fix!: move provider status tracking back to provider

[mtonko-flx]

Intent

The SDK derived OpenFeatureStatus from what a provider did — returning, throwing, or staying silent — while the provider emitted its own events. Two sources of truth for one piece of state left a window after initialize completed but before the SDK updated state, in which a provider's events had no defined order against the SDK's, and made the client's pre-evaluation status check unreliable by construction.

This ports open-feature/swift-sdk#114 (fix!: move provider status tracking back to provider) to Kotlin: the provider owns status and reports every transition as an event; the SDK reads status, republishes events, and infers nothing. It closes the same three upstream issues:

• spec#365 — provider lifecycle race from split status ownership.
• spec#369 — TOCTOU on the client's status check. This was former requirements 1.7.6 and 1.7.7, removed from the specification in spec#385 (v0.9.0). Not to be confused with today's 1.7.6, which is the unrelated "not-ready once shutdown terminates".
• swift-sdk#108 — lifecycle over-serialization.

Changes

Implementation

• New ProviderStatusTracker — public, provider-side. Derives status from the events sent through it, republishes them, and replays the current status to a new subscriber. reconciling { } reports the transitions around a reconciliation, collapsing overlapping invocations into one reported outcome per requirements 5.3.4.2/5.3.4.3.
• FeatureProvider gains an abstract status; observe() loses its default. shutdown() is retained (the Swift protocol has none) with a contract to return to not-ready if the provider can be registered again.
• OpenFeatureAPIInstance keeps no status. getStatus() and statusFlow both project FeatureProvider.status. The one inferred transition is shutdown, where requirement 1.7.6 makes it the SDK's own conclusion: clearProvider installs a provider that was never initialized.
• Lifecycle dispatch runs on the registration's own serial dispatcher, so calls are entered in order without the SDK waiting for one to finish before entering the next. A throw is no longer a status signal — it is logged, and the status stays where the provider put it. Cancellation propagates, and an awaited call waits for the provider to finish unwinding so the outcome it owes a reconciliation is reported first.
• OpenFeatureClient no longer checks status before evaluating. Evaluations always reach the provider and its error surfaces through the normal hook lifecycle. EvaluationState now carries hooks, so an evaluation takes one atomic snapshot instead of two reads.
• MultiProvider owns a tracker and reads children's statuses directly, so its bookkeeping map, status flow and event flow are gone. Strategy gains status(providers) with a default implementation.
• OpenFeatureStatus.Error/Fatal compare by the failure they describe. Without that, the same failure reported live and replayed to a late subscriber is two distinct statuses that distinctUntilChanged cannot collapse.
• Two new events, ProviderReconciling and ProviderContextChanged, plus the specification's event/status association table as shared helpers.

Usage Examples

class MyProvider : FeatureProvider {
    private val statusTracker = ProviderStatusTracker()

    override val status: OpenFeatureStatus get() = statusTracker.status
    override fun observe(): Flow<OpenFeatureProviderEvents> = statusTracker.observe()

    override suspend fun initialize(initialContext: EvaluationContext?) {
        connect(initialContext)
        statusTracker.send(OpenFeatureProviderEvents.ProviderReady())
    }

    override suspend fun onContextSet(
        oldContext: EvaluationContext?,
        newContext: EvaluationContext
    ) = statusTracker.reconciling { refresh(newContext) }

    override fun shutdown() = statusTracker.reset()

    fun onConnectionLost() = statusTracker.send(OpenFeatureProviderEvents.ProviderStale())
}

Application code is unchanged:

OpenFeatureAPI.setProviderAndWait(MyProvider())
OpenFeatureAPI.getStatus()                           // now reads the provider
OpenFeatureAPI.statusFlow.collect { … }              // still available, now derived
OpenFeatureAPI.observe<OpenFeatureProviderEvents>()  // still available

Testing

./gradlew clean check green on macOS across jvm, android debug + release, iosSimulatorArm64, js/node and js/browser.

• ProviderStatusTrackerTests — 22 tests over the event/status table, the replay contract (nothing replayed while not-ready, replayed once otherwise, per-subscriber, delivered before live events with no gap or duplicate, stateless events delivered but never replayed), status current by the time a subscriber sees the event, and the coalescing.
• ProviderStatusTrackerConcurrencyTest, JVM-only since JS and native are single-threaded — four tests racing subscribe against send over 500 iterations each: strict monotonicity (which forbids both a replay that repeats a live event and any reordering), the replay handing off to the live stream without loss, racing reconciliations never stranding the tracker, and status consistency under concurrent senders.
• Behaviour changes visible in existing tests, each now asserting the new truth: a provider that reconciles without reporting contributes no transition; a ProviderConfigurationChanged no longer clears an error; a double binding fails loudly instead of reporting an error status.
• ProviderLifecycleTests — the spec#365 contract (a PROVIDER_STALE reported during initialize is not overwritten when it returns), a provider that throws without reporting staying NotReady, one that reports and then throws keeping what it reported, a provider superseded before its registration ever ran still being shut down and released, and a same-instance rebind not shutting the provider down.
• MultiProviderTests — a cancelled context set not stranding the aggregate at Reconciling, overlapping context sets reporting Reconciling once and only the last outcome, an error aggregate carrying the triggering child's flagsChanged and eventMetadata, a child failing to initialize not cancelling its siblings, and an aggregate returning to NotReady.

Breaking Changes

• FeatureProvider gains an abstract status, and observe() is no longer defaulted, so every provider must be updated. The migration is four lines: hold a ProviderStatusTracker, delegate status and observe() to it, report an outcome from initialize, and reset it from shutdown. There is no compatibility path — a provider that reports nothing stays NotReady.
• initialize and onContextSet failures are reported by emitting ProviderError, not by throwing; the SDK no longer converts a throw into a status.
• The client no longer short-circuits on NotReady or Fatal; callers see whatever the provider returns or throws.
• OpenFeatureAPIInstance.providersFlow is removed, and observe() is now an unparameterised member with a reified extension alongside it.
• MultiProvider.statusFlow is removed in favour of MultiProvider.status. Strategy gains status(providers), which is defaulted, so existing strategies need no change.
• setProviderAndWait's dispatcher now defaults to the caller's, and setEvaluationContext's dispatcher parameter is removed — a registration's own dispatcher runs its reconciliations so they are ordered against its initialize.
• OpenFeatureStatus.Error/Fatal now define equals/hashCode, comparing by the failure they describe.
• An aggregate MultiProvider status of NOT_READY reaches getStatus() but not observe()/statusFlow: the specification has no PROVIDER_NOT_READY event to carry it. The Swift implementation has the same gap.
• Re-registering a provider that is already registered keeps the dispatcher it was first registered with, because its lifecycle calls have to stay ordered against each other on one dispatcher.
• setProvider no longer waits for the outgoing provider's shutdown; setProviderAndWait and clearProvider do.
• A reconciliation begun while the provider is NOT_READY reports no events at all, where it previously concluded READY on success.

Known gaps, deliberately left

• MultiProvider.updateStatus reuses statusTracker.reset() to mean "the aggregate became not-ready", which also bumps the reconciliation generation and clears its restore point. Correct today, but it couples two concerns; a private "establish status without an event" path would say what is meant.
• For a child event carrying no status, the re-aggregation runs without a trigger, so a configuration change that also moves the aggregate loses flagsChanged/eventMetadata.
• MultiProvider.watchScope is an unsynchronized var touched from initialize and shutdown, so a swap racing a shutdown can leave a watch scope running.
• A child that throws from initialize/onContextSet without emitting a ProviderError leaves no trace: MultiProvider has no logger, where the top-level equivalent logs exactly that case.

Recommended review order

1. events/OpenFeatureProviderEvents.kt — the two new events and the event/status table
2. ProviderStatusTracker.kt — the new component; read observe() closely, the sequence fence is what makes replay atomic
3. FeatureProvider.kt — the contract change
4. OpenFeatureAPIInstance.kt — what was deleted, and how statusFlow is derived
5. OpenFeatureClient.kt — the TOCTOU removal
6. multiprovider/MultiProvider.kt — aggregate status and the precedence divergence
7. NoOpProvider.kt — the smallest complete provider
8. ProviderStatusTrackerTests.kt, jvmTest/ProviderStatusTrackerConcurrencyTest.kt
9. Updated test helpers, then the updated existing tests
10. README.md, docs/multiprovider/README.md

Hey! I've started going through this with some AI-assisted analysis and wanted to share an early observation before getting into specifics.

One question I keep coming back to as I start working through this: is providerMutex intended to serialize only the provider swap, or the lifecycle transition as a whole? It's released before shutdownReplacedProvider(), relay start/initialization, and onContextSet(), so I’d like to understand what guarantees keep those operations ordered against another provider registration or context update.

I'm still working through the PR, so consider this the opening of a conversation rather than a verdict. More to follow.

nicklasl Hey! Thanks for feedback, please check again this PR. I took Swift implementation here open-feature/swift-sdk#114 as a reference, though there are some differences present which I highlighted in PR description.

[nicklasl]

Could the fallback provider preserve the previous PROVIDER_NOT_READY evaluation semantics? With the client guard removed it inherits NoOpProvider’s successful default resolution, so evaluation details against this provider no error while getStatus() is NotReady.

[nicklasl]

We should be careful about logging issues unless there is something that the SDK user can do differently to avoid the problem.
Is this a case where the SDK user did something wrong or just a raise?

[nicklasl]

Could we say "another OpenFeatureAPI instance" here instead of just instance. I was a bit confused :)

[nicklasl]

Let's make it clear in the kDoc that this implementation will drop oldest events if they are slow to process and more than 64.

[nicklasl]

Can we get by without this accessor? I don't think it is required by the spec.

[nicklasl]

If a provider emits more than 64 events before a subscriber gets a chance to process them DROP_OLDEST will silently discards earlier events, potentially including configuration changes. How should we preserve the delivery guarantee in 5.1.2 when a subscriber falls behind?

[nicklasl]

Could reading the live status here make us report transitions out of order? As I understand it, if the provider emits Reconciling → Ready → Stale before we process those events, this produces Reconciling → Stale → Ready → Stale, since the live status is already Stale. I guess we’ll need to derive each update from the event alone to preserve the sequence?
