xtest entry point registries
…t import tdfs.FORCED_SUPPORTS was evaluated at module scope, and its parse rejects any name not in get_args(feature_type). Wherever that parse runs is the moment the set of legal feature names freezes -- at import, that is before pytest_addoption, before pytest_configure, and before any plugin has run. The strictness is right (a typo must not silently leave a skip in place) and so is extensibility; they only conflicted because of when the parse happened. Move it into conftest.pytest_configure, behind tdfs.configure_forced_supports() / tdfs.forced_supports(), with a lazy environment fallback so callers that import tdfs outside a pytest session keep working. A bad name now surfaces as a pytest.UsageError rather than a ValueError escaping through the plugin manager as an INTERNALERROR traceback.
…n empty one conftest's SDK selection defaulted to get_args(tdfs.sdk_type) -- the set of names the suite knows about rather than the set of builds present on disk. parse_sdk_spec routes a bare name through all_versions_of anyway, so the two agreed; ask the dist tree directly, which is the question that was being asked and which keeps agreeing when the name set stops being a Literal. The behaviour change is the empty case. metafunc.parametrize over [] does not collect zero items: empty_parameter_set_mark turns it into one skip per test, so a checkout with nothing installed reported "20 skipped ... got empty parameter set" and exited 0. Measured on a clean tree before this change. That is the same vacuous-green hole sizes_opt_type already guards against a few functions up, so the default path now raises a UsageError naming `otdf-sdk-mgr install`. An explicit --sdks that narrows to nothing is left alone -- that is the caller's own doing. all_versions_of now sorts, so parameter ids and fixtures/bench.py's heads[0] tie-break no longer depend on readdir order.
xtest is consumed by four repos -- opentdf/platform, web-sdk, java-sdk and otdfctl -- and today every one of them has to patch the xtest source tree to add an SDK build or a container format. The three closed `Literal` unions in tdfs.py are the reason: sdk_type, container_type and feature_type are the single source of truth for the parametrized matrix, so a new name is a diff against this repo rather than something a consumer can supply. This adds xtest/registry.py: a small typed registry over three named entry-point groups (otdf.adapters, otdf.containers, otdf.installers), seeded with today's Literal values as built-in defaults. It is discovered once from pytest_configure and is not yet wired into the matrix -- nothing that runs today changes behaviour. Static typing survives the open set, which is the part worth reviewing: the Literals stay authoritative for in-tree code, parametrized values widen to str only where they cross the registry boundary, typo detection moves from import time to collection time with a better message, and the built-in tuples are pinned against get_args() by an offline test so the two copies cannot drift. Literal[...] | str was rejected: pyright collapses it to str and the checking is lost everywhere, not just at the boundary. The acceptance gate is test_registry_units.py::TestOutOfTreePlugin, which builds a real .dist-info with entry_points.txt on sys.path and shows an out-of-tree plugin contributing a container and an SDK without touching the xtest source tree. registry.py deliberately does not import tdfs, so the built-in tuples are duplicated rather than derived; the pin test is what keeps them honest.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds entry-point registries for SDKs, containers, installers, and features. It defers forced-support validation until plugin loading, improves SDK matrix resolution, defines container adapter contracts, adds offline tests, and includes those tests in the workflow.

Comments that describe what the code used to do, or that argue for the change against its predecessor, belong on the PR rather than in the tree: once merged they document a state no reader can see, and they rot the moment the next change lands. Dropped the "that default used to be get_args(tdfs.sdk_type)" paragraph from resolve_sdks, the module-scope-vs-pytest_configure walkthrough in configure_forced_supports, and the "Before: 20 skipped ... exit 0" and "Before DSPX-4794" openers in the unit tests. The invariants those paragraphs were justifying are restated as invariants. Kept the durable rationale: why an empty default parametrization is a UsageError, why all_versions_of sorts, why the pin test is load-bearing, and why forced_supports needs a lazy fallback.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate features before registering a plugin.
Registry.load() checks protocol member presence but not the declared frozenset[str] value. A plugin with features = None is registered. When feature_names() runs during configuration, set(None) raises TypeError instead of the PluginLoadError required for an invalid entry-point contract.
Validate that features is a frozenset containing only strings in Registry.load(), and raise PluginLoadError before register() when it is invalid.

Do not load installer plugins from xtest.
load_all() loads INSTALLERS during every xtest startup. Lines 62-65 state that otdf-sdk-mgr, not xtest, consumes this group.
An installer-only plugin with an import or validation failure can therefore abort xtest collection. Load only SDKS and CONTAINERS here. Let otdf-sdk-mgr load INSTALLERS.

Why
xtest is consumed by four repos —
opentdf/platform,web-sdk,java-sdkandotdfctl— and every one of them has to send a PR against this repo to add an SDK build or a container format. Three closedLiteralunions inxtest/tdfs.pyare the reason:tdfs.pysdk_type:103container_type:112feature_type:117They are the single source of truth for
pytest_generate_tests, so a new name is not a configuration change — it is a diff against a shared repo, reviewed by people who may have no stake in the SDK being added.Precedent that this is a real cost, not a hypothetical one. NanoTDF was removed from xtest in
150e3135("fix: remove NanoTDF tests and support", #366, 2026-01-06): 11 files changed, +22 / −2003. A whole container format lived as a second arm ofcontainer_typeand as branches threaded through the fixture tree, and the only way to stop paying for it was to delete it.otdf-sdk-mgr/tests/test_schema.py::test_removed_nano_container_is_rejectednow exists specifically to stop a second container kind from growing back. That guard is right for the in-tree enum and wrong as a statement about the suite's capabilities: a consumer should be able to bring a container without the suite having to adopt it.What this changes
Nothing that runs today changes behaviour. This is the non-wired half.
xtest/registry.py(new) — a small typed registry over three named entry-point groups,otdf.adapters/otdf.containers/otdf.installers, seeded with today'sLiteralvalues as built-in defaults. Discovery happens once, frompytest_configure. Defines theContainerAdapterprotocol (inspect/tamper/requires_attributes) and a format-agnosticInspection, but nothing consumes them yet.XT_FORCE_SUPPORTSmoves out of module scope intopytest_configure. It was parsed atimport tdfstime and validated againstget_args(feature_type), which is strictly earlier than any plugin could have been loaded. An unknown name also raised a bareValueErrorduring collection; it is now apytest.UsageError.spec/DSPX-4794.md— the design, including the landing order for the wiring that follows.The review question: does static typing survive an open set?
This is the part to argue with. Four mechanisms, none of them "give up and use
streverywhere":Literals stay authoritative for in-tree code. Everything already written keeps exhaustiveness checking and keeps its typos caught by pyright.str, because by construction their domain is not known at type-check time.ValueErrortraceback (it can say which option, and list what is actually registered).BUILTIN_SDKS/BUILTIN_CONTAINERS/BUILTIN_FEATURESare pinned againstget_args()by an offline test, so the two copies cannot drift.Literal[...] | strwas considered and rejected: pyright collapses the union tostr, so it buys the appearance of checking and none of the checking.registry.pydeliberately does not importtdfs— that acyclicity is why the built-in tuples are duplicated rather than derived, and the pin test is what keeps them honest.The acceptance gate
test_registry_units.py::TestOutOfTreePluginbuilds a real.dist-info—METADATAplusentry_points.txt— intmp_path, prepends it tosys.path, invalidates the import caches, and shows an out-of-tree plugin contributing a container and an SDK that the registry then discovers. No monkeypatching of the registry, and no edit to the xtest source tree. If the entry-point story does not actually work, that test fails.A note on the
sdk_specs_optdefaultThe claim going in was that a bare
pytest test_tdfs.pyblows up. Measured on a clean checkout, it does not: it reports20 skippedwithgot empty parameter set for (encrypt_sdk)and exits 0.parse_sdk_specalready routes a bare SDK name throughall_versions_of, so changing the default fromget_args(sdk_type)to the installed set is behaviour-preserving.The real defect is worse than a crash — it is vacuous green. A run with no SDKs installed passes. The fix here raises
pytest.UsageErroron the default path only (an explicit--sdksthat narrows to nothing is left alone, since that is a deliberate request), and names both the side of the matrix that is empty and how to fix it.all_versions_ofalso now sorts, becauseos.listdiris unordered and its output becomes pytest parameter ids.Stacking
Stacked on DSPX-4793 (the
src/xtest/layout and[build-system]), which is not yet onmain. The design inspec/DSPX-4794.mdassumes that layout; the code in this PR deliberately does not, and lands on today's flat layout so it can be reviewed and merged independently. Rebase once DSPX-4793 is in.What was run
