refactor(stack): remove the as-never forwarding casts in createEncryptionClient - #996
Conversation
…tionClient createEncryptionClient built the typed EncryptionClient<S> by forwarding to the native client through 12 type-erasing as-never casts. They hid a real gap: v3 PlaintextForColumn includes the types.Json document, which the operations' Plaintext input (built on the FFI's JsPlaintext) cannot express. - Operation constructors accept PlaintextInput (Plaintext | JsonDocument); the single remaining plaintext assertion is toJsPlaintext at the FFI call, replacing six scattered as-JsPlaintext sites. - Native encryptQuery takes an EncryptQueryArgs tuple union, so a scalar without options no longer type-checks, and the wrapper forwards unchanged. - Model-encrypt results narrow to V3EncryptedModel with one visible, documented assertion each instead of a hidden cast. - Comments rewritten so they claim only what the types actually check. Closes #637

Recommendation: 🟢 merge as it is (1 of 4 review job(s) failed)
Nothing must change before merge. The PR changes no runtime behaviour, the forwarding casts are gone, and CI passed after the merge from main. Two items can wait for a follow-up: a live test for a types.Json document with null array elements, and an existing type gap where encrypt(null) on a types.Json column is typed Encrypted. The other four comments are optional: they correct two comments that claim too much, and add type tests for the new type claims.
No source finding was dropped. One source asked for its two test findings before merge. These comments mark them as a follow-up and optional, because the runtime did not change and tsc on src already checks the forwarding.

…ext may be null
encrypt(null, …) on a types.Json column resolved to { data: null } at runtime but was typed Encrypted, so result.data.c compiled and threw. encrypt is now generic over the plaintext type and its data is EncryptResult<P> = Encrypted | (null & P): a possibly-null value gives Encrypted | null, a non-null value or any scalar column still gives Encrypted. The intersection form, not a conditional type, keeps expect-type's toBeCallableWith working. No runtime change.
The stricter type caught a latent bug in stack-supabase: the per-term query-encryption fallback sent a null envelope as the filter operand "null". It now rejects it, matching the bulk path.
Also corrects the stash-encryption skill, which said every encrypt plaintext must be non-null.
…iling Making EncryptionClient.encrypt generic over the plaintext added a third type parameter with no default, so a caller naming the existing two (client.encrypt<T, C>(...)) failed with TS2558. P now defaults to the column's plaintext type, which types the result from the column: Encrypted | null for a types.Json column, Encrypted otherwise. Inference from the argument is unchanged. Also corrects the operation-classes changeset, which still said the EncryptionClient interface was unchanged. Refs #637
…sult type EncryptionClient.encrypt now types a nullable Json result as Encrypted | null, so code reading result.data without a null check stops compiling, and EncryptResult is a new export. That is a public type change, not a patch. Refs #637

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Publish the widened operation type as a major release.
EncryptOperation.getOperation().plaintext changed from Plaintext | null to PlaintextInput | null. PlaintextInput includes JSON documents, including arrays containing null, so existing consumers that assign this value to Plaintext | null no longer compile. The available @cipherstash/stack changesets are only patch and minor releases.

Summary
The encryption client in
@cipherstash/stack(the objectEncryption({ schemas })returns) gives each method precise per-column types, but internally it was built by forwarding every call to a loosely typed inner client through 12as nevercasts. A cast like that switches the type checker off, so a mistake in the forwarding would have compiled silently. This PR removes those casts.Removing them exposed two type gaps, and this PR closes both. First, a
types.Jsoncolumn accepts a JSON document whose arrays can containnull, but the input type declared by the native module (@cipherstash/protect-ffi, the Rust core that does the encryption) does not allow that, even though the module accepts it. Second,encrypt(null)on a Json column has always resolved to{ data: null }at runtime (stored as SQL NULL), but was typedEncrypted, soresult.data.ccompiled and then threw. Nothing changes at runtime in@cipherstash/stack.Changes

Review notes
as neverforwarding casts in createEncryptionClient #637. Fixing theencrypt(null)typing (raised in review) changed the publicEncryptionClient.encryptresult type, added theEncryptResultexport and touched stack-supabase.
