feat(api): publish and gate JSON Schemas for the v1 artifacts - #2470
Conversation
Covers scope items 3, 4, 6 and the schema half of 5 of #2113. Bundle layout follows separately. api/aicr/v1/schemas/ holds JSON Schema documents for Snapshot, RecipeResult, RecipeMetadata, RecipeMixin and RecipeCriteria, generated from the Go types by tools/schemagen and regenerated with make schemas. Criteria enums come from the same accessors the CLI and REST layers validate against, so a new accelerator appears in the published schema without anyone remembering to add it. Recipe is deliberately absent from the covered set. It is not a distinct wire type -- what callers post and receive is RecipeResult -- and an alias schema would publish a contract nothing emits. Reflection rather than a schema library, for the same reason oasdiff is a pinned binary: a generator must compile against the types, so importing one would put it in the module graph and therefore in the SBOM and vulnerability surface of the shipped binaries, for something that only runs at build time. The cost is that pkg/schema is hand-written, so it covers only the shapes the artifacts use -- struct, embedded struct, pointer, slice, map, scalars, any -- and fails on anything else rather than emitting a plausible guess. Writing the tests found a real bug in that reflector. encoding/json promotes the exported fields of an embedded *unexported* struct type, and reflect reports IsExported()==false for such a field, so the whole embedded block was dropped. Snapshot embeds an exported header.Header and looked correct, which is exactly how this would have shipped: invisible until the first artifact embedded an internal type. The anchor test marshals a real value and compares the encoder's key set to the schema's property set, so the reflector is checked against the encoder rather than against my belief about it. Three tests, failing for three different reasons: - TestCommittedSchemasAreFresh: committed files match the current Go types. - TestSchemasDescribeRealArtifacts: the 110 committed overlays and 4 mixins validate against their schema. Freshness proves the schema matches the type; this proves the type matches what is on disk. It counts documents actually validated, not files globbed -- counting the glob would let the kind filter skip everything and still report success. - TestArtifactSchemasAreCompatible: generated schemas against the frozen baseline, failing on removed fields, newly required fields, changed types and removed enum values. Additive passes. Exceptions follow the contract established by api-diff and openapi-diff, including the half that makes such a list safe: an acknowledgement matching no reported break FAILS. Entries match on rule, kind and path; rule alone would let one field's exception cover the same break anywhere in the artifact. The scheduled ADR-022 removals are the expected occupants, since retiring an alpha value is an enum-value-removed break. Every rule verified by breaking what it protects: field removed, type changed, enum value removed, field became required, acknowledgement narrowed to the wrong path, stale acknowledgement, and an additive field that must pass.

Four findings. Three were MAJOR and two of them exposed real bugs in schemas
this PR was about to publish.
The document validator only recursed into objects: it never checked a declared
type, an enum, or array elements. Deepening it immediately failed on the
committed catalog, in two ways:
- ComponentRef.Source carries no omitempty, so the reflector marked it
required. Only 17 of the 110 committed overlays set it. The published
schema would have rejected the other 93.
The mistake was conceptual, not mechanical. I derived "required" from what
the encoder always writes, which is the contract for an artifact AICR
emits and says nothing about one a human authors. Options gained an
Authored flag; RecipeMetadata, RecipeMixin and RecipeCriteria declare
nothing required, RecipeResult and Snapshot still do.
- GetCriteria*Types() deliberately omits the "any" wildcard --
docs/contributor/api-server.md records that the OpenAPI parity test strips
it before comparing -- so every overlay written with `service: any` failed
against its own schema. schemagen adds it back.
Neither would have been caught by the presence-only checks the validator had.
Types with custom JSON encoding were expanded structurally. Probed before
fixing: time.Time produced {"type":"object"} while the encoder writes an
RFC 3339 string, and []byte produced an array of integers where the encoder
writes base64. Both would have published schemas that reject every document
they describe. []byte is now described as a base64 string, since its output is
fully defined; anything else implementing json.Marshaler or
encoding.TextMarshaler is rejected with an actionable message, per the
fail-closed rule in the package comment. Value and pointer receivers are both
checked.
The compatibility gate could not see a previously free-form field becoming an
enum: with no baseline values there is nothing to find missing, while every
document outside the new set starts failing. Added as enum-restriction-added.
make schemas now pins GOFLAGS=-mod=readonly rather than inheriting ambient
module configuration.
The five committed schemas are unchanged by the marshaler work and changed by
the authored/wildcard fixes, so the baseline is re-accepted. Every new rule is
mutation-checked: enum restriction, wrong scalar type, custom marshaler,
[]byte, and the authored/emitted split.

A second review round found four defects, all one theme I had missed
entirely: null.
Probed before fixing, on a zero value:
{"ptrNoOmit":null,"dig":null}
Every nil-able Go type without omitempty -- pointer, slice, map, interface --
is written by the encoder as JSON null. The reflector described those fields as
non-null and, for pointers, excluded them from required. So the published
schema rejected the encoder's own output, which is the worst kind of wrong for
an artifact contract: it looks authoritative and disagrees with reality.
Now such a field is required (the key is always present) and typed as
[X, "null"] -- the 2020-12 way, since this dialect has no nullable keyword.
Marshaling moved to an explicit ordered struct because these documents are
committed and compared byte for byte.
Byte-slice detection matched only the exact []byte type, so a defined type such
as fell through to the array branch and was described as a
list of integers while the encoder writes base64. Matched by element kind now.
The validator waved every null through, so a document could carry null where
the schema permits only a string and the gate still called it valid. It now
reports that, and schemaNode reads in both forms the dialect allows --
reading it as a string alone left Type empty for every nullable field, which
matchesType treats as unconstrained, silently disabling the checks on exactly
the fields this change made nullable.
One of my own tests had to be corrected rather than extended: it asserted a
non-omitempty pointer was not required, which is what led to the schema
describing it as non-null. TestGenerateMatchesEncodingJSONForZeroValue is the
nil-side companion to the anchor test -- the populated one cannot see this,
because nothing is nil.
Verified by mutation: removing nullability, removing byte-slice handling, and
(via a temporary fixture carrying an explicit null) the validator's null
rejection.

The byte-slice branch ran first, so any []byte carrying its own MarshalJSON was
described as a base64 string regardless of what it emits. Probed before fixing:
schema : {"o":{"type":"string","contentEncoding":"base64"},
"raw":{"type":"string","contentEncoding":"base64"}}
encoder: {"raw":[1,2],"o":{"a":1}}
json.RawMessage is the common case and emits arbitrary JSON. A named byte slice
with a marshaler can emit an object. Both were published as base64 strings.
I introduced this ordering in the commit that added byte-slice support: the
rule was right and the sequence was wrong, which is the harder half to see,
because both branches look correct in isolation.
Marshaler detection now runs first. A plain byte slice has no marshaler so it
still reaches the base64 branch, which remains the one custom encoding whose
output is fully defined.
Regression cases for json.RawMessage and a named byte slice with an
object-emitting marshaler. Reverting the order fails three cases in
TestGenerateFailsClosed. The five committed schemas are unchanged, so this is
latent today and would have surfaced the first time an artifact carried a raw
JSON field.

Summary
Publishes JSON Schemas for the v1 artifacts and gates them against a frozen baseline. Covers scope items 3, 4, 6 and the schema half of 5 of #2113; the bundle-layout half (items 1, 2, 7, 8) follows separately.
api/aicr/v1/schemas/holds schemas forSnapshot,RecipeResult,RecipeMetadata,RecipeMixinandRecipeCriteria, generated from the Go types bytools/schemagenand regenerated withmake schemas.Motivation / Context
Artifact schemas are the second of the four surfaces ROADMAP §1 freezes at v1. Integrators authoring catalogs or consuming snapshots have had no machine-readable description of these shapes, and the project has had nothing to diff when a field is removed or narrowed.
Criteria enums come from the same accessors the CLI and REST layers validate against (
recipe.GetCriteria*Types()), so a new accelerator appears in the published schema without anyone remembering to add it. Hardcoding them would create a third place to update and a new way for the published contract to be wrong.Fixes: N/A
Related: #2113, #2370
Type of Change
Component(s) Affected
cmd/aicrd,pkg/server) — schemas describe its artifacts.github/) — new gates run inmake testdocs/)Implementation Notes
Reflection rather than a schema library
A generator has to compile against the types, so it cannot be a pinned binary the way
oasdiffis. Importing a schema library would put it in the module graph — and therefore in the SBOM and vulnerability surface of the shipped binaries — for something that only runs at build time. This is the same reasoning that madeoasdiffa binary in #2468.The cost is that
pkg/schemais hand-written, so it is deliberately narrow: it covers struct, embedded struct, pointer, slice, map, scalars andany, and fails on anything else rather than emitting a plausible guess. A schema that silently describes an unsupported type wrongly is worse than none, because the diff gate would then protect the wrong shape.Recipeis deliberately not in the covered set. It is not a distinct wire type — what callers post and receive isRecipeResult— and an alias schema would publish a contract nothing emits.Writing the tests found a real bug in the reflector
encoding/jsonpromotes the exported fields of an embedded unexported struct type, andreflectreportsIsExported() == falsefor such a field — so the entire embedded block was being dropped.Snapshotembeds an exportedheader.Headerand looked correct, which is exactly how this would have shipped: invisible until the first artifact embedded an internal type, at which pointkindandapiVersionvanish from a published schema.The anchor test marshals a real value and compares the encoder's key set to the schema's property set, so the reflector is checked against
encoding/jsonrather than against my belief about it.Three gates, failing for three different reasons
TestCommittedSchemasAreFresh— committed files match the current Go types.TestSchemasDescribeRealArtifacts— the 110 committed overlays and 4 mixins validate against their schema. Freshness proves the schema matches the type; this proves the type matches what is on disk. It counts documents actually validated, not files globbed — counting the glob would let thekindfilter skip everything and still report success (the inert-guard shape from test(cli): gate documented CLI invocations against the surface baseline #2462).TestArtifactSchemasAreCompatible— generated schemas againstapi/aicr/v1/schemas/baseline/, failing on removed fields, newly required fields, changed types and removed enum values. Additive passes.Exceptions follow the contract established by
api-diffandopenapi-diff, including the half that makes such a list safe: an acknowledgement matching no reported break FAILS. Entries match on rule, kind and path — rule alone would let one field's exception cover the same break anywhere in the artifact.Testing
Every rule verified by breaking what it protects, then restoring:
[field-removed] RecipeResult at constraints[type-changed] RecipeResult at configuration[enum-value-removed] RecipeCriteria at spec.service[field-became-required] RecipeResult at configurationkindfiltervalidated 0 RecipeMetadata documents out of 110 filesRisk Assessment
New package, new tool, generated files, and docs. No production code paths change.
One thing worth deciding at review time
These schemas embed
aicr.run/v1alpha2in enum values today. When #2416 flips emitters in v0.22 the regenerated schemas change, and the v0.23 alpha retirement (#2417) will register as anenum-value-removedbreak needing an acknowledgement entry. That is the mechanism working as designed, but it does mean this PR creates a new published artifact that participates in the ADR-022 migration. If we would rather not publish schemas until the emitter track settles, holding this for v0.22 is a legitimate call.Checklist
