Part of phase 2.6 of the SDK maturity plan (the CLI half is bomly-cli#431, opened alongside this).

ADR-0039 moves untrusted-document parsing to encoding/json/v2, whose defaults reject duplicate object names and invalid UTF-8. That posture is right for an SBOM a stranger produced. It is the wrong posture for the plugin wire: enabled plugins are trusted native processes the user launched, so bomly.plugin.v1's contract is frozen fixtures and strict additivity, and tightening decoding is a protocol decision that needs its own ADR — not a side effect of a parser migration in a consumer.

Two fixtures pin the current behavior: a payload repeating a member name, and one carrying invalid UTF-8. Both must keep decoding.

The fixtures discriminate. I checked rather than assumed — under strict decoding both are rejected, with duplicate object member name "version" within "/nodes/0" and invalid UTF-8 within "/nodes/0/copyright" after offset 122. A fixture that passed either way would guard nothing.

The invalid-UTF-8 case asserts the U+FFFD substitution explicitly, so a change to that behavior is visible rather than silent.

Why a guard at all: the hazard is drift, not intent. Nobody sets out to tighten the plugin wire; someone swaps a decoder because it is the one they just used elsewhere, and a plugin built last year stops loading. One deliberate exception already exists and is pinned separately by TestWireV1StrictDependencyIdentity — a dependency payload whose identity cannot mint a well-formed package URL fails decode (ADR-0041). That tightening was ruled and fixture-backed, which is exactly why the accidental kind needs its own guard rather than being assumed absent.

Tests only; no production code changes. go test ./..., go vet ./..., gofmt -l . all clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added transport-level coverage confirming protocol v1 accepts duplicate object fields and uses the final value when applicable.
    • Added coverage confirming invalid UTF-8 is accepted and replaced with the standard replacement character.
    • Verified decoding through the protocol transport envelope.
    • Documented compatibility expectations to prevent unintended tightening of wire-format decoding behavior.

ADR-0039 moves untrusted-document parsing to encoding/json/v2, whose
defaults reject duplicate object names and invalid UTF-8. That posture is
right for an SBOM a stranger produced and wrong for this wire: enabled
plugins are trusted native processes the user launched, so the contract
here is frozen fixtures and strict additivity.

Two fixtures pin it -- a payload repeating a member name, and one
carrying invalid UTF-8 -- both of which strict decoding rejects and v1
accepts. Checked that they discriminate rather than assuming it.

The hazard is drift, not intent: nobody sets out to tighten the plugin
wire, but a decoder swapped because it was the one already in hand does
it silently, and a plugin built last year stops loading.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds protocol v1 transport fixtures and tests. Duplicate copyright values use the last occurrence. Invalid UTF-8 decodes as U+FFFD. Comments document lenient decoding and the strict dependency-identity exception.

Changes

Wire v1 compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lenient decoding fixtures and assertions
wire_compat_test.go
Adds transport-envelope decoding coverage for duplicate JSON members and invalid UTF-8. Tests verify last-value-wins behavior and replacement-character decoding. Comments document the protocol exception.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 892b5

This test-only change preserves protocol v1 decoding compatibility for duplicate JSON names and invalid UTF-8 without changing production behavior. The coverage now verifies the intended retained duplicate value, leaving no current merge-blocking risk.

Poem

I’m a rabbit checking bytes in flight
Duplicate names keep the final write
Broken UTF-8 turns to U+FFFD
Strict identity stays separately read
The v1 wire remains polite and bright

…ncoding/json

Codex was right that the guard did not guard. Every plugin request and
response is decoded by unmarshalBytes in serve.go; the fixtures called
encoding/json.Unmarshal directly, so a migration touching only that
helper would have left this file green while real plugin traffic started
rejecting the payloads. They now go through unmarshalPayload from a
BytesValue envelope, into the DetectionResult a detector plugin returns.
Migrating unmarshalBytes to json/v2 now fails both subtests; before, it
failed neither.

Both reviewers also asked for distinct duplicate values, since equal ones
prove only acceptance. Correct, but the field they proposed does not
work: a node's version is backfilled from its canonical package URL
(ADR-0041), so a duplicated "version" member never reaches the decoded
node -- a payload saying 9.9.9 beside a purl saying 1.3.0 decodes to
1.3.0, and the assertion would hold however duplicates resolved. Found by
mutation check, not by reading. The fixture duplicates copyright instead,
which is free text with no other source, and swapping the two values now
fails the test.
