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

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

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.

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.
