glm-5.1 19b3d3a078 docs: write Phase 0 architecture foundation — ADRs 026-034, spec docs, and task updates
Phase 0a — ADRs (9 new):
- ADR-026: Transport/interface separation (three-layer model)
- ADR-027: Crate decomposition (core, secret, storage, flowgraph, napi, CLI)
- ADR-028: Auth as irpc service (AuthProtocol behind feature flag)
- ADR-029: Identity as core type (Identity + IdentityProvider in alknet-core)
- ADR-030: Static/dynamic config split (ArcSwap, ConfigReloadHandle)
- ADR-031: Forwarding policy (rule-based allow/deny, TransportKind-aware)
- ADR-032: Event boundary discipline (domain, irpc, call protocol boundaries)
- ADR-033: OperationEnv universal composition (three dispatch paths)
- ADR-034: Head/worker terminology (replace hub/spoke)

Phase 0b — New spec documents (7):
- identity.md, services.md, interface.md, configuration.md,
  storage.md, flowgraph.md, secret-service.md

Updated existing docs:
- auth.md: reference identity.md for canonical definitions, add AuthProtocol
- open-questions.md: resolve OQ-12, OQ-16, OQ-18, OQ-22, OQ-23-25
- README.md: add all new docs, ADRs 026-034

Marked 19 architecture tasks as completed.

Description

Create docs/architecture/storage.md — an architecture spec for the alknet-storage crate, covering the metagraph data model, identity tables, ACL graph, honker integration, and StorageProtocol irpc service.

The integration plan notes this could be "a new spec or reference alknet-storage's own docs." Since alknet-storage doesn't exist yet as a crate, we need an architecture spec here to define its contract — especially the interface back to core (StorageIdentityProvider implementing alknet-core's IdentityProvider trait).

If the crate will have its own detailed docs later, this spec can be a contract-level document: what storage provides, what it depends on, and how it connects to core.

Source: docs/research/storage.md (460 lines, comprehensive)

Acceptance Criteria

  • docs/architecture/storage.md exists with YAML frontmatter (status: draft)
  • Follows spec format: What, Why, Architecture, Constraints, Open Questions, Design Decisions
  • Documents metagraph data model: GraphType, NodeType, EdgeType, Graph, Node, Edge
  • Documents identity tables: accounts, organizations, peer_credentials, api_keys, audit_logs
  • Documents ACL as metagraph: PrincipalNode, DelegatesEdge, access control graph
  • Documents encrypted node type: bridges to alknet-secret's EncryptedData format
  • Documents honker integration: stream_publish/subscribe, notify/listen, queue/claim
  • Documents System DB vs Tenant DB separation
  • Documents StorageIdentityProvider: implements alknet-core's IdentityProvider trait (queries peer_credentials + ACL graph) per ADR-029
  • Documents StorageProtocol irpc service with key variants
  • States crate dependencies: rusqlite, honker, petgraph, jsonschema, irpc
  • States crate does NOT depend on alknet-core (implements core's trait by depending on alknet-core types, not the full crate — or via the trait definition only)
  • Event boundary per ADR-032: honker streams stay within storage service, StorageProtocol serves as internal boundary, call protocol events are projections
  • References ADR-027, ADR-029, ADR-032
  • docs/architecture/README.md updated to include storage.md
