## Architecture

The project is split into a **server** (connects to the radio hardware) and a **client** (exposes user-facing frontends). They communicate over a JSON TCP connection (default port 4530). Audio streams over a separate TCP connection (default port 4531) using Opus encoding.

### Data flow

```
Radio hardware
    ↕ serial/TCP
trx-server (rig_task.rs)
    ↕ trx-protocol JSON-TCP (port 4530)
trx-client (remote_client.rs)
    ↕ internal channels
Frontends: HTTP (8080), rigctl (4532), http-json (ephemeral)
```

### trx-core controller

The rig controller (`src/trx-core/src/rig/controller/`) is the central state management component:

- **`machine.rs`** — `RigMachineState` enum with states: `Disconnected`, `Connecting`, `Initializing`, `PoweredOff`, `Ready`, `Transmitting`, `Error`
- **`handlers.rs`** — `RigCommandHandler` trait; commands: `SetFreq`, `SetMode`, `SetPtt`, `PowerOn/Off`, `ToggleVfo`, `Lock/Unlock`, `GetSnapshot`, etc.
- **`events.rs`** — `RigListener` trait and `RigEventEmitter` for broadcasting frequency/mode/PTT/state/meter/lock/power changes
- **`policies.rs`** — `RetryPolicy` (`ExponentialBackoff`, `FixedDelay`, `NoRetry`) and `PollingPolicy` (`AdaptivePolling`, `FixedPolling`, `NoPolling`)

### Decoders

Signal decoders run as background tasks in `trx-server`, consuming decoded audio. `trx-ftx` provides the FT8/FT4/FT2 decoder in pure Rust. Decoded frames can be forwarded to PSKReporter and APRS-IS (IGate) uplinks, or logged via `trx-decode-log`.

## Commit Format

```
[<type>](<crate>): <description>
```

Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`. Use `(trx-rs)` for repo-wide changes. Sign commits with `git commit -s`. Write isolated commits per crate.

## Codebase Review Observations

Full architecture documentation: `docs/architecture.md`
Improvement plan: `docs/improvement-plan.md`

### Strengths

- **Explicit state machine**: `RigMachineState` FSM prevents invalid states with a deterministic transition table and exhaustive matching. Well-tested with lifecycle, error recovery, and invalid transition tests.
- **Trait-based polymorphism**: Clean abstraction boundaries (`RigCat`, `RigSdr`, `AudioSource`, `RigListener`, `RigCommandHandler`, `CommandExecutor`, `TokenValidator`, `FrontendSpawner`) enable loose coupling and testability.
- **Multi-rig architecture**: Per-rig task isolation with `HashMap<rig_id, RigHandle>` routing, per-rig state/spectrum/audio watch channels, and backward-compatible single-rig mode.
- **Async concurrency model**: Proper use of tokio channels -- `watch` for state snapshots, `broadcast` for PCM/decode fan-out, `mpsc` for commands. No mutex contention on hot paths.
- **Comprehensive SDR support**: Full DSP pipeline with multi-mode demodulation (SSB, AM, SAM, FM, WFM, AIS, VDES), virtual channel management, squelch, noise blanker, spectrum FFT, RDS decoding.
- **Pure Rust decoders**: FT8/FT4/FT2, APRS, CW, WSPR, AIS, VDES, RDS -- all implemented without C FFI dependencies.
- **Good test coverage** in protocol layer: codec, mapping, auth all have thorough unit tests with round-trip verification.
- **Feature-gated backends**: ft817, ft450d, soapysdr compiled conditionally to minimize binary size.

### Areas for Improvement

- **FrontendRuntimeContext** (`trx-frontend/src/lib.rs`) is a 60+ field god-struct mixing audio, decode, auth, UI config, and per-rig routing. Should be decomposed into sub-structs.
- **Dual command enums**: `ClientCommand` and `RigCommand` are near-identical 40+ variant enums with mechanical 1:1 mapping in `mapping.rs`. Adding a command requires 4-file changes.
- **Command handler boilerplate**: 11 implementations of `RigCommandHandler` follow identical patterns across 500+ lines. A macro could reduce this to ~100 lines.
- **No integration tests** for `rig_task.rs` (1050 lines) or `audio.rs` (850+ lines) -- the most critical server components.
- **No command execution timeouts** at the `CommandExecutor` level. Backend stalls propagate up. The 10s timeout only exists at the rig_task layer.
- **Event emitter not panic-safe**: If one `RigListener` panics, remaining listeners in the notification loop are skipped.
- **Sparse structured logging** in trx-core: only one `debug!()` call. State transitions, command execution, and retries are not instrumented.
- **No command rate limiting**: rapid-fire commands from clients can overwhelm slow serial CAT interfaces.
