Reject duplicate members in Conway and Dijkstra set encodings even when the optional tag 258 wrapper is absent.

Preserves pre-Conway permissive decoding and adds regression coverage for untagged transaction, witness, guard, and set values.


Summary by cubic

Rejects duplicate members in Conway and Dijkstra set encodings even when the optional tag-258 wrapper is absent.

Bug Fixes

  • Previously only tagged sets were checked; untagged arrays now fail at decode with "duplicate member in set".
  • Applies the stricter check across transaction bodies, witness sets, guards, and invalid-transaction indices in both decoders.
  • Preserves pre-Conway permissive decoding; only Conway and Dijkstra decoders enforce the new behavior.

Written for commit c681f1e. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Duplicate members are now rejected when decoding untagged as well as tagged set encodings.
    • Conway and Dijkstra transaction inputs, collateral, reference inputs, witnesses, credentials, and related sets now consistently fail decoding when duplicates are present.
    • Added an option to always validate set duplicates, including untagged arrays.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds CheckForDuplicatesAlways for tagged and untagged set encodings. Conway and Dijkstra CBOR decoders now use this check for transaction fields, witness fields, guards, sub-transactions, and invalid-transaction indices. Tests now expect decoding to fail when untagged arrays contain duplicate members.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c681f

Conway and Dijkstra decoding now rejects duplicate members in targeted untagged set encodings. The remaining low risk is misleading API documentation and incomplete regression coverage for legacy conditional set validation behavior.

Also assert the conditional method remains permissive.

This test proves that CheckForDuplicatesAlways() rejects an untagged duplicate. It does not protect CheckForDuplicates() from accidentally changing its legacy behavior. Add an assertion for the conditional method using the same fixture.

Proposed assertion
 	setType := cbor.NewSetType([]uint64{1, 2, 1}, false)
+	assert.NoError(t, setType.CheckForDuplicates())
 	assert.ErrorContains(t, setType.CheckForDuplicatesAlways(), "duplicate member in set")

Narrow the CheckForDuplicatesAlways contract comment.

ledger/conway/conway.go preserves duplicate tolerance for vkey witnesses, bootstrap witnesses, native scripts, and Plutus data. Therefore, Conway does not require this check for every set encoding. Describe this method as an opt-in check for fields whose protocol requires duplicate rejection.

Proposed comment update
 // CheckForDuplicatesAlways rejects duplicate members regardless of the
-// optional tag-258 wrapper. Conway and later decoders require this for all
-// set encodings.
+// optional tag-258 wrapper. Callers should use it for fields that require
+// duplicate rejection in both tagged and untagged encodings.
