glm-5.1 84f16d66e7 tasks: decompose Phase 0b spec documents and Phase 0c review
Add 15 new tasks under tasks/architecture/ for Phase 0b (spec writing)
and Phase 0c (review):

Phase 0b — New specs (6):
  - spec-configuration: promote from research, cleanup, align with ADRs
  - spec-identity: carry from auth.md + services.md, canonical Identity
  - spec-secret-service: from research/services.md SecretProtocol
  - spec-storage: from research/storage.md, contract-level
  - spec-flowgraph: from research/flow.md, pure computation crate
  - spec-interface: new Layer 2 spec (highest risk new spec)
  - spec-services: irpc service layer + OperationEnv (broadest scope)

Phase 0b — Spec updates (6):
  - spec-update-overview: add crate structure, Layer 3, services
  - spec-update-auth: IdentityProvider vs AuthService relationship
  - spec-update-call-protocol: OperationEnv dispatch paths
  - spec-update-server: DynamicConfig, ForwardingPolicy, IdentityProvider
  - spec-update-napi: reload API, call protocol references
  - spec-update-open-questions: resolve OQs per ADR decisions

Phase 0b — Assembly (1):
  - spec-update-readme: add new docs and ADRs to tables

Phase 0c — Review (1):
  - review-spec-foundation: validate consistency checklist

Generation structure (6 total):
  Gen 1: 6 independent ADRs (parallel)
  Gen 2: adr-027, adr-028 (depend on adr-029)
  Gen 3: adr-033 + 6 spec docs + open-questions update (parallel)
  Gen 4: adr review + interface/services specs + 4 spec updates
  Gen 5: call-protocol update + readme update
  Gen 6: spec review

Description

Update docs/architecture/open-questions.md to record resolutions for the open questions that the new ADRs address.

Questions to resolve:

  • OQ-12 (Per-user forwarding scope vs global rules): Resolved per ADR-031 — start with global rules + principal matching. Per-user scope from peer_credentials.metadata.scopes via IdentityProvider.
  • OQ-16 (Transport-specific forwarding policy): Resolved per ADR-031 — add TransportKind match in ForwardingRule. WebTransport clients can be restricted to alknet-* channels.
  • OQ-18 (Source of Identity.scopes): Resolved per ADR-029 and ADR-031 — IdentityProvider owns scopes, ForwardingPolicy uses scopes from Identity.
  • OQ-22 (Client streaming in call protocol): Resolved per integration plan — defer. Current model (single request, optional streaming response) covers all identified use cases.
  • New (irpc dependency: always or feature flag?): Resolved per ADR-027 — feature flag. Nodes that only do SSH tunneling don't need the service layer.
  • New (DNS control channel scope): Resolved per ADR-026 — call protocol frames only (no SSH over DNS).
  • New (alknet-storage and alknet-secret irpc dependency): Resolved per ADR-027 — independently.

Questions that remain open (deferred):

  • OQ-15 (TLS + WebTransport + iroh QUIC coexistence): Deferred to Phase 4 per integration plan.
  • OQ-19 (Separate TLS identity for WebTransport): Deferred to Phase 4.
  • OQ-20 (Worker registration and discovery): Still open per integration plan. Register on connect, cleanup on disconnect is the leading approach but needs spec in call-protocol.md.

Acceptance Criteria

  • OQ-12 marked as resolved with ADR-031 reference
  • OQ-16 marked as resolved with ADR-031 reference
  • OQ-18 marked as resolved with ADR-029/ADR-031 reference
  • OQ-22 marked as resolved (deferred) with note
  • New OQ (irpc feature flag) added and resolved with ADR-027 reference
  • New OQ (DNS control channel scope) added and resolved with ADR-026 reference
  • New OQ (storage/secret irpc dep) added and resolved with ADR-027 reference
  • OQ-15, OQ-19, OQ-20 remain open with notes on deferral
  • last_updated in YAML frontmatter updated
  • Format consistent with existing resolved entries (strikethrough priority, ADR reference)
