+# dash-platform-queries
+
+Transport-free query core of the Dash Platform SDK.
+
+This crate carries the pieces of `dash-sdk` that build queries, encode them
+onto the wire format, and decode/verify proved responses — with **no
+transport implementation**: no `rs-dapi-client` and no tonic native
+channel/TLS stack. Shared generated types and context-provider utilities
+remain dependencies. `dash-sdk` depends on it and re-exports everything at
+the historical paths, so SDK users need no changes.
+
+## Who this is for
+
+Embedders that bring their own transport and trust context and only need the
+verification/query layer:
+
+- **Dash Core's platform GUI** — fetches over its own gRPC-Web transport,
+  serves quorum keys from its locally synced LLMQ state via a
+  [`ContextProvider`](../rs-context-provider), and verifies every response
+  proof with [`drive-proof-verifier`](../rs-drive-proof-verifier).
+- Block explorers, Electrum-style servers, hardware-wallet tooling — anything
+  that talks to DAPI its own way but must not trust responses.
+
+If you want networking, retries, and a managed connection pool, use
+`dash-sdk` — it consumes this crate internally.
+
+## What's here
+
+- [`documents::DocumentQuery`] — rich document query builder with wire
+  encoding for both request versions.
+- Aggregate proof helpers (count/sum/average/ranked) shared with `dash-sdk`.
+- DPNS username helpers — label normalization/validation and the
+  convertibility/contested checks shared with `dash-sdk`.
+- `transition::validation` — structural validation for state transitions
+  ahead of signing.
+
+Wire-request decoding (`DocumentQuery::try_from_request`), request-driven
+proof verification, and pure DPNS/DashPay document builders arrive in the
+next slice of this series.
+
+## Feature flags
+
+- `mocks` — serde support for the types used in dump/replay test vectors
+  (forwarded by `dash-sdk`'s `mocks`).
+
+The dependency tree is checked in CI to stay free of the transport stack
+(`hyper`, `rustls`, `tower`); see the "Check transport-free feature cuts"
+step in `.github/workflows/tests-rs-workspace.yml`.
+
+"Transport-free" means no networking stack, not an async-runtime-free graph:
+`tokio` is still reachable on native targets through
+`dash-context-provider` → `dash-async`, exactly as it already was for
+`drive-proof-verifier` before this crate existed. `tonic` is present too, but
+only for `dapi-grpc`'s generated message/client types — its transport feature
+stays off, which is what the `hyper`/`rustls`/`tower` assertions prove. On
+`wasm32-unknown-unknown` none of that is pulled in; the wasm assertions in the
+same CI step also ban `mio`.

+/// # Parameters
+/// - `response_metadata`: A reference to `ResponseMetadata` obtained from a platform response.
+///   This metadata includes various block-related information such as time in milliseconds,
+///   height, core chain locked height, and epoch.
+///
+/// # Returns
+/// If successful, returns `Ok(BlockInfo)` where `BlockInfo` contains:
+/// - `time_ms`: The timestamp of the block in milliseconds.
+/// - `height`: The height of the block.
+/// - `core_height`: The core chain locked height, indicating the height of the block in the core blockchain that is considered final and securely linked to this block.
+/// - `epoch`: The epoch number, converted to an `Epoch` struct via a 16-bit number.

+/// # Errors
+/// Returns an error if:
+/// - The `epoch` value in the response metadata exceeds `MAX_EPOCH`. This is considered a data validity error as it indicates Platform returned an unexpectedly high epoch number.
+///
+/// The function encapsulates errors into the application's own `Error` type, providing a unified interface for error handling across the application.
