- developer directive: pending iteration IDs now ARE the priority order; LANDED iterations keep historical numbers (code comments and commit history cite them — records, not a queue); 8/11 (the half-landed arc), 17 (parked, artifacts on a branch), 18 (next, artifacts named) also frozen - mapping (recorded in 00-story): 19<-20 Float+Bytes, 20<-9c attach, 21<-9d keypair, 22<-9e benchmarks, 23<-9f io_uring WAL, 24<-19 chat, 25<-10 services, 26<-12 blue-green, 27<-9g query corpus, 28<-14 skillhost, 29<-13 metaprogramming - 11 story files renamed; every doc reference re-numbered (word-boundary sweep for the lettered 9x ids, phrase-level for numeric ones); the iterations table rewritten with Seq == priority and "(was N)" notes; story-scoped link check: zero broken - merge-recovery folded in: the partial master merge had dropped the chat story, the fibers exploration note, the arc spec+plan, the framework-v2 plan, and the iteration-17 spec+plan — all restored from their branches and renumbered consistently Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Iteration 24 — chat: the WebSocket pub/sub driving workload

|
||
|
||
## Why this iteration exists
|
||
|
||
Everything the framework ledger parks behind concurrency — WebSockets,
|
||
pub/sub, streaming, per-request cancellation, the keep-alive parking
|
||
retirement — needs a workload that actually exercises long-lived
|
||
connections and cross-shard broadcast, or the arc ships mechanism without
|
||
proof. Chat is the smallest honest such workload: rooms, N concurrent
|
||
clients, fan-out on every message, presence on connect/disconnect — one
|
||
binary, no broker.
|
||
|
||
## Goals
|
||
|
||
- `docs/examples/chat`: rooms + broadcast + presence over WebSocket,
|
||
served by the framework through `[deps]` exactly as the web-app is.
|
||
- Framework grows the WS mechanism in pure `.wo`: the HTTP/1.1 upgrade
|
||
handshake (Sec-WebSocket-Accept needs SHA-1/base64 — the crypto-builtin
|
||
fork's first real consumer), frame parse/serialize (text, close, ping),
|
||
fiber-per-connection serving (iteration 11), and in-memory channels
|
||
whose delivery is cross-shard message send (iteration 8).
|
||
- The arc's acceptance teeth: 1k concurrent clients across shards,
|
||
broadcast latency measured, starvation-free under one hot room,
|
||
SIGTERM drains every connection cleanly.
|
||
|
||
## Acceptance Criteria (draft — the spec after the arc refines)
|
||
|
||
- **Given** two clients in one room on DIFFERENT shards, **when** one
|
||
sends, **then** the other receives the frame (cross-shard ownership-move
|
||
delivery), and a third client in another room receives nothing.
|
||
- **Given** 1k connected clients with one hot sender, **when** the
|
||
reduction budget preempts, **then** every room keeps making progress
|
||
(no starvation) on one OS thread per core, verified by TID.
|
||
- **Given** SIGTERM with clients connected, **when** the server drains,
|
||
**then** every connection gets a close frame, every fiber unwinds its
|
||
drop maps (ASan zero leaks), and the process exits 0.
|
||
- **Given** the web-app running beside chat features, **when** the
|
||
standing gates run, **then** nothing regresses — HTTP and WS share the
|
||
serve loop honestly.
|
||
|
||
## Out Of Scope
|
||
|
||
Message persistence/history (a `@table` an app adds if it wants — not the
|
||
workload's point); auth beyond the existing bearer mechanism; permessage
|
||
compression; binary frames beyond echo coverage; wss (TLS stays at the
|
||
proxy — the proxy story extends to WS pass-through, documented).
|
||
|
||
## Info
|
||
|
||
- Dependencies: the 8+11 arc (fibers + cross-shard send), the crypto
|
||
builtins fork (SHA-1 for the upgrade handshake — note: the ledger's
|
||
crypto slice lists SHA-256/512; the WS handshake specifically needs
|
||
SHA-1, so the builtin set must include it), and the framework's parse
|
||
seam (upgrade is an HTTP request until it isn't).
|
||
- Unparks on landing: the framework ledger's WebSocket/pub-sub rows and
|
||
the iteration-18 rejection note ("pub/sub REJECTED until 8/11").
|
||
|
||
## Proposed Solution
|
||
|
||
Brainstorm → spec → plan after the arc's spec exists; the arc's plan and
|
||
this iteration's are written against each other (the arc names chat as
|
||
its acceptance, chat names the arc as its substrate).
