… API Adopts the OpenFeature provider conformance suite in the OFREP provider. No new infrastructure. flagd serves the OFREP API on port 8016 alongside its own protocols, and flagd-testbed's compose file already publishes it, so the OFREP provider runs against the existing testbed, seeded with the same canonical flag set, driven through the same launchpad control API as the flagd suites. Running two providers against one backend is the point of a cross-provider conformance suite: a difference in the results is a difference an application would see when it switches provider. tests/e2e/flagd_container.FlagdContainer would have been the natural thing to reuse and is not importable here -- a package's tests are not part of its distribution -- so tests/tck/testbed.py drives compose directly. What it duplicates is deliberately minimal: compose up, read two mapped ports, poll /readyz. This is a concrete instance of the "no shared containerised-backend helper" gap the TCK's README records. Two capabilities, both on the strength of a line of provider code rather than of a green run: OBJECT and STRICT_NUMERIC_TYPING. The same two the Go and Java OFREP adoptions reached independently, from the same architecture. Every omission is a fact about the provider. OFREPProvider is stateless -- it holds a requests.Session and a rate-limit timestamp, and nothing else survives between evaluations. It does not override initialize, so it inherits AbstractProvider's, which is `pass`, and it never emits: `_on_emit` is not called anywhere in the provider. So EVENTS, STALE and CONFIGURATION_CHANGE have nothing behind them, and UNAVAILABLE_INIT is false in the strong sense -- a provider pointed at a closed port reaches READY, because the SDK's registry dispatches PROVIDER_READY around an initialize that does nothing. events.feature and lifecycle.feature are gated at feature level and skip with their reasons; 24 of the 29 scenarios run. @lifecycle, which lands on the TCK branch this is stacked under, would also be withheld once it is available here: nothing contacts the backend before the first evaluation, so initialisation has no outcome to observe. That capability was split out of EVENTS precisely so a stateless provider can decline it accurately, and this is the case it was split out for. One scenario is marked xfail(strict=True): boolean-flag requested as an Integer. OFREP is untyped on the wire -- the request carries no type and the backend returns the JSON value regardless -- so the whole type check is the provider's, and it is isinstance(value, int), which bool is a subclass of in Python. The value True comes back with reason STATIC and no error code where the specification requires the code default and TYPE_MISMATCH. The SDK client type-checks the same way, so this is the provider-side half of open-feature/python-sdk#619 and fixing one half is not enough. Strict, so the marker fails the suite once it starts passing rather than lingering as a lie. Recorded as a finding: POST /start returns before the backend serves the flag set. The control API specifies that /start reseeds flag state; it does not specify that it returns only once that state is being served, and flagd-testbed's launchpad returns as soon as flagd answers /readyz, which is roughly 40ms before its file sources are in the flag store. The flagd suites never see this because both resolvers block inside initialize until the stream is up or the ruleset has synced, absorbing the window. A stateless provider is the first adopter with no initialisation to hide a backend's warm-up behind, and its first evaluation lands squarely in the gap -- reported, before the fix, as FLAG_NOT_FOUND on every flag. SettledControl closes it by delegating to HttpControl and then polling the public OFREP endpoint until the flag set is actually served. It manipulates nothing and weakens no scenario, but "reseeded" and "serving" should be the same instant in the control API contract, and until they are this belongs in the adoption. 23 passed, 5 skipped, 1 xfailed.

Clean up testbed resources on every startup path.
Line 168 calls testbed.start() before the try block. If DockerCompose.start() starts containers and _await_ready() then fails, testbed.stop() does not run. Line 107 also creates _flags_dir, but stop() never removes it.
Put startup inside the try block. Remove _flags_dir in a finally block in stop().

Runs the provider conformance suite against the OFREP provider, pointed at flagd's OFREP API.
Stacked on #411, which adopts the suite for flagd. Part of open-feature/spec#417.
Why OFREP is the interesting second adoption
flagd was the first, and flagd is the provider the suite was written alongside — so it was always going to pass. OFREP is the first adoption where the suite had to describe a provider it was not designed around, and the capability declaration is where that shows:
Two capabilities, and every omission is a fact about the provider rather than a convenience.
No
@events, and therefore no@lifecycleor@stale. OFREP is a stateless HTTP protocol: the provider resolves every flag over the wire and has no connection to lose, no stream to watch, and nothing to announce. It emits no events of its own.That is exactly the case that motivated splitting
@lifecycleout of@eventsin the first place. Before the split, the readiness scenario ran for anything declaring@events— and the SDK synthesisesPROVIDER_READYfor a provider that does not implement state handling, on the reasoning that a provider without it can be assumed ready immediately. A stateless provider would therefore have passed the readiness scenario without demonstrating anything at all. Here it declares neither tag, and those scenarios are reported as skipped with the reason instead of passing vacuously.No
@configuration-change. There is nothing to notice a change with. A polling OFREP client could plausibly declare it; this one does not poll.No
@unavailable. The provider does not perform an initialisation that reaches the backend, so there is no initialisation to fail.The backend
Driven through the same HTTP control API as the flagd suite, since flagd exposes OFREP alongside its other resolvers. That is deliberate: pointing two different providers at one backend means a difference in results is attributable to the provider rather than to the backend, which is what makes the two adoptions comparable.
settled_control.pyexists because a stateless provider exposed a race the flagd adoption could not. With no initialisation to hide behind, a scenario can issue its first evaluation the instantPOST /startreturns — before the seeded flag state is actually being served. That was fixed normatively in the specification (/startmust not return until the seeded state is being served), and this control settles explicitly so the suite does not depend on every backend having adopted that wording yet.Cross-language comparison
The same provider contract, tested the same way, in four languages. Go, Java and Python each declare and pass the same set; JavaScript declares one fewer because
@strict-numeric-typingis unsatisfiable in a language with no integer type — a genuine property of the language, not a gap in the provider.That convergence is the point of the exercise: four independent implementations of one suite agreeing about one protocol is what makes a disagreement meaningful when it appears.
Verified
Twenty-nine scenarios accounted for. The five skips are the
@events,@lifecycle,@stale,@configuration-changeand@unavailablescenarios, each reported with the reason rather than passing — which is the property this whole exercise exists to guarantee, and the one a stateless provider is most at risk of getting wrong.The
xfailis open-feature/python-sdk#619, markedstrict=Trueso it stays visible and un-hides itself automatically when the SDK is fixed rather than being quietly excluded.
