glm-5.3-flash e196ed43e3 docs: remove em dashes from repo prose and forbid them going forward
- Rewrote em dash prose across the whole tree outside docs/reviews/
  (the historical reviews stay verbatim, matching the alktunnels and
  alktty precedent): src doc comments and inline comments (587),
  docs/architecture (319), docs/research + sdd_process (484), tests
  (361), tasks (899), fuzz (28), README/CHANGELOG/Cargo.toml (77),
  AGENTS.md (85), and the .opencode/agents prompts (109)
- Fenced content follows the precedent: comments, ASCII-diagram label
  separators, and template placeholders rewritten; wire data, JSON/BAST
  documents, byte diagrams, and transcripts survive verbatim; assert,
  expect, panic, error-display, and format message literals rewritten
  as prose; no code, fixture, or test data change
- src/rfc1928/LICENSE: the two dashes in alksocks' own provenance
  header rewritten; the MIT legal text untouched
- AGENTS.md adds Project Convention 18: no em dashes in prose; varied
  restructure, no spaced-hyphen substitutes, fenced prose rule, en
  dash numeric ranges exempt, docs/reviews/ exempt from the greps
- tasks/*.md frontmatter: the name values rewritten by the sweep are
  now quoted (a raw colon inside an unquoted YAML scalar parsed as
  null); taskgraph validate reports 37 tasks, no issues

Verification: cargo test; cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings;
cargo fmt --check; cargo doc --no-deps; fuzz corpus replay
(cargo test --manifest-path fuzz/shared/Cargo.toml); wasm check and
clippy for wasm32-unknown-unknown with -D warnings; em dash grep over
the repo returns matches only in docs/reviews/ and the bast.md BAST
JSON data fence

ADR-008: Egress/Accept Provider Defaults: Local Socket and Composed (Direct Op)

Status

Accepted (2026-09-20, Phase 1; the A/B assembly-layer choice (OQ-SK-01's residue), with the composed vehicle settled by alktunnels 0.2.0 ADR-007)

Context

OQ-SK-01's dialer-trait-vs-callback half is closed (ADR-004); what remained was the default provider set: where does the dial callback come from in the base crate's optional shapes? Option A (dial via alktunnels, the composed shape), Option B (dial directly, local TCP), Option C (injected dialer trait, rejected, ADR-004). alktunnels 0.2.0 removed Option A's blocker (the direct op channels/tunnel/direct is the dynamic-target channel: one open per CONNECT target, what it was graduated for), and POC #2 measured its per-destination open cost (~0.8 ms, loopback), fine for DNS + browsing.

Decision

  • The base crate ships both provider kinds, both feature-gated:
    • Local-socket providers (behind the local feature): a real TcpStream dial (CONNECT), a real UdpSocket egress (ASSOCIATE, one socket per association, per-datagram send_to/recv_from; no flow table; domain destinations resolve at the egress, the ssh -D semantic), a real TcpListener accept (BIND, ADR-007 variant 1). These are the faithful-RFC shapes and the simplest assembly story.
    • Composed providers (behind the composition feature): the dial callback opens an alktunnels direct-op channel naming the target (open_direct, Substrate::Tcp/Substrate::Udp); the UDP table is a lazy destination→tunnel table (open on first datagram, LRU-evict at a cap, POC #2's ComposedEgress shape). Hub relaying is per-target terminate-and-re-produce (alkcall ADR-051).
  • Neither provider is a dependency of the protocol layer; both are assembly-layer wiring (ADR-004); the features exist so the providers ship in the crate rather than forcing every deployment to hand-roll them. The feature gates and module placement are in overview.md §Feature gates.
  • No default in the abstract: registration always takes the callbacks explicitly; there is no implicit "default dialer." The feature-gated providers are convenience constructors over the same seams. A missing callback means that command refuses RFC-faithfully (CommandNotSupported-class reply), never a panic: the command gate is the open handler's dispatch, and a provider-less command is an unprovided capability, not an error condition.
  • Per-target ACL is the composed variant's benefit (each destination rides its own tunnel:direct-governed channel, ADR-006); the local variant's target policy is the dial callback itself.

Consequences

  • The "no ports" story has two halves, both covered: the consumer-facing half (the handle swap, ADR-003) and the producing-side half (local egress behind local; composed egress behind the composition feature; the protocol layer sees neither).
  • The 256-channel default cap bounds composed fan-out; the documented proxy-workload recommendation (ADR-010) covers the deployment guidance.
  • The composed egress's open cost is measured and acceptable for the target workloads (DNS + browsing); a high-fanout deployment that dislikes per-destination opens uses the local variant or raises the cap (config, not wire).
