Summary

Ports upstream clickhouse/clickhouse-docs#6425 — replaces the "no formal specification yet" paragraph on the Native (TCP) interface page with links to the official Native Protocol and Native Format specs.

Changes

  • concepts/features/interfaces/tcp.mdx: dropped the reverse-engineering note, added bullets linking to /interfaces/specs/NativeProtocol and /interfaces/specs/NativeFormat, and added the clickhouse-go example for "language clients".

Context

Upstream branch name: kavirajk/link-official-specs-protocol-format. Only docs/integrations/interfaces/tcp.md changed substantively in the merge (i18n directories ignored per instructions).

Ambiguity / open questions

  • The two target slugs (/interfaces/specs/NativeProtocol, /interfaces/specs/NativeFormat) do not appear to exist either in this Mintlify repo or in the upstream Docusaurus repo at the time of this merge. The upstream PR uses the same root-relative paths, so I've kept them verbatim — they presumably resolve to pages generated/added elsewhere. Worth verifying these resolve before this ships, otherwise the broken-link checker will flag them.
  • Only the English source page was updated; localized copies under es/, ja/, ko/, pt-BR/, ru/, zh/ were left untouched per the "ignore i18n" rule.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only copy and link changes with no runtime impact; verify the new spec URLs resolve to avoid broken links.

Overview
Updates the Native interface (TCP) doc to stop saying there is no formal native protocol spec and instead point readers at the official Native Protocol and Native Format reference pages.

The intro now mentions language clients via clickhouse-go (not only the CLI and inter-server traffic), and adds two bullets that summarize what each spec covers—protocol framing/state machine vs. Block/column encodings and HTTP FORMAT Native.
