Subject: [PATCH 01/32] docs(seller): correct invalid schema claims and serve()
 signature
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove `compliance_testing` from `capabilities_response` calls at :67 and :222; it is not a SupportedProtocol enum value.
- Strip invalid `measurement_type` / `verification` keys from `delivery_measurement` example (:110-114); schema only has `provider` + optional `notes`.
- Fix `get_products` proposal return at :185 — `products_response()` has no `proposal=` kwarg; merge into response dict under plural `proposals` field.
- Rewrite :479-481 compliance block to note `serve(test_controller=...)` wires the capability automatically; drop the invalid `supported_protocols` snippet.
- Update serve() Quick Reference signature (:509), fix validation invocation to `npx -y -p @adcp/client adcp storyboard run` and show `serve(handler, port=3001)`, define missing `AGENT_URL` constant, add a Production Deployment signpost section before Common Mistakes.

Subject: [PATCH 02/32] docs(generative-seller): fix invalid enums and document
 generative tools
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Drop "compliance_testing" from capabilities_response — not a valid
  SupportedProtocol enum value; only "media_buy" applies here.
- Change standard-upload creative status from "accepted" to "approved".
  "accepted" is not a member of CreativeStatus (processing, pending_review,
  approved, rejected, archived).
- Fix storyboard invocation to use `npx -y -p @adcp/client adcp storyboard
  run ...` so the CLI binary resolves under npx's package-vs-binary rules.
- Define AGENT_URL = "http://localhost:3001/mcp" in the main code block;
  the format examples referenced it without defining it.
- Add port=3001 to the serve() example so it lines up with the validation
  command.
- Add a "Generative Tools (Required)" section covering build_creative and
  preview_creative. ADCPHandler advertises both by default and returns
  not_supported unless overridden, so a generative seller must implement
  them or the storyboard fails at the generation step. Documents the
  required idempotency_key field (pattern ^[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]{16,255}$) and
  points at adcp.server.idempotency.IdempotencyStore for retry dedupe.

Subject: [PATCH 03/32] docs(retail): fix invalid capability enum and
 storyboard invocation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Drop `"compliance_testing"` from the `capabilities_response` example —
it is not a valid `SupportedProtocol` enum value
(media_buy, signals, governance, sponsored_intelligence, creative, brand).
Compliance testing is a separate top-level capability block, not a
protocol name.

Correct the validation block to `npx -y -p @adcp/client adcp storyboard
run ...` so the `adcp` CLI binary resolves under the `@adcp/client`
package when invoked via npx.

Note on `provide_performance_feedback`: the `{"success": True,
"sandbox": True}` example does not match either variant of
`ProvidePerformanceFeedbackResponse`. Added a one-line pointer to the
generated schema rather than rewriting the example here.

Skipped the `AGENT_URL` constant edit — the skill does not reference
`AGENT_URL` anywhere, so no definition is needed.

Subject: [PATCH 04/32] docs(creative): remove anti-patterns from
 build-creative-agent skill

- Replace hardcoded ISO timestamps in list_creatives example with
  datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat() so copy-paste implementations
  emit real created_date/updated_date values.
- Replace silent fallback in build_creative ("fall back to first
  available") with an explicit CREATIVE_NOT_FOUND adcp_error. The
  skill's own Common Mistakes table already flags this anti-pattern;
  the example now matches the guidance.
- Annotate the target_format_id / output_format / format_id triple
  alias lookup to mark target_format_id as canonical per spec and the
  other keys as legacy aliases kept for compatibility.
- Fix the validation command to use `npx -y -p @adcp/client adcp
  storyboard run ...` so the storyboard binary is resolved correctly
  from the package.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Correct signal_ids filter to use (source, id) tuples per signal-id.json
  discriminated union; drop the `or sid` fallback that assumed bare strings.
- Note that get_signals requires anyOf(signal_spec, signal_ids) — empty
  requests are invalid per schema.
- Replace hardcoded deployed_at timestamps with datetime.now(timezone.utc);
  add the corresponding imports to the activate_signal example.
- Add Custom bullet to "Marketplace or Owned?" describing agent-native
  segments (signal_type: "custom").
- Add Idempotency for activate_signal subsection covering required
  idempotency_key, IdempotencyStore wrap pattern, IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT,
  and the capability declaration.
- Fix storyboard command to `npx -y -p @adcp/client adcp storyboard run`
  and surface port=3001 on the serve() call.

Subject: [PATCH 06/32] fix(sdk): SDK cheap fixes for DX Stream B1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add SIGNAL_NOT_FOUND to STANDARD_ERROR_CODES in server/helpers.py
  (recovery: "correctable"), matching the PRODUCT_NOT_FOUND /
  MEDIA_BUY_NOT_FOUND / PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND pattern. The skill
  build-signals-agent teaches this code and previously fell through
  to the terminal default.
- Type sync_governance() params in server/base.py as
  SyncGovernanceRequest | dict[str, Any] to match its siblings.
  Re-export SyncGovernanceRequest / SyncGovernanceResponse from
  adcp.types (previously only reachable via generated_poc).
- Correct the sync_creatives_response docstring in server/responses.py
  to list the real CreativeStatus enum values
  (processing, pending_review, approved, rejected, archived); the
  previous "accepted|pending_review|rejected" list was wrong on both
  ends.
- Drop the undocumented-but-ignored mount kwarg from server.serve.serve();
  it was never wired into FastMCP and no callers exist in src/, tests/,
  or examples/.
- Add optional compliance_testing kwarg to
  server.responses.capabilities_response() so skills can declare a
  top-level compliance_testing block without post-processing the dict.

Leaves schemas/cache/enums/error-code.json untouched — the cache is
regenerated from the upstream schema bundle by scripts/sync_schemas.py;
the SIGNAL_NOT_FOUND entry belongs upstream, not in the local cache.

Subject: [PATCH 07/32] feat(examples): add seller_agent.py reference impl

- Create examples/seller_agent.py, a complete ADCPHandler-based seller covering the media_buy_seller storyboard (9 steps, all core tools): get_adcp_capabilities, sync_accounts, sync_governance, get_products (with refine/proposal branch), create_media_buy, get_media_buys, update_media_buy (pause/resume/cancel/revision), list_creative_formats, sync_creatives, get_media_buy_delivery.
- Ship an in-file TestControllerStore (DemoStore) implementing force_account_status, force_media_buy_status, force_creative_status, simulate_delivery, simulate_budget_spend so the compliance_testing block is enabled automatically via serve(test_controller=...).
- Serve as the referenced starting point for the seller, generative-seller, and retail-media skills (eleven cross-links currently pointed at a missing file). Generative/creative-specific tools (build_creative, preview_creative) intentionally deferred to the generative-seller example.
- Apply the DX-triage corrections already landed in the skill: capabilities_response(["media_buy"]) only, delivery_measurement limited to provider, refine branch returns {**products_response(PRODUCTS), "proposals": [...]} rather than a nonexistent proposal kwarg.
- Verified: ruff check clean; process boots under uv run python examples/seller_agent.py and responds to MCP initialize on :3001 with serverInfo.name=demo-seller. mypy reports expected module-not-found noise when invoked on the loose example path outside the src tree.

Subject: [PATCH 08/32] chore(dx): skill-build harness for 4.1 iteration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Shared-workspace harness so future skill-build runs can share one pre-installed
venv, write into per-skill output subdirs, bind to distinct ports, and invoke
storyboards with a one-liner. Replaces the worktree-isolated subagent approach,
where worktrees did not inherit the parent session's tool permissions and three
of five runs timed out at 30 minutes without producing any files.

New files:
- scripts/skill-build-setup.sh — idempotent one-time setup. Creates .venv,
  bootstraps pip via ensurepip with a get-pip.py fallback for Python builds
  that ship without it, installs adcp editable, warms the @adcp/client npx
  cache with `adcp storyboard list`, and reports any ports in the 3001-3020
  range that are already bound.
- scripts/skill-run.sh <skill> <port> <storyboard> — runs one agent. Spawns
  .context/dx-runs/<skill>/agent.py via the venv python by absolute path so no
  shell wrapper sits between us and the child (confirmed fix for the
  safe-chain PPID issue), waits for MCP initialize to return 200 (tools/list
  is rejected without a session, so it is not a valid readiness probe),
  invokes the storyboard with --json, captures the transcript next to
  agent.py, and kills the server via trap with an lsof-based fallback on the
  port.
- .context/dx-runs/README.md — documents why shared workspace beats
  worktrees, the directory layout, invocation, and the fixed port assignments
  (seller 3011, generative 3012, retail 3013, creative 3014, signals 3015).
- .context/dx-runs/AGENT_BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md — delegation template for parent
  agents. Names the two scripts, pins the agent.py path, forbids edits to
  src/adcp/ or skills/, and requires sub-agents to stop and write a DX
  report after three consecutive failures rather than loop.

Verified end-to-end on the creative skill (port 3014, storyboard
creative_lifecycle): setup completes, server boots, storyboard runs to 1/1
passing, JSON transcript lands at .context/dx-runs/creative/creative_lifecycle.json,
and the server is reaped with no port leak.

Subject: [PATCH 09/32] fix(example): derive port and AGENT_URL from ADCP_PORT
 env
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The skill-build harness sets ADCP_PORT per skill (e.g. 3011 for seller) to
run validators concurrently without port collisions. The example previously
only read PORT, so every harness-driven run of the example bound to the
default 3001 while the harness probed the assigned port and timed out on
the readiness check.

- Read ADCP_PORT first, fall back to PORT, then 3001.
- Derive AGENT_URL from PORT so products and format IDs advertise a scope
  that matches where the server is actually listening (previously baked in
  localhost:3001 regardless).

Verified: bash scripts/skill-run.sh seller 3011 media_buy_seller → PASS.

Subject: [PATCH 10/32] docs(creative): fix NameError in build_creative
 fallback

The adcp_error call at :210 referenced {target_format_id} in its f-string
but the in-scope local is target_format. First caller to hit the fallback
branch (no creative in library and no format match) would crash at runtime
instead of returning CREATIVE_NOT_FOUND.

Extract a format_label derived from the actual target_format variable
(handles both dict and string shapes) and use that in the message.

Subject: [PATCH 11/32] docs(signals,generative): correct idempotency.wrap
 decorator usage
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Both skills taught invented APIs for IdempotencyStore that crash on first
call:

- signals: `await store.wrap(key, params, handler)` — store.wrap takes one
  argument (handler) and returns a decorator, not a 3-arg coroutine.
- generative-seller: `idempotency.get(key)` / `idempotency.put(key, value)` —
  IdempotencyStore exposes neither; get/put live on the backend and take
  different signatures entirely.

Replace both with the canonical @store.wrap decorator pattern already
shown in adcp.server.idempotency.__init__ docstring: decorate the handler,
let @wrap hash params and dedup by (caller_identity, idempotency_key).

 auto-wire with explicit kwarg
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previous text claimed serve(test_controller=store) wires up the
compliance_testing capability block automatically. It doesn't —
register_test_controller only registers the comply_test_controller tool;
nothing injects the block into get_adcp_capabilities. Verified in
src/adcp/server/serve.py:117-125 and test_controller.py — there's no
capability-injection path.

Replace with the explicit pattern using the compliance_testing= kwarg
(added in the B1 SDK commit 33a248f8). Lists the four scenarios a seller
using TestControllerStore typically declares.

Subject: [PATCH 14/32] docs(signals,seller): round-2 validator findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two bugs surfaced when skill-driven validators ran the storyboards:

- signals: `IdempotencyStore()` in the skill's example is a TypeError —
  the constructor requires `backend=`. Add `MemoryBackend` import and
  pass a backend + TTL (24h, the spec minimum).
- seller: `proposals[0]` in the refine_products response was missing
  schema-required `name` and `allocations` fields. Storyboard rejects
  the response and every proposal flow fails. Add both.

Storyboard results after these fixes:
- creative_lifecycle: 1/1 PASS
- signal_owned: 5/5, signal_marketplace: 11/11 PASS
- media_buy_seller: 29/42 (harness rc=0); remaining failures are
  scenarios the skill doesn't teach (governance, invalid_transitions,
  pending_creatives, inventory_list) — 4.1 targets.
- media_buy_generative_seller: 9/9 generative-specific scenarios PASS
- media_buy_catalog_creative: 28/33 (harness rc=0); catalog packages
  shape is undocumented in the skill.

Subject: [PATCH 15/32] feat(mcp): auto-generate sync_governance inputSchema
 from Pydantic
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

sync_governance was the last tool still shipping a hand-crafted stub
inputSchema (just {accounts: array}) — every MCP client reading
tools/list got a schema that hid the required idempotency_key field
and every per-account structure the real request carries.

Export SyncGovernanceRequest from adcp.types and add it to the
tool-to-model map in _generate_pydantic_schemas, so all 57 ADCP tools
now advertise inputSchemas generated from their <ToolName>Request
Pydantic models at import time.

Also tighten the generator's docstring to reflect that the fall-back
path is now a regression signal, not an expected outcome.

Subject: [PATCH 16/32] test(mcp): drift guard for Pydantic-generated
 inputSchemas
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The MCP tool registry generates inputSchemas from Pydantic request
models at import time. Previously the only regression guard was a
big KNOWN_GAPS table in test_spec_coverage.py that tracked every
field a hand-crafted schema happened to omit — stale and noisy now
that the schemas ARE the Pydantic models.

Add tests/test_mcp_schema_drift.py with three targeted checks:

  - every tool maps to a request model (catches new tools shipped
    with a stub schema)
  - every tool's advertised schema byte-matches fresh generation
    (catches tampering or a broken _apply_pydantic_schemas)
  - required fields on a representative slice of models appear in
    the advertised schema (agents building payloads from tools/list
    rely on this)

Plus a spot-check that the three tools previously worst-affected by
drift (get_products, build_creative, create_media_buy) now advertise
their real required fields — buying_mode, idempotency_key, account,
brand, start_time, end_time.

Prune the KNOWN_GAPS table from test_spec_coverage.py and its
oneOf/anyOf walker; the new module covers the same ground more
cleanly. The surviving test there is now a coarse coverage check
pointing at the drift suite.

+"""Drift tests for MCP tool inputSchema generation.
+
+The MCP tool registry exposes ``inputSchema`` for every ADCP tool via
+``tools/list``. These schemas are auto-generated from the corresponding
+Pydantic request models in ``adcp.types`` at import time
+(:func:`adcp.server.mcp_tools._generate_pydantic_schemas`).
+
+This module protects the generation path from regressions:
+
+1. Every tool must resolve to a Pydantic-generated schema. If a new tool
+   is added to ``ADCP_TOOL_DEFINITIONS`` without a mapping in
+   ``_tool_to_request``, the tool would silently ship a hand-crafted
+   stub schema again — the drift this whole mechanism exists to prevent.
+2. Each tool's ``inputSchema`` must match the ``model_json_schema()``
+   output of its request model (modulo the ``title`` strip and the
+   conditional ``$defs`` drop). If Pydantic changes its schema output,
+   or a model gains/drops a field, this test fails on the affected tool.
+3. The schema must advertise the model's required fields so agents
+   constructing payloads via ``tools/list`` see accurate constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 17/32] fix(seller): declare compliance_testing block and add
 missing force_creative_status scenario
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Protocol review caught two inconsistencies between the seller skill and example:

- examples/seller_agent.py wired test_controller=DemoStore() but never declared
  the compliance_testing capability block — doing exactly what the skill now
  teaches users not to do. Added the kwarg with all 5 scenarios the DemoStore
  implements.
- skills/build-seller-agent/SKILL.md advertised only 4 scenarios in the
  example scenarios list despite MyStore implementing force_creative_status
  at line 457. A buyer reading capabilities would think the agent can't force
  creative state even though it can.

Subject: [PATCH 18/32] chore(types,mcp): remove duplicate __all__ entries and
 string-concat artifact
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Code review nits from the final pass:

- src/adcp/types/__init__.py had SyncGovernanceRequest/Response listed twice
  in __all__ — once in the "Event & Source Operations" block (wrong section,
  introduced during B1 re-export work) and once in "V3 Governance" (correct).
  Removed the former.
- src/adcp/server/mcp_tools.py:824 had a Black-reflowed implicit string
  concat that read as a tuple-of-strings at first glance. Collapsed to a
  single-line literal.

Subject: [PATCH 19/32] chore!: mark 4.0 breaking change for release-please
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

BREAKING CHANGE: serve(mount=...) kwarg removed.

The mount= kwarg was accepted but never wired into FastMCP mounting —
a silent no-op since serve.py's first commit (d9d87788). Removed in
earlier commit 33a248f8 without a proper BREAKING CHANGE marker; this
commit exists so release-please promotes the next tag to 4.0.0.

Zero callers found in src/, tests/, examples/, or skills/ at removal
time. Any external caller that relied on the parameter was relying on
a silent no-op.

Subject: [PATCH 20/32] fix(webhooks)!: sign compact-separator JSON to match
 httpx wire format
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-4 webhooks DX exploration surfaced a silent 4.0 blocker: the
signer hashed json.dumps(payload) with Python default separators
(", " / ": "), but httpx json= and every AdCP reference verifier
read the raw body, which httpx writes with compact separators
(","/":"). Sellers using the documented pattern —

    client.post(url, json=payload, headers=signed)

got 401s from every compliant verifier with no clue why. The buyer
side quietly worked because _verify_webhook_signature uses raw_body,
so the trap was invisible cross-SDK.

Fix
---
- src/adcp/webhooks.py:211 now calls json.dumps(..., separators=(",", ":"))
  so the signed bytes match exactly what httpx (and most clients) send.
- Existing test_get_adcp_signed_headers_produces_correct_signature
  updated to use compact separators in its round-trip check; captured
  vectors that used spaced JSON now skip (same as before for mismatched
  encodings).
- New test_signer_matches_httpx_json_wire_form pins the contract by
  signing against httpx.Request(...).content directly. Any future
  divergence fails loudly in CI.

Also tighten the operation_id docstring in create_mcp_webhook_payload
— the prior "deprecated from payload" wording contradicted the code,
which still emits it when provided.

BREAKING CHANGE: get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook now signs the
compact-separator JSON form of the payload. Callers that previously
hand-serialized spaced JSON and POSTed it with content= will see
signature mismatches after this change. The fix is to also serialize
with separators=(",", ":") or switch to httpx json= which already
uses that form.

Subject: [PATCH 21/32] docs(seller,retail): teach proposal refine schema and
 webhook emission
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-4 storyboard validators rejected refined proposals that were missing
fields the seller skill never taught. Per schemas/cache/core/proposal.json,
a Proposal requires proposal_id, name, and allocations[], and each
ProductAllocation requires product_id + allocation_percentage (which must
sum to 100 across the proposal). The seller skill's refine example only
emitted {proposal_id, name, status, allocations:[{product_id, packages}]}
— agents copying this shape produced payloads the validator rejected.

Update the seller Proposal Workflow example to:

  - populate allocation_percentage on every allocation (even split when
    the buyer sends packages, 100% single-product when they don't)
  - use the schema-correct field name `proposal_status` instead of the
    shorthand `status`
  - add an explicit comment citing the required fields so future edits
    don't drop them

The retail skill inherits the seller proposal pattern rather than
duplicating it. Add a one-line pointer in its "Seller Tools (Required)"
section so agents building retail platforms with guaranteed-deal support
know to follow the seller proposal workflow.

Separately, the seller skill mentioned `artifact_webhook` /
`reporting_webhook` request fields but never taught sellers how to emit
a webhook. Round-4 webhooks DX exploration found sellers rewriting ~30
lines of payload + HMAC boilerplate per webhook type. Add an "Emitting
Webhooks" section (before Proposal Workflow) covering:

  - when to emit (async-approval transitions, artifact ready, delivery
    reports the buyer subscribed to via reporting_webhook)
  - payload construction via adcp.webhooks.create_mcp_webhook_payload
    (and create_a2a_webhook_payload for A2A transport)
  - signing via get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook, with the PR #205
    behavior called out explicitly: the signer serializes with compact
    separators matching httpx's `json=` wire bytes, so callers MUST
    POST via `client.post(url, json=payload, headers=signed)` and NOT
    hand-serialize the body (hand-serialization produces mismatched
    bytes and silent 401s on the receiver)
  - retry semantics (receiver dedupes on task_id; retry is a
    byte-identical re-POST — don't re-sign on retry)
  - one ~15-line worked example emitting a create_media_buy
    completion webhook

4.1 follow-up: there is no dedicated `create_delivery_report_webhook_payload`
helper in adcp.webhooks today. The section directs sellers to reuse
`create_mcp_webhook_payload` with `task_type="get_media_buy_delivery"`
for now. If delivery-report webhooks become common enough to warrant a
shape-specific helper (pre-populated task_type, typed delivery result),
add it in 4.1 and update this section to prefer it.

No SDK or runtime code changed — skill-only.

+## Emitting Webhooks
+
+Sellers emit webhooks to notify buyers asynchronously — no client library call, just an outbound HTTP POST. Use the SDK helpers instead of hand-rolling payload shape or signature bytes.
+
+**When to emit:**
+- Async-approval media buy transitions (e.g., `pending_activation` → `active`, or `→ rejected`)
+- Artifact-ready notifications after long-running operations
+- Delivery reports the buyer subscribed to via `reporting_webhook` on `create_media_buy`
+
+**Build the payload.** Use `create_mcp_webhook_payload(task_id, status, task_type=..., result=..., message=...)` — it matches the `McpWebhookPayload` schema. For A2A transport, use `create_a2a_webhook_payload(...)` instead. There is no dedicated delivery-report helper today; reuse `create_mcp_webhook_payload` with `task_type="get_media_buy_delivery"` and the delivery response as `result`.
+
+**Sign the headers.** Call `get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook(headers, secret, timestamp, payload)`. This sets `X-AdCP-Signature` (HMAC-SHA256 over `"{timestamp}.{compact_json_payload}"`) and `X-AdCP-Timestamp`. The signer serializes with compact separators (`","` / `":"`) to match what httpx emits for `json=`, so POST via `client.post(url, json=payload, headers=signed)` — never hand-serialize the body yourself or the signature will mismatch.
+
+**Retry semantics.** Receivers dedupe on `task_id` (or `operation_id` if you set it). A retry is a byte-identical re-POST: same payload, same signed headers, same timestamp. Don't re-sign on retry.
+
+```python
+import httpx

Subject: [PATCH 22/32] fix(sdk): three cleanups from round-4 validator
 findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- webhooks.create_mcp_webhook_payload() now accepts a token kwarg and
  echoes it into the payload when provided. PushNotificationConfig.token
  documents that buyers supply this at subscription time to validate
  webhook authenticity ("Echoed back in webhook payload to validate
  request authenticity"), but the MCP payload builder had no way to
  surface it. Adds two tests in tests/test_webhook_handling.py covering
  present and absent cases.
- serve.create_mcp_server() gains include_test_controller=False, and
  serve.a2a_server.ADCPAgentExecutor / _build_agent_card now drop
  comply_test_controller from the handler tool list and agent card when
  no TestControllerStore is wired. Before this, ADCPHandler subclasses
  got comply_test_controller advertised in tools/list and the A2A card
  even though it dispatched to a _not_supported stub. Now the tool
  appears only when the seller opts in via serve(..., test_controller=).
  No log emitted in either path — the round-4 signals report flagged a
  chatty "Adding automatically" message that does not exist in this
  codebase (likely from an out-of-tree harness wrapper), so this change
  removes the underlying advertising mismatch rather than silencing a
  log we do not own.

Deferred finding (skills / schema, not SDK):
- The retail round-4 validator reported that provide_performance_feedback
  harness runs strip a "feedback" field because the Pydantic-generated
  inputSchema does not advertise it. Confirmed: the
  provide-performance-feedback-request.json spec defines
  performance_index / measurement_period / metric_type / feedback_source
  / idempotency_key / media_buy_id — there is no "feedback" field. The
  hand-crafted stub previously in ADCP_TOOL_DEFINITIONS advertised a
  non-spec "feedback" object; that stub is now correctly replaced by the
  Pydantic-generated schema. Whatever teaches callers to send "feedback"
  (skill prose, example code, or a harness request builder) needs to be
  updated to the spec field names. Not touching skills/ here per scope.

Subject: [PATCH 23/32] fix(webhooks)!: verifier fails closed when raw_body
 missing (adcp#2478)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Upstream AdCP spec PR adcontextprotocol/adcp#2478 tightened the webhook
signature verifier rule from "MAY re-serialize" to "SHOULD NOT
re-serialize", with verifiers that cannot capture raw bytes required to
MUST fail closed. Rationale: re-serializing a parsed payload to
reconstruct the signed bytes silently fails against signers whose output
differs in separator choice, key order, unicode escape policy, or number
formatting — masking signer bugs the verifier should surface.

Our ADCPClient._verify_webhook_signature had exactly that fallback path
at client.py:3307: when raw_body was None, it called json.dumps(payload)
with Python-default spaced separators. Historically this "worked" only
in the coincidental case where the signer also used Python-default
separators; against any compliant signer (httpx json= or JS
JSON.stringify, both compact) it produced false-rejects. After PR #205's
signer fix it produced false-rejects against our own signer too.

Fix
---
- Remove the json.dumps(payload) fallback entirely. When raw_body is
  None, log an actionable error and return False.
- Update docstring to cite adcp#2478 and point at common framework hooks
  for capturing raw bytes (FastAPI Request.body, Flask request.get_data,
  aiohttp Request.read, Express express.raw).
- Existing tests that relied on the fallback now pass raw_body=
  explicitly. Same signature math, just spec-conformant call shape.
- New test_verify_fails_closed_when_raw_body_missing pins the
  fail-closed behavior by signing a real HMAC, omitting raw_body, and
  asserting the verifier raises ADCPWebhookSignatureError. Paired with
  a positive sibling that proves the rejection is specifically about
  missing raw_body, not signature or payload shape.

Audit of the RFC 9421 content-digest path in src/adcp/signing/ — the
parallel trap called out in adcp#2478 is absent here: sign_request
takes body: bytes and client.py:488 passes request.content (httpx's
actual wire bytes), so digest input and wire body are byte-identical
by construction.

BREAKING CHANGE: ADCPClient webhook verification now requires raw_body
to be passed through from the HTTP handler. Callers that relied on the
implicit re-serialize-from-payload fallback will start seeing
ADCPWebhookSignatureError until they plumb the raw body through from
their framework's pre-parse hook. Fix path:

    # FastAPI
    @app.post("/webhook")
    async def hook(request: Request, x_adcp_signature: str = Header(...)):
        raw = await request.body()
        payload = await request.json()  # order matters: read raw first
        result = await client.handle_webhook(
            payload, ..., signature=x_adcp_signature, raw_body=raw,
        )

-        2. Uses raw HTTP body bytes when available (preserves sender's serialization)
-        3. Falls back to json.dumps() if raw_body not provided

             signature: Signature to verify (with or without "sha256=" prefix)
             timestamp: Unix timestamp in seconds from X-AdCP-Timestamp header
-            raw_body: Raw HTTP request body bytes. When provided, used directly

Subject: [PATCH 24/32] test(webhooks): vendor upstream conformance vectors
 from adcp#2478
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pull in the merged test vectors from adcontextprotocol/adcp#2478 which
pinned compact separators as the canonical on-wire form, added vectors
covering whitespace-sensitive keys / nested objects / escaped unicode,
and added the rejection vector that reproduces the Python-default
spaced-separators signer bug.

Changes
-------
- tests/fixtures/webhook-hmac-sha256.json — regenerated from
  https://github.com/adcontextprotocol/adcp/blob/main/static/test-vectors/webhook-hmac-sha256.json
  (14 positive vectors including 2 new, 10 rejection vectors including
  the signer-serialization-mismatch case).
- HMAC_REJECTION_VECTORS loaded alongside the existing positive vectors.
- New test_rejection_vectors_do_not_collapse_to_positive mirrors the
  upstream CI check: for every rejection vector whose claimed signature
  has a well-formed sha256=<hex> shape, verify a correctly-computed
  HMAC over the claimed raw_body does NOT match the claimed signature
  — otherwise the rejection vector silently collapses into a positive
  case and stops catching what it claims to.
- New test_verifier_rejects_upstream_rejection_vectors is the
  behavioral mirror: for every rejection vector with enough context to
  run end-to-end, assert ADCPClient._verify_webhook_signature returns
  False. Together the two parametrizations pin both the math (claimed
  sig is genuinely invalid) and the behavior (our verifier catches it).

Vectors with non-computable rejection shapes (empty/null signature,
wrong length, double-prefix) skip the computational check — they're
documented for verifier implementers but don't have a signature a
correctly-configured HMAC would produce.

Full pytest: 1674 passed / 18 skipped (15 of the new skips are
structural-rejection vectors appropriately declining the computational
parametrization).

From 166aa1b46e63c11eb5438f41a937e8dcd60114a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Brian O'Kelley <bokelley@scope3.com>
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:42:12 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 25/32] fix(webhooks): re-apply compact-separator signer after
 rebase onto 3.0 GA
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After rebasing onto main (which added RFC 9421 webhook infrastructure +
idempotency_key on MCP payloads), the legacy HMAC signer in
src/adcp/webhooks.py was still calling json.dumps(payload_dict) without
compact separators — reintroducing the silent 401 trap from round-4 DX
exploration. Re-apply the separators=(",",":") pin at line 266 and
update the prior docstring reference + the adcp.signing.webhook_hmac
module-level doc to cite adcp#2478.

Test fallout
------------
Conformance tests in tests/conformance/signing/test_webhook_hmac.py and
tests/conformance/signing/test_webhook_receiver.py serialized the wire
body with json.dumps(payload).encode("utf-8") (spaced separators) and
signed separately with get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook(payload=...),
which now produces a compact-separator signature. The wire body and
signed bytes diverged — the exact failure mode adcp#2478 is supposed to
prevent. Swept those call sites to json.dumps(..., separators=(",", ":"))
so body bytes and signed bytes match.

test_verify_fails_closed_when_raw_body_missing: add idempotency_key to
the happy-path payload (now schema-required on McpWebhookPayload).
test_webhook_handling.py imports: drop unused GeneratedTaskStatus and
create_mcp_webhook_payload (the token-kwarg tests were dropped during
rebase — main went with idempotency_key instead of token).

-            or equivalent dict. Must carry ``url`` (``https://`` only) and
-            ``authentication.{schemes, credentials}``.
-        payload: The webhook body. Accepts a Pydantic model (e.g. built via
-            :func:`create_mcp_webhook_payload` / :func:`create_a2a_webhook_payload`),
-            an a2a ``Task`` / ``TaskStatusUpdateEvent``, or a plain dict.
-            Models are dumped with ``mode="json", exclude_none=True``.
-        client: Optional shared ``httpx.AsyncClient``. Recommended in
-            production for connection pooling and egress-policy enforcement
-            (a custom ``httpx.BaseTransport`` is the right place to block
-            SSRF to private IPs — the helper validates scheme but cannot
-            see post-DNS resolution without racing TOCTOU).
-        extra_headers: Merged last. May not override any of
-            ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Digest``, ``Content-Length``,
-            ``Host``, ``Authorization``, ``Signature``, ``Signature-Input``,
-            ``X-AdCP-Signature``, or ``X-AdCP-Timestamp``. Auth and
-            signature-binding headers are sender-owned so the signer and
-            the wire cannot disagree.
-        timeout_seconds: Per-request timeout applied only when the helper
-            creates its own client. Raises ``ValueError`` if set alongside
-            ``client=`` — configure the timeout on the shared client instead.
-        token_field: Opt-in field name for echoing ``config.token`` into
-            the payload body (top-level for MCP dicts, under ``metadata``
-            for ``Task`` / ``TaskStatusUpdateEvent``). Default ``None``
-            disables echo; there is no spec-defined field name, so the
-            caller must pick one the receiver agrees to read.
-
-    Returns:
-        The raw ``httpx.Response``. Caller is responsible for
-        ``response.status_code`` inspection and retry scheduling. For retry,
-        pass the *same, unmutated* payload again — serialization is
-        deterministic so retries produce byte-identical bodies (spec-correct
-        receiver dedup via ``idempotency_key``). Mutating the payload dict
-        between attempts breaks byte-identity; callers who need byte-identical
-        HTTP envelopes across retries (including headers) should use
-        :class:`WebhookSender` and :meth:`WebhookSender.resend`. There is
-        intentionally no ``resend()`` here — the retry contract is "call
-        ``deliver`` again with the same inputs".
-
-    Raises:
-        ValueError: missing ``url``, non-HTTPS URL, control characters in
-            header values, missing / unknown ``authentication`` (use
-            :class:`WebhookSender` for RFC 9421), overriding a reserved
-            header, or setting ``timeout_seconds`` alongside ``client``.
-        DeprecationWarning (fires once): ``authentication`` is a 3.x fallback.
-
-    Security notes:
-        * ``config.url`` is buyer-controlled. The helper enforces HTTPS and
-          rejects control characters but does NOT block private / link-local
-          destinations — wire an egress policy via ``client.transport`` to
-          stop SSRF into your VPC or cloud metadata service.
-        * ``config.token`` sits in the request body, so any receiver that
-          logs bodies retains it indefinitely. Treat the token as a
-          medium-sensitivity correlator, not a long-lived secret.
-        * At ``httpx`` DEBUG log level, ``Authorization`` and
-          ``X-AdCP-Signature`` appear in logs — gate DEBUG in production.

From: Brian O'Kelley <bokelley@scope3.com>

Three P0 blockers surfaced by round-6 storyboard validation on the
AdCP 3.0 GA rebase.

1. IdempotencyStore.capability() now emits the required supported field
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Upstream PR #210 (adcp 3.0 GA regen) made ``adcp.idempotency.supported``
REQUIRED on the capabilities response. ``IdempotencyStore.capability()``
at src/adcp/server/idempotency/store.py:78 was still returning
``{"replay_ttl_seconds": N}`` only, so every agent using the documented
``capabilities_response(idempotency=store.capability())`` pattern
silently emitted a schema-invalid capabilities block. Now returns
``{"supported": True, "replay_ttl_seconds": N}``. Four existing tests
updated to match.

2. adcp-keygen --purpose for webhook-signing keys
-------------------------------------------------
The webhook verifier enforces ``adcp_use == "webhook-signing"`` on the
JWK, but ``adcp-keygen`` hardcoded ``adcp_use: "request-signing"`` with
no override. A user following keygen → publish JWKS → emit webhook got
``webhook_signature_key_purpose_invalid`` on first delivery — the exact
failure mode round-6 DX exploration flagged as a blocker for
discoverability of the new 9421 path. Added ``--purpose
{request-signing,webhook-signing}`` CLI flag (default request-signing
for back-compat) and threaded the value through generate_ed25519 /
generate_es256.

3. Top-level adcp re-exports the new 9421 webhook surface
---------------------------------------------------------
``adcp/__init__.py`` re-exported the deprecated legacy
``get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook`` but NOT the new 9421 entry
points. A coding agent scanning ``dir(adcp)`` for webhook primitives
saw only legacy. Added: ``sign_webhook``, ``WebhookReceiver``,
``WebhookReceiverConfig``, ``WebhookVerifyOptions``,
``WebhookDedupStore``, ``MemoryBackend``, ``LegacyHmacFallback``,
``generate_webhook_idempotency_key``. Also promoted the MemoryBackend /
WebhookDedupStore imports in adcp.webhooks to explicit ``as``
re-exports so mypy treats them as public.

BREAKING CHANGE: IdempotencyStore.capability() return shape changes
from ``{"replay_ttl_seconds": N}`` to ``{"supported": True,
"replay_ttl_seconds": N}``. Callers that byte-compared against the old
shape will need to update their expected value. Required to emit
schema-valid AdCP 3.0 capabilities responses.

Subject: [PATCH 27/32] fix(webhooks,seller,signals): round-6 P1+P2 DX fixes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-6 webhooks DX exploration + storyboard validators surfaced five
polish items across SDK and skills. Bundled together since they all
land on the same branch before round 7.

SDK (src/adcp/signing/webhook_signer.py, src/adcp/webhook_receiver.py,
src/adcp/webhooks.py):
- `WebhookReceiver.receive_sync(...)` — sync wrapper for WSGI callers
  (Flask, Gunicorn sync workers, http.server). Raises a clear
  RuntimeError if called from inside a running event loop rather than
  silently deadlocking.
- `WebhookDedupStore` + `MemoryBackend` re-exported from
  `adcp.webhooks` so users wire up receivers from one import root
  instead of two.
- `sign_webhook` docstring gains a "See also: WebhookSender" pointer
  so callers find the higher-level one-liner before going low-level.

Skills (skills/build-seller-agent/SKILL.md,
skills/build-signals-agent/SKILL.md):
- Seller capabilities example now passes
  `idempotency=idempotency.capability()` — required since
  `adcp.idempotency.supported` became mandatory in AdCP 3.0 GA.
- Seller "Emitting Webhooks" section rewritten around `WebhookSender`
  (RFC 9421) with `generate_webhook_idempotency_key` reuse-on-retry
  rule. Legacy HMAC kept as 3-line deprecation pointer.
- Seller gains a one-paragraph `WebhookReceiver` signpost — first
  teaching surface for buyer-side webhook receiving in any skill.
- Signals skill documents marketplace-first ordering (prior-entry
  chaining into follow-up calls breaks when owned signals come first)
  and expands the `signal_ids` filter tuple from `(source, id)` to
  `(source, scope, id)` where scope is `agent_url` or
  `data_provider_domain` depending on source.

 ## Emitting Webhooks
 
-Sellers emit webhooks to notify buyers asynchronously — no client library call, just an outbound HTTP POST. Use the SDK helpers instead of hand-rolling payload shape or signature bytes.
+Sellers emit webhooks to notify buyers asynchronously. AdCP 3.0 uses RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures as the baseline — use `adcp.webhooks.WebhookSender` (one-liner) or `sign_webhook` for more control.
 
 **When to emit:**
 - Async-approval media buy transitions (e.g., `pending_activation` → `active`, or `→ rejected`)
 - Artifact-ready notifications after long-running operations
 - Delivery reports the buyer subscribed to via `reporting_webhook` on `create_media_buy`
 
-**Build the payload.** Use `create_mcp_webhook_payload(task_id, status, task_type=..., result=..., message=...)` — it matches the `McpWebhookPayload` schema. For A2A transport, use `create_a2a_webhook_payload(...)` instead. There is no dedicated delivery-report helper today; reuse `create_mcp_webhook_payload` with `task_type="get_media_buy_delivery"` and the delivery response as `result`.
-
-**Sign the headers.** Call `get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook(headers, secret, timestamp, payload)`. This sets `X-AdCP-Signature` (HMAC-SHA256 over `"{timestamp}.{compact_json_payload}"`) and `X-AdCP-Timestamp`. The signer serializes with compact separators (`","` / `":"`) to match what httpx emits for `json=`, so POST via `client.post(url, json=payload, headers=signed)` — never hand-serialize the body yourself or the signature will mismatch.
-
-**Retry semantics.** Receivers dedupe on `task_id` (or `operation_id` if you set it). A retry is a byte-identical re-POST: same payload, same signed headers, same timestamp. Don't re-sign on retry.
+**Idempotency keys.** Generate one per distinct event with `generate_webhook_idempotency_key()` and reuse the same key on retry — receivers dedupe on it. A retry is a byte-identical re-POST; don't regenerate the key or re-sign.

+**Legacy HMAC.** `get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook` is 3.x-only and deprecated in 4.0 — use it only when a receiver can't yet verify 9421 signatures. See the `adcp.webhooks` module docstring for the migration path.
+
+**Receiving webhooks.** Sellers that receive webhooks from other agents (audit agents, governance, etc.) should use `adcp.webhooks.WebhookReceiver` — it handles 9421 verification, replay dedup, and legacy HMAC fallback. See the module docstring for a worked example.

Subject: [PATCH 28/32] docs(skills,examples): align webhook + proposal
 examples with real SDK and schema
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-7 validator + webhooks-DX review surfaced one regression and
three DX gaps that caused copy-paste agents to fail fast or teach
non-existent APIs.

Seller skill — Emitting Webhooks:
- Rewrote around actual SDK surface. The prior example used
  `WebhookSender(key_id=..., private_key_pem=...)` + `sender.send(...)`;
  neither symbol exists. Replaced with `WebhookSender.from_jwk(jwk)` +
  `sender.send_mcp(url=, task_id=, status=, ...)` and added `resend()`
  for retries (replays signed bytes under a fresh signature). Private
  key now comes from a webhook-signing JWK, matching what adagents.json
  publishes.

Signals skill:
- Added "Governance Tracks (Optional)" section with `sync_accounts` +
  `sync_governance` stubs. The `signal_marketplace/governance_denied`
  sub-track requires both — prior skill never mentioned them, forcing
  validator to discover the requirement by failure.

examples/seller_agent.py:
- Refine-mode branch of `get_products` now emits proposals with the
  fields proposal.json requires: `proposal_id`, `name`, `allocations[]`
  (each with `product_id` + `allocation_percentage`). Even-splits
  across incoming packages (100 / n) and falls back to a single
  100% allocation on the first product when no packages are sent.
  Seller skill taught this shape in round 5; the example was stale.

AGENT_URL parameterization:
- Seller, generative-seller, creative, signals skills now derive
  `AGENT_URL` from `ADCP_PORT` (defaults to 3001). Lets harness runs
  on 3011/3012 just work without editing the paste.

 ## Emitting Webhooks

Subject: [PATCH 29/32] feat(webhooks): add from_pem and sign_legacy_webhook
 helpers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-7 DX validation surfaced two webhook ergonomics gaps. Both helpers
close a loop the SDK already half-documented but didn't finish.

- WebhookSender.from_pem(pem_path, key_id=..., alg=..., passphrase=...):
  the companion to `adcp-keygen --purpose webhook-signing`. Keygen writes
  a PEM and prints the PUBLIC JWK; until now senders had to either pull
  the private d out of a test vector or drop to `cryptography` directly
  to load the PEM. from_pem accepts a path or raw bytes, handles
  encrypted PEMs via passphrase, and fails fast when the PEM's key type
  doesn't match the declared alg (a previously silent misconfiguration
  that surfaced as a 401 at first delivery).

- sign_legacy_webhook(secret, payload, *, timestamp=None, headers=None)
  returning (signed_headers, body_bytes). The existing
  get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook returns headers only, so callers
  who post with `json=payload` can drift away from the compact-separator
  bytes that were signed. The tuple return makes byte-equality between
  signature input and HTTP body structurally inevitable — callers pass
  `content=body_bytes` and the separator-drift trap is impossible.
  get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook stays for callers who own the
  serialization step; its docstring now cross-references the new helper.

Both helpers are exported from adcp.webhooks and the top-level adcp
package. sign_legacy_webhook shares its HMAC core with
get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook via a private
_compute_legacy_signature helper, so the two surfaces cannot diverge.

Tests cover the new surface across ed25519 and es256, encrypted and
unencrypted PEMs, wrong-passphrase error paths, alg/PEM-type mismatch,
round-trip verification against the legacy HMAC verifier, timestamp
pinning, and byte-equality against httpx's `content=` wire output.

Subject: [PATCH 30/32] fix(harness,server): surface partial/failing
 storyboards, reuse port on rerun, default list_creatives timestamps

- scripts/skill-run.sh: parse the storyboard JSON (via python3) after
  the runner exits and distinguish passing / partial / failing /
  missing-output. Storyboard runner exits 0 even on partial, so the
  process return code alone hid real failures behind a silent PASS.
  PASS and WARN keep exit 0; FAIL (failing or unparseable) exits 1.
  Final log line now names the actual status instead of PASS in all
  cases.

- src/adcp/server/serve.py: set SO_REUSEADDR on the listening socket
  by pre-binding it and handing it to uvicorn via Server.serve(sockets=
  [sock]) for streamable-http, sse, and a2a transports. FastMCP builds
  its own uvicorn.Server internally and does not expose a reuse hook,
  so the MCP HTTP path reproduces the minimal FastMCP setup. Without
  this, rapid reruns hit TIME_WAIT and readiness hangs on last=000000.
  Windows uses SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE to avoid the hijack semantics of
  SO_REUSEADDR on that platform. stdio transport is unaffected.

- src/adcp/server/responses.py: list_creatives_response now fills
  missing created_date / updated_date on each dict creative with
  datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(). Both fields default to the
  same value when neither is set. Caller-provided values are preserved.
  Pydantic model items pass through unchanged. Two new tests cover the
  fill and preserve paths; the existing test_basic is updated to stop
  asserting raw identity (which is no longer true once timestamps are
  injected).

Subject: [PATCH 31/32] fix(webhooks): align deliver() with canonical
 compact-separator on-wire form
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After rebasing onto main (which merged PR #213 adding deliver()), our
compact-separator fix for get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook left
deliver() self-inconsistent: it signed compact bytes via the signer
but POSTed spaced bytes from an inline json.dumps(body_dict).

The test_hmac_auth_signs_posted_bytes invariant on main explicitly
verifies that HMAC(posted_bytes) matches the X-AdCP-Signature header —
so the inconsistency failed CI.

Fix
---
- deliver() now serializes body_bytes with separators=(",", ":"), so
  signer input and transport bytes are byte-identical again.
- test_signed_bytes_match_posted_bytes updated to expect compact bytes
  (was asserting against json.dumps(payload) default — main's test
  pre-dated adcp#2478's canonical-form pin).
- Restore MemoryBackend + WebhookDedupStore re-exports from
  adcp.webhooks, dropped during the rebase.
- Splice sign_legacy_webhook + _compute_legacy_signature back in
  alongside main's new deliver() — both pathways now share the same
  compact-separator serialization core.

Verification: ruff + mypy clean, pytest 1798 passed / 17 skipped.
All main-added tests (A2A comply_test_controller artifacts,
test_webhooks_deliver full suite) pass.

     Byte-equality between signature input and HTTP body is guaranteed —
-    callers POST ``content=body_bytes`` instead of ``json=payload``, so
-    the separator-drift trap that caused silent 401s in every
-    spaced-vs-compact interop is structurally impossible here. This is

-
-    The returned ``body_bytes`` are produced with compact separators
-    (``","``/``":"``) — matching the canonical on-wire form pinned by
-    adcontextprotocol/adcp#2478.
-
-    Args:
-        secret: Shared HMAC secret, as agreed with the receiver.
-        payload: Webhook payload (dict or Pydantic model). Will be
-            JSON-serialized with compact separators.
-        timestamp: Unix timestamp (string or int). Defaults to current time.
-            Pin a value in tests for determinism.
-        headers: Optional existing headers dict. If provided, the signed
-            headers are merged into it and the merged dict is returned.
-            The caller still must POST ``content=body_bytes``.
+    callers POST ``content=body_bytes`` instead of ``json=payload``, so the
+    separator-drift trap that caused silent 401s in every spaced-vs-compact
+    interop is structurally impossible here.
 
-    Returns:
-        ``(signed_headers, body_bytes)``. Hand the headers to
-        :meth:`httpx.AsyncClient.post` and the bytes to its ``content=``
-        kwarg — NOT ``json=payload``, which would reserialize and break
-        the signature.
+    This is a lower-level companion to :func:`deliver` for callers who need
+    to own the HTTP transport themselves (custom auth, pre-configured
+    ``httpx.AsyncClient``, non-httpx clients). For the one-shot "send a
+    webhook" path, prefer :func:`deliver`.
 
-    See also:
-        :func:`get_adcp_signed_headers_for_webhook` — the lower-level
-        headers-only helper. Still useful when the caller owns the
-        serialization step (for example, a framework that emits bytes
-        from a middleware layer).
+    The returned ``body_bytes`` use compact separators (``","``/``":"``)
+    matching the canonical on-wire form pinned by adcontextprotocol/adcp#2478.

+    via ``content=``.
+

+    (``Bearer`` / ``HMAC-SHA256``) and emits a :class:`DeprecationWarning`

+            :func:`create_mcp_webhook_payload` / :func:`create_a2a_webhook_payload`),
+            an a2a ``Task`` / ``TaskStatusUpdateEvent``, or a plain dict.
+            Models are dumped with ``mode="json", exclude_none=True``.
+        client: Optional shared ``httpx.AsyncClient``. Recommended in
+            production for connection pooling and egress-policy enforcement
+            (a custom ``httpx.BaseTransport`` is the right place to block
+            SSRF to private IPs — the helper validates scheme but cannot
+            see post-DNS resolution without racing TOCTOU).
+        extra_headers: Merged last. May not override any of
+            ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Digest``, ``Content-Length``,
+            ``Host``, ``Authorization``, ``Signature``, ``Signature-Input``,

+            the wire cannot disagree.
+        timeout_seconds: Per-request timeout applied only when the helper
+            creates its own client. Raises ``ValueError`` if set alongside
+            ``client=`` — configure the timeout on the shared client instead.
+        token_field: Opt-in field name for echoing ``config.token`` into
+            the payload body (top-level for MCP dicts, under ``metadata``
+            for ``Task`` / ``TaskStatusUpdateEvent``). Default ``None``
+            disables echo; there is no spec-defined field name, so the
+            caller must pick one the receiver agrees to read.
+
+    Returns:
+        The raw ``httpx.Response``. Caller is responsible for
+        ``response.status_code`` inspection and retry scheduling. For retry,
+        pass the *same, unmutated* payload again — serialization is
+        deterministic so retries produce byte-identical bodies (spec-correct
+        receiver dedup via ``idempotency_key``). Mutating the payload dict
+        between attempts breaks byte-identity; callers who need byte-identical
+        HTTP envelopes across retries (including headers) should use
+        :class:`WebhookSender` and :meth:`WebhookSender.resend`. There is
+        intentionally no ``resend()`` here — the retry contract is "call
+        ``deliver`` again with the same inputs".
+
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: missing ``url``, non-HTTPS URL, control characters in

+            header, or setting ``timeout_seconds`` alongside ``client``.
+        DeprecationWarning (fires once): ``authentication`` is a 3.x fallback.
+
+    Security notes:
+        * ``config.url`` is buyer-controlled. The helper enforces HTTPS and
+          rejects control characters but does NOT block private / link-local
+          destinations — wire an egress policy via ``client.transport`` to
+          stop SSRF into your VPC or cloud metadata service.
+        * ``config.token`` sits in the request body, so any receiver that
+          logs bodies retains it indefinitely. Treat the token as a
+          medium-sensitivity correlator, not a long-lived secret.
+        * At ``httpx`` DEBUG log level, ``Authorization`` and

Subject: [PATCH 32/32] style(webhooks): fix E501 line-too-long in
 sign_legacy_webhook docstring example
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CI ruff (stricter than the local pre-commit hook's per-file scope) flagged
one docstring example at src/adcp/webhooks.py:338 as 104 chars. Split the
``headers={**signed, ...}`` dict onto its own line — same call, reads
identically, fits in 100.
