⏺ Phase 6: Replication Protocol Migration — Complete

1 new file created, 5 new tests with real TCP connections, all passing, mypy clean, no regressions.

  synapse/replication/tcp/native_protocol.py — asyncio-native replication protocol:

  NativeReplicationProtocol — Replaces BaseReplicationStreamProtocol (Twisted LineOnlyReceiver):
  - Uses asyncio.StreamReader/asyncio.StreamWriter instead of Twisted transport
  - Line-based protocol: reads \n-delimited lines, parses via existing parse_command_from_line()
  - Ping/keepalive: 5s ping interval, 25s timeout — same constants as Twisted version
  - Command dispatch: two-phase (protocol-level on_<CMD> then handler-level), same as Twisted
  - Backpressure: buffers commands during CONNECTING state, closes if buffer exceeds 10000
  - Connection lifecycle: start(), close(), on_connection_made(), on_connection_lost() hooks
  - Graceful shutdown: waits for clean close, force-aborts after PING_TIMEOUT

  start_native_replication_server() — asyncio equivalent of ReplicationStreamProtocolFactory:
  - Uses asyncio.start_server() to listen for connections
  - Creates new protocol per connection via factory callable

  connect_native_replication_client() — asyncio equivalent of ReconnectingClientFactory:
  - Uses asyncio.open_connection() with automatic reconnection loop
  - Configurable reconnect interval (default 5s)

  ---
  Running totals across Phases 0-6:
  - 8 new files, ~2500 lines of asyncio-native implementation
  - 128 tests all passing
  - All mypy clean
  - Existing 4462-test suite unaffected
