Implements CallConnection in src/protocol/connection.rs representing an established alknet/call connection (either direction). Holds the Layer 2 imported-ops overlay (ADR-024) as Arc<RwLock<HashMap>>. - register_imported / register_imported_all add to the connection overlay - overlay_env returns an OperationEnv dispatching to imported ops; contains() returns true only for ops in the overlay - call() opens a stream, sends call.requested, registers in PendingRequestMap, spawns a stream reader, resolves on first call.responded - subscribe() sends call.requested and yields call.responded until call.completed/call.aborted via a SubscriptionStream wrapping the mpsc receiver - abort() sends call.aborted for the request ID and removes the pending entry - connection drop drops the overlay (no explicit deregistration needed) Exposes MockConnection trait and Connection::from_mock in alknet-core so cross-crate tests can construct mock connections without real QUIC. Removes two unused test helpers in env.rs that triggered dead-code warnings under -D warnings. Adds parking_lot dep for the overlay RwLock and pending Mutex. 9 new connection tests (102 total in alknet-call). Clippy clean.
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 The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.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.
