chore: bump atproto_oauth to ^0.8.0.
atproto_oauth to ^0.8.0.fix: decodeCar validates the CAR header length instead of trusting it. A truncated archive whose header varint claimed more bytes than exist pushed th
decodeCar validates the CAR header length instead of trusting it. A truncated archive whose header varint claimed more bytes than exist pushed the cursor past the end and decoded to an EMPTY map — a truncated repository export looked like an empty repository, silently losing every block. It now throws CarException, the same contract the block-length check already honored.RangeError from deep inside the decoder; it is rejected as a CarException in the varint reader itself, so every caller of it is covered. Length checks are also written as subtractions so a near-maximum length cannot overflow the cursor past its own bounds check.ServiceContext.withAdditionalHeaders, which derives a context from this one's headers plus the given ones instead of replacing them. withHeaders replaces, so every caller adding a single header spread the origin's headers back in by hand — and a spread is key-exact, which leaves a caller's Atproto-Proxy sitting next to the added atproto-proxy. Header names are case-insensitive, so this merges case-insensitively and the added header wins.ServiceContext.headers no longer hands out the context's live internal map. Any holder could write to it, and because a context derived via withHeaders and the clients built on it read the same field, one headers['atproto-proxy'] = ... retargeted every request every one of them made — while headers.remove(...) silently dropped a header a client needs for the rest of its life. The map is now copied at construction and exposed unmodifiable, consistently: previously the same write threw UnsupportedError when no headers had been supplied and succeeded when they had.5xx now reaches a custom RetryStrategy with its true status code. checkStatus funnels 500, 502, 503 and 504 into a single InternalServerErrorException, and the retry layer hardcoded statusCode: 500 when building the RetryContext, so a strategy branching on context.statusCode == 503 could never match.Retry-After / ratelimit-reset sent with a server error is now honored. It was read only on the 429 path, so the wait a 503 asked for was silently dropped.401 provoked by an access token the session has already rotated past no longer triggers a further refresh. Single-flighting only coalesces requests that overlap an in-progress refresh; a request already on the wire with the superseded token 401s after the rotation lands, and each such response used to chain another rotation — spending an unused refresh token and emitting an onSessionUpdated the owner has to persist. The token the failed request actually carried is now compared against the current session, and a stale one is simply retried.RetryConfig is now capped at 60 seconds, matching the "capped exponential backoff" it documents. Uncapped, 2 ^ (attempt - 1) reaches roughly six days by attempt 20.onRefreshSession is now bounded by the context's timeout. It is awaited at the head of every request behind a single flight, so one that never completed stalled every request on the context forever; timeout previously covered only the xrpc call.Challenge.execute no longer exposes its recursion state (attempt, dpopNonceRetryCount, sessionRefreshed) on the public signature, where a caller passing e.g. attempt: 5 corrupted the retry accounting. Challenge is publicly exported; the loop state moved to a private _execute.RetryConfig documented its jitter as 0 ~ 3 while the implementation drew 0 ~ 4 inclusive.One column per quarter.

ServiceContext.actorDid, the DID of the authenticated actor regardless of how the context was authenticated. session is set only for the legacy (app-password) path and oAuthSessionManager only for the OAuth one, so neither answers that on its own and callers were left composing the two by hand. repo is now defined in terms of it, so the two cannot drift.isAmbiguousFailure, a pure predicate reporting whether a caught error leaves it uncertain that the request reached the server. The retry engine already drew this distinction but only exposed it to a RetryStrategy; once retries were exhausted the original error was rethrown unchanged — a TimeoutException or an http.ClientException cannot carry an extra field — so a caller writing records could not tell a safe retry from one risking a duplicate. The retry layer now consumes the same predicate, so the classification callers see cannot drift from the behavior they observe.atproto_core.dart now re-exports TidGenerator from at_primitives, alongside the existing AtUri and NSID re-exports, so a caller allocating record keys ahead of a write does not need a direct dependency on at_primitives.ServiceContext.withHeaders, deriving a context that shares this one's session while carrying its own request headers. Mutable session state now lives in a holder the derived contexts share, so a refresh — including the deduplicated in-flight one — is seen by all of them. Headers belong to the client; the session belongs to the account.feat: added computeRecordCid, which returns the CID a PDS will assign to a record by canonically DAG-CBOR-encoding it and hashing to a CIDv1. This let
computeRecordCid, which returns the CID a PDS will assign to a record by canonically DAG-CBOR-encoding it and hashing to a CIDv1. This lets a caller reference a record before it is written — for example to chain reply references across records submitted in one com.atproto.repo.applyWrites batch.at_primitives to ^1.2.0, multiformats to ^1.3.0, and xrpc to ^1.1.3.feat: added ServiceContext.onSessionUpdated, a broadcast stream that emits the refreshed Session each time an expired access token is renewed. session
ServiceContext.onSessionUpdated, a broadcast stream that emits the refreshed Session each time an expired access token is renewed. session already reflected the new credentials, but nothing told the caller to read it back — and because refresh tokens are single-use, a caller that kept persisting the session it originally passed in stored a spent refresh token, so the next run restored a session that could no longer be refreshed. Mirrors OAuthSessionManager.onSessionUpdated for the legacy (app-password) path; it stays silent on OAuth-backed contexts. Concurrent requests that share one deduplicated refresh emit exactly one event.docs: rewrite the README to document the actual public API — Session/OAuthSession, JWT decoding (decodeJwt/Jwt), the pluggable retry engine (RetryStra
Session/OAuthSession, JWT decoding (decodeJwt/Jwt), the pluggable retry engine (RetryStrategy, RetryConfig, RetryContext, RetryReason, RetryEvent, Jitter), BaseHttpService/ServiceContext, Blob/BlobRef, decodeCar, isValidAppPassword, and the xrpc/multiformats/cbor re-exports — and frame the package as the shared core layer atproto/bluesky build on.example/example.md with a runnable example/example.dart covering RetryConfig/custom RetryStrategy, JWT decoding, Blob serialization, and app-password validation.xrpc to ^1.1.2, at_primitives to ^1.1.1, and atproto_oauth to ^0.5.1.feat!: OAuth requests are now driven by OAuthSessionManager; ServiceContext takes oAuthSessionManager instead of oAuthSession, enabling transparent OA
OAuthSessionManager; ServiceContext takes oAuthSessionManager instead of oAuthSession, enabling transparent OAuth token auto-refresh. OAuth tokens are never JWT-decoded. restoreOAuthSession/OauthSessionExtension removed (opaque tokens). Legacy password-auth Session is unaffected.OAuthSessionManager restores its session lazily — previously every request defaulted to bsky.social, causing spurious 401s.Authorization header (e.g. a service-auth Bearer token) is preserved instead of being overwritten by the session/DPoP token, fixing service-auth flows such as video upload.stream() accepts a service override and a channelFactory, and honors the configured protocol; the use_dpop_nonce retry awaits the nonce write before retrying.DPoPNonceCache.set can no longer crash the app.Retry-After (previously only delta-seconds was honored; a date silently degraded to plain backoff and could retry too early).ServiceContext.service caches the resolved PDS endpoint per access JWT instead of base64/JSON-decoding the access token on every request when the did document has no #atproto_pds service.RetryStrategy (FutureOr<Duration?> nextDelay(RetryContext)). RetryContext exposes the attempt count, failure RetryReason, request kind (query vs procedure), NSID, status code, and the server-provided Retry-After. Implement RetryStrategy for full control over backoff and which failures retry; the default RetryConfig now implements it.POST) is no longer retried after an ambiguous failure the server may already have applied (a timeout after the request was sent, a 5xx, or an inconclusive connection reset), preventing duplicate writes. Queries (GET) and subscriptions still retry as before, and 429/pre-connection network failures still retry for procedures. Set RetryConfig(retryProcedureOnAmbiguousFailure: true) to restore the previous unconditional behavior.fix: unify on the validating NsidConverter; the non-validating NSIDConverter alias is deprecated.
Challenge now retries once after refreshing on a genuine 401, with a pre-emptive refresh when the token is within 30s of expiry (the use_dpop_nonce path is unchanged).Challenge now retries 429 (respecting ratelimit-reset/Retry-After), SocketException, and ClientException, and preserves the XRPCResponse<T> type — previously only TimeoutException and 500 were retried and the type was erased.car_decoder handles variable-length multihash CIDs and raises a typed CarException on truncated input; tag-42 CID links are normalized to {$link: <cid>} so downstream keeps type info, and the triple jsonEncode/jsonDecode round-trip is gone.decodeCar now normalizes plain (non-tagged) CBOR byte strings to {$bytes: <base64>} (standard base64, RFC 4648 section 4, no padding) per the atproto data model, instead of returning raw Uint8List.atprotoPdsEndpoint keeps an explicit port, falls back to the JWT aud when the did document has no #atproto_pds, and guards malformed did documents.Authorization/DPoP; dpop-nonce lookup is case-insensitive.$unknown maps are stripped from the wire JSON.NsidConverter; the non-validating NSIDConverter alias is deprecated.xrpc to ^1.1.0, at_primitives to ^1.1.0, multiformats to ^1.1.0, and atproto_oauth to ^0.4.0.fix: redact accessJwt/refreshJwt in Session.toString() so credentials are not leaked through logs or crash reporters.
