test(api): replay documented REST examples against a real handler - #2466
Conversation
Closes scope item 7 of #2112, added after #2464 shipped a reference page whose POST examples all returned 400. The collapse removed the legacy RecipeCriteria body. docs/user/api-reference.md kept presenting it as the required body in prose, a schema block and four curl examples, and a full make qualify passed. Route conformance compares the spec's paths to the mux and never enters an operation; the docs-claims gate parses aicr <cmd> --flag and knows nothing about REST bodies. The published request shape had no gate at all -- only E2E caught it, and only for the one request E2E happens to make. TestDocumentedAPIExamplesAreAccepted extracts every curl aimed at a local aicrd from the tracked docs and replays it against an httptest server wired as Serve wires it. In process, so it runs in make test rather than only in E2E, which is where the failing example was invisible. 42 requests across six documents. Status codes only; response bodies belong to the schema gate. It found eight broken examples on first run, none of them introduced by this change: - api-reference "Using gpu alias" omitted intent, which that combination requires (400). - Two rate-limit examples used curl -I on endpoints that accept only GET and POST (405), and one of those also omitted criteria. - automation.md's three debug examples omitted service and intent, one also using -I. - DEVELOPMENT.md had two recipe calls missing required dimensions. All fixed by making the requests valid rather than by exempting them. TestDocumentedAPISourcesAreComplete keeps the source list honest: any tracked markdown mentioning the local aicrd host must be listed, so examples cannot escape the gate by moving to a new page. It earned its place immediately, finding tests/e2e/README.md and demos/private-signing.md, which I had missed. ADRs under docs/design are exempt as historical records. Both gates are mutation-verified. Restoring the legacy RecipeCriteria body to one example fails the replay gate -- that is the #2464 regression, reproduced and caught. Dropping a file from the source list fails the completeness gate. Breaking extraction trips the floor of 25 replayed requests, which counts requests actually replayed rather than lines matched: #2462 shipped a guard that counted substrings and could not fire. Requests the gate cannot model faithfully -- bodies read from a file, URLs with placeholders, piped input -- are skipped and logged rather than silently dropped, so the skip list is visible in test output. Two findings for the freeze, not addressed here because both change behavior: the recipe endpoints reject HEAD where they accept GET, and GET echoes os/platform as "any" where an equivalent POST omits them.

MAJOR — Exercise documented error responses under their required server configuration. The API reference says this request returns HTTP 400 after starting aicrd with H100/L40 allowlists, but this test replays it against the default allow-all fixture and treats the observed 200 as success because wantStatus == 0 only rejects 4xx. Adding # expect-status: 400 to the existing example makes the exact-head test fail with got 200, proving the gate currently does not enforce its status-code claim. Minimum correction: associate this example with an allowlist-configured server fixture and assert 400; apply the same treatment to every documented non-success example.
…ation
Four review findings. The first was the serious one, and it was right.
The allowlist section tells the operator to start aicrd with
AICR_ALLOWED_ACCELERATORS=h100,l40 and then shows accelerator=gb200 returning
400. The gate replayed that against the default allow-all fixture, got 200,
and passed, because a request with no pinned status only fails on 4xx. The
example was covered in name only: the one status the page actually promises
was the one nothing checked. Confirmed before fixing by asserting 400 and
watching it report got 200.
docsExpectations pins such a request to its status and to the server
configuration it is documented under. The association cannot live in the page
-- the MDX gate rejects HTML comments outside code fences, and an MDX comment
renders literally on GitHub -- so it lives beside the test in the shape this
repository already uses for acknowledged exceptions, including the part that
makes such a list safe: TestDocsExpectationsAreLive fails when an entry stops
matching a documented request, so a reworded example cannot leave a dead entry
describing a contract nothing exercises. Servers are built per configuration
and cached.
Swept the rest of the sources for documented non-success examples. This was
the only one; the other 4xx mentions are prose about rejection conditions with
no request demonstrating them.
Three parser defects, each of which cost coverage silently:
- continuesCommand tracked only single quotes, so a double-quoted multi-line
body looked complete, tokenizing then failed, and the request was dropped
with a skip log while the floor stayed satisfied by its neighbors.
- --request=POST and -XPOST fell through as unrecognized flags and the
example was replayed as a GET. Worse than skipping: a passing GET reports
coverage for a documented POST.
- The parser read past the pipe, so tr's -d in `... | tr -d '\r'` became
curl's --data. A documented GET was replayed as a POST carrying a carriage
return and reported as broken. A false failure is the worse direction: it
teaches the reader to distrust the gate. Fixing it raised the replayed
count from 42 to 46.
TestParseCurlRequest and TestContinuesCommand cover these; each case was
confirmed to fail against the unfixed code.
Also strip the carriage return in the retry example. HTTP headers are CRLF, so
awk hands sleep a trailing \r and it fails instead of waiting. Verified
through the pipeline rather than by inspection.

Pushed The MAJOR: documented statuses were not enforced under their documented configurationConfirmed before fixing. Adding The page tells the operator to start aicrd with The directive could not live in the page. My first attempt used an HTML comment before the fence; Swept the rest per "apply the same treatment to every documented non-success example": this was the only one. The other 4xx mentions are prose describing rejection conditions with no request demonstrating them. The two parser findings, plus a third they surfaced
The third I would not have found without fixing the second. It is the worst of the three: a gate that fails on correct docs teaches the reader to distrust it.

curlSegment returned every token when no curl stage existed, and parseCurlRequest gated only on the substring "curl", so a line that merely mentioned it was replayed as a GET. Probed before fixing: `echo "http://localhost:8080/v1/recipe#curl"`, a prose comment, and `wget "http://..." # like curl` were all accepted as requests -- inflating the count and reporting coverage for text that is not a request. curlSegment now returns nil with no curl stage, and parseCurlRequest skips an empty segment. Fixing that left the wget case still accepted, because "curl" in its trailing comment formed a token. The tokenizer now honors an unquoted # that starts a word as a comment, which is the shell rule. A quoted # stays literal, so a URL fragment still parses -- covered by its own case, since the obvious implementation of this would have broken it. The recovered request count is unchanged at 46, so no real example was lost. Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>

A fragment is never sent on the wire, but splitting rawURL on the host string carried one into the request line, so a documented example with a fragment would replay a target curl never issues. The regression case added in the previous commit asserted that wrong behavior as expected output -- it pinned "/v1/recipe?service=eks#frag". Fixing the parser and leaving that assertion would have kept the defect frozen in a test named for a different concern, so the case now covers both rules that meet there: a quoted # still parses as a fragment rather than starting a comment, and the fragment does not reach the replayed target. url.Parse also replaces the hand-rolled host split, so a URL that merely contains the host substring elsewhere no longer matches; the host is compared against the parsed Host field. Recovered request count is unchanged at 46. Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>

Risk Assessment
Test-only plus doc corrections. No production code changes.
Two findings for the freeze (not addressed here)
Both change behavior, so they don't belong in a test PR — flagging for the v1 decision:
HEADwhere they acceptGET(405). HTTP semantics generally expect HEAD wherever GET is supported;/metricsalready allows both. This is why two documentedcurl -Iexamples were broken.GETechoesos/platformas"any"where an equivalentPOSTomits them (carried over from feat(api)!: collapse the REST families into a single /v1 #2464).
