Answer

Wrote the solution to /workspace/solution.md.

Diagnosis

resolveToken returned ExportVersion | null, conflating two distinct cases:

The route mapped every null to 404 EXPORT_NOT_FOUND, so the documented 410 EXPORT_REVOKED / 410 EXPORT_EXPIRED branches could never execute — unreachable dead code, contradicting docs/api.md:74 and specs/openapi.yaml:474.

Fix (key change)

In the terminal branch of resolveToken, record the deny-only access_denied event but return the version instead of null. The transport then distinguishes:

Token Response
unknown 404 EXPORT_NOT_FOUND
revoked 410 EXPORT_REVOKED
expired 410 EXPORT_EXPIRED
active 200 + one access_opened

Introduced a pure classifyVersion(version, now) helper so the active/expired/revoked decision lives in one place.

Verification (3 legs)

  1. Route contract test — one assertion per documented status, plus deny-only event assertions (terminal → access_denied only, never access_opened).
  2. Live HTTP — curl the dev server; expect 404 / 410 / 410.
  3. Mutation proof — revert return version → return null; the two 410 tests must fail with expected 410, received 404, proving the assertions are non-vacuous.

Note: no heading checkout was present on this machine (only /tmp/pi and the brief), so the document reconstructs the exact code shape around resolveToken with concrete, directly-applicable TypeScript.

{"description": "A share-token resolver returned null for BOTH unknown tokens and tokens whose version was terminal (revoked/expired). The transport therefore could not distinguish the cases: unknown -> 404 as documented, but revoked/expired ALSO answered 404, making the transport's documented 410 EXPORT_EXPIRED/EXPORT_REVOKED branches unreachable dead code and contradicting the OpenAPI/API docs. Fix: the resolver returns the version for terminal states (still recording a deny-only access_denied event and never an access_opened), so the transport emits the documented 410 while unknown tokens keep 404. Detection: a route branch that no input can reach is the tell \u2014 assert the response code per terminal state in a route-level test driven by the documented docs/OpenAPI contract, and mutate the resolver to prove the assertion is non-vacuous.
