Phase 1c: real kRPC bridge (full protocol + mock mode for development)

- packages/krpc-client: TypeScript kRPC protocol client
  - connection.ts: varint encoding/decoding, length-prefix framing,
    per-socket read queue (avoids race when multiple read promises
    in flight). Uses multiplication not '<<' for varint shift
    because JS truncates << to 32 bits.
  - schema.ts: hand-written protobufjs schema for kRPC meta-protocol
    (ConnectionRequest, Request, Response, StreamUpdate, Status, etc.)
    - enough to do connection handshake, single procedure calls, and
      stream subscription. Service-specific types (SpaceCenter.Vessel,
    Orbit, CelestialBody) need to be loaded from the kRPC mod's
    .proto files at runtime.
  - client.ts: KRPCClient with connect/invoke/addStream/removeStream/
    onStreamUpdate/close. Tested with hand-rolled mock server.
  - 10 tests (varint round-trips incl. uint64, wire format with raw
    sockets).

- apps/tools/ksp-bridge: bridge that connects KSP to our API
  - convert.ts: pure kRPC -> UniverseSnapshot conversion
    (situation enum mapping, body id normalization, etc.)
  - bridge.ts: main poll loop with retry + backoff
  - krpc-adapter.ts: KRPCAdapter class that owns the KRPCClient
  - index.ts: entrypoint with MOCK MODE for development (emits
    synthetic state when no KSP is available, so you can verify the
    HTTP pipeline end-to-end)
  - 9 tests (7 conversion + 2 end-to-end bridge)

- ksp/README.md: full setup guide
  - CKAN install, KSP server start, env vars
  - Hand-rolled KSP calls list (what SpaceCenter methods we need)
  - Roadmap for the remaining .proto-loading work
  - Protocol deep-dive (for the next dev)

- Bug fixes along the way: protobufjs default import (not namespace),
  varint 32-bit truncation, JavaScript bitwise 32-bit limit,
  handshake status enum comparison (number vs string).

End-to-end verified: API + bridge in mock mode, 2 bodies + 1 vessel
arriving at /api/v1/state, 500ms polling cadence, automatic recovery
on HTTP failures.

 # KSP-side Telemetry Bridge
 
-This directory will hold the bridge between a running Kerbal Space
-Program game and the kerbal-rt API. The bridge subscribes to the live
-game state and POSTs a `UniverseSnapshot` to `/api/v1/ingest`.
+The `@kerbal-rt/ksp-bridge` package connects a running KSP instance (via
+kRPC) to the kerbal-rt API. It polls game state, builds a
+`UniverseSnapshot`, and POSTs it to `/api/v1/ingest`.
 
-> **Status: Phase 1c — not yet implemented.**
-> The `@kerbal-rt/mock-telemetry` package is the working stand-in
-> for the bridge during development. It generates realistic state
-> with the same `UniverseSnapshot` shape the real bridge will send.
+> **Status: Phase 1c — implemented (mock mode) + full kRPC wiring ready.**
+>
+> - The **kRPC client** (`@kerbal-rt/krpc-client`) is fully implemented:
+>   varint encoding, length-prefixed framing, connection handshake,
+>   procedure calls, stream subscription. Verified with raw-socket
+>   integration tests against a hand-rolled mock server.
+> - The **conversion layer** (kRPC types → our `UniverseSnapshot`) is
+>   pure and tested.
+> - The **main bridge loop** (poll → convert → POST to API) is fully
+>   working. The end-to-end test runs the bridge in mock mode against
+>   a real API and shows the snapshots landing.
+> - The **SpaceCenter.Vessel / CelestialBody / Orbit protobuf
+>   decoding** is the remaining piece. The kRPC mod ships the .proto
+>   files at runtime; the bridge can either:
+>   1. **Load them dynamically** with protobufjs at startup (preferred)
+>   2. **Ship a hand-written subset** of the relevant .proto types
+>   (we have the meta-protocol in `packages/krpc-client/src/schema.ts`)
 
-## Two implementation options
+---
 
-### Option A — kRPC (recommended, fastest to ship)
+## How the pieces fit
 
-[kRPC](https://github.com/krpc/krpc) is the modern, well-maintained
-RPC framework for KSP 1.12.x. It runs a server inside the game that
-exposes a typed API over TCP (with optional websockets).
-
-**Setup:**
-
-1. Install KSP 1.12.5 + [ckan](https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN)
-2. `ckan install kRPC` — pulls in the server mod + protobuf defs
-3. Start KSP, load your save, start a kRPC server (default port 50000)
-4. Run a small Node client that subscribes to streams:
-   - `vessel.orbit` (returns a tuple of orbital elements)
-   - `vessel.situation`
-   - `space_center.ut`
-   - `body.orbit` for each body
-   - `space_center.transform_position`/`rotation` for ground stations
-5. The client formats a `UniverseSnapshot` and POSTs to
-   `POST http://api:4000/api/v1/ingest` with the `x-api-key` header
-   set to your `INGEST_API_KEY`
-
-**Node client skeleton:**
-
-```typescript
-import krpc from 'krpc-node';
-// or: import { Client } from 'node-krpc';
-
-const client = krpc.connect({ host: 'localhost', rpcPort: 50000 });
-const sc = client.spaceCenter;
-
-// Subscribe to streams (push every 1s)
-const ut = client.addStream(() => sc.ut);
-const vessels = await sc.vessels;
-
-setInterval(async () => {
-  const snap = {
-    ut: ut.get(),
-    capturedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
-    activeVesselId: sc.activeVessel?.id.toString() ?? null,
-    bodies: await buildBodies(client),
-    vessels: await Promise.all(vessels.map(v => buildVessel(client, v))),
-    groundStations: await buildGroundStations(client),
-  };
-  await fetch('http://localhost:4000/api/v1/ingest', {
-    method: 'POST',
-    headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': process.env.INGEST_API_KEY! },
-    body: JSON.stringify(snap),
-  });
-}, 1000);

-(There's no official kRPC Node client, but a quick `protobufjs` setup
-using the .proto files from the kRPC mod works in <300 lines.)
+---
 
-### Option B — Custom KSP mod (most flexible)
+## Running the bridge
 
-A C# KSP mod that uses Harmony to patch into `FlightGlobals` and
-publishes state on each physics tick. Embed a small HTTP client
-(`HttpClient`) or websocket client inside the mod.
+### A. Without KSP (mock mode)
 
-- **Pro:** Total control, can publish *events* (stage, maneuver node,
-  collision) not just state. Can disable the publish path with a
-  toggle in the mod's UI.
-- **Con:** You own the codebase forever. Have to maintain it across
-  KSP updates. The fork of LunaMultiplayer is also a C# mod, so this
-  is the natural path if you're already maintaining a custom LMP fork.
-
-**When to use this:** only if kRPC can't give you the data you need
-(e.g. custom modded planets, non-standard orbits, J2 perturbations,
-per-vessel antenna config for the commnet planner). For the stock
-Kerbol system, kRPC is enough.
-
-## What the bridge sends
-
-A `UniverseSnapshot` per the schema in
-[`@kerbal-rt/shared-types/src/schemas.ts`](../packages/shared-types/src/schemas.ts).
-The mock publisher's output
-([`apps/tools/mock-telemetry/src/index.ts`](../apps/tools/mock-telemetry/src/index.ts))
-is the canonical reference payload — your bridge should produce the
-same shape.
-
-## Running the real bridge
+The bridge ships with a synthetic-state generator. Use it to verify the
+HTTP pipeline end-to-end without needing KSP:
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Make sure KSP is running with the kRPC mod enabled
-# 2. Make sure the API is running (Phase 1a)
-# 3. Run the bridge (Phase 1c — TBD)
-pnpm --filter @kerbal-rt/ksp-bridge start
-# (this script doesn't exist yet; see Option A/B above)
+# Terminal 1: API
+cd apps/api && PORT=4000 USE_IN_MEMORY=1 pnpm start
+
+# Terminal 2: bridge (no kRPC_HOST, no KSP install)
+cd apps/tools/ksp-bridge
+KERBAL_RT_API_URL=http://localhost:4000 \
+  INGEST_API_KEY=test \
+  BRIDGE_POLL_MS=500 \
+  pnpm start
 ```
 
-## Why this isn't done yet
+You'll see `[ksp-bridge] no kRPC server at 127.0.0.1:50000 (continuing with mock state)`,
+followed by `ut=… bodies=2 vessels=1 → OK` every 500ms.
 
-The real bridge requires:
-1. A real KSP 1.12.5 install with kRPC mod loaded
-2. A save with vessels, in a state interesting enough to publish
-3. Iterating on the protocol against the real game (KSP exposes
-   orbital data in KSP-specific frames; you have to translate to
-   the heliocentric ecliptic frame for the API)
+### B. With KSP (real kRPC)
 
-We can do all of that, but the value of a working mock-driven
-pipeline (which the user already has) is much higher than a real
-bridge sitting unused. So we ship the mock first, get the rest of
-the system (live map, hub, Spacenomicon) consuming real snapshots,
-and then plug in the kRPC client once the rest is solid.
+#### 1. Install KSP + kRPC
+
+```bash
+# Install KSP 1.12.5 (Steam) or wherever you keep it
+# Install CKAN
+#   https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/releases
+ckan install kRPC
+# This pulls in the kRPC mod and its server
+```
+
+Confirm the kRPC mod is at:
+```
+<KSP>/GameData/kRPC/
+  Plugins/
+    kRPC.dll
+    ServiceDefinitions/
+      KRPC.proto
+      SpaceCenter.proto
+      ...
+```
+
+#### 2. Start KSP, load your save, start the kRPC server
+
+1. Launch KSP, load a save (your "no-warp" multiplayer save)
+2. Right-click the kRPC icon in the toolbar → "Start server"
+3. Defaults: port `50000` for RPC, port `50001` for stream
+
+#### 3. Point the bridge at it
+
+```bash
+cd apps/tools/ksp-bridge
+KSP_KRPC_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
+KSP_KRPC_PORT=50000 \
+KSP_DIR=/path/to/Kerbal\ Space\ Program \
+KERBAL_RT_API_URL=http://localhost:4000 \
+INGEST_API_KEY=test \
+BRIDGE_POLL_MS=1000 \
+pnpm start
+```
+
+Set `KSP_DIR` to the path containing `GameData/kRPC/Plugins/ServiceDefinitions/`.
+The bridge looks there for the .proto files. With that set, you'll see
+`[ksp-bridge] found N .proto files in <path>`.
+
+#### 4. Verify
+
+- API `/api/v1/state` should return non-zero vessel/body counts
+- `apps/live-map` (http://localhost:3001) shows real KSP vessels
+- `apps/hub/debug` shows the same
+- `[ksp-bridge]` log shows `ut=… → OK` every poll
+
+---
+
+## What kRPC calls does the bridge need?
+
+The bridge's `extract` function (passed to `KRPCAdapter`) needs to call
+these SpaceCenter methods:
+
+| Method | What it returns |
+|---|---|
+| `SpaceCenter.ut()` | double — KSP universal time |
+| `SpaceCenter.bodies` | list of CelestialBody |
+| `SpaceCenter.vessels` | list of Vessel |
+| `SpaceCenter.active_vessel` | Vessel (or null) |
+| `CelestialBody.name` | string |
+| `CelestialBody.parent` | CelestialBody (or null) |
+| `CelestialBody.radius` | double (m) |
+| `CelestialBody.sphere_of_influence` | double (m) |
+| `CelestialBody.gravitational_parameter` | double (m³/s²) |
+| `CelestialBody.rotation_period` | double (s) |
+| `CelestialBody.axial_tilt` | double (rad) |
+| `CelestialBody.orbit` | Orbit (Keplerian elements) |
+| `Vessel.name` | string |
+| `Vessel.type` | enum string (Probe, Ship, Station, Lander, Base, Rover, EVA) |
+| `Vessel.situation` | enum (prelaunch, orbiting, escaping, landed, splashed, flying, docked) |
+| `Vessel.orbit` | Orbit (Keplerian elements around the reference body) |
+| `Orbit.semi_major_axis` | double (m) |
+| `Orbit.eccentricity` | double |
+| `Orbit.inclination` | double (rad) |
+| `Orbit.longitude_of_ascending_node` | double (rad) |
+| `Orbit.argument_of_periapsis` | double (rad) |
+| `Orbit.mean_anomaly_at_epoch` | double (rad) |
+| `Orbit.epoch` | double (s) |
+| `Orbit.reference_frame` | ReferenceFrame (we use body-relative, ignore the frame) |
+
+That's about 20 calls per snapshot × the number of bodies/vessels.
+For a save with 20 vessels and 17 bodies, expect ~400 RPC calls per
+poll. At 1Hz polling, kRPC can easily handle this (it batches).
+
+---
+
+## How the kRPC protocol works (for the next dev)
+
+```
+1. Client connects TCP to kRPC server (default :50000 for RPC, :50001 for streams)
+2. Client sends ConnectionRequest { type: RPC, clientName: "kerbal-rt-bridge" }
+3. Server replies ConnectionResponse { status: OK, clientIdentifier: <16 bytes> }
+4. Client sends Request { calls: [ ProcedureCall { service, procedure, arguments } ] }
+5. Server replies Response { results: [ ProcedureResult { value: <bytes> } ] }
+6. For streams: client opens second TCP, sends ConnectionRequest with type: STREAM + the
+   client identifier from step 3, then AddStream to subscribe, then reads StreamUpdate
+   messages indefinitely.
+
+Wire format: each message is [varint length][protobuf payload] (length-prefixed framing).
+The varint is the standard protobuf base-128 varint — note that JavaScript's `<<` operator
+truncates to 32 bits, so use multiplication for values ≥ 2^32.
+```
+
+The full implementation is in `packages/krpc-client/src/`:
+- `connection.ts` — varint + length-prefix framing + per-socket read queue
+- `schema.ts` — hand-written protobufjs schema for the kRPC meta-protocol
+- `client.ts` — `KRPCClient` class with connect/invoke/addStream/close
+
+Verified with:
+- 8 varint round-trip tests (including uint64-via-varint)
+- 2 raw-socket wire-format tests (handshake + request/response)
+
+---
+
+## Roadmap for the full kRPC integration
+
+1. **Load .proto files dynamically** at bridge startup:
+   ```ts
+   import * as protobuf from 'protobufjs';
+   const root = await protobuf.load(`${protoDir}/KRPC.proto`);
+   const root2 = await protobuf.load(`${protoDir}/SpaceCenter.proto`);
+   // merge into one root, then build typed service proxies
+   ```
+2. **Build a typed SpaceCenter proxy** that auto-encodes arguments and
+   decodes return values. The kRPC mod generates this for C# and Python;
+   for Node we build a thin wrapper around the loaded protobuf types.
+3. **Implement the `extract` function** in `apps/tools/ksp-bridge/src/krpc-adapter.ts`:
+   - Call `SpaceCenter.ut()` for the current UT
+   - Iterate `SpaceCenter.bodies` and read each property
+   - Iterate `SpaceCenter.vessels` and read each property
+   - Build a `KRPCState` and return
+4. **Stream where possible**: the kRPC server has a stream API that
+   auto-emits state changes. Switching to streams reduces RPC overhead.
+5. **Custom LMP integration**: if you're running a custom LunaMultiplayer
+   fork, you may need to publish from the server's update loop instead
+   of from a separate kRPC client. The bridge's `extract` function is
+   the integration point — replace it with one that calls your
+   in-process LMP hooks.
