Migrate spec docs and tooling from plexapi-dev-docs#119
Conversation
…dev-docs - Add contributor docs: api-contract.md and sdk-generation-strategy.md - Add docs/endpoints.md generated from plex-api-spec.yaml - Add validation/diff/reference generation scripts adapted for YAML - Add package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, and spec-validate CI workflow - Update README with links to live docs and canonical repos Note: spectral lint is included as a script/ruleset but not run in CI because the current spec triggers a known spectral/nimma crash on server-variable objects.

- Remove null examples that crash Spectral's oas3-schema validation (UserPlexAccount, UserProfile schemas) - Add missing global tags: Authentication, Plex, Users - Fix example types to match their schemas: - string examples for playQueueItemID, X-Plex-Platform-Version, verificationCode - array examples for device, sort, channelsEnabled, entitlements - enum value casing for subtitles (Burn -> burn) - Change photo/videoResolution pattern to allow multi-digit values (^^d[x:]\d$ -> ^\d+[x:]\d+$) - Fix url parameter format from non-standard 'url' to 'uri' - Replace nested Guid id example with a single string example - Fix playlist Policy.value example from empty string to integer 0 Validation results: - pnpm spec:validate: passes (196 paths, 51 schemas) - pnpm spec:lint: 0 errors, 113 warnings (warnings are pre-existing) - pnpm spec:diff: no breaking changes Fixes PLE-43
- Remove server-variable fields that swagger-parser's bundled OpenAPI 3.1 schema rejects (valid per spec, but the bundled schema has a typo: 'descriptions' instead of 'description'). - Switch validate-spec.mjs from SwaggerParser.dereference back to SwaggerParser.validate now that the spec passes strict validation.

- Around line 1-38: The workflow "name: Validate canonical OpenAPI spec"
currently relies on default permissions; add an explicit minimal permissions
block at the top of the workflow YAML (adjacent to the existing name/on keys)
such as "permissions: contents: read" to restrict access, ensuring the jobs
(including the "validate" job and its steps like "Validate OpenAPI spec" and
"Check generated reference is up to date") run with least privilege.
- Around line 13-24: The workflow uses mutable tags for third-party actions
(actions/checkout@v4, pnpm/action-setup@v4, actions/setup-node@v4); pin each
action reference to its immutable commit SHA instead (e.g., replace
actions/checkout@v4 with actions/checkout@<commit-sha>, pnpm/action-setup@v4
with pnpm/action-setup@<commit-sha>, and actions/setup-node@v4 with
actions/setup-node@<commit-sha>) by looking up the exact commit SHA from each
action's GitHub repo/releases and updating the yml entries accordingly so the
workflow uses fixed SHAs.
In `@scripts/openapi-diff.mjs`:
- Around line 11-28: The getBaseSpec function is vulnerable to command injection
because it interpolates the unvalidated ref into a shell command; fix it by
switching from a shell-invoking execSync call to a non-shell form (e.g.,
child_process.execFileSync or spawnSync) and pass git and its arguments as an
argument array instead of a single interpolated string, and additionally
validate/sanitize the ref (for example allow only a safe pattern like
alphanumerics, slashes, dots, dashes, and underscores) before using it; update
the getBaseSpec implementation to call git using execFileSync('git', ['show',
`${ref}:plex-api-spec.yaml`], {...}) (or equivalent) and reject or escape refs
that don't match the allowed pattern to eliminate injection risk.
- Around line 19-25: The current check that looks for stderr.includes("Path
'plex-api-spec.yaml' does not exist") || stderr.includes("Invalid object name")
and then calls process.exit(0) silently makes the CI step pass when the baseline
spec is missing; change this so the step fails by default and only skips when an
explicit allow flag is set: modify the branch that detects the missing-baseline
case to log an error (include the stderr) and call process.exit(1) unless a
clear opt-in env var (e.g. ALLOW_MISSING_BASELINE or SKIP_MISSING_BASELINE) is
present, and if that env var is set keep the current informational log and
exit(0) (or continue), ensuring the missing-baseline behavior is now explicit
and not a silent CI pass.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value
One might consider explicit permissions for enhanced security posture.
Whilst the workflow functions admirably, I note with respect that it relies upon default permissions. Best practices suggest explicitly declaring minimal required permissions, typically contents: read for such validation workflows.
This is, of course, an optional refinement rather than a pressing concern.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
I humbly suggest pinning GitHub Actions to commit SHAs for enhanced security.
If I may be so bold, the static analysis tool has raised a pertinent security consideration. The workflow presently references actions by tag (e.g., @v4), which, whilst convenient, does present a theoretical supply-chain vulnerability should a tag be moved.
The security-conscious approach would be to pin to specific commit SHAs, thus ensuring immutability.
🔐 Proposed enhancement for supply-chain security

Command injection vulnerability in git command construction.
I must respectfully draw your attention to a most concerning matter on Line 13. The ref parameter, derived from process.argv[2], is interpolated directly into the shell command without proper validation or escaping. A less-than-scrupulous individual might exploit this by providing a malicious argument such as "origin/main; rm -rf /".
Whilst I acknowledge this is a development script, good form dictates we guard against such misadventures.

Avoid silent CI pass when the baseline OpenAPI spec is missing
In scripts/openapi-diff.mjs, if git show origin/main:plex-api-spec.yaml fails with a missing-file or invalid-ref error, the script logs an info message and exits with process.exit(0), so the “Dry-run breaking-change detection” step in .github/workflows/spec-validate.yml will pass while skipping the check entirely. Consider failing the step (or making it conditional via an explicit “allow missing baseline” mechanism) so future PRs can’t inadvertently bypass breaking-change detection.
