Summary

Add all missing ecosystem dependencies to vcpkg.json and specify OpenSSL version requirements for vcpkg registry distribution.

5W1H Specification

• Who: network_system maintainers
• What: Add 4 ecosystem dependencies, specify OpenSSL 3.x requirement, standardize vcpkg.json
• Where: vcpkg.json
• When: Q1 2025, Tier 4 priority
• Why:
  • All 4 ecosystem dependencies listed as "required" in README but missing from vcpkg.json
  • OpenSSL 3.x recommended but not specified in manifest
  • vcpkg build will fail without declared dependencies
• How:
  1. Add all ecosystem dependencies
  2. Specify OpenSSL version constraint
  3. Update vcpkg.json to standard format

Current Issues

Missing Ecosystem Dependencies (CRITICAL)

README.md states:

Required Dependencies:

• common_system: Result, IExecutor
• thread_system: Async I/O worker pools
• logger_system: Network event logging
• container_system: Message serialization

Current vcpkg.json dependencies:

• Only external libraries (asio, fmt, etc.)
• ZERO ecosystem dependencies declared

OpenSSL Version

README.md states:

OpenSSL 3.x recommended for TLS 1.3 and QUIC support

vcpkg.json:

• OpenSSL not version-constrained

Tasks

• Add kcenon-common-system to dependencies
• Add kcenon-thread-system to dependencies
• Add kcenon-logger-system to dependencies
• Add kcenon-container-system to dependencies
• Specify OpenSSL version>=3.0.0
• Add version field
• Update vcpkg.json to standard format
• Verify vcpkg manifest mode build succeeds

Acceptance Criteria

• vcpkg.json includes all 4 ecosystem dependencies
• OpenSSL version constraint specified
• vcpkg.json follows ecosystem standard template
• vcpkg install --manifest-mode succeeds
