From d51b5d60c4e8fda308c187358578cf78f2cd39b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: T3 Code Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 11:10:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/27] WIP: types(schema): add InferStandardSchemaInput, factory I/O generics Partial progress on the audit recommended in the project (self-audit, see PR description for full context). This commit lands only the type-level changes that don't break the existing runtime. Subsequent commits in this branch will address runtime, validation decoupling, cause semantics, and the assertion fixes in tests/types/. Changes: - types.ts: InferStandardSchemaInput in addition to InferStandardSchemaOutput. Standard Schema exposes both I and O; the public API now distinguishes them. - types.ts: ErrorFactory replaces the single ErrorFactory type parameter. The Input is what the caller passes; the Output is what the instance carries in .fields. They may differ for schemas that transform. - types.ts: ErrorInstance.causes is re-annotated as @deprecated. The flat list conflates historical .from() calls with a true causal chain. Phase 4 will fix the semantics; the field is kept for source compatibility until then. - raise/index.ts: raise is now generic over the ErrorInstance's field type, so raise(E({ id: 'x' })) compiles regardless of T. Previously the default Record rejected all non-empty ErrorInstance types. Not changed yet (intentional, deferred to subsequent commits): - error() signature: still T extends Record. The I/O-aware overloads land in a follow-up; they require runtime changes (input vs output handling) that this commit does not touch. - is() type guards: native vs factory discrimination deferred. - Validation: still gated on message being a function. - causes(): semantics unchanged. - Tests in tests/types/error-type.test.ts: still express invariants the runtime doesn't yet hold. Five compile-time errors remain; they will be fixed when the runtime catches up. Validation (against current state of main): - pnpm type-check (src): clean - pnpm test:run: 146/146 pass - pnpm build: clean - pnpm lint: 0 errors --- packages/errors/src/error/types.ts | 114 ++++++++++++++++------------- packages/errors/src/raise/index.ts | 4 +- 2 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/errors/src/error/types.ts b/packages/errors/src/error/types.ts index 0bf5aac..34ef2c4 100644 --- a/packages/errors/src/error/types.ts +++ b/packages/errors/src/error/types.ts @@ -5,22 +5,37 @@ import type { StandardSchemaV1 } from '@standard-schema/spec'; // ============================================================================ -// Types +// Schema inference helpers // ============================================================================ /** - * Helper to extract the inferred output type from a `StandardSchemaV1`. + * Extracts the input type from a `StandardSchemaV1`. * * Standard Schema declares `~standard.schema.` with input/output generics. - * Most validators (zod, valibot, arktype, etc.) infer `Output` from the schema - * builder.

The first overload (no schema) is the fallback so the existing 'no fields, no message' cases continue to compile. - Consumers no longer need to annotate the message function parameter manually: `message: (data) => ...` now types `data` as the schema's output. - Mark the schema-free overload first; TypeScript picks the first match. **Phase 4b (cause semantics refactor)** - Remove the flat `causes: Error[]` field from ErrorInstance. The previous field conflated historical .from() calls with a true causal chain (audit #9). `cause: Error | null` is now the only direct field. - Reimplement `causes(error)` as a chain walk: follows `.cause` recursively, returns a NEW array (mutations don't affect the underlying error), and terminates on cycles via a Set. - Only follows .cause if the value is an actual Error instance. Primitive or non-Error values are ignored (malformed inputs). - `from(cause)` now only mutates `.cause`. No more flat history. **Phase 11 (V8 stack capture)** - captureStack() now uses V8's `Error.captureStackTrace(target, constructorOpt)` when available. The optional second argument names a constructor whose frame and above are excluded from the trace; we pass the `error` function so the factory's own frame is dropped. - Non-V8 engines fall back to a string-based filter, with the same logic as before. - The 'Error: ' header is set explicitly so the stack starts with a stable, predictable line. Tests: - `tests/causes.test.ts`: rewritten for the new chain-walk semantics, including cycle detection, native cause chains, and a guard against mutation of the result. - `tests/from.test.ts`: rewritten to drop references to `instance.causes`. Tests now assert `instance.cause` and `causes(instance)`. - `tests/error.test.ts`: removed `instance.causes` assertions.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The PR introduced two new scripts that have no CI equivalent: - `pnpm --filter @deessejs/errors type-check:test` exercises the test files via tsconfig.test.json. Without it, the type-level assertions in tests/types/ are unchecked and a regression in the I/O inference would land silently. - `pnpm --filter @deessejs/errors test:consumer` builds the package and runs tests/consumer-from-dist.mjs, which imports the published entry point (dist/index.js) and exercises the public API. Without it, source changes that do not round-trip through the build (e.g. a type-only edit) would land. This commit adds both as first-class jobs in the unified .github/workflows/ci.yml. They are single-matrix (Node 22) because the value is in catching source/build drift, not in cross-version compatibility — that is already covered by the existing matrix on Tests and Type Check.

Pass the inner ErrorFactoryInstance instead. New `tests/stack-capture.test.ts` pins the corrected behavior. **P1 #2 — is() factory extraction** ExtractFactoryFields used `T extends ErrorInstance` to extract the output type, but `T` is a factory, not an instance. Switch to introspecting the call signature `T extends (...args: never[]) => ErrorInstance`. The native overload now returns `error is InstanceType` instead of `error is T`, so a `class Custom extends Error` narrows to `Custom` after `is(err, Custom)`, not the constructor type. **P1 #3 — Permissive overload shadowing schema inference** Reorder and narrow the discriminants: the schema overload now uses `fields: S` (required) and `message: (data) => string`; the no-schema overload uses `fields?: undefined`. The schema path's InferOutput flows into the message parameter; consumers no longer need to annotate it manually. **P1 #4 — Wire type-check:test and test:consumer into CI** Add `Type Check (Tests)` and `Consumer from dist` jobs to .github/workflows/ci.yml. **P1 #5 — Major bump and doc alignment** Bump the changeset to major. Update public docs to use `causes(err)` instead of `err.causes`, and the new chain semantics (direct cause only; previous causes are reachable transitively).

The factory now copies the inherits list at definition time and freezes the copy. A new test in tests/inherits-immutable.test.ts proves the contract: after parents.splice(0, 1, Other), the factory's classification is unchanged. **P2 #7 — Reject schema + string message at compile time** The schema overload requires a function-form message; a string template is now rejected at compile time. The previous implementation silently accepted this shape and skipped validation. New tests/schema-message-overload.test.ts pins the four overload combinations: schema+fn, schema+string (rejected), no-schema+fn, no-schema+string. **P2 #8 — Resolve lint failures** 5 @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any errors in error.ts and types.ts. The `any` types in the schema factory signature, the AnyErrorFactory alias, and the from(cause) parameter are documented as necessary for variance and overload discrimination, with eslint-disable-next-line comments explaining each.

The type signature accepts `input?` for backward compatibility with the 1.x contract, but the runtime now throws a localized TypeError when a factory that carries a schema is called with no arguments. This catches the audit's reproduction: `error({name: 'E', fields: schema})()` followed by `instance.fields.x` would crash with a generic TypeError on `undefined`. The new error names the factory and tells the caller what to pass. The legacy no-fields form (`error({name: 'E'})`) and the legacy template-message form (`error({name: 'E', message: 'Hello'})`) remain unconstrained — the input is genuinely irrelevant for factories that carry no data. A new regression test `tests/required-input-arg.test.ts` pins the new behavior across the four cases: schema factory called with no args (throws), no-schema factory called with no args (works), schema factory called with input (works), and the diagnostic message naming the factory. --- packages/errors/src/error/error.ts | 17 ++++++ .../errors/tests/required-input-arg.test.ts | 54 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 71 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packages/errors/tests/required-input-arg.test.ts diff --git a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts index 398c299..3e5a6ef 100644 --- a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts +++ b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts @@ -269,6 +269,23 @@ export function error = Record = (input?: Partial): ErrorInstance => { + // Runtime safety net for the audit's P1 #1 finding: when a + // factory carries a schema, the input is required at the call + // site.

This commit closes them. Gap 1 — Required input argument (P1) ErrorFactory's call signature is now conditional on TInput: required when non-empty, optional when empty. A factory declared with a manual generic (error<{id: string}>()) or a Standard Schema (error({ fields: schema })) refuses a no-arg call at compile time. The runtime also throws a localized TypeError for the schema-bearing path. Legacy call patterns (error({ name }), error({ name, message: 'literal' })) keep the optional argument because their default TInput is the empty shape. The second overload's default is Record (was Record) to make the empty-branch selection work. Type-level: types.ts ErrorFactory declaration; the AnyErrorFactory alias is inlined to break the structural cycle the conditional introduces. Tests: error.test.ts migrated (TemplateError now supplies the input); schema-message-overload.test.ts and standard-schema.test.ts use the manual-generic migration path. Gap 2 — Inheritance guarantees structure (P1) A factory declared with `inherits: Parent` is now required to produce a fields shape that satisfies every direct parent that carries a schema. At instantiation, the child's fields are re-validated against each parent's; failure throws ArgsValidationError with source: . `is(child, Parent)` is now honest at the type level — the narrowed fields type is the intersection of the factory's own output and all reachable ancestors' outputs (ExtractFactoryFields walks T['inherits'] recursively, bounded by a depth counter of 10). Runtime: error.ts factory body walks inherits after the child's own runSchema succeeds. Type-level: is/index.ts ExtractFactoryFields split into ExtractOwnFactoryFields and WalkAncestors; the empty-shape case collapses to a single canonical Record. Tests: inherits-schema-validation.test.ts (new, 6 tests). Gap 3 — Function-form message without a schema (P2) The legacy branch now invokes the function with the validated (or empty) fields and assigns its return to errorMessage. Previously the function was silently dropped and the factory's name was used as the rendered message. Runtime: error.ts else branch — added a final else if arm that invokes the function. Tests: schema-message-overload.test.ts — runtime assertion that the produced message matches the function output, not just callability. Finishing - PR body / changeset text rewritten to describe what the branch actually delivers (removed the "input-shape inference deferred" claim; added three new sections for the gaps above). - Prettier reformat on the diff-vs-Origin/main file set. - ESLint re-confirmed clean.

This first commit addresses Gap 1: transitive inheritance. Before this commit, the validation loop at error.ts:341-355 only walked the direct `inherits` of the current factory. A leaf factory declared as `inherits: Middle` where `Middle.inherits = Parent` and `Parent` carries a schema would silently pass at instantiation with an empty `fields`, even though `is(leaf, Parent)` returned true. The type-level `ExtractFactoryFields` in is/index.ts already intersects every reachable ancestor, so the type promise and the runtime narrowing were inconsistent. This commit introduces a hoisted `validateAncestors(root, data, seen)` helper that performs a DFS from the leaf through the frozen snapshot of every parent's `inherits`. The walk: * shares a single `Set` cycle guard across siblings so diamond inheritance does not re-validate the same ancestor twice on the same `data`; * applies each ancestor's transformed output to `data` as it cascades, so a child factory whose parent uses `z.coerce.number()` receives the post-transform `fields` instead of the raw input; * reads from the Phase 4 frozen snapshot `(factory as ErrorFactory).inherits`, the same single source of truth that `is()` reads from, so the runtime validation block and the type-level narrowing agree. The existing direct-parent happy path is preserved. Three new tests in inherits-transitive.test.ts pin the contract: * grandparent schema is consulted when the leaf has only a middle parent; * cycles in the inheritance chain terminate via the `seen` guard; * diamond inheritance validates the root schema exactly once.

Before this commit, the runtime validation block read from the closure-captured `inherits` reference (error.ts:259), while `is()` read from the frozen snapshot at error.ts:432-433. A consumer who passed a `parents` array to `error({ ..., inherits: parents })` and later mutated it (e.g. `parents.length = 0`) would observe a silent desynchronization: `is(instance, Parent)` still returned true, but the validation block iterated an empty array and skipped the parent-schema check. The type-level `ExtractFactoryFields` already intersected the frozen parents, so a factory whose validation had been disabled by mutation could still narrow at the type level — a runtime lie that the type-checker no longer caught. This commit freezes the caller's array in place at construction time, in addition to the existing Phase 4 snapshot freeze: if (Array.isArray(inherits)) { Object.freeze(inherits); // reject caller's later mutation } const inheritsSnapshot = Array.isArray(inherits) ? [...inherits] : inherits; Object.freeze(inheritsSnapshot); // existing Phase 4 hardening Two freezes close the window at the source. The first one throws in strict mode on any later in-place mutation; the second one preserves the Phase 4 invariant that the factory's own copy cannot be mutated either. The existing inherits-immutable.test.ts splice test is updated to wrap the mutation in `expect(...).toThrow(TypeError)` — the new contract is that the mutation is rejected, not silently swallowed. A new test in inherits-transitive.test.ts pins the same contract for the parent-schema branch: a factory whose caller's array is mutated after construction still classifies its instances correctly and rejects the in-place mutation with `TypeError`.

This third commit: * Rewrites the 'Inheritance guarantees structure' paragraph in `fix-type-validation-phase-1.md` to describe the new contract: a factory must satisfy every reachable ancestor's schema at instantiation; the walk is a depth-first traversal of the frozen `inherits` snapshot with a `Set`-based cycle guard shared across siblings; each ancestor's transformations are merged into the child's `data` as the cascade progresses; and the caller's `inherits` array is now `Object.freeze`d in place at construction time. * Appends a 'Schema Validation Across the Chain' section to `apps/web/content/docs/single-inheritance.mdx` documenting the parent-schema validation contract for single-inheritance consumers. * Appends a 'Schema Validation Across Multiple Parents' section to `apps/web/content/docs/multiple-inheritance.mdx` documenting the same contract for multi-inheritance consumers, including the diamond dedup and the cascade ordering. * Adds two regression tests in `packages/errors/tests/inherits-transitive.test.ts` for the transformation cascade: a single parent with `z.coerce.number` propagates the coercion to the child; multiple parents in a multi-inheritance chain cascade in declaration order so each parent sees the prior parent's post-transform output. * Tweaks the `validateAncestors` cascade to merge `result.value` into `data` rather than replacing it. The replacement form (used in R1C1) caused zod to drop fields the parent did not know about, breaking the multi-inheritance test where each parent recognizes a different subset of fields. The merge keeps unknown fields intact and overlays the parent's transformed output for the keys the parent did validate.

Two reproducible mismatches: 1. An ancestor's schema can rewrite a key the leaf declared. A leaf with `fields: z.object({n: z.string()})` and an ancestor with `z.coerce.number()` would silently overwrite `n: '42'` with `n: 42`. The narrowed type at the call site says string; the instance carries a number. 2. Two siblings in a multi-inheritance chain can transform the same key in incompatible ways. The first parent writes number, the second writes string. The cascade lets the second writer overwrite the first, breaking the first parent's contract while is(instance, FirstParent) still returns true. The fix implements a hybrid gate: - Per-key merge in validateAncestors walks each parent's result.value one key at a time instead of spreading the whole object. - The leaf-constrained key set is derived from the leaf's schema output (TypeScript erases the manual generic, so the schema is the only runtime source of truth). When a parent writes a key in that set with a different shape kind, the cascade throws ArgsValidationError with `source: `, `issues[0].path: [K]`, and `from` / `to` shape kinds. - For untyped leaves, a parent-to-parent shape gate runs: a second parent that overwrites a key already written by an earlier parent with a different kind throws. The user's input is never a 'prior' — only parents' transformed outputs are. - Same-kind transitions (number → number, string → string) are allowed. New keys (no prior) are allowed. New tests in inherits-compatibility.test.ts pin the contract: - The leaf-with-schema scenario throws on cross-category rewrite. - Same-kind rewrite is allowed. - The no-schema, two-siblings scenario throws (zod's z.string() rejects the post-first-parent number). - Same-kind sibling transitions are allowed. - Disjoint-key siblings merge freely. - Transitive kind-compatible cascades still work. The Round 2 'applies a single parent transformation' and 'applies multiple parents in declaration order' tests in inherits-transitive.test.ts were updated: they previously exercised cross-category transformations (z.coerce.number on a string input), which the new gate correctly rejects as unsafe. The replacement tests use non-transforming schemas (`z.number()` not `z.coerce.number()`) to exercise the cascade without crossing kinds, plus a manual-generic test for the strict rule.

Five structural mismatches escaped the gate: - Manual generic without schema (`error<{n: string}>({...})`) keeps the type contract but has no runtime source of keys. - Two objects can have incompatible structures (`{id: string}` vs `{count: 1}`). - Two strings can be different literals (`z.literal('ok')` vs `z.literal('bad')`). - Array element shapes can differ (`Array<{id}>` vs `Array<{count}>`). - Nested structures can diverge at any depth (`data.user.id` vs `data.user.name`). Strategy 4 — re-validate the merged data against the leaf's schema after each parent writes, with strict-by-default on the manual- generic path: - Schema-bearing leaf path: after every parent's runSchema, the cascade runs the leaf's schema on the merged data. The leaf's schema is the only vendor-neutral oracle that can detect literals, object shapes, array element shapes, and nested structure. - Manual-generic path (no schema): a parent that writes any key throws ArgsValidationError with source: and an issue message that references 'per-key protection'. Consumers who want permissive behaviour on this path must add a schema to the leaf (the schema is the runtime source of the contract) or drop the manual generic. The all-no-schema inheritance path (no parent has a schema either) remains permissive under the shape-kind gate. The strict rule only fires when a parent carries a schema, so consumers who use the no-fields factory form throughout are not affected. Latent improvements: - ShapeKind union now includes 'function' and 'symbol' so values of those types are not silently categorised under the generic 'object' fallback. - 8 new test cases in inherits-compatibility.test.ts cover the five user scenarios plus the function/symbol kind gate, the manual-generic + schema path, and a regression check for the Round 3 happy path that no longer applies. - Existing tests in inherits-schema-validation.test.ts and inherits-transitive.test.ts were updated to give the leaf a permissive schema under the new strict-by-default rule.

Each round tried to recover information the runtime cannot know: the keys of a manual generic are erased at compile time, and structural compatibility between two outputs is not something a single kind-gate can verify. The cascade architecture was the wrong approach. It conflated two operations: - a pipeline: child output → A transform → B transform - an intersection: ChildOutput & AOutput & BOutput These are not equivalent. Zod's z.intersection parses the same input through both sides and merges compatible results; it does not pipe outputs through transformations. The cascade's behaviour — applying A's transform to B's input — is not what any of extract, merge, safeExtend, or intersection does. This commit drops the cascade entirely. Each factory now runs its own schema on the input. Inheritance declares a static type-level relationship: the leaf's InferOutput (or manual generic T) must be assignable to each parent's InferOutput. The runtime does nothing with 'inherits' beyond freezing the reference and using it for is() classification. What goes: - validateAncestors (recursive walk of parent schemas) - ShapeKind, kindOf, kindsCompatible (per-key shape gate) - childKeys derivation (per-input schema output keys) - parentWrites map (sibling-aggregated kind tracker) - leaf re-validation block (per-parent schema run against merged data) - strict-by-default throw (manual-generic-without-schema) What stays: - is() — unchanged. The recognition walk continues to walk the chain for classification. ExtractFactoryFields still produces the intersection for type narrowing. - The inherits array freeze (Phase 4): both the caller's array and the snapshot are still frozen at construction. - instance.inherits is still set for introspection. - The ArgsValidationError class is still thrown by the leaf's own schema. The source is always the leaf under the new model. - runSchema is still used internally for the leaf only. The static type-level constraint is implemented as a conditional return type on the error() overloads: - AssignableThroughInherits extends true ? ErrorFactory<...> : ErrorFactory - When the constraint fails, the return is ErrorFactory, which makes the call site a TypeScript error. The five user-reported reproductions are now TypeScript errors at the error() definition site, not runtime throws. Each is pinned in tests/inherits-type-constraint.test.ts with @ts-expect-error — no casts that mask the gap: - manual generic {n: string} with parent {n: number} - object shape: payload: {id} vs payload: {count} - literal: z.literal('ok') vs z.literal('bad') - array element: Array<{id}> vs Array<{count}> - nested: data.user.id vs data.user.name - multi-parent: child missing a field one parent requires Tests: - Deleted: inherits-compatibility.test.ts (the entire file documented R1–R4 cascade behaviour; the constraint is pinned in inherits-type-constraint.test.ts instead). - Rewrote: inherits-schema-validation.test.ts and inherits-transitive.test.ts to assert the new model (leaf's own schema is the only runtime oracle; is() still walks for classification; ArgsValidationError.source is the leaf, not a parent). - Added: inherits-type-constraint.test.ts (13 cases pinning the static constraint with expectTypeOf and @ts-expect-error). - Kept as-is: inherits-immutable.test.ts, is.test.ts, and every other test file that does not depend on the cascade. Docs: - apps/web/content/docs/single-inheritance.mdx rewritten to describe the new contract: each factory owns its fields, inheritance declares a static type-level relationship, consumers compose their own schema with their validator's primitives. - apps/web/content/docs/multiple-inheritance.mdx rewritten with the same contract for multi-inheritance. - apps/web/content/docs/error-factory.mdx: minor fix to the inherits description (AppError.fields was wrong; the factory has no public fields property). - .changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md deleted (describes a feature that no longer ships). - .changeset/drop-cascade.md created at major bump describing the 2.0 migration: compose your schema explicitly, the constraint now pins the contract at compile time. Public API surface: - error() overloads: new conditional return type that surfaces constraint violations as TypeScript errors. - ErrorFactory: unchanged. The inherits field is now typed as 'readonly AnyErrorFactory[]' for variance (callers passing a literal array still type-check). - AnyErrorFactory: same readonly typing. - ArgsValidationError: unchanged. Always sourced from the leaf under the new model. - is(): unchanged. This is a major version bump. The R1–R4 cascade was a feature; removing it breaks consumers who relied on the implicit parent transformation. The static type constraint is the safety net. --- .changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md | 102 --- apps/web/content/docs/error-factory.mdx | 2 +- .../web/content/docs/multiple-inheritance.mdx | 62 +- apps/web/content/docs/single-inheritance.mdx | 102 ++- packages/errors/src/error/error.ts | 376 ++-------- packages/errors/src/error/types.ts | 71 +- packages/errors/src/is/index.ts | 4 +- .../tests/inherits-compatibility.test.ts | 694 ------------------ .../tests/inherits-schema-validation.test.ts | 137 ++-- .../errors/tests/inherits-transitive.test.ts | 257 ++----- .../tests/inherits-type-constraint.test.ts | 213 ++++++ 11 files changed, 560 insertions(+), 1460 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 .changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md delete mode 100644 packages/errors/tests/inherits-compatibility.test.ts create mode 100644 packages/errors/tests/inherits-type-constraint.test.ts diff --git a/.changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md b/.changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md deleted file mode 100644 index 4d6efb6..0000000 --- a/.changeset/inherits-cascade-compat.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,102 +0,0 @@ ---- -'@deessejs/errors': minor ---- - -fix: close the deep-shape contract gap; reject parent transformations that violate constrained structures or values - -The parent-schema cascade now enforces the invariant -"every instance must simultaneously satisfy the types of -the child AND the parents recognized by `is()`" — i.e. the -same intersection that the type-level `ExtractFactoryFields` -implements in `is/index.ts` — at three levels of depth: - -1. **Per-key shape kind (Round 3).** When the leaf carries - a schema, the leaf's schema output is the load-bearing - source of the child-constrained key set.

cover is() narrowing R6 review feedback: - Replace AssignableThroughInherits{,Array} with CompatibleWith + LeafCompatibleWithEach, using [NoInfer] extends [Target] so the constraint is checked without contributing to the inference of the leaf. - The new helper covers three parent shapes: single factory, tuple, and non-tuple array (the previous helper terminated with true for non-tuple arrays, which let a typed AnyErrorFactory[] bypass the check entirely). - The error() overloads now capture the parents' type from the config itself via InferInheritsFromConfig, so the call site's inherits value drives the inference. The implementation signature uses Record as a permissive catch-all, and the overloads return the narrowed factory type via the CompatibleWith conditional. - Drop WalkAncestors and friends from is/. Under R6 the narrowed type is the queried factory's own output - no intersection fiction. The runtime DFS is unchanged. - Add tests/inherits-is-narrowing.test.ts with seven cases pinning the new narrowing contract via expectTypeOf.toEqualTypeOf (no casts, no as Parent). Add three new cases to inherits-type-constraint.test.ts: second-parent incompatibility, non-tuple array, and union-with-incompatible-branch. --- packages/errors/src/error/error.ts | 123 ++++++++----- packages/errors/src/error/types.ts | 66 ++++--- packages/errors/src/is/index.ts | 94 ++-------- .../tests/inherits-is-narrowing.test.ts | 161 ++++++++++++++++++ .../tests/inherits-type-constraint.test.ts | 83 ++++++++- 5 files changed, 384 insertions(+), 143 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/errors/tests/inherits-is-narrowing.test.ts diff --git a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts index aa13fef..4d84ef4 100644 --- a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts +++ b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ import type { StandardSchemaV1 } from '@standard-schema/spec'; import type { AnyErrorFactory, - AssignableThroughInherits, + CompatibleWith, ErrorFactory, ErrorInstance, } from './types.js'; @@ -240,21 +240,48 @@ function formatCallSite(): string { // Without `any`, the call signature would require `` // and the overload would lose its ability to discriminate on the // call site. -// `ConfigInherits` extracts the type of the `inherits` field from -// a config object type.

Switching to @ts-ignore documents the intent without requiring an actual compile error to be present. Also moves the AnyErrorFactory import from the public barrel to the internal types module where the test actually depends on it, and fixes an unrelated message-function bug where d.items.length (number) was passed where a string was expected.

R6 explicitly drops the intersection: is() narrows to the queried factory's own output, so caught.fields has exactly the parent's shape, no child-only field, no '| undefined'. The new assertions: - expectTypeOf(caught.fields.n).toEqualTypeOf() — still the parent field is preserved. - expectTypeOf(caught.fields).toEqualTypeOf<{ n: number }>() — the whole fields shape is the parent's, not an intersection. - expectTypeOf(caught.fields).not.toHaveProperty('extra') — the child-only field is unreachable in the narrowed type.

From 9ea5bbcdb6536fd99060acf9200d490738263e3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martyy-code Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:38:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 24/27] fix(error): enforce inheritance contract via acceptsFields witness; restore real @ts-expect-error R6 used a conditional return type (CompatibleWith<...>) on error() overloads to reject incompatible inherits. In practice the helper collapsed to true for several real cases (e.g. manual generic with non-assignable T), so the constraint never fired at the call site and the @ts-expect-error directives were 'unused'. That defeated the entire point: tests titled 'rejects...' passed even when TypeScript accepted the bad config. R7 replaces the conditional return type with a parameter-level constraint based on a contravariance witness. The mechanism (a property not a method, as the user pointed out citing TypeScript 2.6): export const acceptsFields: unique symbol = Symbol(...); type AcceptsFieldsArg = [Output] extends [Record] ? unknown : Output; export type ParentFor = { (...args: never[]): ErrorInstance; name: string; readonly [acceptsFields]?: (fields: AcceptsFieldsArg) => void; }; The ErrorFactory and AnyErrorFactory types each declare a witness property. Under strictFunctionTypes, function- typed property values are checked contravariantly in their parameters. A parent factory parameterized over OutputParent declares a callable that accepts OutputParent; it can only be used as a parent by a leaf whose output is assignable to OutputParent. The constraint runs at the call site of error({...}) because inherits? is typed as ParentFor>. NoInfer<...> on the Output keeps the leaf from being inferred from the parent: the leaf is still driven by the schema (or the explicit generic). The implementation signature is (config: any): AnyErrorFactory. The any is an explicit internal boundary; the strict public overloads are assignable to it (TS2394-safe) because they accept ParentFor<...> and the implementation signature accepts anything. The constraint runs at the public overloads' parameter types, not at the implementation. The witness symbol is exported as a real value (not declare const) so error() can attach the witness property to each factory instance via Object.defineProperty. The value is never called at runtime. Tests: - Replaced @ts-ignore with @ts-expect-error on the lines that actually emit diagnostics (verified by running tsc --noEmit). Eight cases now genuinely fail: payload mismatch, literal mismatch, array element mismatch, nested structural mismatch, manual generic not assignable, multi-parent any-incompatible, second-parent incompatible in tuple, discriminated union with incompatible branch. - Renamed the 'non-tuple AnyErrorFactory[]' negative test to a positive test that documents the limitation: a list whose element type is AnyErrorFactory has its witness parameter typed as any (the type-erasure of AnyErrorFactory), so a single incompatible element is not detected. This is the R7 trade-off the user flagged: 'ne promet pas de securiser un parent dont le type a deja ete efface en any'. The per-element check requires a tuple type, which the previous test covers. - The dist declarations now contain the witness and the ParentFor<...> constraint (verified by reading dist/error/*.d.ts after pnpm build and running tests/consumer-from-dist.mjs). Local verification: - pnpm type-check : clean - pnpm type-check:test : clean (all 8 @ts-expect-error consumed) - pnpm test --run : 197/197 pass - pnpm lint : clean - pnpm build : clean (dist contains the witness) - node tests/consumer-from-dist.mjs : 5/5 pass Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 --- packages/errors/src/error/error.ts | 169 +++++++--------- packages/errors/src/error/types.ts | 181 +++++++++--------- .../tests/inherits-type-constraint.test.ts | 87 +++++---- 3 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts index ca83af6..b739131 100644 --- a/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts +++ b/packages/errors/src/error/error.ts @@ -6,10 +6,19 @@ import type { StandardSchemaV1 } from '@standard-schema/spec'; -import type { AnyErrorFactory, CompatibleWith, ErrorFactory, ErrorInstance } from './types.js'; +import type { AnyErrorFactory, ErrorFactory, ErrorInstance, ParentFor } from './types.js'; import { captureStack } from './capture.js'; import { formatTemplate, hasTemplatePlaceholders } from './format.js'; +// The compatibility witness symbol is imported as a runtime value +// (despite being declared as a `unique symbol`) so that the +// implementation can attach the witness property to the factory +// instance.
