Raw Blame History

Full JetStream and Cluster Prerequisite Parity Implementation Plan

For Codex: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use executeplan to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Port JetStream and all prerequisite clustering subsystems from Go to .NET with enough fidelity to satisfy full Go JetStream-focused test parity, then update differences.md after verification.

Architecture: Build parity in vertical slices: protocol/client-kind and cluster fabric first, then JetStream API/runtime/storage, then RAFT replication and cluster integration, followed by monitoring/auth/config parity. Keep behavior Go-compatible at the network and API layers while isolating subsystems behind explicit interfaces.

Tech Stack: .NET 10, C# 14, xUnit 3, Shouldly, NSubstitute, NATS.NKeys, Serilog, Go test runner (go test) for parity validation.

Execution guardrails

Use @test-driven-development in every task.
If a test fails unexpectedly, switch to @systematic-debugging before patching.
Before any completion claim, run @verification-before-completion commands.
