+description: Regenerate src/saas_sdk/_gen from the accounts proto in module-saas-starter — running scripts/generate.sh, the option-stripping step that keeps shared descriptors out of the global pool, and the SOURCE.txt record. Use when the accounts proto changed, when a new message or proto file has to be exposed, or when a review asks why _gen looks different from a plain buf generate.
+---
+
+# Regenerating the protobuf bindings
+
+`src/saas_sdk/_gen` is generated, never hand-edited. An edit there is silently
+reverted by the next regeneration and is not a fix.
+
+## Source of truth
+
+The protos live in `module-saas-starter` at
+`module/services/accounts/proto`. Two files are exposed by this SDK:
+`saas/accounts/v1/datasource.proto` and `saas/accounts/v1/work_contexts.proto`
+(the list is `protos=()` in `scripts/generate.sh`).
+
+The commit those bindings came from is recorded in `SOURCE.txt`. Read it before
+regenerating: if the proto change you need is not yet merged in
+`module-saas-starter`, that merge is the first pull request, not a local
+checkout regenerated against an unmerged branch.
+
+## The walk
+
+From a checkout of `module-saas-starter`:
+
+```bash
+scripts/generate.sh <module-saas-starter>/module/services/accounts/proto
+```
+
+Requires `buf` and a `python3` with the `protobuf` package importable (the
+script calls `scripts/strip_options.py` with plain `python3`, not the project
+venv — activate the venv if the system interpreter lacks `protobuf`).
+
+Then, in the same pull request:
+
+1. Update `SOURCE.txt` — the `module-saas-starter` commit SHA, and the module
+   version if it moved. That version is also this SDK's release version in
+   `pyproject.toml`; the two are matched on purpose.
+2. Run the suite: `python -m pytest -q`.
+3. If a new proto file is exposed, add it to `protos=()` in
+   `scripts/generate.sh`, to the service list in `SOURCE.txt`, and to the
+   package description in `README.md`.
+
+## Why generation is not plain `buf generate`
+
+The script builds a descriptor image, then `scripts/strip_options.py` removes
+the custom options (`buf.validate`, `saas.policy`) and the `google.api` HTTP
+annotations together with their shared-proto dependencies, and only then
+generates. Without that step the bindings embed shared descriptors and register
+them into the **global descriptor pool**, where they collide at import time with
+any sibling saas SDK that did the same. The well-known `google.protobuf` types
+are deliberately left as runtime types.
+
+Message bindings only: `buf.gen.yaml` generates no client or server stubs,
+because the solution runtime owns the Connect transport and this SDK calls
+through `Gateway.unary`. Do not add a grpc plugin to get a stub — if a consumer
+needs a call this SDK does not expose, the facade
+(`src/saas_sdk/datasource.py`) grows a method that names the procedure.
+
+## Version floors
+
+`buf.gen.yaml` pins both plugins to `v29.3`, which is the gencode line matching
+the `protobuf>=5.29.3` floor in `pyproject.toml`. Bumping the plugin without the
+floor produces bindings that fail to import for consumers on protobuf 5.x;
+bumping the floor without the plugin is an unmotivated break of the same
+consumers. They move in one change or not at all.

+name: wire-format-parity
+description: Change anything covered by a fixture shared byte-for-byte with saas-sdk-go — the Work Context token encoding (tests/fixtures/work_context_wire_golden.json) or the authorization-revision projection (tests/fixtures/authorization_revision_projection.json). Use when a golden test fails, when a claim, scope or payload field is added or renamed, or before editing either fixture for any reason.
+---
+
+# Changing something the Go SDK also implements
+
+Two fixtures in `tests/fixtures/` are byte-identical to files in
+[`saas-sdk-go`](https://github.com/codefly-dev/saas-sdk-go), and CI in both
+repos asserts against the same bytes:
+
+| here | there |
+| --- | --- |
+| `work_context_wire_golden.json` | `TestWorkContextWireGolden` |
+| `authorization_revision_projection.json` | `authorizationrevision/testdata/projection.json` |
+
+They exist so the two implementations cannot drift without a test going red.
+That makes a red golden test **informative**, not an obstacle.
+
+## If a golden test fails
+
+Do not touch the fixture first. The failure means this implementation no longer
+produces (or accepts) the bytes the Go one does, and exactly one of the two is
+wrong.
+
+1. Find which side moved. `git log -- tests/fixtures/` and the recent diff in
+   `src/saas_sdk/work_context.py` usually answer it in one read.
+2. If this SDK moved, fix the code here. The encoding is pinned in detail —
+   field order, `uint64` carried as a decimal *string*, scope canonicalization,
+   base64url without padding, `key_id` *inside* the payload rather than in a
+   header. The token is **not** a JWT; do not reach for a JWT library to
+   "normalise" it.
+3. If the Go SDK moved, the fix belongs there, and this is a cross-repo change:
+   one pull request in each repo, each naming the other, landing together.
+
+Editing the fixture so the local suite goes green, without the matching change
+in `saas-sdk-go`, is a hack in the sense the root `AGENTS.md` means: it removes
+the only signal that the two implementations disagree, and the disagreement
+survives in production, where one side mints what the other rejects.
+
+## Adding a field to the wire format
+
+The payload is closed: `_reject_unknown` in `src/saas_sdk/work_context.py`
+rejects any key the verifier does not know, so a field added on the Go side and
+not here is not ignored — it is a hard verification failure for every token that
+carries it. Sequence it deliberately: verifier support ships and is deployed
+before anything mints the new field.
+
+A new field needs, in the same change: parsing in `_unmarshal`, structural
+validation in `_validate_work_context` (including the proto's `min_len`
+constraints for optional fields), the mint side if a caller sets it, and the
+regenerated `work_contexts_pb2` if it is new in the proto (see
+`regenerate-bindings`).
+
+## Regenerating a fixture
+
+Only after the Go side is agreed. Copy the file from `saas-sdk-go` verbatim
+rather than re-emitting it here — the point of the fixture is that the bytes
+came from the other implementation. Then run `python -m pytest -q` and confirm
+the golden test verifies the copied token against the copied public key;
+`test_wire_golden_payload_matches_fixture_claims_field_by_field` checks the
+decoded payload field by field, so a fixture that merely parses still fails if a
+claim changed meaning.
+
+Say in the pull request body which Go commit the fixture was taken from, and
+whether the paired Go pull request has landed.

+# saas-sdk-python — agent instructions
+
+This repo is the **Python SDK for the saas accounts API**, the twin of
+[`saas-sdk-go`](https://github.com/codefly-dev/saas-sdk-go): a versioned,
+published client that solutions depend on instead of regenerating their own
+bindings. `README.md` documents the SDK for the people consuming it; this file
+is how to work *in* the repo.
+
+## What this repo owns — and does not
+
+- **Owns:** the generated message bindings (`saas_sdk._gen`); the gateway-bound
+  `datasource` facade; the consumer-side halves of Work Context — the mint
+  client and the verifier (`saas_sdk.work_context`); the current-revision client
+  (`saas_sdk.authorization_revision`).
+- **Does not own:** the protos, which live in `module-saas-starter`
+  (`module/services/accounts/proto`); the Connect transport, which the solution
+  runtime owns behind `Gateway.unary`; the Work Context *signer*, which stays
+  authority-side in `sdk-go`; the wire format, which is pinned to `sdk-go`.
+- **Never hand-edit `src/saas_sdk/_gen/`.** It is regenerated from a proto ref
+  recorded in `SOURCE.txt` — see the `regenerate-bindings` skill.
+- Everything ships under the single top-level package `saas_sdk`, so installing
+  it never claims a generic name in a consumer's import namespace. A new module
+  goes inside that package, never beside it.
+- The runtime takes **no** dependency on this SDK. If a change here would
+  require one, the change is in the wrong repo.
+
+## Build and test
+
+Transcribed from `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, which runs the matrix Python
+**3.10** and **3.12** on every pull request:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install -e ".[test,revision-connect,revision-grpc]"
+python -m pytest -q
+```
+
+Both networking extras are installed deliberately. `revision-connect` (httpx)
+and `revision-grpc` (grpcio) are optional for consumers but not for the suite:
+the tests import `grpc` and `httpx` at module scope, so a missing extra fails
+collection loudly instead of quietly skipping the transport tests. There are no
+`skipif` markers in `tests/` — keep it that way.
+
+Two floors move together and are not independently adjustable:
+`requires-python = ">=3.10"` in `pyproject.toml`, and `protobuf>=5.29.3`, which
+is the gencode line the bindings are generated with (`buf.gen.yaml` pins the
+plugins to `v29.3`). Raising one without the other makes the published SDK
+uninstallable for consumers still on protobuf 5.x.
+
+## Parity with saas-sdk-go is a cross-repo invariant
+
+Two fixtures are byte-identical to their Go counterparts, and CI in both repos
+verifies the same bytes:
+
+- `tests/fixtures/work_context_wire_golden.json` ↔ sdk-go's
+  `TestWorkContextWireGolden`. The wire format is **not** a JWT; field order,
+  `uint64`-as-decimal-string encoding, scope canonicalization, base64url and
+  Ed25519 signing are pinned byte-for-byte.
+- `tests/fixtures/authorization_revision_projection.json` ↔ the Go SDK's
+  `authorizationrevision/testdata/projection.json`.
+
+Editing a fixture to make a test here pass is not a fix — it is a silent break
+of the other implementation, which will keep minting or verifying the old bytes.
+A wire change is one coordinated pair of pull requests. See the
+`wire-format-parity` skill.
+
+## When something does not work
+
+These are the fleet's rules, not this repo's, and they are stated here because
+an agent reads this file and not the tracker:
+https://github.com/obin-ai/handbook/issues/68.
+
+- **A gap in the tooling is a bug in the tooling** — never a reason to reach
+  around it. Not as a "workaround", not "just this once", not "until the verb
+  lands". A missing capability in `codefly`, `buf` or the generation scripts is
+  an issue against the thing that owns it.
+- **Never hack. Always provide the best fix, even when it spans repos.** The
+  right fix living in `module-saas-starter`, `sdk-go` or the solution runtime is
+  not a reason to work around it here — open the pull request there. When it
+  genuinely cannot be fixed now, the deliverable is a precise issue against the
+  owner plus a stopgap that says in the code and in the pull request body that
+  it is one. Never an unlabelled one.
+- **Classify every change that makes something work**, in the pull request body:
+  a *fix* at the place that owns the behaviour, or a *hack*. A hack does not
+  become a fix by working, by being small, by being local, or by the real fix
+  belonging elsewhere.
+- **Never hardcode what the system resolves.** This SDK exists to be the thing
+  that resolves. `datasource.new(gateway)` routes through the runtime's
+  `Gateway.unary` rather than typing an endpoint; `JWKSVerifier` discovers
+  signing keys through the published JWKS rather than pinning a key; the
+  revision client loads its credential through a caller-supplied async callback
+  rather than reading one out of another component's config. A literal endpoint,
+  token, port or key in this package is a defect, and a test fixture that needs
+  one builds it locally.
+- **Diagnose, do not pattern-match.** "It started working when I set X" is not a
+  diagnosis — set X back and confirm it breaks. Do not trust an error message
+  before checking that it says what it appears to say. Nearly everything in
+  `work_context` raises the one `WorkContextError` type, so the type discriminates
+  nothing and only the message does; and `JWKSVerifier` refreshes at most once per
+  cache generation on an unknown `key_id`, so a token that fails and then passes on
+  a retry has told you about key rotation, not about flakiness.
+- **A silent skip is a failed test.** Nothing here may pass by not running.
+  Never guard a test on an optional extra being importable — install the extra
+  (CI does) so the test runs or the suite fails.
+- **Say what you did not verify.** Unverified is not the same as working. The
+  matrix is 3.10 and 3.12; if you ran one interpreter, or could not exercise a
+  transport, the pull request body says so in as many words.
+
+## Procedures
+
+Step-by-step procedures live in `.claude/skills/`, read only when the task needs
+them rather than carried here:
+
+<!-- skills -->
+- `regenerate-bindings` — regenerating `src/saas_sdk/_gen` from the accounts
+  proto, including the option-stripping step and `SOURCE.txt`.
+- `wire-format-parity` — changing anything covered by a fixture shared
+  byte-for-byte with `saas-sdk-go`.
+<!-- /skills -->
+
+`tests/test_agent_context.py` holds that list to the directories that exist, so
+a renamed or deleted skill cannot leave a pointer here aimed at nothing. It also
+holds this file to its length budget.
+
+Keep this file under ~200 lines. Context an agent needs only in one subtree
+belongs in a nested `AGENTS.md` beside that subtree, and a procedure belongs in
+a skill — never appended here.
