**Author:** Mavis (`Mavis@local`)

## 1. Summary

Audited 15 fix commits on `debug-krpc-handshake`, built an in-process mock kRPC server that speaks the real wire protocol, used it to surface two more decode bugs the original commit chain didn't catch, and landed the result on a new `feature/krpc-handshake-final` branch with regression tests, all 142 workspace tests green, and `pnpm -r typecheck` / `pnpm -r build` both clean.

## 2. Changed files

### Created
- `packages/krpc-client/tests/mock-krpc-server.ts` — in-process TCP server. Exports `startMockKrpcServer()` returning a `MockServer` with `stub()` / `callCount()` / `lastArgs()` / `callLog()` / `close()`. Default stubs cover the full SpaceCenter surface the bridge needs: `GetUT`, `GetBodies`, `GetVessels`, `CelestialBody.get_Name` / `get_Parent` / `get_Radius` / `get_SphereOfInfluence` / `get_GravitationalParameter` / `get_RotationPeriod` / `get_AxialTilt` / `get_Orbit`, the 7 `Orbit.get_*` lookups, `Vessel.get_Name` / `get_Type` / `get_Situation` / `get_Orbit` / `get_ReferenceBody`, plus the two KRPC-level calls (`GetServices`, `GetStatus`).
- `packages/krpc-client/tests/mock-krpc-server.test.ts` — 14 tests. Covers: minimal ConnectionResponse (real kRPC shape), full GetServices decode with nested Type.code and Procedure.game_scenes, null returnType, enum / string / CLASS-list / PascalCase→.NET-name fallback decodes, the raw-socket handshake shape, and the two new regression tests (concurrent invokes, empty LIST response).
- `apps/tools/ksp-bridge/tests/mock-krpc-integration.test.ts` — 7 tests. Drives the full `KRPCAdapter` + `extract()` loop against the mock (default 1-star/1-planet fixture + custom 1-star/1-planet/1-moon/1-vessel fixture) and asserts the resulting `UniverseSnapshot`.

### Modified
- `packages/krpc-client/package.json` — exports `./test-fixtures` and `./test-fixtures/_test-encode` subpaths so the bridge integration test can `import` the mock server.
- `packages/krpc-client/src/client.ts` — adds a per-socket `invokeChain: Promise<void>` mutex. `invoke()` now awaits the previous invoke's (send + recv) cycle before touching the socket. Fixes the concurrent-invoke framing bug surfaced by `Promise.all([invoke(GetUT), invoke(GetBodies), invoke(GetVessels)])` in `extract.ts` (the byte stream was being read as one shared queue, so the first 3 bytes of `request1/response1/request2/...` got distributed to 3 different recvRawMessage callers). Trade-off: parallel invokes become sequential on the wire. Future optimization: per-call request IDs + dispatching response reader (see the "batched calls" deferred item in `docs/verification-report.md`).
- `packages/krpc-client/src/service-client.ts` — accepts a zero-length response for `LIST` / `SET` / `DICTIONARY` / `TUPLE` return types. The kRPC server serializes an empty collection as 0 bytes (NOT a length-prefixed `KRPC.List` with 0 items), so the previous "zero-length response for non-nullable, non-NONE return type" throw was wrong for collections.
- `apps/tools/ksp-bridge/src/extract.ts` — when `CelestialBody.get_Orbit()` returns `null` (the root body / Kerbol in stock KSP), the bridge now uses a zero orbit instead of throwing, so the snapshot still has the full body table.

### Carry-forward from `debug-krpc-handshake`
Carried forward the 8 CORRECT fix commits + 5 env-gated debug commits (kept). Dropped:
- `639d265` "decode error bytes as Error protobuf (not as a pre-decoded object)" — REGRESSION_RISK, fully reverted by `1d5b6a9`.
- `fc76635` "chore: remove stray commit msg scratch file" — replaced by the clean history on the new branch.

The full audit (one row per commit) is in `deliverable-audit.md` in this output directory.

## 3. New mock-server tests (21 total)

`packages/krpc-client/tests/mock-krpc-server.test.ts` (14):
- `handles the ConnectionResponse with no status/message (real kRPC behavior)`
- `decodes GetServices (which contains many Type messages with .code)`
- `preserves every Procedure field (including game_scenes)`
- `invokes GetUT and decodes the returned double`
- `handles a Procedure with missing returnType (the null returnType case)`
- `decodes an enum return value (Vessel.GetType)`
- `decodes a CLASS list (SpaceCenter.GetBodies)`
- `decodes a string (CelestialBody.get_Name)`
- `returns the right value for the .NET-style getter (PascalCase fallback)`
- `counts calls to each procedure`
- `RPC handshake responds with only clientIdentifier (matches real kRPC)`
- `KRPCClient — concurrent invoke framing — handles 3 concurrent invokes without inter-frame byte loss` (regression)
- `KRPCClient — concurrent invoke framing — handles an empty LIST response (zero-byte body)` (regression)
- `ServiceCache — null returnType regression — accepts a Procedure with returnType=null`

`apps/tools/ksp-bridge/tests/mock-krpc-integration.test.ts` (7):
- `Bridge integration — full extract() against mock kRPC — connects and loads the service catalog`
- `… runs extract() and produces a UniverseSnapshot`
- `… buildSnapshot produces a valid UniverseSnapshot`
- `… records the procedure call counts (proves the wire path is exercised)`
- `Bridge integration — custom fixture (1 star, 1 planet, 1 moon, 1 vessel) — extracts 3 bodies and 1 vessel`
- `… produces a UniverseSnapshot with the right id slugs`
- `… decodes the vessel situation and type from the enum values`

## 4. New fixes

| # | File | What | Regression test |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `packages/krpc-client/src/client.ts` | Per-socket `invokeChain` mutex so concurrent `invoke()` calls don't race on the shared `SocketReader` | `KRPCClient — concurrent invoke framing — handles 3 concurrent invokes without inter-frame byte loss` (passes with fix, fails without — would throw "index out of range" or "invalid wire type") |
| 2 | `packages/krpc-client/src/service-client.ts` | Accept zero-length response for `LIST`/`SET`/`DICTIONARY`/`TUPLE` return types | `… handles an empty LIST response (zero-byte body)` |
| 3 | `apps/tools/ksp-bridge/src/extract.ts` | Use a zero orbit when `CelestialBody.get_Orbit()` returns null (root body / Kerbol) | Implicit — `Bridge integration — full extract() against mock kRPC — runs extract() and produces a UniverseSnapshot` exercises the default fixture which has Kerbol (id=101) returning orbit=null |

## 6. PR

**Open manually:** https://gitea.arnike.ru/Arnike/KSP-MissionControl/compare/main...feature/krpc-handshake-final

The Gitea API requires a token I don't have in this environment. The branch is pushed and ready to merge; the user just needs to click the link, set the title to `fix: complete kRPC handshake decode (carry forward correct fixes + add mock-server tests)`, and submit.

Once merged, the worktree at `C:\git\KSP-MissionControl\.worktrees\krpc-handshake-final` and the `feature/krpc-handshake-final` branch can be cleaned up with:

```bash
git worktree remove .worktrees/krpc-handshake-final
git branch -d feature/krpc-handshake-final
```

## 7. Human verification steps (none of which CI can do)

The mock server exercises the same wire bytes the kRPC mod sends, so the decoder logic is now test-covered without a real KSP install. But three things require a human with KSP:

1. **KSP 1.12.5 install + kRPC mod via CKAN.** See `ksp/README.md` for the install steps.
2. **Alt+F12 in-game → kRPC window → confirm the RPC server is on `127.0.0.1:50000` and the Stream server is on `127.0.0.1:50001`.** (The bridge defaults match these; override with `KSP_KRPC_PORT` / `KSP_KRPC_STREAM_PORT` env vars if needed.)
3. **Visual live-map motion** after the bridge POSTs its first snapshot. Open `http://localhost:3000/debug` (the hub) for the live JSON view, or `http://localhost:3001` (the live-map) for the 3D scene. If the bridge's `[v2-debug]` BUILD_TAG isn't in the log, the user is still on a stale binary.

End-to-end test recipe:

```bash
# Terminal 1 — API
cd apps/api && PORT=4000 USE_IN_MEMORY=1 pnpm start

# Terminal 2 — Bridge (against real KSP)
cd apps/tools/ksp-bridge \
  && KERBAL_RT_API_URL=http://localhost:4000 \
     KSP_KRPC_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
     KSP_KRPC_PORT=50000 \
     KSP_KRPC_STREAM_PORT=50001 \
     BRIDGE_POLL_MS=1000 \
     KRPC_DEBUG=1 \
     pnpm start

# Terminal 3 — Hub
cd apps/hub && PORT=3000 pnpm start
# Open http://localhost:3000/debug to see live state

# Terminal 4 — live-map (optional)
cd apps/live-map && pnpm dev
# Open http://localhost:3001
```

If anything in the wire path still breaks, set `KRPC_DEBUG=1` on the bridge to dump raw bytes for every call. The mock server also respects `KRPC_DEBUG` (gated via the `log` option) to dump its send-side bytes.

## 8. Notes

- **No-warp enforcement remains deferred.** The plan's gotcha #8 says there should be a custom C# mod or LMP plugin to prevent the user from hitting time-warp in KSP. There is still neither. Any user can still time-warp in KSP and break the live map. Document this in the Phase 6 runbook when it happens; the architectural decision to defer was made before this task.
- **Streams are still not exercised.** The `KRPCClient` wires up `AddStream` / `StreamUpdate`, but the bridge's polling loop doesn't use them yet. The mock server's stream server returns OK on the handshake and then idles. This is a follow-up optimization listed in `ksp/README.md` ("What's NOT in scope yet").
- **The async-audit check at task end was clean** — no pending CI, no jobs, no human-wait. The PR open step is the only thing blocking, and it's a one-click action by the user.
- **The format:check failure is pre-existing** (112 files off-format in `main`, none of them touched by this branch). It can be addressed in a separate "run prettier on the whole repo" chore PR; blocking it on this fix would conflate two unrelated concerns.
- **The CI workflow will typecheck/test/build the PR** but cannot open it. The `gh` / `tea` / `glab` CLIs aren't installed; the Gitea REST API requires a token. The user clicks the link.
