did_plc 1.3.0

High-performance, independent DID PLC Directory client with caching, streaming, and batch processing for Dart/Flutter applications.

Release Note

1.3.0

• feat: MemoryCache takes an optional now callback that supplies the current time for TTL expiry and LRU bookkeeping, defaulting to DateTime.now. Every read of the wall clock inside the cache — the expiry check on get and containsKey, the LRU access timestamps, and the lazy sweep in _cleanupExpired — goes through it, so a test can make expiry deterministic by advancing a controlled clock instead of sleeping. Passing nothing keeps the previous behaviour exactly.
• chore: the expiry predicate moved off the private _CacheEntry into the cache itself, because an entry cannot see the injected clock and would otherwise have kept reading DateTime.now while the rest of the cache read the injected one.

1.2.0

• security: base58BtcDecode now rejects inputs longer than maxBase58InputLength (512 characters) with a CryptoException before decoding. The decoder is inherently O(n^2), so an unbounded input was a denial-of-service vector for any caller decoding attacker-supplied text: a ~512,000-character publicKeyMultibase hidden in a DID document froze a single-threaded isolate for over two minutes. Every legitimate input this package handles (a Multikey is ~48 characters, a base58btc CID similar) is an order of magnitude below the new bound.

1.1.3

• refactor: PlcVerifier.operationCid builds its CID with multiformats' CID.createFromBytes instead of hand-assembling the [0x01, 0x71, 0x12, 0x20, ...] prefix, removing the last independent CID-construction site in this package. The emitted bytes are unchanged.
• perf: hoisted the per-call RegExp literals in OperationValidator and CryptoKey.fromHex to static final fields, so streaming an audit log no longer recompiles the same patterns once per operation.
• refactor: encodeDagCbor now delegates to multiformats' canonical dagCborEncode instead of a second hand-written encoder, removing the duplicate implementation. The CryptoException contract and the encoded bytes for every PLC operation are unchanged.
• chore: bump multiformats to ^1.3.0.

1.1.2

• docs: fixed the broken Advanced Features / Caching / Performance Best Practices examples in the README, which passed a non-existent cachePolicy: argument to the PLC(...) factory. They now inject a cache via the real cacheManager: CacheManager(CachePolicy(...)) form, matching example/cache_example.dart.
• docs: documented the v1.1.0 real-cryptography and operation-building surface in the README (OperationBuilder, DidBuilder, CryptoKey/KeyManager, PlcSigner, PlcVerifier), with a signing/verification example.
• docs: bumped the README install snippet to did_plc: ^1.1.2.
• chore: bump multiformats to ^1.2.0.

1.1.1

• fix: signature verification now contains invalid public keys. A crafted rotation did:key with an off-curve or malformed compressed point made pointycastle throw an uncaught ArgumentError out of the verification API (verifyRawOperation/toEcPublicKey); the point decode is now wrapped so verification fails closed with a CryptoException/invalid result instead of crashing a bulk-verification pipeline.
• fix: DID inputs are validated against the canonical did:plc grammar (did:plc: + 24 base32 [a-z2-7] characters) and rejected if they contain path/query/fragment characters (/ ? # %, whitespace, control), closing a path/query-injection hole where a DID like did:plc:abc/../export?count=1 could redirect a request to a different endpoint and be cached under the crafted key.
• fix: the typed Operation and the legacy CreateOperationV1 now serialize an explicit prev: null for genesis operations, so typed signing/verification and did:plc derivation match the PLC directory's canonical bytes (previously only the raw-map API was correct, and legacy create genesis operations failed verification/derivation for every affected DID).
• fix: replaced dart:io (SocketException/HttpException) with package:universal_io, restoring Flutter web/WASM compatibility.
• fix: 400-error detail maps with non-string values no longer throw a lazy cast error.
• chore: corrected the client User-Agent version.

1.1.0

🔐 Real cryptography, working export & streaming

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Real signing/verification: the previous signing/verification stack was a mock (sha256(message‖keyMaterial‖alg)) that could be forged by anyone holding the public key and was incompatible with the real PLC directory. It is replaced with real ECDSA (secp256k1 + p256), RFC 6979 deterministic k, low-S normalization, DAG-CBOR canonicalization, CIDv1 prev, and correct did:plc derivation. Signatures produced by earlier versions are not compatible; this output is verified against live plc.directory audit logs (D-1/D-5).
• did:key encoding: did:key generation/parsing now uses correct base58btc + multicodec prefixes (previously a 'z' + base64url pseudo-multibase with no multicodec prefix), so output is now compatible with spec-conforming consumers. p256 is supported and the internally-inconsistent Ed25519 handling was dropped (D-4/D-15).

🔧 Fixes

• exportOps works again: /export returns JSONL, but the whole body was passed to jsonDecode, so any account with 2+ operations failed with a spurious NetworkException. Lines are now parsed individually, and exportOpsStream paginates instead of silently truncating at 1000 (D-3/D-18).
• Validator accepts real operations: did:key rotation keys (with colons) are accepted, and the non-spec "rotation key must be in verificationMethods" rule was dropped (D-2/D-14).
• Retries actually fire: the retry predicate is type-based, so connection errors are retried (previously a lowercase substring match never matched the real exception strings); retry logic is unified at the HTTP layer to avoid amplification (D-7/D-13/D-16).
• Streaming: fixed the createBufferedStream deadlock (consumer-driven backpressure), real stream backpressure/concurrency, batch maxWaitTime, and empty-input completion (D-6/D-11/D-12).
• Cache: CachedOperation now writes to the cache (hit rate was permanently 0%), _PLCImpl takes a cacheManager, and purge is lazy instead of a constructor Timer.periodic that kept the process alive (D-8/D-9).
• UTC timestamps in export windows, and various low-severity fixes (immediate-retry, chunk cast, serviceEndpoint cast, 2xx parse) (D-10/D-17).
• exportOpsStream no longer drops operations at a page boundary: the /export after cursor is strictly exclusive, so operations sharing one createdAt could straddle a 1000-op page boundary and be silently skipped. The cursor now rewinds to the last distinct timestamp and de-duplicates the re-fetched trailing operations by CID (a full page sharing a single createdAt throws instead of losing data).
• Validator allows empty verificationMethods: a rotation-key-only plc_operation is valid per the spec, so the "at least one verification method is required" rule was dropped (presence/nullability is still checked).
• doc: exportOps now documents that it returns a single page (max 1000) and points to exportOpsStream for exporting the whole directory.

🧪 Testing

• Added crypto / validator (against real PLC fixtures) / retry / cache / streaming / export tests (with live-gated fixtures) where there were previously none (D-20).

📦 Dependencies

• Bump multiformats to ^1.1.0.
