+# Design Spec: AllAnime Client Decomposition
+
+Decompose the monolithic `api/playback/allanime_client.go` into focused, maintainable units to improve readability, testability, and separation of concerns.
+
+## 1. File Structure & Responsibilities
+
+The current 1200-line file will be split into the following components:
+
+### `pkg/net/utls/utls.go` (New)
+- **Responsibility:** Generic uTLS and HTTP2 networking utilities.
+- **Contents:** `utlsRoundTripper` struct and its `RoundTrip` implementation.
+- **Benefit:** Decouples complex networking logic from domain-specific client code.
+
+### `api/playback/allanime_crypto.go` (New)
+- **Responsibility:** AES decryption and dynamic key discovery.
+- **Contents:** `decryptTobeparsed`, `getAESKey`, `fetchKeyFromForks`, and supporting validation/decryption logic.
+- **Benefit:** Isolates the "hacky" key-scraping and crypto logic from the clean API client.
+
+### `api/playback/allanime_extractor.go` (New)
+- **Responsibility:** Parsing raw data and detecting media types.
+- **Contents:** `extractSourceURLsFromData`, `decodeSourceURL`, `detectStreamType`, `detectEmbedType`, and source-building helpers.
+- **Benefit:** Clean separation of data transformation logic.
+
+### `api/playback/allanime_client.go` (Modified)
+- **Responsibility:** Main service interface and GraphQL communication.
+- **Contents:** `Search`, `GetEpisodes`, `GetEpisodeSources`, and `graphqlRequest`.
+- **Benefit:** The file becomes a thin wrapper around the API protocol.
+
+## 2. Interface Stability
+- The existing `allAnimeClient` struct and its public methods (`Search`, `GetEpisodes`, etc.) will maintain their signatures. 
+- Internal helper functions will be moved to the new files but remain within the `playback` package (except for the generic networking utility).
+
+## 3. Verification Plan
+
+### Automated Checks
+- `go test ./api/playback/...`: Ensure all existing tests pass after the split.
+- `go build ./...`: Verify no compilation errors due to visibility or package changes.
+- Add new unit tests in `api/playback/allanime_crypto_test.go` for the moved decryption logic.
+
+### Manual Checks
+- Verify that anime playback and searching still function correctly in the application.
