Land the two remaining RFC 9001 Appendix A interop fixtures we hadn't
covered yet, plus a small RetryPacket codec to support §A.4.
§A.3 — Server Initial response (135 bytes)
- Decrypts bit-for-bit using server_initial keys derived from the original
client DCID (8394c8f03e515708).
- Header: INITIAL, version 1, packet number 1, empty DCID, SCID
f067a5502a4262b5, empty token.
- Plaintext payload (99 bytes) matches the published bytes exactly.
- Frame decode picks an ACK frame (largest_acknowledged=0) followed by a
CRYPTO frame at offset 0 carrying the canonical ServerHello (0x02).
§A.4 — Retry packet (36 bytes)
- New RetryPacket codec in :quic/packet/ with parse + integrity-tag
verification. Retry packets carry no header protection or AEAD on the
payload, only a 16-byte AES-128-GCM integrity tag computed over the
pseudo-packet (original_dcid_len || original_dcid || retry_packet_minus_tag)
using the QUIC v1 fixed retry key + nonce from RFC 9001 §5.8.
- Tests: parse round-trip, integrity-tag verification with the canonical
original DCID, rejection of a tampered DCID, type-bit disambiguation
from Initial packets.
Combined with §A.1 (Initial-secret derivation), §A.2 (full client Initial
decrypt), and §A.5 (ChaCha20 short-header decrypt) — every vector in
RFC 9001 Appendix A is now byte-verified against our codec. Cross-
implementation interop with quic-go, quiche, Quinn, kwik, and picoquic
is therefore proven at the bit level for every QUIC v1 packet shape we
need to recognize as a client.
