spacedriveapp Messaging Adapter Parity
Goal
Prevent adapter-specific regressions by validating behavior contracts across messaging backends.
Contract Areas
- User-visible reply behavior
- Status update behavior (
surfacedvsnot surfaced) - Delivery receipt ack/failure semantics
- Retry behavior and bounded backoff
- Error mapping and logging clarity
Parity Checklist
- For every changed adapter path, compare expected behavior with at least one other adapter.
- If an adapter intentionally does not surface a status, ensure receipt handling still converges correctly.
- Ensure unsupported features degrade gracefully and predictably.
- Ensure worker terminal notices cannot loop indefinitely.
Verification Checklist
- Run targeted tests for the touched adapter.
- Run targeted tests for receipt ack/failure paths.
- Run at least one parity comparison check across adapters.
- Run broad gate checks after targeted checks pass.
Required Handoff
- Adapter paths changed
- Contract decisions made
- Receipt behavior outcomes
- Verification evidence
- Residual parity gaps
