feat(schema): publish the lenient resource schemas beside the strict ones - #1137
Merged
Conversation
…ones The etcd loader validates every stored document against LENIENT_SCHEMAS, but only the strict set was published, so a consumer that needed to know what a build will LOAD had to re-derive the strict-to-lenient transform by hand and hope it matched. dump-schema now writes both sets on every run: schemas/resources/ is unchanged (byte-identical strict write contract), and schemas/resources-lenient/ carries the same file names produced by resource_root_schema(resource, false) — the exact value Schemas::compile(false) builds each loader validator from. The five nested struct types that have no standalone validator take the same open_unknown_fields pass over the same struct-derived schema. The schema-drift job covers both directories, and now stages new files with --intent-to-add first so a file the dump starts emitting cannot pass as untracked. Three tests pin the published read contract: each lenient file equals what the loader compiles; no lenient file closes unknown fields at any depth; and per resource, a document carrying an unknown field at the deepest position that resource's write contract closes is rejected by the strict file and accepted by the lenient one. The table is exhaustive over RESOURCES, and the two resources that close nothing on write assert that instead. Also states, on WireDecision and in CLAUDE.md, the rule that keeps the gateway's direct control-plane HTTP channels forward-compatible: a struct decoding a control-plane response never denies unknown fields, and every field but the one the decision hinges on defaults.

Pull request overview
This PR publishes the gateway’s lenient (etcd loader) JSON Schemas alongside the existing strict (write-contract) schemas, so downstream consumers can reliably determine what a given build will load from etcd without re-deriving strict→lenient behavior.
Changes:
- Generate and commit
schemas/resources-lenient/on everydump-schemarun, in lockstep withschemas/resources/. - Extend CI schema-drift checking to detect newly generated (previously untracked) schema files.
- Add characterization tests that pin the provenance and “no closure at any depth” guarantees for the published lenient schemas, plus README + internal guidance updates.

The README claimed the two published sets differ only by additionalProperties. Four resources relax more on read — api_key (McpAccess.allow), guardrail (semantic embedding_model and thresholds, custom script), mcp_policy (allow), and model (the per-kind not/anyOf lists) — because their producers take the strict flag. A consumer that modelled the lenient set as "strict minus the closures" would be wrong about exactly the resources where being wrong costs the most, so the list is now documented as a table and pinned by a test that fails on an unregistered divergence. Three more corrections in the same area: - The five nested struct types are not a contract on either path. They have no standalone validator, and they are generated with schemars' default Option rendering, which the embedding resources do not all use: rate_limit standalone renders rpm as ["integer","null"] while model.schema.json#/definitions/RateLimit renders it as "integer". Said so, and pointed at the embedding resource's definitions entry as the authoritative copy. - Passing a lenient file is necessary, not sufficient: the loader still deserialises, and rate_limit_policy runs a semantic pass. Named both. - An explicit do-not: never validate writes against resources-lenient/. The drift job now clears both directories before regenerating, so a file the dump STOPPED emitting shows up as a deletion instead of sitting in the tree and being vendored forever. Also adds the strict half of the provenance test, and corrects the open-on-write resource count (four, not three — guardrail_attachment was missing).
The published description said the schema closes both untagged variants against unknown fields in both validator sets. The read schema strips that closure at every depth like any other, so the claim was wrong in the file that now ships it — and it is API-reference text, not an internal note. States the write-path guard and why it is there, without naming the validator sets. Also trims the README layout tree to a sample: it listed a subset of the published files as if it were the whole set.

The relaxation table said the read path does not require it. It does: require_branch_property(b, "script") sits outside the strict branch, and the comment beside it says the asymmetry with the semantic fields is the point. A CP author acting on the old text would have relaxed a requirement the deployed data plane still enforces, and the guardrail would have vanished from the gateway instead of loading. The only strict/lenient difference on that branch is a default: "" annotation the strict producer strips because it sits beside minLength: 1 — no validation effect, but a form generator honouring it pre-fills a value the same branch refuses. Same for default: 0.75 on the semantic thresholds. Called out, and the RJSF bullet now says to generate forms from resources/ rather than its lenient twin. So the registry no longer carries prose nothing checks: it pins the exhaustive list of JSON paths at which the two sets disagree, which is what would have failed on the wrong claim in the first place. A new divergence, or a change to an existing one, moves a path. Two more corrections in the same file: the observability_exporter per-kind branches are closed on the write path only — on read they open like every other closure, and the tolerance stays non-silent because the loader takes that resource's unknown-field report off the strict schema. And a new test asserts both directories hold exactly what dump-schema emits, so an orphan left behind by a dropped resource fails locally and not only in CI.

#1137 landed `schemas/resources-lenient/` on main after this branch was cut. Those files are generated from the same doc comments this branch edits, so the merge left them carrying the pre-change descriptions — which the drift gate and the two characterization tests that compare the published set against what the loader compiles both catch. Regenerated with `cargo run -p aisix-core --bin dump-schema`. The four changed lines are the same four descriptions, in the lenient copies.

Problem
The gateway compiles two schema sets from the same producers:
SCHEMAS(strict, the write contract) andLENIENT_SCHEMAS(the schema the etcd snapshot loader validates every stored document against). Only the strict set was published, asschemas/resources/.That left anyone who needs to know what a given gateway build will load — as opposed to what it will accept on a declarative write — re-deriving the strict-to-lenient transformation by hand and hoping it matched. It is not a transformation a consumer can safely guess:
open_unknown_fieldsstripsadditionalProperties: falseat every depth, includingoneOfbranches and closures a producer injected by hand, and several strict-only mechanisms (closes_on_write, the model kindoneOf) apply only when the flag is set.What changed
dump-schemawrites both sets on every run, no flag:schemas/resources/— unchanged, byte-identical, the strict write contract.schemas/resources-lenient/— new, same 20 file names, produced byschema::resource_root_schema(resource, false). That is the exact valueSchemas::compile(false)builds each loader validator from, so the published read contract cannot drift from the enforced one. The five nested struct types that have no standalone validator (ensemble,rate_limit,routing,semantic,embedding) take the sameschema::open_unknown_fieldspass over the sameschema_for!producer.For every resource, the lenient file carries no
additionalProperties: falseanywhere. For four of them the read contract relaxes something further, because their producers take thestrictflag:api_key(McpAccess.allownot required),guardrail(thesemantickind'sembedding_modeland thresholds, thecustomkind'sscript),mcp_policy(allownot required), andmodel(the per-kindnot/anyOflists that forbid a knob a kind never resolves are shorter, so a stored row keeps loading andModel::strip_kind_inapplicabledrops the dead knob).schemas/README.mdtabulates them and a test fails on an unregistered divergence — modelling the lenient set as "strict minus the closures" is wrong for exactly the resources where being wrong costs the most.Two things a consumer of the new directory must know. Passing a lenient file is necessary, not sufficient: the loader still deserialises the document, and
rate_limit_policyruns a semantic cross-field pass, either of which can still take the row. And the five nested struct types (ensemble,rate_limit,routing,semantic,embedding) are not a contract on either path — they have no standalone validator, and they are generated with schemars' defaultOption<T>rendering, which the embedding resources do not all use (rate_limitstandalone rendersrpmas["integer","null"];model.schema.json#/definitions/RateLimitrenders it as"integer"). The authoritative copy of a nested type is the embedding resource's owndefinitionsentry. Both points are stated in the README, which is what a vendoring consumer reads.The
schema drift (resources)job covers both directories, and closes two holes it already had: it clears both directories before regenerating, so a file the dump STOPPED emitting shows up as a deletion instead of sitting in the tree and being vendored forever; and it stages with--intent-to-addfirst, so a file the dump newly emits shows up instead of passing as untracked.Tests
Three additions to
crates/aisix-core/tests/resource_schema_characterization.rs:resource_root_schema(resource, false)for the lenient set,(…, true)for the strict one. That is the provenance claim: the file is the validator's own schema, not a transformation that happens to agree today;additionalProperties: false, except for the four resources named in a registry table that carries a one-line reason each;Seven resources place the probe below the document root — the case a root-only check cannot see, and the one an older gateway got wrong before #1014. Six close only their root and record that explicitly.
guardrail_attachmentandcache_policyclose nothing at all on write, so no document can separate their two files; they are asserted in the opposite direction (the strict file must still accept the unknown field), which fails the day either one closes. The tables are exhaustive overschema::RESOURCES, so a new resource cannot be added without deciding which it belongs in.Each of the three was mutation-checked: making
open_unknown_fieldsshallow, and re-closing a nested definition in a committed file, both turn them red.No
tests/e2e/case: the change adds no runtime behavior a running gateway can exhibit. It publishes a build artifact, and the contract it pins — published file versus compiled loader schema — is exactly what the tests above assert directly.Behavior and compatibility
No runtime behavior changes. The strict files are byte-identical, so no existing consumer is affected.
schemas/resources-lenient/is a new published artifact.One thing a consumer of the new directory must not do: validate writes against it. The lenient files are deliberately open, and per the table above they also drop several
requiredentries, so swapping the path in a vendoring script silently turns input validation into an accept-almost-anything gate.schemas/resources/remains the schema for anything a user submits;schemas/resources-lenient/answers only "will this build load this stored document". The README says so in those words.Rider
Separately, this states a rule the gateway's direct HTTP channels to the control plane were already following but had written nowhere: a data plane may run against a control plane many releases newer than itself, so a struct that decodes a control-plane response never carries
#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]and defaults every field except the one the decision hinges on. Recorded as a doc comment onWireDecisionand one section inCLAUDE.md, which covers both crates involved.Summary by CodeRabbit
