Draft, opened to run CI — in particular the integration job, which boots Zammad and drives it with this gem.

What this is

A breaking 2.0 release. Six commits, each of which builds on its own:

Commit
build: Ruby floor 3.4, refresh dev dependencies
refactor!: rewrite the client internals
feat: RBS signatures + Steep
ci: Ruby matrix, trusted publishing
docs: 2.0 docs and migration table
feat: pattern matching, derived clients
ci: harden the live-Zammad integration job

See the migration table for everything that needs an edit in calling code.

Bugs fixed

  • Collection#each included Enumerable but fetched a single page, so iterating client.x.all silently stopped at 100 records.
  • perform_on_behalf_of used tap with no ensure, so an exception in the block left the From header set on every later request.
  • The transport logged user:password on every client build, and logged request payloads verbatim including passwords sent when creating users.
  • No timeouts at all; no retries; Faraday exceptions leaked to callers.
  • Absolute request paths stripped the prefix from Zammad installations served from a sub-path.
  • safe_json_parse returned {} for an unparseable body, which callers then iterated as key/value pairs.
  • The integration suite only ran Zammad's auto wizard because authentication_spec.rb happened to sort first.

Verified locally

308 unit specs (no Zammad needed), RuboCop clean with the .rubocop_todo.yml backlog resolved rather than carried, Steep clean, 99.6% line coverage, gem builds.

What this PR is meant to verify

The parts I could not check locally:

  • that the Zammad boot sequence still works,
  • that real Zammad payloads match what the gem expects (my local check ran against a stub I wrote, so ParseErrors here are the thing to watch),
  • that zammad/zammad-ci:latest ships Ruby >= 3.4, now that the gem requires it. The Report the toolchain step fails early and explicitly if not.

Note before tagging a release

release.yml publishes via RubyGems trusted publishing. That needs a one-time trusted publisher configured on rubygems.org and a rubygems environment in this repo, otherwise tagging v2.0.0 will fail at the publish step.

Ruby 3.0 has been end of life since April 2024, and 3.1 through 3.3 are
either past or close to their own end of life. Zammad itself pins 3.4.9,
so a 3.4 floor matches the primary audience and lets the code use `it`
and Data without compatibility branches.

Also:
- add faraday-retry, needed for the retrying transport that follows
- add rbs, steep, simplecov and yard for the tooling that follows
- drop the $LOAD_PATH hack from the gemspec in favour of require_relative
- track .ruby-version instead of ignoring a file that was committed anyway
- add bin/setup and bin/console
- raise TargetRubyVersion to match, which needs UseAnonymousForwarding and
  BlockForwarding set explicitly to keep named parameters

The 1.x internals had several defects that could not be fixed without
breaking the public API:

- Collection#each included Enumerable but fetched a single page, so
  iterating `client.x.all` silently stopped at 100 records.
- perform_on_behalf_of used `tap` with no `ensure`, so an exception in
  the block left the From header set on every subsequent request, and
  the mutable setter was unsafe to share between threads.
- The transport logged "user:password" on every client build, and logged
  request payloads verbatim, including passwords sent when creating users.
- Requests had no timeouts, so a hung server blocked indefinitely, and no
  retries, so a transient 502 surfaced to the caller.
- Faraday's ConnectionFailed and TimeoutError leaked to callers.
- Resource paths were absolute, which stripped the prefix from Zammad
  installations served from a sub-path such as /zammad/.
- safe_json_parse returned {} for an unparseable body, which callers then
  iterated as key/value pairs.
- method_missing was used without respond_to_missing?, and resources were
  resolved with const_get on user input.

What replaces them:

- Config: an immutable, validated value object whose inspect redacts
  credentials, so it is safe to log or attach to an error report.
- Transport: timeouts, retry with exponential backoff for idempotent
  requests only (POST is never retried, so a failed create cannot
  duplicate a record), and Faraday errors wrapped as ConnectionError or
  TimeoutError. Credentials and sensitive payload keys are redacted.
- Response: a decoded response object, so Faraday is no longer part of
  the public surface.
- One error class per status: AuthenticationError, AuthorizationError,
  NotFoundError, ValidationError and RateLimitError (with #retry_after).
- Collection: lazily and automatically paginated, with each_page, where
  and immutable page. Replaces ListBase, ListAll and ListSearch.
- ResourceProxy: explicit find/all/search/create/new/destroy instead of
  method_missing plus const_get. Resource readers on Client are defined
  explicitly, so respond_to? answers correctly.
- AttributeAccess: shared attribute reads with respond_to_missing?, a
  strict #fetch, and symbolization that also descends into arrays.

Specs are split so that `rake spec:unit` runs 287 examples against
stubs with no Zammad instance; the specs that need a live server moved
to spec/integration. The .rubocop_todo.yml backlog is resolved rather
than carried: every suppression that remains is an explicit decision in
.rubocop.yml with a reason.

BREAKING CHANGE: see the migration table in the README.

Hand-written signatures for the whole public API, verified by
`rake steep`. Typed projects get checking and editor completion, and the
signatures are published with the gem.

Two things worth knowing about the setup:

- sig/vendor/faraday.rbs stands in for Faraday, which ships no
  signatures. It is excluded from the built gem, because publishing
  third-party signatures would conflict with a consumer's own.
- RBS cannot describe the initializer that Data.define generates, so the
  super call in Config carries a scoped steep:ignore block rather than
  thirteen individual ignores.

Record attributes stay untyped on purpose: Zammad allows
administrator-defined custom fields, so the attribute layer is checked
for structure, not for field names.

…shing

- Split the unit specs, which need no Zammad, from the integration
  specs, so most breakage is caught in seconds rather than after a full
  Zammad boot.
- Run the unit specs on Ruby 3.4, 3.5 and head; head is allowed to fail.
- Add RuboCop and Steep jobs.
- Restrict the default GITHUB_TOKEN to contents:read and cancel
  superseded pull request runs.
- Publish from a tag through RubyGems trusted publishing (OIDC), so no
  API key needs to live in this repository. This needs a one-time
  trusted publisher configured on rubygems.org and a `rubygems`
  environment in the repository settings before a tag will publish.
- Group Dependabot updates so development churn is one pull request.
- Run RuboCop and the unit specs as pre-commit hooks.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The README now covers the client options, the error hierarchy, lazy
collections, logging and the type signatures, and carries a migration
table listing every change that needs an edit in calling code, with the
reason for each.

Most calling code is unaffected: find, all, search, create, new, save,
destroy, changes, attribute readers and writers, ticket.articles,
ticket.article and attachment.download are unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Modern Ruby features applied where they pay for themselves:

- Records implement deconstruct_keys, so Zammad objects can be used with
  case/in, including against nested attributes. Config and Response are
  Data objects and already matched on their members.
- Client#with derives a new client with changed options. It goes through
  Data#with, which re-runs Config's initialize, so the derived options
  are validated rather than trusted, and any on_behalf_of scope carries
  over.
- Response#decoded checks a body against the expected :object or :array
  shape with a single pattern match, replacing four hand-rolled is_a?
  guards that each produced a slightly different message. Error message
  formatting now lives in one place, Error.subject_for.
- Endless method definitions for the 24 genuine one-liners.

Also adds specs proving a shared client does not leak an on_behalf_of
scope across threads, which is the point of making the transport
immutable rather than a documented hope.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The integration job existed but had latent problems that would only show up
as confusing failures:

- `source .gitlab/environment.env` ran in one step's shell, so Zammad's
  generated CI environment was gone by the time the specs ran, and TEST_URL
  was never derived from the port Zammad actually listened on.
- Nothing waited for Zammad to accept connections, so the suite could start
  against a server that was not up yet.
- No timeout, so a hung boot would hold a runner for the six hour default.
- The Zammad ref was implicit (whatever `develop` happened to be) and there
  was no way to run the job against a specific ref.
- A failed boot produced a bare connection error with no logs.

Now the job reports the toolchain (failing early and clearly if the
zammad-ci image ever ships a Ruby older than this gem requires), boots
Zammad at a pinned ref, promotes its environment into $GITHUB_ENV, polls
until the instance answers, runs script/check_connection.rb as a preflight,
runs the integration specs, and uploads Zammad's logs on failure. It is
gated behind the unit job so a broken unit suite does not pay for a Zammad
boot, and is triggerable by hand with a chosen Zammad ref.

script/check_connection.rb drives a live instance through the documented
workflows in one linear pass and prints a transcript. It stops at the first
failed precondition, so an unreachable or unconfigured instance yields one
clear line instead of a cascade of NoMethodErrors on nil.

Integration setup no longer depends on spec file ordering: the auto wizard
runs from a hook, once per suite, and an instance that is already set up is
no longer treated as an error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release updates the gem to version 2.0.0 and Ruby 3.4+. The client now uses immutable configuration, structured transport responses, typed errors, resource proxies, namespaced resources, and lazy collections. RBS signatures, unit tests, integration checks, examples, documentation, CI workflows, and trusted publishing automation were added or updated. Legacy dispatcher, list, logging, and JSON helper components were removed.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 204b7

The client and transport rewrite changes request handling, retries, logging, parsing, and resource behavior, but the current head still has concrete security and correctness risks: credentials may remain exposed in logs or configuration output, attachment examples may overwrite or write outside their intended directory, and malformed responses or repeated attribute assignments can behave incorrectly. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Both found by actually running the workflow.

The Boot Zammad step aborted immediately with

    /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: line 29: rvm_path: unbound variable

because I had added `set -euo pipefail`. RVM's profile script reads unset
variables, so nounset kills it; the upstream script worked precisely
because it did not set -u. Keeping -e and pipefail, dropping -u.

The Ruby head job could not install at all:

    ffi-1.17.4 requires ruby version < 4.1.dev, which is incompatible with
    the current version, 4.1.0.dev

ffi arrives via steep -> listen -> rb-inotify, and Ruby head is now
4.1.0.dev. The unit specs do not need the type-checking toolchain, so the
unit job installs with BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development. The types job keeps
installing it on a released Ruby. This also speeds up the matrix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
All 53 integration specs failed against a real Zammad with

    Zammad ... is not set up and the auto wizard did not run:
    {"error" => "Authentication required"}

The preflight step runs Zammad's auto wizard, so by the time the specs ran
the wizard reported failure and the fallback check took over. That fallback
read GET /api/v1/getting_started expecting {"setup_done": true}, but a
configured Zammad requires authentication for that endpoint, so the check
could never succeed on an instance that was already set up.

Replaced with an authenticated request, which answers the only question
that actually matters: can the suite talk to this instance as the
configured user. Same fix in script/check_connection.rb, which had the same
flawed fallback and only avoided it by happening to run the wizard first.

This also affected anyone re-running the integration suite twice against
the same instance.

Also asks setup-ruby for the latest bundler on Ruby head: the 2.6.9 pinned
by Gemfile.lock crashes there with NameError on the removed
Pathname::SEPARATOR_PAT.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ruby head cannot install this gem's development dependencies at all, for
two reasons that both sit outside this repository:

- With Gemfile.lock present, bundler honours `BUNDLED WITH 2.6.9`,
  self-downgrades from head's own 4.1.0.dev, and then dies with
  `NameError: uninitialized constant Pathname::SEPARATOR_PAT`, which head
  removed. Asking setup-ruby for a newer bundler does not help, because the
  lockfile pin wins.
- Without the lockfile, a fresh resolution pulls
  steep -> listen -> rb-inotify -> ffi, and ffi requires Ruby < 4.1.dev.

Neither says anything about whether this gem works on head, and a check
that is permanently red teaches people to ignore CI. The matrix keeps 3.4
and 3.5, both green. The reason and the route back are recorded in the
workflow so head can be restored when either issue is fixed upstream.

@mantas for the general approach, I'd suggest a beta/rc phase like for the php client, to give people a chance to provide feedback.

`ruby-version: '3.5'` did not test Ruby 3.5. No stable 3.5 exists yet, so
setup-ruby resolved it to the newest 3.5 build available, 3.5.0-preview1
from 2025-04-18 — a preview that predates 3.4.9 and is not something to
gate merges on. My earlier check of ruby-lang.org appeared to confirm a
3.5.0 release only because the regex I used dropped the `-preview1`
suffix.

The newest stable Ruby is 3.4.10, so with required_ruby_version >= 3.4 the
matrix is the 3.4 line alone. Kept as a matrix, with the reasoning
recorded, so adding '3.5' on release is a one-word change.

Yep. This is definitely too big to drop on the spot.

mantas and others added 5 commits August 27, 2026 17:20
Ruby 4.0 is the current stable line (4.0.6 at time of writing). I had
missed it twice, because the regex I used to check ruby-lang.org hardcoded
`Ruby 3\.` and so could only ever report 3.x — which also explains the
earlier claim that 3.4.10 was the newest stable.

There is no 3.5 to add: that line was abandoned after 3.5.0-preview1 and
became 4.0. head remains excluded, and the ffi constraint that blocks it
(Ruby < 4.1.dev) is satisfied by 4.0, so 4.0 installs the full toolchain
normally.

Left spec.email as the shared support@zammad.org address rather than
adding a personal one, since the gemspec is published publicly.

Six scripts covering what a real project actually does with this gem:

- ticket_report.rb      bulk CSV export; automatic pagination, each_page
                        batching, client.with for a long-running job
- triage_tickets.rb     search, lazy early exit, case/in pattern matching on
                        records, staged changes, adding an article
- onboard_customer.rb   organization + user + a ticket raised on behalf of
                        that user, both scoped-client and block forms
- download_attachments  walking articles, binary-safe attachment downloads
- error_handling.rb     every error class, retry_after, server_message, and
                        configuration rejected before any request is made
- concurrent_sync.rb    a worker pool sharing one immutable client, plus the
                        Rails initializer shape in a comment

All six were run against a stub Zammad and produce the expected output,
including both branches of the pattern match in triage_tickets.rb.

examples/ is no longer excluded from RuboCop. An example that no longer
compiles is worse than no example, and the exclusion is what let the old one
drift.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pagination was used across the other examples but never explained, and
page, where and [] were not demonstrated anywhere — a gap worth closing,
since pagination is the biggest behavioural change from 1.x.

examples/pagination.rb walks a collection every available way and prints
what each one actually costs in HTTP requests, measured by counting the
requests the client logs through an injected Logger. That makes the lazy
behaviour concrete: building a collection is 0 requests, `.first` is 1
however long the list, `.first(7)` at 5 per page is 2, and a full traversal
is one request per page plus one to discover the end.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`each` and `each_page` own the loop, which is wrong for a job that has to
checkpoint, throttle, or hand batches to a queue. examples/manual_batches.rb
shows the four approaches and when each fits:

- `each_page` without a block returns an Enumerator, so `next` pulls exactly
  one page when the consumer is ready and the rest is never fetched
- `each.each_slice(n)` decouples processing batch size from API page size
  (fetch 5 per request, commit 12 at a time)
- an explicit `page(n, per_page:)` loop that persists the page number, so an
  interrupted run resumes; it checkpoints after the batch is handled, so a
  crash repeats a batch rather than skipping one
- the same loop throttled, with RateLimitError#retry_after honoured

Verified against a stub, including that seeding the cursor at page 4 really
does resume there and process only the remaining pages.

- Around line 27-35: Update the attachment path construction in the nested
article/attachment iteration to include an attachment ordinal or other stable
unique value alongside the article ID and filename, ensuring same-named
attachments cannot overwrite one another and saved accurately reflects written
files.

In `@examples/example_http_token.rb`:
- Around line 56-59: Update the attachment-writing loop after
ticket.articles.first&.attachments&.each to write only into a dedicated download
directory, validate or derive each filename with its basename so absolute paths
and traversal segments cannot escape that directory, and pass the resulting
controlled path to File.binwrite.

In `@examples/manual_batches.rb`:
- Around line 108-115: Update the request block around client.ticket.all in the
batch flow to track rate-limit retry attempts, retry only up to a defined
maximum, and re-raise the ZammadAPI::RateLimitError once that limit is exceeded;
preserve the existing retry-after wait behavior for allowed attempts.

In `@examples/ticket_report.rb`:
- Around line 37-45: Update the CSV row construction in the ticket report to
neutralize spreadsheet formula prefixes for every ticket-derived cell before
export, including values beginning with =, +, -, @, tab, or carriage return;
preserve the required ticket ID lookup and existing column order, and add a
regression case covering a title beginning with =1+1.

In `@lib/zammad_api/config.rb`:
- Line 72: Update Config#inspect to redact credentials in the proxy URL,
including username and password, before rendering it. Reuse the existing
REDACTED_ATTRIBUTES policy where appropriate and preserve safe output for other
configuration attributes.
- Around line 98-110: Update the Config initialization for stored string values
so each caller-provided string is duplicated and frozen before being retained,
including URL, credentials, proxy, user agent, and other string-valued settings.
Preserve non-string values and existing normalization/presence behavior, and
ensure Config’s exposed members cannot be mutated through methods such as
Config#url.

In `@lib/zammad_api/resources/base.rb`:
- Around line 122-125: Update write_attribute so changes preserves each
attribute’s original baseline instead of overwriting it on subsequent
assignments. When the new value equals that baseline, remove the attribute from
changes; otherwise retain the existing baseline and current value so changed?
and save avoid no-op updates.
- Line 99: Update reload where it assigns response.body to `@attributes` to use
response.decoded with the object type, operation "reload object", and self.class
as resource_class. Preserve the decoded-object validation so non-JSON,
malformed, or array responses raise ParseError before replacing `@attributes`.

In `@lib/zammad_api/transport.rb`:
- Around line 196-202: Update redact so hash keys are considered sensitive when
they contain or end with a configured sensitive-key token, rather than requiring
exact equality. Ensure password_confirm, access_token, and refresh_token are
redacted while preserving recursive handling for other hashes and arrays.
Centralize the matching logic in a sensitive_key? helper and update
SENSITIVE_KEYS declarations consistently.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 249: Update the fenced code block beginning at the affected README
section to include the text language identifier, changing the opening fence to
```text while preserving the block’s contents and closing fence.

In `@spec/support/integration_helper.rb`:
- Around line 59-61: Update the self.connection method to configure finite
open_timeout and timeout values in the Faraday connection options, preventing
setup requests from hanging when the configured TEST_URL accepts connections
without responding.

In `@spec/unit/zammad_api/client_spec.rb`:
- Around line 228-238: Update the “leaves the shared client unscoped throughout”
example to assert the shared client’s request does not include a From header
after the threaded on_behalf_of calls. Configure the request stub to reject or
verify that header is absent, and replace the client.config frozen assertion
with this request-based check.

In `@spec/unit/zammad_api/transport_spec.rb`:
- Around line 284-290: Update the “stays silent by default” example to observe
the logger or output stream actually used by unit_transport, wiring quiet into
the transport’s logger configuration or asserting the default logger destination
directly, so the request’s default logging behavior is genuinely verified.

Transport#decode_body hands back the raw String for a non-JSON content
type, an empty body, or a JSON::ParserError, so Response#body is not
guaranteed to be a Hash. Every other call site guards against that with
Response#decoded; reload was the only place in lib/ that assigned
Response#body straight to @attributes, and it accepted a JSON array
just as happily.

The result was that a proxy answering with an HTML gateway-timeout
page — the shape of issue #29 — left @attributes holding a String,
and the next attribute read failed with `TypeError: no implicit
conversion of Symbol into Integer` instead of the ParseError that
Response#decoded exists to raise.

reload now goes through decoded(:object) like save does. Because
decoded raises before the assignment, a failed reload also leaves the
record's existing attributes intact rather than half-replacing them.

Covered by three specs — an array body, a text/html body, and the
record keeping its attributes after a failed reload. All three fail
against the previous code.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #53.

Config promises that a config object is safe to log, and the transport
promises the same for its debug output. Both leaked.

Config#inspect rendered proxy verbatim, and a proxy URL carries its
credentials inline, so `http://user:pass@proxy:8080` printed the
password in full. The userinfo is now blanked while the host stays
visible, which is the part worth seeing in a bug report.

Transport#redact matched payload keys against an exact list, so the
keys Zammad and OAuth actually send went straight to the log in clear
text: password_confirm (Zammad's own object attribute), access_token,
refresh_token and client_secret. Matching a substring instead covers
those and every key the old list held.

Config also stored caller-supplied strings as-is. Data members are
mutable in Ruby, so `config.url << "..."` worked and mutated the
caller's own string object at the same time, and any Transport built
from that config afterwards would pick up the change. Each string
member is now a frozen copy — copied rather than interned with
String#-@, so a credential does not outlive its config in the global
fstring table.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #53.

write_attribute recorded the current attribute value as the "old" half
of the change every time it ran, so the baseline moved with each
assignment. Writing an attribute twice reported the intermediate value
rather than the one the record was loaded with:

    group.name = 'First'
    group.name = 'Second'
    group.changes  # => {name: ["First", "Second"]}

and setting a value back to what it started as left the record dirty,
so save issued a no-op update for it.

The baseline is now the value already recorded for that attribute, or
the loaded value on the first write, and a write that restores the
original drops the change entirely.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #53.

"leaves the shared client unscoped throughout" asserted only that
client.config is frozen, which stays true whether or not on_behalf_of
leaked a scope onto the shared client. It now makes a request from the
shared client after the threads finish and asserts that request carried
no From header — the thing the name claims.

"stays silent by default" built a StringIO, stubbed :write on it and
never passed it to the transport, so the expectation held no matter
what the default logger did. It now asserts that a request through a
default transport writes nothing to stdout or stderr. The surrounding
let(:output) had to be renamed, because it shadowed RSpec's own output
matcher.

Both were confirmed to fail against the behaviour they describe before
being kept.

The integration helper's bare Faraday connection also had no timeouts,
so a TEST_URL that accepts a connection and then never answers would
hang the integration job rather than failing the setup check.

The examples are meant to be copied into real projects, so the ones
handling server-supplied data should model the safe version.

ticket_report.rb wrote ticket fields straight into CSV. A title is
whatever the customer typed, and a spreadsheet evaluates a cell
starting with =, +, -, @, tab or CR as a formula, so an exported
report could execute a customer-controlled formula on open. Every
ticket-derived cell is now forced to text.

download_attachments.rb and example_http_token.rb built a path from
attachment.filename, which the server supplies. A name containing
../ escaped the download directory, and example_http_token.rb wrote
into the working directory besides. Both take File.basename and a
dedicated directory now; download_attachments.rb also includes the
attachment id, so two same-named attachments on one article no longer
overwrite each other and inflate the saved count.

manual_batches.rb retried a rate-limited page forever. It now gives up
after five attempts rather than sleeping in a loop with no way out.

Also adds the missing language to a README code fence (MD040).

`all` and `search` took pagination and filters in one keyword bag, so
the page size had to be repeated at every entry point — `all(per_page:)`,
`search(per_page:)`, `page(n, per_page:)` — and a `page:` inside that bag
was accepted and then silently dropped. Collections now build up by
chaining, in vocabulary Ruby users already know:

  client.ticket.where(state: 'open').per(500)
  client.ticket.all.in_batches(of: 500) { |tickets| import(tickets) }
  client.ticket.all.find_each(batch_size: 500) { |ticket| archive(ticket) }
  client.ticket.all.page(2).per(50)
  client.ticket.search('crash').first(10)

`page(n)` plus `per(n)` replace `page(n, per_page: m)`, `in_batches`
replaces `each_page`, `where` is also available on the proxy, and the
search term is positional. `Collection#[]`, `#per_page` and
`#current_page` are gone.

Separating the two concerns closes three defects the old shape allowed.

`per` clamps to the page size the endpoint actually serves, so asking
for more no longer truncates the result set. Zammad caps per_page per
endpoint (100 for /api/v1/tickets, 200 for a search, 1000 for the other
index endpoints) and derives the offset from the capped limit, so
`all(per_page: 250)` fetched page one and stopped: 100 records looked
like a short final page. All 250 are walked now.

`where` raises ArgumentError for `page`, `per_page`, `expand` and
`only_total_count` instead of accepting them and overriding them when
building the request.

`#[]` is removed. It cost a request per index and ignored the page a
collection was limited to, so `all.page(4)[0]` returned the first record
of the whole list rather than of page 4.

Two additions come out of the same work. `count` asks a search endpoint
for its total in one request (`only_total_count=true`) rather than
walking every page, and `PaginationError` is raised when an endpoint
answers a page with the page before it, so a proxy that strips the query
string fails instead of paging forever. Every endpoint this client uses
honours `page` today.

2.0.0 is unreleased, so there are no deprecation shims; `all` and
`search` leave the README's "unchanged from 1.x" list.

The YARD tags still described `#response` as a `Faraday::Response`, which
2.0 replaced with `ZammadAPI::Response` so that Faraday stays an
implementation detail of the transport. The README and the changelog both
document the new type; only these two tags were left behind.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The resource classes cover seven Zammad objects. Everything else -
roles, tags, overviews, macros, webhooks, time accountings - had no
route through this gem at all, because Transport is private API. The
only way out was to build a Faraday connection by hand and reimplement
authentication, retries, credential redaction, JSON decoding and the
error mapping alongside it.

These four methods hand back the same ZammadAPI::Response the resource
classes work with, so the status and headers stay reachable, and a
non-2xx response raises the same error class it would for a modelled
resource. POST stays unretried.

Paths are relative to the instance URL so a sub-path install keeps
working, and a leading slash is stripped so paths can be pasted
straight from the Zammad documentation.

`save` raising on a rejected attribute forced a begin/rescue around
every edit, which is not what anyone reaching for `save` expects. It now
returns whether the record was stored and leaves the rejection in
`#error`, so a form-shaped flow reads as a conditional.

Only HTTP 422 is caught. An expired token, a missing record or an
unreachable instance still raises, because no correction to the
attributes would change the outcome and swallowing those turns a
misconfigured client into a silent no-op.

`save!` keeps the old behaviour for scripts that should stop on the
first failure, and `create` uses it, so the one-line create still raises
rather than handing back a record that looks created but is not.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`attributes` and `changes` were attr_readers over the live internal
hashes, so `record.attributes[:name] = 'x'` changed what the record
reported while staging nothing - `changed?` stayed false and the next
`save` never sent it. `record.changes.clear` was worse: the attributes
still looked edited but the update went out empty. `to_h` dup'd only the
top level, so a nested hash stayed shared with the record.

Both readers are now deeply frozen, so those writes raise instead of
corrupting the record, and `to_h` hands back a deep copy. `@attributes`
becomes copy-on-write, which is also what makes a persisted record safe
to read from several threads.

Values a caller assigns are copied before being frozen, so freezing does
not reach back into the caller's own string - the same reasoning
Config#immutable already applies to credentials.

Two holes in what `request` and `build_connection` promise.

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError was in neither CONNECTION_ERRORS nor
RETRIABLE_EXCEPTIONS, and only its Faraday wrapper was rescued.
`request` documents every failure leaving as a ZammadAPI::Error, and the
bare socket errors are listed precisely because an adapter that does not
wrap them used to let them out raw - this gem lets a caller choose the
adapter, and spec/support exists to exercise one. Through such an
adapter a certificate mismatch escaped past every
`rescue ZammadAPI::TransportError`. It is mapped now, and deliberately
not retried: a rejected certificate is a fact about the instance, not a
transient failure.

The ConfigurationError raised when a connection cannot be built
interpolated the underlying message, and for a malformed proxy URL that
message quotes the whole URL - password included - into every log and
exception report. A password with an unencoded space is the very input
named in the comment two lines above, and USERINFO_PATTERN exists to
keep exactly this out of rendered output. The configured values are
swapped for their redacted forms rather than the message being dropped,
because "bad URI (is not URI?)" without the URI says nothing about where
to look.

Three callers walked the same Hash/Array/String structure with their own
copy of the rule: a record freezing the attributes it was built with,
the same record handing a copy back, and the test kit recording the
payload a request carried. A rule written three times is one that gets
fixed in one of them, and the test kit's copy already differed by not
symbolizing keys, with nothing to say whether that was the point or an
oversight.

DeepCopy.frozen_copy and DeepCopy.writable_copy are the one walk now,
with key symbolizing as the argument that actually varies. Named for
what they return rather than `freeze` and `dup`, which would shadow the
Object methods of those names inside the module and read as them at
every call site.

Two ways the stand-in differed from the Zammad it stands in for, both
found by writing the obvious stub.

A collection walks until a page repeats, comes back short, or comes back
empty, and a stub kept serving the same records to every page. So one
`stub(:get, 'api/v1/groups', body: [...])` - the obvious way to stand in
for a list endpoint - made every full read of that collection raise
PaginationError, and the only way to find out was to hit it. Against a
real Zammad the same code works, because page 2 comes back empty. The
records a stub holds are one page of them now, and a request for a later
page gets an empty one; a stub that names a `page` is served exactly as
written, which is how a test says what the second page holds.

Sequencing was grouped by whether a stub was scoped at all, not by the
scope itself, so two stubs naming different parameters were read as a
sequence and the first was consumed. Stubbing a search once for its
records and once for its count made `count` eat the records stub, hand
back an Array where a count belonged, and then report the endpoint as
unstubbed - three symptoms from one declaration, and a message that
contradicted itself. A scope is the exact set of parameters a stub names
now, the most specific one answers, and two that are equally specific
raise AmbiguousStubError rather than one being picked. The signatures
also said both test-kit errors descend from ZammadAPI::Error, which is
what the code comments say they must not do.

A proxy holds nothing but the client's transport and the resource class,
and `client.ticket` is the idiom every call in the README starts with -
each one allocated a fresh one.

The cache belongs to one transport, so `with` and `on_behalf_of` start
their derived clients with an empty one rather than handing out proxies
still wired to the transport they were derived from. That is the whole
risk in memoizing this, so there is a spec for it that asserts the
derived client's From header rather than object identity.

While here, the leading-slash rule `raw` applies moved next to the other
path rules on Transport. stringify_query and escape_path_segment were
made public class methods with the reason that an escaping rule kept in
two places is one that gets changed in one of them; this one was kept in
three, the test kit among them, where drifting apart makes stub matching
quietly stop working.

Thirteen entries, all of them corrections to code 2.0 has not shipped
yet: a walk that stopped on an under-reported total and truncated
silently, a create whose unparseable 2xx body let a retry POST twice, a
proxy password reaching the log through a ConfigurationError, the three
config options that escaped that error entirely, an unwrapped TLS
failure escaping the gem's hierarchy, a subclassed resource losing its
path, endpoint facts that were silently ignored when misspelled, and the
two ways the test kit did not behave like the Zammad it stands in for.

The README gains what the test kit section never said: one stub is
enough for a list endpoint, naming a `page` says what each page holds,
and two scopes that match a request equally well are refused rather than
guessed at. Every snippet in that section was run.

A record is persisted because Zammad answered 2xx, not because the
answer parsed - decoding first let a 201 carrying an HTML proxy page
raise ParseError with the record still looking new, so a retried save
POSTed a second one. What that ordering leaves behind is a record that
is persisted and has no id, and nothing treated it as the unusable
thing it is.

A record built by `new` has nothing staged, so the retry took save's
"nothing changed, nothing to send" short circuit and returned true
having made no request at all, for a record that may or may not be in
Zammad. `reload` and `destroy` were no better: they reported "has no
id, save it first" about a record that had just been saved.

`save` now establishes the id before it can report success,
`member_path` asks through the same guard, and the message tells the
two cases apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
An attribute the record does not carry is not an attribute whose value
is nil. Zammad reduces the object it serializes for a permission-scoped
client, so a key being absent says nothing about what is stored, and
`group.note = nil` is a request to store nil rather than a write to
drop.

Read as a nil original, it compared equal on the way in, staged nothing
and was still merged into the attributes: the write went nowhere, `save`
returned true having sent no request, and the record went on reporting a
key Zammad had never sent it, so `changes` and `attributes` disagreed.

The baseline a change is measured against is now held rather than read
back out of the attributes it has already been merged into, which is
also what makes writing a value back to its original stop being a change
only where the record was loaded carrying that attribute.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`update` assigned first and saved second, and `save!` is where the
destroyed check lives, so `update` on a destroyed record raised and left
it `changed?` with a change set that can never be sent - exactly the
state `destroy` clears the staged changes to prevent.

The refusal happens before anything is written, so a record that is gone
stays as it was.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`ticket.article(...)` merged the ticket's id into the attributes without
asking for one, so on an unsaved ticket it POSTed `ticket_id: null` and
left the caller reading Zammad's 422 to work out that the ticket they
were adding to had never been saved.

It was the one path in the gem that needed a stored id and went to the
server to find out it had none: `reload`, `destroy`, saving an existing
record and `related.articles` all say so locally.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A has_many reader spends one request and hands back the whole list,
because the association endpoints Zammad routes serve it whole -
`by_ticket` answers with every article a ticket has. It is the one list
in the gem that does not walk, and that is a property of the endpoint
rather than of the declaration, so a target that started paging would
have handed back its first page and nothing to say so, while `all` and
`search` walk to the end.

Index endpoints report the size of the whole result in a header, so the
reader checks it rather than trusting it, and raises PaginationError
instead of returning a list that is quietly short. `has_many` now says
what it needs of the endpoint it is declared against.

The resource proxies were memoized on first use, so the first
`client.ticket` in each worker wrote to an unsynchronised Hash. That
contradicts what the class documents and what
examples/concurrent_sync.rb tells the reader twice: a client is
immutable once built, so one instance is safe to share between threads
with nothing to synchronise. CRuby's GVL makes the race harmless, but a
contract that holds on one implementation is not the contract that was
written down.

They are built with the client instead, into a frozen Hash, so the
object is finished the moment it is handed back and `resource` is a
lookup.

That happens in one private `setup`, which all four ways of making a
client now go through. `build` used to restate `initialize`'s list of
instance variables by hand through `allocate`, with nothing pinning the
two together - the proxy memo was itself such an addition, and a fourth
one would have left every client built for a test unset where it
mattered.

`verify_setup_done!` wraps its failure into a SetupError naming the URL
and the user. The auto wizard probe one line above it did not, so the
commonest failure of all - CI booting against a Zammad that never came
up - reached every example as a bare Faraday exception from the helper
that exists to explain exactly that.

The failure is memoized alongside the success too, because `||=`
memoizes neither: an unreachable TEST_URL re-ran the whole probe, two
requests with a ten second open timeout each, once per example.

`RateLimitError#retry_after` fell back to `headers['Retry-After']`,
which can never be reached: `Transport#decode` and `Test#stub` both
downcase every header key before a Response is built, so there is no
capitalised spelling left to find.

It read as if the downcasing were not guaranteed, which is an invitation
to add the same defensive fallback to the next reader of a header.

Eleven one-line bodies that did nothing but pass their arguments on to
`all`, three of them carrying a `steep:ignore` because forwarding into
Collection's with-block and without-block overloads cannot be resolved.
Forwarded by name there is no call site left to resolve, and the list of
what a proxy lends from Collection is stated once.

Steep needs to know the class extends Forwardable before it can see
`def_delegators`, but naming it in the published signatures would make
`rbs validate` fail for every consumer that has not loaded the stdlib
declarations for it - the failure mode the rbs_published task exists to
catch. It goes in sig/vendor, which is already kept out of the gem, next
to the Faraday stand-in that is there for the same reason.

Every `find_each` and `in_batches` example used `of: 500` against
`client.ticket`, which caps at 100, so each headline example did
something other than what it showed - including the one in Collection's
own class doc.

The clamp itself stands. A batch size says how much to fetch at a time,
so a smaller one costs more requests and still walks to the same last
record, while `page`'s size also decides which records the page holds,
which is why that one is refused rather than reduced. The asymmetry is
now written down where it is decided, and the section that documents it
no longer says reducing a batch size costs "an extra request".

Eight entries, all corrections to code 2.0 has not shipped yet: a create
whose unparseable 2xx body left a record persisted with no id, so every
later save reported success without sending anything; a write of an
attribute the record does not carry, dropped without a word while the
record started reporting a key Zammad never sent it; `update` on a
destroyed record leaving it dirty with a change set that can never be
sent; an article POSTed against a ticket that was never saved; a
has_many list quietly truncated to whatever one response held; and the
resource proxies that made a client mutable after it was documented as
immutable.

The paging examples are the last of them: every `find_each` and
`in_batches` example asked for a page size the ticket endpoint does not
serve.

Quoting a value that carries search syntax broke every lookup on an
instance without Elasticsearch. That backend matches the term literally,
through a SQL LIKE over the string columns
(CanSearch#search_sql_query_extension), so the quotes became characters
the value had to contain - and a hyphen counts as syntax, so
`find_by(name: 'support-eu')` found nothing at all there. The live
Zammad job caught it: the smoke group went out as
`query="smoke-68efca31"` and came back with no hits.

What the quoting was for does not hold either. Elasticsearch rejecting a
query is not a 4xx out of find_by: SearchIndexBackend#search_by_index
logs the rejection and returns no hits, so such a value arrives here as
a miss - `nil`, which is what find_by documents - rather than as a
failure. So the value goes out as it is, and a value carrying syntax is
searched as syntax on whichever backend the instance runs.

The unit specs stubbed the search endpoint and asserted the quoting, so
they could not see that it found nothing; they now assert the term goes
out as given, one of them on the shape that failed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every string value went into one term, so a lookup on two attributes
asked for a term no single column holds. An instance searching without
Elasticsearch matches literally, through a SQL LIKE over the string
columns, so `find_by(firstname: 'Jane', lastname: 'Doe')` went out as
`query="Jane Doe"` and asked firstname, lastname and email each to
contain the whole of it. None of Jane Doe's columns does, so a user that
exists came back as nil, and the `find_by(...) || create(...)` this
documents made a duplicate on every run.

Single-attribute lookups were unaffected, which is why it stood through
four rounds on this method. The longest value goes out now, as the most
selective of them within a scan capped at one page, and every other
value is compared here - which is where the non-string values were
compared already.

Not by quoting the values apart: that is what 26a0c57 did and b1195a5
undid, for the same reason this changes. Both spellings find nothing on
the backend that matches literally.

The spec asserted the query string, so it passed on a stub that answers
whatever term it is handed - the same blind spot b1195a5 recorded. It
asserts the record comes back now, with the term itself pinned as the
fence against joining them again. The stubbed suite cannot settle this,
so check_connection.rb drives a two-attribute lookup against the live
instance, where the single-attribute version has been all along.

The corroboration ae1d56f added read the size that was asked for, not
the size the endpoint answers with. The two are the same only where the
server fills the request, and the walk already learns better one line
later: the page size is taken from the first page precisely because a
lowered api_pagination_limit or a custom deployment serves fewer than
the cap this gem guesses.

Read against the request, every page from such an endpoint looks short,
so every page looks like the last one. A walk over an endpoint serving 2
per page against a request for 100, with a total under-reporting 4 of 5,
stopped on page two with four records, nothing raised and nothing to
tell that result apart from a complete one - which is the failure the
corroboration exists to prevent, reached one page further in.

Page one is still read against the requested size, because nothing has
shown what the endpoint serves yet, so a collection smaller than a page
still stops on one request and aabe7b3 keeps what it bought. What that
leaves is an endpoint that caps lower AND under-reports AND serves
everything it has in that first short page: only a second request tells
that from a complete result, and paying for one on every small
collection is the cost reading the total is here to avoid. That is
written down rather than pinned as a spec, which would make it the
behaviour rather than the limit it is.

b651449 set out to stop a destroyed record handing out a `related`
proxy "that would happily issue requests for a record that no longer
exists - `related.articles` 404ing, `related.customer` answering from a
memo". It cleared `@related`, and `related` is `@related ||= ...`, so
the next call built a new one and every path it named went on working.
The intent was right and the record never kept it.

Clearing a memo is not refusing a reader, so the reader refuses. That
covers `record.related`, and with it `ticket.articles`, which reaches
the same proxy.

`Ticket#article` asks too. 03ea768 gave it `require_id!` on the
principle that a path needing a stored id should say so locally rather
than learn it from a 422, and named the three that already do - but
destroy leaves the id readable, so the check passes on a ticket that is
gone and the POST went out naming it. It is the fourth state-changing
path, and raise_if_destroyed! documents three.

The spec that covered this compared the proxy against the one from
before the destroy, which clearing the memo satisfied while the
behaviour it is named for was broken - so it passed throughout. It
asserts what the caller gets now, as do the three beside it.

A record built from a response copies every String of a body JSON.parse
has just built and nothing else holds, so freezing such a body in place
would save a full walk's allocations on the paging hot path. That is a
real cost and it is a standing invitation to add a second variant here,
which is what e2638ec removed: three copies of this walk, one of which
had drifted on whether it symbolized keys with nothing to say whether
the difference was deliberate.

Written down so the next reader weighing it sees the trade rather than
rediscovering half of it. If the copy is worth removing it is an
argument to this walk, applied where the caller can prove nothing else
references the value.

The test kit handed every Response the stub's own headers Hash, so all
the responses one stub serves shared it and `Response#headers` was
writable. A test bumping an x-total-count to check a walk rewrote the
stub for every later request in the example, and an assertion that
mutated headers leaked into the rest of it.

The real transport builds a fresh hash per response, and the stand-in
exists to behave like the transport, so it copies. Both freeze it:
Response is a Data, its other members are already values, and nothing in
the gem writes to a response's headers.

Two ways a proxy or url password survived the scrub on its way into a
ConfigurationError, which lands in every log and exception report.

The message may carry the value inspected rather than interpolated -
URI::InvalidURIError builds its own that way - and inspect escapes the
backslashes, quotes and control characters that are what make a URL
invalid in the first place. The escaped text no longer equals the value
as configured, so the substring swap matched nothing and redacted
nothing: `proxy: 'https://u:secret@host/a\0b'` arrived with the password
in full. Both spellings are swapped now.

The replacement was a String, whose backslash sequences gsub expands,
and the replacement here is the configured value with its userinfo
blanked - so `\0` in the value put the whole matched text back,
credentials and all, into the message it had just been taken out of, and
`\1` cut the replacement short instead. The block form takes the string
as given.

Found while writing the patch script for this branch, which had the
first bug: `String#sub` expanded a `\0` in the replacement and spliced
the method being replaced into its own comment.

sig/vendor is always on the load path here and in the types job, so
`steep check` passes even when a signature the gem ships names a Faraday
type - which is why `rbs_published` exists, and the Rakefile records
that this already happened once with nothing in the repo noticing.

`rake default` runs it and so does CI, but the release job - the last
gate before rubygems/release-gem publishes - did not, because the task
was added in 2c8d24c and this workflow was written in 0d8c059, before
there was one. A release could therefore ship signatures that fail
`rbs validate` for every consumer.

`timeout: Complex(1, 2)` raised NoMethodError for `positive?` straight
past the `rescue ZammadAPI::ConfigurationError` that building a client
is documented to need. Complex is a Numeric and answers neither
`positive?` nor `>`, so is_a?(Numeric) is not the test it reads as - the
same escape normalize_adapter, normalize_proxy and validate_logger! were
each written to close, in the one validator still spelling it by hand.

`record.fetch(:missing, 'default') { 'block' }` answered from the block
and never mentioned that the default was dropped. Hash#fetch, which this
is written to mirror - it reproduces that method's arity error one line
above - warns for exactly this call.

A method whose whole point is that a missing attribute is an error has
no business swallowing a mistyped call, which is what e4f46fd said when
it refused a third argument. Two fallbacks that cannot both have been
meant is the same mistake with a different spelling.

`server_message` fell back to `body['error_human']` and `body['error']`.
Transport#decode_body and the test kit are the only producers of a
decoded body and both parse with symbolize_names, so neither branch has
ever run, and no example in the suite covers one.

They imply a body shape nothing in the gem builds, which the next reader
has to re-derive as unreachable before changing anything here.

Client#setup builds the resource proxies eagerly, on the stated grounds
that a memo populated by the first `client.ticket` in each worker is a
write to shared state, and a contract that only holds under CRuby's GVL
is not the contract written down. Two memos underneath it were still
lazy: `related_class` and `belongs_to_foreign_keys`.

A resource declaring an association builds its proxy class at definition
time, because belongs_to and has_many both reach for it. The four that
declare none - Group, Organization, TicketState, TicketPriority - had
nothing to trigger it, so the first `group.related` in each worker built
one, and `belongs_to_foreign_keys` waited for the first attribute write
on any resource. Under JRuby or TruffleRuby two workers could each build
a different anonymous class for the same resource.

Both are populated once now, where the proxies are, so the README's
"safe to use from several threads" stops resting on the GVL.

Five passes over the 2.0 branch, each also reviewing the fixes before
it. CHANGELOG.md carries the user-facing list; this is what moved.

Records. `record.id = ...` is refused, because the id is what addresses
a record: staged, it took effect for every path that builds a URL from
the attributes and not at all for the record those paths then reported
on, so `group.id = 99; group.destroy` sent DELETE to group 99 and left
the record saying group 1 was the one destroyed. `assign_attributes`
checks every key before writing any, so a refusal leaves nothing staged
rather than half a change set, and `respond_to?` answers for the
attribute it is asked about instead of claiming a writer that would
raise. `record[:x] = 1` stages the attribute it names - it reached the
dispatch as `[]=` and was read as an attribute called `[]` whose value
was the index, and `record <= 5` invented one called `<` the same way,
so a writer is now recognised only by a plain attribute name. `destroy`
and `reload` refuse a record that was never saved, and a destroyed
record reports what Zammad last served rather than a write that never
left the process.

Transport. `require 'timeout'` and `require 'socket'`: both constants
resolved only because Faraday pulled net/http in for us. Middleware that
decodes the response body is refused when the connection is built rather
than after a request has already been sent - re-encoding was the other
way out, and `attachment.download` hands `raw_body` back as the file, so
there is nothing faithful left once a stack has consumed it. Two
spellings of one query parameter raise instead of sending whichever Hash
order put last, at any depth, and `where` refuses the same pair at the
call that wrote it.

Collections and associations. The repeated-page guard digests the
decoded payload: hashing the raw bytes looked equivalent, but an
endpoint that re-serializes a repeated page differently then never trips
the guard and the walk never ends. A `has_many` list and a collection
walk read one `Response#reported_total`. An association reads its target
through `Resources::Base.fetch_one`, the same read `ResourceProxy#find`
makes, instead of building a proxy per record.

Thread safety. The class-level memos are built under a lock with an
unlocked fast-path read. Populating them eagerly - on first use, then in
`Client#setup`, then at require time - kept shrinking the window without
closing it, and no list built ahead of time covers a resource a caller
subclasses themselves.

Test kit. Stubs decode by content-type rather than by the Ruby type of
the body, carry `content-type` on a JSON body, page a list stubbed as a
JSON string the way they page an Array, and refuse a header value the
wire could not carry or two spellings of one header name. The verb
shorthands are defined once for both transports, so the stand-in cannot
drift from the real one.

Release. The workflow checks the tag against `ZammadAPI::VERSION` and
that CHANGELOG.md has a heading for it, so a stale tag cannot publish a
gem under a version nobody tagged.

Every fix here was checked by reverting it and confirming a spec fails:
three earlier attempts were specs that passed against the unfixed code,
and one was a fix that Ruby already made for us.

Three further passes over the 2.0 branch, the last two reading Zammad's
own source rather than inferring its behaviour. CHANGELOG.md carries the
user-facing list; this is what moved.

A header Zammad has never sent. `Response#reported_total` read
`x-total-count`, and two guards were built on it: a collection walk
ended one request early on the figure, and a `has_many` reader refused a
list it judged truncated. Zammad sends that header from no endpoint and
never has - its only custom response header is `X-Failure` - so the
reader answered nil every time and both guards were dead. The one that
could have acted was the one that could have been wrong, since it ends a
walk on a figure the records do not corroborate. It, the guards and
`PaginationError.truncated` are gone, and every stop condition left in
the walk is derived from the records the endpoint actually served.
Totals are body fields in Zammad, and only where asked for, so
`Collection#count` is one request on a search - `model_search_render`
reads `only_total_count` before anything else - and a walk on an index
endpoint, which drops the parameter along with every other one it does
not know.

Collections. `find` on a collection refuses an id: it is
`Enumerable#find`, whose argument is an ifnone callable, so
`client.ticket.all.find(1)` made no request, raised nothing and answered
with an Enumerator, while the same word on a resource proxy is the
lookup. `first` and `take` size their own request rather than taking
records off the front of one sized for walking, so `all.first` no longer
downloads a page to hand back one record; sizing the request rather than
limiting the collection to a page is what keeps `first(5)` answering
with five where the endpoint pages smaller than `max_per_page` declares.
`take` refuses a nil the way `Enumerable#take` does, rather than reading
it as "just the one" and answering with a record. A collection fetches
as many records per request as the endpoint serves rather than a fixed
100, which is a tenth of the round trips on the index endpoints, and
each of those is a fresh TLS handshake under Faraday's default adapter.

Records. The constructor refuses an id, which was the one door that did
not and the only one whose value reached Zammad, since a new record is
sent in full. A reader for an attribute the record does not carry raises
rather than answering nil: a typo flowed on into whatever was written
with it, and `respond_to?` and `method` disagreed with the call
throughout. That check reads either spelling now - `respond_to?` takes a
String as readily as a Symbol, and comparing only the Symbol let a
read-only record claim the one writer it has. The attachment metadata on
an article raises ParseError when it is not a list of objects, where it
died as a bare NoMethodError from inside the gem.

Transport and test kit. The raw request methods take `headers:`, for an
endpoint that needs one; an escape hatch that cannot set a header does
not reach the endpoints it exists for. Names are compared case-
insensitively and two spellings of one header are refused rather than
merged, `Authorization` and `From` are refused outright as the client's
own, and the stand-in records what a request would have carried through
the same rules, so it cannot accept a header the wire would refuse.

Verified against Zammad's controllers: both page caps, both hardcoded
index orders, the search query keys, which resources route `/search`,
`/users/me`, `/version`, the attachment path, `expand` on create and
update, and the error status mapping all match what this gem declares.
Each fix here was checked by reverting it and confirming a spec fails.
