fix(trogonstack-nats): clarify Core NATS and JetStream channels - #115
Correct wildcard, request-reply, and reserved-subject guidance to match NATS semantics.
Define one channel contract for Core NATS, JetStream, stream ownership, and management readback.
Add subject fixtures, a validator, and CI coverage for the NATS skill.
Show AsyncAPI only as channel and operation fragments, and declare streams and consumers as NACK resources, so Kubernetes is the one owner of JetStream configuration.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation, skill content, and a CI validation script only; no runtime application or infrastructure behavior changes.
Overview Reframes the nats-design-subject skill from subject-hierarchy design to NATS channel contracts that explicitly separate Core NATS vs JetStream, channel kinds (RPC, live signal, durable event/work), tenancy, permissions, migrations, and single-owner stream/consumer provisioning.
Adds concrete artifacts and enforcement: AsyncAPI channel fragments, NACK JetStream manifests, a channel-contract reference, tagged nats-subjects fixtures, and a validate-subjects.mjs script wired into validate-plugins CI. Marketplace/plugin metadata descriptions are updated to match the broader scope.
Tightens reference guidance across patterns, JetStream, security, and anti-patterns—correct wildcard semantics, client-generated _INBOX for request-reply, reserved $JS/_INBOX permissions, and softer claims about performance/segment limits in favor of project conventions and benchmarks.
Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit dc42b3b. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
The NATS design skill now covers channel contracts across Core NATS and JetStream. It adds example AsyncAPI and NACK resources, updates subject and delivery references, and introduces a validator for tagged subject examples that runs in the plugin validation workflow.

Summary
Define channel contracts and examples plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/SKILL.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/channel-contract.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/gateway-asyncapi-fragments.yaml, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/nack-jetstream.yaml, plugin description manifests and marketplace entries
The skill and channel contract describe channel kinds, routing, permissions, ownership, and management readback. AsyncAPI and NACK examples define gateway channels and JetStream resources. Plugin descriptions now cover this broader design scope.
Update subject and delivery guidance plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/anti-patterns.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/jetstream.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/patterns.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/security.md, plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/references/use-cases.md
The references revise wildcard examples and matching guidance. They also update subject depth and casing conventions, permission examples, scaling criteria, and consumer-delivery guidance.
The CLI validates subject syntax and parses tagged Markdown, YAML-like fixtures, and legacy fixtures. The workflow runs it against the skill directory. The README documents local validation.
This change is documentation and validation tooling only. Several examples and guidance statements are still inaccurate and could mislead users designing NATS channels. The fixture validation also has gaps. Fix these before relying on the guidance.

Explanation
The title names the plugin scope (trogonstack-nats) and the main change: clarifying Core NATS and JetStream channel guidance. The changeset rewrites the nats-design-subject skill around Core NATS vs JetStream channel design, and the summary and objectives both center on that boundary. The 'fix' type is a slight mismatch because most changes are documentation rewrites, but the title still reflects a real, primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the PR's goals: correcting wildcard, request-reply, and reserved-subject guidance; defining one channel contract for Core NATS and JetStream; adding fixtures, a validator, and CI coverage; and moving JetStream configuration into NACK resources. The changeset includes the reframed skill, the new channel-contract reference, NACK and AsyncAPI fragments, the validate-subjects.mjs script, and the CI workflow update, so the description matches the changes.

source subject transform that captures only the transformed output.

- Around line 394-395: Update the Regional Dashboard examples so their subject
filters match the region in the third token: use two leading single-token
wildcards before each region and retain the trailing multi-token wildcard.
- Line 330: Update the sensor subject examples to document separate filters for
four-token subjects and timestamped subjects in the documented five-token
format; ensure each filter matches the intended subject shape.

- Line 236: Update the “US customers” example so its label matches the
`events.*.us-east.>` filter by identifying it as US East only; if the example is
intended to cover all supported US regions, include a filter for each supported
region instead.

@plugins/trogonstack-nats/skills/nats-design-subject/SKILL.md:
- Line 136: Update the subject-filter guidance in the NATS design instructions
to require disjoint subjects across streams in the same account, without an
exception for intentional overlap. Document sourcing or mirroring as
alternatives for copying stream data; retain the existing work-queue and
consumer-routing guidance.
- Line 165: Clarify the migration guidance around Nats-Msg-Id: describe its
deduplication as limited to a stream and its duplicate window, not as
migration-wide idempotency. Note that dual publishing across streams can deliver
both copies and publishing both subjects to one stream can suppress the new-path
copy; require consumer-side idempotency when both paths can trigger the same
operation.

ackPolicy and maxDeliver. Ensure the chosen duration prevents unacknowledged

- Line 170: The fence parser currently treats any line starting with three
backticks as a closing fence; update the inFence handling to track the opening
fence character and length, and close only on a fence using the same character
with at least that length and only trailing whitespace. Preserve the remaining
block parsing behavior.
- Line 200: Update the `--root` discovery filter in `validate-subjects.mjs` to
include `references/subject-fixtures.yaml` in subject validation while
continuing to exclude unrelated YAML files; alternatively, add an explicit
`--file` invocation for that fixture to the validation workflow.

Correct the wildcard examples that did not match their subjects, keep derived and delivery subjects outside the source stream, and require disjoint streams in an account.
Set ackWait on the NACK consumer, match closing fences to their opening fence, and validate subject-fixtures.yaml in CI.

Keep the plugin README unchanged in this pull request. The skill documents its own scope and validation.

Tag the filter example in the skill with nats-subjects so the validator checks the stream and consumer filters.
