Volva's contract paraphrase round (thread 01KS4DTCW8CV) surfaced five
ambiguities; three are real contract-text gaps and addressed here.
1) tags/archived/name defaulting was inconsistent across prose, INV-002,
and STEP 6. open_questions said "defaulting to sensible None/empty",
INV-002 said "populated from the response item shape", STEP 6 said
`item.get("tags", []) if "tags" in item else None` (which collapses
absent and explicit-null into the same None branch while letting an
explicit [] pass through). Tightened to: tags is always list[str]
defaulting to [] for absent/null/empty in list items; archived is
always bool defaulting to False; name remains str | None (the only
field where None is a meaningful value). create_session always sets
list-only fields to their fixed defaults (name=None, archived=False,
tags=[]) instead of None to keep the dataclass shape uniform.
2) The include_archived_query test said "URL has no include_archived
param OR explicit false". STEP 2 prescribes "ADD include_archived='true'
iff include_archived" — the OR-clause weakened the test against the
prescribed behavior. Tightened to: default (include_archived=False)
asserts NO include_archived param at all, not an explicit false.
5) metadata's populated semantics: INV-001 said "populated from the
201 response", STEP 5 said body.get("metadata", {}) — two valid
readings (trust the spec vs defensive default). Aligned to the
defensive shape: INV-001 + INV-002 now explicitly state "defaults
to {} when absent" as spec-drift tolerance.
Volva flags #3 (exception .body sensitivity — truncation reduces
size not sensitivity) and #4 (assert for runtime validation — Python
-O disables) reviewed and kept as-is. Both are intentional carryovers
from issue #1's precedent: exception .body is for caller debugging
bound to 1024 bytes (caller's responsibility to not log raw); assert
chosen for fast-path validation, trading -O robustness for normal-mode
speed.
Drift check still clean — amendments don't touch the pinned issue
body, so prd: hashes remain valid.
