CLI-40: port the exact-secret credential scrub to Rust/Java/.NET (Go/Python
already did it). AuthenticateUser/WriteSecured(2) helpers now redact the exact
caller-supplied secret from any surfaced error, as defense-in-depth on top of the
by-construction guarantee. Rust hand-writes a redacting Debug (derived Debug would
leak the reply); Java/.NET rebuild the same exception type with the redacted
message and do not carry the secret-bearing original forward (so ToString/stack
traces stay clean too).
CLI-41: uniform malformed-reply contract for AuthenticateUser/ArchestrAUserToId/
AddBufferedItem across all five clients — typed payload, else a present int32
return_value, else a typed malformed-reply error. Fixes Go/Java silent-0, .NET
NRE, and Rust's own internal inconsistency.
CLI-44: the Go event goroutine's Recv-error path now uses a non-blocking
sendTerminalEventResult on the reserved slot, so a genuine terminal stream error
is reported as itself instead of being mislabeled ErrSlowConsumer under overflow.
Riders from the CLI-37/38 review: (a) .NET ToDiagnosticSummary and Python
_mxaccess_message surface the raw success member (diagnostics-only parity with
Rust); (b) the status-conversion fixture carries an independent wantSuccess
boolean and the Go/.NET fixture tests assert against it instead of recomputing
the formula under test.
Shared fixtures (authenticate-user.{echoed-credential,missing-payload,
return-value-only}.reply.json) + manifest + ClientBehaviorFixtures.md +
ClientLibrariesDesign.md updated in the same change. Tracking: CLI-40/41/44 -> Done.
One cross-client conformance pass; also closes first-cycle CLI-08.
CLI-37: an MxStatusProxy entry is a failure iff `category !=
MX_STATUS_CATEGORY_OK`. The proto contract has always said so — `success` is
the raw 16-bit COM member carried verbatim for diagnostics, not a boolean — but
four clients branched on `success` alone and .NET required both, so the same
gateway reply produced opposite verdicts per language. An absent entry stays
success; a present entry with an UNSPECIFIED category is a failure, because the
worker always maps a category and an unmapped one is not proven OK.
CLI-38: a reply fails on HRESULT iff `hresult` is present and negative, so
positive COM success codes such as S_FALSE (1) pass. .NET/Go/Java used `!= 0`,
which errored on a parity-preserving S_FALSE that Python and Rust accepted.
This makes the existing ClientLibrariesDesign.md claim true rather than
rewriting the doc to describe the divergence.
Four shared fixtures pin both rules cross-client, and each language suite also
carries a table test for the two edges a fixture cannot express (absent entry,
UNSPECIFIED category). A Java test fake that built a status with a bare
`setSuccess(1)` and no category is fixed — under the category rule that reply
was never a success.
