docs(adr): 094 — per-identity channel cap as DoS defense
ADR-076 framed the per-connection max_channels=256 cap as the DoS defense, but a peer can open an unbounded number of transport connections, so a per-connection cap bounds a connection's reassembly-buffer cost, not a peer's total channels. The only coherent unit for a channel DoS defense is the identity. ADR-094 records the corrected design: a ChannelLifecyclePolicy trait in channels-call (where the identity is already on OperationContext), consulted by the channel/open handler (after AccessControl::check, before allocation) and the channel/close handler (after the drain completes). Default is PerIdentityChannelPolicy::new(256) — 256 per PeerId across all the peer's connections, shared via Arc across every channels connection a peer accepts. The cap is a peer concern (not hub-specific), symmetric (both sides enforce), and lives in channels-call because the channels layer is auth-blind by design (ADR-075) — that is what makes it WASM-compatible, transport-agnostic, and ALPN-blind. For the hub-relay path (ADR-079), the spoke sees the hub as the direct caller (ADR-032 — forwarded_for is metadata, not authority, for the cap as for AccessControl::check), so the spoke caps the hub, not the browser. A spoke serving a high-fan-out hub sets the hub peer's cap higher via with_per_identity_caps — the spoke's own policy, not the hub's. Recursive channels do not bypass the cap (the same policy can be wired into the inner ChannelOperations). ADR-076 is amended: the per-connection max_channels is reframed as a per-connection memory bound (still returns channel:too_many_channels when hit), the "DoS defense summary" table is removed, and the "per-connection, not per-peer" line (the channels layer confessing a hole and hoping the layer above would fill it) is corrected. Spec docs updated to reference ADR-094: channel-operations.md gains a "Per-identity channel cap" section (trait, default, enforcement point, relay consequence, recursion); channels-adapter.md adds the policy check as step 3 of the channel/open handler and the decrement in channel/close; hub README adds the channel_policy field on Hub, the with_channel_policy builder, a dedicated subsection, and the inbound-peer-vs-hub-as-caller distinction; channels/README.md adds ADR-094 to the Applicable ADRs table and a 9th Key Design Principle; docs/architecture/README.md adds a Current State note and the ADR table row. |

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. 19 files modified, net -116 lines. No ADRs or OQ files touched. |

docs(adr): 093 — channels pure channel multiplexing (8-byte header, no stream_type)
Prune the channels spec to reflect the stream-unification resolution (docs/research/stream-unification/findings.md): the channels wire format goes from 9 bytes to 8 bytes, the channels layer no longer carries a stream_type concept, into_sub_streams() is removed, and TTY always uses its 5-byte format (carried transparently in the channels payload). ADR-093 is the umbrella decision (the channels-layer consequence of ADR-092's BiStream handler leaf): every channel is a BiStream, the handler owns its sub-stream multiplexing, the channels layer routes by channel_id only. Amends ADR-071 (8-byte header, no stream_type), ADR-074 (into_sub_streams removed, accept_bi yields BiStream), reverses ADR-077 (TTY always 5-byte), and the channels-facing clauses of ADR-072/073/075/076/080/081. Adds ADR-092 forward-reference note (into_sub_streams preservation subsequently reversed by ADR-093) and the missing ADR-092 cross-reference on ADR-070. Adds OQ-68 (add/strip API shape — built-in vs utility; the contract is decided in ADR-093, the function surface is open; two-way door, low priority, decision-ready when the channels crate's implementation begins). Rewrites the 7 channels spec docs (README, overview, channels-wire, channels-connection, channels-adapter, channel-operations, channel-client) to describe the post-amendment shape as current, with the 8-byte header, the add/strip composition, single accept_bi accessor, BiStream per channel, and TTY-always-5-byte. Touch-up cross-references in hub README, client README, ADR-085, and the OQ-45/47/65 question files (TTY-internal stream_type 3 → STREAM_CTRL_IN; channels 9-byte → 8-byte). |

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. |

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. 29 files, consistency-reviewed. |

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). |

docs(arch): unweld ChannelClient from QUIC — from_connection primary, connect_quic convenience (ADR-080 amendment)
The channels protocol is transport-agnostic by design (ADR-071 substrate
modes; ADR-065 unwound the server-side QUIC-welding via
Connection::from_stream/from_bidi). ADR-080 had welded the client-side
one-way-door API to QUIC and masked it as a deferral ('QUIC-only
initially', 'can be generalized later') — anti-patterns #8/#9/#11
(door-type-as-deferral + resolved-with-escape-hatch). 'Can be
generalized later' meant 'can be rewritten later' — the expensive
reversal the one-way-door classification exists to prevent.
Fix: split the constructor surface.
- from_connection(connection: Connection) — transport-agnostic primary,
one-way door. Mirrors server-side ChannelsAdapter::handle(Connection)
and the existing CallClient::spawn_dispatch pattern.
- connect_quic(addr, credentials) — QUIC convenience, two-way door,
additive. Future connect_tcp_tls / connect_webtransport join it
without touching the one-way-door surface.
OQ-55 reframed: the deferred thing is the shared dial+TLS seam
(AlknetClient), not a QUIC-welded client API. The client take-over APIs
(CallClient::spawn_dispatch, ChannelClient::from_connection) are
transport-agnostic and decided; only the shared dial across transports
is blocked on a second transport's dial existing.
Files:
- decisions/080-channelclient.md: amendment section, Decision code
block, Transport-agnostic by construction (replaces QUIC-only
initially), Consequences, Door type, subscribe_resources added to
Decision block (was referenced by Door type but missing)
- crates/channels/channel-client.md: from_connection primary API,
Transport-agnostic by construction section, OQ-55 relationship
- crates/channels/overview.md, crates/channels/README.md,
crates/core/README.md, README.md, open-questions.md,
questions/055-...md: cross-reference summaries aligned

docs(arch): control format is ALPN-specific (not JSON-binding); hub/worker are consumers not sub-crates
Two refinements from the review: 1. Control stream_types (3/4/5) carry ALPN-specific payloads, not JSON. The channels layer is blind to what control stream_types carry — it reassembles bytes and delivers them to the handler. TTY happens to use JSON for its control channel because its control messages map cleanly to JSON; another ALPN might use a binary format. The channels layer does not mandate JSON on control stream_types, the same way it doesn't mandate a format for data stream_types. This prevents the TTY/PTY JSON constraint from becoming a binding constraint on all future channel types. (ADR-071, channels-wire.md) 2. Hub and worker are consumers of channels, not sub-crates. The existing alknet-hub crate IS the channels hub — it depends on channels-call and uses channels as its substrate, with the relay logic (ADR-079) living in alknet-hub. A worker is any crate that uses ChannelClient to dial. There are no channels-hub or channels-worker sub-crates. The dependency direction is: alknet-hub → channels-call → channels-core → alknet-core; worker → channels-call → channels-core → alknet-core. The channels crate has no dependency on alknet-hub or any worker crate. (ADR-081, overview.md) |

docs(arch): channels substrate simplification + stream_type decomposition + sub-crate split
Three simplifications to the channels spec, all flowing from the review: 1. Substrate simplification (ADR-071 revised): the 9-byte chunk header is used in ALL substrates — in-line (TCP+TLS, WebTransport), native (QUIC bidi streams), and multi-connection. The ChannelsAdapter reads headers off every bidi stream it accepts; the transport's native multiplexing is a performance optimization (independent flow-control windows), not a protocol change. One wire format, one code path, one handler experience. The channel_id in the header is the correlation key across substrates. 2. Stream_type decomposition (ADR-071 revised): every stream_type is unidirectional. Bidirectionality is two stream_types (write + read), not one 'bidirectional' stream_type. Grouped in threes: 0/1/2 = data write/read/err, 3/4/5 = control write/read/err, % 3 formula. This resolves the TTY control channel's 'not actually bidirectional' flaw — control is now 3 (write, client→server) + 4 (read, server→client), each with its own reassembly buffer and EOF. Channel 0 uses [0,1] (call frames bidirectional via 0=in, 1=out). TTY uses [0,1,2,3,4]. ADR-072, 073, 074, 077 updated for the new stream_type assignments. 3. Sub-crate decomposition (ADR-081 new): channels-core (pure multiplexer — wire format, demux/mux, ChannelBidiStreamSource, ChannelManager; depends on alknet-core only, no call dependency, ALPN-blind) / channels-call (channel 0 pre-negotiation + lifecycle op registrations; depends on channels-core + alknet-call) / channels-hub (relay) / channels-worker (ChannelClient). Isolates the call-protocol coupling from the pure multiplexer so the dependency graph is honest. ADR-077 (TTY inside channels) updated: TTY now uses 5 sub-streams [0,1,2,3,4] with control properly bidirectional via 3/4; amends ADR-052's stream_type assignments for direct mode too (direct alknet/tty now uses 0-4, not 0-3). Spec docs updated: channels-wire, channels-connection, channels-adapter, channel-operations, overview, README. |

docs(arch): add alknet-channels specs — ADRs 071-080, 7 spec docs, OQ-56/57
Phase 1 architecture for alknet-channels (multiplexing proxy on alknet/channels). Grounded in the completed de-risk POC (28 tests) and the landed ADR-070 (BidiStreamSource trait + Connection::from_source). ADRs: - 071: 9-byte chunk wire format (generalizes TTY's 5-byte) - 072: channel 0 pre-negotiated as alknet/call (no special control plane) - 073: channel lifecycle operations on the call protocol — channel/open, close, control, resources/subscribe; direction field pinned; subscribe from day one (not poll-for-v1 — StreamingHandler machinery exists) - 074: ChannelBidiStreamSource implements BidiStreamSource (ADR-070); into_sub_streams() typed accessor for TTY; accept_bi() generic path - 075: ChannelsAdapter + ChannelManager; REQ-CH-01..04 wire invariants - 076: bounded-buffer backpressure (1 MiB), 256-channel cap, monotonic IDs - 077: TTY inside channels uses sub-streams, not own wire format; amends ADR-052 scope to direct-connect TTY; channels feature on tty - 078: two-pump shutdown-on-completion contract (handler-level) - 079: hub relay translates channel 0, byte-forwards data channels - 080: ChannelClient (QUIC-only); AlknetClient core extraction deferred (OQ-55) Spec docs: overview, channels-wire, channels-connection, channels-adapter, channel-operations, channel-client. OQ-56 (full windowing) and OQ-57 (two-pump helper extraction) are genuine deferred(scope) deferrals with concrete blocking conditions; the contracts are decided, only the extensions are deferred. Hedging audit converted three research hedges into decisions: resources/subscribe (not poll), server-assigned IDs (not if-zero-RTT), bounded-buffer (not if-HOL-becomes-a-problem). |
