocol (wire.rs) is hand-rolled
length-prefixed JSON; the EventEnvelope shape was derived from the
@alkdev/pubsub TypeScript prior art (ADR-013), not from irpc. ADR-005's
premise ('irpc as the call protocol foundation') was never implemented as
stated. Superseded with a clear header; the body is kept as historical
record.
ADR-065: Connection::from_stream / from_bidi — Connection now accepts any
AsyncRead + AsyncWrite pair via ConnectionKind::Stream (yield-once
accept_bi contract: QUIC yields many streams, everything else yields one
then ConnectionClosed). Unblocks TCP+TLS, SSH channel dispatch,
WebTransport streams, and wasm streams through the same HandlerRegistry
as QUIC connections, with zero handler code changes. MockConnection /
ConnectionKind::Mock removed (tests use from_stream with sink/empty).
Stream-level Mock variants renamed to Stream (they were already generic).
Amended ADRs: ADR-003 (irpc removed from dep table), ADR-007 (from_stream
opens the server-side door; MockConnection removed), ADR-010 (TCP+TLS can
now dispatch through the registry via from_bidi; iroh 1.0 migration noted).
Updated specs: core-types.md (Connection/SendStream/RecvStream sections),
endpoint.md (TCP section, iroh note), call-protocol.md, operation-registry
(irpc Integration section replaced), overview.md, http-server.md,
webtransport.md, call README. OQ-09 (WASM) resolution amended: the
Connection door is now open via from_stream; the accept-loop runtime door
remains closed (tokio doesn't run on WASM).

docs(arch): draft alknet-docker architecture specs (ADRs 058-063, OQs 048-051)
Greenfield architecture spec set for the alknet-docker crate — a thin, single-host bollard wrapper exposing docker container/image operations as call-protocol ops on the shared alknet/call ALPN, plus a DockerTtyBackend (impl TtyBackend) behind a tty feature for interactive terminal sessions into containers over alknet/tty. Six ADRs: - 058: docker ops on alknet/call (no separate ALPN; raw-carriage handoff dissolved by alknet-tty extraction — interactive attach moved to alknet/tty via DockerTtyBackend, no carriage field on call.requested) - 059: bollard 0.21 (verified current on crates.io) + feature selection (http+pipe+time; no ssl/ssh/websocket/buildkit) - 060: container resource model (ADR-050 application) — alknet.managed/ alknet.owner labels, list owned_only flag, hosted-services operator role via static-resource fallback, handler-driven revoke with autonomous-death tolerance, resource-action vocabulary - 061: DockerTtyBackend in alknet-docker behind tty feature (attach vs exec mode; POC drive_attach_raw as reference) - 062: Docker client + OwnershipStore injection via closure capture (not Capabilities, not OperationContext — matches from_openapi pattern) - 063: exit code on terminal call.responded for non-interactive exec (call.completed stays empty, ADR-012 unchanged) Four spec docs (crates/docker/): README, overview, docker-operations, docker-tty-backend. Four deferred-scope OQs (048-051): network/volume ops, buildkit, system events subscription, create options surface. Updates the tty-backend.md Backend implementations table (DockerTtyBackend row now specced) and the architecture README (doc table, ADR table, current-state paragraph, OQ count). Grounded in the alknet-docker POC (docs/research/alknet-docker/poc-summary.md) which validated the hard parts; the remaining lifecycle ops are mechanical bollard wrapping. Reviewed by architecture-reviewer subagent; criticals (the docker_client injection model conflicting with the Capabilities contract) resolved via ADR-062/063 before commit. |

docs(arch): ADR-057 — alknet-tty does not depend on alknet-call (self-contained negotiation framing)
The earlier specs claimed alknet-tty reuses alknet-call's FrameFramedReader/FrameFramedWriter 'framing utility' (ADR-052 §6, ADR-003 Am. 1). A pre-implementation sanity check found this was unsound: FrameFramedReader::read_frame() is hardcoded to deserialize EventEnvelope — the length-prefix read and the type-specific deserialize are one entangled call, not a separable utility. alknet-tty's negotiation payload is a NegotiateRequest, not an EventEnvelope, so the claimed reuse did not exist in a usable form. ADR-057: alknet-tty implements its own ~30-line length-prefixed framing directly on tokio AsyncRead/AsyncWrite. The format coincides with alknet-call's framing by convention (both are length-prefixed JSON); the implementations are independent. alknet-tty depends on alknet-core only — no alknet-call dependency. The ~30 lines of framing is an idiom, not a domain abstraction worth a cross-crate dependency. Updates: - ADR-003 Amendment 2: clarifies alknet-tty does not depend on alknet-call; the Am. 1 protocol-foundation exception remains for alknet-http/agent/napi (actual type reuse), not alknet-tty. - ADR-052 §6: framing is self-contained in alknet-tty; format coincides by convention, not by code reuse. - overview.md: dependency block drops alknet-call; new 'Why no alknet-call dependency' subsection explains the unsound-reuse finding. - tty-wire.md, tty-backend.md, tty README, crates/tty/README.md, top-level README: ADR tables, Design Decisions tables, and dependency edges updated to reflect alknet-core-only dependency. - ADR-053, ADR-054: References updated to ADR-003 Am. 2 + ADR-057. |

docs(arch): alknet-tty spec sanity-check fixes — TtyControlHandle newtype (C1), backend cleanup contract (W1, ADR-056), clarifications (S1-S5)
C1: Box<dyn TtyControl + Clone> does not compile (Clone is not object-safe). Replace with a TtyControlHandle newtype: #[derive(Clone)] wrapping Arc<dyn TtyControl + Send + Sync>. The trait stays object-safe; the newtype carries the Clone-ability. Updated across tty-backend.md, ADR-053, OQ-43, and the tty README. W1: 'Drop is the cleanup, threads exit on channel close' was false for the local PTY waiter thread (blocked in Child::wait(), does not observe channel close) — a child that ignores stdin EOF would be orphaned on session cancel. New ADR-056 commits a backend cleanup contract: dropping the exit_code future MUST kill the session target. The local backend implements it via a ChildKiller held in the exit_code future's Drop guard (disarmed on resolve). Corrected the lifecycle section in tty-adapter.md, added the mechanism + constraint to tty-local.md, and referenced ADR-056 from tty-backend.md, overview.md, both READMEs. S1: error-frame < 16 MiB stated as a wire-format invariant (not an assumption) so the 0x00-first-byte disambiguation trick is sound by construction. S2: carriage field validation (MUST be "raw" in v1, else malformed_negotiation) specified. S3: NegotiateRequest + TerminalParamsWire Rust structs added with serde defaults and validation rules. S4: modes field annotated 'backends MUST ignore content in v1' in both tty-backend.md and ADR-053. S5: AsyncWrite/Stream qualified with crate origins (tokio::io, futures_core) in the TtyHandle struct definitions. |

docs(arch): decompose open-questions.md into per-OQ files under questions/
The monolithic open-questions.md (1310 lines, 47 OQs) was large enough to be unmanageable, with high size variance (OQ-42 at 220 lines next to OQ-06 at 8). Decomposed into one file per OQ under docs/architecture/questions/ (NNN-slug.md, mirroring the ADR convention), with open-questions.md retained as the index: theme-grouped tables plus a cross-theme Deferred/Blocked section that surfaces the 6 deferred OQs with their Blocked-on conditions inline (the safe-exit visibility surface). Per-OQ content moved verbatim; all 62 inbound links stay valid (none used anchors). README's curated OQ summary dropped (now redundant with the index tables). Also seeds tasks/architecture/ with this task plus two follow-ups found during the decompose: OQ-09/10 missing structured Blocked-on fields, and the tasks/architecture/ blocker-task half of the Safe Exit protocol being unenforced. |

docs(arch): alknet-tty Phase 1 specs — wire format, backend trait, local backend, exit-chunk ordering
Grounded in the alknet-docker POC (seed codec) and the alknet-tty POC (2026-07-05, validated the control channel, the local-PTY blocking→async bridge, and the signal-delivery contract). Four ADRs: - ADR-052: wire format — alknet/tty ALPN, two-carriage (JSON negotiation then raw chunks), fixed channel set 0-3, control as JSON, negotiation- error framing disambiguation - ADR-053: TtyBackend trait + TtyHandle — the backend inversion point; exit_code as a Future; REQ-TTY-01 (backends need not be natively async) - ADR-054: local backend as alknet-tty-local sibling crate behind a feature re-export; PTY vs pipe per-session; runner pattern preserved - ADR-055: exit code on a stream_type 3 control chunk; "exit chunk is last" invariant; adapter owns the ordering Five component specs (crates/tty/): README, overview, tty-wire, tty- backend, tty-adapter, tty-local. The docker/SSH backends are future crates (out of scope); the trait shape is committed so they can be built against it. Five OQs (OQ-43…47): two resolved (TtyControl Clone, stdin closure), two deferred(scope) (terminal modes, runner API surface), one open low-risk (flow control). Zero critical issues from a general-subagent architecture review; warnings addressed (inline rationale trimmed to ADR refs, TtyError and StdinCmd defined, framing disambiguation documented, missing ADRs added to index tables). |

docs(arch): ADR-051 — YAML input format for from_openapi (gap-fill; JSON-first detection, yaml_serde dep)
from_openapi's spec already stated the contract as "JSON/YAML doc" but the implementation only delivered the JSON half. vast.ai publishes a YAML OpenAPI schema, which surfaces the gap. This is gap-filling against an existing constraint — no architecture invariants touched (OpenAPISpec stays serde_json::Value-based, forwarding handler / no-env-vars / error fidelity / to_openapi output unchanged). ADR-051 records: (1) from_yaml + format-detecting from_str constructors; (2) JSON-first/YAML-fallback detection as a correctness rule (YAML 1.1 coerces yes/no/on/off to booleans — running JSON through YAML would silently corrupt string fields); (3) yaml_serde dependency (maintained official-YAML-org fork of deprecated serde_yaml, not feature-gated); (4) to_openapi output stays JSON (scope boundary). Specs updated to reference ADR-051 by number (http-adapters, overview, both README ADR tables). Implementation task added at tasks/http/adapters/from-openapi-yaml-input.md. |

docs(arch): add ADR-050 — dynamic resource ownership for runtime-spawned resources
Writes OQ-42's five decisions into ADR format:
1. Storage: reuse the repo/adapter pattern (ADR-033, fourth instance
alongside IdentityProvider/IdentityStore/CredentialStore). New traits:
OwnershipProvider (sync read, hot-path) + OwnershipStore (async write,
handler lifecycle). In-memory default; persistence adapter additive.
2. Integration: AccessControl::check consults the ownership provider
directly (Option 2). OperationSpec gains resource_id_path (JSON pointer
into the input). Backward-compatible — ownership=None falls back to
the static Identity.resources path.
3. Access pattern: proxy-only. Spawner owns, proxy to share via from_call
+ forwarded_for (ADR-032), teardown revokes. No grant mechanism in
core. Future grant is additive (new trait method), stated as
reversal-cost classification, not deferral.
4. Four edge specifics: list = scope-gate + result-filter; teardown =
automatic, handler-driven; fleet = per-node ownership, downstream app
tracks 'who is this for'; composition = two orthogonal checks,
ADR-015/022 unchanged.
Reviewed: zero critical issues. Two warnings fixed (None-handling in the
check sketch, missing ADR-004 cross-ref). One suggestion applied
('v1 mechanism' → 'initial mechanism' to avoid hedging misread).

docs(arch): resolve OQ-42 — proxy-only ownership model for runtime-spawned resources
Lock in the dynamic resource ownership model for runtime-spawned
resources (containers, TTYs, runner workspaces). Three decisions:
1. Storage: reuse the repo/adapter pattern (ADR-033, fourth instance
alongside IdentityProvider/IdentityStore/CredentialStore) with an
in-memory default adapter; sync read on the dispatch hot path.
2. Integration: AccessControl::check consults an ownership provider
directly (Option 2); OperationSpec gains resource_id_path (JSON
pointer into the input) so the spec is fully self-describing for
authorization.
3. Access pattern: proxy-only — spawner owns, proxy to share via
from_call + forwarded_for (ADR-032), teardown revokes. No grant
mechanism in core; 'poking holes' is a downstream-app concern. A
future grant is additive (new trait method), stated as reversal-cost
classification, not deferral.
Four edge specifics pinned: list = scope-gate + result-filter; teardown
= automatic, handler-driven; fleet = per-node ownership, downstream app
tracks 'who is this for'; composition = two orthogonal checks, ADR-015/022
unchanged.
Removes the prior hedging language ('decision direction set', 'open for
the ADR') and the contingent qualifiers from specifics 3/4 now that the
proxy-vs-grant call is made. The dependent crate specs (docker, tty,
runner, fleet) can declare their AccessControl shapes against this model.

docs(arch): set OQ-42 decision direction — repo/adapter storage + Option 2 integration
Two structural decisions for dynamic resource ownership (OQ-42), recorded in the OQ so ADR drafting starts from a clear position: 1. Storage side reuses the repo/adapter pattern (ADR-033) — a fourth instance alongside IdentityProvider/IdentityStore/CredentialStore. Trait in alknet-core with an in-memory default adapter; persistence adapter separable. Sync read with ArcSwap + honker-NOTIFY cache invalidation, same shape as ConfigIdentityProvider (ADR-035). No new shape invented; no Phase 0 needed for the storage side. 2. Integration point is Option 2 — AccessControl::check consults the ownership provider directly. Rejected Option 1 (augment identity with a per-request snapshot) because its purity was theatrical — the question 'can X exec into container C' was never purely a function of identity, it just looked that way because the resource set was static. Option 2 makes check's signature honest about what ACL checking is in the presence of dynamic resources. Cost is a check signature change (one-way door, every call site updates) — implementation cost, not semantic cost, per the project's decision principle. Refinement that makes Option 2 clean: OperationSpec gains resource_id_path (JSON pointer into the input, e.g. '$.containerId'). Fits naturally with the existing JSON-Schema-backed input_schema — the pointer is within an existing schema on the same spec. OperationSpec becomes fully self-describing for authorization: resource type, action, and which input field drives the resource lookup, all declared on the spec. Four specifics remain open for the ADR: the no-specific-resource (list) case, teardown coupling, fleet representation (spoke resources on the hub), and composition interaction with dynamic ownership. These were surfaced by choosing Option 2 rather than by leaving the integration point undecided. |

docs(arch): record OQ-42 — dynamic resource ownership for runtime-spawned resources
The alknet-docker POC research surfaced that containers are a natural AccessControl resource, but the resource set is dynamic (containers are created at runtime) and ownership is derived from creation — which the current static Identity.resources model (config-sourced via PeerEntry/CompositionAuthority) doesn't fit. The issue generalizes to every crate that spawns a thing at runtime and exposes it over the call protocol (docker, tty, opencode-runner wrapper, alknet-container fleet layer); solving it per-crate would diverge. Recording as OQ-42 in the centralized tracker with the generalized framing so the architecture workflow sees it: one-way door at the model level (core/call), two-way at the mechanism level, high priority, blocks the dependent crate specs. A Phase 0 research/POC pass is likely warranted before the ADR. |

docs(arch): ADR-049 — streaming handler for subscription operations
The call protocol spec describes streaming (call.responded*N + call.completed, PendingRequestMap::Subscribe, CallConnection::subscribe), but the server-side Handler type returned a single ResponseEnvelope — a Subscription op had no way to produce a stream. The TS predecessor (@alkdev/operations) had separate OperationHandler / SubscriptionHandler types; the Rust port collapsed them, losing the streaming path. This restores it end-to-end: StreamingHandler type, HandlerKind on HandlerRegistration validated against op_type, invoke_streaming() on OperationRegistry, server-side dispatch branches on op_type, new INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE protocol code for wrong-dispatch-path misuse, GatewayDispatch::invoke_streaming() for /subscribe SSE, from_call stream forwarding via CallConnection::subscribe(), from_openapi SSE forwarding. OperationEnv::invoke() stays request/response-only (stream composition is handler-level, not protocol-level). Amends ADR-023's protocol-code list (five → six). Tracks the stream-operators library as OQ-41 (feature extension, not an unmade decision). |

docs(http): add ADR-048 and websocket.md — WS carries native session, not gateway
Promote the WebSocket browser path from a section in http-server.md to a first-class spec (websocket.md) and commit the contract-pattern decision (ADR-048): a WS connection carries the native EventEnvelope call-protocol session, not the HTTP gateway shape. The gateway endpoints are HTTP-only; discovery on WS is via services/list/services/schema as ordinary call-protocol ops; subscriptions project as native call.responded events (no SSE). ADR-044 already decided WS as the v1 browser bidirectional path; ADR-048 clarifies the shape of what ADR-044 committed (§1 implies native session; the ADR makes it an explicit implementer-visible rule). The from_wss adapter (importing a remote node's ops over WS) is recorded as out-of-scope with a concrete reversal trigger so it is not re-derived later. Spec cleanup: http-server.md WS section collapsed to a stub pointer; websocket.md Why section references ADRs rather than re-arguing them; length-prefix decision made canonical (no prefix on WS — message boundary is the delimiter); default upgrade path pinned (/alknet/call) with HTTP/2 extended CONNECT noted; indexes (README, http/README, overview) updated. |

docs(http): resolve OQ-39; add ADRs 045-047; record pubsub prior art for WS path
OQ-39 (to_openapi published-spec versioning) resolved by ADR-045:
info.version semver tracks the gateway endpoint contract, not the
operation set — per-caller operations discovered via /search do not
bump the version. The gateway pattern (ADR-042) dissolved most of the
original churn concern.
ADR-046: assembly-layer custom HTTP routes on HttpAdapter. The HTTP
router had no documented extension point for deployment-specific
endpoints (e.g., an OAI-compatible proxy at /v1/chat/completions). Adds
extra_routes: Option<Router> at construction; raw HTTP, not operations;
default surface takes precedence on collision. The mechanism is the
one-way door; specific routes are two-way.
ADR-047: remove the direct-call POST /{service}/{op} HTTP surface. The
gateway /call is the sole invoke path — the simplified contract is a
few fixed endpoints, not a per-operation REST tree. The direct-call
surface re-introduced the 'dump the full API regardless of privs'
failure mode at the HTTP level that the gateway /search was built to
escape. ADR-036's routing decision is superseded; its non-routing
clauses (SSE, Bearer auth, /healthz, stealth, error mapping) survive.
A deployment wanting a REST-like per-operation surface builds it as a
custom route projection (ADR-046).
ADR-044 updated with the tradeoff framing (WSS is the right tool for
the call-protocol-from-browser case; WebTransport is the right tool for
the generalized ALPN-stream-proxy case we don't have yet — coexist, not
migrate) and the @alkdev/pubsub concrete prior art (the EventEnvelope
{type,id,payload} the call protocol was derived from already has a
working WebSocket client/server; the sync is a small adjustment, not a
from-scratch build).
call-protocol.md references the pubsub lineage for the
transport-agnosticism claim.

docs(http): resolve OQ-40 reqwest client config — ClientWithMiddleware + retry/retry-after middleware stack
OQ-40 resolved: alknet-http owns a shared reqwest_middleware::ClientWithMiddleware (not a bare reqwest::Client) with a two-layer middleware stack — RetryTransientMiddleware (reqwest-retry, exponential backoff on transient failures) + inlined RetryAfterMiddleware (from melotic/reqwest-retry-after, MIT, ~50 lines, inlined to bound the upstream's unbounded HashMap storage). The two are complementary: reqwest-retry's default strategy does not honor Retry-After. Hot-reload is rebuild-and-swap via ArcSwap (same pattern as ConfigIdentityProvider, ADR-035); a rebuild drops the connection pool, which is acceptable since a config change wanting a fresh pool is the trigger. The three one-way constraints stand unchanged: alknet-http owns its client (no env-var config, no shared global), credentials inject per-request from OperationContext.capabilities, outbound TLS uses the system trust store. Records the downstream layering boundary: the agent crate's provider SSE normalization (the solid part of aisdk's pattern — Vercel-UI-message normalization) sits on top of this client, consuming the reqwest::Response stream; it does not replace the client. The aisdk core/client.rs reference for client construction is dropped (env-var config + hand-rolled retry are the anti-patterns discarded); the from_openapi.ts SSE normalization reference in the forwarding-handler section is kept (separate, solid pattern). No ADR — the decision is internal to alknet-http: the client type does not cross crate boundaries (alknet-call never sees reqwest), the library choice is reversible, and it does not touch the system's structure, constraints, or cross-crate API surface. Updates: http-adapters.md (HTTP client section rewritten, references updated, constraints/OQ bullets updated), http-mcp.md (OQ-40 status flip), open- questions.md (OQ-40 resolved with full config-shape table), README.md (OQ-40 folded into the existing two-way-doors bucket), and three secondary docs (crates/http/README.md, overview.md, http-server.md) that carried stale 'open' OQ-40 references. |

docs(http): defer h3/WebTransport (ADR-044); browsers use WebSocket for v1
Working through the WebTransport implementation path surfaced a scope question distinct from the hedging-as-deferral anti-pattern ADR-038 was written to correct. Three findings drove the re-evaluation: 1. The browser bidirectional call-protocol path doesn't require WebTransport — WebSocket is full-duplex, EventEnvelope fits a WS binary message boundary cleanly, and the Dispatcher is stream- agnostic (ADR-012). What WebTransport gives over WebSocket (native multi-stream multiplexing, the ALPN-as-stream substrate) benefits the proxy use case, not the call protocol. 2. WebTransport is a draft standard (-07, not RFC) on an experimental Rust dependency stack (wtransport/h3 both self-describe as not production-ready). Either choice puts a draft protocol on the security surface of the first release. 3. The ALPN-stream-proxy (ADR-040) is speculative — its WASM parser consumers (browser SSH/SFTP/git clients) don't exist yet, and the downstream crates WebTransport deferral blocks (SSH, git, SFTP) expose their ALPNs natively over QUIC regardless. This is a scope decision (per ADR-009: a decision that 'genuinely doesn't need to be made yet because the use case isn't concrete'), not hedging. The reversal trigger is concrete: a real deployment needing the ALPN-stream-proxy. ADR-038 is superseded (its anti-pattern correction stands; its specific 'h3 in scope now' decision is reversed). ADR-040 and ADR-043 are parked, not superseded — their designs revive unchanged when WebTransport revives, with §2 (bidirectionality) and §3 (no-PeerId overlay) of ADR-043 transferring to WebSocket for v1. ADR-044 §5 also states the 'browser is not a peer' rationale that ADR-034 §4 closed without arguing: peer = addressable node in the call-protocol peer graph (stable PeerId, PeerRef::Specific-reachable, identity stable across reconnects), not 'any endpoint that exchanges calls during a live session.' A browser is the second but not the first (no stable crypto identity of its own, ephemeral, not addressable from other nodes). ADR-034 §4 and Assumption 2 are amended by reference. The wtransport-vs-hyperium dependency question is recorded (not resolved — WebTransport is deferred) in ADR-044 §'Research note' and webtransport.md so the revival doesn't re-derive it: wtransport probably isn't the right choice (axum-bridge friction — it owns its own HTTP serving path); the hyperium stack (h3 + h3-quinn + h3-webtransport) fits the axum integration better but its server-side WebTransport API needs verification before commitment. Reviewed by architecture-review subagent; all critical cross-reference issues (ADR-034 §5 stale 'in scope' assertion, ADR-036 Context listing h3 as implemented, webtransport.md Design Decisions table) resolved. |

docs(http): add ADR-043 WebTransport bidirectional ALPN substrate; fix spec drift from mid-spec pivot
A consistency review of the alknet-http specs found two classes of
issues: internal contradictions from the mid-spec pivot (the to_openapi
gateway pattern landed in prose but not in cross-references), and a
systematic client→server assumption that only holds for the OpenAPI/MCP
case leaking into the WebTransport architecture.
Class 1 (internal contradictions):
- C1: to_openapi was half-refactored — body described the ADR-042
gateway pattern but the decisions table and ADR-036 still said
'paths mirror /{service}/{op}'. ADR-036's to_openapi clause is now
amended as superseded by ADR-042; the stale decisions row and README
Principle 2 are fixed.
- C2: the axum Router route list didn't include the 5 gateway endpoints
(/search, /schema, /call, /batch, /subscribe). Added them; clarified
/openapi.json as the gateway description doc; added gateway paths to
the decoy exclusion list.
- C3: ADR-034 §5 still talked about the 'h3/WebTransport deferral
bucket' that ADR-038 eliminated. Amended §5/Consequences/References
to drop the deferral framing (the auth-model decision stands; only
the 'when' wording was stale).
Class 2 (one-way direction assumption):
- C4/C5/C6: the WebTransport specs framed the session as browser→hub
one-way, when the call protocol is bidirectional and WebTransport is
a general ALPN transport substrate. New ADR-043 reframes WebTransport
as a bidirectional ALPN transport substrate (call protocol is the
first/canonical target; needs no WASM parser), names the call
protocol's bidirectionality over WebTransport sessions, and states
the inbound no-PeerId connection-local overlay as the mirror of
ADR-034 §2. webtransport.md is updated to reflect this framing;
ADR-040 is repositioned (not superseded) as the substrate's non-call-
ALPN mechanism.
- C7: the HTTP/1.1+HTTP/2 surface's one-directionality is now named as
a lossy consequence of HTTP request/response; WebTransport is named
as the surface that restores the bidirectional call model.
- C8: overview.md acknowledges the from/to direction model is
OpenAPI/MCP-specific, not a call-protocol property.
A review subagent pass on ADR-043 + webtransport.md found no critical
issues; warnings W1-W3 (residual browser-as-subject framing, ADR-009
rationale in spec, opening abstract tone) and suggestions S2/S4/S5
were addressed.

docs(http): add ADR-042 OpenAPI gateway pattern for to_openapi
The to_openapi spec was describing one OpenAPI path per alknet operation
— the inverse of from_openapi. That inverse is genuinely messy: the call
protocol's input is a flat JSON object, and generating a traditional
OpenAPI path entry (POST /fs/{path} with path param, body, query params)
requires reverse-engineering which fields are path/query/body — metadata
the call protocol doesn't carry. The three options (leaky HTTP metadata
on OperationSpec, fragile heuristics, manual annotation) are all messy.
ADR-042 replaces this with the gateway pattern (same as ADR-041 for
to_mcp): to_openapi generates 5 fixed endpoints (search, schema, call,
batch, subscribe) that gate access to the full operation registry. The
input is always a flat JSON body — no path/query/body split to
reverse-engineer. JSON Schema is already in the OperationSpec.
The per-caller API surface is the key advantage: /search is
AccessControl-filtered, so the client sees only what it can call. The
Gitea failure mode (dumping admin ops to every caller in a static
OpenAPI doc) is structurally impossible — the per-caller surface is the
default, not an afterthought. OpenAPI has no per-caller filtering
concept; the gateway pattern provides it through /search.
Gateway endpoint set:
- /search -> services/list (AccessControl-filtered, names + descriptions)
- /schema -> services/schema (full OperationSpec)
- /call -> call.requested (Query/Mutation, flat JSON body)
- /batch -> multiple call.requested (correlated IDs)
- /subscribe -> call.requested (Subscription, SSE) — the one endpoint
the MCP gateway excludes (MCP is request/response; OpenAPI/SSE
supports streaming)
A traditional per-operation-paths projection is additive (a deployment
that wants the nice Swagger UI builds it with HTTP-specific metadata),
not a replacement. The gateway is the default.
http-adapters.md to_openapi section rewritten: the gateway endpoint
set, per-caller filtering, error fidelity on the /call endpoint, and
the additive traditional projection. The 'Why' section adds the
flat->structured and per-caller-surface rationale.

docs(http): add ADR-041 MCP tool-gateway pattern for to_mcp
The to_mcp spec was describing one MCP tool per alknet operation — the tool-bloat problem. An LLM connecting to a node with 200 operations gets 200 MCP tools dumped into its context, degrading reasoning and wasting context budget. ADR-041 replaces this with the tool-gateway pattern (same pattern as opencode's memory and worktree tools): to_mcp exposes 4 fixed meta-tools (search, schema, call, batch) that gate access to the full operation registry. The LLM has a few tools in context, discovers operations on demand through search + schema, then calls. Same principle as Linux's man command — don't preload all documentation; query on demand. Gateway tool set: - search -> services/list (names + descriptions, AccessControl-filtered) - schema -> services/schema (full OperationSpec for a specific op) - call -> call.requested (Query/Mutation only, request/response) - batch -> multiple call.requested (correlated IDs, OQ-14) Subscription operations are excluded — MCP tool calls are request/response by protocol design (the client blocks until CallToolResult returns); streaming subscriptions don't fit. Subscriptions are filtered out of search results and cannot be invoked via call. http-mcp.md to_mcp section rewritten: the gateway tool set, Subscription exclusion, and the service behavior (tools/list returns 4 fixed tools, tools/call dispatches through the gateway). The 'Why' section adds the tool-bloat rationale and the memory/worktree tool pattern that informed the design.

docs(http): add ADR-040 WebTransport ALPN-stream-proxy and reframe OQ-38
The 'WebTransport proxy' concept was conflating two distinct things; this pass separates them: 1. In-process ALPN-stream-proxy (ADR-040, in alknet-http): the h3 handler hands a WebTransport stream to another ALPN handler (SshAdapter, GitAdapter, etc.) as a Connection, so a browser with a WASM parser can reach any ALPN service via WebTransport. Path-based routing (the CONNECT path declares the target: /alknet/ssh -> SshAdapter). HttpAdapter gains Arc<HandlerRegistry> for the lookup. The browser's WASM parser implements BiStream (ADR-007) over the WebTransport stream. SSH-over-WebTransport is HTTPS-shaped at the network layer (anti-censorship: the 'VPN-like without being a VPN' use case on a clean foundation). russh-sftp demonstrates WASM targeting is feasible; SSH is the next target. 2. Standalone relay service (OQ-38, future alknet-relay crate): a full relay - fork of iroh-relay - with WebTransport proxy fallback for NAT traversal. This is infrastructure, not a mode of the h3 handler. OQ-38 reframed to be the standalone-relay scope question (distinct from the in-process proxy now resolved by ADR-040). webtransport.md updated: three stream destinations (call protocol, ALPN-handler proxy, other sub-protocols) with path-based routing; new 'ALPN-stream-proxy' section covering the WASM client side, auth model (bearer token gates the session; protocol's own auth gates the protocol session), and the HandlerRegistry reference.

docs(arch): ADR-035 — concrete persistence adapter shapes, resolve OQ-36
Commits the concrete adapter shape deferred by ADR-033: read-sync / write-async split with honker NOTIFY/LISTEN for no-restart cache invalidation, against SQLite, in a separate alknet-store-sqlite crate. Two constraints drive the design: (1) the hot-path read trait (IdentityProvider::resolve_from_fingerprint, CredentialStore::get) is sync — called in the accept loop, no .await — so a SQLite-backed adapter must cache in memory and serve sync reads from the cache; (2) auth changes must take effect without a restart (an early issue the project already fixed for ConfigIdentityProvider via ArcSwap config reload). honker's SQLite NOTIFY/LISTEN (single-digit-ms wake, no polling) is the cache-invalidation mechanism that makes both hold: write commits to SQLite + emits NOTIFY, the running process's LISTEN wakes, the in-memory index reloads and atomically swaps, the next read sees the new state. Same ArcSwap-reload pattern as config, generalized from 'config file is source of truth' to 'SQLite is source of truth, honker signals when it changed.' New async IdentityStore write trait (put_peer / update_peer / remove_peer) extends the sync IdentityProvider read trait for peer mutations. ConfigIdentityProvider does NOT implement it (config reload is its write path — a posture enforced by the absence of a backend, not a type-system constraint); SqliteIdentityProvider implements both. CredentialStore::put/delete refined to async (within ADR-031's one-way door — the contract was get/put/delete keyed by provider persisting EncryptedData never decrypting; sync-vs-async was unspecified). CredentialStoreError renamed to shared StoreError covering both traits. alknet-store-sqlite is one crate implementing both IdentityStore and CredentialStore with shared SQLite connection + honker LISTEN infra (splitting later is a two-way door). Schema shape committed (one row per PeerEntry with JSON columns for fingerprints/scopes/resources; one row per EncryptedData blob keyed by provider); exact DDL is an implementation-detail two-way door in the adapter crate. The keypal adapter-factory pattern is intentionally not ported to Rust (runtime column-mapping is a TS affordance; in Rust each adapter is a concrete type, cross-cutting concerns are a shared helper module). Amends ADR-031 (put/delete async refinement, StoreError rename), ADR-033 (concrete adapter shape now specified, two-crate framing collapsed to one), ADR-034 (OQ-36 now resolved), auth.md (IdentityStore section, cache-invalidation summary, OQ-36 reference), config.md (two write paths note), and the OQ-36/OQ-34 entries in open-questions.md. Review fixed 4 criticals (error-type name divergence, duplicate IdentityProvider sketch, upsert/Duplicate ambiguity, 'shape unchanged' contradiction), 7 warnings, 5 suggestions. |

docs(arch): ADR-034 — outgoing-only X.509 and three peer roles, resolve OQ-37
Untangles the conflation of three distinct remote roles under 'X.509 endpoint': (1) public X.509 endpoint — a remote HTTPS/call-over-TLS server the local node is a client of (no PeerEntry, no PeerId, not in the peer graph; CA verification + bearer token); (2) transport relay — iroh's DERP-equivalent, infrastructure, not an alknet peer; (3) hub / hosting node — an alknet peer that also exposes a public domain + X.509 for browsers (mixed-fingerprint PeerEntry, already supported by ADR-030). The load-bearing one-way door is the client-side verifier selection rule: known peer (PeerEntry present) → fingerprint pin; unknown X.509 remote → CA verification (WebPkiServerVerifier); unknown Ed25519 remote → fails closed. This closes the AcceptAnyServerCertVerifier security hole OQ-29 flagged, with the peer-model criterion (PeerEntry presence) made explicit. The 'make PeerEntry symmetric' instinct is rejected — pure-client connections to public APIs have no stable logical identity to pin. Documents that CallCredentials.remote_identity: None is load-bearing (None = public X.509 endpoint → CA path, not a missing field; Some = known peer → fingerprint pin), closing a subtle gap where an implementer could have defaulted to a placeholder or treated None as skip-verify. Records WebTransport relay-as-proxy (deferred with h3/WebTransport, new OQ-HTTP-07) and on-chain/smart-contract peer discovery (fits the OQ-36 repo/adapter pattern, no auth-model change) so they aren't lost. Amends auth.md and client-and-adapters.md with the three-role naming, the verifier selection rule, and the Option semantics; updates OQ-37 to resolved in open-questions.md, README.md, and both crate READMEs. |

docs(arch): multi-credential PeerEntry, resolve OQ-29, dissolve OQ-35, add OQ-37
Amend ADR-030 with three changes from the auth-type analysis: 1. PeerEntry is now multi-credential: fingerprints: Vec<String> (Ed25519 and/or X.509) + auth_token_hash: Option<String> (bearer token). All resolve to the same peer_id. A peer that authenticates via Ed25519 today and via auth_token tomorrow gets the same PeerId. The 'peer bearer vs auth bearer' distinction was wrong — the correct framing is the three credential types (Ed25519, X.509, bearer token) and whether the token needs a stable logical id across rotation (PeerEntry) or not (ApiKeyEntry). 2. Fingerprint normalization (§6): quinn extracts the raw Ed25519 public key from the SPKI cert and formats as ed25519:<hex>, matching iroh. The same key has the same fingerprint regardless of transport. X.509 fingerprints stay as SHA256:<hex of DER>. This also simplifies the coming WebTransport relay work. 3. The 'API keys' section is replaced with 'Bearer tokens' — correctly framing the three auth types and the two bearer-token paths (PeerEntry.auth_token_hash vs ApiKeyEntry). Resolve OQ-29 (CallClient TLS client-auth): wire quinn client-auth (present Ed25519 key as raw public key client cert — the server-side extraction already works); key-type-aware server cert verification (raw key = fingerprint match, X.509 = CA verification via WebPkiServerVerifier — AcceptAnyServerCertVerifier is only safe for raw keys); fingerprint normalization. The iroh path already works (RFC 7250 raw keys, both sides exchange automatically); the gap was quinn-only. Dissolve OQ-35: the 'API key asymmetry' framing was wrong. PeerEntry supports multiple credential paths; ApiKeyEntry is for tokens that ARE the identity. Add OQ-37: X.509 outgoing-only case — the three auth types and how X.509 server identity fits the peer model. Not blocking the ADR-029 migration; downstream (HTTP crate phase). Update auth.md, config.md, client-and-adapters.md, call/README.md, core/README.md, open-questions.md, README.md, and call_client.rs source comment. Workspace green: 326 tests pass, build clean. |

docs(arch): resolve call-crate OQs, promote OQ-29 to load-bearing on ADR-030
Resolve the call-crate open questions where the decision is made — OQ-27 (auto-re-import), OQ-28 (same-peer collision = error), OQ-30 (PeerRef::Any insertion-order first-match), OQ-31 (services/list-peers opt-in). These were previously marked 'open' with 'v1' hedging language despite having a decided default. What remains (refresh(), richer routing, services/list-peers the op) is genuine feature addition, not unmade architecture. Reframe OQ-32 (multi-hop) as a feature extension rather than a 'v1' deferral — the one-hop model is the architectural commitment; extending to multi-hop doesn't break downstream. Promote OQ-29 (CallClient TLS client-auth) from medium to high priority and surface its real interaction with ADR-030. Previously framed as 'additive — two-way-door remainder,' but ADR-030's PeerEntry fingerprint → peer_id resolution requires the client to present a TLS client cert. With with_no_client_auth(), no fingerprint is extracted, the PeerEntry path is dormant, and PeerCompositeEnv keys on None or the API-key prefix instead of the stable peer_id. This is the activation path for ADR-030's primary use case, not an additive feature. Three options laid out: (a) wire client-auth with the ADR-029 migration, (b) ship token-only and switch later (the 'compounds into a mess' path), (c) extend PeerEntry to cover auth_token-based identity. Requires a decision before the migration lands. Clarify OQ-36 (concrete adapter shapes): the trait shapes and in-memory adapters ship with core — the deferral is only for the persistence adapters (SQLite, etc.). The in-memory adapters are real implementations of a full repo pattern, not stubs. Update call_client.rs source comment to reference OQ-29 instead of the 'v1' / 'two-way-door remainder' framing. Workspace green: 326 tests pass, build clean. |

Land the storage and auth strategy research (findings.md) as four accepted ADRs and amend the core and call specs to match: - ADR-030: PeerEntry and Identity.id decoupling. Replaces authorized_fingerprints with peers: Vec<PeerEntry>; Identity.id becomes the stable peer_id, decoupled from the rotating fingerprint. Supersedes ADR-029 Assumption 1's UUID source (one-way door preserved, source changes). Resolves OQ-33 and the storage-boundary half of OQ-34. Records the API-key asymmetry as deliberate (OQ-35). - ADR-031: CredentialStore repo trait + InMemoryCredentialStore default adapter in core. Second repo trait alongside IdentityProvider. Vault encrypts; the store persists the EncryptedData blob; assembly layer loads into Capabilities. EncryptedData core mirror includes salt for wire-format compat. - ADR-032: Forwarded-for identity. forwarded_for field on call.requested and OperationContext — metadata only, never read by AccessControl::check (enforced structurally via the check signature). The from_call handler populates it. Wire-format one-way door, folded into the ADR-029 migration window. - ADR-033: Storage boundary and repo/adapter pattern. Core defines repo traits + in-memory defaults; persistence adapters are separate crates; assembly layer wires. Resolves OQ-34. Concrete adapter shapes deferred for exploration (OQ-36). Amends auth.md, config.md, operation-registry.md, client-and-adapters.md, open-questions.md, README.md, crates/core/README.md.

docs(arch): resolve OQ-26 (AdapterError variants) + OQ-33 (PeerId = logical id) + OQ-34 (persistent peer registry)
OQ-26 (resolved): AdapterError variants decided — DiscoveryFailed, SchemaParse, Transport, Unauthorized, SamePeerCollision (replaces flat Conflict per ADR-029 §5). #[non_exhaustive] for downstream extension. Two-way door; the initial set is the code's return type. OQ-33 (resolved): PeerId is a logical identifier, NOT Identity.id. The research's v1 default (PeerId = fingerprint) is overridden: coupling PeerId to crypto material breaks every in-flight PeerRef::Specific and every ACL entry on key rotation. v1 source is a connection-assigned UUID — a no-storage workaround that works for the immediate use case (head→workers, reconnect produces fresh PeerRef, in-flight gets NOT_FOUND which is correct). The one-way door: PeerId is logical, not crypto — this determines PeerCompositeEnv key type and PeerRef::Specific payload. The id source (UUID vs configured name vs peer registry) is the two-way-door remainder. OQ-34 (new): the storage dimension OQ-33 surfaced. The core crates are deliberately DB-free (smaller, fewer deps, simpler testing) — this served local-only state (vault, registry) well, but peer identity is the first cross-node state that wants persistence. The real solution (a persistent peer registry mapping stable logical name → current crypto material, surviving key rotation) is not a v1 blocker (UUID works), but tracked so the no-DB posture's limit is deliberate, not accidental. The storage boundary (core gets a PeerRegistry trait vs stays storage-free) is the one-way door; the backend choice is two-way. Key-rotation/ACL note: decoupling PeerId from crypto keeps the door open for ACL entries that persist across key rotation — when the peer registry is built, ACLs key on the logical name and key rotation becomes vault-only with no remote-side ACL update. |

docs(arch): ADR-029 peer-graph routing model — supersedes ADR-028
ADR-028's remote_safe/trusted_peer was a parallel, weaker authorization system
that duplicated the existing AccessControl/Identity machinery and couldn't
express the head→N-workers pattern (the primary use case). The flat-namespace
single-peer overlay model (one connection layer in CompositeOperationEnv)
structurally breaks the moment a head has two workers both exposing
/container/exec.
ADR-029 replaces it with:
- Peer-keyed overlays: PeerCompositeEnv { connections: HashMap<PeerId, ...> }
replaces CompositeOperationEnv's singular connection layer. A head node
routes invoke_peer() to the right peer via PeerRef::Specific / PeerRef::Any.
- AccessControl-based peer authorization: the existing AccessControl::check
(peer_identity) gates peer calls — the same mechanism that gates every other
call. remote_safe/trusted_peer/RemoteFilter/list_operations_peer_scoped/
services_list_handler_peer_scoped are retired. The op's AccessControl IS the
peer-authorization policy; no parallel system.
- ScopedPeerEnv: peer-qualified reachability (peer-pinned allowlist) replaces
from_call's namespace_prefix as the disambiguation mechanism. Cross-peer
collision dissolves (separate sub-overlays); same-peer collision stays error.
- services/list-peers opt-in for peer-attributed re-export listing.
POC-validated against real types (scratch module written, type-checked,
removed; build clean, 207 tests pass). Petgraph not needed for v1 (one-hop,
shallow); nested HashMap suffices; extends to multi-hop without redesign (OQ-32).
OQ impact: OQ-25 dissolved (no marking); OQ-28 cross-peer dissolved / same-peer
stays; OQ-26/27/29 stay; new OQ-30 (Any routing policy), OQ-31 (list-peers
semantics), OQ-32 (multi-hop federation).
Research: docs/research/alknet-call-peer-routing/findings.md (POC shapes,
prior art — Ray.io actors, Dapr service invocation, full ADR draft).

docs(arch): sync call-completion specs with implementation — Dispatcher/RemoteFilter, ClientError, OQ-29
Post-implementation spec sync after the call-completion batch landed (commits e4a2594..a3825f5). The sub-agent review flagged no spec drift, but comparing the implemented types against the spec sketches surfaced five details the specs didn't name — filled in here so the spec matches what was built: - client-and-adapters.md: name the shared Dispatcher (protocol/dispatch.rs) + RemoteFilter mechanism that enforces ADR-028's default-deny at dispatch time (the load-bearing security gate — checks remote_safe before building context, before any capability material reaches the handler). Add ClientError/RemoteIdentity types, the spawn_dispatch lower-level API, and the services_list_handler_peer_scoped wiring (the assembly layer must register the peer-scoped services/list handler for a CallClient's registry, not the plain one). Record the v1 TLS client-auth gap (AcceptAnyServerCertVerifier, with_no_client_auth) as OQ-29. - call-protocol.md: point the adapter dispatch-loop description at the shared Dispatcher (dispatch.rs) so readers find the mechanism ADR-017 §1 commits to. - open-questions.md: OQ-29 — CallClient TLS client-auth + remote-identity verification is a two-way-door remainder; the no-env-vars invariant is unaffected (auth_token flows via call-protocol payload, not TLS). - READMEs: current-state now reflects completion done + reviewed (207 lib + 2 integration tests); OQ-29 added to both OQ summaries. |

Keeps call-protocol.md and operation-registry.md under the 700-line split threshold. - ADR-017 amended: records DC-2/3/4 v1 defaults (auto-on-reconnect, error-on-collision, Result error type) and points DC-1 at ADR-028. - OQ-25..28 (new): two-way-door remainders (remote_safe shape, AdapterError variants, re-import trigger, namespace collision) with v1 defaults recorded. - Index/cross-ref updates across READMEs and the two existing call specs. Tasks: 6 task files under tasks/call/ decomposing the completion work along the gap-analysis priority order — remote-safe-marking (one-way door, first) → call-client (phase-risk) → from-call → operation-adapter-trait → from-jsonschema (parallel with call-client) → review-completion. Graph validated with taskgraph; parallelism designed in (from-jsonschema runs concurrent with call-client/from-call once the trait lands). |

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. |

docs(vault): remove drift tracking artifacts, bump vault docs to stable
The vault spec-to-implementation sync is complete. Remove the drift tracking tools that were only needed during sync: - Remove the Known Source Drift table from vault/README.md - Remove 'known drift' / 'current source uses X' prose from Security Constraints sections in vault/README.md, encryption.md, and service.md. The permanent constraint statements (OsRng for IVs, zeroized drop, no unwrap, etc.) are preserved. - Remove the drift paragraph in encryption.md Key Versioning. - Remove stale 'to be updated per ADR-025' / 'postcard tests to be removed' notes in protocol.md References. - Bump status: draft -> stable in the frontmatter of all vault docs (README, mnemonic-derivation, encryption, service, protocol). - Update architecture/README.md: vault doc status entries to stable, Current State paragraph reflects vault implementation complete (no 'pending ADR-025/026 refactor' language). |

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. |

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. |

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). |

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. |

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

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)

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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-11 (handler-level auth observability): Option B — handlers store resolved identity on Connection via set_identity. Two identity scopes: connection-level (observability, write-once-read-many) and per-request (ACL, on OperationContext). Per-request takes precedence for ACL; connection-level is for logging/audit only. OQ-19 (session-scoped registries): Protocol doesn't need changes. OperationEnv must remain a trait (not concrete) to enable session-overlay pattern. Three-tier registry: core (static, External+Internal), session (dynamic, Internal-only), promotion (curated review). Documented as implementation guard in operation-registry.md. All 19 open questions are now resolved. No open one-way or two-way doors remain.
