+# logos-protocol
+
+The Logos protocol layer: transports, token exchange, and the
+**language-neutral `lp_*` C ABI** (`cpp/logos_protocol.h`) that every Logos
+SDK builds on.
+
+Extracted from `logos-cpp-sdk` so that non-C++ SDKs (Rust, …) consume the
+same transports, capability/token flow and wire behavior through one stable,
+versioned boundary instead of re-wrapping the C++/Qt SDK.
+
+## What lives here
+
+- **Public C ABI** — `cpp/logos_protocol.h`: consumer surface
+  (`lp_client_*`, `lp_invoke[_async]`, `lp_subscribe`, tokens,
+  `lp_get_methods`), provider groundwork (`lp_provider_*`), and the
+  **protocol version** (`LOGOS_PROTOCOL_VERSION_*`, `lp_protocol_version()`,
+  `lp_protocol_abi_major()`). JSON-in-strings data model; bytes cross the
+  boundary as `{"_bytes":"<base64url>"}` (lossless, NUL-safe).
+- **Transports** — plain TCP / TCP+TLS (Boost.Asio + OpenSSL + nlohmann,
+  Qt-free), `qt_local`, in-memory mock, and Qt Remote Objects
+  (`qt_remote` — the only Qt-bearing transport).
+- **Consumer core** — `LogosAPIClient` / `LogosAPIConsumer` including the
+  automatic `capability_module.requestModule` token-fetch flow (behind the
+  protocol boundary: every language gets it for free).
+- **Provider-side plumbing** — `ModuleProxy` (auth gate the transports
+  publish) and the abstract `LogosProviderObject` interface
+  (`logos_provider_interface.h`).
+- **Token manager**, transport/registry factories, mode config
+  (remote/local/mock), and the canonical QVariant↔JSON conversion used at
+  the QRO boundary.
+
+`logos-cpp-sdk` layers the typed C++ developer API (`LogosAPI`, module
+context, code generator, provider base classes) on top of this repo.
+
+## Versioning
+
+This repo carries the **logos-protocol semver** — the single number that
+governs Logos load/call compatibility. Two participants (modules, hosts,
+SDKs in any language) interoperate **iff they share the same MAJOR**. MINOR
+is additive/back-compatible; PATCH never affects compatibility. SDKs must
+re-expose the version of the protocol they linked (never mint their own).
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Via workspace
+ws build logos-protocol
+
+# Standalone
+nix build
+
+# Tests
+nix build .#tests
+```
+
+## Layering invariant
+
+`logos-protocol` depends only on Qt / Boost / OpenSSL / nlohmann_json — it
+must NEVER depend on logos-cpp-sdk, logos-qt-sdk, logos-rust-sdk, liblogos
+or logos-lidl. Everything points inward.
