Implements the one-way-door backend inversion point in crates/alknet-tty/src/backend.rs: - TtyBackend trait (#[async_trait]): allocate() + resource_id() default None - TtyError enum (#[non_exhaustive]): AllocFailed, WaitFailed, Io, Backend - TtyParams + TerminalParams (allocation request shapes) - TtyHandle: stdin (AsyncWrite), stdout/stderr (Stream<Bytes>), exit_code (BoxFuture<Result<i32,TtyError>>), control (Option<TtyControlHandle>) - TtyControl trait (object-safe, NOT Clone) + TtyControlHandle newtype (#[derive(Clone)] wrapping Arc<dyn TtyControl + Send + Sync>) - From<NegotiateRequest> for TtyParams and From<TerminalParamsWire> for TerminalParams (adapter uses these; no hand-rolled mapping) - MockBackend (in-memory mpsc pipes + oneshot exit + MockControl) for compile-check and adapter tests - Unit tests: TtyControlHandle clone+delegation, MockBackend allocate/exit, resource_id default, From<NegotiateRequest> mapping (pty + pipe modes) TtyBackend trait doc carries REQ-TTY-01 (backends need not be natively async); TtyHandle.exit_code doc carries the ADR-056 kill-on-Drop contract. negotiation.rs carries minimal NegotiateRequest/TerminalParamsWire placeholders (field set per tty-wire.md) so the From conversion compiles before the negotiation task lands; that task replaces them with the full framing machinery.
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 The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.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.
