Summary

  • Add a third managed plugin that intentionally collides with Plugin A's Lua export, preserving A/B as the positive coexistence pair.
  • Add opt-in target observation and retained-owner probe commands, with CapabilityUnavailable recorded as a blocker for the current Client/SDK 1.0.0 tuple.
  • Prepare fresh disjoint plugin closures, validate runtime/native dependency assets and hashes, and emit an explicit BuildPrepared_NotLiveQualified receipt.
  • Document controlled-host assertions, package/source boundaries, exact blockers, and the follow-up protocol.

Validation

  • dotnet restore CheatEngine.Client.slnx --locked-mode
  • dotnet build CheatEngine.Client.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore --no-incremental --disable-build-servers — 0 warnings, 0 errors
  • dotnet test --solution CheatEngine.Client.slnx --configuration Release --no-build --no-restore — 553 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
  • pwsh .\eng\Invoke-LivePluginCoexistenceFixture.ps1 -Build — three isolated 31-file bundles and build-only receipt
  • Native AOT probe published and executed for win-x64
  • dotnet pack CheatEngine.Client.slnx --configuration Release --no-build --no-restore
  • pwsh .\eng\Invoke-PackageSmoke.ps1 -PackageSource .\artifacts\packages
  • Engineering manifest validator and 6 Python validator tests

Qualification status

Follow-up to #49 and #28. No controlled Cheat Engine 7.7 x64 host or authorised disposable targets were available for this task, so this PR provides preparation and reproducible build/package-layout evidence only. It does not claim a live coexistence, collision, target-switch, retained-owner, or side-by-side SDK qualification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a three-plugin coexistence fixture covering independent plugins and intentional Lua-export collisions.
    • Added optional fixture building or validation with isolated bundles, dependency checks, package-version selection, and versioned receipts.
    • Added diagnostics for plugin lifecycle, target observation, ownership retention, release, and failure outcomes.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded guidance for preparing coexistence fixtures, validating collision behavior, and distinguishing prepared evidence from live qualification.
    • Documented plugin-specific exports, setup requirements, and expected lifecycle behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added the collision plugin project and coverage for collision, ownership, and target-observation scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a collision plugin to the coexistence fixture, extends lifecycle and ownership diagnostics, adds isolated bundle preparation with receipts, and documents preparation results and remaining live-qualification requirements.

Changes

Coexistence fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bundle preparation and deployment validation
eng/Invoke-LivePluginCoexistenceFixture.ps1
The runner builds or validates three isolated bundles, checks deployment assets and SDK versions, records hashes, and writes a preparation receipt.
Client lifecycle and ownership diagnostics
tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/CoexistenceDiagnostics.cs, tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/PluginA/*, tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/PluginB/*
The fixture records client activation and disabling, target observations, retained allocation ownership, release behavior, and Lua-exported diagnostic results.
Collision plugin and project integration
tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/CoexistencePlugin.props, tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/PluginCollision/*, CheatEngine.Client.slnx
The solution includes a new collision project. The project registers plugin, client, and Lua modules and exposes the collision marker. Shared properties support configurable SDK versions and deployment output.
Fixture protocol and qualification records
tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/README.md, tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/PluginA/README.md, tests/CheatEngine.Client.LivePlugin.Coexistence/PluginB/README.md, docs/engineering/work-items/CLI-012.md
Documentation describes collision, lifecycle, target-switch, receipt, and host-evidence checks. The work item records preparation-only results and remaining qualification blockers.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 23942

Validation-only receipts can incorrectly attest an arbitrary bundle's SDK provenance, undermining qualification evidence. A concurrent retained-owner probe can also fail instead of reporting its diagnostic result. Resolve these issues before relying on the fixture output.

Do not attribute workspace restore metadata to an existing bundle.

In validation-only mode, Get-ResolvedSdkPackage reads the version and sha512 from the workspace project.assets.json. The function checks that version against the requested version, but it does not match that package to the supplied bundle's CheatEngine.SDK.dll. A different bundle that passes the layout checks can therefore receive unrelated package provenance. Match the supplied DLL to an approved package, or mark SdkPackage as unverified in validation-only mode.

Use the CompareExchange result for the losing path.

If ReleaseOwner or RecordDisabling clears s_retainedOwner after the failed CompareExchange, the later Volatile.Read can return null. DescribeOwner then throws NullReferenceException.

Proposed fix
-		if (Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref s_retainedOwner, owner, null) is null)
+		ITargetMemoryLease? retained = Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref s_retainedOwner, owner, null);
+		if (retained is null)
