ascent-wire (JavaScript)

Browser / Node codec for the ASCENT wire standard (2.1.0), including SkyPulse PATHHINT.

Install

npm install ascent-wire

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ascent-wire

From monorepo: cd packages/ascent-js && npm test

API

const { AscentCodec, AscentRS, AscentDLab } = require("ascent-wire");

const wire = AscentCodec.encodeText("Hello, Universe.\n", {
  header: true,
  roleName: "guide",
  nonAscii: "v",
});
const events = AscentCodec.decodeStream(wire);
const hint = AscentCodec.canonicalPathhintBytes(false);
const frame = AscentDLab.encodeP9(wire);

PATHHINT is LEO foresight for usable session bandwidth, not an RF Mbps upgrade. Prefer AscentCodec.recommendIntegrity("ASCENT-E-LEO") on Starlink IP (light CRC or short RS; no full P9 RS). next_capacity is predicted sender bottleneck bits/s.

Sources stay in lockstep with site/public/ via npm run sync-from-site.

Golden lock

Must stay bit-identical with Python ref/ packing.
