C++ client SDK: RAII channel lifecycle, async, language-idiomatic exception hierarchy, Conan/vcpkg packages
-
Java client SDK: builder patterns for requests, CompletableFuture, Maven Central artifacts
-
Channel lifecycle handling across languages: timeouts, deadline propagation, reconnection logic, TLS/mTLS configuration

Client/server version-skew compatibility tables—published policies on client-server version support, automated compatibility tests
-
Semantic versioning aligned with the platform architect, deprecation policy enforcement with linter warnings, migration guides
-
Simulation-mode toggle inside the client: same proto interface, simulation backend for offline app development
