feat(platform)!: required document fields via contract updates (requiredSince)

[QuantumExplorer]

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Contract owners cannot add new required fields to an existing document type: the required set is frozen in both directions by the PV14 compatibility rules, for a structural reason — requiredness is baked into the document wire format (required properties serialize raw, optional ones carry a presence flag), so changing it desynchronizes every stored document's bytes from the schema used to read them.

This PR makes it possible. A contract update may add a new required property by annotating it with requiredSince equal to the contract version the update creates:

"properties": {
  "newField": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 63, "position": 4, "requiredSince": 3 }
},
"required": ["existingField", "newField"]

Documents are stamped with the contract version their bytes conform to (serialization format 3). Deserialization resolves each property's layout by comparing its requiredSince against the stamp — so the latest contract alone reconstructs every stamp's byte layout. No historical contract lookups are needed anywhere: contract history stays opt-in, and proof verifiers and SDK context providers keep resolving contracts by id at the current version.

What was done?

• Schema layer: requiredSince property keyword admitted by meta-schema v3 (PV14-only, editable per its header comment), parsed onto DocumentProperty.required_since behind a new apply_required_since version slot — None on pre-v14 tables so frozen parsers stay byte-identical (the refersTo / apply_property_reference pattern). Parse rules: top-level properties only, must be listed in required, value ≥ 1.
• Wire format 3 (serialize_v3 / from_bytes_v3): a contract-version stamp varint after the format prefix; everything else identical to format 2. A property whose requiredSince exceeds the stamp keeps the presence-flagged layout it was written with. New DOCUMENT_VERSIONS_V4 table (default 3) wired into v14.rs only; read dispatch stays purely prefix-driven, so formats 0–2 deserialize exactly as before.
• Legacy formats 0–2 now read and write user properties with required_at(None): byte-identical for every schema without annotations (i.e. all data that exists on any network), and it keeps old-format bytes readable under a schema that later gained a required field — the key migration path.
• DocumentV0 gains contract_version: Option<u32> so the stamp rides through read-modify-write. Transfers and purchases re-serialize the fetched document without touching it, so grandfathered documents stay transferable; replace re-supplies full content and re-stamps (lazy migration). Drive assigns the stamp at create/replace beside the other protocol-assigned fields (creator_id precedent); assignment is gated on format 3 being active so pre-v14 replay builds identical in-memory state.
• Update validation: validate_update v1 strips top-level required from the JSON-schema diff (the same pattern it already uses for indices) and judges it in dedicated name-keyed Rust: additions allowed only for brand-new properties carrying requiredSince == old version + 1; removals, promotions of existing properties, system fields, and retroactive values rejected with a new consensus error DataContractInvalidRequiredFieldsUpdateError (code 10276, appended at the BasicError tail). The compatibility differ gets a frozen requiredSince rule so tampering with the annotation on an existing property is a clean consensus error rather than an unsupported-keyword hard error (which is chain-halt-shaped). The contract-level orchestration (feeding the new contract version into per-type validation and checking requiredSince on document types introduced by the update, which have no old counterpart for the per-type pass to see) is its own generation 1 of DataContract::validate_update, selected only by the PV14 contract table — generation 0 stays byte-identical.
• Contract creation rejects requiredSince other than 1 via a new basic_structure v2 for the create transition (v1 shipped at PV13, so it gets a new generation; slot bumped in the PV14 table only) — requiredness changes must arrive with the update that creates the version they name, never pre-scheduled.
• Bonus: the stamp doubles as a staleness signal — a document stamped above a client's cached contract version is an explicit "refetch the contract" trigger, which stale clients previously had no way to detect.

How Has This Been Tested?

• New wire-format tests: round-trips with stamps at, below, and above a property's requiredSince; unstamped documents; a format-2 document serialized under the pre-update schema staying readable under the post-update schema; missing-required-at-stamp rejection; layout divergence between stamps.
• New update-validation tests: accept add-required-with-correct-requiredSince; reject retroactive, missing, and mutated annotations; reject promotion of existing properties and removal of required fields.
• New parse tests: keyword parsing, optional/nested/zero rejections, and pre-v14 platform versions ignoring the keyword entirely.
• End-to-end grandfathering flow through real state-transition processing: contract update adds a required requiredSince property; pre-update documents stay stamped 1, transfer with the stamp preserved, and delete; creates/replaces omitting the property are consensus-rejected while ones carrying it are stamped 2 (replace = lazy migration). A second test crosses the v13→v14 upgrade boundary: a format-2 document written at v13 transfers at v14 unstamped and is re-stamped by replace.
• Multi-block strategy test: a scheduled mid-run contract update adds the required property while random inserts fire every block, with per-block proof verification — pre-update documents survive as grandfathered stamp-1 rows, post-update inserts from the stale schema are rejected with the expected code each block. (The verify harness now tolerates a same-block update making its post-block action rebuild carry a newer stamp than stored — that direction only.)
• Wire-format matrix extended: requiredSince annotations on every distinct byte layout (variable/fixed byte arrays, identifier, integers, float, bool, nested object) at two annotation versions, round-tripped at every stamp position, with the presence-flag layout proven to differ by exactly one byte per annotated property.
• New create/replace action-conversion regression tests through the version-dispatched entry points: PV13 (generation 0) leaves contract_version unset, PV14 (generation 1) stamps the fetched contract's version, for both borrowed and owned paths (fixture contract version bumped to 7 so a hardcoded stamp can't pass by accident).
• Full suites (after merging current v4.2-dev): dpp (lib) 3,940 tests pass, drive (lib) 3,398 pass, json-schema-compatibility-validator passes, cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean, clippy clean on changed crates, cargo fmt --all applied.

Known follow-ups (deliberately not in this PR): SDK/WASM surfacing of the stamp; nested-object requiredSince; optional→required promotion; a pure-move split of document/v0/serialize.rs into per-format files (deferred so this PR's inline diffs of the legacy formats stay reviewable). Indexing a newly added field remains out of scope (index additions on update are still banned — no backfill).

Breaking Changes

Consensus-breaking, gated at protocol v14 (unreleased, v4.2-dev only): new document serialization format 3 with the contract-version stamp, new requiredSince schema keyword, relaxed required-set update validation, new consensus error, and the create-transition basic_structure v2. Formats 0–2 and all pre-v14 validation behavior are byte-for-byte unchanged for replay.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 72278

This PR enables required fields to be added through contract updates, but the creation-time validation can silently accept an invalid requiredSince value instead of rejecting it. That could admit contracts that violate the intended versioning rules, so merge should wait for a fix or explicit owner acceptance.

Add a test for a requiredSince value above u32::MAX.

apply_required_since_v0 converts with to_integer::<u32>() and maps a failure to ValueWrongType. The meta-schema caps the value at 4294967295, so the two limits agree today. A test pinning the parser-side rejection would keep the parser independent from meta-schema coverage, in the same way should_reject_required_since_of_zero pins the lower bound.

Consider a create-specific error name.

DataContractInvalidRequiredFieldsUpdateError names an update, but it is returned here for a create transition. Consensus error codes are wire-visible and hard to change after the hard fork. The message text does explain the create case, so this is a naming choice rather than a defect. Confirm that reusing the update error code for creates is intended.

Add unit tests for this validator.

This module gates contract creation at a hard fork and has no tests. The matching update-side logic in packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/methods/validate_update/v1/mod.rs carries a full test module. Cover at least: requiredSince: 1 accepted, requiredSince: 2 rejected with the expected error, a schema with no properties key skipped, and a document type with several property types.

I can generate the test module. Do you want me to?

Preliminary review — Codex only

The required-field compatibility design is coherent overall, but three consensus-critical gaps remain: format-3 storage estimation omits the new stamp, creation validation can be bypassed through resolved schema references, and create/replace action behavior was changed in existing v0 implementations rather than through new versioned generations. These issues affect fee estimation, the requiredSince creation invariant, and replay-safe version dispatch, so changes are required before merge.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

  Format 3 adds a contract-version varint to every newly serialized document, but PV14 still dispatches `estimated_size` to generation 0, whose model is unchanged from format 2. Drive passes this estimate into stateless GroveDB targets and estimated layer information, while stateful execution serializes the additional one-to-five stamp bytes. This makes the PV14 fee/cost model systematically smaller than the values written by the corresponding execution path. Add a new `estimated_size` generation that includes format 3's added overhead and select it from the PV14 contract-version table, leaving generation 0 unchanged for earlier protocol versions.

A required property can instead contain `$ref`, with its resolved definition carrying `requiredSince: 2`; `try_from_schema` resolves that reference before applying `requiredSince`, so the parsed `DocumentProperty` receives `Some(2)`, while this validator sees only `$ref` and accepts the version-1 contract. That permits creation-time pre-scheduling despite the invariant this v2 validator is intended to enforce. Validate the already-resolved document properties, or resolve references here through the same resolver used by the parser, and cover a top-level required property backed by `$defs` in a creation test.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive/src/state_transition_action/batch/batched_transition/document_transition/document_create_transition_action/v0/mod.rs:167-182: Introduce a new action generation instead of changing v0 in place
  This changes the existing v0 document-construction implementation to assign the contract-version stamp, while the Drive state-transition table still selects conversion generation 0 for document creation. The same in-place change appears in `document_replace_transition_action/v0/mod.rs`, with replacement also remaining on generation 0. Consensus-critical generations must remain immutable; gating new behavior inside v0 through the DPP serialization slot couples two independently versioned methods and bypasses the Drive dispatch boundary. Move the create and replace stamping behavior into new conversion generations, add the corresponding dispatcher arms, and select those generations only from PV14 while retaining generation 0 for prior protocol versions.

Preliminary review — Codex only

One consensus-critical versioning issue remains: PV14-specific data-contract update validation was added directly to the existing generation-0 implementation. The new create/replace action generations are correctly dispatched for PV14, but their stamp behavior still lacks focused regression coverage.
Source: reviewer backend model gpt-5.6-sol; final verifier backend model gpt-5.6-sol. openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol is orchestration-only and not reviewer evidence.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/methods/validate_update/v0/mod.rs:112-157: Version the contract-level requiredSince update validation
  PV14-specific consensus behavior was added directly to `DataContract::validate_update_v0`: it now passes the new contract version into document-type validation and separately rejects invalid `requiredSince` annotations on newly added document types. The outer `DataContract::validate_update` dispatcher still recognizes only generation 0, and `CONTRACT_VERSIONS_V6.methods.validate_update` remains 0. Earlier platform versions currently avoid the new rejection because their parser does not populate `required_since`, but that makes the behavior of an already-shipped generation depend on a separately versioned parser. Preserve `validate_update_v0` unchanged, move the new orchestration into `validate_update_v1`, add the dispatcher arm, and select generation 1 only in the PV14 contract table.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/state_transition_action/batch/batched_transition/document_transition/document_create_transition_action/v1/mod.rs:47-68: Cover the new create and replace action generations
  The generation-1 create and replace conversions implement the platform-assigned contract-version stamp, but neither module has tests asserting its behavior. The serialization tests manually construct stamped documents and therefore cannot detect a wrong Drive version-table selection, an incorrect fetched contract version, or a missing stamp in one conversion path. Add regression tests showing that PV13/generation 0 leaves `contract_version` unset and PV14/generation 1 assigns the fetched contract version for both borrowed and owned create and replace conversions.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The contract-level version dispatch and create/replace stamping coverage from the prior review are fixed. One consensus-critical error-classification issue remains: an invalid contract-supplied requiredSince value can escape as an execution error instead of producing a consensus-invalid result and the required nonce-bump action.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/v1/serialization/mod.rs:103-107: Convert the contract-version invariant failure into a consensus error
  This invariant validates untrusted schema data, but its `DataContractError` is unconditionally converted to `ProtocolError::DataContractError`. Under Drive-ABCI's `abci` DPP feature, comparable schema-parser failures use `consensus_or_protocol_data_contract_error`, producing `ProtocolError::ConsensusError`. The create and update transformers only convert that consensus variant into `BumpIdentityNonceAction` or `BumpIdentityDataContractNonceAction`; other protocol errors abort transition processing. A version-1 create can reach this path by placing `requiredSince: 2` in a `$defs` schema referenced by a top-level required property: the raw basic-structure scanner cannot see the annotation, but reference resolution populates it before this check. Updates with `requiredSince` above the submitted contract version fail here before dedicated update validation can return code 10276. Convert this failure through the validation-aware consensus path at all four V0/V1 serialization call sites, preferably retaining `DataContractInvalidRequiredFieldsUpdateError`, and add create/update transformer tests that assert the consensus error and nonce-bump action.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The requiredSince implementation is consistently version-gated, preserves legacy document layouts, and has no remaining actionable defects at the exact head. The prior consensus-error classification issue is fixed at all four V0/V1 conversion sites, and the create/update nonce-bump regression tests pass.

Validated zero-blocker Codex/Sol precheck evidence was promoted to final because Phase 2 (Sonnet/Opus) is temporarily disabled. This is Codex/Sol-only final validation, not Codex + Sonnet/Opus coverage.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

At exact head ccb60da, the supplied Codex lanes report no actionable defects, and independent verification found no in-scope blocking issues, suggestions, or nitpicks. The only substantive CodeRabbit suggestion is inapplicable: top-level document schemas cannot produce DocumentPropertyType::Date, because try_from_value_map dispatches on JSON Schema type and has no date or format-based arm; date-time values therefore use an already-covered integer path.
