Move max payload validation from the parser to ProcessPubAsync so the
server sends -ERR 'Maximum Payload Violation' and closes the connection
(matching Go reference client.go:2442). In pedantic mode, reject PUB
with wildcard subjects via -ERR 'Invalid Publish Subject' (client.go:2869).
Add disposed guard to SubList.Remove to prevent crash during shutdown.
Replace empty catch blocks with meaningful log statements in NatsServer,
NatsClient, and Program. Add WaitForReadyAsync() to NatsServer for
deterministic server startup. Replace Task.Delay/Thread.Sleep in tests
with PING/PONG protocol flush and SubscribeCoreAsync for reliable
subscription synchronization.
Remove template UnitTest1.cs placeholder. Add actual project structure,
run commands for the NATS server host, and update test command examples
to reference the real project paths.
Validates the server against the official NATS .NET client library with
tests for basic pub/sub, wildcard (* and >) matching, fan-out to
multiple subscribers, and PING/PONG keepalive. All 5 tests pass without
requiring any server changes.
Add NatsParser that reads NATS protocol commands from
ReadOnlySequence<byte>. Identifies commands by first 2 bytes using
case-insensitive bit masking. Handles PUB/HPUB payload reading with
stateful _awaitingPayload for split-packet scenarios. Uses Span<Range>
for zero-allocation argument splitting and ParseSize for ASCII decimal
parsing. Includes CommandType enum, ParsedCommand struct, and
ProtocolViolationException.
14 tests covering PING, PONG, CONNECT, INFO, SUB (with/without queue),
UNSUB (with/without max), PUB (with/without reply, zero payload),
HPUB, multiple commands, and case insensitivity.
