CORE reviewed and accepted (core/docs/adr-0011-core-response.md,
lane/core@7bf5cb5), with three amendments folded in:
- yield (slot transfer at the next segment boundary) as the mechanism
that satisfies min-1-before-seconds out of a full budget; steal
stays slot-neutral as originally written.
- "admission implies progress" is bounded-delay
(min(next yield boundary, low_speed_secs) + connect_timeout), not
immediate — widens the starvation-assertion window from 2s to
~low_speed_secs + connect_timeout (45s).
- starved_tasks()/starved_since(TaskId) added to the accessor set;
segments_active() and tasks_starved definitions pinned (a
'connecting' segment counts as held, not starved).
All five open questions answered (min-1 buildable without inversion,
probe pool size 4 outside the budget, drain-not-kill live-apply,
ordered TaskId list for priority, 4Hz + starved-edge callback
coalescing). Section 6 rewritten: connection.maxActiveSegments landed
on the wire in PROTO's ADR 0012 while this was in flight, so the
daemon-local stopgap is dropped.
daemon/src/sched/ is unblocked. Both docs updated in the rebased
vdm-daemon worktree against the frozen 1.0.0 contract.

Settles the open interface question in AGENT-DAEMON.md before sched/ is
written: DAEMON's concurrency governor (global/per-queue/per-host, task
units) and CORE's maxActiveSegments (segment units) are two governors on
two axes with non-overlapping enforcement — each lane enforces exactly
the ceilings counted in the units it owns, with one narrow task-unit
clamp against maxActiveSegments. Records the fairness rule DAEMON needs
from CORE (min-1-before-seconds) so admission implies progress even
when one download could otherwise hold the entire segment budget.
Companion daemon/docs/core-requests-m1.md is the concrete engine API
ask (budget()/segments_active()/on_budget_changed, live-apply semantics
for set_max_active_segments, set_host_segment_cap, probe pool sizing)
plus one contract gap for PROTO (connection.maxActiveSegments missing
from Settings.schema.json).
Status: proposed, pending CORE sign-off on the five open items at the
end of the ADR. daemon/src/sched/ does not land until that lands.

Three corrections into 1.0.0, all of which would be major bumps once the
contract has landed. It has not: main still carries 1.0.0-draft, so these are
corrections to an unpublished version rather than changes to a released one.
ADR 0010 records that and the reasoning behind each.
B1 — TaskError.code was a bare integer, and the integer space in the contract is
JSON-RPC's, which is a different thing; TaskError's own description said so while
typing its code as one. Freeze TaskErrorCode: a string enum mirroring vdm::Error
by name and in order, all 27 failure values, verified against
core/include/vdm/util/error.hpp mechanically. ErrorCode says why a call failed;
TaskErrorCode says why a download failed, and a download fails while every RPC
succeeds. Adds TaskError.cause so max_retries_exhausted names what kept failing.
B2 — TaskSummary.segments is now explicitly the effective count in use right now,
after the per-host cap and the non-resumable demotion to 1. DownloadSpec.segments
and download.update's patch say they are the requested value.
B3 — Segment.endByte's "minimum: 0" contradicted the description's own empty-range
encoding of startByte - 1, which is -1 for the first segment of every download.
Empty ranges are no longer representable and are not needed. The range stays
CLOSED and INCLUSIVE, matching the HTTP Range header the two fields are copied
into verbatim, and that is now stated in the schema, the README, an ADR, a fixture
assertion and a conformance check. CORE asked for half-open and gets a written
notice rather than a silent schema edit. Segment state spells 'downloading' as
CORE asked, not 'receiving'.
check_contract.py now enforces segment contiguity, coverage of exactly
[0, sizeBytes-1], downloadedBytes within the range size, and the entry count
matching TaskSummary.segments. The download.get fixture claimed 8 segments while
carrying 2; it now carries 8 contiguous ones covering the whole file.
contracts/proto-answers-m1.md answers every item in core/docs/proto-requests-m1.md,
including the ones not being landed now: B2a and F2 accepted as follow-ups, F1
answered with the notify path for M1, F3 already frozen as a Checksum object
rather than a string, and D1 left for DAEMON to draft as the three-way ADR it is.

Schemas for the whole v1 surface: 38 methods, 9 events, 25 named types and the
JSON-RPC envelope, with x-privileged / x-transports / x-deadlineMs / x-errors
annotations that both generators emit as data rather than prose.
Four generators over one IR (contracts/codegen/schema_ir.py), so the C++ structs,
the TypeScript types and the OpenRPC document cannot disagree about what the
contract says:
gen_cpp.py -> core/generated/velox_proto.{hpp,cpp}
gen_ts.py -> extension/src/shared/protocol/
gen_openrpc.py -> contracts/openrpc.json
gen_cpp_conformance.py -> tests/conformance/cpp/fixture_dispatcher.hpp
Inbound parsing never throws: parse<T>() returns std::expected<T, ParseError> and
nlohmann's throwing ADL from_json is deliberately not emitted. Schema constraints
(minimum, maxLength, pattern, ...) become real runtime checks in both languages —
the daemon does not trust the extension and the extension does not trust the
daemon.
59 golden fixtures: a success case per method, 12 error cases, 9 events. Replayed
by tests/conformance/ against both the generated C++ and a live server over both
transports. tools/mockd serves the same fixtures with unhappy-path flags so the
GUI and EXT lanes never wait for veloxd.
run.sh also proves capture.offer fails open: with a daemon answering slower than
750 ms the client gives up and lets Firefox take the download.
core/generated/ is libveloxproto, a separate target from libveloxcore, which
still never sees JSON — see docs/adr/0009.

Lays out Velox Download Manager (IDM-class download manager for Ubuntu
26.04) as a monorepo ready for parallel lane development. No implementation
code by design.
- docs/: architecture, roadmap M0-M7, IDM-parity GUI spec, engine design,
Firefox extension spec, risks/spikes, packaging
- contracts/: wire-contract skeleton (JSON Schema + fixture templates) —
the single synchronization point between lanes
- docs/agents/: one brief per lane (PROTO, CORE, DAEMON, GUI, EXT, PKG/QA)
with owned directories, build order and definition of done
- CLAUDE.md: rules of engagement — lane ownership, layering, non-negotiables
- CMake scaffolding with dev/tsan/release/ci presets
Two environment findings shape the design: Firefox here is the Mozilla snap
(native-messaging risk, so the extension carries a loopback-WebSocket
fallback), and Wayland forbids passive clipboard monitoring (so clipboard
capture is explicit-action-first).
