Add ADR-026 (vault key model — HD derivation) recording the foundational HD-derivation decision, 74' coin type reservation, SLIP-0010/Ed25519 default, secp256k1 feature-gating, and AES-256-GCM cipher choice. These were previously inline rationale with no ADR (W9). Extend ADR-018 with an explicit EncryptedData wire format lock — fields, encoding, and semantics are frozen; no removal without a format-version migration (W10). Resolve the remaining guard clauses and spec decisions: - W2: Capabilities must be immutable after construction (no interior mutability). Makes the Arc vs deep-copy clone semantics genuinely two-way. - W5: Published to_* specs are compatibility contracts — best-effort mappings are two-way before first publication, one-way after. Version generated specs. - W6: Salt field clarification — v2 salt is permanently unused; a future KDF is a different derivation family, not a version-indexed path; the field saves a wire-format change only. - W7: unlock_new returns Zeroizing<String> — the mnemonic is the root of trust and must not linger in freed memory. - W17: OQ-09 WASM — server-side dispatch door is honestly closed (Connection is concrete, tokio-bound), not implicitly preserved. - W18: OQ-10 git — composability fork (raw smart protocol vs call-protocol projection) is a separate decision from ERC721 scope. - W20: from_openapi must prefix imported error codes (HTTP_404) to avoid collision with protocol-level codes (NOT_FOUND). Normative rule, not naming convention. - W21: ScopedOperationEnv field is private — construction via new()/ empty(), query via allows(). Makes the future subgraph refactor non-breaking. - C13: Connection::set_identity — the endpoint does not read identity() after handle() returns (Connection is moved into the spawned task). Observability is handler-side logging. Simplest honest answer. - W1: OperationAdapter trait is async, returns Vec<HandlerRegistration>. from_call requires async discovery; ADR-022 changed the return type. - W11: CompositionAuthority::as_identity() defined — constructs a synthetic Identity (label as id, scopes, resources) not resolvable via IdentityProvider. Second Identity construction path, acknowledged. - W14: SecretKey is iroh::SecretKey (Ed25519) — consistent with the endpoint's iroh dependency. - W19: Grandchild abort propagation is inherit-by-default (option a) — invoke() with no explicit policy inherits parent's policy. ContinueRunning auto-propagates to grandchildren unless explicitly overridden.
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.
