TransportKind

Defined in: src/types.ts:35

Coarse identifier of the transport binding a VgiRpcServer or HTTP handler. Workers (RPC implementations) read this via CallContext.kind or the ServeStartHook lifecycle hook to tailor startup behaviour (skip HTTP-only caching, enable transport-specific metrics, etc.).

Values are wire/log-friendly strings to match Python’s TransportKind StrEnum byte-for-byte across language boundaries.

• PIPE — Stdio worker (the standalone VgiRpcServer loop).
• HTTP — Fetch-style HTTP handler (createHttpHandler).
• UNIX — AF_UNIX socket handler (the launcher path).
• TCP — AF_INET socket handler. Raw Arrow-IPC framing over a bare TCP socket — no auth/TLS; use HTTP for untrusted networks.
