45
+ RESET_STREAM_AT from draft-ietf-quic-reliable-stream-reset -- carried in

+ self-delimiting Records over the ordered, reliable WebSocket byte stream.
47
+ The control channel is QMux stream 0, and every stream gets QUIC-style
48
+ windowed flow control, so a slow consumer exerts real backpressure.
49
+ `QMuxConnection` and the frame codec primitives are exported so alternate
50
+ server implementations can speak the same framing.

17

+ * Nonces are the AES-GCM-mandated 96 bits (12 bytes), built as:
19
+ *
20
+ * [ 8-byte big-endian monotonic counter ][ 4-byte sender-role tag ]
21
+ *
22
+ * The counter starts at 0 and increments by one for every frame a given
23
+ * sender seals (never reused, per `openFrame`'s strict expected-counter
24
+ * check below). The 4-byte role tag is fixed per sender for the
25
+ * lifetime of one E2E-enabled connection (see `session.mjs`'s
26
+ * `enableE2E({ role })`) and differs between the two peers of a
27
+ * session, so the two directions of one session structurally cannot
28
+ * produce a colliding nonce even under fully concurrent bidirectional
29
+ * traffic -- the 8-byte counter alone would collide if both sides ever
30
+ * reached the same count, but the two peers' tags never match, so the
31
+ * full 12-byte nonces never match either.
32
+ *
33
+ * ── AAD ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
34
+ * The frame's `session_id` (UTF-8 bytes) is bound as AES-GCM
35
+ * "additional authenticated data": it's authenticated but never
36
+ * encrypted, so ciphertext can't be spliced from one session onto
37
+ * another by a relay that only ever sees ciphertext (the server, for a
38
+ * genuinely E2E session) -- decryption fails if the session_id supplied
39
+ * to `openFrame` doesn't match the one the ciphertext was sealed under.
40
+ *
41
+ * ── Replay/reorder protection ─────────────────────────────────────
42
+ * `openFrame` requires the frame's nonce counter to be *exactly* the
43
+ * caller-supplied `expectedCounter` -- not merely "not yet seen" or
44
+ * "not too old". This is intentionally strict for v1: any replayed,
45
+ * duplicated, dropped, or reordered frame is rejected outright rather
46
+ * than tolerated or reordered-and-delivered. A later PR can relax this
47
+ * to a sliding window if wsh ever needs to tolerate out-of-order
48
+ * delivery for E2E frames; today's virtual-mode transport already
49
+ * delivers control messages in order, so strict-next-counter is not a
50
+ * practical limitation.
51
+ *
52
+ * ── Key lifetime ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
53
+ * The `key` passed to `sealFrame`/`openFrame` is connection-scoped, not
54
+ * session-scoped: a session that is detached and later Resumed/Attached
55
+ * on a new connection MUST run a fresh `initiateE2E()` and call
56
+ * `enableE2E()` again with the new key. Never persist or reuse a
57
+ * `sharedSecret` (or its counters) across a resume -- see
