Typed request/response between workspace apps over HTTP, behind a Transport seam so gRPC stays additive rather than a rewrite. Contracts live in the workspace's shared package and are imported by both sides, so types flow through a normal import with no code generator. Consumes the exportSubjectContext/importSubjectContext seam the permissions system reserved, with one improvement on what that seam implied: the token carries sub and tenant only, never roles. Every app shares the PermissionStore, so the callee resolves roles itself - a stale or forged roles claim becomes impossible by construction and there is no path to injecting privileges through a claim. The token authenticates; it never authorizes. Records two properties that are easy to get wrong and expensive to discover: /__wrnexus/rpc/* must be unreachable from the public internet, blocked at the gateway AND verified at the app, or every permission check in the workspace is bypassable; and only procedures explicitly marked idempotent may be retried, because retrying a slow createInvoice is how a customer gets billed twice. Deliberately does not wrap pubsub or queue - they work, and an abstraction over working code leaks and needs keeping in sync. They gain identity propagation instead.

WRNexusJS
WRNexusJS is a compiler-driven, SSR-first, Bun-native full-stack framework for building secure, fast, maintainable applications with .wrn pages, layouts, components, stores, server functions, client functions, typed outputs, APIs, validation, authentication, realtime rooms, and production tooling.
Current framework version: 0.8.0
Core principles
- Secure by default with CSP, CSRF, safe serialization, URL policies, request limits, SSRF protection, secret scanning, and release gates.
- Performance-first SSR with zero framework JavaScript for static pages and selective hydration for interactive pages.
- One compiler-understood
.wrnmodel for markup, props, state, outputs, and runtime-specific functions. - Backward-compatible package upgrades with migrations, generated references, validation scripts, and private publishing controls.
- Package kits that give developers public helpers, package tests, documentation, and complete UI blocks where a package has a developer-facing interface.
Quick start
bun install
bun run validate:0.8
bun run check
bun run dev
Create or upgrade a project:
bunx @wrnexus/cli@0.8.0 create my-app
bunx @wrnexus/cli@0.8.0 update --version=0.8.0 --report
Package kits in 0.8
All 39 framework packages expose a documented helper/API surface and package tests. UI-facing packages additionally own complete .wrn blocks composed from @wrnexus/ui:
@wrnexus/auth— complete account, sign-in, sign-up, MFA, passkey, recovery, device, provider, and security blocks.@wrnexus/captcha— challenge, field, status, extraction, verification, response, and context helpers.@wrnexus/i18n— recursive locale loading, fallback chains, request resolution, SSR/browser translations, language controls, and formatters.@wrnexus/image— responsive picture plans, secure loaders, placeholders, preload hints, audits, and image blocks.@wrnexus/realtime— typed messages, room connections, presence, typing, metadata, composer, status, and message blocks.@wrnexus/uploader— upload attributes, result validation, formatting, dropzone, and status blocks.@wrnexus/validation— parse/throw helpers, consistent error responses, summaries, and field errors.@wrnexus/ui— the complete shared design-system component catalog.
Infrastructure packages remain helper/API-only so database, encryption, security, compiler, server, and build packages do not pull browser UI into production server code.
Security note for encrypted HTTP bodies
@wrnexus/encryption supports authenticated application-layer request and response envelopes with method, path, request-ID, timestamp, expiry, key-rotation, body-size, and replay binding.
This feature does not replace HTTPS. It is appropriate for service-to-service calls, native/mobile clients, controlled agents, or selected fields with server-managed keys. It cannot hide data from an end user when a browser receives the decryption key.
