Defines actors, operations, states, interfaces, errors, limits, and authorization for name collisions. This reference fixes the adoption boundary, failure behavior, and observable evidence while leaving environment-specific limits configurable.
Package status: reference context ready for human review. The contract and test scenarios are complete, but no claim is made that an adopting implementation has passed them.
Decision
For Name collisions, adopt an ownership record separate from the opaque object key. Expose a resource or event contract with stable identity, authorization, validation, idempotency, compatibility, and explicit errors. This api block focuses specifically on behavior and interfaces. This package is a reference contract: the adopting team must choose numeric limits, providers, jurisdictions, and operational owners from evidence in its own environment.
Scope
- The Name collisions actors, inputs, outputs, states, policy or schema versions, and externally visible outcomes required for the behavior and interfaces focus of this api block.
- Primary and alternate interfaces, background work, caches, integrations, support paths, and evidence that can exercise the same boundary.
- Adoption-specific configuration, rollout, recovery, and verification responsibilities needed to apply the reference safely.
Outside this block
- Choosing a universal vendor, framework, jurisdiction, numeric threshold, retention period, or service-level objective for every adopter.
- Claiming that packaged scenarios have run against a downstream implementation or that this reference grants legal, security, or accessibility certification.
Contract
- Authorize against the ownership record for upload, read, preview, share, and delete; possession of a URL or key is not authorization.
- Bound size, count, media type, decompression, processing time, and storage consumption before expensive work begins.
- Keep new or suspect objects quarantined until validation and scanning reach a terminal policy outcome.
- Generate object keys independently of user filenames and prevent filenames, MIME labels, and metadata from selecting executable behavior.
- Document method or event semantics, required fields, conditional behavior, limits, and a machine-readable error vocabulary.
- Reject unknown security-sensitive fields and preserve forward compatibility for explicitly extensible data.
- Define the namespace, canonicalization, Unicode normalization, case sensitivity, reserved names, extension rules, maximum length, and uniqueness authority before comparing user-visible names.
- Resolve concurrent creation atomically with a stable conflict response or deterministic suffix policy, preserve display intent, and test cross-platform export, rename, restore, and eventually consistent listings.
- For the behavior and interfaces variant, enforce this declared boundary: defines actors, operations, states, interfaces, errors, limits, and authorization for name collisions.
Implementation guidance
- Publish contract fixtures and consumer tests before routing production traffic to a new version.
- Model Name collisions inputs, outputs, actors, states, invariants, side effects, and evidence before selecting framework or vendor details.
- Store the applicable Name collisions contract or policy version with material state so migrations, replay, and support decisions remain attributable.
- Introduce the path behind controlled rollout, compare expected and observed outcomes, and keep a tested recovery route until adoption evidence is complete.
Failure handling and safeguards
- Ambiguous processing or ownership leaves the object quarantined; cleanup requires ownership evidence and a recoverable grace period.
- Invalid or contradictory Name collisions state is rejected or quarantined; the implementation never guesses a value that broadens authority or duplicates an effect.
- Retries are bounded and use durable identity; after exhaustion, work reaches an inspectable terminal state with an accountable owner.
Verification and operations
- Test retries, duplicate requests, conditional updates, pagination or resumption, invalid credentials, limits, and dependency timeout.
- Monitor Name collisions success, denial, validation failure, dependency failure, retry exhaustion, and recovery by contract version without sensitive payload dimensions.
- Re-run paired positive and negative fixtures after policy, schema, dependency, migration, or boundary changes and preserve the resulting evidence.
Adoption assumptions
- Names and values in the example are a concrete fixture, not universal defaults; adopters replace them through documented evidence and ownership.
- The adopting system can provide authenticated identity, durable operation or record versions, bounded telemetry, and a controlled path for change.
The executable-looking examples in this package are fixtures and acceptance contracts. Run the collection validator to check structure and metadata, then translate and execute the scenarios in the target repository before recording implementation evidence.
