crypto-curve error codes

(no submodules)

Purpose

codes.ts registers the stable error-code namespace for @suaveplan/crypto-curve with defineCodes from @suaveplan/error. Every error thrown by this package routes through one of these codes so consumers can write stable code-based dispatch and so observability backends see a finite tag set.

The codes are namespaced under CRYPTO.CURVE to keep them disjoint from sibling crypto packages (CRYPTO.CIPHER.*, CRYPTO.HASH.*, CRYPTO.KEYS.*).

Features

CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES — frozen registry mapping symbolic names to wire codes.
CryptoCurveCode — string union of all wire codes for type-safe dispatch.
Adding a code requires editing this file and re-running typecheck — there is no runtime path that injects a code.

Usage: Basic Example

import { CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES, CryptoCurveError } from "@suaveplan/crypto-curve";

throw new CryptoCurveError(
    CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERY_BYTE_MISSING,
    "error.crypto.curve.recovery-byte-missing",
    { context: { signatureLength: 64 } }
);

Usage: Advanced Example

import { CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES, type CryptoCurveCode } from "@suaveplan/crypto-curve";

function isRecoverableError(code: CryptoCurveCode): boolean {
    return (
        code === CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERY_BYTE_MISSING ||
        code === CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERY_BYTE_INVALID
    );
}

API Reference

CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERY_BYTE_MISSING: "CRYPTO.CURVE.RECOVERY_BYTE_MISSING" — thrown when recoverPublicKey receives a 64-byte signature without a recovery byte.
CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERY_BYTE_INVALID: "CRYPTO.CURVE.RECOVERY_BYTE_INVALID" — thrown when the recovery byte is not in {0, 1} (some libraries also emit 2 and 3 for compressed-form recovery, which are explicitly rejected here).
CRYPTO_CURVE_CODES.RECOVERED_KEY_MISMATCH: "CRYPTO.CURVE.RECOVERED_KEY_MISMATCH" — reserved for callers that need to surface the comparison-failure error rather than receiving false from verifyWithRecovery. Today the public API does not throw this code (it returns false instead) but it is registered for future use.
CryptoCurveCode — type alias of the union of all values above.

Implementation Notes

The codes are stable wire identifiers — once shipped they cannot be renamed or removed. Adding a new code is permitted; rename-or-delete requires a new spec change with a deprecation cycle. The codes use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE to match the suaveplan-wide convention; they include the package prefix to disambiguate when multiple packages route through a shared OTel exporter or log aggregator.
