This devlog entry marks the completion of Step 6.3, introducing generic presentation-surface discovery under XZBT Exhibit Contract 5.3.
Contract 5.3 introduces Part 8 presentation surfaces, allowing exhibits to declare supplementary secondary displays (such as ambient screens, observatories, or cast views) alongside their primary interaction console.
Key additions in this milestone:
- **Catalog Validation:** Added alidateSurfaceCatalog() in src/validation.js, implementing Contract 5.3 §§31.2–31.5 normative validation order (evaluating individual descriptors, discarding malformed entries, and enforcing the single primary invariant).
- **Host Integration:** src/host.js emits the xzbt: '5.3' advisory envelope on hello, tracks contractMinor, and parses advertised surfaces on initial connection and dynamic
egistry.changed notifications.
- **Generic UI Rendering:** src/ui.js dynamically renders discovered presentation surfaces with metadata badges and opening controls.
- **Test Suite:** Added 45 comprehensive automated tests covering all Part 8 malformed surface cases, lifecycle events, and Contract 5.2 backward compatibility, bringing the automated test suite to 88/88 passing tests.
