Runtime summary

Area	Value	Evidence
Public implementation	Python package with a src/ layout	pyproject.toml, src/miniproto/__init__.py
Python runtime	CPython 3.13+; CI covers 3.13, 3.14 and GIL-disabled 3.14t	pyproject.toml, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Native runtime	Rust 2024 edition, minimum Rust 1.98, compiled as the miniproto_native cdylib	rust/miniproto/Cargo.toml
Python build system	Maturin/PyO3 mixed Python-Rust package	pyproject.toml, rust/miniproto/Cargo.toml
Package managers	uv for Python, Cargo for Rust, the current pnpm 11 release for the site	uv.lock, Cargo.lock, docs-site/package.json
Documentation frontend	Astro 7.2.2 and Starlight 0.41.7, statically prerendered with Pagefind 1.5.2	docs-site/package.json, docs-site/astro.config.ts
Documentation Node runtime	The current Node.js 26 release with strict Astro TypeScript configuration	docs-site/.node-version, docs-site/tsconfig.json
Documentation container	Node.js 26.7.0 on Alpine 3.24 for the optional source build; unprivileged NGINX 1.31.3 on Alpine 3.24 for the static runtime	docs-site/Dockerfile, docs-site/nginx.conf

The Python API is the supported product surface. The Rust crate is packaged primarily as the private miniproto._native acceleration module; its 0.1.x public Rust API is not separately stability-promised. Nightly Rust is used only to generate rustdoc JSON and does not replace stable Rust for builds, tests, wheels or releases.

Production frameworks and dependencies

Dependency	Version policy	Role	Evidence
cryptography	Exactly 50.0.0, except Windows ARM64 until an upstream wheel is available	Supported crypto/session fallback and CFFI dependency	pyproject.toml
uvloop	Exactly 0.22.1 on Linux/macOS	Optional optimized asyncio loop selected lazily	pyproject.toml, src/miniproto/event_loop.py
winloop	Exactly 0.6.3 on Windows	Optional optimized asyncio loop selected lazily	pyproject.toml, src/miniproto/event_loop.py
PyO3	~0.29.2 with experimental async support	Python extension bindings and free-threaded compatibility	rust/miniproto/Cargo.toml
RustCrypto AES/GCM/cipher/hash/Scrypt crates	Exact or compatible versions in Cargo metadata and lockfile	Native MTProto, hashing and protected-session operations	rust/miniproto/Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock
SQLite	Python standard-library sqlite3	Per-domain encrypted durable session storage	src/miniproto/session/storage.py

There is no application web framework, ORM, remote database client, telemetry exporter or message-queue dependency in the runtime package. Telegram MTProto is the external service protocol; asyncio streams own network I/O.

Development toolchain

Tool	Purpose	Evidence
Ruff 0.16.3	Python formatting, imports, linting, security/style rules	pyproject.toml, uv.lock
ty 0.0.72	Python static type checking against Python 3.13 semantics	pyproject.toml, uv.lock
pytest 9.1.1	Unit, fake-server, integration, stress, workflow and documentation tests	pyproject.toml, tests/
Maturin 1.15.0	Editable native builds, wheels and source distributions	pyproject.toml, .github/workflows/build-wheels.yml
Griffe 2.2.0 + griffe2md 1.5.0	Static Python API extraction and Markdown rendering without importing the package	pyproject.toml, tools/docs/generate_python.py
Nightly Rust + cargo-docs-md	Rustdoc JSON extraction and Markdown fragments for committed Rust reference pages	tools/docs/generate_rust.py
Astro/Starlight/Pagefind/Playwright/Sharp	Static docs, search, browser acceptance and deterministic brand derivatives	docs-site/package.json, docs-site/playwright.config.ts
Oxfmt 0.63.0 + Oxlint 1.78.0	Formatting for supported docs-site files and type-aware linting for maintained TypeScript	docs-site/package.json, docs-site/oxfmt.config.ts, docs-site/oxlint.config.ts
Jiti 2.7.0 + @types/node 26.2.0	Direct execution and Node.js typing for the docs-site TypeScript helper CLIs	docs-site/package.json, docs-site/scripts/
GitHub Actions	Python/Rust quality, benchmarks, schema freshness, docs, live opt-ins, attested dispatch-only release artifacts and protected OIDC publication	.github/workflows/

Key commands

uv sync --extra dev,docs --frozen
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run ruff check .
uv run ty check
uv run pytest
pnpm --dir docs-site format:check
pnpm --dir docs-site lint
pnpm --dir docs-site check

cargo test --workspace --all-features
uv run miniproto-docs --check --build --skip-install
uv run miniproto-release-artifacts --help
uv run miniproto-release-check --offline --artifacts-dir .tmp/release-offline

Every executable Python tool is registered under [project.scripts] and must expose side-effect-free --help. Use the focused commands in the development guide when an aggregate stage fails.

Environment and configuration

• Public client configuration is immutable ClientConfig/TransportConfig data. Credentials, session storage, timeouts, queue bounds, retry limits, datacenter selection and media budgets enter through those objects; see src/miniproto/config.py.
• Durable default storage obtains its key from constructor material or MINIPROTO_SESSION_KEY. Live/integration/benchmark environment names are documented in .env.example; the real .env is ignored and must not be inspected, committed or copied into artifacts.
• Normal operation is a Python process with network access to Telegram and filesystem access only when durable sessions or path downloads are selected. The documentation artifact is static and has no runtime Node/Python/Rust/search service dependency.
• The checked-in documentation container serves the prepared root-base artifact as unprivileged UID 101 on port 6743. Its default target packages docs-site/dist/; the optional source-runtime target builds the same artifact with Node.js and pnpm inside Alpine before copying only the static files into NGINX. It is a documentation deployment image, not a container contract for the Python SDK or its wheel matrix.
• No Kubernetes, Compose or other orchestration configuration is checked in. Wheel automation uses GitHub-hosted runners and official manylinux/musllinux build environments independently of the documentation image.
