Closes #532. The wire-contract program made every message's fields checked and left set membership checked in one direction only. Narrowing was held by the compiler and held well; widening was free -- measured, adding DeviceBooting to BrowserToRelay left typecheck at zero errors and all 294 static tests green. AGENT_MSG_TYPES is the copy with the security consequence. The door closes a browser-role socket with 1008 for any member, and the forwards it guards mostly resolve a session from the message and send to that session's browser with no check that the sender is that session's agent. So an agent->browser message added to the protocol and forgotten in that list makes a viewer drivable by anyone who knows a session id. Dropping keyboard:toggled from it left both suites green; clipboard:data was held only because somebody wrote that one test by hand. Types erase, so no runtime array can be derived from a union -- the issue's preferred "derive it" is not available and both candidates reduce to two lists plus a compiler-enforced equality. These are type-level assertions, so a violated invariant is a compile error at the declaration. - MessageType covers every protocol literal and invents none. It was missing stream:request-idr, the exact drift protocol/AGENTS.md cites as the reason this package exists, still alive in the copy underneath it. - AGENT_MSG_TYPES equals what the agent directions declare, both ways. - Nothing a browser may send is something an agent produces. This catches the widening mutation without restating 63 literals, and it is what the door enforces at runtime. Not blanket disjointness: device:shutdown is deliberately in both RelayToAgent and BrowserToRelay. A message declared and placed in no direction reaches none of those -- it is absent from the union they read. Types cannot enumerate their own declarations, so that is checked as source text beside the two facts protocolMessageNames already checks that way. Writing that parser reproduced the failure the file warns about: blanking comment lines instead of removing them truncated RelayOrAgentToBrowser at an interior comment and reported its last two members as orphans that were not. Eight mutations run, all killed, including a renamed direction root -- the one way this check could go quiet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nd stop a guard counting prose Adversarial review of e84a2ea, plus one thing an existing guard caught. The disjointness assertion named BrowserToRelay inside RelayServer.ts, and clientOutboundTyped derives "browser-role package" from who mentions that union -- so the relay read as a browser-role sender. The guard was right: the claim is about the protocol's own directions, not about the relay, and typeAssertions.ts is where such claims already live. Moved. That guard then counted the comment explaining the move. A mention in prose is not a usage, and the offender scan two lines below it already strips comments; only the role detection was raw. Same shape as the browserInboundRouting defect this repo already recorded, where a comment mentioning { type: 'error' } was counted as a union member. From the review: - messageInterfaces dropped declarations four measured ways -- a trailing comment after the literal, no space after `type:`, a generic parameter list, a wrapped extends -- and every one kept messages.size at exactly 65, so the anti-vacuity pin was satisfied by the loss. A dropped message is exempt from all five assertions here and from AnyWireMessage, which is the hole the direction check exists to close. The patterns are tolerant now, and a second assertion audits the capture with a looser pattern than the capture uses: a pin cannot audit the parser that feeds it. - DIRECTIONS and AnyWireMessage were two copies with one silent divergence. Adding a direction to AnyWireMessage alone orphans its members, loudly; adding it to DIRECTIONS alone was green everywhere while every literal in it stayed exempt from the relay's checks. One assertion. - AGENT_MSG_TYPE_LIST is pinned with `satisfies` before the Exclude pair. Exclude<AgentProduced, string> is never, so widening the list past its literals made the covering assertion -- the one carrying the security consequence -- pass while checking nothing, failing only its sibling, whose own comment calls that direction the one that gates nothing. - The srcNoComments docstring asserted three things review measured false. Remove versus blank makes no difference on this file; the symptom recorded came from blanking // lines, and what it produces is invented members rather than truncation; and the /** */ removal still truncated, because it left the indentation behind as a whitespace-only line. Reason rewritten to what was measured, and the removal now takes the leading whitespace with it. Deferred: the door's assertion checks a proxy rather than the property the door needs -- #557, filed against #507, where route()'s ownership story belongs. Sixteen mutations run, all killed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new protocol checks can be bypassed by comments that mention message names, allowing an undirected message to appear valid and future contract drift to go undetected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Strip all comment forms before parsing unions.
Lines 50-51 retain inline // comments and non-JSDoc /* ... */ comments. unionMembers() extracts uppercase identifiers from the remaining comment text. A comment that names a message interface can make an undirected message appear reachable, so every message interface belongs to a direction can pass incorrectly.
Use a lexer-aware comment stripper, or remove all line and block comments before unionMembers() reads the source.
