Basic explanation

What this does: The SDK no longer sends a request that only protocol 14 nodes serve until it has proof that the network runs protocol 14. Before that, it refuses the request locally with a new error, ProtocolVersionNotActive, and no node is banned. When the network may have moved on since the SDK last heard from it, the SDK first asks for the genesis epoch (one proved query) and then decides.

Value: While mainnet runs protocol 13 with a mix of 4.1.2 and 5.0 nodes, a 5.0 SDK calling one of the 13 new query methods, a composite or chained documents query, or a token shielded pool query bans up to four honest nodes per call, for every method, for up to 24 hours. Apps (DET, wallets, dApps) can now detect the refusal by its kind and hide the feature until protocol 14 activates. Once it does, the same call works.

Risks: SDK behaviour only. No consensus, state or server change. Configurations that today send these requests unverified or with a pin now refuse them: an SDK pinned below 14, an SDK without a context provider, and a proofs-off SDK whose context provider cannot supply quorum keys (see Breaking Changes). Each gated call costs one extra proved getEpochsInfo round trip until the SDK has verified a protocol 14 answer.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

A 4.1.2 node does not know what protocol 14 added to the request side:

Request	4.1.2 node	5.0 SDK today
13 new methods (getIdentityKeysRemainingBudgets, getDataContractsLatestVersions, getDataContractsByRange, the contract group, moderation, team-action and fee-pot queries)	UNIMPLEMENTED	retries elsewhere and bans the node
getDocuments V1 with sub_queries (composite) or chained	drops the field, proves the plain page or inner query	cannot verify the answer → Error::Proof → ban
The 6 shielded pool requests with token_id	drops it, proves the credit pool	cannot verify the answer → ban

A protocol version does not identify a binary: at protocol 13 a node may be 4.1.2 or 5.0. Only an answer signed at 14, which no 4.1.2 node can produce, proves that every honest node serves these requests.

The server-side counterpart (5.0 nodes at protocol 13 answering "not active yet" with INVALID_ARGUMENT instead of UNKNOWN) is a separate PR. This one does not depend on it.

What was done?

rs-dapi-client: each request declares what it needs. TransportRequest::needs_protocol_version() returns the lowest protocol version at which every node serves the request as asked, or None. It is declared through a new needs_protocol_version: key in impl_transport_request_grpc!:

• 14, always, for the 13 new methods;
• 14 for GetDocumentsRequest V1 when chained is set or sub_queries is not empty;
• 14 for the 6 shielded requests when token_id is set. Credit-pool requests are byte-identical to what 4.1 SDKs send, wallet shielded sync depends on them, and they stay ungated.

delegate_transport_request_variant! enums forward the declaration of the request they wrap.

rs-sdk: the check. It runs once per call in the Fetch, FetchMany and FetchUnproved paths, after the wire request is encoded and before retry():

• Send when min(stored version, verified version) >= required. The verified version is the highest protocol version of an answer whose proof, quorum signature and freshness were verified. It is never seeded, pinned or persisted. This is the rule that already selects the non-unique lookup's V1 (fix(sdk)!: version the non-unique identity lookup so 4.1 clients keep working #5515), and both now take it from one helper, QuerySettings::network_protocol_basis().
• Refuse without asking when the SDK is pinned below required, or has no context provider.
• Ask first otherwise. The genesis epoch is fetched proved, whatever the SDK's proof setting, under the caller's request settings, with no shared state and no lock. The SDK then re-reads the basis. On a proofs-off SDK the probe bans no node: its failure says nothing about the nodes.
• Mock SDKs do not enforce the rule (it is forced on in the gate's own tests).

Answer side. An answer to a gated request signed below the version comes from a node behind the activation. It returns StaleNodeError::ProtocolVersion, so the node is banned and the call is retried elsewhere. FetchUnproved reads answers with the version the SDK speaks after the check, as the proved paths already do at verification time, so a contract that only protocol 14 rules parse is read correctly on the first call after a probe.

New error. Error::ProtocolVersionNotActive { method, required, network, pinned, cause }, not retryable.

• pinned: the SDK is pinned below required, so no answer can lift the refusal.
• cause: the probe's error, when the probe failed.
• Error::is_transient_protocol_version_refusal(): true only when the probe failed for a reason that can pass (nodes, a quorum source or a quorum not answering yet), so the network may already serve the request. False for the SDK's own setup: no context provider, or one that cannot give quorum keys at all (e.g. a non-trusted EvoSDK).
• wasm-sdk: a new WasmSdkErrorKind::ProtocolVersionNotActive, appended so existing numbers stay stable. isRetriable follows is_transient_protocol_version_refusal.
• rs-sdk-ffi: a typed arm placed before the substring chain. It maps to ProtocolError, or to NetworkError when the refusal is transient. StaleNode errors, including the new StaleNodeError::ProtocolVersion, now map to NetworkError instead of falling through to the "protocol" substring.

Protocol versions are learned only from answers the SDK verified.

• Sdk::verify_response_metadata (public) now only checks freshness, and changes neither the stored nor the verified version. Since fix(sdk)!: version the non-unique identity lookup so 4.1 clients keep working #5515 it had recorded caller-supplied metadata as verified: the only way to open this gate, or the V1 selector, without a quorum signature.
• An unpinned SDK on a network proven at a version newer than this build knows (for example a 5.0 SDK after protocol 15 activates) used to keep its seeded 13 forever, and would have refused every protocol 14 feature. It now encodes requests with the newest version it knows, the rules it already reads such answers with. Side effect: document requests are encoded with those rules too.

Tests and docs.

• A field-level inventory test compares every method, request field, oneof arm and enum value reachable from a request with the 4.1.1 and 5.0 inventories. It fails on any addition without a declared verdict, and checks each verdict against needs_protocol_version on synthesized wire bytes.
• A book page, "Features from Protocol Version 14"; the fetch-pipeline step; the rs-sdk new-query checklist; the js-evo-sdk revalidation sample, which now catches the refusal.

How Has This Been Tested?

Local, macOS (pasta). Red → green is staged in the commits.

• 1992d1c64e adds the tests against no-op scaffolding: 14 of 16 rs-sdk gate tests fail, 2 of 5 inventory tests fail, and 3 of 3 drive-abci emulated-4.1.2 tests fail.
• 1c2cdc2eb0 adds the behaviour, and they all pass.
• The tests added after the review were checked by mutation; see below.

Suite	What it pins	Result
dash-sdk lib sdk::protocol_gate_tests	decision matrix; a fresh SDK probes once then sends; network at 13 → refused, nothing sent, no ban; a seed or pin of 14 still asks first; pinned 13 or no provider → refused without asking; proofs-off SDK asks with a proof; probe under the caller's settings; failed probe → refusal with its cause; proofs-off SDK whose provider gives no quorum keys → refused, no ban; the 13 new methods proved and the 12 unproved ones (4.1.2 emulated as UNIMPLEMENTED) not sent at 13 and sent at 14; composite, chained and token-pool refused at 13; credit-pool and plain document requests always sent; an answer signed 13 to a gated request → StaleNode, retried, banned (Fetch, FetchMany, FetchUnproved, with signed vectors); a network proven at 1000 → gate open, V1 lookup, newest document rules, with a pinned control; verify_response_metadata learns nothing; a fresh SDK's first unproved latest-versions call after a probe reads protocol 14 contracts (ModerationCharters, AppConnect) with no ban	21 passed
dash-sdk lib (all) / main / proof_options	no regressions	365 / 146 (15 ignored) / 93 passed
rs-dapi-client request_inventory	baseline from v4.1.1's proto (checked byte-for-byte by an independent parser), the 5.0 inventory, every addition's verdict	5 passed
drive-abci older_node_answers	a protocol 13 node answering the request without the fields 4.1 drops; the answer verifies as the plain page, inner query or credit pool, is refused as the composite, chained or token-pool answer under 13 and 14 rules, and the request declares 14	3 passed

wasm-sdk lib, rs-sdk-ffi lib	error kind, retriability and message; FFI code; non-trusted provider failure not retriable; stale node → NetworkError	all passed

Mutation checks. Each change below was applied to the final code and the named tests failed. The script is at /tmp/claude-scripts/cseries/mutate.py on the dev box.

Mutation	Caught by

a field of a 5.0 addition missing from the 5.0 inventory	inventory declaration test
wasm: refusal after a failed probe not retriable	wasm error test
FFI: refusal after a failed probe as ProtocolError	FFI error test

In the mock SDK, a transport error is not retryable at the SDK level. Bans for UNIMPLEMENTED happen inside DapiClient::execute and are covered by rs-dapi-client's unimplemented_failover tests. The rs-sdk tests therefore show that nothing is sent (expectations untouched, address list clean); they do not reproduce the ban.

Static: cargo check --workspace --all-targets, CI-flag clippy (--workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked -- --no-deps -D warnings), cargo fmt --check --all.

Not run locally: the wasm functional suite and platform-test-suite against a local network. They run in CI. contracts.spec.ts now expects a client pinned to 13 to be refused, and an unpinned local client to probe and succeed.

Review rounds (Sol and Opus, after CodeRabbit), each fixed with a regression test shown red before the fix:

• 0475eb8721 + 2fae668704: unproved answers were read with the version from before the probe; a PV14 contract failed as a retryable proof error on the first call. ✖ "invalid contract structure: only byte arrays are supported now" / "unexpected property name", ✔ after.
• 971cede02d: FFI mapped StaleNodeError::ProtocolVersion to ProtocolError. ✖ ProtocolError, ✔ NetworkError.
• e0290e1b09: a refusal caused by a provider that cannot give quorum keys was reported retriable. ✖ retriable / NetworkError, ✔ not retriable / ProtocolError.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

• A composite or chained query that also uses contains/containsAny, on an SDK still at its seed of 13, is refused by the encoder's own grammar check before the gate can probe. Folding those grammar checks into the same basis is the R4 follow-up.
• Sdk::fetch_moderation_charters_contract keeps its own "is 14 usable" check (stored version, refresh_protocol_version, Error::Generic). Move it to network_protocol_basis and ProtocolVersionNotActive.
• JS cannot tell a pinned SDK's refusal from "not activated" without parsing the message: expose pinned (and network/required) on the wasm error, and adjust the README sample's comment.
• version_for_requests raises only what query_settings() reports. An unpinned SDK that first meets a network newer than it knows keeps Sdk::version() at its seed for state transitions, helpers and the persistence observer. Ratcheting the stored version to min(received, latest) would make that rule unnecessary.
• The wasm persistence test drives the observer directly; nothing checks that build() installs it (the public freshness check no longer ratchets).
• On a proofs-off SDK, each probe logs "sending query without proof" twice, although the probe asks for a proof (the blanket Query<T> for T warns on the SDK's setting).
• The drive-proof-verifier tests that check the recorded vectors run in CI once PR 1 adds the package to the nextest list.

Breaking Changes

• New Error::ProtocolVersionNotActive and StaleNodeError::ProtocolVersion variants. Both enums are exhaustive.
• rs-sdk-ffi maps StaleNode errors to NetworkError (they could fall through to ProtocolError by message text).
• Requests protocol 14 added are refused locally until the network has proven protocol 14, also on SDKs seeded, persisted or pinned at 14.
• On a network at 14 they are refused by:
  • an SDK pinned below 14 (with_version, FFI platform_version, js version), which sent them before;
  • an SDK without a context provider;
  • a proofs-off SDK whose context provider cannot supply quorum keys. Its gated calls are refused with the probe's error as the cause, and no node is banned, where before they went through unverified. This is an accepted limitation.
• Sdk::verify_response_metadata no longer learns protocol versions, neither the stored nor the verified one.
• For an unpinned SDK on a network proven at a version newer than the build knows, Sdk::query_settings() reports the build's newest version.
• TransportRequest gains a provided method. Implementations outside this repo compile unchanged and declare None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Requests that require protocol version 14 are sent only when the SDK’s version and verified network version meet that requirement. When possible, the SDK checks the network first; otherwise, it returns a ProtocolVersionNotActive error.
  • Protocol-version refusals include details that help distinguish temporary version-check failures from confirmed version mismatches across Rust, JavaScript, and FFI SDKs.

• Bug Fixes

  • Responses signed with an older protocol version are rejected for requests requiring version 14, allowing the SDK to try another node.

• Documentation

  • Added guidance on version requirements, request behavior, and handling protocol-version refusals.

📝 Walkthrough

The SDK now declares protocol requirements for selected requests, checks verified network support before sending them, and validates response versions. The change adds refusal and stale-node errors, compatibility tests, language-binding mappings, and documentation.

Changes: Protocol-version request gating

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Declare and inventory request requirements packages/rs-dapi-client/src/transport.rs, packages/rs-dapi-client/src/transport/grpc.rs, packages/rs-dapi-client/tests/request_inventory.rs, packages/rs-dapi-client/tests/request_inventory/*, packages/rs-sdk/README.md	TransportRequest exposes an optional required protocol version. Selected gRPC requests require version 14, including composite or chained document queries and token-specific shielded-pool requests. Inventory tests compare request features with the 4.1.1 and 5.0 baselines.
Track verified versions and decide whether to gate packages/rs-sdk/src/error.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/query_settings.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/types/{epoch,identity}.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/protocol_gate.rs	The SDK separates freshness checks from verified-version updates and uses verified network state to select request versions. The gate sends, probes, or refuses; a probe uses a proved genesis-epoch query. The SDK adds errors for inactive requirements and stale response versions.
Apply the gate to SDK fetch paths packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/{delegate,fetch,fetch_many,fetch_unproved}.rs, book/src/sdk/fetch-traits.md, packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/data_contracts_latest_versions.rs	Fetch paths check request requirements before execution and check response versions afterward. Unproved fetches parse responses using the request’s captured protocol version.
Test compatibility and response handling packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/protocol_gate_tests.rs, packages/rs-drive-abci/tests/older_node_answers.rs, packages/rs-drive-proof-verifier/tests/protocol_gate.rs, packages/rs-drive-proof-verifier/tests/vectors/protocol-gate/README.md	Tests cover gate decisions, probes, older-node answers, proof verification, stale responses, retries, and request-specific requirements.
Expose errors and document protocol gating packages/rs-sdk-ffi/src/error.rs, packages/wasm-sdk/src/error.rs, packages/wasm-sdk/src/context_provider.rs, packages/wasm-sdk/src/sdk.rs, packages/wasm-sdk/src/queries/data_contract.rs, packages/wasm-sdk/tests/functional/contracts.spec.ts, packages/js-evo-sdk/README.md, book/src/{SUMMARY.md,evo-sdk/getting-started.md,sdk/protocol-version-gate.md}	FFI and WASM expose ProtocolVersionNotActive with cause-aware classification or retry behavior.

133-141: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

Every gated call on a protocol 13 network sends a new probe.

decide returns Gate::Probe for each unpinned SDK whose verified version is below required. A probe that proves 13 does not change this result. On mainnet and testnet at protocol 13, each gated call therefore makes one extra proved getEpochsInfo round trip before the refusal. Gated calls include composite documents queries, chained documents queries and token-pool shielded queries. Concurrent gated calls on a fresh SDK each start a separate probe, and nothing deduplicates them. Under UI load or polling, this doubles the latency of each refusal and sends a burst of probe traffic to DAPI nodes.

Consider these two measures:

• Keep a timestamp of the last probe result below required in shared state, and refuse without probing within a short TTL, for example one epoch or a few minutes.
• Let concurrent probes share one in-flight future.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The protocol-version gate is generally sound and the relevant CI checks have passed, with no blocking correctness or security issue found. Six non-blocking issues remain around sibling-path coverage, version ownership, error classification, and test wiring. The Rust workspace test check is still in progress, so final CI coverage is not yet complete.

🟡 Suggestion: Route moderation-charter availability through the shared protocol gate
packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/moderation_charters/mod.rs:55-65

fetch_moderation_charters_contract still uses its own stored-version check, calls refresh_protocol_version, and returns Error::Generic when protocol 14 is unavailable. A pinned SDK below 14 refuses without the new typed error, while a proofs-disabled SDK's refresh is a no-op and cannot discover that the network has activated protocol 14. This leaves a protocol-14 feature with different probing and error semantics from the other gated queries, preventing consumers from handling it through ProtocolVersionNotActive. Use the shared network-basis gate and preserve the pinned and probe-cause fields; if this is deferred, add a tracking issue.

🟡 Suggestion: Forward protocol requirements from the manual transport wrapper
packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/identities_contract_keys_query.rs:93-111

The new TransportRequest::needs_protocol_version method is forwarded by the delegate macro and generated gRPC implementations, but this manual implementation forwards only names_nothing. Its current inner request declares no requirement, so there is no present behavioral failure; however, any future protocol-gated field or method added to GetIdentitiesContractKeysRequest would silently lose the declaration through this wrapper and bypass the SDK gate. Keep manual wrappers consistent with the generated and delegated implementations.

    fn needs_protocol_version(&self) -> Option<u32> {
        GetIdentitiesContractKeysRequest::try_from(self.clone())
            .ok()
            .and_then(|request| request.needs_protocol_version())
    }

_{source: muse-spark-1.3-contributor (phase1-reviewer: general, rust-quality)}

🟡 Suggestion: Test persistence through the production observer wiring
packages/wasm-sdk/src/sdk.rs:809-816

The test invokes persist_protocol_version(Network::Testnet)(latest) directly, so it verifies only the storage helper. It does not verify that WasmSdkBuilder::build() installs the observer at line 522. A regression removing or misconfiguring .with_protocol_version_observer(...) would still pass while verified protocol-version ratchets would no longer persist for future SDK instances. Exercise a real ratchet through a built SDK or add a narrowly scoped test hook that verifies the builder-installed observer.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/fetch.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/fetch.rs:180-197: Gate protocol-dependent query validation before encoding
  The gate runs only after both rich and wire queries have been encoded. The encoder performs protocol-dependent validation using the SDK's current version; for example, `contains` and `containsAny` clauses in a composite or chained query return `Error::Config` when the SDK is still using protocol 13. A fresh SDK therefore fails locally before `ensure_network_serves` can probe a network that may already run protocol 14, and the request is never retried with the version learned by the probe. Surface the request's protocol requirement before this validation and re-encode after a successful probe. The PR describes this as a follow-up, but no tracking issue is provided and it affects the stated composite/chained-query behavior.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/moderation_charters/mod.rs:55-65: Route moderation-charter availability through the shared protocol gate
  `fetch_moderation_charters_contract` still uses its own stored-version check, calls `refresh_protocol_version`, and returns `Error::Generic` when protocol 14 is unavailable. A pinned SDK below 14 refuses without the new typed error, while a proofs-disabled SDK's refresh is a no-op and cannot discover that the network has activated protocol 14.

In `packages/rs-dapi-client/src/transport/grpc.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-dapi-client/src/transport/grpc.rs:303-305: Keep the protocol requirement in the versioning owner
  `PROTOCOL_VERSION_OF_5_0` hardcodes protocol version 14 in the transport implementation. The repository's coding conventions state that version numbers belong in `packages/rs-platform-version`, and the canonical versioning code already defines protocol 14. Duplicating the activation threshold here allows a future protocol-version change to leave the request inventory and gate stale. Expose or consume the canonical protocol constant through the appropriate lightweight dependency instead of maintaining a second literal.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/error.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/error.rs:204-214: Do not classify transient quorum-source failures as permanent setup failures
  `cannot_verify_answers` treats every `ContextProviderError::Generic` under `QuorumKeyUnavailable` as permanently unable to verify answers. `TrustedHttpContextProvider::get_quorum_public_key` currently converts a failed quorum refetch, including temporary HTTP or source failures, into `Generic`. When refetching is enabled, the subsequent fetch method can return no future, leaving the original `QuorumKeyUnavailable(Generic)` error intact. The protocol refusal is then marked non-transient and is exposed as a permanent protocol error even though retrying the quorum source could succeed. Preserve a dedicated source-unavailable error through this path, or narrow the permanent classification to a genuinely non-recoverable provider configuration error.

Re the three thepastaclaw findings outside the diff:

• Forward protocol requirements from the manual transport wrapper (identities_contract_keys_query.rs): fixed in 40a71ac. IdentitiesContractKeysQuery now forwards needs_protocol_version like the delegate macro and the generated impls. No behaviour change today, since the wrapped request declares none.
• Route moderation-charter availability through the shared gate: deferred, listed under Follow-ups in the PR description (move fetch_moderation_charters_contract to network_protocol_basis and ProtocolVersionNotActive).
• Test persistence through the production observer wiring (wasm-sdk): deferred, listed under Follow-ups. The public verify_response_metadata no longer ratchets the version, so a built wasm SDK can only ratchet through a verified answer. The observer call on ratchet is covered by dash-sdk's own observer test.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The protocol-version gate is broadly implemented correctly, with authenticated version learning, stale-answer handling, and transport declaration forwarding preserved. Three previously reported suggestions remain valid: the WASM persistence test bypasses production observer wiring, moderation-charter fetching bypasses the shared typed gate, and protocol-dependent document validation can fail before probing. CI checks covering the changed code were still in progress at this head.

fetch_moderation_charters_contract still checks the stored protocol_version_number(), calls refresh_protocol_version(), and returns Error::Generic when the version is below 14. This protocol-14 feature therefore bypasses network_protocol_basis() and ProtocolVersionNotActive, producing different pinned, proofs-off, missing-provider, and transient-probe behavior from the other gated requests. Route this helper through the shared gate, or provide a separate tracked issue or pull request before deferring the change.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/identities_contract_keys_query.rs:107-117: Avoid a second deep conversion when forwarding the protocol requirement
  `names_nothing` immediately converts and clones the complete wrapper into `GetIdentitiesContractKeysRequest`, and `needs_protocol_version` repeats the same deep conversion for every contract-key query. The generated request currently declares no protocol requirement, so this adds allocations and work without changing the result. Refactor the wrapper so the generated request is built once and reused for both metadata checks, while retaining forwarding behavior if the generated request later gains a protocol requirement.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/fetch.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/fetch.rs:213-223: Classify stale protocol answers before version-sensitive proof parsing
  `ensure_answer_serves` runs only after `parse_proof_with_metadata_and_proof` has interpreted the response using the requested query shape. An older node that drops a protocol-14 field can return a response that is valid for the older query but cannot be parsed as the requested composite, chained, or token-pool response; parsing then fails with a generic proof error before the new `StaleNodeError::ProtocolVersion` classification is reached. This can produce a less specific terminal error and makes stale-node handling depend on the old response remaining parseable under the newer request. Inspect and authenticate response metadata at the proof boundary before shape-specific parsing, or otherwise preserve the stale-protocol classification for these responses.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/fetch.rs:180-197: Gate protocol-dependent query validation before encoding
  (existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/platform/pull/5561#discussion_r4364845472)
  Both the rich query and wire request are encoded before `ensure_network_serves` runs. The document-query encoder rejects protocol-14 grammar such as `contains`/`containsAny`, time ranges, and integer ranges when a fresh SDK is still using protocol 13, including when those clauses are inside composite or chained queries. Such a valid protocol-14 query returns `Error::Config` before the SDK can probe a network already running protocol 14, and it is never re-encoded with the learned basis. Surface the protocol requirement before version-dependent validation or defer and repeat encoding after a successful probe.
