Summary

Doc-rot fixes surfaced by a fresh technical-debt scan after the 034→036 refactor cycle. Stacked on #144 (retarget to main as the stack merges). No wire or API behavior changes — the one wire-visible byte change is the client hello version, corrected from a stale "1.0" to the "2.0" the server already announces (the server never validates it).

AimX v1/v2 identity rot

  • remote::PROTOCOL_VERSION corrected to "2.0", documented, and exported; the AimX dispatch Welcome (was a hardcoded "2.0") and aimdb-client (was a stale local "1.0") both consume it now, so client and server can no longer drift.
  • Deleted the dead, never-exported v1 untagged Message envelope + helpers from remote::protocol (v2 uses tagged frames in session::aimx; this had zero users).
  • remote module docs: "AimX v1" and the link to the nonexistent docs/design/remote-access/aimx-v1.md replaced with the v2 NDJSON tagged-frame description, pointing at session::aimx and docs/design/remote-access-via-connectors.md. Same fix in remote::protocol and aimdb-cli headers.
  • aimdb-client README rewritten to match reality: AimxConnection (not the retired AimxClient), v2 framing, runtime-selected transports via endpoint URLs (UDS + serial).

Removed-API references (034 §3.6 leftovers)

  • connector module docs referenced the removed .link() API and an example built on RecordConfig::builder() — an API that never existed. Replaced with the real configure/link_to pattern.
  • ConnectorUrl docs no longer advertise Kafka/HTTP connector semantics for connectors that don't exist; documented as scheme-agnostic with the schemes actually in-tree (mqtt, knx, ws, uds, serial). Parser code untouched.

Stale doc examples

  • builder.rs AimDb example couldn't compile as written (register_record returns &mut Self, so chaining .build() by value is impossible); fixed to the canonical let (db, runner) = builder.build().await? shape. Same fix for the remote module example (.build()?.await? + tuple).

Validation

  • make fmt-checkmake clippy (all feature combos, -D warnings) ✅
  • cargo test -p aimdb-core -p aimdb-client -p aimdb-cli -p aimdb-mcp ✅, plus aimdb-core --no-default-features
  • aimdb-pro cargo check --workspace against this branch ✅

…6 W1 inbound)

Replace the per-message Box<dyn Any> inbound path (DeserializerKind ->
produce_any downcast) with a fused IngestFn built in
InboundConnectorBuilder::finish() where T is known: deserialize + produce
in one typed closure, no erasure crossing and no boxed future per message
(Producer::produce is sync + infallible, design 029).

- IngestFn / IngestFactoryFn replace DeserializerFn/ContextDeserializerFn/
  DeserializerKind and ProducerTrait/ProducerFactoryFn (all deleted)
- InboundConnectorLink carries the ingest factory (non-optional; finish()
  validates the deserializer before registering, unchanged error strings)
- Router::route is now a sync fn taking &RuntimeContext (every production
  caller already passed Some(&ctx); the context-skip branch is
  unrepresentable with fused closures, its test removed)
- collect_inbound_routes returns Vec<(String, IngestFn)>
- pump_source / pump_client inbound / ws dispatch drop one .await
- delete dead TypedRecord::create_producer_trait

Registrar API (with_deserializer/_raw, link_from) is source-compatible;
MQTT/KNX/WS builders pass routes opaquely and compile unchanged.

Part of design 036 W1 (data-plane de-Any).

…ion (036 W1 outbound)

Replace the per-message Box<dyn Any> outbound path (subscribe_any ->
recv_any -> SerializerFn(&dyn Any) downcast, plus topic_any(&dyn Any))
with a fused SerializedSource built in OutboundConnectorBuilder::finish()
where T is known: its readers yield destination + serialized payload
directly (subscribe -> recv -> resolve topic -> serialize, all typed).

- SerializedSource / SerializedReader / SerializedValue / SourceFactoryFn
  replace ConsumerTrait/AnyReader/SerializerKind/SerializerFn/
  ContextSerializerFn/ConsumerFactoryFn and the erased TopicProviderAny/
  TopicProviderWrapper/TopicProviderFn (all deleted; the typed
  TopicProvider<T> trait is now stored as-is)
- OutboundRoute is { topic, source, config }; ConnectorLink carries the
  source factory (non-optional; finish() validates the serializer before
  registering, unchanged error strings; the "skip links without
  serializer" branch in collect_outbound_routes is gone)
- RuntimeContext is threaded into SerializedReader::recv per call (026
  context serializers), not captured; raw serializers skip the ctx clone
- Buffer errors propagate unchanged (BufferLagged => pump continues,
  other => pump stops); serialize failures are logged and skipped inside
  the reader, observably identical to the old pump-side continue
- pump_sink / pump_client outbound collapse to recv + publish

What disappears per message: the Box<dyn Any> allocation, two downcasts,
the topic_any erasure crossing, and the subscribe_any boxed future. The
one remaining Box::pin per recv is the object-safe-async cost that
already existed.

Registrar API (with_serializer/_raw, with_topic_provider, link_to) is
source-compatible; the KNX fake-gateway and session smoke tests pass
unmodified.

…asure (036 W1 wrap-up)

- delete SerializeError::TypeMismatch — both constructors died with the
  W1 fusion (the downcasts are gone); DbError::TypeMismatch is unrelated
  and stays
- delete dead ConnectorClient (held Arc<dyn Any>, zero users) and
  OutboundConnectorLink (zero users)
- document on JoinTrigger why the join fan-in deliberately keeps its
  Box<dyn Any + Send> (the erasure is the multi-type join API)
- CHANGELOG entries (global + aimdb-core + websocket-connector)
- check in design docs 034/035/036 and amend the 036 W1 acceptance grep:
  DynBuffer::as_any and the session auth ext slots are setup-time hits
  the original literal grep missed

AnyRecord carried ~22 methods spanning four concerns; every remote-access
or profiling change churned the core storage contract. Split by consumer:

- AnyRecord (6 methods): storage/lifecycle only — validate, as_any(_mut),
  drain_config_errors, set_writable_erased, plus the cfg-gated
  json_access() accessor so the remote-access gate lives in one place.
- RecordIntrospect (supertrait): graph/metadata introspection consumed by
  the builder's dependency-graph construction, route collection, and
  list_records.
- JsonRecordAccess (cfg remote-access): latest_json / subscribe_json /
  set_from_json, reached via json_access(); the runtime
  .with_remote_access() checks stay inside the methods, so behavior is
  unchanged. Gate is `remote-access` (the 036 sketch said json-serialize).
- RecordMetricsReset (supertrait): the cfg-gated no-op-default resets.

Supertrait wiring keeps every dyn AnyRecord call site compiling unchanged;
only the four JSON call sites switch to the accessor. Registry storage
stays Vec<Box<dyn AnyRecord>>. Drops the dead outbound_connector_urls
(cfg std) — zero callers in-tree and in aimdb-pro.

…036 W5)

intern() leaked a fresh allocation on every call, so re-interning the same
key leaked again. A global dedup table (std Mutex / spin Mutex, same
pattern as the TypedRecord field locks) now returns the existing 'static
allocation for a known key, bounding the leak by the number of *distinct*
dynamic keys — the actual lifetime contract of a record key. The contract
is documented loudly on intern(), and the debug-build tripwire now counts
distinct keys instead of calls.

The &'static str / Copy design stays; an Arc<str> key variant remains
rejected (forks RecordKey into two shapes — the 034 §3.1 mistake).

…tion (036 W6)

The 18-line no-op #[defmt::global_logger] + panic handler + host time
driver block existed in three copies (embassy-adapter session_smoke,
embassy-adapter buffer.rs tests, serial-connector embassy_smoke). Per 035
§2.4, an exported host_test_stubs! macro in aimdb-embassy-adapter now
holds the single definition; each test binary expands it once, preserving
the once-per-binary requirement of #[global_logger]/time_driver_impl!.

The time driver uses the wake_by_ref variant (buffer.rs's superset
behavior: zero-duration sleeps complete; the smokes never sleep). The
serial-connector defmt/embassy-time-driver dev-deps stay — the expansion
references them at the invocation site; the Cargo.toml comment now says
so.

…, W7 skipped

- W3: Nucleo firmware build verified (thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf); single
  run on a main build is the bar now that #140 is merged. Bench session
  is the remaining work and the gate for closing 035.
- W4: deferred pending W3 scenario-1 AckTimeout evidence (decision
  2026-06-12). Design pre-decided for the trigger: buffer the sent frame
  (option a) — GroupWrite already carries a 254-byte APDU buffer, so the
  semantic-content variant saves ~350 B total, no real RAM argument.
- W7: skipped entirely (decision 2026-06-12); no audit will be run.

…d miss (036 W4)

KNXnet/IP 3.8.4 says: repeat an unACKed TUNNELING_REQUEST once after the
timeout, then tear the connection down on the second miss. The engine
previously expired and warned only — hardware bench evidence (W3,
2026-06-12) showed ten button-press writes silently lost during a link
outage's heartbeat-detection window (~65 s).

TunnelConfig gains ack_retransmits (default 1 = spec behavior; 0 = the
old expire-and-warn for the previous semantics). The pending-ACK slot
buffers the sent frame (option (a) per the 036 W4 decision record:
GroupWrite already carries a 254-byte APDU, so rebuilding from semantic
content saves ~350 B total — not worth the rebuild path). On expiry with
retries left the identical frame is re-sent (same sequence counter) and
the timer re-armed; on final expiry AckTimeout is reported and the
engine disconnects so queued commands flush after the re-handshake
instead of vanishing into a dead tunnel. Eviction on map overflow stays
warn-only (overflow is not confirmed loss).

Behavior change at default config: a tunnel with a persistently
unanswered write now reconnects within ~2× ack_timeout_ms instead of
staying connected. Retransmit delay is ack_timeout_ms (3 s, the
pre-engine constant); strict spec timing is one config knob away
(ack_timeout_ms = 1_000).

Tests: engine units (identical-frame retransmit, ack-after-retransmit,
disconnect on second miss, legacy mode pinned at ack_retransmits=0) +
fake-gateway test dropping the first ACK and asserting the byte-identical
repeat and tunnel survival.

Doc-rot fixes from the post-036 debt scan; no wire or API behavior
changes (the one wire-visible byte change — the client hello version —
is corrected from a stale "1.0" to the "2.0" the server already
announces; the server never validates it).

- remote::PROTOCOL_VERSION corrected to "2.0", documented, and exported;
  the AimX dispatch Welcome and aimdb-client both use it now, so client
  and server can no longer drift. The dead, never-exported v1 untagged
  Message envelope and its helpers are deleted.
- remote module docs: "AimX v1" + link to the nonexistent
  docs/design/remote-access/aimx-v1.md replaced with the v2 NDJSON
  tagged-frame description pointing at session::aimx and
  remote-access-via-connectors.md; stale .build()? example fixed to the
  (db, runner) = build().await? shape.
- connector module docs: removed-`.link()` API replaced with the real
  configure/link_to pattern (the old example used a RecordConfig::builder
  API that never existed); ConnectorUrl no longer advertises Kafka/HTTP
  connector semantics for connectors that don't exist — documented as
  scheme-agnostic with real schemes (mqtt, knx, ws, uds, serial).
- builder.rs AimDb example fixed: register_record returns &mut Self, so
  the old chained .build() could not compile.
- aimdb-client README rewritten to match reality (AimxConnection, v2
  wire, endpoint URLs incl. serial); crate doc + aimdb-cli doc updated.
