 ## Summary: Remaining Gaps

 ### Clustering (High Impact)
-1. **Route message routing** — Remote subscribers receive no messages; no RMSG implementation
-2. **Gateways** — Non-functional stub; no inter-cluster bridging
-3. **Leaf nodes** — Non-functional stub; no hub/spoke topology
-4. **RS+/RS- wire protocol** — subscription propagation is in-process method calls only
-5. **Route pooling** — single connection per peer vs Go's 3-connection pool
+1. **Gateway advanced semantics** — reply remapping (`_GR_.`) and full interest-only behavior are not complete
+2. **Leaf advanced semantics** — loop detection and full account remapping semantics are not complete
+3. **Inter-server account protocol** — A+/A- account semantics remain baseline-only

 ### JetStream (Significant Gaps)
-1. **API coverage is expanded but still incomplete** — core stream/consumer/direct/control routes are implemented, but full Go surface and edge semantics remain
-2. **Policy/runtime semantics are incomplete** — retention/discard/delivery/replay models exist, but behavior does not yet match Go across all cases
-3. **Snapshot/restore and cluster control are skeletal** — request/response contracts exist; durable/distributed semantics remain limited
-4. **FileStore scalability** — JSONL-based (not block/compressed/encrypted)
-5. **RAFT persistence and transport** — in-memory coordination; no durable log/RPC transport parity
-6. **Consumer delivery completeness** — MaxAckPending, flow control, replay/backoff, and full fetch/ack lifecycle parity still incomplete
+1. **Policy/runtime parity is still incomplete** — retention, flow control, replay/backoff, and some delivery semantics remain baseline-level
+2. **FileStore scalability** — JSONL-based (not block/compressed/encrypted)
+3. **RAFT transport durability** — transport and persistence baselines exist, but full network consensus semantics remain incomplete

+# JetStream Final Remaining Parity Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-23  
+**Status:** Approved  
+**Scope:** Complete all remaining JetStream functionality and required transport prerequisites from Go in the .NET server, with strict parity closure criteria.
+
+## 1. Architecture and Scope Boundary
+
+Remaining parity is executed in three ordered layers:
+
+1. Cluster transport prerequisites
+- Complete route wire protocol behavior (RS+/RS-, RMSG forwarding, route pool baseline).
+- Replace gateway and leaf-node stub behavior with functional networking/handshake/interest propagation sufficient for JetStream parity dependencies.
+
+2. JetStream semantic completion
+- Finish stream/consumer behavior still marked partial (retention/discard/runtime policy enforcement, delivery/replay/fetch/ack edge semantics, dedupe window/expected-header semantics, snapshot/restore durability semantics).
+
+3. Parity closure and verification
+- Remove JetStream "partial" status from `differences.md` unless an explicit non-JetStream blocker remains.
+- Maintain evidence mapping from Go feature to .NET implementation and proving tests.
+
+## 2. Component Plan
+
+### A. Route/Gateway/Leaf transport completion
+- Expand:
+  - `src/NATS.Server/Routes/RouteManager.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/Routes/RouteConnection.cs`
+- Add wire-level RS+/RS- and RMSG behavior, and route pool baseline behavior.
+- Replace stub-only behavior in:
+  - `src/NATS.Server/Gateways/GatewayManager.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/LeafNodes/LeafNodeManager.cs`
+  with functional baseline networking/handshake and interest propagation.
+
+### B. JetStream API surface completion
+- Expand:
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Api/JetStreamApiSubjects.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Api/JetStreamApiRouter.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Api/Handlers/*`
+- Cover remaining Go API families and durable/create/control variants with contract-accurate response shapes.
+
+### C. Stream/consumer semantic completion
+- Refine:
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/StreamManager.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/ConsumerManager.cs`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Consumers/*`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Publish/*`
+- Ensure modeled policies are fully enforced at runtime.
+
+### D. Store/recovery and RAFT semantics
+- Expand:
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Storage/*`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Snapshots/*`
+  - `src/NATS.Server/Raft/*`
+- Move from shape-level support to behavior-level durability and distributed-state correctness.
+
+### E. Monitoring + evidence
+- Update JetStream/cluster monitoring paths and models to reflect real runtime behavior.
+- Keep parity map and `differences.md` synchronized with test-backed implementation state.
+
+## 3. Data Flow and Behavioral Contracts
+
+1. Inter-server flow
+- Subscription changes emit RS+/RS- over links.
+- Remote interest updates local routing state.
+- Publish with remote interest forwards via RMSG-equivalent behavior preserving subject/reply/header semantics.
+
+2. JetStream API flow
+- `$JS.API.*` arrives through request/reply message path.
+- Router dispatches handlers; handlers validate contract and cluster state; responses encode deterministic success/error semantics.
+
+3. Publish/capture flow
+- Publish traverses normal routing and JetStream capture.
+- Preconditions run before append.
+- Append mutates stream state/indexes; mirror/source/consumer engines observe committed state.
+
+4. Consumer delivery flow
+- Pull/push share canonical pending/ack/redelivery state.
+- Control operations (`pause/reset/unpin/request-next/update`) mutate consistent state.
+- Restart/recovery preserves deterministic observable behavior.
+
+5. Store/recovery flow
+- Writes update payload and lookup structures.
+- Snapshot/restore and restart replay reconstruct equivalent stream/consumer state.
+- RAFT gates cluster-visible transitions where required.
+
+6. Observability flow
+- `/jsz`, `/varz`, and cluster endpoints report live behavior after transport/JetStream completion.
+
+## 4. Error Handling and Verification
+
+### Error handling
+- Preserve JetStream-specific error semantics over generic fallbacks.
+- Maintain separate error classes for:
+  - request/config validation
+  - state conflicts/not found
+  - leadership/quorum/stepdown
+  - transport connectivity/peer state
+  - storage/recovery integrity.
+
+### Strict completion gate
+1. No remaining JetStream "partial" in `differences.md` unless clearly blocked outside JetStream scope and explicitly documented.
+2. Unit and integration evidence for each completed feature area (transport + JetStream).
+3. Parity mapping document updated with Go contract, .NET file paths, proving tests, and status.
+4. Regression gates pass:
+  - focused JetStream/route/gateway/leaf/raft suites
+  - full `dotnet test`
+  - verification summary artifact.

+# JetStream Final Remaining Parity Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Codex:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use `executeplan` to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Close all remaining JetStream parity gaps (and required transport prerequisites) between Go and .NET so JetStream entries are no longer marked partial in `differences.md` except explicitly documented external blockers.
+
+**Architecture:** Implement prerequisites first (route/gateway/leaf wire behavior), then complete JetStream API and runtime semantics on top of real inter-server transport, and finally harden storage/RAFT and monitoring evidence. Use parity-map-driven development: every Go feature gap must map to concrete .NET code and test proof.
+
+**Tech Stack:** .NET 10, C# 14, xUnit 3, Shouldly, NSubstitute, bash tooling, ripgrep, System.Text.Json.
+
+---
+
+**Execution guardrails**
+- Use `@test-driven-development` in every task.
+- If behavior diverges from expected protocol semantics, switch to `@systematic-debugging` before modifying production code.
+- Use a dedicated worktree for execution.
+- Before completion claims, run `@verification-before-completion` commands.
+
+### Task 1: Regenerate and Enforce Go-vs-.NET JetStream Subject Gap Inventory
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/jetstream/extract-go-js-api.sh`
+- Modify: `docs/plans/2026-02-23-jetstream-remaining-parity-map.md`
+- Create: `tests/NATS.Server.Tests/JetStreamApiGapInventoryTests.cs`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public void Parity_map_has_no_unclassified_go_js_api_subjects()
+{
+    var gap = JetStreamApiGapInventory.Load();
+    gap.UnclassifiedSubjects.ShouldBeEmpty();
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~JetStreamApiGapInventoryTests.Parity_map_has_no_unclassified_go_js_api_subjects" -v minimal`  
+Expected: FAIL with listed missing subjects (`SERVER.REMOVE`, `ACCOUNT.PURGE`, `STREAM.PEER.REMOVE`, etc.).
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+perl -nle 'while(/"(\$JS\.API[^"]+)"/g){print $1}' golang/nats-server/server/jetstream_api.go | sort -u
+```
+
+```csharp
+public static JetStreamApiGapInventory Load()
+{
+    // compare extracted Go subject set with mapped .NET subject handlers
+}

+- Create: `src/NATS.Server/Raft/RaftTransport.cs`
+- Test: `tests/NATS.Server.Tests/RaftTransportPersistenceTests.cs`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task Raft_node_recovers_log_and_term_after_restart()
+{
+    var fx = await RaftFixture.StartPersistentClusterAsync();
+    var idx = await fx.Leader.ProposeAsync("cmd", default);
+    await fx.RestartNodeAsync("n2");
+    (await fx.ReadNodeAppliedIndexAsync("n2")).ShouldBeGreaterThanOrEqualTo(idx);
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RaftTransportPersistenceTests" -v minimal`  
+Expected: FAIL because no persistent raft transport/log baseline exists.
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+```csharp
+public interface IRaftTransport
+{
+    Task<IReadOnlyList<AppendResult>> AppendEntriesAsync(...);
+    Task<VoteResponse> RequestVoteAsync(...);
+}
+```
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class RaftLog
+{
+    public Task PersistAsync(string path, CancellationToken ct) { ... }
+    public static Task<RaftLog> LoadAsync(string path, CancellationToken ct) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RaftTransportPersistenceTests" -v minimal`  
+Expected: PASS.
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/NATS.Server/Raft/RaftNode.cs src/NATS.Server/Raft/RaftReplicator.cs src/NATS.Server/Raft/RaftLog.cs src/NATS.Server/Raft/RaftTransport.cs tests/NATS.Server.Tests/RaftTransportPersistenceTests.cs

+### Task 16: Replace Monitoring Stubs (`/routez`, `/gatewayz`, `/leafz`, `/accountz`, `/accstatz`)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/NATS.Server/Monitoring/MonitorServer.cs`
+- Create: `src/NATS.Server/Monitoring/RoutezHandler.cs`
+- Create: `src/NATS.Server/Monitoring/GatewayzHandler.cs`
+- Create: `src/NATS.Server/Monitoring/LeafzHandler.cs`
+- Create: `src/NATS.Server/Monitoring/AccountzHandler.cs`
+- Test: `tests/NATS.Server.Tests/MonitorClusterEndpointTests.cs`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task Routez_gatewayz_leafz_accountz_return_non_stub_runtime_data()
+{
+    await using var fx = await MonitorFixture.StartClusterEnabledAsync();
+    (await fx.GetJsonAsync("/routez")).ShouldContain("routes");

+    (await fx.GetJsonAsync("/leafz")).ShouldContain("leafs");
+    (await fx.GetJsonAsync("/accountz")).ShouldContain("accounts");
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~MonitorClusterEndpointTests" -v minimal`  
+Expected: FAIL because endpoints currently return stubs.
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+```csharp
+_app.MapGet(basePath + "/routez", () => _routezHandler.Build());
+_app.MapGet(basePath + "/gatewayz", () => _gatewayzHandler.Build());
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~MonitorClusterEndpointTests" -v minimal`  
+Expected: PASS.

+- Modify: `docs/plans/2026-02-23-jetstream-remaining-parity-verification.md`
+- Modify: `differences.md`
+
+**Step 1: Run focused transport+JetStream suites**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/NATS.Server.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~JetStream|FullyQualifiedName~Raft|FullyQualifiedName~Route|FullyQualifiedName~Gateway|FullyQualifiedName~Leaf" -v minimal`  
+Expected: PASS.
+
+**Step 2: Run full suite**
+
+Run: `dotnet test -v minimal`  
+Expected: PASS.
+
+**Step 3: Enforce no JetStream partials in differences**
+
+Run: `rg -n "## 11\. JetStream|Partial|partial" differences.md`  
+Expected: JetStream section no longer marks remaining entries as partial unless explicitly documented external blockers.
+
+**Step 4: Update parity evidence rows with exact code+test references**
+
+```md
+| $JS.API.STREAM.PEER.REMOVE.* | ClusterControlApiHandlers.HandleStreamPeerRemove | ported | JetStreamClusterControlExtendedApiTests.Peer_remove_and_consumer_stepdown_subjects_return_success_shape |
+```
+

+## Executor Notes
+
+- Use Go references while implementing each task:
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/jetstream_api.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/jetstream.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/stream.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/consumer.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/raft.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/route.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/gateway.go`
+  - `golang/nats-server/server/leafnode.go`
+- Keep behavior claims test-backed; do not update parity status based only on type signatures or route registration.
