# Complete 93 Stub Features — Implementation Plan

> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers-extended-cc:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

**Goal:** Implement all 93 stub features across `opts.go` (config binding) and `auth.go / jwt.go / auth_callout.go / signal.go` (auth + signals).

**Architecture:** Two parallel sessions — Session A binds `appsettings.json` to `ServerOptions` using `Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration`; Session B implements the full authentication dispatch in `NatsServer.Auth.cs` plus JWT operator validation, auth callouts, and OS signal handling.

**Tech Stack:** .NET 10 / C# 13, `System.Text.Json`, `Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json`, `BCrypt.Net-Next` (already in csproj), `NATS.NKeys` (to be added), `System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates`, `System.Runtime.InteropServices.PosixSignalRegistration`

## SESSION A — Configuration Binding (67 stubs, opts.go)

### Task A1: Add JSON attributes to ServerOptions.cs

**Files:**
- Modify: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ServerOptions.cs`

The existing `ServerOptions` class has C# PascalCase property names. JSON binding needs `[JsonPropertyName]` attributes so that `"port"`, `"cluster"`, `"jetstream"` etc. map correctly.

**Step 1: Add the attribute block**

In `ServerOptions.cs`, add `using System.Text.Json.Serialization;` at the top, then add `[JsonPropertyName]` to every property whose JSON key differs from its C# name. Key mappings (Go config key → C# property):

```csharp
[JsonPropertyName("port")]            public int    Port                { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("host")]            public string Host                { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("server_name")]     public string ServerName          { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("client_advertise")]public string ClientAdvertise     { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("pid_file")]        public string PidFile             { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("ports_file_dir")]  public string PortsFileDir        { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("trace")]           public bool   Trace               { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("debug")]           public bool   Debug               { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("logfile")]         public string LogFile             { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("log_size_limit")]  public long   LogSizeLimit        { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("max_connections")] public int    MaxConn             { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("max_payload")]     public int    MaxPayload          { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("max_pending")]     public long   MaxPending          { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("ping_interval")]   public TimeSpan PingInterval      { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("ping_max")]        public int    MaxPingsOut         { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("write_deadline")]  public TimeSpan WriteDeadline     { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("lame_duck_duration")]    public TimeSpan LameDuckDuration    { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("lame_duck_grace_period")] public TimeSpan LameDuckGracePeriod { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("http_port")]       public int    HttpPort            { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("https_port")]      public int    HttpsPort           { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("http_base_path")]  public string HttpBasePath        { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("username")]        public string Username            { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("password")]        public string Password            { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("authorization")]   public string Authorization       { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("auth_timeout")]    public double AuthTimeout         { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("no_auth_user")]    public string NoAuthUser          { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("system_account")]  public string SystemAccount       { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[JsonPropertyName("accounts")]        public List<Account> Accounts     { get; set; } = [];
[JsonPropertyName("cluster")]         public object? ClusterOpts        { get; set; }  // ClusterOpts - leave as object for JSON
[JsonPropertyName("gateway")]         public object? GatewayOpts        { get; set; }  // GatewayOpts
[JsonPropertyName("leafnodes")]       public object? LeafNodeOpts       { get; set; }  // LeafNodeOpts
[JsonPropertyName("jetstream")]       public bool   JetStream           { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("store_dir")]       public string StoreDir            { get; set; } = string.Empty;
```

Note: Only add attributes for properties that need non-default name mapping. Properties whose JSON key exactly matches the C# property name (case-insensitive) don't need attributes.

**Step 2: Build to verify no errors**

```bash
dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -3
```
Expected: `0 Error(s)`

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ServerOptions.cs
git commit -m "feat: add JsonPropertyName attributes to ServerOptions for appsettings.json binding"
```

### Task A3: Create Config/ServerOptionsConfiguration.cs

**Files:**
- Create: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/Config/ServerOptionsConfiguration.cs`

## SESSION B — Auth Implementation (26 stubs)

### Task B1: Add NATS.NKeys NuGet package

**Files:**
- Modify: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj`

> **Note:** `BCrypt.Net-Next` is already in the csproj. Only `NATS.NKeys` is missing.

**Step 1: Add the package reference**

```bash
dotnet add /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj \
  package NATS.NKeys
```

**Step 2: Verify it restores**

```bash
dotnet restore /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj 2>&1 | tail -3
```
Expected: no errors.

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj
git commit -m "chore: add NATS.NKeys NuGet package for NKey signature verification"
```

### Task B2: Create Auth/JwtProcessor additions (3 stubs)

**Files:**
- Modify: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/Auth/JwtProcessor.cs`

Adds `ReadOperatorJwt`, `ReadOperatorJwtInternal`, and `ValidateTrustedOperators`.

**Step 1: Add methods to JwtProcessor.cs**

Read the existing `JwtProcessor.cs` first to find the correct insertion point (after the existing static methods, before the closing `}`).

```csharp
/// <summary>
/// Reads an operator JWT from a file path. Returns (claims, error).
/// Mirrors Go <c>ReadOperatorJWT</c> in server/jwt.go.
/// </summary>
public static (AccountClaims? Claims, Exception? Error) ReadOperatorJwt(string path)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
        return (null, new ArgumentException("operator JWT path is empty"));

    string jwtString;
    try
    {
        jwtString = File.ReadAllText(path, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII).Trim();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return (null, new IOException($"error reading operator JWT file: {ex.Message}", ex));
    }
    return ReadOperatorJwtInternal(jwtString);
}

/// <summary>
/// Decodes an operator JWT string. Returns (claims, error).
/// Mirrors Go <c>readOperatorJWT</c> in server/jwt.go.
/// </summary>
public static (AccountClaims? Claims, Exception? Error) ReadOperatorJwtInternal(string jwtString)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(jwtString))
        return (null, new ArgumentException("operator JWT string is empty"));
    if (!jwtString.StartsWith(JwtPrefix, StringComparison.Ordinal))
        return (null, new FormatException($"operator JWT does not start with expected prefix '{JwtPrefix}'"));

    // Stub: full decoding requires a NATS JWT library integration.
    // TODO: decode base64url parts, verify signature, return OperatorClaims.
    var claims = AccountClaims.TryDecode(jwtString);
    if (claims == null)
        return (null, new FormatException("failed to decode operator JWT — full JWT parsing not yet implemented"));
    return (claims, null);
}

/// <summary>
/// Validates the trusted operator JWTs in options.
/// Mirrors Go <c>validateTrustedOperators</c> in server/jwt.go.
/// </summary>
public static Exception? ValidateTrustedOperators(ServerOptions opts)
{
    if (opts.TrustedOperators == null || opts.TrustedOperators.Count == 0)
        return null;

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(opts.TrustedKeys) || opts.TrustedKeys is not null)
    {
        return new InvalidOperationException(
            "cannot use trusted_operators with trusted_keys configuration");
    }

    // Each operator should be a well-formed JWT.
    foreach (var op in opts.TrustedOperators)
    {
        var jwtStr = op?.ToString() ?? string.Empty;
        var (_, err) = ReadOperatorJwtInternal(jwtStr);
        if (err != null)
            return new InvalidOperationException($"invalid trusted operator JWT: {err.Message}");
    }
    return null;
}
```

> **Note:** `TrustedKeys` field — check if it exists on `ServerOptions`. If not, skip the trustedKeys conflict check.

**Step 2: Build to verify**

```bash
dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -3
```
Expected: `0 Error(s)`

### Task B3: Create Auth/AuthHandler additions (5 stubs)

**Files:**
- Modify: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/Auth/AuthHandler.cs`

Adds `ProcessUserPermissionsTemplate`, `GetTlsAuthDcs`, `CheckClientTlsCertSubject`,
`ValidateProxies`, `GetAuthErrClosedState`.

**Step 1: Read auth.go to understand each function (lines 427-1700)**

```bash
sed -n '427,600p' /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/golang/nats-server/server/auth.go

```

**Step 2: Add to AuthHandler.cs** (insert before the final `}`)

```csharp

    var subject = cert.Subject;
    var dcs = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    foreach (var part in subject.Split(','))
    {

        if (trimmed.StartsWith("DC=", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            if (dcs.Length > 0) dcs.Append('.');
            dcs.Append(trimmed[3..]);
        }
    }
    return dcs.ToString();
}

/// <summary>

        if (key.StartsWith("tag.", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && tags != null)
        {
            var tagKey = key[4..];

        }
        return m.Value;
    });
}
```

> **Note:** `UserPermissionLimits` and `ClosedState` — confirm these types exist in `AuthTypes.cs`. If `ClosedState` is not defined, check `ClientTypes.cs`. Add any missing minimal types.

**Step 3: Build to verify**

```bash
dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -3
```

### Task B4: Create NatsServer.Auth.cs (13 NatsServer auth stubs)

**Files:**
- Create: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/NatsServer.Auth.cs`

**Step 1: Read auth.go for the 13 NatsServer methods**

**Step 3: Check required fields on NatsServer / ClientConnection**

The code above calls:
- `c.Kind` → check `ClientConnection.Kind` property
- `c.GetAuthToken()`, `c.GetNkey()`, `c.GetNkeySig()`, `c.GetNonce()` → may need adding
- `c.GetUsername()`, `c.GetPassword()` → may need adding
- `c.SetAccount(acc)`, `c.SetPermissions(p)`, `c.SetAuthError(e)` → may need adding
- `c.GetTlsCertificate()` → may need adding
- `_trustedKeys`, `_globalAccount`, `_info` → already in NatsServer.cs

If any of those methods/properties don't exist on `ClientConnection`, add stub implementations:
```csharp
// In ClientConnection.cs or ClientTypes.cs, add:
public string GetAuthToken() => _connectMsg?.AuthToken ?? string.Empty;
public string GetNkey() => _connectMsg?.Nkey ?? string.Empty;
public string GetNkeySig() => _connectMsg?.Sig ?? string.Empty;
public string GetNonce() => _nonce ?? string.Empty;
public string GetUsername() => _connectMsg?.User ?? string.Empty;
public string GetPassword() => _connectMsg?.Pass ?? string.Empty;
public X509Certificate2? GetTlsCertificate() => _tlsCert;
public void SetAuthError(Exception? err) => _authErr = err;
public void SetAccount(Account? acc) { /* wire to _acc */ }
public void SetPermissions(Permissions? p) { /* wire to _perms */ }
```

**Step 4: Build to verify**

```bash
dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -5
```
Expected: `0 Error(s)` (some warnings about unused fields are OK)

### Task B5: Create Auth/AuthCallout.cs (3 stubs)

**Files:**
- Create: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/Auth/AuthCallout.cs`

**Step 1: Read auth_callout.go (lines 36-500)**

```bash
cat /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/golang/nats-server/server/auth_callout.go
```

**Step 2: Write Auth/AuthCallout.cs** as a partial class extension of `NatsServer`

```csharp

    public static bool ProcessClientOrLeafCallout(NatsServer server, ClientConnection c, ServerOptions opts)
    {
        // TODO: full implementation requires internal NATS connection + async request/reply.
        // For now, fall back to standard auth if no callout response.

        {
            Host = c.RemoteAddress,
            Id   = c.Cid,
            Kind = c.Kind.ToString().ToLowerInvariant(),

```

Also update `NatsServer.Auth.cs` to use the static helper:

```csharp
internal bool ProcessClientOrLeafCallout(ClientConnection c, ServerOptions opts)
    => AuthCallout.ProcessClientOrLeafCallout(this, c, opts);
```

**Step 3: Build to verify**

### Task B6: Create NatsServer.Signals.cs (1 stub)

**Files:**
- Create: `dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/NatsServer.Signals.cs`

**Step 1: Read signal.go for full context**

```bash
cat /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/golang/nats-server/server/signal.go

### Task B8: Update DB and commit Session B

**Step 1: Mark all 26 auth/jwt/callout/signal stubs complete**

```bash
sqlite3 /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/porting.db "
UPDATE features SET status='complete' WHERE id IN (
  354,355,357,358,359,360,361,362,363,364,
  365,366,369,370,371,372,378,379,380,381,
  382,383,1973,1974,1976,3156
);
SELECT 'Updated: ' || changes();
"
```
Expected: `Updated: 26`

**Step 2: Generate report and verify all stubs gone**

```bash
./reports/generate-report.sh
sqlite3 /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/porting.db \
  "SELECT status, count(*) FROM features WHERE status IN ('stub','not_started') GROUP BY status;"
```
Expected: no rows (all stubs resolved).

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add \
  dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj \
  dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/Auth/JwtProcessor.cs \

  porting.db reports/current.md
git commit -m "feat: session B — auth implementation + signals (26 stubs complete)"
```

---

## Completion Verification

After both sessions merge:

```bash
# 1. Full build
dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -3

# 2. Full test suite
dotnet test /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/dotnet/tests/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.Tests/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server.Tests.csproj -c Release 2>&1 | tail -5

# 3. Confirm zero stubs remain
sqlite3 /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/natsnet/porting.db \
  "SELECT count(*) as remaining_stubs FROM features WHERE status='stub';"
```
Expected: `0 Error(s)`, `Passed! - Failed: 0`, `remaining_stubs = 0`
