glm-5.2 762d9c7bd2 docs(architecture): remove removed-thing remnants from spec docs
Spec docs should describe WHAT IS, not WHAT WAS. ADRs and OQ files are
historical records by design and are left alone; the ADR-index Status
column records ADR status (stable fact). What changed in the specs:

- API code blocks no longer list removed methods. ChannelClient::connect_quic
  (channel-client.md) and CallClient::connect (client-and-adapters.md) are
  gone from the impl blocks; surrounding prose describes the current
  from_connection / spawn_dispatch primary + AlknetClient dial shape.
- Amendment (ADR-093): stream_types field is removed blockquotes dropped
  from channel-client.md and channel-operations.md (the code already
  reflects the current state).
- Historical is-removed / reversed-by / amended-by prose rewritten to
  current state across channels crate, call crate, hub, tls, core,
  endpoint, client READMEs, and the top-level README/overview.
- Dropped the EndpointError — removed subsection from endpoint/README.md
  (the type doesn't exist anymore, so it shouldn't have a subsection).
- Replaced stale connect() references in flow descriptions with the dial
  (in AlknetClient) since connect() is no longer a method.
- Removed strikethrough ADR-028 / from_jsonschema-clause rows from
  client-and-adapters.md and operation-registry.md ADR tables.
- Rewrote the ADR-066 update blockquote in operation-registry.md to
  describe FromJsonSchema's current shape.

glm-5.2 3b10fc1817 refactor(core,tls,client): align ConnectionCredentials field name with ADR-091 (tls_identity -> local_identity)
ADR-091 decided `ConnectionCredentials.local_identity`; the code implemented
`tls_identity` (tasks/core/connection-credentials.md deferred the rename as
"path of least resistance" during the extraction). The tangle that made the
rename hard no longer exists, so align the code with the decision.

Scope is the `ConnectionCredentials` field + builder only:
- alknet-core/credentials.rs: field, with_local_identity, doc, test
- alknet-tls/client.rs: field access in TlsClientConfig::new, test builders, docs
- alknet-client/dial/quinn.rs: test builder

NOT renamed (distinct concepts sharing the words):
- StaticConfig.tls_identity (server-side static config; ADR-082/027/083)
- TlsIdentity enum type name
- alknet-tls server fn params named tls_identity (&TlsIdentity value)

Also fixes dial_iroh.rs doc comments that claimed the local key is extracted
from creds.local_identity — the key is actually on the pre-built iroh endpoint
(set at with_iroh time); the dial reads only creds.remote_identity and ignores
creds.local_identity (per client/README.md §iroh).

Architecture specs updated to match (call/client-and-adapters.md, tls/README.md,
client/README.md). Historical ADR context describing the old CallCredentials
field stays as-is; tasks/ and docs/research/ are historical artifacts.

Resolves follow-up #2 from the post-extraction spec sync (c6eef73).

glm-5.2 c6eef730e4 docs(architecture): sync specs to post-extraction state (phases 0-5)
The crate-extraction migration (phases 0-5) is complete in the code;
the specs still carried forward/migration framing ("was welded",
"after the refactor", "currently duplicated", "does not exist yet",
"What moves from X to Y" tables, "Implementation ordering") that
described the migration rather than the resulting state. Updated 10
spec files to describe the current state cleanly.

Spec/code mismatches fixed:
- core/README.md: a stale paragraph said CallCredentials "stays in
  alknet-call" while ADR-091 Am. 2026-07-17 removed it. Now consistent.
- tls/README.md: TlsClientConfig API described a planned
  ClientVerifierContext + for_tcp_tls(&self) + rustls_config(&self);
  the actual code is new(&ConnectionCredentials, alpn) +
  for_quinn(self) + into_rustls_config(self). Updated to match.
- client/README.md, call/client-and-adapters.md: ConnectionCredentials
  field is tls_identity / with_tls_identity in the code, not
  local_identity / with_local_identity. Updated the specs describing
  the current API (ADR-091 body keeps local_identity as the decided
  name).
- client/README.md: dial_iroh description said the local key is
  "extracted from creds.local_identity" — the code uses the pre-built
  iroh endpoint's key (set at with_iroh time) and reads only
  creds.remote_identity for the NodeId. Fixed.
- overview.md: said core has "no quinn/iroh deps" — core keeps
  quinn/iroh for Connection::from_quinn/from_iroh. Fixed.
- call/client-and-adapters.md: a /// doc-comment block and
  pub struct RemoteIdentity were floating outside any code fence
  (orphaned closing backticks). Fixed.
- tls/README.md: TlsError sketch shows the full ADR-088 6-variant
  enum; the code has a simplified 3-variant enum. Added an
  implementation note flagging the divergence; ADR-088 shape kept as
  target.
- call/README.md: review note said "ADR-029 migration pending" (stale
  — migration landed). Updated to reflect phase 5 completion (pure
  protocol crate, no TLS/transport deps, verified against Cargo.toml).

Migration framing removed (present-state descriptions instead):
- tls/README.md: "What moves from" tables -> module-contents tables;
  "Implementation ordering / greenfield" section removed; "after the
  refactor" section -> "What AlknetEndpoint does"; references to
  extraction-source files (alknet-core/src/endpoint.rs,
  alknet-call/src/client/call_client.rs) replaced with current file
  locations (alknet-tls/src/{server,client,pem,signing}.rs).
- endpoint/README.md: "was two things welded" framing removed;
  "after the extraction" section -> "What alknet-core looks like".
- core/endpoint.md: "Historical summary" section removed; clean
  deprecation pointer.
- README.md, overview.md, open-questions.md: dates + present-tense
  cleanup.

deepseek-v4-pro e91d943857 docs: remove CallCredentials — dead field, dead from_call path, auth_token is per-request payload
ADR-091 amended 2026-07-17: CallCredentials removed (not retained in
alknet-call). Trace showed CallCredentials.auth_token had no reader
(connect() read only tls_identity + remote_identity; spawn_dispatch
takes no credentials; from_call's credentials_auth_token was a
different type, always None, never connected). auth_token is a
per-request payload field — browsers send it in the WS payload; the
HTTP gateway resolves bearer → Identity at its boundary.

from_call's credentials_auth_token dead path removed in the same pass
(OpSummary field, handler params, build_forwarded_payload param, and
the two tests asserting the never-exercised Some path).

ADR-089 §5 further amended, ADR-080 noted, all spec READMEs and
overview updated. Migration plan (findings.md) corrected: Phase 5
prune now includes CallCredentials removal + from_call dead-path
removal; test audit corrected (4 unchanged + 2 move to core, not 6
unchanged); integration-test split documented; all 'or' hedges
resolved.

glm-5.2 613bf680cd docs(arch): ConnectionCredentials decouples dial from call protocol (ADR-091) + migration plan cleanups
ADR-091: ConnectionCredentials — decouple the dial credential bundle
from the call protocol. CallCredentials (call-protocol-level, carries
auth_token) was being used as the dial's credential type, coupling the
dial to the call protocol. The auth_token is a hub-layer identity
correlation mechanism (browsers, alknet/register), not a transport
credential. ConnectionCredentials (transport-level: local_identity +
remote_identity) is the dial's credential bundle; all three dial
signatures unify on &ConnectionCredentials; dial_iroh's node_id
parameter is derived from remote_identity.fingerprint. CallCredentials
stays in alknet-call with auth_token. The shape is validated by the
future dial_ssh pattern (russh's check_server_key + authenticate_publickey
consume the same two dimensions).

Amends ADR-089 §3 (dial signatures) and §5 (move consequence), ADR-087
(input framing). Updates client/tls/call/core crate specs and the
extraction plan's Phase 0/3/4/5.

Migration plan cleanups (findings.md):
- Remove duplicated ordering-rationale bullets (copy-paste artifact)
- TL;DR: six phases -> seven (Phase 0 promoted); four compilable
  intermediate states -> each phase leaves workspace compilable
- Remove inline 'Wait — that's 10, not 8' self-correction; fix
  Category B header to (10 tests)
- Replace contradictory line ranges in Net Phase 5 test impact with
  name-based references
- Decide quinn feature fate: removed (not no-op)
- Note webpki-roots always-present per ADR-088 §5 in Phase 1 dep list

glm-5.2 bf6ce957c0 docs(arch): tighten tls/endpoint/client specs — remove connect/connect_quic, move CallCredentials to core, shed alknet-call TLS deps
Review of the three new crates (alknet-tls, alknet-endpoint, alknet-client)
+ revised core found compile-blocking inconsistencies, stale claims, and
dep-graph contradictions. All resolved:

Critical:
- C1: CallClient::connect / ChannelClient::connect_quic REMOVED (not
  delegated) — keeping them as thin wrappers over AlknetClient::dial_quic
  would make protocol crates depend on alknet-client, contradicting the
  dep graph. Callers compose dial + take-over (2 lines).
- C2: alknet-client feature gates now pull alknet-core/quinn +
  alknet-core/iroh (for Connection::from_quinn_with_alpn / from_iroh).
- C3: rustls-native-certs + webpki-roots added to alknet-tls deps
  (always-present, not feature-gated — CA-verify path is transport-agnostic).

Warning:
- W1: CallCredentials/RemoteIdentity moved to alknet-core (from
  alknet-call) — the dial must not depend on the call protocol; not a
  two-way-door, it determines the dep graph.
- W2: webpki-roots fallback implemented in spec (ADR-088 §5 added) —
  the code claimed a fallback that never existed; now the store is never
  empty, NoRootAnchors unreachable, containerized deployments work.
- W3: EndpointError removed entirely (BindFailed + HandlerNotFound both
  vestigial after ADR-083); shutdown() is now infallible.
- W4: FingerprintPinVerifier moved to alknet-tls (from alknet-call) —
  alknet-call sheds quinn/rustls/rustls-pemfile/rustls-native-certs
  entirely; CallClient becomes a pure protocol crate.

Plus: ClientError removed (only produced by removed connect); S1
(CallCredentials → ClientVerifierContext mapping + auth_token stripped
at TLS boundary documented); amendment notes on ADR-017, ADR-069,
ADR-080, ADR-082, ADR-087, ADR-090; overview crate graph + README index
updated.

glm-5.2 ce7de57973 docs(arch): AlknetClient native dial seam — resolves OQ-55 (ADR-089)
Extract the deferred AlknetClient as a new crate alknet-client — the
client-side analogue of AlknetEndpoint. Three dial methods (QUIC +
TCP+TLS via TlsClientConfig, iroh via key) produce a Connection for
CallClient::spawn_dispatch / ChannelClient::from_connection to consume.
The deferral collapsed because ADR-086 gave the native endpoint type
three dial shapes within one endpoint type, ADR-087 broke the circular
hedge, and ADR-083 gave the server-side shape to mirror by symmetry.

Names the three concept layers that were tangled throughout the initial
development (deployment role / establishment side / ALPN-level category)
so the fix is legible. Names alknet/register as a dialable entry-point
ALPN (native registration, parallel to HTTP registration in OQ-58); its
wire protocol is deferred to OQ-66 (blocked on OQ-58's token model).

Cross-references updated across 11 existing docs (README, overview,
open-questions, OQ-55, tls, hub, core, channels README/overview/
channel-client, call client-and-adapters) to reflect OQ-55 resolved and
the new alknet-client crate. Architecture review passed (2 critical, 7
warnings — all addressed).

glm-5.2 b0cc0a01b7 docs(arch): unweld CallClient from QUIC — spawn_dispatch primary, connect convenience (ADR-017 Am. 2026-07-13)
Same fix as ADR-080 (ChannelClient) applied to the call crate. The
existing code already had the right structure — spawn_dispatch is not
feature-gated (transport-agnostic), connect is #[cfg(feature = "quinn")]
— but the docs inverted the framing: connect was 'primary,' spawn_dispatch
was 'lower-level.' That welding masked the call protocol's
transport-agnosticism (ADR-012 EventEnvelope; ADR-065 from_stream/from_bidi
accept any AsyncRead + AsyncWrite).

Changes:
- client-and-adapters.md: reframe spawn_dispatch as the transport-
  agnostic primary constructor (one-way door), connect as the QUIC
  convenience (two-way door, feature-gated on quinn). Mirror the
  from_connection / connect_quic pattern from ADR-080/channel-client.md.
  Fix all 'QUIC-backed' / 'over QUIC' / 'opens a QUIC connection' framing
  to be transport-agnostic. Fix from_call description, adapter location
  map, exchange-of-operations example, Constraints section.
- call-protocol.md: 'runs over QUIC bidirectional streams' → 'runs over
  any ordered, reliable bidirectional stream.' Fix stream model, stream
  lifecycle (connection drop / stream reset now list all transports,
  not just QUIC). Fix CallConnection.connection doc comment.
- operation-registry.md: FromCall provenance comment 'QUIC forwarding
  stub' → 'call-protocol forwarding stub.' Fix from_call description.
- call README.md: fix client-and-adapters.md description, fix design
  principle #11 framing.
- ADR-017: add Amendment (2026-07-13) documenting the spawn_dispatch /
  connect reframe, mirroring ADR-080's amendment.
- overview.md, architecture README: update ADR-017 and
  client-and-adapters.md table summaries.
- OQ-015, OQ-007: fix 'opens QUIC connections' / 'bidirectional QUIC
  streams' framing in resolution text.

No code changes — spawn_dispatch and connect already exist with the
right feature-gate structure. This is a documentation reframe.

glm-5.2 87b2c2a5ef 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).

glm-5.2 97456bc608 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

glm-5.2 2aa6363e57 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).

See docs/research/transport-generalization/findings.md for the full trace.

glm-5.2 ad167aa470 docs(arch): update core/call specs for ADR-050 — ownership provider + resource_id_path
operation-registry.md:
- OperationSpec gains resource_id_path: Option<String> (JSON pointer
  into the input for runtime-spawned resource ID extraction)
- AccessControl::check signature updated: consults an OwnershipProvider
  for dynamic resource ownership; falls back to static Identity.resources
  when no provider is wired (backward compatible)
- Dispatch flow updated: step 3 extracts resource_id via
  spec.resource_id_path before the ACL check
- Added composition + dynamic ownership interaction (ADR-050 §4d):
  two orthogonal checks, ADR-015/022 unchanged
- Design Decisions table + Open Questions + References updated

auth.md:
- New 'Ownership Provider and Store (ADR-050)' section: OwnershipProvider
  (sync read trait) + OwnershipStore (async write trait) + InMemoryOwnershipStore
  default adapter; fourth instance of the repo/adapter pattern (ADR-033)
- How it integrates with AccessControl::check
- Access pattern: proxy-only (spawner owns, proxy to share, teardown
  revokes; no grant mechanism in core)
- Per-node ownership (no cross-node propagation in the base model)
- Resource-scoped ACLs table gains the dynamic ownership path
- Design Decisions table + Open Questions updated

glm-5.2 7ecc11610a 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).

glm-5.2 b71db99753 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.
2026-06-30 12:27:00 +00:00
glm-5.2 2a6e4c371a 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.

glm-5.2 0de2cebb1d 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.

glm-5.2 6cc8715ccf 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.

glm-5.2 7d812af8f4 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.

glm-5.2 1d94aaea51 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.

glm-5.2 f224ea998c docs(arch): ADR-030..033 — repo/adapter pattern, PeerEntry, CredentialStore, forwarded-for
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. Marks ADR-029
Accepted (Assumption 1 carries the ADR-030 superseded note). Marks the
research findings doc reviewed.

glm-5.2 99c6dd9483 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.

glm-5.2 77eb35a8a5 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).
ADR-028 marked Superseded; ADR-017 DC-1 amendment updated to point at ADR-029.

glm-5.2 f9c0ab092b 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.
2026-06-26 13:42:42 +00:00
glm-5.2 2649e068e5 docs(arch): call-completion — ADR-028 peer-scoped filtering + client-and-adapters spec + tasks
Resolves the four gap-analysis decisions (DC-1..4) blocking the alknet-call
client/adapter surface specced in ADR-017:

- ADR-028 (new): locks the one-way door for DC-1 — CallClient registry is
  default-deny (remote_safe: bool on HandlerRegistration, default false across
  all provenance); share-global is an explicit trusted-peer opt-in; filtering
  is a dispatch-time read over the single Layer-0 registry, not a copy.
- client-and-adapters.md (new spec): operationally fills the gap ADR-017 left
  to implementation — CallClient, from_call, from_jsonschema, OperationAdapter
  trait, adapter location map, no-env-vars invariant, exchange-of-operations
  pattern. 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).

glm-5.2 23b76a240a docs(call): record review-call pass — implementation conforms to registry/protocol/ADR spec
call/review-call verified the alknet-call crate against operation-registry.md,

registry types, protocol types, security constraints (Capabilities
non-serializable/zeroized/immutable, metadata non-propagation, internal
ops -> NOT_FOUND, reachability bounds, UUID v4 request IDs), and pattern
consistency (OperationEnv trait, CompositeOperationEnv contains-probe,
authority switch, deadline inheritance) are conformant. 159 tests green;
build/clippy(fmt check) clean. No source changes required.

glm-5.2 2e34590522 docs(architecture): resolve review #003 — type/API surface completeness
Review #003 found 11 critical, 14 warning, and 6 suggestion findings
after reviews #001 (governance/security) and #002 (cross-document
consistency/two-way-door audit) were resolved. The theme: types and
APIs that were *referenced* but never *defined*, and stale ADR sketches
that didn't match the now-updated spec docs.

Critical fixes (11):

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

Warning fixes (14):

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

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

glm-5.2 cb98f42cd4 docs(architecture): resolve review #002 remaining Tier 4 findings
Add ADR-026 (vault key model — HD derivation) recording the foundational
HD-derivation decision, 74' coin type reservation, SLIP-0010/Ed25519
default, secp256k1 feature-gating, and AES-256-GCM cipher choice. These
were previously inline rationale with no ADR (W9).

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

Resolve the remaining guard clauses and spec decisions:

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

glm-5.2 7dda6eec68 docs(architecture): add ADR-025 — vault local-only dispatch, drop irpc
Drops irpc from alknet-vault entirely. The vault's dispatch is now direct
method calls on VaultServiceHandle — no VaultProtocol enum, no
VaultMessage, no VaultServiceActor, no mpsc channel, no Service trait, no
RemoteService trait, no postcard serialization. The vault is local-only by
construction.

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

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

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

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

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

glm-5.2 cdf340bec7 docs(architecture): add ADR-024 — operation registry layering, resolve C6
Diagnoses a conflation in the pre-ADR-024 spec: the OperationRegistry
inherited immutability by analogy from ADR-010's HandlerRegistry (ALPN-level),
but the TLS-config argument that justifies HandlerRegistry immutability does
not apply to the operation registry, which lives behind a single ALPN
(alknet/call). This made from_call (which discovers ops over a live connection
at runtime) structurally incompatible with the blanket immutability claim.

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

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

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

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

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

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

glm-5.2 c62a6adc7b docs(architecture): resolve review #002 Tiers 1-3 — mechanical and consistency fixes
Governance (Tier 2):
- Advance ADR-022 and ADR-023 from Proposed to Accepted (specs already
  depend on their types as source of truth)
- Amend ADR-015: mark Decision 3 and Assumption 6 as superseded by ADR-022;
  update handler_identity type to CompositionAuthority
- Amend ADR-002: note handle() signature revised by ADR-007 (BiStream → Connection)
- Amend ADR-004: note 'enrich/replace' AuthContext language superseded by
  ADR-011's immutability model; update to describe set_identity on Connection
- Update main README ADR table to show ADR-022/023 as Accepted

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

Mechanical fixes (Tier 1):
- overview.md: 'closes the QUIC stream' → 'closes the connection' (stale
  from pre-ADR-007 model)
- overview.md: OQ-04 entry updated from stale 'defer to implementation'
  to 'resolved: static at startup'
- mnemonic-derivation.md: remove duplicate helper functions block (incomplete
  first copy, complete second copy)
- ADR-003: add iroh (feature-gated) to alknet-core dependency list, added
  by ADR-010
- ADR-021: fix ambiguous 'W1 drift issue from the vault review' cross-reference
- ADR-022: rephrase FromCall 'leaf locally' to 'leaf in the local registry'
- ADR-017: add error_schemas to from_call mirror list and services/schema
  step (inconsistency with ADR-023)
- ADR-016: fix self-referential citation ('ADR-016 Assumption 5' → 'Assumption 5')
- Add ScopedOperationEnv::empty(), allows(), new() and
  CompositionAuthority::none(), new() impl blocks (referenced but undefined)
- Add call.completed clarification for non-subscription calls
- Add services/schema leading-slash normalization note
- Crate README ADR tables: add missing ADR-013 (call), ADR-015 (core),
  ADR-006 + ADR-010 (vault)
- Vault README: add consolidated 'Known Source Drift' table tracking all
  four drift items (OsRng, unwrap, CURRENT_KEY_VERSION, spawn bug) in one
  place, including the two previously missing from README

glm-5.2 6a7f8f91ad docs(architecture): resolve S1 — abort policy on OperationContext, not wire
ADR-016 Decision 6 specifies that the abort policy (abort-dependents vs
continue-running) is set on OperationContext and propagated through
OperationEnv::invoke() — the composing handler decides the child's
policy, not the wire caller. The call.requested payload does not carry
an abort policy field. This resolves the TBD that was masquerading as a
two-way door: two of the three options ADR-016 floated (wire payload,
per-operation declaration) were inconsistent with the ADR's own
assumptions.

Also marks review #001 as resolved — all 5 critical, 4 warning, and 4
suggestion findings are now addressed.
2026-06-21 10:34:12 +00:00
glm-5.2 3e238a471b docs(architecture): add ADR-023, resolve OQ-24 — operation error schemas
ADR-023 adds error_schemas to OperationSpec so operations can declare
their domain-level failure modes (FILE_NOT_FOUND, RATE_LIMITED, etc.)
distinct from protocol-level codes (NOT_FOUND, FORBIDDEN, etc.). The
call.error payload gains an optional 'details' field carrying the typed
error payload conforming to the declared schema. from_openapi/to_openapi
map OpenAPI response status codes to/from ErrorDefinitions, making the
adapter contract from ADR-017 faithful on the error axis.

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

Spec updates: operation-registry.md (OperationSpec, ErrorDefinition,
Handler error mapping, services/schema), call-protocol.md (call.error
payload, CallError, ResponseEnvelope), README.md, overview.md,
open-questions.md (OQ-24), call/README.md, encryption.md, service.md.
2026-06-21 10:26:18 +00:00
glm-5.2 1cedc4eeba docs(architecture): add ADR-022, resolve OQ-23 — handler registration, provenance, and composition authority
ADR-022 wires the three controls ADR-015 specified but left without
registration paths (C1-C4 from review #001): composition authority,
scoped env, and capabilities now enter through a HandlerRegistration
bundle. Provenance (Local, FromOpenAPI, FromMCP, FromCall, Session)
determines which ops can compose — leaves don't get composition
authority. CompositionAuthority replaces handler_identity: Identity
(it's a declared authority bundle, not a peer identity). Capabilities
are per-request from the bundle (resolves closure-capture vs context
ambiguity). Kernel/user analogy: user's authority checked at External
gate; handler's composition authority used inside; scoped env bounds
reachability.

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

Spec updates: operation-registry.md (OperationRegistry,
HandlerRegistration, OperationContext, OperationEnv, registration
example, capability injection), call-protocol.md (build_root_context),
README.md, overview.md, open-questions.md (OQ-23), call/README.md.
2026-06-21 09:09:47 +00:00
glm-5.2 40f6468e18 docs(architecture): fix spec/ADR inconsistencies from pre-decomposition review
Critical:
- operation-registry: remove stale duplicate OperationEnv impl that
  propagated parent.metadata through composition (violated ADR-014);
  collapse to one canonical block with metadata: HashMap::new()
- operation-registry: fix request_id collision — format!("env-{name}")
  produced identical IDs across concurrent invocations, corrupting
  PendingRequestMap correlation and the abort-cascade tree (ADR-016)
- operation-registry + ADR-015: fix OperationContext.internal visibility —
  pub field let handlers mark their own call internal (privilege
  escalation per ADR-015); change to pub(crate) with pub fn is_internal

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

Suggestions:
- operation-registry: cross-reference ResponseEnvelope definition
- core-types: add StreamError to HandlerError mapping table
2026-06-19 09:13:10 +00:00
glm-5.2 400c60e7f4 docs(architecture): security constraints from security review
Address security review findings by adding explicit constraints to specs
and implementation specialist role:

Architectural constraints (spec updates):
- metadata does not propagate through OperationEnv::invoke() — fresh
  HashMap for nested calls, closes the back-door leak channel where a
  handler that puts a secret in metadata would leak it to children and
  across from_call to remote nodes (ADR-014)
- Config reload must be authenticated/local-only — malicious reload =
  root-equivalent privilege grant (config.md)
- from_call trust is transitive — scoped env bounds reachability, not
  what the remote op does (operation-registry.md)
- Token entropy ≥128 bits — prefix is lookup aid not secret, offline
  hash verification requires high-entropy tokens (auth.md)

Implementation constraints (auth.md security constraints section + role spec):
- OsRng for cryptographic nonces (AES-GCM IV reuse is catastrophic)
- CachedKey derives Zeroize/ZeroizeOnDrop (no secrets in freed heap)
- No unwrap()/expect() outside tests (poisoned lock recovery, not crash)
- Implementation specialist role spec updated with all four constraints
2026-06-19 06:55:54 +00:00
glm-5.2 c0a322ac29 docs(architecture): resolve OQ-11 and OQ-19 — all open questions resolved
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. The architecture is ready for review and implementation.

glm-5.2 8f19eb8861 docs(architecture): add ADR-017 call protocol client and adapter contract, resolve OQ-15
ADR-017 locks the client/adapter architecture:
- CallClient opens QUIC connections, shares dispatch loop with CallAdapter
- Connection direction independent of call direction (both sides can call)
- from_call adapter: discovers remote ops via services/list + services/schema,
  registers with forwarding handlers (same pattern as from_openapi/from_mcp)
- to_openapi/to_mcp: project local ops to external protocols
- OperationAdapter trait: produces (OperationSpec, Handler) pairs
- Cross-node call tree: abort cascade propagates through from_call handlers
- Credentials from capabilities (ADR-014), adapter ops Internal by default (ADR-015)

The dispatch POC at /workspace/@alkdev/dispatch demonstrated head/worker over
SSH+axum; under the call protocol it's cross-node composition via from_call.
Connection topology (who advertises, who opens) is independent of call
direction — runner pattern, dispatch pattern, and P2P all work.
2026-06-18 10:57:29 +00:00
glm-5.2 e2730869ca docs(architecture): add ADR-016 abort cascade for nested calls, resolve OQ-17
ADR-016 locks the abort cascade model:
- call.aborted cascades to all non-terminal descendants via parent_request_id
- Default policy: abort-dependents (abort everything downstream)
- Opt-in: continue-running (started descendants continue, pending ones abort)
- Server (CallAdapter) discovers descendants and propagates; client sends one abort
- Handlers clean up via Rust async drop semantics (Drop guards)
- parent_indexed map suffices for tree walking; flowgraph is optional prior art

Spec updates:
- call-protocol.md abort cascade section references ADR-016
- OQ-17 resolved, ADR-016 referenced across all call crate specs
- README.md updated: ADRs 001-016, OQ-17 moved to resolved
2026-06-18 09:37:19 +00:00
glm-5.2 6285779c30 docs(architecture): add ADR-015 privilege model and authority context, resolve OQ-18
ADR-015 locks the call protocol's security model:
- internal flag switches authority context to handler identity, not skip ACL
- Operations have External/Internal visibility (Internal returns NOT_FOUND from wire, excluded from services/list)
- OperationContext carries both identity (caller/principal) and handler_identity (handler/agent)
- Scoped composition env bounds reachability (handler can only invoke declared operations)
- Three controls together: visibility (wire boundary) + handler identity (authority) + scoped env (reachability) = least privilege

Spec updates:
- OperationSpec gains Visibility field (External/Internal)
- OperationContext gains handler_identity field
- AccessControl section: ACL runs against caller identity for external, handler identity for internal
- LocalOperationEnv propagates handler_identity
- services/list only returns External operations
- Adapter-registered operations are Internal by default
- OQ-18 resolved, ADR-015 referenced across all call crate specs
2026-06-18 08:55:34 +00:00
glm-5.2 b4aadc6b93 docs(architecture): add OQ-19 session-scoped registries and agent-written operations
Document the three-tier registry model (core/session/promotion) and the
self-improving agent workflow where agents write their own operations in
a quickjs sandbox. The POC at /workspace/toolEnv demonstrated the sandbox
mechanism (quickjs in Deno web workers, proxy-based env bridge via
postMessage) but exposed the full registry to the sandbox — the security
gap that OQ-18's scoped composition env addresses.

The call protocol doesn't need changes: the OperationEnv trait is the
composition point, and a session-scoped env wraps the global env (session
registry first, fall through to global). The one-way door this OQ guards
against: making OperationEnv concrete instead of a trait, or hardcoding
the global registry into the dispatch path, would close the session-overlay
pattern. Session-scoped operations are always Internal, run under the
handler's identity, and are ephemeral. Promotion to core requires curation
review (architect role with promote scope).
2026-06-18 08:31:46 +00:00
glm-5.2 f27d717ac8 docs(architecture): reframe OQ-17 and OQ-18 as protocol-level concerns, not agent-specific
The abort cascade and privilege model are call protocol semantics that
every consumer inherits — NAPI adapter, Python adapter, agent service, and
any future service speaking the EventEnvelope wire format. Framing them as
'needs agent crate in view' let a single consumer's timeline gate a
protocol-level decision. The agent use case is a useful test case for edge
cases, but the decisions belong to the call protocol.
2026-06-18 07:47:57 +00:00
glm-5.2 fab2c88444 docs(architecture): rename trusted to internal, add OQ-17 abort cascade and OQ-18 privilege model
The 'trusted' flag on OperationContext was the wrong word — it implies a
trust decision was made, but what actually happens is the call originated
internally (from composition) not externally (from the wire). Renamed to
'internal' with clarified semantics: internal calls switch authority
context to the handler's identity, not skip ACL. This prevents the
privilege escalation vector where composition with 'trusted: true' bypassed
all access control (buggy handler + parameterized dispatch).

- Rename trusted -> internal across operation-registry.md, ADR-014
- Update OperationContext field description and LocalOperationEnv code
- Add OQ-17: abort cascade for nested calls (call.aborted cascades to
  descendants, default abort-dependents, continue-running opt-in). One-way
  door on the protocol event schema; mechanism is a two-way door.
- Add OQ-18: privilege model and authority context (internal = authority
  switch not ACL skip, External/Internal operation visibility, scoped
  composition env + handler identity). Needs agent crate in view.
- Add abort cascade section and constraint to call-protocol.md
- Update crates/call/README.md with OQ-17, OQ-18, and two new design principles
- Update architecture README.md with OQ-17, OQ-18
2026-06-18 07:38:33 +00:00
glm-5.2 6a7d4b9755 docs(architecture): add ADR-014 secret material flow, remove vault ops from call protocol
Resolve the contradiction between ADR-008's "capability source" model
and operation-registry.md showing vault operations on the wire. ADR-014
establishes: vault is assembly-layer only, capabilities carry outbound
credentials (distinct from inbound identity), call protocol carries no
secret material, adapters take credential sources not static tokens.

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

glm-5.1 6219a323b6 docs(architecture): untangle TLS identity use cases, remove phase framing, add ADR-013 Rust canonical + agent crate
- Rewrite OQ-12: separate two distinct TLS identity use cases (RFC 7250
  raw keys as default for P2P, X.509 for domain-hosted/browsers) instead
  of conflating them as 'file paths now, ACME later'. ACME is a proven
  pattern from the reverse-proxy project, not speculative future work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

- Update endpoint.md TLS section: comprehensive identity model comparison
  table, RFC 7250 as default mode, ACME as proven pattern.
2026-06-17 09:32:44 +00:00
glm-5.1 a596f0d188 docs(architecture): add alknet-call crate spec, ADR-012, resolve OQ-07
Add architecture specs for the alknet-call crate:

- call-protocol.md: CallAdapter, EventEnvelope wire format, bidirectional
  stream model with ID-based correlation, PendingRequestMap, protocol
  operations (call/subscribe/batch/schema), per-request identity resolution,
  connection/stream lifecycle, error codes

- operation-registry.md: OperationSpec, async Handler type, OperationRegistry,
  AccessControl with trusted call bypass, OperationEnv with context
  propagation (parent_request_id, identity inheritance), service discovery,
  irpc integration layering, naming convention (no leading slash in names)

- ADR-012: Call protocol uses bidirectional QUIC streams with EventEnvelope
  framing and ID-based correlation. Protocol is stream-agnostic and symmetric.
  Resolves OQ-07.

Key design decisions:
- Handler type is async (Fn returning Pin<Box<dyn Future>>)
- OperationEnv::invoke propagates parent context (identity, metadata,
  parent_request_id)
- Identity resolution is per-request, not per-connection
- Operation names without leading slash (fs/readFile, not /fs/readFile)
- Batch is a client-side pattern, not a protocol primitive (OQ-14)
- Phase 1 uses service/op paths, node prefix added later (OQ-13)

Also: promote ADR-010 and ADR-011 from Proposed to Accepted, add OQ-13
and OQ-14 to open-questions.md.
