+ # ADR-003: Cloudflare Durable Object sharding strategy
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2025-02-01 (Phase 3)
4
+ **Status:** Accepted
5
+ **Supersedes:** —
6
+ **Superseded by:** —
7
+
8
+ ## Context
9
+
10
+ Cloudflare Durable Objects (DOs) are single-threaded per-instance: all
11
+ requests to a given DO instance are serialized. This is ideal for enforcing
12
+ uniqueness invariants (two racing requests land on the same DO, one after the
13
+ other), but a single DO instance is a throughput ceiling. ServerlessIRCd needs
14
+ three DO classes:
15
+
16
+ 1. **ConnectionDO** — one per WebSocket connection. Keyed by `connectionId`.
17
+ No sharding needed: each connection is its own instance.
18
+ 2. **ChannelDO** — one per channel. Keyed by lowercased channel name.
19
+ No sharding needed: one DO per channel is the natural unit; a hot channel
20
+ (1k+ members) is bounded by DO fanout latency, not by DO count.
21
+ 3. **RegistryDO** — holds the global nick → connectionId map. If this were a
22
+ single DO, every nick registration on the entire server would serialize
23
+ through one instance. That is an unacceptable bottleneck for any non-trivial
24
+ deployment.
25
+
26
+ The open question (PLAN §9): *"Channel DO sharding granularity (one DO per
27
+ channel vs. bucketed)?"* and *"Registry DO: how to shard?"*
28
+
29
+ ## Decision
30
+
31
+ **ConnectionDO:** one instance per connection (`idFromName(connectionId)`).
32
+ No sharding.
33
+
34
+ **ChannelDO:** one instance per channel
35
+ (`idFromName(lowercasedChannelName)`). No bucketing. If a hot channel exceeds
36
+ DO throughput limits, the mitigation is fanout batching (one `stub()` call
37
+ carrying multiple lines) rather than splitting the channel across DOs. A
38
+ single channel's roster and modes live in one DO so that all mutations are
39
+ serialized correctly.
40
+
41
+ **RegistryDO:** sharded by `hash(lowercased(nick)) % N`, where `N` defaults
42
+ to **32** (`DEFAULT_REGISTRY_SHARDS`). The hash function is FNV-1a 32-bit,
43
+ chosen for its uniform distribution, deterministic output (no randomness),
44
+ and trivial implementation.
45
+
46
+ ```
47
+ shard = fnv1a32(nick.toLowerCase()) % N
48
+ key = `s${shard}` // e.g. "s7", "s31"
49
+ stub = env.REGISTRY_DO.get(env.REGISTRY_DO.idFromName(key))
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ Two clients racing on the same nick always land on the same shard (because
53
+ lowercasing collapses case variants), so the single-shard uniqueness check
54
+ covers all case variants. Different nicks spread across shards, so
55
+ registration throughput scales with the fleet size.
56
+
57
+ Cross-shard nick changes (old nick and new nick hash to different shards)
58
+ use a two-phase reserve-new-then-release-old. The new-nick shard wins the
59
+ race; the old-nick shard is released only after the new reservation succeeds.
60
+
61
+ `N` is configurable via the `REGISTRY_SHARDS` environment variable. Changing
62
+ `N` in production requires a migration (re-sharding every existing nick entry
63
+ to its new shard).
64
+
65
+ ## Consequences
66
+
67
+ **Positive:**
68
+ - Nick uniqueness is race-free within the DO model. No conditional writes,
69
+ no optimistic concurrency — the DO's serial execution is the lock.
70
+ - Registration throughput scales horizontally: 32 shards handle 32× the
71
+ single-DO throughput for distinct nicks.

+ - One DO per channel keeps channel semantics simple: JOIN/PART/MODE/KICK all
73
+ serialize through the same instance.
74
+
75
+ **Negative:**
76
+ - Changing `N` (the shard count) requires migrating every existing nick to
77
+ its new shard. This is an offline migration, not a live reshard. The shard
78
+ count should be chosen conservatively at deployment time.
79
+ - The channel registry problem: there is no DO that "knows" all channels
80
+ (LIST, TICKET-073). A dedicated registry DO or KV index is needed — this is
81
+ a known gap tracked in TICKET-073.
82
+ - Hot-nick collisions (many nicks hashing to the same shard) are possible but
83
+ statistically rare with FNV-1a and `N = 32` for typical populations.
84
+
85
+ ### Outbound batching scope (TICKET-087)
86
+
87
+ The fanout batching decided above is implemented **per call**:
88
+ `ConnectionDO.deliver()` joins every line of one ChannelDO broadcast into a
89
+ single `WebSocket.send()`, and the actor's `send` handler does the same for
90
+ all lines of one frame's response. A speculative **cross-call** coalescing
91
+ optimization (queueing lines from independent `deliver`/`send` invocations
92
+ within one microtask and flushing them as one write) was reserved as a
93
+ commented-out field in `ConnectionDO` and subsequently **dropped**: it would
94
+ add a drain queue and a `queueMicrotask` scheduler, introduce ordering
95
+ hazards between independent fan-out calls, and yield no measured benefit —
96
+ nothing in the TICKET-049 load-test report or the ChannelDO fan-out path
97
+ shows WS round-trips as a bottleneck. The AWS adapter batches at a different
98
+ layer (per-invocation `outbound: string[]` accumulated then posted once), so
99
+ no shared abstraction is worth extracting. Revisit only if WS round-trips
100
+ become a demonstrated bottleneck.

+ # ADR-004: AWS DynamoDB schema
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2025-02-15 (Phase 4)
4
+ **Status:** Accepted
5
+ **Supersedes:** —
6
+ **Superseded by:** —
7
+
8
+ ## Context
9
+
10
+ The AWS adapter runs IRC state on DynamoDB (single table family, not
11
+ single-table design). Unlike Cloudflare Durable Objects, DynamoDB does not
12
+ serialize access to a record by default — concurrent writes can interleave.
13
+ Nick uniqueness, channel membership atomicity, and gone-connection cleanup
14
+ all require explicit concurrency control.
15
+
16
+ The schema must support: connection records, channel metadata, channel
17
+ membership (roster), nick registry, and SASL account credentials. It must
18
+ also handle the Lambda invocation model: each `$default` invocation is a
19
+ fresh process that reads state, runs a reducer, and writes back — there is no
20
+ in-memory state between invocations.
21
+
22
+ ## Decision
23
+
24
+ Five tables, each with a clear partition-key boundary:
25
+
26
+ | Table | Partition Key | Sort Key | TTL | Purpose |
27
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
28
+ | `Connections` | `connectionId` | — | `idleSince` | Per-connection state: nick, user, host, caps, joined channels, away |
29
+ | `ChannelMeta` | `channelName` | — | — | Topic, modes, key, limit |
30
+ | `ChannelMembers` | `channelName` | `connectionId` | — | Roster: membership + prefix flags (op/voice) |
31
+ | `Nicks` | `nickLower` | — | — | Nick → connectionId registry |
32
+ | `Accounts` | `account` | — | — | SASL credentials (scrypt-hashed, never plaintext) |
33
+
34
+ **Concurrency invariants:**
35
+ - **Nick uniqueness:** enforced via conditional `PutItem`
36
+ (`ConditionExpression: attribute_not_exists(nickLower)`). Two racing
37
+ Puts for the same nick — exactly one succeeds; the other gets a
38
+ `ConditionalCheckFailedException` → `433 ERR_NICKNAMEINUSE`.
39
+ - **Membership atomicity:** `TransactWriteItems` spans `Connections`
40
+ (update `joinedChannels`) and `ChannelMembers` (add/remove member) in a
41
+ single atomic transaction. Concurrent JOIN/PART by the same connection
42
+ cannot leave inconsistent state.
43
+ - **Gone connections:** `ApiGatewayManagementApi.postToConnection` throws
44
+ `GoneException` for a stale connection. The handler catches this, triggers
45
+ lazy cleanup (removes the `Connections` row + `ChannelMembers` rows), and
46
+ broadcasts QUIT to peers (TICKET-074). A sweeper Lambda reaps rows whose
47
+ `idleSince` TTL has expired.
48
+ - **Environment isolation:** physical table names are environment-prefixed
49
+ (`<Env>Connections`, e.g. `StagingConnections`) so staging and production
50
+ can coexist in the same account + region (TICKET-066).
51
+
52
+ **SASL credentials** (`Accounts`): stored as scrypt `HashedAccountCredential`
53
+ rows (`{ account, algorithm, salt, hash }`, base64-encoded). The Lambda
54
+ pre-loads all rows at cold start into an in-memory `DynamoAccountStore`; the
55
+ reducer's `AccountStore.verify()` stays synchronous (reducers are pure — no
56
+ async). Seed tooling (`tools/seed-aws-accounts.ts`) writes hashed rows; never
57
+ plaintext.
58
+
59
+ ## Consequences
60
+
61
+ **Positive:**
62
+ - Clear separation of concerns: each table is one authority (matches
63
+ ADR-002). A channel's metadata, membership, and each member's connection
64
+ record are independently addressable.
65
+ - Conditional writes + `TransactWriteItems` give race-free semantics without
66
+ locks — the natural fit for DynamoDB.
67
+ - `idleSince` TTL auto-reaps idle connections even if the sweeper misses a
68
+ tick; the sweeper is a belt-and-suspenders cleanup, not the only path.
69
+ - Pay-per-request billing means idle tables cost nothing; the schema does not
70
+ over-provision.
71
+
72
+ **Negative:**
73
+ - Five tables (vs. a single-table design) means more `TransactWriteItems`
74
+ spanning multiple partitions. `TransactWriteItems` consumes more RCUs than
75
+ individual writes and has a 100-item-per-transaction cap. Membership
76
+ transactions are 2 items (well within limits), but a future feature that
77
+ touches many channels in one command could approach the cap.
78
+ - No cross-table GSI for "all channels a connection is in" — the
79
+ `Connections` row stores `joinedChannels` as a set, which must be updated
80
+ on every JOIN/PART. This duplicates membership data between `Connections`
81
+ and `ChannelMembers`, kept consistent by the transaction.
82
+ - `Accounts` pre-loading at cold start means every Lambda cold start scans
83
+ the table. For deployments with thousands of accounts, this adds latency.
84
+ Mitigated by Lambda reuse (warm starts skip the scan); a cache layer or
85
+ on-demand lookup is a documented follow-up.

+ # ADR-005: wss-only transport in v1 (no raw TCP)
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2025-01-15 (Phase 1)
4
+ **Status:** Superseded by ADR-009 (Phase 7 — TICKET-052)
5
+ **Supersedes:** —
6
+
7
+ ## Context
8
+
9
+ IRC is traditionally spoken over raw TCP (port 6667 plaintext, 6697 TLS).
10
+ WebSocket Secure (wss) is a framing layer over TLS that adds an HTTP upgrade
11
+ handshake. Serverless compute platforms have fundamentally different support
12
+ for these two transports:
13
+
14
+ - **Cloudflare Workers** can accept WebSocket upgrades but **cannot accept raw
15
+ TCP**. Spectrum (Enterprise tier) can terminate TLS and proxy to an origin,
16
+ but Workers itself is request-response.
17
+ - **AWS API Gateway WebSocket API** provides persistent WebSocket connections
18
+ with per-message Lambda invocation. Raw TCP requires a Network Load Balancer
19
+ + Lambda streaming (invoke mode) — a fundamentally different integration.
20
+
21
+ The v1 goal is a clean serverless story: one codebase, two adapters, zero
22
+ stateful origin servers. Raw TCP on either platform requires additional,
23
+ non-serverless infrastructure (a long-running container on CF; NLB + Lambda
24
+ streaming on AWS).
25
+
26
+ Additionally, wss carries one IRC message per WebSocket text frame, which
27
+ simplifies framing: the server does not need to implement a stateful
28
+ byte-stream line buffer. The parser still tolerates `\r\n`-joined frames
29
+ (multiple messages in one text frame) for robustness, but the common case is
30
+ one-message-per-frame.
31
+
32
+ ## Decision
33
+
34
+ v1 ships **wss-only**. No plaintext TCP listener, no `irc://` scheme, no
35
+ port 6667/6697. Clients connect via `wss://server.tld/` and speak IRC inside
36
+ WebSocket text frames.
37
+
38
+ Rationale:
39
+ 1. Both target platforms support wss natively without additional
40
+ infrastructure.
41
+ 2. wss is TLS-terminated at the edge (CF) or at API Gateway (AWS) — the
42
+ Lambda/Worker never sees plaintext credentials.
43
+ 3. One-message-per-frame eliminates the need for a TCP-style line-framing
44
+ buffer in the core (though the parser tolerates joined frames).
45
+ 4. The serverless cost/ops model is clean: no long-running origin, no TCP
46
+ keepalive management.
47
+
48
+ The `ConnectionActor` transport seam accepts WebSocket text frames directly.
49
+ A `Transport` interface is not abstracted in v1 — the actor's
50
+ `receiveTextFrame(text)` is the only entry point.
51
+
52
+ ## Consequences
53
+
54
+ **Positive:**
55
+ - Zero infrastructure beyond the serverless platform. No TCP listener, no
56
+ origin server, no port management.
57
+ - TLS everywhere — no accidental plaintext exposure.
58
+ - Simple framing: WebSocket text frames are message-delimited by definition.
59
+ - Lower operational burden for v1.
60
+
61
+ **Negative:**
62
+ - RFC 1459/2812 clients that only speak raw TCP cannot connect. WeeChat and
63
+ HexChat support WebSocket; some older clients and bots do not.
64
+ - The WebSocket overhead (HTTP upgrade, per-frame masking) adds ~2–10 bytes
65
+ per message vs. raw TCP. Negligible for IRC's small message sizes.
66
+ - Some IRCv3 extensions assume a TCP transport (e.g. SASL EXTERNAL via client
67
+ certs over TLS passthrough). Without raw TCP, mTLS must be done at the edge
68
+ (CF API Shield, API Gateway custom domain), which changes the cert
69
+ verification surface.
70
+
71
+ **Superseded:** Phase 7 (TICKET-052) reverses this decision for v1.x: a
72
+ dual-transport model (wss stays the default; `irc+tls` on :6697 is added via
73
+ Cloudflare Spectrum + Container origin, and AWS NLB + Lambda streaming). This
74
+ ADR documents the original v1 rationale; the superseding ADR covers the
75
+ reversal and per-platform TCP+TLS mapping.

2

3
+ **Date:** 2025-01-20 (Phase 1) · revised 2025-07-27 (TICKET-079)

5
+ **Supersedes:** —
6
+ **Superseded by:** —
7
+
8
+ ## Context
9
+
10
+ IRCv3 SASL (`CAP sasl`) lets a client authenticate during registration,
11
+ before the welcome sequence. The server advertises supported mechanisms in
12
+ the `sasl` cap value (e.g. `sasl=PLAIN,EXTERNAL`). Each mechanism has
13
+ different infrastructure requirements:
14
+
15
+ - **PLAIN:** the client sends `AUTHENTICATE PLAIN`, then a base64 payload of
16
+ `\0username\0password`. The server verifies the credentials against an
17
+ `AccountStore`. No client certificates, no TLS-passthrough — works over
18
+ any transport, including wss with edge-terminated TLS.
19
+ - **EXTERNAL:** the server authenticates the client based on an external
20
+ identity, typically a client certificate verified via mutual TLS (mTLS).
21
+ This requires the TLS handshake to present the client cert to the
22
+ application layer. On serverless platforms with edge-terminated TLS
23
+ (Cloudflare, API Gateway), the application does not see the raw client
24
+ cert — it must be configured at the edge (API Shield mTLS, custom-domain
25
+ mTLS trust store). That infrastructure does not exist in v1 (ADR-005:
26
+ wss-only, no raw TCP; mTLS passthrough is Phase 7, TICKET-054).
27
+
28
+ ## Decision
29
+
30
+ The server ships **SASL PLAIN** as the always-available mechanism and
31
+ **SASL EXTERNAL** as an mTLS-conditional mechanism:
32
+
33
+ - When **no** `MtlsIdentityProvider` is bound to the connection (the default
34
+ for non-mTLS deployments), the `sasl` cap advertises `PLAIN` only and
35
+ `AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL` returns `908 ERR_SASLMECHS` listing `PLAIN` as the
36
+ sole available mechanism.
37
+ - When an `MtlsIdentityProvider` **is** bound (the operator configured mTLS
38
+ at the edge — CF API Shield mTLS or AWS custom-domain mTLS), the `sasl` cap
39
+ advertises `PLAIN,EXTERNAL` and `AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL` proceeds through
40
+ the full handshake: the verified client-cert subject is resolved via the
41
+ provider and verified against the `AccountStore`.
42
+
43
+ This means EXTERNAL advertisement and functionality are driven entirely by
44
+ whether mTLS is configured — operators enable EXTERNAL by configuring edge
45
+ mTLS, with no code change required. The `saslCapValue(hasMtls)` helper in
46
+ `caps/capabilities.ts` and the `supportedMechs(ctx)` helper in
47
+ `commands/sasl.ts` are the single sources of truth for the advertised value.
48
+
49
+ `AccountStore` is a port in `irc-core` consumed by the SASL reducer. The
50
+ `verify(mechanism, payload)` method is **synchronous** — adapters pre-load
51
+ credentials at boot so the reducer stays pure (ADR-001). PLAIN verification
52
+ decodes the base64 payload, extracts username + password, and matches
53
+ against the store. EXTERNAL verification resolves the cert subject via the
54
+ `MtlsIdentityProvider` and matches it against the store.
55
+
56
+ ## Consequences
57
+
58
+ **Positive:**
59
+ - PLAIN works end-to-end with no special infrastructure. The
60
+ `AccountStore` port abstracts the credential store; adapters seed it from
61
+ config (in-memory), DynamoDB (AWS), or a persistent backend (D1/DO for CF,
62
+ TICKET-093).
63
+ - EXTERNAL is fully functional when mTLS is configured (TICKET-054) and
64
+ correctly unadvertised when it is not — clients never waste a round-trip
65
+ on a mechanism that cannot succeed.
66
+ - The mTLS-conditional advertisement is driven by the `MtlsIdentityProvider`
67
+ binding, so operators enable EXTERNAL by configuring edge mTLS with no
68
+ code change.
69
+ - The synchronous `AccountStore.verify()` keeps the reducer pure and
70
+ deterministic. Async credential lookups (DynamoDB) are resolved at cold
71
+ start or via pre-loading, not inside the reducer.
72
+
73
+ **Negative:**
74
+ - Deployments without mTLS (the common case) cannot offer EXTERNAL. This is
75
+ inherent — EXTERNAL requires client-certificate verification at the TLS
76
+ layer, which is only available via edge mTLS configuration.
77
+ - PLAIN sends the password base64-encoded (not encrypted) inside the wss
78
+ frame. wss provides the TLS layer, so the password is encrypted in transit
79
+ — but PLAIN is still weaker than EXTERNAL (no mutual auth).
80
+ - The synchronous `AccountStore` contract means the adapter must pre-load all
81
+ credentials. For deployments with many accounts, cold-start latency grows
82
+ linearly with account count. A lazy/async lookup variant is a documented
83
+ follow-up but would require an async-reducer or effect-based credential
84
+ query — a significant architecture change.

+ # ADR-007: Deterministic ports for time and ID generation
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2025-01-15 (Phase 1)
4
+ **Status:** Accepted
5
+ **Supersedes:** —
6
+ **Superseded by:** —
7
+
8
+ ## Context
9
+
10
+ IRC protocol behaviour is time-sensitive: idle/PING timers, WHOIS signon
11
+ time, `server-time` tags (ISO-8601 timestamps on every message), SASL nonce
12
+ generation, chathistory message IDs. A traditional ircd calls `Date.now()`
13
+ and `crypto.randomUUID()` directly in handlers. This makes tests
14
+ non-deterministic: the same input produces different output on every run,
15
+ depending on when the test executed.
16
+
17
+ Non-determinism is fatal for the parametrized contract suite (TICKET-032),
18
+ which runs identical scenarios across in-memory, CF, and AWS runtimes. If a
19
+ reducer embeds `Date.now()`, the expected `@time=` tag changes every
20
+ millisecond and the assertion cannot be written.
21
+
22
+ ## Decision
23
+
24
+ Time and ID generation are **injected ports**, not global calls:
25
+
26
+ ```ts
27
+ interface Clock {
28
+ now(): number; // epoch milliseconds
29
+ }
30
+
31
+ interface IdFactory {
32
+ nonce(): string; // unique message ID for message-tags/chathistory
33
+ traceId(): string; // per-request trace ID for observability
34
+ }
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ Both are passed through `Ctx` to every reducer. Reducers read `ctx.clock.now()`
38
+ and `ctx.ids.nonce()` — never `Date.now()` or `Math.random()`.
39
+
40
+ Concrete implementations:
41
+ - **`FakeClock`** (tests): returns a fixed value set at construction.
42
+ Deterministic: `new FakeClock(10_000)` always reports `now() === 10_000`.
43
+ - **`SystemClock`** (production): wraps `Date.now()`.
44
+ - **`SequentialIdFactory`** (tests): returns `id-0`, `id-1`, `id-2`, …
45
+ Deterministic: the same sequence of calls produces the same IDs.
46
+ - **`RandomIdFactory`** (production): wraps `crypto.randomUUID()`.
47
+
48
+ ## Consequences
49
+
50
+ **Positive:**
51
+ - Reducer tests are fully deterministic. The same `(state, message, ctx)`
52
+ triple always produces the same `{ state, effects }`. No flaky tests.
53
+ - The contract suite can assert exact wire output including `@time=` tags
54
+ and `msgid=` tags, because the fake clock and ID factory are pinned.
55
+ - Time travel is trivial in tests: advance the `FakeClock` between messages
56
+ to test idle/PING logic, flood-control refill, and chathistory bounds.
57
+ - The reducer purity contract (ADR-001) is enforceable: a reducer that calls
58
+ `Date.now()` is simply not using the injected port, and the test will fail
59
+ because the output is wrong.
60
+
61
+ **Negative:**
62
+ - Every call site that needs time or an ID must thread `ctx` — there is no
63
+ shortcut. This is a small constant cost per reducer.
64
+ - The `Clock` and `IdFactory` must be consistent across the actor's lifetime.
65
+ The actor pins them at construction; switching mid-connection would
66
+ produce inconsistent timestamps. This is enforced by the actor's readonly
67
+ fields.
68
+ - `Date.now()` resolution is milliseconds; sub-millisecond ordering is not
69
+ possible with this port. This has not been a problem for IRC (message
70
+ ordering is preserved by connection/channel authority serialization, not
71
+ by timestamp).

31
+ ## Consequences
32
+
33
+ **Positive:**
34
+ - pnpm workspaces + turbo give fast local dev: only changed packages rebuild;
35
+ tests run incrementally.
36
+ - vitest's ESM-native design avoids the CJS/ESM interop pain that plagues
37
+ Jest-based monorepos. The same test files run under `vitest-pool-workers`
38
+ (real `workerd`) for CF adapter tests.
39
+ - Biome eliminates the ESLint/Prettier config drift problem — one tool, one
40
+ config, one command (`biome check`).
41
+ - TypeScript project references enforce package boundaries at compile time:
42
+ `irc-core` cannot accidentally import from `cf-adapter`.
43
+
44
+ **Negative:**
45
+ - pnpm's strict node-linker can surprise contributors used to npm/yarn's
46
+ hoisting. `node_modules` is per-package; global scripts need
47
+ `pnpm --filter`.
48
+ - turbo's caching requires consistent environment hashing; a CI cache miss
49
+ (e.g. different Node minor version) degrades to a full rebuild silently.
50
+ - Biome is newer than ESLint and lacks some ecosystem plugins. Custom rules
51
+ (e.g. "no ticket IDs in source files") are enforced via convention
52
+ (`AGENTS.md`) rather than a Biome plugin.

+ # ADR-009: Dual transport — wss (default) + irc+tls on :6697
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2026-07-26 (Phase 7)
4
+ **Status:** Accepted
5
+ **Supersedes:** ADR-005 (wss-only transport in v1)
6
+ **Superseded by:** —
7
+
8
+ ## Context
9
+
10
+ ADR-005 chose **wss-only** for v1. That decision rested on four points, all
11
+ still accurate as facts about the serverless substrates:
12
+
13
+ 1. Both target platforms (CF Workers, AWS API Gateway WebSocket) support wss
14
+ natively with zero additional infrastructure; neither can accept raw TCP
15
+ from its request-response compute (Workers is request-response; API Gateway
16
+ is WebSocket-only).
17
+ 2. wss is TLS-terminated at the edge (CF) or at API Gateway (AWS), so the
18
+ Lambda/Worker never sees plaintext credentials.
19
+ 3. One IRC message per WebSocket text frame eliminates the need for a
20
+ stateful byte-stream line buffer in the core (the parser already tolerates
21
+ `\r\n`-joined frames for robustness).
22
+ 4. The serverless cost/ops story stays clean: no long-running origin, no TCP
23
+ keepalive management, one codebase + two adapters.
24
+
25
+ What changed the decision is **demand, not capability**:
26
+
27
+ - **RFC 1459/2812 compliance.** The target modern clients (WeeChat, HexChat,
28
+ IRCCcd, TheLounge) mostly support wss, but there is a long tail of older
29
+ clients, bots, bridges, and monitoring tools that only speak `irc+tls`
30
+ (raw TCP + TLS on :6697). Supporting them was a non-goal for the initial v1
31
+ cut; the gap now matters for the compatibility-sweep deliverable.
32
+ - **SASL EXTERNAL (mTLS).** `AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL` needs the client
33
+ certificate to reach the application layer (ADR-006). With wss and
34
+ edge-terminated TLS, the cert is consumed at the edge and the app only gets
35
+ a verified subject via platform config (CF API Shield mTLS, API Gateway
36
+ custom-domain mTLS — both TICKET-054). A real `irc+tls` path gives a more
37
+ conventional mTLS surface that matches client expectations.
38
+ - **Marginal cost is small.** The core is transport-agnostic by design: pure
39
+ reducers + a `ConnectionActor` that already accepts `\r\n`-joined frames.
40
+ Adding a second transport is a **second per-platform entry-point adapter**,
41
+ not a re-architecture. The generalized TCP byte-stream transport seam is
42
+ TICKET-053; the per-platform adapters are TICKET-055 (CF) and TICKET-056
43
+ (AWS).
44
+
45
+ ## Decision
46
+
47
+ v1.x adopts a **dual-transport** model:
48
+
49
+ - **wss stays the serverless default.** `wss://server.tld/` with one IRC
50
+ message per WebSocket text frame remains the primary path. It needs zero
51
+ extra infrastructure on either platform and keeps the clean serverless
52
+ story for the common case.
53
+ - **`irc+tls` on :6697 is added** as a second, per-platform adapter for
54
+ RFC-compliant clients. TLS is mandatory; **plaintext TCP on :6667 stays
55
+ unsupported.** The entry point differs per platform because neither
56
+ serverless compute can accept raw TCP directly:
57
+
58
+ | Platform | Edge (TLS termination) | Origin / compute |
59
+ |----------|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
60
+ | CF | Cloudflare Spectrum (Enterprise) | Cloudflare Container running TCP byte-stream |
61
+ | | | `ConnectionActor` over a persistent runtime |
62
+ | AWS | Network Load Balancer (`tls` listener) | Lambda **streaming** function (target); |
63
+ | | | connection ID derived from NLB flow metadata |
64
+
65
+ Spectrum terminates TLS at the edge and forwards plaintext TCP to the
66
+ container origin; NLB terminates TLS and invokes a Lambda streaming
67
+ function as target. Both reuse `AwsRuntime`/the CF runtime storage layer
68
+ for connection/channel/nick state.
69
+
70
+ The **pure reducer core and `ConnectionActor` are shared** across both
71
+ transports and both platforms. Only two things differ on the new path:
72
+
73
+ 1. The **transport seam** (TICKET-053): `ConnectionActor` accepts either a
74
+ `WsTextFrameTransport` (one message per frame — current behavior) or a
75
+ `TcpByteStreamTransport` (stateful `\r\n` framing across chunks with
76
+ partial-line buffering). Parser → reducer → dispatch is unchanged.
77
+ 2. The **entry-point adapter** (TICKET-055 / TICKET-056): Spectrum+Container
78
+ on CF, NLB+Lambda streaming on AWS.
79
+
80
+ mTLS (TICKET-054) is done at the edge on the wss path (CF API Shield mTLS /
81
+ API Gateway custom-domain mTLS) and via the TLS handshake on the TCP path
82
+ (Spectrum cert verification / NLB ACM cert + optional client-cert
83
+ verification).
84
+
85
+ ## Consequences
86
+
87
+ **Positive:**
88
+ - RFC 1459/2812-compliant clients, bots, and bridges connect natively without
89
+ a `tcp-ws-forwarder` bridge. This unblocks the compatibility-sweep
90
+ deliverable for the long tail of TCP-only clients.
91
+ - A conventional mTLS surface opens for SASL `EXTERNAL` (TICKET-054): the
92
+ client cert reaches the application via the TLS handshake on the TCP path,
93
+ matching standard IRC client expectations, in addition to the edge-mTLS
94
+ path on wss.
95
+ - Core reuse: the pure reducers, `IrcRuntime` port, and `ConnectionActor`
96
+ are shared verbatim. The transport seam (TICKET-053) is the only new
97
+ abstraction in the core; everything else is per-platform glue.
98
+ - The wss default is untouched — deployments that do not need raw TCP pay no
99
+ infra cost and keep the clean serverless story.
100
+
101
+ **Negative:**
102
+ - **CF breaks the pure-serverless story on the TCP path.** Spectrum is an
103
+ Enterprise-tier feature, and the origin is a stateful Cloudflare Container
104
+ (or external compute), not a Worker. Connection state must survive origin
105
+ reconnects via the runtime's persistence layer — a new operational surface
106
+ that the wss path (Durable Objects) does not have.
107
+ - **AWS NLB + Lambda streaming has hard limits:** Lambda streaming invoke
108
+ idle timeout and maximum connection/duration caps. Long-idle IRC clients
109
+ can be dropped; reconnect/PING behavior must tolerate this (same class of
110
+ risk as the APIGW 2h WS cap, PLAN §10).
111
+ - **Extra per-platform adapter surface.** Two entry-point adapters
112
+ (TICKET-055, TICKET-056) and a new transport contract dimension
113
+ (TICKET-057) are added to the test matrix. Cross-adapter drift is now a
114
+ transport × runtime matrix, mitigated by the parametrized contract suite.
115
+ - **Double deploy/ops paths per platform.** Each platform now ships a wss
116
+ stack and a TCP+TLS stack with different infra (DO vs Container; APIGW vs
117
+ NLB). Deploy docs, cost monitoring, and incident runbooks must cover both
118
+ (TICKET-058).
