There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added a comment in 6e3c50c explaining the two-step approach: npm install updates package.json and package-lock.json to pin the new version, then npm ci does a clean reproducible install from the updated lock file. Running npm ci alone would fail because it cannot change a pinned version, and npm install alone leaves behind stale packages.

Epic #69: Improve Quality of Java Code Generator
Context
The file scripts/codegen/java.ts is a TypeScript code generator that reads JSON Schema files from the @github/copilot npm dependency and emits Java source files under src/generated/java/. Its purpose is to replace hand-written Java classes in src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/ and src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/ with auto-generated equivalents.
The current generator produces Java code that is significantly less idiomatic than the hand-written classes it is meant to replace. This prompt describes the required improvements.
Reference files
Before making any changes, read and understand these files:
scripts/codegen/java.ts— the generator to modifysrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/AbstractSessionEvent.java— the hand-written sealed event hierarchy (the gold standard)src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/AssistantMessageEvent.java— example of record-based data payload inside a final event classsrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/SessionIdleEvent.java— minimal event with empty record datasrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/UnknownSessionEvent.java— forward-compatibility fallbacksrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/SessionEventParser.java— manual type-map-based deserializationsrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/ToolDefinition.java— top-level record DTOsrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/Attachment.java— top-level record DTOsrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/SessionConfig.java— mutable config class with fluent setterssrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/ModelInfo.java— mutable bean with fluent setterssrc/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/PermissionRequestResultKind.java— extensible enum pattern (string-backed value type with static constants and@JsonCreator)src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/ElicitationResultAction.java— classic enum with string backing value
Also read .github/copilot-instructions.md for project conventions.
Requirements
1. Use sealed class for the session event hierarchy
The generated SessionEvent.java base class must be declared as:
public abstract sealed class SessionEvent permits
AssistantMessageEvent, SessionIdleEvent, ...
UnknownSessionEvent {The generator must collect all variant class names and emit them in the permits clause. UnknownSessionEvent must always be the last entry.
The hand-written AbstractSessionEvent.java is the reference for this pattern.
2. Use record types for event data payloads
Every event variant's inner Data class must be generated as a Java record, not a mutable bean. For example, ToolExecutionStartEvent should contain:
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public record ToolExecutionStartData(
@JsonProperty("toolCallId") String toolCallId,
@JsonProperty("toolName") String toolName,
@JsonProperty("arguments") Object arguments
) {}Not:
public static class ToolExecutionStartData {
private String toolCallId;
public String getToolCallId() { return toolCallId; }
public void setToolCallId(String toolCallId) { this.toolCallId = toolCallId; }
// ...
}Records are appropriate here because event data payloads are immutable value types deserialized from JSON — they are never constructed by SDK users or mutated after creation.
3. Use record types for RPC params and result classes
The RPC ...Params and ...Result classes generated from api.schema.json should also be records. These are request/response DTOs that are deserialized from JSON and not mutated.
4. Distinguish integer from number in type mapping
The current generator maps both "integer" and "number" to Double. This is incorrect.
- JSON Schema
"integer"→ JavaLong(orIntegerif the schema constrains the range, but default toLong) - JSON Schema
"number"→ JavaDouble
Using floating point for integer values is dangerous and unacceptable. Fix schemaTypeToJava() to distinguish these cases.
5. Use primitive types for required fields, boxed types for optional
The required parameter is already computed in schemaTypeToJava() but not used to inform the Java type. Change this:
- Required
booleanfield →boolean(primitive) - Optional
booleanfield →Boolean(boxed, nullable) - Required
integerfield →long(primitive) - Optional
integerfield →Long(boxed, nullable) - Required
numberfield →double(primitive) - Optional
numberfield →Double(boxed, nullable)
Note: this applies to mutable bean classes only. Records always use boxed types because record components are nullable by default and there is no way to distinguish "field absent from JSON" vs "field present with default value" with primitives.
6. Make event subclasses final
Every generated event variant class must be declared public final class ...Event extends SessionEvent. This cooperates with the sealed hierarchy and prevents accidental subclassing.
7. Reduce fallback to Object
The current generator falls back to Object for:
- Multi-type
anyOfunions with more than one non-null branch - Unrecognized schema patterns
- Untyped schemas
For each fallback site, add a console.warn() logging the schema path and context so that silent type erasure is visible during generation. Do not silently swallow schema information.
Additionally, for anyOf unions of exactly two concrete types where one is string, prefer String over Object — strings are the most common wire-level fallback.
8. Remove dead code
The function generateDataClass (around line 215) appears to be unused — it is not called from generateSessionEvents, generateRpcTypes, or main. Verify this claim:
- Search for all call sites of
generateDataClassinjava.tsand any other files inscripts/codegen/. - If truly dead, remove it entirely.
- If it is used, fix its return type (currently returns an object but is typed as returning
string, cast viaas any).
9. Improve enum generation
Current enums use @JsonValue on a getValue() method but lack @JsonCreator for deserialization. Add a static @JsonCreator factory method to each generated enum:
@JsonCreator
public static MyEnum fromValue(String value) {
for (MyEnum v : values()) {
if (v.value.equals(value)) return v;
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown value: " + value);
}10. Generate Javadoc
- Each generated class must have a Javadoc comment. If the schema provides a
description, use it. Otherwise, generate a sensible default (e.g.,/** The {@code session.idle} session event. */). - Each record component or field with a schema
descriptionmust have a Javadoc comment. - Add
@sincetags based on the current SDK version.
11. Add @JsonInclude(NON_NULL) consistently
The hand-written records use @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) at the class level. The generated code should do the same on all generated types.
Constraints
- Do not modify any hand-written files in
src/main/java/. This task is only about improving the generator. - Do not change the output directory (
src/generated/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/generated/). - Do not change the package name (
com.github.copilot.sdk.generated). - After making changes, run the generator and verify the output compiles:
cd scripts/codegen && npm ci && npx tsx java.ts && cd ../.. && mvn compile -pl . - Run
mvn spotless:applybefore committing. - The generated code must be compatible with Java 17 (the project baseline).
- Jackson 2.x must be able to deserialize the generated records and sealed class hierarchy correctly. Test this by running
mvn verify.

All eleven improvements have been implemented in commit 75e5dba:

… Object fallbacks The code generator (scripts/codegen/java.ts) had two gaps identified during report-card grading against the Epic #69 rubric: 1. Silent Object fallbacks: When schemaTypeToJava() fell back to List<Object> (untyped array) or Map<String, Object> (untyped object without properties or additionalProperties), it did so silently. Added console.warn() at both sites so type erasure is visible during generation, matching the existing warnings for anyOf and unrecognized schema patterns. 2. Missing @JsonInclude(NON_NULL) on outer event classes: The annotation was present on inner data records and RPC records but missing from the SessionEvent sealed base class and all outer event variant classes (e.g., AssistantMessageEvent, ToolExecutionStartEvent). Added the import and annotation to generateSessionEventBaseClass() and generateEventVariantClass(). After regenerating, all 75 session event files and 111 RPC type files were updated. mvn verify passes with 556 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors.

Epic #69, Chunk 1: Replace com.github.copilot.sdk.events with com.github.copilot.sdk.generated
Context
The Java SDK has two parallel sets of session event classes:
- Old (hand-written):
com.github.copilot.sdk.events— 59 files includingAbstractSessionEvent(sealed base), 57*Eventsubclasses,UnknownSessionEvent,SessionEventParser, andpackage-info.java. - New (generated):
com.github.copilot.sdk.generated— 75+ files includingSessionEvent(sealed base with@JsonTypeInfo/@JsonSubTypes), 74*Eventsubclasses, andUnknownSessionEvent.
The generated package is a strict superset of the old package. It covers all 57 old event types plus ~18 new event types from the latest schema. The generated code uses Jackson-native polymorphic deserialization (@JsonTypeInfo/@JsonSubTypes on the base class with defaultImpl = UnknownSessionEvent.class) instead of the manual SessionEventParser type-map.
This chunk migrates the SDK from the old events package to the generated events package, then deletes the old package entirely.
Scope
✅ Change all import com.github.copilot.sdk.events.* → import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.*
✅ Rename type references: AbstractSessionEvent → SessionEvent
✅ Rename inner record type references: FooData → FooEventData (e.g. AssistantMessageData → AssistantMessageEventData)
✅ Rename nested record type references (e.g. ToolRequest → AssistantMessageEventDataToolRequestsItem)
✅ Replace SessionEventParser.parse() calls with direct Jackson ObjectMapper.readValue(json, SessionEvent.class)
✅ Delete the entire src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/ directory
✅✅ Update existing tests and generate new tests to cover the code you are creating and/or changing.
❌ Do NOT modify the com.github.copilot.sdk.json package — it is unrelated to this chunk.
❌ Do NOT modify the com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.rpc package — it is unrelated to this chunk.
❌ Do NOT modify the generator (scripts/codegen/java.ts) — this chunk is about wiring, not generation.
❌ Do NOT add new public API methods or change method signatures beyond what is required for the type rename.

Also read .github/copilot-instructions.md for project conventions.
Detailed migration steps
Step 1: Inventory all consumers
Run this to find every file that imports from the old events package:
grep -rl "import com.github.copilot.sdk.events" src/MUST process every file found. Expected consumers:
Main source (5 files):
CopilotSession.java— heaviest consumer (~36 imports)RpcHandlerDispatcher.java— usesAbstractSessionEvent,SessionEventParser.parse()EventErrorHandler.java— usesAbstractSessionEventResumeSessionConfig.java(injsonpackage) — referencesAbstractSessionEventSessionConfig.java(injsonpackage) — referencesAbstractSessionEvent
Test source (~17+ files):
SessionEventParserTest.java,CopilotSessionTest.java,SessionEventsE2ETest.java,ForwardCompatibilityTest.java,StreamingFidelityTest.java,ErrorHandlingTest.java,CompactionTest.java, and others.
Step 2: Replace base class references
In every consumer file:
| Old | New |
|---|---|
import com.github.copilot.sdk.events.AbstractSessionEvent |
import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.SessionEvent |
AbstractSessionEvent (as a type) |
SessionEvent |
MUST update all usages including:
- Field declarations:
Set<Consumer<AbstractSessionEvent>>→Set<Consumer<SessionEvent>> - Method signatures:
Consumer<AbstractSessionEvent>→Consumer<SessionEvent> - Type parameters:
Class<T extends AbstractSessionEvent>→Class<T extends SessionEvent> - Return types:
List<AbstractSessionEvent>→List<SessionEvent> instanceofchecks- Cast expressions
Step 3: Replace event subclass imports
For each specific event class imported (e.g. AssistantMessageEvent, SessionIdleEvent):
| Old | New |
|---|---|
import com.github.copilot.sdk.events.AssistantMessageEvent |
import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.AssistantMessageEvent |
import com.github.copilot.sdk.events.SessionIdleEvent |
import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.SessionIdleEvent |
| (all other event classes) | (same class name, different package) |
Step 4: Rename inner record type references
The generated events use a different naming convention for inner data records:
| Old inner record name | New inner record name |
|---|---|
AssistantMessageData |
AssistantMessageEventData |
SessionIdleData |
SessionIdleEventData |
ToolExecutionStartData |
ToolExecutionStartEventData |
(pattern: FooData) |
(pattern: FooEventData) |
MUST search for all references to old inner record names and rename them. Most code uses event.getData() without naming the inner type, so the impact should be limited.
Also rename nested types:
| Old nested record name | New nested record name |
|---|---|
ToolRequest (in AssistantMessageEvent) |
AssistantMessageEventDataToolRequestsItem |
CopilotUsage (in AssistantUsageEvent) |
AssistantUsageEventDataCopilotUsage |
TokenDetails (in AssistantUsageEvent) |
AssistantUsageEventDataCopilotUsageTokenDetailsItem |
CompactionTokensUsed (in SessionCompactionCompleteEvent) |
SessionCompactionCompleteEventDataCompactionTokensUsed |
Repository (in SessionHandoffEvent) |
SessionHandoffEventDataRepository |
CodeChanges (in SessionShutdownEvent) |
SessionShutdownEventDataCodeChanges |
HookError (in HookEndEvent) |
HookEndEventDataError |
ElicitationRequestedSchema (in ElicitationRequestedEvent) |
ElicitationRequestedEventDataRequestedSchema |
CapabilitiesChangedUi (in CapabilitiesChangedEvent) |
CapabilitiesChangedEventDataUi |
PermissionCompletedResult (in PermissionCompletedEvent) |
PermissionCompletedEventDataResult |
Error (in ToolExecutionCompleteEvent) |
ToolExecutionCompleteEventDataError |
Result (in ToolExecutionCompleteEvent) |
ToolExecutionCompleteEventDataResult |
Attachment (in UserMessageEvent) |
UserMessageEventData (field within the data record) |
Selection (in UserMessageEvent) |
(check generated equivalent) |
Position (in UserMessageEvent) |
(check generated equivalent) |
Step 5: Eliminate SessionEventParser
The generated SessionEvent base class has @JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, property = "type", defaultImpl = UnknownSessionEvent.class) which means Jackson handles polymorphic deserialization natively.
MUST find all call sites of SessionEventParser.parse() and replace them:
| Old code | New code |
|---|---|
SessionEventParser.parse(jsonNode) |
objectMapper.treeToValue(jsonNode, SessionEvent.class) |
The ObjectMapper MUST be configured with JavaTimeModule and FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES = false (same as the existing SessionEventParser uses internally).
Expected call sites:
CopilotSession.java— indispatchEvent()or message parsingRpcHandlerDispatcher.java— in event dispatching
MUST also remove the import of SessionEventParser from these files.
Step 6: Handle cross-package references
Two files in the json package reference the old events package:
src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/SessionConfig.java— referencesAbstractSessionEvent(in theonEventconsumer field)src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/json/ResumeSessionConfig.java— referencesAbstractSessionEvent
MUST update these to import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.SessionEvent instead and rename the type reference.
Additionally, two old event classes reference json package types:
events.PermissionRequestedEvent→ referencesjson.PermissionRequestevents.SessionContextChangedEvent→ referencesjson.SessionContext
Since these old classes are being deleted (replaced by generated equivalents that define their own inline data records), these cross-references vanish automatically. No action needed — just verify the generated replacements don't import from json.
Step 7: Delete the old events package
After all consumers are migrated:
git rm -r src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/MUST delete the entire directory. Every file in it is either replaced or obsolete:
AbstractSessionEvent.java→ replaced bygenerated.SessionEvent- 57
*Event.javafiles → replaced by 74 generated*Event.javafiles UnknownSessionEvent.java→ replaced bygenerated.UnknownSessionEventSessionEventParser.java→ eliminated (Jackson handles polymorphism)package-info.java→ no longer needed
Step 8: Update and create tests
✅✅ Update existing tests and generate new tests to cover the code you are creating and/or changing.
Specifically:
- MUST update
SessionEventParserTest.javato test Jackson-native deserialization viaSessionEvent.classinstead ofSessionEventParser.parse(). Rename it to something likeSessionEventDeserializationTest.java. - MUST update all test files that import from
com.github.copilot.sdk.eventsto import fromcom.github.copilot.sdk.generatedinstead. - MUST verify
UnknownSessionEventfallback works: deserializing a JSON event with an unknowntypestring MUST produce anUnknownSessionEventinstance, not throw. - MUST verify at least 5 representative event types round-trip through Jackson correctly (serialize → deserialize → assert fields match).
- MUST verify the sealed hierarchy:
SessionEventMUST besealed, each subclass MUST befinal.
Constraints
- MUST run
mvn spotless:applybefore committing. - MUST run
mvn verifyand all tests MUST pass. - MUST NOT leave any references to
com.github.copilot.sdk.eventsanywhere in the codebase after this chunk is complete. - MUST NOT change any generated files in
src/generated/java/— those are auto-generated and should not be hand-edited. - MUST NOT add any new public API methods beyond what already exists.
- The generated code targets Java 17 (the project baseline).
Verification checklist
After completing the changes, verify and mark each item:
-
grep -rl "com.github.copilot.sdk.events" src/returns zero results -
src/main/java/com/github/copilot/sdk/events/directory does not exist -
SessionEventParser.javadoes not exist anywhere -
CopilotSession.javausesSessionEvent(generated), notAbstractSessionEvent -

UnknownSessionEvent(test exists and passes) - At least 5 event types round-trip through Jackson correctly (tests exist and pass)
-
mvn spotless:applyproduces no changes -
mvn verifypasses — all tests green, zero failures

Epic #69, Chunk 3: Wire the Generated RPC Wrappers into the SDK
Context
After chunk 2, the Java SDK has generated ServerRpc and SessionRpc classes in com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.rpc with typed methods for all ~50 RPC methods defined in api.schema.json. However, these wrappers are still not connected to the SDK — nothing instantiates or calls them.
The reference SDKs in copilot-sdk expose these wrappers as public properties:
- .NET:
CopilotClienthaspublic ServerRpc Rpc { get; }andCopilotSessionhaspublic SessionRpc Rpc { get; }. - Node:
CopilotClienthasget rpc()returningcreateServerRpc(connection)andCopilotSessionhasget rpc()returningcreateSessionRpc(connection, sessionId).
The .NET and Node SDKs also route 8 of their internal RPC calls through the generated wrappers instead of calling InvokeRpcAsync/sendRequest directly. The remaining ~43 generated methods are available to end users through the public Rpc property.
This chunk wires the generated wrappers into the Java SDK, matching the reference implementation pattern.
Scope
✅ Add a public ServerRpc getRpc() method to CopilotClient
✅ Add a public SessionRpc getRpc() method to CopilotSession
✅ Migrate internal RPC call sites to use the generated typed wrappers (the 8 methods the reference SDKs route through wrappers)
✅ Expose the full generated RPC API surface to end users
✅✅ Update existing tests and generate new tests to cover the code you are creating and/or changing.
❌ Do NOT modify the generator (scripts/codegen/java.ts) — this chunk is about wiring, not generation.
❌ Do NOT modify the generated files in src/generated/java/ — those are auto-generated.
❌ Do NOT remove the com.github.copilot.sdk.json package — it contains public API types that are still needed.
❌ Do NOT remove hand-written lifecycle methods (createSession, resumeSession, send, getMessages, abort, etc.) — these use RPC methods not in api.schema.json (the "schema gap").
❌ Do NOT break any existing public API signatures.

Also read .github/copilot-instructions.md for project conventions.
Detailed migration steps
Step 1: Add ServerRpc getRpc() to CopilotClient
MUST add a public method that returns the generated ServerRpc instance:
import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.rpc.ServerRpc;
// In CopilotClient:
private ServerRpc serverRpc;
/**
* Returns the typed RPC client for server-scoped methods.
*
* <p>The client must be started before calling this method.
* Use {@link #start()} or set {@link CopilotClientOptions#setAutoStart(boolean)} to true.</p>
*
* @return the server RPC client
* @throws IllegalStateException if the client is not started
*/
public ServerRpc getRpc() {
if (serverRpc == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Client is not started. Call start() first.");
}
return serverRpc;
}MUST initialize serverRpc when the connection is established (in the same place where the JsonRpcClient is created/connected).
Step 2: Add SessionRpc getRpc() to CopilotSession
MUST add a public method that returns the generated SessionRpc instance:
import com.github.copilot.sdk.generated.rpc.SessionRpc;
// In CopilotSession:
private SessionRpc sessionRpc;
/**
* Returns the typed RPC client for session-scoped methods.
*
* @return the session RPC client
*/
public SessionRpc getRpc() {
if (sessionRpc == null) {
sessionRpc = new SessionRpc(rpc, sessionId);
}
return sessionRpc;
}MUST use lazy initialization (matching the .NET ??= pattern and Node's lazy get rpc() getter).
Step 3: Migrate internal call sites to use generated wrappers
The reference SDKs route these 8 RPC methods through the generated wrappers. MUST migrate the equivalent Java call sites:
| RPC method | Current Java code (find this) | New Java code (replace with) |
|---|---|---|
session.model.switchTo |
rpc.invoke("session.model.switchTo", params, ...) |
getRpc().getModel().switchTo(params) |
session.tools.handlePendingToolCall |
rpc.invoke("session.tools.handlePendingToolCall", ...) |
getRpc().getTools().handlePendingToolCall(params) |
session.permissions.handlePendingPermissionRequest |
rpc.invoke("session.permissions.handlePendingPermissionRequest", ...) |
getRpc().getPermissions().handlePendingPermissionRequest(params) |
session.commands.handlePendingCommand |
rpc.invoke("session.commands.handlePendingCommand", ...) |
getRpc().getCommands().handlePendingCommand(params) |
session.ui.elicitation |
rpc.invoke("session.ui.elicitation", ...) |
getRpc().getUi().elicitation(params) |
session.ui.handlePendingElicitation |
rpc.invoke("session.ui.handlePendingElicitation", ...) |
getRpc().getUi().handlePendingElicitation(params) |
session.log |
rpc.invoke("session.log", ...) |
getRpc().log(params) |
sessionFs.setProvider |
rpc.invoke("sessionFs.setProvider", ...) (in CopilotClient) |
getRpc().getSessionFs().setProvider(params) |
For each migration:
- MUST construct the appropriate
*Paramsrecord from the existing inlineMap.of(...)or ad-hoc parameter objects. - MUST use the
*Resultreturn type from the generated wrapper. - MUST preserve existing error handling and CompletableFuture chaining.
- MUST verify the behavior is identical — same RPC method name, same parameters, same result handling.
Step 4: Do NOT migrate lifecycle methods
The following RPC methods are NOT in api.schema.json and therefore have no generated wrappers. MUST NOT attempt to migrate these:
session.create— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.resume— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.send— hand-written inCopilotSessionsession.getMessages— hand-written inCopilotSessionsession.abort— hand-written inCopilotSessionsession.destroy— hand-written inCopilotSessionsession.delete— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.list— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.getMetadata— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.getLastId— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.getForeground— hand-written inCopilotClientsession.setForeground— hand-written inCopilotClientping— hand-written inCopilotClient(note: the generatedServerRpcalso hasping()— both can coexist, matching .NET)status.get— hand-written inCopilotClientauth.getStatus— hand-written inCopilotClientmodels.list— hand-written inCopilotClient(same coexistence asping)session.compaction.compact— hand-written inCopilotSession
These MUST continue using rpc.invoke() directly.
Step 5: Parameter adaptation
When migrating call sites, the existing code often constructs parameters as Map.of("sessionId", sessionId, "requestId", requestId, ...). The generated wrappers expect *Params record instances instead.
MUST construct the correct *Params record for each migrated call site. For example:
// OLD:
rpc.invoke("session.tools.handlePendingToolCall",
Map.of("sessionId", sessionId, "requestId", requestId, "result", result),
Void.class);
// NEW:
getRpc().getTools().handlePendingToolCall(
new SessionToolsHandlePendingToolCallParams(sessionId, requestId, result));MUST verify that the *Params record fields match the parameters currently being passed.
Step 6: Write tests
✅✅ Update existing tests and generate new tests to cover the code you are creating and/or changing.
Specifically:
- MUST add tests verifying
CopilotClient.getRpc()returns a validServerRpcinstance after start - MUST add tests verifying
CopilotClient.getRpc()throwsIllegalStateExceptionbefore start - MUST add tests verifying
CopilotSession.getRpc()returns a validSessionRpcinstance - MUST add tests verifying the migrated call sites still produce the correct RPC invocations (method name, parameters)
- MUST update any existing tests that mock or verify the migrated
rpc.invoke()calls to match the new pattern
Constraints
- MUST run
mvn spotless:applybefore committing. - MUST run
mvn verifyand all tests MUST pass. - MUST NOT break any existing public API — this is purely additive (new
getRpc()methods) plus internal refactoring. - MUST NOT remove any existing public methods on
CopilotClientorCopilotSession— the hand-written convenience methods (e.g.,listModels(),ping(),setModel(),log()) MUST continue to exist alongside the generatedgetRpc()API, matching the .NET pattern where both coexist. - MUST NOT modify any generated files in
src/generated/java/. - The generated code targets Java 17.
Verification checklist
After completing the changes, verify and mark each item:
-
CopilotClienthas a publicServerRpc getRpc()method -
CopilotSessionhas a publicSessionRpc getRpc()method -
CopilotClient.getRpc()throwsIllegalStateExceptionwhen client is not started -
CopilotSession.getRpc()returns a lazily-initializedSessionRpc -
session.model.switchTocall site usesgetRpc().getModel().switchTo() -
session.tools.handlePendingToolCallcall sites usegetRpc().getTools().handlePendingToolCall() -
session.permissions.handlePendingPermissionRequestcall sites usegetRpc().getPermissions().handlePendingPermissionRequest() -
session.commands.handlePendingCommandcall sites usegetRpc().getCommands().handlePendingCommand() -
session.ui.elicitationcall sites usegetRpc().getUi().elicitation() -
session.ui.handlePendingElicitationcall sites usegetRpc().getUi().handlePendingElicitation() -
session.logcall sites usegetRpc().log() -
sessionFs.setProvidercall site usesgetRpc().getSessionFs().setProvider() - Hand-written lifecycle methods (
createSession,resumeSession,send,getMessages,abort, etc.) still userpc.invoke()directly — NOT migrated - Existing convenience methods (
ping(),listModels(),setModel(),log(), etc.) still exist and work - New tests exist for
getRpc()on bothCopilotClientandCopilotSession - Migrated call sites have test coverage verifying correct RPC method names and parameters
-
mvn spotless:applyproduces no changes -
mvn verifypasses — all tests green, zero failures

@copilot Consider this "report card" grading your work in commit a2712a7 . It's a bad report card.
I need at least a "B" for all rows in this table. Many of them are "F".
Please closely analyze this report card, making fixes and running mvn clean verify and getting a clean run before saying the work is ready for my review.
After you are done, I will generate another report card and hopefully I'll see all grades of at least "B". Ideally I want to see straight "A"s!
I know you can do it! You have the know-how the authority!
Report Card: Epic #69, Chunk 3 (Wire Generated RPC Wrappers Into SDK)
Overall Grade: C-
Findings (ordered by severity)
- Major scope miss: 6 of the 8 required internal RPC migrations are still using direct rpc.invoke calls.
- Tool call handling is still direct invoke in CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java
- UI pending elicitation handler is still direct invoke in CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java
- UI elicitation API methods still call direct invoke in CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java
- Session model switch is still direct invoke in CopilotSession.java
- Session log is still direct invoke in CopilotSession.java
- I found no internal sessionFs.setProvider wiring in client code; only generated API exists in ServerSessionFsApi.java
- Session getRpc behavior does not match rubric’s lazy-init requirement.
- getRpc returns a field directly in CopilotSession.java
- SessionRpc is eagerly constructed in constructors/setter in CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java
- Migration is inconsistent: permissions path is only partially moved to wrappers.
- Still direct invoke on success path in CopilotSession.java
- Wrapper used on error paths in CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java
- Test coverage required by rubric is incomplete.
- Session getRpc tests exist in RpcWrappersTest.java and CopilotSessionTest.java
- I found no CopilotClient.getRpc before/after start tests in CopilotClientTest.java
- I found no tests validating migrated internal call sites for method name plus params, beyond standalone generated wrapper behavior tests in RpcWrappersTest.java
Rubric Scoring
| Rubric Item | Grade | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| CopilotClient has public ServerRpc getRpc | A | Present in CopilotClient.java |

| CopilotClient.getRpc throws before start | A | Throws IllegalStateException in CopilotClient.java |
| CopilotSession.getRpc lazy initialization | D | Eager init at CopilotSession.java |
| session.model.switchTo migrated | F | Still direct invoke at CopilotSession.java |
| session.tools.handlePendingToolCall migrated | F | Still direct invoke at CopilotSession.java |
| session.permissions.handlePendingPermissionRequest migrated | C | Mixed direct invoke and wrapper calls at CopilotSession.java and CopilotSession.java |
| session.commands.handlePendingCommand migrated | A- | Uses typed wrapper params in CopilotSession.java |

| session.ui.handlePendingElicitation migrated | F | Still direct invoke at CopilotSession.java |
| session.log migrated | F | Still direct invoke at CopilotSession.java |
| sessionFs.setProvider migrated in client | F | No internal usage found; only generated API in ServerSessionFsApi.java |
| Lifecycle methods remain hand-written direct invoke | A | Still direct invoke in CopilotClient.java, CopilotClient.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java |
| Convenience methods still exist | A | ping/listModels/log/setModel remain in CopilotClient.java, CopilotClient.java, CopilotSession.java, CopilotSession.java |
| Tests for CopilotClient.getRpc (success + pre-start throw) | F | Not present in CopilotClientTest.java |
| Tests for CopilotSession.getRpc | A- | Present in RpcWrappersTest.java and CopilotSessionTest.java |
| Tests verifying migrated call sites method names + params | D | Wrapper unit tests exist, but not internal migrated call-site coverage in RpcWrappersTest.java |
| spotless and full verify | Incomplete evidence | I did not run build/test commands in this review pass |
Open Questions / Assumptions
- Was sessionFs.setProvider intentionally removed from handwritten client flows before this chunk? If yes, rubric should mark that item as not applicable; if no, it is missing work.
- Should getRpc in session be truly lazy per rubric, or is eager caching acceptable for this codebase? Current implementation conflicts with rubric wording.
Short Summary
The branch adds public RPC access points and part of the session-side migration, but it does not complete the core chunk goal of routing the specified internal calls through generated wrappers. The biggest grade reducers are incomplete migration coverage, non-lazy session getRpc, and missing required client/getRpc and migrated-callsite tests.

Now that we have completed the transition to using code generation implemented in the last 14 commits on this topic branch, it is time to modify the agentic workflow that syncs with the reference implementations so that the LLM does not modify the generated code.
The correct way to modify the generated code is to get the necessary changes made in the "@github/copilot@$VERSION" npm artifact, and then re-run the update-copilot-dependency.yml workflow.
The file agentic-merge-reference-impl.prompt.md is the key part of the mechanism that synchronizes the Java SDK with the dotnet and nodejs reference implementations.
Please modify this file, and any other parts of the mechanism, so that code in src/generated/java is ❌❌❌NEVER MODIFIED BY THE AGENTIC WORKFLOW❌❌❌. These files are forbidden.
Be very emphatic. Use lots of all caps and ❌ characters.
Put this guidance in the correct place.
If the agentic sync cannot be completed without touching the forbidden files, fail the agentic sync and include a message explaining what happened. Suggest that the update-copilot-dependency.yml may need to be re-run.

Resolves #69
Reviewer's Guide
The Big Idea
This PR introduces typed, code-generated RPC wrappers for the Copilot CLI JSON-RPC protocol, replacing hand-written
rpc.invoke("method.name", Map.of(...), ...)calls throughoutCopilotClientandCopilotSessionwith strongly-typed method calls likegetRpc().tools.handlePendingToolCall(new SessionToolsHandlePendingToolCallParams(...)).The work spans three layers:
Code generator (
scripts/codegen/java.ts) — a TypeScript script that readsapi.schema.jsonfrom the reference implementation and emits Java record classes (param/result types) and namespace API classes (ServerRpc,SessionRpc, and their sub-APIs likeSessionToolsApi,SessionUiApi, etc.) intosrc/generated/java/.Wiring into production code —
CopilotClientnow exposesgetRpc()returning aServerRpc, andCopilotSessionexposesgetRpc()returning aSessionRpc. Internal call sites inCopilotSession(tool results, permission handling, command handling, elicitation, model switching, logging) are migrated from rawMap.of(...)invocations to the generated wrappers.Ancillary changes — A separate but included commit stream renames "upstream" to "reference implementation" across docs/workflows/scripts to reduce terminology confusion with git's
upstreamconcept. Also fixes a race condition inSessionEventsE2ETestand extracts a sharedTestUtilfor Windows CLI path resolution.The Big Risks
1.
sendExpandedToolResult()bypasses the typed wrapper (HIGH)The code generator types
SessionToolsHandlePendingToolCallParams.resultasString(due toanyOf[string, object]in the schema), but the protocol requires a JSON object (ToolResultObject) for success results. The workaround issendExpandedToolResult()which manually builds anObjectNodeand callsrpc.invoke(...)directly.What to check: Verify the hand-built JSON node in
sendExpandedToolResult()matches what the server expects. This is the one place where the typed wrapper is intentionally bypassed — if it drifts from the protocol, tool results will silently fail.2. Lazy
SessionRpcinitialization andsetActiveSessionId()reset (HIGH)CopilotSession.getRpc()lazily creates aSessionRpcbound to the currentsessionId. WhensetActiveSessionId()is called (e.g., on session resume), it setssessionRpc = nullso the nextgetRpc()call re-creates it with the new ID.What to check: This is a
volatilefield without synchronization — two threads callinggetRpc()concurrently could both seenulland create separate instances. SinceSessionRpcis stateless (just capturescaller+sessionId), this is benign but worth confirming no state is accumulated on the instance.3. Generated code is not checked in via normal review (MEDIUM)
The ~28 generated files under
src/generated/java/are produced byscripts/codegen/java.tsand committed as-is. The generator runs duringgenerate-sourcesMaven phase.What to check: Spot-check a few generated API classes (e.g.,
SessionToolsApi.java,SessionUiApi.java) against the correspondingapi.schema.jsonmethods to confirm the generator is faithful. Look for param/result record constructors matching the JSON schema properties.4.
ElicitationRpcResponseremoved — replaced by generatedSessionUiElicitationResult(MEDIUM)The hand-written inner record
ElicitationRpcResponse(withString action) was deleted and replaced by the generatedSessionUiElicitationResult(with an enumaction). The comparison changed from"accept".equalsIgnoreCase(resp.action())toresp.action() == SessionUiElicitationResult.SessionUiElicitationResultAction.ACCEPT.What to check: Confirm the enum's
fromValue()method handles case-insensitive matching if the server ever sends"Accept"or"ACCEPT". IffromValue()is case-sensitive, this could break elicitation flows.5. Duplicate Javadoc block on
sendExpandedToolResult()(LOW)The method has its Javadoc comment duplicated — the same block appears twice in sequence. Harmless but messy.
Gotchas
The "upstream → reference implementation" rename is interleaved
Roughly half the commits (6 of 14) are about renaming "upstream" to "reference implementation" across docs, workflows, and scripts. These were merged into
mainvia a separate PR (#77) and then merged back into this topic branch. The diff is large but purely cosmetic for those files — no behavioral changes.TestUtiland the Windowswhere.exemulti-result problemOn Windows,
where.exe copilotcan return 4+ candidates. The first hit may be a Linux ELF binary (from VS Code Insiders' embedded Copilot CLI) that causesCreateProcess error=193.TestUtil.findCopilotInPath()iterates all candidates and tries launching each one — this is Windows-specific behavior that doesn't affect Linux (wherewhichreturns one result).Tests now fail instead of skip when CLI is absent
The old pattern was
if (cliPath == null) { return; }which silently skipped. The new pattern usesassertNotNull(cliPath, ...)which fails the test. This is intentional — CI must have the CLI available.ServerRpcis constructed eagerly;SessionRpcis constructed lazilyServerRpcis created once in theConnectionrecord when the client connects.SessionRpcis created lazily on firstgetRpc()call becausesessionIdisn't known at connection time — it's assigned whencreateSession()completes. This asymmetry is by design.The code generator lives outside Maven's Java compilation
scripts/codegen/java.tsis a TypeScript file run vianpx tsx. It's invoked by themaven-antrun-pluginduringgenerate-sources. If the codegen breaks, the build fails at source generation before compilation starts — checktarget/antrun/build-main.xmlfor the Ant target configuration.❌
src/generated/java/is FORBIDDEN for hand-editing (including by the agentic sync workflow)The files under
src/generated/java/must never be hand-edited — not by developers, and not by the agentic reference-implementation sync workflow. The correct way to update them is to trigger theupdate-copilot-dependency.ymlworkflow with a new@github/copilotnpm version, which regenerates all files automatically. Theagentic-merge-reference-impl.prompt.mdandcoding-agent-merge-reference-impl-instructions.mdnow include an ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION block enforcing this rule with a required stop-and-fail procedure if the sync would need to touch generated files.Before the change?
