glm-5.2 e2730869ca docs(architecture): add ADR-016 abort cascade for nested calls, resolve OQ-17
ADR-016 locks the abort cascade model:
- call.aborted cascades to all non-terminal descendants via parent_request_id
- Default policy: abort-dependents (abort everything downstream)
- Opt-in: continue-running (started descendants continue, pending ones abort)
- Server (CallAdapter) discovers descendants and propagates; client sends one abort
- Handlers clean up via Rust async drop semantics (Drop guards)
- parent_indexed map suffices for tree walking; flowgraph is optional prior art

Spec updates:
- call-protocol.md abort cascade section references ADR-016
- OQ-17 resolved, ADR-016 referenced across all call crate specs
- README.md updated: ADRs 001-016, OQ-17 moved to resolved

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 The previous implementation has been archived and a greenfield rebuild is in progress.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.
