Description
Part of the v2 roadmap (pillar P1 — foundation).
Replace the hand-rolled urllib-based client in monzo/httpio.py with an httpx-backed implementation, exposing both the existing Authentication (sync) and a new AsyncAuthentication (async) with matching method surfaces across every endpoint class.
Scope
- Single dependency (
httpx) covers connection pooling, HTTP/2, and one shared code path for sync/async instead of two hand-maintained transports. - Every endpoint gets an
*_asynccounterpart mirroring its sync method. - This is the package's first-ever runtime dependency — pin conservatively rather than an open range.
- Foundation for P3 (retry hooks live at the transport level).
Breaking: yes (import surface, dependency footprint)
Effort: L
Phase: alpha

Research direction
Start with monzo/httpio.py and inspect the existing Authentication implementation and its urllib-based transport. Then trace each endpoint class to map its current sync methods and determine the matching async surface; the work is done when all endpoints share the httpx-backed sync/async behavior and the breaking import and dependency changes are documented.
