Expand the minimal OperationEnv trait from the operation-context task with concrete dispatch implementations per ADR-024: - LocalOperationEnv (Layer 0): wraps Arc<OperationRegistry>. invoke_with_policy runs the scoped_env reachability check (ADR-015/022), looks up the registration, then constructs a child OperationContext with internal: true, identity = parent.handler_identity.as_identity() (the ADR-015 authority switch), fresh metadata (HashMap::new() — ADR-014 security constraint, no parent metadata propagation), inherited deadline (parent.deadline, not a fresh 30s), inherited env (parent.env.clone() — Arc::clone per ADR-024), and the child's own composition_authority + scoped_env from its registration. contains() uses the default impl (returns true — curated registry contains everything it can dispatch). - CompositeOperationEnv (per-call, ADR-024): composes session (Layer 1), connection (Layer 2), and base (Layer 0) trait objects. invoke_with_policy runs the same reachability check, then probes overlays in order via contains() (the overlay-dispatch contract from review #003 C9), dispatching to the first overlay that contains the op. contains() aggregates all layers. The trait-object design is load-bearing: making OperationEnv concrete would close the session-overlay and connection-overlay patterns. Same integration- point pattern as IdentityProvider (ADR-004). Tests cover: allowed/disallowed reachability, internal-flag propagation, authority switch (child identity = parent handler_identity), fresh metadata, inherited deadline, composite session-overlay dispatch, composite fall-through to base, composite connection-overlay dispatch when session lacks op, and composite contains aggregation.
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 The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.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.
