Overview

What

  • EventTypeDefinition.Equal and RuleConfigDefinition.Equal compare schemas in canonical form instead of byte by byte.
  • pkg/jsonx.Canonical is new: it re-encodes a JSON document with sorted object keys and no whitespace, keeping number text and array order.
  • definitions.Fingerprint(def) is new: a sha256:<hex> hash of the Event type, the payload schema and the Rule configuration schema (or its absence), all in canonical form. DeprecatedBy is left out.
  • openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/definitions.sum is new. It has one line per generated definition, in Event type order: <event type> sha256:<hex>, followed by deprecated_by=<event type> when the definition is deprecated.
  • The definitions package embeds definitions.sum and exposes Generate and Verify. TestDefinitionsSum calls Verify, so it fails when a definition, a deprecation, or the set of types no longer matches the file.
  • make update-notification-definitions-sum rewrites the file.

No runtime behavior changes. Nothing outside tests and the make target calls Equal, Fingerprint, Generate or Verify.

Why

A released Event type definition must not change in place; a changed contract is a new Event type version. Until now only review enforced that, and an in-place schema edit is easy to miss among generated files. A recorded fingerprint turns the edit into a visible definitions.sum diff and a failing test.

Only the author knows whether a changed definition was ever released. A definition that never shipped, like the current v1.billing.invoice.created placeholder payload, may still change. So the test does not decide: the author rewrites the file with the make target, and the reviewer sees the changed line. The target is deliberately not part of make generate or go:generate; make generate runs go generate ./..., so it would rewrite the file silently and hide a change to a released definition.

Canonical form avoids false alarms: reformatting a schema or reordering object keys does not change the fingerprint or equality. Array order and number text still count, so 1 and 1.0, or reordered enum values, read as changes. For an immutability check, a false "changed" is the safe mistake.

The fingerprint covers the whole definition, not single schemas, so it also catches a Rule configuration being added to an existing type. DeprecatedBy is set on definitions that are already released, so it stays out of the hash. It is still recorded in its own column, so adding, changing or removing a deprecation is visible in review and cannot happen by accident.

How

  • Canonical JSON. jsonx.Canonical decodes with UseNumber, so numbers keep their text and large integers don't round through float64, and re-encodes without HTML escaping. It uses the standard library only; the jsonschema library has no canonical encoder, and its internal equality treats 1 and 1.0 as equal. Equal falls back to byte comparison for invalid JSON, which only definitions that never passed Validate can hold; Fingerprint returns an error instead.
  • Fingerprint placement. Fingerprint is a function in the definitions package next to Generate and Verify, not a method, so EventTypeDefinition methods stay about runtime behavior.
  • Lock file. definitions.sum follows the go.sum and atlas.sum style and sits next to the generated definitions.All(). Verify compares the embedded file with freshly generated content and reports both on mismatch. definitions/internal/sumgen writes the file for the make target, and leaves it untouched if generation fails. Nothing is checked at startup, because the binary and the file come from the same commit.
  • Tests. TestCanonical covers key order, whitespace, array order, number text, large integers, HTML characters and invalid input. TestFingerprint checks that formatting, key order and DeprecatedBy don't change the fingerprint, and that the type, payload, Rule presence and Rule configuration do. TestGenerate and TestVerify cover ordering, the deprecated_by column, and detection of changed payloads, deprecations and removed definitions. TestEventTypeDefinitionEqual gains a reformatted-schema case.
  • Docs. The v4 README describes canonical equality, definitions.Fingerprint, definitions.sum and the make target, and its limitations say that the check catches an in-place change but review decides whether it is safe. api/spec/README.md points contract authors to the same rule. The README's provider links now point to provider/, which refactor(notification): move v4 provider contracts into provider package #5401 renamed.

Jira: OM-566

Notes for reviewer

  • Naming. Fingerprint and definitions.sum avoid "contract", which is too generic in this codebase.
  • Placeholder locked. v1.billing.invoice.created is locked with its current placeholder payload. When the full invoice payload lands, that PR updates its line with the make target; this is allowed because the type was never released.
  • Adding a type. A new Event type also fails the test until its author runs the make target, so every new line goes through review.
  • Out of scope: a per-database check of definitions an environment has already seen, which would need a table and a startup gate.
  • Dependencies: none added.
  • Untracked design documents and local files are excluded.
  • Verification:
    • go test passes for pkg/jsonx and openmeter/notification/v4/..., including the live Svix provider tests;
    • make update-notification-definitions-sum leaves definitions.sum unchanged;
    • make lint-go reports no issues.

Checklist

  • I updated the relevant package README, or this change does not affect domain behavior, ownership, lifecycle semantics, or a cross-domain contract.
    • openmeter/notification/v4/README.md covers canonical equality, fingerprints and definitions.sum. api/spec/README.md covers the rule for contract authors.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • New Features
    • Notification event schemas are treated as equivalent when they differ only in formatting or object-key order; array order and number text remain significant.
    • Added checks that detect changes to recorded event definitions, with a command to update the record for definitions that have not been released.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how definition changes and replacements are recorded, and that checks do not compare definitions with database history.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for schema comparison and definition-record verification.

RetriggerView in GreptileConfidence Score: 5/5

Summary

This PR records notification definitions in definitions.sum and checks them in tests.

  • Schema equality ignores formatting but keeps meaningful JSON differences.
  • Tests compare generated definitions with a committed fingerprint record.

Reviews (3) · Last reviewed commit: "feat(notification): track v4 deprecation..." · Reviewed by Greptile

EventTypeDefinition.Equal compared schemas byte by byte, so a formatting
change in generated output looked like a contract change. Schemas are now
compared after re-encoding with sorted keys and no whitespace. Numbers keep
their text and arrays keep their order, so the comparison still errs on the
side of reporting a change.

JSONSchemaFingerprint hashes the same canonical form for checks that compare
against a recorded value.
A released Event type definition must not change in place, but until now
only review enforced that. EventTypeDefinition.Fingerprint hashes the Event
type and its schemas in canonical form, leaving out DeprecatedBy, which is
set on released definitions. definitions.sum records the fingerprint of every
generated definition, and TestDefinitionsSum fails when one changes.

Only the author knows whether a changed definition was released, so the test
does not decide: running it with -update rewrites the file, and the change
shows up in review. The schema-only JSONSchemaFingerprint is replaced by the
definition-level fingerprint.

Walkthrough

Notification event schemas now use canonical JSON for equality and fingerprinting. The change adds generation and verification of a committed definitions.sum, a command and Makefile target to update it, tests, and documentation for the contract.

Changes: Notification event contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical schema comparison
pkg/jsonx/canonical.go, pkg/jsonx/canonical_test.go, openmeter/notification/v4/eventregistry.go, openmeter/notification/v4/eventregistry_test.go, openmeter/notification/v4/README.md
jsonx.Canonical normalizes JSON while preserving array order and number text. Event definition equality uses canonical schemas and falls back to byte comparison if canonicalization fails. Tests cover formatting and key-order differences.
Definition fingerprints and sum generation
openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/sum.go, openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/sum_test.go
Fingerprint hashes the event type and canonical schemas, excluding DeprecatedBy. Generate sorts records and includes replacement metadata. Verify compares generated output with the embedded sum. Tests cover fingerprints, output, and mismatches.
Sum verification and update workflow
openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/definitions_test.go, openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/definitions.go, openmeter/notification/v4/definitions/internal/sumgen/main.go, Makefile, api/spec/README.md, openmeter/notification/v4/README.md
A test checks definitions.Verify(). The generator command and Makefile target write the sum file. Documentation describes when to update the file and notes that no check compares changes with database history.

Explanation

The title names the main change: recording v4 event type definition fingerprints. The changeset adds definitions.Fingerprint, a definitions.sum file with fingerprints and deprecation replacements, and Verify tests. The title omits the canonical JSON comparison work, but it still points to the primary change. The ticket tag OM-566 is an identifier, not noise that hides the change.

Nitpick Cover canonical Rule equality with an independent fixture.

90-90: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Cover canonical Rule equality with an independent fixture.

The fingerprint test canonicalizes the Rule schema through Fingerprint(), not through RuleConfigDefinition.Equal(). Also, reformatted := def shares Rule with def; changing that schema would change both values. Use a separate Rule value so a byte-comparison regression can fail this test.

Suggested test fixture fix
 	reformatted := def
 	reformatted.PayloadJSONSchema = json.RawMessage(`{
 		"type": "object",
 		"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
 	}`)
+	reformatted.Rule = &v4.RuleConfigDefinition{
+		JSONSchema: json.RawMessage(`{
+			"type": "object",
+			"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
+		}`),
+	}
 	require.True(t, def.Equal(reformatted))

Review comment at @openmeter/notification/v4/eventregistry_test.go at line 90:
Update the Rule equality test to give the reformatted value an independently
allocated RuleConfigDefinition with an equivalent but separately formatted
JSONSchema. Keep the existing def.Equal(reformatted) assertion so it verifies
RuleConfigDefinition.Equal canonicalizes Rule schemas rather than relying on
shared Rule data or Fingerprint().

The reformatted definition in TestEventTypeDefinitionEqual shared its Rule with the original, so RuleConfigDefinition.Equal only compared identical bytes and a regression to byte comparison went unnoticed. The reformatted definition now has its own Rule with a reformatted schema.

openmeter/notification/v4/eventregistry.go:117-143
Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Include Rule presence in the fingerprint.

null passes EventTypeDefinition.Validate and the jsonschema/v6.0.2 compiler accepts it. A non-nil Rule with this schema can therefore reach NewEventRegistry.

Fingerprint() then hashes the same rule_config: null value as a nil Rule, while EventTypeDefinition.Equal distinguishes the two Rule states. TestDefinitionsSum can therefore miss a change in Rule capability.

Suggested fix
 	doc, err := json.Marshal(struct {
 		EventType  string          `json:"event_type"`
 		Payload    json.RawMessage `json:"payload"`
+		RulePresent bool            `json:"rule_present"`

The provider packages moved from providers/ to provider/ in #5401.
- definitions.sum records each definition's replacement in a separate
  deprecated_by column, so adding, changing or removing a deprecation fails
  the check. The replacement stays out of the fingerprint because it is set
  on released definitions.
- The definitions package embeds definitions.sum and exposes Generate and
  Verify; TestDefinitionsSum calls Verify.
- make update-notification-definitions-sum rewrites the file. It is not part
  of make generate, so routine regeneration cannot accept a changed released
  contract.
- The fingerprint moves from an EventTypeDefinition method to
  definitions.Fingerprint, keeping the type's methods about runtime behavior.
- The canonical JSON encoding moves to pkg/jsonx, shared by the registry's
  schema equality and the fingerprint.
