Summary

Create C++20 module files for network_system as part of the Tier 4 libraries.

Parent Epic

Part of kcenon/common_system#256 (C++20 Module Migration - Cross-System Preparation)

Prerequisites

• [MODULE] Create C++20 module files for kcenon.common common_system#269 - common_system module (Tier 0)
• [MODULE] Create C++20 module files for kcenon.thread thread_system#371 - thread_system module (Tier 1)
• [MODULE] Create C++20 module files for kcenon.container container_system#222 - container_system module (Tier 1)
• [MODULE] Create C++20 module files for kcenon.logger logger_system#275 - logger_system module (Tier 2, optional)

Proposed Module Structure

// Primary module interface
export module kcenon.network;

import kcenon.common;           // Required
import kcenon.thread;           // Required
import kcenon.logger;           // Optional
import kcenon.container;        // Optional
import kcenon.monitoring;       // Optional

export import kcenon.network.core;
export import kcenon.network.tcp;
export import kcenon.network.udp;
export import kcenon.network.ssl;

        src/modules/ssl.cppm
)

Tasks

• Wait for Tier 0/1 module completion
• Create module directory structure
• Create module files
• Update CMakeLists.txt for module support
• Verify no circular module dependencies
• Update all tests to use modules
• Update documentation

Acceptance Criteria

• Module builds successfully with CMake 3.28+
• Successfully imports dependent modules
• All existing tests pass with module
• No circular dependencies
• Header-based build still works (transition period)

Migration Timeline

This is Phase 2 work (Release N+4) per EPIC:

• Blocked by: Tier 0/1/2 modules
