The core stamped `ably-dotnet/<version>` as its RSC7d1 family identifier. At the Pub/Sub package split (PDR-091b) it becomes `ably-pubsub-dotnet/<version>`, registered in ably-common#361 as a versioned `sdk` entry. The flip is the point: with the 1.x maintenance branch keeping the old identifier, the string alone partitions legacy traffic from new-package traffic, so no version correlation is needed to tell them apart. Updates the four spec files that assert on the token: the shared realtime connection-parameter specs, the shared REST HTTP client specs, and the Unity EditMode/PlayMode specs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ports the ably-js `packages/shared/side.ts` contract (ably-js#2293,
ably-java#1233).
`src/Ably.PubSub.Side/Side.cs` is a single shared source file compiled
into both door assemblies by a `<Compile Include>` item rather than
published as a third package - the .NET analogue of ably-js's
`shared/side.ts` and ably-java's `shared/.../Side.java`. It holds both
side identifiers, with the load-bearing-suffix warning, and
`WithSideAgent`, which:
- builds a new `Agents` dictionary from the caller's entries, so the
caller's own dictionary instance is never mutated;
- applies the side entry last with a null value, so the flag is
versionless (`Agent.AddAgentIdentifier` already emits a bare token
for a null version) and wins a collision on its own key.
`PubSubServer` (`CreateRealtimeClient` / `CreateHttpClient`) and
`PubSubDevice` (`CreateClient`) each take the three shapes the core
constructors accept - key or token string, `ClientOptions`,
`Action<ClientOptions>` - and return the concrete `AblyRealtime` /
`AblyRest`. One device door by design: device-side connectionless
operations stay available on that client, so there is no device HTTP
door.
Both doors are strong-named in every configuration, so a consumer of
the signed core never mixes signed and unsigned Ably assemblies, and
both target the core's `netstandard2.0;net6.0;net7.0`. Server also gets
an old-style `net462` head mirroring the core's, so the package has a
`lib/net46` asset; there is deliberately no `net462` Device.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`ably.pubsub.device.nuspec` and `ably.pubsub.server.nuspec` carry the same authors/licence/icon/repository metadata as the core's, and each declares an exact pin on the core (`[$version$]`) per target-framework group - the NuGet analogue of ably-js's exact `peerDependencies`, so a consumer can never resolve two core versions. Server ships net46 (from its .NET Framework head), netstandard2.0, net6.0 and net7.0; Device ships the same minus net46. `_Package_Create_NuGet` packs core, then device, then server, matching the publish order stack PR 3 will need. The `[$version$]` substitution inside a dependency version attribute is marked TODO to verify on the release dry run - no nuget.exe or Mono locally to check it. Stack PR 3 adds the pre-flight that asserts the packed pin equals the version. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Thirteen specs in Ably.PubSub.Tests.DotNET/PubSub/PubSubPackageSpecs.cs.
They live in the .NET test head rather than Ably.PubSub.Tests.Shared
because Ably.PubSub.Device has no net462 asset, so the shared project
cannot reference it from the .NET Framework head.
What they pin, using the existing MockHttp/FakeHttpMessageHandler
capture for the header and the fake transport factory for the realtime
connection params, so nothing here opens a network connection:
- the `Ably-Agent` header a door-created REST client actually puts on
the wire contains the bare side flag, no versioned form of it, the
versioned `ably-pubsub-dotnet/<version>` family identifier, and not
the other side's flag;
- the same for the realtime connection params from
`TransportParams.GetParams()`;
- caller `Agents` entries survive alongside the flag; a caller entry
under the side's own key is overridden; the caller's own dictionary
instance is untouched;
- null options and a null configure action throw
ArgumentNullException from every door;
- all three overload shapes return the concrete core types;
- the string overload's key-versus-token colon rule.
The identifiers are written out as literals, not read from `Side`, so a
rename of the constant fails here instead of passing silently.
Verified by mutation: giving the flag a version fails 8 of the 13.

Replaces the "added in the next PR in this stack" placeholders in the 2.0-in-development note with install commands and the door snippets for both sides, and states plainly that the doors are the supported entry points and Ably.PubSub.Core is internal.

🌐 Web query:
.NET SDK both TargetFramework and TargetFrameworks properties set build behavior
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
When developing with the.NET SDK, you should specify either TargetFramework or TargetFrameworks, but never both in the same project file [1][2]. If both properties are present, the.NET SDK explicitly ignores the singular TargetFramework property and uses the plural TargetFrameworks property [3][4]. This behavior is designed to prevent ambiguity, as TargetFrameworks indicates that the project is intended to target multiple frameworks [5][6]. Best Practices: 1. Single Target: Use TargetFramework (e.g., <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>) [5]. 2. Multiple Targets: Use TargetFrameworks with a semicolon-delimited list (e.g., <TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>) [6]. 3. Avoiding Conflicts: If your build infrastructure (such as a Directory.Build.props file) sets one property and your project file sets the other, the project-level definition may cause conflicts. It is standard practice to unset the unwanted property explicitly (e.g., <TargetFramework />) if a global default must be overridden [2]. Using both properties simultaneously is discouraged because it can lead to unexpected build behavior, issues with tool integration (like dotnet publish), and project reference errors [7][1][2]. In some cases, MSBuild may even trigger warnings or errors to enforce this separation [1].

Set TargetFrameworks in the Mono condition.
The .NET SDK ignores TargetFramework when TargetFrameworks is set. The Mono build therefore targets netstandard2.0;net6.0;net7.0, instead of only netstandard2.0. The same issue exists in src/Ably.PubSub.Server/Ably.PubSub.Server.csproj.

Remove both reserved side identifiers before stamping the door-owned identifier.
WithSideAgent clones and preserves caller-supplied Agents entries, then adds only the selected identifier. A caller can pass Agents["ably-pubsub-server"] to PubSubDevice.CreateClient, causing the device client to emit both reserved identifiers. This violates the device/server classification contract. Remove both reserved keys before adding identifier.

Preserve the selected ClientId when the client connects.
PubSubDevice.CreateClient(_clientOptions) clones _clientOptions, and ClientOptions.Clone() copies ClientId by value. ConnectClickHandler later updates only the original _clientOptions. The connection path reads ClientId from the cloned options retained by _ably, so it ignores the value entered in the UI.
Create or recreate _ably through the device door after setting ClientId, including its dependent channel and presence wrappers when replacing the client.

Verdict: the door design is right, requesting changes before merge. The shared Side contract, the copy-then-stamp semantics, the versionless flags and the literal-string agent tests are all what I'd want, and they match the reference side.ts exactly. But the realtime half of the agent contract may not be reaching the server at all, the Package build is very likely broken by the CS8002 change, and the Unity sample regressed. Two public API changes also landed in the last commit without being in the description.
Must resolve before merge
- The realtime side flag may never reach Ably.
TransportParams.GetParams()puts the agent string on the websocket URL under the keyAbly-Agent. Spec RTN2g, ably-js (params.agent) and ably-cocoa (forKey:@"agent") all useagent. If the realtime service only readsagent, every realtime client created through either door is unclassified on the wire, and only the REST path is actually classified. The PR notes this and defers it, but this PR's purpose is a wire flag that billing reads, so it cannot be deferred past this PR. Please confirm with the realtime team which keys the server accepts. IfAbly-Agentis not one of them, fix the key in the core onmainfirst (1.x has the same gap), then bring it into the stack. The sandbox specs here would then be the right place to assert the classification end to end, not just the round-trip. - The Package build is very likely broken now. The last commit removes the
CS8002suppression fromIO.Ably.rulesetso a signed-versus-unsigned mix fails the build._Package_Build_Allbuilds withConfiguration=ReleaseplusPackage=true, soTreatWarningsAsErrorsis on and both core heads are signed. Both referenceIO.Ably.DeltaCodec, and that submodule's csproj has noSignAssembly, so the core will emit CS8002 against it and fail. That suppression was almost certainly there for this exact case. Nothing on this branch has run the Package target (it isworkflow_dispatchonly). Please dispatchpackage.ymlagainstintegration/split-2-door-packagesbefore merging, and either sign DeltaCodec under Package or keep the suppression scoped to that one reference. - Unity sample regression.
AblyMain.cscreates the client at line 58 and sets_clientOptions.ClientIdfrom the input field at line 99. Before this PR that worked because the core held the options by reference. NowPubSubDevice.CreateClientclones, so the ClientId typed in the UI is silently ignored. CodeRabbit's finding is correct.unity/README.mdcarries the same sample. Create the client afterClientIdis set, or recreate it in the connect handler. - ably-common#361 is still open (approved, not merged). Agreed that this PR does not merge before it does.
Public API changes that need to be in the description
- All five public
AblyRealtime/AblyRestconstructors are now[Obsolete]. That is a public API policy decision for 2.0, and it is only mentioned in the last commit's message. It is defensible given "Core is not intended for direct use", but it should be stated in the PR body and recorded as a decision, since every direct consumer of the core, including Ably's own layered SDKs, now builds with warnings. The message also repeats the "will be rejected once MAU-based pricing is live" claim I raised on #1333; please verify that against PDR-091b or soften it. ClientOptions.Clone()is new public API on the core. Fine as a design, but it is a hand-maintained member-wise copy. I checked it against every public and internal property onClientOptionsandAuthOptionstoday and it covers all of them, including the write-only host fields andNowFunc. It will rot the first time someone adds a property. Please add a reflection-based spec that sets a distinct non-default value on every public settable property, clones, and asserts equality, so a missed property fails a test rather than silently dropping a door consumer's setting.- Opposite-side flag supplied by the caller. CodeRabbit suggests stripping
ably-pubsub-serverwhen the device door stamps, and vice versa. The current behaviour matches ably-js'soptionsWithSideAgent, which also does not strip. I would keep parity here and raise it as a cross-SDK question rather than diverge in one SDK.
Verified
- Bare token:
GetAgentComponentStringreturns just the product for a null or empty version, soAgents[flag] = nullyields the bare flag with no core change. The mutation check in the description (versioning the flag fails 8 specs) is a good guard. - The door names in the README, the XML docs and the Obsolete messages all match the actual API.
- Solution membership is right: Device and Server in the main, NetStandard and Package solutions,
Server.NETFrameworkin the main, Package and NetFramework solutions, and no Device in the NetFramework solution. The net46 CI legs builtServer.NETFrameworkand passed. - Exact
[$version$]pin: the author verified substitution with nuget.exe 6.3.1, which settles open item 3. PubSubDoorSandboxSpecsis taggedtype=integration, which is whatCreateIntegrationTestFilterselects.
Smaller points
- The description is stale in two places: it says both doors are strong-named "in every configuration" (the last commit made it Package-only) and "13 new specs" (there are more now). Worth a refresh so the description is what reviewers read.
nuget/ably.pubsub.device.nuspecandnuget/ably.pubsub.server.nuspecinherit the pre-renamegithub.com/ably/ably-dotnetURLs from #1333. Same fix there.- The Device csproj comment says ".NET Framework is not a supported device target". A WPF or WinForms app on .NET Framework 4.6.2+ is a device target and gets the
netstandard2.0asset, exactly as MAUI does. Reword so nobody reads it as unsupported. - The SDK-style Device and Server projects are registered in all three solutions with the legacy project type GUID
{FAE04EC0-...}, while Core uses the SDK-style{9A19103F-...}. Visual Studio tolerates it, but it is inconsistent and each solution has a different project GUID for the same project. NoWarn 618is applied to both whole test heads. That also hides every other[Obsolete]use in tests (FallbackHostsUseDefault,Request), so a future obsoletion will not be noticed there. Acceptable for now, but note it.- The merged Unity plugin is written to
Ably.PubSub.Device.dllwhile one of its merged inputs is also an assembly namedAbly.PubSub.Device. The monodis check in the commit message covers the type surface, but please confirm there are no duplicate assembly-level attributes (CommonAssemblyInfois compiled into both inputs) in the committed dll. - The Features check fails with the same
sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentityerror as #1333, and the one green run in the stack is the one that flipsrepository-nameback toably-dotneton the PR 3 branch. That flip should not land.

Second PR in the PDR-091b split stack. Stacked on #1333 (
integration/split-1-core), which is its base, so the diff shows only this PR's changes. Reference: ably-js#2293 (packages/shared/side.ts, the contract this ports), ably-js#2297 (versionless flags) and ably-java#1233.Supersedes the door-package half of the declined-shape #1330, whose door classes, argument guards and XML docs are reused, re-based onto the new core.
What this PR does
Family identifier flip.
Agent.csstampsably-pubsub-dotnet/<version>instead ofably-dotnet/<version>. The flip is the point: the 1.x maintenance branch keeps the old identifier, so the string alone partitions legacy traffic from new-package traffic without correlating versions. Registered in ably-common#361 as a versionedsdkentry. Four spec files updated (shared realtime connection-parameter specs, shared REST HTTP client specs, Unity EditMode + PlayMode specs).Shared side contract —
src/Ably.PubSub.Side/Side.cs,internal static class SideinIO.Ably.PubSub.Internal. A single.csfile pulled into both door assemblies with a<Compile Include>item rather than published as a third package: the .NET analogue of ably-js'spackages/shared/side.tsand ably-java'sshared/.../Side.java. It holds:DeviceAgentIdentifier/ServerAgentIdentifier, both here so the naming scheme changes in one place, carrying the load-bearing-suffix warning verbatim — on API-key auth the realtime system grants the MAU exemption by matching an agent entry ending in-server, and an identifier not yet in the registry is classified by that suffix alone, so renaming either without preserving its suffix silently reclassifies every client the package constructs;WithSideAgent(ClientOptions, string), which builds a newAgentsdictionary from the caller's entries and sets[identifier] = nulllast. Caller entries survive (a layered SDK keeps its attribution); the side wins a collision on its own key (which side the package declares is the package's to state, not the caller's to redefine); the caller's own dictionary instance is never mutated.nulloptions throwsArgumentNullExceptionnaming the door's parameter rather than failing vaguely deeper in the core.Configure(Action<ClientOptions>), since the core clients have no such constructor overload.Ably.PubSub.Server(netstandard2.0;net6.0;net7.0, assemblyAbly.PubSub.Server, namespaceIO.Ably.PubSub.Server,ProjectReferenceto the core):PubSubServer.CreateRealtimeClient(...)→AblyRealtimeandPubSubServer.CreateHttpClient(...)→AblyRest, three overloads each (key-or-tokenstring,ClientOptions,Action<ClientOptions>). The string overload usesnew ClientOptions(keyOrToken), so the core's own colon rule does the key-versus-token disambiguation.Ably.PubSub.Device(same TFMs minusnet462, decision 5b):PubSubDevice.CreateClient(...)→AblyRealtime. One door by design — device-side connectionless operations (history, presence reads, token requests,Request) are available on the returned client, so there is deliberately no device HTTP door. The API-key overloads are kept on purpose (PDR-091: device-side API keys stay allowed at launch; enforcement is server-side).Both doors are strong-named with
IO.Ably.snkin every configuration, not just the package one, so a consumer of the signed core never mixes signed and unsigned Ably assemblies; both haveGenerateDocumentationFile, StyleCop +stylecop.json+IO.Ably.ruleset, linkedCommonAssemblyInfo.csandGenerateAssemblyInfo=false, matching the core.Ably.PubSub.Server.NETFrameworkis an old-style head mirroring the core's, so the Server package has alib/net46asset.Packaging.

If Presence re-entry requirement change for 1.1 #361 is reshaped in review, mirror it here.TransportParams.GetParams()sends the agent under the keyAbly-Agent, while spec RTN2g names the parameteragent. This PR does not change that key and the specs assert on whatever key the core currently uses, so they do not pre-empt the answer. Plan step 14 asks for this to be confirmed against RTN2g separately; if it is a latent bug it should be fixed onmainfirst so the 1.x maintenance line gets it too.[$version$]inside the dependencyversionattribute is unverified locally — nonuget.exeand no Mono on this machine. nuget.exe documents replacement tokens as applying to the whole nuspec, and Cake'sNuGetPackis givenVersion = version, so it should substitute; there is aTODO(verify on the release dry run)comment in both nuspecs. PR 3 adds the pre-flight that asserts the packed pin equals the packed version, which is where this gets proven.Ably.PubSub.Server.NETFrameworkis unverified locally (no Mono/MSBuild here; CI coversnet462). It is a csproj plus the sameCompileincludes as the SDK-style head, referencingAbly.PubSub.Core.NETFramework, and is registered in the main, Package and NetFramework solutions.CreateRealtimeClient(string)andCreateClient(string)cannot disableAutoConnect, so constructing one in a unit test would open a real websocket — the flakiness CodeRabbit flagged on PubSub packages split and related documentation #1330. They share the exact code path that is tested (new ClientOptions(keyOrToken)thenWithSideAgent), the colon rule is covered through the HTTP door, and realtime stamping is covered through the action overload with a fake transport. Noted in the spec file.WithSideAgentassigns onto the caller'sClientOptionsinstance rather than a copy, replacing onlyAgents. There is noClientOptions.Clone()in the core, and adding one would put a core change on the critical path (ably-java#1233 had to fix itscopy()for exactly this). The caller's ownAgentsdictionary instance is still never mutated, which is the part that matters for reuse. Documented on the method. Say the word if a copy is wanted instead.IO.Ably.PubSub.Internal.Side— the same pattern as ably-java's duplicatedSide; harmless if both packages ever meet in one project, since the type isinternal.Agent.PlatformRuntimestill recognises only .NET 6 and 7, so .NET 8/9/10 apps reportdotnet-standard.
