Bump Rust Sdk

Bump sdk-internal Rust crate dependencies

Overview

util/RustSdk/rust/Cargo.toml pins bitwarden-crypto from bitwarden/sdk-internal by git rev; bump it periodically to track a bitwarden/clients release. RustSdk is Seeder test infrastructure (util/, not src/ production): it gives the C# Seeder field-level encryption (encrypt_string/decrypt_string/encrypt_fields) to produce cryptographically correct Protected Data for integration tests. EncryptPropertyAttribute drives which fields get encrypted.

NPM → git-rev mapping

Clients consume sdk-internal as npm (@bitwarden/sdk-internal, e.g. 0.2.0-main.841); the server pins a git rev. The .NNN suffix is an opaque counter from a private Azure publish task — not a GitHub Actions run_number, and it does not track main commits 1:1. Do not infer the SHA from a run number or timestamp; both pick the wrong commit (verified: 841→c5d5bba, 842→c9f9dba, 840→1e45444 — no time correlation). Read the commit the build bakes into the published WASM instead:

# <VERSION> is the npm version from the clients release tag (Step 1), e.g. 0.2.0-main.841
cd "$(mktemp -d)"
curl -sSL "https://registry.npmjs.org/@bitwarden/sdk-internal/-/sdk-internal-<VERSION>.tgz" -o pkg.tgz
tar xzf pkg.tgz
grep -ao "main ([0-9a-f]\{7\})" package/bitwarden_wasm_internal_bg.wasm | sort -u   # -> main (c5d5bba)
cd /path/to/sdk-internal && git rev-parse c5d5bba   # -> full rev to pin in Cargo.toml

That full SHA is the exact source the production client runs. @bitwarden/commercial-sdk-internal ships the same commit, so the open-source tarball's embedded SHA is authoritative for both.

Process

1. Identify target — latest web-v* release tag from clients, then its npm version:

   gh release list --repo bitwarden/clients --limit 5 | grep web-v
   git -C /path/to/clients show <tag>:package.json | grep sdk-internal   # -> 0.2.0-main.841
   

2. Map npm → git SHA — the mapping section above.
3. Analyze breaking changes — cross-ref each commit against references/api-surface.md; watch for type renames, removed/deprecated functions, changed signatures, and trait changes:

   cd /path/to/sdk-internal
   git log --oneline <old-rev>..<new-rev> -- crates/bitwarden-crypto
   git diff <old-rev>..<new-rev> -- crates/bitwarden-crypto/src/keys/mod.rs crates/bitwarden-crypto/src/lib.rs
   

4. Apply —
   • Update the bitwarden-crypto rev in Cargo.toml.
   • MSRV check: compare the target's workspace rust-version against util/RustSdk/rust-toolchain.toml; if the MSRV rose above our channel, bump the channel to the MSRV (not sdk-internal's dev toolchain), else the build fails "requires rustc X or newer".
   • cargo update -p bitwarden-crypto (targeted — re-resolves only what the new rev needs; a bare cargo update churns the lockfile).
   • Fix compile errors; add #[allow(deprecated)] + a why-comment for newly-deprecated APIs.
5. Build & verify (Claude) —

   cd util/RustSdk/rust
   cargo build && cargo test        # roundtrip test is the gate: encrypt_string_decrypt_string_roundtrip
   cargo fmt --check
   git diff ../NativeMethods.g.cs   # must be unchanged
   dotnet test test/SeederApi.IntegrationTest/
   

   Review the Cargo.lock diff for unexpected transitive crypto crates (rsa, aes, sha2).
6. Human verification (human only — present these, do not run them) — the human seeds and confirms Protected Data is decryptable in the web client:

   cd util/SeederUtility
   dotnet run -- organization -n SdkBumpTest -d sdk-bump-test.example -u 3 -c 10 -g 5 -o Traditional -m
   # or a preset:  dotnet run -- seed --preset dunder-mifflin-enterprise-full --mangle
   
   # SeederApi HTTP alternative — start `dotnet run` in util/SeederApi, then:
   curl -X POST localhost:5000/seed -H 'X-Play-Id: sdk-bump-test' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"template":"SingleUserScene","arguments":{"email":"test@example.com","password":"<8+ char pwd>"}}'
   curl -X DELETE localhost:5000/seed/sdk-bump-test   # cleanup
   

   Pass = seeded users log in with the fake master password (see util/SeederUtility/README.md), ciphers are decryptable in the web vault, no Seeder errors, and cleanup deletes all tracked entities.

Security notes

• RustSdk is util/ test infrastructure, not src/ production; the server never decrypts Vault Data, so the zero-knowledge invariant is unaffected.
• Matching the production client release makes the Seeder produce Protected Data with the same cryptographic primitives real clients use.

Keeping api-surface.md current

references/api-surface.md must mirror the actual code. After a bump, regenerate it: read every .rs in util/RustSdk/rust/src/, extract the bitwarden_crypto use statements, and rewrite the file. A Stop hook (.claude/hooks/rust-sdk-surface-check.sh) blocks if Cargo.toml changed but api-surface.md did not.
