Split open4d.streaming into open4d.rgbd and open4d.transport

[ryanmkim]

Renames open4d/streaming to open4d/rgbd (RGB-D pipeline) and moves the TCP frame protocol to open4d/transport. open4d.stream is now browser-only; use open4d.send for TCP. Also removes the empty reconstruction/rgbd leftover.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • RGB-D reconstruction is available through the dedicated RGB-D interface.
  • TCP mesh transfer is available through separate send and receive interfaces.

• Changes

  • Browser streaming and TCP mesh transfer now use separate interfaces. Passing a TCP address to browser streaming is no longer supported.

• Documentation

  • Updated RGB-D, streaming, and TCP transport guidance to reflect the current interfaces.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request separates RGB-D reconstruction and TCP mesh transport into open4d.rgbd and open4d.transport. It routes browser streaming through open4d.stream, removes TCP dispatch from that entry point, and updates tests, package configuration, and documentation.

Changes

RGB-D and TCP package split

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reconstruction and transport package surfaces open4d/rgbd/*, open4d/transport/*, open4d/streaming/*	open4d.rgbd exports reconstruct, and open4d.transport exports send and receive. New tests cover reconstruction and TCP transport. The old streaming initializer and Python test module are removed.
Public API routing open4d/__init__.py, open4d/_api.py, open4d/io/tests/*, docs/api.md, scripts/smoke_installed_io.py	open4d.stream is imported from ._streamer, while send and receive are imported from .transport. The prior TCP/browser dispatch in _api.py is removed. Tests and documentation assign TCP transfer to send and browser export to stream.
Package distribution and repository paths .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md, MANIFEST.in, README.md, THIRD_PARTY.md, docs/*, pyproject.toml, scripts/check_*.py, scripts/tests/*	Package and test discovery, manifest exclusions, provenance checks, wheel checks, CI commands, contribution guidance, and documentation links use the RGB-D and transport paths.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c500

The split appears mergeable, but the TCP round-trip test should verify that all four frames were received so it catches frame loss.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c500

The public API changes are intentional. The TCP receiver retains its existing local-only default and protocol controls; the review found no evidence that this PR introduces or worsens a security exposure. Actual deployment exposure remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A peer able to reach a caller-configured TCP listener can supply frame headers, metadata, and payload bytes. The move adds a package export but does not itself add a listener or change the receiver's bind default.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The receiver checks header and payload limits before decoding and validates array descriptors and payload layout. Those controls, and the absence of in-band peer authentication, match the former transport implementation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The moved receiver closes its connection and listener on completion or interruption and does not reaccept after closure, preserving the former single-connection lifecycle.

Assert the received frame count.

future.result() == 4 does not inspect actual. If actual has fewer frames, zip(expected, actual) stops at the shorter input, so the loop can pass without detecting missing frames. Assert equal lengths before comparing frames.

Suggested fix

         assert future.result(timeout=3) == 4
+    assert len(actual) == len(expected)
     for original, decoded in zip(expected, actual):
