Port the alknet-tty architecture docs into alktty and add the BAST
document for the alk/tty wire format. Docs-only; no Rust source
changes.
Spec docs (docs/architecture/, flat layout — single-crate repo):
- overview.md — crate purpose, two-carriage model, deps, ALPN,
backend location map, feature gates
- tty-wire.md — 5-byte chunk codec, control channel split
(STREAM_CTRL_IN=3 / STREAM_CTRL_OUT=4), sentinels
- tty-backend.md — TtyBackend trait, TtyHandle, TtyControl,
REQ-TTY-01 (backends need not be natively async)
- tty-adapter.md — TtyAdapter, three-pump driver, exit-chunk
ordering (ADR-004), cancel cleanup (ADR-005), access control
- tty-local.md — LocalTtyBackend (local feature module), PTY +
pipe modes, REQ-TTY-02 (signal forwarding to process group)
- README.md — architecture index
ADRs (docs/architecture/decisions/, renumbered 001..008 from
alknet 052,053,054,055,056,057,077,093 in order):
- 001 wire format + two-carriage model (incl. Phase 7 control-
channel split amendment)
- 002 TtyBackend trait + TtyHandle
- 003 local backend placement (records both the alknet sibling-
crate decision and the alktty single-crate consolidation behind
a local feature)
- 004 exit code on a control chunk
- 005 backend cleanup on session cancel
- 006 self-contained negotiation framing
- 007 tty inside channels (reversed by 008; kept for historical
context with reversal notice)
- 008 channels pure channel multiplexing (reverses 007; TTY
always uses its 5-byte format)
BAST document (docs/architecture/tty-bast.md):
- Normative JSON spec for the alk/tty wire format, conforming to
the BAST meta-schema at https://alk.dev/bast/v1/schema
- 5-byte chunk header (struct, big-endian: stream_type uint8,
length uint32) + StreamType enum (Stdin=0..CtrlOut=4)
- ControlMessage union (field-name discriminator on type:
resize/signal/eof/exit) with documented deviation that on-wire
control payloads are UTF-8 JSON, not BAST's binary union
encoding
- NegotiationFrame (4-byte BE length + UTF-8 JSON body) +
NegotiateRequest / TerminalParams JSON shapes
- StreamType enum deviation noted: on-wire uint8, not BAST's
standard u32 enum index (chunk header is 5 bytes, not 8)
- alktty does not depend on alktype; the hand-rolled wire.rs is
the runtime codec, the BAST is the human-readable contract
AGENTS.md: fixed the ADR mapping table to match the plan's 8-to-8
mapping (the previous table substituted ADR-050 for 054, relabeled
056 as control-message split, dropped 077, and added a new
control-split ADR at 006 — inconsistent with both the plan and the
prose). ADR-050 (dynamic resource ownership) is an alkcall/alknet-
core ADR, not tty-specific, and is not ported; the Phase 7 control
split stays as an amendment inside ADR-001, mirroring alknet.
Verification (all pass, no Rust source changed):
- cargo test (80 passed)
- cargo test --all-features (103 passed)
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings (clean)
- cargo fmt --check (clean)
- cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown (clean)
- cargo clippy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -- -D warnings
(clean)
- cargo doc --no-deps: 9 pre-existing intra-doc-link warnings in
src/session.rs and src/channels.rs (untouched by this commit;
not introduced here)
- BAST JSON parses; StreamType indices match wire.rs constants
