Seuls OrbitFlare puis Helius LaserStream gRPC sont actuellement planifiés comme releases provider suivantes ; les autres providers restent en TODO/IDEAS sans numéro réservé. Chaque prerelease vise 15–20 minutes de travail effectif et la release complète doit rester clôturable dans une seule session de chat.**

Cette décision évite de tirer prématurément la surface client/serveur Tonic générée et laisse `pre.003` choisir explicitement les features supplémentaires réellement nécessaires aux unary/TLS/metadata.
+La séparation reste intentionnelle : les messages Protobuf officiels sont consommés sans activer le client généré Yellowstone dans le runtime. La feature `tonic` du proto est réservée au graphe dev/test pour matérialiser le serveur Geyser de fixture. KSP utilise le dispatcher `tonic::client::Grpc` + `tonic-prost::ProstCodec` derrière sa façade N2 et conserve ainsi ses propres timeouts, redactions et erreurs.
 
 Un minimum Rust déclaré par une dépendance n'est enregistré que s'il devient un **blocage réel** lors de la compilation ; il n'est pas suivi comme métrique de release.

-Le choix est volontairement plus étroit que le forecast initial : `pre.002` matérialise les messages wire publiés et le channel HTTP/2 lazy, mais **pas encore le client RPC généré, TLS, metadata ou compression**. Les éventuelles features/dependencies supplémentaires doivent être justifiées par `pre.003` et vérifiées par `cargo tree`; elles ne sont pas activées par anticipation.
+`pre.003` n'active toujours ni client Yellowstone upstream ni compression. Les sept unary passent par une façade KSP au-dessus du channel N1 ; la surface `GeyserServer` générée n'existe que dans les tests pour prouver le wire exact localement. Le graphe Cargo doit être réinspecté après application parce que les features TLS et les deux dépendances directes `http`/`tonic-prost` changent le graphe runtime.
 
 Le premier gate opérateur de `pre.002` confirme l'alignement de versions utile : Tonic 0.14.6 réutilise `http` 1.5, `hyper` 1.11, `hyper-util` 0.1, `tower` 0.5 et `bytes` 1.12 déjà présents ; `yellowstone-grpc-proto` unifie `solana-pubkey` en 4.3.0. Les occurrences Prost 0.14.4 visibles dans `cargo tree --duplicates` correspondent aux contextes runtime/build de la même version, notamment `prost-build`/`tonic-prost-build`, et ne constituent pas une seconde génération de version à corriger.
