glm-5.2 1baa619ce9 docs(arch): decompose open-questions.md into per-OQ files under questions/
The monolithic open-questions.md (1310 lines, 47 OQs) was large enough to be
unmanageable, with high size variance (OQ-42 at 220 lines next to OQ-06 at 8).
Decomposed into one file per OQ under docs/architecture/questions/ (NNN-slug.md,
mirroring the ADR convention), with open-questions.md retained as the index:
theme-grouped tables plus a cross-theme Deferred/Blocked section that surfaces
the 6 deferred OQs with their Blocked-on conditions inline (the safe-exit
visibility surface). Per-OQ content moved verbatim; all 62 inbound links stay
valid (none used anchors). README's curated OQ summary dropped (now redundant
with the index tables).

Also seeds tasks/architecture/ with this task plus two follow-ups found during
the decompose: OQ-09/10 missing structured Blocked-on fields, and the
tasks/architecture/ blocker-task half of the Safe Exit protocol being
unenforced.

OQ-47: Stdin Closure Canonical Signal

  • Origin: docs/research/alknet-docker/poc-summary.md §"Open Unknowns" #4 (stdin closure semantics for raw carriage); crates/tty/tty-wire.md §"Stdin Closure".
  • Status: resolved
  • Door type: Two-way
  • Priority: low
  • Resolution: Either a zero-length stdin chunk (stream_type 0, length 0 — the docker POC's sentinel) or a {"type":"eof"} control chunk (stream_type 3 — the tty POC's explicit signal) closes the client's stdin. Both are accepted by the adapter; the spec recommends eof for explicitness (it's a control message, not a data-length hack). The adapter handles both identically: signal EOF to the backend's stdin (ChildStdin::drop / PTY writer close) and keep pumping stdout until the exit resolves — the client may still want to receive remaining output + the exit code. A third path (client closes the write half of the bidi stream) is also accepted and handled the same way. See ADR-052 and tty-wire.md.
