4.1.0's HTTP RPC for browsers capped at inline payloads (≤ 256 KiB).
4.2.0 unlocks streams: server queues outbound chunks + control
envelopes per peer, browser long-polls the queue. Browser-to-server
writes ride the existing /v1/transfer/<id>/chunk POST routes
unchanged.
For Dispatch this unlocks mod-jar uploads (50 MB) and world-backup
downloads (100+ MB) — the actual reason browser-side @shade/files
matters.
### New API
@shade/sdk:
- shade.transferQueueRoute(opts?) — Hono app with /queue +
/v1/transfer/* routes. Auto-configures the queue transport.
- shade.configureTransfers extended: transport + envelopeTransport
override slots; resolveBaseUrl optional when both supplied.
@shade/transfer:
- OutboundQueue — per-peer monotonic event log with long-poll
semantics, idle-eviction GC, ring-buffered to maxEventsPerPeer.
- QueueTransferTransport — enqueues instead of POSTing.
@shade/files:
- httpClient({ outboundQueueUrl, transferBaseUrl }) — when set,
starts a long-poll drainer + builds a streams-bridge. fs.read /
fs.write of >256 KiB work end-to-end.
- startQueueDrainer(shade, opts) — exported helper for advanced
consumers driving their own drainer.
### Implementation notes
- ClientStreamsBridge's TransformStream had HWM=0 by default which
stalled the drainer's await chain at chunk 4 (writer.write pended
before the consumer's reader was attached). Bumped to HWM=64 so
the receive loop can buffer ahead of the consumer.
### Tests
3 new integration tests in tests/integration/http-rpc-streams.test.ts:
4 MiB streamed read round-trip, inline-only error path, idle-timeout
long-poll behaviour.
Wire-compatible. Source-compatible. Lockstep bump to 4.2.0.

@shade/transport-webrtc
V3.11 — direct peer-to-peer chunk transport for Shade transfers via
RTCDataChannel. Plugs into @shade/transfer's ITransferTransport
contract and wires automatically into @shade/sdk via
shade.configureWebRTC().
import { createShade } from '@shade/sdk';
import { nativeRtcFactory } from '@shade/transport-webrtc';
const shade = await createShade({ prekeyServer });
shade.configureWebRTC({ factory: nativeRtcFactory() });
shade.configureTransfers({ resolveBaseUrl });
await shade.upload({ to: 'bob', input: file }); // → P2P when NAT allows,
// HTTP otherwise.
See docs/webrtc.md for the full guide: NAT-traversal realities, TURN config, glare resolution, wire format, diagnostics, and end-to-end test recipes.
What's inside
WebRtcConnection— one peer connection between two Shade endpoints, driving offer/answer/ICE through Shade's own ratchet.WebRtcConnectionManager— per-peer pool with deterministic glare resolution.WebRtcSignalingChannel— JSON signaling messages multiplexed overShade.send/Shade.onMessage.WebRtcTransferTransport— implementsITransferTransportover the managed DataChannel; ack-correlated by 16-byte requestId tokens.MemoryRtcFactory— in-process WebRTC simulator for tests.nativeRtcFactory()— adapter overglobalThis.RTCPeerConnection(browsers / Deno / Cloudflare Workers).
Adapters
@shade/transport-webrtc ships only the standard-API adapter
(nativeRtcFactory). For Bun / Node, wrap your library of choice
behind the IRtcFactory interface — only createPeerConnection,
createDataChannel, and standard addEventListener are required.
