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(arch): rewrite hub README for multi-transport + channels substrate; add OQ-58 (worker registration)
The hub README predates channels (2026-07-09) and was built on the call-protocol-directly-over-QUIC model: 'One QUIC connection per peer carrying the call protocol,' CallClient::connect as the dial path, QUIC as the only transport. The channels crate replaced that substrate (ADR-071/079/080), and the hub's primary use case (worker provisioning on docker/vast.ai/runpod) requires TCP+TLS for registration and QUIC or TCP+TLS for the ongoing session — coexisting on one hub, not as alternatives. Rewrite: - Multi-transport stated as decided: 'A hub MUST support TCP+TLS and QUIC endpoints simultaneously.' TCP+TLS accept loop (ADR-010 Am. 1) lives in the hub, shares the HandlerRegistry with the quinn endpoint. - Channels substrate: the hub uses ChannelsAdapter/ChannelClient (from_connection primary, connect_quic convenience — ADR-080), not CallClient/CallAdapter directly. One channels connection per peer; CallAdapter runs on channel 0 (ADR-072). - Transport-agnostic dial/accept: dial_worker_connection takes a Connection (one-way door); connect_quic_worker is a two-way-door convenience. supervise_worker takes a dial closure, not a SocketAddr. - Identity over transports: fingerprint path (QUIC+raw-key, X.509 client cert) via resolve_from_fingerprint; bearer-token path (TCP+TLS no client cert, WebTransport, WebSocket) via resolve_from_token on the call first frame. Both resolve to the same PeerEntry (ADR-030/034). - Worker registration flow (6 steps): provision → token → download → key gen → HTTP POST over TCP+TLS → channels connect. Step 4 is HTTP on HttpAdapter; step 6 is channels over QUIC or TCP+TLS. The hub creates a mixed-fingerprint PeerEntry (ADR-034 §3) at registration. - OQ-58: worker registration flow — enrollment-token model, endpoint shape, register_worker API. Open (decision-ready, not blocked), one-way door, high priority. - ADR-081: fix stale references to channels-hub/channels-worker sub-crates (the ADR's Decision says they don't exist; the References section said they did). Review (architecture-reviewer): 3 critical (ADR-081 stale refs; bearer-token extraction flow; assembly example QUIC-only + unspecced into_connection), 7 warnings (registration 'or'→'both', channel/control translation, OQ-52 interim, HubError variant naming, RegistrationError definition, X.509-client-cert prose, adapter ownership phrasing), 5 suggestions. All criticals and warnings #4/#7/#8 addressed; #5/#6/#9/#10 addressed; #11-15 noted as optional. |

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. |
