refactor(v6): audit the public API surface and freeze the error taxonomy

[NandanPrabhu]

Summary

Before v6 GA, freeze the public surface so post-GA additions can't happen by accident, and give consumers one predictable error contract across iOS, Android, and web.

• Error taxonomy freeze: added MyAccountErrorCodes (previously referenced in docs but never implemented) and mapped MyAccountError.type onto normalized codes instead of an RFC 7807 URI, preserving the URI on a new typeUri field. Exported six derived code unions (WebAuthErrorCode, CredentialsManagerErrorCode, DPoPErrorCode, MfaErrorCode, PasskeyErrorCode, MyAccountErrorCode) plus an Auth0ErrorCode umbrella, and narrowed each error class's type field from string to its own union. TimeoutError now has a type so it joins the taxonomy.
• Type surface cleanup: removed 4 exports that were never usable by consumers (NativeAuth0Options, WebAuth0Options, NativeCredentialsResponse, SSOCredentialsResponse), deleted the dead/drifted src/exports/ barrel, and added 18 exports for types that already appeared in public method signatures but were unreachable from src/index.ts (client interfaces, Auth0ContextInterface, AuthState, a named Auth0 export, etc.). Net: 122 → 136 exports.
• Renamed DPoPHeadersParams → DPoPHeadersParameters for naming consistency, with a @deprecated alias kept.
• Added a public-surface snapshot test (exact sorted export list) and a taxonomy invariant test so future accidental additions/removals fail CI until deliberately updated — this is the actual freeze mechanism, not just the one-time audit.
• Fixed the broken MyAccountErrorCodes usage in EXAMPLES.md and documented the frozen taxonomy in README.md.

Breaking changes

• MyAccountError.type is now a normalized code instead of an RFC 7807 URI (the URI is preserved on typeUri).
• Each error class's type field is narrowed from string to a specific union — breaks only for code that assigned arbitrary strings to .type, which isn't a supported use.

Test plan

• yarn test — 773 passed, 39 suites
• yarn typecheck — clean
• Manual smoke test of the example app against the new error taxonomy exports

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added platform-agnostic error types, codes, and normalized status information.
  • Added normalized My Account errors while preserving raw RFC 7807 URIs.
  • Expanded public exports, including client interfaces, MFA types, error codes, and a named Auth0 export.
• Documentation
  • Added error-handling, migration, and updated Custom Token Exchange guidance.
• Compatibility
  • Renamed DPoP parameter types with the previous name retained as deprecated.
  • Standardized public interface names without the I prefix.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for error normalization and the stable public API.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK adds typed error-code unions, normalizes My Account errors, expands and freezes the public API surface, and renames the DPoP parameter type while retaining a deprecated compatibility alias. Documentation and tests cover the updated contracts.

Changes

Error taxonomy and normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Typed errors and My Account normalization src/core/models/*, src/core/utils/fetchWithTimeout.ts, src/core/models/__tests__/*, src/platforms/web/adapters/__tests__/WebMyAccountClient.spec.ts	Error classes expose typed normalized codes. MyAccountError maps native codes and HTTP statuses and preserves the raw URI in typeUri. TimeoutError exposes TIMEOUT_ERROR. Tests validate these contracts.
Error handling documentation README.md, EXAMPLES.md	Documentation describes normalized error properties, RFC 7807 handling, and Custom Token Exchange error codes.

Public API contract

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Public barrel and export contract src/index.ts, src/core/models/index.ts, src/exports/*	The public barrel adds error-code types, client interfaces, platform types, React bindings, parameters, and the named Auth0 export. Namespace re-exports now resolve through the main barrel.
Frozen export validation src/__tests__/fixtures/frozenPublicApi.ts, src/__tests__/publicApiSurface.spec.ts, src/exports/__tests__/index.spec.ts	A frozen v6 export list and compiler-based tests verify exact runtime and type export coverage, including equivalence of default and Auth0.

DPoP parameter type migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Renamed DPoP contract and compatibility alias src/types/common.ts, src/core/interfaces/Auth0Client.ts, src/Auth0.ts, src/hooks/*	DPoPHeadersParameters replaces DPoPHeadersParams in public signatures. The old name remains as a deprecated alias.
Platform adapter and bridge updates src/platforms/native/adapters/NativeAuth0Client.ts, src/platforms/native/bridge/*, src/platforms/web/adapters/WebAuth0Client.ts	Native and web adapters use the renamed DPoP type and non-prefixed client interfaces. Runtime behavior remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4e35f

The migration guide has a minor naming error that could briefly confuse consumers about the error-code type versus its constants; correcting that documentation is recommended, but no merge-blocking risk remains.

Inline comments:
In `@EXAMPLES.md`:
- Around line 1005-1023: Update the AuthError switch in the Custom Token
Exchange handler to use the documented emitted codes consistently: replace
unsupported_grant_type with unsupported_token_type and add unauthorized_client
with the corresponding documented disabled-client alert. Ensure the reference
documentation uses the same code set and preserves the existing access_denied
handling.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 720-723: Update the My Account error examples to use the full
opaque A0E-<status>-<numeric> type format: in README.md lines
720-723, change the raw URI example to a value such as A0E-401-0001; in
EXAMPLES.md lines 1845-1859, update the typeUri output to use the same complete
format.
- Around line 673-680: Update the README error-handling guidance to restrict
`type`-based control flow to normalized error subclasses. Clarify that generic
`AuthError` flows, including Custom Token Exchange, should inspect `code` for
OAuth error values, while preserving `code` as the raw platform or wire
diagnostic for normalized errors.
- Around line 684-710: Update the README error-handling example and surrounding
description so it does not call the shown switch exhaustive while it contains a
default branch. Either describe WebAuthErrorCode as supporting exhaustive
handling, or handle every code explicitly and add a never guard; anchor the
change to the WebAuthErrorCode/WebAuthErrorCodes example.

In `@src/__tests__/publicApiSurface.spec.ts`:
- Around line 208-212: Update the test around “exposes the default export under
a named alias” to use the TypeScript checker to resolve the symbols for “Auth0”
and “default”, then assert that their aliased symbols are identical; retain the
existing surface-presence checks only if needed for setup.

In `@src/core/models/MyAccountError.ts`:
- Around line 158-166: Update the MyAccountError parsing logic to read the RFC
7807 parsed.status value before falling back to parsed.statusCode, while
retaining originalError.status as the final fallback for compatibility. Ensure
the resulting statusCode drives ERROR_CODE_MAP/fromStatusCode classification,
and add a regression test covering parsed status 401 with AuthError.status 0.

Section 9 of the v5 to v6 migration guide documents the WebAuthErrorCodes and CredentialsManagerErrorCodes changes, but MyAccountError.type switching from an RFC 7807 URI to a normalized code isn't there. Can you add it, along with the four removed exports?

@subhankarmaiti Good catch — added §11 ("Public API surface freeze & My Account error normalization") to MIGRATION_GUIDE.md covering both: the MyAccountError.type change (RFC 7807 URI → normalized code, with a before/after diff) and the four removed exports (NativeAuth0Options, WebAuth0Options, NativeCredentialsResponse, SSOCredentialsResponse). Also fixed §10's claim that the newly-exported client interfaces "were never exported" — that's no longer true after this PR, so I corrected it in the same edit.
