The root question is 'does wasm make sense for alksocks?', not 'how
do we get wasm': Case 1 (wasm wanted) -> fork-first, PR as courtesy,
carry regardless; Case 2 (wasm unwanted) -> plain dependency on the
router.rs native path, no fork (the alkhttp precedent, strictly
better when its premise holds). Decision inputs written: (a) is
there a planned sandboxed (wasm) consumer of the SOCKS5 service,
(b) is the fork genuinely minimal (POC #4 checks). Fork-first is a
conditional preference, not a general one — do not carry a fork for
an invariant's sake. AGENTS.md conventions 4/17 aligned.
- phase-0 vision: components split — (1) producer half (expose the
SOCKS5 service over channels), (2) consumer half (consume it,
optionally bind it locally — the ssh -D front door + tun2proxy
path), (3) standalone SOCKS client wrapper for quinn/noq that must
work with any RFC 1928 server (iroh relay/peer IP-leak motivation,
alknet ADR-090 generalized); the earlier docs conflated the
consumer-side bind with the producer-side local backend
- principle 6: the vpn-like endgame — tunnel a produced SOCKS5
resource to a local port, point tun2proxy (--proxy socks5://
natively) at it; verified tun2proxy src/args.rs
- OQ-SK-04 resolved as fork-first: 'fork' = vendor-and-vet inline in
the crate (minimal diff, feature-gate native-net), PR upstream as
courtesy, never wait on approval; wasm-drop (alkhttp precedent) is
the escape hatch, not the plan
- AGENTS.md conventions 4/9/17 aligned (fork-first, binds on either
side, wasm posture)
- OQ-SK-03: RFC 1928 control/data never interleave (fast-socks5
wait_on_tcp treats post-reply control bytes as garbage), so the
alktty 5-stream demux solves a problem SOCKS5 doesn't have; phase
model (pass-through CONNECT, len-prefixed datagrams post-reply)
subsumes it; the demux's real advantage is an additive in-band
stream-type vocabulary — noted as the honest one-way-door fork
- OQ-SK-04: no structural fork needed for the channels surface
(router.rs interception shape covers CONNECT; run_udp_proxy_custom
+ reply_success + the pure UDP codec cover ASSOCIATE); the
fork/wrap/reimplement decision is driven entirely by the wasm
feature-gating outcome; full fork documented as least attractive
