Enforce strict typing and remove deprecated fields and fallback mechanisms to improve client correctness and simplify the SDK.


Open in Cursor Open in Web


Note

Medium Risk
This is a breaking-change-style tightening (required params, stricter schemas, and new runtime throws) across core client/auth and ledger schemas, which may break existing integrations that relied on optional fields or permissive defaults.

Overview
The SDK is made strictly typed end-to-end by removing fallback/loose behaviors and requiring callers to provide previously-optional values.

Core client behavior is tightened: BaseClient now throws when apiUrl/partyId are missing (instead of returning empty strings), request helpers consistently use the shared RequestConfig, HttpClient.setRetryConfig now requires a full config object, and OAuth2 config is a discriminated union with stricter runtime validation in AuthenticationManager.

Ledger JSON API types/schemas are aligned to stricter inputs: deprecated filter/verbose fields are removed from active-contracts request shapes, DAR uploads now require a binary Buffer (no base64/string), and AllocateParty enforces required synchronizerId/userId and passes localMetadata without defaulting/patching missing subfields. WebSocket typing is simplified (WebSocketHandlers only accepts Error), generated WS client methods stop casting params/handlers to any, and shared event type guards are centralized/exported for reuse.

…eprecated patterns

- AuthConfig: grantType is now 'client_credentials' | 'password' union; clientId is required;
  grant-type-specific fields (clientSecret, username, password) are enforced by discriminated union
- BaseClient: getApiUrl() and getPartyId() throw ConfigurationError instead of returning empty strings
- ApiOperation.getPartyId(): returns string (not string | undefined) matching BaseClient
- EnvLoader.getConfig/getConfigSummary: accept ApiType instead of plain string
- ScanApiClient: constructor requires config with network (removed 'mainnet' default)
- HttpClient.setRetryConfig: requires full HttpClientRetryConfig (not Partial)
- DarFileSchema: accepts Buffer only (removed string option)
- DurationSchema: removed unknownFields catch-all
- GetActiveContractsRequestSchema: removed deprecated filter/verbose fields; eventFormat is required
- Removed deprecated FilterSchema from common schemas
- fee-parser: removed meta?: unknown from ExerciseResult
- Consolidated duplicate isCreatedTreeEventWrapper into single shared export
- Updated tests to match stricter types

…plification, inline type cleanup

- RequestConfig.contentType: now 'application/json' | 'application/octet-stream' (not arbitrary string)
- WebSocketHandlers: removed ErrorMessage generic parameter (onError always receives Error)
- BaseClient/ScanApiClient: replaced inline type annotations with shared RequestConfig type
- AllocatePartyRequest: removed optional synchronizerId/userId (now required); localMetadata subfields required when provided
- Code generator: removed 'as any' cast from WebSocket subscribe calls

… fallbacks

- GetActiveContracts: removed deprecated filter:undefined from WebSocket request message
- AllocateParty: removed 'old and new API versions' comment; type now requires synchronizerId/userId
- WebSocketErrorUtils: removed unused parseWithFallback (multi-schema fallback approach)
- get-amulets-for-transfer: removed 'shouldn't happen' fallback path for direct amount values

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Tightens core types and request shapes, makes auth configs discriminated, enforces API/config validation in clients, narrows WebSocket handler types and error parsing, removes deprecated ledger filters and string-DAR support, and applies assorted schema, utility, generator, and test updates.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Core types & request shape
src/core/types.ts
Introduced discriminated AuthConfig union (client_credentials
Base client & HTTP layer
src/core/BaseClient.ts, src/core/http/HttpClient.ts
HTTP methods now accept RequestConfig; getApiUrl/getPartyId now throw when missing; HttpClient.setRetryConfig requires full config (no partial merge); API config validated at construction.
Authentication & env loader
src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts, src/core/config/EnvLoader.ts
Explicit grantType branches; formData appends conditioned on grantType; EnvLoader API type typed to ApiType, localnet provider defaulting added.
WebSocket types, error utils & generator
src/core/ws/WebSocketClient.ts, src/core/ws/WebSocketErrorUtils.ts, scripts/generate-all-client-methods.ts
WebSocketHandlers generic reduced to one type; connect signature simplified; removed parseWithFallback; generator no longer emits as any casts for WS subscribe calls.
Scan API client
src/clients/scan-api/ScanApiClient.ts
Constructor now requires config; resolves scanApiUrls (throws if missing); uses RequestConfig in request methods; tightened config/auth/endpoint resolution and defaulting.

PR Review: SDK Strict Typing

Comprehensive review of strict typing improvements and deprecated pattern removal.

Todo List

  • Read repository guidelines and understand codebase structure
  • Analyze core type system changes
  • Review client implementation changes
  • Check authentication and configuration changes
  • Examine utility function updates
  • Assess test coverage implications
  • Provide comprehensive feedback and recommendations

🎯 Summary

This PR successfully enforces strict typing throughout the Canton Node SDK by:

  • Removing deprecated fallback patterns that masked type errors
  • Converting to discriminated unions for better type safety
  • Eliminating dead code and unused type utilities
  • Simplifying client configuration by removing unnecessary optionals

The changes are well-structured and improve code quality while maintaining backward compatibility where needed.

✅ Positive Changes

1. Type System Improvements

  • AuthConfig discriminated union (src/core/types.ts:36-37): Excellent use of discriminated unions on grantType field prevents invalid configuration combinations
  • RequestConfig contentType union (src/core/types.ts:59): Constrains to valid MIME types instead of allowing any string
  • Removed problematic nullable handling in WebSocket schemas that could cause runtime errors

2. Code Simplification

  • ScanApiClient (src/clients/scan-api/ScanApiClient.ts:57-74): Cleaner config object construction using conditional spreading
  • BaseClient constructor (src/core/BaseClient.ts:32-56): Simplified configuration merging logic
  • Authentication validation (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:172-180): Relies on TypeScript type system rather than runtime checks

3. Dead Code Removal

  • Removed entire WebSocketErrorUtils.ts (35 lines) - utilities no longer needed with strict typing
  • Cleaned up test files removing deprecated schema tests
  • Removed unused optional parameters and fallback logic

⚠️ Areas for Attention

1. Potential Breaking Changes

  • Required fields: Some previously optional fields are now required (e.g., synchronizerId, userId in AllocatePartyParams)
  • Config validation: More strict validation may reject previously "working" configurations
  • Error handling: Removed fallback patterns may expose previously hidden configuration issues

2. Runtime Validation Gaps

// In AuthenticationManager.ts:179 - comment suggests TypeScript enforcement
// password grant type fields (username, password) are enforced by the TypeScript type system

Concern: TypeScript types don't exist at runtime. Consider adding runtime validation for critical auth fields.

3. Configuration Robustness

// EnvLoader.ts:89-101 - More prescriptive error messages
throw new ConfigurationError(
  `Missing required environment variables for ${apiType}. ` +
  `Required: CANTON_${network.toUpperCase()}_${providerStr}_${apiType.toUpperCase()}_URI`
);

Good: Detailed error messages help debugging, but ensure all environment variable patterns are documented.

🚀 Performance & Security

Performance

  • Positive: Reduced object creation with conditional spreading
  • Positive: Eliminated unnecessary validation loops and fallback checks
  • Neutral: Type guards are efficient and well-implemented

Security

  • Positive: Stricter input validation reduces attack surface
  • Positive: Discriminated unions prevent invalid auth configuration combinations
  • Consider: Add validation for auth tokens and sensitive configuration values

📊 Test Coverage

Removed Tests Analysis

The removal of 40 lines from test/unit/schemas/common.test.ts appears to be cleanup of deprecated schema tests. However:

  • Verify: Ensure new strict schemas have corresponding test coverage
  • Add: Integration tests for new discriminated union behavior
  • Test: Error paths for strict validation (malformed configs, missing required fields)

🔧 Recommendations

1. Add Runtime Validation

// Consider adding to AuthenticationManager
private validateAuthConfig(): void {
  if (!this.authConfig.clientId) {
    throw new AuthenticationError('Missing required field: clientId');
  }
  if (this.authConfig.grantType === 'password') {
    if (!this.authConfig.username || !this.authConfig.password) {
      throw new AuthenticationError('Username and password required for password grant');
    }
  }
}

2. Documentation Updates

  • Document breaking changes in migration guide
  • Update API documentation reflecting required vs optional fields
  • Add examples for new discriminated union usage

3. Enhanced Error Handling

  • Consider custom error types for different validation failures
  • Add context to schema validation errors
  • Provide migration suggestions in error messages

📋 Final Assessment

Criteria Rating Notes
Code Quality 🟢 Excellent Clean discriminated unions, proper type guards
Type Safety 🟢 Excellent Significant improvement in type correctness
Breaking Changes 🟡 Moderate Well-justified but may affect consumers
Performance 🟢 Good Reduced overhead, efficient validation
Security 🟢 Good Stricter validation, better input handling
Test Coverage 🟡 Needs Review Ensure new patterns are tested

✨ Overall Verdict

Strong approval - This PR significantly improves the SDK's type safety and code quality. The strict typing approach will prevent many runtime errors and improve developer experience. The removal of deprecated patterns is well-executed and the discriminated union approach is a best practice.

Minor concerns around runtime validation and test coverage can be addressed in follow-up work if needed.

The AllocatePartyRequest type now requires synchronizerId and userId fields that extend the generated OpenAPI type. However, there's no validation that the underlying OpenAPI specification actually supports these fields, which could cause runtime errors if the API rejects these required fields.

Verify that the Canton Ledger JSON API v2/parties endpoint actually requires these fields in all supported versions, or add runtime validation/error handling for cases where these fields might not be accepted.

The ScanApiClient constructor now requires a ScanApiClientConfig parameter (changed from optional to required), but the config object itself has required fields network and provider that were previously optional with defaults. This is a breaking change that will cause compilation errors in existing code that instantiates ScanApiClient without providing these required fields.

Since this is a public API change, consider whether these fields should have default values (e.g., network: 'mainnet') or if the breaking change is intentional as part of the strictness improvements.

The localMetadata schema changed from having optional fields (resourceVersion and annotations were .optional()) to required fields. This is a breaking change in the API contract - if callers provide localMetadata with only one of these fields (e.g., just resourceVersion), validation will now fail.

Consider whether both fields should truly be required when localMetadata is provided, or if they should remain optional for backward compatibility.

43-52: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add a guard for eventsById or document the API guarantee.

The code assumes transactionTree.eventsById is always present, but there is no runtime validation of the response schema—only TypeScript types and OpenAPI definitions. If the API returns a malformed response, destructuring will throw at line 44. Either add an explicit guard like:

  const { transactionTree } = response;
  const { eventsById } = transactionTree ?? {};
  if (!eventsById || typeof eventsById !== 'object') {
    return undefined; // or throw a descriptive error
  }

Or document that the API guarantees these fields and this assumption is intentional.

src/core/config/EnvLoader.ts (1)

120-132: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Mirror the localnet default in getConfigSummary().

getConfig() now defaults provider for localnet, but getConfigSummary() still calls getCurrentProvider() and will throw if the env var is missing. Align the logic to avoid confusing summaries.

🔧 Proposed fix
-    const provider = options?.provider ?? envLoader.getCurrentProvider();
+    let provider = options?.provider;

Consider browser compatibility for DarFileSchema if DOM support is intended.

The Buffer-only constraint works for current Node.js usage via fs.readFileSync(), but the project includes DOM in tsconfig.json. If browser support becomes a requirement, Buffer won't be available; consider Uint8Array or adding platform-specific implementations.

TypeScript discriminated unions only provide compile-time checks. When configs
are loaded dynamically at runtime (from JSON, env vars, etc.), malformed
configs with grantType: 'password' but missing username/password won't be
caught. Without runtime validation, URLSearchParams.append() would convert
undefined to 'undefined' string, causing confusing auth failures.

This restores the runtime validation that was previously removed.

  • Eliminating dead code and unused type utilities
  • Simplifying client configuration by removing unnecessary optionals

The changes are well-structured and improve code quality while maintaining backward compatibility where needed.

✅ Positive Changes

1. Type System Improvements

  • AuthConfig discriminated union (src/core/types.ts:36-37): Excellent use of discriminated unions on grantType field prevents invalid configuration combinations
  • RequestConfig contentType union (src/core/types.ts:59): Constrains to valid MIME types instead of allowing any string
  • Removed problematic nullable handling in WebSocket schemas that could cause runtime errors

2. Code Simplification

  • ScanApiClient (src/clients/scan-api/ScanApiClient.ts:57-74): Cleaner config object construction using conditional spreading
  • BaseClient constructor (src/core/BaseClient.ts:32-56): Simplified configuration merging logic
  • Authentication validation (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:172-194): ✨ Excellent improvement - Added proper runtime validation for password grant credentials, addressing the exact concern raised by reviewers

3. Dead Code Removal

  • Removed entire WebSocketErrorUtils.ts (35 lines) - utilities no longer needed with strict typing
  • Cleaned up test files removing deprecated schema tests
  • Removed unused optional parameters and fallback logic

4. Schema Strictness

  • GetActiveContractsRequestSchema (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/api/state.ts:12-17): Made eventFormat required and removed deprecated filter/verbose fields
  • DarFileSchema (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/common.ts:5): Constrained to Buffer type only for consistent binary handling

⚠️ Areas for Attention

1. Potential Breaking Changes

  • Required fields: Some previously optional fields are now required (e.g., synchronizerId, userId in AllocatePartyParams)
  • Config validation: More strict validation may reject previously "working" configurations
  • Error handling: Removed fallback patterns may expose previously hidden configuration issues

2. Runtime Impact Analysis

The PR addresses the main runtime validation concern from previous reviews:

  • ✅ Fixed: AuthenticationManager.validateAuthConfig() (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:179-194) now includes proper runtime validation for password grant credentials
  • Good: BaseClient methods throw ConfigurationError instead of returning empty strings when required config is missing

3. Configuration Robustness

  • ✅ Good: More prescriptive error messages help debugging
  • Consider: Ensure all environment variable patterns are documented for the new strict validation

🚀 Performance & Security

Performance

  • Positive: Reduced object creation with conditional spreading
  • Positive: Eliminated unnecessary validation loops and fallback checks
  • Neutral: Type guards are efficient and well-implemented

Security

  • Positive: Stricter input validation reduces attack surface
  • Positive: Discriminated unions prevent invalid auth configuration combinations
  • Positive: Runtime validation prevents undefined credentials from being sent

📊 Test Coverage

Test Changes Analysis

The removal of 40 lines from test/unit/schemas/common.test.ts appears to be cleanup of deprecated schema tests (FilterSchema). The remaining tests cover the updated schemas appropriately.

Recommendations:

  • Verify: New strict schemas have corresponding test coverage
  • Add: Integration tests for new discriminated union behavior
  • Test: Error paths for strict validation (malformed configs, missing required fields)

🔧 Specific Technical Feedback

Browser Compatibility (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/common.ts:5)

The DarFileSchema is now Buffer-only. Since tsconfig.json includes DOM types, consider if browser support will be needed:

// Current: Buffer only
export const DarFileSchema = z.instanceof(Buffer);

// Consider if browser support needed:
export const DarFileSchema = z.union([
  z.instanceof(Buffer),
  z.instanceof(Uint8Array)
]);

Type Guard Implementation (src/utils/contracts/findCreatedEvent.ts:28-37)

Excellent improvement in the exported isCreatedTreeEventWrapper function with structural validation. This removes duplicate implementations and provides a reliable type guard.

WebSocket Simplification

The removal of the generic ErrorMessage type parameter from WebSocket handlers is a good simplification that eliminates unused complexity.

📋 Final Assessment

Criteria Rating Notes

Type Safety 🟢 Excellent Significant improvement in type correctness
Breaking Changes 🟡 Moderate Well-justified but may affect consumers
Performance 🟢 Good Reduced overhead, efficient validation

Test Coverage 🟢 Good Appropriate cleanup of deprecated tests

✨ Overall Verdict

Strong approval ⭐ - This PR significantly improves the SDK's type safety and code quality. The strict typing approach will prevent many runtime errors and improve developer experience. The removal of deprecated patterns is well-executed and the discriminated union approach is a best practice.

Key Strengths:

  • Fixes critical runtime validation issues that were identified by other reviewers

  • ✅ Fixed: Removed runtime validation for password grant credentials
    • Added runtime validation in validateAuthConfig() to check for missing username/password fields when grantType is 'password', throwing a clear AuthenticationError instead of allowing undefined values to be stringified.

…ssword

Restore original credential priority: clientSecret (client_credentials grant)
takes precedence over username/password (password grant). This prevents
silent authentication method changes for users with both credential types.

⚠️ Outside diff range comments (2)
src/core/config/EnvLoader.ts (2)

92-92: 🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Redundant fallback: provider is guaranteed truthy here.

After the throw on lines 84-88, provider is guaranteed to be a non-empty string. The || undefined fallback is unreachable.

🧹 Suggested cleanup
-    const apiConfig = envLoader.loadApiConfig(apiType, network, provider || undefined);
+    const apiConfig = envLoader.loadApiConfig(apiType, network, provider);

120-131: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Inconsistent localnet handling between getConfig and getConfigSummary.

getConfig (lines 73-82) defaults provider to 'app-provider' for localnet when not specified. However, getConfigSummary at line 131 calls getCurrentProvider() directly, which throws if CANTON_CURRENT_PROVIDER is missing.

This inconsistency means a user debugging configuration on localnet could have getConfig succeed but getConfigSummary throw an error.

🔧 Suggested fix to align behavior
   public static getConfigSummary(
     apiType: ApiType,
     options?: { network?: NetworkType; provider?: ProviderType }
   ): {
     network: NetworkType;
     provider?: ProviderType;
     envVars: Record<string, string | undefined>;
     missingVars: string[];
   } {
     const envLoader = EnvLoader.getInstance();
     const network = options?.network ?? envLoader.getCurrentNetwork();
-    const provider = options?.provider ?? envLoader.getCurrentProvider();
+    
+    // Get provider, with special handling for localnet (matching getConfig behavior)
+    let provider = options?.provider;
+    if (!provider) {
+      if (network === 'localnet') {
+        provider = 'app-provider';
+      } else {
+        provider = envLoader.getCurrentProvider();
+      }
+    }

… redundant fallback

- getConfigSummary: default provider to 'app-provider' for localnet (matching getConfig behavior)
- getConfig: remove redundant 'provider || undefined' (provider is guaranteed truthy after validation)

When auth config is constructed from external sources (JSON parsing, environment
variables, dynamic objects), TypeScript compile-time checks don't apply. Without
runtime validation, a missing grantType would result in 'grant_type=undefined'
being sent to the OAuth server, causing confusing authentication errors.

This fix adds explicit runtime validation for grantType before using it in the
OAuth request, providing a clear error message when the field is missing.

  • BaseClient constructor (src/core/BaseClient.ts:32-56): Simplified configuration merging logic
  • Authentication validation (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:172-194): ✨ Excellent improvement - Added proper runtime validation for password grant credentials, addressing the exact concern raised by reviewers

3. Dead Code Removal

  • Removed entire WebSocketErrorUtils.ts (35 lines) - utilities no longer needed with strict typing
  • Cleaned up test files removing deprecated schema tests
  • Removed unused optional parameters and fallback logic

4. Schema Strictness

  • GetActiveContractsRequestSchema (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/api/state.ts:12-17): Made eventFormat required and removed deprecated filter/verbose fields
  • DarFileSchema (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/common.ts:5): Constrained to Buffer type only for consistent binary handling

⚠️ Areas for Attention

1. Potential Breaking Changes

  • Required fields: Some previously optional fields are now required (e.g., synchronizerId, userId in AllocatePartyParams)
  • Config validation: More strict validation may reject previously "working" configurations
  • Error handling: Removed fallback patterns may expose previously hidden configuration issues

2. Runtime Impact Analysis

The PR addresses the main runtime validation concern from previous reviews:

  • ✅ Fixed: AuthenticationManager.validateAuthConfig() (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:179-194) now includes proper runtime validation for password grant credentials
  • Good: BaseClient methods throw ConfigurationError instead of returning empty strings when required config is missing

3. Configuration Robustness

  • ✅ Good: More prescriptive error messages help debugging
  • Consider: Ensure all environment variable patterns are documented for the new strict validation

🚀 Performance & Security

Performance

  • Positive: Reduced object creation with conditional spreading
  • Positive: Eliminated unnecessary validation loops and fallback checks
  • Neutral: Type guards are efficient and well-implemented

Security

  • Positive: Stricter input validation reduces attack surface
  • Positive: Discriminated unions prevent invalid auth configuration combinations
  • Positive: Runtime validation prevents undefined credentials from being sent

📊 Test Coverage

Test Changes Analysis

The removal of 40 lines from test/unit/schemas/common.test.ts appears to be cleanup of deprecated schema tests (FilterSchema). The remaining tests cover the updated schemas appropriately.

Recommendations:

  • Verify: New strict schemas have corresponding test coverage
  • Add: Integration tests for new discriminated union behavior
  • Test: Error paths for strict validation (malformed configs, missing required fields)

🔧 Specific Technical Feedback

Browser Compatibility (src/clients/ledger-json-api/schemas/common.ts:5)

The DarFileSchema is now Buffer-only. Since tsconfig.json includes DOM types, consider if browser support will be needed:

// Current: Buffer only
export const DarFileSchema = z.instanceof(Buffer);

// Consider if browser support needed:
export const DarFileSchema = z.union([
  z.instanceof(Buffer),
  z.instanceof(Uint8Array)
]);

Type Guard Implementation (src/utils/contracts/findCreatedEvent.ts:28-37)

Excellent improvement in the exported isCreatedTreeEventWrapper function with structural validation. This removes duplicate implementations and provides a reliable type guard.

WebSocket Simplification

The removal of the generic ErrorMessage type parameter from WebSocket handlers is a good simplification that eliminates unused complexity.

📋 Final Assessment

Criteria Rating Notes
Code Quality 🟢 Excellent Clean discriminated unions, proper type guards, fixed runtime validation
Type Safety 🟢 Excellent Significant improvement in type correctness
Breaking Changes 🟡 Moderate Well-justified but may affect consumers
Performance 🟢 Good Reduced overhead, efficient validation
Security 🟢 Good Stricter validation, better input handling
Test Coverage 🟢 Good Appropriate cleanup of deprecated tests

✨ Overall Verdict

Strong approval ⭐ - This PR significantly improves the SDK's type safety and code quality. The strict typing approach will prevent many runtime errors and improve developer experience. The removal of deprecated patterns is well-executed and the discriminated union approach is a best practice.

Key Strengths:

  • Fixes critical runtime validation issues that were identified by other reviewers
  • Clean architectural improvements with discriminated unions
  • Maintains backward compatibility where sensible
  • Removes technical debt while improving type safety

The PR successfully addresses the main concerns from other reviews and represents a solid step forward in code quality and type safety.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add runtime validation for clientSecret in client_credentials grant.

client_credentials configs missing clientSecret will pass runtime validation and fail later with opaque auth errors. This contradicts the PR’s “fail fast” intent. Add a guard similar to the password-grant check.

🔧 Suggested fix
   if (!this.authConfig.clientId) {
     throw new AuthenticationError(
       `Authentication configuration incomplete. Missing required field: clientId. ` +
         `Grant Type: ${this.authConfig.grantType}`
     );
   }
+  if (this.authConfig.grantType === 'client_credentials' && !this.authConfig.clientSecret) {
+    throw new AuthenticationError(
+      `Authentication configuration incomplete for client_credentials grant type. Missing required field: clientSecret.`
+    );

Since getPartyId() now throws ConfigurationError instead of returning
an empty string, the partyId variable is guaranteed to be a non-empty
string after the call. The 'partyId &&' truthiness check was therefore
dead code.

PR Review: SDK Strict Typing

Comprehensive review of strict typing improvements and deprecated pattern removal.

Todo List

  • Read repository guidelines and understand codebase structure
  • Analyze core type system changes
  • Review client implementation changes
  • Check authentication and configuration changes
  • Examine utility function updates
  • Assess test coverage implications
  • Provide comprehensive feedback and recommendations

🎯 Summary

This PR successfully enforces strict typing throughout the Canton Node SDK by:

  • Removing deprecated fallback patterns that masked type errors
  • Converting to discriminated unions for better type safety
  • Eliminating dead code and unused type utilities
  • Simplifying client configuration by removing unnecessary optionals

The changes are well-structured and improve code quality while maintaining backward compatibility where needed.

✅ Positive Changes

1. Type System Improvements

  • AuthConfig discriminated union (src/core/types.ts:36-37): Excellent use of discriminated unions on grantType field prevents invalid configuration combinations
  • RequestConfig contentType union (src/core/types.ts:59): Constrains to valid MIME types instead of allowing any string
  • Removed problematic nullable handling in WebSocket schemas that could cause runtime errors

2. Code Simplification

  • ScanApiClient (src/clients/scan-api/ScanApiClient.ts:57-74): Cleaner config object construction using conditional spreading
  • BaseClient constructor (src/core/BaseClient.ts:32-56): Simplified configuration merging logic
  • Authentication validation (src/core/auth/AuthenticationManager.ts:172-194): ✨ Excellent improvement - Added proper runtime validation for password grant credentials, addressing the exact concern raised by reviewers
