…sport on AimX The mapping-table design doc 036 A2 gated the protocol unification on (038 §3.9, 034 §3.10 rc10): AimX ↔ ws-protocol frame mapping, the gap decisions (wildcard subscribe via optional Event.topic, Snapshot routing via a new sub field, the explicit subscribed ack, the 6→3 error-code collapse, shared record.query/record.list result shapes), two scope corrections verified against the code (the aimdb-client demux fold was already done in PR #124; query passthrough already existed — only the result shape was missing), and the go/no-go.

…r AimX (design 045)
The two features that justified the ws-protocol fork, added to AimX so
every transport inherits them:
- session::topic_match — the MQTT-style matcher moved in from
aimdb-ws-protocol (same semantics, same tests) plus is_wildcard.
- Subscription streams yield SubUpdate {topic: Option<Arc<str>>, data}
on both engines; Outbound::Event gains an optional topic and
Outbound::Snapshot the routing sub, so a wildcard subscription's
events and late-join snapshots name the record that fired.
Session::snapshot becomes snapshots() — one per covered record.
- AimxDispatch matches wildcard patterns against the registry once at
subscribe time (builder-frozen record set), merges matched streams
under one subscription id, and snapshots each match on open.
- AimxCodec learns the {"t":"subscribed"} ack (servers running
acks_subscribe:true — the WS connector) and gets a dedicated
roundtrip test suite; exact-topic frames are unchanged on the wire.
- ClientConfig::topic_routed_subs removed — it existed solely for the
retired ws wire; all subscriptions are id-routed.
- Shared result vocabulary: remote::QueryRecord {topic, payload, ts},
with_persistence's QueryHandlerFn returning {records, total} (sorted
by ts), and RecordMetadata gaining optional schema_type/entity.
- aimdb-client: AimxConnection::subscribe_with_topics yields
(Option<String>, Value) pairs; wildcard e2e test over the production
UDS server; query-shape test against the persistence registration.

…ign 045)
The wire is now AimX — one tagged frame per WS text message, the same
envelope as UDS/serial/TCP; the delta really was just the envelope
(everything below the codec already rode the shared session engine).
- run_session drives the shared AimxCodec; the 507-line per-connection
WsCodec and its id↔topic maps are deleted, as are the multi-topic
Subscribe split and the protocol re-export shim.
- ClientManager delivers topic-tagged SubUpdates; the per-frame envelope
is applied by each connection's codec (payload bytes stay Arc-shared).
The pre-serialized Data frame, its server-side ts, and with_raw_payload
are gone.
- WsDispatch converges on the AimX vocabulary: record.query via a
plugged-in QueryHandler (now returning core QueryRecord rows) or the
Extensions QueryHandlerFn from with_persistence; record.list answers
{name, schema_type, entity} rows (TopicInfo now lives here).
Errors collapse to the 3-code set; auth stays at the HTTP 401.
- SnapshotProvider::snapshots(pattern) returns every cached value under
the pattern, so wildcard subscriptions late-join each covered record.
- Auto-subscribe seeds AimX sub frames with ids counting down from
u64::MAX (cannot collide with client-chosen ids; design 045 §3.6).
- ws-client builder rides AimxCodec (topic_routed_subs gone); e2e tests
rewritten to drive raw AimX frames, including golden wire frames and
ws↔AimX parity for ack/wildcard/snapshot/query/list.

…c (design 045)
The browser is now a first-class engine client: a web_sys::WebSocket-
backed Connection/Dialer pair (JS events funneled into the engine's
async recv; single-threaded wasm Send shims, same pattern and compile
guard as SendFuture) drives run_client + AimxCodec, so reply and
subscription correlation, reconnect backoff, keepalive, and the offline
queue exist exactly once — in core. The hand-rolled 835-line demux is
gone.
The #[wasm_bindgen] surface is preserved (write, query, listTopics,
onStatusChange, status, disconnect, connectBridge options; lateJoin is
retained for option-shape compatibility — snapshots are server-driven
under AimX). Subscription pumps mirror topic-tagged updates into local
records and re-subscribe when a stream ends; the queued subscribe
replays after the engine redials. WasmDb.discover speaks a one-shot
record.list request and resolves {name, schema_type, entity} rows.
Depends on aimdb-core's connector-session + remote features (the
engines cross-compile to wasm32); the aimdb-ws-protocol dep is gone.

…idue (design 045) With no consumers left, the fork is gone: - aimdb-ws-protocol crate deleted (353 lines) and de-registered from the workspace members, Makefile build/test/clippy/doc targets, and the publish sequence (17 → 16 crates). - aimdb-client: dead NDJSON helpers retired with the hand-rolled client in PR #124 are deleted (RequestExt/ResponseExt/serialize_message/ parse_message/EventMessage/cli_hello — grep-confirmed zero consumers); the protocol re-export keeps RecordMetadata/WelcomeMessage/Request/ Response/Event. - design 038 §2.5/§3.9 annotated as resolved by 045; root and per-crate CHANGELOGs describe the breaking release.

- Updated comments in `Cargo.toml` files to clarify transport features. - Revised comments in `engine.rs`, `aimx_session.rs`, and various other files to remove design references and improve clarity. - Removed outdated design references in `protocol.rs`, `query.rs`, and `codec.rs`. - Enhanced clarity in `dispatch.rs`, `builder_ext.rs`, and `http.rs` by simplifying comments. - Adjusted test descriptions in `query_handler_shape.rs` and `e2e.rs` for better understanding. - Cleaned up `ws_bridge.rs`, `registry.rs`, and `session.rs` to focus on current functionality without legacy design notes. - Updated `CHANGELOG.md` to reflect changes in `record.list` response structure and removed references to obsolete types. - Improved overall consistency and readability of comments throughout the codebase.
Reconcile main's direct-JSON-byte remote path (#192/#203) with design-048's SubUpdate.skipped loss-signal design: - Subscribe path keeps design-048's SubUpdate/skipped contract (the merged Session::subscribe trait yields BoxStream<SubUpdate>); stream.rs stays on the (Value, u64) design. - dispatch.rs combines both: SubUpdate subscribe + wildcard fan-in + WI1 hello() version gate, plus main's DispatchReply / record.get fast path. Restored the futures_util::StreamExt import main had dropped. - aimdb-bench/Cargo.toml unions both bench sets (fanout_encode + remote_json); remote_json.rs updated for Outbound::Event's new `topic` field. main's direct-JSON-bytes optimization in the live subscribe path is superseded here and left as the documented follow-up (design 048, "removing the intermediate serde_json::Value"). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The subscribe path never inspects a record update between reading it and encoding it onto the wire, yet it parsed the buffer's JSON bytes into a `serde_json::Value` (`recv_json`) only to re-serialize the tree back to bytes (`to_payload`) at the dispatch boundary — a pure parse+re-serialize round-trip per update. This is the direct-JSON-bytes follow-up design 048 flagged. `stream_record_updates` now reads owned JSON bytes via `recv_json_bytes` and yields `(Payload, u64)`; the two `stream.map` sites in the AimX dispatch build `SubUpdate` directly from those bytes. The design-048 `skipped` loss signal is untouched — it still rides each `SubUpdate`. No wire or public API change. Verified with the `remote_json` subscription-event benchmark (Tree vs Direct): the direct-bytes path sustains ~2× the throughput of the former tree path, matching the 2.06–2.49× encode figure in design 048.

aimdb-ws-protocol— every transport speaks AimXDeletes the WebSocket-only wire protocol and converges the entire workspace on
the AimX-v3 envelope (
aimdb-core::session::aimx). One codec, one errormapping, one client demux — the WebSocket stack and the browser bridge now ride
the same session engine as UDS/serial/TCP and
aimdb-client.Implements design 047 (
docs/design/047-retire-ws-protocol-converge-on-aimx.md).Why
The workspace shipped two wire protocols for one feature. Every capability —
snapshots, acks, writes, queries, subscribe — existed twice, with two codecs and
two error vocabularies, plus a hand-rolled ~835-line browser demux duplicating
run_client. Both protocols already rode the same session engine, so the forkwas pure duplication.
Convergence removes a 353-line protocol crate, a 507-line codec, two error
mappings, and the browser demux, against a small additive AimX extension
(wildcard subscribe + two result-shape changes) that every transport now
inherits (CLI
watch 'temp.#', MCP wildcard reads, future serial/TCP browsers).What changed
Core (additive AimX extension)
#/*matches the (builder-frozen) record set once at subscribe time, merges the
matched records' update streams under one subscription id, and emits one
snapshot per matched record on open.
topic_matchmodule — MQTT-style matching over dot-separated keys, sharedby the core wildcard path and the WS fan-out bus.
SubUpdateitem type — subscription streams now carry{ topic: Option<Arc<str>>, data, skipped }so each event names the concreterecord that fired and threads buffer-lag counts through for drop detection.

Breaking changes
2.0 → 3.0— pre-3.x clients are refused athello. Browserclients on the old ws-protocol wire must ship the rebuilt bridge; they fail
closed against a 3.0 server.
with_raw_payload,ClientConfig::topic_routed_subs.record.queryresult shape changed from{values:[{record,value,stored_at}], count}to{records:[{topic,payload,ts}],total}.Lands as one branch in a release already flagged protocol-breaking, one commit
per work item (no stacked PRs).
Testing

topic_matchtests,topic_leafdual-separator, version-compatibility matrix,
query_handler_shape,UDS
handshake_version, rewritten WebSockete2e.rs(subscribe ack, wildcardfan-out, late-join), and fan-out encode benchmarks.
Known limitations (accepted)
server-chosen sub ids (counted down from
u64::MAX); arun_client-basedconsumer drops events for ids it never issued, so engine clients (including the
new bridge) subscribe explicitly. No user-visible change (the pro hub already
subscribes by exact name).
time against the builder-frozen record set; MQTT-style late registration is
deferred until core grows runtime registration.
