The stack

Six PRs, each based on the one before it. Review in order.

PR What it adds
1 #1350 The harness the derived tests stand on, and a README for the tree
2 #1351 The uts-to-csharp translation skill
3 #1352 (this one) The REST unit tier, and the record of what it found
4 #1353 The realtime unit tier, and the record of what it found
5 #1354 The integration tier, and the record of what it found
6 #1355 The proxy tier, and the record of what it confirmed

Goal

Translate the REST half of the UTS unit tier, and record what the translation found.

Two commits: the tests, then the two documents that make the result readable.

What's added

Thirty-one of the forty-one uts/rest/unit spec files — the client, raw requests, fallback
hosts, stats, logging, channels, publish, history, idempotency, channel attributes, encoding, the
type specs, the whole of auth, all four push files and rest_presence.

Everything runs off MockHttpClient; nothing reaches the network. Measured on net6.0: 407
passing
, 29 either env-gated as SDK deviations or skipped for msgpack.

Uts/deviations.md and Uts/coverage.md start here, and each later tier adds its own section
to them.

deviations.md is where a mismatch between the spec and the SDK goes once it has been chased to a
mechanism in product code. It has five sections and the distinction between them is the whole
point: a UTS spec error, a genuine SDK defect, a test adapted to this SDK's idiom, a limit of the
mock harness, and a suspicion that turned out to be nothing. Only the second kind is a bug. Writing
a translation mistake down as an SDK defect would send someone to fix behaviour that is already
correct, so every entry names the file and line it was confirmed in.

coverage.md is the other half — what was not translated and why, file by file. The ten files not
translated are absent client API rather than failing behaviour (message mutation, annotations,
batch publish, token revocation), and in C# a test calling a method that does not exist is a
compile error rather than a skippable test.

What the translation found

Each finding was chased to a mechanism in product code before being written down, because a false
deviation sends someone to fix a non-bug. The sharpest four:

StatusAsync sends the channel name unescaped. HttpChannel builds its base path with
EncodeUriPart and then this one method ignores it and concatenates the raw name — the only
raw-name path concatenation in product code. A channel named a/b emits two path segments and hits
a different endpoint. A passing sibling pins the correct spelling on the history path, so the SDK
contradicts itself.

An unknown response content type crashes. RSC8e2 requires statusCode 400 and code 40013;
JsonHelper.Deserialize(null) raises a raw ArgumentNullException out of the public API instead,
escaping the AblyException contract entirely. ErrorCodes.InvalidMessageDataOrEncoding is
declared and never raised.

The push device-authentication header has the name RSH6a explicitly calls the mistaken one. The
server reads the header name, so this is not cosmetic.

A token string returned by an authCallback is only ever read as a TokenRequest. RSA8d allows
three shapes — a token string, a TokenDetails, a TokenRequest — and the string branch is routed
straight into JSON deserialisation, so a JWT fails to parse and the request dies with 80019.

Three suspicions that did not survive being checked

This is the part most worth a second opinion, because each one looked like a defect and is not:

  • RSC18 was withdrawn as a translation bug. The SDK does reject basic auth over plain HTTP, just
    lazily — on the first authenticated request rather than at construction. Neither RSC18 nor RSA1
    mandates a constructor check.
  • RSL1k's mixed-id batch expectation and RSL6a's json/base64 chain are both UTS spec errors.
    An SDK that changed to satisfy either would become less compliant, not more.

Caveat

Every SDK defect keeps its spec-correct assertion in the suite as a [DeviationFact], skipped by
default and runnable with RUN_DEVIATIONS=1. That makes the record checkable rather than a claim:
run the suite that way and each gated test must still fail. Deleting the assertion instead would
have left nothing to re-check when the behaviour is fixed.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d065c

This change adds REST unit tests and documentation without changing SDK behavior. One test changes shared global state, which can make other tests fail intermittently. Another test accepts nearly any error message, so it does not check the behavior it is meant to protect. Several documentation counts and cross-references also need correcting. These are small follow-ups and do not block merging.

16 tests across `rest/unit/fallback.md` and `rest/unit/request_endpoint.md` cannot be expressed:

| Spec point | Tests | What is absent |
|---|---|---|
| REC1b1, REC1b2, REC1b3, REC1b4 | 8 | `ClientOptions.Endpoint`, and the `nonprod:`/production routing policies derived from it |
| REC2a1, REC2b | 2 | `ClientOptions.FallbackHostsUseDefault` |
| REC2c2, REC2c3, REC2c4 | 3 | `Endpoint`, plus the non-production fallback-domain derivation |
| REC3b | 1 | `ClientOptions.ConnectivityCheckUrl` — the URL is the compile-time constant `Defaults.InternetCheckUrl` |
| REC1c1, REC1d2 | 2 | see *deviations.md* — these two **do** compile; the SDK's behaviour diverges |

The rest of `fallback.md` — 28 of its 43 tests, covering the RSC15 retry and fallback-host
behaviour the SDK does implement — is translated and passing.

Make the REC test counts agree.

Line 69 says 16 tests cannot be expressed. The table rows that cannot be expressed add up to 8 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 14. The REC1c1/REC1d2 row has 2 tests, but those tests compile. Line 79 says 28 of 43 fallback.md tests are translated, so 15 are left. The PR description also says 15 of 43. Line 357 of deviations.md repeats the claim of 16 tests that "cannot be written at all". Correct the totals so that the table, the prose, and deviations.md match.

Fix the dangling D10 reference.

D14 cites "the second note on D10", but this document has no D10 entry. The numbering rule allows D10 to arrive with a later tier. Until then, the cross-reference cannot be resolved. Remove the reference or state the root cause inline.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The RSC1b assertion accepts almost any error message.

The test passes when the message contains "key", "auth" or "options". Nearly every AblyException from options validation contains "options", so the check passes even when the reported error does not name the missing authentication method. The assertion does not check what RSC1b requires. Assert code 40106. If the SDK does not raise 40106, assert the exact constructor-path message and record the gap as a deviation.

The global LocalDevice.Instance mutation can race with parallel test classes.

This test sets the static LocalDevice.Instance and restores it afterwards. xUnit runs test classes in different collections in parallel. Push tests that read the same static can therefore see FakeMobileDevice while this test runs. Put this class in a non-parallel collection, or in the same collection as the push tests.

Update TokenDetailsAccessorTests to run in a non-parallel xUnit collection, or
place it in the same collection as the push tests that access
LocalDevice.Instance, so this test’s static mutation cannot overlap with them.

Fix the stale class summary: RSC18_BasicAuthOverHttpRejected is a [Fact].

The summary lists RSC18_BasicAuthOverHttpRejected as a [DeviationFact]. On Line 346 the test is a [Fact]. The comment on Lines 354-370 says the behavior is "not a deviation", and the PR objectives say the RSC18 deviation was withdrawn. As a result, the summary gives the wrong count of env-gated tests.

Proposed fix
-    /// Three tests carry the spec's assertion against behaviour this SDK does not implement and are

Update the class summary for the RestClient tests to reflect that only
RSC7c_RequestIdIncluded and RSC8e_UnsupportedContentTypeOnSuccessStatus are
DeviationFact tests; remove RSC18_BasicAuthOverHttpRejected from that list and

Thirty-one of the forty-one uts/rest/unit spec files, covering the client,
raw requests, fallback hosts, stats, logging, channels, publish, history,
idempotency, channel attributes, encoding, the type specs, the whole of auth,
all four push files and rest_presence.

Everything runs off MockHttpClient; nothing reaches the network. Measured on
net6.0: 407 passing, 29 either env-gated as SDK deviations or skipped for
msgpack.

The ten files not translated are absent client API rather than failing
behaviour - message mutation, annotations, batch publish, token revocation -
and in C# a test calling a method that does not exist is a compile error rather
than a skippable test. The next commit tabulates them with their reason.

The passing tests are the least interesting part of this. What the translation
found is recorded alongside it, and each finding was pushed to a mechanism in
product code before being written down, because a false deviation sends someone
to fix a non-bug. The sharpest:

StatusAsync sends the channel name unescaped. HttpChannel builds its base path
with EncodeUriPart and then one method ignores it and concatenates the raw name
- the only raw-name path concatenation in product code. A channel named a/b
emits two path segments and hits a different endpoint, and a passing sibling
pins the correct spelling on the history path, so the SDK contradicts itself.

An unknown response content type crashes. RSC8e2 requires statusCode 400 and
code 40013; JsonHelper.Deserialize(null) raises a raw ArgumentNullException out
of the public API instead, escaping the AblyException contract entirely.
ErrorCodes.InvalidMessageDataOrEncoding is declared and never raised.

The push device-authentication header has the name RSH6a explicitly calls the
mistaken one. The server reads the header name, so this is not cosmetic.

A token string returned by an authCallback is only ever read as a TokenRequest.
RSA8d allows three shapes - a token string, a TokenDetails, a TokenRequest -
and the string branch is routed straight into JSON deserialisation, so a JWT
fails to parse and the request dies with 80019.

Three suspicions did not survive being checked and are recorded as what they
turned out to be, which is the part most worth a second opinion. RSC18 was
withdrawn as a translation bug: the SDK does reject basic auth over plain HTTP,
just lazily, on the first authenticated request rather than at construction,
and neither RSC18 nor RSA1 mandates a constructor check. RSL1k's mixed-id batch
expectation and RSL6a's json/base64 chain are both UTS spec errors - an SDK
that changed to satisfy either would become less compliant, not more.

Two documents start here, and both grow a section per tier as the tiers land.

deviations.md is where a mismatch between the spec and the SDK goes once it has
been chased to a mechanism in product code. It has five sections and the
distinction between them is the whole point: a UTS spec error, a genuine SDK
defect, a test adapted to this SDK's idiom, a limit of the mock harness, and a
suspicion that turned out to be nothing. Only the second kind is a bug. Writing
a translation mistake down as an SDK defect would send someone to fix behaviour
that is already correct, so each entry names the file and line it was confirmed
in.

Every SDK defect keeps its spec-correct assertion in the suite as a
[DeviationFact], skipped by default and runnable with RUN_DEVIATIONS=1. That
makes the record checkable rather than a claim: run the suite that way and each
gated test must still fail. Deleting the assertion instead would have left
nothing to re-check when the behaviour is fixed.

coverage.md is the other half - what was not translated and why, file by file,
so that "31 of 41 spec files" is readable as something other than an unexplained
gap. The common reason is absent client API: in C# a test calling a method that
does not exist will not compile, so those specs cannot be written as skipped
tests the way a dynamic language would.

The README gains the sections those two documents make sense of, and nothing
about tiers that have not arrived.
