Summary

Ships the first two programmatic assertions for the cross-step invariant framework (adcp#2639 — follow-up to the adcp-client-side #692/#713). Both were previously reviewer-only checks in universal/idempotency.yaml and universal/security.yaml; converting them to runtime gates means a seller who leaks cached state or echoes credentials on error fails the storyboard at run time rather than sliding past review.

Wires the two assertions to static/compliance/source/universal/idempotency.yaml via the new top-level invariants: [...] field.

What changed

  • static/compliance/source/universal/idempotency.yaml — adds invariants: [idempotency.conflict_no_payload_leak, context.no_secret_echo] with a comment explaining how runners load the modules.
  • server/src/compliance/assertions/context-no-secret-echo.ts — on every step response, walks the body and fails if it contains Authorization: Bearer <token> literals, the verbatim value of test_kit.auth.api_key (when ≥8 chars), or property names like Authorization / api_key / bearer / x-api-key at any depth.
  • server/src/compliance/assertions/idempotency-conflict-no-payload-leak.ts — on error steps whose code is IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT / CONFLICT, flags any property not in the short allowlist (code, message, status, retry_after, correlation_id, request_id, operation_id). Catches budget/start_time/nested cached_payload/error.* shapes that a naive handler might serialize for "debugging".
  • server/src/compliance/assertions/index.ts — import barrel that triggers registration at load time.
  • server/tests/unit/compliance-assertions.test.ts — 14 unit tests covering both hooks: passes on clean responses, fails on each leak pattern, ignores short api_key placeholders, walks arrays, etc.
  • package.json — bumps @adcp/client to ^5.8.1 for the registerAssertion re-exports from @adcp/client/testing.

Why these two first

Each converts an existing reviewer check (text in YAML that humans were expected to eyeball) into a runtime gate. That's where the leverage is — the reviewer-check prose in key_reuse_conflict explicitly flags the stolen-key read oracle, and security.mdx warns against credential echo. Without runtime enforcement those pass silently.

Deferred to follow-ups:

Loading modules

Runners that drive this storyboard must import the assertion modules before calling runStoryboard. Either:

adcp storyboard run --invariants ./server/src/compliance/assertions/index.js ...

or programmatically:

import '@adcp/adcp/server/src/compliance/assertions/index.js';
import { runStoryboard } from '@adcp/client/testing';

The runner fails fast at start on unresolved ids, so a misconfigured loader surfaces immediately rather than silently skipping conformance.

Test plan

  • npx vitest run server/tests/unit/compliance-assertions.test.ts — 14 passed
  • npx vitest run server/tests/unit/{storyboards,compliance-assertions,collection-lists-storyboard}.test.ts — 29 passed, no regressions in storyboard wrapper tests
  • node scripts/build-compliance.cjs — clean, invariants field round-trips into dist/compliance/latest/universal/idempotency.yaml
  • tsc --project server/tsconfig.json --noEmit — clean (pre-commit hook runs it)

Follow-ups

Closes the "wire first assertions" leg of #2639.

#2639)

Wires two programmatic gates to the universal idempotency storyboard via
the new `invariants: [...]` YAML field (shipped in @adcp/client 5.8+):

- idempotency.conflict_no_payload_leak — IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT error
  bodies must contain only allowlisted envelope fields. Leaking cached
  payload fingerprints (budget, start_time, cached_payload, etc.) turns
  stolen idempotency keys into a read oracle. Converts the key_reuse_conflict
  phase's reviewer_check into runtime enforcement.

- context.no_secret_echo — no response on any step may echo bearer
  literals, the test-kit's declared api_key, or suspect field names
  (Authorization, api_key, bearer, x-api-key) at any depth.

Modules live in server/src/compliance/assertions/ and register via
@adcp/client/testing's registry at import time. Runners must load them
before calling runStoryboard (CLI --invariants flag, or direct import);
the runner throws at start on unresolved ids.

Bumps @adcp/client to ^5.8.1 for the registry re-exports.

CI failed on the parent PR because adding `invariants: [...]` to
universal/idempotency.yaml made the SDK runner throw at start on unresolved
ids — no caller was loading the assertion modules. Wire them in at the
choke points every storyboard-running flow already touches:

- server/src/services/storyboards.ts — API / comply() flows go through
  this wrapper; importing the assertions as a side effect registers them
  before any downstream runStoryboard call.
- server/tests/manual/run-storyboards.ts — the CI entry point; explicit
  import keeps the registration visible to the runner script itself.
- server/tests/manual/run-one-storyboard.ts, storyboard-smoke.ts —
  standalone manual runners that don't touch the service wrapper.

Node's module cache dedupes the actual registerAssertion calls, so the
overlap is harmless.

…oor rebaseline (#2639)

Adds the third cross-step assertion per expert review:

- After any denial signal (GOVERNANCE_DENIED, CAMPAIGN_SUSPENDED,
  PERMISSION_DENIED, POLICY_VIOLATION, TERMS_REJECTED, COMPLIANCE_UNSATISFIED,
  or check_governance status=denied) on a plan, no subsequent step may
  acquire a resource for that plan. Plan-scoped via plan_id; falls back
  to run-scoped for signals without plan linkage.
- Denial is sticky within a run — a later passing check_governance does
  not clear state. Requiring a fresh governance_context is correct
  semantics; this assertion encodes within-run monotonicity.
- Resource-acquired detection is task-allowlist (create_media_buy,
  update_media_buy, activate_signal, property/collection list CRUD,
  acquire_rights) + server-minted id fields. sync_* tasks deferred to
  follow-up (batch envelopes need schema-specific traversal).
- plan_id extraction reads response body first, then recorded request
  payload. Deliberately does NOT fall back to accumulated context —
  stale plan_id from earlier steps would bind denials to wrong plans.

Wired to governance-spend-authority (index + denied), governance-aware-seller,
governance-delivery-monitor. Silent on runs with no denial signal.

Tests: 41 passing including table-driven coverage of all 6 denial codes,
negative cases for excluded codes (GOVERNANCE_UNAVAILABLE, ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED,
CONFLICT, IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT), plan-scoped correctness, sticky state,
onStart reset, nested error.code shapes.

Rebases storyboard CI floors (legacy 35→27 clean, 279→271 passing;
framework 21→19 clean, 237→226 passing) to match @adcp/client 5.8.1
baseline. The drop is from upstream validation tightening (schema-driven
hooks #694, strict sync_creatives #661, refs_resolve cross-step #670,
branch_set grading #693, PRM enforcement #677), not this assertion —
the invariants: YAML additions are inert against the SDK-bundled
compliance cache until @adcp/client re-publishes its tarball. Follow-up
filed as adcp#2667 to diagnose the newly-failing storyboards.

#2666 restored the training-agent responses that the @adcp/client 5.6→5.8.1
bump had broken (creative format fixtures, get_media_buys total_budget,
validate_property_delivery shape) but didn't bump the CI non-regression
floors. Raise the gate to the recovered baselines so future regressions
actually fail CI:

- legacy: 27→36 clean, 271→295 passing (pre-bump was 35/279)
- framework: 19→21 clean, 226→241 passing (pre-bump was 21/237)

Also:

- .gitignore: exclude /dist/compliance/assertions/ from the tracked
  /dist/compliance/ tree so tsc output from server/src/compliance/**
  (the assertion modules landed in #2663) doesn't collide with the
  published spec-tarball path.
- property-handlers.ts: comment explaining why violations[] was moved
  into the closed-shape features[] channel.
