Phase 1, Task 4 of crate extraction. Moves 34 tests into alknet-tls: - server.rs: 16 tests (RawKeyCertResolver, SelfSignedCert, AcmeDirectory, TlsServerConfig, build_rustls_server_config, build_quinn_server_config, AcceptAnyCertVerifier) - client.rs: 10 tests (FingerprintPinVerifier, select_server_verifier, build_client_auth, TlsClientConfig::new + for_quinn) - signing.rs: 6 tests (Ed25519SigningKey trait impls) - pem.rs: 3 tests (load_cert_chain, load_private_key error paths) build_quinn_client_config tests adapted to use TlsClientConfig::new().for_quinn(). tls_setup_x509 test adapted to use TlsServerConfig::new(). Test helpers (build_ed25519_spki_der, build_x509_cert_der, aws_lc_rs_provider, verify_pin) moved with their tests. Old tests stay in endpoint.rs and call_client.rs (duplicated). No breakage.
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 The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.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.
