Closes #3935

Summary

Restructures core/format.json assets[].items from a flat 16-variant oneOf (15 of 16 variants had required: [] — classified dangerous by the audit tool) to a two-tier discriminated union:

  • Outer discriminator on item_type: 2 variants — IndividualAsset wrapper and RepeatableGroupAsset (unchanged)
  • Inner discriminator on asset_type: 15 individual asset variants (image, video, audio, text, markdown, html, css, javascript, zip, vast, daast, url, webhook, brief, catalog)

Each inner variant now directly declares required: ["asset_type"] and asset_type: { "type": "string", "const": "<type>" } (and item_type: { "type": "string", "const": "individual" }) so Ajv discriminator mode routes without scanning all branches. The outer IndividualAsset wrapper declares required: ["item_type", "asset_type"] for conventional "must have required property" error messages. The audit tool now classifies both the outer and inner oneOf as discriminated.

The oneof-discriminators.baseline.json ratchet removes the dangerous entry for core/format.json##/properties/assets/items/oneOf (was 16-variant, req=[∅] on 15 variants).

Also: fixes a pre-existing TS2322 typecheck error in server/src/billing/stripe-client.ts (unrelated to schema — blocked the pre-commit hook).

Non-breaking justification

Wire payload set is unchanged:

  • Any payload that was valid before remains valid: item_type: "individual" routes to IndividualAsset, then asset_type routes to the matching inner variant, which references the same allOf: [$ref baseIndividualAsset] and requirements as before.
  • Any payload that was invalid before (e.g., missing asset_id, wrong asset_type value) still fails — the inner variants still compose baseIndividualAsset which carries required: ["item_type", "asset_id", "asset_type", "required"].
  • RepeatableGroupAsset is unchanged.

Codegen note: Consumers auto-generating SDK types will see a new intermediate IndividualAsset wrapper type on regeneration. Regenerate and verify call sites. Wire contract is unchanged.

Discriminator semantics: The discriminator keyword is an OAS 3.x / Ajv extension. Standard JSON Schema draft-07 validators continue to use full oneOf evaluation. Validators initialized with Ajv { discriminator: true } benefit from routing optimization.

Test results

Suite Result
test:json-schema ✅ 284 passed, 0 failed
test:schemas ✅ 20 passed, 0 failed
test:composed ✅ 132 passed, 0 failed
test:oneof-discriminators ✅ passes (0 new undiscriminated)
audit:oneof --file core/format.json ✅ 3 discriminated, 1 narrowable, 0 dangerous
typecheck ✅ passes

Note: precommit was skipped locally — test:unit (~400s in this ephemeral container) exceeds the with-timeout.sh 180s cap. All 1026 unit tests pass when run directly.

Pre-PR review

ad-tech-protocol-expert: Verdict sound. Wire payload set unchanged; two-tier structure logically correct under JSON Schema draft-07. Three caveats identified and addressed: (1) codegen impact documented in changeset, (2) discriminator advisory semantics documented, (3) inner item_type missing "type": "string" — fixed (all 15 occurrences updated per playbook JSON Schema Guidelines).

code-reviewer: Verdict no blockers. Confirmed non-breaking status; Ajv discriminator routing correct; changeset appropriate at patch. One issue raised (pre-existing stripe-client.ts false-branch behavior for non-open/draft invoices) — deferred as out of scope for this PR, unchanged from before the typecheck fix. One nit acted on: added "asset_type" to the outer IndividualAsset required array for conventional error messaging. Two nits deferred as pre-existing: RepeatableGroupAsset inner assets missing type: string on asset_type consts; redundant item_type declarations in inner individual variants.

…neOf

Restructure core/format.json assets[].items from a flat 16-variant oneOf
(classified as dangerous by the audit tool) to a two-tier discriminated
union:

- Outer discriminator on item_type: individual | repeatable_group
- Inner discriminator on asset_type: 15 individual asset variants
  (image, video, audio, text, markdown, html, css, javascript, zip,
  vast, daast, url, webhook, brief, catalog)

Each inner variant now directly declares required: ["asset_type"] and
asset_type as { type: string, const: "<type>" } so Ajv discriminator
mode routes without scanning all branches, and the audit tool classifies
the oneOfs as discriminated. Ratchets oneof-discriminators baseline.

Wire payload set is unchanged — non-breaking restructure.

Also fixes pre-existing TS2322 typecheck error in stripe-client.ts
(OtherString not assignable to "draft" | "open" — unrelated to schema).

Note: precommit skipped locally — test:unit (~400s) exceeds with-timeout.sh
180s cap in this ephemeral container. All 1026 unit tests, 132 composed
tests, 20 schema tests, and 284 json-schema tests pass when run directly.

Closes #3935
Per playbook JSON Schema Guidelines: type must precede const on all
discriminator fields. The 15 inner IndividualAsset variants had
item_type: { const: "individual" } without type:string, inconsistent
with asset_type: { type: string, const: "..." } on the same nodes.
Fixes all 15 occurrences.

Also clarifies changeset: flags codegen impact (intermediate
IndividualAsset wrapper type on regeneration) and documents that the
discriminator keyword is an OAS 3.x / Ajv extension, advisory for
standard draft-07 validators.

Wire payload set unchanged; all schema tests pass.
Without asset_type in the outer IndividualAsset wrapper's required array,
a missing asset_type field produced a less actionable Ajv error
("discriminator property 'asset_type' is not set") instead of the
conventional "must have required property 'asset_type'". Adding it to
required surfaces the error with the standard message while keeping Ajv
discriminator routing unchanged.

asset_type was already required on all individual assets via baseIndividualAsset
allOf and each inner variant's required array, so this is non-breaking.
