+# ADR 0007: caller-owned .NET publisher and browser SDK
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #9
+
+## Decision
+
+The .NET client package exposes separate publisher and browser interfaces plus
+concrete clients over a caller-supplied `HttpClient`. The caller owns that client,
+its handler, base address, connection pool, proxy, and lifetime. SDK operations
+dispose every request, response, and response body they create, but never dispose
+the supplied client. The package targets `netstandard2.1`, depends only on the
+wire-contract package and LiteNetLib, and contains no Godot types, global client,
+service URL, publisher secret, or embedded game credential.
+
+Every operation returns `RendezvousClientResult<T>` with a stable error code,
+message, and optional retry guidance. Cancellation remains exceptional through
+the caller's `CancellationToken`; transport failures become `ServiceUnavailable`.
+Response bodies are streamed under the contract's 256 KiB browser ceiling before
+deserialization. Invalid or oversized success bodies become `InternalError` and
+never escape as partially trusted contract objects.
+
+The SDK retries only operations whose duplicate execution is safe: scoped reads,
+idempotency-keyed registration, lease renewal with the same lease token, complete
+resource update, and lease-token deregistration. It honors bounded server retry
+guidance and otherwise uses capped exponential backoff with jitter. Each retry
+creates a fresh HTTP request while preserving the caller's registration
+idempotency key. Configuration is copied on construction so later option mutation
+cannot change an in-flight client's behavior.
+
+`PublishedSession` holds the server-issued lease and presence capabilities needed
+by the host. Its string representation always redacts them. Update requests are
+copied before the lease token is attached, so the SDK never mutates caller-owned
+DTOs. The browser exposes one-page calls and bounded cursor traversal; cursor
+values remain opaque and caller requests remain unchanged.
+
+Lease maintenance is explicit. Creating a `SessionLeaseMaintainer` starts no task;
+the game chooses when to call `RunAsync`, owns cancellation, and awaits
+`DisposeAsync`. The loop uses the latest server-provided renewal interval and
+returns a distinct cancelled, disposed, lost-lease, or failed result. Terminal
+authorization, expiry, and missing-lease responses also raise `LeaseLost` so the
+host can stop advertising or re-register deliberately.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- SpaceGame and Unscouted can inject the publisher/browser interfaces in tests
+  without an engine runtime or real network.
+- Games must configure an absolute `HttpClient.BaseAddress` (or equivalent
+  handler routing), obtain publisher credentials from their deployment boundary,
+  and explicitly run and dispose lease maintenance.
+- The versioned client public-API snapshot and live-server integration tests fail
+  together when SDK and HTTP contracts drift.

+# ADR 0008: scoped join attempts and one-time connection tickets
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #10
+
+## Decision
+
+Join creation is an unauthenticated public operation because v1 does not treat a
+Rendezvous caller as game identity. The HTTP source address is normalized and
+converted to a process-keyed opaque subject for idempotency and bounded policy
+accounting; raw addresses and the derived subject are never returned or logged.
+A successful request means only that this network client may try to connect to
+this active session. It does not reserve capacity or grant gameplay admission.
+
+Creation validates the v1 contract, caller idempotency key, enabled tenant policy,
+exact gameplay protocol, listing scope, live lease, and fresh authenticated host
+presence in one atomic store operation. A listing advertised as full remains
+joinable because its player count is advisory and the game host owns the final
+capacity, identity, ban, and admission decision.
+
+Each attempt derives independent host-punch, client-punch, and connection-ticket
+credentials plus opaque attempt and mediation IDs from a process-ephemeral HMAC
+key, the client subject, the complete canonical request fingerprint, a fresh salt,
+and a purpose/role label. Credentials are 32-byte base64url values (43 characters),
+below both the 192-character Rendezvous capability ceiling and LiteNetLib's
+256-character NAT token ceiling. The connection ticket uses half of that payload
+for its attempt ID and half for an independently derived 128-bit authenticator, so
+the SDK can correlate concurrent introductions without increasing UDP response
+size. State retains keyed credential fingerprints, derivation inputs, and salt—not
+issued plaintext. All diagnostic string representations redact credentials and
+derivation material.
+
+The client receives only its punch capability. A host polls its own listing with
+the lease token in `X-Rendezvous-Lease-Token` and receives only host-role
+capabilities through a signed, listing-bound, five-minute cursor. Replaying an
+identical join request returns the same live attempt; changing the request under
+the same owner/key conflicts. A client may cancel with its punch capability in
+`X-Rendezvous-Client-Punch-Capability`; cancellation atomically marks the attempt
+and retains a bounded tombstone until its original expiry. Host polling returns
+that tombstone so a coordinator can revoke any local ticket authorization, while
+endpoint binding, introduction, ticket issuance, and ticket consumption all
+reject the cancelled attempt. Listing deletion, expiry, revocation, or process
+restart removes every associated attempt and credential fingerprint.
+
+Endpoint binding remains role- and capability-specific. The first endpoint
+observed for a role wins atomically; an exact UDP duplicate is idempotent, while
+endpoint or role substitution is rejected. An introduction is consumable once
+only after both roles bind, so concurrent attempts for the same listing cannot
+cross-wire.
+
+The connection ticket is distinct from both punch capabilities and is reproduced
+only after introduction succeeds. Its window begins at that moment and lasts at
+most 20 seconds without outliving the 30-second attempt. The server has an atomic
+fingerprint-consumption seam for mediator tests and revocation. On the game host,
+the SDK's bounded `ConnectionTicketValidator` stores a process-keyed digest,
+accepts an exact ticket once under a lock, rejects altered/cross-attempt/expired/
+revoked/replayed tickets, and zeroes retained digests and key material on disposal.
+Issue #11 carries the fixed-size ticket in the authenticated introduction. Issue
+#12 extracts its embedded attempt ID, bounds the host's local authorization window
+by both the host-polled attempt expiry and the configured ticket lifetime, then
+wires one-time consumption into the caller-owned coordinator. Both peers receive
+a digest of the exact expected ticket over HTTP and reject any syntactically valid
+but unauthenticated introduction token. Embedding the ID prevents concurrent or
+late introductions from cross-binding a valid ticket while preserving the
+mediator's 2.0 response-byte amplification ceiling.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A join attempt is transport authorization, never proof of player identity or a
+  game slot.
+- Network-address-derived subjects are process-local abuse/idempotency scopes,
+  not stable user identifiers; stronger authenticated player scopes require a
+  future game-owned identity contract.
+- Cancellation after a ticket has reached a host must also revoke that host's
+  local validator entry; coordinator wiring owns that race in issue #12.
+- Capability and ticket plaintext never enter browser results, state snapshots,
+  logs, metrics, or generated string representations.

+# ADR 0009: authenticated bounded LiteNetLib NAT mediator
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #11
+
+## Decision
+
+The server owns one LiteNetLib `NetManager` and its `NatPunchModule` on the
+configured UDP endpoint. It runs in manual mode with a configured maximum number
+of datagrams per poll and a short caller-owned poll interval. LiteNetLib events
+are unsynchronized so authenticated requests are processed immediately on that
+single polling path rather than accumulated in an unbounded event queue. The
+mediator never accepts a LiteNetLib gameplay connection or handles application
+payloads.
+
+The packet layer also consumes the frozen v1 presence envelope on the same
+socket. Native NAT requests use a canonical fixed-size 192-character token that
+binds a role (`HostPresence`, attempt `Host`, or attempt `Client`), mediation
+handle, and the already-issued capability. Both transports enter one processor
+and the same atomic store operations. No transport-supplied public address is
+trusted; the socket source is authoritative.
+
+LiteNetLib's native NAT packet family also contains introduction-response and
+punch frames that are appropriate for peers but unsafe on a public mediator: a
+forged response can name arbitrary destinations. The packet layer therefore
+decodes only the pinned `NatIntroduceRequest` wire shape and consumes every
+inbound packet before `NatPunchModule` sees it. The module is outbound-only and
+may send introductions solely from a completed authorized plan.
+
+Listing presence refreshes authorize no response. Attempt contributions bind the
+first observed endpoint for exactly one capability role. Exact duplicates are
+idempotent; a different endpoint, the opposite role, an expired/cancelled
+attempt, or a stale listing presence cannot replace it. The introduction is
+consumed atomically only after both roles bind and their observed address
+families match, preventing concurrent attempts for one listing from cross-wiring.
+
+A reported local candidate is eligible only when it is RFC 1918 IPv4 or IPv6
+unique-local unicast, matches the observed family, and both peers have the same
+observed public address. Otherwise `NatIntroduce` receives the observed public
+endpoint in the local slot. Loopback, link-local, multicast, unspecified,
+documentation IPv6, global-address claims, and cross-family claims are never
+disclosed as local targets. IPv4 is required; observed global IPv6 can be used
+when both peers contribute IPv6, without claiming guaranteed IPv6 NAT traversal.
+
+The introduction carries only the distinct connection ticket and is emitted at
+most once to each verified observed endpoint. The fixed authenticated native
+request and bounded frozen envelope keep the combined response bytes within the
+2.0 verified amplification budget; unauthenticated inputs receive zero bytes.
+Malformed, truncated, oversized, spoofed, or unrelated LiteNetLib packets do not
+grow Rendezvous state. Raw endpoints and credentials are never logged or exposed
+through diagnostic string representations.
+
+Frozen IPv6 listing-presence refresh remains valid because it emits no response.
+IPv6 attempt roles require the fixed-size native LiteNetLib request; accepting the
+short frozen envelope would exceed the 2.0 byte budget for two IPv6 introduction
+frames. The required IPv4 listen address and optional IPv6 listen address are
+configured separately so enabling one family never widens the other family to a
+wildcard bind.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Hosts refresh listing presence and answer invitations from their actual
+  gameplay socket; a separate mediator socket would observe the wrong mapping.
+- Caller-owned SDK coordination in #12 must poll the host invitation endpoint,
+  send the corresponding native role token, and consume the returned ticket.
+- UDP loss can prevent traversal, but it cannot cause an arbitrary destination,
+  replay, role substitution, or cross-attempt introduction.

+attempt, or `c` for its client side. Padding is canonical and leaves the token
+below LiteNetLib's 256-character ceiling. Its fixed size also ensures that the
+two authenticated introduction responses remain within the 2.0 response-byte
+budget. Tokens with a wrong length, role, handle, capability, or padding receive
+no response.
+
+The mediator runs LiteNetLib in bounded manual-poll mode. Its packet layer admits
+only the pinned native `NatIntroduceRequest` frame, consumes every inbound frame
+before LiteNetLib can act on it, and uses `NatPunchModule` only to emit authorized
+introductions. Native and frozen v1 inputs reach the same atomic role/capability
+checks. Only the packet source is
+used as the public endpoint. A claimed private candidate is retained only when
+it is private unicast, matches the observed address family, and both authorized
+peers were observed behind the same public address; otherwise the observed
+public endpoint is substituted. IPv4 punching is required. IPv6 sources must be
+observed global unicast and both roles must use IPv6; IPv6 NAT traversal remains
+best-effort rather than a v1 release requirement.
+
+The second valid contribution atomically consumes the introduction and starts
+the connection-ticket lifetime. `NatIntroduce` is called once with the distinct
+43-character connection ticket. Reordered and exact duplicate requests are
+idempotent. Endpoint substitution, cross-role use, stale host presence, expired
+or cancelled attempts, malformed packets, and gameplay payloads produce no
+introduction and create no mediator queue or endpoint state.
+
+Frozen envelopes may refresh listing presence over IPv6 because that operation
+has no response. IPv6 attempt contributions must use the fixed-size native token;
+the shorter frozen IPv6 envelope cannot fund two IPv6 introduction frames within
+the 2.0 response-byte ceiling and is therefore dropped without response.

+# FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client
+
+Godot-independent .NET publisher, browser, join, and LiteNetLib traversal SDK for Rendezvous v1.
+The package targets `netstandard2.1` and uses a caller-owned `HttpClient`.
+
+```csharp
+using FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client;
+using FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Contracts;
+
+using HttpClient http = new()
+{
+    BaseAddress = new Uri("https://rendezvous.example/"),
+};
+
+string publisherCredential = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(
+    "RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL")
+    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Publisher credential is not configured.");
+CancellationToken cancellationToken = default;
+RendezvousPublisherClient publisher = new(http);
+RendezvousClientResult<PublishedSession> registered = await publisher.RegisterAsync(
+    new RegisterSessionRequest
+    {
+        IdempotencyKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"),
+        GameId = new("space-game"),
+        EnvironmentId = new("production"),
+        RegionId = new("eu-central"),
+        ProtocolVersion = 7,
+        BuildVersion = "1.0.0",
+        DisplayName = "My server",
+        Visibility = ListingVisibility.Public,
+        Capacity = new() { CurrentPlayers = 1, MaximumPlayers = 8 },
+    },
+    publisherCredential,
+    cancellationToken);
+if (!registered.IsSuccess || registered.Value is null)
+{
+    throw new InvalidOperationException(
+        $"Registration failed: {registered.Error} ({registered.Message})");
+}
+```
+
+Load `publisherCredential` from the game's deployment secret boundary; never
+embed it in a client build or source control. A successful registration returns a
+`PublishedSession` containing the lease and host-presence capabilities.
+Send a periodic presence request from the host's gameplay `NetManager` using the
+server-controlled refresh interval and the fixed-size native token:
+
+```csharp
+string presenceToken = NatPunchRequestTokenCodec.Encode(
+    NatPunchPeerRole.HostPresence,
+    session.HostPresenceHandle,
+    session.HostPresenceCapability);
+gameplayNetManager.NatPunchModule.SendNatIntroduceRequest(mediator, presenceToken);
+```
+
+For direct connections, let the SDK drive those tokens from the same caller-owned
+LiteNetLib socket that carries gameplay. Ask the routing listener to create the
+bound manager, then configure and start that caller-owned manager yourself. The
+factory does not open a socket, and synchronized events must remain enabled:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousNetListener networkEvents = new();
+NetManager gameplayNetManager = networkEvents.CreateManager();
+if (!gameplayNetManager.Start(0))
+{
+    throw new InvalidOperationException("The gameplay UDP socket could not start.");
+}
+```
+
+The host polls join invitations asynchronously; that method only queues a
+snapshot and never calls the manager. `Poll()` is the sole SDK path that invokes
+LiteNetLib and dispatches its synchronized callbacks. Call it once per game
+frame on the thread that owns the manager:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousJoinClient joins = new(http);
+using RendezvousHostCoordinator host = new(
+    gameplayNetManager,
+    networkEvents,
+    mediatorEndPoint,
+    session,
+    joins);
+
+// Run periodically from the game's normal async scheduling path.
+await host.RefreshJoinAttemptsAsync(cancellationToken);
+
+// Godot _Process, Update, or the equivalent main-thread frame callback.
+host.Poll();
+```
+
+Do not also call `gameplayNetManager.PollEvents()` or
+`gameplayNetManager.NatPunchModule.PollEvents()` when a coordinator owns polling.
+The host coordinator refreshes host presence, punches for queued invitations,
+validates the introduction ticket, and accepts the direct request. Subscribe to
+`AttemptCompleted`; a `Connected` result is raised only after LiteNetLib reports
+the accepted peer as connected. Register ordinary gameplay callbacks on
+`networkEvents.GameplayEvents`; the routing listener reserves Rendezvous direct
+requests for ticket validation and forwards every other callback normally.
+
+The joining game first creates the HTTP attempt, then uses its own already-started
+gameplay manager in the same frame loop:
+
+```csharp
+CreateJoinAttemptResponse attempt = (await joins.CreateAsync(
+    createJoinRequest,
+    cancellationToken)).Value
+    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Join issuance failed.");
+using RendezvousClientCoordinator client = new(
+    gameplayNetManager,
+    networkEvents,
+    mediatorEndPoint,
+    attempt);
+
+// Godot _Process, Update, or the equivalent main-thread frame callback.
+client.Poll();
+```
+
+NAT introduction changes the client state to `Connecting`; it is not success.
+Only `Connected` supplies `ConnectedPeer`. Call `Cancel()` and then `Poll()` for
+local cancellation, or `CancelAsync(joins, cancellationToken)` to also revoke the
+service attempt. Terminal client paths release all event subscriptions. Disposing
+a coordinator never stops or disposes the caller-owned manager and does not touch
+an in-flight peer; call `Cancel()` followed by `Poll()` first when that peer must
+also be disconnected.
+
+Lease renewal is explicit and caller-controlled:
+
+```csharp
+PublishedSession session = registered.Value;
+await using SessionLeaseMaintainer maintainer = publisher.CreateLeaseMaintainer(
+    session,
+    publisherCredential);
+LeaseMaintenanceResult stopped = await maintainer.RunAsync(cancellationToken);
+```
+
+Creating the maintainer does not start background work. Await its run and dispose
+it when hosting stops. Use `IRendezvousPublisherClient` and
+`IRendezvousSessionBrowserClient` as injection seams in game tests. The SDK disposes
+the requests and responses it creates but never disposes the supplied `HttpClient`.
+
+The host-side `ConnectionTicketValidator` is a bounded, thread-safe one-time gate.
+Authorize only tickets delivered by the authenticated Rendezvous introduction,
+then consume the exact ticket presented by the direct LiteNetLib connection:
+
+```csharp
+using ConnectionTicketValidator tickets = new();
+tickets.TryAuthorize(attemptId, expectedTicket, expiresAt);
+ConnectionTicketConsumptionResult admission = tickets.Consume(
+    attemptId,
+    presentedTicket);
+```
+
+An `Accepted` ticket authorizes only this connection attempt. The game must still
+apply its own player identity, capacity, ban, and gameplay admission rules. Revoke
+the attempt on cancellation and dispose the validator during host shutdown so its
+keyed ticket digests are zeroed.
+
+See the repository's ADR 0007 for HTTP ownership/retry semantics and ADR 0008 for
+join-capability and connection-ticket security semantics.
