Coming back to this late, sorry. I'm not quite sure where to move with
this. I'm considering copying pieces of Port over just so we can see
what it looks like in practice?

Personally I think it makes sense for the parallel workers to have the
authn information for the client -- in fact there's a lot of
information that it seems shouldn't be hidden from them -- but there
are other pieces, like the socket handle, that are clearly not useful.

Thanks,
