Changes

Rewrites CLAUDE.md from scratch on latest main (v4.0.1) using the v1.17.0 generating-claude-md skill spec, reducing it from 760 lines to 135.

The v1.17.0 spec drops Project Overview as an intentionally absent section because language, tech stack, and platform version are all in auth0/build.gradle (the authoritative source), so restating them only creates drift. The file now leads with Project Structure, then Boundaries and Security inline, followed by lazy pointers to six references/ offload files.

Specific changes:

  • CLAUDE.md: 760 lines down to 135; adds Working Principles preamble; corrects CI command to testReleaseUnitTest jacocoTestReleaseUnitTestReport lintRelease (matching test.yml); corrects minSdk 26, Java 17, Robolectric 4.15.1, Mockito 5.14.0 from actual build.gradle; removes stale management/ package references (removed in v4)
  • AGENTS.md: uses @./CLAUDE.md agent-files import syntax for Gemini CLI and Codex CLI compatibility
  • references/: six new files (commands.md, testing.md, code-style.md, git-workflow.md, pitfalls.md, docs-update.md) loaded on demand only

Testing

Documentation-only change with no production code modifications. Reviewers can verify by confirming the CI command matches .github/workflows/test.yml and dependency versions match auth0/build.gradle.

  • This change adds unit test coverage
  • This change adds integration test coverage
  • This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language or why not

- Line 112: Update CLAUDE.md at line 112 to scope explicit visibility modifiers

Good call. Added a note that jacocoTestReleaseUnitTestReport can be skipped for local runs — CI always runs the full command. Fixed in 13825e0.

- Provide both callback and `suspend` variants for every async public method (Java consumers need callbacks)
- Declare explicit visibility modifiers and return types on all public declarations (`-Xexplicit-api=strict` — CI fails on implicit visibility)
- Use specific exception types (`AuthenticationException`, `CredentialsManagerException`, `DPoPException`) — never bare `catch (Exception e)`
- Update `README.md` and `EXAMPLES.md` in the same PR when changing public API, configuration, or integration patterns

Another point to add Examples.md should contain sample for both callback, coroutine and Java

Added — the rule now explicitly requires Kotlin callback, coroutine, and Java samples for every async method. Fixed in 13825e0.

**DPoP (RFC 9449):** Opt-in. `DPoPKeyStore` manages an Android Keystore-backed key pair; nonce retry on 401 is handled transparently in `OAuthManager`.

## 2. DPoP nonce expiry — missing retry on 401

Server DPoP nonce expiry returns 401 + `DPoP-Nonce` header. Ensure the retry path in `OAuthManager` is covered by a test mocking 401-then-200 with a new nonce. Missing it means all DPoP requests fail after nonce refresh.
