# Historical web network captures
|
|
|
|
Use `inspect_web_network_capture` / `inspect-web-network-capture` to inspect
|
|
retained producer evidence. This is an offline operation: recorded URLs are
|
|
never fetched, and no browser or proxy listener is started.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/session.har har --json
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/session.har har --record 2 --record 0 --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "inspect_web_network_capture",
|
|
"arguments": {
|
|
"capture_path": "/absolute/session.har",
|
|
"format": "har",
|
|
"record_ordinals": [2, 0]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Omit ordinals to return every record. Explicit selection preserves caller order
|
|
and original zero-based producer ordinals; duplicate or out-of-range selections
|
|
are input errors. Every record is validated before selection, so selecting one
|
|
entry does not hide a malformed entry elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
For agent discovery over MCP, request `detail: "summary"`. REA retains the
|
|
complete selected Evidence in the session and returns identity and counts.
|
|
Use `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` with `inspect_analysis_view`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"source": {
|
|
"kind": "retained-evidence",
|
|
"evidence_id": "<parent_evidence_id>"
|
|
},
|
|
"view": { "kind": "capture", "detail": "preview", "offset": 0, "limit": 20 }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Preview pages select recorded HTTP headline fields, event names/times when
|
|
present, original locations and byte descriptors; they omit headers, XML and
|
|
payload content. Choose `detail: "complete"` in that view for exact record
|
|
pages, including all sidecars. Offsets follow the parent's selected record
|
|
order; producer ordinals remain unchanged. `total_records` counts the original
|
|
capture while `retained_records` and page coverage count records in the parent.
|
|
An exhausted page does not establish absence from unselected records.
|
|
|
|
Views do not reopen the file or rerun its decoder. They remain historical
|
|
Evidence if the source changes or disappears; inspect the capture again to
|
|
observe new bytes. The inspection tool's default `detail: "complete"` preserves
|
|
existing inline delivery. For CLI use, save complete inspection JSON and pass
|
|
it as inline Evidence to `inspect-analysis-view`; the same summary and capture
|
|
page contracts apply. Large complete records can still exceed MCP's response
|
|
budget; export the retained Evidence when a single record cannot fit.
|
|
|
|
If decoding completes before cancellation or private-root cleanup fails, the
|
|
failure retains the completed capture as Evidence with the requested record
|
|
selection and explicit sensitivity exclusions. Earlier decode failures remain
|
|
primary. Failed cleanup stays linked to its exact owner, including through
|
|
redaction, and its live status clears only after a confirmed retry.
|
|
|
|
## Formats and upstream profiles
|
|
|
|
HAR uses unchanged `har-schema@2.0.0` draft-06 schemas, `ajv@8.20.0`,
|
|
`ajv-formats@3.0.1`, `jsonc-parser@3.3.1` JSON visitor, and
|
|
`lossless-json@4.3.1` numeric representations, pinned in the npm lockfile.
|
|
Only the HAR 1.2 profile is supported. Unknown extensions remain reported
|
|
evidence. Duplicate object keys, including equal values and escaped spellings,
|
|
are rejected before materialization. Prototype-named members such as
|
|
`__proto__` are preserved as ordinary own JSON members without prototype
|
|
mutation. Original capture files remain unchanged.
|
|
The observed mitmproxy 12.2.3 `SaveHar` profile can emit `postData.text: null`
|
|
for a missing request body. REA preserves that reported null, omitting the
|
|
optional field only from its validation copy for this exact producer profile;
|
|
it does not invent an empty string or body bytes.
|
|
The observed Playwright 1.58.2 profile can report a bracketed IPv6
|
|
`serverIPAddress`, forwarded from Chromium's `remoteIPAddress` through
|
|
[Playwright's HAR tracer](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v1.58.2/packages/playwright-core/src/server/har/harTracer.ts).
|
|
REA preserves the original spelling in reported Evidence and removes brackets
|
|
only from its validation copy, only for this declared producer and a valid IPv6
|
|
literal. Invalid addresses, bracketed IPv4, ports and zone identifiers remain
|
|
validation failures. Producer declarations do not authenticate origin.
|
|
|
|
Native mitmproxy decoding requires a caller-supplied **mitmdump 12.2.3 on
|
|
Linux**. Set its absolute executable path:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
REA_MITMDUMP_COMMAND=/absolute/mitmdump rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/session.mitm mitmproxy --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
REA does not install mitmproxy. Its owned process uses a private configuration
|
|
directory, `--no-server`, and the unchanged upstream `mitmproxy.io.tnetstring`
|
|
decoder. It does not run `FlowReader` migrations or convert native states to
|
|
HAR. Raw IDs, state versions, flow types, backup states and unknown extensions
|
|
are preserved without synthesizing connections, timestamps or content. The
|
|
tested upstream source is tag `v12.2.3`, commit
|
|
`6c09d56e4c29a92f5ad01b03199977584b8ea14f`; other native tool versions return
|
|
an explicit unsupported-profile diagnostic. Non-Linux native decoding is not
|
|
supported by this adapter.
|
|
|
|
## Reading Fiddler captures (`.saz`)
|
|
|
|
Fiddler Everywhere saves traffic in **Session Archive Zip (`.saz`)** files.
|
|
Inspect native SAZ directly, without installing Fiddler or converting to HAR:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/session.saz saz --json
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/session.saz saz --record 0 --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
MCP uses the same `capture_path`, `format: "saz"`, and optional
|
|
`record_ordinals` fields as the examples above. REA pairs `raw/<id>_c.txt`
|
|
requests, `_s.txt` responses, and `_m.xml` metadata by filename stem. Archive
|
|
member names identify the source; zero-based ordinals follow each session's
|
|
first member in ZIP directory order, not its numeric ID or capture time.
|
|
|
|
HTTP fields and ordered duplicate headers are retained, with stored body bytes
|
|
in binary sidecars. Bodies are not dechunked or decompressed. Metadata is an
|
|
XML node tree; optional `_w.txt` and `_g.txt` files retain opaque WebSocket and
|
|
gRPC message bytes. Missing members remain null, distinct from empty bodies.
|
|
See Telerik's [SAZ format reference](https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-everywhere/documentation/knowledge-base/fiddler-archives).
|
|
|
|
## Protobuf and gRPC bodies
|
|
|
|
Selecting `record_ordinals` (CLI `--record`) also decodes retained bodies with
|
|
recognized protobuf or gRPC content types. Whole-capture inspection does not
|
|
perform this extra work. The original binary sidecar, SHA-256 and producer
|
|
ordinal remain the source; decoding adds flat body, frame and field facts.
|
|
|
|
Native gRPC admits only data-frame flags 0/1; gRPC-web additionally admits its
|
|
terminal trailer frame. `grpc-web-text` supports independently padded base64
|
|
chunks. Its offsets refer to **base64-decoded body bytes**; other offsets refer
|
|
to retained body bytes. Every field has a body-scoped `field_id` derived from
|
|
its byte offset, a `frame_index`, and a `parent_field_id` for schema-driven
|
|
nested messages or groups. Repeated field numbers remain separate occurrences.
|
|
|
|
Without a schema, varints and fixed-width values retain exact unsigned decimal
|
|
representations. Length-delimited UTF-8, nested-message and packed readings
|
|
are candidates; REA does not choose one or invent field names or signedness.
|
|
Nested candidate ranges remain accessible without recursively expanding them.
|
|
Malformed messages retain the parsed prefix and an exact error offset.
|
|
Compressed frames and encoded HTTP bodies remain unknown; they are not
|
|
silently treated as empty messages.
|
|
|
|
For schema interpretation, supply a local compiled `FileDescriptorSet` and its
|
|
fully qualified message type. All imports must be included. REA never fetches
|
|
schemas or executes the selected application. Descriptor identity and parser
|
|
version remain in the body facts. Scalars, repeated numeric packing and nested
|
|
messages are interpreted alongside the unchanged wire facts; disagreements
|
|
remain explicit. Map semantics, extensions and required-field validation are
|
|
unsupported. A supplied schema does not establish the sender's actual schema.
|
|
An invalid nested interpretation records `schema_status: "invalid-message"`
|
|
and `schema_error` locally; later outer fields remain available. Valid string
|
|
contents, including a leading U+FEFF, are preserved.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Compile your own schema with your existing protoc, including local imports:
|
|
protoc --include_imports --descriptor_set_out=/evidence/api.pb api.proto
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /evidence/session.har har --record 3 \
|
|
--protobuf-schema /evidence/api.pb --protobuf-message example.Response \
|
|
--detail summary --evidence_output /evidence/session-evidence.json --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
MCP accepts the same choices as `protobuf: {schema: {descriptor_set_path:
|
|
"/evidence/api.pb", message_type: "example.Response"}}`, with explicit
|
|
`record_ordinals`. Optional `body_pointers` batch-select exact binary pointers;
|
|
`framing` can explicitly select `raw`, `grpc`, `grpc-web` or `grpc-web-text`
|
|
when MIME metadata is unavailable. CLI exposes `--protobuf-body-pointer` and
|
|
`--protobuf-framing`. Filters never invent bytes excluded by source redaction. Decoding an extra
|
|
base64 layer also checks explicit exclusions; newly recognized trailer
|
|
credentials exclude the entire affected binary sidecar and its reported
|
|
encoding, preserving a redaction coordinate instead of a credential digest.
|
|
Credential inspection covers every selected body before descriptor reads or
|
|
field expansion. Later capacity or schema failures can therefore retain the
|
|
sanitized source even with explicit sensitivity options. If that source pass
|
|
is interrupted, unchecked bodies are not published as partial Evidence.
|
|
Framing overrides apply only to format-owned body coordinates and preserve
|
|
exclusions for the transport declared in MIME metadata.
|
|
Explicitly excluded or conflicting MIME metadata is not treated as absent:
|
|
automatic framing leaves such a non-empty body uninterpreted, adds a record
|
|
limitation and keeps `protobuf_coverage` partial unless `framing` is selected.
|
|
Unknown or explicitly excluded HTTP coding metadata is not treated as absent:
|
|
SAZ/native bodies remain opaque until identity coding is established. Raw
|
|
header values and retained body bytes remain available in source Evidence.
|
|
Skipping wire analysis still runs the independent credential check. If HTTP
|
|
coding metadata is unavailable and that check cannot complete, the operation
|
|
returns unavailable without publishing unchecked capture bodies as Evidence.
|
|
|
|
Use `detail: "summary"`, then `inspect_analysis_view` with its retained parent:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"kind":"protobuf","collection":"bodies","offset":0,"limit":16}
|
|
{"kind":"protobuf","collection":"frames","record_ordinals":[3],"offset":0,"limit":16}
|
|
{"kind":"protobuf","collection":"fields","record_ordinals":[3],"field_numbers":[1,4],"fields":["number","schema_name","schema_value"],"offset":0,"limit":32}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Filters intersect; an empty filter selects nothing. Field pages also accept
|
|
`field_ids`, `frame_indices` and `schema_names`. Default field pages omit `text`,
|
|
`schema_value` and enum alias inventories; select these columns when needed. Identity, source offset
|
|
basis and body status survive column selection. Complete Evidence retains
|
|
all decoded values, and ordinary capture previews expose counts. Page exhaustion
|
|
covers retained facts only; a partial source does not establish absence.
|
|
|
|
Authenticated immutable parents reuse validation and the most recent field
|
|
filter per capture. These caches live only with retained Evidence, hold references
|
|
to existing facts and never reopen either file. Cached selector text is bounded
|
|
by retained field cardinality; larger selections use an uncached scan. Mutable
|
|
input is revalidated.
|
|
The existing 96 MiB report budget includes the original decoder reply plus
|
|
conservative charges for new facts, strings and descriptor expansion. The explicit
|
|
`protobuf_coverage` reports selected and inspected record counts, preserving
|
|
partial decoding through composed views. Capacity failure retains the source
|
|
observation as partial Evidence; cancellation yields
|
|
between bounded work batches. Real elapsed time and process-family memory
|
|
still depend on the selected capture and schema.
|
|
|
|
## Fiddler Everywhere MCP and public skills
|
|
|
|
For agent-driven traffic debugging, connect Everywhere's MCP server separately
|
|
from REA. Run a current Everywhere release with MCP access (Trial, Pro, or
|
|
higher), internet access, and a compatible MCP client. Use
|
|
**Settings > MCP Server > Coding agent**, or **Manual setup** with the generated
|
|
API key. The default endpoint is `http://localhost:8868/mcp`. See Telerik's
|
|
[MCP setup guide](https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-everywhere/documentation/agent-tools/fiddler-mcp-server)
|
|
and [agent-skills prerequisites](https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-everywhere/documentation/agent-tools/agent-skills).
|
|
|
|
Telerik's [public skills](https://github.com/telerik/fiddler-agent-tools) cover
|
|
installation (`fiddler-download-setup`), connection setup, and traffic analysis:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npx skills add telerik/fiddler-agent-tools --skill fiddler-mcp-setup
|
|
npx skills add telerik/fiddler-agent-tools --skill fiddler-traffic-debugging
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After setup, reload the agent client and use the connected server's advertised
|
|
tool names and schemas. Check status, list sessions, then inspect relevant
|
|
session IDs. Set `sessionsSource` to `LiveTraffic` for HTTP(S) traffic or
|
|
`AgentCalls` for enriched LLM calls; active filters affect the session list.
|
|
For an existing run, skip the skill's pre-capture steps that replace process
|
|
filters and clear sessions. The documented MCP session sources do not provide
|
|
a saved-snapshot selector; use the SAZ workflow above for saved files. REA does
|
|
not register or wrap the Fiddler MCP server.
|
|
|
|
## Reading the evidence
|
|
|
|
- `artifact` identifies the caller-selected file and stable snapshot digest.
|
|
- `records` preserve producer order/ordinals and original JSON pointers, byte
|
|
ranges, or SAZ member names. No live browser transaction or scenario IDs are invented.
|
|
- `reported` retains the producer's fields. HAR container metadata is returned
|
|
separately, with `log.entries` replaced by `null` and `records_pointer`
|
|
identifying the record collection. This is an inspection representation,
|
|
not a reconstructed HAR file.
|
|
- `numeric_literals` preserve HAR number lexemes and native integer/float
|
|
representations, including unsafe integers and non-finite native floats.
|
|
Values that cannot be safely represented as JSON numbers are `null` in the
|
|
reported view. Unsafe standard HAR numeric fields fail schema validation;
|
|
unsafe extension numbers remain available through their sidecars.
|
|
- `binary_fields` retain exposed bytes, base64 and SHA-256 independently of
|
|
declared sizes. Valid HAR `content.encoding: "base64"` is decoded exactly;
|
|
producer-decoded Unicode text, missing text and unknown encodings do not
|
|
establish original body bytes. Post-data parameters do not reconstruct a
|
|
multipart body. Native byte fields also have an exact UTF-8 display view
|
|
when valid; binary sidecars establish their actual representation. Native
|
|
missing content and empty content remain distinct.
|
|
- `redactions` identify known transport authentication exclusions and explicit
|
|
sensitive-value exclusions. Redacted byte fields retain neither original
|
|
bytes nor their digest. Unknown extension names and token-looking query
|
|
parameters do not establish sensitivity.
|
|
|
|
Mark sensitive literal string/UTF-8 byte values with MCP `sensitive_values`, or
|
|
repeat CLI `--sensitive-value`. These declarations are never persisted in
|
|
Evidence parameters; the count is retained. Explicit text/UTF-8 byte matches
|
|
exclude the entire field with a reported `null` rather than substitute a text
|
|
marker or rewrite payload bytes. This prevents replacement markers from
|
|
reintroducing declared literals. The file digest identifies the original artifact
|
|
unless it matches an explicit declaration; in that case `artifact.sha256` and
|
|
Evidence `subject` are null with an explanation. A sensitive property name excludes that
|
|
entire property and its sidecars; a `scope: "property-name"` redaction points
|
|
to its actual parent. No substitute property name or child pointer is invented.
|
|
Omitted subtrees are still validated, including canonical HAR base64. Explicitly sensitive artifact
|
|
paths are empty in Evidence and omitted from locations, while the original
|
|
SHA-256 and size remain available unless the digest itself is explicitly excluded. Failure messages, diagnostics and cleanup
|
|
resources follow the same explicit declarations without changing error types;
|
|
sensitive issue pointers identify a real ancestor instead of a fabricated
|
|
coordinate. Header/cookie authentication values and known
|
|
transport URL userinfo are excluded structurally, including native backups.
|
|
HAR redaction and API-surface projection share the same recorded-URL parser.
|
|
Canonical userinfo spans are removed without rewriting the remaining source
|
|
text. Credential-bearing spellings without a safe raw span, such as slashless
|
|
or extra-slash HTTP URLs, are excluded as a whole transport field. Ordinary
|
|
extension text and noncredential path/query values remain unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Generated free-text limitations follow the same literal declarations, including
|
|
global, per-record and Evidence explanations added during projection. Contract
|
|
field names, typed discriminators and exact decoder identities keep their
|
|
canonical meanings; declarations do not rename formats or providers.
|
|
|
|
Historical evidence does not prove runtime attribution, execution or deployment
|
|
authenticity. Mitmproxy messages are upstream-assembled messages, not recovered
|
|
wire fragments. Native dictionary duplicate keys have the unchanged upstream
|
|
decoder's last-value semantics; this adapter does not claim to recover discarded
|
|
duplicates or the original numeric spelling of parsed native floats.
|
|
|
|
## Derived API surface
|
|
|
|
Pass retained HAR Evidence to `inspect_analysis_view` with
|
|
`view: {"kind":"api-surface","offset":0,"limit":50}`. Omitted offset and limit
|
|
are 0 and 50. The view groups request lines by method, WHATWG URL origin and
|
|
path template, sorted by origin, template and method. Query strings, fragments,
|
|
credentials, headers and bodies are not copied into groups.
|
|
|
|
Select `include_query_parameter_names: true` in the view to include distinct
|
|
observed query names per group. The default and explicit `false` omit the
|
|
`query_parameter_names` field. Selected groups include an array of
|
|
`{name, record_ordinals}` entries, sorted by Unicode code point; each name's
|
|
ordinals follow the parent's selected record order and occur once per record.
|
|
For `/products?category=books&page=1` and
|
|
`/products?category=games&sort=price`, names are `category`, `page` and `sort`.
|
|
Query values and fragments are not copied into this inventory.
|
|
|
|
Names use WHATWG `URLSearchParams` form-query decoding: literal `+` becomes
|
|
space, `%2B` becomes `+`, percent escapes decode as UTF-8, and empty names are
|
|
retained. Empty query pairs are ignored. Original URLs stay in parent Evidence;
|
|
name decoding does not normalize the recorded paths used for grouping.
|
|
The inventory describes observed names, without inferring required parameters,
|
|
value types or a complete API schema. Sensitive-parent refusals still apply.
|
|
|
|
| Rule | Exact segment format | Placeholder |
|
|
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
|
|
| `numeric` | ASCII digits only | `{numeric}` |
|
|
| `uuid` | RFC 9562 textual UUID, any version, case-insensitive | `{uuid}` |
|
|
| `hex` | At least 32 hexadecimal digits | `{hex}` |
|
|
| `iso-date` | Valid calendar date `YYYY-MM-DD` | `{iso-date}` |
|
|
|
|
Rules apply in table order to the recorded, still-encoded request path, read
|
|
before WHATWG dot-segment removal, so `/a/%2e%2e/admin` and `/admin` stay distinct. Segment indexes start
|
|
at zero after the leading slash. Each matched segment lists its observed literals
|
|
and `basis: "inferred"`. `templated_groups` counts templated groups across every
|
|
page. Because paging follows the full grouping, every page is inferred Evidence
|
|
when that count is nonzero, and derived Evidence only when no group was templated. Version prefixes, short opaque IDs
|
|
and digit-bearing route names stay literal. Samples merge only when method,
|
|
origin, and exact segment rules match. The view does not infer further
|
|
cross-sample patterns.
|
|
|
|
Groups cite parent record ordinals and distinct statuses and MIME types (lowercase
|
|
type/subtype without parameters). An invalid type/subtype essence is unknown;
|
|
parameters do not affect this projection. Flags report single samples, mixed
|
|
statuses or mixed content types.
|
|
`coverage` pages groups; `records` separately reports examined, total and excluded
|
|
parent records. Ordinal subsets carry a limitation. Null URLs are excluded as
|
|
`url-redacted`; unparseable URLs, URLs without an origin, spellings without
|
|
`scheme://authority` (such as `https:host/path`), and authorities containing a
|
|
tab or newline as `url-unparseable`.
|
|
Unavailable request objects or methods are explicitly excluded. Unavailable
|
|
response fields, including HAR's `status: 0` and an empty `mimeType`, remain
|
|
unknown, not invented statuses or MIME types.
|
|
|
|
The view makes no handler-identity, schema or causality claim. It performs no
|
|
network activity. Native mitmproxy, SAZ and qlog captures return a typed unsupported error.
|
|
Parents inspected with `sensitive_values`, or whose Evidence does not record
|
|
`sensitive_value_count`, return a typed unsupported error whose reason is the
|
|
canonical token `sensitive_values_unretained`. The view would write path
|
|
templates and limitation text that it cannot check against declarations the
|
|
parent does not retain, so the refusal does not repeat declaration text.
|
|
|
|
One accumulator owns group identity, observed-value/status/MIME sets, ordinals,
|
|
exclusions and deduplicated limitations. It scans path spans without splitting
|
|
literal paths into arrays. Before schema parsing, it reserves the capture clone
|
|
and validation scratch by walking the parent without cloning it. Inline requests
|
|
borrow the Evidence value through CLI/MCP envelope validation; the application
|
|
admits the entire portable envelope before authenticated parsing or hashing. An
|
|
`evidence-file` source is read and authenticated first and then admitted like
|
|
retained Evidence, so its strings are not charged as inline envelope text: a
|
|
capture too large to project inline can be projected from its file. Before
|
|
authentication REA checks that live heap headroom holds its copies of the parsed
|
|
Evidence, and over MCP the read follows the request's cancellation.
|
|
An invalid Evidence file returns `EvidenceFileError` with the selected `path`
|
|
and `content_issues` relative to the file's JSON root; those locations do not
|
|
refer to the request's `source.path` string.
|
|
The envelope clone, hash scratch and capture clone stay charged during grouping.
|
|
Temporary URL/path/MIME/query work and retained state must
|
|
fit together within a 96 MiB projection representation budget. A whole group or
|
|
merge is admitted before allocating its retained sets, map entries or array
|
|
values. Fixed group storage, distinct text, exclusions and limitations count as
|
|
well as matched segments. Per-record reservations are released after each
|
|
record; repeated values do not accumulate another retained charge. Only the
|
|
requested page is materialized as output groups.
|
|
Opt-in query projection reserves parser tuples and the per-record name set
|
|
before decoding, then admits distinct retained names and source ordinals before
|
|
changing a group. Repeated names within a request retain that ordinal once.
|
|
|
|
The representation budget uses conservative storage and worst-case JSON-escaping
|
|
allowances; it is not an enforced V8 heap or process-memory limit. It is separate
|
|
from the decoder's actual reply-byte limit and MCP transport admission. Exceeding
|
|
it returns `resource_constraint` without a partial view. Limitations on the
|
|
parent envelope, capture and examined records are deduplicated onto the view.
|
|
Portable captures must retain unique ordinals within their declared total;
|
|
caller-selected subsets can preserve any requested ordinal order.
|
|
|
|
## Environment manifest
|
|
|
|
Pass retained HAR Evidence to `inspect_analysis_view` with
|
|
`view: {"kind":"environment-manifest"}` to project one application's recorded
|
|
request lines into a replayable tool surface: the environment manifest that an
|
|
agent environment later serves from retained Evidence. The view reuses the
|
|
api-surface grouping, then keeps the groups on the primary origin, the origin
|
|
with the most JSON-like records (`application/json`, `application/*+json`,
|
|
`text/plain`, `text/markdown`), whose path starts with `/api/` or `/apis/` or
|
|
whose content types are JSON-like. Every other group is listed under
|
|
`excluded` with reason `other-origin`, `ui-page-or-asset` or `non-json`, and
|
|
retained records without a usable request line are counted in a limitation.
|
|
|
|
The parent may instead be `capture_browser_scenario` Evidence whose scenario
|
|
selected response bodies or header values: each network transaction is then
|
|
one record, in request order, and the result names
|
|
`parent_operation: "capture_browser_scenario"` with an empty `artifact`, since
|
|
a scenario records no file. See
|
|
[agent environments](agent-environments.md#from-a-browser-scenario).
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "inspect_analysis_view",
|
|
"arguments": {
|
|
"source": { "kind": "retained-evidence", "evidence_id": "ev_..." },
|
|
"view": {
|
|
"kind": "environment-manifest",
|
|
"template_rules": [
|
|
"after-uid-literal",
|
|
"opaque-token",
|
|
"sibling-variance"
|
|
],
|
|
"include_query_parameter_names": true
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`origin` and `name` identify the environment; the name is the kebab-case
|
|
primary host with dots and ports replaced by hyphens, `grafana-example` for
|
|
`http://grafana.example`. Each tool carries a deterministic `name`, `method`,
|
|
`path_template`, `api_surface_template` (the four-rule template of its
|
|
earliest record), `params`, `query_parameter_names`, `body_shape`,
|
|
`statuses`, `content_types` and `record_ordinals`. `records` lists one pointer
|
|
`{ordinal, method, path, status, content_type}` per record a tool cites and
|
|
never a header, cookie or body. Tools sort by template then method.
|
|
|
|
Without `template_rules`, every `path_template` equals the api-surface
|
|
template and `params` carry the four format rules with names `id`, `uuid`,
|
|
`hash` and `date`; a repeated name gets a numeric suffix. Opt-in rules apply
|
|
only when listed, each at most once (a repeated rule is an `invalid_request`),
|
|
in this order:
|
|
|
|
| Rule | Applies to | Parameter |
|
|
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `after-uid-literal` | The literal segment right after a literal `uid`, unless it is a stop word | `uid` |
|
|
| `opaque-token` | A lowercase alphanumeric segment of twelve or more characters mixing letters and digits that is not a `v1`-style version | `uid` |
|
|
| `sibling-pair-variance` | Groups equal in method, origin and segment count that differ in two adjacent literals right after a plural literal at index 2 or later and followed by a literal, with at least three distinct pairs and both positions varying (`/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues`); stop words and `v1`-style versions never qualify | singular plural literal plus `_namespace`, then `_name` |
|
|
| `sibling-variance` | Groups equal in method, origin and segment count that differ in one literal at index 2 or later; the siblings whose literal is identifier-like (a digit or `:`, or three or more hyphenated names under a plural literal) merge, never a stop word, and the other literals stay their own tools | singular previous literal plus `_id`, else `id` |
|
|
| `prefix-variance` | A literal at a position that another tool, of any method or segment count, templates by one of the rules above after the same preceding segments, when the literal is one of that parameter's observed values, carries a digit and has the length and character classes (digits, lower case, upper case, each other character) of one, or has the single length of eight or more characters every observed value has and only their character classes; stop words and `v1`-style versions never qualify, and tools that now match merge | the name of the parameter it shares |
|
|
|
|
With `sibling-variance` selected, literal siblings within its comparison scope
|
|
fold into existing opt-in parameters as observed values unless they are stop words.
|
|
For example, select both `opaque-token` and `sibling-variance` so
|
|
`/api/folders/{uid}` lists `general` beside the recorded token. With only
|
|
`opaque-token`, `/api/folders/general` stays a separate literal tool.
|
|
A position templated by one of the four format rules
|
|
absorbs no literal, so `/api/teams/{numeric}` keeps its exact-format meaning
|
|
and `/api/teams/search` stays its own tool. Opt-in placeholders use the
|
|
parameter name; format-rule placeholders keep their api-surface spelling. Tool names are
|
|
`<method>_<literals>` with `api`, `apis`, `namespaces`, `default`, `v`-prefixed
|
|
version tokens and a `uid` literal before a parameter dropped, dotted literals
|
|
cut to their first label, `_by_<params>` appended when parameters exist,
|
|
sanitized to `[a-z0-9_]`, at most 60 characters and made unique with numeric
|
|
suffixes: `get_dashboards_by_uid`, `get_plugins_settings_by_plugin_id`.
|
|
|
|
`prefix-variance` runs last so it can share the parameters the other rules
|
|
produce: with `sibling-variance`, a `PATCH` or `DELETE` of the one entity a
|
|
session edited, `/api/v1/collections/0RZ576QZQA5KG`, becomes
|
|
`/api/v1/collections/{collection_id}` beside the reads that varied there, and
|
|
so do deeper routes such as `/api/v1/collections/{collection_id}/books`. Its
|
|
parameter is labelled `prefix-variance`, unless a merged tool templated the
|
|
position by its own rule. When parameters of different rules share a position,
|
|
a literal shares the one that observed it, else the earliest one it is spelled
|
|
like.
|
|
|
|
`sibling-variance`, `sibling-pair-variance` and `prefix-variance` compare routes of at most 32 segments; longer routes keep
|
|
their grouped templates and the manifest says so in a limitation. `body_shape`
|
|
is derived for `POST`, `PUT` and `PATCH` from the tool's earliest record when it
|
|
carries an `application/json` or `application/*+json` request body: top-level
|
|
keys and their JSON type names, never values and never nested structure; a body
|
|
on a later record adds nothing. `unknowns` always states three facts: the authorization model, response
|
|
semantics and state transitions are not established by a capture.
|
|
`templated_groups` counts tools and excluded groups with a templated segment;
|
|
whenever it is nonzero the Evidence is inferred, otherwise derived. The view
|
|
performs no network activity and replays nothing. Native mitmproxy, SAZ and
|
|
qlog captures, and parents inspected with `sensitive_values`, return the same
|
|
typed unsupported errors as the api-surface view, including the canonical
|
|
token `sensitive_values_unretained`. A `capture_browser_scenario` parent is not
|
|
refused for declaring secrets: the capture redacted them as it recorded, a
|
|
transaction whose URL was redacted is left unrepresented, and a response body
|
|
keeps the capture's redaction markers, which a manifest limitation counts.
|
|
|
|
The manifest accumulator shares the api-surface admission model: the capture
|
|
clone, the inline envelope (for an inline source), record pointers, groups, every route part, observed
|
|
values, query names and body-shape keys are admitted before allocation, and each
|
|
recorded body is charged as temporary bytes before it is parsed. Retained state and
|
|
temporary work must fit together within the 96 MiB projection representation
|
|
budget; exceeding it returns `resource_constraint` without a partial manifest.
|
|
Name a large capture with `{"kind": "evidence-file", "path": "/abs/capture.json"}`
|
|
rather than inline: response bodies the manifest never reads are then charged
|
|
once per value in the capture clone, not per character. A
|
|
`capture_browser_scenario` parent is also charged, before validation, for
|
|
checking its largest body and for the decoded text of its request bodies.
|
|
|
|
## Environment state
|
|
|
|
Pass the same parent to `inspect_analysis_view` with
|
|
`view: {"kind":"environment-state"}` to extract the initial state the
|
|
capture's reads observed, and a render plan per read tool that reproduces those
|
|
reads from it. Where the environment manifest names an application's tools, the
|
|
state holds its data: entities by type and identity, plus documents for reads
|
|
that are not entities. Use the `template_rules` of the manifest the state
|
|
accompanies so tool names match; the view groups records the same way.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "inspect_analysis_view",
|
|
"arguments": {
|
|
"source": { "kind": "retained-evidence", "evidence_id": "ev_..." },
|
|
"view": {
|
|
"kind": "environment-state",
|
|
"template_rules": [
|
|
"after-uid-literal",
|
|
"opaque-token",
|
|
"sibling-variance"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Records on the primary origin are ordered by recorded start time, or by record
|
|
order when any start time is missing (`timeline`), as for a
|
|
`capture_browser_scenario` parent. A `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` or `DELETE` with a
|
|
2xx or 3xx status, or no status, may change state, unless it is a `POST` whose
|
|
path has a segment such as `search`, `query`, `list`, `find`, `fuzzy`,
|
|
`count` or `stats`, which queries state instead. A type's state comes from its
|
|
successful reads that finished before the first such write under the same root:
|
|
the path's API base (the literal segments every tool sharing its first segment
|
|
has), any `v1`-style version segments, then one more segment. A read that
|
|
overlaps that write in time is left out. A write whose URL a scenario redacted
|
|
has an unknown target, so it ends the state of every type, and a limitation
|
|
counts such writes. Values from a `capture_browser_scenario` parent keep the
|
|
capture's redaction markers in place of declared secrets; the state is not
|
|
refused for them, as the manifest is not.
|
|
|
|
Each `GET` tool whose template ends in a parameter is an item tool, and its
|
|
type's `collection_template` is the template without that parameter; any other
|
|
`GET` tool is a list tool of its own template. Empty segments are ignored, so a
|
|
trailing slash names the same collection. An item tool proves its type's
|
|
`id_field` when every initial response carries the requested path value in the
|
|
same field of one entity object (`id_basis: "path-parameter"`). The object is
|
|
the response itself or one wrapper member; failing both, it is the only element
|
|
of a one-element array at the root (pointer `/0`) or in one member
|
|
(`/<member>/0`), as in `{"posts":[{...}]}` or `{"data":[{...}]}`, provided one
|
|
of the identity names below repeats the value, since a filtered list may also
|
|
answer with one element that repeats its parent's value. Otherwise the field is
|
|
the first of `id`, `uid`, `uuid`, `_id`, `ID`, `UID`, `Id`, `guid`, `key`,
|
|
`slug` and `name` that every listed item carries as a distinct string or
|
|
number; when none does, it is the first key of the first listed item, in its
|
|
order, whose name ends in `Id` or `_id` (such as `orgId` or `user_id`), that
|
|
every item carries as a distinct string or number, and that at least one
|
|
initial response shows distinct across two or more items
|
|
(`id_basis: "field-name"`). A single listed item is distinct from nothing, and
|
|
its suffix-named fields are often foreign keys, so a list that only ever held
|
|
one item is left to a document. Empty initial lists constrain no field. A list
|
|
is the response array, or the one array of objects in an envelope that is not
|
|
itself an entity, preferring an array whose items an identity name identifies,
|
|
then an array of two or more items a suffix-named field identifies.
|
|
|
|
`entities` merge every initial observation of one identity within one
|
|
collection path: an item view's latest values win over a list view's, a view
|
|
whose latest values differ keeps them in `view_fields`, and a field whose value
|
|
changed between one tool's observations with no recorded write between is named
|
|
in the type's `volatile_fields`, keeping the latest value. A value that changed
|
|
across a write under another root may be that write's effect, so every tool of
|
|
its type is a recorded view with reason `fields-differ`; so is a value one tool
|
|
read before a write and another tool read after it. Repeated reads of one full request line also keep the type recorded when list membership changes across a write, including transitions to or from an empty list, or when entity fields are added or removed. Different query strings remain distinct request lines. Sparse responses do not erase the last observation of a field supplied by another request line. Entities are ordered
|
|
by type, collection and first sighting; that order is a list's state order.
|
|
Every entity cites its `record_ordinals`.
|
|
|
|
`views` lists one plan per read tool in tool order:
|
|
|
|
| Shape | Plan |
|
|
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `item` | The entity object at `pointer` (the root, one member, or `/0` or `/<member>/0`), the ordered `fields` the view shows and the `required_fields` every recording had, and `envelope_ordinal`: the recording whose response, with the entity replaced, every item response shares |
|
|
| `list` | The array at `pointer`, its `fields`, `membership` (`all`: every entity of the collection in state order, when each recording listed exactly that, had no query or only paging parameters (`limit`, `offset`, `page`, `per_page`, `perpage`, `page_size`, `pagesize`, `size`, `start`, `_start`, `_end`), no item-total member (`total`, `count`, `totalCount`, `item_count`, `totalcount`, `itemcount`, but not `total_pages` or `per_page`; a number or a string of digits) differing from the number listed, and no `has_more`, `next` or next-page token member set; `recorded`: the entities each recording listed) and `counters` that equal the number listed |
|
|
| `document` | The latest initial value of a list tool whose responses hold no identified list, when its initial reads share one request line; held in `documents` with that `path`, whether or not the capture writes it, unless its value changed across any recorded write between those reads (`fields-differ`) |
|
|
| `recorded` | A `reason` the tool replays its recordings instead |
|
|
|
|
An item or list plan is kept only when it reproduces the latest initial
|
|
recording of each request line from the state, comparing JSON values without
|
|
regard to member order; a volatile field compares its recorded value. Each
|
|
plan lists the `checked_record_ordinals`. Otherwise the tool is a recorded view
|
|
with reason `envelope-varies`, `fields-differ` or `list-differs`; the other
|
|
reasons are `query-body` (a query `POST`), `no-init-recording`,
|
|
`body-unusable`, `no-identity` (an item read without a proved identity),
|
|
`path-varies` (another read under more than one path, as a template with a
|
|
parameter before its end), `query-varies` (another read of one path under
|
|
more than one query) and `rendered-oversize` (a document value whose JSON
|
|
renders to more than 256 KiB). A document holds the value of its one `path`, so for such
|
|
a template it says nothing about the template's other paths. A body is usable
|
|
when its content type is
|
|
JSON-like, it is UTF-8 text of at most 256 KiB, every number survives native
|
|
conversion exactly, and no member is named `__proto__`.
|
|
|
|
`writes` lists one plan per tool whose request may change state, in tool
|
|
order. Its `effect` is `create` for a `POST` to a type's
|
|
`collection_template`, `update` for a `PUT`, `PATCH` or `POST` to that template
|
|
plus one trailing parameter, `delete` for a `DELETE` to it, `document` for a
|
|
`PUT`, `PATCH` or `POST` to a document's path, and otherwise `none` with reason
|
|
`no-state-target`. A plan is built from the tool's first successful call: its
|
|
request body must be a usable JSON object (as response bodies are usable), and
|
|
the written entity must show in that call's response or in a later read before
|
|
the next write. Each field of a created entity gets the first rule that
|
|
explains it: generated `identity` (a sequence, UUID or token, by the recorded
|
|
value's shape), `echo` of a body member, `copy` of a body string of 8 or more
|
|
characters, a `path` value, a `slug` of a body member, a `clock` value within 10
|
|
minutes of the request in its recorded format, a `sequence` one past the
|
|
largest value of its collection or type, a `unique` UUID, or a `template` around
|
|
a generated value; other fields keep the observed value. An update's members
|
|
echo when stored as sent; a member stored differently is accepted only with its
|
|
recorded value (`body.fixed`) and stores the value the call that showed it
|
|
recorded (the `value` of its `constant` rule), and a field it changed without
|
|
sending must be a clock, an increment or a slug, or the plan is
|
|
`unexplained-change`; an increment or slug must hold for every call of the
|
|
tool. Every member the first call sent is required, except by `PATCH` and
|
|
`POST` updates.
|
|
|
|
The view then replays the timeline on a copy of the initial state. Modelled
|
|
writes apply their effect; only a `2xx` write is modelled or an example, and
|
|
any other write (a redirect, an unanswered or unmodelled one) leaves the entity
|
|
below whose item path it wrote unknown until a read shows it again (a whole
|
|
collection when the path names no held entity), and taints what it wrote at or
|
|
above. A read the served environment would answer from the state is compared
|
|
with its recording as the read plans are, as the whole response it would serve:
|
|
the entity or list rendered into the envelope of the item view's or the line's
|
|
base recording, with the members the state still holds. A 400, 404 or 410 (or a
|
|
`null` body) agrees with an entity the copy does not hold. A match confirms
|
|
the writes that changed its entity or collection since it was last read; a
|
|
mismatch contradicts them, or, when an unmodelled write came after them, is
|
|
checked only on the members they sent; a mismatch no write explains marks the related writes since as
|
|
`side-effect`. A plan is `served` when a read confirmed it and none
|
|
contradicted it; otherwise its `reason` is the first of its build reason
|
|
(`no-call`, `body-unusable`, `no-observation`, `unexplained-change`),
|
|
`contradicted` (with `contradicted_by`), `side-effect`, `unconfirmed` and `incomplete-entities` (an update or delete that answers with the entity, when no initial entity holds every field its recorded answer shows, so it could answer only for entities the environment created).
|
|
`checked_record_ordinals` lists the confirming reads, `insert` places created
|
|
entities (sorted by a field the collection's recorded order shows, else last),
|
|
and `write_clock` is the end of the last timed record, to the next second.
|
|
|
|
Values in the state are recorded data, so the view refuses the same parents as
|
|
the manifest, including those inspected with `sensitive_values`, and a
|
|
`capture_browser_scenario` parent must have selected response bodies. Types and
|
|
identity are inferences, so the Evidence is always inferred. `unknowns` states
|
|
that the state establishes no authorization model, no way the application
|
|
computes responses or derived values, and write effects only as modelled from
|
|
recorded calls. The state
|
|
accumulator charges the manifest's admission and grouping, every record line,
|
|
each body as temporary bytes before it is decoded and parsed, and every value
|
|
it keeps, within the same 96 MiB budget. Documents hold whole recorded response
|
|
values whose recorded text and rendered JSON are each at most 256 KiB, so a
|
|
capture with many read-only paths yields a correspondingly larger state result.
|
|
The view performs no network activity and serves nothing; `rea environment-serve`
|
|
derives it from the capture at startup, serves read tools and the served write
|
|
plans from it and loads replacement states through the AgentEnv data plane, as
|
|
[serve from the state](agent-environments.md#serve-from-the-state) describes.
|
|
|
|
## Resource and lifecycle boundaries
|
|
|
|
Complete evidence has a 32 MiB input, 96 MiB decoder reply and 64-level nesting
|
|
budget. Those budgets have no runtime override. `capture_timeout_ms` does not
|
|
raise them. Exceeding a budget returns no partial success.
|
|
Oversized selected captures return an input error identifying `capture_path`
|
|
and the byte budget; owned reply/output failures remain output or provider errors.
|
|
HAR, SAZ and qlog run in an owned
|
|
192 MiB Node old-generation heap with one V8 worker. Mitmproxy decoding applies
|
|
Linux limits of 768 MiB address space, 30 seconds CPU and 96 MiB file output;
|
|
both commands use `capture_timeout_ms` (default 30000) and independently supervised
|
|
process cleanup. Owned decoder diagnostics retain at most 1 MiB across stdout
|
|
and stderr; the collector drops overflow as it arrives, reports the limit
|
|
failure and verifies cleanup. Heap limits alone do not establish aggregate RSS limits.
|
|
SAZ and qlog refuse decoding when neither a Node heap limit nor a Windows Job Object bound can be enforced. Existing HAR availability is preserved.
|
|
When REA runs on Bun, the HAR/SAZ/qlog decoder runs on Bun, which ignores these V8 heap
|
|
flags; its limitations and resource failures then omit the heap sizes. On
|
|
Windows, the decoder's owned Job Object instead limits its committed memory to
|
|
704 MiB, the 192 MiB budget plus a 512 MiB reserve for Bun itself. The
|
|
limitations state that limit, and reaching it returns `resource_constraint`
|
|
with `process_memory_limit_bytes`, whatever exit status Bun reports.
|
|
|
|
Observed decoder memory exhaustion returns `resource_constraint`, with the
|
|
selected capture, applicable limits and retained process diagnostics. HAR/SAZ/qlog's
|
|
old-generation heap is fixed; inherited `NODE_OPTIONS` cannot raise it.
|
|
Record selection happens after complete decoding and does not reduce that
|
|
workload. Use a smaller capture exported by its producer or another decoder
|
|
with sufficient capacity, retaining the original for provenance. Subsets do
|
|
not establish complete-capture coverage. Repeating the same workload or
|
|
running provider health diagnostics does not resolve the heap constraint.
|
|
|
|
Stable regular-file reads reject symlinks, replacement and concurrent changes.
|
|
Private snapshots, declarations and tool configuration are removed before the
|
|
result returns. Cleanup uncertainty retains the selected capture, resource and
|
|
original failure information. The original capture is never changed.
|
|
|
|
## Excluded coordinates and read failures
|
|
|
|
Explicitly marked values also exclude matching source coordinates and their sidecars. A hidden record coordinate is reported as `location.kind: "unknown"`; REA does not invent a replacement pointer. Original record ordinals and artifact digests remain available.
|
|
|
|
Host filesystem read denials return `code: "access_denied"`, `category: "unavailable"`, the actual `EACCES`/`EPERM` code and read-access guidance. Missing files remain input failures. Cleanup failures retain the prior structured error, including its input constraints or provider diagnostics, with explicitly marked text excluded.
|
|
|
|
An observed replacement or in-place change during stable artifact acquisition
|
|
returns `code: "artifact_changed"`, `category: "integrity_mismatch"` and
|
|
`retryable: true`, retaining the selected path and reader's reason. Wait until
|
|
the capture file is stable before retrying. No unstable snapshot is decoded.
|
|
Command cleanup failures retain the original status and both diagnostic streams;
|
|
the decoder's ownership preparation receives the same cancellation signal.
|
|
|
|
MCP advertises the same strict named input contract used by the application. Historical inspection delegates argument validation to that shared application boundary so accepted explicit-sensitive declarations also cover invalid argument names and other correction details. The SDK receives raw arguments through its Standard Schema interface; malformed inputs still fail before decoder or filesystem effects and return the normal structured REA error. Protocol-envelope validation remains owned by MCP.

|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/origin.qlog qlog --json
|
|
rea inspect-web-network-capture /absolute/origin.qlog qlog --record 95 --record 0 --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The initial profile is **aioquic 1.5.0, JSON qlog 0.3**: one JSON object with
|
|
`qlog_format: "JSON"`, `qlog_version: "0.3"`, `traces` containing object events
|
|
with `name`, finite numeric `time` and object `data`. JSON-SEQ, JSONL, columnar
|
|
array events and other versions are unsupported. Duplicate JSON members,
|
|
malformed UTF-8, invalid interpreted QUIC integers and excessive nesting fail
|
|
without partial success, including in events outside the selected ordinals.
|
|
Well-formed event subsets and missing frame metadata remain inspectable.
|
|
Unknown extensions are retained; this is not validation of every qlog schema.
|
|
|
|
Choosing the format selects the interpretation profile; the file does not
|
|
necessarily report or authenticate an aioquic version. The profile's clock
|
|
uses Unix-epoch milliseconds, verified in aioquic 1.5.0's `QuicLoggerTrace`
|
|
`log_event`/`encode_time`. The `qlog.clock.basis` and Evidence analysis profile
|
|
state that assumption explicitly. Numeric lexemes survive independently of
|
|
safe JSON-number projections; decimal spelling does not establish physical
|
|
clock precision or monotonicity.
|
|
|
|
Every event has a global ordinal from trace/event source traversal and its
|
|
original `/traces/T/events/E` pointer. This order is not a global time sort.
|
|
Trace index and the selected artifact identify a connection observation;
|
|
reported ODCID is preserved without claiming global uniqueness. Streams are
|
|
scoped by trace, stream ID and sent/received direction. Control/QPACK streams
|
|
are retained, so counting streams does not count HTTP requests.
|
|
|
|
`qlog` is a typed facet required exactly for this format. Its scope is
|
|
`all-recorded-events-before-selection`: selection changes returned event
|
|
records while facts cite the original ordinals across the entire recorded
|
|
file. The container retains trace metadata with each events array replaced
|
|
by null; there is no single events pointer shared by all traces.
|
|
|
|
| Fact | Basis and limits |
|
|
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Original event and loss declaration | Observed endpoint report; `recovery:packet_lost` does not prove actual network loss. Missing packet number/type remains unknown. |
|
|
| STREAM ranges and byte totals | Derived per trace and direction from reported offsets and lengths using exact integer arithmetic. `unique_bytes` unions intervals; `frame_length_sum` includes overlaps; `repeated_bytes` is their difference. Overlap alone does not prove retransmission or equal contents. |
|
|
| FIN final sizes | Reported offset plus length where FIN is true; multiple conflicting sizes remain visible. A final size does not establish complete coverage or a received body. |
|
|
| Incomplete fact records | Ordinals with omitted/redacted interpretable frame metadata; usable fields in other records survive. An empty list does not establish complete logging or capture. |
|
|
| HTTP bodies and causality | `body_bytes: "not-reported"`; lengths and headers are metadata, with no reconstructed body, hash, timing causality or live process attribution. |
|
|
|
|
QUIC integer fields interpreted here accept exact nonnegative JSON integer
|
|
values through `2^62 - 1`, including equivalent exponent notation. Offsets plus
|
|
lengths must fit that range. Derived sums are decimal strings and are not
|
|
rounded to JavaScript numbers. A missing offset is unknown, never defaulted to
|
|
zero. Ranges can start above zero or contain gaps. Packet headers, HTTP events,
|
|
raw lengths and unknown extensions remain producer evidence rather than being
|
|
normalized into invented HAR requests.
|
|
|
|
The adapter excludes authorization/proxy authorization/cookie/set-cookie
|
|
values in known HTTP frame events, reset tokens in transport parameters and
|
|
NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames, and NEW_TOKEN frame tokens. Known URL header userinfo
|
|
and explicit sensitive values follow the shared exclusions. Ordinary extension
|
|
fields and token-looking query text remain retained. Explicit declarations also
|
|
cover normalized numeric projections, derived totals and trace pointers; facts
|
|
that cannot be safely shown are omitted with incomplete-record coordinates.
|
|
No keylog, PCAP, live URL or recorded target is opened by the qlog decoder.
|
|
|
|
To repeat the real-provider lane with **local caller-supplied evidence** from
|
|
the educational aioquic 1.5.0 experiment (one origin trace, known 32,803-byte
|
|
stream coverage and one 1,169-byte repeated range in the loss case):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run verify:web:qlog -- /absolute/control/origin.qlog /absolute/loss/origin.qlog /absolute/new-report.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This lane checks built CLI/stdio MCP parity, SDK-converted JSON Schemas,
|
|
artifact digests, original event count, selection scope, retained parent lookup,
|
|
credential exclusions and the known control/loss facts. The report is created
|
|
exclusively and contains no keys or captured credential values. It is a
|
|
fixture-specific verification, not a general loss detector. CI uses synthetic
|
|
format inputs for malformed cases and limits; those tests do not establish
|
|
producer provenance. PCAP parsing and correlation remain outside this stage.
|
|
|
|
### Focused qlog views
|
|
|
|
Use MCP `inspect_web_network_capture` with `format: "qlog", detail: "summary"`
|
|
for identity, profile, scope and retained-fact counts. Then pass its
|
|
`normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` to `inspect_analysis_view` as a
|
|
`retained-evidence` source.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"kind":"qlog","facet":"traces","offset":0,"limit":10}
|
|
{"kind":"qlog","facet":"streams","trace_index":0,"offset":0,"limit":10}
|
|
{"kind":"qlog","facet":"contributions","trace_index":0,"stream_id":"0","direction":"sent","offset":0,"limit":20}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Trace pages omit nested lists and give their counts. Stream pages preserve
|
|
exact byte totals but omit contributions, ranges and final-size lists. For
|
|
those lists select `contributions`, `ranges` or `final-sizes` with all three
|
|
stream selectors. `loss-declarations` and `incomplete-records` need only
|
|
`trace_index`. Offsets count rows in that retained facet; defaults are 0 and 64. Missing or ambiguous selectors fail rather than choosing a connection.
|
|
|
|
These views page already interpreted facts without decoding again or opening
|
|
the source, and work after its deletion. Facts still cover all recorded events
|
|
before parent record selection. Their exhaustion does not prove logging or
|
|
network completeness. Event preview/complete pages remain available through
|
|
kind `capture`, with original numeric lexemes and producer ordinals preserved.
