📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The wire protocol now uses shared numeric MessagePack message IDs. Zig encoding, decoding, and routing use MessageType. The TypeScript SDK maps logical names to numeric IDs and decodes supported IDs back to names. Tests and specifications validate invalid and legacy inputs.

Changes

Numeric wire message types

Layer / File(s) Summary
Message registry and protocol contract
src/wire/message_type.zig, specs/architecture/adrs.md, specs/implementation/*
Defines stable numeric IDs, direction rules, invalid-type behavior, and registry maintenance requirements.
Zig wire encoding and decoding
src/wire/*.zig, src/*test_helpers.zig, src/*_test.zig
Encodes top-level message types as numeric values and decodes them into numeric fields. Tests validate numeric markers, enum values, and malformed input.
Message routing and validation
src/message_handler.zig, src/message_handler_test.zig, src/message_handler_verification_test.zig
Uses exhaustive MessageType routing and rejects unknown, server-only, and legacy string message types with the defined errors.
TypeScript SDK translation
sdk/typescript/src/connection_wire.ts, sdk/typescript/src/test-helpers.ts, sdk/typescript/src/*test.ts
Adds outbound and inbound numeric mappings and uses encodeToBuffer for test message encoding.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c02e6

This change can reject valid AuthRefresh requests, and several updated tests do not reliably validate the intended numeric message types. The PR is not merge-ready until the protocol rule and affected test coverage are corrected and the required validation commands pass.

20-24: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the MessagePack width, not only the decoded value.

expectType checks the value after decoding. It does not detect an encoder that writes the same ID as uint8, uint16, or uint64. The protocol requires assigned IDs to remain one-byte positive fixints. Add a raw-byte assertion for at least one top-level response, or make the helper inspect the original bytes.

In `@sdk/typescript/src/test-helpers.ts`:
- Around line 13-20: Update the registry-key check in the test helper’s
wire-message conversion logic to accept only own keys of WireMessageType,
preventing inherited names such as “constructor” from being converted; preserve
unrecognized type strings unchanged.

In `@specs/implementation/query-grammar.md`:
- Line 68: Update the JSON example’s type value from hexadecimal 0x14 to decimal
20 so the block remains valid JSON, while retaining 0x14 only in explanatory
text if needed.

In `@specs/implementation/wire-protocol.md`:
- Around line 123-125: Update the Direction rules for server-only IDs to exclude
AuthRefresh (0x04), listing 0x00–0x03 and 0x05 separately or deriving the check
from MessageType direction cases, so valid AuthRefresh client requests are not
rejected.

In `@src/wire/decode_test.zig`:
- Around line 122-124: Update both unsubscribe fixtures in the decode tests to
use MessageType.store_unsubscribe, which maps to 0x16, instead of the raw 0x15
literal; leave the subscribe fixtures unchanged.

106-108: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use expectType for the query response.

Lines 106-108 verify only that the decoded value is a MessageType. They do not verify that the raw MessagePack value is a one-byte positive fixint. A regression to a multi-byte integer encoding would pass this test. Replace the manual assertion with try expectType(response, parsed, .ok);.

- Around line 20-26: Update expectType to parse the top-level map entry
structurally rather than searching the entire bytes buffer for type_key.
Validate the map header and entry boundaries, locate the top-level "type" key,
and bounds-check before reading its value so nested payloads and truncated
matches cannot be mistaken for the type field.
