test(ofrep): run the provider conformance suite against flagd's OFREP API by aepfli · Pull Request #414 · open-feature/python-sdk-contrib

aepfli · 2026-08-24T19:18:06Z

Stacked on #411, which is stacked on #409. Base is feat/provider-tck-flagd, so this diff shows
only the new work. Review #409 first — it describes the suite, the adoption API and the capability
vocabulary, and none of that is repeated here.

Part of open-feature/spec#417.

The OFREP provider under the conformance suite, pointed at flagd's OFREP API — the same backend the
flagd adoption uses, so a difference in results is attributable to the provider rather than to the
backend.

What it declares

capabilities={
    Capability.OBJECT,
    Capability.VARIANTS,
    Capability.TARGETING,
    Capability.STANDARD_REASONS,
}

The provider is stateless: it resolves every flag over the wire and has no connection to lose, no
stream to watch and nothing to announce. So @events, @lifecycle, @stale,
@configuration-change and @unavailable are withheld because there is nothing in the provider that
could observe a backend transition. That is the case that motivated splitting @lifecycle out of
@events in the first place: the SDK synthesises PROVIDER_READY for a provider with no state
handling, so a stateless provider declaring @events would have passed the readiness scenario
without demonstrating anything — a no-op provider passes it identically.

No known deviations. The two withholdings below are the interesting part, and each is recorded
with its measurement rather than its reasoning.

`@numeric-coercion`: over OFREP, this capability follows the language's JSON library

Withheld. The tag has three scenarios and a declarer must satisfy all three — the two lossless rows
exist precisely to catch the shortcut of rejecting every float. This provider takes that shortcut:
json.loads yields int for 10 and float for 0.5, and the check admits a value only on an
exact isinstance. Nothing widens or narrows. So the lossy row passes — float-flag as an Integer is
a TYPE_MISMATCH, not a silent 0 — and integer-flag as a Float fails, because 10 is not an
instance of float.

Java's OFREP adoption withholds it for the identical reason (Jackson, exact type.isInstance). Go
declares it, and the difference is encoding/json rather than anything a provider author chose:
every JSON number becomes a float64, so integer-ness never survives the wire and ResolveInt has to
round-trip through int64 — which gives lossless coercion and a TYPE_MISMATCH on loss for free.

No deviation entry accompanies it: a deviation records a gap in behaviour the provider is required
to have, and Appendix F stopped presenting the coercion rule as normative OpenFeature. This provider
never attempts coercion at all, which is the case the appendix reserves withholding for.

`@disabled-flags`: the appendix's own rationale does not survive contact, and the gap is one `.get`

Withheld, and the reason contradicts what the appendix predicts. It gates the tag on the reasoning
that a provider "whose backend decides, such as one speaking OFREP, cannot: the server never sees the
caller's default, so it has no way to return it".

Neither half of that is the obstacle. flagd's OFREP endpoint answers a disabled flag with 200 and
{"key":…,"reason":"DISABLED"} — no value, exactly as the appendix says — and this provider already
reads data.get("value", default_value) and substitutes the caller's default. What fails is the very
next line, which indexes data["variant"] unconditionally. flagd omits the member, types.md types
the field optional, and the resolution raises KeyError, which the SDK reports as GENERAL. The
whole of the difference between passing and failing these four rows is one .get — and it is not
confined to disabled flags: the same index breaks on any OFREP response that omits the variant, which
being optional permits for any reason. Filed as
#418.

This is the one declaration in these suites the corrected appendix says should change, and it is
flagged rather than quietly left. Since spec 045950ca, a provider that attempts the behaviour and
gets it wrong should declare the tag, let the scenarios fail, and record a deviation. This provider
does attempt it. It is left in the withheld shape only because the pass that found it was a
documentation pass and changing it moves a count — it should be corrected before merge, and the
measurement to do it with is recorded: declaring the tag moves the same four rows from skipped to
failed, each on error-code was 'GENERAL', expected none.

Running it, and the tally

poe test-tck

65 scenarios: 45 pass, 17 skip, 2 fail, 1 xfail. The two failures are the large-integer-flag
fixture gap — flagd-testbed v3.8.0 seeds neither large-integer-flag nor integral-float-flag, so
the mandatory precision scenario and the max-int32 @variants row both fail with the flag missing.
flagd-testbed#392 fixes both. Neither gets a
deviation entry: the gap is in the backend's flag set.

The xfail is python-sdk#619 — a boolean
satisfies an Integer request, because bool subclasses int — marked strict=True so it stays
visible in the report and fails the moment it starts passing, which forces the marker's removal when a
release carries the fix. It matches on the test's parameter id, which carries no module component, so
the rename in this stack could not reach it; verified by the marker still firing with its reason
attached after the move.

The control

settled_control.py exists because a stateless provider exposed a race the flagd adoption could not.
With no initialisation to hide behind, a scenario can issue its first evaluation the instant
POST /start returns — before the seeded flag state is being served. That is now fixed normatively in
the specification (/start must not return until the seeded state is being served), and this control
settles explicitly so the suite does not depend on every backend having adopted that wording yet.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds OFREP provider TCK dependencies, a session-scoped flagd testbed, readiness-aware scenario control, capability declarations, shared BDD scenario registration, and one strict expected-failure marker.

Changes

OFREP TCK integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Testbed lifecycle and dependencies `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/pyproject.toml`, `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/tests/tck/testbed.py`	The development environment adds the provider TCK, pytest-bdd, and testcontainers. The testbed starts flagd with Docker Compose, waits for `/readyz`, and exposes mapped OFREP and launchpad URLs.
Scenario reseeding and readiness control `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/tests/tck/settled_control.py`, `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/tests/tck/conftest.py`	`SettledControl` delegates scenario changes to `HttpControl` and polls the OFREP probe flag until the backend responds successfully. Session fixtures create the testbed and control.
Capability declaration and scenario registration `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/tests/tck/test_ofrep_conformance.py`, `providers/openfeature-provider-ofrep/tests/tck/conftest.py`	The suite configures `OFREPProvider`, declares `OBJECT` and `STRICT_NUMERIC_TYPING`, registers shared BDD scenarios, and marks one untyped numeric mismatch as a strict expected failure.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30b34

A failed testbed startup can leave Docker containers and temporary flag data behind, which may interfere with later tests or consume local/CI resources. This bounded cleanup issue should be fixed before merging.

Clean up testbed resources on every startup path.

Line 168 calls testbed.start() before the try block. If DockerCompose.start() starts containers and _await_ready() then fails, testbed.stop() does not run. Line 107 also creates _flags_dir, but stop() never removes it.

Put startup inside the try block. Remove _flags_dir in a finally block in stop().

@lifecycle

… API Adopts the OpenFeature provider conformance suite in the OFREP provider. No new infrastructure. flagd serves the OFREP API on port 8016 alongside its own protocols, and flagd-testbed's compose file already publishes it, so the OFREP provider runs against the existing testbed, seeded with the same canonical flag set, driven through the same launchpad control API as the flagd suites. Running two providers against one backend is the point of a cross-provider conformance suite: a difference in the results is a difference an application would see when it switches provider. tests/e2e/flagd_container.FlagdContainer would have been the natural thing to reuse and is not importable here -- a package's tests are not part of its distribution -- so tests/tck/testbed.py drives compose directly. What it duplicates is deliberately minimal: compose up, read two mapped ports, poll /readyz. This is a concrete instance of the "no shared containerised-backend helper" gap the TCK's README records. Two capabilities, both on the strength of a line of provider code rather than of a green run: OBJECT and STRICT_NUMERIC_TYPING. The same two the Go and Java OFREP adoptions reached independently, from the same architecture. Every omission is a fact about the provider. OFREPProvider is stateless -- it holds a requests.Session and a rate-limit timestamp, and nothing else survives between evaluations. It does not override initialize, so it inherits AbstractProvider's, which is `pass`, and it never emits: `_on_emit` is not called anywhere in the provider. So EVENTS, STALE and CONFIGURATION_CHANGE have nothing behind them, and UNAVAILABLE_INIT is false in the strong sense -- a provider pointed at a closed port reaches READY, because the SDK's registry dispatches PROVIDER_READY around an initialize that does nothing. events.feature and lifecycle.feature are gated at feature level and skip with their reasons; 24 of the 29 scenarios run. @lifecycle, which lands on the TCK branch this is stacked under, would also be withheld once it is available here: nothing contacts the backend before the first evaluation, so initialisation has no outcome to observe. That capability was split out of EVENTS precisely so a stateless provider can decline it accurately, and this is the case it was split out for. One scenario is marked xfail(strict=True): boolean-flag requested as an Integer. OFREP is untyped on the wire -- the request carries no type and the backend returns the JSON value regardless -- so the whole type check is the provider's, and it is isinstance(value, int), which bool is a subclass of in Python. The value True comes back with reason STATIC and no error code where the specification requires the code default and TYPE_MISMATCH. The SDK client type-checks the same way, so this is the provider-side half of open-feature/python-sdk#619 and fixing one half is not enough. Strict, so the marker fails the suite once it starts passing rather than lingering as a lie. Recorded as a finding: POST /start returns before the backend serves the flag set. The control API specifies that /start reseeds flag state; it does not specify that it returns only once that state is being served, and flagd-testbed's launchpad returns as soon as flagd answers /readyz, which is roughly 40ms before its file sources are in the flag store. The flagd suites never see this because both resolvers block inside initialize until the stream is up or the ruleset has synced, absorbing the window. A stateless provider is the first adopter with no initialisation to hide a backend's warm-up behind, and its first evaluation lands squarely in the gap -- reported, before the fix, as FLAG_NOT_FOUND on every flag. SettledControl closes it by delegating to HttpControl and then polling the public OFREP endpoint until the flag set is actually served. It manipulates nothing and weakens no scenario, but "reseeded" and "serving" should be the same instant in the control API contract, and until they are this belongs in the adoption. 23 passed, 5 skipped, 1 xfailed.

The capability was renamed on the base branch, so this declaration named a symbol that no longer exists. OFREP keeps declaring it -- the provider satisfies the rule, for the same reason the Go OFREP provider does: OFREP is JSON, JSON has one number type, and the provider checks whether the round trip through an integer is lossy rather than assuming it is not.

@lifecycle

spec@fc99d5ac gates "A provider that was shut down can be initialized again" behind a new @reinitialization tag. This adoption withholds it, and the "Not declared, and why" block now says so rather than leaving the newest capability the only one without an entry. Reuse would in fact work here -- a stateless provider holding only a Session has nothing to release and nothing to rebuild, and `shutdown` is inherited and does nothing -- but the scenario cannot be reached to demonstrate it. It lives in lifecycle.feature, so it inherits @lifecycle at feature level, and the gate skips a scenario when any capability gating it is undeclared. With LIFECYCLE withheld, declaring this would leave the scenario skipped on @lifecycle and the claim unexamined. Requirement 2.5.2 makes reuse permitted rather than required, so withholding needs no KnownDeviation. The LIFECYCLE entry also carried two claims that the restacking has since falsified: that the capability was "not in the Capability enum on this branch yet", and that lifecycle.feature was "gated on @events at feature level on this branch". Both were true when written, above a base that did not yet have the split; this branch now sits above the commit that added it, so the enum has LIFECYCLE and the feature carries @lifecycle. The reason for withholding is unchanged -- `initialize` is inherited and does nothing, so initialisation has no outcome to observe -- and only the description of the surroundings is corrected. Conformance is unchanged at the new pin: 27 passed, 3 failed, 9 skipped, 1 xfailed over the 40 canonical scenarios, the nine skips being three @unavailable, two @events, two @lifecycle, one @large-integers and one @reinitialization. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

@targeting

Declared, the suite run, and the scenarios seen to pass. The numbers: 52 canonical scenario instances, 38 passed, 9 skipped, 1 xfailed, 4 failed. @targeting costs the testbed nothing. This suite's backend is the same flagd testbed the flagd suites use, so targeting-key-flag is already seeded from flags/testing-flags.json by the launchpad's default configuration. All three scenarios pass -- the matching context, the non-matching one, and no context at all -- because ofrep/__init__.py:229-230 puts the evaluation context's targeting key into the request body's `context` object. That is what makes context passthrough observable on a protocol with no echo endpoint: a provider that dropped the context would resolve `miss` where `hit` is expected. Worth noting that the whole of what is verified is that the key reached flagd, since nothing else about the context is keyed on by any canonical flag. @Variants passes seven of its eight rows. The eighth asks for large-integer-flag's max-int32 and fails with the flag missing from the backend -- flagd-testbed v3.8.0 seeds neither large-integer-flag nor huge-integer-flag, which already fails the untagged precision scenario here and does the same in both flagd suites. Withholding the capability over it would say this provider does not name variants, which the other seven rows show is false, and would attribute a missing flag to a capability the provider has. It is not a KnownDeviation either: a deviation is for a behaviour the provider is required to have and does not. The header claiming these declarations rest "on the strength of a line of provider code, not on the strength of a green run" is gone, as it now is in the flagd suites: Appendix F states the opposite rule as of 26362f85. The code references stay, as places a reader can check a claim rather than as the evidence for it. That rule turns up something about a declaration this commit does not otherwise touch, so it is written down rather than left to be discovered. @numeric-coercion is declared here and the run fails two of its three scenarios: the lossy half passes, where rejecting 0.5 is correct, and the two lossless ones do not -- integral-float-flag's 10.0 is a TYPE_MISMATCH where 10 is required, and integer-flag's 10 is one where 10.0 is. That is the shortcut errors.feature warns of, and its comment states that a provider declaring the tag must satisfy all three. The flagd suites reached the same finding at the previous pin and withdrew the tag for it. The same withdrawal is the consistent end of it here, but it changes what this adoption claims rather than how it is worded, so it is left for a deliberate decision and recorded in the note meanwhile. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

… have The tag was declared and two of its three scenarios failed. errors.feature says a declarer must satisfy all three, and says why: the two lossless rows exist to catch the shortcut of rejecting every float. This provider takes that shortcut. json.loads yields `int` for 10 and `float` for 0.5, and the check at ofrep/__init__.py:249-256 admits a value only on an exact isinstance against one of them. Nothing in that path widens or narrows a number. So the lossy row passes -- float-flag asked for as an Integer is a TYPE_MISMATCH rather than a silent 0 -- and integer-flag asked for as a Float fails, because 10 is not an instance of float. That is the same architecture as the Java OFREP adoption, which withholds the tag for the same reason. The Go adoption declares it, and the difference is the JSON decoder rather than a decision either author made: encoding/json makes every JSON number a float64, so integer-ness never survives the wire and ResolveInt has to round-trip through int64 -- which yields lossless coercion, and TYPE_MISMATCH on loss, for free. Over OFREP this capability follows the language's JSON library. No knownDeviation accompanies the withdrawal. A deviation records a gap in behaviour a provider is required to have, and numeric coercion is a declared capability rather than a requirement. The honest record is the undeclared tag and the three skips it produces. Measured before and after, 52 scenarios both times: 4 failed / 38 passed / 9 skipped / 1 xfailed becomes 2 failed / 37 passed / 12 skipped / 1 xfailed. The two remaining failures are both large-integer-flag, which the pinned testbed does not serve (open-feature/flagd-testbed#392). The header also claimed every declared capability had been seen to pass, which was untrue while this tag was declared, and the closing note claimed the withheld set matched Go's as well as Java's. Both corrected. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

New at spec@009afe06 and withheld here, on a measured run: 2 failed, 37 passed, 16 skipped, 1 xfailed -- the same two failures as before the pin moved, with the four new rows skipped carrying their reason. Declaring it instead gives 6 failed, and each of the four fails on the error code rather than on the value. The appendix gates this tag on the reasoning that a provider "whose backend decides, such as one speaking OFREP, cannot: the server never sees the caller's default, so it has no way to return it". Neither half of that is the obstacle, which is why the note records a defect rather than an architecture. Probed at the wire: flagd's OFREP endpoint answers a disabled flag 200 {"key": ..., "reason": "DISABLED", "metadata": {}} -- no value and no variant. The server does never return a value, exactly as the appendix says, and it does not need to: ofrep/__init__.py:153 already reads data.get("value", default_value) and substitutes the caller's default for an absent one, and the type check on the next line passes on it. What fails is line 160, which indexes data["variant"] unconditionally, where flagd omits the member and types.md types the field "variant (string, optional)". The KeyError surfaces as GENERAL. So the whole of the difference between passing and failing these four rows is one .get, and flagd's own RPC resolver satisfies the tag from the same signal in a different envelope. Withheld because a declaration has to rest on a run and the run fails, not because the protocol forbids it. The gap is an unfiled defect in openfeature-provider-ofrep and is not confined to disabled flags: the same index breaks on any OFREP response omitting the variant. No knownDeviation, for the reason the @numeric-coercion note above it gives -- a deviation records a gap in behaviour the provider is required to have, and this is a declared capability rather than a requirement. Also drops the stale half of that note. eebf35a withdrew @numeric-coercion and added the paragraphs saying so, but left the pre-withdrawal sub-block in place underneath them, ending "the tag is declared, the evidence is a run that fails" about a tag no longer in CAPABILITIES. A comment that contradicts the code beside it is worse than no comment; the paragraphs above it already carry everything it said. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

This suite carried the largest hand-rolled container wrapper of the three adoptions -- a 188-line tests/tck/testbed.py, 74 lines of it code -- and it is deleted. The TCK's Compose harness starts the stack, discovers the mapped host ports, builds the HttpControl against the launchpad and waits for it to accept commands; what is left is a Compose file and the port the provider connects to. tests/tck/docker-compose.yaml wraps the same unmodified testbed image the flagd adoption uses, publishing flagd's OFREP port and the launchpad's. It replaces reaching across into the flagd package's `test-harness` submodule for that package's compose file, which was a real coupling and was called out as one: this package's conformance results depended on another package's test-harness checkout, on a compose file that also stands up envoy and bind-mounts a flags directory for reasons belonging to the flagd e2e suites. Two packages now pin the same image tag in two files, which is the cost of each owning its stack, and they are bumped together. Gone with it: the temporary flags directory the bind mount needed, the IMAGE/VERSION/FLAGS_DIR environment substitution, the /readyz poll on port 8014, and the leak fix that was needed because a readiness timeout left containers running -- the harness tears the stack down in a finally of its own. SettledControl stays, and stays a finding rather than a workaround. It is not the post-command settle that was dropped from the harness: that was a fixed 50ms sleep after every control call, and this is a bounded readiness probe over the provider's own public OFREP endpoint, on a canonical flag, asserting only that the backend has finished doing what POST /start already promised. It wraps the harness's control unchanged, so the normative control path is untouched. The window it covers is real at flagd-testbed v3.8.0 -- around 40ms, measured -- and a stateless provider is the first adopter with no initialisation to hide it behind. Measured before and after, twice each: 2 failed, 37 passed, 16 skipped, 1 xfailed, identical to the run before the rewrite, scenario for scenario. The two failures are the documented flags the testbed does not seed. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

… say so Same change as the flagd adoption's, for the same reason: the TCK suite is excluded from `poe test` and `poe cov`, gets a `poe test-tck` of its own, and the README records the policy and the tally -- 2 failed, 37 passed, 16 skipped, 1 xfailed, where both failures are canonical flags flagd-testbed v3.8.0 does not seed and the xfail is the one genuine provider gap. It had been running in the default build, so this branch's build was red too. SettledControl also needed correcting, and the correction is a reversal of its own premise. It claimed `POST /start` "is not specified to return only once that state is being served". It is, and it already was at the pin this branch carried: control-api.yaml says "MUST NOT return until the seeded flag state is actually being served", and names this very case -- "the reference implementation exhibits this: its /start returns roughly 40ms before flagd's file sources reach the flag store". So this is not a gap in the contract that the adoption fills in; it is a backend that breaks the contract, and flagd-testbed#394 is open and unmerged. That changes what the file is, for the better. Appendix F now states that a suite must not paper over such a backend from the shared harness -- a fixed delay there "buys silence, not correctness" and every future adopter inherits it -- and that the wait belongs in the adoption, "set explicitly and citing the defect, so that it reads as a named workaround for a specific backend and disappears when the backend is fixed". SettledControl is exactly that, so it now says so instead of arguing for itself. It also forwards `control_api` from the control it delegates to, which the base's now-required protocol member makes necessary and which is the honest answer: the normative control path is still the HTTP control API, and this adds a readiness probe over the provider's own public endpoint rather than replacing anything.

…mporting The README and the pyproject comment both carried the reasoning for excluding a conformance suite from the default build, in this package's own words, and the two did not quite agree -- the README made Docker a reason, which it is not. That reasoning is now Appendix F's "Running the suite in CI", so both point at it instead. What stays is what is local: where the exclusion lives, the command a maintainer runs, the current tally with what each failure and the one xfail is, and that Docker does not decide it -- the flagd package's tests/e2e needs Docker too and does run in the default build. Appendix F also asks that an excluded suite keep building even when it does not run. `--ignore` does not import the suite at all, and mypy here is configured over `src`, so nothing checked that. `poe test` and `poe test-cov` now end in a collect-only pass over tests/tck, which imports every test module and resolves the feature files without starting a container -- under a second, 56 tests collected. The two default tasks become sequences, so their commands move to `test-default` and `test-cov-default`. `poe cov`, which is what build.yml runs, is unchanged in name and now covers the collect as well.

@targeting

spec@c342461a moved every resolution-reason assertion into a new gated gherkin/reason.feature, so the reasons are now a claim a provider declares rather than a house rule every adopter is held to. Declare @standard-reasons. Eight of the file's nine scenarios run here and all eight pass: the four rule-less rows as STATIC, an unknown flag and a type mismatch as ERROR beside their error codes, and -- because @targeting is declared -- TARGETING_MATCH for the matched rule and DEFAULT for the miss. The ninth composes with @disabled-flags, which stays withheld, so it is skipped with that reason. The obstacle expected here is not the one that exists, and it was measured rather than reasoned about. ofrep/__init__.py:159 indexes `Reason[data["reason"]]` by name, so a reason outside the SDK's enum raises KeyError -- which made this capability look like the risky one. It is not: every reason reason.feature asserts is an enum member, DISABLED included. Declaring @disabled-flags beside this one and running the ninth scenario shows that index surviving the DISABLED reason and the next keyword argument failing instead -- `variant=data["variant"]` on line 160, KeyError: 'variant', reported to the application as GENERAL. That is the same one-line defect the @disabled-flags note already records, and it is unrelated to the reason vocabulary. The tally moves from 2 failed, 37 passed, 16 skipped, 1 xfailed to 2 failed, 45 passed, 17 skipped, 1 xfailed. The two failures are unchanged -- large-integer-flag is still not seeded by flagd-testbed v3.8.0. Collection moves from 56 to 65. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

@Variants

…hholding is on Appendix F gained a sixth declaring rule and a corrected numeric-coercion note (spec@4cab0320, spec@045950ca). Three of this suite's withholdings are affected and none of them is affected the same way, so each now says which. @numeric-coercion is unchanged and correct. The corrected note says a provider that attempts the coercion and gets a direction wrong declares the tag and lets the scenario fail; this provider never coerces at all, keeps the two JSON types apart end to end, and is the kind the note still says should withhold. Worth stating because the flagd adoption in this repository now reads the opposite way from the same rule, and a reader comparing the two files deserves to know that is the rule working rather than two suites disagreeing. @large-integers had no note at all, which the sixth rule's second consequence makes a defect in its own right: a capability withheld for a backend gap is temporary, and without a note saying why it outlives its reason. Its single scenario asks for huge-integer-flag, flagd-testbed v3.8.0 seeds none, so not one of the tag's scenarios reaches this provider -- the mirror image of @Variants two entries above, where seven of eight rows do and the tag is declared. @disabled-flags is the one decision here the correction says should change, and this commit does not change it, because a documentation pass that moves a count is no longer a documentation pass. The note records the argument in full instead: this provider does attempt the behaviour and fails on one unconditional index, so the appendix's preferred shape is to declare the tag, accept four failing rows and record the defect as an untracked deviation. The self-test carve-out added in the same revision licenses a withholding for an identified defect, but is explicit that an adoption has none. The next change to this file is that one.

…was narrowed spec@aa2ad24f puts a condition on the rule cited here a commit ago: it applies once a provider is attempting the capability, and decides whether a question is askable rather than whether an answer is owed. Applied to this suite that is not a detail, it is the difference between three right answers and one manufactured failure. @numeric-coercion would have been that failure. All three of its scenarios are askable of this provider and two of them fail, so the rule as first written forced a declaration -- of a capability no requirement defines, from a provider that does not coerce by design. It never reaches rule six now. The Go implementation found the over-reach against its own self-tests; this suite would have been the second one. @large-integers does reach it, and the note says why: nothing here declines to resolve a large integer, so attempting is not in doubt and askability is the only question left. The backend seeds no huge-integer-flag, so the answer is withhold. @disabled-flags reaches neither, and the note now says which rule its argument actually turns on -- the two shapes, not rule six. The evidence is that this provider attempts and fails rather than declining: it has no design position on disabled flags, it parses the response flagd sends for one, and it raises KeyError on a member the protocol types as optional. A provider that declined would have nothing in the path that could be right or wrong, which is exactly what the numeric-coercion entry above looks like.

Running the suite to confirm this pass moved nothing found a count that had already moved and not been written down. `poe test-tck` is 2 failed, 45 passed, 17 skipped, 1 xfailed; `pyproject.toml` still said 2 / 37 / 16 / 1, which was true when this suite collected 56 scenarios and stopped being true when reason.feature took it to 65. The README already carried the right figure, so the two disagreed with each other as well as with the run. The @disabled-flags note quoted the same superseded run as its measurement of what declaring the tag would cost. The measurement stands -- all four rows fail, on the error code rather than the value -- so it is kept and dated rather than rewritten, with today's baseline beside it and the arithmetic said plainly: the same four rows move from skipped to failed. Same lesson as the three stale tallies the flagd suite carried a pass ago. A count in prose is a claim, it ages the moment the assets move, and the only thing that finds it is running the suite and comparing. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

`tests/tck` is already a sibling of `tests/e2e` and `poe test-tck` selects it by that path, so `test_ofrep_conformance.py` was saying conformance twice. Only the half that duplicated the directory is dropped; the `test_` prefix stays because pytest needs it. The renamed module's node ids all move, and this branch is the one with a hardcoded node id: the `xfail(strict=True)` for python-sdk#619 in `tests/tck/conftest.py`. It matches on `item.name`, which is the test function plus its parameters and carries no module, so the rename does not reach it -- and the run after confirms it: the scenario still reports XFAIL with its reason, which a strict xfail that stopped matching could not do. Same tally: 2 failed, 45 passed, 17 skipped, 1 xfailed. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

Same pair as the flagd package: poe aborts a sequence at its first failing subtask, so `test-tck-collect` -- the one check that the conformance suite still imports against the harness while `--ignore` keeps it out of the run -- sat behind the default suite's result. It is green here today, which is exactly why this is worth fixing before it is not: a check that only runs while everything else passes is not a check. `ignore_fail = "return_non_zero"`: every subtask runs, a non-zero exit still propagates. The collect step reports the same 65. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>
