Re-enabled the leader check in JetStreamApiRouter.Route() that was
commented out during B8 agent work. Added BecomeLeader() method to
JetStreamMetaGroup for single-process test fixtures to simulate
winning the post-stepdown election. MetaControllerFixture now
auto-calls BecomeLeader() after a successful meta leader stepdown.

D6: Add ExportSubjects/ImportSubjects allow-lists to LeafHubSpokeMapper alongside
existing DenyExports/DenyImports deny-lists. When an allow-list is non-empty, subjects
must match at least one allow pattern; deny always takes precedence. Updated
LeafNodeOptions, LeafHubSpokeMapper (5-arg constructor), and LeafNodeManager to wire
through the new allow-lists. Added 13 new unit + integration tests covering allow-list
semantics, deny precedence, bidirectional filtering, and wire-level propagation.
D7: Existing NetworkingGoParityTests.cs (50 tests) covers gateway interest mode,
route pool accounting, and leaf node connections. Parity DB already up to date.
E6: Add IsSystemAccount property to Account, mark $SYS account as system,
add IsSystemSubject/IsSubscriptionAllowed/GetSubListForSubject helpers to
route $SYS.> subjects to the system account's SubList and block non-system
accounts from subscribing.
E7: Add ConfigReloader.ReloadAsync and ApplyDiff for structured async reload,
add ConfigReloadResult/ConfigApplyResult types. SIGHUP handler already wired
via PosixSignalRegistration in HandleSignals.
E8: Add PropagateAuthChanges to re-evaluate connected clients after auth
config reload, disconnecting clients whose credentials no longer pass
authentication with -ERR 'Authorization Violation'.
E4: AccountImportExport with DFS cycle detection for service imports,
RemoveServiceImport/RemoveStreamImport, and ValidateImport authorization.
E5: AccountLimits record with MaxStorage/MaxConsumers/MaxAckPending,
TryReserveConsumer/ReleaseConsumer, TrackStorageDelta on Account.
20 new tests, all passing.
Add MqttSessionStore with save/load/delete/list operations, flapper
detection (backoff on rapid reconnects), and TimeProvider-based testing.
Add MqttRetainedStore for per-topic retained messages with MQTT wildcard
matching (+/# filters). Add MqttQos2StateMachine tracking the full
PUBREC/PUBREL/PUBCOMP flow with duplicate rejection and timeout detection.
19 new tests: 9 session persistence, 10 QoS/retained message tests.
D2: Add FNV-1a-based ComputeRoutePoolIdx to RouteManager matching Go's
route.go:533-545, with PoolIndex on RouteConnection and account-aware
ForwardRoutedMessageAsync that routes to the correct pool connection.
D3: Replace DeflateStream with IronSnappy in RouteCompressionCodec, add
RouteCompressionLevel enum, NegotiateCompression, and IsCompressed
detection. 17 new tests (6 pool + 11 compression), all passing.
Ports the gateway interest-only mode from Go (gateway.go:100-150, 1500-1600):
- Add GatewayInterestTracker with Optimistic/Transitioning/InterestOnly modes
- In Optimistic mode, track no-interest set; switch to InterestOnly when set
exceeds threshold (default 1000, matching Go defaultGatewayMaxRUnsubThreshold)
- In InterestOnly mode, only forward subjects with tracked RS+ interest;
use SubjectMatch.MatchLiteral for wildcard pattern support
- Integrate tracker into GatewayConnection: A+/A- messages update tracker,
SendMessageAsync skips send when ShouldForward returns false
- Expose InterestTracker property on GatewayConnection for observability
- Add 13 unit tests covering all 8 specified behaviors plus edge cases
Add MsgBlock write cache (mirrors Go's msgBlock.cache) to serve reads
for recently-written records without disk I/O; cleared on block seal via
RotateBlock. Add HashWheel-based TTL expiry in FileStore (ExpireFromWheel /
RegisterTtl), replacing the O(n) linear scan on every append with an
O(expired) wheel scan. Implement StoreMsg sync method with per-message TTL
override support. Add 10 tests covering cache hits/eviction, wheel expiry,
retention, StoreMsg seq/ts, per-msg TTL, and recovery re-registration.
Implement PurgeEx, Compact, Truncate, FilteredState, SubjectsState,
SubjectsTotals, State, FastState, GetSeqFromTime on FileStore. Add
MsgBlock.IsDeleted, DeletedSequences, EnumerateNonDeleted. Includes
wildcard subject support via SubjectMatch for all filtered operations.
Replace JSONL persistence with real MsgBlock-based block files (.blk).
FileStore now acts as a block manager that creates, seals, and rotates
MsgBlocks while maintaining an in-memory cache for fast reads/queries.
Key changes:
- AppendAsync writes transformed payloads to MsgBlock via WriteAt
- Block rotation occurs when active block reaches size limit
- Recovery scans .blk files and rebuilds in-memory state from records
- Legacy JSONL migration: existing messages.jsonl data is automatically
converted to block files on first open, then JSONL is deleted
- PurgeAsync disposes and deletes all block files
- RewriteBlocks rebuilds blocks from cache (used by trim/restore)
- InvalidDataException propagates during recovery (wrong encryption key)
MsgBlock.WriteAt added to support explicit sequence numbers and timestamps,
needed when rewriting blocks with non-contiguous sequences (after removes).
Tests updated:
- New FileStoreBlockTests.cs with 9 tests for block-specific behavior
- JetStreamFileStoreCompressionEncryptionParityTests updated to read
FSV1 magic from .blk files instead of messages.jsonl
- JetStreamFileStoreDurabilityParityTests updated to verify .blk files
instead of index.manifest.json
All 3,562 tests pass (3,535 passed + 27 skipped, 0 failures).
MsgBlock is the unit of storage in the file store — a single append-only
block file containing sequentially written binary message records. Blocks
are sealed (read-only) when they reach a configurable byte-size limit.
Key features:
- Write: appends MessageRecord-encoded messages with auto-incrementing
sequence numbers and configurable first sequence offset
- Read: positional I/O via RandomAccess.Read for concurrent reader safety
- Delete: soft-delete with on-disk persistence (re-encodes flags byte +
checksum so deletions survive recovery)
- Recovery: rebuilds in-memory index by scanning block file using
MessageRecord.MeasureRecord for record boundary detection
- Thread safety: ReaderWriterLockSlim allows concurrent reads during writes
Also adds MessageRecord.MeasureRecord() — computes a record's byte length
by parsing varint field headers without full decode, needed for sequential
record scanning during block recovery.
Reference: golang/nats-server/server/filestore.go:217-267 (msgBlock struct)
12 tests covering write, read, delete, seal, recovery, concurrency,
and custom sequence offsets.
Add MessageRecord class with Encode/Decode for the binary wire format
used in JetStream file store blocks. Uses varint-encoded lengths,
XxHash64 checksums, and a flags byte for deletion markers.
Go reference: filestore.go:6720-6724, 8180-8250, 8770-8777
13 tests covering round-trip, headers, checksum validation, corruption
detection, varint encoding, deleted flag, empty/large payloads.
Implements RaftSubjects static class with Go's $NRG.* subject constants
and NatsRaftTransport which routes RAFT RPCs over those subjects using
RaftAppendEntryWire / RaftVoteRequestWire encoding. 43 tests cover all
subject patterns, wire encoding fidelity, and transport construction.
Replace Deflate+XOR with IronSnappy S2 block compression and ChaCha20-Poly1305 / AES-256-GCM
AEAD encryption, matching golang/nats-server/server/filestore.go. Introduces FSV2 envelope
format alongside existing FSV1 for backward compatibility. Adds 55 new tests across
S2CodecTests, AeadEncryptorTests, and FileStoreV2Tests covering all 6 cipher×compression
permutations, tamper detection, and legacy format round-trips.
Add stub source files for Internal/Avl, Internal/SubjectTree, Internal/Gsl,
Internal/TimeHashWheel, Raft/RaftState, and Raft/IRaftNode, plus empty test
directories for all new namespaces and a Concurrency suite directory.
Stream lifecycle, publish/ack, consumer delivery, retention policy,
API endpoints, cluster formation, and leader failover tests ported
from Go nats-server reference. 1006 total tests passing.
