A characterization test is simple: before touching anything, feed the old function a table of inputs (good token, expired token, wrong tenant, revoked, suspended tenant, identity provider down, and so on) and record exactly what comes out, including what ends up in the cache. Then run the same table against the new code. If both agree on every row, the \"no behavior change\" promise is proven rather than hoped. The question is how wide the table is, and whether you also want a live safety net in production.\nStakes if we pick wrong: Too narrow: a tenant-isolation or revocation regression ships and you learn about it from a customer. Too wide: a day of test writing for a human team, though minutes with CC.\nRecommendation: A because this is auth for multiple tenants, every row in the matrix is a real production input, and the whole suite is ~20 table rows that CC writes in minutes; shadow-compare (C) is a good add only if you have traffic diversity the matrix cannot enumerate.\nCompleteness: A=10/10, B=7/10, C=10/10\nPros / cons:\nA) Full characterization suite across the whole input matrix, captured before the rewrite (recommended) (human: ~1.5 days / CC: ~30 min)\n \u2705 Proves \"no behavior change\" row by row, including cache state and IDP call counts, and doubles as the permanent regression suite\n \u2705 Any pre-existing fail-open in legacy is discovered before the rewrite, not after\n \u274c Requires a small test double for the IDP and adapter to make every row deterministic\nB) Reduced matrix: happy path, expired token, policy deny, one IDP failure\n \u2705 Fast to write and covers the four most common outcomes\n \u2705 Still proves the main flow survived the rewrite\n \u274c Cross-tenant, revocation, suspension and concurrency rows are exactly where multi-tenant auth breaks, and they are untested\nC) Full characterization suite plus a flagged production shadow-compare for one release (human: ~3 days / CC: ~1.5 h)\n \u2705 Catches input shapes no one thought to put in the table, with real traffic\n \u2705 Fully reversible: the flag removes the shadow path with no code change\n \u274c Doubles IDP load while the shadow runs and adds a temporary code path that must be removed later\nNet: a complete, cheap, permanent proof versus a quicker partial one; shadow-compare buys real-traffic coverage at the cost of temporary ops complexity.\nHeader: Regression\nOptions:\nA) Full characterization suite (recommended)\nCapture legacyAuthFlow()'s observable behavior across the full input matrix before the rewrite; run the same suite against the new code; delete legacy only when both pass.\nB) Reduced characterization matrix\nSame mechanism, four rows: valid, expired, policy deny, IDP timeout.\nC) Full suite + production shadow-compare\nOption A plus a flagged shadow path that runs both implementations and logs diffs for one release.\nActual answer: **A \u2014 Full characterization suite** (D9 answer).\nAccepted scope: before any rewrite commit, capture `legacyAuthFlow()`'s observable behavior (outcome, cache state after, IDP calls made, invalidation effects) across the full input matrix listed in the grid, using deterministic test doubles for the IDP and the adapter. Replay the identical suite against `AuthBroker.validateAndDispatch()` + `SessionMint`. `legacyAuthFlow()` is deleted only when both pass identically. Intentional differences: none in structural commits; the D4 perf commit may change which IDP error surfaces first when 2+ calls fail, asserted as an accepted difference. If characterization reveals a fail-open in legacy, stop and open a new decision (see R3).\nHistory: original proposal had no regression coverage (`PLAN.md:35-36`, `:23-24`).\nState: approved\n\n## Implementation Tasks\n\n- [ ] **T1 (P1, human: ~1.5 days / CC: ~30 min)** \u2014 tests/auth \u2014 Capture `legacyAuthFlow()` characterization suite (full matrix, IDP + adapter doubles) before any rewrite\n - Surfaced by: Test review \u2014 T1 / R4 (D9 \u2192 A)\n - Files: tests/auth/legacyCharacterization.test.*, tests/auth/doubles/{idp,adapter}.*\n - Verify: suite green against legacy; every matrix row present (15 rows listed in R4 grid)\n- [ ] **T6 (P1, human: ~half day / CC: ~10 min)** \u2014 tests/auth \u2014 Replay the characterization suite against `AuthBroker` + `SessionMint`; delete `legacyAuthFlow()` only when identical\n - Surfaced by: Test review \u2014 T1 / R4 (D9 \u2192 A)\n - Files: tests/auth/legacyCharacterization.test.* (target switch), legacy module removal\n - Verify: identical outcomes on every row; if legacy fails open anywhere, STOP and open a decision\n", "extraction": "Exact R4 record and exact T1/T6 task bodies with owned ancestor headings; native calls and ACKs unchanged.
