ADR-070 made Connection hold Box<dyn BidiStreamSource> so downstream
crates can add connection shapes without editing core. The trait and
three built-in impls landed, but the public constructor that lets a
downstream crate construct a Connection from its own BidiStreamSource
impl was never added — the source field is private with no from_source
constructor. The channels POC update surfaced this when it tried to
use the trait directly and found no way to build a Connection from a
ChannelBidiStreamSource.
This is a gap in the ADR-070 implementation, not a new decision. ADR-070
§Consequences says 'the channels crate implements ChannelBidiStreamSource
in its own crate and constructs Connection from it' — the constructor for
that path is what was missing.
- ADR-070: add from_source to the Constructors table + reword the
downstream-crates paragraph to make the two paths explicit
(from_source for custom impls; from_quinn/from_iroh/from_stream for
built-in impls)
- core-types.md: add from_source to the impl Connection block, the
built-in implementations table, and the design-decisions table entry
- tasks/core/connection-from-source-constructor.md: the implementation
task (one constructor + one test, scope narrow, risk low)
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).
