Overview

Documentation-only update to the SDK feature matrix and changelog recording in-review status for hardware-acceleration detection in the Rust and TypeScript SDKs (LAB-523).

Matrix changes (sdk-feature-matrix.md)

  • Encryption → Hardware acceleration detection row: Rust cell moves from ⚠️ core-internal, not re-exported and TypeScript from ❌ not exposed to 🚧 in review, each naming the proposed accessor and the open PR, while explicitly restating what the published artifacts contain (crates.io 0.7.0 — core-internal probe only; npm 0.1.5 — nothing). Python (✅ surfaced) and Go (N/A) are unchanged.
  • Header date: Last updated advanced from 2026-09-02 (LAB-687) to 2026-09-22, with the prior reconciliation entries retained as lineage.

Footnote ⁶ rewrite

The footnote is substantially expanded beyond a status update and now documents previously unrecorded behaviour:

  • Names the core accessor as ZeroKnowledgeEncryptor::hardware_acceleration_enabled() and drops the stale core.rs:243 / encryption_wrapper.py:583 line references.
  • Documents per-architecture semantics: runtime is_x86_feature_detected!("aes") on x86/x86_64, cfg!(target_feature = "neon") on aarch64, always false on wasm32.
  • Records the aarch64 false-positive: because every aarch64 target enables NEON, the flag reports true regardless of Crypto Extension support (e.g. Cortex-A72-class hardware reports true while ring executes software AES). Scoped to every published cachekit-core through 0.6.0, with the fix (cachekit-core#77, LAB-4650) noted as merged to core main but unreleased.
  • States the flag is informational only — ring/aes-gcm select implementations independently of it.
  • Notes the TypeScript accessor's null return (unknown, not false) when the installed binding predates the accessor, and that EncryptionManagerCore.isHardwareAccelerated() initialises on demand.
  • Substitutes executed-test citations (encryption.protocol.workers.test.ts for the wasm32 claim; encryption.rs unit tests for the x86_64 pin) for the prior mechanism-traced assertion.
  • Records the registry check date (2026-09-22) and the promotion path: 🚧 unreleased on merge, ✅ with a version floor on release, per decisions/matrix-version-verification.md.

Changelog

New Unreleased entry under ### Encryption — hardware-acceleration detection surfacing in rs/ts (LAB-523) mirroring the cell transitions, the referenced PRs (cachekit-rs#80, cachekit-ts#132), and the footnote rewrite rationale.

Notes

No normative spec text or Overview table cells were touched; published-artifact claims are unchanged, so no version floors were added.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the feature matrix and changelog with the review status of proposed Rust and TypeScript hardware-detection accessors.
    • Clarified that the accessors are not available in the published Rust 0.7.0 and npm 0.1.5 packages.
    • Added details on architecture-specific detection behaviour, its informational-only status, and supporting tests.

…w (LAB-523)

The Hardware acceleration detection row said rs is core-internal and ts
exposes nothing. Both are now being surfaced in open PRs; the published
artifacts (crates.io 0.7.0, npm 0.1.5, checked 2026-09-22) are unchanged,
so the cells move to 'in review' with the PR links, not to a checkmark,
per decisions/matrix-version-verification.md. Footnote 6 rewritten to name
the core accessor, its per-architecture behaviour, the informational-only
contract, and the executed tests behind the wasm32/x86_64 claims.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Adds an Unreleased changelog entry describing Rust and TypeScript hardware-acceleration detection APIs and their statuses, noting that published artifacts still expose neither API. Rewrites footnote ⁶ to state the accessor’s per-architecture behaviour, informational-only status, and supporting tests, replacing stale line references and a traced mechanism.
  • observed — Modified behavior in sdk-feature-matrix.md: The update note advances from 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-27 and records the LAB-523 review status for Rust and TypeScript hardware-detection accessors.
  • observed — Modified behavior in sdk-feature-matrix.md: The Rust and TypeScript cells change from describing unavailable accessors to marking the Rust accessor in review and the TypeScript accessor unreleased, while stating that neither is exposed by the cited published release.
  • observed — Modified behavior in sdk-feature-matrix.md: The hardware-detection note replaces the brief account of Python-only exposure with architecture-specific probe behaviour, including the aarch64 and wasm32 results and the probe’s informational status. It distinguishes published-artifact support from the Rust and TypeScript accessor status, and adds details about the TypeScript accessor’s bindings and null result when the installed binding lacks it.

Review of the SDK PRs found core's aarch64 branch returns
cfg!(target_feature = "neon"), which every aarch64 target enables, so
the flag is true on every aarch64 build regardless of the Crypto
Extension. The footnote said 'compile-time target features on aarch64',
which is technically what it is and practically misleading; it now says
what a reader on a Cortex-A72 board needs to know and names the core
follow-up.
27Bslash6 added a commit to cachekit-io/cachekit-core that referenced this pull request Sep 22, 2026
…of NEON (LAB-4650) (#77)

## Problem

`ZeroKnowledgeEncryptor::detect_hardware_acceleration()` on aarch64
without a compile-time `aes` target feature returned
`cfg!(target_feature = "neon")`. NEON is a default target feature on
every aarch64 target (`rustc --print cfg --target
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`), so `hardware_acceleration_enabled()` was a
compile-time constant `true` on every aarch64 build. Cortex-A72-class
parts (Raspberry Pi 3/4) have NEON but no Crypto Extension: they
reported "hardware accelerated" while `ring` ran software AES. The one
platform class where the flag is useful for triage is the one where it
answered wrong.

## Change

- The aarch64 branch now uses
`std::arch::is_aarch64_feature_detected!("aes")` (stable since Rust
1.60; MSRV is 1.85). The compile-time `#[cfg(target_feature = "aes")] →
true` short-circuit is unchanged.
- First unit test for the flag:
`test_hardware_acceleration_matches_platform_probe` pins
`hardware_acceleration_enabled()` to the platform's own runtime probe on
x86/x86_64 and aarch64. Both `std::arch` probes fold to const `true`
when `aes` is enabled at compile time, so the same assertion covers the
short-circuit path (verified locally with `RUSTFLAGS="-C
target-feature=+aes"`).
- Docs: `OperationMetrics::hardware_accelerated` claimed acceleration
"was used (for SHA, AES, etc.)"; it now says what the bool is (the CPU
reports AES hardware; informational, the crypto backend dispatches on
its own). The module doc names the Armv8 Crypto Extension alongside
AES-NI.

Crypto dispatch is unchanged; the flag stays informational.

## Verification

- `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings`,
`cargo test --all-features`, `cargo test --features ffi`, `cargo doc
--all-features --no-deps`: green on x86_64.
- The macOS arm64 CI lane compiles the short-circuit (`aes` is a default
feature on `aarch64-apple-darwin`), not the new probe line. The probe
expression was compiled for `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` with `rustc
--emit=metadata` and passes clippy `-D warnings` there in a scratch
crate; a bogus feature name fails to compile, so the feature string is
checked at build time.

## Downstream

cachekit-rs, cachekit-ts and the protocol matrix currently document the
aarch64 behaviour as "`true` on every aarch64 build (NEON check)" dated
to core 0.6
([cachekit-rs#80](cachekit-io/cachekit-rs#80),
[cachekit-ts#132](cachekit-io/cachekit-ts#132),
[protocol#68](cachekit-io/protocol#68)). Those
caveats can be retired once this ships in a core release.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved detection of AES hardware acceleration on Arm64 devices by
checking the processor’s AES capability directly.
- Hardware acceleration reporting now more accurately reflects platform
support.

- **Documentation**
  - Documented Armv8 Crypto Extension support alongside AES-NI.
- Clarified that hardware acceleration status is informational and
reflects available AES CPU support.

<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Both conflicts were independent edits, resolved as unions with nothing dropped:
- CHANGELOG.md: each side added an Unreleased section at the same anchor; keep both, this PR's first.
- sdk-feature-matrix.md: adjacent-row edits; keep main's secure.wrap() enforcement row and this PR's hardware-acceleration detection row.

…B-523)

cachekit-ts#132 merged to main on 2026-09-25, so the TypeScript cell,
footnote 6 and the CHANGELOG entry no longer describe it as in review or
"not on main". npm still ships 0.1.5, which has no accessor, so the cell
moves to unreleased rather than to a version floor. cachekit-rs#80 is still
open, so the Rust cell stays in review. Published artifacts were re-checked
on 2026-09-27: crates.io cachekit-rs 0.7.0, cachekit-core 0.6.0, npm 0.1.5.
