From 536a557a9cd72514fadb61d67fec64a6f8050883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat: add minimal unopinionated reqresp v1 package
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add core interfaces for request/response communication
- Support both single and chunked response protocols
- Provide generic type-safe APIs without external dependencies
- Include flexible encoding/compression abstractions
- Add comprehensive examples demonstrating usage

This implementation provides a clean, minimal API for libp2p request/response
protocols without being opinionated about encoding formats or protocol details.
It supports the chunked response pattern needed for protocols like
BeaconBlocksByRangeV2.

From f6e4048be86dcf4cb05d06b29d34bed7f0cdde6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Sam Calder-Mason <sam@puritydev.io>
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2025 17:44:12 +1000
Subject: [PATCH 2/9] feat: support per-protocol encoding in reqresp v1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove global encoder/compressor from service config
- Add HandlerOptions parameter to RegisterProtocol functions
- Add SendRequestWithOptions for per-request encoding
- Update examples to show protocol-specific encoding
- Improve middleware example to demonstrate actual usage

This allows different protocols to use different encoding strategies:
- JSON for metadata protocols
- SSZ for consensus data
- Different compression per protocol

Breaking changes:
- RegisterProtocol now requires HandlerOptions parameter
- ClientConfig no longer has Encoder/Compressor fields

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] feat: add comprehensive unit tests for reqresp v1 package

- Add tests for client.go covering SendRequest, retry logic, timeouts, and chunked requests
- Add tests for handler.go covering request handling, validation, and error responses
- Add tests for chunked_handler.go covering chunked responses and ChunkedResponseWriter
- Add tests for reqresp.go covering service lifecycle and concurrent operations
- Add tests for types.go covering Status, error constants, and configurations
- Create comprehensive mock implementations for host.Host, network.Stream, and other interfaces
- Achieve 72.6% test coverage, exceeding the >70% target

Test coverage breakdown:
- client.go: High coverage for core functionality
- handler.go: Excellent coverage (94.7% for HandleStream)
- chunked_handler.go: Excellent coverage (95% for HandleStream)
- types.go: 100% coverage for key functions
- reqresp.go: Good coverage for service operations

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] test: add comprehensive tests for reqresp v1 with 77.9%
 coverage
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add unit tests for all major components
- Add mock implementations for libp2p interfaces
- Add panic recovery to handlers for robustness
- Add proper timeout handling with context
- Fix empty request validation
- Fix integration test race conditions
- All tests now pass successfully

Coverage highlights:
- Total package: 77.9%
- Handler.HandleStream: 94.7%
- ChunkedHandler.HandleStream: 95.0%
- Client.SendRequestWithOptions: 95.5%

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add blank line before return statements (nlreturn)
- Add blank line before if statements after assignments (wsl)
- All linting issues now resolved

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] feat(reqresp/v1/eth): add minimal Ethereum protocol
 support
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add compile-time safe protocol creation for Ethereum consensus layer protocols.
The eth package provides factory functions that validate protocol IDs at compile
time without being opinionated about message types or encoders.

- Factory functions for all Ethereum consensus protocols
- No predefined message types (users provide their own)
- No default protocol instances
- Comprehensive examples showing usage patterns

Subject: [PATCH 7/9] feat: implement NetworkEncoder to merge Encoder and
 Compressor interfaces
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Merged Encoder and Compressor into single NetworkEncoder interface
- Updated all protocol constructors to use NetworkEncoder
- Removed unnecessary abstractions and simplified architecture
- Added SSZSnappyEncoder implementation as example
- Updated all tests and examples to use new API
- Removed unused fields and imports

This change better reflects how Ethereum protocols work (always using
SSZ+Snappy together) and significantly simplifies the API.

From 99071a561b81f57ea0635c29ad11d9dc4d3a9ea7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Sam Calder-Mason <sam@puritydev.io>
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 11:37:11 +1000
Subject: [PATCH 8/9] refactor: remove cruft and simplify reqresp/v1 package
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Removed empty Config struct that served no purpose
- Deleted broken example files that provided no value
- Simplified protocol abstractions into single SimpleProtocol type
- Merged ChunkedProtocol interface into Protocol with IsChunked() method
- Removed inheritance pattern in favor of simple struct with boolean field

The package is now much cleaner with only essential functionality and
no unnecessary abstractions or broken examples.

From: Sam Calder-Mason <sam@puritydev.io>
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 12:04:58 +1000
Subject: [PATCH 9/9] test: add comprehensive tests for reqresp/v1 package
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add tests for all core functionality with 87.3% coverage
- Add tests for protocol implementations with 100% coverage
- Test service lifecycle, handler registration, stream handling
- Test error scenarios and concurrent operations
- Test SSZ+Snappy encoder implementation
- Test all Ethereum protocol constructors

All tests pass successfully, exceeding the 80% coverage target.
