Add the actual Workers WebCrypto release floor.

The matrix records published @cachekit-io/cachekit 0.2.1. cachekit-ts#271 merged on 30 October 2026 and changed Workers AES-GCM from wasm AES to WebCrypto. A 0.2.1 installation can therefore use the old wasm AES path while this cell advertises WebCrypto.

Add the minimum npm version containing cachekit-ts#271 and keep this change held until that version is published. Do not use 0.2.4+ unless its release metadata identifies 0.2.4 as that version.

Update the AES-256-GCM row’s Workers entry to advertise WebCrypto only from the
minimum published @cachekit-io/cachekit version containing cachekit-ts#271;
verify that version from release metadata, and keep the change pending until it
is published.

Valid. The release that carries cachekit-ts#271 is not published yet, and its release PR has already moved from 0.2.4 to 0.3.0, so pinning a number now would be a guess. This PR stays in draft until that release is on npm; the cell and footnote get its published version in the same push that takes it out of draft. Leaving this thread open as the hold.

@27Bslash6 Understood. Deferring the version avoids guessing from an unpublished release PR. This thread stays open pending npm publication and the verified release-floor update to the cell and footnote.

Learning: In `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, attach footnote ¹¹ directly to planned Rust API names such as `secure` and `secure_cache()`. Keep other footnotes, such as ¹³ for the Rust reliability tier, separate so adjacent superscripts do not read as one footnote number.

Learning: In `cachekit-io/protocol`, `sdk-feature-matrix.md` states that PHP has no namespace implementation to audit. Do not describe `cachekit-php` as sharing the documented TypeScript, Rust, or interop namespace behaviour or key shape. In `decisions/namespace-isolation.md`, the general rule for a future SDK is conditional: keys without a namespace prefix land in the server's `default` namespace.

Timestamp: 2026-08-03T17:58:52.099Z
Learning: In `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, all SDK version cells are minimum-version floors and must use trailing `+` notation, not current-release snapshots. `tools/check-version-floors.py`, invoked by `verify.yml`, enforces this rule for the SDK Overview table.

Timestamp: 2026-09-22T08:02:39.603Z
Learning: In cachekit-io/protocol, the Key rotation feature is released for Python in cachekit-py 0.18.0+ but is unreleased for Rust and TypeScript. Although the cachekit-rs and cachekit-ts keyring implementation PRs are merged, the inspected crates.io 0.7.0 crate and npm 0.1.5 tarball do not contain a keyring option. Documentation must distinguish implemented status from released status, as defined by `decisions/matrix-version-verification.md`.

Learning: For `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, verify every versioned SDK release-status claim against the published registry artifact, including embedded dependencies where they determine behavior. Do not infer shipment status from an SDK repository’s `main` branch or an older tag. In particular, `cachekit-rs` 0.6.0+ ships `reliability` by default and includes L1 `get_with_swr`; the `macros` feature remains opt-in only for macro-level graceful degradation and automatic `#[cachekit]` single-flight wiring.

Learning: In `cachekit-core`, release tags v0.2.1 through v0.6.0 use the aarch64 NEON target feature for `ZeroKnowledgeEncryptor::hardware_acceleration_enabled()`. NEON does not establish that the CPU has the AES Crypto Extension, so the accessor can report `true` when AES runs in software.

Timestamp: 2026-09-19T16:16:00.513Z
Learning: In `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, cachekit-rs has no auto-mode key format. `CacheKitBuilder::namespace()` applies `{namespace}:{key}` only to caller-supplied cache-operation keys. `CacheKitBuilder::build()` rejects empty namespaces, namespaces longer than 255 bytes, and namespaces containing non-printable-ASCII bytes; it permits `:`.

Learning: In `cachekit-io/protocol`, `spec/intent-presets.md` cites Rust source at `cachekit-rs@6587ce9`, where `CacheKit::minimal` calls `.no_l1()` on Line 77. `sdk-feature-matrix.md` cites the published `cachekit-rs-0.7.0.crate`, where that call is on Line 79. Check each document's source-artifact policy before comparing Rust line citations.

File: spec/cache-key-format.md:94-95
Timestamp: 2026-09-26T21:10:37.242Z
Learning: In `cachekit-io/protocol`, the Python CK v3 frame header `s` field documented in `spec/wire-format.md` is plaintext and unauthenticated, including for encrypted entries. AAD v0x03 in `spec/encryption.md` does not bind `s`. The read-side serializer-name check in `spec/cache-key-format.md` protects against accidental serializer-code collisions between honestly written entries; it is not an integrity control against a writer with backend write access who can relabel the header. Authenticating `s` would change the AAD format and require a separately planned version and read migration.

Learning: In `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, date entries follow the introducing commit author’s local-timezone date rather than the review timestamp’s timezone. In particular, commit `722bec0` legitimately uses the 2026-07-23 date in the +1000 author timezone.

Timestamp: 2026-07-17T11:39:53.409Z
Learning: In `tools/interop-reference.py`, the canonical MessagePack encoder is deliberately implemented as a single readable branch ladder because the file is an executable companion to `spec/interop-mode.md`; avoid structural decomposition that obscures the wire-format specification. The repository has Python reference-verification CI in `.github/workflows/verify.yml` but no Ruff configuration or Ruff CI step as of PR #16.

Learning: In cachekit-io/protocol, tools/changelog-collect.py concatenates Markdown fragments from changelog.d/ into the repository-root CHANGELOG.md at release. Links in these fragments must be relative to the repository root, not to changelog.d/. changelog.d/README.md describes this workflow.

Learning: In `sdk-feature-matrix.md`, a compliance cell marked “on `main`, unreleased” can describe the intended state when a protocol PR merges, even if the linked SDK PR is still open during review, when the protocol PR is explicitly held until that SDK PR merges. Do not recommend reverting the cell solely because the SDK PR is currently open; first account for the stated merge order.

Learning: In cachekit-io/protocol, changelog.d/ fragments document changes to the protocol spec and SDK feature matrix, not SDK upgrade guidance.

Learning: In cachekit-io/protocol, changelog.d/README.md requires each fragment to contain its entry exactly as it will appear in the changelog. tools/changelog-collect.py copies fragments verbatim into the root CHANGELOG.md. Markdown links in changelog.d/ fragments must therefore use targets relative to the repository root, not relative to changelog.d/.

Timestamp: 2026-07-17T12:00:13.075Z
Learning: In `.github/workflows/verify.yml`, the CacheKit Protocol interop verifier intentionally creates an ephemeral root-level npm environment for its dev-only JavaScript cross-check rather than committing a Node manifest or lockfile. Its direct dependency is pinned to `@noble/hashes@2.2.0` and installed with `--ignore-scripts`.

Learning: In `spec/cache-key-format.md`, `cachekit-py` v0.18.0 is the verified baseline for the cache-key layout, but it predates serializer-code derivation and emits the fixed `s` suffix. Serializer-code derivation is instead pinned to `cachekit-io/cachekit-py#311` at commit `3fd7c35`. The vendored cache-key vectors were generated by `cachekit-py` v0.12.0 and remain unchanged.

Learning: For CacheKit SaaS, PR #231 merged on 2026-07-17 and changed `apps/cache/src/cache-key-validator.ts` so non-prefixed keys, including interop-format keys, resolve to the `default` namespace with `keyClass: 'open'`. The warning at `spec/interop-mode.md` Lines 379-384 that saas#91 must land is stale; protocol PR #17 updates that status.

Learning: In cachekit-io/protocol PR #57, `tools/test_wire_format_reference.py` must run every invocation that can reach `tools/wire-format-reference.py generate` against a scratch mirror of `test-vectors/wire-format.json`. Mutation assertions must verify both the expected exit code and a specific refusal marker, because exit codes alone can pass through an unrelated interpreter or traceback failure.

Timestamp: 2026-09-01T23:39:39.371Z
Learning: For Cachekit protocol cache-key documentation, `test-vectors/cache-keys.json` contains Python-SDK-only conformance vectors. A different `func:` segment produces a different cache key, so other SDKs cannot obtain a shared-cache hit by substituting only the module path. Cross-SDK validation uses `test-vectors/interop-mode.json`; the Python `[normalized_args, sorted_kwargs]` hash does not use the Interop Mode v1 hashing scheme.

Learning: In the CacheKit protocol repository, `spec/encryption.md` defines keyring rotation as shipped in cachekit-py, cachekit-rs, and cachekit-ts. Python selects a keyring entry using the fingerprint of the HKDF-derived per-tenant encryption key. Rust and TypeScript attempt the current key and then configured decrypt-only keys in sequence. Operators manually retire decrypt-only keys after the applicable rotation window; the SDKs do not provide a TTL-based key-retirement control.

Learning: In `tools/test_check_version_floors.py`, the `PHP_ROW` fixture must use two Unicode em dashes (U+2014), while the `en-dash placeholder` mutation must use Unicode en dashes (U+2013). Unicode escapes are preferred in these test fixtures because the characters are visually ambiguous in raw source, but the runtime string values must exactly match the SDK feature matrix placeholders.

Learning: In `tools/wire-format-reference.py`, `size` is decoded from `base["envelope_hex"]`. Reaching the optional `lz4_block.decompress` check requires consistency across the decoded envelope size, `base["input_size"]`, the bin twin fields, and byte-identical re-encoding. A mutation of only `original_size` and `input_size` does not reach decompression; an oversized allocation bound requires a fully coherent base-and-twin fixture regeneration.

Learning: In `spec/cache-key-format.md`, unknown serializer identities use a 2-byte BLAKE2b-derived fallback code. The requirement is that identities must not share a code by construction; hash collisions remain a documented probabilistic risk of approximately 1 in 2^16 per pair. A collision shares the cache key and AES-256-GCM AAD, but mandatory recorded serializer-name validation rejects the mismatched entry before decoding.

Multiplying by 1000 gives 4,294,968,000, which wraps to positive 704 in both unsigned and signed 32-bit arithmetic. A signed 32-bit ratio product can be negative at other payload lengths, but not at this vector's length.

Use escaped Unicode code points in code string literals to make the character class readable. The repository does not currently configure Ruff or run Ruff in `.github/workflows/verify.yml`; RUF001 is therefore not an enforced CI rule.

Unprefixed cache keys use the `default` namespace and are an open write space for all API key classes; named-namespace grants must include `default` to access them. Request-level tests for the SaaS write-space `403` gate belong in `cachekit-io/saas`, not this protocol repository.

> Degradation is on unless explicitly disabled (`degradationEnabled = …degradation !== false`, read the same way by the `CacheImpl` constructor in `cache-core.ts` and the `ReliabilityExecutor` constructor in `reliability/executor.ts`) and `createCache.secure()` / `.production()` / `.io()` all set it `true` (`PRODUCTION_RELIABILITY` in `intents-core.ts`); only `minimal` sets `false`, and `minimal` carries no encryption. **There is no `failClosed` option anywhere in cachekit-ts** — Python's `CACHEKIT_ENCRYPTION_FAIL_CLOSED` has no counterpart, so the only lever is `reliability: { degradation: false }`, which also gives up backend-outage degradation. If you rely on a thrown error as your tamper, wrong-key or nonce alarm, TypeScript raises none with degradation on. The signals are the `errors_total` counter (metrics on), the rate-limited write warning and the L1 decrypt log; an L2 read that fails to decrypt shows up only in the counter.

> ⁶ AES hardware detection lives in the shared core — `ZeroKnowledgeEncryptor::hardware_acceleration_enabled()` in `cachekit-core/src/encryption/core.rs`: a runtime `is_x86_feature_detected!("aes")` probe on x86/x86_64; on aarch64 it returns `cfg!(target_feature = "neon")`, which every aarch64 target enables, so it is `true` on every aarch64 build whether or not the CPU has the Crypto Extension — a Raspberry Pi 4 (Cortex-A72 without the Crypto Extension) reports `true` while `ring` runs software AES. That holds for every published `cachekit-core` through 0.6.0 (0.4.0, 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 included). `cachekit-core` 0.7.0 (crates.io, 2026-10-21) ships the fix, [cachekit-core#77](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-core/pull/77) (LAB-4650): on aarch64 it calls `is_aarch64_feature_detected!("aes")` (`src/encryption/core.rs:263` of the published `.crate`, inspected 2026-10-24). Always `false` on wasm32 (no AES instructions to detect). It is **informational only** — `ring`/`aes-gcm` choose their implementation independently of the flag. Published artifacts (registries checked 2026-09-29; crates.io re-checked 2026-09-30): Python surfaces it (`EncryptionWrapper.hardware_acceleration_enabled`, in `get_encryption_info()` and the init log); `cachekit-rs` 0.8.0+ re-exports it as `EncryptionLayer::hardware_acceleration_enabled()`, forwarded by `SecureCache` ([cachekit-rs#80](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-rs/pull/80)); 0.8.0 through 0.11.0 require `cachekit-core` `^0.6`, which resolves to 0.6.0 (the only 0.6.x published), so they inherit the aarch64 false positive above, and 0.11.1+ (crates.io, 2026-10-23) requires `^0.7` and inherits the fix (registry dependency lists read 2026-10-24); 0.7.0 and earlier never re-export it. `@cachekit-io/cachekit` 0.2.1+ surfaces it ([cachekit-ts#132](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-ts/pull/132)): `TenantKeys.hardwareAccelerationEnabled()` on the NAPI and wasm bindings (`index.d.ts` of `cachekit-core-ts` 0.2.0 and of `cachekit-core-wasm` 0.2.0) and `EncryptionManager.isHardwareAccelerated()` (`dist/encryption/manager-core.js`), which initialises on demand and returns `null` — unknown, not `false` — when the installed binding predates the accessor (`.tgz`s inspected 2026-10-24). Both 0.2.1 bindings embed `cachekit-core` 0.6.0 (`strings` on every `.node` and the `.wasm`, 2026-10-24), so TypeScript still reports `true` on every aarch64 build. 0.1.5 and earlier expose nothing on either binding — `N/A` for TypeScript was wrong, since both bindings run the same Rust core. The wasm32 always-`false` claim is asserted by cachekit-ts's workerd test (`encryption.protocol.workers.test.ts`), and the Rust accessor is pinned to `is_x86_feature_detected!("aes")` on x86_64 by the `hardware_acceleration_reports_core_detection` test in the published 0.8.0 crate's `src/encryption.rs`. TypeScript's aarch64 false positive ends with a release whose bindings embed `cachekit-core` 0.7.0 or later.

Since [cachekit-ts#271](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-ts/pull/271) the Workers `EncryptionManager.isHardwareAccelerated()` returns `null` (unknown) instead: AES-GCM runs through WebCrypto there, and an isolate cannot see whether that uses AES instructions (`webcrypto.workers.test.ts` pins it). The Rust accessor is pinned to `is_x86_feature_detected!("aes")` on x86_64 by the `hardware_acceleration_reports_core_detection` test in the published 0.8.0 crate's `src/encryption.rs`. TypeScript's aarch64 false positive ends with a release whose bindings embed `cachekit-core` 0.7.0 or later.

Since [cachekit-ts#271](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-ts/pull/271), AES-256-GCM runs through the runtime's WebCrypto (`crypto.subtle`, native code; wasm32 has no AES instructions) on keys the wasm core derives, and the core's counter-nonce scheme (8-byte instance id ‖ 4-byte counter, exhausted at 2^32−1) and keyring decrypt loop are reproduced in JS; HKDF-SHA256, the key fingerprint and the tenant-id bounds stay in the Rust core; byte-verified against the Python-ground-truth `test-vectors/encryption.json` and `wire-format.json` suites inside real workerd (`wire-format.json` 1.4.0 `vectors`, `constructed_vectors` including the `bin16` → `bin32` edge, and, since npm 0.2.1, all fourteen `reject_vectors` and both `payload_reject_vectors` on the envelope read path — [cachekit-ts#198](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-ts/pull/198), 1.4.0 in [cachekit-ts#229](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-ts/pull/229); see the Wire format row).

Counter nonces stay; the random-nonce option in [encryption.md → Nonce Generation](spec/encryption.md#nonce-generation) is not used.

> ² DynamoDB has never shipped in any SDK. The previous Python ✅ traced to the [custom-backend tutorial](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-py/blob/main/docs/backends/custom.md), which shows how a *user* can implement the backend protocol against DynamoDB — that is an extension point, not shipped support (LAB-273).
