A final bookkeeping-only write, or status-only write under krm-spec/v1, is already suppressed even when it advances the upstream RV. The former whole-object equality wording promised more than those emissions provide.

Define the visible comparison as projected content excluding metadata.resourceVersion, plus per-connection redaction records. Preserve the existing guarantee immediately after synced and each subsequent delivered update at its corresponding logical stream position. Catching up after upstream changes stop is explanatory, not a prerequisite for the invariant. Delivered RVs belong to delivered revisions and remain valid conditional-write preconditions, with no freshness or downstream resume guarantee.

  • Align spec §§3, 5, 6 and conformance; make the host-owned SSA ownership and omission policy explicit.
  • Consolidate repeated contract prose, update stale proposal status, and shorten priority 1 to an evidence link. Improve the README architecture diagram and add a saving-guide sequence diagram explaining visible convergence with an older write version.
  • Add final-bookkeeping and final-Secret-rotation fixtures; strengthen the final-status fixture. Gateway-generated SSE tests compare held content and redaction records, and assert older RVs for suppressed final writes. Go tests also assert suppression observations and retained delivered objects across all built-in projections.
  • Preserve snapshot completeness, pruning, ordering and per-connection redaction semantics. No runtime code, public API or existing SSE transcript changes.

Validation: task fixtures-check, task test (111 client tests, 2 Vue tests and both Go modules), task lint, and task e2e-wire passed. Relative documentation links/anchors checked; a temporary Go overlay disabling suppression made all three projection tests fail with the unexpected event sequence in 6 seconds total; both changed Mermaid diagrams rendered and visually inspected in Chromium. CI and CodeQL passed on final commit 686b3fa833d5d5f02af8b50baf1188dc7c1db11f, including real-browser and clean Go-consumer checks. CodeRabbit was review-rate-limited; its passing status does not represent a completed review.

PR #31 was confirmed merged at 7477c2d; this branch starts from that main. The conventional fix: title deliberately calls out that suppressed writes retain older RVs in Release Please's generated notes. No handwritten changelog section. Adoption recipes, real-API hardening and watch continuation remain subsequent PRs; no real-cluster validation is claimed here.

…ions

Delivered resourceVersions belong to delivered revisions and remain valid conditional-write preconditions, without freshness or downstream resume guarantees. Final bookkeeping-only and spec-projected status-only changes may be suppressed while visible content converges and held versions remain older. Wire emissions are unchanged.

Walkthrough

The change defines visible-state convergence for projected Kubernetes resources, including suppression of final bookkeeping and status-only writes, delivery of Secret redaction changes, conformance fixtures, gateway and client tests, and documentation for stale conditional saves.

Changes

Convergence contract and evidence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Visible-state convergence rules
spec/v1.md
The protocol defines convergence over projected content excluding metadata.resourceVersion, plus redaction records. It permits suppression of unchanged visible state and preserves redaction revisions as visible changes.

docs/proposals/0004-views-and-bytes.md, docs/proposals/0005-kubernetes-stream-and-save-semantics.md, docs/proposals/0006-stream-and-save-implementation-plan.md
The proposal documents record the adopted convergence definition, suppression behavior, stale-write consequence, and completed implementation-plan priority.
Final-write and redaction fixtures
conformance/README.md, conformance/bodies/*, conformance/fixtures/*
Conformance data covers final bookkeeping-only writes, final status-only writes, and Secret rotations that update redaction revisions.
Gateway and client convergence validation
gateway/stream_test.go, packages/krm-stream/test/convergence.test.ts
Tests verify suppressed final writes, retained older resource versions, converged visible content, and delivered Secret redaction changes.
Save behavior and integration documentation
README.md, docs/adopting.md, docs/saving.md, packages/krm-stream/README.md
Documentation describes one-way projected delivery, local edits, quiet streams, conditional PATCH requests, and stale-version 409 responses.

The implementation is mergeable, but the proposal should tie status suppression to projection choice and the README should accurately scope when browser clients may receive credentials.

Keep the positional guarantee while excluding RV from content equality. Add final Secret rotation evidence and explicit suppression observations, consolidate contract prose, and illustrate the read/edit/save architecture and stale-version behavior.

upstream update when projected content excluding `metadata.resourceVersion`, plus redaction records,
is unchanged. The goal is not merely smaller status events; a consumer that does not render status receives **no event** for status-only churn.

Tie status suppression to the effective projection.

krm-spec/v1 suppresses status-only updates because it ignores status; a consumer's rendering choice does not control the gateway projection. A status-blind consumer can still receive krm-full/v1 and receive status-only events. Name krm-spec/v1 or “a projection that ignores status” here to keep the proposal aligned with the specification.

Proposed wording
- upstream update when projected content excluding `metadata.resourceVersion`, plus redaction records, is unchanged. The goal is not merely smaller status events; a consumer that does not render status receives **no event** for status-only churn.
+ upstream update when projected content excluding `metadata.resourceVersion`, plus redaction records, is unchanged. The goal is not merely smaller status events; a consumer using a projection that ignores status receives **no event** for status-only churn.

Qualify the browser credential guarantee.

README.md says that the browser never receives a Kubernetes credential. However, docs/adopting.md Lines 123-128 and packages/krm-stream/README.md Lines 56-60 document an intentionally token-bearing browser mode. Scope this sentence to the default host-owned cookie flow. Otherwise, the documentation gives users an incorrect security boundary.

Proposed wording
- The browser never receives a Kubernetes credential or a raw API-server URL.
+ In the default host-owned cookie flow, the browser does not receive a Kubernetes credential or a raw API-server URL.

Move the quiet-stream explanation into the saving guide and keep links at adoption entry points. Tighten handoff wording and make suppression regression failures report unexpected events before timeout details, with a shorter test deadline.
