test(events): SEP-3415 conformance matrix and checks, and a fix for webhook grants without expiry - #1284
The MCP Events conformance suite (modelcontextprotocol/conformance#521,
not merged, read at 76fef32dad810143a56819065b286fa0e93a7256) lists 133 graded requirements and 40 excluded ones.
This PR maps every one of them to how FrontMCP meets it, and adds our own end-to-end checks for the ones no test
covered. The suite itself is not run or vendored: its scenarios were read as a list of requirements, and each check is
written in the repository's style against a real server.
Traceability matrix (apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/CONFORMANCE.md): one row per requirement, with what it asks, its
status and the test that covers it, plus the known deviations, the OpenAI dialect, and a list of checks the suite
grades wrongly, to raise on the suite's pull request. The create-event catalog page links to it.
A conformance server (src/main.conformance.ts): the e2e app's events plus test-only events and controls
(src/apps/conformance) that make conditions a healthy server never has: an upstream that fails, skips ahead or
forgets old positions, an event without replay, events offered by one mode only, and revoked access. Timings are
short (heartbeat 400 ms, re-authorization 300 ms, retries 100-400 ms). Environment switches start a second server
without local callbacks, one without the extension, and one that keeps subscriptions in SQLite.
Six conformance specs, grouped by section: discovery, routing headers, poll, push, webhook subscriptions and
webhook delivery. Discovery, poll and webhook subscriptions run over both protocol paths (an initialize session
and stateless 2026-07-28); push reads the SSE body of events/stream frame by frame. Tests with several principals
mint a token for each (another tenant, a revoked reader, a second caller of the same callback).
One SDK fix: events/subscribe with ttlMs: null, on a server whose durable store allows no expiry, failed
with -32603 (Invoke state missing key: "expiresAt"). The flow read the grant through the state's required view,
which treats null as missing; it now reads it as nullable.

Not applicable: the runtime catalog change rows (the event set is fixed at startup, and listChanged is not
declared) and the server identity key rule (a client rule). Known deviations:
events/unsubscribe of a key with no subscription answers {}, as the OpenAI design asks, not NotFound.
Over an initialize session, results carry no resultType (a 2026-07-28 convention), and a request that fails the
method's request schema (no name, no delivery.secret) is answered -32603 by the MCP SDK protocol layer, as for
every method. Under 2026-07-28 both are as SEP-3415 asks.
User-facing change
What changed:
@frontmcp/sdk: a webhook subscription asked for with ttlMs: null is granted no expiry when events.subscriptions.allowNoExpiry and a durable store are configured, instead of failing with an internal
error.
@frontmcp/sdk: new option events.webhook.verification.maxAttemptsPerHost (default 10, as before): how many
callback verifications one host receives per minute. The conformance and events e2e servers raise it, because all
their test receivers listen on 127.0.0.1 and the limit is per hostname since feat(sdk): events/subscribe and events/unsubscribe with stored webhook subscriptions #1274.
New test-only code lives in apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events only.
Browser bundles: +45 bytes for the new option (create() + one tool 1,324,380 → 1,324,425; with WebMcpPlugin
1,331,613 → 1,331,658); budgets re-pinned.
Before → after:ttlMs: null → -32603; now refreshBefore: null, kept across a restart.
frontmcp.dev pages affected (if known): none.
Skills catalog entries updated:frontmcp-development/references/create-event.md (a link to the matrix, and the maxAttemptsPerHost option).
Tests
npx nx test demo-e2e-events: 15 suites, the 9 existing and 6 new conformance-*.e2e.spec.ts.
libs/sdk/src/event/__tests__/event-subscribe.flow.spec.ts: "is none when the subscriptions grant no expiry, and is
stored without one" fails without the fix.

Walkthrough
The PR adds end-to-end conformance coverage for MCP Events, a test server and shared test utilities, and a configurable per-host webhook verification limit. It also updates two browser-bundle byte budgets.
Webhook verification configuration adds a positive per-host attempt limit with a default of 10. The verifier uses the configured limit, and the demo sets it to 1000. Tests and documentation cover the option.
Conformance server and event fixtures apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/src/apps/conformance/*, apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/src/main.conformance.ts
A test server registers conformance events and control tools. Its state supports sequenced changes, replay gaps, failures, retention, and revoked subjects.
Shared conformance test harness apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/e2e/conformance.helpers.ts
Shared helpers start the conformance server and OAuth provider, create clients and requests, read streams, and provide scripted callbacks.
Discovery, polling, and routing checks apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/e2e/conformance-discovery.e2e.spec.ts, apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/e2e/conformance-poll.e2e.spec.ts, apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/e2e/conformance-routing-headers.e2e.spec.ts
Tests cover extension discovery, polling cursors and replay behavior, delivery-mode errors, and routing-header requirements across protocol paths.
Tests cover signed verification and event requests, retries, callback failures and redirects, verification frequency, gap envelopes, and terminated envelopes.
agentfront/frontmcp#1275: Adds event publishing, webhook delivery, retries, and terminated-subscription envelopes covered by this PR's conformance tests.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to af189
Default callback protections remain unchanged, and non-expiring subscriptions still require explicit permission and durable storage. Raising the new limit permits more outbound verification traffic, but callers cannot choose that limit themselves. No introduced security defect was established; deployment-specific settings and test-server isolation remain unverified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — An authenticated subscriber can select a callback destination, but the verification budget is application configuration rather than request input. Raising it increases potential outbound verification traffic toward a destination hostname across callers sharing that verifier. No production deployment using an increased value was established.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Client-selected callback URLs and signing secrets are validated before verification. Verification retains configured callback-prefix exemptions, owner-and-URL proof caching, receiver declaration checks and signed nonce challenges. The changed limit does not replace those controls.
observed — Both verification requests use the existing outbound sender with timeouts and bounded responses. Node execution checks resolved addresses and pins the connection to them; redirects are not followed. Edge execution explicitly permits platform DNS rather than pinning addresses. This runtime distinction predates the PR and remains a deployment-dependent boundary.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Subscription upsert and new-subscription hook rollback are not one atomic transition: upsert writes the record and indexes separately, and hook failure deletes by deterministic subscription ID. Concurrent same-identity requests or interruption can therefore affect recovery. The inspected base-to-head comparison shows this behavior predates the expiry fix; it is not retained as an introduced PR concern.

- Around line 147-165: Replace the fixed 2-second delay in the retry test with a
waitUntil condition that observes at least four event attempts for the
subscription, then retain a short settle delay before resetting
receiver.failNext. Keep the exact four-attempt assertion after settling so the
test also detects any extra attempt.
Review comments at
@apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/e2e/conformance-discovery.e2e.spec.ts:
- Around line 92-96: Update the SSE response handling in the conformance test to
read and incrementally decode chunks until the first complete frame delimiter,
retaining any incomplete tail and ignoring later frames when parsing
`acknowledged`. Reuse the incremental framing approach from `readStream` in
`conformance.helpers.ts` where appropriate, and preserve reader cancellation.
Review comments at @libs/sdk/src/common/metadata/event.metadata.ts:
- Line 137: Update the maxAttemptsPerHost description in the event metadata and
its matching catalog entry to describe a per-host, per-minute
verification-attempt limit, not a request limit; clarify that each
EventCallbackVerifier verify() attempt can send both a well-known GET and a
challenge POST.

…ebhook grants without expiry
Map every requirement of the MCP Events conformance suite (modelcontextprotocol/conformance#521 at
76fef32d) to how FrontMCP meets it, in apps/e2e/demo-e2e-events/CONFORMANCE.md, linked from the
create-event catalog page.
Add a test-only conformance server (main.conformance.ts) with events and controls for a failing,
gapped or forgetful upstream, an event without replay, single-mode events and revoked access, and six
conformance specs (discovery, routing headers, poll, push, webhook subscriptions, webhook delivery)
that run over an initialize session and under 2026-07-28.
Fix events/subscribe with ttlMs: null on a durable store that allows no expiry: the flow read the
null grant through the required state view and failed with -32603.
