Companion to cachekit-io/saas#231 (closes cachekit-io/saas#91).

The CachekitIO validator is now security-only; the 7-segment grammar is Python SDK convention, not a server contract.

  • cache-key-format.md: new Server-Side Requirements section documenting exactly what the server enforces (percent-decoded transport, 400-char cap, [a-zA-Z0-9_.:-] charset, .. rejection, ns:/nsapi: namespace shape, write-space split), plus a note on the Full Key Structure marking it SDK-internal.
  • interop-mode.md: status DRAFT → SERVER-SUPPORTED — the validator accepts {ns}:{op}:{hash} keys (scoped to the default namespace); SDK-side generation remains pending (design: cross-SDK interop mode for cache key and value format #1).
  • test-vectors/cache-keys.json: key_format/note fields updated with the convention-vs-contract framing. No vector values changed — cross-SDK byte compatibility untouched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified cache-key requirements for server-side validation, including encoding, length, character restrictions, traversal protection, namespace scoping and write permissions.
    • Documented that the seven-segment key format is a Python SDK convention, while servers can accept opaque keys from other SDKs and Interop Mode.
    • Updated Interop Mode guidance to confirm support for interop-format keys and security-focused validation.
    • Expanded cache-key test-vector metadata to describe cross-SDK compatibility and accepted key formats.

…r-side requirements

The CachekitIO validator is now security-only (saas#91): percent-decode,
length cap, charset whitelist, '..' rejection, ns:/nsapi: namespace
shape. The 7-segment grammar is Python SDK convention, not a server
contract — TS/Rust {ns}:{hash} and interop-mode keys are valid on the
wire.

- cache-key-format.md: new Server-Side Requirements section + note on
  the Full Key Structure
- interop-mode.md: status DRAFT -> SERVER-SUPPORTED (SDK generation
  still pending, Issue #1)
- test-vectors/cache-keys.json: key_format/note fields updated

Conflict with main in two files, both substantive content disagreements rather than non-overlapping additions:

  • spec/interop-mode.md: HEAD's status line says "SERVER-SUPPORTED... SDK-side generation not yet implemented"; main's says "SPECIFIED (interop/v1)... NOT yet implemented in any SDK." Different factual claims about the same status — picking one drops the other.
  • test-vectors/cache-keys.json: differing generator version, ci_verification field, note, and key_format text between branches — same fields edited with different content on each side.

Neither is a safe automatic union; needs a human call.

Auto-rebase attempted: merging origin/main produced conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md (contradictory status claims — this PR says "SERVER-SUPPORTED", main says "SPECIFIED, NOT yet implemented") and test-vectors/cache-keys.json. Picking a side changes the spec's meaning — needs a human call. Left the branch untouched.

Auto-rebase attempted a merge of main but hit conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md and test-vectors/cache-keys.json. The doc conflict is a direct contradiction, not a union — this branch says interop-mode status is "SERVER-SUPPORTED" while main says "SPECIFIED, NOT yet implemented in any SDK." Picking one over the other is a factual call I can't make safely, so I left it for a human.

Auto-rebase sweep: merging main conflicts on two files with genuinely contradictory content, not additive changes:

  • spec/interop-mode.md: this branch marks interop-mode as "SERVER-SUPPORTED"; main marks it "SPECIFIED (interop/v1) — normative, NOT yet implemented" with different linked references. Picking either overwrites a real status claim from the other side.
  • test-vectors/cache-keys.json: this branch vs main disagree on generator version (v0.5.0 vs v0.12.0), key_format description, and whether a ci_verification field exists.

Needs a human call on which status/version is current. Left unresolved.

Merge conflict against main in two files, both genuine content disagreements rather than additive unions:

  • spec/interop-mode.md: this branch claims Status is SERVER-SUPPORTED (SDK-side generation not yet implemented), main claims SPECIFIED/normative and NOT yet implemented in any SDK — contradictory implementation-status claims.
  • test-vectors/cache-keys.json: differing generator version (v0.5.0 vs v0.12.0) and differing note/key_format metadata for the same vector set.

Picking a side asserts one version's facts over the other without verifying against the actual cachekit-py implementation — needs a human call.

Auto-rebase sweep: merging main into this branch conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md (contradictory Status callouts — one claims SERVER-SUPPORTED with SDK generation pending, the other claims SPECIFIED/not-yet-implemented) and test-vectors/cache-keys.json (differing generator version, key_format, and note text, plus a ci_verification field only on one side). Both are substantive content conflicts, not a non-overlapping union — needs a human call on which claims are current.

Auto-rebase check: base main has moved (main HEAD 936f22f) and this branch now conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md (contradictory status lines — "SERVER-SUPPORTED" here vs "SPECIFIED, not yet implemented" on main) and test-vectors/cache-keys.json (differing generator/ci_verification/note/key_format metadata).

Auto-rebase attempted a merge from main but hit a genuine content conflict in spec/interop-mode.md: this branch's status line says interop SDK-side generation is "not yet implemented", while main now says it's "shipped opt-in in all three SDKs" — contradictory claims, not a non-overlapping union. test-vectors/cache-keys.json also conflicts.

Auto-rebase: could not safely resolve merge conflicts against main (base @ 44ee4370f0604f2336833ac57d843d9747f9a691).

Conflicting paths:

  • spec/interop-mode.md — the branches disagree on the actual status of Interop Mode: this PR's version still says SDK-side generation is "not yet implemented," while main now documents it as "SPECIFIED (interop/v1) — normative, and shipped opt-in in all three SDKs." Resolving this means asserting which claim is currently true, not a mechanical merge — needs a human call.
  • test-vectors/cache-keys.json — overlapping edit tied to the same status change, same reasoning applies.

Leaving the branch untouched; no push made.

Attempted auto-rebase onto main — conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md and test-vectors/cache-keys.json. Both are competing rewrites of the same status/note text: this branch reframes the interop status as "SERVER-SUPPORTED, SDK-side not yet implemented" and pins generator: cachekit-py v0.5.0, while main has since advanced to "SPECIFIED, shipped opt-in in all three SDKs" with generator: v0.12.0 and a new ci_verification field. Picking either side drops real content from the other — needs a human call on how to reconcile.

Merge conflict against main in spec/interop-mode.md and test-vectors/cache-keys.json. main has since rewritten the status block (SERVER-SUPPORTED → SPECIFIED/normative, shipped opt-in across all three SDKs) — resolving means picking one side's status claim over the other's, not a non-overlapping union. Needs a human call on which status text is current.

Auto-rebase sweep: merging main still conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md and test-vectors/cache-keys.json — both remain genuine content disagreements, not a non-overlapping union. main now asserts interop-mode is shipped opt-in in all three SDKs (Python 0.14.0+, TS 0.1.3+, Rust 0.4.0+), while this branch still claims SDK-side generation is "not yet implemented." The test vectors disagree on generator version (v0.5.0 vs v0.12.0) and main adds a ci_verification field this branch lacks. Picking either side asserts a factual claim about SDK implementation status I can't verify — needs a human call. Left branch untouched, no push.

Flagging for manual resolution. Conflicting paths: spec/interop-mode.md, test-vectors/cache-keys.json. The interop-mode.md status block is a factual contradiction, not a textual one: this PR asserts the CachekitIO validator accepts interop-format keys (security-only validation), while main's rewritten interop/v1 spec (#16) warns the deployed validator rejects them pending saas#91 — which closed hours before that warning was written, so which claim reflects the deployed validator is unverified. Even the cleanly-merging spec/cache-key-format.md hunks would contradict main's interop-mode.md warning. This PR likely needs re-authoring against the interop/v1 spec rather than a mechanical merge; resolving either way risks publishing wrong normative claims, so leaving the branch untouched.

Conflict resolution (verified against ground truth):
- spec/interop-mode.md status block: keep main's interop/v1 shipped status
  (true: SDKs shipped on PyPI/npm/crates.io), fold in this PR's server-side
  line (true: saas#231 shrank the validator to security-only, merged
  2026-07-17, closing saas#91). Drop the PR's stale 'SDK-side generation is
  not yet implemented'.
- spec/interop-mode.md SaaS Considerations: update main's pre-saas#231
  WARNING ('deployed validator would reject interop keys, saas#91 MUST land
  first') to a NOTE stating the shrink landed — required so the merged spec
  does not contradict this PR's Server-Side Requirements section.
- test-vectors/cache-keys.json: keep main's generator v0.12.0 +
  ci_verification, keep this PR's SDK-convention annotations in note and
  key_format. Vectors byte-identical to main.

Walkthrough

The specifications now distinguish Python SDK key conventions from server-enforced rules. They document opaque cross-SDK and interop keys, security-only validation, namespace handling, and related cache-key vector metadata.

Changes

Cache key specification alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server-side key contract
spec/cache-key-format.md
The specification identifies the seven-segment format as a Python SDK convention and defines server checks for encoding, length, characters, traversal, namespaces, and write access.
Interop and vector alignment
spec/interop-mode.md, test-vectors/cache-keys.json
Interop keys are documented as accepted by the server validator. The vectors record cross-SDK formats and security-only validation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f0750

The PR reframes 7-segment keys as an SDK convention and documents server-side enforcement, but the current text still risks misleading SDK authors about cross-SDK cache compatibility and leaves default-namespace write authorization insufficiently specified. These bounded interoperability and permission risks should be clarified or explicitly accepted before merging.

Resolved conflicts in spec/interop-mode.md and test-vectors/cache-keys.json; auto-rebased onto main (merge commit, no history rewrite); CI will re-run.

Resolution notes — both sides carried one stale claim each, verified before resolving:

  • Status block: kept main's interop/v1 shipped status (SDKs are on PyPI/npm/crates.io — this PR's "SDK-side generation is not yet implemented" predates those releases), and folded in this PR's server-side line, which is confirmed true: cachekit-io/saas#231 shrank the validator to security-only checks (merged 2026-07-17, closing cachekit-io/saas#91).
  • SaaS Considerations: main's pre-saas#231 WARNING ("deployed validator would reject interop-format keys; saas#91 MUST land first") updated to a NOTE stating the shrink landed — leaving it would make the merged spec contradict this PR's Server-Side Requirements section.
  • Test vectors: kept main's generator: v0.12.0 + ci_verification, kept this PR's SDK-convention annotations in note/key_format. Vectors themselves are byte-identical to main.

All CI gates verified locally before push: Python reference verifies (wire-format, interop v1/v2, encryption, python-frame, file-backend), JS cross-checks, and version-floor guards — all green.

…son Python-only

Addresses the two CodeRabbit findings on #17.

Server-Side Requirements omitted the rule the deployed validator actually
has for unprefixed keys: saas apps/cache/src/cache-key-validator.ts classes
them `open` (namespace `default`) and the write-space 403 gate in index.ts
only fires for the `sdk`/`api` classes. So interop-mode and TS/Rust
{ns}:{hash} keys are writable by any key class and get none of the
intra-tenant write-space isolation. That is a consequence SDK implementors
need stated, not inferred. Also states that per-key namespace grants still
apply (a namespace-restricted key must include `default`) and that ck_live_
has no server-side retirement date — recorded as fact, not policy: this spec
describes the deployed validator, it does not legislate for it.

cache-keys.json's note told other SDKs to "substitute their own module path;
only the args hash must match". A different func: segment is a different
key, so that can never yield a shared-cache hit, and the arg-hash algorithm
itself (msgpack([args, sorted_kwargs]) with Python normalization) is not
what interop/v1 hashes. The vectors are Python-SDK-only; cross-SDK
conformance is interop-mode.json. The same claim in the spec's Test Vectors
section is fixed to match. Vector bytes untouched; cachekit-py vendors its
own sha256-pinned copy so its CI is unaffected.

@coderabbitai review

Comment thread spec/cache-key-format.md
| Traversal | `..` is rejected anywhere in the key. |
| Namespace | Keys starting `ns:{namespace}:` or `nsapi:{namespace}:` must have a namespace of 1–64 chars of `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`. Keys without either prefix scope to the `default` namespace. |
| Write spaces | `ns:` keys are mutable only by SDK (`ck_sdk_`) API keys; `nsapi:` keys only by direct (`ck_api_`) API keys. Reads are open to both. Legacy `ck_live_` keys predate the split and are exempt from it — they may write either class. No server-side retirement date is set for `ck_live_`. |
| Default namespace | Keys with neither prefix (TypeScript/Rust `{ns}:{hash}`, [Interop Mode](interop-mode.md) keys, bare hashes) are an **open** write space: any key class may write them, so the intra-tenant write-space isolation above does not protect them. Per-key namespace grants still apply — an API key restricted to named namespaces must include `default` to read or write unprefixed keys. |
