refactor(ws): adopt the topic registry in the daemon (spec 76 wave 3.2b)

[hyperb1iss]

🔮 What this is

The daemon now speaks WebSocket subscriptions through the topic registry that landed in #193, instead of through its own hand-maintained channel enum. Adding a topic used to mean editing eight places that all had to agree: a WsChannel variant, the SUPPORTED array, as_str, parse, a bitset bit, a config struct and a patch struct, an arm in the patch match chain, an arm in the acknowledgment projection, a relay spawn, and an entry in the relay abort array. It is now one define_ws_topics! entry plus one relay registration.

The wire does not move for anything a client actually sends. Every message shape, every subscribe and acknowledgment form, every binary tag, and every error string on the paths clients exercise is what it was. The golden fixtures, the end-to-end protocol suite, and the daemon's own WebSocket tests are the fence, and they pass without a fixture, a tag, or a message shape being touched. Three malformed-input paths do answer differently, all of them consequences of the constraints this wave was given, and one rejection that used to strand a connection's transport no longer does; they are spelled out below. Clients are untouched. Keying display_preview and interactive_preview, collapsing interval_ms into a single cadence type, and updating the four clients are wave 3.2c's job.

⚡ What moved where

hypercolor-leptos-ext owns the wire facts. The real fourteen-topic topology is declared in crates/hypercolor-leptos-ext/src/ws/registry.rs behind ws-core, with the daemon's actual config and patch types promoted alongside it: FramesConfig, SpectrumConfig, CanvasConfig, MetricsConfig, DisplayPreviewConfig and their patches, plus FrameFormat and CanvasFormat. Each entry carries its wire name, key shape, config, patch, owned binary tags, and control-tier gate.

Every promoted config and patch carries #[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]. That is contractual rather than stylistic: stored config JSON round-trips through its own type on every patch, so a stale or typo'd config field has to fail loudly instead of vanishing in the round trip, and a typo'd patch field must not deserialize as an empty patch and then "succeed" as a no-op.

Validation split along the same seam. Cadence ranges, the declared spectrum bin counts, non-empty zone selections, and the display target's tri-state are wire facts and moved into the patch implementations. Surface-budget admission stayed in the daemon, because whether a 32768x4097 preview fits is a question about this machine's publication budget, not about the protocol.

Tag ownership is now checked by the compiler. Eleven tags have exactly one owner: 0x01 frames, 0x02 spectrum, 0x03 canvas, 0x05 screen canvas, 0x06 web viewport canvas, 0x07 display preview, 0x08/0x0c zone preview, 0x09/0x0e/0x11 screen zones. Five belong to no single topic and are declared as SHARED_TRANSPORT_TAGS with their own compile-time disjointness assertion: 0x0b is the wide form of the passive preview frame that four topics publish, 0x0f and 0x10 are the chunk and cancellation envelopes every preview stream rides, and 0x0a/0x0d belong to interactive preview, which is a keyed session protocol rather than a subscribable topic. Together the two assertions cover the whole sixteen-byte space, and 0x04 stays deliberately unassigned.

The daemon keeps the runtime facts. crates/hypercolor-daemon/src/api/ws/topics.rs is a new table keyed by TopicId holding what leptos-ext must not learn: which relay task feeds a topic, and what surface budget a candidate config has to fit. WsChannel, the u16 ChannelSet, and the nine-field ChannelConfig with its per-channel match chain are gone.

💎 The properties this wave had to preserve

One membership authority. SubscriptionState pairs a TopicSet with a SubscriptionTable, and the two move together through exactly two paths: admit takes a topic into the set and gives it a live config in the same step, retire removes it and parks that config in the same step. Nothing else writes either half.

Config that outlives its subscription lives in a separate dormant cache, keyed identically. That split is what lets the live table keep meaning "subscribed": any_for and entries_for describe live subscriptions and nothing else, which is what their own contract promises and what keyed subscriptions will depend on. Reads deliberately span both halves, because the engine reads across subscriptions — a screen_zones-only client borrows the screen_canvas cadence. A test walks the invariant across subscribe, patch-without-subscribe, unsubscribe, and resubscribe, so a future path that writes one half without the other fails rather than drifting.

The acknowledgment walks entries_for. The subscribe ack echoes config per live configured subscription through SubscriptionTable::entries_for, which is the keyed walk the registry added for exactly this. It reads one entry per topic today and N per topic the moment keys arrive.

Subscribe is request-wide atomic. Subscribe doubles as the config patch verb on this wire, so the whole request is one transaction: every selector is validated through its topic's key type and stored under the canonical key that validation returns, every stanza applies to a candidate in declaration order, the daemon's surface admission runs immediately after each stanza lands, and the runtime demand projection runs against the finished candidate. Any failure returns the error with the live state untouched. A request that sets a valid canvas cadence and an over-budget zone preview shape in the same message changes neither.

Transport negotiation is staged. Working out the capability both ends would settle on no longer adopts it, so a subscribe that goes on to fail its demand projection leaves the connection speaking exactly the transport it spoke before. Adoption happens first in the commit phase, where its only remaining refusal — a transport already carrying publications — is checked and applied under one lock and so changes nothing when it refuses. Input demand leases split the same way, into a projection that can refuse and a commit that cannot.

Relays register per task, not per topic. The registry describes topics; it does not imply a relay each. The event relay serves events, frame_events, and input_events from one bus subscription and routes by event kind, and zone_preview fans out to every live scene zone inside its own relay. The daemon's table records which topics a task serves, and a test fences that every topic has exactly one relay while twelve relays serve fourteen topics.

Configless topics answer once. A stanza with fields fails while deserializing the patch, an explicit null deserializes and then fails on apply, and both are the same client mistake, so both produce one invalid_config response naming the topic.

🧪 Behavior deltas worth knowing

Three malformed-input paths answer differently than they did, and a fourth is held where it was on purpose. No in-repo client sends any of them, and none changes a message shape:

• A patch field with the wrong type ({"frames": {"fps": "abc"}}) used to fail while parsing the client message and come back as invalid_request. It now fails inside the topic's own patch deserialization and comes back as invalid_config.
• A typo'd or unknown patch field ({"frames": {"fpz": 30}}) used to be silently dropped. deny_unknown_fields rejects it now, which is the whole point of the attribute.
• A config stanza for a topic that takes no config ({"sensors": {...}}) used to be silently dropped, because the typed container had no field for it. It is now an invalid_config naming the topic.
• A config object naming the same channel twice is still refused, and now says so in its own words. Moving off the derived container would have made {"metrics": {...}, "metrics": {...}} last-wins, because a plain serde_json::Map keeps the last occurrence; a custom map visitor refuses the repeated key instead, and the rejection surfaces through the message parse as invalid_request exactly as the old duplicate field error did. Two stanzas for one channel means the client does not agree with itself about which config wins, and resolving that silently would hide it from the only party who can fix it.

A null stanza on a topic that does take config ({"canvas": null}) still means "no patch", exactly as the old Option<Patch> container made it mean.

One asymmetry is deliberate and worth naming: duplicate keys inside a single stanza ({"metrics": {"interval_ms": 1, "interval_ms": 2}}) are last-wins. Stanzas reach the topic vtable as serde_json::Value, which resolves duplicates during its own parse, so that behavior belongs to the JSON-erased dispatch rather than to any choice here.

One more client-visible change is not about malformed input at all: it is what constraint 4 asked for. A subscribe that carried preview_transport and then failed its demand projection used to leave the connection speaking the newly negotiated transport, because negotiation had already committed. It now leaves the transport exactly as it was, which is observable both in the binary preview framing and in the preview_transport the next successful acknowledgment echoes.

Error precedence shifts in one mixed case that follows from the third delta: a request combining a configless stanza with an invalid configurable one ({"screen_zones": {...}, "zone_preview": {"fps": 0}}) now reports config.screen_zones rather than config.zone_preview.fps, because configless stanzas are no longer skipped and screen_zones comes first in declaration order.

docs/content/api/websocket.md ships with this change: it now documents the three refused stanza shapes, and its error example no longer advertises an unsupported_channel code the daemon cannot emit.

The unsupported_channel error constructor is deleted. It was already unreachable: parse_channels rejected any name outside the registry before the supported check could fire, and every declared channel was in SUPPORTED.

🦋 What 3.2c inherits

Two seams are deliberately left where keying will land, and both are inert while every topic is unkeyed:

• The acknowledgment projection writes each topic's config to map[topic_name], so it holds one entry per topic. Once a topic carries keys, the projection has to nest under the key, and apply_patch has to take the selector's key instead of the None it hardcodes today. unkeyed_topics_reject_a_wire_key proves neither path is reachable now. The dormant cache is keyed the same way as the live table, so both halves take that change together.
• The shared-transport-tag assertion enumerates the eight tag-owning topics by name, unlike the macro's own assertion, which covers every topic automatically. A future topic claiming 0x0b would compile and then fail owned_and_shared_tags_cover_the_whole_binary_space at test time. Folding a reserved [...] clause into define_ws_topics! would move that back to compile time.

Transport negotiation now takes the sender lock twice, once to project and once to commit, where it used to take it once. Nothing awaits between them, so the window is a few hundred instructions, and it only opens for a client that sends preview_transport while preview publications are already in flight; in that window the "transport already active" guard can pass at projection and refuse at commit. The refusal is clean (it changes nothing), so the cost is a rejected subscribe rather than a torn state.

One test lost reach: the demand-lease suite used to drive a zero screen-capture cadence by mutating the config struct directly, which reached the lease projection's own non-zero guard. That cadence is now refused a layer earlier, at the patch, so the test asserts the refusal and the untouched lease instead, and the projection's guard is defensive rather than reachable from the wire.

🎯 Verification

• cargo clippy -p hypercolor-leptos-ext --features ws-core --all-targets and cargo clippy -p hypercolor-daemon --all-targets: clean at pedantic, warnings denied.
• cargo test -p hypercolor-leptos-ext --features ws-core and --features ws-core,axum: green, including 21 new registry contract tests.
• cargo check -p hypercolor-leptos-ext --features ws-core --target wasm32-unknown-unknown: clean, so the browser build still carries the registry.
• ws_golden_tests 8 passed and ws_protocol_tests 8 passed, both files unmodified, run inside the full workspace suite.
• just verify: fmt-check, lint, and the whole workspace test suite green; the allocation-contract stage hit the known turbojpeg-sys /opt build flake once and passed on rerun with 9 suites green.

Two adversarial reviewers went at this independently, both tasked with refuting wire stability and each of the seven constraints, and both returned pass on all of them. Between them the old and new implementations were compared string by string on the capability list, the acknowledgment config projection, every error code / message / details, and the stanza evaluation order; every in-repo subscribe call site was audited; and the twelve relay spawns were checked one at a time against the hand-written block they replace, down to spawn order and argument order. One of them extracted every string literal from the three rewritten files and diffed the sets: relays.rs has zero differences against main, and session.rs has exactly one addition, a debug_assert message.

The duplicate-stanza regression was theirs to catch — I had claimed three deltas and missed it. It is fixed rather than documented: a repeated channel key is refused, pinned by a test carrying the exact payload that exposed it. The docs update and the two notes on negotiation locking also come from their findings.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 32f08

The refactor preserves the existing WebSocket wire contract, but an unsubscribe can still allow a frame to arrive after the unsubscription acknowledgment due to state publication ordering. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk that should have explicit owner awareness or a follow-up fix.

config_of panics if the caller names a type that does not match the topic.

config_of deserializes the stored JSON with expect(...). The stored JSON is produced by the topic's own vtable, so correctness depends on each caller pairing the TopicId with that topic's config type. A mismatch, for example config_of::<SpectrumConfig>(TopicId::Canvas), panics inside a relay task or in the subscribe path instead of returning an error.

Consider making the registry expose the config type per topic so the pairing cannot be written incorrectly. If that is out of scope for this PR, document the pairing requirement on config_of explicitly.

Field mapping relies on two magic field names.

config_patch_error special-cases "config" and "patch" to mean a whole-value rejection. That coupling lives in the daemon while the values are produced by PatchError in the registry crate. Consider expressing "whole value" as a dedicated variant or Option<&str> field on PatchError, so a renamed sentinel cannot silently produce a field path like config.frames.patch.

Publish the new subscription state before you cancel the unsubscribed topics.

cancel_topic runs while the relays still observe the previous snapshot, because publish_subscriptions happens later at Line 1314. A relay that wakes in that window can publish a new frame for a topic the client just unsubscribed, so the cancellation is undone and the client receives a frame after its unsubscribed acknowledgment. Publishing the state first stops the producers, then the cancellation clears whatever is already queued.

Correct the unowned-tag count in the module documentation.

Line 18 states that three tags are unowned and listed in SHARED_TRANSPORT_TAGS. The constant on line 425 holds five bytes: 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0d, 0x0f, and 0x10. The following sentence adds the two interactive-preview tags to the same list, so the leading count contradicts it. A client that reserves only three bytes will misread the wire contract.

Document two client-visible behaviors this section now leaves out.

The implementation accepts a stanza for a channel that the request does not subscribe to, stores it, and reinstates it on a later subscribe to that channel (see crates/hypercolor-daemon/src/api/ws/protocol.rs lines 227-256). Unsubscribing also keeps the channel config for a later resubscribe instead of returning to defaults. A stanza naming an unknown channel is ignored rather than refused. Clients cannot infer any of this from the current text.

📝 Suggested addition

 configurable channel means "leave this channel alone".
+
+A stanza for a channel you do not name in `channels` is accepted and remembered:
+it is not echoed in the `subscribed` acknowledgment, and it applies when you
+later subscribe to that channel. Unsubscribing keeps the channel config as well,
+so a resubscribe restores your own settings rather than the defaults. A stanza
+for a channel name the daemon does not know is ignored.

	## Channel configuration
	Each configurable channel carries parameters that control throughput and format.
	Send them in the `config` field of a `subscribe` message. Out-of-range values
	are rejected with an `invalid_config` error and the channel is left unchanged.
	Send them in the `config` field of a `subscribe` message. A rejected stanza
	fails the whole request with an `invalid_config` error, and every channel named
	in it is left exactly as it was.
	Each stanza is validated by the channel that owns it, so four shapes are
	refused rather than ignored: a value outside the documented range, a field the
	channel does not define, a stanza sent for a channel that takes no config
	(`events`, `frame_events`, `screen_zones`, `sensors`, `input_events`), and the
	same channel named twice in one `config` object. A `null` stanza on a
	configurable channel means "leave this channel alone".
