The vault spec-to-implementation sync is complete. Remove the drift tracking tools that were only needed during sync: - Remove the Known Source Drift table from vault/README.md - Remove 'known drift' / 'current source uses X' prose from Security Constraints sections in vault/README.md, encryption.md, and service.md. The permanent constraint statements (OsRng for IVs, zeroized drop, no unwrap, etc.) are preserved. - Remove the drift paragraph in encryption.md Key Versioning. - Remove stale 'to be updated per ADR-025' / 'postcard tests to be removed' notes in protocol.md References. - Bump status: draft -> stable in the frontmatter of all vault docs (README, mnemonic-derivation, encryption, service, protocol). - Update architecture/README.md: vault doc status entries to stable, Current State paragraph reflects vault implementation complete (no 'pending ADR-025/026 refactor' language).
Alknet
Status: Pre-alpha — This project is undergoing a major architectural pivot to an ALPN-as-service model. The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.
A self-hostable networking toolkit built on QUIC+TLS with ALPN-based protocol dispatch. Each protocol handler (SSH, SFTP, Git, HTTP, DNS, messaging, call protocol) registers an ALPN string on a shared endpoint. The ALPN negotiation during the TLS/QUIC handshake routes connections to the correct handler before any application bytes are read.
Core Insight
A service IS an ALPN. One endpoint, one port, many protocols — dispatched by the TLS handshake, not by application-level peeking or separate listeners.
