fix(sdk): DSPX-4589 default absent per-segment sizes to the manifest defaults - #397

Conversation
…defaults integrityInformation.segments[].segmentSize and .encryptedSegmentSize are optional in the TDF spec: manifest.schema.json marks segmentSizeDefault and encryptedSegmentSizeDefault required on integrityInformation but puts no required list on segments/items, so an absent per-segment value means "the default", not zero. Gson leaves an absent primitive at 0, so java-sdk read those segments with a zero length buffer and failed inside the integrity check. web-sdk omits a per-segment size whenever it equals the default, which is every full segment, so every web-sdk TDF larger than one default segment (1 MiB) failed to decrypt, surfacing as a confusing integrity error rather than as a manifest problem. A primitive long cannot distinguish an absent JSON key from a literal 0, so a Gson TypeAdapterFactory registered for IntegrityInformation walks the parsed segments array alongside the deserialized list and fills in the defaults only where the key is absent or JSON null. Boxing Segment.segmentSize to Long was the other option, but it breaks the public API for no added behavior. An explicit 0 in the JSON is preserved as 0. TDF.Reader.readPayload additionally rejects a segment with a non-positive encryptedSegmentSize up front -- an encrypted segment always carries at least an IV and a tag -- so a manifest that supplies neither a per-segment size nor a usable default now says so instead of failing downstream with an unrelated complaint about the payload being too small to GMAC.

Correct the guard added for undersized segments and the comments around it. - the old error message blamed a missing encryptedSegmentSizeDefault, but loadTDF already rejects a manifest whose two defaults disagree, so the only way to reach the guard is an explicitly bad per-segment value. say what was observed instead, and name the offending segment. - the guard's rationale is an IV plus an auth tag, but it only checked for a non-positive size. sizes 1..27 still reached the integrity check as a signature mismatch or a GMAC-too-small complaint. raise the floor to kGcmIvSize + GCM_TAG_LENGTH, keeping a positive-only floor for the unencrypted payload branch, where segments carry neither. - hoist the size checks into a pre-pass so an invalid size on a later segment no longer leaves the caller holding the earlier plaintext. - the end-to-end test only asserted that a segmentSize was omitted, but plaintext segmentSize is write-only here: the encryptedSegmentSize omission is what the reader depends on, and it was unasserted. count both, and cover the exact-multiple shape where every segment omits both. - cite the schema by its real path and verify the claim; drop the duplicated copy in the test. document that an explicit null defaults while an explicit zero does not, and that absent defaults leave zeroes. - assert the segments/JSON array size invariant rather than silently iterating the shorter of the two.

Move validateSegmentSizes into Reader (S3398) and hoist the output stream out of the assertThatThrownBy lambda (S5778).

Stack — this is 1 of 2. Split out of #396 so the fix with actual field impact can be reviewed and land on its own.
main)main)integrityInformation.segments[].segmentSizeand.encryptedSegmentSizeare optional in the TDF spec; when absent, the reader is supposed to fall back tosegmentSizeDefault/encryptedSegmentSizeDefault.manifest.schema.jsonmarks the two defaults required onintegrityInformationbut puts norequiredlist onsegments/items, so the per-segment values are optional overrides and an absent one means "the default", not zero.Gson left the absent primitives at
0, and java-sdk read the payload with a zero-length segment. Every web SDK TDF larger than one default segment (1 MiB) failed to decrypt in java-sdk, surfacing as a confusing integrity error rather than as a manifest problem.A primitive
longcannot distinguish an absent JSON key from a literal0, so the fix consults the parse tree: a GsonTypeAdapterFactoryregistered forIntegrityInformationwalks the parsedsegmentsarray alongside the deserialized list and fills in the defaults only where the key is absent or JSONnull. BoxingSegment.segmentSizetoLongwould have been the other option, but it breaks the public API (==inSegment.equals, anint->Longassignment inTDF, existingassertEquals(Long, int)in tests) for no added behavior, so the post-deserialization fixup was chosen instead. Explicit0in the JSON is preserved as0.TDF.Reader.readPayloadadditionally rejects a segment with a non-positiveencryptedSegmentSizeup front — an encrypted segment always carries at least an IV and a tag — so a manifest that supplies neither a per-segment size nor a usable default now says so instead of failing downstream with an unrelated complaint about the payload being too small to GMAC.Tests
