Arm A: honker-core linked on our rusqlite (bridge per REQ-TTY-01, honker's watcher). Arm B: honker extension .so over sqlx-sqlite (natively async call path, own watcher, per-pool-connection extension + bootstrap — stress-testing what the CI proof script doesn't cover: pool wiring, lost connections, full surface). Option 2 (honker-rs-as-substrate) dropped from scope with reasoning: its mutex-pinned sync transaction model is subsumed by both other postures' trade space. Five probes (async seam, watcher, transactional contract, packaging, cross-process interop), a decision gate including a legitimate hybrid verdict, and out-of-scope boundaries (postgres side, full surface, extension-as-consumer-feature regardless of outcome). Phase-0: POC register added, plan/frontmatter updated; AGENTS.md: POC-register convention codified.
consumer-inventory.md: per-feature scope synthesis over the paused
consumers' written artifacts (alkfs phase-0, alkgit architecture,
alkblobs ADRs, alknet-filesystem POC) — dissolves the circular
'deferring to consumers who can't run until we exist' framing.
notify/locks pinned-or-documented (alkfs invalidation + writer coord,
alkblobs fleet sweeper); queues/outbox documented (alkfs sync outbox,
alkblobs embedder-owned cadence); scheduler documented-thin; streams/
rate-limits/result-storage have no named consumer — kept per working
posture with cut flags, to revisit before implementation.
phase-0.md: OQ-ST-01 answered by the inventory; OQ-ST-02 narrowed
(uniform feature family across engines favors single-crate shape);
OQ-ST-07 sharpened (no consumer needs the loadable-extension surface —
cut-only decision); OQ-ST-04 contract-pinning scoped to inventory rows;
plan step 1 marked done; references extended.
AGENTS.md: architecture context gains the inventory with its
add-a-row-before-assuming rule.
- complete the dangling honker prior-art sentence; fold the pg_notify
posture into the interface-finding paragraph instead of the
'restated conclusion' trailing paragraph
- reference checkouts are read freely but not for direct dependency
use; published versions unless vendored/forked (alksocks precedent)
- pin honker @ f4e53c6 (russellromney/honker) and pgboss-rs @ 98f7d9e
by path+revision per AGENTS.md §3
- reflow one hard-broken hyphen in the honker-rs limitations list
