Subject: [PATCH 001/494] Quantize auction transport timeouts to stabilize
 Fastly backend names

Fastly dynamic backend names embed the first-byte and between-bytes
timeouts so a registration can never be silently reused with a different
transport configuration. Deriving those timeouts from the remaining
wall-clock auction budget minted a new backend name on nearly every
request, defeating cross-request TCP/TLS connection reuse (Fastly pools
connections per backend name) and accumulating registrations toward the
per-service dynamic backend limit.

Compute the effective transport timeout from the configured provider
timeout verbatim when the budget allows, floor the budget-bound value to
250ms buckets otherwise, and pass sub-quantum remainders through exactly
so publishers with sub-250ms configured budgets keep launching. The
quantized value feeds both the backend name and the registered
configuration, so they cannot diverge. Rounding down never extends a
transport cap past the auction deadline, which the mediator and
dispatched-collect paths rely on to bound the </body> hold.

Also add a Fastly platform test pinning predict_name == ensure for the
same spec, since the orchestrator maps responses back to providers by
predicted backend name.

Fixes #847

Subject: [PATCH 002/494] Stream publisher origin bodies end-to-end on Fastly

Publisher pages were fully buffered before the first byte reached the
client: the platform client materialized the origin body (10 MiB cap),
the rewrite pipeline ran over an in-memory cursor, and the EdgeZero
finalize buffered the assembled response while awaiting auction
collection. TTFB therefore tracked full origin transfer plus the
auction instead of origin first byte.

- Add supports_streaming_responses() to PlatformHttpClient (default
  false, Fastly true) and request with_stream_response() on the
  publisher origin fetch only where honored
- Teach the pipeline to consume Body::Stream asynchronously:
  BodyChunkSource (cumulative raw-byte cap via
  publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes), push-style
  BodyStreamDecoder/BodyStreamEncoder in streaming_processor
- Replace the Fastly buffered finalize with
  publisher_response_into_streaming_response: a lazy Body::Stream that
  commits headers at origin first byte, streams rewritten chunks, and
  holds only the </body> tail for auction collection; bids still
  inject before body close
- Share one hold implementation (hold_step_decoded_chunk /
  hold_finish_segments) between the lazy body and the writer-driven
  loop so the paths cannot drift; collect_non_html_auction dedupes the
  collect-before-stream path
- Finalize brotli decode with close() so truncated origin streams
  error instead of silently truncating; decode failures emit
  stream_decode_error telemetry
- Guard bodiless (HEAD/204/304) responses and log wasted auction
  dispatch, matching the buffered finalizer

Local A/B on a 183 KB gzip publisher page with a live 3-slot auction
(release builds, 20 interleaved rounds): TTFB median 741 ms buffered
vs 161 ms streamed (-78%); guest wall time and wasm heap unchanged.

+# True Origin Streaming Fastly Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Fix issue #849 for the production Fastly path so publisher HTML origin bodies stream through the rewrite pipeline to the client, with auction collection outside TTFB except for the held `</body>` tail.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep one cohesive Fastly PR because the core pipeline, Fastly origin fetch, and Fastly finalize path are incomplete in isolation. Convert publisher body processing from sync `Read` over buffered bodies to async chunk-pull over `edgezero_core::body::Body`, then enable Fastly `with_stream_response()` and return a lazy streaming body for publisher responses. Leave Cloudflare, Spin, and Axum streaming as follow-up work.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, `edgezero_core::body::Body`, `futures::StreamExt`, `error-stack`, `flate2`, `brotli`, Fastly Compute, Viceroy tests.
+
+---
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- Publisher HTML and processable publisher responses on the Fastly adapter.
+- Core publisher pipeline support for `Body::Stream`.
+- Fastly platform capability signaling for streaming origin responses.
+- Fastly EdgeZero response delivery that streams publisher bodies to clients.
+- Tests proving stream-vs-buffer parity, bodiless handling, stream caps, and Fastly routing behavior.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Cloudflare origin streaming. Current adapter rejects `PlatformHttpRequest::stream_response`.
+- Spin streaming. Current adapter and upstream EdgeZero Spin conversion are buffered/blocking issues.
+- Axum client streaming. Axum is dev-only and has `LocalBoxStream`/`Send` constraints.
+- Parser-context `</body>` scan fix from issue #850.
+- Origin template caching and transformed HTML caching from issue #852.
+
+## Current Failure Points
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs`: `fastly_response_to_platform(..., stream_response: false)` uses `take_body_bytes()` and the 10 MiB platform cap for publisher origin responses.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`: `body_as_reader()` calls `body.into_bytes().unwrap_or_default()`, so `Body::Stream` becomes an empty body.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`: `stream_html_with_auction_hold()` and `body_close_hold_loop()` are sync-`Read` based.
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`: publisher route calls `buffer_publisher_response_async()`, buffering all processed output and awaiting auction before any client bytes are sent.
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/main.rs`: `send_edgezero_response()` already streams `EdgeBody::Stream`, but currently only asset responses reach that arm.
+
+## File Structure
+
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs`
+  - Add `PlatformHttpClient::supports_streaming_responses()` with default `false`.
+- Modify adapter platform implementations:
+  - `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs`: return `true` for `supports_streaming_responses()`.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-adapter-cloudflare/src/platform.rs`: inherit default `false`.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-adapter-spin/src/platform.rs`: inherit default `false`.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-adapter-axum/src/platform.rs`: inherit default `false`.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs`: configurable test support if needed.
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-core/src/streaming_processor.rs`
+  - Add small push decoder/encoder helpers only if keeping them here reduces duplication.
+  - Keep the existing `StreamingPipeline::process(Read, Write)` API for existing call sites.
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+  - Replace publisher async processing internals with async chunk-pull.
+  - Keep public `buffer_publisher_response_async()` for buffered adapters.
+  - Add a streaming response constructor/helper for Fastly to use.
+  - Make `body_as_reader()` reject `Body::Stream` loudly or remove its use from any stream-capable path.
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+  - Replace publisher `buffer_publisher_response_async()` call with streaming finalize for streamable publisher responses.
+  - Preserve buffered behavior for `PublisherResponse::Buffered`, pass-through/bodiless responses, and error paths.
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/main.rs`
+  - Reuse existing `EdgeBody::Stream` delivery.
+  - If publisher streaming needs a different log message from asset streaming, split the helper name/log text without changing behavior.
+- Tests:
+  - `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` unit tests.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-core/src/streaming_processor.rs` unit tests if push codec helpers are introduced there.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs` tests for capability behavior.
+  - `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs` route tests for publisher streaming response shape.
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+- Use one PR for the full Fastly production fix. Intermediate merged PRs would create incomplete behavior and review confusion.
+- Use existing `publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes` as the publisher body ceiling after streaming. `settings.rs` already documents that this becomes the sole ceiling after true streaming removes the 10 MiB Fastly materialization cap.
+- Keep `Content-Length` removed for rewritten stream responses. Streaming output can change size due to URL rewriting and bid injection.
+- Preserve bodiless behavior for `HEAD`, `204`, and `304`: do not attach or drive a body stream, and log abandoned/wasted auctions as current code does.
+- Do not build a sync `Read` bridge over `Body::Stream`; nested `block_on` can panic on Fastly because the router already runs under `futures::executor::block_on`.
+- Avoid adding `async-stream` initially. Use `futures::stream::unfold` or a custom stream type so the PR does not add a dependency unless the implementation becomes materially clearer.
+
+## Task 1: Baseline Tests for Stream Input Safety
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a failing test for `Body::Stream` not becoming empty**
+
+Add a test near the existing `stream_publisher_body` tests:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn stream_publisher_body_rejects_stream_body_in_sync_path() {
+    let settings = create_test_settings();
+    let registry = IntegrationRegistry::new(&settings).expect("should build registry");
+    let body = EdgeBody::from_stream(futures::stream::iter(vec![Ok(Bytes::from_static(
+        b"<html><body>live</body></html>",
+    ))]));
+    let params = test_process_params("text/html", "");
+    let mut output = Vec::new();
+
+    let err = stream_publisher_body(body, &mut output, &params, &settings, &registry)
+        .expect_err("should reject stream body in sync path");
+
+    assert!(
+        format!("{err:?}").contains("streaming body"),
+        "should explain that Body::Stream is not supported by the sync path: {err:?}"
+    );
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the targeted test and verify it fails**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum stream_publisher_body_rejects_stream_body_in_sync_path
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because current `body_as_reader()` silently returns empty bytes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Replace `body_as_reader()` with a fallible helper**
+
+Change `body_as_reader(body: EdgeBody) -> Cursor<Bytes>` to return `Result<Cursor<Bytes>, Report<TrustedServerError>>` and return a proxy error for `Body::Stream`.
+
+Minimal shape:
+
+```rust
+fn body_as_reader(body: EdgeBody) -> Result<std::io::Cursor<bytes::Bytes>, Report<TrustedServerError>> {
+    let bytes = body.into_bytes().ok_or_else(|| {
+        Report::new(TrustedServerError::Proxy {
+            message: "streaming body cannot be processed by sync publisher pipeline".to_owned(),
+        })
+    })?;
+    Ok(std::io::Cursor::new(bytes))
+}
+```
+
+Update existing sync call sites to use `body_as_reader(body)?`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the targeted test and existing publisher sync tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum stream_publisher_body
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Reject publisher stream bodies on sync path"
+```
+
+## Task 2: Async Chunk Source and Cumulative Cap
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add tests for async chunk pulling**
+
+Add focused tests for a private helper that will pull chunks from both body variants:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn body_chunk_source_yields_once_body_in_chunks() {
+    futures::executor::block_on(async {
+        let body = EdgeBody::from(Bytes::from_static(b"abcdef"));
+        let mut source = BodyChunkSource::new(body, 3);
+
+        assert_eq!(source.next_chunk().await.expect("should read").as_deref(), Some(&b"abc"[..]));
+        assert_eq!(source.next_chunk().await.expect("should read").as_deref(), Some(&b"def"[..]));
+        assert!(source.next_chunk().await.expect("should read").is_none());
+    });
+}
+```
+
+Add a separate test for `Body::Stream` preserving chunk boundaries and surfacing stream errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add a failing test for the cumulative cap**
+
+Use a stream with two chunks whose total exceeds a small cap:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn body_chunk_source_enforces_cumulative_raw_cap() {
+    futures::executor::block_on(async {
+        let body = EdgeBody::from_stream(futures::stream::iter(vec![
+            Ok(Bytes::from_static(b"1234")),
+            Ok(Bytes::from_static(b"5678")),
+        ]));
+        let mut source = BodyChunkSource::new(body, STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE).with_max_bytes(6);
+
+        assert!(source.next_chunk().await.expect("first chunk should pass").is_some());
+        let err = source.next_chunk().await.expect_err("second chunk should exceed cap");
+        assert!(
+            format!("{err:?}").contains("publisher origin body exceeded"),
+            "should report cumulative cap: {err:?}"
+        );
+    });
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the new tests and verify they fail**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum body_chunk_source
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because helper does not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `BodyChunkSource`**
+
+Implement a private helper near `STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE`:
+
+- Owns `EdgeBody`.
+- For `Body::Once`, yields `Bytes` slices up to `chunk_size` without copying more than necessary.
+- For `Body::Stream`, awaits `stream.next()`.
+- Tracks cumulative raw bytes and errors when total exceeds `max_bytes`.
+- Maps stream errors to `TrustedServerError::Proxy`.
+
+Do not use `block_on` inside the helper.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run helper tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum body_chunk_source
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.

+## Task 3: Push Compression Helpers
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/streaming_processor.rs`
+- Or modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` if helpers are publisher-only
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add parity tests for compressed chunk processing**
+
+For each compression mode used by publisher HTML (`gzip`, `deflate`, `br`), add a test that feeds compressed HTML in multiple raw chunks through the future async path and verifies the decompressed/processed/recompressed output decodes to expected HTML.
+
+Start with gzip:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn async_publisher_pipeline_preserves_gzip_html_across_stream_chunks() {
+    futures::executor::block_on(async {
+        let compressed = gzip_bytes(b"<html><body>Hello</body></html>");
+        let body = EdgeBody::from_stream(bytes_to_two_chunk_stream(compressed));
+        let output = process_test_body_async(body, "text/html", "gzip")
+            .await
+            .expect("should process gzip stream");
+
+        assert_eq!(
+            gunzip_bytes(&output),
+            b"<html><head></head><body>Hello</body></html>"
+        );
+    });
+}
+```
+
+Use existing HTML processor expectations rather than inventing new behavior.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the gzip test and verify it fails**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum async_publisher_pipeline_preserves_gzip_html_across_stream_chunks
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because async compressed processing does not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement write-based push decoders**
+
+Use write-based APIs:
+
+- `flate2::write::GzDecoder`
+- `flate2::write::ZlibDecoder`
+- `brotli::DecompressorWriter`
+
+The helper should:
+
+- Accept raw compressed chunks.
+- Write decoded bytes into an internal `Vec<u8>` sink.
+- Return newly decoded bytes after each input chunk.
+- Finalize at EOF and return any decoder tail bytes.
+- Surface decoder errors as `TrustedServerError::Proxy`.
+
+Keep this helper private unless tests or other modules need it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement output encoding wrapper**
+
+Continue to use existing write-based encoders:
+
+- `flate2::write::GzEncoder`
+- `flate2::write::ZlibEncoder`
+- `brotli::enc::writer::CompressorWriter`
+
+The async loop should write processed decoded chunks into the encoder and finalize once.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add deflate and brotli tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum async_publisher_pipeline_preserves_
+```
+
+Expected: gzip, deflate, and brotli async parity tests PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/streaming_processor.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Add push compression support for publisher streams"

+
+## Task 4: Async Publisher Pipeline Without Auction
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add stream-vs-once parity tests for no-auction paths**
+
+Cover:
+
+- HTML rewrite.
+- RSC flight rewrite.
+- Generic URL replacement.
+- Unsupported stream body cannot reach sync path.
+
+Example:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn stream_publisher_body_async_matches_buffered_html_without_auction() {
+    futures::executor::block_on(async {
+        let settings = create_test_settings();
+        let registry = IntegrationRegistry::new(&settings).expect("should build registry");
+        let html = Bytes::from_static(b"<html><body><a href=\"https://origin.example/path\">x</a></body></html>");
+
+        let mut once_params = test_process_params("text/html", "");
+        let mut once_output = Vec::new();
+        stream_publisher_body_async(
+            EdgeBody::from(html.clone()),
+            &mut once_output,
+            &mut once_params,
+            &settings,
+            &registry,
+            &AuctionOrchestrator::new(settings.auction.clone()),
+            &noop_services(),
+        )
+        .await
+        .expect("once body should process");
+
+        let mut stream_params = test_process_params("text/html", "");
+        let mut stream_output = Vec::new();
+        stream_publisher_body_async(
+            EdgeBody::from_stream(futures::stream::iter(vec![Ok(html)])),
+            &mut stream_output,
+            &mut stream_params,
+            &settings,
+            &registry,
+            &AuctionOrchestrator::new(settings.auction.clone()),
+            &noop_services(),
+        )
+        .await
+        .expect("stream body should process");
+
+        assert_eq!(stream_output, once_output);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run parity tests and verify they fail**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum stream_publisher_body_async_matches_buffered
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because no-auction async path still delegates to sync processing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Refactor `process_response_streaming` into reusable processor construction**
+
+Extract the shared routing logic into a helper such as:
+
+```rust
+enum PublisherProcessor {
+    Html(HtmlRewriterAdapter),
+    Rsc(RscFlightUrlRewriter),
+    Url(StreamingReplacer),
+}
+```
+
+Or use a generic closure/helper if that fits existing patterns better. The goal is to avoid duplicating content-type routing between sync and async paths.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Drive all `stream_publisher_body_async()` calls through async chunk-pull**
+
+Even when `params.dispatched_auction` is `None`, build the same processor and use `BodyChunkSource`. This prevents stream bodies from falling into the sync path.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Keep `stream_publisher_body()` for compatibility**
+
+The sync function should remain for old tests and any current non-stream callers, but it must not be used by the async path once this task is complete.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run targeted tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum stream_publisher_body_async_matches_buffered
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Drive publisher async processing from body chunks"
+```
+
+## Task 5: Async Auction Hold Loop
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace reader-based hold-loop test with stream-based test**
+
+Update or add a test based on `body_close_hold_loop_processes_close_tail_before_reading_post_body_chunks()`:
+
+- Feed pre-`</body>` chunk.
+- Feed held `</body>` chunk.
+- Feed post-body chunk.
+- Assert the loop collects auction immediately when `</body` is detected before consuming post-body chunks.
+
+Use an instrumented stream, not `ChunkedReader`, so the test matches the new implementation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add EOF-without-`</body>` test**
+
+Verify that auction collection happens at EOF and finalization still calls `processor.process_chunk(&[], true)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add stream error abandonment test**
+
+Feed a stream error after dispatch and assert telemetry abandonment uses `stream_read_error` or the current expected reason.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests and verify failures**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum body_close_hold_loop
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL until the loop consumes `BodyChunkSource`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Change `body_close_hold_loop` to async chunk-pull**
+
+Replace:
+
+```rust
+async fn body_close_hold_loop<R: Read, W: Write, P: StreamProcessor>(...)
+```
+
+with a shape that accepts decoded chunks from an async driver, or accepts `BodyChunkSource` plus codec state. Keep the control flow:
+
+- Push decoded chunks into `BodyCloseHoldBuffer`.
+- Write ready bytes immediately.
+- On first `</body`, collect auction, write bids to state, then process held bytes.
+- After that, stream subsequent chunks immediately.
+- At EOF, collect auction if not collected, then finalize processor.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run hold-loop tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum body_close_hold_loop
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Make publisher auction hold loop async"
+```
+
+## Task 6: Buffered Adapter Compatibility
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add test proving `buffer_publisher_response_async()` can buffer a stream body**
+
+Construct a `PublisherResponse::Stream` with `body: EdgeBody::from_stream(...)`, call `buffer_publisher_response_async()`, and assert:
+
+- Response body contains processed HTML.
+- `Content-Length` is set to processed byte length.
+- It respects `response_carries_body()` for `HEAD`, `204`, and `304`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add buffered cap test**
+
+Use a small `settings.publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes`, a stream body exceeding it after processing, and assert `buffer_publisher_response_async()` errors before returning a response.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests and verify failures where expected**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum buffer_publisher_response_async
+```
+
+Expected: new stream-body test fails until previous async changes are wired into buffered finalize.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Wire buffered finalize through the async path**
+
+Keep `BoundedWriter` for buffered adapters. `buffer_publisher_response_async()` should call `stream_publisher_body_async()` regardless of whether body is `Once` or `Stream`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run buffered tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum buffer_publisher_response_async
+cargo test-axum bounded_writer
+cargo test-axum response_carries_body
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Preserve buffered publisher finalize with stream inputs"
+```
+
+## Task 7: Platform Streaming Capability Gate
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for publisher origin stream flag**
+
+Use `StubHttpClient::recorded_stream_response_flags()` in publisher tests:
+
+- When client supports streaming, publisher origin fetch sets `stream_response = true`.
+- When client does not support streaming, publisher origin fetch leaves it `false`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests and verify failure**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum publisher_origin_fetch_sets_stream_response_when_supported
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because no capability method exists and publisher fetch never sets the flag.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add capability method**
+
+In `PlatformHttpClient`:
+
+```rust
+fn supports_streaming_responses(&self) -> bool {
+    false
+}
+```
+
+In `FastlyPlatformHttpClient`:
+
+```rust
+fn supports_streaming_responses(&self) -> bool {
+    true
+}
+```
+
+In `StubHttpClient`, add a configurable flag if tests need both states.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Enable publisher origin streaming behind the gate**
+
+At the publisher origin fetch:
+
+```rust
+let mut platform_request = PlatformHttpRequest::new(req, backend_name);
+if services.http_client().supports_streaming_responses() {
+    platform_request = platform_request.with_stream_response();
+}
+let mut response = services.http_client().send(platform_request).await?;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run capability tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-axum publisher_origin_fetch_sets_stream_response_when_supported
+cargo test-axum publisher_origin_fetch_leaves_stream_response_disabled_when_unsupported
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Gate publisher origin streaming by platform capability"
+```
+
+## Task 8: Fastly Publisher Streaming Finalize
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` if a helper is needed
+- Possibly modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/main.rs` for logging/helper naming
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add Fastly route test for publisher response body shape**
+
+In Fastly app tests, configure a publisher HTML origin response and assert the router returns `Body::Stream` for processable publisher responses on `GET`.
+
+Expected assertion:
+
+```rust
+assert!(
+    matches!(response.body(), Body::Stream(_)),
+    "processable publisher response should remain streaming on Fastly"
+);
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add bodiless route tests**
+
+Assert `HEAD`, `204`, and `304` publisher responses do not carry a stream body, preserving existing metadata.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests and verify failure**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_response_streams
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL because app still calls `buffer_publisher_response_async()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add a core helper to convert `PublisherResponse` to streaming response**
+
+Preferred shape in `publisher.rs`:
+
+```rust
+pub fn publisher_response_into_streaming_body(
+    publisher_response: PublisherResponse,
+    method: &Method,
+    settings: Arc<Settings>,
+    integration_registry: Arc<IntegrationRegistry>,
+    orchestrator: Arc<AuctionOrchestrator>,
+    services: RuntimeServices,
+) -> Result<Response<EdgeBody>, Report<TrustedServerError>>
+```
+
+The helper should:
+
+- Return `PublisherResponse::Buffered` unchanged.
+- Return `PublisherResponse::PassThrough` with body attached, except bodiless responses.
+- For `PublisherResponse::Stream`, build `EdgeBody::from_stream(futures::stream::unfold(...))` or equivalent.
+- Move `OwnedProcessResponseParams`, origin body, settings, registry, orchestrator, and services into the stream state.
+- Yield processed chunks as they become available.
+- On mid-stream processing error, log and end the stream. The client sees a truncated body, matching existing mid-stream error behavior.
+
+If borrowing/lifetime pressure is high, keep the helper in Fastly `app.rs` and call core `stream_publisher_body_async()` from inside the stream. Prefer core if it avoids Fastly-specific body processing logic.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Replace Fastly buffered finalize for publisher route**
+
+In `handle_publisher_route`, replace the `buffer_publisher_response_async()` call for Fastly with the streaming helper. Keep non-Fastly adapters on `buffer_publisher_response_async()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Preserve entry-point finalization**
+
+Verify the returned `Response<EdgeBody>` still carries extensions needed by `main.rs`:
+
+- `EcFinalizeState`
+- `RequestFilterEffects`
+- Final cache privacy guard
+
+Headers must be finalized before `send_edgezero_response()` splits the response and commits headers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run Fastly route tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_response
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/main.rs

+
+## Task 9: Pass-Through Publisher Bodies
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add pass-through large body test**
+
+Verify a non-processable successful publisher response (`image/png`, font, video) is returned as `Body::Stream` when origin streaming is supported and body is not bodiless.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add pass-through bodiless test**
+
+Verify `HEAD`, `204`, and `304` pass-through arms preserve headers but do not attach/drain the stream body.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run targeted tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_pass_through
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL if pass-through still buffers or attaches a body for bodiless responses.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Make pass-through use the same body-carrying guard**
+
+Mirror `asset_response_carries_body()` semantics in publisher finalize. If `response_carries_body(method, status)` is false, drop the body and return headers only.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run targeted tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_pass_through
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs

+
+## Task 10: Headers, Length, and Error Semantics
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/main.rs` if logs are misleading
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add header tests**
+
+Assert for streamed processed publisher responses:
+
+- `Content-Length` is absent.
+- `Transfer-Encoding` is not manually set.
+- `Content-Encoding` is preserved when recompression is used.
+- Cache/privacy headers still downgrade when `Set-Cookie` is present.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add mid-stream cap/error test**
+
+Use a body stream that exceeds `publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes` after headers would be committed. Assert the stream returns an error/truncates consistently with existing mid-stream asset behavior and logs enough context.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests and verify failures**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_stream
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL until header/error cleanup is complete.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Clean header handling**
+
+Ensure the existing `response.headers_mut().remove(header::CONTENT_LENGTH)` remains on `PublisherResponse::Stream`. Do not re-add content length for streaming finalize.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Improve log wording**
+
+If `main.rs` still logs "asset streaming" for all `EdgeBody::Stream` responses, rename log messages to "EdgeZero streaming body" or split publisher/asset helpers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_stream
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.

+## Task 11: End-to-End Regression Coverage
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+- Modify: existing integration/parity tests if appropriate
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a slow-origin behavior test if feasible in existing harness**
+
+Preferred test shape:
+
+- Origin response body is a stream with first chunk available immediately and second chunk delayed or instrumented.
+- Router returns `Body::Stream` without collecting the whole body.
+- Pulling the first output chunk does not require pulling the entire origin stream.
+
+If the harness cannot model time cleanly, use an instrumented stream that panics if polled past the first chunk before the returned response body is consumed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add auction timing test**
+
+Verify response construction does not await `collect_dispatched_auction`; collection happens when the body stream is pulled and reaches `</body>` or EOF.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run targeted tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher_streaming_does_not_buffer_origin_before_response
+```
+
+Expected: PASS after Fastly finalize is lazy.

+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+- Optionally modify: issue/PR description only, not repo docs
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update stale interim comments**
+
+Remove or rewrite comments saying publisher stream bodies are already materialized into WASM heap.
+
+Targets:
+
+- `PublisherResponse::Stream` doc.
+- `PublisherResponse::PassThrough` doc if Fastly now preserves stream bodies.
+- `settings.rs` comments that reference future true streaming.
+- Fastly app module comment that says publisher responses are buffered by `publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run doc-related checks locally**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash

+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run parity suite if available locally**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml --test parity
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Optional local TTFB smoke**
+
+Run Fastly local serve against an artificially slow publisher origin:
+
+- Origin sends headers and first HTML chunk immediately.
+- Origin delays later body chunks.
+- Verify browser/curl receives response headers and first chunk before full origin drain.
+- Verify bids still inject before `</body>` when auction completes.
+
+Expected: TTFB tracks origin first byte, not full origin transfer or auction collection.
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+- [ ] No `block_on` inside stream body processing or `Read::read` equivalents.
+- [ ] `Body::Stream` never falls through `into_bytes().unwrap_or_default()`.
+- [ ] Fastly publisher origin fetch sets `with_stream_response()` only through capability gate.
+- [ ] Cloudflare, Spin, and Axum do not start receiving stream-response requests.
+- [ ] `HEAD`, `204`, and `304` do not drive or attach response bodies.
+- [ ] `Content-Length` is absent on processed streaming responses.
+- [ ] Existing buffered adapters still work through `buffer_publisher_response_async()`.
+- [ ] Auction telemetry handles completed and abandoned stream cases.
+- [ ] Mid-stream errors do not panic; they log and truncate consistently with current streaming behavior.
+- [ ] Comments no longer describe publisher streaming as interim/in-memory cursor based.
+
+## PR Description Skeleton
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+
+- convert publisher response processing to async chunk-pull over `Body::Stream`
+- enable Fastly publisher origin streaming behind a platform capability gate
+- stream Fastly publisher responses to clients instead of buffering and awaiting auction before send
+
+## Scope
+
+Fastly production path for issue #849. Cloudflare, Spin, and Axum streaming remain follow-up work.
+
+## Tests
+
+- [ ] cargo fmt --all -- --check
+- [ ] cargo check-fastly
+- [ ] cargo check-axum
+- [ ] cargo check-cloudflare
+- [ ] cargo test-fastly
+- [ ] cargo test-axum
+- [ ] cargo test-cloudflare
+- [ ] cargo test-spin
+- [ ] cargo clippy-fastly
+- [ ] cargo clippy-axum
+- [ ] cargo clippy-cloudflare
+- [ ] cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+- [ ] cargo clippy-spin-native
+- [ ] cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+```
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Cloudflare origin streaming once Worker `ReadableStream` is wrapped into `Body::Stream` and response header/set-cookie behavior is verified.
+- Spin streaming after upstream EdgeZero Spin response conversion supports incremental body writes.
+- Axum streaming only if the dev server needs it enough to justify a `Send` bridge.
+- Issue #850 parser-context `</body>` detection.

Subject: [PATCH 003/494] Harden the streaming publisher pipeline after review

Address the deep-review findings on the streaming cutover:

- Cap cumulative decoded bytes in BodyStreamDecoder against
  publisher.max_buffered_body_bytes: the chunk source only bounds raw
  compressed bytes, so a decompression bomb could expand ~1000x past it
  and push unbounded decoded volume through the rewrite pipeline
- Detect truncated deflate streams: write::ZlibDecoder::try_finish
  accepts truncated input silently, so the deflate arm now drives
  flate2::Decompress directly and requires Status::StreamEnd at
  finalization; trailing bytes after the end marker stay ignored.
  Add truncated-gzip and truncated-deflate regression tests
- Make BodyChunkSource::next_chunk cancellation-safe by polling the
  body in place instead of moving it out across an await; a cancelled
  pull no longer turns into a silent EOF
- Log dispatched auctions dropped uncollected (client disconnect
  mid-stream or never-polled body) via DispatchedAuctionGuard; the
  guard is created before the lazy stream so unpolled drops log too
- Share the pull+decode step between the lazy publisher body and the
  write-sink drivers (hold_step_next_chunk / passthrough_step),
  removing the unreachable!() error plumbing and the triplicated
  processor selection; document body_close_hold_loop_stream as
  groundwork for the buffered adapters' streaming cutover
- Pass identity-encoded chunks through zero-copy and finish encoders
  by consuming them instead of allocating a throwaway replacement
- Add a Fastly dispatch test asserting the publisher fallback returns
  Body::Stream without a stale Content-Length, plus a comment on why
  the publisher fetch gates streaming on capability while the asset
  path does not

Behavior note: gzip bodies with trailing garbage after the trailer now
error mid-stream; the old read-path decoder ignored them.

Subject: [PATCH 004/494] Emit processor_init_error telemetry on streaming
 finalize failure

The buffered finalizer abandons a dispatched auction with
processor_init_error telemetry when HTML processor construction fails;
the streaming finalizer dropped the in-flight SSP responses silently.
Make publisher_response_into_streaming_response async and emit the same
abandonment before returning the construction error.

Subject: [PATCH 005/494] Fix Prebid User ID diagnostics

Publisher-specific bundles need diagnostics based on the modules they
actually contain. Otherwise, missing identity integrations can be hidden
by the default preset.

Refresh the comparison when auctions begin so late publisher
configuration is visible without repeating warnings.

Resolves: #886

Subject: [PATCH 008/494] Dump full SSAT prebid responses in ts-debug auction
 comment

The server-side auction stream path only emitted a summary counter
(ssp/mediator/winning/time), so an operator seeing winning=0 could not
tell whether prebid returned nothing, errored, or bid below the floor.

Serialize the full provider_responses (and mediator_response) into the
ts-debug HTML comment so the SSAT surfaces the same prebid server
response detail available from the /auction endpoint. Bid creative and
metadata are attacker/partner-influenced, so neutralize the '-->' and
'--!>' comment terminators before embedding to keep the dump inside the
comment and out of the live DOM.

Subject: [PATCH 009/494] Surface prebid HTTP error status and body in auction
 dump
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When Prebid Server returns a non-2xx status, the parser returned a bare
AuctionResponse::error with empty metadata — indistinguishable in the
ts-debug dump from a transport, parse, or timeout failure, all of which
tag error_type. An operator seeing status=error with metadata={} had no
way to know the upstream HTTP code without log access.

Attach error_type=http_status, the status code, and a 512-byte body
snippet to the error response metadata so the auction dump shows exactly
why prebid errored (e.g. a 4xx from a PBS rejecting the request).

Subject: [PATCH 010/494] Stop leaking prebid error body into the public
 auction response
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Address PR review of the SSAT debug-dump change:

- The PBS non-2xx response body was attached to AuctionResponse.metadata,
  which ProviderSummary clones verbatim into ext.orchestrator.provider_details
  on the public /auction response — violating the documented invariant in
  auction/orchestrator.rs. Drop the body from metadata, keep only the numeric
  status, and log the snippet server-side at warn.
- Register ERROR_TYPE_HTTP_STATUS and match it in provider_status so PBS HTTP
  errors get their own telemetry bucket instead of the transport_error
  fallback.
- Bound the ts-debug dump: compact serialization capped at 256 KiB, and skip
  the mediator_response line when no mediator ran.
- Correct the auction_html_comment and prepend_auction_debug_comment docs to
  state the comment now embeds raw SSP creative markup (never enable in prod).
- Keep the targeted two-replace terminator neutralisation: a single
  replace("--", ...) re-forms -->/--!> at odd dash-run junctions and is not
  equivalent. Add a table-driven test over the comment-terminator vectors.
- Hoist test-local imports to module scope per CLAUDE.md.

+# SSAT: render the winning creative inline (no PBS Cache round trip)
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-13
+**Status:** Design approved, pending spec review
+**Branch:** `feat/ssat-render-inline-creative`
+
+## Problem
+
+On the server-side auction (SSAT / streaming path), when GAM picks the
+trusted-server header-bid line item, the winning creative is fetched at render
+time from PBS Cache:
+
+```
+https://<hb_cache_host><hb_cache_path>?uuid=<hb_adid>
+```
+
+This is an extra network round trip *after* the GAM call, even though
+trusted-server already holds the winning creative markup (`bid.creative`) from
+the server-side auction it just ran. The client-side `/auction` flow never does
+this — Prebid.js renders the winner from the copy it already has in the browser.
+
+## Goal
+
+Make SSAT render the winning creative **from the copy it already holds**, the
+same way the client does — eliminating the render-time PBS Cache round trip —
+while keeping GAM in the loop (the header bid still competes against GAM's own
+demand via `hb_pb`).
+
+Non-goal: bypassing GAM. SSAT winners must still compete in GAM; we only remove
+the round trip that happens *after* GAM has already picked the TS line item.
+
+## Current flow (verified in code)
+
+1. `build_bid_map` ([publisher.rs:1933]) writes `window.tsjs.bids[slot]` with
+   `hb_pb`, `hb_bidder`, `hb_adid`, `hb_cache_host`, `hb_cache_path`. The raw
+   `adm` (creative) is included **only** when `include_adm` is set — today wired
+   to `settings.debug.inject_adm_for_testing`.
+2. `build_bids_script` ([publisher.rs:2018]) serializes the bid map and runs it
+   through `html_escape_for_script` (escapes `<`/`>`/`&` and `U+2028/2029`),
+   embedding it as `JSON.parse("…")`.
+3. GAM's Prebid line item (matched by `hb_pb`) serves the Prebid Universal
+   Creative, which `postMessage`s `"Prebid Request"`.
+4. `installTsRenderBridge` ([gpt/index.ts:839]) intercepts and either:
+   - serves `matchedBid.adm` **directly** when present (no round trip), or
+   - **fetches from PBS Cache** using `hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` (the round
+     trip we want to remove).
+
+A separate consumer, `injectAdmIntoSlot` ([gpt/index.ts:599]), fires on
+`if (bid.adm)` and **replaces the GAM creative directly** — a GAM *bypass*. Its
+"testing only" status is a comment, not an actual gate.
+
+## Design
+
+### 1. Always include the render `adm` for SSAT winners
+
+Split the single `include_adm` parameter, which currently bundles two unrelated
+things, into two independent signals:
+
+- `render_adm` (production, **always on** for SSAT winners) — inserts the `adm`
+  field so the render bridge can serve it locally.
+- `debug_bid` (testing only, gated on `inject_adm_for_testing`) — the verbose
+  `debug_bid` blob at [publisher.rs:1987] stays behind the testing flag and is
+  **not** shipped in production.
+
+`hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` remain inserted unconditionally, so the cache
+fetch stays available as a fallback.
+
+### 2. Bridge renders local `adm`; cache is the fallback
+
+No change to `installTsRenderBridge` logic is required: it already prefers
+`matchedBid.adm` and falls back to PBS Cache. Once `adm` is present in
+production, the local render becomes the default and the round trip disappears.
+If `adm` is ever absent or unrenderable, the existing cache path still runs —
+zero-risk regression.
+
+### 3. Decouple the GAM-bypass path
+
+`injectAdmIntoSlot` must **not** fire in production just because `adm` is now
+present. Gate it behind an explicit injected config flag (e.g.
+`injectAdmForTesting`) read by the JS, so:
+
+- production inline-`adm` feeds **only** the render bridge → GAM stays in the
+  loop, and
+- the direct GAM-replace path remains available for testing behind the flag.
+
+The flag is surfaced to the JS the same way other tsjs config is injected.
+
+### 4. Security
+
+No new escaping code. The `adm` string is part of the bid-map JSON that already
+passes through `html_escape_for_script` + `JSON.parse("…")`, which neutralizes
+`</script>` breakout and `U+2028/2029`. Requirement: a regression test proving a
+hostile `adm` containing `</script>` (and `U+2028/2029`) cannot break out of the
+injected `<script>` context. The render itself stays sandboxed in an iframe
+(`srcdoc`/`src`) inside `injectAdmIntoSlot`/the bridge renderer.
+
+## Components changed
+
+| Unit | Change |
+| --- | --- |
+| `build_bid_map` (Rust) | Split `include_adm` → `render_adm` (always) + `debug_bid` (testing). Always insert `adm` for winners. |
+| `build_bid_map` callers | Pass `render_adm = true`; `debug_bid = inject_adm_for_testing`. |
+| tsjs config injection (Rust→JS) | Surface `injectAdmForTesting` flag. |
+| `gpt/index.ts` `injectAdmIntoSlot` call site | Gate on the injected `injectAdmForTesting` flag, not bare `bid.adm`. |
+
+## Data flow (after)
+
+```
+SSAT auction → winner (bid.creative held) → build_bid_map inserts adm
+  → build_bids_script (html_escape_for_script) → window.tsjs.bids
+  → hb_pb targeting → GAM competes
+      ├ GAM picks TS line item → PUC "Prebid Request"
+      │     → bridge replies with local adm  → RENDER (no round trip)
+      │     → (adm absent) → PBS Cache fetch  → RENDER (fallback)
+      └ GAM has higher demand → GAM serves its own creative
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Rust**: `build_bid_map` includes `adm` for winners on the production path;
+  `debug_bid` present only under the testing flag; a hostile `</script>` /
+  `U+2028/2029` `adm` is escaped so `build_bids_script` output stays inside the
+  `<script>`.
+- **JS (vitest)**: bridge serves local `adm` without a cache fetch when present;
+  falls back to cache when `adm` absent; `injectAdmIntoSlot` does **not** fire
+  without the `injectAdmForTesting` flag.
+
+## Risks / accepted costs
+
+- **Page weight**: every SSAT navigation response now carries winners' creatives
+  inline (~3–8 KB each), making that response larger and per-auction
+  (uncacheable). Accepted as the cost of client-parity rendering. A future
+  size-cap (inline small, cache large) is out of scope here.
+- **Renderability**: some creatives may assume a PBS Cache/PUC context. The cache
+  fallback covers any that don't render inline.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Size-capping / conditional inline vs cache.
+- Bypassing GAM for SSAT winners.
+- Changing the client-side `/auction` render path.

+# SSAT Inline Creative Rendering — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Render SSAT-winning creatives from the copy trusted-server already holds (no render-time PBS Cache round trip), while keeping GAM in the loop.
+
+**Architecture:** Always include the winning `adm` in `window.tsjs.bids` so the existing `installTsRenderBridge` serves it locally when GAM's Prebid Universal Creative fires. Keep `hb_cache_*` as a fallback. Split the render `adm` from the debug-only `debug_bid` blob, and gate the GAM-bypass path (`injectAdmIntoSlot`) behind an explicit `window.tsjs.injectAdmForTesting` flag so production keeps GAM.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust (`trusted-server-core`, wasm32-wasip1 via Viceroy), TypeScript (`trusted-server-js`, vitest).
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-13-ssat-render-inline-creative-design.md`
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+| File | Responsibility | Change |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` | Build `window.tsjs.bids` + injection | Split `include_adm`→`render_adm`+`debug_bid`; always insert `adm`; emit `injectAdmForTesting` flag |

+| `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/*.test.ts` | JS tests | Bypass-off-without-flag; bridge-serves-local-adm |
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Split `build_bid_map` flags and always include render `adm`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` (`build_bid_map` ~1933)
+- Test: same file, `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test** — production path includes `adm`, excludes `debug_bid`.
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn build_bid_map_includes_adm_for_render_without_debug_bid() {
+    let mut winning = std::collections::HashMap::new();
+    let mut bid = /* build a Bid with creative Some("<div>x</div>"), price Some(1.0) */;
+    winning.insert("ad-header-0".to_string(), bid);
+    // render_adm = true (production), debug_bid = false
+    let map = build_bid_map(&winning, PriceGranularity::Dense, true, false);
+    let slot = map["ad-header-0"].as_object().expect("slot obj");
+    assert_eq!(slot["adm"], serde_json::json!("<div>x</div>"), "render adm present");
+    assert!(!slot.contains_key("debug_bid"), "debug_bid absent in production");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run — expect FAIL** (signature mismatch: `build_bid_map` takes 3 args).
+
+Run: `cargo test-fastly build_bid_map_includes_adm_for_render_without_debug_bid`
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement** — change signature and body:
+
+```rust
+pub(crate) fn build_bid_map(
+    winning_bids: &std::collections::HashMap<String, Bid>,
+    granularity: crate::price_bucket::PriceGranularity,
+    render_adm: bool,
+    debug_bid: bool,
+) -> serde_json::Map<String, serde_json::Value> {
+    // ... unchanged hb_* / cache / nurl / burl inserts ...
+    // Replace the single `if include_adm { adm + debug_bid }` block with:
+    if render_adm {
+        if let Some(ref adm) = bid.creative {
+            obj.insert("adm".to_string(), serde_json::Value::String(adm.clone()));
+        }
+    }
+    if debug_bid {
+        obj.insert("debug_bid".to_string(), serde_json::json!({ /* unchanged blob */ }));
+    }
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run — expect PASS.**
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update the 3 call sites** so the crate compiles:
+  - `publisher.rs:~853`, `~1241`, `~2390`: pass `render_adm = true, debug_bid = settings.debug.inject_adm_for_testing`.
+  - The pure-test caller at `~4043`: `build_bid_map(&winning_bids, PriceGranularity::Dense, false, false)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run** `cargo check-fastly` — expect clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit** — `git commit -m "Split build_bid_map render adm from debug_bid blob"`
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Emit the `injectAdmForTesting` flag with the bids script
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` (`build_bids_script` ~2018 + its caller ~853)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test** — script sets the flag.
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn bids_script_emits_inject_adm_for_testing_flag() {
+    let script = build_bids_script(&serde_json::Map::new(), true);
+    assert!(script.contains("injectAdmForTesting=true"), "flag emitted: {script}");
+    let off = build_bids_script(&serde_json::Map::new(), false);
+    assert!(off.contains("injectAdmForTesting=false"), "flag false: {off}");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run — expect FAIL** (arity).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement** — add a bool param and emit the flag on `window.tsjs`:
+
+```rust
+pub(crate) fn build_bids_script(
+    bid_map: &serde_json::Map<String, serde_json::Value>,
+    inject_adm_for_testing: bool,
+) -> String {
+    let json = serde_json::to_string(bid_map).expect("serialize bid map");
+    let escaped = html_escape_for_script(&json);
+    format!(
+        "<script>(window.tsjs=window.tsjs||{{}}).injectAdmForTesting={inject_adm_for_testing};\
+         (window.tsjs=window.tsjs||{{}}).bids=JSON.parse(\"{escaped}\");\
+         (function(){{var f=window.tsjs.adInit;if(typeof f===\"function\")f();}})();</script>"
+    )
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update the caller** at `~853/854` to pass `settings.debug.inject_adm_for_testing`; update the empty-bids helper at `~2033` and any test expectations that pin the old script string.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run — expect PASS.** `cargo test-fastly bids_script_emits_inject_adm_for_testing_flag`
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit** — `git commit -m "Emit injectAdmForTesting flag on window.tsjs with bids"`
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Escaping regression — hostile `adm` cannot break out of `<script>`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` tests
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write test** — a `</script>` + `U+2028` adm is neutralized in the emitted script.
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn build_bids_script_escapes_hostile_adm() {
+    let mut winning = std::collections::HashMap::new();
+    let mut bid = /* Bid, price Some(1.0), creative Some("</script><script>alert(1)</script>\u{2028}") */;
+    winning.insert("s".to_string(), bid);
+    let map = build_bid_map(&winning, PriceGranularity::Dense, true, false);
+    let script = build_bids_script(&map, false);
+    // Raw </script> must not survive; U+2028 must be unicode-escaped.
+    assert!(!script.contains("</script><script>"), "no raw breakout: {script}");
+    assert!(!script.contains('\u{2028}'), "U+2028 escaped");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run — expect PASS** (existing `html_escape_for_script` already handles it — this pins the guarantee).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit** — `git commit -m "Pin escaping guarantee for inline adm"`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Gate the GAM-bypass (`injectAdmIntoSlot`) behind the flag
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts:~599`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/` (add/extend a test file)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing vitest** — bypass does NOT fire when the flag is off, even with `bid.adm`.
+
+```ts
+// window.tsjs = { bids: { 'ad-header-0': { adm: '<div>x</div>' } }, injectAdmForTesting: false }
+// simulate slotRenderEnded for ad-header-0
+// assert injectAdmIntoSlot was NOT called (spy) — the bridge handles render instead
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run — expect FAIL.** `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run <file>`
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement** — change the guard:
+
+```ts
+if (bid.adm && window.tsjs?.injectAdmForTesting) {
+  injectAdmIntoSlot(divId, bid.adm);
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the companion test** — with `injectAdmForTesting: true`, `injectAdmIntoSlot` IS called.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run — expect PASS.**
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit** — `git commit -m "Gate GAM-bypass adm injection behind injectAdmForTesting flag"`
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Bridge serves local `adm` (no cache fetch) — confirm/extend
+
+**Files:**
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/` (bridge tests)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1:** Check for an existing `installTsRenderBridge` test. If a "serves local adm without cache fetch" case is missing, add: given a bid with `adm` and `hb_cache_*`, a `"Prebid Request"` for its `hb_adid` is answered from `adm` and **no `fetch`** occurs.
+- [ ] **Step 2:** Add the fallback case: bid with `hb_cache_*` but no `adm` → bridge fetches from cache.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run — expect PASS.**
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit** — `git commit -m "Cover bridge local-adm render and cache fallback"`
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Full verification
+
+- [ ] **Step 1:** `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
+- [ ] **Step 2:** `cargo test-fastly && cargo test-axum && cargo test-cloudflare && cargo test-spin`
+- [ ] **Step 3:** `cargo clippy-fastly` (and axum/cloudflare/spin per CI gate)
+- [ ] **Step 4:** `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run && npm run format && node build-all.mjs`
+- [ ] **Step 5:** Manual: with `[debug].auction_html_comment` off and inline adm on, load a nav page; confirm the winning creative renders **without** a request to `hb_cache_host` (Network tab) and GAM still received `hb_pb`.
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit** any format fixes.
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+- Do NOT remove `hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` — they are the fallback.
+- Do NOT ship the `debug_bid` blob in production (Task 1 keeps it behind the flag).
+- Page-weight cost (inline creatives, uncacheable response) is accepted per spec; size-capping is out of scope.

Subject: [PATCH 014/494] Revise SSAT inline-creative plan/spec per review

- Drop render_adm param: always include adm when creative present
- Gate GAM-bypass on per-bid debug_bid instead of a global window.tsjs flag
  (removes SPA-staleness edge case, TsjsApi change, and whole flag-emit task)
- Correct fallback scope: cache fallback only when adm absent; render failure
  after adm is supplied is not detectable
- Qualify sandbox claim: TS guarantees script-context escaping; bridge frame
  isolation depends on the Prebid Universal Creative
- Reconcile with existing ad_init.test.ts coverage (rename, no duplicates)
- Fix test assertion messages to expect("should ..."); list exact clippy gates

 ## Design
 
-### 1. Always include the render `adm` for SSAT winners
+### 1. Always include the render `adm`; keep `debug_bid` gated
 
-Split the single `include_adm` parameter, which currently bundles two unrelated
-things, into two independent signals:
+`build_bid_map`:
+- **Always** insert `adm` (from `bid.creative`) for a winner when present —
+  there is no runtime reason to withhold it, so it is not parameterized.
+- Insert the verbose `debug_bid` blob **only** when the testing flag is set. The
+  single `include_adm` param becomes `include_debug_bid`.
 
-- `render_adm` (production, **always on** for SSAT winners) — inserts the `adm`
-  field so the render bridge can serve it locally.
-- `debug_bid` (testing only, gated on `inject_adm_for_testing`) — the verbose
-  `debug_bid` blob at [publisher.rs:1987] stays behind the testing flag and is
-  **not** shipped in production.
+`hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` remain inserted unconditionally.
 
-`hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` remain inserted unconditionally, so the cache
-fetch stays available as a fallback.
+### 2. Bridge renders local `adm`; cache is the fallback for an *absent* `adm`
 
-### 2. Bridge renders local `adm`; cache is the fallback
+`installTsRenderBridge` already prefers `matchedBid.adm` and falls back to PBS
+Cache. Once `adm` is present in production, the local render becomes the default
+and the round trip disappears.
 
-No change to `installTsRenderBridge` logic is required: it already prefers
-`matchedBid.adm` and falls back to PBS Cache. Once `adm` is present in
-production, the local render becomes the default and the round trip disappears.
-If `adm` is ever absent or unrenderable, the existing cache path still runs —
-zero-risk regression.
+**Fallback scope (corrected):** the bridge posts the markup to the PUC and
+returns; it receives **no render-success signal**. So the PBS Cache fallback
+fires only when `adm` is **absent or empty** — *not* when `adm` is present but
+fails to render. Render failures after `adm` is supplied are not currently
+detectable and do not trigger fallback.
 
-### 3. Decouple the GAM-bypass path
+### 3. Gate the GAM-bypass on `bid.debug_bid` (no new global flag)
 
-`injectAdmIntoSlot` must **not** fire in production just because `adm` is now
-present. Gate it behind an explicit injected config flag (e.g.
-`injectAdmForTesting`) read by the JS, so:
+`injectAdmIntoSlot` must not fire in production merely because `adm` is now
+present. Rather than introduce a global `window.tsjs` flag (which goes stale
+across SPA navigations — an empty initial response would pin it `false`), gate
+the bypass on the per-bid `debug_bid` field, which is already present **iff**
+`inject_adm_for_testing` is on:
 
-- production inline-`adm` feeds **only** the render bridge → GAM stays in the
-  loop, and
-- the direct GAM-replace path remains available for testing behind the flag.
+```ts
+if (bid.adm && bid.debug_bid) {
+  injectAdmIntoSlot(divId, bid.adm);
+}
+```
 
-The flag is surfaced to the JS the same way other tsjs config is injected.
+This works for both initial and SPA auction responses, needs no `TsjsApi`
+change, and keeps production `adm` on the bridge-only (keep-GAM) path.
 
 ### 4. Security
 
 No new escaping code. The `adm` string is part of the bid-map JSON that already
 passes through `html_escape_for_script` + `JSON.parse("…")`, which neutralizes
-`</script>` breakout and `U+2028/2029`. Requirement: a regression test proving a
-hostile `adm` containing `</script>` (and `U+2028/2029`) cannot break out of the
-injected `<script>` context. The render itself stays sandboxed in an iframe
-(`srcdoc`/`src`) inside `injectAdmIntoSlot`/the bridge renderer.
+`</script>` breakout and `U+2028/2029`. **This is the guarantee trusted-server
+directly provides**, pinned by a hostile-`adm` regression test.
+
+Frame isolation of the rendered creative is **not** guaranteed by TS on the
+bridge path: `injectAdmIntoSlot` sets `sandbox=ADM_IFRAME_SANDBOX`, but the
+bridge renderer hands `adm` to the PUC-provided `mkFrame`, which TS neither sets
+nor verifies a sandbox on. Bridge isolation therefore depends on the Prebid
+Universal Creative implementation, not on TS.

- Task 3: assert observable DOM (GAM iframe src) instead of spying on the
  module-private injectAdmIntoSlot
- Use existing make_bid helper + set .creative (make_test_bid_with_creative

Subject: [PATCH 016/494] Always include adm in bid map; gate only debug_bid
 blob

build_bid_map now always inserts the winning creative as adm so the pbRender
bridge can render it locally (no PBS Cache round trip); the verbose debug_bid
blob and the GAM-bypass gate stay behind inject_adm_for_testing. Rename the
param include_adm -> include_debug_bid and thread it through write_bids_to_state.
Reconcile the by-default test to the new behavior, drop the now-redundant
debug-only-adm test, and pin script-context escaping for a hostile adm
(</script> + U+2028/U+2029).

Subject: [PATCH 017/494] Gate GAM-bypass adm injection on per-bid debug_bid

The direct GAM-replace path (injectAdmIntoSlot) now fires only when the bid
carries debug_bid, which is present only under inject_adm_for_testing. In
production the always-present adm is rendered by the pbRender bridge and GAM
stays in the loop. Add observable-DOM tests (GAM iframe src unchanged without
debug_bid, rewritten with it), strengthen the bridge test to prove inline adm
is preferred even when cache coords are present, and rename debug-adm
terminology to inline adm.

Subject: [PATCH 019/494] Harden Fastly publisher streaming against review
 findings

Resolve five correctness and resource-safety findings from the PR #867
review of the end-to-end Fastly publisher streaming path.

- Drive the deflate decoder to StreamEnd at finalization so a valid
  stream that exactly fills the internal output buffer is no longer
  rejected as truncated; the inflater is also drained after all input is
  consumed within a chunk.
- Decode concatenated (multi-member) gzip bodies via MultiGzDecoder on
  both the streaming decoder and the buffered read pipeline so adapters
  agree.
- Enforce the decoded-body cap during decompression through a bounded
  sink shared by the gzip and brotli codecs, so a compression bomb errors
  before its expanded bytes are buffered instead of after a full chunk
  expands; the deflate codec charges each produced block as it is emitted.
- Drop the body of bodiless responses (HEAD, 204, 205, 304) in both the
  streaming and buffered finalizer Buffered arms, and add RESET_CONTENT
  to response_carries_body, so a buffered-unmodified stream body is never
  streamed to the client for a response that must be bodiless.
- Keep the dispatched-auction guard armed across the collection await and
  disarm it only once collection reaches a terminal result, so a body
  dropped while collection is pending still logs the discarded SSP work.

Add regression tests for the deflate output-buffer boundary, multi-member
gzip, bodiless buffered stream bodies, and the auction guard sentinel.

Subject: [PATCH 020/494] Address auction transport-timeout review findings

Resolve the PR review by making transport-timeout canonicalization a
platform capability and hardening auction backend-name correlation.

- Move quantization behind PlatformBackend::canonicalize_transport_timeout_ms.
  Fastly floors budget-derived timeouts to a 250ms quantum with a bounded
  sub-quantum ladder [200,150,100,50]; other adapters use the exact remaining
  budget so bidder deadlines (Prebid tmax, APS timeout) are not shortened
  where no connection-pooling benefit exists.
- Bound sub-quantum backend-name cardinality: exact 1-249ms values no longer
  pass through, capping the budget-derived names a single origin can mint
  toward the per-service dynamic backend limit.
- Add a provider discriminator to PlatformBackendSpec, folded into every
  adapter's backend name, so two providers sharing one origin no longer
  collide on the response-correlation key. Reject a duplicate
  backend_to_provider insertion with an attributed launch failure instead of
  silently overwriting and misattributing a response.
- Make the orchestrator call-site tests deterministic: record predicted and
  registered transport timeouts separately and assert exact equality via a
  controllable platform backend, and enumerate the sub-quantum ladder to
  assert a bounded name cardinality.
- Correct the timeout-semantics comments that overstated absolute-deadline
  enforcement; the Fastly connect/first-byte/between-bytes timeouts bound
  connection, first-byte, and inactivity, not total response time. A true
  absolute deadline carried through the platform HTTP API remains follow-up
  work (#849).

+
+When Prebid Server returns a non-2xx status, the provider detail always includes a safe error classification, HTTP status, and generic message:

+  "http_status": 400,
+  "message": "Prebid Server returned HTTP 400"
+}
+```
+
+With `debug = true`, Trusted Server also extracts the first error message from allowlisted JSON fields (`message`, `error`, `errors`, `detail`, `title`, or `reason`) or a plain-text response. The message is normalized to one line and limited to 500 characters:
+
+```json
+{
+  "error_type": "upstream_http",
+  "http_status": 400,

+}
+```
+
+HTML error pages and unrecognized JSON payloads are not exposed. Debug mode also writes a bounded error-body preview to `tslog`, correlated with the auction ID.

 ::: warning
-Enabling `debug` increases response sizes and adds overhead. Use it in development or when diagnosing auction issues — not in production.

Subject: [PATCH 022/494] Suppress fabricated empty Prebid bidder params

A configured bidder with no inline params and no matching override
expanded to `"bidder": {}`, which PBS rejects. After applying overrides,
drop fabricated empty bidders, preserve an explicitly supplied empty
object so genuine misconfiguration stays visible, and fall back to the
stored-request path when no eligible bidders remain.

 ### Added
 
+- Added the default-true `[auction].rewrite_creatives` option. Setting it to `false` preserves mandatory `/auction` creative sanitization while skipping first-party resource/click URL rewriting and creative TSJS injection.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

 ## Creative Processing
 
-Winning creatives are processed through a streaming HTML rewriter (`lol_html`) before being returned. This rewrites external resource URLs to first-party proxy paths, maintaining privacy and enabling security controls.
+Winning creatives returned by `POST /auction` are always passed through the
+server-side sanitizer. By default, the sanitized HTML is then processed by an
+HTML rewriter (`lol_html`) that converts eligible external resource and click
+URLs to signed first-party paths, adds `data-tsclick`, rewrites inline CSS
+`url(...)` values, and injects the unified creative TSJS runtime when a `<body>`
+exists.

+| `false`           | Sanitize, then return sanitized but unre-written HTML. Accepted asset and click URLs remain direct, so the browser may contact third-party hosts without mediation. |
+
+Disabling rewriting does not disable or reverse sanitization. Scripts,
+stylesheets, style blocks, forms, event handlers, dangerous URL schemes, and
+other rejected content remain removed. It also removes the injected creative
+runtime and first-party proxy/click mediation from the resulting `adm`.
+Sanitizer-accepted hosts are not allowlisted or trusted merely because their
+URLs remain in the output.
+
+The setting applies only to the shared `POST /auction` response converter.
+HTML/CSS returned by `/first-party/proxy` continues to be rewritten. The
+separate debug-only `[debug].inject_adm_for_testing` publisher and page-bids
+path is unchanged and may include raw `adm` for non-production diagnostics.

 ## Processing Triggers
 
-Creative processing is automatically triggered when:
+The creative rewriters are invoked by independent delivery paths:
 
-1. **Content-Type Header**: Response is `text/html` or `text/css`
-2. **Proxy Mode**: Request goes through `/first-party/proxy` (not streaming)
-3. **Integration Response**: Integration returns HTML content
+1. **Auction `adm`**: Winning-bid HTML returned by `POST /auction` is always sanitized, then rewritten by default. This pass is controlled by `[auction].rewrite_creatives`.
+2. **First-party proxy**: Non-streaming `text/html` and `text/css` responses fetched through `/first-party/proxy` are rewritten independently of the auction setting.
+3. **Integration processing**: Publisher HTML integrations use their own registration and configuration controls.
 
 ::: info Streaming Mode
-When `with_streaming()` is enabled in `ProxyRequestConfig`, HTML/CSS processing is **skipped** to preserve origin compression and reduce latency. Use for binary files, large responses, or when rewriting isn't needed.
+When `with_streaming()` is enabled in `ProxyRequestConfig`, proxied HTML/CSS processing is **skipped** to preserve origin compression and reduce latency. This does not change the `POST /auction` sanitizer or rewrite setting.

+## Auction Rewrite Control
+
+Use the default-true auction setting to control only the rewrite pass applied to
+winning-bid `adm` returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```toml
+[auction]
+rewrite_creatives = true
+```
+

+| Omitted or `true` | Sanitize, rewrite eligible resource/CSS and click URLs to signed first-party endpoints, add `data-tsclick`, and inject the unified creative TSJS script when a `<body>` exists. |
+| `false`           | Sanitize, then return the sanitized HTML without rewriting. Sanitizer-accepted external resource, click, and inline CSS URLs remain direct.                                     |
+
+::: warning Sanitization remains mandatory
+Setting `rewrite_creatives = false` returns sanitized but unre-written HTML, not
+byte-for-byte upstream markup. It does not restore scripts, stylesheets, style
+blocks, forms, event handlers, or other content removed by sanitization.
+Sanitizer acceptance is not a host allowlist; ordinary accepted HTTP(S) URLs may
+cause the browser to contact external creative hosts directly.
+:::
+
+This setting does not affect HTML/CSS response rewriting under
+`/first-party/proxy`. It also does not change the separate debug-only
+`[debug].inject_adm_for_testing` publisher and page-bids path, which may include
+raw `adm` for non-production diagnostics.

 ### Changed
 
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

 ### Added
 
+- Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

-- Transforms it to their specific format (e.g., APS TAM, OpenRTB)
+- Transforms it to the provider's OpenRTB request format
 - Makes HTTP request to their endpoint
 - Parses the response
 - Returns `AuctionResponse` with `Bid[]`

-    slots: vec![

-    page_url: Some("https://example.com"),

-1. Collect bids from all providers
-2. Group bids by slot ID
-3. For each slot, select the bid with the highest CPM
-4. Bids with `price: None` (e.g., APS encoded prices) are **skipped** — they cannot be compared without decoding

-- APS bids are effectively ignored since their prices are encoded
-- Only bidders returning clear decimal prices can compete
-- May result in lower revenue when APS would have won
+APS OpenRTB supplies decoded prices, so eligible APS bids participate directly without requiring a mediator.
 
 ### Parallel Mediation
 
-When a `mediator` is configured, all provider responses are forwarded to the mediator service for final winner selection. The mediator can decode proprietary price formats (like APS encoded bids) and apply unified floor pricing.

-2. Collect all responses

-   - Regular bids with clear `price` fields
-   - APS bids with `encoded_price` fields (from `amznbid` metadata)

-**Advantages over parallel_only:**
-
-- All bidders compete on equal footing, including those with encoded prices
-- Centralized floor pricing enforcement
-- Proper APS integration — encoded bids are decoded and compared fairly
-- Higher potential revenue from broader competition
+Mediation is optional for APS. APS reduces to one candidate per impression before mediation so the selected renderer can be restored without same-slot ambiguity.

 ### APS Provider
 
-Transforms auction requests into Amazon's TAM (Transparent Ad Marketplace) format.
+Builds an independent banner OpenRTB request for Amazon Publisher Services.
 
 **Request transformation:**
 
-- `AdSlot` → `ApsSlot` with `slot_id`, `slot_name`, and `sizes` array
-- Publisher ID, page URL, user agent, and timeout included
+- banner `AdSlot` formats become secure OpenRTB impressions;
+- `ext.account` uses canonical `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk` identifies the compatible Prebid contract; and
+- existing page, device, consent, identity, and geo privacy gates are preserved.
 
 **Response parsing:**
 
-- Bids have `price: None` — APS uses proprietary encoding (`amznbid` field is base64-encoded)
-- Bids have `creative: None` — APS does not return HTML creatives
-- Encoded price metadata (`amznbid`, `amznp`) preserved in bid metadata for the mediator
-- Only slots with `fif: "1"` (filled) are processed
-
-This is why mediation is important when using APS: without a mediator, APS bids cannot participate in winner selection.
+- decoded USD prices compete directly with other providers;
+- positive compatible dimensions and an HTTPS `creativeurl` are required;
+- script creatives are rejected before winner selection unless explicitly enabled;
+- one candidate per impression is retained deterministically; and
+- a minimized typed renderer is preserved instead of creative markup or APS notifications.

-# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) Integration
+# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) OpenRTB Integration
 
-Server-side bidding integration for Amazon's Transparent Ad Marketplace (TAM).
+Trusted Server can request banner bids from Amazon Publisher Services (APS) through the APS OpenRTB endpoint and let their decoded USD CPMs compete with other auction providers.
 
-## Overview
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> APS's public adapter metadata describes Prebid Server support as unavailable. Confirm edge/server-originated traffic with your APS account team before a broad production rollout. Start with an isolated cohort and disable publisher-native APS demand for that cohort to avoid duplicate demand.
 
-The APS integration enables publishers to request bids from Amazon's demand sources server-side, providing:
+## Scope
 
-- **Privacy-first bidding**: No client-side ID tracking or third-party cookies required
-- **Reduced latency**: Server-side auction reduces page load impact
-- **Unified auction**: Integrates seamlessly with other bidders (Prebid, GAM)
-- **Performance**: Async bidding with configurable timeouts
+The integration supports:
 
-## Quick Start
+- banner impressions;
+- APS OpenRTB requests to `https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid`;
+- decoded-CPM winner selection with or without a mediator;
+- direct `/auction` rendering; and
+- initial-navigation and page-bids rendering through GAM/Prebid Universal Creative.
 
-Get started with server-side APS bidding in 5 minutes.
+The integration does not implement:
 
-### Prerequisites
+- video or native impressions;
+- APS user sync;
+- Trusted Server delivery of APS `nurl` or `burl`; or
+- native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` handling for Trusted Server APS winners.
 
-- Fastly Compute service configured
-- APS publisher account with valid `pub_id`
-- Rust toolchain installed (see main README)
-
-### Step 1: Configure Fastly Backend
-
-Add APS backend to your Fastly service:
-
-**Option A: Via Fastly UI**
-
-1. Go to your service → Origins
-2. Click "Create a Backend"
-3. Configure:
-   - Name: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Address: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Port: `443`
-   - Enable TLS: ✓
-
-**Option B: Via `fastly.toml`**
-
-Add to your `fastly.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[[backends]]
-name = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-address = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-port = 443
-use_ssl = true
-ssl_cert_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-ssl_sni_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-```
-
-### Step 2: Enable APS in Configuration
-
-Edit `trusted-server.toml`:
+## Configuration
 
 ```toml
-# Enable APS bidding
 [integrations.aps]
 enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Replace with your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
+account_id = "example-aps-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
 timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
 
-# Configure auction to use APS
 [auction]
 enabled = true
-strategy = "parallel_only"  # Run APS alongside other bidders
-bidders = ["aps"]  # Add other bidders like ["aps", "prebid"]
+providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
 timeout_ms = 2000
 ```
 
-### Step 3: Deploy or Test Locally
-
-**Deploy to Fastly:**
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1
-fastly compute publish
-```
-
-**Test Locally:**
-
-```bash
-fastly compute serve
-```
-
-### Step 4: Verify It's Working
-
-Check the logs for APS activity:
-
-```bash
-# You should see:
-INFO APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)
-DEBUG APS: sending bid request: {...}
-DEBUG APS: received response: {...}
-INFO APS returned 2 bids in 150ms
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-Publisher Page Request
-        ↓
-Auction Orchestrator
-        ↓
-APS Provider (async)
-        ↓
-https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid
-        ↓
-Parse APS Response → Unified Bid Format
-        ↓
-Auction Winner Selection
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Basic Setup
+`account_id` is the canonical field. `pub_id` remains a compatibility alias for migration, including integer values, but new configuration should not use it. Supplying both names is an error.
 
-Add to `trusted-server.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Override settings via environment variables:
-
-```bash
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__ENABLED=true
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__PUB_ID=5128
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__TIMEOUT_MS=800
-```
+`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`. While disabled, APS script bids are rejected before per-impression reduction, floors, mediation, and winner selection. Enable it only for a controlled cohort after the browser-security checks in [Rollout](#rollout) pass.
 
-## Auction Strategies
+APS uses ordinary auction slot IDs and banner formats. Legacy creative-opportunity APS `slot_id` configuration is accepted for compatibility but ignored, and `bidders.aps.slotID` is not required. Remove both during migration.
 
-### APS Only
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-bidders = ["aps"]
-# No mediator = parallel only (highest CPM wins)
-```
-
-### APS + Prebid (Parallel)
-
-Best for maximum revenue:
+The APS provider may also participate through a configured mediator:
 
 ```toml
 [auction]
 enabled = true
 providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
+mediator = "adserver_mock"
 timeout_ms = 2000
-# No mediator = all providers compete, highest CPM wins
+```
 
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"
-timeout_ms = 800
+## OpenRTB request
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-enabled = true
-server_url = "https://prebid-server.example.com"
-timeout_ms = 1000
-```
+Trusted Server builds the APS request independently from its Prebid Server request. The request includes:
 
-**Benefits:**
+- `ext.account` from `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk = { "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`;
+- secure banner impressions and configured floors;
+- page, site, device, and consent fields allowed by the existing privacy gates; and
+- eligible EIDs only when consent policy permits them.
 
-- Maximum fill rate
-- Best CPM selection
-- All bidders compete equally
+Precise latitude/longitude, disallowed identifiers, unsupported media types, and Trusted Server/Prebid-only extensions are not forwarded. Unsafe or oversized page URLs are omitted or replaced by the validated publisher fallback.
 
-### APS + Prebid + Mediation
+Raw outbound and inbound payloads are logged only at TRACE level. Normal logs and auction metadata contain aggregate counts and drop reasons.
 
-Let a mediator decide winners:
+## Bid eligibility and selection
 
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
-mediator = "adserver_mock"  # Enables parallel mediation (mediator decides winner)
-timeout_ms = 2000
-```
+APS responses must use USD when a response currency is present. Each eligible bid must have:
 
-## Request Format
+- a known `impid`;
+- a finite decoded price;
+- positive `w` and `h` that match a configured banner format;
+- an HTTPS, credential-free `ext.creativeurl` on an origin other than the publisher; and
+- `ext.tagtype` equal to `iframe`, or `script` when the script gate is enabled.
 
-The integration transforms unified `AuctionRequest` to APS TAM format:
+Trusted Server rejects legacy contextual response shapes and bids with markup-only render sources. It deterministically keeps one eligible APS candidate per impression by highest price, then lexicographically smallest bid ID. This reduction prevents same-slot renderer ambiguity in mediation.
 
-```json
-{
-  "pubId": "5128",
-  "slots": [
-    {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "slotName": "header-banner",
-      "sizes": [
-        [728, 90],
-        [970, 250]
-      ]
-    }
-  ],
-  "pageUrl": "https://example.com/article",
-  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0...",
-  "timeout": 800
-}
-```
+APS bids use `aps` as both the bidder identity and `hb_bidder`, regardless of an upstream seat value. The selected APS bid ID is used for `hb_adid`. APS then competes directly against other decoded-price bids and ordinary slot floors.
 
-## Response Format
+## Rendering security model
 
-APS returns bids in this format:
+Trusted Server does not insert APS creative markup into the publisher document. It serializes only the selected bid into a versioned renderer descriptor. The base64 OpenRTB envelope has exactly this shape:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "bids": [
+  "seatbid": [
     {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "price": 2.5,
-      "adm": "<div>Creative HTML</div>",
-      "w": 728,
-      "h": 90,
-      "adomain": ["amazon.com"],
-      "bidId": "bid-123",
-      "nurl": "https://win-notification.com",
-      "targeting": {
-        "amzniid": "user-id",
-        "amznbid": "2.50"
-      }
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
-The integration automatically transforms this to unified `Bid` format.
+Seats, `impid`, markup, notifications, user-sync data, sibling bids, losing seats, and unknown fields are not exposed. The browser decodes this envelope and cross-checks the ID, dimensions, URL, and tag type before any DOM mutation or message suppression.
 
-## Testing
+Both rendering paths use `GET /integrations/aps/renderer`, a static Trusted Server document with its own restrictive CSP. The document initializes the account-keyed APS queue and then loads only the fixed runner at `https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js`.
 
-### Unit Tests
+The outer iframe uses these sandbox permissions:
 
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps::tests
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
 ```
 
-### Local Testing
+It deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`, so APS and bidder execution remains below an opaque-origin boundary. The renderer response repeats these restrictions with a CSP `sandbox` directive, preventing another embedding path from restoring publisher-origin execution by omitting the iframe attribute. Trusted Server generates a fresh 128-bit nonce, binds it in the iframe URL fragment before navigation, and requires the same one-time nonce in the parent message and renderer acknowledgement. Existing slot content is retained until the static renderer has accepted the descriptor and loaded the fixed runner.
 
-1. Configure APS in `trusted-server.toml`
-2. Set up Fastly backend
-3. Run locally:
-   ```bash
-   fastly compute serve
-   ```
-4. Inspect logs for bid requests/responses
+### Direct `/auction`
 
-### Testing
+The TSJS auction client validates the typed renderer descriptor, creates the opaque renderer iframe, and sends the minimized envelope after the frame loads. Ordinary non-APS `adm` continues through the existing sanitizer and generic creative iframe.
 
-For local testing without live APS credentials, configure the integration with test values:
+### GAM and Universal Creative
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "test-publisher-123"
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-Run unit tests:
-
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps
-```
-
-## Monitoring
+For initial navigation and page-bids, Trusted Server publishes the same descriptor in `window.tsjs.bids`. The source-checked Prebid Universal Creative bridge accepts requests only from the iframe that owns the matching `hb_adid`, validates the complete envelope, and returns a static dynamic-renderer program that creates the same opaque renderer iframe.
 
-The integration logs detailed information at different levels:
+This path does not fetch PBS Cache, fire generic APS win/billing beacons, or call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for the Trusted Server winner. Publisher-owned native APS objects are otherwise left untouched.
 
-```rust
-// Info: Auction lifecycle
-log::info!("APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)");
-log::info!("APS returned 2 bids in 150ms");
+## Publisher CSP
 
-// Debug: Request/response payloads
-log::debug!("APS: sending bid request: {...}");
-log::debug!("APS: received response: {...}");
+The publisher policy must permit the same-origin renderer route, for example:
 
-// Warn: Non-success responses
-log::warn!("APS returned non-success status: 400");
+```text
+frame-src 'self'
 ```
 
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Problem: No bids returned
-
-**Check:**
-
-1. Verify `pub_id` is correct
-2. Check backend is configured: `fastly backend list`
-3. Increase timeout: `timeout_ms = 1200`
-4. View logs with `fastly compute serve`
-
-**Possible causes:**
+Do not add `allow-same-origin` to the outer renderer sandbox. The renderer endpoint supplies its own CSP for the fixed runner and HTTPS creative resources.
 
-- Invalid `pub_id` configuration
-- Timeout too short (increase `timeout_ms`)
-- Backend not configured correctly
-- APS account not active
+Before enabling script creatives, verify under the publisher's actual CSP that both iframe and script-tag creatives:
 
-### Problem: "Backend not found" error
+- render and size correctly;
+- cannot read or modify `top.document`;
+- cannot restore publisher-origin execution;
+- reject malformed descriptors, nonce mismatches, and replay; and
+- work through both direct and GAM/Universal Creative paths.
 
-**Solution:**
-Add backend to Fastly (see Step 1)
+If script rendering requires weakening the outer sandbox, leave `allow_script_creatives = false` and consult APS instead.
 
-### Problem: Parse errors
+## Migration from the legacy APS integration
 
-**Check:**
+This release is a direct protocol cutover:
 
-- Enable debug logging
-- Verify endpoint URL is correct
-- Check APS API for changes
+1. Replace the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` endpoint with `/e/pb/bid`.
+2. Rename `pub_id` to `account_id`.
+3. Remove APS-specific slot ID configuration and remove `aps` from Prebid Server bidder lists. Trusted Server also filters APS from PBS requests for this path.
+4. Prepare GAM line items and Universal Creative for `hb_bidder=aps` and the selected APS `hb_adid`.
+5. Disable publisher-native APS demand for the Trusted Server test cohort.
 
-**Solutions:**
+There is no legacy runtime switch. Roll back by disabling `[integrations.aps]`, restoring native APS for the cohort, or deploying the prior binary.
 
-- Enable debug logging to inspect response
-- Verify APS endpoint is correct
-- Check for API changes (update structs if needed)
+## Rollout
 
-### Timeout Errors
+Use fictional values in source-controlled configuration and fixtures. Supply controlled account details out of band.
 
-**Symptoms:**
+1. Obtain APS account-team confirmation for edge-originated OpenRTB traffic.
+2. Enable Trusted Server APS only for an isolated cohort and disable native APS demand there.
+3. Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` and observe iframe bids through direct and GAM paths.
+4. Confirm outbound privacy fields, aggregate diagnostics, decoded-price competition, line-item targeting, dimensions, click-throughs, and opaque-origin isolation.
+5. Run the restrictive-CSP browser proof for script behavior.
+6. Only then enable script creatives for the isolated cohort and validate them in a real browser.
+7. Expand traffic only after APS confirmation and successful controlled validation.
 
-```
-APS request failed: Timeout
-```
-
-**Solutions:**
-
-- Increase `timeout_ms` in config
-- Check backend connectivity
-- Verify DNS resolution for `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
+## Troubleshooting
 
-## Performance Tuning
+### No APS bids
 
-### Timeout Configuration
+- Confirm `account_id` and account eligibility with APS.
+- Confirm the endpoint is `/e/pb/bid` and uses HTTPS without credentials.
+- Ensure `aps` appears in `auction.providers`.
+- Check aggregate APS drop reasons for currency, dimensions, render source, URL, tag type, or script-gate rejection.
+- Confirm the provider timeout fits inside the auction timeout.
 
-- **Default**: 800ms (matches APS client-side behavior)
-- **Aggressive**: 500ms (reduce latency, may miss some bids)
-- **Conservative**: 1200ms (maximize fill rate)
+### Winner targets but does not render
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800  # Balance latency vs fill rate
-```
+- Confirm `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` returns HTML with its CSP and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.
+- Confirm publisher CSP permits `frame-src 'self'`.
+- Confirm the GAM creative uses the supported Prebid Universal Creative bridge and the winning `hb_adid`.
+- Ensure no native APS path is trying to handle the same cohort.
+- Keep script creatives disabled while diagnosing iframe rendering.
 
-### Orchestrator Timeout
+## Verification
 
-Ensure orchestrator timeout exceeds provider timeout:
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-timeout_ms = 2000  # > sum of all provider timeouts
-

-## Integration with Client-Side
-
-While this implementation focuses on server-side bidding, you can optionally add client-side components later:
-
-1. **ID Resolution**: Integrate third-party ID vendors client-side
-2. **Analytics**: Load `aps_csm.js` for viewability tracking
-3. **Config Loading**: Fetch `/configs/{pub_id}` for advanced settings
-
-See the original network flow documentation for client-side patterns.
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-Potential additions for complete APS TAM parity:
-
-1. **Video Support**: Add video slot formats
-2. **ID Enrichment**: Server-side ID resolution (LiveRamp, ID5, etc.)
-3. **Advanced Targeting**: Pass user segments, geo data
-4. **Config API**: Fetch APS configuration from `/configs/{pub_id}`
-5. **Analytics**: Integrate with APS measurement endpoints

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** Implement task-by-task with tests first. Do not use bare
+> `cargo test --workspace`; use the adapter-aware aliases from `.cargo/config.toml`.
+> Commit or push only when the supervising user explicitly requests it.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the legacy APS `/e/dtb/bid` integration with APS OpenRTB,
+participate with decoded prices without mediation, and render APS banner creatives in
+the direct-auction and GPT/page-bids browser paths.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep APS request/response policy in an APS-specific OpenRTB adapter.
+Map the response into the shared `Bid` plus a typed, versioned APS renderer descriptor.
+Carry that descriptor through `/auction` and the publisher bid map. TSJS builds a
+Trusted Server-owned bootstrap for the fixed APS `prebid-creative.js` runner and
+executes it in the approved sandbox. Ordinary `adm` remains on the existing mandatory
+sanitize/rewrite path.
+
+**Tech stack:** Rust 2024, generated OpenRTB types, serde/serde_json, base64 0.22,
+error-stack, URL validation, TypeScript, Vitest, Prebid Universal Creative messaging.
+
+**Spec:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md`
+
+**Branch:** `issue-764-aps-openrtb`

+
+## Context and guardrails for every task
+
+- APS may be implemented and tested before production edge support is confirmed.
+  Broad production rollout remains blocked until the APS account team confirms the
+  Fastly/edge contract.
+- Send APS SDK identity `{ "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`.
+- Build the exact renderer allowlist: one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`,
+  `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently
+  expose the complete APS response.
+- The outer renderer sandbox must omit `allow-same-origin`.
+  `allow_script_creatives` is a server-side capability gate that defaults false;
+  disabled script bids must be dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+  Enable it only under the staged opaque-origin and controlled-account test policy.
+- APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` delivery are out of scope. Do not add either
+  browser path.
+- Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` as an alias only; do not add a legacy protocol
+  switch.
+- When a Trusted Server APS renderer is present, do not call
+  `apstag.setDisplayBids()`.
+- Banner only. Do not advertise APS video support in this issue.
+- Do not weaken `sanitize_creative_html` or its tests.
+- Raw APS requests/responses remain TRACE-only. Never log real account IDs, EIDs,
+  consent strings, creative URLs, bid tokens, or response bodies at normal levels.
+- All committed fixtures/docs use fictional `example` values. Controlled test-account
+  values stay out of the repository and terminal transcripts intended for review.
+- Use `error-stack`; no anyhow/eyre/thiserror in core code.
+- Use `log::` macros, not `println!`; use descriptive `expect("should ...")`, not
+  `unwrap()`.
+- Run the focused test immediately after each production-code change.

+
+## Task 1: Add typed bid identifiers and renderer state
+
+**What:** Give the shared auction model enough typed state to distinguish OpenRTB bid,
+ad, and creative IDs and carry a validated APS renderer without using arbitrary
+metadata.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+- Modify: every production/test `Bid { ... }` construction found by
+  `rg -n 'Bid \{' crates/trusted-server-core`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+
+- [ ] Add failing serde tests for a bid with:
+  - separate `bid_id`, `ad_id`, and `creative_id`;
+  - an APS renderer version, account ID, selected bid ID, tag type, creative URL,
+    encoded response, and dimensions; and
+  - `renderer = None` omission for ordinary bids.
+- [ ] Define a strict `ApsTagType` enum with only `Iframe` and `Script`.
+- [ ] Define a versioned, typed renderer enum/descriptor. The serialized renderer must
+      use camelCase and a discriminator equivalent to:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "type": "aps",
+    "version": 1,
+    "accountId": "example-account-id",
+    "bidId": "fictional-bid-id",
+    "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+    "tagType": "iframe",
+    "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+    "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+    "width": 300,
+    "height": 250
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Add to `Bid`:
+  - `bid_id: Option<String>`;
+  - `creative_id: Option<String>`; and
+  - `renderer: Option<...>`.
+- [ ] Make descriptor `creativeId` optional and omit it when APS does not return
+      `crid`; add a serde test for the absent-`crid` case.
+- [ ] Correct stale comments saying APS prices are encoded or that APS has no creative
+      delivery mechanism.
+- [ ] Update every `Bid` literal. Use `None` outside production parser paths; do not use
+      serde defaults to hide missed production mappings.
+- [ ] Update Prebid's `parse_bid` to preserve OpenRTB `id` as `bid_id` and `crid` as
+      `creative_id`, while retaining the existing strict `adid -> ad_id` semantics.
+- [ ] Run the focused tests:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::types
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::prebid::tests::parse_bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all` and `cargo check-fastly` before proceeding.
+
+**Expected result:** Shared bids can represent APS renderer state without overloading
+`ad_id` or leaking renderer data through general metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Cut APS configuration over to the OpenRTB contract
+
+**What:** Replace the public APS configuration terminology and default endpoint before
+replacing request/response behavior.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: existing APS test module in the same file
+
+- [ ] Add failing configuration tests proving:
+  - `account_id = "example-account-id"` deserializes;
+  - legacy `pub_id` deserializes to the same field;
+  - string and integer compatibility is retained;
+  - empty and whitespace-only strings fail validation;
+  - surrounding whitespace is trimmed deterministically;
+  - supplying both names fails as a duplicate field;
+  - the default endpoint is `/e/pb/bid`;
+  - HTTP, missing-host, and credential-bearing endpoint overrides fail validation; and
+  - APS remains disabled by default; and
+  - `allow_script_creatives` defaults false.
+- [ ] Rename `ApsConfig.pub_id` to `account_id`, using `pub_id` only as a serde alias.
+      Trim string values, reject empty-after-trim, normalize integers to strings, and
+      rename the custom deserializer/error text accordingly.
+- [ ] Add `allow_script_creatives: bool` with a serde default of `false`. Treat it as a
+      server-side bid-eligibility capability, not a browser-only rendering preference.
+- [ ] Change `default_endpoint()` to:
+
+  ```text
+  https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Replace generic URL-only endpoint validation with a custom check requiring HTTPS,
+      a non-empty host, and no username/password. Do not add a plaintext test exception:
+      the endpoint response is trusted to select executable renderer data.
+- [ ] Remove account IDs from registration and request INFO logs. Log only that APS was
+      registered and the endpoint/provider-safe state needed operationally.
+- [ ] Change `supports_media_type` to banner only.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all -- --check`.
+
+**Expected result:** Existing configs continue through `pub_id`, new configs use
+`account_id`, and no runtime protocol switch is introduced.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Replace the legacy request builder with APS OpenRTB
+
+**What:** Delete the private `/e/dtb/bid` request types and build the request described
+by the design spec from trusted auction context.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify only if useful: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Test: APS and auction-format test modules
+
+### 3.1 Request fixture tests
+
+- [ ] Add a failing complete-request test with fictional values. Assert exact JSON for:
+  - request `id`, `tmax`, and `cur = ["USD"]`;
+  - `ext.account`;
+  - `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"` and `version = "2.2.0"`;
+  - one impression per eligible slot with direct `imp.id` mapping;
+  - banner `format`, first `w`/`h`, `topframe = 0`, floor, floor currency, and
+    unconditional `secure = 1`;
+  - site page/domain/publisher fields;
+  - consent-allowed user ID and EIDs;
+  - UA/IP/language/DNT and coarse geo;
+  - TCF/USP/GPP registrations with COPPA omitted because no trusted signal exists; and
+  - absence of all PBS-only request and impression extensions.
+- [ ] Add focused privacy/validation tests:
+  - latitude/longitude are omitted while permitted coarse geo remains;
+  - gated-out user/EID values stay absent;
+  - no user data, keywords, gender, YOB, customdata, cookies, or arbitrary headers;
+  - non-banner slots are omitted;
+  - dimensions above `i32::MAX` are omitted safely;
+  - empty/invalid formats cannot create a malformed impression;
+  - configured and effective timeout use the orchestrator-granted budget.
+
+### 3.2 `/auction` page derivation
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests to `auction/formats.rs` proving:
+  - a valid same-publisher HTTP(S) `Referer` becomes the `/auction` current page;
+  - userinfo, wrong-host, non-HTTP(S), malformed, and oversized URLs are rejected;
+  - rejection falls back to the configured publisher origin; and
+  - no unrestricted browser body field is accepted as page context.
+- [ ] Implement a small private URL-validation helper. Reuse it in APS referrer
+      handling if practical, but do not make it a broad URL-policy refactor.
+
+### 3.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove `ApsBidRequest`, `ApsSlot`, legacy consent wrappers, slot-ID fallback, and
+      `to_aps_request`.
+- [ ] Add APS request extension types locally in `aps.rs` unless another module must
+      serialize them. Implement `ToExt` consistently with existing OpenRTB extension
+      types.
+- [ ] Implement `build_openrtb_request(&AuctionRequest, &AuctionContext)` using generated
+      OpenRTB types and `to_openrtb_i32`.
+- [ ] Build registrations from the existing `ConsentContext` placements. Copy only the
+      small field mapping needed by APS; do not expose/refactor the PBS builder in this
+      task.
+- [ ] Derive `site.ref` only from a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` that differs from
+      the normalized current page.
+- [ ] Change `request_bids` to serialize/send the OpenRTB body with
+      `Content-Type: application/json`, the existing bounded auction timeout, and no
+      forwarded cookies.
+- [ ] Keep serialized request logging at TRACE.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo check-fastly
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review serialized request fixtures against the immutable upstream request code;
+      explicitly confirm no `ext.prebid` or Trusted Server signing extension appears.
+
+**Expected result:** Every eligible APS banner slot produces a standards-based OpenRTB
+impression with explicit APS and privacy policy.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Parse APS OpenRTB and build the minimized renderer envelope
+
+**What:** Replace `contextual.slots` parsing with strict `seatbid` parsing, decoded CPM,
+one APS candidate per impression, and the exact renderer envelope.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: APS test module
+
+### 4.1 Add failing response tests
+
+- [ ] A runner-compatible banner bid maps:
+  - `id -> bid_id`;
+  - optional `adid -> ad_id` and `crid -> creative_id`;
+  - `impid -> slot_id`;
+  - decoded price/USD, dimensions and domains;
+  - `Bid.bidder = "aps"` regardless of upstream seat; and
+  - `ext.creativeurl`/`ext.tagtype` into the typed renderer.
+- [ ] Missing, string, numeric, and unexpected seat values never become `Bid.bidder` or
+      `hb_bidder` and do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid.
+- [ ] A valid runner-compatible bid without `crid` remains renderable with no
+      `creativeId` in the descriptor.
+- [ ] The immutable official adapter fixture (`ext.bidder` only) is an expected safe
+      drop because the live runner requires `creativeurl`/`tagtype`.
+- [ ] `iframe` and `script` parse into strict enum variants. With
+      `allow_script_creatives = false`, every script bid is safe-dropped before
+      per-impression reduction and winner selection; iframe bids remain eligible.
+- [ ] With one higher-priced script bid and one lower-priced iframe bid for the same
+      impression, the disabled script cannot win and the iframe candidate survives.
+      With only disabled script bids, APS returns no bid.
+- [ ] An APS bid with `adm` but no valid URL/tag type is dropped. When valid renderer
+      metadata coexists with `adm`, all markup is excluded from the browser envelope
+      and `Bid.creative`.
+- [ ] HTTP 204, empty/missing `seatbid`, and seat bids with no bids are normal no-bids.
+- [ ] Legacy `{ "contextual": ... }` is `Error`/`unexpected_response_shape`.
+- [ ] Drop individual bids with unknown/missing `impid`, invalid price/currency/media,
+      missing/zero/out-of-range/incompatible `w` or `h`, missing bid ID, invalid tag
+      type, disabled script capability, or invalid creative URL.
+- [ ] Creative URLs using HTTP, credentials, excessive length, malformed syntax, or the
+      configured publisher origin are rejected.
+- [ ] One structurally malformed bid does not discard another valid bid. Invalid JSON or
+      non-representable numeric literals fail the complete response.
+- [ ] APS `nurl`/`burl` are intentionally discarded, and top-level `ext.userSyncs`
+      reaches neither `Bid`, diagnostics, nor renderer data.
+- [ ] Diagnostics contain only fixed reason/count keys and never IDs, URLs, payloads,
+      account values, seats, or raw extension data.
+
+### 4.2 Exact envelope and collision tests
+
+- [ ] Add `test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json` containing exactly:
+  - root `seatbid`;
+  - one seat object containing only `bid`;
+  - one bid containing only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`; and
+  - `ext` containing only `creativeurl` and `tagtype`.
+- [ ] Assert Rust serialization equals that golden JSON semantically and that decoded
+      `aaxResponse` has no top-level ID/currency, seat, impid, ad/crid/domain,
+      notifications, markup, syncs, sibling bids, or unknown extensions.
+- [ ] Remove unknown fields after transient parsing; do not copy an upstream extension
+      map wholesale into the renderer envelope.
+- [ ] Add a response over the 256 KiB pre-base64 cap and assert
+      `render_payload_too_large`.
+- [ ] Add two valid APS bids with the same impression/seat. Assert the parser returns
+      only the highest price; for a tie, lexicographically lowest bid ID wins with its
+      own matching renderer payload.
+
+### 4.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove all legacy request/response types, slot maps and tests.
+- [ ] Special-case HTTP 204 before body collection/JSON parsing.
+- [ ] Parse the response as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields, then
+      validate each bid independently so a wrong-typed bid cannot discard valid
+      siblings.
+- [ ] Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"`; discard upstream seat/network ID unless a bounded typed
+      internal consumer is introduced. Set APS `nurl = None` and `burl = None`.
+- [ ] Require present, positive, compatible `w` and `h`. Apply
+      `allow_script_creatives` before adding a candidate to the per-impression group so
+      a disabled script cannot reach floors, mediation, or winner selection.
+- [ ] Validate creative URL against the configured publisher origin and build the exact
+      allowlisted envelope from new values rather than cloning upstream objects.
+- [ ] Group accepted candidates by `impid`, reduce deterministically to one, then build
+      the final `AuctionResponse` and aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Preserve `collect_response_bounded(..., UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES, "aps")`,
+      TRACE-only raw body logging, and safe aggregate normal logs.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** APS returns at most one priced, renderer-compatible candidate per
+impression, with an exact browser envelope and stable `bidder = "aps"`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Emit APS winners through `/auction` and prove direct selection
+
+**What:** Use the new identifiers and renderer in the OpenRTB response without
+manufacturing an empty creative, then replace the old mediation assumptions.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs` if a typed bid extension helper is
+  useful
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/orchestrator.rs`
+- Test: format and orchestrator test modules
+
+### 5.1 Failing tests
+
+- [ ] `/auction` maps `Bid.bid_id`, `ad_id`, and optional `creative_id` to OpenRTB
+      `id`, `adid`, and optional `crid` instead of fabricating APS identifiers.
+- [ ] An APS renderer winner has no `adm` key and has
+      `ext.trusted_server.renderer` with the complete versioned descriptor—not a
+      `{type,version}` abbreviation.
+- [ ] A normal `Bid.creative` is still sanitized and rewritten before becoming `adm`.
+- [ ] A winning bid with neither creative nor renderer fails explicitly; it does not
+      serialize `adm: ""`.
+- [ ] A renderer descriptor does not enter the HTML sanitizer.
+- [ ] APS decoded price wins with no mediator when it is highest.
+- [ ] APS loses to a higher clear-price bid.
+- [ ] APS is removed below a slot floor.
+- [ ] Optional mediator presence does not make decoded APS pricing special.
+
+### 5.2 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Add a typed bid-extension serializer for `trusted_server.renderer`.
+- [ ] In `convert_to_openrtb_response`:
+  - preserve real bid/ad/creative IDs;
+  - process `creative` only through the existing sanitize/rewrite branch;
+  - emit renderer ext only for a typed renderer; and
+  - return an auction error for a winner with no render source.
+- [ ] Remove stale “mediation should have provided creative” APS assumptions and encoded
+      price comments.
+- [ ] Replace old orchestrator APS tests with decoded-price/floor tests. Do not change the
+      winner algorithm itself.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct clients receive a priced APS winner with an explicit render
+capability and never mistake an empty `adm` for a creative.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Preserve APS renderer state through mediation and publisher bid maps
+
+**What:** Ensure both publisher paths expose the same APS descriptor and a mediator
+cannot accidentally strip it.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/adserver_mock.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: tests in both files
+
+### 6.1 Mediation tests
+
+- [ ] Add a regression test documenting the current collision: two unreduced APS bids
+      with the same provider/slot/bidder overwrite the `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
+      and can restore the wrong renderer.
+- [ ] Feed the parser's reduced APS response into mediation and prove only the selected
+      source bid reaches the index/request and its bid ID/renderer survive reconstruction.
+- [ ] Keep the broader mediator index unchanged in this issue; APS avoids its existing
+      ambiguity by returning one candidate per impression. Extend restoration only for
+      `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and renderer while preserving existing non-APS
+      notification/cache behavior.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
+  ```
+
+### 6.2 Bid-map tests
+
+- [ ] Add failing `build_bid_map` tests proving:
+  - APS renderer is present when `include_adm = false`;
+  - renderer data is identical for initial-page and page-bids serialization;
+  - `hb_bidder` is always `aps`, never upstream seat/network ID;
+  - `hb_adid` uses APS selected `bid_id` ahead of OpenRTB `adid`;
+  - PBS Cache UUID remains highest priority for PBS bids;
+  - APS `nurl`/`burl` are absent while existing non-APS notifications are unchanged;
+  - no general metadata is exposed in normal mode;
+  - `aaxResponse` and account data survive `build_bids_script` escaping without
+    breaking out of the script; and
+  - a non-APS bid has no renderer property.
+- [ ] Update `build_bid_map` to serialize typed renderer data normally while retaining
+      `adm`/`debug_bid` only under the existing debug flag.
+- [ ] Set APS `hb_adid` from the descriptor's selected bid ID. Preserve current cache and
+      ad-ID fallbacks.
+- [ ] Update `debug_bid` deliberately: IDs may be shown under existing debug behavior,
+      but do not duplicate the potentially large encoded renderer envelope there.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly publisher
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct, mediated, initial-navigation, and SPA auction paths retain
+one typed APS render contract without exposing losing bids or arbitrary metadata.
+

+
+## Task 7: Add the opaque APS renderer endpoint and direct-auction integration
+
+**What:** Serve a static renderer document with its own CSP, validate the exact data the
+vendor consumes, and keep all APS/bidder execution below an outer opaque-origin
+sandbox.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/mod.rs`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/auction.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/request.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/core/auction.test.ts`
+- Modify/add: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/`
+
+### 7.1 Shared wire contract
+
+- [ ] Add TypeScript discriminated types matching the Rust descriptor, with optional
+      `creativeId`.
+- [ ] Make the shared fictional JSON fixture the source of truth: Rust serialization
+      equals it and TS tests import it.
+- [ ] Add `/auction` parser tests for valid renderer ext, absent APS `adm`, optional
+      creative ID, ordinary non-APS `adm`, unrelated ext, and malformed descriptors.
+- [ ] Keep parsing structural; complete trust validation happens before DOM/message
+      side effects.
+
+### 7.2 Static renderer endpoint
+
+- [ ] Add APS to `integrations::builders()` as a proxy registration using the same
+      validated `ApsConfig`, `.with_proxy(...)`, and `.without_js()`.
+- [ ] Register only `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` and return a static document—no
+      account, bid, URL, or response data in HTML.
+- [ ] Add Rust tests for exact route registration, method rejection, content type,
+      `nosniff`, `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and the explicit renderer CSP. The CSP
+      must repeat the approved sandbox tokens without `allow-same-origin` so direct
+      embedding cannot bypass the opaque boundary.
+- [ ] Before loading the vendor runner, the static initializer reads and strictly
+      validates the expected nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it, removes the
+      fragment from visible history, and installs its one-message listener.
+- [ ] The static script accepts one parent message, verifies `event.source`, version,
+      exact structure, and equality with the independently fragment-bound nonce, then
+      removes its listener, initializes the official account queue, dispatches
+      `prebid/creative/render`, and dynamically loads the fixed runner. Reply with the
+      accepted nonce only after runner load (or report runner failure). Because the
+      sandbox origin is opaque, use `"*"` as the target origin in both directions but
+      require the exact child/source window and one-time nonce.
+- [ ] Load only the fixed Amazon runner URL; do not interpolate renderer data into
+      script text, HTML, `srcdoc`, `document.write`, or another executable sink.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::tests
+  ```
+
+### 7.3 Decode and cross-check consumed data
+
+- [ ] `validateApsRenderer` must base64-decode UTF-8 JSON and require the exact allowlist:
+      one seat, one bid, exact bid/ext keys, finite price, dimensions, URL, and tag type.
+- [ ] Cross-check decoded ID/dimensions/URL/tag type against descriptor fields.
+- [ ] Reject unknown keys, markup, notifications, syncs, invalid base64/UTF-8/JSON,
+      non-HTTPS or credential-bearing URLs, and URLs matching `location.origin`.
+- [ ] Validate before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation`, iframe creation, or
+      `postMessage`.
+- [ ] Repeat message/envelope validation inside the static renderer document.
+
+### 7.4 Opaque direct renderer
+
+- [ ] `renderApsCreative` creates a sized iframe with `src` set to
+      `/integrations/aps/renderer`; it never uses outer `srcdoc`.
+- [ ] Apply exactly these tokens and assert `allow-same-origin` is absent:
+
+  ```text
+  allow-forms
+  allow-pointer-lock
+  allow-popups
+  allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+  allow-scripts
+  allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Generate at least 128 random bits per frame with `crypto.getRandomValues`, encode
+      them as strict base64url, and set `iframe.src` to the trusted renderer URL with
+      that nonce in the fragment before insertion/navigation. After load, post the
+      validated descriptor with the same nonce. Clear existing content and reveal the
+      frame only after an exact source- and nonce-bound runner-ready acknowledgement;
+      remove an unacknowledged or failed hidden frame after a bounded timeout.
+- [ ] Reject a missing/malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, repeat, or stale message; a
+      nonce carried only in the posted message is not sufficient.
+- [ ] Leave existing slot content intact on validation/load failure and log no payload,
+      account, URL or bid ID.
+- [ ] Dispatch valid APS renderer bids before ordinary non-APS `adm`; do not change the
+      generic sanitizer/renderer.
+
+### 7.5 Restrictive-CSP and origin proof
+
+- [ ] Add Playwright coverage using a restrictive publisher CSP that permits only
+      `frame-src 'self'` for the renderer route.
+- [ ] Use a local fictional runner/creative implementation matching observed APS
+      iframe/script behavior; CI must not depend on the live Amazon script.
+- [ ] Prove iframe and fetched-HTML script creatives cannot read or modify
+      `top.document`, even though the nested vendor frame requests
+      `allow-same-origin`. Also embed the renderer without an iframe sandbox attribute
+      and prove the response-level CSP sandbox still keeps it opaque.
+- [ ] Prove the renderer route's CSP permits required HTTPS ad resources, the outer
+      frame stays opaque, malformed/mismatched envelopes or fragment/message nonce
+      mismatches do not clear slots, replay is rejected, and the runner can size/render
+      without parent-origin `frameElement` access.
+- [ ] Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` for normal traffic during local browser
+      proof. If script rendering/resizing fails, keep the server gate false and stop for
+      an APS-supported isolated renderer contract. Never add `allow-same-origin` to the
+      outer frame.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
+  node build-all.mjs
+  npm run format
+
+  cd ../../../crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser
+  npx playwright test
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct APS rendering uses a separately served document below an
+opaque outer sandbox with a pre-bound, one-time nonce; script bids cannot win while the
+default-off server capability is disabled.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Integrate APS with the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge
+
+**What:** Serve APS descriptors through the existing source-checked `Prebid Request`
+message path and stop signaling the native APS SDK for TS winners.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+- Modify if needed: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts`
+- Reuse: `src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+
+### 8.1 Add failing bridge tests
+
+- [ ] A matching APS `hb_adid` and renderer:
+  - is accepted only from the owning slot's message source;
+  - is fully decoded/cross-checked before `stopImmediatePropagation()`;
+  - does not fetch PBS Cache or fire generic nurl/burl beacons;
+  - posts one exact serializable `Prebid Response` using the deployed Universal
+    Creative renderer version; and
+  - creates only the opaque renderer-route iframe before posting the descriptor.
+- [ ] Two concurrent requests for the same APS ad ID do not double-render.
+- [ ] An APS descriptor requested from another slot is ignored.
+- [ ] Invalid renderer data does not stop another legitimate handler and does not clear
+      a slot.
+- [ ] Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache tests remain green.
+- [ ] `adInit()` does not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for a bid with a Trusted Server
+      APS renderer, even if `window.apstag` exists.
+- [ ] A publisher-owned native APS SDK remains otherwise untouched; TS does not delete,
+      reinitialize, or monkey-patch it.
+
+### 8.2 Implement bridge support
+
+- [ ] Import the shared envelope validator/opaque-frame helper without importing the
+      full Prebid bundle.
+- [ ] Add the APS branch after source-slot ownership and full renderer validation, before
+      debug ADM/PBS Cache branches.
+- [ ] Define and fixture-test the exact Universal Creative message object, including
+      `rendererVersion`; do not describe or send a non-cloneable function.
+- [ ] Compute an absolute `/integrations/aps/renderer` URL from the trusted publisher
+      page origin before crossing into GAM; a relative URL in the creative frame would
+      resolve against GAM. Validate that URL separately from APS data.
+- [ ] Keep renderer source static and limited to creating the sandboxed iframe with that
+      absolute renderer URL plus a fresh nonce fragment, then post validated data and
+      the matching nonce after load and resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound
+      renderer-ready acknowledgement.
+- [ ] Preserve `renderingAdIds` and live `window.tsjs.bids`. Do not call
+      `fireWinBillingBeacons` for APS; existing non-APS beacon deduplication is unchanged.
+- [ ] Remove the `apstag?.setDisplayBids?.()` block that treats every APS targeting bid
+      as a native SDK bid. Update comments accordingly.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run \
+    test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/spa_hook.test.ts
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Initial navigation and SPA page-bids render the selected APS bid
+through the same typed bootstrap, without relying on native `apstag` state.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Update operator configuration, migration docs, and changelog
+
+**What:** Replace all legacy public guidance and document test/rollout dependencies.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+- Rewrite: `docs/guide/integrations/aps.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Review references found by:
+
+  ```bash
+  rg -n 'e/dtb/bid|pub_id|amznbid|amznp|setDisplayBids|APS.*mediat' \
+    --glob '!target/**' .
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Change the example to `account_id` and `/e/pb/bid`, with fictional values.
+- [ ] Document `pub_id` as a compatibility alias and duplicate-name failure.
+- [ ] Remove any claim that `slot_id`/`bidders.aps.slotID` is required for the OpenRTB
+      provider.
+- [ ] Document banner-only scope, USD comparison, decoded-price direct winners, and
+      aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Document both rendering paths, static renderer endpoint, fixed APS runner URL,
+      exact envelope allowlist, fragment-bound nonce, outer sandbox without
+      `allow-same-origin`, renderer endpoint/publisher CSP requirements, and the
+      default-off `allow_script_creatives` server gate.
+- [ ] State that user sync and Trusted Server firing of APS `nurl`/`burl` are not
+      implemented.
+- [ ] State that public APS metadata says PBS unsupported and production edge traffic
+      still requires account-team confirmation.
+- [ ] Add a cohort rollout checklist:
+  - TS APS enabled;
+  - native APS demand disabled for that cohort;
+  - GAM line item/Universal Creative prepared for `hb_bidder=aps` and selected
+    `hb_adid`;
+  - iframe rendering observed first while `allow_script_creatives = false`;
+  - script enabled only for the isolated cohort after local browser proof, then observed
+    in a real browser; and
+  - no real IDs/tokens captured in docs or fixtures.
+- [ ] Document rollback as disabling APS, restoring native APS for the cohort, or binary
+      rollback—not a legacy config switch.
+- [ ] Add a breaking/migration changelog entry for endpoint and canonical field changes.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd docs
+  npx prettier --write \
+    superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md \
+    superpowers/plans/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration.md \
+    guide/integrations/aps.md
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Operators cannot accidentally configure the old protocol or assume
+user sync/video/native SDK behavior that no longer exists.
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Controlled APS and browser verification
+
+**What:** Validate the uncertain external contract without putting account-specific
+material into source control.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Controlled APS account/config supplied out of band; native APS demand
+disabled for the test cohort; representative GAM line items and publisher CSP; local
+restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin script proof already passing.
+
+- [ ] Deploy with APS enabled only in the controlled cohort and
+      `allow_script_creatives = false` initially.
+- [ ] Prove with parser/orchestrator telemetry and tests that disabled script bids are
+      removed before candidate reduction/winner selection and cannot leave a winning
+      slot without a renderer.
+- [ ] Confirm the outbound body has:
+  - `/e/pb/bid` endpoint;
+  - `ext.account` from operator config;
+  - `ext.sdk = { source: "prebid", version: "2.2.0" }`;
+  - expected impressions, floors, page/device/privacy fields; and
+  - no latitude/longitude or disallowed identity fields.
+- [ ] Confirm a bid returns a decoded price and can beat another provider with no
+      mediator.
+- [ ] Confirm the browser receives the exact one-bid allowlist in `aaxResponse`, with no
+      seat, impid, IDs beyond selected bid ID, domains, notifications, markup, syncs,
+      unknown extensions, sibling bids, or losing seats.
+- [ ] Confirm the immutable official no-renderer fixture safe-drops and separately
+      observe real `creativeurl`/`tagtype` responses.
+- [ ] Exercise a real `tagtype=iframe` response through direct `/auction` and
+      navigation/page-bids/GAM while the script gate remains false.
+- [ ] Only after the local browser proof, set `allow_script_creatives = true` for this
+      isolated cohort and exercise a real `tagtype=script` response through both paths.
+      Do not enable it for other traffic yet.
+- [ ] Verify the exact envelope works with the current APS runner. If it does not, record
+      only missing field names/shape, stop rollout, consult APS, and update spec/tests;
+      never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response.
+- [ ] Verify the outer frame has an opaque origin, restrictive publisher CSP succeeds,
+      click-through/dimensions work, and bidder content cannot access parent DOM.
+- [ ] If the fixed runner cannot render/resize script creatives without outer
+      `allow-same-origin`, restore `allow_script_creatives = false` and stop; do not
+      weaken the boundary.
+- [ ] Verify `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for the TS winner and APS is not
+      participating twice.
+- [ ] Verify INFO/WARN logs and auction summaries contain no raw response or sensitive
+      values.
+- [ ] Obtain APS account-team confirmation before enabling broad production traffic.
+
+**Expected result:** Iframe creatives render under the default policy; script creatives
+become winner-eligible only for the staged cohort after both browser proof phases pass,
+or the server gate returns to false and rollout stops with a bounded contract gap.
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Final regression and repository verification
+
+Run the complete required matrix from the repository root.
+
+### Rust formatting, tests, and lint

+  ```
+
+### Final review
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  git diff --check
+  git status --short
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review every `Bid` construction and mediator conversion for the new identifiers
+      and renderer field.
+- [ ] Review every `adm` assignment and prove it still passes through server
+      sanitization.
+- [ ] Review every renderer serialization boundary and prove only winning APS data is
+      exposed.
+- [ ] Review logs for account IDs, URLs, bid IDs, payloads, and consent/EID leakage.
+- [ ] Verify no real controlled-account data entered source, tests, docs, comments, or
+      snapshots.
+- [ ] Compare the final behavior against all acceptance criteria in the design spec.

+
+## Suggested implementation checkpoints
+
+If commits are requested, keep reviewable checkpoints aligned with the tasks:
+
+1. `Add typed APS renderer state to auction bids`
+2. `Build APS OpenRTB requests`
+3. `Parse APS OpenRTB responses`
+4. `Carry APS renderer metadata to clients`
+5. `Render APS creatives in TSJS and GPT`
+6. `Document APS OpenRTB migration`
+
+Do not combine unrelated refactors with these checkpoints.

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-15  
+**Status:** Approved for implementation and test; production rollout remains subject to APS account-team validation  
+**Issue:** [#764 — Add the Amazon APS Prebid Adapter as first class integration](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/764)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Replace Trusted Server's legacy Amazon Publisher Services (APS/TAM) wire contract
+with the OpenRTB contract used by the official APS Prebid.js adapter, so APS can:
+
+1. receive a valid OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot;
+2. return a decoded CPM that competes directly without a mediator;
+3. render winning `iframe` and `script` creatives through a deliberate APS browser
+   renderer; and
+4. preserve Trusted Server's existing privacy, sanitization, bounded-I/O, and
+   observability invariants.
+
+The new default endpoint is:
+
+```text
+https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+```
+
+The implementation may proceed against fictional fixtures and a controlled APS test
+account before APS confirms Fastly/edge-originated production support. Lack of that
+confirmation is a rollout gate, not an implementation blocker.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Approved decisions
+
+| Decision                  | Resolution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Edge/server support       | Implement and test now; do not claim production support until APS confirms it for the account.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| APS SDK identity          | Send `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"`, which APS has approved as the starting identity. Match the current adapter version with `ext.sdk.version = "2.2.0"`.                                                                                                                                   |
+| Creative response payload | Send an exact allowlisted envelope containing one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently fall back to the full response.                                                                                |
+| Sandbox compatibility     | APS confirmed `allow-same-origin` compatibility, but Trusted Server must not grant it on the outer security boundary. The outer renderer iframe has an opaque origin; descendant APS frames cannot relax an ancestor sandbox restriction. `script` remains disabled until browser proof. |
+| APS notifications         | Do not expose or fire APS `nurl`/`burl` in this issue. The fixed APS runner owns creative tracking until APS approves a separate notification contract.                                                                                                                                  |
+| APS user sync             | Out of scope. Do not expose or execute `ext.userSyncs`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| Migration                 | Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` only as a configuration alias; do not retain a legacy/OpenRTB protocol switch.                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| Native APS coexistence    | When a Trusted Server APS renderer descriptor is present, Trusted Server must not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The test cohort must disable native APS demand to avoid duplicate participation.                                                                                       |

+
+## 3. Primary upstream evidence
+
+The design follows immutable official APS/Prebid sources:
+
+- [APS endpoint and adapter version](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L16-L21)
+- [OpenRTB request enrichment and privacy filtering](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L118-L187)
+- [Request dispatch](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L247-L265)
+- [Creative construction](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L279-L313)
+- [Purpose-1-gated user sync behavior](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L322-L345)
+- [Official APS adapter documentation and capability metadata](https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/blob/adc4af1425c3433c81ee85560519cab0f7d17887/dev-docs/aps.md)
+
+The capability metadata says `pbjs: true` and `pbs: false`. The public source proves
+browser Prebid behavior; it does not by itself establish an approved production
+server-to-server contract for Fastly or another edge runtime.
+
+The immutable adapter test fixture is not a renderer contract: it accepts a banner bid
+whose extension contains only `bidder`, then verifies that the adapter builds the
+script wrapper. The unversioned live `prebid-creative.js` observed on 2026-07-15
+(SHA-256 `ac99774f4d0f6b34aed7584952661007125345b7433970edd832e8451f9a6aef`)
+requires `bid.id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. This
+live-runner observation is intentionally treated as unverified behavior: the official
+fixture must safe-drop in Trusted Server, while controlled-account responses provide
+the separate renderer-compatible test path.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current-state problems
+
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs` currently:
+
+- POSTs a private `pubId`/`slots`/`pageUrl` payload to `/e/dtb/bid`;
+- requires per-slot `bidders.aps.slotID` or falls back to the incoming slot ID;
+- parses `contextual.slots` rather than OpenRTB `seatbid`;
+- stores encoded `amznbid`/`amznp` values in metadata;
+- sets `Bid.price = None` and `Bid.creative = None`; and
+- therefore cannot produce a direct no-mediator winner or a normal creative.
+
+The generic winner selector intentionally ignores price-less bids. The publisher bid
+map also starts from `bid.price`, so the current behavior is internally consistent but
+cannot satisfy #764.
+
+The existing Prebid provider has a mature OpenRTB builder, but that builder also owns
+PBS-specific bidder params, stored requests, request signing, debug behavior,
+`ext.prebid`, and consent-forwarding policy. Reusing it wholesale would couple APS to
+PBS and increase regression risk.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scope and non-goals
+
+### 5.1 In scope
+
+- APS banner OpenRTB request construction.
+- APS OpenRTB response/no-bid parsing.
+- Decoded-price direct winner selection.
+- A typed APS renderer descriptor.
+- APS creative rendering in both:
+  - direct `POST /auction` TSJS rendering; and
+  - publisher navigation/page-bids through the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge.
+- Safe aggregate diagnostics.
+- Configuration and documentation migration.
+- Controlled APS account/browser testing for `iframe` and `script` tag types.
+
+### 5.2 Out of scope
+
+- APS video/VAST support. Although the upstream adapter advertises video, this issue
+  enables banner only until Trusted Server has a designed video delivery path.
+- APS `ext.userSyncs` execution or exposure.
+- A generic third-party renderer framework for arbitrary providers.
+- Refactoring the entire Prebid OpenRTB builder.
+- Retaining the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` request/parser behind a runtime switch.
+- Server-side creative URL fetching or caching.
+- Changes to the global HTML sanitizer's allowed elements or attributes.
+- Production support claims before APS account-team confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Configuration contract and cutover
+
+The canonical configuration becomes:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.aps]
+enabled = false
+account_id = "example-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
+timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
+```
+
+### 6.1 Compatibility
+
+- Rename `pub_id` to `account_id` in the Rust type, example configuration, and docs.
+- Accept `pub_id` as a serde alias for `account_id` for existing operator configs.
+- Continue accepting a string or integer value during migration. Trim strings, reject
+  empty-after-trim values, and normalize integers to strings.
+- If both names are supplied, deserialization must fail as a duplicate field rather
+  than silently selecting one.
+- Keep `endpoint` as an operator-owned test/override setting, but require HTTPS with a
+  non-empty host and no URL credentials. Its configured endpoint must implement this
+  OpenRTB contract; it is not a legacy-protocol switch. There is no plaintext test
+  exception because the APS response is trusted to select an executable renderer.
+- APS remains disabled by default.
+- `allow_script_creatives` is a separate server-side capability gate and defaults to
+  `false`. It may be set to `true` only for an isolated test cohort after the
+  restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin Playwright proof passes, and may remain enabled for
+  production only after controlled-account `tagtype=script` validation.
+
+### 6.2 Slot configuration
+
+The OpenRTB impression ID is the Trusted Server slot ID. APS's official adapter has no
+per-impression bidder parameters, so the provider no longer reads
+`bidders.aps.slotID`. Existing generic creative-opportunity configuration may continue
+to deserialize that value during migration, but APS documentation must mark it unused
+and remove it from new examples.
+
+---
+
+## 7. APS OpenRTB request design
+
+### 7.1 Builder boundary
+
+Implement an APS-specific builder in `integrations/aps.rs` using the generated types
+re-exported by `openrtb.rs`.
+
+Do not make `PrebidAuctionProvider::to_openrtb` public. Initially duplicate the small
+common mappings so APS policy remains explicit. A provider-neutral helper may be
+extracted later only when tests prove byte-for-byte parity for the fields it owns.
+
+### 7.2 Request shape
+
+For each eligible slot, emit one `imp`:
+
+- `imp.id = slot.id`;
+- banner-only `banner.format` entries for valid dimensions;
+- first valid format in `banner.w`/`banner.h` for APS compatibility;
+- `bidfloor` and `bidfloorcur = "USD"` when a floor exists;
+- `banner.topframe = 0`, matching the official framed-delivery fixture;
+- `secure = 1` unconditionally because APS creative delivery is HTTPS-only; and
+- no `imp.ext.prebid`, stored request, or bidder-parameter extension.
+
+At request level emit:
+
+- `id = AuctionRequest.id`;
+- `tmax = context.timeout_ms`, the same effective budget enforced by the backend;
+- `cur = ["USD"]`;
+- `site.domain`, `site.page`, publisher data, and a valid referrer when known;
+- consent-allowed `user.id` and already-gated EIDs;
+- trusted device UA and client IP;
+- coarse device geo with latitude and longitude explicitly omitted;
+- valid `Accept-Language` and DNT signals from the downstream request;
+- TCF, USP, GPP, and GPP SID signals in their existing Trusted Server OpenRTB
+  placements. COPPA remains omitted because Trusted Server has no trusted COPPA signal
+  source in this issue; and
+- APS request extension:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "account": "example-account-id",
+    "sdk": {
+      "source": "prebid",
+      "version": "2.2.0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Page and referrer provenance
+
+- Publisher navigation and page-bids continue using the server-derived scheme, host,
+  and matched request path.
+- `POST /auction` should use a valid same-publisher `Referer` URL as the current page
+  instead of always reducing the page to `https://<configured-domain>`; otherwise it
+  falls back to the configured publisher origin.
+- A candidate URL must use HTTP(S), have no userinfo, be length-bounded, and match the
+  configured publisher host before it can become `site.page`.
+- `site.ref` is emitted only when a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` differs from the
+  normalized current page. If the endpoint request's `Referer` is simply the current
+  page, omit `site.ref` rather than mislabeling it as the document's prior referrer.
+- Do not add an unrestricted client-provided URL or copy arbitrary headers.
+
+### 7.4 Privacy rules
+
+The provider consumes the privacy-filtered `AuctionRequest`; it does not independently
+weaken endpoint decisions.
+
+- Existing auction consent denial still returns before contacting APS.
+- APS only receives `request.user.eids`, which endpoint code has already gated.
+- Do not serialize `user.data`, `user.keywords`, `user.gender`, `yob`, `customdata`, or
+  arbitrary context into APS.
+- Remove precise `device.geo.lat` and `device.geo.lon` even if available.
+- Do not forward browser cookies or arbitrary X-\* headers to APS.
+- Request and response payloads may be logged only at TRACE.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Response validation and unified bid mapping
+
+Parse the response envelope as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields,
+and deserialize or validate each `seatbid[].bid[]` independently. This preserves valid
+siblings when one bid has a wrong field type while retaining extension maps needed for
+APS creative metadata. Syntactically invalid JSON still fails the whole response.
+
+### 8.1 Response-level validation
+
+- HTTP `204 No Content` is a normal APS no-bid and returns before body collection or
+  JSON parsing.
+- Other non-success HTTP statuses produce provider `Error` without reflecting the body.
+- Body collection remains capped by `UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES`.
+- Invalid JSON, including a non-representable numeric literal such as an overflowing
+  exponent under the repository's default `serde_json` configuration, or a legacy
+  `contextual` envelope is an error with safe reason `unexpected_response_shape`.
+- Empty/missing `seatbid`, or seat bids containing no bids, is a normal no-bid.
+- Currency must be absent or case-insensitive USD. A non-USD response is dropped
+  because Trusted Server has no currency conversion before winner comparison.
+- Top-level `ext.userSyncs` is ignored and must not enter diagnostics or renderer data.
+
+### 8.2 Bid-level validation
+
+A bid is eligible only when:
+
+- `impid` matches a slot in the request;
+- `price` is finite and non-negative;
+- `mtype` is absent or banner-compatible;
+- `w` and `h` are both present, non-zero, safely convert to `u32`, and are compatible
+  with the requested slot; and
+- it has APS `ext.creativeurl` plus a usable bid ID and an eligible `ext.tagtype`:
+  `iframe` is eligible, while `script` is eligible only when the server-side
+  `allow_script_creatives` capability is enabled. This check happens before candidate
+  reduction and winner selection, so a disabled or otherwise unrenderable script bid
+  cannot win and blank the slot.
+
+An APS `adm` without a valid renderer descriptor is not independently renderable in the
+normal publisher flow and must therefore be dropped. If APS supplies `adm` alongside a
+valid descriptor, remove all markup from the minimized envelope and do not copy it into
+`Bid.creative`. If controlled testing proves markup is required, stop for a separate
+security review rather than forwarding it unsanitized.
+
+`creativeurl` must be an HTTPS URL without userinfo, must not match the configured
+publisher origin, and must stay within a bounded serialized length. Validate the same
+rules again in the browser. It comes only from the HTTPS APS endpoint response, never
+from the client. Unknown tag types and recognized-but-disabled `script` bids are dropped rather than
+passed through.
+
+The pinned official adapter response fixture lacks `creativeurl` and `tagtype`; Trusted
+Server must include that fixture as an expected safe-drop test. A separate fictional
+fixture models the live runner's required extension fields. Controlled APS-account
+validation of both observed tag types remains a rollout prerequisite.
+
+### 8.3 Unified fields and APS candidate reduction
+
+Extend `Bid` with generic identifiers and a typed optional renderer:
+
+```text
+bid_id       <- OpenRTB bid.id
+ad_id        <- OpenRTB bid.adid
+creative_id  <- optional OpenRTB bid.crid
+renderer     <- typed APS renderer descriptor for every accepted APS bid
+```
+
+Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"` unconditionally. Upstream `seat` and `ext.bidder` are APS
+network metadata, not the adapter identity; normalize them only into bounded internal
+fields if an operational consumer is identified, otherwise discard them. Missing,
+numeric, or unexpected seat values do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid and never
+become `hb_bidder`.
+
+Map decoded price, currency, `impid`, dimensions, and `adomain`. Do not map APS `nurl`
+or `burl` in this issue; the vendor runner owns APS creative tracking until a separate
+notification policy is approved.
+
+Before returning `AuctionResponse`, collapse multiple valid APS candidates for the same
+impression to one candidate: highest decoded price wins, with lexicographically lowest
+bid ID as a deterministic tie-break. This produces the same APS result as direct
+winner selection and prevents the current mediator's `(provider, slot, bidder)`
+last-write-wins index from attaching another APS bid's renderer. The mediator still
+restores `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and `renderer` for that single APS candidate.
+A two-bids/same-slot/same-seat test is mandatory.
+
+### 8.4 Diagnostics
+
+`AuctionResponse.metadata` may contain only bounded aggregate fields, for example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid_count": 1,
+  "accepted_bid_count": 1,
+  "dropped_bid_count": 0,
+  "drop_reasons": {}
+}
+```
+
+Allowed reason keys are fixed enums such as:
+
+- `empty_seatbid`;
+- `unknown_impid`;
+- `invalid_price`;
+- `unsupported_currency`;
+- `unsupported_media_type`;
+- `invalid_dimensions`;
+- `missing_render_source`;
+- `unsupported_tagtype`;
+- `script_rendering_disabled`;
+- `invalid_creative_url`;
+- `render_payload_too_large`; and
+- `unexpected_response_shape`.
+
+Do not include account IDs, bid IDs, URLs, tokens, consent strings, raw extensions, or
+raw bodies in INFO/WARN diagnostics or client-facing provider summaries.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Exact APS renderer response envelope
+
+The official adapter gives `prebid-creative.js` the base64-encoded complete response
+and selected bid ID. Trusted Server instead sends an exact allowlisted envelope based
+on the fields required by the live runner observed on 2026-07-15:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid": [
+    {
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The allowlist is exact:
+
+- root: `seatbid` only;
+- selected seat object: `bid` only;
+- selected bid: `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext` only; and
+- selected bid extension: `creativeurl` and `tagtype` only.
+
+Do not include top-level ID/currency/extensions, upstream seat, `impid`, `adid`, `crid`,
+`adomain`, notifications, markup, native data, user syncs, unknown extensions, sibling
+bids, or losing seats. Unknown fields may exist transiently while the server validates
+an upstream bid, but they are discarded before renderer construction.
+
+Serialize the allowlisted object once, enforce a 256 KiB pre-base64 maximum, then
+base64 encode with the standard alphabet. Store it in the typed renderer descriptor,
+not general metadata. If the envelope exceeds the cap, drop the bid as non-renderable.
+If controlled APS testing proves the exact envelope insufficient, stop and review the
+specific missing field with APS; do not widen it or fall back to the full response
+automatically.
+
+A single fictional golden fixture under the TSJS test fixtures is the source of truth:
+Rust serialization must equal it, and TypeScript parsing/validation/render-dispatch
+tests must consume that same file.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Renderer descriptor and browser wire formats
+
+### 10.1 Typed descriptor
+
+The Rust and TypeScript contracts represent the same versioned data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "aps",
+  "version": 1,
+  "accountId": "example-account-id",
+  "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "tagType": "iframe",
+  "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+  "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+  "width": 300,
+  "height": 250
+}
+```
+
+Only `iframe` and `script` are valid tag-type values. `creativeId` is optional and is
+omitted when APS does not return `crid`; the live runner does not consume it. Version
+mismatch is fail-closed. The APS account identifier is not a secret, but it must still
+be safely serialized and must never be hardcoded from a real account in repository
+fixtures.
+
+### 10.2 `POST /auction`
+
+For APS renderer bids, the OpenRTB response bid contains the complete descriptor:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "impid": "fictional-slot",
+  "price": 1.23,
+  "crid": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "w": 300,
+  "h": 250,
+  "ext": {
+    "trusted_server": {
+      "renderer": {
+        "type": "aps",
+        "version": 1,
+        "accountId": "example-account-id",
+        "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+        "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+        "tagType": "iframe",
+        "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+        "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+        "width": 300,
+        "height": 250
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`creativeId`/`crid` are omitted together when APS does not return `crid`. `adm` is
+omitted, not serialized as an empty string. Ordinary non-APS `adm` behavior is
+unchanged.
+
+### 10.3 Publisher navigation and page-bids
+
+`build_bid_map` adds the same complete descriptor as a normal, non-debug `renderer`
+property for APS winners:
+
+```json
+{
+  "fictional-slot": {
+    "hb_pb": "1.23",
+    "hb_bidder": "aps",
+    "hb_adid": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+    "renderer": {
+      "type": "aps",
+      "version": 1,
+      "accountId": "example-account-id",
+      "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+      "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+      "tagType": "iframe",
+      "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+      "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+      "width": 300,
+      "height": 250
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`hb_adid` priority becomes:
+
+1. PBS Cache UUID for cached Prebid bids;
+2. APS renderer selected bid ID;
+3. existing OpenRTB `adid` fallback.
+
+The complete renderer object is emitted only for the winning bid. It is not gated by
+`debug.inject_adm_for_testing`, and general bid metadata remains debug-only.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Browser rendering design
+
+### 11.1 Static renderer endpoint
+
+Do not put the APS initializer and runner into publisher-origin `srcdoc`. Register APS
+as a proxy-capable integration (without an automatic JS bundle) and serve a static
+renderer document at:
+
+```text
+GET /integrations/aps/renderer
+```
+
+The document contains only static Trusted Server initialization code and the fixed
+`https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js` script. Before loading the
+vendor runner, the static initializer reads a strictly encoded, cryptographically
+random per-frame nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it as the expected nonce,
+and removes the fragment from visible history. The fragment is not sent in the HTTP
+request. It then receives one versioned renderer descriptor from its embedding parent
+through `postMessage`, verifies `event.source === parent`, and requires the message
+nonce to equal the independently established expected nonce. After the first accepted
+message it removes the listener, initializes the account-keyed APS queue, dispatches
+`CustomEvent("prebid/creative/render", { detail: { aaxResponse, seatBidId } })`, and only
+then dynamically inserts the fixed runner script. On runner load or failure it sends a
+source-bound response carrying the accepted nonce. Because the sandboxed document has
+an opaque origin, both directions use `"*"` as the `postMessage` target origin and rely
+on the exact child/parent window, source checks, one-time fragment-bound nonce, and full
+descriptor validation.
+
+The descriptor is data, never generated script text. No APS-provided HTML, script text,
+URL, account value, or decoded JSON is concatenated into an executable context. The
+vendor runner URL is a compile-time constant. The response carries
+`Content-Type: text/html`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
+`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and a CSP `sandbox` directive containing the
+approved tokens without `allow-same-origin`. The response-level sandbox preserves the
+opaque boundary even if another embedding path omits its iframe sandbox attribute.
+
+### 11.2 Opaque outer sandbox
+
+Both direct and GPT flows load the static endpoint through `iframe.src`, not `srcdoc`,
+with this outer sandbox:
+
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+The outer boundary deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`. The live APS runner grants
+`allow-same-origin` to the nested frame it creates, but a descendant cannot relax an
+ancestor sandbox's origin restriction. Therefore both `iframe` and fetched-HTML
+`script` creatives remain under the outer opaque-origin boundary rather than inheriting
+the publisher origin.
+
+This is a compatibility hypothesis, not an assumption: the current runner also touches
+`frameElement` while resizing. `tagtype=script` is rejected server-side before winner
+selection while `allow_script_creatives` is false. The capability may be enabled for an
+isolated test cohort only after a real-browser test proves that the fixed runner renders
+and resizes correctly without publisher-origin access, and may be enabled beyond that
+cohort only after controlled-account validation. If either test fails, keep the gate
+off and obtain an APS-supported isolated renderer page/origin; do not add
+`allow-same-origin` back to the outer boundary.
+
+### 11.3 Browser validation of consumed data
+
+Before creating or messaging the renderer iframe, TSJS must decode `aaxResponse` and
+validate the exact envelope consumed by the vendor runner:
+
+- root contains only one `seatbid` entry;
+- that entry contains only one `bid`;
+- the bid has exactly `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`;
+- `ext` has exactly `creativeurl` and `tagtype`;
+- bid ID, dimensions, creative URL, and tag type equal the duplicated descriptor fields;
+- price is finite and non-negative;
+- tag type is `iframe`, or `script` from a response the server emitted only after its
+  default-off `allow_script_creatives` eligibility gate;
+- creative URL is bounded HTTPS without credentials and does not match the publisher
+  origin; and
+- no markup, notifications, syncs, or unknown fields are present.
+
+Validation happens before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation()`, iframe creation,
+or message dispatch. The static renderer document repeats the structural/message
+validation as defense in depth.
+
+### 11.4 Direct `/auction` flow
+
+`parseAuctionResponse` accepts either ordinary sanitized `adm` or a structurally typed
+renderer. The request loop performs the full decoded-envelope validation, dispatches a
+valid APS descriptor to `renderApsCreative`, and sends ordinary markup to
+`renderCreativeInline`.
+
+`renderApsCreative` generates at least 128 bits of randomness with
+`crypto.getRandomValues`, base64url-encodes it, and binds it to the static renderer URL
+as a fragment before assigning `iframe.src`. After load, it posts the validated
+descriptor with the same nonce, then waits for an exact source- and nonce-bound runner
+ready acknowledgement before clearing existing content or showing the frame. A runner
+failure or bounded acknowledgement timeout removes the hidden frame. A malformed
+descriptor, malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, replay, stale message, or runner load
+failure leaves existing slot content intact and emits a safe warning.
+
+### 11.5 GPT/page-bids flow
+
+Extend `installTsRenderBridge` while retaining the existing `Prebid Request` parsing and
+source-slot ownership validation. For a valid APS winner, return the exact serializable
+Prebid Universal Creative dynamic-renderer shape, including the supported renderer
+version. The static Trusted Server renderer source may only create the opaque outer
+iframe, load `/integrations/aps/renderer`, post the already validated descriptor, and
+resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound ready acknowledgement; APS or bidder code
+never executes in the Universal Creative renderer frame itself.
+Fixture-test this message against the deployed Universal Creative protocol rather than
+assuming a function can be structured-cloned. Include a trusted absolute
+`rendererUrl`, computed from the publisher page origin by TSJS, because a relative URL
+inside the GAM creative would resolve against the GAM origin. The dynamic renderer
+must accept only that data field and the validated APS descriptor.
+
+Call `stopImmediatePropagation()` only after ownership and complete envelope validation
+succeed. Preserve in-flight render deduplication, but do not invoke the generic
+win/billing beacon path for APS. Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache branches remain
+unchanged.
+
+When the winning bid has a Trusted Server APS renderer, do not call
+`apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The native APS SDK may remain installed by the CMS for other
+cohorts, but it is not the renderer or bid source for that TS winner.
+
+### 11.6 CSP and real-browser gate
+
+Because the outer frame navigates to a real response, it uses that response's CSP
+instead of inheriting publisher `srcdoc` CSP. The renderer endpoint starts from this
+explicit ad-compatible policy, tightened if controlled testing permits:
+
+```text
+default-src 'none';
+script-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+connect-src https:;
+frame-src https:;
+img-src https: data:;
+media-src https: blob:;
+style-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+font-src https: data:;
+```
+
+The publisher must permit `frame-src 'self'` for the direct renderer endpoint. The GAM
+Universal Creative context must also permit framing the absolute publisher renderer
+URL. The broad HTTPS resource allowances apply only inside the opaque sandbox and are
+required because the APS runner and bidder HTML may load arbitrary HTTPS ad resources.
+
+Add a Playwright test under `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser` with a
+restrictive publisher CSP. It must prove the renderer endpoint loads, APS initializes,
+both tag types obey the outer opaque-origin boundary, a fictional script creative
+cannot access `top.document`, and malformed descriptors do not clear the slot. The server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate stays false during normal winner
+selection until this test passes. It may then be enabled only for the controlled test
+cohort needed to validate real rendering and remains false elsewhere until that
+validation also passes.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Sanitization and security invariants
+
+- `sanitize_creative_html` remains mandatory for every ordinary
+  `Bid.creative`/`adm` value.
+- Its element, attribute, URI, size, and fail-closed rules do not change.
+- APS executable rendering is a separate typed capability; it is never disguised as
+  sanitized `adm`.
+- Only a server-validated APS descriptor with an exact browser-validated envelope can
+  select that capability.
+- Unknown providers cannot request the APS renderer through arbitrary metadata.
+- The server never fetches `creativeurl`, avoiding an SSRF/redirect/content-type
+  service in the auction path.
+- Server and browser both require a bounded HTTPS creative URL without credentials and
+  reject the publisher origin.
+- APS/bidder execution occurs only below an outer opaque-origin sandbox. No test may
+  treat absence of `innerHTML` alone as proof; cover `srcdoc`, script text,
+  `document.write`, and message-driven sinks.
+- Existing same-origin/no-CORS-preflight protection for page-bids remains unchanged.
+- Per-user injected HTML stays private/non-shared, and page-bids stays no-store.
+- Existing upstream body caps and auction deadlines remain in force.
+
+---
+
+## 13. APS notification policy
+
+Do not map APS `nurl` or `burl` into the shared browser bid map in this issue. The live
+APS runner owns creative tracking, the official fixture does not establish that Trusted
+Server should fire OpenRTB notifications, and the direct `/auction` path has no matching
+notification lifecycle.
+
+This also prevents an APS-controlled URL from causing a credentialed same-origin POST
+through the current generic `sendBeacon`/fetch helper. If APS later requires Trusted
+Server notification delivery, design it separately with one explicit owner, bounded
+HTTPS URLs, publisher-origin rejection, omitted credentials, no referrer, macro policy,
+and equivalent direct/GPT tests. Existing non-APS notification behavior is unchanged by
+#764.
+
+---
+
+## 14. User sync policy
+
+APS user sync is explicitly out of scope:
+
+- ignore `BidResponse.ext.userSyncs`;
+- do not put sync URLs into `AuctionResponse.metadata`;
+- do not include them in the minimized renderer envelope;
+- do not fetch them at the edge; and
+- do not add image/iframe sync behavior to TSJS.
+
+A future implementation requires a separate spec covering Purpose 1, regional policy,
+URL allowlisting, deduplication, browser timing, and observability.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Logging and telemetry
+
+- Request/response bodies: TRACE only.
+- Routine request log: provider and eligible slot count, without account ID.
+- Routine response log: status, elapsed time, accepted count, and bounded dropped
+  count.
+- WARN: static condition plus slot/request-safe context; never include response body,
+  creative URL, bid token, EID, consent string, or account ID.
+- Client-facing provider summaries: aggregate reason keys/counts only.
+- Existing auction telemetry receives decoded price, currency, ad domain, and ad ID.
+  It must not receive the encoded renderer envelope.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Rollout and rollback
+
+### 16.1 Controlled rollout
+
+1. Implement server parsing and exact fictional fixtures with APS disabled and
+   `allow_script_creatives = false` by default.
+2. Prove disabled script bids are dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+3. Pass the restrictive-CSP Playwright and opaque-origin access tests using the local
+   fictional script runner while the server gate remains false for normal traffic.
+4. Configure a controlled APS test account out of band.
+5. Enable Trusted Server APS only for a test cohort, disable native APS demand there,
+   and temporarily set `allow_script_creatives = true` only for that isolated cohort.
+6. Verify the official fixture safe-drops and a real account returns the unverified
+   `creativeurl`/`tagtype` contract.
+7. Verify both observed tag types through direct and GPT paths. If script cannot operate
+   below the opaque outer sandbox, set the gate false again and stop.
+8. Confirm the exact allowlisted envelope works with `prebid-creative.js`.
+9. Confirm GAM line items and the Universal Creative route request `hb_bidder=aps` and
+   the selected `hb_adid`.
+10. Obtain APS confirmation for Fastly/edge-originated production traffic before broad
+    rollout.
+
+### 16.2 Rollback
+
+- Immediate traffic rollback: set `[integrations.aps].enabled = false`.
+- Restore native APS participation for the affected cohort if required.
+- Binary rollback remains available if the old provider must temporarily be restored.
+- The new code does not retain a dormant legacy parser or protocol switch.

+
+---
+
+## 18. Acceptance criteria
+
+1. APS receives the specified OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot with
+   `topframe=0` and `secure=1`.
+2. Request fixtures prove trimmed account/SDK/USD, floors, trusted page/device context,
+   consent/EIDs, existing privacy registrations, and omission of precise coordinates
+   and unsupported COPPA claims.
+3. HTTP 204 and empty `seatbid` are no-bids; malformed/legacy responses are safely
+   diagnosed.
+4. The official no-renderer fixture safe-drops; every accepted APS bid has present,
+   valid `w`/`h` and the unverified-but-validated URL/tag-type renderer contract.
+5. `Bid.bidder`/`hb_bidder` are always `aps`, independent of upstream seat.
+6. Multiple APS bids for one impression reduce deterministically to one candidate, and
+   mediation cannot restore another candidate's renderer.
+7. APS can win without a mediator and is rejected normally below the floor.
+8. The browser envelope contains exactly the allowlisted fields and matches the full
+   descriptor; Rust and TypeScript share one golden fixture.
+9. The outer renderer iframe has no `allow-same-origin`; descendant iframe/script
+   creatives cannot access publisher DOM in the restrictive-CSP Playwright test.
+10. `allow_script_creatives` defaults false; while false, script bids are dropped before
+    candidate reduction and cannot win. It is enabled only under the staged browser and
+    controlled-account policy; otherwise script remains fail-closed.
+11. The renderer binds a one-time nonce through the iframe URL fragment before
+    messaging and rejects malformed, mismatched, replayed, or stale messages before
+    clearing content or stopping another renderer handler.
+12. Ordinary non-APS `adm` sanitization and PBS Cache rendering remain unchanged.
+13. APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` browser delivery remain absent.
+14. Native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for a TS APS renderer winner.
+15. Raw request/response bodies remain TRACE-only.
+16. All repository CI, adapter, JS, browser, parity, and docs-format gates pass.

+## 19. Known risks and follow-ups
+
+| Risk                                                                   | Handling                                                                                                                                                                    |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| APS has not confirmed production Fastly/edge traffic                   | Continue implementation/testing; block broad rollout pending confirmation.                                                                                                  |
+| Official fixture and live runner disagree on creative extension fields | Safe-drop the official fixture, pin the observed runner hash/date as evidence only, and require controlled-account validation.                                              |
+| Exact envelope may omit a field used by a future runner                | Stop and review with APS; never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response automatically.                                                                    |
+| Fixed unversioned vendor script can change independently               | Monitor the real-browser contract and require review before changing URL, envelope, CSP, or sandbox behavior.                                                               |
+| Runner may fail without outer `allow-same-origin`                      | Keep the server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate false unless the opaque-boundary Playwright and controlled-account tests pass; never restore publisher-origin execution. |
+| Broad ad-compatible CSP permits arbitrary HTTPS resources              | Scope it to the opaque renderer document; publisher CSP only needs to frame the same-origin renderer endpoint.                                                              |
+| Existing native APS and TS APS can duplicate demand                    | Cohort-gate and disable native APS participation wherever TS APS is enabled.                                                                                                |
+| APS notifications may be required for billing                          | Do not guess; vendor runner owns tracking until APS approves a separately secured notification contract.                                                                    |

Subject: [PATCH 031/494] Run SSAT inline creative through the sanitize/rewrite
 boundary and decode cached bids

The inline-adm path fed raw bid.creative into window.tsjs.bids, bypassing the
creative-processing boundary the /auction path applies (sanitize_creative_html
then rewrite_creative_html, which also enforces the 1 MiB creative cap). Run the
same boundary in build_bid_map before inserting adm; omit adm when the creative
is rejected so the bridge falls back to the PBS Cache coordinates. Thread
&Settings through build_bid_map and write_bids_to_state for rewrite_creative_html.

The pbRender bridge's PBS Cache fallback forwarded the raw GET body as the ad,
but PBS Cache returns a JSON bid object and the Prebid Universal Creative renders
bidObject.adm. Add extractCachedAdm to parse the cached bid and extract its adm,
keep raw-markup compatibility, and decline to render when no adm is present.

Add hostile and oversized creative coverage in Rust, and realistic
returnCreative=false, malformed, and raw-markup cache-response coverage in JS.
Update the inject_adm_for_testing, AuctionBidData, GPT bridge, and design-spec
docs to distinguish production inline adm from the testing-only debug_bid path.

Subject: [PATCH 032/494] Flush streaming body encoder per chunk so output
 decodes before finish
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

BodyStreamEncoder::encode_chunk wrote each processed chunk into the
gzip/deflate/brotli codec and drained the inner buffer, but never
flushed the codec. Compressors buffer internally: write_all alone left
gzip emitting at most its 10-byte header and deflate/brotli emitting
nothing until finish(). Fastly commits the response headers early, so
the browser saw an open stream with no decodable HTML until the entire
origin transfer completed — the FCP regression tracked in #849.

Sync-flush the flate2 encoders (Flush::Sync — byte-aligned, no trailer)
and emit a brotli flush marker (BROTLI_OPERATION_FLUSH) after each
write. finish() still writes the terminating trailer, so the full
stream stays valid. Add a regression test that decodes the first chunk
with a flushed-but-unfinished decoder for every codec.

Subject: [PATCH 033/494] Stream the ready prefix before collecting the held
 auction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The close-body hold step processed a chunk into ready segments and the
held closing tail together, but awaited collect_stream_auction() before
returning any of them. When </body> landed in the first source chunk
(common for small pages), the client received no HTML until the auction
finished; for larger pages the whole prefix from the close-containing
chunk was delayed — contradicting the contract that only the </body>
tail is held while the auction rides alongside transfer.

Split hold_step_decoded_chunk so it returns the ready prefix plus a
close_found flag without collecting, and move collection plus held-tail
processing into a new hold_collect_close_tail. Both the lazy Fastly
stream and the write-sink driver now emit the ready prefix first, then
await collection, then emit the tail. Add a regression test asserting
the prefix is ready with close_found set while the auction is still
uncollected (ad_bids_state stays None until the tail step).

Subject: [PATCH 034/494] Correct Content-Length framing for bodiless 204/205
 responses
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Both publisher finalizers dropped the body for bodiless responses but
kept the origin Content-Length verbatim, including a possible nonzero
value. RFC 9110 §8.6 forbids Content-Length on 204, and a nonzero length
on a now-empty 205 (§15.4.6) is invalid; inconsistent framing risks
interoperability failures and response-splitting across intermediaries.

Add make_response_bodiless: it empties the body and removes
Content-Length for 204, normalizes it to 0 for 205, and preserves it for
HEAD and 304 (which legitimately advertise the GET representation
length). Call it from the buffered-unmodified arm of both
buffer_publisher_response_async and publisher_response_into_streaming_response.

Split the combined bodiless regression test into per-status expectations
and add the matching coverage for the buffered finalizer.

Subject: [PATCH 035/494] Emit abandoned-auction telemetry for bodiless
 dispatched responses
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A conditional navigation can dispatch a server-side auction and receive
a processable HTML 304 that classification routes to Stream. Both
finalizers' bodiless branches logged a warning and returned, dropping
params.dispatched_auction without emit_abandoned_auction — so the SSP
work and quota consumption had no terminal auction event, leaving a gap
in auction observability on a legitimate conditional-request path.

Take the dispatched auction in the bodiless branch of both
buffer_publisher_response_async and publisher_response_into_streaming_response
and await emit_abandoned_auction(..., "bodiless_response") with the
retained observation, matching the processor-init-error path. Add a
recording-telemetry-sink test (via a new test_support helper) asserting
both finalizers emit the bodiless_response abandonment for a 304 with a
dispatched auction.

Subject: [PATCH 036/494] Apply rustfmt after the edition-2024 merge

The merge moved core to edition 2024, whose rustfmt sorts use-imports
case-sensitively (lowercase items last) and rewraps long lines. Reformat
the conflict-resolved imports and the new test assertions to match; no
behavior change.

Subject: [PATCH 037/494] Harden Fastly backend naming and transport-timeout
 quantization

Address the auction transport-timeout review findings:

- Derive dynamic backend names from a bounded readable prefix plus a
  SHA-256 digest of the complete backend spec, so distinct specs never
  alias to one name. Name equality now implies spec equality, making
  NameInUse reuse provably safe, and the name is bounded to Fastly's
  255-char limit regardless of host or discriminator length.
- Bound budget-derived transport-timeout cardinality with a globally
  finite ladder: keep the 250ms quantum through 2000ms, then snap larger
  budgets to a small fixed set of coarse rungs so a large configured
  ceiling can no longer mint hundreds of dynamic backends.
- Reject duplicate configured providers at startup, and check the
  predicted backend name before request_bids fires the outbound send,
  retaining the post-launch check as defense against a provider that
  resolves to an unexpected name.

Subject: [PATCH 039/494] Update predict_name tests for digest-based backend
 names

The backend name now carries a SHA-256 digest suffix, so the three
platform predict_name tests that pinned the exact/ending name string no
longer hold. Assert the readable body via starts_with/contains instead.
These were missed earlier because the local run filtered the platform
suite too narrowly; CI aborted on the first panic.

 - **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
+- Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

Subject: [PATCH 042/494] Trace winning auction bids to rendered creatives on
 the page

Mint a trace tuple (auction_id, slot_id, bidder, bid/creative IDs,
adm_hash) server-side and carry it end-to-end on both render paths so a
creative in the DOM can be joined back to the winning bid in server
logs.

Server: Bid gains crid and bid_id (extracted from PBS, restored through
the mock mediator); adm_trace_hash() computes a 16-hex SHA-256 prefix of
the creative markup; build_bid_map emits hb_auction_id/hb_crid/
hb_adm_hash for SSAT and SPA page-bids; /auction responses carry
bid.ext.ts = {auction_id, adm_hash} and pass through upstream crid and
bid id with the legacy synthetic fallback; the orchestrator logs one
"auction winner:" line per winning bid on both the sync and dispatched
collect paths.

Client: new core/trace.ts writes a per-slot render registry to
window.tsjs.renders, stamps slot elements and iframes with data-ts-*
attributes (removing stale ones on re-render), and fires a
tsjs:adRendered CustomEvent. renderCreativeInline, the GPT
slotRenderEnded handler, and the pbRender bridge all record and stamp;
the bridge captures the slot element at message-receipt time so an SPA
navigation during a PBS Cache fetch cannot stamp the new route's slot
with stale data.

 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.
+- Preserved APS renderer capabilities through the client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, allowing its generated `hb_adid` to render through GAM and Prebid Universal Creative instead of producing an empty creative.

Subject: [PATCH 044/494] Emit absolute first-party URLs for inline SSAT
 creatives

The inline `adm` in window.tsjs.bids is rendered by the Prebid Universal
Creative inside GAM's iframe (f.srcdoc = d.ad), a foreign origin.
rewrite_creative_html emitted root-relative /first-party/... URLs that
resolve against GAM's origin there and 404, and injected the tsjs bundle
into every creative iframe.

Add rewrite_inline_creative_html: emits absolute
https://<publisher.domain>/first-party/... URLs (resolve regardless of the
document base URL or whether PUC honors the custom renderer) and skips the
tsjs bundle injection. Route build_bid_map's inline adm through it; the
first-party /auction path keeps the root-relative rewriter. One shared
rewriter via base_origin/inject_tsjs. Add tests for the absolute-URL shape
and absent tsjs injection at the creative and build_bid_map boundaries.

 - Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)

+## Debug mode
+
+Set `debug = true` under `[integrations.aps]` to include the direct APS HTTP exchange in the APS provider summary returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "debug": {
+      "httpcalls": {
+        "aps": [
+          {

+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This follows the Prebid Server `metadata.debug.httpcalls` representation. APS makes one direct HTTP call per auction, so the map uses the provider key `aps` with one entry. Request and captured response bodies are strings, and header values are arrays so repeated headers are preserved. If a non-success response body cannot be read within the existing 2 MiB upstream limit, `responsebody` is omitted rather than reported as an empty body. APS does not add PBS-only `resolvedrequest` or `bidstatus` fields.
+
+The debug exchange is emitted for successful responses, `204 No Content`, malformed response bodies, and non-success HTTP statuses. Transport failures and auction timeouts happen before an HTTP response reaches the parser and continue to use the orchestrator's normal error metadata.

Subject: [PATCH 050/494] Add /_ts/trace overlay to confirm creatives render on
 the page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Introduce an operator-armed render-trace overlay so the winning auction
recorded in window.tsjs.renders can be confirmed visually on the page,
on both the SSAT/GAM and /auction paths.

Server: GET /_ts/trace toggles a host-only ts-trace cookie and redirects
to /, gated by the new [debug] trace_route_enabled flag (404 when off).
Registered on all four adapters (Fastly/Cloudflare/Axum/Spin) and
documented in trusted-server.example.toml.

Client: while the cookie is armed, TSJS draws a floating
Google-Publisher-Console-style panel summarising every traced slot and a
confirmation badge on each genuinely-rendered creative. The panel reports
honest per-slot status — ok / hidden / gam-only / empty — derived from
separate signals (gamEmpty from GAM's slotRenderEnded, injected = whether
TS actually placed the creative, visible = ancestor-aware visibility) so
it never overclaims a render GAM merely fired. Clicking a row copies the
full record; the badge is shown only on ok slots.

Subject: [PATCH 051/494] Trace client-side /auction renders and stop
 overclaiming GAM renders
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The prod page runs two independent auctions against the same placements:
the one-time SSAT auction on navigation, and an ongoing client-side
/auction driven by GAM refresh through the Prebid.js trustedServer
adapter. Only the SSAT path was traced, so every Prebid render was
invisible to the overlay.

Instrument the /auction path at its authoritative render signal. The
adapter now forwards the server-side trace tuple to Prebid as
meta.tsAuctionId / meta.tsAdmHash, and a bidWon listener records an
`auction`-path entry (servedFrom: prebid) keyed by the ad-unit code with
that auction's own ID, hash and visibility. Only bids carrying
meta.tsAuctionId — i.e. the trustedServer seat — are traced, so a
client-side bidder's render is never attributed to Trusted Server. The
listener only observes and stamps; it does not touch Prebid's rendering.

Also fix an overclaim in the SSAT path: with inject_adm_for_testing off
there is no adm to inject, which left `injected` unset and let
panelStatus fall through to `ok` — claiming a confirmed TS render for a
slot TS had merely targeted. Targeting-only renders now report
`injected: false`, and `ok` requires an explicit confirmed placement so
any future path that omits the signal degrades to gam-only rather than
silently claiming success.

Subject: [PATCH 052/494] Fix ext.trusted_server.request_host to use the
 publisher domain

On the SSAT proxy path the browser calls /auction against the
trusted-server edge domain (e.g. ts.example.com), which was leaking
into ext.trusted_server.request_host on the outbound Prebid Server
request. That field must track the publisher's own domain instead,
matching site.domain/publisher.domain and what PBS's trusted_server
verification module expects.

Subject: [PATCH 053/494] Recover GPT slots orphaned by a client re-render
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A client framework can replace the ad divs after GPT slots were bound to
them: the publisher's React app serves ids like `ad-header-0-_R_ssr_` and
swaps them for client ids (`ad-header-0-_r_1_`) during hydration. GPT is
left holding slots whose element no longer exists — GAM reports
"defineSlot was called without a corresponding DIV", still fetches a
creative for them, and the bid is silently wasted with nowhere to render.

Waiting for the divs to merely exist cannot help, because at adInit()
time the server-rendered divs are present and are only later replaced.
So rather than delaying the initial ad request, detect the swap after the
fact: a debounced MutationObserver armed after adInit() looks for
TS-defined slots whose element left the document and re-runs adInit(),
which destroys the orphans and re-binds against the live DOM — reusing
the publisher's own slot for that div when they have since defined one.

Bounded deliberately, since each re-bind re-requests the affected slots:
a 250ms quiet period, a 5s watch window (measured: the swap lands ~2-3s
in, so the existing 2s SPA wait would miss it), and at most two re-binds
per page load, with the attempt budget shared across the adInit() the
watcher itself triggers so it cannot loop.

Verified against the live page through the dev proxy: two orphaned slots
were detected and re-bound, leaving zero orphans, with all three slots
tracing to live client-id elements.

(cherry picked from commit e1badbb92af80d6544a351b3fcd654e09e4191c0)

Subject: [PATCH 054/494] Show the render trace as a timeline and badge every
 rendered slot
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The panel collapsed each slot to a single row with a ×N counter, so a
publisher page that refreshes its slots on every render (autoblog's
ad-service refreshes from its own slotRenderEnded handler) showed a
climbing number instead of what actually happened. Keep an append-only
`window.tsjs.renderLog` alongside the per-slot `renders` registry and
render it newest-first, one entry per render, with a wall-clock time and
a `#N` sequence. The log is trimmed to the most recent entries so a page
that refreshes indefinitely cannot grow it without bound; `renders` still
collapses per slot for "did this ever render" checks.

Also badge every slot that actually shows a creative, not just confirmed
TS renders. Gating the badge on `ok` meant production — where
inject_adm_for_testing is off and TS only applies GAM targeting — never
displayed one at all, since every slot is honestly `gam-only`. The badge
now carries its status colour and mark: green ✓ for a confirmed TS
render, blue ◐ for gam-only. Slots with nothing on screen (`empty`) or
nothing visible (`hidden`) stay unbadged, as there is no creative to
label.

(cherry picked from commit 013f5e64646d80f101789e73e3786fcb37558f62)

Subject: [PATCH 055/494] Stop attributing GAM refreshes to the finished
 server-side auction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The server-side auction runs once per navigation, but the slotRenderEnded
handler read the winning bid out of window.tsjs.bids on every render. That
map never changes, so each publisher-driven GAM refresh re-stamped the
page-load auction's id, bidder and adm hash and labelled itself `ssat` —
claiming a render the server-side auction never produced. A slot refreshed
six times over a minute showed six `ssat` rows all pointing at one auction.

Scope the claim to the render that actually consumes it: adInit arms a
per-slot flag when it applies bid targeting, and the first slotRenderEnded
clears it. Later renders are recorded as `gam-refresh` with the stale
attribution dropped from both the record and the DOM markers, since GAM
re-requested the slot on its own and the returned creative cannot be traced
to any Trusted Server auction.

These rows are where the client-side /auction path will report real
attribution via Prebid's bidWon once that bundle ships; labelling them
`ssat` hid that gap instead of showing it. The /auction recording path is
unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 056/494] Number every render and keep GAM's fill signal on
 refresh rows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three trace-panel fixes, all surfaced by the gam-refresh rows the previous
commit introduced:

- Restore the `gam:filled`/`gam:empty` marker on gam-refresh rows. It was
  gated on `path === 'ssat'`, which hid GAM's own fill signal on exactly the
  rows where "did GAM fill it this time" is the whole question.
- Stop rendering absent attribution as `? · ?` and `auction ?`. An
  unattributed GAM refresh carries no bidder/hash/auction id by design, so
  the row now says `no TS attribution` and drops the auction segment rather
  than looking like a failed lookup.
- Give each render a page-global `seq`, shown as `#N` on both the panel row
  and the on-creative badge so the two point at each other, and mark the row
  still live for its slot as `◂ current`. The per-slot render count keeps its
  own `×N`. seq is module-scoped, not stored on window.tsjs, so a re-executed
  bundle restarts the sequence instead of handing two renders one number.

The visible row text already says "no TS attribution" for a gam-refresh, but
the badge title and row hover tooltip still rendered the same absent fields
as `?`, which reads like a failed lookup rather than "there is nothing to
attribute here by design". Switch both to `—`, matching the `gam_empty ?? '—'`
convention the row tooltip already used elsewhere in the same list.

Subject: [PATCH 058/494] Trace SSAT creatives the Universal Creative bridge
 renders inline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The pbRender bridge has two branches for serving a winning SSAT bid into
GAM's Universal Creative: fetch from PBS Cache, or use `bid.adm` directly
when present (added by the SSAT inline-creative work, and the only path
production actually exercises for bidders that carry markup inline). The
PBS Cache branch calls recordBridgeRender after replying; the inline-adm
branch replied, fired win/billing beacons, and logged success, but never
called it — so this render path, the strongest confirmation signal SSAT
has (TS supplies the exact bytes GAM's own creative asked for by name),
was invisible to the trace panel. Every SSAT row capped at gam-only even
when this branch was serving real creative.

Add the missing call, matching the PBS Cache branch's placement. Add
regression coverage on both branches — neither had a trace assertion
before, so this gap could recur silently on either one.

Subject: [PATCH 059/494] Fall back to the OpenRTB bid id for hb_adid when
 cache_id and ad_id are absent
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Confirmed live on autoblog: Kargo's response carries neither a Prebid Cache
UUID nor an `adid`, so hb_adid was omitted for every SSAT bid from that
bidder. That broke the pbRender bridge's reverse lookup (adId -> hb_adid) for
GAM's Universal Creative postMessage protocol — verified in the browser that
GAM sends real 'Prebid Request' messages with real adIds on this account,
but window.tsjs.bids[slot].hb_adid was undefined for all three winning bids,
so the bridge could never match any of them. Confirmed rendering (injected:
true) was structurally unreachable for this bidder regardless of what GAM
did.

bid.bid_id (the OpenRTB bid's own `id`, always present per spec) already
flows through the pipeline unused for this purpose. It is unique per bid
instance rather than a creative identifier, but that is exactly what hb_adid
needs here: a stable value GAM's Universal Creative echoes back so the
bridge can find the winning bid. Add it as the last-resort fallback, after
cache_id, the APS renderer's bid id, and ad_id — all three still take
priority where present, locked in by test.

Subject: [PATCH 061/494] Use configured publisher domain for navigation-path
 auction requests

build_auction_request derived publisher.domain, site.domain, and the page
URL host from the incoming request Host header. On the SSAT proxy path that
header is the trusted-server edge host (e.g. the staging domain), which then
leaked into the outbound OpenRTB bid request and, through it, into injected
creatives and the IAS brand-safety pixel.

Source these fields from settings.publisher.domain instead, matching what
convert_tsjs_to_auction_request already does on the /auction endpoint path.

Closes #936

Subject: [PATCH 062/494] Resolve pbRender bid by requesting slot, not first
 hb_adid match

hb_adid is not unique per bid: absent PBS Cache it falls back to a
creative id a bidder may reuse across slots (observed: three IX bids
sharing one id). The bridge matched the first bid whose hb_adid equalled
the requested adId, then rejected on the slot-ownership guard, so every
slot but the first rendered blank.

Resolve the bid by the requesting slot and verify its hb_adid matches
the request, so each slot renders its own creative regardless of
duplicate ids. The adId check still blocks a slot A iframe from pulling
slot B's creative and beacons.

Subject: [PATCH 063/494] Size inline creative render from the winning bid
 dimensions

The pbRender bridge sized every inline response from the first configured
slot format, while the winning creative's own width/height were emitted
only inside the testing-only debug_bid. A multi-size slot whose winner is
not the first format therefore rendered at the wrong size (clipping or
whitespace).

Emit w/h in the normal bid map and AuctionBidData, and prefer them in the
inline bridge response, falling back to the first slot format only when
absent.

Subject: [PATCH 064/494] Expand ${AUCTION_PRICE} before rewriting inline
 creatives
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The inline render path forwarded adm without resolving the auction-price
macro. URL rewriting then serialized query pairs, encoding the literal
${AUCTION_PRICE} into %24%7BAUCTION_PRICE%7D inside the signed proxy/click
URL — so trackers received an encoded macro rather than the clearing
price, and signing locked the wrong value.

Add expand_auction_price_macro and call it from build_bid_map before
sanitize_creative_html and rewrite_inline_creative_html, using the exact
winning CPM. Only the clear-price token is expanded; the encrypted
${AUCTION_PRICE:B64} variant is left for the DSP.

Subject: [PATCH 065/494] Build inline creative URLs from the request origin
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

rewrite_inline_creative_html hard-coded https://{publisher.domain},
discarding the incoming scheme, subdomain, and port. publisher.domain
cannot carry a port, deployments may serve a subdomain, and Axum/Viceroy
dev runs over HTTP with a port — so inline proxy/click URLs resolved
against the wrong origin with no render-time fallback.

Thread the trusted request origin (scheme://host, host including any
port) through write_bids_to_state and build_bid_map into
rewrite_inline_creative_html. Initial navigation derives it from the
buffered request host/scheme; SPA page-bids from RequestInfo. Falls back
to the configured publisher domain only when the origin is unknown.

Covers HTTP localhost with a port, a request subdomain differing from
publisher.domain, and a non-default HTTPS port.

Subject: [PATCH 066/494] Preserve cached bid dimensions and price in the PBS
 Cache fallback

extractCachedAdm reduced the cached bid to its adm string, so the cache
fallback sized every render from the first slot format and left price
macros unresolved. Replace it with parseCachedBid, which retains the
cached creative dimensions (w/h or width/height) and clearing price.

The fallback now sizes from the cached dimensions (slot format only when
absent) and expands ${AUCTION_PRICE} from the cached price before
responding. Raw-markup bodies stay supported as the adm-only variant.

Firing a cached win-notification URL is deferred: it is a billing side
effect and the exact cache field/dedup contract needs a real PBS Cache
payload to verify before emitting.

Subject: [PATCH 067/494] Reconcile SSAT inline-creative design and plan with
 implementation

The design named rewrite_creative_html and omitted the render-metadata
requirements the code now enforces; the plan's tasks were unchecked and
predated the shipped divergences. Add an "Implementation reconciliation"
section to the design (inline rewriter, request-origin URLs, w/h and
${AUCTION_PRICE} render metadata, structured cache decode) and update the
components table; mark the plan superseded-but-completed pointing at it.

 # SSAT Inline Creative Rendering — Implementation Plan
 
+> **Status: Superseded — completed with revisions.** The feature shipped on
+> `feat/ssat-render-inline-creative`. The implementation followed this plan's
+> core (always include the winning `adm`; bridge renders it locally; cache is the
+> fallback; gate the GAM-bypass on `debug_bid`) but extended it beyond what the
+> task list below captures:
+>
+> - a dedicated foreign-origin rewriter, `rewrite_inline_creative_html` (absolute
+>   URLs, no tsjs injection), replacing the `rewrite_creative_html` calls named
+>   below;
+> - inline URLs built from the **request origin** (`scheme://host:port`) threaded
+>   through `write_bids_to_state`/`build_bid_map`, not `publisher.domain`;
+> - winning creative dimensions (`w`/`h`) emitted in the bid map and used to size
+>   the render;
+> - `${AUCTION_PRICE}` expanded from the winning CPM before sanitize/rewrite/sign;
+> - a structured PBS Cache decoder (`parseCachedBid`) preserving cached dimensions
+>   and price.
+>
+> The authoritative final description is the design's "Implementation
+> reconciliation" section: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-13-ssat-render-inline-creative-design.md`.
+> The unchecked task list below is retained as historical record; it is **not** an
+> accurate map of the shipped code.
+
 > **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
 
 **Goal:** Render SSAT-winning creatives from the copy trusted-server already holds (no render-time PBS Cache round trip), while keeping GAM in the loop.

 # SSAT: render the winning creative inline (no PBS Cache round trip)
 
 **Date:** 2026-07-13
-**Status:** Design revised after review, pending final approval
+**Status:** Implemented — see "Implementation reconciliation" below for how the
+shipped code diverged from the original design.
 **Branch:** `feat/ssat-render-inline-creative`
 
+## Implementation reconciliation (final)
+
+The core design below is accurate; the shipped implementation refined it in four
+ways. Where the sections that follow still say `rewrite_creative_html`, the
+foreign-origin render context (see below) means the code uses
+`rewrite_inline_creative_html`.
+
+1. **Dedicated inline rewriter — `rewrite_inline_creative_html`.** The inline
+   `adm` is rendered by the Prebid Universal Creative inside GAM's iframe
+   (`f.srcdoc = d.ad`), a **foreign origin**. Root-relative `/first-party/…`
+   URLs would resolve against GAM and 404, so the inline rewriter emits
+   **absolute** first-party URLs and does **not** inject the `tsjs` bundle (its
+   only job — safeguarding click URLs — is moot once URLs are absolute, and the
+   bundle is pure weight in a creative iframe). `rewrite_creative_html` (root-
+   relative, tsjs-injecting) remains the `/auction` same-origin path.
+2. **Absolute URLs use the request origin, not `publisher.domain`.**
+   `rewrite_inline_creative_html` takes a `base_origin` derived from the trusted
+   request (`scheme://host`, host including any port). `publisher.domain` cannot
+   carry a port and may differ from the subdomain serving the request; it is only
+   the fallback when the request origin is unknown. Threaded through
+   `write_bids_to_state`/`build_bid_map`; SPA page-bids derives it from
+   `RequestInfo`.
+3. **Render metadata in the bid map.** `build_bid_map` emits the winning
+   creative's `w`/`h`; the bridge sizes the inline (and cache-fallback) render
+   from those, falling back to the first configured slot format only when absent.
+   `${AUCTION_PRICE}` is expanded from the exact winning CPM **before**
+   sanitize/rewrite/sign, so the clearing price — not an encoded macro — is what
+   gets signed into proxy/click URLs.
+4. **Cache fallback decodes a structured bid.** `parseCachedBid` (replacing the
+   adm-only `extractCachedAdm`) retains the cached creative's dimensions and
+   price, so the fallback sizes correctly and expands `${AUCTION_PRICE}` from the
+   cached price. Firing a cached win-notification URL is deferred pending a real
+   PBS Cache payload to verify the field and dedup contract.

Subject: [PATCH 068/494] Allow too_many_arguments on collect_stream_auction

Threading the request origin pushed the private collect_stream_auction
helper to 8 arguments. Its arguments mirror the AuctionCollectCtx fields
the caller destructures, so a parameter struct would only duplicate that
context; suppress the lint instead.

 ### Changed
 
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

 #### 3. Provider Execution
 Each registered provider (APS, Prebid, etc.) receives the `AuctionRequest` and:
-- Transforms it to their specific format (e.g., APS TAM, OpenRTB)
+- Transforms it to the provider's OpenRTB request format
 - Makes HTTP request to their endpoint
 - Parses the response
 - Returns `AuctionResponse` with `Bid[]`
 
 For example, APS provider:
 ```rust
-// Transform AuctionRequest → ApsBidRequest
-let aps_request = ApsBidRequest {
-    pub_id: "5128",
-    slots: vec![
-        ApsSlot {

-    page_url: Some("https://example.com"),
-    ua: Some("Mozilla/5.0..."),

-- APS bids are effectively ignored since their prices are encoded

+APS OpenRTB supplies decoded prices, so eligible APS bids participate directly without requiring a mediator.
 
 ### Parallel Mediation
 
-When a `mediator` is configured, all provider responses are forwarded to the mediator service for final winner selection. The mediator can decode proprietary price formats (like APS encoded bids) and apply unified floor pricing.

 ### APS Provider
 
-Transforms auction requests into Amazon's TAM (Transparent Ad Marketplace) format.
+Builds an independent banner OpenRTB request for Amazon Publisher Services.
 
 **Request transformation:**
 
-- `AdSlot` → `ApsSlot` with `slot_id`, `slot_name`, and `sizes` array
-- Publisher ID, page URL, user agent, and timeout included
+- banner `AdSlot` formats become secure OpenRTB impressions;
+- `ext.account` uses canonical `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk` identifies the compatible Prebid contract; and
+- existing page, device, consent, identity, and geo privacy gates are preserved.
 
 **Response parsing:**
 
-- Bids have `price: None` — APS uses proprietary encoding (`amznbid` field is base64-encoded)
-- Bids have `creative: None` — APS does not return HTML creatives
-- Encoded price metadata (`amznbid`, `amznp`) preserved in bid metadata for the mediator
-- Only slots with `fif: "1"` (filled) are processed
-
-This is why mediation is important when using APS: without a mediator, APS bids cannot participate in winner selection.
+- decoded USD prices compete directly with other providers;
+- positive compatible dimensions and an HTTPS `creativeurl` are required;
+- script creatives are rejected before winner selection unless explicitly enabled;
+- one candidate per impression is retained deterministically; and
+- a minimized typed renderer is preserved instead of creative markup or APS notifications.

-# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) Integration
+# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) OpenRTB Integration
 
-Server-side bidding integration for Amazon's Transparent Ad Marketplace (TAM).
+Trusted Server can request banner bids from Amazon Publisher Services (APS) through the APS OpenRTB endpoint and let their decoded USD CPMs compete with other auction providers.
 
-## Overview
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> APS's public adapter metadata describes Prebid Server support as unavailable. Confirm edge/server-originated traffic with your APS account team before a broad production rollout. Start with an isolated cohort and disable publisher-native APS demand for that cohort to avoid duplicate demand.
 
-The APS integration enables publishers to request bids from Amazon's demand sources server-side, providing:
+## Scope
 
-- **Privacy-first bidding**: No client-side ID tracking or third-party cookies required
-- **Reduced latency**: Server-side auction reduces page load impact
-- **Unified auction**: Integrates seamlessly with other bidders (Prebid, GAM)
-- **Performance**: Async bidding with configurable timeouts
+The integration supports:
 
-## Quick Start
+- banner impressions;
+- APS OpenRTB requests to `https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid`;
+- decoded-CPM winner selection with or without a mediator;
+- direct `/auction` rendering; and
+- initial-navigation and page-bids rendering through GAM/Prebid Universal Creative.
 
-Get started with server-side APS bidding in 5 minutes.
+The integration does not implement:
 
-### Prerequisites
+- video or native impressions;
+- APS user sync;
+- Trusted Server delivery of APS `nurl` or `burl`; or
+- native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` handling for Trusted Server APS winners.
 
-- Fastly Compute service configured
-- APS publisher account with valid `pub_id`
-- Rust toolchain installed (see main README)
-
-### Step 1: Configure Fastly Backend
-
-Add APS backend to your Fastly service:
-
-**Option A: Via Fastly UI**
-
-1. Go to your service → Origins
-2. Click "Create a Backend"
-3. Configure:
-   - Name: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Address: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Port: `443`
-   - Enable TLS: ✓
-
-**Option B: Via `fastly.toml`**
-
-Add to your `fastly.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[[backends]]
-name = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-address = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-port = 443
-use_ssl = true
-ssl_cert_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-ssl_sni_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-```
-
-### Step 2: Enable APS in Configuration
-
-Edit `trusted-server.toml`:
+## Configuration
 
 ```toml
-# Enable APS bidding
 [integrations.aps]
 enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Replace with your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
+account_id = "example-aps-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
 timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
 
-# Configure auction to use APS
 [auction]
 enabled = true
-strategy = "parallel_only"  # Run APS alongside other bidders
-bidders = ["aps"]  # Add other bidders like ["aps", "prebid"]
+providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
 timeout_ms = 2000
 ```
 
-### Step 3: Deploy or Test Locally
-
-**Deploy to Fastly:**
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1
-fastly compute publish
-```
-
-**Test Locally:**
-
-```bash
-fastly compute serve
-```
-
-### Step 4: Verify It's Working
-
-Check the logs for APS activity:
-
-```bash
-# You should see:
-INFO APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)
-DEBUG APS: sending bid request: {...}
-DEBUG APS: received response: {...}
-INFO APS returned 2 bids in 150ms
-```

-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Basic Setup
+`account_id` is the canonical field. `pub_id` remains a compatibility alias for migration, including integer values, but new configuration should not use it. Supplying both names is an error.
 
-Add to `trusted-server.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Override settings via environment variables:
-
-```bash
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__ENABLED=true
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__PUB_ID=5128
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__TIMEOUT_MS=800
-```
+`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`. While disabled, APS script bids are rejected before per-impression reduction, floors, mediation, and winner selection. Enable it only for a controlled cohort after the browser-security checks in [Rollout](#rollout) pass.
 
-## Auction Strategies
+APS uses ordinary auction slot IDs and banner formats. Legacy creative-opportunity APS `slot_id` configuration is accepted for compatibility but ignored, and `bidders.aps.slotID` is not required. Remove both during migration.
 
-### APS Only
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-bidders = ["aps"]
-# No mediator = parallel only (highest CPM wins)
-```
-
-### APS + Prebid (Parallel)
-
-Best for maximum revenue:
+The APS provider may also participate through a configured mediator:
 
 ```toml
 [auction]
 enabled = true
 providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
+mediator = "adserver_mock"
 timeout_ms = 2000
-# No mediator = all providers compete, highest CPM wins
+```
 
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"
-timeout_ms = 800
+## OpenRTB request
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-enabled = true
-server_url = "https://prebid-server.example.com"
-timeout_ms = 1000
-```
+Trusted Server builds the APS request independently from its Prebid Server request. The request includes:
 
-**Benefits:**
+- `ext.account` from `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk = { "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`;
+- secure banner impressions and configured floors;
+- page, site, device, and consent fields allowed by the existing privacy gates; and
+- eligible EIDs only when consent policy permits them.
 
-- Maximum fill rate
-- Best CPM selection
-- All bidders compete equally
+Precise latitude/longitude, disallowed identifiers, unsupported media types, and Trusted Server/Prebid-only extensions are not forwarded. Unsafe or oversized page URLs are omitted or replaced by the validated publisher fallback.
 
-### APS + Prebid + Mediation
+Raw outbound and inbound payloads are logged only at TRACE level. Normal logs and auction metadata contain aggregate counts and drop reasons.
 
-Let a mediator decide winners:
+## Bid eligibility and selection
 
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
-mediator = "adserver_mock"  # Enables parallel mediation (mediator decides winner)
-timeout_ms = 2000
-```
+APS responses must use USD when a response currency is present. Each eligible bid must have:
 
-## Request Format
+- a known `impid`;
+- a finite decoded price;
+- positive `w` and `h` that match a configured banner format;
+- an HTTPS, credential-free `ext.creativeurl` on an origin other than the publisher; and
+- `ext.tagtype` equal to `iframe`, or `script` when the script gate is enabled.
 
-The integration transforms unified `AuctionRequest` to APS TAM format:
+Trusted Server rejects legacy contextual response shapes and bids with markup-only render sources. It deterministically keeps one eligible APS candidate per impression by highest price, then lexicographically smallest bid ID. This reduction prevents same-slot renderer ambiguity in mediation.
 
-```json
-{
-  "pubId": "5128",
-  "slots": [
-    {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "slotName": "header-banner",
-      "sizes": [
-        [728, 90],
-        [970, 250]
-      ]
-    }
-  ],
-  "pageUrl": "https://example.com/article",
-  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0...",
-  "timeout": 800
-}
-```
+APS bids use `aps` as both the bidder identity and `hb_bidder`, regardless of an upstream seat value. The selected APS bid ID is used for `hb_adid`. APS then competes directly against other decoded-price bids and ordinary slot floors.
 
-## Response Format
+## Rendering security model
 
-APS returns bids in this format:
+Trusted Server does not insert APS creative markup into the publisher document. It serializes only the selected bid into a versioned renderer descriptor. The base64 OpenRTB envelope has exactly this shape:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "bids": [
+  "seatbid": [
     {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "price": 2.5,
-      "adm": "<div>Creative HTML</div>",
-      "w": 728,
-      "h": 90,
-      "adomain": ["amazon.com"],
-      "bidId": "bid-123",
-      "nurl": "https://win-notification.com",
-      "targeting": {
-        "amzniid": "user-id",
-        "amznbid": "2.50"
-      }
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
-The integration automatically transforms this to unified `Bid` format.
+Seats, `impid`, markup, notifications, user-sync data, sibling bids, losing seats, and unknown fields are not exposed. The browser decodes this envelope and cross-checks the ID, dimensions, URL, and tag type before any DOM mutation or message suppression.
 
-## Testing
+Both rendering paths use `GET /integrations/aps/renderer`, a static Trusted Server document with its own restrictive CSP. The document initializes the account-keyed APS queue and then loads only the fixed runner at `https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js`.
 
-### Unit Tests
+The outer iframe uses these sandbox permissions:
 
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps::tests
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
 ```
 
-### Local Testing
+It deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`, so APS and bidder execution remains below an opaque-origin boundary. The renderer response repeats these restrictions with a CSP `sandbox` directive, preventing another embedding path from restoring publisher-origin execution by omitting the iframe attribute. Trusted Server generates a fresh 128-bit nonce, binds it in the iframe URL fragment before navigation, and requires the same one-time nonce in the parent message and renderer acknowledgement. Existing slot content is retained until the static renderer has accepted the descriptor and loaded the fixed runner.
 
-1. Configure APS in `trusted-server.toml`
-2. Set up Fastly backend
-3. Run locally:
-   ```bash
-   fastly compute serve
-   ```
-4. Inspect logs for bid requests/responses
+### Direct `/auction`
 
-### Testing
+The TSJS auction client validates the typed renderer descriptor, creates the opaque renderer iframe, and sends the minimized envelope after the frame loads. Ordinary non-APS `adm` continues through the existing sanitizer and generic creative iframe.
 
-For local testing without live APS credentials, configure the integration with test values:
+### GAM and Universal Creative
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "test-publisher-123"
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-Run unit tests:
-
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps
-```
-
-## Monitoring
+For initial navigation and page-bids, Trusted Server publishes the same descriptor in `window.tsjs.bids`. The source-checked Prebid Universal Creative bridge accepts requests only from the iframe that owns the matching `hb_adid`, validates the complete envelope, and returns a static dynamic-renderer program that creates the same opaque renderer iframe.
 
-The integration logs detailed information at different levels:
+This path does not fetch PBS Cache, fire generic APS win/billing beacons, or call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for the Trusted Server winner. Publisher-owned native APS objects are otherwise left untouched.

-log::debug!("APS: sending bid request: {...}");
-log::debug!("APS: received response: {...}");
+The publisher policy must permit the same-origin renderer route, for example:
 
-// Warn: Non-success responses
-log::warn!("APS returned non-success status: 400");
+```text
+frame-src 'self'
 ```
 
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Problem: No bids returned
-
-**Check:**
-
-1. Verify `pub_id` is correct
-2. Check backend is configured: `fastly backend list`
-3. Increase timeout: `timeout_ms = 1200`
-4. View logs with `fastly compute serve`
-
-**Possible causes:**
+Do not add `allow-same-origin` to the outer renderer sandbox. The renderer endpoint supplies its own CSP for the fixed runner and HTTPS creative resources.
 
-- Invalid `pub_id` configuration
-- Timeout too short (increase `timeout_ms`)
-- Backend not configured correctly
-- APS account not active
+Before enabling script creatives, verify under the publisher's actual CSP that both iframe and script-tag creatives:
 
-### Problem: "Backend not found" error
+- render and size correctly;
+- cannot read or modify `top.document`;
+- cannot restore publisher-origin execution;
+- reject malformed descriptors, nonce mismatches, and replay; and
+- work through both direct and GAM/Universal Creative paths.
 
-**Solution:**
-Add backend to Fastly (see Step 1)
+If script rendering requires weakening the outer sandbox, leave `allow_script_creatives = false` and consult APS instead.
 
-### Problem: Parse errors
+## Migration from the legacy APS integration
 
-**Check:**
+This release is a direct protocol cutover:
 
-- Enable debug logging
-- Verify endpoint URL is correct
-- Check APS API for changes
+1. Replace the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` endpoint with `/e/pb/bid`.
+2. Rename `pub_id` to `account_id`.
+3. Remove APS-specific slot ID configuration and remove `aps` from Prebid Server bidder lists. Trusted Server also filters APS from PBS requests for this path.
+4. Prepare GAM line items and Universal Creative for `hb_bidder=aps` and the selected APS `hb_adid`.
+5. Disable publisher-native APS demand for the Trusted Server test cohort.
 
-**Solutions:**
+There is no legacy runtime switch. Roll back by disabling `[integrations.aps]`, restoring native APS for the cohort, or deploying the prior binary.
 
-- Enable debug logging to inspect response
-- Verify APS endpoint is correct
-- Check for API changes (update structs if needed)
+## Rollout
 
-### Timeout Errors
+Use fictional values in source-controlled configuration and fixtures. Supply controlled account details out of band.
 
-**Symptoms:**
+1. Obtain APS account-team confirmation for edge-originated OpenRTB traffic.
+2. Enable Trusted Server APS only for an isolated cohort and disable native APS demand there.
+3. Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` and observe iframe bids through direct and GAM paths.
+4. Confirm outbound privacy fields, aggregate diagnostics, decoded-price competition, line-item targeting, dimensions, click-throughs, and opaque-origin isolation.
+5. Run the restrictive-CSP browser proof for script behavior.
+6. Only then enable script creatives for the isolated cohort and validate them in a real browser.
+7. Expand traffic only after APS confirmation and successful controlled validation.
 
-```
-APS request failed: Timeout
-```
-
-**Solutions:**
-
-- Increase `timeout_ms` in config
-- Check backend connectivity
-- Verify DNS resolution for `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
+## Troubleshooting
 
-## Performance Tuning
+### No APS bids
 
-### Timeout Configuration
+- Confirm `account_id` and account eligibility with APS.
+- Confirm the endpoint is `/e/pb/bid` and uses HTTPS without credentials.
+- Ensure `aps` appears in `auction.providers`.
+- Check aggregate APS drop reasons for currency, dimensions, render source, URL, tag type, or script-gate rejection.
+- Confirm the provider timeout fits inside the auction timeout.
 
-- **Default**: 800ms (matches APS client-side behavior)
-- **Aggressive**: 500ms (reduce latency, may miss some bids)
-- **Conservative**: 1200ms (maximize fill rate)
+### Winner targets but does not render
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800  # Balance latency vs fill rate
-```
+- Confirm `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` returns HTML with its CSP and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.
+- Confirm publisher CSP permits `frame-src 'self'`.
+- Confirm the GAM creative uses the supported Prebid Universal Creative bridge and the winning `hb_adid`.
+- Ensure no native APS path is trying to handle the same cohort.
+- Keep script creatives disabled while diagnosing iframe rendering.
 
-### Orchestrator Timeout
+## Verification
 
-Ensure orchestrator timeout exceeds provider timeout:
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-timeout_ms = 2000  # > sum of all provider timeouts
-
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-timeout_ms = 1000
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
 ```
 
-## Integration with Client-Side
-
-While this implementation focuses on server-side bidding, you can optionally add client-side components later:
-
-1. **ID Resolution**: Integrate third-party ID vendors client-side
-2. **Analytics**: Load `aps_csm.js` for viewability tracking
-3. **Config Loading**: Fetch `/configs/{pub_id}` for advanced settings
-
-See the original network flow documentation for client-side patterns.
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-Potential additions for complete APS TAM parity:
-
-1. **Video Support**: Add video slot formats
-2. **ID Enrichment**: Server-side ID resolution (LiveRamp, ID5, etc.)
-3. **Advanced Targeting**: Pass user segments, geo data
-4. **Config API**: Fetch APS configuration from `/configs/{pub_id}`
-5. **Analytics**: Integrate with APS measurement endpoints

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** Implement task-by-task with tests first. Do not use bare
+> `cargo test --workspace`; use the adapter-aware aliases from `.cargo/config.toml`.
+> Commit or push only when the supervising user explicitly requests it.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the legacy APS `/e/dtb/bid` integration with APS OpenRTB,
+participate with decoded prices without mediation, and render APS banner creatives in
+the direct-auction and GPT/page-bids browser paths.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep APS request/response policy in an APS-specific OpenRTB adapter.
+Map the response into the shared `Bid` plus a typed, versioned APS renderer descriptor.
+Carry that descriptor through `/auction` and the publisher bid map. TSJS builds a
+Trusted Server-owned bootstrap for the fixed APS `prebid-creative.js` runner and
+executes it in the approved sandbox. Ordinary `adm` remains on the existing mandatory
+sanitize/rewrite path.
+
+**Tech stack:** Rust 2024, generated OpenRTB types, serde/serde_json, base64 0.22,
+error-stack, URL validation, TypeScript, Vitest, Prebid Universal Creative messaging.
+
+**Spec:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md`
+
+**Branch:** `issue-764-aps-openrtb`
+

+
+## Context and guardrails for every task
+
+- APS may be implemented and tested before production edge support is confirmed.
+  Broad production rollout remains blocked until the APS account team confirms the
+  Fastly/edge contract.
+- Send APS SDK identity `{ "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`.
+- Build the exact renderer allowlist: one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`,
+  `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently
+  expose the complete APS response.
+- The outer renderer sandbox must omit `allow-same-origin`.
+  `allow_script_creatives` is a server-side capability gate that defaults false;
+  disabled script bids must be dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+  Enable it only under the staged opaque-origin and controlled-account test policy.
+- APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` delivery are out of scope. Do not add either
+  browser path.
+- Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` as an alias only; do not add a legacy protocol
+  switch.
+- When a Trusted Server APS renderer is present, do not call
+  `apstag.setDisplayBids()`.
+- Banner only. Do not advertise APS video support in this issue.
+- Do not weaken `sanitize_creative_html` or its tests.
+- Raw APS requests/responses remain TRACE-only. Never log real account IDs, EIDs,
+  consent strings, creative URLs, bid tokens, or response bodies at normal levels.
+- All committed fixtures/docs use fictional `example` values. Controlled test-account
+  values stay out of the repository and terminal transcripts intended for review.
+- Use `error-stack`; no anyhow/eyre/thiserror in core code.
+- Use `log::` macros, not `println!`; use descriptive `expect("should ...")`, not
+  `unwrap()`.
+- Run the focused test immediately after each production-code change.

+
+## Task 1: Add typed bid identifiers and renderer state
+
+**What:** Give the shared auction model enough typed state to distinguish OpenRTB bid,
+ad, and creative IDs and carry a validated APS renderer without using arbitrary
+metadata.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+- Modify: every production/test `Bid { ... }` construction found by
+  `rg -n 'Bid \{' crates/trusted-server-core`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+
+- [ ] Add failing serde tests for a bid with:
+  - separate `bid_id`, `ad_id`, and `creative_id`;
+  - an APS renderer version, account ID, selected bid ID, tag type, creative URL,
+    encoded response, and dimensions; and
+  - `renderer = None` omission for ordinary bids.
+- [ ] Define a strict `ApsTagType` enum with only `Iframe` and `Script`.
+- [ ] Define a versioned, typed renderer enum/descriptor. The serialized renderer must
+      use camelCase and a discriminator equivalent to:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "type": "aps",
+    "version": 1,
+    "accountId": "example-account-id",
+    "bidId": "fictional-bid-id",
+    "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+    "tagType": "iframe",
+    "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+    "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+    "width": 300,
+    "height": 250
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Add to `Bid`:
+  - `bid_id: Option<String>`;
+  - `creative_id: Option<String>`; and
+  - `renderer: Option<...>`.
+- [ ] Make descriptor `creativeId` optional and omit it when APS does not return
+      `crid`; add a serde test for the absent-`crid` case.
+- [ ] Correct stale comments saying APS prices are encoded or that APS has no creative
+      delivery mechanism.
+- [ ] Update every `Bid` literal. Use `None` outside production parser paths; do not use
+      serde defaults to hide missed production mappings.
+- [ ] Update Prebid's `parse_bid` to preserve OpenRTB `id` as `bid_id` and `crid` as
+      `creative_id`, while retaining the existing strict `adid -> ad_id` semantics.
+- [ ] Run the focused tests:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::types
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::prebid::tests::parse_bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all` and `cargo check-fastly` before proceeding.
+
+**Expected result:** Shared bids can represent APS renderer state without overloading
+`ad_id` or leaking renderer data through general metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Cut APS configuration over to the OpenRTB contract
+
+**What:** Replace the public APS configuration terminology and default endpoint before
+replacing request/response behavior.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: existing APS test module in the same file
+
+- [ ] Add failing configuration tests proving:
+  - `account_id = "example-account-id"` deserializes;
+  - legacy `pub_id` deserializes to the same field;
+  - string and integer compatibility is retained;
+  - empty and whitespace-only strings fail validation;
+  - surrounding whitespace is trimmed deterministically;
+  - supplying both names fails as a duplicate field;
+  - the default endpoint is `/e/pb/bid`;
+  - HTTP, missing-host, and credential-bearing endpoint overrides fail validation; and
+  - APS remains disabled by default; and
+  - `allow_script_creatives` defaults false.
+- [ ] Rename `ApsConfig.pub_id` to `account_id`, using `pub_id` only as a serde alias.
+      Trim string values, reject empty-after-trim, normalize integers to strings, and
+      rename the custom deserializer/error text accordingly.
+- [ ] Add `allow_script_creatives: bool` with a serde default of `false`. Treat it as a
+      server-side bid-eligibility capability, not a browser-only rendering preference.
+- [ ] Change `default_endpoint()` to:
+
+  ```text
+  https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Replace generic URL-only endpoint validation with a custom check requiring HTTPS,
+      a non-empty host, and no username/password. Do not add a plaintext test exception:
+      the endpoint response is trusted to select executable renderer data.
+- [ ] Remove account IDs from registration and request INFO logs. Log only that APS was
+      registered and the endpoint/provider-safe state needed operationally.
+- [ ] Change `supports_media_type` to banner only.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all -- --check`.
+
+**Expected result:** Existing configs continue through `pub_id`, new configs use
+`account_id`, and no runtime protocol switch is introduced.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Replace the legacy request builder with APS OpenRTB
+
+**What:** Delete the private `/e/dtb/bid` request types and build the request described
+by the design spec from trusted auction context.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify only if useful: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Test: APS and auction-format test modules
+
+### 3.1 Request fixture tests
+
+- [ ] Add a failing complete-request test with fictional values. Assert exact JSON for:
+  - request `id`, `tmax`, and `cur = ["USD"]`;
+  - `ext.account`;
+  - `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"` and `version = "2.2.0"`;
+  - one impression per eligible slot with direct `imp.id` mapping;
+  - banner `format`, first `w`/`h`, `topframe = 0`, floor, floor currency, and
+    unconditional `secure = 1`;
+  - site page/domain/publisher fields;
+  - consent-allowed user ID and EIDs;
+  - UA/IP/language/DNT and coarse geo;
+  - TCF/USP/GPP registrations with COPPA omitted because no trusted signal exists; and
+  - absence of all PBS-only request and impression extensions.
+- [ ] Add focused privacy/validation tests:
+  - latitude/longitude are omitted while permitted coarse geo remains;
+  - gated-out user/EID values stay absent;
+  - no user data, keywords, gender, YOB, customdata, cookies, or arbitrary headers;
+  - non-banner slots are omitted;
+  - dimensions above `i32::MAX` are omitted safely;
+  - empty/invalid formats cannot create a malformed impression;
+  - configured and effective timeout use the orchestrator-granted budget.
+
+### 3.2 `/auction` page derivation
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests to `auction/formats.rs` proving:
+  - a valid same-publisher HTTP(S) `Referer` becomes the `/auction` current page;
+  - userinfo, wrong-host, non-HTTP(S), malformed, and oversized URLs are rejected;
+  - rejection falls back to the configured publisher origin; and
+  - no unrestricted browser body field is accepted as page context.
+- [ ] Implement a small private URL-validation helper. Reuse it in APS referrer
+      handling if practical, but do not make it a broad URL-policy refactor.
+
+### 3.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove `ApsBidRequest`, `ApsSlot`, legacy consent wrappers, slot-ID fallback, and
+      `to_aps_request`.
+- [ ] Add APS request extension types locally in `aps.rs` unless another module must
+      serialize them. Implement `ToExt` consistently with existing OpenRTB extension
+      types.
+- [ ] Implement `build_openrtb_request(&AuctionRequest, &AuctionContext)` using generated
+      OpenRTB types and `to_openrtb_i32`.
+- [ ] Build registrations from the existing `ConsentContext` placements. Copy only the
+      small field mapping needed by APS; do not expose/refactor the PBS builder in this
+      task.
+- [ ] Derive `site.ref` only from a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` that differs from
+      the normalized current page.
+- [ ] Change `request_bids` to serialize/send the OpenRTB body with
+      `Content-Type: application/json`, the existing bounded auction timeout, and no
+      forwarded cookies.
+- [ ] Keep serialized request logging at TRACE.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo check-fastly
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review serialized request fixtures against the immutable upstream request code;
+      explicitly confirm no `ext.prebid` or Trusted Server signing extension appears.
+
+**Expected result:** Every eligible APS banner slot produces a standards-based OpenRTB
+impression with explicit APS and privacy policy.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Parse APS OpenRTB and build the minimized renderer envelope
+
+**What:** Replace `contextual.slots` parsing with strict `seatbid` parsing, decoded CPM,
+one APS candidate per impression, and the exact renderer envelope.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: APS test module
+
+### 4.1 Add failing response tests
+
+- [ ] A runner-compatible banner bid maps:
+  - `id -> bid_id`;
+  - optional `adid -> ad_id` and `crid -> creative_id`;
+  - `impid -> slot_id`;
+  - decoded price/USD, dimensions and domains;
+  - `Bid.bidder = "aps"` regardless of upstream seat; and
+  - `ext.creativeurl`/`ext.tagtype` into the typed renderer.
+- [ ] Missing, string, numeric, and unexpected seat values never become `Bid.bidder` or
+      `hb_bidder` and do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid.
+- [ ] A valid runner-compatible bid without `crid` remains renderable with no
+      `creativeId` in the descriptor.
+- [ ] The immutable official adapter fixture (`ext.bidder` only) is an expected safe
+      drop because the live runner requires `creativeurl`/`tagtype`.
+- [ ] `iframe` and `script` parse into strict enum variants. With
+      `allow_script_creatives = false`, every script bid is safe-dropped before
+      per-impression reduction and winner selection; iframe bids remain eligible.
+- [ ] With one higher-priced script bid and one lower-priced iframe bid for the same
+      impression, the disabled script cannot win and the iframe candidate survives.
+      With only disabled script bids, APS returns no bid.
+- [ ] An APS bid with `adm` but no valid URL/tag type is dropped. When valid renderer
+      metadata coexists with `adm`, all markup is excluded from the browser envelope
+      and `Bid.creative`.
+- [ ] HTTP 204, empty/missing `seatbid`, and seat bids with no bids are normal no-bids.
+- [ ] Legacy `{ "contextual": ... }` is `Error`/`unexpected_response_shape`.
+- [ ] Drop individual bids with unknown/missing `impid`, invalid price/currency/media,
+      missing/zero/out-of-range/incompatible `w` or `h`, missing bid ID, invalid tag
+      type, disabled script capability, or invalid creative URL.
+- [ ] Creative URLs using HTTP, credentials, excessive length, malformed syntax, or the
+      configured publisher origin are rejected.
+- [ ] One structurally malformed bid does not discard another valid bid. Invalid JSON or
+      non-representable numeric literals fail the complete response.
+- [ ] APS `nurl`/`burl` are intentionally discarded, and top-level `ext.userSyncs`
+      reaches neither `Bid`, diagnostics, nor renderer data.
+- [ ] Diagnostics contain only fixed reason/count keys and never IDs, URLs, payloads,
+      account values, seats, or raw extension data.
+
+### 4.2 Exact envelope and collision tests
+
+- [ ] Add `test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json` containing exactly:
+  - root `seatbid`;
+  - one seat object containing only `bid`;
+  - one bid containing only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`; and
+  - `ext` containing only `creativeurl` and `tagtype`.
+- [ ] Assert Rust serialization equals that golden JSON semantically and that decoded
+      `aaxResponse` has no top-level ID/currency, seat, impid, ad/crid/domain,
+      notifications, markup, syncs, sibling bids, or unknown extensions.
+- [ ] Remove unknown fields after transient parsing; do not copy an upstream extension
+      map wholesale into the renderer envelope.
+- [ ] Add a response over the 256 KiB pre-base64 cap and assert
+      `render_payload_too_large`.
+- [ ] Add two valid APS bids with the same impression/seat. Assert the parser returns
+      only the highest price; for a tie, lexicographically lowest bid ID wins with its
+      own matching renderer payload.
+
+### 4.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove all legacy request/response types, slot maps and tests.
+- [ ] Special-case HTTP 204 before body collection/JSON parsing.
+- [ ] Parse the response as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields, then
+      validate each bid independently so a wrong-typed bid cannot discard valid
+      siblings.
+- [ ] Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"`; discard upstream seat/network ID unless a bounded typed
+      internal consumer is introduced. Set APS `nurl = None` and `burl = None`.
+- [ ] Require present, positive, compatible `w` and `h`. Apply
+      `allow_script_creatives` before adding a candidate to the per-impression group so
+      a disabled script cannot reach floors, mediation, or winner selection.
+- [ ] Validate creative URL against the configured publisher origin and build the exact
+      allowlisted envelope from new values rather than cloning upstream objects.
+- [ ] Group accepted candidates by `impid`, reduce deterministically to one, then build
+      the final `AuctionResponse` and aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Preserve `collect_response_bounded(..., UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES, "aps")`,
+      TRACE-only raw body logging, and safe aggregate normal logs.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** APS returns at most one priced, renderer-compatible candidate per
+impression, with an exact browser envelope and stable `bidder = "aps"`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Emit APS winners through `/auction` and prove direct selection
+
+**What:** Use the new identifiers and renderer in the OpenRTB response without
+manufacturing an empty creative, then replace the old mediation assumptions.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs` if a typed bid extension helper is
+  useful
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/orchestrator.rs`
+- Test: format and orchestrator test modules
+
+### 5.1 Failing tests
+
+- [ ] `/auction` maps `Bid.bid_id`, `ad_id`, and optional `creative_id` to OpenRTB
+      `id`, `adid`, and optional `crid` instead of fabricating APS identifiers.
+- [ ] An APS renderer winner has no `adm` key and has
+      `ext.trusted_server.renderer` with the complete versioned descriptor—not a
+      `{type,version}` abbreviation.
+- [ ] A normal `Bid.creative` is still sanitized and rewritten before becoming `adm`.
+- [ ] A winning bid with neither creative nor renderer fails explicitly; it does not
+      serialize `adm: ""`.
+- [ ] A renderer descriptor does not enter the HTML sanitizer.
+- [ ] APS decoded price wins with no mediator when it is highest.
+- [ ] APS loses to a higher clear-price bid.
+- [ ] APS is removed below a slot floor.
+- [ ] Optional mediator presence does not make decoded APS pricing special.
+
+### 5.2 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Add a typed bid-extension serializer for `trusted_server.renderer`.
+- [ ] In `convert_to_openrtb_response`:
+  - preserve real bid/ad/creative IDs;
+  - process `creative` only through the existing sanitize/rewrite branch;
+  - emit renderer ext only for a typed renderer; and
+  - return an auction error for a winner with no render source.
+- [ ] Remove stale “mediation should have provided creative” APS assumptions and encoded
+      price comments.
+- [ ] Replace old orchestrator APS tests with decoded-price/floor tests. Do not change the
+      winner algorithm itself.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct clients receive a priced APS winner with an explicit render
+capability and never mistake an empty `adm` for a creative.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Preserve APS renderer state through mediation and publisher bid maps
+
+**What:** Ensure both publisher paths expose the same APS descriptor and a mediator
+cannot accidentally strip it.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/adserver_mock.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: tests in both files
+
+### 6.1 Mediation tests
+
+- [ ] Add a regression test documenting the current collision: two unreduced APS bids
+      with the same provider/slot/bidder overwrite the `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
+      and can restore the wrong renderer.
+- [ ] Feed the parser's reduced APS response into mediation and prove only the selected
+      source bid reaches the index/request and its bid ID/renderer survive reconstruction.
+- [ ] Keep the broader mediator index unchanged in this issue; APS avoids its existing
+      ambiguity by returning one candidate per impression. Extend restoration only for
+      `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and renderer while preserving existing non-APS
+      notification/cache behavior.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
+  ```
+
+### 6.2 Bid-map tests
+
+- [ ] Add failing `build_bid_map` tests proving:
+  - APS renderer is present when `include_adm = false`;
+  - renderer data is identical for initial-page and page-bids serialization;
+  - `hb_bidder` is always `aps`, never upstream seat/network ID;
+  - `hb_adid` uses APS selected `bid_id` ahead of OpenRTB `adid`;
+  - PBS Cache UUID remains highest priority for PBS bids;
+  - APS `nurl`/`burl` are absent while existing non-APS notifications are unchanged;
+  - no general metadata is exposed in normal mode;
+  - `aaxResponse` and account data survive `build_bids_script` escaping without
+    breaking out of the script; and
+  - a non-APS bid has no renderer property.
+- [ ] Update `build_bid_map` to serialize typed renderer data normally while retaining
+      `adm`/`debug_bid` only under the existing debug flag.
+- [ ] Set APS `hb_adid` from the descriptor's selected bid ID. Preserve current cache and
+      ad-ID fallbacks.
+- [ ] Update `debug_bid` deliberately: IDs may be shown under existing debug behavior,
+      but do not duplicate the potentially large encoded renderer envelope there.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly publisher
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct, mediated, initial-navigation, and SPA auction paths retain
+one typed APS render contract without exposing losing bids or arbitrary metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Add the opaque APS renderer endpoint and direct-auction integration
+
+**What:** Serve a static renderer document with its own CSP, validate the exact data the
+vendor consumes, and keep all APS/bidder execution below an outer opaque-origin
+sandbox.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/mod.rs`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/auction.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/request.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/core/auction.test.ts`
+- Modify/add: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/`
+
+### 7.1 Shared wire contract
+
+- [ ] Add TypeScript discriminated types matching the Rust descriptor, with optional
+      `creativeId`.
+- [ ] Make the shared fictional JSON fixture the source of truth: Rust serialization
+      equals it and TS tests import it.
+- [ ] Add `/auction` parser tests for valid renderer ext, absent APS `adm`, optional
+      creative ID, ordinary non-APS `adm`, unrelated ext, and malformed descriptors.
+- [ ] Keep parsing structural; complete trust validation happens before DOM/message
+      side effects.
+
+### 7.2 Static renderer endpoint
+
+- [ ] Add APS to `integrations::builders()` as a proxy registration using the same
+      validated `ApsConfig`, `.with_proxy(...)`, and `.without_js()`.
+- [ ] Register only `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` and return a static document—no
+      account, bid, URL, or response data in HTML.
+- [ ] Add Rust tests for exact route registration, method rejection, content type,
+      `nosniff`, `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and the explicit renderer CSP. The CSP
+      must repeat the approved sandbox tokens without `allow-same-origin` so direct
+      embedding cannot bypass the opaque boundary.
+- [ ] Before loading the vendor runner, the static initializer reads and strictly
+      validates the expected nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it, removes the
+      fragment from visible history, and installs its one-message listener.
+- [ ] The static script accepts one parent message, verifies `event.source`, version,
+      exact structure, and equality with the independently fragment-bound nonce, then
+      removes its listener, initializes the official account queue, dispatches
+      `prebid/creative/render`, and dynamically loads the fixed runner. Reply with the
+      accepted nonce only after runner load (or report runner failure). Because the
+      sandbox origin is opaque, use `"*"` as the target origin in both directions but
+      require the exact child/source window and one-time nonce.
+- [ ] Load only the fixed Amazon runner URL; do not interpolate renderer data into
+      script text, HTML, `srcdoc`, `document.write`, or another executable sink.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::tests
+  ```
+
+### 7.3 Decode and cross-check consumed data
+
+- [ ] `validateApsRenderer` must base64-decode UTF-8 JSON and require the exact allowlist:
+      one seat, one bid, exact bid/ext keys, finite price, dimensions, URL, and tag type.
+- [ ] Cross-check decoded ID/dimensions/URL/tag type against descriptor fields.
+- [ ] Reject unknown keys, markup, notifications, syncs, invalid base64/UTF-8/JSON,
+      non-HTTPS or credential-bearing URLs, and URLs matching `location.origin`.
+- [ ] Validate before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation`, iframe creation, or
+      `postMessage`.
+- [ ] Repeat message/envelope validation inside the static renderer document.
+
+### 7.4 Opaque direct renderer
+
+- [ ] `renderApsCreative` creates a sized iframe with `src` set to
+      `/integrations/aps/renderer`; it never uses outer `srcdoc`.
+- [ ] Apply exactly these tokens and assert `allow-same-origin` is absent:
+
+  ```text
+  allow-forms
+  allow-pointer-lock
+  allow-popups
+  allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+  allow-scripts
+  allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Generate at least 128 random bits per frame with `crypto.getRandomValues`, encode
+      them as strict base64url, and set `iframe.src` to the trusted renderer URL with
+      that nonce in the fragment before insertion/navigation. After load, post the
+      validated descriptor with the same nonce. Clear existing content and reveal the
+      frame only after an exact source- and nonce-bound runner-ready acknowledgement;
+      remove an unacknowledged or failed hidden frame after a bounded timeout.
+- [ ] Reject a missing/malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, repeat, or stale message; a
+      nonce carried only in the posted message is not sufficient.
+- [ ] Leave existing slot content intact on validation/load failure and log no payload,
+      account, URL or bid ID.
+- [ ] Dispatch valid APS renderer bids before ordinary non-APS `adm`; do not change the
+      generic sanitizer/renderer.
+
+### 7.5 Restrictive-CSP and origin proof
+
+- [ ] Add Playwright coverage using a restrictive publisher CSP that permits only
+      `frame-src 'self'` for the renderer route.
+- [ ] Use a local fictional runner/creative implementation matching observed APS
+      iframe/script behavior; CI must not depend on the live Amazon script.
+- [ ] Prove iframe and fetched-HTML script creatives cannot read or modify
+      `top.document`, even though the nested vendor frame requests
+      `allow-same-origin`. Also embed the renderer without an iframe sandbox attribute
+      and prove the response-level CSP sandbox still keeps it opaque.
+- [ ] Prove the renderer route's CSP permits required HTTPS ad resources, the outer
+      frame stays opaque, malformed/mismatched envelopes or fragment/message nonce
+      mismatches do not clear slots, replay is rejected, and the runner can size/render
+      without parent-origin `frameElement` access.
+- [ ] Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` for normal traffic during local browser
+      proof. If script rendering/resizing fails, keep the server gate false and stop for
+      an APS-supported isolated renderer contract. Never add `allow-same-origin` to the
+      outer frame.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
+  node build-all.mjs
+  npm run format
+
+  cd ../../../crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser
+  npx playwright test
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct APS rendering uses a separately served document below an
+opaque outer sandbox with a pre-bound, one-time nonce; script bids cannot win while the
+default-off server capability is disabled.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Integrate APS with the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge
+
+**What:** Serve APS descriptors through the existing source-checked `Prebid Request`
+message path and stop signaling the native APS SDK for TS winners.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+- Modify if needed: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts`
+- Reuse: `src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+
+### 8.1 Add failing bridge tests
+
+- [ ] A matching APS `hb_adid` and renderer:
+  - is accepted only from the owning slot's message source;
+  - is fully decoded/cross-checked before `stopImmediatePropagation()`;
+  - does not fetch PBS Cache or fire generic nurl/burl beacons;
+  - posts one exact serializable `Prebid Response` using the deployed Universal
+    Creative renderer version; and
+  - creates only the opaque renderer-route iframe before posting the descriptor.
+- [ ] Two concurrent requests for the same APS ad ID do not double-render.
+- [ ] An APS descriptor requested from another slot is ignored.
+- [ ] Invalid renderer data does not stop another legitimate handler and does not clear
+      a slot.
+- [ ] Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache tests remain green.
+- [ ] `adInit()` does not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for a bid with a Trusted Server
+      APS renderer, even if `window.apstag` exists.
+- [ ] A publisher-owned native APS SDK remains otherwise untouched; TS does not delete,
+      reinitialize, or monkey-patch it.
+
+### 8.2 Implement bridge support
+
+- [ ] Import the shared envelope validator/opaque-frame helper without importing the
+      full Prebid bundle.
+- [ ] Add the APS branch after source-slot ownership and full renderer validation, before
+      debug ADM/PBS Cache branches.
+- [ ] Define and fixture-test the exact Universal Creative message object, including
+      `rendererVersion`; do not describe or send a non-cloneable function.
+- [ ] Compute an absolute `/integrations/aps/renderer` URL from the trusted publisher
+      page origin before crossing into GAM; a relative URL in the creative frame would
+      resolve against GAM. Validate that URL separately from APS data.
+- [ ] Keep renderer source static and limited to creating the sandboxed iframe with that
+      absolute renderer URL plus a fresh nonce fragment, then post validated data and
+      the matching nonce after load and resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound
+      renderer-ready acknowledgement.
+- [ ] Preserve `renderingAdIds` and live `window.tsjs.bids`. Do not call
+      `fireWinBillingBeacons` for APS; existing non-APS beacon deduplication is unchanged.
+- [ ] Remove the `apstag?.setDisplayBids?.()` block that treats every APS targeting bid
+      as a native SDK bid. Update comments accordingly.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run \
+    test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/spa_hook.test.ts
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Initial navigation and SPA page-bids render the selected APS bid
+through the same typed bootstrap, without relying on native `apstag` state.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Update operator configuration, migration docs, and changelog
+
+**What:** Replace all legacy public guidance and document test/rollout dependencies.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+- Rewrite: `docs/guide/integrations/aps.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Review references found by:
+
+  ```bash
+  rg -n 'e/dtb/bid|pub_id|amznbid|amznp|setDisplayBids|APS.*mediat' \
+    --glob '!target/**' .
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Change the example to `account_id` and `/e/pb/bid`, with fictional values.
+- [ ] Document `pub_id` as a compatibility alias and duplicate-name failure.
+- [ ] Remove any claim that `slot_id`/`bidders.aps.slotID` is required for the OpenRTB
+      provider.
+- [ ] Document banner-only scope, USD comparison, decoded-price direct winners, and
+      aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Document both rendering paths, static renderer endpoint, fixed APS runner URL,
+      exact envelope allowlist, fragment-bound nonce, outer sandbox without
+      `allow-same-origin`, renderer endpoint/publisher CSP requirements, and the
+      default-off `allow_script_creatives` server gate.
+- [ ] State that user sync and Trusted Server firing of APS `nurl`/`burl` are not
+      implemented.
+- [ ] State that public APS metadata says PBS unsupported and production edge traffic
+      still requires account-team confirmation.
+- [ ] Add a cohort rollout checklist:
+  - TS APS enabled;
+  - native APS demand disabled for that cohort;
+  - GAM line item/Universal Creative prepared for `hb_bidder=aps` and selected
+    `hb_adid`;
+  - iframe rendering observed first while `allow_script_creatives = false`;
+  - script enabled only for the isolated cohort after local browser proof, then observed
+    in a real browser; and
+  - no real IDs/tokens captured in docs or fixtures.
+- [ ] Document rollback as disabling APS, restoring native APS for the cohort, or binary
+      rollback—not a legacy config switch.
+- [ ] Add a breaking/migration changelog entry for endpoint and canonical field changes.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd docs
+  npx prettier --write \
+    superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md \
+    superpowers/plans/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration.md \
+    guide/integrations/aps.md
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Operators cannot accidentally configure the old protocol or assume
+user sync/video/native SDK behavior that no longer exists.
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Controlled APS and browser verification
+
+**What:** Validate the uncertain external contract without putting account-specific
+material into source control.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Controlled APS account/config supplied out of band; native APS demand
+disabled for the test cohort; representative GAM line items and publisher CSP; local
+restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin script proof already passing.
+
+- [ ] Deploy with APS enabled only in the controlled cohort and
+      `allow_script_creatives = false` initially.
+- [ ] Prove with parser/orchestrator telemetry and tests that disabled script bids are
+      removed before candidate reduction/winner selection and cannot leave a winning
+      slot without a renderer.
+- [ ] Confirm the outbound body has:
+  - `/e/pb/bid` endpoint;
+  - `ext.account` from operator config;
+  - `ext.sdk = { source: "prebid", version: "2.2.0" }`;
+  - expected impressions, floors, page/device/privacy fields; and
+  - no latitude/longitude or disallowed identity fields.
+- [ ] Confirm a bid returns a decoded price and can beat another provider with no
+      mediator.
+- [ ] Confirm the browser receives the exact one-bid allowlist in `aaxResponse`, with no
+      seat, impid, IDs beyond selected bid ID, domains, notifications, markup, syncs,
+      unknown extensions, sibling bids, or losing seats.
+- [ ] Confirm the immutable official no-renderer fixture safe-drops and separately
+      observe real `creativeurl`/`tagtype` responses.
+- [ ] Exercise a real `tagtype=iframe` response through direct `/auction` and
+      navigation/page-bids/GAM while the script gate remains false.
+- [ ] Only after the local browser proof, set `allow_script_creatives = true` for this
+      isolated cohort and exercise a real `tagtype=script` response through both paths.
+      Do not enable it for other traffic yet.
+- [ ] Verify the exact envelope works with the current APS runner. If it does not, record
+      only missing field names/shape, stop rollout, consult APS, and update spec/tests;
+      never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response.
+- [ ] Verify the outer frame has an opaque origin, restrictive publisher CSP succeeds,
+      click-through/dimensions work, and bidder content cannot access parent DOM.
+- [ ] If the fixed runner cannot render/resize script creatives without outer
+      `allow-same-origin`, restore `allow_script_creatives = false` and stop; do not
+      weaken the boundary.
+- [ ] Verify `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for the TS winner and APS is not
+      participating twice.
+- [ ] Verify INFO/WARN logs and auction summaries contain no raw response or sensitive
+      values.
+- [ ] Obtain APS account-team confirmation before enabling broad production traffic.
+
+**Expected result:** Iframe creatives render under the default policy; script creatives
+become winner-eligible only for the staged cohort after both browser proof phases pass,
+or the server gate returns to false and rollout stops with a bounded contract gap.
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Final regression and repository verification
+
+Run the complete required matrix from the repository root.

+  ```
+
+### Final review
+
+- [ ] Run:

+  ```bash
+  git diff --check
+  git status --short
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review every `Bid` construction and mediator conversion for the new identifiers

+      sanitization.
+- [ ] Review every renderer serialization boundary and prove only winning APS data is

+- [ ] Review logs for account IDs, URLs, bid IDs, payloads, and consent/EID leakage.
+- [ ] Verify no real controlled-account data entered source, tests, docs, comments, or

+If commits are requested, keep reviewable checkpoints aligned with the tasks:
+
+1. `Add typed APS renderer state to auction bids`
+2. `Build APS OpenRTB requests`
+3. `Parse APS OpenRTB responses`
+4. `Carry APS renderer metadata to clients`
+5. `Render APS creatives in TSJS and GPT`
+6. `Document APS OpenRTB migration`

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-15  
+**Status:** Approved for implementation and test; production rollout remains subject to APS account-team validation  
+**Issue:** [#764 — Add the Amazon APS Prebid Adapter as first class integration](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/764)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Replace Trusted Server's legacy Amazon Publisher Services (APS/TAM) wire contract
+with the OpenRTB contract used by the official APS Prebid.js adapter, so APS can:
+
+1. receive a valid OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot;
+2. return a decoded CPM that competes directly without a mediator;
+3. render winning `iframe` and `script` creatives through a deliberate APS browser
+   renderer; and
+4. preserve Trusted Server's existing privacy, sanitization, bounded-I/O, and
+   observability invariants.
+
+The new default endpoint is:
+
+```text
+https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+```
+
+The implementation may proceed against fictional fixtures and a controlled APS test
+account before APS confirms Fastly/edge-originated production support. Lack of that
+confirmation is a rollout gate, not an implementation blocker.
+
+---
+

+| Decision                  | Resolution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Edge/server support       | Implement and test now; do not claim production support until APS confirms it for the account.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| APS SDK identity          | Send `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"`, which APS has approved as the starting identity. Match the current adapter version with `ext.sdk.version = "2.2.0"`.                                                                                                                                   |
+| Creative response payload | Send an exact allowlisted envelope containing one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently fall back to the full response.                                                                                |
+| Sandbox compatibility     | APS confirmed `allow-same-origin` compatibility, but Trusted Server must not grant it on the outer security boundary. The outer renderer iframe has an opaque origin; descendant APS frames cannot relax an ancestor sandbox restriction. `script` remains disabled until browser proof. |
+| APS notifications         | Do not expose or fire APS `nurl`/`burl` in this issue. The fixed APS runner owns creative tracking until APS approves a separate notification contract.                                                                                                                                  |
+| APS user sync             | Out of scope. Do not expose or execute `ext.userSyncs`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| Migration                 | Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` only as a configuration alias; do not retain a legacy/OpenRTB protocol switch.                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| Native APS coexistence    | When a Trusted Server APS renderer descriptor is present, Trusted Server must not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The test cohort must disable native APS demand to avoid duplicate participation.                                                                                       |

+
+## 3. Primary upstream evidence
+
+The design follows immutable official APS/Prebid sources:
+
+- [APS endpoint and adapter version](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L16-L21)
+- [OpenRTB request enrichment and privacy filtering](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L118-L187)
+- [Request dispatch](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L247-L265)
+- [Creative construction](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L279-L313)
+- [Purpose-1-gated user sync behavior](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L322-L345)
+- [Official APS adapter documentation and capability metadata](https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/blob/adc4af1425c3433c81ee85560519cab0f7d17887/dev-docs/aps.md)
+
+The capability metadata says `pbjs: true` and `pbs: false`. The public source proves
+browser Prebid behavior; it does not by itself establish an approved production
+server-to-server contract for Fastly or another edge runtime.
+
+The immutable adapter test fixture is not a renderer contract: it accepts a banner bid
+whose extension contains only `bidder`, then verifies that the adapter builds the
+script wrapper. The unversioned live `prebid-creative.js` observed on 2026-07-15
+(SHA-256 `ac99774f4d0f6b34aed7584952661007125345b7433970edd832e8451f9a6aef`)
+requires `bid.id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. This
+live-runner observation is intentionally treated as unverified behavior: the official
+fixture must safe-drop in Trusted Server, while controlled-account responses provide
+the separate renderer-compatible test path.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current-state problems
+
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs` currently:
+
+- POSTs a private `pubId`/`slots`/`pageUrl` payload to `/e/dtb/bid`;
+- requires per-slot `bidders.aps.slotID` or falls back to the incoming slot ID;
+- parses `contextual.slots` rather than OpenRTB `seatbid`;
+- stores encoded `amznbid`/`amznp` values in metadata;
+- sets `Bid.price = None` and `Bid.creative = None`; and
+- therefore cannot produce a direct no-mediator winner or a normal creative.
+
+The generic winner selector intentionally ignores price-less bids. The publisher bid
+map also starts from `bid.price`, so the current behavior is internally consistent but
+cannot satisfy #764.
+
+The existing Prebid provider has a mature OpenRTB builder, but that builder also owns
+PBS-specific bidder params, stored requests, request signing, debug behavior,
+`ext.prebid`, and consent-forwarding policy. Reusing it wholesale would couple APS to
+PBS and increase regression risk.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scope and non-goals
+
+### 5.1 In scope
+
+- APS banner OpenRTB request construction.
+- APS OpenRTB response/no-bid parsing.
+- Decoded-price direct winner selection.
+- A typed APS renderer descriptor.
+- APS creative rendering in both:
+  - direct `POST /auction` TSJS rendering; and
+  - publisher navigation/page-bids through the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge.
+- Safe aggregate diagnostics.
+- Configuration and documentation migration.
+- Controlled APS account/browser testing for `iframe` and `script` tag types.
+
+### 5.2 Out of scope
+
+- APS video/VAST support. Although the upstream adapter advertises video, this issue
+  enables banner only until Trusted Server has a designed video delivery path.
+- APS `ext.userSyncs` execution or exposure.
+- A generic third-party renderer framework for arbitrary providers.
+- Refactoring the entire Prebid OpenRTB builder.
+- Retaining the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` request/parser behind a runtime switch.
+- Server-side creative URL fetching or caching.
+- Changes to the global HTML sanitizer's allowed elements or attributes.
+- Production support claims before APS account-team confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Configuration contract and cutover
+
+The canonical configuration becomes:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.aps]
+enabled = false
+account_id = "example-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
+timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
+```
+
+### 6.1 Compatibility
+
+- Rename `pub_id` to `account_id` in the Rust type, example configuration, and docs.
+- Accept `pub_id` as a serde alias for `account_id` for existing operator configs.
+- Continue accepting a string or integer value during migration. Trim strings, reject
+  empty-after-trim values, and normalize integers to strings.
+- If both names are supplied, deserialization must fail as a duplicate field rather
+  than silently selecting one.
+- Keep `endpoint` as an operator-owned test/override setting, but require HTTPS with a
+  non-empty host and no URL credentials. Its configured endpoint must implement this
+  OpenRTB contract; it is not a legacy-protocol switch. There is no plaintext test
+  exception because the APS response is trusted to select an executable renderer.
+- APS remains disabled by default.
+- `allow_script_creatives` is a separate server-side capability gate and defaults to
+  `false`. It may be set to `true` only for an isolated test cohort after the
+  restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin Playwright proof passes, and may remain enabled for
+  production only after controlled-account `tagtype=script` validation.
+
+### 6.2 Slot configuration
+
+The OpenRTB impression ID is the Trusted Server slot ID. APS's official adapter has no
+per-impression bidder parameters, so the provider no longer reads
+`bidders.aps.slotID`. Existing generic creative-opportunity configuration may continue
+to deserialize that value during migration, but APS documentation must mark it unused
+and remove it from new examples.
+
+---
+
+## 7. APS OpenRTB request design
+
+### 7.1 Builder boundary
+
+Implement an APS-specific builder in `integrations/aps.rs` using the generated types
+re-exported by `openrtb.rs`.
+
+Do not make `PrebidAuctionProvider::to_openrtb` public. Initially duplicate the small
+common mappings so APS policy remains explicit. A provider-neutral helper may be
+extracted later only when tests prove byte-for-byte parity for the fields it owns.
+
+### 7.2 Request shape
+
+For each eligible slot, emit one `imp`:
+
+- `imp.id = slot.id`;
+- banner-only `banner.format` entries for valid dimensions;
+- first valid format in `banner.w`/`banner.h` for APS compatibility;
+- `bidfloor` and `bidfloorcur = "USD"` when a floor exists;
+- `banner.topframe = 0`, matching the official framed-delivery fixture;
+- `secure = 1` unconditionally because APS creative delivery is HTTPS-only; and
+- no `imp.ext.prebid`, stored request, or bidder-parameter extension.
+
+At request level emit:
+
+- `id = AuctionRequest.id`;
+- `tmax = context.timeout_ms`, the same effective budget enforced by the backend;
+- `cur = ["USD"]`;
+- `site.domain`, `site.page`, publisher data, and a valid referrer when known;
+- consent-allowed `user.id` and already-gated EIDs;
+- trusted device UA and client IP;
+- coarse device geo with latitude and longitude explicitly omitted;
+- valid `Accept-Language` and DNT signals from the downstream request;
+- TCF, USP, GPP, and GPP SID signals in their existing Trusted Server OpenRTB
+  placements. COPPA remains omitted because Trusted Server has no trusted COPPA signal
+  source in this issue; and
+- APS request extension:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "account": "example-account-id",
+    "sdk": {
+      "source": "prebid",
+      "version": "2.2.0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Page and referrer provenance
+
+- Publisher navigation and page-bids continue using the server-derived scheme, host,
+  and matched request path.
+- `POST /auction` should use a valid same-publisher `Referer` URL as the current page
+  instead of always reducing the page to `https://<configured-domain>`; otherwise it
+  falls back to the configured publisher origin.
+- A candidate URL must use HTTP(S), have no userinfo, be length-bounded, and match the
+  configured publisher host before it can become `site.page`.
+- `site.ref` is emitted only when a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` differs from the
+  normalized current page. If the endpoint request's `Referer` is simply the current
+  page, omit `site.ref` rather than mislabeling it as the document's prior referrer.
+- Do not add an unrestricted client-provided URL or copy arbitrary headers.
+
+### 7.4 Privacy rules
+
+The provider consumes the privacy-filtered `AuctionRequest`; it does not independently
+weaken endpoint decisions.
+
+- Existing auction consent denial still returns before contacting APS.
+- APS only receives `request.user.eids`, which endpoint code has already gated.
+- Do not serialize `user.data`, `user.keywords`, `user.gender`, `yob`, `customdata`, or
+  arbitrary context into APS.
+- Remove precise `device.geo.lat` and `device.geo.lon` even if available.
+- Do not forward browser cookies or arbitrary X-\* headers to APS.
+- Request and response payloads may be logged only at TRACE.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Response validation and unified bid mapping
+
+Parse the response envelope as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields,
+and deserialize or validate each `seatbid[].bid[]` independently. This preserves valid
+siblings when one bid has a wrong field type while retaining extension maps needed for
+APS creative metadata. Syntactically invalid JSON still fails the whole response.
+
+### 8.1 Response-level validation
+
+- HTTP `204 No Content` is a normal APS no-bid and returns before body collection or
+  JSON parsing.
+- Other non-success HTTP statuses produce provider `Error` without reflecting the body.
+- Body collection remains capped by `UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES`.
+- Invalid JSON, including a non-representable numeric literal such as an overflowing
+  exponent under the repository's default `serde_json` configuration, or a legacy
+  `contextual` envelope is an error with safe reason `unexpected_response_shape`.
+- Empty/missing `seatbid`, or seat bids containing no bids, is a normal no-bid.
+- Currency must be absent or case-insensitive USD. A non-USD response is dropped
+  because Trusted Server has no currency conversion before winner comparison.
+- Top-level `ext.userSyncs` is ignored and must not enter diagnostics or renderer data.
+
+### 8.2 Bid-level validation
+
+A bid is eligible only when:
+
+- `impid` matches a slot in the request;
+- `price` is finite and non-negative;
+- `mtype` is absent or banner-compatible;
+- `w` and `h` are both present, non-zero, safely convert to `u32`, and are compatible
+  with the requested slot; and
+- it has APS `ext.creativeurl` plus a usable bid ID and an eligible `ext.tagtype`:
+  `iframe` is eligible, while `script` is eligible only when the server-side
+  `allow_script_creatives` capability is enabled. This check happens before candidate
+  reduction and winner selection, so a disabled or otherwise unrenderable script bid
+  cannot win and blank the slot.
+
+An APS `adm` without a valid renderer descriptor is not independently renderable in the
+normal publisher flow and must therefore be dropped. If APS supplies `adm` alongside a
+valid descriptor, remove all markup from the minimized envelope and do not copy it into
+`Bid.creative`. If controlled testing proves markup is required, stop for a separate
+security review rather than forwarding it unsanitized.
+
+`creativeurl` must be an HTTPS URL without userinfo, must not match the configured
+publisher origin, and must stay within a bounded serialized length. Validate the same
+rules again in the browser. It comes only from the HTTPS APS endpoint response, never
+from the client. Unknown tag types and recognized-but-disabled `script` bids are dropped rather than
+passed through.
+
+The pinned official adapter response fixture lacks `creativeurl` and `tagtype`; Trusted
+Server must include that fixture as an expected safe-drop test. A separate fictional
+fixture models the live runner's required extension fields. Controlled APS-account
+validation of both observed tag types remains a rollout prerequisite.
+
+### 8.3 Unified fields and APS candidate reduction
+
+Extend `Bid` with generic identifiers and a typed optional renderer:
+
+```text
+bid_id       <- OpenRTB bid.id
+ad_id        <- OpenRTB bid.adid
+creative_id  <- optional OpenRTB bid.crid
+renderer     <- typed APS renderer descriptor for every accepted APS bid
+```
+
+Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"` unconditionally. Upstream `seat` and `ext.bidder` are APS
+network metadata, not the adapter identity; normalize them only into bounded internal
+fields if an operational consumer is identified, otherwise discard them. Missing,
+numeric, or unexpected seat values do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid and never
+become `hb_bidder`.
+
+Map decoded price, currency, `impid`, dimensions, and `adomain`. Do not map APS `nurl`
+or `burl` in this issue; the vendor runner owns APS creative tracking until a separate
+notification policy is approved.
+
+Before returning `AuctionResponse`, collapse multiple valid APS candidates for the same
+impression to one candidate: highest decoded price wins, with lexicographically lowest
+bid ID as a deterministic tie-break. This produces the same APS result as direct
+winner selection and prevents the current mediator's `(provider, slot, bidder)`
+last-write-wins index from attaching another APS bid's renderer. The mediator still
+restores `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and `renderer` for that single APS candidate.
+A two-bids/same-slot/same-seat test is mandatory.
+
+### 8.4 Diagnostics
+
+`AuctionResponse.metadata` may contain only bounded aggregate fields, for example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid_count": 1,
+  "accepted_bid_count": 1,
+  "dropped_bid_count": 0,
+  "drop_reasons": {}
+}
+```
+
+Allowed reason keys are fixed enums such as:
+
+- `empty_seatbid`;
+- `unknown_impid`;
+- `invalid_price`;
+- `unsupported_currency`;
+- `unsupported_media_type`;
+- `invalid_dimensions`;
+- `missing_render_source`;
+- `unsupported_tagtype`;
+- `script_rendering_disabled`;
+- `invalid_creative_url`;
+- `render_payload_too_large`; and
+- `unexpected_response_shape`.
+
+Do not include account IDs, bid IDs, URLs, tokens, consent strings, raw extensions, or
+raw bodies in INFO/WARN diagnostics or client-facing provider summaries.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Exact APS renderer response envelope
+
+The official adapter gives `prebid-creative.js` the base64-encoded complete response
+and selected bid ID. Trusted Server instead sends an exact allowlisted envelope based
+on the fields required by the live runner observed on 2026-07-15:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid": [
+    {
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The allowlist is exact:
+
+- root: `seatbid` only;
+- selected seat object: `bid` only;
+- selected bid: `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext` only; and
+- selected bid extension: `creativeurl` and `tagtype` only.
+
+Do not include top-level ID/currency/extensions, upstream seat, `impid`, `adid`, `crid`,
+`adomain`, notifications, markup, native data, user syncs, unknown extensions, sibling
+bids, or losing seats. Unknown fields may exist transiently while the server validates
+an upstream bid, but they are discarded before renderer construction.
+
+Serialize the allowlisted object once, enforce a 256 KiB pre-base64 maximum, then
+base64 encode with the standard alphabet. Store it in the typed renderer descriptor,
+not general metadata. If the envelope exceeds the cap, drop the bid as non-renderable.
+If controlled APS testing proves the exact envelope insufficient, stop and review the
+specific missing field with APS; do not widen it or fall back to the full response
+automatically.
+
+A single fictional golden fixture under the TSJS test fixtures is the source of truth:
+Rust serialization must equal it, and TypeScript parsing/validation/render-dispatch
+tests must consume that same file.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Renderer descriptor and browser wire formats
+
+### 10.1 Typed descriptor
+
+The Rust and TypeScript contracts represent the same versioned data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "aps",
+  "version": 1,
+  "accountId": "example-account-id",
+  "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "tagType": "iframe",
+  "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+  "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+  "width": 300,
+  "height": 250
+}
+```
+
+Only `iframe` and `script` are valid tag-type values. `creativeId` is optional and is
+omitted when APS does not return `crid`; the live runner does not consume it. Version
+mismatch is fail-closed. The APS account identifier is not a secret, but it must still
+be safely serialized and must never be hardcoded from a real account in repository
+fixtures.
+
+### 10.2 `POST /auction`
+
+For APS renderer bids, the OpenRTB response bid contains the complete descriptor:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "impid": "fictional-slot",
+  "price": 1.23,
+  "crid": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "w": 300,
+  "h": 250,
+  "ext": {
+    "trusted_server": {
+      "renderer": {
+        "type": "aps",
+        "version": 1,
+        "accountId": "example-account-id",
+        "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+        "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+        "tagType": "iframe",
+        "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+        "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+        "width": 300,
+        "height": 250
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`creativeId`/`crid` are omitted together when APS does not return `crid`. `adm` is
+omitted, not serialized as an empty string. Ordinary non-APS `adm` behavior is
+unchanged.
+
+### 10.3 Publisher navigation and page-bids
+
+`build_bid_map` adds the same complete descriptor as a normal, non-debug `renderer`
+property for APS winners:
+
+```json
+{
+  "fictional-slot": {
+    "hb_pb": "1.23",
+    "hb_bidder": "aps",
+    "hb_adid": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+    "renderer": {
+      "type": "aps",
+      "version": 1,
+      "accountId": "example-account-id",
+      "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+      "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+      "tagType": "iframe",
+      "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+      "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+      "width": 300,
+      "height": 250
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`hb_adid` priority becomes:
+
+1. PBS Cache UUID for cached Prebid bids;
+2. APS renderer selected bid ID;
+3. existing OpenRTB `adid` fallback.
+
+The complete renderer object is emitted only for the winning bid. It is not gated by
+`debug.inject_adm_for_testing`, and general bid metadata remains debug-only.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Browser rendering design
+
+### 11.1 Static renderer endpoint
+
+Do not put the APS initializer and runner into publisher-origin `srcdoc`. Register APS
+as a proxy-capable integration (without an automatic JS bundle) and serve a static
+renderer document at:
+
+```text
+GET /integrations/aps/renderer
+```
+
+The document contains only static Trusted Server initialization code and the fixed
+`https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js` script. Before loading the
+vendor runner, the static initializer reads a strictly encoded, cryptographically
+random per-frame nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it as the expected nonce,
+and removes the fragment from visible history. The fragment is not sent in the HTTP
+request. It then receives one versioned renderer descriptor from its embedding parent
+through `postMessage`, verifies `event.source === parent`, and requires the message
+nonce to equal the independently established expected nonce. After the first accepted
+message it removes the listener, initializes the account-keyed APS queue, dispatches
+`CustomEvent("prebid/creative/render", { detail: { aaxResponse, seatBidId } })`, and only
+then dynamically inserts the fixed runner script. On runner load or failure it sends a
+source-bound response carrying the accepted nonce. Because the sandboxed document has
+an opaque origin, both directions use `"*"` as the `postMessage` target origin and rely
+on the exact child/parent window, source checks, one-time fragment-bound nonce, and full
+descriptor validation.
+
+The descriptor is data, never generated script text. No APS-provided HTML, script text,
+URL, account value, or decoded JSON is concatenated into an executable context. The
+vendor runner URL is a compile-time constant. The response carries
+`Content-Type: text/html`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
+`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and a CSP `sandbox` directive containing the
+approved tokens without `allow-same-origin`. The response-level sandbox preserves the
+opaque boundary even if another embedding path omits its iframe sandbox attribute.
+
+### 11.2 Opaque outer sandbox
+
+Both direct and GPT flows load the static endpoint through `iframe.src`, not `srcdoc`,
+with this outer sandbox:
+
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+The outer boundary deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`. The live APS runner grants
+`allow-same-origin` to the nested frame it creates, but a descendant cannot relax an
+ancestor sandbox's origin restriction. Therefore both `iframe` and fetched-HTML
+`script` creatives remain under the outer opaque-origin boundary rather than inheriting
+the publisher origin.
+
+This is a compatibility hypothesis, not an assumption: the current runner also touches
+`frameElement` while resizing. `tagtype=script` is rejected server-side before winner
+selection while `allow_script_creatives` is false. The capability may be enabled for an
+isolated test cohort only after a real-browser test proves that the fixed runner renders
+and resizes correctly without publisher-origin access, and may be enabled beyond that
+cohort only after controlled-account validation. If either test fails, keep the gate
+off and obtain an APS-supported isolated renderer page/origin; do not add
+`allow-same-origin` back to the outer boundary.
+
+### 11.3 Browser validation of consumed data
+
+Before creating or messaging the renderer iframe, TSJS must decode `aaxResponse` and
+validate the exact envelope consumed by the vendor runner:
+
+- root contains only one `seatbid` entry;
+- that entry contains only one `bid`;
+- the bid has exactly `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`;
+- `ext` has exactly `creativeurl` and `tagtype`;
+- bid ID, dimensions, creative URL, and tag type equal the duplicated descriptor fields;
+- price is finite and non-negative;
+- tag type is `iframe`, or `script` from a response the server emitted only after its
+  default-off `allow_script_creatives` eligibility gate;
+- creative URL is bounded HTTPS without credentials and does not match the publisher
+  origin; and
+- no markup, notifications, syncs, or unknown fields are present.
+
+Validation happens before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation()`, iframe creation,
+or message dispatch. The static renderer document repeats the structural/message
+validation as defense in depth.
+
+### 11.4 Direct `/auction` flow
+
+`parseAuctionResponse` accepts either ordinary sanitized `adm` or a structurally typed
+renderer. The request loop performs the full decoded-envelope validation, dispatches a
+valid APS descriptor to `renderApsCreative`, and sends ordinary markup to
+`renderCreativeInline`.
+
+`renderApsCreative` generates at least 128 bits of randomness with
+`crypto.getRandomValues`, base64url-encodes it, and binds it to the static renderer URL
+as a fragment before assigning `iframe.src`. After load, it posts the validated
+descriptor with the same nonce, then waits for an exact source- and nonce-bound runner
+ready acknowledgement before clearing existing content or showing the frame. A runner
+failure or bounded acknowledgement timeout removes the hidden frame. A malformed
+descriptor, malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, replay, stale message, or runner load
+failure leaves existing slot content intact and emits a safe warning.
+
+### 11.5 GPT/page-bids flow
+
+Extend `installTsRenderBridge` while retaining the existing `Prebid Request` parsing and
+source-slot ownership validation. For a valid APS winner, return the exact serializable
+Prebid Universal Creative dynamic-renderer shape, including the supported renderer
+version. The static Trusted Server renderer source may only create the opaque outer
+iframe, load `/integrations/aps/renderer`, post the already validated descriptor, and
+resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound ready acknowledgement; APS or bidder code
+never executes in the Universal Creative renderer frame itself.
+Fixture-test this message against the deployed Universal Creative protocol rather than
+assuming a function can be structured-cloned. Include a trusted absolute
+`rendererUrl`, computed from the publisher page origin by TSJS, because a relative URL
+inside the GAM creative would resolve against the GAM origin. The dynamic renderer
+must accept only that data field and the validated APS descriptor.
+
+Call `stopImmediatePropagation()` only after ownership and complete envelope validation
+succeed. Preserve in-flight render deduplication, but do not invoke the generic
+win/billing beacon path for APS. Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache branches remain
+unchanged.
+
+When the winning bid has a Trusted Server APS renderer, do not call
+`apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The native APS SDK may remain installed by the CMS for other
+cohorts, but it is not the renderer or bid source for that TS winner.
+
+### 11.6 CSP and real-browser gate
+
+Because the outer frame navigates to a real response, it uses that response's CSP
+instead of inheriting publisher `srcdoc` CSP. The renderer endpoint starts from this
+explicit ad-compatible policy, tightened if controlled testing permits:
+
+```text
+default-src 'none';
+script-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+connect-src https:;
+frame-src https:;
+img-src https: data:;
+media-src https: blob:;
+style-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+font-src https: data:;
+```
+
+The publisher must permit `frame-src 'self'` for the direct renderer endpoint. The GAM
+Universal Creative context must also permit framing the absolute publisher renderer
+URL. The broad HTTPS resource allowances apply only inside the opaque sandbox and are
+required because the APS runner and bidder HTML may load arbitrary HTTPS ad resources.
+
+Add a Playwright test under `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser` with a
+restrictive publisher CSP. It must prove the renderer endpoint loads, APS initializes,
+both tag types obey the outer opaque-origin boundary, a fictional script creative
+cannot access `top.document`, and malformed descriptors do not clear the slot. The server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate stays false during normal winner
+selection until this test passes. It may then be enabled only for the controlled test
+cohort needed to validate real rendering and remains false elsewhere until that
+validation also passes.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Sanitization and security invariants
+
+- `sanitize_creative_html` remains mandatory for every ordinary
+  `Bid.creative`/`adm` value.
+- Its element, attribute, URI, size, and fail-closed rules do not change.
+- APS executable rendering is a separate typed capability; it is never disguised as
+  sanitized `adm`.
+- Only a server-validated APS descriptor with an exact browser-validated envelope can
+  select that capability.
+- Unknown providers cannot request the APS renderer through arbitrary metadata.
+- The server never fetches `creativeurl`, avoiding an SSRF/redirect/content-type
+  service in the auction path.
+- Server and browser both require a bounded HTTPS creative URL without credentials and
+  reject the publisher origin.
+- APS/bidder execution occurs only below an outer opaque-origin sandbox. No test may
+  treat absence of `innerHTML` alone as proof; cover `srcdoc`, script text,
+  `document.write`, and message-driven sinks.
+- Existing same-origin/no-CORS-preflight protection for page-bids remains unchanged.
+- Per-user injected HTML stays private/non-shared, and page-bids stays no-store.
+- Existing upstream body caps and auction deadlines remain in force.
+
+---
+
+## 13. APS notification policy
+
+Do not map APS `nurl` or `burl` into the shared browser bid map in this issue. The live
+APS runner owns creative tracking, the official fixture does not establish that Trusted
+Server should fire OpenRTB notifications, and the direct `/auction` path has no matching
+notification lifecycle.
+
+This also prevents an APS-controlled URL from causing a credentialed same-origin POST
+through the current generic `sendBeacon`/fetch helper. If APS later requires Trusted
+Server notification delivery, design it separately with one explicit owner, bounded
+HTTPS URLs, publisher-origin rejection, omitted credentials, no referrer, macro policy,
+and equivalent direct/GPT tests. Existing non-APS notification behavior is unchanged by
+#764.
+
+---
+
+## 14. User sync policy
+
+APS user sync is explicitly out of scope:
+
+- ignore `BidResponse.ext.userSyncs`;
+- do not put sync URLs into `AuctionResponse.metadata`;
+- do not include them in the minimized renderer envelope;
+- do not fetch them at the edge; and
+- do not add image/iframe sync behavior to TSJS.
+
+A future implementation requires a separate spec covering Purpose 1, regional policy,
+URL allowlisting, deduplication, browser timing, and observability.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Logging and telemetry
+
+- Request/response bodies: TRACE only.
+- Routine request log: provider and eligible slot count, without account ID.
+- Routine response log: status, elapsed time, accepted count, and bounded dropped
+  count.
+- WARN: static condition plus slot/request-safe context; never include response body,
+  creative URL, bid token, EID, consent string, or account ID.
+- Client-facing provider summaries: aggregate reason keys/counts only.
+- Existing auction telemetry receives decoded price, currency, ad domain, and ad ID.
+  It must not receive the encoded renderer envelope.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Rollout and rollback
+
+### 16.1 Controlled rollout
+
+1. Implement server parsing and exact fictional fixtures with APS disabled and
+   `allow_script_creatives = false` by default.
+2. Prove disabled script bids are dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+3. Pass the restrictive-CSP Playwright and opaque-origin access tests using the local
+   fictional script runner while the server gate remains false for normal traffic.
+4. Configure a controlled APS test account out of band.
+5. Enable Trusted Server APS only for a test cohort, disable native APS demand there,
+   and temporarily set `allow_script_creatives = true` only for that isolated cohort.
+6. Verify the official fixture safe-drops and a real account returns the unverified
+   `creativeurl`/`tagtype` contract.
+7. Verify both observed tag types through direct and GPT paths. If script cannot operate
+   below the opaque outer sandbox, set the gate false again and stop.
+8. Confirm the exact allowlisted envelope works with `prebid-creative.js`.
+9. Confirm GAM line items and the Universal Creative route request `hb_bidder=aps` and
+   the selected `hb_adid`.
+10. Obtain APS confirmation for Fastly/edge-originated production traffic before broad
+    rollout.
+
+### 16.2 Rollback
+
+- Immediate traffic rollback: set `[integrations.aps].enabled = false`.
+- Restore native APS participation for the affected cohort if required.
+- Binary rollback remains available if the old provider must temporarily be restored.
+- The new code does not retain a dormant legacy parser or protocol switch.

+
+---
+
+## 18. Acceptance criteria
+
+1. APS receives the specified OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot with
+   `topframe=0` and `secure=1`.
+2. Request fixtures prove trimmed account/SDK/USD, floors, trusted page/device context,
+   consent/EIDs, existing privacy registrations, and omission of precise coordinates
+   and unsupported COPPA claims.
+3. HTTP 204 and empty `seatbid` are no-bids; malformed/legacy responses are safely
+   diagnosed.
+4. The official no-renderer fixture safe-drops; every accepted APS bid has present,
+   valid `w`/`h` and the unverified-but-validated URL/tag-type renderer contract.
+5. `Bid.bidder`/`hb_bidder` are always `aps`, independent of upstream seat.
+6. Multiple APS bids for one impression reduce deterministically to one candidate, and
+   mediation cannot restore another candidate's renderer.
+7. APS can win without a mediator and is rejected normally below the floor.
+8. The browser envelope contains exactly the allowlisted fields and matches the full
+   descriptor; Rust and TypeScript share one golden fixture.
+9. The outer renderer iframe has no `allow-same-origin`; descendant iframe/script
+   creatives cannot access publisher DOM in the restrictive-CSP Playwright test.
+10. `allow_script_creatives` defaults false; while false, script bids are dropped before
+    candidate reduction and cannot win. It is enabled only under the staged browser and
+    controlled-account policy; otherwise script remains fail-closed.
+11. The renderer binds a one-time nonce through the iframe URL fragment before
+    messaging and rejects malformed, mismatched, replayed, or stale messages before
+    clearing content or stopping another renderer handler.
+12. Ordinary non-APS `adm` sanitization and PBS Cache rendering remain unchanged.
+13. APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` browser delivery remain absent.
+14. Native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for a TS APS renderer winner.
+15. Raw request/response bodies remain TRACE-only.
+16. All repository CI, adapter, JS, browser, parity, and docs-format gates pass.

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
+- Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

+Set `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` together only when the public deployment hostname differs from the inventory identity authorized by APS. The domain becomes `site.domain`.

These values come only from operator configuration; Trusted Server never accepts APS inventory identity from the client auction payload.

 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.
+- Preserved APS renderer capabilities through the client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, allowing its generated `hb_adid` to render through GAM and Prebid Universal Creative instead of producing an empty creative.

 ### Added
 
+- Added opt-in APS HTTP debug metadata for controlled test sites, exposing the direct request and response under `/auction` provider metadata using the Prebid Server `debug.httpcalls` shape.
 - Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)

+Set `debug = true` under `[integrations.aps]` to include the direct APS HTTP exchange in the APS provider summary returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "debug": {
+      "httpcalls": {
+        "aps": [
+          {

+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This follows the Prebid Server `metadata.debug.httpcalls` representation. APS makes one direct HTTP call per auction, so the map uses the provider key `aps` with one entry. Request and captured response bodies are strings, and header values are arrays so repeated headers are preserved. If a non-success response body cannot be read within the existing 2 MiB upstream limit, `responsebody` is omitted rather than reported as an empty body. APS does not add PBS-only `resolvedrequest` or `bidstatus` fields.
+
+The debug exchange is emitted for successful responses, `204 No Content`, malformed response bodies, and non-success HTTP statuses. Transport failures and auction timeouts happen before an HTTP response reaches the parser and continue to use the orchestrator's normal error metadata.

Subject: [PATCH 074/494] Omit zero creative dimensions so the bridge falls
 back
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Missing OpenRTB w/h parse to 0, and build_bid_map emitted them as w:0/h:0.
The bridge nullish-coalesces (matchedBid.w ?? fallback), so 0 was kept
rather than falling back to the slot format — sizing the frame to 0.
Omit a non-positive dimension server-side, and treat a zero cached
dimension as absent in parseCachedBid, so the bridge falls back.

Subject: [PATCH 075/494] Scope the pbRender in-flight guard to the slot, not
 the bare adId
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The cache-fallback concurrency guard keyed on adId (hb_adid), which is not
unique per bid — two distinct slots sharing an hb_adid would have the
second's render cross-blocked. Not reachable today (a duplicate hb_adid
means no cache coordinates, so the cache path never runs), but the guard
relied on that invariant silently. Key the in-flight set on slotId|adId so
it dedups a genuine same-render race without colliding across slots.

Subject: [PATCH 076/494] Fix React #418 hydration mismatch from ad-slot
 injection on Next.js App Router

On a Next.js App Router publisher, Trusted Server's injection ran against
the SSR HTML before React hydrated, so the mutated DOM disagreed with the
RSC/flight payload and React threw #418, recovering by re-rendering the
affected subtrees (visible flashes/reflow). Live A/B against prod (gated by
the ts-tester cookie) isolated the actual trigger: pure publisher throws 0
#418, TS activation introduces it, and the count tracks whether adInit
processes ad slots.

Three hydration-safety changes, most-to-least load-bearing:

- Defer the initial adInit() call until after hydration. adInit defines GPT
  slots on the publisher's `-container` wrappers, mutating those ad-slot
  subtrees; the </body> bids bootstrap called it synchronously at parse time,
  landing the mutation inside React's hydration window. It now runs after
  window `load` plus a double requestAnimationFrame (run-once, no retry
  timer). This is the change that drives #418 to 0 while ads still render.

- Append the tsjs head bundle at the end of <head> instead of prepending it.
  React hydrates <head> children in order; a prepended <script> shifts the
  origin's first child (`<meta>`) and mismatches. Appending keeps the origin
  head children in their original positions. Golden tests updated to assert
  head-end injection.

- Rewrite third-party integration hosts inside the streamed RSC flight to
  match the first-party `/integrations/...` paths already applied to the DOM.
  Previously the DOM was rewritten but the flight still carried the original
  host, so the two disagreed on those tags. Runs per <script> chunk, gated on
  __next_f/__next_s, preserving streaming; the nextjs integration stays
  disabled.

Verified end to end through the dev proxy against the live publisher: #418
goes from 1-2 to 0 across runs with TS still defining its 3 container slots
and ads rendering.

Subject: [PATCH 077/494] Defer initial adInit until after React hydration on
 Next.js App Router
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

On a Next.js App Router publisher, `adInit()` defines GPT slots on the
publisher's `-container` wrappers, mutating those ad-slot subtrees. The
`</body>` bids bootstrap called it synchronously at parse time, landing that
mutation inside React's hydration window, so React threw #418 and re-rendered
the affected subtrees (visible flashes/reflow).

A live A/B — toggling TS on the same page via the tester cookie — isolated the
trigger: the pure publisher throws 0 #418, TS activation introduces it, and the
count tracks whether adInit processes ad slots (not the injection position).

adInit is now deferred to after hydration: gated on window `load`, then a double
`requestAnimationFrame`. Run-once, no retry timer.

Deferring opens a window in which an SPA navigation can commit a new route (and
run its own adInit via the SPA auction hook) before the callback fires, so the
callback captures the route it was scheduled for and no-ops when the route has
changed — otherwise it would re-run adInit against the newer route's live
slots/bids, destroying and redefining that route's TS slots and refreshing it
twice. Browser globals are window-qualified so a page-level lexical binding
cannot shadow them.

Verified end to end through the dev proxy against a live App Router publisher:
#418 goes from 1-2 to 0 with TS still defining its container slots and ads
rendering.

 ### Changed
 
-- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout. APS renderer winners now preserve the upstream bid `id`, omit `crid` when APS omits it, and carry `ext.trusted_server.renderer` instead of `adm`; external `/auction` consumers must support this response shape.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

 ## Next Steps
 
-1. **Test with real Prebid Server** - Verify Prebid bids work correctly
-2. **Implement real APS** - Replace mock with actual Amazon TAM API calls
-3. **Implement real GAM** - Add Google Ad Manager API integration
-4. **Add metrics** - Track bid rates, win rates, latency per provider
+1. **Verify Prebid Server demand** - Confirm configured bidders return expected test bids
+2. **Verify APS eligibility** - Confirm the test account, inventory identity, and `/e/pb/bid` endpoint are authorized
+3. **Exercise renderer security** - Run the APS browser integration suite for iframe and script creatives
+4. **Add metrics** - Track bid rates, win rates, latency, and aggregate drop reasons per provider

+## Provider Behavior
 
 ### APS (Amazon)
-- Returns bids for all slots
-- Default mock price: $2.50 CPM
-- Always returns 2 bids
-- Response time: ~80ms (simulated)
+- Sends real OpenRTB requests for eligible banner slots
+- Safely drops malformed, unsupported, or unrenderable bids and reports aggregate reasons
+- Reduces multiple APS candidates to one winner per impression
+- Returns typed renderer descriptors rather than exposing `adm` outside the sandbox
+- Automated tests intercept upstream traffic and use fictional response fixtures
 
 ### AdServer Mock
 - Acts as mediator by calling mocktioneer's mediation endpoint

Subject: [PATCH 082/494] Attribute navigation auction telemetry to the
 configured publisher domain

The navigation-path AuctionObservationContext still took its
publisher_domain from the incoming edge Host header, so telemetry rows
for initial and SPA navigations were attributed to the edge/staging host
while /auction rows and outbound bid requests used the configured
publisher domain.

Both observation constructors now use settings.publisher.domain.

Add handler-level coverage for both navigation paths: the previous
regression test called build_auction_request directly and would keep
passing if a call site reverted to request_info.host, since both sources
are &str. The new tests drive handle_publisher_request and
handle_page_bids with a divergent edge host, capture the dispatched
AuctionRequest through a recording provider, and assert both the bid
request fields and the emitted telemetry rows carry the configured
domain. Verified they fail when either the builder argument or the
observation argument is reverted.

+# SSAT Root Document 304 Prevention Design
+
+## Problem
+
+An auction-eligible publisher navigation can currently return `304 Not Modified`
+on reload. Trusted Server starts the server-side auction before fetching the
+publisher document, but a 304 has no HTML body. The HTML processor therefore
+cannot inject the current request's slot state or auction result, and the browser
+reuses a previously synthesized document.
+
+The behavior has two independent causes:
+
+- Trusted Server forwards browser validators (`If-None-Match` and
+  `If-Modified-Since`) to the publisher origin.
+- The Fastly adapter sends publisher requests through its read-through cache.
+
+Successful synthesized HTML is also returned with `private, max-age=0` while
+retaining the publisher's `ETag` and `Last-Modified`. That explicitly permits
+browser storage and revalidation even though those validators describe the
+unmodified origin representation, not the personalized document returned by
+Trusted Server.
+
+## Scope
+
+This change applies only when the existing `should_run_ad_stack` decision is
+true. That decision already limits the path to GET document navigations that are
+not prefetches or bots and that have matched ad slots, permitted consent, and an
+enabled auction.
+
+The change does not alter:
+
+- HEAD requests;
+- bots or prefetches;
+- requests without matching slots or auction consent;
+- publisher requests when the auction is disabled;
+- static Trusted Server assets and their intentional conditional responses;
+- the `/page-bids` client-side auction endpoint; or
+- auction identifiers.
+
+## Design
+
+### Publisher request
+
+Immediately before the publisher-origin fetch, an auction-eligible request will
+remove `If-None-Match` and `If-Modified-Since`. This forces the publisher origin
+to return a complete representation instead of validating a browser-cached
+copy.
+
+The corresponding `PlatformHttpRequest` will carry an explicit, default-false
+cache-bypass option. The Fastly adapter will translate that option to
+`fastly::Request::set_pass(true)` before both synchronous and asynchronous sends.
+All other `PlatformHttpRequest` call sites retain their current behavior because
+the option defaults to false. Adapters without an intermediary read-through
+cache require no runtime change.
+
+This bypass is deliberately scoped to the publisher fetch for an eligible SSAT
+navigation. It must not be set on assets, image optimization, SSP fan-out, or
+integration calls.
+
+### Publisher response
+
+When the eligible publisher response is HTML, Trusted Server will:
+
+- set `Cache-Control: private, no-store`;
+- remove `ETag` and `Last-Modified`;
+- continue removing `Surrogate-Control` and
+  `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`.
+
+`no-store` is an intentional correctness choice. It prevents the browser from
+retaining a synthesized document that could later be resurrected through
+revalidation. This trades away some browser back/forward-cache eligibility and
+increases publisher-origin traffic, but it guarantees that an eligible
+navigation receives a fresh body for SSAT injection.
+
+### Unexpected origin 304
+
+An eligible publisher request will already be unconditional and will bypass the
+Fastly cache. If the publisher nevertheless returns 304, Trusted Server will not
+forward it to the browser. It will abandon the in-flight auction using a distinct
+reason and return a synthetic `502 Bad Gateway` response with
+`Cache-Control: private, no-store` and no validators or surrogate cache headers.
+
+The implementation will not retry. The first request is already unconditional
+and cache-bypassed, so repeating it is unlikely to produce a body and would add
+origin traffic and latency. Returning an explicit non-cacheable error is safer
+than allowing the browser to reuse stale personalized HTML.
+
+## Data Flow
+
+1. Trusted Server evaluates the existing SSAT eligibility gates.
+2. If eligible, it dispatches the server-side auction as it does today.
+3. Before the publisher fetch, it removes browser conditional headers and marks
+   the platform request as cache-bypassed.
+4. Fastly sends the request directly to the configured publisher backend.
+5. A complete HTML response enters the existing buffering/HTML injection path.
+6. Trusted Server injects current slot and auction data and removes all storage
+   and validation metadata before responding.
+7. If the origin unexpectedly returns 304, Trusted Server abandons the auction
+   and returns the non-cacheable 502 instead.
+
+## Error Handling and Observability
+
+Existing publisher transport-error handling remains unchanged. The unexpected
+304 case will reuse the existing abandoned-auction event mechanism with a
+specific reason such as `unexpected_origin_304`, allowing it to be distinguished
+from transport failures and ordinary bodiless responses.
+
+Noneligible publisher requests retain their existing 304 behavior. This avoids a
+global semantic change to the proxy and keeps normal conditional caching intact
+outside personalized SSAT documents.
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests will prove the behavior at the relevant boundaries:
+
+- `PlatformHttpRequest` defaults to ordinary cache behavior and its builder
+  enables bypass explicitly.
+- The Fastly adapter applies pass mode only when requested.
+- An eligible publisher request removes both conditional headers and requests a
+  platform cache bypass.
+- A noneligible request preserves its conditional headers and ordinary cache
+  behavior.
+- Eligible HTML receives `private, no-store` and has origin and surrogate
+  validators removed.
+- An eligible origin 304, with or without `Content-Type`, is never returned as a
+  client 304 and produces one abandoned-auction observation.
+- Existing HEAD, prefetch, bot, noneligible 304, asset, and `/page-bids` tests
+  remain unchanged.
+
+Targeted tests will be written before implementation. Final verification will
+use the repository's target-specific test, formatting, and lint commands rather
+than a bare workspace build or test.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Every eligible SSAT navigation reaches the publisher origin and transfers a
+  full document, increasing origin load and potentially TTFB.
+- `no-store` can reduce back/forward-cache effectiveness, depending on browser
+  behavior.
+- A publisher that incorrectly emits 304 for an unconditional request will now
+  expose a visible 502 instead of stale content. The distinct telemetry reason
+  makes this condition diagnosable.
+
+These costs are accepted because the requested invariant is that every eligible

+# SSAT Root Document 304 Prevention Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Guarantee that every auction-eligible SSAT navigation receives a complete, non-stored publisher document instead of a browser- or Fastly-generated 304.
+
+**Architecture:** Add a default-off cache-bypass capability to the platform HTTP request and map it to Fastly pass mode. The publisher path enables it only for the existing `should_run_ad_stack` gate, strips browser validators before the origin fetch, removes response validators while setting `private, no-store`, and converts an unexpected eligible-origin 304 into a non-cacheable 502 with abandoned-auction telemetry.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, `edgezero_core` HTTP types, Fastly Rust SDK 0.12.1, async traits, Viceroy tests, `error-stack`.
+
+---
+
+## File Map
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs` | Define the platform-neutral, default-off cache-bypass request option. |
+| `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs` | Record cache-bypass options in the shared stub HTTP client for publisher tests. |
+| `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs` | Translate the platform option to Fastly `Request::set_pass(true)` in both send paths. |
+| `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` | Apply the eligibility gate, strip validators, set the synthesized response policy, fail closed on unexpected 304, and test the complete behavior. |
+
+No configuration schema, JavaScript, `/page-bids`, auction-ID, asset, or integration files change.

+### Task 1: Add Platform Cache-Bypass Metadata and Test Recording
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing constructor and builder tests**
+
+Add these tests to `platform::http::tests`:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn platform_http_request_cache_bypass_defaults_to_false() {
+    let request = edgezero_core::http::request_builder()
+        .uri("https://example.com/")
+        .body(edgezero_core::body::Body::empty())
+        .expect("should build request");
+    let request = PlatformHttpRequest::new(request, "origin");
+
+    assert!(
+        !request.bypass_cache,
+        "ordinary platform requests should retain normal cache behavior"
+    );
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn platform_http_request_cache_bypass_builder_enables_bypass() {
+    let request = edgezero_core::http::request_builder()
+        .uri("https://example.com/")
+        .body(edgezero_core::body::Body::empty())
+        .expect("should build request");
+    let request = PlatformHttpRequest::new(request, "origin").with_cache_bypass();
+
+    assert!(
+        request.bypass_cache,
+        "cache-bypass builder should enable platform cache bypass"
+    );
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests and verify they fail**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly platform_http_request_cache_bypass -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: compilation fails because `bypass_cache` and `with_cache_bypass` do not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the minimal platform request option**
+
+Add a documented public field and builder to `PlatformHttpRequest`:
+
+```rust
+/// Whether the platform's intermediary response cache must be bypassed.
+///
+/// Adapters without an intermediary outbound cache may treat this as already
+/// satisfied. The option defaults to `false` so existing call sites preserve
+/// their current cache behavior.
+pub bypass_cache: bool,
+```
+
+Initialize it to `false` in `new`, then add:
+
+```rust
+/// Bypass the platform's intermediary response cache for this request.
+#[must_use]
+pub fn with_cache_bypass(mut self) -> Self {
+    self.bypass_cache = true;
+    self
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extend the shared HTTP stub**
+
+Add `cache_bypass_flags: Mutex<Vec<bool>>` to `StubHttpClient`, initialize it,
+record `request.bypass_cache` in both `send` and `send_async`, and expose:
+
+```rust
+pub fn recorded_cache_bypass_flags(&self) -> Vec<bool> {
+    self.cache_bypass_flags
+        .lock()
+        .expect("should lock cache bypass flags")
+        .clone()
+}
+```
+
+Record the flag before consuming `request.request`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run targeted platform tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly platform_http_request_cache_bypass -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly platform::test_support -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: both commands pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs
+git commit -m "Add platform HTTP cache bypass option"
+```
+
+### Task 2: Map Cache Bypass to Fastly Pass Mode
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing Fastly cache-override tests**
+
+Introduce a private helper named `apply_fastly_cache_bypass` and add tests that
+construct a `fastly::Request`, invoke the helper, and inspect the SDK's derived
+debug representation:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn apply_fastly_cache_bypass_sets_pass_when_enabled() {
+    let mut request = fastly::Request::get("https://example.com/");
+
+    apply_fastly_cache_bypass(&mut request, true);
+
+    assert!(
+        format!("{request:?}").contains("cache_override: Pass"),
+        "enabled bypass should select Fastly pass mode"
+    );
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn apply_fastly_cache_bypass_preserves_default_when_disabled() {
+    let mut request = fastly::Request::get("https://example.com/");
+
+    apply_fastly_cache_bypass(&mut request, false);
+
+    assert!(
+        format!("{request:?}").contains("cache_override: None"),
+        "disabled bypass should preserve Fastly read-through caching"
+    );
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests and verify they fail**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly apply_fastly_cache_bypass -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: compilation fails because the helper does not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement and use the Fastly mapping**
+
+Add:
+
+```rust
+fn apply_fastly_cache_bypass(request: &mut fastly::Request, bypass_cache: bool) {
+    if bypass_cache {
+        request.set_pass(true);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In `FastlyPlatformHttpClient::send`, copy `request.bypass_cache` before moving
+the inner request, make the converted Fastly request mutable, and invoke the
+helper before `.send()`.
+
+Do the same in `send_async` before `.send_async()`. Preserve the existing Image
+Optimizer and streaming-response rejection behavior.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run targeted Fastly adapter tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly apply_fastly_cache_bypass -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly fastly_platform_http_client -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: all matching tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs
+git commit -m "Bypass Fastly cache for marked HTTP requests"
+```
+
+### Task 3: Protect Eligible Publisher Requests and Successful HTML Responses
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add focused eligible- and ineligible-request test helpers**
+
+Add a `ssat_cache_policy_tests` module beside the existing handler-level test
+modules. Reuse `StubHttpClient`, `StubBackend`, no-op services, a
+non-regulated `EcContext`, a slot matching `/article`, and an enabled
+orchestrator. A launch-failing provider is sufficient for these policy tests:
+eligibility depends on the configured gate, not the dispatch outcome.
+
+The eligible request must be:
+
+```rust
+HttpRequest::builder()
+    .method(Method::GET)
+    .uri("https://ts.example.com/article")
+    .header(header::HOST, "ts.example.com")
+    .header("sec-fetch-dest", "document")
+    .header(header::IF_NONE_MATCH, "\"origin-tag\"")
+    .header(header::IF_MODIFIED_SINCE, "Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT")
+    .body(EdgeBody::empty())
+    .expect("should build eligible navigation")
+```
+
+Queue an origin 200 with `Content-Type: text/html`, `Cache-Control: public,
+max-age=300`, `ETag`, `Last-Modified`, `Surrogate-Control`, and
+`Fastly-Surrogate-Control`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing eligible-request test**
+
+Drive `handle_publisher_request` and assert:
+
+```rust
+assert_eq!(stub.recorded_cache_bypass_flags(), vec![true]);
+let origin_headers = stub
+    .recorded_request_headers()
+    .into_iter()
+    .last()
+    .expect("should record publisher request headers");
+assert!(!origin_headers.iter().any(|(name, _)| name == "if-none-match"));
+assert!(!origin_headers.iter().any(|(name, _)| name == "if-modified-since"));
+```
+
+Extract the response headers from the returned `PublisherResponse` and assert:
+
+```rust
+assert_eq!(
+    response.headers().get(header::CACHE_CONTROL),
+    Some(&HeaderValue::from_static("private, no-store"))
+);
+for name in [
+    header::ETAG.as_str(),
+    header::LAST_MODIFIED.as_str(),
+    "surrogate-control",
+    "fastly-surrogate-control",
+] {
+    assert!(response.headers().get(name).is_none(), "{name} should be removed");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the failing noneligible-request test**
+
+Use the existing `run_publisher_proxy` helper with no slots and the same
+conditional headers. Queue a normal response and assert:
+
+```rust
+assert_eq!(stub.recorded_cache_bypass_flags(), vec![false]);
+assert!(origin_headers.iter().any(|(name, _)| name == "if-none-match"));
+assert!(origin_headers.iter().any(|(name, _)| name == "if-modified-since"));
+```
+
+Also assert the origin's cache policy and validators remain unchanged. This is
+the regression guard for HEAD, bots, prefetches, no-slot pages, and every other
+request that fails the existing gate.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the publisher policy tests and verify they fail**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly ssat_cache_policy_tests -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: the eligible assertions fail because validators are forwarded,
+bypass is false, the response uses `private, max-age=0`, and validators remain.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement request protection**
+
+Immediately after auction dispatch and before URI/Host rewriting, add:
+
+```rust
+if should_run_ad_stack {
+    req.headers_mut().remove(header::IF_NONE_MATCH);
+    req.headers_mut().remove(header::IF_MODIFIED_SINCE);
+}
+```
+
+Build the publisher request once, conditionally apply the builder, and send it:
+
+```rust
+let platform_request = PlatformHttpRequest::new(req, backend_name);
+let platform_request = if should_run_ad_stack {
+    platform_request.with_cache_bypass()
+} else {
+    platform_request
+};
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Implement successful HTML response protection**
+
+Within the existing `should_run_ad_stack && is_html_content_type(...)` branch:
+
+```rust
+response.headers_mut().insert(
+    header::CACHE_CONTROL,
+    HeaderValue::from_static("private, no-store"),
+);
+response.headers_mut().remove(header::ETAG);
+response.headers_mut().remove(header::LAST_MODIFIED);
+response.headers_mut().remove("surrogate-control");
+response.headers_mut().remove("fastly-surrogate-control");
+```
+
+Update the adjacent rationale: synthesized, per-navigation auction state must
+not be stored or validated as though it were the origin representation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run targeted publisher tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly ssat_cache_policy_tests -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly publisher_request_uses_platform_http_client_with_http_types -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly response_carries_body_preserves_bodiless_metadata -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: all commands pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Prevent SSAT publisher document revalidation"
+```
+
+### Task 4: Fail Closed on an Unexpected Eligible-Origin 304
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a dispatching test provider**
+
+Within `ssat_cache_policy_tests`, add a provider whose `request_bids` sends one
+request through `context.services.http_client().send_async(...)`. Give it a
+stable backend name and make `parse_response` panic because an unexpected 304
+must abandon, not collect, the pending request.
+
+Queue responses in this order because `StubHttpClient` consumes the provider
+response during `send_async` before the publisher response during `send`:
+
+```rust
+stub.push_response(200, b"unused provider response".to_vec());
+stub.push_response_with_headers(
+    304,
+    Vec::new(),
+    vec![("etag", "\"origin-tag\"")],
+);
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing unexpected-304 test**
+
+Drive an eligible navigation with the dispatching provider and recording
+telemetry sink. Assert the returned variant is `PublisherResponse::Buffered`
+with:
+
+```rust
+assert_eq!(response.status(), StatusCode::BAD_GATEWAY);
+assert_eq!(
+    response.headers().get(header::CACHE_CONTROL),
+    Some(&HeaderValue::from_static("private, no-store"))
+);
+assert!(response.headers().get(header::ETAG).is_none());
+assert!(response.headers().get(header::LAST_MODIFIED).is_none());
+assert!(response.headers().get("surrogate-control").is_none());
+assert!(response.headers().get("fastly-surrogate-control").is_none());
+```
+
+Flatten telemetry rows and assert exactly one summary row has
+`terminal_status == Some("abandoned")` and
+`terminal_reason == Some("unexpected_origin_304")`. Assert no provider parse or
+auction collection occurred.
+
+Cover both a typical 304 without `Content-Type` and a 304 carrying
+`Content-Type: text/html` using a small table/helper so response classification
+cannot affect the guard.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the test fails**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly unexpected_origin_304 -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: the handler returns 304 and no `unexpected_origin_304` telemetry.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add a noneligible-304 regression test**
+
+Use `run_publisher_proxy` with no slots, queue a 304 carrying `ETag`,
+`Last-Modified`, and origin cache headers, and assert:
+
+```rust
+let response = match run_publisher_proxy(&settings, &services, request).await {
+    PublisherResponse::Buffered(response) => response,
+    _ => panic!("noneligible 304 should remain a buffered response"),
+};
+assert_eq!(response.status(), StatusCode::NOT_MODIFIED);
+assert_eq!(response.headers().get(header::ETAG), Some(&origin_etag));
+assert_eq!(
+    response.headers().get(header::LAST_MODIFIED),
+    Some(&origin_last_modified)
+);
+```
+
+Also assert the request used `bypass_cache == false` and preserved its incoming
+conditional headers. This proves the 304-to-502 guard is eligibility-scoped
+rather than global.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement the fail-closed guard before content classification**
+
+Immediately after receiving/logging the publisher response and before reading
+its content type:
+
+```rust
+if should_run_ad_stack && response.status() == StatusCode::NOT_MODIFIED {
+    if let Some(dispatched) = dispatched_auction.take() {
+        emit_abandoned_auction(
+            services,
+            auction_observation.take(),
+            dispatched,
+            "unexpected_origin_304",
+        )
+        .await;
+    }
+
+    let response = Response::builder()
+        .status(StatusCode::BAD_GATEWAY)
+        .header(header::CACHE_CONTROL, "private, no-store")
+        .header(header::CONTENT_TYPE, "text/plain; charset=utf-8")
+        .body(EdgeBody::from("Publisher origin returned an invalid conditional response"))
+        .change_context(TrustedServerError::Proxy {
+            message: "failed to build unexpected origin 304 response".to_string(),
+        })?;
+    return Ok(PublisherResponse::Buffered(response));
+}
+```
+
+Because the response is built from a fresh builder, it contains no origin
+validators or surrogate cache headers and still goes through the adapter's
+normal finalization after the publisher handler returns.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the unexpected-304 and generic bodiless tests**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly ssat_cache_policy_tests -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly response_carries_body_preserves_bodiless_metadata -- --nocapture
+cargo test-fastly serve_static -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Expected: eligible publisher 304 tests return 502; generic publisher/static
+conditional semantics remain passing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git commit -m "Reject unexpected SSAT origin 304 responses"
+```
+
+### Task 5: Full Verification and Scope Audit
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Verify only; modify production files only if a verification failure exposes a defect in the approved scope.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Format and inspect the diff**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all
+git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
+git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
+git status --short
+```
+
+Expected: formatting succeeds; no whitespace errors; only the spec, plan, two
+core platform files, publisher, and Fastly platform adapter are changed. Local
+`fastly.toml` remains untouched.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run all target-specific test suites**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly
+cargo test-axum
+cargo test-cloudflare
+cargo test-spin
+./scripts/test-cli.sh
+cargo test --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml --test parity
+```
+
+Expected: all tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run JavaScript and documentation gates**
+
+Run from `crates/trusted-server-js/lib`:
+
+```bash
+npx vitest run
+npm run format
+```
+
+Then run from `docs`:
+
+```bash
+npm run format
+```
+
+Expected: JavaScript tests pass and both format commands complete without
+errors. Inspect `git status --short` afterward; formatting must not introduce
+unrelated content changes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run formatting and target-specific lints/checks**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo clippy-fastly
+cargo clippy-axum
+cargo clippy-cloudflare
+cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+cargo clippy-spin-native
+cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+cargo check-fastly
+cargo check-axum
+cargo check-cloudflare
+cargo check-spin
+```
+
+Expected: all checks pass with no warnings promoted to errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Audit constructors and behavior boundaries**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+rg -n "with_cache_bypass|bypass_cache|set_pass" crates
+rg -n "If-None-Match|If-Modified-Since|private, no-store|unexpected_origin_304" crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs
+git diff origin/main...HEAD -- fastly.toml crates/trusted-server-js
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- `with_cache_bypass` is used only by the eligible publisher fetch.
+- Fastly honors the option in both send paths.
+- all other request constructors default to false;
+- `fastly.toml` and JavaScript have no branch diff.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit any formatting-only changes if needed**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/http.rs \
+  crates/trusted-server-core/src/platform/test_support.rs \
+  crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs \
+  crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/platform.rs
+git commit -m "Format SSAT 304 prevention changes"
+```
+
+Skip this commit when `cargo fmt --all` produces no new diff.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Request final code review**
+
+Run the repository's code-review workflow against `origin/main...HEAD`. Resolve
+only correctness, security, test, or approved-scope findings, then repeat the
+affected verification commands before reporting completion.

Subject: [PATCH 087/494] Handle oversized HEAD response metadata

HEAD Content-Length describes the corresponding GET representation, not
a body that will be buffered. Applying the buffered-response limit to
that metadata prevents valid S3 Image Optimizer preflights from
reaching their streamed GET request.

Subject: [PATCH 093/494] Make creative sanitization opt-in and restore
 creative iframe origin isolation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Creative sanitization ran unconditionally on every markup bid, stripping
`script`/`object`/`embed`/`form` and friends together with their inner content.
For script-based creatives — the majority of programmatic display — that leaves
nothing renderable, and the slot goes blank with no error: the leftover markup is
usually a tracking pixel, so the ad server reports a successful render.

Measured over 291 creative deliveries on a live publisher: a median 43% of bytes
removed, 29 creatives reduced by more than 80%, and 20 reduced below 500 bytes.
One bidder lost 100% of every creative; another lost 76% across 43 of them.

Add `auction.sanitize_creatives` so sanitization can be disabled where creatives
render in a foreign-origin frame (the Prebid Universal Creative inside the ad
server's iframe), and make both creative controls opt-in: `sanitize_creatives`
and `rewrite_creatives` now default to false, so a creative ships exactly as the
bidder returned it unless a publisher asks for processing.

Removing `allow-same-origin` from the creative iframe sandbox is part of the same
change rather than a follow-up. Sanitization was documented as "the primary
defense against malicious markup", with the sandbox as defense-in-depth — but the
sandbox granted `allow-same-origin` alongside `allow-scripts`, which removes its
origin isolation entirely. With sanitization now optional, that pairing would
leave creative markup able to reach publisher cookies, storage, and same-origin
fetches. The two sibling sandboxes (APS_RENDERER_SANDBOX, ADM_IFRAME_SANDBOX)
already omit the token for exactly this reason; this brings the third in line, so
the origin boundary no longer depends on an optional transform.

Note the default change alters behaviour for deployments that never set
`rewrite_creatives`: creative URL rewriting is now off unless enabled explicitly.

Verified end to end: creatives pass through byte-for-byte (triplelift 8902 ->
8902, openx 22069 -> 22069, previously 100% and 35% losses), page renders with
ads serving and no hydration errors.

From: Aram Grigoryan <132480+aram356@users.noreply.github.com>
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 11:24:15 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 094/494] Make creative sanitization opt-in and restore
 creative iframe origin isolation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Creative sanitization ran unconditionally on every markup bid, stripping
`script`/`object`/`embed`/`form` and friends together with their inner content.
For script-based creatives — the majority of programmatic display — that leaves
nothing renderable, and the slot goes blank with no error: the leftover markup is
usually a tracking pixel, so the ad server reports a successful render.

Measured over 291 creative deliveries on a live publisher: a median 43% of bytes
removed, 29 creatives reduced by more than 80%, and 20 reduced below 500 bytes.
One bidder lost 100% of every creative; another lost 76% across 43 of them.

Add `auction.sanitize_creatives` so sanitization can be disabled where creatives
render in a foreign-origin frame (the Prebid Universal Creative inside the ad
server's iframe), and make both creative controls opt-in: `sanitize_creatives`
and `rewrite_creatives` now default to false, so a creative ships exactly as the
bidder returned it unless a publisher asks for processing.

Removing `allow-same-origin` from the creative iframe sandbox is part of the same
change rather than a follow-up. Sanitization was documented as "the primary
defense against malicious markup", with the sandbox as defense-in-depth — but the
sandbox granted `allow-same-origin` alongside `allow-scripts`, which removes its
origin isolation entirely. With sanitization now optional, that pairing would
leave creative markup able to reach publisher cookies, storage, and same-origin
fetches. The two sibling sandboxes (APS_RENDERER_SANDBOX, ADM_IFRAME_SANDBOX)
already omit the token for exactly this reason; this brings the third in line, so
the origin boundary no longer depends on an optional transform.

Note the default change alters behaviour for deployments that never set
`rewrite_creatives`: creative URL rewriting is now off unless enabled explicitly.

Verified end to end: creatives pass through byte-for-byte (triplelift 8902 ->
8902, openx 22069 -> 22069, previously 100% and 35% losses), page renders with
ads serving and no hydration errors.

+# Per-Section `gam_unit_path` Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make `creative_opportunities.slot.gam_unit_path` a template with a
+`{section}` placeholder derived from the request path, so one slot rule serves
+all site sections instead of one rule per (slot × section).
+
+**Architecture:** Parse each slot's `gam_unit_path` into a cached template at
+startup (alongside the existing compiled-glob cache); reject malformed templates
+and a `{section}` template missing its `section_root`. At request time derive
+`{section}` from the raw path (sanitized) and render the template inside
+`build_slot_json`, which gains a `request_path` argument. Server-only — the
+client keeps receiving a resolved `gam_unit_path` string, so no JS change.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, `trusted-server-core`. Tests via `cargo test_details`
+(native host, `aarch64-apple-darwin`) for iteration and `cargo test-fastly`
+(core + fastly on `wasm32-wasip1` via Viceroy) for the CI gate.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-23-per-section-gam-unit-path-design.md`
+
+**Issue:** https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/954
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs`
+  - new: `UnitTemplatePart` enum, `parse_unit_template`, `sanitize_section`,
+    `derive_section`
+  - new on `CreativeOpportunitySlot`: `compiled_unit` field,
+    `compile_unit_template`, `render_gam_unit_path`, `template_uses_section`
+  - new on `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig`: `section_root` field,
+    `compile_unit_templates`; extend `validate_runtime`
+  - unit tests in the existing `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+  - `build_slot_json` gains `request_path: &str`; renders via `render_gam_unit_path`
+  - `build_ad_slots_script` gains `request_path: &str`; threads it through
+  - `handle_page_bids` passes its normalized `path` to `build_slot_json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs`
+  - `prepare_runtime` calls `compile_unit_templates` and surfaces parse errors
+- Modify: `docs/guide/configuration.md` (add creative_opportunities section)
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml` and the live autoblog config
+
+Notes on lifecycle: `page_patterns` inheritance is **out of scope** (sibling
+issue). Templates are parsed at startup and cached with `#[serde(skip)]`,
+mirroring the existing `compiled_patterns` field.

+```
+
+Add test helpers to `mod tests` if not present (adapt to the existing helper
+style in this module):
+
+```rust
+fn make_config_with_section_template(section_root: Option<&str>) -> CreativeOpportunitiesConfig {
+    let mut slot = make_slot("ad-header-0", vec!["/news/*"]);
+    slot.gam_unit_path = Some("/{network_id}/autoblog/{section}".to_string());
+    CreativeOpportunitiesConfig {

+        auction_timeout_ms: None,
+        price_granularity: PriceGranularity::default(),
+        section_root: section_root.map(str::to_string),
+        slot: vec![slot],
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `make_slot(id: &str, patterns: Vec<&str>)` helper **already exists** at
+`creative_opportunities.rs:443` and constructs a `CreativeOpportunitySlot` via
+struct-literal syntax. Because the struct uses `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]`
+and the helper names every field explicitly, adding `compiled_unit` to the
+struct makes this helper fail to compile until updated — see Step 3's helper-fix
+sub-step.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests, verify they fail**
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core creative_opportunities::tests`
+Expected: FAIL — missing `section_root`, `compiled_unit`, `compile_unit_template`,
+`render_gam_unit_path`, `compile_unit_templates`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the field, cache, methods, and validation**
+
+On `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig` (add field):
+
+```rust
+/// Value substituted for `{section}` when the request path has no first
+/// segment (e.g. `/`). Required when any slot's `gam_unit_path` template
+/// contains `{section}`. No default — a home-section name is publisher-specific.
+#[serde(default)]
+pub section_root: Option<String>,
+```
+
+On `CreativeOpportunitySlot` (add cached template, parallel to `compiled_patterns`):
+
+```rust
+/// Pre-parsed [`gam_unit_path`](Self::gam_unit_path) template, populated by
+/// [`compile_unit_template`](Self::compile_unit_template) at startup. `None`
+/// when the slot has no explicit `gam_unit_path` (uses the default path).
+#[serde(skip, default)]
+pub(crate) compiled_unit: Option<Vec<UnitTemplatePart>>,
+```
+
+Slot methods:
+
+```rust
+/// Parses [`gam_unit_path`](Self::gam_unit_path) into [`compiled_unit`](Self::compiled_unit).
+///
+/// # Errors
+///
+/// Returns an error string when the template is malformed (see
+/// [`parse_unit_template`]).
+pub fn compile_unit_template(&mut self) -> Result<(), String> {
+    self.compiled_unit = match &self.gam_unit_path {
+        Some(raw) => Some(parse_unit_template(raw).map_err(|e| format!("slot `{}`: {e}", self.id))?),
+        None => None,
+    };
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+/// Renders the resolved GAM unit path for a given network id and section.
+///
+/// Uses the parsed template when present, otherwise the default
+/// `/<network_id>/<id>`.
+#[must_use]
+pub fn render_gam_unit_path(&self, gam_network_id: &str, section: &str) -> String {
+    match &self.compiled_unit {
+        Some(parts) => parts
+            .iter()
+            .map(|part| match part {
+                UnitTemplatePart::Literal(s) => s.as_str(),
+                UnitTemplatePart::NetworkId => gam_network_id,
+                UnitTemplatePart::Section => section,
+                UnitTemplatePart::SlotId => self.id.as_str(),
+            })
+            .collect(),
+        None => format!("/{}/{}", gam_network_id, self.id),
+    }
+}
+
+/// Returns `true` if this slot's compiled template contains `{section}`.
+#[must_use]
+pub(crate) fn template_uses_section(&self) -> bool {
+    self.compiled_unit
+        .as_ref()
+        .is_some_and(|parts| parts.iter().any(|p| matches!(p, UnitTemplatePart::Section)))
+}
+```
+
+On `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig` (compile all templates + extend validation):
+
+```rust
+/// Parse every slot's `gam_unit_path` template. Call once after deserialization.
+///
+/// # Errors
+///
+/// Returns an error string when any slot's template is malformed.
+pub fn compile_unit_templates(&mut self) -> Result<(), String> {
+    for slot in &mut self.slot {
+        slot.compile_unit_template()?;
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+In `validate_runtime`, after the existing per-slot loop, add:
+
+```rust
+if self.slot.iter().any(CreativeOpportunitySlot::template_uses_section) {
+    match self.section_root.as_deref() {
+        Some(root)
+            if !root.is_empty()
+                && root.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_alphanumeric() || c == '_' || c == '-') => {}
+        _ => {
+            return Err(
+                "section_root is required and must match [A-Za-z0-9_-]+ when a \
+                 gam_unit_path template uses {section}"
+                    .to_string(),
+            );
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Remove the old path-render emptiness check in `validate_runtime`
+(the block calling `resolved_gam_unit_path(...).trim().is_empty()`); malformed or
+empty templates are now caught at parse time by `compile_unit_templates`, and a
+rendered result is non-empty by construction.
+
+**Update the existing test helper (required — adding `compiled_unit` breaks it):**
+Add `compiled_unit: None` to the `CreativeOpportunitySlot` struct-literal in
+`make_slot` at `crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs:443`.
+The struct uses `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` and the helper names every field,
+so a missing field is a compile error, not a `#[serde(default)]` fill-in.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests, verify they pass**
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core creative_opportunities::tests`
+Expected: PASS (Task 1–3 tests).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs
+git commit -m "Add section_root, unit-template compile/render, and startup validation"

+

+
+## Task 4: Render at request time (thread the path through publisher.rs)
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs` (remove now-unused `resolved_gam_unit_path`, or keep if other callers remain — grep first)
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`
+
+- [ ] **Step 0: Update publisher.rs struct-literal test helpers (required — new fields break them)**
+
+Adding `section_root` to `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig` and `compiled_unit` to
+`CreativeOpportunitySlot` breaks every hand-built literal in `publisher.rs`
+tests. Add the new fields to each:
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs:4272` — `make_config()`: add `section_root: None`.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs:4282` — `make_slot()`: add `compiled_unit: None`.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs:4931` — `article_slot()`: add `compiled_unit: None`.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs:5433` — `article_slot()` (second module): add `compiled_unit: None`.
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core publisher:: --no-run`
+Expected: compiles (no `missing field` errors) before writing the new test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test (equivalence + per-section)**
+
+In `publisher.rs` tests, add (adapt to the existing test helpers/config builders
+in that module):
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn build_slot_json_renders_section_from_request_path() {
+    let config = creative_opportunities_config_with_template(); // gam_unit_path = "/{network_id}/autoblog/{section}", section_root = "homepage"
+    let slot = &config.slot[0];
+
+    let news = build_slot_json(slot, &config, "/news/gm-cadillac");
+    assert_eq!(news["gam_unit_path"], "/88059007/autoblog/news");
+
+    let home = build_slot_json(slot, &config, "/");
+    assert_eq!(home["gam_unit_path"], "/88059007/autoblog/homepage");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test, verify it fails**
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core publisher::tests::build_slot_json_renders_section`
+Expected: FAIL — `build_slot_json` takes 2 args / wrong unit value.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Thread `request_path` and render**
+
+In `build_slot_json` (`crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` ~2204):
+
+```rust
+fn build_slot_json(
+    slot: &crate::creative_opportunities::CreativeOpportunitySlot,
+    co_config: &crate::creative_opportunities::CreativeOpportunitiesConfig,
+    request_path: &str,
+) -> serde_json::Value {
+    let section = crate::creative_opportunities::derive_section(
+        request_path,
+        co_config.section_root.as_deref().unwrap_or_default(),
+    );
+    let gam_path = slot.render_gam_unit_path(&co_config.gam_network_id, &section);
+    // ...rest unchanged (div_id, formats, targeting, json!)...
+}
+```
+
+In `build_ad_slots_script` (~2233) add `request_path: &str` and pass it:
+
+```rust
+pub(crate) fn build_ad_slots_script(
+    matched_slots: &[crate::creative_opportunities::CreativeOpportunitySlot],
+    co_config: &crate::creative_opportunities::CreativeOpportunitiesConfig,
+    request_path: &str,
+) -> String {
+    let slots: Vec<serde_json::Value> = matched_slots
+        .iter()
+        .map(|slot| build_slot_json(slot, co_config, request_path))
+        .collect();
+    // ...unchanged...
+}
+```
+
+At the initial-render caller (~publisher.rs:1791) pass `&request_path`:
+
+```rust
+.map(|co_config| build_ad_slots_script(&matched_slots, co_config, &request_path))
+```
+
+In `handle_page_bids` (~2562) pass the already-normalized path
+(`path_param` / the value from `normalize_page_bids_path`) to `build_slot_json`:
+
+```rust
+.map(|slot| build_slot_json(slot, co_config, &path_param))
+```
+
+Update any existing `build_ad_slots_script(...)` / `build_slot_json(...)` test
+call sites in `publisher.rs` to pass a path argument (e.g. `"/"`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `settings.rs::prepare_runtime`**
+
+In `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs` (~2078), compile templates and
+surface parse errors:
+
+```rust
+if let Some(co) = &mut self.creative_opportunities {
+    co.compile_slots();
+    co.compile_unit_templates().map_err(|err| {
+        Report::new(TrustedServerError::Configuration {
+            message: format!("Invalid creative opportunity gam_unit_path template: {err}"),
+        })
+    })?;
+    co.validate_runtime().map_err(|err| {
+        Report::new(TrustedServerError::Configuration {
+            message: format!("Invalid creative opportunity slot config: {err}"),
+        })
+    })?;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests, verify they pass**
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core publisher::tests`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Fix the existing empty-`gam_unit_path` settings test if needed**
+
+`settings.rs::settings_rejects_creative_opportunity_slot_with_empty_gam_unit_path`
+now fails at template-parse (empty template) rather than the render check. Verify
+it still asserts rejection; update the expected error substring if it pins a
+message.
+
+Run: `cargo test_details -p trusted-server-core settings::`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs

+- Modify: `docs/guide/configuration.md`
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+- Modify: the live autoblog `trusted-server.toml` (operator-owned, gitignored — update locally, do not commit)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a creative_opportunities section to configuration.md**
+
+Cover: the placeholder set (`{network_id}`, `{section}`, `{slot_id}`); section
+derivation (first path segment, sanitized to `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`, raw/undecoded);
+`section_root` requirement and validation; behavior on an unmatched route (no

+`gam_unit_path` → `/<network_id>/<slot_id>`). Use fictional values
+(`example.com`, network `99999`) per the repo's docs rule.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `trusted-server.example.toml`**
+
+Show one templated slot with `section_root` and a `{section}` `gam_unit_path`,

+# Per-Section `gam_unit_path` Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-23
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+
+**Issue:** [IABTechLab/trusted-server#954](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/954)
+
+## Summary
+
+`creative_opportunities.slot.gam_unit_path` is a static string, so a publisher
+whose GAM ad unit varies by site section cannot express that in one rule. The
+only way to model it today is one slot rule per (slot × section), which
+multiplies out fast: 3 slots across 10 sections needs 30 near-identical rules.
+
+This design makes `gam_unit_path` a **template** with a small, fixed placeholder
+set — `{network_id}`, `{section}`, `{slot_id}` — where `{section}` is derived
+from the request path at render time. One slot rule then covers all sections.
+
+The derivation policy that matters (`{section}` for the site root) lives in
+config via a required `section_root`, not in core — honoring the issue's
+constraint that the URL→section convention is publisher-specific.
+
+Scope is deliberately narrow: **only** `gam_unit_path` templating. Sharing
+`page_patterns`/`gam_unit_path` defaults across slots is a related but distinct
+duplication problem, tracked as a sibling issue, not built here.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. A publisher with N slots across M sections expresses per-section ad units
+   without N×M rules.
+2. `{section}` is derived from the request path with a config-supplied value for
+   the site root; no URL convention is hardcoded in core.
+3. Existing static `gam_unit_path` configs keep working, byte-for-byte
+   unchanged.
+4. Startup rejects unresolvable configuration: unknown placeholders, malformed
+   templates, and a `{section}` template missing its `section_root`.
+5. Resolution is covered by tests including `/`, single- and multi-segment
+   paths, unsafe/encoded segments, and paths matching no slot.
+6. Documented in `docs/guide/configuration.md`, which currently has no
+   creative_opportunities section.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+Documented here so onboarding publishers know the boundary. Each is an additive
+extension that does **not** change the config shape below.
+
+1. **Locale offset** — deriving `{section}` from a segment other than the first
+   (e.g. `/en/news` → `news`). `{section}` is the first path segment. A
+   `section_segment` index knob can be added later.
+2. **Full-path mirror** — `{section}` spanning multiple segments (`/a/b` →
+   `a/b`). Real GAM trees bucket by section, not per-article, so this is rare;
+   use a static per-slot `gam_unit_path` for the exception.
+3. **Named per-section overrides** — mapping an irregular section to a renamed
+   unit (`/reviews` → `editorial/reviews-v2`). Set that one slot's
+   `gam_unit_path` explicitly, or add named overrides later.
+4. **Host- or query-derived sections** — path-only. Out of scope entirely.
+5. **Slot-defaults inheritance** — sharing `page_patterns`/`gam_unit_path` at
+   the `[creative_opportunities]` level. Separate issue; has a startup-lifecycle
+   concern this design intentionally avoids.
+
+## Background: how `gam_unit_path` is used
+
+- `gam_unit_path` is **client-side only**. The resolved string reaches
+  `googletag.defineSlot(path, sizes, div)` in
+  `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`. It is **not** in
+  the OpenRTB bid request — `CreativeOpportunitySlot::to_ad_slot` never emits it.
+  Therefore this change is **server-only; no JS wire change**. The client keeps
+  receiving a resolved `gam_unit_path` string.
+- Today's resolver is literal-or-default and path-independent
+  (`crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs`):
+
+  ```rust
+  pub fn resolved_gam_unit_path(&self, gam_network_id: &str) -> String {
+      self.gam_unit_path
+          .clone()
+          .unwrap_or_else(|| format!("/{}/{}", gam_network_id, self.id))
+  }
+  ```
+
+- The value is emitted in `build_slot_json`
+  (`crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`), shared by two paths:
+  - initial render via `build_ad_slots_script` (called where `request_path` is
+    in scope);
+  - SPA navigation via `handle_page_bids` (has the normalized `path` param).
+
+  Neither currently passes the path into `build_slot_json`.
+

+
+### Resolution model
+
+```text
+startup (prepare_runtime, once):
+  for each slot:
+    parse slot.gam_unit_path (if Some) into a template:
+      reject unknown placeholder, unmatched/nested brace, empty template
+    cache the parsed template (serde-skipped, like compiled_patterns)
+  if any slot's template contains {section}:
+    require section_root present AND matching ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$
+
+request (per matched slot, path known):
+  if slot has a parsed template:
+    section = first non-empty segment of the RAW path,
+              runs of [^A-Za-z0-9_-] replaced with a single '_';
+              section_root when the path has no segment ("/", repeated slashes)
+    render template
+  else:
+    "/{network_id}/{slot_id}"          # existing default (back-compat)
+```
+
+### Section derivation rules (deterministic)
+
+- Extract the **first non-empty** path segment.
+- Replace each run of disallowed characters (`[^A-Za-z0-9_-]`) with a single
+  `_`. Guarantees a non-empty result for any non-empty segment. Because the path
+  is **not** decoded, `new%20s` → `new_20s` (only `%` is disallowed; `2` and `0`
+  are alphanumeric) — never silently `news`, and never the decoded `new_s`.
+- Use `section_root` **only** when there is no segment (`/`, repeated slashes).
+- Derive from the **raw, undecoded** path — the same string `page_patterns`
+  glob-match against — so matching and derivation never disagree. Percent-encoded
+  segments are **not** decoded.
+- `section_root` validated at startup: non-empty, entirely `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`.
+
+### Back-compat
+
+- No template placeholders in a slot's `gam_unit_path` → used verbatim.
+- No `gam_unit_path` set on a slot → `/{network_id}/{slot_id}` (unchanged).
+- A config with no `{section}` anywhere never requires `section_root`.
+
+### Validation moves from render to parse
+
+`validate_runtime` currently calls `resolved_gam_unit_path` and rejects an empty
+result. That check becomes path-dependent under templating, so it is replaced by
+**startup template validation**: the template parses, all placeholders are
+known, and `section_root` is present when `{section}` is used. The rendered
+result is non-empty by construction (literals plus non-empty substitutions, or
+the `/{network_id}/{slot_id}` default), so no per-request emptiness check is
+needed.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Named sections** (`[section.NAME]` blocks carrying patterns + unit): more
+  general (expresses irregular units) but forces enumerating every section, and
+  centralizes patterns — a bigger change that overlaps the deferred
+  slot-defaults concern. Rejected as the base; the `unit`-override variant is a
+  possible future extension.
+- **Explicit `unit_by_pattern` map per slot** (issue option 2): fully
+  data-driven but repeats the section→unit table inside every slot, so adding a
+  section still edits all N slots. Rejected.
+- **Hardcoded first-segment derivation** (issue option 3, literal): smallest,
+  but bakes one site's URL convention into core, which the issue forbids. The
+  chosen design keeps the one publisher-specific knob (`section_root`) in config.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Client-influenced path.** `{section}` is derived from a request path the
+  client controls (especially the SPA `path` param). Mitigated by: sanitizing to
+  `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`; deriving only for paths that already matched a slot's
+  `page_patterns`; and the fact that `gam_unit_path` is not in the bid request,
+  so a crafted section only affects the caller's own `defineSlot`.
+- **Two render paths drift.** Initial-render and SPA must produce identical
+  units for the same path. Covered by an equivalence test.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] N slots × M sections without N×M rules.
+- [ ] Resolution tested: `/`, single-segment, multi-segment, no-match, encoded
+      segment.
+- [ ] Existing static `gam_unit_path` configs unchanged.
+- [ ] `validate()` (startup) catches empty/unknown/malformed template and a
+      `{section}` template with missing/invalid `section_root`.
+- [ ] `{section}` sanitized to `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`, derived from the raw path.
+- [ ] Documented in `docs/guide/configuration.md`, including unmatched-route
+      behavior and the no-decode rule; example and live autoblog configs updated.
+
+## Sibling issue (not built here)
+
+"creative_opportunities: support shared slot defaults for `page_patterns` and
+`gam_unit_path`." Inheritance of `page_patterns` must materialize onto each slot
+at startup **before** `compile_slots()` (because `match_slots` never sees the
+top-level config), which is the lifecycle subtlety this scoped design avoids.

+## Creative Opportunities Configuration
+
+### `[creative_opportunities]`
+
+Defines the ad slots the trusted server offers on a page: which pages each slot
+appears on (`page_patterns`), its supported sizes (`formats`), and the GAM ad
+unit it maps to (`gam_unit_path`).
+
+```toml
+[creative_opportunities]
+gam_network_id = "123456789"
+price_granularity = "dense"
+
+# Shared placeholder value for the site root ("/") — see {section} below.
+section_root = "home"
+
+[[creative_opportunities.slot]]
+id = "ad-header"
+gam_unit_path = "/{network_id}/example/{section}"
+page_patterns = ["/", "/news/*", "/reviews/*"]
+formats = [{ width = 728, height = 90 }]
+```
+
+### `gam_unit_path` templating
+
+`gam_unit_path` is a template. A publisher whose ad unit varies by site section
+expresses that in **one** slot rule instead of one rule per (slot × section).
+
+Supported placeholders:
+
+| Placeholder    | Resolves to                                                    |
+| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `{network_id}` | `gam_network_id`                                               |
+| `{slot_id}`    | the slot's `id`                                                |
+| `{section}`    | first path segment of the request (see derivation rules below) |
+
+A template with **no** placeholders is used verbatim. A slot with **no**
+`gam_unit_path` falls back to `/<network_id>/<slot_id>`. Both preserve the
+pre-templating behavior, so existing static configs are unchanged.
+
+### `{section}` derivation
+
+`{section}` is derived from the request path at request time:
+
+- It is the **first non-empty path segment**. `/news/article-123` → `news`.
+- It is sanitized: each run of characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` becomes a
+  single `_`.
+- The path is used **raw — it is not percent-decoded**. So `/new%20s` →
+  `new_20s` (only `%` is disallowed; `2` and `0` are kept), never the decoded
+  `new_s`. This keeps `{section}` consistent with how `page_patterns` match the
+  same raw path.
+- When the path has no segment (`/`, or repeated slashes), `{section}` is
+  `section_root`.
+
+`section_root` is **required** whenever any slot's template uses `{section}`,
+and must match `[A-Za-z0-9_-]+`. There is no default: the home-section name is
+publisher-specific, so the URL→section convention lives in config, not core.
+Startup fails if `{section}` is used without a valid `section_root`.
+
+Example resolution for `gam_unit_path = "/{network_id}/example/{section}"` with
+`gam_network_id = "123456789"` and `section_root = "home"`:
+
+| Request path    | `gam_unit_path`              |
+| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| `/`             | `/123456789/example/home`    |
+| `/news`         | `/123456789/example/news`    |
+| `/news/article` | `/123456789/example/news`    |
+| `/reviews/x`    | `/123456789/example/reviews` |
+
+An **unmatched route** — a path matched by no slot's `page_patterns` — produces
+no slot at all, so no template is rendered for it.
+
+Startup validation rejects a malformed template: an unknown placeholder (e.g.
+`{oops}`), an unmatched or nested `{`, a stray `}`, or an empty `gam_unit_path`.

+
+Browser-visible auction IDs, bid IDs, targeting, API state, and the console require this setting plus an activated browser session. Visit a publisher page with the exact query `?ts_console=true` or `?ts_console=1`; Trusted Server enables the first response and sets a host-only session cookie automatically. Use `?ts_console=false` or `?ts_console=0` to clear the session. The reserved query is removed from downstream requests and cleaned from eligible HTML URLs. Active trace responses are private and non-storeable.
+
+The integration is disabled by default. The query is a self-service diagnostic toggle, not authorization, and does nothing without the explicit configuration gate. The console never exposes the internal auction request ID, identity data, consent strings, page URLs, partner notification URLs, cache coordinates, raw targeting, or creative markup. A creative marked `confirmed` means its exact Trusted Server renderer iframe load was acknowledged; it does not claim viewability or arbitrary advertiser JavaScript completion.

+
+Browser-visible auction IDs, bid IDs, targeting, API state, and the console require this setting plus an activated browser session. Visit a publisher page with the exact query `?ts_console=true` or `?ts_console=1`; Trusted Server enables the first response and sets a host-only session cookie automatically. Use `?ts_console=false` or `?ts_console=0` to clear the session. The reserved query is removed from downstream requests and cleaned from eligible HTML URLs. Active trace responses are private and non-storeable.
+
+The integration is disabled by default. The query is a self-service diagnostic toggle, not authorization, and does nothing without the explicit configuration gate. The console never exposes the internal auction request ID, identity data, consent strings, page URLs, partner notification URLs, cache coordinates, raw targeting, or creative markup. A creative marked `confirmed` means its exact Trusted Server renderer iframe load was acknowledged; it does not claim viewability or arbitrary advertiser JavaScript completion.

Subject: [PATCH 113/494] Register APS renderer via requestId so it survives
 Prebid field stripping

APS bids are bid-by-reference: interpretResponse sets the renderer descriptor on
the Prebid bid as the custom `trustedServerRenderer` field, and a bidResponse
listener registers it in window.tsjs.apsPrebidRenderers keyed by Prebid's generated
adId so the Universal Creative can later request it.

Prebid normalizes each bid into its own object during addBidResponse and drops
unknown top-level fields, so the custom field can be gone before the bidResponse
listener runs (observed in production: absent as early as bidAccepted). The listener
then saw renderer === undefined and returned without registering, leaving the
registry empty; the Universal Creative's request found nothing and Prebid's default
renderer threw "Missing ad markup or URL" (reason noAd) for every APS bid.

Also stash the descriptor keyed by `requestId` (a first-class field Prebid
preserves) when the bids are built, and have the bidResponse listener fall back to
that stash when the custom field is absent. Additive: the existing field path is
unchanged, so cases where the field survives behave exactly as before; the fallback
engages only when Prebid has stripped it. Bounded map. Adds a unit test that
registers via requestId with the custom field removed.

 Browser-visible auction IDs, bid IDs, targeting, API state, and the console require this setting plus an activated browser session. Visit a publisher page with the exact query `?ts_console=true` or `?ts_console=1`; Trusted Server enables the first response and sets a host-only session cookie automatically. Use `?ts_console=false` or `?ts_console=0` to clear the session. The reserved query is removed from downstream requests and cleaned from eligible HTML URLs. Active trace responses are private and non-storeable.

Subject: [PATCH 116/494] Address review feedback on gam_unit_path templating

- Remove now-dead resolved_gam_unit_path (superseded by
  render_gam_unit_path) and its two tests; the default
  /<network_id>/<slot_id> path now lives solely in render_gam_unit_path
- Tighten compile_unit_template and render_gam_unit_path to pub(crate)
- Document that validate_runtime must run after compile_unit_templates
  for the {section} -> section_root check to fire
- Use fictional gam_network_id 99999 in the new build_slot_json test

+Use `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes` when a GAM slot must refresh for an
+impression or measurement purpose but must not participate in Trusted Server's
+Prebid refresh auction:
+
+```toml

+excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly"]

+
+Trusted Server reads each refreshed GPT slot's `getAdUnitPath()` and compares it to
+the configured suffixes with an exact, case-sensitive `endsWith()` match. A matching
+slot is omitted from the synthetic Prebid refresh ad units, but it remains in the
+original GPT refresh call. In a mixed global refresh, normal display slots still
+auction and receive refreshed Prebid targeting while excluded slots still refresh in
+GAM.
+
+Each suffix must be a non-empty slash-prefixed path with no surrounding whitespace.
+The root suffix (`"/"`) is rejected, as are suffixes without a leading slash; exact
+duplicates are injected once. Matching is literal: paths are not case-normalized or
+slash-normalized. Use a specific terminal GAM path segment, not a broad size rule or
+div ID.
+
+If GPT does not expose `getAdUnitPath()` for a slot or the getter fails, Trusted
+Server fails open and runs the normal refresh auction. The option affects only this
+Trusted Server GPT-refresh wrapper; it does not block direct publisher Prebid,
+APS, or other auction flows.
+
+The external Prebid bundle and the injected Trusted Server configuration must be
+rolled out together. Regenerate and upload the bundle with `ts prebid bundle`, then
+deploy the configuration containing the suffix list and its corresponding bundle
+URL/hash/SRI metadata. A new configuration paired with an old cached external bundle
+cannot apply the browser filter.
+
 ## Client-Side Bidders
 
 Some Prebid.js bid adapters do not work well through Prebid Server (e.g. Magnite/Rubicon). The `client_side_bidders` config field lets you keep these bidders running natively in the browser while routing all other bidders through the server-side auction.

+# Prebid Refresh GAM-Path Opt-Out Implementation Plan
+
+**Design:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-24-prebid-refresh-gam-path-opt-out-design.md`
+
+**Goal:** Let operators exclude selected GAM ad-unit-path suffixes from Trusted
+Server's Prebid refresh auctions without suppressing the corresponding GAM refresh.
+
+## Scope and constraints
+
+- Do not change publisher source, slot div IDs, or GAM configuration.
+- Do not edit `dist` output, minified assets, or an externally hosted Prebid bundle
+  by hand. `build-prebid-external.mjs`/`ts prebid bundle` are the supported build
+  path.
+- The mechanism is literal, case-sensitive GAM-path suffix matching; it is not a
+  size-based rule and does not add a div-ID fallback.
+- Preserve the current `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct pass-through before all new
+  work, including targeting cleanup.
+- Use only fictional paths and hostnames in checked-in tests and documentation.
+
+## Files
+
+**Modify:**
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs`
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts`
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`

+- this plan
+
+## Task 1 — Add and inject canonical Prebid configuration
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs`
+
+1. Add `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes: Vec<String>` to
+   `PrebidIntegrationConfig`, defaulting to an empty vector. Initialize it in
+   `base_config()` and every other explicit `PrebidIntegrationConfig` literal.
+2. Implement one shared validation/canonicalization path used by both `build()` and
+   `validate_config_for_startup()`:
+   - reject leading/trailing whitespace;
+   - reject empty/whitespace-only values;
+   - require a leading `/`;
+   - reject `/` itself;
+   - retain every other value literally;
+   - deduplicate exact valid entries, preserving first declaration order.
+     Put schema-level validation on the field so typed settings parsing produces a
+     useful configuration error, and retain the normalizer so the runtime payload is
+     canonical rather than merely valid.
+3. Extend the local `InjectedPrebidClientConfig` with a borrowed
+   `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes` field. Use the existing camel-case serde
+   convention and omit it when empty, producing
+   `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` only for a non-empty list.
+4. Add Rust tests next to the existing Prebid tests:
+   - omitted field defaults to empty;
+   - valid values parse and duplicate values inject once in first-occurrence order;
+   - empty, whitespace-padded, missing-leading-slash, and `/` inputs are rejected;
+   - the head injector includes the expected camel-case JSON when configured and
+     omits it by default.
+5. Run focused Prebid tests while iterating, then run the target-matched Rust test
+   commands required for the changed core configuration:
+
+   ```bash
+   cargo test-fastly
+   cargo test-axum
+   cargo test-cloudflare
+   cargo test-spin
+   ```
+
+## Task 2 — Filter only refresh-auction slots in the browser
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts`
+
+1. Add `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes?: string[]` to `InjectedPrebidConfig` and
+   `getAdUnitPath?: () => string` to `RefreshGptSlot`.
+2. Add a small private predicate that receives a slot and configured suffix set. It
+   must call `getAdUnitPath()` only when it exists, catch a getter exception, require
+   a string result, and use `path.endsWith(suffix)` for any configured suffix. A
+   missing, non-string, empty, or throwing getter returns `false` (fail open).
+3. In `installRefreshHandler()`, leave the
+   `window.tsjs?.adInitRefreshInProgress` branch byte-for-byte behaviorally first.
+   Keep target-slot resolution unchanged.
+4. Keep `targetSlots.forEach(clearRefreshTargeting)` before filtering. Build
+   `auctionSlots` from `targetSlots` by applying the new predicate.
+5. When `auctionSlots` is empty, call `originalRefresh(targetSlots, opts)`
+   immediately. Do not call `pbjs.requestBids()` or
+   `pbjs.setTargetingForGPTAsync()`.
+6. Otherwise, build synthetic ad units and `refreshAdUnitCodes` from
+   `auctionSlots` only. In the bids-back handler, target only those eligible codes,
+   then call `originalRefresh(targetSlots, opts)` so mixed refreshes retain excluded
+   slots in the GAM list.
+7. Do not alter `TS_REFRESH_TARGETING_KEYS`, size fallback logic, injected-slot
+   lookup, bidder-parameter recovery, or client-side-bid recovery except to ensure
+   they run only for eligible auction slots.
+
+## Task 3 — Cover refresh behavior with Vitest
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`
+
+Add tests in the existing `prebid/installRefreshHandler` suite. Make the mocked
+`requestBids` invoke its callback synchronously only where post-auction behavior is
+being asserted.
+
+| Case                          | Assertions                                                                                                                                 |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Normal explicit slot          | Nonmatching path still creates an ad unit, requests bids, scopes targeting to its code, and refreshes after callback.                      |
+| Explicit excluded slot        | Each TS/Prebid key is cleared; no Prebid request/targeting call; original GPT refresh receives the same slot list and options immediately. |
+| All-excluded global refresh   | `getSlots()` supplies the concrete list; all targets are cleaned; no Prebid call; GPT receives the complete concrete list and options.     |
+| Mixed global refresh          | Both slots are cleaned; only the normal slot occurs in ad units and scoped targeting; GPT receives both slots after callback.              |
+| Missing getter                | Slot is auctioned and wrapper does not throw.                                                                                              |
+| Throwing or non-string getter | Slot is auctioned and wrapper does not throw.                                                                                              |
+| Literal semantics             | Case mismatch and trailing-slash mismatch do not exclude.                                                                                  |
+| Regression                    | Existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct-pass-through test and normal client-side bidder/param-recovery tests remain unchanged and green. |
+
+Run the JS suite after each change and format it:
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run
+npm run format
+```
+
+## Task 4 — Document the operator contract
+
+**Files:** `trusted-server.example.toml`, `docs/guide/integrations/prebid.md`
+
+1. Add a commented example of
+   `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly"]` to the example TOML.
+2. Add the field to the Prebid guide's configuration table and explain:
+   - it excludes only Trusted Server's GPT-refresh Prebid auction;
+   - GAM still refreshes the matching slot;
+   - matching is case-sensitive literal suffix matching via `getAdUnitPath()`;
+   - invalid/empty/root suffixes are rejected and a missing getter fails open;
+   - use a specific terminal path rather than a size or div-ID rule;
+   - mixed global refreshes still auction normal slots.
+3. Include the external-bundle/config rollout dependency and direct-Prebid/APS
+   non-goals. Do not add real inventory names, production domains, or tracking IDs.
+4. Format docs:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd docs && npm run format
+   ```
+
+## Task 5 — Final validation and rollout verification
+
+1. Inspect the complete diff; verify it contains no generated bundle edits and no
+   publisher-source changes.
+2. Run project gates relevant to the changed Rust, TypeScript, and docs surfaces:
+
+   ```bash
+   cargo fmt --all -- --check
+   cargo clippy-fastly
+   cargo clippy-axum
+   cargo clippy-cloudflare
+   cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+   cargo clippy-spin-native
+   cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+   cargo test-fastly
+   cargo test-axum
+   cargo test-cloudflare
+   cargo test-spin
+   cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run && npm run format
+   cd docs && npm run format
+   ```
+
+3. Regenerate the external browser bundle through the supported `ts prebid bundle`
+   workflow, upload the generated artifact, and update the operator-managed
+   URL/hash/SRI configuration. Deploy that bundle together with the Trusted Server
+   application/config carrying the suffix list.
+4. On a controlled staging page, use browser request instrumentation to verify:
+   - the injected browser config contains the expected suffixes;
+   - a matching path still produces a GAM request/impression but no refresh
+     `/auction` request;
+   - a normal display slot in a mixed global refresh does produce `/auction`, gets
+     scoped refreshed targeting, and GAM refreshes both slots;
+   - `disableInitialLoad()`/initial Trusted Server loading still uses the existing
+     `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct GPT path.
+5. Record deployed bundle hash, configuration version, test page, and observations
+   in the implementation handoff. Do not treat an unstable production page as the
+   sole verification environment.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- With no new configuration, refresh behavior is unchanged.
+- A configured matching GAM path is never included in a synthetic refresh auction,
+  but remains in the GPT refresh call.
+- An all-excluded refresh produces no `requestBids()` or targeting call.
+- A mixed refresh auctions and targets only eligible slots while refreshing every
+  requested GPT slot.
+- Stale Trusted Server/Prebid targeting is cleared from every target slot, and the
+  initial-load bypass remains untouched.
+- The deployed external bundle and injected configuration are version-compatible.

+# Prebid Refresh GAM-Path Opt-Out Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-24 · **Status:** Proposed
+
+**Scope:** Exclude selected GAM inventory from Trusted Server's Prebid refresh auctions while preserving GAM refreshes.
+
+## 1. Problem statement
+
+Trusted Server wraps publisher calls to `googletag.pubads().refresh()` and creates a
+fresh synthetic Prebid ad unit for every refreshed GPT slot. That is correct for
+display inventory, but it also sends tracking-only GAM slots to `/auction`. The
+production motivating case is a hidden 1×1 slot whose GAM ad-unit path ends in
+`/trackingonly`; its element ID is unstable and cannot be used as configuration.
+
+Operators need a configuration-only way to identify that inventory by its supported
+GAM ad-unit path and prevent **this refresh wrapper** from running a Trusted Server
+or native-Prebid refresh auction for it. GPT must still refresh the slot so GAM can
+record the tracking impression. Publishers must not change component source.
+
+The successful 2026-07-23 browser capture established that GPT exposes
+`slot.getAdUnitPath()` and returned `/88059007/autoblog/trackingonly` for the
+tracking slot. The capture also showed that the current wrapper included that slot
+in a `/auction` payload as a `[1, 1]` banner. The later 2026-07-24 failed probe is
+not a stable production test environment and is not used as behavioral evidence.
+
+## 2. Goals and non-goals
+
+### Goals
+
+- Add an operator-configured, suffix-based GAM-path exclusion mechanism.
+- Support explicit `refresh([slot], options)` and bare/global `refresh(options)`
+  calls.
+- Keep excluded slots in the final GPT refresh list and preserve refresh options.
+- Continue refreshing and auctioning non-excluded display slots, including in mixed
+  global refreshes.
+- Clear stale Trusted Server/Prebid targeting from every target slot before its GAM
+  refresh, including excluded slots.
+- Preserve the existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct-GAM bypass exactly.
+
+### Non-goals
+
+- Filtering by size, especially a broad 1×1 rule.
+- Matching or configuring div IDs, ad-slot IDs, CSS selectors, labels, or arbitrary
+  GPT targeting.
+- Suppressing GAM requests, GAM impressions, slot definitions, or initial ad loads.
+- Changing unrelated publisher Prebid, APS, or direct `/auction` flows.
+- Editing generated or minified Prebid bundles directly.
+- Changing Prebid adapter selection, bid-param overrides, or GAM line-item setup.
+
+## 3. Current call flow
+
+1. `installPrebidNpm()` registers the `trustedServer` Prebid adapter and wraps
+   `pbjs.requestBids()` so server-side bidder requests flow through it
+   (`crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts:514-669`).
+2. The adapter's `buildRequests()` serializes auction inputs and returns a POST to
+   `auctionEndpoint`, which defaults to `/auction`
+   (`index.ts:524-535`).
+3. `installRefreshHandler()` wraps `googletag.pubads().refresh()` after GPT loads
+   (`index.ts:726-818`). The wrapper:
+   - immediately passes through `adInitRefreshInProgress` requests;
+   - resolves explicit slots, or `pubads.getSlots()` for bare refreshes;
+   - clears `ts_initial`, `hb_pb`, `hb_bidder`, `hb_adid`, `hb_cache_host`, and
+     `hb_cache_path` from every resolved slot (`index.ts:43-50, 461-467`);
+   - creates one synthetic refresh ad unit per target slot;
+   - calls `pbjs.requestBids()`;
+   - scopes `setTargetingForGPTAsync()` to the synthetic codes; and
+   - calls the original GPT refresh after bids return.
+4. The refresh-slot type currently represents only element ID, targeting cleanup,
+   and sizes (`index.ts:260-265`). It does not expose GAM path metadata.
+5. Rust reads `integrations.prebid` into `PrebidIntegrationConfig`
+   (`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs:203-343`) and injects
+   browser config into `window.__tsjs_prebid` through the head injector
+   (`prebid.rs:1006-1041`). The injected TypeScript shape is declared at
+   `index.ts:62-87`.
+
+## 4. Configuration contract
+
+### 4.1 Operator API
+
+Add this optional field to `[integrations.prebid]`:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.prebid]
+# Keep GAM tracking inventory out of Trusted Server's Prebid refresh auctions.
+# GPT still refreshes these slots.
+excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly", "/measurement-only"]
+```
+
+The field is an array because publishers may have multiple tracking-only paths and
+because selecting one suffix must not preclude a future suffix. Its default is `[]`.
+An omitted or empty array preserves today's behavior: every resolved refresh slot is
+auction-eligible.
+
+The configuration is intentionally in the existing Prebid integration rather than
+in GPT configuration: it controls whether the **Prebid refresh auction** runs and
+is serialized with the rest of the Prebid browser configuration.
+
+### 4.2 Validation and canonicalization
+
+Validate enabled Prebid configuration at startup and in `ts config validate` using
+a shared normalization helper before constructing `PrebidIntegration`:
+
+| Input                                     | Result                                                                                          |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Omitted or `[]`                           | Valid; no exclusions.                                                                           |
+| A suffix with leading/trailing whitespace | Reject; do not silently alter a path matcher.                                                   |
+| Empty or whitespace-only suffix           | Reject.                                                                                         |
+| Suffix not beginning with `/`             | Reject.                                                                                         |
+| `/`                                       | Reject; it would opt every slash-prefixed GAM path out and is not an inventory-specific suffix. |
+| Any other slash-prefixed string           | Valid literal suffix; trailing slashes, repeated slashes, and case are not normalized.          |
+| Exact duplicate valid strings             | Retain the first occurrence and remove later duplicates before injection.                       |
+
+The normalized list preserves first-occurrence declaration order. There is no
+case-folding, path parsing, URL decoding, slash collapsing, or trailing-slash
+normalization. This produces an auditable literal match and avoids accidental
+cross-inventory matching.
+
+The Rust schema remains a `Vec<String>` with `#[serde(default)]`; the implementation
+adds a custom validator plus one reusable normalizer so invalid values fail typed
+configuration validation and a valid duplicate list has one canonical runtime form.
+`build()` and `validate_config_for_startup()` must both use the normalizer, so the
+runtime and validation command cannot disagree. Existing Rust config literals must
+set the new field to `Vec::new()`.
+
+### 4.3 Browser injection
+
+Add an optional camel-case property to the serialized head-injected payload and to
+`InjectedPrebidConfig`:
+
+```ts
+interface InjectedPrebidConfig {
+  // existing fields
+  excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes?: string[]
+}
+```
+
+For a non-empty normalized list the server injects:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  window.__tsjs_prebid={"excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes":["/trackingonly","/measurement-only"],...};
+</script>
+```
+
+For `[]`, omit the property with `skip_serializing_if`, matching the existing
+`clientSideBidders` convention. A browser that receives no property treats it as an
+empty list. This makes upgrade and rollback backwards compatible: old configuration
+has no behavior change; an older external bundle safely ignores the extra injected
+property; and a newer bundle with old configuration has no exclusions.
+
+## 5. Matching and refresh behavior
+
+### 5.1 Match predicate
+
+Extend `RefreshGptSlot` with:
+
+```ts
+getAdUnitPath?: () => string;
+```
+
+At each publisher refresh, derive a `Set` from
+`getInjectedConfig()?.excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes ?? []`. A slot is excluded only
+when all of the following hold:
+
+1. The normalized set is non-empty.
+2. `slot.getAdUnitPath` is a function.
+3. Calling it returns a string.
+4. The returned GAM path `endsWith()` at least one configured suffix, using exact,
+   case-sensitive JavaScript string comparison.
+
+Do not derive paths from the element ID or injected `adSlots` metadata. Do not use
+`getSizes()` as a fallback. A missing getter, a non-string return value, an empty
+path, or a getter that throws is **fail-open**: the slot remains auction-eligible.
+The implementation catches only the getter failure around that call; it neither
+suppresses the GPT refresh nor broadens an exclusion because telemetry is absent.
+
+A matching path is excluded only from the synthetic refresh auction. It is not
+removed from GPT's target list.
+
+### 5.2 Required algorithm
+
+Keep the existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` check as the first branch, before slot
+resolution, targeting cleanup, and path inspection:
+
+```text
+if adInitRefreshInProgress:
+    originalRefresh(slots, options)
+    return
+
+targetSlots = explicit slots, or pubads.getSlots() for bare refresh
+if targetSlots is empty:
+    originalRefresh(slots, options)
+    return
+
+clear TS/Prebid refresh-targeting keys from every target slot
+auctionSlots = targetSlots excluding suffix-matched slots
+
+if auctionSlots is empty:
+    originalRefresh(targetSlots, options)
+    return
+
+adUnits = synthetic refresh ad units for auctionSlots only
+pbjs.requestBids({ adUnits, timeout, bidsBackHandler })
+bidsBackHandler:
+    pbjs.setTargetingForGPTAsync(auction-slot codes only)
+    originalRefresh(targetSlots, options)
+```
+
+Build candidate codes, recover publisher bidder params, and recover client-side bids
+only for `auctionSlots`; excluded slots must not be represented in `adUnits` at all.
+The existing scoped targeting behavior therefore continues to affect only eligible
+slots.
+
+### 5.3 Refresh sequences
+
+| Call and slot set                                        | Prebid behavior                                                                     | GPT behavior                                                                      |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `refresh([normal], options)`                             | Auction `normal`, target its synthetic code after bids return.                      | Refresh `[normal]` with the same options after the callback.                      |
+| `refresh([excluded], options)`                           | Clear TS/Prebid keys; do not call `requestBids()` or `setTargetingForGPTAsync()`.   | Immediately refresh `[excluded]` with the same options.                           |
+| Bare `refresh(options)`; all slots excluded              | Resolve `pubads.getSlots()`, clear their TS/Prebid keys, then make no Prebid calls. | Immediately refresh the resolved complete slot list with the same options.        |
+| Bare `refresh(options)`; mixed normal and excluded slots | Clear every target slot; auction and target only normal slots.                      | After the callback, refresh the complete resolved list, including excluded slots. |
+| Any refresh while `adInitRefreshInProgress` is true      | No cleanup, match, auction, or targeting.                                           | Directly pass through the original `slots` and options unchanged.                 |

+
+Passing the resolved list in the all-excluded and mixed cases is deliberate: it is
+the same concrete list used for cleanup and makes the final GAM refresh list
+explicit. The original options object is passed through unchanged.
+
+### 5.4 Targeting and initial-load invariants
+
+The cleanup step remains before filtering and is limited to the existing
+`TS_REFRESH_TARGETING_KEYS`. It removes stale Trusted Server/Prebid winner data
+from excluded slots so GAM cannot serve using an obsolete header-bid winner, while
+preserving GAM path metadata and every unrelated publisher targeting key.
+
+`adInitRefreshInProgress` continues to bypass cleanup and auctioning directly. This
+preserves `disableInitialLoad()` and the initial Trusted Server targeting handoff:
+that one internal refresh must deliver already-applied targeting to GAM instead of
+being converted into a client-side refresh auction.
+

+
+No generated `dist` file, minified external bundle, or publisher source file is a
+source-of-truth edit target.
+
+## 7. Test matrix
+
+### Rust configuration and injection
+
+- Default/omitted field yields `Vec::new()` and omits
+  `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` from injected JSON.
+- A valid array parses, normalizes exact duplicates to one entry in declaration
+  order, and injects the expected camel-case array.
+- Empty, whitespace-padded, whitespace-only, missing-leading-slash, and `/` values
+  fail enabled Prebid configuration validation with field-specific errors.
+- Existing Prebid config/head-injector tests continue to pass with the new empty
+  field initialized in helper literals.
+
+### Browser refresh wrapper
+
+- Normal explicit slot with a nonmatching path still calls `requestBids()`, creates
+  its ad unit, scopes targeting to its code, and refreshes it after the callback.
+- Explicit matching slot clears each existing TS/Prebid key, does not call
+  `requestBids()` or `setTargetingForGPTAsync()`, and immediately calls original
+  GPT refresh with the exact slot array and options.
+- Global all-excluded slots resolve through `getSlots()`, clear every target, make
+  no Prebid calls, and refresh the complete resolved list with options.
+- Global mixed slots clear both categories, auction only eligible slots, scope
+  targeting to eligible synthetic codes, and refresh the complete list after bids
+  return.
+- Missing `getAdUnitPath`, non-string path, and a throwing getter each fail open to
+  the normal auction path without throwing from the wrapper.
+- Case mismatch and a trailing-slash mismatch do not exclude, proving literal
+  case-sensitive suffix behavior.
+- Existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` test still proves direct pass-through without
+  cleanup or auction; existing normal refresh and client-side-bid recovery tests
+  remain green.
+
+## 8. External bundle and browser verification
+
+`crates/trusted-server-js/lib/build-prebid-external.mjs` is the supported source
+build path for the immutable external Prebid bundle; `build-all.mjs` intentionally
+does not build Prebid. Implementers must change TypeScript source and regenerate a
+new external bundle through the supported `ts prebid bundle` workflow (or its
+underlying supported generator), not edit a generated/minified asset.
+
+Roll out the application/config and the regenerated external bundle together:
+
+1. Build and test the source change.
+2. Generate and upload the new external bundle.
+3. Update the operator bundle URL/hash/SRI metadata as required by the existing
+   bundle workflow and deploy the Trusted Server application/config containing the
+   suffix list.
+4. Verify the first-party bundle URL resolves to the new bytes and the injected
+   `window.__tsjs_prebid.excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` has the expected values.
+5. In browser instrumentation, verify a matching slot calls GPT refresh without a
+   corresponding Trusted Server refresh `/auction` request, while a normal display
+   slot in the same global refresh still produces `/auction` and receives refreshed
+   Prebid targeting.
+6. Verify GAM records the excluded slot's request/impression. Use a controlled
+   staging page or harness rather than relying on the unstable production host.
+
+A config-only deployment with an old cached external bundle cannot apply the browser
+filter; a bundle-only deployment without the injected configuration remains a no-op.
+
+## 9. Operational caveats and risks
+
+- The exclusion is limited to Trusted Server's wrapper around GPT refresh. It does
+  not block a publisher's unrelated direct `pbjs.requestBids()`, APS calls, direct
+  `/auction` use, or any other auction wrapper.
+- The feature relies on GPT's supported `getAdUnitPath()` API. A missing or throwing
+  getter deliberately fails open, which may continue auctioning a tracking slot
+  rather than risk silently suppressing display inventory.
+- Literal suffix matching can be over-broad if an operator chooses a generic suffix
+  such as `/only`; use a unique terminal GAM path segment and validate on a staging
+  page. `/` is rejected, but other overly broad valid values remain an operator
+  responsibility.
+- Excluded slots have only Trusted Server/Prebid targeting cleared; unrelated GAM
+  targeting and GAM request behavior are intentionally untouched.
+- Browser code and injected config must reach the same deployed page. Cache/version
+  rollout mistakes are the primary operational risk.

+# Prevent Duplicate GPT Slot Requests — Implementation Plan
+
+> **Status:** Implemented locally; production-like browser validation remains pending.
+>
+> **Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-24-prevent-duplicate-gpt-slot-requests-design.md`
+
+**Goal:** Ensure one GPT slot and one initial request per configured placement when
+TS `adInit()` runs before a publisher later defines the placement's inner GPT div.
+
+**Architecture:** TS creates its fallback on the resolved inner div and records a
+handoff claim. Narrow, idempotent wrappers around GPT's `defineSlot`, `display`, and
+`pubads().refresh` alias a matching late publisher definition to that slot and
+suppress only the duplicate initial publisher request. A successful handoff transfers
+SPA-destruction ownership to the publisher. The head bootstrap and full TSJS bundle
+share this runtime protocol through `window.tsjs`.

+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/gpt.rs`
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- [ ] Confirm with the issue owner that the intended late-owner behavior is slot
+      handoff (publisher receives the existing inner-div slot), not a hydration-delay
+      policy.
+- [ ] Capture representative publisher call sequences for normal initial load and
+      `disableInitialLoad()` before changing wrappers. The expected sequence is
+      `defineSlot` → `addService` → `display`; initial-load-disabled pages additionally
+      call `refresh`.
+- [ ] Establish an automated fake-GPT request counter: calling native `display` with
+      initial load enabled, or native `refresh` with initial load disabled, records a
+      request. Assertions must use this counter rather than only `getSlots()`.
+
+## Task 1: Add the shared handoff state and typed GPT wrapper surface
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+
+- [ ] Add a `TsjsApi` property for a div-ID-keyed handoff registry. Each entry must
+      retain serializable lifecycle flags: TS-created, ownership-transferred, initial
+      request made, and one-shot publisher display/refresh suppression state.
+- [ ] Add only the minimal optional/internal type surface needed for idempotence
+      markers on GPT functions and `pubads`. Do not weaken the public GPT types with
+      `any`.
+- [ ] Add helper functions in `index.ts` to:
+  - find a live GPT slot by exact element ID;
+  - register and retrieve a claim;
+  - remove a transferred slot from `ts.prevGptSlots`;
+  - run an internal TS GPT call behind a short-lived guard;
+  - filter a requested refresh list (including no-argument/global refresh) by the
+    entries whose one-shot publisher refresh must be suppressed.
+- [ ] Keep the registry on `window.tsjs`, not in module scope, so the bootstrap state
+      survives bundle loading.
+
+**Focused checks:**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts
+```
+
+## Task 2: Install scoped idempotent handoff wrappers
+
+**File:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+
+- [ ] From the GPT command queue, install wrappers once GPT exposes the real methods.
+      Mark the wrapped functions/service so a later `installTsAdInit()` call or the
+      bootstrap-to-bundle handoff cannot stack wrappers.
+- [ ] `defineSlot` wrapper:
+  - pass through TS-internal calls and IDs absent from the registry;
+  - for a late publisher call on a claimed inner div, find and return the existing
+    slot without calling native `defineSlot`;
+  - mark ownership transferred and remove that slot from `prevGptSlots` before
+    returning it;
+  - log, but do not create a second slot, if publisher arguments differ from the TS
+    configuration.
+- [ ] `display` wrapper: consume the one permitted publisher post-handoff display
+      call without invoking native `display`; pass every other call through unchanged.
+- [ ] `refresh` wrapper: when initial load was disabled, consume the one permitted
+      post-handoff refresh for each claimed slot. If called with no slot list, expand
+      `getSlots()`, filter only the claimed slots, and forward the remaining slots
+      explicitly. Preserve all unrelated refreshes.
+- [ ] Ensure wrapper installation precedes the fallback definition path and does not
+      change existing publisher-owned-slot behavior.
+
+**Focused checks:**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts
+```
+
+## Task 3: Change fallback creation to the actual inner div
+
+**File:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+
+- [ ] Delete the `${actualDivId}-container` fallback selection. When no existing
+      publisher slot is found, call `defineSlot` with `actualDivId`.
+- [ ] Register the handoff claim immediately after successful TS definition.
+- [ ] Keep `display()` for TS-created slots; with initial load disabled, retain the
+      single TS `refresh()` that makes the required initial request.
+- [ ] Simplify `divToSlotId` and `prevSlotTargetingKeys` to the actual inner div;
+      remove only mappings that existed exclusively for the container fallback.
+- [ ] On SPA navigation, destroy only claims that remain TS-owned. A transferred
+      claim must participate in stale-targeting cleanup but never be passed to
+      `destroySlots()`.
+- [ ] Retain exact match then prefix-based dynamic-ID lookup; do not interpolate
+      publisher-provided IDs into CSS selectors.
+
+## Task 4: Add request-level regression coverage for the full bundle
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts` if the
+  shared wrapper setup belongs there
+
+- [ ] Introduce a reusable fake GPT fixture that models slots by element ID and
+      records native `defineSlot`, `display`, `refresh`, and request events. Its
+      `getSlots()` result must update when a slot is defined so the test cannot pass by
+      asserting a stale static array.
+- [ ] Add a failing regression test for the critical sequence:
+  1. TS finds the inner div and runs `adInit()` before publisher setup;
+  2. TS defines/displays the inner div and makes one request;
+  3. publisher calls `defineSlot(innerDiv).addService(...); display(innerDiv)`;
+  4. assert native `defineSlot` was called once, there is one slot, and there is one
+     request.
+- [ ] Add the same sequence with `disableInitialLoad()`: TS display plus its refresh
+      makes one request; the publisher's first refresh cannot make a second request.
+- [ ] Add a no-argument publisher refresh test containing an unrelated slot. Assert
+      the claimed slot is suppressed once and the unrelated slot is refreshed.
+- [ ] Add an already publisher-owned test proving TS does not install a claim, applies
+      targeting, and refreshes that slot.
+- [ ] Add a no-publisher test proving TS still creates, displays, and requests its
+      inner-div slot exactly once.
+- [ ] Add a SPA handoff test: after late publisher claim, the next `adInit()` does not
+      destroy the transferred slot, clears old TS keys, and reapplies current-route
+      targeting.
+- [ ] Retain or extend the dynamic prefix-ID test to prove a resolved runtime ID is
+      the handoff key.
+
+## Task 5: Mirror the runtime protocol in the head bootstrap
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/gpt_bootstrap.js`
+- Modify `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/gpt.rs`
+
+- [ ] Port the same actual-inner-div fallback, registry names, lifecycle flags, and
+      idempotence markers to the plain-JavaScript bootstrap.
+- [ ] Use the existing bootstrap `window.tsjs` properties exactly so `index.ts` can
+      adopt the initial claim after the bundle loads.
+- [ ] Ensure its internal definition/display/refresh calls use the same guards as the
+      bundle; bootstrap must not transfer or suppress its own operations.
+- [ ] Extend the `gpt.rs` head-insert tests to assert that the bootstrap contains the
+      inner-div handoff protocol and no longer contains the container fallback.
+- [ ] Add an executable bootstrap behavior test if practical by evaluating the
+      injected script against the same fake GPT fixture. If the test setup cannot execute
+      the included asset without duplication, record that limitation and keep the Rust
+      source-contract assertion plus identical bundle lifecycle tests as the minimum
+      coverage.
+
+## Task 6: Validate, inspect, and ship
+
+- [ ] Run focused request-level tests:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run all TSJS tests and formatting:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run the target-matched Rust tests that cover the embedded bootstrap, followed by
+      project formatting and linting:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo clippy-fastly && cargo clippy-axum && cargo clippy-cloudflare
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Before PR handoff, run the full required CI gates from `CLAUDE.md`, including
+      Fastly, Axum, Cloudflare, Spin, integration parity, JS build/tests/format, and docs
+      format.
+- [ ] Review the diff specifically for bootstrap/bundle protocol drift and for any
+      use of container IDs in GPT slot creation.
+- [ ] In a controlled production-like browser capture, verify one initial request for
+      each affected visible placement and independently verify an unrelated placement
+      remains requestable.
+- [ ] Update issue #944 with the ownership-handoff decision, test evidence, and
+      browser-capture result.
+
+## Stop conditions
+
+Stop and return to design review instead of adding heuristics if any of these occur:
+
+- A publisher relies on a late `defineSlot` with materially different path or size
+  arguments and cannot accept the existing TS slot.
+- The publisher's first initial-load-disabled refresh cannot be identified without
+  suppressing unrelated legitimate refreshes.
+- A cross-bundle bootstrap handoff requires module-local identity that cannot be
+  represented safely through `window.tsjs`.
+- Browser validation shows a second request despite native `defineSlot`/`display`/
+  `refresh` suppression; capture the GPT event ordering before choosing another
+  strategy.

+# Prevent Duplicate GPT Slot Requests — Design Specification
+
+## Problem
+
+When `tsjs.adInit()` executes before a publisher's framework later calls
+`googletag.defineSlot()` for the same placement, TS currently defines and displays a
+slot on the outer `-container` element. The publisher subsequently defines and
+displays an inner-div slot. These are distinct GPT slots, so they make separate GAM
+requests for one visible placement.
+
+The affected paths are deliberately duplicated today:
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts` is the full bundle
+  implementation used after the TSJS bundle loads.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/gpt_bootstrap.js` is the head-injected
+  implementation that can make the initial request before the bundle loads.
+
+A fix must keep both implementations in sync.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. A configured placement has at most one initial GPT slot and ad request when TS
+   runs before a publisher defines its inner div.
+2. Apply TS targeting and the `ts_initial=1` marker before that single initial
+   request.
+3. Continue reusing a slot that the publisher has already defined.
+4. Keep the TS-only fallback: if the publisher never defines the placement, TS still
+   displays it and makes exactly one initial request.
+5. Preserve `disableInitialLoad()`, SPA targeting cleanup, and the rule that TS does
+   not destroy genuinely publisher-owned slots.
+6. Keep dynamic div-ID prefix resolution intact.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Deduplicating by GAM ad-unit path. Multiple visible placements may validly share a
+  path.
+- Changing publisher GAM configuration, line items, or refresh policy.
+- Delaying the initial TS request while waiting an arbitrary amount of time for
+  framework hydration. A time-based grace period cannot distinguish a slow
+  publisher-owned slot from a placement that the publisher will never define.
+- General interception of unrelated GPT slots.
+
+## Decision: one inner-div slot with late-definition handoff
+
+TS will define its fallback slot on the **actual inner div**, never on its outer
+`-container` element. It will record a narrowly scoped handoff claim keyed by that
+inner div ID. A `googletag.defineSlot` wrapper then recognizes a later publisher
+request for that exact div and returns the existing TS slot rather than invoking
+GPT's native `defineSlot` again.
+
+GPT requires a one-to-one slot-to-div relationship and documents that a slot should
+be displayed only once. Sharing the initial inner-div slot therefore avoids both the
+competing container slot and an invalid duplicate definition.
+
+### Lifecycle
+
+1. **Already publisher-owned** — `getSlots()` finds a slot for the resolved inner
+   div. TS applies targeting, records it as publisher-owned, and refreshes it as it
+   does today.
+2. **No slot yet** — TS defines a slot on the resolved inner div, applies targeting,
+   enables services when needed, and displays it. When initial load is disabled, TS
+   performs its existing one explicit refresh. TS records this slot as TS-owned and
+   handoff-eligible.
+3. **Publisher defines later** — the scoped `defineSlot` wrapper sees the recorded
+   inner-div claim, returns the existing slot, and transfers ownership: it removes
+   the slot from TS's future `destroySlots()` set. The publisher's setup continues
+   against that same slot.
+4. **Publisher's first request call** — the wrapper suppresses the duplicate
+   publisher `display()` call. With `disableInitialLoad()`, it instead suppresses
+   only the publisher's first refresh for the transferred slot, because TS has
+   already issued the required initial refresh. For a no-argument/global refresh,
+   the wrapper must expand `getSlots()`, remove only the one-shot suppressed slots,
+   and forward the remaining slots explicitly so unrelated slots still refresh.
+5. **Later refreshes and SPA navigation** — after the one-shot suppression is
+   consumed, publisher refreshes are untouched. On navigation, TS clears its
+   targeting from the shared slot and may reuse it for the next route; it must not
+   destroy a slot after ownership has transferred.
+
+The wrapper is not a global deduplicator. It only handles IDs present in TS's
+handoff registry and must preserve native `defineSlot`, `display`, and `refresh`
+behavior for every other placement.
+
+## Implementation shape
+
+### Shared runtime state
+
+Add a small, serializable `window.tsjs` registry that both initial implementations
+can read after the bundle replaces the bootstrap implementation. It is keyed by the
+resolved actual div ID and records at least:
+
+- whether TS created the slot and whether ownership has transferred;
+- whether one publisher `display()` or initial-load-disabled `refresh()` remains to
+  suppress.
+
+Do not rely only on module-local state: the bootstrap can define the initial slot
+before `index.ts` is loaded. Look up the live slot by element ID through
+`pubads().getSlots()` when a wrapper needs it.
+
+Install idempotent markers on the wrapped GPT functions/services so the bootstrap and
+bundle do not stack wrappers. Each wrapper must retain and call the original bound
+function for non-claimed slots. Internal TS calls need a short-lived guard so the
+wrappers do not mistake TS's own `defineSlot`, `display`, or `refresh` for a
+publisher handoff.
+
+### Full bundle
+
+In `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`:
+
+- Replace the container fallback with `actualDivId`.
+- Add the typed handoff-registry state to `TsjsApi` in
+  `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`.
+- Install the idempotent `defineSlot`, `display`, and `pubads().refresh` handoff
+  wrappers from the GPT command queue before `adInit()` can create a fallback slot.
+- When a late publisher definition is aliased to the existing slot, remove it from
+  `prevGptSlots` and mark it transferred before returning it.
+- Keep targeting cleanup keyed by the real inner div. Remove the old dual
+  inner/container mappings because the slot element ID is now the inner div.
+
+### Head bootstrap
+
+Mirror the same ownership registry and wrappers in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/gpt_bootstrap.js`. The bootstrap must
+leave the registry and idempotence markers in `window.tsjs` so the full bundle adopts
+rather than re-wraps or reclaims the initial slot.
+
+This duplication is intentional for now: the head bootstrap is needed to apply
+server-side targeting before the normal bundle becomes available. The regression
+suite must exercise both implementations' observable contract.
+

+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- A late `defineSlot(innerDiv)` aliases the already-created inner-div TS slot; native
+  `defineSlot` is not called a second time for that placement.
+- Request instrumentation records one initial request for the placement in normal and
+  initial-load-disabled modes.
+- The late publisher `display()` (and its first initial-load-disabled refresh) cannot
+  create a second request, while unrelated slots retain their normal calls.
+- Existing publisher slots are still reused and receive TS targeting.
+- A slot that no publisher claims is displayed and requested once by TS.
+- A transferred slot is absent from TS's SPA `destroySlots()` argument; targeting is
+  still cleared and reapplied correctly on the next route.
+- Dynamic resolved div IDs work without constructing a CSS selector from the ID.
+- Bootstrap and bundle paths pass the same ownership/request assertions.
+
+## Validation
+
+1. Add focused Vitest lifecycle tests with a fake GPT that records native
+   `defineSlot`, `display`, `refresh`, and synthetic request events.
+2. Run the focused GPT test files, then the full TSJS Vitest suite and formatter.
+3. Run the target-matched Rust test suite so the included bootstrap and its source
+   assertions compile and pass.
+4. In a controlled browser capture, verify that one configured header and one
+   configured fixed placement each produce one initial slot request, while a distinct
+   in-content placement remains independently requestable.

Subject: [PATCH 122/494] Decouple the prebid tsjs shim from the bundled
 Prebid.js

The external bundle is now pure Prebid.js (core, consent and user ID
modules, client-side bid adapters) and stamps a manifest on
window.__tsjs_prebid_bundle. The shim ships as a server-served deferred
tsjs module that installs the trustedServer adapter onto the window.pbjs
global via public APIs only, so shim fixes deploy with the server instead
of requiring an external bundle re-upload.

 typed helpers

Widen the lint script to cover test/**, and make every test file pass it
with real types: typed window views, TestBid/TestAdUnit shapes, adapter
spec and requestBids parameter types, typeof-fetch casts for fetch mocks,
and signature-free spies instead of unused typed parameters.

Subject: [PATCH 125/494] Rename /__ts/page-bids to /_ts/page-bids
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The SPA re-auction endpoint was the only internal route using a
double-underscore prefix; every other internal path lives under /_ts/.
Move it to /_ts/page-bids and switch the tsjs client fetch to match.

A browser runs whichever tsjs bundle it was already served, so pages
loaded before the rename — and cached bundles — keep requesting the old
path. On a SPA that path delivers ads for in-session navigations, so
/__ts/page-bids stays registered to the same handler as a transition
alias until those bundles age out. Both paths are defined once in core
as PAGE_BIDS_PATH and PAGE_BIDS_LEGACY_PATH so removal touches one const
plus its four registrations.

handle_page_bids logs an info line when the alias serves a gate-passed
request. Without it nothing in the app distinguishes the two paths, so
the "no remaining legacy traffic" precondition for removing the alias
would only be answerable from edge access logs.

Route coverage was missing for the page-bids GET registrations on
Cloudflare and Spin, where GET and OPTIONS are registered separately and
the preflight-denial parity test does not imply the GET side is wired.
Mutation testing confirmed a broken registration previously passed every
suite. The route-table assertions pin literal paths rather than the
consts, since looking a route up by the same const it was registered
with still passes when the const's value changes.

 ### Added
 
+- Added the default-true `[auction].rewrite_creatives` option. Setting it to `false` preserves mandatory `/auction` creative sanitization while skipping first-party resource/click URL rewriting and creative TSJS injection.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

 ## Creative Processing
 
-Winning creatives are processed through a streaming HTML rewriter (`lol_html`) before being returned. This rewrites external resource URLs to first-party proxy paths, maintaining privacy and enabling security controls.
+Winning creatives returned by `POST /auction` are always passed through the
+server-side sanitizer. By default, the sanitized HTML is then processed by an
+HTML rewriter (`lol_html`) that converts eligible external resource and click
+URLs to signed first-party paths, adds `data-tsclick`, rewrites inline CSS
+`url(...)` values, and injects the unified creative TSJS runtime when a `<body>`
+exists.

+| `false`           | Sanitize, then return sanitized but unre-written HTML. Accepted asset and click URLs remain direct, so the browser may contact third-party hosts without mediation. |
+
+Disabling rewriting does not disable or reverse sanitization. Scripts,
+stylesheets, style blocks, forms, event handlers, dangerous URL schemes, and
+other rejected content remain removed. It also removes the injected creative
+runtime and first-party proxy/click mediation from the resulting `adm`.
+Sanitizer-accepted hosts are not allowlisted or trusted merely because their
+URLs remain in the output.
+
+The setting applies only to the shared `POST /auction` response converter.
+HTML/CSS returned by `/first-party/proxy` continues to be rewritten. The
+separate debug-only `[debug].inject_adm_for_testing` publisher and page-bids

 ## Processing Triggers
 
-Creative processing is automatically triggered when:
+The creative rewriters are invoked by independent delivery paths:
 
-1. **Content-Type Header**: Response is `text/html` or `text/css`
-2. **Proxy Mode**: Request goes through `/first-party/proxy` (not streaming)
-3. **Integration Response**: Integration returns HTML content
+1. **Auction `adm`**: Winning-bid HTML returned by `POST /auction` is always sanitized, then rewritten by default. This pass is controlled by `[auction].rewrite_creatives`.
+2. **First-party proxy**: Non-streaming `text/html` and `text/css` responses fetched through `/first-party/proxy` are rewritten independently of the auction setting.
+3. **Integration processing**: Publisher HTML integrations use their own registration and configuration controls.
 
 ::: info Streaming Mode
-When `with_streaming()` is enabled in `ProxyRequestConfig`, HTML/CSS processing is **skipped** to preserve origin compression and reduce latency. Use for binary files, large responses, or when rewriting isn't needed.
+When `with_streaming()` is enabled in `ProxyRequestConfig`, proxied HTML/CSS processing is **skipped** to preserve origin compression and reduce latency. This does not change the `POST /auction` sanitizer or rewrite setting.

+## Auction Rewrite Control
+
+Use the default-true auction setting to control only the rewrite pass applied to
+winning-bid `adm` returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```toml
+[auction]
+rewrite_creatives = true
+```
+

+| `false`           | Sanitize, then return the sanitized HTML without rewriting. Sanitizer-accepted external resource, click, and inline CSS URLs remain direct.                                     |
+
+::: warning Sanitization remains mandatory
+Setting `rewrite_creatives = false` returns sanitized but unre-written HTML, not
+byte-for-byte upstream markup. It does not restore scripts, stylesheets, style
+blocks, forms, event handlers, or other content removed by sanitization.
+Sanitizer acceptance is not a host allowlist; ordinary accepted HTTP(S) URLs may
+cause the browser to contact external creative hosts directly.
+:::
+
+This setting does not affect HTML/CSS response rewriting under
+`/first-party/proxy`. It also does not change the separate debug-only
+`[debug].inject_adm_for_testing` publisher and page-bids path, which may include
+raw `adm` for non-production diagnostics.

 ### Changed
 
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

 ### Added
 
+- Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

 #### 3. Provider Execution
 Each registered provider (APS, Prebid, etc.) receives the `AuctionRequest` and:
-- Transforms it to their specific format (e.g., APS TAM, OpenRTB)
+- Transforms it to the provider's OpenRTB request format
 - Makes HTTP request to their endpoint
 - Parses the response
 - Returns `AuctionResponse` with `Bid[]`
 
 For example, APS provider:
 ```rust
-// Transform AuctionRequest → ApsBidRequest
-let aps_request = ApsBidRequest {
-    pub_id: "5128",
-    slots: vec![
-        ApsSlot {
-            slot_id: "header-banner",
-            sizes: vec![[728, 90], [970, 250]],
-            slot_name: Some("header-banner"),
-        }
-    ],
-    page_url: Some("https://example.com"),
-    ua: Some("Mozilla/5.0..."),
-    timeout: Some(800),
-};
-
-// HTTP POST to http://localhost:6767/e/dtb/bid
-// Parse response → AuctionResponse
+// Transform AuctionRequest → APS OpenRTB request
+// - ext.account = configured account_id
+// - ext.sdk = { source: "prebid", version: "2.2.0" }
+// - banner slots become secure impressions with matching formats/floors
+// - existing consent, identity, device, and geo privacy gates apply
+
+// HTTP POST to https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+// Parse decoded-price response → AuctionResponse with a typed renderer
 ```

-3. For each slot, select the bid with the highest CPM
-4. Bids with `price: None` (e.g., APS encoded prices) are **skipped** — they cannot be compared without decoding

-- Proper APS integration — encoded bids are decoded and compared fairly
-- Higher potential revenue from broader competition

 ### APS Provider
 
-Transforms auction requests into Amazon's TAM (Transparent Ad Marketplace) format.
+Builds an independent banner OpenRTB request for Amazon Publisher Services.
 
 **Request transformation:**
 
-- `AdSlot` → `ApsSlot` with `slot_id`, `slot_name`, and `sizes` array
-- Publisher ID, page URL, user agent, and timeout included
+- banner `AdSlot` formats become secure OpenRTB impressions;
+- `ext.account` uses canonical `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk` identifies the compatible Prebid contract; and
+- existing page, device, consent, identity, and geo privacy gates are preserved.
 
 **Response parsing:**
 
-- Bids have `price: None` — APS uses proprietary encoding (`amznbid` field is base64-encoded)
-- Bids have `creative: None` — APS does not return HTML creatives
-- Encoded price metadata (`amznbid`, `amznp`) preserved in bid metadata for the mediator
-- Only slots with `fif: "1"` (filled) are processed
-
-This is why mediation is important when using APS: without a mediator, APS bids cannot participate in winner selection.
+- decoded USD prices compete directly with other providers;
+- positive compatible dimensions and an HTTPS `creativeurl` are required;
+- script creatives are rejected before winner selection unless explicitly enabled;
+- one candidate per impression is retained deterministically; and
+- a minimized typed renderer is preserved instead of creative markup or APS notifications.

-# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) Integration
+# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) OpenRTB Integration
 
-Server-side bidding integration for Amazon's Transparent Ad Marketplace (TAM).
+Trusted Server can request banner bids from Amazon Publisher Services (APS) through the APS OpenRTB endpoint and let their decoded USD CPMs compete with other auction providers.
 
-## Overview
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> APS's public adapter metadata describes Prebid Server support as unavailable. Confirm edge/server-originated traffic with your APS account team before a broad production rollout. Start with an isolated cohort and disable publisher-native APS demand for that cohort to avoid duplicate demand.
 
-The APS integration enables publishers to request bids from Amazon's demand sources server-side, providing:
+## Scope
 
-- **Privacy-first bidding**: No client-side ID tracking or third-party cookies required
-- **Reduced latency**: Server-side auction reduces page load impact
-- **Unified auction**: Integrates seamlessly with other bidders (Prebid, GAM)
-- **Performance**: Async bidding with configurable timeouts
+The integration supports:
 
-## Quick Start
+- banner impressions;
+- APS OpenRTB requests to `https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid`;
+- decoded-CPM winner selection with or without a mediator;
+- direct `/auction` rendering; and
+- initial-navigation and page-bids rendering through GAM/Prebid Universal Creative.
 
-Get started with server-side APS bidding in 5 minutes.
+The integration does not implement:
 
-### Prerequisites
+- video or native impressions;
+- APS user sync;
+- Trusted Server delivery of APS `nurl` or `burl`; or
+- native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` handling for Trusted Server APS winners.
 
-- Fastly Compute service configured
-- APS publisher account with valid `pub_id`
-- Rust toolchain installed (see main README)
-
-### Step 1: Configure Fastly Backend
-
-Add APS backend to your Fastly service:
-
-**Option A: Via Fastly UI**
-
-1. Go to your service → Origins
-2. Click "Create a Backend"
-3. Configure:
-   - Name: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Address: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Port: `443`
-   - Enable TLS: ✓
-
-**Option B: Via `fastly.toml`**
-
-Add to your `fastly.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[[backends]]
-name = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-address = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-port = 443
-use_ssl = true
-ssl_cert_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-ssl_sni_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-```
-
-### Step 2: Enable APS in Configuration
-
-Edit `trusted-server.toml`:
+## Configuration
 
 ```toml
-# Enable APS bidding
 [integrations.aps]
 enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Replace with your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
+account_id = "example-aps-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
 timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
 
-# Configure auction to use APS
 [auction]
 enabled = true
-strategy = "parallel_only"  # Run APS alongside other bidders
-bidders = ["aps"]  # Add other bidders like ["aps", "prebid"]
+providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
 timeout_ms = 2000
 ```
 
-### Step 3: Deploy or Test Locally
-
-**Deploy to Fastly:**
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1
-fastly compute publish
-```
-
-**Test Locally:**
-
-```bash
-fastly compute serve
-```
-
-### Step 4: Verify It's Working
-
-Check the logs for APS activity:
-
-```bash
-# You should see:
-INFO APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)
-DEBUG APS: sending bid request: {...}
-DEBUG APS: received response: {...}
-INFO APS returned 2 bids in 150ms
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-Publisher Page Request
-        ↓
-Auction Orchestrator
-        ↓
-APS Provider (async)
-        ↓
-https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid
-        ↓
-Parse APS Response → Unified Bid Format
-        ↓
-Auction Winner Selection
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Basic Setup
+`account_id` is the canonical field. `pub_id` remains a compatibility alias for migration, including integer values, but new configuration should not use it. Supplying both names is an error.
 
-Add to `trusted-server.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Override settings via environment variables:
-
-```bash
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__ENABLED=true
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__PUB_ID=5128
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__TIMEOUT_MS=800
-```
+`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`. While disabled, APS script bids are rejected before per-impression reduction, floors, mediation, and winner selection. Enable it only for a controlled cohort after the browser-security checks in [Rollout](#rollout) pass.
 
-## Auction Strategies
+APS uses ordinary auction slot IDs and banner formats. Legacy creative-opportunity APS `slot_id` configuration is accepted for compatibility but ignored, and `bidders.aps.slotID` is not required. Remove both during migration.
 
-### APS Only
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-bidders = ["aps"]
-# No mediator = parallel only (highest CPM wins)
-```
-
-### APS + Prebid (Parallel)
-
-Best for maximum revenue:
+The APS provider may also participate through a configured mediator:
 
 ```toml
 [auction]
 enabled = true
 providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
+mediator = "adserver_mock"
 timeout_ms = 2000
-# No mediator = all providers compete, highest CPM wins
+```
 
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"
-timeout_ms = 800
+## OpenRTB request
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-enabled = true
-server_url = "https://prebid-server.example.com"
-timeout_ms = 1000
-```
+Trusted Server builds the APS request independently from its Prebid Server request. The request includes:
 
-**Benefits:**
+- `ext.account` from `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk = { "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`;
+- secure banner impressions and configured floors;
+- page, site, device, and consent fields allowed by the existing privacy gates; and
+- eligible EIDs only when consent policy permits them.
 
-- Maximum fill rate
-- Best CPM selection
-- All bidders compete equally
+Precise latitude/longitude, disallowed identifiers, unsupported media types, and Trusted Server/Prebid-only extensions are not forwarded. Unsafe or oversized page URLs are omitted or replaced by the validated publisher fallback.
 
-### APS + Prebid + Mediation
+Raw outbound and inbound payloads are logged only at TRACE level. Normal logs and auction metadata contain aggregate counts and drop reasons.
 
-Let a mediator decide winners:
+## Bid eligibility and selection
 
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
-mediator = "adserver_mock"  # Enables parallel mediation (mediator decides winner)
-timeout_ms = 2000
-```
+APS responses must use USD when a response currency is present. Each eligible bid must have:
 
-## Request Format
+- a known `impid`;
+- a finite decoded price;
+- positive `w` and `h` that match a configured banner format;
+- an HTTPS, credential-free `ext.creativeurl` on an origin other than the publisher; and
+- `ext.tagtype` equal to `iframe`, or `script` when the script gate is enabled.
 
-The integration transforms unified `AuctionRequest` to APS TAM format:
+Trusted Server rejects legacy contextual response shapes and bids with markup-only render sources. It deterministically keeps one eligible APS candidate per impression by highest price, then lexicographically smallest bid ID. This reduction prevents same-slot renderer ambiguity in mediation.
 
-```json
-{
-  "pubId": "5128",
-  "slots": [
-    {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "slotName": "header-banner",
-      "sizes": [
-        [728, 90],
-        [970, 250]
-      ]
-    }
-  ],
-  "pageUrl": "https://example.com/article",
-  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0...",
-  "timeout": 800
-}
-```
+APS bids use `aps` as both the bidder identity and `hb_bidder`, regardless of an upstream seat value. The selected APS bid ID is used for `hb_adid`. APS then competes directly against other decoded-price bids and ordinary slot floors.
 
-## Response Format
+## Rendering security model
 
-APS returns bids in this format:
+Trusted Server does not insert APS creative markup into the publisher document. It serializes only the selected bid into a versioned renderer descriptor. The base64 OpenRTB envelope has exactly this shape:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "bids": [
+  "seatbid": [
     {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "price": 2.5,
-      "adm": "<div>Creative HTML</div>",
-      "w": 728,
-      "h": 90,
-      "adomain": ["amazon.com"],
-      "bidId": "bid-123",
-      "nurl": "https://win-notification.com",
-      "targeting": {
-        "amzniid": "user-id",
-        "amznbid": "2.50"
-      }
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
-The integration automatically transforms this to unified `Bid` format.
+Seats, `impid`, markup, notifications, user-sync data, sibling bids, losing seats, and unknown fields are not exposed. The browser decodes this envelope and cross-checks the ID, dimensions, URL, and tag type before any DOM mutation or message suppression.
 
-## Testing
+Both rendering paths use `GET /integrations/aps/renderer`, a static Trusted Server document with its own restrictive CSP. The document initializes the account-keyed APS queue and then loads only the fixed runner at `https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js`.
 
-### Unit Tests
+The outer iframe uses these sandbox permissions:
 
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps::tests
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
 ```
 
-### Local Testing
+It deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`, so APS and bidder execution remains below an opaque-origin boundary. The renderer response repeats these restrictions with a CSP `sandbox` directive, preventing another embedding path from restoring publisher-origin execution by omitting the iframe attribute. Trusted Server generates a fresh 128-bit nonce, binds it in the iframe URL fragment before navigation, and requires the same one-time nonce in the parent message and renderer acknowledgement. Existing slot content is retained until the static renderer has accepted the descriptor and loaded the fixed runner.
 
-1. Configure APS in `trusted-server.toml`
-2. Set up Fastly backend
-3. Run locally:
-   ```bash
-   fastly compute serve
-   ```
-4. Inspect logs for bid requests/responses
+### Direct `/auction`
 
-### Testing
+The TSJS auction client validates the typed renderer descriptor, creates the opaque renderer iframe, and sends the minimized envelope after the frame loads. Ordinary non-APS `adm` continues through the existing sanitizer and generic creative iframe.
 
-For local testing without live APS credentials, configure the integration with test values:
+### GAM and Universal Creative
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "test-publisher-123"
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-Run unit tests:
-
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps
-```
-
-## Monitoring
+For initial navigation and page-bids, Trusted Server publishes the same descriptor in `window.tsjs.bids`. The source-checked Prebid Universal Creative bridge accepts requests only from the iframe that owns the matching `hb_adid`, validates the complete envelope, and returns a static dynamic-renderer program that creates the same opaque renderer iframe.
 
-The integration logs detailed information at different levels:
+This path does not fetch PBS Cache, fire generic APS win/billing beacons, or call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for the Trusted Server winner. Publisher-owned native APS objects are otherwise left untouched.
 
-```rust
-// Info: Auction lifecycle
-log::info!("APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)");
-log::info!("APS returned 2 bids in 150ms");
+## Publisher CSP
 
-// Debug: Request/response payloads
-log::debug!("APS: sending bid request: {...}");
-log::debug!("APS: received response: {...}");
+The publisher policy must permit the same-origin renderer route, for example:
 
-// Warn: Non-success responses
-log::warn!("APS returned non-success status: 400");
+```text
+frame-src 'self'
 ```
 
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Problem: No bids returned
-
-**Check:**
-
-1. Verify `pub_id` is correct
-2. Check backend is configured: `fastly backend list`
-3. Increase timeout: `timeout_ms = 1200`
-4. View logs with `fastly compute serve`
-
-**Possible causes:**
+Do not add `allow-same-origin` to the outer renderer sandbox. The renderer endpoint supplies its own CSP for the fixed runner and HTTPS creative resources.
 
-- Invalid `pub_id` configuration
-- Timeout too short (increase `timeout_ms`)
-- Backend not configured correctly
-- APS account not active
+Before enabling script creatives, verify under the publisher's actual CSP that both iframe and script-tag creatives:
 
-### Problem: "Backend not found" error
+- render and size correctly;
+- cannot read or modify `top.document`;
+- cannot restore publisher-origin execution;
+- reject malformed descriptors, nonce mismatches, and replay; and
+- work through both direct and GAM/Universal Creative paths.
 
-**Solution:**
-Add backend to Fastly (see Step 1)
+If script rendering requires weakening the outer sandbox, leave `allow_script_creatives = false` and consult APS instead.
 
-### Problem: Parse errors
+## Migration from the legacy APS integration
 
-**Check:**
+This release is a direct protocol cutover:
 
-- Enable debug logging
-- Verify endpoint URL is correct
-- Check APS API for changes
+1. Replace the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` endpoint with `/e/pb/bid`.
+2. Rename `pub_id` to `account_id`.
+3. Remove APS-specific slot ID configuration and remove `aps` from Prebid Server bidder lists. Trusted Server also filters APS from PBS requests for this path.
+4. Prepare GAM line items and Universal Creative for `hb_bidder=aps` and the selected APS `hb_adid`.
+5. Disable publisher-native APS demand for the Trusted Server test cohort.
 
-**Solutions:**
+There is no legacy runtime switch. Roll back by disabling `[integrations.aps]`, restoring native APS for the cohort, or deploying the prior binary.
 
-- Enable debug logging to inspect response
-- Verify APS endpoint is correct
-- Check for API changes (update structs if needed)
+## Rollout
 
-### Timeout Errors
+Use fictional values in source-controlled configuration and fixtures. Supply controlled account details out of band.
 
-**Symptoms:**
+1. Obtain APS account-team confirmation for edge-originated OpenRTB traffic.
+2. Enable Trusted Server APS only for an isolated cohort and disable native APS demand there.
+3. Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` and observe iframe bids through direct and GAM paths.
+4. Confirm outbound privacy fields, aggregate diagnostics, decoded-price competition, line-item targeting, dimensions, click-throughs, and opaque-origin isolation.
+5. Run the restrictive-CSP browser proof for script behavior.
+6. Only then enable script creatives for the isolated cohort and validate them in a real browser.
+7. Expand traffic only after APS confirmation and successful controlled validation.
 
-```
-APS request failed: Timeout
-```
-
-**Solutions:**
-
-- Increase `timeout_ms` in config
-- Check backend connectivity
-- Verify DNS resolution for `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
+## Troubleshooting
 
-## Performance Tuning
+### No APS bids
 
-### Timeout Configuration
+- Confirm `account_id` and account eligibility with APS.
+- Confirm the endpoint is `/e/pb/bid` and uses HTTPS without credentials.
+- Ensure `aps` appears in `auction.providers`.
+- Check aggregate APS drop reasons for currency, dimensions, render source, URL, tag type, or script-gate rejection.
+- Confirm the provider timeout fits inside the auction timeout.
 
-- **Default**: 800ms (matches APS client-side behavior)
-- **Aggressive**: 500ms (reduce latency, may miss some bids)
-- **Conservative**: 1200ms (maximize fill rate)
+### Winner targets but does not render
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800  # Balance latency vs fill rate
-```
+- Confirm `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` returns HTML with its CSP and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.
+- Confirm publisher CSP permits `frame-src 'self'`.
+- Confirm the GAM creative uses the supported Prebid Universal Creative bridge and the winning `hb_adid`.
+- Ensure no native APS path is trying to handle the same cohort.
+- Keep script creatives disabled while diagnosing iframe rendering.
 
-### Orchestrator Timeout
+## Verification
 
-Ensure orchestrator timeout exceeds provider timeout:
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-timeout_ms = 2000  # > sum of all provider timeouts
-
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-timeout_ms = 1000
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
 ```
 
-## Integration with Client-Side
-
-While this implementation focuses on server-side bidding, you can optionally add client-side components later:
-
-1. **ID Resolution**: Integrate third-party ID vendors client-side
-2. **Analytics**: Load `aps_csm.js` for viewability tracking
-3. **Config Loading**: Fetch `/configs/{pub_id}` for advanced settings
-
-See the original network flow documentation for client-side patterns.
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-Potential additions for complete APS TAM parity:
-
-1. **Video Support**: Add video slot formats
-2. **ID Enrichment**: Server-side ID resolution (LiveRamp, ID5, etc.)
-3. **Advanced Targeting**: Pass user segments, geo data
-4. **Config API**: Fetch APS configuration from `/configs/{pub_id}`
-5. **Analytics**: Integrate with APS measurement endpoints
-

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** Implement task-by-task with tests first. Do not use bare
+> `cargo test --workspace`; use the adapter-aware aliases from `.cargo/config.toml`.
+> Commit or push only when the supervising user explicitly requests it.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the legacy APS `/e/dtb/bid` integration with APS OpenRTB,
+participate with decoded prices without mediation, and render APS banner creatives in
+the direct-auction and GPT/page-bids browser paths.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep APS request/response policy in an APS-specific OpenRTB adapter.
+Map the response into the shared `Bid` plus a typed, versioned APS renderer descriptor.
+Carry that descriptor through `/auction` and the publisher bid map. TSJS builds a
+Trusted Server-owned bootstrap for the fixed APS `prebid-creative.js` runner and
+executes it in the approved sandbox. Ordinary `adm` remains on the existing mandatory
+sanitize/rewrite path.
+
+**Tech stack:** Rust 2024, generated OpenRTB types, serde/serde_json, base64 0.22,
+error-stack, URL validation, TypeScript, Vitest, Prebid Universal Creative messaging.
+
+**Spec:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md`
+
+**Branch:** `issue-764-aps-openrtb`

+
+## Context and guardrails for every task
+
+- APS may be implemented and tested before production edge support is confirmed.
+  Broad production rollout remains blocked until the APS account team confirms the
+  Fastly/edge contract.
+- Send APS SDK identity `{ "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`.
+- Build the exact renderer allowlist: one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`,
+  `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently
+  expose the complete APS response.
+- The outer renderer sandbox must omit `allow-same-origin`.
+  `allow_script_creatives` is a server-side capability gate that defaults false;
+  disabled script bids must be dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+  Enable it only under the staged opaque-origin and controlled-account test policy.
+- APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` delivery are out of scope. Do not add either
+  browser path.
+- Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` as an alias only; do not add a legacy protocol
+  switch.
+- When a Trusted Server APS renderer is present, do not call
+  `apstag.setDisplayBids()`.
+- Banner only. Do not advertise APS video support in this issue.
+- Do not weaken `sanitize_creative_html` or its tests.
+- Raw APS requests/responses remain TRACE-only. Never log real account IDs, EIDs,
+  consent strings, creative URLs, bid tokens, or response bodies at normal levels.
+- All committed fixtures/docs use fictional `example` values. Controlled test-account
+  values stay out of the repository and terminal transcripts intended for review.
+- Use `error-stack`; no anyhow/eyre/thiserror in core code.
+- Use `log::` macros, not `println!`; use descriptive `expect("should ...")`, not
+  `unwrap()`.
+- Run the focused test immediately after each production-code change.
+

+
+## Task 1: Add typed bid identifiers and renderer state
+
+**What:** Give the shared auction model enough typed state to distinguish OpenRTB bid,
+ad, and creative IDs and carry a validated APS renderer without using arbitrary
+metadata.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+- Modify: every production/test `Bid { ... }` construction found by
+  `rg -n 'Bid \{' crates/trusted-server-core`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+
+- [ ] Add failing serde tests for a bid with:
+  - separate `bid_id`, `ad_id`, and `creative_id`;
+  - an APS renderer version, account ID, selected bid ID, tag type, creative URL,
+    encoded response, and dimensions; and
+  - `renderer = None` omission for ordinary bids.
+- [ ] Define a strict `ApsTagType` enum with only `Iframe` and `Script`.
+- [ ] Define a versioned, typed renderer enum/descriptor. The serialized renderer must
+      use camelCase and a discriminator equivalent to:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "type": "aps",
+    "version": 1,
+    "accountId": "example-account-id",
+    "bidId": "fictional-bid-id",
+    "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+    "tagType": "iframe",
+    "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+    "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+    "width": 300,
+    "height": 250
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Add to `Bid`:
+  - `bid_id: Option<String>`;
+  - `creative_id: Option<String>`; and
+  - `renderer: Option<...>`.
+- [ ] Make descriptor `creativeId` optional and omit it when APS does not return
+      `crid`; add a serde test for the absent-`crid` case.
+- [ ] Correct stale comments saying APS prices are encoded or that APS has no creative
+      delivery mechanism.
+- [ ] Update every `Bid` literal. Use `None` outside production parser paths; do not use
+      serde defaults to hide missed production mappings.
+- [ ] Update Prebid's `parse_bid` to preserve OpenRTB `id` as `bid_id` and `crid` as
+      `creative_id`, while retaining the existing strict `adid -> ad_id` semantics.
+- [ ] Run the focused tests:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::types
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::prebid::tests::parse_bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all` and `cargo check-fastly` before proceeding.
+
+**Expected result:** Shared bids can represent APS renderer state without overloading
+`ad_id` or leaking renderer data through general metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Cut APS configuration over to the OpenRTB contract
+
+**What:** Replace the public APS configuration terminology and default endpoint before
+replacing request/response behavior.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: existing APS test module in the same file
+
+- [ ] Add failing configuration tests proving:
+  - `account_id = "example-account-id"` deserializes;
+  - legacy `pub_id` deserializes to the same field;
+  - string and integer compatibility is retained;
+  - empty and whitespace-only strings fail validation;
+  - surrounding whitespace is trimmed deterministically;
+  - supplying both names fails as a duplicate field;
+  - the default endpoint is `/e/pb/bid`;
+  - HTTP, missing-host, and credential-bearing endpoint overrides fail validation; and
+  - APS remains disabled by default; and
+  - `allow_script_creatives` defaults false.
+- [ ] Rename `ApsConfig.pub_id` to `account_id`, using `pub_id` only as a serde alias.
+      Trim string values, reject empty-after-trim, normalize integers to strings, and
+      rename the custom deserializer/error text accordingly.
+- [ ] Add `allow_script_creatives: bool` with a serde default of `false`. Treat it as a
+      server-side bid-eligibility capability, not a browser-only rendering preference.
+- [ ] Change `default_endpoint()` to:
+
+  ```text
+  https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Replace generic URL-only endpoint validation with a custom check requiring HTTPS,
+      a non-empty host, and no username/password. Do not add a plaintext test exception:
+      the endpoint response is trusted to select executable renderer data.
+- [ ] Remove account IDs from registration and request INFO logs. Log only that APS was
+      registered and the endpoint/provider-safe state needed operationally.
+- [ ] Change `supports_media_type` to banner only.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all -- --check`.
+
+**Expected result:** Existing configs continue through `pub_id`, new configs use
+`account_id`, and no runtime protocol switch is introduced.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Replace the legacy request builder with APS OpenRTB
+
+**What:** Delete the private `/e/dtb/bid` request types and build the request described
+by the design spec from trusted auction context.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify only if useful: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Test: APS and auction-format test modules
+
+### 3.1 Request fixture tests
+
+- [ ] Add a failing complete-request test with fictional values. Assert exact JSON for:
+  - request `id`, `tmax`, and `cur = ["USD"]`;
+  - `ext.account`;
+  - `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"` and `version = "2.2.0"`;
+  - one impression per eligible slot with direct `imp.id` mapping;
+  - banner `format`, first `w`/`h`, `topframe = 0`, floor, floor currency, and
+    unconditional `secure = 1`;
+  - site page/domain/publisher fields;
+  - consent-allowed user ID and EIDs;
+  - UA/IP/language/DNT and coarse geo;
+  - TCF/USP/GPP registrations with COPPA omitted because no trusted signal exists; and
+  - absence of all PBS-only request and impression extensions.
+- [ ] Add focused privacy/validation tests:
+  - latitude/longitude are omitted while permitted coarse geo remains;
+  - gated-out user/EID values stay absent;
+  - no user data, keywords, gender, YOB, customdata, cookies, or arbitrary headers;
+  - non-banner slots are omitted;
+  - dimensions above `i32::MAX` are omitted safely;
+  - empty/invalid formats cannot create a malformed impression;
+  - configured and effective timeout use the orchestrator-granted budget.
+
+### 3.2 `/auction` page derivation
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests to `auction/formats.rs` proving:
+  - a valid same-publisher HTTP(S) `Referer` becomes the `/auction` current page;
+  - userinfo, wrong-host, non-HTTP(S), malformed, and oversized URLs are rejected;
+  - rejection falls back to the configured publisher origin; and
+  - no unrestricted browser body field is accepted as page context.
+- [ ] Implement a small private URL-validation helper. Reuse it in APS referrer
+      handling if practical, but do not make it a broad URL-policy refactor.
+
+### 3.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove `ApsBidRequest`, `ApsSlot`, legacy consent wrappers, slot-ID fallback, and
+      `to_aps_request`.
+- [ ] Add APS request extension types locally in `aps.rs` unless another module must
+      serialize them. Implement `ToExt` consistently with existing OpenRTB extension
+      types.
+- [ ] Implement `build_openrtb_request(&AuctionRequest, &AuctionContext)` using generated
+      OpenRTB types and `to_openrtb_i32`.
+- [ ] Build registrations from the existing `ConsentContext` placements. Copy only the
+      small field mapping needed by APS; do not expose/refactor the PBS builder in this
+      task.
+- [ ] Derive `site.ref` only from a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` that differs from
+      the normalized current page.
+- [ ] Change `request_bids` to serialize/send the OpenRTB body with
+      `Content-Type: application/json`, the existing bounded auction timeout, and no
+      forwarded cookies.
+- [ ] Keep serialized request logging at TRACE.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo check-fastly
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review serialized request fixtures against the immutable upstream request code;
+      explicitly confirm no `ext.prebid` or Trusted Server signing extension appears.
+
+**Expected result:** Every eligible APS banner slot produces a standards-based OpenRTB
+impression with explicit APS and privacy policy.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Parse APS OpenRTB and build the minimized renderer envelope
+
+**What:** Replace `contextual.slots` parsing with strict `seatbid` parsing, decoded CPM,
+one APS candidate per impression, and the exact renderer envelope.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: APS test module
+
+### 4.1 Add failing response tests
+
+- [ ] A runner-compatible banner bid maps:
+  - `id -> bid_id`;
+  - optional `adid -> ad_id` and `crid -> creative_id`;
+  - `impid -> slot_id`;
+  - decoded price/USD, dimensions and domains;
+  - `Bid.bidder = "aps"` regardless of upstream seat; and
+  - `ext.creativeurl`/`ext.tagtype` into the typed renderer.
+- [ ] Missing, string, numeric, and unexpected seat values never become `Bid.bidder` or
+      `hb_bidder` and do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid.
+- [ ] A valid runner-compatible bid without `crid` remains renderable with no
+      `creativeId` in the descriptor.
+- [ ] The immutable official adapter fixture (`ext.bidder` only) is an expected safe
+      drop because the live runner requires `creativeurl`/`tagtype`.
+- [ ] `iframe` and `script` parse into strict enum variants. With
+      `allow_script_creatives = false`, every script bid is safe-dropped before
+      per-impression reduction and winner selection; iframe bids remain eligible.
+- [ ] With one higher-priced script bid and one lower-priced iframe bid for the same
+      impression, the disabled script cannot win and the iframe candidate survives.
+      With only disabled script bids, APS returns no bid.
+- [ ] An APS bid with `adm` but no valid URL/tag type is dropped. When valid renderer
+      metadata coexists with `adm`, all markup is excluded from the browser envelope
+      and `Bid.creative`.
+- [ ] HTTP 204, empty/missing `seatbid`, and seat bids with no bids are normal no-bids.
+- [ ] Legacy `{ "contextual": ... }` is `Error`/`unexpected_response_shape`.
+- [ ] Drop individual bids with unknown/missing `impid`, invalid price/currency/media,
+      missing/zero/out-of-range/incompatible `w` or `h`, missing bid ID, invalid tag
+      type, disabled script capability, or invalid creative URL.
+- [ ] Creative URLs using HTTP, credentials, excessive length, malformed syntax, or the
+      configured publisher origin are rejected.
+- [ ] One structurally malformed bid does not discard another valid bid. Invalid JSON or
+      non-representable numeric literals fail the complete response.
+- [ ] APS `nurl`/`burl` are intentionally discarded, and top-level `ext.userSyncs`
+      reaches neither `Bid`, diagnostics, nor renderer data.
+- [ ] Diagnostics contain only fixed reason/count keys and never IDs, URLs, payloads,
+      account values, seats, or raw extension data.
+
+### 4.2 Exact envelope and collision tests
+
+- [ ] Add `test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json` containing exactly:
+  - root `seatbid`;
+  - one seat object containing only `bid`;
+  - one bid containing only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`; and
+  - `ext` containing only `creativeurl` and `tagtype`.
+- [ ] Assert Rust serialization equals that golden JSON semantically and that decoded
+      `aaxResponse` has no top-level ID/currency, seat, impid, ad/crid/domain,
+      notifications, markup, syncs, sibling bids, or unknown extensions.
+- [ ] Remove unknown fields after transient parsing; do not copy an upstream extension
+      map wholesale into the renderer envelope.
+- [ ] Add a response over the 256 KiB pre-base64 cap and assert
+      `render_payload_too_large`.
+- [ ] Add two valid APS bids with the same impression/seat. Assert the parser returns
+      only the highest price; for a tie, lexicographically lowest bid ID wins with its
+      own matching renderer payload.
+
+### 4.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove all legacy request/response types, slot maps and tests.
+- [ ] Special-case HTTP 204 before body collection/JSON parsing.
+- [ ] Parse the response as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields, then
+      validate each bid independently so a wrong-typed bid cannot discard valid
+      siblings.
+- [ ] Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"`; discard upstream seat/network ID unless a bounded typed
+      internal consumer is introduced. Set APS `nurl = None` and `burl = None`.
+- [ ] Require present, positive, compatible `w` and `h`. Apply
+      `allow_script_creatives` before adding a candidate to the per-impression group so
+      a disabled script cannot reach floors, mediation, or winner selection.
+- [ ] Validate creative URL against the configured publisher origin and build the exact
+      allowlisted envelope from new values rather than cloning upstream objects.
+- [ ] Group accepted candidates by `impid`, reduce deterministically to one, then build
+      the final `AuctionResponse` and aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Preserve `collect_response_bounded(..., UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES, "aps")`,
+      TRACE-only raw body logging, and safe aggregate normal logs.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** APS returns at most one priced, renderer-compatible candidate per
+impression, with an exact browser envelope and stable `bidder = "aps"`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Emit APS winners through `/auction` and prove direct selection
+
+**What:** Use the new identifiers and renderer in the OpenRTB response without
+manufacturing an empty creative, then replace the old mediation assumptions.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs` if a typed bid extension helper is
+  useful
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/orchestrator.rs`
+- Test: format and orchestrator test modules
+
+### 5.1 Failing tests
+
+- [ ] `/auction` maps `Bid.bid_id`, `ad_id`, and optional `creative_id` to OpenRTB
+      `id`, `adid`, and optional `crid` instead of fabricating APS identifiers.
+- [ ] An APS renderer winner has no `adm` key and has
+      `ext.trusted_server.renderer` with the complete versioned descriptor—not a
+      `{type,version}` abbreviation.
+- [ ] A normal `Bid.creative` is still sanitized and rewritten before becoming `adm`.
+- [ ] A winning bid with neither creative nor renderer fails explicitly; it does not
+      serialize `adm: ""`.
+- [ ] A renderer descriptor does not enter the HTML sanitizer.
+- [ ] APS decoded price wins with no mediator when it is highest.
+- [ ] APS loses to a higher clear-price bid.
+- [ ] APS is removed below a slot floor.
+- [ ] Optional mediator presence does not make decoded APS pricing special.
+
+### 5.2 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Add a typed bid-extension serializer for `trusted_server.renderer`.
+- [ ] In `convert_to_openrtb_response`:
+  - preserve real bid/ad/creative IDs;
+  - process `creative` only through the existing sanitize/rewrite branch;
+  - emit renderer ext only for a typed renderer; and
+  - return an auction error for a winner with no render source.
+- [ ] Remove stale “mediation should have provided creative” APS assumptions and encoded
+      price comments.
+- [ ] Replace old orchestrator APS tests with decoded-price/floor tests. Do not change the
+      winner algorithm itself.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct clients receive a priced APS winner with an explicit render
+capability and never mistake an empty `adm` for a creative.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Preserve APS renderer state through mediation and publisher bid maps
+
+**What:** Ensure both publisher paths expose the same APS descriptor and a mediator
+cannot accidentally strip it.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/adserver_mock.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: tests in both files
+
+### 6.1 Mediation tests
+
+- [ ] Add a regression test documenting the current collision: two unreduced APS bids
+      with the same provider/slot/bidder overwrite the `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
+      and can restore the wrong renderer.
+- [ ] Feed the parser's reduced APS response into mediation and prove only the selected
+      source bid reaches the index/request and its bid ID/renderer survive reconstruction.
+- [ ] Keep the broader mediator index unchanged in this issue; APS avoids its existing
+      ambiguity by returning one candidate per impression. Extend restoration only for
+      `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and renderer while preserving existing non-APS
+      notification/cache behavior.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
+  ```
+
+### 6.2 Bid-map tests
+
+- [ ] Add failing `build_bid_map` tests proving:
+  - APS renderer is present when `include_adm = false`;
+  - renderer data is identical for initial-page and page-bids serialization;
+  - `hb_bidder` is always `aps`, never upstream seat/network ID;
+  - `hb_adid` uses APS selected `bid_id` ahead of OpenRTB `adid`;
+  - PBS Cache UUID remains highest priority for PBS bids;
+  - APS `nurl`/`burl` are absent while existing non-APS notifications are unchanged;
+  - no general metadata is exposed in normal mode;
+  - `aaxResponse` and account data survive `build_bids_script` escaping without
+    breaking out of the script; and
+  - a non-APS bid has no renderer property.
+- [ ] Update `build_bid_map` to serialize typed renderer data normally while retaining
+      `adm`/`debug_bid` only under the existing debug flag.
+- [ ] Set APS `hb_adid` from the descriptor's selected bid ID. Preserve current cache and
+      ad-ID fallbacks.
+- [ ] Update `debug_bid` deliberately: IDs may be shown under existing debug behavior,
+      but do not duplicate the potentially large encoded renderer envelope there.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly publisher
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct, mediated, initial-navigation, and SPA auction paths retain
+one typed APS render contract without exposing losing bids or arbitrary metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Add the opaque APS renderer endpoint and direct-auction integration
+
+**What:** Serve a static renderer document with its own CSP, validate the exact data the
+vendor consumes, and keep all APS/bidder execution below an outer opaque-origin
+sandbox.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/mod.rs`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/auction.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/request.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/core/auction.test.ts`
+- Modify/add: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/`
+
+### 7.1 Shared wire contract
+
+- [ ] Add TypeScript discriminated types matching the Rust descriptor, with optional
+      `creativeId`.
+- [ ] Make the shared fictional JSON fixture the source of truth: Rust serialization
+      equals it and TS tests import it.
+- [ ] Add `/auction` parser tests for valid renderer ext, absent APS `adm`, optional
+      creative ID, ordinary non-APS `adm`, unrelated ext, and malformed descriptors.
+- [ ] Keep parsing structural; complete trust validation happens before DOM/message
+      side effects.
+
+### 7.2 Static renderer endpoint
+
+- [ ] Add APS to `integrations::builders()` as a proxy registration using the same
+      validated `ApsConfig`, `.with_proxy(...)`, and `.without_js()`.
+- [ ] Register only `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` and return a static document—no
+      account, bid, URL, or response data in HTML.
+- [ ] Add Rust tests for exact route registration, method rejection, content type,
+      `nosniff`, `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and the explicit renderer CSP. The CSP
+      must repeat the approved sandbox tokens without `allow-same-origin` so direct
+      embedding cannot bypass the opaque boundary.
+- [ ] Before loading the vendor runner, the static initializer reads and strictly
+      validates the expected nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it, removes the
+      fragment from visible history, and installs its one-message listener.
+- [ ] The static script accepts one parent message, verifies `event.source`, version,
+      exact structure, and equality with the independently fragment-bound nonce, then
+      removes its listener, initializes the official account queue, dispatches
+      `prebid/creative/render`, and dynamically loads the fixed runner. Reply with the
+      accepted nonce only after runner load (or report runner failure). Because the
+      sandbox origin is opaque, use `"*"` as the target origin in both directions but
+      require the exact child/source window and one-time nonce.
+- [ ] Load only the fixed Amazon runner URL; do not interpolate renderer data into
+      script text, HTML, `srcdoc`, `document.write`, or another executable sink.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::tests
+  ```
+
+### 7.3 Decode and cross-check consumed data
+
+- [ ] `validateApsRenderer` must base64-decode UTF-8 JSON and require the exact allowlist:
+      one seat, one bid, exact bid/ext keys, finite price, dimensions, URL, and tag type.
+- [ ] Cross-check decoded ID/dimensions/URL/tag type against descriptor fields.
+- [ ] Reject unknown keys, markup, notifications, syncs, invalid base64/UTF-8/JSON,
+      non-HTTPS or credential-bearing URLs, and URLs matching `location.origin`.
+- [ ] Validate before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation`, iframe creation, or
+      `postMessage`.
+- [ ] Repeat message/envelope validation inside the static renderer document.
+
+### 7.4 Opaque direct renderer
+
+- [ ] `renderApsCreative` creates a sized iframe with `src` set to
+      `/integrations/aps/renderer`; it never uses outer `srcdoc`.
+- [ ] Apply exactly these tokens and assert `allow-same-origin` is absent:
+
+  ```text
+  allow-forms
+  allow-pointer-lock
+  allow-popups
+  allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+  allow-scripts
+  allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Generate at least 128 random bits per frame with `crypto.getRandomValues`, encode
+      them as strict base64url, and set `iframe.src` to the trusted renderer URL with
+      that nonce in the fragment before insertion/navigation. After load, post the
+      validated descriptor with the same nonce. Clear existing content and reveal the
+      frame only after an exact source- and nonce-bound runner-ready acknowledgement;
+      remove an unacknowledged or failed hidden frame after a bounded timeout.
+- [ ] Reject a missing/malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, repeat, or stale message; a
+      nonce carried only in the posted message is not sufficient.
+- [ ] Leave existing slot content intact on validation/load failure and log no payload,
+      account, URL or bid ID.
+- [ ] Dispatch valid APS renderer bids before ordinary non-APS `adm`; do not change the
+      generic sanitizer/renderer.
+
+### 7.5 Restrictive-CSP and origin proof
+
+- [ ] Add Playwright coverage using a restrictive publisher CSP that permits only
+      `frame-src 'self'` for the renderer route.
+- [ ] Use a local fictional runner/creative implementation matching observed APS
+      iframe/script behavior; CI must not depend on the live Amazon script.
+- [ ] Prove iframe and fetched-HTML script creatives cannot read or modify
+      `top.document`, even though the nested vendor frame requests
+      `allow-same-origin`. Also embed the renderer without an iframe sandbox attribute
+      and prove the response-level CSP sandbox still keeps it opaque.
+- [ ] Prove the renderer route's CSP permits required HTTPS ad resources, the outer
+      frame stays opaque, malformed/mismatched envelopes or fragment/message nonce
+      mismatches do not clear slots, replay is rejected, and the runner can size/render
+      without parent-origin `frameElement` access.
+- [ ] Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` for normal traffic during local browser
+      proof. If script rendering/resizing fails, keep the server gate false and stop for
+      an APS-supported isolated renderer contract. Never add `allow-same-origin` to the
+      outer frame.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
+  node build-all.mjs
+  npm run format
+
+  cd ../../../crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser
+  npx playwright test
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct APS rendering uses a separately served document below an
+opaque outer sandbox with a pre-bound, one-time nonce; script bids cannot win while the
+default-off server capability is disabled.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Integrate APS with the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge
+
+**What:** Serve APS descriptors through the existing source-checked `Prebid Request`
+message path and stop signaling the native APS SDK for TS winners.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+- Modify if needed: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts`
+- Reuse: `src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+
+### 8.1 Add failing bridge tests
+
+- [ ] A matching APS `hb_adid` and renderer:
+  - is accepted only from the owning slot's message source;
+  - is fully decoded/cross-checked before `stopImmediatePropagation()`;
+  - does not fetch PBS Cache or fire generic nurl/burl beacons;
+  - posts one exact serializable `Prebid Response` using the deployed Universal
+    Creative renderer version; and
+  - creates only the opaque renderer-route iframe before posting the descriptor.
+- [ ] Two concurrent requests for the same APS ad ID do not double-render.
+- [ ] An APS descriptor requested from another slot is ignored.
+- [ ] Invalid renderer data does not stop another legitimate handler and does not clear
+      a slot.
+- [ ] Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache tests remain green.
+- [ ] `adInit()` does not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for a bid with a Trusted Server
+      APS renderer, even if `window.apstag` exists.
+- [ ] A publisher-owned native APS SDK remains otherwise untouched; TS does not delete,
+      reinitialize, or monkey-patch it.
+
+### 8.2 Implement bridge support
+
+- [ ] Import the shared envelope validator/opaque-frame helper without importing the
+      full Prebid bundle.
+- [ ] Add the APS branch after source-slot ownership and full renderer validation, before
+      debug ADM/PBS Cache branches.
+- [ ] Define and fixture-test the exact Universal Creative message object, including
+      `rendererVersion`; do not describe or send a non-cloneable function.
+- [ ] Compute an absolute `/integrations/aps/renderer` URL from the trusted publisher
+      page origin before crossing into GAM; a relative URL in the creative frame would
+      resolve against GAM. Validate that URL separately from APS data.
+- [ ] Keep renderer source static and limited to creating the sandboxed iframe with that
+      absolute renderer URL plus a fresh nonce fragment, then post validated data and
+      the matching nonce after load and resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound
+      renderer-ready acknowledgement.
+- [ ] Preserve `renderingAdIds` and live `window.tsjs.bids`. Do not call
+      `fireWinBillingBeacons` for APS; existing non-APS beacon deduplication is unchanged.
+- [ ] Remove the `apstag?.setDisplayBids?.()` block that treats every APS targeting bid
+      as a native SDK bid. Update comments accordingly.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run \
+    test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/spa_hook.test.ts
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Initial navigation and SPA page-bids render the selected APS bid
+through the same typed bootstrap, without relying on native `apstag` state.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Update operator configuration, migration docs, and changelog
+
+**What:** Replace all legacy public guidance and document test/rollout dependencies.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+- Rewrite: `docs/guide/integrations/aps.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Review references found by:
+
+  ```bash
+  rg -n 'e/dtb/bid|pub_id|amznbid|amznp|setDisplayBids|APS.*mediat' \
+    --glob '!target/**' .
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Change the example to `account_id` and `/e/pb/bid`, with fictional values.
+- [ ] Document `pub_id` as a compatibility alias and duplicate-name failure.
+- [ ] Remove any claim that `slot_id`/`bidders.aps.slotID` is required for the OpenRTB
+      provider.
+- [ ] Document banner-only scope, USD comparison, decoded-price direct winners, and
+      aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Document both rendering paths, static renderer endpoint, fixed APS runner URL,
+      exact envelope allowlist, fragment-bound nonce, outer sandbox without
+      `allow-same-origin`, renderer endpoint/publisher CSP requirements, and the
+      default-off `allow_script_creatives` server gate.
+- [ ] State that user sync and Trusted Server firing of APS `nurl`/`burl` are not
+      implemented.
+- [ ] State that public APS metadata says PBS unsupported and production edge traffic
+      still requires account-team confirmation.
+- [ ] Add a cohort rollout checklist:
+  - TS APS enabled;
+  - native APS demand disabled for that cohort;
+  - GAM line item/Universal Creative prepared for `hb_bidder=aps` and selected
+    `hb_adid`;
+  - iframe rendering observed first while `allow_script_creatives = false`;
+  - script enabled only for the isolated cohort after local browser proof, then observed
+    in a real browser; and
+  - no real IDs/tokens captured in docs or fixtures.
+- [ ] Document rollback as disabling APS, restoring native APS for the cohort, or binary
+      rollback—not a legacy config switch.
+- [ ] Add a breaking/migration changelog entry for endpoint and canonical field changes.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd docs
+  npx prettier --write \
+    superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md \
+    superpowers/plans/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration.md \
+    guide/integrations/aps.md
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Operators cannot accidentally configure the old protocol or assume
+user sync/video/native SDK behavior that no longer exists.
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Controlled APS and browser verification
+
+**What:** Validate the uncertain external contract without putting account-specific
+material into source control.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Controlled APS account/config supplied out of band; native APS demand
+disabled for the test cohort; representative GAM line items and publisher CSP; local
+restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin script proof already passing.
+
+- [ ] Deploy with APS enabled only in the controlled cohort and
+      `allow_script_creatives = false` initially.
+- [ ] Prove with parser/orchestrator telemetry and tests that disabled script bids are
+      removed before candidate reduction/winner selection and cannot leave a winning
+      slot without a renderer.
+- [ ] Confirm the outbound body has:
+  - `/e/pb/bid` endpoint;
+  - `ext.account` from operator config;
+  - `ext.sdk = { source: "prebid", version: "2.2.0" }`;
+  - expected impressions, floors, page/device/privacy fields; and
+  - no latitude/longitude or disallowed identity fields.
+- [ ] Confirm a bid returns a decoded price and can beat another provider with no
+      mediator.
+- [ ] Confirm the browser receives the exact one-bid allowlist in `aaxResponse`, with no
+      seat, impid, IDs beyond selected bid ID, domains, notifications, markup, syncs,
+      unknown extensions, sibling bids, or losing seats.
+- [ ] Confirm the immutable official no-renderer fixture safe-drops and separately
+      observe real `creativeurl`/`tagtype` responses.
+- [ ] Exercise a real `tagtype=iframe` response through direct `/auction` and
+      navigation/page-bids/GAM while the script gate remains false.
+- [ ] Only after the local browser proof, set `allow_script_creatives = true` for this
+      isolated cohort and exercise a real `tagtype=script` response through both paths.
+      Do not enable it for other traffic yet.
+- [ ] Verify the exact envelope works with the current APS runner. If it does not, record
+      only missing field names/shape, stop rollout, consult APS, and update spec/tests;
+      never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response.
+- [ ] Verify the outer frame has an opaque origin, restrictive publisher CSP succeeds,
+      click-through/dimensions work, and bidder content cannot access parent DOM.
+- [ ] If the fixed runner cannot render/resize script creatives without outer
+      `allow-same-origin`, restore `allow_script_creatives = false` and stop; do not
+      weaken the boundary.
+- [ ] Verify `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for the TS winner and APS is not
+      participating twice.
+- [ ] Verify INFO/WARN logs and auction summaries contain no raw response or sensitive
+      values.
+- [ ] Obtain APS account-team confirmation before enabling broad production traffic.
+
+**Expected result:** Iframe creatives render under the default policy; script creatives
+become winner-eligible only for the staged cohort after both browser proof phases pass,
+or the server gate returns to false and rollout stops with a bounded contract gap.
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Final regression and repository verification
+
+Run the complete required matrix from the repository root.
+
+### Rust formatting, tests, and lint
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo test-fastly
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo test-cloudflare
+  cargo test-spin
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  cargo clippy-axum
+  cargo clippy-cloudflare
+  cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+  cargo clippy-spin-native
+  cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+  ```
+
+### Cross-adapter parity
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test \
+    --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml \
+    --test parity
+  ```
+
+### JS and docs
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && node build-all.mjs)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npm run format)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser && npx playwright test)
+  (cd docs && npm run format)
+  ```
+
+### Final review
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  git diff --check
+  git status --short
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review every `Bid` construction and mediator conversion for the new identifiers
+      and renderer field.
+- [ ] Review every `adm` assignment and prove it still passes through server
+      sanitization.
+- [ ] Review every renderer serialization boundary and prove only winning APS data is
+      exposed.
+- [ ] Review logs for account IDs, URLs, bid IDs, payloads, and consent/EID leakage.
+- [ ] Verify no real controlled-account data entered source, tests, docs, comments, or
+      snapshots.
+- [ ] Compare the final behavior against all acceptance criteria in the design spec.
+

+
+## Suggested implementation checkpoints
+
+If commits are requested, keep reviewable checkpoints aligned with the tasks:
+
+1. `Add typed APS renderer state to auction bids`
+2. `Build APS OpenRTB requests`
+3. `Parse APS OpenRTB responses`
+4. `Carry APS renderer metadata to clients`
+5. `Render APS creatives in TSJS and GPT`
+6. `Document APS OpenRTB migration`
+
+Do not combine unrelated refactors with these checkpoints.

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-15  
+**Status:** Approved for implementation and test; production rollout remains subject to APS account-team validation  
+**Issue:** [#764 — Add the Amazon APS Prebid Adapter as first class integration](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/764)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Replace Trusted Server's legacy Amazon Publisher Services (APS/TAM) wire contract
+with the OpenRTB contract used by the official APS Prebid.js adapter, so APS can:
+
+1. receive a valid OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot;
+2. return a decoded CPM that competes directly without a mediator;
+3. render winning `iframe` and `script` creatives through a deliberate APS browser
+   renderer; and
+4. preserve Trusted Server's existing privacy, sanitization, bounded-I/O, and
+   observability invariants.
+
+The new default endpoint is:
+
+```text
+https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+```
+
+The implementation may proceed against fictional fixtures and a controlled APS test
+account before APS confirms Fastly/edge-originated production support. Lack of that
+confirmation is a rollout gate, not an implementation blocker.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Approved decisions
+
+| Decision                  | Resolution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Edge/server support       | Implement and test now; do not claim production support until APS confirms it for the account.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| APS SDK identity          | Send `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"`, which APS has approved as the starting identity. Match the current adapter version with `ext.sdk.version = "2.2.0"`.                                                                                                                                   |
+| Creative response payload | Send an exact allowlisted envelope containing one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently fall back to the full response.                                                                                |
+| Sandbox compatibility     | APS confirmed `allow-same-origin` compatibility, but Trusted Server must not grant it on the outer security boundary. The outer renderer iframe has an opaque origin; descendant APS frames cannot relax an ancestor sandbox restriction. `script` remains disabled until browser proof. |
+| APS notifications         | Do not expose or fire APS `nurl`/`burl` in this issue. The fixed APS runner owns creative tracking until APS approves a separate notification contract.                                                                                                                                  |
+| APS user sync             | Out of scope. Do not expose or execute `ext.userSyncs`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| Migration                 | Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` only as a configuration alias; do not retain a legacy/OpenRTB protocol switch.                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| Native APS coexistence    | When a Trusted Server APS renderer descriptor is present, Trusted Server must not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The test cohort must disable native APS demand to avoid duplicate participation.                                                                                       |

+
+## 3. Primary upstream evidence
+
+The design follows immutable official APS/Prebid sources:
+
+- [APS endpoint and adapter version](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L16-L21)
+- [OpenRTB request enrichment and privacy filtering](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L118-L187)
+- [Request dispatch](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L247-L265)
+- [Creative construction](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L279-L313)
+- [Purpose-1-gated user sync behavior](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L322-L345)
+- [Official APS adapter documentation and capability metadata](https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/blob/adc4af1425c3433c81ee85560519cab0f7d17887/dev-docs/aps.md)
+
+The capability metadata says `pbjs: true` and `pbs: false`. The public source proves
+browser Prebid behavior; it does not by itself establish an approved production
+server-to-server contract for Fastly or another edge runtime.
+
+The immutable adapter test fixture is not a renderer contract: it accepts a banner bid
+whose extension contains only `bidder`, then verifies that the adapter builds the
+script wrapper. The unversioned live `prebid-creative.js` observed on 2026-07-15
+(SHA-256 `ac99774f4d0f6b34aed7584952661007125345b7433970edd832e8451f9a6aef`)
+requires `bid.id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. This
+live-runner observation is intentionally treated as unverified behavior: the official
+fixture must safe-drop in Trusted Server, while controlled-account responses provide
+the separate renderer-compatible test path.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current-state problems
+
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs` currently:
+
+- POSTs a private `pubId`/`slots`/`pageUrl` payload to `/e/dtb/bid`;
+- requires per-slot `bidders.aps.slotID` or falls back to the incoming slot ID;
+- parses `contextual.slots` rather than OpenRTB `seatbid`;
+- stores encoded `amznbid`/`amznp` values in metadata;
+- sets `Bid.price = None` and `Bid.creative = None`; and
+- therefore cannot produce a direct no-mediator winner or a normal creative.
+
+The generic winner selector intentionally ignores price-less bids. The publisher bid
+map also starts from `bid.price`, so the current behavior is internally consistent but
+cannot satisfy #764.
+
+The existing Prebid provider has a mature OpenRTB builder, but that builder also owns
+PBS-specific bidder params, stored requests, request signing, debug behavior,
+`ext.prebid`, and consent-forwarding policy. Reusing it wholesale would couple APS to
+PBS and increase regression risk.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scope and non-goals
+
+### 5.1 In scope
+
+- APS banner OpenRTB request construction.
+- APS OpenRTB response/no-bid parsing.
+- Decoded-price direct winner selection.
+- A typed APS renderer descriptor.
+- APS creative rendering in both:
+  - direct `POST /auction` TSJS rendering; and
+  - publisher navigation/page-bids through the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge.
+- Safe aggregate diagnostics.
+- Configuration and documentation migration.
+- Controlled APS account/browser testing for `iframe` and `script` tag types.
+
+### 5.2 Out of scope
+
+- APS video/VAST support. Although the upstream adapter advertises video, this issue
+  enables banner only until Trusted Server has a designed video delivery path.
+- APS `ext.userSyncs` execution or exposure.
+- A generic third-party renderer framework for arbitrary providers.
+- Refactoring the entire Prebid OpenRTB builder.
+- Retaining the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` request/parser behind a runtime switch.
+- Server-side creative URL fetching or caching.
+- Changes to the global HTML sanitizer's allowed elements or attributes.
+- Production support claims before APS account-team confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Configuration contract and cutover
+
+The canonical configuration becomes:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.aps]
+enabled = false
+account_id = "example-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
+timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
+```
+
+### 6.1 Compatibility
+
+- Rename `pub_id` to `account_id` in the Rust type, example configuration, and docs.
+- Accept `pub_id` as a serde alias for `account_id` for existing operator configs.
+- Continue accepting a string or integer value during migration. Trim strings, reject
+  empty-after-trim values, and normalize integers to strings.
+- If both names are supplied, deserialization must fail as a duplicate field rather
+  than silently selecting one.
+- Keep `endpoint` as an operator-owned test/override setting, but require HTTPS with a
+  non-empty host and no URL credentials. Its configured endpoint must implement this
+  OpenRTB contract; it is not a legacy-protocol switch. There is no plaintext test
+  exception because the APS response is trusted to select an executable renderer.
+- APS remains disabled by default.
+- `allow_script_creatives` is a separate server-side capability gate and defaults to
+  `false`. It may be set to `true` only for an isolated test cohort after the
+  restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin Playwright proof passes, and may remain enabled for
+  production only after controlled-account `tagtype=script` validation.
+
+### 6.2 Slot configuration
+
+The OpenRTB impression ID is the Trusted Server slot ID. APS's official adapter has no
+per-impression bidder parameters, so the provider no longer reads
+`bidders.aps.slotID`. Existing generic creative-opportunity configuration may continue
+to deserialize that value during migration, but APS documentation must mark it unused
+and remove it from new examples.
+
+---
+
+## 7. APS OpenRTB request design
+
+### 7.1 Builder boundary
+
+Implement an APS-specific builder in `integrations/aps.rs` using the generated types
+re-exported by `openrtb.rs`.
+
+Do not make `PrebidAuctionProvider::to_openrtb` public. Initially duplicate the small
+common mappings so APS policy remains explicit. A provider-neutral helper may be
+extracted later only when tests prove byte-for-byte parity for the fields it owns.
+
+### 7.2 Request shape
+
+For each eligible slot, emit one `imp`:
+
+- `imp.id = slot.id`;
+- banner-only `banner.format` entries for valid dimensions;
+- first valid format in `banner.w`/`banner.h` for APS compatibility;
+- `bidfloor` and `bidfloorcur = "USD"` when a floor exists;
+- `banner.topframe = 0`, matching the official framed-delivery fixture;
+- `secure = 1` unconditionally because APS creative delivery is HTTPS-only; and
+- no `imp.ext.prebid`, stored request, or bidder-parameter extension.
+
+At request level emit:
+
+- `id = AuctionRequest.id`;
+- `tmax = context.timeout_ms`, the same effective budget enforced by the backend;
+- `cur = ["USD"]`;
+- `site.domain`, `site.page`, publisher data, and a valid referrer when known;
+- consent-allowed `user.id` and already-gated EIDs;
+- trusted device UA and client IP;
+- coarse device geo with latitude and longitude explicitly omitted;
+- valid `Accept-Language` and DNT signals from the downstream request;
+- TCF, USP, GPP, and GPP SID signals in their existing Trusted Server OpenRTB
+  placements. COPPA remains omitted because Trusted Server has no trusted COPPA signal
+  source in this issue; and
+- APS request extension:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "account": "example-account-id",
+    "sdk": {
+      "source": "prebid",
+      "version": "2.2.0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Page and referrer provenance
+
+- Publisher navigation and page-bids continue using the server-derived scheme, host,
+  and matched request path.
+- `POST /auction` should use a valid same-publisher `Referer` URL as the current page
+  instead of always reducing the page to `https://<configured-domain>`; otherwise it
+  falls back to the configured publisher origin.
+- A candidate URL must use HTTP(S), have no userinfo, be length-bounded, and match the
+  configured publisher host before it can become `site.page`.
+- `site.ref` is emitted only when a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` differs from the
+  normalized current page. If the endpoint request's `Referer` is simply the current
+  page, omit `site.ref` rather than mislabeling it as the document's prior referrer.
+- Do not add an unrestricted client-provided URL or copy arbitrary headers.
+
+### 7.4 Privacy rules
+
+The provider consumes the privacy-filtered `AuctionRequest`; it does not independently
+weaken endpoint decisions.
+
+- Existing auction consent denial still returns before contacting APS.
+- APS only receives `request.user.eids`, which endpoint code has already gated.
+- Do not serialize `user.data`, `user.keywords`, `user.gender`, `yob`, `customdata`, or
+  arbitrary context into APS.
+- Remove precise `device.geo.lat` and `device.geo.lon` even if available.
+- Do not forward browser cookies or arbitrary X-\* headers to APS.
+- Request and response payloads may be logged only at TRACE.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Response validation and unified bid mapping
+
+Parse the response envelope as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields,
+and deserialize or validate each `seatbid[].bid[]` independently. This preserves valid
+siblings when one bid has a wrong field type while retaining extension maps needed for
+APS creative metadata. Syntactically invalid JSON still fails the whole response.
+
+### 8.1 Response-level validation
+
+- HTTP `204 No Content` is a normal APS no-bid and returns before body collection or
+  JSON parsing.
+- Other non-success HTTP statuses produce provider `Error` without reflecting the body.
+- Body collection remains capped by `UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES`.
+- Invalid JSON, including a non-representable numeric literal such as an overflowing
+  exponent under the repository's default `serde_json` configuration, or a legacy
+  `contextual` envelope is an error with safe reason `unexpected_response_shape`.
+- Empty/missing `seatbid`, or seat bids containing no bids, is a normal no-bid.
+- Currency must be absent or case-insensitive USD. A non-USD response is dropped
+  because Trusted Server has no currency conversion before winner comparison.
+- Top-level `ext.userSyncs` is ignored and must not enter diagnostics or renderer data.
+
+### 8.2 Bid-level validation
+
+A bid is eligible only when:
+
+- `impid` matches a slot in the request;
+- `price` is finite and non-negative;
+- `mtype` is absent or banner-compatible;
+- `w` and `h` are both present, non-zero, safely convert to `u32`, and are compatible
+  with the requested slot; and
+- it has APS `ext.creativeurl` plus a usable bid ID and an eligible `ext.tagtype`:
+  `iframe` is eligible, while `script` is eligible only when the server-side
+  `allow_script_creatives` capability is enabled. This check happens before candidate
+  reduction and winner selection, so a disabled or otherwise unrenderable script bid
+  cannot win and blank the slot.
+
+An APS `adm` without a valid renderer descriptor is not independently renderable in the
+normal publisher flow and must therefore be dropped. If APS supplies `adm` alongside a
+valid descriptor, remove all markup from the minimized envelope and do not copy it into
+`Bid.creative`. If controlled testing proves markup is required, stop for a separate
+security review rather than forwarding it unsanitized.
+
+`creativeurl` must be an HTTPS URL without userinfo, must not match the configured
+publisher origin, and must stay within a bounded serialized length. Validate the same
+rules again in the browser. It comes only from the HTTPS APS endpoint response, never
+from the client. Unknown tag types and recognized-but-disabled `script` bids are dropped rather than
+passed through.
+
+The pinned official adapter response fixture lacks `creativeurl` and `tagtype`; Trusted
+Server must include that fixture as an expected safe-drop test. A separate fictional
+fixture models the live runner's required extension fields. Controlled APS-account
+validation of both observed tag types remains a rollout prerequisite.
+
+### 8.3 Unified fields and APS candidate reduction
+
+Extend `Bid` with generic identifiers and a typed optional renderer:
+
+```text
+bid_id       <- OpenRTB bid.id
+ad_id        <- OpenRTB bid.adid
+creative_id  <- optional OpenRTB bid.crid
+renderer     <- typed APS renderer descriptor for every accepted APS bid
+```
+
+Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"` unconditionally. Upstream `seat` and `ext.bidder` are APS
+network metadata, not the adapter identity; normalize them only into bounded internal
+fields if an operational consumer is identified, otherwise discard them. Missing,
+numeric, or unexpected seat values do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid and never
+become `hb_bidder`.
+
+Map decoded price, currency, `impid`, dimensions, and `adomain`. Do not map APS `nurl`
+or `burl` in this issue; the vendor runner owns APS creative tracking until a separate
+notification policy is approved.
+
+Before returning `AuctionResponse`, collapse multiple valid APS candidates for the same
+impression to one candidate: highest decoded price wins, with lexicographically lowest
+bid ID as a deterministic tie-break. This produces the same APS result as direct
+winner selection and prevents the current mediator's `(provider, slot, bidder)`
+last-write-wins index from attaching another APS bid's renderer. The mediator still
+restores `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and `renderer` for that single APS candidate.
+A two-bids/same-slot/same-seat test is mandatory.
+
+### 8.4 Diagnostics
+
+`AuctionResponse.metadata` may contain only bounded aggregate fields, for example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid_count": 1,
+  "accepted_bid_count": 1,
+  "dropped_bid_count": 0,
+  "drop_reasons": {}
+}
+```
+
+Allowed reason keys are fixed enums such as:
+
+- `empty_seatbid`;
+- `unknown_impid`;
+- `invalid_price`;
+- `unsupported_currency`;
+- `unsupported_media_type`;
+- `invalid_dimensions`;
+- `missing_render_source`;
+- `unsupported_tagtype`;
+- `script_rendering_disabled`;
+- `invalid_creative_url`;
+- `render_payload_too_large`; and
+- `unexpected_response_shape`.
+
+Do not include account IDs, bid IDs, URLs, tokens, consent strings, raw extensions, or
+raw bodies in INFO/WARN diagnostics or client-facing provider summaries.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Exact APS renderer response envelope
+
+The official adapter gives `prebid-creative.js` the base64-encoded complete response
+and selected bid ID. Trusted Server instead sends an exact allowlisted envelope based
+on the fields required by the live runner observed on 2026-07-15:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid": [
+    {
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The allowlist is exact:
+
+- root: `seatbid` only;
+- selected seat object: `bid` only;
+- selected bid: `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext` only; and
+- selected bid extension: `creativeurl` and `tagtype` only.
+
+Do not include top-level ID/currency/extensions, upstream seat, `impid`, `adid`, `crid`,
+`adomain`, notifications, markup, native data, user syncs, unknown extensions, sibling
+bids, or losing seats. Unknown fields may exist transiently while the server validates
+an upstream bid, but they are discarded before renderer construction.
+
+Serialize the allowlisted object once, enforce a 256 KiB pre-base64 maximum, then
+base64 encode with the standard alphabet. Store it in the typed renderer descriptor,
+not general metadata. If the envelope exceeds the cap, drop the bid as non-renderable.
+If controlled APS testing proves the exact envelope insufficient, stop and review the
+specific missing field with APS; do not widen it or fall back to the full response
+automatically.
+
+A single fictional golden fixture under the TSJS test fixtures is the source of truth:
+Rust serialization must equal it, and TypeScript parsing/validation/render-dispatch
+tests must consume that same file.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Renderer descriptor and browser wire formats
+
+### 10.1 Typed descriptor
+
+The Rust and TypeScript contracts represent the same versioned data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "aps",
+  "version": 1,
+  "accountId": "example-account-id",
+  "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "tagType": "iframe",
+  "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+  "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+  "width": 300,
+  "height": 250
+}
+```
+
+Only `iframe` and `script` are valid tag-type values. `creativeId` is optional and is
+omitted when APS does not return `crid`; the live runner does not consume it. Version
+mismatch is fail-closed. The APS account identifier is not a secret, but it must still
+be safely serialized and must never be hardcoded from a real account in repository
+fixtures.
+
+### 10.2 `POST /auction`
+
+For APS renderer bids, the OpenRTB response bid contains the complete descriptor:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "impid": "fictional-slot",
+  "price": 1.23,
+  "crid": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "w": 300,
+  "h": 250,
+  "ext": {
+    "trusted_server": {
+      "renderer": {
+        "type": "aps",
+        "version": 1,
+        "accountId": "example-account-id",
+        "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+        "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+        "tagType": "iframe",
+        "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+        "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+        "width": 300,
+        "height": 250
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`creativeId`/`crid` are omitted together when APS does not return `crid`. `adm` is
+omitted, not serialized as an empty string. Ordinary non-APS `adm` behavior is
+unchanged.
+
+### 10.3 Publisher navigation and page-bids
+
+`build_bid_map` adds the same complete descriptor as a normal, non-debug `renderer`
+property for APS winners:
+
+```json
+{
+  "fictional-slot": {
+    "hb_pb": "1.23",
+    "hb_bidder": "aps",
+    "hb_adid": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+    "renderer": {
+      "type": "aps",
+      "version": 1,
+      "accountId": "example-account-id",
+      "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+      "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+      "tagType": "iframe",
+      "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+      "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+      "width": 300,
+      "height": 250
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`hb_adid` priority becomes:
+
+1. PBS Cache UUID for cached Prebid bids;
+2. APS renderer selected bid ID;
+3. existing OpenRTB `adid` fallback.
+
+The complete renderer object is emitted only for the winning bid. It is not gated by
+`debug.inject_adm_for_testing`, and general bid metadata remains debug-only.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Browser rendering design
+
+### 11.1 Static renderer endpoint
+
+Do not put the APS initializer and runner into publisher-origin `srcdoc`. Register APS
+as a proxy-capable integration (without an automatic JS bundle) and serve a static
+renderer document at:
+
+```text
+GET /integrations/aps/renderer
+```
+
+The document contains only static Trusted Server initialization code and the fixed
+`https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js` script. Before loading the
+vendor runner, the static initializer reads a strictly encoded, cryptographically
+random per-frame nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it as the expected nonce,
+and removes the fragment from visible history. The fragment is not sent in the HTTP
+request. It then receives one versioned renderer descriptor from its embedding parent
+through `postMessage`, verifies `event.source === parent`, and requires the message
+nonce to equal the independently established expected nonce. After the first accepted
+message it removes the listener, initializes the account-keyed APS queue, dispatches
+`CustomEvent("prebid/creative/render", { detail: { aaxResponse, seatBidId } })`, and only
+then dynamically inserts the fixed runner script. On runner load or failure it sends a
+source-bound response carrying the accepted nonce. Because the sandboxed document has
+an opaque origin, both directions use `"*"` as the `postMessage` target origin and rely
+on the exact child/parent window, source checks, one-time fragment-bound nonce, and full
+descriptor validation.
+
+The descriptor is data, never generated script text. No APS-provided HTML, script text,
+URL, account value, or decoded JSON is concatenated into an executable context. The
+vendor runner URL is a compile-time constant. The response carries
+`Content-Type: text/html`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
+`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and a CSP `sandbox` directive containing the
+approved tokens without `allow-same-origin`. The response-level sandbox preserves the
+opaque boundary even if another embedding path omits its iframe sandbox attribute.
+
+### 11.2 Opaque outer sandbox
+
+Both direct and GPT flows load the static endpoint through `iframe.src`, not `srcdoc`,
+with this outer sandbox:
+
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+The outer boundary deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`. The live APS runner grants
+`allow-same-origin` to the nested frame it creates, but a descendant cannot relax an
+ancestor sandbox's origin restriction. Therefore both `iframe` and fetched-HTML
+`script` creatives remain under the outer opaque-origin boundary rather than inheriting
+the publisher origin.
+
+This is a compatibility hypothesis, not an assumption: the current runner also touches
+`frameElement` while resizing. `tagtype=script` is rejected server-side before winner
+selection while `allow_script_creatives` is false. The capability may be enabled for an
+isolated test cohort only after a real-browser test proves that the fixed runner renders
+and resizes correctly without publisher-origin access, and may be enabled beyond that
+cohort only after controlled-account validation. If either test fails, keep the gate
+off and obtain an APS-supported isolated renderer page/origin; do not add
+`allow-same-origin` back to the outer boundary.
+
+### 11.3 Browser validation of consumed data
+
+Before creating or messaging the renderer iframe, TSJS must decode `aaxResponse` and
+validate the exact envelope consumed by the vendor runner:
+
+- root contains only one `seatbid` entry;
+- that entry contains only one `bid`;
+- the bid has exactly `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`;
+- `ext` has exactly `creativeurl` and `tagtype`;
+- bid ID, dimensions, creative URL, and tag type equal the duplicated descriptor fields;
+- price is finite and non-negative;
+- tag type is `iframe`, or `script` from a response the server emitted only after its
+  default-off `allow_script_creatives` eligibility gate;
+- creative URL is bounded HTTPS without credentials and does not match the publisher
+  origin; and
+- no markup, notifications, syncs, or unknown fields are present.
+
+Validation happens before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation()`, iframe creation,
+or message dispatch. The static renderer document repeats the structural/message
+validation as defense in depth.
+
+### 11.4 Direct `/auction` flow
+
+`parseAuctionResponse` accepts either ordinary sanitized `adm` or a structurally typed
+renderer. The request loop performs the full decoded-envelope validation, dispatches a
+valid APS descriptor to `renderApsCreative`, and sends ordinary markup to
+`renderCreativeInline`.
+
+`renderApsCreative` generates at least 128 bits of randomness with
+`crypto.getRandomValues`, base64url-encodes it, and binds it to the static renderer URL
+as a fragment before assigning `iframe.src`. After load, it posts the validated
+descriptor with the same nonce, then waits for an exact source- and nonce-bound runner
+ready acknowledgement before clearing existing content or showing the frame. A runner
+failure or bounded acknowledgement timeout removes the hidden frame. A malformed
+descriptor, malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, replay, stale message, or runner load
+failure leaves existing slot content intact and emits a safe warning.
+
+### 11.5 GPT/page-bids flow
+
+Extend `installTsRenderBridge` while retaining the existing `Prebid Request` parsing and
+source-slot ownership validation. For a valid APS winner, return the exact serializable
+Prebid Universal Creative dynamic-renderer shape, including the supported renderer
+version. The static Trusted Server renderer source may only create the opaque outer
+iframe, load `/integrations/aps/renderer`, post the already validated descriptor, and
+resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound ready acknowledgement; APS or bidder code
+never executes in the Universal Creative renderer frame itself.
+Fixture-test this message against the deployed Universal Creative protocol rather than
+assuming a function can be structured-cloned. Include a trusted absolute
+`rendererUrl`, computed from the publisher page origin by TSJS, because a relative URL
+inside the GAM creative would resolve against the GAM origin. The dynamic renderer
+must accept only that data field and the validated APS descriptor.
+
+Call `stopImmediatePropagation()` only after ownership and complete envelope validation
+succeed. Preserve in-flight render deduplication, but do not invoke the generic
+win/billing beacon path for APS. Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache branches remain
+unchanged.
+
+When the winning bid has a Trusted Server APS renderer, do not call
+`apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The native APS SDK may remain installed by the CMS for other
+cohorts, but it is not the renderer or bid source for that TS winner.
+
+### 11.6 CSP and real-browser gate
+
+Because the outer frame navigates to a real response, it uses that response's CSP
+instead of inheriting publisher `srcdoc` CSP. The renderer endpoint starts from this
+explicit ad-compatible policy, tightened if controlled testing permits:
+
+```text
+default-src 'none';
+script-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+connect-src https:;
+frame-src https:;
+img-src https: data:;
+media-src https: blob:;
+style-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+font-src https: data:;
+```
+
+The publisher must permit `frame-src 'self'` for the direct renderer endpoint. The GAM
+Universal Creative context must also permit framing the absolute publisher renderer
+URL. The broad HTTPS resource allowances apply only inside the opaque sandbox and are
+required because the APS runner and bidder HTML may load arbitrary HTTPS ad resources.
+
+Add a Playwright test under `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser` with a
+restrictive publisher CSP. It must prove the renderer endpoint loads, APS initializes,
+both tag types obey the outer opaque-origin boundary, a fictional script creative
+cannot access `top.document`, and malformed descriptors do not clear the slot. The server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate stays false during normal winner
+selection until this test passes. It may then be enabled only for the controlled test
+cohort needed to validate real rendering and remains false elsewhere until that
+validation also passes.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Sanitization and security invariants
+
+- `sanitize_creative_html` remains mandatory for every ordinary
+  `Bid.creative`/`adm` value.
+- Its element, attribute, URI, size, and fail-closed rules do not change.
+- APS executable rendering is a separate typed capability; it is never disguised as
+  sanitized `adm`.
+- Only a server-validated APS descriptor with an exact browser-validated envelope can
+  select that capability.
+- Unknown providers cannot request the APS renderer through arbitrary metadata.
+- The server never fetches `creativeurl`, avoiding an SSRF/redirect/content-type
+  service in the auction path.
+- Server and browser both require a bounded HTTPS creative URL without credentials and
+  reject the publisher origin.
+- APS/bidder execution occurs only below an outer opaque-origin sandbox. No test may
+  treat absence of `innerHTML` alone as proof; cover `srcdoc`, script text,
+  `document.write`, and message-driven sinks.
+- Existing same-origin/no-CORS-preflight protection for page-bids remains unchanged.
+- Per-user injected HTML stays private/non-shared, and page-bids stays no-store.
+- Existing upstream body caps and auction deadlines remain in force.
+
+---
+
+## 13. APS notification policy
+
+Do not map APS `nurl` or `burl` into the shared browser bid map in this issue. The live
+APS runner owns creative tracking, the official fixture does not establish that Trusted
+Server should fire OpenRTB notifications, and the direct `/auction` path has no matching
+notification lifecycle.
+
+This also prevents an APS-controlled URL from causing a credentialed same-origin POST
+through the current generic `sendBeacon`/fetch helper. If APS later requires Trusted
+Server notification delivery, design it separately with one explicit owner, bounded
+HTTPS URLs, publisher-origin rejection, omitted credentials, no referrer, macro policy,
+and equivalent direct/GPT tests. Existing non-APS notification behavior is unchanged by
+#764.
+
+---
+
+## 14. User sync policy
+
+APS user sync is explicitly out of scope:
+
+- ignore `BidResponse.ext.userSyncs`;
+- do not put sync URLs into `AuctionResponse.metadata`;
+- do not include them in the minimized renderer envelope;
+- do not fetch them at the edge; and
+- do not add image/iframe sync behavior to TSJS.
+
+A future implementation requires a separate spec covering Purpose 1, regional policy,
+URL allowlisting, deduplication, browser timing, and observability.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Logging and telemetry
+
+- Request/response bodies: TRACE only.
+- Routine request log: provider and eligible slot count, without account ID.
+- Routine response log: status, elapsed time, accepted count, and bounded dropped
+  count.
+- WARN: static condition plus slot/request-safe context; never include response body,
+  creative URL, bid token, EID, consent string, or account ID.
+- Client-facing provider summaries: aggregate reason keys/counts only.
+- Existing auction telemetry receives decoded price, currency, ad domain, and ad ID.
+  It must not receive the encoded renderer envelope.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Rollout and rollback
+
+### 16.1 Controlled rollout
+
+1. Implement server parsing and exact fictional fixtures with APS disabled and
+   `allow_script_creatives = false` by default.
+2. Prove disabled script bids are dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+3. Pass the restrictive-CSP Playwright and opaque-origin access tests using the local
+   fictional script runner while the server gate remains false for normal traffic.
+4. Configure a controlled APS test account out of band.
+5. Enable Trusted Server APS only for a test cohort, disable native APS demand there,
+   and temporarily set `allow_script_creatives = true` only for that isolated cohort.
+6. Verify the official fixture safe-drops and a real account returns the unverified
+   `creativeurl`/`tagtype` contract.
+7. Verify both observed tag types through direct and GPT paths. If script cannot operate
+   below the opaque outer sandbox, set the gate false again and stop.
+8. Confirm the exact allowlisted envelope works with `prebid-creative.js`.
+9. Confirm GAM line items and the Universal Creative route request `hb_bidder=aps` and
+   the selected `hb_adid`.
+10. Obtain APS confirmation for Fastly/edge-originated production traffic before broad
+    rollout.
+
+### 16.2 Rollback
+
+- Immediate traffic rollback: set `[integrations.aps].enabled = false`.
+- Restore native APS participation for the affected cohort if required.
+- Binary rollback remains available if the old provider must temporarily be restored.
+- The new code does not retain a dormant legacy parser or protocol switch.

+
+## 18. Acceptance criteria
+
+1. APS receives the specified OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot with
+   `topframe=0` and `secure=1`.
+2. Request fixtures prove trimmed account/SDK/USD, floors, trusted page/device context,
+   consent/EIDs, existing privacy registrations, and omission of precise coordinates
+   and unsupported COPPA claims.
+3. HTTP 204 and empty `seatbid` are no-bids; malformed/legacy responses are safely
+   diagnosed.
+4. The official no-renderer fixture safe-drops; every accepted APS bid has present,
+   valid `w`/`h` and the unverified-but-validated URL/tag-type renderer contract.
+5. `Bid.bidder`/`hb_bidder` are always `aps`, independent of upstream seat.
+6. Multiple APS bids for one impression reduce deterministically to one candidate, and
+   mediation cannot restore another candidate's renderer.
+7. APS can win without a mediator and is rejected normally below the floor.
+8. The browser envelope contains exactly the allowlisted fields and matches the full
+   descriptor; Rust and TypeScript share one golden fixture.
+9. The outer renderer iframe has no `allow-same-origin`; descendant iframe/script
+   creatives cannot access publisher DOM in the restrictive-CSP Playwright test.
+10. `allow_script_creatives` defaults false; while false, script bids are dropped before
+    candidate reduction and cannot win. It is enabled only under the staged browser and
+    controlled-account policy; otherwise script remains fail-closed.
+11. The renderer binds a one-time nonce through the iframe URL fragment before
+    messaging and rejects malformed, mismatched, replayed, or stale messages before
+    clearing content or stopping another renderer handler.
+12. Ordinary non-APS `adm` sanitization and PBS Cache rendering remain unchanged.
+13. APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` browser delivery remain absent.
+14. Native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for a TS APS renderer winner.
+15. Raw request/response bodies remain TRACE-only.
+16. All repository CI, adapter, JS, browser, parity, and docs-format gates pass.

+| Official fixture and live runner disagree on creative extension fields | Safe-drop the official fixture, pin the observed runner hash/date as evidence only, and require controlled-account validation.                                              |
+| Exact envelope may omit a field used by a future runner                | Stop and review with APS; never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response automatically.                                                                    |
+| Fixed unversioned vendor script can change independently               | Monitor the real-browser contract and require review before changing URL, envelope, CSP, or sandbox behavior.                                                               |
+| Runner may fail without outer `allow-same-origin`                      | Keep the server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate false unless the opaque-boundary Playwright and controlled-account tests pass; never restore publisher-origin execution. |
+| Broad ad-compatible CSP permits arbitrary HTTPS resources              | Scope it to the opaque renderer document; publisher CSP only needs to frame the same-origin renderer endpoint.                                                              |
+| Existing native APS and TS APS can duplicate demand                    | Cohort-gate and disable native APS participation wherever TS APS is enabled.                                                                                                |
+| APS notifications may be required for billing                          | Do not guess; vendor runner owns tracking until APS approves a separately secured notification contract.                                                                    |

 - **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
+- Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

+Set `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` together only when the public deployment hostname differs from the inventory identity authorized by APS. The domain becomes `site.domain`. The HTTPS page origin replaces the current page's scheme and host while preserving its path and query. The origin must be the inventory domain or one of its subdomains and cannot include credentials, a port, path, query, or fragment. These values come only from operator configuration; Trusted Server never accepts APS inventory identity from the client auction payload.

 APS uses ordinary auction slot IDs and banner formats. Legacy creative-opportunity APS `slot_id` configuration is accepted for compatibility but ignored, and `bidders.aps.slotID` is not required. Remove both during migration.

 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.
+- Preserved APS renderer capabilities through the client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, allowing its generated `hb_adid` to render through GAM and Prebid Universal Creative instead of producing an empty creative.

 ### Added
 
+- Added opt-in APS HTTP debug metadata for controlled test sites, exposing the direct request and response under `/auction` provider metadata using the Prebid Server `debug.httpcalls` shape.
 - Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)

+## Debug mode
+
+Set `debug = true` under `[integrations.aps]` to include the direct APS HTTP exchange in the APS provider summary returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "debug": {
+      "httpcalls": {
+        "aps": [
+          {

+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This follows the Prebid Server `metadata.debug.httpcalls` representation. APS makes one direct HTTP call per auction, so the map uses the provider key `aps` with one entry. Request and captured response bodies are strings, and header values are arrays so repeated headers are preserved. If a non-success response body cannot be read within the existing 2 MiB upstream limit, `responsebody` is omitted rather than reported as an empty body. APS does not add PBS-only `resolvedrequest` or `bidstatus` fields.
+
+The debug exchange is emitted for successful responses, `204 No Content`, malformed response bodies, and non-success HTTP statuses. Transport failures and auction timeouts happen before an HTTP response reaches the parser and continue to use the orchestrator's normal error metadata.

 ### Changed
 
-- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout. APS renderer winners now preserve the upstream bid `id`, omit `crid` when APS omits it, and carry `ext.trusted_server.renderer` instead of `adm`; external `/auction` consumers must support this response shape.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

 ### APS (Amazon)
-- Returns bids for all slots
-- Default mock price: $2.50 CPM
-- Always returns 2 bids
-- Response time: ~80ms (simulated)
+- Sends real OpenRTB requests for eligible banner slots
+- Safely drops malformed, unsupported, or unrenderable bids and reports aggregate reasons
+- Reduces multiple APS candidates to one winner per impression
+- Returns typed renderer descriptors rather than exposing `adm` outside the sandbox
+- Automated tests intercept upstream traffic and use fictional response fixtures
 
 ### AdServer Mock
 - Acts as mediator by calling mocktioneer's mediation endpoint

Subject: [PATCH 143/494] Guard deferred adInit with a navigation generation
 and make it testable

Address PR #945 review findings:

- Replace the URL-equality stale-route guard with a monotonic navigation
  generation (tsjs.navGeneration) maintained synchronously by the SPA
  auction hook. URL equality diverged from the hook's pathname-only route
  identity: a query-only replaceState before load cancelled the initial
  adInit entirely, and an /a -> /b -> /a round trip defeated the guard and
  double-ran adInit against the round-tripped route's live slots.

- Move the deferral bootstrap (window load, double requestAnimationFrame,
  stale-navigation cancellation) from the Rust-emitted inline script into
  the GPT bundle module as tsjs.scheduleInitialAdInit, where the lifecycle
  is executable under Vitest and the navigation generation is shared with
  the SPA hook. The </body> bids script now only assigns tsjs.bids and
  delegates to the scheduler; the GPT module ships in the synchronous head
  bundle, so it has always run by the time the inline script executes.

- Add executable lifecycle coverage (schedule_initial_ad_init.test.ts):
  load plus two-frame ordering, already-complete documents, exactly-once
  invocation across duplicate load events, query-only history changes,
  /a -> /b -> /a cancellation, and a publisher-displayed slot receiving
  setTargeting before the refresh that delivers it. The Rust tests now pin
  only the inline script's delegation and XSS safety.

Subject: [PATCH 144/494] Honor the cache-bypass contract in the Cloudflare
 HTTP client

CloudflareHttpClient::execute built its worker::RequestInit without ever
reading PlatformHttpRequest::bypass_cache, so an ad-stack-eligible
navigation could still be served from Cloudflare's subrequest cache
instead of a complete origin body.

Map the flag to the Workers runtime's no-store cache mode. The mapping
goes through a target-independent OutboundCacheMode enum, gated the same
way as reject_multi_provider_fanout, because the worker crate is a
wasm32-only dependency and the native test binary cannot name
worker::CacheMode.

Subject: [PATCH 145/494] Cover the page-bids trace cache policy on both
 endpoint paths

trace_payload_request gates whether an ad-trace response is marked
private and non-storeable. It named the endpoint with a string literal,
so renaming the route to /_ts/page-bids desynced it silently: the
comparison still matched only the old path, still compiled, and a
response carrying per-user trace data lost its private, no-store
marking.

The literal was already replaced with PAGE_BIDS_PATH and
PAGE_BIDS_LEGACY_PATH when the rename merged. Add the regression test
that was missing, asserting the cache policy on the canonical path and
the deprecated alias together so a future rename cannot reintroduce the
gap for either one.

Subject: [PATCH 149/494] Add GPT runtime diagnostics overlay

Give publisher operators an opt-in, tab-local view of GPT-observed slot lifecycles and exact DOM bindings without changing auction or publisher behavior. Keep capture bounded, export allowlisted facts only, and cover activation, correlation, presentation, and non-interference across unit and browser tests.

+### GPT Runtime Diagnostics
+
+**What it does:** Observes documented GPT lifecycle callbacks and presents directly observed slot, timing, coverage, binding, and visibility facts in a local browser console.
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- Explicit, tab-local `ts_console` activation
+- Initial and refresh request-cycle history
+- Conservative unmatched and ambiguous callback reporting
+- Exact DOM binding and non-layout-changing viewport badges
+- Versioned local JSON export with no diagnostic upload
+- No creative-provenance or auction attribution claims
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```toml
+[integrations.gpt_diagnostics]
+enabled = true
+```
+
+**Endpoints:** None. The feature observes GPT in the browser and makes no diagnostic network request.
+
+**When to use:** You need to debug GPT request, response, render, load, viewability, refresh, and slot-binding behavior without changing ad delivery.
+
+**Learn more:** [GPT Runtime Diagnostics](./integrations/gpt-diagnostics.md)
+

+
 ### Testlight
 
 **What it does:** Testing/development integration for validating the integration system with OpenRTB-like auctions.

+# GPT Runtime Diagnostics
+
+**Category**: Ad Serving
+
+**Status**: Development
+**Type**: Local browser diagnostics
+
+## Overview
+
+GPT Runtime Diagnostics is an opt-in browser console for documented Google Publisher Tag (GPT) lifecycle callbacks. It organizes observed callbacks into per-slot request cycles, displays directly observed timings and render facts, binds slots to exact DOM elements, and downloads the same information as versioned JSON.
+
+The console reports **GPT-observed facts, not creative provenance**. **Filled** means only that GPT emitted `slotRenderEnded` with `isEmpty === false`. It does not mean that Trusted Server, Prebid, Google Ad Manager, a particular bidder, or any other demand source supplied the creative.
+
+The diagnostics integration is independent of the [GPT first-party script integration](./gpt.md). Either integration can be enabled without the other.
+
+## Deployment Configuration
+
+The module is unavailable unless explicitly enabled for the deployment:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.gpt_diagnostics]
+enabled = true
+```
+
+Deployment configuration only makes the module available. Every browser tab remains inactive until explicitly activated.
+
+## Activate or Deactivate a Tab
+
+Open a page with one of these exact, case-sensitive query directives:
+
+| Directive          | Effect              |
+| ------------------ | ------------------- |
+| `ts_console=1`     | Activate this tab   |
+| `ts_console=true`  | Activate this tab   |
+| `ts_console=0`     | Deactivate this tab |
+| `ts_console=false` | Deactivate this tab |
+
+For example:
+
+```text
+https://publisher.example.com/article?ts_console=true
+```
+
+A recognized directive is stored in `sessionStorage` and removed from the visible URL. The path, other query parameters, and fragment are preserved. Activation follows full-page and SPA navigation in the same origin and tab. A separately opened tab starts inactive.
+
+If `sessionStorage` is unavailable, a recognized directive applies only to the current document. Unrecognized values are ignored and remain in the URL.
+
+## What the Console Shows
+
+The panel opens expanded after document startup and provides filters for All, Visible, Filled, Empty, Pending/Incomplete, and Unbound/Ambiguous slots.
+
+Each slot may show:
+
+- Exact GPT slot element ID and ad unit path.
+- Initial request and numbered refresh cycles.
+- Requesting, Response received, Filled, or Empty lifecycle state.
+- Loaded and Viewable augmentations when GPT emits those callbacks.
+- Incomplete sequence only when an observed event proves a missing or invalid earlier step.
+- Valid request-to-response, response-to-render, render-to-load, and render-to-viewable timings.
+- Rendered size, backfill, slot-content-change, and GPT visibility facts when exposed by GPT.
+- Current DOM binding status and viewport visibility.
+
+Elapsed time alone never changes a pending request to Incomplete. A filled render without a load callback remains Filled with **Load not observed**; missing viewability is not classified as a failure.
+
+### Callback Coverage
+
+Coverage is reported independently for each documented callback:
+
+```text
+observed = matched + unmatched + ambiguous
+```
+
+Unmatched callbacks have no compatible retained request cycle. Ambiguous callbacks have more than one compatible cycle, such as overlapping refreshes. The console preserves these issues instead of guessing. A uniquely correlated out-of-order callback remains matched and also records an `invalid_event_order` issue.
+
+Coverage describes callback correlation, not fill rate or revenue.
+
+### Slot Binding and Badges
+
+A binding is valid only when one connected DOM element has the exact GPT slot element ID and one retained GPT slot claims that ID. Prefixes, container IDs, and likely-looking elements are never guessed.
+
+A concise viewport badge appears only when a slot:
+
+- Has at least one observed request.
+- Has a unique, connected exact binding.
+- Has a non-zero rectangle intersecting the viewport.
+
+Missing elements and duplicate DOM or GPT slot IDs remain visible in the panel as Unbound or Ambiguous and receive no badge. Framework replacement of an element with a new unique element using the same ID is rebound automatically.
+
+Badges and the panel live in a closed Shadow DOM. Diagnostics do not add attributes, classes, or inline styles to publisher slot elements.
+
+## Presentation Lifecycle
+
+- **Collapse** reduces the panel while preserving capture.
+- **Close** dismisses the presentation for the current document.
+- External removal by hydration or DOM reconciliation triggers a debounced remount.
+- Explicit Close or `hide()` prevents remount until `show()` is called.
+- Capture continues while the panel is hidden.
+
+The visual host mounts only after the document is complete and two animation frames have elapsed. GPT callback capture can begin earlier.
+
+## Browser API
+
+When active, the integration exposes a read-only API:
+
+```js
+const diagnostics = window.tsjs.gptDiagnostics
+
+diagnostics.snapshot()
+diagnostics.export()
+const unsubscribe = diagnostics.subscribe((snapshot) => {
+  console.log(snapshot.version, snapshot.slots.length)
+})
+diagnostics.hide()
+diagnostics.show()
+unsubscribe()
+```
+
+| Method                | Semantics                                                                                            |
+| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `snapshot()`          | Returns a fresh V1 snapshot from current store and binding facts                                     |
+| `export()`            | Downloads the current V1 snapshot as local JSON; no upload occurs                                    |
+| `subscribe(listener)` | Delivers fresh snapshots after coalesced data or binding changes and returns an unsubscribe function |
+| `hide()`              | Dismisses presentation without stopping capture                                                      |
+| `show()`              | Clears dismissal and remounts presentation without resetting data                                    |
+
+## V1 Export
+
+The allowlisted export contains:
+
+- `version: 1` and an ISO `capturedAt` timestamp.
+- Current page origin and pathname, excluding query parameters and fragments.
+- Retained slots, binding facts, visibility, and request cycles.
+- Directly observed timestamps and render facts.
+- Non-negative derived durations only.
+- Callback issues and coverage counters.
+- Retention eviction counters.
+
+It does not contain auction payloads, targeting, bid values, bidder or winner identity, creative markup, cookies, user identifiers, query strings, or URL fragments.
+
+## Storage and Privacy
+
+Diagnostics data is memory-only and local to the current document. Nothing is automatically transmitted, and no diagnostics endpoint exists.
+
+Initial bounds are:
+
+- 64 retained GPT slot objects.
+- 10 retained request cycles per slot.
+- 128 retained callback issues.
+
+The oldest eligible record is evicted when a bound is exceeded. Export metadata reports `evictedSlots`, `evictedRequestCycles`, and `droppedCallbacks`.
+
+The integration does not use cookies, `localStorage`, IndexedDB, or server upload for diagnostic records. `sessionStorage` contains only the tab activation state.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### The API or panel is absent
+
+1. Confirm `[integrations.gpt_diagnostics]` is enabled in the deployed configuration.
+2. Activate the tab with an exact recognized `ts_console` value.
+3. Confirm the Trusted Server script bundle loaded successfully.
+4. Use `ts_console=false` and then `ts_console=true` on a new document to reset tab activation explicitly.
+
+### The panel says Waiting for GPT
+
+GPT was not observed after listener installation. Confirm GPT initializes and executes queued `googletag.cmd` callbacks. Diagnostics do not create GPT, poll for it, or patch publisher request behavior.
+
+### Initial callbacks are missing
+
+The integration can observe only callbacks emitted after its listeners execute. Confirm the Trusted Server bundle precedes publisher GPT request code. The console reports coverage gaps rather than reconstructing unobserved activity.
+
+### A slot is Unbound
+
+Confirm `slot.getSlotElementId()` returns a non-empty ID and a connected element with that exact ID exists. Lazy or framework-created elements can bind later without losing request history.
+
+### A slot has Ambiguous binding
+
+Remove duplicate DOM IDs or ensure only one retained GPT Slot object claims the ID. Diagnostics intentionally do not choose one candidate.
+
+### Callbacks are Ambiguous
+
+Overlapping requests for the same GPT Slot object cannot be correlated safely because documented callbacks do not expose a request-cycle identifier. Avoid overlap in controlled tests, or use the issue record as evidence that correlation was not possible.
+
+## Limits
+
+The integration observes six documented PubAdsService events. It does not intercept GPT display, slot definition, refresh, targeting, auction, network, history, or rendering methods. It cannot identify the demand source of a filled creative and should not be used as attribution evidence.

+# GPT Runtime Diagnostics Overlay — Implementation Plan
+
+> **Status:** Implemented — live publisher acceptance remains environment-specific.
+>
+> **For agentic workers:** Execute this plan incrementally and keep the repository
+> buildable after each task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+> Follow `CLAUDE.md`; in particular, use the target-matched Cargo aliases rather
+> than bare workspace commands.
+
+**Goal:** Add an opt-in, tab-local browser console that observes documented
+Google Publisher Tag lifecycle callbacks, organizes them into bounded per-slot
+request cycles, displays a hydration-safe panel and exact-binding badges, and
+exports the same GPT-observed facts without claiming creative provenance.
+
+**Architecture:** A dedicated `gpt_diagnostics` integration injects a small
+activation bootstrap before the synchronous TSJS bundle. The bootstrap owns only
+query parsing, `sessionStorage`, document-local activation, and one-time URL
+cleanup. When active, the integration module creates an observer, bounded store,
+exact binding manager, read-only browser API, and presentation controller. Data
+capture does not depend on the overlay. The observer uses only documented
+`googletag.cmd` and PubAdsService event listeners; it never patches GPT,
+publisher, networking, or history behavior.
+
+**Tech stack:** Rust 2024 (`trusted-server-core` integration registration and
+head injection), TypeScript (`trusted-server-js`), Vitest/jsdom, Playwright,
+closed Shadow DOM, documented GPT PubAdsService callbacks.
+
+**Spec:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-28-gpt-runtime-diagnostics-overlay-design.md`
+
+---
+
+## Approved Product and Data Decisions
+
+The implementation must preserve these resolved decisions from the spec:
+
+- The panel opens fully on first mount; the user can collapse it.
+- `adUnitPath` is exported whenever GPT exposes it, independent of panel state.
+- V1 uses badges only; click-to-highlight is deferred.
+- Overlapping cycles are exercised with a deterministic GPT event-bus stub.
+- Activation remains `ts_console`; deployment configuration is
+  `integrations.gpt_diagnostics`.
+- Matching disposition and sequence validity are separate. A uniquely matched,
+  out-of-order callback remains matched and also creates an
+  `invalid_event_order` callback issue.
+- **Incomplete sequence** augments the observed lifecycle state and requires
+  affirmative evidence; elapsed time alone never makes a cycle incomplete.
+- Duplicate DOM IDs or duplicate retained GPT slot IDs produce an ambiguous
+  binding and no badge. The implementation never chooses the first element or
+  newest slot heuristically.
+
+No PR #961 tracing implementation is present at this branch's current base.
+Do not add cleanup work for auction tracing unless such code is introduced by a
+later merge.
+
+---
+
+## Scope Guardrails
+
+### In scope
+
+- Dedicated deployment configuration and immediate JS module registration.
+- Early activation bootstrap and tab-local persistence.
+- Six documented GPT lifecycle listeners.
+- Bounded slot, cycle, and callback-issue storage.
+- Conservative cycle matching, timings, coverage, and issue reporting.
+- Exact and unique DOM binding.
+- Read-only API, versioned snapshot, and explicit local JSON download.
+- Closed-Shadow-DOM panel and viewport badges.
+- Hydration, SPA, element-replacement, and host-remount behavior.
+- Rust, Vitest, Playwright, and environment-specific live acceptance coverage.
+- Operator documentation and example configuration.
+
+### Explicitly out of scope
+
+- Auction, bid, winner, bidder, targeting, or creative provenance.
+- OpenRTB, `/auction`, Prebid, creative renderer, telemetry, Tinybird, cookies,
+  or server response variants.
+- Patching `display`, `defineSlot`, `refresh`, `fetch`, XHR, publisher callbacks,
+  `pushState`, or route handlers.
+- Resource Timing inference or diagnostic network upload.
+- Persistent diagnostic records beyond in-memory document state.
+- Changes to the existing `gpt` integration's ad-serving behavior.
+
+Stop and request spec review if implementation appears to require any excluded
+area.
+
+---
+
+## Runtime Contracts to Pin in Tests
+
+### Activation
+
+- The dedicated integration is absent unless configured and enabled.
+- Recognized `ts_console` values are exactly `1`, `true`, `0`, and `false`.
+- A recognized directive updates tab-local `sessionStorage`, sets a private
+  document activation flag, and removes all `ts_console` parameters while
+  preserving path, other parameters, and fragment.
+- An unrecognized value is ignored and remains in the URL.
+- If storage throws or is unavailable, a recognized directive applies only to
+  the current document.
+- Inactive module evaluation installs no GPT listeners, API, overlay host, DOM
+  observer, or network activity.
+
+### Coverage and issues
+
+For each callback kind:
+
+```text
+observed = matched + unmatched + ambiguous
+```
+
+A callback issue is secondary diagnostic information, not a fourth matching
+category. `callbackIssues` may therefore include:
+
+- `disposition: "unmatched"` with a no-compatible-cycle reason.
+- `disposition: "ambiguous"` with `overlapping_request_cycles`.
+- `disposition: "matched"` with `invalid_event_order`.
+
+### Lifecycle state
+
+Primary state is one of Waiting for request, Requesting, Response received,
+Filled, or Empty. Loaded, Viewable, Incomplete sequence, Unbound, and Ambiguous
+binding are independent facts or issues. Pending work is never converted to
+Incomplete by a timer.
+
+### API
+
+Use these public semantics:
+
+- `snapshot()` returns a fresh `GptDiagnosticsExportV1` object.
+- `export()` creates and clicks a local Blob download, then revokes its object
+  URL; it performs no network request.
+- `subscribe(listener)` schedules the listener with fresh snapshots after
+  coalesced store or binding changes and returns an unsubscribe function.
+- `hide()` has the same dismissal semantics as the Close control.
+- `show()` clears dismissal and remounts presentation without restarting or
+  resetting capture.
+
+### Binding
+
+A binding is valid only when exactly one connected DOM element has the exact
+`slotElementId` and exactly one retained GPT slot record claims that ID.
+Ambiguity remains visible in the panel/export but never produces a badge.
+Element replacement with the same unique ID rebinds the same retained slot.
+
+---
+
+## File Map
+
+Paths under the new TypeScript integration may be consolidated if doing so
+makes the code materially simpler, but the observer, store, and presentation
+must remain independently testable.

+## Task 1: Add Deployment Configuration and the Early Activation Bootstrap
+
+**Files:** Rust integration/config files, bootstrap JS, example TOML, and a
+minimal diagnostics `index.ts` so build discovery remains green.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Add failing Rust registration/configuration tests.** Cover:
+  - no `gpt_diagnostics` section → no registration;
+  - `enabled = false` → no registration;
+  - `enabled = true` → one head injector and immediate JS module ID;
+  - the module is not deferred and has no proxy/routes/rewriters;
+  - deploy validation recognizes every registered builder, including
+    `gpt_diagnostics`.
+- [x] **Step 2: Add a failing HTML processor ordering test.** Process an HTML
+      document with diagnostics enabled and assert the activation bootstrap appears
+      before `script#trustedserver-js`, and each appears exactly once.
+- [x] **Step 3: Define `GptDiagnosticsConfig`.** Use a boolean `enabled` with a
+      false default, implement `IntegrationConfig`, and keep the integration
+      independent of `[integrations.gpt]`.
+- [x] **Step 4: Register the integration.** Add the module and builder entry in
+      `integrations/mod.rs`; return an `IntegrationRegistration` containing only the
+      head injector and the immediate JS module.
+- [x] **Step 5: Add the bootstrap source and include it from the head injector.**
+      The bootstrap must:
+  - parse only `ts_console`;
+  - apply the exact recognized values;
+  - tolerate storage and history failures;
+  - write one private document activation flag without exposing the public API;
+  - call `history.replaceState` once only for recognized directives;
+  - preserve `history.state`, pathname, unrelated parameters, and fragment;
+  - avoid wrapping or retaining any history method.
+- [x] **Step 6: Add a minimal `gpt_diagnostics/index.ts`.** It should perform
+      only the private activation-flag check and otherwise have no active behavior.
+      Later tasks replace the active branch with composition code.
+- [x] **Step 7: Add bootstrap behavior tests.** In Vitest/jsdom, load the actual
+      bootstrap source and execute it against controlled URL/storage state. Cover
+      enable, disable, persistence without a directive, all four recognized values,
+      case-sensitive rejection, preservation of query/fragment, storage failure,
+      history failure, and idempotent re-execution.
+- [x] **Step 8: Add `[integrations.gpt_diagnostics] enabled = false` to
+      `trusted-server.example.toml`.** Place it near the existing GPT configuration.
+- [x] **Step 9: Add the new Rust source and config validation coverage.** Update
+      `migration_guards.rs` and the `config.rs` imports, validation calls, and test
+      constants.
+- [x] **Step 10: Run focused validation.** Expected: all pass.
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo test-fastly gpt_diagnostics
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/bootstrap.test.ts

+
+## Task 2: Define the Public Export and Browser API Types
+
+**Files:** `core/types.ts` and a new diagnostics test/type fixture as needed.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Add the V1 public types.** Define:
+  - request-cycle timestamps, valid durations, render facts, and issue flag;
+  - slot export with runtime number, optional exact element ID, optional
+    `adUnitPath`, visibility facts, binding status/reason, and retained cycles;
+  - callback issue with kind, slot identity, timestamp, disposition, and reason;
+  - coverage counters and eviction metadata;
+  - `GptDiagnosticsExportV1` with `version: 1`;
+  - `GptDiagnosticsApi` with the API semantics pinned above.
+- [x] **Step 2: Add optional `gptDiagnostics?: GptDiagnosticsApi` to `TsjsApi`.**
+      Do not add mutation methods or auction/bid/creative fields.
+- [x] **Step 3: Add compile-time/type assertions or a small Vitest fixture.** It
+      should construct a valid V1 snapshot and reject provenance fields where
+      practical.
+- [x] **Step 4: Run TypeScript tests and build.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics
+node build-all.mjs
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Define GPT diagnostics browser API and export schema`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Implement the Bounded Diagnostics Store
+
+**Files:** `store.ts`, public/internal types, and `store.test.ts`.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write deterministic failing tests for slot identity.** Verify:
+  - the GPT `Slot` object is primary identity through a `WeakMap`;
+  - two objects with the same element ID remain separate runtime slots;
+  - missing/throwing slot methods produce safe optional display metadata;
+  - runtime slot numbers are monotonic and synthetic labels are never exported
+    as DOM IDs.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write failing lifecycle tests.** Cover:
+  - initial request → response → filled/empty render;
+  - load and viewability on filled cycles;
+  - visibility current/maximum values;
+  - sequential refresh numbering (`1`, `2`, `3`) and retained history;
+  - callback without a request;
+  - response/render/load/viewability compatibility rules;
+  - missing response, render, load, and viewability behavior.
+- [x] **Step 3: Write failing overlap and order tests.** For one Slot object emit
+      request 1, request 2, then response/render. Assert both later callbacks are
+      ambiguous with `overlapping_request_cycles` and no cycle is guessed. Also
+      verify a uniquely matched out-of-order callback stays matched, adds
+      `invalid_event_order`, marks the cycle incomplete, and produces no negative
+      duration.
+- [x] **Step 4: Write failing coverage tests.** Assert every observed callback is
+      exactly one of matched/unmatched/ambiguous and matched invalid-order issues do
+      not break the coverage equation.
+- [x] **Step 5: Write failing retention tests.** Pin constants at 64 slots, 10
+      cycles per slot, and 128 callback issues. Verify deterministic oldest-record
+      eviction, latest-cycle retention, monotonic numbering, and metadata counters.
+      Keep any WeakMap tombstone/value strategy bounded even when an evicted Slot
+      later emits another callback.
+- [x] **Step 6: Implement the store with an injected clock.** Production uses
+      `performance.now`; tests use a deterministic clock. Callback mutation is
+      synchronous and bounded. Subscriber notifications are scheduled/coalesced,
+      not run recursively inside callback mutation.
+- [x] **Step 7: Implement valid derived timings only when both endpoints exist
+      and are ordered.** Preserve raw timestamps and issues even when a duration is
+      suppressed.
+- [x] **Step 8: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Add bounded GPT lifecycle diagnostics store`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Install the GPT Observer Through the Command Queue
+
+**Files:** `observer.ts` and `observer.test.ts`.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Build a narrow GPT test stub.** It must preserve command-array
+      identity, provide a PubAdsService event bus, expose stable fake Slot objects,
+      and make listener counts observable.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write failing tests for listener installation.** Verify exactly
+      one listener for each documented event:
+      `slotRequested`, `slotResponseReceived`, `slotRenderEnded`, `slotOnload`,
+      `impressionViewable`, and `slotVisibilityChanged`.
+- [x] **Step 3: Verify installation is queued and idempotent.** Cover GPT absent
+      at module evaluation, delayed queue execution, already-loaded custom
+      `cmd.push`, repeated installation, and GPT never becoming available. Do not
+      poll.
+- [x] **Step 4: Verify normalized event forwarding.** Render events retain only
+      allowed fields: `isEmpty`, rendered size, `isBackfill`, and
+      `slotContentChanged`. Visibility events retain only percentage. No creative,
+      line-item, targeting, bidder, or price field may reach the store.
+- [x] **Step 5: Add exception-boundary tests.** Throw from slot methods, event
+      accessors, and the store. The listener must catch at its top level, warn
+      through the existing TSJS logger, and never throw into the fake GPT emitter.
+- [x] **Step 6: Add non-interference assertions.** Capture identities for
+      `display`, `defineSlot`, `refresh`, `fetch`, XHR, `pushState`, and publisher
+      listener functions before installation and assert they remain unchanged.
+- [x] **Step 7: Implement the observer and run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Observe documented GPT lifecycle callbacks`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Add Exact, Unique Slot Binding
+
+**Files:** `binding.ts` and `binding.test.ts`.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write failing exact-binding tests.** Verify only the exact
+      `slotElementId` is considered; no prefix/container/inner-ID guessing occurs.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write duplicate tests.** Cover:
+  - two retained GPT slot records claiming one ID;
+  - two connected DOM elements with one ID;
+  - one duplicate later removed;
+  - inability to verify uniqueness.
+    All ambiguous cases must remain unbadged and export an explicit reason.
+- [x] **Step 3: Write replacement/disconnection tests.** Replace a uniquely bound
+      element with a new connected element using the same ID and verify rebinding.
+      Disconnect it and verify the record remains but becomes unbound.
+- [x] **Step 4: Write geometry/visibility tests.** Mock rectangles, viewport
+      dimensions, and scrolling to distinguish bound, non-zero, and intersecting
+      elements. Keep GPT visibility percentage separate from DOM viewport
+      intersection.
+- [x] **Step 5: Implement targeted uniqueness verification.** Start with
+      `getElementById`; verify exact DOM uniqueness with a targeted escaped-ID query.
+      If selector escaping/querying is unavailable or throws, degrade to an
+      unbound/ambiguous result rather than guessing.
+- [x] **Step 6: Add a debounced mutation refresh and a coalesced change
+      notification.** It must inspect only observed exact IDs, not arbitrary ad
+      patterns or prefix scans.
+- [x] **Step 7: Assert the binding manager never mutates publisher slot
+      elements.** It must not write attributes, classes, or inline styles.
+- [x] **Step 8: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/binding.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Bind GPT diagnostics to unique exact slot elements`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Implement Snapshot, Subscription, and JSON Export
+
+**Files:** `api.ts` and `api.test.ts`.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write failing snapshot tests.** Combine store and current binding
+      facts into V1. Assert:
+  - `version` is exactly `1`;
+  - `capturedAt` is ISO wall-clock time;
+  - page contains current origin/pathname only;
+  - query and fragment are excluded;
+  - optional `adUnitPath` is included whenever captured;
+  - valid durations only, coverage equation, issues, and metadata are preserved;
+  - no target, bid, winner, creative, cookie, user, or auction field exists.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write failing subscription tests.** Store and binding changes
+      should coalesce into fresh snapshots. Unsubscribe prevents later calls, and
+      one throwing subscriber does not block others.
+- [x] **Step 3: Write failing export tests.** Stub `Blob`, object URL creation,
+      anchor click, and revocation. Assert one explicit local download and zero
+      fetch/XHR/beacon calls.
+- [x] **Step 4: Implement the API factory.** Presentation callbacks are injected
+      so API logic does not depend on panel internals. Return new snapshot objects;
+      never leak mutable store records.
+- [x] **Step 5: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Expose versioned GPT diagnostics snapshots and export`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Build the Closed-Shadow-DOM Panel and Lifecycle Manager
+
+**Files:** `overlay.ts` and `overlay.test.ts`.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write failing mount-timing tests.** The host must not mount until
+      `document.readyState === "complete"` and two animation frames have elapsed.
+      Capture may already contain callbacks before this point.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write failing host/isolation tests.** Assert one stable host ID,
+      one closed shadow root, scoped styles, and no publisher DOM classes/styles or
+      diagnostic attributes.
+- [x] **Step 3: Write failing panel-state tests using an injected rendering test
+      handle.** Production uses `mode: "closed"`; tests may retain the created root
+      reference without exposing it on `window`. Cover:
+  - expanded by default and collapse/expand;
+  - GPT observed vs Waiting for GPT;
+  - callback coverage and issue counts;
+  - latest cycle plus expandable history;
+  - Filled, Empty, pending, Loaded, Viewable, Incomplete sequence;
+  - timings, rendered size, backfill, ad unit path, binding and visibility;
+  - All, Visible, Filled, Empty, Pending/Incomplete, Unbound/Ambiguous filters;
+  - Export and Close controls.
+- [x] **Step 4: Write failing lifecycle tests.** External host removal triggers
+      one debounced remount. Framework root/body-child replacement also remounts.
+      Close or `hide()` sets document dismissal and prevents remount. `show()` clears
+      dismissal without clearing data. Repeated show/hide/removal never creates two
+      hosts.
+- [x] **Step 5: Implement scheduled rendering.** Store callbacks only request a
+      coalesced UI update; no DOM rendering occurs synchronously inside GPT
+      callbacks.
+- [x] **Step 6: Add basic accessibility and bounded layout.** Include accessible
+      names, button semantics, keyboard focus, bounded panel dimensions, and
+      scrollable history without expanding product scope.
+- [x] **Step 7: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Add hydration-safe GPT diagnostics panel`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Add Viewport Badges Without Publisher Layout Mutation
+
+**Files:** `badges.ts`, badge tests, and panel integration.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write failing eligibility tests.** A badge exists only when the
+      slot has at least one request, a unique connected binding, a non-zero
+      rectangle, and viewport intersection. Unbound, ambiguous, zero-size,
+      offscreen, or never-requested slots receive none.
+- [x] **Step 2: Write failing content tests.** Badge text uses only GPT-observed
+      facts: Filled/Empty, rendered size, valid response/render durations, and
+      optional viewable timing. Add assertions forbidding Trusted Server, GAM
+      winner, Prebid, bidder, or provenance labels.
+- [x] **Step 3: Write failing positioning tests.** Badges live in the overlay
+      layer, use viewport coordinates, and update after scroll, window resize,
+      element resize, relevant mutation, and callback state changes.
+- [x] **Step 4: Implement one-animation-frame throttling.** Use `ResizeObserver`
+      when available; degrade cleanly when it, `MutationObserver`, or other optional
+      layout signals are missing.
+- [x] **Step 5: Assert badge handling never mutates publisher elements.** No
+      publisher element may receive attributes, classes, or styles before, during,
+      or after badge creation/removal.
+- [x] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/badges.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Add non-interfering GPT slot diagnostic badges`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Compose the Active Integration and Pin the Inactive Path
+
+**Files:** `index.ts`, composition tests, and all diagnostics modules.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Write failing composition tests.** With the private activation
+      flag absent/false, importing the module must expose no API, create no
+      `googletag`, install no listeners/observers, and create no host. With the flag
+      true, one idempotent runtime is installed.
+- [x] **Step 2: Compose in dependency order:** store → observer → binding manager
+      → overlay/badges → API. Attach only `window.tsjs.gptDiagnostics`; preserve all
+      existing `window.tsjs` fields and methods.
+- [x] **Step 3: Put a final exception boundary around active installation.** Log
+      a warning and leave publisher behavior untouched if setup fails. Do not expose
+      a half-initialized API.
+- [x] **Step 4: Verify presentation removal does not stop observer/store
+      capture.** Hide, emit callbacks, show, and assert the hidden-period events are
+      present.
+- [x] **Step 5: Add a full deterministic lifecycle test.** Initial request plus
+      refresh, filled/empty outcomes, overlap ambiguity, element replacement,
+      snapshot, panel state, and export counts must agree.
+- [x] **Step 6: Run the full diagnostics suite, all JS tests, format, and build.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics
+npx vitest run
+npm run format
+node build-all.mjs
+```
+
+- [x] **Step 7: Run focused Rust/adapter validation after the rebuilt module is
+      embedded.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly gpt_diagnostics
+cargo check-fastly
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Compose the opt-in GPT diagnostics runtime`.

+
+## Task 10: Add Controlled Real-Browser Coverage
+
+**Files:** integration-test config, Next.js fixture page, GPT stub helper,
+Playwright spec, and integration-test README.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Enable `[integrations.gpt_diagnostics]` in the source-controlled
+      integration-test config.** This only makes the module available; pages remain
+      inactive without a directive or tab state.
+- [x] **Step 2: Create a dedicated Next.js fixture page.** Include:
+  - uniquely identified, sized, scrollable slot elements;
+  - controls or fixture hooks for replacement/removal and duplicate DOM IDs;
+  - enough route/hydration behavior to exercise host survival;
+  - only fictional/example ad unit paths and data.
+- [x] **Step 3: Add a pre-document GPT stub helper with `page.addInitScript`.** It
+      should expose a command queue, PubAdsService listener registry, stable Slot
+      objects, event emitter, method-reference capture, and inspection counters.
+      It must not emulate auction behavior.
+- [x] **Step 4: Test inactive behavior.** Without activation, assert no public
+      API, host, listener registrations, diagnostics-created `googletag`, or
+      diagnostic request.
+- [x] **Step 5: Test activation/deactivation and URL cleanup.** Cover true/false,
+      unrelated query/fragment preservation, same-tab persistence across full
+      navigation and SPA navigation, and a separately opened tab starting inactive.
+- [x] **Step 6: Test listener and lifecycle behavior.** Emit initial and refresh
+      callbacks, assert request numbering, direct render facts, non-negative
+      timings, load/viewability augmentations, coverage equation, and panel host
+      presence.
+- [x] **Step 7: Test deterministic overlap.** Emit two requests for one Slot
+      before response/render and assert ambiguous issues with no forced cycle.
+- [x] **Step 8: Test binding and badges.** Verify unique bindings in the public
+      snapshot and badge geometry through the fixture/test rendering handle or
+      browser screenshot evidence. Verify missing/duplicate IDs are unbound or
+      ambiguous and have no badge. Do not weaken the production closed shadow root
+      solely to make Playwright selectors convenient.
+- [x] **Step 9: Test hydration and presentation lifecycle.** Remove the host,
+      replace relevant framework DOM, scroll, and wait for settling. Assert external
+      removal remounts, Close/hide does not, show does, and capture continues while
+      hidden.
+- [x] **Step 10: Test JSON export and non-interference.** Capture the download,
+      parse V1, compare counts/status with `snapshot()`, and assert captured GPT,
+      browser networking, and history method references remain unchanged except for
+      the one allowed bootstrap `replaceState` invocation.
+- [x] **Step 11: Test page errors and diagnostic networking.** Collect console
+      and page errors, ignore only existing documented fixture noise, and assert no
+      diagnostics endpoint/request exists.
+- [x] **Step 12: Update the integration-test README scenario table.**
+- [x] **Step 13: Run browser integration tests.** The wrapper is authoritative
+      because it builds WASM/images, generates config, installs Playwright, and runs
+      both framework suites.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh
+```
+
+For iterative runs after prerequisites are prepared:
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser
+VICEROY_CONFIG_PATH=../../../target/integration-test-artifacts/configs/viceroy.toml \
+TEST_FRAMEWORK=nextjs npx playwright test tests/nextjs/gpt-diagnostics.spec.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 14: Commit.** Suggested message:
+      `Cover GPT diagnostics in the browser integration harness`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Document Configuration, Operation, and Limits
+
+**Files:** diagnostics guide, integrations overview, VitePress navigation, and
+possibly the existing GPT guide for one cross-link only.
+
+- [x] **Step 1: Add the operator guide.** Document:
+  - deployment configuration and independence from `[integrations.gpt]`;
+  - all activation/deactivation directives and tab-local behavior;
+  - Filled/Empty semantics and explicit non-provenance warning;
+  - callback coverage, pending/incomplete distinction, bindings, refresh
+    numbering, and badges;
+  - API method semantics and V1 export shape;
+  - storage bounds and eviction counters;
+  - privacy/non-upload behavior;
+  - hydration, missing GPT, unbound slots, duplicate IDs, and overlap
+    troubleshooting.
+- [x] **Step 2: Add the integration to the overview and VitePress Ad Serving
+      navigation.** Keep the existing GPT proxy integration distinct from GPT
+      diagnostics.
+- [x] **Step 3: Use only fictional/example values and domains.**
+- [x] **Step 4: Run docs formatting and build/check if available.**
+
+```bash
+cd docs
+npm run format
+npm run build

+### Automated repository verification
+
+Run from a clean worktree after installing the pinned JS/docs dependencies.

+```
+
+### Verification limitations
+
+The browser integration harness passed for Next.js and WordPress. The HTTP
+integration harness also passed after restarting Docker, installing Wrangler,
+prebuilding the Cloudflare Workers bundle, and running the local wrapper with
+`CI=1` so it generated the same integration configuration used in CI. No
+source-controlled live publisher URL or credentials are available, so the
+environment-specific live publisher checklist remains pending.
+
+### Live publisher acceptance
+
+The repository currently contains the generic integration Playwright harness,
+but no source-controlled live publisher URL or credentials. Confirm the
+existing environment-specific live harness invocation before this step. Do not
+commit a real publisher domain, credentials, storage state, or captured user
+data. If no reusable harness exists, execute the checklist with an ephemeral
+Playwright script outside source control and attach sanitized counts/results to
+the PR.
+
+- [ ] Open a valid publisher session with `?ts_console=true` and a trace-off
+      control in the same tab when access is session-sensitive.
+- [ ] Confirm the normal page loads and diagnostics creates no attributable page
+      error.
+- [ ] Confirm API and host survive load, hydration, scrolling, and a settle
+      period.
+- [ ] Confirm callback counts are non-zero when the page serves ads and every
+      callback satisfies the coverage equation.
+- [ ] Confirm all displayed/exported durations are non-negative and consistent
+      with callback order.
+- [ ] Confirm at least one usable unique visible slot receives a badge; unbound
+      or ambiguous slots remain in the panel without one.
+- [ ] Trigger or observe a refresh and confirm a new request number rather than
+      replacement of the initial cycle.
+- [ ] Export V1 and compare slot, cycle, status, coverage, issue, and eviction
+      counts with the API/panel.
+- [ ] Confirm there are no provenance labels and no auction, bidder, targeting,
+      creative-markup, user, query-string, or fragment fields.
+- [ ] Confirm `?ts_console=false` on the next document leaves no API, host,
+      badges, listeners, or diagnostics-created requests.
+- [ ] Record sanitized acceptance evidence and any environmental limitations in
+      the PR description.
+

+
+## Suggested Review Checkpoints
+
+- [x] **After Task 1:** Review activation and cache behavior before building the
+      larger browser feature. Confirm no user-specific server response variant was
+      introduced.
+- [x] **After Task 4:** Review callback matching and listener non-interference.
+      This is the data-truth boundary.
+- [x] **After Task 6:** Review V1 export for privacy and schema stability.
+- [x] **After Task 9:** Review the active/inactive side-effect boundary and
+      bundle-size impact.
+- [x] **After Task 10:** Review hydration, duplicate-ID, closed-shadow testing,
+      and no-network evidence.
+- [x] **Before merge:** Compare the final diff against the smaller-PR boundary in
+      the spec and remove any auction/provenance work that slipped in.

+# GPT Runtime Diagnostics Overlay Specification
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-28
+**Status:** Implemented — live publisher acceptance pending
+**Branch:** `feature/gpt-runtime-diagnostics-overlay`
+
+## Summary
+
+Create an opt-in browser diagnostic console that reports facts directly observed from Google Publisher Tag (GPT) lifecycle callbacks. The console helps a publisher answer:
+
+- Which GPT slots requested ads?
+- How long did each request take to receive a response and render?
+- Did GPT report the slot as filled or empty?
+- Did the rendered slot load and become viewable?
+- Which callbacks were missing or could not be matched to a request cycle?
+- Where is the corresponding slot on the page?
+
+The feature deliberately does **not** attempt to prove whether a rendered creative originated from Trusted Server, Prebid, a direct GAM line item, backfill, or another demand path. It presents GPT-observed facts without inferring creative provenance.
+
+The intended result is a substantially smaller replacement for the auction-to-creative tracing work in PR #961.
+
+## Context
+
+A live publisher test-site audit demonstrated that GPT lifecycle diagnostics remain useful even when end-to-end attribution does not.
+
+The successful run captured:
+
+- 9 GPT requests
+- 9 GPT responses
+- 7 GPT renders
+- 6 GPT load callbacks
+- 4 viewable-impression callbacks
+- Request-to-response and response-to-render timing
+- Filled, empty, and unresolved outcomes
+- Callback correlation coverage and missing-generation anomalies
+
+The same run also demonstrated the limits of the broader design:
+
+- GAM did not preserve enough Trusted Server context to prove creative provenance.
+- Initial request generations were invalidated by a page navigation signal before GPT callbacks arrived.
+- Later GPT slots had synthetic trace identities and no usable DOM binding.
+- All GPT load callbacks were unmatched.
+- The overlay mounted and was then removed during page startup.
+- No Trusted Server auction produced a winner, so winner and creative-acknowledgement behavior could not be evaluated.
+
+These observations support a narrower tool centered on the GPT runtime itself.
+
+## Problem
+
+Publishers can inspect GPT network traffic and individual console events, but reconstructing the lifecycle of each slot and refresh manually is difficult. The browser receives several independent callbacks at different times, and the same slot can participate in multiple request cycles.
+
+A useful diagnostic tool needs to organize those callbacks without claiming evidence that GPT does not expose. The current broader tracing model mixes reliable GPT observations with attempted server, Prebid, and creative correlation. That creates substantial implementation and testing complexity while leaving the most important provenance question unresolved.
+
+## Product Goal
+
+Provide a durable, low-interference GPT diagnostic overlay that organizes documented GPT callbacks into per-slot request cycles, computes directly observable timings, highlights missing callbacks, and points the user to the corresponding slot element.
+
+Success means a publisher can open a page with `ts_console=true`, inspect GPT activity visually, and export the same information for debugging without changing auction or rendering behavior.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+This specification does not include:
+
+- Auction trace IDs or bid trace IDs.
+- Trusted Server auction outcome propagation.
+- Server-winner-to-GAM attribution.
+- Prebid bid-response, targeting-selection, bid-won, or render correlation.
+- Creative renderer acknowledgement.
+- Attribution labels such as `trusted_server`, `gam_only`, or `direct_or_unattributed`.
+- Confidence hierarchies for creative provenance.
+- OpenRTB response extensions for diagnostics.
+- Auction telemetry or Tinybird datasource changes.
+- Collection of bid prices, targeting values, user identifiers, creative markup, or auction payloads.
+- Modification of GPT slot definition, display, refresh, targeting, request, or rendering behavior.
+- General-purpose ad-server debugging outside GPT.
+
+If provenance across Trusted Server, Prebid, GAM, and the final creative is revisited later, it should be specified as a separate integration that uses controlled identifiers or controlled test creatives.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+### Report observations, not provenance
+
+A non-empty `slotRenderEnded` callback proves that GPT reported a non-empty render. It does not prove which demand source supplied the creative. The UI must use labels such as **Filled** and **Empty**, not **GAM winner** or **Trusted Server winner**.
+
+### Prefer documented callbacks over interception
+
+The implementation should use `googletag.pubads().addEventListener(...)` through the GPT command queue. It must not patch `googletag.display`, `googletag.defineSlot`, `pubads.refresh`, `fetch`, XHR, history methods, or publisher callbacks.
+
+### Preserve raw callback truth
+
+Every observed callback is counted. If a callback cannot be matched safely to a request cycle, it remains visible as unmatched or ambiguous rather than being dropped or forced into a generation.
+
+### Keep activation local and explicit
+
+Diagnostics are available only when the integration is enabled for the deployment and the current browser tab has been explicitly activated.
+
+### Do not alter the ad lifecycle
+
+The diagnostic module observes GPT. It does not gate requests, delay publisher code, suppress display or refresh calls, create slots, apply targeting, or render creatives.
+
+## Primary User Flow
+
+1. A developer opens a publisher page with `?ts_console=true`.
+2. A small early bootstrap enables diagnostics for the current tab and removes only the activation parameter from the visible URL.
+3. GPT listeners install before the first ad request where integration ordering permits.
+4. The data store begins recording GPT callbacks immediately.
+5. The visual overlay mounts after page startup, without participating in framework hydration.
+6. The developer sees one panel row per GPT slot and request cycle.
+7. Visible, exactly bound slot elements receive concise badges.
+8. Scrolling, lazy loading, and refreshes update the panel and badges.
+9. The developer exports a versioned JSON snapshot if deeper inspection is needed.
+10. `?ts_console=false` disables the console for the tab.
+
+## Scope

+```
+
+### Minimal server responsibility
+
+The server is responsible only for making the diagnostics integration available when configured and placing its bootstrap early enough in the document to observe initial GPT activity.
+
+The server must not:
+
+- Create an auction trace context.
+- Modify auction responses.
+- Add diagnostic fields to OpenRTB.
+- Emit diagnostic telemetry.
+- Vary auction behavior when the console is active.
+
+Because the response does not contain user-specific trace data, activation does not require a server session cookie or a special diagnostic response variant.
+
+### Browser components
+
+The browser implementation consists of four focused components:
+
+1. **Activation bootstrap** — manages tab-local activation and URL cleanup.
+2. **GPT observer** — installs documented event listeners and normalizes callbacks.
+3. **Diagnostics store** — retains bounded slot and request-cycle records and computes timings.
+4. **Presentation layer** — renders the panel and badges from store snapshots.
+
+The store and observer must not depend on the overlay. Removing or closing the overlay must not stop callback capture.
+
+## Activation Requirements
+
+### Configuration gate
+
+The integration is disabled by default at the deployment level. If the integration is not configured, no GPT listeners or overlay are installed.
+
+A dedicated name such as the following should be used to reflect the reduced scope:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.gpt_diagnostics]
+enabled = false
+```
+
+The final configuration name may reuse an existing integration registry convention, but it should not be named `ad_trace` unless the implementation still performs broader ad tracing.
+
+### Query directives
+
+| Directive          | Effect                                  |
+| ------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
+| `ts_console=1`     | Enable diagnostics for the current tab  |
+| `ts_console=true`  | Enable diagnostics for the current tab  |
+| `ts_console=0`     | Disable diagnostics for the current tab |
+| `ts_console=false` | Disable diagnostics for the current tab |
+
+Values are case-sensitive. Unrecognized values are ignored.
+
+### Tab-local persistence
+
+Activation is stored in `sessionStorage`, scoped to the publisher origin and browser tab. This allows normal full-page and SPA navigation in the same tab without a server cookie. A new tab is inactive unless separately activated.
+
+If `sessionStorage` is unavailable, the query directive applies to the current document only.
+
+### URL cleanup
+
+After reading a recognized directive, the bootstrap removes only `ts_console` from the current URL using `history.replaceState`. All other query parameters, the path, and the fragment are preserved.
+
+This one-time URL cleanup is not a general history patch. The diagnostics module must not wrap `pushState`, `replaceState`, or route-change handlers.
+
+### Inactive behavior
+
+When inactive:
+
+- No GPT event listeners are registered.
+- No diagnostics API is exposed.
+- No overlay host is created.
+- No DOM observers are started.
+- No diagnostic network requests are made.
+
+## GPT Listener Requirements
+
+The observer installs through `googletag.cmd.push(...)` and registers these documented PubAdsService events:
+
+| GPT event               | Diagnostic meaning                           |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `slotRequested`         | Start of a new request cycle for a slot      |
+| `slotResponseReceived`  | GPT received a response for the slot         |
+| `slotRenderEnded`       | GPT reported a filled or empty render result |
+| `slotOnload`            | The slot's creative iframe load event fired  |
+| `impressionViewable`    | GPT reported a viewable impression           |
+| `slotVisibilityChanged` | GPT reported a new visibility percentage     |
+
+Listener installation must be:
+
+- Idempotent.
+- Safe when GPT is absent or delayed.
+- Early enough to observe initial requests where deployment ordering permits.
+- Isolated so an exception in diagnostics cannot escape into publisher GPT callbacks.
+
+If GPT never becomes available, the overlay may show **Waiting for GPT**, but must not poll aggressively or modify the GPT queue contract.
+
+## Slot Identity and Element Binding
+
+### Runtime identity
+
+The GPT `Slot` object is the primary runtime identity. A `WeakMap` should associate each observed slot object with its diagnostic record. This prevents duplicate or reused element IDs from merging unrelated slot instances.
+
+### Display identity
+
+For presentation and export, the diagnostic record contains:
+
+- `slotElementId`, from `slot.getSlotElementId()`, when non-empty.
+- `adUnitPath`, from `slot.getAdUnitPath()`, when available.
+- A monotonically increasing runtime slot number for the current page.
+
+The preferred display label is the exact GPT slot element ID. If it is unavailable, the panel uses **Unbound GPT slot N**. A synthetic label must never be presented as a real DOM ID.
+
+### Exact DOM binding
+
+The presentation layer begins binding through an exact `document.getElementById(slotElementId)` lookup. A binding is valid only when exactly one connected DOM element has that ID and exactly one retained GPT slot record claims it. A targeted exact-ID query may verify DOM uniqueness. If uniqueness cannot be verified, the binding remains ambiguous.
+
+It must not:
+
+- Use prefix matching.
+- Assume `googletag.display` receives a string.
+- Call string methods on publisher-provided display arguments.
+- Create a missing publisher slot element.
+- Guess between container and inner-element IDs.
+- Select the first DOM element or newest GPT slot when an ID is duplicated.
+
+Binding is retried when relevant callbacks occur and after DOM mutations. If no exact element exists, the slot remains visible in the panel as **Unbound** and receives no badge. If multiple DOM elements or retained GPT slot records use the same ID, each affected slot is shown with an **Ambiguous binding** and receives no badge.
+
+### Element replacement
+
+If a framework replaces a bound element with a new element using the same ID, the badge layer rebinds to the new element. The request records remain associated with the GPT slot object.
+
+## Request-Cycle Model
+
+### Cycle creation
+
+Every `slotRequested` callback creates a new request cycle for that GPT slot. Cycles use a one-based `requestNumber`:
+
+- `1` — Initial request
+- `2` — Refresh 1
+- `3` — Refresh 2
+- And so on
+
+No cycle is created from `display`, `refresh`, route changes, DOM mutation, or server auction activity.
+
+### Callback matching
+
+GPT callbacks identify a slot but do not provide a stable request-cycle identifier. Matching therefore follows conservative stage compatibility:
+
+- `slotResponseReceived` can match a cycle with a request timestamp and no response timestamp.
+- `slotRenderEnded` can match a cycle with no render timestamp.
+- `slotOnload` can match a filled rendered cycle with no load timestamp.
+- `impressionViewable` can match a filled rendered cycle with no prior viewable timestamp.
+- `slotVisibilityChanged` updates slot-level current and maximum visibility and is not required to belong to one request cycle.
+
+A callback is attached only when there is one compatible cycle. If there are no compatible cycles, it is recorded as unmatched. If overlapping cycles make more than one cycle compatible, it is recorded as ambiguous with reason `overlapping_request_cycles`.
+
+The implementation must not guess a request cycle merely to improve a correlation percentage.
+
+### Navigation behavior
+
+A route change does not supersede or terminate an active GPT request cycle. GPT callbacks can legitimately arrive after publisher hydration, `replaceState`, SPA navigation, or other route signals.
+
+Cycles remain until their callbacks arrive or bounded retention evicts them. The overlay may mark the slot element as disconnected without changing the GPT lifecycle record.
+
+### Render resolution
+
+`slotRenderEnded` determines the directly observed render outcome:
+
+| GPT fact                  | Display outcome           |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `isEmpty === true`        | Empty                     |
+| `isEmpty === false`       | Filled                    |
+| No render callback yet    | Pending render            |
+| Unmatched render callback | Unmatched render callback |
+
+The word **Filled** means only that GPT reported a non-empty render.
+
+### Load and viewability
+
+Load and viewability are independent flags on a filled cycle:
+
+- A filled cycle without `slotOnload` displays **Load not observed**.
+- A load callback does not prove creative provenance.
+- An `impressionViewable` callback displays **Viewable**.
+- Absence of a viewable callback is not classified as failure.
+
+## Timing Model
+
+All lifecycle timestamps use `performance.now()` and are relative to the current document's performance time origin.
+
+Each request cycle may contain:
+
+| Field           | Source                              |
+| --------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| `requestedAtMs` | `slotRequested`                     |
+| `responseAtMs`  | `slotResponseReceived`              |
+| `renderAtMs`    | `slotRenderEnded`                   |
+| `loadAtMs`      | `slotOnload`                        |
+| `viewableAtMs`  | First matching `impressionViewable` |
+
+Derived durations are emitted only when both endpoints exist and are ordered:
+
+| Duration           | Calculation                    |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
+| Request → response | `responseAtMs - requestedAtMs` |
+| Response → render  | `renderAtMs - responseAtMs`    |
+| Request → render   | `renderAtMs - requestedAtMs`   |
+| Render → load      | `loadAtMs - renderAtMs`        |
+| Render → viewable  | `viewableAtMs - renderAtMs`    |
+
+Negative or invalid durations are not displayed. A uniquely correlated callback remains matched, while the store adds a callback issue with reason `invalid_event_order`. Matching disposition and sequence validity are recorded separately.
+
+No network timing is inferred from Performance Resource Timing entries in this scope.
+
+## Recorded GPT Facts
+
+For each render cycle, the store may record these fields when exposed by GPT:
+
+- `isEmpty`
+- Rendered `size`
+- `isBackfill`
+- `slotContentChanged`
+- Current visibility percentage
+- Maximum observed visibility percentage
+
+The first version does not record:
+
+- Creative ID
+- Line item ID
+- Campaign ID
+- Advertiser ID
+- Company IDs
+- Targeting keys or values
+- Bidder identity
+- Bid price
+- Creative HTML
+
+These exclusions keep the tool focused and reduce privacy and export concerns.
+
+## Diagnostic States
+
+The panel derives a primary lifecycle state from observed GPT facts:
+
+| State               | Meaning                                                 |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Waiting for request | Slot observed, but no `slotRequested` callback captured |
+| Requesting          | Request observed; response not yet observed             |
+| Response received   | Response observed; render not yet observed              |
+| Filled              | GPT reported a non-empty render                         |
+| Empty               | GPT reported an empty render                            |
+
+The panel augments that primary state with independent facts and issues:
+
+| Augmentation        | Meaning                                                        |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Loaded              | A filled render later produced `slotOnload`                    |
+| Viewable            | A filled render later produced `impressionViewable`            |
+| Incomplete sequence | Affirmative evidence shows a missing or invalid lifecycle step |
+| Unbound             | No exact current DOM element matches the slot element ID       |
+| Ambiguous binding   | More than one DOM element or GPT slot record claims the ID     |
+
+A cycle is marked **Incomplete sequence** only when a matched callback violates lifecycle ordering, a later-stage callback proves an earlier stage was absent, or another recorded issue can be assigned to that cycle. Elapsed time alone never makes a cycle incomplete. An unmatched or ambiguous callback that cannot be assigned safely creates a slot-level issue instead.
+
+A request without a response remains **Requesting**, and a response without a render remains **Response received**. A filled cycle without a load remains **Filled** with **Load not observed**. Absence of a viewable callback is not classified as a failure.
+
+## Callback Coverage
+
+The store maintains mutually exclusive matching-disposition counters for each callback type:
+
+```text
+observed / matched / unmatched / ambiguous
+```
+
+For each callback type, `observed` equals `matched + unmatched + ambiguous`. Sequence validity is tracked separately, so a uniquely correlated callback with invalid ordering remains matched and also produces a callback issue.
+
+Examples:
+
+```text
+Responses: 9 observed · 6 matched · 3 unmatched
+Loads: 6 observed · 6 matched
+```
+
+Coverage is a diagnostic of the observer's ability to organize callbacks. It is not an ad-fill or revenue metric.
+
+Callback issues include unmatched callbacks, ambiguous callbacks, and matched callbacks with invalid event ordering. Each issue retains:
+
+- Callback kind
+- Runtime slot number
+- Slot element ID, if available
+- Relative timestamp
+- Matching disposition
+- Reason
+
+## Overlay Requirements
+
+### Host and isolation
+
+The overlay uses one host with a stable ID and a closed Shadow DOM. Styles must not leak into the publisher page, and publisher styles must not affect overlay controls.
+
+Only one overlay instance may exist.
+
+### Hydration-safe mounting
+
+GPT listeners and data capture begin immediately after activation, but the visual host mounts only after the document reaches `complete` and at least two animation frames have elapsed.
+
+A lifecycle manager outside the overlay host observes document-level child replacement. If the active host is removed by hydration, DOM reconciliation, or SPA shell replacement, the manager remounts it after a debounce.
+
+Explicit user closure is different from external removal:
+
+- **Close** sets a dismissed state and prevents automatic remounting for the current document.
+- `window.tsjs.gptDiagnostics.show()` clears dismissal and mounts the UI again.
+- External host removal does not set dismissal.
+
+### Panel
+
+The fixed panel shows:
+
+- Whether GPT has been observed.
+- Callback coverage and unmatched counts.
+- One row per slot, showing the latest request by default.
+- Expandable previous request and refresh cycles.
+- Slot element ID or **Unbound GPT slot N**.
+- Ad unit path, when available.
+- Filled, empty, pending, loaded, and viewable facts.
+- Relevant timings.
+- Rendered size and backfill flag, when available.
+- Whether the exact slot element is currently bound and visible.
+
+Required controls:
+
+- Collapse/expand panel.
+- Filter by All, Visible, Filled, Empty, Pending/Incomplete, and Unbound/Ambiguous.
+- Export JSON.
+- Close.
+
+### Badges
+
+A badge is shown only when:
+
+- The slot has an exact, connected DOM binding.
+- The element has a non-zero rectangle.
+- The element intersects the viewport.
+- At least one request cycle has been observed.
+
+The badge is positioned adjacent to the slot without changing publisher layout. Positioning updates through throttled scroll, resize, element resize, and relevant DOM mutation signals.
+
+The first version may use one badge per bound slot without implementing complex collision optimization. If badges overlap, the panel remains the authoritative complete view.
+
+Example badge:
+
+```text
+Filled · 728×90
+Response 276 ms · Render 42 ms
+Viewable after 1.0 s
+```
+
+Example empty badge:
+
+```text
+Empty
+Response 277 ms · Render 3 ms
+```
+
+The badge must never say that a creative came from GAM, Trusted Server, Prebid, or a particular bidder.
+
+### Publisher DOM impact
+
+The overlay must not add diagnostic data attributes to publisher slot elements. Binding and state are held in internal maps. Temporary visual highlighting, if implemented, must use a separate overlay element rather than changing publisher classes or inline styles.
+
+## Browser API and Export
+
+When active, the feature exposes:
+
+```ts
+window.tsjs.gptDiagnostics = {
+  snapshot(),
+  export(),
+  subscribe(listener),
+  show(),
+  hide(),
+};
+```
+
+The API is read-only except for presentation controls. It does not expose internal mutation methods.
+
+### Export schema
+
+The JSON export is versioned independently of internal implementation details.
+
+```ts
+interface GptDiagnosticsExportV1 {
+  version: 1
+  capturedAt: string
+  page: {
+    origin: string
+    pathname: string
+  }
+  slots: Array<{
+    runtimeSlotNumber: number
+    slotElementId?: string
+    adUnitPath?: string
+    binding: {
+      status: 'bound' | 'unbound' | 'ambiguous'
+      reason?:
+        | 'missing_slot_element_id'
+        | 'missing_element'
+        | 'duplicate_dom_id'
+        | 'duplicate_gpt_slot_id'
+    }
+    currentVisibilityPercentage?: number
+    maximumVisibilityPercentage?: number
+    requests: GptRequestCycle[]
+  }>
+  callbackIssues: Array<{
+    kind: string
+    runtimeSlotNumber: number
+    slotElementId?: string
+    timestampMs: number
+    disposition: 'matched' | 'unmatched' | 'ambiguous'
+    reason: string
+  }>
+  coverage: Record<
+    string,
+    {
+      observed: number
+      matched: number
+      unmatched: number
+      ambiguous: number
+    }
+  >
+  metadata: {
+    droppedCallbacks: number
+    evictedSlots: number
+    evictedRequestCycles: number
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`GptRequestCycle` contains the request number, directly observed timestamps and render facts, and valid derived durations. It contains no server auction or bidder fields.
+
+The export includes the page origin and pathname, but excludes query parameters and fragments.
+
+## Bounded Storage
+
+The diagnostics store is memory-only and bounded. Initial limits should be simple constants with unit tests:
+
+- Maximum 64 observed GPT slot objects.
+- Maximum 10 retained request cycles per slot.
+- Maximum 128 retained callback issue records.
+
+When a limit is exceeded:
+
+- Evict the oldest eligible record.
+- Increment the corresponding metadata counter.
+- Keep the latest request cycles visible.
+- Do not throw into publisher code.
+
+The implementation does not use IndexedDB, localStorage for trace data, cookies, or server upload.
+
+## SPA and Dynamic-Page Behavior
+
+- History changes do not reset the store.
+- Route changes do not supersede GPT request cycles.
+- New GPT slots discovered after navigation are added normally.
+- Disconnected elements become unbound while their records remain available.
+- Recreated elements with the same exact ID can be rebound.
+- The overlay remounts if the publisher replaces the UI host.
+- A full document navigation starts a new in-memory store while tab activation persists through `sessionStorage`.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All diagnostic callback handlers have a top-level exception boundary. Errors are reported through the existing `tsjs` logger at warning level and do not escape into GPT.
+
+The observer must tolerate:
+
+- Missing GPT globals.
+- Missing or throwing slot methods.
+- Empty slot element IDs.
+- Duplicate element IDs.
+- Callbacks observed before the overlay exists.
+- Callbacks with no request cycle.
+- Overlapping request cycles.
+- Publisher removal of the overlay host.
+- Missing `ResizeObserver`, `MutationObserver`, or `sessionStorage`.
+
+A degraded browser may lose optional badge updates, but the GPT callback store should continue operating where event listeners are available.
+
+## Privacy and Security
+
+- Diagnostics are opt-in and local to the browser tab.
+- No diagnostic record is automatically transmitted.
+- No user identifier, cookie value, targeting value, bid value, creative markup, or auction payload is collected.
+- The export excludes URL query strings and fragments.
+- The feature is not an authentication or authorization boundary.
+- Shadow DOM isolates the UI but is not treated as a security boundary.
+- Export is initiated only by an explicit user action.
+
+## Performance and Non-Interference
+
+The inactive path should consist only of the activation check.
+
+When active:
+
+- GPT callback handlers perform bounded synchronous work.
+- UI rendering is scheduled and coalesced, not performed directly inside GPT callbacks.
+- Scroll, resize, and mutation-driven layout updates are limited to one per animation frame.
+- DOM lookup is exact and scoped to observed slot IDs.
+- Mutation handling is debounced and does not rescan the entire document for arbitrary ad patterns.
+- No diagnostic network requests are made.
+- No publisher or GPT function is replaced.
+
+## Smaller-PR Boundary
+
+The implementation PR should be limited to:
+
+- Deployment configuration for the diagnostics integration.
+- Early client activation bootstrap.
+- GPT observer and bounded diagnostics store.
+- Overlay and badge presentation.
+- Focused documentation.
+- Unit and browser tests for this functionality.
+
+The PR should not modify:
+
+- Auction orchestrator or endpoint response formats.
+- OpenRTB bid extensions.
+- Prebid integration code, except deleting superseded tracing hooks if this replaces PR #961.
+- Creative renderers or acknowledgement protocols.
+- Tinybird schemas or telemetry clients.
+- Adapter middleware for diagnostic session cookies.
+- GPT request gating, slot handoff, display, refresh, or targeting behavior.
+
+Any required change in those excluded areas is a scope expansion and should trigger explicit review of this specification.
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+### Unit tests
+
+The diagnostics store must cover:
+
+- Initial request lifecycle.
+- Multiple sequential refresh cycles.
+- Filled and empty render outcomes.
+- Load and viewability timing.
+- Missing response, render, load, and viewability callbacks.
+- Callback observed without a request.
+- Overlapping request cycles.
+- Invalid callback ordering.
+- Slot object identity with duplicate element IDs.
+- Ambiguous binding for duplicate DOM IDs and duplicate GPT slot IDs.
+- Exact element binding and rebinding.
+- Matched callback issues with invalid event ordering.
+- Bounded retention and eviction counters.
+- Export schema stability.
+- Explicit absence of provenance labels and fields.
+
+### Browser integration tests
+
+A controlled GPT stub or fixture page must verify:
+
+- Listener installation through `googletag.cmd`.
+- No patched GPT or browser methods.
+- No listeners or overlay when inactive.
+- Query activation, deactivation, and URL cleanup.
+- Tab-local persistence across document navigation.
+- Panel rendering before and after callbacks.
+- Badge placement on an exact, uniquely bound visible element.
+- No badge for an unbound or ambiguously bound slot.
+- Refresh history in the panel.
+- Overlay remount after external host removal.
+- No remount after explicit Close.
+- Overlay survival after a simulated framework root replacement.
+- Export matching the visible panel state.
+
+### Live-site harness tests
+
+The publisher Playwright harness should verify:
+
+1. `?ts_console=true` loads the normal page successfully.
+2. The diagnostic API is available.
+3. The overlay remains present after load, hydration, scrolling, and a settle period.
+4. No new page error is attributable to diagnostics.
+5. GPT callback counts are non-zero when the page serves ads.
+6. Every observed callback is represented as matched, unmatched, or ambiguous.
+7. Timings are non-negative and consistent with callback order.
+8. At least one exact, visible GPT slot receives a badge when the page exposes a usable slot element ID.
+9. Unbound or ambiguously bound slots remain visible in the panel without a badge.
+10. A refresh produces a new request number rather than replacing the initial request.
+11. The JSON export matches panel counts and status.
+12. `?ts_console=false` leaves no API, overlay, badge, or listeners active on the next document.
+
+A trace-off control should be run in the same valid browser tab when bot-protection access is session-sensitive.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+The specification is satisfied when all of the following are true:
+
+- [x] The console can be enabled and disabled using the documented query directives.
+- [x] Activation persists only in the current tab.
+- [x] The implementation uses documented GPT listeners without patching GPT behavior.
+- [x] Each `slotRequested` creates a distinct initial or refresh request cycle.
+- [x] Filled and empty labels are derived only from `slotRenderEnded.isEmpty`.
+- [x] Lifecycle timings are displayed only from observed, ordered callbacks.
+- [x] Unmatched and ambiguous callbacks remain visible in coverage diagnostics.
+- [x] Matched callbacks with invalid ordering remain matched and expose an `invalid_event_order` issue.
+- [x] Navigation does not invalidate an active GPT request cycle.
+- [x] Exact, unique DOM binding produces a badge for eligible visible slots.
+- [x] Unbound and ambiguously bound slots are clearly labeled and never receive guessed bindings.
+- [x] The overlay survives external removal and normal SPA activity.
+- [x] Explicit Close prevents automatic remount until Show is requested.
+- [x] The overlay does not add attributes, classes, or styles to publisher slot elements.
+- [x] Exported data contains no auction, bidder, targeting, creative-markup, or user fields.
+- [x] The inactive path installs no listeners or observers.
+- [x] The active path makes no diagnostic network requests.
+- [ ] The console does not produce a hydration error or alter normal ad behavior on the live test site.
+- [x] All data structures are bounded and expose eviction counters.
+- [x] The implementation remains within the smaller-PR boundary.
+
+## Resolved Decisions
+
+- The panel opens fully by default. Activation is explicit, and the existing collapse control allows the user to reduce its visual impact.
+- Exports include `adUnitPath` whenever GPT exposes it. Exported facts do not depend on panel expansion state.
+- The first version uses badges as its only spatial indicator. Temporary click-to-highlight behavior is deferred.
+- Overlapping refresh behavior is tested with a deterministic GPT event-bus stub. The fixture emits two `slotRequested` callbacks for the same `Slot` object before response or render callbacks and verifies that subsequent callbacks remain ambiguous rather than being forced into either cycle.
+- The `ts_console` activation name is retained for compatibility. Deployment configuration uses the narrower `gpt_diagnostics` name.
+- Matching disposition and sequence validity are separate. A uniquely correlated callback with invalid ordering remains matched and also produces an `invalid_event_order` callback issue.
+- **Incomplete sequence** augments the observed lifecycle state and requires affirmative evidence of a gap or invalid ordering. Elapsed time alone does not make a lifecycle incomplete.
+- DOM binding is conservative. Duplicate DOM IDs or duplicate retained GPT slot IDs produce an ambiguous binding with no badge rather than selecting an element or slot heuristically.

Subject: [PATCH 151/494] Address review feedback on per-section gam_unit_path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Resolve the review findings on the gam_unit_path templating PR.

- Make section derivation fully publisher-configurable with
  `section_segment` (0-based, default 0), so a locale-prefixed site
  (/en/news/article) selects `news` rather than `en`. Paths with no
  segment at that index fall back to `section_root`. Adds
  `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig::section_for_path` so a call site cannot
  apply one policy knob and forget the other.
- Skip serializing `section_root` and `section_segment` when unset.
  `ts config push` re-serializes the typed config into the pushed blob,
  and these structs use `deny_unknown_fields`, so emitting a null key
  would make a binary rollback fail at config load. Comment both keys
  out of the example config for the same reason.
- Stop conflating "no template" with "not compiled". `compiled_unit:
  None` also covers a slot deserialized or built without
  `compile_unit_templates`, and treating it as absent silently routed
  such slots to /<network_id>/<slot_id> — bidding against the wrong
  inventory. `render_gam_unit_path` now falls back to the raw template,
  and `template_uses_section` reads it too so validation cannot skip the
  `section_root` requirement.
- Reject a blank `gam_network_id` at startup when slots are configured,
  closing the case where `gam_unit_path = "{network_id}"` passes
  validation and renders an empty path into googletag.defineSlot. An
  empty slot list disables the feature, so the id stays unchecked there.
- Fix the documented page_patterns: `/news/*` does not match `/news`, so
  the example lost every section landing page it claimed to serve.

`resolved_gam_unit_path` is deliberately not restored as a deprecated
wrapper: it is the path-independent resolver this issue filed as the
bug, so a shim would silently return the untemplated path. The crate is
`publish = false`; `render_gam_unit_path` and `derive_section` are now
`pub` as the supported replacement, making a build break the failure
mode instead of wrong inventory.

 ### Added
 
+- `creative_opportunities.slot.gam_unit_path` is now a template supporting `{network_id}`, `{slot_id}`, and `{section}`, so a publisher whose ad unit varies by site section expresses it in one slot rule instead of one per (slot × section). `{section}` derives from the request path: `[creative_opportunities].section_segment` selects which path segment names the section (0-based, default `0`; set `1` for locale-prefixed URLs), and `section_root` supplies the value for paths with no such segment. `section_root` is required when a template uses `{section}`. Existing static and absent `gam_unit_path` configs are unchanged. Startup now also rejects a blank `gam_network_id` when slots are configured. Note that a config setting `section_root` or `section_segment` requires a binary that knows those keys — rolling the binary back below this release while the keys are present fails config load; configs that omit them roll back cleanly.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)
 - Added integrations guide with example `testlight` integration

Subject: [PATCH 153/494] Enable the Cloudflare cache bypass and strip CDN
 cache directives

The Cloudflare adapter maps the platform cache-bypass option to
`CacheMode::NoStore` on the outbound subrequest, but setting the `cache`
field on `RequestInit` requires the `cache_option_enabled` compatibility
flag, which is only on by default from compatibility date 2024-11-11.
Both wrangler files pin 2024-09-23, so the Workers runtime would have
thrown on every auction-eligible navigation, failing the origin fetch and
abandoning the auction. Set the flag explicitly in `wrangler.toml` and
`wrangler.ci.toml`, and document the coupling at the call site.

Also strip `CDN-Cache-Control` and `Cloudflare-CDN-Cache-Control` from
synthesized SSAT HTML alongside the existing surrogate headers. Without
this, an origin emitting either field could still instruct the Cloudflare
edge to store a per-navigation document, reproducing on that adapter the
bug this change closes on Fastly.

Update the design doc and plan file map to match the shipped behavior.

-Browser-visible auction IDs, bid IDs, targeting, API state, and the console require this setting plus an activated browser session. Visit a publisher page with the exact query `?ts_console=true` or `?ts_console=1`; Trusted Server enables the first response and sets a host-only session cookie automatically. Use `?ts_console=false` or `?ts_console=0` to clear the session. The reserved query is removed from downstream requests and cleaned from eligible HTML URLs. Active trace responses are private and non-storeable.
-
-The integration is disabled by default. The query is a self-service diagnostic toggle, not authorization, and does nothing without the explicit configuration gate. The console never exposes the internal auction request ID, identity data, consent strings, page URLs, partner notification URLs, cache coordinates, raw targeting, or creative markup. A creative marked `confirmed` means its exact Trusted Server renderer iframe load was acknowledged; it does not claim viewability or arbitrary advertiser JavaScript completion.

Subject: [PATCH 160/494] Fix opaque-origin click recovery and harden creative
 processing invariants

Address review feedback on the opt-in creative-processing change:

- Register GET /first-party/proxy-rebuild in every adapter. The creative
  iframe sandbox no longer grants allow-same-origin, so the click guard's
  JSON POST preflights with Origin: null and fails; the guard now recovers
  by navigating to the GET endpoint, which the core handler answers with a
  302 chain that CORS does not apply to.
- Make the click guard detect an opaque origin up front and skip the doomed
  POST, going straight to the GET navigation fallback. Dynamic resource
  signing likewise bails out early instead of issuing a request that cannot
  succeed; a same-origin parent postMessage broker for opaque-origin signing
  is tracked as a follow-up.
- Enforce the 1 MiB per-creative cap independently of the sanitize/rewrite
  flags so pass-through and rewrite-only modes cannot ship oversized markup.
- Cover the remaining processing modes: rewrite-without-sanitize at both the
  helper and response-converter level, a byte-for-byte pass-through
  assertion, and oversized-creative rejection in all four modes.
- Update stale documentation that still promised mandatory sanitization and
  default-on rewriting; describe the client sanitizeCreativeHtml helper as
  validation-only and add a breaking-change changelog entry with the
  upgrade and rollback sequences.

 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
+- **Breaking** — Auction creative processing is now fully opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` and the existing `[auction].rewrite_creatives` both default to `false`, so winning-bid `adm` ships exactly as the bidder returned it (subject to the 1 MiB per-creative cap) unless a flag is enabled. Deployments that relied on unconditional sanitization or default-on rewriting must set the flags explicitly before upgrading. The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter. Rollback: a `true` value is serialized into the config blob and older binaries reject unknown fields — before rolling back to a binary that predates a flag, set it to `false`, push the default-compatible blob, then roll back.

Subject: [PATCH 161/494] Attribute GPT renders to Trusted Server on observed
 evidence

The diagnostics console reported that a slot filled, but not what filled it,
so an operator could not tell whether the line item Trusted Server won had
rendered or whether a house ad, a direct-sold line item, or an Ad Manager
default had taken the slot.

Retain the Ad Manager identifiers slotRenderEnded already carries for the
delivered ad, and resolve delivery from two observed facts: the Trusted Server
GPT integration reporting which GPT slot carries a bid, and the rendered
creative requesting its markup from Trusted Server. Only that creative asks,
so a claim settles the Ad Manager decision, and its absence settles the
opposite once the attribution window closes. Nothing is inferred from
targeting, price, or timing, and an unattributable claim is preserved as an
issue rather than attached to a guess.

 Elapsed time alone never changes a pending request to Incomplete. A filled render without a load callback remains Filled with **Load not observed**; missing viewability is not classified as a failure.
 
+### Delivery Attribution
+
+A filled slot answers the operator question the lifecycle alone cannot: did the line item Trusted Server won actually render, or did Ad Manager deliver something else?
+
+Two independent pieces of evidence answer it.
+
+**Ad Manager's own report.** `slotRenderEnded` carries the publisher's Ad Manager identifiers for the delivered ad — line item, order, advertiser, creative, and the yield group or company for backfill. These are the same values `?google_console=1` shows. The console reports them verbatim and derives one response class from them:
+
+| Response class           | Meaning                                                                           |
+| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `empty`                  | GPT reported no ad.                                                               |
+| `backfill`               | Ad Manager filled the slot from backfill demand.                                  |
+| `reservation`            | Ad Manager reported a reservation line item.                                      |
+| `unclassified_non_empty` | Filled with no identifiers — an Ad Manager default or backup, or another service. |
+
+**The creative's own request.** Only the creative of the line item carrying Trusted Server's targeting asks Trusted Server for its markup. When it does, the Trusted Server GPT integration reports that claim, and the cycle is attributed:
+
+| Delivery         | Meaning                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trusted_server` | The rendered creative requested its markup from Trusted Server. Ad Manager selected it.                 |
+| `other_demand`   | Trusted Server had a candidate and Ad Manager filled the slot, but no creative asked. Other demand won. |
+| `no_candidate`   | Trusted Server had no bid targeting on this slot, so the render was never its to win.                   |
+| `pending`        | A candidate render is still inside its five-second attribution window.                                  |
+| `not_applicable` | The cycle was empty or has not rendered.                                                                |
+
+`trusted_server` is proof the Trusted Server creative ran, independent of whether it later loaded or confirmed. `other_demand` is only reported once the window has elapsed; a late claim still corrects the verdict. A claim that matches no retained render is preserved as a `trusted_server_claim_*` issue rather than attached to a guess.
+
+Attribution requires the Trusted Server GPT integration to be serving the slot. Without it, every filled cycle is `no_candidate` and the Ad Manager identifiers still name what rendered.
+

 ### Changed
 
+- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

-2. Group bids by slot ID
-3. For each slot, select the bid with the highest CPM
-4. Bids with `price: None` (e.g., APS encoded prices) are **skipped** — they cannot be compared without decoding

-
-- All bidders compete on equal footing, including those with encoded prices
-- Centralized floor pricing enforcement
-- Proper APS integration — encoded bids are decoded and compared fairly
-- Higher potential revenue from broader competition
+Mediation is optional for APS. APS reduces to one candidate per impression before mediation so the selected renderer can be restored without same-slot ambiguity.

 ### APS Provider
 
-Transforms auction requests into Amazon's TAM (Transparent Ad Marketplace) format.
+Builds an independent banner OpenRTB request for Amazon Publisher Services.
 
 **Request transformation:**
 
-- `AdSlot` → `ApsSlot` with `slot_id`, `slot_name`, and `sizes` array
-- Publisher ID, page URL, user agent, and timeout included
+- banner `AdSlot` formats become secure OpenRTB impressions;
+- `ext.account` uses canonical `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk` identifies the compatible Prebid contract; and
+- existing page, device, consent, identity, and geo privacy gates are preserved.
 
 **Response parsing:**
 
-- Bids have `price: None` — APS uses proprietary encoding (`amznbid` field is base64-encoded)
-- Bids have `creative: None` — APS does not return HTML creatives
-- Encoded price metadata (`amznbid`, `amznp`) preserved in bid metadata for the mediator
-- Only slots with `fif: "1"` (filled) are processed
-
-This is why mediation is important when using APS: without a mediator, APS bids cannot participate in winner selection.
+- decoded USD prices compete directly with other providers;
+- positive compatible dimensions and an HTTPS `creativeurl` are required;
+- script creatives are rejected before winner selection unless explicitly enabled;
+- one candidate per impression is retained deterministically; and
+- a minimized typed renderer is preserved instead of creative markup or APS notifications.

-# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) Integration
+# Amazon Publisher Services (APS) OpenRTB Integration
 
-Server-side bidding integration for Amazon's Transparent Ad Marketplace (TAM).
+Trusted Server can request banner bids from Amazon Publisher Services (APS) through the APS OpenRTB endpoint and let their decoded USD CPMs compete with other auction providers.
 
-## Overview
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> APS's public adapter metadata describes Prebid Server support as unavailable. Confirm edge/server-originated traffic with your APS account team before a broad production rollout. Start with an isolated cohort and disable publisher-native APS demand for that cohort to avoid duplicate demand.
 
-The APS integration enables publishers to request bids from Amazon's demand sources server-side, providing:
+## Scope
 
-- **Privacy-first bidding**: No client-side ID tracking or third-party cookies required
-- **Reduced latency**: Server-side auction reduces page load impact
-- **Unified auction**: Integrates seamlessly with other bidders (Prebid, GAM)
-- **Performance**: Async bidding with configurable timeouts
+The integration supports:
 
-## Quick Start
+- banner impressions;
+- APS OpenRTB requests to `https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid`;
+- decoded-CPM winner selection with or without a mediator;
+- direct `/auction` rendering; and
+- initial-navigation and page-bids rendering through GAM/Prebid Universal Creative.
 
-Get started with server-side APS bidding in 5 minutes.
+The integration does not implement:
 
-### Prerequisites
+- video or native impressions;
+- APS user sync;
+- Trusted Server delivery of APS `nurl` or `burl`; or
+- native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` handling for Trusted Server APS winners.
 
-- Fastly Compute service configured
-- APS publisher account with valid `pub_id`
-- Rust toolchain installed (see main README)
-
-### Step 1: Configure Fastly Backend
-
-Add APS backend to your Fastly service:
-
-**Option A: Via Fastly UI**
-
-1. Go to your service → Origins
-2. Click "Create a Backend"
-3. Configure:
-   - Name: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Address: `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
-   - Port: `443`
-   - Enable TLS: ✓
-
-**Option B: Via `fastly.toml`**
-
-Add to your `fastly.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[[backends]]
-name = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-address = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-port = 443
-use_ssl = true
-ssl_cert_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-ssl_sni_hostname = "aax.amazon-adsystem.com"
-```
-
-### Step 2: Enable APS in Configuration
-
-Edit `trusted-server.toml`:
+## Configuration
 
 ```toml
-# Enable APS bidding
 [integrations.aps]
 enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Replace with your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
+account_id = "example-aps-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
 timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
 
-# Configure auction to use APS
 [auction]
 enabled = true
-strategy = "parallel_only"  # Run APS alongside other bidders
-bidders = ["aps"]  # Add other bidders like ["aps", "prebid"]
+providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
 timeout_ms = 2000
 ```
 
-### Step 3: Deploy or Test Locally
-
-**Deploy to Fastly:**
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1
-fastly compute publish
-```
-
-**Test Locally:**
-
-```bash
-fastly compute serve
-```
-
-### Step 4: Verify It's Working
-
-Check the logs for APS activity:
-
-```bash
-# You should see:
-INFO APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)
-DEBUG APS: sending bid request: {...}
-DEBUG APS: received response: {...}
-INFO APS returned 2 bids in 150ms
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-Publisher Page Request
-        ↓
-Auction Orchestrator
-        ↓
-APS Provider (async)
-        ↓
-https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid
-        ↓
-Parse APS Response → Unified Bid Format
-        ↓
-Auction Winner Selection
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Basic Setup
+`account_id` is the canonical field. `pub_id` remains a compatibility alias for migration, including integer values, but new configuration should not use it. Supplying both names is an error.
 
-Add to `trusted-server.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"  # Your APS publisher ID
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Override settings via environment variables:
-
-```bash
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__ENABLED=true
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__PUB_ID=5128
-TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__APS__TIMEOUT_MS=800
-```
+`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`. While disabled, APS script bids are rejected before per-impression reduction, floors, mediation, and winner selection. Enable it only for a controlled cohort after the browser-security checks in [Rollout](#rollout) pass.
 
-## Auction Strategies
+APS uses ordinary auction slot IDs and banner formats. Legacy creative-opportunity APS `slot_id` configuration is accepted for compatibility but ignored, and `bidders.aps.slotID` is not required. Remove both during migration.
 
-### APS Only
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-bidders = ["aps"]
-# No mediator = parallel only (highest CPM wins)
-```
-
-### APS + Prebid (Parallel)
-
-Best for maximum revenue:
+The APS provider may also participate through a configured mediator:
 
 ```toml
 [auction]
 enabled = true
 providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
+mediator = "adserver_mock"
 timeout_ms = 2000
-# No mediator = all providers compete, highest CPM wins
+```
 
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "5128"
-timeout_ms = 800
+## OpenRTB request
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-enabled = true
-server_url = "https://prebid-server.example.com"
-timeout_ms = 1000
-```
+Trusted Server builds the APS request independently from its Prebid Server request. The request includes:
 
-**Benefits:**
+- `ext.account` from `account_id`;
+- `ext.sdk = { "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`;
+- secure banner impressions and configured floors;
+- page, site, device, and consent fields allowed by the existing privacy gates; and
+- eligible EIDs only when consent policy permits them.
 
-- Maximum fill rate
-- Best CPM selection
-- All bidders compete equally
+Precise latitude/longitude, disallowed identifiers, unsupported media types, and Trusted Server/Prebid-only extensions are not forwarded. Unsafe or oversized page URLs are omitted or replaced by the validated publisher fallback.
 
-### APS + Prebid + Mediation
+Raw outbound and inbound payloads are logged only at TRACE level. Normal logs and auction metadata contain aggregate counts and drop reasons.
 
-Let a mediator decide winners:
+## Bid eligibility and selection
 
-```toml
-[auction]
-enabled = true
-providers = ["aps", "prebid"]
-mediator = "adserver_mock"  # Enables parallel mediation (mediator decides winner)
-timeout_ms = 2000
-```
+APS responses must use USD when a response currency is present. Each eligible bid must have:
 
-## Request Format
+- a known `impid`;
+- a finite decoded price;
+- positive `w` and `h` that match a configured banner format;
+- an HTTPS, credential-free `ext.creativeurl` on an origin other than the publisher; and
+- `ext.tagtype` equal to `iframe`, or `script` when the script gate is enabled.
 
-The integration transforms unified `AuctionRequest` to APS TAM format:
+Trusted Server rejects legacy contextual response shapes and bids with markup-only render sources. It deterministically keeps one eligible APS candidate per impression by highest price, then lexicographically smallest bid ID. This reduction prevents same-slot renderer ambiguity in mediation.
 
-```json
-{
-  "pubId": "5128",
-  "slots": [
-    {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "slotName": "header-banner",
-      "sizes": [
-        [728, 90],
-        [970, 250]
-      ]
-    }
-  ],
-  "pageUrl": "https://example.com/article",
-  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0...",
-  "timeout": 800
-}
-```
+APS bids use `aps` as both the bidder identity and `hb_bidder`, regardless of an upstream seat value. The selected APS bid ID is used for `hb_adid`. APS then competes directly against other decoded-price bids and ordinary slot floors.
 
-## Response Format
+## Rendering security model
 
-APS returns bids in this format:
+Trusted Server does not insert APS creative markup into the publisher document. It serializes only the selected bid into a versioned renderer descriptor. The base64 OpenRTB envelope has exactly this shape:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "bids": [
+  "seatbid": [
     {
-      "slotID": "header-banner",
-      "price": 2.5,
-      "adm": "<div>Creative HTML</div>",
-      "w": 728,
-      "h": 90,
-      "adomain": ["amazon.com"],
-      "bidId": "bid-123",
-      "nurl": "https://win-notification.com",
-      "targeting": {
-        "amzniid": "user-id",
-        "amznbid": "2.50"
-      }
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
-The integration automatically transforms this to unified `Bid` format.
+Seats, `impid`, markup, notifications, user-sync data, sibling bids, losing seats, and unknown fields are not exposed. The browser decodes this envelope and cross-checks the ID, dimensions, URL, and tag type before any DOM mutation or message suppression.
 
-## Testing
+Both rendering paths use `GET /integrations/aps/renderer`, a static Trusted Server document with its own restrictive CSP. The document initializes the account-keyed APS queue and then loads only the fixed runner at `https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js`.
 
-### Unit Tests
+The outer iframe uses these sandbox permissions:
 
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps::tests
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
 ```
 
-### Local Testing
+It deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`, so APS and bidder execution remains below an opaque-origin boundary. The renderer response repeats these restrictions with a CSP `sandbox` directive, preventing another embedding path from restoring publisher-origin execution by omitting the iframe attribute. Trusted Server generates a fresh 128-bit nonce, binds it in the iframe URL fragment before navigation, and requires the same one-time nonce in the parent message and renderer acknowledgement. Existing slot content is retained until the static renderer has accepted the descriptor and loaded the fixed runner.
 
-1. Configure APS in `trusted-server.toml`
-2. Set up Fastly backend
-3. Run locally:
-   ```bash
-   fastly compute serve
-   ```
-4. Inspect logs for bid requests/responses
+### Direct `/auction`
 
-### Testing
+The TSJS auction client validates the typed renderer descriptor, creates the opaque renderer iframe, and sends the minimized envelope after the frame loads. Ordinary non-APS `adm` continues through the existing sanitizer and generic creative iframe.
 
-For local testing without live APS credentials, configure the integration with test values:
+### GAM and Universal Creative
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-enabled = true
-pub_id = "test-publisher-123"
-endpoint = "https://aax.amazon-adsystem.com/e/dtb/bid"
-timeout_ms = 800
-```
-
-Run unit tests:
-
-```bash
-cargo test -p trusted-server-core aps
-```
-
-## Monitoring
+For initial navigation and page-bids, Trusted Server publishes the same descriptor in `window.tsjs.bids`. The source-checked Prebid Universal Creative bridge accepts requests only from the iframe that owns the matching `hb_adid`, validates the complete envelope, and returns a static dynamic-renderer program that creates the same opaque renderer iframe.
 
-The integration logs detailed information at different levels:
+This path does not fetch PBS Cache, fire generic APS win/billing beacons, or call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for the Trusted Server winner. Publisher-owned native APS objects are otherwise left untouched.
 
-```rust
-// Info: Auction lifecycle
-log::info!("APS: requesting bids for 2 slots (pub_id: 5128)");
-log::info!("APS returned 2 bids in 150ms");
+## Publisher CSP
 
-// Debug: Request/response payloads
-log::debug!("APS: sending bid request: {...}");
-log::debug!("APS: received response: {...}");
+The publisher policy must permit the same-origin renderer route, for example:
 
-// Warn: Non-success responses
-log::warn!("APS returned non-success status: 400");
+```text
+frame-src 'self'
 ```
 
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Problem: No bids returned
-
-**Check:**
-
-1. Verify `pub_id` is correct
-2. Check backend is configured: `fastly backend list`
-3. Increase timeout: `timeout_ms = 1200`
-4. View logs with `fastly compute serve`
-
-**Possible causes:**
+Do not add `allow-same-origin` to the outer renderer sandbox. The renderer endpoint supplies its own CSP for the fixed runner and HTTPS creative resources.
 
-- Invalid `pub_id` configuration
-- Timeout too short (increase `timeout_ms`)
-- Backend not configured correctly
-- APS account not active
+Before enabling script creatives, verify under the publisher's actual CSP that both iframe and script-tag creatives:
 
-### Problem: "Backend not found" error
+- render and size correctly;
+- cannot read or modify `top.document`;
+- cannot restore publisher-origin execution;
+- reject malformed descriptors, nonce mismatches, and replay; and
+- work through both direct and GAM/Universal Creative paths.
 
-**Solution:**
-Add backend to Fastly (see Step 1)
+If script rendering requires weakening the outer sandbox, leave `allow_script_creatives = false` and consult APS instead.
 
-### Problem: Parse errors
+## Migration from the legacy APS integration
 
-**Check:**
+This release is a direct protocol cutover:
 
-- Enable debug logging
-- Verify endpoint URL is correct
-- Check APS API for changes
+1. Replace the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` endpoint with `/e/pb/bid`.
+2. Rename `pub_id` to `account_id`.
+3. Remove APS-specific slot ID configuration and remove `aps` from Prebid Server bidder lists. Trusted Server also filters APS from PBS requests for this path.
+4. Prepare GAM line items and Universal Creative for `hb_bidder=aps` and the selected APS `hb_adid`.
+5. Disable publisher-native APS demand for the Trusted Server test cohort.
 
-**Solutions:**
+There is no legacy runtime switch. Roll back by disabling `[integrations.aps]`, restoring native APS for the cohort, or deploying the prior binary.
 
-- Enable debug logging to inspect response
-- Verify APS endpoint is correct
-- Check for API changes (update structs if needed)
+## Rollout
 
-### Timeout Errors
+Use fictional values in source-controlled configuration and fixtures. Supply controlled account details out of band.
 
-**Symptoms:**
+1. Obtain APS account-team confirmation for edge-originated OpenRTB traffic.
+2. Enable Trusted Server APS only for an isolated cohort and disable native APS demand there.
+3. Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` and observe iframe bids through direct and GAM paths.
+4. Confirm outbound privacy fields, aggregate diagnostics, decoded-price competition, line-item targeting, dimensions, click-throughs, and opaque-origin isolation.
+5. Run the restrictive-CSP browser proof for script behavior.
+6. Only then enable script creatives for the isolated cohort and validate them in a real browser.
+7. Expand traffic only after APS confirmation and successful controlled validation.
 
-```
-APS request failed: Timeout
-```
-
-**Solutions:**
-
-- Increase `timeout_ms` in config
-- Check backend connectivity
-- Verify DNS resolution for `aax.amazon-adsystem.com`
+## Troubleshooting
 
-## Performance Tuning
+### No APS bids
 
-### Timeout Configuration
+- Confirm `account_id` and account eligibility with APS.
+- Confirm the endpoint is `/e/pb/bid` and uses HTTPS without credentials.
+- Ensure `aps` appears in `auction.providers`.
+- Check aggregate APS drop reasons for currency, dimensions, render source, URL, tag type, or script-gate rejection.
+- Confirm the provider timeout fits inside the auction timeout.
 
-- **Default**: 800ms (matches APS client-side behavior)
-- **Aggressive**: 500ms (reduce latency, may miss some bids)
-- **Conservative**: 1200ms (maximize fill rate)
+### Winner targets but does not render
 
-```toml
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800  # Balance latency vs fill rate
-```
+- Confirm `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` returns HTML with its CSP and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.
+- Confirm publisher CSP permits `frame-src 'self'`.
+- Confirm the GAM creative uses the supported Prebid Universal Creative bridge and the winning `hb_adid`.
+- Ensure no native APS path is trying to handle the same cohort.
+- Keep script creatives disabled while diagnosing iframe rendering.
 
-### Orchestrator Timeout
+## Verification
 
-Ensure orchestrator timeout exceeds provider timeout:
-
-```toml
-[auction]
-timeout_ms = 2000  # > sum of all provider timeouts
-
-[integrations.aps]
-timeout_ms = 800
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
 
-[integrations.prebid]
-timeout_ms = 1000
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
 ```
 
-## Integration with Client-Side
-
-While this implementation focuses on server-side bidding, you can optionally add client-side components later:
-
-1. **ID Resolution**: Integrate third-party ID vendors client-side
-2. **Analytics**: Load `aps_csm.js` for viewability tracking
-3. **Config Loading**: Fetch `/configs/{pub_id}` for advanced settings
-
-See the original network flow documentation for client-side patterns.
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-Potential additions for complete APS TAM parity:
-
-1. **Video Support**: Add video slot formats
-2. **ID Enrichment**: Server-side ID resolution (LiveRamp, ID5, etc.)
-3. **Advanced Targeting**: Pass user segments, geo data
-4. **Config API**: Fetch APS configuration from `/configs/{pub_id}`
-5. **Analytics**: Integrate with APS measurement endpoints

+> **For agentic workers:** Implement task-by-task with tests first. Do not use bare
+> `cargo test --workspace`; use the adapter-aware aliases from `.cargo/config.toml`.
+> Commit or push only when the supervising user explicitly requests it.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the legacy APS `/e/dtb/bid` integration with APS OpenRTB,
+participate with decoded prices without mediation, and render APS banner creatives in
+the direct-auction and GPT/page-bids browser paths.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep APS request/response policy in an APS-specific OpenRTB adapter.
+Map the response into the shared `Bid` plus a typed, versioned APS renderer descriptor.
+Carry that descriptor through `/auction` and the publisher bid map. TSJS builds a
+Trusted Server-owned bootstrap for the fixed APS `prebid-creative.js` runner and
+executes it in the approved sandbox. Ordinary `adm` remains on the existing mandatory
+sanitize/rewrite path.
+

+## Context and guardrails for every task
+
+- APS may be implemented and tested before production edge support is confirmed.
+  Broad production rollout remains blocked until the APS account team confirms the
+  Fastly/edge contract.
+- Send APS SDK identity `{ "source": "prebid", "version": "2.2.0" }`.
+- Build the exact renderer allowlist: one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`,
+  `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently
+  expose the complete APS response.
+- The outer renderer sandbox must omit `allow-same-origin`.
+  `allow_script_creatives` is a server-side capability gate that defaults false;
+  disabled script bids must be dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+  Enable it only under the staged opaque-origin and controlled-account test policy.
+- APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` delivery are out of scope. Do not add either
+  browser path.
+- Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` as an alias only; do not add a legacy protocol
+  switch.
+- When a Trusted Server APS renderer is present, do not call
+  `apstag.setDisplayBids()`.
+- Banner only. Do not advertise APS video support in this issue.
+- Do not weaken `sanitize_creative_html` or its tests.
+- Raw APS requests/responses remain TRACE-only. Never log real account IDs, EIDs,
+  consent strings, creative URLs, bid tokens, or response bodies at normal levels.
+- All committed fixtures/docs use fictional `example` values. Controlled test-account
+  values stay out of the repository and terminal transcripts intended for review.
+- Use `error-stack`; no anyhow/eyre/thiserror in core code.
+- Use `log::` macros, not `println!`; use descriptive `expect("should ...")`, not
+  `unwrap()`.
+- Run the focused test immediately after each production-code change.
+
+---
+
+## File map
+
+### Rust core
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`: bid identifiers and typed
+  renderer contract.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs`: narrowly scoped request/bid extension
+  serialization types if they are shared outside APS.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`: configuration, OpenRTB request,

+
+## Task 1: Add typed bid identifiers and renderer state
+
+**What:** Give the shared auction model enough typed state to distinguish OpenRTB bid,
+ad, and creative IDs and carry a validated APS renderer without using arbitrary
+metadata.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+- Modify: every production/test `Bid { ... }` construction found by
+  `rg -n 'Bid \{' crates/trusted-server-core`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/types.rs`
+
+- [ ] Add failing serde tests for a bid with:
+  - separate `bid_id`, `ad_id`, and `creative_id`;
+  - an APS renderer version, account ID, selected bid ID, tag type, creative URL,
+    encoded response, and dimensions; and
+  - `renderer = None` omission for ordinary bids.
+- [ ] Define a strict `ApsTagType` enum with only `Iframe` and `Script`.
+- [ ] Define a versioned, typed renderer enum/descriptor. The serialized renderer must
+      use camelCase and a discriminator equivalent to:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "type": "aps",
+    "version": 1,
+    "accountId": "example-account-id",
+    "bidId": "fictional-bid-id",
+    "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+    "tagType": "iframe",
+    "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+    "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+    "width": 300,
+    "height": 250
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Add to `Bid`:
+  - `bid_id: Option<String>`;
+  - `creative_id: Option<String>`; and
+  - `renderer: Option<...>`.
+- [ ] Make descriptor `creativeId` optional and omit it when APS does not return
+      `crid`; add a serde test for the absent-`crid` case.
+- [ ] Correct stale comments saying APS prices are encoded or that APS has no creative
+      delivery mechanism.
+- [ ] Update every `Bid` literal. Use `None` outside production parser paths; do not use
+      serde defaults to hide missed production mappings.
+- [ ] Update Prebid's `parse_bid` to preserve OpenRTB `id` as `bid_id` and `crid` as
+      `creative_id`, while retaining the existing strict `adid -> ad_id` semantics.
+- [ ] Run the focused tests:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::types
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::prebid::tests::parse_bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all` and `cargo check-fastly` before proceeding.
+
+**Expected result:** Shared bids can represent APS renderer state without overloading
+`ad_id` or leaking renderer data through general metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Cut APS configuration over to the OpenRTB contract
+
+**What:** Replace the public APS configuration terminology and default endpoint before
+replacing request/response behavior.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: existing APS test module in the same file
+
+- [ ] Add failing configuration tests proving:
+  - `account_id = "example-account-id"` deserializes;
+  - legacy `pub_id` deserializes to the same field;
+  - string and integer compatibility is retained;
+  - empty and whitespace-only strings fail validation;
+  - surrounding whitespace is trimmed deterministically;
+  - supplying both names fails as a duplicate field;
+  - the default endpoint is `/e/pb/bid`;
+  - HTTP, missing-host, and credential-bearing endpoint overrides fail validation; and
+  - APS remains disabled by default; and
+  - `allow_script_creatives` defaults false.
+- [ ] Rename `ApsConfig.pub_id` to `account_id`, using `pub_id` only as a serde alias.
+      Trim string values, reject empty-after-trim, normalize integers to strings, and
+      rename the custom deserializer/error text accordingly.
+- [ ] Add `allow_script_creatives: bool` with a serde default of `false`. Treat it as a
+      server-side bid-eligibility capability, not a browser-only rendering preference.
+- [ ] Change `default_endpoint()` to:
+
+  ```text
+  https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Replace generic URL-only endpoint validation with a custom check requiring HTTPS,
+      a non-empty host, and no username/password. Do not add a plaintext test exception:
+      the endpoint response is trusted to select executable renderer data.
+- [ ] Remove account IDs from registration and request INFO logs. Log only that APS was
+      registered and the endpoint/provider-safe state needed operationally.
+- [ ] Change `supports_media_type` to banner only.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run `cargo fmt --all -- --check`.
+
+**Expected result:** Existing configs continue through `pub_id`, new configs use
+`account_id`, and no runtime protocol switch is introduced.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Replace the legacy request builder with APS OpenRTB
+
+**What:** Delete the private `/e/dtb/bid` request types and build the request described
+by the design spec from trusted auction context.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify only if useful: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Test: APS and auction-format test modules
+
+### 3.1 Request fixture tests
+
+- [ ] Add a failing complete-request test with fictional values. Assert exact JSON for:
+  - request `id`, `tmax`, and `cur = ["USD"]`;
+  - `ext.account`;
+  - `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"` and `version = "2.2.0"`;
+  - one impression per eligible slot with direct `imp.id` mapping;
+  - banner `format`, first `w`/`h`, `topframe = 0`, floor, floor currency, and
+    unconditional `secure = 1`;
+  - site page/domain/publisher fields;
+  - consent-allowed user ID and EIDs;
+  - UA/IP/language/DNT and coarse geo;
+  - TCF/USP/GPP registrations with COPPA omitted because no trusted signal exists; and
+  - absence of all PBS-only request and impression extensions.
+- [ ] Add focused privacy/validation tests:
+  - latitude/longitude are omitted while permitted coarse geo remains;
+  - gated-out user/EID values stay absent;
+  - no user data, keywords, gender, YOB, customdata, cookies, or arbitrary headers;
+  - non-banner slots are omitted;
+  - dimensions above `i32::MAX` are omitted safely;
+  - empty/invalid formats cannot create a malformed impression;
+  - configured and effective timeout use the orchestrator-granted budget.
+
+### 3.2 `/auction` page derivation
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests to `auction/formats.rs` proving:
+  - a valid same-publisher HTTP(S) `Referer` becomes the `/auction` current page;
+  - userinfo, wrong-host, non-HTTP(S), malformed, and oversized URLs are rejected;
+  - rejection falls back to the configured publisher origin; and
+  - no unrestricted browser body field is accepted as page context.
+- [ ] Implement a small private URL-validation helper. Reuse it in APS referrer
+      handling if practical, but do not make it a broad URL-policy refactor.
+
+### 3.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove `ApsBidRequest`, `ApsSlot`, legacy consent wrappers, slot-ID fallback, and
+      `to_aps_request`.
+- [ ] Add APS request extension types locally in `aps.rs` unless another module must
+      serialize them. Implement `ToExt` consistently with existing OpenRTB extension
+      types.
+- [ ] Implement `build_openrtb_request(&AuctionRequest, &AuctionContext)` using generated
+      OpenRTB types and `to_openrtb_i32`.
+- [ ] Build registrations from the existing `ConsentContext` placements. Copy only the
+      small field mapping needed by APS; do not expose/refactor the PBS builder in this
+      task.
+- [ ] Derive `site.ref` only from a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` that differs from
+      the normalized current page.
+- [ ] Change `request_bids` to serialize/send the OpenRTB body with
+      `Content-Type: application/json`, the existing bounded auction timeout, and no
+      forwarded cookies.
+- [ ] Keep serialized request logging at TRACE.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo check-fastly
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review serialized request fixtures against the immutable upstream request code;
+      explicitly confirm no `ext.prebid` or Trusted Server signing extension appears.
+
+**Expected result:** Every eligible APS banner slot produces a standards-based OpenRTB
+impression with explicit APS and privacy policy.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Parse APS OpenRTB and build the minimized renderer envelope
+
+**What:** Replace `contextual.slots` parsing with strict `seatbid` parsing, decoded CPM,
+one APS candidate per impression, and the exact renderer envelope.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Test: APS test module
+
+### 4.1 Add failing response tests
+
+- [ ] A runner-compatible banner bid maps:
+  - `id -> bid_id`;
+  - optional `adid -> ad_id` and `crid -> creative_id`;
+  - `impid -> slot_id`;
+  - decoded price/USD, dimensions and domains;
+  - `Bid.bidder = "aps"` regardless of upstream seat; and
+  - `ext.creativeurl`/`ext.tagtype` into the typed renderer.
+- [ ] Missing, string, numeric, and unexpected seat values never become `Bid.bidder` or
+      `hb_bidder` and do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid.
+- [ ] A valid runner-compatible bid without `crid` remains renderable with no
+      `creativeId` in the descriptor.
+- [ ] The immutable official adapter fixture (`ext.bidder` only) is an expected safe
+      drop because the live runner requires `creativeurl`/`tagtype`.
+- [ ] `iframe` and `script` parse into strict enum variants. With
+      `allow_script_creatives = false`, every script bid is safe-dropped before
+      per-impression reduction and winner selection; iframe bids remain eligible.
+- [ ] With one higher-priced script bid and one lower-priced iframe bid for the same
+      impression, the disabled script cannot win and the iframe candidate survives.
+      With only disabled script bids, APS returns no bid.
+- [ ] An APS bid with `adm` but no valid URL/tag type is dropped. When valid renderer
+      metadata coexists with `adm`, all markup is excluded from the browser envelope
+      and `Bid.creative`.
+- [ ] HTTP 204, empty/missing `seatbid`, and seat bids with no bids are normal no-bids.
+- [ ] Legacy `{ "contextual": ... }` is `Error`/`unexpected_response_shape`.
+- [ ] Drop individual bids with unknown/missing `impid`, invalid price/currency/media,
+      missing/zero/out-of-range/incompatible `w` or `h`, missing bid ID, invalid tag
+      type, disabled script capability, or invalid creative URL.
+- [ ] Creative URLs using HTTP, credentials, excessive length, malformed syntax, or the
+      configured publisher origin are rejected.
+- [ ] One structurally malformed bid does not discard another valid bid. Invalid JSON or
+      non-representable numeric literals fail the complete response.
+- [ ] APS `nurl`/`burl` are intentionally discarded, and top-level `ext.userSyncs`
+      reaches neither `Bid`, diagnostics, nor renderer data.
+- [ ] Diagnostics contain only fixed reason/count keys and never IDs, URLs, payloads,
+      account values, seats, or raw extension data.
+
+### 4.2 Exact envelope and collision tests
+
+- [ ] Add `test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json` containing exactly:
+  - root `seatbid`;
+  - one seat object containing only `bid`;
+  - one bid containing only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`; and
+  - `ext` containing only `creativeurl` and `tagtype`.
+- [ ] Assert Rust serialization equals that golden JSON semantically and that decoded
+      `aaxResponse` has no top-level ID/currency, seat, impid, ad/crid/domain,
+      notifications, markup, syncs, sibling bids, or unknown extensions.
+- [ ] Remove unknown fields after transient parsing; do not copy an upstream extension
+      map wholesale into the renderer envelope.
+- [ ] Add a response over the 256 KiB pre-base64 cap and assert
+      `render_payload_too_large`.
+- [ ] Add two valid APS bids with the same impression/seat. Assert the parser returns
+      only the highest price; for a tie, lexicographically lowest bid ID wins with its
+      own matching renderer payload.
+
+### 4.3 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Remove all legacy request/response types, slot maps and tests.
+- [ ] Special-case HTTP 204 before body collection/JSON parsing.
+- [ ] Parse the response as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields, then
+      validate each bid independently so a wrong-typed bid cannot discard valid
+      siblings.
+- [ ] Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"`; discard upstream seat/network ID unless a bounded typed
+      internal consumer is introduced. Set APS `nurl = None` and `burl = None`.
+- [ ] Require present, positive, compatible `w` and `h`. Apply
+      `allow_script_creatives` before adding a candidate to the per-impression group so
+      a disabled script cannot reach floors, mediation, or winner selection.
+- [ ] Validate creative URL against the configured publisher origin and build the exact
+      allowlisted envelope from new values rather than cloning upstream objects.
+- [ ] Group accepted candidates by `impid`, reduce deterministically to one, then build
+      the final `AuctionResponse` and aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Preserve `collect_response_bounded(..., UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES, "aps")`,
+      TRACE-only raw body logging, and safe aggregate normal logs.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps::tests
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** APS returns at most one priced, renderer-compatible candidate per
+impression, with an exact browser envelope and stable `bidder = "aps"`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Emit APS winners through `/auction` and prove direct selection
+
+**What:** Use the new identifiers and renderer in the OpenRTB response without
+manufacturing an empty creative, then replace the old mediation assumptions.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/formats.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/openrtb.rs` if a typed bid extension helper is
+  useful
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/orchestrator.rs`
+- Test: format and orchestrator test modules
+
+### 5.1 Failing tests
+
+- [ ] `/auction` maps `Bid.bid_id`, `ad_id`, and optional `creative_id` to OpenRTB
+      `id`, `adid`, and optional `crid` instead of fabricating APS identifiers.
+- [ ] An APS renderer winner has no `adm` key and has
+      `ext.trusted_server.renderer` with the complete versioned descriptor—not a
+      `{type,version}` abbreviation.
+- [ ] A normal `Bid.creative` is still sanitized and rewritten before becoming `adm`.
+- [ ] A winning bid with neither creative nor renderer fails explicitly; it does not
+      serialize `adm: ""`.
+- [ ] A renderer descriptor does not enter the HTML sanitizer.
+- [ ] APS decoded price wins with no mediator when it is highest.
+- [ ] APS loses to a higher clear-price bid.
+- [ ] APS is removed below a slot floor.
+- [ ] Optional mediator presence does not make decoded APS pricing special.
+
+### 5.2 Implementation
+
+- [ ] Add a typed bid-extension serializer for `trusted_server.renderer`.
+- [ ] In `convert_to_openrtb_response`:
+  - preserve real bid/ad/creative IDs;
+  - process `creative` only through the existing sanitize/rewrite branch;
+  - emit renderer ext only for a typed renderer; and
+  - return an auction error for a winner with no render source.
+- [ ] Remove stale “mediation should have provided creative” APS assumptions and encoded
+      price comments.
+- [ ] Replace old orchestrator APS tests with decoded-price/floor tests. Do not change the
+      winner algorithm itself.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly auction::formats
+  cargo test-fastly auction::orchestrator
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct clients receive a priced APS winner with an explicit render
+capability and never mistake an empty `adm` for a creative.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Preserve APS renderer state through mediation and publisher bid maps
+
+**What:** Ensure both publisher paths expose the same APS descriptor and a mediator
+cannot accidentally strip it.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/adserver_mock.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: tests in both files
+
+### 6.1 Mediation tests
+
+- [ ] Add a regression test documenting the current collision: two unreduced APS bids
+      with the same provider/slot/bidder overwrite the `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
+      and can restore the wrong renderer.
+- [ ] Feed the parser's reduced APS response into mediation and prove only the selected
+      source bid reaches the index/request and its bid ID/renderer survive reconstruction.
+- [ ] Keep the broader mediator index unchanged in this issue; APS avoids its existing
+      ambiguity by returning one candidate per impression. Extend restoration only for
+      `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and renderer while preserving existing non-APS
+      notification/cache behavior.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::adserver_mock
+  ```
+
+### 6.2 Bid-map tests
+
+- [ ] Add failing `build_bid_map` tests proving:
+  - APS renderer is present when `include_adm = false`;
+  - renderer data is identical for initial-page and page-bids serialization;
+  - `hb_bidder` is always `aps`, never upstream seat/network ID;
+  - `hb_adid` uses APS selected `bid_id` ahead of OpenRTB `adid`;
+  - PBS Cache UUID remains highest priority for PBS bids;
+  - APS `nurl`/`burl` are absent while existing non-APS notifications are unchanged;
+  - no general metadata is exposed in normal mode;
+  - `aaxResponse` and account data survive `build_bids_script` escaping without
+    breaking out of the script; and
+  - a non-APS bid has no renderer property.
+- [ ] Update `build_bid_map` to serialize typed renderer data normally while retaining
+      `adm`/`debug_bid` only under the existing debug flag.
+- [ ] Set APS `hb_adid` from the descriptor's selected bid ID. Preserve current cache and
+      ad-ID fallbacks.
+- [ ] Update `debug_bid` deliberately: IDs may be shown under existing debug behavior,
+      but do not duplicate the potentially large encoded renderer envelope there.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly publisher
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct, mediated, initial-navigation, and SPA auction paths retain
+one typed APS render contract without exposing losing bids or arbitrary metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Add the opaque APS renderer endpoint and direct-auction integration
+
+**What:** Serve a static renderer document with its own CSP, validate the exact data the
+vendor consumes, and keep all APS/bidder execution below an outer opaque-origin
+sandbox.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/mod.rs`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts`
+- New: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/aps-renderer-v1.json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/auction.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/request.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/core/auction.test.ts`
+- Modify/add: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/`
+
+### 7.1 Shared wire contract
+
+- [ ] Add TypeScript discriminated types matching the Rust descriptor, with optional
+      `creativeId`.
+- [ ] Make the shared fictional JSON fixture the source of truth: Rust serialization
+      equals it and TS tests import it.
+- [ ] Add `/auction` parser tests for valid renderer ext, absent APS `adm`, optional
+      creative ID, ordinary non-APS `adm`, unrelated ext, and malformed descriptors.
+- [ ] Keep parsing structural; complete trust validation happens before DOM/message
+      side effects.
+
+### 7.2 Static renderer endpoint
+
+- [ ] Add APS to `integrations::builders()` as a proxy registration using the same
+      validated `ApsConfig`, `.with_proxy(...)`, and `.without_js()`.
+- [ ] Register only `GET /integrations/aps/renderer` and return a static document—no
+      account, bid, URL, or response data in HTML.
+- [ ] Add Rust tests for exact route registration, method rejection, content type,
+      `nosniff`, `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and the explicit renderer CSP. The CSP
+      must repeat the approved sandbox tokens without `allow-same-origin` so direct
+      embedding cannot bypass the opaque boundary.
+- [ ] Before loading the vendor runner, the static initializer reads and strictly
+      validates the expected nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it, removes the
+      fragment from visible history, and installs its one-message listener.
+- [ ] The static script accepts one parent message, verifies `event.source`, version,
+      exact structure, and equality with the independently fragment-bound nonce, then
+      removes its listener, initializes the official account queue, dispatches
+      `prebid/creative/render`, and dynamically loads the fixed runner. Reply with the
+      accepted nonce only after runner load (or report runner failure). Because the
+      sandbox origin is opaque, use `"*"` as the target origin in both directions but
+      require the exact child/source window and one-time nonce.
+- [ ] Load only the fixed Amazon runner URL; do not interpolate renderer data into
+      script text, HTML, `srcdoc`, `document.write`, or another executable sink.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::tests
+  ```
+
+### 7.3 Decode and cross-check consumed data
+
+- [ ] `validateApsRenderer` must base64-decode UTF-8 JSON and require the exact allowlist:
+      one seat, one bid, exact bid/ext keys, finite price, dimensions, URL, and tag type.
+- [ ] Cross-check decoded ID/dimensions/URL/tag type against descriptor fields.
+- [ ] Reject unknown keys, markup, notifications, syncs, invalid base64/UTF-8/JSON,
+      non-HTTPS or credential-bearing URLs, and URLs matching `location.origin`.
+- [ ] Validate before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation`, iframe creation, or
+      `postMessage`.
+- [ ] Repeat message/envelope validation inside the static renderer document.
+
+### 7.4 Opaque direct renderer
+
+- [ ] `renderApsCreative` creates a sized iframe with `src` set to
+      `/integrations/aps/renderer`; it never uses outer `srcdoc`.
+- [ ] Apply exactly these tokens and assert `allow-same-origin` is absent:
+
+  ```text
+  allow-forms
+  allow-pointer-lock
+  allow-popups
+  allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+  allow-scripts
+  allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Generate at least 128 random bits per frame with `crypto.getRandomValues`, encode
+      them as strict base64url, and set `iframe.src` to the trusted renderer URL with
+      that nonce in the fragment before insertion/navigation. After load, post the
+      validated descriptor with the same nonce. Clear existing content and reveal the
+      frame only after an exact source- and nonce-bound runner-ready acknowledgement;
+      remove an unacknowledged or failed hidden frame after a bounded timeout.
+- [ ] Reject a missing/malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, repeat, or stale message; a
+      nonce carried only in the posted message is not sufficient.
+- [ ] Leave existing slot content intact on validation/load failure and log no payload,
+      account, URL or bid ID.
+- [ ] Dispatch valid APS renderer bids before ordinary non-APS `adm`; do not change the
+      generic sanitizer/renderer.
+
+### 7.5 Restrictive-CSP and origin proof
+
+- [ ] Add Playwright coverage using a restrictive publisher CSP that permits only
+      `frame-src 'self'` for the renderer route.
+- [ ] Use a local fictional runner/creative implementation matching observed APS
+      iframe/script behavior; CI must not depend on the live Amazon script.
+- [ ] Prove iframe and fetched-HTML script creatives cannot read or modify
+      `top.document`, even though the nested vendor frame requests
+      `allow-same-origin`. Also embed the renderer without an iframe sandbox attribute
+      and prove the response-level CSP sandbox still keeps it opaque.
+- [ ] Prove the renderer route's CSP permits required HTTPS ad resources, the outer
+      frame stays opaque, malformed/mismatched envelopes or fragment/message nonce
+      mismatches do not clear slots, replay is rejected, and the runner can size/render
+      without parent-origin `frameElement` access.
+- [ ] Keep `allow_script_creatives = false` for normal traffic during local browser
+      proof. If script rendering/resizing fails, keep the server gate false and stop for
+      an APS-supported isolated renderer contract. Never add `allow-same-origin` to the
+      outer frame.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts test/core/auction.test.ts
+  node build-all.mjs
+  npm run format
+
+  cd ../../../crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser
+  npx playwright test
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Direct APS rendering uses a separately served document below an
+opaque outer sandbox with a pre-bound, one-time nonce; script bids cannot win while the
+default-off server capability is disabled.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Integrate APS with the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge
+
+**What:** Serve APS descriptors through the existing source-checked `Prebid Request`
+message path and stop signaling the native APS SDK for TS winners.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+- Modify if needed: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts`
+- Reuse: `src/integrations/aps/render.ts`
+
+### 8.1 Add failing bridge tests
+
+- [ ] A matching APS `hb_adid` and renderer:
+  - is accepted only from the owning slot's message source;
+  - is fully decoded/cross-checked before `stopImmediatePropagation()`;
+  - does not fetch PBS Cache or fire generic nurl/burl beacons;
+  - posts one exact serializable `Prebid Response` using the deployed Universal
+    Creative renderer version; and
+  - creates only the opaque renderer-route iframe before posting the descriptor.
+- [ ] Two concurrent requests for the same APS ad ID do not double-render.
+- [ ] An APS descriptor requested from another slot is ignored.
+- [ ] Invalid renderer data does not stop another legitimate handler and does not clear
+      a slot.
+- [ ] Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache tests remain green.
+- [ ] `adInit()` does not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()` for a bid with a Trusted Server
+      APS renderer, even if `window.apstag` exists.
+- [ ] A publisher-owned native APS SDK remains otherwise untouched; TS does not delete,
+      reinitialize, or monkey-patch it.
+
+### 8.2 Implement bridge support
+
+- [ ] Import the shared envelope validator/opaque-frame helper without importing the
+      full Prebid bundle.
+- [ ] Add the APS branch after source-slot ownership and full renderer validation, before
+      debug ADM/PBS Cache branches.
+- [ ] Define and fixture-test the exact Universal Creative message object, including
+      `rendererVersion`; do not describe or send a non-cloneable function.
+- [ ] Compute an absolute `/integrations/aps/renderer` URL from the trusted publisher
+      page origin before crossing into GAM; a relative URL in the creative frame would
+      resolve against GAM. Validate that URL separately from APS data.
+- [ ] Keep renderer source static and limited to creating the sandboxed iframe with that
+      absolute renderer URL plus a fresh nonce fragment, then post validated data and
+      the matching nonce after load and resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound
+      renderer-ready acknowledgement.
+- [ ] Preserve `renderingAdIds` and live `window.tsjs.bids`. Do not call
+      `fireWinBillingBeacons` for APS; existing non-APS beacon deduplication is unchanged.
+- [ ] Remove the `apstag?.setDisplayBids?.()` block that treats every APS targeting bid
+      as a native SDK bid. Update comments accordingly.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+  npx vitest run \
+    test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/index.test.ts \
+    test/integrations/gpt/spa_hook.test.ts
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Initial navigation and SPA page-bids render the selected APS bid
+through the same typed bootstrap, without relying on native `apstag` state.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Update operator configuration, migration docs, and changelog
+
+**What:** Replace all legacy public guidance and document test/rollout dependencies.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+- Rewrite: `docs/guide/integrations/aps.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Review references found by:
+
+  ```bash
+  rg -n 'e/dtb/bid|pub_id|amznbid|amznp|setDisplayBids|APS.*mediat' \
+    --glob '!target/**' .
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Change the example to `account_id` and `/e/pb/bid`, with fictional values.
+- [ ] Document `pub_id` as a compatibility alias and duplicate-name failure.
+- [ ] Remove any claim that `slot_id`/`bidders.aps.slotID` is required for the OpenRTB
+      provider.
+- [ ] Document banner-only scope, USD comparison, decoded-price direct winners, and
+      aggregate diagnostics.
+- [ ] Document both rendering paths, static renderer endpoint, fixed APS runner URL,
+      exact envelope allowlist, fragment-bound nonce, outer sandbox without
+      `allow-same-origin`, renderer endpoint/publisher CSP requirements, and the
+      default-off `allow_script_creatives` server gate.
+- [ ] State that user sync and Trusted Server firing of APS `nurl`/`burl` are not
+      implemented.
+- [ ] State that public APS metadata says PBS unsupported and production edge traffic
+      still requires account-team confirmation.
+- [ ] Add a cohort rollout checklist:
+  - TS APS enabled;
+  - native APS demand disabled for that cohort;
+  - GAM line item/Universal Creative prepared for `hb_bidder=aps` and selected
+    `hb_adid`;
+  - iframe rendering observed first while `allow_script_creatives = false`;
+  - script enabled only for the isolated cohort after local browser proof, then observed
+    in a real browser; and
+  - no real IDs/tokens captured in docs or fixtures.
+- [ ] Document rollback as disabling APS, restoring native APS for the cohort, or binary
+      rollback—not a legacy config switch.
+- [ ] Add a breaking/migration changelog entry for endpoint and canonical field changes.
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd docs
+  npx prettier --write \
+    superpowers/specs/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration-design.md \
+    superpowers/plans/2026-07-15-aps-openrtb-first-class-integration.md \
+    guide/integrations/aps.md
+  npm run format
+  ```
+
+**Expected result:** Operators cannot accidentally configure the old protocol or assume
+user sync/video/native SDK behavior that no longer exists.
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Controlled APS and browser verification
+
+**What:** Validate the uncertain external contract without putting account-specific
+material into source control.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Controlled APS account/config supplied out of band; native APS demand
+disabled for the test cohort; representative GAM line items and publisher CSP; local
+restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin script proof already passing.
+
+- [ ] Deploy with APS enabled only in the controlled cohort and
+      `allow_script_creatives = false` initially.
+- [ ] Prove with parser/orchestrator telemetry and tests that disabled script bids are
+      removed before candidate reduction/winner selection and cannot leave a winning
+      slot without a renderer.
+- [ ] Confirm the outbound body has:
+  - `/e/pb/bid` endpoint;
+  - `ext.account` from operator config;
+  - `ext.sdk = { source: "prebid", version: "2.2.0" }`;
+  - expected impressions, floors, page/device/privacy fields; and
+  - no latitude/longitude or disallowed identity fields.
+- [ ] Confirm a bid returns a decoded price and can beat another provider with no
+      mediator.
+- [ ] Confirm the browser receives the exact one-bid allowlist in `aaxResponse`, with no
+      seat, impid, IDs beyond selected bid ID, domains, notifications, markup, syncs,
+      unknown extensions, sibling bids, or losing seats.
+- [ ] Confirm the immutable official no-renderer fixture safe-drops and separately
+      observe real `creativeurl`/`tagtype` responses.
+- [ ] Exercise a real `tagtype=iframe` response through direct `/auction` and
+      navigation/page-bids/GAM while the script gate remains false.
+- [ ] Only after the local browser proof, set `allow_script_creatives = true` for this
+      isolated cohort and exercise a real `tagtype=script` response through both paths.
+      Do not enable it for other traffic yet.
+- [ ] Verify the exact envelope works with the current APS runner. If it does not, record
+      only missing field names/shape, stop rollout, consult APS, and update spec/tests;
+      never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response.
+- [ ] Verify the outer frame has an opaque origin, restrictive publisher CSP succeeds,
+      click-through/dimensions work, and bidder content cannot access parent DOM.
+- [ ] If the fixed runner cannot render/resize script creatives without outer
+      `allow-same-origin`, restore `allow_script_creatives = false` and stop; do not
+      weaken the boundary.
+- [ ] Verify `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for the TS winner and APS is not
+      participating twice.
+- [ ] Verify INFO/WARN logs and auction summaries contain no raw response or sensitive
+      values.
+- [ ] Obtain APS account-team confirmation before enabling broad production traffic.
+
+**Expected result:** Iframe creatives render under the default policy; script creatives
+become winner-eligible only for the staged cohort after both browser proof phases pass,
+or the server gate returns to false and rollout stops with a bounded contract gap.
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Final regression and repository verification
+
+Run the complete required matrix from the repository root.
+
+### Rust formatting, tests, and lint
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  cargo test-fastly
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo test-cloudflare
+  cargo test-spin
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  cargo clippy-axum
+  cargo clippy-cloudflare
+  cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+  cargo clippy-spin-native
+  cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+  ```
+
+### Cross-adapter parity
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test \
+    --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml \
+    --test parity
+  ```
+
+### JS and docs
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && node build-all.mjs)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npm run format)
+  (cd crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser && npx playwright test)
+  (cd docs && npm run format)
+  ```
+
+### Final review
+
+- [ ] Run:
+
+  ```bash
+  git diff --check
+  git status --short
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Review every `Bid` construction and mediator conversion for the new identifiers
+      and renderer field.
+- [ ] Review every `adm` assignment and prove it still passes through server
+      sanitization.
+- [ ] Review every renderer serialization boundary and prove only winning APS data is
+      exposed.
+- [ ] Review logs for account IDs, URLs, bid IDs, payloads, and consent/EID leakage.
+- [ ] Verify no real controlled-account data entered source, tests, docs, comments, or
+      snapshots.
+- [ ] Compare the final behavior against all acceptance criteria in the design spec.
+

+
+## Suggested implementation checkpoints
+
+If commits are requested, keep reviewable checkpoints aligned with the tasks:
+
+1. `Add typed APS renderer state to auction bids`
+2. `Build APS OpenRTB requests`
+3. `Parse APS OpenRTB responses`
+4. `Carry APS renderer metadata to clients`
+5. `Render APS creatives in TSJS and GPT`
+6. `Document APS OpenRTB migration`
+
+Do not combine unrelated refactors with these checkpoints.

+# Amazon APS OpenRTB First-Class Integration Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-15  
+**Status:** Approved for implementation and test; production rollout remains subject to APS account-team validation  
+**Issue:** [#764 — Add the Amazon APS Prebid Adapter as first class integration](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/764)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Replace Trusted Server's legacy Amazon Publisher Services (APS/TAM) wire contract
+with the OpenRTB contract used by the official APS Prebid.js adapter, so APS can:
+
+1. receive a valid OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot;
+2. return a decoded CPM that competes directly without a mediator;
+3. render winning `iframe` and `script` creatives through a deliberate APS browser
+   renderer; and
+4. preserve Trusted Server's existing privacy, sanitization, bounded-I/O, and
+   observability invariants.
+
+The new default endpoint is:
+
+```text
+https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid
+```
+
+The implementation may proceed against fictional fixtures and a controlled APS test
+account before APS confirms Fastly/edge-originated production support. Lack of that
+confirmation is a rollout gate, not an implementation blocker.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Approved decisions
+
+| Decision                  | Resolution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Edge/server support       | Implement and test now; do not claim production support until APS confirms it for the account.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| APS SDK identity          | Send `ext.sdk.source = "prebid"`, which APS has approved as the starting identity. Match the current adapter version with `ext.sdk.version = "2.2.0"`.                                                                                                                                   |
+| Creative response payload | Send an exact allowlisted envelope containing one bid with only `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. Do not preserve unknown fields or silently fall back to the full response.                                                                                |
+| Sandbox compatibility     | APS confirmed `allow-same-origin` compatibility, but Trusted Server must not grant it on the outer security boundary. The outer renderer iframe has an opaque origin; descendant APS frames cannot relax an ancestor sandbox restriction. `script` remains disabled until browser proof. |
+| APS notifications         | Do not expose or fire APS `nurl`/`burl` in this issue. The fixed APS runner owns creative tracking until APS approves a separate notification contract.                                                                                                                                  |
+| APS user sync             | Out of scope. Do not expose or execute `ext.userSyncs`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| Migration                 | Cut over directly. Keep `pub_id` only as a configuration alias; do not retain a legacy/OpenRTB protocol switch.                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| Native APS coexistence    | When a Trusted Server APS renderer descriptor is present, Trusted Server must not call `apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The test cohort must disable native APS demand to avoid duplicate participation.                                                                                       |

+
+## 3. Primary upstream evidence
+
+The design follows immutable official APS/Prebid sources:
+
+- [APS endpoint and adapter version](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L16-L21)
+- [OpenRTB request enrichment and privacy filtering](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L118-L187)
+- [Request dispatch](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L247-L265)
+- [Creative construction](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L279-L313)
+- [Purpose-1-gated user sync behavior](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/cf8537da6b54223aea1bb29c6f939ba3b615a273/modules/apsBidAdapter.js#L322-L345)
+- [Official APS adapter documentation and capability metadata](https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/blob/adc4af1425c3433c81ee85560519cab0f7d17887/dev-docs/aps.md)
+
+The capability metadata says `pbjs: true` and `pbs: false`. The public source proves
+browser Prebid behavior; it does not by itself establish an approved production
+server-to-server contract for Fastly or another edge runtime.
+
+The immutable adapter test fixture is not a renderer contract: it accepts a banner bid
+whose extension contains only `bidder`, then verifies that the adapter builds the
+script wrapper. The unversioned live `prebid-creative.js` observed on 2026-07-15
+(SHA-256 `ac99774f4d0f6b34aed7584952661007125345b7433970edd832e8451f9a6aef`)
+requires `bid.id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, `ext.creativeurl`, and `ext.tagtype`. This
+live-runner observation is intentionally treated as unverified behavior: the official
+fixture must safe-drop in Trusted Server, while controlled-account responses provide
+the separate renderer-compatible test path.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current-state problems
+
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs` currently:
+
+- POSTs a private `pubId`/`slots`/`pageUrl` payload to `/e/dtb/bid`;
+- requires per-slot `bidders.aps.slotID` or falls back to the incoming slot ID;
+- parses `contextual.slots` rather than OpenRTB `seatbid`;
+- stores encoded `amznbid`/`amznp` values in metadata;
+- sets `Bid.price = None` and `Bid.creative = None`; and
+- therefore cannot produce a direct no-mediator winner or a normal creative.
+
+The generic winner selector intentionally ignores price-less bids. The publisher bid
+map also starts from `bid.price`, so the current behavior is internally consistent but
+cannot satisfy #764.
+
+The existing Prebid provider has a mature OpenRTB builder, but that builder also owns
+PBS-specific bidder params, stored requests, request signing, debug behavior,
+`ext.prebid`, and consent-forwarding policy. Reusing it wholesale would couple APS to
+PBS and increase regression risk.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scope and non-goals
+
+### 5.1 In scope
+
+- APS banner OpenRTB request construction.
+- APS OpenRTB response/no-bid parsing.
+- Decoded-price direct winner selection.
+- A typed APS renderer descriptor.
+- APS creative rendering in both:
+  - direct `POST /auction` TSJS rendering; and
+  - publisher navigation/page-bids through the GPT/Prebid Universal Creative bridge.
+- Safe aggregate diagnostics.
+- Configuration and documentation migration.
+- Controlled APS account/browser testing for `iframe` and `script` tag types.
+
+### 5.2 Out of scope
+
+- APS video/VAST support. Although the upstream adapter advertises video, this issue
+  enables banner only until Trusted Server has a designed video delivery path.
+- APS `ext.userSyncs` execution or exposure.
+- A generic third-party renderer framework for arbitrary providers.
+- Refactoring the entire Prebid OpenRTB builder.
+- Retaining the legacy `/e/dtb/bid` request/parser behind a runtime switch.
+- Server-side creative URL fetching or caching.
+- Changes to the global HTML sanitizer's allowed elements or attributes.
+- Production support claims before APS account-team confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Configuration contract and cutover
+
+The canonical configuration becomes:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.aps]
+enabled = false
+account_id = "example-account-id"
+endpoint = "https://web.ads.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/e/pb/bid"
+timeout_ms = 800
+allow_script_creatives = false
+```
+
+### 6.1 Compatibility
+
+- Rename `pub_id` to `account_id` in the Rust type, example configuration, and docs.
+- Accept `pub_id` as a serde alias for `account_id` for existing operator configs.
+- Continue accepting a string or integer value during migration. Trim strings, reject
+  empty-after-trim values, and normalize integers to strings.
+- If both names are supplied, deserialization must fail as a duplicate field rather
+  than silently selecting one.
+- Keep `endpoint` as an operator-owned test/override setting, but require HTTPS with a
+  non-empty host and no URL credentials. Its configured endpoint must implement this
+  OpenRTB contract; it is not a legacy-protocol switch. There is no plaintext test
+  exception because the APS response is trusted to select an executable renderer.
+- APS remains disabled by default.
+- `allow_script_creatives` is a separate server-side capability gate and defaults to
+  `false`. It may be set to `true` only for an isolated test cohort after the
+  restrictive-CSP/opaque-origin Playwright proof passes, and may remain enabled for
+  production only after controlled-account `tagtype=script` validation.
+
+### 6.2 Slot configuration
+
+The OpenRTB impression ID is the Trusted Server slot ID. APS's official adapter has no
+per-impression bidder parameters, so the provider no longer reads
+`bidders.aps.slotID`. Existing generic creative-opportunity configuration may continue
+to deserialize that value during migration, but APS documentation must mark it unused
+and remove it from new examples.
+
+---
+
+## 7. APS OpenRTB request design
+
+### 7.1 Builder boundary
+
+Implement an APS-specific builder in `integrations/aps.rs` using the generated types
+re-exported by `openrtb.rs`.
+
+Do not make `PrebidAuctionProvider::to_openrtb` public. Initially duplicate the small
+common mappings so APS policy remains explicit. A provider-neutral helper may be
+extracted later only when tests prove byte-for-byte parity for the fields it owns.
+
+### 7.2 Request shape
+
+For each eligible slot, emit one `imp`:
+
+- `imp.id = slot.id`;
+- banner-only `banner.format` entries for valid dimensions;
+- first valid format in `banner.w`/`banner.h` for APS compatibility;
+- `bidfloor` and `bidfloorcur = "USD"` when a floor exists;
+- `banner.topframe = 0`, matching the official framed-delivery fixture;
+- `secure = 1` unconditionally because APS creative delivery is HTTPS-only; and
+- no `imp.ext.prebid`, stored request, or bidder-parameter extension.
+
+At request level emit:
+
+- `id = AuctionRequest.id`;
+- `tmax = context.timeout_ms`, the same effective budget enforced by the backend;
+- `cur = ["USD"]`;
+- `site.domain`, `site.page`, publisher data, and a valid referrer when known;
+- consent-allowed `user.id` and already-gated EIDs;
+- trusted device UA and client IP;
+- coarse device geo with latitude and longitude explicitly omitted;
+- valid `Accept-Language` and DNT signals from the downstream request;
+- TCF, USP, GPP, and GPP SID signals in their existing Trusted Server OpenRTB
+  placements. COPPA remains omitted because Trusted Server has no trusted COPPA signal
+  source in this issue; and
+- APS request extension:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ext": {
+    "account": "example-account-id",
+    "sdk": {
+      "source": "prebid",
+      "version": "2.2.0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Page and referrer provenance
+
+- Publisher navigation and page-bids continue using the server-derived scheme, host,
+  and matched request path.
+- `POST /auction` should use a valid same-publisher `Referer` URL as the current page
+  instead of always reducing the page to `https://<configured-domain>`; otherwise it
+  falls back to the configured publisher origin.
+- A candidate URL must use HTTP(S), have no userinfo, be length-bounded, and match the
+  configured publisher host before it can become `site.page`.
+- `site.ref` is emitted only when a valid HTTP(S) downstream `Referer` differs from the
+  normalized current page. If the endpoint request's `Referer` is simply the current
+  page, omit `site.ref` rather than mislabeling it as the document's prior referrer.
+- Do not add an unrestricted client-provided URL or copy arbitrary headers.
+
+### 7.4 Privacy rules
+
+The provider consumes the privacy-filtered `AuctionRequest`; it does not independently
+weaken endpoint decisions.
+
+- Existing auction consent denial still returns before contacting APS.
+- APS only receives `request.user.eids`, which endpoint code has already gated.
+- Do not serialize `user.data`, `user.keywords`, `user.gender`, `yob`, `customdata`, or
+  arbitrary context into APS.
+- Remove precise `device.geo.lat` and `device.geo.lon` even if available.
+- Do not forward browser cookies or arbitrary X-\* headers to APS.
+- Request and response payloads may be logged only at TRACE.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Response validation and unified bid mapping
+
+Parse the response envelope as `serde_json::Value`, validate response-level fields,
+and deserialize or validate each `seatbid[].bid[]` independently. This preserves valid
+siblings when one bid has a wrong field type while retaining extension maps needed for
+APS creative metadata. Syntactically invalid JSON still fails the whole response.
+
+### 8.1 Response-level validation
+
+- HTTP `204 No Content` is a normal APS no-bid and returns before body collection or
+  JSON parsing.
+- Other non-success HTTP statuses produce provider `Error` without reflecting the body.
+- Body collection remains capped by `UPSTREAM_RTB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES`.
+- Invalid JSON, including a non-representable numeric literal such as an overflowing
+  exponent under the repository's default `serde_json` configuration, or a legacy
+  `contextual` envelope is an error with safe reason `unexpected_response_shape`.
+- Empty/missing `seatbid`, or seat bids containing no bids, is a normal no-bid.
+- Currency must be absent or case-insensitive USD. A non-USD response is dropped
+  because Trusted Server has no currency conversion before winner comparison.
+- Top-level `ext.userSyncs` is ignored and must not enter diagnostics or renderer data.
+
+### 8.2 Bid-level validation
+
+A bid is eligible only when:
+
+- `impid` matches a slot in the request;
+- `price` is finite and non-negative;
+- `mtype` is absent or banner-compatible;
+- `w` and `h` are both present, non-zero, safely convert to `u32`, and are compatible
+  with the requested slot; and
+- it has APS `ext.creativeurl` plus a usable bid ID and an eligible `ext.tagtype`:
+  `iframe` is eligible, while `script` is eligible only when the server-side
+  `allow_script_creatives` capability is enabled. This check happens before candidate
+  reduction and winner selection, so a disabled or otherwise unrenderable script bid
+  cannot win and blank the slot.
+
+An APS `adm` without a valid renderer descriptor is not independently renderable in the
+normal publisher flow and must therefore be dropped. If APS supplies `adm` alongside a
+valid descriptor, remove all markup from the minimized envelope and do not copy it into
+`Bid.creative`. If controlled testing proves markup is required, stop for a separate
+security review rather than forwarding it unsanitized.
+
+`creativeurl` must be an HTTPS URL without userinfo, must not match the configured
+publisher origin, and must stay within a bounded serialized length. Validate the same
+rules again in the browser. It comes only from the HTTPS APS endpoint response, never
+from the client. Unknown tag types and recognized-but-disabled `script` bids are dropped rather than
+passed through.
+
+The pinned official adapter response fixture lacks `creativeurl` and `tagtype`; Trusted
+Server must include that fixture as an expected safe-drop test. A separate fictional
+fixture models the live runner's required extension fields. Controlled APS-account
+validation of both observed tag types remains a rollout prerequisite.
+
+### 8.3 Unified fields and APS candidate reduction
+
+Extend `Bid` with generic identifiers and a typed optional renderer:
+
+```text
+bid_id       <- OpenRTB bid.id
+ad_id        <- OpenRTB bid.adid
+creative_id  <- optional OpenRTB bid.crid
+renderer     <- typed APS renderer descriptor for every accepted APS bid
+```
+
+Set `Bid.bidder = "aps"` unconditionally. Upstream `seat` and `ext.bidder` are APS
+network metadata, not the adapter identity; normalize them only into bounded internal
+fields if an operational consumer is identified, otherwise discard them. Missing,
+numeric, or unexpected seat values do not invalidate an otherwise valid bid and never
+become `hb_bidder`.
+
+Map decoded price, currency, `impid`, dimensions, and `adomain`. Do not map APS `nurl`
+or `burl` in this issue; the vendor runner owns APS creative tracking until a separate
+notification policy is approved.
+
+Before returning `AuctionResponse`, collapse multiple valid APS candidates for the same
+impression to one candidate: highest decoded price wins, with lexicographically lowest
+bid ID as a deterministic tie-break. This produces the same APS result as direct
+winner selection and prevents the current mediator's `(provider, slot, bidder)`
+last-write-wins index from attaching another APS bid's renderer. The mediator still
+restores `bid_id`, optional `creative_id`, and `renderer` for that single APS candidate.
+A two-bids/same-slot/same-seat test is mandatory.
+
+### 8.4 Diagnostics
+
+`AuctionResponse.metadata` may contain only bounded aggregate fields, for example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid_count": 1,
+  "accepted_bid_count": 1,
+  "dropped_bid_count": 0,
+  "drop_reasons": {}
+}
+```
+
+Allowed reason keys are fixed enums such as:
+
+- `empty_seatbid`;
+- `unknown_impid`;
+- `invalid_price`;
+- `unsupported_currency`;
+- `unsupported_media_type`;
+- `invalid_dimensions`;
+- `missing_render_source`;
+- `unsupported_tagtype`;
+- `script_rendering_disabled`;
+- `invalid_creative_url`;
+- `render_payload_too_large`; and
+- `unexpected_response_shape`.
+
+Do not include account IDs, bid IDs, URLs, tokens, consent strings, raw extensions, or
+raw bodies in INFO/WARN diagnostics or client-facing provider summaries.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Exact APS renderer response envelope
+
+The official adapter gives `prebid-creative.js` the base64-encoded complete response
+and selected bid ID. Trusted Server instead sends an exact allowlisted envelope based
+on the fields required by the live runner observed on 2026-07-15:
+
+```json
+{
+  "seatbid": [
+    {
+      "bid": [
+        {
+          "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+          "price": 1.23,
+          "w": 300,
+          "h": 250,
+          "ext": {
+            "creativeurl": "https://creative.example/render",
+            "tagtype": "iframe"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The allowlist is exact:
+
+- root: `seatbid` only;
+- selected seat object: `bid` only;
+- selected bid: `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext` only; and
+- selected bid extension: `creativeurl` and `tagtype` only.
+
+Do not include top-level ID/currency/extensions, upstream seat, `impid`, `adid`, `crid`,
+`adomain`, notifications, markup, native data, user syncs, unknown extensions, sibling
+bids, or losing seats. Unknown fields may exist transiently while the server validates
+an upstream bid, but they are discarded before renderer construction.
+
+Serialize the allowlisted object once, enforce a 256 KiB pre-base64 maximum, then
+base64 encode with the standard alphabet. Store it in the typed renderer descriptor,
+not general metadata. If the envelope exceeds the cap, drop the bid as non-renderable.
+If controlled APS testing proves the exact envelope insufficient, stop and review the
+specific missing field with APS; do not widen it or fall back to the full response
+automatically.
+
+A single fictional golden fixture under the TSJS test fixtures is the source of truth:
+Rust serialization must equal it, and TypeScript parsing/validation/render-dispatch
+tests must consume that same file.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Renderer descriptor and browser wire formats
+
+### 10.1 Typed descriptor
+
+The Rust and TypeScript contracts represent the same versioned data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "aps",
+  "version": 1,
+  "accountId": "example-account-id",
+  "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "tagType": "iframe",
+  "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+  "aaxResponse": "base64-data",
+  "width": 300,
+  "height": 250
+}
+```
+
+Only `iframe` and `script` are valid tag-type values. `creativeId` is optional and is
+omitted when APS does not return `crid`; the live runner does not consume it. Version
+mismatch is fail-closed. The APS account identifier is not a secret, but it must still
+be safely serialized and must never be hardcoded from a real account in repository
+fixtures.
+
+### 10.2 `POST /auction`
+
+For APS renderer bids, the OpenRTB response bid contains the complete descriptor:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+  "impid": "fictional-slot",
+  "price": 1.23,
+  "crid": "fictional-creative-id",
+  "w": 300,
+  "h": 250,
+  "ext": {
+    "trusted_server": {
+      "renderer": {
+        "type": "aps",
+        "version": 1,
+        "accountId": "example-account-id",
+        "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+        "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+        "tagType": "iframe",
+        "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+        "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+        "width": 300,
+        "height": 250
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`creativeId`/`crid` are omitted together when APS does not return `crid`. `adm` is
+omitted, not serialized as an empty string. Ordinary non-APS `adm` behavior is
+unchanged.
+
+### 10.3 Publisher navigation and page-bids
+
+`build_bid_map` adds the same complete descriptor as a normal, non-debug `renderer`
+property for APS winners:
+
+```json
+{
+  "fictional-slot": {
+    "hb_pb": "1.23",
+    "hb_bidder": "aps",
+    "hb_adid": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+    "renderer": {
+      "type": "aps",
+      "version": 1,
+      "accountId": "example-account-id",
+      "bidId": "fictional-selected-bid-id",
+      "creativeId": "fictional-creative-id",
+      "tagType": "iframe",
+      "creativeUrl": "https://creative.example/render",
+      "aaxResponse": "eyJzZWF0YmlkIjpbeyJiaWQiOltdfV19",
+      "width": 300,
+      "height": 250
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`hb_adid` priority becomes:
+
+1. PBS Cache UUID for cached Prebid bids;
+2. APS renderer selected bid ID;
+3. existing OpenRTB `adid` fallback.
+
+The complete renderer object is emitted only for the winning bid. It is not gated by
+`debug.inject_adm_for_testing`, and general bid metadata remains debug-only.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Browser rendering design
+
+### 11.1 Static renderer endpoint
+
+Do not put the APS initializer and runner into publisher-origin `srcdoc`. Register APS
+as a proxy-capable integration (without an automatic JS bundle) and serve a static
+renderer document at:
+
+```text
+GET /integrations/aps/renderer
+```
+
+The document contains only static Trusted Server initialization code and the fixed
+`https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js` script. Before loading the
+vendor runner, the static initializer reads a strictly encoded, cryptographically
+random per-frame nonce from the iframe URL fragment, stores it as the expected nonce,
+and removes the fragment from visible history. The fragment is not sent in the HTTP
+request. It then receives one versioned renderer descriptor from its embedding parent
+through `postMessage`, verifies `event.source === parent`, and requires the message
+nonce to equal the independently established expected nonce. After the first accepted
+message it removes the listener, initializes the account-keyed APS queue, dispatches
+`CustomEvent("prebid/creative/render", { detail: { aaxResponse, seatBidId } })`, and only
+then dynamically inserts the fixed runner script. On runner load or failure it sends a
+source-bound response carrying the accepted nonce. Because the sandboxed document has
+an opaque origin, both directions use `"*"` as the `postMessage` target origin and rely
+on the exact child/parent window, source checks, one-time fragment-bound nonce, and full
+descriptor validation.
+
+The descriptor is data, never generated script text. No APS-provided HTML, script text,
+URL, account value, or decoded JSON is concatenated into an executable context. The
+vendor runner URL is a compile-time constant. The response carries
+`Content-Type: text/html`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
+`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, and a CSP `sandbox` directive containing the
+approved tokens without `allow-same-origin`. The response-level sandbox preserves the
+opaque boundary even if another embedding path omits its iframe sandbox attribute.
+
+### 11.2 Opaque outer sandbox
+
+Both direct and GPT flows load the static endpoint through `iframe.src`, not `srcdoc`,
+with this outer sandbox:
+
+```text
+allow-forms
+allow-pointer-lock
+allow-popups
+allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
+allow-scripts
+allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+The outer boundary deliberately omits `allow-same-origin`. The live APS runner grants
+`allow-same-origin` to the nested frame it creates, but a descendant cannot relax an
+ancestor sandbox's origin restriction. Therefore both `iframe` and fetched-HTML
+`script` creatives remain under the outer opaque-origin boundary rather than inheriting
+the publisher origin.
+
+This is a compatibility hypothesis, not an assumption: the current runner also touches
+`frameElement` while resizing. `tagtype=script` is rejected server-side before winner
+selection while `allow_script_creatives` is false. The capability may be enabled for an
+isolated test cohort only after a real-browser test proves that the fixed runner renders
+and resizes correctly without publisher-origin access, and may be enabled beyond that
+cohort only after controlled-account validation. If either test fails, keep the gate
+off and obtain an APS-supported isolated renderer page/origin; do not add
+`allow-same-origin` back to the outer boundary.
+
+### 11.3 Browser validation of consumed data
+
+Before creating or messaging the renderer iframe, TSJS must decode `aaxResponse` and
+validate the exact envelope consumed by the vendor runner:
+
+- root contains only one `seatbid` entry;
+- that entry contains only one `bid`;
+- the bid has exactly `id`, `price`, `w`, `h`, and `ext`;
+- `ext` has exactly `creativeurl` and `tagtype`;
+- bid ID, dimensions, creative URL, and tag type equal the duplicated descriptor fields;
+- price is finite and non-negative;
+- tag type is `iframe`, or `script` from a response the server emitted only after its
+  default-off `allow_script_creatives` eligibility gate;
+- creative URL is bounded HTTPS without credentials and does not match the publisher
+  origin; and
+- no markup, notifications, syncs, or unknown fields are present.
+
+Validation happens before slot clearing, `stopImmediatePropagation()`, iframe creation,
+or message dispatch. The static renderer document repeats the structural/message
+validation as defense in depth.
+
+### 11.4 Direct `/auction` flow
+
+`parseAuctionResponse` accepts either ordinary sanitized `adm` or a structurally typed
+renderer. The request loop performs the full decoded-envelope validation, dispatches a
+valid APS descriptor to `renderApsCreative`, and sends ordinary markup to
+`renderCreativeInline`.
+
+`renderApsCreative` generates at least 128 bits of randomness with
+`crypto.getRandomValues`, base64url-encodes it, and binds it to the static renderer URL
+as a fragment before assigning `iframe.src`. After load, it posts the validated
+descriptor with the same nonce, then waits for an exact source- and nonce-bound runner
+ready acknowledgement before clearing existing content or showing the frame. A runner
+failure or bounded acknowledgement timeout removes the hidden frame. A malformed
+descriptor, malformed fragment, nonce mismatch, replay, stale message, or runner load
+failure leaves existing slot content intact and emits a safe warning.
+
+### 11.5 GPT/page-bids flow
+
+Extend `installTsRenderBridge` while retaining the existing `Prebid Request` parsing and
+source-slot ownership validation. For a valid APS winner, return the exact serializable
+Prebid Universal Creative dynamic-renderer shape, including the supported renderer
+version. The static Trusted Server renderer source may only create the opaque outer
+iframe, load `/integrations/aps/renderer`, post the already validated descriptor, and
+resolve only after the source- and nonce-bound ready acknowledgement; APS or bidder code
+never executes in the Universal Creative renderer frame itself.
+Fixture-test this message against the deployed Universal Creative protocol rather than
+assuming a function can be structured-cloned. Include a trusted absolute
+`rendererUrl`, computed from the publisher page origin by TSJS, because a relative URL
+inside the GAM creative would resolve against the GAM origin. The dynamic renderer
+must accept only that data field and the validated APS descriptor.
+
+Call `stopImmediatePropagation()` only after ownership and complete envelope validation
+succeed. Preserve in-flight render deduplication, but do not invoke the generic
+win/billing beacon path for APS. Existing debug-ADM and PBS Cache branches remain
+unchanged.
+
+When the winning bid has a Trusted Server APS renderer, do not call
+`apstag.setDisplayBids()`. The native APS SDK may remain installed by the CMS for other
+cohorts, but it is not the renderer or bid source for that TS winner.
+
+### 11.6 CSP and real-browser gate
+
+Because the outer frame navigates to a real response, it uses that response's CSP
+instead of inheriting publisher `srcdoc` CSP. The renderer endpoint starts from this
+explicit ad-compatible policy, tightened if controlled testing permits:
+
+```text
+default-src 'none';
+script-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+connect-src https:;
+frame-src https:;
+img-src https: data:;
+media-src https: blob:;
+style-src 'unsafe-inline' https:;
+font-src https: data:;
+```
+
+The publisher must permit `frame-src 'self'` for the direct renderer endpoint. The GAM
+Universal Creative context must also permit framing the absolute publisher renderer
+URL. The broad HTTPS resource allowances apply only inside the opaque sandbox and are
+required because the APS runner and bidder HTML may load arbitrary HTTPS ad resources.
+
+Add a Playwright test under `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser` with a
+restrictive publisher CSP. It must prove the renderer endpoint loads, APS initializes,
+both tag types obey the outer opaque-origin boundary, a fictional script creative
+cannot access `top.document`, and malformed descriptors do not clear the slot. The server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate stays false during normal winner
+selection until this test passes. It may then be enabled only for the controlled test
+cohort needed to validate real rendering and remains false elsewhere until that
+validation also passes.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Sanitization and security invariants
+
+- `sanitize_creative_html` remains mandatory for every ordinary
+  `Bid.creative`/`adm` value.
+- Its element, attribute, URI, size, and fail-closed rules do not change.
+- APS executable rendering is a separate typed capability; it is never disguised as
+  sanitized `adm`.
+- Only a server-validated APS descriptor with an exact browser-validated envelope can
+  select that capability.
+- Unknown providers cannot request the APS renderer through arbitrary metadata.
+- The server never fetches `creativeurl`, avoiding an SSRF/redirect/content-type
+  service in the auction path.
+- Server and browser both require a bounded HTTPS creative URL without credentials and
+  reject the publisher origin.
+- APS/bidder execution occurs only below an outer opaque-origin sandbox. No test may
+  treat absence of `innerHTML` alone as proof; cover `srcdoc`, script text,
+  `document.write`, and message-driven sinks.
+- Existing same-origin/no-CORS-preflight protection for page-bids remains unchanged.
+- Per-user injected HTML stays private/non-shared, and page-bids stays no-store.
+- Existing upstream body caps and auction deadlines remain in force.
+
+---
+
+## 13. APS notification policy
+
+Do not map APS `nurl` or `burl` into the shared browser bid map in this issue. The live
+APS runner owns creative tracking, the official fixture does not establish that Trusted
+Server should fire OpenRTB notifications, and the direct `/auction` path has no matching
+notification lifecycle.
+
+This also prevents an APS-controlled URL from causing a credentialed same-origin POST
+through the current generic `sendBeacon`/fetch helper. If APS later requires Trusted
+Server notification delivery, design it separately with one explicit owner, bounded
+HTTPS URLs, publisher-origin rejection, omitted credentials, no referrer, macro policy,
+and equivalent direct/GPT tests. Existing non-APS notification behavior is unchanged by
+#764.
+
+---
+
+## 14. User sync policy
+
+APS user sync is explicitly out of scope:
+
+- ignore `BidResponse.ext.userSyncs`;
+- do not put sync URLs into `AuctionResponse.metadata`;
+- do not include them in the minimized renderer envelope;
+- do not fetch them at the edge; and
+- do not add image/iframe sync behavior to TSJS.
+
+A future implementation requires a separate spec covering Purpose 1, regional policy,
+URL allowlisting, deduplication, browser timing, and observability.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Logging and telemetry
+
+- Request/response bodies: TRACE only.
+- Routine request log: provider and eligible slot count, without account ID.
+- Routine response log: status, elapsed time, accepted count, and bounded dropped
+  count.
+- WARN: static condition plus slot/request-safe context; never include response body,
+  creative URL, bid token, EID, consent string, or account ID.
+- Client-facing provider summaries: aggregate reason keys/counts only.
+- Existing auction telemetry receives decoded price, currency, ad domain, and ad ID.
+  It must not receive the encoded renderer envelope.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Rollout and rollback
+
+### 16.1 Controlled rollout
+
+1. Implement server parsing and exact fictional fixtures with APS disabled and
+   `allow_script_creatives = false` by default.
+2. Prove disabled script bids are dropped before candidate reduction/winner selection.
+3. Pass the restrictive-CSP Playwright and opaque-origin access tests using the local
+   fictional script runner while the server gate remains false for normal traffic.
+4. Configure a controlled APS test account out of band.
+5. Enable Trusted Server APS only for a test cohort, disable native APS demand there,
+   and temporarily set `allow_script_creatives = true` only for that isolated cohort.
+6. Verify the official fixture safe-drops and a real account returns the unverified
+   `creativeurl`/`tagtype` contract.
+7. Verify both observed tag types through direct and GPT paths. If script cannot operate
+   below the opaque outer sandbox, set the gate false again and stop.
+8. Confirm the exact allowlisted envelope works with `prebid-creative.js`.
+9. Confirm GAM line items and the Universal Creative route request `hb_bidder=aps` and
+   the selected `hb_adid`.
+10. Obtain APS confirmation for Fastly/edge-originated production traffic before broad
+    rollout.
+
+### 16.2 Rollback
+
+- Immediate traffic rollback: set `[integrations.aps].enabled = false`.
+- Restore native APS participation for the affected cohort if required.
+- Binary rollback remains available if the old provider must temporarily be restored.
+- The new code does not retain a dormant legacy parser or protocol switch.
+
+---
+

+
+## 18. Acceptance criteria
+
+1. APS receives the specified OpenRTB request for each eligible banner slot with
+   `topframe=0` and `secure=1`.
+2. Request fixtures prove trimmed account/SDK/USD, floors, trusted page/device context,
+   consent/EIDs, existing privacy registrations, and omission of precise coordinates
+   and unsupported COPPA claims.
+3. HTTP 204 and empty `seatbid` are no-bids; malformed/legacy responses are safely
+   diagnosed.
+4. The official no-renderer fixture safe-drops; every accepted APS bid has present,
+   valid `w`/`h` and the unverified-but-validated URL/tag-type renderer contract.
+5. `Bid.bidder`/`hb_bidder` are always `aps`, independent of upstream seat.
+6. Multiple APS bids for one impression reduce deterministically to one candidate, and
+   mediation cannot restore another candidate's renderer.
+7. APS can win without a mediator and is rejected normally below the floor.
+8. The browser envelope contains exactly the allowlisted fields and matches the full
+   descriptor; Rust and TypeScript share one golden fixture.
+9. The outer renderer iframe has no `allow-same-origin`; descendant iframe/script
+   creatives cannot access publisher DOM in the restrictive-CSP Playwright test.
+10. `allow_script_creatives` defaults false; while false, script bids are dropped before
+    candidate reduction and cannot win. It is enabled only under the staged browser and
+    controlled-account policy; otherwise script remains fail-closed.
+11. The renderer binds a one-time nonce through the iframe URL fragment before
+    messaging and rejects malformed, mismatched, replayed, or stale messages before
+    clearing content or stopping another renderer handler.
+12. Ordinary non-APS `adm` sanitization and PBS Cache rendering remain unchanged.
+13. APS user sync and APS `nurl`/`burl` browser delivery remain absent.
+14. Native `apstag.setDisplayBids()` is not called for a TS APS renderer winner.
+15. Raw request/response bodies remain TRACE-only.
+16. All repository CI, adapter, JS, browser, parity, and docs-format gates pass.

+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| APS has not confirmed production Fastly/edge traffic                   | Continue implementation/testing; block broad rollout pending confirmation.                                                                                                  |
+| Official fixture and live runner disagree on creative extension fields | Safe-drop the official fixture, pin the observed runner hash/date as evidence only, and require controlled-account validation.                                              |
+| Exact envelope may omit a field used by a future runner                | Stop and review with APS; never preserve unknown fields or fall back to the full response automatically.                                                                    |
+| Fixed unversioned vendor script can change independently               | Monitor the real-browser contract and require review before changing URL, envelope, CSP, or sandbox behavior.                                                               |
+| Runner may fail without outer `allow-same-origin`                      | Keep the server-side `allow_script_creatives` gate false unless the opaque-boundary Playwright and controlled-account tests pass; never restore publisher-origin execution. |
+| Broad ad-compatible CSP permits arbitrary HTTPS resources              | Scope it to the opaque renderer document; publisher CSP only needs to frame the same-origin renderer endpoint.                                                              |
+| Existing native APS and TS APS can duplicate demand                    | Cohort-gate and disable native APS participation wherever TS APS is enabled.                                                                                                |
+| APS notifications may be required for billing                          | Do not guess; vendor runner owns tracking until APS approves a separately secured notification contract.                                                                    |
+| APS video responses could appear                                       | Advertise banner-only support and drop non-banner `mtype` until a separate video design exists.                                                                             |

 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - The SPA re-auction endpoint moved from `/__ts/page-bids` to `/_ts/page-bids`, joining every other internal route in the `/_ts/` namespace. The old path stays registered as a deprecated alias so already-loaded bundles keep serving ads, and responses on it carry a `Link: …; rel="deprecation"` header so remaining traffic is measurable from edge logs; removal is tracked in [#970](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/970). Two deployment notes: audit `[[handlers]]` for patterns broad enough to cover `/_ts` (for example `^/_ts`), which would put this browser-facing endpoint behind Basic Auth and return `401` to every visitor — scope them to `^/_ts/admin`; and prefer rolling forward over rolling back, since a server reverted past this release does not register the canonical path. In both cases the shipped client falls back to the deprecated alias, so the exposure is bounded until that alias is removed.
+- Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

+Set `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` together only when the public deployment hostname differs from the inventory identity authorized by APS. The domain becomes `site.domain`.

@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - The SPA re-auction endpoint moved from `/__ts/page-bids` to `/_ts/page-bids`, joining every other internal route in the `/_ts/` namespace. The old path stays registered as a deprecated alias so already-loaded bundles keep serving ads, and responses on it carry a `Link: …; rel="deprecation"` header so remaining traffic is measurable from edge logs; removal is tracked in [#970](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/970). Two deployment notes: audit `[[handlers]]` for patterns broad enough to cover `/_ts` (for example `^/_ts`), which would put this browser-facing endpoint behind Basic Auth and return `401` to every visitor — scope them to `^/_ts/admin`; and prefer rolling forward over rolling back, since a server reverted past this release does not register the canonical path. In both cases the shipped client falls back to the deprecated alias, so the exposure is bounded until that alias is removed.
 - Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.
+- Preserved APS renderer capabilities through the client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, allowing its generated `hb_adid` to render through GAM and Prebid Universal Creative instead of producing an empty creative.

 ### Added
 
+- Added opt-in APS HTTP debug metadata for controlled test sites, exposing the direct request and response under `/auction` provider metadata using the Prebid Server `debug.httpcalls` shape.
 - Added typed APS renderer transport for direct auctions and GAM/Prebid Universal Creative, using a minimized one-bid envelope, a fragment-bound nonce, and an opaque sandboxed renderer endpoint.
 - Added Osano consent mirror integration docs and public enablement guidance.
 - Implemented basic authentication for configurable endpoint paths (#73)

+Set `debug = true` under `[integrations.aps]` to include the direct APS HTTP exchange in the APS provider summary returned by `POST /auction`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "debug": {
+      "httpcalls": {
+        "aps": [
+          {

+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This follows the Prebid Server `metadata.debug.httpcalls` representation. APS makes one direct HTTP call per auction, so the map uses the provider key `aps` with one entry. Request and captured response bodies are strings, and header values are arrays so repeated headers are preserved. If a non-success response body cannot be read within the existing 2 MiB upstream limit, `responsebody` is omitted rather than reported as an empty body. APS does not add PBS-only `resolvedrequest` or `bidstatus` fields.
+
+The debug exchange is emitted for successful responses, `204 No Content`, malformed response bodies, and non-success HTTP statuses. Transport failures and auction timeouts happen before an HTTP response reaches the parser and continue to use the orchestrator's normal error metadata.

 ### Changed
 
-- **Breaking** — Replaced the legacy APS contextual integration with APS OpenRTB at `/e/pb/bid`. APS configuration now uses canonical `account_id` (`pub_id` remains a compatibility alias), no longer requires APS-specific slot IDs, and defaults script creative eligibility off. Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout.

Operators must update the endpoint, disable native APS demand for Trusted Server cohorts, and prepare GAM/Universal Creative targeting for `hb_bidder=aps` before rollout. APS renderer winners now preserve the upstream bid `id`, omit `crid` when APS omits it, and carry `ext.trusted_server.renderer` instead of `adm`; external `/auction` consumers must support this response shape.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

-2. **Implement real APS** - Replace mock with actual Amazon TAM API calls
-3. **Implement real GAM** - Add Google Ad Manager API integration
-4. **Add metrics** - Track bid rates, win rates, latency per provider
+1. **Verify Prebid Server demand** - Confirm configured bidders return expected test bids
+2. **Verify APS eligibility** - Confirm the test account, inventory identity, and `/e/pb/bid` endpoint are authorized
+3. **Exercise renderer security** - Run the APS browser integration suite for iframe and script creatives

-## Mock Provider Behavior
+## Provider Behavior
 
 ### APS (Amazon)
-- Returns bids for all slots
-- Default mock price: $2.50 CPM
-- Always returns 2 bids
-- Response time: ~80ms (simulated)
+- Sends real OpenRTB requests for eligible banner slots
+- Safely drops malformed, unsupported, or unrenderable bids and reports aggregate reasons
+- Reduces multiple APS candidates to one winner per impression
+- Returns typed renderer descriptors rather than exposing `adm` outside the sandbox
+- Automated tests intercept upstream traffic and use fictional response fixtures
 
 ### AdServer Mock
 - Acts as mediator by calling mocktioneer's mediation endpoint

Subject: [PATCH 173/494] Fix GPT display gating for responsive slots

Publishers may call googletag.display with a slot or element before the
initial request gate is released. Treating that argument as a string can
abort the request, while first-prefix slot resolution can target a hidden
responsive sibling.

Preserve the GPT display contract and resolve stable prefixes only when
one active element can be identified.

Subject: [PATCH 174/494] Register APS renderer via bid.meta so it survives
 Prebid field stripping

APS bids are bid-by-reference: interpretResponse sets the renderer descriptor on
the Prebid bid as the custom trustedServerRenderer field, and a bidResponse
listener registers it in window.tsjs.apsPrebidRenderers keyed by Prebid's
generated adId so the Universal Creative can later request it.

Prebid normalizes each bid into its own object during addBidResponse and drops
unknown top-level fields, so the custom field can be gone before the bidResponse
listener runs (observed in production: absent as early as bidAccepted). The
listener then saw renderer === undefined and returned without registering,
leaving the registry empty; the Universal Creative's request found nothing and
Prebid's default renderer threw "Missing ad markup or URL" (reason noAd) for
every APS bid.

Carry the descriptor in bid.meta as well. meta is a first-class field Prebid
preserves through normalization (bidderFactory assigns bid.meta onto the
normalized bid), and it is per bid, so multiple APS bids on the same imp each
keep their own descriptor. The bidResponse listener falls back to the meta copy
when the top-level field is absent and scrubs both copies unconditionally after
the registration attempt, keeping the executable capability only in the bounded
one-time registry.

Adds unit tests for registration via meta with the top-level field stripped,
distinct renderer registration for multiple APS bids on one imp, and that a
stripped bid carrying no descriptor registers nothing.

Subject: [PATCH 176/494] Close creative-processing bypass paths and fix
 opaque-origin click recovery

Address the second review round:

- Keep rewrite_creatives defaulting to true. The measurement behind this PR
  justifies making sanitization opt-in; flipping rewriting too would silently
  disable first-party proxying for every existing deployment and invert the
  rollback serialization contract. Only sanitize_creatives (default false) is
  new behavior.
- Suppress the PBS Cache fallback when a supplied creative is rejected by
  processing (script-only after sanitize, malformed, or over the 1 MiB cap).
  The GPT bridge renders the cached bid's original adm, so retaining the
  hb_cache_* coordinates would deliver exactly the markup processing refused.
  Cache coordinates now ship only for bids that supplied no creative.
- Parse the GET /first-party/proxy-rebuild query from uri().query() instead of
  the full URI: browsers via the Axum and Spin adapters deliver origin-form
  URIs, which url::Url::parse rejected before the 302 could be issued.
- Strip bidder <base> elements in the rewrite pass itself. Rewriting emits
  root-relative first-party URLs, and a bidder base href would rebase them
  onto a third-party origin; sanitization also removes <base> but is
  independently optional.
- Resolve click-guard URLs against a pinned document.baseURI instead of
  location.href, which is about:srcdoc inside the sandboxed creative iframe
  and rejects root-relative signed click URLs as a base. Navigation URLs are
  absolutized the same way.
- Never write the GET rebuild fallback into data-tsclick: it is the canonical
  signed click used to diff later mutation waves. href updates, the canonical
  source persists, and a second mutation wave still rebuilds.
- Share one hasOpaqueOrigin predicate between the click guard and dynamic
  signing; reference issue #982 (parent postMessage broker) from the code and
  the creative-processing guide's new runtime-protections note.
- Document upgrade sequencing (binary first, then config: old binaries reject
  blobs carrying sanitize_creatives), the per-mode 1 MiB cap, and the
  requirement to add both TOML leaves before environment overlays apply; add
  CLI coverage for the sanitize overlay.

@@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
-- **Breaking** — Auction creative processing is now fully opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` and the existing `[auction].rewrite_creatives` both default to `false`, so winning-bid `adm` ships exactly as the bidder returned it (subject to the 1 MiB per-creative cap) unless a flag is enabled. Deployments that relied on unconditional sanitization or default-on rewriting must set the flags explicitly before upgrading. The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter. Rollback: a `true` value is serialized into the config blob and older binaries reject unknown fields — before rolling back to a binary that predates a flag, set it to `false`, push the default-compatible blob, then roll back.
+- **Breaking** — Auction creative sanitization is now opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` defaults to `false` because unconditional sanitization blanked script-based creatives (the majority of programmatic display) while recording normal impressions. `[auction].rewrite_creatives` keeps its `true` default. The 1 MiB per-creative cap is now enforced in every processing mode, and a supplied creative that processing rejects no longer falls back to PBS Cache coordinates (which would deliver the raw cached `adm`). The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter, and dynamic resource signing inside those iframes is disabled pending [#982](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/982). Upgrading: binaries that predate `sanitize_creatives` reject a blob carrying it, so upgrade the binary first, then push the config. Rollback: non-default values (`sanitize_creatives = true`, `rewrite_creatives = false`) are serialized into the config blob and older binaries reject unknown fields — before rolling back to a binary that predates a field, restore its default, push the default-compatible blob, then roll back.
 - The SPA re-auction endpoint moved from `/__ts/page-bids` to `/_ts/page-bids`, joining every other internal route in the `/_ts/` namespace. The old path stays registered as a deprecated alias so already-loaded bundles keep serving ads, and responses on it carry a `Link: …; rel="deprecation"` header so remaining traffic is measurable from edge logs; removal is tracked in [#970](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/970). Two deployment notes: audit `[[handlers]]` for patterns broad enough to cover `/_ts` (for example `^/_ts`), which would put this browser-facing endpoint behind Basic Auth and return `401` to every visitor — scope them to `^/_ts/admin`; and prefer rolling forward over rolling back, since a server reverted past this release does not register the canonical path. In both cases the shipped client falls back to the deprecated alias, so the exposure is bounded until that alias is removed.

 ### Added
 
-- Added the `[auction].rewrite_creatives` and `[auction].sanitize_creatives` options, both default-false (opt-in). Enabling `rewrite_creatives` rewrites winning-bid adm to first-party endpoints across `POST /auction` and publisher SSAT/page-bids delivery (proxy/click URL conversion; creative TSJS injection on `POST /auction` only). Enabling `sanitize_creatives` strips executable markup from winning-bid adm before delivery.

-override), run `ts config validate`, push the resulting default-compatible
-blob, and only then roll back the binary.

-Deployments upgrading from a binary where sanitization was unconditional and
-rewriting defaulted to `true` must now opt in explicitly: add
-`sanitize_creatives = true` and/or `rewrite_creatives = true` under `[auction]`

+::: warning Existing configs, upgrade sequencing, and rollback
+Default values are omitted from stored JSON; non-default values
+(`sanitize_creatives = true`, `rewrite_creatives = false`) are serialized, and
+older `AuctionConfig` schemas reject unknown fields.
+
+**Upgrading:** binaries that predate `sanitize_creatives` reject a blob that
+carries it, so in a rolling deployment upgrade the binary **first**, then push
+a config with `sanitize_creatives = true` if you want sanitization. Between the
+binary upgrade and the config push, sanitization is off (the new default) —
+during that interval the creative iframe sandbox is the only isolation for
+`/auction` markup. There is no mixed-version-safe value that keeps the old
+unconditional sanitization: omission means "sanitize" on old code and "don't"
+on new code, while an explicit `true` fails startup on old code.
+
+**Rolling back:** before reverting to a binary that does not know a field,
+remove that field's non-default value (and any environment override), run
+`ts config validate`, push the resulting default-compatible blob, and only then
+roll back the binary.
+
+**Environment overlays:** EdgeZero v0.0.4 overlays cannot create missing TOML
+leaves. Existing configs must add **both** leaves under `[auction]`
+(`rewrite_creatives` and `sanitize_creatives`) before
+`TRUSTED_SERVER__AUCTION__REWRITE_CREATIVES` /
+`TRUSTED_SERVER__AUCTION__SANITIZE_CREATIVES` can take effect — an override for

Subject: [PATCH 177/494] Register APS renderer on bidAccepted and consolidate
 carrier rationale

- Register and scrub the APS renderer descriptor on bidAccepted, the first
  event after Prebid assigns adId, so bidResponse and analytics consumers of
  later events never observe the meta copy; the bidResponse pass remains as
  a fallback that no-ops once the bidAccepted pass has scrubbed.
- Guard the meta read with a narrow object check so a module overwriting
  meta with a non-object value cannot break registration or scrubbing.
- Consolidate the dual-carrier rationale onto APS_RENDERER_FIELD, stating
  the belt-and-braces intent of keeping the custom top-level copy; both
  call sites now reference it in one line.

Subject: [PATCH 183/494] Load the decoupled prebid shim in the APS renderer
 browser spec

The APS adapter spec loads the external Prebid bundle and assumed it
carries the tsjs shim (and the trustedServer adapter) inside it. Once
the shim is decoupled (PR #967) the external bundle is pure Prebid.js,
no adapter ever registers, and the in-page auction times out.

Detect the decoupled world through the window.__tsjs_prebid_bundle
manifest stamp and load dist/tsjs-prebid.js after the external bundle,
matching the script order the server actually serves. On a coupled
bundle the stamp is absent and the spec behaves exactly as before.

Subject: [PATCH 185/494] Harden the decoupled prebid shim against partial
 artifact loads

Address review feedback on the shim/bundle seam:

- Gate self-init on a loaded Prebid.js API: when the external bundle is
  missing, skip installRefreshHandler and user ID setup so publisher GPT
  refreshes keep their targeting instead of being cleared with no auction
  to refill them; cover the bail-out path with a test
- Stamp registered bidder codes (including aliases) derived from
  prebid.js metadata and validate client_side_bidders against them,
  retaining module names for audit output
- Make installPrebidNpm idempotent per page via a
  window.__tsjsPrebidShimInstalled sentinel
- Validate the window-global bundle manifest shape before use
- Warn once about an unstamped User ID manifest instead of once per
  configured module
- Add a processQueue watchdog to the generated bundle entry so pbjs.que
  still drains if the shim artifact fails to load
- Point the missing-adapter error at [integrations.prebid.bundle].adapters
  and ts prebid bundle
- Assert the external bundle script precedes the deferred shim in
  processed HTML
- Add an artifact integration test that builds and evaluates both
  production outputs together, plus a guard that the shim stays
  Prebid-free
- Delete the unused generated-module placeholders and document the
  lockstep bundle/server rollout

+The generated bundle is pure Prebid.js — core, consent modules, User ID
+modules, and the selected bid adapters. The Trusted Server shim
+(`tsjs-prebid`) is served separately by the server as a deferred script and
+installs itself onto the `window.pbjs` global the bundle populates. The two
+artifacts ship in lockstep: a bundle generated before the shim was split out

+regenerating and re-uploading the bundle (and pushing the updated

+rollout. The shim refuses to install twice on one page via the
+`window.__tsjsPrebidShimInstalled` sentinel.

 ## Debug Mode
 
 When `debug = true`, the Prebid integration enables additional diagnostics on both the outgoing OpenRTB request and the incoming response.

Subject: [PATCH 186/494] Refuse non-http(s) click navigation and fix test lint

CodeQL flagged the click guard's navigation and href-persist sinks: the
inputs are creative-controlled DOM attributes, so a javascript: value in
data-tsclick or href could reach location.href or be written back as an
anchor href. Resolve every candidate URL against the pinned trusted base and
require an http(s) scheme before navigating or persisting, failing closed
otherwise. Also replace an as-any cast in the new click test now that main
lints the full JS package (#984).

Subject: [PATCH 187/494] Persist validated absolute URLs in the click guard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CodeQL still flagged the href write in persistRebuiltClick: it validated the
candidate URL but then wrote the original creative-controlled string. Write
the sanitizer's resolved output instead — the http(s)-checked URL absolutized
against the pinned trusted base. Beyond closing the taint flow, an absolute
href keeps the anchor's default navigation working inside the srcdoc iframe,
where a relative value would resolve against about:srcdoc. Tests updated to
expect the absolute forms.

Subject: [PATCH 188/494] Close creative-delivery gaps found in the third
 review round
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Navigate the observer-repaired click. The mutation observer writes the GET
  rebuild fallback to href while keeping the canonical signed click in
  data-tsclick; a later click canonicalized the fallback against that
  canonical URL, failed the base comparison, and navigated the pre-mutation
  click. Remember the pending rebuild per anchor and navigate it, and skip
  no-op attribute writes that would otherwise wake the observer in a loop.
- Accept origin-form request targets in the shared signed-target parser.
  Browsers send /path?query and the Axum adapter forwards it verbatim, so
  url::Url::parse rejected it as relative — breaking /first-party/click,
  /first-party/proxy and GET /first-party/sign there, including the second
  hop of the new rebuild redirect chain.
- Inject the click-guard runtime into body-less creative fragments. lol_html
  matches no <body> in a bare fragment, so common adm shapes shipped without
  the guard while surviving bidder script could still mutate rewritten links.
- Bound rewritten output, not just raw input: rewriting expands every URL
  into a signed proxy/click URL, so a sub-cap creative could amplify well
  past it. Reject once the output exceeds the cap.
- Fail closed on rewriter errors instead of returning partially rewritten
  markup, matching the sanitizer.
- Treat an explicit empty adm as a supplied creative, not an absent one, so
  it cannot re-enable the raw PBS Cache fallback without a rejection.
- Stamp the first-party origin into the srcdoc document from the parent page
  and prefer it, then location.origin, over the inherited document.baseURI,
  which honours a publisher <base> and is not a trustworthy boundary.
- Allow proxied assets to load cross-origin. The opaque creative origin makes
  /first-party/proxy cross-origin, blocking CORS-mode subresources; assets
  are fetched without client credentials, so a wildcard allow is sound.
- Docs: correct the remaining stale auction-orchestration sections, note that
  #982 only affects deployments with renderGuard enabled, document the cache
  coordinate policy, and scope the Spin route test's comment to what it
  asserts.

 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
-- **Breaking** — Auction creative sanitization is now opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` defaults to `false` because unconditional sanitization blanked script-based creatives (the majority of programmatic display) while recording normal impressions. `[auction].rewrite_creatives` keeps its `true` default. The 1 MiB per-creative cap is now enforced in every processing mode, and a supplied creative that processing rejects no longer falls back to PBS Cache coordinates (which would deliver the raw cached `adm`). The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter, and dynamic resource signing inside those iframes is disabled pending [#982](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/982). Upgrading: binaries that predate `sanitize_creatives` reject a blob carrying it, so upgrade the binary first, then push the config. Rollback: non-default values (`sanitize_creatives = true`, `rewrite_creatives = false`) are serialized into the config blob and older binaries reject unknown fields — before rolling back to a binary that predates a field, restore its default, push the default-compatible blob, then roll back.
+- **Breaking** — Auction creative sanitization is now opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` defaults to `false` because unconditional sanitization blanked script-based creatives (the majority of programmatic display) while recording normal impressions. `[auction].rewrite_creatives` keeps its `true` default. The 1 MiB cap is now enforced on rewritten output as well as raw input and in every processing mode, rewriting fails closed on parser errors instead of emitting partial output, and `hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` are emitted only for bids that supplied no creative — any bid carrying its own `adm` ships without them, so a processed or rejected creative can never be re-fetched raw from PBS Cache. Creative markup with no `<body>` token now receives the click-guard runtime, and bidder `<base>` elements are stripped whenever rewriting is enabled. The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter, and dynamic resource signing inside those iframes is disabled pending [#982](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/982).

 - The SPA re-auction endpoint moved from `/__ts/page-bids` to `/_ts/page-bids`, joining every other internal route in the `/_ts/` namespace. The old path stays registered as a deprecated alias so already-loaded bundles keep serving ads, and responses on it carry a `Link: …; rel="deprecation"` header so remaining traffic is measurable from edge logs; removal is tracked in [#970](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/970). Two deployment notes: audit `[[handlers]]` for patterns broad enough to cover `/_ts` (for example `^/_ts`), which would put this browser-facing endpoint behind Basic Auth and return `401` to every visitor — scope them to `^/_ts/admin`; and prefer rolling forward over rolling back, since a server reverted past this release does not register the canonical path. In both cases the shipped client falls back to the deprecated alias, so the exposure is bounded until that alias is removed.

Subject: [PATCH 189/494] Add a real-browser regression test for the sandboxed
 creative click path

The srcdoc/opaque-origin conditions the click-guard recovery depends on
cannot be reproduced in jsdom: document.baseURI stays an ordinary http URL
and window.origin is a real origin, so the about:srcdoc branch and the
CORS-blocked POST are never exercised. The Playwright harness already runs
in CI, so pin the path there: build the sandboxed srcdoc the client builds
(stamped origin, runtime, root-relative signed click), mutate the link, click
it, and assert the iframe navigates to /first-party/proxy-rebuild carrying
the mutation.

+## Refresh Auction GAM-Path Opt-Out
+
+Use `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes` when a GAM slot must refresh for an
+impression or measurement purpose but must not participate in Trusted Server's
+Prebid refresh auction:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.prebid]
+excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly"]
+```
+
+Trusted Server reads each refreshed GPT slot's `getAdUnitPath()` and compares it to
+the configured suffixes with an exact, case-sensitive `endsWith()` match. A matching
+slot is omitted from the synthetic Prebid refresh ad units, but it remains in the
+original GPT refresh call. In a mixed global refresh, normal display slots still
+auction and receive refreshed Prebid targeting while excluded slots still refresh in
+GAM.
+
+Each suffix must be a non-empty slash-prefixed path with no surrounding whitespace.
+The root suffix (`"/"`) is rejected, as are suffixes without a leading slash; exact
+duplicates are injected once. Matching is literal: paths are not case-normalized or
+slash-normalized. Use a specific terminal GAM path segment, not a broad size rule or
+div ID.
+
+If GPT does not expose `getAdUnitPath()` for a slot or the getter fails, Trusted
+Server fails open and runs the normal refresh auction. The option affects only this
+Trusted Server GPT-refresh wrapper; it does not block direct publisher Prebid,
+APS, or other auction flows.
+
+The external Prebid bundle and the injected Trusted Server configuration must be
+rolled out together. Regenerate and upload the bundle with `ts prebid bundle`, then
+deploy the configuration containing the suffix list and its corresponding bundle
+URL/hash/SRI metadata. A new configuration paired with an old cached external bundle
+cannot apply the browser filter.
+
 ## Client-Side Bidders
 
 Some Prebid.js bid adapters do not work well through Prebid Server (e.g. Magnite/Rubicon). The `client_side_bidders` config field lets you keep these bidders running natively in the browser while routing all other bidders through the server-side auction.

+# Prebid Refresh GAM-Path Opt-Out Implementation Plan
+
+**Design:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-24-prebid-refresh-gam-path-opt-out-design.md`
+
+**Goal:** Let operators exclude selected GAM ad-unit-path suffixes from Trusted
+Server's Prebid refresh auctions without suppressing the corresponding GAM refresh.
+
+## Scope and constraints
+
+- Do not change publisher source, slot div IDs, or GAM configuration.
+- Do not edit `dist` output, minified assets, or an externally hosted Prebid bundle
+  by hand. `build-prebid-external.mjs`/`ts prebid bundle` are the supported build
+  path.
+- The mechanism is literal, case-sensitive GAM-path suffix matching; it is not a
+  size-based rule and does not add a div-ID fallback.
+- Preserve the current `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct pass-through before all new
+  work, including targeting cleanup.
+- Use only fictional paths and hostnames in checked-in tests and documentation.
+
+## Files
+
+**Modify:**
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs`
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts`
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`

+- this plan
+
+## Task 1 — Add and inject canonical Prebid configuration
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs`
+
+1. Add `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes: Vec<String>` to
+   `PrebidIntegrationConfig`, defaulting to an empty vector. Initialize it in
+   `base_config()` and every other explicit `PrebidIntegrationConfig` literal.
+2. Implement one shared validation/canonicalization path used by both `build()` and
+   `validate_config_for_startup()`:
+   - reject leading/trailing whitespace;
+   - reject empty/whitespace-only values;
+   - require a leading `/`;
+   - reject `/` itself;
+   - retain every other value literally;
+   - deduplicate exact valid entries, preserving first declaration order.
+     Put schema-level validation on the field so typed settings parsing produces a
+     useful configuration error, and retain the normalizer so the runtime payload is
+     canonical rather than merely valid.
+3. Extend the local `InjectedPrebidClientConfig` with a borrowed
+   `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes` field. Use the existing camel-case serde
+   convention and omit it when empty, producing
+   `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` only for a non-empty list.
+4. Add Rust tests next to the existing Prebid tests:
+   - omitted field defaults to empty;
+   - valid values parse and duplicate values inject once in first-occurrence order;
+   - empty, whitespace-padded, missing-leading-slash, and `/` inputs are rejected;
+   - the head injector includes the expected camel-case JSON when configured and
+     omits it by default.
+5. Run focused Prebid tests while iterating, then run the target-matched Rust test
+   commands required for the changed core configuration:
+
+   ```bash
+   cargo test-fastly
+   cargo test-axum
+   cargo test-cloudflare
+   cargo test-spin
+   ```
+
+## Task 2 — Filter only refresh-auction slots in the browser
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts`
+
+1. Add `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes?: string[]` to `InjectedPrebidConfig` and
+   `getAdUnitPath?: () => string` to `RefreshGptSlot`.
+2. Add a small private predicate that receives a slot and configured suffix set. It
+   must call `getAdUnitPath()` only when it exists, catch a getter exception, require
+   a string result, and use `path.endsWith(suffix)` for any configured suffix. A
+   missing, non-string, empty, or throwing getter returns `false` (fail open).
+3. In `installRefreshHandler()`, leave the
+   `window.tsjs?.adInitRefreshInProgress` branch byte-for-byte behaviorally first.
+   Keep target-slot resolution unchanged.
+4. Keep `targetSlots.forEach(clearRefreshTargeting)` before filtering. Build
+   `auctionSlots` from `targetSlots` by applying the new predicate.
+5. When `auctionSlots` is empty, call `originalRefresh(targetSlots, opts)`
+   immediately. Do not call `pbjs.requestBids()` or
+   `pbjs.setTargetingForGPTAsync()`.
+6. Otherwise, build synthetic ad units and `refreshAdUnitCodes` from
+   `auctionSlots` only. In the bids-back handler, target only those eligible codes,
+   then call `originalRefresh(targetSlots, opts)` so mixed refreshes retain excluded
+   slots in the GAM list.
+7. Do not alter `TS_REFRESH_TARGETING_KEYS`, size fallback logic, injected-slot
+   lookup, bidder-parameter recovery, or client-side-bid recovery except to ensure
+   they run only for eligible auction slots.
+
+## Task 3 — Cover refresh behavior with Vitest
+
+**Files:** `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`
+
+Add tests in the existing `prebid/installRefreshHandler` suite. Make the mocked
+`requestBids` invoke its callback synchronously only where post-auction behavior is
+being asserted.
+
+| Case                          | Assertions                                                                                                                                 |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Normal explicit slot          | Nonmatching path still creates an ad unit, requests bids, scopes targeting to its code, and refreshes after callback.                      |
+| Explicit excluded slot        | Each TS/Prebid key is cleared; no Prebid request/targeting call; original GPT refresh receives the same slot list and options immediately. |
+| All-excluded global refresh   | `getSlots()` supplies the concrete list; all targets are cleaned; no Prebid call; GPT receives the complete concrete list and options.     |
+| Mixed global refresh          | Both slots are cleaned; only the normal slot occurs in ad units and scoped targeting; GPT receives both slots after callback.              |
+| Missing getter                | Slot is auctioned and wrapper does not throw.                                                                                              |
+| Throwing or non-string getter | Slot is auctioned and wrapper does not throw.                                                                                              |
+| Literal semantics             | Case mismatch and trailing-slash mismatch do not exclude.                                                                                  |
+| Regression                    | Existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct-pass-through test and normal client-side bidder/param-recovery tests remain unchanged and green. |
+
+Run the JS suite after each change and format it:
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run
+npm run format
+```
+
+## Task 4 — Document the operator contract
+
+**Files:** `trusted-server.example.toml`, `docs/guide/integrations/prebid.md`
+
+1. Add a commented example of
+   `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly"]` to the example TOML.
+2. Add the field to the Prebid guide's configuration table and explain:
+   - it excludes only Trusted Server's GPT-refresh Prebid auction;
+   - GAM still refreshes the matching slot;
+   - matching is case-sensitive literal suffix matching via `getAdUnitPath()`;
+   - invalid/empty/root suffixes are rejected and a missing getter fails open;
+   - use a specific terminal path rather than a size or div-ID rule;
+   - mixed global refreshes still auction normal slots.
+3. Include the external-bundle/config rollout dependency and direct-Prebid/APS
+   non-goals. Do not add real inventory names, production domains, or tracking IDs.
+4. Format docs:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd docs && npm run format
+   ```
+
+## Task 5 — Final validation and rollout verification
+
+1. Inspect the complete diff; verify it contains no generated bundle edits and no
+   publisher-source changes.
+2. Run project gates relevant to the changed Rust, TypeScript, and docs surfaces:
+
+   ```bash
+   cargo fmt --all -- --check
+   cargo clippy-fastly
+   cargo clippy-axum
+   cargo clippy-cloudflare
+   cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm
+   cargo clippy-spin-native
+   cargo clippy-spin-wasm
+   cargo test-fastly
+   cargo test-axum
+   cargo test-cloudflare
+   cargo test-spin
+   cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run && npm run format
+   cd docs && npm run format
+   ```
+
+3. Regenerate the external browser bundle through the supported `ts prebid bundle`
+   workflow, upload the generated artifact, and update the operator-managed
+   URL/hash/SRI configuration. Deploy that bundle together with the Trusted Server
+   application/config carrying the suffix list.
+4. On a controlled staging page, use browser request instrumentation to verify:
+   - the injected browser config contains the expected suffixes;
+   - a matching path still produces a GAM request/impression but no refresh
+     `/auction` request;
+   - a normal display slot in a mixed global refresh does produce `/auction`, gets
+     scoped refreshed targeting, and GAM refreshes both slots;
+   - `disableInitialLoad()`/initial Trusted Server loading still uses the existing
+     `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct GPT path.
+5. Record deployed bundle hash, configuration version, test page, and observations
+   in the implementation handoff. Do not treat an unstable production page as the
+   sole verification environment.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- With no new configuration, refresh behavior is unchanged.
+- A configured matching GAM path is never included in a synthetic refresh auction,
+  but remains in the GPT refresh call.
+- An all-excluded refresh produces no `requestBids()` or targeting call.
+- A mixed refresh auctions and targets only eligible slots while refreshing every
+  requested GPT slot.
+- Stale Trusted Server/Prebid targeting is cleared from every target slot, and the
+  initial-load bypass remains untouched.
+- The deployed external bundle and injected configuration are version-compatible.

+# Prebid Refresh GAM-Path Opt-Out Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-24 · **Status:** Proposed
+
+**Scope:** Exclude selected GAM inventory from Trusted Server's Prebid refresh auctions while preserving GAM refreshes.
+
+## 1. Problem statement
+
+Trusted Server wraps publisher calls to `googletag.pubads().refresh()` and creates a
+fresh synthetic Prebid ad unit for every refreshed GPT slot. That is correct for
+display inventory, but it also sends tracking-only GAM slots to `/auction`. The
+production motivating case is a hidden 1×1 slot whose GAM ad-unit path ends in
+`/trackingonly`; its element ID is unstable and cannot be used as configuration.
+
+Operators need a configuration-only way to identify that inventory by its supported
+GAM ad-unit path and prevent **this refresh wrapper** from running a Trusted Server
+or native-Prebid refresh auction for it. GPT must still refresh the slot so GAM can
+record the tracking impression. Publishers must not change component source.
+
+The successful 2026-07-23 browser capture established that GPT exposes
+`slot.getAdUnitPath()` and returned `/88059007/autoblog/trackingonly` for the
+tracking slot. The capture also showed that the current wrapper included that slot
+in a `/auction` payload as a `[1, 1]` banner. The later 2026-07-24 failed probe is
+not a stable production test environment and is not used as behavioral evidence.
+
+## 2. Goals and non-goals
+
+### Goals
+
+- Add an operator-configured, suffix-based GAM-path exclusion mechanism.
+- Support explicit `refresh([slot], options)` and bare/global `refresh(options)`
+  calls.
+- Keep excluded slots in the final GPT refresh list and preserve refresh options.
+- Continue refreshing and auctioning non-excluded display slots, including in mixed
+  global refreshes.
+- Clear stale Trusted Server/Prebid targeting from every target slot before its GAM
+  refresh, including excluded slots.
+- Preserve the existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` direct-GAM bypass exactly.
+
+### Non-goals
+
+- Filtering by size, especially a broad 1×1 rule.
+- Matching or configuring div IDs, ad-slot IDs, CSS selectors, labels, or arbitrary
+  GPT targeting.
+- Suppressing GAM requests, GAM impressions, slot definitions, or initial ad loads.
+- Changing unrelated publisher Prebid, APS, or direct `/auction` flows.
+- Editing generated or minified Prebid bundles directly.
+- Changing Prebid adapter selection, bid-param overrides, or GAM line-item setup.
+
+## 3. Current call flow
+
+1. `installPrebidNpm()` registers the `trustedServer` Prebid adapter and wraps
+   `pbjs.requestBids()` so server-side bidder requests flow through it
+   (`crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts:514-669`).
+2. The adapter's `buildRequests()` serializes auction inputs and returns a POST to
+   `auctionEndpoint`, which defaults to `/auction`
+   (`index.ts:524-535`).
+3. `installRefreshHandler()` wraps `googletag.pubads().refresh()` after GPT loads
+   (`index.ts:726-818`). The wrapper:
+   - immediately passes through `adInitRefreshInProgress` requests;
+   - resolves explicit slots, or `pubads.getSlots()` for bare refreshes;
+   - clears `ts_initial`, `hb_pb`, `hb_bidder`, `hb_adid`, `hb_cache_host`, and
+     `hb_cache_path` from every resolved slot (`index.ts:43-50, 461-467`);
+   - creates one synthetic refresh ad unit per target slot;
+   - calls `pbjs.requestBids()`;
+   - scopes `setTargetingForGPTAsync()` to the synthetic codes; and
+   - calls the original GPT refresh after bids return.
+4. The refresh-slot type currently represents only element ID, targeting cleanup,
+   and sizes (`index.ts:260-265`). It does not expose GAM path metadata.
+5. Rust reads `integrations.prebid` into `PrebidIntegrationConfig`
+   (`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs:203-343`) and injects
+   browser config into `window.__tsjs_prebid` through the head injector
+   (`prebid.rs:1006-1041`). The injected TypeScript shape is declared at
+   `index.ts:62-87`.
+
+## 4. Configuration contract
+
+### 4.1 Operator API
+
+Add this optional field to `[integrations.prebid]`:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.prebid]
+# Keep GAM tracking inventory out of Trusted Server's Prebid refresh auctions.
+# GPT still refreshes these slots.
+excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes = ["/trackingonly", "/measurement-only"]
+```
+
+The field is an array because publishers may have multiple tracking-only paths and
+because selecting one suffix must not preclude a future suffix. Its default is `[]`.
+An omitted or empty array preserves today's behavior: every resolved refresh slot is
+auction-eligible.
+
+The configuration is intentionally in the existing Prebid integration rather than
+in GPT configuration: it controls whether the **Prebid refresh auction** runs and
+is serialized with the rest of the Prebid browser configuration.
+
+### 4.2 Validation and canonicalization
+
+Validate enabled Prebid configuration at startup and in `ts config validate` using
+a shared normalization helper before constructing `PrebidIntegration`:
+
+| Input                                     | Result                                                                                          |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Omitted or `[]`                           | Valid; no exclusions.                                                                           |
+| A suffix with leading/trailing whitespace | Reject; do not silently alter a path matcher.                                                   |
+| Empty or whitespace-only suffix           | Reject.                                                                                         |
+| Suffix not beginning with `/`             | Reject.                                                                                         |
+| `/`                                       | Reject; it would opt every slash-prefixed GAM path out and is not an inventory-specific suffix. |
+| Any other slash-prefixed string           | Valid literal suffix; trailing slashes, repeated slashes, and case are not normalized.          |
+| Exact duplicate valid strings             | Retain the first occurrence and remove later duplicates before injection.                       |
+
+The normalized list preserves first-occurrence declaration order. There is no
+case-folding, path parsing, URL decoding, slash collapsing, or trailing-slash
+normalization. This produces an auditable literal match and avoids accidental
+cross-inventory matching.
+
+The Rust schema remains a `Vec<String>` with `#[serde(default)]`; the implementation
+adds a custom validator plus one reusable normalizer so invalid values fail typed
+configuration validation and a valid duplicate list has one canonical runtime form.
+`build()` and `validate_config_for_startup()` must both use the normalizer, so the
+runtime and validation command cannot disagree. Existing Rust config literals must
+set the new field to `Vec::new()`.
+
+### 4.3 Browser injection
+
+Add an optional camel-case property to the serialized head-injected payload and to
+`InjectedPrebidConfig`:
+
+```ts
+interface InjectedPrebidConfig {
+  // existing fields
+  excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes?: string[]
+}
+```
+
+For a non-empty normalized list the server injects:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  window.__tsjs_prebid={"excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes":["/trackingonly","/measurement-only"],...};
+</script>
+```
+
+For `[]`, omit the property with `skip_serializing_if`, matching the existing
+`clientSideBidders` convention. A browser that receives no property treats it as an
+empty list. This makes upgrade and rollback backwards compatible: old configuration
+has no behavior change; an older external bundle safely ignores the extra injected
+property; and a newer bundle with old configuration has no exclusions.
+
+## 5. Matching and refresh behavior
+
+### 5.1 Match predicate
+
+Extend `RefreshGptSlot` with:
+
+```ts
+getAdUnitPath?: () => string;
+```
+
+At each publisher refresh, derive a `Set` from
+`getInjectedConfig()?.excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes ?? []`. A slot is excluded only
+when all of the following hold:
+
+1. The normalized set is non-empty.
+2. `slot.getAdUnitPath` is a function.
+3. Calling it returns a string.
+4. The returned GAM path `endsWith()` at least one configured suffix, using exact,
+   case-sensitive JavaScript string comparison.
+
+Do not derive paths from the element ID or injected `adSlots` metadata. Do not use
+`getSizes()` as a fallback. A missing getter, a non-string return value, an empty
+path, or a getter that throws is **fail-open**: the slot remains auction-eligible.
+The implementation catches only the getter failure around that call; it neither
+suppresses the GPT refresh nor broadens an exclusion because telemetry is absent.
+
+A matching path is excluded only from the synthetic refresh auction. It is not
+removed from GPT's target list.
+
+### 5.2 Required algorithm
+
+Keep the existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` check as the first branch, before slot
+resolution, targeting cleanup, and path inspection:
+
+```text
+if adInitRefreshInProgress:
+    originalRefresh(slots, options)
+    return
+
+targetSlots = explicit slots, or pubads.getSlots() for bare refresh
+if targetSlots is empty:
+    originalRefresh(slots, options)
+    return
+
+clear TS/Prebid refresh-targeting keys from every target slot
+auctionSlots = targetSlots excluding suffix-matched slots
+
+if auctionSlots is empty:
+    originalRefresh(targetSlots, options)
+    return
+
+adUnits = synthetic refresh ad units for auctionSlots only
+pbjs.requestBids({ adUnits, timeout, bidsBackHandler })
+bidsBackHandler:
+    pbjs.setTargetingForGPTAsync(auction-slot codes only)
+    originalRefresh(targetSlots, options)
+```
+
+Build candidate codes, recover publisher bidder params, and recover client-side bids
+only for `auctionSlots`; excluded slots must not be represented in `adUnits` at all.
+The existing scoped targeting behavior therefore continues to affect only eligible
+slots.
+
+### 5.3 Refresh sequences
+
+| Call and slot set                                        | Prebid behavior                                                                     | GPT behavior                                                                      |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `refresh([normal], options)`                             | Auction `normal`, target its synthetic code after bids return.                      | Refresh `[normal]` with the same options after the callback.                      |
+| `refresh([excluded], options)`                           | Clear TS/Prebid keys; do not call `requestBids()` or `setTargetingForGPTAsync()`.   | Immediately refresh `[excluded]` with the same options.                           |
+| Bare `refresh(options)`; all slots excluded              | Resolve `pubads.getSlots()`, clear their TS/Prebid keys, then make no Prebid calls. | Immediately refresh the resolved complete slot list with the same options.        |
+| Bare `refresh(options)`; mixed normal and excluded slots | Clear every target slot; auction and target only normal slots.                      | After the callback, refresh the complete resolved list, including excluded slots. |
+| Any refresh while `adInitRefreshInProgress` is true      | No cleanup, match, auction, or targeting.                                           | Directly pass through the original `slots` and options unchanged.                 |
+| Missing/throwing `getAdUnitPath()`                       | Treat the slot as normal and auction it.                                            | Existing post-auction refresh behavior.                                           |
+
+Passing the resolved list in the all-excluded and mixed cases is deliberate: it is
+the same concrete list used for cleanup and makes the final GAM refresh list
+explicit. The original options object is passed through unchanged.
+
+### 5.4 Targeting and initial-load invariants
+
+The cleanup step remains before filtering and is limited to the existing
+`TS_REFRESH_TARGETING_KEYS`. It removes stale Trusted Server/Prebid winner data
+from excluded slots so GAM cannot serve using an obsolete header-bid winner, while
+preserving GAM path metadata and every unrelated publisher targeting key.
+
+`adInitRefreshInProgress` continues to bypass cleanup and auctioning directly. This
+preserves `disableInitialLoad()` and the initial Trusted Server targeting handoff:
+that one internal refresh must deliver already-applied targeting to GAM instead of
+being converted into a client-side refresh auction.

+
+No generated `dist` file, minified external bundle, or publisher source file is a
+source-of-truth edit target.
+
+## 7. Test matrix
+
+### Rust configuration and injection
+
+- Default/omitted field yields `Vec::new()` and omits
+  `excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` from injected JSON.
+- A valid array parses, normalizes exact duplicates to one entry in declaration
+  order, and injects the expected camel-case array.
+- Empty, whitespace-padded, whitespace-only, missing-leading-slash, and `/` values
+  fail enabled Prebid configuration validation with field-specific errors.
+- Existing Prebid config/head-injector tests continue to pass with the new empty
+  field initialized in helper literals.
+
+### Browser refresh wrapper
+
+- Normal explicit slot with a nonmatching path still calls `requestBids()`, creates
+  its ad unit, scopes targeting to its code, and refreshes it after the callback.
+- Explicit matching slot clears each existing TS/Prebid key, does not call
+  `requestBids()` or `setTargetingForGPTAsync()`, and immediately calls original
+  GPT refresh with the exact slot array and options.
+- Global all-excluded slots resolve through `getSlots()`, clear every target, make
+  no Prebid calls, and refresh the complete resolved list with options.
+- Global mixed slots clear both categories, auction only eligible slots, scope
+  targeting to eligible synthetic codes, and refresh the complete list after bids
+  return.
+- Missing `getAdUnitPath`, non-string path, and a throwing getter each fail open to
+  the normal auction path without throwing from the wrapper.
+- Case mismatch and a trailing-slash mismatch do not exclude, proving literal
+  case-sensitive suffix behavior.
+- Existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` test still proves direct pass-through without
+  cleanup or auction; existing normal refresh and client-side-bid recovery tests
+  remain green.
+
+## 8. External bundle and browser verification
+
+`crates/trusted-server-js/lib/build-prebid-external.mjs` is the supported source
+build path for the immutable external Prebid bundle; `build-all.mjs` intentionally
+does not build Prebid. Implementers must change TypeScript source and regenerate a
+new external bundle through the supported `ts prebid bundle` workflow (or its
+underlying supported generator), not edit a generated/minified asset.
+
+Roll out the application/config and the regenerated external bundle together:
+
+1. Build and test the source change.
+2. Generate and upload the new external bundle.
+3. Update the operator bundle URL/hash/SRI metadata as required by the existing
+   bundle workflow and deploy the Trusted Server application/config containing the
+   suffix list.
+4. Verify the first-party bundle URL resolves to the new bytes and the injected
+   `window.__tsjs_prebid.excludedGamAdUnitPathSuffixes` has the expected values.
+5. In browser instrumentation, verify a matching slot calls GPT refresh without a
+   corresponding Trusted Server refresh `/auction` request, while a normal display
+   slot in the same global refresh still produces `/auction` and receives refreshed
+   Prebid targeting.
+6. Verify GAM records the excluded slot's request/impression. Use a controlled
+   staging page or harness rather than relying on the unstable production host.
+
+A config-only deployment with an old cached external bundle cannot apply the browser
+filter; a bundle-only deployment without the injected configuration remains a no-op.
+
+## 9. Operational caveats and risks
+
+- The exclusion is limited to Trusted Server's wrapper around GPT refresh. It does
+  not block a publisher's unrelated direct `pbjs.requestBids()`, APS calls, direct
+  `/auction` use, or any other auction wrapper.
+- The feature relies on GPT's supported `getAdUnitPath()` API. A missing or throwing
+  getter deliberately fails open, which may continue auctioning a tracking slot
+  rather than risk silently suppressing display inventory.
+- Literal suffix matching can be over-broad if an operator chooses a generic suffix
+  such as `/only`; use a unique terminal GAM path segment and validate on a staging
+  page. `/` is rejected, but other overly broad valid values remain an operator
+  responsibility.
+- Excluded slots have only Trusted Server/Prebid targeting cleared; unrelated GAM
+  targeting and GAM request behavior are intentionally untouched.
+- Browser code and injected config must reach the same deployed page. Cache/version
+  rollout mistakes are the primary operational risk.

 Auction traffic at `/auction` is protected by default.
 
+### IP-excluded client-side tag behavior
+
+On the Fastly adapter, a request that matches an IP-based DataDome exclusion
+also omits Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side DataDome tag
+from processed HTML. This keeps the client-side layer consistent with the
+server-side Protection API skip.
+
+This behavior applies to:
+
+- `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`;
+- `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`;
+- structured `ip_cidr` rules; and
+- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules.
+
+ASN, method, path, query-parameter, static-asset, and internal-route
+exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side tag. DataDome tags
+already present in publisher HTML are not removed or changed by this behavior,
+and `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available when requested directly.
+
+Because the processed HTML differs by client IP, tag-suppressed HTML is marked
+`private, max-age=0` and removed from shared surrogate caches. The decision is
+reported in the existing protection log, for example:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
 ### Structured exclusion rules
 
 Use structured rules for all DataDome protection exclusions. Each rule has an `id`, optional `methods`, and a typed matcher. The default configuration includes a `path_regex` rule for common static assets.

+# DataDome IP-excluded client tag suppression — Implementation Plan
+
+> **Status:** Approved for implementation
+>
+> **For implementers:** Work task by task and keep the workspace buildable.
+> Follow `CLAUDE.md`: use target-matched Cargo aliases, do not use bare
+> workspace tests, and do not add an internal HTTP header for request state.
+
+**Goal:** When Fastly's authoritative client IP matches a DataDome IP exclusion,
+skip the Protection API call and omit only Trusted Server's automatically
+injected DataDome client tag from every processed HTML response.
+
+**Issue:** #994
+**Design:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag-design.md`
+
+## Approved behavior
+
+| Request condition                                             | Protection API  | Trusted Server auto-injected tag | Publisher-originated tag |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
+| Inline IP CIDR match                                          | Skipped         | Omitted                          | Unchanged                |
+| Config Store IP CIDR-source match                             | Skipped         | Omitted                          | Unchanged                |
+| Structured `ip_cidr` match                                    | Skipped         | Omitted                          | Unchanged                |
+| Structured `ip_cidr_source` match                             | Skipped         | Omitted                          | Unchanged                |
+| ASN, method, path, query, static, or internal-route exclusion | Skipped         | Preserved                        | Unchanged                |
+| No exclusion match                                            | Called normally | Preserved                        | Unchanged                |
+| Protection API fail-open                                      | Continued       | Preserved                        | Unchanged                |
+
+The Fastly-only scope means that other adapters receive the default
+non-suppressed value. Do not add a configuration option and do not modify their
+request-filter wiring.
+
+## Runtime contracts
+
+1. **Trusted identity source:** determine exclusion from
+   `RuntimeServices::client_info().client_ip`, never a caller-provided header.
+2. **Single evaluation:** use the existing `ProtectionScope` decision. Do not
+   evaluate CIDRs a second time while injecting HTML; this avoids diverging
+   Config Store/cache behavior.
+3. **Private marker:** communicate the decision with a typed request extension,
+   never a request/response header. The marker cannot leak to the origin or
+   client.
+4. **Precise scope:** tag suppression is keyed only on decision reasons
+   `client_ip`, `client_ip_source`, `ip_cidr`, and `ip_cidr_source`.
+5. **Cache safety:** an HTML response with the tag omitted differs by client IP.
+   A suppressed processed HTML response must be `private, max-age=0` and have
+   `Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` removed. Do not alter
+   cache headers when the response is not processed HTML, because this feature
+   does not alter that body.
+6. **No behavior drift:** DataDome proxy endpoints, response-header effects,
+   `rewrite_sdk`, and DataDome tags that were already in origin HTML retain
+   their current behavior.

+
+## Task 1: Make the request-filter input capable of private annotations
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+- Test: its existing `#[cfg(test)]` module
+
+The current `RequestFilterInput` holds `&Request<EdgeBody>`. Change it to hold
+`&mut Request<EdgeBody>` so a request filter can add a typed extension. This is
+the narrowest safe transport because the registry already has exclusive mutable
+access to the request while it invokes each filter.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a regression test for an extension-producing filter.** Create
+      a test-only zero-sized marker and filter that writes it to
+      `input.request.extensions_mut()`. Run `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`
+      and assert the original mutable request has the marker afterward. In the
+      same test, verify normal `RequestFilterEffects` still apply their request
+      header mutation and return their response header mutation.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Change `RequestFilterInput::request` to a mutable borrow.** Keep
+      the `IntegrationRequestFilter` method signature and `RequestFilterEffects`
+      unchanged.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`.** Pass its existing
+      `&mut Request` directly to each `RequestFilterInput`. Keep the ordering:
+      filter mutation first, then registry-applied request-header effects, then
+      the next filter.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update all direct filter tests and test filters.** Calls that build
+      `RequestFilterInput` must construct a mutable request and pass
+      `request: &mut request`. Read-only filters should continue to compile by
+      simply not mutating the request.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly integrations::registry
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** a filter can retain a typed marker for downstream route handling
+without emitting a synthetic `x-*` header, and existing header effects retain
+their behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Mark IP-based DataDome exclusions and log the outcome
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+- Reuse: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection_scope.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a crate-private marker in `datadome.rs`.** Define a
+      zero-sized type with a behavior-oriented name, such as
+      `DataDomeClientTagSuppressed`. It must be visible to `publisher.rs` and
+      `protection.rs` through `pub(crate)`, but must not be exported as public
+      integration configuration or API.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add an IP-reason predicate beside protection logging.** Centralize
+      the exact four eligible scope reasons in one helper:
+
+```rust
+matches!(reason, "client_ip" | "client_ip_source" | "ip_cidr" | "ip_cidr_source")
+```
+
+      Do not infer eligibility from rule ID: Config Store source rule IDs are
+      operator-configured strings.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make `filter_protection_request` own a mutable input and pass it
+      mutably to `is_request_protected`.** In the existing
+      `ProtectionScopeDecision::Skip` arm:
+
+  1. determine whether the reason is IP-based;
+  2. if so, insert the typed marker into `input.request.extensions_mut()`;
+  3. call the updated skip logger with `client_tag_omitted = true`; and
+  4. return `false` exactly as today so the Protection API is not called.
+
+     Do not set the marker for the early method/integration/internal-route
+     returns. Do not set it when the API call returns a fail-open error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `log_protection_skip`.** Keep IP exclusions at `info` and
+      non-IP exclusions at `debug`. For the IP branch, extend the existing
+      structured text after the reason with `client_tag=omitted`; retain rule,
+      reason, method, host, and path, but do not include the client IP. The
+      desired shape is:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add filter-level marker tests.** Add small helpers in the
+      protection test module to build `RuntimeServices` with a fixed client IP,
+      optional Config Store data, and a mutable request. For each case, call
+      `filter_protection_request`, assert it returns `Continue`, and inspect the
+      request extension:
+
+  - inline `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs` match → marker present;
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources` match → marker present;
+  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidr` match → marker present;
+  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidrSource` match → marker present.
+
+    Clear the process-global CIDR-source test cache before and after source
+    tests so cached values cannot affect another case.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add negative filter-level tests.** Assert the marker is absent
+      for a non-matching IP, a configured ASN match, a structured path match,
+      a structured query match, an excluded method, and an internal/integration
+      route. Reuse the existing `ProtectionScope` unit tests for matching
+      semantics; these new tests verify only the new side effect.
+- [ ] **Step 7: Preserve API-call behavior.** For an IP marker test, use an HTTP
+      client double that records calls or errors if called. Assert no Protection
+      API request is sent. This protects against accidentally marking a request
+      while still invoking DataDome.
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly datadome::protection
+cargo test-fastly datadome::protection_scope
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** only the four IP decision reasons add the private marker and
+produce the augmented informational skip log; all other exclusion and fail-open
+paths keep their current tag behavior.

+
+## Task 3: Thread suppression through publisher response processing
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+- Test: `publisher.rs` and `html_processor.rs` test modules
+
+### Data flow to implement
+
+```text
+DataDomeClientTagSuppressed request extension
+  -> bool captured by handle_publisher_request before origin dispatch
+  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
+  -> ProcessResponseParams / HtmlStreamProcessorParams
+  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
+  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
+  -> DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Capture the marker once in `handle_publisher_request`.** Read
+      `req.extensions().get::<DataDomeClientTagSuppressed>().is_some()` before
+      `req` is rewritten and moved into `PlatformHttpRequest`. Store the boolean
+      only in the `PublisherResponse::Stream` parameters, because that is the
+      only response route that passes through HTML injection.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add a boolean to the owned and borrowed publisher-processing
+      parameter structs.** Add a clearly named field such as
+      `suppress_datadome_client_side_tag` to:
+
+  - `OwnedProcessResponseParams`;
+  - `ProcessResponseParams`; and
+  - `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`.
+
+    Pass it through all three existing HTML construction sites:
+
+  - `PublisherBodyProcessor::new` for async buffered processing;
+  - `process_response_streaming` for synchronous processing; and
+  - `stream_publisher_body_async` for the Fastly streaming auction-hold path.
+
+    Every test fixture that constructs `OwnedProcessResponseParams` directly
+    must set `false` unless it explicitly exercises suppression.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `HtmlProcessorConfig`.** Add the same boolean, default it
+      to `false` in `from_settings`, and add a narrow builder method used by
+      `create_html_stream_processor`. Update direct `HtmlProcessorConfig`
+      fixtures and the benchmark fixture to set `false` explicitly.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extend `IntegrationHtmlContext`.** Add the boolean as immutable
+      request-scoped context. Populate it at both construction sites in
+      `html_processor.rs`:
+
+  - the streaming `<head>` element handler; and
+  - `HtmlWithPostProcessing::process_chunk` for full-document post-processors.
+
+    Update every test helper that constructs `IntegrationHtmlContext` to set
+    `false` by default.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add plumbing tests.**
+
+  - `HtmlProcessorConfig::from_settings` defaults to non-suppressed.
+  - A test head injector records the context flag and sees `true` when a config
+    is built with suppression.
+  - A `publisher.rs` route test inserts the DataDome marker into a request,
+    receives a processable HTML `PublisherResponse::Stream`, and verifies the
+    owned parameters carry `true`.
+  - A buffered and a streaming-body path both preserve `true` to head injection.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly html_processor
+cargo test-fastly publisher
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** the decision is read once from a private request extension and
+is available to every head injector for every processed HTML response, including
+Fastly's streaming path.
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Omit only Trusted Server's injected DataDome tag
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs` or `publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a direct head-injector regression test.** With a client-side
+      key configured and `ctx.suppress_datadome_client_side_tag = true`, assert
+      `head_inserts()` returns an empty vector. The same config with `false`
+      must still return exactly one snippet containing both `window.ddjskey` and
+      the configured tag URL.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement the guard as the first condition in
+      `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts`.** Return an empty vector when the
+      context flag is true; otherwise retain all current serialization,
+      escaping, blank-key, and `inject_client_side_tag` behavior unchanged.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add an end-to-end HTML pipeline test.** Configure the DataDome
+      integration with a client-side key, process representative HTML with
+      suppression enabled, and assert the result contains neither:
+
+```text
+window.ddjskey=
+/integrations/datadome/tags.js
+```
+
+      Repeat with suppression disabled and assert both appear.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Pin publisher-originated-tag behavior.** Feed origin HTML that
+      contains a DataDome `tags.js` element. With suppression enabled, assert
+      that element remains in output and is rewritten by `rewrite_sdk` exactly
+      as before. This distinguishes automatic injection from origin markup.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Pin direct route behavior.** Retain or add a DataDome proxy test
+      showing that `GET /integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains registered and
+      fetches/proxies the SDK normally; suppression affects only HTML injection.
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly datadome
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** suppression removes only the generated configuration/script
+pair; nothing removes publisher markup or disables DataDome endpoints.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Make tag-suppressed processed HTML private
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+The automatic tag makes the processed HTML vary by client IP. Cache privacy is
+therefore a correctness and protection requirement, not an optional
+optimization.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a failing cache-privacy test.** Build a `PublisherResponse`
+      with a processable HTML content type, suppression `true`, and cacheable
+      origin headers (`Cache-Control`, `Surrogate-Control`, and
+      `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`). Assert the stream response is:
+
+  - `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0`; and
+  - missing both surrogate cache headers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Apply privacy only in the `ResponseRoute::Stream` HTML arm.**
+      After response classification confirms a processable HTML stream, use the
+      existing per-user ad-stack policy as the model. Do not alter cache headers
+      for CSS, RSC, non-processable pass-through, unsupported encodings, HEAD,
+      204/205/304, or responses without suppression: none has a body variation
+      created by this feature.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add non-regression cache tests.** Verify that:
+
+  - non-suppressed processed HTML keeps its existing cache headers unless
+    another existing policy changes them;
+  - a suppressed CSS/non-HTML stream is not made private by this feature; and
+  - existing ad-stack privacy behavior remains unchanged when both features are
+    active.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** a shared cache cannot replay an IP-excluded client's tagless
+HTML to a non-excluded visitor, while unchanged responses retain their existing
+cacheability.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Add Fastly-path regression coverage
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs` tests only if the
+  existing dispatch helpers can exercise the DataDome registry with a stubbed
+  publisher response.
+- Otherwise, document the existing core filter + publisher pipeline tests as
+  the executable behavioral coverage; do not refactor Fastly production code
+  merely to enable a duplicate test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Extend the existing Fastly request-filter dispatch regression
+      test or add a focused equivalent.** Configure a DataDome request filter,
+      insert trusted `ClientInfo` into the request extensions with a matching
+      IP, and confirm the filter runs before publisher routing.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Assert that the routed request retains the private DataDome
+      marker.** The assertion must inspect request extensions or the processed
+      HTML result, not an HTTP header.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Ensure no actual DataDome API call occurs for the matching IP.**
+      Use a recording/failing HTTP client or the existing Fastly test seam.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the non-matching counterpart.** It must not receive the
+      marker and must continue to inject the configured tag when HTML is
+      processed.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run Fastly adapter tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** the production adapter's actual filter ordering preserves the
+marker from authoritative Fastly client metadata through publisher HTML
+processing. If the current test seam cannot stub a full origin response, retain
+this as focused request-filter-order coverage and rely on Task 3's core
+pipeline tests for body output rather than expanding adapter production code.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Document operator-visible behavior
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
+- Do not modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a subsection adjacent to “Protected traffic” or “Client-side
+      setup.”** State that, on Fastly, an IP exclusion skips the Protection API
+      and suppresses only Trusted Server's automatic DataDome tag injection on
+      processed HTML.
+- [ ] **Step 2: List the four covered IP sources.** Use the exact configuration
+      names and structured rule types.
+- [ ] **Step 3: State the exclusions that do not suppress the client tag.** ASN,
+      method, path, query, static-asset, and internal-route exclusions retain
+      normal auto-injection.
+- [ ] **Step 4: State the limits.** Publisher-originated/manual tags are not
+      removed; `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available; no new
+      configuration is required; and tag-suppressed processed HTML is private
+      to prevent shared-cache replay.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the diagnostic example.** Use an example-only host/IP and
+      include `client_tag=omitted` with rule and reason.
+- [ ] **Step 6: Format-check the changed documentation.**
+
+```bash
+cd docs
+npx prettier --check guide/integrations/datadome.md \
+  superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag-design.md \
+  superpowers/plans/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag.md
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** operators can predict exactly when the tag will be omitted and
+understand that this is an IP-based Fastly behavior, not a general exclusion
+side effect.
+
+---
+
+## Final verification
+
+- [ ] Confirm the working tree contains only the intended core, Fastly-test,
+      guide, spec, and plan changes.
+- [ ] Run formatting.
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+```
+
+- [ ] Run the relevant target-matched test suites.
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly
+cargo test-axum
+cargo test-cloudflare
+```
+
+- [ ] Run required lint suites.
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy-fastly
+cargo clippy-axum
+cargo clippy-cloudflare
+```
+
+- [ ] Run the docs check from Task 7.
+- [ ] Review the diff for accidental exposure of the marker as a request or
+      response header, duplicate CIDR evaluation, unintended publisher-tag
+      removal, or shared-cacheable tag-suppressed HTML.
+
+## Deferred acceptance
+
+Do **not** perform live production/browser verification in this change. After
+deployment, the separate testing workflow should verify that a matching

+# DataDome IP-excluded client tag suppression
+
+**Issue:** #994
+**Date:** 2026-08-03
+**Status:** Proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Trusted Server has two DataDome protection layers:
+
+1. Server-side Protection API validation, which can be skipped for configured
+   client IP CIDRs.
+2. Client-side tag auto-injection, which adds `window.ddjskey`,
+   `window.ddoptions`, and the configured `tags.js` script to processed HTML.
+
+When a request matches an IP-based server-side exclusion, the Protection API is
+skipped, but the client-side tag is currently still injected. The browser can
+therefore continue running client-side DataDome protection for a request that
+was explicitly whitelisted at Trusted Server.
+
+The desired behavior is that Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based DataDome
+exclusion also omit Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side tag.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Suppress Trusted Server's automatically injected DataDome client-side tag for
+  Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based protection exclusion.
+- Reuse the existing authoritative protection-scope decision.
+- Cover all supported IP-based exclusion mechanisms:
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`
+  - structured `ip_cidr` rules
+  - structured `ip_cidr_source` rules
+- Preserve current behavior for non-IP exclusions.
+- Leave publisher-originated or manually configured DataDome tags untouched.
+- Add an informational diagnostic indicating that the client tag is omitted.
+- Keep the implementation independent of caller-supplied IP headers.
+- Prevent a shared cache from replaying IP-specific, tag-suppressed HTML to
+  non-excluded visitors.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not add a configuration flag or make this behavior opt-in.
+- Do not change Axum, Cloudflare, or Spin request-filter wiring. This behavior
+  is intentionally scoped to the Fastly adapter, where the DataDome server-side
+  request filter is currently run.
+- Do not suppress DataDome tags that originate in publisher HTML.
+- Do not remove or disable the `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` route.
+- Do not change DataDome signal-collection proxy behavior.
+- Do not change ASN, path, query-parameter, method, static-asset, or internal
+  route exclusions.
+- Do not perform live production verification as part of implementation.
+
+## Confirmed decisions
+
+1. **Adapter scope:** Fastly only.
+2. **IP scope:** all four IP-based exclusion mechanisms listed above.
+3. **Tag scope:** Trusted Server's auto-injected tag only.
+4. **HTML scope:** every HTML response that enters the existing HTML processing
+   pipeline.
+5. **Logging:** enrich the existing IP-exclusion skip log with
+   `client_tag=omitted`, including the matched rule and reason.
+6. **Live testing:** deferred until after implementation and deployment/testing
+   workflow review.
+
+## Current architecture
+
+### Server-side protection
+
+`DataDomeIntegration::is_request_protected()` in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` evaluates
+method, internal-route, ASN, IP, and structured exclusion conditions. It uses
+the client IP from `RuntimeServices::client_info()`, which is populated from
+trusted Fastly request metadata. It does not use a caller-supplied IP header.
+
+The current function reduces the protection-scope result to a boolean. For an
+IP exclusion it logs the skip and returns `false`, causing the request filter to
+continue without calling the Protection API.
+
+The Fastly EdgeZero fallback path runs this request filter before route
+selection and publisher proxying. The request continues into
+`handle_publisher_request()` after the filter returns a continue decision.
+
+### Client-side injection
+
+`DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()` in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` emits the client-side
+snippet when:
+
+- `inject_client_side_tag` is true; and
+- `client_side_key` is non-empty.
+
+The injector currently receives `IntegrationHtmlContext`, which contains HTML
+host/scheme and document state but no request IP or protection decision.
+
+The publisher response path carries request-specific values through:
+
+```text
+Request
+  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
+  -> HtmlStreamProcessorParams
+  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
+  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
+  -> IntegrationHeadInjector
+```
+
+The existing DataDome attribute rewriter separately rewrites DataDome URLs
+found in publisher HTML. That behavior must remain unchanged.
+
+## Design
+
+### 1. Capture an IP-exclusion marker at the request filter
+
+The request filter must attach a typed, internal request-scoped marker when the
+existing protection-scope evaluation returns a skip for one of these reasons:
+
+- `client_ip`
+- `client_ip_source`
+- `ip_cidr`
+- `ip_cidr_source`
+
+The marker must be attached only after the existing scope decision confirms the
+IP exclusion. It must not be inferred from request headers or recomputed later
+in the HTML pipeline.
+
+The request-filter API currently exposes an immutable request view. Add the
+smallest internal mechanism needed for a filter to attach a typed request
+extension without introducing a caller-visible header. Header mutations should
+continue to use `RequestFilterEffects` as they do today.
+
+The marker should be a zero-sized or otherwise minimal internal type. It only
+needs to answer whether Trusted Server's DataDome client tag should be
+suppressed; the existing skip log supplies the rule ID and reason.
+
+The marker must not be attached for:
+
+- `OPTIONS` or other excluded methods before scope evaluation;
+- internal or integration routes;
+- ASN exclusions;
+- path, query, or other non-IP structured exclusions;
+- unmatched IP rules;
+- Protection API fail-open behavior; or
+- requests where `enable_protection` is false and the request filter does not
+  run.
+
+### 2. Enrich the existing skip log
+
+For IP-based skips, extend the existing informational log with
+`client_tag=omitted`:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
+The existing rule ID, reason, and request metadata remain part of the log.
+Client IP values are not included. Non-IP skip logs retain their current
+behavior and level.
+
+This log represents the request policy decision. It may also apply to a
+non-HTML response, for which no HTML tag would have been injected anyway.
+
+### 3. Propagate the marker into HTML processing
+
+Before the publisher request is moved into the platform HTTP client, snapshot
+whether the request carries the marker. Carry that request-scoped boolean
+through `OwnedProcessResponseParams`, `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`, and
+`HtmlProcessorConfig`.
+
+The value should default to `false` in all existing constructors and direct
+unit-test fixtures. Non-Fastly adapters will naturally retain the default
+because they do not currently produce the Fastly request-filter marker.
+
+Expose the value to head injectors through the existing HTML processing context
+or equivalent request-scoped integration context. The propagation must work for
+both:
+
+- the normal buffered HTML path; and
+- the streaming HTML path, including the auction-hold path.
+
+The value is irrelevant for non-HTML, RSC, pass-through, and unmodified
+responses, which should retain their current processing.
+
+### 4. Keep IP-specific HTML out of shared cache
+
+A processed HTML response differs by client IP when the generated tag is
+suppressed. In the `PublisherResponse::Stream` path, when suppression is active
+and the response is HTML, set `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0` and remove
+`Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` before the body is streamed.
+
+This matches the existing per-user ad-stack cache policy. It prevents Fastly or
+another shared cache from replaying a tag-suppressed response to a visitor whose
+IP does not match an exclusion. Do not change cache headers for non-HTML,
+pass-through, or unmodified responses because their output does not vary by this
+feature.
+
+### 5. Suppress only the generated DataDome snippet
+
+At the start of `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()`:
+
+1. Check the request-scoped suppression marker.
+2. If present, return no DataDome head inserts.
+3. Otherwise preserve the current `inject_client_side_tag` and
+   `client_side_key` checks and emit the existing snippet unchanged.
+
+When suppression is active, omit both:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  window.ddjskey=...;window.ddoptions=...;
+</script>
+<script src="/integrations/datadome/tags.js" async></script>
+```
+
+Do not alter:
+
+- publisher-originated DataDome script tags;
+- `rewrite_sdk` behavior;
+- the DataDome SDK proxy route;
+- the signal collection API proxy;
+- DataDome configuration serialization for non-suppressed requests; or
+- injection behavior for requests without the marker.
+
+## Testing plan
+
+### Protection-filter tests
+
+Add or extend tests in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` to verify
+that the marker is attached for:
+
+- a matching inline IPv4 CIDR;
+- a matching Config Store-backed CIDR source;
+- a matching structured `ip_cidr` rule; and
+- a matching structured `ip_cidr_source` rule.
+
+Verify that the marker is absent for:
+
+- a non-matching IP;
+- an ASN exclusion;
+- a path exclusion;
+- a query-parameter exclusion;
+- an excluded method; and
+- an internal or integration route.
+
+Verify the existing protection behavior remains unchanged: IP-matched requests
+continue without a Protection API call.
+
+### Head-injector tests
+
+Add tests in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` verifying that:
+
+- a configured client tag is omitted when suppression is active;
+- a configured client tag is emitted when suppression is inactive;
+- a blank client-side key remains a no-op; and
+- `inject_client_side_tag = false` remains a no-op.
+
+### HTML pipeline tests
+
+Add coverage for the request-scoped value flowing through the HTML processor,
+including the streaming path. Confirm that a suppressed processed HTML response
+contains neither the injected `window.ddjskey` configuration nor the configured
+DataDome `tags.js` script. For a suppressed HTML stream, assert the response is
+private and has no surrogate cache headers. Confirm a non-suppressed HTML stream
+retains its origin cache behavior.
+
+Confirm that publisher-originated DataDome tags remain in the output and are
+still rewritten according to the existing `rewrite_sdk` behavior.
+
+### Fastly dispatch tests
+
+Add a Fastly adapter dispatch test with:
+
+- DataDome protection enabled;
+- a client IP matching an inline exclusion;
+- a configured client-side key; and
+- an HTML publisher response.
+
+The test should verify that the request continues without a Protection API
+call, the response includes the `client_tag=omitted` decision log through the
+existing test logging seam where available, and the generated tag is absent.
+
+Also cover a non-excluded request to confirm the generated tag remains present.
+
+## Documentation changes
+
+Update `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md` to state that IP-excluded Fastly
+requests skip both:
+
+- server-side Protection API validation; and
+- Trusted Server's automatic client-side tag injection.
+
+Document that this does not remove or disable publisher-originated DataDome
+tags, and that non-IP exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side
+tag.
+
+No configuration template changes are required because this behavior has no
+new setting.
+
+## Files expected to change
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+  - Support the internal request-scoped annotation mechanism.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+  - Define the marker and conditionally suppress head injection.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+  - Attach the marker for IP-based scope skips and enrich the skip log.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs` or the relevant
+  HTML context definition
+  - Carry the suppression decision into head injection.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`
+  - Carry the request-scoped value into HTML integration context.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+  - Snapshot and propagate the request marker through response processing.
+- `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
+  - Document the behavior.
+- Relevant unit and Fastly adapter test modules.
+
+The exact split between registry request annotations and HTML context plumbing
+should remain minimal and should not introduce a new public configuration API.
+
+## Verification
+
+Implementation verification should use the repository's target-matched
+commands:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo test-fastly
+cargo test-axum
+cargo test-cloudflare
+cargo clippy-fastly
+cargo clippy-axum
+cargo clippy-cloudflare
+```
+
+No live production validation is required for this implementation task. Live
+browser verification will be performed later through the deployment/testing
+workflow.

Subject: [PATCH 199/494] Fix JS lint and format failures and dedupe CHANGELOG
 APS entries

The trace test imported node:child_process after vitest, tripping
import/order under eslint; auction.ts and gpt/index.ts carried
non-prettier line wrapping that the failed eslint step masked in CI.
The CHANGELOG Changed section listed the APS inventory override and
renderer preservation entries twice after an earlier merge splice.

 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.
 - **Breaking** — Auction creative sanitization is now opt-in: the new `[auction].sanitize_creatives` defaults to `false` because unconditional sanitization blanked script-based creatives (the majority of programmatic display) while recording normal impressions. `[auction].rewrite_creatives` keeps its `true` default. The 1 MiB cap is now enforced on rewritten output as well as raw input and in every processing mode, rewriting fails closed on parser errors instead of emitting partial output, and `hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` are emitted only for bids that supplied no creative — any bid carrying its own `adm` ships without them, so a processed or rejected creative can never be re-fetched raw from PBS Cache. Creative markup with no `<body>` token now receives the click-guard runtime, and bidder `<base>` elements are stripped whenever rewriting is enabled. The creative iframe sandbox no longer grants `allow-same-origin`, restoring origin isolation; rewritten-click recovery from the resulting opaque-origin iframe uses the GET `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` navigation fallback, now registered in every adapter, and dynamic resource signing inside those iframes is disabled pending [#982](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/982). Upgrading: binaries that predate `sanitize_creatives` reject a blob carrying it, so upgrade the binary first, then push the config. Rollback: non-default values (`sanitize_creatives = true`, `rewrite_creatives = false`) are serialized into the config blob and older binaries reject unknown fields — before rolling back to a binary that predates a field, restore its default, push the default-compatible blob, then roll back.
-- Added optional APS `inventory_domain` and `inventory_page_origin` overrides for deployments whose edge hostname differs from the APS-authorized inventory identity.

 - The SPA re-auction endpoint moved from `/__ts/page-bids` to `/_ts/page-bids`, joining every other internal route in the `/_ts/` namespace. The old path stays registered as a deprecated alias so already-loaded bundles keep serving ads, and responses on it carry a `Link: …; rel="deprecation"` header so remaining traffic is measurable from edge logs; removal is tracked in [#970](https://github.com/IABTechLab/trusted-server/issues/970). Two deployment notes: audit `[[handlers]]` for patterns broad enough to cover `/_ts` (for example `^/_ts`), which would put this browser-facing endpoint behind Basic Auth and return `401` to every visitor — scope them to `^/_ts/admin`; and prefer rolling forward over rolling back, since a server reverted past this release does not register the canonical path. In both cases the shipped client falls back to the deprecated alias, so the exposure is bounded until that alias is removed.

Subject: [PATCH 200/494] Fall back to the OpenRTB bid id for hb_adid when
 cache_id and adid are absent
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Bidders that return neither a Prebid Cache UUID nor an `adid` produced no
`hb_adid` in `window.tsjs.bids` at all. `adInit` only sets targeting keys that
exist on the bid, so GAM never received an `hb_adid` key, the Universal
Creative's `%%PATTERN:hb_adid%%` expanded to empty, and the render bridge
rejected the resulting `Prebid Request` message for want of an ad ID. The line
item won and served its wrapper, but the creative never rendered.

Add `Bid::bid_id`, populated from the OpenRTB bid object's own `id`, and use it
as the last-resort `hb_adid` source. Per spec `id` is mandatory, so this closes
the gap for every bidder. It is unique per bid instance rather than a creative
identifier, which is exactly what `hb_adid` needs here: a stable value GAM
echoes back verbatim so the bridge can find this winning bid.

`cache_id` and `ad_id` keep priority in that order — locked in by test, since
the Universal Creative treats `hb_adid` as the Prebid Cache lookup key whenever
`hb_cache_host`/`hb_cache_path` are present. `bid_id` is carried as its own
field rather than folded into `ad_id`, which is exposed raw in the debug bid
and would mislead consumers treating it as a creative identifier.

Verified: cargo fmt, all six clippy targets, test-fastly / test-axum /
test-cloudflare / test-spin, the parity suite, JS vitest, and JS + docs
prettier checks all pass. The new bid_map test was confirmed to fail with the
fallback removed.

+- Server-side ad template bids now always carry `hb_adid` in `window.tsjs.bids`.

Subject: [PATCH 201/494] Attribute GPT renders to Trusted Server on observed
 evidence

slotRenderEnded reports the Ad Manager identifiers for the ad it delivered,
but the observer read only isEmpty, size, isBackfill, and slotContentChanged,
so a filled slot could not be told apart from a slot filled by Trusted Server.

Capture those identifiers, derive a response class from them, and settle the
delivery question with the one piece of observed evidence available: only the
creative of the line item carrying Trusted Server targeting asks Trusted
Server for its markup. The GPT integration reports the candidate slot at
adInit and the markup request from the render bridge; both calls are optional
and no-op in a tab without diagnostics activated. Nothing is inferred from
targeting, price, or timing.

 Elapsed time alone never changes a pending request to Incomplete. A filled render without a load callback remains Filled with **Load not observed**; missing viewability is not classified as a failure. When GPT emits load or viewability after a completed render but omits a boolean `isEmpty`, diagnostics retain those observed facts without inferring Filled; known-empty renders never accept them.
 
+### Delivery Attribution
+
+A filled slot answers the operator question the lifecycle alone cannot: did the line item Trusted Server won actually render, or did Ad Manager deliver something else?
+
+Two independent pieces of evidence answer it.
+
+**Ad Manager's own report.** `slotRenderEnded` carries the publisher's Ad Manager identifiers for the delivered ad — line item, order, advertiser, creative, and the yield group or company for backfill. These are the same values `?google_console=1` shows. The console reports them verbatim and derives one response class from them:
+
+| Response class           | Meaning                                                                           |
+| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `empty`                  | GPT reported no ad.                                                               |
+| `backfill`               | Ad Manager filled the slot from backfill demand.                                  |
+| `reservation`            | Ad Manager reported a reservation line item.                                      |
+| `unclassified_non_empty` | Filled with no identifiers — an Ad Manager default or backup, or another service. |
+
+**The creative's own request.** Only the creative of the line item carrying Trusted Server's targeting asks Trusted Server for its markup. When it does, the Trusted Server GPT integration reports that claim, and the cycle is attributed:
+
+| Delivery         | Meaning                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trusted_server` | The rendered creative requested its markup from Trusted Server. Ad Manager selected it.                 |
+| `other_demand`   | Trusted Server had a candidate and Ad Manager filled the slot, but no creative asked. Other demand won. |
+| `no_candidate`   | Trusted Server had no bid targeting on this slot, so the render was never its to win.                   |
+| `pending`        | A candidate render is still inside its five-second attribution window.                                  |
+| `not_applicable` | The cycle was empty or has not rendered.                                                                |
+
+`trusted_server` is proof the Trusted Server creative ran, independent of whether it later loaded or confirmed. `other_demand` is only reported once the window has elapsed; a late claim still corrects the verdict. A claim that matches no retained render is preserved as a `trusted_server_claim_*` issue rather than attached to a guess.
+
+Attribution requires the Trusted Server GPT integration to be serving the slot. Without it, every filled cycle is `no_candidate` and the Ad Manager identifiers still name what rendered.
+

+# GPT Delivery Evidence and Auction Competition
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-04  
+**Status:** Proposed  
+**Scope:** Opt-in GPT diagnostics only; no publisher-code changes
+
+## Relationship to the Existing Diagnostics Design
+
+This design is a corrective extension to
+`2026-07-28-gpt-runtime-diagnostics-overlay-design.md`. The existing overlay
+correctly observes GPT lifecycle callbacks and Ad Manager identifiers. The
+delivery-attribution branch adds Trusted Server candidate and creative-bridge
+signals, but two of its conclusions are stronger than the evidence permits:
+
+- A Prebid Universal Creative (PUC) markup request proves that the Trusted
+  Server creative was selected and invoked. It does not prove that markup was
+  returned or rendered.
+- A filled slot that does not request markup does not prove that other demand
+  won. It can also mean that the Trusted Server line item won but its creative,
+  message, identifier, or render source failed.
+
+This extension replaces those inferences with an evidence ladder and adds
+request-path attribution at integration-owned refresh boundaries.
+
+## Decision
+
+Extend the existing browser-local GPT diagnostics with three independent
+dimensions for every GPT request cycle:
+
+1. **Request path:** whether the request followed the direct Trusted Server
+   `adInit` path, the Prebid-managed refresh path, both paths before the same
+   request, or an uninstrumented path.
+2. **Ad Manager result:** GPT's empty/fill result and source-agnostic Ad Manager
+   identifiers, as already observed.
+3. **Trusted Server creative progress:** candidate applied, PUC markup request
+   observed, markup response successfully posted, and GPT slot load observed.
+
+The diagnostics must report only positive observations. In particular, the
+absence of a PUC request after a short observation window becomes
+`candidate_unconfirmed`, not `other_demand`.
+
+The feature remains activated only by the existing server configuration plus
+`?ts_console=true`. It changes neither auction timing nor delivery behavior and
+requires no publisher JavaScript, React, Next.js, DOM, or GAM configuration
+change.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Determine whether direct SSAT targeting was applied before a specific GPT
+  request.
+- Determine whether the existing Prebid refresh integration reached the same
+  request and therefore may have competed with or replaced direct targeting.
+- Determine whether GAM returned an empty or filled result and expose the GAM
+  identifiers already supplied by GPT.
+- Positively identify when the Trusted Server PUC asked for its markup.
+- Separately identify when the bridge successfully posted a markup response.
+- Preserve ambiguous and missing evidence instead of guessing a winner.
+- Keep all diagnostics browser-local, bounded, opt-in, and safe to export.
+- Preserve zero publisher-code change.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Pixel-level proof that an ad was visible or visually correct inside a
+  cross-origin creative iframe.
+- Proof that a particular GAM line item belongs to Trusted Server based only on
+  its line-item ID. Diagnostics has no publisher-specific allowlist.
+- Attribution of arbitrary publisher `display()` or `refresh()` calls that do
+  not pass through an integration-owned boundary.
+- Capturing bid prices, ad IDs, targeting values, creative markup, auction
+  payloads, or network response bodies.
+- Changing auction order, hydration behavior, GPT configuration, Prebid
+  timeouts, or creative behavior.
+- Adding a callback to publisher code or changing the publisher's PUC template.
+
+## Evidence Boundaries
+
+The UI and export must use the following meanings exactly.
+
+| Observation                               | What it proves                                                                                       | What it does not prove                                             |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Direct opportunity recorded               | `adInit` observed whether server-auction targeting existed and, for a candidate, applied it          | GAM requested the slot or selected that targeting                  |
+| Prebid refresh recorded                   | The installed Prebid refresh path invoked GPT for this slot                                          | Which bidder won the Prebid auction                                |
+| Both paths recorded                       | Both integration paths touched the slot before one GPT request; competition or overwrite is possible | Which targeting values were present on the wire                    |
+| `slotRenderEnded`, non-empty              | GAM filled the slot                                                                                  | Which demand source supplied the creative                          |
+| GAM identifiers present                   | GPT reported those IDs for the filled result                                                         | That the IDs belong to Trusted Server without a configured mapping |
+| Matched PUC `Prebid Request`              | A PUC under the correlated slot requested the exact Trusted Server bid ID                            | That the bridge returned markup or that the browser rendered it    |
+| `Prebid Response` posted without throwing | The bridge submitted Trusted Server markup to the requesting MessagePort                             | That PUC consumed it or that pixels appeared                       |
+| `slotOnload`                              | GPT reported that the slot's creative iframe loaded                                                  | Inner creative execution, viewability, or visual correctness       |
+| No PUC request within the window          | No matching request was observed                                                                     | That other demand won                                              |
+
+The final limitation is deliberate. Without either a publisher-specific GAM
+line-item mapping or an acknowledgement emitted by the creative after it writes
+the returned markup, negative winner attribution is not possible. Neither is
+compatible with the zero-publisher-change requirement for this iteration.
+
+## Request-path Model
+
+Add a request-cycle field with these values:
+
+```ts
+type GptDiagnosticsRequestPath =
+  | 'trusted_server_direct'
+  | 'prebid_refresh'
+  | 'competing'
+  | 'unattributed'
+```
+
+- `trusted_server_direct`: only a one-shot opportunity marker from `adInit` was
+  present when GPT emitted `slotRequested`.
+- `prebid_refresh`: only a one-shot marker from the installed Prebid refresh
+  path was present.
+- `competing`: both markers were present. This is the diagnostic signal for the
+  hydration/client-auction race: `adInit` observed the opportunity, but a
+  Prebid-managed delivery also reached the slot before GPT opened the observed
+  request cycle. If the opportunity is a candidate, targeting competition or
+  overwrite is possible; the path alone does not prove it occurred.
+- `unattributed`: neither marker was present. Diagnostics must not infer an
+  owner from timing, element IDs, or targeting-key names.
+
+These labels describe observed integration paths, not a bidder winner.
+
+### Direct marker and observed opportunity
+
+`adInit` records an opportunity for every configured slot it actually resolves
+to a GPT slot. Unlike a positive-only candidate marker, this records an
+explicit `no_candidate` observation when the server supplied no GAM bid
+targeting. A real candidate is recorded whenever the server auction supplied
+at least one non-empty `TS_BID_TARGETING_KEYS` field, not only when `hb_adid` is
+present:
+
+```ts
+type GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity =
+  | 'renderable_candidate'
+  | 'unrenderable_candidate'
+  | 'no_candidate';
+
+recordTrustedServerOpportunity(
+  slot: GptDiagnosticsSlotHandle,
+  auctionSlotId: string,
+  opportunity: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity
+): void;
+```
+
+`renderable_candidate` requires a non-empty `hb_adid` and either inline `adm`
+or both PBS Cache coordinates. `unrenderable_candidate` means bid targeting was
+applied but that condition was not met. These enums expose no bid data and let
+diagnostics distinguish “adInit observed no direct bid” from “direct bid
+applied, but the current bridge could not serve it.”
+
+The direct-path marker carries the observed opportunity. It is consumed once by
+`slotRequested`, using GPT slot object identity. Its resulting request-cycle
+fact is:
+
+```ts
+trustedServerOpportunity?: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity;
+```
+
+The value means “observed by adInit before this request,” not “confirmed on the
+network request.” A `competing` path explicitly warns that Prebid may have
+replaced the targeting before GPT sent the request.
+
+### Prebid marker
+
+Add an internal diagnostics API method:
+
+```ts
+recordPrebidRefresh(slots: GptDiagnosticsSlotHandle[]): void;
+```
+
+The existing `installRefreshHandler` calls it immediately before
+`originalRefresh` in the two paths that it controls:
+
+- when a publisher Prebid auction is being delivered without a new auction;
+- when the synthetic refresh auction completes or its watchdog falls back.
+
+It must not mark:
+
+- `adInit`'s `adInitRefreshInProgress` bypass;
+- invalid or unresolved passthrough refreshes;
+- an invocation that never reaches `originalRefresh`.
+
+The store keeps only one-shot, object-identity markers. Both the direct marker
+and the Prebid marker expire
+`REQUEST_PATH_ATTRIBUTION_WINDOW_MS = 5_000` after they are recorded. Each
+expiry callback includes the marker generation and may remove only that exact
+generation, so it cannot erase a newer observation for the same slot. A marker
+is otherwise consumed by the next matching `slotRequested`. Expiration prevents
+a no-op display or refresh from attributing an unrelated later request. The
+bounded auction-slot-to-GPT-slot association used by the creative bridge is
+separate and is not removed when a request-path marker expires.
+
+Because GPT exposes no request token, the UI describes request path as an
+observed integration path, not an exact network-request owner. If a marker
+expires before `slotRequested`, the cycle remains `unattributed` and its direct
+opportunity is unknown; expiration never becomes negative evidence.
+
+## Trusted Server Creative-progress Model
+
+Replace the existing single “claim” timestamp with two timestamps and bounded,
+deduplicated safe failure classifications:
+
+```ts
+trustedServerCreativeRequestAtMs?: number;
+trustedServerCreativeResponseAtMs?: number;
+trustedServerCreativeFailures?: GptDiagnosticsCreativeFailure[];
+```
+
+`GptDiagnosticsCreativeFailure` is the four-value union
+`missing_render_source | cache_fetch_failed | invalid_cache_payload |
+response_post_failed`. The array preserves first-observed order, contains each
+enum at most once, and therefore can never contain more than four entries.
+
+The bridge records the request only after all existing ownership checks pass:
+
+- the message is `Prebid Request`;
+- it contains an `adId` and a MessagePort;
+- the message source resolves to one auction slot;
+- that slot's current Trusted Server bid owns the exact `adId`.
+
+The request-recording method returns an opaque, diagnostic-only attempt number:
+
+```ts
+recordTrustedServerCreativeRequest(auctionSlotId: string): number | undefined;
+recordTrustedServerCreativeResponse(attemptId: number): void;
+recordTrustedServerCreativeFailure(
+  attemptId: number,
+  reason: GptDiagnosticsCreativeFailure
+): void;
+```
+
+The opaque attempt number ties an asynchronous cache response to the exact
+request cycle that initiated it. It avoids attaching a late cache response to a
+newer refresh of the same slot. Attempt records are bounded and contain no ad
+identifier.
+
+### Attempt correlation and lifecycle
+
+There is at most one diagnostic creative attempt per GPT request cycle and at
+most `MAX_CREATIVE_ATTEMPTS = 128` retained attempt records. The store uses the
+following rules:
+
+1. Resolve the auction-slot association, then inspect the retained GPT cycle
+   with the greatest request number. Reuse of that cycle's existing valid
+   attempt is checked first. For admission of a new attempt, a cycle is outside
+   creative correlation once more than
+   `CREATIVE_ATTEMPT_WINDOW_MS = 30_000` has elapsed since its `slotRequested`
+   timestamp.
+2. The greatest request cycle is compatible when it has rendered non-empty. It
+   is provisionally compatible before `slotRenderEnded` only when no earlier
+   retained non-empty cycle is still inside the 30-second window. This preserves
+   an initial PUC request that races GPT's render callback, but rejects a request
+   during the ambiguous interval between a refresh request and its render event.
+   A known-empty cycle is never compatible.
+3. The bridge's existing current-DOM iframe-source check and exact slot/ad-ID
+   ownership check run before this algorithm. After a later cycle renders, an
+   older cycle is not eligible merely because it is still retained.
+4. One compatible cycle receives the first request timestamp and a new attempt
+   ID. No compatible cycle or the ambiguous pre-render case produces an
+   attribution issue and no attempt ID.
+5. A duplicate or retry request while that greatest cycle remains current
+   returns the same valid attempt ID and does not replace its first request
+   timestamp.
+6. Failures are observations, not terminal states. They are appended once to
+   the bounded failure array. A later successful retry while the attempt ID is
+   still valid can set the first response timestamp and upgrade delivery to
+   `trusted_server_response_sent`.
+7. Repeated response and failure calls for the same valid attempt are
+   idempotent.
+8. An attempt ID expires 30 seconds after its first request. Expiry invalidates
+   future mutation through that ID but does not erase evidence already stored
+   on the request cycle. Because there is only one attempt per cycle, a request
+   after expiry records `creative_attempt_expired` and returns no replacement
+   ID. A cycle that already has a response is complete and likewise returns no
+   new attempt.
+9. Evicting a request cycle immediately invalidates its attempt IDs. Late calls
+   for expired, evicted, or unknown IDs add an attribution issue and never
+   attach to another cycle.
+
+Before admitting an attempt at the 128-record cap, the store removes the oldest
+completed, expired, or evicted tombstone. It never evicts a live attempt to make
+room. If all 128 records are live, admission records
+`creative_attempt_capacity` and returns no attempt ID. A successful response
+makes an attempt completed; repeat calls through a retained completed record are
+idempotent no-ops.
+
+When a pre-render request was provisionally attached, `slotRenderEnded` closes
+the check. A non-empty event confirms compatibility. An empty event records an
+`creative_request_on_empty_cycle` attribution issue; the positive request fact
+is retained, but the inconsistent GPT sequence is visible to the tester.
+
+The bridge records `CreativeResponse` only after `port.postMessage` returns
+without throwing:
+
+- immediately after the inline-`adm` response;
+- immediately after the decoded PBS Cache response.
+
+It records a safe failure classification when it positively observes a known
+failure. Existing log messages retain the detailed operational context. The
+diagnostics export contains only the enum, never URLs, cache IDs, markup, or
+errors.
+
+## Derived Delivery State
+
+Replace the branch's `trusted_server` and `other_demand` conclusions with:
+
+```ts
+type GptDiagnosticsDelivery =
+  | 'trusted_server_response_sent'
+  | 'trusted_server_selected'
+  | 'candidate_unconfirmed'
+  | 'no_candidate'
+  | 'unknown'
+  | 'pending'
+  | 'not_applicable'
+```
+
+Derive the state in this order:
+
+1. `trusted_server_response_sent` when a creative response timestamp exists.
+2. `trusted_server_selected` when a matched PUC request timestamp exists.
+3. `not_applicable` before `slotRenderEnded` or for an explicitly empty result.
+4. `unknown` when `slotRenderEnded` did not supply an explicit `isEmpty` value.
+5. `no_candidate` for a non-empty result whose consumed opportunity is
+   explicitly `no_candidate`.
+6. `unknown` for a non-empty result with no consumed opportunity observation.
+7. `pending` for a non-empty `renderable_candidate` or
+   `unrenderable_candidate` still inside the observation window.
+8. `candidate_unconfirmed` after that window expires.
+
+`candidate_unconfirmed` means exactly: “Trusted Server applied a candidate,
+GAM filled the slot, and no matching PUC request was observed.” Other GAM
+demand, a targeting overwrite, a PUC configuration problem, an ID mismatch,
+and a bridge problem remain possible explanations.
+
+The delivery observation window is
+`TRUSTED_SERVER_ATTRIBUTION_WINDOW_MS = 5_000` and starts at the cycle's
+`slotRenderEnded` timestamp. A late positive signal always upgrades the state.
+A timeout never blocks or changes ad delivery.
+
+## Correlation and Ambiguity
+
+All slot correlation continues to use GPT slot object identity. Dynamic Next.js
+element suffixes and stable configuration prefixes are display-only facts and
+must not become correlation keys.
+
+The auction-slot-to-GPT-slot association established by `adInit` remains
+bounded. A creative request is attached only to the greatest request-number
+cycle when the lifecycle rules above make it compatible. Missing correlation or
+the ambiguous pre-render interval creates an attribution issue and returns no
+attempt number. The store never selects a cycle by nearest timestamp.
+
+The response/failure methods accept only a valid attempt number created by the
+request method. Unknown, expired, or evicted attempt numbers create a bounded
+attribution issue and do not mutate a guessed cycle.
+
+### Attribution issues
+
+Creative and request-path problems are not GPT callbacks and must not be added
+to `callbackIssues` or its coverage counters. Add a separate, optional v1
+export collection:
+
+```ts
+interface GptDiagnosticsAttributionIssue {
+  reason:
+    | 'creative_request_without_slot'
+    | 'creative_request_without_cycle'
+    | 'creative_request_ambiguous_cycle'
+    | 'creative_request_on_empty_cycle'
+    | 'creative_attempt_capacity'
+    | 'creative_attempt_unknown'
+    | 'creative_attempt_expired'
+    | 'creative_attempt_evicted'
+  timestampMs: number
+  runtimeSlotNumber?: number
+  slotElementId?: string
+}
+```
+
+The collection is capped at `MAX_ATTRIBUTION_ISSUES = 128`. Missing slot
+identity remains absent rather than using runtime slot `0`. Export metadata
+adds `droppedAttributionIssues`; marker expiry by itself is expected cleanup and
+does not create an issue. Expired and evicted attempt IDs remain as bounded
+status tombstones inside the same 128-record attempt cap, allowing a late call
+to report the correct reason; an ID with no retained record is `unknown`.
+
+## UI and Export
+
+For each request cycle, the overlay and exported snapshot show:
+
+- request path;
+- the observed direct opportunity (`renderable_candidate`,
+  `unrenderable_candidate`, `no_candidate`, or unknown);
+- GPT response class and GAM identifiers;
+- creative request/response timestamps or durations;
+- safe, deduplicated bridge failure classifications, when observed;
+- GPT load and viewability facts already captured;
+- the derived delivery state.
+
+Required user-facing wording:
+
+| State                          | Wording                                                                                              |
+| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trusted_server_response_sent` | “Trusted Server selected; markup response sent to PUC”                                               |
+| `trusted_server_selected`      | “Trusted Server selected; no markup response confirmed”                                              |
+| `candidate_unconfirmed`        | “Trusted Server candidate unconfirmed — another GAM result or a creative/bridge failure is possible” |
+| `no_candidate`                 | “adInit observed no direct Trusted Server candidate for this request”                                |
+| `unknown`                      | “Delivery status unknown — required GPT or direct-candidate evidence was not observed”               |
+| `pending`                      | “Waiting for Trusted Server creative evidence”                                                       |
+| `not_applicable`               | No delivery conclusion                                                                               |
+
+If `slotOnload` is present with a Trusted Server response, the UI may append
+“GPT slot onload observed.” It must not say “creative rendered,” “ad visible,”
+or “pixels confirmed.”
+
+Badges remain compact, but use the same evidence-safe meanings. The export
+retains version 1 because these attribution fields are optional additions that
+have not shipped from this branch; no existing version-1 field changes meaning
+on the base branch.
+
+## Privacy, Bounds, and Non-interference
+
+- Diagnostics remains disabled unless both the integration configuration and
+  `?ts_console=true` activate it.
+- Every integration call uses optional chaining and is a no-op when diagnostics
+  is inactive.
+- No new global patch is introduced. The implementation adds observations only
+  inside the existing `adInit`, Prebid refresh wrapper, GPT observer, and render
+  bridge.
+- Request-path markers use `WeakMap` slot identity, generation checks, and the
+  fixed five-second lifetime.
+- Creative attempts have a fixed maximum, a 30-second mutation lifetime, and
+  are invalidated on request-cycle eviction.
+- No raw targeting values, prices, bid IDs, markup, URLs, payloads, or error
+  objects enter the store, overlay, badges, or export.
+- Diagnostics does not add a network request, storage write, timer that gates
+  delivery, or callback awaited by auction code.
+
+## Failure Handling
+
+- A diagnostics method throwing must never break auction or rendering code.
+  The public diagnostics API catches internal failures and returns
+  `undefined` for creative-attempt creation.
+- A `postMessage` failure retains existing bridge behavior while recording
+  `response_post_failed` when possible.
+- Cache HTTP/network failure records `cache_fetch_failed`.
+- A cache document without usable `adm` records `invalid_cache_payload`.
+- A matched request with neither inline markup nor complete cache coordinates
+  records `missing_render_source`.
+- Missing or ambiguous correlation produces an attribution issue, not a GPT
+  callback issue.
+- Observation-window and marker-expiration timers only schedule diagnostic
+  notification/cleanup and never trigger GPT or Prebid work.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Implementation follows test-driven development.
+
+### Store tests
+
+- direct, Prebid, competing, and unattributed request paths;
+- one-shot consumption, generation-safe replacement, and five-second expiry of
+  both request-path markers;
+- renderable, non-renderable, explicit-no-candidate, and unknown opportunities;
+- selected, response-sent, pending, candidate-unconfirmed, no-candidate,
+  unknown, and not-applicable delivery states;
+- late positive evidence upgrades a timed-out state;
+- opaque attempt IDs attach async responses only to their originating cycle;
+- pre-render request, duplicate/retry, in-window failure-then-success,
+  non-renewable 30-second expiry, and request-cycle eviction behavior;
+- `slotRenderEnded` without `isEmpty` remains unknown unless positive creative
+  evidence exists;
+- unknown, expired, evicted, unmatched, inconsistent-empty, and ambiguous
+  attempts create attribution issues without changing GPT callback coverage;
+- attempt-cap admission removes an old tombstone but rejects a new attempt when
+  all 128 records are live;
+- no absence-only path emits an “other demand” conclusion;
+- all collections and request cycles remain bounded.
+
+### GPT/adInit and bridge tests
+
+- candidates are recorded for incomplete-but-real server bid targeting;
+- renderability is false without an ID or render source;
+- inline response is recorded only after successful `postMessage`;
+- cache response is recorded only after successful decode and `postMessage`;
+- missing source, failed cache, invalid payload, and thrown `postMessage` record
+  the safe failure enum;
+- messages for another slot or bid produce no Trusted Server evidence;
+- diagnostics absent or throwing does not change the bridge result.
+
+### Prebid refresh tests
+
+- publisher-delivery and completed synthetic refresh paths record their exact
+  target slots immediately before `originalRefresh`;
+- direct `adInit` bypass and invalid passthrough paths do not record Prebid;
+- timeout and caught-auction fallback record one Prebid refresh, not two;
+- mixed SRA refreshes mark all slots sent in the single GPT request;
+- diagnostics absent or throwing does not drop the refresh.
+
+### UI, API, and documentation tests
+
+- overlay and badges use the required evidence-safe wording;
+- snapshots export request path, progress, and GAM identifiers without raw bid
+  data;
+- no UI path claims that missing evidence proves other demand;
+- diagnostics setup/cleanup remains idempotent.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+With diagnostics enabled, a tester can inspect one request cycle and answer:
+
+1. Did the direct SSAT path apply a candidate?
+2. Did a Prebid-managed refresh touch the same request cycle?
+3. Did GAM fill the slot, and which identifiers did GPT report?
+4. Did the correlated Trusted Server PUC request markup?
+5. Did the bridge successfully post the markup response?
+6. Did GPT later report slot load and viewability events?
+7. If evidence stops, what is the last positively observed stage?
+
+The tester cannot incorrectly conclude that other demand won merely because a
+PUC request was absent, and no publisher code change is needed to gather the
+evidence.
+
+## Rollout
+
+1. Land behind the existing diagnostics configuration and query-parameter
+   activation; no new feature flag is required.
+2. Deploy to a non-production or RC environment with diagnostics enabled.
+3. Capture exports for a direct initial request, a hydration-era publisher
+   auction, and a later refresh of the same slot.
+4. Compare request paths and creative-progress stages across those cycles.
+5. Use the evidence to decide whether the production fix belongs in auction
+   ownership, creative delivery, or both. Do not use diagnostics alone to
+   change GAM line-item priority.

Subject: [PATCH 203/494] Add APS render fix and TSJS resilience design spec

Synthesizes three audits of the full rc/july merged state (APS
end-to-end trace, TSJS architecture audit, GPT integration map) into a
phased design: client-to-server disposition telemetry first, APS
admission/identity/render fixes second, then the kernel/adapters/
services restructuring of TSJS with a single window.tsjs namespace,
performance budgets, and restoration of the render attribution lost in
the #922 merge.

+# APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Architecture — Design
+
+- **Status:** draft for review
+- **Date:** 2026-08-04
+- **Baseline:** `rc/july` @ `541298695` — the full merged state (everything merged
+  from `main` plus every rc-only merge), not just the delta pending against
+  `main`.
+- **Inputs:** three code audits performed against this baseline (APS end-to-end
+  trace, TSJS architecture audit, GPT integration map); open issues #926, #941,
+  #944, #962, #964, #977, #983, #989, #993; open PR #997.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Problem statement
+
+APS (Amazon Publisher Services) demand is fully integrated server-side — the
+edge server runs the APS OpenRTB auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer
+descriptor to the page — yet APS creatives still do not appear for real users.
+Every previous fix (the `bid.meta` carrier so Prebid does not strip the
+descriptor, the decoupled prebid shim, the `hb_adid` fallback to the OpenRTB bid
+id) addressed a real defect, and APS still does not render. That pattern — serial
+single-cause fixes that each survive review and still do not produce ads — is
+itself the finding: the APS pipeline has **multiple independent failure points,
+most of which fail silently**, and the client library has **no way to tell the
+server (or the operator) which one fired**.
+
+At the same time, the TSJS client library has grown organically to 56 files /
+~11,900 lines with two ~1,700-line monoliths, duplicated logic maintained by
+hand in two languages, inverted layering, and roughly one hundred `catch` blocks
+that discard failures. The APS outage and the library's shape are the same
+problem seen from two sides: a delivery pipeline whose failure modes are
+invisible and whose components cannot be reasoned about independently.
+
+This design covers both: (a) the specific fixes that make APS render, and (b)
+the target architecture that makes TSJS a clean, resilient library so the next
+integration does not reproduce this failure class.
+
+### Non-goals
+
+- No change to the APS OpenRTB endpoint contract or Amazon-side configuration.
+- No rewrite of Prebid.js integration strategy (the decoupled shim stays).
+- No visual/behavioral change for publishers whose pages work today.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Why APS still does not render — the evidence
+
+The audit traced all four delivery flows: (a) SSAT server-side ad template via
+`window.tsjs.bids`, (b) GAM + client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, (c)
+SPA `/_ts/page-bids` re-auction, (d) direct `/auction` via `tsjs.requestAds`.
+Only flow (d) — the demo path nobody runs in production — can render an APS
+descriptor without GAM's cooperation.
+
+The failure points, ranked by likelihood and blast radius:
+
+### 2.1 Admission: APS bids are eliminated before they can win
+
+| #   | Failure                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        | Where                                            |
+| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| A1  | **A configured `[auction].mediator` discards every direct-provider bid.** Winners come exclusively from the mediator response; APS bids (with their renderers) are used only as mediator input and reporting. APS shows `status: success, bid_count: N` yet never wins a slot. | `orchestrator.rs:412-431`                        |
+| A2  | **`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`**, dropping every `tagtype: "script"` APS bid — a large share of TAM demand. The drop is counted but invisible (see A4).                                                                                                        | `aps.rs:141-143`, `:773-778`                     |
+| A3  | **Strict per-bid gates**: exact `w`×`h` match against configured formats (a 300×600 answer on a `[[300,250],[728,90]]` slot dies), required `ext.creativeurl`, and any top-level `contextual` key rejects the entire response.                                                 | `aps.rs:657-668`, `:745-778`, `:838-846`         |
+| A4  | **Drop reasons never reach an operator on the production paths.** `drop_reasons` counters surface only in `/auction` `ext.orchestrator`; the SSAT and page-bids paths discard them, server logs do not carry them, and the `ts-debug` comment allowlist excludes them.         | `publisher.rs:1866-1875`, `telemetry.rs:808-826` |
+
+### 2.2 Identity: the `hb_adid` contract with GAM is unproven

+| B1  | **GAM key-value values are capped at 40 characters.** The new fallback emits the raw APS OpenRTB bid `id` (a long opaque string) as `hb_adid`. If GAM truncates or rejects it, `%%PATTERN:hb_adid%%` comes back different, the bridge's equality check fails, and it bails **with no log**. | `publisher.rs:3366-3372`, `gpt/index.ts:1613` |
+| B2  | **Two id universes for the same bid.** SSAT keys the bridge on the APS bid id; the client-side Prebid adapter keys on Prebid's generated `adId`. A page running both paths registers the same slot under different ids.                                                                     | `publisher.rs:3366`, `prebid/index.ts:982`    |

+| C1  | **If GAM never serves the Prebid Universal Creative, nothing renders and nothing is recorded.** The renderer descriptor sits unused in `window.tsjs.bids`; `renderApsCreative` is reachable only from the unused flow (d).  | `gpt/index.ts:854-1107`, `core/request.ts:59`             |
+| C2  | **The `/integrations/aps/renderer` route registers only when `[integrations.aps]` is enabled on that origin.** A 404/401 there means the sandboxed iframe waits 10 s and dies silently.                                     | `aps.rs:1188-1245`, `aps/render.ts:404`                   |
+| C3  | **SafeFrame breaks slot attribution.** The bridge resolves a message source by walking top-document iframes under the slot div; a nested SafeFrame creative window is invisible to that walk, so the bridge bails silently. | `gpt/index.ts:157-183`, `:1599-1600`                      |
+| C4  | **Three hand-maintained copies of the descriptor schema** (Rust struct, TS validator, inline renderer-document validator) with exact-key rejection: any server-side field addition instantly blanks every APS ad.           | `types.rs:188-211`, `aps/render.ts:60-93`, `aps.rs:65-73` |
+| C5  | **A dead duplicate renderer branch in the bridge** contains the debug log and dedup logic people would look for while debugging; it can never execute.                                                                      | `gpt/index.ts:1643-1674`                                  |
+| C6  | **The renderer CSP may kill creatives after success is reported** (`object-src`, workers, `blob:`/`data:` frames are blocked; `renderer-ready` fires before the creative actually paints).                                  | `aps.rs:49`                                               |
+| C7  | **The renderer branches record nothing**: no `recordRender`, no win/billing beacons, no `stampCreativeTrace` — an APS win looks "never rendered" in every trace whether or not it painted.                                  | `gpt/index.ts:1558-1632`                                  |
+
+### 2.4 Observability: the common factor
+
+There is **zero client→server reporting**. Server telemetry marks `is_win=1` at
+auction time and goes quiet; a bid that never painted is byte-identical to one
+that painted perfectly. Client-side evidence (`window.tsjs.renders`, console
+warnings, `data-ts-*` attributes) dies with the tab. This is why "APS still does
+not work" has taken weeks instead of a dashboard row saying
+`render_fail{renderer_endpoint_404}`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The GPT reality this design must respect
+
+The GPT integration is a **bootstrap-first hybrid**: the server injects a
+495-line ES5 `gpt_bootstrap.js` inline in `<head>` before the TSJS bundle, and
+the two coordinate through shared monkeypatch sentinels, with document order
+deciding the winner. The audit's key facts:
+
+1. **The bundle's handoff and initial-load code is dead in production.** The
+   bootstrap installs its wrappers first and sets the same sentinels the bundle
+   checks; ~200 lines of the TypeScript the test suite exercises most heavily
+   never run on a real page. A fix landed only in `gpt/index.ts` has no
+   production effect.
+2. **The slot handoff can alias a publisher's new div to a GPT slot bound to a
+   dead element** — and the orphan-recovery watcher built to repair exactly that
+   was **lost in the #922 merge** (`0dc9b19a9` resolved `gpt/index.ts` to the rc
+   side). `updateRender` (one impression, one row) now has no production
+   caller, `__tsRenderGeneration` / `__tsRenderBid` are dead writes, and every
+   bridge-served impression double-counts in the trace. Open PR #997 appears to
+   be the reworked replacement; restoring this is a correctness prerequisite,
+   not a refactor.
+3. **TS refreshes never pass `changeCorrelator: false`**, so every TS-driven
+   refresh starts a new GAM page-view correlator — silently changing roadblock,
+   competitive-exclusion, and frequency-capping behavior.
+4. **`enableSingleRequest()` is called blind** after the publisher's own
+   `enableServices()` has almost always run (post-#945 deferral), so SRA intent
+   is asserted but not real — and on pages where TS wins the race, it forces
+   SRA onto publishers who chose otherwise.
+5. Responsive resolution is a DOM-element-selection ladder (not GPT size
+   mapping); ambiguity silently skips the slot for the whole pass.
+6. Three independent wrappers on `pubads().refresh` (bootstrap, bundle, prebid)
+   coordinate via window-global booleans that async wrappers observe already
+   reset.
+
+Any APS fix that adds more targeting keys, more refresh calls, or more
+postMessage traffic has to land inside this reality, which is why the design
+couples the APS fix to the library restructuring instead of adding a sixth
+patch to the pile.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Design overview
+
+Three workstreams, ordered by dependency:
+
+1. **See the failures** — client→server disposition telemetry plus surfacing
+   the server's existing drop counters. Without this, every subsequent fix is
+   another blind patch.
+2. **Fix APS delivery** — admission, identity, render chain, schema, and
+   bridge fixes, each verifiable by the new telemetry and by contract tests.
+3. **Restructure TSJS** — the kernel/adapters/services architecture that makes
+   the fixes durable and the next integration cheap.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Workstream 1 — Observability first
+
+### 5.1 Client disposition beacon
+
+A new kernel module batches disposition events and posts them to a new
+`POST /_ts/client-events` ingest route:
+
+```
+{ v: 1, page: {auctionId, navGen}, events: [
+  { t: "bid_received",   slot, bidder, source }
+  { t: "targeting_set",  slot, hbAdid }
+  { t: "bridge_request", slot, adId, matched: bool }
+  { t: "render_attempt", slot, source: "renderer"|"adm"|"pbs-cache" }
+  { t: "render_ok",      slot, source }
+  { t: "render_fail",    slot, source, reason }   // reason is a closed enum
+] }
+```
+
+- Transport: `navigator.sendBeacon` with `fetch` keepalive fallback; batched
+  (flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s); capped payload.
+- Server side: a bounded, sampled log/telemetry row per event class, joining on
+  the auction id the server already logs. No KV writes, no PII, no cookies.
+- The existing `recordRender` funnel becomes a producer for this beacon, so the
+  in-page trace overlay and the server see the same stream.
+
+`reason` enums are the contract: `renderer_endpoint_404`,
+`renderer_ready_timeout`, `descriptor_invalid`, `bridge_id_mismatch`,
+`gam_empty`, `no_render_source`, `slot_unresolved`, `gpt_absent`, and so on.
+Every silent `return` found by the audit gets a reason code.
+
+### 5.2 Surface the server's own drop counters
+
+- Log `drop_reasons` at `warn` when an APS response yields zero admitted bids.
+- Add `drop_reasons` to auction telemetry rows and to the `ts-debug` comment
+  allowlist (SSAT and page-bids paths).
+- Startup validation warning when `[integrations.aps]` is enabled while
+  `allow_script_creatives = false`: "script-type APS demand will be dropped."
+- Startup validation warning when APS (or any direct provider) is configured
+  alongside a mediator, until Workstream 2 makes that combination meaningful.
+
+**Exit criterion:** an operator can answer "which of the failure points in
+section 2 is firing on this page" from server logs alone, with one page load.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Workstream 2 — APS delivery fixes
+
+### 6.1 Admission
+
+- **Mediated auctions must not discard direct-provider winners (A1).** New
+  winner-merge policy: after the mediator responds, direct-provider bids
+  compete per slot by decoded CPM against mediator bids under a configurable
+  strategy: `mediator_only` (today's behavior, explicit), `merge_highest_cpm`
+  (new default). The delivery report gains
+  `dropped_winner_reasons["mediator_superseded"]` so the loser is visible.
+- **Dimension tolerance (A3).** Replace exact `w`×`h` equality with a
+  containment rule: an APS bid is admitted when its size fits within any
+  configured format for the slot (never larger on either axis); the served size
+  is reported in targeting. Exact match stays preferred when available.
+- **Script creatives (A2).** Keep the secure default (`false`) but make the
+  consequence loud (5.2) and document the enablement path for TAM-heavy
+  publishers. The renderer sandbox already isolates script tag types; this is a
+  policy toggle, not new machinery.
+
+### 6.2 Render identity: one short token
+
+Introduce a server-generated **render token** — 12 chars, `[a-z0-9]`, unique per
+(auction, slot) — emitted as `hb_adid` for every SSAT bid and used as the key in
+every registry and bridge branch:
+
+- Well inside GAM's 40-char value limit and charset rules (B1).
+- The bid map carries `{ hb_adid: token, bid_id, renderer, … }`; the bridge
+  matches on the token; billing/win URLs keep using the real bid id.
+- The client-side Prebid adapter path keeps Prebid's generated `adId` (that
+  contract is Prebid's own), but registration for both paths lands in **one**
+  registry keyed by whichever token the path will observe (B2).
+- Property test: every emitted `hb_adid` matches `^[a-z0-9-]{1,40}$`.
+
+### 6.3 Render source chain with a GAM-claim timeout
+
+A winning bid becomes an ordered list of render sources:
+`renderer → inline adm → pbs-cache`. The render engine walks the chain, emitting
+`render_attempt` / `render_ok` / `render_fail{reason}` per step.
+
+For flow (a)/(c), add the missing fallback (C1): when targeting was set for a
+slot and **no bridge request arrives within N seconds of `slotRenderEnded`
+(empty) or within M seconds of refresh**, and the config opts in
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`), render the descriptor
+directly into the slot container via the existing `renderApsCreative` path. The
+fallback is opt-in because it changes GAM reporting semantics; the beacon makes
+the "GAM never asked" case visible either way.
+
+### 6.4 One descriptor schema
+
+The Rust `ApsRendererV1` struct becomes the single source of truth:
+
+- `build.rs` (or a checked-in generation step) exports JSON Schema from the
+  serde model; the TS types and validators in `aps/render.ts` and the inline
+  renderer-document validator are **generated** from it.
+- Validation becomes versioned-envelope tolerant: known fields validated
+  strictly, unknown fields ignored, `version` gates behavior (C4).
+- A conformance test round-trips a Rust-serialized descriptor through the TS
+  validator and the renderer-document validator in CI.
+
+### 6.5 Renderer endpoint availability
+
+- Register the `/integrations/aps/renderer` route whenever the server can emit
+  renderer bids (auction-level concern), not only when the APS integration is
+  enabled on the serving origin (C2).
+- The renderer iframe failure path (10 s timeout, load error) emits
+  `render_fail{renderer_endpoint_404 | renderer_ready_timeout}` instead of
+  dying silently.
+- CSP audit (C6): extend `APS_RENDERER_CSP` with the minimum additional sources
+  observed in real Amazon creative traffic (candidates: `frame-src data: blob:`,
+  `worker-src blob:`), each addition justified in a comment and covered by the
+  browser spec.
+
+### 6.6 Bridge hardening
+
+- Delete the dead duplicate renderer branch (C5) and move its dedup +
+  debug-log into the live branch.
+- Renderer branches call the same `fireWinBillingBeacons` +
+  `recordGptBridgeRender` as the adm and cache branches (C7).
+- Blanket source validation at the top of the bridge listener: parse and
+  ownership-check before any branch logic; new branches inherit protection.
+- SafeFrame-aware attribution (C3): resolve the slot by the MessageChannel port
+  and the `hb_adid` token first (the token is already unique per slot), using
+  the DOM walk only as a fallback.
+
+### 6.7 Tests that pin the contract
+
+1. Browser spec for flow (a): real GPT + PUC handshake driven from
+   `window.tsjs.bids` with a renderer-only bid (the region the dead code hid).
+2. Mediator + APS orchestration test asserting `merge_highest_cpm` admits the
+   APS winner and `mediator_only` reports the drop.
+3. `build_bid_map` tests: renderer emission, token-form `hb_adid`, adm and
+   cache-coordinate suppression for renderer bids.
+4. Cross-schema conformance (6.4).
+5. Page-bids JSON carries `renderer`; SPA hook delivers it to the bridge.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Workstream 3 — TSJS target architecture
+
+### 7.1 Layering
+
+```
+kernel/          boot, config, command queue, event bus, log, telemetry beacon
+adapters/        googletag.ts, pbjs.ts, messaging.ts   ← the ONLY window.* access
+services/        slots (registry+handoff), auction client, render engine, consent
+integrations/    gpt, prebid, aps, creative, datadome, …  (plugins over services)
+```
+
+Rules, enforced by an eslint boundary rule in CI (`import/no-restricted-paths`):
+
+- `kernel` imports nothing above it; `adapters` import kernel only; `services`
+  import kernel + adapters; `integrations` import kernel + services, **never
+  each other**.
+- This dissolves today's inversions: `core/auction.ts` and `core/request.ts`
+  importing `integrations/aps/render`, `gpt` and `prebid` importing `aps`, and
+  `prebid` owning the GPT refresh wrapper.
+- `aps/` gains a real module boundary (an `index.ts`), ending the triple
+  inlining that gives three bundles three private copies of the frame-tracking
+  WeakMaps (today two paths can each mount a live APS iframe on one container
+  without seeing each other's cancel bookkeeping).
+
+### 7.2 Adapters: explicit absence
+
+Every external global is wrapped once with a tri-state
+(`present | pending | absent`), a queue for `pending`, and a resolution
+timeout that emits telemetry on `absent`. No other file touches
+`window.googletag` / `window.pbjs`. This converts today's silent hangs (GPT
+stub whose `cmd` never drains, `adInit` bare-returning without googletag) into
+recorded, reasoned outcomes.
+
+### 7.3 Slot registry service
+
+One registry owns all slot knowledge: publisher-defined vs TS-defined,
+adoption, handoff claims, responsive element resolution, refresh generation,
+targeting-key history — keyed by `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` plus a
+div-id index. Expando properties on live GPT objects are eliminated. The GPT
+integration feeds events in and executes registry decisions; the prebid refresh
+handler consumes the same registry instead of re-deriving slot resolution.
+
+### 7.4 Global namespace policy: everything under `window.tsjs`
+
+Today the library sprawls across the window: ten-plus `window.__tsjs_*` /
+`window.__ts*` flags, `globalThis.tscreative` / `tsCreativeConfig`, a
+symbol-keyed dispatcher, and expando properties stamped onto foreign objects
+(`__tsPushed` on GPT's command queue, `__tsSlotHandoffPatched` on wrapped
+functions, `__tsRenderGeneration` / `__tsRenderBid` on live GPT slot objects,
+sentinels on `pbjs`). The policy going forward:
+
+- **One owned global: `window.tsjs`**, split internally into `tsjs` (public,
+  versioned API) and `tsjs._internal` (coordination state, explicitly not a
+  contract). Server-injected boot flags (`__tsjs_gpt_enabled`,
+  `__tsjs_slim_prebid_url`, bundle manifests) become fields the boot script
+  sets via the same command-queue pattern (`window.tsjs = window.tsjs ||
+{cmd: []}`), so early inline scripts and the bundle share one namespace.
+- **No expandos on objects we do not own.** Per-slot state
+  (`__tsRenderGeneration`, `__tsRenderBid`) moves into the slot registry's
+  `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>`; wrap-idempotence sentinels on foreign
+  functions are replaced by a kernel-held `WeakSet` of wrapped targets.
+- **Immediate cleanup, independent of the refactor:** `__tsRenderGeneration`
+  and `__tsRenderBid` are dead writes on this baseline — written at
+  `gpt/index.ts:1086-1091`, read by nothing (their consumer was lost in the
+  #922 merge). Delete the writes now; when Phase 2 restores attribution, the
+  captured bid/generation lives in `SlotRecord`.
+- Third-party globals (`googletag`, `pbjs`, CMP APIs) are read only through
+  adapters (7.2); integration-owned config globals (`didomiConfig`,
+  `permutive.config`) are written only inside that integration's adapter
+  boundary.
+
+### 7.5 Messaging module
+
+All `postMessage` traffic goes through one module: versioned envelopes, message
+name constants (today `'Prebid Request'` appears as a bare literal at six
+sites, and the APS handshake exists in three hand-synced copies), source and —
+where origins are non-opaque — origin validation, and one audit point.
+
+### 7.6 Lifecycle discipline
+
+- **`install()` entry points instead of import-time side effects.** The server
+  boot script calls `tsjs.install(['gpt', 'prebid', …])`; modules stop
+  self-executing at module bottom. This kills the double-injection class
+  (today: `beacon_guard` double-wraps `window.fetch` unrecoverably, a second
+  `creative` copy silently disarms `setConfig`, `didomi` can throw during
+  module evaluation and halt the concatenated bundle).
+- One shared window-level install sentinel helper (the pattern
+  `gpt_diagnostics` already got right), applied to every integration.
+- A `PageSession` object owns all per-page mutable state; SPA navigation
+  disposes and recreates it (fixing the leaked observers, listeners, and
+  unbounded maps the audit enumerated).
+- Error policy: no empty `catch` — every catch either handles, logs with
+  context, or emits a disposition reason. The auction fetch gets a timeout +
+  `AbortController`, and `requestAds` surfaces failure to its caller.
+- **Console logging is retained, not replaced.** The disposition beacon is
+  additive: every condition that surfaces an issue keeps (or gains) a
+  `log.warn` with enough context to debug from an open DevTools console,
+  because the console is the tool available on a publisher's page when no
+  server access exists. Concretely: existing warnings survive the refactor
+  verbatim or strengthened; failure paths currently logged at `debug` — which
+  is invisible at the default `warn` level (for example the creative
+  `dynamic_src_guard` and click-guard rejection paths) — are promoted to
+  `warn` when they indicate a delivery or security-relevant failure; and every
+  new `render_fail` / `absent`-dependency disposition emits a paired `warn`
+  carrying the same reason code, so console and beacon tell one story.
+
+### 7.7 The bootstrap problem
+
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` duplicates ~400 lines of the hardest logic (handoff,
+initial-load detection, hydration deferral) in hand-written ES5, always wins
+the sentinel race, and has one live divergence (its simpler `adInit` can run
+first and permanently suppress the bundle's `slotRenderEnded` listener).
+
+Target: shrink the inline bootstrap to a **queue-and-flags stub only** (create
+`googletag.cmd` interception points, record early publisher calls, expose
+`__tsjs_gpt_enabled`), and move all behavior into the bundle, which replays the
+recorded early calls on install. If a no-bundle fallback must keep rendering
+ads (today's pinned behavior), that fallback is **generated from the same
+TypeScript source** at build time, never hand-maintained.
+
+### 7.8 GPT correctness fixes carried with the restructure
+
+- Restore the #922 orphan-slot recovery and `updateRender` enrichment (verify
+  against open PR #997; land whichever is canonical) — fixes the dead-element
+  handoff alias (section 3.2) and trace double-counting.
+- Pass `changeCorrelator: false` on TS-initiated refreshes; make correlator
+  behavior a documented, configurable decision.
+- `enableSingleRequest()` only when GPT services are not already enabled;
+  otherwise adopt the publisher's mode and record it.
+- Ambiguous responsive resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}` instead
+  of only a console warning.
+
+### 7.9 Decomposition targets
+
+| Today                                | Target                                                                                                             |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `gpt/index.ts` (1777 LOC, 20 jobs)   | `slot_resolution`, `handoff`, `initial_load`, `ad_init`, `render_bridge`, `spa_navigation`, `beacons` + thin index |
+| `prebid/index.ts` (1671 LOC)         | adapter, shim, refresh handler (moves onto slot registry), eids, diagnostics                                       |
+| `gpt/script_guard.ts` (634 LOC)      | folded onto the 170-LOC `shared/script_guard.ts` factory the other six integrations already use                    |
+| `core/trace.ts` (record model + UI)  | `services/trace` (model) + `integrations/trace_overlay` (UI)                                                       |
+| `core/global.d.ts` (`pbjs: TsjsApi`) | real Prebid types; `TsjsApi` split into public API vs internal coordination state                                  |
+
+---
+
+### 7.10 Performance
+
+Resilience must not cost speed; several parts of this design make the library
+faster, and the rest are held to explicit budgets:
+
+**Where the design is a speedup:**
+
+- **Smaller synchronous bundle.** Consolidating `gpt/script_guard.ts` (634
+  lines) onto the shared factory, un-inlining `aps/render.ts` from three
+  bundles into one, deleting the dead bridge branch and dead expando writes,
+  and splitting the trace overlay UI out of `core` all shrink the head-blocking
+  `tsjs-unified.js`. Target: measurably smaller than today's bundle, tracked in
+  CI (size report per PR).
+- **Fewer repeated DOM walks.** Today slot resolution
+  (`findSlotElementByDivId`'s five-step ladder, iframe walks in the bridge,
+  prebid's independent re-derivation) runs per feature per pass. The slot
+  registry resolves once per slot per navigation and everyone reads the record.
+- **Bounded waits instead of blind ones.** The 10 s silent renderer timeout and
+  the "queued forever on a GPT that never loads" cases become short, telemetered
+  timeouts with fallbacks — failures surface in hundreds of milliseconds, and
+  the render-source chain moves to the next source instead of waiting.
+
+**Where the design must not regress, and how that is enforced:**
+
+- **Ad request timing is untouched.** The critical path (bids script →
+  targeting → display/refresh) gains no network calls and no awaits; adapter
+  indirection is one property read and a queue check.
+- **Telemetry is off the critical path by construction.** `sendBeacon` /
+  keepalive fetch, batched, flushed on `visibilitychange` — never awaited by
+  render code, capped in size and event count.
+- **No new long tasks.** The kernel boots synchronously in microseconds
+  (queue + registry creation); integration `install()` bodies do what their
+  import-time footers do today, just at a controlled moment.
+- **Budgets in CI:** bundle byte size per module, and a browser-spec assertion
+  that time-from-bids-script-to-first-`display()` on the reference page does
+  not regress against the recorded baseline.
+
+### 7.11 Toolchain and dependency currency
+
+The refactor starts from a current toolchain rather than dragging old versions
+through it:
+
+- **TypeScript to latest stable.** The library pins `typescript ^5.5.4` while
+  the rest of the stack (vite 7, vitest 4, typescript-eslint 8) is current;
+  upgrade TS first and adopt the newer strictness the refactor wants anyway
+  (`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
+  `verbatimModuleSyntax`) — these directly serve the typing goals in 7.9
+  (killing `as unknown as` escapes and the wrong `global.d.ts` declaration).
+- **Dev toolchain to latest stable:** eslint (+ plugins), prettier, jsdom,
+  `@playwright/test` in the browser-test package, and `@types/node` aligned to
+  the pinned Node in `.tool-versions`. Each bump lands as its own mechanical PR
+  gated by the full CI matrix, with changelog review — this library
+  monkeypatches globals (`fetch`, `sendBeacon`, DOM prototypes), so jsdom and
+  Playwright behavior changes are real risks, not formalities.
+- **`prebid.js` is deliberately excluded from casual bumps.** The runtime
+  Prebid is the external R2 bundle, version-locked by manifest hash and SRI;
+  the npm `prebid.js` dependency exists for tests and type
+  references. Upgrading Prebid is its own coordinated deploy (bundle + config
+  sha + server), per the decoupled-shim process — the spec only requires that
+  the npm pin and the deployed bundle version stay documented together so
+  tests exercise the version production runs.
+- **Standing policy:** dependencies are reviewed on a monthly cadence and
+  before each phase of this migration begins; a phase never starts on a
+  toolchain more than one minor behind latest stable. Version floors live in
+  `package.json` (exact or caret pins as today) and CI runs on the pinned
+  Node/npm from `.tool-versions`.
+
+## 8. Migration plan (phased, each phase independently shippable)
+
+- **Phase 0 — Observability and toolchain.** Beacon + ingest route + server
+  drop-reason surfacing + reason codes on today's silent returns. Toolchain
+  currency (7.11): TypeScript and dev-dependency upgrades land here, before
+  any structural change, so every later phase type-checks against the compiler
+  it will ship with. No runtime behavior change.
+- **Phase 1 — APS correctness.** Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.6 (admission,
+  token, endpoint, bridge). Verified by Phase 0 data and the new tests. This
+  phase alone should make APS render wherever configuration permits.
+- **Phase 2 — GPT correctness.** Restore #922 attribution/orphan recovery
+  (with #997), correlator, SRA guard. Render-source chain + opt-in direct
+  fallback (6.3).
+- **Phase 3 — Structure.** Layering + boundary lint, `install()` lifecycle,
+  adapters, slot registry, messaging module, schema generation (6.4).
+- **Phase 4 — Decomposition.** File splits, script-guard consolidation,
+  bootstrap shrink. Pure moves under the existing vitest + browser specs,
+  landed one module per PR.
+
+Each phase gates on: all existing CI (Rust + JS + browser specs) green, plus
+its own new tests; no phase depends on a later one.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Alternatives considered
+
+1. **Keep patching APS point-failures without telemetry.** Rejected: three
+   consecutive correct fixes have not produced ads; without disposition data
+   the next fix is another guess.
+2. **Direct-render APS always (skip GAM/PUC).** Simplest render path, but
+   changes GAM reporting/pacing semantics unilaterally; kept as the opt-in
+   fallback (6.3) instead.
+3. **Full library rewrite in one branch.** Rejected: the browser-spec safety
+   net is thin in exactly the areas being changed; phased extraction under
+   tests is slower but survivable.
+4. **Drop the ES5 bootstrap entirely (bundle-only).** Cleanest, but loses the
+   pinned "ads still render if the bundle fails" guarantee; the
+   generated-fallback approach (7.6) keeps that guarantee without the dual
+   maintenance.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Risks
+
+- **Mediator merge policy (6.1)** changes auction economics where a mediator is
+  configured; mitigated by the explicit `mediator_only` strategy and the
+  delivery-report visibility.
+- **Beacon volume**: bounded by batching, sampling, and closed enums; the
+  ingest route is fire-and-forget and cannot block rendering.
+- **Schema generation** adds a build step; mitigated by checking generated
+  artifacts into the tree and diffing them in CI.
+- **Bootstrap shrink** touches the most load-order-sensitive code in the
+  product; it is deliberately last (Phase 4) and behind the browser specs.
+
+## 11. Success criteria
+
+1. APS creatives render on a reference page in each configured flow (SSAT,
+   Prebid adapter, page-bids), proven by browser specs and by disposition
+   telemetry from a staged deployment.
+2. Every failure point in section 2 maps to a distinct, observable signal
+   (server log, telemetry row, or beacon reason).
+3. `eslint` boundary rules pass with zero exceptions; no integration imports
+   another integration; `core`/`kernel` imports no integration.
+4. No file in `src/` exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
+   generated.
+5. Trace counts are per-impression (no double counting), and orphaned-slot
+   recovery is covered by a non-vacuous test.
+6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs`; no expando properties on GPT
+   slots, GPT functions, or `pbjs`; the dead `__tsRenderGeneration` /
+   `__tsRenderBid` writes are gone.
+7. The synchronous bundle is no larger than today's (target: smaller), and the
+   reference-page time-from-bids-script-to-first-`display()` does not regress.
+8. No existing warning is lost: every issue-surfacing condition logs at `warn`
+   or above in the console, with the same reason code the beacon carries.
+9. TypeScript and the dev toolchain are on latest stable (with the new
+   strictness flags enabled), `prebid.js`'s npm pin matches the documented
+   deployed bundle version, and the monthly review policy is in CI docs.
+
+## 12. Open questions
+
+1. Is a mediator configured in the affected production deployment? (Decides
+   whether A1 is the primary cause or a latent one.)
+2. What share of live APS demand is `tagtype: "script"`? (Decides how urgent
+   the `allow_script_creatives` enablement guidance is.)
+3. Should the direct-render fallback (6.3) ever become default-on for
+   publishers without GAM line items for `hb_bidder=aps`?
+4. Is PR #997 the intended restoration of the lost #922 attribution core, or
+   should the original be re-merged?
+5. Beacon endpoint naming and retention: `/_ts/client-events` vs folding into
+   the existing telemetry namespace.

+# GPT Delivery Evidence and Auction Competition Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use
+> superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or
+> superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use
+> checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Correct and extend the existing GPT diagnostics attribution branch so
+one request cycle shows direct-SSAT versus Prebid path evidence, GAM facts, PUC
+selection, markup-response progress, and honest ambiguity without publisher
+code changes.
+
+**Architecture:** Evolve the branch in place. Preserve its documented GPT event
+observer, normalized GAM identifiers, response classification, bounded lifecycle
+store, browser export, overlay, and badges. Replace only the positive-only
+candidate/single-claim layer with generation-safe path markers and an opaque,
+bounded creative-attempt state machine; instrument the existing `adInit`,
+render-bridge, and Prebid-refresh boundaries without changing delivery order.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Vitest/jsdom, GPT event/slot object identity,
+Prebid.js refresh wrapper, browser `MessagePort`, Prettier, ESLint, Vite build,
+VitePress docs.
+
+**Spec:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-04-gpt-delivery-evidence-and-auction-competition-design.md`
+
+---
+
+## Existing Branch Treatment
+
+Do not revert commit `7fa4d4cb`. Retain these parts:
+
+- `GptDiagnosticsAdManagerIdentity` and documented GAM ID normalization;
+- `GptDiagnosticsResponseClass`, with the one correction that an omitted
+  `isEmpty` must not become `unclassified_non_empty`;
+- all six GPT listeners and callback coverage accounting;
+- exact current-DOM iframe-source plus slot/ad-ID bridge ownership checks;
+- inline/cache rendering, size handling, macro expansion, beacon behavior, and
+  in-flight cache deduplication;
+- bounded GPT slots/cycles/callback issues, exact DOM binding, browser-local
+  export, overlay mounting, and badge positioning;
+- the existing `adInitRefreshInProgress` bypass and Prebid refresh behavior.
+
+Delete rather than alias these unshipped branch-only contracts:
+
+- `recordTrustedServerCandidate`;
+- `recordTrustedServerClaim`;
+- `trustedServerCandidate` and `trustedServerClaimAtMs`;
+- delivery values `trusted_server` and `other_demand`.
+
+No Rust, React/Next.js, publisher JavaScript, publisher markup, or GAM
+configuration file changes belong in this plan.
+
+### Atomic migration rule
+
+Tasks 1-6 replace one unshipped public contract and must land as one atomic
+implementation commit. Do not commit their intermediate checkpoints: after the
+types/API change, the old store and GPT callers are temporarily stale; after the
+store change, the old GPT/UI tests are temporarily stale. Adding compatibility
+aliases would preserve the misleading semantics this work removes. Run each
+focused RED/GREEN checkpoint while developing, then run the combined affected
+suite and commit only at the end of Task 6, after every caller and presentation
+has migrated.

+
+### Task 1: Replace the Public Attribution Contract and Make Writers Safe
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts:109-258`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.ts:1-120`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing public-type compatibility tests.**
+
+Keep the existing base-shaped `GptDiagnosticsExportV1` object with none of the
+new optional fields. Add a full evidence-shaped cycle and attribution issue:
+
+```ts
+const evidenceCycle: GptDiagnosticsRequestCycle = {
+  requestNumber: 2,
+  durations: {},
+  incompleteSequence: false,
+  requestPath: 'competing',
+  trustedServerOpportunity: 'renderable_candidate',
+  trustedServerCreativeRequestAtMs: 20,
+  trustedServerCreativeResponseAtMs: 25,
+  trustedServerCreativeFailures: ['cache_fetch_failed'],
+  delivery: 'trusted_server_response_sent',
+}
+
+const issue: GptDiagnosticsAttributionIssue = {
+  reason: 'creative_attempt_expired',
+  timestampMs: 30,
+}
+```
+
+Assert that version 1 still accepts the old object and that neither type exposes
+prices, targeting, bid IDs, markup, cache URLs, or payloads.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write failing API tests.**
+
+Use a small fake `ApiStore` to assert all five writer calls delegate exact
+arguments, the creative-request call returns its numeric attempt ID, and every
+throwing writer is swallowed. A throwing creative-request writer must return
+`undefined`.
+
+Extend the snapshot test to require detached copies of:
+
+- `attributionIssues`;
+- `trustedServerCreativeFailures`;
+- `adManager.yieldGroupIds` and `adManager.companyIds`;
+- `metadata.droppedAttributionIssues`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the focused tests and confirm RED.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx tsc --noEmit \
+  --skipLibCheck \
+  --target ES2022 \
+  --module ESNext \
+  --moduleResolution Bundler \
+  --lib ES2022,DOM,DOM.Iterable \
+  --types vitest/globals \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts
+npx vitest run \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: the narrow `tsc` command reports missing evidence types and Vitest
+reports the missing writer API. Do not substitute repository-wide `tsc`; it has
+unrelated baseline failures.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Replace the branch-only public types.**
+
+Add these unions and fields to `core/types.ts`:
+
+```ts
+export type GptDiagnosticsRequestPath =
+  | 'trusted_server_direct'
+  | 'prebid_refresh'
+  | 'competing'
+  | 'unattributed'
+
+export type GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity =
+  | 'renderable_candidate'
+  | 'unrenderable_candidate'
+  | 'no_candidate'
+
+export type GptDiagnosticsCreativeFailure =
+  | 'missing_render_source'
+  | 'cache_fetch_failed'
+  | 'invalid_cache_payload'
+  | 'response_post_failed'
+
+export type GptDiagnosticsDelivery =
+  | 'trusted_server_response_sent'
+  | 'trusted_server_selected'
+  | 'candidate_unconfirmed'
+  | 'no_candidate'
+  | 'unknown'
+  | 'pending'
+  | 'not_applicable'
+```
+
+Replace the candidate/claim fields on `GptDiagnosticsRequestCycle` with optional
+`requestPath`, `trustedServerOpportunity`, the two creative timestamps, and a
+creative-failure array. Define the spec's eight-value attribution-issue reason
+union, including `creative_attempt_capacity`. Add optional `attributionIssues` and
+`droppedAttributionIssues` fields to the public V1 shape so existing V1 object
+literals remain source-compatible; current snapshots will always emit them.
+
+Replace the two old `GptDiagnosticsApi` writers with:
+
+```ts
+recordTrustedServerOpportunity(slot, auctionSlotId, opportunity): void;
+recordPrebidRefresh(slots): void;
+recordTrustedServerCreativeRequest(auctionSlotId): number | undefined;
+recordTrustedServerCreativeResponse(attemptId): void;
+recordTrustedServerCreativeFailure(attemptId, reason): void;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement no-throw API delegation and detached export.**
+
+Use narrow safety helpers in `api.ts`:
+
+```ts
+function safelyRecord(action: () => void): void {
+  try {
+    action()
+  } catch {
+    // Diagnostics must not alter delivery.
+  }
+}
+
+function safelyCreateAttempt(
+  action: () => number | undefined
+): number | undefined {
+  try {
+    return action()
+  } catch {
+    return undefined
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Delegate only through those helpers. Explicitly copy nested identity arrays,
+failure arrays, and attribution issues in `snapshot()`; do not rely on a shallow
+`{ ...cycle }` for nested values.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the focused tests and confirm GREEN.**
+
+Run the Step 3 commands. Expected: narrow type-check and both test files pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Record the checkpoint without committing.**
+
+Confirm only the Task 1 focused tests pass. Continue directly to Task 2 under
+the atomic migration rule; do not add temporary store adapters or commit yet.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Attribute Request Paths and Derive Delivery Without Guessing
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.ts:1-205,285-380,466-500`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the old candidate/verdict tests with failing table tests.**
+
+Cover:
+
+- direct, Prebid, competing, and unattributed paths;
+- all three opportunity values;
+- one-shot marker consumption;
+- five-second marker expiry at `age >= 5_000`;
+- a delayed old expiry callback not deleting a newer generation;
+- explicit non-empty candidates moving `pending` → `candidate_unconfirmed` from
+  `slotRenderEnded + 5_000`;
+- explicit `no_candidate`, no opportunity (`unknown`), omitted `isEmpty`
+  (`unknown`), empty and pre-render (`not_applicable`);
+- no branch returning or displaying `other_demand`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the store tests and confirm RED.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: failures on removed candidate/claim semantics and missing path markers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add generation-safe one-shot path markers.**
+
+Add constants and internal shapes:
+
+```ts
+export const REQUEST_PATH_ATTRIBUTION_WINDOW_MS = 5_000
+export const TRUSTED_SERVER_ATTRIBUTION_WINDOW_MS = 5_000
+
+interface PendingMarker<T> {
+  generation: number
+  recordedAtMs: number
+  value: T
+}
+```
+
+Replace `pendingCandidates: WeakSet` with two `WeakMap<object, PendingMarker<...>>`
+instances. `recordTrustedServerOpportunity` must:
+
+1. runtime-validate the opportunity enum;
+2. refresh the bounded auction-slot → GPT-slot association;
+3. create one direct marker with a monotonically increasing generation;
+4. schedule expiry that deletes only when the stored generation still matches.
+
+It must not mutate an already-open request cycle. That current behavior can
+mark both the open cycle and the next cycle.
+
+`recordPrebidRefresh` installs equivalent markers for each valid slot object.
+`recordSlotRequested` time-checks and consumes both markers even when a deferred
+expiry callback has not run, then records:
+
+```ts
+const requestPath =
+  direct && prebid
+    ? 'competing'
+    : direct
+      ? 'trusted_server_direct'
+      : prebid
+        ? 'prebid_refresh'
+        : 'unattributed'
+```
+
+Only a consumed direct marker supplies `trustedServerOpportunity`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement evidence-only response and delivery derivation.**
+
+Correct `responseClass()` first:
+
+```ts
+if (cycle.renderAtMs === undefined) return undefined
+if (cycle.isEmpty === true) return 'empty'
+if (cycle.isEmpty !== false) return undefined
+if (cycle.isBackfill === true) return 'backfill'
+```
+
+Derive delivery in the approved order:
+
+```ts
+if (cycle.trustedServerCreativeResponseAtMs !== undefined)
+  return 'trusted_server_response_sent'
+if (cycle.trustedServerCreativeRequestAtMs !== undefined)
+  return 'trusted_server_selected'
+if (cycle.renderAtMs === undefined || cycle.isEmpty === true)
+  return 'not_applicable'
+if (cycle.isEmpty !== false) return 'unknown'
+if (cycle.trustedServerOpportunity === 'no_candidate') return 'no_candidate'
+if (cycle.trustedServerOpportunity === undefined) return 'unknown'
+return nowMs - cycle.renderAtMs >= TRUSTED_SERVER_ATTRIBUTION_WINDOW_MS
+  ? 'candidate_unconfirmed'
+  : 'pending'
+```
+
+Schedule only one diagnostic re-notification at the observation boundary, and
+only for an explicit non-empty render with a renderable or unrenderable
+candidate. The timer must never trigger GPT or Prebid work.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the store tests and confirm GREEN.**
+
+Run the Step 2 command. Expected: all existing lifecycle tests and the new path/
+delivery tables pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Record the checkpoint without committing.**
+
+Continue directly to Task 3. The store's creative writers and the migrated GPT
+caller do not exist yet, so this is intentionally not a commit boundary.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3: Correlate Creative Requests and Responses with Bounded Attempts
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.ts:55-90,180-285,295-545,600-630`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing creative-attempt and issue tests.**
+
+Use deterministic `now`, `defer`, and fake GPT slot objects to cover:
+
+- matched request → `trusted_server_selected` → response-sent;
+- a creative request/response arriving after candidate timeout upgrading
+  `candidate_unconfirmed` rather than being rejected as negative evidence;
+- duplicate/retry returning the same live ID without replacing first timestamp;
+- unique, first-observed failure ordering, then in-window success;
+- an async response remaining on its originating cycle after a newer refresh;
+- initial pre-render provisional attachment;
+- ambiguous pre-render request when an earlier non-empty cycle remains;
+- render with omitted `isEmpty` accepting positive PUC evidence;
+- explicit empty rejection and provisional-then-empty inconsistency;
+- cycle admission outside 30 seconds;
+- missing auction-slot association → `creative_request_without_slot`;
+- known slot association without a compatible request cycle →
+  `creative_request_without_cycle`;
+- attempt expiry with no replacement ID;
+- unknown, expired, and evicted attempt IDs;
+- request-cycle and slot-LRU eviction invalidation;
+- oldest tombstone reclamation at 128 records;
+- all-128-live capacity rejection;
+- attribution-issue cap/drop metadata without changing the GPT callback coverage
+  equation;
+- detached failure arrays, attribution issues, `yieldGroupIds`, and `companyIds`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the store test and confirm RED.**
+
+Run Task 2 Step 2. Expected: failures for the missing attempt API and issue store.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the bounded attribution-issue collection.**
+
+Add `MAX_ATTRIBUTION_ISSUES = 128`, a dedicated array, and
+`metadata.droppedAttributionIssues`. `addAttributionIssue()` must accept optional
+slot identity and never manufacture runtime slot `0`. It must not call
+`addIssue()`, increment callback coverage, or change `droppedCallbacks`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add opaque attempt bookkeeping outside exported cycles.**
+
+Use constants and private records equivalent to:
+
+```ts
+export const CREATIVE_ATTEMPT_WINDOW_MS = 30_000
+export const MAX_CREATIVE_ATTEMPTS = 128
+
+type AttemptStatus = 'live' | 'completed' | 'expired' | 'evicted'
+
+interface CreativeAttemptRecord {
+  id: number
+  cycle?: MutableRequestCycle
+  runtimeSlotNumber?: number
+  slotElementId?: string
+  requestedAtMs: number
+  expiresAtMs: number
+  provisionalBeforeRender: boolean
+  status: AttemptStatus
+}
+```
+
+Keep `cycle → attempt ID` in a `WeakMap`; never add the attempt ID or status to
+the exported cycle object. Before admission at capacity, remove the oldest
+completed/expired/evicted record. If all records are live, add
+`creative_attempt_capacity` and return `undefined`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement creative-request admission exactly.**
+
+`recordTrustedServerCreativeRequest(auctionSlotId)` must:
+
+1. expire due live attempts;
+2. resolve the bounded auction-slot association and greatest request-number
+   cycle;
+3. reuse that cycle's existing live attempt before checking new-admission age;
+4. return `undefined` for a completed attempt and issue/no-replace for an
+   expired or evicted attempt;
+5. reject a new attempt when request-cycle age is `> 30_000`;
+6. reject an explicitly empty cycle;
+7. accept a rendered cycle with `isEmpty !== true`;
+8. accept a pre-render cycle only when no earlier retained explicit non-empty
+   cycle is still inside 30 seconds;
+9. write only the first creative-request timestamp and return the opaque ID.
+
+If a cycle already has `trustedServerCreativeResponseAtMs`, return `undefined`
+even when its completed tombstone has been reclaimed. If all attempt records are
+live, retain the first positive creative-request timestamp, add the capacity
+issue, and return no ID; a later duplicate may retry first-time admission only
+because that cycle has never received an attempt ID.
+
+Runtime-validate all JavaScript-callable enum inputs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Implement response, failure, expiry, and eviction transitions.**
+
+- `recordTrustedServerCreativeResponse(id)` sets the first response timestamp
+  and completes only a live, unexpired attempt.
+- `recordTrustedServerCreativeFailure(id, reason)` validates the four-value
+  allowlist and appends each reason once while the attempt remains live.
+- Failure is non-terminal; an in-window success may still complete it.
+- Completed repeats are idempotent no-ops.
+- At attempt age `>= 30_000`, late mutation adds `creative_attempt_expired`.
+- Request-cycle shift and slot eviction mark related live attempts evicted before
+  removing their cycle.
+- A provisional request followed by explicit empty retains the positive request

+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Record the checkpoint without committing.**
+
+Continue directly to Task 4. The new core contract is internally implemented,
+but `gpt/index.ts`, Prebid, overlay, badges, and their tests still need migration.
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Emit Opportunity and Creative-progress Evidence from GPT Integration
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts:25-40,650-670,1117-1268`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts:115-205,1420-1660`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the two existing attribution tests with failing staged tests.**
+
+For `adInit`, assert:
+
+- bid targeting plus `hb_adid` and inline `adm` → `renderable_candidate`;
+- bid targeting plus `hb_adid` and complete cache coordinates →
+  `renderable_candidate`;
+- some bid targeting but no usable ID/source → `unrenderable_candidate`;
+- no non-empty bid-targeting value → explicit `no_candidate`;
+- a throwing diagnostics stub does not stop targeting or the GPT display/refresh.
+
+For the bridge, assert:
+
+- exact-owned request returns/retains the diagnostic attempt ID;
+- inline and cache response evidence occurs only after successful `postMessage`;
+- missing source, cache HTTP/network failure, invalid payload, and thrown
+  `postMessage` record exactly one corresponding safe failure;
+- a cache `postMessage` failure is not also classified as a cache-fetch failure;
+- another slot/ad ID emits no Trusted Server evidence;
+- diagnostics absent or throwing leaves propagation, rendered response, and
+  beacon behavior unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the GPT integration tests and confirm RED.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Classify every resolved adInit opportunity.**
+
+Add a pure helper using only booleans:
+
+```ts
+function trustedServerOpportunity(
+  bid: AuctionBidData
+): GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity {
+  const hasBidTargeting = TS_BID_TARGETING_KEYS.some((key) => {
+    const value = bid[key]
+    return typeof value === 'string' && value.length > 0
+  })
+  if (!hasBidTargeting) return 'no_candidate'
+
+  const hasAdId = typeof bid.hb_adid === 'string' && bid.hb_adid.length > 0
+  const hasInline = typeof bid.adm === 'string' && bid.adm.length > 0
+  const hasCache = Boolean(bid.hb_cache_host && bid.hb_cache_path)
+  return hasAdId && (hasInline || hasCache)
+    ? 'renderable_candidate'
+    : 'unrenderable_candidate'
+}
+```
+
+At the existing call position after targeting, report an opportunity for every
+resolved GPT slot, including no-candidate slots. Pass only slot identity,
+auction-slot ID, and the enum. Wrap the external diagnostics invocation in
+`try/catch`; optional chaining alone does not protect ads from a throwing stub.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Split bridge selection from response evidence.**
+
+After the existing iframe-source and exact slot/ad-ID checks:
+
+```ts
+const attemptId = safelyCreateDiagnosticsAttempt(slotId)
+```
+
+Record `missing_render_source` when neither inline markup nor complete cache
+coordinates exist. On inline and cache success, call `port.postMessage()` first,
+then safely record the response, then retain the existing beacon/log order.
+
+Catch `postMessage` separately and record only `response_post_failed`. Keep cache
+HTTP/network rejection in the outer promise catch as `cache_fetch_failed`, and
+record `invalid_cache_payload` on a successful response that cannot produce
+`adm`. Diagnostics calls must never throw through the bridge.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run GPT tests and confirm GREEN.**
+
+Run the Step 2 command. Expected: all existing bridge behavior plus staged
+diagnostic evidence passes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Record the checkpoint without committing.**
+
+Continue under the atomic migration rule. Do not retain the old candidate/claim
+methods merely to create an intermediate commit.
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: Mark Prebid-managed GPT Requests at the Existing Refresh Boundary
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts:1171-1315`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts:991-1547,2000-2760`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing refresh-path tests.**
+
+Assert that `recordPrebidRefresh` receives the exact slot-object list immediately
+before `originalRefresh` for:
+
+- publisher-delivery refresh without a new auction;
+- completed synthetic refresh;
+- mixed SRA refresh, including delivery and independent slots;
+- synthetic timeout fallback;
+- caught synchronous auction failure.
+
+Assert exactly one mark and one GPT refresh when a late callback follows a
+timeout. Assert no mark for:
+
+- `adInitRefreshInProgress` bypass;
+- empty/invalid passthrough;
+- a path that has not reached `originalRefresh` yet.
+
+Use a throwing diagnostics stub to prove the GPT refresh still executes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run Prebid tests and confirm RED.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add a narrow safe marker helper.**
+
+```ts
+function recordPrebidRefreshForDiagnostics(slots: RefreshGptSlot[]): void {
+  try {
+    window.tsjs?.gptDiagnostics?.recordPrebidRefresh?.(slots)
+  } catch {
+    // Diagnostics must not suppress the GAM request.
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Call it only:
+
+1. immediately before `originalRefresh` when `independentSlots.length === 0`;
+2. inside `completeRefresh`, after optional targeting and immediately before the
+   one `originalRefresh`.
+
+Pass all `targetSlots`, not only `independentSlots`, so mixed SRA requests have
+one accurate path marker per GPT slot. Do not touch the adInit bypass or invalid
+passthrough branches.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run Prebid tests and confirm GREEN.**
+
+Run the Step 2 command. Expected: all current refresh behavior and new marker
+ordering tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Record the checkpoint without committing.**
+
+Continue to Task 6 so the presentation and documentation migrate before the
+atomic implementation commit.
+
+---
+
+### Task 6: Present and Document the Evidence Ladder
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.ts:115-210,450-480`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/badges.ts:76-105`
+- Modify: `docs/guide/integrations/gpt-diagnostics.md:9-105,200-235`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts:100-145`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/badges.test.ts:118-205`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Rewrite the overclaiming UI tests to fail safely.**
+
+Require the exact delivery wording from the spec and facts for:
+
+- direct, Prebid, competing, and unattributed request paths;
+- renderable, unrenderable, explicit-no-candidate, and unknown opportunities;
+- selected, response-sent, pending, candidate-unconfirmed, no-candidate,
+  unknown, and not-applicable states;
+- all four safe bridge failures;
+- GPT slot onload as an observed fact, never pixel proof;
+- attribution-issue count separate from callback-issue count.
+
+Explicitly reject these strings everywhere:
+
+```text
+creative rendered
+other demand won
+no Trusted Server creative ran
+```
+
+Update badge expectations to compact labels such as `TS response sent`,
+`TS selected`, `TS candidate`, `TS unconfirmed`, and `Competing paths`; do not
+label a GAM line-item ID as “other demand.”
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run UI tests and confirm RED.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/badges.test.ts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement evidence-safe overlay and badge facts.**
+
+Keep GAM IDs source-neutral. Show request path, opportunity, creative request,
+response, deduplicated failures, and delivery as independent lines. If a TS
+response and `slotOnload` are both present, say “GPT slot onload observed”; do
+not say the inner creative rendered or became visible.
+
+Change the summary to report both bounded issue collections, for example:
+
+```ts
+const summaryText = `${slots} slots · ${callbackIssues} callback issues · ${attributionIssues} attribution issues`
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Rewrite operator documentation.**
+
+Document:
+
+- zero publisher-code change and existing `?ts_console=true` activation;
+- request-path meanings and the “possible overwrite, not proven winner” limit;
+- candidate → PUC request → response sent → GPT onload evidence ladder;
+- why absence becomes `candidate_unconfirmed` or `unknown`, never other demand;
+- five-second path/delivery windows, 30-second attempt lifetime, and bounds;
+- safe failure enums and exported attribution issues;
+- no raw targeting, bid IDs, prices, markup, cache URLs, or upload;
+- no pixel-level proof without a controlled creative acknowledgement.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run focused UI and docs formatting checks.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx vitest run \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts \
+  test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/badges.test.ts
+npm run format
+
+cd ../../../docs
+npm run format
+```
+
+Expected: tests and both formatting checks pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the complete affected suite at the atomic boundary.**
+
+```bash
+cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib
+npx tsc --noEmit \
+  --skipLibCheck \
+  --target ES2022 \
+  --module ESNext \
+  --moduleResolution Bundler \

+  test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts \
+  test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts
+npm run lint
+npm run format
+```
+
+Expected: the narrow public-contract type-check, every affected suite, lint, and
+format pass. This is the first implementation commit boundary.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit the atomic contract/provider/consumer migration.**
+
+```bash

+### Task 7: Full Verification and Branch Review

+
+```bash
+cd docs
+npm run format
+npm run lint
+npm run build
+```
+
+Expected: docs format, lint, and site build pass.

+```
+
+Expected: every command passes. Do not replace these target-matched aliases with
+bare `cargo test --workspace`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Review the final branch delta.**
+
+```bash
+git diff --check
+git status --short
+git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
+git log --oneline origin/main..HEAD
+```
+
+Confirm:
+
+- no publisher/GAM/React changes;
+- no raw bid or creative data in diagnostics exports;
+- no negative winner inference;
+- no diagnostics exception can alter a GPT refresh or bridge response;
+- the existing GAM identity observer remains intact;
+- only expected source, test, plan/spec, and guide files changed.

Subject: [PATCH 205/494] Rework design spec after review: settle the five
 architectural contracts

Revision 2 addresses every blocking finding from the design review:
adds a client-born random trace_id envelope and drops the EC-derived
auction id from ingestion, scopes the render token to renderer-only
bids so the PBS Cache uuid contract is untouched, replaces the aps
index.ts assumption with a versioned window.tsjs._internal runtime ABI
for the IIFE build, specifies an exactly-once render state machine with
honest accepted-vs-confirmed semantics and nonempty-GAM protection,
keeps mediator_only as the default with merge as defined opt-in,
withdraws the containment dimension rule for operator-declared size
maps, renames the unobservable 404 reason to renderer_no_ready, moves
schema generation to a separate wire-schema crate with semantic
validators retained, keeps ownership-first bridge validation over
port-plus-token trust, and adds the ingest/deployment contracts
(credentials-omit transport, four-adapter routing, content-addressed
asset fix), a test acceptance matrix, and reordered phases with flags
and rollback criteria.

-## 4. Design overview
-
-Three workstreams, ordered by dependency:
-
-1. **See the failures** — client→server disposition telemetry plus surfacing
-   the server's existing drop counters. Without this, every subsequent fix is
-   another blind patch.
-2. **Fix APS delivery** — admission, identity, render chain, schema, and
-   bridge fixes, each verifiable by the new telemetry and by contract tests.
-3. **Restructure TSJS** — the kernel/adapters/services architecture that makes
-   the fixes durable and the next integration cheap.
+## 4. Design gates — the five contracts settled before implementation
+
+The design review identified five architectural contracts every later section
+depends on. This revision settles them; changing any of these later reopens the
+review.
+
+### G1 — Trace identity and event envelope
+
+**The client-visible auction id must never be ingested.** It is EC-derived by
+construction (`publisher.rs:3237`: `ts-{ec_id}` when an EC exists), and server
+telemetry already uses a deliberately unrelated fresh UUID
+(`telemetry.rs:94-97`), so a join on it is both a privacy violation and
+impossible.
+
+Contract:
+
+- A **`trace_id`** is minted client-side per navigation: 128-bit CSPRNG
+  (`crypto.getRandomValues`), hex-encoded, held in `PageSession`, never
+  persisted, never derived from any identity.
+- Every event carries the envelope `{trace_id, nav_gen, render_gen, seq}`.
+  `seq` is a per-trace monotonic counter (ordering + deduplication);
+  `nav_gen`/`render_gen` scope events to a navigation and a refresh cycle, so a
+  batch that spans SPA navigations remains attributable per event, not per
+  batch.
+- The **server** stamps the same `trace_id` into its own telemetry rows by
+  reading it from the beacon, never the reverse: server auction rows keep their
+  independent telemetry UUID, and correlation happens only where the client
+  reported a `trace_id` alongside the events it observed. Failures with no
+  winning bid therefore still have a trace: the trace is client-born, not
+  auction-born.
+- **Sampling is sticky per trace** (decided once at trace mint, recorded in the
+  envelope), never per event — a sampled trace is complete or absent.
+
+### G2 — Render identity: `hb_adid`, the APS token, and the PBS Cache UUID
+
+**The PBS Cache contract stays untouched.** Today `hb_adid` deliberately
+prefers the Prebid Cache UUID (`publisher.rs:3355`), and both the emitted cache
+coordinates and the bridge's cache fetch assume `?uuid=<hb_adid>`
+(`publisher.rs:3450`, `gpt/index.ts:1700`) — that is the Prebid Universal
+Creative's documented contract. Revision 1's "token for every SSAT bid" would
+have broken every cache-backed render and is withdrawn.
+
+Contract:
+
+- Bids with a cache id: `hb_adid` = cache UUID, exactly as today.
+- Bids with markup and no cache id: `hb_adid` = existing fallback chain
+  (`ad_id`, then bid id), exactly as today.
+- **Renderer-only bids (APS): `hb_adid` = a server-minted render token**,
+  format `^[a-z0-9]{12}$` (12 chars exactly), CSPRNG-generated with collision
+  retry within the auction, unique across slots and auctions, one-time
+  consumption in the bridge registry, TTL-bounded. Twelve characters sit well
+  inside GAM's documented 40-character targeting-value limit.
+- The client-side Prebid adapter path keeps Prebid's generated `adId` (that is
+  Prebid's own contract); both paths register into one bridge registry keyed by
+  whichever id that path will observe.
+- Regression tests: non-APS cache-backed bids keep byte-identical `hb_adid`
+  and cache coordinates; the token property test asserts `^[a-z0-9]{12}$`,
+  uniqueness, one-time consumption, and TTL expiry.
+
+### G3 — Runtime ABI: how code shares state under the IIFE build
+
+Every entry point is built as a self-contained IIFE with dynamic imports
+inlined (`build-all.mjs:46`), and the server concatenates already-closed IIFEs
+(`bundle.rs:23`). **A module `import` therefore never shares state across
+bundles** — an `aps/index.ts` alone would just mint another private copy. This
+is already a live defect beyond APS: `core/context.ts:11` holds a private
+context-provider `Map` while `permutive/index.ts:102` registers into its own
+independently bundled copy.
+
+Contract — **a versioned registration ABI on `window.tsjs._internal`**:
+
+- The kernel ships **only** in `tsjs-core` (always first in the concatenated
+  unified bundle) and publishes `tsjs._internal = { abi: 1, registry }` exactly
+  once, guarded by a window-level sentinel.
+- All **stateful** services (slot registry, render state machine, APS renderer
+  registry, context providers, event bus, beacon queue) exist once, owned by
+  the kernel, and are reached **only** through
+  `tsjs._internal.registry.get(name, minVersion)` at call time — never through
+  imported module state. Pure stateless helpers may still be imported and
+  inlined freely.
+- Deferred bundles (prebid) and later scripts interact through the same ABI;
+  `abi` majors are checked at lookup and a mismatch is a logged, telemetered
+  refusal, not a silent no-op.
+- The alternative (single module graph / shared chunks emitted by the build and
+  loaded as real modules) is recorded as the long-term option; the ABI is
+  chosen now because it works under today's concatenation and deferred
+  loading without changing the delivery pipeline.
+- This gate precedes and unblocks: the event bus, the slot registry, the
+  install registry, `PageSession`, the messaging service, and fixes the
+  context-provider split as its first proof.
+
+### G4 — Exactly-once render state machine, and honest success semantics
+
+**Absence of a bridge request is not proof GAM failed** — GAM may legitimately
+serve a different, higher-priority creative without ever invoking the TS
+bridge. And **`renderer-ready` means Amazon's runner script loaded, not that an
+ad painted** (`aps.rs:105`); the current direct renderer returns `true`
+immediately while the real outcome settles asynchronously for up to ten
+seconds (`render.ts:318`).
+
+Contract:
+
+- One render state machine per placement instance, keyed by
+  `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, render_token)`, with exactly-once
+  terminal transition. States:
+  `targeting_set → bridge_claimed | gam_filled_other | fallback_running →
+render_accepted → render_confirmed | render_failed(reason)`.
+- **The fallback never replaces a nonempty GAM render.** Any bridge claim or
+  nonempty `slotRenderEnded` cancels a pending fallback; an **empty**
+  `slotRenderEnded` may trigger it; navigation, refresh, handoff, and slot
+  destruction invalidate stale attempts.
+- The renderer API becomes awaitable with cancellation and an explicit
+  terminal reason; no fire-and-forget `true`.
+- Event taxonomy replaces the single `render_ok`:
+  - `bridge_response_sent` — the bridge handed a payload to the PUC;
+  - `render_accepted` — the renderer document loaded Amazon's runner
+    (today's "ready");
+  - `render_confirmed` — observed evidence of a paint (nonempty
+    `slotRenderEnded` for GAM fills; for the sandboxed renderer, iframe
+    load + non-collapsed geometry where observable).
+- **Billing/win callbacks fire no earlier than `render_accepted`, and
+  `render_confirmed` is the only state reported as success.** Where APS
+  provides no paint acknowledgement, the design says so plainly: telemetry can
+  distinguish "runner loaded" from "nothing loaded," but **cannot distinguish
+  a painted ad from a blank one** inside the opaque frame — rows terminate at
+  `render_accepted` and are labeled as such, not upgraded.
+
+### G5 — Deployment contracts
+
+- **Config rollback:** every new auction/config field is default-valued and
+  **omitted from serialization at its default** (`AuctionConfig` denies
+  unknown fields, `auction_config_types.rs:7`), so blobs written by a new
+  binary remain readable by the previous one unless an operator opts in.
+- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in **all four adapters**
+  (Fastly, Axum, Cloudflare, Spin) as an early, EC-free, filter-free route.
+  Only Fastly has a real telemetry sink today; the no-sink behavior elsewhere
+  is "accept, count, drop" — defined, not accidental.
+- **Storage:** a new dedicated datasource for client events (the existing
+  auction datasource cannot hold the shape without migration); schema,
+  retention, and sampling documented with the datasource definition.
+- **Asset content-addressing is fixed, not assumed.** Script URLs embed a
+  content hash but the handler ignores the query and serves current registry
+  bytes from the path alone (`tsjs.rs:3`, `publisher.rs:294`) — during a
+  rolling deploy an old `?v=A` request can receive bytes `B` and cache them
+  under `A`. The handler must validate the requested hash and serve the
+  matching immutable artifact (or answer with the current hash's redirect);
+  rolling-deploy cache tests pin this.
+- **Phase ordering** follows section 9; every phase ships behind a feature
+  flag with canary thresholds and rollback criteria.

 ] }
 ```
 
-- Transport: `navigator.sendBeacon` with `fetch` keepalive fallback; batched
-  (flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s); capped payload.
-- Server side: a bounded, sampled log/telemetry row per event class, joining on
-  the auction id the server already logs. No KV writes, no PII, no cookies.
-- The existing `recordRender` funnel becomes a producer for this beacon, so the
-  in-page trace overlay and the server see the same stream.
-
-`reason` enums are the contract: `renderer_endpoint_404`,
-`renderer_ready_timeout`, `descriptor_invalid`, `bridge_id_mismatch`,
-`gam_empty`, `no_render_source`, `slot_unresolved`, `gpt_absent`, and so on.
-Every silent `return` found by the audit gets a reason code.
-
-### 5.2 Surface the server's own drop counters
-
-- Log `drop_reasons` at `warn` when an APS response yields zero admitted bids.
-- Add `drop_reasons` to auction telemetry rows and to the `ts-debug` comment
-  allowlist (SSAT and page-bids paths).
-- Startup validation warning when `[integrations.aps]` is enabled while
-  `allow_script_creatives = false`: "script-type APS demand will be dropped."
-- Startup validation warning when APS (or any direct provider) is configured
-  alongside a mediator, until Workstream 2 makes that combination meaningful.
-
-**Exit criterion:** an operator can answer "which of the failure points in
-section 2 is firing on this page" from server logs alone, with one page load.
+- **Transport:** `fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` is the
+  primary transport, because `sendBeacon` always sends credentials and its
+  `true` return only means "queued," not "received." `sendBeacon` remains the
+  documented last-resort fallback on `pagehide` where keepalive is
+  unavailable, and the ingest handler ignores credentials in all cases.
+- **Batching:** flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s; each
+  event self-describes its navigation via the envelope, so batches spanning
+  SPA navigations stay attributable.
+- **Reasons are a closed enum**, structurally serialized (never interpolated
+  into log lines): `renderer_no_ready`, `descriptor_invalid`,
+  `bridge_id_mismatch`, `gam_empty`, `gam_filled_other`, `no_render_source`,
+  `slot_unresolved`, `gpt_absent`, `pbjs_absent`, `bundle_partial`,
+  `fallback_cancelled`, `timeout`. `renderer_no_ready` (not
+  `renderer_endpoint_404`) is deliberate: the opaque iframe cannot read an
+  HTTP status, so the observable fact is "no ready message before timeout."
+
+### 5.2 Ingest contract
+
+- Registered in all four adapters before auth/EC/filters (G5); same-origin
+  enforced via `Origin`/`Sec-Fetch-Site` checks; hard caps on body bytes,
+  event count, and string lengths **enforced before parsing or logging**;
+  malformed rows dropped and counted; per-IP rate limiting; responds
+  `204 Cache-Control: no-store`; touches no KV and mints no identity.
+- Server logs a bounded, structured summary per batch; the Fastly sink writes
+  to the new datasource (G5); other adapters count-and-drop until a sink
+  exists.
+
+### 5.3 Two modes, honestly separated
+
+A sampled, best-effort beacon **cannot** guarantee a complete diagnosis from
+one page load — so the design stops claiming it:
+
+- **Production telemetry:** sticky-sampled traces, SLO "a delivery failure
+  mode occurring on ≥ N% of impressions is visible in the datasource within
+  one hour."
+- **Diagnostic mode:** explicitly enabled (tester cookie / query flag),
+  unsampled, full event stream plus console mirroring — this is the "one page
+  load tells you which failure fired" tool.
+
+### 5.4 Server-side drop-reason surfacing
+
+- Emit a bounded structured summary **whenever any bid is dropped** (not only
+  when zero survive): per-slot reason counts, capped.
+- Add `drop_reasons` to auction telemetry rows.
+- The initial-HTML `ts-debug` comment gains the drop summary; `/_ts/page-bids`
+  returns JSON and **cannot carry an HTML comment**, so it gains a gated
+  structured `debug` field instead, enabled by the same tester gate.
+- Startup validation warnings: APS enabled while `allow_script_creatives =
+false` ("script-type APS demand will be dropped"); any direct provider
+  configured alongside a mediator without the merge strategy of 6.1 ("provider
+  bids cannot win as configured").
 
 ---
 
 ## 6. Workstream 2 — APS delivery fixes
 
-### 6.1 Admission
-
-- **Mediated auctions must not discard direct-provider winners (A1).** New
-  winner-merge policy: after the mediator responds, direct-provider bids
-  compete per slot by decoded CPM against mediator bids under a configurable
-  strategy: `mediator_only` (today's behavior, explicit), `merge_highest_cpm`
-  (new default). The delivery report gains
-  `dropped_winner_reasons["mediator_superseded"]` so the loser is visible.
-- **Dimension tolerance (A3).** Replace exact `w`×`h` equality with a
-  containment rule: an APS bid is admitted when its size fits within any
-  configured format for the slot (never larger on either axis); the served size
-  is reported in targeting. Exact match stays preferred when available.
-- **Script creatives (A2).** Keep the secure default (`false`) but make the
-  consequence loud (5.2) and document the enablement path for TAM-heavy
-  publishers. The renderer sandbox already isolates script tag types; this is a
-  policy toggle, not new machinery.
-
-### 6.2 Render identity: one short token
-
-Introduce a server-generated **render token** — 12 chars, `[a-z0-9]`, unique per
-(auction, slot) — emitted as `hb_adid` for every SSAT bid and used as the key in
-every registry and bridge branch:
-
-- Well inside GAM's 40-char value limit and charset rules (B1).
-- The bid map carries `{ hb_adid: token, bid_id, renderer, … }`; the bridge
-  matches on the token; billing/win URLs keep using the real bid id.
-- The client-side Prebid adapter path keeps Prebid's generated `adId` (that
-  contract is Prebid's own), but registration for both paths lands in **one**
-  registry keyed by whichever token the path will observe (B2).
-- Property test: every emitted `hb_adid` matches `^[a-z0-9-]{1,40}$`.
-
-### 6.3 Render source chain with a GAM-claim timeout
-
-A winning bid becomes an ordered list of render sources:
-`renderer → inline adm → pbs-cache`. The render engine walks the chain, emitting
-`render_attempt` / `render_ok` / `render_fail{reason}` per step.
-
-For flow (a)/(c), add the missing fallback (C1): when targeting was set for a
-slot and **no bridge request arrives within N seconds of `slotRenderEnded`
-(empty) or within M seconds of refresh**, and the config opts in
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`), render the descriptor
-directly into the slot container via the existing `renderApsCreative` path. The
-fallback is opt-in because it changes GAM reporting semantics; the beacon makes
-the "GAM never asked" case visible either way.
-
-### 6.4 One descriptor schema
-
-The Rust `ApsRendererV1` struct becomes the single source of truth:
-
-- `build.rs` (or a checked-in generation step) exports JSON Schema from the
-  serde model; the TS types and validators in `aps/render.ts` and the inline
-  renderer-document validator are **generated** from it.
-- Validation becomes versioned-envelope tolerant: known fields validated
-  strictly, unknown fields ignored, `version` gates behavior (C4).
-- A conformance test round-trips a Rust-serialized descriptor through the TS
-  validator and the renderer-document validator in CI.
-
-### 6.5 Renderer endpoint availability
-
-- Register the `/integrations/aps/renderer` route whenever the server can emit
-  renderer bids (auction-level concern), not only when the APS integration is
-  enabled on the serving origin (C2).
-- The renderer iframe failure path (10 s timeout, load error) emits
-  `render_fail{renderer_endpoint_404 | renderer_ready_timeout}` instead of
-  dying silently.
-- CSP audit (C6): extend `APS_RENDERER_CSP` with the minimum additional sources
-  observed in real Amazon creative traffic (candidates: `frame-src data: blob:`,
-  `worker-src blob:`), each addition justified in a comment and covered by the
-  browser spec.
-
-### 6.6 Bridge hardening
-
-- Delete the dead duplicate renderer branch (C5) and move its dedup +
-  debug-log into the live branch.
-- Renderer branches call the same `fireWinBillingBeacons` +
-  `recordGptBridgeRender` as the adm and cache branches (C7).
-- Blanket source validation at the top of the bridge listener: parse and
-  ownership-check before any branch logic; new branches inherit protection.
-- SafeFrame-aware attribution (C3): resolve the slot by the MessageChannel port
-  and the `hb_adid` token first (the token is already unique per slot), using
-  the DOM walk only as a fallback.
-
-### 6.7 Tests that pin the contract
-
-1. Browser spec for flow (a): real GPT + PUC handshake driven from
-   `window.tsjs.bids` with a renderer-only bid (the region the dead code hid).
-2. Mediator + APS orchestration test asserting `merge_highest_cpm` admits the
-   APS winner and `mediator_only` reports the drop.
-3. `build_bid_map` tests: renderer emission, token-form `hb_adid`, adm and
-   cache-coordinate suppression for renderer bids.
-4. Cross-schema conformance (6.4).
-5. Page-bids JSON carries `renderer`; SPA hook delivers it to the bridge.
+### 6.1 Mediation: opt-in merge, `mediator_only` stays the default
+
+The configured contract today is explicit — the mediator is the final
+decision-maker (`auction_config_types.rs:48`) — and changing that default
+silently would be an economic breaking change with a rollback hazard. So:
+
+- `[auction].winner_selection = "mediator_only"` (default, today's behavior,
+  now explicit) or `"merge_highest_cpm"` (opt-in). The field is omitted from
+  serialized blobs at its default (G5).
+- `merge_highest_cpm` semantics, defined up front: comparison in the auction's
+  decoded CPM currency; slot floors apply to both populations; a bid present
+  in both (a provider bid the mediator also returned) counts once, by
+  provenance `mediator`; deals outrank open bids regardless of CPM; ties break
+  to the mediator; a mediator timeout degrades to direct-provider selection
+  (today's short-circuit) and is reported as such.
+- **One candidate-selection helper serves both mediation lifecycles** — the
+  ordinary/page-bids path (`orchestrator.rs:412-431`) and the initial-SSAT
+  split dispatch/collect path (`orchestrator.rs:1320`) — with tests for each.
+- A **selection report** (`winner_source`, `mediator_superseded` counts) is
+  emitted separately from the delivery-conversion drop reasons, so "lost the
+  merge" is never conflated with "failed to serialize."
+
+### 6.2 Dimensions: exact membership stays; flexibility is operator-declared
+
+Revision 1's containment rule ("never larger on either axis") would still
+reject its own motivating example (a 300×600 answer on a 300×250/728×90 slot)
+while admitting pathological 1×1 sizes — withdrawn. Instead:
+
+- Exact size membership (`aps.rs:657-668`) remains the default; it is
+  consistent with discrete GAM slot formats.
+- An operator may declare flexibility per slot:
+  `accept_sizes = [[300, 600], …]` (an explicit allow-list of additional
+  creative sizes, with documentation that GAM line items must accept them) —
+  no inference, no aspect heuristics in v1. Admitted alternate sizes set
+  `hb_size` targeting (set and cleared with the other `hb_*` keys) and the
+  served size is reported in the selection report.
+
+### 6.3 Script creatives
+
+Keep the secure default (`allow_script_creatives = false`) but make the
+consequence loud (5.4) and document the enablement path for TAM-heavy
+publishers. The renderer sandbox already isolates script tag types; this is a
+policy toggle, not new machinery.
+
+### 6.4 Render identity
+
+Implemented exactly as G2: cache UUID untouched, render token only for
+renderer-only bids, one registry, token property tests
+(`^[a-z0-9]{12}$`, CSPRNG, collision retry, TTL, one-time consumption,
+cross-slot/auction uniqueness), and a non-APS cache-path regression test.
+
+### 6.5 Fallback rendering
+
+Implemented exactly as G4: opt-in
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`), driven by the render state
+machine, triggered only by an **empty** GAM render or a bridge-claim timeout
+with no fill evidence, cancelled by any bridge claim or nonempty render,
+invalidated by navigation/refresh/destruction, and reported with the G4 event
+taxonomy. The direct renderer is converted to an awaitable API first; the
+fallback lands only after that conversion.
+
+### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
+
+- Document the topology: within one deployment the renderer route and the APS
+  provider share the same config gate (`aps.rs:1224`, `:1244`), so "server
+  emits descriptors but lacks the route" is a **cross-deployment or stale-CDN
+  problem**, and a 401 most plausibly comes from broad `[[handlers]]` auth
+  patterns matching `/integrations/*` before route dispatch.
+- Therefore: validate at startup that no configured auth handler pattern
+  covers `/integrations/aps/renderer`; make the static renderer document
+  config-independent **iff** the deployment serves multiple origins from one
+  config (recorded as an open question with the operator); version the
+  renderer document and define its cache headers.
+- The client reports `renderer_no_ready` (5.1) — no status probe is added,
+  because a probe would violate the no-new-critical-path-request budget.
+- CSP audit (C6) unchanged from revision 1: extend `APS_RENDERER_CSP` only
+  with sources observed in real Amazon traffic, each justified in a comment
+  and covered by the browser spec.
+
+### 6.7 One descriptor schema — structural generation, semantic validators kept
+
+- The wire truth is the **tagged enum** `BidRenderer` (the `type: "aps"`
+  discriminator lives there, not on `ApsRendererV1` — `types.rs:188-211`), so
+  the generated schema is the full tagged envelope.
+- Generation lives in a **separate wire-schema crate** (or a host-side
+  xtask) — it cannot live in `trusted-server-js`'s build because core already
+  depends on that crate (`Cargo.toml:45`) and the reverse edge would be a
+  cycle. Generated TS artifacts are checked in; CI fails on staleness.
+- Generation covers **structure only** (fields, types, discriminator,
+  version). The semantic security checks stay hand-written on both sides:
+  URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length bounds, the exact one-bid
+  envelope projection, cross-field equality. **Unknown-field tolerance applies
+  only to the outer versioned descriptor; the decoded AAX envelope remains an
+  exact projection** so `adm`, notification URLs, or sibling fields can never
+  slip through unexamined.
+- A shared corpus — positive cases plus an adversarial set (extra fields,
+  wrong versions, oversized payloads, URL smuggling, non-canonical base64) —
+  runs through the Rust validator, the TS validator, and the inline renderer
+  document in CI.
+
+### 6.8 Bridge hardening
+
+- **Ownership proof stays source-first.** The bridge continues to resolve the
+  message source to a slot and only then compares that slot's expected id
+  (`gpt/index.ts:1599` order) — a MessageChannel port plus a token is not
+  ownership proof, because an inbound port has no pre-established slot
+  identity and the token is visible in `window.tsjs.bids`. For SafeFrame,
+  source resolution is extended to walk nested browsing contexts via
+  `window.frames` containment checks rather than DOM `querySelectorAll` only;
+  where the source is unresolvable the bridge refuses (with
+  `bridge_id_mismatch`) instead of trusting the token.
+- Adversarial tests are part of the contract: wrong-slot tokens, nested
+  foreign frames, replayed and duplicated messages, stolen tokens, and
+  previous-navigation tokens — not only the positive SafeFrame case.
+- Blanket top-of-listener hygiene: parse and ownership-check before any
+  branch logic; new branches inherit protection.
+- Delete the dead duplicate renderer branch (C5); move its dedup and debug log
+  into the live branch.
+- Renderer branches emit the same trace records as the adm and cache branches,
+  under G4's event taxonomy and billing rules (C7).

 ### 7.3 Slot registry service
 
 One registry owns all slot knowledge: publisher-defined vs TS-defined,
 adoption, handoff claims, responsive element resolution, refresh generation,
 targeting-key history — keyed by `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` plus a
-div-id index. Expando properties on live GPT objects are eliminated. The GPT
-integration feeds events in and executes registry decisions; the prebid refresh
-handler consumes the same registry instead of re-deriving slot resolution.
-
-### 7.4 Global namespace policy: everything under `window.tsjs`
-
-Today the library sprawls across the window: ten-plus `window.__tsjs_*` /
-`window.__ts*` flags, `globalThis.tscreative` / `tsCreativeConfig`, a
-symbol-keyed dispatcher, and expando properties stamped onto foreign objects
-(`__tsPushed` on GPT's command queue, `__tsSlotHandoffPatched` on wrapped
-functions, `__tsRenderGeneration` / `__tsRenderBid` on live GPT slot objects,
-sentinels on `pbjs`). The policy going forward:
-
-- **One owned global: `window.tsjs`**, split internally into `tsjs` (public,
-  versioned API) and `tsjs._internal` (coordination state, explicitly not a
-  contract). Server-injected boot flags (`__tsjs_gpt_enabled`,
-  `__tsjs_slim_prebid_url`, bundle manifests) become fields the boot script
-  sets via the same command-queue pattern (`window.tsjs = window.tsjs ||
-{cmd: []}`), so early inline scripts and the bundle share one namespace.
-- **No expandos on objects we do not own.** Per-slot state
-  (`__tsRenderGeneration`, `__tsRenderBid`) moves into the slot registry's
-  `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>`; wrap-idempotence sentinels on foreign
-  functions are replaced by a kernel-held `WeakSet` of wrapped targets.
-- **Immediate cleanup, independent of the refactor:** `__tsRenderGeneration`
-  and `__tsRenderBid` are dead writes on this baseline — written at
-  `gpt/index.ts:1086-1091`, read by nothing (their consumer was lost in the
-  #922 merge). Delete the writes now; when Phase 2 restores attribution, the
-  captured bid/generation lives in `SlotRecord`.
-- Third-party globals (`googletag`, `pbjs`, CMP APIs) are read only through
-  adapters (7.2); integration-owned config globals (`didomiConfig`,
-  `permutive.config`) are written only inside that integration's adapter
-  boundary.

+### 7.4 Global namespace policy — with a compatibility window
+
+One owned global, `window.tsjs`, public API versioned, coordination state
+under `tsjs._internal` (G3). But the migration must not break published
+contracts:
+
+- **Inventory first:** every current global is classified public
+  (`globalThis.tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig` — documented, settable
+  pre-load) or private (`__tsjs_*` flags, expandos, sentinels).
+- **Public globals get a bounded dual-read/write window:** old and new names
+  both work for a stated deprecation period, with pre-init compatibility tests
+  (config set before the bundle loads must keep working); removal is its own
+  later, announced change.
+- Private globals migrate immediately: per-slot expandos
+  (`__tsRenderGeneration`, `__tsRenderBid` — dead writes today, delete now)
+  into `SlotRecord`; function-object sentinels into a kernel-held `WeakSet`;
+  boot flags into the `window.tsjs = window.tsjs || {cmd: []}` pattern.
 
 ### 7.5 Messaging module
 
 All `postMessage` traffic goes through one module: versioned envelopes, message
 name constants (today `'Prebid Request'` appears as a bare literal at six
-sites, and the APS handshake exists in three hand-synced copies), source and —
-where origins are non-opaque — origin validation, and one audit point.

-### 7.6 Lifecycle discipline

-  boot script calls `tsjs.install(['gpt', 'prebid', …])`; modules stop
-  self-executing at module bottom. This kills the double-injection class
-  (today: `beacon_guard` double-wraps `window.fetch` unrecoverably, a second
-  `creative` copy silently disarms `setConfig`, `didomi` can throw during
-  module evaluation and halt the concatenated bundle).
-- One shared window-level install sentinel helper (the pattern
-  `gpt_diagnostics` already got right), applied to every integration.
-- A `PageSession` object owns all per-page mutable state; SPA navigation
-  disposes and recreates it (fixing the leaked observers, listeners, and
-  unbounded maps the audit enumerated).

-  context, or emits a disposition reason. The auction fetch gets a timeout +
+sites, and the APS handshake exists in three hand-synced copies), source
+validation per 6.8, and one audit point.
+
+### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle
+
+`install()` replaces import-time side effects, with the semantics the review
+demanded:
+
+- `tsjs.definePlugin(id, version, install, dispose)` registers; the kernel
+  resolves install requests against registrations, so **a deferred bundle that
+  registers after `tsjs.install([...])` was requested is installed on
+  arrival** (pending-install queue), bounded by a missing-module timeout that
+  emits `bundle_partial`.
+- Per-plugin exception isolation: a plugin that throws during install is
+  quarantined and reported; it cannot halt the bundle (today `didomi` can
+  throw during module evaluation and stop everything after it).
+- Duplicate registration of the same `(id, version)` is a no-op; a different
+  version for a registered id follows a declared policy (first-wins + loud
+  telemetry).
+- A `PageSession` object owns an **enumerable** set of listeners, timers,
+  observers, and slot records — registered at creation, disposed on
+  navigation. A `WeakMap` alone cannot dispose anything; the owned-set is the
+  disposal inventory.
+- Error policy: no empty `catch` — every catch handles, logs with context, or
+  emits a disposition reason. The auction fetch gets a timeout +
   `AbortController`, and `requestAds` surfaces failure to its caller.
-- **Console logging is retained, not replaced.** The disposition beacon is
-  additive: every condition that surfaces an issue keeps (or gains) a
-  `log.warn` with enough context to debug from an open DevTools console,
-  because the console is the tool available on a publisher's page when no
-  server access exists. Concretely: existing warnings survive the refactor
-  verbatim or strengthened; failure paths currently logged at `debug` — which
-  is invisible at the default `warn` level (for example the creative
-  `dynamic_src_guard` and click-guard rejection paths) — are promoted to
-  `warn` when they indicate a delivery or security-relevant failure; and every
-  new `render_fail` / `absent`-dependency disposition emits a paired `warn`
-  carrying the same reason code, so console and beacon tell one story.

 ### 7.10 Performance
 
-Resilience must not cost speed; several parts of this design make the library
-faster, and the rest are held to explicit budgets:
-
-**Where the design is a speedup:**
-
-- **Smaller synchronous bundle.** Consolidating `gpt/script_guard.ts` (634
-  lines) onto the shared factory, un-inlining `aps/render.ts` from three
-  bundles into one, deleting the dead bridge branch and dead expando writes,
-  and splitting the trace overlay UI out of `core` all shrink the head-blocking
-  `tsjs-unified.js`. Target: measurably smaller than today's bundle, tracked in
-  CI (size report per PR).
-- **Fewer repeated DOM walks.** Today slot resolution
-  (`findSlotElementByDivId`'s five-step ladder, iframe walks in the bridge,
-  prebid's independent re-derivation) runs per feature per pass. The slot
-  registry resolves once per slot per navigation and everyone reads the record.
-- **Bounded waits instead of blind ones.** The 10 s silent renderer timeout and
-  the "queued forever on a GPT that never loads" cases become short, telemetered
-  timeouts with fallbacks — failures surface in hundreds of milliseconds, and
-  the render-source chain moves to the next source instead of waiting.
-
-**Where the design must not regress, and how that is enforced:**
-
-- **Ad request timing is untouched.** The critical path (bids script →
-  targeting → display/refresh) gains no network calls and no awaits; adapter
-  indirection is one property read and a queue check.
-- **Telemetry is off the critical path by construction.** `sendBeacon` /
-  keepalive fetch, batched, flushed on `visibilitychange` — never awaited by
-  render code, capped in size and event count.
-- **No new long tasks.** The kernel boots synchronously in microseconds
-  (queue + registry creation); integration `install()` bodies do what their
-  import-time footers do today, just at a controlled moment.
-- **Budgets in CI:** bundle byte size per module, and a browser-spec assertion
-  that time-from-bids-script-to-first-`display()` on the reference page does
-  not regress against the recorded baseline.
+Client-side, the design is a net speedup with enforced budgets:
+
+- **Smaller synchronous bundle:** script-guard consolidation, single APS
+  module (via the ABI), dead-code deletion, trace-overlay extraction.
+- **Fewer repeated DOM walks:** slot resolution once per navigation in the
+  registry.
+- **Bounded waits instead of blind ones:** the 10 s silent renderer timeout
+  and forever-queued GPT cases become short, telemetered timeouts.
+- **Budgets in CI, precisely specified:** per-bundle byte sizes measured raw,
+  gzip, and Brotli for an exact named module set, compared against a
+  checked-in baseline artifact with a stated tolerance; the browser-spec
+  timing assertion (bids-script-to-first-`display()`) runs N times and gates
+  on a percentile, not a single sample.
+
+Server-side (new in this revision): each injected page currently concatenates
+and hashes the full immediate bundle, and the asset request concatenates it
+again (`bundle.rs:51`). Precompute bundle bytes + hash per registry module set
+(they change only at deploy/config time), and benchmark server CPU/heap before
+and after.
 
 ### 7.11 Toolchain and dependency currency
 
-The refactor starts from a current toolchain rather than dragging old versions
-through it:
-
-- **TypeScript to latest stable.** The library pins `typescript ^5.5.4` while
-  the rest of the stack (vite 7, vitest 4, typescript-eslint 8) is current;
-  upgrade TS first and adopt the newer strictness the refactor wants anyway
-  (`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
-  `verbatimModuleSyntax`) — these directly serve the typing goals in 7.9
-  (killing `as unknown as` escapes and the wrong `global.d.ts` declaration).
-- **Dev toolchain to latest stable:** eslint (+ plugins), prettier, jsdom,
-  `@playwright/test` in the browser-test package, and `@types/node` aligned to
-  the pinned Node in `.tool-versions`. Each bump lands as its own mechanical PR
-  gated by the full CI matrix, with changelog review — this library
-  monkeypatches globals (`fetch`, `sendBeacon`, DOM prototypes), so jsdom and
-  Playwright behavior changes are real risks, not formalities.
-- **`prebid.js` is deliberately excluded from casual bumps.** The runtime
-  Prebid is the external R2 bundle, version-locked by manifest hash and SRI;
-  the npm `prebid.js` dependency exists for tests and type
-  references. Upgrading Prebid is its own coordinated deploy (bundle + config
-  sha + server), per the decoupled-shim process — the spec only requires that
-  the npm pin and the deployed bundle version stay documented together so
-  tests exercise the version production runs.
-- **Standing policy:** dependencies are reviewed on a monthly cadence and
-  before each phase of this migration begins; a phase never starts on a
-  toolchain more than one minor behind latest stable. Version floors live in
-  `package.json` (exact or caret pins as today) and CI runs on the pinned
-  Node/npm from `.tool-versions`.
-
-## 8. Migration plan (phased, each phase independently shippable)
-
-- **Phase 0 — Observability and toolchain.** Beacon + ingest route + server
-  drop-reason surfacing + reason codes on today's silent returns. Toolchain
-  currency (7.11): TypeScript and dev-dependency upgrades land here, before
-  any structural change, so every later phase type-checks against the compiler
-  it will ship with. No runtime behavior change.
-- **Phase 1 — APS correctness.** Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.6 (admission,
-  token, endpoint, bridge). Verified by Phase 0 data and the new tests. This
-  phase alone should make APS render wherever configuration permits.
-- **Phase 2 — GPT correctness.** Restore #922 attribution/orphan recovery
-  (with #997), correlator, SRA guard. Render-source chain + opt-in direct
-  fallback (6.3).
-- **Phase 3 — Structure.** Layering + boundary lint, `install()` lifecycle,
-  adapters, slot registry, messaging module, schema generation (6.4).
-- **Phase 4 — Decomposition.** File splits, script-guard consolidation,
-  bootstrap shrink. Pure moves under the existing vitest + browser specs,
-  landed one module per PR.
-
-Each phase gates on: all existing CI (Rust + JS + browser specs) green, plus
-its own new tests; no phase depends on a later one.

-## 9. Alternatives considered
-
-1. **Keep patching APS point-failures without telemetry.** Rejected: three
-   consecutive correct fixes have not produced ads; without disposition data
-   the next fix is another guess.
-2. **Direct-render APS always (skip GAM/PUC).** Simplest render path, but
-   changes GAM reporting/pacing semantics unilaterally; kept as the opt-in
-   fallback (6.3) instead.
-3. **Full library rewrite in one branch.** Rejected: the browser-spec safety
-   net is thin in exactly the areas being changed; phased extraction under
-   tests is slower but survivable.
-4. **Drop the ES5 bootstrap entirely (bundle-only).** Cleanest, but loses the
-   pinned "ads still render if the bundle fails" guarantee; the
-   generated-fallback approach (7.6) keeps that guarantee without the dual
-   maintenance.
+## 8. Migration plan
+
+Reordered so every phase's prerequisites precede it; each phase ships behind a
+feature flag with canary thresholds and rollback criteria.
+
+- **Phase 0 — Contracts and toolchain.** Settle G1–G5 in code-adjacent docs;
+  toolchain upgrades (7.11); the trace envelope + beacon + four-adapter ingest
+  (accept-count-drop outside Fastly) behind a flag; server drop-reason
+  surfacing (5.4); reason codes on today's silent returns; delete the dead
+  expando writes. No runtime behavior change for pages with the flag off.
+- **Phase 1 — Runtime ABI + APS admission/identity.** G3 kernel registry in
+  `tsjs-core` (context-provider fix is the proof); wire-schema crate + shared
+  corpus (6.7); mediation selection helper + opt-in merge (6.1); render token
+  for renderer-only bids (6.4); renderer-endpoint startup validation (6.6);
+  bridge hardening minus fallback (6.8). APS renders after this phase wherever
+  GAM line items and configuration permit — the no-GAM fallback is explicitly
+  Phase 2.
+- **Phase 2 — Render state machine + GPT correctness.** Minimal `SlotRecord`
+  core (just enough for the state machine keys; full registry lands in
+  Phase 3); awaitable renderer conversion; the exactly-once fallback (6.5,
+  G4); restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery; correlator and SRA
+  fixes (7.8).
+- **Phase 3 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint, plugin lifecycle +
+  `PageSession` (7.6), adapters (7.2), full slot registry (7.3), messaging
+  module (7.5), namespace migration with its compatibility window (7.4),
+  asset content-addressing fix + server bundle precompute (G5, 7.10).
+- **Phase 4 — Decomposition.** File splits (7.9), script-guard consolidation,
+  bootstrap shrink behind its own flag with replay-timing specs (7.7), and
+  the end of the public-global compatibility window.

-## 11. Success criteria
+1. **Keep patching APS point-failures without telemetry.** Rejected: three
+   consecutive correct fixes have not produced ads; without disposition data
+   the next fix is another guess.
+2. **Direct-render APS always (skip GAM/PUC).** Simplest render path, but
+   changes GAM reporting/pacing semantics unilaterally; kept as the opt-in,
+   state-machine-guarded fallback instead.
+3. **Single module graph / shared chunks instead of the registration ABI.**
+   Cleaner long-term, but changes the delivery pipeline (chunk loading) now;
+   recorded as the successor option behind the same ABI surface.
+4. **Full library rewrite in one branch.** Rejected: the browser-spec safety
+   net is thin in exactly the areas being changed.
+5. **Drop the ES5 bootstrap entirely.** Loses the pinned "ads render if the
+   bundle fails" guarantee; the generated-fallback approach keeps it without
+   dual maintenance.
+
+## 11. Risks
+
+- **Merge strategy misconfiguration** changes auction economics; mitigated by
+  keeping `mediator_only` the default, the selection report, and omitted
+  serialization at defaults.
+- **Beacon abuse/volume:** bounded by pre-parse caps, origin checks, rate

Subject: [PATCH 206/494] Revise design spec for the second review round

Settles the correlation gap by minting the trace server-side for the
initial navigation and echoing client-minted traces through the
page-bids request, adds the per-attempt acknowledgement-nonce protocol
so render_accepted is an authenticated kernel-observed event, renames
observations to what the browser can actually see and terminates APS
at render_accepted, splits nurl and burl into independent idempotent
transitions with a declared billing policy, restricts fallback to an
attributed terminal empty GPT event via a per-slot request-cycle
protocol, moves the content hash into the asset pathname with retained
artifacts and 410-on-unknown, reorders the migration so asset identity
and the kernel ABI precede the beacon, drops the deal-priority rule
the bid model cannot express, replaces accept_sizes with request-what-
you-accept, minimizes the beacon payload with id kinds and a signed
diagnostic capability, makes the renderer document route unconditional
and versioned with a two-stage ack, bounds SafeFrame traversal to a
parent-chain walk, fixes the tsjs.que and TypeScript-5.9 facts, and
names the concrete numbers the review asked for.

-## 4. Design gates — the five contracts settled before implementation
-
-The design review identified five architectural contracts every later section
-depends on. This revision settles them; changing any of these later reopens the
-review.
+## 4. Design gates — the five contracts
 
-### G1 — Trace identity and event envelope
+### G1 — Trace identity and correlation
 
 **The client-visible auction id must never be ingested.** It is EC-derived by
-construction (`publisher.rs:3237`: `ts-{ec_id}` when an EC exists), and server
-telemetry already uses a deliberately unrelated fresh UUID
-(`telemetry.rs:94-97`), so a join on it is both a privacy violation and
-impossible.
-
-Contract:
-
-- A **`trace_id`** is minted client-side per navigation: 128-bit CSPRNG
-  (`crypto.getRandomValues`), hex-encoded, held in `PageSession`, never
-  persisted, never derived from any identity.
-- Every event carries the envelope `{trace_id, nav_gen, render_gen, seq}`.
-  `seq` is a per-trace monotonic counter (ordering + deduplication);
-  `nav_gen`/`render_gen` scope events to a navigation and a refresh cycle, so a
-  batch that spans SPA navigations remains attributable per event, not per
-  batch.
-- The **server** stamps the same `trace_id` into its own telemetry rows by
-  reading it from the beacon, never the reverse: server auction rows keep their
-  independent telemetry UUID, and correlation happens only where the client
-  reported a `trace_id` alongside the events it observed. Failures with no
-  winning bid therefore still have a trace: the trace is client-born, not
-  auction-born.
-- **Sampling is sticky per trace** (decided once at trace mint, recorded in the
-  envelope), never per event — a sampled trace is complete or absent.
+construction (`publisher.rs:3237`: `ts-{ec_id}` when an EC exists). Server
+telemetry uses an independent fresh UUID (`telemetry.rs:94-97`) — and, decisive
+for the design: **initial-HTML auction telemetry is emitted before page
+JavaScript exists** (`telemetry.rs:148`, `publisher.rs:2452`), so a
+client-minted trace can never retroactively join it.
+
+Contract — correlation is minted by whoever acts first:
+
+- **Initial navigation (`nav_gen = 0`):** the **server** mints a
+  `trace_id` — 128-bit CSPRNG, hex (`^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), derived from nothing —
+  per HTML response, writes it into that response's auction telemetry rows at
+  emit time, and injects it into the page as a `tsjs` boot field alongside the
+  sampling decision. The client's `NavigationSession` adopts it. It is a new
+  value, never `AuctionRequest.id`.
+- **SPA navigations (`nav_gen > 0`):** the **client** mints the `trace_id` for
+  the navigation and sends it in the `/_ts/page-bids` request body; the server
+  records it contemporaneously in that auction's telemetry rows. No
+  retroactive joining anywhere.
+- **Envelope:** every event carries
+  `{trace_id, sampled, nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq}` — per event, not per batch,
+  so a transport batch may span navigations without ambiguity. `seq` is a
+  per-trace monotonic counter for ordering and deduplication.
+- **Sampling** is decided once per trace (server-decided for `nav_gen 0`,
+  client-decided from the injected rate for later navigations) and recorded in
+  the envelope; a sampled trace is complete or absent.
 
 ### G2 — Render identity: `hb_adid`, the APS token, and the PBS Cache UUID
 
-**The PBS Cache contract stays untouched.** Today `hb_adid` deliberately
-prefers the Prebid Cache UUID (`publisher.rs:3355`), and both the emitted cache
-coordinates and the bridge's cache fetch assume `?uuid=<hb_adid>`
-(`publisher.rs:3450`, `gpt/index.ts:1700`) — that is the Prebid Universal
-Creative's documented contract. Revision 1's "token for every SSAT bid" would
-have broken every cache-backed render and is withdrawn.

 Contract:

-- Bids with markup and no cache id: `hb_adid` = existing fallback chain
-  (`ad_id`, then bid id), exactly as today.

 ### G3 — Runtime ABI: how code shares state under the IIFE build
 
 Every entry point is built as a self-contained IIFE with dynamic imports
 inlined (`build-all.mjs:46`), and the server concatenates already-closed IIFEs
-(`bundle.rs:23`). **A module `import` therefore never shares state across
-bundles** — an `aps/index.ts` alone would just mint another private copy. This
-is already a live defect beyond APS: `core/context.ts:11` holds a private
-context-provider `Map` while `permutive/index.ts:102` registers into its own
-independently bundled copy.
+(`bundle.rs:23`) — a module `import` never shares state across bundles. Live
+proof: `core/context.ts:11` holds a private context-provider `Map` while
+`permutive/index.ts:102` registers into its own copy.
 
 Contract — **a versioned registration ABI on `window.tsjs._internal`**:
 
 - The kernel ships **only** in `tsjs-core` (always first in the concatenated
   unified bundle) and publishes `tsjs._internal = { abi: 1, registry }` exactly
   once, guarded by a window-level sentinel.
-- All **stateful** services (slot registry, render state machine, APS renderer
-  registry, context providers, event bus, beacon queue) exist once, owned by
-  the kernel, and are reached **only** through
-  `tsjs._internal.registry.get(name, minVersion)` at call time — never through
-  imported module state. Pure stateless helpers may still be imported and
-  inlined freely.
-- Deferred bundles (prebid) and later scripts interact through the same ABI;
-  `abi` majors are checked at lookup and a mismatch is a logged, telemetered
-  refusal, not a silent no-op.
-- The alternative (single module graph / shared chunks emitted by the build and
-  loaded as real modules) is recorded as the long-term option; the ABI is
-  chosen now because it works under today's concatenation and deferred
-  loading without changing the delivery pipeline.
-- This gate precedes and unblocks: the event bus, the slot registry, the
-  install registry, `PageSession`, the messaging service, and fixes the
-  context-provider split as its first proof.
-
-### G4 — Exactly-once render state machine, and honest success semantics
-
-**Absence of a bridge request is not proof GAM failed** — GAM may legitimately
-serve a different, higher-priority creative without ever invoking the TS
-bridge. And **`renderer-ready` means Amazon's runner script loaded, not that an
-ad painted** (`aps.rs:105`); the current direct renderer returns `true`
-immediately while the real outcome settles asynchronously for up to ten
-seconds (`render.ts:318`).
-
-Contract:
-
-- One render state machine per placement instance, keyed by
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, render_token)`, with exactly-once
-  terminal transition. States:
-  `targeting_set → bridge_claimed | gam_filled_other | fallback_running →
-render_accepted → render_confirmed | render_failed(reason)`.
-- **The fallback never replaces a nonempty GAM render.** Any bridge claim or
-  nonempty `slotRenderEnded` cancels a pending fallback; an **empty**
-  `slotRenderEnded` may trigger it; navigation, refresh, handoff, and slot
-  destruction invalidate stale attempts.
-- The renderer API becomes awaitable with cancellation and an explicit
-  terminal reason; no fire-and-forget `true`.
-- Event taxonomy replaces the single `render_ok`:
-  - `bridge_response_sent` — the bridge handed a payload to the PUC;
-  - `render_accepted` — the renderer document loaded Amazon's runner
-    (today's "ready");
-  - `render_confirmed` — observed evidence of a paint (nonempty
-    `slotRenderEnded` for GAM fills; for the sandboxed renderer, iframe
-    load + non-collapsed geometry where observable).
-- **Billing/win callbacks fire no earlier than `render_accepted`, and
-  `render_confirmed` is the only state reported as success.** Where APS
-  provides no paint acknowledgement, the design says so plainly: telemetry can
-  distinguish "runner loaded" from "nothing loaded," but **cannot distinguish
-  a painted ad from a blank one** inside the opaque frame — rows terminate at
-  `render_accepted` and are labeled as such, not upgraded.
+- **Construction ownership:** the kernel constructs and registers the core
+  service instances (event bus, beacon queue, session objects, slot registry,
+  render state machine) during its own boot; integrations construct only
+  integration-scoped services and register them during their `install()`.
+- All **stateful** services are reached only through
+  `tsjs._internal.registry.get(name, minVersion)` at call time. Pure stateless
+  helpers may be imported and inlined freely.
+- `abi` majors are checked at lookup; a mismatch is a logged, telemetered
+  refusal, not a silent no-op. Mixed-version delivery (old deferred bundle,
+  new core) is a tested scenario, not an accident.
+- The single-module-graph build is recorded as the successor option behind the
+  same ABI surface.
+
+### G4 — Render lifecycle: cycles, acknowledgements, and honest states
+
+Four sub-contracts, each fixing a hole the reviews identified.
+
+**G4a — GPT request-cycle protocol.** `slotRenderEnded` identifies a slot, not
+a request, and the bridge currently reads live `window.tsjs.bids`
+(`gpt/index.ts:1606`) while the generation snapshots are dead writes
+(`gpt/index.ts:1085`). Contract: every TS-issued `display()`/`refresh()` opens
+a **cycle** `(slot, refresh_gen)` pushed onto a per-slot pending-cycle queue;
+`slotRequested` confirms it; GPT fires slot events in order per slot, so
+`slotRenderEnded` is attributed to the oldest confirmed pending cycle for the
+slot. Each bridge token and each render attempt binds to exactly one cycle. If
+attribution is ambiguous (overlapping cycles the queue cannot separate, or an
+event with no pending cycle), the state machine for that slot **fails closed**:
+no fallback, `render_fail{cycle_unattributable}`, console warning.
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement path.** Today the renderer document posts ready only
+to its immediate parent (`aps.rs:105`); in the PUC path that parent is the
+nested renderer frame, which resolves a local promise (`render.ts:423`) the
+top-level kernel cannot observe — and callbacks currently fire right after the
+bridge posts its response (`gpt/index.ts:1572`, `:1620`). Contract: the bridge
+response carries a **per-attempt CSPRNG acknowledgement nonce**; the dynamic
+renderer posts versioned `render_accepted` / `render_failed{reason}` messages
+**to the kernel** (top window), carrying the nonce; the kernel validates
+source ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`, and `refresh_gen` before any state
+transition or callback. This protocol is pinned by tests for all three flows:
+SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame.
+
+**G4c — Honest observation names.** The browser cannot see inside an opaque
+APS frame, and the iframe's geometry is assigned by our own renderer — it
+proves nothing about content. A nonempty `slotRenderEnded` proves GAM
+delivered a creative container, not that the nested runner painted. The state
+machine therefore records observations under accurate names —
+`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`,
+`runner_failed` — and **APS attempts terminate at `render_accepted`**
+(= authenticated `runner_loaded` ack) unless Amazon provides a real completion
+acknowledgement. `render_confirmed` exists only for paths with same-origin
+observable content (inline adm frames TS itself writes); it is never derived
+from geometry or from PUC container delivery. Tests: accepted-but-blank, and

+**G4d — `nurl`/`burl` are separate business events.** OpenRTB 2.6
+distinguishes them: `nurl` is the win notice (implies neither delivery nor
+billability); `burl` is the billable-event notice under exchange policy.
+Today both fire together (`gpt/index.ts:459`). Contract — independent,
+idempotent transitions:
+
+1. winner selection → fire `nurl`;
+2. `render_accepted` (authenticated) → fire `burl` — this is the **declared
+   commercial policy** for APS given no paint acknowledgement exists, recorded
+   here explicitly rather than implied;
+3. terminal failure after acceptance → no un-firing; the row is labeled
+   `billed_then_failed` so the policy's cost is measurable.
+
+**G4e — Fallback trigger.** GPT offers no cancellation (section 3.7), so a
+timeout can race a late fill that arrives after a fallback has rendered and
+billed. Contract: the opt-in direct fallback
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`) renders **only after an
+explicit terminal empty event for the bound cycle** (`gam_empty` from G4a
+attribution). A timeout emits diagnostics (`render_fail{bridge_claim_timeout}`)
+and **never renders**. For publisher-owned (adopted) slots, fallback is
+disabled entirely. TS-owned-slot timeout rendering is admitted only as a
+possible future extension that must first destroy the slot to retire the
+request, and is out of scope here.
 
 ### G5 — Deployment contracts
 
 - **Config rollback:** every new auction/config field is default-valued and
-  **omitted from serialization at its default** (`AuctionConfig` denies
-  unknown fields, `auction_config_types.rs:7`), so blobs written by a new
-  binary remain readable by the previous one unless an operator opts in.
-- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in **all four adapters**
-  (Fastly, Axum, Cloudflare, Spin) as an early, EC-free, filter-free route.
-  Only Fastly has a real telemetry sink today; the no-sink behavior elsewhere
-  is "accept, count, drop" — defined, not accidental.
-- **Storage:** a new dedicated datasource for client events (the existing
-  auction datasource cannot hold the shape without migration); schema,
-  retention, and sampling documented with the datasource definition.
-- **Asset content-addressing is fixed, not assumed.** Script URLs embed a
-  content hash but the handler ignores the query and serves current registry
-  bytes from the path alone (`tsjs.rs:3`, `publisher.rs:294`) — during a
-  rolling deploy an old `?v=A` request can receive bytes `B` and cache them
-  under `A`. The handler must validate the requested hash and serve the
-  matching immutable artifact (or answer with the current hash's redirect);
-  rolling-deploy cache tests pin this.
-- **Phase ordering** follows section 9; every phase ships behind a feature
-  flag with canary thresholds and rollback criteria.

+- **Asset identity is path-based and retained.** A query hash the handler
+  ignores (`tsjs.rs:3`, `publisher.rs:294`) is not content addressing, and
+  redirecting an old hash to current bytes just executes new code under old
+  HTML, bootstrap flags, and ABI expectations. Contract: the content hash
+  moves into the **pathname** (`/static/tsjs/<hash>/<name>.js`); the server
+  serves through a hash→bytes manifest that **retains prior artifacts** beyond
+  the maximum HTML cache lifetime plus the deferred-load window (retention
+  floor: 7 days); `Cache-Control: immutable` only on exact hash matches;
+  unknown hashes answer `410 Gone` with `no-store` — never a redirect to
+  different bytes. Precomputed concatenations are keyed by the **ordered
+  module-ID vector** (order affects side effects), not the set.
+- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in all four adapters (Fastly,
+  Axum, Cloudflare, Spin) as an early, EC-free, filter-free route. Only Fastly
+  has a real sink today; the others accept-count-drop by explicit contract.
+- **Storage:** a new dedicated datasource named `ts_client_events`; retention

-- **Transport:** `fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` is the
-  primary transport, because `sendBeacon` always sends credentials and its
-  `true` return only means "queued," not "received." `sendBeacon` remains the
-  documented last-resort fallback on `pagehide` where keepalive is
-  unavailable, and the ingest handler ignores credentials in all cases.
-- **Batching:** flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s; each
-  event self-describes its navigation via the envelope, so batches spanning
-  SPA navigations stay attributable.
-- **Reasons are a closed enum**, structurally serialized (never interpolated
-  into log lines): `renderer_no_ready`, `descriptor_invalid`,
-  `bridge_id_mismatch`, `gam_empty`, `gam_filled_other`, `no_render_source`,
-  `slot_unresolved`, `gpt_absent`, `pbjs_absent`, `bundle_partial`,
-  `fallback_cancelled`, `timeout`. `renderer_no_ready` (not
-  `renderer_endpoint_404`) is deliberate: the opaque iframe cannot read an
-  HTTP status, so the observable fact is "no ready message before timeout."
-
-### 5.2 Ingest contract
-
-- Registered in all four adapters before auth/EC/filters (G5); same-origin
-  enforced via `Origin`/`Sec-Fetch-Site` checks; hard caps on body bytes,
-  event count, and string lengths **enforced before parsing or logging**;
-  malformed rows dropped and counted; per-IP rate limiting; responds
-  `204 Cache-Control: no-store`; touches no KV and mints no identity.
-- Server logs a bounded, structured summary per batch; the Fastly sink writes
-  to the new datasource (G5); other adapters count-and-drop until a sink
-  exists.
-
-### 5.3 Two modes, honestly separated
-
-A sampled, best-effort beacon **cannot** guarantee a complete diagnosis from
-one page load — so the design stops claiming it:
-
-- **Production telemetry:** sticky-sampled traces, SLO "a delivery failure
-  mode occurring on ≥ N% of impressions is visible in the datasource within
-  one hour."
-- **Diagnostic mode:** explicitly enabled (tester cookie / query flag),
-  unsampled, full event stream plus console mirroring — this is the "one page
-  load tells you which failure fired" tool.
-
-### 5.4 Server-side drop-reason surfacing
-
-- Emit a bounded structured summary **whenever any bid is dropped** (not only
-  when zero survive): per-slot reason counts, capped.
-- Add `drop_reasons` to auction telemetry rows.
-- The initial-HTML `ts-debug` comment gains the drop summary; `/_ts/page-bids`
-  returns JSON and **cannot carry an HTML comment**, so it gains a gated
-  structured `debug` field instead, enabled by the same tester gate.
-- Startup validation warnings: APS enabled while `allow_script_creatives =
-false` ("script-type APS demand will be dropped"); any direct provider
-  configured alongside a mediator without the merge strategy of 6.1 ("provider
-  bids cannot win as configured").

+`fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` primary; `sendBeacon` as
+the documented last-resort `pagehide` fallback (credentialed by platform
+design, and its `true` means queued, not received — the handler ignores
+credentials either way). Flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s.
+
+### 5.3 Ingest wire contract (numeric, complete)
+
+- Route: `POST /_ts/client-events`, registered in all four adapters before
+  auth/EC/filters. Content type: `application/json` only (no
+  `Content-Encoding`; compressed bodies rejected). Responds
+  `204 Cache-Control: no-store`.
+- Limits enforced **before parse or log**: body ≤ **16 KiB**; ≤ **64** events
+  per batch; any string field ≤ **64** chars; `trace_id` must match
+  `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; `nav_gen`/`refresh_gen`/`seq` are integers in
+  `[0, 2³¹)`. Violation → `204` (accepted-and-dropped) + abuse counter; the
+  endpoint never echoes input.
+- Same-origin enforcement: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present;
+  otherwise `Origin` must match the serving host; **absent both → reject**
+  (drop-and-count). All strings are structurally serialized (never
+  interpolated into log lines).
+- Client IP for rate limiting is derived per adapter from its documented
+  trusted source (Fastly: the platform client IP; Axum: configured trusted
+  proxy header; Cloudflare/Spin: platform equivalents). Rate limiting uses the
+  platform limiter where one exists (Fastly); portable adapters ship a
+  best-effort in-memory limiter and the policy is **fail-open with an abuse
+  counter** (dropping telemetry must never block ad delivery).
+- **Diagnostic mode is a server-injected capability, not a query flag.** The
+  tester gate (cookie) is evaluated server-side at HTML render; the page
+  receives a short-lived signed capability token (HMAC over
+  `trace_id + expiry`, ≤ 15 minutes) which the client echoes in the batch.
+  The ingest handler verifies the signature — this works with
+  `credentials: "omit"` because the capability travels in the payload, and a
+  public query flag alone can never switch a session to unsampled.
+
+### 5.4 Two modes, honestly separated
+
+- **Production telemetry:** sticky-sampled (default 10%), SLO: **a delivery
+  failure mode affecting ≥ 1% of impressions is visible in `ts_client_events`

+- **Diagnostic mode:** capability-gated, unsampled, full event stream plus

+  reason counts, capped), not only when zero survive.

 ### 6.1 Mediation: opt-in merge, `mediator_only` stays the default
 
-The configured contract today is explicit — the mediator is the final
-decision-maker (`auction_config_types.rs:48`) — and changing that default
-silently would be an economic breaking change with a rollback hazard. So:
-
 - `[auction].winner_selection = "mediator_only"` (default, today's behavior,

-  serialized blobs at its default (G5).
-- `merge_highest_cpm` semantics, defined up front: comparison in the auction's
-  decoded CPM currency; slot floors apply to both populations; a bid present
-  in both (a provider bid the mediator also returned) counts once, by
-  provenance `mediator`; deals outrank open bids regardless of CPM; ties break
-  to the mediator; a mediator timeout degrades to direct-provider selection
-  (today's short-circuit) and is reported as such.
-- **One candidate-selection helper serves both mediation lifecycles** — the
-  ordinary/page-bids path (`orchestrator.rs:412-431`) and the initial-SSAT
-  split dispatch/collect path (`orchestrator.rs:1320`) — with tests for each.
-- A **selection report** (`winner_source`, `mediator_superseded` counts) is
-  emitted separately from the delivery-conversion drop reasons, so "lost the
-  merge" is never conflated with "failed to serialize."
-

-reject its own motivating example (a 300×600 answer on a 300×250/728×90 slot)
-while admitting pathological 1×1 sizes — withdrawn. Instead:
-
-- Exact size membership (`aps.rs:657-668`) remains the default; it is
-  consistent with discrete GAM slot formats.
-- An operator may declare flexibility per slot:
-  `accept_sizes = [[300, 600], …]` (an explicit allow-list of additional
-  creative sizes, with documentation that GAM line items must accept them) —
-  no inference, no aspect heuristics in v1. Admitted alternate sizes set
-  `hb_size` targeting (set and cleared with the other `hb_*` keys) and the
-  served size is reported in the selection report.
+  now explicit) or `"merge_highest_cpm"` (opt-in); omitted from serialized
+  blobs at the default (G5).
+- `merge_highest_cpm` semantics: comparison in decoded CPM; **currency
+  mismatch is a rejection** (the mismatched bid is dropped with a selection
+  reason; no conversion in v1); slot floors apply to both populations; ties
+  break to the mediator; a mediator timeout degrades to direct-provider
+  selection and is reported.
+- **Deduplication key:** the server constructs the mediator's input, so it
+  records provenance at forwarding time — `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)`
+  per candidate — and carries a provenance map keyed by the id it sent.
+  A mediator bid whose id maps back to a forwarded candidate counts once, as
+  provenance `mediator`. A mediator bid whose id was **transformed beyond the
+  map** is treated as distinct mediator demand (documented limitation).
+- **Deal priority is out of scope for v1.** The internal `Bid`
+  (`types.rs:231`) carries no deal identity; inventing a priority rule the
+  model cannot express would be fiction. Extending the bid model with
+  `deal_id`/deal type and a deal-first rule is recorded as follow-up work;
+  until then deals compete by CPM like everything else and the limitation is
+  documented in the config reference.
+- One candidate-selection helper serves **both** mediation lifecycles
+  (ordinary/page-bids, `orchestrator.rs:412-431`; initial-SSAT split
+  dispatch/collect, `orchestrator.rs:1320`), with tests for each.
+- A **selection report** (`winner_source`, `mediator_superseded`,
+  `currency_rejected`, dedup hits) is emitted separately from
+  delivery-conversion drop reasons.
+
+### 6.2 Dimensions: the contract is "request what you accept"
+
+Revision 2's operator `accept_sizes` allow-list is withdrawn on the review's
+sharper observation: if an alternate size is acceptable, it belongs in the
+slot's **requested formats** — APS should be asked for it. Accepting an
+unrequested response size would conceal an upstream protocol violation.
+
+- Exact size membership (`aps.rs:657-668`) remains the admission rule,
+  unchanged.
+- The fix is configuration plus visibility: the drop summary (5.5) names the
+  rejected size per slot (`invalid_dimensions{300x600}`), so an operator sees
+  exactly which format to add to the slot's `formats` if they want that
+  demand. Documentation gains a "sizing your slots for APS" section.
+- No `hb_size` key, no admission relaxation, no new config.

-with no fill evidence, cancelled by any bridge claim or nonempty render,

-### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
-
-- Document the topology: within one deployment the renderer route and the APS
-  provider share the same config gate (`aps.rs:1224`, `:1244`), so "server
-  emits descriptors but lacks the route" is a **cross-deployment or stale-CDN
-  problem**, and a 401 most plausibly comes from broad `[[handlers]]` auth
-  patterns matching `/integrations/*` before route dispatch.
-- Therefore: validate at startup that no configured auth handler pattern
-  covers `/integrations/aps/renderer`; make the static renderer document
-  config-independent **iff** the deployment serves multiple origins from one
-  config (recorded as an open question with the operator); version the
-  renderer document and define its cache headers.
-- The client reports `renderer_no_ready` (5.1) — no status probe is added,
-  because a probe would violate the no-new-critical-path-request budget.
-- CSP audit (C6) unchanged from revision 1: extend `APS_RENDERER_CSP` only
-  with sources observed in real Amazon traffic, each justified in a comment
-  and covered by the browser spec.
+Implemented exactly as G4e: renders only on an attributed terminal
+`gam_empty`; timeouts are diagnostics-only; disabled for adopted slots. The
+direct renderer is converted to an awaitable API with cancellation and a
+terminal reason first; the fallback lands only after that conversion.
+
+### 6.6 Renderer endpoint — unconditional, versioned, observable
+
+Topology is resolved now rather than left conditional:
+
+- **The static renderer document route registers unconditionally in every
+  adapter.** It contains no configuration, no secrets, and validates its input
+  client-side; serving it cannot leak anything, and conditional registration
+  is exactly what created the silent cross-deployment failure class. (The APS
+  _provider_ stays config-gated; only the static document is unconditional.)
+- The document is **versioned in its path**
+  (`/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`) and served `Cache-Control: no-store`;
+  descriptor compatibility across N/N−1 is guaranteed by the outer-tolerant
+  validation of 6.7. The client pins the version it targets.
+- Startup validation fails loudly if any configured auth handler pattern
+  covers `/integrations/aps/renderer`.
+- **Two-stage acknowledgement (with G4b):** the document first posts an
+  authenticated `document_loaded` (proving route + auth + CSP allowed the
+  document itself), then the separate runner-load result. This splits the old
+  blind timeout into `renderer_document_no_load` (route/auth/stale-CDN/network)
+  vs `runner_no_load` / `runner_failed` (Amazon script or CSP) — distinct
+  signals, as the success criteria require.
+- Server-side: route status/version counters (requests, unknown-version,
+  auth-blocked) join the telemetry rows.
+- **CSP changes ship report-only first** (`Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only`
+  canary with a bounded report endpoint), then enforce; each added source is
+  justified in a comment and covered by the browser spec. Tests cover broad
+  auth patterns, stale versions, and CSP failures on all adapters.
 
 ### 6.7 One descriptor schema — structural generation, semantic validators kept
 
-- The wire truth is the **tagged enum** `BidRenderer` (the `type: "aps"`
-  discriminator lives there, not on `ApsRendererV1` — `types.rs:188-211`), so
-  the generated schema is the full tagged envelope.
-- Generation lives in a **separate wire-schema crate** (or a host-side
-  xtask) — it cannot live in `trusted-server-js`'s build because core already
-  depends on that crate (`Cargo.toml:45`) and the reverse edge would be a
-  cycle. Generated TS artifacts are checked in; CI fails on staleness.
-- Generation covers **structure only** (fields, types, discriminator,
-  version). The semantic security checks stay hand-written on both sides:
-  URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length bounds, the exact one-bid
-  envelope projection, cross-field equality. **Unknown-field tolerance applies
-  only to the outer versioned descriptor; the decoded AAX envelope remains an
-  exact projection** so `adm`, notification URLs, or sibling fields can never
-  slip through unexamined.
-- A shared corpus — positive cases plus an adversarial set (extra fields,
-  wrong versions, oversized payloads, URL smuggling, non-canonical base64) —
-  runs through the Rust validator, the TS validator, and the inline renderer
-  document in CI.

 ### 6.8 Bridge hardening
 
-- **Ownership proof stays source-first.** The bridge continues to resolve the
-  message source to a slot and only then compares that slot's expected id
-  (`gpt/index.ts:1599` order) — a MessageChannel port plus a token is not
-  ownership proof, because an inbound port has no pre-established slot
-  identity and the token is visible in `window.tsjs.bids`. For SafeFrame,
-  source resolution is extended to walk nested browsing contexts via
-  `window.frames` containment checks rather than DOM `querySelectorAll` only;
-  where the source is unresolvable the bridge refuses (with
-  `bridge_id_mismatch`) instead of trusting the token.
-- Adversarial tests are part of the contract: wrong-slot tokens, nested
-  foreign frames, replayed and duplicated messages, stolen tokens, and
-  previous-navigation tokens — not only the positive SafeFrame case.
-- Blanket top-of-listener hygiene: parse and ownership-check before any
-  branch logic; new branches inherit protection.
-- Delete the dead duplicate renderer branch (C5); move its dedup and debug log
-  into the live branch.
-- Renderer branches emit the same trace records as the adm and cache branches,
-  under G4's event taxonomy and billing rules (C7).
+- **Ownership proof stays source-first**, and the SafeFrame extension is
+  bounded: the kernel maintains a map of known slot-root `WindowProxy` objects
+  (the iframes GPT created under each slot element); on a message, it walks
+  the **sender's own parent chain** (`event.source.parent`, …) up to depth
+  **5**, looking for a known root — it never enumerates or recursively scans
+  an attacker-controllable frame tree. Unresolvable source → refuse with
+  `bridge_id_mismatch`.

 ### 7.3 Slot registry service
 
-One registry owns all slot knowledge: publisher-defined vs TS-defined,
-adoption, handoff claims, responsive element resolution, refresh generation,
-targeting-key history — keyed by `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` plus a
-div-id index, owned by the kernel via the G3 ABI. Expando properties on live
-GPT objects are eliminated. The GPT integration feeds events in and executes
-registry decisions; the prebid refresh handler consumes the same registry.

 ### 7.4 Global namespace policy — with a compatibility window
 
-One owned global, `window.tsjs`, public API versioned, coordination state
-under `tsjs._internal` (G3). But the migration must not break published
-contracts:
-
-- **Inventory first:** every current global is classified public
-  (`globalThis.tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig` — documented, settable
-  pre-load) or private (`__tsjs_*` flags, expandos, sentinels).
-- **Public globals get a bounded dual-read/write window:** old and new names
-  both work for a stated deprecation period, with pre-init compatibility tests
-  (config set before the bundle loads must keep working); removal is its own
-  later, announced change.
-- Private globals migrate immediately: per-slot expandos
-  (`__tsRenderGeneration`, `__tsRenderBid` — dead writes today, delete now)
-  into `SlotRecord`; function-object sentinels into a kernel-held `WeakSet`;
-  boot flags into the `window.tsjs = window.tsjs || {cmd: []}` pattern.
+- One owned global, `window.tsjs`; public API versioned; coordination state
+  under `tsjs._internal` (G3). **The public queue keeps its existing name:
+  `window.tsjs.que`** (`types.ts:259`, drained at `core/index.ts:25`) —

+  violate this very section.
+- Inventory first: every current global classified public
+  (`globalThis.tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig`, `tsjs.que`) or private
+  (`__tsjs_*` flags, expandos, sentinels).
+- **Public globals: dual-read/write for a bounded window — two release
+  cycles, minimum 60 days — ending only after an adoption gate: beacon-observed
+  old-name usage below 0.1% of traces for 14 consecutive days.** Pre-init

+  working.
+- Private globals migrate immediately: dead expando writes deleted now; slot

+- `requestAds` keeps its void signature; failure surfacing arrives as a **new
+  versioned async API** (`tsjs.requestAdsAsync(...): Promise<RequestAdsResult>`)
+  rather than changing the existing contract.
 
 ### 7.5 Messaging module
 
-All `postMessage` traffic goes through one module: versioned envelopes, message
-name constants (today `'Prebid Request'` appears as a bare literal at six
-sites, and the APS handshake exists in three hand-synced copies), source
-validation per 6.8, and one audit point.
-
-### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle
-
-`install()` replaces import-time side effects, with the semantics the review
-demanded:
-
-- `tsjs.definePlugin(id, version, install, dispose)` registers; the kernel
-  resolves install requests against registrations, so **a deferred bundle that
-  registers after `tsjs.install([...])` was requested is installed on
-  arrival** (pending-install queue), bounded by a missing-module timeout that
-  emits `bundle_partial`.
+All `postMessage` traffic through one module: versioned envelopes, message
+name constants, the G4b acknowledgement nonces, source validation per 6.8, one
+audit point.
+
+### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle and session model
+
+- **Activation:** Rust owns integration selection today and continues to — the
+  server injects a **versioned install manifest** (enabled plugin ids +
+  expected versions, in injection order) into the pre-core `tsjs.que`. The
+  kernel executes the manifest on boot; nobody else calls install in
+  production (the API remains callable for tests).
+- `tsjs.definePlugin(id, version, install, dispose)`: synchronous `install`
+  by default; a plugin may return a promise, but anything `adInit` depends on
+  (gpt, prebid shim registration) must complete synchronously and is listed as
+  such in the manifest. Late registration after the manifest requested the id
+  installs on arrival (pending-install queue) bounded by a missing-module
+  timeout emitting `bundle_partial`. A stale async completion (arriving after
+  its `RuntimeSession` was disposed) is discarded. Duplicate `(id, version)`
+  is a no-op; a different version for a registered id: first-wins + loud
+  telemetry. Disposal runs in reverse install order.
+- **Session model, split as the review required:**
+  - `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime): bridge listener, history hook, pbjs
+    subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue.
+  - `NavigationSession` (per SPA navigation): `trace_id`, render attempts,
+    slot aliases, targeting history, navigation-scoped timers/observers.
+  - `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle): state machine instance, ack nonce.
+    Each owns an **enumerable** disposal inventory; navigation disposes
+    `NavigationSession` children only.
 - Per-plugin exception isolation: a plugin that throws during install is
-  quarantined and reported; it cannot halt the bundle (today `didomi` can
-  throw during module evaluation and stop everything after it).
-- Duplicate registration of the same `(id, version)` is a no-op; a different
-  version for a registered id follows a declared policy (first-wins + loud
-  telemetry).
-- A `PageSession` object owns an **enumerable** set of listeners, timers,
-  observers, and slot records — registered at creation, disposed on
-  navigation. A `WeakMap` alone cannot dispose anything; the owned-set is the
-  disposal inventory.
-- Error policy: no empty `catch` — every catch handles, logs with context, or
-  emits a disposition reason. The auction fetch gets a timeout +
-  `AbortController`, and `requestAds` surfaces failure to its caller.
-- **Console logging is retained, not replaced.** The beacon is additive: every
-  issue-surfacing condition keeps (or gains) a `log.warn` debuggable from an
-  open DevTools console. Existing warnings survive verbatim or strengthened;
-  failure paths currently at `debug` (invisible at the default `warn` level —
-  the creative `dynamic_src_guard` and click-guard rejection paths) are
-  promoted to `warn` when they indicate a delivery or security-relevant
-  failure; every `render_fail` / dependency-timeout disposition emits a paired
-  `warn` carrying the same reason code, so console and beacon tell one story.

 ### 7.7 The bootstrap problem
 
-`gpt_bootstrap.js` duplicates ~400 lines of the hardest logic (handoff,
-initial-load detection, hydration deferral) in hand-written ES5, always wins
-the sentinel race, and has one live divergence (its simpler `adInit` can run
-first and permanently suppress the bundle's `slotRenderEnded` listener).
-
-Target: shrink the inline bootstrap to a queue-and-flags stub (create
-`googletag.cmd` interception points, record early publisher calls, expose the
-enable flag), with the bundle replaying recorded calls on install. This is
-**not a pure move** — replay changes observable ordering — so it ships behind
-its own flag with the browser specs extended to cover replay timing, and the
-no-bundle fallback ("ads still render if the bundle fails," pinned by
-`gpt.rs:1174-1179`) is **generated from the same TypeScript source** at build
-time, never hand-maintained.

 ### 7.10 Performance
 
-Client-side, the design is a net speedup with enforced budgets:
-
-- **Smaller synchronous bundle:** script-guard consolidation, single APS
-  module (via the ABI), dead-code deletion, trace-overlay extraction.
-- **Fewer repeated DOM walks:** slot resolution once per navigation in the
-  registry.
-- **Bounded waits instead of blind ones:** the 10 s silent renderer timeout
-  and forever-queued GPT cases become short, telemetered timeouts.
-- **Budgets in CI, precisely specified:** per-bundle byte sizes measured raw,
-  gzip, and Brotli for an exact named module set, compared against a
-  checked-in baseline artifact with a stated tolerance; the browser-spec
-  timing assertion (bids-script-to-first-`display()`) runs N times and gates
-  on a percentile, not a single sample.
-
-Server-side (new in this revision): each injected page currently concatenates
-and hashes the full immediate bundle, and the asset request concatenates it
-again (`bundle.rs:51`). Precompute bundle bytes + hash per registry module set
-(they change only at deploy/config time), and benchmark server CPU/heap before
-and after.
+Client-side speedups with enforced budgets: smaller synchronous bundle

+deletion, trace-overlay extraction); slot resolution once per navigation;
+bounded telemetered waits. Budgets, concretely: per-bundle raw/gzip/Brotli
+bytes for the exact ordered module vector of the reference config, compared
+to a checked-in baseline with **+5% tolerance**; the
+bids-script-to-first-`display()` browser assertion runs **20 iterations** and

 ## 8. Migration plan
 
-Reordered so every phase's prerequisites precede it; each phase ships behind a
-feature flag with canary thresholds and rollback criteria.
-
-- **Phase 0 — Contracts and toolchain.** Settle G1–G5 in code-adjacent docs;
-  toolchain upgrades (7.11); the trace envelope + beacon + four-adapter ingest
-  (accept-count-drop outside Fastly) behind a flag; server drop-reason
-  surfacing (5.4); reason codes on today's silent returns; delete the dead
-  expando writes. No runtime behavior change for pages with the flag off.
-- **Phase 1 — Runtime ABI + APS admission/identity.** G3 kernel registry in
-  `tsjs-core` (context-provider fix is the proof); wire-schema crate + shared
-  corpus (6.7); mediation selection helper + opt-in merge (6.1); render token
-  for renderer-only bids (6.4); renderer-endpoint startup validation (6.6);
-  bridge hardening minus fallback (6.8). APS renders after this phase wherever
-  GAM line items and configuration permit — the no-GAM fallback is explicitly
-  Phase 2.
-- **Phase 2 — Render state machine + GPT correctness.** Minimal `SlotRecord`
-  core (just enough for the state machine keys; full registry lands in
-  Phase 3); awaitable renderer conversion; the exactly-once fallback (6.5,
-  G4); restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery; correlator and SRA
-  fixes (7.8).
-- **Phase 3 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint, plugin lifecycle +
-  `PageSession` (7.6), adapters (7.2), full slot registry (7.3), messaging
-  module (7.5), namespace migration with its compatibility window (7.4),
-  asset content-addressing fix + server bundle precompute (G5, 7.10).
-- **Phase 4 — Decomposition.** File splits (7.9), script-guard consolidation,
-  bootstrap shrink behind its own flag with replay-timing specs (7.7), and
-  the end of the public-global compatibility window.
+Ordered so every phase's prerequisites precede it (the review's required
+order). Every phase ships behind a feature flag; shared canary criteria: no
+increase in `render_fail` rate beyond **+0.5% absolute** on canary traffic
+over 24 h, no new console errors in the browser-spec run, rollback = flag off
+(phases 0–2 are additive; later phases keep dual paths until their gate).
+
+- **Phase 0 — Asset identity, contracts, toolchain.** Path-based immutable
+  asset identity + manifest retention + rolling-deploy tests (G5) — this lands
+  **before** anything makes ABI compatibility load-bearing. Toolchain floors
+  (7.11). Contracts G1–G5 recorded as code-adjacent docs. Delete the dead
+  expando writes. Server drop-reason surfacing (5.5) — server-only, no client
+  dependency.
+- **Phase 1 — Kernel ABI and sessions.** Minimal kernel in `tsjs-core`
+  publishing the versioned registry (G3); `RuntimeSession` /
+  `NavigationSession` scopes (7.6); context-provider fix as the ABI proof;
+  install manifest injection.
+- **Phase 2 — Trace and beacon.** Server correlation nonce for `nav_gen 0` +
+  page-bids trace echo (G1); beacon service on the Phase-1 kernel; ingest
+  route in all four adapters (5.3); diagnostic capability; `ts_client_events`
+  datasource.
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Wire-schema crate + corpus (6.7); mediation
+  helper + opt-in merge (6.1); render token (6.4); unconditional versioned
+  renderer route + two-stage ack (6.6, G4b); bridge hardening (6.8); GPT

 ## 10. Alternatives considered
 
 1. **Keep patching APS point-failures without telemetry.** Rejected: three
-   consecutive correct fixes have not produced ads; without disposition data
-   the next fix is another guess.
-2. **Direct-render APS always (skip GAM/PUC).** Simplest render path, but
-   changes GAM reporting/pacing semantics unilaterally; kept as the opt-in,
-   state-machine-guarded fallback instead.

-- **Merge strategy misconfiguration** changes auction economics; mitigated by
-  keeping `mediator_only` the default, the selection report, and omitted
-  serialization at defaults.
-- **Beacon abuse/volume:** bounded by pre-parse caps, origin checks, rate
-  limits, sticky sampling, and closed enums.
-- **ABI freeze risk:** `tsjs._internal.registry` becomes load-bearing;
-  versioned from day one, majors checked at lookup.
-- **Bootstrap replay** changes observable ordering; own flag, replay-timing
-  specs, staged rollout.
-- **Schema generation** adds a build step; checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.

Subject: [PATCH 207/494] Revise design spec for the third review round

Moves the SPA trace onto a validated X-TSJS-Trace-Id header because
page-bids is a GET, adds the cache-privacy invariant for trace-bearing
HTML, rebuilds cycle attribution without ordering assumptions (ts-vs-
publisher classification, one outstanding TS cycle per slot, overlap
fails closed, real-GAM release-gating test), scopes nurl/burl to bid
paths that carry them with attempt-scoped idempotency and leaves the
APS runner lifecycle untouched, removes render_confirmed after the
sandboxed-srcdoc correction, pulls minimal messaging, the cycle
registry, and unconditional GPT subscriptions forward so Phase 3 has
its dependencies, defines mixed-version ABI verdicts (major/minMinor
ranges, quarantine, first-wins among compatible), makes retained
assets realizable via two-stage publishing to shared immutable
storage with both rolling directions tested, groups beacon events per
trace with per-trace capabilities and page-bids capability issuance,
fails telemetry rate limiting closed with per-adapter trusted-address
definitions, parameterizes the SLO and phase-specific gates, corrects
the renderer /v1 to immutable caching with an aggregate-only counter
claim and a fully specified CSP report route, allows fallback on
attributed gam_empty regardless of slot ownership, and tightens the
remaining bounded-schema, provenance, and performance-method edges.

 ## 3. The GPT reality this design must respect
 
-The GPT integration is a **bootstrap-first hybrid**: the server injects a
-495-line ES5 `gpt_bootstrap.js` inline in `<head>` before the TSJS bundle, and
-the two coordinate through shared monkeypatch sentinels, with document order
-deciding the winner. The audit's key facts:
-
-1. **The bundle's handoff and initial-load code is dead in production.** The
-   bootstrap installs its wrappers first and sets the same sentinels the bundle
-   checks; ~200 lines of the TypeScript the test suite exercises most heavily
-   never run on a real page.
-2. **The slot handoff can alias a publisher's new div to a GPT slot bound to a
-   dead element** — and the orphan-recovery watcher built to repair exactly that
-   was **lost in the #922 merge** (`0dc9b19a9` resolved `gpt/index.ts` to the rc
-   side). `updateRender` now has no production caller,
-   `__tsRenderGeneration` / `__tsRenderBid` are dead writes, and every
-   bridge-served impression double-counts in the trace. Open PR #997 appears to
-   be the reworked replacement.
-3. **TS refreshes never pass `changeCorrelator: false`**, silently changing
-   roadblock, competitive-exclusion, and frequency-capping behavior.
+1. **Bootstrap-first hybrid:** the server injects a 495-line ES5
+   `gpt_bootstrap.js` before the bundle; shared monkeypatch sentinels mean the
+   bundle's handoff and initial-load code is dead in production.
+2. **The #922 merge loss:** orphan-slot recovery and `updateRender` enrichment
+   are gone (`0dc9b19a9`); `__tsRenderGeneration`/`__tsRenderBid` are dead
+   writes; bridge-served impressions double-count. PR #997 appears to be the
+   reworked replacement.
+3. **TS refreshes never pass `changeCorrelator: false`.**
 4. **`enableSingleRequest()` is called blind** after the publisher's own
    `enableServices()` has almost always run.
 5. Responsive resolution is a DOM-element-selection ladder; ambiguity silently
-   skips the slot for the whole pass.
+   skips the slot.
 6. Three independent wrappers on `pubads().refresh` coordinate via
-   window-global booleans that async wrappers observe already reset.

-   arrive arbitrarily late. Any fallback design must treat an issued GPT
-   request as uncancelable.
+   window-global booleans.
+7. **GPT offers no request cancellation** (`gpt/index.ts:1080`), and its event
+   contract identifies only the slot: Google documents no per-refresh
+   identifier and no completion-order guarantee for overlapping requests, and

+   loaded. Publisher code can refresh an adopted slot while a TS cycle is

 ### G1 — Trace identity and correlation

-telemetry uses an independent fresh UUID (`telemetry.rs:94-97`) — and, decisive

-  per HTML response, writes it into that response's auction telemetry rows at
-  emit time, and injects it into the page as a `tsjs` boot field alongside the
-  sampling decision. The client's `NavigationSession` adopts it. It is a new
-  value, never `AuctionRequest.id`.
-- **SPA navigations (`nav_gen > 0`):** the **client** mints the `trace_id` for
-  the navigation and sends it in the `/_ts/page-bids` request body; the server
-  records it contemporaneously in that auction's telemetry rows. No

+**The client-visible auction id must never be ingested** (EC-derived:

+is minted by whoever acts first:
+
+- **Initial navigation (`nav_gen = 0`):** the server mints `trace_id`
+  (128-bit CSPRNG, `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), writes it into that response's auction
+  telemetry rows at emit time (a new nullable `trace_id` column on the
+  existing auction datasource; the independent telemetry `auction_id` UUID
+  remains and remains separate), and injects it into the page as a `tsjs`
+  boot field with the sampling decision and, when the tester gate is active,
+  the diagnostic capability (5.3).
+- **Cache-privacy invariant:** a trace or capability is injected **only** into
+  responses that ran a per-request auction, and any trace-bearing HTML MUST be
+  shared-cache-ineligible: `Cache-Control: private, no-store` and no
+  validators that could revalidate a shared copy. This is enforced by
+  construction (the injection site is the auction-bearing render path) and by
+  test. A shared-cached page would have no per-visitor auction to correlate
+  anyway; the invariant makes that alignment explicit.
+- **SPA navigations (`nav_gen > 0`):** `/_ts/page-bids` **stays GET** (it is
+  GET in `publisher.rs:3815` and the client issues GET at
+  `gpt/index.ts:1152`; a browser GET cannot carry a body). The client mints
+  the `trace_id` and sends it in a validated **`X-TSJS-Trace-Id`** request
+  header — the request already carries a non-simple TSJS header, so CORS
+  preflight behavior is unchanged. The server records it contemporaneously in
+  that auction's telemetry rows and the JSON response **echoes the accepted
+  trace id** and returns a capability bound to it when the tester gate is
+  active.
 - **Envelope:** every event carries
-  `{trace_id, sampled, nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq}` — per event, not per batch,
-  so a transport batch may span navigations without ambiguity. `seq` is a
-  per-trace monotonic counter for ordering and deduplication.

 ### G2 — Render identity: `hb_adid`, the APS token, and the PBS Cache UUID
 
-**The PBS Cache contract stays untouched.** `hb_adid` deliberately prefers the
-Prebid Cache UUID (`publisher.rs:3355`), and both the emitted cache coordinates
-and the bridge's cache fetch assume `?uuid=<hb_adid>` (`publisher.rs:3450`,
-`gpt/index.ts:1700`).
-
-Contract:
-
-- Bids with a cache id: `hb_adid` = cache UUID, exactly as today. Bids with
-  markup and no cache id: existing fallback chain, exactly as today.
-- **Renderer-only bids (APS): `hb_adid` = a server-minted render token**,
-  format `^[a-z0-9]{12}$` (12 chars exactly, 36¹² ≈ 4.7 × 10¹⁸ values),
-  CSPRNG-generated. Collision handling is honest about its scope: retry on
-  collision **within the minting auction** (the only scope the server can
-  check without storage); cross-auction uniqueness is **probabilistic**, with
-  the birthday bound documented (at 10⁶ live tokens the collision probability
-  is ~10⁻⁷) and made harmless by scoping: the client registry keys tokens per
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen)`, so a cross-page collision cannot cross wires.
-- Token lifecycle: TTL **15 minutes** from mint, one-time consumption in the
-  bridge registry, invalidated by navigation.
-- The client-side Prebid adapter path keeps Prebid's generated `adId`; both
-  paths register into one bridge registry keyed by whichever id that path
-  observes.
-- Regression tests: non-APS cache-backed bids keep byte-identical `hb_adid`
-  and cache coordinates.

 ### G3 — Runtime ABI: how code shares state under the IIFE build
 
-Every entry point is built as a self-contained IIFE with dynamic imports
-inlined (`build-all.mjs:46`), and the server concatenates already-closed IIFEs
-(`bundle.rs:23`) — a module `import` never shares state across bundles. Live
-proof: `core/context.ts:11` holds a private context-provider `Map` while
-`permutive/index.ts:102` registers into its own copy.
-
-Contract — **a versioned registration ABI on `window.tsjs._internal`**:
-
-- The kernel ships **only** in `tsjs-core` (always first in the concatenated
-  unified bundle) and publishes `tsjs._internal = { abi: 1, registry }` exactly
-  once, guarded by a window-level sentinel.
-- **Construction ownership:** the kernel constructs and registers the core
-  service instances (event bus, beacon queue, session objects, slot registry,
-  render state machine) during its own boot; integrations construct only
-  integration-scoped services and register them during their `install()`.
-- All **stateful** services are reached only through
-  `tsjs._internal.registry.get(name, minVersion)` at call time. Pure stateless

-### G4 — Render lifecycle: cycles, acknowledgements, and honest states
-
-Four sub-contracts, each fixing a hole the reviews identified.
-
-**G4a — GPT request-cycle protocol.** `slotRenderEnded` identifies a slot, not
-a request, and the bridge currently reads live `window.tsjs.bids`
-(`gpt/index.ts:1606`) while the generation snapshots are dead writes
-(`gpt/index.ts:1085`). Contract: every TS-issued `display()`/`refresh()` opens
-a **cycle** `(slot, refresh_gen)` pushed onto a per-slot pending-cycle queue;
-`slotRequested` confirms it; GPT fires slot events in order per slot, so
-`slotRenderEnded` is attributed to the oldest confirmed pending cycle for the
-slot. Each bridge token and each render attempt binds to exactly one cycle. If
-attribution is ambiguous (overlapping cycles the queue cannot separate, or an
-event with no pending cycle), the state machine for that slot **fails closed**:
-no fallback, `render_fail{cycle_unattributable}`, console warning.
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement path.** Today the renderer document posts ready only
-to its immediate parent (`aps.rs:105`); in the PUC path that parent is the
-nested renderer frame, which resolves a local promise (`render.ts:423`) the
-top-level kernel cannot observe — and callbacks currently fire right after the
-bridge posts its response (`gpt/index.ts:1572`, `:1620`). Contract: the bridge
-response carries a **per-attempt CSPRNG acknowledgement nonce**; the dynamic
-renderer posts versioned `render_accepted` / `render_failed{reason}` messages
-**to the kernel** (top window), carrying the nonce; the kernel validates
-source ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`, and `refresh_gen` before any state
-transition or callback. This protocol is pinned by tests for all three flows:
-SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame.
-
-**G4c — Honest observation names.** The browser cannot see inside an opaque
-APS frame, and the iframe's geometry is assigned by our own renderer — it
-proves nothing about content. A nonempty `slotRenderEnded` proves GAM
-delivered a creative container, not that the nested runner painted. The state
-machine therefore records observations under accurate names —
-`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`,
-`runner_failed` — and **APS attempts terminate at `render_accepted`**
-(= authenticated `runner_loaded` ack) unless Amazon provides a real completion
-acknowledgement. `render_confirmed` exists only for paths with same-origin
-observable content (inline adm frames TS itself writes); it is never derived
-from geometry or from PUC container delivery. Tests: accepted-but-blank, and
-nonempty-`slotRenderEnded`-before-bridge-claim.
-
-**G4d — `nurl`/`burl` are separate business events.** OpenRTB 2.6
-distinguishes them: `nurl` is the win notice (implies neither delivery nor
-billability); `burl` is the billable-event notice under exchange policy.
-Today both fire together (`gpt/index.ts:459`). Contract — independent,
-idempotent transitions:
-
-1. winner selection → fire `nurl`;
-2. `render_accepted` (authenticated) → fire `burl` — this is the **declared
-   commercial policy** for APS given no paint acknowledgement exists, recorded
-   here explicitly rather than implied;
-3. terminal failure after acceptance → no un-firing; the row is labeled
-   `billed_then_failed` so the policy's cost is measurable.
-
-**G4e — Fallback trigger.** GPT offers no cancellation (section 3.7), so a
-timeout can race a late fill that arrives after a fallback has rendered and
-billed. Contract: the opt-in direct fallback
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`) renders **only after an
-explicit terminal empty event for the bound cycle** (`gam_empty` from G4a
-attribution). A timeout emits diagnostics (`render_fail{bridge_claim_timeout}`)
-and **never renders**. For publisher-owned (adopted) slots, fallback is
-disabled entirely. TS-owned-slot timeout rendering is admitted only as a
-possible future extension that must first destroy the slot to retire the
-request, and is out of scope here.
+IIFE-per-bundle with inlined imports (`build-all.mjs:46`, `bundle.rs:23`)
+means module imports never share state across bundles (live proof:
+`core/context.ts:11` vs `permutive/index.ts:102`).
+
+Contract — a versioned registration ABI on `window.tsjs._internal`:
+
+- Kernel ships only in `tsjs-core`, publishes
+  `tsjs._internal = { abi: 1, registry }` once (window sentinel). The kernel
+  constructs and registers core service instances during boot; integrations
+  register integration-scoped services during `install()`.
+- **Version semantics (settling the mixed-version gap):** every service
+  registers with `(major, minor)`. `registry.get(name, {major, minMinor})`
+  succeeds iff an implementation with the same `major` and `minor ≥ minMinor`
+  is registered. The install manifest's plugin versions are **ranges with the
+  same semantics** (required major, minimum minor), not exact pins.
+  An incompatible service registration is **quarantined** — recorded, not
+  installed — and surfaced as `abi_mismatch`; an incompatible plugin as
+  `bundle_partial`. **First-wins applies only among compatible
+  registrations.** The old-deferred-bundle + new-core scenario therefore has a
+  deterministic verdict: the old plugin either satisfies the manifest range
+  and runs, or is quarantined loudly.
+- Stateful services only via the registry at call time; stateless helpers may
+  be imported and inlined. Single-module-graph builds remain the successor
+  option behind the same surface.
+
+### G4 — Render lifecycle
+
+**G4a — Request-cycle protocol (no ordering assumptions).** GPT documents no
+per-refresh identity and no completion-order guarantee, so the protocol
+assumes neither:
+
+- Every observable request initiation is classified `ts | publisher`: TS's own
+  `display()`/`refresh()` calls open TS cycles; the wrapped publisher
+  entry-points and `slotRequested` events that match no TS cycle are recorded
+  as publisher-initiated.
+- **TS serializes itself to at most one outstanding cycle per slot** — a new
+  TS refresh for a slot with a pending cycle waits or supersedes explicitly;
+  it is never concurrently pending.
+- With ≤1 TS cycle outstanding, a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff no
+  untracked or publisher-initiated request overlaps it. **Any overlap marks
+  the slot `cycle_unattributable` and fails closed** (no fallback, no state
+  transition, console warning + disposition).
+- `slotRenderEnded` is treated as "creative code injected", not "resources
+  loaded" — it can confirm delivery, never paint.
+- The deterministic PUC/message harness exercises the protocol in CI, and a
+  **release-gating real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS
+  cycle) validates the contract against actual GPT, since a FIFO-assuming
+  stub proves nothing.
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement path.** Unchanged from revision 3 (review-accepted):
+per-attempt CSPRNG nonce in the bridge response; the dynamic renderer posts
+versioned accepted/failed messages to the kernel; the kernel validates source
+ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` before any transition or
+callback; pinned for SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame flows.
+
+**G4c — Honest observations, `render_confirmed` removed.** The inline-adm
+frames are sandboxed `srcdoc` documents with `allow-same-origin` deliberately
+omitted (`gpt/index.ts:358`) — their origins are opaque, so revision 3's
+"same-origin observable" premise was false. The event is removed entirely.
+The taxonomy is now: `gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `renderer_document_loaded`,
+`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded` (the iframe `load`
+event for TS-written adm frames — document delivery, not paint). **Every
+render path terminates at `render_accepted`** (authenticated per G4b where
+the renderer protocol exists; `adm_document_loaded` for adm frames). No
+observation claims paint. A future trusted completion acknowledgement (open
+question 6) may reintroduce a confirmed state under a new name.
+
+**G4d — Win/billing notifications, scoped to paths that have them.** APS
+**intentionally carries neither** `nurl` nor `burl` (`aps.rs:812` sets both
+`None`; the minimized AAX envelope excludes notifications; the integration
+guide documents that generic win/billing beacons are not fired for APS). APS
+billing runs entirely inside the Amazon runner lifecycle, and this design
+does not change the APS wire contract.
+
+For bid paths that do carry the URLs (PBS and other OpenRTB providers):
+
+- **Trigger semantics, published explicitly:** `nurl` fires when the render
+  attempt binds the bid to a cycle (Trusted Server's selection produced the
+  candidate GAM will render — the earliest point at which "win" is
+  meaningful for this pipeline); `burl` fires at the attempt's
+  `render_accepted`. Both are **attempt-scoped**, keyed by
+  `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, hb_adid)` as the idempotency key —
+  fired at most once per attempt, not page-wide.
+- **Owner and mechanics:** the client render pipeline owns firing (as today,
+  `gpt/index.ts:459`), via `sendBeacon`/`no-cors fetch`, no retries (a beacon
+  either queues or is lost; retrying risks double-billing).
+- Terminal failure after acceptance is labeled `billed_then_failed`; no
+  un-firing.
+
+**G4e — Fallback trigger.** The opt-in fallback
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`) renders only after a
+**terminal `gam_empty` unambiguously attributed to a TS-initiated cycle**
+(G4a). Timeouts are diagnostics-only and never render. Revision 3 disabled
+fallback for adopted slots entirely, which — as the review noted — excludes
+the common production path (pre-existing publisher slots are adopted and
+refreshed, `gpt/index.ts:925`). Revised: **ownership does not gate the
+fallback; attribution does.** An adopted slot whose attributed TS cycle ends
+in `gam_empty` may fall back; any publisher-initiated or unattributable cycle
+never triggers it. The success criteria and browser specs cover the adopted
+case explicitly.
 
 ### G5 — Deployment contracts
 
-- **Config rollback:** every new auction/config field is default-valued and
-  omitted from serialization at its default (`auction_config_types.rs:7`
-  denies unknown fields), so blobs written by a new binary remain readable by
-  the previous one unless an operator opts in.
-- **Asset identity is path-based and retained.** A query hash the handler
-  ignores (`tsjs.rs:3`, `publisher.rs:294`) is not content addressing, and
-  redirecting an old hash to current bytes just executes new code under old
-  HTML, bootstrap flags, and ABI expectations. Contract: the content hash
-  moves into the **pathname** (`/static/tsjs/<hash>/<name>.js`); the server
-  serves through a hash→bytes manifest that **retains prior artifacts** beyond
-  the maximum HTML cache lifetime plus the deferred-load window (retention
-  floor: 7 days); `Cache-Control: immutable` only on exact hash matches;
-  unknown hashes answer `410 Gone` with `no-store` — never a redirect to
-  different bytes. Precomputed concatenations are keyed by the **ordered
-  module-ID vector** (order affects side effects), not the set.
-- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in all four adapters (Fastly,
-  Axum, Cloudflare, Spin) as an early, EC-free, filter-free route. Only Fastly
-  has a real sink today; the others accept-count-drop by explicit contract.
-- **Storage:** a new dedicated datasource named `ts_client_events`; retention
-  **30 days**; production sampling default **10%** (operator-tunable);
-  schema versioned with the event enum.
-- **Phase ordering** is section 8's; each phase ships behind a feature flag
-  with the named canary thresholds and rollback criteria in section 8.
+- **Config rollback:** new config fields are default-valued and omitted from
+  serialization at defaults. **Rollback runbook rule:** after an operator has
+  opted into a new field, rolling the binary back requires restoring the
+  default and pushing the default-compatible blob first (this mirrors the
+  project's existing rollback guidance).
+- **Asset identity and the artifact source (settling "not realizable"):**
+  hash in the pathname; and artifacts are **published to shared immutable
+  platform storage (KV/config store) as deploy stage 1, before any HTML
+  references them** — binaries serve the current vector from embedded bytes
+  (fast path) and everything else by hash lookup in shared storage. This
+  answers all four skew cases: new HTML hash `B` reaching an old instance
+  (lookup serves `B` from storage), a miss for retained `A` after only `B` is
+  embedded (lookup), already-issued legacy query-hash URLs (the legacy path
+  keeps serving current bytes with short-TTL, non-immutable caching through a
+  documented sunset), and renderer `/v2` reaching a `/v1`-era instance
+  (versioned renderer documents are published to the same storage in
+  stage 1). Two-stage deployment is the contract: **stage 1 publish
+  artifacts, stage 2 roll binaries/HTML.** Both rolling directions and the
+  legacy URL are tested. Retention: ≥ 7 days, which must exceed the HTML
+  cache lifetime — itself now bounded by contract (auction-bearing HTML is
+  `no-store` per G1; any cacheable non-auction HTML referencing tsjs sets
+  `max-age ≤ 300`). `Cache-Control: immutable` only on exact hash matches;
+  unknown hashes → `410 Gone`, `no-store`. Concatenations are keyed by the
+  **ordered module-ID vector**, precomputed in Phase 0 (which owns asset
+  identity).
+- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in all four adapters as an
+  early, EC-free, filter-free route; only Fastly has a real sink; others
+  accept-count-drop by explicit contract.
+- **Storage:** datasource `ts_client_events`; retention 30 days; production
+  sampling 10%. These are **adopted defaults** (operator-tunable), no longer
+  open questions; the remaining open question is only whether non-Fastly
+  adapters get sinks (OQ5).
+- **Phase gates are phase-specific** (section 8) — the render-fail canary
+  applies only from Phase 3 onward, because earlier phases don't create that
+  metric.

-the documented last-resort `pagehide` fallback (credentialed by platform
-design, and its `true` means queued, not received — the handler ignores
-credentials either way). Flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s.
-
-### 5.3 Ingest wire contract (numeric, complete)
-
-- Route: `POST /_ts/client-events`, registered in all four adapters before
-  auth/EC/filters. Content type: `application/json` only (no
-  `Content-Encoding`; compressed bodies rejected). Responds
-  `204 Cache-Control: no-store`.
-- Limits enforced **before parse or log**: body ≤ **16 KiB**; ≤ **64** events
-  per batch; any string field ≤ **64** chars; `trace_id` must match
-  `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; `nav_gen`/`refresh_gen`/`seq` are integers in
-  `[0, 2³¹)`. Violation → `204` (accepted-and-dropped) + abuse counter; the
-  endpoint never echoes input.
-- Same-origin enforcement: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present;
-  otherwise `Origin` must match the serving host; **absent both → reject**
-  (drop-and-count). All strings are structurally serialized (never
-  interpolated into log lines).
-- Client IP for rate limiting is derived per adapter from its documented
-  trusted source (Fastly: the platform client IP; Axum: configured trusted
-  proxy header; Cloudflare/Spin: platform equivalents). Rate limiting uses the
-  platform limiter where one exists (Fastly); portable adapters ship a
-  best-effort in-memory limiter and the policy is **fail-open with an abuse
-  counter** (dropping telemetry must never block ad delivery).
-- **Diagnostic mode is a server-injected capability, not a query flag.** The
-  tester gate (cookie) is evaluated server-side at HTML render; the page
-  receives a short-lived signed capability token (HMAC over
-  `trace_id + expiry`, ≤ 15 minutes) which the client echoes in the batch.
-  The ingest handler verifies the signature — this works with
-  `credentials: "omit"` because the capability travels in the payload, and a
-  public query flag alone can never switch a session to unsampled.
+`fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` primary. The `pagehide`
+fallback is `navigator.sendBeacon(url, new Blob([json], {type:

+- **Rate limiting fails closed for telemetry:** when the limiter denies, or
+  when a portable adapter's best-effort limiter is unavailable or errors, the
+  request is dropped early with `204` (count only, no parse, no sink). Ad
+  delivery is unaffected by construction because this route serves nothing.
+- **Trusted client address, per adapter, concretely:** Fastly — the
+  platform's client IP API; Axum — the rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
+  beyond `trusted_proxy_hops` (a required config value when the beacon is
+  enabled; without it, the socket peer address is used and forwarded headers
+  are ignored); Cloudflare — `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin — the platform client
+  address. Spoofable headers are never trusted beyond the configured hop
+  count.

+  `trace_id + expiry` (≤ 15 min), delivered via the G1 boot field (initial
+  trace) or the page-bids response (SPA traces), echoed per trace group.

 ### 5.4 Two modes, honestly separated
 
-- **Production telemetry:** sticky-sampled (default 10%), SLO: **a delivery
-  failure mode affecting ≥ 1% of impressions is visible in `ts_client_events`
-  within one hour**.
-- **Diagnostic mode:** capability-gated, unsampled, full event stream plus
-  console mirroring — the "one page load names the failing reason" tool.
+- **Production telemetry** (sink-backed deployments only — today Fastly):

+  ≥ 1% of **sampled render attempts** is visible in `ts_client_events` within
+  one hour, evaluated only when the deployment produced ≥ 10,000 sampled
+  render attempts in that hour, with sink ingestion freshness ≤ 5 minutes;
+  sink outages pause the SLO clock and are alarmed separately. Non-sink
+  adapters are explicitly out of SLO scope, and no global gate depends on

+forwarded candidates**, is counted under a dedicated

+possible self-competition instead of silently treating it as distinct demand.
+Deal priority remains out of scope (the `Bid` model carries no deal identity;

+helper serves both mediation lifecycles, with tests for each.

-unrequested response size would conceal an upstream protocol violation.

-- Exact size membership (`aps.rs:657-668`) remains the admission rule,
-  unchanged.
-- The fix is configuration plus visibility: the drop summary (5.5) names the
-  rejected size per slot (`invalid_dimensions{300x600}`), so an operator sees
-  exactly which format to add to the slot's `formats` if they want that
-  demand. Documentation gains a "sizing your slots for APS" section.

-`gam_empty`; timeouts are diagnostics-only; disabled for adopted slots. The
-direct renderer is converted to an awaitable API with cancellation and a
-terminal reason first; the fallback lands only after that conversion.
+As G4e — attribution-gated, not ownership-gated; timeouts never render; the
+renderer is converted to an awaitable API with cancellation and terminal
+reasons before the fallback lands.
 
 ### 6.6 Renderer endpoint — unconditional, versioned, observable
 
-Topology is resolved now rather than left conditional:
-
-- **The static renderer document route registers unconditionally in every
-  adapter.** It contains no configuration, no secrets, and validates its input
-  client-side; serving it cannot leak anything, and conditional registration
-  is exactly what created the silent cross-deployment failure class. (The APS
-  _provider_ stays config-gated; only the static document is unconditional.)
-- The document is **versioned in its path**
-  (`/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`) and served `Cache-Control: no-store`;
-  descriptor compatibility across N/N−1 is guaranteed by the outer-tolerant
-  validation of 6.7. The client pins the version it targets.
-- Startup validation fails loudly if any configured auth handler pattern
-  covers `/integrations/aps/renderer`.
-- **Two-stage acknowledgement (with G4b):** the document first posts an
-  authenticated `document_loaded` (proving route + auth + CSP allowed the
-  document itself), then the separate runner-load result. This splits the old
-  blind timeout into `renderer_document_no_load` (route/auth/stale-CDN/network)
-  vs `runner_no_load` / `runner_failed` (Amazon script or CSP) — distinct
-  signals, as the success criteria require.
-- Server-side: route status/version counters (requests, unknown-version,
-  auth-blocked) join the telemetry rows.
-- **CSP changes ship report-only first** (`Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only`
-  canary with a bounded report endpoint), then enforce; each added source is
-  justified in a comment and covered by the browser spec. Tests cover broad
-  auth patterns, stale versions, and CSP failures on all adapters.
-
-### 6.7 One descriptor schema — structural generation, semantic validators kept
-
-- The wire truth is the tagged enum `BidRenderer` (discriminator lives there,
-  not on `ApsRendererV1` — `types.rs:188-211`); the generated schema is the
-  full tagged envelope.
-- Generation lives in a **separate wire-schema crate** (or host-side xtask) —
-  core already depends on `trusted-server-js` (`Cargo.toml:45`), so the
-  reverse edge would be a cycle. Generated TS artifacts are checked in; CI
-  fails on staleness.
-- Generation covers structure only; the semantic security checks stay
-  hand-written on both sides (URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length
-  bounds, the exact one-bid envelope projection, cross-field equality).
-  **Unknown-field tolerance applies only to the outer versioned descriptor;
-  the decoded AAX envelope remains an exact projection.**
-- A shared positive + adversarial corpus runs through the Rust validator, the
-  TS validator, and the inline renderer document in CI.
+- The static renderer document route registers unconditionally in every
+  adapter (the APS provider stays config-gated). Startup validation fails
+  loudly if an auth handler pattern covers it.
+- **Caching matches immutability:** `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1` is an
+  immutable artifact — its bytes change only by shipping `/v2` — so it is
+  served with `Cache-Control: immutable` (long max-age), published to shared
+  artifact storage in deploy stage 1 like every versioned asset (G5), which
+  also answers version-skew (`/v2` requests reaching older instances are
+  served from storage). Revision 3's `no-store` contradicted the versioning
+  and is corrected.
+- Two-stage acknowledgement (G4b): authenticated `document_loaded`, then the
+  runner-load result — splitting `renderer_document_no_load` from
+  `runner_no_load`/`runner_failed`.
+- **Server route counters are aggregate** (requests, unknown-version,
+  auth-blocked): the document request carries no trace (the nonce travels in
+  the URL fragment, which never reaches the server), so no row-level join is
+  claimed.
+- **CSP report-only canary, fully specified:** reports go to a dedicated
+  `POST /_ts/csp-reports` route (same pre-parse caps and same-origin rules as
+  5.3; credentials ignored; rate-limited fail-closed); stored as **aggregate
+  counters only** (directive, blocked-origin **host only** — full URLs
+  redacted) on sink-backed adapters, count-and-drop elsewhere; enforcement
+  follows only after a clean canary window.
+
+### 6.7 One descriptor schema
+
+As revision 3 (review-accepted): tagged-envelope schema generated from a
+separate wire-schema crate/xtask; semantic validators hand-written on both
+sides; outer-tolerance only, exact AAX projection; shared
+positive + adversarial corpus across Rust, TS, and the inline document;
+staleness CI.
 
 ### 6.8 Bridge hardening
 
-- **Ownership proof stays source-first**, and the SafeFrame extension is
-  bounded: the kernel maintains a map of known slot-root `WindowProxy` objects
-  (the iframes GPT created under each slot element); on a message, it walks
-  the **sender's own parent chain** (`event.source.parent`, …) up to depth
-  **5**, looking for a known root — it never enumerates or recursively scans
-  an attacker-controllable frame tree. Unresolvable source → refuse with
-  `bridge_id_mismatch`.
-- Adversarial tests: wrong-slot tokens, nested foreign frames, replayed and
-  duplicated messages, stolen tokens, previous-navigation tokens, plus the
-  positive SafeFrame case.
-- Blanket top-of-listener hygiene: parse and ownership-check before branch
-  logic.
-- Delete the dead duplicate renderer branch (C5); renderer branches emit the
-  same trace records as adm/cache branches under G4's taxonomy and the G4d
-  `nurl`/`burl` split (C7).
+As revision 3 (review-accepted): source-first ownership with the bounded
+parent-chain SafeFrame walk (depth 5, known slot-root `WindowProxy` map, no
+tree scans); adversarial test set; top-of-listener hygiene; dead branch
+deleted; renderer branches emit trace records under G4's taxonomy, with G4d
+notifications only where the bid path carries them (never APS).

+holding ownership, adoption, handoff claims, responsive resolution, pending
+request cycles (G4a), and targeting-key history. No expandos on GPT objects.
 
 ### 7.4 Global namespace policy — with a compatibility window
 
-- One owned global, `window.tsjs`; public API versioned; coordination state
-  under `tsjs._internal` (G3). **The public queue keeps its existing name:
-  `window.tsjs.que`** (`types.ts:259`, drained at `core/index.ts:25`) —
-  revision 2's `cmd` was an error; renaming a public surface silently would
-  violate this very section.
-- Inventory first: every current global classified public
-  (`globalThis.tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig`, `tsjs.que`) or private
-  (`__tsjs_*` flags, expandos, sentinels).
-- **Public globals: dual-read/write for a bounded window — two release
-  cycles, minimum 60 days — ending only after an adoption gate: beacon-observed
-  old-name usage below 0.1% of traces for 14 consecutive days.** Pre-init
-  compatibility tests pin that config set before the bundle loads keeps
-  working.
-- Private globals migrate immediately: dead expando writes deleted now; slot
-  state into `SlotRecord`; function sentinels into a kernel `WeakSet`; boot
-  flags into `tsjs` boot fields.
-- `requestAds` keeps its void signature; failure surfacing arrives as a **new
-  versioned async API** (`tsjs.requestAdsAsync(...): Promise<RequestAdsResult>`)
-  rather than changing the existing contract.
+As revision 3 (review-accepted): `window.tsjs` + `tsjs._internal`; the public
+queue keeps its real name **`tsjs.que`**; public globals
+(`tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig`, `tsjs.que`) get dual-read/write for two
+release cycles / ≥ 60 days, closing only on the adoption gate (old-name usage
+< 0.1% of traces for 14 days, measured on sink-backed deployments);
+`requestAds` keeps its void signature; `requestAdsAsync` is the new versioned
+API; private globals migrate immediately.
 
 ### 7.5 Messaging module
 
-All `postMessage` traffic through one module: versioned envelopes, message
-name constants, the G4b acknowledgement nonces, source validation per 6.8, one
-audit point.
+All `postMessage` through one module: versioned envelopes, name constants,
+G4b nonces, 6.8 source validation. A **minimal** messaging module (envelope +
+constants + validation helpers used by the bridge) lands early (Phase 1) so
+Phase 3 does not depend on Phase-4 structure; the full migration of every
+legacy call site completes in Phase 4.
 
 ### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle and session model
 
-- **Activation:** Rust owns integration selection today and continues to — the
-  server injects a **versioned install manifest** (enabled plugin ids +
-  expected versions, in injection order) into the pre-core `tsjs.que`. The
-  kernel executes the manifest on boot; nobody else calls install in
-  production (the API remains callable for tests).
-- `tsjs.definePlugin(id, version, install, dispose)`: synchronous `install`
-  by default; a plugin may return a promise, but anything `adInit` depends on
-  (gpt, prebid shim registration) must complete synchronously and is listed as
-  such in the manifest. Late registration after the manifest requested the id
-  installs on arrival (pending-install queue) bounded by a missing-module
-  timeout emitting `bundle_partial`. A stale async completion (arriving after
-  its `RuntimeSession` was disposed) is discarded. Duplicate `(id, version)`
-  is a no-op; a different version for a registered id: first-wins + loud
-  telemetry. Disposal runs in reverse install order.
-- **Session model, split as the review required:**
-  - `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime): bridge listener, history hook, pbjs
-    subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue.
-  - `NavigationSession` (per SPA navigation): `trace_id`, render attempts,
-    slot aliases, targeting history, navigation-scoped timers/observers.
-  - `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle): state machine instance, ack nonce.
-    Each owns an **enumerable** disposal inventory; navigation disposes
-    `NavigationSession` children only.
-- Per-plugin exception isolation: a plugin that throws during install is
-  quarantined and reported; it cannot halt the bundle.
-- Error policy: no empty `catch`; every catch handles, logs with context, or
-  emits a disposition reason. The auction fetch gets timeout +
-  `AbortController`.
-- **Console logging is retained, not replaced.** Every issue-surfacing
-  condition keeps (or gains) a `log.warn` debuggable from DevTools; existing
-  warnings survive verbatim or strengthened; `debug`-level failure paths that
-  indicate delivery or security-relevant failures are promoted to `warn`;
-  every `render_fail`/dependency-timeout disposition emits a paired `warn`
-  with the same reason code.
+As revision 3 (review-accepted), with G3's sharpened version semantics:
+manifest versions are ranges (major + minMinor); quarantine on
+incompatibility; first-wins only among compatible. Sessions:
+`RuntimeSession` / `NavigationSession` / `RenderAttempt` with enumerable
+disposal inventories. Error policy: no empty `catch`; auction fetch gets
+timeout + `AbortController`. **Console logging retained, not replaced**
+(paired `warn` with the beacon's reason code; `debug`-level
+delivery/security failures promoted to `warn`).
 
 ### 7.7 The bootstrap problem
 
-Target: shrink the inline `gpt_bootstrap.js` to a queue-and-flags stub with
-the bundle replaying recorded calls on install. This is **not a pure move** —
-replay changes observable ordering — so it ships behind its own flag with
-browser specs extended to cover replay timing, and the no-bundle fallback
-("ads still render if the bundle fails", pinned by `gpt.rs:1174-1179`) is
-**generated from the same TypeScript source** at build time.
+As revision 3: queue-and-flags stub + bundle replay behind its own flag with
+replay-timing specs; the no-bundle fallback generated from the TypeScript
+source.
 
 ### 7.8 GPT correctness fixes carried with the restructure
 
-- Restore the #922 orphan-slot recovery and `updateRender` enrichment (verify
-  against open PR #997; land whichever is canonical).
-- `changeCorrelator: false` on TS-initiated refreshes; correlator behavior
-  becomes a documented, configurable decision.
+- **Unconditional early GPT event subscription:** the `slotRenderEnded`
+  (and `slotRequested`) listeners register on the command queue at install,
+  no longer gated behind `!ts.servicesEnabled` (`gpt/index.ts:1017`) — G4a
+  cannot work on bootstrap-first pages otherwise. Recording is idempotent so
+  double-registration cannot double-count.
+- Restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery.
+- `changeCorrelator: false` on TS-initiated refreshes (configurable).
 - `enableSingleRequest()` only when GPT services are not already enabled.
-- Ambiguous responsive resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}`
-  alongside its console warning.
+- Ambiguous responsive resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}`.

-| `core/global.d.ts` (`pbjs: TsjsApi`) | real Prebid types; `TsjsApi` split into public API vs internal coordination state                                  |
+As revision 3 (gpt/prebid splits, script-guard consolidation, trace model/UI
+split, `global.d.ts` fix).
 
 ### 7.10 Performance
 
-Client-side speedups with enforced budgets: smaller synchronous bundle
-(script-guard consolidation, single APS module via the ABI, dead-code
-deletion, trace-overlay extraction); slot resolution once per navigation;
-bounded telemetered waits. Budgets, concretely: per-bundle raw/gzip/Brotli
-bytes for the exact ordered module vector of the reference config, compared
-to a checked-in baseline with **+5% tolerance**; the
-bids-script-to-first-`display()` browser assertion runs **20 iterations** and
-gates on **p90**. Server-side: precompute bundle bytes + hash per ordered
-module vector (deploy/config-time), benchmark server CPU/heap before/after.
+Budgets tightened per review: per-bundle raw/gzip/Brotli for the exact
+ordered module vector vs a checked-in baseline, **+5% byte tolerance**;
+browser timing assertion (bids-script-to-first-`display()`) on a **pinned CI
+runner class and pinned browser version**, **5 warm-up runs discarded, 50
+measured samples, gate on p90 with +10% latency tolerance**; server bench
+(precomputed concatenation) gates CPU and heap at **±10% vs baseline** with
+pinned tool versions. Precompute lands in Phase 0 with asset identity (G5).
 
 ### 7.11 Toolchain and dependency currency
 
-- **TypeScript:** the manifest floor is `^5.5.4` but the lockfile already
-  resolves **5.9.3** (`package-lock.json`), so the code compiles on 5.9 today.
-  Action: raise the manifest floor to the resolved 5.9 line (making the floor
-  honest), then evaluate the next major as its own gated PR; adopt
-  `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
-  `verbatimModuleSyntax`.
-- **Dev toolchain to latest stable** (eslint + plugins, prettier, jsdom,
-  `@playwright/test`, `@types/node` aligned to the pinned Node), each bump its
-  own mechanical CI-gated PR with changelog review — this library monkeypatches
-  `fetch`, `sendBeacon`, and DOM prototypes, so jsdom/Playwright behavior
-  changes are real risks.
-- **`prebid.js` is excluded from casual bumps** (runtime Prebid is the
-  manifest-locked external R2 bundle); the npm pin and deployed bundle version
-  stay documented together.
-- **Standing policy:** monthly dependency review; no migration phase starts
-  more than one minor behind latest stable.
+As revision 3 (review-accepted): raise the TypeScript floor to the resolved
+5.9 line, then evaluate the next major separately; strictness flags on; dev
+toolchain bumps as individual CI-gated PRs; `prebid.js` excluded from casual
+bumps; monthly review policy.

 ## 8. Migration plan
 
-Ordered so every phase's prerequisites precede it (the review's required
-order). Every phase ships behind a feature flag; shared canary criteria: no
-increase in `render_fail` rate beyond **+0.5% absolute** on canary traffic
-over 24 h, no new console errors in the browser-spec run, rollback = flag off
-(phases 0–2 are additive; later phases keep dual paths until their gate).
-
-- **Phase 0 — Asset identity, contracts, toolchain.** Path-based immutable
-  asset identity + manifest retention + rolling-deploy tests (G5) — this lands
-  **before** anything makes ABI compatibility load-bearing. Toolchain floors
-  (7.11). Contracts G1–G5 recorded as code-adjacent docs. Delete the dead
-  expando writes. Server drop-reason surfacing (5.5) — server-only, no client
-  dependency.
-- **Phase 1 — Kernel ABI and sessions.** Minimal kernel in `tsjs-core`
-  publishing the versioned registry (G3); `RuntimeSession` /
-  `NavigationSession` scopes (7.6); context-provider fix as the ABI proof;
-  install manifest injection.
-- **Phase 2 — Trace and beacon.** Server correlation nonce for `nav_gen 0` +
-  page-bids trace echo (G1); beacon service on the Phase-1 kernel; ingest
-  route in all four adapters (5.3); diagnostic capability; `ts_client_events`
-  datasource.
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Wire-schema crate + corpus (6.7); mediation
-  helper + opt-in merge (6.1); render token (6.4); unconditional versioned
-  renderer route + two-stage ack (6.6, G4b); bridge hardening (6.8); GPT
-  request-cycle protocol + render state machine + awaitable renderer +
-  `nurl`/`burl` split (G4a–G4d); the opt-in fallback (G4e); restore #922/#997
-  attribution; correlator and SRA fixes (7.8). APS renders after this phase
-  wherever GAM line items and configuration permit.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint, plugin lifecycle
-  completion, adapters, full slot registry, messaging module, namespace
-  migration window (7.4), server bundle precompute (7.10).
-- **Phase 5 — Decomposition.** File splits (7.9), script-guard consolidation,
-  bootstrap shrink behind its own flag with replay-timing specs (7.7), end of
-  the public-global compatibility window (gated per 7.4).
+Each phase ships behind a feature flag with **phase-specific gates** (the
+render-fail canary cannot evaluate phases that predate the metric):
+
+- **Phase 0 — Asset identity, contracts, toolchain.** Two-stage artifact
+  publishing (shared immutable storage) + path-based identity + ordered-vector
+  precompute + rolling-deploy tests in both directions + legacy-URL test;
+  toolchain floors; contracts G1–G5 as code-adjacent docs; delete dead expando
+  writes; server drop-reason surfacing.
+  _Gate:_ zero unexpected `410`s and zero legacy-URL breakage on canary; asset
+  hit/miss counters nominal.
+- **Phase 1 — Kernel ABI, sessions, minimal messaging, minimal cycle
+  registry.** Versioned registry with `(major, minor)` semantics;
+  `RuntimeSession`/`NavigationSession`; install manifest; the minimal
+  messaging module (7.5) and the cycle-aware slot-record core (G4a's queue)
+  land here so Phase 3 has its dependencies; unconditional early GPT
+  subscriptions (7.8).
+  _Gate:_ ABI install-success counters clean; zero `abi_mismatch` on canary;
+  no listener regression in browser specs.
+- **Phase 2 — Trace and beacon.** Server-minted initial trace + page-bids
+  `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` echo + capability issuance (G1, 5.3); beacon service;
+  four-adapter ingest; `ts_client_events`.
+  _Gate:_ ingest acceptance/drop/abuse counters nominal; trace join rate on
+  sink-backed canary ≥ 95% of sampled traces.
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Wire-schema crate + corpus; mediation helper +
+  opt-in merge; render token; unconditional versioned renderer route +
+  two-stage ack; bridge hardening; request-cycle protocol + render state
+  machine + awaitable renderer + scoped notifications (G4a–G4d); the opt-in
+  fallback (G4e); restore #922/#997; correlator and SRA fixes.
+  _Gate:_ `render_fail` rate within +0.5% absolute of pre-flag baseline over
+  24 h on canary; fill/latency/billing volume deltas within agreed bounds
+  (billing measured against GAM/server-side reporting, not the beacon);
+  release-gating real-GAM overlap test green.
+- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint; plugin lifecycle
+  completion; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
+  namespace window (7.4).
+  _Gate:_ boundary lint zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests green.
+- **Phase 5 — Decomposition.** File splits; script-guard consolidation;
+  bootstrap shrink (own flag, replay-timing specs); compatibility-window
+  close (adoption-gated).
+  _Gate:_ bundle budgets and timing assertions hold; adoption gate met before
+  any removal.

 ## 10. Alternatives considered
 
-1. **Keep patching APS point-failures without telemetry.** Rejected: three
-   consecutive correct fixes have not produced ads.
-2. **Direct-render APS always (skip GAM/PUC).** Changes GAM reporting/pacing
-   semantics unilaterally; kept as the opt-in, `gam_empty`-gated fallback.
-3. **Single module graph / shared chunks instead of the registration ABI.**
-   Cleaner long-term; changes the delivery pipeline now; successor option
-   behind the same ABI surface.
-4. **Full library rewrite in one branch.** Rejected: thin browser-spec safety
-   net in exactly the changing areas.
-5. **Drop the ES5 bootstrap entirely.** Loses the pinned "ads render if the
-   bundle fails" guarantee; generated fallback keeps it.
-6. **Timeout-triggered fallback rendering.** Rejected (G4e): GPT requests
-   cannot be cancelled, so timeout rendering races late fills; only an
-   attributed terminal empty event may trigger rendering.
+Unchanged from revision 3 (patching without telemetry; always-direct-render;
+single module graph; big-bang rewrite; dropping the bootstrap;
+timeout-triggered fallback — all rejected for the recorded reasons).
 
 ## 11. Risks
 
-- **Merge strategy misconfiguration:** mitigated by `mediator_only` default,
-  the selection report, omitted-default serialization.
-- **Beacon abuse/volume:** pre-parse caps, origin checks, per-adapter rate
-  limiting, sticky sampling, closed enums, capability-gated diagnostics.
-- **ABI freeze risk:** versioned from day one; mixed-version delivery tested.
-- **Ack protocol adds a message round-trip before `burl`:** bounded by the
-  existing renderer timeout; the `billed_then_failed` label measures the
-  policy.
-- **Bootstrap replay:** own flag, replay-timing specs, staged rollout.
-- **Schema generation:** checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.
+Revision 3's list, plus: **shared-storage dependency for assets** (stage-1
+publish becomes a deploy prerequisite; mitigated by the embedded fast path
+for the current vector and deploy-time verification that storage matches the
+embedded hashes); **notification-trigger semantics** are now a published
+contract for PBS-path demand — changing them later is a breaking change for
+SSP reporting expectations.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-1. APS creatives render on a reference page in each configured flow (SSAT,
-   Prebid adapter, page-bids), hermetically in CI and via the staged smoke
-   suite.
+1. APS creatives render on a reference page in each configured flow,

 2. Every failure point in section 2 maps to a distinct observable signal;

 4. No file in `src/` exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or

-5. Trace counts are per-impression; orphaned-slot recovery has a non-vacuous

-7. Bundle budgets (raw/gzip/Brotli, +5% tolerance vs baseline) and the p90

Subject: [PATCH 209/494] Rewrite design spec for the coordinated hard-cutover
 policy

Revision 5 adopts the hard-cutover release model (exact release ids,
config format_version, embedded-only artifacts with 410 on unknown
hashes, final namespace at cutover, switch-and-purge runbook) and
removes the N/N-1 machinery. It also makes the document fully
self-contained and addresses the fourth review round: physical
request-cycle protocol opened by slotRequested with intent separation,
RuntimeSession-owned cycle state with quarantine and drain-by-match,
propagation-stopping bridge order that preserves the stolen-capability
defense, per-flow nurl bind definitions, a complete non-GPT direct
/auction lifecycle, a fully inlined mediation algorithm with server-
minted candidate ids and deterministic total ordering, a specified
signed trace authorization (v1.kid.exp.mode.sig, HMAC-SHA-256, key
rotation, server-decided sampling), wire events covering every G4c
observation with concrete Tinybird schemas and bid_drop rows, sink
dedup keys and numeric rate-limit bounds, early isolated internal
routes on all adapters, a CSP rollout that cannot false-pass with both
report media types and three-browser coverage, transactional plugin
install with reverse-order unwind, the final global-surface table,
refresh_gen-scoped token registries with capacity rules, structured
dimension drops, generated inline validators, executable phase gates
with control cohorts, and the expanded acceptance matrix with the
section-2 failure-to-signal mapping.

 # APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Architecture — Design
 
-- **Status:** revision 4 — reworked after the third design review round.
+- **Status:** revision 5 — rewritten for the coordinated hard-cutover policy
+  adopted in the fourth review round, and made fully self-contained (no
+  contract is defined by reference to an earlier revision).
 - **Date:** 2026-08-04
-- **Baseline:** `rc/july` @ `541298695` — the full merged state (everything
-  merged from `main` plus every rc-only merge), not just the delta pending
-  against `main`.
-- **Inputs:** three code audits performed against this baseline; design
-  reviews of revisions 1–3; open issues #926, #941, #944, #962, #964, #977,
-  #983, #989, #993; open PR #997.
-- **Terminology:** the per-refresh counter is `refresh_gen` everywhere. The
-  event previously named `render_confirmed` is removed (see G4c).

+
+## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
+
+This design targets a **single coordinated release**. Explicitly:
+
+- Server, TSJS bundles, config format, and page HTML ship together as one
+  release with one **release id** (`release_id`: the git tag / build hash).
+- **No N/N−1 support.** Old pages, old bundles, old config blobs, old
+  globals, and old URLs may stop working at cutover. In-flight clients (pages
+  loaded before the switch) may fail; this is accepted and stated, not
+  mitigated.
+- **Exact release matching only.** The kernel, every service, every plugin,
+  and the install manifest carry the same `release_id`; any mismatch is a
+  refusal, never a negotiation. There are no version ranges.
+- **Config format version:** the config blob gains a top-level
+  `format_version`; the binary rejects any other value. No
+  omit-default-for-rollback serialization rules; rollback means redeploying
+  the previous release with its own config.
+- **Assets:** binaries embed only their own release's artifacts. Hashed
+  pathnames are kept **for cache identity only** (correct caching and
+  dedup), not for retention: an unknown hash answers `410 Gone`,
+  `Cache-Control: no-store`. No shared artifact store — no separate
+  requirement for one was established.
+- **Cutover runbook (normative):** (1) deploy the release to all instances
+  dark (flagged off); (2) verify instance health and config
+  `format_version`; (3) switch traffic atomically at the routing/CDN layer;
+  (4) purge the CDN of prior HTML and assets; (5) monitor the Phase gates
+  (§8); rollback = switch traffic back to the previous release and re-purge.
+
+Everything that revisions 3–4 built for mixed-version tolerance is removed:
+no ABI version ranges, no retained-artifact storage, no legacy query-hash
+sunset, no dual-name global window, no adoption gates.
 
 ## 1. Problem statement
 
-APS (Amazon Publisher Services) demand is fully integrated server-side — the
-edge server runs the APS OpenRTB auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer
-descriptor to the page — yet APS creatives still do not appear for real users.
-Every previous fix (the `bid.meta` carrier, the decoupled prebid shim, the
-`hb_adid` fallback) addressed a real defect, and APS still does not render.
-That pattern is itself the finding: the APS pipeline has **multiple independent
-failure points, most of which fail silently**, and the client library has **no
-way to tell the server (or the operator) which one fired**.
-
-At the same time, the TSJS client library has grown organically to 56 files /
-~11,900 lines with two ~1,700-line monoliths, duplicated logic maintained by
-hand in two languages, inverted layering, and roughly one hundred `catch`
-blocks that discard failures. The APS outage and the library's shape are the
-same problem seen from two sides.
+APS demand is fully integrated server-side — the edge runs the APS OpenRTB
+auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer descriptor to the page — yet
+APS creatives do not appear for real users. Serial single-cause fixes (the
+`bid.meta` carrier, the decoupled prebid shim, the `hb_adid` fallback) each
+survived review and still did not produce ads. That pattern is the finding:
+the APS pipeline has **multiple independent failure points, most of which
+fail silently**, and the client cannot tell the server which one fired.
 
-This design covers both: (a) the specific fixes that make APS render, and (b)
-the target architecture that makes TSJS a clean, resilient library.
+The TSJS library (56 files, ~11,900 lines, two ~1,700-line monoliths,
+duplicated ES5/TS logic, inverted layering, ~100 error-swallowing `catch`
+blocks) is the same problem structurally. This design fixes APS delivery and
+rebuilds TSJS so the next integration cannot reproduce this failure class.
 
 ### Non-goals
 
 - No change to the APS OpenRTB endpoint contract or Amazon-side configuration
-  (including its deliberate absence of `nurl`/`burl` — see G4d).
-- No rewrite of Prebid.js integration strategy (the decoupled shim stays).
-- No behavior change for publishers whose pages work today. Public-surface
-  migrations happen behind a bounded compatibility window (7.4), never by
-  immediate removal.
-

-## 2. Why APS still does not render — the evidence
-
-The audit traced all four delivery flows: (a) SSAT server-side ad template via
-`window.tsjs.bids`, (b) GAM + client-side `trustedServer` Prebid adapter, (c)
-SPA `/_ts/page-bids` re-auction, (d) direct `/auction` via `tsjs.requestAds`.
-Only flow (d) — the demo path nobody runs in production — can render an APS
-descriptor without GAM's cooperation.

-| A1  | **A configured `[auction].mediator` discards every direct-provider bid.** Winners come exclusively from the mediator response; APS bids (with their renderers) are used only as mediator input and reporting. APS shows `status: success, bid_count: N` yet never wins a slot. | `orchestrator.rs:412-431`                        |
-| A2  | **`allow_script_creatives` defaults to `false`**, dropping every `tagtype: "script"` APS bid — a large share of TAM demand. The drop is counted but invisible (see A4).                                                                                                        | `aps.rs:141-143`, `:773-778`                     |
-| A3  | **Strict per-bid gates**: exact `w`×`h` membership in the slot's configured formats, required `ext.creativeurl`, and any top-level `contextual` key rejects the entire response.                                                                                               | `aps.rs:657-668`, `:745-778`, `:838-846`         |
-| A4  | **Drop reasons never reach an operator on the production paths.** `drop_reasons` counters surface only in `/auction` `ext.orchestrator`; the SSAT and page-bids paths discard them, server logs do not carry them, and the `ts-debug` comment allowlist excludes them.         | `publisher.rs:1866-1875`, `telemetry.rs:808-826` |

-| B1  | **GAM key-value values are capped at 40 characters.** The new fallback emits the raw APS OpenRTB bid `id` (a long opaque string) as `hb_adid`. If GAM truncates or rejects it, `%%PATTERN:hb_adid%%` comes back different, the bridge's equality check fails, and it bails **with no log**. | `publisher.rs:3366-3372`, `gpt/index.ts:1613` |
-| B2  | **Two id universes for the same bid.** SSAT keys the bridge on the APS bid id; the client-side Prebid adapter keys on Prebid's generated `adId`.

-| C1  | **If GAM never serves the Prebid Universal Creative, nothing renders and nothing is recorded.** The renderer descriptor sits unused in `window.tsjs.bids`; `renderApsCreative` is reachable only from the unused flow (d).  | `gpt/index.ts:854-1107`, `core/request.ts:59`             |
-| C2  | **A renderer endpoint that never answers is a silent 10-second death.** The sandboxed iframe cannot read an HTTP status from its opaque origin; a 404/401/misrouted document simply never posts `renderer-ready`.           | `aps.rs:1188-1245`, `aps/render.ts:384-404`               |
-| C3  | **SafeFrame breaks slot attribution.** The bridge resolves a message source by walking top-document iframes under the slot div; a nested SafeFrame creative window is invisible to that walk, so the bridge bails silently. | `gpt/index.ts:157-183`, `:1599-1600`                      |
-| C4  | **Three hand-maintained copies of the descriptor schema** (Rust struct, TS validator, inline renderer-document validator) with exact-key rejection: any server-side field addition instantly blanks every APS ad.           | `types.rs:188-211`, `aps/render.ts:60-93`, `aps.rs:65-73` |
-| C5  | **A dead duplicate renderer branch in the bridge** contains the debug log and dedup logic people would look for while debugging; it can never execute.                                                                      | `gpt/index.ts:1643-1674`                                  |
-| C6  | **The renderer CSP may kill creatives after success is reported** (`object-src`, workers, `blob:`/`data:` frames are blocked; `renderer-ready` fires before the creative actually paints).                                  | `aps.rs:49`                                               |
-| C7  | **The renderer branches record nothing**: no `recordRender`, no win/billing beacons, no `stampCreativeTrace` — an APS win looks "never rendered" in every trace whether or not it painted.                                  | `gpt/index.ts:1558-1632`                                  |
-
-### 2.4 Observability: the common factor
-
-There is **zero client→server reporting**. Server telemetry marks `is_win=1`
-at auction time and goes quiet; a bid that never painted is byte-identical to
-one that painted perfectly. Client-side evidence dies with the tab.

+
+Flows: (a) SSAT via `window.tsjs.bids`; (b) GAM + client `trustedServer`
+Prebid adapter; (c) SPA `/_ts/page-bids`; (d) direct `/auction`
+`tsjs.requestAds`. Only (d) — unused in production — renders an APS
+descriptor without GAM.

 ## 3. The GPT reality this design must respect
 
-1. **Bootstrap-first hybrid:** the server injects a 495-line ES5
-   `gpt_bootstrap.js` before the bundle; shared monkeypatch sentinels mean the
-   bundle's handoff and initial-load code is dead in production.
-2. **The #922 merge loss:** orphan-slot recovery and `updateRender` enrichment
-   are gone (`0dc9b19a9`); `__tsRenderGeneration`/`__tsRenderBid` are dead
-   writes; bridge-served impressions double-count. PR #997 appears to be the
-   reworked replacement.
-3. **TS refreshes never pass `changeCorrelator: false`.**
-4. **`enableSingleRequest()` is called blind** after the publisher's own
-   `enableServices()` has almost always run.
-5. Responsive resolution is a DOM-element-selection ladder; ambiguity silently
-   skips the slot.
-6. Three independent wrappers on `pubads().refresh` coordinate via
-   window-global booleans.
-7. **GPT offers no request cancellation** (`gpt/index.ts:1080`), and its event
-   contract identifies only the slot: Google documents no per-refresh
-   identifier and no completion-order guarantee for overlapping requests, and
-   `slotRenderEnded` means creative code was injected, not that its resources
-   loaded. Publisher code can refresh an adopted slot while a TS cycle is
-   pending. Any attribution scheme must survive all of that (G4a).
-8. **The bundle's `slotRenderEnded` registration is gated behind
-   `!ts.servicesEnabled`** (`gpt/index.ts:1017`), so bootstrap-first or
-   services-enabled pages can miss the listener entirely — G4a requires
-   unconditional early subscription.

+
+## 4. Design gates
 
 ### G1 — Trace identity and correlation
 
-**The client-visible auction id must never be ingested** (EC-derived:
-`publisher.rs:3237`). **Initial-HTML auction telemetry is emitted before page
-JavaScript exists** (`telemetry.rs:148`, `publisher.rs:2452`), so correlation
-is minted by whoever acts first:
-
-- **Initial navigation (`nav_gen = 0`):** the server mints `trace_id`
-  (128-bit CSPRNG, `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), writes it into that response's auction
-  telemetry rows at emit time (a new nullable `trace_id` column on the
-  existing auction datasource; the independent telemetry `auction_id` UUID
-  remains and remains separate), and injects it into the page as a `tsjs`
-  boot field with the sampling decision and, when the tester gate is active,
-  the diagnostic capability (5.3).
-- **Cache-privacy invariant:** a trace or capability is injected **only** into
-  responses that ran a per-request auction, and any trace-bearing HTML MUST be
-  shared-cache-ineligible: `Cache-Control: private, no-store` and no
-  validators that could revalidate a shared copy. This is enforced by
-  construction (the injection site is the auction-bearing render path) and by
-  test. A shared-cached page would have no per-visitor auction to correlate
-  anyway; the invariant makes that alignment explicit.
-- **SPA navigations (`nav_gen > 0`):** `/_ts/page-bids` **stays GET** (it is
-  GET in `publisher.rs:3815` and the client issues GET at
-  `gpt/index.ts:1152`; a browser GET cannot carry a body). The client mints
-  the `trace_id` and sends it in a validated **`X-TSJS-Trace-Id`** request
-  header — the request already carries a non-simple TSJS header, so CORS
-  preflight behavior is unchanged. The server records it contemporaneously in
-  that auction's telemetry rows and the JSON response **echoes the accepted
-  trace id** and returns a capability bound to it when the tester gate is
-  active.
-- **Envelope:** every event carries
-  `{trace_id, sampled, nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq}`; `seq` is per-trace
-  monotonic.
-- **Sampling is trace-sticky** (decided once per trace; server-decided for
-  `nav_gen 0`, client-decided from the injected rate afterwards). Transport is
-  best-effort, so a sampled trace may still arrive partial; partiality is
-  detectable via `seq` gaps and is not treated as a contract violation.

-### G2 — Render identity: `hb_adid`, the APS token, and the PBS Cache UUID
-
-Unchanged from revision 3 (review-accepted): cache-backed bids keep the cache
-UUID as `hb_adid` byte-for-byte; renderer-only bids get a server-minted token
-`^[a-z0-9]{12}$` (CSPRNG; in-auction collision retry; cross-auction uniqueness
-probabilistic with the birthday bound documented; harmless via per-
-`(trace_id, nav_gen)` registry scoping); TTL 15 minutes; one-time consumption;
-client-Prebid keeps Prebid's `adId`; non-APS cache-path regression tests.
-
-### G3 — Runtime ABI: how code shares state under the IIFE build
+The client-visible auction id is EC-derived (`publisher.rs:3237`) and is
+never ingested. Initial-HTML auction telemetry is emitted before page JS
+exists (`telemetry.rs:148`, `publisher.rs:2452`), so correlation is minted by
+whoever acts first:
+
+- **Initial navigation (`nav_gen 0`):** the server mints `trace_id` (128-bit
+  CSPRNG, `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), writes it into that response's auction rows
+  (§5.6 schema), and injects it into `tsjs.boot` with a **signed trace
+  authorization** (§5.3). It is never `AuctionRequest.id`.
+- **Cache privacy invariant:** traces/authorizations are injected only into
+  responses that ran a per-request auction; such HTML is
+  `Cache-Control: private, no-store` with no validators. Enforced by
+  construction and by test.
+- **SPA navigations:** `/_ts/page-bids` stays GET; the client mints
+  `trace_id` and sends it in a validated `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` header (the
+  request already carries a non-simple TSJS header). The server records it in
+  that auction's rows; the JSON response echoes the accepted trace and
+  returns its signed authorization.
+- **Envelope:** every event carries `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq}` inside a
+  per-trace group `{trace_id, auth, events[]}` (§5.1). `seq` is per-trace
+  monotonic. Transport is best-effort: gaps (loss) and duplicates
+  (fetch/pagehide races) are both expected; §5.5 defines dedup.
+- **Sampling is server-decided for every trace** — initial via boot, SPA via
+  the page-bids response — and carried **inside the signed authorization**
+  (§5.3 `mode`). The client never asserts its own sampling; an unsigned or
+  missing authorization means the trace group is rejected at ingest.
+
+### G2 — Render identity
+
+- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = the PBS Cache UUID, byte-for-byte as today
+  (`publisher.rs:3355`; the PUC fetches `?uuid=<hb_adid>`,
+  `publisher.rs:3450`, `gpt/index.ts:1700`). Markup bids without cache ids:
+  today's fallback chain unchanged.
+- **Renderer-only bids: `hb_adid` = a server-minted render token**,
+  `^[a-z0-9]{12}$` exactly, CSPRNG, collision-retried within the minting
+  auction. Cross-auction uniqueness is probabilistic (36¹² ≈ 4.7×10¹⁸;
+  birthday-bound negligible at realistic volumes) and made harmless by
+  registry scoping.
+- **Registry scope and bounds:** the client bridge registry keys tokens by
+  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen)` — refresh auctions within one
+  navigation cannot collide, closing the revision-4 gap. Capacity: 64 live
+  entries per navigation; at capacity a new registration is refused with
+  disposition `registry_full`; unexpired entries are evicted only by
+  navigation disposal. Token TTL 15 minutes; one-time consumption.
+- The client-Prebid path keeps Prebid's generated `adId`; both paths register
+  into the one registry keyed by whichever id that path observes.
+- Regression tests: non-APS cache-backed bids byte-identical.
+
+### G3 — Runtime ABI under the IIFE build (exact-release model)
 
 IIFE-per-bundle with inlined imports (`build-all.mjs:46`, `bundle.rs:23`)
-means module imports never share state across bundles (live proof:
+means imports never share state across bundles (live defect:
 `core/context.ts:11` vs `permutive/index.ts:102`).
 
-Contract — a versioned registration ABI on `window.tsjs._internal`:
-
-- Kernel ships only in `tsjs-core`, publishes
-  `tsjs._internal = { abi: 1, registry }` once (window sentinel). The kernel
-  constructs and registers core service instances during boot; integrations
-  register integration-scoped services during `install()`.
-- **Version semantics (settling the mixed-version gap):** every service
-  registers with `(major, minor)`. `registry.get(name, {major, minMinor})`
-  succeeds iff an implementation with the same `major` and `minor ≥ minMinor`
-  is registered. The install manifest's plugin versions are **ranges with the
-  same semantics** (required major, minimum minor), not exact pins.
-  An incompatible service registration is **quarantined** — recorded, not
-  installed — and surfaced as `abi_mismatch`; an incompatible plugin as
-  `bundle_partial`. **First-wins applies only among compatible
-  registrations.** The old-deferred-bundle + new-core scenario therefore has a
-  deterministic verdict: the old plugin either satisfies the manifest range
-  and runs, or is quarantined loudly.
-- Stateful services only via the registry at call time; stateless helpers may
-  be imported and inlined. Single-module-graph builds remain the successor
-  option behind the same surface.
+- The kernel ships only in `tsjs-core`, publishes
+  `tsjs._internal = { release_id, registry }` once (window sentinel), and
+  **freezes** `_internal` after boot. The kernel constructs and registers
+  core services (event bus, beacon queue, sessions, slot registry, render
+  state machine) during boot; integrations register integration-scoped
+  services during `install()`.
+- **Exact release matching:** every service and plugin registration carries
+  `release_id`; `registry.get(name)` succeeds only when the registrant's
+  `release_id` equals the kernel's. A mismatch quarantines the registration
+  and emits `abi_mismatch` (service) / `bundle_partial` (plugin) with a
+  console error. No ranges, no minors, no first-wins tiers — under §0 a
+  mismatch is a deployment error to surface, not tolerate.
+- Stateful access only through the registry at call time; stateless helpers
+  may be imported and inlined. Single-module-graph builds remain the
+  recorded successor option behind the same surface.
 
 ### G4 — Render lifecycle
 
-**G4a — Request-cycle protocol (no ordering assumptions).** GPT documents no
-per-refresh identity and no completion-order guarantee, so the protocol
-assumes neither:
-
-- Every observable request initiation is classified `ts | publisher`: TS's own
-  `display()`/`refresh()` calls open TS cycles; the wrapped publisher
-  entry-points and `slotRequested` events that match no TS cycle are recorded
-  as publisher-initiated.
-- **TS serializes itself to at most one outstanding cycle per slot** — a new
-  TS refresh for a slot with a pending cycle waits or supersedes explicitly;
-  it is never concurrently pending.
-- With ≤1 TS cycle outstanding, a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff no
-  untracked or publisher-initiated request overlaps it. **Any overlap marks
-  the slot `cycle_unattributable` and fails closed** (no fallback, no state
-  transition, console warning + disposition).
-- `slotRenderEnded` is treated as "creative code injected", not "resources
-  loaded" — it can confirm delivery, never paint.
-- The deterministic PUC/message harness exercises the protocol in CI, and a
-  **release-gating real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS
-  cycle) validates the contract against actual GPT, since a FIFO-assuming
-  stub proves nothing.
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement path.** Unchanged from revision 3 (review-accepted):
-per-attempt CSPRNG nonce in the bridge response; the dynamic renderer posts
-versioned accepted/failed messages to the kernel; the kernel validates source
-ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` before any transition or
-callback; pinned for SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame flows.
-
-**G4c — Honest observations, `render_confirmed` removed.** The inline-adm
-frames are sandboxed `srcdoc` documents with `allow-same-origin` deliberately
-omitted (`gpt/index.ts:358`) — their origins are opaque, so revision 3's
-"same-origin observable" premise was false. The event is removed entirely.
-The taxonomy is now: `gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `renderer_document_loaded`,
-`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded` (the iframe `load`
-event for TS-written adm frames — document delivery, not paint). **Every
-render path terminates at `render_accepted`** (authenticated per G4b where
-the renderer protocol exists; `adm_document_loaded` for adm frames). No
-observation claims paint. A future trusted completion acknowledgement (open
-question 6) may reintroduce a confirmed state under a new name.
-
-**G4d — Win/billing notifications, scoped to paths that have them.** APS
-**intentionally carries neither** `nurl` nor `burl` (`aps.rs:812` sets both
-`None`; the minimized AAX envelope excludes notifications; the integration
-guide documents that generic win/billing beacons are not fired for APS). APS
-billing runs entirely inside the Amazon runner lifecycle, and this design
-does not change the APS wire contract.
-
-For bid paths that do carry the URLs (PBS and other OpenRTB providers):
-
-- **Trigger semantics, published explicitly:** `nurl` fires when the render
-  attempt binds the bid to a cycle (Trusted Server's selection produced the
-  candidate GAM will render — the earliest point at which "win" is
-  meaningful for this pipeline); `burl` fires at the attempt's
-  `render_accepted`. Both are **attempt-scoped**, keyed by
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, hb_adid)` as the idempotency key —
-  fired at most once per attempt, not page-wide.
-- **Owner and mechanics:** the client render pipeline owns firing (as today,
-  `gpt/index.ts:459`), via `sendBeacon`/`no-cors fetch`, no retries (a beacon
-  either queues or is lost; retrying risks double-billing).
-- Terminal failure after acceptance is labeled `billed_then_failed`; no
-  un-firing.
-
-**G4e — Fallback trigger.** The opt-in fallback
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`) renders only after a
-**terminal `gam_empty` unambiguously attributed to a TS-initiated cycle**
-(G4a). Timeouts are diagnostics-only and never render. Revision 3 disabled
-fallback for adopted slots entirely, which — as the review noted — excludes
-the common production path (pre-existing publisher slots are adopted and
-refreshed, `gpt/index.ts:925`). Revised: **ownership does not gate the
-fallback; attribution does.** An adopted slot whose attributed TS cycle ends
-in `gam_empty` may fall back; any publisher-initiated or unattributable cycle
-never triggers it. The success criteria and browser specs cover the adopted
-case explicitly.
-
-### G5 — Deployment contracts
-
-- **Config rollback:** new config fields are default-valued and omitted from
-  serialization at defaults. **Rollback runbook rule:** after an operator has
-  opted into a new field, rolling the binary back requires restoring the
-  default and pushing the default-compatible blob first (this mirrors the
-  project's existing rollback guidance).
-- **Asset identity and the artifact source (settling "not realizable"):**
-  hash in the pathname; and artifacts are **published to shared immutable
-  platform storage (KV/config store) as deploy stage 1, before any HTML
-  references them** — binaries serve the current vector from embedded bytes
-  (fast path) and everything else by hash lookup in shared storage. This
-  answers all four skew cases: new HTML hash `B` reaching an old instance
-  (lookup serves `B` from storage), a miss for retained `A` after only `B` is
-  embedded (lookup), already-issued legacy query-hash URLs (the legacy path
-  keeps serving current bytes with short-TTL, non-immutable caching through a
-  documented sunset), and renderer `/v2` reaching a `/v1`-era instance
-  (versioned renderer documents are published to the same storage in
-  stage 1). Two-stage deployment is the contract: **stage 1 publish
-  artifacts, stage 2 roll binaries/HTML.** Both rolling directions and the
-  legacy URL are tested. Retention: ≥ 7 days, which must exceed the HTML
-  cache lifetime — itself now bounded by contract (auction-bearing HTML is
-  `no-store` per G1; any cacheable non-auction HTML referencing tsjs sets
-  `max-age ≤ 300`). `Cache-Control: immutable` only on exact hash matches;
-  unknown hashes → `410 Gone`, `no-store`. Concatenations are keyed by the
-  **ordered module-ID vector**, precomputed in Phase 0 (which owns asset
-  identity).
-- **Ingest routing:** the beacon route exists in all four adapters as an
-  early, EC-free, filter-free route; only Fastly has a real sink; others
-  accept-count-drop by explicit contract.
-- **Storage:** datasource `ts_client_events`; retention 30 days; production
-  sampling 10%. These are **adopted defaults** (operator-tunable), no longer
-  open questions; the remaining open question is only whether non-Fastly
-  adapters get sinks (OQ5).
-- **Phase gates are phase-specific** (section 8) — the render-fail canary
-  applies only from Phase 3 onward, because earlier phases don't create that
-  metric.

-## 5. Workstream 1 — Observability
-
-### 5.1 Event payload — minimized, grouped per trace
+**G4a — Physical request-cycle protocol.** Two separated notions:
+
+- **Intent:** a TS `display()`/`refresh()` call (or an observed publisher
+  entry) targeting a slot. Intents are classified `ts | publisher` at the
+  wrapped entry points. An intent may produce zero physical requests
+  (initial-load-disabled `display()`; `refresh()` on a never-displayed
+  adopted slot); an intent that produces no `slotRequested` within its bound
+  (2 s) expires with disposition `intent_no_request` — diagnostics only.
+- **Cycle (outstanding physical request):** opened **only by
+  `slotRequested`**, matched to the oldest unexpired TS intent for that slot,
+  else classified publisher-initiated. SRA batching yields one `slotRequested`
+  per slot per batch — one cycle each, all matched to the intents of the
+  batch call. A cycle closes on its `slotRenderEnded` (matched by slot; GPT's
+  `responseIdentifier`, where present, deduplicates responses during drain —
+  it never attributes initiation).
+- **Serialization:** TS keeps at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot. A TS
+  intent arriving while a TS cycle is outstanding **queues** (bounded: 1
+  queued replacement; further intents coalesce into it).
+- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one
+  TS cycle is outstanding for the slot and no publisher-initiated or
+  untracked request overlaps it. Any overlap → the slot enters
+  **quarantine**: `cycle_unattributable`, fail closed (no fallback, no state
+  transition), and the drain rule applies.
+- **Drain/re-arm (supersession and SPA):** physical cycle state lives in the
+  **RuntimeSession-owned slot record**, not the NavigationSession — adopted
+  slots outlive navigations. On navigation or supersession, outstanding
+  cycles are marked stale; their late events are **matched and discarded**
+  with disposition `stale_navigation` (never misattributed); a quarantined or
+  stale slot re-arms only after every outstanding request/render pair has
+  drained (or its 60 s drain bound elapses, which keeps the slot
+  fallback-ineligible for that navigation). Queued TS intents dispatch only
+  after re-arm. A timeout never makes an old event disappear — drain-by-match
+  does.
+- CI exercises the protocol on the deterministic harness; a **release-gating
+  real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS cycle;
+  initial-load-disabled cycle formation) validates it against actual GPT.
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement protocol.** The renderer document currently posts
+"ready" only to its immediate parent (`aps.rs:105`); in the PUC path the
+top-level kernel cannot observe it, and callbacks fire on send
+(`gpt/index.ts:1572`, `:1620`). Contract: the bridge response embeds a
+**per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG acknowledgement nonce**; the renderer document
+posts versioned `{t: "render_accepted" | "render_failed", nonce, reason?}`
+to the top window; the kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8
+walk), nonce equality, token binding, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — all five —
+before any state transition or notification. Pinned by tests for SSAT,
+client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame flows, including stale and replayed
+acks.
+
+**G4c — Honest observations.** Inline-adm frames are sandboxed `srcdoc`
+without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:358`) — opaque origins; geometry
+proves nothing. Observations: `gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`,
+`renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`,
+`adm_document_loaded`. Every path terminates at `render_accepted`
+(authenticated per G4b where the renderer protocol exists;
+`adm_document_loaded` stands in for adm frames). **No observation claims
+paint**; there is no `render_confirmed`. A future trusted completion ack
+(OQ6) may add a new state under a new name.
+
+**G4d — Win/billing notifications.** APS intentionally carries neither
+`nurl` nor `burl` (`aps.rs:812`; the minimized AAX envelope excludes them;
+the integration guide documents no generic APS beacons). APS billing lives in
+the Amazon runner lifecycle; unchanged.
+
+For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB providers), **bind is defined per
+flow and is never selection or targeting** (targeting-only firing is
+explicitly prevented today, `ad_init.test.ts:1824`):
+
+- PUC/GAM flow: bind = an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim.
+- Direct `/auction` flow: bind = validated render start (slot resolved,
+  descriptor/markup validated, attempt created).
+- Fallback flow: bind = attributed `gam_empty`, immediately before the
+  fallback render starts.
+
+`nurl` fires at bind; `burl` at `render_accepted`; both attempt-scoped
+(idempotency key `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, hb_adid)`), fired at
+most once, via `sendBeacon`/`no-cors fetch`, no retries. Terminal failure
+after acceptance → `billed_then_failed` label; no un-firing.
+
+**G4e — Fallback trigger.** Opt-in
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`). Renders only after a
+terminal `gam_empty` **unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle** (G4a) —
+ownership does not gate it (adopted slots are the common path and are
+eligible); publisher-initiated or unattributable cycles never trigger it;
+timeouts never render. The direct renderer is converted to an awaitable API
+with cancellation and terminal reasons before the fallback lands.
+
+**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** The non-GPT path
+(`core/request.ts:52`) gets the same discipline: a `RenderAttempt` keyed
+`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)` where `refresh_gen` increments per
+`requestAds` invocation for the same slot within a navigation; exactly-once
+terminal state; G4b acknowledgement validation; G4d direct-flow bind;
+cancellation and disposal on navigation; the same §5.1 event sequence. "Every
+configured flow" in the success criteria includes this one.
+
+### G5 — Deployment contracts (hard cutover)
+
+- **Config:** top-level `format_version`; exact match required; mismatch is a
+  startup error. No default-omission rollback rules.
+- **Assets:** hash-in-pathname (`/static/tsjs/<hash>/<name>.js`) for cache
+  identity; binaries serve only embedded current-release artifacts; unknown
+  hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`; `Cache-Control: immutable` on exact matches.
+  Concatenations precomputed per **ordered module-ID vector** at build time.
+  The cutover runbook (§0) owns HTML/asset consistency; the CDN purge step is
+  what retires old references.
+- **Internal route isolation (all adapters):** the renderer, client-events,
+  and CSP-report route families (a) dispatch **before** auth, EC setup, and
+  publisher/integration filters (today the renderer can traverse EC setup and
+  pre-route filters, `app.rs:709` in the Fastly adapter); (b) reserve **all
+  methods and all version prefixes** locally — unsupported method →
+  deterministic `405` with `Allow` and `no-store`; unknown version → `404`
+  `no-store`; never the publisher fall-through some adapters use today
+  (`adapter-spin app.rs:804`); (c) never forward bodies, cookies, or
+  authorization headers to publisher origins; (d) compare origins as
+  normalized scheme + host + port, not host-only.
+- **Ingest routing:** client-events in all four adapters; Fastly has the real
+  sink; others accept-count-drop by contract (OQ5).
+- **Storage:** §5.6 schemas deploy and validate **before** any writer
+  enables.

 ### 5.2 Transport
 
-`fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` primary. The `pagehide`
-fallback is `navigator.sendBeacon(url, new Blob([json], {type:
-"application/json"}))` — the Blob type satisfies the ingest media-type
-contract (a bare string would arrive as text); it is credentialed by platform
-design and its `true` means queued, not received; the handler ignores
-credentials either way. Flush on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide` and every 5 s.
-
-### 5.3 Ingest wire contract
-
-- `POST /_ts/client-events` in all four adapters, before auth/EC/filters.
-  `Content-Type: application/json` only; no `Content-Encoding`. Responds
-  `204 Cache-Control: no-store`; never echoes input.
+`fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials: "omit"})` primary; `pagehide`
+fallback `navigator.sendBeacon(url, new Blob([json], {type:
+"application/json"}))`. Flush every 5 s and on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide`.
+**Client queue bound:** 256 events; overflow drops oldest, increments a
+counter, and the final flushed batch carries one `render_fail{...}`-class
+overflow marker event so truncation is visible. Duplicates from
+fetch/pagehide races are expected and handled at the sink (§5.5).
+
+### 5.3 Signed trace authorization
+
+Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`:
+
+- `kid`: key id; **active and previous keys** live in the platform secret
+  store; rotation = introduce new key as active, demote, retire.
+- `exp`: unix epoch seconds; verifier allows ±60 s skew; maximum future
+  15 minutes from issuance.
+- `mode`: `sampled` | `diagnostic`. Sampling is server-decided (G1);
+  diagnostic is a distinct authenticated mode gated by the tester cookie at
+  issuance — not an overloaded "sampling off" bit.
+- `sig`: HMAC-SHA-256 over the **domain-separated, length-prefixed** input
+  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || len(origin) || origin || len(trace_id) || trace_id
+|| len(mode) || mode || u64(exp)`, where `origin` is the externally visible
+  scheme+host+port. Constant-time comparison.
+- Ingest verifies per trace group; a missing key id, expired, future-dated,
+  or invalid signature → that **group** is dropped-and-counted (other groups
+  in the batch survive). An unsigned `sampled` claim does not exist in the
+  wire format, so it cannot be asserted.
+
+### 5.4 Ingest contract
+
+- `POST /_ts/client-events`; `Content-Type: application/json` only; no
+  `Content-Encoding`; responds `204`, `no-store`; never echoes input.
 - Pre-parse limits: body ≤ 16 KiB; ≤ 64 events; strings ≤ 64 chars;
-  `trace_id ^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; integers in `[0, 2³¹)`; width/height in
-  `[0, 8192]`. Violation → drop-and-count with `204`.
-- Same-origin: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present, else `Origin`
-  matching the serving host; **absent both → drop-and-count**.
-- **Rate limiting fails closed for telemetry:** when the limiter denies, or
-  when a portable adapter's best-effort limiter is unavailable or errors, the
-  request is dropped early with `204` (count only, no parse, no sink). Ad
-  delivery is unaffected by construction because this route serves nothing.
-- **Trusted client address, per adapter, concretely:** Fastly — the
-  platform's client IP API; Axum — the rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
-  beyond `trusted_proxy_hops` (a required config value when the beacon is
-  enabled; without it, the socket peer address is used and forwarded headers
-  are ignored); Cloudflare — `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin — the platform client
-  address. Spoofable headers are never trusted beyond the configured hop
-  count.
-- **Diagnostic capability:** server-issued, HMAC over
-  `trace_id + expiry` (≤ 15 min), delivered via the G1 boot field (initial
-  trace) or the page-bids response (SPA traces), echoed per trace group.
-  Signature verification is what switches a trace to unsampled — a public
-  query flag alone never does.
-
-### 5.4 Two modes, honestly separated
-
-- **Production telemetry** (sink-backed deployments only — today Fastly):
-  sticky-sampled (10%). SLO, fully parameterized: a failure mode affecting
-  ≥ 1% of **sampled render attempts** is visible in `ts_client_events` within
-  one hour, evaluated only when the deployment produced ≥ 10,000 sampled
-  render attempts in that hour, with sink ingestion freshness ≤ 5 minutes;
-  sink outages pause the SLO clock and are alarmed separately. Non-sink
-  adapters are explicitly out of SLO scope, and no global gate depends on
-  their beacon data.
-- **Diagnostic mode:** capability-gated, unsampled, full stream + console
-  mirroring — the "one page load names the failing reason" tool.
-
-### 5.5 Server-side drop-reason surfacing
-
-- Bounded structured summary whenever **any** bid is dropped (per-slot reason
-  counts, capped); `drop_reasons` added to auction telemetry rows; drop
-  summary in the initial-HTML `ts-debug` comment; `/_ts/page-bids` gains a
-  tester-gated structured `debug` field.
-- Startup warnings: APS enabled with `allow_script_creatives = false`; direct
-  provider configured alongside a mediator without 6.1's merge strategy.

-## 6. Workstream 2 — APS delivery fixes
-
-### 6.1 Mediation: opt-in merge, `mediator_only` stays the default
-
-As revision 3 (review-accepted), with one tightening: a mediator bid whose id
-the provenance map cannot resolve, **for a slot where the same provider had
-forwarded candidates**, is counted under a dedicated
-`mediator_provenance_unresolved` metric and logged at `warn` — surfacing
-possible self-competition instead of silently treating it as distinct demand.
-Deal priority remains out of scope (the `Bid` model carries no deal identity;
-recorded as follow-up). Currency mismatch remains rejection. One selection
-helper serves both mediation lifecycles, with tests for each.
-
-### 6.2 Dimensions: the contract is "request what you accept"
-
-Exact size membership stays. The fix is visibility plus configuration: the
-drop summary names the rejected size per slot via
-`reason: invalid_dimensions` with bounded numeric `width`/`height` fields
-(closed enum preserved), and documentation gains "sizing your slots for APS."
+  `trace_id ^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; integers in `[0, 2³¹)`.
+- Same-origin: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present, else normalized
+  `Origin` equality; absent both → drop-and-count.
+- **Rate limiting (numeric, fail-closed for telemetry):** token bucket per
+  client address, **10 requests/min, burst 20**; limiter map ≤ 65,536
+  entries, entry TTL 10 min, LRU eviction; limiter unavailable/errored →
+  drop early with `204` (count only). Trusted client address per adapter:
+  Fastly — platform client IP; Axum — rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
+  beyond required `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent config → socket peer only);
+  Cloudflare — `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin — platform client address.
+
+### 5.5 Sink and deduplication
+
+- Stable event key `(publisher, trace_id, seq)`; deduplication at the sink
+  or query layer (Tinybird: latest-write or `GROUP BY` on the key), covering
+  fetch/pagehide double-delivery.
+- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget after dispatch (`tinybird.rs:153`) and
+  cannot observe downstream schema/auth rejection — therefore
+  **datasource-side freshness monitoring is mandatory** (§8 gates alarm on
+  ingestion lag and row-rejection metrics from the datasource side).
+
+### 5.6 Physical schemas (deployed before writers)
+
+- **New datasource `ts_client_events`** (flattened rows):
+  `ts (DateTime64), publisher (LowCardinality String), release_id (String),
+trace_id (FixedString 32), mode (Enum sampled|diagnostic), nav_gen UInt32,
+refresh_gen UInt32, seq UInt32, event (Enum §5.1), slot (String ≤64),
+id_kind (Enum), matched (UInt8), source (Enum), reason (Enum §5.1)`.
+  Sorting key `(publisher, ts, trace_id, seq)`; 30-day TTL; its own ingest
+  token, configured via new `TinybirdSettings` fields
+  (`client_events_dataset`, `client_events_token_secret`) — today's settings
+  configure only the auction dataset (`settings.rs:1752`).
+- **Auction rows** (`AuctionEventRow`, `telemetry.rs:262`, and
+  `auction_events_raw.datasource`): add nullable `trace_id (FixedString 32)`
+  and `mode`; add a bounded **`bid_drop` row type**
+  `{provider, slot, reason (Enum), width UInt16?, height UInt16?, count
+UInt32}` with per-auction row cap 32 and an `overflow` bucket row.
+- APS parsing returns a **structured drop observation**
+  `{reason, slot, width?, height?}` instead of a bare reason string
+  (`aps.rs:722`); dimensions above 8192 use `dimensions_out_of_range` with
+  dimensions omitted, never clamped.
+
+### 5.7 Modes and SLOs
+
+- **Production (sink-backed only):** server-decided 10% sampling.
+  Two separated objectives: **pipeline availability** — ingestion freshness
+  ≤ 5 min and datasource rejection rate < 0.1%, alarmed on breach (fails
+  during sink outages, by design); **failure detection** — a failure mode
+  affecting ≥ 1% of sampled render attempts is visible within one hour,
+  evaluated only at ≥ 10,000 sampled render attempts/hour.
+- **Diagnostic:** authenticated mode (§5.3), unsampled, full stream +
+  console mirroring; one page load names the failing class.
+
+### 5.8 Server-side drop surfacing
+
+Bounded structured summary whenever any bid is dropped; `bid_drop` rows
+(§5.6); drop summary in the initial-HTML `ts-debug` comment; page-bids gains
+a tester-gated structured `debug` field. Startup warnings: APS +
+`allow_script_creatives = false`; mediator + direct providers without an
+explicit `winner_selection` (§6.1 makes that a hard error).
+
+## 6. APS delivery fixes
+
+### 6.1 Mediation: complete inline algorithm
+
+Current mediation cannot support merging: it forwards no stable candidate id;
+restores fields via a lossy last-write-wins `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
+(`adserver_mock.rs:95`); breaks equal-price ties by response arrival order
+(`orchestrator.rs:827`); and assigns parsed Prebid bids USD without
+validating response currency (`prebid.rs:2318`). The algorithm below replaces
+that, identically in the synchronous and split dispatch/collect paths, via
+one shared candidate-selection helper.
+
+1. **Candidate registration.** Every direct-provider bid admitted by parsing
+   becomes a candidate with a **server-minted candidate id** (`c` +
+   11-char CSPRNG, unique per auction). The full candidate (renderer, cache
+   coordinates, notification URLs, currency, provenance
+   `(provider, upstream_bid_id)`) is stored by candidate id. Winners are
+   selected **by candidate id** and their fields read from the stored
+   candidate — the lossy index is deleted.
+2. **Currency.** The auction has one configured currency. A provider response
+   that declares another currency, or a path that cannot prove its currency
+   (the Prebid parse point must validate, not assume USD), rejects that bid
+   at parse with `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`. No conversion.
+3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry their candidate id; the
+   mediator is required (wire contract, including `adserver_mock`) to echo it
+   on any bid derived from a forwarded candidate. A mediator bid **without**
+   an echoed id is mediator-native. A mediator bid with an id that does not
+   resolve → **the slot fails closed** for merging
+   (`mediation_provenance_invalid`: mediator-native bids for that slot still
+   compete; unresolvable forwarded claims are discarded and counted — a
+   warning alone is insufficient).
+4. **Floors.** Slot floors filter both populations before selection.
+5. **Dedup.** A mediator bid that echoes candidate id X removes direct
+   candidate X from the pool (it is the same demand, provenance `mediator`).
+6. **Selection.** Per slot, the winner is the maximum under the **total
+   deterministic order**: decoded CPM desc → provenance rank (mediator
+   before direct) → provider name asc → candidate id asc. Response arrival
+   order can never matter.
+7. **Strategy config.** `[auction].winner_selection` is **required whenever a
+   mediator and direct providers coexist** — startup error if absent (no
+   silent default; §0 removes the compatibility rationale for one):
+   `mediator_only` (mediator bids only, direct providers are signal) or
+   `merge_highest_cpm` (the algorithm above). A mediator timeout degrades to
+   direct-only selection and is reported.
+8. **Reporting.** A selection report per auction: `winner_source`,
+   `mediator_superseded`, `currency_mismatch`, `dedup_hits`,
+   `mediation_provenance_invalid` — separate from delivery `bid_drop` rows.
+
+Deal priority remains out of scope: the `Bid` model carries no deal identity
+(`types.rs:231`); a rule the model cannot express would be fiction. Recorded
+as follow-up requiring a bid-model extension.
+
+### 6.2 Dimensions
+
+Exact size membership stays (`aps.rs:657-668`). The fix is visibility
+(structured `bid_drop{invalid_dimensions, w, h}`, §5.6) plus documentation
+("sizing your slots for APS"): if a size is acceptable, request it in the
+slot's `formats` — accepting unrequested sizes would conceal an upstream
+protocol violation.
 
 ### 6.3 Script creatives
 
-Secure default kept; consequence made loud (5.5); enablement path documented.
+`allow_script_creatives` stays default-`false` (defensible sandbox posture);
+the consequence becomes loud (§5.8) and the enablement path documented.
 
 ### 6.4 Render identity
 
-As G2.
-
-### 6.5 Fallback rendering
-
-As G4e — attribution-gated, not ownership-gated; timeouts never render; the
-renderer is converted to an awaitable API with cancellation and terminal
-reasons before the fallback lands.
-
-### 6.6 Renderer endpoint — unconditional, versioned, observable
-
-- The static renderer document route registers unconditionally in every
-  adapter (the APS provider stays config-gated). Startup validation fails
-  loudly if an auth handler pattern covers it.
-- **Caching matches immutability:** `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1` is an
-  immutable artifact — its bytes change only by shipping `/v2` — so it is
-  served with `Cache-Control: immutable` (long max-age), published to shared
-  artifact storage in deploy stage 1 like every versioned asset (G5), which
-  also answers version-skew (`/v2` requests reaching older instances are
-  served from storage). Revision 3's `no-store` contradicted the versioning
-  and is corrected.
-- Two-stage acknowledgement (G4b): authenticated `document_loaded`, then the
-  runner-load result — splitting `renderer_document_no_load` from
-  `runner_no_load`/`runner_failed`.
-- **Server route counters are aggregate** (requests, unknown-version,
-  auth-blocked): the document request carries no trace (the nonce travels in
-  the URL fragment, which never reaches the server), so no row-level join is
-  claimed.
-- **CSP report-only canary, fully specified:** reports go to a dedicated
-  `POST /_ts/csp-reports` route (same pre-parse caps and same-origin rules as
-  5.3; credentials ignored; rate-limited fail-closed); stored as **aggregate
-  counters only** (directive, blocked-origin **host only** — full URLs
-  redacted) on sink-backed adapters, count-and-drop elsewhere; enforcement
-  follows only after a clean canary window.
-
-### 6.7 One descriptor schema
-
-As revision 3 (review-accepted): tagged-envelope schema generated from a
-separate wire-schema crate/xtask; semantic validators hand-written on both
-sides; outer-tolerance only, exact AAX projection; shared
-positive + adversarial corpus across Rust, TS, and the inline document;
-staleness CI.
+As G2, including the `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen)` registry scope and
+capacity rules.
+
+### 6.5 Fallback
+
+As G4e/G4a; awaitable renderer first; attribution-gated; timeouts never
+render.
+
+### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
+
+- The static renderer document route registers **unconditionally in every
+  adapter** (the APS provider stays config-gated); startup validation fails
+  if an auth handler pattern covers it; §G5 route-isolation rules apply
+  (early dispatch, all methods reserved, no publisher fall-through).
+- Path `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`, embedded in the binary, served
+  `Cache-Control: immutable` (its bytes change only by shipping `/v2` in a
+  new release; §0's purge retires the old). Unknown versions → `404`
+  `no-store`.
+- **Two-stage acknowledgement:** authenticated `document_loaded` (proves
+  route + auth + document CSP), then the runner-load result — splitting
+  `renderer_document_no_load` from `runner_no_load`/`runner_failed`.
+- Server route counters (requests, unknown-version, auth-blocked) are
+  **aggregate only** — the document request carries no trace (the nonce
+  rides the URL fragment and never reaches the server).
+- **CSP rollout that cannot false-pass:** discovery uses the **currently
+  enforced** policy with reporting attached (report-only alone cannot reveal
+  what the enforced policy already blocks). Candidate relaxations are tested
+  in a small enforced cohort under a short-lived canary document version;
+  once frozen, a new immutable `/v2` ships with the final policy. Reports:
+  dedicated `POST /_ts/csp-reports` accepting **both**
+  `application/csp-report` (legacy) and `application/reports+json`
+  (Reporting API), each with its own payload validator; §5.4 caps and
+  rate-limit rules; **origin rules account for the renderer's opaque
+  sandbox** (reports may carry `null` origin — validated by document URL /
+  policy version instead of the beacon's same-origin rule); stored as
+  aggregate counters with blocked sources bucketed into
+  `https-host | data | blob | inline | eval | other` (no arbitrary host
+  labels — cardinality abuse is otherwise trivial). Browser coverage for
+  opaque-renderer reports runs on **Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit** (CI is
+  Chromium-only today, `playwright.config.ts:16`; the matrix extends for
+  this suite).
+
+### 6.7 One descriptor schema — generation covers all three implementations
+
+- Wire truth: the tagged `BidRenderer` envelope (discriminator on the enum,
+  `types.rs:188-211`).
+- A wire-schema crate/xtask (separate from `trusted-server-js`; core already
+  depends on that crate, `Cargo.toml:45`) generates: the JSON-Schema
+  artifact, the **TS structural parser**, the **ES5-compatible inline
+  validator fragment** embedded in the renderer document, and shared
+  fixtures — all checked in with staleness CI. Only environment-specific
+  semantic checks (URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length bounds, the
+  exact one-bid AAX projection, cross-field equality) stay handwritten.
+- Tolerance only on the outer versioned descriptor; the decoded AAX envelope
+  remains an exact projection. A shared positive + adversarial corpus runs
+  through the Rust validator, the generated TS parser, and the generated
+  inline fragment in CI.
 
 ### 6.8 Bridge hardening
 
-As revision 3 (review-accepted): source-first ownership with the bounded
-parent-chain SafeFrame walk (depth 5, known slot-root `WindowProxy` map, no
-tree scans); adversarial test set; top-of-listener hygiene; dead branch
-deleted; renderer branches emit trace records under G4's taxonomy, with G4d
-notifications only where the bid path carries them (never APS).
-
----
-
-## 7. Workstream 3 — TSJS target architecture
+Processing order (normative — preserves the existing stolen-capability
+defense that suppresses propagation before source validation,
+`gpt/index.ts:1547`):
+
+1. parse `e.data` (bare `catch` → return);
+2. identify a TS-reserved ad id (registry lookup);
+3. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` **before** any validation —
+   a rejected foreign frame must not be answerable by Prebid's native
+   handler either;
+4. validate source ownership via the bounded walk: known slot-root
+   `WindowProxy` map, sender's own parent chain (`event.source.parent`, …)
+   to depth 5 — never scanning an attacker-controllable frame tree;
+5. validate nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` (G4b);
+6. respond, or refuse with `bridge_id_mismatch`.
+
+Non-TS ad ids are untouched (no propagation suppression). The stolen-token
+browser test asserts **neither TS nor the native Prebid listener responds**;
+listener-registration ordering has a real-browser assertion. The dead
+duplicate renderer branch (C5) is deleted; renderer branches emit the full
+§5.1 sequence with G4d notifications only on carrying paths.
+
+## 7. TSJS target architecture
 
 ### 7.1 Layering
 
-Kernel / adapters / services / integrations exactly as revision 3, with the
-boundary lint in CI. Stateful services via the G3 ABI only.
+```
+kernel/          boot, config, queue, event bus, log, beacon, sessions
+adapters/        googletag.ts, pbjs.ts, messaging.ts   ← the ONLY window.* access
+services/        slots (registry+handoff), auction client, render engine, consent
+integrations/    gpt, prebid, aps, creative, datadome, …  (plugins over services)
+```
+
+Boundary lint in CI (`import/no-restricted-paths`): kernel imports nothing
+above it; adapters import kernel only; services import kernel + adapters;
+integrations import kernel + services, never each other. This dissolves the
+audited inversions (`core/auction.ts` and `core/request.ts` importing
+`integrations/aps/render`; `gpt` and `prebid` importing `aps`; `prebid`
+owning the GPT refresh wrapper). Stateful services via the G3 registry only.
 
 ### 7.2 Adapters
 
-`present | pending | timed_out` with non-terminal `timed_out` (late loaders
-transition to `present`); per-operation timeouts with disposition reasons.
+Per external global: `present | pending | timed_out`, `timed_out`
+non-terminal (late loaders transition to `present` and drain what is still
+valid); queued operations carry their own timeouts and expire with
+disposition reasons.
 
 ### 7.3 Slot registry service
 
-Kernel-owned registry (`WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` + div-id index)
-holding ownership, adoption, handoff claims, responsive resolution, pending
-request cycles (G4a), and targeting-key history. No expandos on GPT objects.
-
-### 7.4 Global namespace policy — with a compatibility window
-
-As revision 3 (review-accepted): `window.tsjs` + `tsjs._internal`; the public
-queue keeps its real name **`tsjs.que`**; public globals
-(`tscreative`, `tsCreativeConfig`, `tsjs.que`) get dual-read/write for two
-release cycles / ≥ 60 days, closing only on the adoption gate (old-name usage
-< 0.1% of traces for 14 days, measured on sink-backed deployments);
-`requestAds` keeps its void signature; `requestAdsAsync` is the new versioned
-API; private globals migrate immediately.
+Kernel-owned; `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` + div-id index; holds
+ownership (ts/publisher/adopted), handoff claims, responsive resolution,
+G4a intent queue + cycle state (RuntimeSession-scoped), targeting-key
+history. No expandos on GPT objects (`__tsRenderGeneration`/`__tsRenderBid`
+deleted).
+
+### 7.4 Final global surface (hard cutover — no dual names)
+
+| Legacy surface (removed at cutover)          | Final shape                                                                   |
+| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `window.tsjs.que`                            | `window.tsjs.que` — unchanged, the one public queue                           |
+| `globalThis.tscreative` (API)                | `tsjs.creative.*` (same methods, namespaced)                                  |
+| `globalThis.tsCreativeConfig` (pre-load)     | `tsjs.boot.creative` inside the boot container (below)                        |
+| `requestAds` (void) — and rev-4's dual API   | **one** async contract: `tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>` |
+| `window.__tsjs_*` flags, integration configs | `tsjs.boot.*` fields written by server-injected scripts before the bundle     |
+| server install manifest                      | `tsjs.boot.manifest` (`{release_id, plugins: [{id, order}]}`)                 |
+| expandos / function sentinels                | `SlotRecord` fields / kernel `WeakSet`                                        |
+| `tsjs._internal`                             | kernel-owned registry (G3), **frozen after boot**                             |
+
+Boot container lifecycle: pre-core scripts write
+`window.tsjs = window.tsjs || {que: [], boot: {}}` fields; the kernel
+**consumes `boot` at boot, deep-freezes the retained copy, and deletes
+consumed one-shot secrets** (the trace authorization moves into the sealed
+NavigationSession). Old pages referencing removed names fail at cutover —
+accepted per §0.
 
 ### 7.5 Messaging module
 
-All `postMessage` through one module: versioned envelopes, name constants,
-G4b nonces, 6.8 source validation. A **minimal** messaging module (envelope +
-constants + validation helpers used by the bridge) lands early (Phase 1) so
-Phase 3 does not depend on Phase-4 structure; the full migration of every
-legacy call site completes in Phase 4.
-
-### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle and session model
-
-As revision 3 (review-accepted), with G3's sharpened version semantics:
-manifest versions are ranges (major + minMinor); quarantine on
-incompatibility; first-wins only among compatible. Sessions:
-`RuntimeSession` / `NavigationSession` / `RenderAttempt` with enumerable
-disposal inventories. Error policy: no empty `catch`; auction fetch gets
-timeout + `AbortController`. **Console logging retained, not replaced**
-(paired `warn` with the beacon's reason code; `debug`-level
-delivery/security failures promoted to `warn`).
-
-### 7.7 The bootstrap problem
-
-As revision 3: queue-and-flags stub + bundle replay behind its own flag with
-replay-timing specs; the no-bundle fallback generated from the TypeScript
-source.
-
-### 7.8 GPT correctness fixes carried with the restructure
-
-- **Unconditional early GPT event subscription:** the `slotRenderEnded`
-  (and `slotRequested`) listeners register on the command queue at install,
-  no longer gated behind `!ts.servicesEnabled` (`gpt/index.ts:1017`) — G4a
-  cannot work on bootstrap-first pages otherwise. Recording is idempotent so
-  double-registration cannot double-count.
-- Restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery.
-- `changeCorrelator: false` on TS-initiated refreshes (configurable).
-- `enableSingleRequest()` only when GPT services are not already enabled.
-- Ambiguous responsive resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}`.
+All `postMessage` through one module: versioned envelopes, name constants
+(the `'Prebid Request'` literal exists at six sites today; the APS handshake
+in three copies), G4b nonces, §6.8 validation. The minimal module (envelope +
+constants + validators used by the bridge) lands in Phase 1; full call-site
+migration completes in Phase 4.
+
+### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle — transactional — and sessions
+
+`tsjs.definePlugin(id, install, dispose?)` with `install(ctx)`:
+
+- `ctx.signal` (aborted on quarantine/disposal); synchronous
+  `ctx.onDispose(fn)` registration; effects must be registered as they are
+  made.
+- **Unwind on failure:** a throw, rejection, or abort triggers automatic
+  reverse-order invocation of the disposers registered so far — partial
+  installs cannot leak effects. Per-disposer exception isolation (one
+  throwing disposer cannot stop the rest).
+- A disposer registered (or returned) **after** the owning session was
+  disposed is invoked immediately.
+- Pending late registrations (manifest requested, bundle not yet evaluated):
+  capacity 16, bound 10 s, then `bundle_partial`.
+- Release matching per G3: a plugin whose `release_id` differs from the
+  kernel's is quarantined before `install` runs.
+- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime: bridge listener, history hook,
+  pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue, **slot cycle state**);
+  `NavigationSession` (per navigation: trace + authorization, render
+  attempts, slot aliases, targeting history); `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle
+  or G4f attempt). Each owns an enumerable disposal inventory; navigation
+  disposes only NavigationSession children.
+- Error policy: no empty `catch` — handle, log with context, or emit a
+  disposition. The auction fetch gains timeout + `AbortController`.
+- **Console logging retained:** every issue-surfacing condition keeps or
+  gains a `log.warn` carrying the same reason code as its beacon event;
+  `debug`-level delivery/security failures are promoted to `warn`.
+
+### 7.7 Bootstrap
+
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` (495 ES5 lines duplicating handoff/initial-load/hydration
+logic, with the live `servicesEnabled` divergence) shrinks to a
+queue-and-flags stub; the bundle replays recorded early calls on install.
+Replay changes observable ordering — it ships inside the cutover with
+browser specs covering replay timing. The no-bundle fallback ("ads render if
+the bundle fails", pinned by `gpt.rs:1174-1179`) is **generated from the
+same TypeScript source** at build time.
+
+### 7.8 GPT correctness carried with the restructure
+
+Unconditional early `slotRequested`/`slotRenderEnded` subscription (replacing
+the `!servicesEnabled` gate, `gpt/index.ts:1017`; recording idempotent);
+restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery; `changeCorrelator: false`
+on TS refreshes (configurable); `enableSingleRequest()` only when GPT
+services are not already enabled; ambiguous responsive resolution emits
+`render_fail{slot_unresolved}` alongside its warning.
 
 ### 7.9 Decomposition targets
 
-As revision 3 (gpt/prebid splits, script-guard consolidation, trace model/UI
-split, `global.d.ts` fix).
-
-### 7.10 Performance
-
-Budgets tightened per review: per-bundle raw/gzip/Brotli for the exact
-ordered module vector vs a checked-in baseline, **+5% byte tolerance**;
-browser timing assertion (bids-script-to-first-`display()`) on a **pinned CI
-runner class and pinned browser version**, **5 warm-up runs discarded, 50
-measured samples, gate on p90 with +10% latency tolerance**; server bench
-(precomputed concatenation) gates CPU and heap at **±10% vs baseline** with
-pinned tool versions. Precompute lands in Phase 0 with asset identity (G5).
-
-### 7.11 Toolchain and dependency currency
-
-As revision 3 (review-accepted): raise the TypeScript floor to the resolved
-5.9 line, then evaluate the next major separately; strictness flags on; dev
-toolchain bumps as individual CI-gated PRs; `prebid.js` excluded from casual
-bumps; monthly review policy.

+
+### 7.10 Performance (reproducible)
+
+- Bundle budgets: raw/gzip/Brotli per bundle for **three module vectors**
+  (minimal, reference, maximal), compressors pinned (`gzip -9`,
+  `brotli -q 11`), compared to checked-in baseline artifacts
+  (`perf/baselines/*.json`); baseline updates are explicit reviewed diffs.
+  Tolerance +5% bytes.
+- Browser timing (bids-script-to-first-`display()`): pinned CI runner class
+  (the repository's standard Linux runner image) and the
+  Playwright-pinned browser build; 5 warm-up runs discarded, 50 samples,
+  gate p90 ≤ baseline × 1.10.
+- Server (precomputed concatenation): one-sided gates, CPU and heap ≤
+  baseline × 1.10; improvements always pass. Tool versions pinned in
+  `.tool-versions`.
+
+### 7.11 Toolchain
+
+Raise the TypeScript floor to the resolved 5.9 line (lockfile already
+resolves 5.9.3 under the stale `^5.5.4` manifest); adopt
+`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
+`verbatimModuleSyntax`; dev-toolchain bumps (eslint, prettier, jsdom,
+`@playwright/test`, `@types/node`) as individual CI-gated PRs with changelog
+review (this library monkeypatches `fetch`/`sendBeacon`/DOM prototypes —
+jsdom/Playwright changes are real risks); `prebid.js` excluded from casual
+bumps (runtime Prebid is the manifest-locked external bundle; the npm pin
+and deployed bundle version documented together); monthly review; no phase
+starts more than one minor behind stable.
 
 ## 8. Migration plan
 
-Each phase ships behind a feature flag with **phase-specific gates** (the
-render-fail canary cannot evaluate phases that predate the metric):
-
-- **Phase 0 — Asset identity, contracts, toolchain.** Two-stage artifact
-  publishing (shared immutable storage) + path-based identity + ordered-vector
-  precompute + rolling-deploy tests in both directions + legacy-URL test;
-  toolchain floors; contracts G1–G5 as code-adjacent docs; delete dead expando
-  writes; server drop-reason surfacing.
-  _Gate:_ zero unexpected `410`s and zero legacy-URL breakage on canary; asset
-  hit/miss counters nominal.
-- **Phase 1 — Kernel ABI, sessions, minimal messaging, minimal cycle
-  registry.** Versioned registry with `(major, minor)` semantics;
-  `RuntimeSession`/`NavigationSession`; install manifest; the minimal
-  messaging module (7.5) and the cycle-aware slot-record core (G4a's queue)
-  land here so Phase 3 has its dependencies; unconditional early GPT
-  subscriptions (7.8).
-  _Gate:_ ABI install-success counters clean; zero `abi_mismatch` on canary;
-  no listener regression in browser specs.
-- **Phase 2 — Trace and beacon.** Server-minted initial trace + page-bids
-  `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` echo + capability issuance (G1, 5.3); beacon service;
-  four-adapter ingest; `ts_client_events`.
-  _Gate:_ ingest acceptance/drop/abuse counters nominal; trace join rate on
-  sink-backed canary ≥ 95% of sampled traces.
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Wire-schema crate + corpus; mediation helper +
-  opt-in merge; render token; unconditional versioned renderer route +
-  two-stage ack; bridge hardening; request-cycle protocol + render state
-  machine + awaitable renderer + scoped notifications (G4a–G4d); the opt-in
-  fallback (G4e); restore #922/#997; correlator and SRA fixes.
-  _Gate:_ `render_fail` rate within +0.5% absolute of pre-flag baseline over
-  24 h on canary; fill/latency/billing volume deltas within agreed bounds
+Phases are internal build milestones of **one coordinated release** (§0):
+each lands behind a flag in the dark deployment; the cutover switches them
+on together. Gates are executable — every gate names query, cohort,
+denominator, minimum sample, threshold, window, owner (release owner unless
+stated), and action (hold cutover / rollback switch):
+
+- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain.** Path-hashed embedded assets +
+  410 semantics + ordered-vector precompute; `format_version`; §5.6 schemas
+  deployed and validated (writer-off); toolchain floors; dead expando writes
+  deleted; §5.8 server drop surfacing.
+  _Gate:_ dark-instance health 100%; datasource validation green (rejection
+  rate < 0.1% on synthetic writes, freshness ≤ 5 min); asset `410` rate on
+  dark probes = 0 for known hashes.
+- **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry.** G3
+  registry (exact release ids); RuntimeSession/NavigationSession; install
+  manifest; minimal messaging module; G4a intent/cycle records; unconditional
+  GPT subscriptions.
+  _Gate:_ browser-spec suite green incl. listener-order assertions; zero
+  `abi_mismatch`/`bundle_partial` on dark probes.
+- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** Server-minted initial trace + page-bids
+  header echo + signed authorizations; beacon service; four-adapter ingest;
+  `ts_client_events` writers on.
+  _Gate:_ on dark probes: ingest acceptance ≥ 99%, group auth-rejection
+  < 0.5%, dedup query returns exactly-once per `(trace, seq)`; freshness
+  ≤ 5 min over a 24 h window.
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus (6.7); mediation
+  algorithm + required `winner_selection` (6.1); render token (G2);
+  renderer route + two-stage ack + CSP report route (6.6); bridge order
+  (6.8); G4a–G4f state machines, awaitable renderer, scoped notifications,
+  fallback; #922/#997 restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
+  _Gate (canary cohort vs simultaneous control cohort, 24 h, minimum 10,000
+  sampled attempts each):_ APS `render_accepted` / attributable APS attempts
+  ≥ 95%; renderer-document load rate ≥ 99%; runner failure+timeout ≤ 1%; GAM
+  fill, p90 latency, and billing volume deltas within ±2% of control
   (billing measured against GAM/server-side reporting, not the beacon);
-  release-gating real-GAM overlap test green.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint; plugin lifecycle
-  completion; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
-  namespace window (7.4).
-  _Gate:_ boundary lint zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests green.
-- **Phase 5 — Decomposition.** File splits; script-guard consolidation;
-  bootstrap shrink (own flag, replay-timing specs); compatibility-window
-  close (adoption-gated).
-  _Gate:_ bundle budgets and timing assertions hold; adoption gate met before
-  any removal.
-
----
+  real-GAM overlap test green. Action on breach: hold cutover.
+- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint; transactional
+  plugin lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
+  final namespace (7.4).
+  _Gate:_ boundary lint zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests
+  green; pre-cutover page smoke on the final namespace.
+- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; script-guard
+  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback; then the §0 runbook.

 ## 9. Test acceptance matrix

 ## 10. Alternatives considered
 
-Unchanged from revision 3 (patching without telemetry; always-direct-render;
-single module graph; big-bang rewrite; dropping the bootstrap;
-timeout-triggered fallback — all rejected for the recorded reasons).
+1. **Patching APS point-failures without telemetry** — rejected: three
+   correct fixes produced no ads; the next fix would be another guess.
+2. **Always direct-render APS (skip GAM/PUC)** — rejected: unilaterally
+   changes GAM reporting/pacing; kept only as the attributed-`gam_empty`
+   fallback.
+3. **Single module graph / shared chunks now** — rejected for this release:
+   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes; recorded as
+   the successor behind the same registry surface.
+4. **Full rewrite in one branch without phases** — rejected: the browser-spec
+   safety net is thinnest exactly where behavior changes.
+5. **Dropping the ES5 bootstrap** — rejected: loses the pinned no-bundle
+   guarantee; generation from TS keeps it without dual maintenance.
+6. **Timeout-triggered fallback** — rejected: GPT requests cannot be
+   cancelled; a timeout race can double-render and double-bill.
+7. **N/N−1 compatibility machinery** (revisions 3–4) — removed by the §0
+   policy decision: version ranges, retained artifacts, legacy URLs, and
+   dual-name globals deleted in favor of exact release matching and a
+   coordinated switch.
 
 ## 11. Risks
 
-Revision 3's list, plus: **shared-storage dependency for assets** (stage-1
-publish becomes a deploy prerequisite; mitigated by the embedded fast path
-for the current vector and deploy-time verification that storage matches the
-embedded hashes); **notification-trigger semantics** are now a published
-contract for PBS-path demand — changing them later is a breaking change for
-SSP reporting expectations.
+- **Hard cutover blast radius:** in-flight pages fail at switch; accepted by
+  policy (§0); bounded by the purge + 24 h monitored window + traffic-switch
+  rollback.
+- **Mediator wire-contract change** (candidate-id echo) requires
+  coordinating the mediator implementation; until echoed ids exist,
+  `merge_highest_cpm` cannot be enabled (config validation enforces this).
+- **Notification triggers become a published contract** for PBS-path demand;
+  changing them later is a breaking change for SSP reporting.
+- **Beacon abuse:** bounded by pre-parse caps, origin checks, fail-closed
+  numeric rate limits, server-decided sampling, signed authorizations.
+- **Registry/limiter memory:** all client and server maps carry explicit
+  capacities, TTLs, and eviction rules (G2, §5.4).
+- **CSP relaxation:** enforced-cohort canary + new immutable version prevent
+  false-clean canaries; bucketed aggregation prevents cardinality abuse.
+- **Sink blindness:** fire-and-forget dispatch is compensated by mandatory
+  datasource-side freshness/rejection monitoring.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-1. APS creatives render on a reference page in each configured flow,
-   hermetically in CI and via the staged smoke suite (including the real-GAM
-   overlap test).
-2. Every failure point in section 2 maps to a distinct observable signal;
-   diagnostic mode names the failing reason from one page load; production
-   telemetry meets the 5.4 SLO on sink-backed deployments.
-3. Boundary lint zero exceptions; stateful sharing only via the versioned
-   ABI; mixed-version delivery resolves to the G3 verdicts.
-4. No file in `src/` exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
+1. APS creatives render in each configured flow — SSAT, client-Prebid,
+   page-bids, and direct `/auction` (G4f) — hermetically in CI and in the
+   release-gating real-GAM suite.
+2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; diagnostic mode names the
+   failing class from one page load; §5.7 objectives hold on sink-backed
+   deployments.
+3. Boundary lint zero exceptions; stateful sharing only via the G3 registry;
+   exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.
+4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
    generated.
 5. Trace counts are per-impression; orphan recovery has a non-vacuous test;
-   cycle attribution follows G4a including the publisher-overlap fail-closed
-   rule.
-6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` (public globals only inside
-   their window, closed by the 7.4 adoption gate); no expandos on GPT slots,
-   GPT functions, or `pbjs`.
-7. Bundle budgets (+5% bytes) and the pinned-environment p90 timing assertion
-   (50 samples, +10% tolerance) hold; server concatenation is precomputed
-   within ±10% CPU/heap of baseline.
-8. No existing warning is lost; every issue-surfacing condition logs at
-   `warn` or above with the beacon's reason code.
+   cycle attribution follows G4a (physical requests, publisher-overlap
+   quarantine, drain/re-arm).
+6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` with the §7.4 final shape; no
+   expandos on GPT slots, GPT functions, or `pbjs`; legacy names are gone at
+   cutover.
+7. §7.10 budgets hold (three vectors, pinned tools, one-sided server gates).
+8. No existing warning is lost; every issue-surfacing condition logs `warn`+
+   with the beacon's reason code.
 9. TypeScript floor matches the resolved 5.9 line with strictness flags on;
-   `prebid.js` pin matches the documented deployed bundle; monthly review
-   policy in CI docs.
-10. Rolling-deploy tests pass in both directions; legacy URLs serve through
-    their sunset; unknown hashes 410 `no-store`; immutable only on exact
-    match.
-11. `nurl`/`burl` fire only on carrying paths, on their G4d transitions,
+   `prebid.js` pin matches the documented deployed bundle.
+10. `nurl`/`burl` fire only on carrying paths at their G4d binds,
     attempt-scoped and idempotent; APS fires neither.
-12. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store` by test; capabilities are
-    per-trace and never authorize a trace they were not bound to.
+11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store` by test; authorizations
+    are per-trace, signed, mode-carrying, and never accepted unsigned.
+12. The cutover runbook has been rehearsed (switch, purge, rollback switch)
+    before the production switch.

Subject: [PATCH 210/494] Close residual review deltas on revision 5

The fifth review round matched revision 4's text and line positions;
revision 5 already contained the contested contracts (slotRequested-
opened cycles, RuntimeSession drain state, propagation-stopping bridge
order, per-flow nurl bind, G4f direct lifecycle, inlined mediation
algorithm, signed server-decided sampling, observation events in the
wire enum, ts_client_events schema, dedup keys, numeric limiter
bounds, isolated internal routes, opaque-origin CSP handling,
transactional plugins, final namespace table, refresh_gen token scope,
generated inline validator, control-cohort Phase 3 gates, and the
failure-to-signal mapping). This commit patches the genuine remainders:
minimum key strength and missing-key startup behavior for the trace
authorization, client-events sink batch cap with startup validation,
sink-unavailable behavior, canonical join and alert ownership, the
three-instrument CSP rollout (enforced discovery, report-only
tightening, enforced-cohort relaxation with named gates and kill
switch) with unused-field discard, p95 for the Phase 3 latency gate,
a four-flow behavioral-parity gate on Phase 4, named runner image and
browser pinning with baseline-validity rules, the operator-query note
on the failure mapping, and the wire-event clarification for G4c
observations.

Subject: [PATCH 211/494] Revise design spec: adopt the 248fe9558 baseline and
 answer round five

Advances the baseline to the APS PUC/collapsed-shell fix (citations
refreshed; C5 marked fixed; G4b rebuilt on the MessageChannel
transport with a three-message authenticated sequence; gam_collapsed
added as an observation with the guarded resize adopted as a
sanctioned exception) and resolves the fifth review round: a 256-byte
auth bound with full token encoding rules, a signed unsampled mode
that transmits nothing, an operator-credential diagnostic gate
replacing the non-security tester cookie, trace issuance on the
direct /auction path via header and response extension, causal
intent classification that retires known zero-request display
intents and quarantines ambiguous overlap, removal of timeout
re-arm in favor of drain/destroy/page-end, RuntimeSession tombstones
preserving bridge suppression across navigations, an arrival-
independent mediation order on intrinsic candidate keys with required
auction currency and strategy-specific timeouts, a per-event field
matrix with nullable storage columns and dedicated overflow and
billing-outcome events, an adapter rate-limiter abstraction with
per-platform semantics and reject-at-capacity, direct-auction
serialization and notification plumbing, idempotent field-wise boot
initialization with fallback activation and arbitration, auth renewal
for long-lived pages, selection_summary rows, canonical dedup views
with heartbeat monitoring, a complete settings schema, boot.debug
envelopes making every failure class one-page-load visible, an
object-form plugin API carrying release ids, construction-time
concatenation caching, forgery-resistant CSP report routing with
frozen per-version header manifests, a single router-weight rollout
state machine with phase decision records and a checked-in gates
table, survivorship-safe Phase 3 metrics, and a fully pinned
performance workflow.

 ## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
 
-This design targets a **single coordinated release**. Explicitly:
-
-- Server, TSJS bundles, config format, and page HTML ship together as one
-  release with one **release id** (`release_id`: the git tag / build hash).
-- **No N/N−1 support.** Old pages, old bundles, old config blobs, old
-  globals, and old URLs may stop working at cutover. In-flight clients (pages
-  loaded before the switch) may fail; this is accepted and stated, not
-  mitigated.
-- **Exact release matching only.** The kernel, every service, every plugin,
-  and the install manifest carry the same `release_id`; any mismatch is a
-  refusal, never a negotiation. There are no version ranges.
-- **Config format version:** the config blob gains a top-level
-  `format_version`; the binary rejects any other value. No
-  omit-default-for-rollback serialization rules; rollback means redeploying
-  the previous release with its own config.
-- **Assets:** binaries embed only their own release's artifacts. Hashed
-  pathnames are kept **for cache identity only** (correct caching and
-  dedup), not for retention: an unknown hash answers `410 Gone`,
-  `Cache-Control: no-store`. No shared artifact store — no separate
-  requirement for one was established.
-- **Cutover runbook (normative):** (1) deploy the release to all instances
-  dark (flagged off); (2) verify instance health and config
-  `format_version`; (3) switch traffic atomically at the routing/CDN layer;
-  (4) purge the CDN of prior HTML and assets; (5) monitor the Phase gates
-  (§8); rollback = switch traffic back to the previous release and re-purge.
-
-Everything that revisions 3–4 built for mixed-version tolerance is removed:
-no ABI version ranges, no retained-artifact storage, no legacy query-hash
-sunset, no dual-name global window, no adoption gates.
+This design targets a **single coordinated release**:
+
+- Server, TSJS bundles, config format, and page HTML ship together under one
+  **`release_id`** (git tag / build hash). **No N/N−1 support**: old pages,
+  bundles, config blobs, globals, and URLs may stop working at cutover;
+  in-flight clients may fail. Accepted and stated, not mitigated.
+- **Exact release matching only** — kernel, services, plugins, and the
+  install manifest carry the same `release_id`; mismatch is a refusal.
+- **Config:** top-level `format_version`, exact match required. Rollback =
+  redeploy the previous release with its own config.
+- **Assets:** binaries embed only their release's artifacts; hashed pathnames
+  exist for cache identity only; unknown hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`.
+- **One executable rollout state machine** (resolving the §0/§8 tension the
+  review found): a release ships with a **deployment manifest** enumerating
+  the complete flag set; the new pool comes up **fully enabled but
+  unreachable except by probes**; phase gates (§8) run against probe traffic
+  and a **router-weight canary of coherent routed requests** (a request is
+  served end-to-end by one pool — HTML, assets, and APIs never mix pools);
+  **router weight is the sole activation primitive**; cutover = weight to
+  100% + CDN purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge. Flags exist for
+  emergency kill switches inside a pool, not as the activation mechanism.
 
 ## 1. Problem statement

 auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer descriptor to the page — yet

-fail silently**, and the client cannot tell the server which one fired.

 whoever acts first:
 
 - **Initial navigation (`nav_gen 0`):** the server mints `trace_id` (128-bit
-  CSPRNG, `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), writes it into that response's auction rows
-  (§5.6 schema), and injects it into `tsjs.boot` with a **signed trace

-- **Sampling is server-decided for every trace** — initial via boot, SPA via

-  (§5.3 `mode`). The client never asserts its own sampling; an unsigned or

-  today's fallback chain unchanged.
-- **Renderer-only bids: `hb_adid` = a server-minted render token**,
-  `^[a-z0-9]{12}$` exactly, CSPRNG, collision-retried within the minting
-  auction. Cross-auction uniqueness is probabilistic (36¹² ≈ 4.7×10¹⁸;
-  birthday-bound negligible at realistic volumes) and made harmless by
-  registry scoping.
-- **Registry scope and bounds:** the client bridge registry keys tokens by
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen)` — refresh auctions within one
-  navigation cannot collide, closing the revision-4 gap. Capacity: 64 live
-  entries per navigation; at capacity a new registration is refused with
-  disposition `registry_full`; unexpired entries are evicted only by
-  navigation disposal. Token TTL 15 minutes; one-time consumption.
-- The client-Prebid path keeps Prebid's generated `adId`; both paths register
-  into the one registry keyed by whichever id that path observes.
-- Regression tests: non-APS cache-backed bids byte-identical.

 ### G4 — Render lifecycle
 
-**G4a — Physical request-cycle protocol.** Two separated notions:
-
-- **Intent:** a TS `display()`/`refresh()` call (or an observed publisher
-  entry) targeting a slot. Intents are classified `ts | publisher` at the
-  wrapped entry points. An intent may produce zero physical requests
-  (initial-load-disabled `display()`; `refresh()` on a never-displayed
-  adopted slot); an intent that produces no `slotRequested` within its bound
-  (2 s) expires with disposition `intent_no_request` — diagnostics only.
-- **Cycle (outstanding physical request):** opened **only by
-  `slotRequested`**, matched to the oldest unexpired TS intent for that slot,
-  else classified publisher-initiated. SRA batching yields one `slotRequested`
-  per slot per batch — one cycle each, all matched to the intents of the
-  batch call. A cycle closes on its `slotRenderEnded` (matched by slot; GPT's
-  `responseIdentifier`, where present, deduplicates responses during drain —
-  it never attributes initiation).
-- **Serialization:** TS keeps at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot. A TS
-  intent arriving while a TS cycle is outstanding **queues** (bounded: 1
-  queued replacement; further intents coalesce into it).
-- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one
-  TS cycle is outstanding for the slot and no publisher-initiated or
-  untracked request overlaps it. Any overlap → the slot enters
-  **quarantine**: `cycle_unattributable`, fail closed (no fallback, no state
-  transition), and the drain rule applies.
-- **Drain/re-arm (supersession and SPA):** physical cycle state lives in the
-  **RuntimeSession-owned slot record**, not the NavigationSession — adopted
-  slots outlive navigations. On navigation or supersession, outstanding
-  cycles are marked stale; their late events are **matched and discarded**
-  with disposition `stale_navigation` (never misattributed); a quarantined or
-  stale slot re-arms only after every outstanding request/render pair has
-  drained (or its 60 s drain bound elapses, which keeps the slot
-  fallback-ineligible for that navigation). Queued TS intents dispatch only
-  after re-arm. A timeout never makes an old event disappear — drain-by-match
-  does.
-- CI exercises the protocol on the deterministic harness; a **release-gating
-  real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS cycle;
-  initial-load-disabled cycle formation) validates it against actual GPT.
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement protocol.** The renderer document currently posts
-"ready" only to its immediate parent (`aps.rs:105`); in the PUC path the
-top-level kernel cannot observe it, and callbacks fire on send
-(`gpt/index.ts:1572`, `:1620`). Contract: the bridge response embeds a
-**per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG acknowledgement nonce**; the renderer document
-posts versioned `{t: "render_accepted" | "render_failed", nonce, reason?}`
-to the top window; the kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8
-walk), nonce equality, token binding, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — all five —
-before any state transition or notification. Pinned by tests for SSAT,
-client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame flows, including stale and replayed
-acks.
+**G4a — Physical request-cycle protocol.**
+
+- **Intents, both classes, one causal queue.** Every observable initiation —
+  TS `display()`/`refresh()` and wrapped publisher entries — records an
+  intent in causal order, classified `ts | publisher`. A TS `display()`
+  issued while initial load is disabled is **known at call time to produce
+  no request** and is retired immediately as bookkeeping (it never enters
+  the matcher) — closing the review's misattribution case where a publisher
+  `refresh()` inside the 2 s window would have been consumed by a stale TS
+  intent. TS intents that _may_ produce no request only in hindsight
+  (`refresh()` on a never-displayed adopted slot) expire at 2 s with
+  `intent_no_request`; **if any publisher intent is recorded for the slot
+  while such a TS intent is pending, the next `slotRequested` is ambiguous
+  and the slot quarantines** — a zero-request TS intent can never silently
+  win FIFO matching. (Exact test in §9.)
+- **Cycles:** opened only by `slotRequested`, matched to the head of the
+  causal intent queue; SRA batching yields one `slotRequested` per slot per
+  batch. A cycle closes on its `slotRenderEnded`; `responseIdentifier`
+  deduplicates responses during drain.
+- **Serialization:** at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot; one queued
+  TS replacement (later intents coalesce).
+- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one TS
+  cycle is outstanding and no publisher/untracked request overlaps.
+  Overlap → quarantine (`cycle_unattributable`, fail closed).
+- **Drain/re-arm (no timeout re-arm).** Physical cycle and drain state live
+  in the RuntimeSession slot record; **unissued intents are
+  NavigationSession children** and are cancelled by navigation disposal. A
+  quarantined or stale slot re-arms only on: count-based drain (every
+  outstanding request/render pair matched), safe TS-owned slot destruction
+  and redefinition, or page end. **A timeout emits a diagnostic and never
+  restores attribution** — the 60 s bound from revision 5 is removed
+  because an old `slotRenderEnded` arriving after re-arm would be
+  indistinguishable from a new cycle. Late stale events are matched and
+  discarded (`stale_navigation`).
+- CI exercises the protocol on the deterministic harness; a release-gating
+  **real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS cycle;
+  initial-load-disabled formation) validates it against actual GPT.
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement protocol (on the baseline port transport).** Since
+`248fe9558` the frame pair speaks MessageChannel (parent-postMessage with

+exact-key replies; one-shot `accepted` latch; port closed after reply —
+`aps.rs:65-125`, `aps/render.ts:415-437`). Adopted as the contract of record

+reply resolves inside the creative frame; callbacks fire on send,
+`gpt/index.ts:1632-1760`). Contract — **three authenticated messages per
+attempt**, each carrying the per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG nonce from the
+bridge response:
+
+1. `renderer_document_loaded` — posted to the top window after the document
+   validates the descriptor and nonce (this is §6.6's first stage, which
+   revision 5's two-message protocol omitted);
+2. the port reply to its frame-pair peer (baseline behavior, unchanged);
+3. `render_accepted` / `render_failed{reason}` — posted to the top window.
+
+The kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8 walk), nonce, token,
+`nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — before any state transition or notification. The
+one-shot latch + port close mean a re-render is a fresh document instance
+with a fresh nonce. Pinned for SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame,
+including stale/replayed acks and acks after navigation disposal.
 
 **G4c — Honest observations.** Inline-adm frames are sandboxed `srcdoc`
-without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:358`) — opaque origins; geometry
-proves nothing. Observations: `gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`,
-`renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`,
-`adm_document_loaded`. Every path terminates at `render_accepted`
-(authenticated per G4b where the renderer protocol exists;
-`adm_document_loaded` stands in for adm frames). **No observation claims
-paint**; there is no `render_confirmed`. A future trusted completion ack
-(OQ6) may add a new state under a new name.
-
-**G4d — Win/billing notifications.** APS intentionally carries neither
-`nurl` nor `burl` (`aps.rs:812`; the minimized AAX envelope excludes them;
-the integration guide documents no generic APS beacons). APS billing lives in
-the Amazon runner lifecycle; unchanged.
-
-For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB providers), **bind is defined per
-flow and is never selection or targeting** (targeting-only firing is
-explicitly prevented today, `ad_init.test.ts:1824`):
-
-- PUC/GAM flow: bind = an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim.
-- Direct `/auction` flow: bind = validated render start (slot resolved,
-  descriptor/markup validated, attempt created).
-- Fallback flow: bind = attributed `gam_empty`, immediately before the
-  fallback render starts.
-
-`nurl` fires at bind; `burl` at `render_accepted`; both attempt-scoped
-(idempotency key `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, hb_adid)`), fired at
-most once, via `sendBeacon`/`no-cors fetch`, no retries. Terminal failure
-after acceptance → `billed_then_failed` label; no un-firing.
+without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:510`) — opaque; geometry proves
+nothing (the shell dimensions are assigned by our own code). Observations:
+`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, **`gam_collapsed`** (nonempty render whose
+shell computes ≤ 1px — the baseline's discovery), `renderer_document_loaded`,
+`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. Every path
+terminates at `render_accepted`; **no observation claims paint**; there is
+no `render_confirmed`. The baseline's `resizeCollapsedCreativeFrame`
+(`gpt/index.ts:217`) is adopted as a **sanctioned, guarded exception** to
+the no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule (authenticated source frame only; wrapper
+only when both dimensions ≤ 1px; anchor-ad `ins[data-anchor-status]` and
+fixed/sticky guards) and emits `gam_collapsed` when it acts.
+
+**G4d — Win/billing notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
+by design (`aps.rs:839`; the AAX envelope excludes them; the integration
+guide documents no generic APS beacons) — APS billing lives in the Amazon
+runner lifecycle, unchanged, and **APS is excluded from everything below**.
+
+For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB providers): bind is per flow and
+never selection or targeting (`ad_init.test.ts:1824` pins that):
+
+- GAM/PUC: an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim.
+- Direct `/auction`: validated render start. **This requires server and
+  client work the current code lacks**: `/auction` response conversion must
+  preserve `nurl`/`burl` with server-side macro expansion
+  (`formats.rs:423` omits them today) and the client parser must carry and
+  https-validate them (`core/auction.ts:43` drops them today).
+- Fallback: attributed `gam_empty`, immediately before fallback render.
+
+`nurl` at bind; `burl` at `render_accepted`; attempt-scoped idempotency key

+**`billing_outcome{billed_then_failed}`** event (§5.1) — it is not a
+`render_fail` reason.
 
 **G4e — Fallback trigger.** Opt-in
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`). Renders only after a
-terminal `gam_empty` **unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle** (G4a) —
-ownership does not gate it (adopted slots are the common path and are
-eligible); publisher-initiated or unattributable cycles never trigger it;
-timeouts never render. The direct renderer is converted to an awaitable API
-with cancellation and terminal reasons before the fallback lands.

 **G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** The non-GPT path
-(`core/request.ts:52`) gets the same discipline: a `RenderAttempt` keyed
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)` where `refresh_gen` increments per

-  startup error. No default-omission rollback rules.
-- **Assets:** hash-in-pathname (`/static/tsjs/<hash>/<name>.js`) for cache
-  identity; binaries serve only embedded current-release artifacts; unknown
-  hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`; `Cache-Control: immutable` on exact matches.
-  Concatenations precomputed per **ordered module-ID vector** at build time.
-  The cutover runbook (§0) owns HTML/asset consistency; the CDN purge step is
-  what retires old references.
-- **Internal route isolation (all adapters):** the renderer, client-events,
-  and CSP-report route families (a) dispatch **before** auth, EC setup, and
-  publisher/integration filters (today the renderer can traverse EC setup and
-  pre-route filters, `app.rs:709` in the Fastly adapter); (b) reserve **all
-  methods and all version prefixes** locally — unsupported method →
-  deterministic `405` with `Allow` and `no-store`; unknown version → `404`
-  `no-store`; never the publisher fall-through some adapters use today
-  (`adapter-spin app.rs:804`); (c) never forward bodies, cookies, or
-  authorization headers to publisher origins; (d) compare origins as

+generation first, so a reversed-arrival response can never replace a newer
+creative or start a second economic lifecycle (`request.ts:31` currently

+  not a build-time-only set, since enabled vectors are runtime
+  configuration; an unlisted vector is a startup error.
+- Internal route families (renderer, client-events, CSP reports): dispatch

+  and pre-route filters first, `app.rs:709`); all methods and version
+  prefixes reserved locally (405 + `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown version

+`pagehide`. Client queue bound 256 events; overflow drops oldest and emits
+`client_queue_overflow{dropped}`.
 
 ### 5.3 Signed trace authorization
 
-Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`:
-
-- `kid`: key id; **active and previous keys** live in the platform secret
-  store; keys are ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG values; rotation = introduce new key as
-  active, demote, retire. **Missing-key startup behavior:** if the beacon is
-  enabled and no signing key resolves at startup, startup fails loudly
-  (config error) — traces are never issued unsigned.
-- `exp`: unix epoch seconds; verifier allows ±60 s skew; maximum future
-  15 minutes from issuance.
-- `mode`: `sampled` | `diagnostic`. Sampling is server-decided (G1);
-  diagnostic is a distinct authenticated mode gated by the tester cookie at
-  issuance — not an overloaded "sampling off" bit.
-- `sig`: HMAC-SHA-256 over the **domain-separated, length-prefixed** input
-  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || len(origin) || origin || len(trace_id) || trace_id
-|| len(mode) || mode || u64(exp)`, where `origin` is the externally visible
-  scheme+host+port. Constant-time comparison.
-- Ingest verifies per trace group; a missing key id, expired, future-dated,
-  or invalid signature → that **group** is dropped-and-counted (other groups
-  in the batch survive). An unsigned `sampled` claim does not exist in the
-  wire format, so it cannot be asserted.
+Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>` — **`auth` has its own ingest bound of
+256 bytes** (it cannot fit the general 64-char string cap; every other
+string keeps 64):
+
+- `kid`: `^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; active + previous keys in the platform secret
+  store; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG; **previous keys are retained at least
+  24 hours** (≫ max token lifetime + skew); missing key at startup with the
+  beacon enabled = startup failure.
+- `exp`: canonical decimal unix seconds (no sign, no leading zeros); ±60 s
+  skew; max future 15 min.
+- `mode`: `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic`. **`unsampled` is the signed
+  discard decision** (the review's missing state): the client must not
+  enqueue or transmit events for an `unsampled` trace, and ingest rejects
+  any group whose token mode is `unsampled`; the decision is sticky for the
+  trace (renewals preserve mode). `diagnostic` is a distinct authenticated
+  mode — **not** gated by the tester cookie, which is explicitly
+  non-security (`tester_cookie.rs:3`); it requires a separate short-lived
+  **diagnostic credential** issued behind the existing operator/admin
+  authentication (`/_ts/admin` surface): HMAC-signed, bound to publisher
+  origin, expiry ≤ 60 min, revoked by key rotation, issuance
+  CSRF-protected; forgery/replay tests required. The tester cookie may
+  still gate cosmetic overlays; never telemetry volume.
+- `sig`: base64url, unpadded, of HMAC-SHA-256 (43 chars) over the
+  domain-separated input
+  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || u32be(len(origin)) || origin ||
+u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id || u32be(len(mode)) || mode ||
+u64be(exp)`, all strings UTF-8; constant-time comparison.
+- **Renewal for long-lived pages:** before expiry the client calls
+  same-origin `GET /_ts/trace-auth` with `X-TSJS-Trace-Id`; the server
+  re-signs the **same trace id and mode** with a fresh `exp` (correlation is
+  the unchanged trace id). On renewal failure the client stops transmitting
+  and counts locally — silent rejection at ingest is thereby a bug, not a
+  policy.
+- Ingest verifies per trace group; invalid/expired/unknown-kid → group
+  dropped-and-counted; other groups survive.
 
 ### 5.4 Ingest contract

 - Same-origin: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present, else normalized
   `Origin` equality; absent both → drop-and-count.
-- **Rate limiting (numeric, fail-closed for telemetry):** token bucket per
-  client address, **10 requests/min, burst 20**; limiter map ≤ 65,536
-  entries, entry TTL 10 min, LRU eviction; limiter unavailable/errored →
-  drop early with `204` (count only). Trusted client address per adapter:
-  Fastly — platform client IP; Axum — rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
-  beyond required `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent config → socket peer only);
-  Cloudflare — `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin — platform client address.
-
-### 5.5 Sink and deduplication
-
-- Stable event key `(publisher, trace_id, seq)`; deduplication at the sink
-  or query layer (Tinybird: latest-write or `GROUP BY` on the key), covering
-  fetch/pagehide double-delivery.
+- **Rate limiting via an adapter abstraction** (the review is right that a
+  cross-request in-memory token bucket cannot exist on Fastly, `app.rs:146`):
+  trait `ClientEventLimiter` with a declared per-adapter backing and
+  semantics — Fastly: the platform edge counter (`rate_limiter.rs:40`),
+  fixed 60 s window, limit 20/window (documented approximation of
+  10 rpm + burst 20); Axum: real in-process token bucket (10 rpm, burst
+  20), map ≤ 65,536 entries; Cloudflare/Spin: per-isolate/per-instance
+  best-effort with the same parameters. **At capacity, unseen identities
+  are rejected (drop-and-count); active buckets are never evicted by
+  churn.** Limiter unavailable/errored → drop early with `204`. Trusted
+  client address per adapter: Fastly platform client IP; Axum rightmost
+  `X-Forwarded-For` beyond required `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent → socket
+  peer only); Cloudflare `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin platform address.
+
+### 5.5 Sink, canonical views, and monitoring
+
+- Stable event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`.
+- **One named canonical dedup pipe/view per table** (`ts_client_events_v`:
+  latest `received_at` per key; `ts_render_attempts_v`: attempt-grain
+  aggregation keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`). **Joins run
+  at attempt/slot grain against the views, never raw-to-raw** (a raw join on
+  `(publisher_domain, trace_id)` multiplies rows). Dashboards and alerts
+  may query only canonical views.
+- Field naming matches the existing auction rows: **`publisher_domain`**.
 - The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget after dispatch (`tinybird.rs:153`) and
-  cannot observe downstream schema/auth rejection — therefore
-  **datasource-side freshness monitoring is mandatory** (§8 gates alarm on
-  ingestion lag and row-rejection metrics from the datasource side).
+  cannot see downstream rejection — **datasource-side monitoring is
+  mandatory**, driven by **sequence-tagged synthetic heartbeats** from a
+  probe client (accepted rows cannot reveal rejected rows): heartbeat gaps
+  measure rejection; heartbeat lag measures freshness. Alert owner: the
+  release owner's on-call.
 
 ### 5.6 Physical schemas (deployed before writers)
 
-- **New datasource `ts_client_events`** (flattened rows):
-  `ts (DateTime64), publisher (LowCardinality String), release_id (String),
-trace_id (FixedString 32), mode (Enum sampled|diagnostic), nav_gen UInt32,
-refresh_gen UInt32, seq UInt32, event (Enum §5.1), slot (String ≤64),
-id_kind (Enum), matched (UInt8), source (Enum), reason (Enum §5.1)`.
-  Sorting key `(publisher, ts, trace_id, seq)`; 30-day TTL; its own ingest
-  token, configured via new `TinybirdSettings` fields
-  (`client_events_dataset`, `client_events_token_secret`) — today's settings
-  configure only the auction dataset (`settings.rs:1752`). Sink batch cap:
-  512 rows per dispatch (matching the auction sink). Startup validation:
-  when client events are enabled, the dataset name and token secret must
-  resolve or startup fails. Sink-unavailable behavior at runtime:
-  accept-count-drop (ingest still answers `204`). Canonical join:
-  `ts_client_events` ⋈ auction rows on `(publisher, trace_id)`; dashboards
-  and alerts are owned by the release owner and defined with the datasource.
-- **Auction rows** (`AuctionEventRow`, `telemetry.rs:262`, and
-  `auction_events_raw.datasource`): add nullable `trace_id (FixedString 32)`
-  and `mode`; add a bounded **`bid_drop` row type**
-  `{provider, slot, reason (Enum), width UInt16?, height UInt16?, count
-UInt32}` with per-auction row cap 32 and an `overflow` bucket row.
-- APS parsing returns a **structured drop observation**
-  `{reason, slot, width?, height?}` instead of a bare reason string
-  (`aps.rs:722`); dimensions above 8192 use `dimensions_out_of_range` with
-  dimensions omitted, never clamped.
-
-### 5.7 Modes and SLOs
-
-- **Production (sink-backed only):** server-decided 10% sampling.
-  Two separated objectives: **pipeline availability** — ingestion freshness
-  ≤ 5 min and datasource rejection rate < 0.1%, alarmed on breach (fails
-  during sink outages, by design); **failure detection** — a failure mode
-  affecting ≥ 1% of sampled render attempts is visible within one hour,
-  evaluated only at ≥ 10,000 sampled render attempts/hour.
-- **Diagnostic:** authenticated mode (§5.3), unsampled, full stream +
-  console mirroring; one page load names the failing class.
+- **`ts_client_events`**: `received_at DateTime64, publisher_domain
+LowCardinality(String), release_id String, trace_id FixedString(32),

 ## 6. APS delivery fixes
 
-### 6.1 Mediation: complete inline algorithm
-
-Current mediation cannot support merging: it forwards no stable candidate id;
-restores fields via a lossy last-write-wins `(provider, slot, bidder)` index
-(`adserver_mock.rs:95`); breaks equal-price ties by response arrival order
-(`orchestrator.rs:827`); and assigns parsed Prebid bids USD without
-validating response currency (`prebid.rs:2318`). The algorithm below replaces
-that, identically in the synchronous and split dispatch/collect paths, via
-one shared candidate-selection helper.
-
-1. **Candidate registration.** Every direct-provider bid admitted by parsing
-   becomes a candidate with a **server-minted candidate id** (`c` +
-   11-char CSPRNG, unique per auction). The full candidate (renderer, cache
-   coordinates, notification URLs, currency, provenance
-   `(provider, upstream_bid_id)`) is stored by candidate id. Winners are
-   selected **by candidate id** and their fields read from the stored
-   candidate — the lossy index is deleted.
-2. **Currency.** The auction has one configured currency. A provider response
-   that declares another currency, or a path that cannot prove its currency
-   (the Prebid parse point must validate, not assume USD), rejects that bid
-   at parse with `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`. No conversion.
-3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry their candidate id; the
-   mediator is required (wire contract, including `adserver_mock`) to echo it
-   on any bid derived from a forwarded candidate. A mediator bid **without**
-   an echoed id is mediator-native. A mediator bid with an id that does not
-   resolve → **the slot fails closed** for merging
-   (`mediation_provenance_invalid`: mediator-native bids for that slot still
-   compete; unresolvable forwarded claims are discarded and counted — a
-   warning alone is insufficient).
-4. **Floors.** Slot floors filter both populations before selection.
-5. **Dedup.** A mediator bid that echoes candidate id X removes direct
-   candidate X from the pool (it is the same demand, provenance `mediator`).
-6. **Selection.** Per slot, the winner is the maximum under the **total
-   deterministic order**: decoded CPM desc → provenance rank (mediator
-   before direct) → provider name asc → candidate id asc. Response arrival
-   order can never matter.
-7. **Strategy config.** `[auction].winner_selection` is **required whenever a
-   mediator and direct providers coexist** — startup error if absent (no
-   silent default; §0 removes the compatibility rationale for one):
-   `mediator_only` (mediator bids only, direct providers are signal) or
-   `merge_highest_cpm` (the algorithm above). A mediator timeout degrades to
-   direct-only selection and is reported.
-8. **Reporting.** A selection report per auction: `winner_source`,
-   `mediator_superseded`, `currency_mismatch`, `dedup_hits`,
-   `mediation_provenance_invalid` — separate from delivery `bid_drop` rows.
-
-Deal priority remains out of scope: the `Bid` model carries no deal identity
-(`types.rs:231`); a rule the model cannot express would be fiction. Recorded
-as follow-up requiring a bid-model extension.
+### 6.1 Mediation: complete, arrival-independent algorithm
+
+Current code cannot merge: no forwarded candidate id; lossy
+last-write-wins `(provider, slot, bidder)` restoration
+(`adserver_mock.rs:95`); arrival-order ties (`orchestrator.rs:827`); Prebid
+assumes USD (`prebid.rs:2433`) and APS stamps USD (`aps.rs:475`) with no
+configured currency. Replacement, identical in the synchronous and split
+dispatch/collect paths via one shared helper:
+
+1. **Currency.** New required field `[auction].currency` (ISO 4217). Every
+   provider parse validates its response currency against it (absent
+   declaration where the provider contract implies one — APS's USD — is
+   validated as that implied value); mismatch → `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`.
+   No conversion.
+2. **Candidates.** Every admitted bid — direct **and mediator-native** —
+   becomes a candidate. Identity is two-part: `source_candidate_id` =
+   the **intrinsic stable key** `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` (for
+   mediator-native bids: the mediator's provider name and its bid id), and
+   `candidate_id` = a server-minted opaque wire id (`c` + 11-char CSPRNG)
+   used **only** for the mediator echo — never for ordering, so response
+   arrival order cannot influence selection.
+3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry `candidate_id` in the
+   named wire extension **`ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`** (contract for
+   every mediator implementation, `adserver_mock` included); the mediator
+   echoes it on derived bids. Echoed id resolves → the bid is the forwarded
+   candidate with provenance `mediator`; **authoritative fields:** price
+   and deal fields come from the mediator (repricing is its job);
+   render-source fields (renderer, adm, cache coordinates, notification
+   URLs) come from the stored candidate — a mediator that returns its own
+   `adm` for an echoed candidate is treated as mediator-native demand
+   instead. Unresolvable echoed id → the slot **fails closed for merging**
+   (`mediation_provenance_invalid`; mediator-native bids for the slot still
+   compete; the claim is discarded and counted).
+4. **Floors** filter both populations. **Dedup:** an echoed candidate
+   removes its direct twin.
+5. **Selection order (total, intrinsic):** decoded CPM desc → provenance
+   rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc. Winner fields are
+   read from the stored candidate per rule 3.
+6. **Strategy.** `[auction].winner_selection` is **required** whenever a
+   mediator and direct providers coexist (startup error if absent):
+   `mediator_only` or `merge_highest_cpm`. **Timeout behavior is
+   strategy-specific:** under `merge_highest_cpm`, mediator timeout →
+   direct-only selection, reported; under `mediator_only`, mediator timeout
+   → **no winners** (direct bids stay signal-only) unless
+   `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"` is explicitly configured.
+7. **Reporting:** the `selection_summary` row (§5.6) per slot.
+
+Deal priority stays out of scope (the `Bid` model carries no deal identity;
+recorded follow-up).

-2. identify a TS-reserved ad id (registry lookup);
-3. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` **before** any validation —
-   a rejected foreign frame must not be answerable by Prebid's native
-   handler either;
-4. validate source ownership via the bounded walk: known slot-root
-   `WindowProxy` map, sender's own parent chain (`event.source.parent`, …)
-   to depth 5 — never scanning an attacker-controllable frame tree;
-5. validate nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` (G4b);
-6. respond, or refuse with `bridge_id_mismatch`.

-Non-TS ad ids are untouched (no propagation suppression). The stolen-token
-browser test asserts **neither TS nor the native Prebid listener responds**;
-listener-registration ordering has a real-browser assertion. The dead
-duplicate renderer branch (C5) is deleted; renderer branches emit the full
-§5.1 sequence with G4d notifications only on carrying paths.

-
-- `ctx.signal` (aborted on quarantine/disposal); synchronous
-  `ctx.onDispose(fn)` registration; effects must be registered as they are
-  made.
-- **Unwind on failure:** a throw, rejection, or abort triggers automatic
-  reverse-order invocation of the disposers registered so far — partial
-  installs cannot leak effects. Per-disposer exception isolation (one
-  throwing disposer cannot stop the rest).
-- A disposer registered (or returned) **after** the owning session was
-  disposed is invoked immediately.
-- Pending late registrations (manifest requested, bundle not yet evaluated):
-  capacity 16, bound 10 s, then `bundle_partial`.
-- Release matching per G3: a plugin whose `release_id` differs from the
-  kernel's is quarantined before `install` runs.
-- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime: bridge listener, history hook,
-  pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue, **slot cycle state**);
-  `NavigationSession` (per navigation: trace + authorization, render
-  attempts, slot aliases, targeting history); `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle
-  or G4f attempt). Each owns an enumerable disposal inventory; navigation
-  disposes only NavigationSession children.
-- Error policy: no empty `catch` — handle, log with context, or emit a
-  disposition. The auction fetch gains timeout + `AbortController`.
-- **Console logging retained:** every issue-surfacing condition keeps or
-  gains a `log.warn` carrying the same reason code as its beacon event;
-  `debug`-level delivery/security failures are promoted to `warn`.

+  `install`.
+- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page-lifetime: bridge listener + tombstones,
+  history hook, pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue, physical slot
+  cycle/drain state); `NavigationSession` (trace + authorization + renewal
+  timer, render attempts, slot aliases, unissued intents, targeting

 ### 7.7 Bootstrap
 
-`gpt_bootstrap.js` (495 ES5 lines duplicating handoff/initial-load/hydration
-logic, with the live `servicesEnabled` divergence) shrinks to a
-queue-and-flags stub; the bundle replays recorded early calls on install.
-Replay changes observable ordering — it ships inside the cutover with
-browser specs covering replay timing. The no-bundle fallback ("ads render if
-the bundle fails", pinned by `gpt.rs:1174-1179`) is **generated from the
-same TypeScript source** at build time.
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` shrinks to a queue-and-flags stub; the bundle replays

 ### 7.8 GPT correctness carried with the restructure

-the `!servicesEnabled` gate, `gpt/index.ts:1017`; recording idempotent);
-restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery; `changeCorrelator: false`

-services are not already enabled; ambiguous responsive resolution emits
-`render_fail{slot_unresolved}` alongside its warning.

 ### 7.10 Performance (reproducible)
 
-- Bundle budgets: raw/gzip/Brotli per bundle for **three module vectors**
-  (minimal, reference, maximal), compressors pinned (`gzip -9`,
-  `brotli -q 11`), compared to checked-in baseline artifacts
-  (`perf/baselines/*.json`); baseline updates are explicit reviewed diffs.
-  Tolerance +5% bytes.
-- Browser timing (bids-script-to-first-`display()`): named runner image
-  `ubuntu-24.04` (the CI image already used by this repository's workflows)
-  and the Chromium build bundled with the pinned `@playwright/test` version
-  from `package.json`; 5 warm-up runs discarded, 50 samples, gate p90 ≤
-  baseline × 1.10. The baseline artifact records image, browser, and tool
-  versions alongside the numbers; a baseline update is invalid if any of
-  those differ from the pinned set.
-- Server (precomputed concatenation): one-sided gates, CPU and heap ≤
-  baseline × 1.10; improvements always pass. Tool versions pinned in
-  `.tool-versions`.
+- **Dedicated workflow** on a fixed runner (`runs-on: ubuntu-24.04`
+  explicitly — browser CI is `ubuntu-latest` today,
+  `integration-tests.yml:155` — inside a pinned container image digest);
+  browser = the lockfile-resolved `@playwright/test` build with its browser
+  revision recorded in the baseline artifact (the manifest is a caret
+  range today, `browser/package.json:10` — the lockfile + recorded
+  revision are authoritative); compressors pinned by version in the
+  container (`gzip -9 -n` for determinism, `brotli -q 11`).
+- Bundle budgets: raw/gzip/Brotli for three vectors (minimal, reference,
+  maximal) vs checked-in baselines (`perf/baselines/*.json`, updates are
+  reviewed diffs recording image/browser/tool versions); +5% bytes.
+- Browser timing: 5 warm-ups discarded, 50 samples, p90 ≤ baseline × 1.10.
+- **Server benchmark harness (complete):** workload = concatenation +
+  hash of the reference vector; 100 warm-up iterations, 1,000 measured;
+  statistic = median and p90; one-sided gates ≤ baseline × 1.10; variance
+  policy: 3 consecutive runs must agree within 5% or the result is
+  inconclusive (rerun, never pass).
 
 ### 7.11 Toolchain
 
-Raise the TypeScript floor to the resolved 5.9 line (lockfile already
-resolves 5.9.3 under the stale `^5.5.4` manifest); adopt
-`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
-`verbatimModuleSyntax`; dev-toolchain bumps (eslint, prettier, jsdom,
-`@playwright/test`, `@types/node`) as individual CI-gated PRs with changelog
-review (this library monkeypatches `fetch`/`sendBeacon`/DOM prototypes —
-jsdom/Playwright changes are real risks); `prebid.js` excluded from casual
-bumps (runtime Prebid is the manifest-locked external bundle; the npm pin
-and deployed bundle version documented together); monthly review; no phase
-starts more than one minor behind stable.
-
-## 8. Migration plan
-
-Phases are internal build milestones of **one coordinated release** (§0):
-each lands behind a flag in the dark deployment; the cutover switches them
-on together. Gates are executable — every gate names query, cohort,
-denominator, minimum sample, threshold, window, owner (release owner unless
-stated), and action (hold cutover / rollback switch):
-
-- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain.** Path-hashed embedded assets +
-  410 semantics + ordered-vector precompute; `format_version`; §5.6 schemas
-  deployed and validated (writer-off); toolchain floors; dead expando writes
-  deleted; §5.8 server drop surfacing.
-  _Gate:_ dark-instance health 100%; datasource validation green (rejection
-  rate < 0.1% on synthetic writes, freshness ≤ 5 min); asset `410` rate on
-  dark probes = 0 for known hashes.
+TypeScript floor to the resolved 5.9 line; strictness flags on; dev
+toolchain bumps as individual CI-gated PRs; `prebid.js` excluded from
+casual bumps; monthly review.
+
+## 8. Rollout: phases, decision records, and executable gates
+
+Phases are build milestones inside the §0 single-release model (dark pool →
+probe gates → router-weight canary of coherent requests → full weight).
+
+**Phase 0 decision records** (promoted from open questions; each has an
+owner, evidence, a deadline, and an explicit go/no-go): DR-1 mediator
+presence in the affected deployment (OQ1 — decides whether §6.1 gates
+Phase 3 entry); DR-2 script-creative share (OQ2 — decides the §6.3
+guidance priority); DR-3 #922 vs #997 (OQ4 — decides the Phase 3 work
+item); DR-4 mediator candidate-id echo owner and timeline (OQ7 —
+`merge_highest_cpm` is config-blocked until delivered); DR-5 non-Fastly
+sink decision (OQ5 — splits Phase 2's gates below).
+
+**Gates are a checked-in table** (`docs/superpowers/specs/rollout-gates.md`,
+created in Phase 0) with columns: query/test command, assignment key,
+expected positive count, denominator, sample floor, threshold, window,
+owner, hold/rollback action. The real-GAM suite's row includes its workflow
+name, fixture account and credentials owner, invocation command, artifact
+location, retry policy, and required approval evidence. Prose below is the
+summary; the table is normative.
+
+- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain, decisions.** Path-hashed
+  assets + 410 semantics + construction-time concatenation cache;
+  `format_version`; §5.6 schemas deployed writer-off; toolchain floors;
+  dead expando writes deleted; §5.8 drop surfacing; the five decision
+  records; the gates table itself.
 - **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry.** G3
-  registry (exact release ids); RuntimeSession/NavigationSession; install
-  manifest; minimal messaging module; G4a intent/cycle records; unconditional
-  GPT subscriptions.
-  _Gate:_ browser-spec suite green incl. listener-order assertions; zero
-  `abi_mismatch`/`bundle_partial` on dark probes.
-- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** Server-minted initial trace + page-bids
-  header echo + signed authorizations; beacon service; four-adapter ingest;
-  `ts_client_events` writers on.
-  _Gate:_ on dark probes: ingest acceptance ≥ 99%, group auth-rejection
-  < 0.5%, dedup query returns exactly-once per `(trace, seq)`; freshness
-  ≤ 5 min over a 24 h window.
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus (6.7); mediation
-  algorithm + required `winner_selection` (6.1); render token (G2);
-  renderer route + two-stage ack + CSP report route (6.6); bridge order
-  (6.8); G4a–G4f state machines, awaitable renderer, scoped notifications,
-  fallback; #922/#997 restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
-  _Gate (canary cohort vs simultaneous control cohort, 24 h, minimum 10,000
-  sampled attempts each):_ APS `render_accepted` / attributable APS attempts
-  ≥ 95%; renderer-document load rate ≥ 99%; runner failure+timeout ≤ 1%; GAM
-  fill, p95 latency, and billing volume deltas within ±2% of control
-  (billing measured against GAM/server-side reporting, not the beacon);
-  real-GAM overlap test green. Action on breach: hold cutover.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + boundary lint; transactional
-  plugin lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
-  final namespace (7.4).
-  _Gate:_ boundary lint zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests
-  green; pre-cutover page smoke on the final namespace; **behavioral-parity
-  suite green across all four flows** (SSAT, client-Prebid, page-bids,
-  direct `/auction`) comparing pre- and post-restructure event sequences on
-  the reference page.
+  registry; sessions; install manifest; minimal messaging; G4a intent/cycle
+  records; unconditional GPT subscriptions.
+- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** G1 issuance on all three paths (boot,
+  page-bids, `/auction` extension); §5.3 authorization incl. renewal and
+  the diagnostic credential; four-adapter ingest; `ts_client_events`
+  writers on. Gates split per DR-5: **HTTP parity** (all adapters:
+  routing, limits, 204s, method reservations) vs **persistence**
+  (sink-backed only: acceptance, dedup-exactly-once, heartbeat freshness).
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus; §6.1 with required
+  `winner_selection` and `[auction].currency`; render token + tombstones;
+  renderer route + three-message ack + CSP report route; §6.8; G4a–G4f
+  incl. direct-flow `nurl`/`burl` plumbing; fallback; DR-3's attribution
+  restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
+  _Gate (sticky randomized canary/control cohorts, 24 h, ≥ 10,000 sampled
+  attempts each; missing telemetry counts as failure):_ **denominator =
+  all server-observed eligible APS wins**; per-stage rates gated
+  separately — targeting_set/eligible, bridge_request/targeting_set,
+  render_accepted/bridge_response_sent, and `cycle_unattributable` rate
+  < 0.5% (survivorship is thereby visible, not excluded); GAM fill and p95
+  latency as **one-sided non-inferiority** (canary not worse than control
+  by > 2%; improvements pass); billing normalized per attempt and per
+  thousand attempts vs control; a separate **duplicate-billing invariant**
+  (zero double `burl` per idempotency key); real-GAM overlap suite green
+  per its table row.
+- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + both lint rules; plugin
+  lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration; final
+  namespace.
+  _Gate:_ lints zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests; four-flow
+  behavioral parity (SSAT, client-Prebid, page-bids, direct).
 - **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; script-guard
-  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback; then the §0 runbook.
-  _Gate:_ bundle budgets + timing assertions hold; cutover checklist signed
-  off; post-switch monitor window 24 h on the §5.7 objectives; rollback =
-  traffic switch back.
+  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback (with error/hang/
+  fallback-arbitration tests); **four-flow parity reruns here** (it changed
+  bootstrap behavior after Phase 4's parity — the review's ordering
+  point); then the §0 runbook: weight-up, purge, 24 h monitored window,
+  weight-back rollback.

 ## 10. Alternatives considered
 
-1. **Patching APS point-failures without telemetry** — rejected: three
-   correct fixes produced no ads; the next fix would be another guess.
-2. **Always direct-render APS (skip GAM/PUC)** — rejected: unilaterally
-   changes GAM reporting/pacing; kept only as the attributed-`gam_empty`
+1. Patching APS point-failures without telemetry — rejected (four correct
+   fixes, still no reliable ads).
+2. Always direct-render APS — rejected; kept as the attributed-`gam_empty`
    fallback.
-3. **Single module graph / shared chunks now** — rejected for this release:
-   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes; recorded as
-   the successor behind the same registry surface.
-4. **Full rewrite in one branch without phases** — rejected: the browser-spec
-   safety net is thinnest exactly where behavior changes.
-5. **Dropping the ES5 bootstrap** — rejected: loses the pinned no-bundle
-   guarantee; generation from TS keeps it without dual maintenance.
-6. **Timeout-triggered fallback** — rejected: GPT requests cannot be
-   cancelled; a timeout race can double-render and double-bill.
-7. **N/N−1 compatibility machinery** (revisions 3–4) — removed by the §0
-   policy decision: version ranges, retained artifacts, legacy URLs, and
-   dual-name globals deleted in favor of exact release matching and a
-   coordinated switch.
+3. Single module graph now — rejected for this release; successor option.
+4. Big-bang rewrite without phases — rejected (thin safety net).
+5. Dropping the ES5 bootstrap — rejected (loses the no-bundle guarantee);
+   generated fallback keeps it.
+6. Timeout-triggered fallback rendering — rejected (uncancelable GPT
+   requests race late fills).
+7. Timeout-based quarantine re-arm (revision 5) — removed: it recreated
+   the stale-event bug it claimed to fix.
+8. N/N−1 compatibility machinery (revisions 3–4) — removed by the §0
+   policy.
 
 ## 11. Risks
 
-- **Hard cutover blast radius:** in-flight pages fail at switch; accepted by
-  policy (§0); bounded by the purge + 24 h monitored window + traffic-switch
-  rollback.
-- **Mediator wire-contract change** (candidate-id echo) requires
-  coordinating the mediator implementation; until echoed ids exist,
-  `merge_highest_cpm` cannot be enabled (config validation enforces this).
-- **Notification triggers become a published contract** for PBS-path demand;
-  changing them later is a breaking change for SSP reporting.
-- **Beacon abuse:** bounded by pre-parse caps, origin checks, fail-closed
-  numeric rate limits, server-decided sampling, signed authorizations.
-- **Registry/limiter memory:** all client and server maps carry explicit
-  capacities, TTLs, and eviction rules (G2, §5.4).
-- **CSP relaxation:** enforced-cohort canary + new immutable version prevent
-  false-clean canaries; bucketed aggregation prevents cardinality abuse.
-- **Sink blindness:** fire-and-forget dispatch is compensated by mandatory
-  datasource-side freshness/rejection monitoring.
+- Hard-cutover blast radius (accepted; bounded by the §0 runbook).
+- Mediator wire-contract change (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
+  `merge_highest_cpm`.
+- Notification triggers become a published contract for PBS-path demand.
+- Beacon abuse — capped, origin-checked, fail-closed limited, signed
+  modes, credentialed diagnostics.
+- Registry/limiter memory — explicit capacities, TTLs, reject-at-capacity.
+- CSP data is advisory — never a sole rollback signal.
+- Sink blindness — heartbeat-based datasource monitoring.
+- `[auction].currency` and `winner_selection` are new required config in
+  mediated deployments — a deliberate startup-error class under §0.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-1. APS creatives render in each configured flow — SSAT, client-Prebid,
-   page-bids, and direct `/auction` (G4f) — hermetically in CI and in the
-   release-gating real-GAM suite.
-2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; diagnostic mode names the
-   failing class from one page load; §5.7 objectives hold on sink-backed
+1. APS creatives render in each configured flow (SSAT, client-Prebid,
+   page-bids, direct), hermetically and in the release-gating real-GAM
+   suite.
+2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; **diagnostic mode names the
+   failing class from one page load including A1–A4 via the `boot.debug` /
+   response-`debug` envelopes**; §5.7 SLIs hold on sink-backed
    deployments.
-3. Boundary lint zero exceptions; stateful sharing only via the G3 registry;
-   exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.
+3. Lints (both rules) zero exceptions; stateful sharing only via the
+   registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.
 4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
    generated.
-5. Trace counts are per-impression; orphan recovery has a non-vacuous test;
-   cycle attribution follows G4a (physical requests, publisher-overlap
-   quarantine, drain/re-arm).
-6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` with the §7.4 final shape; no
-   expandos on GPT slots, GPT functions, or `pbjs`; legacy names are gone at
-   cutover.
-7. §7.10 budgets hold (three vectors, pinned tools, one-sided server gates).
-8. No existing warning is lost; every issue-surfacing condition logs `warn`+
-   with the beacon's reason code.
-9. TypeScript floor matches the resolved 5.9 line with strictness flags on;
-   `prebid.js` pin matches the documented deployed bundle.
-10. `nurl`/`burl` fire only on carrying paths at their G4d binds,
-    attempt-scoped and idempotent; APS fires neither.
-11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store` by test; authorizations
-    are per-trace, signed, mode-carrying, and never accepted unsigned.
-12. The cutover runbook has been rehearsed (switch, purge, rollback switch)
-    before the production switch.
+5. Attempt counts are keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`
+   (traces stay navigation-scoped); no double counting; orphan recovery
+   has a non-vacuous test; G4a holds including the no-timeout-re-arm rule.
+6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` (§7.4 final shape); no
+   expandos; legacy names gone at cutover.
+7. §7.10 budgets hold on the dedicated pinned workflow.
+8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+ with
+   the beacon reason code.
+9. TypeScript floor matches resolved 5.9; `prebid.js` pin documented with
+   the deployed bundle.
+10. `nurl`/`burl` only on carrying paths at their G4d binds, idempotent
+    per attempt; APS fires neither; duplicate-billing invariant holds.
+11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store`; authorizations are
+    per-trace, signed, mode-carrying (`sampled|unsampled|diagnostic`),
+    renewal-capable; unsampled traces transmit nothing.
+12. The cutover runbook rehearsed (weight switch, purge, rollback).
 
 ## 13. Open questions
 
-1. Is a mediator configured in the affected production deployment?
-2. What share of live APS demand is `tagtype: "script"`?
-3. Should `client_render_fallback` ever become default-on for publishers
-   without GAM line items for `hb_bidder=aps`?
-4. Is PR #997 the intended restoration of the lost #922 attribution core, or
-   should the original be re-merged?
-5. Do Axum/Cloudflare/Spin get real client-event sinks, or keep
-   accept-count-drop?
-6. Does Amazon expose any creative-completion acknowledgement that could add
-   a confirmed state beyond `render_accepted` under a new name?
-7. Who implements and owns the mediator-side candidate-id echo (6.1), and on
-   what timeline relative to this release?
+Promoted to Phase 0 decision records: mediator presence (DR-1),
+script-creative share (DR-2), #922 vs #997 (DR-3), candidate-id echo owner
+(DR-4), non-Fastly sinks (DR-5). Remaining open: does Amazon expose any
+creative-completion acknowledgement that could add a post-`render_accepted`
+state under a new name (future enhancement)?

Subject: [PATCH 212/494] Revise design spec for the sixth review round

Revision 7: renewal presents and verifies the current signed
authorization so mode survives without server state, sampling becomes
a deterministic keyed function, the diagnostic credential gets a
complete issuance/transport/expiry protocol with the tester cookie
scoped to debug content only, /_ts/trace-auth joins the isolated
route families, sticky-cohort release affinity makes canary requests
coherent end to end, the server auction_id is echoed into client
events for attempt-grain joins with release_id as the cohort
discriminator, a closed flow field drives per-flow funnel gates, the
reservation store caps the live-plus-tombstone union and never evicts
unexpired ids, zero-request display intents are retired for any
caller with a symmetric ambiguity rule, the acknowledgement protocol
is specified for all four render paths, bootstrap ownership becomes
transactional with inert-install and commit, CSP ingest gets concrete
bounds and physical schemas alongside ts_ops_counters, heartbeats
become a first-class probe-mode event, telemetry settings split
collection from sink with lazy secret initialization everywhere,
mediation gains required-unique upstream ids with deterministic
fingerprints and closes its authoritative-field contradictions,
assets pre-materialize at release publication, notification_sent
makes the duplicate-burl invariant observable, one terminal state per
attempt, per-reason source nullability, gam_collapsed carries its
action, the final surface adds definePlugin, lint moves to
member-expression rules, performance gains marks/vectors/heap
budgets, TypeScript flags are enumerated, mid-attempt kill-switch
semantics are defined, DR-2 becomes a deployment decision, the
Phase-3 gate reruns on the immutable Phase-5 candidate, and the
normative gates table ships as Appendix A of this one file. The
baseline APS fixes are adopted as contracts and re-implemented in the
target architecture with their browser tests as the conformance pin.

 ## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
 
-This design targets a **single coordinated release**:
+One coordinated release:
 
-- Server, TSJS bundles, config format, and page HTML ship together under one
-  **`release_id`** (git tag / build hash). **No N/N−1 support**: old pages,
-  bundles, config blobs, globals, and URLs may stop working at cutover;
-  in-flight clients may fail. Accepted and stated, not mitigated.
-- **Exact release matching only** — kernel, services, plugins, and the
-  install manifest carry the same `release_id`; mismatch is a refusal.
-- **Config:** top-level `format_version`, exact match required. Rollback =
+- Server, TSJS bundles, config, and HTML ship under one **`release_id`**.
+  **No N/N−1**; in-flight clients may fail at cutover — accepted and stated.
+- **Exact release matching**; config `format_version` exact-match; rollback =
   redeploy the previous release with its own config.
-- **Assets:** binaries embed only their release's artifacts; hashed pathnames
-  exist for cache identity only; unknown hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`.
-- **One executable rollout state machine** (resolving the §0/§8 tension the
-  review found): a release ships with a **deployment manifest** enumerating
-  the complete flag set; the new pool comes up **fully enabled but
-  unreachable except by probes**; phase gates (§8) run against probe traffic
-  and a **router-weight canary of coherent routed requests** (a request is
-  served end-to-end by one pool — HTML, assets, and APIs never mix pools);
-  **router weight is the sole activation primitive**; cutover = weight to
-  100% + CDN purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge. Flags exist for
-  emergency kill switches inside a pool, not as the activation mechanism.
+- **Config is a release-time input** under this policy: the config blob and
+  binary publish together, so the enabled module vectors are known at
+  release publication (this powers §G5 asset materialization).
+- Assets: embedded only; hashed pathnames for cache identity; unknown hash
+  → `410`, `no-store`.
+- **Rollout state machine with release affinity.** A deployment manifest
+  binds each pool to immutable `{release_id, config_store, config_key,
+config_hash}` (rollback binding prevalidated). The new pool comes up fully
+  enabled, reachable only by probes. Canarying uses a **sticky cohort
+  token**: the router assigns `ts-rel=<release_id>` on the HTML response,
+  routes every subsequent request (assets, APIs, beacons) by it, and cache
+  keys include it — router weights alone apply per request and would mix
+  pools, so affinity is what makes a canary request **coherent** end to end.
+  Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive; flags
+  are in-pool emergency kill switches only. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN
+  purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge.
 
 ## 1. Problem statement
 
-APS demand is fully integrated server-side — the edge runs the APS OpenRTB
-auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer descriptor to the page — yet
-APS creatives do not appear reliably for real users. Four serial fixes (the
-`bid.meta` carrier, the decoupled prebid shim, the `hb_adid` fallback, and
-now the baseline's PUC/collapsed-shell fix) each survived review; the pattern
-is the finding: the pipeline has **multiple independent failure points, most
-of which fail silently**, and the client cannot tell the server which fired.

 ## 2. Why APS does not render — evidence
 
 Flows: (a) SSAT via `window.tsjs.bids`; (b) GAM + client `trustedServer`
-Prebid adapter; (c) SPA `/_ts/page-bids`; (d) direct `/auction`
-`tsjs.requestAds`. Only (d) — unused in production — renders an APS
-descriptor without GAM.

 ### 2.5 Failure → signal mapping (normative)
 
-Each failure maps to a distinct observable **failure class** (not a claim to
-distinguish unknowable root causes). The operator query for each row is the
-§5.6 canonical view filtered by that row's event/reason or counter. So that
-**diagnostic mode really can name every class from one page load** — the
-review's objection that A1–A4 are server-side-only — the tester gate also

-summary + drop summary for the initial auction) and the equivalent gated
-`ext.trusted_server.debug` field on page-bids and `/auction` responses;

 ## 4. Design gates
 
-### G1 — Trace identity and correlation
-
-The client-visible auction id is EC-derived (`publisher.rs:3237`) and never
-ingested. Initial-HTML auction telemetry is emitted before page JS exists
-(`telemetry.rs:148`, `publisher.rs:2452`), so correlation is minted by
-whoever acts first:
-
-- **Initial navigation (`nav_gen 0`):** the server mints `trace_id` (128-bit
-  CSPRNG, `^[0-9a-f]{32}$`), writes it into that response's auction rows,
-  and injects it into `tsjs.boot` with the signed authorization (§5.3).
-- **Cache-privacy invariant:** traces/authorizations are injected only into
-  responses that ran a per-request auction; such HTML is
-  `Cache-Control: private, no-store`, no validators. By construction + test.
-- **SPA navigations:** `/_ts/page-bids` stays GET; the client mints
-  `trace_id`, sends it in `X-TSJS-Trace-Id`; the server records it and the
-  response echoes the trace + its authorization.
-- **Direct `/auction` (closing the G4f gap):** the client sends the same
-  `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` header on the POST (`core/auction.ts:190` gains it); the
-  server validates, stamps that auction's rows, and echoes
-  `ext.trusted_server.trace = {trace_id, auth}` in the OpenRTB response —
-  covering pages whose initial HTML ran no auction.
-- **Envelope:** every event carries `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq}` inside a
-  per-trace group `{trace_id, auth, events[]}`. `seq` is per-trace
-  monotonic. Gaps (loss) and duplicates (fetch/pagehide races) are expected;
-  §5.5 dedups.
-- **Sampling is server-decided for every trace** and carried inside the
-  signed authorization (§5.3). Traces are navigation-scoped; **impression /
-  attempt counts are keyed by `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`**
-  (success criterion 5 uses this key, not "per-impression traces").
+### G1 — Trace identity, sampling, and correlation
+
+- Client-visible auction id (EC-derived, `publisher.rs:3237`) is never
+  ingested. Initial-HTML telemetry precedes page JS, so correlation is
+  minted by whoever acts first: server for `nav_gen 0` (trace + signed
+  authorization in `tsjs.boot`); client afterwards, via `X-TSJS-Trace-Id`
+  on page-bids (GET) and on the `/auction` POST, echoed back with the
+  signed authorization (`ext.trusted_server.trace = {trace_id, auth,
+auction_id}` on JSON/OpenRTB responses).
+- **Sampling is a deterministic keyed function**, not a coin flip:
+  `mode = sampled iff HMAC(sampling_key, trace_id) < sample_rate` — so
+  concurrent requests presenting the same trace always derive the same
+  mode, and first issuance needs no shared state (Fastly is per-request,
+  §3.13).
+- **Cross-tier join key (closing the row-multiplication gap):** the server
+  echoes its telemetry `auction_id` to the client (boot / response
+  extensions); the client stamps `auction_id` on every event of attempts
+  born from that auction. Server rows additionally carry `release_id`.
+  Canonical joins run on `(publisher_domain, trace_id, auction_id, slot,
+refresh_gen)` at attempt grain; canary/control comparison uses the
+  server-side `release_id`.
+- Cache-privacy invariant: traces/authorizations only in per-request
+  auction-bearing responses; such HTML is `private, no-store`.
+- Envelope: per-trace groups `{trace_id, auth, events[]}`; events carry
+  `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq, flow, auction_id?}`. **`flow` is a closed
+  field** `ssat | prebid | page_bids | direct | fallback` set by the
+  attempt owner — the per-flow funnels in the gates table depend on it.
+- Traces are navigation-scoped; attempt counts key on
+  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`.
 
 ### G2 — Render identity
 
-- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = PBS Cache UUID byte-for-byte
-  (`publisher.rs:3355`; PUC fetches `?uuid=`, `gpt/index.ts:1772`). Markup
-  bids: today's fallback chain.
-- **Renderer-only bids:** `hb_adid` = server-minted token `^[a-z0-9]{12}$`,
-  CSPRNG, collision-retried within the minting auction; cross-auction
-  uniqueness probabilistic (36¹²; negligible) and harmless via scoping.
-- **Registry:** keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen)`; capacity 64 live
-  entries per navigation (`registry_full` on refusal); TTL 15 min; one-time
-  consumption. **Navigation disposal does not erase security state**
-  (review's tombstone finding): consumed, stale, and disposed ids move into
-  a bounded **RuntimeSession tombstone set** (cap 256, FIFO, entries retained
-  until their original TTL) — the bridge's TS-reserved check consults live
-  registry **and** tombstones, so a late prior-navigation request is still
-  suppressed and refused, never released to native Prebid. This preserves
-  the baseline's existing consumed-id tombstone behavior
-  (`gpt/index.ts:1527`).
-- The client-Prebid path keeps Prebid's `adId`; both paths share the one
-  registry. Non-APS cache-path regression tests.
-
-### G3 — Runtime ABI under the IIFE build (exact-release)
-
-IIFE-per-bundle with inlined imports (`build-all.mjs:46`, `bundle.rs:23`)
-means imports never share state across bundles (live defect:
-`core/context.ts:11` vs `permutive/index.ts:102`).
-
-- Kernel ships only in `tsjs-core`; publishes
-  `tsjs._internal = { release_id, registry }` once; freezes after boot;
-  constructs and registers core services during boot.
-- **Exact release matching:** every registration carries `release_id`
-  (plugins via the object-form API, §7.6, whose `release` field is a
-  build-generated constant); `registry.get(name)` succeeds only on equality;
-  mismatch quarantines with `abi_mismatch` / `bundle_partial` and a console
-  error.
-- Stateful access only via the registry at call time; stateless helpers may
-  inline. Boundary enforcement is **two lint rules**: `import/no-restricted-
-paths` for layering **and** `no-restricted-globals` forbidding
-  `window.googletag` / `window.pbjs` outside `adapters/` (import paths alone
-  cannot enforce §7.1).
+- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = PBS Cache UUID byte-for-byte. Markup bids:
+  existing fallback chain. Renderer-only bids: server-minted token
+  `^[a-z0-9]{12}$`, CSPRNG, in-auction collision retry, TTL 15 min,
+  one-time consumption.
+- **Registry + tombstones, one capacity, no unexpired eviction:** the
+  bridge-reservation store holds live registrations and tombstones
+  (consumed / stale / navigation-disposed ids) in one bounded structure —
+  **capacity 320 for the union**; expired entries are pruned; **unexpired
+  entries are never evicted**; when the union is at capacity, **new
+  registration is refused** with `registry_full`. A late prior-navigation
+  bridge request therefore always meets suppression until its id's original
+  TTL passes (preserving `gpt/index.ts:1527`). Test: >320 registrations,
+  then a late request for the oldest unexpired id.
+- Client-Prebid keeps Prebid's `adId`; one store serves both paths.
+
+### G3 — Runtime ABI (exact-release)
+
+- Kernel only in `tsjs-core`; publishes
+  `tsjs._internal = {release_id, registry}`; frozen after boot; core
+  services constructed at boot; plugins register via the object-form API
+  (§7.6) whose `release` is a build-generated constant; `registry.get`
+  succeeds only on `release_id` equality; mismatch quarantines
+  (`abi_mismatch`/`bundle_partial`) with a console error.
+- Boundary enforcement: `import/no-restricted-paths` for layering plus
+  **`no-restricted-properties`/`no-restricted-syntax`** rules covering
+  `window`, `globalThis`, `self`, and local aliases for `googletag`/`pbjs`
+  access outside `adapters/` (`no-restricted-globals` cannot catch member
+  expressions). Adapters are the only access to **external ad-tech
+  globals**; the kernel and messaging module necessarily touch
+  `window.tsjs`, listeners, and `postMessage`.
 
 ### G4 — Render lifecycle
 
-**G4a — Physical request-cycle protocol.**
-
-- **Intents, both classes, one causal queue.** Every observable initiation —
-  TS `display()`/`refresh()` and wrapped publisher entries — records an
-  intent in causal order, classified `ts | publisher`. A TS `display()`
-  issued while initial load is disabled is **known at call time to produce
-  no request** and is retired immediately as bookkeeping (it never enters
-  the matcher) — closing the review's misattribution case where a publisher
-  `refresh()` inside the 2 s window would have been consumed by a stale TS
-  intent. TS intents that _may_ produce no request only in hindsight
-  (`refresh()` on a never-displayed adopted slot) expire at 2 s with
-  `intent_no_request`; **if any publisher intent is recorded for the slot
-  while such a TS intent is pending, the next `slotRequested` is ambiguous
-  and the slot quarantines** — a zero-request TS intent can never silently
-  win FIFO matching. (Exact test in §9.)
-- **Cycles:** opened only by `slotRequested`, matched to the head of the
-  causal intent queue; SRA batching yields one `slotRequested` per slot per
-  batch. A cycle closes on its `slotRenderEnded`; `responseIdentifier`
-  deduplicates responses during drain.
-- **Serialization:** at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot; one queued
-  TS replacement (later intents coalesce).
-- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one TS
-  cycle is outstanding and no publisher/untracked request overlaps.
-  Overlap → quarantine (`cycle_unattributable`, fail closed).
-- **Drain/re-arm (no timeout re-arm).** Physical cycle and drain state live
-  in the RuntimeSession slot record; **unissued intents are
-  NavigationSession children** and are cancelled by navigation disposal. A
-  quarantined or stale slot re-arms only on: count-based drain (every
-  outstanding request/render pair matched), safe TS-owned slot destruction
-  and redefinition, or page end. **A timeout emits a diagnostic and never
-  restores attribution** — the 60 s bound from revision 5 is removed
-  because an old `slotRenderEnded` arriving after re-arm would be
-  indistinguishable from a new cycle. Late stale events are matched and
-  discarded (`stale_navigation`).
-- CI exercises the protocol on the deterministic harness; a release-gating
-  **real-GAM overlap test** (publisher refresh racing a TS cycle;
-  initial-load-disabled formation) validates it against actual GPT.
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement protocol (on the baseline port transport).** Since
-`248fe9558` the frame pair speaks MessageChannel (parent-postMessage with
-`ports.length === 0`, or transferred port with `ports.length === 1`;
-exact-key replies; one-shot `accepted` latch; port closed after reply —
-`aps.rs:65-125`, `aps/render.ts:415-437`). Adopted as the contract of record
-within the frame pair. The kernel-observability gap remains (the PUC-flow
-reply resolves inside the creative frame; callbacks fire on send,
-`gpt/index.ts:1632-1760`). Contract — **three authenticated messages per
-attempt**, each carrying the per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG nonce from the
-bridge response:
-
-1. `renderer_document_loaded` — posted to the top window after the document
-   validates the descriptor and nonce (this is §6.6's first stage, which
-   revision 5's two-message protocol omitted);
-2. the port reply to its frame-pair peer (baseline behavior, unchanged);
-3. `render_accepted` / `render_failed{reason}` — posted to the top window.
-
-The kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8 walk), nonce, token,
-`nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — before any state transition or notification. The
-one-shot latch + port close mean a re-render is a fresh document instance
-with a fresh nonce. Pinned for SSAT, client-Prebid, and nested SafeFrame,
-including stale/replayed acks and acks after navigation disposal.
-
-**G4c — Honest observations.** Inline-adm frames are sandboxed `srcdoc`
-without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:510`) — opaque; geometry proves
-nothing (the shell dimensions are assigned by our own code). Observations:
-`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, **`gam_collapsed`** (nonempty render whose
-shell computes ≤ 1px — the baseline's discovery), `renderer_document_loaded`,
-`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. Every path
-terminates at `render_accepted`; **no observation claims paint**; there is
-no `render_confirmed`. The baseline's `resizeCollapsedCreativeFrame`
-(`gpt/index.ts:217`) is adopted as a **sanctioned, guarded exception** to
-the no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule (authenticated source frame only; wrapper
-only when both dimensions ≤ 1px; anchor-ad `ins[data-anchor-status]` and
-fixed/sticky guards) and emits `gam_collapsed` when it acts.
-
-**G4d — Win/billing notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
-by design (`aps.rs:839`; the AAX envelope excludes them; the integration
-guide documents no generic APS beacons) — APS billing lives in the Amazon
-runner lifecycle, unchanged, and **APS is excluded from everything below**.
-
-For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB providers): bind is per flow and
-never selection or targeting (`ad_init.test.ts:1824` pins that):
-
-- GAM/PUC: an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim.
-- Direct `/auction`: validated render start. **This requires server and
-  client work the current code lacks**: `/auction` response conversion must
-  preserve `nurl`/`burl` with server-side macro expansion
-  (`formats.rs:423` omits them today) and the client parser must carry and
-  https-validate them (`core/auction.ts:43` drops them today).
-- Fallback: attributed `gam_empty`, immediately before fallback render.
-
-`nurl` at bind; `burl` at `render_accepted`; attempt-scoped idempotency key
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen, hb_adid)`; `sendBeacon`/no-cors
-fetch; no retries. Post-acceptance terminal failure emits the dedicated
-**`billing_outcome{billed_then_failed}`** event (§5.1) — it is not a
-`render_fail` reason.
-
-**G4e — Fallback trigger.** Opt-in
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`); renders only after a
-terminal `gam_empty` unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle; ownership does
-not gate it; publisher-initiated or unattributable cycles never trigger it;
-timeouts never render.
-
-**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** The non-GPT path
-(`core/request.ts:52`) gets: a `RenderAttempt` keyed
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)` with `refresh_gen` incremented per
-`requestAds` invocation touching the slot; **per-slot serialization with
-latest-wins cancellation** — concurrent calls for the same slot cancel the
-older attempt, and every DOM or beacon side effect re-checks its attempt
-generation first, so a reversed-arrival response can never replace a newer
-creative or start a second economic lifecycle (`request.ts:31` currently
-races); G4b acknowledgement validation; G4d direct-flow binds; disposal on
-navigation; exactly-once terminal state; the full §5.1 event sequence.
-`tsjs.requestAds(options)` returns
-`Promise<RequestAdsResult>` where
-`RequestAdsResult = { traceId, slots: Array<{ slot, outcome: "rendered" |
-"no_bid" | "failed" | "cancelled", reason? }> }`, settling when every slot
-attempt reaches a terminal state. Reversed-response tests required.
+**G4a — Physical request cycles.**
+
+- Intents recorded for both classes (`ts | publisher`) in one causal queue.
+  **Any `display()` issued while initial load is disabled is retired at
+  issuance regardless of caller** (GPT's no-request behavior is
+  caller-independent, §3.8) — a stale publisher `display()` intent can no
+  more poison a later TS `refresh()` match than the reverse. Hindsight
+  zero-request intents (`refresh()` on a never-displayed slot) expire at
+  2 s with `intent_no_request`; while one is pending, any opposite-class
+  intent makes the next `slotRequested` ambiguous → quarantine. The
+  ambiguity rule is symmetric.
+- Cycles open only on `slotRequested`, matched to the causal queue head;
+  SRA yields one per slot per batch; cycles close on `slotRenderEnded`;
+  `responseIdentifier` dedups during drain.
+- One outstanding TS cycle per slot; one queued replacement (coalescing).
+- Attribution requires exactly one outstanding TS cycle and no overlap;
+  otherwise quarantine (`cycle_unattributable`), fail closed.
+- **No timeout re-arm.** Re-arm only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned
+  destroy/redefine, or page end. Unissued intents are NavigationSession
+  children; physical cycle/drain state is RuntimeSession.
+- Deterministic-harness CI plus the release-gating real-GAM suite (scope
+  enumerated in the gates table: per-flow topologies, expected sequences,
+  browsers, fixtures, commands, artifacts, approvals — success criterion 1
+  refers to that enumeration).
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement, specified per render path.** Four normative
+sequences; each names its nonce/token producer, transport into the owned
+frame, authenticated acceptance observation, cancellation, and separate
+document/runner deadlines (document 3 s, runner 10 s, adm 5 s):
+
+1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): bridge mints the per-attempt 128-bit
+   nonce; MessageChannel into the renderer document (`ports.length`
+   checks, exact-key replies, one-shot latch, port close); the document
+   posts authenticated `renderer_document_loaded` then
+   `render_accepted | render_failed{reason}` **to the top window**; the
+   kernel validates source ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`,
+   `refresh_gen` before transitions or notifications.
+2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC**: the bridge's display renderer creates the
+   sandboxed adm frame with an injected reporter snippet; the reporter
+   posts authenticated `adm_document_loaded{nonce}` to the top window on
+   document load; acceptance = that message (baseline merely appends an
+   iframe with no observation).
+3. **Direct APS** (`renderApsCreative`): the kernel is the frame parent —
+   the baseline parent-postMessage handshake (`ports.length === 0` branch)
+   is already kernel-observed; same three messages, same validation.
+4. **Direct ADM/cache**: as (2), with the kernel as parent.
+
+Cancellation for all four: navigation/supersession invalidates the nonce;
+late acks are discarded with `stale_navigation`.
+
+**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal state.** Observations:
+`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded,
+reason}` (observation and remediation are separate — a guarded anchor/fixed
+case is still observed), `renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`,
+`runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. **An attempt has exactly one
+terminal state: `accepted | failed{reason} | no_bid | cancelled`.**
+Post-acceptance runner failure is an observation plus the
+`billing_outcome{billed_then_failed}` event — never a second terminal
+transition. No observation claims paint. The baseline resize is a
+sanctioned, guarded exception to the no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule.
+
+**G4d — Notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
+(`aps.rs:839`); excluded entirely. For carrying paths: bind per flow — PUC:
+owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim; direct: validated render start
+(server must preserve + macro-expand `nurl`/`burl` in `/auction`
+responses — `formats.rs:423` omits them — and the client must parse and
+https-validate them — `core/auction.ts:43` drops them); fallback:
+attributed `gam_empty` immediately before render. `nurl` at bind, `burl`
+at `accepted`. **Economic identity is the normalized pair
+`(id_kind, id_value)`** (direct attempts without `hb_adid` use
+`bid_id`), idempotency key
+`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)`. **Every
+dispatch emits `notification_sent{kind: nurl|burl, id_key_hash, result:
+queued | failed}`** where `id_key_hash` is a 16-hex truncated HMAC of the
+idempotency key — making the duplicate-`burl` invariant observable in
+production (the gates table queries zero duplicates per key hash); external
+billing reconciliation remains the authoritative backstop. No retries.
+
+**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in; renders only on a terminal `gam_empty`
+unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle; ownership does not gate;
+publisher-initiated or unattributable never triggers; timeouts never
+render.
+
+**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** `RenderAttempt` keyed
+`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; per-slot latest-wins with
+cancellation; generation checks before every DOM/beacon effect
+(`request.ts:31` races today); G4b sequence 3/4; G4d direct binds;
+disposal on navigation; single terminal state;
+`tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>` with
+`RequestAdsResult = {traceId, slots: [{slot, outcome: "rendered" |
+"no_bid" | "failed" | "cancelled", reason?}]}`.
+
+**G4g — Mid-attempt configuration.** An attempt **snapshots its
+configuration at creation**. The in-pool emergency kill switch cancels
+attempts that have not yet passed their commit point — defined as
+`bridge_response_sent` (PUC flows) or first DOM insertion (direct/fallback
+flows); attempts past commit run to their terminal state; dispatched
+notifications are never recalled.
 
 ### G5 — Deployment contracts
 
-- Config `format_version` exact-match; rollback by redeploy.
-- Assets: hash-in-pathname; embedded only; unknown hash 410 `no-store`;
-  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable` on exact matches
-  (`immutable` alone carries no lifetime). **Concatenation is materialized
-  and cached at application-state construction from the validated
-  configured module vector** — not per request (`bundle.rs:23` today), and
-  not a build-time-only set, since enabled vectors are runtime
-  configuration; an unlisted vector is a startup error.
-- Internal route families (renderer, client-events, CSP reports): dispatch
-  before auth/EC/publisher/integration filters (Fastly today runs EC setup
-  and pre-route filters first, `app.rs:709`); all methods and version
-  prefixes reserved locally (405 + `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown version
-  404 `no-store`; never the publisher fall-through in `adapter-spin
-app.rs:804`); no body/cookie/authorization forwarding; origins compared
-  as normalized scheme+host+port.
-- Ingest routes exist in all four adapters; Fastly has the real sink; the
-  others accept-count-drop (OQ5 drives their gates).
+- Config `format_version`; release-time config (§0).
+- **Assets pre-materialized at release publication:** because config ships
+  with the release, the validated module vectors are known when the release
+  is built — concatenated bytes + hashes are produced then and embedded;
+  serving is lookup-only on every adapter (Fastly's per-request state,
+  §3.13, makes construction-time caching meaningless there — the previous
+  revision's claim is corrected). The §7.10 server benchmark measures the
+  lookup path and guards against regression to per-request concatenation.
+  Unknown vector = release-build error; unknown hash = `410`, `no-store`;
+  exact match = `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`.
+- **Internal route families — now four:** renderer, client-events,
+  CSP-report, **and `/_ts/trace-auth`** — dispatch before auth/EC/
+  publisher/integration filters; all methods reserved locally (405 +
+  `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown versions 404 `no-store`; never publisher
+  fall-through); no body/cookie/authorization forwarding; normalized
+  scheme+host+port origin comparison; each family rate-limited (§5.4) and
+  covered by four-adapter parity tests.

+**Heartbeats** are sent by identified probes under mode `probe` (§5.3):

+
+### 5.2 Transport and overflow
+
+`fetch keepalive credentials:"omit"` primary; `sendBeacon(url,
+new Blob([json], {type: "application/json"}))` on `pagehide`. Queue bound 256. **Overflow never enqueues into the full queue**: an out-of-band
+saturating counter accumulates drops, and one coalesced
+`client_queue_overflow{dropped}` is materialized into the **next flush**.
 
 ### 5.3 Signed trace authorization
 
-Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>` — **`auth` has its own ingest bound of
-256 bytes** (it cannot fit the general 64-char string cap; every other
-string keeps 64):
-
-- `kid`: `^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; active + previous keys in the platform secret
-  store; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG; **previous keys are retained at least
-  24 hours** (≫ max token lifetime + skew); missing key at startup with the
-  beacon enabled = startup failure.
-- `exp`: canonical decimal unix seconds (no sign, no leading zeros); ±60 s
-  skew; max future 15 min.
-- `mode`: `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic`. **`unsampled` is the signed
-  discard decision** (the review's missing state): the client must not
-  enqueue or transmit events for an `unsampled` trace, and ingest rejects
-  any group whose token mode is `unsampled`; the decision is sticky for the
-  trace (renewals preserve mode). `diagnostic` is a distinct authenticated
-  mode — **not** gated by the tester cookie, which is explicitly
-  non-security (`tester_cookie.rs:3`); it requires a separate short-lived
-  **diagnostic credential** issued behind the existing operator/admin
-  authentication (`/_ts/admin` surface): HMAC-signed, bound to publisher
-  origin, expiry ≤ 60 min, revoked by key rotation, issuance
-  CSRF-protected; forgery/replay tests required. The tester cookie may
-  still gate cosmetic overlays; never telemetry volume.
-- `sig`: base64url, unpadded, of HMAC-SHA-256 (43 chars) over the
-  domain-separated input
-  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || u32be(len(origin)) || origin ||
-u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id || u32be(len(mode)) || mode ||
-u64be(exp)`, all strings UTF-8; constant-time comparison.
-- **Renewal for long-lived pages:** before expiry the client calls
-  same-origin `GET /_ts/trace-auth` with `X-TSJS-Trace-Id`; the server
-  re-signs the **same trace id and mode** with a fresh `exp` (correlation is
-  the unchanged trace id). On renewal failure the client stops transmitting
-  and counts locally — silent rejection at ingest is thereby a bug, not a
-  policy.
-- Ingest verifies per trace group; invalid/expired/unknown-kid → group
-  dropped-and-counted; other groups survive.
-
-### 5.4 Ingest contract
-
-- `POST /_ts/client-events`; `application/json` only; no
-  `Content-Encoding`; `204`, `no-store`; never echoes input.
-- Pre-parse limits: body ≤ 16 KiB; ≤ 64 events; strings ≤ 64 chars except
-  `auth` ≤ 256 bytes; `trace_id ^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; integers `[0, 2³¹)`.
-- Same-origin: `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` when present, else normalized
-  `Origin` equality; absent both → drop-and-count.
-- **Rate limiting via an adapter abstraction** (the review is right that a
-  cross-request in-memory token bucket cannot exist on Fastly, `app.rs:146`):
-  trait `ClientEventLimiter` with a declared per-adapter backing and
-  semantics — Fastly: the platform edge counter (`rate_limiter.rs:40`),
-  fixed 60 s window, limit 20/window (documented approximation of
-  10 rpm + burst 20); Axum: real in-process token bucket (10 rpm, burst
-  20), map ≤ 65,536 entries; Cloudflare/Spin: per-isolate/per-instance
-  best-effort with the same parameters. **At capacity, unseen identities
-  are rejected (drop-and-count); active buckets are never evicted by
-  churn.** Limiter unavailable/errored → drop early with `204`. Trusted
-  client address per adapter: Fastly platform client IP; Axum rightmost
-  `X-Forwarded-For` beyond required `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent → socket
-  peer only); Cloudflare `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin platform address.
-
-### 5.5 Sink, canonical views, and monitoring
-
-- Stable event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`.
-- **One named canonical dedup pipe/view per table** (`ts_client_events_v`:
-  latest `received_at` per key; `ts_render_attempts_v`: attempt-grain
-  aggregation keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`). **Joins run
-  at attempt/slot grain against the views, never raw-to-raw** (a raw join on
-  `(publisher_domain, trace_id)` multiplies rows). Dashboards and alerts
-  may query only canonical views.
-- Field naming matches the existing auction rows: **`publisher_domain`**.
-- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget after dispatch (`tinybird.rs:153`) and
-  cannot see downstream rejection — **datasource-side monitoring is
-  mandatory**, driven by **sequence-tagged synthetic heartbeats** from a
-  probe client (accepted rows cannot reveal rejected rows): heartbeat gaps
-  measure rejection; heartbeat lag measures freshness. Alert owner: the
-  release owner's on-call.
+`v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`; `auth` ingest bound 256 bytes; kid
+`^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG in the secret store, previous
+keys retained ≥ 24 h; canonical decimal `exp`, ±60 s skew, ≤ 15 min future;
+`sig` = unpadded base64url HMAC-SHA-256 over the domain-separated
+length-prefixed input (revision 6's exact encoding); constant-time compare;
+per-group rejection.
+
+- **Modes:** `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. `unsampled`
+  transmits nothing and is rejected at ingest if carried. `probe` is
+  issued only to synthetic monitors (server-side issuance to the probe
+  runner) and marks heartbeat traffic.
+- **Renewal preserves mode by verification, not trust:** `GET
+/_ts/trace-auth` presents the **current signed authorization** in
+  `X-TSJS-Trace-Auth` (plus the trace header); the server verifies the
+  still-valid token and re-signs the **same trace_id and mode** with fresh
+  `exp`. The trace id itself carries no mode, and no adapter may rely on
+  cross-request state (§3.13) — the presented token is the state. Renewal
+  after expiry fails; the client stops transmitting and counts locally.
+- **Diagnostic credential — complete protocol:** issuance `POST
+/_ts/admin/diagnostic-credential` under the existing admin
+  authentication (CSRF: same-origin + custom header required), response
+  `{credential}` where credential = `d1.<kid>.<exp>.<origin-hash>.<sig>`,
+  absolute expiry ≤ 60 min, HMAC over the publisher origin + expiry,
+  **replayable short-lived bearer by design** (bounded by expiry and
+  origin binding; not one-time — stated, not implied). Transport to the
+  page: the operator opens the page with a `#tsdiag=<credential>` fragment
+  (never sent to any server in a URL); the client stores it in
+  `sessionStorage` and presents it in `X-TSJS-Diag` on trace-auth,
+  page-bids, and `/auction` requests. The server, seeing a valid
+  credential, issues/renews the trace authorization with
+  `mode = diagnostic` and **`exp = min(now + 15 min,
+credential expiry)`** — a trace authorization never outlives the
+  credential. Initial HTML cannot see the fragment, so `nav_gen 0` starts
+  `sampled|unsampled` and the client immediately upgrades via trace-auth.
+  Validation is stateless HMAC — all four adapters support it. Forgery,
+  replay-past-expiry, and wrong-origin tests required. The tester cookie
+  remains content-only (§2.5).
+- **Lazy cached initialization applies to every secret-backed component**
+  (trace-auth keys, diagnostic keys, sampling key, sinks): first-use
+  resolution with a cached result on request-bound platforms; resolution
+  failure with the feature enabled → the feature's startup/first-use error
+  path, never silent.
+
+### 5.4 Ingest and rate limiting
+
+As revision 6 (limits, same-origin, fail-closed drops), with the limiter
+contract completed: key namespace per route family; portable maps hold
+≤ 65,536 (Axum) / 4,096 (Cloudflare, Spin per-instance) entries with
+10-minute entry TTL, cleanup on access plus periodic sweep — **capacity
+pressure rejects unseen identities but expired entries are always
+reclaimable, so saturation is bounded, not permanent**; missing client
+address → a shared `unknown` bucket at 1 request/min; Fastly uses the
+platform 60 s window counter at limit 20 with documented overshoot ≤ 2×
+under concurrent bursts (`rate_limiter.rs:40` is read-then-increment);
+Axum XFF selection = rightmost entry after skipping exactly
+`trusted_proxy_hops`. `/_ts/trace-auth` and `/_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>`
+get their own buckets (10/min, burst 20 intent).
+
+### 5.5 Sink, canonical views, monitoring
+
+Stable event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`; canonical views
+`ts_client_events_v` (dedup) and `ts_render_attempts_v` (attempt grain,
+joined on the G1 key including `auction_id`); dashboards/alerts query views
+only. Datasource-side monitoring via `heartbeat` events from identified
+probes (mode `probe`); freshness = heartbeat lag ≤ 5 min, loss =
+`expected_seq` gaps < 0.1%; alert owner: release owner's on-call.

 ### 5.7 Modes and SLIs
 
-- **Production (sink-backed only):** server-decided sampling
-  (`sample_rate`, default 0.10; `sampled` vs `unsampled` signed per trace).
-  Separated SLIs: **pipeline availability** (heartbeat freshness ≤ 5 min,
-  heartbeat loss < 0.1%; fails during sink outages, alarmed); **failure
-  detection** (a failure mode affecting ≥ 1% of sampled render attempts
-  visible within one hour, evaluated at ≥ 10,000 sampled attempts/hour).
-- **Diagnostic:** credential-gated (§5.3), unsampled, full stream, console
-  mirroring, plus the `boot.debug` / response-`debug` envelopes (§2.5) — one
-  page load names the failing class for every §2 row.
+Production (sink-backed): deterministic keyed sampling (default 0.10).

 ## 6. APS delivery fixes
 
-### 6.1 Mediation: complete, arrival-independent algorithm
-
-Current code cannot merge: no forwarded candidate id; lossy
-last-write-wins `(provider, slot, bidder)` restoration
-(`adserver_mock.rs:95`); arrival-order ties (`orchestrator.rs:827`); Prebid
-assumes USD (`prebid.rs:2433`) and APS stamps USD (`aps.rs:475`) with no
-configured currency. Replacement, identical in the synchronous and split
-dispatch/collect paths via one shared helper:
-
-1. **Currency.** New required field `[auction].currency` (ISO 4217). Every
-   provider parse validates its response currency against it (absent
-   declaration where the provider contract implies one — APS's USD — is
-   validated as that implied value); mismatch → `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`.
-   No conversion.
-2. **Candidates.** Every admitted bid — direct **and mediator-native** —
-   becomes a candidate. Identity is two-part: `source_candidate_id` =
-   the **intrinsic stable key** `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` (for
-   mediator-native bids: the mediator's provider name and its bid id), and
-   `candidate_id` = a server-minted opaque wire id (`c` + 11-char CSPRNG)
-   used **only** for the mediator echo — never for ordering, so response
-   arrival order cannot influence selection.
-3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry `candidate_id` in the
-   named wire extension **`ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`** (contract for
-   every mediator implementation, `adserver_mock` included); the mediator
-   echoes it on derived bids. Echoed id resolves → the bid is the forwarded
-   candidate with provenance `mediator`; **authoritative fields:** price
-   and deal fields come from the mediator (repricing is its job);
-   render-source fields (renderer, adm, cache coordinates, notification
-   URLs) come from the stored candidate — a mediator that returns its own
-   `adm` for an echoed candidate is treated as mediator-native demand
-   instead. Unresolvable echoed id → the slot **fails closed for merging**
-   (`mediation_provenance_invalid`; mediator-native bids for the slot still
-   compete; the claim is discarded and counted).
-4. **Floors** filter both populations. **Dedup:** an echoed candidate
-   removes its direct twin.
-5. **Selection order (total, intrinsic):** decoded CPM desc → provenance
-   rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc. Winner fields are
-   read from the stored candidate per rule 3.
-6. **Strategy.** `[auction].winner_selection` is **required** whenever a
-   mediator and direct providers coexist (startup error if absent):
-   `mediator_only` or `merge_highest_cpm`. **Timeout behavior is
-   strategy-specific:** under `merge_highest_cpm`, mediator timeout →
-   direct-only selection, reported; under `mediator_only`, mediator timeout
-   → **no winners** (direct bids stay signal-only) unless
-   `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"` is explicitly configured.
-7. **Reporting:** the `selection_summary` row (§5.6) per slot.
-
-Deal priority stays out of scope (the `Bid` model carries no deal identity;
-recorded follow-up).
-
-### 6.2 Dimensions
-
-Exact size membership stays (`aps.rs:675`). Fix is visibility
-(`bid_drop{invalid_dimensions, w, h}`) plus documentation: request the
-sizes you accept.
-
-### 6.3 Script creatives
-
-Default stays `false`; consequence loud (§5.8); enablement documented.
-
-### 6.4 Render identity
-
-As G2 (including tombstones).
-
-### 6.5 Fallback
-
-As G4e/G4a; awaitable renderer first; attribution-gated; timeouts never
-render.
+### 6.1 Mediation — total order, closed contradictions
+
+1. **Currency.** Required `[auction].currency` (ISO 4217). Providers
+   validate response currency at parse; providers with a contract-implied
+   currency validate that implication — **APS enabled with a non-USD
+   configured currency is a startup error** (`aps.rs:475` stamps USD), not
+   a silent all-drop. Prebid's parse must validate rather than assume USD
+   (`prebid.rs:2433`). Mismatch → `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`.
+2. **Candidate identity, total by construction.** `source_candidate_id` =
+   `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` where the upstream id is **required
+   bounded (≤ 64 chars) and unique per provider response at admission**;
+   a bid missing an id, or duplicating one, receives a deterministic
+   **intrinsic fingerprint**: `fp = hex(HMAC(auction_id, provider || slot
+|| price_micros || render_source_digest))` — identical fingerprints are
+   the same demand and dedup to one candidate. `candidate_id` (wire echo)
+   is CSPRNG with in-auction collision retry and is **never** an ordering
+   key.
+3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry
+   `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`; the mediator echoes it. Resolution
+   rules, stated exhaustively: an echoed id that resolves → the forwarded
+   candidate, provenance `mediator`; **price is authoritative from the
+   mediator; every render-source and notification field comes from the
+   stored candidate; deal fields are out of scope entirely** (no deal
+   identity exists in the model — revision 6's "deal fields from mediator"
+   is deleted). A mediator bid whose **any** render-source field differs
+   from the stored candidate is reclassified mediator-native. An echoed id
+   that does **not** resolve → that bid is discarded and counted
+   (`provenance_invalid`); **mediator-native bids and direct candidates
+   for the slot all remain eligible** — "fails closed" applies to the
+   invalid claim, not the slot.
+4. Floors filter both populations; echoed candidates remove their direct
+   twins.
+5. **Selection order (total):** decoded CPM desc → provenance rank
+   (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc (fingerprints compare as
+   their hex strings). Arrival order can never matter.
+6. **Strategy** required when mediator + direct providers coexist:
+   `mediator_only` (timeout → no winners unless
+   `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"`) or `merge_highest_cpm`
+   (timeout → direct-only, reported).
+7. Reporting: `selection_summary` rows + `_totals` (§5.6).
+
+### 6.2–6.5
+
+As revision 6: exact dimensions with structured drops; script creatives
+default-off but loud — **DR-2's output is a deployment decision** (enable
+with explicit sandbox/security approval, or accept a quantified maximum
+excluded-demand share and gate Phase 3 on it), not a documentation
+priority; G2 identity; G4e fallback.
 
 ### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
 
-- Route registers unconditionally in every adapter (provider stays
-  config-gated); startup validation fails if an auth handler pattern covers
-  it; §G5 isolation rules apply.
-- Path `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`, embedded, served
-  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`; canary versions
-  are `no-store` (or bounded below the cohort lifetime); a **checked-in
-  header manifest per renderer version** freezes headers (CSP included)
-  with the bytes — a version's headers never change after publication,
-  resolving the immutable-caching/CSP conflict. Unknown versions → 404
-  `no-store`.
-- Three-message acknowledgement per G4b (`renderer_document_loaded` is the
-  first authenticated envelope).
-- Server route counters are aggregate (the nonce rides the URL fragment).
-- **CSP rollout:** discovery on the currently enforced policy with
-  reporting; tightening via report-only; relaxation via a small enforced
-  cohort on a short-lived canary version, gated on runner acceptance, CSP
-  violation rate, and render-failure rate, with a kill switch — and **CSP
-  reports are advisory**: for opaque-origin reports the body-supplied
-  document URL and policy version are forgeable, so **policy identity is
-  encoded in a server-selected report path**
-  (`POST /_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>`, ids server-generated per version),
-  reports are bucketed into closed effective-directive buckets and
-  `https-host (allowlisted) | data | blob | inline | eval | other` source
-  buckets with global and per-cohort caps, unused fields discarded before
-  logging, and CSP data is **never a sole automatic rollback signal**.
-  Physical storage: aggregate counters only. Browser capture on Chromium,
-  Firefox, and WebKit (CI is Chromium-only today,
-  `playwright.config.ts:16`), both report media types
-  (`application/csp-report`, `application/reports+json`) with separate
-  validators.
+As revision 6 (unconditional route, versioned immutable document with a
+checked-in per-version header manifest, three-message ack, aggregate route
+counters now physically in `ts_ops_counters`, CSP rollout with
+server-selected `policy_id` report paths and closed buckets — ingest
+bounds per §5.6).
 
 ### 6.7 One descriptor schema
 
-Wire truth is the tagged `BidRenderer` envelope (`types.rs:188-211`). A
-wire-schema crate/xtask (no `core → js` cycle; core already depends on the
-js crate, `Cargo.toml:45`) generates the JSON-Schema artifact, the TS
-structural parser, the ES5 inline validator fragment, and shared fixtures —
-checked in, staleness-gated. Semantic checks (URL/origin policy, canonical
-base64, bounds, exact one-bid AAX projection, cross-field equality) stay
-handwritten. Outer-descriptor tolerance only; AAX projection exact. Shared
-positive + adversarial corpus runs through all three validators in CI.
+As revision 6 (generated JSON-Schema + TS parser + ES5 inline fragment +
+fixtures; semantic validators handwritten; outer tolerance only; the
+per-reason `source` validity matrix of §5.1 joins the generated artifacts).
 
 ### 6.8 Bridge hardening
 
-Order (normative; preserves the baseline defense that suppresses
-propagation before source validation, `gpt/index.ts:1584-1637`): parse →
-identify TS-reserved id (live registry **or tombstone**, G2) →
-`stopImmediatePropagation()` → validate source ownership via the bounded
-walk (known slot-root `WindowProxy` map; sender's parent chain to depth 5;
-never scanning the frame tree) → validate nonce/token/`nav_gen`/
-`refresh_gen` → respond or refuse (`bridge_id_mismatch`). Non-TS ids are
-untouched. The stolen-token browser test asserts neither TS nor native
-Prebid responds; listener-order has a real-browser assertion. Renderer
-branches emit the full §5.1 sequence; notifications only on carrying paths.
+As revision 6: parse → identify TS-reserved (live **or tombstoned**, G2) →
+`stopImmediatePropagation` → validate source (bounded walk) →
+nonce/token/`nav_gen`/`refresh_gen` → respond or refuse. Non-TS ids
+untouched. Stolen-token test proves neither TS nor native Prebid responds.

-```
+As revision 6, with G3's corrected lint mechanics and the adapter-scope

+
+### 7.2 Adapters / 7.3 Slot registry
+
+As revision 6 (registry holds the G4a causal queue; cycle/drain state
+RuntimeSession; unissued intents NavigationSession).
+
+### 7.4 Final global surface
+
+Revision 6's table **plus** the row the review found missing:
+

+| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| (new, public)  | `tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install, dispose?})` |
+
+Bootstrap: field-wise idempotent init (`window.tsjs ||= {}; tsjs.que ||=
+[]; tsjs.boot ||= {}`; the ad-slot script's `window.tsjs = {}` at
+`publisher.rs:3665` is fixed); **transactional ownership**: states
+`unclaimed → installing → kernel | fallback`. The kernel installs wrappers
+**inert** and flips them live at a single commit point; on a throw before
+commit it unwinds its registered disposers (the §7.6 machinery applied to
+kernel boot itself) and marks `failed`; the 10 s watchdog treats a stuck
+`installing` as failed; **fallback claims ownership only from
+`unclaimed | failed`** — never beside a committed kernel. A bundle
+arriving after fallback committed defers for the page (`bundle_partial`).
+Tests: throw injected after each boot checkpoint.
+
+### 7.5 Messaging / 7.6 Plugins and sessions / 7.7 Bootstrap / 7.8 GPT / 7.9 Decomposition
+
+As revision 6 (plugin API object form with `release`; transactional
+install; sessions; generated no-bundle fallback; unconditional GPT
+subscriptions; decomposition table).
+
+### 7.10 Performance (fully reproducible)
 
-Enforced by the two G3 lint rules. Dissolves the audited inversions
-(`core/auction.ts`/`core/request.ts` → `integrations/aps/render`;
-`gpt`/`prebid` → `aps`; `prebid` owning the GPT refresh wrapper).
-
-### 7.2 Adapters
-
-`present | pending | timed_out` per external global; `timed_out`
-non-terminal; queued operations carry their own timeouts and expire with
-disposition reasons.
-
-### 7.3 Slot registry service
-
-Kernel-owned; `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` + div-id index;
-ownership, adoption, handoff claims, responsive resolution, the G4a causal
-intent queue + cycle/drain state (RuntimeSession) and unissued intents
-(NavigationSession), targeting history. No expandos
-(`__tsRenderGeneration`/`__tsRenderBid` deleted).

-### 7.4 Final global surface (hard cutover)
-
-| Legacy surface (removed at cutover)     | Final shape                                                           |

-
-**Bootstrap correctness (closing the review's two holes):** every
-server-injected initializer creates the container **idempotently and
-field-wise** — `window.tsjs ||= {}; tsjs.que ||= []; tsjs.boot ||= {}` —
-never only-when-absent (today the first ad-slot script does
-`window.tsjs = {}`, `publisher.rs:3665`, which would clobber or starve
-later `boot` writes). Kernel boot claims an **atomic owner sentinel**; it
-consumes `boot`, deep-freezes the retained copy, and deletes one-shot
-secrets. The generated no-bundle fallback (§7.7) activates on bundle
-`error` **or** a bounded hang watchdog (10 s without kernel boot); if the
-fallback has activated and the bundle later arrives, the bundle **defers
-for the rest of the page** (logs + `bundle_partial` disposition) — queue
-ownership never changes hands mid-page.
-
-### 7.5 Messaging module
-
-All `postMessage` through one module: versioned envelopes, name constants,
-G4b nonces, §6.8 validation. Minimal module lands in Phase 1; full call-site
-migration in Phase 4.
-
-### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle — transactional — and sessions
-
-`tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install, dispose?})` — object form; the
-`release` field is the build-generated `release_id` constant (G3 needs it;
-revision 5's positional API omitted it). `install(ctx): void |
-Promise<void>`:
-
-- `ctx.signal`; synchronous `ctx.onDispose(fn)`; reverse-order unwind on
-  throw/reject/abort; per-disposer isolation; disposer registered after
-  disposal → invoked immediately; pending late registrations capacity 16,
-  bound 10 s → `bundle_partial`; release mismatch quarantines before
-  `install`.
-- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page-lifetime: bridge listener + tombstones,
-  history hook, pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon queue, physical slot
-  cycle/drain state); `NavigationSession` (trace + authorization + renewal
-  timer, render attempts, slot aliases, unissued intents, targeting
-  history); `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle / G4f attempt). Enumerable
-  disposal inventories; navigation disposes NavigationSession children
-  only.
-- No empty `catch`; auction fetch gains timeout + `AbortController`.
-- **Console logging retained**: every issue-surfacing condition keeps or
-  gains a `log.warn` with the beacon's reason code; `debug`-level
-  delivery/security failures promoted to `warn`.
-
-### 7.7 Bootstrap
-
-`gpt_bootstrap.js` shrinks to a queue-and-flags stub; the bundle replays
-recorded calls on install (browser specs cover replay timing); the
-no-bundle fallback is **generated from the same TypeScript source**, with
-the §7.4 activation/arbitration rules.
-
-### 7.8 GPT correctness carried with the restructure
-
-Unconditional early `slotRequested`/`slotRenderEnded` subscription
-(replacing the `!servicesEnabled` gate, `gpt/index.ts:1091`; idempotent
-recording); restore #922/#997 attribution and orphan recovery;
-`changeCorrelator: false` on TS refreshes (configurable);
-`enableSingleRequest()` only when services are not already enabled;
-ambiguous responsive resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}`.

-
-- **Dedicated workflow** on a fixed runner (`runs-on: ubuntu-24.04`

-  `integration-tests.yml:155` — inside a pinned container image digest);
-  browser = the lockfile-resolved `@playwright/test` build with its browser
-  revision recorded in the baseline artifact (the manifest is a caret
-  range today, `browser/package.json:10` — the lockfile + recorded
-  revision are authoritative); compressors pinned by version in the
-  container (`gzip -9 -n` for determinism, `brotli -q 11`).
-- Bundle budgets: raw/gzip/Brotli for three vectors (minimal, reference,
-  maximal) vs checked-in baselines (`perf/baselines/*.json`, updates are
-  reviewed diffs recording image/browser/tool versions); +5% bytes.
-- Browser timing: 5 warm-ups discarded, 50 samples, p90 ≤ baseline × 1.10.

-## 8. Rollout: phases, decision records, and executable gates
-
-Phases are build milestones inside the §0 single-release model (dark pool →
-probe gates → router-weight canary of coherent requests → full weight).
-
-**Phase 0 decision records** (promoted from open questions; each has an
-owner, evidence, a deadline, and an explicit go/no-go): DR-1 mediator
-presence in the affected deployment (OQ1 — decides whether §6.1 gates
-Phase 3 entry); DR-2 script-creative share (OQ2 — decides the §6.3
-guidance priority); DR-3 #922 vs #997 (OQ4 — decides the Phase 3 work
-item); DR-4 mediator candidate-id echo owner and timeline (OQ7 —
-`merge_highest_cpm` is config-blocked until delivered); DR-5 non-Fastly
-sink decision (OQ5 — splits Phase 2's gates below).
-
-**Gates are a checked-in table** (`docs/superpowers/specs/rollout-gates.md`,
-created in Phase 0) with columns: query/test command, assignment key,
-expected positive count, denominator, sample floor, threshold, window,
-owner, hold/rollback action. The real-GAM suite's row includes its workflow
-name, fixture account and credentials owner, invocation command, artifact
-location, retry policy, and required approval evidence. Prose below is the
-summary; the table is normative.
-
-- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain, decisions.** Path-hashed
-  assets + 410 semantics + construction-time concatenation cache;
-  `format_version`; §5.6 schemas deployed writer-off; toolchain floors;
-  dead expando writes deleted; §5.8 drop surfacing; the five decision
-  records; the gates table itself.
-- **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry.** G3
-  registry; sessions; install manifest; minimal messaging; G4a intent/cycle
-  records; unconditional GPT subscriptions.
-- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** G1 issuance on all three paths (boot,
-  page-bids, `/auction` extension); §5.3 authorization incl. renewal and
-  the diagnostic credential; four-adapter ingest; `ts_client_events`
-  writers on. Gates split per DR-5: **HTTP parity** (all adapters:
-  routing, limits, 204s, method reservations) vs **persistence**
-  (sink-backed only: acceptance, dedup-exactly-once, heartbeat freshness).
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus; §6.1 with required
-  `winner_selection` and `[auction].currency`; render token + tombstones;
-  renderer route + three-message ack + CSP report route; §6.8; G4a–G4f
-  incl. direct-flow `nurl`/`burl` plumbing; fallback; DR-3's attribution
-  restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
-  _Gate (sticky randomized canary/control cohorts, 24 h, ≥ 10,000 sampled
-  attempts each; missing telemetry counts as failure):_ **denominator =
-  all server-observed eligible APS wins**; per-stage rates gated
-  separately — targeting_set/eligible, bridge_request/targeting_set,
-  render_accepted/bridge_response_sent, and `cycle_unattributable` rate
-  < 0.5% (survivorship is thereby visible, not excluded); GAM fill and p95
-  latency as **one-sided non-inferiority** (canary not worse than control
-  by > 2%; improvements pass); billing normalized per attempt and per
-  thousand attempts vs control; a separate **duplicate-billing invariant**
-  (zero double `burl` per idempotency key); real-GAM overlap suite green
-  per its table row.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + both lint rules; plugin
-  lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration; final
-  namespace.
-  _Gate:_ lints zero exceptions; disposal-inventory leak tests; four-flow
-  behavioral parity (SSAT, client-Prebid, page-bids, direct).
-- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; script-guard
-  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback (with error/hang/
-  fallback-arbitration tests); **four-flow parity reruns here** (it changed
-  bootstrap behavior after Phase 4's parity — the review's ordering
-  point); then the §0 runbook: weight-up, purge, 24 h monitored window,
-  weight-back rollback.
+## 8. Rollout
+
+Single-release state machine per §0 (sticky-cohort affinity). **The
+normative gates table ships with this design as Appendix A**, including
+initial thresholds, queries, commands, cohort keys, sample floors, owners,
+hold/rollback actions, and the real-GAM suite's operational row. Threshold
+changes require reviewed decision records.
+
+Phases (build milestones inside the one release):
+
+- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain, decisions.** Release-time
+  asset materialization; `format_version`; §5.6 schemas writer-off;
+  toolchain floors; dead expando deletion; drop surfacing; decision
+  records DR-1..DR-5 (DR-2 now a deployment decision, §6.2–6.5; DR-4
+  gates `merge_highest_cpm`; DR-5 splits Phase-2 gates).
+- **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry,
+  transactional bootstrap ownership.**
+- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** All three issuance paths + renewal +
+  diagnostic credential + probe mode; four-adapter ingest incl.
+  `/_ts/trace-auth` in the isolation family; heartbeats. Gates split:
+  HTTP parity (all adapters) vs persistence (sink-backed).
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** As revision 6, plus `notification_sent`
+  observability and per-flow funnel gating (the `flow` field): expected-
+  stage tables per flow live in the gates file; denominator = server-
+  observed eligible APS wins **within sampled/diagnostic traces**;
+  `cycle_unattributable` gated; one-sided non-inferiority for fill/p95;
+  duplicate-`burl` invariant via `notification_sent` key hashes.
+- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Layering, plugins, adapters, registry,
+  messaging, namespace; four-flow behavioral parity.
+- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; bootstrap stub +
+  generated fallback (error/hang/arbitration tests); four-flow parity
+  rerun; **then the full Phase-3 statistical canary/control gate and the
+  real-GAM suite are repeated on the exact immutable release candidate**
+  before router weight rises beyond the low-weight canary; then weight-up,
+  purge, 24 h monitored window.

-## 10. Alternatives considered
-
-1. Patching APS point-failures without telemetry — rejected (four correct
-   fixes, still no reliable ads).
-2. Always direct-render APS — rejected; kept as the attributed-`gam_empty`
-   fallback.
-3. Single module graph now — rejected for this release; successor option.
-4. Big-bang rewrite without phases — rejected (thin safety net).
-5. Dropping the ES5 bootstrap — rejected (loses the no-bundle guarantee);
-   generated fallback keeps it.
-6. Timeout-triggered fallback rendering — rejected (uncancelable GPT
-   requests race late fills).
-7. Timeout-based quarantine re-arm (revision 5) — removed: it recreated
-   the stale-event bug it claimed to fix.
-8. N/N−1 compatibility machinery (revisions 3–4) — removed by the §0
-   policy.
-
-## 11. Risks
-
-- Hard-cutover blast radius (accepted; bounded by the §0 runbook).
-- Mediator wire-contract change (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
-  `merge_highest_cpm`.
-- Notification triggers become a published contract for PBS-path demand.
-- Beacon abuse — capped, origin-checked, fail-closed limited, signed
-  modes, credentialed diagnostics.
-- Registry/limiter memory — explicit capacities, TTLs, reject-at-capacity.
-- CSP data is advisory — never a sole rollback signal.
-- Sink blindness — heartbeat-based datasource monitoring.
-- `[auction].currency` and `winner_selection` are new required config in
-  mediated deployments — a deliberate startup-error class under §0.

+## 10. Alternatives / 11. Risks
+
+As revision 6, plus: **rejected** — per-request Fastly concatenation
+(replaced by release-time materialization); trusting client-asserted
+sampling on renewal (replaced by token-presentation renewal); FIFO
+tombstone eviction (replaced by union capacity with refusal). Risk added:
+sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure the cutover depends on — it is
+Phase 0 work and its coherence test is release-gating.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-1. APS creatives render in each configured flow (SSAT, client-Prebid,
-   page-bids, direct), hermetically and in the release-gating real-GAM
-   suite.
-2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; **diagnostic mode names the
-   failing class from one page load including A1–A4 via the `boot.debug` /
-   response-`debug` envelopes**; §5.7 SLIs hold on sink-backed
-   deployments.
-3. Lints (both rules) zero exceptions; stateful sharing only via the
-   registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.
-4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
-   generated.
-5. Attempt counts are keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`
-   (traces stay navigation-scoped); no double counting; orphan recovery
-   has a non-vacuous test; G4a holds including the no-timeout-re-arm rule.
-6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` (§7.4 final shape); no
-   expandos; legacy names gone at cutover.
-7. §7.10 budgets hold on the dedicated pinned workflow.
-8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+ with
-   the beacon reason code.
-9. TypeScript floor matches resolved 5.9; `prebid.js` pin documented with
-   the deployed bundle.
-10. `nurl`/`burl` only on carrying paths at their G4d binds, idempotent
-    per attempt; APS fires neither; duplicate-billing invariant holds.
-11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store`; authorizations are
-    per-trace, signed, mode-carrying (`sampled|unsampled|diagnostic`),
-    renewal-capable; unsampled traces transmit nothing.
-12. The cutover runbook rehearsed (weight switch, purge, rollback).
+Revision 6's criteria with these corrections: (2) diagnostic completeness
+is achieved via the §2.5 gate split (content vs volume); (5) attempt
+counts keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; (10) the
+duplicate-`burl` invariant is measured via `notification_sent` key hashes
+in production and by hermetic tests, with external billing reconciliation
+as backstop; (add 13) the Phase-3 statistical and real-GAM gates pass on
+the exact immutable Phase-5 release candidate before weight-up; (add 14)
+the Appendix A gates table shipped with this design and every later change
+carries a reviewed decision record; (add 15) the baseline APS fix behaviors
+are re-implemented in the target architecture with the baseline browser
+tests passing unmodified as the conformance pin.
 
 ## 13. Open questions
 
-Promoted to Phase 0 decision records: mediator presence (DR-1),
-script-creative share (DR-2), #922 vs #997 (DR-3), candidate-id echo owner
-(DR-4), non-Fastly sinks (DR-5). Remaining open: does Amazon expose any
-creative-completion acknowledgement that could add a post-`render_accepted`
-state under a new name (future enhancement)?
+Only one remains outside the decision records: does Amazon expose any
+creative-completion acknowledgement that could add a
+post-`render_accepted` state under a new name (future enhancement)?

+
+## Appendix A — Normative rollout gates (initial values)
+
+Owners are roles: **RO** = release owner, **QA** = QA owner, **OPS** =
+release owner's on-call. Assignment key for canary/control =
+sticky cohort (`ts-rel`), randomized at HTML request, per §0. All
+production queries run against canonical views only (§5.5). "Hold" =
+router weight frozen; "Rollback" = weight to previous release + re-purge.
+Changing any row requires a reviewed decision record.

Subject: [PATCH 213/494] Rewrite design spec self-contained for the seventh
 review round

Revision 8 inlines every normative contract (no revision references
remain) and resolves the seventh round: beacon and CSP transports move
to credentials same-origin so authenticated sticky-cohort affinity
holds for every request class, the ts-rel cookie becomes an opaque
HMAC token with attribute/TTL/reassignment rules, config blobs are
hash-verified against the deployment manifest at startup, auction_id
becomes the cross-tier equality key with generations client-side only,
canary/control attribution moves to pool-specific datasource tokens,
statistical gates use sampled traces only with one-sided 95 percent
confidence bounds on relative differences and per-flow floors (rare
flows gate hermetically), Appendix A rows name checked-in pipes,
scripts, and workflows with a concrete cutover-monitor threshold and
zero-rejection deterministic schema writes, the duplicate-burl
invariant becomes hermetic proof plus billing reconciliation with
telemetry as a detection alarm, the browser stops computing hashes in
favor of a server-minted notif_id, every datasource gets its own probe
and freshness query, CSP and ops sinks get complete schemas, settings,
and a multi-target sink handle, origin policy becomes per route
family, same-class zero-request intents are superseded by any later
request-capable intent, the auction client returns a discriminated
error result, the bootstrap watchdog aborts and unwinds under an owner
generation before fallback claims, flow gains a system value with a
generated validity matrix, fallback becomes a child attempt with
parent_flow, id-less or duplicate bids are rejected instead of
fingerprinted, the drop enum is exhaustive over baseline producers
with a compile-time mapping test, the Fastly overshoot claim is
withdrawn in favor of documented burst behavior, diagnostic upgrade
becomes the sole authenticated mode transition with fragment clearing
and in-memory-only credential storage plus pre-upgrade buffering,
sampling gets an exact u64 threshold algorithm, totals and overflow
rows gain row_kind with nullable fields, the kill-switch commit point
moves before the first irreversible action including nurl,
billing_outcome is removed for lack of an honest producer, the
plugin-level dispose hook is removed in favor of ctx.onDispose, and
the TypeScript gate uses a checked-in npm script with --no-install.

 ## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
 
 One coordinated release:
 
-- Server, TSJS bundles, config, and HTML ship under one **`release_id`**.
-  **No N/N−1**; in-flight clients may fail at cutover — accepted and stated.
-- **Exact release matching**; config `format_version` exact-match; rollback =
-  redeploy the previous release with its own config.
-- **Config is a release-time input** under this policy: the config blob and
-  binary publish together, so the enabled module vectors are known at
-  release publication (this powers §G5 asset materialization).
-- Assets: embedded only; hashed pathnames for cache identity; unknown hash
-  → `410`, `no-store`.
-- **Rollout state machine with release affinity.** A deployment manifest
-  binds each pool to immutable `{release_id, config_store, config_key,
-config_hash}` (rollback binding prevalidated). The new pool comes up fully
-  enabled, reachable only by probes. Canarying uses a **sticky cohort
-  token**: the router assigns `ts-rel=<release_id>` on the HTML response,
-  routes every subsequent request (assets, APIs, beacons) by it, and cache
-  keys include it — router weights alone apply per request and would mix
-  pools, so affinity is what makes a canary request **coherent** end to end.
-  Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive; flags
-  are in-pool emergency kill switches only. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN
-  purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge.
+- Server, TSJS bundles, config, and HTML ship under one **`release_id`**
+  (git tag / build hash). **No N/N−1**; in-flight clients may fail at
+  cutover — accepted and stated, not mitigated.
+- **Exact release matching**: kernel, services, plugins, and the install
+  manifest carry the same `release_id`; mismatch is a refusal.
+- **Config is a release-time, content-verified input.** The config blob gains
+  a top-level `format_version` (exact match required). Publish order: blob
+  first, deployment manifest second. The manifest binds each pool to
+  immutable `{release_id, config_store, config_key, config_hash}`, and the
+  binary **verifies the loaded blob's hash against the manifest at
+  startup** — a mismatch is a startup failure, so a config overwrite cannot
+  mutate a supposedly immutable release or invalidate pre-materialized asset
+  vectors. Rollback = redeploy the previous release with its own verified
+  config; the rollback binding is prevalidated.
+- **Assets:** binaries embed only their release's artifacts; hashed pathnames
+  exist for cache identity; unknown hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`.
+- **Rollout state machine with authenticated release affinity.** The new
+  pool comes up fully enabled, reachable only by probes. Canarying uses a
+  **sticky, opaque, authenticated cohort token**: the router sets `ts-rel`
+  on the HTML response — an HMAC-signed opaque value binding
+  `{publisher_host, release_id, cohort, exp}` (attributes: `Secure;
+HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Path=/`; TTL 24 h) — and routes every subsequent
+  request by the **validated** token; invalid, expired, forged, or
+  non-allowlisted tokens route to control and are reissued; tokens for
+  retired releases are reassigned on next HTML response after rollback.
+  Cache keys use the post-validation release label (bounded cardinality;
+  raw cookie values never key caches). A plain readable release id would
+  let any visitor opt into the dark pool and would hand cache-key
+  cardinality to attackers — hence opaque and authenticated. Because
+  affinity rides a cookie, **the beacon and CSP-report transports use
+  `credentials: "same-origin"`** (not `omit`): the cookie exists for the
+  routing layer only; application handlers still derive no identity from
+  it. Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive;
+  flags are in-pool emergency kill switches. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN
+  purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge. The affinity acceptance test
+  covers HTML, assets, APIs, **beacons, and CSP reports**.
+- **Canary/control discrimination is infrastructure-attributed:** each pool
+  writes telemetry with **pool-specific datasource tokens**, so cohort
+  attribution comes from the write identity, not from in-row fields the
+  control binary (the baseline) does not emit; in-row `release_id` from the
+  new pool is secondary confirmation.
 
 ## 1. Problem statement
 
-APS demand is fully integrated server-side, yet APS creatives do not appear
-reliably. Four serial fixes (the `bid.meta` carrier, the decoupled shim, the
-`hb_adid` fallback, the baseline PUC/collapsed-shell fix) each survived
-review; the pattern is the finding: **multiple independent failure points,
-most failing silently**, with no client→server signal about which fired.
-The TSJS library (56 files, ~11,900 lines, two ~1,800-line monoliths,
-duplicated ES5/TS logic, inverted layering, ~100 error-swallowing catches)
-is the same problem structurally.

-### G1 — Trace identity, sampling, and correlation

-- Client-visible auction id (EC-derived, `publisher.rs:3237`) is never
-  ingested. Initial-HTML telemetry precedes page JS, so correlation is
-  minted by whoever acts first: server for `nav_gen 0` (trace + signed
-  authorization in `tsjs.boot`); client afterwards, via `X-TSJS-Trace-Id`
-  on page-bids (GET) and on the `/auction` POST, echoed back with the
-  signed authorization (`ext.trusted_server.trace = {trace_id, auth,
-auction_id}` on JSON/OpenRTB responses).
-- **Sampling is a deterministic keyed function**, not a coin flip:
-  `mode = sampled iff HMAC(sampling_key, trace_id) < sample_rate` — so
-  concurrent requests presenting the same trace always derive the same
-  mode, and first issuance needs no shared state (Fastly is per-request,
-  §3.13).
-- **Cross-tier join key (closing the row-multiplication gap):** the server
-  echoes its telemetry `auction_id` to the client (boot / response
-  extensions); the client stamps `auction_id` on every event of attempts
-  born from that auction. Server rows additionally carry `release_id`.
-  Canonical joins run on `(publisher_domain, trace_id, auction_id, slot,
-refresh_gen)` at attempt grain; canary/control comparison uses the
-  server-side `release_id`.
-- Cache-privacy invariant: traces/authorizations only in per-request
-  auction-bearing responses; such HTML is `private, no-store`.
+### G1 — Trace identity, sampling, correlation
+
+- The client-visible auction id is EC-derived (`publisher.rs:3237`) and
+  never ingested. Initial-HTML telemetry precedes page JS
+  (`telemetry.rs:148`, `publisher.rs:2452`), so correlation is minted by
+  whoever acts first: the **server** for `nav_gen 0` (trace + signed
+  authorization in `tsjs.boot`); the **client** afterwards via
+  `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` on page-bids (GET) and the `/auction` POST, echoed
+  back with the authorization and the server's telemetry auction id:
+  `ext.trusted_server.trace = {trace_id, auth, auction_id}`.
+- **Deterministic keyed sampling, numerically exact:** take the first
+  8 bytes of `HMAC-SHA-256(sampling_key, trace_id)` as a big-endian u64;
+  `mode = sampled` iff `u64 < floor(sample_rate × 2⁶⁴)`; `sample_rate`
+  must be finite and in `[0, 1]` (validated at load; 0 → nothing sampled,
+  1 → everything). Concurrent requests for one trace always derive the
+  same mode with no shared state (§3.13).
+- **Cross-tier join:** the equality key is the globally unique
+  **`auction_id`** (server-minted telemetry UUID), echoed to the client
+  and stamped on every event of attempts born from that auction.
+  Generations (`nav_gen`, `refresh_gen`) exist **client-side only**, for
+  attempt aggregation — auction rows do not carry them. Canonical join:
+  `(publisher_domain, trace_id, auction_id)`, attempt grain added from
+  client events.
+- **Cache-privacy invariant:** traces/authorizations only in per-request
+  auction-bearing responses; such HTML is `private, no-store`, no
+  validators; by construction and by test.
 - Envelope: per-trace groups `{trace_id, auth, events[]}`; events carry
-  `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq, flow, auction_id?}`. **`flow` is a closed
-  field** `ssat | prebid | page_bids | direct | fallback` set by the
-  attempt owner — the per-flow funnels in the gates table depend on it.
+  `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq, flow, auction_id?}`. **`flow`** is closed:
+  `ssat | prebid | page_bids | direct | fallback | system` — `system` for
+  heartbeat and overflow events, which have no render flow; the generated
+  per-event validity matrix (§5.1) says which events may carry which
+  flows.
 - Traces are navigation-scoped; attempt counts key on
   `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`.
 
 ### G2 — Render identity
 
-- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = PBS Cache UUID byte-for-byte. Markup bids:
-  existing fallback chain. Renderer-only bids: server-minted token
-  `^[a-z0-9]{12}$`, CSPRNG, in-auction collision retry, TTL 15 min,
-  one-time consumption.
-- **Registry + tombstones, one capacity, no unexpired eviction:** the
-  bridge-reservation store holds live registrations and tombstones
-  (consumed / stale / navigation-disposed ids) in one bounded structure —
-  **capacity 320 for the union**; expired entries are pruned; **unexpired
-  entries are never evicted**; when the union is at capacity, **new
-  registration is refused** with `registry_full`. A late prior-navigation
-  bridge request therefore always meets suppression until its id's original
-  TTL passes (preserving `gpt/index.ts:1527`). Test: >320 registrations,
-  then a late request for the oldest unexpired id.
-- Client-Prebid keeps Prebid's `adId`; one store serves both paths.
-
-### G3 — Runtime ABI (exact-release)
-
-- Kernel only in `tsjs-core`; publishes
-  `tsjs._internal = {release_id, registry}`; frozen after boot; core
-  services constructed at boot; plugins register via the object-form API
-  (§7.6) whose `release` is a build-generated constant; `registry.get`
-  succeeds only on `release_id` equality; mismatch quarantines
-  (`abi_mismatch`/`bundle_partial`) with a console error.
-- Boundary enforcement: `import/no-restricted-paths` for layering plus
-  **`no-restricted-properties`/`no-restricted-syntax`** rules covering
-  `window`, `globalThis`, `self`, and local aliases for `googletag`/`pbjs`
-  access outside `adapters/` (`no-restricted-globals` cannot catch member
-  expressions). Adapters are the only access to **external ad-tech
-  globals**; the kernel and messaging module necessarily touch
-  `window.tsjs`, listeners, and `postMessage`.
+- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = PBS Cache UUID byte-for-byte
+  (`publisher.rs:3355`; the PUC fetches `?uuid=`, `gpt/index.ts:1772`).
+  Markup bids: existing fallback chain. Renderer-only bids: server-minted

+
+### G3 — Runtime ABI under the IIFE build (exact-release)
+
+Every entry point is a self-contained IIFE with inlined imports
+(`build-all.mjs:46`, `bundle.rs:23`) — imports never share state across
+bundles (live defect: `core/context.ts:11` vs `permutive/index.ts:102`).
+
+- The kernel ships only in `tsjs-core`, publishes
+  `tsjs._internal = {release_id, registry}` once (window sentinel),
+  freezes `_internal` after boot, and constructs/registers core services
+  (event bus, beacon queue, sessions, slot registry, render engine)
+  during boot; integrations register integration-scoped services during
+  `install()`.
+- **Exact release matching:** every registration carries `release_id`
+  (plugins via the §7.6 object API whose `release` is a build-generated
+  constant); `registry.get(name)` succeeds only on equality; mismatch
+  quarantines (`abi_mismatch` service / `bundle_partial` plugin) with a
+  console error.
+- Stateful access only via the registry at call time; stateless helpers
+  may inline.
+- **Boundary enforcement:** `import/no-restricted-paths` for layering
+  **plus** `no-restricted-properties`/`no-restricted-syntax` rules

 ### G4 — Render lifecycle
 
 **G4a — Physical request cycles.**
 
-- Intents recorded for both classes (`ts | publisher`) in one causal queue.
-  **Any `display()` issued while initial load is disabled is retired at
-  issuance regardless of caller** (GPT's no-request behavior is
-  caller-independent, §3.8) — a stale publisher `display()` intent can no
-  more poison a later TS `refresh()` match than the reverse. Hindsight
-  zero-request intents (`refresh()` on a never-displayed slot) expire at
-  2 s with `intent_no_request`; while one is pending, any opposite-class
-  intent makes the next `slotRequested` ambiguous → quarantine. The
-  ambiguity rule is symmetric.
-- Cycles open only on `slotRequested`, matched to the causal queue head;
-  SRA yields one per slot per batch; cycles close on `slotRenderEnded`;
-  `responseIdentifier` dedups during drain.
-- One outstanding TS cycle per slot; one queued replacement (coalescing).
-- Attribution requires exactly one outstanding TS cycle and no overlap;
+- **Intents, both classes, one causal queue.** Every observable
+  initiation — TS and wrapped publisher `display()`/`refresh()` — records
+  an intent in causal order, classified `ts | publisher`. Any
+  `display()` issued while initial load is disabled is **retired at
+  issuance regardless of caller** (GPT is caller-independent, §3.8) — it
+  never enters the matcher. Hindsight zero-request intents (`refresh()`
+  on a never-displayed slot) expire at 2 s with `intent_no_request`;
+  **any later request-capable intent — same class or opposite —
+  supersedes a pending uncertain intent immediately**, and if the
+  uncertain intent's request could still legitimately be in flight
+  (within its 2 s bound), the next `slotRequested` is ambiguous and the
+  slot quarantines. A stale no-op `refresh()` can therefore never steal
+  a later `display()`'s request in either direction, TS→TS,
+  publisher→publisher, or across classes.
+- **Cycles** open only on `slotRequested`, matched to the causal queue
+  head; SRA batching yields one per slot per batch; cycles close on
+  `slotRenderEnded`; `responseIdentifier` deduplicates responses during
+  drain (it never attributes initiation).
+- **Serialization:** at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot; one
+  queued TS replacement (later intents coalesce).
+- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one TS
+  cycle is outstanding and no publisher/untracked request overlaps;
   otherwise quarantine (`cycle_unattributable`), fail closed.
-- **No timeout re-arm.** Re-arm only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned
-  destroy/redefine, or page end. Unissued intents are NavigationSession
-  children; physical cycle/drain state is RuntimeSession.
-- Deterministic-harness CI plus the release-gating real-GAM suite (scope
-  enumerated in the gates table: per-flow topologies, expected sequences,
-  browsers, fixtures, commands, artifacts, approvals — success criterion 1
-  refers to that enumeration).
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement, specified per render path.** Four normative
-sequences; each names its nonce/token producer, transport into the owned
-frame, authenticated acceptance observation, cancellation, and separate
-document/runner deadlines (document 3 s, runner 10 s, adm 5 s):
-
-1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): bridge mints the per-attempt 128-bit
-   nonce; MessageChannel into the renderer document (`ports.length`
-   checks, exact-key replies, one-shot latch, port close); the document
-   posts authenticated `renderer_document_loaded` then
-   `render_accepted | render_failed{reason}` **to the top window**; the
-   kernel validates source ownership, nonce, token, `nav_gen`,
-   `refresh_gen` before transitions or notifications.
-2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC**: the bridge's display renderer creates the
-   sandboxed adm frame with an injected reporter snippet; the reporter
-   posts authenticated `adm_document_loaded{nonce}` to the top window on
-   document load; acceptance = that message (baseline merely appends an
-   iframe with no observation).
-3. **Direct APS** (`renderApsCreative`): the kernel is the frame parent —
-   the baseline parent-postMessage handshake (`ports.length === 0` branch)
-   is already kernel-observed; same three messages, same validation.
-4. **Direct ADM/cache**: as (2), with the kernel as parent.
-
-Cancellation for all four: navigation/supersession invalidates the nonce;
-late acks are discarded with `stale_navigation`.
-
-**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal state.** Observations:
-`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded,
-reason}` (observation and remediation are separate — a guarded anchor/fixed
-case is still observed), `renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`,
-`runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. **An attempt has exactly one
-terminal state: `accepted | failed{reason} | no_bid | cancelled`.**
-Post-acceptance runner failure is an observation plus the
-`billing_outcome{billed_then_failed}` event — never a second terminal
-transition. No observation claims paint. The baseline resize is a
-sanctioned, guarded exception to the no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule.
+- **No timeout re-arm.** Physical cycle/drain state lives in the
+  RuntimeSession slot record; unissued intents are NavigationSession
+  children (cancelled by navigation disposal). A quarantined or stale
+  slot re-arms only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned
+  destroy/redefine, or page end. Timeouts emit diagnostics and never
+  restore attribution. Late stale events are matched and discarded
+  (`stale_navigation`).
+- Deterministic-harness CI plus the release-gating real-GAM suite
+  (topologies enumerated in Appendix A.3).
+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement, per render path.** Four normative sequences;
+each names its nonce producer, transport, authenticated acceptance
+observation, cancellation, and deadlines (document 3 s, runner 10 s,
+adm 5 s). All nonces are per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG values minted by the
+attempt owner; the kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8
+walk), nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — before any transition or
+notification. Navigation/supersession invalidates the nonce; late acks →
+`stale_navigation`.
+
+1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): bridge mints the nonce;
+   MessageChannel into the renderer document (`ports.length` checks,
+   exact-key replies, one-shot `accepted` latch, port close —
+   `aps.rs:65-125`, `aps/render.ts:415-437`); the document posts
+   authenticated `renderer_document_loaded` then
+   `render_accepted | render_failed{reason}` to the top window.
+2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC:** the display renderer creates the sandboxed
+   adm frame with an injected reporter snippet that posts authenticated
+   `adm_document_loaded{nonce}` on document load; acceptance = that
+   message (the baseline merely appends an iframe with no observation).
+3. **Direct APS** (`renderApsCreative`): the kernel is the frame parent;
+   the baseline parent-postMessage branch (`ports.length === 0`) is
+   already kernel-observed; same three messages, same validation.
+4. **Direct ADM/cache:** as (2) with the kernel as parent.
+
+**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal state.** Inline-adm frames are
+sandboxed `srcdoc` without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:510`) —
+opaque; geometry proves nothing. Observations: `gam_nonempty`,
+`gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded, reason?}`
+(observation and remediation separate), `renderer_document_loaded`,
+`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. **An attempt has
+exactly one terminal state: `accepted | failed{reason} | no_bid |
+cancelled`.** Post-acceptance runner failure is an observation only —
+there is **no** `billing_outcome` event: no path has an honest producer
+for a post-accept billing-failure claim (APS is excluded from
+notifications and opaque frames offer no authenticated post-accept
+signal), so the design does not pretend otherwise. No observation claims
+paint; there is no `render_confirmed`. The baseline resize
+(`gpt/index.ts:217`) is a sanctioned, guarded exception to the
+no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule (authenticated source frame only; wrapper
+only when both dimensions ≤ 1 px; anchor-ad and fixed/sticky guards).
 
 **G4d — Notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
-(`aps.rs:839`); excluded entirely. For carrying paths: bind per flow — PUC:
-owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim; direct: validated render start
-(server must preserve + macro-expand `nurl`/`burl` in `/auction`
-responses — `formats.rs:423` omits them — and the client must parse and
-https-validate them — `core/auction.ts:43` drops them); fallback:
-attributed `gam_empty` immediately before render. `nurl` at bind, `burl`
-at `accepted`. **Economic identity is the normalized pair
-`(id_kind, id_value)`** (direct attempts without `hb_adid` use
-`bid_id`), idempotency key
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)`. **Every
-dispatch emits `notification_sent{kind: nurl|burl, id_key_hash, result:
-queued | failed}`** where `id_key_hash` is a 16-hex truncated HMAC of the
-idempotency key — making the duplicate-`burl` invariant observable in
-production (the gates table queries zero duplicates per key hash); external
-billing reconciliation remains the authoritative backstop. No retries.
-
-**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in; renders only on a terminal `gam_empty`
-unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle; ownership does not gate;
-publisher-initiated or unattributable never triggers; timeouts never
-render.
+(`aps.rs:839`; the AAX envelope excludes them; the integration guide
+documents no generic APS beacons) — excluded entirely; the Amazon runner
+lifecycle is unchanged. For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB
+providers):
+
+- Bind per flow, never selection or targeting (`ad_init.test.ts:1824`):
+  PUC — an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim; direct —
+  validated render start (the server must preserve and macro-expand
+  `nurl`/`burl` in `/auction` responses, `formats.rs:423` omits them;
+  the client must parse and https-validate them, `core/auction.ts:43`
+  drops them); fallback — attributed `gam_empty` immediately before
+  fallback render.
+- `nurl` at bind; `burl` at `accepted`; **no retries**; idempotency key
+  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)` with the
+  normalized economic identity `(id_kind, id_value)` (direct attempts
+  without `hb_adid` use `bid_id`).
+- **Observability without client cryptography:** the server mints an
+  opaque **`notif_id`** (12-char token, same generator as G2) per
+  notification-carrying bid and delivers it with the bid; every dispatch
+  emits `notification_sent{kind: nurl | burl, notif_id, result:
+queued | failed}`. The browser computes no hashes (a client-held HMAC
+  key would break the pseudonymization boundary; a rotating token would
+  break stability across a gate window).
+- **The duplicate-`burl` invariant is proven hermetically and
+  reconciled externally, not "proven" by lossy telemetry:** hermetic
+  tests pin exactly-once dispatch logic; production
+  `notification_sent` duplicates are a **detection alarm** (any
+  observed duplicate is a red gate); absence-of-duplicates is
+  established by billing reconciliation (GAM/SSP reports vs server-side
+  win counts) because sampled, best-effort telemetry cannot prove a
+  zero.
+
+**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in
+(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`); renders only after a
+terminal `gam_empty` unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle; ownership
+does not gate it; publisher-initiated or unattributable cycles never
+trigger it; timeouts never render.
 
 **G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** `RenderAttempt` keyed
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; per-slot latest-wins with
-cancellation; generation checks before every DOM/beacon effect
-(`request.ts:31` races today); G4b sequence 3/4; G4d direct binds;
-disposal on navigation; single terminal state;
-`tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>` with
+`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; per-slot **latest-wins with
+cancellation** (concurrent calls cancel the older attempt;
+`request.ts:31` races today); generation checks before every DOM/beacon
+effect; G4b sequences 3/4; G4d direct binds; navigation disposal; one
+terminal state. **The auction client returns a discriminated result** —
+`{ok: bids[]} | {error: "auction_timeout" | "network_error" |
+"http_error" | "invalid_response"}` — replacing the baseline's
+everything-is-an-empty-array collapse (§3.14); only a successfully
+parsed response with no winner maps to `no_bid`. Public API:
+`tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>`,
 `RequestAdsResult = {traceId, slots: [{slot, outcome: "rendered" |
-"no_bid" | "failed" | "cancelled", reason?}]}`.

-**G4g — Mid-attempt configuration.** An attempt **snapshots its
-configuration at creation**. The in-pool emergency kill switch cancels

+"no_bid" | "failed" | "cancelled", reason?}]}`, settling when every slot
+attempt is terminal. Reversed-response tests required.
+**Fallback identity:** fallback is a **child attempt** — new
+`RenderAttempt`, `flow = fallback`, carrying `parent_flow` (the
+originating flow); the terminal `gam_empty` belongs to the parent
+attempt under the parent's flow; the canonical view links parent and
+child on `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen)`.
+
+**G4g — Mid-attempt configuration and the commit point.** An attempt
+snapshots configuration at creation. **Commit = the earliest
+irreversible action** — the first of: notification dispatch (`nurl` at
+bind), `bridge_response_sent`, or first DOM insertion. The
+generation/kill-switch check runs **immediately before each** of those;
+an attempt past commit runs to its terminal state; dispatched
+notifications are never recalled. (Revision 7 put commit after the
+`nurl` side effect; that ordering error is corrected.)
 
 ### G5 — Deployment contracts
 
-- Config `format_version`; release-time config (§0).
-- **Assets pre-materialized at release publication:** because config ships
-  with the release, the validated module vectors are known when the release
-  is built — concatenated bytes + hashes are produced then and embedded;
-  serving is lookup-only on every adapter (Fastly's per-request state,
-  §3.13, makes construction-time caching meaningless there — the previous
-  revision's claim is corrected). The §7.10 server benchmark measures the
-  lookup path and guards against regression to per-request concatenation.
-  Unknown vector = release-build error; unknown hash = `410`, `no-store`;
-  exact match = `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`.
-- **Internal route families — now four:** renderer, client-events,
-  CSP-report, **and `/_ts/trace-auth`** — dispatch before auth/EC/
-  publisher/integration filters; all methods reserved locally (405 +
-  `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown versions 404 `no-store`; never publisher
-  fall-through); no body/cookie/authorization forwarding; normalized
-  scheme+host+port origin comparison; each family rate-limited (§5.4) and
-  covered by four-adapter parity tests.
+- Config `format_version` + manifest hash verification (§0).
+- **Assets pre-materialized at release publication:** config is a
+  release-time input, so validated module vectors are known when the
+  release is built; concatenated bytes + hashes are produced then and
+  embedded; serving is lookup-only on every adapter (Fastly is
+  per-request, §3.13, so construction-time caching would be

+- **Internal route families — four:** renderer, client-events,
+  CSP-report, `/_ts/trace-auth`. All dispatch before auth/EC/publisher/

+  locally (405 + `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown version 404 `no-store`;
+  never the publisher fall-through of `adapter-spin app.rs:804`); no
+  body/cookie/authorization forwarding. **Origin policy is per family**,
+  not universal: client-events and trace-auth require strict normalized
+  same-origin (scheme+host+port); the CSP route admits opaque/`null`
+  origins and authenticates by server-selected path identity plus abuse
+  limits; the renderer document is a public GET validated by
+  version/path only (it is loaded from sandboxed opaque contexts —
+  browser-origin authentication is impossible there by design).
+- Ingest routes exist in all four adapters; Fastly has real sinks;

 ### 5.3 Signed trace authorization
 
-`v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`; `auth` ingest bound 256 bytes; kid
-`^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG in the secret store, previous
-keys retained ≥ 24 h; canonical decimal `exp`, ±60 s skew, ≤ 15 min future;
-`sig` = unpadded base64url HMAC-SHA-256 over the domain-separated
-length-prefixed input (revision 6's exact encoding); constant-time compare;
-per-group rejection.
-
-- **Modes:** `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. `unsampled`
-  transmits nothing and is rejected at ingest if carried. `probe` is
-  issued only to synthetic monitors (server-side issuance to the probe
-  runner) and marks heartbeat traffic.
-- **Renewal preserves mode by verification, not trust:** `GET
-/_ts/trace-auth` presents the **current signed authorization** in
-  `X-TSJS-Trace-Auth` (plus the trace header); the server verifies the
-  still-valid token and re-signs the **same trace_id and mode** with fresh
-  `exp`. The trace id itself carries no mode, and no adapter may rely on
-  cross-request state (§3.13) — the presented token is the state. Renewal
-  after expiry fails; the client stops transmitting and counts locally.
-- **Diagnostic credential — complete protocol:** issuance `POST
+Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`; the `auth` field has its own
+ingest bound of **256 bytes** (every other string keeps the 64-char
+cap — a 43-char unpadded-base64url signature cannot fit 64 with its
+prefix fields).
+
+- `kid`: `^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; active + previous keys in the platform
+  secret store; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG; previous keys retained ≥ 24 h
+  (≫ max token lifetime + skew). Missing key with the feature enabled →
+  startup/first-use failure, never silent.
+- `exp`: canonical decimal unix seconds (no sign, no leading zeros);
+  ±60 s skew; ≤ 15 min future.
+- `mode`: `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. **`unsampled` is
+  the signed discard decision:** the client neither enqueues nor
+  transmits for it, and ingest rejects any group carrying it. `probe`
+  marks synthetic monitors (server-issued to probe runners); probe
+  traffic is never sampled out and is excluded from product metrics by
+  mode.
+- `sig`: unpadded base64url of HMAC-SHA-256 (43 chars) over the
+  domain-separated, length-prefixed input `"ts-trace-auth-v1" ||
+u32be(len(origin)) || origin || u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id ||
+u32be(len(mode)) || mode || u64be(exp)`, strings UTF-8, `origin` =

+- **Renewal preserves mode by verification, not trust:**

+  mode transition that exists is the diagnostic upgrade, a distinct
+  operation:** `POST /_ts/trace-auth/upgrade` presenting the current
+  token **and** a valid diagnostic credential; it re-signs with
+  `mode = diagnostic` and `exp = min(now + 15 min, credential expiry)`.
+  Plain renewal never changes mode. Renewal after expiry fails; the
+  client stops transmitting and counts locally.
+- **Diagnostic credential:** issued `POST
 /_ts/admin/diagnostic-credential` under the existing admin
-  authentication (CSRF: same-origin + custom header required), response
-  `{credential}` where credential = `d1.<kid>.<exp>.<origin-hash>.<sig>`,
-  absolute expiry ≤ 60 min, HMAC over the publisher origin + expiry,
-  **replayable short-lived bearer by design** (bounded by expiry and
-  origin binding; not one-time — stated, not implied). Transport to the
-  page: the operator opens the page with a `#tsdiag=<credential>` fragment
-  (never sent to any server in a URL); the client stores it in
-  `sessionStorage` and presents it in `X-TSJS-Diag` on trace-auth,
-  page-bids, and `/auction` requests. The server, seeing a valid
-  credential, issues/renews the trace authorization with
-  `mode = diagnostic` and **`exp = min(now + 15 min,
-credential expiry)`** — a trace authorization never outlives the
-  credential. Initial HTML cannot see the fragment, so `nav_gen 0` starts
-  `sampled|unsampled` and the client immediately upgrades via trace-auth.
-  Validation is stateless HMAC — all four adapters support it. Forgery,
-  replay-past-expiry, and wrong-origin tests required. The tester cookie
-  remains content-only (§2.5).
-- **Lazy cached initialization applies to every secret-backed component**
-  (trace-auth keys, diagnostic keys, sampling key, sinks): first-use
-  resolution with a cached result on request-bound platforms; resolution
-  failure with the feature enabled → the feature's startup/first-use error
-  path, never silent.

-contract completed: key namespace per route family; portable maps hold
-≤ 65,536 (Axum) / 4,096 (Cloudflare, Spin per-instance) entries with
-10-minute entry TTL, cleanup on access plus periodic sweep — **capacity

-### 5.5 Sink, canonical views, monitoring
-
-Stable event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`; canonical views
-`ts_client_events_v` (dedup) and `ts_render_attempts_v` (attempt grain,
-joined on the G1 key including `auction_id`); dashboards/alerts query views
-only. Datasource-side monitoring via `heartbeat` events from identified
-probes (mode `probe`); freshness = heartbeat lag ≤ 5 min, loss =
-`expected_seq` gaps < 0.1%; alert owner: release owner's on-call.
+- `POST /_ts/client-events`: `application/json` only; no
+  `Content-Encoding`; responds `204`, `no-store`; never echoes input.
+  Pre-parse limits: body ≤ 16 KiB; ≤ 64 events; strings ≤ 64 chars
+  (`auth` ≤ 256 bytes); `trace_id ^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; integers `[0, 2³¹)`;
+  width/height `[0, 8192]`. Violations → drop-and-count with `204`.
+- Same-origin (client-events, trace-auth): `Sec-Fetch-Site:
+same-origin` when present, else normalized `Origin` equality; absent
+  both → drop-and-count.
+- **Rate limiting — adapter abstraction with declared semantics:**
+  trait `ClientEventLimiter`, key namespace per route family; intent
+  10 req/min, burst 20 per client address. Axum: real in-process token
+  bucket, map ≤ 65,536 entries; Cloudflare/Spin: per-isolate/instance
+  best-effort, ≤ 4,096 entries; entry TTL 10 min with cleanup on access
+  plus periodic sweep — **capacity pressure rejects unseen identities,
+  but expired entries are always reclaimable, so saturation is bounded,
+  not permanent**; missing client address → shared `unknown` bucket at
+  1 req/min. Fastly: the platform 60 s fixed-window counter at limit 20
+  as a documented approximation; because its lookup and increment are
+  separate operations (§3.13), **overshoot under a synchronized burst
+  is bounded only by in-flight concurrency, and no numeric multiple is
+  claimed** — the synchronized-burst test (> 40 concurrent) documents
+  observed behavior, and a penalty-box follow-up is recorded if
+  observed overshoot is operationally unacceptable. Limiter
+  unavailable/errored → drop early with `204`. Trusted client address:
+  Fastly platform client IP; Axum rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
+  after skipping exactly `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent config → socket
+  peer only); Cloudflare `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin platform address.
+  `/_ts/trace-auth` and `/_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>` carry their own
+  buckets with the same intent.
+
+### 5.5 Sinks, canonical views, per-sink monitoring
+
+- Stable event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`. Canonical views:
+  `ts_client_events_v` (dedup: latest `received_at` per key) and
+  `ts_render_attempts_v` (attempt grain per G1). Dashboards and alerts
+  query canonical views only; raw-to-raw joins are forbidden (row
+  multiplication).
+- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget after dispatch (`tinybird.rs:153`)
+  and cannot see downstream rejection — **each datasource gets its own
+  synthetic probe and freshness/loss query, per adapter write path**:
+  client-events via `heartbeat` events (mode `probe`,
+  `expected_seq` gaps = loss, lag = freshness); CSP via probe reports
+  to a reserved `policy_id = probe`; ops via a probe counter. A green
+  client-events heartbeat says nothing about the CSP or ops
+  credentials — hence three probes. Alert owner: release owner's
+  on-call.

+SLIs: **pipeline availability** — per-sink probe freshness ≤ 5 min and

 ### 5.8 Server-side drop surfacing
 
-As revision 6, with `selection_summary`/`bid_drop` physicalized above.
+Bounded structured summary whenever any bid is dropped; `bid_drop` and
+`selection_summary` rows (§5.6); the initial-HTML `ts-debug` comment
+carries the drop summary; page-bids and `/auction` carry the
+tester-gated structured `debug` field. Startup warnings: APS +
+`allow_script_creatives = false`; mediator + direct providers without
+an explicit `winner_selection` (§6.1 hard error).
 
 ## 6. APS delivery fixes
 
-### 6.1 Mediation — total order, closed contradictions
-
-1. **Currency.** Required `[auction].currency` (ISO 4217). Providers
-   validate response currency at parse; providers with a contract-implied
-   currency validate that implication — **APS enabled with a non-USD
-   configured currency is a startup error** (`aps.rs:475` stamps USD), not
-   a silent all-drop. Prebid's parse must validate rather than assume USD
-   (`prebid.rs:2433`). Mismatch → `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`.
-2. **Candidate identity, total by construction.** `source_candidate_id` =
-   `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` where the upstream id is **required
-   bounded (≤ 64 chars) and unique per provider response at admission**;
-   a bid missing an id, or duplicating one, receives a deterministic
-   **intrinsic fingerprint**: `fp = hex(HMAC(auction_id, provider || slot
-|| price_micros || render_source_digest))` — identical fingerprints are
-   the same demand and dedup to one candidate. `candidate_id` (wire echo)
-   is CSPRNG with in-auction collision retry and is **never** an ordering
-   key.
+### 6.1 Mediation — total order, no fictional identities
+
+Baseline defects: no forwarded candidate id; lossy last-write-wins
+`(provider, slot, bidder)` field restoration (`adserver_mock.rs:95`);
+arrival-order equal-price ties (`orchestrator.rs:827`); Prebid assumes
+USD (`prebid.rs:2433`); APS stamps USD (`aps.rs:475`); no configured
+currency. Replacement, identical in the synchronous and split
+dispatch/collect paths via one shared helper:
+
+1. **Currency.** Required `[auction].currency` (ISO 4217). Every
+   provider parse validates its response currency; contract-implied
+   currencies are validated as implied — **APS enabled with a non-USD
+   configured currency is a startup error**, not a silent all-drop.
+   Mismatch → `bid_drop{currency_mismatch}`.
+2. **Candidate identity.** `source_candidate_id` =
+   `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)`; the upstream id is **required,
+   ≤ 64 chars, and unique per provider response — bids missing an id or
+   duplicating one are rejected** (`bid_drop{missing_bid_id |
+duplicate_bid_id}`). No fingerprint fallback: a fingerprint over a
+   partial field set can merge economically distinct demand, and
+   OpenRTB requires bid ids — rejection is honest. `candidate_id` (wire
+   echo) is CSPRNG with in-auction collision retry and is never an
+   ordering key. Mediator-native bids get identities the same way from
+   the mediator's response.
 3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry
-   `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`; the mediator echoes it. Resolution
-   rules, stated exhaustively: an echoed id that resolves → the forwarded
-   candidate, provenance `mediator`; **price is authoritative from the
-   mediator; every render-source and notification field comes from the
-   stored candidate; deal fields are out of scope entirely** (no deal
-   identity exists in the model — revision 6's "deal fields from mediator"
-   is deleted). A mediator bid whose **any** render-source field differs
-   from the stored candidate is reclassified mediator-native. An echoed id
-   that does **not** resolve → that bid is discarded and counted
-   (`provenance_invalid`); **mediator-native bids and direct candidates
-   for the slot all remain eligible** — "fails closed" applies to the
-   invalid claim, not the slot.
-4. Floors filter both populations; echoed candidates remove their direct
-   twins.
-5. **Selection order (total):** decoded CPM desc → provenance rank
-   (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc (fingerprints compare as
-   their hex strings). Arrival order can never matter.
-6. **Strategy** required when mediator + direct providers coexist:
-   `mediator_only` (timeout → no winners unless
-   `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"`) or `merge_highest_cpm`
-   (timeout → direct-only, reported).
-7. Reporting: `selection_summary` rows + `_totals` (§5.6).

-### 6.2–6.5
-
-As revision 6: exact dimensions with structured drops; script creatives
-default-off but loud — **DR-2's output is a deployment decision** (enable
-with explicit sandbox/security approval, or accept a quantified maximum
-excluded-demand share and gate Phase 3 on it), not a documentation

+   `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`; the mediator echoes it (contract
+   for every mediator, `adserver_mock` included). Echoed id resolves →
+   the forwarded candidate, provenance `mediator`: **price is
+   authoritative from the mediator; every render-source and
+   notification field comes from the stored candidate; deal fields are
+   out of scope entirely** (no deal identity exists in the model). A
+   mediator bid whose any render-source field differs from the stored
+   candidate is reclassified mediator-native. An unresolvable echoed id
+   → that bid is discarded and counted (`provenance_invalid`);
+   mediator-native bids **and direct candidates remain eligible** —
+   fail-closed applies to the invalid claim, not the slot.
+4. Floors filter both populations; echoed candidates remove their
+   direct twins (`dedup_hits`).
+5. **Selection order (total, intrinsic):** decoded CPM desc →
+   provenance rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc.
+   Arrival order can never matter.
+6. **Strategy** required when mediator + direct providers coexist
+   (startup error if absent): `mediator_only` (timeout → no winners
+   unless `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"`) or
+   `merge_highest_cpm` (timeout → direct-only, reported).
+7. Reporting: `selection_summary` slot rows + totals row (§5.6).
+
+### 6.2 Dimensions
+
+Exact size membership stays (`aps.rs:675`). The fix is visibility
+(`bid_drop{invalid_dimensions, w, h}`) plus documentation ("request the
+sizes you accept"); accepting unrequested sizes would conceal an
+upstream protocol violation.
+
+### 6.3 Script creatives
+
+`allow_script_creatives` stays default-`false`; the consequence is loud
+(§5.8). **DR-2's output is a deployment decision:** enable with explicit
+sandbox/security approval, or accept a quantified maximum
+excluded-demand share and gate Phase 3 on it.
+
+### 6.4 Render identity
+
+As specified in G2 (token format, registry-union capacity, tombstones,
+cache-path byte identity).
+
+### 6.5 Fallback
+
+As specified in G4e/G4a/G4f (attribution-gated child attempt; awaitable
+renderer conversion precedes it; timeouts never render).

+  every adapter** (the APS provider stays config-gated); startup
+  validation fails if an auth handler pattern covers it; §G5 isolation
+  rules apply.
+- Path `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`, embedded, served
+  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`; canary versions
+  `no-store` (or bounded below cohort lifetime); a **checked-in header
+  manifest per renderer version** freezes headers (CSP included) with
+  the bytes — a version's headers never change after publication.
+  Unknown versions → 404 `no-store`.
+- Three-message acknowledgement per G4b sequence 1.
+- Server route counters are aggregate (`ts_ops_counters`) — the nonce
+  rides the URL fragment and never reaches the server.
+- **CSP rollout, three instruments:** discovery on the **currently
+  enforced** policy with reporting attached (report-only alone cannot
+  reveal what the enforced policy already blocks); **tightening** via
+  report-only; **relaxation** via a small enforced cohort on a
+  short-lived canary version, gated on runner acceptance rate, CSP
+  violation rate, and render-failure rate, with a kill switch; once
+  frozen, a new immutable `/v2` ships. **CSP reports are advisory** —
+  for opaque-origin reports the body-supplied document URL and policy
+  version are forgeable, so policy identity is encoded in the
+  **server-selected report path** (`/_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>`);
+  bucketed aggregation only (§5.6 buckets, global and per-cohort caps);
+  never a sole automatic rollback signal. Browser capture on Chromium,
+  Firefox, and WebKit (CI is Chromium-only today,
+  `playwright.config.ts:16`; the matrix extends for this suite).
 
 ### 6.7 One descriptor schema
 
-As revision 6 (generated JSON-Schema + TS parser + ES5 inline fragment +
-fixtures; semantic validators handwritten; outer tolerance only; the
-per-reason `source` validity matrix of §5.1 joins the generated artifacts).
+Wire truth is the tagged `BidRenderer` envelope (discriminator on the
+enum, `types.rs:188-211`). A wire-schema crate/xtask (separate from
+`trusted-server-js` — core already depends on it, `Cargo.toml:45`, so
+the reverse edge would cycle) generates: the JSON-Schema artifact, the
+TS structural parser, the ES5 inline validator fragment, the §5.1
+per-event/per-reason validity matrix, and shared fixtures — checked in,
+staleness-gated. Semantic checks stay handwritten on both sides
+(URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length bounds, the exact one-bid
+AAX projection, cross-field equality). Unknown-field tolerance applies
+only to the outer versioned descriptor; the decoded AAX envelope
+remains an exact projection. A shared positive + adversarial corpus
+(extra fields, wrong versions, oversized payloads, URL smuggling,
+non-canonical base64) runs through the Rust validator, the generated TS
+parser, and the generated inline fragment in CI.
 
 ### 6.8 Bridge hardening
 
-As revision 6: parse → identify TS-reserved (live **or tombstoned**, G2) →
-`stopImmediatePropagation` → validate source (bounded walk) →
-nonce/token/`nav_gen`/`refresh_gen` → respond or refuse. Non-TS ids
-untouched. Stolen-token test proves neither TS nor native Prebid responds.
+Processing order (normative; preserves the baseline defense that stops
+propagation before source validation, `gpt/index.ts:1584-1637`):
+
+1. parse `e.data` (bare catch → return);
+2. identify a TS-reserved ad id — **live registry or tombstone** (G2);
+3. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` before any validation —
+   a rejected foreign frame must not be answerable by Prebid's native
+   handler either;
+4. validate source ownership via the bounded walk: known slot-root
+   `WindowProxy` map, the sender's own parent chain
+   (`event.source.parent`, …) to depth 5 — never scanning an
+   attacker-controllable frame tree;
+5. validate nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` (G4b);
+6. respond, or refuse with `bridge_id_mismatch`.
+
+Non-TS ad ids are untouched. The stolen-token browser test asserts
+**neither TS nor the native Prebid listener responds**; listener
+registration order has a real-browser assertion. Renderer branches emit
+the full §5.1 sequence with G4d notifications only on carrying paths.
 
 ## 7. TSJS target architecture
 
 ### 7.1 Layering
 
-As revision 6, with G3's corrected lint mechanics and the adapter-scope
-clarification (external ad-tech globals only).
-
-### 7.2 Adapters / 7.3 Slot registry
-
-As revision 6 (registry holds the G4a causal queue; cycle/drain state
-RuntimeSession; unissued intents NavigationSession).
-
-### 7.4 Final global surface
-
-Revision 6's table **plus** the row the review found missing:
-
-| Legacy surface | Final shape                                           |
-| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
-| (new, public)  | `tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install, dispose?})` |
-
-Bootstrap: field-wise idempotent init (`window.tsjs ||= {}; tsjs.que ||=
-[]; tsjs.boot ||= {}`; the ad-slot script's `window.tsjs = {}` at
-`publisher.rs:3665` is fixed); **transactional ownership**: states
-`unclaimed → installing → kernel | fallback`. The kernel installs wrappers
-**inert** and flips them live at a single commit point; on a throw before
-commit it unwinds its registered disposers (the §7.6 machinery applied to
-kernel boot itself) and marks `failed`; the 10 s watchdog treats a stuck
-`installing` as failed; **fallback claims ownership only from
-`unclaimed | failed`** — never beside a committed kernel. A bundle
-arriving after fallback committed defers for the page (`bundle_partial`).
-Tests: throw injected after each boot checkpoint.
-
-### 7.5 Messaging / 7.6 Plugins and sessions / 7.7 Bootstrap / 7.8 GPT / 7.9 Decomposition
+```
+kernel/          boot, config, queue, event bus, log, beacon, sessions
+adapters/        googletag.ts, pbjs.ts, messaging.ts   ← only access to external ad-tech globals
+services/        slots (registry+handoff), auction client, render engine, consent
+integrations/    gpt, prebid, aps, creative, datadome, …
+```
 
-As revision 6 (plugin API object form with `release`; transactional
-install; sessions; generated no-bundle fallback; unconditional GPT
-subscriptions; decomposition table).
+Enforced by the two G3 lint rule families. Dissolves the audited
+inversions (`core/auction.ts`/`core/request.ts` →
+`integrations/aps/render`; `gpt`/`prebid` → `aps`; `prebid` owning the
+GPT refresh wrapper). Kernel imports nothing above it; adapters import
+kernel only; services import kernel + adapters; integrations import
+kernel + services, never each other; stateful services via the G3
+registry only.
+
+### 7.2 Adapters
+
+Per external global: `present | pending | timed_out`; `timed_out` is
+non-terminal (late GPT/pbjs/CMP arrival transitions to `present` and
+drains what is still valid); queued operations carry their own timeouts
+and expire with disposition reasons.
+
+### 7.3 Slot registry service
+
+Kernel-owned; `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` + div-id index;
+ownership (ts/publisher/adopted), adoption, handoff claims, responsive
+resolution, the G4a causal intent queue (NavigationSession for unissued
+intents) and cycle/drain state (RuntimeSession), targeting-key history.
+No expandos on GPT objects (`__tsRenderGeneration`/`__tsRenderBid`
+deleted).
+
+### 7.4 Final global surface (hard cutover)
+
+| Legacy surface (removed at cutover)     | Final shape                                                           |
+| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `window.tsjs.que`                       | `window.tsjs.que` — unchanged, the one public queue                   |
+| `globalThis.tscreative`                 | `tsjs.creative.*`                                                     |
+| `globalThis.tsCreativeConfig`           | `tsjs.boot.creative`                                                  |
+| `requestAds` (void)                     | one async `tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>` (G4f) |
+| `window.__tsjs_*` flags, config globals | `tsjs.boot.*`                                                         |
+| install manifest                        | `tsjs.boot.manifest` (`{release_id, plugins: [{id, order}]}`)         |
+| expandos / function sentinels           | `SlotRecord` fields / kernel `WeakSet`                                |
+| `tsjs._internal`                        | kernel registry (G3), frozen after boot                               |
+| (new, public)                           | `tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install})`                           |
+
+**Bootstrap correctness and transactional ownership:** every
+server-injected initializer creates the container **idempotently,
+field-wise** — `window.tsjs ||= {}; tsjs.que ||= []; tsjs.boot ||= {}`
+(the ad-slot script's `window.tsjs = {}` at `publisher.rs:3665` is
+fixed). Ownership states: `unclaimed → installing → kernel | fallback`,
+with an **owner generation** counter. The kernel installs wrappers
+**inert** and flips them live at a single commit point; a throw before
+commit runs the shared unwind inventory and marks `failed`. **The
+watchdog path is race-free:** on a 10 s stuck `installing`, the
+watchdog aborts the owner-generation-scoped `AbortController`, runs the
+same shared unwind inventory to completion, and only then atomically
+transitions `failed → fallback`; **every late kernel continuation and
+disposer validates the owner generation** and self-discards on
+mismatch — a resumed async installation can neither overwrite fallback
+wrappers nor perform a stale commit. A bundle arriving after fallback
+committed defers for the page (`bundle_partial`). Tests: throws
+injected after each boot checkpoint **and** hung checkpoints that
+resume after fallback claims ownership.
+
+### 7.5 Messaging module
+
+All `postMessage` through one module: versioned envelopes, name
+constants (the `'Prebid Request'` literal appears at six sites today;
+the APS handshake existed in three copies), G4b nonces, §6.8
+validation. The minimal module (envelope + constants + validators used
+by the bridge) lands in Phase 1; full call-site migration in Phase 4.
+
+### 7.6 Plugin lifecycle — transactional — and sessions
+
+`tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install})` — object form; `release` is
+the build-generated `release_id` constant; **there is no plugin-level
+`dispose` hook** — disposal is exclusively `ctx.onDispose`
+registrations, which have exactly-once reverse-order semantics
+(revision 7's optional `dispose?` had no defined ordering and is
+removed). `install(ctx): void | Promise<void>`:
+
+- `ctx.signal` (aborted on quarantine/disposal); synchronous
+  `ctx.onDispose(fn)`; effects registered as they are made;
+  reverse-order unwind on throw/reject/abort; per-disposer exception
+  isolation; a disposer registered after disposal is invoked
+  immediately; pending late registrations capacity 16, bound 10 s →
+  `bundle_partial`; release mismatch quarantines before `install`.
+- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime: bridge listener +
+  reservation store, history hook, pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon
+  queue, physical slot cycle/drain state, in-memory diagnostic
+  credential); `NavigationSession` (per navigation: trace +
+  authorization + renewal timer, render attempts, slot aliases,
+  unissued intents, targeting history); `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle
+  / G4f attempt). Each owns an enumerable disposal inventory;
+  navigation disposes NavigationSession children only.
+- Error policy: no empty `catch` — handle, log with context, or emit a
+  disposition. The auction fetch gains timeout + `AbortController` and
+  the G4f discriminated result.
+- **Console logging retained, not replaced:** every issue-surfacing
+  condition keeps or gains a `log.warn` carrying the same reason code
+  as its beacon event; `debug`-level delivery/security failures are
+  promoted to `warn`.
+
+### 7.7 Bootstrap
+
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` (495 ES5 lines duplicating handoff/initial-load/
+hydration logic, with the live `servicesEnabled` divergence) shrinks to
+a queue-and-flags stub; the bundle replays recorded early calls on
+install (browser specs cover replay timing); the no-bundle fallback
+("ads render if the bundle fails", pinned by `gpt.rs:1174-1179`) is
+**generated from the same TypeScript source** at build time, activated
+per §7.4's transactional rules.
+
+### 7.8 GPT correctness carried with the restructure
+
+Unconditional early `slotRequested`/`slotRenderEnded` subscription
+(replacing the `!servicesEnabled` gate, `gpt/index.ts:1091`; idempotent
+recording); restore the #922 orphan-slot recovery and `updateRender`
+enrichment (DR-3 decides #997 vs re-merge); `changeCorrelator: false`
+on TS-initiated refreshes (configurable); `enableSingleRequest()` only
+when GPT services are not already enabled; ambiguous responsive
+resolution emits `render_fail{slot_unresolved}` alongside its console
+warning.
+
+### 7.9 Decomposition targets

-
-Phases (build milestones inside the one release):
+Single-release state machine per §0 (authenticated sticky-cohort
+affinity; infrastructure-attributed cohorts). The normative gates table
+is Appendix A; every gate names a **checked-in artifact** (versioned
+Tinybird pipe under `tinybird/pipes/`, script under `scripts/gates/`,
+or workflow under `.github/workflows/`) — prose never substitutes for
+an executable reference. Threshold changes require reviewed decision
+records.
+
+**Phase 0 decision records** (owner, evidence, deadline, explicit
+go/no-go): DR-1 mediator presence (gates §6.1's Phase-3 scope); DR-2
+script creatives — a **deployment decision** (§6.3); DR-3 #997 vs
+re-merge (#922 restoration path); DR-4 mediator candidate-id echo owner
+and timeline (`merge_highest_cpm` is config-blocked until delivered);
+DR-5 non-Fastly sinks (splits Phase-2 gates).
 
 - **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain, decisions.** Release-time
-  asset materialization; `format_version`; §5.6 schemas writer-off;
-  toolchain floors; dead expando deletion; drop surfacing; decision
-  records DR-1..DR-5 (DR-2 now a deployment decision, §6.2–6.5; DR-4
-  gates `merge_highest_cpm`; DR-5 splits Phase-2 gates).
+  asset materialization; `format_version` + config-hash verification;
+  §5.6 schemas deployed writer-off; toolchain floors; dead expando
+  deletion; §5.8 drop surfacing; the five DRs; the gate artifacts
+  themselves (pipes/scripts/workflows).
 - **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry,
   transactional bootstrap ownership.**
-- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** All three issuance paths + renewal +
-  diagnostic credential + probe mode; four-adapter ingest incl.
-  `/_ts/trace-auth` in the isolation family; heartbeats. Gates split:
-  HTTP parity (all adapters) vs persistence (sink-backed).
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** As revision 6, plus `notification_sent`
-  observability and per-flow funnel gating (the `flow` field): expected-
-  stage tables per flow live in the gates file; denominator = server-
-  observed eligible APS wins **within sampled/diagnostic traces**;
-  `cycle_unattributable` gated; one-sided non-inferiority for fill/p95;
-  duplicate-`burl` invariant via `notification_sent` key hashes.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Layering, plugins, adapters, registry,
-  messaging, namespace; four-flow behavioral parity.
-- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; bootstrap stub +
-  generated fallback (error/hang/arbitration tests); four-flow parity
-  rerun; **then the full Phase-3 statistical canary/control gate and the
-  real-GAM suite are repeated on the exact immutable release candidate**
-  before router weight rises beyond the low-weight canary; then weight-up,
-  purge, 24 h monitored window.
+- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** Issuance on all three paths + renewal +
+  diagnostic upgrade + probe mode; four-adapter ingest incl.
+  `/_ts/trace-auth`; per-sink probes. Gates split per DR-5: HTTP parity
+  (all adapters) vs persistence (sink-backed).
+- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus; §6.1 with required
+  `winner_selection` + `[auction].currency`; render token + reservation
+  store; renderer route + three-message ack + CSP report route; §6.8;
+  G4a–G4g; `notification_sent` with server-minted `notif_id`; fallback;
+  DR-3 restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
+- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + both lint families; plugin
+  lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
+  final namespace; four-flow behavioral parity.
+- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; script-guard
+  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback (error/hang/
+  arbitration tests); four-flow parity rerun; **the full Phase-3
+  statistical canary/control gates and the real-GAM suite repeat on the
+  exact immutable release candidate** before router weight rises beyond
+  the low-weight canary; then weight-up, purge, 24 h monitored window.
+
+**Statistical method (normative for A.1 production gates):**
+populations are **sampled traces only** — diagnostic traffic is
+operator-selected and failure-enriched, so it is reported separately
+and never enters a statistical gate. Assignment unit = the sticky
+cohort token (browser session); cohorts randomized at HTML request;
+stratification by publisher and slot. Non-inferiority gates use
+**one-sided 95% confidence bounds on the relative difference**
+(canary/control − 1 ≥ −2% for fill and billing-per-1,000-attempts;
+canary/control − 1 ≤ +2% for p95 latency); improvements always pass.
+Floors are **per flow per arm** (Appendix A); flows that cannot reach
+their floor in the window (direct, fallback at low adoption) are gated
+hermetically and by the real-GAM suite instead of statistically — a
+rare flow never permanently blocks rollout, and a statistical gate that
+cannot reach its floor is **inconclusive** (extend once, then Hold).
+`cycle_unattributable` is divided by **all TS request cycles that were
+candidates for attribution** — the failures live in their own
+denominator. Missing telemetry counts as failure. Billing reconciliation
+(§G4d) runs alongside as the authoritative duplicate check.

-## 10. Alternatives / 11. Risks
-
-As revision 6, plus: **rejected** — per-request Fastly concatenation
-(replaced by release-time materialization); trusting client-asserted
-sampling on renewal (replaced by token-presentation renewal); FIFO
-tombstone eviction (replaced by union capacity with refusal). Risk added:
-sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure the cutover depends on — it is
-Phase 0 work and its coherence test is release-gating.
+Hermetic CI blocks PRs; the real-GAM suite is release-gating per

+## 10. Alternatives considered
+
+1. Patching APS point-failures without telemetry — rejected: four
+   correct fixes have not produced reliable ads.
+2. Always direct-render APS (skip GAM/PUC) — rejected: changes GAM
+   reporting/pacing unilaterally; kept as the attributed-`gam_empty`
+   fallback.
+3. Single module graph / shared chunks now — rejected for this release:
+   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes;
+   successor option behind the same registry surface.
+4. Full rewrite in one branch without phases — rejected: the
+   browser-spec safety net is thinnest exactly where behavior changes.
+5. Dropping the ES5 bootstrap — rejected: loses the pinned no-bundle
+   guarantee; the generated fallback keeps it.
+6. Timeout-triggered fallback rendering — rejected: GPT requests cannot
+   be cancelled; timeout racing a late fill can double-render and
+   double-bill.
+7. Timeout-based quarantine re-arm — rejected (recreates the stale-event
+   bug).
+8. N/N−1 compatibility machinery — removed by the §0 policy decision.
+9. Client-computed notification hashes — rejected (no key without
+   breaking the pseudonymization boundary); server-minted `notif_id`.
+10. Fingerprint identities for id-less bids — rejected (can merge
+    distinct demand); rejection with closed reasons instead.
+11. Plain readable cohort cookie — rejected (dark-pool opt-in +
+    cache-cardinality abuse); opaque authenticated token.
+12. `billing_outcome` event — removed (no honest producer exists).
+
+## 11. Risks
+
+- Hard-cutover blast radius — accepted by policy; bounded by the §0
+  runbook (probes, low-weight canary, 24 h window, weight-back
+  rollback).
+- Sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure the cutover depends on —
+  Phase 0 work; its coherence test is release-gating.
+- Mediator wire-contract change (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
+  `merge_highest_cpm`; config validation enforces the block.
+- Notification triggers become a published contract for PBS-path
+  demand — changing them later is a breaking change for SSP reporting.
+- Required `[auction].currency` and `winner_selection` (mediated
+  deployments) are a deliberate startup-error class under §0.
+- Beacon abuse — pre-parse caps, per-family origin policies, fail-closed
+  numeric limits, signed modes, credentialed diagnostics.
+- Registry/limiter memory — explicit capacities, TTL reclamation,
+  reject-at-capacity; Fastly overshoot documented, not claimed.
+- CSP data is advisory — never a sole rollback signal.
+- Sink blindness — per-datasource probes with datasource-side queries.
+- ABI freeze — `tsjs._internal.registry` is load-bearing; exact-release
+  verdicts are the contract.
+- Schema generation — checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-Revision 6's criteria with these corrections: (2) diagnostic completeness
-is achieved via the §2.5 gate split (content vs volume); (5) attempt
-counts keyed `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; (10) the
-duplicate-`burl` invariant is measured via `notification_sent` key hashes
-in production and by hermetic tests, with external billing reconciliation
-as backstop; (add 13) the Phase-3 statistical and real-GAM gates pass on
-the exact immutable Phase-5 release candidate before weight-up; (add 14)
-the Appendix A gates table shipped with this design and every later change
-carries a reviewed decision record; (add 15) the baseline APS fix behaviors
-are re-implemented in the target architecture with the baseline browser
-tests passing unmodified as the conformance pin.
+1. APS creatives render in each configured flow (SSAT, client-Prebid,
+   page-bids, direct), hermetically and in the release-gating real-GAM
+   suite per Appendix A.3's enumerated topologies.
+2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; diagnostic mode names the
+   failing class from one page load (including A1–A4 via the debug
+   envelopes, and including an initially-unsampled page via pre-upgrade
+   buffering); §5.7 SLIs hold on sink-backed deployments.
+3. Both lint families pass with zero exceptions; stateful sharing only
+   via the registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.
+4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
+   generated.
+5. Attempt counts key on `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`;
+   traces stay navigation-scoped; no double counting; orphan recovery
+   has a non-vacuous test; G4a holds including caller-independent
+   retirement and same-class supersession.
+6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` with the §7.4 final
+   shape; no expandos; legacy names gone at cutover.
+7. §7.10 budgets hold on the dedicated pinned workflow.
+8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+
+   with the beacon's reason code.
+9. TypeScript floor matches resolved 5.9 with the §7.11 flags via the
+   checked-in `typecheck` script; `prebid.js` pin documented with the
+   deployed bundle.
+10. `nurl`/`burl` fire only on carrying paths at their G4d binds,
+    attempt-scoped and idempotent; APS fires neither; hermetic
+    exactly-once tests pass; production duplicates alarm via
+    `notification_sent` and reconcile to zero via billing reports.
+11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store`; authorizations
+    are per-trace, signed, mode-carrying, renewal-preserving, with
+    diagnostic upgrade as the sole authenticated mode transition;
+    unsampled traces transmit nothing.
+12. The cutover runbook rehearsed (weight switch, purge, rollback);
+    config-hash verification enforced.
+13. The Phase-3 statistical and real-GAM gates pass on the exact
+    immutable Phase-5 release candidate before weight-up.
+14. The Appendix A gates table shipped with this design; every change
+    carries a reviewed decision record.
+15. The baseline APS fix behaviors are re-implemented in the target
+    architecture with the baseline browser tests passing unmodified.

Subject: [PATCH 215/494] Revise design spec for the eighth review round

Revision 9 closes the mandatory set: distinct attempt_id with nullable
parent_attempt_id (fallback children are separate rows; attempt views
key on attempt_id, the tuple is grouping only); one discriminated
render_terminal event replacing the unrepresentable accepted/fail
pair; diagnostic renewal bounded forever by a signed dexp ceiling;
telemetry batching capped by both events and bytes with ingest budgets
derived from worst-case honest traffic so the limiter cannot reject
steady state; CSP report affinity routed by server-selected policy_id
path instead of the cookie the opaque renderer cannot send; an
observation-only control build plus arm-specific datasources and a
stamped deployment_pool so the control arm can populate sampled gates;
assignment_id as the clustered randomization unit with a checked-in
bootstrap estimator and named numerator/denominator/source per gate;
t_rel_ms as the monotonic latency basis; the ADM acknowledgement moved
into the trusted owner so the nonce never enters the bidder realm; an
AuctionBatch owning multi-slot fetch cancellation; a read-only bridge
lookup that emits the altered-id matched:false signal without
suppressing native Prebid; per-datasource authenticated probes with an
injected-failure alert drill; complete CSP and ops schemas, settings,
and sink handles; Nullable(UUID) join typing with explicit grains;
AuctionDropReason exhaustive over baseline producers via one shared
typed enum with a compile-time test; the withdrawn Fastly overshoot
multiple; a page-bound kill switch honestly scoped; config_hash SHA-256
verification and a fully specified affinity token with vectors;
state-dependent post-cutover routing defaults; the removed plugin
dispose hook; normative notification dispatch mechanics; a reproducible
CDP heap procedure; and RC attestation binding the real-GAM gate to the
exact immutable build.

 # APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Architecture — Design
 
-- **Status:** revision 8 — reworked after the seventh review round and made
-  fully self-contained: no contract in this document is defined by reference
-  to an earlier revision.
+- **Status:** revision 9 — closes the eighth review round's mandatory set:
+  attempt schema, diagnostic renewal, telemetry/gate model, CSP routing, and
+  rollout measurement. Fully self-contained.
 - **Date:** 2026-08-04
 - **Baseline:** `rc/july` @ `248fe9558` ("Fix APS PUC rendering and collapsed
   GAM shells"). All file:line citations refer to this commit.
-- **Inputs:** three code audits; design reviews of revisions 1–7; open issues

   #926, #941, #944, #962, #964, #977, #983, #989, #993; open PR #997.
-- **Normative gates:** the initial rollout-gates table is **Appendix A**;
-  changes require reviewed decision records so thresholds cannot be chosen
-  after observing results.
-- **Adoption stance for the baseline APS fixes (`248fe9558`):** this design
-  adopts their **contracts** — the MessageChannel handshake semantics, the
-  collapsed-shell remediation behavior, the consolidated bridge branch — and
-  **re-implements them inside the target architecture** (the messaging module
-  owns the channel protocol, the render engine owns the resize, the rebuilt
-  `render_bridge` module owns the branch). The patch code is not carried
-  forward; the baseline's browser tests are retained unmodified as the
-  conformance suite pinning the adopted behavior.

 ## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
 
-One coordinated release:
-
-- Server, TSJS bundles, config, and HTML ship under one **`release_id`**
-  (git tag / build hash). **No N/N−1**; in-flight clients may fail at
-  cutover — accepted and stated, not mitigated.
-- **Exact release matching**: kernel, services, plugins, and the install
-  manifest carry the same `release_id`; mismatch is a refusal.
-- **Config is a release-time, content-verified input.** The config blob gains
-  a top-level `format_version` (exact match required). Publish order: blob
-  first, deployment manifest second. The manifest binds each pool to
-  immutable `{release_id, config_store, config_key, config_hash}`, and the
-  binary **verifies the loaded blob's hash against the manifest at
-  startup** — a mismatch is a startup failure, so a config overwrite cannot
-  mutate a supposedly immutable release or invalidate pre-materialized asset
-  vectors. Rollback = redeploy the previous release with its own verified
-  config; the rollback binding is prevalidated.
-- **Assets:** binaries embed only their release's artifacts; hashed pathnames
-  exist for cache identity; unknown hash → `410 Gone`, `no-store`.
-- **Rollout state machine with authenticated release affinity.** The new
-  pool comes up fully enabled, reachable only by probes. Canarying uses a
-  **sticky, opaque, authenticated cohort token**: the router sets `ts-rel`
-  on the HTML response — an HMAC-signed opaque value binding
-  `{publisher_host, release_id, cohort, exp}` (attributes: `Secure;
-HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Path=/`; TTL 24 h) — and routes every subsequent
-  request by the **validated** token; invalid, expired, forged, or
-  non-allowlisted tokens route to control and are reissued; tokens for
-  retired releases are reassigned on next HTML response after rollback.
-  Cache keys use the post-validation release label (bounded cardinality;
-  raw cookie values never key caches). A plain readable release id would
-  let any visitor opt into the dark pool and would hand cache-key
-  cardinality to attackers — hence opaque and authenticated. Because
-  affinity rides a cookie, **the beacon and CSP-report transports use
-  `credentials: "same-origin"`** (not `omit`): the cookie exists for the
-  routing layer only; application handlers still derive no identity from
-  it. Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive;
-  flags are in-pool emergency kill switches. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN
-  purge; rollback = weight back + re-purge. The affinity acceptance test
-  covers HTML, assets, APIs, **beacons, and CSP reports**.
-- **Canary/control discrimination is infrastructure-attributed:** each pool
-  writes telemetry with **pool-specific datasource tokens**, so cohort
-  attribution comes from the write identity, not from in-row fields the
-  control binary (the baseline) does not emit; in-row `release_id` from the
-  new pool is secondary confirmation.
+- One release: server, TSJS bundles, config, HTML under one **`release_id`**.
+  No N/N−1; in-flight clients may fail at cutover — accepted and stated.
+- **Exact release matching**; mismatch is a refusal.
+- **Config is a release-time, content-verified input.** `format_version`
+  exact-match. **`config_hash` = SHA-256 over the exact fetched envelope
+  bytes**, bound through compiled release metadata (or a signed manifest
+  with an embedded verification key); the binary verifies at startup and
+  fails loudly on mismatch. Publish order: blob, then manifest. Rollback =
+  redeploy the previous release with its own verified config; binding
+  prevalidated.
+- Assets: embedded only; hashed pathnames for cache identity; unknown hash →
+  `410`, `no-store`.
+- **Authenticated sticky affinity.** The router sets `ts-rel` on HTML
+  responses — format `r1.<kid>.<exp>.<release>.<cohort>.<assignment_id>.
+<sig>`: `kid ^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; canonical decimal `exp` (TTL 24 h);
+  `release` from the allowlist; `cohort ∈ {canary, control}`;
+  `assignment_id` = 32-hex CSPRNG (the pseudonymous **randomization unit**,
+  §8); `sig` = unpadded base64url HMAC-SHA-256 over the domain-separated
+  length-prefixed input `"ts-affinity-v1" || u32be-len fields ||
+u64be(exp)`; keys owned and rotated by the routing layer (active +
+  previous, ≥ 24 h retention); constant-time verification; test vectors
+  checked in. Attributes `Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Path=/`. Cache
+  keys use the post-validation release label only.
+- **State-dependent routing defaults:** during canary, valid tokens route by
+  their binding; invalid/expired/forged → control + reissue. **After forward
+  cutover ("weight 100%"), the safe default flips:** stale, invalid, or
+  control-bound tokens on HTML requests are reassigned to the active
+  release; non-HTML requests with unknown or stale tokens route to the
+  active release — 100% means 100%, not "except 24 h of old cookies."
+  Rollback flips the default back.
+- **CSP-report affinity never depends on cookies:** the renderer is
+  sandboxed without `allow-same-origin` (`aps/render.ts:4`), so its
+  browser-generated reports are cross-origin to the publisher endpoint and
+  carry no cookie. Release/cohort identity is encoded in the
+  **server-generated report path's `policy_id`** (minted per
+  `{release, policy version, cohort}`, registered in the header manifest);
+  the router routes `/_ts/csp-reports/<policy_id>` by that registry.
+- Beacon and trace-auth transports use `credentials: "same-origin"` so the
+  affinity cookie routes them; handlers derive no identity from cookies.
+- **Canary/control measurement (closing the empty-control-arm gap):** the
+  control pool for Phase-3 statistics runs an **observation-only control
+  build** — the baseline plus Phase-2 instrumentation only (trace, beacon,
+  probes; zero behavior changes) — so both arms emit comparable sampled
+  telemetry. Arms write to **arm-specific datasources**; the canonical
+  union view stamps a trusted `deployment_pool` dimension from the write
+  identity (token → dataset → arm), making the arm a queryable row
+  dimension rather than an authorization side effect.
+- Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive; flags
+  are in-pool emergency kill switches. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN purge;
+  rollback = weight back + re-purge. The affinity acceptance test covers
+  HTML, assets, APIs, beacons, and CSP reports (via path identity).
 
 ## 1. Problem statement
 
-APS demand is fully integrated server-side — the edge runs the APS OpenRTB
-auction, wins bids, and ships a typed renderer descriptor — yet APS
-creatives do not appear reliably. Four serial fixes (the `bid.meta`
-carrier, the decoupled shim, the `hb_adid` fallback, the baseline
-PUC/collapsed-shell fix) each survived review; the pattern is the finding:
-**multiple independent failure points, most failing silently**, with no
-client→server signal about which fired. The TSJS library (56 files,
-~11,900 lines, two ~1,800-line monoliths, duplicated ES5/TS logic,
-inverted layering, ~100 error-swallowing catches) is the same problem
-structurally.

-  must be finite and in `[0, 1]` (validated at load; 0 → nothing sampled,

-  and stamped on every event of attempts born from that auction.
-  Generations (`nav_gen`, `refresh_gen`) exist **client-side only**, for

 ### G4 — Render lifecycle
 
-**G4a — Physical request cycles.**
-
-- **Intents, both classes, one causal queue.** Every observable
-  initiation — TS and wrapped publisher `display()`/`refresh()` — records
-  an intent in causal order, classified `ts | publisher`. Any
-  `display()` issued while initial load is disabled is **retired at
-  issuance regardless of caller** (GPT is caller-independent, §3.8) — it
-  never enters the matcher. Hindsight zero-request intents (`refresh()`
-  on a never-displayed slot) expire at 2 s with `intent_no_request`;
-  **any later request-capable intent — same class or opposite —
-  supersedes a pending uncertain intent immediately**, and if the
-  uncertain intent's request could still legitimately be in flight
-  (within its 2 s bound), the next `slotRequested` is ambiguous and the
-  slot quarantines. A stale no-op `refresh()` can therefore never steal
-  a later `display()`'s request in either direction, TS→TS,
-  publisher→publisher, or across classes.
-- **Cycles** open only on `slotRequested`, matched to the causal queue
-  head; SRA batching yields one per slot per batch; cycles close on
-  `slotRenderEnded`; `responseIdentifier` deduplicates responses during
-  drain (it never attributes initiation).
-- **Serialization:** at most one outstanding TS cycle per slot; one
-  queued TS replacement (later intents coalesce).
-- **Attribution:** a `slotRenderEnded` is attributable iff exactly one TS
-  cycle is outstanding and no publisher/untracked request overlaps;
-  otherwise quarantine (`cycle_unattributable`), fail closed.
-- **No timeout re-arm.** Physical cycle/drain state lives in the
-  RuntimeSession slot record; unissued intents are NavigationSession
-  children (cancelled by navigation disposal). A quarantined or stale
-  slot re-arms only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned
-  destroy/redefine, or page end. Timeouts emit diagnostics and never
-  restore attribution. Late stale events are matched and discarded
-  (`stale_navigation`).
-- Deterministic-harness CI plus the release-gating real-GAM suite
-  (topologies enumerated in Appendix A.3).
-
-**G4b — Acknowledgement, per render path.** Four normative sequences;
-each names its nonce producer, transport, authenticated acceptance
-observation, cancellation, and deadlines (document 3 s, runner 10 s,
-adm 5 s). All nonces are per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG values minted by the
-attempt owner; the kernel validates, in order: source ownership (§6.8
-walk), nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` — before any transition or
-notification. Navigation/supersession invalidates the nonce; late acks →
-`stale_navigation`.
-
-1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): bridge mints the nonce;
-   MessageChannel into the renderer document (`ports.length` checks,
-   exact-key replies, one-shot `accepted` latch, port close —
-   `aps.rs:65-125`, `aps/render.ts:415-437`); the document posts
-   authenticated `renderer_document_loaded` then
-   `render_accepted | render_failed{reason}` to the top window.
-2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC:** the display renderer creates the sandboxed
-   adm frame with an injected reporter snippet that posts authenticated
-   `adm_document_loaded{nonce}` on document load; acceptance = that
-   message (the baseline merely appends an iframe with no observation).
-3. **Direct APS** (`renderApsCreative`): the kernel is the frame parent;
-   the baseline parent-postMessage branch (`ports.length === 0`) is
-   already kernel-observed; same three messages, same validation.
-4. **Direct ADM/cache:** as (2) with the kernel as parent.
-
-**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal state.** Inline-adm frames are
-sandboxed `srcdoc` without `allow-same-origin` (`gpt/index.ts:510`) —
-opaque; geometry proves nothing. Observations: `gam_nonempty`,
-`gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded, reason?}`
-(observation and remediation separate), `renderer_document_loaded`,
-`runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`, `adm_document_loaded`. **An attempt has
-exactly one terminal state: `accepted | failed{reason} | no_bid |
-cancelled`.** Post-acceptance runner failure is an observation only —
-there is **no** `billing_outcome` event: no path has an honest producer
-for a post-accept billing-failure claim (APS is excluded from
-notifications and opaque frames offer no authenticated post-accept
-signal), so the design does not pretend otherwise. No observation claims
-paint; there is no `render_confirmed`. The baseline resize
-(`gpt/index.ts:217`) is a sanctioned, guarded exception to the
-no-foreign-DOM-mutation rule (authenticated source frame only; wrapper
-only when both dimensions ≤ 1 px; anchor-ad and fixed/sticky guards).
+**G4a — Physical request cycles.** Intents (both classes, one causal
+queue): any `display()` under disabled initial load is retired at
+issuance regardless of caller; hindsight zero-request intents expire at
+2 s with `intent_no_request`; **any later request-capable intent — same
+class or opposite — supersedes a pending uncertain intent**, and if the
+uncertain one could still be in flight, the next `slotRequested` is
+ambiguous → quarantine. Cycles open only on `slotRequested` (causal
+head; SRA = one per slot per batch) and close on `slotRenderEnded`
+(`responseIdentifier` dedups drain). One outstanding TS cycle per slot;

+cycle and no overlap; otherwise `cycle_unattributable`, fail closed. **No
+timeout re-arm** — re-arm only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned
+destroy/redefine, or page end; unissued intents are NavigationSession
+children; physical state is RuntimeSession. Deterministic-harness CI +

+
+**G4b — Acknowledgement, per render path.** Nonces are per-attempt
+128-bit CSPRNG values; the kernel validates source ownership (§6.8),
+nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` before transitions or

+
+1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): MessageChannel into the renderer
+   document (`ports.length` checks, exact-key replies, one-shot latch,
+   port close); the document posts authenticated
+   `renderer_document_loaded` then the accepted/failed result to the top
+   window.
+2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC:** **the acceptance observation lives in the
+   trusted owner, not the creative document** — the owner observes its
+   own iframe's `load`/`error` events and emits `adm_document_loaded`;
+   the nonce never enters the bidder realm (an injected reporter would
+   hand bidder-controlled code the acceptance credential and let it
+   trigger `burl` early — revision 8's reporter is withdrawn).
+3. **Direct APS:** the kernel is the frame parent; the baseline
+   parent-postMessage branch is already kernel-observed.
+4. **Direct ADM/cache:** as (2), owner-observed `load`/`error`.
+
+**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal event.** Observations:
+`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded}`,
+`renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`,
+`adm_document_loaded`. **The terminal is one discriminated event:
+`render_terminal{outcome: accepted | failed | no_bid | cancelled,
+reason?}` — exactly one per `attempt_id`** (replacing separate
+accepted/fail events the schema could not reconcile). A parent attempt
+whose GAM cycle ends empty emits `render_terminal{failed, gam_empty}`
+**before** its fallback child starts. Post-acceptance runner failure is
+an observation only (no billing-failure event exists — no honest
+producer). No observation claims paint. The baseline resize
+(`gpt/index.ts:217`) stays a sanctioned, guarded exception.
 
 **G4d — Notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
-(`aps.rs:839`; the AAX envelope excludes them; the integration guide
-documents no generic APS beacons) — excluded entirely; the Amazon runner
-lifecycle is unchanged. For carrying paths (PBS and other OpenRTB
-providers):
-
-- Bind per flow, never selection or targeting (`ad_init.test.ts:1824`):
-  PUC — an owned, slot-and-ad-id-matched bridge claim; direct —
-  validated render start (the server must preserve and macro-expand
-  `nurl`/`burl` in `/auction` responses, `formats.rs:423` omits them;
-  the client must parse and https-validate them, `core/auction.ts:43`
-  drops them); fallback — attributed `gam_empty` immediately before
-  fallback render.
-- `nurl` at bind; `burl` at `accepted`; **no retries**; idempotency key
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)` with the
-  normalized economic identity `(id_kind, id_value)` (direct attempts
-  without `hb_adid` use `bid_id`).
-- **Observability without client cryptography:** the server mints an
-  opaque **`notif_id`** (12-char token, same generator as G2) per
-  notification-carrying bid and delivers it with the bid; every dispatch
-  emits `notification_sent{kind: nurl | burl, notif_id, result:
-queued | failed}`. The browser computes no hashes (a client-held HMAC
-  key would break the pseudonymization boundary; a rotating token would
-  break stability across a gate window).
-- **The duplicate-`burl` invariant is proven hermetically and
-  reconciled externally, not "proven" by lossy telemetry:** hermetic
-  tests pin exactly-once dispatch logic; production
-  `notification_sent` duplicates are a **detection alarm** (any
-  observed duplicate is a red gate); absence-of-duplicates is
-  established by billing reconciliation (GAM/SSP reports vs server-side
-  win counts) because sampled, best-effort telemetry cannot prove a
-  zero.
-
-**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in
-(`[auction].client_render_fallback = "renderer"`); renders only after a
-terminal `gam_empty` unambiguously attributed to a TS cycle; ownership
-does not gate it; publisher-initiated or unattributable cycles never
-trigger it; timeouts never render.
-
-**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle.** `RenderAttempt` keyed
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`; per-slot **latest-wins with
-cancellation** (concurrent calls cancel the older attempt;
-`request.ts:31` races today); generation checks before every DOM/beacon
-effect; G4b sequences 3/4; G4d direct binds; navigation disposal; one
-terminal state. **The auction client returns a discriminated result** —
-`{ok: bids[]} | {error: "auction_timeout" | "network_error" |
-"http_error" | "invalid_response"}` — replacing the baseline's
-everything-is-an-empty-array collapse (§3.14); only a successfully
-parsed response with no winner maps to `no_bid`. Public API:
+(`aps.rs:839`) — excluded entirely. For carrying paths: bind per flow
+(PUC: owned matched bridge claim; direct: validated render start —
+server must preserve + macro-expand the URLs (`formats.rs:423` omits),
+client must parse + https-validate (`core/auction.ts:43` drops);
+fallback: attributed parent `gam_empty` immediately before child
+render). `nurl` at bind; `burl` at `accepted`; idempotency key
+`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)`.
+**Dispatch mechanics (normative):** macros are expanded server-side
+only; the client fires
+`fetch(url, {method: "GET", mode: "no-cors", credentials: "omit",
+redirect: "follow", referrerPolicy: "no-referrer", keepalive: true})`;
+on synchronous failure the fallback is a detached `Image()` request; no
+retries either way. Every dispatch emits
+`notification_sent{kind, notif_id, result: queued | failed}` with the
+**server-minted `notif_id`** (12-char token delivered with the bid).
+Duplicates: hermetic exactly-once proof + production detection alarm +
+billing reconciliation (lossy telemetry cannot prove a zero).
+
+**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in; child attempt (own `attempt_id`,
+`parent_attempt_id`, `flow = fallback`); renders only after the parent's
+attributed `render_terminal{failed, gam_empty}`; publisher-initiated or
+unattributable never triggers; timeouts never render.
+
+**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle and the AuctionBatch.** A single
+`/auction` fetch may serve several slots, so cancellation is
+batch-aware: an **`AuctionBatch`** owns the fetch (its `AbortController`)
+and the child `RenderAttempt`s. Supersession cancels **children
+individually** (`render_terminal{cancelled}`); the fetch aborts only
+when every child is dead or the batch times out or its navigation
+disposes; every response bid is filtered through the **currently live**
+child identity before any effect. Tests: partial overlap, full overlap,
+timeout, navigation disposal, reversed responses. The auction client
+returns a discriminated result — `{ok: bids[]} | {error:
+"auction_timeout" | "network_error" | "http_error" | "invalid_response"}`
+(§3.14); only a parsed empty response is `no_bid`. Public API:
 `tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>`,
-`RequestAdsResult = {traceId, slots: [{slot, outcome: "rendered" |
-"no_bid" | "failed" | "cancelled", reason?}]}`, settling when every slot
-attempt is terminal. Reversed-response tests required.
-**Fallback identity:** fallback is a **child attempt** — new
-`RenderAttempt`, `flow = fallback`, carrying `parent_flow` (the
-originating flow); the terminal `gam_empty` belongs to the parent
-attempt under the parent's flow; the canonical view links parent and
-child on `(trace_id, nav_gen, slot, refresh_gen)`.
-
-**G4g — Mid-attempt configuration and the commit point.** An attempt
-snapshots configuration at creation. **Commit = the earliest
-irreversible action** — the first of: notification dispatch (`nurl` at
-bind), `bridge_response_sent`, or first DOM insertion. The
-generation/kill-switch check runs **immediately before each** of those;
-an attempt past commit runs to its terminal state; dispatched
-notifications are never recalled. (Revision 7 put commit after the
-`nurl` side effect; that ordering error is corrected.)

+configuration at creation. **Commit = the earliest irreversible action**
+(first of: notification dispatch, `bridge_response_sent`, first DOM

+**The kill switch's delivery is page-bound:** already-loaded pages have
+no push channel, so live switch state travels only on responses the
+page later fetches — page-bids and `/auction` responses carry
+`ext.trusted_server.switches`, and new HTML carries current state. The
+guarantee is therefore scoped: the switch affects attempts created
+after the page received switch state; SSAT attempts on already-loaded
+pages are unaffected by design, and the spec says so rather than
+implying a live channel that does not exist.
 
 ### G5 — Deployment contracts
 
-- Config `format_version` + manifest hash verification (§0).
-- **Assets pre-materialized at release publication:** config is a
-  release-time input, so validated module vectors are known when the
-  release is built; concatenated bytes + hashes are produced then and
-  embedded; serving is lookup-only on every adapter (Fastly is
-  per-request, §3.13, so construction-time caching would be
-  meaningless). Unknown vector = release-build error; unknown hash =
-  `410 no-store`; exact match = `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`.
-- **Internal route families — four:** renderer, client-events,
-  CSP-report, `/_ts/trace-auth`. All dispatch before auth/EC/publisher/
-  integration filters (Fastly today runs EC setup and pre-route filters
-  first, `app.rs:709`); all methods and version prefixes reserved
-  locally (405 + `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown version 404 `no-store`;
-  never the publisher fall-through of `adapter-spin app.rs:804`); no
-  body/cookie/authorization forwarding. **Origin policy is per family**,
-  not universal: client-events and trace-auth require strict normalized
-  same-origin (scheme+host+port); the CSP route admits opaque/`null`
-  origins and authenticates by server-selected path identity plus abuse
-  limits; the renderer document is a public GET validated by
-  version/path only (it is loaded from sandboxed opaque contexts —
-  browser-origin authentication is impossible there by design).
-- Ingest routes exist in all four adapters; Fastly has real sinks;
-  others accept-count-drop by contract (DR-5).
-- §5.6 schemas deploy and validate before writers enable.

-Format `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>.<sig>`; the `auth` field has its own
-ingest bound of **256 bytes** (every other string keeps the 64-char
-cap — a 43-char unpadded-base64url signature cannot fit 64 with its
-prefix fields).
-
-- `kid`: `^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; active + previous keys in the platform
-  secret store; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG; previous keys retained ≥ 24 h
-  (≫ max token lifetime + skew). Missing key with the feature enabled →
-  startup/first-use failure, never silent.
-- `exp`: canonical decimal unix seconds (no sign, no leading zeros);
-  ±60 s skew; ≤ 15 min future.
-- `mode`: `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. **`unsampled` is
-  the signed discard decision:** the client neither enqueues nor
-  transmits for it, and ingest rejects any group carrying it. `probe`
-  marks synthetic monitors (server-issued to probe runners); probe
-  traffic is never sampled out and is excluded from product metrics by
-  mode.
-- `sig`: unpadded base64url of HMAC-SHA-256 (43 chars) over the
-  domain-separated, length-prefixed input `"ts-trace-auth-v1" ||
-u32be(len(origin)) || origin || u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id ||
-u32be(len(mode)) || mode || u64be(exp)`, strings UTF-8, `origin` =
-  externally visible scheme+host+port. Constant-time comparison.
-- **Renewal preserves mode by verification, not trust:**
-  `GET /_ts/trace-auth` presents the current still-valid token in
-  `X-TSJS-Trace-Auth` (plus the trace header); the server verifies and
-  re-signs the same `trace_id` and `mode` with fresh `exp`. **The only
-  mode transition that exists is the diagnostic upgrade, a distinct
-  operation:** `POST /_ts/trace-auth/upgrade` presenting the current
-  token **and** a valid diagnostic credential; it re-signs with
-  `mode = diagnostic` and `exp = min(now + 15 min, credential expiry)`.
-  Plain renewal never changes mode. Renewal after expiry fails; the
-  client stops transmitting and counts locally.
-- **Diagnostic credential:** issued `POST
-/_ts/admin/diagnostic-credential` under the existing admin
-  authentication (CSRF: same-origin + custom header), format
-  `d1.<kid>.<exp>.<origin-hash>.<sig>`, absolute expiry ≤ 60 min,
-  origin-bound, **replayable short-lived bearer by design** (bounded by
-  expiry + origin binding; stated, not implied). **Exposure-minimized
-  transport:** the operator opens the page with `#tsdiag=<credential>`;
-  the synchronous bootstrap reads it, **immediately clears the fragment
-  via `history.replaceState`**, holds the credential **in memory only**
-  (RuntimeSession — never `sessionStorage`, which page scripts can
-  read), and exchanges it via the upgrade operation as soon as the trace
-  exists. Because initial HTML cannot see the fragment, `nav_gen 0`
-  starts `sampled | unsampled`; **when a pending `#tsdiag` fragment is
-  detected, the client buffers events locally without transmission
-  (bounded 256) until the upgrade resolves**, then flushes under
-  diagnostic mode — one-page-load diagnostic completeness holds without
-  delaying rendering. Forgery, wrong-origin, and replay-past-expiry
-  tests required. Validation is stateless HMAC — all four adapters.
-- **Lazy cached initialization** applies to every secret-backed
-  component (trace-auth keys, diagnostic keys, sampling key, sinks):
-  first-use resolution with a cached result on request-bound platforms;
-  failure with the feature enabled is that feature's loud error path.

+### 5.2 Transport, batching, and budgets (limiter-consistent)
+
+- Batches are capped by **both** 64 events **and** 12 KiB encoded
+  payload (headroom under the 16 KiB ingest cap); a flush drains the
+  queue as up to **4 sequential batches**.
+- Cadence: flush every **10 s** and on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide`.
+  Worst-case honest traffic per tab: 6 flushes/min × ≤ 4 batches = ≤ 24
+  requests/min transient, typically ≤ 6.
+- **Budgets derived from that worst case:** client-side trace budget
+  ≤ 8 batches/min sustained (excess coalesces into the next flush);
+  ingest per-address budget **60 req/min, burst 120** (≈ 5 active tabs
+  plus pagehide bursts). The limiter can no longer reject honest
+  steady-state traffic by construction; tests cover sustained
+  single-tab, multi-tab (5), diagnostic pre-upgrade buffer flush, and
+  pagehide bursts.
+- Transport: `fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials:
+"same-origin"})`; `pagehide` fallback `sendBeacon(url, new
+Blob([json], {type: "application/json"}))`. Queue bound 256; overflow
+  uses the out-of-band saturating counter + one coalesced
+  `client_queue_overflow` in the next flush (never enqueued into a full

+
+### 5.3 Signed authorizations
+
+**Trace authorization** `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>[.<dexp>].<sig>` (`auth`
+ingest bound 256 bytes; all other strings 64):

+  `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. **`dexp` is present iff
+  `mode = diagnostic`** — the immutable diagnostic ceiling, signed into

+  **Every renewal of a diagnostic token re-derives
+  `exp = min(now + 15 min, dexp)` and preserves `dexp`; past `dexp`,
+  renewal fails** — diagnostic access is bounded by the credential
+  forever, not just at upgrade (closing the indefinite-renewal hole).
+  Tests: renewal-before-expiry capped, repeated renewal to the ceiling.
+- `sig` = unpadded base64url HMAC-SHA-256 over
+  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || u32be(len(origin)) || origin ||
+u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id || u32be(len(mode)) || mode ||
+u64be(exp) [|| u64be(dexp)]`; constant-time compare; per-group
+  rejection at ingest. `unsampled` transmits nothing and is rejected if
+  carried. **Probe issuance protocol:** the probe runner authenticates
+  to `POST /_ts/admin/probe-authorization` (admin auth + CSRF) and
+  receives a batch of pre-signed probe-mode tokens tagged
+  `probe_run_id`; probe traffic is never sampled out and excluded from

+- Renewal: `GET /_ts/trace-auth` presenting the current still-valid

 - Same-origin (client-events, trace-auth): `Sec-Fetch-Site:

-  both → drop-and-count.
-- **Rate limiting — adapter abstraction with declared semantics:**

-  bucket, map ≤ 65,536 entries; Cloudflare/Spin: per-isolate/instance
-  best-effort, ≤ 4,096 entries; entry TTL 10 min with cleanup on access
-  plus periodic sweep — **capacity pressure rejects unseen identities,
-  but expired entries are always reclaimable, so saturation is bounded,
-  not permanent**; missing client address → shared `unknown` bucket at
-  1 req/min. Fastly: the platform 60 s fixed-window counter at limit 20
-  as a documented approximation; because its lookup and increment are
-  separate operations (§3.13), **overshoot under a synchronized burst
-  is bounded only by in-flight concurrency, and no numeric multiple is
-  claimed** — the synchronized-burst test (> 40 concurrent) documents
-  observed behavior, and a penalty-box follow-up is recorded if
-  observed overshoot is operationally unacceptable. Limiter
-  unavailable/errored → drop early with `204`. Trusted client address:
-  Fastly platform client IP; Axum rightmost `X-Forwarded-For` entry
-  after skipping exactly `trusted_proxy_hops` (absent config → socket
-  peer only); Cloudflare `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin platform address.
-  `/_ts/trace-auth` and `/_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>` carry their own

-  query canonical views only; raw-to-raw joins are forbidden (row
-  multiplication).
-- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget after dispatch (`tinybird.rs:153`)
-  and cannot see downstream rejection — **each datasource gets its own
-  synthetic probe and freshness/loss query, per adapter write path**:
-  client-events via `heartbeat` events (mode `probe`,
-  `expected_seq` gaps = loss, lag = freshness); CSP via probe reports
-  to a reserved `policy_id = probe`; ops via a probe counter. A green

+### 5.5 Sinks, canonical views, per-sink authenticated probes
+
+- Event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`; canonical views
+  `ts_client_events_v` (dedup) and `ts_render_attempts_v` (**keyed by
+  `attempt_id`**); the arm-union views stamp `deployment_pool` from the
+  write identity (§0). Dashboards/alerts query canonical views only.
+- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget (`tinybird.rs:153`) —
+  **per-datasource authenticated probes**: every probe row carries
+  `{probe_run_id, expected_seq, adapter, target}`; client-events via
+  `heartbeat` events under probe-mode tokens; CSP via probe reports to a
+  **secret-derived probe `policy_id`** (registered like any policy id,
+  not guessable — `policy_id = "probe"` would be publicly forgeable);
+  ops via an authenticated probe counter write. **Persistence gates are
+  scoped to sink-backed adapters** (DR-5); accept-count-drop adapters
+  get HTTP-parity gates only. Freshness = probe lag ≤ 5 min; loss =
+  `expected_seq` gaps < 0.1%; alert owner: release owner's on-call.
+- **Alert-delivery drill:** a synthetic canary page injects a known
+  failure class at a known rate; the failure-detection alert must fire
+  within one hour — dashboards and alert latency are tested, not
+  assumed (Appendix A row).

-2. **Candidate identity.** `source_candidate_id` =
-   `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)`; the upstream id is **required,
-   ≤ 64 chars, and unique per provider response — bids missing an id or
-   duplicating one are rejected** (`bid_drop{missing_bid_id |
-duplicate_bid_id}`). No fingerprint fallback: a fingerprint over a
-   partial field set can merge economically distinct demand, and
-   OpenRTB requires bid ids — rejection is honest. `candidate_id` (wire
-   echo) is CSPRNG with in-auction collision retry and is never an
-   ordering key. Mediator-native bids get identities the same way from
-   the mediator's response.
-3. **Mediator exchange.** Forwarded candidates carry
-   `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`; the mediator echoes it (contract
-   for every mediator, `adserver_mock` included). Echoed id resolves →
-   the forwarded candidate, provenance `mediator`: **price is
-   authoritative from the mediator; every render-source and
-   notification field comes from the stored candidate; deal fields are
-   out of scope entirely** (no deal identity exists in the model). A
-   mediator bid whose any render-source field differs from the stored
-   candidate is reclassified mediator-native. An unresolvable echoed id
-   → that bid is discarded and counted (`provenance_invalid`);
-   mediator-native bids **and direct candidates remain eligible** —
-   fail-closed applies to the invalid claim, not the slot.
-4. Floors filter both populations; echoed candidates remove their
-   direct twins (`dedup_hits`).
-5. **Selection order (total, intrinsic):** decoded CPM desc →
-   provenance rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc.
-   Arrival order can never matter.
-6. **Strategy** required when mediator + direct providers coexist
-   (startup error if absent): `mediator_only` (timeout → no winners
-   unless `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"`) or
-   `merge_highest_cpm` (timeout → direct-only, reported).
-7. Reporting: `selection_summary` slot rows + totals row (§5.6).
+### 6.1 Mediation
+
+Eight rules, arrival-independent, one shared helper across both
+lifecycles: (1) required `[auction].currency` (APS + non-USD = startup
+error; Prebid validates at parse, `prebid.rs:2433`); (2) candidate
+identity `source_candidate_id = (provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` with
+the upstream id **required, ≤ 64 chars, unique** — missing/duplicate/
+oversized → `bid_drop{missing_bid_id | duplicate_bid_id |
+bid_id_too_large}`, **no fingerprint fallback**; `candidate_id` (CSPRNG
+wire echo, never an ordering key); (3) mediator echoes
+`ext.trusted_server.candidate_id` — resolves → forwarded candidate,
+provenance `mediator`, **price authoritative from the mediator, every
+render-source and notification field from the stored candidate, deal
+fields out of scope**; any render-source difference → mediator-native;
+unresolvable echo → discarded + counted (`provenance_invalid`),
+mediator-native and direct candidates stay eligible; (4) floors both
+populations, echoes dedup twins; (5) **total order** decoded CPM desc →
+provenance rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc; (6)

 ### 6.2 Dimensions

 ### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
 
-- The static renderer document route registers **unconditionally in
-  every adapter** (the APS provider stays config-gated); startup
-  validation fails if an auth handler pattern covers it; §G5 isolation
-  rules apply.
-- Path `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`, embedded, served
-  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`; canary versions
-  `no-store` (or bounded below cohort lifetime); a **checked-in header
-  manifest per renderer version** freezes headers (CSP included) with
-  the bytes — a version's headers never change after publication.
-  Unknown versions → 404 `no-store`.
-- Three-message acknowledgement per G4b sequence 1.
-- Server route counters are aggregate (`ts_ops_counters`) — the nonce
-  rides the URL fragment and never reaches the server.
-- **CSP rollout, three instruments:** discovery on the **currently
-  enforced** policy with reporting attached (report-only alone cannot
-  reveal what the enforced policy already blocks); **tightening** via
-  report-only; **relaxation** via a small enforced cohort on a
-  short-lived canary version, gated on runner acceptance rate, CSP
-  violation rate, and render-failure rate, with a kill switch; once
-  frozen, a new immutable `/v2` ships. **CSP reports are advisory** —
-  for opaque-origin reports the body-supplied document URL and policy
-  version are forgeable, so policy identity is encoded in the
-  **server-selected report path** (`/_ts/csp-reports/<policy-id>`);
-  bucketed aggregation only (§5.6 buckets, global and per-cohort caps);
-  never a sole automatic rollback signal. Browser capture on Chromium,
-  Firefox, and WebKit (CI is Chromium-only today,
-  `playwright.config.ts:16`; the matrix extends for this suite).

 ### 6.7 One descriptor schema
 
-Wire truth is the tagged `BidRenderer` envelope (discriminator on the
-enum, `types.rs:188-211`). A wire-schema crate/xtask (separate from
-`trusted-server-js` — core already depends on it, `Cargo.toml:45`, so
-the reverse edge would cycle) generates: the JSON-Schema artifact, the
-TS structural parser, the ES5 inline validator fragment, the §5.1
-per-event/per-reason validity matrix, and shared fixtures — checked in,
-staleness-gated. Semantic checks stay handwritten on both sides
-(URL/origin policy, canonical base64, length bounds, the exact one-bid
-AAX projection, cross-field equality). Unknown-field tolerance applies
-only to the outer versioned descriptor; the decoded AAX envelope
-remains an exact projection. A shared positive + adversarial corpus
-(extra fields, wrong versions, oversized payloads, URL smuggling,
-non-canonical base64) runs through the Rust validator, the generated TS
-parser, and the generated inline fragment in CI.

+Order (normative — preserving the baseline stolen-capability defense,
+`gpt/index.ts:1584-1637`, **plus the read-only lookup the altered-id
+signal needs**):
 
 1. parse `e.data` (bare catch → return);
-2. identify a TS-reserved ad id — **live registry or tombstone** (G2);
-3. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` before any validation —
-   a rejected foreign frame must not be answerable by Prebid's native
-   handler either;
-4. validate source ownership via the bounded walk: known slot-root
-   `WindowProxy` map, the sender's own parent chain
-   (`event.source.parent`, …) to depth 5 — never scanning an
-   attacker-controllable frame tree;
-5. validate nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` (G4b);
-6. respond, or refuse with `bridge_id_mismatch`.
-
-Non-TS ad ids are untouched. The stolen-token browser test asserts
-**neither TS nor the native Prebid listener responds**; listener
-registration order has a real-browser assertion. Renderer branches emit
-the full §5.1 sequence with G4d notifications only on carrying paths.
+2. **read-only source→active-slot lookup for every Prebid Request** — if
+   the resolved slot expects a different ad id, emit
+   `bridge_request{matched: false}` (the B1 signal) **without responding
+   and without suppressing native Prebid** (a truncated `hb_adid` is not
+   TS-reserved, so suppression would be wrong and the old order could
+   never produce the signal);
+3. identify a TS-reserved ad id (live registry or tombstone, G2);
+4. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` before validation;
+5. validate source ownership (known slot-root `WindowProxy` map;
+   sender's parent chain to depth 5; never scanning the frame tree);

-constants (the `'Prebid Request'` literal appears at six sites today;

-validation. The minimal module (envelope + constants + validators used
-by the bridge) lands in Phase 1; full call-site migration in Phase 4.

-`tsjs.definePlugin({id, release, install})` — object form; `release` is
-the build-generated `release_id` constant; **there is no plugin-level
-`dispose` hook** — disposal is exclusively `ctx.onDispose`
-registrations, which have exactly-once reverse-order semantics
-(revision 7's optional `dispose?` had no defined ordering and is
-removed). `install(ctx): void | Promise<void>`:
-
-- `ctx.signal` (aborted on quarantine/disposal); synchronous
-  `ctx.onDispose(fn)`; effects registered as they are made;
-  reverse-order unwind on throw/reject/abort; per-disposer exception
-  isolation; a disposer registered after disposal is invoked
-  immediately; pending late registrations capacity 16, bound 10 s →
-  `bundle_partial`; release mismatch quarantines before `install`.
-- Sessions: `RuntimeSession` (page lifetime: bridge listener +
-  reservation store, history hook, pbjs subscriptions, adapters, beacon
-  queue, physical slot cycle/drain state, in-memory diagnostic
-  credential); `NavigationSession` (per navigation: trace +
-  authorization + renewal timer, render attempts, slot aliases,
-  unissued intents, targeting history); `RenderAttempt` (per G4a cycle
-  / G4f attempt). Each owns an enumerable disposal inventory;
-  navigation disposes NavigationSession children only.
-- Error policy: no empty `catch` — handle, log with context, or emit a
-  disposition. The auction fetch gains timeout + `AbortController` and
-  the G4f discriminated result.
-- **Console logging retained, not replaced:** every issue-surfacing
-  condition keeps or gains a `log.warn` carrying the same reason code
-  as its beacon event; `debug`-level delivery/security failures are
-  promoted to `warn`.

-- **Phase 0 — Identity, schemas, toolchain, decisions.** Release-time
-  asset materialization; `format_version` + config-hash verification;
-  §5.6 schemas deployed writer-off; toolchain floors; dead expando
-  deletion; §5.8 drop surfacing; the five DRs; the gate artifacts
-  themselves (pipes/scripts/workflows).
-- **Phase 1 — Kernel, sessions, minimal messaging, cycle registry,
-  transactional bootstrap ownership.**
-- **Phase 2 — Trace + beacon.** Issuance on all three paths + renewal +
-  diagnostic upgrade + probe mode; four-adapter ingest incl.
-  `/_ts/trace-auth`; per-sink probes. Gates split per DR-5: HTTP parity
-  (all adapters) vs persistence (sink-backed).
-- **Phase 3 — APS delivery.** Schema crate + corpus; §6.1 with required
-  `winner_selection` + `[auction].currency`; render token + reservation
-  store; renderer route + three-message ack + CSP report route; §6.8;
-  G4a–G4g; `notification_sent` with server-minted `notif_id`; fallback;
-  DR-3 restoration; correlator + SRA fixes.
-- **Phase 4 — Structure.** Full layering + both lint families; plugin
-  lifecycle; adapters; full slot registry; full messaging migration;
-  final namespace; four-flow behavioral parity.
-- **Phase 5 — Decomposition + cutover.** File splits; script-guard
-  consolidation; bootstrap stub + generated fallback (error/hang/
-  arbitration tests); four-flow parity rerun; **the full Phase-3
-  statistical canary/control gates and the real-GAM suite repeat on the
-  exact immutable release candidate** before router weight rises beyond
-  the low-weight canary; then weight-up, purge, 24 h monitored window.

-**Statistical method (normative for A.1 production gates):**
-populations are **sampled traces only** — diagnostic traffic is
-operator-selected and failure-enriched, so it is reported separately
-and never enters a statistical gate. Assignment unit = the sticky
-cohort token (browser session); cohorts randomized at HTML request;
-stratification by publisher and slot. Non-inferiority gates use
-**one-sided 95% confidence bounds on the relative difference**
-(canary/control − 1 ≥ −2% for fill and billing-per-1,000-attempts;
-canary/control − 1 ≤ +2% for p95 latency); improvements always pass.
-Floors are **per flow per arm** (Appendix A); flows that cannot reach
-their floor in the window (direct, fallback at low adoption) are gated
-hermetically and by the real-GAM suite instead of statistically — a
-rare flow never permanently blocks rollout, and a statistical gate that
-cannot reach its floor is **inconclusive** (extend once, then Hold).
-`cycle_unattributable` is divided by **all TS request cycles that were
-candidates for attribution** — the failures live in their own
-denominator. Missing telemetry counts as failure. Billing reconciliation
-(§G4d) runs alongside as the authoritative duplicate check.
+Single-release state machine per §0. **Statistical method:** sampled
+traces only (diagnostic reported separately); **randomization unit =
+`assignment_id`** (minted inside the affinity token, §0; persisted on
+client-event rows), so attempts cluster by session; the estimator is a
+**checked-in cluster bootstrap** (`scripts/gates/estimator.py`):
+resample assignment ids, 2,000 resamples, fixed seed recorded in the
+gate artifact, strata (publisher × slot) weighted by control-arm
+traffic share; one-sided 95% confidence bounds on **relative
+differences**; each gate is an independent go/no-go (no cross-gate
+multiplicity correction — stated). Missing telemetry counts as failure.
+Per-flow floors; rare flows (direct, fallback) gate hermetically +
+real-GAM, never statistically. `cycle_unattributable` divides by all
+attribution-candidate TS cycles. **Billing cohort dimension in external
+reports:** TS-driven GAM requests set a `ts_arm=<cohort>` key-value,
+making the arm a reportable GAM dimension for reconciliation.
+
+**Phase 0 decision records:** DR-1 mediator presence; DR-2 script
+creatives (deployment decision); DR-3 #997 vs re-merge; DR-4
+candidate-id echo owner (`merge_highest_cpm` config-blocked until
+delivered); DR-5 non-Fastly sinks (splits Phase-2 gates, scopes
+persistence gates).

+Phases: **0** identity/schemas/toolchain/DRs + gate artifacts
+(pipes/scripts/workflows) + observation-only control build definition;
+**1** kernel/sessions/minimal messaging/cycle registry/transactional

+transport does not exist until Phase 2); **2** trace + beacon + renewal

+- diagnostic upgrade + probe issuance + four-adapter ingest + per-sink

 ## 10. Alternatives considered
 
-1. Patching APS point-failures without telemetry — rejected: four
-   correct fixes have not produced reliable ads.
-2. Always direct-render APS (skip GAM/PUC) — rejected: changes GAM
-   reporting/pacing unilaterally; kept as the attributed-`gam_empty`
-   fallback.
-3. Single module graph / shared chunks now — rejected for this release:
-   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes;
-   successor option behind the same registry surface.
-4. Full rewrite in one branch without phases — rejected: the
-   browser-spec safety net is thinnest exactly where behavior changes.
-5. Dropping the ES5 bootstrap — rejected: loses the pinned no-bundle
-   guarantee; the generated fallback keeps it.
-6. Timeout-triggered fallback rendering — rejected: GPT requests cannot
-   be cancelled; timeout racing a late fill can double-render and
-   double-bill.
-7. Timeout-based quarantine re-arm — rejected (recreates the stale-event
-   bug).
-8. N/N−1 compatibility machinery — removed by the §0 policy decision.
-9. Client-computed notification hashes — rejected (no key without
-   breaking the pseudonymization boundary); server-minted `notif_id`.
-10. Fingerprint identities for id-less bids — rejected (can merge
-    distinct demand); rejection with closed reasons instead.
-11. Plain readable cohort cookie — rejected (dark-pool opt-in +
-    cache-cardinality abuse); opaque authenticated token.
-12. `billing_outcome` event — removed (no honest producer exists).
+Revision 8's twelve rejections stand (patch-without-telemetry;
+always-direct-render; shared chunks now; big-bang rewrite; dropping the
+bootstrap; timeout fallback; timeout re-arm; N/N−1 machinery;
+client-computed hashes; fingerprint identities; plain cohort cookie;
+`billing_outcome`), plus: **13.** injected in-realm ADM reporter —
+rejected (hands bidder code the acceptance credential); owner-observed
+`load`/`error` instead. **14.** cookie-routed CSP affinity — rejected
+(opaque-origin reports carry no cookie); path-identity routing. **15.**
+token-identity alone for arm attribution — rejected (authorization is
+not a row dimension); arm-specific datasources + stamped union view.
+**16.** indefinite diagnostic renewal — rejected; `dexp` ceiling.
+**17.** shared attempt identity for parent/child — rejected; distinct
+`attempt_id`.
 
 ## 11. Risks
 
-- Hard-cutover blast radius — accepted by policy; bounded by the §0
-  runbook (probes, low-weight canary, 24 h window, weight-back
-  rollback).
-- Sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure the cutover depends on —
-  Phase 0 work; its coherence test is release-gating.
-- Mediator wire-contract change (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
-  `merge_highest_cpm`; config validation enforces the block.
-- Notification triggers become a published contract for PBS-path
-  demand — changing them later is a breaking change for SSP reporting.
-- Required `[auction].currency` and `winner_selection` (mediated
-  deployments) are a deliberate startup-error class under §0.
-- Beacon abuse — pre-parse caps, per-family origin policies, fail-closed
-  numeric limits, signed modes, credentialed diagnostics.
-- Registry/limiter memory — explicit capacities, TTL reclamation,
-  reject-at-capacity; Fastly overshoot documented, not claimed.
-- CSP data is advisory — never a sole rollback signal.
-- Sink blindness — per-datasource probes with datasource-side queries.
-- ABI freeze — `tsjs._internal.registry` is load-bearing; exact-release
-  verdicts are the contract.
-- Schema generation — checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.
+Revision 8's register stands (cutover blast radius; sticky-cohort
+infrastructure; mediator wire-contract change; published notification
+triggers; required-config startup errors; beacon abuse; memory bounds;
+advisory CSP; sink blindness; ABI freeze; schema generation), plus: the
+**observation-only control build** is new scoped work whose "zero
+behavior change" property is itself gated (hermetic parity vs baseline);
+and `assignment_id` persistence is pseudonymous but new — bounded by the
+24 h token TTL and excluded from any identity join by schema review.
 
 ## 12. Success criteria
 
-1. APS creatives render in each configured flow (SSAT, client-Prebid,
-   page-bids, direct), hermetically and in the release-gating real-GAM
-   suite per Appendix A.3's enumerated topologies.
+1. APS creatives render in each configured flow, hermetically and in the
+   attested real-GAM suite.
 2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; diagnostic mode names the
-   failing class from one page load (including A1–A4 via the debug
-   envelopes, and including an initially-unsampled page via pre-upgrade
-   buffering); §5.7 SLIs hold on sink-backed deployments.
-3. Both lint families pass with zero exceptions; stateful sharing only
-   via the registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine loudly.

+   drill.
+3. Both lint families (incl. the custom scope-aware rule) pass; stateful
+   sharing only via the registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine
+   loudly.
 4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
    generated.
-5. Attempt counts key on `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)`;
-   traces stay navigation-scoped; no double counting; orphan recovery
-   has a non-vacuous test; G4a holds including caller-independent
-   retirement and same-class supersession.
-6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` with the §7.4 final
-   shape; no expandos; legacy names gone at cutover.
-7. §7.10 budgets hold on the dedicated pinned workflow.
-8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+
-   with the beacon's reason code.
-9. TypeScript floor matches resolved 5.9 with the §7.11 flags via the
-   checked-in `typecheck` script; `prebid.js` pin documented with the
-   deployed bundle.
-10. `nurl`/`burl` fire only on carrying paths at their G4d binds,
-    attempt-scoped and idempotent; APS fires neither; hermetic
-    exactly-once tests pass; production duplicates alarm via
-    `notification_sent` and reconcile to zero via billing reports.
-11. Trace-bearing responses are `private, no-store`; authorizations
-    are per-trace, signed, mode-carrying, renewal-preserving, with
-    diagnostic upgrade as the sole authenticated mode transition;
-    unsampled traces transmit nothing.
-12. The cutover runbook rehearsed (weight switch, purge, rollback);
-    config-hash verification enforced.
-13. The Phase-3 statistical and real-GAM gates pass on the exact
-    immutable Phase-5 release candidate before weight-up.
-14. The Appendix A gates table shipped with this design; every change
-    carries a reviewed decision record.
-15. The baseline APS fix behaviors are re-implemented in the target
-    architecture with the baseline browser tests passing unmodified.
+5. Exactly one `render_terminal` per `attempt_id`; parent/child fallback
+   attempts are distinct rows; attempt aggregation keys on `attempt_id`
+   with the tuple as grouping only.
+6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` (§7.4); no expandos.
+7. §7.10 budgets hold, including the CDP heap procedure.
+8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+ with
+   the beacon reason.
+9. TypeScript floor and flags via the checked-in `typecheck` script;
+   `prebid.js` pin documented.
+10. `nurl`/`burl` only on carrying paths at their binds with the
+    normative dispatch mechanics; APS fires neither; hermetic
+    exactly-once + production alarm + reconciliation.
+11. Trace-bearing responses `private, no-store`; authorizations signed,
+    mode-carrying, renewal-preserving, diagnostic bounded by `dexp`;
+    unsampled transmits nothing.
+12. Cutover rehearsed; config-hash verification enforced; post-cutover

 ## Appendix A — Normative rollout gates (initial values)
 
-Owners are roles: **RO** = release owner, **QA** = QA owner, **OPS** =
-release owner's on-call. Assignment unit = the authenticated sticky
-cohort token (§0), randomized at HTML request, stratified by publisher
-and slot. Statistical gates use **sampled traces only** (§8 method);
-diagnostic traffic is reported separately. All production queries run
-against canonical views via **checked-in versioned pipes**
-(`tinybird/pipes/gate_<name>.pipe`); probe/parity suites are checked-in
-scripts (`scripts/gates/<name>.sh`) or workflows. "Hold" = router

Subject: [PATCH 217/494] Revise design spec for the ninth review round

Revision 10 closes the release-blocking findings and restores true
self-containment. The router now injects a trusted internal cohort
header the ingest stamps server-side (assignment_id never a client
field); the observation-only control build gets a normative event-parity
contract so both arms populate the funnel and latency gates identically;
affinity token lifetime covers the full experiment window with same-arm
renewal and a publisher-host binding in the MAC, and cutover/rollback
explicitly retire the opposite release on every request family; the
canonical attempt key becomes (publisher_domain, trace_id, attempt_id)
with a per-trace collision-retry, and the slot funnel joins a dedicated
one-row-per-(auction_id, canonical_slot) summary view with shared client
and server slot normalization; the bridge acknowledgement splits into a
claim phase that mints the nonce after validating the reserved adId and
kernel-held generations and an ack phase that validates the nonce, since
the baseline PUC request cannot carry it; a materialized
request_cycle_started event gives fill and attribution a real
denominator; AuctionBatch terminates every still-live child no_bid after
processing a partial multi-slot response; attempt_started.source and
render_terminal.source become source-presence-driven; probe run
metadata is bound to the issued authorization and added to the CSP and
ops schemas; the drop enum adds unsupported_currency and
missing_request_context under one shared typed enum; an admin issuance
route family joins the internal-route contract; the Image() notification
fallback is removed; billing gets an impression-level or aggregate
estimator that the cluster bootstrap can actually run; the real-GAM
workflow independently verifies the deployed build against its manifest
and emits OIDC-backed provenance; a server-side sampled exposure row
makes whole-missing traces detectable; the heap budget is renamed to
retained-heap; the typecheck gate uses the package script; ts_arm is
reserved and A/A-gated; and the alternatives and risk registers are
inlined in full.

 # APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Architecture — Design

+  `exp` (a browser session's arm is fixed for the experiment). Expired
+  tokens are distinguished from forged ones (expired = valid sig, past
+  `exp`) and, during an active experiment, expired-but-valid tokens are
+  renewed to their original arm rather than reassigned.
+- **assignment_id reaches telemetry only by a trusted server path.** The
+  cookie is `HttpOnly`; the client never reads it and never sends
+  `assignment_id`. The router **strips any inbound assignment/cohort
+  header**, validates `ts-rel`, and injects trusted internal metadata

+2. **Always direct-render APS** (skip GAM/PUC) — rejected: unilaterally
+   changes GAM reporting/pacing; kept only as the attributed-`gam_empty`
+   fallback.
+3. **Single module graph / shared chunks now** — rejected for this release:
+   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes; successor

+4. **Full rewrite in one branch without phases** — rejected: the

+
+- **Hard-cutover blast radius** — accepted by policy; bounded by the §0
+  runbook (probes, low-weight canary, monitored window, weight-back).
+- **Sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure** the cutover depends on —
+  Phase 0 work; its coherence and affinity-lifetime tests are
+  release-gating.
+- **Mediator wire-contract change** (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
+  `merge_highest_cpm`; config validation enforces the block.
+- **Published notification triggers** become a contract for PBS-path
+  demand — changing them later breaks SSP reporting.
+- **Required `[auction].currency`/`winner_selection`** in mediated
+  deployments are a deliberate startup-error class under §0.
+- **Beacon abuse** — pre-parse caps, per-family origin policies,
+  fail-closed numeric limits, signed modes, credentialed diagnostics.
+- **Registry/limiter memory** — explicit capacities, TTL reclamation,
+  reject-at-capacity; Fastly overshoot documented, not claimed.
+- **CSP data is advisory** — never a sole automatic rollback signal.
+- **Sink blindness** — per-datasource authenticated probes.
+- **ABI freeze** — `tsjs._internal.registry` is load-bearing; exact-release
+  verdicts are the contract.
+- **Schema generation** — checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.
+- **Observation-only control build** is new scoped work whose "zero
+  behavior change" property is itself gated by hermetic parity vs baseline
+  **and an A/A pre-canary** (the `ts_arm` GAM key must move no metric).
+- **`assignment_id` persistence** is pseudonymous but new — bounded by the
+  affinity token lifetime and excluded from any identity join by schema
+  review; it reaches telemetry only via the router-injected trusted header
+  (§0), never a client field.
+- **`ts_arm` GAM targeting key** could itself perturb line-item matching —

+  items, and A/A-tested before canary (§8).

 ## Overview
 
-GPT Runtime Diagnostics is an opt-in browser console for documented Google Publisher Tag (GPT) lifecycle callbacks. It organizes observed callbacks into per-slot request cycles, displays directly observed timings and render facts, binds slots to exact DOM elements, and downloads the same information as versioned JSON.
-
-The console reports **observed facts, never inferred provenance**. **Filled** means only that GPT emitted `slotRenderEnded` with `isEmpty === false`. On its own it does not mean that Trusted Server, Prebid, Google Ad Manager, a particular bidder, or any other demand source supplied the creative.
-
-A render is attributed to Trusted Server only on direct evidence — the rendered creative asking Trusted Server for its markup — and never from targeting, price, or timing. See [Delivery Attribution](#delivery-attribution).
-
-The diagnostics integration is independent of the [GPT first-party script integration](./gpt.md). Either integration can be enabled without the other.
+GPT Runtime Diagnostics is an opt-in browser console for documented Google
+Publisher Tag (GPT) lifecycle callbacks and Trusted Server integration evidence.
+It groups observations into per-slot request cycles, shows timings and source-neutral
+GAM facts, binds slots to exact DOM elements, and downloads the same allowlisted data
+as versioned JSON.
+
+The console reports positive observations, not inferred ownership. A filled result
+means only that GPT emitted `slotRenderEnded` with `isEmpty === false`. A Trusted
+Server candidate, a PUC markup request, a successfully posted markup response, and a
+GPT slot load are separate steps in an evidence ladder.
+
+This feature requires zero publisher-code changes. Activation remains the existing
+server integration configuration plus `?ts_console=true`; it does not require new
+publisher JavaScript, React, Next.js, DOM, or GAM configuration.
+
+The diagnostics integration is independent of the
+[GPT first-party script integration](./gpt.md). Either integration can be enabled
+without the other, although Trusted Server creative-progress evidence is available
+only for slots served through the existing GPT integration.

 ## What the Console Shows
 
-The panel opens expanded after document startup and provides filters for All, Visible, Filled, Empty, Pending/Incomplete, and Unbound/Ambiguous slots.
-
-Each slot may show:
-
-- Exact GPT slot element ID and ad unit path.
-- Initial request and numbered refresh cycles.
-- Requesting, Response received, Filled, Empty, or Rendered (fill unknown) lifecycle state.
-- Loaded and Viewable augmentations when GPT emits those callbacks.
-- Incomplete sequence only when an observed event proves a missing or invalid earlier step.
-- Valid request-to-response, response-to-render, render-to-load, and render-to-viewable timings.
-- Rendered size, backfill, slot-content-change, and GPT visibility facts when exposed by GPT.
-- Current DOM binding status and viewport visibility.
-
-Elapsed time alone never changes a pending request to Incomplete. A filled render without a load callback remains Filled with **Load not observed**; missing viewability is not classified as a failure. When GPT emits load or viewability after a completed render but omits a boolean `isEmpty`, diagnostics retain those observed facts without inferring Filled; known-empty renders never accept them.
-
-### Delivery Attribution
-
-A filled slot answers the operator question the lifecycle alone cannot: did the line item Trusted Server won actually render, or did Ad Manager deliver something else?
-
-Two independent pieces of evidence answer it.
-
-**Ad Manager's own report.** `slotRenderEnded` carries the publisher's Ad Manager identifiers for the delivered ad — line item, order, advertiser, creative, and the yield group or company for backfill. These are the same values `?google_console=1` shows. The console reports them verbatim and derives one response class from them:
-
-| Response class           | Meaning                                                                           |
-| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `empty`                  | GPT reported no ad.                                                               |
-| `backfill`               | Ad Manager filled the slot from backfill demand.                                  |
-| `reservation`            | Ad Manager reported a reservation line item.                                      |
-| `unclassified_non_empty` | Filled with no identifiers — an Ad Manager default or backup, or another service. |
-
-**The creative's own request.** Only the creative of the line item carrying Trusted Server's targeting asks Trusted Server for its markup. When it does, the Trusted Server GPT integration reports that claim, and the cycle is attributed:
-
-| Delivery         | Meaning                                                                                                 |
-| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `trusted_server` | The rendered creative requested its markup from Trusted Server. Ad Manager selected it.                 |
-| `other_demand`   | Trusted Server had a candidate and Ad Manager filled the slot, but no creative asked. Other demand won. |
-| `no_candidate`   | Trusted Server had no bid targeting on this slot, so the render was never its to win.                   |
-| `pending`        | A candidate render is still inside its five-second attribution window.                                  |
-| `not_applicable` | The cycle was empty or has not rendered.                                                                |
-
-`trusted_server` is proof the Trusted Server creative ran, independent of whether it later loaded or confirmed. `other_demand` is only reported once the window has elapsed; a late claim still corrects the verdict. A claim that matches no retained render is preserved as a `trusted_server_claim_*` issue rather than attached to a guess.
-
-Attribution requires the Trusted Server GPT integration to be serving the slot. Without it, every filled cycle is `no_candidate` and the Ad Manager identifiers still name what rendered.
-
-### Callback Coverage
-
-Coverage is reported independently for each documented callback:
+The panel opens expanded after document startup and provides filters for All,
+Visible, Filled, Empty, Pending/Incomplete, and Unbound/Ambiguous slots.
+
+Each request cycle can show:
+
+- The observed request path and direct Trusted Server opportunity.
+- Requesting, Response received, Filled, Empty, or Rendered (fill unknown) GPT
+  lifecycle state.
+- The creative request and successful response timestamps as independent facts.
+- Safe, deduplicated creative-bridge failure categories.
+- Source-neutral GAM response class and identifiers reported by GPT.
+- GPT slot-onload, impression-viewable, and visibility observations.
+- Non-negative request-to-response, response-to-render, render-to-load, and
+  render-to-viewable durations.
+- Rendered size, backfill, and slot-content-change facts exposed by GPT.
+- Current DOM binding status and viewport intersection.
+
+Elapsed time alone never changes a pending GPT request to Incomplete. Incomplete
+sequence appears only when an observed callback proves a missing or invalid earlier
+step. When `slotRenderEnded` omits `isEmpty`, the result stays Rendered (fill unknown),
+and `responseClass` remains absent. `unclassified_non_empty` requires an explicit
+`isEmpty === false` observation.
+
+## Request Paths
+
+Request-path labels describe integration paths observed immediately before one GPT
+`slotRequested` callback. They do not identify a bidder winner or the owner of the
+actual network request.
+
+| Request path            | Meaning                                                                                                                   |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trusted_server_direct` | Only the one-shot opportunity marker from `adInit` was consumed by the request.                                           |
+| `prebid_refresh`        | Only the installed Prebid refresh path marked the slots passed to its GPT refresh.                                        |
+| `competing`             | Both integration paths touched the slot before the request; targeting competition or overwrite is possible, but unproven. |
+| `unattributed`          | Neither marker was observed; diagnostics do not infer a path from timing, element IDs, or targeting names.                |
+
+Both request-path markers live for five seconds and are consumed once. Their expiry
+means the observation was too old to associate, not that either path did or did not
+own a later request. Because documented GPT callbacks expose no request token,
+`competing` is a warning about possible competition, not a conclusion about which
+values were sent or selected.
+
+For the direct path, `adInit` records one opportunity:
+
+| Opportunity              | Meaning                                                                                                                    |
+| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `renderable_candidate`   | Bid targeting was applied with a non-empty ad ID and inline markup or complete PBS Cache coordinates.                      |
+| `unrenderable_candidate` | Bid targeting was applied, but the current bridge lacked the complete ID/render-source combination needed to serve markup. |
+| `no_candidate`           | `adInit` explicitly observed no direct Trusted Server bid targeting for that configured slot.                              |
+
+An absent opportunity is displayed as unknown. It must not be converted into a
+negative demand-source conclusion.
+
+## Trusted Server Evidence Ladder
+
+The console keeps these observations independent and ordered:
+
+1. `adInit` observed a direct opportunity and applied any candidate targeting.
+2. A PUC `Prebid Request` passed the exact message-source, slot, and Trusted Server
+   ad-ID ownership checks. This is selection evidence.
+3. The bridge obtained markup and `port.postMessage` returned without throwing. This
+   confirms that a markup response was sent to the requesting PUC.
+4. GPT later emitted `slotOnload` for the correlated slot.
+
+Each step proves only itself. In particular, a successful response post does not prove
+that the PUC consumed the response, and `slotOnload` is a GPT slot fact. Pixel-level
+proof would require a controlled creative acknowledgement after the inner markup runs;
+that acknowledgement is outside the zero-publisher-change design.
+
+The derived `delivery` value uses these evidence-safe meanings:
+
+| Delivery state                 | Panel wording                                                                                      |
+| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trusted_server_response_sent` | Trusted Server selected; markup response sent to PUC                                               |
+| `trusted_server_selected`      | Trusted Server selected; no markup response confirmed                                              |
+| `candidate_unconfirmed`        | Trusted Server candidate unconfirmed — another GAM result or a creative/bridge failure is possible |
+| `no_candidate`                 | adInit observed no direct Trusted Server candidate for this request                                |
+| `unknown`                      | Delivery status unknown — required GPT or direct-candidate evidence was not observed               |
+| `pending`                      | Waiting for Trusted Server creative evidence                                                       |
+| `not_applicable`               | No delivery conclusion is displayed before render or for an explicitly empty result.               |
+
+For an explicit non-empty candidate, diagnostics wait five seconds from
+`slotRenderEnded` for positive creative evidence. If no matched PUC request arrives,
+the state becomes `candidate_unconfirmed`. Possible explanations include a different
+GAM result, targeting overwrite, PUC configuration or ID mismatch, and bridge failure;
+the missing request does not select among them. A late positive observation upgrades
+the state.
+
+### Creative-bridge failures
+
+A matched creative attempt can report these safe, non-terminal categories:
+
+- `missing_render_source`
+- `cache_fetch_failed`
+- `invalid_cache_payload`
+- `response_post_failed`
+
+Failures are deduplicated and retain first-observed order. Detailed URLs, cache IDs,
+payloads, markup, and error objects remain only in existing operational logging and do
+not enter diagnostics.
+
+### Source-neutral GAM facts
+
+`slotRenderEnded` may expose line item, order, advertiser, creative, yield-group, and
+company IDs. The console displays those values as GAM-reported identifiers only; it
+does not map an ID to Trusted Server, Prebid, or any other demand source. Response
+classes are similarly limited to GPT facts:
+
+| Response class           | Meaning                                                       |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `empty`                  | GPT explicitly reported an empty result.                      |
+| `backfill`               | GPT reported a non-empty backfill result.                     |
+| `reservation`            | GPT reported a non-empty result with reservation identifiers. |
+| `unclassified_non_empty` | GPT explicitly reported non-empty without classifying IDs.    |
+
+## Attribution Issues and Callback Coverage
+
+Creative-correlation problems are exported separately from GPT callback issues. The
+eight attribution issue reasons are:
+
+- `creative_request_without_slot`
+- `creative_request_without_cycle`
+- `creative_request_ambiguous_cycle`
+- `creative_request_on_empty_cycle`
+- `creative_attempt_capacity`
+- `creative_attempt_unknown`
+- `creative_attempt_expired`
+- `creative_attempt_evicted`
+
+The panel summary reports slot, callback-issue, and attribution-issue counts
+separately. Attribution issues never increment callback coverage.
+
+Coverage remains independent for each documented GPT callback:
 
 ```text
 observed = matched + unmatched + ambiguous
 ```
 
-Unmatched callbacks have no compatible retained request cycle. Ambiguous callbacks have more than one compatible cycle, such as overlapping refreshes. The console preserves these issues instead of guessing. A uniquely correlated out-of-order callback remains matched and also records an `invalid_event_order` issue.

+keys, and diagnostics never use prefix matching to join request cycles.

-### IP-excluded client-side tag behavior
+### Staging test bypass
+
+For short-lived browser automation on an access-controlled staging site, you
+can configure a static header credential that skips only the server-side
+Protection API:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.datadome.protection_test_bypass]
+enabled = true
+header_name = "x-ts-datadome-test-bypass"
+credential = "temporary-test-credential"
+```
+
+`protection_test_bypass` requires `enable_protection = true`; it is disabled
+when omitted. Treat the credential as a temporary secret: configure it only
+while needed, protect the site with an outer access control such as Basic Auth,
+and remove the section when testing finishes. Do not enable it in production.
+
+A matching header is compared in constant time, removed before the request can
+reach DataDome or the publisher origin, and never logged. With Playwright,
+apply it to the browser context:
+
+```ts
+await context.setExtraHTTPHeaders({
+  "X-TS-DataDome-Test-Bypass": process.env.DATADOME_TEST_BYPASS!,
+});
+```
+
+### Client-side tag suppression behavior
 
 On the Fastly adapter, a request that matches an IP-based DataDome exclusion
-also omits Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side DataDome tag
-from processed HTML. This keeps the client-side layer consistent with the
-server-side Protection API skip.
+or the configured test-bypass credential also omits Trusted Server's
+automatically injected client-side DataDome tag from processed HTML. This keeps
+the client-side layer consistent with the server-side Protection API skip.
 
 This behavior applies to:
 
 - `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`;
 - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`;
-- structured `ip_cidr` rules; and
-- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules.
+- structured `ip_cidr` rules;
+- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules; and
+- a matching enabled `protection_test_bypass` credential.
 
 ASN, method, path, query-parameter, static-asset, and internal-route
 exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side tag. DataDome tags
 already present in publisher HTML are not removed or changed by this behavior,
 and `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available when requested directly.
 
-Because the processed HTML differs by client IP, tag-suppressed HTML is marked
-`private, max-age=0` and removed from shared surrogate caches. The decision is
-reported in the existing protection log, for example:

+# APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use
+> `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` (recommended) or
+> `superpowers:executing-plans` to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use
+> checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. Use
+> `superpowers:test-driven-development` for each behavior change and
+> `superpowers:verification-before-completion` before claiming a phase or the plan
+> complete.
+
+**Goal:** make APS render deterministically across SSAT, Trusted Server Prebid,
+page-bids, direct auction, and fallback paths while replacing TSJS's duplicated
+global state with one bounded, lifecycle-owned runtime.
+
+**Architecture:** one composition root constructs a core runtime from injected
+adapters and services. Integration IIFEs register as release-matched integration
+modules, prepare inertly, and activate together behind one synchronous commit
+barrier. Rust emits one bounded tagged render-source union and one exact per-slot
+auction decision set. Universal Creative 1.17.2 supplies the outer response and
+owner-registration channels; the kernel owns control and APS document channels.
+Direct and PUC paths settle through the same terminal state machine.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust (`error-stack`, `http`, `serde`), lockfile TypeScript, Vitest,
+Playwright, GPT/Prebid test adapters, Viceroy, and the existing four runtime
+adapters.
+
+---
+
+**Source of truth:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-04-aps-render-fix-and-tsjs-resilience-design.md`
+revision 27, frozen review SHA
+`6ed7fd4bafa31fe3a8112ad03ae5c600954d7568e6fef7ceabea5c9f8f94ab69`. This is the
+only implementation-plan document for the work. APS render
+and the runtime architecture are one coupled cutover: neither subsystem is useful or
+safe to release independently, so they remain in this one plan.
+
+## Scope guardrails
+
+- Do not change analytics, persistence, billing, experimentation, or deployment
+  routing. Those are separate specifications.
+- Do not add compatibility aliases, a runtime selector, or dual old/new protocols.
+  New construction is reachable only from test code until the coordinated switch.
+- Keep unrelated publisher integrations behaviorally unchanged. Their only planned
+  changes are thin integration-module registration and shared-runtime access.
+- Follow `CLAUDE.md`: use adapter-specific Cargo aliases, `error-stack`, `log`, and
+  descriptive `expect("should ...")`; never use bare `cargo test --workspace`.
+- Every task follows red → green → refactor: add the narrow failing test, run it to
+  prove the failure, implement the minimum complete contract, rerun focused tests,
+  then run the task's regression commands.
+- Do not create additional design or plan files. Implementation fixtures, schemas,
+  tests, and workflow edits listed below are implementation artifacts, not extra
+  plans.
+- Never check APS runner bytes, a runner version/digest/license/metadata record, SRI,
+  an updater, or an offline runner fallback into source, tests, evidence, or release
+  artifacts. The only positive runner route is the live fixed-target proxy at
+  `/integrations/aps/runner.js`; `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` is negative-only.
+  This plan defines no runner cache behavior.
+
+Every task ends with `git status --short`, focused verification, and one intentional
+commit before the next task. Stage only the exact paths from that task's **Files**
+list that the implementation changed; never use broad staging in a dirty worktree.
+Use the task title as the commit subject, normalized to the repository's conventional
+`test:`, `feat:`, `refactor:`, or `chore:` prefix. Task 19's coordinated production
+switch is one atomic commit; do not split it into deployable half-states.
+
+## Planned source shape
+
+The exact split may be adjusted during implementation only when it preserves these
+owners and dependency directions.

+```
+
+## Coordinated-switch rule
+
+Tasks 1–18 build contracts, pure serializers/parsers, services, integration modules,
+and test-only composition without switching a shipped page onto an incompatible
+half-state. In particular:
+
+- Task 3 creates canonical projection/response serializers and parsers exercised
+  directly in tests; production `/auction`, initial HTML, and page-bids stay on their
+  current shapes until Task 19;
+- Task 5 builds the versioned handler and exercises adapter parity through test-only
+  registries while production dispatch remains unchanged until Task 19;
+- Task 8 computes and exposes release metadata but does not emit a required-integration
+  manifest or claim production bootstrap ownership;
+- Tasks 16–18 produce tested integration-module preparation/activation and composition without changing the
+  shipped entry-point side effects.
+
+Task 19 is the single coordinated production switch: initial HTML/page-bids, core,
+GPT, Prebid, APS, fallback, and every enabled integration begin using the new
+projection, manifest, versioned renderer, and integration-module runtime together. No runtime
+flag, deployment router, or operator-visible old/new selector is introduced. Task
+22 removes the now-unreachable old surfaces before any release candidate is built.
+Every task's regression suite therefore remains green in task order.

+- Test: existing Rust, Vitest, and APS Playwright suites
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write and run the failing executable adoption-manifest test.** Extract
+      the `rcjuly-tsjs-manifest-v1` JSON block from the revision-27 spec, enumerate
+      every `includeRoot` and exact file at
+      `905984e62a0858c53d9f0ff6dd3a1bf190cf311d` with `git ls-tree`, and fail for an
+      unmapped pinned file, a `lib/src` file mapped only to `RCJ-QUAL-01`, a dead
+      mapping, or a manifest/ledger id mismatch. Pin the expected audit result at 144
+      files, 38 mapping rows, and 23 ledger/manifest ids so a moving baseline cannot
+      enter implementation silently:
+
+  ```bash
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
+  ```
+
+  Expected before the script exists: FAIL. Expected after the minimal extractor and
+  checker: PASS with zero unmapped/dead/gap arrays. Add the same command to CI and run
+  it before every phase exit.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Record baseline results before behavior changes:**
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo test-cloudflare
+  cargo test-spin
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ci
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  ```
+
+  Any pre-existing failure is recorded in the execution notes; it is not silently
+  attributed to this work.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Keep the lockfile-resolved compiler; dependency upgrading is not part of this**
+      work. Add the checked-in `typecheck` script:
+
+  ```json
+  "typecheck": "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit"
+  ```
+
+  Enable `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
+  `verbatimModuleSyntax`, `noImplicitOverride`, and
+  `useUnknownInCatchVariables`. Add the CI invocation with the lockfile-resolved
+  compiler. Add both `typecheck` and the existing architectural `lint` command to
+  CI.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Before behavior changes, make bundle measurement deterministic and record the**
+      minimal/reference/maximal gzip and Brotli bytes, Node/npm/TypeScript versions,
+      Chromium version, CI machine class, fixture, five warmups, 50 samples, p90
+      boot-to-first-display, and forced-GC CDP heap checkpoints. Commit these values to
+      `aps-tsjs-prechange.json`; later tasks may compare against it but must not
+      regenerate it from the completed implementation.
+
+  Extend `scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh` with
+  `TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs` and use `npm --prefix ... exec -- playwright` for
+  argument-safe invocation. The script remains the clean-checkout fixture builder:
+  it builds release Fastly WASM with the integration environment, generates
+  Viceroy configuration, builds/loads the framework image, installs browser
+  dependencies, and builds both TSJS fixture variants. Run the new performance
+  test itself—not only the bundle script—and write its 50-sample/heap output to the
+  exact baseline path:
+
+  ```bash
+  TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs \
+  TSJS_PERF_MODE=baseline \
+  TSJS_PERF_OUTPUT=crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json \
+    ./scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh \
+      tests/shared/tsjs-performance.spec.ts --project=chromium
+  node crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs --baseline-only
+  ```
+
+  The integration workflow runs the same focused command on its pinned CI image and
+  uploads the resulting JSON. Add required manual input `evidence_id` and include it
+  in `run-name`. `dispatch-workflow-run.mjs` validates that the ref is a pushed
+  branch/tag, dispatches with a unique evidence id, polls for exactly that run, and
+  prints its numeric run id. Record the successful id in the baseline JSON:
+
+  ```bash
+  TASK0_REF="$(git branch --show-current)"
+  TASK0_SHA="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
+  test -n "$TASK0_REF"
+  git fetch origin "$TASK0_REF"
+  test "$TASK0_SHA" = "$(git rev-parse "origin/$TASK0_REF")"
+  TASK0_EVIDENCE_ID="aps-tsjs-baseline-$TASK0_SHA"
+  TASK0_RUN_ID="$(node scripts/dispatch-workflow-run.mjs \
+    integration-tests.yml "$TASK0_REF" \
+    evidence_id="$TASK0_EVIDENCE_ID")"
+  gh run watch "$TASK0_RUN_ID" --exit-status
+  test "$TASK0_SHA" = "$(gh run view "$TASK0_RUN_ID" --json headSha --jq .headSha)"
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing corpus tests in Rust and Vitest for:**
+  - required versus optional exact keys;
+  - UTF-8 byte limits, not JavaScript character counts;
+  - exact numeric/integral dimensions at 0/1/4096/4097 and distinct
+    `invalid_dimensions` versus `dimensions_out_of_range` results;
+  - HTTPS URL, credentials, publisher-origin rejection, and URL byte limit;
+  - canonical standard base64 and decoded 256 KiB limit;
+  - UTF-8 decode failure and malformed JSON;
+  - exactly one seat/bid and exact nested keys;
+  - duplicated-field disagreement;
+  - nonfinite, negative, and wrong-type price;
+  - unknown descriptor version/type/tag type.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused tests and confirm at least one new adversarial vector fails in**
+      each implementation:
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly aps_renderer
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/integrations/aps/render.test.ts
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `generate:aps-contract` and `check:aps-contract` scripts. The generator reads**
+      the neutral schema/corpus and writes both named generated validator files. The
+      check runs the generator in staleness mode and fails on any diff. The Node test
+      executes the exact ES5 file embedded by `aps.rs` in a `vm` for every corpus
+      vector; it is not allowed to substitute the TypeScript validator.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `BidRenderSourceV1`/the equivalent Rust enum with exactly `aps`, `adm`,**
+      and `cache` members. Ensure APS has only `ApsRendererV1`; delete alternate APS
+      `adm`, `meta`, or debug reconstruction. Align upstream and descriptor bid ids to
+      1–64 UTF-8 bytes with no NUL/control. Define shared
+      `RENDER_DIMENSION_MIN = 1` and `RENDER_DIMENSION_MAX = 4096`; apply the same
+      noninteger/nonpositive versus out-of-range distinction in Rust, TS, generated
+      ES5, ADM/cache sources, programmatic sizes, and later DOM construction. No
+      validator or adapter may clamp.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Rerun the focused commands plus:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:aps-contract
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/aps-renderer-es5.test.mjs
+  ```
+
+### Phase 0 exit
+
+- The baseline is known.
+- Strict TypeScript is a checked-in CI command.
+- Rust, TypeScript, and embedded ES5 agree on every APS descriptor vector.

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for missing, duplicate, and >64-byte upstream bid ids;**
+      malformed contextual data isolated to a bid when safe; missing/invalid
+      `creativeurl`; invalid `tagtype`; non-HTTPS/self-origin URL; exact 1–4096
+      dimension membership and reason mapping; default-off and enabled script
+      creatives; invalid/nonfinite price;
+      and one invalid sibling beside one valid bid.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Replace stringly ad-hoc reasons with one typed APS/auction drop-reason enum used**
+      exhaustively by provider response parsing and publisher debug projection. Do not
+      add a persistence or external-event failure reason.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Validate per bid before constructing `ApsRendererV1`. Preserve the exact accepted**
+      AAX bid in the encoded projection and cross-check it against the descriptor.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Treat a provider currency that violates the existing auction/provider contract as**
+      `invalid_provider_response`. Do not introduce a currency-specific public failure,
+      add or change auction configuration, add currency requirements, or alter non-APS
+      behavior. A slot with zero eligible providers is exactly
+      `failed{reason:'slot_not_eligible'}`.

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing server and TS parser tests proving every requested slot receives**
+      exactly one ordered `winner | no_bid | failed` decision. Cover provider launch,
+      transport, timeout, HTTP, parse, per-bid validation, mediation failure, selected
+      winner projection failure, one provider failure beside another provider winner,
+      all-provider no-bid, partial slots, duplicate/extra/missing decisions, and the
+      exact closed failure priority from the spec, including the direct
+      `identity_generation_failed` wire result.
+
+  Add exact `BrowserAuctionProjectionV1` boundary cases: 0/256/257 results and bids;
+  auction id `^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}$`, exact 12-character base64url candidate,
+  provider `^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,63}$`, upstream id 1–64 UTF-8 bytes,
+  slot 1–256 UTF-8 bytes with no NUL/control, exact unique `r1_` reservation, finite
+  nonnegative CPM, literal `USD`; targeting 31/32/33 entries, exact
+  `[A-Za-z0-9_]{1,20}` keys at 19/20/21 characters,
+  39/40/41-scalar and 159/160/161-byte values, control/unpaired-surrogate rejection,
+  reserved `hb_adid`, duplicate joins, and accessors/prototypes. Measure canonical
+  schema-order/request-order/lexically-sorted-targeting JSON just below/at/above
+  `8 * 1024 * 1024` bytes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Normalize every provider response to exactly one internal `ProviderSlotOutcome`**
+      per dispatched slot. Produce `AuctionDecisionSetV1` once in the orchestrator.
+      Add pure serializers/parsers for `/auction`
+      `ext.trusted_server.slot_results` and `BrowserAuctionProjectionV1`, exercised by
+      direct unit tests while preserving the current internal return API. Do not yet
+      wire them into production `/auction`, initial HTML, or page-bids; their exact
+      coordinated switch occurs in Task 19. A winner must join exactly one projected
+      bid by exact slot plus candidate id; no-bid/failed joins none.
+
+  When a complete canonical projection exceeds 8 MiB, transactionally convert every
+  winner decision to `failed{reason:'winner_not_renderable'}`, emit zero projected TS
+  winner bids, retain existing no-bid/failed decisions in request order, and remove
+  the corresponding `/auction` TS `seatbid` entries. Never choose a first-fit subset
+  or emit a partial projection. Prove the reduced result is bounded and deterministic
+  under response-order permutations.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Introduce internal provenance `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` and a**
+      response-unique opaque 12-character base64url `candidate_id` from 9 CSPRNG bytes;
+      test eight response-local collision retries and terminal `internal_error`. Store
+      candidates before mediation; put the id only at
+      `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`; require the mock/configured mediator to echo
+      exactly one known id. Take only the selected price/selection metadata from
+      mediation and restore every render, identity, dimension, currency, and
+      notification field from the stored source candidate. Reject missing/unknown/
+      duplicate echoes, substitutions, and mediator-native render sources.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Preserve the repository's configured mediator selection and timeout fallback.**
+      Preserve direct highest-CPM selection, adding only the deterministic
+      `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` tie break. Add response-order permutation tests
+      and prove opaque ids/arrival order never break ties.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Define and test the exact `/auction` winner wire. Standard `bid.id` is the**
+      `r1_` renderer reservation; `bid.impid` maps exactly to the server slot; and
+      `bid.ext.trusted_server` has only `candidate_id`, `slot_id`, and
+      `render_source`. Require the four-way decision/candidate/impid/slot join. Reject
+      missing, duplicate, extra, or mismatched bids; APS/cache standard `adm`; and ADM
+      disagreement between standard `adm` and `render_source.adm`. TSJS renders only
+      the tagged source and never reconstructs it from standard fields.
+
+  The producer and parser must both deny unknown keys and enforce the same projection
+  field/count/byte grammars before any slot, reservation, targeting, or bid mutation.
+  Boot maps malformed/oversized input to `abi_mismatch`; page-bids/direct admission
+  maps it to `invalid_response` with no partial state.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Do not modify `auction_config_types.rs`, `auction/config.rs`, settings, TOML, or**
+      auction documentation unless compilation reveals an existing type reference that
+      must be renamed for the tagged render-source union. This task adds no new
+      `winner_selection`, currency, or mediator-fallback requirement.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run:**
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly orchestrator
+  cargo test-fastly formats
+  cargo test-fastly publisher
+  cargo test-axum
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/core/auction.test.ts

+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing server tests for SSAT boot bids, page-bids, and `/auction`. Each must**
+      preserve the exact `BidRenderSourceV1`, `candidateId`, and server-minted renderer
+      reservation plus the finite nonnegative selected CPM that later becomes the
+      internal `WinnerContext`. Browser projection exposes `rendererReservationId`;
+      `/auction` uses the same value as standard OpenRTB `bid.id`. CPM is never copied
+      into a render descriptor or capability.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing browser tests proving every TS-owned APS, ADM, and cache PUC source**
+      uses the `r1_` reservation byte-for-byte as GAM `hb_adid`. For Trusted Server
+      Prebid, replace the generated TS bid `adId` with that same reservation before
+      targeting; keep native Prebid `adId` untouched. Preserve PBS Cache UUID only as
+      `renderSource.cacheId` and the exact fetch query binding, never as bridge
+      authority. Add negative tests for truncation, fallback to upstream/cache ids, and
+      native-bid mutation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add Rust generation tests for `r1_` plus 22 unpadded base64url characters from**
+      16 CSPRNG bytes, response-local uniqueness, eight collision retries, and
+      `identity_generation_failed`. Make projection choose identity from a tagged
+      enum/path decision, not an `or_else` chain. Reject invalid targeting before
+      serialization; never truncate.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the immutable `CacheFetchPolicyV1` boot contract. When cache rendering is**
+      enabled, project the trusted configured HTTPS base URL at
+      `tsjs.boot.cachePolicy`, validate/freeze it before integration-module preparation, and build
+      `fetchUrl` server-side with exactly one canonical `uuid` query. Test credentials,
+      query, fragment, origin/port/path mismatches, duplicate query keys, missing policy,
+      and configuration mutation after the navigation snapshot. This is cache render
+      correctness only; do not add a cache subsystem or runner caching.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Limit this task to wire projection and pre-mutation validation. Attempt-owned**
+      compare-and-restore targeting cleanup is implemented only after `RenderAttempt`
+      exists in Tasks 13 and 16.
+
+  This task does not publish the new initial/page-bid projection or mutate a live
+  Prebid/GPT bid. Those production mutations begin atomically in Task 19 after the
+  reservation store and integration-module runtime exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run:**

+- Modify: `.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing route and exact renderer-policy tests.**
+
+  Cover enabled `GET /integrations/aps/renderer/v1` and
+  `GET /integrations/aps/runner.js`; APS-disabled local `404 no-store`; local
+  negative `404 no-store` for `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js`, unknown renderer
+  versions, and malformed family paths; `405` plus `Allow: GET`; and proof that no
+  reserved path reaches publisher auth, EC, or fallback. Assert renderer body bytes,
+  the exact ordered sandbox tokens, the exact CSP from spec §3.6, exact content type,
+  immutable cache policy, `nosniff`, and referrer policy. Assert the deliberate
+  absence of `X-Frame-Options` and CSP `frame-ancestors`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the new focused tests and prove they fail.**
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly integrations::aps
+  cargo test-axum --test routes
+  cargo test-cloudflare --test routes
+  cargo test-spin --test routes
+  ```
+
+  Expected: the live runner route/raw proxy policy and exact renderer headers are not
+  yet implemented on every adapter.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Define the bounded raw-proxy platform contract.**
+
+  Add a dedicated request/response policy in `platform/http.rs` and adapter
+  implementations that:
+  - sends only credential-free `GET` to the compile-time fixed URL
+    `https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js` with
+    `Accept-Encoding: identity`, no forwarded browser/publisher headers, no referrer,
+    and redirect following disabled;
+  - exposes `ProxyResponseEvidenceV1`: status plus every occurrence of the three
+    security-relevant headers when the runtime preserves pairs, or the exact visibly
+    combined value when it does not. Combined values are never split and every
+    comma/list form fails the singleton grammar; erased/ambiguous evidence is
+    `unavailable`, never reconstructed;
+  - returns a bounded stream or bounded buffer with a five-second monotonic deadline
+    from dispatch through the final body byte, cancellation on timeout/overflow, and
+    generation-inert late continuations; and
+  - uses the common `APS_RUNNER_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES = 8 MiB` cap.
+
+  Cloudflare must inspect the initial Workers headers before its generic adapter
+  strips encoding/length; concatenated duplicates remain visibly combined and fail.
+  Spin must bypass `spin_sdk::http::send`, call the WASI HTTP outgoing handler with
+  supported request options, and poll both response and body stream against a
+  monotonic-clock total deadline. Axum and Fastly must enforce the same deadline,
+  evidence, redirect, encoding, and cap contract instead of their generic client
+  defaults. If a runtime cannot supply the required evidence or cancellation
+  behavior, APS cannot be enabled there and the release is blocked.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Write and pass the complete actual-adapter proxy corpus.**
+
+  Drive each real transport boundary—including Cloudflare and Spin wasm and full
+  Fastly routes—against a controlled fictional upstream. Cover status other than
+  200; redirects; stall and slow-drip total deadlines; late data after cancellation;
+  absent/duplicate/malformed/mismatched/over-limit `Content-Length`;
+  absent/identity/listed/other `Content-Encoding`; missing/duplicate/parameterized/
+  rejected `Content-Type`; invalid UTF-8; exactly-at and one-byte-over 8 MiB bodies;
+  buffered and streamed overflow; byte-preserving success; stripped upstream
+  cookies/headers; and empty non-leaking `502 no-store` failures. Do not inject an
+  already-normalized core response in place of an adapter transport.
+
+  Build a hermetic `aps_runner_proxy` runtime test, not a core fake. Its private
+  control socket selects the next fictional upstream response out-of-band; browser
+  requests cannot choose a scenario or target. The request entering core always
+  carries the compile-time APS logical URL. An integration-test-only platform
+  resolver maps only that exact logical origin to the loopback fixture below target
+  validation and immediately above the real adapter transport. Fastly uses a
+  generated Viceroy backend, Cloudflare uses a workerd service binding in the
+  dedicated Wrangler manifest, Spin uses the dedicated Spin manifest, and Axum uses
+  its real bounded client. Production constructors expose no resolver/override, and
+  release-build absence tests fail if the integration feature, fixture address, or
+  service binding is enabled or embedded.
+
+  `scripts/integration-tests-aps-runner-proxy.sh` builds the actual Fastly
+  `wasm32-wasip1`, Cloudflare `wasm32-unknown-unknown`, and Spin `wasm32-wasip1`
+  artifacts with that integration-only transport seam; launches Viceroy,
+  `wrangler dev`/workerd, and `spin up`; waits for readiness; runs the identical
+  `aps_runner_proxy` corpus against each runtime with `--test-threads=1`; and always
+  terminates process groups. The test asserts the logical URL and Host remain the
+  fixed APS target, the fixture is loopback-only, and actual runtime header
+  normalization, cancellation/resource drop, streaming cap, and
+  dispatch-through-final-byte clock produce the expected response.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement the reserved dispatcher and live proxy response.**
+
+  Register the family ahead of auth/EC/fallback through one explicit test-only
+  registry constructor used by unit tests and the dedicated integration artifacts.
+  `scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh` accepts `TS_TEST_APS_V1=1` only to build that
+  non-release artifact; ordinary production dispatch stays unchanged until Task 19.
+  CI/release absence checks reject the integration feature/sentinel in a production
+  bundle, so this cannot become a hidden dual route.
+  Accept only status 200, the exact closed content-type/encoding/content-length
+  grammars from spec §3.6, a body within 8 MiB, and exact UTF-8 bytes. Relay accepted
+  bytes unchanged while replacing all headers with exactly the specified
+  JavaScript content type, wildcard CORS, cross-origin CORP, `nosniff`, and
+  no-referrer policy. Every upstream or validation failure returns a local empty
+  `502 no-store`, with no vendor body or descriptor/capability data in logs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Implement and test the static renderer contract.**
+
+  The renderer validates/clears the fragment nonce, accepts one exact source-bound
+  parent port, validates the descriptor and kernel-captured publisher origin, and
+  resolves only its own absolute `/integrations/aps/runner.js`. Before loading the
+  script, queue the exact `prebid/creative/render` event with one-shot
+  `resolve`/`reject`. Set only `crossOrigin='anonymous'` and
+  `referrerPolicy='no-referrer'`; do not set integrity/SRI. Script `load` is
+  nonterminal progress. Proxy/CORS/script-load failure reports `runner_no_load`;
+  callback rejection reports `runner_failed`; callback success reports completion.
+  The renderer starts no completion timer—the kernel owns the only ten-second timer
+  from document acceptance. Mutable APS callback correctness is an accepted external
+  trust dependency, not a fact TS can derive from script load or body inspection.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Add the hermetic fictional runner fixture.**
+
+  Author a minimal local fixture that implements only the documented event and
+  queue/resolve/reject behavior. Assert it is neither a copy, transformation, nor
+  derivative of APS bytes. Use it for deterministic success, rejection, script-load,
+  callback-silence, nested-iframe, and duplicate-callback tests. The fixture is not
+  served as a production fallback and cannot be included in release bundles.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run the full route, transport, parity, and browser checks.**

+  ```bash

+
+### Phase 1 exit
+
+- Valid APS bids survive mediation and projection without identity loss.
+- Invalid bids fail with exact local reasons.
+- Test-only adapter registries prove the same secure static renderer and live runner
+  proxy behavior through every actual transport without activating a dual production
+  route.
+- Existing non-APS auction and publisher tests remain green.
+
+## Phase 2 — build one TSJS runtime
+
+### Task 6: Enforce layering and external-global ownership

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing lint-rule tests for direct and aliased access through `window`,**
+      `globalThis`, and `self`, plus aliases of `googletag`/`pbjs`. Add allowed cases
+      inside adapters and kernel `window.tsjs`/messaging code.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Configure `import/no-restricted-paths` for the dependency direction in the**
+      source-shape diagram. Add a narrow, enumerated temporary allowlist for current
+      production files that still violate the target (`core/request.ts`, GPT/Prebid
+      integration files, and diagnostics files found by the initial lint inventory).
+      New files receive no exemption. Check the allowlist into the lint test and make
+      Task 22 fail if any entry remains.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add adapter interfaces and no-op/fake constructors before moving behavior. Add a**
+      composition root that alone imports concrete adapters/services. Kernel files
+      accept interfaces and never construct downstream objects. At this task's end
+      production remains behaviorally unchanged, while new kernel/service files cannot
+      touch GPT or Prebid globals.
+
+  The messaging interface must support synchronous capture-phase listener
+  installation. Reserve that hook as the first reversible core activation so the
+  final core can install the TS capability recognizer before integration-module
+  activation and before TS-owned GPT/Prebid injection, while leaving no listener live
+  during asynchronous preparation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Ensure `.github/workflows/format.yml` continues to run lint and**
+      `.github/workflows/test.yml` runs typecheck. Enforcement begins with the narrow
+      allowlist and becomes repository-clean in Task 22.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run:**
+
+  ```bash
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/eslint/no-adtech-globals.test.mjs
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck

+
+### Task 7: Implement disposal, terminal latch, and transactional integration modules
+
+**Files:**

+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/kernel/integration_registry.ts`
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/kernel/disposable.test.ts`
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/kernel/integration_registry.test.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing fake-timer tests for reverse-order exactly-once disposal, disposer**
+      failure isolation, registration after disposal, first-terminal-wins, duplicate
+      integration id, malformed/unknown manifest id, wrong 64-hex release, pending
+      capacity 16, prepare throw/async rejection/abort, detached continuation,
+      activation throw, duplicate `afterCommit`, shared deadline abort, and late
+      continuation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement `DisposableStack` without relying on a browser proposal unavailable at**
+      the configured target. It must be synchronous at ownership boundaries; async side
+      work can observe its signal but cannot delay terminal disposal.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the exact `BootManifestV1` contract and release-internal**
+      `_registerIntegration({id,release,prepare})` collection. All manifest entries are
+      required. Registration executes no module code. In manifest order, core awaits
+      only each returned preparation Promise; preparation may validate frozen config,
+      acquire interfaces, allocate inert private data, and register private-memory
+      disposers, but cannot touch globals/DOM, attach wrappers/listeners, inject/load,
+      start timers/network, invoke publisher code/stateful adapters, or detach work.
+      Quarantine wrong-release, unexpected, duplicate, and post-fallback bundles
+      before calling `prepare`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the synchronous activation barrier.** A prepared module
+      returns one synchronous `activate(ctx)`. Activation may install only
+      compare-restorable wrappers/listeners/observers/subscriptions, registering each
+      disposer before mutation. It may stage at most one `afterCommit` callback and
+      cannot yield, inject/load, start timers/network, drain a queue, or invoke
+      publisher callbacks. Activate in manifest order; on throw, unwind every
+      activated/prepared module in reverse order before fallback. Check the shared
+      monotonic deadline before and after every activation and immediately before
+      handoff: 9,999 ms may commit; 10,000/10,001 ms must unwind even if the timer task
+      has not run. Document/test that a permanently nonreturning same-thread function
+      is unpreemptable. A second `afterCommit` registration throws and becomes
+      `bundle_partial`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Test post-commit behavior.** After all activations, publish the full
+      API, invoke staged callbacks in manifest order, then drain preload work. An
+      `afterCommit` throw disposes only that module, records a bounded local runtime
+      failure, and cannot roll back the kernel or create fallback. Race publisher GPT
+      calls and script/creative DOM activity before, during, and after a later module
+      failure; prove preparation is inert, activation is same-task, and no wrapper,
+      guard, script, request, listener, or timer survives a fallback commit.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Expose only frozen interfaces; keep mutable maps and owner tokens in closures.**
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run:**

+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/src/lib.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for field-wise initialization, existing publisher queue/config,**
+      two core loads, invalid manifests, wrong/duplicate/unknown integrations,
+      prepare/activate/after-commit failure at every checkpoint, a missing or hung
+      integration, the shared watchdog and monotonic activation checks,
+      owner-generation mismatch, late continuation after fallback, bundle after
+      fallback, and exactly-one committed owner. At each failure checkpoint assert the
+      exact immutable `abi_mismatch | bundle_partial` reason; FIFO draining despite a
+      throwing callback; queued and later `requestAds`; already-aborted signals; late
+      integration refusal without invoking module code; and zero runtime/service/adapter/
+      listener/timer/port/iframe construction after the fallback commits.
+
+  Exercise the queue boundary as a real Array: pushes before/during/at activation and
+  commit, retained ingress references, snapshot-versus-forward exactly once, nested
+  push ordering, `this === tsjs`, throw isolation, and non-callables. The final queue
+  has `length:0`, its own immediate `push`, and is frozen; native/borrowed mutators,
+  index/length assignment, deletion, and property definition in strict/sloppy callers
+  cannot retain work or change length.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement `unclaimed → installing → kernel` and**
+      `installing → failed → fallback`. Start the only ten-second watchdog immediately
+      before core injection; it covers registration, preparation, and activation for
+      every required integration. Combine the timer with `performance.now()`/the
+      injected monotonic clock checks before/after every activation and before
+      handoff. Abort completes synchronous reverse-order unwind before fallback.
+      Deferred bundles after fallback are rejected and cannot replace that generation.
+      Exercise this through the test-only composition harness; do not yet replace the
+      production bootstrap.
+
+  Normalize `tsjs.que` to an actual ingress Array with a writable-false,
+  configurable-true property during preparation. After successful activation (or
+  after unwind for fallback), perform the spec §5.3 six-step synchronous handoff:
+  construct/freeze the final real Array, snapshot callable own data entries, clear
+  ingress and replace its `push` with a forwarder, redefine the public property
+  non-writable/non-configurable with all committed fields, run kernel `afterCommit`
+  callbacks, then drain the snapshot. No task/microtask may split the steps.
+
+  The fallback is one terminal non-rendering shell, never a reduced runtime. Before
+  draining the queue it installs the final `requestAds` validator, immediate queue,
+  permanently refusing `_registerIntegration`, exact `version:'1.0.0'`/`releaseId`,
+  validating-then-refusing `addAdUnits`, local logger, immutable safe boot value, and
+  frozen non-enumerable `_internal` fallback record. It
+  constructs no runtime, registry, adapter, bridge, timer, listener, port, or
+  iframe. Batch membership comes only from exact server slot ids in the immutable
+  boot auction projection. Retain it only when the full §3.1–3.2 shape, grammar,
+  256-slot, dimension, and 8 MiB bounds pass; otherwise substitute exactly
+  `{version:1,auction:{version:1,auctionId:'fallback',results:[]},bids:[]}` plus
+  creative/diagnostics disabled safe defaults. Known members resolve with the boot failure, unknown ids
+  resolve `slot_unresolved`, aborted known members cancel, and an omitted empty
+  projection resolves `slots:[]`. No valid call remains pending.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make `build-all.mjs` emit all bundles with one fixed sentinel, compute 64**
+      lowercase SHA-256 hex over the canonical ordered ids plus sentinel-normalized
+      bytes, replace exactly one sentinel per bundle, and verify none remains. Embed
+      that release id in every bundle. Write exact generated
+      `crates/trusted-server-js/dist/tsjs-release-v1.json` with
+      `{version:1,releaseId,bundles:[{id,file}]}` in canonical bundle order; add
+      `npm run --silent print:release-id` to validate that file and print only its
+      64-hex id. Extend `build.rs` generated metadata to include
+      the sentinel-normalized all-bundle `release_id`; expose it through `bundle.rs` and
+      the crate API beside bundle bytes/content hashes. Add Rust tests proving generated
+      metadata and every bundle carry the same id. Implement the pure
+      `BootManifestV1` serializer with exactly the enabled unique integration ids in actual
+      injection order and `required:true`, but do not emit it into production HTML yet.
+      Test changed logical bytes, reordered integrations, sentinel multiplicity, wrong
+      release, missing integration, and server/bundle disagreement.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Install one `Runtime`; the composition root keeps the mutable service**
+      registry and owner tokens in its closure, and integrations obtain frozen
+      interfaces only through exact-release preparation/activation contexts.
+      `tsjs._internal` is non-enumerable frozen status data only—never the registry.
+
+  In test-only composition, activate the capture-phase bridge recognizer as the first
+  reversible core effect, followed by correctness GPT listeners and prepared modules.
+  Production bootstrap and manifest emission remain unchanged until Task 19.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Generate the proposed queue/boot-flags fallback artifact from**
+      `bootstrap_fallback.ts` and test its bytes and terminal behavior at every
+      checkpoint. Task 19 performs the one production replacement and adds the final
+      embedded staleness assertion; there is never a hand-maintained second fallback
+      implementation.
+

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for RuntimeSession singleton ownership, navigation replacement,**
+      reverse-order disposal inventory, late old-generation callbacks, same DOM id on a
+      new navigation, timer/listener/port cleanup, and double disposal.
+
+  Add deterministic-crypto issuer tests proving one `NavigationSession` obtains an
+  eight-byte CSPRNG prefix and combines it with one big-endian unsigned 64-bit ordinal
+  stored as two u32 words. Each `a1_` encodes those 16 bytes as 22 unpadded base64url
+  characters; ordinal increments exactly once, never wraps, and needs no issued-id
+  history. Unavailable/throwing crypto or ordinal exhaustion fails
+  `identity_generation_failed` before creating work. Separately prove `t1_` and `n1_`
+  encode 16 fresh CSPRNG bytes; their eight-draw collision/capacity behavior belongs
+  to Tasks 14 and 13. Never pass raw bytes or issued identities to logging/debug
+  callbacks.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement explicit owner APIs:**
+  - `RuntimeSession`: injected adapter interfaces and owner/disposer scopes; it
+    does not import concrete adapters or services;
+  - `NavigationSession`: aliases, intents, targeting ownership, batches, attempts,
+    and one internal immutable current auction projection;
+  - `AuctionContextRegistry`: runtime-owned, manifest-bounded contributor callbacks
+    registered with owner-scoped disposers; it snapshots contributions for one batch,
+    preserves manifest registration order and later-key precedence, freezes the
+    result, and isolates/logs one contributor throw without retaining its values;
+  - child scopes for `AuctionBatch` and `RenderAttempt`.
+
+  Concrete slot maps, physical cycles, reservations, and the bridge listener are
+  services constructed in `composition/browser.ts` and disposed by the runtime
+  scopes through interfaces.
+
+  Seed only the initial session from recursively frozen
+  `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection`; never mutate boot. A new SPA session begins with no
+  projection. Its page-bids controller deep-copies/freezes one exact current-
+  generation `BrowserAuctionProjectionV1`, reserves all projected slots against the
+  shared 256 cap (including already-admitted programmatic units), and commits slots +
+  projection atomically. Stale/duplicate/malformed/over-cap responses commit nothing
+  and never retain prior-navigation data.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Every callback captures an owner generation and verifies it before mutation.**
+      Provide test-only inventory snapshots; do not expose mutable production state.
+
+  Keep the issuer injectable only through test composition. Production composition
+  always uses browser Web Crypto; no `Math.random`, counter, timestamp, publisher
+  input, or compatibility-form parser may mint a capability.
+

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for `present | pending | timed_out | incompatible`, late external readiness,**
+      per-operation timeout/removal, abort/disposal, queue capacity, command throw,
+      callback throw, exact message keys/version, zero/one/two ports, and port closure.
+      Race readiness immediately before/at/after the exact deadline.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Move global access behind injected adapter methods. `timed_out` describes one**
+      operation, not a permanent library state; `incompatible` describes only the
+      currently bound external object/stamp and later replacement may succeed. Each adapter
+      readiness queue holds at most 64 operations. Overflow fails the new operation
+      synchronously with `external_queue_full`; timed-out/aborted entries are removed
+      immediately and readiness drains live entries FIFO. Each operation expires with
+      `external_ready_timeout` exactly ten seconds from enqueue, independent of
+      `requestAds.timeoutMs` and the auction-fetch deadline. Dispatch versus expiry
+      races through one latch.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Centralize all message names, exact-shape guards, safe port extraction, and port**
+      disposal in the messaging adapter. Do not put reservation or lifecycle policy in

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for exact nonempty server slot ids at the 256-UTF-8-byte**
+      boundary with NUL/control rejection, combined 255/256/257 server plus
+      programmatic records, ad-unit codes, DOM aliases, alias
+      collision, GPT object identity, SRA, one active/one queued replacement, TS versus
+      publisher intent, `display()` under disabled initial load, same/opposite-class
+      supersession, ambiguous overlap, duplicate response identifiers, no timeout
+      re-arm, safe destroy/redefine, and navigation disposal. For disabled initial load,
+      prove TS `display()` only registers and exactly one
+      `refresh([slot],{changeCorrelator:false})` owns the intent; refresh unavailability/
+      throw fails `gpt_request_failed`, while publisher display stays publisher-owned.
+      Include old completion
+      after navigation and before/after the replacement completion on the same DOM id.
+      Race `slotRequested` immediately before/at/after three seconds and
+      `slotRenderEnded` immediately before/at/after ten seconds from request start.
+
+  Cover transactional destroy/redefine at every recovery site: throw/false destroy,
+  failed replacement definition, stale generation after define, and proof that no
+  second physical GPT slot or binding appears. Destroy failure retires/quarantines
+  the old identity and makes later TS work fail `gpt_request_failed` until publisher
+  destruction or reload.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement `SlotRecord`, navigation-local registration ordinals, and indexes.**
+      Reject missing/empty/over-limit server ids and exact server-id collisions before
+      indexing. Ad-unit and DOM alias resolution must produce exactly one record or
+      `slot_unresolved`; never normalize server identity or choose first registration.
+      Enforce one `MAX_ACTIVE_SLOT_RECORDS = 256` transaction across server projection
+      and later programmatic registration; navigation disposal releases all records.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Record intent before the adapter operation. Open a physical cycle only on**
+      `slotRequested`; close on `slotRenderEnded`; attribute only when exactly one live
+      compatible TS intent exists. Fail ambiguous TS ownership instead of guessing.
+      A request-capable GPT call with no `slotRequested` by three seconds fails
+      `gpt_request_timeout`; because no attributable cycle exists, immediately
+      invoke one adapter transaction that marks the old TS object retired, requires
+      successful `destroySlots([old])`, and only then defines/binds a replacement; or
+      place a publisher-owned object in permanent
+      page-lifetime quarantine until explicit publisher destruction/reload. Future GPT
+      events never release that request-timeout quarantine. An opened cycle with no
+      completion by ten seconds fails `gpt_completion_timeout`; only its matching real
+      completion may drain that exact cycle. Neither timeout starts fallback.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Expose narrow operations to integrations: register/adopt slot, record intent,**
+      handle GPT event, own/clear targeting, resolve exact slot, dispose navigation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: On navigation disposal, destroy/redefine only a TS-owned GPT slot object and keep**
+      the retired object in the `WeakMap` until late completion drains. Define a
+      replacement only when a current navigation needs it and the transactional
+      destroy succeeded. Quarantine an
+      open publisher-owned object until its real `slotRenderEnded`, publisher
+      destruction, or reload; new TS work fails `slot_quarantined`. No timeout or
+      navigation token re-arms a physical cycle.

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for `r1_` reservation validation, exact identity lookup, duplicate**
+      insertion, atomic claim, duplicate simultaneous claim, consumed/stale/disposed
+      tombstones, the fixed 15-minute render boundary, the ten-second Prebid admission
+      lease, atomic selection promotion to a new 15-minute render expiry, unselected/
+      aborted/selection-timeout tombstoning only through the original lease, union
+      capacity 320, suppression/refusal and contract-failure tombstoning of a PUC claim
+      against a pre-selection lease, refusal at capacity, no live eviction, and a late
+      request for the oldest unexpired id. Cover immutable finite/nonnegative
+      `WinnerContext{selectedCpm}`, exact Prebid-bid CPM equality, context preservation
+      across promotion and projection replacement, transfer into the attempt before
+      consumption, and context/source deletion from tombstones. Renderer-id generation/collision retry
+      belongs to Rust Task 4, not this browser store.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Move `apsPrebidRenderers` and consumed-id maps out of public globals into the**
+      runtime-owned service. Entries carry exact slot, tagged render source, navigation
+      generation, fixed expiry, state, attempt binding, and immutable winner context
+      while live. Source
+      `WindowProxy` is intentionally absent until the first valid PUC claim acquires
+      it. Consumption transfers the render source/context to the exact attempt before
+      replacing the entry. It never extends expiry; tombstones remain through original
+      expiry with only id/expiry/state/minimum suppression metadata.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Use one reservation type for every TS-owned APS, ADM, and cache PUC source.**
+      Validate the supplied server id but never generate it in the browser. Cache UUID
+      remains only `cacheId` transport state; upstream bid id remains provenance;
+      native Prebid ids never enter this store. Reject an id collision against any
+      live/tombstoned entry; lookup recognizes a TS id before detailed validation.

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing state-table tests for every valid transition and every invalid/replay**
+      transition. Race success, failure, timeout, caller abort, supersession, and
+      navigation disposal through one terminal latch. Add accepted-artifact promotion
+      races and prove terminal attempt disposal cannot remove a committed render. At
+      construction assert one exact navigation-unique `a1_` attempt id; fallback child
+      ids are distinct and bind their exact parent id. Test navigation-prefix failure,
+      ordinal exhaustion, disposal, and that neither ids nor issuer bytes reach logs.
+
+  Add renderer-nonce live-registry tests at 255/256/257 entries, eight collision
+  draws, crypto failure, exact source/port/attempt/generation binding, disposal reuse,
+  and no tombstone/history set. Capacity maps `capability_registry_full`; exhausted
+  draws map `identity_generation_failed`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement path-independent `RenderAttempt` ownership: state, exact slot,**
+      generation, exact `a1_` id, optional parent attempt id, tagged render source,
+      immutable `WinnerContext{selectedCpm}`, timers, ports, iframe, terminal result,
+      and disposer. Direct winner admission constructs the context from the exact
+      validated joined server winner; a PUC claim receives the same context from the
+      consumed reservation.
+      Obtain the id only from the NavigationSession issuer before registering work; an
+      issuance failure settles `identity_generation_failed` without DOM/global
+      mutation. Add `SlotOperation` above attempts so a primary and optional fallback
+      retain immutable child results while the operation exposes one final result and
+      `path`.
+      Transition methods—not callers—create and clear deadlines. Before acceptance,
+      atomically detach committed iframe/targeting/physical-slot metadata into one
+      slot/navigation-owned `CommittedRenderArtifact`; the attempt disposer removes
+      only uncommitted resources. On replacement, promote the new artifact, dispose
+      the prior artifact before publishing the new one, and rebase targeting ownership
+      without clearing the newer generation. Direct
+      iframe artifacts remove their DOM; PUC artifacts defer DOM ownership to GPT and
+      follow TS-owned destroy/redefine versus publisher-owned metadata-only rules.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement direct APS:**
+  - validate descriptor before DOM mutation;
+  - mint one exact `n1_` nonce from the 16-byte Web Crypto issuer and create the
+    inner channel immediately before insertion; bind the nonce to the exact attempt,
+    generation, renderer `contentWindow`, and retained port;
+  - put the nonce in the fragment and transfer an envelope containing the
+    kernel-captured publisher origin;
+  - bind to the exact iframe `contentWindow` and transferred port;
+  - atomically consume the nonce on the first valid document acceptance and
+    invalidate it on failure, supersession, navigation, or disposal; duplicate,
+    wrong-source, stale, or late use is inert and nonce values are never logged;
+  - start the document deadline at iframe insertion and fail
+    `renderer_document_no_load` at three seconds;
+  - make the kernel the sole owner of the ten-second APS-completion deadline,
+    starting only at document acceptance; the static renderer owns no competing
+    timer;
+  - map proxy/CORS/script-load failure to `runner_no_load`, callback rejection or
+    ten-second callback silence to `runner_failed`, treat `runner_loaded` only as
+    progress, and accept only `TS APS Render Completed`; remove on failure/cancel.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement direct ADM through one shared constructor used later by the PUC owner.**
+      Use the exact ordered sandbox, no-referrer policy, integral 1–4096 source dimensions,
+      CSS sizing, zero border/margin, hidden overflow, display, scrolling, title, and
+      aria attributes from spec §4.5. Create the iframe detached, install one-shot
+      handlers/disposal first, assign exactly one complete `srcdoc`, and append once;
+      never append empty or set `src`. Accept only the exact current pending frame's
+      intended `srcdoc` load while its generation/latch remain current. Initial
+      `about:blank`, pre-assignment, removed/replaced frame, stale generation,
+      post-disposal, duplicate load, error, and five-second timeout cannot accept and
+      map to `adm_document_no_load`.
+
+  Implement cache as a preceding bounded fetch. Require a frozen valid
+  `CacheFetchPolicyV1`; require `baseUrl`/`fetchUrl` at the 4,096-byte boundary and
+  the server-built HTTPS URL to have the exact base origin/port/path and exactly
+  one canonical `uuid` query equal to `cacheId`; use `redirect:'error'`, omit
+  credentials/referrer, require CORS and a
+  successful status, and enforce five seconds and 512 KiB. Parse only a JSON object
+  with required own bounded nonempty `adm`; optional `w`/`h` must appear together,
+  stay in 1–4096, and match; optional finite nonnegative `price` is ignored; unknown OpenRTB bid
+  keys are ignored; raw bodies, aliases, arrays/primitives, and wrappers fail.
+  Expand only the exact `${AUCTION_PRICE}` token as
+  `String(attempt.winnerContext.selectedCpm)`; leave `${AUCTION_PRICE:B64}` untouched
+  and never read response `price`, current projection, targeting, or a later winner.
+  Test delayed PUC cache after projection replacement, Prebid lease promotion, and a
+  separate direct-cache context, plus URL/query/redirect/body/shape/macro cases, all
+  three typed cache failures, and proof none becomes `no_bid`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Keep all remote side effects outside terminal correctness. APS has no synthetic**
+      notification.

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Vendor the exact supported PUC 1.17.2 artifact and checksum for hermetic tests;**
+      the GAM template pins the same version and never `latest`. Add failing tests for
+      the exact JSON string
+      `{message:"Prebid Request",adId,adServerDomain}`, object/extended shapes,
+      zero/two ports, native id, live/tombstoned TS id, duplicate simultaneous claim,
+      replay, prior navigation, SafeFrame-shaped nesting, outer post failure, and every
+      ordering of early claim, nonempty/empty GAM, navigation, supersession, claim
+      deadline, and GPT-cycle deadline. Include caller abort before/after registration,
+      insertion, and document acceptance; lost/closed control channel before start and
+      after insertion; settlement-post throw; remote cleanup at 19,999/20,000/20,001
+      ms; and proof accepted remote DOM remains while every uncommitted failure removes
+      exactly its owned iframe and settles the PUC Promise once.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Install exactly one capture-phase bridge dispatcher synchronously as the first**
+      reversible core activation, before integration-module activation and any
+      TS-owned GPT/Prebid injection; asynchronous preparation leaves no listener. It
+      multiplexes only `Prebid Request` and
+      `TS Render Owner Register`; no attempt installs another global listener. First
+      perform side-effect-free minimal extraction of own data
+      `message`/`adId`/optional `lifecycleTicket` from JSON strings or clone-safe plain
+      objects without invoking accessors. For the request branch, lookup before exact
+      parsing or port checks. Leave non-TS ids to native Prebid; for live/tombstoned TS
+      ids call `stopImmediatePropagation()` immediately, including object/extended
+      shapes and zero/two ports, then exact-parse and generically refuse/close invalid
+      requests. The first valid claim acquires
+      `MessageEvent.source` as the authoritative PUC `WindowProxy`; never precompute or
+      walk the SafeFrame ancestry.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the two-condition join. An early claim buffers only source plus outer**
+      response port and discloses no render data. A nonempty GAM result starts the
+      three-second claim timer when claim is absent. Empty/disposal/supersession closes
+      the port and tombstones. When both are present, atomically revalidate/consume,
+      mint an exact `t1_` ticket from 16 Web Crypto CSPRNG bytes through the Task 9
+      issuer, with at most eight total draws and fixed three-second TTL, and
+      reply with the exact ready outer schema. Bind it to the exact attempt id,
+      reservation id, PUC source, and navigation generation; issuance failure settles
+      `identity_generation_failed` before any ready response. Refusals use the exact
+      generic refused schema.
+      The outer response carries only owner kind/ticket plus the checked-in dynamic
+      owner, never ADM, APS descriptor, nonce, or final document port.
+
+  Store live tickets plus tombstones in one runtime-owned capacity-320 registry.
+  Prune expired entries first, never evict an unexpired entry, preserve the original
+  three-second expiry on consumption/disposal, and map capacity to
+  `capability_registry_full` and eight-draw collision exhaustion to
+  `identity_generation_failed` before exposing any usable capability.
+
+  Bound a claim-first path by the GPT request-start/completion deadlines from Task
+  11 and the attempt deadline. Test boundary races and prove only an attributable
+  completion-timeout event drains its exact physical cycle; request-timeout events
+  never release publisher quarantine. Neither can revive the claim or start
+  fallback.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: In the hidden dynamic renderer call PUC's supplied**
+      `h.sendMessage('TS Render Owner Register',{version:1,lifecycleTicket},callback)`;
+      never global `postMessage`. Assert the kernel sees the original captured PUC
+      source, exact auto-added `adId/message` keys, and one helper-created response
+      port. Test exact registered/refused responses, ticket TTL/atomic consumption,
+      wrong source, stale generation, replay, zero/two response ports, the owner's
+      three-second watchdog, helper disposer, and late response.
+
+  Receive registration through the same dispatcher. Minimally lookup the ticket
+  map first; ignore unknown tickets, but suppress live/tombstoned TS tickets before
+  exact source/adId/attempt/generation/shape/one-port checks. Refuse and close
+  recognized invalid/replayed registration, keep ticket tombstones through their
+  original TTL, and prove attempt disposal removes ticket state without removing
+  the runtime dispatcher. Atomically consume the first valid use, invalidate on
+  timeout/failure/supersession/navigation/disposal, make duplicate/stale/late uses
+  inert, and prove ticket values and issuer bytes never reach logs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: On registration the kernel creates the owner-control channel, keeps one endpoint,**
+      and transfers exactly one endpoint in `TS Render Owner Registered`. For APS it
+      then sends exact `TS APS Start` with the descriptor/envelope plus exactly one
+      renderer-document port. For ADM it sends exact `TS ADM Start` and no port. Add
+      exact-shape tests for every start, insertion, document progress, render
+      completion/failure, ADM load/failure, and final owner settlement message and for
+      every wrong/extra key or port count. `OwnerSettlementV1` cancellation includes
+      exactly `caller_aborted | superseded | navigation_disposed`; every terminal
+      RenderOutcome is therefore encodable after registration.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: For APS, make the owner create exactly one iframe using the immutable renderer**
+      sandbox constant, meet the one-second insertion deadline, and leave document and
+      completion timing to the kernel anchors from Task 13. For ADM/cache, call the
+      exact shared detached-iframe constructor from Task 13; report `TS Owner Inserted`
+      only after its one append, then report only the intended load/failure. Initial
+      blank, replacement, removal, duplicate, stale, disposed, error, and timeout races
+      cannot resolve the PUC Promise. Resolve/reject that Promise only from the kernel's
+      final settlement. The remote owner—not the kernel—owns that iframe: accepted
+      settlement promotes it, removes temporary handlers, closes the port, and
+      resolves once; failed/cancelled settlement removes it, removes handlers, closes,
+      and rejects once. Arm one fail-closed 20-second settlement/channel watchdog when
+      registration accepts the control port, before start; never rearm it on start.
+      Malformed control, `messageerror`, local disposal, silent loss, or expiry runs
+      remote cleanup but cannot report acceptance to the kernel. Direct-path iframe
+      cleanup remains kernel-owned. The kernel owns all terminal decisions; bidder ADM
+      receives no capability. Prove each channel creator/retained/transferred endpoint
+      is closed by success, refusal, timeout, cancellation, and navigation tests.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run the shared protocol corpus through both global and port parsers. Enforce the**
+      4,096-byte inbound JSON cap before parse; exact 25-character capabilities;
+      field-specific 256/2,048/4,096-byte limits; safe generations; 64 KiB dynamic
+      owner and 72 KiB successful outer-response limits; exact keys/prototypes; and
+      boundary-minus-one/boundary/boundary-plus-one multibyte, duplicate-key, malformed
+      encoding, accessor, and exact 1/4096 dimension cases.

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing input tests for omitted/undefined options, null/array/non-object,**
+      foreign/accessor/unknown properties, invalid/duplicate/too-many slots, timeout
+      bounds, AbortSignal brand, exact server-slot-id selection, an unknown id beside a
+      valid sibling, ad-unit/DOM alias collisions, and input-order output. Prove an
+      omitted-slot call synchronously snapshots current NavigationSession registrations
+      by ordinal and excludes a later registration. Prove an omitted timeout uses
+      exactly 10,000 ms for only the shared auction fetch; readiness and renderer/GPT
+      deadlines neither inherit nor reset it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing public-surface and registration tests.** Assert the exact
+      kernel/fallback `TsjsApi` own properties, `version:'1.0.0'`, release equality,
+      recursively frozen `TsjsBootV1`, non-enumerable frozen status-only `_internal`,
+      permanently refusing `_registerIntegration`, diagnostics present only on kernel,
+      and no compatibility/placeholder/mutable-config aliases. Keep numeric `V1` only
+      on actually serialized boot/wire schemas; public helpers are `TsjsApi`,
+      `TsjsCommandQueue`, `TsjsLog`, and `TsjsDiagnostics`. Update the package barrel
+      to export only the final public names and remove old `AdUnit`/API aliases.
+
+  Cover `addAdUnits` one/array, empty/257 units, unknown/accessor/prototype fields,
+  duplicate/colliding codes, malformed media/bids/params, encoded 256 KiB auction
+  body cap, 63/64/65-byte bidder names, integral dimensions at 0/1/4096/4097 with
+  exact `invalid_dimensions | dimensions_out_of_range`, and combined registry totals
+  255/256/257. Registration is synchronous, all-or-nothing, navigation-scoped, and
+  assigns ordinals after server slots. Fallback fully validates then throws exact
+  `TsjsUnavailableError` without constructing a registry.
+
+  Assert logger default level/methods, all valid levels, invalid-level throw without
+  mutation, bounded output, and missing/throwing console methods. Reuse Task 8's
+  frozen real-Array queue tests as the final public queue contract.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `addAdUnits` before live mutation.** Validate the complete
+      input in deterministic field order, reserve capacity for the whole call, then
+      transactionally register exact programmatic `code` values into the same
+      navigation slot service. A code is a public registered slot id but never a GPT
+      path/DOM alias; successful units participate only in later direct-auction
+      snapshots and do not define/display/target GPT.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Replace the void/callback API with the exact Promise contract. Interpret every**
+      explicit entry only as an exact case-sensitive registered slot id—server or
+      programmatic—never a GPT ad-unit path, DOM id, or alias. Preserve explicit input order or omitted snapshot order in
+      the results and always return the exact server id. Input errors reject before
+      creating attempts. Unknown explicit ids resolve `slot_unresolved` without
+      blocking valid siblings. After attempt creation, operational/render failures
+      resolve as typed per-slot results.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Implement one `AuctionBatch` per fetch. Test partial overlap across concurrent**
+      calls, one child superseded, all children superseded, already-aborted caller,
+      later abort, response deadline, reversed response order, invalid response,
+      missing/duplicate/extra slot decisions, winner-to-bid join mismatch, server
+      failed decisions, and navigation disposal. Parse the exact standard `bid.id` /
+      `impid` plus exact three-key `bid.ext.trusted_server` contract and require the
+      decision/candidate/impid/slot join. Reject standard `adm` on APS/cache and any ADM
+      mismatch; never infer a render source from standard bid fields.
+
+  Snapshot the runtime-owned auction-context contributors exactly once before request
+  serialization. Contributors are invoked in manifest registration order; later keys
+  retain the baseline precedence, one throw is locally logged/isolated, and module or
+  runtime disposal removes the contributor before the next batch. Navigation changes
+  do not duplicate or discard a document-scoped contributor. No integration imports
+  or mutates a module-global provider map.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Preserve error distinctions:**
+      `auction_timeout | network_error | http_error | invalid_response`. After parsing,
+      consume the server's exact per-slot decisions; only an explicit `no_bid` decision
+      is no-bid. Never infer no-bid from an absent/malformed sibling.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Exercise the exact `TsjsApi` through test-only composition. Keep the shipped public**
+      entry point unchanged until Task 19; Task 22 deletes the old callback/void overload
+      and declarations rather than keeping an alias.
+

+      publisher GPT activity. Include external-readiness, request-start, and completion
+      deadline boundaries and accepted-artifact replacement/navigation ownership.
+      Add the exact handoff corpus: exact and hydration-renamed late `defineSlot`,
+      mismatch/ambiguity, publisher duplicate `display`, explicit/global refresh with
+      disabled initial load, unrelated slot/options preservation, ownership transfer
+      racing navigation, and proof that publisher work never starts TS fallback.
+
+  Add deterministic fake-timer DOM-reconciliation tests at 249/250 ms and
+  4,999/5,000 ms for first/final pass success, ambiguity, expiry-versus-commit latch,
+  ownership transfer during a pass, one and two successful rebinds, immediate
+  `reconciliation_capacity` on a third disconnect, and navigation disposal. Exercise
+  request-timeout, completion-timeout, navigation, and reconciliation through the
+  same destroy/redefine transaction. A throwing/false `destroySlots([old])` retires
+  and quarantines the old identity, defines no second physical slot, and returns
+  `gpt_request_failed`; a failed replacement leaves the slot unbound. A stale
+  generation destroys any just-created TS replacement and cannot bind it. Prove no
+  path destroys a publisher-owned slot.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Extract a GPT integration module used by test-only composition.** Its
+      `prepare(ctx)` reads only validated frozen boot data and creates closures; it
+      performs no GPT/global/DOM/script/timer/listener mutation. Its synchronous
+      `activate(ctx)` installs every reversible adapter interception and registers
+      disposers before mutation. Script injection or other irreversible startup is
+      staged in the module's single `afterCommit` callback. Move every GPT-global
+      call into `GoogletagAdapter` and all slot/cycle state into `slots.ts`, while
+      retaining the shipped entry-point behavior until Task 19.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Route APS and ADM winners to `RenderAttempt`/PUC bridge. Remove duplicate renderer**
+      branches, slot expandos, local consumed-id maps, and independent refresh wrappers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the owner-and-value targeting journal in `services/targeting.ts`.**
+      Keep one closure-private stack per physical GPT slot/key. Each TS write pushes a
+      distinct frame containing its owner id, exact installed string, and predecessor
+      value/owner—even when the string is unchanged. The GPT adapter observes the live
+      slot's `setTargeting`, per-key `clearTargeting`, and clear-all calls. A private
+      reentrancy marker distinguishes TS calls; every publisher-originated mutation
+      invalidates the affected restoration chain before forwarding, including a
+      same-value write, without changing arguments, return value, throw behavior, or
+      ordering.
+
+  Before a TS write, compare the actual GPT value to the current frame and discard a
+  stale chain rather than overwriting publisher state. Cleanup writes only when the
+  disposing frame is the current owner and the actual value still equals its
+  installed string. Removing a non-top frame performs no GPT call and rebases the
+  successor to the removed predecessor. Acceptance promotes frames into the
+  `CommittedRenderArtifact`; disposal of an older accepted artifact uses the same
+  non-top rebase. Test two equal-string generations under newer success, failure,
+  supersession, and older-artifact disposal, plus publisher different-value and
+  same-value set, per-key clear, clear-all, wrapper replacement, and throws at every
+  cleanup point. Never blind-clear.
+
+  Implement the ordered publication transaction: validate source/slot/reservation,
+  register the live reservation, expose exact `hb_adid` and other targeting, record
+  GPT intent, then invoke the request. Any intervening failure tombstones the
+  reservation, compare-restores targeting, and settles. Prove a fast creative
+  request always finds the store entry.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Fold integration-specific script-guard mechanics onto the shared factory while**
+      keeping GPT configuration in its integration. Implement one runtime-owned
+      `MutationObserver` per `NavigationSession`, 250 ms debounce, 5,000 ms monotonic
+      window, one final boundary pass, the two-success cap, exact physical-object
+      quarantine, and complete timer/candidate/reference disposal. Successful handoff
+      cancels reconciliation and transfers cleanup ownership synchronously.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the entire GPT suite, not only new files:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/integrations/gpt

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for the server `r1_` reservation replacing a Trusted Server**
+      Prebid bid's generated `adId` before targeting, exact equality with `hb_adid`,
+      exact ad-unit ownership, invalid descriptor, duplicate response, registration
+      capacity, navigation disposal, native non-TS bid/id preservation, and lifecycle
+      success/failure. Pin the exact content-addressed external artifact built from
+      lockfile-resolved Prebid.js 10.26.0 and its admission behavior: `not_admitted`
+      produces no bid/event/targeting state; throw and partial publication fail closed
+      at runtime; and all three map to the exact admission/contract failure reasons.
+      Cover selected versus losing TS bids, native winners, multiple ad units, exact
+      auction-id ownership, navigation/auction abort, missing/late `auctionEnd`, event
+      listener ordering before publisher callbacks, ten-second admission lease, and
+      capacity release. Prove a PUC request before selection is suppressed/refused,
+      tombstones the suppress-only lease, and maps to `prebid_contract_violation`. A
+      dependency-version change requires deliberate fixture review.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Extract a release-matched Prebid integration module used by test-only**
+      composition. `prepare(ctx)` is inert; `activate(ctx)` synchronously installs
+      only reversible adapter state and contributes at most one `afterCommit`
+      callback. Use the Prebid adapter for every global call and the RuntimeSession
+      reservation service for APS, ADM, and cache PUC entries. The adapter binds one
+      exact `pbjs` object plus its own recursively frozen artifact-stamp identity and
+      rechecks both on every operation. Missing or invalid bindings report
+      `incompatible` only for that readiness operation; later whole-object replacement
+      can satisfy later work. Keep shipped entry-point behavior unchanged until Task 19.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Remove `tsjs.apsPrebidRenderers`, Prebid function sentinels, and direct imports of**
+      GPT integration internals. Preserve eids and unrelated Prebid behavior through
+      existing tests.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Keep `aps/render.ts` responsible for descriptor/client renderer mechanics only;**
+      registry and lifecycle state live in services.
+
+  Prepare and validate the complete bid, register the reservation, replace the TS
+  `adId`, then call the version-pinned adapter's single
+  `admitTrustedBid(preparedBid): admitted | not_admitted` boundary as the only
+  irreversible action. Atomic `not_admitted` and throw tombstone and settle
+  `prebid_admission_failed`; detected partial publication tombstones/suppresses,
+  settles `prebid_contract_violation`, and blocks the artifact gate. Never alter
+  native Prebid `adId` values.
+
+  `admitted` enters `awaiting_prebid_selection` on a ten-second lease, not a render
+  attempt. The adapter's early synchronous `auctionEnd` listener queries exact
+  auction/ad-unit winners before publisher targeting callbacks, promotes only the
+  selected TS id and its immutable `WinnerContext` into a new 15-minute render
+  reservation/attempt, and tombstones all losing TS ids only through their original
+  short lease. Missing auction end records
+  `prebid_selection_timeout`; navigation/auction abort clears the admitted set. No
+  losing bid remains live for 15 minutes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Make the external artifact independently correct and pure.** Build exactly
+      lockfile-resolved Prebid.js 10.26.0 with no TS auction, admission, render,
+      targeting, or refresh behavior. The first wrapper statement arms an independent
+      5,000 ms queue-drain watchdog before stamp inspection or module factories. It
+      calls the then-current real object's idempotent `processQueue()` at most once per
+      wrapper so every publisher callback runs exactly once even when the TS module is
+      absent or incompatible.
+
+  Expose only one own, non-enumerable, non-writable, non-configurable
+  `__trustedServerArtifactV1` data property containing the exact recursively frozen
+  `ExternalPrebidArtifactV1`. Same-release/content duplicates reuse the object without
+  re-executing factories; a different valid release refuses the new wrapper without
+  disturbing the working object. Absent, accessor, inherited, malformed, and hostile
+  non-configurable descriptors never throw or stop publisher Prebid; they only make
+  TS readiness incompatible and emit at most one bounded warning. Verify all manifest
+  sort/uniqueness/UTF-8/count/alias/config/EID bounds and exact version 10.26.0.
+
+  Emit exactly one 64-zero release sentinel, hash the sentinel-normalized JavaScript,
+  replace it with the lowercase SHA-256 artifact release id, and separately compute
+  the final-byte SHA-256/SRI. Assert no sentinel remains and do not require the
+  artifact release id to equal the TSJS release id. Black-box tests bind and recheck
+  the exact `pbjs` plus stamp identities, cover late valid replacement, and prove the
+  external artifact contains no TS behavior or `window.__tsjs_*` handshake.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run:**

+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/integrations/prebid test/integrations/aps
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build:prebid-external

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a maximal-bundle failing smoke test that loads core followed by every**
+      server-declared integration in manifest order and asserts one runtime, no unknown
+      integration id, no duplicate activation, exact reverse-order disposal, and no
+      leaked timer/listener/wrapper/observer after disposal. Run every module alone
+      and in the maximal manifest with missing globals, readiness/timeouts, malformed
+      config/consent/storage, matcher false positives, callback throws, startup
+      failure, and cross-integration isolation.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Convert every remaining capability into a thin integration module.** Each
+      `_registerIntegration({id,release,prepare})` call is pure registration;
+      `prepare(ctx)` is inert and Promise-returning; the returned `activate(ctx)` is
+      synchronous, registers a disposer before each reversible mutation, and uses at
+      most one staged `afterCommit` callback for irreversible work. Exercise all
+      modules through the same manifest-ordered test composition. Preserve existing
+      feature behavior and integration-owned matchers/configuration; shared helpers
+      must not broaden matching, reorder startup, stack interception, or retain work
+      after disposal. Do not change shipped entry-point side effects until Task 19.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Rebuild creative startup around the exact frozen `CreativeBootV1`.** Validate
+      the complete plain-object shape, defaults, disabled/manifest mismatch, unknown
+      keys, accessors, prototypes, and literals before preparation. Activation installs
+      the click guard when `clickGuard` is true and dynamic image/iframe guards when
+      `renderGuard` is true, with no baseline DOM rewrite. A still-loading document
+      receives one owned `DOMContentLoaded` rescan; an already-ready document stages
+      that scan in the module's single `afterCommit`. Disabled creative and
+      enabled-with-both-guards-false perform zero wrappers, observers, listeners,
+      scans, or DOM mutation. Disposal compare-restores only the exact installed
+      wrapper and clears owned DOM state once.
+
+  Preserve sanitization as opt-in/default-off and rewriting as its independent
+  existing policy across direct, SSAT, cache, and auction paths. Cover dynamic-node
+  guards, sandbox attributes, font/CORS/body/base behavior, opaque-origin click
+  recovery through `/first-party/proxy-rebuild`, validated absolute HTTP(S), and
+  rejection of credentials, malformed values, and non-network schemes. Delete the
+  mutable/install creative globals only in Task 22.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Move render tracing to the kernel diagnostics bus and exact public surface.**
+      `tsjs.diagnostics.renderTrace` exposes only frozen `current()`, `history()`, and
+      `subscribe()`. Keep current state keyed by exact slot and capped by the 256-slot
+      navigation registry; prune on disposal. Keep document-runtime history at 200,
+      one row per physical impression, monotonic `count`/global `seq`, immutable `at`,
+      and non-weakening enrichment. Remove stale DOM stamp fields/badges on update and
+      preserve bounded overlay/export failure isolation.
+
+  Commit correctness state before public delivery. Capture subscriber ids and enqueue
+  frozen full records asynchronously in a 200-entry FIFO keyed by `seq`; same-sequence
+  enrichment replaces the pending record and captured ids without reordering. One
+  owned zero-delay task drains FIFO. Enforce callable-before-capacity validation,
+  32-live-subscriber cap, idempotent unsubscribe, unsubscribe-before-delivery,
+  registration-during-dispatch, callback throw isolation, and 199/200/201 overflow.
+  Emit no `CustomEvent`, mutable trace global, or compatibility alias.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Preserve GPT diagnostics through the adapter event stream.** Validate exact
+      `DiagnosticsBootV1` plus manifest activation before any listener/buffer exists.
+      When active, core owns the six documented GPT observations before TS requests,
+      buffers 512 raw facts until module activation, then replays and releases the
+      buffer. When inactive, require zero diagnostics-added listeners, DOM, timers,
+      observers, API, storage, or network work beyond the two correctness listeners.
+      Preserve exact physical-slot binding/replacement, per-slot monotonic request
+      numbers, callback truth/timing, frozen exports, Shadow DOM overlay, badges, SPA,
+      privacy, and non-interference.
+
+  Bound the store to 64 slot objects, ten cycles per slot, and 128 callback issues.
+  Expose only `tsjs.diagnostics.gpt`, with `snapshot()` plus the shared 32-subscriber
+  limit. Public delivery uses a separate one-entry latest-snapshot notifier on one
+  owned zero-delay task; 0/1/2-update coalescing, captured ids, unsubscribe/disposal,
+  slow/throwing listeners, and callback-stack isolation are executable tests. No
+  storage, upload, old flag, runtime expando, or `tsjs.gptDiagnostics` alias remains
+  after Task 22.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Preserve each remaining `rc/july` integration corpus exactly.** Cover DataDome
+      script/preload path rewriting; Didomi absolute SDK path without config clobber;
+      GTM script/preload and GA beacon/fetch rewriting; Lockr bounded readiness and API
+      host; Osano USP/GPP/TCF marker ownership and lifecycle; Permutive bounded
+      readiness/API host and at-most-100 normalized segments; Sourcepoint optional SDK
+      plus GPP storage/marker lifecycle; and Testlight preexisting/later callbacks,
+      invalid entries, and throw isolation. Run unchanged pre-cutover fixtures beside
+      module-composed fixtures. Permutive and any other auction-context contributor
+      register only through the injected runtime service during activation and remove
+      that contribution through the pre-registered disposer; no import-time global
+      provider survives failed activation or module/runtime disposal, and SPA
+      navigation does not register a duplicate.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Generate and test the prospective manifest member list/order from the exact**
+      enabled bundle list. Embed the same release id in core and every integration
+      IIFE. Add failures for integration before core, unknown/missing/duplicate member,
+      malformed/unsorted/oversized manifest, wrong release, preparation or activation
+      failure, duplicate `afterCommit`, and the 16-member/10-second transaction limits.
+      Production manifest emission starts only in Task 19.

+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests proving fallback begins only after an attributable TS-owned**
+      empty GAM cycle; the primary child settles before fallback starts; publisher,
+      ambiguous, quarantined, timeout, and stale cases do not fall back; both child
+      histories remain immutable; and `SlotOperation` publishes exactly one final
+      result with `path:'fallback'` when the child runs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Snapshot render-relevant configuration at attempt creation. Re-check generation**
+      and existing kill-switch state immediately before the earliest irreversible
+      action (bridge response, DOM insertion, or an existing non-APS notification).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Preserve existing non-APS `nurl`/`burl` behavior but route it through the attempt**
+      terminal transition so it initiates once and never blocks. Add an assertion that
+      APS never synthesizes either URL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Test already-loaded-page limits honestly: configuration changes reach a page only**
+      through an existing response path; do not add polling, push, or event ingestion.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Atomically activate the new production surface in one task and one commit:**
+  - `/auction` emits/parses only the exact decision-set/tagged-source wire, and
+    initial HTML/page-bids emit only `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection`;
+  - the immutable initial projection seeds the first `NavigationSession`; every SPA
+    page-bids response validates and commits only to the replacement session's
+    internal projection and never mutates recursively frozen `tsjs.boot`;
+  - projection parsing enforces the exact 256-array/member, identifier, targeting,
+    currency/CPM, reservation, dimension, and canonical 8 MiB bounds before mutation;
+    an over-cap projection converts every otherwise winning decision to
+    `winner_not_renderable`, emits no projected bid, and omits the corresponding
+    `/auction` TS seatbid;
+  - the server emits exact frozen `TsjsBootV1`, `CreativeBootV1`,
+    `DiagnosticsBootV1`, and `BootManifestV1` before core from generated release
+    metadata, after validating every integration config and manifest relationship;
+  - core inertly prepares every required integration in manifest order while no
+    bridge/listener/global mutation is live. Only after all Promises resolve does the
+    same-task synchronous activation barrier install the capture bridge as its first
+    reversible core effect, install correctness GPT listeners, and activate modules
+    in order with monotonic pre/post-call and pre-handoff checks. Failure rolls back
+    every reversible effect; success commits the complete `TsjsApi`, runs staged
+    `afterCommit` callbacks in manifest order, and drains the preload queue;
+  - the preload queue handoff uses the exact real-Array algorithm: capture ingress,
+    install the fixed installing descriptor, snapshot, forward retained ingress
+    pushes, install the frozen final actual Array with own immediate `push` and
+    `length:0`, publish the complete API, run `afterCommit`, then drain snapshot plus
+    forwarded work exactly once. Native/borrowed mutators and retained references
+    cannot retain entries or create a second runtime;
+  - the kernel surface is exactly `TsjsApi` with semantic `version`, exact
+    `releaseId`, immutable `boot`, real `que`, `addAdUnits`, Promise `requestAds`,
+    local `log`, diagnostics, `_registerIntegration`, and frozen status-only
+    `_internal`. Fallback exposes its exact smaller own surface, validates then refuses
+    `addAdUnits`, settles known slots with the committed fallback reason, drains the
+    queue once, and creates no runtime/adapters/listeners/timers/DOM work;
+  - `addAdUnits` transactionally validates and registers programmatic direct-auction
+    slots against the same combined 256-slot cap, exact identifier/bidder/dimension
+    grammar, and collision indexes. Omitted-slot `requestAds` snapshots server and
+    programmatic registrations in ordinal order; later registrations cannot enter an
+    in-flight snapshot;
+  - GPT, Prebid, APS, creative, diagnostics, all remaining integrations, Promise
+    `requestAds`, versioned APS renderer client, and generated bootstrap/fallback
+    switch together on the shared sessions/services and terminal latches;
+  - the external publisher artifact switches as independently useful pure Prebid.js
+    10.26.0 with its own watchdog and frozen artifact stamp; TS admission, render,
+    refresh, targeting, and release matching remain only in the separate Prebid
+    integration module;
+  - all adapters atomically register only the versioned static renderer and
+    unversioned live `/integrations/aps/runner.js` proxy; the abandoned
+    `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` and unversioned renderer are local negative
+    routes;
+  - every Rust/JS integration config emitter moves its existing values from
+    scattered `window.__tsjs_*` globals into its exact `tsjs.boot.*` member before
+    the corresponding integration prepares; no integration loses configuration;
+  - accepted artifacts, `WinnerContext`, targeting journals, renderer reservations,
+    GPT physical-object reconciliation, and navigation ownership use the shared
+    services; and
+  - render trace and GPT diagnostics commit only after correctness transitions and
+    expose their exact bounded asynchronous frozen APIs. Creative guards auto-install
+    from frozen boot configuration and both-false guards have zero DOM side effects.
+
+  Run old-surface and new-surface fixture tests immediately before the switch, then
+  require the entire suite green after it. Do not add a production selector, dual
+  manifest, or shape autodetection. The temporarily unused server routes and old
+  declarations are deleted in Task 22 before release.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/services test/core test/integrations/gpt
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/integrations/prebid test/integrations/aps test/kernel
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  cargo test-fastly
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo test-cloudflare
+  cargo test-spin
+  cargo test --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml --test parity
+  ```
+
+### Phase 4 exit
+
+- GPT, Prebid, APS, and all integration entry points use one kernel/integration-module
+  surface.
+- The old registries, sentinels, expandos, refresh wrappers, and bridge branches are
+  gone.
+- All Vitest and production-bundle tests pass.
+
+## Phase 5 — browser conformance, deletion, and release readiness
+
+### Task 20: Build the hermetic browser race matrix
+
+**Files:**

+- Modify: `scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Extend Playwright projects to Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit for the focused APS**
+      conformance files. Keep the broader existing suite's browser matrix unchanged
+      unless runtime permits expansion.
+
+  Extend the clean-checkout browser script's `TS_BROWSER_PROJECTS` input so it
+  installs the selected engines and forwards Playwright arguments with
+  `npm --prefix ... exec -- playwright`; it must retain the release-WASM, Viceroy
+  config, Docker image, npm install, and TSJS fixture preparation from Task 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create deterministic local GPT and locally authored fictional APS-runner**
+      success/failure fixtures; run the vendored exact PUC 1.17.2 artifact for the
+      creative path. The fictional runner must not copy, transform, derive from, or
+      archive APS runner bytes and must never be packaged as a production fallback. Do
+      not replace PUC's `prebidMessenger`, `runDynamicRenderer`, or `h.sendMessage`
+      behavior and do not mock the kernel/services under test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement every spec §7.2 browser-observable race as grouped tables with exact**
+      terminal, DOM, targeting, listener, port, timer, and network assertions:
+  - PUC claim/join: simultaneous duplicate requests; live/tombstoned/native ids;
+    wrong source/slot, altered id, SafeFrame-shaped nesting, claim before/after
+    attributable nonempty or empty GAM, navigation/supersession on both sides, and
+    replay at tombstone expiry;
+  - capability/channel ownership: ticket/nonce capacity and eighth-draw collision,
+    zero/one/two transferred ports, registration before/at/after deadline, caller
+    abort before/after registration/insertion/document acceptance, channel loss,
+    settlement-post throw, owner watchdog versus late response, and exactly one
+    `OwnerSettlementV1` plus Promise settlement. The remote owner removes only an
+    uncommitted iframe at 20 seconds; accepted DOM survives;
+  - APS/ADM/cache documents: renderer load/error/removal/replacement, runner
+    acknowledgement/failure/timeout, exact 1/4096 dimensions in Rust/TS/embedded ES5/
+    cache/PUC DOM, ADM initial `about:blank` versus intended `srcdoc`, and proof that
+    only the current intended navigation can accept. Cache expansion uses only
+    `String(attempt.winnerContext.selectedCpm)` and leaves `${AUCTION_PRICE:B64}`
+    untouched;
+  - runtime/bootstrap: prepare reject/abort, activation throw at every checkpoint,
+    9,999/10,000/10,001 ms boundaries, duplicate `afterCommit`, 15/16 member capacity,
+    late continuation after fallback, publisher work during startup, exact same-task
+    rollback, full/fallback `TsjsApi` own surfaces, malformed boot, actual-Array queue
+    swap/retained references/native mutators/nested pushes/callback throws, and missing
+    main bundle after server projection;
+  - navigation/projection/API: immutable initial boot versus SPA-owned replacement,
+    stale/duplicate/malformed page-bids, exact grammar/count/UTF-8 and 8 MiB all-winner
+    reduction, 255/256/257 combined server/programmatic slots, transactional
+    `addAdUnits`, explicit and omitted `requestAds` snapshots, unknown/colliding ids,
+    concurrent partially overlapping batches, aborts/timeouts, logger/error behavior,
+    and attempt-prefix/ordinal exhaustion without issued-id retention;
+  - GPT/targeting: readiness, request-start, and completion on both deadline sides;
+    SRA ordering, duplicate response ids, old navigation callbacks, handoff and
+    disabled-initial-load suppression, DOM reconciliation at 249/250 and
+    4,999/5,000 ms, two-success cap, throw/false destroy, no second physical slot,
+    publisher ownership, and identical-string targeting generations plus same-value/
+    different-value set, per-key clear, clear-all, non-top rebase, and artifact
+    promotion/disposal races;
+  - Prebid: missing/stub/late/duplicate/older/partial artifacts; exact 10.26.0 and all
+    stamp/manifest caps; same-release reuse, different-release refusal, hostile own
+    property shapes, watchdog versus late module, `pbjs`/stamp replacement, exact
+    prepared-bid admission and non-publication, bidder aliases/user-ID/EID coverage,
+    selection/loser/timeout/abort behavior, refresh exclusions, native bid/queue
+    survival, and proof that the external artifact has no TS auction/render behavior;
+  - creative/diagnostics/integrations: every creative policy/boot/automatic-guard/
+    opaque-click case; render-trace ordering/enrichment/200-history/200-pending/32-
+    subscriber/async-delivery cases with no event alias; GPT diagnostics 512-fact,
+    64-slot, 10-cycle, 128-issue, 32-subscriber, latest-snapshot and inactive-zero-
+    effect cases; and every remaining integration alone/maximal with startup failure,
+    disposal, matcher, storage/consent, callback, and cross-isolation cases; and
+  - transport/protocol: every message/body/count/string boundary at minus-one/exact/
+    plus-one with multibyte and malformed encodings, plus the complete runner-proxy
+    redirect, media type, encoding, content-length, streamed-size, slow-drip, header-
+    stripping, byte-preserving, and empty non-leaking failure corpus through all
+    actual adapters, including Cloudflare and Spin wasm evidence.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Assert DOM/network/lifecycle outcomes directly. The suite must run with no**
+      external analytics or persistence service.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run:**
+
+  ```bash
+  ./scripts/integration-tests-aps-runner-proxy.sh --runtime axum
+  ./scripts/integration-tests-aps-runner-proxy.sh --runtime fastly
+  ./scripts/integration-tests-aps-runner-proxy.sh --runtime cloudflare

+
+### Task 21: Add and pass the attested real-GAM test-network suite
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/tests/shared/aps-real-gam.spec.ts`
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/helpers/gam-test-network.ts`
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/playwright.real-gam.config.ts`
+- Create: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/fixtures/configs/aps-real-gam.template.toml`
+- Create: `.github/workflows/aps-real-gam.yml`
+- Do not create a second runbook; this plan contains the release gate and commands
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a manually dispatched `aps-real-gam.yml` job using the protected GitHub**
+      environment `aps-real-gam` and a required `workflow_dispatch` string input
+      `release_id`, plus required `evidence_id` and `previous_artifact_id` inputs used
+      only for attestation/rollback evidence. Its exact environment contract is
+      `TS_REAL_GAM_PAGE_URL`, `TS_REAL_GAM_AUTH_HEADER`, and
+      `TS_REAL_GAM_EXPECTED_RELEASE_ID`; the first two are protected secrets and no
+      value is checked in. The template contains fictional placeholders only. This job
+      is not added to ordinary PR CI, but a successful run for the exact release id is
+      a mandatory cutover artifact.
+
+  The dedicated Playwright config has no local `globalSetup`, `globalTeardown`,
+  Viceroy, Docker, or WASM dependency. It runs only the remote real-GAM spec against
+  `TS_REAL_GAM_PAGE_URL`; importing the shared local config is forbidden by a test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Cover SSAT APS-PUC, Trusted Server Prebid APS-PUC, page-bids APS-PUC, direct APS,**
+      direct ADM/cache, attributable empty fallback, SRA, refresh, SPA navigation, and
+      collapsed-shell resize.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add negative fixtures for wrong id/source, invalid descriptor, no outer claim,**
+      no owner registration, no document acknowledgement, and APS runner failure.
+      Exercise the live fixed-target proxy and assert route, DOM, nested-iframe, exact
+      lifecycle callback, and terminal outcomes. There is no runner digest/version
+      check: mutable APS bytes are not TS source or release identity.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Capture browser console, GPT events, sanitized network metadata, DOM snapshots,**
+      screenshots, and sanitized traces under `test-results/`, `playwright-report/`,
+      and `real-gam-evidence/`. Disable response-body/HAR embedding for the APS runner
+      and creative resources and strip any such bodies if the browser tool records them
+      despite configuration. Before upload, inspect every archive/trace/HAR and fail if
+      it contains a runner or creative response body, authorization value, account id,
+      descriptor, or lifecycle capability; metadata such as URL/status/timing is
+      allowed. Upload one artifact named
+      `aps-real-gam-<run-id>` with the actual GitHub run id and 30-day retention.
+      Pass/fail comes from
+      exact request/DOM/lifecycle assertions.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Require a clean pass in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit before cutover. If the GAM**
+      test network itself cannot support a browser, record that as a release blocker
+      instead of silently weakening the criterion.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Provide and verify the exact manual equivalent from the browser package:**
+
+  ```bash
+  TS_REAL_GAM_PAGE_URL=... \
+  TS_REAL_GAM_AUTH_HEADER=... \
+  TS_REAL_GAM_EXPECTED_RELEASE_ID=... \
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser exec -- \
+    playwright test --config=playwright.real-gam.config.ts \
+      tests/shared/aps-real-gam.spec.ts \
+      --project=chromium --project=firefox --project=webkit

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add an absence test/search for:**
+  - `globalThis.tscreative`, `globalThis.tsCreativeConfig`, `installGuards`,
+    `setConfig`, and `getConfig`;
+  - legacy `window.__tsjs_*` runtime flags;
+  - callback/void `requestAds`, `renderAdUnit`, `renderAllAdUnits`, mutable generic
+    config, `TsjsApiV1`, and every old public declaration/alias;
+  - `tsjs.renders`, `renderLog`, `renderSeq`, `tsjs:adRendered`,
+    `tsjs.gptDiagnostics`, and old GPT diagnostics flags/expandos;
+  - `__tsRenderGeneration` and `__tsRenderBid`;
+  - `tsjs.apsPrebidRenderers`;
+  - the module-global core context-provider map and integration imports of
+    `registerContextProvider`/`collectContext`;
+  - integration-owned GPT/Prebid function sentinels;
+  - duplicate `Prebid Request` listeners and refresh wrappers;
+  - empty catches in migrated paths;
+  - `PAGE_BIDS_LEGACY_PATH`, `/__ts/page-bids`, and the JS retry/fallback marker;
+  - the unversioned `/integrations/aps/renderer` route;
+  - APS `pub_id` deserialization alias and its compatibility documentation;
+  - any APS runner asset, copied body, version/digest/metadata/license record,
+    updater/downloader, SRI/integrity attribute, generated runner artifact, offline
+    fallback, positive `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` route, or runner-cache
+    requirement;
+  - any enabled `TS_TEST_APS_V1`, integration-only upstream resolver, loopback
+    fixture address, Wrangler service binding, or Spin/Viceroy proxy-test manifest
+    reference in a production build/release artifact;
+  - every temporary architectural lint allowlist entry.
+
+  For `window.__tsjs_*`, assert absence in all shipped JavaScript, including the pure
+  generated Prebid external artifact. For every former integration configuration
+  emitter/consumer, separately assert the exact immutable `tsjs.boot.*` replacement
+  in server output, integration consumers, fixtures, and current guides; deleting an
+  emitter without migrating its value is a test failure.
+
+  Scope the executable search to shipped source, current guides, tests, scripts,
+  and workflows; exclude historical `docs/superpowers` designs/plans because this
+  work does not rewrite separate completed specifications. The enumerated file list
+  above is the current baseline hit inventory and must be updated if Task 0 finds
+  another in-scope hit.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Delete unreachable old paths, compatibility declarations,**
+      branches, and test-only production exports. Keep only `tsjs.que`, `tsjs.boot`,
+      the exact `TsjsApi` public surfaces, `_registerIntegration`, and the frozen
+      status-only `_internal` surface described by the spec. Do not expose the
+      service registry or a second integration-registration name.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make `/__ts/page-bids`, the unversioned renderer path, unknown renderer versions,**
+      and `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` local unknown-route responses, never aliases.
+      Keep only `/_ts/page-bids`, static `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`, and live
+      fixed-target proxy `/integrations/aps/runner.js`. Update route/parity tests and
+      APS/configuration guides to those hard-cutover surfaces. The absence test must
+      distinguish the required negative `runner/v1.js` assertion from a forbidden
+      positive handler.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add an executable absence script to `package.json` and CI, build every**
+      integration combination used by server fixtures, and rerun all TS and adapter
+      route tests.
+
+### Task 23: Add deterministic bundle, browser-time, and retained-heap gates
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/build-all.mjs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs`
+- Read: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/tests/shared/tsjs-performance.spec.ts`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/test.yml`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Consume, but do not regenerate, the pre-change artifact captured in Task 0. Fail**
+      minimal/reference/maximal deterministic gzip or Brotli growth above 5% unless a
+      separate review explicitly updates the baseline.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: On the pinned Chromium/CI-machine/fixture, measure boot-to-first-display p90 after**
+      five warmups and 50 samples and require ≤1.10× the Task 0 baseline. Do not rerun
+      selectively to turn a failed sample into a pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Through Chromium CDP, collect garbage then record retained heap after boot, first**
+      render, refresh, and SPA navigation; gate each checkpoint at ≤1.10×. Firefox and
+      WebKit remain correctness-only and do not emit synthetic heap equivalents.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Keep these gates separate from render correctness: performance cannot convert a**
+      failed conformance test to a pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the gate from a clean checkout through the same fixture-preparation script**
+      and write a separate measured artifact; never overwrite the Task 0 baseline:
+
+  ```bash
+  TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs \
+  TS_BROWSER_PROJECTS=chromium \
+  TSJS_PERF_MODE=gate \
+  TSJS_PERF_OUTPUT=crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/test-results/tsjs-performance-current.json \
+    ./scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh \
+      tests/shared/tsjs-performance.spec.ts --project=chromium
+  node crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs
+  ```
+
+### Task 24: Run final repository verification and assemble the cutover evidence
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/test.yml`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/aps-real-gam.yml`
+- Do not create another plan/design/runbook; workflow artifacts are the evidence
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run formatting:**
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo fmt --all -- --check
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run format
+  npm --prefix docs run format
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run Rust correctness and lint for every adapter:**
+
+  ```bash
+  cargo test-fastly
+  cargo test-axum
+  cargo test-cloudflare
+  cargo test-spin
+  cargo clippy-fastly
+  cargo clippy-axum

+  ./scripts/integration-tests-aps-runner-proxy.sh --runtime spin
+  cargo clippy --manifest-path crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run TypeScript and bundle verification:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ci
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test

+  node crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs
+  npm --prefix docs run lint
+  npm --prefix docs run build
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run three clean-checkout workflows for the exact release commit. Add**
+      `workflow_dispatch` with required `evidence_id` and `release_id` inputs to
+      `test.yml`; that workflow executes the complete format/typecheck/lint/Vitest/
+      bundle/Rust-test/clippy matrix from steps 1–3 and uploads its command logs plus
+      validated release id. The integration workflow owns adapter startup/artifact
+      setup and executes the full integration suite plus focused
+      Chromium/Firefox/WebKit APS files. The protected real-GAM workflow runs for the
+      same ref/release id.
+
+  Add manual `evidence_id`, `release_id`, and `previous_artifact_id` inputs where
+  relevant and include the evidence id in each workflow's `run-name`. After the
+  checked build, derive `RELEASE_ID` only from Task 8's validated generated
+  manifest. For the repository's Fastly production target, the authoritative prior
+  immutable artifact is the one active Fastly service version immediately before
+  dispatch; query it through the pinned Fastly CLI and require exactly one active
+  version. Pass both values explicitly; an empty/ambiguous value is a blocker.
+  Dispatch only a pushed branch verified to resolve to `RELEASE_SHA`, capture each
+  exact run id through the Task 0 dispatch helper, wait with `--exit-status`, and
+  verify every `headSha`, conclusion, and release-id attestation:
+
+  ```bash
+  RELEASE_REF="$(git branch --show-current)"
+  RELEASE_SHA="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
+  RELEASE_ID="$(npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run --silent print:release-id)"
+  test -n "$RELEASE_REF"
+  test -n "$RELEASE_ID"
+  test -n "$FASTLY_SERVICE_ID"
+  PREVIOUS_FASTLY_VERSION="$(fastly service version list \
+    --service-id "$FASTLY_SERVICE_ID" --json | \
+    jq -er '[.[] | select(.active == true)] | if length == 1 then .[0].number else error("expected one active Fastly version") end')"
+  PREVIOUS_ARTIFACT_ID="fastly-service-version:$PREVIOUS_FASTLY_VERSION"
+  git fetch origin "$RELEASE_REF"
+  test "$RELEASE_SHA" = "$(git rev-parse "origin/$RELEASE_REF")"
+  test -n "$PREVIOUS_ARTIFACT_ID"
+  EVIDENCE_ID="aps-tsjs-cutover-$RELEASE_SHA"
+  QUALITY_RUN_ID="$(node scripts/dispatch-workflow-run.mjs \
+    test.yml "$RELEASE_REF" \
+    evidence_id="$EVIDENCE_ID" \
+    release_id="$RELEASE_ID")"
+  INTEGRATION_RUN_ID="$(node scripts/dispatch-workflow-run.mjs \
+    integration-tests.yml "$RELEASE_REF" \
+    evidence_id="$EVIDENCE_ID" \
+    release_id="$RELEASE_ID" \
+    previous_artifact_id="$PREVIOUS_ARTIFACT_ID")"
+  REAL_GAM_RUN_ID="$(node scripts/dispatch-workflow-run.mjs \
+    aps-real-gam.yml "$RELEASE_REF" \
+    evidence_id="$EVIDENCE_ID" \
+    release_id="$RELEASE_ID" \
+    previous_artifact_id="$PREVIOUS_ARTIFACT_ID")"
+  for RUN_ID in "$QUALITY_RUN_ID" "$INTEGRATION_RUN_ID" "$REAL_GAM_RUN_ID"; do
+    gh run watch "$RUN_ID" --exit-status
+    test "$RELEASE_SHA" = "$(gh run view "$RUN_ID" --json headSha --jq .headSha)"
+    test success = "$(gh run view "$RUN_ID" --json conclusion --jq .conclusion)"
+  done
+  ```
+
+  All three exact runs must conclude `success`; every evidence manifest must report
+  the same embedded release id and commit SHA, and integration plus real-GAM
+  artifacts must report the same prior artifact id. The dispatch helper or a
+  post-download manifest check verifies those fields against `RELEASE_ID`,
+  `RELEASE_SHA`, and `PREVIOUS_ARTIFACT_ID`; a run-name alone is not evidence. An
+  unavailable protected environment is a blocker.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Audit the final diff:**
+  - only planned source/test/build/runbook surfaces changed;
+  - no old/new compatibility path remains;
+  - no new external observability, persistence, billing, or experiment artifact;
+  - no descriptor/capability/account/creative payload is logged;
+  - no empty catch or unowned timer/listener/port/iframe in migrated paths;
+  - every one of the 144 pinned `rc/july` files maps through all 38 live rows to the
+    same 23 ledger ids, with no unmapped/dead/gap result;
+  - no integration-module preparation performs observable work, no activation yields,
+    and no post-fallback callback can revive the kernel;
+  - the public surface is `TsjsApi` only; numeric suffixes remain only on serialized
+    versioned boot/wire/artifact schemas; and
+  - no unrelated integration behavior was refactored.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Extend the workflows to upload `aps-tsjs-quality-<run-id>`,**
+      `aps-tsjs-cutover-<commit-sha>`, and `aps-real-gam-<run-id>` artifacts,
+      substituting actual GitHub values. Include exact command logs, sanitized
+      Playwright reports/traces, route parity output, corpus/staleness output, bundle/
+      performance reports, release id, commit SHA, run id, conclusion, and where
+      applicable the prior deployable artifact id. Run the Task 21 pre-upload scrub on
+      every browser artifact and fail if APS runner/creative bodies, secrets,
+      descriptors, or capabilities are present. GitHub Actions artifacts for those
+      three successful runs are the sole evidence location; do not create another
+      repository document.
+
+## Cutover procedure
+
+Use the existing deployment mechanism; this plan adds no router or experiment
+infrastructure.
+
+1. Deploy to pre-production and rerun renderer-route, direct, PUC, refresh, SRA, and
+   SPA smoke tests.
+2. Confirm the final artifact contains only the new runtime/API and that server and
+   TSJS bundles belong to the same ordinary release.
+3. Hold an exclusive production deployment window from Task 24 evidence capture
+   through cutover. Immediately before deployment, re-query the active Fastly
+   version with the same exact command and require it to equal the attested
+   `PREVIOUS_FASTLY_VERSION`:
+
+   ```bash
+   CURRENT_FASTLY_VERSION="$(fastly service version list \
+     --service-id "$FASTLY_SERVICE_ID" --json | \
+     jq -er '[.[] | select(.active == true)] | if length == 1 then .[0].number else error("expected one active Fastly version") end')"
+   test "$CURRENT_FASTLY_VERSION" = "$PREVIOUS_FASTLY_VERSION"
+   ```
+
+   Any mismatch blocks deployment and requires fresh evidence for the new prior
+   artifact; never roll back to a stale attestation.
+
+4. Perform one binary production cutover. Immediately verify:
+   - existing service availability/error/latency health is normal;
+   - APS renderer endpoint smoke passes;
+   - direct APS and one GAM/PUC APS smoke pass;
+   - no CSP/security console regression;
+   - no non-APS cache/ADM, native Prebid, refresh, SRA, or SPA regression.
+
+5. Hold before cutover if evidence is missing. After cutover, roll back the complete
+   artifact immediately on a TS code, request, CSP/security, or non-APS regression;
+   do not add percentage routing or dual-pool infrastructure. For Fastly, rollback
+   reactivates the exact attested prior immutable version:
+
+   ```bash
+   fastly service version activate \
+     --service-id "$FASTLY_SERVICE_ID" \
+     --version "$PREVIOUS_FASTLY_VERSION"
+   ```
+
+6. Treat a live-runner incident separately because binary rollback cannot restore
+   older APS-owned bytes. If the proxied runner is unavailable, incompatible, or
+   produces suspect completion behavior, disable `[integrations.aps]` using the
+   existing configuration mechanism. Verify that new APS bids are not admitted and
+   both reserved APS routes return local `404 no-store` without publisher fallback.
+   Keep APS disabled until the controlled Chromium/Firefox/WebKit real-browser
+   conformance gate passes again; do not vendor or pin a runner as containment.
+7. Monitor existing operational signals for 24 hours and rerun the focused
+   real-browser smoke suite.
+8. Confirm again that the deployed artifact contains no development selector or
+   compatibility path; Task 22 made this a pre-release absence gate.
+
+## Completion criteria
+
+The plan is complete only when:
+
+1. All five render flows pass exact hermetic and real-GAM lifecycle assertions, and
+   every created attempt settles exactly once under the mandatory race matrix.
+2. Rust, TypeScript, embedded ES5, programmatic registration, cache expansion, and
+   DOM validation agree on the exact descriptor grammar and 1–4096 dimensions while
+   preserving invalid-versus-out-of-range reasons.
+3. Initial and SPA projections enforce all grammar/count/UTF-8/8 MiB bounds
+   transactionally; SPA state lives only in `NavigationSession`, boot stays frozen,
+   and over-cap projections reduce all winners to `winner_not_renderable` without TS
+   projected bids or `/auction` seatbids.
+4. Server reservations are the sole PUC authority, attempt/ticket/nonce issuers are
+   bounded as specified, and every live reservation/attempt retains the immutable
+   `WinnerContext` used for cache price expansion instead of response, targeting, or
+   current-projection data.
+5. GPT physical-cycle ownership, exact handoff, two-success DOM reconciliation,
+   transactional destroy/redefine, and the owner-and-value targeting journal pass all
+   publisher-mutation and same-string generation races without a second physical
+   slot or blind clear.
+6. PUC capture, owner-control, direct/remote iframe cleanup, accepted-artifact
+   promotion, and the 20-second owner watchdog obey their exact ownership boundaries;
+   native Prebid requests remain untouched.
+7. One runtime owns all integration modules, sessions, slots, projections, auction-
+   context contributors, reservations, batches, targeting frames, timers, listeners,
+   observers, ports, and renderer iframes. Module preparation is inert, activation is
+   synchronous and reversible, commit is atomic, and post-commit work cannot expose a
+   partial kernel.
+8. The kernel and fallback expose their exact `TsjsApi` own surfaces, semantic
+   version/release identity, immutable boot, actual-Array queue semantics, logger,
+   programmatic registration, Promise `requestAds`, and diagnostics presence. No
+   `TsjsApiV1` or placeholder/callback alias exists.
+9. The pure external Prebid.js 10.26.0 artifact independently drains publisher work,
+   implements the exact frozen artifact stamp and duplicate/conflict rules, binds
+   `pbjs` plus stamp identity, and contains no TS auction, admission, render,
+   targeting, refresh, global flag, or TSJS release coupling.
+10. Render trace and GPT diagnostics expose only the exact bounded frozen asynchronous
+    APIs; no correctness callback runs publisher diagnostics code, no legacy event or
+    alias remains, inactive GPT diagnostics has zero incremental side effects, and
+    creative guards auto-install from exact frozen boot data with both-false zero DOM
+    effects.
+11. Every one of the 144 pinned `rc/july` files maps through 38 live mappings to all
+    23 ledger ids, and the complete GPT, Prebid, APS, creative, diagnostics, shared-
+    helper, remaining-integration, and browser parity corpora pass alone and in the
+    maximal manifest.
+12. Static renderer and live fixed-target runner-proxy status, exact headers,
+    bounded/deadline behavior, and fail-closed evidence parsing are proven through
+    all four actual adapter transports; no APS runner bytes/version/digest/license/
+    SRI/updater/fallback/cache requirement exists in TS source or release evidence.
+13. Legacy globals, expandos, sentinels, duplicate listeners/wrappers, mutable
+    creative/diagnostics surfaces, old routes, old declarations, and compatibility
+    shape detection are absent after the hard cutover.
+14. Non-APS cache/ADM, native Prebid, publisher GPT, SRA, refresh, SPA, creative,
+    notification, and every other integration regression suite passes without an
+    unrelated feature rewrite.
+15. Format, lint, typecheck, adoption/architecture/absence checks, all adapter tests
+    and clippy targets, Vitest, bundle/artifact builds, Playwright, size, browser-time,
+    and retained-heap gates pass in attested clean-checkout quality, integration, and
+    real-GAM runs for the exact release SHA and release id.
+16. The binary cutover and 24-hour monitor complete or the exact prior immutable
+    artifact is restored cleanly; no runtime selector, percentage router, or dual
+    protocol is introduced.
+17. The emergency APS-disable path stops admission and returns local `404 no-store`
+    for both reserved APS routes; binary rollback is never represented as restoring
+    mutable upstream runner bytes.
+18. No analytics, persistence, billing, experimentation, deployment-routing, or new
+    external observability requirement was introduced.

 # APS Render Fix and TSJS Resilience Architecture — Design
 
-- **Status:** revision 10 — closes the ninth review round (assignment-id
-  trusted path, control-build event parity, affinity lifetime, two-phase
-  bridge ack, missing-slot termination, materialized cycle denominator,
-  publisher-bound affinity token, admin route family, billing estimator
-  source, independent RC attestation) and re-inlines the alternatives and
-  risk registers so the document is genuinely self-contained.
+- **Status:** revision 27 — hard-cutover contract with complete `rc/july` TSJS
+  adoption
 - **Date:** 2026-08-04
-- **Baseline:** `rc/july` @ `248fe9558` ("Fix APS PUC rendering and collapsed
-  GAM shells"). All file:line citations refer to this commit.
-- **Inputs:** three code audits; design reviews of revisions 1–8; open issues
-  #926, #941, #944, #962, #964, #977, #983, #989, #993; open PR #997.
-- **Normative gates:** Appendix A ships with this design; changes require
-  reviewed decision records.
-- **Adoption stance for the baseline APS fixes (`248fe9558`):** contracts
-  adopted (MessageChannel handshake semantics, collapsed-shell remediation,
-  consolidated bridge branch), implementations rebuilt inside the target
-  architecture; the baseline browser tests pass unmodified as the
-  conformance pin.
-
-## 0. Release policy: coordinated hard cutover
-
-- One release: server, TSJS bundles, config, HTML under one **`release_id`**.
-  No N/N−1; in-flight clients may fail at cutover — accepted and stated.
-- **Exact release matching**; mismatch is a refusal.
-- **Config is a release-time, content-verified input.** `format_version`
-  exact-match. **`config_hash` = SHA-256 over the exact fetched envelope
-  bytes**, bound through compiled release metadata (or a signed manifest
-  with an embedded verification key); the binary verifies at startup and
-  fails loudly on mismatch. Publish order: blob, then manifest. Rollback =
-  redeploy the previous release with its own verified config; binding
-  prevalidated.
-- Assets: embedded only; hashed pathnames for cache identity; unknown hash →
-  `410`, `no-store`.
-- **Authenticated sticky affinity.** The router sets `ts-rel` on HTML
-  responses — format
-  `r1.<kid>.<exp>.<phost>.<release>.<cohort>.<assignment_id>.<sig>`:
-  `kid ^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; canonical decimal `exp`; `phost` = normalized
-  publisher host; `release ^[a-z0-9._-]{1,40}$` from the allowlist;
-  `cohort ∈ {canary, control}`; `assignment_id` = 32-hex CSPRNG (the
-  pseudonymous **randomization unit**, §8); `sig` = unpadded base64url
-  HMAC-SHA-256 over the domain-separated length-prefixed input
-  `"ts-affinity-v1" || u32be(len)||field …` over **every** field
-  including `phost` (so a valid token replayed against another publisher
-  host fails); keys owned/rotated by the routing layer (active + previous,
-  retained ≥ the affinity lifetime + skew); constant-time verification;
-  test vectors checked in. Attributes `Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax;
-Path=/`. Cache keys use the post-validation release label only.
-- **Affinity lifetime covers the experiment.** `exp` TTL is set to the
-  **maximum experiment window** in force (default 14 days — the billing
-  gate's 7 d + 7 d extension), not 24 h, so a canary visitor never crosses
-  over to control mid-experiment. Renewal on any HTML response before
-  expiry re-signs the **same `assignment_id` and `cohort`** with a fresh
-  `exp` (a browser session's arm is fixed for the experiment). Expired
-  tokens are distinguished from forged ones (expired = valid sig, past
-  `exp`) and, during an active experiment, expired-but-valid tokens are
-  renewed to their original arm rather than reassigned.
-- **assignment_id reaches telemetry only by a trusted server path.** The
-  cookie is `HttpOnly`; the client never reads it and never sends
-  `assignment_id`. The router **strips any inbound assignment/cohort
-  header**, validates `ts-rel`, and injects trusted internal metadata
-  (`X-TS-Cohort`, `X-TS-Assignment`, `X-TS-Release`) on the proxied
-  request; the client-events handler stamps those onto every row
-  server-side. Ingest rejects any client-supplied assignment/cohort field.
-  Tests: spoofed inbound header stripped; wrong-arm; null-rate; cookie
-  expiry mid-session; cross-pool.
-- **State-dependent routing defaults:** during canary, valid tokens route by
-  their binding; invalid/forged → control + reissue; expired-but-valid →
-  renewed to their arm (above). **Forward cutover ("weight 100%")
-  explicitly retires the old release:** for HTML **and** non-HTML request
-  families, stale/invalid/old-release-bound tokens are reassigned/routed to
-  the active release — 100% means 100%. **Rollback symmetrically retires
-  the new release:** still-valid canary bindings are overridden on every
-  request family, not merely defaulted.
-- **CSP-report affinity never depends on cookies:** the renderer is
-  sandboxed without `allow-same-origin` (`aps/render.ts:4`), so its
-  browser-generated reports are cross-origin to the publisher endpoint and
-  carry no cookie. Release/cohort identity is encoded in the
-  **server-generated report path's `policy_id`** (minted per
-  `{release, policy version, cohort}`, registered in the header manifest);
-  the router routes `/_ts/csp-reports/<policy_id>` by that registry.
-- Beacon and trace-auth transports use `credentials: "same-origin"` so the
-  affinity cookie routes them; handlers derive no identity from cookies.
-- **Canary/control measurement (closing the empty-control-arm gap):** the
-  control pool runs an **observation-only control build** — baseline render
-  _decisions_, but with **every measurement-only lifecycle hook the
-  Phase-3 gates read**. The control build implements a normative
-  **event-parity contract**: it emits `request_cycle_started`,
-  `attempt_started`, `bridge_request`, `bridge_response_sent`,
-  `renderer_document_loaded`/`adm_document_loaded`, and `render_terminal`
-  at the **same timing points** as the canary build, populated from
-  baseline behavior (e.g. its own `slotRenderEnded`, its own bridge
-  responses) — only the render-decision code differs, never the event
-  definitions or their emission points. Both arms therefore populate the
-  funnel and latency gates identically. Arms write to **arm-specific
-  datasources**; the union view stamps a trusted `deployment_pool` from the
-  write identity. The event-parity contract is itself gated by an **A/A
-  test** (canary-build vs canary-build) that must show zero metric
-  movement before any A/B canary begins.
-- Router weight over sticky cohorts is the sole activation primitive; flags
-  are in-pool emergency kill switches. Cutover = weight 100% + CDN purge;
-  rollback = weight back + re-purge. The affinity acceptance test covers
-  HTML, assets, APIs, beacons, and CSP reports (via path identity).

-## 1. Problem statement
-
-APS demand is fully integrated server-side, yet APS creatives do not appear
-reliably. Four serial fixes (the `bid.meta` carrier, the decoupled shim,
-the `hb_adid` fallback, the baseline PUC/collapsed-shell fix) each survived
-review; the pattern is the finding: **multiple independent failure points,
-most failing silently**, with no client→server signal about which fired.
-The TSJS library (56 files, ~11,900 lines, two ~1,800-line monoliths,
-duplicated ES5/TS logic, inverted layering, ~100 error-swallowing catches)
-is the same problem structurally.
-
-### Non-goals
-
-- No change to the APS OpenRTB endpoint contract (including its deliberate
-  absence of `nurl`/`burl`, §G4d).
-- No rewrite of the decoupled Prebid.js strategy.
-- No backward compatibility (§0); replacement surfaces in §7.4.
-
-## 2. Why APS does not render — evidence
-
-Flows: (a) SSAT via `window.tsjs.bids`; (b) GAM + client `trustedServer`
-Prebid adapter; (c) SPA `/_ts/page-bids`; (d) direct `/auction`. Only (d)
-renders an APS descriptor without GAM.

-## 3. The GPT and baseline reality
-
-1. Bootstrap-first hybrid; the bundle's handoff/initial-load code is dead
-   in production.
-2. #922 merge loss (`0dc9b19a9`); PR #997 is the apparent replacement.
-3. TS refreshes never pass `changeCorrelator: false`.
-4. `enableSingleRequest()` called blind after publisher `enableServices()`.
-5. Responsive-resolution ambiguity silently skips slots.
-6. Three independent `pubads().refresh` wrappers.
-7. GPT has no cancellation, no per-refresh identity, no completion-order
-   guarantee; `slotRenderEnded` = code injected; `responseIdentifier`
-   identifies responses only.
-8. `display()` under disabled initial load creates no request — for any
-   caller (`gpt/index.ts:1175`, `ad_init.test.ts:1201-1263`).
-9. `slotRenderEnded` registration gated behind `!ts.servicesEnabled`
-   (`gpt/index.ts:1091`).
-10. Baseline `248fe9558`: MessageChannel APS-PUC handshake
-    (`aps.rs:65-125`, `aps/render.ts:415-437`), collapsed-shell resize
-    (`gpt/index.ts:217`), C5 consolidated, real-PUC browser test.
-11. The bridge keeps consumed-id tombstones (`gpt/index.ts:1527`).
-12. The tester cookie is not a security control (`tester_cookie.rs:3`).
-13. Fastly constructs application state per request (`app.rs:146`); its
-    platform counter is a 60 s window with separate lookup/increment
-    (`rate_limiter.rs:40`).
-14. The baseline auction client collapses every failure into an empty
-    array (`core/auction.ts:185-224`).
-15. A single `/auction` request can carry several slots; concurrent calls
-    race today (`request.ts:31`) and share one fetch.
-
-## 4. Design gates
-
-### G1 — Trace identity, attempts, sampling, correlation
-
-- EC-derived auction ids (`publisher.rs:3237`) are never ingested.
-  Initial-HTML telemetry precedes page JS (`telemetry.rs:148`,
-  `publisher.rs:2452`); correlation is minted by whoever acts first: the
-  server for `nav_gen 0` (trace + signed authorization in `tsjs.boot`);
-  the client afterwards via `X-TSJS-Trace-Id` on page-bids (GET) and the
-  `/auction` POST, echoed back with
-  `ext.trusted_server.trace = {trace_id, auth, auction_id}`.
-- **Attempt identity (closing the parent/child collision):** every render
-  attempt mints a client-side **`attempt_id`** (8-char `[a-z0-9]`,
-  CSPRNG) and carries nullable **`parent_attempt_id`** (fallback children
-  reference their parent). **The canonical attempt key is
-  `(publisher_domain, trace_id, attempt_id)`** — `attempt_id` alone (≈ 2.8
-  T values) is not globally unique at production volume, so
-  `ts_render_attempts_v` keys and parent lookups use the full triple.
-  Uniqueness within a trace is guaranteed by a **per-trace live-set
-  collision check with retry** (the `NavigationSession` holds the issued
-  set; a collision re-draws). The tuple
-  `(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot)` remains a **grouping key only**.
-  Exactly one terminal event per attempt key (G4c) is a tested invariant.
-- **Deterministic keyed sampling:** first 8 bytes of
-  `HMAC-SHA-256(sampling_key, trace_id)` as u64 BE; `sampled` iff
-  `u64 < floor(sample_rate × 2⁶⁴)`; `sample_rate` finite in `[0, 1]`.
-- **Cross-tier join:** equality key = the server telemetry
-  **`auction_id`** (UUID; the client column is `Nullable(UUID)` and
-  ingest validates canonical UUID syntax). Generations are client-side
-  only. **Join grains are explicit, and the slot grain goes through a
-  dedicated summary view.** `auction_events_raw` has multiple
-  `row_kind=slot` rows per slot (bid, provider, drop, selection), so a
-  `auction_id + slot` join multiplies rows; funnels therefore join against
-  **`ts_auction_slot_summary_v` — one row per `(auction_id,
-canonical_slot)`** built from the `selection_summary` slot rows.
-  Auction-level joins hit the one totals/summary row per `auction_id`;
-  bid/drop/provider joins carry their real grain and are opt-in. **Client
-  `slot` and server `slot_id` use the same canonical normalization**
-  (lowercased, `-container` suffix stripped — the resolution rule of
-  `gpt/index.ts:112-138`), applied on both sides and tested.
-- Cache-privacy invariant: traces/authorizations only in per-request
-  auction-bearing responses; such HTML is `private, no-store`.
-- Envelope: per-trace groups `{trace_id, auth, events[]}`; events carry
-  `{nav_gen, refresh_gen, seq, flow, attempt_id?, parent_attempt_id?,
-auction_id?, t_rel_ms?}`. **`t_rel_ms`** (time, relative, in
-  milliseconds) is a bounded monotonic duration (`performance.now()`
-  truncated to u32 ms, relative to
-  navigation start) — the latency gates' basis; `received_at` is ingest
-  time and is never used as event time. `flow` is closed:
-  `ssat | prebid | page_bids | direct | fallback | system`.
-- Traces are navigation-scoped; attempt counts key on `attempt_id`.
-
-### G2 — Render identity
-
-- Cache-backed bids: `hb_adid` = PBS Cache UUID byte-for-byte
-  (`publisher.rs:3355`, `gpt/index.ts:1772`). Markup bids: existing
-  fallback chain. Renderer-only bids: server-minted token
-  `^[a-z0-9]{12}$`, CSPRNG, in-auction collision retry, TTL 15 min,
-  one-time consumption.
-- **Reservation store:** live registrations + tombstones (consumed /
-  stale / disposed) share one structure, **union capacity 320**; expired
-  entries pruned; **unexpired entries never evicted**; at capacity, new
-  registration refused with `registry_full`. Late prior-navigation
-  requests always meet suppression until original TTL (preserving
-  `gpt/index.ts:1527`). Test: >320 registrations, late oldest-id request.
-- Client-Prebid keeps Prebid's `adId`; one store serves both paths.
-  Non-APS cache-path byte-identity regression tests.
-
-### G3 — Runtime ABI (exact-release)
-
-- IIFE-per-bundle with inlined imports (`build-all.mjs:46`,
-  `bundle.rs:23`); imports never share state (defect:
-  `core/context.ts:11` vs `permutive/index.ts:102`). Kernel only in
-  `tsjs-core`; `tsjs._internal = {release_id, registry}` frozen after
-  boot; core services constructed at boot; plugins via
-  `definePlugin({id, release, install})` with build-generated `release`;
-  `registry.get` succeeds only on equality; mismatch quarantines
-  (`abi_mismatch`/`bundle_partial`) loudly.
-- **Boundary enforcement:** `import/no-restricted-paths` for layering,
-  plus a **custom scope-aware ESLint rule** for external-global access —
-  standard `no-restricted-properties`/`no-restricted-syntax` cannot
-  follow arbitrary aliasing, so the custom rule tracks member access to
-  `googletag`/`pbjs` through `window`/`globalThis`/`self` **and
-  same-file const aliases**; anything cleverer (cross-module smuggling)
-  is caught by review, and the claim is scoped to exactly that. Adapters
-  are the only access to external ad-tech globals; kernel/messaging
-  necessarily touch `window.tsjs` and `postMessage`.
-
-### G4 — Render lifecycle
-
-**G4a — Physical request cycles.** Intents (both classes, one causal
-queue): any `display()` under disabled initial load is retired at
-issuance regardless of caller; hindsight zero-request intents expire at
-2 s with `intent_no_request`; **any later request-capable intent — same
-class or opposite — supersedes a pending uncertain intent**, and if the
-uncertain one could still be in flight, the next `slotRequested` is
-ambiguous → quarantine. Cycles open only on `slotRequested` (causal
-head; SRA = one per slot per batch) and close on `slotRenderEnded`
-(`responseIdentifier` dedups drain). **Each attributable `slotRequested`
-emits exactly one `request_cycle_started` event** — the materialized
-denominator the fill and attribution gates divide by (`attempt_started`
-is not equivalent: an attempt can fail before producing a physical
-request). One outstanding TS cycle per slot; one queued replacement.
-Attribution requires exactly one outstanding TS cycle and no overlap;
-otherwise `cycle_unattributable`, fail closed. **No timeout re-arm** —
-re-arm only on count-based drain, safe TS-owned destroy/redefine, or page
-end; unissued intents are NavigationSession children; physical state is
-RuntimeSession. Deterministic-harness CI +
-the release-gating real-GAM suite (Appendix A.3).
-
-**G4b — Two-phase acknowledgement (the nonce is minted by the claim, not
-carried in the request).** The baseline PUC request is `{message, adId}`
-
-- a `MessagePort` — it cannot carry a nonce or generations, and the nonce
-  can only exist **after** a claim succeeds. So the protocol is two phases:
-
-* **Phase 1 — claim (on the incoming `Prebid Request`):** validate source
-  ownership (§6.8), the reserved `adId` against the reservation store, and
-  the internal current `nav_gen`/`refresh_gen` **held in the kernel**
-  (not in the message); on success, **mint the per-attempt 128-bit CSPRNG
-  nonce**, bind notifications, reply over the `MessagePort` (the renderer
-  depends on this reply to settle its PUC promise), and — for the APS
-  path — hand the nonce to the renderer document in the response.
-* **Phase 2 — acknowledgement (later document/runner messages):** validate
-  source, nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen`. Navigation/supersession
-  invalidates the nonce; late acks → `stale_navigation`. Deadlines:
-  document 3 s, runner 10 s, adm 5 s.
-
-Per render path:
-
-1. **APS-PUC** (baseline transport): the Phase-1 reply travels over the
-   `MessagePort`; the response also transfers the freshly minted nonce
-   into the renderer document (`ports.length` checks, exact-key replies,
-   one-shot latch, port close); the document then posts authenticated
-   `renderer_document_loaded` and the accepted/failed result to the top
-   window (Phase 2).
-2. **Generic ADM/cache-PUC:** **the acceptance observation lives in the
-   trusted owner, not the creative document** — the owner observes its
-   own iframe's `load`/`error` events and emits `adm_document_loaded`;
-   the nonce never enters the bidder realm (an injected reporter would
-   hand bidder-controlled code the acceptance credential and let it
-   trigger `burl` early — revision 8's reporter is withdrawn).
-3. **Direct APS:** the kernel is the frame parent; the baseline
-   parent-postMessage branch is already kernel-observed.
-4. **Direct ADM/cache:** as (2), owner-observed `load`/`error`.
-
-**G4c — Honest observations; one terminal event.** Observations:
-`gam_nonempty`, `gam_empty`, `gam_collapsed{action: resized | guarded}`,
-`renderer_document_loaded`, `runner_loaded`, `runner_failed`,
-`adm_document_loaded`. **The terminal is one discriminated event:
-`render_terminal{outcome: accepted | failed | no_bid | cancelled,
-reason?}` — exactly one per `attempt_id`** (replacing separate
-accepted/fail events the schema could not reconcile). A parent attempt
-whose GAM cycle ends empty emits `render_terminal{failed, gam_empty}`
-**before** its fallback child starts. Post-acceptance runner failure is
-an observation only (no billing-failure event exists — no honest
-producer). No observation claims paint. The baseline resize
-(`gpt/index.ts:217`) stays a sanctioned, guarded exception.
-
-**G4d — Notifications.** APS carries neither `nurl` nor `burl`
-(`aps.rs:839`) — excluded entirely. For carrying paths: bind per flow
-(PUC: owned matched bridge claim; direct: validated render start —
-server must preserve + macro-expand the URLs (`formats.rs:423` omits),
-client must parse + https-validate (`core/auction.ts:43` drops);
-fallback: attributed parent `gam_empty` immediately before child
-render). `nurl` at bind; `burl` at `accepted`; idempotency key
-`(trace_id, nav_gen, refresh_gen, slot, id_kind, id_value)`.
-**Dispatch mechanics (normative):** macros are expanded server-side
-only; the client fires exactly one
-`fetch(url, {method: "GET", mode: "no-cors", credentials: "omit",
-redirect: "follow", referrerPolicy: "no-referrer", keepalive: true})`
-and awaits its settlement. **There is no `Image()` fallback** — a
-detached image request would construct a separate credentialed,
-referrer-bearing request outside this privacy contract; a request that
-rejects (construction error) or resolves to a network failure emits
-`notification_sent{result: failed}` and stops. No retries. Every
-dispatch emits
-`notification_sent{kind, notif_id, result: queued | failed}` with the
-**server-minted `notif_id`** (12-char token delivered with the bid).
-Duplicates: hermetic exactly-once proof + production detection alarm +
-billing reconciliation (lossy telemetry cannot prove a zero).
-
-**G4e — Fallback.** Opt-in; child attempt (own `attempt_id`,
-`parent_attempt_id`, `flow = fallback`); renders only after the parent's
-attributed `render_terminal{failed, gam_empty}`; publisher-initiated or
-unattributable never triggers; timeouts never render.
-
-**G4f — Direct `/auction` lifecycle and the AuctionBatch.** A single
-`/auction` fetch may serve several slots, so cancellation is
-batch-aware: an **`AuctionBatch`** owns the fetch (its `AbortController`)
-and the child `RenderAttempt`s. Supersession cancels **children
-individually** (`render_terminal{cancelled}`); the fetch aborts only
-when every child is dead or the batch times out or its navigation
-disposes; every response bid is filtered through the **currently live**
-child identity before any effect. Tests: partial overlap, full overlap,
-timeout, navigation disposal, reversed responses. The auction client
-returns a discriminated result — `{ok: bids[]} | {error:
-"auction_timeout" | "network_error" | "http_error" | "invalid_response"}`
-(§3.14); only a parsed empty response is `no_bid`. **After the batch
-processes every response bid, each still-live child with no valid
-matching winner is terminated `render_terminal{no_bid}`** — a response
-carrying only slot X never leaves slot Y's child nonterminal, so
-`RequestAdsResult` always settles. Public API:
-`tsjs.requestAds(options): Promise<RequestAdsResult>`,
-`RequestAdsResult = {traceId, slots: [{slot, outcome, reason?}]}`,
-settling when every child attempt is terminal.

-**G4g — Mid-attempt configuration, honestly scoped.** Attempts snapshot
-configuration at creation. **Commit = the earliest irreversible action**
-(first of: notification dispatch, `bridge_response_sent`, first DOM
-insertion), with the generation/kill check immediately before each.
-**The kill switch's delivery is page-bound:** already-loaded pages have
-no push channel, so live switch state travels only on responses the
-page later fetches — page-bids and `/auction` responses carry
-`ext.trusted_server.switches`, and new HTML carries current state. The
-guarantee is therefore scoped: the switch affects attempts created
-after the page received switch state; SSAT attempts on already-loaded
-pages are unaffected by design, and the spec says so rather than
-implying a live channel that does not exist.

-### G5 — Deployment contracts
-
-- Config verification per §0. Assets pre-materialized at release
-  publication (config is a release-time input); serving is lookup-only;
-  unknown vector = build error; unknown hash = `410 no-store`; exact
-  match = `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`.
-- **Internal route families — five** (renderer, client-events,
-  CSP-report, `/_ts/trace-auth`, and the **admin issuance family**
-  `/_ts/admin/*` — diagnostic-credential and probe-authorization, §5.3):
-  all dispatch before auth/EC/publisher/integration filters (`app.rs:709`
-  orders these wrong today); all methods + version prefixes reserved
-  locally (405 + `Allow` + `no-store`; unknown version 404 `no-store`; no
-  publisher fall-through, `adapter-spin app.rs:804`); no
-  body/cookie/authorization forwarding to the publisher. **Per-family
-  origin/auth policy:** client-events + trace-auth strict normalized
-  same-origin; CSP admits opaque/`null` origins with path identity +
-  limits; renderer is a public GET validated by version/path; **the admin
-  family sits behind operator authentication with its own rate limits and
-  exists on all adapters that expose an admin plane** (elsewhere it is
-  absent, and diagnostic/probe modes are unavailable there — stated, not
-  implied). All five families appear in the four-adapter parity matrix.
-- Ingest routes in all four adapters; Fastly has real sinks; others
-  accept-count-drop (DR-5). §5.6 schemas deploy before writers.

-## 5. Observability
-
-### 5.1 Wire payload and field matrix
+- **Baseline:** `origin/rc/july` @ `905984e62` ("Prevent APS renderer document
+  clipping"), including `248fe9558` (PUC/MessageChannel and collapsed-shell
+  rendering) and `ed38f3e13` (PUC overflow prevention). File-and-line references
+  and commit hashes describe that baseline and are evidence, not permanent API
+  contracts.
+- **Compatibility:** this is a coordinated hard cutover. No backward-compatible
+  aliases, dual APIs, or N/N-1 browser/server protocol are required.
+- **Decision:** this document covers APS render correctness, the TSJS architecture
+  needed to make that correctness durable, and preservation or explicit
+  architectural replacement of every TSJS concept present on the baseline. It
+  does not add an external telemetry system or release experimentation.
+
+## 0. Scope and constraints
+
+### 0.1 Goals
+
+1. An accepted APS bid renders through every supported Trusted Server path:
+   SSAT/GPT, the Trusted Server Prebid adapter through GAM Universal Creative,
+   SPA page bids, and direct `/auction` rendering.
+2. Render ownership, identity, and completion are explicit. Races, stale SPA
+   work, ambiguous GPT events, duplicate creative requests, and timeouts settle
+   deterministically instead of failing silently.
+3. TSJS has one runtime kernel, bounded state, explicit lifetimes, and enforced
+   dependency boundaries. Integration bundles cannot accidentally create
+   independent copies of shared state.
+4. The Rust auction result, publisher projection, TypeScript parser, Prebid
+   registration, GPT targeting, Universal Creative bridge, and direct renderer
+   agree on one APS descriptor and identity contract.
+5. Security boundaries are testable: untrusted creative messages cannot claim a
+   different slot or attempt, replay a consumed capability, or revive work from a
+   prior navigation.
+6. Existing non-APS rendering behavior remains correct unless this design
+   explicitly replaces a shared lifecycle surface.
+7. Every TSJS behavior on the exact `rc/july` baseline is either preserved,
+   rebuilt behind the new architecture, or explicitly superseded by a named and
+   tested replacement contract. No TSJS behavior may disappear silently merely
+   because its old global, wrapper, bootstrap, or carrier is deleted.
+
+### 0.2 Non-goals
+
+- No change to analytics/telemetry schemas, durable data systems, billing,
+  experimentation, or deployment routing. Those belong to separate designs.
+- No change to the APS upstream OpenRTB endpoint contract, including APS's
+  deliberate absence of `nurl` and `burl`.
+- No rewrite of Prebid.js itself or of the decoupled Prebid strategy.
+- No refactor of unrelated integration internals. They receive only the thin
+  registration/bootstrap changes required by the new TSJS runtime, plus any
+  mechanical disposal or adapter injection needed to preserve their baseline
+  behavior.
+
+Existing local render tracing, GPT diagnostics, logging, counters, debug output,
+and telemetry integrations remain functional through the cutover. They may move
+behind the runtime event bus or the final diagnostics namespace, but their
+observable concepts and non-interference guarantees are in scope. Correctness must
+not depend on a new event reaching an external sink. Any new analytics contract
+requires a separate design.
+
+### 0.3 Architectural rules
+
+- Make invalid states unrepresentable where practical and reject them at the
+  boundary otherwise.
+- Every asynchronous operation belongs to a runtime, navigation, auction batch,
+  or render-attempt lifetime and has a deterministic disposer.
+- Every render attempt reaches exactly one terminal result in memory.
+- A timeout cancels or fails only the object it owns; shared work is aborted only
+  when no live child still needs it.
+- Ad-tech globals are accessed only through adapters.
+- Cross-window messages are versioned, exact-shaped, capability-bound, and
+  source/port checked.
+- No correctness path waits for logging, telemetry, notification delivery, or any
+  other side effect unrelated to rendering.
+
+### 0.4 `rc/july` TSJS concept-adoption contract
+
+The exact baseline is the whole observable TSJS system at
+`origin/rc/july@905984e62`, not only the three commits after this design branch's
+merge base. It includes `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/**`, its build and test
+tooling, the TSJS behavior embedded in `gpt_bootstrap.js` and
+`gpt_diagnostics_bootstrap.js`, and the browser tests that exercise those sources.
+The in-spec executable manifest in §0.5 records that tree and commit. If the local
+`origin/rc/july` ref moves, implementation stops before code
+changes, diffs the old and new tips across those paths, and updates this ledger and
+its tests deliberately. A moving branch is never absorbed implicitly.
+
+Each ledger entry has one of these dispositions:
+
+- **Preserve:** retain the observable behavior and its failure semantics.
+- **Rebuild:** retain the outcome but replace the old mechanism with the runtime,
+  adapter, service, or integration module named here.
+- **Supersede:** deliberately replace an old mechanism with a stricter named
+  contract. The ledger must state the behavioral change and prove either that the
+  new owner makes the old compensation unnecessary or that the new terminal
+  failure is complete, bounded, and preferable to a partial second runtime.
+- **Exclude:** keep the existing feature untouched because it is not TSJS work;
+  this disposition cannot be used for a file under the TSJS baseline inventory.
+
+Hard cutover authorizes removal of old mechanisms and names. It does not authorize
+silent loss of a ledger outcome. An observable outcome may change only through an
+explicit **Supersede** entry that names the old and final behavior, gives the
+architectural reason, and has boundary tests for the replacement contract. A source
+deletion is complete only when its ledger entry has a passing replacement contract
+or that explicit supersession proof.

+| `RCJ-CORE-01`     | Core config/context, callback queue, auction parsing, direct request/rendering, SPA generation checks, and shared helpers continue to serve every enabled integration.                                        | **Rebuild:** kernel, services, and composition root; exact behavioral corpus runs before and after the switch.                                                                                                                                                                   |
+| `RCJ-CORE-02`     | Programmatic ad-unit registration can drive direct `/auction`; core also exposes version/queue, placeholder render helpers, mutable generic config, and the local logger.                                     | **Preserve/supersede:** §5.4 defines the exact final API; typed registration/request APIs and immutable config replace placeholders/mutable config; logger methods/default remain, while invalid levels now throw without mutation instead of being retained with warn fallback. |
+| `RCJ-BOOT-01`     | The edge-injected `gpt_bootstrap.js` duplicates initial-load tracking, slot handoff, hydration scheduling, GPT definition/targeting/display/refresh, and can render initial ads without the main TSJS bundle. | **Rebuild/supersede:** the committed runtime owns all normal GPT behavior. Missing/partial bundles intentionally settle through the terminal non-rendering fallback in §5.3; no bootstrap may construct a degraded GPT runtime.                                                  |
+| `RCJ-TRACE-01`    | Render tracing records one honest impression timeline, bounded history, current-slot state, DOM stamps/badges, local overlay, no stale auction attribution, and emits `tsjs:adRendered`.                      | **Rebuild/supersede:** lifecycle diagnostics subscriber and `tsjs.diagnostics.renderTrace`; its subscription replaces the mutable globals and CustomEvent, and no integration writes trace state directly.                                                                       |
+| `RCJ-GPT-01`      | A TS fallback and a later publisher `defineSlot` share one physical GPT slot and one initial request; ownership transfer prevents later TS destruction.                                                       | **Rebuild:** GPT adapter plus slot service handoff record; no integration-owned function sentinels or duplicate wrappers.                                                                                                                                                        |
+| `RCJ-GPT-02`      | Responsive/hydrated slot resolution chooses the unique active placement, recovers DOM replacement, and never silently chooses an ambiguous sibling.                                                           | **Rebuild:** navigation-scoped aliases plus runtime-owned DOM binding/reconciliation.                                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| `RCJ-GPT-03`      | Native publisher GPT calls, service state, SRA, disabled initial load, refresh options, targeting cleanup, and publisher-owned slots retain their native semantics.                                           | **Preserve/Rebuild:** the sole GPT adapter owns interception and event fan-out; publisher activity never becomes TS-owned work.                                                                                                                                                  |
+| `RCJ-GPT-04`      | A TS-owned PUC response may resize only its authenticated still-collapsed ordinary 1×1 GAM shell, never unrelated, anchor, fixed, sticky, or already-expanded frames.                                         | **Preserve/Rebuild:** current render attempt owns one guarded resize after a response is successfully posted.                                                                                                                                                                    |
+| `RCJ-PREBID-01`   | The publisher-specific artifact is pure Prebid.js; the Trusted Server shim is a separate TSJS integration module, and the external bundle remains independently useful if that module fails.                  | **Preserve/Rebuild:** external artifact plus Prebid adapter/integration module; TS code is not vendored into the external Prebid artifact.                                                                                                                                       |
+| `RCJ-PREBID-02`   | Missing, late, duplicate, older, or partial Prebid artifacts fail safely: publisher queues drain, TS refresh handling is not installed without a real API, and installation is idempotent.                    | **Preserve/Rebuild:** artifact watchdog plus release-matched module transaction and bounded readiness queue.                                                                                                                                                                     |
+| `RCJ-PREBID-03`   | Adapter manifests distinguish module names from registered bidder codes/aliases; client-side bidder coverage, user-ID modules, EIDs, native bids, and publisher callbacks keep working.                       | **Preserve:** typed artifact contract and black-box artifact tests; TS-owned bid identities alone are replaced.                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| `RCJ-PREBID-04`   | Configured GAM-path exclusions remove only matching slots from the synthetic Prebid refresh auction while clearing stale TS keys and retaining every slot/options in the GPT refresh.                         | **Preserve/Rebuild:** one refresh policy in the Prebid integration module over the GPT adapter; global, explicit, mixed, all-excluded, and fail-open path cases remain exact.                                                                                                    |

+
+### 0.5 In-spec baseline mapping manifest
+
+To keep this a one-file design, the completeness manifest is embedded here instead
+of creating another repository artifact. The implementation's first contract test
+extracts the `rcjuly-tsjs-manifest-v1` JSON block, enumerates each directory
+`includeRoot` plus every exact mapped file at the pinned commit with `git ls-tree`,
+and requires every enumerated file to match at least one `exact`, `prefix`, or
+`prefixes` mapping. A path receives the union of every matching row. Every
+file under `lib/src` must receive at least one non-`RCJ-QUAL-01` id. A mapping that
+matches no pinned path also fails, preventing stale rows. Moving the baseline runs
+this check before implementation and requires an explicit manifest/ledger update for
+every new, removed, or renamed path.

+## 1. Problem statement and evidence
+
+APS demand is integrated server-side, but APS creatives do not render reliably.
+Four serial fixes—the `bid.meta` carrier, decoupled shim, `hb_adid` fallback, and
+the baseline PUC/collapsed-shell fix—each repaired one edge while leaving other
+independent failure points. The common failure is architectural: identity and
+state are copied across loosely coordinated server, GPT, Prebid, PUC, and iframe
+code, and many failures are swallowed.
+
+The TSJS library has the same structural problem: two large GPT/Prebid modules,
+duplicated ES5 and TypeScript behavior, imports in separately built IIFEs that do
+not share module state, global expandos, multiple GPT wrappers, and asynchronous
+work with no common owner.
+

+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Admission      | A configured mediator can discard direct-provider bids; scripts can be rejected by policy; strict dimensions and APS response validation can drop bids without a useful local reason.             |
+| Identity       | PBS Cache UUID, upstream APS bid id, Prebid `adId`, GAM `hb_adid`, DOM id, and server slot id are different identities and have been conflated. GAM targeting values are capped at 40 characters. |
+| GPT            | `display()` under disabled initial load does not request; event listeners can be installed too late; multiple refresh wrappers and concurrent requests race; SafeFrame obscures frame ancestry.   |
+| Bridge         | A `Prebid Request` can be duplicated, replayed, sent by a wrong frame, or arrive after navigation. A bare bid id is not enough to establish ownership.                                            |
+| Renderer       | The opaque sandbox cannot observe HTTP failure; descriptor validation exists in Rust, TypeScript, and embedded ES5; CSP or runner loading can fail after the iframe loads.                        |
+| Direct auction | One fetch can contain several slots, but current cancellation and result handling are not batch-aware; failures collapse to an empty array.                                                       |
+| Bootstrap      | Server bootstrap and bundle initialization can both believe they own runtime setup; a hung bundle can race the no-bundle fallback.                                                                |
+| Lifecycle      | There is no shared definition of attempt, ownership, supersession, terminal completion, or disposal.                                                                                              |

+
+`accepted` means the path-specific completion authority reported success:
+
+- APS: the sandboxed renderer document accepted the descriptor and the queued APS
+  `prebid/creative/render` event invoked its success callback. APS owns the runner and
+  its promise that it invokes this callback only after committing the nested creative
+  iframe; Trusted Server cannot independently prove that promise for mutable upstream
+  bytes. Loading the runner script alone is not acceptance.
+- Direct ADM/cache: the TS-owned iframe fired its first `load` before timeout.
+- PUC ADM/cache: the TS-authored PUC owner reported its owned iframe's first
+  `load` over the bound owner channel.
+
+It does not claim that pixels were viewable. `slotRenderEnded{isEmpty:false}` is
+evidence that GAM injected a creative, not evidence that APS completed.
+
+`no_bid` is reserved for an explicit, successfully parsed server auction decision
+with no valid winner for that slot. An attributable GPT
+`slotRenderEnded{isEmpty:true}` is
+`failed{reason:'gam_empty'}` so an opt-in fallback can name its exact parent cause.
+Network, timeout, HTTP, parse, descriptor, bridge, and renderer failures are not
+converted to `no_bid`.
+
+Every attempt owns one terminal latch. All competing callbacks, ports, iframe
+events, timers, aborts, and navigation disposal race through that latch. The first
+valid terminal transition wins, disposes attempt resources, and makes every later
+signal inert.
+
+### 2.2 Identity model
+
+The implementation keeps these identities distinct:
+
+| Identity                | Purpose                          | Rules                                                          |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| server slot id          | auction and publisher projection | exact, case-sensitive, 1–256 UTF-8 bytes, no NUL/control       |
+| programmatic slot id    | direct-auction registration      | validated `code`; same bound; exact request/result identity    |
+| DOM/container alias     | locating a page element          | separate collision-detecting index; ambiguous aliases fail     |
+| upstream bid id         | provider provenance              | 1–64 UTF-8 bytes, no NUL/control, unique in provider response  |
+| candidate id            | mediator round-trip              | server-minted opaque 12-character token; never an ordering key |
+| PBS Cache UUID          | cache transport lookup           | preserved byte-for-byte as `cacheId`; never bridge authority   |
+| native Prebid `adId`    | non-TS Prebid renderer lookup    | untouched for native bids; never entered in the TS store       |
+| renderer reservation id | every TS-owned PUC capability    | `r1_` plus 22 base64url characters; exact `hb_adid`/TS `adId`  |
+| attempt id              | in-page lifecycle ownership      | `a1_` plus 22 base64url characters; navigation-unique          |
+| lifecycle ticket        | cross-window capability          | `t1_` plus 22 base64url characters; one-use and attempt-bound  |
+| renderer nonce          | renderer-document capability     | `n1_` plus 22 base64url characters; one-use and attempt-bound  |
+
+Every TS-owned PUC source—APS, inline ADM, or cache—receives a renderer reservation
+id, and that id is copied exactly to GAM `hb_adid`. For the Trusted Server Prebid
+adapter bid, it also replaces the TS bid's generated `adId` before targeting;
+native Prebid bids are untouched. The server creates the id from 16 CSPRNG bytes
+encoded as unpadded base64url and prefixed with `r1_`; it retries a response-local
+collision at most eight times, then fails the bid with
+`identity_generation_failed`. The browser rejects a collision with any live/
+tombstoned reservation as `reservation_collision`. Cache UUID and upstream/provider
+bid id stay inside the tagged render source/provenance and are never fallback bridge
+credentials.
+
+Attempt ids require no unbounded issued-id set. At `NavigationSession` creation the
+browser obtains eight CSPRNG bytes with `crypto.getRandomValues` and keeps one
+unsigned 64-bit attempt ordinal as two 32-bit words. For each new attempt it
+increments the ordinal, concatenates the navigation prefix with the big-endian
+ordinal, base64url-encodes those 16 bytes without padding, and prefixes `a1_`. The
+fixed navigation prefix plus never-reused ordinal guarantees navigation-local
+uniqueness. Prefix-generation failure or ordinal exhaustion refuses the new attempt
+with `identity_generation_failed`; the ordinal never wraps. The active-attempt index
+contains at most one attempt per admitted slot and is therefore capped by
+`MAX_ACTIVE_SLOT_RECORDS = 256`; terminal settlement removes the strong entry, while
+generation plus the nonreused ordinal makes stale callbacks inert without retaining
+old ids.
+
+One runtime-owned capability registry stores lifecycle tickets and their tombstones
+with a shared capacity of 320. Before minting it prunes entries whose fixed
+three-second lifetime has expired; unexpired entries are never evicted. A ticket is
+16 fresh CSPRNG bytes encoded as the fixed `t1_` form and checked against every live/
+tombstoned ticket. A collision retries at most eight total draws, then fails the
+attempt with `identity_generation_failed`. Capacity exhaustion before a successful
+draw refuses the outer PUC response and fails the attempt with
+`capability_registry_full`. Consumption/disposal replaces the live entry with a
+tombstone carrying the same original expiry; it never extends the lifetime.
+
+Renderer nonces use the same eight-draw CSPRNG/collision rule in a separate live
+registry capped at 256, at most one `n1_` value per active attempt. They need no
+tombstone: the exact frame, port, attempt id, and generation remain mandatory, and
+attempt disposal closes the channel and removes the live nonce before any later
+attempt can act. Nonce capacity fails the attempt with `capability_registry_full`;
+collision exhaustion is `identity_generation_failed`. Neither registry falls back
+to timestamps, `Math.random`, truncation, or eviction.
+
+### 2.3 Slot registry and bounded reservations
+
+One runtime-scoped slot service owns the registry:
+
+- `WeakMap<googletag.Slot, SlotRecord>` for GPT object identity;
+- exact registered-slot-id index covering server and programmatic registrations;
+- exact GPT ad-unit-code index;
+- separate DOM alias index that rejects collisions;
+- active render reservation map plus consumed/stale tombstones;
+- request-intent and active-cycle state per slot.
+
+`MAX_ACTIVE_SLOT_RECORDS` is 256 across server-projected and programmatically
+registered records in one `NavigationSession`. The immutable server projection is
+validated against that total before the kernel commits; an oversized projection is
+an `abi_mismatch` boot failure. `addAdUnits` reserves capacity for its whole input
+before mutation and rejects the whole call with
+`AdUnitRegistrationError{code:'registry_capacity'}` when the remaining capacity is
+insufficient. Navigation disposal synchronously removes every record and secondary
+index owned by that navigation; reservations/tombstones retain only their separate
+bounded lifecycle below.
+
+Registration rejects a missing, empty, or greater-than-256-UTF-8-byte server or
+programmatic slot id before indexing and assigns each valid slot a monotonically
+increasing, navigation-local ordinal. An exact registered-slot-id collision is
+rejected rather than overwritten. GPT ad-unit-code and DOM-alias indexes retain
+collision state: a lookup must resolve exactly one record, and zero or multiple
+matches fail `slot_unresolved`; registration order is never used to choose among
+collisions.
+
+The reservation map and tombstones share a capacity of 320. An SSAT/page-bid render
+reservation has a fixed 15-minute lifetime measured by the runtime's monotonic clock
+from browser registration; consumption does not extend it. A Prebid bid awaiting
+client-side selection instead receives a ten-second admission lease. Exact selection
+atomically promotes that lease to a render reservation with a new fixed 15-minute
+lifetime measured from promotion; this occurs before targeting can expose the id and
+is the only expiry replacement. An admission lease is suppress-only and cannot
+satisfy a PUC claim; a request carrying that id before selection is refused,
+tombstones the lease, and records `prebid_contract_violation`. Unselected, aborted,
+or selection-timed-out entries
+become tombstones only through their original ten-second lease expiry. Expired
+entries are pruned.
+Unexpired entries are never evicted because eviction would allow a late creative
+request to escape TS ownership. At capacity, registration fails with
+`registry_full`. A consumed, stale, or disposed reservation remains a tombstone
+until its original expiry and never produces a second response. While live, each
+admission lease or render reservation records its exact slot, render source,
+immutable `WinnerContext{selectedCpm}`, navigation generation, expiry, and state.
+`selectedCpm` is copied from the fully validated selected projected bid and is
+finite and nonnegative. Prebid admission verifies that the frozen bid's `cpm` is
+exactly this stored value, and selection promotion preserves the same context
+rather than reconstructing it from Prebid. A successful PUC claim transfers the
+context into the `RenderAttempt` before replacing the live entry with a tombstone.
+The tombstone discards the render source and winner context and retains only the id,
+original expiry, terminal state, and minimum suppression metadata. Neither the
+descriptor nor any capability contains CPM.
+
+Ids are unique across all live/tombstoned entries, so lookup identifies one entry
+and then requires its exact active slot, cycle, and generation. The first compatible
+PUC claim acquires its source and winner context; a live or tombstoned TS id is
+suppressed before detailed validation.
+
+Direct `/auction` rendering does not round-trip through a PUC reservation. Its exact
+winner join creates the `RenderAttempt` with an immutable
+`WinnerContext{selectedCpm}` copied from that same validated projected winner before
+any rendering or cache fetch. Thus direct and PUC paths have the same CPM authority
+without inventing a bridge capability for direct rendering.
+
+The current `__tsRenderGeneration`, `__tsRenderBid`, and function-sentinel
+expandos are removed.
+
+### 2.4 GPT request-cycle ownership
+
+GPT events describe physical requests and are not promises. The runtime therefore
+tracks request intent separately from physical cycles:
+
+1. A TS operation records an intent before calling `display()` or `refresh()`.
+2. A TS operation never treats `display()` as request-capable while initial load is
+   disabled. It uses `display()` only to register the slot, then invokes exactly one
+   `refresh([slot], {changeCorrelator:false})`; the request intent and three-second
+   start deadline attach only to that refresh. If the adapter cannot invoke refresh
+   or the call throws, the attempt fails `gpt_request_failed`. A publisher-owned
+   `display()` remains publisher activity and starts no TS attempt or fallback.
+3. A physical cycle opens only on `slotRequested` and closes on the corresponding
+   `slotRenderEnded`.
+4. One TS-owned cycle may be outstanding per slot, with at most one queued
+   replacement.
+5. Attribution requires exactly one live compatible intent. Overlap or a later
+   request-capable intent that makes ownership ambiguous fails the affected TS
+   cycle with `cycle_unattributable`; it is never guessed from timing.
+6. `responseIdentifier` deduplicates completion but is not an ownership token.
+7. A cycle is re-armed only by counted completion or safe TS-owned
+   destroy/redefine—never by a timeout or navigation disposal that merely hopes GPT
+   has finished.
+
+`slotRequested` and `slotRenderEnded` listeners are installed unconditionally
+before any TS display/refresh call. SRA opens one logical cycle per participating
+slot. Publisher-initiated GPT activity remains publisher-owned and cannot trigger
+TS fallback.
+
+An operation waiting for GPT or Prebid readiness has its own fixed ten-second
+deadline measured from enqueue and fails `external_ready_timeout`; public
+`requestAds.timeoutMs` never shortens or extends it. After a request-capable
+`display()` or `refresh()` is
+invoked, `slotRequested` must arrive within three seconds or the attempt fails
+`gpt_request_timeout`. Once `slotRequested` arrives, its matching
+`slotRenderEnded` must arrive within ten seconds or the attempt fails
+`gpt_completion_timeout`. A timeout tombstones the reservation, closes owned ports,
+and settles the attempt, but does not pretend the physical GPT cycle completed.
+
+At `gpt_request_timeout`, no attributable physical cycle exists. The adapter
+immediately invokes the transactional TS-owned destroy/redefine contract in §5.7
+and permanently retires the old object. Failure defines no replacement and leaves
+the path quarantined; later TS work fails `gpt_request_failed`. A publisher-owned
+object enters page-lifetime quarantine and cannot
+accept new TS work until the publisher explicitly destroys that object or the page
+reloads; no later `slotRequested` or `slotRenderEnded` may release that quarantine
+because it cannot be attributed to the timed-out invocation. At
+`gpt_completion_timeout`, the already-open exact physical cycle stays retired or
+quarantined until its matching real completion, safe TS-owned destroy/redefine,
+publisher destruction, or reload. Late GPT events only drain an already attributable
+completion-timeout cycle; they cannot revive an attempt, start fallback, or re-arm a
+request-timeout quarantine.
+
+Navigation disposal does not manufacture a GPT completion. If the open slot is
+TS-owned, the adapter invokes the §5.7 transaction; a replacement is defined only
+when the current navigation still needs it and exact destruction succeeded. The
+retired object remains in the runtime `WeakMap` until its late completion drains and
+can never be matched to a replacement. Destroy failure leaves no second object and
+quarantines later TS work. If it is publisher-owned, the physical cycle
+is quarantined: new TS work for that GPT object fails `slot_quarantined` until the
+matching `slotRenderEnded`, publisher destruction, or full page reload. There is no
+timeout-based re-arm. In particular, an old completion after navigation but before
+the replacement's completion settles only the retired/quarantined cycle.
+
+### 2.5 SPA and concurrent work
+
+- `RuntimeSession` survives SPA navigations and owns the global lifetime plus
+  injected adapter/service disposers. Runtime-scoped slot and reservation services
+  own the slot-object map, bridge listener, reservations/tombstones, and physical
+  GPT cycle state; kernel code knows them only through interfaces.
+- `NavigationSession` owns route-specific slot aliases, request intents, auction
+  batches, attempts, timers, targeting history, and one internal immutable current
+  auction-projection snapshot.
+- A new navigation atomically replaces the prior `NavigationSession`; disposal
+  cancels its live attempts and prevents late callbacks from mutating the new one.
+- The initial session seeds its internal projection from the recursively frozen
+  `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection`. A later SPA session begins with no current
+  projection. Its page-bids controller accepts only one exact, fully validated
+  `BrowserAuctionProjectionV1` for the current navigation generation, deep-copies
+  and freezes it, transactionally registers all projected slots against the shared
+  256-slot cap, then commits it to the session. A stale, duplicate, malformed, or
+  over-cap response commits no slot, targeting, bid, or projection and cannot retain
+  the prior navigation's data. Programmatic registrations admitted before that
+  response count against the same transaction. The immutable public boot object is
+  document-generation input and is never rewritten into a mutable current-state
+  carrier.
+- An `AuctionBatch` owns one `/auction` fetch and one child attempt per requested
+  slot. Supersession cancels children individually. The shared fetch is aborted
+  only when every child is terminal, the caller aborts all children, the batch
+  response deadline expires, or navigation disposes.
+- After a parsed response is processed, every still-live child receives the exact
+  server decision for its slot; missing, duplicate, or inconsistent decisions are
+  `invalid_response`, never inferred as `no_bid`.
+
+### 2.6 Fallback
+
+`SlotOperation` owns the public per-slot result and one primary `RenderAttempt`.
+Fallback is opt-in and, when eligible, becomes a second child attempt. It may start
+only after an attributable TS-owned GAM cycle terminates empty. Publisher-owned,
+ambiguous, timed-out, quarantined, or stale cycles never trigger fallback. Each
+child has its own immutable terminal result and local history. The operation
+settles once: with the primary result when no fallback runs, or with the fallback
+child result and `path:'fallback'` after the primary `gam_empty`. A child never
+overwrites its parent or sibling.
+
+## 3. APS wire and server contracts
+
+### 3.1 One descriptor
+
+The only APS render descriptor is:

-### 5.2 Transport, batching, and budgets (limiter-consistent)
-
-- Batches are capped by **both** 64 events **and** 12 KiB encoded
-  payload (headroom under the 16 KiB ingest cap); a flush drains the
-  queue as up to **4 sequential batches**.
-- Cadence: flush every **10 s** and on `visibilitychange`/`pagehide`.
-  Worst-case honest traffic per tab: 6 flushes/min × ≤ 4 batches = ≤ 24
-  requests/min transient, typically ≤ 6.
-- **Budgets derived from that worst case:** client-side trace budget
-  ≤ 8 batches/min sustained (excess coalesces into the next flush);
-  ingest per-address budget **60 req/min, burst 120** (≈ 5 active tabs
-  plus pagehide bursts). The limiter can no longer reject honest
-  steady-state traffic by construction; tests cover sustained
-  single-tab, multi-tab (5), diagnostic pre-upgrade buffer flush, and
-  pagehide bursts.
-- Transport: `fetch(..., {keepalive: true, credentials:
-"same-origin"})`; `pagehide` fallback `sendBeacon(url, new
-Blob([json], {type: "application/json"}))`. Queue bound 256; overflow
-  uses the out-of-band saturating counter + one coalesced
-  `client_queue_overflow` in the next flush (never enqueued into a full
-  queue).
-
-### 5.3 Signed authorizations
-
-**Trace authorization** `v1.<kid>.<exp>.<mode>[.<dexp>].<sig>` (`auth`
-ingest bound 256 bytes; all other strings 64):
-
-- `kid ^[a-z0-9-]{1,16}$`; keys ≥ 256-bit CSPRNG in the secret store;
-  previous keys retained ≥ 24 h; missing key with the feature enabled →
-  loud first-use failure.
-- `exp` canonical decimal; ±60 s skew; ≤ 15 min future. `mode`:
-  `sampled | unsampled | diagnostic | probe`. **`dexp` is present iff
-  `mode = diagnostic`** — the immutable diagnostic ceiling, signed into
-  the token, set at upgrade to the credential's absolute expiry.
-  **Every renewal of a diagnostic token re-derives
-  `exp = min(now + 15 min, dexp)` and preserves `dexp`; past `dexp`,
-  renewal fails** — diagnostic access is bounded by the credential
-  forever, not just at upgrade (closing the indefinite-renewal hole).
-  Tests: renewal-before-expiry capped, repeated renewal to the ceiling.
-- `sig` = unpadded base64url HMAC-SHA-256 over
-  `"ts-trace-auth-v1" || u32be(len(origin)) || origin ||
-u32be(len(trace_id)) || trace_id || u32be(len(mode)) || mode ||
-u64be(exp) [|| u64be(dexp)]`; constant-time compare; per-group

-  carried. **Probe issuance protocol:** the probe runner authenticates
-  to `POST /_ts/admin/probe-authorization` (admin auth + CSRF) and
-  receives a batch of pre-signed probe-mode tokens tagged
-  `probe_run_id`; probe traffic is never sampled out and excluded from
-  product metrics by mode.
-- Renewal: `GET /_ts/trace-auth` presenting the current still-valid

-### 5.4 Ingest and rate limiting
-
-- `POST /_ts/client-events`: `application/json` only; no
-  `Content-Encoding`; `204`, `no-store`; never echoes input. Pre-parse:
-  body ≤ 16 KiB; ≤ 64 events; strings ≤ 64 (`auth` ≤ 256 B);
-  `trace_id ^[0-9a-f]{32}$`; `attempt_id ^[a-z0-9]{8}$`; `auction_id`
-  canonical UUID; integers `[0, 2³¹)`; `t_rel_ms` u32.
-- Same-origin (client-events, trace-auth): `Sec-Fetch-Site:
-same-origin` else normalized `Origin` equality; absent both →
-  drop-and-count.
-- Limiter (per §5.2 budgets): trait `ClientEventLimiter`; Axum real
-  token bucket (60/min, burst 120), map ≤ 65,536; Cloudflare/Spin
-  best-effort ≤ 4,096/instance; TTL 10 min, cleanup on access + sweep;
-  at capacity reject unseen identities (expired always reclaimable);
-  unknown address → shared bucket 6/min; Fastly platform 60 s window at
-  limit 120 (approximation; overshoot bounded only by in-flight
-  concurrency — documented by the synchronized-burst test, no numeric
-  multiple claimed). Limiter unavailable → drop early with `204`.
-  Trusted address per adapter (Fastly platform IP; Axum rightmost XFF
-  after `trusted_proxy_hops`, absent → socket peer; CF
-  `CF-Connecting-IP`; Spin platform). Trace-auth and CSP routes carry
-  their own buckets (10/min, burst 20).
-
-### 5.5 Sinks, canonical views, per-sink authenticated probes
-
-- Event key `(publisher_domain, trace_id, seq)`; canonical views
-  `ts_client_events_v` (dedup) and `ts_render_attempts_v` (**keyed by
-  `attempt_id`**); the arm-union views stamp `deployment_pool` from the
-  write identity (§0). Dashboards/alerts query canonical views only.
-- The Fastly sink is fire-and-forget (`tinybird.rs:153`) —
-  **per-datasource authenticated probes**. **Every probe-capable table
-  carries `{probe_run_id, expected_seq, adapter, target}`** (added to
-  `ts_csp_reports` and `ts_ops_counters` below, not only
-  `ts_client_events`), so loss queries distinguish runs, retries, resets,
-  and adapters. **These four fields are cryptographically bound to the
-  issued probe authorization** — the admin-issued probe token
-  (`POST /_ts/admin/probe-authorization`, §5.3) signs `probe_run_id`,
-  `adapter`, and `target`, and the ingest handler stamps the row from the
-  verified token rather than trusting submitted values. A secret-derived
-  CSP probe `policy_id` is a bearer capability for _routing_ only; it is
-  never treated as proof of authentic run metadata. **Persistence gates
-  are scoped to sink-backed adapters** (DR-5); accept-count-drop adapters
-  get HTTP-parity gates only. Freshness = probe lag ≤ 5 min; loss =
-  `expected_seq` gaps < 0.1%; alert owner: release owner's on-call.
-- **Alert-delivery drill:** a synthetic canary page injects a known
-  failure class at a known rate; the failure-detection alert must fire
-  within one hour — dashboards and alert latency are tested, not
-  assumed (Appendix A row).
-
-### 5.6 Physical schemas (deployed before writers)

-    the response-level `missing_request_context`, whose totals/error-row
-    disposition is `row_kind = totals` with a null slot) and
-    `formats.rs:408-419`. `currency_mismatch` and `unsupported_currency`
-    are **distinct** (config-vs-response mismatch vs an unsupported

-### 5.7 Modes and SLIs
-
-Production (sink-backed): deterministic sampling (0.10). SLIs: pipeline
-availability (per-sink authenticated probe freshness ≤ 5 min, loss
-< 0.1%); failure detection (≥ 1% of sampled render attempts visible
-within one hour at ≥ 10,000/hour) — **verified by the injected-failure
-alert drill**, not only by probe persistence. Diagnostic:
-credential-gated, `dexp`-bounded, unsampled, full stream + console
-mirroring + debug envelopes.
-
-### 5.8 Server-side drop surfacing
-
-Bounded structured summary whenever any bid is dropped; `bid_drop` +
-`selection_summary` rows; `ts-debug` comment; tester-gated structured
-`debug` on page-bids and `/auction`. Startup warnings: APS +
-`allow_script_creatives = false`; mediator + direct providers without
-explicit `winner_selection`.
-
-## 6. APS delivery fixes
-
-### 6.1 Mediation
-
-Seven rules, arrival-independent, one shared helper across both
-lifecycles: (1) required `[auction].currency` (APS + non-USD = startup
-error; Prebid validates at parse, `prebid.rs:2433`); (2) candidate
-identity `source_candidate_id = (provider_name, upstream_bid_id)` with
-the upstream id **required, ≤ 64 chars, unique** — missing/duplicate/
-oversized → `bid_drop{missing_bid_id | duplicate_bid_id |
-bid_id_too_large}`, **no fingerprint fallback**; `candidate_id` is a
-server-minted 12-char `^[a-z0-9]{12}$` CSPRNG wire echo with in-auction
-collision retry, **never an ordering key**, and the mediator's echoed
-value is validated against the issued set on return (an echo matching no
-issued id is `provenance_invalid`); (3) mediator echoes
-`ext.trusted_server.candidate_id` — resolves → forwarded candidate,
-provenance `mediator`, **price authoritative from the mediator, every
-render-source and notification field from the stored candidate, deal
-fields out of scope**; any render-source difference → mediator-native;
-unresolvable echo → discarded + counted (`provenance_invalid`),
-mediator-native and direct candidates stay eligible; (4) floors both
-populations, echoes dedup twins; (5) **total order** decoded CPM desc →
-provenance rank (mediator first) → `source_candidate_id` asc; (6)
-required `winner_selection` (`mediator_only`: timeout → no winners
-unless `mediator_timeout_fallback = "direct"`; `merge_highest_cpm`:
-timeout → direct-only); (7) `selection_summary` reporting.
-
-### 6.2 Dimensions
-
-Exact membership (`aps.rs:675`); structured `bid_drop{invalid_dimensions,
-w, h}`; "request the sizes you accept."
-
-### 6.3 Script creatives
-
-Default `false`, loud (§5.8); **DR-2 is a deployment decision** (enable
-with security approval, or accept a quantified excluded share and gate
-Phase 3 on it).
-
-### 6.4 / 6.5
-
-Render identity per G2; fallback per G4e (child attempt).
-
-### 6.6 Renderer endpoint
-
-Unconditional route in every adapter (provider stays config-gated);
-startup auth-pattern validation; `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1`
-embedded, served `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` with a
-checked-in per-version header manifest (headers frozen with bytes);
-canary versions `no-store`; unknown version 404 `no-store`;
-three-message ack (G4b-1); aggregate route counters in
-`ts_ops_counters`; CSP rollout three instruments (enforced discovery /
-report-only tightening / enforced-cohort relaxation on a short-lived
-canary version, gated on runner acceptance, violation rate, render
-failure, with a kill switch); **policy identity in the server-selected
-`policy_id` path** (also the release/cohort carrier, §0); bucketed
-aggregation only with the §5.6 caps; never a sole rollback signal;
-three-browser capture (`playwright.config.ts:16`).
-
-### 6.7 One descriptor schema
-
-Tagged `BidRenderer` envelope (`types.rs:188-211`); wire-schema
-crate/xtask (no core↔js cycle, `Cargo.toml:45`) generates JSON-Schema,
-TS parser, ES5 inline fragment, the §5.1 validity matrix, and fixtures;
-staleness CI; semantic validators handwritten; outer tolerance only;
-exact AAX projection; shared positive + adversarial corpus through all
-three validators.
-
-### 6.8 Bridge hardening
-
-Order (normative — preserving the baseline stolen-capability defense,
-`gpt/index.ts:1584-1637`, **plus the read-only lookup the altered-id
-signal needs**):
-
-1. parse `e.data` (bare catch → return);
-2. **read-only source→active-slot lookup for every Prebid Request** — if
-   the resolved slot expects a different ad id, emit
-   `bridge_request{matched: false}` (the B1 signal) **without responding
-   and without suppressing native Prebid** (a truncated `hb_adid` is not
-   TS-reserved, so suppression would be wrong and the old order could
-   never produce the signal);
-3. identify a TS-reserved ad id (live registry or tombstone, G2);
-4. if TS-reserved: `stopImmediatePropagation()` before validation;
-5. validate source ownership (known slot-root `WindowProxy` map;
-   sender's parent chain to depth 5; never scanning the frame tree);
-6. validate nonce, token, `nav_gen`, `refresh_gen` (G4b);
-7. respond, or refuse with `bridge_id_mismatch`.
-
-Non-TS ids are otherwise untouched. Stolen-token test: neither TS nor
-native Prebid responds. Listener order: real-browser assertion.
-
-## 7. TSJS target architecture
-
-### 7.1 Layering
+`BidRenderSourceV1` is the only browser render-source union. A selected internal
+Rust `Bid` carries exactly one corresponding enum member; separate optional
+creative, renderer, and cache fields are removed. APS markup is not smuggled
+through `adm`, `meta`, or debug fields. Each tagged object rejects unknown keys.
+Limits are defined once and shared by the Rust producer, TypeScript parser, and
+embedded renderer validator:
+
+- nonempty `accountId` and optional nonempty `creativeId`, each at most 1,024
+  UTF-8 bytes;
+- nonempty `bidId` of at most 64 UTF-8 bytes;
+- numeric, finite, integral `width` and `height`, each in the inclusive shared
+  `RENDER_DIMENSION_MIN = 1` through `RENDER_DIMENSION_MAX = 4096` CSS-pixel range;
+- `creativeUrl` at most 4,096 UTF-8 bytes, HTTPS, no credentials, and not the
+  publisher origin;
+- canonical standard-base64 `aaxResponse`, decoded size at most 256 KiB;
+- exactly one decoded seat and one decoded bid;
+- decoded bid id, dimensions, `creativeurl`, and `tagtype` exactly match the
+  duplicated descriptor fields;
+- finite, nonnegative decoded price.
+
+A checked-in schema/corpus is the cross-language conformance source. Rust,
+TypeScript, and the ES5 renderer validator run the same positive and adversarial
+vectors. CI fails when generated ES5/schema output is stale. Semantic validation
+that cannot be represented in JSON Schema remains in small handwritten validators
+covered by the same corpus.
+
+For `adm`, markup is nonempty and at most 512 KiB. For `cache`, `cacheId` is the
+exact validated PBS Cache UUID. When cache rendering is enabled, the server emits
+one trusted `CacheFetchPolicyV1` at `tsjs.boot.cachePolicy` before core; `baseUrl` is
+the same immutable configuration snapshot used for auction projection and is an
+absolute HTTPS URL of at most 4,096 UTF-8 bytes with a host and fixed nonempty path
+but no credentials, query, or fragment. Core validates and freezes it before any
+integration module prepares. A cache source without a valid boot policy is `descriptor_invalid`
+and is never fetched.
+
+`fetchUrl` is constructed server-side from that exact base URL, is at most 4,096
+UTF-8 bytes, and has exactly one query parameter,
+`uuid=<percent-encoded cacheId>`; it has no credentials, fragment, or other query
+parameter. The browser parses both values and requires exact origin,
+port, and pathname equality with the frozen base, empty username/password/hash,
+exactly one `uuid`, decoded UUID equality with `cacheId`, and canonical search text
+`?uuid=${encodeURIComponent(cacheId)}`. It then fetches with `redirect:'error'`,
+`credentials:'omit'`, and `referrerPolicy:'no-referrer'`, enforces CORS, a
+five-second deadline, a 512 KiB body limit, successful HTTP status, and a JSON
+object response. The response requires an own, nonempty `adm` string of at most
+512 KiB. Optional `w` and `h` must occur together as integral numbers within the
+same 1–4096 range and must equal the source dimensions. Optional `price` must be a
+finite nonnegative number but is never rendering authority. Other OpenRTB bid keys
+are allowed and ignored; raw markup bodies, arrays/primitives, `width`/`height`
+aliases, accessors, and alternate wrapper shapes are rejected. The response need
+not echo `cacheId` because the exact request URL is its transport binding.
+`${AUCTION_PRICE}` in the ADM is expanded only as
+`String(attempt.winnerContext.selectedCpm)` from the context transferred by the
+consumed reservation or installed by exact direct-winner admission, never from the
+cached response's `price`, current projection, targeting, or a later winner. Only
+the exact token is replaced;
+`${AUCTION_PRICE:B64}` remains untouched. The resulting ADM enters the direct ADM
+lifecycle.
+Transport, status, or shape failure is respectively `cache_network_error`,
+`cache_http_error`, or `cache_invalid_response`; none becomes `no_bid`.
+
+### 3.2 Per-slot auction decisions
+
+Every server auction entry point produces exactly one decision for every requested
+slot, in request order:
+
+```ts
+type AuctionSlotFailureReason =
+  | 'auction_disabled'
+  | 'consent_denied'
+  | 'slot_not_eligible'
+  | 'provider_timeout'
+  | 'provider_error'
+  | 'invalid_provider_response'
+  | 'mediation_failed'
+  | 'winner_not_renderable'
+  | 'identity_generation_failed'
+  | 'internal_error'
+
+type SlotAuctionDecisionV1 =
+  | { slot: string; outcome: 'winner'; candidateId: string }
+  | { slot: string; outcome: 'no_bid' }
+  | { slot: string; outcome: 'failed'; reason: AuctionSlotFailureReason }
+
+interface AuctionDecisionSetV1 {
+  version: 1
+  auctionId: string
+  results: SlotAuctionDecisionV1[]
+}
+
+interface BrowserAuctionProjectionV1 {
+  version: 1
+  auction: AuctionDecisionSetV1
+  bids: Array<{
+    candidateId: string
+    slot: string
+    provider: string
+    upstreamBidId: string
+    cpm: number
+    currency: 'USD'
+    targeting: Record<string, string>
+    rendererReservationId: string
+    renderSource: BidRenderSourceV1
+  }>
+}
+```
 
+`BrowserAuctionProjectionV1` is exact, deny-unknown, and bounded before any slot,
+reservation, targeting, or bid mutation. Its canonical UTF-8 JSON is at most
+`MAX_BROWSER_AUCTION_PROJECTION_BYTES = 8 * 1024 * 1024`; `auction.results` and
+`bids` each contain at most 256 entries; and all objects are plain own-data objects
+with no accessors. Canonical serialization uses the interface field order shown,
+request order for results, matching result order for bids, lexically sorted targeting
+keys, and no insignificant whitespace. `auctionId` matches
+`^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}$`; candidate ids use
+the exact 12-character base64url form from §3.4 and are unique; result slots are
+unique, follow the §2.2 bound, and contain no NUL or ASCII control; every winner has
+exactly one bid with the same slot/candidate and non-winners have none;
+`rendererReservationId` uses the exact unique `r1_` form from §2.2; provider matches
+`^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,63}$`; and upstream bid ids are 1–64 UTF-8 bytes with
+no NUL or ASCII control. CPM is a finite nonnegative number and currency is exactly
+`USD`.
+
+Each bid's `targeting` member is a plain own-data object with at most 32 entries. A key
+matches `^[A-Za-z0-9_]{1,20}$`, is unique and case-sensitive, and cannot be
+`hb_adid`, which the runtime alone synthesizes from the reservation. A value is
+nonempty, contains at most 40 Unicode scalar values and 160 UTF-8 bytes, and contains
+no NUL or ASCII control. The producer applies the same rules. A winning candidate
+that cannot be projected becomes `winner_not_renderable`.
+
+Aggregate overflow has one exact server outcome. The producer first constructs and
+measures the complete canonical projection. If it exceeds 8 MiB, it transactionally
+converts every `winner` result in that auction to
+`failed{reason:'winner_not_renderable'}`, emits no projected winner bids, and retains
+the existing no-bid/failed results in request order. For `/auction`, the corresponding
+TS winner bids are likewise absent from `seatbid`; no unmatched decision or bid is
+emitted. The reduced projection is guaranteed to fit from the 256-result/id bounds.
+Initial HTML, page-bids, and direct response production use this same all-winners
+rule, never a completion-order or first-fit subset. Boot rejects any independently
+malformed or oversized value as `abi_mismatch`; page-bids and direct response
+admission reject it transactionally as `invalid_response` with no partial slot,
+reservation, targeting, or bid state.
+
+Wrong type, nonfinite, fractional, zero, or negative render dimensions are
+`invalid_dimensions`; an otherwise integral dimension outside 1–4096 is
+`dimensions_out_of_range`. This exact distinction and range apply in the Rust
+producer, TypeScript projection/source parser, ES5 APS renderer validator,
+programmatic banner sizes, cache `w`/`h`, PUC/renderer DOM construction, and every
+CSS/attribute layout assertion. No adapter may clamp an accepted dimension.
+
+Each provider response is normalized internally to exactly one
+`ProviderSlotOutcome`—candidate, no-bid, or typed failure—for every slot dispatched
+to that provider. A successful response that omits a dispatched slot is a provider
+no-bid; launch, transport, timeout, HTTP, parsing, validation, and mediation errors
+are failures for the affected dispatched slots. Final aggregation is deterministic:
+
+1. Pre-dispatch gating returns `auction_disabled`, `consent_denied`, or
+   `slot_not_eligible` directly. A slot with zero eligible providers is exactly
+   `failed{reason:'slot_not_eligible'}`, never a no-bid. Provider currency rejection
+   is `invalid_provider_response`; there is no separate render-layer currency reason.
+2. A selected deliverable candidate is `winner`, even if another provider failed.
+3. Failure to mint a unique renderer reservation for the selected candidate is
+   `failed{reason:'identity_generation_failed'}`. Any other failure to validate or
+   project the selected candidate is `failed{reason:'winner_not_renderable'}`.
+4. With no winner, the slot is `no_bid` only when at least one provider was
+   dispatched and every eligible/dispatched provider
+   completed successfully with no candidate.
+5. With no winner and any provider or mediation failure, the slot is `failed` with
+   the first applicable reason in this closed priority order: `internal_error`,
+   `mediation_failed`, `invalid_provider_response`, `provider_error`,
+   `provider_timeout`, `consent_denied`, `auction_disabled`, `slot_not_eligible`.
+   `winner_not_renderable` and `identity_generation_failed` are selected directly by
+   rule 3 and do not participate in multi-provider priority. Completion order is
+   irrelevant.
+
+`/auction` keeps ordinary OpenRTB winners in `seatbid` and places the decision set
+at `ext.trusted_server.slot_results`. Every TS winner bid has this exact nested
+extension; unknown keys inside `trusted_server` are invalid:
+
+```ts
+interface TrustedServerOpenRtbBidExtV1 {
+  candidate_id: string
+  slot_id: string
+  render_source: BidRenderSourceV1
+}
 ```
-kernel/          boot, config, queue, event bus, log, beacon, sessions
-adapters/        googletag.ts, pbjs.ts, messaging.ts   ← only access to external ad-tech globals
-services/        slots (registry+handoff), auction client, render engine, consent
-integrations/    gpt, prebid, aps, creative, datadome, …
+
+The bid's standard `id` is the server-minted renderer reservation id from §2.2;
+the provider's upstream id remains provenance and, for APS, the descriptor's
+`bidId`. The bid's standard `impid` must equal the request impression id mapped to
+`slot_id`. A winner decision joins by exact `slot`, `candidateId`, `impid`, and
+`slot_id` to exactly one bid. A no-bid or failed decision joins none. Missing,
+duplicate, extra, or mismatched joins make the entire response invalid to TSJS.
+TSJS renders only `render_source`; it never infers a source from standard OpenRTB
+fields. If a bid also carries standard `adm`, it is permitted only for an ADM source
+and must equal `render_source.adm` byte-for-byte; an `adm` on APS/cache or a mismatch
+is invalid. `/_ts/page-bids` returns `BrowserAuctionProjectionV1`, and initial HTML
+stores that same value at `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection`. They do not carry a second
+legacy `{slots,bids}` interpretation. The deprecated `/__ts/page-bids` endpoint and
+its JS fallback are deleted at cutover.
+
+### 3.3 APS response admission
+
+APS response handling is deterministic and reports typed local drop reasons:
+
+- upstream bid id is required, bounded to 64 UTF-8 bytes, and unique within the
+  provider response;
+- malformed `contextual`, missing `creativeurl`, invalid tag type, invalid URL,
+  invalid dimensions, disallowed script, and malformed price are rejected per bid
+  where safe; one bad bid does not discard unrelated valid bids;
+- dimensions must exactly match one requested size; values are never clamped;
+- script creatives remain default-off and require an explicit security-approved
+  setting; iframe creatives remain supported by default;
+- the validated AAX projection used in `aaxResponse` is derived from the accepted
+  bid, not re-parsed from a later lossy structure.
+
+Drop reasons must remain visible in the existing debug/log surfaces for all auction
+entry points. This is not a new external telemetry contract.
+
+APS configuration accepts only canonical `account_id`; the `pub_id` deserialization
+alias and its integer coercion are deleted at the hard cutover.
+
+### 3.4 Mediation provenance
+
+This work preserves the configured mediator's existing candidate selection and
+timeout fallback behavior. It changes only the unsafe reconstruction boundary for
+renderer-bearing source candidates:
+
+1. Candidate provenance is `(provider_name, upstream_bid_id)`. Missing, duplicate,
+   or oversized upstream ids are rejected.
+2. Every candidate receives a response-unique, opaque, server-minted 12-character
+   base64url `candidate_id` from 9 CSPRNG bytes. Generation retries a
+   response-local collision at most eight times, then fails the affected slot with
+   `internal_error`; the id is never an ordering key.
+3. The mediation request carries it only at
+   `ext.trusted_server.candidate_id`. A mediator-selected source candidate must echo
+   exactly one known id. Missing, unknown, or duplicate echoes are
+   `mediation_failed` and cannot borrow render data from another candidate.
+4. The resolved candidate takes only the mediator-selected price and existing
+   selection metadata from the mediator. Provider, upstream id, render source,
+   dimensions, currency, and notifications come from the stored source candidate.
+   Mediator-native render sources are rejected as out of scope.
+5. Direct no-mediator selection keeps the repository's current highest-CPM rule;
+   an exact CPM tie is resolved deterministically by provider name and upstream bid
+   id. An APS bid explicitly declaring a non-USD currency is invalid. This design
+   adds no auction currency or winner-selection configuration requirement.
+
+### 3.5 Publisher projection and GAM targeting
+
+The publisher bid projection carries `renderSource: BidRenderSourceV1` intact on
+every path, plus the exact `candidateId` and `rendererReservationId`. Initial HTML
+stores the document-generation input at
+`tsjs.boot.auctionProjection: BrowserAuctionProjectionV1`. The initial
+`NavigationSession` seeds its internal current projection from that immutable boot
+value; an SPA page-bids response replaces only the new session's internal projection
+through the transaction in §2.5. It never mutates `tsjs.boot`. A winner decision
+must join exactly one projected bid and a no-bid/failed decision must join none.
+Targeting applies one identity rule from §2.2 and never truncates a value to fit GAM.
+If the chosen value cannot satisfy the 40-character targeting limit, the bid is
+rejected before targeting with an explicit local reason.
+
+Targeting cleanup is owner-and-value checked, not value-only. One runtime-owned
+journal stack per physical GPT slot and targeting key records an internal owner id,
+the exact installed string, and the predecessor value/owner for every TS write.
+The sole GPT adapter observes each live slot's `setTargeting` and `clearTargeting`
+calls and uses a closure-private reentrancy marker for TS-originated writes. Before
+forwarding any publisher-originated mutation it invalidates the affected key's TS
+restoration chain—or every chain for clear-all—regardless of whether the publisher
+writes the same string. This bookkeeping never changes the publisher call's
+arguments, return, throw, or order.
+Before a write, a mismatch between the actual GPT value and the current TS frame
+means publisher code changed the key; the runtime drops its restoration chain and
+preserves that publisher value. Otherwise the new attempt pushes a distinct owner
+frame before setting the value, even when its string equals the predecessor's.
+
+Supersession, empty render, terminal failure, and navigation disposal mutate GPT
+only when the disposing frame is current owner and the actual string still equals
+its installed string. A current provisional frame then restores its immediate live
+predecessor, or the original publisher value/absence. Disposing an older frame below
+a newer owner performs no GPT write and rebases the successor to the removed frame's
+predecessor. Acceptance promotes the new attempt's frames into its
+`CommittedRenderArtifact`; disposal of the prior accepted artifact uses that same
+non-top rebase. Thus two generations installing an identical string remain distinct:
+newer success cannot be cleared by older disposal, newer failure can reveal the
+still-live older value, and a publisher mutation is never overwritten.
+
+Publishing a TS-owned PUC bid is one ordered transaction. The browser first
+validates the winner, tagged source, slot join, and server-minted reservation id and
+prepares all targeting/bid objects without exposing them. It then inserts the
+reservation as live in the bounded store. Store capacity or collision therefore
+fails before a creative can observe the id.
+
+For SSAT/page-bids, only after successful insertion may it expose that same id as
+GAM `hb_adid`, publish other targeting, record GPT intent, and invoke a
+request-capable GPT operation—in that order. Any failure before request invocation
+tombstones the reservation, compare-restores targeting, and settles the attempt.
+
+For the Trusted Server Prebid adapter, the supported artifact is the content-addressed
+external bundle built from exactly lockfile-resolved Prebid.js 10.26.0. The external
+artifact contains no Trusted Server auction, admission, render, or refresh behavior.
+The TS-owned `PrebidAdapter` exposes one internal version-pinned
+`admitTrustedBid(preparedBid)` boundary:
+
+```ts
+interface PreparedTrustedBid {
+  readonly auctionId: string
+  readonly adUnitCode: string
+  readonly bid: Readonly<{
+    requestId: string
+    adId: string
+    cpm: number
+    width: number
+    height: number
+    ad: ''
+    ttl: 300
+    creativeId: string
+    netRevenue: true
+    currency: 'USD'
+    bidderCode: string
+    meta: Readonly<{
+      advertiserDomains: readonly string[]
+      tsAuctionId: string
+      tsBidId: string
+      tsAdmHash?: string
+    }>
+  }>
+}
+
+interface PrebidAdapter {
+  admitTrustedBid(
+    preparedBid: Readonly<PreparedTrustedBid>
+  ): 'admitted' | 'not_admitted'
+}

-
-### 7.11 Toolchain
-
-TypeScript floor to the resolved 5.9 line; release-gating flags
-`strict`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
-`verbatimModuleSyntax`, `noImplicitOverride`,
-`useUnknownInCatchVariables`. The gate is a **checked-in package.json
-script**, `"typecheck": "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit"`, invoked so the
-lockfile-resolved compiler is used:
+All strings and numbers already satisfy their canonical auction/projection bounds;
+`adId` is the exact admitted `r1_` reservation, and no renderer descriptor, ADM, cache
+coordinate, or other capability crosses this boundary. The empty `ad` is deliberate:
+the TS bridge resolves the already-stored tagged render source only after the PUC
+claim. The adapter owns the bound Prebid object, registered `trustedServer` bidder
+adapter, and the exact 10.26.0 response-admission callback; neither the external
+artifact stamp nor publisher code exposes this method.
+
+All validation, reservation insertion, exact replacement of the TS bid's `adId`, and
+frozen bid-object construction complete before the call; no targeting or other
+publisher-visible mutation precedes it. The boundary returns exactly
+`admitted | not_admitted`, and the 10.26.0 artifact fixture proves `not_admitted`
+leaves no bid/event/targeting state. `not_admitted` tombstones the reservation and settles
+`failed{reason:'prebid_admission_failed'}`. A throw settles the same failure; detected
+partial publication tombstones the id, suppresses every later PUC request, settles
+`failed{reason:'prebid_contract_violation'}`, and fails the artifact-conformance
+gate. Runtime handling is fail-closed even though the same violation blocks future
+release. A Prebid version change requires a reviewed contract-fixture update.
+
+`admitted` moves the reservation into an `awaiting_prebid_selection` state; it does
+not create a render attempt or transfer permanent ownership. The Prebid adapter's
+early synchronous `auctionEnd` listener uses the supported artifact's exact
+auction-id/ad-unit winner query before publisher targeting callbacks. It promotes
+only the exact selected TS `adId` to a render attempt and atomically tombstones every
+other TS reservation admitted for that auction/ad unit as unselected. A ten-second
+watchdog from admission performs the same tombstoning and records
+`prebid_selection_timeout` if no matching `auctionEnd` arrives. Navigation or auction
+abort tombstones the whole admitted set immediately. Subsequent GPT/render failure
+follows the normal terminal lifecycle for the selected reservation. A fast Universal
+Creative request can never race ahead of reservation lookup, and a losing bid cannot
+hold capacity until the 15-minute tombstone expiry as a live entry.
+
+### 3.6 Static renderer and APS runner proxy endpoints
+
+`/integrations/aps/renderer/v1` and `/integrations/aps/runner.js` are always-reserved
+Trusted Server routes. When APS is enabled, `GET` returns the local static renderer
+or proxies the APS-hosted creative runner respectively. When APS is disabled, `GET`
+returns a local `404 no-store`; neither route ever falls through to a publisher
+origin. The family is dispatched before publisher auth, EC, and generic integration
+filters. All adapters expose the same method, routing, security-header, and failure
+semantics. Unsupported methods return local `405` with `Allow: GET`; unknown
+renderer versions and the abandoned `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` shape return a
+local `404 no-store`.
+
+The renderer v1 body and headers are immutable and served with a long-lived immutable
+cache policy; a renderer-body or CSP semantic change requires a new renderer route
+version. The document is static and contains no descriptor data. Its iframe
+`sandbox` attribute and response CSP `sandbox` directive contain exactly this token
+set, serialized in this order:
+
+```text
+allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+They omit `allow-same-origin`, `allow-top-navigation`, downloads, modals,
+presentation, orientation lock, and storage-access escape. The exact renderer v1 CSP
+header is:
+
+```text
+default-src 'none'; sandbox allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation; base-uri 'none'; object-src 'none'; script-src 'unsafe-inline' 'self' https:; connect-src https:; frame-src https: data: blob:; img-src https: data: blob:; media-src https: data: blob:; style-src 'unsafe-inline' https:; font-src https: data:; worker-src https: blob:; form-action https:;
+```
+
+The broad HTTPS resource directives are confined below the opaque outer sandbox and
+are required for APS and bidder resources; `'self'` permits the local runner proxy in
+HTTP-based hermetic adapters as well as production HTTPS. The response also has
+exactly `Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8`,
+`Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`,
+`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`. It deliberately
+omits both `X-Frame-Options` and a CSP `frame-ancestors` directive so publisher and GAM
+creative ancestors can embed it; the iframe/CSP sandbox, nonce, source-bound port,
+and descriptor validation are the embedding boundary. It does not forward publisher
+credentials or authorization in TS-owned fetches. Runner-created APS creative
+resources may use APS-origin cookies under ordinary browser policy. No cookie is
+authority. Any header or CSP change requires renderer v2; policy reporting is a
+separate observability design.
+
+The runner endpoint is a thin runtime transport proxy, not an artifact store. Its
+only upstream is the fixed APS URL
+`https://client.aps.amazon-adsystem.com/prebid-creative.js`; no request field,
+configuration value, query parameter, or header can select another target. Trusted
+Server issues a credential-free, referrer-free `GET`, does not forward browser
+cookies, authorization, client IP, or publisher headers, requests
+`Accept-Encoding: identity`, and disables redirect following in the platform client.
+
+The platform HTTP abstraction exposes an internal `ProxyResponseEvidenceV1` policy
+used only by this route. It preserves upstream status and security-relevant evidence
+for every occurrence of `Content-Type`, `Content-Encoding`, and `Content-Length`
+before the generic proxy removes headers or consumes the body. An adapter that
+exposes duplicate fields separately returns every raw value. An adapter runtime that
+combines duplicates may return its exact combined value only when the combination is
+visible and cannot be mistaken for a valid singleton; the closed grammars below
+reject any comma/list form for all three headers. It is forbidden to split a combined
+value or normalize it into an apparently valid singleton. All other upstream headers
+are irrelevant because the successful response drops them.
+
+The policy requests identity encoding, prevents redirect following, and returns the
+identity body as a bounded stream or bounded buffer without transforming bytes.
+Cloudflare inspects the initial Workers `Headers` values before the generic adapter
+strips encoding/length; concatenated duplicate values remain combined and therefore
+fail the singleton grammars. If the runtime erases encoding evidence or decodes a
+non-identity response without exposing that fact, the evidence is `unavailable` and
+the proxy rejects it. Fastly and Axum apply the same evidence/no-decompression
+contract. No adapter may reconstruct erased evidence.
+
+The entire upstream operation—from dispatch through the final response-body byte—has
+a five-second monotonic deadline. Deadline expiry cancels the platform pending
+request, discards every collected byte, and makes any unavoidable late platform
+continuation self-discard without constructing a response. It returns the same local
+failure as any other proxy error and cannot outlive the ten-second APS-completion
+deadline. Spin does not use its current eager `spin_sdk::http::send` path for this
+policy: it calls the WASI HTTP outgoing handler with supported request options and
+polls the response/body stream against a monotonic-clock pollable for the total
+deadline. Failure to set the transport timeouts or cancel/drop the pending resources
+is `unavailable` evidence and prevents APS from being enabled on that build.
+
+The proxy accepts only status `200`. `Content-Encoding` must be absent or exactly one
+case-insensitive `identity` token; lists and every other coding are rejected. Exactly
+one parseable `Content-Type` header is required. Its case-insensitive essence must be
+`application/javascript` or `text/javascript`, with either no parameters or only one
+case-insensitive `charset=utf-8` parameter; duplicate or unknown parameters and every
+other media type or charset are rejected. The exact body cap is
+`APS_RUNNER_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES = 8 MiB` on every adapter. If exactly one canonical
+decimal `Content-Length` matching `^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$` is present, it is rejected
+before collection when above the cap and must equal the final identity-body byte
+count. Missing length is allowed; duplicate, malformed, mismatched, or conflicting
+values fail. Collection stops and cancels the request as soon as streamed or buffered
+bytes exceed the cap. The complete body must decode as UTF-8 without replacement;
+validation never transforms the bytes.
+
+A successful response relays the upstream body bytes unchanged while replacing
+transport headers with
+`Content-Type: application/javascript; charset=utf-8`,
+`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`,
+`Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: cross-origin`,
+`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`. Upstream
+cookies and all other response headers are dropped. Upstream fetch, status, media
+type, content encoding, redirect, length, size, or deadline failure returns a local
+empty `502 no-store`; vendor bodies are never exposed in logs or error responses.
+The adversarial parity corpus executes through each real adapter transport, including
+Cloudflare and Spin wasm, rather than injecting already-normalized core responses. An
+adapter that cannot preserve the raw evidence, common cap, or total deadline cannot
+enable APS and blocks the release.
+
+No APS runner bytes, digest, vendor-version record, redistribution license, update
+script, generated artifact, or offline fallback is stored in Trusted Server source or
+release artifacts. This design does not define runner caching behavior. The runner
+route is intentionally unversioned because it represents a live APS-owned dependency,
+not immutable TS-owned bytes.
+
+Proxying does not make the runner trusted TS code or prove that it rendered. APS
+remains the runtime owner of those executable bytes and its resolve/reject semantics
+are a narrow external trust dependency. The outer opaque iframe, validated
+descriptor, one-shot lifecycle port, and completion deadline contain execution and
+reject missing, late, or misbound signals; they cannot determine whether APS told the
+truth when it invoked `resolve`. The proxy never rewrites, inspects, or repairs the
+JavaScript body.
+
+The renderer accepts one parent-provided, nonce-bound descriptor plus the publisher
+origin captured by the kernel before iframe creation. Because its opaque origin has
+`location.origin === "null"`, it validates the supplied origin's shape and uses it
+only to repeat the descriptor's not-publisher-origin check. It clears the nonce from
+its URL and implements the TS side of `ApsRunnerContractV1`. Before runner load, it
+creates a one-shot Promise and queues exactly:
+
+```ts
+new CustomEvent('prebid/creative/render', {
+  detail: {
+    aaxResponse: renderer.aaxResponse,
+    seatBidId: renderer.bidId,
+    source: 'internal',
+    resolve,
+    reject,
+  },
+})
+```
 
+`resolve` and `reject` are the Promise's one-shot functions and are the only
+non-serializable fields. The renderer resolves `/integrations/aps/runner.js` against
+its own absolute Trusted Server document URL and loads only that route. It creates the
+script with `crossOrigin='anonymous'` and `referrerPolicy='no-referrer'`; it does not
+set SRI because the proxy relays a live APS-owned artifact rather than immutable
+TS-owned bytes. Under the APS conformance contract, the runner consumes the queued
+event and promises to call `resolve` only after its asynchronous handler commits the
+nested creative iframe, and to call `reject` for validation, load, or render failure.
+Promise resolution sends one completed result; rejection, proxy/CORS error, runner
+error, or script-load error sends one failed result over the transferred lifecycle
+port. Runner `load` is intermediate progress only. The static renderer owns no APS
+completion timer. Proxy/CORS/script-load failure maps to `runner_no_load`; callback
+rejection maps to `runner_failed`.
+
+A locally authored fictional fixture implements the exact proxy and
+queue/resolve/reject behavior; it is not a copy, transformation, or derivative of the
+APS body. Real-GAM tests exercise the live proxied APS dependency in all three
+browsers and are a release prerequisite. The APS runner is allowed to change
+upstream. Load failure, explicit rejection, and silence fail closed through the
+existing APS-completion deadline. A changed or compromised APS runner can invoke
+`resolve` prematurely or incorrectly; this is an accepted external-dependency risk
+that the outer renderer cannot detect. Real-browser DOM/network conformance reduces
+but does not eliminate it. V1 never loads the APS URL directly from the browser,
+executes a stored fallback, treats script `load` as completion, or uses a reusable
+global `postMessage` acknowledgement.

+
+Transitions are methods on `RenderAttempt`, not ad-hoc flag mutation. Each method
+checks the expected state and terminal latch. Timers are created at the transition
+whose deadline they enforce and are cleared by the transition that settles them.
+
+An accepted transition first atomically promotes durable DOM/targeting ownership
+from the attempt into one `CommittedRenderArtifact` owned by the exact slot and
+navigation. The attempt disposer removes only uncommitted resources; promotion
+detaches the committed iframe, targeting snapshot, and physical-slot metadata before
+the terminal latch disposes the attempt. Direct TS iframes are removed by artifact
+replacement or navigation disposal. PUC content remains owned by its physical GPT
+slot: for a TS-owned slot the artifact may dispose it only through safe GPT
+destroy/redefine, while publisher-owned slot DOM remains publisher-controlled and
+the artifact releases only TS metadata and compare-restorable targeting. Before a
+slot publishes another accepted artifact it disposes the prior artifact. Navigation
+disposes artifacts according to those same ownership/quarantine rules. Claim,
+registration, owner-control, and renderer-document ports/listeners that are no
+longer needed close after terminal settlement and are never promoted.
+
+### 4.2 Universal Creative claim
+
+The supported GAM creative pins Prebid Universal Creative 1.17.2 by exact artifact,
+not `latest` or a publisher-selectable version. Its cross-domain request is a JSON
+string decoding to exactly
+`{message:"Prebid Request",adId,adServerDomain}` and carries exactly one transferred
+response port. All three values are strings; `adId` and `adServerDomain` are
+nonempty. Object-form or extended payloads are rejected. Universal Creative owns
+this shape, so it cannot carry a TS nonce. The checked-in hermetic PUC fixture is
+generated from or pinned byte-for-byte to the supported source behavior.
+
+The bridge is one capture-phase dispatcher installed as the first reversible core
+effect in the synchronous activation barrier, before any integration-module
+activation and before any TS-owned GPT or Prebid script injection. This guarantees
+it precedes native non-capture listeners installed later by TS while leaving no
+dispatcher active during asynchronous preparation;
+publisher capture listeners that already ran are inside the publisher trust
+boundary. The runtime's dispatcher owns both the initial-request branch below and
+the owner-registration branch in §4.3; no second global listener exists. It performs
+this order:
+
+1. Perform only minimal, side-effect-free recognition. For a JSON string or a
+   clone-safe plain object, inspect own data properties only and extract string
+   `message`, `adId`, and an optional string `lifecycleTicket`. Do not read accessors
+   or traverse prototypes. Malformed or unrecognizable data is ignored.
+2. Route `message === 'TS Render Owner Register'` to §4.3. If
+   `message !== 'Prebid Request'`, ignore it. For `Prebid Request`, look up the
+   extracted `adId` in the global reservation/tombstone store before exact parsing,
+   port, or slot-local checks.
+3. For a non-TS id, do not suppress native Prebid. For a live or tombstoned TS id,
+   immediately call `stopImmediatePropagation()` so an extended/object-form request,
+   wrong port count, stolen capability, or replay cannot fall through.
+4. Only after suppression, require the supported exact JSON-string shape and exactly
+   one transferred port. A recognized TS id with invalid shape/port is generically
+   refused when a usable port exists; all available ports are closed. It never
+   reaches native Prebid.
+5. The first exact live claim during the compatible active GPT cycle acquires the
+   authoritative PUC `WindowProxy` from `MessageEvent.source` and stores that source
+   with its response port. This is the only source acquisition step; SafeFrame
+   ancestry is neither inspected nor guessed. Later owner messages must come from
+   this exact source. The unguessable reservation id, exact active slot/generation,
+   and one-time consumption authorize the first claim. Same-realm publisher code is
+   already inside the documented trust boundary.
+6. Join the buffered claim with an attributable nonempty `slotRenderEnded`. A claim
+   that arrives first is bounded by the owning GPT-cycle/attempt deadline, discloses
+   no render data, and holds only its source and port. A nonempty GAM result that
+   arrives first starts a three-second claim deadline. Only when both conditions are
+   true does the runtime atomically revalidate and consume the reservation.
+7. Empty GAM, navigation disposal, supersession, an incompatible cycle, or the
+   attempt deadline closes a buffered port, tombstones the reservation, and settles
+   the attempt. A second claim is generically refused; it never replaces the first.
+
+The successful outer response is an exact JSON string:
+
+```ts
+{
+  message: 'Prebid Response'
+  adId: string
+  renderer: string
+  rendererVersion: '3'
+  tsOwner: {
+    version: 1
+    status: 'ready'
+    kind: 'aps' | 'adm'
+    lifecycleTicket: string
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`renderer` is the checked-in TS dynamic-owner program. `lifecycleTicket` is
+`t1_` plus 22 unpadded base64url characters from 16 CSPRNG bytes, bound to the
+attempt, generation, source, and reservation, with a fixed three-second TTL from
+posting the outer response. No descriptor or ADM appears in the outer response. A
+recognized TS id that cannot be served receives the same response shape with
+`tsOwner:{version:1,status:'refused'}` and no other `tsOwner` keys; the dynamic owner
+rejects immediately, causing PUC to emit its ordinary `adRenderFailed`. If no usable
+response port exists, the listener can only suppress and close available ports.
+The claim deadline expiry is `bridge_claim_timeout`.
+
+### 4.3 Owner-control registration
+
+PUC executes a dynamic renderer in a hidden `__pb_renderer__` iframe, so a global
+message posted by that hidden frame cannot satisfy source binding. The TS owner must
+instead call PUC's supplied `h.sendMessage(type,payload,onResponse)` helper. PUC
+adds `adId`, serializes the request, sends it from the original PUC frame, and
+creates the response channel.
+
+The owner calls:
+
+```ts
+h.sendMessage(
+  'TS Render Owner Register',
+  { version: 1, lifecycleTicket },
+  onRegistrationResponse
+)
+```
+
+The kernel therefore receives exact JSON
+`{message:"TS Render Owner Register",adId,version:1,lifecycleTicket}` from the
+captured PUC `WindowProxy` plus exactly one helper-created response port. It
+atomically consumes a live ticket and checks the exact `adId`, source, attempt, and
+generation. Success posts exact JSON
+`{message:"TS Render Owner Registered",adId,version:1,lifecycleTicket}` on that
+response port and transfers exactly one newly-created owner-control port. Refusal
+posts exact JSON `{message:"TS Render Owner Refused",adId,version:1}` with no
+transferred port. These are the only registration responses.
+
+This message is received by the same capture-phase dispatcher from §4.2. Its
+registration branch first looks up the minimally extracted `lifecycleTicket` in the
+runtime ticket/tombstone map. An unknown ticket is ignored for native/publisher
+listeners. For a live or tombstoned TS ticket it immediately calls
+`stopImmediatePropagation()` before exact JSON-shape or port validation, then checks
+the captured source, exact `adId`, ticket, attempt, generation, and exactly one port.
+A recognized invalid/replayed request is generically refused when a usable port
+exists and all available ports are closed. Ticket settlement, consumption, or
+attempt disposal replaces its live entry with a tombstone through the original fixed
+ticket expiry; expiry prunes either live or tombstoned state. The dispatcher itself
+is runtime-owned; attempt disposal performs that registry transition and removes
+attempt handlers, not the global dispatcher.
+
+The owner starts a three-second watchdog before invoking `h.sendMessage`, calls the
+helper's returned stop-listening disposer after the first response, and rejects on
+timeout, refusal, malformed data, or a port count other than one. The kernel owns
+the opposite control port and the owner owns the transferred port. Replay, wrong
+source, wrong port count, stale generation, or expiry cannot bind a channel. Kernel
+and owner each have a terminal latch; late registration, acknowledgement,
+settlement, or watchdog callbacks close their ports and remain inert.
+
+### 4.4 APS document and runner acknowledgement
+
+After registration, the kernel posts this exact control message and transfers
+exactly one renderer-document port:
+
+```ts
+{
+  message: 'TS APS Start'
+  version: 1
+  lifecycleTicket: string
+  rendererUrl: string
+  envelope: {
+    version: 1
+    nonce: string
+    publisherOrigin: string
+    renderer: ApsRendererV1
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The kernel owns the opposite document port. The owner creates exactly one iframe at
+the versioned renderer URL with the nonce in its fragment, reports exact
+`{message:"TS Owner Inserted",version:1,lifecycleTicket}` on the control port, and
+on iframe load transfers the envelope and document port once to that exact
+`contentWindow`. Direct APS uses the same document channel and envelope but has no
+PUC owner-control channel. The nonce is 128-bit CSPRNG, attempt-bound, and one-use.
+
+The static document sends only these exact document-port messages:
+
+- `{message:"TS APS Document Accepted",version:1,nonce}` after nonce and descriptor
+  validation;
+- `{message:"TS APS Runner Loaded",version:1,nonce}` when the runner script loads,
+  as nonterminal progress;
+- `{message:"TS APS Render Completed",version:1,nonce}` when the queued APS render
+  event invokes its one-shot success callback;
+- `{message:"TS APS Render Failed",version:1,nonce,reason}` where `reason` is
+  `descriptor_invalid | runner_no_load | runner_failed`.
+
+Insertion has a one-second deadline, document acceptance has a three-second
+deadline from iframe insertion, and the kernel is the sole owner of the ten-second
+APS-completion deadline beginning at document acceptance. Callback silence at that
+deadline maps to `runner_failed`; the static renderer never starts a competing
+completion timer. Script load never accepts. Failure, timeout, port error,
+supersession, or navigation disposal settles once. On a direct path the kernel
+removes its exact pending iframe. On a PUC path the iframe is remote DOM owned only
+by the dynamic owner; the kernel never claims it can remove that node and instead
+posts exactly one owner-control settlement:
+
+```ts
+type OwnerSettlementV1 =
+  | {
+      message: 'TS Owner Settled'
+      version: 1
+      lifecycleTicket: string
+      outcome: 'accepted'
+    }
+  | {
+      message: 'TS Owner Settled'
+      version: 1
+      lifecycleTicket: string
+      outcome: 'failed'
+      reason: RenderFailureReason
+    }
+  | {
+      message: 'TS Owner Settled'
+      version: 1
+      lifecycleTicket: string
+      outcome: 'cancelled'
+      reason: 'caller_aborted' | 'superseded' | 'navigation_disposed'
+    }
+```
+
+The PUC owner owns the remote node, its DOM handlers, and its side of the control
+port. An accepted settlement promotes that exact iframe as committed, removes its
+temporary handlers, closes the control port, and resolves the renderer Promise once.
+A failed or cancelled settlement removes the exact uncommitted iframe, removes its
+handlers, closes the port, and rejects once so PUC emits its ordinary render-failure
+event. The same cleanup applies to the PUC ADM/cache owner in §4.5.
+
+When registration accepts the transferred control port, before waiting for an APS or
+ADM start message, the owner arms one fail-closed 20-second settlement/channel
+watchdog. Start does not extend or rearm it. The deadline is longer than every
+kernel-owned insertion/document/render deadline and also covers registration-to-
+start loss. The owner cancels it on settlement. A malformed control message,
+`messageerror`, local owner disposal, or watchdog expiry performs the failed/
+cancelled cleanup above and rejects once; a silently closed or lost control channel
+is therefore bounded. This watchdog is remote resource cleanup only and cannot
+report acceptance to the kernel or change its already-terminal outcome. A
+settlement-post throw is isolated in the kernel because the remote watchdog owns
+this failure path.
+
+A caller `AbortSignal` remains attempt-owned after owner registration. If it wins
+the terminal latch, the kernel closes its renderer-document channel and sends the
+exact cancelled/`caller_aborted` settlement; direct rendering also removes the
+kernel-owned iframe. The PUC owner performs the remote cleanup just specified. A
+later insert, load, document message, APS callback, settlement, or watchdog is inert.
+
+The winning descriptor dimensions are also the exact layout contract across all
+three nested documents. Before inserting its renderer iframe, the PUC owner sets its
+own document root and body to zero margin/padding with hidden overflow, then creates
+one block iframe with matching positive width/height attributes and CSS pixels, zero
+border, and no scrollbars. The static renderer document has the same zero
+margin/padding and hidden-overflow root/body contract before loading the APS runner.
+The runner-created descendant creative is expected to occupy the same viewport. A
+300×250 winner therefore has 300×250 `clientWidth`, `clientHeight`, `scrollWidth`,
+and `scrollHeight` in the PUC owner and renderer documents, and a 300×250 descendant
+viewport, with no default eight-pixel body margin, clipping, or overflow. Equivalent
+assertions run for every boundary fixture dimension. This is layout correctness, not
+render completion; the callback contract above remains the acceptance authority.
+
+### 4.5 ADM/cache ownership
+
+Cache first resolves to bounded, validated ADM through the transport in §3.1. Direct
+and PUC ADM/cache use one TS-authored iframe constructor and this exact ordered
+sandbox value:
+
+```text
+allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
+```
+
+It omits `allow-same-origin`, downloads, modals, presentation, pointer lock, and
+storage-access escape. The iframe has `referrerPolicy='no-referrer'`, exact positive
+source dimensions in both attributes and CSS pixels, zero border/margin, hidden
+overflow, `display:block`, `scrolling='no'`, title `Ad content`, and aria-label
+`Advertisement`.
+
+The constructor creates the iframe detached, installs one-shot `load`/`error`
+handlers and disposal state, builds the complete ADM document, assigns exactly one
+`srcdoc`, and only then appends the iframe once. It never appends an empty iframe,
+sets `src`, or performs a TS-authored replacement navigation. A `load` is accepted
+only when the exact frame is still the pending frame for the current attempt and
+navigation generation, the intended `srcdoc` was assigned before append, and the
+terminal latch is open. Initial `about:blank`, pre-assignment, removed-frame,
+replaced-frame, stale-generation, post-disposal, duplicate, and error events cannot
+accept. Error, removal before acceptance, or the five-second deadline fails
+`adm_document_no_load`. Real-browser tests force initial-blank, replacement,
+removal, error, timeout, supersession, and stale-load orderings.
+
+For PUC ADM/cache, the trusted TS-authored owner—not bidder creative code—uses the
+same registration protocol. The kernel sends exact
+`{message:"TS ADM Start",version:1,lifecycleTicket,source:AdmRenderSourceV1}` on the
+owner-control port with no transferred port. The owner reports
+`TS Owner Inserted` only after the shared constructor appends exactly one owned
+iframe, and reports exact
+`{message:"TS ADM Loaded",version:1,lifecycleTicket}` or
+`{message:"TS ADM Failed",version:1,lifecycleTicket}`. The kernel answers with one
+`OwnerSettlementV1`; only that settlement resolves or rejects the PUC renderer
+Promise. Insertion has a one-second deadline and load has a five-second deadline.
+Direct ADM uses the same constructor and accepts through its own terminal latch on
+the intended load. No secret or capability is injected into bidder-controlled
+markup.
+
+### 4.6 Channel ownership and parsing
+
+| Channel               | Creator                   | Retained endpoint   | Transferred endpoint                      | Lifetime                                          |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| outer PUC response    | PUC `prebidMessenger`     | original PUC frame  | kernel global listener                    | one ready/refused response or claim disposal      |
+| registration response | PUC `h.sendMessage`       | original PUC helper | kernel global listener                    | one registered/refused response or owner watchdog |
+| owner control         | kernel after registration | kernel attempt      | hidden TS dynamic owner                   | insertion through final owner settlement          |
+| renderer document     | kernel before APS start   | kernel attempt      | exact static APS renderer `contentWindow` | document acceptance through APS completion        |
+
+Global window messages are JSON strings with the exact keys specified above. Port
+payloads are structured-clone objects with the exact keys specified above. Every
+parser rejects accessors, wrong prototypes, unknown keys, wrong literal/version,
+wrong port counts, oversized strings, and already-consumed capabilities before
+performing a state transition. The disposer clears handlers, closes both locally
+owned ports where possible, and makes queued callbacks generation-inert.
+
+The shared protocol corpus fixes these bounds and encodings:
+
+- before `JSON.parse`, an inbound global-dispatcher string is at most 4,096 UTF-8
+  bytes; a larger value is unrecognizable and causes no property access or state
+  lookup;
+- a TS `adId` is exactly the 25-character `r1_` reservation form; a lifecycle ticket,
+  renderer nonce, and attempt id are exactly the respective 25-character `t1_`,
+  `n1_`, and `a1_` forms from §2.2;
+- `adServerDomain` is nonempty and at most 2,048 UTF-8 bytes. It is retained only for
+  exact PUC-shape conformance and is never a fetch target or authority;
+- `publisherOrigin` and `rendererUrl` are at most 2,048 UTF-8 bytes. The former must
+  serialize an exact HTTP(S) origin with no path/query/fragment; the latter must equal
+  the current generation's absolute `/integrations/aps/renderer/v1` URL with no query
+  or fragment, after which the owner appends the exact `n1_` nonce fragment;
+- a navigation/refresh generation is a nonnegative safe integer; and
+- the generated dynamic-owner `renderer` program is at most 64 KiB UTF-8 and the
+  complete successful outer-response JSON is at most 72 KiB. Build tests enforce
+  both; refusal responses contain no renderer.
+
+Structured-clone port payloads use their exact field-level limits: APS descriptor
+256 KiB decoded AAX; ADM 512 KiB; `creativeUrl`, cache `baseUrl`, and cache
+`fetchUrl` 4,096 UTF-8 bytes; `publisherOrigin`, `rendererUrl`, and
+`adServerDomain` 2,048 UTF-8 bytes; server slot id 1–256 UTF-8 bytes with no NUL or
+ASCII control; and the fixed
+capability forms above. No generic unbounded string remains. Boundary-minus-one,
+boundary, boundary-plus-one, multi-byte UTF-8, duplicate-key, and malformed-encoding
+cases run through the producer plus both the global dispatcher and port parsers.
+
+### 4.7 Notifications
+
+APS has no `nurl` or `burl`; none is synthesized. Existing notifications on other
+bid formats remain nonblocking and exactly-once per accepted lifecycle transition.
+Notification transport failure cannot change a render outcome. Redesigning or
+measuring notification delivery is outside this spec.

-## 8. Rollout
-
-Single-release state machine per §0. **Statistical method:** sampled
-traces only (diagnostic reported separately); **randomization unit =
-`assignment_id`** (minted inside the affinity token, §0; persisted on
-client-event rows), so attempts cluster by session; the estimator is a
-**checked-in cluster bootstrap** (`scripts/gates/estimator.py`):
-resample assignment ids, 2,000 resamples, fixed seed recorded in the
-gate artifact, strata (publisher × slot) weighted by control-arm
-traffic share; one-sided 95% confidence bounds on **relative
-differences**; each gate is an independent go/no-go (no cross-gate
-multiplicity correction — stated). **"Missing telemetry counts as
-failure" is made enforceable for whole-missing traces:** the server
-writes a **sampled exposure row** (`ts_expected_attempts`, one per
-server-observed eligible APS win in a sampled trace) at auction time;
-gates **left-join client attempts to expected rows**, so a trace whose
-client events never arrive is a visible missing attempt (not an absent
-row that silently shrinks the denominator). A per-window
-client-transport completeness ratio below 90% makes the statistical gate
-**inconclusive** rather than passing on a biased sample. Per-flow floors;
-rare flows (direct, fallback) gate hermetically + real-GAM, never
-statistically. `cycle_unattributable` divides by all
-attribution-candidate TS cycles.
-
-**Billing is the one gate the cluster bootstrap cannot run**, because GAM
-aggregate reports expose only per-`ts_arm` totals, not session clusters.
-Two options, one chosen per DR: (a) source billing from **GAM Data
-Transfer / impression-level logs**, which carry the `ts_arm` key-value
-**and** a joinable impression/`attempt_id` correlator, and run the same
-cluster bootstrap over impression rows; or (b) if Data Transfer is
-unavailable, use a **separate pre-reviewed aggregate estimator** with the
-**day** as the randomization unit (a two-sample non-inferiority test over
-daily per-arm RPM across the billing window), declared in the gate
-artifact. Whichever is chosen, `ts_arm` is a **reserved, network-audited
-key proven untargeted by any production line item and A/A-validated
-before canary** (§0, §11), so it cannot perturb the metric it measures.
-
-**Phase 0 decision records:** DR-1 mediator presence; DR-2 script
-creatives (deployment decision); DR-3 #997 vs re-merge; DR-4
-candidate-id echo owner (`merge_highest_cpm` config-blocked until

-## 10. Alternatives considered (complete)
-
-1. **Patch APS point-failures without telemetry** — rejected: four correct
-   fixes produced no reliable ads; the next would be another guess.
-2. **Always direct-render APS** (skip GAM/PUC) — rejected: unilaterally
-   changes GAM reporting/pacing; kept only as the attributed-`gam_empty`
-   fallback.
-3. **Single module graph / shared chunks now** — rejected for this release:
-   changes the delivery pipeline while everything else changes; successor
-   option behind the same registry surface.
-4. **Full rewrite in one branch without phases** — rejected: the
-   browser-spec safety net is thinnest exactly where behavior changes.
-5. **Dropping the ES5 bootstrap** — rejected: loses the pinned no-bundle
-   guarantee; the generated fallback keeps it.
-6. **Timeout-triggered fallback rendering** — rejected: uncancelable GPT
-   requests race late fills → double-render/double-bill.
-7. **Timeout-based quarantine re-arm** — rejected: recreates the
-   stale-event bug.
-8. **N/N−1 compatibility machinery** — removed by the §0 policy decision.
-9. **Client-computed notification hashes** — rejected: no key without
-   breaking the pseudonymization boundary; server-minted `notif_id`.
-10. **Fingerprint identities for id-less bids** — rejected: can merge
-    distinct demand; rejection with closed reasons instead.
-11. **Plain readable cohort cookie** — rejected: dark-pool opt-in +
-    cache-cardinality abuse; opaque authenticated token.
-12. **`billing_outcome` event** — removed: no honest post-accept producer.
-13. **Injected in-realm ADM reporter** — rejected: hands bidder code the
-    acceptance credential; owner-observed `load`/`error` instead.
-14. **Cookie-routed CSP affinity** — rejected: opaque-origin reports carry
-    no cookie; server-selected `policy_id` path identity.
-15. **Token-identity alone for arm attribution** — rejected: authorization
-    is not a queryable row dimension; the router injects a trusted internal
-    cohort header ingest stamps (§0).
-16. **Indefinite diagnostic renewal** — rejected: signed `dexp` ceiling.
-17. **Shared attempt identity for parent/child** — rejected: distinct
-    `attempt_id`.
-18. **24 h affinity for a multi-day experiment** — rejected: the affinity
-    lifetime now covers the maximum experiment window (§0).
-19. **`Image()` notification fallback** — rejected: it constructs a
-    separate credentialed/referrer-bearing request outside the primary
-    transport's privacy contract; a failed dispatch reports `failed`
-    instead (§G4d).
-
-## 11. Risks (complete register)
-
-- **Hard-cutover blast radius** — accepted by policy; bounded by the §0
-  runbook (probes, low-weight canary, monitored window, weight-back).
-- **Sticky-cohort routing is new infrastructure** the cutover depends on —
-  Phase 0 work; its coherence and affinity-lifetime tests are
-  release-gating.
-- **Mediator wire-contract change** (`candidate_id` echo) — DR-4 gates
-  `merge_highest_cpm`; config validation enforces the block.
-- **Published notification triggers** become a contract for PBS-path
-  demand — changing them later breaks SSP reporting.
-- **Required `[auction].currency`/`winner_selection`** in mediated
-  deployments are a deliberate startup-error class under §0.
-- **Beacon abuse** — pre-parse caps, per-family origin policies,
-  fail-closed numeric limits, signed modes, credentialed diagnostics.
-- **Registry/limiter memory** — explicit capacities, TTL reclamation,
-  reject-at-capacity; Fastly overshoot documented, not claimed.
-- **CSP data is advisory** — never a sole automatic rollback signal.
-- **Sink blindness** — per-datasource authenticated probes.
-- **ABI freeze** — `tsjs._internal.registry` is load-bearing; exact-release
-  verdicts are the contract.
-- **Schema generation** — checked-in artifacts + staleness CI.
-- **Observation-only control build** is new scoped work whose "zero
-  behavior change" property is itself gated by hermetic parity vs baseline
-  **and an A/A pre-canary** (the `ts_arm` GAM key must move no metric).
-- **`assignment_id` persistence** is pseudonymous but new — bounded by the
-  affinity token lifetime and excluded from any identity join by schema
-  review; it reaches telemetry only via the router-injected trusted header
-  (§0), never a client field.
-- **`ts_arm` GAM targeting key** could itself perturb line-item matching —
-  reserved and audited network-wide, proven untargeted by production line
-  items, and A/A-tested before canary (§8).

-## 12. Success criteria
-
-1. APS creatives render in each configured flow, hermetically and in the
-   attested real-GAM suite.
-2. Every §2 failure maps to its §2.5 signal; diagnostic mode names the
-   failing class from one page load; §5.7 SLIs hold, including the alert
-   drill.
-3. Both lint families (incl. the custom scope-aware rule) pass; stateful
-   sharing only via the registry; exact-release mismatches quarantine
-   loudly.
-4. No `src/` file exceeds ~500 lines; `gpt_bootstrap.js` is a stub or
-   generated.
-5. Exactly one `render_terminal` per `attempt_id`; parent/child fallback
-   attempts are distinct rows; attempt aggregation keys on `attempt_id`
-   with the tuple as grouping only.
-6. The only TSJS-owned global is `window.tsjs` (§7.4); no expandos.
-7. §7.10 budgets hold, including the CDP heap procedure.
-8. No existing warning lost; issue-surfacing conditions log `warn`+ with
-   the beacon reason.
-9. TypeScript floor and flags via the checked-in `typecheck` script;
-   `prebid.js` pin documented.
-10. `nurl`/`burl` only on carrying paths at their binds with the
-    normative dispatch mechanics; APS fires neither; hermetic
-    exactly-once + production alarm + reconciliation.
-11. Trace-bearing responses `private, no-store`; authorizations signed,
-    mode-carrying, renewal-preserving, diagnostic bounded by `dexp`;
-    unsampled transmits nothing.
-12. Cutover rehearsed; config-hash verification enforced; post-cutover
-    routing defaults flip (no stale-cookie stragglers).
-13. Phase-3 statistical and real-GAM gates pass on the attested
-    immutable RC before weight-up.
-14. Appendix A shipped with this design; changes carry decision records.
-15. Baseline APS fix behaviors re-implemented; baseline browser tests
-    pass unmodified.

-## 13. Open questions

-One: does Amazon expose any creative-completion acknowledgement that
-could add a post-`accepted` state under a new name (future
-enhancement)?

-## Appendix A — Normative rollout gates (initial values)
-
-Roles: **RO** release owner, **QA** QA owner, **OPS** on-call.
-Randomization unit: `assignment_id` (§0). Statistical gates: sampled
-traces, cluster bootstrap (§8), canonical views only, checked-in
-artifacts (`tinybird/pipes/gate_*.pipe`, `scripts/gates/*.sh`,
-`.github/workflows/*`). Every statistical row specifies
-numerator/denominator/source; missing rows count as failure. "Hold" =
-weight frozen; "Rollback" = weight back + re-purge. Changes require
-decision records. Low volume: inconclusive → extend once → Hold.

+- Kernel imports no adapter, service, or integration.
+- Adapters import kernel contracts only and are the sole readers/writers of GPT,
+  Prebid, and cross-window messaging globals.
+- Services import kernel and adapter interfaces.
+- Integrations compose services and never import another integration.
+- Composition imports all layers, constructs one `RuntimeSession`, and injects
+  adapters/services through interfaces. Kernel sessions never import or construct a
+  concrete adapter or service.
+- Layering is enforced by ESLint restricted paths.
+- A custom scope-aware lint rule rejects GPT/Prebid global access outside adapters,
+  including same-file aliases of `window`, `globalThis`, `self`, `googletag`, or
+  `pbjs`.
+
+### 5.2 One runtime across IIFE bundles
+
+Each shipped integration remains a separately built IIFE with imports inlined, so
+module singletons cannot be the shared-runtime mechanism. `tsjs-core` installs the
+only runtime and keeps its service registry in the composition closure. During boot,
+the temporary `_registerIntegration` handshake collects each accepted module; the
+composition root alone invokes its exact frozen preparation/activation contexts.
+After commit the handshake is permanently refusing and `tsjs._internal` exposes only
+the frozen status described in §5.4.
+
+Every other bundle registers through:
+
+```ts
+tsjs._registerIntegration({ id, release, prepare })
+```
+
+This is a release-internal bundle handshake, not a publisher extension API. An
+**integration** remains the product capability; an **integration module** is only
+that integration's transactional TSJS implementation unit. The design introduces
+no separately installed or third-party plugin system.
+
+The build first emits every production bundle with the same fixed release sentinel,
+then computes one `releaseId`: 64 lowercase hexadecimal SHA-256 characters over a
+canonical ordered manifest containing every bundle id and its sentinel-normalized
+bytes. It replaces exactly one sentinel in each bundle and verifies none remains.
+This avoids a self-referential hash while changing the id for any logical bundle or
+ordering change. The same value is embedded in core and every integration bundle.
+Before core is injected, the server emits this exact manifest:
+
+```ts
+interface BootManifestV1 {
+  readonly version: 1
+  readonly releaseId: string
+  readonly integrations: readonly {
+    readonly id: string
+    readonly required: true
+  }[]
+}
+```
+
+Integration ids match `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$`, are unique, and appear in the actual
+server injection order. The list contains exactly the enabled integration bundles;
+all listed integrations are required for that page and there are at most 16. Core is injected first, then
+integration modules in manifest order. Registration requires exact id membership and `release`
+equality. Duplicate id, unknown id, wrong release, missing module, or registration
+after the boot deadline fails with `abi_mismatch` or `bundle_partial`.
+Integrations obtain stateful services from the registry; they never construct a
+second runtime, slot registry, GPT adapter, or bridge listener.
+
+Integration-module startup is a two-phase transaction. Registration stores code but
+does not execute it. In manifest order, core calls a synchronous or asynchronous
+`prepare(ctx)` whose only legal effects are validating frozen configuration,
+obtaining injected service interfaces, allocating private inert data/closures, and
+registering private-memory disposers. Preparation cannot read or write ad-tech
+globals, attach a listener/observer/wrapper, touch live DOM, inject a script, start a
+timer/fetch, schedule detached work, invoke publisher code, or call a stateful
+adapter/service method. The one Promise returned to and awaited by core, including
+its ordinary `await`/settlement continuations, is permitted; no continuation may be
+detached from that Promise or survive its settlement/abort. Preparation returns
+exactly one prepared module with a synchronous `activate(ctx)` function.
+
+After every required module prepares, core enters one synchronous activation barrier
+in manifest order. `activate(ctx)` may install only synchronously compare-restorable
+wrappers, listeners, observers, guards, and service subscriptions. It registers the
+disposer before each mutation and may stage bounded post-commit work through
+`ctx.afterCommit(fn)`, but cannot inject/load a script, start network/timers, schedule
+work, drain a publisher queue, or invoke publisher callbacks directly. The core
+dispatcher and correctness-critical GPT listeners are the first reversible core
+activations in this same barrier, not effects left live during asynchronous
+preparation. If any activation throws, core synchronously runs every activated and
+prepared disposer once in reverse order before committing fallback. Since the
+barrier never yields and activation cannot call publisher code, no publisher task
+can observe a partial generation.
+
+The activation barrier checks the same monotonic boot deadline immediately before
+and after every `activate` call and once more before kernel handoff. Elapsed time
+greater than or equal to 10,000 ms synchronously unwinds and commits fallback even
+when the timer task has not run. JavaScript cannot preempt an activation function
+that never returns; a malicious/nonreturning same-realm module can freeze the page
+and is an accepted platform limitation, not a second-runtime recovery case.
+
+After all activations succeed, core commits the complete kernel API, runs staged
+`afterCommit` callbacks in manifest order, and only then drains the preload queue.
+Those callbacks may synchronously start scripts, timers, readiness work, and baseline
+DOM scans; publisher code they intentionally invoke therefore sees the complete
+kernel. A callback throw is isolated to its module, runs that module's remaining
+disposers, records a bounded local runtime failure, and makes affected operations
+fail through their typed readiness/render result; it cannot roll back an already
+published kernel or create a fallback generation.
+
+`ctx.signal` aborts pending preparation. `ctx.onDispose(fn)` is the only disposal
+registration mechanism; a disposer registered after disposal runs immediately, and
+one failing disposer does not prevent the rest. Each module may call
+`ctx.afterCommit` at most once, so the at-most-16 pending modules stage at most 16
+callbacks. A second call by one module throws during activation, unwinds the barrier,
+and commits `bundle_partial`. The bootstrap deadline below is the only preparation
+deadline; modules share its remaining budget and do not start independent ten-second
+preparation clocks.
+
+### 5.3 Bootstrap ownership
+
+Bootstrap uses a generation-scoped state machine:
+
+```text
+unclaimed -> installing -> kernel
+                     \-> failed -> fallback
+```
+
+Initial namespace capture is field-wise and does not replace a publisher-created
+`window.tsjs` object: `window.tsjs ||= {}; tsjs.que ||= []; tsjs.boot ||= {}`. The
+kernel remains externally inert and commits ownership only after all manifest
+integration modules prepare and synchronously activate in order. Before module
+work, bootstrap normalizes `que` to one actual Array and defines the `tsjs.que` data
+property as writable false/configurable true for the installing generation. It keeps
+the ingress Array's native `push`
+throughout `installing`. Thus ordinary assignment cannot redirect the queue, and
+callbacks pushed at any point during the shared deadline append to the same ingress
+Array instead of a one-time snapshot. A preexisting non-Array `que` contributes no
+callbacks and is replaced; an Array's existing own data entries are retained in
+index order.
+
+Kernel and fallback use the same synchronous, non-interleavable commit handoff in one
+JavaScript task. Its order is exact:
+
+1. create an empty actual-Array final executor, install its own immediate-execution
+   `push`, and freeze the Array;
+2. snapshot the ingress Array's callable own data entries in ascending index order;
+3. clear the ingress Array and replace its `push` with a forwarder to the final
+   executor for publishers retaining the old reference;
+4. redefine `tsjs.que` as the final executor with a writable-false,
+   configurable-false descriptor while installing all other complete committed
+   `tsjs` fields;
+5. for a kernel commit, run every staged `afterCommit` callback in manifest order;
+   fallback has none; and
+6. drain the snapshot FIFO.
+
+No browser task or microtask can interleave steps 1–6. Code intentionally invoked by
+an `afterCommit` callback sees the complete API and committed queue. A callback is therefore either
+in the snapshot or reaches the final executor through one of the two queue
+references, never lost or invoked twice. A callback that pushes while the snapshot
+drains executes immediately through the committed queue before draining continues;
+one throw is isolated. Both ingress and final values satisfy
+`Array.isArray(...) === true`. The old ingress identity remains a live forwarding
+queue; the public `tsjs.que` identity changes exactly once at commit.
+
+One ten-second watchdog begins immediately before core injection and covers core,
+registration, preparation, and the synchronous activation barrier for every required
+integration module. A preparation throw/rejection, activation throw, ABI mismatch,
+or deadline aborts the installing generation, synchronously unwinds registered
+disposers in reverse order, and then commits the generated no-bundle fallback.
+Bundles that arrive after
+fallback are rejected and quarantined; they cannot register into or replace the
+fallback generation. Late continuations verify their owner generation and
+self-discard.
+
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` becomes a queue-and-boot-data stub. The old bootstrap's
+initial-load hooks, handoff wrappers, hydration scheduler, slot definition,
+targeting, display, and refresh are deleted. Those behaviors run only after the
+complete runtime commits. This intentionally changes the missing/partial-bundle
+case: it no longer attempts a best-effort GPT render through a duplicated degraded
+runtime, and instead settles every known slot through the terminal fallback below.
+The fallback is generated from one TypeScript source and pinned by a staleness test;
+behavior is not hand-maintained in both ES5 and TypeScript.
+
+The fallback is a terminal, non-rendering shell, not a reduced second runtime. Its
+commit atomically records one immutable boot failure reason:
+
+- `abi_mismatch` for invalid manifest shape, duplicate/unknown integration id, wrong
+  release, duplicate registration, or incompatible ABI; or
+- `bundle_partial` for a missing required integration module, preparation
+  throw/rejection, activation throw, or the shared boot deadline.
+
+Before draining user work it installs `version:'1.0.0'`, the embedded `releaseId`, a
+safe frozen `TsjsBootV1`, the final `tsjs.requestAds` input validator, the
+validating-then-refusing `tsjs.addAdUnits`, the local `tsjs.log`, the
+immediate-executor `tsjs.que`, a permanently refusing internal
+`_registerIntegration`, and a frozen
+`tsjs._internal` value containing only `{state:'fallback',releaseId,reason}`. It
+constructs no runtime session, slot registry, GPT/Prebid adapter, bridge dispatcher,
+timer, listener, port, or iframe. It never exposes a compatibility API.
+
+The safe fallback boot uses the embedded release and
+`manifest:{version:1,releaseId,integrations:[]}`, independently retains the server
+auction projection only when that projection passes its exact shape/256-slot bounds,
+field grammars, render limits, and 8 MiB aggregate cap from §§3.1–3.2, and otherwise substitutes exactly
+`{version:1,auction:{version:1,auctionId:'fallback',results:[]},bids:[]}`. It
+retains a valid cache policy or omits it, and substitutes the creative/diagnostics
+disabled safe defaults from §§5.4/5.8 because no integration module commits. It never copies an accessor or
+unknown property. Fallback batch membership comes only from exact server slot ids in
+that validated immutable `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection` snapshot. Explicit valid ids present in that snapshot,
+and every omitted-slot snapshot entry in projection order, resolve once as
+`failed{path:'primary',reason:<boot failure reason>}`. An explicit id absent from the
+projection resolves `slot_unresolved`; an already-aborted signal resolves each known
+member as `cancelled{reason:'caller_aborted'}`. An empty projection plus omitted slots
+resolves `{slots:[]}`. Input-shape errors still reject with `RequestAdsInputError`.
+
+After installing those surfaces, fallback drains the preexisting callback queue FIFO
+exactly once with `this === tsjs`; one callback throw does not prevent later callbacks.
+Subsequent `que.push(fn)` executes a callable immediately once and ignores non-callable
+values. Every late module registration is refused without invoking integration code, and
+every late bundle continuation self-discards. Browser tests cover each failure
+checkpoint, queued and later `requestAds`, callback throws, already-aborted signals,
+and late bundles; no valid call remains pending.

+
+`version` is the semantic public-API generation and changes only with a reviewed API
+contract; `releaseId` identifies the exact bundle set and equals
+`boot.releaseId`/`boot.manifest.releaseId`. Core recursively freezes the boot value
+before installing integrations. Integration-specific configuration is not a public
+mutable bag: the composition root validates each server-projected, deny-unknown
+config against that integration's typed schema and passes the frozen value only in
+its preparation/activation contexts. `_internal` is a frozen, non-enumerable status
+value; the service registry remains in the composition closure and is available to
+integration modules only through those contexts during startup.
+
+The final queue is the frozen actual empty Array from the commit handoff and contains
+no retained callbacks. Its own `push` invokes one callable
+immediately and exactly once with `this === tsjs`, returns `0`, ignores a
+non-callable, and isolates/logs a throw. Pre-load callbacks are snapshotted and
+drained FIFO only after the committed API is installed, so publisher callbacks never
+run against a half-installed generation. Native mutators, borrowed Array mutators,
+index assignment, `length` assignment, deletion, and property definition cannot
+change the frozen executor or retain a callback; failure follows ordinary strict- or
+sloppy-mode JavaScript semantics and `length` remains `0`.
+
+#### 5.4.1 Programmatic ad-unit registration
+
+The clean public core surface retains programmatic direct-auction registration:
+
+```ts
+interface ProgrammaticAdUnit {
+  code: string
+  mediaTypes: {
+    banner: { sizes: readonly (readonly [number, number])[] }
+  }
+  bids?: readonly {
+    bidder: string
+    params?: Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>
+  }[]
+}
+
+interface AddAdUnitsResult {
+  readonly registered: readonly string[]
+}
+
+type AdUnitRegistrationErrorCode =
+  | 'invalid_units'
+  | 'invalid_unit'
+  | 'invalid_code'
+  | 'duplicate_code'
+  | 'slot_collision'
+  | 'invalid_media_types'
+  | 'invalid_dimensions'
+  | 'dimensions_out_of_range'
+  | 'invalid_bids'
+  | 'invalid_bidder'
+  | 'invalid_params'
+  | 'request_body_too_large'
+  | 'registry_capacity'
+
+class AdUnitRegistrationError extends Error {
+  readonly code: AdUnitRegistrationErrorCode
+  readonly unitIndex?: number
+}
+
+class TsjsUnavailableError extends Error {
+  readonly code: 'runtime_unavailable'
+  readonly releaseId: string
+  readonly reason: 'abi_mismatch' | 'bundle_partial'
+}
+```
+
+Registration is synchronous, all-or-nothing, and navigation-scoped. `code` becomes
+the exact slot id and must satisfy the server slot-id UTF-8 bound from §4.6. The
+argument is one unit or a nonempty array of at most 256 plain data objects. Codes are
+nonempty and unique in the call; banner sizes are nonempty integral number pairs in
+the shared 1–4096 renderer range; bidder names are nonempty and at most 64 UTF-8
+bytes; params are plain JSON-compatible data with the same request-body cap as
+`/auction`. Accessors,
+unknown media types, duplicate codes, or a collision with any server-projected or
+already registered slot reject the whole call with a typed
+`AdUnitRegistrationError` before state changes. There is no merge-by-code behavior.
+The outer shape/count maps to `invalid_units`; a non-plain unit or unknown/accessor
+unit field to `invalid_unit`; code shape, in-call duplicate, and registry collision to
+`invalid_code`, `duplicate_code`, and `slot_collision`; media/banner shape to
+`invalid_media_types`; a nonnumeric/nonfinite/fractional/nonpositive dimension to
+`invalid_dimensions`; an integral dimension outside 1–4096 to
+`dimensions_out_of_range`; bid-array and bidder-name shape to
+`invalid_bids`/`invalid_bidder`; non-JSON, cyclic, accessor-bearing, or otherwise
+unserializable params to `invalid_params`; and encoded body overflow to
+`request_body_too_large`. `unitIndex` is the lowest failing input index when the
+failure belongs to a unit and is absent for outer/capacity errors. Validation order
+is the order just listed, then capacity reservation; repeated runs return the same
+code/index without reading publisher accessors.
+
+Successful units receive registration ordinals after the immutable server projection
+and participate in later `requestAds` snapshots. They use the direct auction/render
+path unless an explicit future design gives them a GPT mapping; registration alone
+never defines, displays, refreshes, or targets GPT. The old placeholder-writing
+methods are deleted rather than aliased. `tsjs.log` retains the existing bounded
+level/method surface, while runtime configuration is immutable boot data or typed
+integration-owned configuration. Fallback validates `addAdUnits` input and then throws
+`TsjsUnavailableError` with the committed boot failure; it constructs no registry.
+
+The retained logger has this exact hard-cutover surface:
+
+```ts
+type TsjsLogLevel = 'silent' | 'error' | 'warn' | 'info' | 'debug'
+
+interface TsjsLog {
+  setLevel(level: TsjsLogLevel): void
+  getLevel(): TsjsLogLevel
+  error(...values: readonly unknown[]): void
+  warn(...values: readonly unknown[]): void
+  info(...values: readonly unknown[]): void
+  debug(...values: readonly unknown[]): void
+}
+```
+
+The initial level is `warn`. `setLevel` accepts only the five exact strings above;
+an invalid runtime value throws `TypeError` without changing the current level.
+Missing/throwing console methods are swallowed at the logger boundary, log failures
+never change ad behavior, and the logger does not retain argument arrays. The
+fallback exposes the same logger and level behavior.
+
+### 5.5 Direct auction API
+
+```ts
+interface RequestAdsOptions {
+  slots?: readonly string[]
+  timeoutMs?: number
+  signal?: AbortSignal
+}
+
+type RequestAdsInputErrorCode =
+  | 'invalid_options'
+  | 'invalid_slots'
+  | 'empty_slots'
+  | 'duplicate_slot'
+  | 'invalid_timeout'
+  | 'invalid_signal'
+
+class RequestAdsInputError extends Error {
+  readonly code: RequestAdsInputErrorCode
+}
+
+type RequestAdsSlotResult =
+  | { slot: string; path: 'primary' | 'fallback'; outcome: 'accepted' }
+  | { slot: string; path: 'primary' | 'fallback'; outcome: 'no_bid' }
+  | {
+      slot: string
+      path: 'primary' | 'fallback'
+      outcome: 'failed'
+      reason: RenderFailureReason
+    }
+  | {
+      slot: string
+      path: 'primary' | 'fallback'
+      outcome: 'cancelled'
+      reason: 'caller_aborted' | 'superseded' | 'navigation_disposed'
+    }
+
+interface RequestAdsResult {
+  slots: RequestAdsSlotResult[]
+}
+```
+
+Every `RequestAdsOptions.slots` entry is an exact, case-sensitive registered slot id:
+either a server slot id from §2.2 or a programmatic `code` admitted by §5.4.1. The
+public API never interprets an entry as a GPT ad-unit path, DOM id, or DOM alias. An
+explicit id absent from the invocation snapshot resolves individually as
+`failed{reason:'slot_unresolved'}` while valid siblings proceed. Internal GPT-path or
+DOM-alias lookup that has zero or multiple matches also fails the affected slot as
+`slot_unresolved`; it never selects the first registration.
+
+When `slots` is omitted, `requestAds` synchronously snapshots every server-projected
+and programmatic slot registered in the current `NavigationSession`, ordered by its
+navigation-local registration ordinal. That immutable snapshot is the batch
+membership and result order; a slot registered after invocation is excluded. When
+`slots` is present, its validated input order is the result order. The `slot` field in
+every result is always the exact registered slot id.
+
+When `timeoutMs` is omitted, the shared auction-response deadline is exactly 10,000
+milliseconds. An explicit value replaces that default and must satisfy the bounds
+below; renderer/GPT path deadlines remain independently fixed by their lifecycle
+transitions.
+
+Omitted/`undefined` options are valid. Otherwise the argument must be a non-null
+plain object whose prototype is this realm's `Object.prototype` or `null`, containing
+only `slots`, `timeoutMs`, and `signal` as own enumerable data properties. Accessors
+or unknown keys are `invalid_options`; non-array slots, non-string/empty/>256-byte
+slot values, and more than 256 values are `invalid_slots`; an explicitly empty array
+is `empty_slots`; an exact duplicate is `duplicate_slot`; a noninteger timeout
+outside `100..30_000` is `invalid_timeout`; and a value that fails the platform
+`AbortSignal.prototype.aborted` brand getter is `invalid_signal`. These reject
+before attempts with `RequestAdsInputError`. Once an attempt is created, the
+returned promise resolves with per-slot terminal results and does not reject for
+auction or render failures. Unknown requested slots fail individually while valid
+siblings proceed. Omitted slots with an empty registry resolve an empty `slots`
+array. A registration collision cannot alter the snapshot or result ordering.
+
+The response deadline governs only the shared auction fetch. Once a response parses,
+path-specific renderer deadlines take over. The caller signal remains active until
+all child attempts settle.
+
+### 5.6 Adapters and external readiness
+
+GPT and Prebid adapters expose `present | pending | timed_out | incompatible`.
+`timed_out` and `incompatible` are not permanent global failures: a later valid
+external replacement can satisfy later operations.
+Each queued operation owns its own deadline and disposal; an expired operation is
+removed instead of running unexpectedly when the external library appears later.
+Each adapter queue holds at most 64 live operations, drains FIFO, and fails only the
+overflowing operation with `external_queue_full`. The operation deadline is exactly
+ten seconds from enqueue and is independent of the auction-fetch response deadline;
+expiry is `external_ready_timeout`. Readiness at the boundary races through the
+operation's terminal latch, so exactly one of dispatch or timeout wins.
+
+The GPT adapter owns early event subscription, command-queue interaction,
+`display`, `refresh`, targeting, and service-state inspection. The Prebid adapter
+owns commands, event subscription, bid-response registration, and Universal
+Creative integration. Tests use adapter fakes rather than mutable global objects.
+
+The decoupled Prebid artifact remains pure Prebid.js and retains its independent
+five-second queue-drain watchdog. The generated wrapper arms that watchdog as its
+first statement, before stamp inspection or module initialization. At 5,000 ms it
+looks up the then-current real Prebid object and calls its idempotent `processQueue()`
+at most once for that wrapper, whether or not the TS integration installed, so
+publisher callbacks are not held hostage by stamp conflict, a missing TS bundle, or
+a partial/duplicate artifact. Duplicate wrappers may reach the idempotent API, but
+black-box tests require each queued publisher callback to execute once. A later TS integration module may call the idempotent API again.
+The module first verifies the real Prebid API, then installs transactionally. It does
+not install the synthetic-refresh policy, clear targeting, or mutate publisher bids
+when only the injected `{que,cmd}` stub exists. The artifact manifest carries both
+module stems and runtime bidder codes, including aliases.
+
+The artifact exposes this frozen plain-data runtime stamp; the separately emitted
+build manifest contains the same fields plus filename/integrity metadata:
+
+```ts
+interface ExternalPrebidArtifactV1 {
+  readonly abi: 1
+  readonly artifactReleaseId: string
+  readonly prebidVersion: '10.26.0'
+  readonly moduleStems: readonly string[]
+  readonly bidderCodes: readonly string[]
+  readonly bidderAliases: readonly {
+    readonly code: string
+    readonly moduleStem: string
+  }[]
+  readonly userIdModules: readonly {
+    readonly moduleName: string
+    readonly configNames: readonly string[]
+    readonly eidSources: readonly string[]
+  }[]
+}
+```
+
+After arming the watchdog and before executing embedded Prebid module factories, the
+wrapper inspects the current `window.pbjs` and its own descriptor for
+`__trustedServerArtifactV1`. If that object already has the required real API plus a
+valid recursively frozen stamp, an exact same-release/content duplicate reuses it and
+skips module initialization/redefinition; a different valid release refuses only the
+new wrapper and likewise leaves the already-working object untouched. A different
+artifact can become active only by replacing the whole `window.pbjs` object.
+
+Otherwise the wrapper initializes its embedded pure Prebid modules. It then attempts
+to define one own non-enumerable, non-writable, non-configurable data property whose
+value is the recursively frozen `ExternalPrebidArtifactV1` only when the descriptor
+is absent. Define failure is caught locally. An accessor, inherited-only value,
+invalid stamp, or hostile/different non-configurable value is left untouched and
+records at most one bounded console warning when possible. None of these paths
+throws, cancels the already-armed watchdog, or prevents publisher Prebid from
+initializing; they make only TS readiness incompatible.
+
+This inert build description is the artifact's only Trusted Server handshake. Apart
+from the independent Prebid queue self-start watchdog specified above, the generated
+wrapper performs no auction, admission, render, targeting, or refresh behavior. The
+Prebid adapter reads the property only through `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor`,
+rejects an accessor or inherited value, and captures both the `pbjs` object and stamp
+identities in one `PrebidArtifactBinding`. Every operation rechecks both identities;
+replacement of `window.pbjs` invalidates only that binding and later readiness may
+bind the new object if it carries a valid stamp. No `window.__tsjs_*` stamp or
+fallback lookup exists.
+
+The artifact build contains exactly one 64-zero-character release sentinel in that
+runtime stamp. It hashes the emitted JavaScript after normalizing that one field back
+to the sentinel, writes the resulting 64 lowercase hexadecimal SHA-256 characters
+into the field, and verifies that no sentinel remains. The separately emitted build
+manifest records that same `artifactReleaseId` plus the ordinary SHA-256/SRI of the
+final bytes. Thus the embedded id has a non-self-referential preimage; it is
+diagnostic artifact identity, not a requirement to match the TSJS `releaseId`.
+
+`prebidVersion` must be exactly `10.26.0`; changing it requires the reviewed
+artifact-contract fixture update in §3.5. Module/code/config names are nonempty,
+unique in their array, and at most 128
+UTF-8 bytes; EID sources are lowercase, nonempty, unique per module, and at most 256
+UTF-8 bytes. The manifest admits at most 256 module stems, 512 bidder codes, 512
+alias rows, and 128 user-ID modules with at most 64 config names and 64 EID sources
+each. Every alias code appears in `bidderCodes`, every alias module appears in
+`moduleStems`, and each configured `client_side_bidder` must appear in
+`bidderCodes`. Arrays are lexically sorted so build/runtime fixtures compare exact
+content.
+
+A missing stamp, wrong `abi`, invalid release/version, malformed/oversized member,
+missing configured bidder, missing required user-ID module/EID mapping, or a real API
+missing a required method makes the current readiness operation
+`external_artifact_incompatible`. It records one bounded local diagnostic and does
+not install TS refresh interception or mutate publisher state. An older unstamped
+artifact remains ordinary publisher Prebid: its own 5,000 ms watchdog drains its
+queue exactly once, and the later TS module does not replay publisher callbacks.
+Replacement by a valid artifact can satisfy later operations. Compatibility requires
+both `abi:1` and exact Prebid 10.26.0; external artifacts are not pinned to a TSJS
+release id.
+
+### 5.7 GPT correctness retained during decomposition
+
+- Subscribe to `slotRequested` and `slotRenderEnded` before any TS request.
+- Pass `changeCorrelator: false` for TS refreshes unless the explicit configuration
+  says otherwise.
+- Call `enableSingleRequest()` only before services are enabled; never reconfigure a
+  publisher-owned GPT service after `enableServices()`.
+- Restore the intended initial-load behavior represented by issue #922/PR #997 and
+  pin it with tests.
+- Responsive-size ambiguity fails `slot_unresolved` and never silently skips or
+  chooses an arbitrary container.
+- A TS fallback slot is defined on the resolved inner div, never its outer
+  `-container`. An exact later publisher `defineSlot` receives that same live slot
+  even when its path/formats differ, with a local mismatch warning, because defining
+  a second physical slot would violate the one-placement invariant. A
+  hydration-renamed alias is accepted only when the original element is gone and
+  exactly one live, unclaimed TS fallback shares the configured prefix, exact GAM
+  path, and normalized formats. Ambiguity remains native and cannot transfer TS
+  ownership.
+- Successful handoff synchronously transfers ownership, removes the slot from the
+  TS destroy set, suppresses exactly the publisher's duplicate initial `display`,
+  and under disabled initial load suppresses exactly its duplicate first refresh.
+  A global refresh expands the live GPT slot list, filters only one-shot suppressed
+  slots, and forwards unrelated slots with the original options.
+- Publisher calls are not held until TS targeting is ready. A publisher-owned
+  display/refresh remains publisher work, and its failures cannot start TS fallback.
+- Every TS-owned GPT destroy/redefine uses one adapter transaction. It first marks
+  the exact old object and cycle retired, then calls `destroySlots([old])` and
+  requires a successful return before attempting `defineSlot` for a replacement.
+  A throw/false destroy leaves the old identity retired and its path/aliases
+  quarantined, defines no second physical slot, and makes current or next TS work
+  fail `gpt_request_failed` until publisher destruction or reload. If destroy
+  succeeds but replacement definition fails, the slot stays unbound and the same
+  failure is returned; bindings and ownership commit only after one replacement is
+  successfully defined. A stale generation after either call disposes any newly
+  created TS-owned replacement and cannot bind it. Request-timeout, completion-
+  timeout recovery, navigation replacement, and DOM reconciliation all call this
+  transaction rather than open-coding destroy/redefine.
+- Runtime-owned DOM reconciliation detects when a framework replaces the element of
+  a TS-owned live slot. It debounces changes, retires/destroys only the orphaned
+  TS-owned GPT object, resolves the unique current element, and rebinds within the
+  current navigation. One `MutationObserver` per `NavigationSession` watches
+  `childList` changes under `document.documentElement`; it is disconnected on
+  navigation disposal. Once an exact owned element becomes disconnected, that slot
+  opens a 5,000 ms reconciliation window on the monotonic clock. The first resolution
+  pass runs after 250 ms without another relevant mutation; if it is unresolved or
+  ambiguous, exactly one final pass runs at the 5,000 ms boundary. A pass that finds
+  one unique current element may win the slot's terminal reconciliation latch only
+  after the destroy/redefine transaction commits its replacement. Destroy or define
+  failure settles current work as `gpt_request_failed`; it is not counted as a
+  successful rebind. The window expiry racing a successful final pass goes through
+  the same latch: success wins only if the unique replacement was committed first;
+  otherwise the slot records `slot_unresolved` and runs the failed-reconciliation
+  disposer. That disposer
+  cancels the slot's active TS request cycle, tombstones its live render reservation,
+  compare-restores only targeting still equal to TS-installed values, clears every
+  exact/alias binding to the orphan, and asks the GPT adapter to destroy that exact
+  still-TS-owned object. Before the destroy call it marks the object/cycle retired in
+  weak identity state, so a throw or later GPT callback is quarantined and cannot
+  re-enter selection, fallback, trace attribution, or targeting. It then releases
+  the timer, candidate set, and all strong references. Successful destruction
+  settles a nonterminal current attempt as `failed{reason:'slot_unresolved'}`;
+  throw/false destruction settles it as `failed{reason:'gpt_request_failed'}` and
+  adds one bounded local warning. Neither outcome restores ownership.
+
+  A second disconnect after one successful rebind may open one final window; two
+  successful rebinds is the per-slot, per-navigation maximum. A further disconnect
+  immediately runs that same disposer with
+  `failed{reason:'reconciliation_capacity'}` and cannot rebind again before the next
+  `NavigationSession`. Navigation disposal uses the same physical-object/targeting/
+  cycle cleanup without emitting a new failure. Reconciliation never destroys a
+  transferred or otherwise publisher-owned slot, and ownership transfer racing any
+  pass wins the latch, cancels TS reconciliation state, removes TS destroy ownership,
+  and leaves physical/targeting cleanup to the publisher.
+
+- The Prebid refresh policy preserves the exact `excluded_gam_ad_unit_path_suffixes`
+  behavior: path matching is literal/case-sensitive suffix matching; missing,
+  non-string, or throwing `getAdUnitPath()` fails open; stale TS/Prebid keys are
+  cleared from every target; only eligible slots enter the synthetic auction; and
+  the complete target slot list plus original options still reaches GPT.
+- Use one adapter-level refresh interception and one slot-service request path;
+  remove the three independent integration wrappers without removing handoff or
+  exclusion semantics.
+- Preserve the baseline collapsed-shell resize as a guarded exception tied to the
+  current attempt. It runs only after a TS PUC response is posted and only when the
+  source is the exact connected iframe, width/height attributes and computed size
+  are still at most one pixel, dimensions are finite/positive, the frame/wrapper are
+  ordinary non-fixed/non-sticky display shells, and no anchor container is present.
+  Only that iframe and its still-collapsed immediate wrapper may be resized.
+
+### 5.8 Local diagnostics
+
+The kernel owns a bounded, failure-isolated diagnostics bus. Render attempts and the
+GPT adapter publish immutable observations after their correctness transition; a
+diagnostics subscriber can never delay, reject, retry, or mutate the source
+operation. Subscriber throws are logged locally and isolated from later subscribers.
+The internal bus admits at most 16 integration-module subscriptions, one for each
+manifest member; publisher code cannot register on that internal bus.
+
+`tsjs.diagnostics.renderTrace` replaces the mutable `tsjs.renders`, `renderLog`, and
+`renderSeq` globals and the `tsjs:adRendered` CustomEvent with read-only snapshot and
+subscription methods. The final schema is:
+
+```ts
+type RenderTracePathV1 = 'auction' | 'ssat' | 'gam-refresh'
+type RenderTraceServedFromV1 =
+  | 'inline'
+  | 'gam'
+  | 'debug-adm'
+  | 'pbs-cache'
+  | 'prebid'
+
+interface RenderTraceRecord {
+  readonly slotId: string
+  readonly path: RenderTracePathV1
+  readonly rendered: boolean
+  readonly elementId?: string
+  readonly auctionId?: string
+  readonly bidder?: string
+  readonly adId?: string
+  readonly bidId?: string
+  readonly creativeId?: string
+  readonly admHash?: string
+  readonly servedFrom?: RenderTraceServedFromV1
+  readonly gamEmpty?: boolean
+  readonly injected?: boolean
+  readonly visible?: boolean
+  readonly count: number
+  readonly seq: number
+  readonly at: number
+}
+
+interface RenderTraceDiagnostics {
+  current(): Readonly<Record<string, Readonly<RenderTraceRecord>>>
+  history(): readonly Readonly<RenderTraceRecord>[]
+  subscribe(listener: (record: Readonly<RenderTraceRecord>) => void): () => void
+}
+
+interface TsjsDiagnostics {
+  readonly renderTrace: RenderTraceDiagnostics
+  readonly gpt?: GptDiagnosticsApi
+}
+
+class DiagnosticsSubscriberLimitError extends Error {
+  readonly code: 'subscriber_capacity'
+  readonly surface: 'renderTrace' | 'gpt'
+}
+```
+
+Snapshots are frozen copies, not references to the runtime store. Subscription is
+FIFO; unsubscribe is idempotent; a listener registered during dispatch begins with
+the next observation. `count` is the positive per-slot impression ordinal, `seq` is
+the positive runtime-global observation ordinal, and `at` is the initial record's
+`Date.now()` epoch milliseconds; enrichment retains all three. The initial record and
+every later enrichment commit to `current`/`history` first and return to the
+correctness/publisher stack without invoking public code. After commit, the
+diagnostics service snapshots the current subscriber ids and enqueues one frozen
+full-record copy in a 200-entry FIFO keyed by `seq`; another enrichment pending for
+that `seq` replaces both its queued snapshot and captured subscriber-id set without
+changing order. A listener added after the initial commit may therefore receive a
+later enrichment commit, but never the earlier snapshot. Overflow drops the oldest
+pending notification and increments a diagnostics-only counter. One owned
+zero-delay task drains the queue in observation order. A listener registered after a
+commit cannot receive that committed observation; unsubscribe before delivery
+suppresses its captured id; registration during delivery starts with the next
+observation. A slow/non-returning listener can block only that later diagnostics task,
+never the render/GPT transition that scheduled it, and a throw is isolated from later
+listeners. This asynchronous frozen delivery is the timing/detail replacement
+contract for the removed `tsjs:adRendered` event; no CustomEvent or compatibility
+alias is emitted.
+
+Each public diagnostics surface admits at most 32 live subscribers. A 33rd
+subscription throws `DiagnosticsSubscriberLimitError{code:'subscriber_capacity'}`
+without adding the listener; unsubscribe immediately returns capacity. The
+argument must be callable or `subscribe` throws `TypeError` before the capacity
+check. The
+composition root freezes `tsjs.diagnostics` only after all manifest diagnostics
+integration modules have registered their surfaces. Fallback exposes no diagnostics
+namespace because it constructs no runtime.
+
+- sequence numbers are runtime-global across separately built IIFEs;
+- current state is keyed by exact registered slot id and therefore capped by the
+  256-record navigation registry. Slot/navigation disposal synchronously prunes its
+  current entry; history is document-runtime scoped, capped at 200, and evicts the
+  oldest row before append;
+- one physical impression is one history row; a later bridge/GPT/visibility signal
+  enriches that row in place and cannot weaken prior `rendered` or `injected` truth;
+- a publisher/GAM refresh with no current TS auction has no TS attribution;
+- `gam-only` means GAM reported fill without proof TS placed the creative, while
+  `ok` requires TS placement plus visibility;
+- DOM `data-ts-*` stamps remove absent/stale fields on every update; an old badge is
+  removed before the new status is considered; and
+- the boot-armed local overlay remains bounded, newest-first, click-to-export,
+  and noninteractive with the creative. Overlay/export failure cannot affect ads.
+
+Diagnostics enablement is resolved before core preparation and transported only
+through frozen boot data:
+
+```ts
+interface DiagnosticsBootV1 {
+  readonly version: 1
+  readonly renderTraceOverlay: boolean
+  readonly gpt: { readonly active: boolean }
+}
+```
+
+The server always emits this complete value, defaulting to
+`{version:1,renderTraceOverlay:false,gpt:{active:false}}`. Both objects must be
+non-null plain objects with exactly the shown own enumerable data properties;
+accessors, unknown/missing keys, or wrong prototypes/literals/types are
+`abi_mismatch`, not silent diagnostics disablement. The kernel copies the validated
+data and recursively freezes that copy before module preparation; copy/freeze
+failure is also `abi_mismatch`. `gpt.active:true` requires exactly one required `gpt_diagnostics`
+integration id in `BootManifestV1`, and `false` requires that module to be absent;
+the inverse mismatch is also `abi_mismatch` before any GPT diagnostics listener or
+buffer exists.
+
+The existing render-trace server toggle resolves
+`tsjs.boot.diagnostics.renderTraceOverlay`; TSJS does not read or mutate its cookie.
+GPT diagnostics remains deployment-disabled by default. When configured, one exact
+`ts_console=1|true` directive on an eligible GET document navigation enables the
+host session and `ts_console=0|false` disables it; values are case-sensitive and
+duplicate/unrecognized directives fail closed for that response. The server owns the
+host-only HttpOnly session cookie, removes the reserved directive before publisher or
+origin handling, preserves unrelated path/query/fragment data, and emits only the
+resolved `gpt.active` boolean. The old
+`window.__tsjs_gpt_diagnostics_active` flag and browser storage bootstrap are deleted.
+
+The GPT diagnostics integration module preserves the behavioral contract in
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-28-gpt-runtime-diagnostics-overlay-design.md` unless
+this design explicitly changes ownership or activation transport. It consumes raw
+facts from the sole GPT adapter rather than registering another control wrapper.
+
+When `gpt.active` is true, core installs the six documented GPT observations
+(`slotRequested`, `slotResponseReceived`, `slotRenderEnded`, `slotOnload`,
+`impressionViewable`, and `slotVisibilityChanged`) before any TS-owned GPT request.
+It starts a 512-entry FIFO pre-module fact buffer and replays it in order when the
+diagnostics module activates. Overflow evicts the oldest fact and increments one
+diagnostics-only counter; after replay, live facts fan out directly and the buffer is
+released. When inactive, no diagnostics buffer or four diagnostics-only listeners
+exist. The GPT adapter may still own `slotRequested` and `slotRenderEnded` listeners
+required for ordinary ad correctness under §5.7; inactive zero-side-effect tests
+measure that baseline and require zero diagnostics-added listeners, DOM, timers,
+observers, API, or network work.
+
+The GPT diagnostics store retains at most 64 observed GPT slot objects, ten request
+cycles per slot, and 128 callback-issue records. It evicts the
+least-recently-active slot or oldest cycle/issue before insert and increments the
+corresponding export counter. An evicted GPT slot can re-enter only on a future
+`slotRequested`; its monotonic request number is retained in a `WeakMap`, and earlier
+non-request callbacks remain unmatched. Its public API shares the 32-subscriber cap
+above. Exact slot identity/binding and element replacement, physical request cycles,
+callback truth, timing fields, frozen bounded export, Shadow DOM overlay, badge
+layers, SPA behavior, privacy, and non-interference remain. Diagnostic records are
+memory-only; neither diagnostics surface writes localStorage, sessionStorage,
+IndexedDB, or uploads data. The hard-cutover API is `tsjs.diagnostics.gpt`; the old
+flag/runtime expandos and `tsjs.gptDiagnostics` alias are deleted.
+
+GPT public subscriptions use a separate one-entry latest-snapshot notifier and never
+run from a GPT callback, adapter fan-out, store mutation, or binding observer. After
+each committed store/binding change, the controller builds one frozen
+`GptDiagnosticsExportV1`, snapshots current subscriber ids, and schedules one owned
+zero-delay task. A later change before delivery replaces that pending snapshot and
+subscriber-id set; this API signals current state rather than promising one callback
+per raw GPT fact. Registration after a commit cannot receive that commit unless a
+later change replaces the pending snapshot; unsubscribe before delivery suppresses
+the captured id. Listener throws are isolated, and a slow/non-returning listener can
+block only the diagnostics task. Module disposal cancels the task, clears the one
+pending snapshot and subscriber set, and delivers nothing later. `snapshot()` remains
+a synchronous frozen read with no subscriber invocation. Tests apply the same
+subscribe/unsubscribe/slow/throw rules as render trace plus 0/1/2-update coalescing.
+
+### 5.9 Creative and remaining integration preservation
+
+`CreativeBootV1` in §5.4 is exact plain boot data. The server always emits it. A
+disabled integration is exactly
+`{version:1,enabled:false,clickGuard:false,renderGuard:false}` and has no `creative`
+manifest member. When enabled but its config is absent, the server emits
+`{version:1,enabled:true,clickGuard:true,renderGuard:false}`; explicit configuration
+replaces the two guard booleans. `enabled:true` requires exactly one required
+`creative` manifest id and `false` requires its absence. An accessor, non-plain
+prototype, missing/unknown key, wrong literal/version/type, disabled non-false guard,
+or manifest mismatch is an `abi_mismatch` before any creative guard installs. The recursively
+frozen `tsjs.boot.creative` is the only final inspection/configuration surface.
+`globalThis.tscreative`, `globalThis.tsCreativeConfig`, `installGuards`, `setConfig`,
+and `getConfig` are deleted, not aliased; changing guard policy requires a new boot/
+document generation.
+
+The creative integration module prepares inertly and activates transactionally
+exactly once in the kernel barrier. Activation installs the click guard when
+`clickGuard` is true and the image/iframe dynamic-source guards when `renderGuard` is
+true, but performs no baseline DOM rewrite. Only when
+`clickGuard || renderGuard` is true, activation gives a still-loading document one
+owned `DOMContentLoaded` callback to perform the baseline idempotent rescan after the
+initial DOM completes; an already interactive/complete document gets no listener and
+performs that scan from one staged `afterCommit` callback. Its
+disposer removes that listener, observers, and owned DOM state and compare-restores a
+patched constructor/property/function only if the current value is still the exact
+wrapper installed by this generation. Disabled guards install no wrapper, observer,
+listener, scan, or DOM state, whether the integration itself is disabled or it is
+enabled with both guard booleans false. SPA navigation retains the document-scoped
+guards and their dynamic-node behavior; failed preparation/activation or full runtime
+disposal removes them once.
+
+Creative processing keeps its current independent policy controls. Auction
+sanitization remains explicit opt-in/default-off; rewriting retains its existing
+setting/default and still runs on every delivery path where that setting applies.
+The runtime click guard resolves and stores one validated absolute HTTP(S) URL before
+navigation, rejects `javascript:`, `data:`, `blob:`, malformed, and credentialed
+targets, and uses the established `/first-party/proxy-rebuild` GET redirect path to
+recover clicks from the opaque sandbox. Dynamic resource/click rewriting, iframe
+sandbox attributes, font/CORS handling, body/base handling, and the direct/SSAT/cache
+delivery boundaries remain covered by unit plus real-browser tests. This APS/TSJS
+work neither enables sanitization nor broadens creative privileges.
+
+Every other enabled TSJS integration becomes a thin transactional integration module without an
+internal feature rewrite. Its complete current unit suite runs unchanged against a
+pre-cutover fixture and a module-composed fixture. At minimum the parity corpus
+proves:
+
+| Integration        | Required preserved behavior                                                                                                                                            |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| DataDome           | dynamic script/preload matching and fixed first-party route rewriting preserve the upstream path                                                                       |
+| Didomi             | configured proxy path becomes the absolute `didomiConfig.sdkPath` without clobbering unrelated publisher config                                                        |
+| Google Tag Manager | script/preload rewriting plus Google Analytics `sendBeacon`/`fetch` rewriting preserve method, body, and unrelated traffic                                             |
+| Lockr              | script guard plus bounded SDK readiness polling rewrites only the initialized Lockr API host                                                                           |
+| Osano              | USP/GPP/TCF cookie mirroring retains marker ownership, timeout, readiness, retry, event, focus/visibility, clear, and non-clobber semantics                            |
+| Permutive          | script guard, bounded SDK readiness, API-host rewriting, and at-most-100 normalized local segment values continue to feed auction context                              |
+| Sourcepoint        | optional SDK guard and Sourcepoint-owned GPP cookie mirroring retain localStorage shapes, marker ownership, initial retry, visibility/focus updates, and safe clearing |
+| Testlight          | preexisting and later callbacks bridge once into the final TSJS queue; invalid entries and one throwing callback do not block later work                               |
+
+The shared script/beacon/DOM-insertion guards keep integration-owned matchers and
+routes. A shared helper may centralize interception, but it cannot broaden one
+integration's matcher, reorder another integration's startup, stack interception,
+or leave a timer/listener after module disposal. Maximal-bundle tests load every
+server-declared integration module in real manifest order and assert both its behavior and
+exactly-once disposal, not merely successful registration.
+
+### 5.10 Error handling and bounded state
+
+No empty `catch` remains in the migrated kernel, adapters, or APS/GPT/Prebid paths.
+Boundary failures become typed results and a concise local warning; disposer and
+late-callback failures cannot escape into publisher code. Logs redact descriptors,
+AAX payloads, account ids, creative URLs, auction bodies, and capability values.
+
+Every collection has a named owner, capacity, and pruning rule. Tests exercise
+capacity, TTL, duplicate registration, replay, timeout, navigation replacement, and
+late continuation behavior with fake timers.
+
+### 5.11 Decomposition targets
+
+The implementation extracts cohesive behavior rather than mechanically splitting
+by line count:
+
+| Current area                 | Target responsibility                                                                                                        |
+| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `gpt/index.ts`               | thin integration composition over GPT adapter, slot service, initial-load policy, handoff, SPA navigation, and render bridge |
+| `prebid/index.ts`            | thin integration composition over Prebid adapter, shim, refresh handler, eids, and APS registration                          |
+| `core/request.ts`            | validation plus `AuctionBatch`; rendering delegated to render service                                                        |
+| `core/render.ts`             | path-independent DOM helpers only; lifecycle lives in render service                                                         |
+| `core/trace.ts`              | diagnostics subscriber over lifecycle/GPT observations; no mutable integration-owned trace registry                          |
+| APS maps in globals          | runtime-owned bounded reservation service                                                                                    |
+| duplicated `script_guard.ts` | shared factory plus integration configuration                                                                                |
+
+Other integrations receive an integration-module wrapper and service lookup where required, but
+their internal behavior is not otherwise rewritten.
+
+### 5.12 TypeScript and performance gates
+
+The lockfile compiler is the authority. CI runs a checked-in `typecheck` script with
+`strict`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
+`verbatimModuleSyntax`, `noImplicitOverride`, and
+`useUnknownInCatchVariables`. Production bundles contain no dynamic imports.
+
+Before implementation, CI records deterministic gzip/Brotli baselines for minimal,
+reference, and maximal integration sets; each may grow at most 5% unless separately
+approved. Boot-to-first-display p90 uses a pinned Chromium version, CI runner class,
+fixture, warmup count, and sample count and must stay within 10% of that pre-change
+baseline. Retained heap uses Chromium CDP only, with forced-GC checkpoints after
+boot, first render, refresh, and SPA navigation, and the same 10% limit. Correctness
+runs independently in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Correctness failures are never
+waived by a performance pass.
+
+## 6. Security and privacy
+
+1. Renderer iframes omit `allow-same-origin`; cross-origin target `"*"` is permitted
+   only when transferring a one-use port to an exact, already-checked
+   `contentWindow`.
+2. The initial global PUC request contains the opaque renderer reservation
+   capability but no descriptor, ADM, lifecycle ticket, or nonce, and it establishes
+   no success. The first compatible claim acquires the PUC source; render authority
+   begins only after exact reservation/slot lookup, attributable nonempty GAM,
+   current generation, source binding, and atomic consumption.
+3. Lifecycle tickets and nonces are CSPRNG, one-use, TTL-bounded, never logged, and
+   invalidated on supersession/navigation.
+4. Exact-key message parsing prevents confused-deputy extensions. Unknown versions
+   are ignored or failed closed according to whether the message claims a TS
+   capability.
+5. Native Prebid messages with non-TS ids continue to native listeners. Any message
+   carrying a live or tombstoned TS id is suppressed before later validation.
+6. The upstream APS runner URL, every creative URL, and production renderer/proxy
+   routes must be HTTPS. HTTP is permitted only for loopback hermetic adapters; their
+   fixed local proxy route remains covered by CSP `'self'`. The runner executes only
+   through the fixed-target, anonymous-CORS Trusted Server proxy. The proxy relays the
+   APS body unchanged but never stores it in source, forwards publisher credentials,
+   accepts a caller-selected target, or executes a fallback. Runner-created APS-origin
+   resources may use their own origin cookies under browser policy. The renderer
+   document accepts no cookie as authority.
+7. Script creatives remain opt-in because they materially broaden executable
+   behavior. Enabling them requires a documented security review of the fixed
+   renderer CSP.
+8. The design adds no persistent identifier and no external event pipeline.
+

+### 7.2 Mandatory race matrix
+
+Tests must cover at least:
+
+- duplicate simultaneous `Prebid Request` for the same id;
+- claim before/after attributable nonempty GAM, claim followed by empty GAM, and
+  navigation/supersession at each side of that two-condition join;
+- replay after consumption and after tombstone expiry boundary;
+- attempt-id navigation prefix failure, ordinal uniqueness and exhaustion without an

+  eighth draw; 255/256/257 live nonces and 319/320/321 ticket/tombstone entries;
+  capacity versus expiry pruning; and proof that neither overflow path posts a usable

+- valid id from wrong slot/source, altered id from the expected source, and a native
+  Prebid id;
+- PUC registration before/after timeout, wrong source, zero/two ports, replay,
+  caller abort before/after registration/insertion/document acceptance, and owner
+  watchdog racing a late kernel response; every winner produces exactly one
+  encodable `OwnerSettlementV1` and one PUC Promise settlement; channel loss before
+  start and after insertion, settlement-post throw, and the 20-second remote cleanup
+  boundary prove the owner removes only its uncommitted iframe while accepted DOM
+  remains;
+- renderer document success followed by runner failure/timeout;
+- runner proxy stall and slow-drip across the five-second total deadline; redirect;

+  absent/accepted/parameterized/rejected `Content-Type`; absent/identity/listed/other
+  `Content-Encoding`; declared and streamed over-limit bodies; byte-preserving
+  success; stripped upstream headers; and empty, non-leaking `502 no-store` failure;
+- GPT/Prebid readiness at either side of its deadline, `slotRequested` at either
+  side of the request-start deadline, and `slotRenderEnded` at either side of the
+  completion deadline, including late real completion of an attributable
+  completion-timeout cycle and proof that future events never release an
+  unattributable request-timeout quarantine;
+- iframe `load`, `error`, removal, supersession, and navigation disposal ordering;
+- accepted-artifact promotion racing terminal disposal, replacement of an accepted
+  direct iframe, TS-owned GPT destroy/redefine, and publisher-owned GPT navigation;
+- two consecutive attempts installing identical targeting strings with newer
+  success, failure, and supersession; older-artifact disposal after newer promotion;
+  publisher different-value and same-value `setTargeting`, per-key clear, and
+  clear-all before each cleanup point;
+- old-navigation completion after a new slot with the same DOM id exists, both
+  before and after the replacement's completion, for TS- and publisher-owned slots;
+- two concurrent `/auction` calls with partial slot overlap, reversed responses,
+  one caller abort, full abort, and response timeout;
+- initial boot projection versus SPA navigation-owned projection, proving boot
+  remains recursively frozen; stale/duplicate/malformed page-bids responses;
+  page-bids racing programmatic registration at the 255/256/257 combined-slot
+  boundary; auction/provider/upstream/currency/CPM/targeting grammar and
+  byte/count boundaries; canonical projection just below/at/above 8 MiB with the
+  exact all-winners-to-`winner_not_renderable` reduction; and all-or-nothing
+  projection/slot/targeting commit;
+- `display()` under disabled initial load from TS and publisher callers;
+- exact and hydration-renamed late `defineSlot` handoff, mismatch/ambiguity,
+  duplicate publisher display, explicit/global initial-load-disabled refresh,
+  ownership transfer, SPA disposal, and unrelated slots/options;
+- DOM replacement before and after GPT request start, debounced TS-owned orphan
+  reconciliation at 249/250 ms and 4,999/5,000 ms, first/final pass success,
+  two-success capacity, expiry/rebind latch ordering, ambiguous replacement,
+  transfer racing replacement, exact orphan destruction/quarantine, targeting
+  compare-restore, cycle/reservation cleanup, throwing/false GPT destroy and failed
+  replacement definition in reconciliation/request-timeout/completion-timeout/
+  navigation paths, proof no second physical slot is defined, navigation disposal,
+  and proof that publisher-owned slots are never destroyed;
+- SRA completion ordering, duplicate `responseIdentifier`, missing completion, and
+  publisher/TS overlap;
+- missing/stub/late/duplicate/older/partial external Prebid artifacts, artifact
+  queue-watchdog versus late module activation, ABI and release-identity boundaries,
+  every manifest collection/string capacity, malformed/unsorted/duplicate members,
+  sentinel-normalized versus final-byte integrity, exact 10.26.0, own data-property
+  binding, same-release duplicate reuse without module re-execution, different-valid-

+  adapter gaps, user-ID/EID manifest gaps, replacement by a later valid artifact,
+  absence of TS auction/admission/render/refresh behavior from the external artifact,
+  and native publisher queue/bid
+  survival;
+- explicit/global Prebid refresh with normal, all-excluded, and mixed slots;
+  literal path case/trailing-slash mismatch; missing/non-string/throwing
+  `getAdUnitPath`; cleanup of excluded slots; original option identity; and the
+  initial-TS-refresh bypass;
+- reservation capacity with an unexpired oldest entry and late request for that
+  entry; navigation slot capacity across repeated programmatic calls at totals
+  255/256/257, mixed server/programmatic records, all-or-nothing overflow, and full
+  disposal/reuse on the next navigation; immutable winner-CPM retention across a
+  replaced projection before a delayed cache claim, Prebid lease promotion, ignored
+  cache-response price/current targeting, and separate direct-cache expansion;
+- integration-module prepare throw/reject/abort and activation throw at each
+  checkpoint, late preparation continuation after fallback, and `afterCommit` throw;
+  9,999/10,000/10,001 ms synchronous activation returns plus the pre/post-call and
+  pre-handoff monotonic checks; nonreturning activation documented as unpreemptable;
+  duplicate `afterCommit` registration and 15/16-module callback capacity;
+  publisher GPT activity and script/creative DOM activity before/during/after a later
+  module failure prove preparation is inert, activation cannot yield, rollback is
+  same-task, and post-commit work sees only the full kernel; queued and later
+  `requestAds`, callback throws, already-aborted signals, refusing late integration
+  registration, and proof that no second runtime, listener, port, timer, request,
+  script, wrapper, guard, or iframe survives a fallback commit;
+- exact kernel/fallback `TsjsApi` own surfaces; semantic version and release-id
+  equality; boot deep-copy/freeze and malformed-field safe fallback; actual-Array
+  queue identity; pushes before/during/at activation and commit completion; retained ingress
+  references after swap; snapshot-versus-forward exactly-once behavior; nested push
+  ordering; frozen final-queue `length:0` under native/borrowed mutators, index and
+  length assignment, deletion, and property definition in strict and sloppy callers;
+  immediate post-load return values, `this`, non-callables, and callback throws;
+- main bundle absence after server GPT projection, proving the old degraded bootstrap
+  renderer is deliberately gone: no GPT definition/targeting/display/refresh occurs,
+  every known slot settles with the committed fallback reason, the queue drains once,
+  and a late bundle cannot revive rendering;
+- explicit `requestAds` selection with exact server-projected and programmatic slot
+  ids, an unknown id beside a valid sibling, GPT-path and DOM-alias collisions, and

+- programmatic `addAdUnits` single/array registration, boundary sizes/counts,

+
+### 7.3 Real-GAM pass criteria
+
+The checked-in test-network fixture and hermetic fakes use fictional ids and no
+production demand. Real network ids, GAM creative configuration, and secrets are
+injected by the protected CI/manual environment and never checked into this
+repository.
+Each required flow must demonstrate the expected DOM and lifecycle result, not an
+analytics row:
+
+- APS paths: one creative request, one bridge claim where applicable, one renderer
+  iframe, one APS runner load, one APS render-completion callback, one accepted
+  result, no duplicate render. The PUC owner, static renderer, and descendant creative
+  each have the exact winning viewport with zero default margin, no clipping, and no
+  overflow.
+- Empty GAM fallback: parent settles empty/failure before exactly one child render.
+- Direct ADM/cache: exact owned iframe reaches one accepted result.
+- Failure fixtures: wrong id, invalid descriptor, missing claim, missing owner,
+  missing document acknowledgement, and runner failure each reach the specified
+  terminal reason within the specified timeout.
+- After SPA replacement, no old attempt mutates the current slot or targeting.
+
+The suite records browser console, network metadata, DOM, and GPT-event evidence as
+CI artifacts. Network capture excludes APS runner and creative response bodies so a
+test artifact cannot become an accidental vendor-code archive. It requires no
+external analytics, billing, or experiment result.
+
+## 8. Delivery and rollout
+
+This work is assembled through test-only constructors while being built, then cuts
+over once through the existing APS/TSJS release mechanism. No runtime flag,
+old/new selector, compatibility branch, or dual protocol is introduced in any
+deployable artifact.
+
+1. **Contract first:** land descriptor corpus, lifecycle types, adapter interfaces,
+   and failing tests without changing production behavior.
+2. **Kernel and services:** introduce runtime/integration-module ownership, sessions, slot
+   registry, auction batch, and render lifecycle behind test-only construction.
+3. **Server APS path:** make admission, mediation, descriptor projection, targeting,
+   and renderer route conform to the contract.
+4. **Browser integrations:** migrate APS, GPT, Prebid, direct auction, fallback,
+   local diagnostics, creative processing, every remaining TSJS integration, and
+   bootstrap to the shared services/integration modules while their `RCJ-*` parity corpus stays
+   green.
+5. **Delete legacy paths:** remove expandos, duplicate bridge branches, old
+   `requestAds`, legacy globals, duplicated bootstrap behavior, and unused flags
+   from the release candidate.
+6. **Pre-production:** pass all hermetic suites and the protected real-GAM network
+   in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit; archive its console, network, DOM, and GPT-event
+   evidence with the release artifact.
+7. **Binary production cutover:** deploy the verified artifact through the
+   repository's normal release mechanism. This design adds no percentage router or
+   canary-selection infrastructure. Hold an exclusive production deployment window,
+   attest the active immutable artifact, and re-check it immediately before cutover;
+   any mismatch blocks and regenerates evidence. Retain that immediately prior
+   artifact and roll back the whole cutover on renderer errors, elevated request
+   failures, CSP/security errors, or non-APS regressions.
+8. **Post-cutover:** monitor existing operational signals for 24 hours. The deployed
+   artifact already contains no temporary development selector.
+
+Binary rollback restores Trusted Server code but cannot restore older live APS runner
+bytes. If the proxied runner becomes unavailable, incompatible, or produces suspect
+completion results, the emergency containment action is to disable
+`[integrations.aps]`; this stops new APS admission and makes both reserved APS routes
+return their local `404 no-store` response. APS remains disabled until controlled
+real-browser conformance passes again.
+
+This document does not prescribe new rollout telemetry. If existing operational
+signals are insufficient for a deployment decision, that blocks rollout and is
+resolved operationally or in a separate observability spec; it does not justify
+adding a hidden analytics subsystem here.
+
+## 9. Decisions and rejected alternatives
+
+1. **Patch only the current GPT bridge:** rejected; it leaves duplicated runtime
+   state, SPA races, direct-auction concurrency, and bootstrap ownership unresolved.
+2. **Full TSJS rewrite:** rejected; extract the kernel and migrate behavior in tested
+   slices so current contracts remain the oracle until cutover.
+3. **Use `slotRenderEnded` as render success:** rejected; it observes GAM creative
+   injection, not APS runner completion.
+4. **Use a bid id as the only bridge credential:** rejected; ids can collide, be
+   truncated, replayed, or arrive from a wrong frame.
+5. **Put the lifecycle nonce in `Prebid Request`:** impossible; Universal Creative
+   owns that message. The nonce is minted only after a validated claim.
+6. **Trust creative-document callbacks for ADM/cache:** rejected; bidder-controlled
+   markup must not hold the acceptance capability. The TS-authored owner observes
+   its iframe.
+7. **Evict live reservations at capacity:** rejected; a late request could fall
+   through to native Prebid or claim the wrong work. Refuse new registration.
+8. **Abort a shared auction fetch when one slot is superseded:** rejected; sibling
+   attempts may still need the response.
+9. **Keep legacy globals/API aliases:** rejected; backward compatibility is not a
+   requirement and dual paths would preserve the architecture defect.
+10. **Add analytics or experiment infrastructure to prove rollout:** rejected as a
+    separate project. Rendering is proven by contract, browser, and real-GAM
+    conformance; release uses a pre-production gate and binary artifact rollback.
+11. **Check in or release a pinned APS runner:** rejected. Trusted Server owns only
+    the fixed-target transport proxy and renderer contract; APS owns the live runner
+    bytes.
+
+## 10. Risks and mitigations
+
+| Risk                                                  | Mitigation                                                                                                                                                                             |

+| PUC behavior differs from mocks                       | vendor and checksum the exact supported PUC 1.17.2 behavior, exercise its `h.sendMessage` channel, and gate on real GAM                                                                |
+| Same-realm publisher code can interfere               | explicitly trust TS-authored owner code; capability checks defend unrelated frames, replays, and stale work, not arbitrary same-realm compromise                                       |
+| A module activation never returns                     | activation is generated first-party code with boundary tests; elapsed returning calls fail through monotonic checks, but JavaScript cannot preempt a nonreturning same-thread function |
+| Strict parsing rejects a future APS field             | descriptor is versioned; outer transport remains tolerant; add a reviewed version/corpus update rather than silently accepting new semantics                                           |
+| CSP blocks a legitimate APS creative                  | three-browser real-GAM suite; script creatives remain opt-in; CSP changes are explicit security work                                                                                   |
+| Hard cutover breaks stale pages                       | accepted compatibility stance; verify pre-production and retain the prior immutable artifact for binary rollback                                                                       |
+| Kernel extraction changes unrelated integrations      | per-integration pre/post behavior corpus, adapter fakes, current full suites, behavioral maximal-bundle test, and exact disposal assertions                                            |
+| `rc/july` moves after the design is approved          | pin `905984e62`; stop before code changes, diff all inventoried TSJS/bootstrap/browser paths, and update the ledger/tests explicitly                                                   |
+| Diagnostics change ad behavior or overclaim a render  | one-way observation bus, bounded early-event replay, isolated subscribers, honest `gam-only`/`ok` rules, inactive zero-side-effect tests, and no correctness dependency                |
+| Bounded registries refuse traffic under extreme churn | explicit reservation `registry_full` and slot `registry_capacity`, lifecycle pruning, capacity stress tests; never trade correctness for eviction                                      |
+| GPT event attribution remains ambiguous               | fail the TS attempt deterministically and never trigger fallback from ambiguous/publisher-owned activity                                                                               |
+| Late async work mutates new SPA state                 | generation checks, owned disposers, terminal latch, and adversarial reversed-order tests                                                                                               |
+| Browser tests report iframe load but not APS success  | require the bound APS render-completion callback and inspect network/DOM evidence                                                                                                      |
+| APS runner becomes unavailable or stops the callback  | load/rejection/silence fail the attempt; real-browser conformance blocks release and APS disablement is the emergency containment path                                                 |
+| APS runner reports completion incorrectly             | accepted external trust risk; protected conformance checks DOM/network behavior, but cannot prove future mutable bytes; suspect behavior disables APS                                  |
+| Existing operational signals are weak                 | do not invent telemetry in this spec; hold deployment or write a separate observability design                                                                                         |
+
+## 11. Success criteria
+
+The design is complete when all of the following are true:
+
+1. The five supported render flows have explicit owners, identity rules, deadlines,
+   and terminal behavior.
+2. APS descriptor production and all three validators agree on the full corpus.
+3. Mediation cannot detach price from provenance or attach the wrong renderer.
+4. GAM receives a valid, non-truncated identity for every accepted TS renderer bid.
+5. Duplicate, replayed, wrong-source, stale-navigation, and late lifecycle messages
+   cannot render or settle twice.
+6. Direct multi-slot auctions settle every requested slot and obey child-versus-batch
+   cancellation.
+7. The runtime has one slot registry, one bridge listener, one adapter instance per
+   external library, and one explicit owner for every timer/listener/port/iframe.
+8. Legacy expandos, duplicate bridge branches, old globals, old `requestAds`, and
+   duplicated bootstrap logic are absent from the final bundle. The `pub_id` config
+   alias, `/__ts/page-bids`, its JS retry, and the unversioned APS renderer path are
+   absent from server routes, tests, and documentation. Every bootstrap failure
+   checkpoint commits the terminal non-rendering shell, drains work exactly once,
+   and cannot construct or admit a second runtime.
+9. APS renderer and runner-proxy routing, security headers, bounded relay, and failure
+   behavior are proven through each real adapter transport, are equivalent across all
+   four adapters, and never fall through to publishers. APS runner bytes are neither
+   stored in the repository nor required to be identical across different upstream
+   fetches.
+10. Rust, TypeScript, ESLint, Vitest, hermetic Playwright, adapter parity, and
+    real-GAM conformance suites pass.
+11. Non-APS Cache/ADM rendering, native Prebid handling, publisher-owned GPT, refresh,
+    SRA, and SPA regression suites pass.
+12. No analytics, persistence, billing, experimentation, or deployment-routing
+    artifact is added by the implementation plan.
+13. `requestAds` accepts only exact server-projected or transactionally registered
+    programmatic slot ids, omitted selection is an immutable invocation-time
+    registration-order snapshot, and ambiguous internal aliases fail closed without
+    affecting valid siblings.
+14. Direct and PUC ADM acceptance is possible only for the exact current frame's one
+    intended `srcdoc` navigation; initial blank, replacement, removal, stale, late,
+    and duplicate events cannot accept.
+15. Every `RCJ-*` ledger entry maps to an executable pre-cutover fixture, one final
+    owner, focused final tests, and a preserved/rebuilt/superseded disposition; the
+    final manifest has no unmapped TSJS source or browser contract.
+16. Late GPT handoff, hydrated/ responsive DOM replacement, Prebid partial-artifact
+    recovery and refresh exclusions, creative security, render trace, GPT
+    diagnostics, and every remaining TSJS integration pass their complete parity
+    suites after the hard cutover.
+17. PUC owner, renderer document, and descendant creative dimensions are exact and
+    unclipped for the winning size, while collapsed-shell correction cannot resize an
+    unrelated, anchor, fixed, sticky, disconnected, or already-expanded frame.
+18. Programmatic ad units register transactionally into the navigation slot service,
+    participate in deterministic direct-auction snapshots, and render through the
+    same lifecycle; placeholder rendering and mutable generic runtime configuration
+    are absent rather than silently retained as a second path.
+19. The committed `TsjsApi` kernel/fallback surfaces, semantic version, exact
+    release identity, queue, logger, immutable boot data, and diagnostics presence are
+    executable contracts; creative guards auto-install from `CreativeBootV1` with no
+    mutable/install global API.
+20. Attempt ids require no issued-id history, and reservation/ticket/nonce registries
+    refuse capacity or collision exhaustion without exposing a reusable capability.
+21. The external Prebid artifact remains free of TS auction/render behavior, exposes
+    only its exact own frozen 10.26.0 build stamp, and the TS-owned adapter admits a
+    fully prepared bid without partial publication.
+
+## 12. Open implementation decisions
+
+These choices may be resolved in the implementation plan without changing the
+architecture:
+
+- exact source-file boundaries inside `kernel/`, `adapters/`, and `services/`;
+- whether the canonical descriptor schema is generated from Rust metadata or a
+  small neutral schema file, provided all validators share the corpus and staleness
+  check;
+- the repository's existing feature/config switch used only while the new path is
+  under construction;
+- exact operational thresholds for the existing binary deployment mechanism.
+
+The `RCJ-*` ledger membership, behavioral dispositions, public diagnostics
+namespace, Prebid artifact independence, and integration parity requirement are not
+open implementation decisions.
+
+They may not be resolved by adding compatibility shims, a second runtime, external
+telemetry requirements, durable persistence, experiment routing, or a weaker
+lifecycle success definition.

+# GPT Refresh Source and Replacement Diagnostics
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-05  
+**Status:** Approved
+**Scope:** Opt-in GPT diagnostics only; zero publisher-code changes
+
+## Relationship to Existing Diagnostics
+
+This design extends
+`2026-08-04-gpt-delivery-evidence-and-auction-competition-design.md`. The
+existing implementation distinguishes Trusted Server direct requests, Prebid
+refreshes, competing markers, and unattributed GPT requests. Deployed publisher
+evidence confirmed that a late Trusted Server request can replace an already
+rendered ad, but the diagnostics do not yet identify ordinary
+publisher refreshes or summarize the replacement relationship.
+
+The change remains observational. It must not suppress, delay, reorder, add, or
+remove GPT requests; change targeting; alter auction timeouts; or require
+publisher JavaScript, framework, DOM, Prebid, or GAM changes.
+
+## Decision
+
+Represent every integration-observed GPT request trigger as a short-lived,
+per-slot request intent. The next matching `slotRequested` consumes the current
+intent evidence and records its source and correlation facts on that request
+cycle.
+
+The diagnostics will additionally relate a newly rendered request to the most
+recent earlier filled render for the same GPT slot. This makes an observed
+replacement explicit and reports the time between the previous render and the
+next request, plus a creative-ID transition when GPT exposes both IDs.
+
+The implementation will not infer a refresh source from targeting values,
+elapsed time, request number, element IDs, or network parameters. An invocation
+that bypasses all installed integration boundaries remains `unattributed`.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Distinguish Trusted Server direct, Prebid-managed, and observed publisher
+  refresh requests.
+- Preserve the existing `competing` classification when more than one observed
+  path contributes to the same request.
+- Correlate a Trusted Server request with its server auction ID when supplied by
+  the bid response.
+- Report opportunity-to-GPT-request latency.
+- Report when a later filled render replaces an already-rendered filled cycle.
+- Report previous-render-to-next-request latency and GAM creative-ID changes.
+- Correlate `slotOnload` from the response-bearing cycle when GPT reports load
+  before render, and explain the intentionally absent render-to-load duration.
+- Keep exported data bounded, browser-local, free of bid payloads and creative
+  markup, and safe when diagnostics code is absent or malformed.
+- Preserve zero publisher-code changes and identical delivery behavior.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Preventing the late Trusted Server refresh or changing hydration/ad-init
+  behavior.
+- Deciding whether a publisher refresh should be suppressed.
+- Inferring an auction winner from targeting or timing.
+- Capturing prices, targeting maps, markup, network bodies, or stack traces.
+- Proving visual correctness inside a cross-origin creative iframe.
+- Attributing calls made through a refresh function reference captured before
+  the Trusted Server wrappers were installed.
+- Weakening callback ambiguity handling or changing the existing
+  ten-cycle-per-slot retention limit.
+- Adding server processing timestamps. This iteration correlates the opaque
+  server auction ID and measures only browser-observed intervals.
+
+## Evidence Model
+
+### Request intents
+
+Replace the two independent pending-marker concepts with one per-slot request
+intent record that can accumulate source evidence before GPT emits
+`slotRequested`:
+
+```ts
+type GptDiagnosticsRequestIntentSource =
+  | 'trusted_server_direct'
+  | 'prebid_refresh'
+  | 'publisher_refresh'
+
+interface PendingRequestIntent {
+  intentId: number
+  sources: Map<GptDiagnosticsRequestIntentSource, PendingSourceEvidence>
+}
+
+interface PendingSourceEvidence {
+  generation: number
+  observedAtMs: number
+  trustedServerOpportunity?: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity
+  trustedServerAuctionId?: string
+}
+```
+
+The concrete implementation may use an equivalent internal representation,
+but the following semantics are required:
+
+- Storage is keyed by GPT slot object identity.
+- Recording another source for the same pending intent adds independently
+  timestamped evidence without discarding existing evidence or resetting its
+  expiry.
+- Re-recording the same source replaces that source's timestamp, generation,
+  and metadata and restarts only that source's expiry. For Trusted Server, the
+  new opportunity and optional auction ID replace the prior values; an absent
+  auction ID clears a prior auction ID rather than carrying stale correlation.
+  Re-recording remains idempotent for classification.
+- Each intent has a monotonically increasing diagnostic-only ID.
+- The intent is consumed once by the next matching `slotRequested`.
+- Each source expires independently after the existing five-second request-path
+  attribution window. Expiry removes only that source. The intent is removed
+  when it is consumed or when its final source expires.
+- Deferred source expiry is generation-safe and cannot delete a newer
+  observation of that source or any other source.
+- An expired or absent intent produces an `unattributed` request.
+
+The public diagnostic API remains fail-open/no-op and no-throw. It allows the
+Trusted Server opportunity method to carry an optional auction ID. The
+standalone GPT observer records publisher intent directly in the store, so no
+publisher-refresh method is added to the public API:
+
+```ts
+recordTrustedServerOpportunity(
+  slot: GptDiagnosticsSlotHandle,
+  auctionSlotId: string,
+  opportunity: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity,
+  trustedServerAuctionId?: string
+): void;
+
+recordPrebidRefresh(slots: GptDiagnosticsSlotHandle[]): void;
+```
+
+A valid slot handle is any non-null object identity, matching the existing
+WeakMap contract; GPT getter methods remain optional and throwing getters are
+handled by the existing safe-read paths. Empty required identifiers and
+unavailable diagnostics objects are ignored.
+
+An optional auction ID is accepted only when it is a string whose trimmed value
+is non-empty and no more than 256 UTF-8 bytes. The trimmed value is retained.
+Invalid values are omitted without dropping the otherwise-valid Trusted Server
+intent. The auction ID is opaque correlation data; no auction payload is
+retained. The target branch does not currently expose this identifier in its
+injected bid metadata, so the implementation adds only a target-native
+diagnostic path: the existing `AuctionRequest.id` is copied to the winning
+bid's optional `hb_auction_id` metadata for both the initial document and
+page-bids response, then GPT `adInit` forwards it to the diagnostic opportunity
+method. This must not import RC tracing fields, APS renderer data, or change
+auction selection, targeting, markup, or delivery behavior.
+
+### Source classification
+
+Extend the request-path union:
+
+```ts
+type GptDiagnosticsRequestPath =
+  | 'trusted_server_direct'
+  | 'prebid_refresh'
+  | 'publisher_refresh'
+  | 'competing'
+  | 'unattributed'
+```
+
+Classification is based only on consumed intent sources:
+
+| Observed sources             | Request path            |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| Trusted Server only          | `trusted_server_direct` |
+| Prebid only                  | `prebid_refresh`        |
+| Publisher only               | `publisher_refresh`     |
+| Any two or all three sources | `competing`             |
+| None                         | `unattributed`          |
+
+`publisher_refresh` means the request passed through the installed publisher
+refresh boundary. It does not mean publisher code was the original caller if
+another unobserved wrapper invoked that boundary.
+
+### Observer ownership and behavioral identity
+
+The GPT diagnostics installer owns a standalone, idempotent observer around the
+currently installed `pubads.refresh`. It installs through the existing
+diagnostics `googletag.cmd` callback before deferred Prebid installation. The
+observer performs only a synchronous intent observation and delegates exactly
+once without filtering, suppression, targeting changes, or callback changes.
+
+For an explicit slot list, it records exactly those valid object identities.
+For a bare refresh, it attempts to resolve the concrete slots through
+`pubads.getSlots()`. Slot resolution, diagnostics-store access, and context
+reads are individually isolated: any exception or malformed value records
+nothing and still delegates the original call unchanged.
+
+Prebid wraps this observer later. To avoid labeling a Prebid-delivered request
+as both publisher and Prebid merely because the wrappers are nested, Prebid
+sets a synchronous, exception-safe diagnostic dispatch context only while it
+delegates a refresh for which it also records Prebid intent. The observer skips
+publisher intent while that context or `adInitRefreshInProgress` is active.
+Context setup, reads, restoration, and diagnostics failures must never block or
+mask refresh delegation.
+
+The observer preserves the original receiver, argument count and identities
+(including zero arguments versus an explicit `undefined`), return value,
+synchronous throw, and exactly-one call. Wrapper installation failure is
+isolated from the six existing GPT callback-listener installations. Both GPT
+diagnostics and Prebid installers remain idempotent.
+
+If publisher code retained and invokes an older refresh reference that bypasses
+the installed boundary, no publisher intent is observable. Its GPT request is
+honestly retained as `unattributed`.
+
+## Request-cycle Correlation Fields
+
+Add the following optional exported fields:
+
+```ts
+interface GptDiagnosticsRequestCycle {
+  requestIntentId?: number
+  trustedServerAuctionId?: string
+  opportunityToRequestMs?: number
+  replacedRequestNumber?: number
+  previousRenderToRequestMs?: number
+  creativeChanged?: boolean
+  previousCreativeId?: string | number
+}
+```
+
+`requestIntentId` is present only when an observed intent was consumed.
+`trustedServerAuctionId` and `opportunityToRequestMs` are present only when the
+consumed intent included Trusted Server evidence. The duration is calculated
+from the Trusted Server opportunity observation to `slotRequested`; invalid or
+negative durations are omitted.
+
+The type of creative IDs must match the existing GPT Ad Manager identity type.
+If that type is narrower than the illustrative union above, reuse the existing
+type rather than widening it.
+
+## Replacement Detection
+
+Replacement is evaluated when a current cycle receives a non-empty
+`slotRenderEnded` callback. Search earlier retained cycles for the most recent
+cycle that also has a non-empty render. If one exists:
+
+- set `replacedRequestNumber` to that earlier cycle's request number;
+- set `previousRenderToRequestMs` when the previous render and current request
+  timestamps form a valid non-negative duration;
+- copy the previous creative ID when GPT supplied it;
+- set `creativeChanged` only when both cycles expose creative IDs.
+
+This is an observed slot-render replacement relationship, not proof that the
+pixels visibly changed. `slotContentChanged` remains GPT's independent statement
+and is displayed alongside it. Empty current renders do not count as a rendered
+replacement. If the earlier rendered cycle has already been evicted, no
+replacement relationship is invented.
+
+The diagnostics must not mutate an older cycle after it is evicted and must not
+retain extra unbounded history solely for replacement detection.
+
+## Overlay and Export
+
+The overlay uses concise factual labels:
+
+- `Request path: Publisher refresh`
+- `Request intent: 7`
+- `Trusted Server auction: <opaque ID>`
+- `Opportunity → request 24 ms`
+- `Replaced rendered request 1 after 6048 ms`
+- `Creative changed 138563319574 → 138562551425`
+- `Creative unchanged <ID>` when both IDs match
+
+When either creative ID is unavailable, omit the creative comparison instead
+of displaying `unknown changed`. Existing `slotContentChanged` output remains.
+The JSON snapshot/export includes the new optional fields without changing its
+activation, redaction, or bounded-retention behavior.
+
+## Failure and Safety Behavior
+
+- Diagnostics calls remain wrapped so failures cannot interrupt ad mapping or
+  refresh delivery.
+- Intent recording never calls GPT, Prebid, or publisher callbacks.
+- Wrapper dispatch context is restored even when the delegated refresh throws.
+- Marker expiry and notification scheduling remain bounded.
+- Invalid auction IDs are omitted without dropping otherwise-valid TS intent.
+- Per-source expiry removes no fresh or unrelated source evidence.
+- Missing previous render facts produce absent replacement fields, not errors.
+- No source classification is inferred after intent expiry.
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+### Store tests
+
+- TS-only, Prebid-only, publisher-only, two-source, and three-source
+  classification.
+- Repeated same-source recording remains single-source.
+- One-shot consumption, expiry, and generation-safe replacement.
+- Independent per-source timestamps and expiry, including partial expiry of a
+  multi-source intent.
+- Repeated TS evidence replaces opportunity, timestamp, and auction-ID metadata
+  and clears a stale auction ID when the replacement omits it.
+- Intent IDs increase and correlate to the correct request.
+- TS auction ID and opportunity-to-request duration propagation.
+- Invalid optional auction ID omission.
+- Replacement against the most recent earlier non-empty render.
+- Empty current or previous render does not create a replacement relationship.
+- Creative changed, unchanged, and one-sided/missing-ID cases.
+- Evicted history does not create fabricated replacement facts.
+- An early `slotOnload` matches the unique response-bearing cycle, records
+  `loadObservedBeforeRender`, omits `renderToLoadMs`, and does not report an
+  invalid event order; overlapping candidates remain ambiguous.
+
+### Integration tests
+
+- External explicit and bare refreshes record publisher intent for exactly the
+  delegated slots.
+- Prebid delegation records Prebid intent but not nested publisher intent.
+- `adInit` internal refresh records TS intent but not publisher intent.
+- The standalone observer is installed inside the later Prebid wrapper and
+  repeated installation does not double-wrap.
+- Zero-, one-, and two-argument calls preserve explicit `undefined`, receiver,
+  slot/options identity, return value, synchronous throw, and exactly-one
+  delegation.
+- Throwing or malformed `getSlots`, diagnostics-store access, and context access
+  remain fail-open.
+- Initial-document and page-bids Rust tests prove that the request auction ID is
+  copied only into optional winning-bid diagnostic metadata.
+
+### API, overlay, and type tests
+
+- Safe API forwarding and malformed-input no-op behavior.
+- Exhaustive path-label coverage including publisher refresh.
+- Conditional display of intent, auction, latency, and replacement facts.
+- Snapshot/export shape includes only available optional facts.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- A normal refresh passing through the installed publisher boundary is labeled
+  `publisher_refresh`.
+- A Prebid-delivered refresh remains `prebid_refresh`, not `competing`, solely
+  because of wrapper nesting.
+- A Trusted Server direct request reports its auction ID when available and its
+  opportunity-to-request delay.
+- A late filled request after an earlier filled render explicitly identifies
+  the prior request and elapsed delay.
+- Creative transitions are reported only from GPT-provided identifiers.
+- GPT's normal load-before-render ordering is attributed without fabricating a
+  duration or incomplete sequence.
+- Calls that bypass observed boundaries remain `unattributed`.
+- Delegated slot-array identity and contents, `undefined` versus explicit bare
+  refresh arguments, options-object identity, call count, and synchronous throw
+  propagation are preserved exactly.
+- Existing Prebid auction/watchdog timing, targeting operations, and GPT/Prebid
+  callback counts are unchanged; diagnostics adds no GPT or Prebid callback.
+- The production installer sequence and idempotent reinstallation keep
+  Prebid-controlled requests Prebid-only rather than false `competing`, without
+  depending on GPT slot handoff or APS code.
+- All existing JS tests plus new store, API, GPT, Prebid, overlay, and type tests
+  pass, followed by repository lint, formatting, build, and required Rust
+  verification commands.

+# GPT Refresh Diagnostics Port Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Extend the opt-in GPT diagnostics with per-slot request-intent source attribution, Trusted Server auction-ID correlation, observed rendered-replacement reporting, and a behavior-preserving publisher refresh observer.
+
+**Architecture:** Replace the store's independent Trusted Server and Prebid pending markers with one identity-keyed, generation-safe request intent containing independently expiring source evidence. Install a standalone diagnostics refresh observer before the existing Prebid wrapper; the shared `TsjsApi.prebidRefreshDispatchInProgress` context makes a nested Prebid refresh Prebid-only, while `adInitRefreshInProgress` continues to exclude internal Trusted Server refreshes. Carry only this branch's string `AuctionRequest.id` through optional `hb_auction_id` winning-bid metadata on initial and page-bids response paths, then expose its opaque value in diagnostics.

+---
+
+## Scope and branch constraints
+
+- Implement diagnostics only. Do not change auction selection, targeting, markup,
+  request timing, callback matching except for the approved response-gated
+  `slotOnload` correction, retention limits, or publisher integration behavior.
+- This branch has no RC tracing handoff, July handoff, or APS renderer data. Do not import or recreate those concepts; use only `AuctionRequest.id` as the opaque optional `hb_auction_id` diagnostic metadata.
+- Preserve the public diagnostics API as fail-open/no-throw. Do not add a public publisher-refresh method.
+- Preserve exact `pubads.refresh` behavior: receiver, argument count (including no arguments versus an explicit `undefined`), argument identity, result, synchronous exception, and one original invocation.

+### Task 1: Define the exported contracts first
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing public-type/export fixture assertions.**
+
+  Add a complete V1 snapshot fixture containing `publisher_refresh`, `requestIntentId`, `trustedServerAuctionId`, `opportunityToRequestMs`, `replacedRequestNumber`, `previousRenderToRequestMs`, `previousCreativeId`, and `creativeChanged`; assert omitted optional fields stay absent in the serialized/typed shape.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused type test and confirm it fails.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because the new union member and cycle fields are missing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the smallest shared contracts.**
+
+  In `core/types.ts`:
+
+  ```ts
+  export interface AuctionBidData {
+    // existing fields
+    hb_auction_id?: string;
+  }
+
+  export type GptDiagnosticsRequestPath =
+    | 'trusted_server_direct'
+    | 'prebid_refresh'
+    | 'publisher_refresh'
+    | 'competing'
+    | 'unattributed';
+
+  export interface GptDiagnosticsRequestCycle {
+    // existing fields
+    requestIntentId?: number;
+    trustedServerAuctionId?: string;
+    opportunityToRequestMs?: number;
+    replacedRequestNumber?: number;
+    previousRenderToRequestMs?: number;
+    creativeChanged?: boolean;
+    previousCreativeId?: GptDiagnosticsAdManagerIdentity['creativeId'];
+    loadObservedBeforeRender?: boolean;
+  }
+
+  recordTrustedServerOpportunity?(
+    slot: GptDiagnosticsSlotHandle,
+    auctionSlotId: string,
+    opportunity: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity,
+    trustedServerAuctionId?: string
+  ): void;
+  ```
+
+  Reuse the existing numeric GPT creative-ID type; do not widen it to arbitrary strings. Add optional `prebidRefreshDispatchInProgress?: boolean` to shared `TsjsApi`, rather than a bundle-local window cast, so diagnostics and Prebid IIFEs share one defensive context contract.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the focused type test and confirm it passes.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the contract-only change.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git add crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/types.ts crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/types.test.ts
+  git commit -m "Extend GPT diagnostics request contracts"
+  ```
+
+### Task 2: Correct response-gated `slotOnload` attribution, then add request intents
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing normal early-load regression test.**
+
+  In `store.test.ts`, create exactly one response-bearing request cycle, call `recordSlotOnload` before `recordSlotRenderEnded`, then render it. Assert the unique cycle receives `loadAtMs` and `loadObservedBeforeRender: true`; `durations.renderToLoadMs` is absent; `incompleteSequence` remains `false`; and no `slotOnload` `invalid_event_order` issue exists.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing ambiguity and no-response guard tests.**
+
+  Assert `slotOnload` remains unmatched when no candidate has `responseAtMs`, and remains ambiguous when two compatible response-bearing, not-yet-loaded cycles exist. Keep the existing unmatched/ambiguous coverage equation and do not change it merely to accept early loads.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the focused early-load tests and confirm they fail.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because the current matcher requires a render and marks early load as unmatched.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the smallest response-gated matcher change.**
+
+  Select only cycles with `responseAtMs !== undefined` and no prior load, whether or not render has occurred. When load precedes render, set `loadObservedBeforeRender: true` without an invalid-event-order issue or incomplete flag. When a later render arrives, preserve that flag and deliberately omit `renderToLoadMs`; retain the existing valid render-before-load duration, and leave ambiguity handling unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the focused early-load tests and confirm they pass.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS, including normal render-before-load and callback-coverage cases.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add failing classification and consumption tests.**
+
+  Cover TS-only, Prebid-only, publisher-only, every two-source combination, all three sources, repeated same-source recording, no evidence, and one-shot consumption. Assert the consumed intent ID is strictly increasing and only present when evidence existed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run the focused intent classification test and confirm it fails.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because marker-only storage cannot represent publisher evidence or a single consumed intent ID.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Implement minimal intent classification and one-shot consumption.**
+
+  Add the intent map and recording methods described below, consume the complete intent in `slotRequested`, and classify only from its source set. Do not implement expiry metadata until the next red test is in place.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Run the focused intent classification test and confirm it passes.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 10: Add failing expiry/metadata tests.**
+
+  Use injected `now` and `defer` to prove: each source has an independent five-second timer; expiry of one source retains another; stale deferred generations cannot remove a replacement or unrelated source; a final expiry deletes the intent; repeated TS evidence replaces timestamp/opportunity/auction ID; and an omitted replacement auction ID clears a stale one. Test trimmed non-empty UTF-8 values up to 256 bytes are retained; empty, whitespace-only, non-string, and over-256-byte IDs are omitted without discarding TS evidence.
+
+- [ ] **Step 11: Run the focused expiry/metadata test and confirm it fails.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because the first intent implementation does not yet perform independent generation-safe expiry or auction-ID normalization.
+
+- [ ] **Step 12: Implement independent expiry and Trusted Server metadata.**
+
+  Replace `pendingTrustedServerOpportunities` and `pendingPrebidRefreshes` with a single `WeakMap<object, PendingRequestIntent>` and diagnostic-only monotonic `nextRequestIntentId`. Keep Trusted Server slot association for the existing creative-attempt flow, but record its next-request source into the intent. Add an internal-only `recordPublisherRefresh(slots)` used by the observer.
+
+  ```ts
+  type RequestIntentSource =
+    | 'trusted_server_direct'
+    | 'prebid_refresh'
+    | 'publisher_refresh';
+
+  interface PendingSourceEvidence {
+    generation: number;
+    observedAtMs: number;
+    trustedServerOpportunity?: GptDiagnosticsTrustedServerOpportunity;
+    trustedServerAuctionId?: string;
+  }
+
+  interface PendingRequestIntent {
+    intentId: number;
+    sources: Map<RequestIntentSource, PendingSourceEvidence>;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  On each recording, create or augment one intent without resetting other sources; increment only that source generation, schedule only that source expiry, and compare both intent identity and generation before deletion. Derive `opportunityToRequestMs` only from valid non-negative Trusted Server observation time. Do not call GPT or publisher code from store recording.
+
+- [ ] **Step 13: Run the focused expiry/metadata test and confirm it passes.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 14: Add failing replacement tests.**
+
+  Build cycles through the public store methods. Verify a non-empty current render selects the most recent earlier retained non-empty render, stores its request number and valid render-to-current-request duration, carries prior creative ID, reports `creativeChanged: true`/`false` only with two GPT creative IDs, skips current/previous empty cycles, and creates no relation after the prior cycle is evicted.
+
+- [ ] **Step 15: Run the focused replacement test and confirm it fails.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because current cycles do not yet report replacement facts.
+
+- [ ] **Step 16: Implement replacement derivation at current non-empty render.**
+
+  When `recordSlotRenderEnded` receives `isEmpty === false`, scan the already retained earlier cycles in reverse request order. Never maintain separate history or mutate an earlier cycle. Set fields only for a prior non-empty `renderAtMs`; calculate `previousRenderToRequestMs` from that prior render to this cycle's `requestedAtMs` using the existing valid-duration helper.
+
+- [ ] **Step 17: Run the focused replacement test and confirm it passes.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS, including existing retention and creative-attempt cases.
+
+- [ ] **Step 18: Commit the store behavior.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git add crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.ts crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/store.test.ts
+  git commit -m "Correlate GPT request intents and replacements"
+  ```
+
+### Task 3: Safely expose the optional Trusted Server auction ID
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing API forwarding/no-throw tests.**
+
+  Assert the controller forwards four arguments unchanged to the store, and that a throwing store remains a no-op to the caller. Update fake store interfaces to reflect the optional fourth argument.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write failing `adInit` tests.**
+
+  Give an `AuctionBidData` fixture `hb_auction_id: 'auction-123'` and assert `recordTrustedServerOpportunity(slot, auctionSlotId, opportunity, 'auction-123')`. Retain the three-argument expectation when the metadata is absent, and retain delivery behavior when diagnostics throws.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the focused API and ad-init tests and confirm they fail.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because the optional parameter is not forwarded.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement pass-through only.**
+
+  Update API/store interfaces and the API callback to accept/pass `trustedServerAuctionId`. In GPT `adInit`, conditionally call the diagnostics method with four arguments only when `bid.hb_auction_id` is present; otherwise preserve the existing three-argument call (do not append an explicit `undefined`). Keep the existing `try/catch` boundary and do no client-side auction-ID validation beyond the store's diagnostic normalization.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the focused tests and confirm they pass.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/api.test.ts test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit the API and GPT forwarding change.**

+### Task 4: Add the standalone fail-open publisher refresh observer
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/index.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing observer tests for explicit and bare refreshes.**
+
+  Extend the controlled PubAds fake with `refresh` and `getSlots`. Assert an external explicit call records exactly its valid object identities; a bare call obtains exactly the concrete valid `getSlots()` identities; malformed values and throwing `getSlots` record nothing but delegate. Assert repeated `install()` does not double-wrap.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing transparency/fail-open tests.**
+
+  Parameterize zero arguments, one explicit `undefined`, and two arguments. For each, assert original receiver and slot/options identities, result, synchronous throw, and exactly-one invocation are preserved. Add throwing/malformed diagnostics-store and context-read cases that still delegate exactly once.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the focused observer/runtime tests and confirm they fail.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/index.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because no refresh observer is installed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement one observer-owned wrapper in the existing `googletag.cmd` callback.**
+
+  Expand the observer's narrow PubAds type only as needed. After six listener registrations, install an idempotent refresh wrapper around the currently installed `pubads.refresh`, isolated in its own `try/catch` so failure cannot affect listener installation. Use `function (...args)` plus `Reflect.apply(originalRefresh, this, args)` to preserve call shape. Before delegation, derive slots only for diagnostics; skip publisher intent if `window.tsjs?.adInitRefreshInProgress` or the Prebid dispatch-context reader says active; then delegate once regardless of diagnostics errors.
+
+  Do not add GPT listeners, invoke GPT, alter `refresh` options, or use slot IDs/targeting to infer a source. Keep any wrapper sentinel private to the observer and compatible with the Prebid wrapper installed later.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Install the diagnostics observer before Prebid can wrap it.**
+
+  Preserve runtime idempotency in `index.ts`; ensure the observer queues through diagnostics' existing `googletag.cmd` setup, with no coupling to RC, July handoff, APS, or slot-handoff code.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the focused observer/runtime tests and confirm they pass.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/index.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit the standalone observer.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git add crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/{observer,index}.ts crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/{observer,index}.test.ts
+  git commit -m "Observe publisher GPT refresh intent"

+
+### Task 5: Make nested Prebid refreshes Prebid-only with synchronous context
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/prebid/index.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing nested-wrapper integration tests.**
+
+  Install the diagnostics observer first, then `installRefreshHandler`. Assert Prebid's delegated explicit and bare refreshes record Prebid intent and do not record publisher intent merely from nesting; `adInitRefreshInProgress` records neither. Assert context restoration after return and synchronous throw, including a throwing context accessor.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run targeted Prebid and observer tests and confirm they fail.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because the observer sees the nested call as publisher-originated.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add a minimal synchronous diagnostic dispatch context.**
+
+  Use the shared `window.tsjs?.prebidRefreshDispatchInProgress` declared on `TsjsApi`, not a private module variable or bundle-specific cast. Set it only around each actual `originalRefresh` delegation for which `recordPrebidRefreshForDiagnostics(targetSlots)` ran; defensively read any prior value, restore that exact value (or remove the property if it was absent) in `finally`, including on synchronous throw. The observer defensively reads this same optional property. Context setup/read/restore failures must not change Prebid auction timing, GPT call count, targeting, watchdog behavior, return, or thrown error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run targeted Prebid and observer tests and confirm they pass.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/prebid/index.test.ts test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/observer.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the Prebid context change.**

+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs` (`creative_opportunities_tests` and `page_bids_no_match_tests`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing initial-document and page-bids Rust tests.**
+
+  Construct a deterministic `AuctionRequest` ID and one winning bid. Assert the initial generated `tsjs.bids` payload and the `/_ts/page-bids` JSON response contain `hb_auction_id` only on the winning bid, equal to that request ID. Assert no entry appears when there is no winning bid; do not assert or add targeting effects.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused publisher tests and confirm they fail.**
+
+  Run: `cargo test-fastly publisher::tests::creative_opportunities_tests -- --nocapture && cargo test-fastly publisher::tests::page_bids_no_match_tests -- --nocapture`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because `build_bid_map` has no request-ID input or `hb_auction_id` output.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Thread only the optional opaque ID through the two existing response paths.**
+
+  Change `build_bid_map` and `write_bids_to_state` to accept `Option<&str>` (or `Option<&AuctionRequest>` and borrow its `String` ID at the final call) because `AuctionRequest.id` is already a `String`. Insert `"hb_auction_id": Value::String(auction_id.to_owned())` only while serializing an existing winning-bid object. Pass the same current request ID from the initial collection flow and `handle_page_bids`; do not derive a second ID, add it to `Bid`, expose any request payload, or touch APS/RC/JULY data.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run focused Rust tests and confirm they pass.**
+
+  Run: `cargo test-fastly publisher::tests::creative_opportunities_tests -- --nocapture && cargo test-fastly publisher::tests::page_bids_no_match_tests -- --nocapture`
+
+  Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the metadata-only Rust change.**
+
+  ```bash

+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts`
+- Modify: `docs/guide/integrations/gpt-diagnostics.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing overlay tests.**
+
+  Assert labels for Publisher refresh and all existing paths. For populated facts, assert exactly: `Request intent: 7`, `Trusted Server auction: auction-123`, `Opportunity → request 24 ms`, `Replaced rendered request 1 after 6048 ms`, and creative changed/unchanged wording. Assert missing/one-sided creative IDs omit comparison, and `slotContentChanged` remains independently visible.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused overlay test and confirm it fails.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts`
+
+  Expected: FAIL because publisher/replacement/correlation facts are not rendered.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement conditional factual labels.**
+
+  Add the `publisher_refresh` request-path label and append only defined, valid fields. Use existing millisecond formatting; never render `unknown changed`, infer a source, or reinterpret `slotContentChanged` as a creative transition.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update the guide in the same commit.**
+
+  Replace marker wording with request-intent semantics and the three-source classification table. Document independent five-second source expiry, opaque bounded auction-ID validation, opportunity latency, publisher boundary limits, and shared Prebid dispatch-context behavior. Document the deployed `slotOnload` correction precisely: a unique response-bearing cycle can observe load before render; it records `loadObservedBeforeRender`, omits `renderToLoadMs`, and is neither incomplete nor an invalid event order; overlapping response-bearing candidates remain ambiguous. Document observed replacement/creative semantics and export privacy. Retain explicit caveats: no source inference, no winner proof, no payload/markup/targeting capture, no behavior change, and bypassed stale refresh references remain unattributed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run focused overlay test and docs formatting.**
+
+  Run: `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run test/integrations/gpt_diagnostics/overlay.test.ts && cd ../../../docs && npm run format`

+Each source in a per-slot request intent lives for five seconds and is consumed once.
+Sources expire independently: re-observing one source cannot extend another source's
+window. Their expiry means the observation was too old to associate, not that either
+path did or did not own a later request. Because documented GPT callbacks expose no request token,
 `competing` is a warning about possible competition, not a conclusion about which
 values were sent or selected.
 
+The publisher-refresh observer delegates exactly once with the original receiver,
+arguments, result, and synchronous throw. Bare `refresh()` calls use GPT's current
+slot list only for diagnostics. A stale refresh function reference captured before
+installation bypasses that boundary and remains `unattributed`. Prebid sets a scoped,
+synchronous diagnostics context while delegating its own refresh, so nesting does not
+mislabel a Prebid refresh as `competing`. Diagnostics never suppresses or changes a
+GPT request.
+
+For a direct observation, the optional opaque auction ID is retained only after
+trimming to a non-empty value no longer than 256 UTF-8 bytes. No auction payload,
+targeting map, bid price, markup, network body, or stack trace is exported. The
+reported opportunity-to-request duration is browser-observed only and is omitted for
+invalid or negative timing.
+
+When a non-empty render follows a later request for the same retained GPT slot, the
+console can report the most recent earlier non-empty render it replaces. This is an
+observed callback relationship, not proof that pixels changed. GPT-provided creative
+IDs are compared only when both cycles provide IDs; `slotContentChanged` remains a
+separate GPT fact.
+
 For the direct path, `adInit` records one opportunity:
 
 | Opportunity              | Meaning                                                                                                                    |

Subject: [PATCH 245/494] Close the hb_adid fallback gaps found in review
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Carry bid_id through adserver_mock mediation. The reconstruction restored
nurl, burl, ad_id and the cache fields from the original SSP bid but
hard-coded bid_id to None, so a mediated bid whose only hb_adid source is
the OpenRTB bid id lost it and never rendered — the exact failure this
branch fixes, re-opened on the mediated path. Mediated APS bids were
worse off still: they carry no ad_id or cache_id for the restore to
recover, so they reached the page with no hb_adid at all. The mediation
response is itself OpenRTB, so prefer the mediated bid's own id and fall
back to the original SSP bid's.

Reject blank identity strings before applying the cache_id -> ad_id ->
bid_id precedence. Option::or treats Some("") as present, so a blank
cacheId or adid outranked a valid bid id and emitted an empty hb_adid —
falsey on the page, so GPT skips the targeting key and the render bridge
has nothing to match. Prebid's parse_bid likewise treats an empty
OpenRTB id as absent.

Emit hb_cache_host and hb_cache_path only alongside a real Prebid Cache
UUID. PBS reports the cache url and cacheId independently, so a bid with
coordinates but no UUID pointed the Universal Creative at
?uuid=<non-cache-id>, a guaranteed miss, instead of letting it fall
through to the inline adm.

Warn when the chosen hb_adid exceeds GAM's 40-character targeting value
limit. GAM drops an over-long value, so the creative echoes nothing and
the bridge's equality check never matches. Log rather than truncate: a
truncated id is no longer unique per bid, which is what lets one slot's
render claim another slot's creative.

 ### Fixed
 
 - Protocol-relative creative URLs now honor `rewrite.exclude_domains`, so excluded creative assets stay direct and excluded absolute or protocol-relative URLs submitted to `/first-party/sign` are rejected.
-- Server-side ad template bids now always carry `hb_adid` in `window.tsjs.bids`. Bidders that return neither a Prebid Cache UUID nor an `adid` previously produced no `hb_adid` at all, so no `hb_adid` GPT targeting key was set and the Universal Creative render bridge had nothing to match — the winning creative never rendered. The OpenRTB bid `id`, which is mandatory per spec, is now the last-resort source; `cache_id` and `adid` still take priority where present.

 Auction traffic at `/auction` is protected by default.
 
+### IP-excluded client-side tag behavior
+
+On the Fastly adapter, a request that matches an IP-based DataDome exclusion
+also omits Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side DataDome tag
+from processed HTML. This keeps the client-side layer consistent with the
+server-side Protection API skip.
+
+This behavior applies to:
+
+- `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`;
+- `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`;
+- structured `ip_cidr` rules; and
+- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules.
+
+ASN, method, path, query-parameter, static-asset, and internal-route
+exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side tag. DataDome tags
+already present in publisher HTML are not removed or changed by this behavior,
+and `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available when requested directly.
+
+Because the processed HTML differs by client IP, tag-suppressed HTML is marked
+`private, max-age=0` and removed from shared surrogate caches. The decision is
+reported in the existing protection log, for example:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
 ### Structured exclusion rules
 
 Use structured rules for all DataDome protection exclusions. Each rule has an `id`, optional `methods`, and a typed matcher. The default configuration includes a `path_regex` rule for common static assets.

+# DataDome IP-excluded client tag suppression — Implementation Plan
+
+> **Status:** Approved for implementation
+>
+> **For implementers:** Work task by task and keep the workspace buildable.
+> Follow `CLAUDE.md`: use target-matched Cargo aliases, do not use bare
+> workspace tests, and do not add an internal HTTP header for request state.
+
+**Goal:** When Fastly's authoritative client IP matches a DataDome IP exclusion,
+skip the Protection API call and omit only Trusted Server's automatically
+injected DataDome client tag from every processed HTML response.
+
+**Issue:** #994
+**Design:**
+`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag-design.md`
+

+
+The Fastly-only scope means that other adapters receive the default
+non-suppressed value. Do not add a configuration option and do not modify their
+request-filter wiring.
+
+## Runtime contracts
+
+1. **Trusted identity source:** determine exclusion from
+   `RuntimeServices::client_info().client_ip`, never a caller-provided header.
+2. **Single evaluation:** use the existing `ProtectionScope` decision. Do not
+   evaluate CIDRs a second time while injecting HTML; this avoids diverging
+   Config Store/cache behavior.
+3. **Private marker:** communicate the decision with a typed request extension,
+   never a request/response header. The marker cannot leak to the origin or
+   client.
+4. **Precise scope:** tag suppression is keyed only on decision reasons
+   `client_ip`, `client_ip_source`, `ip_cidr`, and `ip_cidr_source`.
+5. **Cache safety:** an HTML response with the tag omitted differs by client IP.
+   A suppressed processed HTML response must be `private, max-age=0` and have
+   `Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` removed. Do not alter
+   cache headers when the response is not processed HTML, because this feature
+   does not alter that body.
+6. **No behavior drift:** DataDome proxy endpoints, response-header effects,
+   `rewrite_sdk`, and DataDome tags that were already in origin HTML retain
+   their current behavior.

+## Task 1: Make the request-filter input capable of private annotations
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+- Test: its existing `#[cfg(test)]` module
+
+The current `RequestFilterInput` holds `&Request<EdgeBody>`. Change it to hold
+`&mut Request<EdgeBody>` so a request filter can add a typed extension. This is
+the narrowest safe transport because the registry already has exclusive mutable
+access to the request while it invokes each filter.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a regression test for an extension-producing filter.** Create
+      a test-only zero-sized marker and filter that writes it to
+      `input.request.extensions_mut()`. Run `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`
+      and assert the original mutable request has the marker afterward. In the
+      same test, verify normal `RequestFilterEffects` still apply their request
+      header mutation and return their response header mutation.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Change `RequestFilterInput::request` to a mutable borrow.** Keep
+      the `IntegrationRequestFilter` method signature and `RequestFilterEffects`
+      unchanged.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`.** Pass its existing
+      `&mut Request` directly to each `RequestFilterInput`. Keep the ordering:
+      filter mutation first, then registry-applied request-header effects, then
+      the next filter.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update all direct filter tests and test filters.** Calls that build
+      `RequestFilterInput` must construct a mutable request and pass
+      `request: &mut request`. Read-only filters should continue to compile by
+      simply not mutating the request.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly integrations::registry
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** a filter can retain a typed marker for downstream route handling
+without emitting a synthetic `x-*` header, and existing header effects retain
+their behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Mark IP-based DataDome exclusions and log the outcome
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+- Reuse: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection_scope.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a crate-private marker in `datadome.rs`.** Define a
+      zero-sized type with a behavior-oriented name, such as
+      `DataDomeClientTagSuppressed`. It must be visible to `publisher.rs` and
+      `protection.rs` through `pub(crate)`, but must not be exported as public
+      integration configuration or API.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add an IP-reason predicate beside protection logging.** Centralize
+      the exact four eligible scope reasons in one helper:
+
+```rust
+matches!(reason, "client_ip" | "client_ip_source" | "ip_cidr" | "ip_cidr_source")
+```
+
+      Do not infer eligibility from rule ID: Config Store source rule IDs are
+      operator-configured strings.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make `filter_protection_request` own a mutable input and pass it
+      mutably to `is_request_protected`.** In the existing
+      `ProtectionScopeDecision::Skip` arm:
+
+  1. determine whether the reason is IP-based;
+  2. if so, insert the typed marker into `input.request.extensions_mut()`;
+  3. call the updated skip logger with `client_tag_omitted = true`; and
+  4. return `false` exactly as today so the Protection API is not called.
+
+     Do not set the marker for the early method/integration/internal-route
+     returns. Do not set it when the API call returns a fail-open error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `log_protection_skip`.** Keep IP exclusions at `info` and
+      non-IP exclusions at `debug`. For the IP branch, extend the existing
+      structured text after the reason with `client_tag=omitted`; retain rule,
+      reason, method, host, and path, but do not include the client IP. The
+      desired shape is:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add filter-level marker tests.** Add small helpers in the
+      protection test module to build `RuntimeServices` with a fixed client IP,
+      optional Config Store data, and a mutable request. For each case, call
+      `filter_protection_request`, assert it returns `Continue`, and inspect the
+      request extension:
+
+  - inline `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs` match → marker present;
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources` match → marker present;
+  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidr` match → marker present;
+  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidrSource` match → marker present.
+
+    Clear the process-global CIDR-source test cache before and after source
+    tests so cached values cannot affect another case.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add negative filter-level tests.** Assert the marker is absent
+      for a non-matching IP, a configured ASN match, a structured path match,
+      a structured query match, an excluded method, and an internal/integration
+      route. Reuse the existing `ProtectionScope` unit tests for matching
+      semantics; these new tests verify only the new side effect.
+- [ ] **Step 7: Preserve API-call behavior.** For an IP marker test, use an HTTP
+      client double that records calls or errors if called. Assert no Protection
+      API request is sent. This protects against accidentally marking a request
+      while still invoking DataDome.
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly datadome::protection
+cargo test-fastly datadome::protection_scope
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** only the four IP decision reasons add the private marker and
+produce the augmented informational skip log; all other exclusion and fail-open
+paths keep their current tag behavior.

+
+## Task 3: Thread suppression through publisher response processing
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+- Test: `publisher.rs` and `html_processor.rs` test modules
+
+### Data flow to implement
+
+```text
+DataDomeClientTagSuppressed request extension
+  -> bool captured by handle_publisher_request before origin dispatch
+  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
+  -> ProcessResponseParams / HtmlStreamProcessorParams
+  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
+  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
+  -> DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Capture the marker once in `handle_publisher_request`.** Read
+      `req.extensions().get::<DataDomeClientTagSuppressed>().is_some()` before
+      `req` is rewritten and moved into `PlatformHttpRequest`. Store the boolean
+      only in the `PublisherResponse::Stream` parameters, because that is the
+      only response route that passes through HTML injection.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add a boolean to the owned and borrowed publisher-processing
+      parameter structs.** Add a clearly named field such as
+      `suppress_datadome_client_side_tag` to:
+
+  - `OwnedProcessResponseParams`;
+  - `ProcessResponseParams`; and
+  - `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`.
+
+    Pass it through all three existing HTML construction sites:
+
+  - `PublisherBodyProcessor::new` for async buffered processing;
+  - `process_response_streaming` for synchronous processing; and
+  - `stream_publisher_body_async` for the Fastly streaming auction-hold path.
+
+    Every test fixture that constructs `OwnedProcessResponseParams` directly
+    must set `false` unless it explicitly exercises suppression.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `HtmlProcessorConfig`.** Add the same boolean, default it
+      to `false` in `from_settings`, and add a narrow builder method used by
+      `create_html_stream_processor`. Update direct `HtmlProcessorConfig`
+      fixtures and the benchmark fixture to set `false` explicitly.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extend `IntegrationHtmlContext`.** Add the boolean as immutable
+      request-scoped context. Populate it at both construction sites in
+      `html_processor.rs`:
+
+  - the streaming `<head>` element handler; and
+  - `HtmlWithPostProcessing::process_chunk` for full-document post-processors.
+
+    Update every test helper that constructs `IntegrationHtmlContext` to set
+    `false` by default.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add plumbing tests.**
+
+  - `HtmlProcessorConfig::from_settings` defaults to non-suppressed.
+  - A test head injector records the context flag and sees `true` when a config
+    is built with suppression.
+  - A `publisher.rs` route test inserts the DataDome marker into a request,
+    receives a processable HTML `PublisherResponse::Stream`, and verifies the
+    owned parameters carry `true`.
+  - A buffered and a streaming-body path both preserve `true` to head injection.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly html_processor
+cargo test-fastly publisher
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** the decision is read once from a private request extension and
+is available to every head injector for every processed HTML response, including
+Fastly's streaming path.
+

+
+## Task 4: Omit only Trusted Server's injected DataDome tag
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs` or `publisher.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a direct head-injector regression test.** With a client-side
+      key configured and `ctx.suppress_datadome_client_side_tag = true`, assert
+      `head_inserts()` returns an empty vector. The same config with `false`
+      must still return exactly one snippet containing both `window.ddjskey` and
+      the configured tag URL.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement the guard as the first condition in
+      `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts`.** Return an empty vector when the
+      context flag is true; otherwise retain all current serialization,
+      escaping, blank-key, and `inject_client_side_tag` behavior unchanged.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add an end-to-end HTML pipeline test.** Configure the DataDome
+      integration with a client-side key, process representative HTML with
+      suppression enabled, and assert the result contains neither:
+
+```text
+window.ddjskey=
+/integrations/datadome/tags.js
+```
+
+      Repeat with suppression disabled and assert both appear.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Pin publisher-originated-tag behavior.** Feed origin HTML that
+      contains a DataDome `tags.js` element. With suppression enabled, assert
+      that element remains in output and is rewritten by `rewrite_sdk` exactly
+      as before. This distinguishes automatic injection from origin markup.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Pin direct route behavior.** Retain or add a DataDome proxy test
+      showing that `GET /integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains registered and
+      fetches/proxies the SDK normally; suppression affects only HTML injection.
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly datadome
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** suppression removes only the generated configuration/script
+pair; nothing removes publisher markup or disables DataDome endpoints.
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Make tag-suppressed processed HTML private
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+
+The automatic tag makes the processed HTML vary by client IP. Cache privacy is
+therefore a correctness and protection requirement, not an optional
+optimization.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a failing cache-privacy test.** Build a `PublisherResponse`
+      with a processable HTML content type, suppression `true`, and cacheable
+      origin headers (`Cache-Control`, `Surrogate-Control`, and
+      `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`). Assert the stream response is:
+
+  - `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0`; and
+  - missing both surrogate cache headers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Apply privacy only in the `ResponseRoute::Stream` HTML arm.**
+      After response classification confirms a processable HTML stream, use the
+      existing per-user ad-stack policy as the model. Do not alter cache headers
+      for CSS, RSC, non-processable pass-through, unsupported encodings, HEAD,
+      204/205/304, or responses without suppression: none has a body variation
+      created by this feature.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add non-regression cache tests.** Verify that:
+
+  - non-suppressed processed HTML keeps its existing cache headers unless
+    another existing policy changes them;
+  - a suppressed CSS/non-HTML stream is not made private by this feature; and
+  - existing ad-stack privacy behavior remains unchanged when both features are
+    active.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run focused tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly publisher
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** a shared cache cannot replay an IP-excluded client's tagless
+HTML to a non-excluded visitor, while unchanged responses retain their existing
+cacheability.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Add Fastly-path regression coverage
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs` tests only if the
+  existing dispatch helpers can exercise the DataDome registry with a stubbed
+  publisher response.
+- Otherwise, document the existing core filter + publisher pipeline tests as
+  the executable behavioral coverage; do not refactor Fastly production code
+  merely to enable a duplicate test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Extend the existing Fastly request-filter dispatch regression
+      test or add a focused equivalent.** Configure a DataDome request filter,
+      insert trusted `ClientInfo` into the request extensions with a matching
+      IP, and confirm the filter runs before publisher routing.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Assert that the routed request retains the private DataDome
+      marker.** The assertion must inspect request extensions or the processed
+      HTML result, not an HTTP header.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Ensure no actual DataDome API call occurs for the matching IP.**
+      Use a recording/failing HTTP client or the existing Fastly test seam.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the non-matching counterpart.** It must not receive the
+      marker and must continue to inject the configured tag when HTML is
+      processed.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run Fastly adapter tests.**
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** the production adapter's actual filter ordering preserves the
+marker from authoritative Fastly client metadata through publisher HTML
+processing. If the current test seam cannot stub a full origin response, retain
+this as focused request-filter-order coverage and rely on Task 3's core
+pipeline tests for body output rather than expanding adapter production code.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Document operator-visible behavior
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
+- Do not modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a subsection adjacent to “Protected traffic” or “Client-side
+      setup.”** State that, on Fastly, an IP exclusion skips the Protection API
+      and suppresses only Trusted Server's automatic DataDome tag injection on
+      processed HTML.
+- [ ] **Step 2: List the four covered IP sources.** Use the exact configuration
+      names and structured rule types.
+- [ ] **Step 3: State the exclusions that do not suppress the client tag.** ASN,
+      method, path, query, static-asset, and internal-route exclusions retain
+      normal auto-injection.
+- [ ] **Step 4: State the limits.** Publisher-originated/manual tags are not
+      removed; `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available; no new
+      configuration is required; and tag-suppressed processed HTML is private
+      to prevent shared-cache replay.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the diagnostic example.** Use an example-only host/IP and
+      include `client_tag=omitted` with rule and reason.
+- [ ] **Step 6: Format-check the changed documentation.**
+
+```bash
+cd docs
+npx prettier --check guide/integrations/datadome.md \
+  superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag-design.md \
+  superpowers/plans/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag.md
+```
+
+**Acceptance:** operators can predict exactly when the tag will be omitted and
+understand that this is an IP-based Fastly behavior, not a general exclusion
+side effect.
+
+---
+
+## Final verification
+
+- [ ] Confirm the working tree contains only the intended core, Fastly-test,
+      guide, spec, and plan changes.
+- [ ] Run formatting.
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+```
+
+- [ ] Run the relevant target-matched test suites.
+
+```bash
+cargo test-fastly
+cargo test-axum
+cargo test-cloudflare
+```
+
+- [ ] Run required lint suites.
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy-fastly
+cargo clippy-axum
+cargo clippy-cloudflare
+```
+
+- [ ] Run the docs check from Task 7.
+- [ ] Review the diff for accidental exposure of the marker as a request or
+      response header, duplicate CIDR evaluation, unintended publisher-tag
+      removal, or shared-cacheable tag-suppressed HTML.
+
+## Deferred acceptance
+
+Do **not** perform live production/browser verification in this change. After
+deployment, the separate testing workflow should verify that a matching
+whitelisted IP receives processed HTML without Trusted Server's
+`/integrations/datadome/tags.js` injection, while an unlisted IP retains it.

+# DataDome IP-excluded client tag suppression
+
+**Issue:** #994
+**Date:** 2026-08-03
+**Status:** Proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Trusted Server has two DataDome protection layers:
+
+1. Server-side Protection API validation, which can be skipped for configured
+   client IP CIDRs.
+2. Client-side tag auto-injection, which adds `window.ddjskey`,
+   `window.ddoptions`, and the configured `tags.js` script to processed HTML.
+
+When a request matches an IP-based server-side exclusion, the Protection API is
+skipped, but the client-side tag is currently still injected. The browser can
+therefore continue running client-side DataDome protection for a request that
+was explicitly whitelisted at Trusted Server.
+
+The desired behavior is that Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based DataDome
+exclusion also omit Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side tag.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Suppress Trusted Server's automatically injected DataDome client-side tag for
+  Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based protection exclusion.
+- Reuse the existing authoritative protection-scope decision.
+- Cover all supported IP-based exclusion mechanisms:
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`
+  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`
+  - structured `ip_cidr` rules
+  - structured `ip_cidr_source` rules
+- Preserve current behavior for non-IP exclusions.
+- Leave publisher-originated or manually configured DataDome tags untouched.
+- Add an informational diagnostic indicating that the client tag is omitted.
+- Keep the implementation independent of caller-supplied IP headers.
+- Prevent a shared cache from replaying IP-specific, tag-suppressed HTML to
+  non-excluded visitors.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not add a configuration flag or make this behavior opt-in.
+- Do not change Axum, Cloudflare, or Spin request-filter wiring. This behavior
+  is intentionally scoped to the Fastly adapter, where the DataDome server-side
+  request filter is currently run.
+- Do not suppress DataDome tags that originate in publisher HTML.
+- Do not remove or disable the `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` route.
+- Do not change DataDome signal-collection proxy behavior.
+- Do not change ASN, path, query-parameter, method, static-asset, or internal
+  route exclusions.
+- Do not perform live production verification as part of implementation.
+
+## Confirmed decisions
+
+1. **Adapter scope:** Fastly only.
+2. **IP scope:** all four IP-based exclusion mechanisms listed above.
+3. **Tag scope:** Trusted Server's auto-injected tag only.
+4. **HTML scope:** every HTML response that enters the existing HTML processing
+   pipeline.
+5. **Logging:** enrich the existing IP-exclusion skip log with
+   `client_tag=omitted`, including the matched rule and reason.
+6. **Live testing:** deferred until after implementation and deployment/testing
+   workflow review.
+
+## Current architecture
+
+### Server-side protection
+
+`DataDomeIntegration::is_request_protected()` in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` evaluates
+method, internal-route, ASN, IP, and structured exclusion conditions. It uses
+the client IP from `RuntimeServices::client_info()`, which is populated from
+trusted Fastly request metadata. It does not use a caller-supplied IP header.
+
+The current function reduces the protection-scope result to a boolean. For an
+IP exclusion it logs the skip and returns `false`, causing the request filter to
+continue without calling the Protection API.
+
+The Fastly EdgeZero fallback path runs this request filter before route
+selection and publisher proxying. The request continues into
+`handle_publisher_request()` after the filter returns a continue decision.
+
+### Client-side injection
+
+`DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()` in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` emits the client-side
+snippet when:
+
+- `inject_client_side_tag` is true; and
+- `client_side_key` is non-empty.
+
+The injector currently receives `IntegrationHtmlContext`, which contains HTML
+host/scheme and document state but no request IP or protection decision.
+
+The publisher response path carries request-specific values through:
+
+```text
+Request
+  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
+  -> HtmlStreamProcessorParams
+  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
+  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
+  -> IntegrationHeadInjector
+```
+
+The existing DataDome attribute rewriter separately rewrites DataDome URLs
+found in publisher HTML. That behavior must remain unchanged.
+
+## Design
+
+### 1. Capture an IP-exclusion marker at the request filter
+
+The request filter must attach a typed, internal request-scoped marker when the
+existing protection-scope evaluation returns a skip for one of these reasons:
+
+- `client_ip`
+- `client_ip_source`
+- `ip_cidr`
+- `ip_cidr_source`
+
+The marker must be attached only after the existing scope decision confirms the
+IP exclusion. It must not be inferred from request headers or recomputed later
+in the HTML pipeline.
+
+The request-filter API currently exposes an immutable request view. Add the
+smallest internal mechanism needed for a filter to attach a typed request
+extension without introducing a caller-visible header. Header mutations should
+continue to use `RequestFilterEffects` as they do today.
+
+The marker should be a zero-sized or otherwise minimal internal type. It only
+needs to answer whether Trusted Server's DataDome client tag should be
+suppressed; the existing skip log supplies the rule ID and reason.
+
+The marker must not be attached for:
+
+- `OPTIONS` or other excluded methods before scope evaluation;
+- internal or integration routes;
+- ASN exclusions;
+- path, query, or other non-IP structured exclusions;
+- unmatched IP rules;
+- Protection API fail-open behavior; or
+- requests where `enable_protection` is false and the request filter does not
+  run.
+
+### 2. Enrich the existing skip log
+
+For IP-based skips, extend the existing informational log with
+`client_tag=omitted`:
+
+```text
+[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET host=example.com path=/page
+```
+
+The existing rule ID, reason, and request metadata remain part of the log.
+Client IP values are not included. Non-IP skip logs retain their current
+behavior and level.
+
+This log represents the request policy decision. It may also apply to a
+non-HTML response, for which no HTML tag would have been injected anyway.
+
+### 3. Propagate the marker into HTML processing
+
+Before the publisher request is moved into the platform HTTP client, snapshot
+whether the request carries the marker. Carry that request-scoped boolean
+through `OwnedProcessResponseParams`, `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`, and
+`HtmlProcessorConfig`.
+
+The value should default to `false` in all existing constructors and direct
+unit-test fixtures. Non-Fastly adapters will naturally retain the default
+because they do not currently produce the Fastly request-filter marker.
+
+Expose the value to head injectors through the existing HTML processing context
+or equivalent request-scoped integration context. The propagation must work for
+both:
+
+- the normal buffered HTML path; and
+- the streaming HTML path, including the auction-hold path.
+
+The value is irrelevant for non-HTML, RSC, pass-through, and unmodified
+responses, which should retain their current processing.
+
+### 4. Keep IP-specific HTML out of shared cache
+
+A processed HTML response differs by client IP when the generated tag is
+suppressed. In the `PublisherResponse::Stream` path, when suppression is active
+and the response is HTML, set `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0` and remove
+`Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` before the body is streamed.
+
+This matches the existing per-user ad-stack cache policy. It prevents Fastly or
+another shared cache from replaying a tag-suppressed response to a visitor whose
+IP does not match an exclusion. Do not change cache headers for non-HTML,
+pass-through, or unmodified responses because their output does not vary by this
+feature.
+
+### 5. Suppress only the generated DataDome snippet
+
+At the start of `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()`:
+
+1. Check the request-scoped suppression marker.
+2. If present, return no DataDome head inserts.
+3. Otherwise preserve the current `inject_client_side_tag` and
+   `client_side_key` checks and emit the existing snippet unchanged.
+
+When suppression is active, omit both:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  window.ddjskey=...;window.ddoptions=...;
+</script>
+<script src="/integrations/datadome/tags.js" async></script>
+```
+
+Do not alter:
+
+- publisher-originated DataDome script tags;
+- `rewrite_sdk` behavior;
+- the DataDome SDK proxy route;
+- the signal collection API proxy;
+- DataDome configuration serialization for non-suppressed requests; or
+- injection behavior for requests without the marker.
+
+## Testing plan
+
+### Protection-filter tests
+
+Add or extend tests in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` to verify
+that the marker is attached for:
+
+- a matching inline IPv4 CIDR;
+- a matching Config Store-backed CIDR source;
+- a matching structured `ip_cidr` rule; and
+- a matching structured `ip_cidr_source` rule.
+
+Verify that the marker is absent for:
+
+- a non-matching IP;
+- an ASN exclusion;
+- a path exclusion;
+- a query-parameter exclusion;
+- an excluded method; and
+- an internal or integration route.
+
+Verify the existing protection behavior remains unchanged: IP-matched requests
+continue without a Protection API call.
+
+### Head-injector tests
+
+Add tests in
+`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` verifying that:
+
+- a configured client tag is omitted when suppression is active;
+- a configured client tag is emitted when suppression is inactive;
+- a blank client-side key remains a no-op; and
+- `inject_client_side_tag = false` remains a no-op.
+
+### HTML pipeline tests
+
+Add coverage for the request-scoped value flowing through the HTML processor,
+including the streaming path. Confirm that a suppressed processed HTML response
+contains neither the injected `window.ddjskey` configuration nor the configured
+DataDome `tags.js` script. For a suppressed HTML stream, assert the response is
+private and has no surrogate cache headers. Confirm a non-suppressed HTML stream
+retains its origin cache behavior.
+
+Confirm that publisher-originated DataDome tags remain in the output and are
+still rewritten according to the existing `rewrite_sdk` behavior.
+
+### Fastly dispatch tests
+
+Add a Fastly adapter dispatch test with:
+
+- DataDome protection enabled;
+- a client IP matching an inline exclusion;
+- a configured client-side key; and
+- an HTML publisher response.
+
+The test should verify that the request continues without a Protection API
+call, the response includes the `client_tag=omitted` decision log through the
+existing test logging seam where available, and the generated tag is absent.
+
+Also cover a non-excluded request to confirm the generated tag remains present.
+
+## Documentation changes
+
+Update `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md` to state that IP-excluded Fastly
+requests skip both:
+
+- server-side Protection API validation; and
+- Trusted Server's automatic client-side tag injection.
+
+Document that this does not remove or disable publisher-originated DataDome
+tags, and that non-IP exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side
+tag.
+
+No configuration template changes are required because this behavior has no
+new setting.
+
+## Files expected to change
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
+  - Support the internal request-scoped annotation mechanism.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
+  - Define the marker and conditionally suppress head injection.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
+  - Attach the marker for IP-based scope skips and enrich the skip log.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs` or the relevant
+  HTML context definition
+  - Carry the suppression decision into head injection.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`
+  - Carry the request-scoped value into HTML integration context.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+  - Snapshot and propagate the request marker through response processing.
+- `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
+  - Document the behavior.
+- Relevant unit and Fastly adapter test modules.
+
+The exact split between registry request annotations and HTML context plumbing
+should remain minimal and should not introduce a new public configuration API.
+
+## Verification
+
+Implementation verification should use the repository's target-matched
+commands:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo test-fastly
+cargo test-axum
+cargo test-cloudflare
+cargo clippy-fastly
+cargo clippy-axum
+cargo clippy-cloudflare
+```
+
+No live production validation is required for this implementation task. Live
+browser verification will be performed later through the deployment/testing
+workflow.

-### IP-excluded client-side tag behavior
+### Staging test bypass
+
+For short-lived browser automation on an access-controlled staging site, you
+can configure a static header credential that skips only the server-side
+Protection API:
+
+```toml
+[integrations.datadome.protection_test_bypass]
+enabled = true
+header_name = "x-ts-datadome-test-bypass"
+credential = "temporary-test-credential"
+```
+
+`protection_test_bypass` requires `enable_protection = true`; it is disabled
+when omitted. Treat the credential as a temporary secret: configure it only
+while needed, protect the site with an outer access control such as Basic Auth,
+and remove the section when testing finishes. Do not enable it in production.
+
+A matching header is compared in constant time, removed before the request can
+reach DataDome or the publisher origin, and never logged. With Playwright,
+apply it to the browser context:
+
+```ts
+await context.setExtraHTTPHeaders({
+  "X-TS-DataDome-Test-Bypass": process.env.DATADOME_TEST_BYPASS!,
+});
+```
+
+### Client-side tag suppression behavior
 
 On the Fastly adapter, a request that matches an IP-based DataDome exclusion
-also omits Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side DataDome tag
-from processed HTML. This keeps the client-side layer consistent with the
-server-side Protection API skip.
+or the configured test-bypass credential also omits Trusted Server's
+automatically injected client-side DataDome tag from processed HTML. This keeps
+the client-side layer consistent with the server-side Protection API skip.
 
 This behavior applies to:
 
 - `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`;
 - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`;
-- structured `ip_cidr` rules; and
-- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules.
+- structured `ip_cidr` rules;
+- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules; and
+- a matching enabled `protection_test_bypass` credential.
 
 ASN, method, path, query-parameter, static-asset, and internal-route
 exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side tag. DataDome tags
 already present in publisher HTML are not removed or changed by this behavior,
 and `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available when requested directly.
 
-Because the processed HTML differs by client IP, tag-suppressed HTML is marked
-`private, max-age=0` and removed from shared surrogate caches. The decision is
-reported in the existing protection log, for example:

+      major. Upgrade TypeScript to the newest stable release supported by the newest
+      `typescript-eslint`; do not install a newer TypeScript that its parser explicitly
+      excludes. Keep `@types/node` on the repository's pinned Node major.
+
+  `prebid.js` is the one explicit package exception: pin it to exactly `10.26.0`, as
+  required by this design's external pure-Prebid artifact contract. Do not use this
+  task to adopt Prebid 11 or change the selected Prebid modules. If the latest ESLint
+  major is incompatible with the unmaintained `eslint-plugin-import`, migrate the
+  existing import rules to the maintained compatible `eslint-plugin-import-x` rather
+  than holding the rest of the lint toolchain back. Remove redundant direct
+  `@typescript-eslint/parser`/plugin declarations when the used `typescript-eslint`
+  package already owns those exact dependencies.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update direct package ranges and regenerate `package-lock.json` through npm.**
+      Do not hand-edit lock entries. Require a peer-clean `npm ls --all` and a second
+      clean `npm ci` from the generated lock. Treat invalid, missing, or extraneous
+      nodes as failures. Do not run `npm audit fix --force`; audit findings that remain
+      solely behind the mandated Prebid pin are reported, not silently solved by
+      violating the artifact contract.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make only compatibility edits proven necessary by the upgraded tools.** Keep
+      all strict compiler flags and architecture rules enabled. A new compiler/linter
+      diagnostic gets a source fix or a documented, narrow configuration correction;
+      it is not suppressed globally. Production bundle entry points, bundle ids,
+      integration behavior, the APS runner policy, and the Prebid module set must not
+      change in this task.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the upgraded toolchain and every shipped artifact:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ci
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ls --all
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run format
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
+  ```
+
+  Also print the resolved Node, npm, TypeScript, ESLint, Vite, Vitest, and jsdom
+  versions into the task verification evidence. Re-run the external Prebid artifact
+  integration test and prove both `package.json` and the lockfile resolve Prebid
+  `10.26.0` exactly.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the toolchain upgrade as its own rollback boundary.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git add \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package-lock.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/eslint.config.js \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/tsconfig.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/vitest.config.ts
+  git commit -m "chore(tsjs): upgrade the package and TypeScript toolchain"
+  ```
+
+  Add only compatibility files that actually changed to the explicit staging list;
+  do not use broad staging.
+

+Before the coordinated runtime implementation proceeds, the TSJS direct development
+toolchain is upgraded to the newest stable, mutually compatible versions supported
+by the repository-pinned Node major. TypeScript advances to the newest stable release
+inside the latest `typescript-eslint` parser's declared support range; an unsupported
+compiler/parser pairing is not accepted merely to claim a higher version. The
+external artifact dependency remains exactly `prebid.js@10.26.0`, and Node type
+declarations remain on the pinned Node major. Those are explicit compatibility and
+artifact-contract constraints, not permission to leave the rest of the toolchain
+stale. The upgrade must pass a clean `npm ci`, a peer-clean `npm ls --all`, complete
+build/lint/typecheck/tests, and exact Prebid artifact verification.
+
+After that upgrade, the lockfile compiler is the authority. CI runs a checked-in
+`typecheck` script with `strict`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`,

+# Dedicated Server-Side Ad Templates Switch and Cache Policy Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** Implement this plan task-by-task, keeping the dedicated
+> template switch separate from the global auction configuration.
+
+**Goal:** Add an explicit on/off switch for server-side ad templates, while
+retaining the browser-facing cache policy from issue #1007:
+
+- Server-side ad templates active: `Cache-Control: private, no-store`.
+- Server-side ad templates inactive: `Cache-Control: max-age=60`, unless the
+  origin already sends `private` or `no-store`.
+- CDN-specific cache headers must not change when templates are inactive.
+
+**Issue context:** The current cache-policy change uses the runtime
+`should_run_ad_stack` gate. That gate is also affected by `[auction].enabled`,
+which is not the right configuration boundary for publisher templates. A
+browser can call `POST /auction`, and that endpoint is a separate server-run
+auction API. The new switch must disable publisher HTML/page-bids template
+delivery without disabling that API.
+
+## Configuration decision
+
+Add this field to the existing `[creative_opportunities]` section:
+
+```toml
+[creative_opportunities]
+enabled = true
+```
+
+Use `enabled = false` to turn off server-side ad templates while retaining the
+slot definitions and keeping direct `POST /auction` behavior available.
+
+### Compatibility rules
+
+- The field defaults to `true` when omitted, preserving existing behavior for
+  deployments that already have `[creative_opportunities]` configured.
+- The section remains optional. An absent section continues to mean that the
+  feature is unavailable.
+- Serialize the default `true` value as omitted, matching the existing
+  rollback-compatibility pattern for newer creative-opportunity fields. An
+  explicit `false` must remain serialized so the setting is not silently lost.
+- `auction.enabled` remains a separate auction/orchestrator setting. Do not use
+  it as the dedicated template switch and do not thread the new template flag
+  into `POST /auction`.
+
+## Current cache behavior to retain
+
+The existing HTML policy block in `publisher.rs` must remain structurally
+consistent with the current issue #952 behavior:
+
+1. For an eligible request that runs the server-side ad stack and receives HTML:
+   - Set `Cache-Control: private, no-store`.
+   - Remove `ETag` and `Last-Modified`.
+   - Remove `Surrogate-Control`, `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`, `CDN-Cache-Control`,
+     and `Cloudflare-CDN-Cache-Control`.
+2. For HTML where the server-side ad stack does not run, including an explicit
+   template disable:
+   - Read the browser-facing `Cache-Control` header.
+   - If its value contains `private` or `no-store`, case-insensitively, preserve
+     the origin value exactly.
+   - Otherwise set exactly `Cache-Control: max-age=60`.
+   - Leave validators and all CDN-specific cache headers untouched.
+3. Preserve the later adapter response-privacy finalization for cookie-bearing
+   responses; this plan does not refactor that behavior.
+
+## File map
+
+### Configuration and compatibility
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs`
+  - Add `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig::enabled` with a default-true serde
+    implementation and documentation.
+  - Add a small accessor if it improves readability, but keep the source of
+    truth in this config type.
+  - Update config constructors and serialization tests.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs`
+  - Keep `creative_opportunities` parsing and runtime preparation compatible with
+    the new field.
+  - Make `creative_opportunity_slots()` return an empty slice when the section
+    is absent or explicitly disabled, so all adapters receive one consistent
+    runtime view.
+  - Add TOML and environment-override coverage for `enabled = false`.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/config.rs`
+  - Extend legacy-schema tests to prove default `enabled = true` is omitted from
+    serialized blobs and remains readable by older binaries.
+  - Prove an explicit `enabled = false` is serialized, making rollback failure
+    loud rather than silently re-enabling templates.
+- `trusted-server.example.toml`
+  - Document `creative_opportunities.enabled` and show how to turn templates off
+    without deleting slot definitions.
+- `docs/guide/configuration.md`
+  - Add the field to the creative-opportunities reference and document the
+    environment override:
+    `TRUSTED_SERVER__CREATIVE_OPPORTUNITIES__ENABLED=false`.
+  - Clarify that this switch controls publisher HTML/page-bids template
+    delivery, not direct `POST /auction` callers.
+- `CHANGELOG.md`
+  - Add an entry describing the dedicated template switch and cache behavior.
+
+### Publisher execution and cache policy
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
+  - Include the dedicated flag in the initial publisher eligibility decision.
+  - Do not match, dispatch, or inject server-side ad templates when the flag is
+    false, even if slots are configured and `[auction].enabled` is true.
+  - Apply the issue #1007 inactive-HTML cache policy in this state.
+  - Update skip-reason diagnostics/telemetry so `ad_templates_disabled` is
+    distinguishable from `auction_disabled`, consent denial, bots, prefetch, and
+    no matching slots.
+  - Update `handle_page_bids` so an explicit template disable returns the normal
+    empty JSON shape (`slots: []`, `bids: {}`) rather than slot definitions. Keep
+    the current `404` behavior for an absent `[creative_opportunities]` section.
+  - Extend the existing SSAT cache-policy and eligibility tests.
+- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/endpoints.rs`
+  - Do not gate `POST /auction` on the new template flag.
+  - Add a regression test or test fixture proving that disabling
+    `creative_opportunities.enabled` does not suppress a direct auction request
+    when providers are configured.
+  - Separately document/verify the existing behavior of `[auction].enabled` for
+    this endpoint; do not conflate that global setting with the new template
+    switch.
+
+### Adapter propagation and browser behavior
+
+The adapters already pass `Settings::creative_opportunity_slots()` into the
+publisher/page-bids handlers. Update and verify these call sites so the central
+empty-slice behavior is honored; avoid adding four divergent config checks:
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-axum/src/app.rs`
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-cloudflare/src/app.rs`
+- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-spin/src/app.rs`
+
+No route-level flag is needed if the core `Settings` accessor and handlers are
+correct. Add adapter route assertions only where existing fixtures make them
+useful.
+
+The browser runtime already defaults `window.tsjs.adSlots` and
+`window.tsjs.bids` to empty values when the edge does not inject templates. If
+terminology is updated, adjust these comments/tests without changing runtime
+semantics:
+
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/index.ts`
+- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
+- Relevant page-bids tests under `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/`
+
+## Implementation tasks
+
+### Task 1: Add and serialize the dedicated setting
+
+- [ ] Add `enabled: bool` to `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig` with default `true`.
+- [ ] Use `skip_serializing_if` so the default value does not appear in stored
+      config blobs; explicit `false` must serialize.
+- [ ] Update all Rust struct literals in `creative_opportunities.rs` and
+      `publisher.rs` tests.
+- [ ] Add parsing, default, false-value, and environment-override tests.
+- [ ] Update the legacy compatibility tests in `config.rs`.
+
+### Task 2: Thread the setting through publisher eligibility
+
+- [ ] Update `should_run_server_side_ad_stack` to accept the dedicated template
+      flag as an explicit gate, with a descriptive parameter/doc comment.
+- [ ] Ensure initial publisher slot matching and `Settings::creative_opportunity_slots`
+      do not expose slots when templates are disabled.
+- [ ] Preserve the existing `[auction].enabled` and consent gates as separate
+      conditions.
+- [ ] Add an `ad_templates_disabled` diagnostic/telemetry skip reason where the
+      current branch records a skipped auction.
+
+### Task 3: Apply the cache policy to the dedicated-off state
+
+- [ ] Keep the active-SSAT `private, no-store` behavior and validator/CDN header
+      removal unchanged.
+- [ ] Keep the inactive-HTML `max-age=60` behavior from issue #1007.
+- [ ] Verify that explicit template disable changes only browser-facing
+      `Cache-Control` for cacheable HTML; preserve `ETag`, `Last-Modified`, and
+      every CDN-specific header.
+- [ ] Verify that origin `private`, `PRIVATE`, `no-store`, and `No-Store` values
+      remain unchanged.
+
+### Task 4: Gate SPA page-bids/template delivery
+
+- [ ] Include `co_config.enabled` in the `ad_stack_enabled` decision in
+      `handle_page_bids`.
+- [ ] Return empty slots and bids for an explicit disable while retaining the
+      endpoint and its existing response privacy headers.
+- [ ] Keep the absent-section `404` behavior unchanged.
+- [ ] Add tests for enabled, disabled, absent, consent-denied, bot, and prefetch
+      cases as appropriate; preserve existing tests for `[auction].enabled=false`.
+
+### Task 5: Protect direct `POST /auction` from accidental coupling
+
+- [ ] Add a focused endpoint test with `creative_opportunities.enabled=false`
+      and a recording provider.
+- [ ] Assert that the provider still sees the direct auction request and that
+      the response remains a normal OpenRTB response.
+- [ ] If the test reveals that `[auction].enabled=false` also needs a separate
+      product decision for `/auction`, record that as a follow-up rather than
+      changing it as part of the template-switch work.
+
+### Task 6: Update docs, examples, comments, and adapter coverage
+
+- [ ] Update the example config, configuration guide, and changelog.
+- [ ] Update stale comments that call `[auction].enabled` the universal template
+      kill switch.
+- [ ] Verify all four adapter call sites use the centralized disabled-slot view.
+- [ ] Run JS tests if comments or tests are touched; no JS behavior change is
+      expected.
+
+## Test plan
+
+Use target-matched commands; do not run bare workspace tests because the
+workspace contains multiple runtime targets.
+
+- [ ] `cargo test-axum -p trusted-server-core publisher`
+- [ ] `cargo test-fastly`
+- [ ] `cargo test-axum`
+- [ ] `cargo test-cloudflare`
+- [ ] `cargo test-spin`
+- [ ] `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-fastly`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-axum`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-cloudflare`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-spin-native`
+- [ ] `cargo clippy-spin-wasm`
+- [ ] `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run` if JS tests/comments change
+- [ ] `cd docs && npm run format` if documentation formatting is required
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not change CDN-specific cache policy for inactive templates.
+- Do not change adapter response privacy or cookie handling.
+- Do not use `auction.rewrite_creatives` as the template switch; it controls
+  creative URL rewriting, not whether the server-side template stack runs.
+- Do not gate or disable direct `POST /auction` as part of this feature.
+- Do not remove slot definitions when the switch is off; the point of the switch
+  is to provide a reversible runtime control.

 ### Changed
 
+- Publisher HTML now uses `Cache-Control: max-age=60` when server-side ad templates are inactive, while preserving origin `private`/`no-store` policies and CDN-specific cache headers. Set `[creative_opportunities].enabled = false` to disable publisher HTML and SPA template delivery without disabling direct `POST /auction` callers.
 - **Breaking** — `bid_param_zone_overrides` inner values must now be JSON objects; previously non-object or empty values (`"header" = "x"`, `"header" = {}`) were accepted and silently produced a dead rule at runtime. They now fail at startup with a configuration error. Operators upgrading should audit their `bid_param_zone_overrides` config for non-object zone entries.
 - **Breaking** — Integration configuration strings are no longer globally reinterpreted as JSON scalars. Operators upgrading should audit `[integrations.*]` settings and use native TOML/typed-config booleans and numbers (for example, `enabled = true`, not `enabled = "true"`); quoted numeric and boolean scalars now fail validation instead of silently converting.
 - **Breaking** — Sourcepoint browser module inclusion now requires explicit `[integrations.sourcepoint].enabled = true`; operators relying on the previous unconditional Sourcepoint module should enable the integration before upgrading.

Subject: [PATCH 269/494] Mint a per-auction token for browser-visible auction
 metadata

The winning-bid `hb_auction_id` carried `AuctionRequest.id`, which is
`ts-{ec_id}` whenever an Edge Cookie ID exists. That value reached
`window.tsjs.bids` and the page-bids JSON for every visitor, handing any
script on the page the identifier the `ts-ec` cookie keeps HttpOnly, and
it could not distinguish one auction from the next because it is stable
per visitor.

Mint an unrelated `ts-auc-{uuid}` per auction instead, and emit it only
when the GPT diagnostics integration is enabled, since nothing else
consumes it. `AuctionRequest.id` is unchanged for SSPs.

Subject: [PATCH 270/494] Address review on GPT diagnostics evidence and export
 surface

Keep the operator API read-only: `window.tsjs.gptDiagnostics` now exposes
only snapshot, export, subscribe, show, and hide. The evidence writers
Trusted Server's own modules use move to a separate internal channel,
`window.tsjs.gptDiagnosticsRecorder`, so the documented contract matches
what the object actually offers.

Bound the store's deferred work by retained state rather than refresh
rate. Request-intent evidence now expires lazily when the slot is next
recorded or requested instead of owning a timer per source, which also
removes the WeakRef-absent fallback that strongly retained every marked
slot until expiry. Delivery-boundary notifications share one timer that
re-arms from retained cycles.

Stop reporting a source-agnostic GPT identifier as a reservation. Those
IDs are populated for reservation and backfill alike, so they classify
as `reservation` only alongside an explicit non-backfill fact.

Evict a creative attempt whose cycle rendered empty, so a late markup
response cannot claim a Trusted Server delivery against an empty render,
and label badges from the derived delivery state instead of re-deriving
the precedence rules from raw timestamps.

Also: attribute `refresh(null)`, make the presentation switches
exhaustive, hoist the snapshot out of the subscriber loop so every
subscriber sees one capture, and make the export's attribution fields
required.

Type-check the export contract: the `expectTypeOf` assertions were never
evaluated, and one of them was a genuine error. Scope `test.typecheck`
to the type tests, since a package-wide `tsc --noEmit` still fails on
pre-existing errors elsewhere.

Fix the replacement-after-eviction test, which passed vacuously because
ten open cycles made the final render ambiguous, and cover the paths the
review identified: publisher-refresh malformed input, the association
LRU trim, the out-of-order callback arms, a declined creative attempt,
the Prebid dispatch-context restore arm, and wrapper install ordering.

Correct the operator guide where it contradicted the implementation, and
record the auction-token revision in the design spec.

+The enforceable direct-path binding is to one TS-created native iframe element, its
+unchanged `src` attribute, its browsing-context `WindowProxy`, and the one-use port;
+it is not browser attestation of the active opaque `Document`. Code executing in an
+embedding ancestor realm with DOM/navigation authority is trusted for this one
+navigation-integrity property. Such code can assign
+`iframe.contentWindow.location` without changing the iframe `src`, while the same
+`WindowProxy` survives and the opaque active document's URL and origin remain
+unreadable to the kernel. If it does so before handoff, that replacement document
+can receive the descriptor, nonce, and port and can forge the page-local document
+and completion messages. Native element creation plus exact parent/source/`src`
+checks still reject publisher-supplied frames, node replacement, removal, detectable
+`src` mutation, unrelated contexts, and stale ports; they make no claim about the
+undetectable ancestor-navigation case. APS has no synthetic notification or other
+trusted remote side effect derived from page-local completion.

+Removing that trust boundary requires a separately operated renderer origin, adding

+      listener, wrapper, observer, context provider, or queued continuation. Run each

-    initial HTML/page-bids emit only `tsjs.boot.auctionProjection`;
-  - the immutable initial projection seeds the first `NavigationSession`; every SPA
-    page-bids response validates and commits only to the replacement session's
-    internal projection and never mutates recursively frozen `tsjs.boot`;
-  - projection parsing enforces the exact 256-array/member, identifier, targeting,
-    currency/CPM, reservation, dimension, and canonical 8 MiB bounds before mutation;
-    an over-cap projection converts every otherwise winning decision to
-    `winner_not_renderable`, emits no projected bid, and omits the corresponding
-    `/auction` TS seatbid;
-  - the server emits exact frozen `TsjsBootV1`, `CreativeBootV1`,
-    `DiagnosticsBootV1`, and `BootManifestV1` before core from generated release
-    metadata, after validating every integration config and manifest relationship;
-  - core inertly prepares every required integration in manifest order while no
-    bridge/listener/global mutation is live. Only after all Promises resolve does the
-    same-task synchronous activation barrier install the capture bridge as its first
-    reversible core effect, install correctness GPT listeners, and activate modules
-    in order with monotonic pre/post-call and pre-handoff checks. Failure rolls back
-    every reversible effect; success commits the complete `TsjsApi`, runs staged
-    `afterCommit` callbacks in manifest order, and drains the preload queue;
-  - the preload queue handoff uses the exact real-Array algorithm: capture ingress,
-    install the fixed installing descriptor, snapshot, forward retained ingress
-    pushes, install the frozen final actual Array with own immediate `push` and
-    `length:0`, publish the complete API, run `afterCommit`, then drain snapshot plus
-    forwarded work exactly once. Native/borrowed mutators and retained references
-    cannot retain entries or create a second runtime;
-  - the kernel surface is exactly `TsjsApi` with semantic `version`, exact
-    `releaseId`, immutable `boot`, real `que`, `addAdUnits`, Promise `requestAds`,
-    local `log`, diagnostics, `_registerIntegration`, and frozen status-only
-    `_internal`. Fallback exposes its exact smaller own surface, validates then refuses
-    `addAdUnits`, settles known slots with the committed fallback reason, drains the
-    queue once, and creates no runtime/adapters/listeners/timers/DOM work;
-  - `addAdUnits` transactionally validates and registers programmatic direct-auction
-    slots against the same combined 256-slot cap, exact identifier/bidder/dimension
-    grammar, and collision indexes. Omitted-slot `requestAds` snapshots server and
-    programmatic registrations in ordinal order; later registrations cannot enter an
-    in-flight snapshot;
-  - GPT, Prebid, APS, creative, diagnostics, all remaining integrations, Promise
-    `requestAds`, versioned APS renderer client, and generated bootstrap/fallback
-    switch together on the shared sessions/services and terminal latches;
-  - the external publisher artifact switches as independently useful pure Prebid.js
-    10.26.0 with its own watchdog and frozen artifact stamp; TS admission, render,
-    refresh, targeting, and release matching remain only in the separate Prebid
-    integration module;
-  - all adapters atomically register only the versioned static renderer and
-    unversioned live `/integrations/aps/runner.js` proxy; the abandoned
-    `/integrations/aps/runner/v1.js` and unversioned renderer are local negative
-    routes;
-  - every Rust/JS integration config emitter moves its existing values from
-    scattered `window.__tsjs_*` globals into its exact `tsjs.boot.*` member before
-    the corresponding integration prepares; no integration loses configuration;
-  - accepted artifacts, `WinnerContext`, targeting journals, renderer reservations,
-    GPT physical-object reconciliation, and navigation ownership use the shared
-    services; and
-  - render trace and GPT diagnostics commit only after correctness transitions and
-    expose their exact bounded asynchronous frozen APIs. Creative guards auto-install
-    from frozen boot configuration and both-false guards have zero DOM side effects;
-    and
-  - the real boot/render path records the named `tsjs:bids-script` and
-    `tsjs:first-display` performance marks at their authoritative transitions; the
-    temporary `__tsjsPerf` baseline shim is not carried into the switched runtime.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Atomically switch production wiring in one task and one commit.** Make no
+      validator, state-machine, lifecycle, adapter, or test behavior changes here:
+  - point `/auction`, initial HTML, and page-bids production emitters at the
+    already-tested exact decision/projection serializers and boot-script fragments,
+    including the preimplemented `tsjs:bids-script` mark;
+  - make the sole browser composition root construct the already-tested runtime,
+    services, adapters, integration modules, fallback, and queue handoff, then have
+    each thin integration `index.ts` delegate to that composition without retaining a
+    second registry or behavior branch;
+  - switch generated release/manifest/config/bootstrap emission and the independently
+    built pure Prebid 10.26.0 artifact to those already-tested entry points; and
+  - register the already-tested versioned APS renderer and live unversioned runner
+    proxy through all four adapter dispatchers while preserving the negative routes.
+
+  The switch is a hard cutover: add no selector, dual manifest, compatibility alias,
+  protocol autodetection, or fallback to old behavior. The old implementation may
+  remain physically present only while unreachable; Task 22 deletes it before
+  release.

-/**
- * GPT Script Interception Guard
- *
- * Intercepts script elements whose URLs point at Google's ad-serving domains
- * and synchronously rewrites them to the first-party proxy, preserving the
- * original path. This guard performs a *host swap*:
- *
- *   securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/managed/js/gpt/…/pubads_impl.js
- *   → publisher.com/integrations/gpt/pagead/managed/js/gpt/…/pubads_impl.js
- *
- * The server-side proxy serves script bodies verbatim, so this guard is
- * the sole mechanism that routes GPT's cascaded script loads (pubads_impl,
- * sub-modules, viewability, etc.) back through the first-party proxy.
- *
- * ## Interception layers
- *
- * 1. **`document.write` / `document.writeln`** — GPT's primary loading
- *    mechanism. When gpt.js loads synchronously it uses `document.write`
- *    to inject `<script src="...pubads_impl.js">` directly into the
- *    HTML parser stream. We intercept these calls and rewrite GPT domain
- *    URLs inside the HTML string before passing it to the native method.
- * 2. **Property descriptor** on `HTMLScriptElement.prototype.src` — catches
- *    `script.src = url` (the async fallback path GPT uses when
- *    `document.write` is unavailable).
- * 3. **`setAttribute` patch** on `HTMLScriptElement.prototype` — catches
- *    `script.setAttribute('src', url)`.
- * 4. **`document.createElement` patch** — tags every newly created
- *    `<script>` element with a per-instance `src` descriptor as a
- *    fallback when the prototype descriptor cannot be installed.
- * 5. **Shared DOM insertion dispatcher** — catches scripts and
- *    `<link rel="preload">` elements at insertion time without stacking
- *    multiple prototype wrappers across integrations.
- * 6. **`MutationObserver`** — catches elements added to the DOM via
- *    `innerHTML`, `.append()`, etc., or attribute mutations on existing
- *    elements.

Subject: [PATCH 377/494] Use string-form Cargo aliases so nested worktrees do
 not break them (#1004)

Cargo discovers .cargo/config.toml in every ancestor directory, so a
worktree nested inside the repo (e.g. .claude/worktrees/*) loads both
the worktree's copy and the parent checkout's copy. Array-valued config
keys merge by concatenation, expanding every alias to doubled tokens
("check ... check ...") and failing with: unexpected argument 'check'.
String values are overridden by the deeper config instead of merged, and
Cargo splits string aliases on whitespace, so behavior is otherwise
identical.

+**Files:**

+- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package.json`

+- Modify if required by an actual compatibility failure:
+  `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/vitest.config.ts`
+- Modify only the exact TSJS source/test/build files that a new compiler or tool
+  correctly rejects; do not mix in behavior changes or unrelated refactors
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Capture an executable package-compatibility inventory before changing the**
+      lockfile. Run `npm outdated --json`, query direct-package peer/engine ranges,
+      and record the current Node/npm/compiler versions. Select the newest stable,
+      mutually compatible direct toolchain supported by the repository-pinned Node
+      major. Upgrade TypeScript to the newest stable release supported by the newest
+      `typescript-eslint`; do not install a newer TypeScript that its parser explicitly
+      excludes. Keep `@types/node` on the repository's pinned Node major.
+
+  `prebid.js` is the one explicit package exception: pin it to exactly `10.26.0`, as
+  required by this design's external pure-Prebid artifact contract. Do not use this
+  task to adopt Prebid 11 or change the selected Prebid modules. If the latest ESLint
+  major is incompatible with the unmaintained `eslint-plugin-import`, migrate the
+  existing import rules to the maintained compatible `eslint-plugin-import-x` rather
+  than holding the rest of the lint toolchain back. Remove redundant direct
+  `@typescript-eslint/parser`/plugin declarations when the used `typescript-eslint`
+  package already owns those exact dependencies.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update direct package ranges and regenerate `package-lock.json` through npm.**
+      Do not hand-edit lock entries. Require a peer-clean `npm ls --all` and a second
+      clean `npm ci` from the generated lock. Treat invalid, missing, or extraneous
+      nodes as failures. Do not run `npm audit fix --force`; audit findings that remain
+      solely behind the mandated Prebid pin are reported, not silently solved by
+      violating the artifact contract.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make only compatibility edits proven necessary by the upgraded tools.** Keep
+      all strict compiler flags and architecture rules enabled. A new compiler/linter
+      diagnostic gets a source fix or a documented, narrow configuration correction;
+      it is not suppressed globally. Production bundle entry points, bundle ids,
+      integration behavior, the APS runner policy, and the Prebid module set must not
+      change in this task.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the upgraded toolchain and every shipped artifact:**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ci
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ls --all
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run format
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
+  ```
+
+  Also print the resolved Node, npm, TypeScript, ESLint, Vite, Vitest, and jsdom
+  versions into the task verification evidence. Re-run the external Prebid artifact
+  integration test and prove both `package.json` and the lockfile resolve Prebid
+  `10.26.0` exactly.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the toolchain upgrade as its own rollback boundary.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git add \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package-lock.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/eslint.config.js \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/tsconfig.json \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/vitest.config.ts
+  git commit -m "Upgrade the package and TypeScript toolchain"

-### Task 7A: Upgrade the TSJS package and TypeScript toolchain
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package.json`
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package-lock.json`
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/eslint.config.js`
-- Modify if required by an actual compatibility failure:
-  `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/tsconfig.json`
-- Modify if required by an actual compatibility failure:
-  `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/vitest.config.ts`
-- Modify only the exact TSJS source/test/build files that a new compiler or tool
-  correctly rejects; do not mix in behavior changes or unrelated refactors
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Capture an executable package-compatibility inventory before changing the**
-      lockfile. Run `npm outdated --json`, query direct-package peer/engine ranges,
-      and record the current Node/npm/compiler versions. Select the newest stable,
-      mutually compatible direct toolchain supported by the repository-pinned Node
-      major. Upgrade TypeScript to the newest stable release supported by the newest
-      `typescript-eslint`; do not install a newer TypeScript that its parser explicitly
-      excludes. Keep `@types/node` on the repository's pinned Node major.
-
-  `prebid.js` is the one explicit package exception: pin it to exactly `10.26.0`, as
-  required by this design's external pure-Prebid artifact contract. Do not use this
-  task to adopt Prebid 11 or change the selected Prebid modules. If the latest ESLint
-  major is incompatible with the unmaintained `eslint-plugin-import`, migrate the
-  existing import rules to the maintained compatible `eslint-plugin-import-x` rather
-  than holding the rest of the lint toolchain back. Remove redundant direct
-  `@typescript-eslint/parser`/plugin declarations when the used `typescript-eslint`
-  package already owns those exact dependencies.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Update direct package ranges and regenerate `package-lock.json` through npm.**
-      Do not hand-edit lock entries. Require a peer-clean `npm ls --all` and a second
-      clean `npm ci` from the generated lock. Treat invalid, missing, or extraneous
-      nodes as failures. Do not run `npm audit fix --force`; audit findings that remain
-      solely behind the mandated Prebid pin are reported, not silently solved by
-      violating the artifact contract.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Make only compatibility edits proven necessary by the upgraded tools.** Keep
-      all strict compiler flags and architecture rules enabled. A new compiler/linter
-      diagnostic gets a source fix or a documented, narrow configuration correction;
-      it is not suppressed globally. Production bundle entry points, bundle ids,
-      integration behavior, the APS runner policy, and the Prebid module set must not
-      change in this task.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the upgraded toolchain and every shipped artifact:**
-
-  ```bash
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ci
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib ls --all
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run format
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
-  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
-  ```
-
-  Also print the resolved Node, npm, TypeScript, ESLint, Vite, Vitest, and jsdom
-  versions into the task verification evidence. Re-run the external Prebid artifact
-  integration test and prove both `package.json` and the lockfile resolve Prebid
-  `10.26.0` exactly.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the toolchain upgrade as its own rollback boundary.**
-
-  ```bash
-  git add \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package.json \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/package-lock.json \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/eslint.config.js \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/tsconfig.json \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/vitest.config.ts
-  git commit -m "Upgrade the package and TypeScript toolchain"

-  Add only compatibility files that actually changed to the explicit staging list;
-  do not use broad staging.

+      precedes `tsjs:first-display-paint`, including 9,999/10,000/10,001 ms edges and
+      immediate programmatic direct first display. Treat a first attempt created
+      after the 10,000 ms no-attempt release as correct but explicitly outside the
+      no-contention guarantee.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement independent deferred transactions and their two clocks.**
+      After the common paint/idle gate, initiate every included classic script in
+      manifest order with `async=true` without awaiting a sibling; require exact load
+      plus exactly one accepted registration before that module's
+      prepare/activate/afterCommit. Each caller keeps
+      its original enqueue deadline while the shared module gets one independent
+      ten-second trigger-to-commit deadline. One caller expiry cannot abort the
+      background/shared load, and one hung/failed module cannot delay another's fetch
+      or consume its deadline. Implement the exact state chain and unavailable reasons
+      including `policy_blocked`; the catalog forbids deferred-to-deferred capability
+      edges, and a deferred failure never selects fallback or a second runtime.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add and implement CSP/Trusted Types fixtures.** Copy only the exact
+      critical script's nonempty `nonce` IDL value. Create at most one closure-private
+      `trusted-server#tsjs-v1` policy whose `createScriptURL` accepts only frozen exact
+      canonical absolute URLs derived once from the validated root-relative manifest
+      against captured `window.location.origin`, never `document.baseURI`. Use that
+      absolute set for tag/currentScript checks, policy output, and post-assignment
+      comparison. If policy creation fails, allow raw assignment only
+      through non-enforcement or an existing publisher default policy, then compare
+      the resolved element URL exactly before insertion. Cover same-origin policy,
+      nonce-only, `strict-dynamic`, allowed/rejected named policy, exact-preserving and
+      mutating defaults, throws, absent nonce, disallowed URL, node replacement, and
+      full policy block. Reserve `policy_blocked` for synchronous Trusted Types or
+      pre-insertion URL failure; CSP nonce/source rejection after insertion is
+      `load_error`, and removal/replacement that loses authenticated identity is
+      `registration_rejected` unless load failure wins. Never install a
+      `SecurityPolicyViolationEvent` listener, rewrite CSP, or try `setAttribute`, dynamic import,
+      blob/data URLs, `eval`, another policy name, or a remote fallback.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Prove disposal ownership.** Full runtime disposal cancels readiness,
+      idle/frame/timer/load handlers, uncommitted nodes, and late registration. SPA
+      disposal cancels only navigation-owned waiters/state; it does not abort the
+      runtime-owned module transaction or remove a document-runtime provider needed
+      by the next navigation. Exercise reversed disposal/load/registration/timeout
+      orderings and prove the sole adapter/listener/registry identities survive an
+      isolated deferred failure.

+- [ ] **Step D1: Write failing phase-membership and behavior tests.** Map all spec
+      §5.2 catalog rows to these exact artifacts: critical `render_runtime`, `aps`,
+      `creative`, `datadome`, `didomi`, `google_tag_manager`, `gpt`,
+      `gpt_diagnostics`, `lockr`, `osano_consent`, `permutive_context`,
+      `sourcepoint_consent`, `prebid`, `testlight`; deferred
+      `diagnostics_presentation`, `gpt_later`, `osano_lifecycle`,
+      `permutive_lifecycle`, `prebid_later`, `sourcepoint_lifecycle`. Assert each
+      inclusion predicate, capability edge, named critical/later obligation, build
+      role, and exactly-once maximal-inventory membership.
+
+- [ ] **Step D2: Add failing production-metafile tests.** The core entry may import
+      only kernel, boot/projection contracts, queue/logger, and minimum direct public-
+      API setup. Reject every deferred integration/service/UI path, test/no-op/fake
+      seam, and `*ForTest` export. Reject a consumer artifact that inlines its
+      provider, a second adapter/runtime/listener owner, or any GPT/Prebid global
+      access outside the adapters.
+
+- [ ] **Step D3: Run the new tests and record the expected failures and current
+      critical/reference/maximal size deltas.** Do not regenerate the immutable
+      baseline.
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- --run test/integrations/phase-slices.test.ts test/composition/browser.test.ts test/composition/maximal-runtime.test.ts
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run test:architecture
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:bundle
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step D4: Extract the mandatory critical providers and product obligations.**
+      `render_runtime` alone provides slots/auction/render/messages/trace/direct over
+      kernel `runtime.v1`; `aps`, GPT, diagnostics, consent/context, and all guard
+      modules consume only catalogued frozen interfaces. Keep creative critical only
+      for `enabled && (clickGuard || renderGuard)`. Prebid is always critical when
+      enabled and retains external-artifact readiness, bidder aliases, user-ID/EIDs,
+      publisher queue behavior, initial auction, and TS bid/PUC admission. It remains
+      a separately generated pure external Prebid artifact plus TS-owned adapter—not
+      vendored bytes.
+
+- [ ] **Step D5: Move only proven later behavior to the six deferred slices.** Move
+      diagnostics DOM/UI/export; GPT post-first-display refresh/navigation/later
+      reconciliation; Osano retry/event/focus/visibility/clear; Permutive later SDK/
+      segment refresh; Prebid synthetic refresh plus RCJ-PREBID-04 GAM-path exclusion;
+      and Sourcepoint later retry/visibility/focus/update/safe-clear. Keep initial GPT
+      handoff/hydration/reconciliation critical. A deferred slice consumes only
+      critical providers, creates no adapter/runtime, and preserves exact disposer
+      ownership. The baseline PBS Cache implementation stays inside the GPT product
+      behind generation/disposal only and receives no new protocol.
+
+- [ ] **Step D6: Prove parity and independent deferred loading.** Run every `RCJ-*`
+      fixture against the final owner, including EID/user-ID behavior before first
+      display and RCJ-PREBID-04 after the gate. In the maximal runtime, start all six
+      deferred transactions after the shared paint/idle gate; block/fail each one in
+      turn and prove every sibling starts immediately with its own deadline and the
+      one runtime/adapter/listener identities remain unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step D7: Make the production import, inventory, and immutable size gates
+      green, then commit.** Minimal critical means `[core,render_runtime]`; reference
+      critical means `[core,render_runtime,creative,gpt,prebid,datadome]`; maximal
+      TSJS total counts core and every production integration module exactly once.
+      The release inventory also counts bootstrap exactly once under its separate
+      bootstrap role/budget; it is not added to maximal TSJS total. Splitting never
+      excuses maximal-total growth.

 ### Task 20: Build the hermetic browser race matrix
 
+Task 20 is an umbrella only. Execute 20A bootstrap/phase-loader/CSP, 20B render/PUC,
+and 20C GPT/Prebid/diagnostics/integration behavior as separate
+red-to-green-to-commit checkpoints. Execute 20D as a green re-attestation and CI-
+gating checkpoint for Task 5B's already-complete four-adapter transport corpus.
+Shared helpers may be extended by later checkpoints, but no checkpoint may stage a
+later group's spec files or workflow changes.

+`criticalSrc` is the exact same-origin
+`/static/tsjs=tsjs-unified.min.js?v=<criticalHash>` URL emitted immediately after
+the bootstrap controller, where `criticalHash` is 64 lowercase hexadecimal
+characters equal to SHA-256 over the exact uncompressed UTF-8 response bytes. Those
+bytes are core followed by the manifest's critical IIFEs in manifest order with the
+build's exact `;\n` separator; their embedded registrations and `releaseId` bind the
+URL to the catalog, phase, order, and release. Manifest URLs are transported only as
+canonical root-relative strings. During validation, the bootstrap controller and
+then core resolve each once against the captured `window.location.origin`—never
+`document.baseURI`—require the same
+origin and exact path/query round-trip, and freeze one absolute URL per entry. All
+DOM, Trusted Types, and current-script comparisons use only those canonical absolute
+values. The controller accepts only the one parser-inserted
+`script#trustedserver-js` whose resolved `src` equals the absolute `criticalSrc`;
+an absent, duplicate, or mismatched tag fails the critical
+transaction. Redirect refusal is enforced by the local transport below.
+Every deferred `src` is an exact same-origin `/static/tsjs=tsjs-<id>.min.js?v=<hash>`
+URL generated by the server for that release; accessors, arbitrary hosts, fragments,
+duplicate URLs, and mismatched ids/hashes fail manifest validation. That local
+static route must return the exact release artifact directly and never redirect.
+The registration value must be a non-null plain object with exactly those five own
+enumerable data properties; accessors, unknown/missing/inherited keys, a custom
+prototype, wrong literals/types, or a non-callable `prepare` are rejected before the
+factory is retained. Registration requires exact id membership, phase, `releaseId` equality, expected script
+element identity, and `document.currentScript` identity. Integrations obtain stateful
+capabilities from the closure-private broker; they never construct a second runtime
+or replace an existing adapter, slot registry, dispatcher, or provider.
+
+The server emits one parser-blocking, server-concatenated critical artifact. Its
+bytes are exactly core followed by every `phase:'critical'` IIFE in manifest order,
+so the critical transaction incurs one request and no integration waterfall. The
+server emits no parser-time tag for a deferred module. Core alone creates deferred
+script elements later; `defer`, `async`, preload, or a post-commit callback attached
+to an already downloaded monolith does not satisfy this contract.
+
+The static transport is exact and shared by Fastly, Axum, Cloudflare, and Spin.
+Only `GET /static/tsjs=tsjs-unified.min.js?v=<criticalHash>` and
+`GET /static/tsjs=tsjs-<deferred-id>.min.js?v=<moduleHash>` are admitted; each query
+has exactly one `v` and no other field. `moduleHash` is SHA-256 over that deferred
+artifact's exact uncompressed UTF-8 bytes. The handler derives the enabled ordered
+critical set or deferred catalog entry from trusted server configuration, recomputes
+the hash, and returns the current artifact only on an exact match. An unconditional
+success is `200`, `Content-Type: application/javascript; charset=utf-8`, and
+`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`; the existing strong-ETag/static-cache behavior,
+including a valid conditional `304`, is preserved without adding a new cache
+requirement. A missing/malformed/stale hash, unknown or disabled id, wrong method,
+legacy filename, or extra query field receives the adapter-local `404 no-store` and
+never falls through to publisher origin. Redirects are forbidden. Compression may
+change transfer bytes but not the uncompressed bytes named by `v`.
+
+This hard cutover serves only artifacts embedded in the active binary. It does not
+add an N/N-1 asset store or retain a previous release's TSJS routes. A page carrying
+an old manifest across deployment can receive the typed critical/deferred failure
+defined here and must reload; the retained prior _binary_ in §8 is solely the whole-
+deployment rollback artifact. After rollback, that binary again serves its own
+release. This accepted stale-page break is not a cache or compatibility project.
+
+Upstream-library loading is orthogonal to TSJS bundling. After the bootstrap
+controller, the server may emit the existing fixed/configured live GPT tag as a non-
+parser-blocking fetch early enough to overlap the critical TSJS request when GPT is
+required for the first projected display. When Prebid integration is enabled, its
+external artifact tag is always emitted through that early overlap path because the
+baseline client readiness, bidder/user-ID/EID configuration, publisher queue, and
+initial auction contract are critical. It remains
+an external script, never a TSJS source input or TSJS generated artifact. Its adapter installs
+and owns all request-capable actions only after the critical transaction commits, so
+an early library load cannot race a TS-owned display before correctness listeners.
+An optional/later upstream script follows its owning deferred module's trigger and
+cannot be prefetched by this path. The APS runner is never boot-preloaded: only a
+winning APS renderer document loads it through the live fixed-target proxy specified
+in §§3.6 and 4.4.
+
+Phase assignment is a release-catalog decision, not a publisher input or browser
+heuristic. Where one product supports both initial and later-only use, the catalog
+defines separate fixed-phase slice ids. The server selects the exact slice set from trusted
+static integration configuration and the server-owned initial projection; it never
+relabels one module id. If the server cannot prove that enabled behavior is
+irrelevant to the first projected display, that behavior is critical:
+

+  TS-bid/PUC admission are always critical when Prebid is enabled. Initial GPT handoff, hydrated-slot resolution,
+  or reconciliation stays critical whenever the first projected display depends on
+  it; and
+- a product integration may therefore have a small critical module and a separate
+  deferred module. Those are release-owned implementation slices of one integration,
+  not separately configurable products. Shared state crosses the slice only through
+  an exact frozen capability from the one runtime broker.

+This is the canonical release catalog and its order. Capability lists use the exact
+keys shown; `—` means none. The inclusion predicate is server-owned and
+deny-unknown. A module id, phase, trigger, predicate, provider/consumer list, or
+obligation absent from this table is not a production module:

+`runtime.v1` is the kernel's only built-in capability: generation, disposal,
+clock/scheduler, queue, logger, validated boot data, capability access, and phase
+loading. All other keys have exactly the provider above. Optional consumption is
+allowed only where the table says `iff active`; absence in that case is never
+silently substituted. The maximal manifest therefore has 14 critical plus six
+deferred entries: `MAX_CRITICAL_MODULES = 14` and `MAX_MANIFEST_MODULES = 20`.
+The serializer, parser, registry, callback staging, tests, and fuzz/capacity fixtures
+derive 13/14/15 and 19/20/21 boundaries from this table rather than retaining a
+hand-written 16. Exactly the two catalog consumers of internal
+observation streams (`gpt_diagnostics` and `diagnostics_presentation`) determine
+`MAX_INTERNAL_DIAGNOSTICS_SUBSCRIPTIONS = 2`; public subscriber limits remain
+separate.
+
+The release catalog records, for every module id, its product integration, phase,
+trigger, provided/consumed capability keys, and whether parser-time activation is a
+proved baseline obligation. The build rejects dependency cycles, a deferred
+provider consumed by another module, two providers for one key, a phase override
+from server or publisher data, provider-after-consumer manifest order, and any
+critical entry that imports a catalogued deferred source area. GPT, the APS runner,
+the external Prebid artifact, PUC, and all
+other upstream script bytes remain remote/live and are never copied into a TSJS
+bundle; only Trusted Server-owned adapters, contracts, and lifecycle code may be in
+these artifacts.
+
+Both phases use the same module-transaction rules. Registration stores code but does
+not execute it. During the critical transaction, core calls `prepare(ctx)` in
+manifest order. Each deferred transaction calls its own `prepare(ctx)` independently
+after that module's accepted registration and `load` checkpoint, without awaiting or
+ordering against a deferred sibling. `prepare(ctx)` may be synchronous or asynchronous;
+its only legal effects are validating frozen configuration,
+obtaining declared capability interfaces, allocating private inert data/closures,
+and registering private-memory disposers. Preparation cannot read or write ad-tech
 globals, attach a listener/observer/wrapper, touch live DOM, inject a script, start a
 timer/fetch, schedule detached work, invoke publisher code, or call a stateful
-adapter/service method. The one Promise returned to and awaited by core, including
-its ordinary `await`/settlement continuations, is permitted; no continuation may be
-detached from that Promise or survive its settlement/abort. Preparation returns
-exactly one prepared module with a synchronous `activate(ctx)` function.
-
-After every required module prepares, core enters one synchronous activation barrier
-in manifest order. `activate(ctx)` may install only synchronously compare-restorable
-wrappers, listeners, observers, guards, and service subscriptions. It registers the
-disposer before each mutation and may stage bounded post-commit work through
-`ctx.afterCommit(fn)`, but cannot inject/load a script, start network/timers, schedule
-work, drain a publisher queue, or invoke publisher callbacks directly. The core
-dispatcher and correctness-critical GPT listeners are the first reversible core
-activations in this same barrier, not effects left live during asynchronous
-preparation. If any activation throws, core synchronously runs every activated and
-prepared disposer once in reverse order before committing fallback. Since the
-barrier never yields and activation cannot call publisher code, no publisher task
-can observe a partial generation.
-
-The activation barrier checks the same monotonic boot deadline immediately before
-and after every `activate` call and once more before kernel handoff. Elapsed time
-greater than or equal to 10,000 ms synchronously unwinds and commits fallback even
-when the timer task has not run. JavaScript cannot preempt an activation function
-that never returns; a malicious/nonreturning same-realm module can freeze the page
-and is an accepted platform limitation, not a second-runtime recovery case.
-
-After all activations succeed, core commits the complete kernel API, runs staged
+adapter/service method. The one Promise returned to and awaited by the phase owner,
+including its ordinary `await`/settlement continuations, is permitted; no
+continuation may be detached from that Promise or survive its settlement/abort.
+Preparation returns exactly one prepared module with a synchronous `activate(ctx)`
+function and its declared frozen capability interfaces. Core validates and stages a
+provider's interfaces immediately after that provider prepares, so later consumers
+can receive them in their preparation context; the interfaces remain effect-inert
+until provider activation and are removed during rollback. Preparation code cannot
+call a staged stateful capability. Critical activation order is the same
+provider-before-consumer order, so no consumer becomes live first.
+
+After every critical module prepares, core enters one synchronous critical
+activation barrier in manifest order. `activate(ctx)` may install only synchronously
+compare-restorable wrappers, listeners, observers, guards, provider live-state
+transitions, and service subscriptions. It registers the disposer before each mutation and may stage bounded
+post-commit work through `ctx.afterCommit(fn)`, but cannot inject/load a script,
+start network/timers, schedule work, drain a publisher queue, or invoke publisher
+callbacks directly. The critical message-dispatcher and GPT-adapter provider
+modules occupy the catalogued provider positions before their consumers, and their
+correctness listeners are activated there rather than left live during asynchronous
+preparation. If any critical activation throws, core synchronously
+runs every activated and prepared disposer once in reverse order before committing
+fallback. Since the barrier never yields and activation cannot call publisher code,
+no publisher task can observe a partial critical generation.
+
+The critical activation barrier checks the same monotonic boot deadline immediately
+before and after every `activate` call and once more before kernel handoff. Elapsed
+time greater than or equal to 10,000 ms synchronously unwinds and commits fallback
+even when the timer task has not run. JavaScript cannot preempt an activation
+function that never returns; a malicious/nonreturning same-realm module can freeze
+the page and is an accepted platform limitation, not a second-runtime recovery case.
+
+After all critical activations succeed, core commits the kernel API, runs critical
 `afterCommit` callbacks in manifest order, and only then drains the preload queue.
-Those callbacks may synchronously start scripts, timers, readiness work, and baseline
-DOM scans; publisher code they intentionally invoke therefore sees the complete
-kernel. A callback throw is isolated to its module, runs that module's remaining
-disposers, records a bounded local runtime failure, and makes affected operations
-fail through their typed readiness/render result; it cannot roll back an already
-published kernel or create a fallback generation.

+module's remaining disposers, records a bounded local runtime failure, and makes
+affected operations fail through their existing typed readiness/render result; it
+cannot roll back an already published kernel or create a fallback generation.
+
+Every deferred module uses the sole `first_display_or_idle` phase gate. Core arms a
+10,000 ms **attempt-creation** guard at kernel commit on every page, including one
+with no server projection, so an immediate programmatic `addAdUnits`/`requestAds`
+first display is protected. The first render batch to create an attempt during that
+window becomes the immutable protected first-display batch. The guard is cancelled,
+and deferred work waits without another fixed cutoff until every attempt in that
+batch reaches its terminal latch. Readiness plus GPT/renderer completion may
+therefore exceed ten seconds without a deferred race. The guard fires only when no
+server-projected or programmatic attempt was created by its boundary. Firing is the
+explicit runtime decision that no _startup-protected_ display exists; it releases the
+deferred phase even though publisher code may create a later first attempt. That
+post-window attempt uses the same correct critical owners but may overlap already
+released later work. The design makes no absolute load-contention guarantee for a
+first display initiated after 10,000 ms.
+
+Terminal/no-attempt is not itself permission to fetch. On a visible document, the
+phase loader waits through two owned `requestAnimationFrame` callbacks, guaranteeing
+one intervening paint opportunity, and records the internal paint gate only in the
+second callback. If the document is hidden, it waits for the first of visibility
+return through that same two-frame gate or a 2,000 ms owned idle timeout; there is no
+visible paint to contend with while hidden. Only after that gate does it schedule
+deferred loading in `requestIdleCallback({timeout:2_000})`. The
+non-idle fallback is one owned 50 ms timer created after the paint/hidden gate, never
+a zero-delay task before paint.
+
+The catalog has no on-demand network trigger. A critical provider may expose a
+bounded readiness facade for behavior implemented by a deferred slice. Each caller's
+existing deadline begins at its original enqueue time and may expire while the phase
+gate is closed. The shared module receives a separate ten-second load/transaction
+deadline only when `first_display_or_idle` actually triggers; only still-live
+waiters observe readiness. Expiring one waiter never aborts the shared module while
+another waiter or the catalogued background load still owns it.
+
+Core creates a classic same-origin script element with the canonical absolute form of
+the exact manifest `src`,
+stores its identity before insertion, and authenticates registration with that
+identity plus `document.currentScript`. It uses neither dynamic `import()` nor
+`eval`. After the common paint/idle gate, it starts every included deferred module's
+independent transaction in manifest order without awaiting another module. Each
+dynamically created classic script is `async = true`; network, evaluation, and local
+transaction completion may finish in any order. This is safe because the catalog
+forbids deferred-to-deferred capability edges. A hung, failed, or slow module cannot
+consume another module's deadline or delay its fetch, preparation, or activation.
+
+Deferred insertion preserves the publisher's script policy; it never rewrites a
+Content-Security-Policy header or meta element and never adds `unsafe-inline`,
+`unsafe-eval`, a source host, or a default Trusted Types policy. The parser-inserted
+bootstrap and critical tags remain subject to the publisher's existing CSP and are
+a deployment precondition just as TSJS injection is on the baseline. When those
+tags carry a CSP nonce, they must carry the same response-local value, and core
+copies the critical element's `nonce` IDL value to every deferred script before
+insertion. This supports nonce-only policies and preserves the trusted-root chain
+under `strict-dynamic`; an absent nonce is never synthesized or copied from an
+unrelated publisher element.
+
+`HTMLScriptElement.src` is a Trusted Types script-URL sink. When the browser exposes
+`trustedTypes`, core attempts once per document runtime to create the closure-private
+policy `trusted-server#tsjs-v1`. Its `createScriptURL` callback returns its canonical
+absolute argument only when that value is exact membership in the frozen absolute
+deferred URL set; it rejects every other string and is never exposed. If publisher CSP does
+not permit that policy name or the name is unavailable, core may assign the raw
+manifest string so a publisher's existing default policy or a non-enforcing browser
+can process it, but it immediately verifies that the element's resolved `src` is
+still byte-for-byte the expected canonical absolute URL before insertion. A
+synchronous Trusted Types throw, empty value, mutation, or policy result outside the
+exact manifest is `policy_blocked`; TSJS does
+not try `setAttribute`, another policy name, a blob/data URL, `eval`, or a remote
+fallback. Under enforcing Trusted Types with neither the named policy nor a
+publisher default policy that preserves the exact URL, the affected deferred module
+therefore becomes unavailable while the committed runtime stays live. Publishers
+that restrict the `trusted-types` directive and require deferred TSJS behavior must
+allow the fixed `trusted-server#tsjs-v1` name; this grants only the exact release
+URLs already selected by the server. A nonce/source CSP rejection after insertion is
+observed through the script's `error` event and is `load_error`, not
+`policy_blocked`; the runtime installs no `SecurityPolicyViolationEvent` listener.
+A node removed or replaced after insertion may already have initiated a request, but
+its disconnected/replaced identity cannot register and settles as
+`registration_rejected` (or `load_error` if fetch rejection wins).
+
+Full document-runtime disposal aborts pending module readiness, clears idle/
+timer/load listeners, removes an uncommitted script node, and makes late registration
+inert. SPA navigation disposal cancels only waiters and state owned by that
+`NavigationSession`; the runtime-owned fetch/transaction may complete for the next
+session and cannot retain or act on the disposed one.
+No deferred request, preload, preparation, or execution may begin before its trigger,
+and a `first_display_or_idle` module must not begin before the reference fixture's
+`tsjs:first-display-paint` gate.
+
+Each deferred entry follows
+`not_triggered -> loading -> registered -> preparing -> activating -> ready`, with
+any nonterminal state able to move once to `unavailable`. Registration only stores
+the factory. The exact script `load` must then observe exactly that one accepted
+registration before preparation begins; `load` without registration, `error`, a
+second registration, or deadline/disposal wins the terminal latch and never invokes
+the factory. The load/error listeners and inert script node are removed as soon as
+that fetch/registration checkpoint becomes terminal; executing bytes remain owned
+only by the registered factory/module closure. The bounded internal unavailable reason distinguishes `load_error`,
+`load_without_registration`, `registration_rejected`, `prepare_failed`,
+`activation_failed`, `after_commit_failed`, `policy_blocked`, `module_timeout`, and
+`disposed` for local diagnostics/tests. It is not added to `TsjsApi` or an analytics
+schema.
+
+Each deferred module gets one fixed ten-second deadline from its trigger through
+script fetch, accepted registration, preparation, activation, and `afterCommit`.
+Queued dependent operations retain the independent original deadlines above and
+share the module readiness Promise only while live. With no waiting operation, the
+module deadline still retires its script and state rather than leaking indefinitely. The module's
+preparation and synchronous activation run against the already committed
+`RuntimeSession` and broker, after which its `afterCommit` callback runs. Failure,
+timeout, wrong bytes, or disposal marks only that module terminal-unavailable and
+settles dependent work through its existing exact typed reason (for example
+`external_ready_timeout` or `external_artifact_incompatible`). It does not roll back
+the kernel, activate the no-bundle fallback, retry indefinitely, or construct a
+second adapter/runtime. Once a deferred module reaches ready or unavailable, its
+registration is permanently closed. A capability provider removed during module or
+full-runtime disposal is never replaced within that generation; navigation disposal
+clears only navigation-scoped state and does not remove the document-runtime
+provider needed by the next `NavigationSession`.
 
 `ctx.signal` aborts pending preparation. `ctx.onDispose(fn)` is the only disposal
 registration mechanism; a disposer registered after disposal runs immediately, and
 one failing disposer does not prevent the rest. Each module may call

+`useUnknownInCatchVariables`. Production bundles contain no dynamic `import()`;
+the deferred loader uses only authenticated classic same-origin script elements as
+specified in §5.2.
+
+The checked-in pre-change fixture is immutable evidence, not a baseline that may be
+regenerated from the larger implementation. Its bundle roles survive intentional
+file splitting:
+
+- **minimal critical** is the server-composed artifact for
+  `[core, render_runtime]`; `render_runtime` is mandatory even when no product
+  integration is enabled because it owns programmatic direct rendering and the
+  shared lifecycle services;
+- **reference critical** is the one server-composed first-display artifact for the
+  semantic reference configuration
+  `[core, render_runtime, creative, gpt, prebid, datadome]`, but contains only the
+  catalogued critical slices required by that configuration; and
+- **maximal total** is every production core, critical, and deferred TSJS module in
+  the release, each exactly once. This gate prevents phase splitting from hiding
+  total growth.
+
+The build emits one canonical release inventory with each production bundle's id,
+role, phase, trigger, inputs, outputs, bytes, and hash. Budget membership is derived
+from that catalog rather than an obsolete exact filename list. The gate rejects an
+unclassified or multiply counted artifact, a missing production artifact, a test
+artifact, and a reference-critical artifact whose dependency graph reaches a
+deferred source. With the recorded compression settings, the hard 5% ceilings are:
+
+| Set                | Raw bytes | gzip bytes | Brotli bytes |
+| ------------------ | --------: | ---------: | -----------: |
+| minimal critical   |    24,482 |      9,121 |        8,070 |
+| reference critical |   119,443 |     36,921 |       27,353 |
+| maximal total      |   196,585 |     56,488 |       39,679 |
+
+The inline bootstrap-controller/fallback cannot be used to hide code outside those
+sets. It has its own immutable 5%-over-`rc/july@905984e62`
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` baseline of 19,101 raw, 5,468 gzip, and 4,632 Brotli bytes:
+the ceilings are 20,056 raw, 5,741 gzip, and 4,863 Brotli bytes. Its production
+metafile/import allowlist permits only boot-manifest/queue/
+fallback validation, generation/disposal, timing, and local logging primitives. The
+release inventory counts it exactly once under the `bootstrap` role and the release
+hash covers its final bytes; it is not counted again as a TSJS integration bundle.
+
+`npm run check:bundle` builds fresh metrics and runs this comparator in CI. Updating
+the fixture or raising a ceiling requires separate design approval; it is not an
+implementation escape hatch. The production-core metafile is also checked against
+the release catalog and explicit deny paths so a deferred service, integration,
+diagnostics presentation component, no-op adapter, fake scheduler, or `*ForTest`
+export cannot be pulled back into the critical artifact by a transitive import.
+
+Boot-to-first-display uses real User Timing marks, not `__tsjsPerf` or a test-only
+placeholder. The bootstrap controller records `tsjs:bids-script` immediately before
+the server's critical head sequence, so the measure includes required upstream and
+critical-artifact loading. The one runtime records
+`tsjs:first-display`
+exactly once immediately before the first TS-owned request action in the protected
+first-display batch: the responsible GPT `display`/`refresh`, or direct-render iframe
+insertion. A page with no render attempt during the measurement is excluded
+explicitly rather than manufacturing a mark. The terminal latch for the attempt that produced that action records
+`tsjs:first-display-terminal`; after the complete immutable initial projection batch
+settles and the §5.2 paint gate passes, core records `tsjs:first-display-paint`.
+Each mark is emitted at most once per document runtime. The reference fixture asserts
+that no deferred request, preload, preparation, or execution precedes
+`tsjs:first-display-paint`; p90 remains the exact `tsjs:bids-script` to
+`tsjs:first-display` request-action measure so the historical metric does not change
+meaning.
+
+The performance job uses pinned Chromium 145.0.7632.6, the
+`github-hosted:ubuntu-24.04` runner class, fixture `tsjs-core-placeholder-v1`, five
+warmups, and 50 measured samples. The fixture id remains the baseline identity, but
+the post-change fixture must exercise the real server boot/controller, critical
+artifact, runtime, and first-display adapter path; it cannot retain a bespoke
+`__tsjsPerf` simulator. Its p90 ceiling is 28.6 ms, exactly 10% over the recorded
+26 ms. It runs the declared sample set once and never selectively reruns or drops
+slow samples. Retained heap uses Chromium CDP forced-GC checkpoints after boot,
+first render, refresh, and SPA navigation. After the display samples, the job opens
+one separate fresh browser context, executes the real fixture once, and at each
+checkpoint sends `HeapProfiler.collectGarbage` once followed immediately by
+`Runtime.getHeapUsage`; the single `usedSize` is the checkpoint statistic (there is
+no hidden averaging, maximum selection, or rerun). The checked-in baseline and exact
+10% floor ceilings are:
+
+| Heap checkpoint      | Baseline bytes | Ceiling bytes |
+| -------------------- | -------------: | ------------: |
+| after boot           |      1,208,816 |     1,329,697 |
+| after first render   |      1,212,016 |     1,333,217 |
+| after refresh        |      1,212,016 |     1,333,217 |
+| after SPA navigation |      1,219,472 |     1,341,419 |
+
+Any checkpoint over its ceiling fails the one declared run; the job cannot replace
+only that measurement or rerun only the heap fixture.
+Correctness runs independently in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Correctness
+failures are never waived by a performance pass.

+    an attempt created within the ten-second startup window protects its entire
+    immutable batch through terminal settlement and paint, and the reference fixture
+    requests, preloads, prepares, and executes no deferred module before the real
+    `tsjs:first-display-paint` mark. Its manifest URL hash is
+    the SHA-256 of the exact served critical bytes and stale or malformed hashes
+    fail locally on every adapter.
+23. Critical module absence, mismatch, timeout, or transaction failure commits the
+    terminal fallback; deferred module failure leaves the same committed kernel and
+    owners alive and settles only dependent work through its exact typed contract.
+24. No production-core import graph contains deferred integration/service/UI code,
+    no-op/fake/test seams, or `*ForTest` accessors. Every production artifact appears
+    exactly once in the release inventory, with the bootstrap role included once and
+    every TSJS module included in maximal total.
+25. Bootstrap-controller, minimal-critical, reference-critical, maximal-total,
+    boot-to-first-display p90, and retained-heap results remain within their immutable
+    §5.12 ceilings without baseline regeneration, selective sample reruns, or
+    file-membership loopholes.
+26. A deferred module can register only from the exact current core-created local
+    release script and can obtain only catalogued frozen capabilities from the one
+    runtime. It cannot replace an adapter, slot registry, dispatcher, provider, or
+    runtime, including after navigation and failure races. Trusted Types and URL
+    failures detected synchronously before insertion isolate as `policy_blocked`;
+    nonce/source CSP rejection after insertion is `load_error`, and authenticated-
+    node loss is `registration_rejected` unless load failure wins. No policy failure
+    widens CSP or selects another execution sink.
+    All included deferred transactions begin independently after the shared gate, so
+    one module's ten-second deadline cannot delay or consume another's.
+27. GPT, APS runner, PUC, and other live upstream script bytes are absent from TSJS
+    source, TSJS generated artifacts, fixtures, and browser evidence. The separately
+    generated pure external Prebid artifact remains isolated under its §5.6 contract
+    and contains no TSJS behavior; Trusted Server's runtime bundles retain only owned
+    adapters, proxy/loading contracts, and lifecycle wrappers.

-// Contract with the bundle:
-//   - Both implementations must set `window.tsjs.servicesEnabled = true`
-//     after calling `enableSingleRequest()`/`enableServices()` so a
-//     subsequent call becomes a no-op.
-//   - `refresh()` is called only for the slots defined in this pass,
-//     never the global slot list.
-//
-// Only installed if `window.tsjs.adInit` isn't already defined.

- * Google Publisher Tags (GPT) Integration Shim

- * The shim ensures the googletag stub exists early (matching GPT's own
- * bootstrap pattern) and patches `cmd.push` to wrap queued callbacks.
- *
- * Current capabilities:
- *   - Installs a script guard that rewrites dynamically inserted GPT
- *     `<script>` elements to the first-party proxy endpoint.
- *   - Takes over the `googletag.cmd` array so that every callback runs
- *     through a wrapper that can inject targeting, logging, or consent
- *     signals before the real GPT processes the command.
- *
- * Future enhancements (driven by config or tsjs API):
- *   - Inject EC ID as page-level key-value targeting.
- *   - Gate ad requests on consent status.
- *   - Rewrite ad-unit paths for A/B testing.

- * time. `adInit()` defines GPT slots on the publisher's `-container`
- * wrappers, mutating those ad-slot subtrees; on a Next.js App Router page a

- * `requestAnimationFrame` so the call runs after React has committed. A
- * single deferred call — no retry timer.
- *
- * The SSR document is navigation generation 0 by definition, so the scheduler
- * pins the whole initial pass to generation 0 rather than capturing whatever
- * the counter reads when the `</body>` script runs: the SPA hook is installed
- * by the synchronous head bundle, so a navigation can commit while the HTML
- * is still streaming, and capturing that advanced value would adopt the stale
- * SSR bootstrap as current. For the same reason the initial bids payload is
- * passed in and applied here, generation-guarded — assigning it
- * unconditionally at body end would clobber the live bids a faster SPA
- * navigation already applied. When a navigation has committed since — or
- * commits while the deferred callback is pending — the SSR payload is
- * dropped and `adInit()` is not run: running anyway would re-run the newer

- * and double-refreshing it. The generation counter (not a URL comparison)
- * keeps this guard aligned with the SPA auction hook's pathname-and-query
- * route identity: query changes cancel the initial call because they request
- * fresh page bids, while an `/a → /b → /a` round trip remains

- * holds the initial `adInit()` until the tab is first viewed. This is
- * intended, not an oversight: the initial ad request then spends its
- * impression on a tab someone is actually looking at instead of firing —
- * unviewable — at parse time in a tab that may never be foregrounded, and

-2. When `pbjs.requestBids()` is called, the TSJS shim checks each bid against the list.
+1. The server emits `clientSideBidders` as release-bound typed integration configuration; the module loader validates, freezes, and consumes it before committing the public API.
+2. When `pbjs.requestBids()` is called, the Prebid adapter checks each bid against the immutable list.
 3. **Client-side bidders** are left as standalone bids — their native Prebid.js adapters handle them in the browser.
 4. **All other bidders** are absorbed into the `trustedServer` adapter and routed through the `/auction` orchestrator to Prebid Server.
 5. Both sets of bids compete in the same Prebid.js auction.

 ### 5.8 Local diagnostics
 
-The kernel owns a bounded, failure-isolated diagnostics bus. Render attempts and the
-GPT adapter publish immutable observations after their correctness transition; a
-diagnostics subscriber can never delay, reject, retry, or mutate the source
-operation. Subscriber throws are logged locally and isolated from later subscribers.
-The internal bus admits exactly the catalog-derived maximum of two
-integration-module subscriptions; publisher code cannot register on that internal
-bus.
+The kernel owns one bounded, failure-isolated diagnostics ingress. Render attempts
+and the GPT adapter call its closure-bound `publish(candidate: unknown): boolean`
+only after their correctness transition. An active ingress accepts only a data tree
+whose root is an ordinary or null-prototype record and whose descendants are null,
+booleans, finite numbers, strings, dense arrays, or ordinary/null-prototype records.
+Records must contain only own enumerable string data properties. Arrays must contain
+only their exact own `length` plus dense own data elements `0..length-1`; extra
+properties are invalid. Symbols, accessors, functions, `undefined`, bigint,
+non-finite numbers, sparse arrays, custom prototypes, cycles, repeated object
+references, and any proxy/trap failure are invalid. Runtime-local GPT slot identity
+therefore crosses this boundary as a bounded string token, never as retained object
+identity.
+
+The executable ingress limits are:
+
+```ts
+const MAX_DIAGNOSTICS_OBSERVATION_DEPTH = 16
+const MAX_DIAGNOSTICS_OBSERVATION_NODES = 512
+const MAX_DIAGNOSTICS_PROPERTY_NAME_BYTES = 128
+const MAX_DIAGNOSTICS_STRING_BYTES = 4096
+```
+
+The root has depth zero. Every encountered root, property value, or array element,
+including a primitive, consumes one node, so a flat record with 511 scalar values is
+the widest accepted record and one with 512 is rejected. Property-name and string
+limits count UTF-8 bytes independently. At or below every limit, ingress builds a
+fresh tree from own data descriptors, uses null-prototype objects for copied records,
+deep-freezes the copy, and retains no producer-owned array or record. A limit,
+descriptor, copy, encoding, or freeze failure returns `false` without invoking the
+reducer and never throws into the source operation.
+
+After a successful snapshot, ingress invokes the closure-private core trace reducer
+exactly once, synchronously. Reducer or local error-reporter failure is caught and
+cannot alter the source transition; because transport acceptance already succeeded,
+`publish` returns `true`. The ingress has no integration-module or publisher
+subscription API, listener identity, pending-delivery queue, scheduler/timer,
+overflow callback, or subscription-capacity constant. Its exact returned facade is
+frozen and contains only `publish` and `dispose`. `dispose` is idempotent, clears
+retained owner callbacks, and makes the bound `publish` return `false`; a retained
+facade from a disposed/replaced runtime epoch is likewise inert. Navigation-scoped
+producers must pass their owner-generation check before publication, and the reducer
+also ignores a semantically stale fact without treating diagnostics as authority.
+
+The core-ingress representation of one physical GPT slot is the exact branded data
+token `GptSlotTokenV1`. The sole GPT adapter owns its mint and no publisher input can
+select it:
+
+```ts
+type GptSlotTokenV1 = string & { readonly __brand: 'GptSlotTokenV1' }
+type GptTraceCycleOrdinalV1 = number & {
+  readonly __brand: 'GptTraceCycleOrdinalV1'
+}
+const MAX_GPT_SLOT_TOKEN_ORDINAL = 4_294_967_295
+const MAX_GPT_SLOT_TOKEN_BYTES = 11
+const MAX_GPT_TRACE_CYCLE_ORDINAL = 4_294_967_295
+const MAX_GPT_TRACE_CYCLES_PER_SLOT = 10
+// Exact wire grammar: /^gt1_(?:[1-9a-z][0-9a-z]{0,6})$/ plus decoded value <= 0xffffffff.
+```
+
+The adapter starts a runtime-local unsigned ordinal at one and emits `gt1_` plus its
+lower-case canonical base-36 form, with no leading zero. It increments only after a
+successful mint, stores the string beside the adapter's private opaque identity in
+the `WeakMap` entry for that exact GPT slot object, and copies it into any runtime
+`SlotRecord` that adopts that object as its exact optional own-data field
+`readonly traceToken?: GptSlotTokenV1`. Re-observing or handing off the same physical
+object returns the same string. A newly defined/replacement object receives a new
+ordinal even when it has the same element id, ad-unit path, registered slot id, or
+publisher owner. Ordinals are never reused within one runtime; physical destruction,
+retirement, navigation disposal, map pruning, and garbage collection do not rewind
+the counter. Runtime disposal clears the weak/map state and makes every old publisher
+inert before a later runtime may begin again at one.
+
+The adapter's `gpt.events.v1` facts retain their separate frozen opaque object token
+because that direct bounded stream never crosses the generic ingress and critical
+GPT diagnostics needs same-object identity. Before publishing a GPT fact to
+`trace.v1`, the GPT integration creates a data-only projection that replaces the
+opaque token with the exact own-data field
+`slot:{token:GptSlotTokenV1,cycleOrdinal:GptTraceCycleOrdinalV1,elementId?:string}`;
+no object-valued identity enters the snapshot. Neither identity is public or render
+authority.
+
+The adapter owns a separate unsigned trace-cycle ordinal in each physical object's
+`WeakMap` state. The first unambiguous `slotRequested` for that object mints one and
+each later unambiguous physical request cycle increments it. It starts at one,
+increments only after the sole lifecycle adapter has opened that exact cycle, never
+wraps or reuses a value for the object, and survives publisher handoff. Every
+projected value must be an integer from 1 through 4,294,967,295; the reducer rejects
+zero, fractions, non-finite values, and larger values. A duplicate or overlapping
+`slotRequested` that the §2.4 lifecycle owner cannot attribute opens no trace cycle
+and emits no trace projection. Exhaustion at 4,294,967,296 latches new trace-cycle
+projection unavailable for only that physical object; its GPT lifecycle and
+`gpt.events.v1` stream continue unchanged.
+
+The adapter retains at most ten trace-cycle records per physical object, keyed by
+the ordinal, with request state, optional `responseIdentifier`, and per-event seen
+state. At most one cycle is open. Before opening another, it prunes the oldest
+completed/retired record only when the ten-record cap is full; it never evicts an
+open record. Pruning sets a permanent `unknownPriorCycle` latch for that physical
+object; the latch retains no old id but participates in future ambiguity checks and
+is cleared only when that object/runtime is disposed.
+
+A non-request GPT fact receives a cycle ordinal only from the §2.4 lifecycle owner's
+exact already-attributed cycle handle, or when response identity and retained
+per-event state leave exactly one eligible record and `unknownPriorCycle` cannot be
+the source. It is never assigned to the newest cycle by timing, element id, or slot
+token alone. A late `slotResponseReceived`, `slotRenderEnded`, `slotOnload`,
+`impressionViewable`, or `slotVisibilityChanged` that could belong to both a prior
+cycle and a newer started/completed cycle is ambiguous and produces no core-ingress
+projection. A uniquely matched old fact keeps the old ordinal even after a newer
+cycle starts. Eviction makes an otherwise unmatched later fact a diagnostics-only
+drop rather than a candidate for the current cycle; no callback can recreate an
+evicted ordinal. Destroy, redefine, and navigation disposal retire all retained
+cycles for the affected physical object, while runtime disposal clears the weak
+state.
+
+If the slot-token ordinal is exhausted, token/cycle construction or validation
+fails, or an injected test mint collides, the adapter emits no affected core-ingress
+projection and continues the GPT operation plus `gpt.events.v1` delivery unchanged.
+Already minted slot tokens and unambiguous cycles on other objects remain usable.
+The failure is reported at most once per failure class through the local logger and
+cannot fail a display, handoff, destroy, refresh, or diagnostics callback.
+
+On the first accepted `slotRequested` projection, the core trace reducer resolves
+the projection's bounded element id to exactly one current registered slot and keys
+its 256-entry diagnostics-only physical-impression map by the exact pair
+`{token,cycleOrdinal}`. The binding is
+`{slotId,navigationGeneration,baselineSeq?,historySeq?,state}` where `state` is
+`open`, `completed`, or `retired`. An unresolved, ambiguous, duplicate-active,
+stale-generation, or over-capacity binding is dropped without evicting an open entry.
+Later facts join only by the exact pair; token alone, element id, ad-unit path, and
+registered slot id are never substitutes. `slotRenderEnded` stores the exact created
+or enriched `historySeq` and completes the binding. Handoff of the same physical
+object keeps its token but each refresh receives a distinct cycle binding;
+redefine/replacement changes both the physical token and its per-object cycle
+sequence. Destroy or navigation disposal retires affected bindings. A late fact for
+a uniquely retained retired pair may enrich only its already-recorded, still-retained
+old `historySeq`; it cannot create a row, rebind to a new cycle/generation, or mutate
+new `current` state. Completed/retired bindings are pruned oldest-first before
+admitting a new binding, open bindings are never evicted, and runtime disposal clears
+the map. Exhaustion, collision, stability, handoff, repeated refresh, replacement,
+retirement, late-event, and navigation behavior remain diagnostics-only and never
+participate in GPT lifecycle authority.
+
+The critical `gpt_diagnostics` module does not subscribe to that ingress. It consumes
+only the separately bounded GPT-owned `gpt.events.v1` fact stream. The broker values
+for `trace.v1` and `trace.presentation.v1` are different frozen exact interfaces:
+`trace.v1` contains correctness fact operations and ingress publication but no
+presentation attachment, while `trace.presentation.v1` contains only
+`attachPresentation`. The release catalog grants the latter only to deferred
+`diagnostics_presentation`; APS, GPT, `gpt_later`, publishers, and the public API
+cannot obtain it.
+
+The private capability has this complete interface; no other own key is permitted:
+
+```ts
+interface RenderTracePresentationSourceV1 {
+  current(): Readonly<Record<string, Readonly<RenderTraceRecord>>>
+  history(): readonly Readonly<RenderTraceRecord>[]
+  subscribe(listener: () => void): () => void
+}
+
+interface RenderTracePresentationControlsV1 {
+  dispose(): void
+}
+
+type RenderTracePresentationFactoryV1 = (
+  source: Readonly<RenderTracePresentationSourceV1>
+) => Readonly<RenderTracePresentationControlsV1>
+
+interface TracePresentationCapabilityV1 {
+  attachPresentation(factory: RenderTracePresentationFactoryV1): () => void
+}
+```
+
+`attachPresentation(factory)` is synchronous and admits at most one live attachment.
+A non-callable factory, a reentrant/duplicate call, or a call after trace-owner
+disposal throws `TypeError` without disturbing an existing attachment. Callability
+is checked before attachment state, so a non-callable duplicate still leaves the
+first attachment untouched. The callable receives one exact frozen source with only
+`current`, `history`, and `subscribe`. While attached, `current()` and `history()`
+return the same frozen copies as the public trace API. After detach/owner disposal,
+retained source methods are inert: `current()` returns a frozen null-prototype empty
+record, `history()` returns a frozen empty array, and no runtime state is retained.
+
+`source.subscribe` checks listener callability first and throws `TypeError` for a
+non-callable listener. It then requires the attachment to be attaching or live and
+requires that no private listener is already live; either failure throws `TypeError`
+without replacing or unsubscribing the first listener. Success returns an idempotent
+zero-argument unsubscribe function that removes only that exact listener. A later
+subscribe may succeed after it unsubscribes while the attachment remains live; a
+retained subscribe call after detach/owner disposal throws `TypeError`, and a retained
+unsubscribe is a no-op. The factory must end its synchronous call with one live
+listener, perform its initial snapshot render in the attaching task, and return an
+exact frozen own-data `{dispose}` controls object. No presentation callback runs
+during attachment, so that initial snapshot precedes all live delivery.
+
+If the factory throws, returns malformed controls, or returns without a live
+listener, attachment rolls back the candidate listener and scheduled work, invokes
+an own callable candidate `dispose` once when safely available, reports any cleanup
+failure locally, and rethrows so only the deferred module transaction fails. The
+attachment slot is then reusable. Once attached, every trace commit updates the
+data store first and coalesces presentation notification into at most one owned
+zero-delay task. The callback's return value is ignored; a throw is isolated and
+reported, and the next commit can schedule again. The returned detach function is
+idempotent: it invalidates the attachment generation, cancels pending work, clears
+the private listener, and invokes controls `dispose` exactly once. Trace-owner
+disposal performs the same sequence. Late scheduler callbacks and retained source,
+unsubscribe, detach, or controls references are inert. This private attachment is
+not counted against the 32 live subscribers per public diagnostics surface.

 ## 10. Risks and mitigations
 
-| Risk                                                                 | Mitigation                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
-| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| PUC behavior differs from the local contract harness                 | keep the harness limited to the public message/helper contract, exercise `h.sendMessage`, and gate the actual externally hosted PUC release on real GAM; do not vendor PUC bytes                                                |
-| Same-realm publisher code can interfere                              | explicitly trust TS-authored owner code; capability checks defend unrelated frames, replays, and stale work, not arbitrary same-realm compromise                                                                                |
-| A module activation never returns                                    | activation is generated first-party code with boundary tests; elapsed returning calls fail through monotonic checks, but JavaScript cannot preempt a nonreturning same-thread function                                          |
-| Strict parsing rejects a future APS field                            | descriptor is versioned; outer transport remains tolerant; add a reviewed version/corpus update rather than silently accepting new semantics                                                                                    |
-| CSP blocks a legitimate APS creative                                 | three-browser real-GAM suite; script creatives remain opt-in; CSP changes are explicit security work                                                                                                                            |
-| Hard cutover breaks stale pages                                      | accepted compatibility stance; a stale hash fails locally and reload is required; retain the prior deployable binary for whole-release rollback, not N/N-1 routes in the active binary                                          |
-| Kernel extraction changes unrelated integrations                     | per-integration pre/post behavior corpus, adapter fakes, current full suites, behavioral maximal-bundle test, and exact disposal assertions                                                                                     |
-| Optional code drifts back into the critical artifact                 | release-catalog phase/dependency validation, production metafile deny paths, semantic critical-set budgets, and reviewable named parser-time obligations                                                                        |
-| A deferred feature is called before its module is ready              | caller deadlines start at original enqueue and may expire while gated; after the paint gate, live waiters share one independently bounded module load with no duplicate/fallback/runtime                                        |
-| First display never occurs, so deferred work starves                 | the owned 10-second post-kernel no-display guard becomes the trigger, followed by bounded idle scheduling or the owned timer fallback                                                                                           |
-| A page waits past 10 seconds before its first display                | accepted explicit boundary: correctness still uses critical owners, but the post-window display may contend with already released later work and is excluded from the protected-load claim                                      |
-| A forged/replaced script registers into the runtime                  | exact same-origin catalog URL, release/id/phase match, core-created element identity, `document.currentScript`, single terminal registration, and generation checks                                                             |
-| Publisher CSP or Trusted Types blocks a deferred module              | preserve the publisher policy; copy only the authenticated critical nonce, use one exact-manifest Trusted Types policy when allowed, validate default-policy output, and isolate `policy_blocked` without a second sink/runtime |
-| Phase splitting duplicates product ownership                         | one broker provider per capability, immutable interfaces, critical-before-deferred dependency rule, identity/disposal tests, and no public service locator                                                                      |
-| Deferred loading reduces critical bytes but grows total release size | independent immutable maximal-total raw/gzip/Brotli budget and complete release inventory; splitting alone cannot make the gate pass                                                                                            |
-| One deferred module stalls unrelated later behavior                  | start every independent deferred transaction after the common gate without awaiting siblings; separate deadlines and no deferred-to-deferred capability edges prevent head-of-line blocking                                     |
-| `rc/july` moves after the design is approved                         | pin `905984e62`; stop before code changes, diff all inventoried TSJS/bootstrap/browser paths, and update the ledger/tests explicitly                                                                                            |
-| Diagnostics change ad behavior or overclaim a render                 | one-way observation bus, bounded early-event replay, isolated subscribers, honest `gam-only`/`ok` rules, inactive zero-side-effect tests, and no correctness dependency                                                         |
-| Bounded registries refuse traffic under extreme churn                | explicit reservation `registry_full` and slot `registry_capacity`, lifecycle pruning, capacity stress tests; never trade correctness for eviction                                                                               |
-| GPT event attribution remains ambiguous                              | fail the TS attempt deterministically and never trigger fallback from ambiguous/publisher-owned activity                                                                                                                        |
-| Late async work mutates new SPA state                                | generation checks, owned disposers, terminal latch, and adversarial reversed-order tests                                                                                                                                        |
-| Browser tests report iframe load but not APS success                 | require the bound APS render-completion callback and inspect network/DOM evidence                                                                                                                                               |
-| APS runner becomes unavailable or stops the callback                 | load/rejection/silence fail the attempt; real-browser conformance blocks release and APS disablement is the emergency containment path                                                                                          |
-| APS runner reports completion incorrectly                            | accepted external trust risk; protected conformance checks DOM/network behavior, but cannot prove future mutable bytes; suspect behavior disables APS                                                                           |
-| Existing operational signals are weak                                | do not invent telemetry in this spec; hold deployment or write a separate observability design                                                                                                                                  |

+    remains stable through handoff, is never reused within the runtime, and differs
+    across redefine/replacement even when publisher identifiers match. Each
+    unambiguous physical request admitted to trace projection receives a distinct
+    nonreused per-object cycle ordinal, and trace facts join only through that
+    compound identity; ambiguous requests are omitted fail-closed. Token/cycle mint,

+- [ ] **Step E7: Implement and run the real browser-time, retained-heap, and request-
+      ordering gate before production wiring.** The browser fixture must exercise the
+      generated server controller, real critical artifact, one runtime, and real
+      first-display adapter through test-only prospective routes/composition; it may
+      not switch any production emitter or use `window.__tsjsPerf`. On Chromium
+      145.0.7632.6, `github-hosted:ubuntu-24.04`, and fixture
+      `tsjs-core-placeholder-v1`, use exactly five warmups and 50 samples, require the
+      real `tsjs:bids-script` and `tsjs:first-display` marks, and enforce p90 ≤28.6 ms
+      without selective reruns.
+
+  In one separate fresh Chromium context, run the real fixture once. At each heap
+  checkpoint, send `HeapProfiler.collectGarbage` exactly once, immediately read the
+  single `Runtime.getHeapUsage.usedSize`, and enforce 1,329,697 bytes after boot,
+  1,333,217 after first render, 1,333,217 after refresh, and 1,341,419 after SPA
+  navigation. Also assert exactly one critical TSJS request; no deferred request,
+  preload, preparation, or execution before `tsjs:first-display-paint`; independent
+  deferred starts after the gate; and no head-of-line blocking. Performance cannot
+  waive a correctness failure.
+
+  Put the entire measurement job—pinned runner/image, fixture preparation, commands,
+  environment, and named artifact upload—in standalone
+  `.github/workflows/tsjs-performance-gate.yml`, with `workflow_dispatch` and reusable
+  `workflow_call` inputs for evidence id and `preswitch | postswitch` mode. Other
+  workflows may call this file but cannot duplicate or redefine its measurement
+  steps.
+
+  ```bash
+  TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs \
+  TS_BROWSER_PROJECTS=chromium \
+  TSJS_PERF_MODE=gate \
+  TSJS_PERF_OUTPUT=crates/trusted-server-integration-tests/browser/test-results/tsjs-performance-preswitch.json \

+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:bundle
+  ```
+
+  Stage only the performance test and workflow wiring, commit and push, then dispatch
+  the focused integration workflow for that exact pushed SHA with a unique evidence
+  id and wait for its named pre-switch performance job to succeed. Upload the non-
+  baseline result as immutable pre-switch evidence; never overwrite the Task 0
+  fixture or Task 18E capture. Any pre-Task19 change to a production artifact or its
+  build inputs invalidates the role-correct capture and must receive separate design
+  review; E7 changes only the browser gate and workflow wiring.

Subject: [PATCH 424/494] Remove merge-duplicated code left by the main merges

The textual merges double-inserted blocks that compiled silently:

- gpt_bootstrap.js carried two full copies of the slot-handoff helper
  section; JS shadowing made the stale rc copy dead code. The file now
  matches main exactly.
- types.ts declared GptSlotHandoff twice (TS declaration merging hid it).
- The #963 squash on main added its own copies of the APS registry tests
  that had been ported into prebid/index.test.ts and ad_init.test.ts,
  leaving seven tests duplicated under identical titles; the copies
  matching main are kept.
- Restore main's comment wording in core/render.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 425/494] Remove renamed duplicates of tests main already
 carries

The requestId-strip APS registry test and the hb_adid omission test
existed under rc names alongside main's renamed copies of the same
bodies; keep main's versions.

Subject: [PATCH 426/494] Fix remaining merge artifacts caught by typechecking

- prebid/index.test.ts: drop duplicated vi.hoisted destructure keys,
  duplicated mockPbjs properties, and a doubled fixture import.
- request.test.ts: type AddAdUnitsArg from the imported AdUnit instead
  of a Parameters<> lookup on a symbol that is only imported inside
  test bodies.

+The corrected pinned pre-switch capture at commit

+30.5 ms p90. The former 26 ms value came from the obsolete synthetic controller and
+smaller core-only workload, so its 28.6 ms ceiling is not a valid comparison for the
+real critical graph. Applying the same 10% policy to the corrected real-path capture
+sets the p90 ceiling to 33.6 ms (`ceil(30.5 × 1.10 × 10) / 10`). This calibration is
+an instrument correction, not permission to recapture after production wiring or to
+select a favorable run. The job runs the declared sample set once and never

+checkpoints after boot, first render, refresh, and SPA navigation. After the display
+samples, the job opens one separate fresh browser context, executes the real fixture
+once, and at each checkpoint sends `HeapProfiler.collectGarbage` once followed immediately by
 `Runtime.getHeapUsage`; the single `usedSize` is the checkpoint statistic (there is
 no hidden averaging, maximum selection, or rerun). The checked-in baseline and exact
 10% floor ceilings are:

-### Staging test bypass
-
-For short-lived browser automation on an access-controlled staging site, you
-can configure a static header credential that skips only the server-side
-Protection API:
-
-```toml
-[integrations.datadome.protection_test_bypass]
-enabled = true
-credential_secret_store = "ts_secrets"
-credential_secret_name = "datadome_test_bypass"
-```
-
-`protection_test_bypass` requires `enable_protection = true`; it is disabled
-when omitted. Store the temporary credential in the configured Secret Store,
-configure this section only while needed, protect the site with an outer access
-control such as Basic Auth, and remove the section when testing finishes. Do not
-enable it in production.
-
-The fixed `x-ts-datadome-bypass` header is compared in constant time, removed
-before the request can reach DataDome or the publisher origin, and never
-logged. Scope the header to the staging origin; do not attach it to every
-request in a browser context because that can disclose the credential to
-third-party origins. With Playwright:
-
-```ts
-await context.route('https://staging.example.com/**', async (route) => {
-  const headers = {
-    ...route.request().headers(),
-    'x-ts-datadome-bypass': process.env.DATADOME_TEST_BYPASS!,
-  }
-  await route.continue({ headers })
-})
-```
-
-### Client-side tag suppression behavior
-
-On the Fastly adapter, a request that matches an IP-based DataDome exclusion
-or the configured test-bypass credential also omits Trusted Server's
-automatically injected client-side DataDome tag from processed HTML. This keeps
-the client-side layer consistent with the server-side Protection API skip.
-
-This behavior applies to:
-
-- `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`;
-- `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`;
-- structured `ip_cidr` rules;
-- structured `ip_cidr_source` rules; and
-- a matching enabled `protection_test_bypass` credential.
-
-ASN, method, path, query-parameter, static-asset, and internal-route
-exclusions do not automatically suppress the client-side tag. DataDome tags
-already present in publisher HTML are not removed or changed by this behavior,
-and `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available when requested directly.
-
-Because the processed HTML differs by client IP or test credential,
-tag-suppressed HTML is marked `private, max-age=0` and removed from shared
-surrogate caches. The decision is reported in the existing protection log, for
-example:
-
-```text
-[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=protection-test-bypass reason=test_bypass client_tag=omitted method=GET
-```
-
 ### Structured exclusion rules
 
 Use structured rules for all DataDome protection exclusions. Each rule has an `id`, optional `methods`, and a typed matcher. The default configuration includes a `path_regex` rule for common static assets.

-
-The Fastly-only scope means that other adapters receive the default

-
-## Runtime contracts
-
-1. **Trusted identity source:** determine exclusion from
-   `RuntimeServices::client_info().client_ip`, never a caller-provided header.
-2. **Single evaluation:** use the existing `ProtectionScope` decision. Do not
-   evaluate CIDRs a second time while injecting HTML; this avoids diverging
-   Config Store/cache behavior.
-3. **Private marker:** communicate the decision with a typed request extension,
-   never a request/response header. The marker cannot leak to the origin or
-   client.
-4. **Precise scope:** tag suppression is keyed only on decision reasons
-   `client_ip`, `client_ip_source`, `ip_cidr`, and `ip_cidr_source`.
-5. **Cache safety:** an HTML response with the tag omitted differs by client IP.
-   A suppressed processed HTML response must be `private, max-age=0` and have
-   `Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` removed. Do not alter
-   cache headers when the response is not processed HTML, because this feature
-   does not alter that body.
-6. **No behavior drift:** DataDome proxy endpoints, response-header effects,
-   `rewrite_sdk`, and DataDome tags that were already in origin HTML retain
-   their current behavior.

-## Task 1: Make the request-filter input capable of private annotations
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
-- Test: its existing `#[cfg(test)]` module
-
-The current `RequestFilterInput` holds `&Request<EdgeBody>`. Change it to hold
-`&mut Request<EdgeBody>` so a request filter can add a typed extension. This is
-the narrowest safe transport because the registry already has exclusive mutable
-access to the request while it invokes each filter.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add a regression test for an extension-producing filter.** Create
-      a test-only zero-sized marker and filter that writes it to
-      `input.request.extensions_mut()`. Run `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`
-      and assert the original mutable request has the marker afterward. In the
-      same test, verify normal `RequestFilterEffects` still apply their request
-      header mutation and return their response header mutation.
-- [ ] **Step 2: Change `RequestFilterInput::request` to a mutable borrow.** Keep
-      the `IntegrationRequestFilter` method signature and `RequestFilterEffects`
-      unchanged.
-- [ ] **Step 3: Update `IntegrationRegistry::filter_request`.** Pass its existing
-      `&mut Request` directly to each `RequestFilterInput`. Keep the ordering:
-      filter mutation first, then registry-applied request-header effects, then
-      the next filter.
-- [ ] **Step 4: Update all direct filter tests and test filters.** Calls that build
-      `RequestFilterInput` must construct a mutable request and pass
-      `request: &mut request`. Read-only filters should continue to compile by
-      simply not mutating the request.
-- [ ] **Step 5: Run focused tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly integrations::registry
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** a filter can retain a typed marker for downstream route handling
-without emitting a synthetic `x-*` header, and existing header effects retain
-their behavior.

-## Task 2: Mark IP-based DataDome exclusions and log the outcome
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
-- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
-- Reuse: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection_scope.rs`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add a crate-private marker in `datadome.rs`.** Define a
-      zero-sized type with a behavior-oriented name, such as
-      `DataDomeClientTagSuppressed`. It must be visible to `publisher.rs` and
-      `protection.rs` through `pub(crate)`, but must not be exported as public
-      integration configuration or API.
-- [ ] **Step 2: Add an IP-reason predicate beside protection logging.** Centralize
-      the exact four eligible scope reasons in one helper:
-
-```rust
-matches!(reason, "client_ip" | "client_ip_source" | "ip_cidr" | "ip_cidr_source")
-```
-
-      Do not infer eligibility from rule ID: Config Store source rule IDs are
-      operator-configured strings.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Make `filter_protection_request` own a mutable input and pass it
-      mutably to `is_request_protected`.** In the existing
-      `ProtectionScopeDecision::Skip` arm:
-  1. determine whether the reason is IP-based;
-  2. if so, insert the typed marker into `input.request.extensions_mut()`;
-  3. call the updated skip logger with `client_tag_omitted = true`; and
-  4. return `false` exactly as today so the Protection API is not called.
-
-     Do not set the marker for the early method/integration/internal-route
-     returns. Do not set it when the API call returns a fail-open error.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Update `log_protection_skip`.** Keep IP exclusions at `info` and
-      non-IP exclusions at `debug`. For the IP branch, extend the existing
-      structured text after the reason with `client_tag=omitted`; retain rule,
-      reason, method, host, and path, but do not include the client IP. The
-      desired shape is:
-
-```text
-[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Add filter-level marker tests.** Add small helpers in the
-      protection test module to build `RuntimeServices` with a fixed client IP,
-      optional Config Store data, and a mutable request. For each case, call
-      `filter_protection_request`, assert it returns `Continue`, and inspect the
-      request extension:
-  - inline `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs` match → marker present;
-  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources` match → marker present;
-  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidr` match → marker present;
-  - structured `ProtectionMatcherConfig::IpCidrSource` match → marker present.
-
-    Clear the process-global CIDR-source test cache before and after source
-    tests so cached values cannot affect another case.
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Add negative filter-level tests.** Assert the marker is absent
-      for a non-matching IP, a configured ASN match, a structured path match,
-      a structured query match, an excluded method, and an internal/integration
-      route. Reuse the existing `ProtectionScope` unit tests for matching
-      semantics; these new tests verify only the new side effect.
-- [ ] **Step 7: Preserve API-call behavior.** For an IP marker test, use an HTTP
-      client double that records calls or errors if called. Assert no Protection
-      API request is sent. This protects against accidentally marking a request
-      while still invoking DataDome.
-- [ ] **Step 8: Run focused tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly datadome::protection
-cargo test-fastly datadome::protection_scope
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** only the four IP decision reasons add the private marker and
-produce the augmented informational skip log; all other exclusion and fail-open
-paths keep their current tag behavior.

-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`

-### Data flow to implement
-
-```text
-DataDomeClientTagSuppressed request extension
-  -> bool captured by handle_publisher_request before origin dispatch
-  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
-  -> ProcessResponseParams / HtmlStreamProcessorParams
-  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
-  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
-  -> DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Capture the marker once in `handle_publisher_request`.** Read
-      `req.extensions().get::<DataDomeClientTagSuppressed>().is_some()` before
-      `req` is rewritten and moved into `PlatformHttpRequest`. Store the boolean
-      only in the `PublisherResponse::Stream` parameters, because that is the
-      only response route that passes through HTML injection.
-- [ ] **Step 2: Add a boolean to the owned and borrowed publisher-processing
-      parameter structs.** Add a clearly named field such as
-      `suppress_datadome_client_side_tag` to:
-  - `OwnedProcessResponseParams`;
-  - `ProcessResponseParams`; and
-  - `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`.
-
-    Pass it through all three existing HTML construction sites:
-
-  - `PublisherBodyProcessor::new` for async buffered processing;
-  - `process_response_streaming` for synchronous processing; and
-  - `stream_publisher_body_async` for the Fastly streaming auction-hold path.
-
-    Every test fixture that constructs `OwnedProcessResponseParams` directly
-    must set `false` unless it explicitly exercises suppression.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `HtmlProcessorConfig`.** Add the same boolean, default it
-      to `false` in `from_settings`, and add a narrow builder method used by
-      `create_html_stream_processor`. Update direct `HtmlProcessorConfig`
-      fixtures and the benchmark fixture to set `false` explicitly.
-- [ ] **Step 4: Extend `IntegrationHtmlContext`.** Add the boolean as immutable
-      request-scoped context. Populate it at both construction sites in
-      `html_processor.rs`:
-  - the streaming `<head>` element handler; and
-  - `HtmlWithPostProcessing::process_chunk` for full-document post-processors.
-
-    Update every test helper that constructs `IntegrationHtmlContext` to set
-    `false` by default.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Add plumbing tests.**
-  - `HtmlProcessorConfig::from_settings` defaults to non-suppressed.
-  - A test head injector records the context flag and sees `true` when a config
-    is built with suppression.
-  - A `publisher.rs` route test inserts the DataDome marker into a request,
-    receives a processable HTML `PublisherResponse::Stream`, and verifies the
-    owned parameters carry `true`.
-  - A buffered and a streaming-body path both preserve `true` to head injection.
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly html_processor
-cargo test-fastly publisher
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** the decision is read once from a private request extension and
-is available to every head injector for every processed HTML response, including

-## Task 4: Omit only Trusted Server's injected DataDome tag
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
-- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
-- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs` or `publisher.rs`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add a direct head-injector regression test.** With a client-side
-      key configured and `ctx.suppress_datadome_client_side_tag = true`, assert
-      `head_inserts()` returns an empty vector. The same config with `false`
-      must still return exactly one snippet containing both `window.ddjskey` and
-      the configured tag URL.
-- [ ] **Step 2: Implement the guard as the first condition in
-      `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts`.** Return an empty vector when the
-      context flag is true; otherwise retain all current serialization,
-      escaping, blank-key, and `inject_client_side_tag` behavior unchanged.
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add an end-to-end HTML pipeline test.** Configure the DataDome
-      integration with a client-side key, process representative HTML with
-      suppression enabled, and assert the result contains neither:
-
-```text
-window.ddjskey=
-/integrations/datadome/tags.js
-```
-
-      Repeat with suppression disabled and assert both appear.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Pin publisher-originated-tag behavior.** Feed origin HTML that
-      contains a DataDome `tags.js` element. With suppression enabled, assert
-      that element remains in output and is rewritten by `rewrite_sdk` exactly
-      as before. This distinguishes automatic injection from origin markup.
-- [ ] **Step 5: Pin direct route behavior.** Retain or add a DataDome proxy test
-      showing that `GET /integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains registered and
-      fetches/proxies the SDK normally; suppression affects only HTML injection.
-- [ ] **Step 6: Run focused tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly datadome
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** suppression removes only the generated configuration/script
-pair; nothing removes publisher markup or disables DataDome endpoints.

-## Task 5: Make tag-suppressed processed HTML private
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
-- Test: `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
-
-The automatic tag makes the processed HTML vary by client IP. Cache privacy is
-therefore a correctness and protection requirement, not an optional
-optimization.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add a failing cache-privacy test.** Build a `PublisherResponse`
-      with a processable HTML content type, suppression `true`, and cacheable
-      origin headers (`Cache-Control`, `Surrogate-Control`, and
-      `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`). Assert the stream response is:
-  - `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0`; and
-  - missing both surrogate cache headers.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Apply privacy only in the `ResponseRoute::Stream` HTML arm.**
-      After response classification confirms a processable HTML stream, use the
-      existing per-user ad-stack policy as the model. Do not alter cache headers
-      for CSS, RSC, non-processable pass-through, unsupported encodings, HEAD,
-      204/205/304, or responses without suppression: none has a body variation
-      created by this feature.
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add non-regression cache tests.** Verify that:
-  - non-suppressed processed HTML keeps its existing cache headers unless
-    another existing policy changes them;
-  - a suppressed CSS/non-HTML stream is not made private by this feature; and
-  - existing ad-stack privacy behavior remains unchanged when both features are
-    active.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run focused tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly publisher
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** a shared cache cannot replay an IP-excluded client's tagless
-HTML to a non-excluded visitor, while unchanged responses retain their existing
-cacheability.
-

-
-## Task 6: Add Fastly-path regression coverage
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs` tests only if the
-  existing dispatch helpers can exercise the DataDome registry with a stubbed
-  publisher response.
-- Otherwise, document the existing core filter + publisher pipeline tests as
-  the executable behavioral coverage; do not refactor Fastly production code
-  merely to enable a duplicate test.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Extend the existing Fastly request-filter dispatch regression
-      test or add a focused equivalent.** Configure a DataDome request filter,
-      insert trusted `ClientInfo` into the request extensions with a matching
-      IP, and confirm the filter runs before publisher routing.
-- [ ] **Step 2: Assert that the routed request retains the private DataDome
-      marker.** The assertion must inspect request extensions or the processed
-      HTML result, not an HTTP header.
-- [ ] **Step 3: Ensure no actual DataDome API call occurs for the matching IP.**
-      Use a recording/failing HTTP client or the existing Fastly test seam.
-- [ ] **Step 4: Add the non-matching counterpart.** It must not receive the
-      marker and must continue to inject the configured tag when HTML is
-      processed.
-- [ ] **Step 5: Run Fastly adapter tests.**
-
-```bash
-cargo test-fastly
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** the production adapter's actual filter ordering preserves the
-marker from authoritative Fastly client metadata through publisher HTML
-processing. If the current test seam cannot stub a full origin response, retain
-this as focused request-filter-order coverage and rely on Task 3's core
-pipeline tests for body output rather than expanding adapter production code.

-## Task 7: Document operator-visible behavior
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
-- Do not modify: `trusted-server.example.toml`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add a subsection adjacent to “Protected traffic” or “Client-side
-      setup.”** State that, on Fastly, an IP exclusion skips the Protection API
-      and suppresses only Trusted Server's automatic DataDome tag injection on
-      processed HTML.
-- [ ] **Step 2: List the four covered IP sources.** Use the exact configuration
-      names and structured rule types.
-- [ ] **Step 3: State the exclusions that do not suppress the client tag.** ASN,
-      method, path, query, static-asset, and internal-route exclusions retain
-      normal auto-injection.
-- [ ] **Step 4: State the limits.** Publisher-originated/manual tags are not
-      removed; `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` remains available; no new
-      configuration is required; and tag-suppressed processed HTML is private
-      to prevent shared-cache replay.
-- [ ] **Step 5: Add the diagnostic example.** Use an example-only host/IP and
-      include `client_tag=omitted` with rule and reason.
-- [ ] **Step 6: Format-check the changed documentation.**
-
-```bash
-cd docs
-npx prettier --check guide/integrations/datadome.md \
-  superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag-design.md \
-  superpowers/plans/2026-08-03-datadome-ip-excluded-client-tag.md
-```
-
-**Acceptance:** operators can predict exactly when the tag will be omitted and
-understand that this is an IP-based Fastly behavior, not a general exclusion
-side effect.
-
----
-
-## Final verification
-
-- [ ] Confirm the working tree contains only the intended core, Fastly-test,
-      guide, spec, and plan changes.

-
-- [ ] Run required lint suites.
-
-```bash
-cargo clippy-fastly

-
-- [ ] Run the docs check from Task 7.
-- [ ] Review the diff for accidental exposure of the marker as a request or
-      response header, duplicate CIDR evaluation, unintended publisher-tag
-      removal, or shared-cacheable tag-suppressed HTML.
-
-## Deferred acceptance
-
-Do **not** perform live production/browser verification in this change. After

+- [ ] **Step A1: Test-drive finite TSJS transport resolution.** Construct and hash
+      every supported critical selection once during registry construction. Store
+      exact hash-to-selection and selection-to-critical-URL mappings, resolve misses
+      without concatenating or hashing module bodies, and reuse the precomputed URL
+      for boot metadata and the critical script tag. A hit may assemble the response
+      body once. Add focused tests that reject unknown hashes and prove page assembly
+      reuses the registered identity. Remove the unconditional APS auction-body clone
+      before provider-enabled dispatch.
+
+- [ ] **Step A2: Test-drive raw-proxy timeout parity.** Cloudflare must race initial
+      response against `first_byte_timeout`, every body read against
+      `blocking_read_timeout`, and the complete operation against
+      `total_timeout`, aborting and discarding on every losing branch. Fastly must
+      wait on its pending request rather than sleep-polling while retaining the
+      backend and total deadlines. Run the focused adapter corpus for header stall,
+      inter-chunk stall, total slow drip, redirect, oversize, invalid evidence, and
+      success before the four-runtime runner-proxy suite.
+
+- [ ] **Step A3: Make the anonymous route boundary operationally explicit.** Add one
+      startup warning when a `[[handlers]]` expression overlaps a reserved APS
+      browser route. Keep routing before Basic Auth: renderer and live-runner requests
+      are intentionally anonymous. Document platform admission control, rate
+      limiting, and shielding without adding an in-process auth gate, runner cache,
+      successful-response `Cache-Control`, vendor bytes, digest, version, or pin.
+
+- [ ] **Step A4: Reduce the critical runtime before accepting a new budget.** Remove
+      diagnostics presentation, post-paint trace UI, refresh-only behavior,
+      SPA/later-navigation behavior, optional integration implementations, duplicated
+      helpers, and test seams from the parser-blocking graph. Keep first-display
+      correctness owners and one runtime. Build from a clean pushed SHA and require:
+
+  Co-bundle the mandatory render provider with the sole core runtime so shared
+  dependencies are emitted once. Keep `tsjs-render_runtime.js` as a release-stamped
+  catalog marker only: it preserves logical provider membership and ordering but
+  must contain no implementation, listener, timer, port, or second runtime.
+  Capture logical-provider sources separately from physical marker ownership and
+  fail if any provider source appears outside its one physical owner, regardless of
+  the captured general source-owner list. Freeze a report of the twenty largest
+  rendered-source contributions and all repeated source attributions.
+  - minimal critical ≤ 220,000 raw bytes and ≤59,000 gzip bytes;
+  - minimal-critical Brotli < the corresponding `roleCorrectTransfer` value;
+  - reference-critical raw/gzip/Brotli < their `roleCorrectTransfer` values; and
+  - maximal total does not grow.
+
+  The raw/gzip limits are an initial mechanical-deduplication ceiling informed by a
+  214,538-raw / 58,503-gzip prototype before release stamping, not equivalence to the
+  legacy artifact. Preserve `roleCorrectTransfer` as immutable intermediate
+  evidence, append `reviewRemediationTransfer` with its own full provenance, and
+  enforce future 5% ceilings only from the reviewed reduced capture. Keep the
+  original historical values visible as deltas.
+
+- [ ] **Step A5: Add a network-shaped candidate-versus-`main` gate.** Fetch and
+      attest the exact current `origin/main` SHA, build `main` and the candidate
+      independently, and serve each actual page shape and critical bytes over HTTP.
+      Feature-detect main's artifact shape. For legacy main, consume its real built
+      `tsjs-core.js`, `tsjs-creative.js`, and `tsjs-gpt.js`, enable the same default
+      creative policy, and drive its legacy `adInit` contract instead of relabeling an
+      older phase-aware capture as main. For release-v1 main and the candidate,
+      compare the same `[core, render_runtime, creative, gpt]` critical selection and
+      enabled creative policy. Keep the main loader forward-valid: after
+      cutover reaches `main`, it must consume that SHA's release-v1 inventory and
+      controller rather than failing or treating release-v1 bytes as legacy.
+      Apply Chromium CDP `Network.emulateNetworkConditions` before either variant's
+      navigation with checked-in 150 ms latency, 1.6 Mbit/s download, 750 kbit/s
+      upload, and zero packet loss. In one Chromium process, alternate five warmups
+      and 50 samples per side. Measure through a common cross-version first-display
+      action, not a candidate-only mark, so critical transfer, parse, evaluation, and
+      work through first GPT display/refresh or direct insertion are included;
+      require candidate p90 ≤ `main` p90 × 1.10. Record exact SHAs, artifact models,
+      exact served critical byte counts, profile, pair order, and distributions in
+      schema-5 evidence. Use soft Playwright budget assertions only so every timing
+      and heap checkpoint is collected and written before the run fails; validation
+      and artifact upload run with `always()` and still fail the job on any exceeded
+      budget. The same run retains the candidate's real User Timing and
+      deferred-order checks plus the main-paired retained-heap checkpoints. Request
+      interception, an environment-selected profile, a fixed historical SHA, or an
+      unshaped loopback comparison cannot satisfy this step. Wire the standalone
+      workflow to relevant pull-request paths while preserving its dispatch and

-# Dedicated Server-Side Ad Templates Switch and Cache Policy Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** Implement this plan task-by-task, keeping the dedicated
-> template switch separate from the global auction configuration.
-
-**Goal:** Add an explicit on/off switch for server-side ad templates, while
-retaining the browser-facing cache policy from issue #1007:
-
-- Server-side ad templates active: `Cache-Control: private, no-store`.
-- Server-side ad templates inactive: `Cache-Control: max-age=60`, unless the
-  origin already sends `private` or `no-store`.
-- CDN-specific cache headers must not change when templates are inactive.
-
-**Issue context:** The current cache-policy change uses the runtime
-`should_run_ad_stack` gate. That gate is also affected by `[auction].enabled`,
-which is not the right configuration boundary for publisher templates. A
-browser can call `POST /auction`, and that endpoint is a separate server-run
-auction API. The new switch must disable publisher HTML/page-bids template
-delivery without disabling that API.
-
-## Configuration decision
-
-Add this field to the existing `[creative_opportunities]` section:
-
-```toml
-[creative_opportunities]
-enabled = true
-```
-
-Use `enabled = false` to turn off server-side ad templates while retaining the
-slot definitions and keeping direct `POST /auction` behavior available.
-
-### Compatibility rules
-
-- The field defaults to `true` when omitted, preserving existing behavior for
-  deployments that already have `[creative_opportunities]` configured.
-- The section remains optional. An absent section continues to mean that the
-  feature is unavailable.
-- Serialize the default `true` value as omitted, matching the existing
-  rollback-compatibility pattern for newer creative-opportunity fields. An
-  explicit `false` must remain serialized so the setting is not silently lost.
-- `auction.enabled` remains a separate auction/orchestrator setting. Do not use
-  it as the dedicated template switch and do not thread the new template flag
-  into `POST /auction`.
-
-## Current cache behavior to retain
-
-The existing HTML policy block in `publisher.rs` must remain structurally
-consistent with the current issue #952 behavior:
-
-1. For an eligible request that runs the server-side ad stack and receives HTML:
-   - Set `Cache-Control: private, no-store`.
-   - Remove `ETag` and `Last-Modified`.
-   - Remove `Surrogate-Control`, `Fastly-Surrogate-Control`, `CDN-Cache-Control`,
-     and `Cloudflare-CDN-Cache-Control`.
-2. For HTML where the server-side ad stack does not run, including an explicit
-   template disable:
-   - Read the browser-facing `Cache-Control` header.
-   - If its value contains `private` or `no-store`, case-insensitively, preserve
-     the origin value exactly.
-   - Otherwise set exactly `Cache-Control: max-age=60`.
-   - Leave validators and all CDN-specific cache headers untouched.
-3. Preserve the later adapter response-privacy finalization for cookie-bearing
-   responses; this plan does not refactor that behavior.
-
-## File map
-
-### Configuration and compatibility
-
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/creative_opportunities.rs`
-  - Add `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig::enabled` with a default-true serde
-    implementation and documentation.
-  - Add a small accessor if it improves readability, but keep the source of
-    truth in this config type.
-  - Update config constructors and serialization tests.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/settings.rs`
-  - Keep `creative_opportunities` parsing and runtime preparation compatible with
-    the new field.
-  - Make `creative_opportunity_slots()` return an empty slice when the section
-    is absent or explicitly disabled, so all adapters receive one consistent
-    runtime view.
-  - Add TOML and environment-override coverage for `enabled = false`.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/config.rs`
-  - Extend legacy-schema tests to prove default `enabled = true` is omitted from
-    serialized blobs and remains readable by older binaries.
-  - Prove an explicit `enabled = false` is serialized, making rollback failure
-    loud rather than silently re-enabling templates.
-- `trusted-server.example.toml`
-  - Document `creative_opportunities.enabled` and show how to turn templates off
-    without deleting slot definitions.
-- `docs/guide/configuration.md`
-  - Add the field to the creative-opportunities reference and document the
-    environment override:
-    `TRUSTED_SERVER__CREATIVE_OPPORTUNITIES__ENABLED=false`.
-  - Clarify that this switch controls publisher HTML/page-bids template
-    delivery, not direct `POST /auction` callers.
-- `CHANGELOG.md`
-  - Add an entry describing the dedicated template switch and cache behavior.
-
-### Publisher execution and cache policy
-
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
-  - Include the dedicated flag in the initial publisher eligibility decision.
-  - Do not match, dispatch, or inject server-side ad templates when the flag is
-    false, even if slots are configured and `[auction].enabled` is true.
-  - Apply the issue #1007 inactive-HTML cache policy in this state.
-  - Update skip-reason diagnostics/telemetry so `ad_templates_disabled` is
-    distinguishable from `auction_disabled`, consent denial, bots, prefetch, and
-    no matching slots.
-  - Update `handle_page_bids` so an explicit template disable returns the normal
-    empty JSON shape (`slots: []`, `bids: {}`) rather than slot definitions. Keep
-    the current `404` behavior for an absent `[creative_opportunities]` section.
-  - Extend the existing SSAT cache-policy and eligibility tests.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/auction/endpoints.rs`
-  - Do not gate `POST /auction` on the new template flag.
-  - Add a regression test or test fixture proving that disabling
-    `creative_opportunities.enabled` does not suppress a direct auction request
-    when providers are configured.
-  - Separately document/verify the existing behavior of `[auction].enabled` for
-    this endpoint; do not conflate that global setting with the new template
-    switch.
-
-### Adapter propagation and browser behavior
-
-The adapters already pass `Settings::creative_opportunity_slots()` into the
-publisher/page-bids handlers. Update and verify these call sites so the central
-empty-slice behavior is honored; avoid adding four divergent config checks:
-
-- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-fastly/src/app.rs`
-- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-axum/src/app.rs`
-- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-cloudflare/src/app.rs`
-- `crates/trusted-server-adapter-spin/src/app.rs`
-
-No route-level flag is needed if the core `Settings` accessor and handlers are
-correct. Add adapter route assertions only where existing fixtures make them
-useful.
-
-The browser runtime already defaults `window.tsjs.adSlots` and
-`window.tsjs.bids` to empty values when the edge does not inject templates. If
-terminology is updated, adjust these comments/tests without changing runtime
-semantics:
-
-- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/core/index.ts`
-- `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/integrations/gpt/index.ts`
-- Relevant page-bids tests under `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/integrations/gpt/`
-
-## Implementation tasks
-
-### Task 1: Add and serialize the dedicated setting
-
-- [ ] Add `enabled: bool` to `CreativeOpportunitiesConfig` with default `true`.
-- [ ] Use `skip_serializing_if` so the default value does not appear in stored
-      config blobs; explicit `false` must serialize.
-- [ ] Update all Rust struct literals in `creative_opportunities.rs` and
-      `publisher.rs` tests.
-- [ ] Add parsing, default, false-value, and environment-override tests.
-- [ ] Update the legacy compatibility tests in `config.rs`.
-
-### Task 2: Thread the setting through publisher eligibility
-
-- [ ] Update `should_run_server_side_ad_stack` to accept the dedicated template
-      flag as an explicit gate, with a descriptive parameter/doc comment.
-- [ ] Ensure initial publisher slot matching and `Settings::creative_opportunity_slots`
-      do not expose slots when templates are disabled.
-- [ ] Preserve the existing `[auction].enabled` and consent gates as separate
-      conditions.
-- [ ] Add an `ad_templates_disabled` diagnostic/telemetry skip reason where the
-      current branch records a skipped auction.
-
-### Task 3: Apply the cache policy to the dedicated-off state
-
-- [ ] Keep the active-SSAT `private, no-store` behavior and validator/CDN header
-      removal unchanged.
-- [ ] Keep the inactive-HTML `max-age=60` behavior from issue #1007.
-- [ ] Verify that explicit template disable changes only browser-facing
-      `Cache-Control` for cacheable HTML; preserve `ETag`, `Last-Modified`, and
-      every CDN-specific header.
-- [ ] Verify that origin `private`, `PRIVATE`, `no-store`, and `No-Store` values
-      remain unchanged.
-
-### Task 4: Gate SPA page-bids/template delivery
-
-- [ ] Include `co_config.enabled` in the `ad_stack_enabled` decision in
-      `handle_page_bids`.
-- [ ] Return empty slots and bids for an explicit disable while retaining the
-      endpoint and its existing response privacy headers.
-- [ ] Keep the absent-section `404` behavior unchanged.
-- [ ] Add tests for enabled, disabled, absent, consent-denied, bot, and prefetch
-      cases as appropriate; preserve existing tests for `[auction].enabled=false`.
-
-### Task 5: Protect direct `POST /auction` from accidental coupling
-
-- [ ] Add a focused endpoint test with `creative_opportunities.enabled=false`
-      and a recording provider.
-- [ ] Assert that the provider still sees the direct auction request and that
-      the response remains a normal OpenRTB response.
-- [ ] If the test reveals that `[auction].enabled=false` also needs a separate
-      product decision for `/auction`, record that as a follow-up rather than
-      changing it as part of the template-switch work.
-
-### Task 6: Update docs, examples, comments, and adapter coverage
-
-- [ ] Update the example config, configuration guide, and changelog.
-- [ ] Update stale comments that call `[auction].enabled` the universal template
-      kill switch.
-- [ ] Verify all four adapter call sites use the centralized disabled-slot view.
-- [ ] Run JS tests if comments or tests are touched; no JS behavior change is
-      expected.
-
-## Test plan
-
-Use target-matched commands; do not run bare workspace tests because the
-workspace contains multiple runtime targets.
-
-- [ ] `cargo test-axum -p trusted-server-core publisher`
-- [ ] `cargo test-fastly`
-- [ ] `cargo test-axum`
-- [ ] `cargo test-cloudflare`
-- [ ] `cargo test-spin`
-- [ ] `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-fastly`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-axum`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-cloudflare`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-cloudflare-wasm`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-spin-native`
-- [ ] `cargo clippy-spin-wasm`
-- [ ] `cd crates/trusted-server-js/lib && npx vitest run` if JS tests/comments change
-- [ ] `cd docs && npm run format` if documentation formatting is required
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Do not change CDN-specific cache policy for inactive templates.
-- Do not change adapter response privacy or cookie handling.
-- Do not use `auction.rewrite_creatives` as the template switch; it controls
-  creative URL rewriting, not whether the server-side template stack runs.
-- Do not gate or disable direct `POST /auction` as part of this feature.
-- Do not remove slot definitions when the switch is off; the point of the switch
-  is to provide a reversible runtime control.

-# DataDome IP-excluded client tag suppression
-
-**Issue:** #994
-**Date:** 2026-08-03
-**Status:** Proposed
-
-## Problem
-
-Trusted Server has two DataDome protection layers:
-
-1. Server-side Protection API validation, which can be skipped for configured
-   client IP CIDRs.
-2. Client-side tag auto-injection, which adds `window.ddjskey`,
-   `window.ddoptions`, and the configured `tags.js` script to processed HTML.
-
-When a request matches an IP-based server-side exclusion, the Protection API is
-skipped, but the client-side tag is currently still injected. The browser can
-therefore continue running client-side DataDome protection for a request that
-was explicitly whitelisted at Trusted Server.
-
-The desired behavior is that Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based DataDome
-exclusion also omit Trusted Server's automatically injected client-side tag.
-
-## Goals
-
-- Suppress Trusted Server's automatically injected DataDome client-side tag for
-  Fastly requests skipped by an IP-based protection exclusion.
-- Reuse the existing authoritative protection-scope decision.
-- Cover all supported IP-based exclusion mechanisms:
-  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidrs`
-  - `protection_excluded_ip_cidr_sources`
-  - structured `ip_cidr` rules
-  - structured `ip_cidr_source` rules
-- Preserve current behavior for non-IP exclusions.
-- Leave publisher-originated or manually configured DataDome tags untouched.
-- Add an informational diagnostic indicating that the client tag is omitted.
-- Keep the implementation independent of caller-supplied IP headers.
-- Prevent a shared cache from replaying IP-specific, tag-suppressed HTML to
-  non-excluded visitors.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Do not add a configuration flag or make this behavior opt-in.
-- Do not change Axum, Cloudflare, or Spin request-filter wiring. This behavior
-  is intentionally scoped to the Fastly adapter, where the DataDome server-side
-  request filter is currently run.
-- Do not suppress DataDome tags that originate in publisher HTML.
-- Do not remove or disable the `/integrations/datadome/tags.js` route.
-- Do not change DataDome signal-collection proxy behavior.
-- Do not change ASN, path, query-parameter, method, static-asset, or internal
-  route exclusions.
-- Do not perform live production verification as part of implementation.
-
-## Confirmed decisions
-
-1. **Adapter scope:** Fastly only.
-2. **IP scope:** all four IP-based exclusion mechanisms listed above.
-3. **Tag scope:** Trusted Server's auto-injected tag only.
-4. **HTML scope:** every HTML response that enters the existing HTML processing
-   pipeline.
-5. **Logging:** enrich the existing IP-exclusion skip log with
-   `client_tag=omitted`, including the matched rule and reason.
-6. **Live testing:** deferred until after implementation and deployment/testing
-   workflow review.
-
-## Current architecture
-
-### Server-side protection
-
-`DataDomeIntegration::is_request_protected()` in
-`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` evaluates
-method, internal-route, ASN, IP, and structured exclusion conditions. It uses
-the client IP from `RuntimeServices::client_info()`, which is populated from
-trusted Fastly request metadata. It does not use a caller-supplied IP header.
-
-The current function reduces the protection-scope result to a boolean. For an
-IP exclusion it logs the skip and returns `false`, causing the request filter to
-continue without calling the Protection API.
-
-The Fastly EdgeZero fallback path runs this request filter before route
-selection and publisher proxying. The request continues into
-`handle_publisher_request()` after the filter returns a continue decision.
-
-### Client-side injection
-
-`DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()` in
-`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` emits the client-side
-snippet when:
-
-- `inject_client_side_tag` is true; and
-- `client_side_key` is non-empty.
-
-The injector currently receives `IntegrationHtmlContext`, which contains HTML
-host/scheme and document state but no request IP or protection decision.
-
-The publisher response path carries request-specific values through:
-
-```text
-Request
-  -> OwnedProcessResponseParams
-  -> HtmlStreamProcessorParams
-  -> HtmlProcessorConfig
-  -> IntegrationHtmlContext
-  -> IntegrationHeadInjector
-```
-
-The existing DataDome attribute rewriter separately rewrites DataDome URLs
-found in publisher HTML. That behavior must remain unchanged.
-
-## Design
-
-### 1. Capture an IP-exclusion marker at the request filter
-
-The request filter must attach a typed, internal request-scoped marker when the
-existing protection-scope evaluation returns a skip for one of these reasons:
-
-- `client_ip`
-- `client_ip_source`
-- `ip_cidr`
-- `ip_cidr_source`
-
-The marker must be attached only after the existing scope decision confirms the
-IP exclusion. It must not be inferred from request headers or recomputed later
-in the HTML pipeline.
-
-The request-filter API currently exposes an immutable request view. Add the
-smallest internal mechanism needed for a filter to attach a typed request
-extension without introducing a caller-visible header. Header mutations should
-continue to use `RequestFilterEffects` as they do today.
-
-The marker should be a zero-sized or otherwise minimal internal type. It only
-needs to answer whether Trusted Server's DataDome client tag should be
-suppressed; the existing skip log supplies the rule ID and reason.
-
-The marker must not be attached for:
-
-- `OPTIONS` or other excluded methods before scope evaluation;
-- internal or integration routes;
-- ASN exclusions;
-- path, query, or other non-IP structured exclusions;
-- unmatched IP rules;
-- Protection API fail-open behavior; or
-- requests where `enable_protection` is false and the request filter does not
-  run.
-
-### 2. Enrich the existing skip log
-
-For IP-based skips, extend the existing informational log with
-`client_tag=omitted`:
-
-```text
-[datadome] protection decision=skipped rule=excluded-ip-cidrs reason=client_ip client_tag=omitted method=GET
-```
-
-The existing rule ID, reason, and method remain part of the log. Host and path are omitted to avoid placing dynamic request data in the protection logs.
-Client IP values are not included. Non-IP skip logs retain their current
-behavior and level.
-
-This log represents the request policy decision. It may also apply to a
-non-HTML response, for which no HTML tag would have been injected anyway.
-
-### 3. Propagate the marker into HTML processing
-
-Before the publisher request is moved into the platform HTTP client, snapshot
-whether the request carries the marker. Carry that request-scoped boolean
-through `OwnedProcessResponseParams`, `HtmlStreamProcessorParams`, and
-`HtmlProcessorConfig`.
-
-The value should default to `false` in all existing constructors and direct
-unit-test fixtures. Non-Fastly adapters will naturally retain the default
-because they do not currently produce the Fastly request-filter marker.
-
-Expose the value to head injectors through the existing HTML processing context
-or equivalent request-scoped integration context. The propagation must work for
-both:
-
-- the normal buffered HTML path; and
-- the streaming HTML path, including the auction-hold path.
-
-The value is irrelevant for non-HTML, RSC, pass-through, and unmodified
-responses, which should retain their current processing.
-
-### 4. Keep IP-specific HTML out of shared cache
-
-A processed HTML response differs by client IP when the generated tag is
-suppressed. In the `PublisherResponse::Stream` path, when suppression is active
-and the response is HTML, set `Cache-Control: private, max-age=0` and remove
-`Surrogate-Control` and `Fastly-Surrogate-Control` before the body is streamed.
-
-This matches the existing per-user ad-stack cache policy. It prevents Fastly or
-another shared cache from replaying a tag-suppressed response to a visitor whose
-IP does not match an exclusion. Do not change cache headers for non-HTML,
-pass-through, or unmodified responses because their output does not vary by this
-feature.
-
-### 5. Suppress only the generated DataDome snippet
-
-At the start of `DataDomeIntegration::head_inserts()`:
-
-1. Check the request-scoped suppression marker.
-2. If present, return no DataDome head inserts.
-3. Otherwise preserve the current `inject_client_side_tag` and
-   `client_side_key` checks and emit the existing snippet unchanged.
-
-When suppression is active, omit both:
-
-```html
-<script>
-  window.ddjskey=...;window.ddoptions=...;
-</script>
-<script src="/integrations/datadome/tags.js" async></script>
-```
-
-Do not alter:
-
-- publisher-originated DataDome script tags;
-- `rewrite_sdk` behavior;
-- the DataDome SDK proxy route;
-- the signal collection API proxy;
-- DataDome configuration serialization for non-suppressed requests; or
-- injection behavior for requests without the marker.
-
-## Testing plan
-
-### Protection-filter tests
-
-Add or extend tests in
-`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs` to verify
-that the marker is attached for:
-
-- a matching inline IPv4 CIDR;
-- a matching Config Store-backed CIDR source;
-- a matching structured `ip_cidr` rule; and
-- a matching structured `ip_cidr_source` rule.
-
-Verify that the marker is absent for:
-
-- a non-matching IP;
-- an ASN exclusion;
-- a path exclusion;
-- a query-parameter exclusion;
-- an excluded method; and
-- an internal or integration route.
-
-Verify the existing protection behavior remains unchanged: IP-matched requests
-continue without a Protection API call.
-
-### Head-injector tests
-
-Add tests in
-`crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs` verifying that:
-
-- a configured client tag is omitted when suppression is active;
-- a configured client tag is emitted when suppression is inactive;
-- a blank client-side key remains a no-op; and
-- `inject_client_side_tag = false` remains a no-op.
-
-### HTML pipeline tests
-
-Add coverage for the request-scoped value flowing through the HTML processor,
-including the streaming path. Confirm that a suppressed processed HTML response
-contains neither the injected `window.ddjskey` configuration nor the configured
-DataDome `tags.js` script. For a suppressed HTML stream, assert the response is
-private and has no surrogate cache headers. Confirm a non-suppressed HTML stream
-retains its origin cache behavior.
-
-Confirm that publisher-originated DataDome tags remain in the output and are
-still rewritten according to the existing `rewrite_sdk` behavior.
-
-### Fastly dispatch tests
-
-Add a Fastly adapter dispatch test with:
-
-- DataDome protection enabled;
-- a client IP matching an inline exclusion;
-- a configured client-side key; and

-## Documentation changes
-

-requests skip both:
-
-- server-side Protection API validation; and
-- Trusted Server's automatic client-side tag injection.
-
-Document that this does not remove or disable publisher-originated DataDome

-tag.
-
-No configuration template changes are required because this behavior has no
-new setting.
-
-## Files expected to change
-
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs`
-  - Support the internal request-scoped annotation mechanism.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome.rs`
-  - Define the marker and conditionally suppress head injection.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/datadome/protection.rs`
-  - Attach the marker for IP-based scope skips and enrich the skip log.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/registry.rs` or the relevant
-  HTML context definition
-  - Carry the suppression decision into head injection.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/html_processor.rs`
-  - Carry the request-scoped value into HTML integration context.
-- `crates/trusted-server-core/src/publisher.rs`
-  - Snapshot and propagate the request marker through response processing.
-- `docs/guide/integrations/datadome.md`
-  - Document the behavior.
-- Relevant unit and Fastly adapter test modules.
-
-The exact split between registry request annotations and HTML context plumbing
-should remain minimal and should not introduce a new public configuration API.
-
-## Verification
-
-Implementation verification should use the repository's target-matched
-commands:
-
-```bash
-cargo fmt --all -- --check
-cargo test-fastly
-cargo test-axum
-cargo test-cloudflare
-cargo clippy-fastly
-cargo clippy-axum
-cargo clippy-cloudflare
-```
-
-No live production validation is required for this implementation task. Live
-browser verification will be performed later through the deployment/testing
-workflow.

+### 0.6 Approved review remediation
+
+The initial role-correct implementation exposed material first-display transfer and
+request-time work that its own post-change capture could not legitimately approve.
+That capture remains immutable evidence of the reviewed intermediate state, not a
+release baseline. Before merge, the implementation must remove code that is not
+required for the protected first display from the critical dependency graph,
+precompute finite TSJS transport identities outside request handling, and pass both
+the byte-accounting and network-shaped browser gates in §5.12. A gate captured from
+the oversized candidate cannot authorize that same candidate.
+
+This remediation does not reopen the hard-cutover decision. `pub_id`, numeric APS
+identifiers, unknown fields, old routes, and old browser APIs remain rejected rather
+than aliased. It also does not create an APS runner artifact or cache design: the
+runner stays live, unversioned, unvendored, unpinned, and uncached by Trusted Server.
+Reserved APS browser routes remain intentionally anonymous and are dispatched before
+publisher `[[handlers]]`; operators place admission control, rate limiting, or
+request shielding at the platform boundary.
+
+DataDome and the other integrations in `RCJ-INT-01` remain in scope only because the
+approved goal adopts every TSJS concept from the frozen `rc/july` baseline. This is
+preservation behind the common runtime, not permission to redesign their server-side
+behavior. The unrelated server-side ad-template cache-control proposal is excluded
+from this design.

+Each run fetches `origin/main`, resolves its exact current 40-character commit SHA,
+creates a detached worktree at that SHA, and builds `main` and the candidate
+independently. The main-side loader feature-detects and consumes the artifact shape
+that commit actually produced. While current `main` emits the legacy `tsjs-core.js`,
+`tsjs-creative.js`, plus `tsjs-gpt.js` model and no release-v1 inventory/controller,
+the harness concatenates and serves those real built bytes, enables the same default
+creative policy, and drives their real legacy `adInit` surface. After the cutover
+reaches `main`, the same loader consumes that commit's release-v1 inventory/controller
+and `[core, render_runtime, creative, gpt]` critical selection instead. It does not relabel an older phase-aware
+capture as `main` or require unavailable candidate-only metadata from a legacy
+commit. The candidate side consumes its generated server controller and release-v1
+critical/deferred artifacts. One in-process `node:http` server per variant on an
+ephemeral `127.0.0.1` port serves that variant's exact page and bytes. Playwright
+request interception or fulfillment is outside the instrument.

+Before either variant navigates, its page receives the same checked-in Chromium CDP
+`Network.emulateNetworkConditions` profile: 150 ms latency, 1.6 Mbit/s download
+(200,000 bytes/second), 750 kbit/s upload (93,750 bytes/second), and zero packet
+loss. The profile is not selectable by environment input. A common comparison mark
+runs immediately before the external critical-script element, and the GPT fixture
+records the common terminal mark at its first observable `display` or `refresh`
+action. A direct-render comparison records the equivalent iframe insertion. The
+interval therefore includes critical-script transfer, parse, evaluation, and
+runtime work through the first observable request/render action without depending
+on a candidate-only mark. Candidate runs additionally prove the real
+`tsjs:bids-script`, `tsjs:first-display`, and `tsjs:first-display-paint` marks and
+that no deferred request, preload, preparation, or execution precedes paint.
+
+The job alternates `main` then candidate / candidate then `main` in one Chromium
+process for every warmup and measured pair. Candidate p90 must be at most current
+`main` p90 × 1.10. GitHub-hosted absolute timing is not stable enough for a fixed
+millisecond ceiling, and a historical fixed comparison SHA is not an honest stand-in
+for current `main`; neither remains in the active gate. The schema-5 artifact records
+the exact main and candidate SHAs, each actual artifact model, each exact served
+critical byte count, both full distributions and p90s, the alternating order, and
+the exact network profile. The workflow runs each declared pair once and never
+selectively reruns, drops, or reclassifies slow samples. Budget assertions are soft
+only in the Playwright sense: the run finishes all timing and heap collection and
+writes the complete schema-5 evidence before failing. Validation and upload run
+with `always()` so a failed gate retains its exact diagnostic artifact; neither the
+test nor the validator converts an exceeded budget into success.
+
+Retained heap uses Chromium CDP forced-GC checkpoints after boot, first render,
+refresh, and SPA navigation. After the display samples, the job opens one separate
+fresh browser context per variant and executes the equivalent lifecycle supported by
+that variant's real artifact shape. At each checkpoint it sends

-| `RCJ-CORE-01`     | Core config/context, callback queue, auction parsing, direct request/rendering, SPA generation checks, and shared helpers continue to serve every enabled integration.                                        | **Rebuild:** kernel, services, and composition root; exact behavioral corpus runs before and after the switch.                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| `RCJ-CORE-02`     | Programmatic ad-unit registration can drive direct `/auction`; core also exposes version/queue, placeholder render helpers, mutable generic config, and the local logger.                                     | **Preserve/supersede:** §5.4 defines the exact final API; typed registration/request APIs and immutable config replace placeholders/mutable config; logger methods/default remain, while invalid levels now throw without mutation instead of being retained with warn fallback. |
-| `RCJ-BOOT-01`     | The edge-injected `gpt_bootstrap.js` duplicates initial-load tracking, slot handoff, hydration scheduling, GPT definition/targeting/display/refresh, and can render initial ads without the main TSJS bundle. | **Rebuild/supersede:** the committed runtime owns all normal GPT behavior. Missing/partial bundles intentionally settle through the terminal non-rendering fallback in §5.3; no bootstrap may construct a degraded GPT runtime.                                                  |
-| `RCJ-TRACE-01`    | Render tracing records one honest impression timeline, bounded history, current-slot state, DOM stamps/badges, local overlay, no stale auction attribution, and emits `tsjs:adRendered`.                      | **Rebuild/supersede:** the core trace reducer, `tsjs.diagnostics.renderTrace`, and the separately authorized deferred presentation attachment; the public data subscription replaces the mutable globals and CustomEvent, and no integration writes trace state directly.        |
-| `RCJ-GPT-01`      | A TS fallback and a later publisher `defineSlot` share one physical GPT slot and one initial request; ownership transfer prevents later TS destruction.                                                       | **Rebuild:** GPT adapter plus slot service handoff record; no integration-owned function sentinels or duplicate wrappers.                                                                                                                                                        |
-| `RCJ-GPT-02`      | Responsive/hydrated slot resolution chooses the unique active placement, recovers DOM replacement, and never silently chooses an ambiguous sibling.                                                           | **Rebuild:** navigation-scoped aliases plus runtime-owned DOM binding/reconciliation.                                                                                                                                                                                            |
-| `RCJ-GPT-03`      | Native publisher GPT calls, service state, SRA, disabled initial load, refresh options, targeting cleanup, and publisher-owned slots retain their native semantics.                                           | **Preserve/Rebuild:** the sole GPT adapter owns interception and event fan-out; publisher activity never becomes TS-owned work.                                                                                                                                                  |
-| `RCJ-GPT-04`      | A TS-owned PUC response may resize only its authenticated still-collapsed ordinary 1×1 GAM shell, never unrelated, anchor, fixed, sticky, or already-expanded frames.                                         | **Preserve/Rebuild:** current render attempt owns one guarded resize after a response is successfully posted.                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| `RCJ-PREBID-01`   | The publisher-specific artifact is pure Prebid.js; the Trusted Server shim is a separate TSJS integration module, and the external bundle remains independently useful if that module fails.                  | **Preserve/Rebuild:** external artifact plus Prebid adapter/integration module; TS code is not vendored into the external Prebid artifact.                                                                                                                                       |
-| `RCJ-PREBID-02`   | Missing, late, duplicate, older, or partial Prebid artifacts fail safely: publisher queues drain, TS refresh handling is not installed without a real API, and installation is idempotent.                    | **Preserve/Rebuild:** artifact watchdog plus release-matched module transaction and bounded readiness queue.                                                                                                                                                                     |
-| `RCJ-PREBID-03`   | Adapter manifests distinguish module names from registered bidder codes/aliases; client-side bidder coverage, user-ID modules, EIDs, native bids, and publisher callbacks keep working.                       | **Preserve:** typed artifact contract and black-box artifact tests; TS-owned bid identities alone are replaced.                                                                                                                                                                  |
-| `RCJ-PREBID-04`   | Configured GAM-path exclusions remove only matching slots from the synthetic Prebid refresh auction while clearing stale TS keys and retaining every slot/options in the GPT refresh.                         | **Preserve/Rebuild:** one refresh policy in the Prebid integration module over the GPT adapter; global, explicit, mixed, all-excluded, and fail-open path cases remain exact.                                                                                                    |
-| `RCJ-APS-01`      | First-class APS OpenRTB admission, typed descriptor projection, direct rendering, Trusted Server Prebid-adapter rendering, and PUC rendering remain supported.                                                | **Preserve/Rebuild:** Rust admission plus the shared render lifecycle described in §§3–4.                                                                                                                                                                                        |
-| `RCJ-APS-02`      | `bid.meta`, generated Prebid `adId`, upstream bid-id fallback, and old `hb_adid` precedence carried APS identity through lossy boundaries.                                                                    | **Supersede:** the server-minted `r1_` reservation is the only TS PUC authority; native Prebid IDs and PBS Cache UUIDs remain byte-preserved for their own purposes.                                                                                                             |
-| `RCJ-APS-03`      | PUC uses one-use ports, APS callbacks—not script load—determine success, renderer tombstones are bounded, and lifecycle callbacks cannot corrupt later attempts.                                              | **Preserve/Rebuild:** bridge dispatcher, owner-control channel, reservation service, and terminal latch.                                                                                                                                                                         |
-| `RCJ-APS-04`      | The PUC document, renderer document, and descendant creative receive the winning dimensions without default margins, scrollbars, overflow, or clipping.                                                       | **Preserve:** exact CSS/DOM sizing contract in §4.4 and three-level browser assertions.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| `RCJ-CREATIVE-01` | Auction creative sanitization remains opt-in/default-off, rewriting retains its existing independent setting, and every delivery path observes the same configured processing boundary.                       | **Preserve:** creative integration module and server processing; this design does not silently enable sanitization or broaden rewriting.                                                                                                                                         |
-| `RCJ-CREATIVE-02` | Opaque-origin click recovery accepts only validated absolute HTTP(S) navigation, persists the validated URL, rejects non-network schemes, and keeps creative sandbox isolation.                               | **Preserve/Rebuild:** creative integration module over shared origin/DOM helpers, with unit and real-browser sandbox coverage.                                                                                                                                                   |
-| `RCJ-CREATIVE-03` | `tscreative.installGuards/setConfig/getConfig`, `tsCreativeConfig`, automatic install, click-guard default-on, and render-guard default-off control the creative browser guards.                              | **Preserve/supersede:** `CreativeBootV1` retains the defaults and the integration module auto-installs transactionally; mutable/install command globals are deleted and immutable `tsjs.boot.creative` is the only inspection/config surface.                                    |
-| `RCJ-DIAG-01`     | GPT runtime diagnostics reports raw GPT observations, exact slot binding/replacement, request cycles/timing, bounded export, overlay/badges, and no lifecycle interference.                                   | **Preserve/Rebuild:** diagnostics integration module consumes the GPT adapter event stream and exposes `tsjs.diagnostics.gpt`; it never installs a second GPT control wrapper.                                                                                                   |
-| `RCJ-INT-01`      | DataDome, Didomi, Google Tag Manager, Lockr, Osano, Permutive, Sourcepoint, and Testlight retain their current proxy guards, configuration, consent/segment, queue, and timing behavior.                      | **Preserve:** thin transactional integration modules plus complete pre/post-cutover black-box suites; internal feature behavior is otherwise unchanged.                                                                                                                          |
-| `RCJ-INT-02`      | Shared script, beacon, DOM-insertion, scheduling, origin, and async helpers retain per-integration matching and failure isolation.                                                                            | **Rebuild where shared:** helper factories with integration-owned configuration; one module failure cannot unwind another integration module or publisher code.                                                                                                                  |
-| `RCJ-QUAL-01`     | Lint covers production source, tests, scripts, diagnostics, and build code; TypeScript and artifact checks cover the actual shipped combinations.                                                             | **Preserve/strengthen:** full-package lint/typecheck plus architecture, maximal-bundle, generated-artifact, browser, and retained-heap gates.                                                                                                                                    |

 ### 5.2 One runtime across IIFE bundles
 
+#### 5.2.1 Two non-overlapping ownership epochs
+
+The browser lifecycle has two ordered ownership epochs, never two independently
+live runtimes:

+```text
+bootstrap installing
+  -> first-display agent -> transferring -> persistent runtime
+  |                     \-> failed -----------------> fallback
+  \-> persistent runtime (no eligible server-projected batch)
+  \-> failed ---------------------------------------> fallback
+```
+
+The **first-display agent** is a release-owned provisional owner, not the legacy
+`gpt_bootstrap.js` and not a reduced public runtime. It is one parser-blocking,
+server-composed artifact containing only the fixed slices selected for the
+immutable server projection and parser-time obligations on that page. It may:
+
+- validate the boot manifest and initial projection;
+- install the one provisional GPT/message/guard interception needed before the
+  initial action;
+- define, target, request, and settle only the server-projected initial GPT batch;
+- render an APS or ADM winner through the exact §4 protocols, including an
+  attributable empty-GAM fallback for that batch; and
+- record the first-action, terminal, and protected-paint marks.
+
+It cannot publish `TsjsApi`, expose a capability broker, accept programmatic ad
+units or direct-auction calls, process SPA/page-bids work outside the immutable
+initial batch, load deferred modules, present diagnostics, refresh an accepted ad,
+or start later navigation/reconciliation. Publisher callbacks remain in the one
+bootstrap-owned ingress Array until persistent-runtime or fallback commit. The old
+bootstrap renderer, legacy API, and any second fallback runtime remain deleted.
+
+The server selects the agent only when every member of the projected initial batch
+is representable by the first-display slices: no bid, GPT-mediated ADM, or
+GPT-mediated APS/PUC (including its attributable empty-GAM fallback). PBS Cache,
+programmatic/direct `/auction`, an unknown source, or any initial behavior outside
+that closed set selects direct persistent boot instead; this design adds no new cache
+implementation or cache-path phase split. A page with no projected initial batch also
+uses direct persistent boot. Parser-time obligations join the agent only when that
+agent is already selected; otherwise their takeover modules activate in the one
+parser-blocking runtime artifact before upstream publisher activity. This is a
+server-owned manifest choice derived from frozen
+configuration and projection, not a publisher switch, experiment, or compatibility
+path. A programmatic `requestAds` invoked on such a page becomes usable only after
+the persistent runtime commits. The protected load-time claim applies to the
+server-projected agent path; subsequent programmatic work remains correct but is not
+relabeled as that measurement.
+
+The agent artifact has one base entry plus only these build-catalogued slices. A
+slice absent from this table cannot enter the artifact. “Initial” means the exact
+immutable batch; it does not authorize later work from the same product:

+`tsjs:first-display-paint`. On an agent page, no persistent/deferred TSJS preload,
+fetch, preparation, or evaluation may begin earlier. The bootstrap creates the one
+authenticated classic same-origin runtime script using the manifest URL, expected
+element identity, `document.currentScript`, CSP nonce, and Trusted Types rules
+defined below. Independent ordinary deferred modules remain later than persistent
+runtime commit.
+
+The runtime bundle first performs an effect-inert **takeover preparation** against
+an immutable `FirstDisplayHandoffV1`. The record is an exact-shaped, recursively
+frozen data tree containing:
+
+- release/generation identity and the canonical initial projection digest;
+- each slot's canonical id, aliases, DOM id, GAM path, normalized formats,
+  TS/publisher ownership, request-cycle outcome, and installed targeting snapshot;
+- every terminal attempt and reservation/ticket tombstone still inside its original
+  bounded expiry, without descriptor, ADM, capability, or creative payload bytes;
+- committed-artifact kind and ownership metadata; parser-time integration snapshot
+  data needed for its persistent owner; and
+- the exact once-only first-display timing/paint facts.
+
+It contains no function, accessor, custom prototype, Promise, listener, timer,
+observer, `MessagePort`, `WindowProxy`, network handle, or mutable collection. A
+release-private one-use `FirstDisplayOwnershipCapsuleV1` accompanies it only during
+the same synchronous takeover call. The capsule may carry the exact already-
+committed GPT slot and DOM artifact object identities that cannot be reconstructed
+from data. It carries no live port, timer, listener, observer, in-flight attempt, or
+callable publisher surface. The capsule is generation/release bound, can be consumed
+once by the authenticated prepared runtime, and is cleared by agent rollback,
+fallback, or successful adoption. It is never stored on `window.tsjs`, `_internal`,
+boot data, diagnostics, a log, or an analytics event.
+
+The handoff contains at most the existing 256 initial slots/outcomes. Each
+reservation/ticket entry is already terminal and retains only the opaque value and
+expiry required to suppress replay; no live authority, descriptor, ADM, or creative
+payload survives. Each copied string/targeting collection retains its source grammar
+and capacity, the canonical data-tree encoding is at most 1 MiB, and the capsule has
+at most one physical GPT identity and one committed artifact identity per slot.
+Overflow or any nonterminal attempt/port makes takeover preparation fail; it cannot
+truncate, evict a live fact, or silently lose replay suppression.
+
+Takeover is one non-yielding JavaScript task after preparation succeeds:
+
+1. Revalidate the current generation, exact runtime script, handoff digest, terminal
+   batch, paint gate, one-use capsule, and prepared runtime.
+2. Close agent work ingress, synchronously quiesce its event handlers, and restore
+   every compare-restorable wrapper. The bootstrap callback Array remains the one
+   append-only ingress until step 5; no publisher callback is invoked in this interval.
+3. Detach committed artifacts from agent disposal, then dispose every remaining
+   agent listener, timer, observer, port, readiness waiter, registry entry, and
+   uncommitted node in reverse order.
+4. Activate persistent owners in catalog order, adopting the capsule objects and
+   handoff facts. `adoptInitialDisplay:true` forbids parsing the projection as new
+   work, redefining an adopted GPT slot, reinstalling accepted targeting, issuing
+   `display`/`refresh`, creating a render iframe, or emitting any first-display mark.
+5. Commit the complete `TsjsApi`, permanently close both private registration sinks,
+   transfer committed artifacts to persistent slot/navigation ownership, run
+   persistent `afterCommit` work, and drain the single bootstrap queue exactly once.
+
+No task or microtask can observe the synchronous listener/wrapper transition.
+Momentary stack-local objects during that task do not constitute a second live
+owner; at every task boundary exactly one of agent, persistent runtime, or fallback
+owns ingress and side effects. Successful takeover leaves no agent timer, listener,
+port, observer, wrapper, registry, request authority, or strong reference except the
+committed objects now owned by the persistent runtime. Physical GPT identity and
+publisher handoff remain exact because the object itself, rather than a guessed
+path/DOM lookup, moves through the one-use capsule.
+
+Runtime download, authentication, or effect-inert preparation failure leaves the
+agent in control only until the bounded persistent-load deadline. It then settles
+the terminal fallback while preserving already committed ad DOM as inert publisher-
+visible output. A failure after step 2 rolls back partial persistent effects, does
+not resurrect the agent, and commits that same terminal shell. It never replays the
+projection, requests GAM again, removes an accepted publisher-owned ad, or constructs
+a degraded runtime. Failed takeover therefore sacrifices later TSJS behavior, not
+the correctness or exactly-once status of the completed first display.
+
+All “critical” persistent-module language below means the atomic **takeover**
+transaction on an agent page and the ordinary bootstrap transaction on a page where
+the agent is omitted. It does not authorize those module bytes to enter the
+first-display artifact. Where the older topology below describes core as creating
+the first protected attempt or waiting ten seconds before the first phase release,
+the agent path instead follows the terminal/paint/takeover sequence above; the
+ten-second no-attempt guard remains only for a direct-to-runtime page with no
+server-projected agent batch.
+
 Each shipped integration remains a separately built IIFE with imports inlined, so
 module singletons cannot be the shared-runtime mechanism. `tsjs-core` installs the
 only runtime and keeps the capability broker in its composition closure. During

-| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| PUC behavior differs from the local contract harness                 | keep the harness limited to the public message/helper contract, exercise `h.sendMessage`, and gate the actual externally hosted PUC release on real GAM; do not vendor PUC bytes                                                                                                                                                                              |
-| Same-realm publisher code can interfere                              | explicitly trust TS-authored owner code; capability checks defend unrelated frames, replays, and stale work, not arbitrary same-realm compromise                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
-| A module activation never returns                                    | activation is generated first-party code with boundary tests; elapsed returning calls fail through monotonic checks, but JavaScript cannot preempt a nonreturning same-thread function                                                                                                                                                                        |
-| Strict parsing rejects a future APS field                            | descriptor is versioned; outer transport remains tolerant; add a reviewed version/corpus update rather than silently accepting new semantics                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
-| CSP blocks a legitimate APS creative                                 | three-browser real-GAM suite; script creatives remain opt-in; CSP changes are explicit security work                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| Hard cutover breaks stale pages                                      | accepted compatibility stance; a stale hash fails locally and reload is required; retain the prior deployable binary for whole-release rollback, not N/N-1 routes in the active binary                                                                                                                                                                        |
-| Kernel extraction changes unrelated integrations                     | per-integration pre/post behavior corpus, adapter fakes, current full suites, behavioral maximal-bundle test, and exact disposal assertions                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| Optional code drifts back into the critical artifact                 | release-catalog phase/dependency validation, production metafile deny paths, semantic critical-set budgets, and reviewable named parser-time obligations                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
-| A deferred feature is called before its module is ready              | caller deadlines start at original enqueue and may expire while gated; after the paint gate, live waiters share one independently bounded module load with no duplicate/fallback/runtime                                                                                                                                                                      |
-| First display never occurs, so deferred work starves                 | the owned 10-second post-kernel no-display guard becomes the trigger, followed by bounded idle scheduling or the owned timer fallback                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
-| A page waits past 10 seconds before its first display                | accepted explicit boundary: correctness still uses critical owners, but the post-window display may contend with already released later work and is excluded from the protected-load claim                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| A forged/replaced script registers into the runtime                  | exact same-origin catalog URL, release/id/phase match, core-created element identity, `document.currentScript`, single terminal registration, and generation checks                                                                                                                                                                                           |
-| Publisher CSP or Trusted Types blocks a deferred module              | preserve the publisher policy; copy only the authenticated critical nonce, use one exact-manifest Trusted Types policy when allowed, validate default-policy output, and isolate `policy_blocked` without a second sink/runtime                                                                                                                               |
-| Phase splitting duplicates product ownership                         | one broker provider per capability, immutable interfaces, critical-before-deferred dependency rule, identity/disposal tests, and no public service locator                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| Deferred loading reduces critical bytes but grows total release size | independent immutable maximal-total raw/gzip/Brotli budget and complete release inventory; splitting alone cannot make the gate pass                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| One deferred module stalls unrelated later behavior                  | start every independent deferred transaction after the common gate without awaiting siblings; separate deadlines and no deferred-to-deferred capability edges prevent head-of-line blocking                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| `rc/july` moves after the design is approved                         | pin `905984e62`; stop before code changes, diff all inventoried TSJS/bootstrap/browser paths, and update the ledger/tests explicitly                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| Diagnostics change ad behavior or overclaim a render                 | bounded core-only snapshot ingress, separately bounded GPT fact replay, consumer-specific private presentation capability, isolated public subscribers, honest `gam-only`/`ok` rules, inactive zero-side-effect tests, and no correctness dependency                                                                                                          |
-| Bounded registries refuse traffic under extreme churn                | explicit reservation `registry_full` and slot `registry_capacity`, lifecycle pruning, capacity stress tests; never trade correctness for eviction                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
-| GPT event attribution remains ambiguous                              | adapter-minted non-reused physical-slot plus per-object cycle identity joins diagnostics only after exact current-slot and unique-cycle resolution; unresolved, stale, or multi-cycle-ambiguous facts are dropped, while lifecycle authority still fails the TS attempt deterministically and never triggers fallback from ambiguous/publisher-owned activity |
-| Late async work mutates new SPA state                                | generation checks, owned disposers, terminal latch, and adversarial reversed-order tests                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
-| Browser tests report iframe load but not APS success                 | require the bound APS render-completion callback and inspect network/DOM evidence                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
-| APS runner becomes unavailable or stops the callback                 | load/rejection/silence fail the attempt; real-browser conformance blocks release and APS disablement is the emergency containment path                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
-| APS runner reports completion incorrectly                            | accepted external trust risk; protected conformance checks DOM/network behavior, but cannot prove future mutable bytes; suspect behavior disables APS                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

 ## 4. Render lifecycle protocol
 
+The **ActiveRenderOwner** is one logical owner with non-overlapping agent and
+persistent epochs. On an eligible initial page, the agent epoch instantiates the
+§4 dispatcher, reservation/ticket/nonce registries, terminal latches, provisional
+GPT adapter/listeners, and APS/ADM channels for only the immutable projected batch.
+Every “kernel” or “runtime” action in this section is performed by that active epoch.
+At §5.2.1 takeover, all attempts and ports are terminal, tombstones/counters/facts
+cross in the exact handoff, live physical/committed objects cross only in the
+one-use capsule, and fresh persistent dispatcher/GPT listeners become the sole
+active epoch. On a no-agent page, persistent core is the first and only epoch.
+
+The agent records the correctness-required GPT `slotRequested` and
+`slotRenderEnded` facts before issuing the initial request. When diagnostics are
+enabled it also records all six bounded §5.8 observations, trace tokens/cycles, and
+overflow counters into the handoff; persistent diagnostics adopts and replays those
+facts before live delivery. No diagnostic listener is counted twice and loss of a
+diagnostic fact cannot change lifecycle authority. Any §4 wording that assigns the
+initial dispatcher/channel exclusively to “core” means the current
+`ActiveRenderOwner`, not necessarily the post-paint persistent artifact.

+`capturedAtMs` is a finite nonnegative `performance.now()` value; `elementId` and

+NUL/control characters. GPT getter throws, nonstrings, empty values, and oversized
+values normalize to null. Rendered dimensions are null or integral 1–4096 values;

+unnormalizable observations are diagnostics-only drops and never enter the buffer or
+affect GPT/render authority. A valid observation that would exceed the 512-entry
+FIFO evicts the oldest fact and increments `overflowCount`; any normalization or
+section-byte-cap refusal increments `dropCount`. Counter saturation does not affect

+When `gpt.active` is true, the current `ActiveRenderOwner` installs the six
+documented GPT observations (`slotRequested`, `slotResponseReceived`,
+`slotRenderEnded`, `slotOnload`, `impressionViewable`, and
+`slotVisibilityChanged`) before any TS-owned GPT request. It owns one 512-entry FIFO
+pre-collector fact buffer. Overflow evicts the oldest fact and increments one
+diagnostics-only counter. On a direct-to-runtime page, persistent core creates this
+buffer and replays it in order when the takeover diagnostics collector activates.
+On an agent page, the agent creates it before the protected batch, maps every fact to
+the canonical trace token/cycle owned by that epoch, and includes the final ordered
+normalized `FirstDisplayGptFactV1` records plus overflow/drop counts in
+`FirstDisplayHandoffV1`. That complete at-most-524,288-byte subsection occupies the
+separate 512 KiB diagnostics allowance of the handoff's 8.5 MiB total cap.
+Normalization and the FIFO enforce that bound before handoff; a fact that cannot fit is a counted
+diagnostics-only drop and cannot consume replay-suppression or correctness space.
+During the non-yielding takeover task, the agent disconnects its six listeners; the
+persistent GPT adapter adopts the exact physical slot identities from the capsule,
+reconstructs its private identity map from the transferred canonical tokens,
+runtime-slot numbers, ad-unit paths, cycles, and next ordinal, replays the bounded
+facts into the collector in original order, and installs one fresh six-listener set
+before the task ends. Replay updates the same slot/cycle facts, callback-coverage
+counters, and separately reasoned issue rows that continuous ownership would have
+produced; it cannot renumber a slot or reinterpret a disposition as an issue. A GPT
+callback can therefore run before or after, but never inside, the
+owner transition. It is processed once by one epoch and no diagnostic fact is
+duplicated. After replay, live facts fan out directly and the pre-collector buffer is
+released. The later presentation module consumes the already bounded collector/store;
+it never registers GPT listeners or recreates the raw-fact buffer.
+
+When inactive, neither epoch creates a diagnostics buffer or the four

-### 0.4 `rc/july` TSJS concept-adoption contract
-
-The exact baseline is the whole observable TSJS system at
-`origin/rc/july@905984e62`, not only the three commits after this design branch's
-merge base. It includes `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/src/**`, its build and test
-tooling, the TSJS behavior embedded in `gpt_bootstrap.js` and
-`gpt_diagnostics_bootstrap.js`, and the browser tests that exercise those sources.
-The in-spec executable manifest in §0.5 records that tree and commit. If the local
-`origin/rc/july` ref moves, implementation stops before code
-changes, diffs the old and new tips across those paths, and updates this ledger and
-its tests deliberately. A moving branch is never absorbed implicitly.
+### 0.4 Current-`main` authority and retired-branch TSJS concept audit
+
+Current `origin/main` is the only normative starting point. Before implementation
+resumes, the worktree fetches and integrates current `main`, records its exact SHA,
+and runs the existing `main` tests before behavior changes. The same refresh occurs
+before cutover. Every source edit, regression fixture, package/toolchain decision,
+bundle delta, performance ratio, and release artifact is based on that integrated
+`main`. When this design intentionally changes a `main` behavior, the relevant
+contract below is the authority; otherwise current `main` wins.
+
+The `rc/july` branch is retired. It must not be fetched as an implementation input,
+merged, rebased, or cherry-picked into this work. The immutable historical snapshot
+`905984e62a0858c53d9f0ff6dd3a1bf190cf311d` is retained only because its TSJS tree,
+embedded bootstraps, tooling, and browser tests form a finite audit that can expose a
+required concept absent from current `main`. The in-spec manifest in §0.5 proves
+that this historical checklist is complete. For each ledger row, implementation
+first identifies the current-`main` owner and tests and reuses them when they satisfy
+this design. Only a concept explicitly retained by the ledger and missing or
+incomplete on `main` becomes gap work. Historical source shape, names, incidental
+semantics, and unrelated retired-branch features are not requirements.
+
+The audit is behavioral, not commit-hash ancestry. `main` may contain a concept
+through a squash, reimplementation, or later replacement even when a historical
+commit is not its Git ancestor. Every retained ledger row starts **proof-pending**.
+The implementation identifies or authors a focused contract and runs it against a
+detached, otherwise untouched worktree at the recorded current-main SHA:
+
+- **main-owned:** current source already has an owner and the focused contract
+  passes. Existing tests are reused; a newly authored test-only proof is retained in
+  the candidate without changing production behavior.
+- **implementation-gap:** the focused contract runs and fails because the required
+  behavior is absent or incomplete. Only that demonstrated gap becomes production
+  implementation work.
+- **coverage-gap:** no adequate focused contract exists yet. The next action is to
+  author the test alone and rerun it against untouched current main; this is an
+  intermediate blocked classification, never permission to implement or import
+  historical production code.
+
+An infrastructure/setup failure remains proof-pending rather than being relabeled as
+a behavioral failure. Each final classification records the main SHA, current owner
+paths, exact test path/command, result, and disposition. Every row must end as
+main-owned or implementation-gap before production edits for that row. The
+historical patch is never applied merely because its original hash is absent.
+
+Authority order is exact: this reviewed hard-cutover contract, then current `main`,
+then the retired snapshot as non-normative discovery evidence only. A contradiction
+is never resolved in favor of retired code implicitly. The implementation plan must
+contain no `rc/july` merge task and no release gate comparing the candidate to
+`rc/july`.

+### 0.5 In-spec retired concept-inventory manifest
+
+To keep this a one-file design and make the audit runnable from a main-only shallow
+checkout, the retired concept-inventory manifest embeds the complete materialized
+historical path list. No test resolves the retired commit or invokes `git ls-tree`.
+A contract test extracts `retired-rcjuly-tsjs-concept-manifest-v1`, requires the
+inventory to contain exactly 144 sorted unique paths, recomputes SHA-256 over their
+exact UTF-8 text with one LF after every path, and matches the recorded digest. It
+then requires every inventory path to match at least one `exact`, `prefix`, or
 `prefixes` mapping. A path receives the union of every matching row. Every
-file under `lib/src` must receive at least one non-`RCJ-QUAL-01` id. A mapping that
-matches no pinned path also fails, preventing stale rows. Moving the baseline runs
-this check before implementation and requires an explicit manifest/ledger update for
-every new, removed, or renamed path.
+`lib/src` path must receive at least one non-`RCJ-QUAL-01` id, and a mapping that
+matches no inventory path also fails. This proves only that the audit did not omit a
+historical TSJS concept; it needs no retired Git object and makes no historical
+source a build or behavior input. Separate ledger evidence maps every retained row
+to its current-main owner/test or records a specific gap to implement.

+- Test: focused existing or new test-only proof for each of the 23 `RCJ-*` rows
 
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write and run the failing executable adoption-manifest test.** Extract
-      the `rcjuly-tsjs-manifest-v1` JSON block from the revision-33 spec, enumerate
-      every `includeRoot` and exact file at
-      `905984e62a0858c53d9f0ff6dd3a1bf190cf311d` with `git ls-tree`, and fail for an
-      unmapped pinned file, a `lib/src` file mapped only to `RCJ-QUAL-01`, a dead
-      mapping, or a manifest/ledger id mismatch. Pin the expected audit result at 144
-      files, 38 mapping rows, and 23 ledger/manifest ids so a moving baseline cannot
-      enter implementation silently:
+- [ ] **Step 1: Refresh and integrate only current `main`.** Start clean and pushed,
+      fetch `origin/main`, record its exact 40-character SHA, and merge it. Resolve
+      conflicts from the reviewed spec and current-main behavior; never fetch or
+      merge the retired branch. If `main` is already an ancestor, record the no-op
+      instead of creating an empty commit.
 
   ```bash
-  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
+  test -z "$(git status --porcelain)"
+  AUDIT_BRANCH="$(git branch --show-current)"
+  AUDIT_PARENT="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
+  git fetch origin main "$AUDIT_BRANCH"
+  test "$AUDIT_PARENT" = "$(git rev-parse "origin/$AUDIT_BRANCH")"
+  MAIN_AUDIT_SHA="$(git rev-parse origin/main)"
+  git merge --no-ff --no-commit origin/main
+  # Resolve any conflicts deliberately and stage only their exact paths.
+  test -z "$(git ls-files -u)"
+  git diff --check
+  git diff --cached --check
+  if git rev-parse -q --verify MERGE_HEAD >/dev/null; then
+    git commit -m "Integrate current main into the TSJS cutover"
+  fi
+  git merge-base --is-ancestor "$MAIN_AUDIT_SHA" HEAD
   ```
 
-  Expected before the script exists: FAIL. Expected after the minimal extractor and
-  checker: PASS with zero unmapped/dead/gap arrays. Add the same command to CI and run
-  it before every phase exit.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Build an untouched detached-main test environment and run its
+      existing gates.** Create the worktree from `MAIN_AUDIT_SHA`, install from its
+      lockfile, and run the repository's current adapter and TSJS suites before any
+      candidate production edit. A setup or infrastructure failure is recorded as
+      `proof-pending`, never as an implementation gap.
 
-- [ ] **Step 2: Record baseline results before behavior changes:**
+  ```bash
+  MAIN_AUDIT_DIR="$(mktemp -d)"
+  rmdir "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR"
+  git worktree add --detach "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR" "$MAIN_AUDIT_SHA"
+  cargo test-fastly --manifest-path "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR/Cargo.toml"

+  npm --prefix "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR/crates/trusted-server-js/lib" test
+  npm --prefix "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR/crates/trusted-server-js/lib" run build
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the failing retired-concept manifest contract.** Rename the
+      old adoption files and remove all `child_process`, `git cat-file`, and
+      `git ls-tree` use. Extract exactly one
+      `retired-rcjuly-tsjs-concept-manifest-v1` fenced JSON object from the reviewed
+      specification. Require `authority == "concept-audit-only"`, the recorded
+      retired snapshot, 144 sorted unique inventory paths, the recorded SHA-256 over
+      exact UTF-8 path lines with one LF per path, 38 live mapping rows, and the same
+      23 ids in the manifest and ledger. Reject an unmapped path, a dead exact/prefix
+      mapping, and any `lib/src` path mapped only to `RCJ-QUAL-01`.
 
   ```bash
-  cargo test-fastly
-  cargo test-axum
-  cargo test-cloudflare

   ```
 
-  Any pre-existing failure is recorded in the execution notes; it is not silently
-  attributed to this work.
+  Expected before implementation: FAIL because the old checker resolves Git objects
+  and expects the obsolete manifest shape. Implement only the in-spec parser and
+  deterministic checks, then rerun and expect PASS without requiring the retired
+  commit to exist locally.
 
-- [ ] **Step 3: Keep the lockfile-resolved compiler unchanged only while capturing the**
-      pre-change baseline. Task 0A performs the intentional package and TypeScript
-      upgrade before the remaining TSJS runtime is built. Add the checked-in
-      `typecheck` script:
+- [ ] **Step 4: Write the failing current-main classification contract.** The audit
+      fixture has one exact row for every ledger id with this shape:
 
   ```json
-  "typecheck": "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit"
+  {
+    "id": "RCJ-CORE-01",
+    "mainSha": "40 lowercase hexadecimal characters",
+    "classification": "main-owned | implementation-gap",
+    "ownerPaths": ["exact/current-main/path"],
+    "testPath": "exact/focused/test/path",
+    "command": "one exact reproducible command",
+    "result": "pass | fail",
+    "disposition": "preserve | rebuild | supersede | exclude"
+  }
   ```
 
-  Enable `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`,
-  `verbatimModuleSyntax`, `noImplicitOverride`, and
-  `useUnknownInCatchVariables`. Add the CI invocation with the lockfile-resolved
-  compiler. Add both `typecheck` and the existing architectural `lint` command to
-  CI.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Before behavior changes, make bundle measurement deterministic and record the**
-      minimal/reference/maximal raw, gzip, and Brotli bytes, Node/npm/TypeScript versions,
-      Chromium version, CI machine class, fixture, five warmups, 50 samples, p90
-      boot-to-first-display, and forced-GC CDP heap checkpoints. Commit these values to
-      `aps-tsjs-prechange.json`; later tasks may compare against it but must not
-      regenerate it from the completed implementation.
-
-  For this pre-change capture, define the sets exactly as minimal `[core]`, reference
-  `[core, creative, gpt, prebid, datadome]`, and maximal core plus every built
-  integration. Record 23,317 / 8,687 / 7,686; 113,756 / 35,163 / 26,051; and
-  187,224 / 53,799 / 37,790 bytes respectively. These original fields are immutable
-  historical measurements of the old artifact membership. After the split they are
-  printed as deltas only: they are not byte ceilings for the different post-split
-  semantic sets. Task 18E appends one separately identified role-correct capture to
-  this same JSON without changing these fields. Expose the comparator as
-  `npm run check:bundle` and run it in the TypeScript CI job immediately after
-  `npm run build`; before Task 18E it validates inventory/graph integrity and reports
-  historical deltas, and after Task 18E it also enforces the role-correct ceilings.
-  A generated metrics file that is not consumed by CI is not a gate.
-
-  Extend `scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh` with
-  `TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs` and use `npm --prefix ... exec -- playwright` for
-  argument-safe invocation. The script remains the clean-checkout fixture builder:
-  it builds release Fastly WASM with the integration environment, generates
-  Viceroy configuration, builds/loads the framework image, installs browser
-  dependencies, and builds both TSJS fixture variants. Run the new performance
-  test itself—not only the bundle script—and write its 50-sample/heap output to the
-  exact baseline path:
+  The contract rejects duplicate/missing ids, a SHA other than
+  `MAIN_AUDIT_SHA`, empty owner/test/command fields, `proof-pending`,
+  `coverage-gap`, a `main-owned` row whose result is not `pass`, or an
+  `implementation-gap` row whose result is not `fail`. It also rejects a command,
+  owner path, or test path that names `rc/july` or resolves historical source.
 
   ```bash
-  TASK0_EVIDENCE_ID="aps-tsjs-baseline-$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)"
-  TS_BROWSER_FRAMEWORKS=nextjs \
-  TSJS_PERF_MODE=baseline \
-  TSJS_PERF_EVIDENCE_ID="$TASK0_EVIDENCE_ID" \
-  TSJS_PERF_OUTPUT=crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json \
-    ./scripts/integration-tests-browser.sh \
-      tests/shared/tsjs-performance.spec.ts --project=chromium
-  node crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs --baseline-only
+  node --test \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/retired-concept-audit.test.mjs
   ```
 
-  The integration workflow runs the same focused command on its pinned CI image and
-  uploads the resulting JSON. Add required manual input `evidence_id` and include it
-  in `run-name`. Map that input directly into the focused job:
+  Expected initially: FAIL because classifications are absent or pending.
 
-  ```yaml
-  TSJS_PERF_EVIDENCE_ID: ${{ inputs.evidence_id }}
+- [ ] **Step 5: Resolve coverage gaps with tests only.** For each ledger row, locate
+      the current-main owner and focused test. If no focused contract exists, author
+      only the smallest test against the reviewed observable outcome, retain that
+      test in the candidate, and apply the test-only patch to the detached main
+      worktree. Before running it, prove detached main has no production diff:
+
+  ```bash
+  git -C "$MAIN_AUDIT_DIR" diff --name-only -- \
+    ':(exclude)**/test/**' ':(exclude)**/tests/**' ':(exclude)**/*test*' \
+    ':(exclude)**/fixtures/**'
   ```
 
-  Upload the resulting baseline JSON as `aps-tsjs-baseline-` followed by the GitHub
-  workflow run id. The performance test writes that exact environment value into
-  top-level string field `evidenceId`.
-  `dispatch-workflow-run.mjs` validates that the ref is a pushed
-  branch/tag, dispatches with a unique evidence id, polls for exactly that run, and
-  prints its numeric run id. Record the unique evidence id—not the later GitHub
-  numeric run id—in the baseline JSON so the checked-in capture and remote workflow
-  artifact can be joined without a self-referential post-commit edit.
+  Expected: no output. If that proof cannot be made, keep the row `coverage-gap` and
+  stop; do not modify production code.
 
-- [ ] **Step 5: Run:**
+- [ ] **Step 6: Classify all 23 rows against detached current main.** Run each exact
+      focused command from the fixture. Record `main-owned/pass` when current main
+      satisfies it and `implementation-gap/fail` only when the assertion reaches the
+      behavior and fails because it is absent or incomplete. Compilation, dependency,
+      browser-startup, credential, timeout, or fixture failures remain
+      `proof-pending`. The fixture records the main SHA, current owner paths, test
+      path/command/result, and reviewed disposition for every row.
+
+  Re-run the manifest/classification contract after every row. At task exit it must
+  report exactly 23 final rows, zero proof-pending rows, and zero coverage gaps:
 
   ```bash
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run typecheck
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run lint
-  node --test crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/rc-july-adoption.test.mjs
-  test -s crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json
-  jq -e '.evidenceId | type == "string" and length > 0' \
-    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json
-  git diff --check
+  MAIN_AUDIT_SHA="$MAIN_AUDIT_SHA" node --test \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/contract/retired-concept-audit.test.mjs
+  jq -e \
+    --arg sha "$MAIN_AUDIT_SHA" \
+    'length == 23 and all(.[];

+        .classification == "implementation-gap"))' \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/contracts/current-main-concept-audit.json
   ```
 
-- [ ] **Step 6: Commit and push the complete Task 0 gate before dispatching it.** Stage
-      only the Task 0 files, create the baseline-gate commit, push the current branch,
-      and then dispatch the workflow from that exact pushed SHA using the evidence id
-      already recorded in the baseline. The numeric run id remains external workflow
-      evidence; do not edit or recommit the baseline after the run:
+- [ ] **Step 7: Make the audit a CI and plan-integrity gate.** Add
+      `check:concept-audit` to `package.json` and the TypeScript CI job. The checker
+      scans this plan's executable release/performance commands and fails if they
+      fetch, merge, build, or compare `rc/july`; prose that identifies the retired
+      checklist remains allowed. CI validates the embedded inventory and evidence
+      schema without requiring a retired Git object.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run the Phase-0 gate, remove the detached worktree, and commit only
+      audit artifacts.** Do not delete the immutable historical performance fixture;
+      validate its digest and label it report-only. Task 18H installs the fresh-main
+      semantic transfer and timing gates.

-      runtime, the 14-critical/6-deferred catalog, live APS proxying, external GPT/
-      Prebid bytes, and the hard-cutover contract. `git merge` may report conflicts;
-      resolve them before running any test, stage each resolved path explicitly, and
-      assert there is no unresolved, unstaged, or untracked residue. If `main` is
-      already contained, verify the no-op instead of manufacturing an empty commit.
-      Then run the focused suites for every conflicted subsystem plus the full JS
-      gate before completing the merge:
+  Expected: FAIL because no first-display catalog or closed eligibility decision
+  exists.
+
+- [ ] **Step E2: Implement and test exact immutable contracts.** Define and reject
+      unknown/accessor/inherited/missing fields for `TakeoverOutlineV1`,
+      `FirstDisplayHandoffV1`, slice registrations, terminal tombstones, slot/cycle/
+      trace high-water state, and the release-private capsule handle. Enforce 256
+      slots/outcomes, the existing per-field string/collection bounds, 8 MiB canonical
+      non-diagnostics data, a separately normalized 512 KiB GPT-fact subsection, and
+      8.5 MiB total. Handoff data contains no function, Promise, custom prototype,
+      listener, timer, observer, `MessagePort`, `WindowProxy`, network handle,
+      mutable collection, descriptor/ADM/creative payload, or live authority.
+
+  Add mutation tests at minus-one/exact/plus-one for every count and byte boundary.
+  Counters are unsigned, nonwrapping, and strictly above every value ever minted,
+  including pruned entries; never infer a high-water mark from visible rows.
+
+- [ ] **Step E3: Implement the release-private slice transaction.** Accept exactly
+      one expected parser-inserted artifact and `document.currentScript`, exact
+      release/generation/order, and one registration per selected slice. Preparation
+      may validate and allocate inert closure data only. Activation is one
+      non-yielding transaction, registers each disposer before mutation, and rolls
+      back synchronously in reverse order. Reject unknown, duplicate, omitted,
+      misordered, late, wrong-release, or accessor-backed registrations before
+      effects. The sink is closure-private and exposes no public service locator,
+      `TsjsApi`, broker, or extension point.
+
+- [ ] **Step E4: Build the dormant agent artifact and architecture gate.** Generate
+      exactly one server-composed artifact for each permitted slice mask; precompute
+      selection-to-URL and hash-to-selection at registry construction. The build
+      rejects imports from persistent core, capability broker, generic slot/auction/
+      trace registries, later GPT/Prebid code, deferred entries, test/fake/no-op code,
+      and `*ForTest` exports. Persistent artifacts reject imports from
+      `first_display/**`. A hit assembles response bytes at most once; a miss performs
+      no concatenation or hashing. Do not emit the agent from production HTML yet.

+- [ ] **Step F1: Write the failing immutable-batch lifecycle tests.** The agent may
+      validate the manifest/projection, install only provisional GPT/message/guard
+      interception, define/target/request/settle the exact projected GPT batch,
+      execute APS/ADM §4 protocols and attributable empty-GAM fallback, and emit the
+      agent-owned first-action, terminal, and paint timing facts so the combined
+      controller-plus-agent flow emits all four named marks; the controller alone
+      owns the preceding `tsjs:bids-script` mark. It cannot publish `TsjsApi`, accept
+      programmatic units or direct auctions, process SPA/page-bids/later refresh, load
+      persistent or deferred code, present diagnostics, or invoke publisher queue
+      callbacks. Exercise no-bid, APS, ADM, mixed SRA, disabled-initial-load,
+      empty-GAM fallback, invalid projection, and every failure/timeout/replay edge.
+
+- [ ] **Step F2: Implement one bounded provisional lifetime.** Start the bootstrap's
+      ten-second deadline before agent registration. Registration, activation, and
+      the initial responsible action starting must all complete before that same
+      deadline; an activated agent that has not started the action falls back. Every
+      timer, listener, wrapper, observer, readiness waiter, port, node, provisional
+      GPT object, attempt, reservation, ticket, and tombstone has one named exact-once
+      disposer and the §2.3 capacity/expiry rules. The controller records
+      `tsjs:bids-script`; the agent records `tsjs:first-display` immediately before
+      the first responsible GPT action, terminal at the producing latch, and paint
+      only after the complete immutable batch settles plus the two-frame/hidden
+      allowance. An empty batch emits no fabricated first-action mark.
+
+- [ ] **Step F3: Implement and test every exact initial slice obligation.** Share only
+      effect-free leaf contracts small enough for the agent budget; do not import a
+      persistent implementation to force parity. Use corpus tests to prove parity for
+      APS reservation/PUC/document channels; GPT adapter/listeners/targeting/handoff
+      capture; Prebid artifact/queue/bidder/user-ID/EID/TS-bid admission; creative
+      parser-time guards; and the DataDome, Didomi, GTM, Lockr, Osano, Permutive,
+      Sourcepoint, and Testlight initial obligations. Later refresh, navigation,
+      diagnostics presentation, retry/focus/visibility maintenance, direct auction,
+      and public API code are forbidden from every slice.
+
+- [ ] **Step F4: Seal TS admission at protected paint.** After paint, reject every new
+      TS bidder invocation before authority minting, complete it exactly once with no
+      bid and `prebid_admission_failed`, and admit no TS attempt, lease, reservation,
+      ticket, port, request callback, refresh, navigation, or direct auction. Native
+      publisher GPT/Prebid and non-TS bidder traffic remain pass-through and may only
+      update bounded handoff observations. Any live TS authority at seal is
+      `bundle_partial`; unexpired terminal tombstones are transferable suppression
+      state, not live authority.
+
+- [ ] **Step F5: Prove bootstrap queue and load order.** Publisher callbacks remain in
+      the one bootstrap-owned actual Array. On agent pages, no persistent/deferred
+      request, preload, preparation, or evaluation occurs before protected paint. On
+      ineligible or empty pages, bootstrap loads persistent core directly and the
+      ordinary 10-second attempt-creation guard remains authoritative. Parser-time
+      integration obligations activate in the direct persistent transaction when no
+      agent is selected.
+
+- [ ] **Step F6: Run and commit the dormant agent behavior.**

-      version, and parameters; release id; the canonical release inventory with every
-      artifact's exact `id`, `role`, `phase`, `trigger`, `inputs`, `outputs`, `file`,
-      `bytes`, and `hash`; and exact raw/gzip/Brotli values for:
-  - bootstrap: the generated controller/fallback exactly once;
-  - minimal: `[core,render_runtime]`;
-  - reference: `[core,render_runtime,creative,gpt,prebid,datadome]`;
-  - maximal: core plus all twenty catalogued modules, excluding bootstrap.

+#### Task 18G: Implement atomic post-paint takeover or terminal fallback
 
-  ```bash
-  CAPTURE_REF="$(git branch --show-current)"
-  CAPTURE_SHA="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
-  git fetch origin "$CAPTURE_REF"
-  test "$CAPTURE_SHA" = "$(git rev-parse "origin/$CAPTURE_REF")"
-  test -z "$(git status --porcelain)"
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
-  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run test:release
-  ```
+**Task 18G files:**
 
-  Recompute every generated artifact hash from its current bytes and assert the
-  release id, inventory, and metrics agree before copying only those generated values
-  into the new object with `apply_patch`. Do not add a recapture command or mutable
-  update mode to the comparator.
-
-- [ ] **Step E5: Test-drive the permanent comparator.** Pin one canonical digest over
-      every original top-level field except the newly appended
-      `roleCorrectTransfer`; this protects source, environment, sampling, bundles,
-      performance samples/ceilings, and evidence linkage together. Validate every
-      role-correct evidence field and exact semantic membership. At the freeze point,
-      prove the capture's release id, inventory, artifact hashes, and bytes equal the
-      exact clean capture parent. For bootstrap/minimal/reference/maximal and each
-      size kind, enforce `current <= ceil(captured * 1.05)`. Preserve all graph-
-      integrity blockers: no missing/unclassified/multiply counted artifact, omitted
-      maximal module, critical-to-deferred reachability, provider inlining, duplicate
-      adapter/runtime/listener owner, or production test/fake/no-op seam. Add negative
-      mutations for every original subtree and each forbidden edge. Add a fractional
-      boundary fixture proving exactly `ceil(captured * 1.05)` passes and
-      `ceil(captured * 1.05) + 1` fails; this must reject a `floor` implementation.
-      Extract deterministic inventory-set aggregation and raw/gzip/Brotli measurement
-      into pure `scripts/bundle-metrics.mjs`. The build calls that helper; Task 19 may
-      change production entry wiring in `build-all.mjs`, but cannot alter the frozen
-      measurement helper or comparator.

+
+- [ ] **Step G1: Write failing static-preparation and final-snapshot tests.** Runtime
+      download begins only after agent terminal/paint/seal. Static preparation accepts
+      immutable boot plus exact `TakeoverOutlineV1`, constructs generic inert owners,
+      validates capacity, and reads no live agent object or time-sensitive expiry.
+      While bytes download/prepare, increment one u32 `mutationRevision` after every
+      admitted native publisher GPT/Prebid call, GPT event, DOM rebind/mutation,
+      targeting/ownership change, guard observation, consent/segment update, and
+      terminal/tombstone change. Exhaustion fails instead of wrapping.
+
+- [ ] **Step G2: Implement the final handoff and one-use capsule.** In one JavaScript
+      task close agent ingress, record the final revision, drain current synchronous
+      mutation, recursively freeze the exact data handoff, and mint the release/
+      generation-bound capsule carrying only exact committed GPT slot/DOM artifact
+      identities. The capsule is closure-private, consumable once, cleared on every
+      outcome, and never stored in API, `_internal`, boot, diagnostics, logs, or
+      evidence. Add wrong generation/release, duplicate consume, overflow,
+      nonterminal authority, stale mutation, and hostile-shape tests.
+
+- [ ] **Step G3: Implement the five-step non-yielding takeover.** Revalidate outline,
+      terminal batch, paint, authenticated script, generation, and revision; quiesce
+      agent handlers and compare-restore wrappers; detach accepted artifacts; dispose
+      all remaining agent effects in reverse order; activate fresh persistent owners
+      in catalog order while adopting exact objects/facts/high-water values; revalidate
+      the generation and exact `mutationRevision` again immediately before commit;
+      then commit `TsjsApi`, close both private sinks, transfer artifact ownership,
+      run `afterCommit`, and drain the one queue. A revision change during quiesce,
+      disposal, or activation rolls back partial persistent effects and commits the
+      terminal shell without resurrecting the agent. `adoptInitialDisplay:true`
+      forbids reparsing the projection as new work, redefining the slot, reinstalling
+      targeting, issuing GPT action, inserting an iframe, or repeating any mark.
+
+- [ ] **Step G4: Test success and every failure boundary.** At each task boundary
+      exactly one of agent, persistent runtime, or fallback owns ingress/effects. A
+      pre-final-snapshot load/preparation failure leaves the agent only until the
+      bounded persistent deadline, then commits fallback. Failure after quiesce rolls
+      back partial persistent effects, never resurrects the agent, preserves accepted
+      DOM inertly, and commits the terminal shell with exact reason and
+      `initialDisplayCommitted`. Queued callbacks drain once against persistent or
+      fallback; there is no replay, retry, second request, degraded runtime, pending
+      Promise, or accepted-ad removal.
+
+  Browser tests must prove after synchronous commit that no agent listener, timer,
+  observer, port, wrapper, iframe/request authority, registry, disposer, capsule, or
+  strong reference survives; publisher replacements may prevent literal restoration
+  but cannot preserve TS authority. Race native publisher calls and DOM/GPT events
+  immediately before snapshot and immediately after commit to prove final-revision
+  capture and new-epoch handling.
+
+- [ ] **Step G5: Prove direct-to-runtime and deferred behavior remain exact.** An
+      ineligible/no-batch page performs the ordinary persistent bootstrap with no
+      provisional agent. On an agent page, ordinary deferred transactions remain
+      later than persistent commit and start independently after the common gate. A
+      takeover/deferred failure creates no second runtime or head-of-line blocking.
+
+- [ ] **Step G6: Run and commit the prospective takeover without switching production
+      HTML.**

-- [ ] **Step E7: Implement and run the real browser-time, retained-heap, and request-
-      ordering gate before production wiring.** The browser fixture must exercise the
-      generated server controller, real critical artifact, one runtime, and real
-      first-display adapter through test-only prospective routes/composition; it may
-      not switch any production emitter or use `window.__tsjsPerf`. On Chromium
-      145.0.7632.6, `github-hosted:ubuntu-24.04`, and fixture
-      `tsjs-generated-loopback-paired-v2`, use exactly five warmups and 50 samples per
-      variant, require the real `tsjs:bids-script` and `tsjs:first-display` marks,
-      alternate a frozen reference and current variant in one runner process, and
-      enforce current p90 ≤ reference p90 × 1.10 plus p90 ≤100 ms on both variants
-      without selective reruns.
-
-  **Corrected-instrument amendment (2026-08-12).** The earlier E7 run used
-  Playwright request interception and is invalid evidence: `page.route()` /
-  `route.fulfill()` did not measure a real browser-to-server transport. The corrected
-  instrument serves the exact generated controller document and exact built critical
-  and deferred bytes from one in-process `node:http` server bound to an ephemeral
-  `127.0.0.1` port for the Playwright test. Auction POST and page-bids use that same
-  loopback origin; delayed `gpt_later`, request counts, resource timing, mark timing,
-  manual heap lifecycle, and cleanup remain part of the instrument. Its fixture
-  provenance is `tsjs-generated-loopback-paired-v2`; the unchanged generator remains
-  `generated-server-v1`.
-
-  This transport and provenance correction invalidates commit
-  `a7a9bab36c4eee6bc180e9206ca6c6879303d37a` as the frozen E7 instrument, along
-  with its run, evidence tuple, and any instrument tag. The workflow must extract
-  non-empty repository pins with valid quoting and verify Node.js `v24.12.0`, npm
-  `11.6.2`, and Rust `1.95.0` before measurement. The first corrected pinned capture
-  at `62421ee44c62f24534ea8782a46dfa5bfbcea950` (run `31598415675`) measured p90
-  30.5 ms, but the unchanged artifact/instrument measured 40.8 ms in run
-  `31599101515`. That host-load variance invalidates the attempted 33.6 ms absolute
-  ceiling. Use commit `62421ee44c62f24534ea8782a46dfa5bfbcea950` as the immutable
-  detached reference and pair it against current in the same job, alternating order
-  for each warmup/sample. Freeze the 1.10 ratio and 100 ms per-side hard ceiling; do
-  not infer or raise either from a later run. Record and review any capture-derived
-  heap constant change before tagging; after that checkpoint, the corrected
-  instrument bytes, reference SHA, ratio, hard ceiling, and heap thresholds are
-  immutable and the normal pre-switch validation/tag sequence below applies.
-
-  In one separate fresh Chromium context per variant, run the real fixture once. At
-  each heap checkpoint, send `HeapProfiler.collectGarbage` exactly once and
-  immediately read the single `Runtime.getHeapUsage.usedSize`. The obsolete
-  synthetic-fixture absolute ceilings are retired: the corrected fixture first
-  reached this assertion in run `31600763735` and measured 1,620,848 bytes after
-  first render. Enforce current ≤ frozen reference × 1.10 and a 4 MiB hard ceiling
-  for each side at boot, first render, refresh, and SPA navigation. Also assert
-  exactly one critical TSJS request; no deferred request,
-  preload, preparation, or execution before `tsjs:first-display-paint`; independent
-  deferred starts after the gate; and no head-of-line blocking. Performance cannot
-  waive a correctness failure.
-
-  Put the entire measurement job—pinned runner/image, fixture preparation, commands,
-  environment, and named artifact upload—in standalone
-  `.github/workflows/tsjs-performance-gate.yml`, with `workflow_dispatch` and reusable
-  `workflow_call` inputs for evidence id and `preswitch | postswitch` mode. Other
-  workflows may call this file but cannot duplicate or redefine its measurement
-  steps.
+- [ ] **Step H2: Re-run all 23 concept proofs against the refreshed main SHA.** Use a
+      fresh detached worktree and the Task-0 test-only procedure. Update each row's
+      SHA, current owner paths, exact command, result, and classification. A concept
+      newly supplied by main becomes `main-owned`; an infrastructure failure remains
+      proof-pending and blocks Task 19. The final checker must report 23 final rows,
+      zero coverage gaps, and no production/build/performance command that consumes
+      retired source.
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:concept-audit
+  jq -e --arg sha "$PRESWITCH_MAIN_SHA" \
+    'length == 23 and all(.[];
+       .mainSha == $sha and
+       (.classification == "main-owned" or
+        .classification == "implementation-gap"))' \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/contracts/current-main-concept-audit.json
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step H3: Test-drive immutable historical-evidence validation.** Recompute and
+      validate the recorded digests and provenance of the original `bundles`,
+      `roleCorrectTransfer`, and `reviewRemediationTransfer` subtrees. Print their
+      values and fresh-candidate deltas, but add negative tests proving none can
+      supply a pass/fail ceiling, a comparison SHA, or semantic membership. Do not
+      modify the JSON.
+
+  ```bash
+  git diff --exit-code -- \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib test -- \
+    --run test/build/release-v1.test.mjs
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step H4: Test-drive the fresh-main semantic transfer gate.** In the
+      standalone job, fetch `origin/main`, resolve its exact 40-character SHA, and
+      build it in a detached worktree independently from the candidate. Serve each
+      real production page and measure every Trusted Server JavaScript byte delivered
+      or embedded from `tsjs:bids-script` through the first responsible GPT
+      `display`/`refresh` action under the same reference configuration and default
+      creative behavior. Feature-detect the actual main artifact model; never
+      relabel artifacts to create false membership parity. Record raw/gzip/Brotli as
+      `mainReferenceTransfer` and `candidateReferenceTransfer`, and fail unless the
+      candidate is no larger in every encoding.
+
+  Add unit fixtures for legacy-main and release-v1-main shapes, missing/stale main,
+  omitted inline bytes, duplicate counting, mismatched semantic endpoints, and one-
+  byte raw/gzip/Brotli regressions. A local main-less run reports the comparison as
+  unavailable while still enforcing Step H5; CI and release modes fail when the
+  comparison is unavailable or not reproducible.
+
+- [ ] **Step H5: Test-drive independent candidate architecture and size ceilings.**
+      Build the canonical release inventory and calculate exact raw/gzip/Brotli for
+      the inline bootstrap, every permitted first-display mask, the reference
+      persistent runtime after paint, and maximal total with each production role
+      once. Enforce these reviewed constants directly:
+
+  | Semantic set                              | Raw        | Gzip     | Brotli   |
+  | ----------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------- | -------- |
+  | inline bootstrap controller/fallback      | ≤ 48,000   | ≤16,000  | ≤14,000  |
+  | every permitted first-display agent mask  | ≤ 90,000   | ≤30,000  | ≤26,000  |
+  | reference persistent runtime after paint  | ≤524,288   | ≤163,840 | ≤131,072 |
+  | maximal total, every production role once | ≤1,048,576 | ≤327,680 | ≤262,144 |
+
+  Enumerate and hash every permitted mask; the maximizing mask may differ by
+  encoding. Keep the named minimal, reference, APS, and largest summaries. Reject an
+  unclassified/multiply counted artifact, missing production role, test artifact,
+  omitted split module, first-display reachability to persistent/deferred code,
+  takeover reachability to deferred code, provider implementation outside its one
+  physical owner, overlapping agent/runtime side-effect ownership, or production
+  fake/no-op/`*ForTest` reachability. Freeze the twenty largest rendered-source
+  contributions and every repeated attribution for review.

-  Stage only the performance test and workflow wiring, commit and push, then dispatch

-  id and wait for its named pre-switch performance job to succeed. Upload the non-

-  build inputs invalidates the role-correct capture and must receive separate design
-  review; E7 changes only the browser gate and workflow wiring.
+- [ ] **Step H6: Test-drive the fresh-main browser timing, heap, and load-order
+      instrument.** Use Chromium 145.0.7632.6 on
+      `github-hosted:ubuntu-24.04`, fixture `tsjs-main-paired-network-v2`, and one
+      checked-in CDP profile: 150 ms latency, 1.6 Mbit/s download, 750 kbit/s upload,
+      zero loss. Serve each variant from its own ephemeral `127.0.0.1` HTTP server;
+      request interception/fulfillment is forbidden. Alternate main/candidate order
+      for five warmups and 50 measured GPT-reference samples in one Chromium process.
+      Measure the common pre-script-to-first-action interval and require candidate
+      p90 ≤ current-main p90 × 1.10.
+
+  Candidate samples must additionally contain the real `tsjs:bids-script`,
+  `tsjs:first-display`, `tsjs:first-display-terminal`, and
+  `tsjs:first-display-paint` marks, with no persistent/deferred request, preload,
+  preparation, or execution before paint. Run every included deferred transaction
+  independently after the gate and prove one stalled module does not block another.
+  Do not accept `window.__tsjsPerf` or any test-created timing substitute.
+
+  In separate fresh contexts, collect forced-GC paired GPT heap checkpoints after
+  boot, first render, refresh, and SPA navigation. Candidate must be ≤ main ×1.10 at
+  each checkpoint and both sides ≤4 MiB. Run the candidate-only fictional APS/PUC
+  case with five warmups/50 samples and enforce the exact §5.12 action/completion/
+  paint limits plus 3 MiB post-paint and 3.75 MiB post-takeover heap ceilings. A GPT
+  pass never masks an APS failure.
+
+- [ ] **Step H7: Make the gates blocking and collect pre-switch evidence.** The
+      standalone workflow retains `workflow_dispatch` and `workflow_call`, runs
+      automatically for relevant pull-request paths, obtains inputs through `env`,
+      and uploads schema-5 evidence with `always()` after validation. The validator
+      checks exact candidate/main SHAs, artifact models, served byte counts, profile,
+      pair order, all distributions, mark/order/correctness results, and every size/
+      timing/heap outcome. There is no fixed reference tag or candidate-derived
+      baseline.

+      terminal latch, paint, and persistent takeover. Enforce the §5.12 p90 limits
+      (900 ms action, 1,500 ms action-to-completion, 250 ms completion-to-paint,
+      2,500 ms total-to-paint), every narrower correctness deadline, and the 3 MiB /

+### Task 0B: Make frozen transfer captures report-only before artifact changes
+
+This checkpoint must run before Task 0A, Task 1, or any later task changes a package
+graph, production bundle graph, artifact byte, release id, or current source-owner
+set. The immutable captures remain authenticated evidence, but they are not candidate
+acceptance baselines.

+- Read only: `crates/trusted-server-js/lib/test/fixtures/performance/aps-tsjs-prechange.json`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests that separate capture authentication from current acceptance.**
+      Keep byte-for-byte digest, source-SHA ancestry, captured lock/tool/build-input,
+      captured release/membership, and nested-capture authentication for
+      `roleCorrectTransfer` and `reviewRemediationTransfer`. Continue rejecting any
+      mutation of those historical subtrees. Prove their measurements and deltas are
+      printed as report-only evidence.
+
+  Independently prove that a structurally valid descendant release with deliberately
+  changed bytes, release id, and source owners is assessed from its own generated
+  artifacts and does not fail because it differs from either frozen capture. Current
+  inventory completeness, release-id derivation, one physical owner per provider,
+  no forbidden/deferred/test edges, artifact accounting, and hard-cutover absence
+  remain enforceable and must still fail under focused mutations.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Remove every capture-relative acceptance comparison before the first artifact change.**
+      Split immutable capture authentication/reporting from current-release
+      validation. Remove the captured-byte `+5%` ceiling and exact current-versus-
+      captured release/source-owner equality. Do not recapture, mutate, relabel, or
+      weaken authentication of either frozen subtree. Do not invent a temporary
+      performance threshold: Task 18H installs the fresh-current-main semantic,
+      absolute-size, and timing gates before Task 19. Steps A4/A5 later remediate and
+      harden those installed gates; they are not pre-switch gate owners. Until Task
+      18H, every intermediate task must remain structurally green and cannot claim
+      performance acceptance.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the independent capture/current-release gates GREEN.**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run build
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run test:release
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:bundle
+  npm --prefix crates/trusted-server-js/lib run check:concept-audit
+  ```
+
+  Then perform one temporary test-only source-owner/release mutation and prove the
+  frozen captures remain authenticated/report-only while a genuine current graph or
+  inventory violation still fails. Revert the temporary mutation before staging.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit the comparator transition as its own rollback boundary.**
+
+  ```bash
+  git status --short
+  git add \
+    crates/trusted-server-js/lib/scripts/check-bundle-budgets.mjs \

+but it must preserve Task 0B's separation between authenticated historical reports

+  replacement is immutable `tsjs.boot.*` plus typed integration configuration, which
+  the branch already exposes without public `setConfig`/`getConfig`. Keep the
+  unchanged `core/index.test.ts` absence assertion green. Because this branch's
+  `core/config.ts` and its focused test now contain only the forbidden cache-policy
+  parser, they have no final owner and are deleted. Do not edit the immutable
+  current-main concept-audit fixture or historical performance evidence.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4A.2: Run the focused tests and require RED for the demonstrated redesign.**
 
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing server tests for SSAT boot bids, page-bids, and `/auction`. Each must**
-      preserve the discriminated `BidRenderSourceV1` and `candidateId`. APS/ADM carries
-      one server-minted renderer reservation plus the finite nonnegative selected CPM
-      that later becomes the internal `WinnerContext`; browser projection exposes
-      `rendererReservationId` and `/auction` uses it as standard OpenRTB `bid.id`.
-      Current-main `pbs_cache` carries only `cacheId/cacheHost/cachePath`, has no
-      reservation, and retains its native id. CPM is never copied into an APS/ADM
-      render descriptor or capability.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing browser tests proving every TS-owned APS and ADM PUC source**
-      uses the `r1_` reservation byte-for-byte as GAM `hb_adid`. For Trusted Server
-      Prebid, replace the generated TS bid `adId` with that same reservation before
-      targeting; keep native Prebid `adId` untouched. Preserve PBS Cache UUID as the
-      existing cache transport/targeting identity only, never as APS/ADM bridge
-      authority. Add negative tests for truncation, APS/ADM fallback to upstream or
-      cache ids, and native-bid mutation.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add Rust generation tests for `r1_` plus 22 unpadded base64url characters from**
-      16 CSPRNG bytes, response-local uniqueness, eight collision retries, and
-      `identity_generation_failed`. Make projection choose identity from a tagged
-      enum/path decision, not an `or_else` chain. Reject invalid targeting before
-      serialization; never truncate.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Pin cache as a black-box non-regression surface.** Add only the
-      discriminated `BaselinePbsCacheSourceV1` carrier required to preserve existing
-      `hb_adid`, `hb_cache_host`, and `hb_cache_path` handoff. Test deliberate
-      ADM-over-cache precedence, cache-only projection, native UUID preservation, and
-      absence from the reservation registry. Do not add `CacheFetchPolicyV1`, a
-      browser fetch URL, response validator, direct-cache path, new deadline/error,
-      dimensions, or price-expansion rule.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Limit this task to wire projection and pre-mutation validation. Attempt-owned**
-      compare-and-restore targeting cleanup is implemented only after `RenderAttempt`
-      exists in Tasks 13 and 16.
-
-  This task does not publish the new initial/page-bid projection or mutate a live
-  Prebid/GPT bid. Those production mutations begin atomically in Task 19 after the
-  reservation store and integration-module runtime exist.

-- [ ] **Step 6: Run:**
+  Expected: FAIL because the active branch still exposes the provisional cache
+  policy/fetch/direct-path/reservation/error surface and does not yet preserve cache
+  solely behind the GPT-owned black box. Compilation or fixture setup failure is not
+  behavioral RED.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4A.3: Remove the cache redesign atomically and restore only the black-box boundary.**
+  - Replace `CacheRenderSourceV1` with the exact `BaselinePbsCacheSourceV1` tagged
+    carrier. Its width/height are transported winning facts only; do not add a cache
+    dimension validator or clamp. The tagged union has only `aps`, `adm`, and
+    `pbs_cache`.
+  - Delete `CacheFetchPolicyV1`, `parseCacheFetchPolicyV1`, boot `cachePolicy`, the
+    source `fetchUrl`, and every policy argument threaded through projection,
+    fallback, auction-batch, composition, and integration-module APIs. Delete the
+    cache-policy-only `core/config.ts` and `test/core/config.test.ts`; do not
+    reintroduce the generic mutable `setConfig`/`getConfig` API that §5.4 explicitly
+    supersedes.
+  - Remove `renderDirectCacheAttempt`, `resolveCacheAdmAttempt`, cache fetch/response
+    validation from the generic render service, cache registration/claim/promotion
+    from renderer reservations, and cache owner-resolution from the PUC bridge. Remove
+    `cache_network_error`, `cache_http_error`, and `cache_invalid_response` from every
+    generic render/message/outcome grammar. Retain the GPT-owned black-box diagnostics
+    `cache_fetch_failed` and `invalid_cache_payload` exactly. A PBS Cache UUID never
+    enters the `r1_` store, `RenderAttempt`, APS/ADM owner protocol, or a TS-authored
+    direct-cache path.
+  - Keep cache execution entirely in the GPT integration's preserved current-main
+    implementation, behind only runtime generation/disposal. It consumes the thin
+    carrier, owns fetch/parse/macro/PUC behavior, and does not expose a new cache
+    service, parser, policy, deadline, response contract, reservation, error taxonomy,
+    or price authority.
+  - Keep native Prebid behavior byte-for-byte. The Prebid module may clear/preserve
+    the three existing cache targeting keys, but it does not fetch, parse, reserve, or
+    reinterpret cache creatives.

+- [ ] **Step 4B.1: Add failing server and browser projection/identity tests.** SSAT boot,
+      page-bids, and `/auction` must preserve exact `candidateId` plus one discriminated
+      `BidRenderSourceV1`. APS/ADM carries one server-minted `r1_` reservation and the
+      finite nonnegative selected CPM later used only by `WinnerContext`; browser
+      projection exposes `rendererReservationId`, and `/auction` uses it as standard
+      OpenRTB `bid.id`. `pbs_cache` carries no reservation, retains native `cacheId`,
+      and remains outside the reservation service.
+
+  Prove every TS-owned APS/ADM PUC path uses the reservation byte-for-byte as GAM
+  `hb_adid`. Trusted Server Prebid replaces only its generated TS bid `adId` with the
+  same reservation before targeting; native Prebid `adId` remains untouched. Add
+  negative tests for truncation, APS/ADM fallback to upstream/cache ids, native-bid
+  mutation, PBS Cache reservation/price expansion, and standard `adm` on APS or
+  `pbs_cache`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4B.2: Run the focused projection/identity tests and require RED.**

+  ```
+
+  Expected: FAIL only in the new tagged-source join, reservation generation, or exact
+  identity assertions.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4B.3: Implement the minimum complete tagged projection and identity contract.**
+  - Generate `r1_` plus 22 unpadded base64url characters from 16 CSPRNG bytes for
+    APS/ADM only. Prove response-local uniqueness, eight collision retries, and
+    terminal `identity_generation_failed`; never truncate or fall back to an upstream
+    or cache id.
+  - Choose identity by exhaustive tagged-source matching rather than an `or_else`
+    chain. Reject invalid targeting before serialization. Keep CPM out of every
+    descriptor/capability and copy it only into the later immutable `WinnerContext`.
+  - Preserve the exact four-way decision/candidate/`impid`/slot join. APS/ADM has one
+    reservation and one matching projected bid; `pbs_cache` has neither a reservation
+    nor reservation-registry membership. Preserve ADM-over-cache precedence.
+  - Limit this checkpoint to pure projection, parsing, and pre-mutation module tests.
+    Do not publish the new initial/page-bid projection or mutate live Prebid/GPT state;

+  1,048,576/327,680/262,144 raw/gzip/Brotli. Retain Task 0B's byte-for-byte
+  `roleCorrectTransfer` and `reviewRemediationTransfer` authentication/reporting;
+  neither a 5% formula nor a candidate recapture becomes an acceptance gate. Task 18H
+  already installed the blocking absolute gates before Task 19 and ended the
+  threshold-free intermediate period. This later checkpoint remediates and hardens
+  those installed limits from review evidence; it is not their first installation.
