Plans making every adapter's public API exactly its upstream's, as a new m0 epic, quest/m0/adapters. It also writes the maintainer's rule into AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.

Audit

Two reviewers diffed each adapter's rustdoc surface against its upstream: rind-ring against ring 0.17.14, rind-aws-lc-rs against aws-lc-rs 1.19.0, rind-rustls against rustls::crypto::aws_lc_rs 0.23.46, rind-dimpl against dimpl 0.9's providers, rind-str0m against str0m-aws-lc-rs 0.7, rind-jsonwebtoken against jsonwebtoken::crypto::aws_lc, and rind-rcgen against rcgen 0.14's KeyPair. I checked the headline finding by hand: LessSafeKey::open_in_place_separate_tag takes ring's arguments, while aws-lc-rs 1.17.0 through 1.19.0 take (nonce, aad, &[u8], in_out).

Quests

• [M] rind-rustls is rustls's aws-lc-rs provider: remove the lean-provider items and SECP521R1, and add upstream's sign functions and RsaSigningKey.
• [M] rind-aws-lc-rs's signatures are aws-lc-rs 1.x's: open_in_place_separate_tag, #[non_exhaustive], generic constructors, and removed extras.
• [S] rind-ring is ring 0.17's API: remove the cpu module and the extra Eq, restore a Debug bound, and accept ring's Cargo features.
• [S] rind-rcgen's KeyPair is rcgen's: rcgen's names and methods.
• [S] rind-dimpl, rind-str0m, rind-jsonwebtoken, and rind-object-store match their upstream providers.

Every child also drops its adapters' MissingFeature, since rind::cpu::check() can't fail on any target rind builds for. rind needs no runtime CPU check keeps only rind's own deletion, and now requires this epic.

Decisions

Made with the maintainer on 2026-11-08:

• Breaking parity fixes ship as patch releases, not Cargo-incompatible versions ✅. Maintainer: "Adapters must have identical APIs, and we broke that. Patch and yank if needed."
• Adapters must have identical APIs ✅. A divergence is a bug, fixed in a patch release with the version set by hand, yanking divergent releases if needed (rejected: a one-off exception with the rule unchanged; a standing exception for adapters with no dependents).
• rind-rustls matches upstream exactly ✅ (rejected: keep moq-dev/rind#332's lean-provider items as a documented superset). Binaries link every algorithm again, as upstream's do.
• rind-rcgen matches rcgen's KeyPair ✅ (rejected: keep its names). This reverses the 0.2.0 audit's Zeroizing decision (moq-dev/rind#383). serial_number() and key_identifier() are removed: the adapter rule has no exceptions ✅ (rejected: a narrow carve-out for additions that replace what upstream's built-in provider does implicitly). Maintainer: "No exceptions. We can make our own rcgen replacement if we think the API sucks." Callers without rcgen's crypto feature set serials and key identifiers themselves.
• Milestone: now, m0 ✅ (rejected: m2, m3).
• rind-instant-acme is deleted, in a separate PR (rejected: keep it). It has no consumer since MoQ dropped ACME. rind-object-store stays, because MoQ's moq-cli uses it.

Rule changes

• AGENTS.md: an adapter offers exactly its upstream provider's API and adds nothing, and a divergence is a bug fixed in a patch release. This replaces "its own breaking change waits for upstream's".
• CONTRIBUTING.md (Releases): a change that restores upstream's API is a fix, released as a patch with the version set by hand, and the maintainer yanks the divergent releases if needed. Other breaking adapter changes are still held or reverted.

Follow-ups

• A rind-native rcgen replacement, if setting serials and key identifiers by hand proves painful. Recommendation: don't plan it until a consumer complains.

Impact

Quest and docs files only. No public API or wire changes.

Walkthrough

The changes update repository policy and release guidance for adapter API parity. They add roadmap documents describing planned parity work and exceptions for several adapters. The changes are documentation only; they do not implement the documented API changes.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 53256

Resolve the breaking-release guidance and the CPU-check and browser-feature planning gaps before relying on these plans. No executable behavior changes now, but following the guidance can break downstream builds or introduce a debug-build panic.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "chore(quest): adapters offer exactly their upstream's API" matches the main change. The PR plans an m0 epic and updates AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md so each adapter's public API matches its upstream provider's API. The title is specific and concise, and it names the core goal. It does not mention that the change is planning documentation only, but that is a minor omission.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly relates to the changeset. It states that the PR plans an m0 epic for adapter API parity, records the maintainer rule in AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, lists the affected adapters and planned quests, and notes that the change contains only quest and documentation files. This matches the summarized file changes, which cover the policy docs and the adapter planning documents.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Line 145: Update the release guidance around rind-rustls so API changes that
break existing callers, such as changing default_provider() and making existing
.unwrap() calls fail to compile, use a Cargo-incompatible version and include a
migration path; do not present yanking older releases as sufficient protection.
Preserve the patch-version guidance for changes that do not break compatibility.

Review comments at @quest/m0/adapters/README.md:
- Line 13: The README change describes removing adapter-level
`rind::cpu::check()` calls; coordinate that removal with the m2 CPU-check
changes so disabled NEON remains safe. Preserve the failure behavior when
`RIND_CPU_DISABLE_neon=1` on aarch64 debug or `rind_cpu_disable` builds,
ensuring provider creation cannot succeed before the guarded operation would
panic.

Review comments at @quest/m0/adapters/ring.md:
- Line 14: Update the ring Cargo feature handling so enabling
wasm32_unknown_unknown_js activates the getrandom/wasm_js backend through the
feature and documented patch, rather than treating it as a no-op; preserve the
existing no-op behavior for the other listed features.

Important

The new "adding nothing" rule contradicts this PR's own rind-rcgen plan — one inline comment needs a ruling before this lands as standing law. Two minor wording corrections on rustls.md inline.

Reviewed changes

• Standing rule: AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md now require every rind-<consumer> adapter to offer exactly the API of the provider its upstream ships; a divergence is a bug, fixed in a patch release with the version set by hand and divergent releases yanked.
• New m0 epic and five child quests: quest/m0/adapters/ plans the per-adapter parity work (aws-lc-rs, ring, rustls, rcgen, and the dimpl/str0m/jsonwebtoken/object-store provider crates), each dropping MissingFeature by no longer calling rind::cpu::check().
• cpu-check quest re-scoped: quest/m2/api/cpu-check.md keeps only rind's own check deletion, now requires the epic, and the m2/api epic README drops its adapters-break-in-patch-releases parenthetical.

Every upstream API claim the plans rest on was verified against the live sources (aws-lc-rs 1.19.0, ring 0.17.14, rustls 0.23.46, rcgen 0.14.10, jsonwebtoken, str0m-aws-lc-rs 0.7.0, dimpl 0.9.0, object_store 0.14.2) — all 33 check out, including the headline open_in_place_separate_tag divergence, confirmed both in rind-aws-lc-rs/src/aead.rs:262 and on docs.rs. The local claims (the PEM-refusal test in rind-dimpl/tests/provider.rs, the cpu.rs modules, rind-ring's Eq, every adapter's current MissingFeature return) all match the plans, and no stale copies of the reversed adapters-in-patch-releases decision remain in the tree.
