Adapter manifest, versioning and catalog by samerzughul · Pull Request #153 · simplify9/SW-Serverless

samerzughul · 2026-10-08T17:28:00Z

Adds a manifest inside every adapter package, immutable versions with promote/rollback, and a catalog for listing and a future marketplace — all backward compatible with existing hosts, packages and Bitween deployments.

Manifest (`adapter.json`, inside the package)

Marketplace: displayName, summary, description, publisher, license, homepage, repository, icon, tags, categories, releaseNotes.
Running: kinds, runtime, language, entry, lifecycle, protocol range, sdkVersion.
Compatibility: minHostVersion (enforced by the host), minBitweenVersion (enforced by Bitween).
Properties: name, displayName, description, type, required, secret, default, options, group.
Unknown fields from newer tools survive a round trip, nested ones included.

Storage layout

Key	Meaning
`adapters/{id}`	Current package, with the same metadata as before (EntryAssembly, Hash, Lang, Kind, Lifecycle, Sha256, + Version).
`adapters-versions/{id}/{version}`	Immutable versions. Not under `adapters/`: file-system stores can't hold `adapters/{id}` as file and folder, and older hosts list everything under `adapters/`.
`adapters-catalog/{id}.json`	Catalog: current version, every version with its manifest, the icon.

Versions an older installer put at adapters/{id}/{version} are still read.

Host

Reads the manifest after install: its entry wins over metadata (contained in the package); unknown runtime and too-new minHostVersion are refused with clear messages. No manifest → unchanged behaviour.
A pinned ref {id}/{version} resolves to adapters-versions/, then the legacy location.
HostInfo: published assemblies are stamped 1.0.0.0 (the shared workflow versions the package, not the build), so a hand-kept baseline (10.0.2) stands in.

Installer

Builds the manifest from an optional author adapter.json + generated fields; probes classic adapters for their properties (--no-probe to skip).
-v publishes the version and promotes it (--no-promote to only publish); --notes, --published-by.
New commands: promote <id> <version> (also rollback), versions <id>, withdraw <id> <version>.
Writes Hash (= Sha256) so local/gc publishes can be installed.

Backward compatibility (new `SW.Serverless.CompatibilityTests`, runs in PR CI)

An old host (published SimplyWorks.Serverless 10.0.0, separate process) installs and runs what the new installer publishes, through promote and rollback.
Adapters built on the published SDK 10.0.0 (classic and resident) run on the new host.
Packages without a manifest, and old-installer versions, behave as before.
Bitween's old listing rule sees exactly the adapter id — no versions or catalog keys.
Known limit: hosts ≤ 10.0.1 can't run a pinned adapters-versions/ version (only new Bitween pins, and it ships with the new host).

Tests

Runtime 113/113, Installer 85/85, Compatibility 14/14 (Release).

AdapterManifest (adapter.json inside the package): identity, marketplace fields (display name, summary, description, publisher, license, homepage, repository, icon, tags, categories, release notes), how to run it (kinds, runtime, language, entry, lifecycle, protocol range, SDK version), compatibility (min host / min Bitween), and the properties a form asks for. Unknown fields survive a round trip. AdapterCatalogEntry (adapters-catalog/{id}.json, outside adapters/ so older hosts never list it): current version, its manifest, icon, and every published version with its manifest. AdapterCatalogPaths fixes the layout; AdapterCatalogStore reads and writes entries.

After installing, the host reads the manifest when the package carries one: its entry wins over the storage metadata (contained in the package, as metadata's is), a runtime the host cannot launch is refused by name, and compatibility.minHostVersion above this host is refused with both versions. A package without a manifest installs and runs exactly as before. HostInfo.Version: the published assemblies are stamped 1.0.0.0 (the workflow versions the package, not the build), so a hand-kept baseline stands in until the build is stamped.

A file-system-backed store cannot hold adapters/{id} as a file and adapters/{id}/{version} beneath it, and hosts older than versions list every key under adapters/. Immutable versions are therefore written to adapters-versions/{id}/{version}. A pinned ref ({id}/{version}) is read from there, or from adapters/{id}/{version} where an older installer put it; a plain id still reads adapters/{id}.

…he catalog Every publish writes a merged adapter.json into the package: presentation from the author's optional adapter.json, facts (id, version, entry, lifecycle, runtime, SDK version) from the build, properties probed from a classic adapter's expected values unless declared or --no-probe. The manifest is validated and the icon checked before anything is uploaded. -v uploads adapters-versions/{id}/{version} and, unless --no-promote, the same package to adapters/{id} with the full legacy metadata (now including Hash and Version), and records the version in adapters-catalog/{id}.json. Without -v only adapters/{id} is written, as before. New commands: promote (also rollback), versions, withdraw. Nothing new is written under adapters/.

A host on the published SimplyWorks.Serverless 10.0.0 runs what the new installer publishes, through promote and rollback; the current host runs old-style packages and adapters built on the published SDK 10.0.0 (classic and resident); the old Bitween listing rule sees nothing new; unknown manifest and catalog fields round-trip. Run in the PR workflow.

Publisher, protocol range, compatibility and each property keep fields a newer tool wrote, as the manifest and catalog entry already did at the top level.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds adapter manifests, catalog records, immutable version storage, and installer commands for promotion, version listing, and withdrawal.
The host reads manifests, enforces runtime and minimum-host constraints, and resolves pinned references from both new and legacy version paths.
The installer merges and validates author manifests, can probe classic adapter properties, and writes package hash and version metadata.

Risk

risk: high. The change affects package publishing, storage-key resolution, manifest parsing, and adapter installation across old and current hosts.

Security-sensitive areas

Manifest entry paths and runtime constraints affect which package code the host loads.
The installer reads package manifests and probes adapter processes.
Promotion checks package digests when catalog metadata provides an expected digest.

Test coverage impact

Adds installer publishing tests and cross-version compatibility tests. The PR description reports Release results of Runtime 113/113, Installer 85/85, and Compatibility 14/14; these are reported results, not independently verified here.

Operational concerns

Versioned packages use adapters-versions/{id}/{version}; the current package remains at adapters/{id} for older listing behavior.
Hosts at or below 10.0.1 cannot run pinned versions stored under adapters-versions/. Use the legacy version layout when those hosts need pinned installs.
Promotion changes the current package. Withdrawal marks a version in the catalog but does not delete its package.

Walkthrough

The installer now publishes adapter manifests and catalogs, manages versioned packages through CLI commands, and resolves current and pinned packages from new or legacy storage locations. The host applies manifest compatibility checks. New tests cover old-host behavior, SDK compatibility, and legacy package layouts.

Versioned publishing and the catalog work for serialized publishes. However, two publishes of the same adapter running at once can replace an "immutable" version's bytes or lose catalog history. Storage errors can also make the catalog listing look complete when entries are missing. Before merging, add guards against concurrent writes or document that publishes must be serialized.

Review comments at @SW.Serverless.CompatibilityTests/OldHostTests.cs:
- Around line 51-84: Update
An_old_host_runs_the_current_version_and_follows_promote_and_rollback to restore
the shared adapter’s current version to 1.1.0 in a finally block, including when
an assertion or rollback step fails; alternatively, isolate the test with its
own adapter id so it cannot affect other tests.

Review comments at @SW.Serverless.Contract/Catalog/AdapterCatalogStore.cs:
- Around line 53-56: In ListAsync, narrow the catch around reading and
deserializing each catalog entry to handle only JsonException, so storage and
authorization errors propagate instead of silently producing an incomplete
adapter list.

Review comments at @SW.Serverless.Installer/Shared/AdapterRepository.cs:
- Around line 205-239: Make version creation and catalog updates
concurrency-safe in PublishVersionAsync: prevent overwriting an existing version
with a conditional create, and use catalog concurrency checks so simultaneous
publishes, PromoteAsync, and WithdrawAsync cannot lose updates. If
ICloudFilesService cannot support conditional writes, enforce serialization for
operations on the same adapter and document that requirement.

Review comments at @SW.Serverless/Services/AdapterInstaller.cs:
- Around line 263-273: Update RemoteKeyOf and its GetMetadataAsync lookup flow
to try the version key directly, falling back to the legacy key only when the
version-key lookup reports not-found. Remove the ListAsync existence check so
pinned metadata lookups avoid the extra list call, while allowing other lookup
failures to propagate.
