sayfirst-contract-stub

A scriptable, non-authoritative fake of the control plane contract.

It exists so that a client can be exercised without a daemon: it answers the routes the binding declares, from answers a test writes into it, and it decides nothing. Nothing it returns is a decision of this control plane, and no deployment installs it to obtain one — it is installed by the stub extra of sayfirst-contract and it belongs in a test environment.

What it is good for: proving that a client renders an answer as it was given, that it exits on the code it published, and that it refuses a peer it did not verify. What it is not good for: any claim about what the control plane would decide. For that, the conformance replay (sayfirst-conformance) drives a real server against the published scenarios.
