Problem

xtest/manifest.schema.json was a snapshot of the platform's schema taken in November 2024 and never resynced. Ten months of drift, in both directions:

drift consequence
no hybrid-wrapped key access type xtest rejects manifests the platform accepts
no HS256 constraint on rootSignature.alg xtest accepts a GMAC root the platform rejects

otdf-local meanwhile validated against platform/sdk/schema, so local and CI checked different schemas.

Change

Delete the copy; fetch the authoritative one from opentdf/platform over HTTPS, cached once per pytest process. Deliberately the tip of main, not the platform under test — the schema is normative, so a branch writing manifests main's schema rejects is what this should catch. PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF overrides the ref; SCHEMA_FILE reads a local path and is the offline escape hatch.

SCHEMA_FILE and PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF are mutually exclusive — setting both raises, since SCHEMA_FILE would win and drop the requested ref in silence. otdf-local env no longer emits SCHEMA_FILE either: it pointed at the platform checkout, so local runs validated against the branch under test and the local/CI divergence outlived the vendored copy this PR deletes.

Heads-up for reviewers

  • rootSignature.alg: ["HS256"] is newly enforced. Any SDK writing a GMAC root will now fail where it passed. That is the bug working as intended, but it is a CI behaviour change — hence draft, pending a full cross-SDK run.
  • Adds a network dependency the suite did not have: one cached request to raw.githubusercontent.com, 30s timeout, SCHEMA_FILE covers offline.

Testing

ruff check, ruff format, pyright all clean. Fetch verified against live main (has hybrid-wrapped and the HS256 enum; second call is a cache hit); SCHEMA_FILE override verified; a bad PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF surfaces as HTTPError 404 rather than silently falling back.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Manifest schema validation now loads a cached local schema or fetches the schema from opentdf/platform. Workflows no longer provide the removed local schema file. Documentation covers schema references and network troubleshooting.

Offline validation of a schema-changing platform ref can silently use main’s schema instead. Update the cache command before merge so the documented workflow validates the intended ref.

xtest carried xtest/manifest.schema.json, a snapshot of platform's copy
taken in Nov 2024 and never resynced. Ten months of drift, in both
directions: the local copy had no hybrid-wrapped key access type, so it
rejected manifests platform accepts, and no HS256 constraint on
rootSignature.alg, so it accepted a GMAC root platform rejects.

otdf-local meanwhile validated against platform/sdk/schema, so local and
CI were checking different schemas.

Delete the copy and fetch the authoritative one over HTTPS from
opentdf/platform. Fetching rather than reading a checkout means there is
no path to resolve: PLATFORM_DIR is relative and only some jobs set it,
and a wrong relative path fails as a missing file rather than as a
wrong schema.

Deliberately the tip of main rather than the platform under test. The
schema is normative, so a branch that writes manifests main's schema
rejects is exactly what this should catch. PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF overrides
the ref when a branch legitimately changes the schema; SCHEMA_FILE still
overrides with a local path, which is also the offline escape hatch.

Cached with functools.cache, so one fetch per pytest process.

…at a sibling checkout

The offline workaround named a relative path into a platform checkout that
only exists on a developer machine laid out a particular way, and nowhere in
CI. Fetch the schema once with curl and point SCHEMA_FILE at the local copy,
which works the same in both places.

X-Test Failure Report

The paragraph recounted why xtest's Nov 2024 snapshot was deleted -- the
missing hybrid-wrapped type, the missing HS256 constraint. That history
belongs to the commit that removed the copy, where it already is in full;
a reader of this function needs to know where the schema comes from and
which env vars redirect it, both of which the remaining paragraphs say.

Comment thread AGENTS.md Outdated

SCHEMA_FILE was checked first and returned early, so PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF
was dropped without a word when both were set. The reader asked for a
branch's schema and got main's -- validating against the wrong schema,
which is the failure this function exists to prevent.

They are alternatives, not a precedence order, so raise and say which to
unset rather than pick one.

The offline recipe in AGENTS.md walked into exactly this: it hardcoded
`main` in the curl and then exported SCHEMA_FILE, so anyone on a
schema-changing branch cached the wrong schema. It now fetches
${PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF:-main} and unsets the ref, which the new check
requires anyway.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #609, which caught the docs half.

`otdf-local env` emitted SCHEMA_FILE=<platform>/sdk/schema/manifest.schema.json,
so every local run validated against the branch under test while CI
validated against the normative schema on main. That is the same local/CI
divergence that deleting xtest's vendored copy was meant to end -- the copy
went away, the divergence stayed.

It also outranked PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF for anyone running
`eval $(otdf-local env)`, since SCHEMA_FILE wins, so the one documented way
to test a schema-changing branch silently did nothing locally.

Emit neither, and let xtest fetch the normative schema exactly as CI does.
Offline, set SCHEMA_FILE by hand per AGENTS.md; the shell keeps it now that
nothing overwrites it.

✅ js@v0.4.0-v0.26.0

pflynn-virtru and others added 3 commits September 17, 2026 15:49
The function decides which schema every manifest in the suite is validated
against, and each of its four paths fails quietly when wrong: a bad default
validates against the wrong ref, a dropped PLATFORM_SCHEMA_REF validates
against main, a typo'd SCHEMA_FILE could fall back to the network. All four
produce a green run either way, which is what the rest of this module exists
to catch.

Offline: a stub stands in for urlopen and records the URLs asked for, so the
two error cases assert no fetch happened rather than only that they raised.

The fixture clears the process cache on both sides. manifest_schema is
functools.cache'd, so the SCHEMA_FILE test would otherwise hand its tmp-file
schema to every later caller, test_tdfs.py's two validate_manifest_schema
sites included.

The offline recipe in AGENTS.md curls the schema into xtest/ under exactly
the name the deleted copy had. Nothing stopped a later `git add -A` from
committing it back, restoring the snapshot that drifted from opentdf/platform
and the local/CI divergence with it.

Same reasoning as aa05091 applied to manifest_schema's docstring: the
comment recounted what the code used to emit and why that was wrong, which
the commit that removed it already says in full. What a reader here needs is
why the variable is deliberately absent and what re-adding it would break.
