# Raw output - tagged address readers

The human requested a migration away from ambiguous untagged transport
tuples. They established `('tcp', host, port)` and `('unix', path)` as
canonical forms, retained `('uds', path)` as an input alias, and required
a reader-first compatibility boundary before changing emitted values.

> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- tractor/discovery/_addr.py tractor/ipc/_tcp.py tractor/ipc/_uds.py tests/discovery/test_address_serialization.py`

Added explicit tagged address aliases and dispatch, taught TCP and UDS
readers to decode tagged tuple/list payloads, preserved legacy pair input,
and retained native IPv6 socket-address decoding. Added focused tests for
canonical tags, the UDS alias, msgpack-style lists, legacy pairs, and IPv6
socket values.

Focused reader tests and Ruff checks passed before the writer migration
was applied.
