Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ba4a6

Implementing this specification as written can produce incorrect flag results, expose environment credentials, or notify consumers before the SDK is ready. These contracts should be corrected before the design becomes the implementation baseline.

Pull request overview

Adds a new, modular FeatBit server-side SDK design specification under docs/, capturing cross-language requirements (protocol, evaluation, storage, events, lifecycle, hardening) based on the inspected .NET reference implementation to guide other-language SDK implementations and conformance testing.

Changes:

  • Introduces a spec index (docs/sdk_design_spec.md) plus per-module requirement documents under docs/sdk_design_spec/.
  • Defines concrete wire protocols and behavioral contracts for sync, evaluation, storage/versioning, event delivery, shutdown, concurrency, and error isolation.
  • Adds a conformance matrix and reference mapping to existing source/tests to support implementation validation.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/concurrency.md`:
- Line 27: Add the shared sender stopwatch mismatch to the concurrency
limitations in reference.md, noting that overlapping requests can produce
incorrect SendFinished elapsed times and that new SDKs must use request-local
timing; do not modify .NET source code.

In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/configuration.md`:
- Line 39: Update the online-mode configuration contract to require a secret of
at least two characters, while keeping offline mode’s no-secret allowance
unchanged. In docs/sdk_design_spec/configuration.md:39, state the minimum
explicitly; in docs/sdk_design_spec/synchronization.md:23, retain the insertion
rule and explicitly document the same minimum secret length.
- Around line 12-13: Update the URI configuration validation for StreamingUri
and EventUri so non-loopback hosts require encrypted wss:// and https:// schemes
respectively; allow ws:// and http:// only for loopback development endpoints,
including the EventUri rule when events are enabled.

In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/error_isolation.md`:
- Line 20: Update the error-isolation specification to define which recoverable
store and evaluator exceptions cross the public evaluation boundary and return
the fallback, while programming failures must propagate rather than be broadly
caught. Explicitly preserve cancellation and fatal-error exclusions, and require
diagnostics for contained internal failures so SDK implementations behave
consistently.

In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/evaluation.md`:
- Line 9: Update the attribute-lookup documentation near the user definition and
its MUST requirement to identify presence-aware lookup as a deliberate new-SDK
hardening requirement, not behavior that follows the reference. Add a reference
note recording that FbUser.ValueOf returns string.Empty for both missing and
explicitly empty properties, while preserving the MUST requirement that missing
attributes retain presence information for negative-operator evaluation.
- Line 80: Update the segment evaluation specification so segment results use
three states—match, non-match, and error—rather than representing missing or
quarantined segments as false. Propagate the error state to the dependent flag
and return its fallback, ensuring malformed dependencies are treated as neither
a match nor a non-match.
- Around line 90-94: Define valid rollout intervals as finite, non-negative
bounds with a finite lower bound no greater than the upper bound, and validate
them before applying the near-one shortcut in the deterministic rollout
selection flow. Require exptRollout to be finite and non-negative; route invalid
rollout or experiment data through the affected flag’s existing error path and
document the malformed-data outcome.
- Line 51: Update the numeric parsing requirements in the evaluation
specification, including the finite numeric parsing rules near the referenced
API section, to define one normative grammar covering whitespace, signs,
exponents, overflow, underflow, NaN, and infinity. Specify the required result
for each invalid or non-finite input—false, WrongType, or Error—for every
affected API so all ports behave consistently.
- Line 188: Clarify the all-variations contract at the raw-string evaluation
detail requirement by defining the per-flag result for malformed entries,
including its value, variation ID, and reason, while preserving enumeration of
other active flags without aborting. Ensure the specification requires exactly
one detail for each active flag and uses a consistent error representation.

In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/events.md`:
- Around line 20-22: Validate the URI scheme in FbOptionsBuilder.Event before
DefaultEventSender workers start, rejecting non-HTTPS endpoints because
EnvSecret is sent in Authorization; if loopback HTTP is intentionally supported,
enforce that exception explicitly and document it in the event specification.

In `@docs/sdk_design_spec/synchronization.md`:
- Around line 78-82: Update WebSocketDataSynchronizer.HandleDataSyncMessage so
status becomes Stable, initialized is published, and the initialization promise
is completed before dispatching either data-change notification branch. Ensure
callbacks triggered by notifications can successfully call
FbClient.EvaluateCore, while preserving atomic handling of the full replacement
or patch batch.

Record the shared sender stopwatch as a reference gap.

When requests overlap, DefaultEventSender.SendCoreAsync shares _stopwatch across await _httpClient.PostAsync(...), so SendFinished can log another request’s elapsed time. Add this mismatch to docs/sdk_design_spec/reference.md and state that new SDKs require request-local timing; no .NET source change is required for this documentation PR.

Make the minimum secret length explicit.

The configuration contract accepts a one-character secret, but the token format requires p >= 2. That configuration passes validation and then fails during token construction.

  • docs/sdk_design_spec/configuration.md#L39: require an online secret length of at least two characters.

Separate recoverable exceptions from programming failures.

Line 20 says every unexpected store or evaluator exception returns fallback. Line 25 says implementations must distinguish programming failures and must not catch every exception.

Define the exception classes that cross the public boundary, the handling of programming failures, and the cancellation and fatal-error exclusions. Without this boundary, one SDK can hide defects while another leaks them into application request handling.

Mark presence-aware lookup as a deliberate reference divergence.

At the reference commit, FbUser.ValueOf returns string.Empty for a missing custom property. An existing empty property also returns "". It does not preserve presence. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The sentence “Attribute lookup follows the reference” conflicts with the MUST in Line 19. State that presence-aware lookup is a new-SDK hardening requirement and record the divergence in the reference notes. Otherwise, a port can copy the reference and make negative operators match missing attributes.

Propagate malformed segment dependencies as errors.

User is not in segment is true when no referenced segment matches. If a missing or quarantined segment is represented as false, the negative condition becomes true and evaluation can select a variation.

This conflicts with the error-isolation requirement to return fallback for a broken dependency and to treat malformed segments as neither match nor non-match. Define a tri-state segment result and propagate dependency errors to the affected flag.

Exclusion therefore wins when the user appears in both lists. Empty segment rules obey the same AND/OR semantics as ordinary rules. The reference evaluates segment rules with ordinary condition operators; recursive segment references are not allowed in FeatBit.

Validate rollout intervals before applying the near-one shortcut.

“Valid interval” is not defined or enforced. If [0, 2] reaches the algorithm, 1 - upper < 0.00001 is true, so the interval matches every user.

exptRollout must also be finite and non-negative, but invalid values have no malformed-data outcome. Define interval validity, validate it before selection, and route invalid rollout or experiment data through the affected flag's error path.

## All-variations API

Return one raw-string evaluation detail per active flag and record no analytics events. Ordering is unspecified. The reference evaluates whatever is in the store without the typed API's initialization check; its initially empty store naturally returns an empty array.

Define malformed entries in all-variations results.

The all-variations API has no caller fallback. However, Line 188 requires one raw-string detail per active flag, while error isolation requires malformed flags not to abort enumeration.

Specify the value, variation ID, and reason for a malformed entry, or define a distinct per-flag error shape. Without this contract, ports can omit the flag, return an empty value, or abort the entire result.

Enforce HTTPS for credential-bearing event requests.

EventUri defaults to http://localhost:5100, and FbOptionsBuilder.Event(Uri) does not validate the scheme. Since DefaultEventSender sends EnvSecret in Authorization, reject non-HTTPS endpoints before starting workers. Document and enforce any loopback-only HTTP exception.

3. Complete the initialization promise, if pending.

**Hardening requirements:** full replacement and an entire patch batch MUST be atomic with respect to evaluation. If [data-change notifications](notifications.md) are implemented, readiness and initialization MUST be visible before user callbacks run. SDKs MAY omit these notifications for now.

A valid no-op patch still establishes that synchronization succeeded and may restore `Ready`; it does not require a data-change notification. In the baseline, a valid patch can initialize a synchronizer with an already populated store. Public online bootstrap/persistent-store behavior remains an extension.

Publish readiness before data-change callbacks. In WebSocketDataSynchronizer.HandleDataSyncMessage, both notification branches run before Stable and initialized are published. A handler receiving the first valid response can therefore call FbClient.EvaluateCore and receive ClientNotReady; move notification dispatch after status, initialization, and initialization-promise completion.

WebSocketDataSynchronizer.HandleDataSyncMessage so status becomes Stable,
initialized is published, and the initialization promise is completed before
dispatching either data-change notification branch. Ensure callbacks triggered
by notifications can successfully call FbClient.EvaluateCore, while preserving
atomic handling of the full replacement or patch batch.
