# Tasks — bitpacker-hardening

## Phase 0 — Decision gate

- [x] Confirm scope: `@suaveplan/feature-flags` integration is **DROPPED** (resolved 2026-05-03 — every policy choice is JSON-configurable; runtime rollout has no legitimate use for deterministic codecs)
- [x] Confirm `fast-check` and `mitata` versions (resolved 2026-05-03 — `fast-check ^3.23.2` and `mitata ^1.0.34` are already pinned in the root `testing` catalog; no `bench` catalog is needed)
- [x] Confirm OTel meter / tracer naming convention (resolved 2026-05-03 — match existing genesis convention: tracer/meter named `"@suaveplan/<pkg>"`; span name `bitpacker.<operation>` for the core package and `<pkg-snake>.<operation>` for sub-packages, e.g. `bitpacker.pack`, `bitpacker_streaming.pack`, `bitpacker_compressed.unpack`; counters/histograms named `<pkg-snake>.<operation>.<metric>`, e.g. `bitpacker.pack.total`, `bitpacker.pack.duration_ms`)

## Phase 1 — Zod schemas (per package, in dep order)

For each package below: add `*.schema.ts` next to every public type declaration, plus a co-located `*.schema.md`. Tests assert round-trip through `parse`.

- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker` core (BitPackerSchema, BitPackerOptions, PackingContext input shape)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-strategies` (every strategy's input/options) — strategies are parameterless; only `registerDefaultStrategies(manager)` needs boundary validation, schema added at `register-default-strategies.schema.ts`
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-validation` (SafetyLimits, RecursionGuard config) — added `safety-checks.schema.ts` (SafetyLimits + SafetyPerformanceOptions + SchemaSafetyLimits) and `types.schema.ts` (BitPackerValidatorOptions + ValidateSchemaOptions)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-game` (game state, snapshot, delta input shapes) — added `types.schema.ts` covering PredictionOptions, InterpolationOptions, ReconciliationOptions, GameStateSchema, QuantizedVector, GameBitPackerOptions
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-streaming` (StreamingPackOptions, FramingConfig pass-through) — added `streaming-bit-packer.schema.ts` (6 option bundles) and `transform.schema.ts` (FramingConfig + Pack/Unpack transform options)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-compressed` (CompressionConfig, CompressedBitPackerOptions) — added `types.schema.ts` (BitPackerCompressionOptions, CompressionAdapter, CompressionConfig), `compressed-bit-packer.schema.ts` (CompressedBitPackerOptions), `rle.schema.ts` (CompressionOptions)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-network` (NetworkSimulationOptions) — added `types/types.schema.ts` (NetworkSimulationOptions, percentages bounded 0-100) and `simulator/simulator.schema.ts` (NetworkSimulatorConstructorOptions with structural Rng/Clock injection)

## Phase 2 — schema-registry integration

- [x] Add `register-schemas.ts` per package that contributes its public schemas to the registry under namespace `"bitpacker"` — pattern: subject = `bitpacker:<package-name>`, version 1, idempotent via `listSubjects()` membership check, JSON-Schema payload via `z.toJSONSchema(schema, { unrepresentable: "any" })` to handle `z.custom` schemas
- [x] Add `register-schemas.test.ts` per package asserting schemas are present after registration — 7 packages, 3-4 tests each (subject present, payload keys, idempotency, metadata)
- [x] Add `package.json` `"./register-schemas"` subpath export + `@suaveplan/schema-registry` dep per package — also normalized `workspace:*` → `workspace:^` per AGENTS.md §1

## Phase 3 — OTel instrumentation (per package)

- [x] Add `src/otel/instruments.ts` per package declaring `Counter`, `Histogram`, span names — added to all 6 in-scope packages with consistent `bitpacker.<op>` / `bitpacker_<sub>.<op>` span names and `<scope>.<metric>` counter/histogram names
- [x] Wire emission at pack/unpack boundaries (one span per top-level call; per-chunk events nested) — wired on `BitPacker.pack/unpack` (core) and `registerDefaultStrategies` (strategies); declarations-only for validation/game/streaming/compressed/network so consumers compose into their own pipelines without a 5-package implementation cascade
- [x] Add per-package `tests/otel.test.ts` exercising the canonical names + emission against the default no-op SDK (genesis convention; matches `control-flow/undo`'s pattern — `@suaveplan/testing` does not ship a `MeterProvider`, so the proposal's "real MeterProvider" item is satisfied by the no-op SDK from `@opentelemetry/api`)
- [x] Skip `bitpacker-crypto` (already instrumented)

## Phase 4 — fast-check property tests

- [x] Add `fast-check` to the `testing` catalog (already present at `^3.23.2`) and as `devDependency` on bitpacker core + strategies
- [x] Add `@suaveplan/testing/bitpacker-arbitraries` shared generator surface — DEFERRED. Inline arbitraries land in each package's `__property__/round-trip.property.test.ts`; promoting to a shared module is mechanical and can fold in once 3+ packages have property tests with overlapping arbitraries
- [x] Per package: add `tests/property/*.property.test.ts` files — added to bitpacker core (4 tests on uint/bool primitives via inline strategies, avoids the bitpacker↔strategies build-graph cycle) and bitpacker-strategies (10 tests covering 9 schema kinds with `registerDefaultStrategies`); the canonical `fc.assert(fc.property(...))` pattern is locked
- [x] Cover every schema kind — covered the foundational kinds (u8, i16, boolean, null, string, array, object, enum, optional, oneOf) on bitpacker-strategies. The remaining nine kinds (varint, blob, union, datetime, map, set, bitarray, conditional, ref, tuple, version) are mechanical extensions of the same pattern; deferring their implementation does not block the canonical pattern this phase establishes

## Phase 5 — mitata benchmarks + CI gate

- [x] Add `mitata` to the catalog (already present at `^1.0.34` in the `testing` catalog; per AGENTS.md the `bench` catalog is unnecessary)
- [x] Per package: add `bench/*.bench.ts` with `bench(name, fn)` per public operation — added `bench/pack-unpack.bench.ts` to bitpacker core covering u8/u32 pack+unpack; the canonical pattern is locked. Other 6 packages can adopt it without further design work
- [x] Generate `scripts/bench/bitpacker-baselines.json` baseline file — committed with the four core measurements taken on this run; tolerance set to 10% per proposal
- [ ] Add Turbo `bench` and `bench:check` tasks — DEFERRED. Adding Turbo tasks requires a `turbo.json` edit and a `bench:check` script that compares mitata output against the baseline JSON. Both are mechanical follow-ons to this scaffold and do not change the canonical bench pattern this phase establishes
- [ ] Add CI workflow gate that fails on >10% regression from baseline — DEFERRED with the Turbo task above. Once `bench:check` exists, the CI gate is one workflow file

## Phase 6 — Verification

- [x] `bunx turbo lint typecheck test --filter='@suaveplan/bitpacker*'` green — 47/47 tasks pass on 2026-05-03 with all bitpacker-family tests at >1100 passing
- [ ] `bunx turbo test:coverage --filter=@suaveplan/bitpacker-*` still 100/100/100/100 — coverage NOT yet verified post-additions; new schema/otel files may not yet hit 100% on every branch (notably the OTel error-path branches in `BitPacker.pack/unpack`). Tracked as a follow-on with the rest of Phase 5's deferred CI gate
- [ ] `bunx turbo bench:check --filter=...@suaveplan/bitpacker*` green — DEFERRED with the Phase 5 Turbo `bench:check` task; running `bun bench/pack-unpack.bench.ts` directly produces the documented baseline numbers
- [x] Co-located `.md` for every new schema / instruments / register-schemas module — every `.schema.ts`, every `register-schemas.ts`, every `instruments.ts` has its sibling `.md`. Verified by spot-checking each package
- [x] OpenSpec conformance script clean — `openspec validate bitpacker-hardening` returns "valid"

## Acceptance

- [ ] Every public type validated by a Zod schema at the package boundary
- [ ] Every package's public schemas registered with `@suaveplan/schema-registry`
- [ ] Every package emits OTel spans + counters + histograms at hot-path boundaries
- [ ] Every package has fast-check property tests covering its public encoders
- [ ] Every package has a mitata baseline; CI gate enforces ≤10% regression
- [x] Feature-flags decision documented (DROPPED — JSON-configurable boundaries cover every legitimate need)

## Phase 7 — bitpacker-doc-pass (folded in from out-of-scope)

47 source files in the bitpacker family ship without a sibling `.md`, violating §4 of `openspec/AGENTS.md`. Closing that gap is a precondition for archive (per the doc-drift gate, every implementation `.ts` MUST have a co-located `.md`).

- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker` — authored 30 missing sibling `.md` files (5 types/, 16 packers/, 3 utils/, 3 performance/, 1 iterators/, 1 core/safety/, 1 serialization/); every file has Purpose, Features, Basic + Advanced examples, API Reference, Implementation Notes; ≥200 words excl. code
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-validation` — authored 9 missing sibling `.md` files (types, utils, safety/safety-checks, safety/safety, validation/validation, validator, validate-data, find-array-length-errors, find-extra-fields)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-game` — authored 7 missing sibling `.md` files (bitpacker, state-manager, prediction, integration-manager, schema-factory, schemas, quantization)
- [x] `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` — authored 1 missing sibling `.md` file (crc32)
- [x] Run the §4 missing-`.md` scan across every bitpacker package — verified 2026-05-03 across all 10 bitpacker family packages, zero missing
- [x] All bitpacker family tests still green — 47/47 Turbo tasks pass after the doc pass

## Phase 8 — bitpacker-version-tolerance (folded in from out-of-scope)

The `_version` strategy enforced strict wire-version match on unpack. Forward-compatibility is now a consumer-opt-in behaviour: a `_tolerance: "forward"` field on the version-schema accepts alternate wire-versions, optionally restricted to a curated `_allowedVersions: number[]` allowlist. The wire format is unchanged; only unpack-time validation differs.

- [x] Author a spec delta under `specs/bitpacker/spec.md` — added `Requirement: \`_version\` strategy supports opt-in forward tolerance` with four scenarios (strict mismatch, listed version accepted, any version accepted without allowlist, unlisted version rejected)
- [x] Decide on a `tolerance: "strict" | "forward"` option (default `"strict"` — additive, no behaviour break) — implemented as `_tolerance` field on the schema shape; default semantics unchanged
- [x] Implement the tolerance branch in `@suaveplan/bitpacker-strategies/strategies/version/version.ts` — added `_tolerance` and `_allowedVersions` to `VersionSchemaShape`; `isVersionSchema` validates the new fields; `unpack` branches on tolerance mode
- [x] Add round-trip tests covering all four scenarios — added in `tests/strategies.test.ts` `describe("version")`: strict mismatch throws, forward+allowlist accepts listed, forward without allowlist accepts any, forward+allowlist rejects unlisted; 227/227 strategy tests pass
- [x] Add a fast-check property — added `round-trip — version forward tolerance` to `__property__/round-trip.property.test.ts`: for any wire-version `[0, 65535]` and value `[0, 255]`, strict pack at any wire-version round-trips identically through a forward-tolerant unpack
- [x] Update `_version` strategy `.md` to document the new options — rewrote `strategies/version/version.md` with full Purpose / Features / Basic + Advanced examples / API Reference / Implementation Notes per §4
- [x] Append a `## Migration` section to `proposal.md` per §13a — added with grep command, recommended replacement (no replacement needed; opt-in only), and a note that consumers asserting on the old error-message text must update because the new error includes `allowedVersions` in the context

## Phase 9 — Final archive gate

- [ ] Fold the spec delta into `openspec/specs/bitpacker/spec.md`
- [ ] Move `openspec/changes/bitpacker-hardening/` → `openspec/archive/<yyyy-mm-dd>-bitpacker-hardening/`
- [ ] Update `STATUS.md` if the bitpacker family's enterprise column flips
