A fetch-only network layer

Breaking Change Enhancement

In one line. ARDOR no longer ships an axios transport, and the socket client now lives on its own import path, so import '@venizia/ardor' needs no HTTP client and no optional dependency installed.

What changed

• The axios transport is removed. AxiosNetworkRequest, AxiosFetcher, IAxiosRequestOptions and IAxiosNetworkOptions no longer exist, and axios is not a peer dependency of any ARDOR package. fetch is the only transport.
• The socket client moved to a sub-path. Import SocketIOClientHelper and ISocketIOClientOptions from @venizia/ardor/socket-io (or @venizia/ardor-kernel/socket-io) instead of the package root.
• Nothing extra to install. The root import used to pull axios and socket.io-client, so an application had to install two packages declared optional before it could import ARDOR at all.
• TFetcherVariant is now 'node-fetch' alone. BaseNetworkRequest<T> stays generic over it, so you can still add your own transport.

Who is affected

• Applications that use the default data provider or network service. No action needed - they were already on fetch.
• Applications that imported SocketIOClientHelper from the package root. Change the import path; the class itself is unchanged.
• Applications that used AxiosNetworkRequest or AxiosFetcher. Build the transport on fetch, or keep an axios helper in your own codebase.

Breaking changes

WARNING

Two public classes moved or disappeared. Neither is used by the default data provider, auth provider or i18n provider.

Before:

import { AxiosNetworkRequest, SocketIOClientHelper } from '@venizia/ardor';

// ...
const request = new AxiosNetworkRequest({ name: 'legacy', networkOptions: { baseUrl } });
const socket = new SocketIOClientHelper({ host, options });

After:

// Written for 0.3.x; both classes are IGNIS's since 2026-10-25.
import { NodeFetchNetworkRequest } from '@venizia/ardor';
import { SocketIOClientHelper } from '@venizia/ardor/socket-io';
// ...

const request = new NodeFetchNetworkRequest({
  name: 'reporting',
  networkOptions: { baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com' },
});

const socket = new SocketIOClientHelper({
  identifier: 'reporting',
  host: 'https://api.example.com',
  options: { path: '/socket.io', extraHeaders: {} },
});

socket.io-client stays an optional peer, and is now genuinely optional: install it only if you import the ./socket-io sub-path.
