Schemas for the whole v1 surface: 38 methods, 9 events, 25 named types and the
JSON-RPC envelope, with x-privileged / x-transports / x-deadlineMs / x-errors
annotations that both generators emit as data rather than prose.
Four generators over one IR (contracts/codegen/schema_ir.py), so the C++ structs,
the TypeScript types and the OpenRPC document cannot disagree about what the
contract says:
gen_cpp.py -> core/generated/velox_proto.{hpp,cpp}
gen_ts.py -> extension/src/shared/protocol/
gen_openrpc.py -> contracts/openrpc.json
gen_cpp_conformance.py -> tests/conformance/cpp/fixture_dispatcher.hpp
Inbound parsing never throws: parse<T>() returns std::expected<T, ParseError> and
nlohmann's throwing ADL from_json is deliberately not emitted. Schema constraints
(minimum, maxLength, pattern, ...) become real runtime checks in both languages —
the daemon does not trust the extension and the extension does not trust the
daemon.
59 golden fixtures: a success case per method, 12 error cases, 9 events. Replayed
by tests/conformance/ against both the generated C++ and a live server over both
transports. tools/mockd serves the same fixtures with unhappy-path flags so the
GUI and EXT lanes never wait for veloxd.
run.sh also proves capture.offer fails open: with a daemon answering slower than
750 ms the client gives up and lets Firefox take the download.
core/generated/ is libveloxproto, a separate target from libveloxcore, which
still never sees JSON — see docs/adr/0009.

tests/conformance — one suite, three runners
This is a required check on every lane's PR. It is the mechanism that makes four parallel lanes safe: the C++ daemon and the TypeScript extension are proved compatible without either having run against the other.
./tests/conformance/run.sh # starts its own mockd
./tests/conformance/run.sh --uds /run/user/1000/velox/velox.sock --ws-port 52000
The runners
| Runner | Needs | Asserts |
|---|---|---|
check_contract.py |
python3, jsonschema | schemas parse and resolve; the documented surface matches the schema surface both ways; every method has a success fixture; every fixture validates; SettingKey and Settings agree; committed generated code is not stale |
cpp/ |
a C++23 compiler, nlohmann | every golden payload parses into the generated structs, serialises back stably, and goes through the real dispatch(); privileged methods are refused -32003 over the WebSocket |
ts/replay.ts |
node ≥ 20 | a live server answers every fixture over every transport the contract allows, and the reply passes the generated validator |
run.sh also runs one scenario that cannot be shown against a healthy server: with the
daemon answering slower than capture.offer's 750 ms deadline, the client must give up and
let Firefox take the download. That is the fail-open guarantee, and it is checked here.
What "passing" means
The runners check the contract, not the implementation's opinions. Results are compared by
shape and validated against the generated validators; error codes are compared exactly.
Byte-equality with a golden file is deliberately not asserted, because a live daemon
returns its own ids and its own clock — see contracts/fixtures/README.md.
Adding a method without a fixture fails check_contract.py. Regenerating and forgetting to
commit the output fails it too.
Request to lane PKG/QA
.github/ belongs to PKG/QA, so this suite is not wired into CI by lane PROTO. Please add
it as a required status check on every branch, roughly:
conformance:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with: { node-version: '22' }
- run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y nlohmann-json3-dev
- run: pip install jsonschema referencing
- run: ./tests/conformance/run.sh
The suite needs: python3 with jsonschema, a C++23 compiler, nlohmann-json, and Node
≥ 20. It starts and stops its own mockd; nothing else needs to be running.
