Problem domain

Messaging involves more than delivery: conversation membership, client state and message lifecycle must remain coherent across service boundaries.

Engineering objectives
  • Model conversations and message lifecycle explicitly.
  • Separate client interaction state from service coordination.
  • Make communication workflows and state transitions understandable.
Conceptual architecture

Client interaction models connect to a conversation service and message lifecycle coordinator. Communication state is represented separately from delivery events and client-visible updates.

Messaging service boundaries. Client actions, conversation authority and message delivery are separate parts of one lifecycle.
Client
  1. Compose
  2. Conversation view
  3. Delivery state
Service
  1. Membership context
  2. Message lifecycle
  3. Delivery coordination
State
  1. Accepted event
  2. Client update
  3. Conversation history
Processing / execution lifecycle
  1. Compose
  2. Conversation authorization
  3. Message acceptance
  4. Delivery coordination
  5. Client state update
  6. Conversation history
Technical principles
  • Explicit conversation state
  • Clear service boundaries
  • Lifecycle-aware delivery
  • Private information minimization
Operational considerations

Retries, ordering, delivery acknowledgements and client reconnection are important operational states. The public overview avoids asserting a specific cryptographic implementation.

Security, reliability & disclosure

Private user information and cryptographic secrets are not included in public documentation.
