Subject: [PATCH 01/68] Add API design and progress tracking documents

DESIGN.md defines the complete public API surface for the SDK rewrite:
unified ErrorInfo type, Transport/HttpClient traits, builder-pattern
publish, REST state management with token caching and fallback hosts.

PROGRESS.md tracks phase completion across sessions.

+# ably-rust SDK API Design
+
+This document defines the complete public API surface for the ably-rust SDK rewrite.
+Internal types (`pub(crate)`) are listed separately. The goal is a clean separation
+between user-facing API and implementation details.
+
+## Module Layout
+
+```
+src/
+  lib.rs              -- crate root, re-exports
+  error.rs            -- ErrorInfo, ErrorCode, Result
+  options.rs          -- ClientOptions builder
+  rest.rs             -- Rest client, REST Channel, Presence, Push, PublishBuilder
+  auth.rs             -- Auth, TokenParams, TokenDetails, TokenRequest, AuthCallback
+  http.rs             -- RequestBuilder, PaginatedRequestBuilder, PaginatedResult, Response
+  realtime.rs         -- Realtime client, Connection
+  channel.rs          -- RealtimeChannel, Channels (realtime), RealtimePresence
+  protocol.rs         -- pub(crate) wire types; pub state enums re-exported via lib.rs
+  transport.rs        -- pub(crate) Transport trait
+  http_client.rs      -- pub(crate) HttpClient trait
+  mock_http.rs        -- pub(crate), #[cfg(test)] MockHttpClient
+  mock_ws.rs          -- pub(crate), #[cfg(test)] MockWebSocket/MockTransport
+  crypto.rs           -- CipherParams (copied verbatim)
+  stats.rs            -- Stats types (copied verbatim)
+  proxy.rs            -- pub(crate), #[cfg(test)] UTS proxy
+  json.rs             -- pub(crate) utility (copied verbatim)
+```
+
+## Crate Re-exports (`lib.rs`)
+
+```rust
+pub use error::{ErrorCode, ErrorInfo, Result};
+pub use options::ClientOptions;
+pub use rest::{Data, Message, PresenceMessage, PresenceAction, Rest};
+pub use rest::{MessageAction, Annotation, AnnotationAction};
+
+// State enums (defined in protocol.rs, re-exported here)
+pub use protocol::{
+    ConnectionState, ConnectionEvent, ConnectionStateChange,
+    ChannelState, ChannelEvent, ChannelStateChange,
+    ChannelMode,
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## `error.rs` — Error Type
+
+```rust
+pub type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, ErrorInfo>;
+
+/// Ably error type (TI1). Used everywhere: Result<T>, state changes, error_reason().
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct ErrorInfo {
+    pub code: Option<u32>,           // TI1: Ably error code
+    pub status_code: Option<u16>,    // TI1: HTTP status code
+    pub message: Option<String>,     // TI1: human-readable message
+    pub href: Option<String>,        // TI4: help URL
+    pub request_id: Option<String>,  // RSC7c: request identifier
+    pub detail: Option<HashMap<String, String>>,  // TI6: structured metadata
+    pub cause: Option<Box<ErrorInfo>>,  // TI1: underlying cause
+}
+
+/// Enum of known Ably error codes.
+pub enum ErrorCode { /* ~100 variants, same as current */ }
+
+impl ErrorInfo {
+    pub fn new(code: u32, message: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_status(code: u32, status_code: u16, message: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_cause(code: u32, message: impl Into<String>, cause: ErrorInfo) -> Self;
+}
+
+impl std::error::Error for ErrorInfo;
+impl Display for ErrorInfo;
+```
+
+**Key decision:** Single error type for the entire SDK. `ErrorInfo` is used in `Result<T>`, on state changes (`ConnectionStateChange.reason`), and in `error_reason()` accessors. Error chaining uses `cause: Option<Box<ErrorInfo>>` per TI1, not `Box<dyn Error>`.
+
+---
+
+## `options.rs` — Client Configuration
+
+```rust
+pub enum LogLevel { None, Error, Major, Minor, Micro }
+
+pub struct ClientOptions { /* all fields pub(crate) */ }
+
+impl ClientOptions {
+    // Constructors
+    pub fn new(key_or_token: &str) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_auth_url(url: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_auth_callback(callback: Arc<dyn AuthCallback>) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_key(key: auth::Key) -> Self;
+    pub fn with_token(token: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+
+    // Builder methods (all return Self or Result<Self>)
+    pub fn client_id(self, id: impl Into<String>) -> Result<Self>;
+    pub fn use_token_auth(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn token_details(self, td: auth::TokenDetails) -> Self;
+    pub fn environment(self, env: impl Into<String>) -> Result<Self>;
+    pub fn use_binary_protocol(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn idempotent_rest_publishing(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn default_token_params(self, params: auth::TokenParams) -> Self;
+    pub fn rest_host(self, host: impl Into<String>) -> Result<Self>;
+    pub fn fallback_hosts(self, hosts: Vec<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn http_request_timeout(self, timeout: Duration) -> Self;
+    pub fn http_max_retry_count(self, count: usize) -> Self;
+    pub fn add_request_ids(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn log_level(self, level: LogLevel) -> Self;
+    pub fn log_handler(self, handler: impl Fn(LogLevel, &str) + Send + Sync + 'static) -> Self;
+    pub fn tls(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn realtime_host(self, host: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn port(self, port: u32) -> Self;
+    pub fn auto_connect(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn echo_messages(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn queue_messages(self, v: bool) -> Self;
+    pub fn transport_params(self, params: Vec<(String, String)>) -> Self;
+    pub fn disconnected_retry_timeout(self, timeout: Duration) -> Self;
+    pub fn suspended_retry_timeout(self, timeout: Duration) -> Self;
+    pub fn realtime_request_timeout(self, timeout: Duration) -> Self;
+
+    // Factory methods
+    pub fn rest(self) -> Result<Rest>;
+    pub fn realtime(self) -> Result<Realtime>;
+}
+```
+
+**Removed from public API:**
+- `token_source()` — was internal, now `pub(crate)`
+- `LogHandlerFn` wrapper struct — replaced by direct closure in `log_handler()`
+- `with_auth_url` now takes `impl Into<String>` instead of `reqwest::Url`
+
+---
+
+## `rest.rs` — REST Client
+
+### Rest
+
+```rust
+pub struct Rest { /* inner: Arc<RestInner> */ }
+
+impl Rest {
+    pub fn new(key: &str) -> Result<Self>;
+    pub fn auth(&self) -> Auth<'_>;
+    pub fn channels(&self) -> Channels<'_>;       // returns ephemeral accessor
+    pub fn push(&self) -> Push<'_>;               // returns ephemeral accessor
+    pub fn options(&self) -> &ClientOptions;
+    pub fn stats(&self) -> PaginatedRequestBuilder<'_, Stats>;
+    pub async fn time(&self) -> Result<DateTime<Utc>>;
+    pub async fn batch_presence(&self, channels: &[&str]) -> Result<Vec<BatchPresenceResult>>;
+    pub async fn batch_publish(&self, specs: Vec<BatchPublishSpec>) -> Result<Vec<BatchPublishResult>>;
+    pub fn request(&self, method: &str, path: &str) -> RequestBuilder<'_>;
+}
+
+impl From<&str> for Rest;
+```
+
+**Changes:**
+- `request()` takes `&str` for method instead of `http::Method` (reqwest type)
+- `auth_options()` removed from public API (internal concern)
+- `paginated_request()` / `paginated_request_with_options()` become `pub(crate)`
+
+### REST Channels
+
+```rust
+pub struct Channels<'a> { /* pub(crate) fields */ }
+
+impl<'a> Channels<'a> {

+    pub fn annotations(&self) -> RestAnnotations<'_>;
+}
+```
+
+### REST Presence
+
+```rust
+pub struct Presence<'a> { /* pub(crate) fields */ }
+
+impl<'a> Presence<'a> {
+    pub fn get(&self) -> PresenceRequestBuilder<'_>;
+    pub fn history(&self) -> PaginatedRequestBuilder<'_, PresenceMessage>;
+}
+
+pub struct PresenceRequestBuilder<'a> { /* private */ }
+
+impl<'a> PresenceRequestBuilder<'a> {
+    pub fn limit(self, limit: u32) -> Self;
+    pub fn client_id(self, client_id: &str) -> Self;
+    pub fn connection_id(self, connection_id: &str) -> Self;
+    pub async fn send(self) -> Result<PaginatedResult<PresenceMessage>>;
+    pub fn pages(self) -> impl Stream<Item = Result<PaginatedResult<PresenceMessage>>> + 'a;
+}
+```
+
+### REST Annotations
+
+```rust
+pub struct RestAnnotations<'a> { /* pub(crate) fields */ }
+
+impl<'a> RestAnnotations<'a> {
+    pub async fn publish(&self, msg_serial: &str, annotation: &Annotation) -> Result<()>;
+    pub async fn delete(&self, msg_serial: &str, annotation: &Annotation) -> Result<()>;
+    pub fn get(&self, msg_serial: &str) -> PaginatedRequestBuilder<'_, Annotation>;
+}
+```
+
+### PublishBuilder (REST)
+
+```rust
+pub struct PublishBuilder<'a> { /* private */ }
+
+impl<'a> PublishBuilder<'a> {
+    pub fn id(self, id: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn name(self, name: impl Into<String>) -> Self;

+    pub fn binary(self, data: Vec<u8>) -> Self;
+    pub fn extras(self, extras: serde_json::Map<String, serde_json::Value>) -> Self;
+    pub fn client_id(self, client_id: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
+    pub fn params(self, params: &[(&str, &str)]) -> Self;
+    pub fn cipher(self, cipher: CipherParams) -> Self;
+    pub async fn send(self) -> Result<()>;
+}
+```
+
+### Push Admin
+
+```rust
+pub struct Push<'a> { /* pub(crate) */ }
+impl<'a> Push<'a> {
+    pub fn admin(&self) -> PushAdmin<'a>;
+}
+
+pub struct PushAdmin<'a> { /* pub(crate) */ }
+impl<'a> PushAdmin<'a> {
+    pub async fn publish(&self, recipient: serde_json::Value, data: serde_json::Value) -> Result<()>;

+    pub async fn remove_where(&self, filter: &[(&str, &str)]) -> Result<()>;
+}
+```
+
+### Data Types (unified, in rest.rs)
+
+```rust
+/// Message data payload.
+pub enum Data {
+    String(String),
+    JSON(serde_json::Value),
+    Binary(serde_bytes::ByteBuf),
+    None,
+}
+
+/// Message action for mutable messages.
+#[repr(u8)]
+pub enum MessageAction {
+    Create = 1,
+    Update = 2,
+    Delete = 3,
+    Annotation = 4,
+    MetaOccupancy = 5,
+}
+
+pub struct MessageOperation {

+    pub client_id: Option<String>,
+    pub name: Option<String>,
+    pub data: Data,
+    pub encoding: Option<String>,
+    pub extras: Option<serde_json::Value>,
+}
+
+/// Unified Message type for both REST and Realtime.
+pub struct Message {
+    pub id: Option<String>,
+    pub name: Option<String>,
+    pub data: Data,
+    pub encoding: Option<String>,
+    pub client_id: Option<String>,

+    pub serial: Option<String>,
+    pub version: Option<serde_json::Value>,
+    pub annotations: Option<serde_json::Value>,
+}
+
+/// Presence message (REST and Realtime).
+pub struct PresenceMessage {
+    pub id: Option<String>,
+    pub action: Option<PresenceAction>,
+    pub client_id: Option<String>,
+    pub connection_id: Option<String>,
+    pub data: Data,
+    pub encoding: Option<String>,
+    pub timestamp: Option<i64>,
+    pub extras: Option<serde_json::Value>,
+}
+
+pub enum PresenceAction { Absent, Present, Enter, Leave, Update }
+
+/// Channel options (cipher config).
+pub struct ChannelOptions {
+    // pub(crate) cipher: Option<CipherParams>,
+}
+
+/// Batch types.
+pub struct BatchPresenceResult {
+    pub channel: String,
+    pub presence: Vec<PresenceMessage>,
+}
+
+pub struct BatchPublishSpec {
+    pub channels: Vec<String>,
+    pub messages: Vec<Message>,
+}
+
+pub enum BatchPublishResult {
+    Success(BatchPublishSuccessResult),
+    Failure(BatchPublishFailureResult),
+}
+
+pub struct BatchPublishSuccessResult {
+    pub channel: String,
+    pub message_id: Option<String>,
+    pub serials: Option<Vec<Option<String>>>,
+}
+
+pub struct BatchPublishFailureResult {
+    pub channel: String,
+    pub error: ErrorInfo,
+}
+
+/// Token revocation types.
+pub struct RevokeTokensRequest {
+    pub targets: Vec<String>,
+    pub issued_before: Option<i64>,
+    pub allow_reauth_margin: Option<bool>,
+}
+
+pub struct RevokeTokensResponse {
+    pub success_count: u32,
+    pub failure_count: u32,
+    pub results: Vec<RevokeTokenResult>,

+
+pub struct RevokeTokenResult {
+    pub target: String,
+    pub issued_before: Option<i64>,
+    pub applies_at: Option<i64>,
+    pub error: Option<ErrorInfo>,
+}
+
+/// Wire format. pub(crate) — users set this via use_binary_protocol().
+// pub(crate) enum Format { MessagePack, JSON }
+```
+
+**Key changes from current:**
+- `Encoding` enum removed — replaced by `Option<String>` field on Message
+- `Format` enum is `pub(crate)` — not user-facing
+- `Decode` trait and `DecodeRaw` are `pub(crate)` — pagination internals
+- `Message` is the single type used everywhere (REST publish, REST history, Realtime subscribe)
+- `PresenceMessage.member_key()` stays as a method
+

+
+## `auth.rs` — Authentication
+
+```rust
+pub struct Key {
+    pub name: String,
+    pub value: String,
+}
+
+impl Key {
+    pub fn new(s: &str) -> Result<Self>;
+    pub fn sign(&self, params: &TokenParams) -> Result<TokenRequest>;
+}
+
+impl TryFrom<&str> for Key;
+
+pub struct Auth<'a> { /* pub(crate) rest */ }
+
+impl<'a> Auth<'a> {
+    // pub(crate) fn new(rest: &'a Rest) -> Self;  -- NOT pub
+    pub fn token_details(&self) -> Option<TokenDetails>;

+
+pub struct TokenParams {

+    pub client_id: Option<String>,
+    pub timestamp: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
+    pub nonce: Option<String>,
+}
+
+impl TokenParams {

+
+pub struct TokenRequest {

+    pub client_id: Option<String>,
+    pub timestamp: Option<i64>,
+    pub nonce: String,
+    pub mac: String,
+}
+
+pub struct TokenDetails {
+    pub token: String,
+    pub expires: Option<i64>,
+    pub issued: Option<i64>,
+    pub capability: Option<String>,
+    pub client_id: Option<String>,

+
+impl TokenDetails {
+    pub fn token(s: String) -> Self;
+}
+
+impl From<String> for TokenDetails;
+
+pub struct AuthOptions {
+    pub token: Option<String>,
+    pub headers: Option<Vec<(String, String)>>,   // NOT reqwest::HeaderMap
+    pub method: Option<String>,                    // NOT reqwest::Method
+    pub params: Option<Vec<(String, String)>>,     // NOT http::UrlQuery
+}
+
+/// What an auth callback can return.
+pub enum AuthToken {
+    Details(TokenDetails),
+    Request(TokenRequest),
+}
+
+/// Trait for auth callbacks.
+pub trait AuthCallback: Send + Sync {
+    fn token<'a>(
+        &'a self,
+        params: &'a TokenParams,
+    ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Send + Future<Output = Result<AuthToken>> + 'a>>;
+}
+```
+
+**Changes:**
+- `AuthOptions.headers` is `Option<Vec<(String, String)>>` instead of `Option<http::HeaderMap>`
+- `AuthOptions.method` is `Option<String>` instead of `http::Method`
+- `RequestOrDetails` renamed to `AuthToken` (clearer name)
+- `Credential` enum stays but becomes `pub(crate)` — it's internal routing
+- `Auth::new()` becomes `pub(crate)`
+- `Auth::authorize()` returns `Result<TokenDetails>` (not `Result<TokenDetails, ErrorInfo>`)

+    pub async fn next(self) -> Result<Option<PaginatedResult<T>>>;
+    pub async fn first(self) -> Result<Option<PaginatedResult<T>>>;
+}
+```
+
+**Changes:**
+- No reqwest re-exports
+- `Response::status_code()` returns `u16` not `reqwest::StatusCode`
+- `Response::content_type()` returns `Option<String>` not `Option<mime::Mime>`
+- `RequestBuilder::new()`, `Response::new()`, `PaginatedResult::new()` all `pub(crate)`
+- `RequestBuilder::authenticate()`, `basic_auth()`, `bearer_auth()` all `pub(crate)`

+## Design Decisions Summary
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| `Option<String>` for encoding | Simpler than `Encoding::None`/`Some`, no name clash with `Option` |
+| `&str` / `&[(&str, &str)]` for methods/headers/params | No dependency on reqwest types |
+| Single `ErrorInfo` type | Per TI1 spec. One type for `Result<T>`, state changes, and `cause` chaining. No separate `Error` wrapper |
+| `pub(crate)` protocol wire types | Users never construct `ProtocolMessage`; state enums are re-exported |
+| `pub(crate)` Decode/DecodeRaw/Format | Pagination internals |
+| `Transport` trait | Eliminates ~530 lines of duplicated connection loops |
+| `HttpClient` trait without `as_any` | Clean injection, no downcasting |
+| Builder for both REST and Realtime publish | Consistent API |
+| `publish_message()` convenience method | Migration path for simple positional-arg publish |
+| Single `Message` for REST and Realtime | No type conversion needed between the two |
+
+## REST State & Sync Design (Phase 3.0)
+
+### State Layout
+
+```rust
+pub struct Rest {
+    pub(crate) inner: Arc<RestInner>,
+}
+
+pub(crate) struct RestInner {
+    pub(crate) opts: ClientOptions,
+    pub(crate) http_client: Box<dyn HttpClient>,
+    pub(crate) auth_state: Mutex<AuthState>,
+    pub(crate) fallback_state: Mutex<Option<CachedFallback>>,
+}
+
+pub(crate) struct AuthState {
+    pub(crate) cached_token: Option<TokenDetails>,
+    pub(crate) saved_token_params: Option<TokenParams>,
+}
+
+pub(crate) struct CachedFallback {
+    pub(crate) host: String,
+    pub(crate) expires: Instant,
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `opts` and `http_client` are immutable after creation — no lock needed.
+- `auth_state` holds token cache and saved params from `authorize()` (RSA10j).
+- `fallback_state` holds the cached successful fallback host with TTL (RSC15f).
+- Separate locks because these are independent concerns on different code
+  paths — auth renewal never needs fallback state and vice versa. No lock
+  ordering issues since neither lock is ever held while acquiring the other.
+- Both locks are held only for short reads/writes (clone token out, swap
+  token in, read/write fallback host), never across async `.await` points,
+  so `std::sync::Mutex` is fine (no `tokio::sync::Mutex` needed).
+
+### Token Resolution (per-request)
+
+Every REST request needs an `Authorization` header. Resolution:
+
+```
+1. Check credential type from ClientOptions:
+   ┌─ Key (no useTokenAuth) ─────→ Basic auth header. Done.
+   │
+   └─ Token auth (any of: useTokenAuth, Callback, Url, TokenDetails, TokenRequest)
+      │
+      2. Lock auth_state. Read cached_token.
+      │
+      ├─ cached_token exists and not expired ──→ Bearer <token>. Done.
+      │
+      └─ cached_token missing or expired
+         │
+         3. Unlock auth_state (don't hold lock across I/O).
+         4. Obtain new token:
+            ├─ Key credential ──→ create_token_request() + POST /keys/.../requestToken
+            ├─ Callback ────────→ invoke callback → returns TokenDetails or TokenRequest
+            ├─ Url ─────────────→ GET/POST auth_url → parse response as TokenDetails/TokenRequest
+            └─ TokenRequest ────→ POST /keys/.../requestToken with the signed request
+         5. Lock auth_state. Store new token. Unlock.
+         6. Bearer <new_token>. Done.
+```
+
+**Edge case — concurrent requests during renewal:**
+Multiple requests may discover an expired token simultaneously. Each will
+attempt renewal independently. The last one to lock wins (stores its token).
+This is acceptable because:
+- Token requests are idempotent (new token each time, old one still valid until expiry).
+- Double-renewal wastes one HTTP call but doesn't cause incorrect behavior.
+- Avoiding this would require a "renewal in progress" semaphore that adds
+  complexity for negligible benefit in a REST client.
+

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Token renewal is attempted once per request, before fallback rotation.
+  If the renewed token also gets 401, the error is propagated (no infinite loop).
+- Fallback hosts are shuffled once at request start, not per-attempt (RSC15a).
+- `http_request_timeout` applies per-attempt, not total.
+- Fallback is only triggered by 5xx or network errors, never 4xx (RSC15l).
+- If `fallback_hosts` is empty, no retries on 5xx (RSC15m).
+
+### Fallback Host State (RSC15f)
+
+When a fallback host succeeds, it is cached with a TTL of
+`fallback_retry_timeout` (default 10 minutes). Subsequent requests use the
+cached fallback as the **first** host to try (before primary), until the TTL
+expires. After expiry, requests revert to trying the primary host first.
+
+```rust
+// On successful fallback:
+state.cached_fallback_host = Some(CachedFallback {
+    host: successful_host.clone(),
+    expires: Instant::now() + opts.fallback_retry_timeout,
+});
+
+// On request start:
+let preferred_host = state.cached_fallback_host
+    .as_ref()
+    .filter(|c| c.expires > Instant::now())
+    .map(|c| c.host.clone());
+// If preferred_host is Some, try it first; otherwise try primary.
+// If the cached host fails, clear it and fall through to normal fallback rotation.
+```
+
+This state lives in `RestInner.fallback_state` behind its own `Mutex`,
+independent of auth state.
+
+### Auth Methods
+
+```rust
+impl Auth<'_> {
+    // RSA8: Create a signed TokenRequest (local operation, no network)
+    pub fn create_token_request(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenRequest> {
+        // Requires Key credential
+        // Signs with HMAC-SHA256
+        // Generates nonce if not provided
+        // Uses server time if queryTime set (requires network call)
+    }
+
+    // RSA8: Request a token from Ably (network call)
+    pub async fn request_token(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenDetails> {
+        // 1. If AuthCallback/AuthUrl: obtain TokenRequest/TokenDetails from callback/url
+        // 2. If TokenRequest (from callback or Key): POST /keys/{keyName}/requestToken
+        // 3. Cache result in auth_state.cached_token
+        // 4. Return TokenDetails
+    }
+
+    // RSA10: Authorize — request_token + update saved params
+    pub async fn authorize(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenDetails> {
+        // 1. Save params as default for future renewals (RSA10j)
+        // 2. Call request_token(params, options)
+        // 3. Update cached_token
+        // 4. Return TokenDetails
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**`authorize()` saves params (RSA10j):** After `authorize(params, opts)`, any
+future automatic token renewal (triggered by 401) uses these saved params
+instead of requiring the caller to pass them again. This is stored in
+`auth_state.saved_token_params`.
+
+### Response Deserialization
+
+```
+Response body → detect format → deserialize
+  │
+  ├─ Content-Type: application/json → serde_json::from_slice
+  ├─ Content-Type: application/x-msgpack → rmp_serde::from_slice
+  └─ Missing/unknown → try JSON first, then msgpack (RSC8d)
+```
+
+The response format is independent of the request format — the server may
+respond in a different format than requested (e.g., error responses are
+always JSON). The deserializer checks the Content-Type header.
+
+### Pagination
+
+```rust
+pub(crate) struct PaginatedResultInner<T> {
+    rest: Rest,           // cloned Arc for follow-up requests
+    items: Vec<T>,
+    next_url: Option<String>,
+    first_url: Option<String>,
+}
+```
+
+Paginated results hold a `Rest` clone (cheap Arc bump) to make follow-up
+requests. The `next()` and `first()` methods use the Link header URLs
+directly, going through the same request pipeline (with auth, retry, etc.).
+
+### Thread Safety Summary
+
+| Component | Sync primitive | Reason |
+|-----------|---------------|--------|
+| `RestInner.opts` | None (immutable) | Set once at creation |
+| `RestInner.http_client` | None (trait obj, internally sync) | `HttpClient: Send + Sync` |
+| `RestInner.auth_state` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Token cache + saved params |
+| `RestInner.fallback_state` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Cached fallback host + TTL |
+| `MockHttpClient.queue` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Test response queue |
+| `MockHttpClient.requests` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Test request capture |
+
+Total: **2 locks** on the production REST client (auth + fallback, independent).
+
+### ClientOptions → Rest Construction
+
+```rust
+impl ClientOptions {
+    pub fn rest(self) -> Result<Rest> {
+        let http_client = self.http_client.take()
+            .unwrap_or_else(|| Box::new(ReqwestHttpClient::new(&self)));
+        let auth_state = AuthState {
+            cached_token: self.initial_token_details(),
+            saved_token_params: None,
+        };
+        Ok(Rest {
+            inner: Arc::new(RestInner {
+                opts: self,
+                http_client,
+                auth_state: Mutex::new(auth_state),
+            }),
+        })
+    }
+
+    // Test injection point
+    pub(crate) fn rest_with_http_client(self, client: Box<dyn HttpClient>) -> Result<Rest> {
+        // Same as rest() but uses provided client instead of reqwest
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If the user provided a token string or TokenDetails in ClientOptions, it becomes
+the initial `cached_token`. If they provided a Key (without `use_token_auth`),
+`cached_token` starts as `None` and basic auth is used directly.

+# Rewrite Progress
+
+## Phase 1: API Design — DONE
+- `DESIGN.md` written and reviewed
+- Key decisions: single `ErrorInfo` type (TI1 spec, no separate `Error` wrapper),
+  no reqwest in public API, `Transport` trait, clean `HttpClient` trait,
+  builder publish for REST and Realtime
+- Fields added from spec review: `request_id` (RSC7c), `detail` (TI6), `cause` (TI1)
+
+## Phase 2: Branch Setup + Stubs + Test Port — DONE
+
+### 2.1 Branch + Module Skeleton — DONE
+- Created `clean-rewrite` branch from `main`
+- Files written fresh:
+  - `error.rs` — unified `ErrorInfo` with TI1 fields, `ErrorCode` enum, `Result<T>` alias
+  - `transport.rs` — `Transport` + `TransportConnection` traits (pub(crate))
+  - `http_client.rs` — `HttpClient` trait (pub(crate)), no as_any
+  - `protocol.rs` — pub state enums, pub(crate) wire types
+  - `realtime.rs` — `Realtime`, `Connection`, `RealtimeAuth` stubs
+  - `channel.rs` — `Channels`, `RealtimeChannel`, `RealtimePresence` stubs
+  - `mock_http.rs` — `MockHttpClient` implementing `HttpClient` trait
+  - `mock_ws.rs` — `MockWebSocket` stubs
+- Files adapted from main:
+  - `crypto.rs` — updated Error→ErrorInfo references, removed tests (to be ported)
+  - `stats.rs` — copied verbatim
+  - `json.rs` — copied verbatim
+  - `options.rs` — rewritten: no reqwest refs, all fields pub(crate), builder pattern
+  - `auth.rs` — rewritten: `AuthToken` enum, `Credential` pub(crate), no reqwest types
+  - `rest.rs` — rewritten: unified `Message`/`Data`/`PresenceMessage`, all stubs
+  - `http.rs` — rewritten: no reqwest re-exports, `u16` status, `Option<String>` content_type
+- Removed `examples/` directory (old API references)
+- `Cargo.toml` updated with async-trait, tokio, tokio-tungstenite dependencies
+- `cargo check` passes, `cargo test --lib --no-run` passes (0 tests)
+
+### 2.2 Test Port — DONE
+- **Source:** `lib.rs.bak` (backup of original monolithic test module, 1,157 test attributes)
+- Extracted all tests using Python script (`/tmp/split_tests3.py`)
+- Split into 12 thematic test files by spec prefix:
+  - `tests_annotations.rs` (20 tests) — RTAN specs
+  - `tests_auth.rs` (123 tests) — RSA specs
+  - `tests_channel.rs` (196 tests) — RTL, RTS, PC specs
+  - `tests_connection.rs` (127 tests) — RTN, RTB specs
+  - `tests_misc.rs` (83 tests) — shared/general tests
+  - `tests_presence_rt.rs` (119 tests) — RTP specs
+  - `tests_push.rs` (44 tests) — RSH specs
+  - `tests_realtime_misc.rs` (48 tests) — RTC specs
+  - `tests_rest_channels.rs` (101 tests) — RSL, RSN specs
+  - `tests_rest_core.rs` (161 tests) — RSC, HP, BAR, etc.
+  - `tests_rest_presence.rs` (37 tests) — RSP specs
+  - `tests_types.rs` (98 tests) — TM, TP, TE, TK, etc.
+- Fixed 1,410 compilation errors across all files using 6 parallel agents
+- Each file has shared helper functions (mock_client, get_mock, phase8d_setup, setup_attached_channel)
+- 12 test functions have `todo!()` bodies (need APIs like `set_state` that will exist post-implementation)
+- `cargo check --tests` passes with 0 errors, 47 warnings
+- `cargo test --no-run` passes
+
+### 2.3 Verify Completeness — DONE
+- Original backup: 1,157 test attributes → split files: 1,157 test attributes (lossless)
+- `cargo test -- --list`: 1,157 tests, 0 benchmarks
+- 12 tests have `todo!()` bodies pending real implementation (rtl10a/b, rtp8g, rtp11b/d, rtp14a, rtp16c)
+- All tests will panic at runtime (stubs return `todo!()`) — by design for Phase 2
+
+## Phase 3: REST Implementation — DONE
+
+### 3.0 REST State Design — DONE
+- Written in DESIGN.md: RestInner with 2 independent Mutex (auth_state, fallback_state)
+- Token resolution, request pipeline, fallback host caching (RSC15f) all documented
+
+### 3.1–3.3 REST Core + Auth + Channels + Presence + Push — DONE
+- Implemented full request pipeline: URL construction, standard headers, auth resolution,
+  retry/fallback logic, token renewal on 401 (40140-40149), fallback host caching (RSC15f)
+- Implemented Auth: create_token_request (HMAC-SHA256 signing), request_token, authorize,
+  revoke_tokens, token caching, saved_token_params
+- Implemented REST channels: publish (builder), history, get_message, message_versions,
+  update/delete/append_message, annotations
+- Implemented REST presence: get, history
+- Implemented Push: admin publish, device registrations CRUD, channel subscriptions CRUD
+- Implemented pagination: PaginatedResult with Link header parsing, next/first navigation
+- Implemented RequestBuilder, Response with JSON/msgpack deserialization
+- HttpClient trait with as_any() for test mock downcasting (pub(crate) only)
+- MockHttpClient: captured_requests now returns cloned data
+- Files changed: rest.rs, auth.rs, http.rs, http_client.rs, options.rs, mock_http.rs, error.rs
+- Test results: 662 passed, 440 failed (all Realtime), 55 ignored
+  - tests_rest_core: 161/161 pass
+  - tests_rest_channels: 100/100 pass (1 ignored)
+  - tests_rest_presence: 37/37 pass
+  - tests_push: 44/44 pass
+  - tests_misc: 83/83 pass
+  - tests_auth: 119/123 pass (4 are Realtime tests)
+  - tests_types: 90/98 pass (8 are Realtime tests)
+
+## Source Branch Reference
+- Tests and implementations are on `uts-experiments` branch
+- Test file: `uts-experiments:src/lib.rs` lines ~4411–40609 (unit_tests module)
+- Integration tests: `uts-experiments:src/lib.rs` lines ~35–4410
+
+## Key API Differences (uts-experiments → clean-rewrite)
+- `Error` → `ErrorInfo` everywhere
+- `error::Error::new(ErrorCode::X, msg)` → `ErrorInfo::new(ErrorCode::X.code(), msg)`
+- `rest::Encoding::None` → encoding field is `Option<String>`, None means no encoding
+- `rest::Format` → `rest::Format` (same but pub(crate))
+- `http::Method::GET` etc → `"GET"` string
+- `http::HeaderMap` → `Vec<(String, String)>` or `&[(&str, &str)]`
+- `auth::RequestOrDetails` → `auth::AuthToken`
+- `auth::Credential` stays but is `pub(crate)`
+- `channel::Message` → `rest::Message` (unified)
+- `ErrorInfo` (old, limited) → `ErrorInfo` (new, full TI1 spec with cause/detail/request_id)

From: Paddy Byers <paddy.byers@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH 02/68] Add module skeleton, API stubs, and 1,157 ported tests

Restructure the SDK from a monolithic lib.rs into focused modules:
- protocol.rs: wire types (pub(crate)) and state enums (pub)
- transport.rs: Transport/TransportConnection traits (pub(crate))
- channel.rs: RealtimeChannel, Channels, RealtimePresence stubs
- realtime.rs: Realtime, Connection, RealtimeAuth stubs
- http_client.rs: HttpClient trait (pub(crate))
- mock_ws.rs: MockWebSocket/MockTransport test infrastructure
- presence.rs: PresenceMap, LocalPresenceMap

Port all 1,157 tests from the monolithic unit_tests module into 12
thematic test files split by spec prefix (RSC, RSA, RTL, RTP, etc.).
Tests compile but Realtime implementations are stubs returning todo!().

Remove old examples that referenced the previous API.

Subject: [PATCH 03/68] Implement REST client: request pipeline, auth,
 channels, presence, push

Full REST implementation with token auth, HMAC-SHA256 signing, fallback host
caching (RSC15f), 401 token renewal, pagination, message encoding/decoding,
push admin, and batch operations. 662 tests pass (all REST); 440 remaining
failures are Realtime stubs.

Subject: [PATCH 04/68] Complete Phase 3.4: REST integration tests + test file
 reorganization

- tests_rest_integration.rs: 83 tests (47 active vs sandbox, 36 ignored stubs)
- Reorganize unit tests into tests_rest_unit_* / tests_realtime_unit_* by UTS structure
- Add TokenAuthCannotRevokeTokens (40162) error code, use it in revoke_tokens (RSA17d)
- Add CLAUDE.md with test baseline and conventions

+
+## Protocol version
+
+The Ably protocol version is **6** (integer). This is sent as:
+- `x-ably-version: 6` header on all REST requests (RSC7e)
+- `v=6` query param on WebSocket connections (RTN2f)
+
+These are the same value. The versioning scheme changed from decimal (e.g. "1.2") to integer at v2 (CSV2a). Old docs and code may still reference "1.2" — that's wrong for current SDKs.
+
+## Test baseline
+
+670 pass / 440 fail / 58 ignored. The 440 failures are unimplemented stubs (`todo!()`). As phases complete, passes should increase and failures decrease. If the pass count drops after a change, something regressed.
+
+Run tests: `cargo test 2>&1 | tail -5`
+
+## Test organization
+
+Tests mirror the UTS (Universal Test Specification) directory structure:
+- `tests_rest_unit_*.rs` — REST unit tests (mocked HTTP)
+- `tests_rest_integration.rs` — REST integration tests (Ably sandbox) [planned]
+- `tests_realtime_unit_*.rs` — Realtime unit tests (mocked WebSocket)
+- `tests_realtime_integration.rs` — Realtime integration tests [planned]
+- `tests_proxy.rs` — proxy integration tests [planned]
+
+Filter by category: `cargo test tests_rest_unit` or `cargo test tests_realtime_unit`.
+
+UTS specs are at `../specification/uts/`. Each test function should reference its spec ID in the name (e.g. `rsc7e_x_ably_version_header`).
+
+## Mock injection pattern
+
+Tests use `ClientOptions::rest_with_mock(mock)` which:
+1. Clones the `MockHttpClient` (Arc-based) to get a handle
+2. Boxes the original as `Box<dyn HttpClient>`
+3. Stores the cloned handle on `RestInner.mock_handle` (behind `#[cfg(test)]`)
+
+This avoids `as_any()` downcasting on the `HttpClient` trait. The handle is retrieved in tests via `client.inner.mock_handle.as_ref().unwrap()`.
+
+## Spec items that are easy to get wrong
+
+- **RSC15f**: Cached fallback host. When a fallback succeeds, cache it and try it *first* on the next request. On failure, clear cache and include the primary host in the retry list.
+- **RSC1b**: Empty token string must be rejected at client construction time.
+- **RSC18**: Basic auth (API key without token auth) over non-TLS must be rejected.
+
+## Phased implementation
+
+See `DESIGN.md` for the API surface and the plan in `.claude/plans/noble-strolling-marble.md` for phase tracking. `PROGRESS.md` tracks what's done per phase.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- `pub(crate)` for all internal constructors, wire types, and protocol details
+- One `ErrorInfo` type (no separate `Error` vs `ErrorInfo`)
+- One `Message` type shared by REST and Realtime
+- Builder pattern for publish (both REST and Realtime)
+- MessagePack is the default format; JSON is opt-in via `use_binary_protocol(false)`

+# Critical Review: REST work to date (clean-rewrite branch)
+
+Date: 2026-06-10. Scope: REST implementation (`rest.rs`, `auth.rs`, `http.rs`, `options.rs`,
+`error.rs`, `http_client.rs`, `crypto.rs`), the 661 REST unit tests, and the 83 REST
+integration tests. Conducted as one direct architecture/code review plus three independent
+audits (spec compliance vs `specifications/features.md`; unit-test quality vs `uts/rest/unit/`;
+integration-test quality vs `uts/rest/integration/`).
+
+## Verdict
+
+The architecture goals of the rewrite are genuinely achieved: no reqwest types in the public
+API, wire types are `pub(crate)`, one `Message`/`ErrorInfo` type, a clean `HttpClient` trait
+without `as_any()`, and exactly **2 locks** on the REST client (auth state, fallback state),
+neither held across await points. The transport skeleton — fallback loop, format negotiation,
+error-body parsing, pagination, token-renewal-on-401 shape — is structurally close to spec.
+
+However, the implementation has **multiple production-breaking spec violations**, concentrated
+in the auth layer and the newer message features, and the test suite did not catch them because
+a significant minority of unit tests are vacuous, mislabeled with UTS IDs they don't test, or
+written to match the implementation rather than the UTS. "All tests green" currently
+overstates the quality of the REST library considerably.
+
+## A. Implementation findings
+
+### High severity (production-breaking)
+
+| # | Spec | Location | Finding |
+|---|------|----------|---------|
+| A1 | TM5 | rest.rs:1263-1272, 694, 720 | `MessageAction` wire values off-by-one: spec is CREATE=0, UPDATE=1, DELETE=2, META=3... `update_message` sends action=2 = **DELETE on the wire**; `delete_message` sends 3 = META. |
+| A2 | RSA8c | rest.rs:243-249, 253-255 | `Credential::Url` has no arm in `obtain_token` → every authUrl client fails all requests with 40171. `Credential::TokenRequest` likewise unusable. |
+| A3 | RSA4/RSA7d/RSA7e2 | rest.rs:176-178, 194 | key+clientId silently forces token auth (not a spec trigger), requests an **anonymous** token (`TokenParams::default()`, clientId never set per RSA7d), yet still sends `X-Ably-ClientId` → server-side mismatch rejection. key+clientId clients cannot publish. |
+| A4 | RSA5/RSA6 | auth.rs:41-42 | `create_token_request` always injects ttl=3600000 and capability=`{"*":["*"]}` instead of omitting → 40160 on every token request for restricted keys. |
+| A5 | RSA10a | rest.rs:176-181 | `get_auth_header` never consults `cached_token` for Key (basic) or TokenDetails credentials → `authorize()` does not switch the client to token auth; refreshed tokens never used. |
+| A6 | RSL5a | rest.rs:931-933, 1362-1369 | `PublishBuilder::cipher()` is a literal no-op; channel cipher never consulted; decode never decrypts. Messages on "encrypted" channels go out in **plaintext, silently**. `crypto.rs` is implemented but wired to nothing. |
+| A7 | RSL1k1/TO3n/RSC22d | options.rs:318; rest.rs:935-987 | Idempotent REST publishing: default is `false` (spec: `true`) and the flag is read nowhere — no library-generated message IDs at all. |
+| A8 | RSL15b | rest.rs:682-746 | update/delete/append bodies contain only `action`/`version` — user message fields never sent, so updateMessage cannot change content. |
+| A9 | RSC24 | rest.rs:96-100 | `batch_presence` sends one `channels` param per channel instead of a single comma-separated value → multi-channel queries return wrong results. |
+| A10 | REC1/REC2/TO3k8 | options.rs:8, 319-325, 108-111 | Host defaults are deprecated 1.2-era domains (`rest.ably.io`, `[a-e].ably-realtime.com`); no `endpoint` option exists; `environment()` generates legacy domains. The current endpoint spec (REC) is unimplemented. |
+| A11 | RSA17/v3 | auth.rs:190-197 | `revoke_tokens` parses a plain array; with `X-Ably-Version >= 3` the server returns a `BatchResult` envelope `{successCount, failureCount, results}` → likely fails against the real server. Masked because no active test exercises the server path. |
+
+### Medium severity
+
+| # | Spec | Location | Finding |
+|---|------|----------|---------|
+| A12 | RSC7c | rest.rs:282-287, 382, 453 | request_id regenerated inside `build_url` per attempt → different ID on each fallback retry (spec: must persist). Also never attached to `ErrorInfo.request_id` on failure. |
+| A13 | RSA10g/j | auth.rs:145-159 | `authorize` merges params with saved (spec: supplied args supersede entirely) and stores `timestamp` (spec: excluded) → replayed stale timestamps → eventual 40104. |
+| A14 | RSA10k/RSA9d | auth.rs:161-168; options.rs:27 | `queryTime` never read; server time queried unconditionally on key authorize; no clock-offset caching. `query_time` and `idempotent_rest_publishing` are dead fields. |
+| A15 | TO3l6 | rest.rs:337-503 | `httpMaxRetryDuration` (default 15s) never enforced — retry sequence unbounded by elapsed time. `http_open_timeout` also unused. |
+| A16 | HP1-HP8/RSC19f | http.rs:135-178 | `request()` returns plain `Response`: no items/pagination/success/errorCode/errorMessage/headers; non-2xx becomes `Err` (spec: inspectable response object). No `version` parameter (RSC19f1). |
+| A17 | RSL6b | rest.rs:1373-1421, 1470-1517 | Decode failure handling: unknown mid-chain encoding restores the *entire original* encoding string after right-hand steps already applied; failed json/base64 steps silently swallowed and encoding dropped. Decode logic duplicated between Message and PresenceMessage. |
+| A18 | RSL4c1 | rest.rs:956-960, 1159-1166 | Binary always base64'd even under msgpack (should be native); conversely `Message`-struct serialization emits raw byte arrays under JSON (invalid wire format for batch publish / annotations). |
+| A19 | RSA8e/AO2 | auth.rs:107-137, 353-359 | `AuthOptions` arguments ignored everywhere; type lacks key/authUrl/authCallback/queryTime; `request_token` mutates library token state (contra RSA4d1); default `authMethod` reads as None not "GET". |
+| A20 | RSA15 | (absent) | No clientId-compatibility validation between options and obtained TokenDetails. |
+| A21 | RSA4b1 | rest.rs:184-192 | Cached token used regardless of expiry; renewal purely reactive on 401. |
+| A22 | RSC2/TO3b/c | options.rs:167-173 | `log_level()`/`log_handler()` are silent no-ops; the SDK has no logging at all. |
+| A23 | hygiene | auth.rs:14-19, 87-91 | `Key` derives Debug and Display prints `name:secret` — credential material leaks into logs/error chains. |
+
+### Low severity
+- RSC15l3: retriable window `>=500` unbounded (spec: 500-504) — rest.rs:557-577.
+- RSC15a: primary-retry after cached-fallback failure consumes a fallback slot; primary success cached as "fallback".
+- RSA4a2: non-renewable token error surfaced with original code, not 40171.
+- RSL1i: size check measures serialized body, not the TM6 field-sum.
+- RSC8e: unsupported-content-type errors lack status/body excerpt detail.
+- TG5: `first()` returns None when no Link header instead of refetching page 1.
+- `Channels::name(_name)` parameter naming; `accept_type()` duplicates `content_type()`; body cloned per attempt.
+
+## B. Unit test suite findings (661 tests)
+
+Quality is bimodal: channel/presence/push files are strong (method+path+params+body assertions);
+auth/client/types files contain the weak population. Full detail in the audit; headlines:
+
+1. **Vacuous tests** (cannot fail): rsa15a/b/c (compare locally-built structs, never call SDK),
+   rsa8c/rsa8d "callback/url invoked" (identical bodies, no callback configured, zero assertions),
+   rsa4f (string-length tautology), rsa8c_with_post/headers/params (AuthOptions field read-back),
+   all logging tests (RSC2/TO3b/TO3c assert nothing — "verify it compiled"), rec3a/rec3b
+   (assert `len >= 3`, true in every scenario), rsa14 (passes even if renewal broken),
+   rsa4d variants asserting `Failed || Connected`, ~20 construct-and-read-back type tests.
+2. **Spec-inverted**: `rsc22_empty_messages_error` asserts `is_ok()` where UTS requires rejection.
+3. **Falsely-labeled spec IDs** (IDs "covered" by grep but behavior untested):
+   REC1b3/REC1b4/REC2c2/REC2c3/REC2c4/REC3/REC3a/REC3b (real UTS meanings: routing policy,
+   endpoint conflicts, connectivity-check URL); RSL7/RSL8/RSL8a (channel status endpoint +
+   ChannelDetails/CHM2 — zero coverage); RSN2/RSN3a/RSN4a/RSN4b (collection exists/release/
+   iterate/identity semantics — only name-string comparisons; note: REST `Channels` is an
+   ephemeral accessor, so identity semantics need a design decision).
+4. **Conditional-assertion holes**: `if let Some(body)`/`if reqs.len() >= 2` patterns that pass
+   with zero assertions when the SDK regresses (incl. rsl1k2 idempotent-id format — exactly the
+   regression it should catch).
+5. **Both behaviors pinned green**: rsa9h asserts ttl=3600000/capability=wildcard defaults
+   (the A4 bug) while tk1 asserts `TokenParams::default().ttl == None`.
+6. **Hygiene**: 7 copies of mock helpers + unused 100-line TestAuthCallback per file; ~40
+   near-duplicate test pairs; stale line-number comments from the old monolith; realtime tests
+   in REST files; 12 `#[ignore]`d stubs with empty bodies that pass vacuously if un-ignored.
+7. **Currently failing** (3): stale rsa17d duplicate (expects 40106; spec says 40162), stale
+   rsh1b3 path expectation, ao2b authMethod default (impl returns None; UTS says "GET").
+8. **Coverage gaps vs UTS** (487 IDs in uts/rest/unit): channel status/metrics (RSL8/CHM2),
+   logging (5 IDs), request() HP behaviors (RSC19d/e — 14 IDs), fallback/endpoint (14 IDs),
+   authUrl HTTP-level behavior, RSA15 validation, batch BPR2c/RSC22 rejections, RSN collection
+   semantics, RSH7 (12 ignored stubs).
+
+## C. Integration test findings (47 active, 36 ignored)
+
+1. **Wrong sandbox**: all tests run against `sandbox-rest.ably.io`; every UTS file mandates
+   `sandbox.realtime.ably-nonprod.net` via `endpoint: "nonprod:sandbox"` (blocked on A10).
+2. **msgpack variant never run**: `use_binary_protocol(false)` hardcoded; UTS requires each
+   publish/history/presence/mutable test under both json and msgpack. Binary protocol has zero
+   integration coverage.
+3. **Payload assertions skipped**: rsl2a (no data checks at all), rsp3a2 (raw-string fixture
+   data unchecked), rsl1k5 (no first-write-wins data check + first-non-empty poll race).
+4. **Coverage claim honest but soft**: 84/84 UTS IDs mapped, but 37/84 are `todo!()` stubs.
+5. **Stub audit**: `rsa8_auth_callback_with_token_request` ignore reason is **false** (fully
+   implementable today); `rsl2b3_history_time_range` blocker is effort not capability;
+   `rsa8_capability_restriction` implementable in its native-token variant. The ably-common
+   submodule is stale vs the UTS (missing keys[4] revocableTokens and the `mutable` namespace)
+   — updating it unblocks ~10 stubs including the revoke server-path tests that would expose A11.
+6. **No app teardown** (UTS specifies DELETE app after all tests); silent poll-timeout pattern
+   hurts failure diagnosability; first-page-only containment check in rsh1c2.
+
+## D. Root cause and lessons for the realtime phase
+
+The 1,157 ported tests created an illusion of safety. The failure modes were:
+- Tests **ported from an implementation** (uts-experiments branch) rather than re-derived from
+  the UTS, so implementation bugs were pinned green (A4 ⇄ rsa9h).
+- Spec-ID-in-name treated as coverage; traceability checks were grep-based.
+- Weak-assertion patterns (`if let Some`, `is_err()`, `A || not-A`) pass on regression.
+- Features with no negative-path integration coverage (msgpack, revoke server path, encryption)
+  silently rotted or were never wired.
+
+For realtime: spec-fidelity of tests must be verified against the UTS pseudo-code (not test
+names), and each implementation stage needs at least one integration-level proof against the
+real service before the stage is called done.

Subject: [PATCH 05/68] R1: fix wire-protocol bugs (TM5 actions, RSL15 bodies,
 RSC24, RSL4c, batch/revoke envelopes)

- MessageAction values now match TM5 (update no longer sends DELETE on the wire)
- update/delete/append send full RSL4-encoded message fields; 40003 on missing serial;
  optional MessageOperation; UpdateDeleteResult preserves null versionSerial (UDR2a)
- batch_presence: comma-joined channels param + BatchResult envelope response (BAR2)
- batch publish/presence results discriminate Success/Failure on error key
- batch_publish validates empty specs/channels/messages (RSC22), encodes per RSL4 (RSC22c6)
- revoke_tokens parses v3 BatchResult envelope with legacy array fallback (RSA17c)
- binary payloads: native bin under msgpack, base64 under JSON (RSL4c)
- AuthOptions::default().method is GET (AO2d); stale tests fixed (rsa17d, rsh1b3, tm3)
- Tests rewritten UTS-faithful from uts/rest/unit specs; legacy duplicates removed

Unit: 724 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 92 ignored. Integration: 47/47 vs sandbox.

+## Phase R: REST Remediation (plan rev 2)
+
+### R1 Wire-Protocol Correctness — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- TM5: MessageAction wire values fixed to spec (CREATE=0, UPDATE=1, DELETE=2, META=3,
+  SUMMARY=4, APPEND=5). Previously update_message sent DELETE on the wire.
+- RSL15: update/delete/append_message rewritten — op is Option<&MessageOperation>,
+  serial-missing errors with 40003, body carries full message fields encoded per RSL4,
+  version only when op provided, UpdateDeleteResult fields now Option<String> (UDR2a
+  null preserved). New shared send_message_patch.
+- RSL4c: new Message::encode_for_wire(format) — JSON data stringified + "json" encoding;
+  binary base64 under JSON, native bin under MessagePack. Used by PublishBuilder,
+  message PATCH, and batch publish.
+- RSC24: batch_presence sends comma-joined channels param; returns BatchPresenceResponse
+  envelope (success_count/failure_count/results) with Success/Failure variants.
+- Batch result parsing: BatchPublishResult/BatchPresenceResult deserialization
+  discriminates on presence of "error" key (fixes untagged-serde bug; bpr1b/c un-ignored).
+- RSC22: batch_publish rejects empty specs/channels/messages with 40003 client-side;
+  accepts object-or-array responses.
+- RSA17: revoke_tokens parses BatchResult envelope (v3+), legacy array fallback.
+- AuthOptions::default() method now Some("GET") (AO2d).
+- Stale tests fixed: rsa17d (40162), rsh1b3 (path with deviceId), tm3 (action=1 is UPDATE).
+- Tests rewritten UTS-faithful: RSL15 block (13 tests incl. new rsl15c no-mutate, rsl15d),
+  batch presence block (RSC24_1/2/3, BAR2_1/3, BGR2_1/2, BGF2_1, mixed, error x2),
+  rsa17c envelope test, rsl4c x2; legacy-format duplicates deleted.
+- Test status: unit 724 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 92 ignored;
+  integration 47/47 pass against sandbox.
+- Files: rest.rs, auth.rs, tests_rest_unit_{channel,client,auth,push,types}.rs,
+  tests_realtime_unit_channel.rs, CLAUDE.md
+- Next: R2 auth layer rewrite.

Subject: [PATCH 06/68] R2: rewrite auth layer against UTS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- authUrl (RSA8c) implemented: GET/POST, headers/params, TokenRequest/TokenDetails/JWT
  responses; Credential::TokenRequest exchangeable; AuthToken::Token for JWT callbacks
- key+clientId keeps basic auth with X-Ably-ClientId (RSA7e2); clientId no longer
  forces token auth (RSA4); header sent only under basic auth
- create_token_request omits ttl/capability when unspecified (RSA5/RSA6) — fixes
  40160 for restricted keys; effective params merge defaultTokenParams + clientId (RSA7d)
- authorize() forces token auth (RSA10a), replaces stored params/options (RSA10g/h,
  key preserved RSA10i), never stores timestamp; request_token is stateless (RSA8f)
- queryTime honored with cached clock offset (RSA9d/RSA10k); time() unauthenticated (RSC16)
- pre-emptive renewal of expired tokens (RSA4b1); 40171 when unrenewable (RSA4a2)
- RSA15 clientId compatibility at construction and runtime (40102)
- RSA17d_2 key+useTokenAuth revoke rejection; Key Debug/Display redact the secret
- AuthOptions is full AO2; auth signatures take Option<&TokenParams>/Option<&AuthOptions>
- vacuous auth tests replaced with 18 UTS-derived behavior tests

Unit: 731 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 92 ignored. Integration: 47/47 vs sandbox.

+### R2 Auth Layer Rewrite — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- AuthOptions now full AO2 shape (key, token, tokenDetails, authCallback, authUrl,
+  authMethod, authHeaders, authParams, queryTime); default authMethod GET.
+  API signatures: create_token_request/request_token/authorize take
+  (Option<&TokenParams>, Option<&AuthOptions>); create_token_request is async (queryTime).
+- New AuthConfig resolution: client credential overlaid with authorize()-saved options
+  (RSA10h replace-with-source semantics, RSA10i key preserved) and per-call options.
+- authUrl (RSA8c) implemented: GET/POST, authHeaders/authParams, TokenParams merge
+  (RSA8c1a/b), JSON TokenDetails/TokenRequest (exchanged) or plain-text JWT responses,
+  via raw http_client (no Ably pipeline). Credential::TokenRequest exchangeable.
+- AuthToken::Token variant for JWT-string callbacks (RSA8d).
+- Auth-mode selection (RSA4): basic only for key-only clients; clientId is NOT a
+  token-auth trigger; key+clientId uses basic + X-Ably-ClientId (RSA7e2, header now
+  basic-only); authorize() forces token auth thereafter (RSA10a).
+- Token acquisition: effective params merge defaultTokenParams + options.clientId
+  (RSA5c/6c, RSA7d, RSA12a); ttl/capability omitted + signed as empty when unspecified
+  (RSA5/RSA6 — restricted keys now work); pre-emptive expiry renewal (RSA4b1);
+  40171 client-side when unrenewable (RSA4a2); RSA15 clientId compatibility at
+  construction and on every obtained token (40102).
+- authorize(): params/options replace stored (timestamp never stored, RSA10g);
+  updates tokenDetails (RSA10g); request_token no longer mutates library state (RSA8f).
+- queryTime (RSA9d/RSA10k): /time queried with offset cached; time() is now
+  UNAUTHENTICATED per RSC16 (UTS: must not send Authorization).
+- RSA17d_2: key+useTokenAuth revoke rejected 40162. Key Debug/Display redact secret.
+- Tests: vacuous auth tests replaced with 18 UTS-derived tests (authUrl x7, RSA15 x3,
+  RSA4a2, RSA4b1, RSA12a/b, RSA7d, RSA1, RSA8d, RSA17d_2), all passing first run;
+  rsa9h/rsa9-depth tests fixed to RSA5/RSA6 null semantics; ~20 tests switched from
+  time() to authenticated requests; rsa16 tests fixed per RSA8f.
+- Test status: unit 731 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 92 ignored;
+  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
+- Files: auth.rs (rewritten), rest.rs (auth machinery), options.rs, http.rs,
+  tests_rest_unit_{auth,client,misc,types}.rs, tests_rest_integration.rs
+- Next: R3 publish features (idempotency, encryption, RSL1n serials).

Subject: [PATCH 07/68] R3: implement publish features (idempotency,
 encryption, multi-message, PublishResult)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- RSL1k: idempotent publishing default true; base64url(9B):index ids, one base per
  publish, client ids preserved; RSC22d per-spec ids in batch publish
- RSL5/RSL6: encryption wired end-to-end — shared encode/decode codec, cipher from
  builder or channel, decrypting history/get_message/versions/presence/pagination;
  cipher() is no longer a silent no-op
- RSL6b: failed/unknown decode steps leave the unprocessed chain prefix
- RSL1c/RSL1n: multi-message publish via messages(); send() returns PublishResult
  with per-message serials (null = conflated, PBR2a)
- RSL1i: TM6 size calculation; RSL4a: top-level JSON scalars rejected (40013)
- Tests: strict UTS-derived idempotency/serials/encryption tests incl. canonical
  ably-common crypto fixtures (128/256-bit, all items)

Unit: 742 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored. Integration: 47/47 vs sandbox.

+### R3 Publish Features — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- RSL1k idempotent publishing: default true (TO3n); library ids base64url(9 random
+  bytes):index, one base per publish, client ids preserved, mixed batches per UTS;
+  RSC22d applied per BatchPublishSpec.
+- RSL5/RSL6 encryption: shared encode_data_for_wire/decode_data codec; cipher threaded
+  through PublishBuilder (builder override or channel cipher), history, get_message,
+  message_versions, presence get/history, PaginatedResult pages. PublishBuilder::cipher
+  no longer a no-op. Message/PresenceMessage decode unified (duplication removed).
+- RSL6b: decode failure/unknown step leaves the UNPROCESSED chain prefix (applied
+  right-hand steps are not restored).
+- RSL1c/RSL1n: PublishBuilder::messages() for multi-message publish (single message →
+  object body, multiple → array); send() returns PublishResult {serials, message_id}
+  with null-serial (conflation) preservation (PBR2a).
+- RSL1i: size check now per TM6 (name + clientId + extras + data), pre-encoding.
+- RSL4a: top-level JSON scalars (number/bool) rejected with 40013.
+- Tests: conditional-assert idempotency tests rewritten strict (id format, serial
+  increments, unique bases, mixed batch); RSL1n result tests (single/batch/null);
+  RSL5 encrypt round-trip x2; RSL6 history decrypt; RSL6b residual; RSP5g presence
+  decrypt; canonical ably-common crypto fixtures (128+256, all items, both files) —
+  NOTE: the UTS RSP5g fixture string is corrupt (truncation of the ably-common one);
+  flag upstream.
+- Test status: unit 742 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored;
+  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
+- DESIGN.md not yet updated for API changes (PublishResult, messages(), auth
+  signatures) — do at end of Phase R.
+- Next: R4 endpoint spec + request pipeline.

Subject: [PATCH 08/68] R4: endpoint spec (REC1/REC2), request pipeline fixes,
 HttpPaginatedResponse, logging

- endpoint option with hostname/routing-policy/nonprod resolution; new default
  domains main.realtime.ably.net + main.[a-e].fallback.ably-realtime.com
- request_id stable across retries and attached to ErrorInfo (RSC7c)
- httpMaxRetryDuration enforced (TO3l6); retriable bounded to 500-504 (RSC15l3);
  http_open_timeout wired as connect timeout; primary no longer cached as fallback
- Rest::request() returns HttpPaginatedResponse (HP1-8): normalised items,
  success/errorCode/errorMessage, pagination, per-request version (RSC19f1);
  HTTP errors inspectable rather than Err; raw mode still token-renews on 401
- RSC2 logging: LogLevel filtering + log_handler with request/retry/error events

Unit: 751 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored. Integration: 47/47 vs sandbox.

 - DESIGN.md not yet updated for API changes (PublishResult, messages(), auth
   signatures) — do at end of Phase R.
 - Next: R4 endpoint spec + request pipeline.
+
+### R4 Endpoint Spec + Request Pipeline — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- REC1/REC2: new `endpoint` option (hostname | routing policy | "nonprod:[id]");
+  primary domain resolution at build time with REC1b1 mutual-exclusion checks;
+  defaults now main.realtime.ably.net + main.[a-e].fallback.ably-realtime.com;
+  environment() maps to [env].realtime.ably.net (REC1c2); rest_host/realtime_host
+  deprecated hostname overrides (REC1d, no fallbacks per REC2c6); explicit
+  fallbackHosts always win (REC2a2). ClientOptions host fields are now Options
+  with resolve_hosts() populating primary_host/resolved_fallback_hosts.
+- RSC7c: one request_id per logical request, stable across fallback retries,
+  attached to ErrorInfo.request_id on failure.
+- TO3l6: httpMaxRetryDuration enforced as an elapsed-time budget on retries;
+  RSC15l3: retriable statuses bounded to 500-504; primary host success is no
+  longer cached as a "fallback"; http_open_timeout wired to reqwest connect_timeout.
+- HP1-HP8/RSC19: Rest::request() now returns HttpPaginatedResponse — items
+  normalised (object→1, array→n), statusCode/success/errorCode/errorMessage from
+  X-Ably-Errorcode/-Errormessage headers, headers(), Link-header pagination
+  (next/first); HTTP error statuses are inspectable responses, not Errs;
+  version() per-request X-Ably-Version override (RSC19f1); token renewal on 401
+  token errors preserved in raw mode.
+- RSC2/TO3b/TO3c: logging implemented — LogLevel ordering, log_handler invoked
+  with (level, message); request logs carry method/host/path; errors at Error
+  level; None suppresses all. (Structured context objects deferred.)
+- Tests: legacy-domain expectations migrated to REC domains; falsely-IDed
+  REC/HP tests rewritten to real behaviors (rec1b1/b2/b3/b4, rec1d1/d2, rsc7c x2,
+  to3l6, hp2/hp3 request, rsc19f1 override, rsc19e per HP4/5); logging tests are
+  real; renewal tests moved to typed requests with exact request-count asserts.
+- Test status: unit 751 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored;
+  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
+- Next: R5 remaining unit-test repair, then R6 integration hardening.

Subject: [PATCH 09/68] R5: repair unit-test suite; implement channel status
 (RSL8/CHM2) and RSAN1c4

- Channel::status() + ChannelDetails/ChannelStatus/ChannelOccupancy/ChannelMetrics
  with UTS tests; set_options() applies cipher (RSL7)
- annotation publish generates idempotent ids (RSAN1c4)
- realtime-dependent tests re-homed to realtime files: tests_rest_* is fully green
- remaining vacuous/conditional tests made strict or deleted; duplicates removed
- DESIGN.md amended for all Phase R API changes + RSN ephemeral-channel decision

Unit: 746 pass / 439 fail (all realtime stubs) / 91 ignored.

+## Phase R Amendments (2026-06-10)
+
+API changes made during REST remediation; supersede earlier sections where they conflict.
+
+### Auth
+- `AuthOptions` is the full AO2 shape: key, token, token_details, auth_callback,
+  auth_url, method (default "GET"), headers, params, query_time.
+- `create_token_request` / `request_token` / `authorize` take
+  `(Option<&TokenParams>, Option<&AuthOptions>)`; `create_token_request` is async
+  (queryTime may query /time). `request_token` never mutates library auth state
+  (RSA8f); `authorize` saves params/options and forces token auth (RSA10a).
+- `AuthToken` gains a `Token(String)` variant (JWT strings from callbacks).
+- `Auth::client_id()` added (RSA7/RSA12).
+- `AuthState` carries saved_auth_options, forced_token_auth, time_offset_ms.
+  Still a single Mutex; never held across await.
+
+### Publish
+- `PublishBuilder::send()` returns `PublishResult { serials: Vec<Option<String>>,
+  message_id }` (RSL1n/PBR2). `messages(Vec<Message>)` enables multi-message
+  publish (single → object body, multiple → array). `cipher()` is real (RSL5)
+  and overrides the channel cipher.
+- Idempotent ids: `base64url(9 random bytes):index` per publish (RSL1k1),
+  default on (TO3n).
+
+### request()
+- `Rest::request()` returns `HttpPaginatedResponse` (HP1-HP8): items normalised
+  to an array, status_code/success/error_code/error_message/headers accessors,
+  Link-header pagination, per-request `version()` override (RSC19f1). HTTP error
+  statuses are inspectable responses, NOT Err. The old `Response` type remains
+  only as an internal shape.
+
+### Hosts (REC1/REC2)
+- New `endpoint()` option (hostname | routing policy | "nonprod:[id]").
+  `environment()`/`rest_host()`/`realtime_host()` are deprecated overrides and
+  mutually exclusive with it. `resolve_hosts()` computes `primary_host` +
+  `resolved_fallback_hosts` at build time. Defaults: main.realtime.ably.net,
+  main.[a-e].fallback.ably-realtime.com.
+
+### Channel
+- `Channel::status()` → `ChannelDetails { channel_id, status: ChannelStatus
+  { is_active, occupancy: ChannelOccupancy { metrics: ChannelMetrics } } }`
+  (RSL8/CHD2/CHS2/CHO2/CHM2). `Channel::set_options(ChannelOptions)` updates the
+  handle's cipher (RSL7).
+
+### Decision: REST channel collection semantics (RSN)
+The UTS channels_collection tests assume stored channel instances with identity
+semantics (get returns the same instance; release() removes it). This SDK keeps
+REST channels as cheap ephemeral accessors (`Channels<'a>::get` returns a value
+borrowing `&Rest`): Rust has no object identity to observe, all channel state a
+user can set (cipher) lives on the handle, and a stored collection would force
+`Arc<RealtimeChannel>`-style sharing onto stateless REST usage. Identity/release
+semantics will exist where they matter — the realtime `Channels` collection
+(Phase 4/5). The RSN-labelled REST tests assert name consistency only and do not
+claim identity coverage.
+
+### Logging (RSC2)
+- `log_level(LogLevel)` + `log_handler(Fn(LogLevel, &str))`, severity-filtered
+  (None suppresses all). Request logs carry method/host/path; failures log at
+  Error. Structured context objects (TO3c) are deferred.

   integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
 - Next: R5 remaining unit-test repair, then R6 integration hardening.
+
+### R5 Unit-Test Suite Repair — DONE (2026-06-10)
+(Bulk of R5 was done incrementally inside R1-R4: vacuous auth tests replaced with
+18 UTS tests, inverted RSC22 fixed, falsely-IDed REC/HP/logging tests rewritten,
+batch duplicates removed, idempotency conditional-asserts made strict.)
+This pass added:
+- RSL8/RSL8a/CHD2/CHS2/CHO2/CHM2: Channel::status() implemented + ChannelDetails
+  type tree; 5 UTS tests (endpoint, encoding, details, all-metrics, zero/missing).
+- RSL7: Channel::set_options() applies cipher to subsequent operations (tested).
+- RSAN1c4: annotation publish generates idempotent ids (was hidden by a
+  conditional assert; now implemented + strict test).
+- Realtime-dependent tests moved out of REST files (rsa4c2/c3, rsa4d x2 →
+  tests_realtime_unit_client; tm2* x8 → tests_realtime_unit_channel). Every
+  tests_rest_* test now passes.
+- Vacuous tests fixed/deleted: rsa5c/rsa6c (now assert TokenRequest flow),
+  rsa5d/rsa6d (real override tests), rsa10a tautology deleted, rsa5b/rsa6b depth
+  tautologies deleted, rsc15j + rsc7c-unique + rsc22c-empty conditionals strict.
+- Duplicates removed: rec1b2==rec1b1 (kept as rsc15l_fallback_on_network_failure),
+  rsc15m triplicate → 1, rsa9c==rsa5b, version-header triplicate → 2.
+- DESIGN.md updated with all Phase R API amendments + the RSN ephemeral-channel
+  decision. CLAUDE.md baseline updated (746/439/91; REST fully green).
+- Deferred (recorded): shared test_support module to dedup mock helpers;
+  none_/hp naming sweep; remaining near-duplicate pairs in auth (rsa10/rsa16
+  batches); RSC19d residual items; RSP1b/TM2s1.
+- Test status: unit 746 pass / 439 fail (all realtime stubs) / 91 ignored.

Subject: [PATCH 10/68] R6: harden integration tests (nonprod endpoint, msgpack
 coverage, payload asserts, 5 stubs)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- sandbox moved to endpoint("nonprod:sandbox") per UTS; provisioning updated
- suite now runs over MessagePack (SDK default) — first live binary-protocol
  coverage; explicit JSON + msgpack round-trip variant tests added
- payload assertions: rsl2a typed data, rsp3a2 raw-string, rsl1k5 first-write-wins
  with stable-poll dedup check
- implemented stubs: callback TokenRequest exchange, history time range,
  capability restriction (native token, 40160), publish serials, live encrypted
  publish/history round-trip

Unit: 753 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 86 ignored. Integration: 54 pass / 31 ignored.

+### R6 Integration-Test Hardening — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- Sandbox infra moved to the UTS-mandated endpoint: provisioning and clients use
+  endpoint("nonprod:sandbox") → sandbox.realtime.ably-nonprod.net (verified live).
+- Protocol coverage: sandbox_client now uses the SDK-default MessagePack — the
+  binary protocol is exercised across the whole integration suite for the first
+  time (all tests pass). sandbox_client_json + two explicit protocol-variant
+  round-trip tests (string/json/binary over JSON; native binary over msgpack).
+- Payload assertions added: rsl2a (typed data round-trip for all 3 messages),
+  rsp3a2 (unencoded presence data stays a raw string), rsl1k5 (first-write-wins
+  data + stable two-read poll to close the dedup race).
+- Five ignored stubs implemented and passing live: rsa8_auth_callback_with_token_request
+  (callback TokenRequest exchange), rsl2b3_history_time_range, rsa8_capability_restriction
+  (native-token variant; 40160 on out-of-capability publish), rsl1n_publish_returns_serials
+  (single + batch), rsl5_encrypted_publish_history_roundtrip (live encrypt/decrypt).
+- Test status: unit 753 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 86 ignored;
+  integration 54 pass / 31 ignored (was 47/36).
+- Remaining ignored stubs are all legitimately blocked: 4 JWT (needs a JWT dev
+  dependency), ~10 on stale ably-common fixtures (keys[4] revocableTokens +
+  mutable namespace — submodule update needed), the rest need a live realtime
+  client (Phase 5). App teardown + JWT dev-dep deferred to follow-up.
+- UPSTREAM FLAGS for the spec repo: (1) the RSP5g cipher fixture string in
+  uts/rest/unit/presence/rest_presence.md is a corrupt truncation of the
+  ably-common crypto fixture; (2) uts/rest/unit/auth/revoke_tokens.md unit mocks
+  use the legacy array response while the integration doc mandates the
+  BatchResult envelope; (3) UTS request.md (HP, no error on HTTP status) vs
+  token_renewal.md ("FAILS WITH error" via request()) are inconsistent.

Subject: [PATCH 11/68] Correct stale ignore reasons on mutable-message
 integration stubs

The serials half of the reason was fixed in R3; the fixture namespace is the
only remaining blocker.

Subject: [PATCH 12/68] Phase P: proxy tests (8/8 live), fixture update,
 mutable-message + revoke integration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- implement all 8 UTS proxy tests via the uts-proxy harness (auto-download);
  fallback classification, error parsing, and idempotent retry dedup verified
  end-to-end against the live sandbox through fault injection
- fallback retry no longer drops fallback hosts equal to the primary
- ably-common submodule updated (keys[4] revocableTokens, mutable namespace);
  8 newly-unblocked integration tests implemented and passing live
- fix Annotation wire field: messageSerial per TAN2j (was msgSerial); RSAN1c2
  sets it on publish/delete — caught by the live annotation lifecycle test

Unit: 768/440(realtime stubs)/70. Integration: 62 pass / 15 ignored. Proxy: 8/8.

+- All 8 UTS proxy tests implemented in new src/tests_proxy.rs against the

+  timeout fallback (RSC15l2), CloudFront 403 fallback (RSC15l4), connection drop,
+  unreachable endpoint error, 5xx parsed/synthesized, 4xx-not-retried, and
+  RSL1k4 idempotent retry dedup (proves the LIVE server dedupes our generated ids).
+  8/8 passing. Old proxy stubs removed from tests_rest_integration.rs.
+- SDK fix: fallback retry list no longer filters fallback hosts equal to the
+  primary (only a failed cached-fallback is excluded) — required for proxy
+  configs where primary and fallback are both localhost.
+- ably-common submodule updated to origin/main: keys[4] revocableTokens + the
+  mutable namespace. Unblocked and implemented 8 more integration tests, all
+  passing live: rsl11 getMessage, rsl15 update/delete/append, rsl14 versions,
+  rsan1/2 annotation lifecycle, rsan3 paginated annotations, rsa17e
+  issuedBefore/allowReauthMargin (live proof of the BatchResult envelope fix).
+- LIVE-CAUGHT BUG: Annotation serial field is `messageSerial` (TAN2j), not
+  `msgSerial` — unit mocks had agreed with the wrong implementation. Fixed
+  (field renamed message_serial, RSAN1c2 now sets it on publish/delete bodies).
+- Remaining ignored (15): 3 JWT (needs jsonwebtoken dev-dep), 10 need a live
+  realtime client (presence events/members, revoke-disconnect observation),
+  2 LocalDevice. All reasons name their concrete blocker.
+- Test status: unit 768 pass / 440 fail (all realtime stubs) / 70 ignored;
+  integration 62 pass / 15 ignored; proxy 8/8. All serial runs fully green.
+- Next: Phase 4 — realtime state design (DESIGN.md section, HUMAN REVIEW GATE).

- DESIGN.md 'Realtime State & Concurrency': single-writer connection loop owns
  all protocol state (zero locks on it); LoopInput/Command protocol; watch +
  broadcast observation contract; in-loop deadline timers; generation-guarded
  transport tasks; all-channels-in-loop decision; presence ownership; explicit

  enforcement mechanisms
- tests_design_conformance.rs: lock-inventory ratchet (fails the build on any
  sync primitive beyond the documented whitelist) + no-pub-fields check on
  loop-owned structs; immediately caught and quarantined the two pre-design
  stub presence-map mutexes (temporary whitelist, removed in stage 5.7)
- CLAUDE.md: binding realtime design contract loaded into every session

Awaiting human review of the design before any Phase 5 implementation.

+## Realtime design contract (BINDING — see DESIGN.md "Realtime State & Concurrency")
+
+These are requirements, not guidance. They apply to ALL realtime work (Phase 5+):
+
+1. **One connection loop owns ALL mutable protocol state** (connection state
+   machine, channels, presence, ACKs, queues, timers) as plain owned data.
+   **No locks on protocol state, ever.** Handles interact with the loop only via
+   the LoopInput mpsc, oneshot replies, watch snapshots, and broadcast events.
+2. **Complete allowed lock inventory**: the `Channels` handle registry Mutex,
+   plus the two REST locks (auth_state, fallback_state). Nothing else.
+   `tests_design_conformance.rs` enforces this on every `cargo test` — if it
+   fails, STOP and read its message; never weaken or bypass it. (Two stub
+   presence-map mutexes are temporarily whitelisted until stage 5.7.)
+3. **The loop never awaits I/O.** Blocking work (transport connect, token
+   acquisition, writes) happens in spawned tasks posting LoopInput back,
+   generation-tagged.
+4. **Realtime tests are derived from the UTS specs** (`uts/realtime/unit/*.md`),
+   never from old implementations. The 440 ported tests are a coverage
+   cross-check and quarry only (adopt verbatim only when they match the UTS
+   pseudo-code); each Phase 5 stage records adopted/superseded counts.
+5. **Design-change-before-code**: if an implementation step seems to need a new
+   sync primitive, shared state outside the loop, or a loop bypass, STOP. Propose
+   the change as a DESIGN.md edit and get explicit human approval BEFORE writing
+   the code. This includes anything that would dodge the conformance test.

+# Realtime State & Concurrency (Phase 4)
+
+This section defines how realtime state is owned, mutated, and observed. It exists
+because the previous implementation accumulated 18 mutexes on `ConnectionInner` and
+25 on `ChannelInner` with no coherent synchronisation concept. This design has
+**one concept** and derives everything from it. §14 defines how adherence is
+enforced mechanically as implementation proceeds.
+
+## 1. The single synchronisation concept: one event loop owns all state
+
+All mutable realtime state — the connection state machine, every channel's state
+machine, presence maps, pending ACKs, queued messages, timers — is owned exclusively
+by **one tokio task**, the *connection loop*. It is plain owned data (`&mut self`):
+**zero locks on any protocol state**.
+
+Nothing else can read or write that state directly. The world interacts with the
+loop through exactly four primitives:
+
+| Primitive | Direction | Used for |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mpsc::UnboundedSender<LoopInput>` | in | commands from handles, transport events, completions of spawned I/O |
+| `oneshot::Sender<Result<T>>` (carried inside commands) | out | request/response replies (attach, publish, ping, …) |
+| `tokio::sync::watch` | out | state snapshots (`ConnectionState`, per-channel `ChannelSnapshot`) |
+| `tokio::sync::broadcast` | out | ordered state-change event streams |
+
+The loop **never awaits I/O**. Anything that blocks (transport connect, token
+acquisition, transport writes) is done by short-lived spawned tasks that post their
+outcome back into the loop as a `LoopInput`. The loop's body is therefore pure,
+fast state manipulation; every input is processed to completion before the next —
+which is what makes every ordering guarantee in §10 hold by construction.
+
+```

+
+### The one lock that is not protocol state
+
+`Channels` (the public collection) holds `Mutex<HashMap<String, Arc<RealtimeChannel>>>`
+— a registry of *handle objects only* (name, command sender, watch receiver). It
+exists because `Channels::get/exists/names` are synchronous API. It contains no
+protocol state, is held only for map operations, and never across an await. Channel
+*state* lives in the loop. This is the entire lock inventory of the realtime client
+(plus the two existing REST locks, §13) — see §14 for how this inventory is enforced.
+
+## 2. State inventory
+
+Everything mutable, its owner, and how the outside world sees it:
+
+| State | Lives in | Written by | Observed via |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ConnectionState` + `ConnectionEvent` | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | `watch` snapshot + `broadcast` events |
+| connection `id`, `key`, `error_reason`, current host | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | part of connection `watch` snapshot |
+| `ConnectionDetails` (clientId, connectionStateTtl, maxIdleInterval, maxMessageSize) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop (CONNECTED) | snapshot fields where public |
+| `msg_serial` counter (RTN7b) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
+| pending-ACK queue (serial → oneshot repliers) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | resolves publish/presence futures |
+| connection-wide queued messages (RTL6c2, queueMessages) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
+| transport generation counter (stale-transport guard) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
+| retry bookkeeping (attempt count, fallback host index) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
+| per-channel `ChannelState`, `error_reason` | `ChannelCtx` | loop | per-channel `watch` + `broadcast` |
+| per-channel options (params, modes, cipher) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | snapshot |
+| `attach_serial`, `channel_serial` (RTL15) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | snapshot |
+| message subscriber registry (id, name filter, sender) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | delivers into subscriber mpsc |
+| presence map + internal (local-member) map, sync state (RTP1/2/17) | `PresenceCtx` in `ChannelCtx` | loop | presence subscriber mpsc; `get` command replies |
+| deferred presence `get(wait_for_sync)` repliers | `PresenceCtx` | loop | replied at sync barrier |
+| pending attach/detach repliers + op timers | `ChannelCtx` | loop | resolves attach()/detach() futures |
+| all timers (§5) | `ConnectionCtx`/`ChannelCtx` | loop | not observable |
+| channel **handle** registry | `Channels` (Mutex) | `Channels::get/release` | sync API |
+| token cache / auth state | shared `Rest` (existing `AuthState` Mutex) | REST auth layer | `Auth`/`RealtimeAuth` |
+
+`ConnectionCtx` and `ChannelCtx` are plain structs with **no `pub` fields and no
+sync primitives inside**; they are moved into the loop task at construction and
+cannot be shared.
+
+## 3. Command/response protocol
+
+`LoopInput` is one enum; a single queue gives a total order over everything the
+loop reacts to:
+
+```rust
+enum LoopInput {
+    Cmd(Command),                  // from public handles
+    Transport(TransportInput),     // from reader tasks: Message(pm) | Closed(reason)
+    ConnectAttempt(Result<Box<dyn TransportConnection>>, Generation),
+    TokenReady(Result<TokenDetails>, Generation),
+}
+
+enum Command {
+    Connect,
+    Close,

+}
+```
+
+Public async methods are thin: build command + oneshot, `send`, `await` the reply.
+Command semantics per connection state follow the spec tables — e.g. `Publish`
+while CONNECTED sends immediately and registers the ACK replier; while
+CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED with `queue_messages` it joins the queue (replier retained);
+while SUSPENDED/CLOSED/FAILED it replies immediately with the spec error. Every
+command has a defined behaviour in every connection state — the match in the loop
+is exhaustive, so the compiler enforces that the table is complete.
+
+`Connect`/`Close` are fire-and-forget (per the existing API); their outcomes are
+observable via snapshots/events. Commands sent after the loop has terminated
+(client dropped) fail fast: the send error maps to an `ErrorInfo` (80017).
+
+## 4. State observation
+
+- **Snapshots**: `Connection::state()/id()/key()/error_reason()` read
+  `watch::Receiver::borrow()` — wait-free, never stale-locked, no loop round trip.
+  `RealtimeChannel::state()` etc. likewise from `ChannelSnapshot`.
+- **Events**: `on_state_change()` returns a `broadcast::Receiver` (existing API).
+  `when_state(target, cb)` spawns a tiny listener task over a receiver.
+- **Consistency contract**: the loop updates the `watch` snapshot **before**
+  emitting the corresponding `broadcast` event. A listener that reads a snapshot
+  while handling event N sees the state from transition ≥ N (never < N). Events
+  on one stream are delivered in transition order (broadcast preserves order;
+  the loop is the only sender). A lagged broadcast receiver (`RecvError::Lagged`)
+  misses intermediate *events* but the snapshot is always current — documented.
+- Snapshots are values (no torn reads by construction).
+
+## 5. Timers
+
+All timers are deadlines stored in the loop's state; the loop's `select!` waits on
+`sleep_until(earliest)` computed each iteration (O(channels) scan; fine for
+realistic counts, a heap is a drop-in optimisation if ever needed). No timer
+wheels, no timer tasks, no cancellation races: cancelling = setting the field to
+`None`, which the next loop iteration observes.
+
+| Timer | Stored | Set on | Fires → |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| connect attempt timeout (`realtime_request_timeout`) | ConnectionCtx | CONNECTING entry | attempt failed → DISCONNECTED, schedule retry |
+| disconnected retry (`disconnected_retry_timeout`, RTN14d) | ConnectionCtx | DISCONNECTED entry | → CONNECTING |
+| suspended retry (`suspended_retry_timeout`, RTN14e) | ConnectionCtx | SUSPENDED entry | → CONNECTING |
+| connection state TTL (RTN14e/RTN15a boundary) | ConnectionCtx | first DISCONNECTED | → SUSPENDED (resume no longer possible) |
+| activity timeout (maxIdleInterval + realtime_request_timeout, RTN23) | ConnectionCtx | every transport input | transport dead → disconnect path |
+| heartbeat/ping deadline (RTN13) | ConnectionCtx | ping sent | ping replier gets timeout error |
+| attach/detach op timeout (RTL4f/RTL5f) | ChannelCtx | ATTACHING/DETACHING entry | op replier errored, state per spec |
+| channel retry (`channel_retry_timeout`, RTL13b) | ChannelCtx | channel SUSPENDED | re-attach |
+
+## 6. Transport integration
+
+`Transport::connect(url)` is called from a **spawned connect task** (never the
+loop): the task first obtains auth (token via the shared REST auth layer if token
+auth — also off-loop), builds the URL (RTN2 params: v=6, format, resume/recover
+keys captured from the loop state at spawn time), calls `connect`, and posts
+`ConnectAttempt(result, generation)`.
+
+On success the loop splits the connection: it spawns a **reader task** (pumps
+`TransportConnection::recv()` → `LoopInput::Transport`, tagged with the
+generation) and a **writer task** (drains an unbounded `mpsc<ProtocolMessage>`
+into `send()`). The loop holds only the writer queue sender + abort handles.
+
+**Generation counter**: every connect attempt increments it; every input from a
+transport carries its generation; the loop discards inputs whose generation ≠
+current (RTN — "operations on superseded transport"). This single integer replaces
+all "is this still the active transport?" reasoning.
+
+Resume/recover (RTN15/RTN16) is loop-side bookkeeping: connection key + serial are
+in `ConnectionCtx`; the connect task is handed the resume params as values.
+CONNECTED processing (fresh vs resumed vs failed-resume) follows RTN15c by
+comparing connection ids and surfacing the error per spec.
+
+## 7. Channel multiplexing: all channels inside the connection loop
+
+Considered: one task per channel. Rejected for v1:
+- The wire protocol is a single serialized stream per connection; per-channel tasks
+  re-serialize at the socket anyway.
+- The coupling RTL specifies (connection state changes fan into every channel:
+  RTN8c/RTN11/RTL3; ACKs are connection-scoped serials routed to channel publishes)
+  becomes inter-task choreography with exactly the ordering hazards this design
+  exists to remove.
+- Per-channel CPU work is small (decode/decrypt of one message); throughput is
+  socket-bound. If profiling ever disagrees, decode can be offloaded per-channel
+  behind the same dispatch point without changing ownership.
+
+So: `channels: HashMap<String, ChannelCtx>` inside the loop; connection-state
+effects on channels are a plain in-loop iteration — atomic with the connection
+transition that caused them (no observable interleaving gap).
+
+## 8. Message routing and backpressure
+
+Inbound path: reader task → `LoopInput::Transport(Message(pm))` → loop:
+1. connection-level actions (ACK/NACK → resolve pending repliers; HEARTBEAT;
+   CONNECTED/DISCONNECTED/CLOSED/ERROR → state machine);
+2. channel-scoped actions dispatch on `pm.channel`: MESSAGE → decode/decrypt
+   (channel cipher) → deliver to matching subscribers; PRESENCE/SYNC → presence
+   engine; ATTACHED/DETACHED → channel state machine + op repliers.
+
+Subscriber delivery: each `subscribe()` gets an **unbounded** `mpsc` and the
+loop `send`s (wait-free). Unbounded is deliberate: dropping messages silently
+would violate correctness expectations, and blocking the loop on a slow consumer
+would stall the whole client. The server already bounds the inbound rate per
+connection; a slow consumer therefore costs memory proportional to its own lag
+only. (A bounded mode with an explicit drop policy can be added later without
+design change.) `unsubscribe` removes the sender; receiver drop is detected on
+next send and the entry pruned.
+
+## 9. Presence
+
+`PresenceCtx` (inside `ChannelCtx`, loop-owned): the members map, the internal
+(local-entries) map (RTP17), sync bookkeeping (`sync_in_progress`, expected
+serial, residual members set for RTP19), and deferred `get(wait_for_sync=true)`
+repliers. The RTP2 newness comparison, SYNC application, RTP17b re-entry on
+attach, and RTP19/19a reconciliation are all plain in-loop functions over that
+struct. Presence events go to presence subscribers (same unbounded-mpsc pattern;
+the public callback API wraps a receiver + spawned dispatch task). `enter/update/
+leave` are `PresenceAction` commands: sent as protocol messages with ACK repliers,
+and recorded in the internal map per RTP17 on ACK.
+
+## 10. Invariants (each holds by construction of §1)
+
+1. Every state transition (connection and channel) is decided by exactly one
+   thread of execution; no transition can be observed "in progress".
+2. `watch` snapshot updates precede their `broadcast` events (§4 contract).
+3. Events on any one stream are delivered in transition order.
+4. ACK/NACK resolution is FIFO over `msg_serial` (RTN7); a publish replier is
+   resolved exactly once (ACK, NACK, or connection-level failure per RTN7c).
+5. Per channel, message delivery order to every subscriber equals wire arrival
+   order; presence events are emitted only after the map mutation they describe.
+6. Inputs from superseded transports are inert (generation guard, §6).
+7. Connection-state side effects on channels are atomic with the connection
+   transition (§7).
+8. After `close()`, queued/pending operations resolve with the spec error —
+   repliers are never leaked (loop drains them on terminal states).
+
+## 11. Alternatives considered
+
+| Alternative | Why rejected |
+|---|---|
+| One coarse `Mutex<AllState>` with methods locking it | Locks held across protocol logic invite await-holding bugs; event callbacks re-entering the API deadlock; readers can observe mid-compound-transition state; the Mutex becomes a de-facto event loop with none of its ordering guarantees. |
+| Fine-grained locks per field (the previous implementation) | The motivating failure: 18+25 mutexes, transitions composed of multiple independently-locked writes, no serialization of compound transitions, races between connection and channel updates. |
+| Actor per channel + connection actor | Maximum parallelism, but RTL/RTP couple channel and connection state tightly; cross-actor invariants (§10.4, §10.7) need message choreography that reintroduces ordering hazards; no profiling evidence the parallelism is needed (socket-bound). Kept as a later optimisation seam at the §8 dispatch point. |
+| Shared state + atomics | Doesn't compose: compound transitions (state + error_reason + id + events) can't be made atomic across several atomics. |
+
+## 12. Test sourcing: regenerate from the UTS; ported tests are raw material
+
+**Decision (approved 2026-06-10): realtime tests are derived from the UTS specs,
+not reused wholesale from the port.** Phase R demonstrated that tests ported from
+an implementation pin that implementation's bugs (rsa9h pinned the RSA5/RSA6
+default bug; tm3 pinned the wrong TM5 wire values) — and that the tests we trust
+most are the ones derived from UTS pseudo-code.
+
+Per Phase 5 stage:
+1. The stage's tests are written from the `uts/realtime/unit/*.md` pseudo-code as
+   the authoritative source (same discipline as Phase R: write the test, see it
+   fail for the right reason, implement).
+2. The 440 ported tests in `tests_realtime_unit_*.rs` serve two subordinate roles:
+   - a **coverage cross-check**: the stage is not done until every ported test in
+     its spec range is either superseded by a UTS-derived test or explicitly
+     adopted; anything the ported tests cover that the UTS does not (the port
+     came from 1,232 ably-js tests) is flagged and kept, marked with its
+     provenance — never silently lost;
+   - a **quarry**: where a ported test already matches the UTS pseudo-code
+     faithfully, it is adopted verbatim (cheaper than rewriting, same provenance
+     guarantee as derivation, recorded as adopted).
+3. Ported tests in the stage's range are deleted only when superseded or adopted;
+   until then they remain `todo!()`-failing in the tree, so the count of remaining
+   ported tests is a live progress metric.
+4. A ported test that cannot be expressed against this design is a design defect
+   to raise at review, not a test to drop.
+
+### Mock infrastructure
+
+The mock surface keeps the shapes the ported tests use (so adoption is cheap) and
+is what UTS-derived tests use too:
+
+- `MockTransport` implements `Transport`; `MockWebSocket` is the test-facing
+  controller. `Transport::connect(url)` (called by the spawned connect task)
+  registers a `PendingConnection{url}` and parks on a oneshot —
+  `await_connection()` hands it to the test; `respond_with_success(msg)` completes
+  it with a `TransportConnection` whose first `recv()` yields `msg`;
+  `respond_with_refused/_with_error` complete it with failure.
+- `MockConnection::send_to_client(pm)` pushes into the connection's event stream
+  → reader task → loop; `simulate_disconnect()` ends the stream.
+- `client_messages()` records everything the writer task sends — outbound
+  protocol assertions. `Realtime::with_mock(&opts, transport)` and `await_state`
+  helpers are kept.
+- Determinism: every externally-visible effect flows through the same single
+  input queue as production; timer tests use `tokio::time::pause()/advance()`
+  (loop timers are `sleep_until`, so virtual time drives them exactly). One loop
+  implementation serves mock and real transports — the old code's duplicated
+  mock/real connection loops cannot reappear.
+
+## 13. Realtime/REST sharing
+
+`Realtime` owns a `Rest` built from the same `ClientOptions`. All REST-over-
+realtime operations (history, REST presence get on a realtime channel, push) call
+it directly from handles — they never touch the loop. Auth state (token cache,
+saved params, forced token auth) stays in `Rest`'s existing `AuthState` Mutex:
+the loop never holds it (token work happens in spawned tasks, §6).
+Server-initiated reauth (RTN22/RTC8): AUTH protocol message → loop spawns token
+task → `TokenReady` → loop sends AUTH with new token over the writer queue.
+`RealtimeAuth::authorize()` delegates to REST authorize, then issues an
+`Authorize` command so the loop applies RTC8 (in-place reauth) with the result.
+
+## 14. Enforcement: how this design stays adhered to
+
+Prose does not survive implementation pressure; these mechanisms do:
+
+1. **The lock-inventory ratchet (mechanical).** `tests_design_conformance.rs`
+   embeds the realtime source files via `include_str!` and fails if any sync
+   primitive (`Mutex`, `RwLock`, `Atomic*`, `OnceLock`, …) appears in them beyond
+   the whitelist documented here. Steady-state whitelist: exactly one — the
+   `Channels` handle registry. Current temporary additions: the two pre-design
+   stub presence-map mutexes in channel.rs, which exist only because ~21 ported
+   presence tests poke them directly; stage 5.7 supersedes those tests per §12
+   and deletes the fields, reducing the channel.rs allowance from 3 to 1 (that
+   reduction is part of 5.7's definition of done). The ratchet runs on every
+   `cargo test`; the first "harmless extra lock" fails the build and forces the
+   design conversation at the moment it matters. Changing the whitelist requires
+   editing the conformance test AND this section in the same commit — which is
+   precisely the review trigger. A companion test rejects `pub` fields on the
+   loop-owned state structs (§2).
+2. **CLAUDE.md binding contract.** CLAUDE.md (loaded into every working session)
+   carries a compact, imperative statement of the invariants with a pointer here.
+   Any change to the contract requires changing this document first, with
+   explicit human approval, before any code.
+3. **Per-stage conformance line.** Every Phase 5 stage's PROGRESS.md entry must
+   state: lock inventory unchanged (conformance test passing), tests derived
+   from UTS (with adopted/superseded counts for the stage's ported-test range).
+4. **Design-change-before-code rule.** If an implementation step appears to need
+   a new sync primitive, a new task with shared state, or loop-bypassing access,
+   work STOPS on that step; the change is proposed as a DESIGN.md edit and
+   reviewed by a human first. A workaround that avoids the conformance test
+   (e.g. hiding a lock in another module) is a violation of the same rule.
+
+## Implementation order note
+
+Phase 5.1 builds: `LoopInput`/`Command`, `ConnectionCtx`, the loop skeleton with
+exhaustive state matching, generation guard, connect/close + mock transport —
+then each subsequent stage (5.2–5.8) adds fields to the same two structs and arms
+to the same matches. Nothing in later stages introduces a new synchronisation
+mechanism (§14.4).

+## Phase 5: Realtime Implementation
+
+### 5.1 Connection Foundation — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- src/connection.rs: the single-writer connection loop per DESIGN.md — LoopInput/
+  Command enums, ConnectionCtx (plain owned state, no locks), generation-guarded
+  spawned connect/reader/writer tasks, watch-before-broadcast emission, exhaustive
+  per-state command handling. RTN2 URL building (v=6, format, key/accessToken via
+  the shared REST auth layer, off-loop).
+- src/realtime.rs: thin handles — Realtime (new/with_mock/connect/close, embedded
+  Rest), Connection (snapshot reads, on_state_change, when_state w/ RTN26a/b
+  semantics, subscribe-before-snapshot-read race guard), RealtimeAuth delegating
+  to REST auth. ClientOptions::realtime() now works; clone_for_realtime added.
+- src/ws_transport.rs: production tokio-tungstenite transport (JSON text /
+  msgpack binary frames; unparseable frames skipped per RTN19 tolerance).
+- src/mock_ws.rs: full UTS mock_websocket.md implementation (handler + await
+  patterns, PendingConnection respond_with_success/refused/error, MockConnection
+  send_to_client(_and_close)/simulate_disconnect, client_messages,
+  await_message_from_client, await_client_close). Test-only locks.
+- Implemented behaviors: RTN3 (autoConnect), RTN4 ordered lifecycle events,
+  RTN4h additional-CONNECTED → Update, RTN8/RTN9 id/key incl. RTN8c/9c clearing,
+  RTN11 (re)connect semantics, RTN12a/d/f close paths (CLOSE on wire, await
+  CLOSED), RTN25 errorReason on fatal ERROR, RTN26 whenState. Failed connect
+  attempts rest at DISCONNECTED (retry timers are 5.2).
+- Tests (DESIGN §12, option 2): 20 UTS-derived tests in
+  tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs — ALL derived from uts/realtime/unit
+  pseudo-code (auto_connect/connection_id_key/when_state/error_reason files) +
+  features-spec lifecycle sequences; all passed first run. PLUS one live
+  integration test: real WsTransport against the nonprod sandbox — CONNECTED
+  with server-assigned id/key, clean close (passes, 2.5s).
+- Ported-test cross-check for this stage's ranges: 17 superseded ported tests
+  deleted (RTN3 x3, RTN8/9 x7, RTN26 x5, 2 vacuous depth duplicates); the
+  remaining ported connection tests stay pending their stages (~60 of them now
+  pass against the new loop, a free cross-check). rtn8c_id_key_null_in_suspended
+  retained for 5.2 (needs SUSPENDED).
+- §14.3 conformance line: lock inventory UNCHANGED (conformance tests green;
+  connection.rs and ws_transport.rs added to the ratchet scan at zero allowance).
+- Test status: 851 pass / 363 fail (remaining realtime stubs) / 70 ignored;
+  REST + proxy + integration unaffected.
+- Next: 5.2 connection failures, retries/backoff, resume, ping, heartbeat.

 ping, heartbeat
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- in-loop deadline timers (DESIGN §5): connect timeout, close timeout (RTN12b),
  RTB1 backoff+jitter retries (RTN14d), connectionStateTtl suspension (RTN14e/f),
  idle timeout with traffic reset (RTN23a), ping deadlines (RTN13c)
- RTN15 resume: immediate reconnect with resume=key, c6/c7 id comparison, key
  refresh, TTL-cleared state; RTN15h/RTN14b token-error renewal in the spawned
  connect task; RSA4a/RTN15h1 unrenewable → FAILED
- Connection::ping (RTN13a/b/c/e); echo=false param (RTN2b)
- 24 new UTS-derived tests (45 total, all green; paused-clock timer tests);
  live test now pings over the real connection; 11 implementation-pinned/racy
  ported tests superseded; conformance ratchet green

891 pass / 336 fail (remaining stubs) / 70 ignored.

+### 5.2 Connection Failures, Retries, Resume, Ping, Heartbeat — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- Timers per DESIGN §5: all deadlines in ConnectionCtx, one sleep_until in the
+  loop select. Implemented: connect-attempt timeout (RTN14c), close-handshake
+  timeout (RTN12b), disconnected retry with RTB1 backoff
+  (min((n+2)/3,2) × jitter[0.8,1.0]) (RTN14d), connectionStateTtl → SUSPENDED
+  (RTN14e, server details override; new connection_state_ttl option), suspended
+  indefinite retries (RTN14f), idle/activity timeout maxIdleInterval +
+  realtimeRequestTimeout with reset on any traffic (RTN23a; heartbeats=true and
+  echo=false (RTN2b) URL params), ping deadlines (RTN13c).
+- RTN15: immediate resume reconnect on unexpected transport loss (RTN15a),
+  resume=key param (RTN15b1), resumed vs failed-resume by connection id
+  (RTN15c6/c7 with surfaced error), key refresh (RTN15e), resume state discarded
+  after TTL (RTN15g). RTN15h DISCONNECTED handling: token error → renew once and
+  reconnect (RTN15h2, renewal forced in the spawned connect task — loop never
+  touches the auth lock) or FAILED if unrenewable (RTN15h1); non-token → resume
+  (RTN15h3). RTN14b ERROR-during-connect token renewal; RSA4a unrenewable →
+  FAILED. Connection::ping() (RTN13a/b/c/e: random ids, id-matched responses,
+  concurrent pings, timeout, state errors).
+- Tests (DESIGN §12): 24 more UTS-derived tests (45 total in
+  tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs incl. RTB1a/b formula tests), all green;
+  paused-clock (tokio test-util) drives every timer test. Live test extended
+  with a real ping. 11 more ported tests superseded and deleted (instant-close
+  pinning, transient-state races vs the coalescing watch — my tests assert
+  event sequences instead). rtn17*/rtn19*/rtn22* ported tests remain for 5.3/5.5.
+- §14.3 conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (ratchet green).
+- Test status: 891 pass / 336 fail (remaining stubs) / 70 ignored.
+- Next: 5.3 fallback hosts (RTN17) + realtime auth (RTN22/RTC8).

Subject: [PATCH 16/68] 5.3: realtime fallback hosts (RTN17) + server-initiated
 reauth (RTN22/RTC8)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- loop-driven host cycling: primary first, shuffled REC2 fallbacks, qualifying
  failures advance within the CONNECTING phase; Connection::host(); RTN17e REST
  fallback affinity
- AUTH message → off-loop token renewal → AUTH reply with accessToken; stays
  CONNECTED with UPDATE on the server ack; RealtimeAuth::authorize applies
  tokens in place (RTC8)
- realtime ported tests migrated to REC domains; 7 rtn17 tests adopted; 2 racy
  rtn22a tests superseded; RTN14 tests isolated from cycling via empty
  fallback sets; connectivity check deferred (recorded)

901 pass / 327 fail (remaining stubs) / 70 ignored. Conformance + live green.

+### 5.3 Realtime Fallback Hosts + Auth — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- RTN17: host cycling is loop-driven state (connect_hosts/current_host in
+  ConnectionCtx) — each cycle tries the primary first (RTN17i), then the REC2
+  fallback domains in random order (RTN17h/j); qualifying failures (refused/
+  timeout/transport loss while connecting, 5xx DISCONNECTED per RTN17f/f1)
+  advance to the next host within the same CONNECTING phase; an exhausted or
+  empty set falls into the RTN14 retry cycle (RTN17g). Connection::host()
+  reports the connected host via the snapshot. RTN17e: a successful fallback
+  host is written into the embedded Rest's cached-fallback state so HTTP
+  requests prefer it (brief REST-lock write in the loop; never across await —
+  same class as the sanctioned REST locks).
+- DEFERRED (recorded): the RTN17j connectivity check (GET connectivityCheckUrl
+  before fallback) needs dual mock injection (WS + HTTP) in realtime unit
+  tests; planned alongside 5.6. Without it, fallback proceeds optimistically.
+- RTN22: server AUTH → off-loop token renewal task → TokenReady → client sends
+  AUTH with accessToken; connection stays CONNECTED; server's CONNECTED reply
+  surfaces as an UPDATE (RTN4h machinery). RTC8: RealtimeAuth::authorize()
+  obtains via REST then applies in place via Command::Reauth.
+- RTN14 isolation fix: the RTN14 retry tests now pin retry behavior with an
+  empty fallback set, since default options carry the 5 REC2 fallback domains.
+- Tests: 3 new UTS-derived (48 total in tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs, all
+  green; RTN22 full scenario incl. captured AUTH + token-2 + update-only
+  events). Ported cross-check: all 7 rtn17 tests ADOPTED (they pass verbatim
+  after the REC domain migration of realtime test files); 2 ported rtn22a
+  tests superseded (transient-state races; covered by rtn15h2); rtn22 x2
+  ported pass as adopted.
+- §14.3 conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (ratchet green; live test green).
+- Test status: 901 pass / 327 fail (remaining stubs: channels/messages/
+  presence/annotations + misc) / 70 ignored.
+- Next: 5.4 channel lifecycle (RTS, RTL2-5, RTL16) — ChannelCtx, EnsureChannel,
+  per-channel snapshots, attach/detach.

ChannelCtx (state machine, serials, modes, op deadlines, pending repliers)
is loop-owned plain data; the Channels handle registry is the design's one
sanctioned realtime lock. Attach/detach per RTL4/RTL5 incl. pending-state
continuations, op timeouts, queueing while not CONNECTED; RTL3 connection
effects incl. reattach-on-CONNECTED with serial + ATTACH_RESUME; RTL2 events
with UPDATE/resumed/hasBacklog semantics (RESUMED suppresses UPDATE, RTL12);
RTL15b1 serial clearing; RTL25 when_state.

Fixes found deriving tests from UTS: RTL5l detach of a queued attach while
not CONNECTED previously waited forever; UPDATE was emitted even when
RESUMED was set.

37 UTS-derived tests (incl. live sandbox attach/detach), all green.
Ported cross-check: 68 adopted (13 via mechanical tokio conversion),
12 superseded and deleted. Suite: 1029 pass / 224 fail (stubs) / 70
ignored, no hangs. Conformance ratchet green (channel.rs allowance
unchanged at 3).

   per-channel snapshots, attach/detach.
+
+### 5.4 Channel Lifecycle — DONE (2026-06-10)
+- ChannelCtx joins the loop-owned state: per-channel state machine, serials,
+  modes, op deadlines, pending attach/detach repliers — all plain owned data,
+  zero locks. Per-channel watch snapshot (state/errorReason/serials/modes) +
+  broadcast event stream, published snapshot-before-event per the §4 contract.
+- Channels handle registry: the design's ONE sanctioned realtime lock (a
+  Mutex<HashMap<name, Arc<RealtimeChannel>>> of handles only). get/
+  get_with_options sends Command::EnsureChannel (RTS3a identity, RTS3b options
+  on create); release sends Command::ReleaseChannel (detach-then-remove,
+  RTS4a). RealtimeChannel handle: snapshot reads, attach/detach oneshot
+  round-trips, on_state_change/when_state (RTL25, one-shot semantics).
+- Attach (RTL4): a no-op when attached; shares the in-flight op (RTL4h, incl.
+  attach-while-detaching continuation); errors on Closed/Closing/Failed/
+  Suspended connections (RTL4b); queues while CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED with
+  immediate ATTACHING (RTL4i); ATTACH carries channelSerial on reattach
+  (RTL4c1), params (RTL4k), mode flags (RTL4l), ATTACH_RESUME (RTL4j); timeout
+  → SUSPENDED (RTL4f); granted modes from ATTACHED flags (RTL4m); attach from
+  FAILED clears errorReason (RTL4g/RTL4c).
+- Detach (RTL5): no-op from Initialized/Detached (RTL5a); error from Failed
+  (RTL5b); Suspended → immediate Detached (RTL5j); queued behind in-flight
+  attach/detach (RTL5i); RTL5l immediate local detach when the connection
+  isn't CONNECTED — including abandoning a QUEUED (RTL4i) attach, a real gap
+  the ported cross-check caught (the queued detach would have waited forever);
+  detach timeout reverts to the prior state (RTL5f); ATTACHED while detaching
+  → fresh DETACH (RTL5k).
+- Connection effects (RTL3): Failed/Closed/Suspended fail/detach/suspend
+  attached AND attaching channels (in-flight attach repliers resolved with the
+  error); Disconnected is a channel no-op (RTL3e); on CONNECTED, attached/
+  attaching/suspended channels reattach with serial + ATTACH_RESUME (RTL3d).
+- Events: state-snapshot-then-event ordering; no duplicate state events
+  (RTL2g); additional ATTACHED → UPDATE with resumed=false, SUPPRESSED when
+  the RESUMED flag is set (RTL12 — fixed during UTS test derivation);
+  resumed/hasBacklog propagated from flags (RTL2d/RTL2i/TH6). RTL15b1:
+  channelSerial cleared on Detached/Suspended/Failed transitions.
+- Tests: 37 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_channels.rs (RTS, RTL2, RTL3,
+  RTL4, RTL5, RTL15b1, RTL23, RTL25 — all green), incl. a live sandbox
+  attach/detach proof. Ported cross-check (tests_realtime_unit_channel.rs):
+  68 5.4-scope tests ADOPTED (13 needed only the mechanical #[test] →
+  #[tokio::test] conversion since client construction now spawns the loop);
+  12 SUPERSEDED and deleted (transient-state races vs the coalescing watch,
+  mock-shape close timeouts, a self-contradictory rtl25a, a hang-prone
+  release test, and 2 rts3c1 tests whose error assertions had been stripped
+  in porting — RTS3c/RTS3c1/RTL16 are regenerated from UTS in 5.6). Remaining
+  ported failures are honest stubs for 5.5+ (publish/subscribe/rtl32/options/
+  derived channels). The full suite has NO hanging tests (23s wall).
+- §14.3 conformance: channel.rs registry Mutex occupies the 1 occurrence the
+  allowance budgeted (fully-qualified decl, Default::default() init); the 2
+  temporary presence-stub mutexes remain (allowance stays 3 until 5.7).
+  Ratchet green; no-pub-fields green (ChannelCtx loop-private).
+- Test status: 1029 pass / 224 fail (remaining stubs: messages/presence/
+  annotations/options/derived) / 70 ignored.
+- Next: 5.5 channel messages — publish/subscribe, ACK/NACK, msgSerial,
+  queueing (RTL6/7/8, RTN7, RTN19 resend), RTL15b serial updates from MESSAGE.

Subject: [PATCH 18/68] UTS coverage audit: per-ID traceability matrix +
 ratchet, and the gaps it found
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

uts_coverage.txt maps all 963 UTS Test IDs to passing Rust tests (686) or
excludes them with a stage/deferral reason (277); tests_uts_coverage.rs
enforces the matrix on every cargo test (DESIGN.md §14.5). Bootstrap
generator in tools/uts_coverage_generate.py.

Behavior fixes the audit surfaced:
- RTN13d: pings while CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED are now deferred and executed
  on CONNECTED (timeout from send, RTN13c; terminal states fail them,
  RTN13b) — previously errored immediately, pinned by a wrong test.
- RTC8: authorize() now resolves only on the server's response (RTC8a3),
  halts+restarts an in-flight attempt with the new token (RTC8b), and
  initiates a connection from non-connected states (RTC8c/RTC8b1).
- RSA4c3: failed RTN22 renewal while CONNECTED is silently swallowed.
- RTC1a/RTC1f1: echo param explicit; transportParams override URL defaults.
- RSA4f: >128KiB callback tokens rejected (80019); RSA4a1: 40171 warning
  for non-renewable literal tokens; RSL4a: bare-scalar JSON payloads
  rejected (40013). New option: fallback_retry_timeout (TO3l10).

Tests: +19 realtime UTS (RTN13d x5, RTC8 x10, RTF1/RTN22a/RSA4f/RSA4a1),
+18 REST backfill; 7 ported client tests converted sync→tokio, 8 superseded
deleted. Suite: 1079 pass / 202 fail (stubs) / 66 ignored; REST unit all
green; both ratchets green.

+  all 963 UTS Test IDs (487 rest + 476 realtime) mapped to passing Rust tests
+  (686) or excluded with a stage/deferral reason (277). tests_uts_coverage.rs
+  fails the build on unaccounted IDs, dangling test references, or reasonless
+  exclusions. Bootstrap generator in tools/uts_coverage_generate.py.
+- REAL BUGS the audit caught:
+  - RTN13d: ping while CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED must be DEFERRED until the
+    connection resolves — the implementation errored immediately and a
+    wrongly-derived test pinned that behavior. Now: deferred_pings in the
+    loop, executed on CONNECTED (timeout runs from the send, RTN13c), failed
+    on terminal states (RTN13b). 5 new UTS tests.
+  - RTC8: authorize() was fire-and-forget. Now full semantics: resolves only
+    on the server's CONNECTED/ERROR (RTC8a3); halts and restarts an in-flight
+    attempt with the new token (RTC8b, generation-orphaned); initiates a
+    connection from INITIALIZED/DISCONNECTED/SUSPENDED/FAILED/CLOSED (RTC8c);
+    fails when the connection lands terminal (RTC8b1). 10 new UTS tests; the
+    pending_authorize replies live in the loop, resolved in transition().
+  - RSA4c3: a failed RTN22 token renewal while CONNECTED must be silently
+    swallowed (no event, no errorReason) — we set errorReason and emitted an
+    update.
+  - RTC1a/RTC1f1: echo param now explicit (echo=true default); transportParams
+    now OVERRIDE library URL defaults (were appended as duplicates).
+  - RSA4f: oversized (>128KiB) callback tokens now rejected with 80019/401.
+  - RSA4a1: literal-token clients with no renewal means log a 40171 warning.
+  - RSL4a (REST): bare-scalar JSON payloads (number/bool) now rejected with
+    40013 at publish time.
+- REST backfill: 18 new tests (RSL4a x2, TG navigation x4, batch results
+  BPR/BPF/RSC22c x3, RSC22 request-id, RSC15f late-success-no-resurrection,
+  RSC16 no-auth + non-TLS, RSC6a stats pagination, TO3c2 log context,
+  RSA7 authorize-clientId, RSA16a token reuse, RSA17 revoke error/options).
+  New: ClientOptions::fallback_retry_timeout (TO3l10).
+- Realtime backfill: RTF1 unknown-action tolerance, RTN22a forced-disconnect
+  reason (event-stream witness, no transient-state race), RSA4f oversized,
+  RSA4a1 warning. Ported sweep: 7 client tests mechanically converted
+  (sync→tokio), 8 superseded/deleted (close-timeout mock shapes, wrong rtn13d,
+  4 stale-ignored backoff stubs superseded by the UTS RTB1 formula tests).
+- Conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (deferred_pings/pending_authorize are
+  plain loop-owned Vecs). Both ratchets green.
+- Test status: 1079 pass / 202 fail (later-stage stubs) / 66 ignored; REST
+  unit 689 all green; integration serial-only flake documented (rsl11 vs
+  shared sandbox in parallel).

+"""Generate uts_coverage.txt — the UTS traceability matrix.
+
+For every `**Test ID**` in the UTS tree (rest/unit + realtime/unit), emit one
+line:
+    <test-id> => <rust_test_fn>[, <fn2>...]     covered by these PASSING tests
+    <test-id> !! <reason>                        deliberately not covered (yet)
+
+Mapping sources, in priority order:
+  1. OVERRIDES — explicit human dispositions (mappings and exclusions)
+  2. EXCLUDE_FILES — whole spec files excluded with a stage/deferral reason
+  3. token auto-match against passing tests (spec-point naming convention),
+     best-variant scoring by slug words
+
+Any ID left unresolved is emitted as `?? UNRESOLVED` and the enforcement test
+(tests_uts_coverage.rs) will fail — that is the signal to disposition it.
+
+Usage: python3 tools/uts_coverage_generate.py <cargo-test-output.txt>

Subject: [PATCH 19/68] =?UTF-8?q?5.5:=20channel=20messages=20=E2=80=94=20p?=
 =?UTF-8?q?ublish/ACK=20pipeline,=20subscribers,=20RTL32=20wire=20mutation?=

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Loop-owned msgSerial + pending-ACK queue + connection-wide message queue;
RTL6 publish state table; RTN7d/e pending-publish outcomes; RTN19a/a2/b
resend on new transports (serials kept on resume, renumbered on failed
resume; DETACH resend was a real gap). Subscriber registry per DESIGN §8
(all/name/RTL22 MessageFilter), RTL7g implicit attach, RTL17 gating,
RTL8 unsubscribe. Inbound TM2 field population + RSL6 decode + RTL15b
serials + RTF1/RSF1 tolerance. RTL32 update/delete/append as wire
operations resolving via ACK (40003 serial validation, versionSerial).

LIVE-CAUGHT: the service emits duplicate map keys in msgpack frames; serde
rejects them, so every inbound MESSAGE over msgpack was dropped. Tolerant
decode (dedup, re-encode) fixes it; flagged upstream. RSL4a now treats
JSON scalar strings as string payloads.

25 UTS tests (incl. live msgpack publish/subscribe echo), ~60 ported
adopted, 14 superseded. Matrix: 5.5 exclusions converted (766 mapped).
Suite: 1161 / 132 (5.6+ stubs) / 66; both ratchets green.

+### 5.5 Channel Messages — DONE (2026-06-11)
+- Publish (RTL6): builder + publish_message; loop-owned msgSerial (RTN7b),
+  pending-ACK queue, ACK/NACK resolution with PublishResult serials from
+  `res` (RTL6j/TR4s); state table RTL6c1 (send when CONNECTED regardless of
+  channel attach state), RTL6c2 (queue while INITIALIZED/CONNECTING/
+  DISCONNECTED; queueMessages=false fails fast), RTL6c4 (channel SUSPENDED/
+  FAILED + terminal connection states fail with the reason), RTL6c5 (no
+  implicit attach). RSL4/RSL5 wire encoding with the channel cipher.
+- RTN7d/e: pending publishes survive DISCONNECTED (queueMessages default),
+  fail with the state-change reason on SUSPENDED/CLOSED/FAILED.
+- RTN19a/a2: pendings resent verbatim on a new transport; serials kept on a
+  successful resume, renumbered from a reset counter on a failed resume
+  (RTN15c7). RTN19b: pending ATTACH and DETACH resent (DETACH resend was a
+  real gap the audit-style cross-check caught).
+- Subscribe (RTL7/8/17/22): loop-side subscriber registry (unbounded mpsc per
+  §8, pruned on close); all/name/MessageFilter (RTL22 — new public
+  MessageFilter type + subscribe_with_filter); RTL7g implicit attach per
+  attachOnSubscribe with listener-survives-failed-attach; RTL17
+  attached-only delivery; RTL8a/b/c unsubscribe semantics.
+- Inbound MESSAGE: TM2a/c/f field population (pm.id:index, connectionId,
+  timestamp — never overwriting), RSL6 decode/decrypt with the channel
+  cipher, RTL15b channelSerial updates from MESSAGE/PRESENCE/SYNC, RTF1/RSF1
+  unknown-field tolerance.
+- RTL32 message mutations are WIRE operations (not REST): MESSAGE pm with
+  one Message carrying action UPDATE/DELETE/APPEND (RTL32b1), version from
+  the MessageOperation (RTL32b2), pm-level params (RTL32e), serial required
+  (RTL32a, 40003), resolves via ACK as UpdateDeleteResult.versionSerial
+  (RTL32d), caller's message untouched (RTL32c). RTL10b untilAttach
+  (fromSerial, attached-required) + RTL28/RTL31 REST delegation.
+- LIVE-CAUGHT PRODUCTION BLOCKER: the realtime service emits DUPLICATE map
+  keys in msgpack frames (`messages` twice in MESSAGE) — serde rejects
+  duplicates, so EVERY inbound message over msgpack (the default protocol!)
+  was silently dropped. Fixed with a tolerant decode path (dedup keys, last
+  wins, re-encode to preserve binary). FLAGGED UPSTREAM: server-side
+  duplicate-key emission in msgpack MESSAGE frames on nonprod sandbox.
+- Also fixed: RSL4a now normalizes JSON scalar strings to string payloads
+  (Data::JSON(Value::String) → Data::String) and null to empty — only
+  numbers/booleans are rejected (40013).
+- Tests: 25 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_messages.rs (all green), incl.
+  a live sandbox publish→subscribe echo round-trip over msgpack. Ported
+  sweep: ~60 message-scope tests ADOPTED (mechanical conversions: publish now

Authoritative channel options move into the loop (ChannelCtx), observable
via ChannelSnapshot; get_with_options is now fallible (approved amendment):
Err 40000 when params/modes change on a live channel (RTS3c1), safe updates
via Command::SetOptions (RTS3c). RTL16/16a set_options reattaches when
needed and resolves on re-ATTACHED. RTL13a/b/c server-initiated DETACHED:
immediate reattach, SUSPENDED + RTB1-jittered channelRetryTimeout retries
(ChannelStateChange.retry_in), cancelled off-CONNECTED; attach timeouts
join the retry cycle. RTS5 derived channels ([filter=b64?params]name).
RTN25: clean CONNECTED clears errorReason.

10 UTS tests; ported rtl13/rtl16/rts3c/rts5 groups adopted (2 broken rts5
ports fixed per UTS), 9 superseded. Matrix: 791 mapped / 174 excluded.
Suite: 1185 / 112 (presence+annotations stubs) / 63; ratchets green.

+### 5.6 Advanced Channels — DONE (2026-06-11)
+- Channel options: authoritative options moved into ChannelCtx, observable
+  via ChannelSnapshot. get_with_options is now FALLIBLE (approved §14.4
+  amendment): Err 40000 when params/modes change on an attaching/attached
+  channel (RTS3c1); safe updates flow through Command::SetOptions with
+  eventual visibility (RTS3c, soft-deprecated per UTS). RTL16/RTL16a
+  set_options reattaches when needed, resolving on re-ATTACHED via the
+  pending_attach repliers. TB2/TB4 attributes and defaults.
+- RTL13 server-initiated DETACHED: immediate reattach from ATTACHED/
+  SUSPENDED (RTL13a, reason surfaced on the ATTACHING change); DETACHED
+  while ATTACHING = failed reattach -> SUSPENDED with an RTB1-jittered
+  channelRetryTimeout retry (RTL13b; ChannelStateChange.retry_in carries the
+  delay; retry cycle ends on successful attach); retries cancelled whenever
+  the connection leaves CONNECTED (RTL13c). Attach timeouts join the same
+  retry cycle.
+- RTL12: additional-ATTACHED details verified (UPDATE with error,
+  RESUMED-suppression, null reason) — implementation was already correct.
+- RTS5 derived channels: [filter=<base64>?<params>] name qualification;
+  get_derived(_with_options); registry identity preserved.
+- RTN25 detail: a clean CONNECTED now clears errorReason (UTS sanctions
+  either behavior; cleared matches common practice).
+- RTN17j connectivity check REMAINS deferred (dual WS+HTTP mock injection
+  still unavailable; recorded since 5.3).
+- Tests: 10 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_channels_advanced.rs (all
+  green). Ported sweep: rtl13/rtl16/rts3c/rts5/rtl15b1/rtl4c1 groups now
+  ADOPTED (2 broken rts5 ports fixed to pass channel options per UTS; rts3c
+  adapted for eventual visibility); 9 superseded/deleted (rtl13c+rtn25
+  Disconnected races, rtn2e/rtn23b close-shape mocks, 3 stale-ignored
+  rtn7e stubs superseded by the 5.5 UTS tests). get_with_options call sites
+  mechanically unwrapped (~45).
+- Matrix: channel_options/additional_attached/server_initiated_detach/
+  channel_error exclusions converted (791 mapped / 174 excluded); both
+  ratchets green. Lock inventory UNCHANGED.
+- Test status: 1185 pass / 112 fail (presence 94, annotations 14, presence-
+  adjacent channel 4) / 63 ignored.

PresenceMap/LocalPresenceMap implement the full RTP2/RTP17/RTP18/RTP19
semantics as pure data; PresenceCtx joins ChannelCtx with the inbound
PRESENCE/SYNC engine, RTP1/RTP19a attach semantics, RTP5 state effects,
RTP17 internal map + automatic re-entry (RTP17e 91004 UPDATE on failure).
Ops follow the RTP16 table over the PRESENCE+ACK pipeline (RTP8c implicit
identity, RTP8j/RTP15f validation); RTP11 get defers on waitForSync and
fails 91005 on SUSPENDED (a deferred-get hang the tests caught); RTP6/7
subscribers with per-action narrowing.

The two temporary stub mutexes are deleted; the conformance allowance
drops 3->1 — the lock inventory is at its designed steady state.

Upstream UTS conflict flagged: RTP8j wildcard rejection vs wildcard-identity
setups in RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4.

17 UTS tests (incl. live sandbox presence round trip); ported sweep: 93
adopted, 26 superseded. Matrix: 895 mapped / 70 excluded. Suite:
1274 / 14 (annotations) / 63, no hangs.

+### 5.7 Realtime Presence — DONE (2026-06-12)
+- PresenceMap/LocalPresenceMap rewritten as pure loop-owned data per the UTS
+  map specs: RTP2 newness (id msgSerial:index for same-connection real ids,
+  timestamps otherwise, RTP2b1a incoming-wins ties), RTP2d2 stored-as-PRESENT
+  with RTP2d1 original-action events, RTP2h LEAVE semantics (ABSENT during
+  sync, deleted at endSync), RTP18 sync lifecycle with RTP19 residual
+  tracking and synthesized LEAVEs (id=None), RTP17h clientId-keyed local map
+  with synthesized-leave immunity.
+- PresenceCtx in ChannelCtx (DESIGN §9): inbound PRESENCE/SYNC engine (TM2
+  field inheritance, cipher decode, RTL15b serials), RTP1/RTP19a attach-time
+  semantics (HAS_PRESENCE sync vs authoritative-empty, ALSO on additional
+  non-resumed ATTACHED), RTP5a/b/f channel-state effects, RTP17 internal-map
+  maintenance from own-connection echoes, RTP17i/g/g1 automatic re-entry
+  (id omitted when the connectionId changed) with RTP17e failed-re-entry
+  UPDATE (91004 wrapping the cause, resumed=true).
+- Operations: enter/update/leave (+_client) per the RTP16 state table; RTP8c
+  own-identity ops omit clientId on the wire; RTP8j identity required,
+  wildcard rejected (91000); RTP15f mismatch rejected (40012). RTP11 get
+  with waitForSync deferral — failed on channel DETACHED/FAILED and 91005 on
+  SUSPENDED (a deferred-get hang the UTS tests caught). RTP6/7 subscribe
+  with per-action narrowing (RTP7b fixed to narrow, not remove). RTP12
+  history via REST.
+- STUB MUTEXES DELETED: channel.rs conformance allowance reduced 3 → 1 (the
+  steady state). Lock inventory: Channels registry + 2 REST locks, exactly.
+- UPSTREAM UTS CONFLICT flagged: RTP8j (wildcard enter errors) vs
+  RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4 setups using clientId "*" with plain enter(); we
+  follow RTP8j and adapted those ported tests to unidentified key auth.
+- Tests: 17 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_presence.rs incl. a LIVE
+  sandbox enter→subscribe→get→leave round trip. Ported sweep: 93 adopted,
+  26 superseded/deleted (19 poked the deleted stub mutexes, 6 standalone
+  no-loop handles, 1 broken rtp17g1 port).
+- Matrix: all 9 presence spec files converted (895 mapped / 70 excluded);
+  both ratchets green.
+- Test status: 1274 pass / 14 fail (annotations, 5.8) / 63 ignored; no

ANNOTATION ProtocolMessages through the shared ACK/NACK pipeline
(CREATE/DELETE actions, messageSerial per TAN2j, type validation), gated by
the message-publish state table (RTAN1b). Inbound dispatch to type-filtered
subscribers (RTAN4), implicit attach, missing-mode warning (RTAN4e).
ChannelMode::AnnotationPublish/AnnotationSubscribe with flag mappings.

4 UTS tests; ported sweep 10 adopted / 7 superseded (5 were compile-shells
that hung awaiting ACKs). Matrix: 909 mapped / 56 excluded (all recorded
deferrals). Suite: 1287 pass / 0 fail / 61 ignored — every realtime stage
(5.1-5.8) complete.

+### 5.8 Annotations — DONE (2026-06-12)
+- Realtime annotation ops over the wire: ANNOTATION ProtocolMessage with one
+  Annotation (action ANNOTATION_CREATE/DELETE per RTAN1c/RTAN2a, messageSerial
+  set TAN2j), resolved via the shared ACK/NACK pipeline (RTAN1d), gated by
+  the message-publish state table (RTAN1b); annotation type required
+  (RTAN1a, 40003 — implementation-defined per RSAN1a3). Inbound ANNOTATION
+  dispatching to (type-filtered) subscribers with TM2-style id/timestamp
+  inheritance (RTAN4a/c); RTAN4d implicit attach; RTAN4e missing-mode
+  warning at Major level (RTAN4e1 silent when unattached). get via REST.
+  New ChannelMode variants AnnotationPublish/AnnotationSubscribe with their
+  RTL4l/RTL4m flag mappings (1<<20 / 1<<21).
+- Tests: 4 UTS-derived (wire shape + encode, delete + NACK, subscribers +
+  filters + implicit attach, state conditions). Ported sweep: 10 adopted
+  (rtan1a code adapted to 40003 per UTS "implementation-defined"; rtan4e
+  given the Major log level), 7 superseded/deleted (5 compile-shells that
+  hung awaiting ACKs they never sent, 2 empty ignored shells).
+- Matrix: channel_annotations.md converted (909 mapped / 56 excluded — the
+  56 are recorded deferrals: push/LocalDevice, RTN16 recovery, network
+  events, delta/vcdiff, JWT, and API-unrepresentable cases). Both ratchets
+  green.
+- TEST STATUS: 1287 pass / 0 fail / 61 ignored — THE FULL SUITE IS GREEN.
+  Every realtime stage (5.1–5.8) is complete.
+- Next: Phase 6 final verification (clippy, fmt, ignored-test audit,
+  protocol-variant matrix, serial integration + proxy runs).

Subject: [PATCH 23/68] =?UTF-8?q?Phase=206:=20final=20verification=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20clippy=20clean,=20stale=20ignores=20resolved,=20liv?=
 =?UTF-8?q?e=20fixtures?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Clippy clean across all targets (documented policy allows in lib.rs;
num-derive 0.4). The coverage ratchet now tracks brace depth after an
unbalanced edit was found to have hidden 4 compiled-but-never-run tests
(one carried a latent bug). 9 previously realtime-blocked integration
tests implemented live: RSP4* presence history via realtime fixtures,
RSC24 batch presence, RSA17g revocation observed as a live 4014x forced
disconnect, RSA17c mixed revocation; 10 stale shells deleted.

Serial: integration 68/5-ignored, proxy 8/8. Matrix: 909 mapped / 54
excluded (recorded deferrals only). FINAL: 1297 pass / 0 fail / 41
ignored. The clean rewrite is complete.

Subject: [PATCH 24/68] Integrate Backlog.md for ongoing work management

backlog init (agent instructions in CLAUDE.md) + the deferred-work backlog
loaded as TASK-1..10: JWT test enablement, PresenceMessage::size, TM2s1
version defaulting, RTN16 recovery, RTN17j (behind dual-mock test infra),
push LocalDevice project, delta/vcdiff plugin, RTN20 network events,
upstream issue filing, and test housekeeping. Repo .tool-versions pins
nodejs so the backlog shim resolves in-repo.

+
+## Backlog.md: Comprehensive Project Management Tool via CLI
+
+### Assistant Objective
+
+Efficiently manage all project tasks, status, and documentation using the Backlog.md CLI, ensuring all project metadata
+remains fully synchronized and up-to-date.
+
+### Core Capabilities
+
+- ✅ **Task Management**: Create, edit, assign, prioritize, and track tasks with full metadata
+- ✅ **Search**: Fuzzy search across tasks, documents, and decisions with `backlog search`
+- ✅ **Acceptance Criteria**: Granular control with add/remove/check/uncheck by index
+- ✅ **Definition of Done checklists**: Per-task DoD items with add/remove/check/uncheck
+- ✅ **Board Visualization**: Terminal-based Kanban board (`backlog board`) and web UI (`backlog browser`)
+- ✅ **Git Integration**: Automatic tracking of task states across branches
+- ✅ **Dependencies**: Task relationships and subtask hierarchies
+- ✅ **Documentation & Decisions**: Structured docs and architectural decision records
+- ✅ **Export & Reporting**: Generate markdown reports and board snapshots
+- ✅ **AI-Optimized**: `--plain` flag provides clean text output for AI processing
+
+### Why This Matters to You (AI Agent)
+
+1. **Comprehensive system** - Full project management capabilities through CLI
+2. **The CLI is the interface** - All operations go through `backlog` commands
+3. **Unified interaction model** - You can use CLI for both reading (`backlog task 1 --plain`) and writing (
+   `backlog task edit 1`)
+4. **Metadata stays synchronized** - The CLI handles all the complex relationships
+
+### Key Understanding
+
+- **Tasks** live in `backlog/tasks/` as `task-<id> - <title>.md` files
+- **You interact via CLI only**: `backlog task create`, `backlog task edit`, etc.
+- **Use `--plain` flag** for AI-friendly output when viewing/listing
+- **Never bypass the CLI** - It handles Git, metadata, file naming, and relationships
+
+---
+
+# ⚠️ CRITICAL: NEVER EDIT TASK FILES DIRECTLY. Edit Only via CLI
+
+**ALL task operations MUST use the Backlog.md CLI commands**
+
+- ✅ **DO**: Use `backlog task edit` and other CLI commands
+- ✅ **DO**: Use `backlog task create` to create new tasks
+- ✅ **DO**: Use `backlog task edit <id> --check-ac <index>` to mark acceptance criteria
+- ❌ **DON'T**: Edit markdown files directly
+- ❌ **DON'T**: Manually change checkboxes in files
+- ❌ **DON'T**: Add or modify text in task files without using CLI
+
+**Why?** Direct file editing breaks metadata synchronization, Git tracking, and task relationships.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Source of Truth & File Structure
+
+### 📖 **UNDERSTANDING** (What you'll see when reading)
+
+- Markdown task files live under **`backlog/tasks/`** (drafts under **`backlog/drafts/`**)
+- Files are named: `task-<id> - <title>.md` (e.g., `task-42 - Add GraphQL resolver.md`)
+- Project documentation is in **`backlog/docs/`**
+- Project decisions are in **`backlog/decisions/`**
+
+### 🔧 **ACTING** (How to change things)
+
+- **All task operations MUST use the Backlog.md CLI tool**
+- This ensures metadata is correctly updated and the project stays in sync
+- **Always use `--plain` flag** when listing or viewing tasks for AI-friendly text output
+- Create and update project docs through Backlog.md APIs so frontmatter and paths stay valid. For CLI users, run `backlog doc create "Title" -p guides/setup` or `backlog doc update doc-1 --content "Updated markdown"`; MCP users should use `document_create` / `document_update`.
+- Document paths are relative to `backlog/docs/`; absolute paths and `..` traversal are rejected.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+### ❌ **WRONG: Direct File Editing**
+
+```markdown
+# DON'T DO THIS:
+
+1. Open backlog/tasks/task-7 - Feature.md in editor
+2. Change "- [ ]" to "- [x]" manually
+3. Add notes, comments, or final summary directly to the file
+4. Save the file
+```
+
+### ✅ **CORRECT: Using CLI Commands**
+
+```bash
+# DO THIS INSTEAD:
+backlog task edit 7 --check-ac 1  # Mark AC #1 as complete
+backlog task edit 7 --notes "Implementation complete"  # Add notes
+backlog task edit 7 --comment "Review question" --comment-author @agent-k  # Add comment
+backlog task edit 7 --final-summary "PR-style summary"  # Add final summary
+backlog task edit 7 -s "In Progress" -a @agent-k  # Multiple commands: change status and assign the task when you start working on the task
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Understanding Task Format (Read-Only Reference)
+
+⚠️ **FORMAT REFERENCE ONLY** - The following sections show what you'll SEE in task files.
+**Never edit these directly! Use CLI commands to make changes.**
+
+### Task Structure You'll See

+
+## 4. Defining Tasks
+
+### Creating New Tasks
+
+**Always use CLI to create tasks:**
+
+```bash
+# Example
+backlog task create "Task title" -d "Description" --ac "First criterion" --ac "Second criterion"
+```
+
+### Title (one liner)
+
+Use a clear brief title that summarizes the task.
+
+### Description (The "why")
+
+Provide a concise summary of the task purpose and its goal. Explains the context without implementation details.
+
+### Acceptance Criteria (The "what")
+
+**Understanding the Format:**
+
+- Acceptance criteria appear as numbered checkboxes in the markdown files
+- Format: `- [ ] #1 Criterion text` (unchecked) or `- [x] #1 Criterion text` (checked)
+
+**Managing Acceptance Criteria via CLI:**
+
+⚠️ **IMPORTANT: How AC Commands Work**
+
+- **Adding criteria (`--ac`)** accepts multiple flags: `--ac "First" --ac "Second"` ✅
+- **Checking/unchecking/removing** accept multiple flags too: `--check-ac 1 --check-ac 2` ✅
+- **Mixed operations** work in a single command: `--check-ac 1 --uncheck-ac 2 --remove-ac 3` ✅
+
+```bash
+# Examples
+
+# Add new criteria (MULTIPLE values allowed)
+backlog task edit 42 --ac "User can login" --ac "Session persists"
+
+# Check specific criteria by index (MULTIPLE values supported)
+backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1 --check-ac 2 --check-ac 3  # Check multiple ACs
+# Or check them individually if you prefer:
+backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1    # Mark #1 as complete
+backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 2    # Mark #2 as complete
+
+# Mixed operations in single command
+backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1 --uncheck-ac 2 --remove-ac 3
+
+# ❌ STILL WRONG - These formats don't work:
+# backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1,2,3  # No comma-separated values
+# backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1-3    # No ranges
+# backlog task edit 42 --check 1         # Wrong flag name
+
+# Multiple operations of same type
+backlog task edit 42 --uncheck-ac 1 --uncheck-ac 2  # Uncheck multiple ACs
+backlog task edit 42 --remove-ac 2 --remove-ac 4    # Remove multiple ACs (processed high-to-low)
+```
+
+### Definition of Done checklist (per-task)
+
+Definition of Done items are a second checklist in each task. Defaults come from `definition_of_done` in the project config file (`backlog/config.yml`, `.backlog/config.yml`, or `backlog.config.yml`) or from Web UI Settings, and can be disabled per task.
+
+**Managing Definition of Done via CLI:**
+
+```bash
+# Add DoD items (MULTIPLE values allowed)
+backlog task edit 42 --dod "Run tests" --dod "Update docs"
+
+# Check/uncheck DoD items by index (MULTIPLE values supported)
+backlog task edit 42 --check-dod 1 --check-dod 2
+backlog task edit 42 --uncheck-dod 1
+
+# Remove DoD items by index
+backlog task edit 42 --remove-dod 2
+
+# Create without defaults
+backlog task create "Feature" --no-dod-defaults
+```
+
+**Key Principles for Good ACs:**
+
+- **Outcome-Oriented:** Focus on the result, not the method.
+- **Testable/Verifiable:** Each criterion should be objectively testable
+- **Clear and Concise:** Unambiguous language
+- **Complete:** Collectively cover the task scope
+- **User-Focused:** Frame from end-user or system behavior perspective
+
+Good Examples:
+
+- "User can successfully log in with valid credentials"
+- "System processes 1000 requests per second without errors"
+- "CLI preserves literal newlines in description/plan/notes/comments/final summary; `\\n` sequences are not auto-converted"
+
+Bad Example (Implementation Step):
+
+- "Add a new function handleLogin() in auth.ts"
+- "Define expected behavior and document supported input patterns"
+
+### Task Breakdown Strategy
+
+1. Identify foundational components first
+2. Create tasks in dependency order (foundations before features)
+3. Ensure each task delivers value independently
+4. Avoid creating tasks that block each other
+
+### Task Requirements
+
+- Tasks must be **atomic** and **testable** or **verifiable**
+- Each task should represent a single unit of work for one PR
+- **Never** reference future tasks (only tasks with id < current task id)
+- Ensure tasks are **independent** and don't depend on future work
+
+---
+
+## 5. Implementing Tasks
+
+### 5.1. First step when implementing a task
+
+The very first things you must do when you take over a task are:
+
+* set the task in progress
+* assign it to yourself
+
+```bash
+# Example
+backlog task edit 42 -s "In Progress" -a @{myself}
+```
+
+### 5.2. Review Task References and Documentation
+
+Before planning, check if the task has any attached `references` or `documentation`:
+- **References**: Related code files, GitHub issues, or URLs relevant to the implementation
+- **Documentation**: Design docs, API specs, or other materials for understanding context
+
+These are visible in the task view output. Review them to understand the full context before drafting your plan.
+
+### 5.3. Create an Implementation Plan (The "how")
+
+Previously created tasks contain the why and the what. Once you are familiar with that part you should think about a
+plan on **HOW** to tackle the task and all its acceptance criteria. This is your **Implementation Plan**.
+First do a quick check to see if all the tools that you are planning to use are available in the environment you are
+working in.
+When you are ready, write it down in the task so that you can refer to it later.
+
+```bash
+# Example
+backlog task edit 42 --plan "1. Research codebase for references\n2Research on internet for similar cases\n3. Implement\n4. Test"
+```
+
+## 5.4. Implementation
+
+Once you have a plan, you can start implementing the task. This is where you write code, run tests, and make sure
+everything works as expected. Follow the acceptance criteria one by one and MARK THEM AS COMPLETE as soon as you
+finish them.
+
+### 5.5 Implementation Notes (Progress log)
+
+Use Implementation Notes to log progress, decisions, and blockers as you work.
+Append notes progressively during implementation using `--append-notes`:
+
+```
+backlog task edit 42 --append-notes "Investigated root cause" --append-notes "Added tests for edge case"
+```
+
+```bash
+# Example
+backlog task edit 42 --notes "Initial implementation done; pending integration tests"
+```
+
+### 5.6 Final Summary (PR description)
+
+When you are done implementing a task you need to prepare a PR description for it.
+Because you cannot create PRs directly, write the PR as a clean summary in the Final Summary field.
+
+**Quality bar:** Write it like a reviewer will see it. A one‑liner is rarely enough unless the change is truly trivial.
+Include the key scope so someone can understand the impact without reading the whole diff.
+
+```bash
+# Example
+backlog task edit 42 --final-summary "Implemented pattern X because Reason Y; updated files Z and W; added tests"
+```
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT include an Implementation Plan when creating a task. The plan is added only after you start the
+implementation.
+
+- Creation phase: provide Title, Description, Acceptance Criteria, and optionally labels/priority/assignee.
+- When you begin work, switch to edit, set the task in progress and assign to yourself
+  `backlog task edit <id> -s "In Progress" -a "..."`.
+- Think about how you would solve the task and add the plan: `backlog task edit <id> --plan "..."`.
+- After updating the plan, share it with the user and ask for confirmation. Do not begin coding until the user approves the plan or explicitly tells you to skip the review.
+- Append Implementation Notes during implementation using `--append-notes` as progress is made.
+- Add Final Summary only after completing the work: `backlog task edit <id> --final-summary "..."` (replace) or append using `--append-final-summary`.
+
+## Phase discipline: What goes where
+
+- Creation: Title, Description, Acceptance Criteria, labels/priority/assignee.
+- Implementation: Implementation Plan (after moving to In Progress and assigning to yourself) + Implementation Notes (progress log, appended as you work).
+- Wrap-up: Final Summary (PR description), verify AC and Definition of Done checks.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Only implement what's in the Acceptance Criteria. If you need to do more, either:
+
+1. Update the AC first: `backlog task edit 42 --ac "New requirement"`
+2. Or create a new follow up task: `backlog task create "Additional feature"`
+
+---
+
+## 6. Typical Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Identify work
+backlog task list -s "To Do" --plain
+
+# 2. Read task details
+backlog task 42 --plain
+
+# 3. Start work: assign yourself & change status
+backlog task edit 42 -s "In Progress" -a @myself
+
+# 4. Add implementation plan
+backlog task edit 42 --plan "1. Analyze\n2. Refactor\n3. Test"
+
+# 5. Share the plan with the user and wait for approval (do not write code yet)
+
+# 6. Work on the task (write code, test, etc.)
+
+# 7. Mark acceptance criteria as complete (supports multiple in one command)
+backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1 --check-ac 2 --check-ac 3  # Check all at once
+# Or check them individually if preferred:
+# backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 1
+# backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 2
+# backlog task edit 42 --check-ac 3
+
+# 8. Add Final Summary (PR Description)
+backlog task edit 42 --final-summary "Refactored using strategy pattern, updated tests"
+
+# 9. Mark task as done
+backlog task edit 42 -s Done
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Definition of Done (DoD)
+
+A task is **Done** only when **ALL** of the following are complete:
+
+### ✅ Via CLI Commands:
+
+1. **All acceptance criteria checked**: Use `backlog task edit <id> --check-ac <index>` for each
+2. **All Definition of Done items checked**: Use `backlog task edit <id> --check-dod <index>` for each
+3. **Final Summary added**: Use `backlog task edit <id> --final-summary "..."`
+4. **Status set to Done**: Use `backlog task edit <id> -s Done`
+
+### ✅ Via Code/Testing:
+
+5. **Tests pass**: Run test suite and linting
+6. **Documentation updated**: Update relevant docs if needed
+7. **Code reviewed**: Self-review your changes
+8. **No regressions**: Performance, security checks pass
+
+⚠️ **NEVER mark a task as Done without completing ALL items above**
+
+---
+
+## 8. Finding Tasks and Content with Search
+
+When users ask you to find tasks related to a topic, use the `backlog search` command with `--plain` flag:
+
+```bash
+# Search for tasks about authentication
+backlog search "auth" --plain
+
+# Search only in tasks (not docs/decisions)
+backlog search "login" --type task --plain
+
+# Search with filters
+backlog search "api" --status "In Progress" --plain
+backlog search "bug" --priority high --plain
+
+# Find tasks that modified a project file path
+backlog search --modified-file src/server/api.ts --plain
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Uses fuzzy matching - finds "authentication" when searching "auth"
+- Searches task titles, descriptions, and content
+- Also searches `modified_files`; `--modified-file` applies a case-insensitive path substring filter
+- Also searches documents and decisions unless filtered with `--type task`
+- Always use `--plain` flag for AI-readable output
+
+---

+
+### Multi‑line Input (Description/Plan/Notes/Comments/Final Summary)
+
+The CLI preserves input literally — shells do not convert `\n` inside normal quotes. Use one of the following forms, listed in order of preference for AI agents:
+
+**1. Repeat `--append-*` for each line (works in every shell, including sandboxes that block other forms):**
+
+```bash
+backlog task edit 42 --notes "First line"
+backlog task edit 42 --append-notes "Second line"
+backlog task edit 42 --append-notes "Third line"
+```
+
+**2. Real newlines inside double quotes (single command — pass an actual line break inside the string):**
+
+```bash
+backlog task edit 42 --notes "First line
+Second line
+
+Final paragraph"
+```
+
+The same shape works for `--desc`, `--plan`, `--comment`, `--final-summary`, and the `--append-*` variants.
+
+**3. Shell-specific shorthand (interactive shells only — some AI agent sandboxes reject these):**
+
+- Bash/Zsh (ANSI‑C quoting):
+
+  ```bash
+  backlog task edit 42 --notes $'Line1\nLine2'
+  ```
+
+- POSIX sh (command substitution + printf):
+
+  ```bash
+  backlog task edit 42 --notes "$(printf 'Line1\nLine2')"
+  ```
+
+- PowerShell (backtick‑n):
+
+  ```powershell
+  backlog task edit 42 --notes "Line1`nLine2"
+  ```
+
+Prefer forms **1** and **2** when running under Claude Code, Codex, or any agent harness that screens commands through a tree‑sitter AST walker — those harnesses reject ANSI‑C strings, command substitutions, and heredoc forms (see issue [#595](https://github.com/MrLesk/Backlog.md/issues/595)).
+
+Do not expect the literal sequence `\n` inside double quotes to become a newline. The CLI stores the backslash and `n` as written.
+
+### Implementation Notes Formatting
+
+- Keep implementation notes concise and time-ordered; focus on progress, decisions, and blockers.
+- Use short paragraphs or bullet lists instead of a single long line.
+- Use Markdown bullets (`-` for unordered, `1.` for ordered) for readability.
+- When using CLI flags like `--append-notes`, remember to include explicit
+  newlines. Either repeat the flag once per line:
+
+  ```bash
+  backlog task edit 42 --append-notes "- Added new API endpoint" \
+    --append-notes "- Updated tests" \
+    --append-notes "- TODO: monitor staging deploy"
+  ```
+
+  Or pass real newlines inside the quoted argument:
+
+  ```bash
+  backlog task edit 42 --append-notes "- Added new API endpoint
+  - Updated tests
+  - TODO: monitor staging deploy"
+  ```
+
+### Comments Formatting
+
+- Use comments for task discussion, review notes, questions, and handoff context that should remain visible to humans and agents.
+- Comments are append-only via `backlog task edit <id> --comment "..."`; include `--comment-author @name` when attribution is useful.
+- Comment bodies may contain Markdown, but standalone `---` lines are reserved as comment delimiters.
+- Do not use comments as the primary execution log; use Implementation Notes for progress and Final Summary for the PR description.
+
+### Final Summary Formatting
+
+- Treat the Final Summary as a PR description: lead with the outcome, then add key changes and tests.
+- Keep it clean and structured so it can be pasted directly into GitHub.
+- Prefer short paragraphs or bullet lists and avoid raw progress logs.
+- Aim to cover: **what changed**, **why**, **user impact**, **tests run**, and **risks/follow‑ups** when relevant.
+- Avoid single‑line summaries unless the change is truly tiny.
+
+**Example (good, not rigid):**
+```
+Added Final Summary support across CLI/MCP/Web/TUI to separate PR summaries from progress notes.
+
+Changes:
+- Added `finalSummary` to task types and markdown section parsing/serialization (ordered after notes).
+- CLI/MCP/Web/TUI now render and edit Final Summary; plain output includes it.
+
+Tests:
+- bun test src/test/final-summary.test.ts
+- bun test src/test/cli-final-summary.test.ts
+```
+
+### Task Images (Local Assets)
+
+Tasks may include images for screenshots, diagrams, or visual references. Local images are served automatically when using `backlog browser`.
+
+**Storage location:**
+- Place image files under the `assets/` folder inside your backlog directory (e.g., `backlog/assets/images/screenshot.png`)
+
+**Supported formats:**
+- png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg, webp, avif (served with correct Content-Type)
+
+**Markdown syntax in tasks:**
+```markdown
+![example](assets/images/screenshot.png)
+```
+
+**Workflow when adding images to tasks:**
+1. Move or copy the image file into the `assets/` folder inside your backlog directory (e.g., `backlog/assets/images/screenshot.png`)
+2. Then add or edit the task content via CLI, referencing the image using the `assets/<relative-path>` path
+
+**Key points:**
+- The path in Markdown starts with `assets/` and maps to the backlog directory's `assets/` folder; do **not** include the backlog directory name itself
+- When `backlog browser` is running, these files are automatically available at `assets/<relative-path>`
+- You can add images to descriptions, implementation notes, or final summaries using the standard CLI commands
+
+### Document Management
+
+> Docs are used for long-term project reference information, such as development standards, configuration guides, architecture documentation, etc. They differ from `tasks/` (specific tasks), `decisions/` (decision records), and `drafts/` (drafts).
+
+Use Backlog.md public interfaces for document creation and updates so IDs, frontmatter, paths, and search metadata stay consistent.
+
+#### CLI Usage
+
+The CLI supports creating, updating, listing, and viewing documents.
+
+```bash
+# Create a new doc (saved under backlog/docs/ by default)
+backlog doc create "API Guidelines"
+
+# Create in a subdirectory (nested paths supported)
+backlog doc create "Setup Guide" -p guides/setup
+
+# Specify type at creation time
+backlog doc create "Architecture" -t guide
+
+# Update content while preserving omitted metadata
+backlog doc update doc-1 --content "Updated markdown"
+
+# Update metadata or move a doc within backlog/docs/
+backlog doc update doc-1 --title "Setup Handbook" -t guide --tags setup,runbook -p guides
+
+# List all docs (searched globally across subdirectories)
+backlog doc list
+
+# View a specific doc
+backlog doc view doc-1
+```
+
+#### MCP / API Usage
+
+- Use `document_create` to create documents with title, content, optional type/tags, and optional docs-directory-relative path.
+- Use `document_update` to update document content, title, type, tags, or path while preserving document metadata.
+- Document responses include the persisted docs-relative file path so agents can reference the created file without scanning source internals.
+
+#### Key Rules
+
+- Document paths are relative to `backlog/docs/`; absolute paths and `..` traversal are rejected.
+- Supported document types are `readme`, `guide`, `specification`, and `other`.
+- Document IDs are global across the entire docs tree, including nested subfolders.
+- Prefer CLI, MCP, or Web document APIs over ad-hoc file writes so frontmatter and metadata remain valid.

+| Task not found       | Check task ID with `backlog task list --plain`                     |
+| AC won't check       | Use correct index: `backlog task 42 --plain` to see AC numbers     |
+| Changes not saving   | Ensure you're using CLI, not editing files                         |
+| Metadata out of sync | Re-edit via CLI to fix: `backlog task edit 42 -s <current-status>` |
+

+
+## Remember: The Golden Rule
+
+**🎯 If you want to change ANYTHING in a task, use the `backlog task edit` command.**
+**📖 Use CLI to read tasks, exceptionally READ task files directly, never WRITE to them.**

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Flags recorded in PROGRESS.md that need filing against ably/specification and/or the realtime service: (1) SERVICE: nonprod sandbox emits duplicate map keys in msgpack MESSAGE frames — serde-strict clients drop every message; we ship a tolerant-decode workaround. (2) UTS conflict: RTP8j (wildcard enter errors) vs RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4 setups using clientId='*' with plain enter(). (3) Corrupt RSP5g cipher fixture. (4) revoke_tokens unit mocks use the legacy array body instead of the BatchResult envelope. (5) request.md HP semantics vs token_renewal.md FAILS-WITH inconsistency.

Subject: [PATCH 25/68] Backlog: four tasks from the post-completion review

TASK-11 integration-spec traceability + missing realtime-integration tests
(157 untraced IDs, realtime/integration largely uncovered); TASK-12 fix the
18 unverified claim-set matrix mappings (RSA16a capability proven false);
TASK-13 systematic logging pass (6 call sites today, silent discard paths,
no default sink); TASK-14 connection.rs refactor (3k lines, duplicated
attach-time presence/re-entry logic).

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+The coverage matrix only spans rest/unit + realtime/unit (963 IDs). Untraced: rest/integration (84 IDs — ~68 live tests exist with spec-pointed names, likely substantial coverage but unverified per-ID) and realtime/integration (73 IDs — largely UNCOVERED: connection/channel/presence lifecycle suites plus 30 proxy-fault IDs vs our 8 proxy tests and ~6 live proofs). Also record uts/objects (322 LiveObjects IDs) as an explicit out-of-scope exclusion rather than silent absence. Treat as a proper stage: extend tools/uts_coverage_generate.py + tests_uts_coverage.rs to the integration areas, map what exists, then write the missing realtime-integration tests (live sandbox + uts-proxy faults).

Subject: [PATCH 26/68] Policies preventing the review shortfalls;
 area-completeness ratchet

DESIGN.md gains a NORMATIVE observability policy (levels, no-silent-discard
rule, trace-at-entry, secrets exclusion); CLAUDE.md gains three binding
engineering policies: instrumentation is part of done, the whole UTS tree
is dispositioned, matrix mappings are verified claims (generators draft,
humans disposition).

Mechanical half: tests_uts_coverage.rs now enumerates every uts/ area
containing Test IDs and fails unless the area is traced or carries an
explicit '!area <name> -- <reason>' line; negative-tested. The integration
areas are dispositioned as visible IOUs pending TASK-11; objects/ and docs/
as out-of-scope with reasons.

 See `DESIGN.md` for the API surface and the plan in `.claude/plans/noble-strolling-marble.md` for phase tracking. `PROGRESS.md` tracks what's done per phase (all phases COMPLETE as of 2026-06-12).
 
+## Engineering policies (BINDING — added 2026-06-12 after review)
+
+These exist because each absence caused a real shortfall; they extend the
+definition of done for ALL subsequent work:
+
+1. **Observability is part of done.** Every change instruments per the
+   normative policy in DESIGN.md "Observability (logging) policy": Micro
+   trace at new API entries, Major for state transitions, Error for ANY
+   discarded data — no silent discards, ever. Discard paths get a test that
+   asserts the log.
+2. **The whole UTS tree is dispositioned.** tests_uts_coverage.rs enumerates
+   every area under uts/ that contains Test IDs; each area is either traced
+   in the matrix or carries an explicit `!area <name> -- <reason>` line.
+   An unaccounted area fails the build — "we didn't look there" cannot recur.
+3. **Matrix mappings are verified claims.** A generator/bootstrap may only
+   produce drafts; a mapping line asserting coverage of a Test ID must have
+   had its specific variant verified by a human-reviewed disposition. One ID
+   → several tests is only valid when each listed test genuinely contributes
+   to that ID's assertions. When in doubt, leave `?? UNRESOLVED` and let the
+   ratchet fail until resolved.

+## Observability (logging) policy — NORMATIVE
+
+Added 2026-06-12 after review found 6 log call sites in the whole library and
+silent-discard paths. This section is binding for all subsequent work; per
+CLAUDE.md, instrumentation per this policy is part of every change's
+definition of done.
+
+Levels (RSC2 scale) and what belongs at each:
+
+- **Error** — anything discarded or failed that a user would need to diagnose:
+  undecodable inbound frames (including tolerant-decode failures), undecodable
+  message/presence/annotation entries, ACK/NACK for unknown serials, transport
+  write failures, token acquisition failures that surface to state.
+- **Major** — material lifecycle events: connection state transitions (with
+  reason), channel state transitions (with reason), resume outcome
+  (success/failed + why), forced disconnects, re-entry failures, warnings
+  (missing modes, non-renewable tokens).
+- **Minor** — protocol-event detail: retry scheduling (delay, attempt),
+  host-fallback steps, AUTH/token renewal flow, sync start/complete,
+  queue/flush of pending operations.
+- **Micro** — trace: entry to every public API method (name + key arguments),
+  HTTP request/response lines, protocol messages sent/received (action +
+  channel + serial; never payloads or credentials).
+
+Rules:
+1. **No silent discards.** Every code path that drops data it received or
+   abandons an operation MUST log (Error or Major) with enough context to
+   diagnose — channel, action, serial as applicable.
+2. **Never log secrets or payloads**: no tokens, keys, message data, or
+   presence data at any level; ids/serials/names are fine.
+3. New public API methods land WITH their Micro entry trace; new state
+   machines land WITH their Major transition logs.
+4. The default client has no handler installed; library code must not assume
+   a sink exists (the `log` helper gates this) — but features SHOULD be
+   testable by installing a handler, and discard-path tests assert the log.
+

Subject: [PATCH 27/68] =?UTF-8?q?TASK-13:=20systematic=20observability=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20Logger,=20~36=20sites,=20no=20silent=20discards?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Logger handle in options.rs (level-gated, lazy formatting, cloneable) with
an optional 'tracing' cargo feature bridging to the tracing crate when no
handler is installed. Instrumented per the DESIGN.md observability policy:
Major for connection/channel transitions and UPDATEs; Minor for resume
outcomes, retry scheduling, queue flush/resend, SYNC lifecycle; Micro for
every realtime API entry and the wire; Error for every discard path —
undecodable frames (incl. tolerant-msgpack failures that previously
vanished), undecodable entries, unknown-serial ACK/NACK, transport write
failures. Three policy tests assert discards/transitions/traces log.

Suite: 1300 / 0 / 41; clippy clean on default and tracing features.

Subject: [PATCH 28/68] TASK-11: UTS traceability extended to integration
 specs; 41 new live/proxy tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Matrix now spans rest+realtime, unit+integration: 1120 IDs — 1056 mapped,
66 excluded with reasons, 0 unresolved; objects/ and docs/ dispositioned
via !area lines. Ratchet (tests_uts_coverage.rs) scans all four areas.

New: tests_realtime_integration.rs (13 live-sandbox tests) and
tests_proxy_realtime.rs (28 uts-proxy fault-injection tests over the real
WebSocket transport). Full serial suite: 1342 passed / 0 failed / 41 ignored.

SDK fixes the new tests forced:
- RTL15b: SYNC no longer updates the channel serial — the sync cursor is not
  a channel serial, and sending it back in a reattach ATTACH (RTL4c1) was
  rejected by the server ("Unable to parse channel params").
- RTN15h1: DISCONNECTED token error with a non-renewable token now fails the
  connection with 40171 (was pass-through 40142), server error kept as cause
  (TI1). Unit-spec conflict recorded in TASK-9 (item 6).
- RTN19a: typed PendingPayload — resends reconstruct the same ProtocolMessage
  kind (MESSAGE/PRESENCE/ANNOTATION) instead of pre-serialized JSON.

Test-infra fixes:
- uts-proxy spawns with null stdio (inherited stdout held test pipes open).
- Randomized proxy port base + session-create retry (sessions orphaned by
  panicked tests hold their port on the long-lived daemon).
- await_state reads a coalescing watch and misses ms-fast DISCONNECTED
  transients; fast reconnect cycles are asserted via a broadcast recorder
  (await_states_in_order) or the proxy event log.
- Coverage generator: bare fn names deduplicate across modules — integration
  eligibility now considers every module a name passes in.

+## Outcome
+
+Matrix now spans all four areas: 1120 IDs — 1056 mapped, 66 excluded with
+reasons, 0 unresolved; objects/ and docs/ dispositioned via `!area` lines.
+New test files: tests_realtime_integration.rs (13 live-sandbox tests),
+tests_proxy_realtime.rs (28 uts-proxy fault tests). Full serial suite:
+1342 passed / 0 failed / 41 ignored.
+
+SDK bugs found and fixed by the new tests:
+- RTL15b: SYNC frames wrongly updated the channel serial with the sync cursor,
+  which the server then rejected on reattach ("Unable to parse channel params").
+- RTN15h1: token error + non-renewable token now fails with 40171 (was a
+  pass-through 40142), the server error preserved as `cause` (TI1). The
+  unit-spec/proxy-spec conflict on this is recorded in TASK-9 (item 6).
+Test-infra fixes: proxy daemon spawns with null stdio (was holding test pipes
+open), randomized proxy port base + session-create retry (orphaned sessions
+from panicked tests held fixed ports), await_state cannot observe fast
+transients (watch coalescing) — broadcast recorder used instead.

(6) RTN15h1 error-code conflict: unit spec `connection_failures_test.md` asserts errorReason.code == 40142 (pass-through of the server's token error), but the proxy integration spec `connection_resume.md` asserts 40171 with an explicit note that ably-js substitutes "no way to renew" — the unit spec should be updated to 40171. Our SDK and both tests follow the 40171 behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH 29/68] TASK-12: eliminate unverified claim-set mappings; 10
 new variant tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The generator's score-0 fallback claimed spec variants by listing every
same-token test without verifying any of them covered the variant. The class
had grown to 31 IDs. Each was dispositioned by reading the spec variant and
the candidate test: 17 tightened to the single verified covering test, 10 new
tests written, 4 excluded with reasons (fallbackHostsUseDefault deliberately
not exposed; connectivity check is TASK-5 scope). The fallback now emits
`?? UNRESOLVED` with the candidate list, so the class cannot reappear.
Matrix: 1052 mapped / 70 excluded / 0 unresolved; ratchet green.

SDK bugs the tightened tests forced out:
- Annotations skipped RSL4 data encoding on publish (REST and realtime) and
  RSL6 decoding on receipt/list — a JSON payload went out as a raw object
  instead of a string with encoding "json" (RTAN1a/RSAN1c3/RTAN4b1).
- A connect-time 40102 IncompatibleCredentials (token clientId vs configured
  clientId) was retried forever; per RSA15c it is terminal — the connection
  now transitions to FAILED.

Notable new tests: rtl10b_until_attach_bounded_by_attach_point proves the
fromSerial attach bound behaviorally against the live sandbox (the unit mock
cannot see the HTTP layer until TASK-5, and the uts-proxy strips query
strings from its http_request log); rtp5f_suspended_maintains_presence_map
drives a real connection into SUSPENDED via a 1ms connectionStateTtl.

-- [ ] #3 Generator no longer auto-claims unverified candidate sets
+- [x] #1 All 18 multi-test mappings verified or replaced with new variant tests

 <!-- AC:END -->

+## Outcome
+
+The class had grown to 31 IDs (the TASK-11 integration tests added 13 more
+score-0 fallbacks). Disposition: 17 verified single-test mappings, 10 new
+tests, 4 exclusions (fallbackHostsUseDefault not exposed; connectivity check
+is TASK-5). The generator's score-0 fallback now emits `?? UNRESOLVED` with
+the candidate list, so unverified claim-sets cannot reappear; only 2 curated
+multi-test mappings remain (RTB1, human-verified). Matrix: 1052 mapped /
+70 excluded / 0 unresolved.
+
+New tests: rsa16a_reflects_capability, rec2c2_explicit_hostname_endpoint_no_fallbacks,
+rtn7d_pending_publishes_fail_on_disconnected_without_queueing,
+rtn15e_connection_key_updated_on_resume, rtp5a_failed_clears_presence_maps,
+rtp5f_suspended_maintains_presence_map, rtp15f_enter_client_mismatched_client_id_errors,
+rsa7_mismatched_client_id_fails (live), rtl10b_until_attach_bounded_by_attach_point
+(live behavioral proof of the fromSerial bound), plus RSL4 encoding assertions
+added to the annotation wire test.
+
+SDK bugs found and fixed by the tightened tests:
+- Annotation data was sent RAW (no RSL4 encoding) on both the REST and
+  realtime publish paths, and inbound/listed annotations were never decoded.
+  Fixed: encode per RSL4 (no cipher) on publish/delete, decode on receipt
+  (RTAN1a/RSAN1c3/RTAN4b1).
+- A connect-time 40102 (token clientId incompatible with the configured
+  clientId) retried forever; per RSA15c it now transitions to FAILED.

Subject: [PATCH 30/68] TASK-1: JWT fixture + the 3 JWT integration tests, live
 and green

generate_jwt() mints Ably-shaped HS256 JWTs (kid=keyName, x-ably-clientId).
rsa8_jwt_token_auth, rsa8_auth_callback_jwt and
rsc10_token_renewal_with_expired_jwt replace their ignored stubs; the matrix
maps their IDs to the real tests (they were auto-matched to
plausible-but-wrong ones). Suite: 1354 / 0 / 38.

An "expired" JWT needs iat in the past too: with iat=now and exp<now the
server computes a negative ttl and rejects the JWT as malformed (400/40003)
rather than expired (401/40142), which never exercises RSC10 renewal.

+## Outcome
+
+jsonwebtoken 9 was already a dev-dependency; the gap was the fixture and the
+tests. Added `generate_jwt()` (HS256, kid=keyName, x-ably-clientId claim) and
+implemented all three: rsa8_jwt_token_auth, rsa8_auth_callback_jwt,
+rsc10_token_renewal_with_expired_jwt — all green live. The matrix's three JWT
+IDs (previously auto-mapped to plausible-but-wrong tests) now map to the real
+ones. Suite: 1354 passed / 0 failed / 38 ignored.
+
+Gotcha worth keeping: an "expired" JWT must have iat in the past too — with
+iat=now and exp in the past the server derives a negative ttl and rejects the
+JWT as malformed (400/40003 "Invalid value for ttl") instead of expired
+(401/40142), which never triggers RSC10 renewal.

Subject: [PATCH 31/68] =?UTF-8?q?TASK-4:=20RTN16=20connection=20recovery?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20recover=3D,=20createRecoveryKey,=209=20IDs=20gre?=

MIME-Version: 1.0

A new client instance can now recover a previous instance's connection.
- ClientOptions::recover(key); malformed keys log an error and connect
  fresh (RTN16f1).
- Connection::create_recovery_key(): loop-command snapshot serializing
  connectionKey + msgSerial + attached channels' serials (ably-js JSON
  format, unicode-safe); None in CLOSING/CLOSED/FAILED/SUSPENDED or before
  the first connection (RTN16g/g1/g2).
- The recover query param goes on the first connect attempt only, mutually
  exclusive with resume (RTN16k). msgSerial seeds from the key and survives
  a clean recovery CONNECTED; a recovery failure resets it per RTN15c7
  (RTN16f). Channel serials seed ChannelCtx creation so the first ATTACH
  carries them (RTN16j/RTL4c1).
- No new locks: everything lives in the loop-owned state (AC #3).

Tests: 6 UTS unit IDs + RTC1c; proxy RTN16d (real-sandbox recovery preserves
connectionId, rotates the key) and RTN16l (failure -> fresh id + 80008,
still CONNECTED); rtn16_live_recovery_proof kills a client without a
protocol CLOSE and shows the successor keeps the connectionId and continues
msgSerial 1->2. The 8 stale ignored recovery stubs are deleted.
Matrix: 0 unresolved. Suite: 1363 passed / 0 failed / 30 ignored.

 ## Acceptance Criteria
 <!-- AC:BEGIN -->
-- [ ] #1 All 6 connection_recovery_test.md IDs + RTC1c mapped to green UTS-derived tests
-- [ ] #2 Live sandbox recovery proof test
-- [ ] #3 Lock-inventory ratchet unchanged
+- [x] #1 All 6 connection_recovery_test.md IDs + RTC1c mapped to green UTS-derived tests
+- [x] #2 Live sandbox recovery proof test
+- [x] #3 Lock-inventory ratchet unchanged
 <!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Outcome
+
+Implemented entirely inside the loop-owned state model — zero new locks.
+- `ClientOptions::recover(key)`; a malformed key logs an error and connects
+  fresh (RTN16f1).
+- `Connection::create_recovery_key()` (async, loop-command snapshot): JSON of
+  connectionKey + msgSerial + attached channels' serials, ably-js format;
+  None in CLOSING/CLOSED/FAILED/SUSPENDED or pre-connect (RTN16g/g1/g2).
+- Loop: recover param on the first attempt only (RTN16k, consumed at
+  start_connect, mutually exclusive with resume); msgSerial seeded (RTN16f)
+  and kept on a clean recovery CONNECTED / reset on failure (RTN15c7);
+  channel serials seed ChannelCtx at EnsureChannel so the first ATTACH
+  carries them (RTN16j/RTL4c1).
+- Tests: 6 UTS unit IDs + RTC1c mapped; 2 uts-proxy tests (RTN16d preserved
+  connectionId + rotated key against the REAL sandbox; RTN16l failure →
+  fresh id + 80008, still CONNECTED); rtn16_live_recovery_proof drops a
+  client without protocol CLOSE and proves the new instance keeps the
+  connectionId and continues msgSerial 1→2. The 8 stale ignored stubs were
+  deleted. Matrix: all 9 recovery IDs mapped, 0 unresolved.
+  Suite: 1363 / 0 / 30.

Subject: [PATCH 32/68] Docs: record TASK-11/12/1/4 in PROGRESS.md; refresh
 CLAUDE.md test baseline

PROGRESS.md gains the four post-observability backlog completions
(integration traceability, verified claim-set mappings, JWT tests, RTN16
recovery) that previously existed only as commit messages. CLAUDE.md's
baseline updated 1287/0/61 -> 1363/0/30 with the unit vs integration split,
and the test-organization list now reflects tests_realtime_integration.rs
(live) and tests_proxy_realtime.rs. Suite re-verified green 2026-07-19.

+- SDK bugs the tightened tests forced out:
+  - Annotations skipped RSL4 data encoding on publish (REST and realtime)

+    (RTAN1a/RSAN1c3/RTAN4b1).
+  - A connect-time 40102 IncompatibleCredentials (token clientId vs

+## Re-evaluation against specification@main (2da26476-era, 2026-07-19)
+
+UTS is now upstream on ably/specification main, and main's
+`uts/docs/writing-derived-tests.md` (commit 1da26476) mandates SPEC-FIRST
+handling: UTS spec errors are fixed at source in the spec repo and recorded
+in the SDK's deviations file (UTS Spec Errors section) — not merely filed as
+observations. Per-item status on latest main:
+
+1. SERVICE msgpack duplicate keys — UNAFFECTED by the spec repo; still needs
+   an internal service ticket. Open question: does prod emit them too?
+2. RTP8j wildcard conflict — MOSTLY FIXED upstream: the RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4
+   setups now use enterClient with a top-level adaptation note for SDKs that
+   reject "*" at construction. RESIDUAL: RTP15c
+   `realtime/unit/RTP15c/enterclient-no-side-effects-0`
+   (realtime_presence_enter.md ~line 938) still calls plain `enter(data:)`
+   with clientId "*" and asserts success — contradicts RTP8j/features spec
+   ("wildcard → enter errors immediately"). One-line fix: concrete clientId
+   (reentry.md already does exactly this).
+3. RSP5g cipher fixture — STILL CORRUPT on main: rest_presence.md has
+   "HO4cYSP8LybPYBPZPHQOtuD53yrD3YV3NBoTEYBh4U0=" (32 bytes), a truncation
+   of the canonical ably-common fixture
+   "HO4cYSP8LybPYBPZPHQOtuD53yrD3YV3NBoTEYBh4U0N1QXHbtkfsDfTspKeLQFt"
+   (48 bytes) that our rsp5g test uses.
+4. revoke_tokens legacy array mocks — FIXED upstream: revoke_tokens.md now
+   mandates and uses the BatchResult envelope. CLOSED, nothing to file.
+5. request.md HP vs token_renewal.md — RESOLVED upstream: token_renewal.md
+   no longer routes failure flows through request() (uses history()/
+   status()). CLOSED, nothing to file.
+6. RTN15h1 40142 vs 40171 — STILL PRESENT: connection_failures_test.md line
+   ~82 asserts errorReason.code == 40142; connection_resume.md ~516-520
+   asserts 40171. The features spec settles it: RSA4a2 says "indicate an
+   error with error code 40171 ... transition the connection to the FAILED
+   state". The unit spec is the one in error; fix to 40171.
+
+Revised scope: ONE spec PR fixing items 2-residual, 3 and 6 (all small,
+authority-backed); ONE internal service ticket for item 1 (after checking
+prod behaviour). Items 4 and 5 need no action.
+
+FILED 2026-07-19: https://github.com/ably/specification/pull/507 covers all
+spec-side items. Scope grew during drafting: RSA7c reserves "*" as a
+ClientOptions#clientId value, so EVERY `clientId: "*"` setup in
+realtime_presence_enter.md was unrunnable on a compliant SDK — the PR fixes
+the whole class (enterClient tests -> unidentified key auth; RTP8j wildcard
+via wildcard token; RTP15c -> two clients since RTP8j + RTP15f mean no single
+clientId permits both enter() and enterClient(other); reentry.md's identified
+"admin" + enterClient(other) also violated RTP15f). Cross-checked against
+ably-js test/uts on main: their RTP15c adaptation only passes because they
+skip the client-side RTP15f check; their RTN15h1 unit test omits the code
+assertion; their RSP5g is skipped (cipher TODO). ably-js's realtime-audit.md
+items were all verified fixed on current mains (their audit item 9 partly
+mis-blamed channel_connection_state.md — its suspendedRetryTimeout usage is
+connection-level and correct).
+
+REMAINING: (a) item 1 service ticket — check prod for duplicate msgpack keys
+first; (b) after PR merge: re-derive our rtp15c/rtp8j-wildcard tests to the
+new spec shapes and drop the stale "unit spec contradicts" comment in
+rtn15h1_disconnected_token_error_without_renewal_fails; (c) optional small
+ably-js follow-up PR (re-translate RTP15c, add 40171 assertion).

+ROOT CAUSE FOUND (2026-07-19), item 1 — Go frontdoor:
+`roles/frontdoor/protocol/protocol_message.go`, `marshalCommon`. For MESSAGE
+actions it encodes `struct { *Alias; Messages any }` where both the embedded
+Alias's `Messages` field and the outer `Messages` carry the tag
+`json:"messages,omitempty"` (MarshalMsgpack uses vmihailenco/msgpack v5.4.1
+with SetCustomStructTag("json")). encoding/json resolves the collision by
+depth (outer shadows embedded — one key); vmihailenco inlines embedded
+fields WITHOUT shadowing and emits BOTH — it even logs "msgpack: struct
+{...} already has field=messages" (greppable in frontdoor logs) but encodes
+anyway. JSON clean, msgpack duplicated — the exact observed symptom. The
+SYNC branch has the identical pattern with `presence` (duplicate whenever
+p.Presence is non-empty). Values are byte-identical (both fields reference
+p.Messages), so last-wins dedup is safe.
+- Standalone repro (v5.4.1): hexdump shows map header 0x84 with "messages"
+  twice; JSON has it once.
+- LIVE CAPTURE from sandbox: first MESSAGE frame received had top-level keys
+  [action id channel channelSerial connectionId messages timestamp messages];
+  raw frame + hexdump saved at
+  `/Users/paddy/data/worknew/dev/rust-experiments/duplicate-key-frame.{bin,hex}`.
+- Suggested fix: only apply the wrapper when it is needed (MessagesV3
+  non-empty for MESSAGE; p.Presence empty for SYNC) and encode the plain
+  Alias otherwise — the "only one populated" guarantee then makes omitempty
+  drop the embedded field, leaving exactly one key in both formats.

Subject: [PATCH 36/68] Workaround hardening: pin tolerant decode to
 ably/realtime#8555

The duplicate-key workaround in decode_msgpack_tolerant now cites the filed
service issue and the confirmed shapes: `messages` duplicated in every
msgpack MESSAGE, `presence` in a SYNC with members, values byte-identical
(so last-wins is faithful, not just tolerant). New unit test decodes both
shapes from rmpv-built frames with the duplicate appended last, matching the
captured live frame's key order. Suite: 1364 pass / 0 fail / 30 ignored.

Subject: [PATCH 38/68] TASK-2: PresenceMessage::size() (TP5)

Same formula as TM6 minus name (PresenceMessage has none): clientId +
JSON-stringified extras + data lengths. The Data/extras sizing is shared
with message_size via helpers. Un-ignored tp5_presence_message_size with
the two spec cases plus a binary+extras variant; TP5 matrix exclusion
converted to a mapping.

Subject: [PATCH 39/68] TASK-3: TM2s1/TM2s2 Message.version defaulting

A received message without a complete version object gets one initialized
from its own fields: version.serial from the TM2r serial, version.timestamp
from the TM2f timestamp, each only when set and never overwriting received
subfields. Runs in Message::decode_with_cipher so every ingestion path gets
it; the realtime MESSAGE dispatch now calls decode_with_cipher instead of
its inline duplicate of the decode block, so inheritance (TM2a/c/f) still
precedes defaulting. Un-ignored the TM2s1/s2 test with received-version and
bare-message variants; matrix exclusion converted.

Suite: unit 1241/0/26; live integration + proxy serial 125/0/2.

Subject: [PATCH 40/68] TASK-5: dual WS+HTTP mock injection, then the RTN17j
 connectivity check
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Realtime::with_mocks injects both transports; with_mock now embeds a
default HTTP mock (connectivity "yes", loud network-error otherwise) so
unit tests never touch the network. REC3 connectivityCheckUrl option with
the REC3a default and REC3b override; Connection::check_connectivity()
public probe (unauthenticated GET per WP6d, "yes"-body check).

RTN17j: every fallback-qualifying failure (RTN17f connect error/transport
drop/timeout, RTN17f1 5xx DISCONNECTED) probes the connectivity URL from a
spawned generation-tagged task before the first fallback attempt of the
cycle — internet up proceeds to fallbacks, down skips them into the RTN14
retry state. Zero new locks; the loop still never awaits I/O.

5 new tests; REC3/REC3a/REC3b exclusions converted and the RTN17j
connectivity-check ID retargeted to the real probe test.
Suite: unit 1246/0/26; live integration + proxy serial 125/0/2.

 RTN17j: before host fallback, probe the connectivity check URL to distinguish 'Ably down' from 'no internet'. The implementation is small; the blocker (recorded since 5.3) is test plumbing — Realtime::with_mock injects only the WS transport while the embedded Rest builds its own HTTP client. Add a combined injection path, then implement the probe + UTS tests.
 <!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Implementation notes (2026-07-19)
+
+- Dual injection: `Realtime::with_mocks(options, transport, http_mock)`
+  builds the embedded Rest via rest_with_mock. `Realtime::with_mock`
+  (single-mock) now embeds a default MockHttpClient that answers the
+  connectivity check URL with 200 "yes" and simulates a network error for
+  anything else — every existing fallback test stays hermetic and any
+  accidental REST call in a unit test fails loudly. Both constructors are
+  #[cfg(test)].
+- REC3: ClientOptions::connectivity_check_url (default REC3a URL, REC3b
+  builder override). Public probe: Connection::check_connectivity() →
+  Rest::check_connectivity() — plain unauthenticated GET (WP6d), timeout
+  http_request_timeout, true iff 2xx and body contains "yes".
+- RTN17j: all four fallback-qualifying failure sites (connect error,
+  transport closed while connecting, RTN17f1 5xx DISCONNECTED, connect
+  timeout) now route through fallback_or_retry(): before the FIRST fallback
+  attempt of a connect cycle the loop spawns the probe (generation-tagged
+  LoopInput::Connectivity; the loop still never awaits I/O); "yes" proceeds
+  to the fallback cycle, failure skips the fallbacks and enters the RTN14
+  retry state. connectivity_checked resets per cycle in start_connect. Zero
+  new locks.
+- Tests: rec3_connectivity_check_validation (5 response cases),
+  rec3a/rec3b URL tests, rtn17j_connectivity_check_before_fallback,
+  rtn17j_no_internet_skips_fallback. Matrix: 3 REC3 exclusions converted;
+  RTN17j/connectivity-check-before-fallback-0 retargeted from the
+  random-order test to the real probe test.

Subject: [PATCH 41/68] TASK-14: connection.rs -> submodules; dedupe
 attach-time presence logic
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

connection.rs (3,417 lines) becomes connection/{mod,channel_arm,
presence_arm,publish_arm}.rs. The ownership model is untouched: every state
type stays in mod.rs, owned by the loop; the arms hold only behaviour
(pub(super)/pub(crate) methods on the same structs). The conformance
ratchet now scans all four files at allowance 0.

The duplicated RTP17i re-entry block and HAS_PRESENCE attach handling
(each pasted twice in handle_attached) are now single helpers:
ConnectionCtx::reenter_internal_members and ChannelCtx::apply_has_presence.
A PendingReply enum (Publish/Op) on PendingPublish replaces the per-op
spawned oneshot-bridge tasks for presence and annotation ops; raw
91004/91005 codes replaced with ErrorCode variants.

No behavior change: suite identical before and after — unit 1246/0/26,
live integration + proxy serial 125/0/2, both ratchets green.

+### TASK-2 PresenceMessage::size (TP5) — DONE (2026-07-19, e3ab50b)
+- Same formula as TM6 minus name: clientId + JSON-stringified extras + data

+  tp5_presence_message_size un-ignored (3 variants); matrix mapped.
+
+### TASK-3 TM2s1/TM2s2 version defaulting — DONE (2026-07-19, 77fde00)
+- Message::default_version() in decode_with_cipher: a received message
+  without a complete version object gets version.serial from the TM2r
+  serial and version.timestamp from the TM2f timestamp (each only when set,
+  never overwriting received subfields). Realtime MESSAGE dispatch now uses
+  decode_with_cipher instead of an inline duplicate, so TM2a/c/f
+  inheritance still precedes defaulting. Matrix TM2s1 exclusion converted.
+
+### TASK-5 Dual mock injection + RTN17j — DONE (2026-07-19, 4207a10)
+- Realtime::with_mocks injects WS + HTTP mocks; with_mock embeds a default
+  HTTP mock (connectivity "yes", loud network-error otherwise). REC3
+  connectivityCheckUrl option (REC3a default, REC3b override);
+  Connection::check_connectivity() public probe (unauthenticated GET per
+  WP6d; true iff 2xx and body contains "yes").
+- RTN17j: every fallback-qualifying failure (RTN17f/f1) probes the
+  connectivity URL from a spawned generation-tagged task before the first
+  fallback attempt of the cycle; internet up proceeds to fallbacks, down
+  skips to the RTN14 retry state. Zero new locks. 5 new tests; REC3/a/b
+  exclusions converted; the RTN17j connectivity ID retargeted to the real
+  probe test. Suite: 1371 pass / 0 fail / 28 ignored.

+- connection.rs (3,417 lines) split into connection/{mod,channel_arm,
+  presence_arm,publish_arm}.rs with the ownership model untouched — state

+  all four files at allowance 0. Duplicated RTP17i re-entry and

+## Implementation notes (2026-07-19)
+
+- Split: src/connection.rs (3,417 lines) -> connection/mod.rs (~2,070: types,
+  loop core, connect cycle, transports, timers, command/protocol dispatch) +
+  channel_arm.rs (~760: ChannelCtx behaviour, attach/detach lifecycle,
+  connection-state effects, inbound MESSAGE) + presence_arm.rs (~370:
+  presence/annotation ops, RTP11 get, inbound PRESENCE/SYNC/ANNOTATION) +
+  publish_arm.rs (~240: RTL6 pipeline, RTN19a resend, ACK/NACK). ALL state
+  types stay in mod.rs — the ownership model is untouched; arms hold only
+  pub(super)/pub(crate) behaviour on the same structs.
+- Conformance ratchet scans all four files at allowance 0 (channel.rs still 1).
+- Dedupe: ChannelCtx::apply_has_presence (RTP1/RTP19a flag handling, with a
+  `publish` flag preserving each call site's snapshot behaviour) and
+  ConnectionCtx::reenter_internal_members (RTP17i/RTP17g1/RTP17e) — each
+  formerly pasted twice in handle_attached.
+- PendingReply enum (Publish/Op) on PendingPublish replaces the per-op
+  spawned oneshot-bridge tasks for presence and annotation ops; ACK/NACK/
+  fail-all resolve through PendingReply::resolve. Dropped-loop behaviour is
+  preserved via the callers' closed_loop_error mapping.
+- Raw 91004/91005 replaced with ErrorCode::UnableToAutomaticallyReEnter-
+  PresenceChannel / ErrorCode::PresenceStateIsOutOfSync.
+- Suite identical before/after: unit 1246/0/26, live+proxy serial 125/0/2.

Subject: [PATCH 42/68] TASK-10 (1/4): sandbox app teardown at test-process
 exit
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

get_sandbox() registers a libc::atexit handler on first provision; the
handler DELETEs /apps/{appId} with basic key auth as a raw HTTP/1.1
request over std TcpStream + native-tls. An async runtime cannot be
started inside atexit — reqwest's blocking client aborts the process
there — so the request is hand-rolled with explicit error handling and
graceful degradation (sandbox apps are autodelete-labelled anyway).
Verified live: DELETE returns 204 and the handler logs one line at exit.

 <!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
 Older recorded deferrals from R5/R6: sandbox app teardown after integration runs; dedup the per-file mock_client/get_mock test_support helpers; rename the none_/hp legacy test prefixes to spec-pointed names.

+## Progress
+
+- [x] Sandbox app teardown (2026-07-19): get_sandbox() registers a
+  libc::atexit handler on first provision; the handler issues a raw
+  HTTP/1.1 DELETE /apps/{appId} over std TcpStream + native-tls with basic
+  key auth. NO async runtime inside the handler — reqwest's blocking client
+  spins one up and aborts the process at exit (verified the hard way); raw
+  TLS is the only reliable shape there. Failures degrade gracefully (apps
+  are autodelete-labelled). Verified live: "sandbox teardown: deleted app
+  _tmp_uWevcQ (204)".
+- [ ] Dedup per-file mock_client/get_mock helpers (12 files x ~3 each)
+- [ ] Rename none_/hp_ legacy prefixes (71 fns, all in
+  tests_rest_unit_misc.rs; each needs its spec ID identified AND the
+  matching uts_coverage.txt mappings updated)
+- [ ] Matrix regen sweep (full serial run -> tools/uts_coverage_generate.py
+  -> review diff); do AFTER the renames

Subject: [PATCH 43/68] Teardown: replace the hand-rolled TLS DELETE with ureq
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

ureq is purely blocking (threads and sockets, no async runtime), so it is
safe inside the atexit handler — the constraint was never "no HTTP
library", only "no reqwest::blocking", which starts a tokio runtime and
aborts the process at exit. Drops 45 lines of bespoke HTTP parsing and the
direct native-tls dev-dependency. Verified live: DELETE 204 at exit.

-  HTTP/1.1 DELETE /apps/{appId} over std TcpStream + native-tls with basic
-  key auth. NO async runtime inside the handler — reqwest's blocking client

From b2981f23b86dc41af24ecfced65c31fe8090bc4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 44/68] TASK-10 (2/4): dedupe the per-file mock-client test
 helpers

The identical mock_client/get_mock/mock_client_json trio was pasted into
12 unit-test files (verified hash-identical); one definition now lives in
test_support.rs. Suite unchanged: 1246/0/26.

 // ========================================================================
 // Phase 9: Realtime Auth Tests

From 672c2ee107293c1702f47d27c4113a8c770c40a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Paddy Byers <paddy.byers@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH 45/68] TASK-10 (3/4): rename the 71 none_-prefixed tests to
 spec-pointed names

Each test's body was matched against features.md to identify the spec item
it actually asserts (TG3, TI1/2/3/5, TP2, TD1/2/5/7, RSC19f, HP4, RSA11/
RSA3b/RSA17c/d, RSC1a, RSN3a, RSL1b/1e/2a/4d1-3, RSP3a/4a, TM2/TM2d,
TO3d/n/k1, RSC16, RSC7d2). 65 got real IDs; the 6 that assert pure Rust
mechanics (ErrorCode enum conversions, Display/Debug/std::error impls)
are named plainly rather than given fake IDs. Bodies untouched; the names
were unreferenced by the curated matrix.

Subject: [PATCH 46/68] TASK-10 (4/4) DONE: matrix regen sweep; sync the
 generator's OVERRIDES
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The regen diff caught 6 regressions: tasks 2/3/5 converted matrix
exclusions without updating the generator's OVERRIDES dispositions (REC3/
REC3a/REC3b, TM2s1, TP5 reverted to stale exclusions), and the TASK-10
renames caused one auto-match drift (RSP4a/history-returns-paginated-1
re-pointed to a URL-only test; pinned back to the verified item-returning
test). OVERRIDES updated — the generator now reproduces the curated matrix
byte-identically from a fresh full serial run (1371/0/28; 1120 IDs, 0
unresolved). Task-10 complete.

Subject: [PATCH 47/68] TASK-7: record resolved decoder strategy (vcdiff-decode
 crate)

Decoder strategy is settled: own pure-Rust decoder at ably/vcdiff-rust,
publishing as vcdiff-decode (import path vcdiff). ably must depend on it
from crates.io (git deps forbidden in published crates), so the crate must
be cargo-published before ably ships delta support. Captured the API,
RTL18/19 discontinuity path, untrusted-input panic risk, and the
VCD_TARGET gap for the eventual implementation.

+## Decoder strategy — RESOLVED (2026-07-19)
+
+- Decision: implement, not bind C. A clean-room pure-Rust decoder lives at
+  https://github.com/ably/vcdiff-rust (reviewed in PR #1; merged). Zero
+  runtime deps. Passes all 85 shared vcdiff-tests conformance cases + fuzz.
+- Crate: publishes to crates.io as **`vcdiff-decode`** (the bare `vcdiff`
+  name is a dead 2016 open-vcdiff binding; `vcdiff-decoder` is a 2024
+  crate). Import path is `vcdiff` (explicit `[lib] name`): declare
+  `vcdiff-decode = "1"`, write `use vcdiff::...`. (PR #2, merged.)
+- CONSUMPTION: `ably` publishes to crates.io, which forbids git deps in
+  published crates, so `ably` must depend on `vcdiff-decode` FROM crates.io
+  — i.e. the crate must be `cargo publish`ed before `ably` ships delta
+  support. (Publish is a manual release step, pending.)
+- Still to decide when implementing: bundled optional dep (`ably` +
+  `vcdiff` feature) vs injectable plugin (app depends on vcdiff-decode and
+  passes a decoder in, like ably-js/@ably/vcdiff-decoder). Either way the
+  crate must be on crates.io.
+
+## API notes for the integration (from the PR #1 review)
+
+- `decode(source, delta) -> Result<Vec<u8>, VcdiffError>`; also
+  VcdiffDecoder (reusable), StreamingDecoder (append/finish), parse_delta.
+- RTL18/RTL19: a failed decode (VcdiffError, notably ChecksumMismatch)
+  must trigger the discontinuity path — request a fresh non-delta message,
+  not silently drop.
+- Untrusted input: the decoder can PANIC on malformed deltas (u32 overflow
+  arithmetic; wraps in release, panics in debug — same as the Go
+  reference). Server deltas are attacker-influenceable, so wrap decode in
+  catch_unwind at the SDK boundary (or push a hardening pass upstream)
+  before feeding it live data.
+- KNOWN GAP: VCD_TARGET (a window sourcing its segment from the decoded
+  target) is accepted-but-unimplemented in both our crate and the Go
+  reference, and untested by the shared suite. Multi-window VCD_SOURCE IS
+  supported/tested (19 fixtures). Confirm whether Ably's server-side delta
+  encoder ever emits VCD_TARGET windows before relying on this in prod
+  (capture real deltas and check the 0x02 win-indicator bit).

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+The `ably` crate on crates.io is owned by two INDIVIDUAL accounts, not an Ably org team: `lmars` (Lewis Marshall) and `Morganamilo` (Lulu). No team owner is set. First published 2022-02-11, currently v0.2.0 (the OLD pre-rewrite library). This is a release blocker for the clean-rewrite: publishing the rewritten SDK requires push access, and today that depends on one of two personal accounts still being reachable and willing. `vcdiff-decode` (published 2026-07-19) is in the same state — owned by whoever ran `cargo publish`, no org team. Add an Ably org team as owner of both so releases aren't hostage to personal accounts, and confirm at least one current owner can still publish.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [ ] #1 Confirm at least one existing `ably` owner can still authenticate and publish (else start a crates.io ownership-dispute/recovery request early — it is slow)
+- [ ] #2 A GitHub team under the ably org is added as an owner of the `ably` crate (`cargo owner --add github:ably:<team>`)
+- [ ] #3 The same org team is added as an owner of `vcdiff-decode`
+- [ ] #4 Decide whether to remove the personal-account owners once the team owns both, or keep them as named maintainers (record the decision here)
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Notes
+
+- Verify ownership at any time: `cargo owner --list ably` / `cargo owner --list vcdiff-decode`, or the crates.io API (`/api/v1/crates/<name>/owner_user` and `/owner_team`).
+- Adding a GitHub team owner requires the person running `cargo owner --add` to be an existing owner AND a member of that team (crates.io rule).
+- Related: the rewrite still needs a version bump before publish — published `ably` is 0.2.0 (2022) and clean-rewrite's Cargo.toml is also 0.2.0; the new API is a breaking change (likely 0.3.0, or 1.0.0 if declaring the surface stable). Tracked separately from ownership but blocks the same release.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Bundle the vcdiff-decode crate as a normal dependency (no user plugin).
An internal DeltaDecoder seam wraps vcdiff::decode in production and is
overridable in #[cfg(test)] so the RTL18/19/20/21 bookkeeping is tested
with an injected mock — pass-through, recording, and failing — exactly as
ably-js tests the same UTS IDs. No real deltas are embedded; real decoding
is covered by vcdiff-decode's own conformance suite.

  storage (wire form, before json/utf-8), RTL20 delta.from vs stored last
  id, PC3a string-base -> utf8, then the RSL6 chain for residual steps.
  Base/last-id cleared on any transition out of ATTACHED.
- handle_message_action: RTL21 in-array order; on decode failure or id
  mismatch, RTL18a log 40018 / RTL18b discard+stop / RTL18c re-attach from
  the previous message's channelSerial into ATTACHING (reason 40018).
  RTL18 single-recovery falls out of the RTL17 not-ATTACHED drop.
- ErrorCode::VcdiffDecodeFailure = 40018. Negotiation reuses channel-option
  params (delta=vcdiff), no new API.

12 new tests; 11 unit matrix IDs mapped; PC3/no-plugin (40019) dispositioned
N/A (decoder bundled, never absent); generator OVERRIDES updated so regen is
byte-identical. Suite: 1383/0/17 full serial (incl. live sandbox + proxy).

@@ -55,3 +55,32 @@ Channels negotiating delta=vcdiff receive binary diffs needing an RFC 3284 decod
   supported/tested (19 fixtures). Confirm whether Ably's server-side delta
   encoder ever emits VCD_TARGET windows before relying on this in prod
   (capture real deltas and check the 0x02 win-indicator bit).
+
+## Implementation (2026-07-19)
+
+Bundled `vcdiff-decode` as a normal dependency (no user-facing plugin, per
+decision). Internal decoder seam `connection::DeltaDecoder` (an
+`Arc<dyn Fn(delta, base) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>>`); production uses
+`default_delta_decoder()` = the real crate, tests inject a mock via a
+`#[cfg(test)]` ClientOptions field — mirroring how ably-js tests these IDs
+with a pass-through / recording / failing mock (no real fixtures needed;
+real decoding is covered by vcdiff-decode's own conformance suite).
+
+- `ChannelCtx::decode_message` (channel_arm.rs): RTL19a base64-first,
+  RTL19b/19c base-payload storage (wire form, before json/utf-8), RTL20
+  delta.from vs stored last-id check, PC3a string-base→utf8, then the
+  standard RSL6 chain for residual steps. Base + last-id cleared on any
+  transition out of ATTACHED (RTL19).
+- `handle_message_action` rewritten: RTL21 in-array order; on failure/
+  mismatch → RTL18a log 40018, RTL18b discard + stop, RTL18c re-attach from
+  the PREVIOUS message's channelSerial into ATTACHING with reason 40018.
+  RTL18 single-recovery falls out of the RTL17 not-ATTACHED drop.
+- ErrorCode::VcdiffDecodeFailure = 40018.
+- Negotiation needs no new API: `params: {delta: "vcdiff"}` via existing
+  channel-options params (attach_message already sends params).
+
+Tests: 12 new (11 UTS unit IDs + a fixture-free check that the production
+default is really wired to vcdiff-decode). PC3/no-plugin-fails (40019) is
+N/A — the decoder is bundled, never absent — dispositioned in the matrix.
+Integration IDs (delta_decoding_test.md) remain excluded (live sandbox).
+Suite: 1383/0/17 full serial (incl. live+proxy).

Subject: [PATCH 51/68] TASK-7: add the live delta integration tests (were
 wrongly excluded)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The earlier "live sandbox -> exclude" was unjustified: the suite runs live
tests routinely and the decoder seam makes counting/failing injection easy.
These are the highest-value delta tests — real server, real decoder, real
negotiation and recovery — and the end-to-end one empirically confirms the
sandbox emits deltas our crate decodes (also answering the VCD_TARGET
concern for real payloads).

Implemented against the live sandbox: pc3_delta_decode_end_to_end (real
deltas + the real bundled decoder, decode_count == n-1),
pc3_no_deltas_without_param, rtl18_recovery_after_decode_failure (full
recovery loop), rtl19b_dissimilar_payloads. Excluded with specific reasons
(not blanket): the RTL18 live id-mismatch (covered by the RTL20 unit test;
a live mismatch needs an internal test hook) and PC3 no-plugin 40019 (N/A,
bundled). Generator OVERRIDES updated; regen byte-identical.

Suite: 1387/0/17 full serial (unit 1258/15, live integration + proxy 129/2).

Subject: [PATCH 52/68] Docs cleanup: delete PROGRESS.md and REVIEW, refresh
 README + DESIGN
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Delete top-level PROGRESS.md: its task-era half duplicated the backlog
  task files (the source of truth) and its phase-era half is covered by the
  detailed commit history — a purely-historical top-level artifact has no
  place in a library advertised as current.
- Delete REVIEW-2026-06-10.md: a point-in-time audit whose findings are all
  resolved (they became the R-phases and the binding engineering policies);
  git history preserves it.
- README.md: rewritten — it claimed "REST only, no realtime features" and
  used the pre-rewrite API. Now covers REST + realtime (connect, subscribe,
  publish, presence, delta) against the current API.
- DESIGN.md: module layout now includes the connection/ event-loop
  submodules; new §9a documents the bundled vcdiff delta decoder and RTL18
  recovery; the per-stage conformance rule points at commits/backlog notes
  instead of PROGRESS.md.
- CLAUDE.md: drop the dead .claude/plans reference and the PROGRESS.md
  pointers.
- Repoint the two remaining PROGRESS.md references (task-9 text, a presence
  test comment) to the backlog / spec PR.

+## 9a. Delta decoding (RTL18–RTL21, PC3)
+
+Delta/vcdiff decoding is bundled, not a user-supplied plugin: the crate
+depends on `vcdiff-decode` (published from `ably/vcdiff-rust`) and calls it
+directly. An internal seam `connection::DeltaDecoder` (an `Arc<dyn Fn(delta,
+base) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>>`) wraps `vcdiff::decode` in production and is
+overridable behind `#[cfg(test)]` (a `ClientOptions` field) so the RTL18/19/20
+bookkeeping can be unit-tested with an injected mock — the real decoding is
+covered by `vcdiff-decode`'s own conformance suite.
+
+`ChannelCtx` stores the RTL19 base payload (wire form, `String` or `Binary`,
+after base64 but before json/utf-8) and the RTL20 last-message id; both are
+cleared on any transition out of ATTACHED. `ChannelCtx::decode_message`
+(channel arm) does RTL19a (base64 first), the RTL20 `extras.delta.from` vs
+stored-id check, PC3a (string base → utf-8 bytes), the `vcdiff::decode` call,
+RTL19c (the direct result becomes the new base), then the standard RSL6 chain
+for residual steps. On a decode failure or id mismatch it returns a 40018
+error; `handle_message_action` then runs RTL18 recovery: log (RTL18a), discard
++ stop (RTL18b), and re-attach from the *previous* message's channelSerial into
+ATTACHING with reason 40018 (RTL18c). A second delta arriving mid-recovery is
+dropped by the RTL17 not-ATTACHED guard, so only one recovery runs at a time.
+No new locks; the decoder handle is cloned out of the loop before the channel
+borrow. Delta mode is requested via the existing channel-option params
+(`delta = vcdiff`); the SDK never generates deltas (receive-only).

-# Rewrite Progress
-
-## Phase 1: API Design — DONE
-- `DESIGN.md` written and reviewed
-- Key decisions: single `ErrorInfo` type (TI1 spec, no separate `Error` wrapper),
-  no reqwest in public API, `Transport` trait, clean `HttpClient` trait,
-  builder publish for REST and Realtime
-- Fields added from spec review: `request_id` (RSC7c), `detail` (TI6), `cause` (TI1)
-
-## Phase 2: Branch Setup + Stubs + Test Port — DONE
-
-### 2.1 Branch + Module Skeleton — DONE
-- Created `clean-rewrite` branch from `main`
-- Files written fresh:
-  - `error.rs` — unified `ErrorInfo` with TI1 fields, `ErrorCode` enum, `Result<T>` alias
-  - `transport.rs` — `Transport` + `TransportConnection` traits (pub(crate))
-  - `http_client.rs` — `HttpClient` trait (pub(crate)), no as_any
-  - `protocol.rs` — pub state enums, pub(crate) wire types
-  - `realtime.rs` — `Realtime`, `Connection`, `RealtimeAuth` stubs
-  - `channel.rs` — `Channels`, `RealtimeChannel`, `RealtimePresence` stubs
-  - `mock_http.rs` — `MockHttpClient` implementing `HttpClient` trait
-  - `mock_ws.rs` — `MockWebSocket` stubs
-- Files adapted from main:
-  - `crypto.rs` — updated Error→ErrorInfo references, removed tests (to be ported)
-  - `stats.rs` — copied verbatim
-  - `json.rs` — copied verbatim
-  - `options.rs` — rewritten: no reqwest refs, all fields pub(crate), builder pattern
-  - `auth.rs` — rewritten: `AuthToken` enum, `Credential` pub(crate), no reqwest types
-  - `rest.rs` — rewritten: unified `Message`/`Data`/`PresenceMessage`, all stubs
-  - `http.rs` — rewritten: no reqwest re-exports, `u16` status, `Option<String>` content_type
-- Removed `examples/` directory (old API references)
-- `Cargo.toml` updated with async-trait, tokio, tokio-tungstenite dependencies
-- `cargo check` passes, `cargo test --lib --no-run` passes (0 tests)
-
-### 2.2 Test Port — DONE
-- **Source:** `lib.rs.bak` (backup of original monolithic test module, 1,157 test attributes)
-- Extracted all tests using Python script (`/tmp/split_tests3.py`)
-- Split into 12 thematic test files by spec prefix:
-  - `tests_annotations.rs` (20 tests) — RTAN specs
-  - `tests_auth.rs` (123 tests) — RSA specs
-  - `tests_channel.rs` (196 tests) — RTL, RTS, PC specs
-  - `tests_connection.rs` (127 tests) — RTN, RTB specs
-  - `tests_misc.rs` (83 tests) — shared/general tests
-  - `tests_presence_rt.rs` (119 tests) — RTP specs
-  - `tests_push.rs` (44 tests) — RSH specs
-  - `tests_realtime_misc.rs` (48 tests) — RTC specs
-  - `tests_rest_channels.rs` (101 tests) — RSL, RSN specs
-  - `tests_rest_core.rs` (161 tests) — RSC, HP, BAR, etc.
-  - `tests_rest_presence.rs` (37 tests) — RSP specs
-  - `tests_types.rs` (98 tests) — TM, TP, TE, TK, etc.
-- Fixed 1,410 compilation errors across all files using 6 parallel agents
-- Each file has shared helper functions (mock_client, get_mock, phase8d_setup, setup_attached_channel)
-- 12 test functions have `todo!()` bodies (need APIs like `set_state` that will exist post-implementation)
-- `cargo check --tests` passes with 0 errors, 47 warnings
-- `cargo test --no-run` passes
-
-### 2.3 Verify Completeness — DONE
-- Original backup: 1,157 test attributes → split files: 1,157 test attributes (lossless)
-- `cargo test -- --list`: 1,157 tests, 0 benchmarks
-- 12 tests have `todo!()` bodies pending real implementation (rtl10a/b, rtp8g, rtp11b/d, rtp14a, rtp16c)
-- All tests will panic at runtime (stubs return `todo!()`) — by design for Phase 2
-
-## Phase 3: REST Implementation — DONE
-
-### 3.0 REST State Design — DONE
-- Written in DESIGN.md: RestInner with 2 independent Mutex (auth_state, fallback_state)
-- Token resolution, request pipeline, fallback host caching (RSC15f) all documented
-
-### 3.1–3.3 REST Core + Auth + Channels + Presence + Push — DONE

-- Implemented Push: admin publish, device registrations CRUD, channel subscriptions CRUD
-- Implemented pagination: PaginatedResult with Link header parsing, next/first navigation
-- Implemented RequestBuilder, Response with JSON/msgpack deserialization
-- HttpClient trait with as_any() for test mock downcasting (pub(crate) only)
-- MockHttpClient: captured_requests now returns cloned data

-- `rest::Format` → `rest::Format` (same but pub(crate))
-- `http::Method::GET` etc → `"GET"` string
-- `http::HeaderMap` → `Vec<(String, String)>` or `&[(&str, &str)]`
-- `auth::RequestOrDetails` → `auth::AuthToken`
-- `auth::Credential` stays but is `pub(crate)`
-- `channel::Message` → `rest::Message` (unified)
-- `ErrorInfo` (old, limited) → `ErrorInfo` (new, full TI1 spec with cause/detail/request_id)

-- TM5: MessageAction wire values fixed to spec (CREATE=0, UPDATE=1, DELETE=2, META=3,
-  SUMMARY=4, APPEND=5). Previously update_message sent DELETE on the wire.
-- RSL15: update/delete/append_message rewritten — op is Option<&MessageOperation>,
-  serial-missing errors with 40003, body carries full message fields encoded per RSL4,
-  version only when op provided, UpdateDeleteResult fields now Option<String> (UDR2a
-  null preserved). New shared send_message_patch.
-- RSL4c: new Message::encode_for_wire(format) — JSON data stringified + "json" encoding;
-  binary base64 under JSON, native bin under MessagePack. Used by PublishBuilder,
-  message PATCH, and batch publish.
-- RSC24: batch_presence sends comma-joined channels param; returns BatchPresenceResponse
-  envelope (success_count/failure_count/results) with Success/Failure variants.
-- Batch result parsing: BatchPublishResult/BatchPresenceResult deserialization
-  discriminates on presence of "error" key (fixes untagged-serde bug; bpr1b/c un-ignored).
-- RSC22: batch_publish rejects empty specs/channels/messages with 40003 client-side;
-  accepts object-or-array responses.
-- RSA17: revoke_tokens parses BatchResult envelope (v3+), legacy array fallback.
-- AuthOptions::default() method now Some("GET") (AO2d).
-- Stale tests fixed: rsa17d (40162), rsh1b3 (path with deviceId), tm3 (action=1 is UPDATE).

-
-### R2 Auth Layer Rewrite — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- AuthOptions now full AO2 shape (key, token, tokenDetails, authCallback, authUrl,
-  authMethod, authHeaders, authParams, queryTime); default authMethod GET.
-  API signatures: create_token_request/request_token/authorize take
-  (Option<&TokenParams>, Option<&AuthOptions>); create_token_request is async (queryTime).
-- New AuthConfig resolution: client credential overlaid with authorize()-saved options
-  (RSA10h replace-with-source semantics, RSA10i key preserved) and per-call options.
-- authUrl (RSA8c) implemented: GET/POST, authHeaders/authParams, TokenParams merge
-  (RSA8c1a/b), JSON TokenDetails/TokenRequest (exchanged) or plain-text JWT responses,
-  via raw http_client (no Ably pipeline). Credential::TokenRequest exchangeable.
-- AuthToken::Token variant for JWT-string callbacks (RSA8d).
-- Auth-mode selection (RSA4): basic only for key-only clients; clientId is NOT a
-  token-auth trigger; key+clientId uses basic + X-Ably-ClientId (RSA7e2, header now
-  basic-only); authorize() forces token auth thereafter (RSA10a).
-- Token acquisition: effective params merge defaultTokenParams + options.clientId
-  (RSA5c/6c, RSA7d, RSA12a); ttl/capability omitted + signed as empty when unspecified
-  (RSA5/RSA6 — restricted keys now work); pre-emptive expiry renewal (RSA4b1);
-  40171 client-side when unrenewable (RSA4a2); RSA15 clientId compatibility at
-  construction and on every obtained token (40102).
-- authorize(): params/options replace stored (timestamp never stored, RSA10g);
-  updates tokenDetails (RSA10g); request_token no longer mutates library state (RSA8f).
-- queryTime (RSA9d/RSA10k): /time queried with offset cached; time() is now
-  UNAUTHENTICATED per RSC16 (UTS: must not send Authorization).
-- RSA17d_2: key+useTokenAuth revoke rejected 40162. Key Debug/Display redact secret.
-- Tests: vacuous auth tests replaced with 18 UTS-derived tests (authUrl x7, RSA15 x3,
-  RSA4a2, RSA4b1, RSA12a/b, RSA7d, RSA1, RSA8d, RSA17d_2), all passing first run;
-  rsa9h/rsa9-depth tests fixed to RSA5/RSA6 null semantics; ~20 tests switched from
-  time() to authenticated requests; rsa16 tests fixed per RSA8f.
-- Test status: unit 731 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 92 ignored;
-  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
-- Files: auth.rs (rewritten), rest.rs (auth machinery), options.rs, http.rs,
-  tests_rest_unit_{auth,client,misc,types}.rs, tests_rest_integration.rs
-- Next: R3 publish features (idempotency, encryption, RSL1n serials).
-
-### R3 Publish Features — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- RSL1k idempotent publishing: default true (TO3n); library ids base64url(9 random
-  bytes):index, one base per publish, client ids preserved, mixed batches per UTS;
-  RSC22d applied per BatchPublishSpec.
-- RSL5/RSL6 encryption: shared encode_data_for_wire/decode_data codec; cipher threaded
-  through PublishBuilder (builder override or channel cipher), history, get_message,
-  message_versions, presence get/history, PaginatedResult pages. PublishBuilder::cipher
-  no longer a no-op. Message/PresenceMessage decode unified (duplication removed).
-- RSL6b: decode failure/unknown step leaves the UNPROCESSED chain prefix (applied
-  right-hand steps are not restored).
-- RSL1c/RSL1n: PublishBuilder::messages() for multi-message publish (single message →
-  object body, multiple → array); send() returns PublishResult {serials, message_id}
-  with null-serial (conflation) preservation (PBR2a).
-- RSL1i: size check now per TM6 (name + clientId + extras + data), pre-encoding.
-- RSL4a: top-level JSON scalars (number/bool) rejected with 40013.
-- Tests: conditional-assert idempotency tests rewritten strict (id format, serial
-  increments, unique bases, mixed batch); RSL1n result tests (single/batch/null);
-  RSL5 encrypt round-trip x2; RSL6 history decrypt; RSL6b residual; RSP5g presence
-  decrypt; canonical ably-common crypto fixtures (128+256, all items, both files) —
-  NOTE: the UTS RSP5g fixture string is corrupt (truncation of the ably-common one);
-  flag upstream.
-- Test status: unit 742 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored;
-  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
-- DESIGN.md not yet updated for API changes (PublishResult, messages(), auth
-  signatures) — do at end of Phase R.
-- Next: R4 endpoint spec + request pipeline.
-
-### R4 Endpoint Spec + Request Pipeline — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- REC1/REC2: new `endpoint` option (hostname | routing policy | "nonprod:[id]");
-  primary domain resolution at build time with REC1b1 mutual-exclusion checks;
-  defaults now main.realtime.ably.net + main.[a-e].fallback.ably-realtime.com;
-  environment() maps to [env].realtime.ably.net (REC1c2); rest_host/realtime_host
-  deprecated hostname overrides (REC1d, no fallbacks per REC2c6); explicit
-  fallbackHosts always win (REC2a2). ClientOptions host fields are now Options
-  with resolve_hosts() populating primary_host/resolved_fallback_hosts.
-- RSC7c: one request_id per logical request, stable across fallback retries,
-  attached to ErrorInfo.request_id on failure.
-- TO3l6: httpMaxRetryDuration enforced as an elapsed-time budget on retries;
-  RSC15l3: retriable statuses bounded to 500-504; primary host success is no
-  longer cached as a "fallback"; http_open_timeout wired to reqwest connect_timeout.
-- HP1-HP8/RSC19: Rest::request() now returns HttpPaginatedResponse — items
-  normalised (object→1, array→n), statusCode/success/errorCode/errorMessage from
-  X-Ably-Errorcode/-Errormessage headers, headers(), Link-header pagination
-  (next/first); HTTP error statuses are inspectable responses, not Errs;
-  version() per-request X-Ably-Version override (RSC19f1); token renewal on 401
-  token errors preserved in raw mode.
-- RSC2/TO3b/TO3c: logging implemented — LogLevel ordering, log_handler invoked
-  with (level, message); request logs carry method/host/path; errors at Error
-  level; None suppresses all. (Structured context objects deferred.)
-- Tests: legacy-domain expectations migrated to REC domains; falsely-IDed
-  REC/HP tests rewritten to real behaviors (rec1b1/b2/b3/b4, rec1d1/d2, rsc7c x2,
-  to3l6, hp2/hp3 request, rsc19f1 override, rsc19e per HP4/5); logging tests are
-  real; renewal tests moved to typed requests with exact request-count asserts.
-- Test status: unit 751 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 91 ignored;
-  integration 47/47 vs sandbox.
-- Next: R5 remaining unit-test repair, then R6 integration hardening.
-
-### R5 Unit-Test Suite Repair — DONE (2026-06-10)
-(Bulk of R5 was done incrementally inside R1-R4: vacuous auth tests replaced with
-18 UTS tests, inverted RSC22 fixed, falsely-IDed REC/HP/logging tests rewritten,
-batch duplicates removed, idempotency conditional-asserts made strict.)
-This pass added:
-- RSL8/RSL8a/CHD2/CHS2/CHO2/CHM2: Channel::status() implemented + ChannelDetails
-  type tree; 5 UTS tests (endpoint, encoding, details, all-metrics, zero/missing).
-- RSL7: Channel::set_options() applies cipher to subsequent operations (tested).
-- RSAN1c4: annotation publish generates idempotent ids (was hidden by a
-  conditional assert; now implemented + strict test).
-- Realtime-dependent tests moved out of REST files (rsa4c2/c3, rsa4d x2 →
-  tests_realtime_unit_client; tm2* x8 → tests_realtime_unit_channel). Every
-  tests_rest_* test now passes.
-- Vacuous tests fixed/deleted: rsa5c/rsa6c (now assert TokenRequest flow),
-  rsa5d/rsa6d (real override tests), rsa10a tautology deleted, rsa5b/rsa6b depth
-  tautologies deleted, rsc15j + rsc7c-unique + rsc22c-empty conditionals strict.
-- Duplicates removed: rec1b2==rec1b1 (kept as rsc15l_fallback_on_network_failure),
-  rsc15m triplicate → 1, rsa9c==rsa5b, version-header triplicate → 2.
-- DESIGN.md updated with all Phase R API amendments + the RSN ephemeral-channel
-  decision. CLAUDE.md baseline updated (746/439/91; REST fully green).
-- Deferred (recorded): shared test_support module to dedup mock helpers;
-  none_/hp naming sweep; remaining near-duplicate pairs in auth (rsa10/rsa16
-  batches); RSC19d residual items; RSP1b/TM2s1.
-- Test status: unit 746 pass / 439 fail (all realtime stubs) / 91 ignored.
-
-### R6 Integration-Test Hardening — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- Sandbox infra moved to the UTS-mandated endpoint: provisioning and clients use
-  endpoint("nonprod:sandbox") → sandbox.realtime.ably-nonprod.net (verified live).
-- Protocol coverage: sandbox_client now uses the SDK-default MessagePack — the
-  binary protocol is exercised across the whole integration suite for the first
-  time (all tests pass). sandbox_client_json + two explicit protocol-variant
-  round-trip tests (string/json/binary over JSON; native binary over msgpack).
-- Payload assertions added: rsl2a (typed data round-trip for all 3 messages),
-  rsp3a2 (unencoded presence data stays a raw string), rsl1k5 (first-write-wins
-  data + stable two-read poll to close the dedup race).
-- Five ignored stubs implemented and passing live: rsa8_auth_callback_with_token_request
-  (callback TokenRequest exchange), rsl2b3_history_time_range, rsa8_capability_restriction
-  (native-token variant; 40160 on out-of-capability publish), rsl1n_publish_returns_serials
-  (single + batch), rsl5_encrypted_publish_history_roundtrip (live encrypt/decrypt).
-- Test status: unit 753 pass / 439 fail (realtime stubs) / 86 ignored;
-  integration 54 pass / 31 ignored (was 47/36).
-- Remaining ignored stubs are all legitimately blocked: 4 JWT (needs a JWT dev
-  dependency), ~10 on stale ably-common fixtures (keys[4] revocableTokens +
-  mutable namespace — submodule update needed), the rest need a live realtime
-  client (Phase 5). App teardown + JWT dev-dep deferred to follow-up.
-- UPSTREAM FLAGS for the spec repo: (1) the RSP5g cipher fixture string in
-  uts/rest/unit/presence/rest_presence.md is a corrupt truncation of the
-  ably-common crypto fixture; (2) uts/rest/unit/auth/revoke_tokens.md unit mocks
-  use the legacy array response while the integration doc mandates the
-  BatchResult envelope; (3) UTS request.md (HP, no error on HTTP status) vs
-  token_renewal.md ("FAILS WITH error" via request()) are inconsistent.
-
-## Phase P: Proxy Infrastructure + Remaining REST Integration — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- All 8 UTS proxy tests implemented in new src/tests_proxy.rs against the
-  auto-downloaded uts-proxy (src/proxy.rs harness worked as-is on darwin_arm64):
-  timeout fallback (RSC15l2), CloudFront 403 fallback (RSC15l4), connection drop,
-  unreachable endpoint error, 5xx parsed/synthesized, 4xx-not-retried, and
-  RSL1k4 idempotent retry dedup (proves the LIVE server dedupes our generated ids).
-  8/8 passing. Old proxy stubs removed from tests_rest_integration.rs.
-- SDK fix: fallback retry list no longer filters fallback hosts equal to the
-  primary (only a failed cached-fallback is excluded) — required for proxy
-  configs where primary and fallback are both localhost.
-- ably-common submodule updated to origin/main: keys[4] revocableTokens + the
-  mutable namespace. Unblocked and implemented 8 more integration tests, all
-  passing live: rsl11 getMessage, rsl15 update/delete/append, rsl14 versions,
-  rsan1/2 annotation lifecycle, rsan3 paginated annotations, rsa17e
-  issuedBefore/allowReauthMargin (live proof of the BatchResult envelope fix).
-- LIVE-CAUGHT BUG: Annotation serial field is `messageSerial` (TAN2j), not
-  `msgSerial` — unit mocks had agreed with the wrong implementation. Fixed
-  (field renamed message_serial, RSAN1c2 now sets it on publish/delete bodies).
-- Remaining ignored (15): 3 JWT (needs jsonwebtoken dev-dep), 10 need a live
-  realtime client (presence events/members, revoke-disconnect observation),
-  2 LocalDevice. All reasons name their concrete blocker.
-- Test status: unit 768 pass / 440 fail (all realtime stubs) / 70 ignored;
-  integration 62 pass / 15 ignored; proxy 8/8. All serial runs fully green.
-- Next: Phase 4 — realtime state design (DESIGN.md section, HUMAN REVIEW GATE).
-
-## Phase 5: Realtime Implementation
-
-### 5.1 Connection Foundation — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- src/connection.rs: the single-writer connection loop per DESIGN.md — LoopInput/
-  Command enums, ConnectionCtx (plain owned state, no locks), generation-guarded
-  spawned connect/reader/writer tasks, watch-before-broadcast emission, exhaustive
-  per-state command handling. RTN2 URL building (v=6, format, key/accessToken via
-  the shared REST auth layer, off-loop).
-- src/realtime.rs: thin handles — Realtime (new/with_mock/connect/close, embedded
-  Rest), Connection (snapshot reads, on_state_change, when_state w/ RTN26a/b
-  semantics, subscribe-before-snapshot-read race guard), RealtimeAuth delegating
-  to REST auth. ClientOptions::realtime() now works; clone_for_realtime added.
-- src/ws_transport.rs: production tokio-tungstenite transport (JSON text /
-  msgpack binary frames; unparseable frames skipped per RTN19 tolerance).
-- src/mock_ws.rs: full UTS mock_websocket.md implementation (handler + await
-  patterns, PendingConnection respond_with_success/refused/error, MockConnection
-  send_to_client(_and_close)/simulate_disconnect, client_messages,
-  await_message_from_client, await_client_close). Test-only locks.
-- Implemented behaviors: RTN3 (autoConnect), RTN4 ordered lifecycle events,
-  RTN4h additional-CONNECTED → Update, RTN8/RTN9 id/key incl. RTN8c/9c clearing,
-  RTN11 (re)connect semantics, RTN12a/d/f close paths (CLOSE on wire, await
-  CLOSED), RTN25 errorReason on fatal ERROR, RTN26 whenState. Failed connect
-  attempts rest at DISCONNECTED (retry timers are 5.2).
-- Tests (DESIGN §12, option 2): 20 UTS-derived tests in
-  tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs — ALL derived from uts/realtime/unit
-  pseudo-code (auto_connect/connection_id_key/when_state/error_reason files) +
-  features-spec lifecycle sequences; all passed first run. PLUS one live
-  integration test: real WsTransport against the nonprod sandbox — CONNECTED
-  with server-assigned id/key, clean close (passes, 2.5s).
-- Ported-test cross-check for this stage's ranges: 17 superseded ported tests
-  deleted (RTN3 x3, RTN8/9 x7, RTN26 x5, 2 vacuous depth duplicates); the
-  remaining ported connection tests stay pending their stages (~60 of them now
-  pass against the new loop, a free cross-check). rtn8c_id_key_null_in_suspended
-  retained for 5.2 (needs SUSPENDED).
-- §14.3 conformance line: lock inventory UNCHANGED (conformance tests green;
-  connection.rs and ws_transport.rs added to the ratchet scan at zero allowance).
-- Test status: 851 pass / 363 fail (remaining realtime stubs) / 70 ignored;
-  REST + proxy + integration unaffected.
-- Next: 5.2 connection failures, retries/backoff, resume, ping, heartbeat.
-
-### 5.2 Connection Failures, Retries, Resume, Ping, Heartbeat — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- Timers per DESIGN §5: all deadlines in ConnectionCtx, one sleep_until in the
-  loop select. Implemented: connect-attempt timeout (RTN14c), close-handshake
-  timeout (RTN12b), disconnected retry with RTB1 backoff
-  (min((n+2)/3,2) × jitter[0.8,1.0]) (RTN14d), connectionStateTtl → SUSPENDED
-  (RTN14e, server details override; new connection_state_ttl option), suspended
-  indefinite retries (RTN14f), idle/activity timeout maxIdleInterval +
-  realtimeRequestTimeout with reset on any traffic (RTN23a; heartbeats=true and
-  echo=false (RTN2b) URL params), ping deadlines (RTN13c).
-- RTN15: immediate resume reconnect on unexpected transport loss (RTN15a),
-  resume=key param (RTN15b1), resumed vs failed-resume by connection id
-  (RTN15c6/c7 with surfaced error), key refresh (RTN15e), resume state discarded
-  after TTL (RTN15g). RTN15h DISCONNECTED handling: token error → renew once and
-  reconnect (RTN15h2, renewal forced in the spawned connect task — loop never
-  touches the auth lock) or FAILED if unrenewable (RTN15h1); non-token → resume
-  (RTN15h3). RTN14b ERROR-during-connect token renewal; RSA4a unrenewable →
-  FAILED. Connection::ping() (RTN13a/b/c/e: random ids, id-matched responses,
-  concurrent pings, timeout, state errors).
-- Tests (DESIGN §12): 24 more UTS-derived tests (45 total in
-  tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs incl. RTB1a/b formula tests), all green;
-  paused-clock (tokio test-util) drives every timer test. Live test extended
-  with a real ping. 11 more ported tests superseded and deleted (instant-close
-  pinning, transient-state races vs the coalescing watch — my tests assert
-  event sequences instead). rtn17*/rtn19*/rtn22* ported tests remain for 5.3/5.5.
-- §14.3 conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (ratchet green).
-- Test status: 891 pass / 336 fail (remaining stubs) / 70 ignored.
-- Next: 5.3 fallback hosts (RTN17) + realtime auth (RTN22/RTC8).
-
-### 5.3 Realtime Fallback Hosts + Auth — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- RTN17: host cycling is loop-driven state (connect_hosts/current_host in
-  ConnectionCtx) — each cycle tries the primary first (RTN17i), then the REC2
-  fallback domains in random order (RTN17h/j); qualifying failures (refused/
-  timeout/transport loss while connecting, 5xx DISCONNECTED per RTN17f/f1)
-  advance to the next host within the same CONNECTING phase; an exhausted or
-  empty set falls into the RTN14 retry cycle (RTN17g). Connection::host()
-  reports the connected host via the snapshot. RTN17e: a successful fallback
-  host is written into the embedded Rest's cached-fallback state so HTTP
-  requests prefer it (brief REST-lock write in the loop; never across await —
-  same class as the sanctioned REST locks).
-- DEFERRED (recorded): the RTN17j connectivity check (GET connectivityCheckUrl
-  before fallback) needs dual mock injection (WS + HTTP) in realtime unit
-  tests; planned alongside 5.6. Without it, fallback proceeds optimistically.
-- RTN22: server AUTH → off-loop token renewal task → TokenReady → client sends
-  AUTH with accessToken; connection stays CONNECTED; server's CONNECTED reply
-  surfaces as an UPDATE (RTN4h machinery). RTC8: RealtimeAuth::authorize()
-  obtains via REST then applies in place via Command::Reauth.
-- RTN14 isolation fix: the RTN14 retry tests now pin retry behavior with an
-  empty fallback set, since default options carry the 5 REC2 fallback domains.
-- Tests: 3 new UTS-derived (48 total in tests_realtime_uts_connection.rs, all
-  green; RTN22 full scenario incl. captured AUTH + token-2 + update-only
-  events). Ported cross-check: all 7 rtn17 tests ADOPTED (they pass verbatim
-  after the REC domain migration of realtime test files); 2 ported rtn22a
-  tests superseded (transient-state races; covered by rtn15h2); rtn22 x2
-  ported pass as adopted.
-- §14.3 conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (ratchet green; live test green).
-- Test status: 901 pass / 327 fail (remaining stubs: channels/messages/
-  presence/annotations + misc) / 70 ignored.
-- Next: 5.4 channel lifecycle (RTS, RTL2-5, RTL16) — ChannelCtx, EnsureChannel,
-  per-channel snapshots, attach/detach.
-
-### 5.4 Channel Lifecycle — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- ChannelCtx joins the loop-owned state: per-channel state machine, serials,
-  modes, op deadlines, pending attach/detach repliers — all plain owned data,
-  zero locks. Per-channel watch snapshot (state/errorReason/serials/modes) +
-  broadcast event stream, published snapshot-before-event per the §4 contract.
-- Channels handle registry: the design's ONE sanctioned realtime lock (a
-  Mutex<HashMap<name, Arc<RealtimeChannel>>> of handles only). get/
-  get_with_options sends Command::EnsureChannel (RTS3a identity, RTS3b options
-  on create); release sends Command::ReleaseChannel (detach-then-remove,
-  RTS4a). RealtimeChannel handle: snapshot reads, attach/detach oneshot
-  round-trips, on_state_change/when_state (RTL25, one-shot semantics).
-- Attach (RTL4): a no-op when attached; shares the in-flight op (RTL4h, incl.
-  attach-while-detaching continuation); errors on Closed/Closing/Failed/
-  Suspended connections (RTL4b); queues while CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED with
-  immediate ATTACHING (RTL4i); ATTACH carries channelSerial on reattach
-  (RTL4c1), params (RTL4k), mode flags (RTL4l), ATTACH_RESUME (RTL4j); timeout
-  → SUSPENDED (RTL4f); granted modes from ATTACHED flags (RTL4m); attach from
-  FAILED clears errorReason (RTL4g/RTL4c).
-- Detach (RTL5): no-op from Initialized/Detached (RTL5a); error from Failed
-  (RTL5b); Suspended → immediate Detached (RTL5j); queued behind in-flight
-  attach/detach (RTL5i); RTL5l immediate local detach when the connection
-  isn't CONNECTED — including abandoning a QUEUED (RTL4i) attach, a real gap
-  the ported cross-check caught (the queued detach would have waited forever);
-  detach timeout reverts to the prior state (RTL5f); ATTACHED while detaching
-  → fresh DETACH (RTL5k).
-- Connection effects (RTL3): Failed/Closed/Suspended fail/detach/suspend
-  attached AND attaching channels (in-flight attach repliers resolved with the
-  error); Disconnected is a channel no-op (RTL3e); on CONNECTED, attached/
-  attaching/suspended channels reattach with serial + ATTACH_RESUME (RTL3d).
-- Events: state-snapshot-then-event ordering; no duplicate state events
-  (RTL2g); additional ATTACHED → UPDATE with resumed=false, SUPPRESSED when
-  the RESUMED flag is set (RTL12 — fixed during UTS test derivation);
-  resumed/hasBacklog propagated from flags (RTL2d/RTL2i/TH6). RTL15b1:
-  channelSerial cleared on Detached/Suspended/Failed transitions.
-- Tests: 37 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_channels.rs (RTS, RTL2, RTL3,
-  RTL4, RTL5, RTL15b1, RTL23, RTL25 — all green), incl. a live sandbox
-  attach/detach proof. Ported cross-check (tests_realtime_unit_channel.rs):
-  68 5.4-scope tests ADOPTED (13 needed only the mechanical #[test] →
-  #[tokio::test] conversion since client construction now spawns the loop);
-  12 SUPERSEDED and deleted (transient-state races vs the coalescing watch,
-  mock-shape close timeouts, a self-contradictory rtl25a, a hang-prone
-  release test, and 2 rts3c1 tests whose error assertions had been stripped
-  in porting — RTS3c/RTS3c1/RTL16 are regenerated from UTS in 5.6). Remaining
-  ported failures are honest stubs for 5.5+ (publish/subscribe/rtl32/options/
-  derived channels). The full suite has NO hanging tests (23s wall).
-- §14.3 conformance: channel.rs registry Mutex occupies the 1 occurrence the
-  allowance budgeted (fully-qualified decl, Default::default() init); the 2
-  temporary presence-stub mutexes remain (allowance stays 3 until 5.7).
-  Ratchet green; no-pub-fields green (ChannelCtx loop-private).
-- Test status: 1029 pass / 224 fail (remaining stubs: messages/presence/
-  annotations/options/derived) / 70 ignored.
-- Next: 5.5 channel messages — publish/subscribe, ACK/NACK, msgSerial,
-  queueing (RTL6/7/8, RTN7, RTN19 resend), RTL15b serial updates from MESSAGE.
-
-### UTS Coverage Audit + Backfill — DONE (2026-06-10)
-- New enforcement (DESIGN.md §14.5): uts_coverage.txt traceability matrix —
-  all 963 UTS Test IDs (487 rest + 476 realtime) mapped to passing Rust tests
-  (686) or excluded with a stage/deferral reason (277). tests_uts_coverage.rs
-  fails the build on unaccounted IDs, dangling test references, or reasonless
-  exclusions. Bootstrap generator in tools/uts_coverage_generate.py.
-- REAL BUGS the audit caught:
-  - RTN13d: ping while CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED must be DEFERRED until the
-    connection resolves — the implementation errored immediately and a
-    wrongly-derived test pinned that behavior. Now: deferred_pings in the
-    loop, executed on CONNECTED (timeout runs from the send, RTN13c), failed
-    on terminal states (RTN13b). 5 new UTS tests.
-  - RTC8: authorize() was fire-and-forget. Now full semantics: resolves only
-    on the server's CONNECTED/ERROR (RTC8a3); halts and restarts an in-flight
-    attempt with the new token (RTC8b, generation-orphaned); initiates a
-    connection from INITIALIZED/DISCONNECTED/SUSPENDED/FAILED/CLOSED (RTC8c);
-    fails when the connection lands terminal (RTC8b1). 10 new UTS tests; the
-    pending_authorize replies live in the loop, resolved in transition().
-  - RSA4c3: a failed RTN22 token renewal while CONNECTED must be silently
-    swallowed (no event, no errorReason) — we set errorReason and emitted an
-    update.
-  - RTC1a/RTC1f1: echo param now explicit (echo=true default); transportParams
-    now OVERRIDE library URL defaults (were appended as duplicates).
-  - RSA4f: oversized (>128KiB) callback tokens now rejected with 80019/401.
-  - RSA4a1: literal-token clients with no renewal means log a 40171 warning.
-  - RSL4a (REST): bare-scalar JSON payloads (number/bool) now rejected with
-    40013 at publish time.
-- REST backfill: 18 new tests (RSL4a x2, TG navigation x4, batch results
-  BPR/BPF/RSC22c x3, RSC22 request-id, RSC15f late-success-no-resurrection,
-  RSC16 no-auth + non-TLS, RSC6a stats pagination, TO3c2 log context,
-  RSA7 authorize-clientId, RSA16a token reuse, RSA17 revoke error/options).
-  New: ClientOptions::fallback_retry_timeout (TO3l10).
-- Realtime backfill: RTF1 unknown-action tolerance, RTN22a forced-disconnect
-  reason (event-stream witness, no transient-state race), RSA4f oversized,
-  RSA4a1 warning. Ported sweep: 7 client tests mechanically converted
-  (sync→tokio), 8 superseded/deleted (close-timeout mock shapes, wrong rtn13d,
-  4 stale-ignored backoff stubs superseded by the UTS RTB1 formula tests).
-- Conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (deferred_pings/pending_authorize are
-  plain loop-owned Vecs). Both ratchets green.
-- Test status: 1079 pass / 202 fail (later-stage stubs) / 66 ignored; REST
-  unit 689 all green; integration serial-only flake documented (rsl11 vs
-  shared sandbox in parallel).
-
-### 5.5 Channel Messages — DONE (2026-06-11)
-- Publish (RTL6): builder + publish_message; loop-owned msgSerial (RTN7b),
-  pending-ACK queue, ACK/NACK resolution with PublishResult serials from
-  `res` (RTL6j/TR4s); state table RTL6c1 (send when CONNECTED regardless of
-  channel attach state), RTL6c2 (queue while INITIALIZED/CONNECTING/
-  DISCONNECTED; queueMessages=false fails fast), RTL6c4 (channel SUSPENDED/
-  FAILED + terminal connection states fail with the reason), RTL6c5 (no
-  implicit attach). RSL4/RSL5 wire encoding with the channel cipher.
-- RTN7d/e: pending publishes survive DISCONNECTED (queueMessages default),
-  fail with the state-change reason on SUSPENDED/CLOSED/FAILED.
-- RTN19a/a2: pendings resent verbatim on a new transport; serials kept on a
-  successful resume, renumbered from a reset counter on a failed resume
-  (RTN15c7). RTN19b: pending ATTACH and DETACH resent (DETACH resend was a
-  real gap the audit-style cross-check caught).
-- Subscribe (RTL7/8/17/22): loop-side subscriber registry (unbounded mpsc per
-  §8, pruned on close); all/name/MessageFilter (RTL22 — new public
-  MessageFilter type + subscribe_with_filter); RTL7g implicit attach per
-  attachOnSubscribe with listener-survives-failed-attach; RTL17
-  attached-only delivery; RTL8a/b/c unsubscribe semantics.
-- Inbound MESSAGE: TM2a/c/f field population (pm.id:index, connectionId,
-  timestamp — never overwriting), RSL6 decode/decrypt with the channel
-  cipher, RTL15b channelSerial updates from MESSAGE/PRESENCE/SYNC, RTF1/RSF1
-  unknown-field tolerance.
-- RTL32 message mutations are WIRE operations (not REST): MESSAGE pm with
-  one Message carrying action UPDATE/DELETE/APPEND (RTL32b1), version from
-  the MessageOperation (RTL32b2), pm-level params (RTL32e), serial required
-  (RTL32a, 40003), resolves via ACK as UpdateDeleteResult.versionSerial
-  (RTL32d), caller's message untouched (RTL32c). RTL10b untilAttach
-  (fromSerial, attached-required) + RTL28/RTL31 REST delegation.
-- LIVE-CAUGHT PRODUCTION BLOCKER: the realtime service emits DUPLICATE map
-  keys in msgpack frames (`messages` twice in MESSAGE) — serde rejects
-  duplicates, so EVERY inbound message over msgpack (the default protocol!)
-  was silently dropped. Fixed with a tolerant decode path (dedup keys, last
-  wins, re-encode to preserve binary). FLAGGED UPSTREAM: server-side
-  duplicate-key emission in msgpack MESSAGE frames on nonprod sandbox.
-- Also fixed: RSL4a now normalizes JSON scalar strings to string payloads
-  (Data::JSON(Value::String) → Data::String) and null to empty — only
-  numbers/booleans are rejected (40013).
-- Tests: 25 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_messages.rs (all green), incl.
-  a live sandbox publish→subscribe echo round-trip over msgpack. Ported
-  sweep: ~60 message-scope tests ADOPTED (mechanical conversions: publish now
-  returns PublishResult, subscribe returns UnboundedReceiver; 3 rtl32 asserts
-  corrected to UTS semantics — 40003/versionSerial); 14 SUPERSEDED/deleted
-  (broken rtl6i2 port, client-side echo-filter tests — UTS sanctions our
-  server-side delegation, race-class rtn19/rtn7d/rtl6c4-closed shapes, rtl10
-  todo-shells, the rtl5l straggler).
-- Matrix: channel_publish/subscribe/history/get_message/versions/
-  update_delete/message_field_population exclusions all converted to
-  mappings (766 mapped / 197 excluded); both ratchets green.
-- §14.3 conformance: lock inventory UNCHANGED (subscriber registry, pending/
-  queued publishes are plain loop-owned data).
-- Test status: 1161 pass / 132 fail (5.6 channels-advanced, 5.7 presence,
-  5.8 annotations) / 66 ignored.
-- Next: 5.6 advanced channels (RTL12, RTL13, RTL16/RTS3c — needs the
-  fallible get_with_options API decision, RTN17j).
-
-### 5.6 Advanced Channels — DONE (2026-06-11)
-- Channel options: authoritative options moved into ChannelCtx, observable
-  via ChannelSnapshot. get_with_options is now FALLIBLE (approved §14.4
-  amendment): Err 40000 when params/modes change on an attaching/attached
-  channel (RTS3c1); safe updates flow through Command::SetOptions with
-  eventual visibility (RTS3c, soft-deprecated per UTS). RTL16/RTL16a
-  set_options reattaches when needed, resolving on re-ATTACHED via the
-  pending_attach repliers. TB2/TB4 attributes and defaults.
-- RTL13 server-initiated DETACHED: immediate reattach from ATTACHED/
-  SUSPENDED (RTL13a, reason surfaced on the ATTACHING change); DETACHED
-  while ATTACHING = failed reattach -> SUSPENDED with an RTB1-jittered
-  channelRetryTimeout retry (RTL13b; ChannelStateChange.retry_in carries the
-  delay; retry cycle ends on successful attach); retries cancelled whenever
-  the connection leaves CONNECTED (RTL13c). Attach timeouts join the same
-  retry cycle.
-- RTL12: additional-ATTACHED details verified (UPDATE with error,
-  RESUMED-suppression, null reason) — implementation was already correct.
-- RTS5 derived channels: [filter=<base64>?<params>] name qualification;
-  get_derived(_with_options); registry identity preserved.
-- RTN25 detail: a clean CONNECTED now clears errorReason (UTS sanctions
-  either behavior; cleared matches common practice).
-- RTN17j connectivity check REMAINS deferred (dual WS+HTTP mock injection
-  still unavailable; recorded since 5.3).
-- Tests: 10 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_channels_advanced.rs (all
-  green). Ported sweep: rtl13/rtl16/rts3c/rts5/rtl15b1/rtl4c1 groups now
-  ADOPTED (2 broken rts5 ports fixed to pass channel options per UTS; rts3c
-  adapted for eventual visibility); 9 superseded/deleted (rtl13c+rtn25
-  Disconnected races, rtn2e/rtn23b close-shape mocks, 3 stale-ignored
-  rtn7e stubs superseded by the 5.5 UTS tests). get_with_options call sites
-  mechanically unwrapped (~45).
-- Matrix: channel_options/additional_attached/server_initiated_detach/
-  channel_error exclusions converted (791 mapped / 174 excluded); both
-  ratchets green. Lock inventory UNCHANGED.
-- Test status: 1185 pass / 112 fail (presence 94, annotations 14, presence-
-  adjacent channel 4) / 63 ignored.
-- Next: 5.7 presence (PresenceCtx in the loop; DELETES the 2 temporary stub
-  mutexes and reduces the channel.rs conformance allowance 3 -> 1).
-
-### 5.7 Realtime Presence — DONE (2026-06-12)
-- PresenceMap/LocalPresenceMap rewritten as pure loop-owned data per the UTS
-  map specs: RTP2 newness (id msgSerial:index for same-connection real ids,
-  timestamps otherwise, RTP2b1a incoming-wins ties), RTP2d2 stored-as-PRESENT
-  with RTP2d1 original-action events, RTP2h LEAVE semantics (ABSENT during
-  sync, deleted at endSync), RTP18 sync lifecycle with RTP19 residual
-  tracking and synthesized LEAVEs (id=None), RTP17h clientId-keyed local map
-  with synthesized-leave immunity.
-- PresenceCtx in ChannelCtx (DESIGN §9): inbound PRESENCE/SYNC engine (TM2
-  field inheritance, cipher decode, RTL15b serials), RTP1/RTP19a attach-time
-  semantics (HAS_PRESENCE sync vs authoritative-empty, ALSO on additional
-  non-resumed ATTACHED), RTP5a/b/f channel-state effects, RTP17 internal-map
-  maintenance from own-connection echoes, RTP17i/g/g1 automatic re-entry
-  (id omitted when the connectionId changed) with RTP17e failed-re-entry
-  UPDATE (91004 wrapping the cause, resumed=true).
-- Operations: enter/update/leave (+_client) per the RTP16 state table; RTP8c
-  own-identity ops omit clientId on the wire; RTP8j identity required,
-  wildcard rejected (91000); RTP15f mismatch rejected (40012). RTP11 get
-  with waitForSync deferral — failed on channel DETACHED/FAILED and 91005 on
-  SUSPENDED (a deferred-get hang the UTS tests caught). RTP6/7 subscribe
-  with per-action narrowing (RTP7b fixed to narrow, not remove). RTP12
-  history via REST.
-- STUB MUTEXES DELETED: channel.rs conformance allowance reduced 3 → 1 (the
-  steady state). Lock inventory: Channels registry + 2 REST locks, exactly.
-- UPSTREAM UTS CONFLICT flagged: RTP8j (wildcard enter errors) vs
-  RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4 setups using clientId "*" with plain enter(); we
-  follow RTP8j and adapted those ported tests to unidentified key auth.
-- Tests: 17 UTS-derived in tests_realtime_uts_presence.rs incl. a LIVE
-  sandbox enter→subscribe→get→leave round trip. Ported sweep: 93 adopted,
-  26 superseded/deleted (19 poked the deleted stub mutexes, 6 standalone
-  no-loop handles, 1 broken rtp17g1 port).
-- Matrix: all 9 presence spec files converted (895 mapped / 70 excluded);
-  both ratchets green.
-- Test status: 1274 pass / 14 fail (annotations, 5.8) / 63 ignored; no
-  hangs (~22s).
-- Next: 5.8 annotations, then Phase 6 final verification.
-
-### 5.8 Annotations — DONE (2026-06-12)
-- Realtime annotation ops over the wire: ANNOTATION ProtocolMessage with one
-  Annotation (action ANNOTATION_CREATE/DELETE per RTAN1c/RTAN2a, messageSerial
-  set TAN2j), resolved via the shared ACK/NACK pipeline (RTAN1d), gated by
-  the message-publish state table (RTAN1b); annotation type required
-  (RTAN1a, 40003 — implementation-defined per RSAN1a3). Inbound ANNOTATION
-  dispatching to (type-filtered) subscribers with TM2-style id/timestamp
-  inheritance (RTAN4a/c); RTAN4d implicit attach; RTAN4e missing-mode
-  warning at Major level (RTAN4e1 silent when unattached). get via REST.
-  New ChannelMode variants AnnotationPublish/AnnotationSubscribe with their
-  RTL4l/RTL4m flag mappings (1<<20 / 1<<21).
-- Tests: 4 UTS-derived (wire shape + encode, delete + NACK, subscribers +
-  filters + implicit attach, state conditions). Ported sweep: 10 adopted
-  (rtan1a code adapted to 40003 per UTS "implementation-defined"; rtan4e
-  given the Major log level), 7 superseded/deleted (5 compile-shells that
-  hung awaiting ACKs they never sent, 2 empty ignored shells).
-- Matrix: channel_annotations.md converted (909 mapped / 56 excluded — the
-  56 are recorded deferrals: push/LocalDevice, RTN16 recovery, network
-  events, delta/vcdiff, JWT, and API-unrepresentable cases). Both ratchets
-  green.
-- TEST STATUS: 1287 pass / 0 fail / 61 ignored — THE FULL SUITE IS GREEN.
-  Every realtime stage (5.1–5.8) is complete.
-- Next: Phase 6 final verification (clippy, fmt, ignored-test audit,
-  protocol-variant matrix, serial integration + proxy runs).
-
-### TASK-13 Observability — DONE (2026-06-12)
-- Logger handle (level-gated, lazily formatted, cloneable) in options.rs;
-  ClientOptions::log delegates. Optional `tracing` cargo feature bridges
-  library logs to the tracing crate when no handler is installed
-  (Error->error!, Major->info!, Minor->debug!, Micro->trace!).
-- Instrumented per the DESIGN.md policy (6 call sites -> ~35):
-  Major: connection + channel state transitions (with reasons), UPDATE
-  events, presence re-entry failures. Minor: resume outcomes, connection and
-  channel retry scheduling, queued-publish flush + RTN19a resend counts,
-  presence SYNC start/complete, NACK outcomes, RTL17 drops. Micro: every
-  realtime public API entry (connect/close/ping, channels.get/release,
-  attach/detach/publish/subscribe/set_options, presence ops/get/subscribe,
-  annotation ops) and the wire (-> / <- action+channel+serial).
-  Error (NO silent discards): undecodable JSON/msgpack frames (incl. the
-  tolerant-decode failure path that previously vanished), undecodable
-  message/presence/annotation entries, ACK/NACK for unknown serials,
-  transport write failures.
-- 3 policy tests assert the behavior: discards log at Error, transitions at
-  Major, API entries at Micro.
-- Suite: 1300 pass / 0 fail / 41 ignored; clippy clean (default + tracing
-  feature).
-
-### TASK-11 Integration Traceability — DONE (2026-07-13, 0369a29)
-- Matrix now spans rest+realtime, unit+integration: 1120 IDs — 1056 mapped,
-  66 excluded with reasons, 0 unresolved; objects/ and docs/ dispositioned
-  via `!area` lines. The ratchet (tests_uts_coverage.rs) scans all four
-  areas.
-- New test files: tests_realtime_integration.rs (13 live-sandbox tests) and
-  tests_proxy_realtime.rs (28 uts-proxy fault-injection tests over the real
-  WebSocket transport).
-- SDK fixes the new tests forced:
-  - RTL15b: SYNC no longer updates the channel serial — the sync cursor is
-    not a channel serial, and sending it back in a reattach ATTACH (RTL4c1)
-    was rejected by the server ("Unable to parse channel params").
-  - RTN15h1: DISCONNECTED token error with a non-renewable token now fails
-    the connection with 40171 (was pass-through 40142), server error kept
-    as cause (TI1). Unit-spec conflict recorded in TASK-9 (item 6).
-  - RTN19a: typed PendingPayload — resends reconstruct the same
-    ProtocolMessage kind (MESSAGE/PRESENCE/ANNOTATION) instead of
-    pre-serialized JSON.
-- Test-infra fixes: uts-proxy spawns with null stdio (inherited stdout held
-  test pipes open); randomized proxy port base + session-create retry
-  (orphaned sessions from panicked tests hold ports on the daemon);
-  fast reconnect cycles asserted via broadcast recorder
-  (await_states_in_order) because await_state's coalescing watch misses
-  ms-fast transients; coverage generator considers every module a bare fn
-  name appears in.
-- Suite: 1342 pass / 0 fail / 41 ignored (full serial run).
-
-### TASK-12 Verified Claim-Set Mappings — DONE (2026-07-14, 26f1239)
-- The generator's score-0 fallback claimed spec variants by listing every
-  same-token test without verifying any covered the variant; the class had
-  grown to 31 IDs. Each dispositioned by reading the spec variant and the
-  candidate test: 17 tightened to the single verified covering test, 10 new
-  tests written, 4 excluded with reasons (fallbackHostsUseDefault
-  deliberately not exposed; connectivity check is TASK-5 scope). The
-  fallback now emits `?? UNRESOLVED` with the candidate list, so the class
-  cannot reappear. Matrix: 1052 mapped / 70 excluded / 0 unresolved.
-- SDK bugs the tightened tests forced out:
-  - Annotations skipped RSL4 data encoding on publish (REST and realtime)
-    and RSL6 decoding on receipt/list — a JSON payload went out as a raw
-    object instead of a string with encoding "json"
-    (RTAN1a/RSAN1c3/RTAN4b1).
-  - A connect-time 40102 IncompatibleCredentials (token clientId vs
-    configured clientId) was retried forever; per RSA15c it is terminal —
-    the connection now transitions to FAILED.
-- Notable new tests: rtl10b_until_attach_bounded_by_attach_point proves the
-  fromSerial attach bound behaviorally against the live sandbox (the unit
-  mock cannot see the HTTP layer until TASK-5, and the uts-proxy strips
-  query strings from its http_request log);
-  rtp5f_suspended_maintains_presence_map drives a real connection into
-  SUSPENDED via a 1ms connectionStateTtl.
-
-### TASK-1 JWT Integration Tests — DONE (2026-07-14, 3d1eeec)
-- generate_jwt() in tests_rest_integration.rs mints Ably-shaped HS256 JWTs
-  (kid=keyName, x-ably-clientId). rsa8_jwt_token_auth,
-  rsa8_auth_callback_jwt and rsc10_token_renewal_with_expired_jwt replace
-  their ignored stubs; the matrix maps their IDs to the real tests (they
-  were auto-matched to plausible-but-wrong ones).
-- GOTCHA: an "expired" JWT needs iat in the past too — with iat=now and
-  exp<now the server computes a negative ttl and rejects the JWT as
-  malformed (400/40003) rather than expired (401/40142), which never
-  exercises RSC10 renewal.
-- Suite: 1354 pass / 0 fail / 38 ignored.
-
-### TASK-4 RTN16 Connection Recovery — DONE (2026-07-14, 6f546b2)
-- A new client instance can recover a previous instance's connection:
-  ClientOptions::recover(key) (malformed keys log an error and connect
-  fresh, RTN16f1); Connection::create_recovery_key() — loop-command
-  snapshot serializing connectionKey + msgSerial + attached channels'
-  serials (ably-js JSON format, unicode-safe), None in
-  CLOSING/CLOSED/FAILED/SUSPENDED or before the first connection
-  (RTN16g/g1/g2).
-- The recover query param goes on the first connect attempt only, mutually
-  exclusive with resume (RTN16k). msgSerial seeds from the key and survives
-  a clean recovery CONNECTED; a recovery failure resets it per RTN15c7
-  (RTN16f). Channel serials seed ChannelCtx creation so the first ATTACH
-  carries them (RTN16j/RTL4c1). No new locks: everything lives in the
-  loop-owned state.
-- Tests: 6 UTS unit IDs + RTC1c; proxy RTN16d (real-sandbox recovery
-  preserves connectionId, rotates the key) and RTN16l (failure -> fresh id
-  + 80008, still CONNECTED); rtn16_live_recovery_proof kills a client
-  without a protocol CLOSE and shows the successor keeps the connectionId
-  and continues msgSerial 1->2. The 8 stale ignored recovery stubs deleted.
-- Matrix: 1120 IDs, 0 unresolved. Suite: 1363 pass / 0 fail / 30 ignored —
-  verified green again 2026-07-19 (fmt + clippy clean; unit 1238/0/28,
-  live integration + proxy serial 125/0/2).
-
-
-### TASK-2 PresenceMessage::size (TP5) — DONE (2026-07-19, e3ab50b)
-- Same formula as TM6 minus name: clientId + JSON-stringified extras + data
-  lengths; Data/extras sizing shared with message_size via helpers.
-  tp5_presence_message_size un-ignored (3 variants); matrix mapped.
-
-### TASK-3 TM2s1/TM2s2 version defaulting — DONE (2026-07-19, 77fde00)
-- Message::default_version() in decode_with_cipher: a received message
-  without a complete version object gets version.serial from the TM2r
-  serial and version.timestamp from the TM2f timestamp (each only when set,
-  never overwriting received subfields). Realtime MESSAGE dispatch now uses
-  decode_with_cipher instead of an inline duplicate, so TM2a/c/f
-  inheritance still precedes defaulting. Matrix TM2s1 exclusion converted.
-
-### TASK-5 Dual mock injection + RTN17j — DONE (2026-07-19, 4207a10)
-- Realtime::with_mocks injects WS + HTTP mocks; with_mock embeds a default
-  HTTP mock (connectivity "yes", loud network-error otherwise). REC3
-  connectivityCheckUrl option (REC3a default, REC3b override);
-  Connection::check_connectivity() public probe (unauthenticated GET per
-  WP6d; true iff 2xx and body contains "yes").
-- RTN17j: every fallback-qualifying failure (RTN17f/f1) probes the
-  connectivity URL from a spawned generation-tagged task before the first
-  fallback attempt of the cycle; internet up proceeds to fallbacks, down
-  skips to the RTN14 retry state. Zero new locks. 5 new tests; REC3/a/b
-  exclusions converted; the RTN17j connectivity ID retargeted to the real
-  probe test. Suite: 1371 pass / 0 fail / 28 ignored.
-
-### TASK-14 connection.rs refactor — DONE (2026-07-19)
-- connection.rs (3,417 lines) split into connection/{mod,channel_arm,
-  presence_arm,publish_arm}.rs with the ownership model untouched — state
-  types stay in mod.rs, arms hold behaviour; the conformance ratchet scans
-  all four files at allowance 0. Duplicated RTP17i re-entry and
-  HAS_PRESENCE attach handling extracted to single helpers
-  (reenter_internal_members, apply_has_presence). PendingReply enum
-  replaces the per-op oneshot-bridge tasks for presence/annotation ops;
-  raw 91004/91005 replaced with ErrorCode variants. Suite identical
-  before/after (1371/0/28 incl. serial live+proxy).
-
-### TASK-10 Test-suite housekeeping — DONE (2026-07-19)
-- Sandbox teardown: get_sandbox() registers a libc::atexit handler; the
-  handler DELETEs /apps/{appId} via ureq (purely blocking — reqwest's
-  blocking client starts a tokio runtime and ABORTS inside atexit).
-  Verified live (204 at exit).
-- Helper dedup: the mock_client/get_mock/mock_client_json trio (hash-
-  identical across 12 files) extracted to test_support.rs.
-- The 71 none_-prefixed tests renamed to spec-pointed names (65 verified
-  IDs from features.md; 6 pure-Rust-mechanics tests named plainly).
-- Matrix regen sweep: caught 6 regressions from stale generator OVERRIDES
-  (tasks 2/3/5 had updated uts_coverage.txt but not the generator) and one
-  rename-induced auto-match drift; OVERRIDES fixed and pinned — regen is
-  now byte-identical to the curated matrix (1120 IDs, 0 unresolved).
-  Policy note: converting a matrix exclusion must update the generator's
-  OVERRIDES in the same change.
-
-### TASK-7 Delta/vcdiff decoding (RTL18-RTL21, PC3) — DONE (2026-07-19)
-- Bundled the `vcdiff-decode` crate (no user plugin). Internal
-  `DeltaDecoder` seam: production = real crate, tests inject a mock (as
-  ably-js does — pass-through/recording/failing), so no real fixtures are
-  needed and real decoding stays covered by vcdiff-decode's own suite.
-- ChannelCtx::decode_message does RTL19a/19b/19c base-payload bookkeeping,
-  RTL20 id checks, PC3a string-base→utf8; handle_message_action does RTL21
-  ordering and RTL18a/b/c recovery (40018, re-attach from the previous
-  channelSerial). ErrorCode::VcdiffDecodeFailure = 40018.
-- 12 new unit tests (11 UTS IDs) + 4 live integration tests
-  (delta_decoding_test.md): real server deltas decoded by the real bundled
-  crate end-to-end, no-param negotiation, and the full RTL18 decode-failure
-  recovery loop vs the sandbox. PC3/no-plugin (40019) and the live
-  id-mismatch case dispositioned N/A / covered-by-unit. Suite 1387/0/17
-  full serial (incl. live+proxy).

-# Critical Review: REST work to date (clean-rewrite branch)
-
-Date: 2026-06-10. Scope: REST implementation (`rest.rs`, `auth.rs`, `http.rs`, `options.rs`,
-`error.rs`, `http_client.rs`, `crypto.rs`), the 661 REST unit tests, and the 83 REST
-integration tests. Conducted as one direct architecture/code review plus three independent
-audits (spec compliance vs `specifications/features.md`; unit-test quality vs `uts/rest/unit/`;
-integration-test quality vs `uts/rest/integration/`).
-
-## Verdict
-
-The architecture goals of the rewrite are genuinely achieved: no reqwest types in the public
-API, wire types are `pub(crate)`, one `Message`/`ErrorInfo` type, a clean `HttpClient` trait
-without `as_any()`, and exactly **2 locks** on the REST client (auth state, fallback state),
-neither held across await points. The transport skeleton — fallback loop, format negotiation,
-error-body parsing, pagination, token-renewal-on-401 shape — is structurally close to spec.
-
-However, the implementation has **multiple production-breaking spec violations**, concentrated
-in the auth layer and the newer message features, and the test suite did not catch them because
-a significant minority of unit tests are vacuous, mislabeled with UTS IDs they don't test, or
-written to match the implementation rather than the UTS. "All tests green" currently
-overstates the quality of the REST library considerably.
-
-## A. Implementation findings
-
-### High severity (production-breaking)
-
-| # | Spec | Location | Finding |
-|---|------|----------|---------|
-| A1 | TM5 | rest.rs:1263-1272, 694, 720 | `MessageAction` wire values off-by-one: spec is CREATE=0, UPDATE=1, DELETE=2, META=3... `update_message` sends action=2 = **DELETE on the wire**; `delete_message` sends 3 = META. |
-| A2 | RSA8c | rest.rs:243-249, 253-255 | `Credential::Url` has no arm in `obtain_token` → every authUrl client fails all requests with 40171. `Credential::TokenRequest` likewise unusable. |
-| A3 | RSA4/RSA7d/RSA7e2 | rest.rs:176-178, 194 | key+clientId silently forces token auth (not a spec trigger), requests an **anonymous** token (`TokenParams::default()`, clientId never set per RSA7d), yet still sends `X-Ably-ClientId` → server-side mismatch rejection. key+clientId clients cannot publish. |
-| A4 | RSA5/RSA6 | auth.rs:41-42 | `create_token_request` always injects ttl=3600000 and capability=`{"*":["*"]}` instead of omitting → 40160 on every token request for restricted keys. |
-| A5 | RSA10a | rest.rs:176-181 | `get_auth_header` never consults `cached_token` for Key (basic) or TokenDetails credentials → `authorize()` does not switch the client to token auth; refreshed tokens never used. |
-| A6 | RSL5a | rest.rs:931-933, 1362-1369 | `PublishBuilder::cipher()` is a literal no-op; channel cipher never consulted; decode never decrypts. Messages on "encrypted" channels go out in **plaintext, silently**. `crypto.rs` is implemented but wired to nothing. |
-| A7 | RSL1k1/TO3n/RSC22d | options.rs:318; rest.rs:935-987 | Idempotent REST publishing: default is `false` (spec: `true`) and the flag is read nowhere — no library-generated message IDs at all. |
-| A8 | RSL15b | rest.rs:682-746 | update/delete/append bodies contain only `action`/`version` — user message fields never sent, so updateMessage cannot change content. |
-| A9 | RSC24 | rest.rs:96-100 | `batch_presence` sends one `channels` param per channel instead of a single comma-separated value → multi-channel queries return wrong results. |
-| A10 | REC1/REC2/TO3k8 | options.rs:8, 319-325, 108-111 | Host defaults are deprecated 1.2-era domains (`rest.ably.io`, `[a-e].ably-realtime.com`); no `endpoint` option exists; `environment()` generates legacy domains. The current endpoint spec (REC) is unimplemented. |
-| A11 | RSA17/v3 | auth.rs:190-197 | `revoke_tokens` parses a plain array; with `X-Ably-Version >= 3` the server returns a `BatchResult` envelope `{successCount, failureCount, results}` → likely fails against the real server. Masked because no active test exercises the server path. |
-
-### Medium severity
-
-| # | Spec | Location | Finding |
-|---|------|----------|---------|
-| A12 | RSC7c | rest.rs:282-287, 382, 453 | request_id regenerated inside `build_url` per attempt → different ID on each fallback retry (spec: must persist). Also never attached to `ErrorInfo.request_id` on failure. |
-| A13 | RSA10g/j | auth.rs:145-159 | `authorize` merges params with saved (spec: supplied args supersede entirely) and stores `timestamp` (spec: excluded) → replayed stale timestamps → eventual 40104. |
-| A14 | RSA10k/RSA9d | auth.rs:161-168; options.rs:27 | `queryTime` never read; server time queried unconditionally on key authorize; no clock-offset caching. `query_time` and `idempotent_rest_publishing` are dead fields. |
-| A15 | TO3l6 | rest.rs:337-503 | `httpMaxRetryDuration` (default 15s) never enforced — retry sequence unbounded by elapsed time. `http_open_timeout` also unused. |
-| A16 | HP1-HP8/RSC19f | http.rs:135-178 | `request()` returns plain `Response`: no items/pagination/success/errorCode/errorMessage/headers; non-2xx becomes `Err` (spec: inspectable response object). No `version` parameter (RSC19f1). |
-| A17 | RSL6b | rest.rs:1373-1421, 1470-1517 | Decode failure handling: unknown mid-chain encoding restores the *entire original* encoding string after right-hand steps already applied; failed json/base64 steps silently swallowed and encoding dropped. Decode logic duplicated between Message and PresenceMessage. |
-| A18 | RSL4c1 | rest.rs:956-960, 1159-1166 | Binary always base64'd even under msgpack (should be native); conversely `Message`-struct serialization emits raw byte arrays under JSON (invalid wire format for batch publish / annotations). |
-| A19 | RSA8e/AO2 | auth.rs:107-137, 353-359 | `AuthOptions` arguments ignored everywhere; type lacks key/authUrl/authCallback/queryTime; `request_token` mutates library token state (contra RSA4d1); default `authMethod` reads as None not "GET". |
-| A20 | RSA15 | (absent) | No clientId-compatibility validation between options and obtained TokenDetails. |
-| A21 | RSA4b1 | rest.rs:184-192 | Cached token used regardless of expiry; renewal purely reactive on 401. |
-| A22 | RSC2/TO3b/c | options.rs:167-173 | `log_level()`/`log_handler()` are silent no-ops; the SDK has no logging at all. |
-| A23 | hygiene | auth.rs:14-19, 87-91 | `Key` derives Debug and Display prints `name:secret` — credential material leaks into logs/error chains. |
-
-### Low severity
-- RSC15l3: retriable window `>=500` unbounded (spec: 500-504) — rest.rs:557-577.
-- RSC15a: primary-retry after cached-fallback failure consumes a fallback slot; primary success cached as "fallback".
-- RSA4a2: non-renewable token error surfaced with original code, not 40171.
-- RSL1i: size check measures serialized body, not the TM6 field-sum.
-- RSC8e: unsupported-content-type errors lack status/body excerpt detail.
-- TG5: `first()` returns None when no Link header instead of refetching page 1.
-- `Channels::name(_name)` parameter naming; `accept_type()` duplicates `content_type()`; body cloned per attempt.
-
-## B. Unit test suite findings (661 tests)
-
-Quality is bimodal: channel/presence/push files are strong (method+path+params+body assertions);
-auth/client/types files contain the weak population. Full detail in the audit; headlines:
-
-1. **Vacuous tests** (cannot fail): rsa15a/b/c (compare locally-built structs, never call SDK),
-   rsa8c/rsa8d "callback/url invoked" (identical bodies, no callback configured, zero assertions),
-   rsa4f (string-length tautology), rsa8c_with_post/headers/params (AuthOptions field read-back),
-   all logging tests (RSC2/TO3b/TO3c assert nothing — "verify it compiled"), rec3a/rec3b
-   (assert `len >= 3`, true in every scenario), rsa14 (passes even if renewal broken),
-   rsa4d variants asserting `Failed || Connected`, ~20 construct-and-read-back type tests.
-2. **Spec-inverted**: `rsc22_empty_messages_error` asserts `is_ok()` where UTS requires rejection.
-3. **Falsely-labeled spec IDs** (IDs "covered" by grep but behavior untested):
-   REC1b3/REC1b4/REC2c2/REC2c3/REC2c4/REC3/REC3a/REC3b (real UTS meanings: routing policy,
-   endpoint conflicts, connectivity-check URL); RSL7/RSL8/RSL8a (channel status endpoint +
-   ChannelDetails/CHM2 — zero coverage); RSN2/RSN3a/RSN4a/RSN4b (collection exists/release/
-   iterate/identity semantics — only name-string comparisons; note: REST `Channels` is an
-   ephemeral accessor, so identity semantics need a design decision).
-4. **Conditional-assertion holes**: `if let Some(body)`/`if reqs.len() >= 2` patterns that pass
-   with zero assertions when the SDK regresses (incl. rsl1k2 idempotent-id format — exactly the
-   regression it should catch).
-5. **Both behaviors pinned green**: rsa9h asserts ttl=3600000/capability=wildcard defaults
-   (the A4 bug) while tk1 asserts `TokenParams::default().ttl == None`.
-6. **Hygiene**: 7 copies of mock helpers + unused 100-line TestAuthCallback per file; ~40
-   near-duplicate test pairs; stale line-number comments from the old monolith; realtime tests
-   in REST files; 12 `#[ignore]`d stubs with empty bodies that pass vacuously if un-ignored.
-7. **Currently failing** (3): stale rsa17d duplicate (expects 40106; spec says 40162), stale
-   rsh1b3 path expectation, ao2b authMethod default (impl returns None; UTS says "GET").
-8. **Coverage gaps vs UTS** (487 IDs in uts/rest/unit): channel status/metrics (RSL8/CHM2),
-   logging (5 IDs), request() HP behaviors (RSC19d/e — 14 IDs), fallback/endpoint (14 IDs),
-   authUrl HTTP-level behavior, RSA15 validation, batch BPR2c/RSC22 rejections, RSN collection
-   semantics, RSH7 (12 ignored stubs).
-
-## C. Integration test findings (47 active, 36 ignored)
-
-1. **Wrong sandbox**: all tests run against `sandbox-rest.ably.io`; every UTS file mandates
-   `sandbox.realtime.ably-nonprod.net` via `endpoint: "nonprod:sandbox"` (blocked on A10).
-2. **msgpack variant never run**: `use_binary_protocol(false)` hardcoded; UTS requires each
-   publish/history/presence/mutable test under both json and msgpack. Binary protocol has zero
-   integration coverage.
-3. **Payload assertions skipped**: rsl2a (no data checks at all), rsp3a2 (raw-string fixture
-   data unchecked), rsl1k5 (no first-write-wins data check + first-non-empty poll race).
-4. **Coverage claim honest but soft**: 84/84 UTS IDs mapped, but 37/84 are `todo!()` stubs.
-5. **Stub audit**: `rsa8_auth_callback_with_token_request` ignore reason is **false** (fully
-   implementable today); `rsl2b3_history_time_range` blocker is effort not capability;
-   `rsa8_capability_restriction` implementable in its native-token variant. The ably-common
-   submodule is stale vs the UTS (missing keys[4] revocableTokens and the `mutable` namespace)
-   — updating it unblocks ~10 stubs including the revoke server-path tests that would expose A11.
-6. **No app teardown** (UTS specifies DELETE app after all tests); silent poll-timeout pattern
-   hurts failure diagnosability; first-page-only containment check in rsh1c2.
-
-## D. Root cause and lessons for the realtime phase
-
-The 1,157 ported tests created an illusion of safety. The failure modes were:
-- Tests **ported from an implementation** (uts-experiments branch) rather than re-derived from
-  the UTS, so implementation bugs were pinned green (A4 ⇄ rsa9h).
-- Spec-ID-in-name treated as coverage; traceability checks were grep-based.
-- Weak-assertion patterns (`if let Some`, `is_err()`, `A || not-A`) pass on regression.
-- Features with no negative-path integration coverage (msgpack, revoke server path, encryption)
-  silently rotted or were never wired.
-
-For realtime: spec-fidelity of tests must be verified against the UTS pseudo-code (not test
-names), and each implementation stage needs at least one integration-level proof against the
-real service before the stage is called done.

 <!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
-Flags recorded in PROGRESS.md that need filing against ably/specification and/or the realtime service: (1) SERVICE: nonprod sandbox emits duplicate map keys in msgpack MESSAGE frames — serde-strict clients drop every message; we ship a tolerant-decode workaround. (2) UTS conflict: RTP8j (wildcard enter errors) vs RTP14a/15a/15c/RTP4 setups using clientId='*' with plain enter(). (3) Corrupt RSP5g cipher fixture. (4) revoke_tokens unit mocks use the legacy array body instead of the BatchResult envelope. (5) request.md HP semantics vs token_renewal.md FAILS-WITH inconsistency. (6) RTN15h1 error-code conflict: unit spec `connection_failures_test.md` asserts errorReason.code == 40142 (pass-through of the server's token error), but the proxy integration spec `connection_resume.md` asserts 40171 with an explicit note that ably-js substitutes "no way to renew" — the unit spec should be updated to 40171. Our SDK and both tests follow the 40171 behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH 53/68] README: follow the standard Ably SDK layout; add
 CONTRIBUTING.md

Restructure the README to match ably-js/ably-java/ably-python: title "Ably
Pub/Sub Rust SDK", intro + Find out more, Getting started, Supported
platforms, Installation, a single canonical realtime Usage example
(connect/subscribe/publish), then Contribute/Releases/Support. The
developer-preview status and not-yet-implemented features (push LocalDevice,
network events) are called out per the template's convention.

Add CONTRIBUTING.md in the same house style, adapted to this repo: fork/PR
flow with submodule init, build, the unit vs live-sandbox (serial) test
split, fmt/clippy, the UTS-derived test + traceability-ratchet conventions
(pointing at CLAUDE.md/DESIGN.md), and the crates.io release process. The
README Contribute section links to it.

+# Contributing to ably-rust
+
+## Contributing
+
+1. Fork it.
+2. Clone your fork, then initialise the submodules (the `ably-common` test
+   resources are required to run the suite):
+   ```shell
+   git submodule init && git submodule update
+   ```
+3. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`).
+4. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`).
+5. Ensure you have added suitable tests and the suite is passing (see
+   [Test suite](#test-suite) below), and that `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`
+   are clean.
+6. Update `DESIGN.md` if the public API or the realtime state/concurrency
+   contract changes, and the UTS traceability matrix if coverage changes (see
+   [Coding conventions](#coding-conventions)).
+7. Push the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`).
+8. Create a new Pull Request.
+
+## Building the library
+
+```shell
+cargo build
+```
+
+The library has no non-standard build steps. The bundled vcdiff delta decoder
+is the [`vcdiff-decode`](https://crates.io/crates/vcdiff-decode) crate, pulled
+in as a normal dependency.
+
+## Test suite
+
+Unit tests (mocked HTTP/WebSocket) run in parallel:
+
+```shell
+cargo test --lib -- --skip tests_rest_integration --skip tests_realtime_integration --skip tests_proxy
+```
+
+The integration and proxy tests run against the live Ably nonprod sandbox and
+share a provisioned app, so they must run serially:
+
+```shell
+cargo test --lib -- --test-threads=1 tests_rest_integration tests_realtime_integration tests_proxy
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- The full suite is green with zero failures; any failure after a change is a
+  regression. Every `#[ignore]` carries an explicit recorded-deferral reason.
+- The provisioned sandbox app is deleted automatically when the test process
+  exits.
+- The UTS traceability ratchet (`tests_uts_coverage`) reads the Universal Test
+  Specification from a sibling checkout of
+  [`ably/specification`](https://github.com/ably/specification) at
+  `../specification`; check that out alongside this repo to run it.
+- Formatting and lints:
+  ```shell
+  cargo fmt --check
+  cargo clippy --all-targets
+  ```
+
+## Coding conventions
+
+The binding conventions are documented in [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) (loaded
+into every working session) and [`DESIGN.md`](./DESIGN.md) (the API surface and
+the realtime state/concurrency contract). In particular:
+
+- Realtime tests are **derived from the UTS** (`../specification/uts/`), not
+  from any prior implementation, and every UTS Test ID is either mapped to a
+  covering test or excluded with a reason in `uts_coverage.txt`. The
+  `tests_uts_coverage` ratchet enforces this; regenerate the matrix with
+  `python3 tools/uts_coverage_generate.py <full-serial-run.txt>` and review the
+  diff (it is a curated artifact). When converting an exclusion, update the
+  generator's dispositions in `tools/uts_coverage_generate.py` in the same
+  change.
+- All mutable realtime protocol state is owned by the single connection loop
+  with no locks on it; `tests_design_conformance` enforces the lock inventory.
+- Observability is part of "done" per the policy in `DESIGN.md`.
+
+Ongoing work is tracked with the [Backlog.md](https://backlog.md) CLI in
+`backlog/tasks/`; `backlog` resolves via the repo `.tool-versions`. Use
+`backlog task list --plain`.
+
+## Release Process
+
+Releases are made through a release pull request that bumps the version.
+
+1. Ensure all work for the release has landed on `main` and CI is green.
+2. Create a release branch, e.g. `release/0.3.0`.
+3. Bump `version` in [`Cargo.toml`](./Cargo.toml).
+4. Open the release PR (include an SDK Team reviewer), gain approval, and merge
+   to `main`.
+5. Tag the release (`git tag v0.3.0 && git push origin v0.3.0`) and create the
+   GitHub release with notes.
+6. Publish to [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/ably): `cargo publish`.
+7. Update the [Ably Changelog](https://changelog.ably.com/) with the changes.

-_[Ably](https://ably.com) is the platform that powers synchronized digital experiences in realtime. Whether attending an event in a virtual venue, receiving realtime financial information, or monitoring live car performance data – consumers simply expect realtime digital experiences as standard. Ably provides a suite of APIs to build, extend, and deliver powerful digital experiences in realtime for more than 250 million devices across 80 countries each month. Organizations like Bloomberg, HubSpot, Verizon, and Hopin depend on Ably’s platform to offload the growing complexity of business-critical realtime data synchronization at global scale. For more information, see the [Ably documentation](https://ably.com/documentation)._
+# Ably Pub/Sub Rust SDK
 
-This is a Rust client library for Ably, providing both the **REST** API and the
-**Realtime** API (connection management, channel attach/subscribe, presence,
-and vcdiff delta decoding).
+Build any realtime experience using Ably’s Pub/Sub Rust SDK.
 
-**NOTE: This SDK is a developer preview and not considered production ready.**
+Ably Pub/Sub provides flexible APIs that deliver features such as pub-sub messaging, message history, presence, and push notifications. Utilizing Ably’s realtime messaging platform, applications benefit from its highly performant, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.
 
-## Installation
+Find out more:
 
-Add the `ably` and `tokio` crates to your `Cargo.toml`:
+* [Ably Pub/Sub docs.](https://ably.com/docs/basics)
+* [Ably Pub/Sub examples.](https://ably.com/examples?product=pubsub)
 
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-ably = "0.2"
-tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
-```
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This SDK is a developer preview and is not considered production ready.
 
-The client is built from `ClientOptions`, using an API key or a token. Call
-`.rest()` for a REST client or `.realtime()` for a realtime client:
+---
 
-```rust
-let rest = ably::ClientOptions::new("xVLyHw.SmDuMg:<secret>").rest()?;
-let realtime = ably::ClientOptions::new("xVLyHw.SmDuMg:<secret>").realtime()?;
-```
+## Getting started
 
-For token authentication, set an auth URL or callback on the options before
-building (see [authentication](https://ably.com/docs/auth)).
+Everything you need to get started with Ably:
 
-## Realtime
+* [Getting started with Pub/Sub.](https://ably.com/docs/getting-started/quickstart)

-Connection state is available on `client.connection` (`state()`,
-`on_state_change()`, etc.).
+## Supported platforms
 
-### Presence
+Ably aims to support a wide range of platforms. If you experience any compatibility issues, open an issue in the repository or contact [Ably support](https://ably.com/support).
 
-```rust
-let presence = channel.presence();
-presence.enter(Some(serde_json::json!({ "status": "online" }))).await?;
-let members = presence.get().await?;
-```
+The following platforms are supported:
 
-### Delta compression
+| Platform | Support |
+|----------|---------|
+| Rust     | Stable toolchain, edition 2021 |
 
-Request vcdiff deltas per channel via channel params; the SDK decodes them
-automatically (the `vcdiff-decode` decoder is bundled — no plugin required):
+> [!NOTE]
+> This SDK works across Linux, macOS, and Windows. An async runtime ([Tokio](https://tokio.rs)) is required.
 
-```rust
-use std::collections::HashMap;
-let opts = ably::channel::RealtimeChannelOptions {
-    params: Some(HashMap::from([("delta".to_string(), "vcdiff".to_string())])),
-    ..Default::default()
-};
-let channel = client.channels.get_with_options("my-channel", opts)?;
-```
+---
 
-## REST
+## Installation
 
-### Publish a message
+The SDK is published to [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/ably). Add it, together with an async runtime, to your `Cargo.toml`:
 
-```rust
-let channel = rest.channels().get("my-channel");
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+ably = "0.2"
+tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
+```
 
-// string
-channel.publish().string("a string").send().await?;
+Instantiate a client from an API key or token. Use `.realtime()` for a realtime client or `.rest()` for a REST-only client:
 
-// JSON
-#[derive(serde::Serialize)]
-struct Point { x: i32, y: i32 }
-channel.publish().json(Point { x: 3, y: 4 }).send().await?;
+```rust
+use ably::ClientOptions;
 
-// binary
-channel.publish().binary(vec![0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04]).send().await?;
+let realtime = ClientOptions::new("your-ably-api-key").realtime()?;
 ```
 
-### Retrieve history
+---
 
-```rust
-let mut page = rest.channels().get("my-channel").history().send().await?;
-loop {
-    for msg in page.items() {
-        println!("message data = {:?}", msg.data);
-    }
-    match page.next().await? {
-        Some(next) => page = next,
-        None => break,
-    }
-}
-```
+## Usage
 
-### Presence
+The following code connects to Ably's realtime messaging service, subscribes to a channel to receive messages, and publishes a test message to that same channel.
 
 ```rust
-let members = rest.channels().get("my-channel").presence().get().send().await?;
-for member in members.items() {
-    println!("present: {:?}", member.client_id);
+use ably::ClientOptions;
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> ably::Result<()> {
+    // Initialize the Ably realtime client (connects automatically)
+    let client = ClientOptions::new("your-ably-api-key")
+        .client_id("me")?
+        .realtime()?;
+
+    // Get a reference to the 'test-channel' channel and attach
+    let channel = client.channels.get("test-channel");
+    channel.attach().await?;
+    println!("Connected to Ably");
+
+    // Subscribe to all messages published to this channel
+    let (_subscription, mut messages) = channel.subscribe();
+    tokio::spawn(async move {
+        while let Some(message) = messages.recv().await {
+            println!("Received message: {:?}", message.data);
+        }
+    });
+
+    // Publish a test message to the channel
+    channel
+        .publish()
+        .name("test-event")
+        .string("hello world")
+        .send()
+        .await?;
+
+    Ok(())
 }
 ```
 
-### Request a token
+The SDK also provides the [Ably REST API](https://ably.com/docs/rest) via `ClientOptions::new(key).rest()`, along with presence, message history, symmetric encryption, and vcdiff delta decoding. See the [Ably documentation](https://ably.com/docs) for details.
 
-```rust
-let token = rest.auth().request_token(None, None).await?;
-```
+---
 
-## Encrypted message data
+## Contribute
 
-When a 128- or 256-bit key is provided to a channel, message `data` is encrypted
-and decrypted automatically using that key. The secret key is never transmitted
-to Ably. See https://ably.com/docs/realtime/encryption.
+Read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines to contribute to Ably.
 
-```rust
-// Provide a base64-encoded 128- or 256-bit key (keep it secret; it is never
-// sent to Ably). A raw key can be supplied instead with `.key(bytes)`.
-let params = ably::crypto::CipherParams::builder()
-    .string("<base64-encoded-key>")?
-    .build()?;
-let channel = rest.channels().name("my-channel").cipher(params).get();
-
-channel
-    .publish()
-    .name("name is not encrypted")
-    .string("sensitive data is encrypted")
-    .send()
-    .await?;
-```

Subject: [PATCH 54/68] DESIGN.md: recast as a current architecture doc; add
 MIGRATION.md
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

DESIGN.md was an implementation-steering artifact — an exhaustive catalogue of
every type plus a running phase/prior-design narrative. Rewrite it as a doc for
someone reading the repo now: design principles, module layout, the REST
client, and the realtime state/synchronisation model (one event loop owns all
state, no locks; the four handle primitives; generation guard; timers;
transport/resume; presence; delta; invariants), plus the observability policy
and the testing/enforcement mechanics. The per-type definitions are dropped
(the code and rustdoc are the source of truth) and all "differences vs the
prior design" narrative is removed.

That prior-vs-current material now lives in MIGRATION.md, which documents how
the public API differs from the last published (REST-only) 0.2.0 release: the
Error -> ErrorInfo rename, presence field -> method, synchronous slice-returning
pagination, PublishResult from send(), optional token args + new authorize(),
Message.encoding as Option<String>, the crypto builder (generate_random_key
removed), construction via ClientOptions, and the new realtime API.

-# ably-rust SDK API Design
+# ably-rust — Design & Architecture
 
-This document defines the complete public API surface for the ably-rust SDK rewrite.
-Internal types (`pub(crate)`) are listed separately. The goal is a clean separation
-between user-facing API and implementation details.
+This document explains how the crate is put together, for someone reading or
+extending the code. It describes the *current* design; it is not an API
+reference (the code and its rustdoc are the source of truth for types and
+signatures) and not a changelog (see [MIGRATION.md](./MIGRATION.md) for how the
+public API differs from the previous published release).
 
-## Module Layout
+The crate implements the Ably REST API and the Ably Realtime API. The Ably
+protocol version is **6** (`x-ably-version: 6` header on REST, `v=6` query param
+on the WebSocket).
+
+## Design principles
+
+- **No third-party types in the public API.** `reqwest`/`tokio-tungstenite`
+  types never appear in public signatures; HTTP and WebSocket access sit behind
+  the `HttpClient` and `Transport` traits, which also make the client testable
+  by injection (no `as_any`/downcasting).
+- **One type per concept.** A single `Message`, `PresenceMessage`, and
+  `ErrorInfo` are shared by REST and realtime — no conversions between layers.
+  `ErrorInfo` is the TI1 error type used for `Result<T>`, state-change reasons,
+  and `cause` chains.
+- **Wire types are `pub(crate)`.** Users never construct a `ProtocolMessage`;
+  only the state enums (`ConnectionState`, `ChannelState`, …) are re-exported.
+- **Builder-style publish** for both REST and realtime, for a consistent API.
+- **MessagePack is the default** wire format; JSON is opt-in via
+  `use_binary_protocol(false)`.
+

-pub use options::ClientOptions;
-pub use rest::{Data, Message, PresenceMessage, PresenceAction, Rest};
-pub use rest::{MessageAction, Annotation, AnnotationAction};
-
-// State enums (defined in protocol.rs, re-exported here)

-## `error.rs` — Error Type
-
-```rust
-pub type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, ErrorInfo>;
-
-/// Ably error type (TI1). Used everywhere: Result<T>, state changes, error_reason().
-#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
-pub struct ErrorInfo {
-    pub code: Option<u32>,           // TI1: Ably error code
-    pub status_code: Option<u16>,    // TI1: HTTP status code
-    pub message: Option<String>,     // TI1: human-readable message
-    pub href: Option<String>,        // TI4: help URL
-    pub request_id: Option<String>,  // RSC7c: request identifier
-    pub detail: Option<HashMap<String, String>>,  // TI6: structured metadata
-    pub cause: Option<Box<ErrorInfo>>,  // TI1: underlying cause
-}
-
-/// Enum of known Ably error codes.
-pub enum ErrorCode { /* ~100 variants, same as current */ }
-
-impl ErrorInfo {
-    pub fn new(code: u32, message: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
-    pub fn with_status(code: u32, status_code: u16, message: impl Into<String>) -> Self;
-    pub fn with_cause(code: u32, message: impl Into<String>, cause: ErrorInfo) -> Self;
-}
-
-impl std::error::Error for ErrorInfo;
-impl Display for ErrorInfo;
-```
-
-**Key decision:** Single error type for the entire SDK. `ErrorInfo` is used in `Result<T>`, on state changes (`ConnectionStateChange.reason`), and in `error_reason()` accessors. Error chaining uses `cause: Option<Box<ErrorInfo>>` per TI1, not `Box<dyn Error>`.

-**Removed from public API:**

-**Changes:**
-- `request()` takes `&str` for method instead of `http::Method` (reqwest type)

----
+Handles (`Rest`, `Realtime`, `Connection`, `RealtimeChannel`, …) are the public
+surface; the mutable machinery lives behind them (`RestInner` for REST, the
+connection loop for realtime).
 
-## `protocol.rs` — State Types (pub) and Wire Types (pub(crate))
+## REST client
 
-### Public (re-exported via lib.rs)
+`Rest` is a cheap-to-clone `Arc<RestInner>`. `RestInner` holds the immutable
+`ClientOptions` and `HttpClient` (no lock needed) plus exactly two short-lived
+`std::sync::Mutex`es, neither ever held across an `.await`:
 
-```rust
-pub enum ConnectionState {
-    Initialized, Connecting, Connected, Disconnected,
-    Suspended, Closing, Closed, Failed,
-}
+- **`auth_state`** — the cached token and the params/options saved by
+  `authorize()` (RSA10). Renewal releases the lock before doing I/O; concurrent
+  requests may each renew (idempotent, last write wins) rather than serialise
+  behind a semaphore.
+- **`fallback_state`** — the cached successful fallback host and its TTL
+  (RSC15f).
 
-pub enum ConnectionEvent {
-    Initialized, Connecting, Connected, Disconnected,
-    Suspended, Closing, Closed, Failed, Update,
-}
+Each request resolves an `Authorization` header (basic auth for a key; a cached
+or freshly obtained token otherwise — via key/`authCallback`/`authUrl`/
+`TokenRequest`), attaches the standard headers (`x-ably-version`, `Ably-Agent`,
+content-type for the chosen format, optional `request_id`), serialises the body,
+and runs a fallback/retry loop: a cached fallback host is tried first, otherwise
+the primary domain then the REC2 fallback domains in random order, bounded by
+`http_max_retry_count`/`http_max_retry_duration`. Pagination is exposed as
+`PaginatedResult<T>` with `items()`/`has_next()`/`next()`.
 
-pub struct ConnectionStateChange {
-    pub previous: ConnectionState,
-    pub current: ConnectionState,
-    pub event: ConnectionEvent,
-    pub reason: Option<ErrorInfo>,
-}
+## Realtime client: state & synchronisation
 
-pub enum ChannelState {
-    Initialized, Attaching, Attached, Detaching,
-    Detached, Suspended, Failed,
-}
+This is the heart of the crate. It has **one** synchronisation concept and
+derives everything from it.
 
-pub enum ChannelEvent {
-    Initialized, Attaching, Attached, Detaching,
-    Detached, Suspended, Failed, Update,
-}
+### One event loop owns all state
 
-pub struct ChannelStateChange {

-    pub current: ChannelState,
-    pub event: ChannelEvent,
-    pub reason: Option<ErrorInfo>,
-    pub resumed: bool,
-    pub has_backlog: bool,
-}
+All mutable realtime state — the connection state machine, every channel's
+state machine, presence maps, pending ACKs, queued messages, delta base
+payloads, and all timers — is owned exclusively by **one tokio task, the
+connection loop**, as plain `&mut self` data. There are **zero locks on
+protocol state**. `ConnectionCtx` (and the `ChannelCtx`/`PresenceCtx` it owns)
+are plain structs with no `pub` fields and no sync primitives; they are moved
+into the loop task at construction and cannot be shared.

-## Design Decisions Summary
-
-| Decision | Rationale |
-|----------|-----------|
-| `Option<String>` for encoding | Simpler than `Encoding::None`/`Some`, no name clash with `Option` |
-| `&str` / `&[(&str, &str)]` for methods/headers/params | No dependency on reqwest types |
-| Single `ErrorInfo` type | Per TI1 spec. One type for `Result<T>`, state changes, and `cause` chaining. No separate `Error` wrapper |
-| `pub(crate)` protocol wire types | Users never construct `ProtocolMessage`; state enums are re-exported |
-| `pub(crate)` Decode/DecodeRaw/Format | Pagination internals |
-| `Transport` trait | Eliminates ~530 lines of duplicated connection loops |
-| `HttpClient` trait without `as_any` | Clean injection, no downcasting |
-| Builder for both REST and Realtime publish | Consistent API |
-| `publish_message()` convenience method | Migration path for simple positional-arg publish |
-| Single `Message` for REST and Realtime | No type conversion needed between the two |
-
-## REST State & Sync Design (Phase 3.0)
-
-### State Layout
-
-```rust
-pub struct Rest {
-    pub(crate) inner: Arc<RestInner>,
-}
-
-pub(crate) struct RestInner {
-    pub(crate) opts: ClientOptions,
-    pub(crate) http_client: Box<dyn HttpClient>,
-    pub(crate) auth_state: Mutex<AuthState>,
-    pub(crate) fallback_state: Mutex<Option<CachedFallback>>,
-}
-
-pub(crate) struct AuthState {
-    pub(crate) cached_token: Option<TokenDetails>,
-    pub(crate) saved_token_params: Option<TokenParams>,
-}
-
-pub(crate) struct CachedFallback {
-    pub(crate) host: String,
-    pub(crate) expires: Instant,
-}
-```
-
-**Rationale:**
-- `opts` and `http_client` are immutable after creation — no lock needed.
-- `auth_state` holds token cache and saved params from `authorize()` (RSA10j).
-- `fallback_state` holds the cached successful fallback host with TTL (RSC15f).
-- Separate locks because these are independent concerns on different code
-  paths — auth renewal never needs fallback state and vice versa. No lock
-  ordering issues since neither lock is ever held while acquiring the other.
-- Both locks are held only for short reads/writes (clone token out, swap
-  token in, read/write fallback host), never across async `.await` points,
-  so `std::sync::Mutex` is fine (no `tokio::sync::Mutex` needed).
-
-### Token Resolution (per-request)
-
-Every REST request needs an `Authorization` header. Resolution:
-
-```
-1. Check credential type from ClientOptions:
-   ┌─ Key (no useTokenAuth) ─────→ Basic auth header. Done.
-   │
-   └─ Token auth (any of: useTokenAuth, Callback, Url, TokenDetails, TokenRequest)
-      │
-      2. Lock auth_state. Read cached_token.
-      │
-      ├─ cached_token exists and not expired ──→ Bearer <token>. Done.
-      │
-      └─ cached_token missing or expired
-         │
-         3. Unlock auth_state (don't hold lock across I/O).
-         4. Obtain new token:
-            ├─ Key credential ──→ create_token_request() + POST /keys/.../requestToken
-            ├─ Callback ────────→ invoke callback → returns TokenDetails or TokenRequest
-            ├─ Url ─────────────→ GET/POST auth_url → parse response as TokenDetails/TokenRequest
-            └─ TokenRequest ────→ POST /keys/.../requestToken with the signed request
-         5. Lock auth_state. Store new token. Unlock.
-         6. Bearer <new_token>. Done.
-```
-
-**Edge case — concurrent requests during renewal:**
-Multiple requests may discover an expired token simultaneously. Each will
-attempt renewal independently. The last one to lock wins (stores its token).
-This is acceptable because:
-- Token requests are idempotent (new token each time, old one still valid until expiry).
-- Double-renewal wastes one HTTP call but doesn't cause incorrect behavior.
-- Avoiding this would require a "renewal in progress" semaphore that adds
-  complexity for negligible benefit in a REST client.
-
-### Request Pipeline
-
-```
-rest.request("GET", "/time")
-  .params(&[("key", "val")])
-  .headers(&[("X-Custom", "value")])

-└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Key behaviors:**
-- Token renewal is attempted once per request, before fallback rotation.
-  If the renewed token also gets 401, the error is propagated (no infinite loop).
-- Fallback hosts are shuffled once at request start, not per-attempt (RSC15a).
-- `http_request_timeout` applies per-attempt, not total.
-- Fallback is only triggered by 5xx or network errors, never 4xx (RSC15l).
-- If `fallback_hosts` is empty, no retries on 5xx (RSC15m).
-
-### Fallback Host State (RSC15f)
-
-When a fallback host succeeds, it is cached with a TTL of
-`fallback_retry_timeout` (default 10 minutes). Subsequent requests use the
-cached fallback as the **first** host to try (before primary), until the TTL
-expires. After expiry, requests revert to trying the primary host first.
-
-```rust
-// On successful fallback:
-state.cached_fallback_host = Some(CachedFallback {
-    host: successful_host.clone(),
-    expires: Instant::now() + opts.fallback_retry_timeout,
-});
-
-// On request start:
-let preferred_host = state.cached_fallback_host
-    .as_ref()
-    .filter(|c| c.expires > Instant::now())
-    .map(|c| c.host.clone());
-// If preferred_host is Some, try it first; otherwise try primary.
-// If the cached host fails, clear it and fall through to normal fallback rotation.
-```
-
-This state lives in `RestInner.fallback_state` behind its own `Mutex`,
-independent of auth state.
-
-### Auth Methods
-
-```rust
-impl Auth<'_> {
-    // RSA8: Create a signed TokenRequest (local operation, no network)
-    pub fn create_token_request(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenRequest> {
-        // Requires Key credential
-        // Signs with HMAC-SHA256
-        // Generates nonce if not provided
-        // Uses server time if queryTime set (requires network call)
-    }
-
-    // RSA8: Request a token from Ably (network call)
-    pub async fn request_token(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenDetails> {
-        // 1. If AuthCallback/AuthUrl: obtain TokenRequest/TokenDetails from callback/url
-        // 2. If TokenRequest (from callback or Key): POST /keys/{keyName}/requestToken
-        // 3. Cache result in auth_state.cached_token
-        // 4. Return TokenDetails
-    }
-
-    // RSA10: Authorize — request_token + update saved params
-    pub async fn authorize(&self, params: &TokenParams, options: &AuthOptions) -> Result<TokenDetails> {
-        // 1. Save params as default for future renewals (RSA10j)
-        // 2. Call request_token(params, options)
-        // 3. Update cached_token
-        // 4. Return TokenDetails
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`authorize()` saves params (RSA10j):** After `authorize(params, opts)`, any
-future automatic token renewal (triggered by 401) uses these saved params
-instead of requiring the caller to pass them again. This is stored in
-`auth_state.saved_token_params`.
-
-### Response Deserialization
-
-```
-Response body → detect format → deserialize
-  │
-  ├─ Content-Type: application/json → serde_json::from_slice
-  ├─ Content-Type: application/x-msgpack → rmp_serde::from_slice
-  └─ Missing/unknown → try JSON first, then msgpack (RSC8d)
-```
-
-The response format is independent of the request format — the server may
-respond in a different format than requested (e.g., error responses are
-always JSON). The deserializer checks the Content-Type header.
-
-### Pagination
-
-```rust
-pub(crate) struct PaginatedResultInner<T> {
-    rest: Rest,           // cloned Arc for follow-up requests
-    items: Vec<T>,
-    next_url: Option<String>,
-    first_url: Option<String>,
-}
-```
-
-Paginated results hold a `Rest` clone (cheap Arc bump) to make follow-up
-requests. The `next()` and `first()` methods use the Link header URLs
-directly, going through the same request pipeline (with auth, retry, etc.).
-
-### Thread Safety Summary
-
-| Component | Sync primitive | Reason |
-|-----------|---------------|--------|
-| `RestInner.opts` | None (immutable) | Set once at creation |
-| `RestInner.http_client` | None (trait obj, internally sync) | `HttpClient: Send + Sync` |
-| `RestInner.auth_state` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Token cache + saved params |
-| `RestInner.fallback_state` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Cached fallback host + TTL |
-| `MockHttpClient.queue` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Test response queue |
-| `MockHttpClient.requests` | `std::sync::Mutex` | Test request capture |
+The outside world interacts with the loop through four primitives only:
 
-Total: **2 locks** on the production REST client (auth + fallback, independent).
-
-### ClientOptions → Rest Construction
-
-```rust
-impl ClientOptions {
-    pub fn rest(self) -> Result<Rest> {
-        let http_client = self.http_client.take()
-            .unwrap_or_else(|| Box::new(ReqwestHttpClient::new(&self)));
-        let auth_state = AuthState {
-            cached_token: self.initial_token_details(),
-            saved_token_params: None,
-        };
-        Ok(Rest {
-            inner: Arc::new(RestInner {
-                opts: self,
-                http_client,
-                auth_state: Mutex::new(auth_state),
-            }),
-        })
-    }
-
-    // Test injection point
-    pub(crate) fn rest_with_http_client(self, client: Box<dyn HttpClient>) -> Result<Rest> {
-        // Same as rest() but uses provided client instead of reqwest
-    }
-}
-```
-
-If the user provided a token string or TokenDetails in ClientOptions, it becomes
-the initial `cached_token`. If they provided a Key (without `use_token_auth`),
-`cached_token` starts as `None` and basic auth is used directly.

-## Deferred to Later Phases
-
-- Realtime state management / Mutex reduction (Phase 4)
-- Connection loop architecture (Phase 5.1)
-
----
-
-## Phase R Amendments (2026-06-10)
-
-API changes made during REST remediation; supersede earlier sections where they conflict.
-
-### Auth
-- `AuthOptions` is the full AO2 shape: key, token, token_details, auth_callback,
-  auth_url, method (default "GET"), headers, params, query_time.
-- `create_token_request` / `request_token` / `authorize` take
-  `(Option<&TokenParams>, Option<&AuthOptions>)`; `create_token_request` is async
-  (queryTime may query /time). `request_token` never mutates library auth state
-  (RSA8f); `authorize` saves params/options and forces token auth (RSA10a).
-- `AuthToken` gains a `Token(String)` variant (JWT strings from callbacks).
-- `Auth::client_id()` added (RSA7/RSA12).
-- `AuthState` carries saved_auth_options, forced_token_auth, time_offset_ms.
-  Still a single Mutex; never held across await.
-
-### Publish
-- `PublishBuilder::send()` returns `PublishResult { serials: Vec<Option<String>>,
-  message_id }` (RSL1n/PBR2). `messages(Vec<Message>)` enables multi-message
-  publish (single → object body, multiple → array). `cipher()` is real (RSL5)
-  and overrides the channel cipher.
-- Idempotent ids: `base64url(9 random bytes):index` per publish (RSL1k1),
-  default on (TO3n).
-
-### request()
-- `Rest::request()` returns `HttpPaginatedResponse` (HP1-HP8): items normalised
-  to an array, status_code/success/error_code/error_message/headers accessors,
-  Link-header pagination, per-request `version()` override (RSC19f1). HTTP error
-  statuses are inspectable responses, NOT Err. The old `Response` type remains
-  only as an internal shape.
-
-### Hosts (REC1/REC2)
-- New `endpoint()` option (hostname | routing policy | "nonprod:[id]").
-  `environment()`/`rest_host()`/`realtime_host()` are deprecated overrides and
-  mutually exclusive with it. `resolve_hosts()` computes `primary_host` +
-  `resolved_fallback_hosts` at build time. Defaults: main.realtime.ably.net,
-  main.[a-e].fallback.ably-realtime.com.
-
-### Channel
-- `Channel::status()` → `ChannelDetails { channel_id, status: ChannelStatus
-  { is_active, occupancy: ChannelOccupancy { metrics: ChannelMetrics } } }`
-  (RSL8/CHD2/CHS2/CHO2/CHM2). `Channel::set_options(ChannelOptions)` updates the
-  handle's cipher (RSL7).
-
-### Decision: REST channel collection semantics (RSN)
-The UTS channels_collection tests assume stored channel instances with identity
-semantics (get returns the same instance; release() removes it). This SDK keeps
-REST channels as cheap ephemeral accessors (`Channels<'a>::get` returns a value
-borrowing `&Rest`): Rust has no object identity to observe, all channel state a
-user can set (cipher) lives on the handle, and a stored collection would force
-`Arc<RealtimeChannel>`-style sharing onto stateless REST usage. Identity/release
-semantics will exist where they matter — the realtime `Channels` collection
-(Phase 4/5). The RSN-labelled REST tests assert name consistency only and do not
-claim identity coverage.
-
-### Logging (RSC2)
-- `log_level(LogLevel)` + `log_handler(Fn(LogLevel, &str))`, severity-filtered
-  (None suppresses all). Request logs carry method/host/path; failures log at
-  Error. Structured context objects (TO3c) are deferred.
-
----
-
-# Realtime State & Concurrency (Phase 4)
-
-This section defines how realtime state is owned, mutated, and observed. It exists
-because the previous implementation accumulated 18 mutexes on `ConnectionInner` and
-25 on `ChannelInner` with no coherent synchronisation concept. This design has
-**one concept** and derives everything from it. §14 defines how adherence is
-enforced mechanically as implementation proceeds.
-
-## 1. The single synchronisation concept: one event loop owns all state
-
-All mutable realtime state — the connection state machine, every channel's state
-machine, presence maps, pending ACKs, queued messages, timers — is owned exclusively
-by **one tokio task**, the *connection loop*. It is plain owned data (`&mut self`):
-**zero locks on any protocol state**.
-
-Nothing else can read or write that state directly. The world interacts with the
-loop through exactly four primitives:
-
-| Primitive | Direction | Used for |
+| Primitive | Direction | Carries |
 |---|---|---|
-| `mpsc::UnboundedSender<LoopInput>` | in | commands from handles, transport events, completions of spawned I/O |
-| `oneshot::Sender<Result<T>>` (carried inside commands) | out | request/response replies (attach, publish, ping, …) |
+| `mpsc::UnboundedSender<LoopInput>` | in | commands from handles; transport events; completions of spawned I/O |
+| `oneshot::Sender<Result<T>>` (inside commands) | out | request/response replies (attach, publish, ping, …) |
 | `tokio::sync::watch` | out | state snapshots (`ConnectionState`, per-channel `ChannelSnapshot`) |
 | `tokio::sync::broadcast` | out | ordered state-change event streams |
 
-The loop **never awaits I/O**. Anything that blocks (transport connect, token
-acquisition, transport writes) is done by short-lived spawned tasks that post their
-outcome back into the loop as a `LoopInput`. The loop's body is therefore pure,
-fast state manipulation; every input is processed to completion before the next —
-which is what makes every ordering guarantee in §10 hold by construction.
+### The loop never awaits I/O
+
+Anything that blocks — transport connect, token acquisition, transport writes,
+the RTN17j connectivity probe — runs in a short-lived spawned task that posts
+its outcome back as a `LoopInput`. The loop body is therefore pure, fast state
+manipulation, and processes each input to completion before the next. That is
+what makes the ordering guarantees below hold by construction.

 ### The one lock that is not protocol state
 
-`Channels` (the public collection) holds `Mutex<HashMap<String, Arc<RealtimeChannel>>>`
-— a registry of *handle objects only* (name, command sender, watch receiver). It
-exists because `Channels::get/exists/names` are synchronous API. It contains no
-protocol state, is held only for map operations, and never across an await. Channel
-*state* lives in the loop. This is the entire lock inventory of the realtime client
-(plus the two existing REST locks, §13) — see §14 for how this inventory is enforced.
-
-## 2. State inventory
-
-Everything mutable, its owner, and how the outside world sees it:
-
-| State | Lives in | Written by | Observed via |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `ConnectionState` + `ConnectionEvent` | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | `watch` snapshot + `broadcast` events |
-| connection `id`, `key`, `error_reason`, current host | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | part of connection `watch` snapshot |
-| `ConnectionDetails` (clientId, connectionStateTtl, maxIdleInterval, maxMessageSize) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop (CONNECTED) | snapshot fields where public |
-| `msg_serial` counter (RTN7b) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
-| pending-ACK queue (serial → oneshot repliers) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | resolves publish/presence futures |
-| connection-wide queued messages (RTL6c2, queueMessages) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
-| transport generation counter (stale-transport guard) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
-| retry bookkeeping (attempt count, fallback host index) | `ConnectionCtx` | loop | not observable |
-| per-channel `ChannelState`, `error_reason` | `ChannelCtx` | loop | per-channel `watch` + `broadcast` |
-| per-channel options (params, modes, cipher) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | snapshot |
-| `attach_serial`, `channel_serial` (RTL15) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | snapshot |
-| message subscriber registry (id, name filter, sender) | `ChannelCtx` | loop | delivers into subscriber mpsc |
-| presence map + internal (local-member) map, sync state (RTP1/2/17) | `PresenceCtx` in `ChannelCtx` | loop | presence subscriber mpsc; `get` command replies |
-| deferred presence `get(wait_for_sync)` repliers | `PresenceCtx` | loop | replied at sync barrier |
-| pending attach/detach repliers + op timers | `ChannelCtx` | loop | resolves attach()/detach() futures |
-| all timers (§5) | `ConnectionCtx`/`ChannelCtx` | loop | not observable |
-| channel **handle** registry | `Channels` (Mutex) | `Channels::get/release` | sync API |
-| token cache / auth state | shared `Rest` (existing `AuthState` Mutex) | REST auth layer | `Auth`/`RealtimeAuth` |
-
-`ConnectionCtx` and `ChannelCtx` are plain structs with **no `pub` fields and no
-sync primitives inside**; they are moved into the loop task at construction and
-cannot be shared.
-
-## 3. Command/response protocol
-
-`LoopInput` is one enum; a single queue gives a total order over everything the
-loop reacts to:
-
-```rust
-enum LoopInput {
-    Cmd(Command),                  // from public handles
-    Transport(TransportInput),     // from reader tasks: Message(pm) | Closed(reason)
-    ConnectAttempt(Result<Box<dyn TransportConnection>>, Generation),
-    TokenReady(Result<TokenDetails>, Generation),
-}
-
-enum Command {
-    Connect,
-    Close,
-    Ping { reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<Duration>> },
-    Authorize { reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<TokenDetails>> },
-    EnsureChannel { name, snapshot_tx: watch::Sender<ChannelSnapshot>,
-                    events_tx: broadcast::Sender<ChannelStateChange> },
-    ReleaseChannel { name, reply },
-    Attach { name, reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<()>> },
-    Detach { name, reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<()>> },
-    SetChannelOptions { name, options, reply },
-    Publish { name, messages: Vec<Message>, reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<()>> },
-    Subscribe { name, filter: Option<String>,
-                sub: (SubscriptionId, mpsc::UnboundedSender<Message>) },
-    Unsubscribe { name, id: SubscriptionId },
-    PresenceAction { name, action, data, client_id, reply },  // enter/update/leave
-    PresenceGet { name, options, reply: oneshot::Sender<Result<Vec<PresenceMessage>>> },
-    PresenceSubscribe / PresenceUnsubscribe { ... },
-    AnnotationSubscribe / AnnotationUnsubscribe { ... },
-}
-```
-
-Public async methods are thin: build command + oneshot, `send`, `await` the reply.
-Command semantics per connection state follow the spec tables — e.g. `Publish`
-while CONNECTED sends immediately and registers the ACK replier; while
-CONNECTING/DISCONNECTED with `queue_messages` it joins the queue (replier retained);
-while SUSPENDED/CLOSED/FAILED it replies immediately with the spec error. Every
-command has a defined behaviour in every connection state — the match in the loop
-is exhaustive, so the compiler enforces that the table is complete.
-
-`Connect`/`Close` are fire-and-forget (per the existing API); their outcomes are
-observable via snapshots/events. Commands sent after the loop has terminated
-(client dropped) fail fast: the send error maps to an `ErrorInfo` (80017).
-
-## 4. State observation
-
-- **Snapshots**: `Connection::state()/id()/key()/error_reason()` read
-  `watch::Receiver::borrow()` — wait-free, never stale-locked, no loop round trip.
-  `RealtimeChannel::state()` etc. likewise from `ChannelSnapshot`.
-- **Events**: `on_state_change()` returns a `broadcast::Receiver` (existing API).
-  `when_state(target, cb)` spawns a tiny listener task over a receiver.
-- **Consistency contract**: the loop updates the `watch` snapshot **before**
-  emitting the corresponding `broadcast` event. A listener that reads a snapshot
-  while handling event N sees the state from transition ≥ N (never < N). Events
-  on one stream are delivered in transition order (broadcast preserves order;
-  the loop is the only sender). A lagged broadcast receiver (`RecvError::Lagged`)
-  misses intermediate *events* but the snapshot is always current — documented.
-- Snapshots are values (no torn reads by construction).
-
-## 5. Timers
-
-All timers are deadlines stored in the loop's state; the loop's `select!` waits on
-`sleep_until(earliest)` computed each iteration (O(channels) scan; fine for
-realistic counts, a heap is a drop-in optimisation if ever needed). No timer
-wheels, no timer tasks, no cancellation races: cancelling = setting the field to
-`None`, which the next loop iteration observes.
-
-| Timer | Stored | Set on | Fires → |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| connect attempt timeout (`realtime_request_timeout`) | ConnectionCtx | CONNECTING entry | attempt failed → DISCONNECTED, schedule retry |
-| disconnected retry (`disconnected_retry_timeout`, RTN14d) | ConnectionCtx | DISCONNECTED entry | → CONNECTING |
-| suspended retry (`suspended_retry_timeout`, RTN14e) | ConnectionCtx | SUSPENDED entry | → CONNECTING |
-| connection state TTL (RTN14e/RTN15a boundary) | ConnectionCtx | first DISCONNECTED | → SUSPENDED (resume no longer possible) |
-| activity timeout (maxIdleInterval + realtime_request_timeout, RTN23) | ConnectionCtx | every transport input | transport dead → disconnect path |
-| heartbeat/ping deadline (RTN13) | ConnectionCtx | ping sent | ping replier gets timeout error |
-| attach/detach op timeout (RTL4f/RTL5f) | ChannelCtx | ATTACHING/DETACHING entry | op replier errored, state per spec |
-| channel retry (`channel_retry_timeout`, RTL13b) | ChannelCtx | channel SUSPENDED | re-attach |
-
-## 6. Transport integration
-
-`Transport::connect(url)` is called from a **spawned connect task** (never the
-loop): the task first obtains auth (token via the shared REST auth layer if token
-auth — also off-loop), builds the URL (RTN2 params: v=6, format, resume/recover
-keys captured from the loop state at spawn time), calls `connect`, and posts
-`ConnectAttempt(result, generation)`.
-
-On success the loop splits the connection: it spawns a **reader task** (pumps
-`TransportConnection::recv()` → `LoopInput::Transport`, tagged with the
-generation) and a **writer task** (drains an unbounded `mpsc<ProtocolMessage>`
-into `send()`). The loop holds only the writer queue sender + abort handles.
-
-**Generation counter**: every connect attempt increments it; every input from a
-transport carries its generation; the loop discards inputs whose generation ≠
-current (RTN — "operations on superseded transport"). This single integer replaces
-all "is this still the active transport?" reasoning.
-
-Resume/recover (RTN15/RTN16) is loop-side bookkeeping: connection key + serial are
-in `ConnectionCtx`; the connect task is handed the resume params as values.
-CONNECTED processing (fresh vs resumed vs failed-resume) follows RTN15c by
-comparing connection ids and surfacing the error per spec.
-
-## 7. Channel multiplexing: all channels inside the connection loop
-
-Considered: one task per channel. Rejected for v1:
-- The wire protocol is a single serialized stream per connection; per-channel tasks
-  re-serialize at the socket anyway.
-- The coupling RTL specifies (connection state changes fan into every channel:
-  RTN8c/RTN11/RTL3; ACKs are connection-scoped serials routed to channel publishes)
-  becomes inter-task choreography with exactly the ordering hazards this design
-  exists to remove.
-- Per-channel CPU work is small (decode/decrypt of one message); throughput is
-  socket-bound. If profiling ever disagrees, decode can be offloaded per-channel
-  behind the same dispatch point without changing ownership.
-
-So: `channels: HashMap<String, ChannelCtx>` inside the loop; connection-state
-effects on channels are a plain in-loop iteration — atomic with the connection
-transition that caused them (no observable interleaving gap).
-
-## 8. Message routing and backpressure
-
-Inbound path: reader task → `LoopInput::Transport(Message(pm))` → loop:
-1. connection-level actions (ACK/NACK → resolve pending repliers; HEARTBEAT;
-   CONNECTED/DISCONNECTED/CLOSED/ERROR → state machine);
-2. channel-scoped actions dispatch on `pm.channel`: MESSAGE → decode/decrypt
-   (channel cipher) → deliver to matching subscribers; PRESENCE/SYNC → presence
-   engine; ATTACHED/DETACHED → channel state machine + op repliers.
-
-Subscriber delivery: each `subscribe()` gets an **unbounded** `mpsc` and the
-loop `send`s (wait-free). Unbounded is deliberate: dropping messages silently
-would violate correctness expectations, and blocking the loop on a slow consumer
-would stall the whole client. The server already bounds the inbound rate per
-connection; a slow consumer therefore costs memory proportional to its own lag
-only. (A bounded mode with an explicit drop policy can be added later without
-design change.) `unsubscribe` removes the sender; receiver drop is detected on
-next send and the entry pruned.
-
-## 9. Presence
-
-`PresenceCtx` (inside `ChannelCtx`, loop-owned): the members map, the internal
-(local-entries) map (RTP17), sync bookkeeping (`sync_in_progress`, expected
-serial, residual members set for RTP19), and deferred `get(wait_for_sync=true)`
-repliers. The RTP2 newness comparison, SYNC application, RTP17b re-entry on
-attach, and RTP19/19a reconciliation are all plain in-loop functions over that
-struct. Presence events go to presence subscribers (same unbounded-mpsc pattern;
-the public callback API wraps a receiver + spawned dispatch task). `enter/update/
-leave` are `PresenceAction` commands: sent as protocol messages with ACK repliers,
-and recorded in the internal map per RTP17 on ACK.
-
-## 9a. Delta decoding (RTL18–RTL21, PC3)
-
-Delta/vcdiff decoding is bundled, not a user-supplied plugin: the crate
-depends on `vcdiff-decode` (published from `ably/vcdiff-rust`) and calls it
-directly. An internal seam `connection::DeltaDecoder` (an `Arc<dyn Fn(delta,
-base) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>>`) wraps `vcdiff::decode` in production and is
-overridable behind `#[cfg(test)]` (a `ClientOptions` field) so the RTL18/19/20
-bookkeeping can be unit-tested with an injected mock — the real decoding is
-covered by `vcdiff-decode`'s own conformance suite.
-
-`ChannelCtx` stores the RTL19 base payload (wire form, `String` or `Binary`,
-after base64 but before json/utf-8) and the RTL20 last-message id; both are
-cleared on any transition out of ATTACHED. `ChannelCtx::decode_message`
-(channel arm) does RTL19a (base64 first), the RTL20 `extras.delta.from` vs
-stored-id check, PC3a (string base → utf-8 bytes), the `vcdiff::decode` call,
-RTL19c (the direct result becomes the new base), then the standard RSL6 chain
-for residual steps. On a decode failure or id mismatch it returns a 40018
-error; `handle_message_action` then runs RTL18 recovery: log (RTL18a), discard
-+ stop (RTL18b), and re-attach from the *previous* message's channelSerial into
-ATTACHING with reason 40018 (RTL18c). A second delta arriving mid-recovery is
-dropped by the RTL17 not-ATTACHED guard, so only one recovery runs at a time.
-No new locks; the decoder handle is cloned out of the loop before the channel
-borrow. Delta mode is requested via the existing channel-option params
-(`delta = vcdiff`); the SDK never generates deltas (receive-only).
-
-## 10. Invariants (each holds by construction of §1)
-
-1. Every state transition (connection and channel) is decided by exactly one
-   thread of execution; no transition can be observed "in progress".
-2. `watch` snapshot updates precede their `broadcast` events (§4 contract).
+`Channels` (the public collection) holds a `Mutex<HashMap<String,
+Arc<RealtimeChannel>>>` — a registry of *handle objects only* (name, command
+sender, watch receiver), needed because `Channels::get/release` are synchronous.
+It holds no protocol state and is never locked across an await. That mutex, plus
+the two REST locks above, is the **entire** lock inventory of the client;
+`tests_design_conformance` enforces it (see [Enforcement](#enforcement)).
+
+### Commands and dispatch
+
+`LoopInput` is a single enum — `Cmd(Command)` from handles, `Transport` events
+from the reader task, and the `ConnectAttempt`/`TokenReady`/`Connectivity`
+completions from spawned tasks — so one queue gives a total order over
+everything the loop reacts to. Public async methods are thin: build a command
+with a `oneshot` reply, send it, await the reply. Each command's behaviour is
+defined for every connection/channel state per the spec tables; the loop's
+`match` is exhaustive, so the compiler enforces completeness. Commands sent
+after the loop has terminated (client dropped) fail fast with an `ErrorInfo`.
+
+The loop and its state types live in `connection/`, split into arms purely for
+readability — the ownership model is unchanged and the conformance ratchet
+scans all of them: `mod.rs` (loop core, state definitions, connect cycle,
+timers, dispatch), `channel_arm.rs` (channel lifecycle, connection-state
+effects on channels, inbound `MESSAGE` + delta decoding), `presence_arm.rs`
+(presence/annotation ops and inbound `PRESENCE`/`SYNC`/`ANNOTATION`), and
+`publish_arm.rs` (the publish/ACK pipeline).
+
+### State observation
+
+- **Snapshots** (`Connection::state()`, `RealtimeChannel::state()`, …) read a
+  `watch::Receiver` — wait-free, always current, no loop round-trip. Snapshots
+  are values, so there are no torn reads.
+- **Events** (`on_state_change()`) are `broadcast::Receiver`s.
+- **Consistency contract:** the loop updates the `watch` snapshot *before*
+  emitting the corresponding `broadcast` event, so a listener that reads a
+  snapshot while handling event N sees state from transition ≥ N. A lagged
+  broadcast receiver may miss intermediate events, but the snapshot is always
+  current.
+
+### Timers
+
+Every timer is a deadline field in the loop's state; the loop's `select!` waits
+on `sleep_until(earliest)` recomputed each iteration. Cancelling a timer is
+setting its field to `None`, observed on the next iteration — no timer tasks, no
+cancellation races. Timers include the connect-attempt timeout, disconnected/
+suspended retry, connection-state TTL, the RTN23 activity/idle timeout, the
+RTN13 ping deadline, per-channel attach/detach op timeouts, and the RTL13b
+channel retry.
+
+### Transport, resume, and the generation guard
+
+`Transport::connect(url)` runs in a spawned connect task (it first obtains a
+token off-loop if using token auth, builds the RTN2 URL with resume/recover
+params captured from loop state), and posts `ConnectAttempt`. On success the
+loop spawns a **reader task** (`recv()` → `LoopInput::Transport`) and a
+**writer task** (drains an `mpsc<ProtocolMessage>` into `send()`), holding only
+the writer sender and abort handles.
+
+A **generation counter** is incremented on every connect attempt and tagged
+onto every transport input; the loop discards inputs whose generation ≠ current.
+This one integer replaces all "is this still the active transport?" reasoning
+(RTN superseded-transport rules). Resume (RTN15) and recover (RTN16) are
+loop-side bookkeeping — the connection key and msgSerial live in `ConnectionCtx`
+and are handed to the connect task as values. Before host fallback, the RTN17j
+connectivity check is probed from a spawned task to distinguish "Ably
+unreachable" from "no internet".
+
+### Presence
+
+`PresenceCtx` (inside `ChannelCtx`) holds the members map, the internal
+local-members map (RTP17), sync bookkeeping, and deferred
+`get(wait_for_sync=true)` repliers. RTP2 newness comparison, SYNC application,
+RTP17 re-entry on attach, and RTP18/19 reconciliation are plain in-loop
+functions. `enter`/`update`/`leave` are commands sent as PRESENCE messages that
+resolve through the same ACK pipeline as publishes.
+
+### Delta decoding (RTL18–RTL21, PC3)
+
+Delta/vcdiff decoding is bundled, not a user-supplied plugin: the crate depends
+on [`vcdiff-decode`](https://crates.io/crates/vcdiff-decode) and calls it
+directly. An internal seam `connection::DeltaDecoder` (`Arc<dyn Fn(delta, base)
+-> Result<Vec<u8>, String>>`) wraps `vcdiff::decode` in production and is
+overridable behind `#[cfg(test)]` so the RTL18/19/20 bookkeeping is unit-tested
+with an injected mock (real decoding is covered by `vcdiff-decode`'s own
+conformance suite). `ChannelCtx` stores the RTL19 base payload (wire form,
+before json/utf-8) and the RTL20 last-message id, both cleared on any transition
+out of ATTACHED. On a decode failure or an RTL20 id mismatch the message is
+discarded and the channel re-attaches from the previous message's channelSerial
+with error 40018 (RTL18 recovery). Delta mode is requested via the existing
+channel-option params (`delta = vcdiff`); the SDK never generates deltas.
+
+### Message routing and backpressure
+
+Subscribers receive messages over unbounded `mpsc` channels; the loop never
+blocks on a slow consumer (which would stall the whole client). A slow consumer
+costs memory proportional to its own lag only; the server bounds the inbound
+rate per connection. Receiver drop is detected on the next send and the entry
+pruned.
+
+### Invariants (each holds by construction)
+
+1. Every state transition is decided by exactly one thread of execution; none
+   can be observed "in progress".
+2. `watch` snapshot updates precede their `broadcast` events.
 3. Events on any one stream are delivered in transition order.
-4. ACK/NACK resolution is FIFO over `msg_serial` (RTN7); a publish replier is
-   resolved exactly once (ACK, NACK, or connection-level failure per RTN7c).

-## 11. Alternatives considered
-
-| Alternative | Why rejected |
-|---|---|
-| One coarse `Mutex<AllState>` with methods locking it | Locks held across protocol logic invite await-holding bugs; event callbacks re-entering the API deadlock; readers can observe mid-compound-transition state; the Mutex becomes a de-facto event loop with none of its ordering guarantees. |
-| Fine-grained locks per field (the previous implementation) | The motivating failure: 18+25 mutexes, transitions composed of multiple independently-locked writes, no serialization of compound transitions, races between connection and channel updates. |
-| Actor per channel + connection actor | Maximum parallelism, but RTL/RTP couple channel and connection state tightly; cross-actor invariants (§10.4, §10.7) need message choreography that reintroduces ordering hazards; no profiling evidence the parallelism is needed (socket-bound). Kept as a later optimisation seam at the §8 dispatch point. |
-| Shared state + atomics | Doesn't compose: compound transitions (state + error_reason + id + events) can't be made atomic across several atomics. |
-
-## 12. Test sourcing: regenerate from the UTS; ported tests are raw material
-
-**Decision (approved 2026-06-10): realtime tests are derived from the UTS specs,
-not reused wholesale from the port.** Phase R demonstrated that tests ported from
-an implementation pin that implementation's bugs (rsa9h pinned the RSA5/RSA6
-default bug; tm3 pinned the wrong TM5 wire values) — and that the tests we trust
-most are the ones derived from UTS pseudo-code.
-
-Per Phase 5 stage:
-1. The stage's tests are written from the `uts/realtime/unit/*.md` pseudo-code as
-   the authoritative source (same discipline as Phase R: write the test, see it
-   fail for the right reason, implement).
-2. The 440 ported tests in `tests_realtime_unit_*.rs` serve two subordinate roles:
-   - a **coverage cross-check**: the stage is not done until every ported test in
-     its spec range is either superseded by a UTS-derived test or explicitly
-     adopted; anything the ported tests cover that the UTS does not (the port
-     came from 1,232 ably-js tests) is flagged and kept, marked with its
-     provenance — never silently lost;
-   - a **quarry**: where a ported test already matches the UTS pseudo-code
-     faithfully, it is adopted verbatim (cheaper than rewriting, same provenance
-     guarantee as derivation, recorded as adopted).
-3. Ported tests in the stage's range are deleted only when superseded or adopted;
-   until then they remain `todo!()`-failing in the tree, so the count of remaining
-   ported tests is a live progress metric.
-4. A ported test that cannot be expressed against this design is a design defect
-   to raise at review, not a test to drop.
-
-### Mock infrastructure
-
-The mock surface keeps the shapes the ported tests use (so adoption is cheap) and
-is what UTS-derived tests use too:
-
-- `MockTransport` implements `Transport`; `MockWebSocket` is the test-facing
-  controller. `Transport::connect(url)` (called by the spawned connect task)
-  registers a `PendingConnection{url}` and parks on a oneshot —
-  `await_connection()` hands it to the test; `respond_with_success(msg)` completes
-  it with a `TransportConnection` whose first `recv()` yields `msg`;
-  `respond_with_refused/_with_error` complete it with failure.
-- `MockConnection::send_to_client(pm)` pushes into the connection's event stream
-  → reader task → loop; `simulate_disconnect()` ends the stream.
-- `client_messages()` records everything the writer task sends — outbound
-  protocol assertions. `Realtime::with_mock(&opts, transport)` and `await_state`
-  helpers are kept.
-- Determinism: every externally-visible effect flows through the same single
-  input queue as production; timer tests use `tokio::time::pause()/advance()`
-  (loop timers are `sleep_until`, so virtual time drives them exactly). One loop
-  implementation serves mock and real transports — the old code's duplicated
-  mock/real connection loops cannot reappear.
-
-## 13. Realtime/REST sharing
-
-`Realtime` owns a `Rest` built from the same `ClientOptions`. All REST-over-
-realtime operations (history, REST presence get on a realtime channel, push) call
-it directly from handles — they never touch the loop. Auth state (token cache,
-saved params, forced token auth) stays in `Rest`'s existing `AuthState` Mutex:
-the loop never holds it (token work happens in spawned tasks, §6).
-Server-initiated reauth (RTN22/RTC8): AUTH protocol message → loop spawns token
-task → `TokenReady` → loop sends AUTH with new token over the writer queue.
-`RealtimeAuth::authorize()` delegates to REST authorize, then issues an
-`Authorize` command so the loop applies RTC8 (in-place reauth) with the result.
-
-## Stage 5.6 amendments (2026-06-11, approved)
-
-- **Fallible `Channels::get_with_options`** — returns
-  `Result<Arc<RealtimeChannel>>`: `Err(40000)` when the supplied options
-  would force a reattachment (params/modes changed while ATTACHING/ATTACHED,
-  RTS3c1); safe updates (cipher, attachOnSubscribe) are applied via the loop
-  (RTS3c) with EVENTUAL visibility — `options()` reads the loop-published
-  snapshot. `get(name)` stays infallible and never touches options.
-- **Authoritative channel options live in `ChannelCtx`** and are observable
-  through `ChannelSnapshot.options`; the handle no longer carries a copy.
-- **`ChannelStateChange.retry_in`** added (RTL13b/RTB1): the delay to the
-  scheduled reattach retry on SUSPENDED transitions.
-- **Derived channels (RTS5)**: name qualification `[filter=<b64>?<params>]`,
-  registry semantics unchanged.
+   repliers are never leaked.
 
 ## Observability (logging) policy — NORMATIVE
 
-Added 2026-06-12 after review found 6 log call sites in the whole library and
-silent-discard paths. This section is binding for all subsequent work; per
-CLAUDE.md, instrumentation per this policy is part of every change's
-definition of done.
-
-Levels (RSC2 scale) and what belongs at each:
-
-- **Error** — anything discarded or failed that a user would need to diagnose:
-  undecodable inbound frames (including tolerant-decode failures), undecodable
-  message/presence/annotation entries, ACK/NACK for unknown serials, transport
-  write failures, token acquisition failures that surface to state.
-- **Major** — material lifecycle events: connection state transitions (with
-  reason), channel state transitions (with reason), resume outcome
-  (success/failed + why), forced disconnects, re-entry failures, warnings
-  (missing modes, non-renewable tokens).
-- **Minor** — protocol-event detail: retry scheduling (delay, attempt),
-  host-fallback steps, AUTH/token renewal flow, sync start/complete,
-  queue/flush of pending operations.
-- **Micro** — trace: entry to every public API method (name + key arguments),
-  HTTP request/response lines, protocol messages sent/received (action +
-  channel + serial; never payloads or credentials).
-
-Rules:
-1. **No silent discards.** Every code path that drops data it received or
-   abandons an operation MUST log (Error or Major) with enough context to
-   diagnose — channel, action, serial as applicable.
-2. **Never log secrets or payloads**: no tokens, keys, message data, or
-   presence data at any level; ids/serials/names are fine.
-3. New public API methods land WITH their Micro entry trace; new state
-   machines land WITH their Major transition logs.
-4. The default client has no handler installed; library code must not assume
-   a sink exists (the `log` helper gates this) — but features SHOULD be
-   testable by installing a handler, and discard-path tests assert the log.
-
-## 14. Enforcement: how this design stays adhered to
-
-Prose does not survive implementation pressure; these mechanisms do:
-
-1. **The lock-inventory ratchet (mechanical).** `tests_design_conformance.rs`
-   embeds the realtime source files via `include_str!` and fails if any sync
-   primitive (`Mutex`, `RwLock`, `Atomic*`, `OnceLock`, …) appears in them beyond
-   the whitelist documented here. Steady-state whitelist: exactly one — the
-   `Channels` handle registry. (The two temporary pre-design stub presence
-   mutexes were deleted in stage 5.7 as planned; the channel.rs allowance is
-   1, the steady state.) The ratchet runs on every
-   `cargo test`; the first "harmless extra lock" fails the build and forces the
-   design conversation at the moment it matters. Changing the whitelist requires
-   editing the conformance test AND this section in the same commit — which is
-   precisely the review trigger. A companion test rejects `pub` fields on the
-   loop-owned state structs (§2).
-2. **CLAUDE.md binding contract.** CLAUDE.md (loaded into every working session)
-   carries a compact, imperative statement of the invariants with a pointer here.
-   Any change to the contract requires changing this document first, with
-   explicit human approval, before any code.
-3. **Per-change conformance line.** Every change's commit message / backlog
-   task notes must state: lock inventory unchanged (conformance test passing),
-   tests derived from UTS (with adopted/superseded counts where tests were
-   ported).
-4. **Design-change-before-code rule.** If an implementation step appears to need
-   a new sync primitive, a new task with shared state, or loop-bypassing access,
-   work STOPS on that step; the change is proposed as a DESIGN.md edit and
-   reviewed by a human first. A workaround that avoids the conformance test
-   (e.g. hiding a lock in another module) is a violation of the same rule.
-5. **UTS coverage ratchet (mechanical).** `uts_coverage.txt` is a traceability
-   matrix with one line per UTS Test ID (rest/unit + realtime/unit): either
-   `id => rust_test_fn[, ...]` (covered by these passing tests) or
-   `id !! reason` (deliberately not covered — a future stage or a recorded
-   deferral). `tests_uts_coverage.rs` walks the spec tree on every `cargo
-   test` and fails on any spec ID the matrix doesn't account for, any matrix
-   entry the spec no longer defines, any mapped test fn that no longer
-   exists, and any reasonless exclusion. New spec-repo Test IDs therefore
-   fail the build until dispositioned, and renaming/deleting a covering test
-   breaks the link visibly. Closing a stage means converting that stage's
-   exclusions into mappings (bootstrap via `tools/uts_coverage_generate.py`;
-   the committed matrix is curated, its diffs are review material). Added
-   2026-06-10 after an audit found ~50% ID-level coverage in a spot-checked
-   spec file — including a real behavior bug (RTN13d) pinned by a wrong test.
-
-## Implementation order note
-
-Phase 5.1 builds: `LoopInput`/`Command`, `ConnectionCtx`, the loop skeleton with
-exhaustive state matching, generation guard, connect/close + mock transport —
-then each subsequent stage (5.2–5.8) adds fields to the same two structs and arms
-to the same matches. Nothing in later stages introduces a new synchronisation
-mechanism (§14.4).
+Every code path is instrumented at a defined level; there are **no silent
+discards of data**.
+
+- **Error** — any discarded/undecodable data: undecodable JSON/msgpack frames
+  (including the tolerant-decode failure path), undecodable message/presence/
+  annotation entries, ACK/NACK for an unknown serial, transport write failures.
+  A discard path must have a test asserting it logs at Error.
+- **Major** — connection and channel state transitions (with reasons), UPDATE
+  events, presence re-entry failures.
+- **Minor** — resume outcomes, retry scheduling, queued-publish flush and RTN19a
+  resend counts, presence SYNC start/complete, NACK outcomes, RTL17 drops.
+- **Micro** — every public realtime API entry, and each wire frame
+  (`->`/`<-` with action, channel, serial).
+
+The logger is level-gated and lazily formats; an optional `tracing` cargo
+feature bridges these to the `tracing` crate.
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests mirror the UTS (Universal Test Specification) directory structure and are
+**derived from the UTS**, not from any prior implementation. Files are named by
+layer: `tests_rest_unit_*` (mocked HTTP), `tests_realtime_unit_*` (mocked
+WebSocket), `tests_*_integration` (live nonprod sandbox), and `tests_proxy*`
+(fault injection over a real transport via the uts-proxy). Integration/proxy
+tests share a sandbox app and run serially (`--test-threads=1`).
+
+`uts_coverage.txt` is a curated traceability matrix mapping every UTS Test ID to
+the test(s) that cover it, or excluding it with a reason. It is generated by
+`tools/uts_coverage_generate.py` from a full serial test run and reviewed by
+hand; when a mapping's variant cannot be verified the generator emits
+`?? UNRESOLVED`.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+The design stays adhered to mechanically, not by convention:
+
+1. **Lock inventory** — `tests_design_conformance` scans the connection
+   submodules and `channel.rs` for synchronisation primitives and fails if the
+   count exceeds the allowance (the `Channels` handle registry only). Any new
+   lock on protocol state fails the build.
+2. **UTS traceability ratchet** — `tests_uts_coverage` fails the build on any
+   UTS Test ID that is neither mapped nor excluded-with-reason, any dangling
+   test reference, or any unaccounted spec area. Converting an exclusion to a
+   mapping must also update the generator's dispositions.
+3. **Design-change-before-code** — a change that appears to need a new sync
+   primitive, shared state outside the loop, or a loop bypass stops; the change
+   is proposed as a DESIGN.md edit first. CLAUDE.md carries the compact,
+   imperative form of these invariants for working sessions.

+# Migration guide
+
+The previously published `ably` crate (0.2.0) was **REST-only**. This release is
+a from-scratch rewrite: it keeps a REST API — with the breaking changes below —
+and adds a full **Realtime** API (connections, channel attach/subscribe,
+presence, and vcdiff delta decoding).
+
+This guide covers the changes to the existing REST surface. For the new realtime
+API see the [README](./README.md); for the architecture see
+[DESIGN.md](./DESIGN.md).
+
+## Construction
+
+Construct clients through `ClientOptions`. The infallible `Rest::from("key")`
+shortcut has been removed.
+
+```rust
+// before
+let client = ably::Rest::from("appId.keyId:secret");
+
+// now
+let client = ably::ClientOptions::new("appId.keyId:secret").rest()?;
+// or, for a realtime client:
+let client = ably::ClientOptions::new("appId.keyId:secret").realtime()?;
+```
+
+`ClientOptions::new` still accepts either an API key or a token string;
+`with_key` and `with_token` remain. The terminal method is `.rest()` (or the new
+`.realtime()`), each returning `Result`.
+
+## Error type
+
+The public error type is renamed `Error` → **`ErrorInfo`** (the TI1 shape), and
+`ably::Error` is no longer exported.
+
+```rust
+// before
+fn f() -> ably::Result<()> { Err(ably::Error::new(code, "msg")) }
+
+// now
+fn f() -> ably::Result<()> { Err(ably::ErrorInfo::new(code, "msg")) }
+```
+
+`Result<T>` and the `ErrorCode` enum are unchanged.
+
+## Channels and presence access
+
+`rest.channels()` is still a method. Presence is now accessed through a
+**method** rather than a field:
+
+```rust
+// before
+let members = channel.presence.get().send().await?;
+
+// now
+let members = channel.presence().get().send().await?;
+```
+
+## Publishing
+
+The publish builder is unchanged (`name`/`string`/`json`/`binary`/`extras`/
+`send`), but `send()` now returns a `PublishResult` (the per-message serials)
+instead of `()`:
+
+```rust
+let result = channel.publish().name("event").string("hello").send().await?;
+```
+
+## History and presence pagination
+
+`PaginatedResult::items()` is now **synchronous and returns a slice** (it was an
+`async` method returning a `Vec`). Iterate pages with `has_next()`/`next()`
+instead of the `pages()` stream:
+
+```rust
+// before
+let page = channel.history().send().await?;
+for msg in page.items().await? { /* ... */ }
+
+// now
+let mut page = channel.history().send().await?;
+loop {
+    for msg in page.items() { /* ... */ }
+    match page.next().await? {
+        Some(next) => page = next,
+        None => break,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Messages
+
+`Message.encoding` is now `Option<String>` (was a dedicated `Encoding` type).
+`Message` also gains fields for the mutable-message features (`action`,
+`serial`, `version`, `annotations`). `Data` (`String`/`JSON`/`Binary`/`None`) is
+unchanged.
+
+## Authentication and tokens
+
+`rest.auth()` is unchanged as an accessor. `request_token` and
+`create_token_request` now take **optional** params/options
+(`Option<&TokenParams>`, `Option<&AuthOptions>`) so both can be omitted, and a
+new `authorize()` method establishes token auth and caches the token (RSA10):
+
+```rust
+// before
+let details = client.auth().request_token(&params, &options).await?;
+
+// now
+let details = client.auth().request_token(None, None).await?;
+// or with arguments:
+let details = client.auth().request_token(Some(&params), Some(&options)).await?;
+```
+
+## Encryption
+
+Channel cipher params are now built with a builder; the `generate_random_key`
+helper and `Key256`/`Key128` key types have been removed. Supply a key as raw
+bytes (`.key(Vec<u8>)`) or a base64 string (`.string(&str)`):
+
+```rust
+// before
+let key = ably::crypto::generate_random_key::<ably::crypto::Key256>();
+let params = ably::rest::CipherParams::from(key);
+
+// now
+let params = ably::crypto::CipherParams::builder()
+    .string("<base64-encoded-key>")?
+    .build()?;
+
+let channel = rest.channels().name("my-channel").cipher(params).get();
+```
+
+## New: the Realtime API
+
+This is the main addition. `ClientOptions::new(key).realtime()?` returns a
+`Realtime` client with a `Connection` (state, events) and `channels` supporting
+attach/detach, subscribe, publish, presence, and automatic vcdiff delta
+decoding. See the [README](./README.md) for a worked example.
+
+## Developer preview: parity gaps
+
+Some capabilities available in other Ably SDKs are not yet implemented in this
+release: push device registration (LocalDevice) and OS network-connectivity
+events (RTN20). For production workloads, use a
+[generally available Ably SDK](https://ably.com/docs/sdks).

Subject: [PATCH 55/68] proxy.rs: bump uts-proxy to v0.3.0 (from the abandoned
 v0.1.0 pin)

The pinned uts-proxy release was v0.1.0; the current latest is v0.3.0. The
asset naming also changed in v0.2.0 (the version is now embedded in the
filename), so asset_name() now builds uts-proxy_<ver>_<platform>_<arch>.tar.gz
and the checksum table carries the v0.3.0 hashes (from the release
checksums.txt; verified against the downloaded darwin/arm64 tarball). The
cache path is version-namespaced, so no stale binary is reused.

Verified: all 38 proxy tests pass against v0.3.0 (download + checksum +
extract + live-sandbox fault injection).

Subject: [PATCH 57/68] auth: consolidate auth code in auth.rs; isolate the
 native token mechanism
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Auth logic was split awkwardly — the auth types and the Auth facade lived in
auth.rs, but ~250 lines of the actual machinery (AuthState/AuthHeader and the
impl Rest auth methods) sat in rest.rs. Move it so auth.rs owns the durable
auth core and rest.rs keeps only the client-owned state field and the generic
request pipeline. Behaviour-preserving verbatim move (no logic/signature
changes).

Moved into auth.rs (as impl Rest blocks): AuthState/AuthHeader, acquire_token,
get_auth_header, fetch_token_from_url (the authURL path — raw HttpClient, no
Ably pipeline), auth_config[_with], effective_token_params,
check_client_id_compat, token_auth_in_effect, adjusted_now_ms,
invalidate_cached_token. The Key TYPE, the Auth facade, and revoke_tokens
(same for all token types) stay in auth.rs.

New token_request.rs isolates the deprecatable Ably-native-token mechanism:
exchange_token_request + token_request_timestamp (impl Rest) and Key::sign/
sign_with_timestamp (impl Key). When native tokens give way to JWT, this file
and the two acquire_token branches that call it are a bounded excision; basic
auth, authURL, callbacks, revocation, and the state/header machinery are
untouched. rest.rs keeps Mutex<auth::AuthState> (client-owned state).

Only pub(crate) visibility widening (AuthHeader::value, do_request_internal);
nothing widened beyond crate. Suite unchanged: unit 1258/0/15, live
integration 91/0, clippy + fmt clean.

Subject: [PATCH 59/68] extras: type as a JSON object (Map), remove the
 vestigial json.rs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`extras` is always a JSON object per the spec, but the wire types typed it as
`Option<serde_json::Value>` — looser than the contract, and looser than the
REST publish builder, which already took a `Map` and converted to
`Value::Object` only when assembling the message. (The previously published
API also used `Option<Map>`; the rewrite had loosened it.)

Introduce `pub type Extras = serde_json::Map<String, serde_json::Value>` in
rest.rs and use it for the `extras` field of Message/PresenceMessage/
Annotation. This is exactly as open as `Value` (arbitrary/unknown keys and
value shapes) but rules out the nonsensical non-object cases — no typed
schema, so it stays forward-compatible. The REST builder now stores the map
directly; the realtime builder keeps its `Value` input (so `json!(...)` stays
ergonomic) and stores the contained object.

Removes json.rs, whose only remaining content was a `serde_json::Value`
re-export (unused) and a `Map` alias referenced by three tests to build
extras. `Extras` is re-exported at the crate root.

Suite green: unit 1258/0/15, clippy + fmt clean, live extras round-trip
(rtl6, over msgpack) passes.

Subject: [PATCH 60/68] stats: implement the flattened Stats API (TS12), drop
 the deprecated nested types
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

As of spec version 2.2 the deep per-type Stats structure (TS12d-o) is deleted
in favour of a flat model. Rewrite stats.rs to the current TS12 shape:
intervalId (TS12a), unit as StatsIntervalGranularity (TS12c), inProgress
(TS12q), a flat `entries: HashMap<String, f64>` map (TS12r; f64 since rate
entries are fractional though the spec types them as int), schema (TS12s), and
appId (TS12t). intervalTime (TS12p) is a method that parses intervalId
(month/day/hour/minute granularities). All the old nested structs
(MessageTypes, MessageTraffic, ConnectionTypes, Push, XchgMessages, Rates, …)
are removed; nothing outside stats.rs referenced them.

Updated the rsc6a unit test to the flattened fixture and to assert entries,
unit, schema/appId, and interval_time. Added a unit test for interval-id
parsing. Suite: 1259/0/15; live rsc6 + rtc5 pass.

Subject: [PATCH 61/68] test(stats): add flattened-entries stats-injection
 integration test

Injects known datapoints into the sandbox via the authenticated POST /stats
endpoint (G3), reads them back, and asserts the flattened TS12 round-trip:
ingested `inbound.realtime.messages.*` metrics surface under the
`messages.inbound.realtime.messages.*` entries keys, alongside
intervalId/unit/schema/appId.

This guards the deep-vs-flattened regression that previously went undetected:
the flattened `entries` API is gated on `X-Ably-Version: 6`, and a client that
falls back to the deprecated deep structure would deserialize into empty
`entries` and fail here.

Maps UTS rest/integration/RSC6/stats-flattened-entries-2.

Subject: [PATCH 62/68] test(proxy): use proxy-allocated session ports

uts-proxy (>= v0.2.0) auto-assigns a free port when `port` is omitted from
POST /sessions and reports it in the response. Switch to that: drop the
client-side port allocator (allocate_port/NEXT_PORT) and the port-reuse retry
loop, omit `port` in the create body, and read the bound port/host from the
response `proxy` object.

This removes the TOCTOU race of the caller guessing a free port and the 409
conflicts from sessions orphaned by panicked tests.

Subject: [PATCH 63/68] refactor: move connection/channel state types out of
 protocol.rs

protocol.rs mixed the public realtime state model with the internal wire
protocol. Move the public types to their owning domain modules and leave
protocol.rs wire-only:

- ConnectionState/ConnectionEvent/ConnectionStateChange -> connection/mod.rs
- ChannelState/ChannelEvent/ChannelStateChange/ChannelMode -> channel.rs

protocol.rs now holds only ProtocolMessage and its supporting wire types, and
is demoted to `pub(crate) mod` (it exposed no public items of its own). The
crate-root re-exports are unchanged, so the public API (`ably::ConnectionState`,
etc.) is byte-for-byte identical; only internal paths moved.

Import sites now take the state types via the crate-root re-export and keep
wire types on `crate::protocol::`.

Subject: [PATCH 64/68] chore: remove obsolete .ably/capabilities.yaml

The ably-common compliance/capabilities manifest is an obsolete feature-tracking
mechanism, unreferenced anywhere in the repo.

Subject: [PATCH 65/68] test(RSL6a3): implement msgpack ProtocolMessage interop
 test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace the misnamed empty `rsl6a3_vcdiff_decode` placeholder with the real
RSL6a3 tests. RSL6a3 is about decoding binary (msgpack) ProtocolMessages against
the shared cross-SDK interop fixtures — not deltas: vcdiff decoding is
realtime-only (RSL6a applies deltas "in the case of a realtime client"), so
there is no REST vcdiff path.

Drives `ably-common/test-resources/msgpack_test_fixtures.json` through the
existing decode pipeline (decode + round-trip); all 8 fixtures pass, confirming
the REST decode path is complete. No production code change was required.

Subject: [PATCH 66/68] chore: remove .tool-versions (Node pin for the
 Backlog.md CLI)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The only pin was nodejs, added with the Backlog.md integration for the local
`backlog` CLI. The crate itself uses no Node — no package.json, no JS, and CI is
pure Rust — so a Node toolchain pin at the repo root is misleading.

Subject: [PATCH 67/68] ci: modernize check workflow; drop obsolete features
 workflow
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

check.yml: replace the archived actions-rs/* actions (unmaintained since ~2020,
Node 12) and checkout@v2 with dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable, Swatinem/rust-cache,
and direct cargo invocations. Scope the test step to the deterministic unit
suite plus the conformance ratchets; the live sandbox and uts-proxy integration
tests need network access and are run manually, not on every PR.

features.yml: remove. It invoked the Ably SDK-features/compliance workflow,
which consumes the .ably/capabilities.yaml manifest removed earlier — an
obsolete feature-tracking mechanism.

Subject: [PATCH 68/68] ci: drop uts_coverage ratchet from CI (needs the spec
 repo)

The uts_coverage ratchet reads the ably/specification tree at ../specification
and couples the matrix to an exact spec commit, so it can't run in the SDK's own
CI (no spec checkout; and the matrix currently references unmerged #507/#508
Test IDs). Keep the self-contained include_str!-based design_conformance ratchet;
run uts_coverage manually alongside a spec checkout.
