Eight cross-chain transactions the SDK is perfectly willing to sign, each asserted against the result the ledger records. The point is not the codes themselves but what they are about: an attestation is bytes this library produces, and these are how rippled reports that the bytes describe something other than what the ledger holds. A regression in XChainAttestationSigner that still produced a well-formed signature would pass the happy-path class in TestIXChainAttestation and fail here.

Case Code
Attestation with the direction reversed tecXCHAIN_WRONG_CHAIN
Attestation about a sender the claim id does not name tecXCHAIN_SENDING_ACCOUNT_MISMATCH
Valid signature from a key that is not the claimed signer's tecXCHAIN_BAD_PUBLIC_KEY_ACCOUNT_PAIR
Explicit claim with one attestation of a quorum of two tecXCHAIN_CLAIM_NO_QUORUM
Claim by an account that does not own the claim id tecXCHAIN_BAD_CLAIM_ID
Claim id offering a reward the bridge does not advertise tecXCHAIN_REWARD_MISMATCH
Untagged claim to an account that requires a destination tag tecDST_TAG_NEEDED
Account-creating commit below the bridge minimum tecXCHAIN_INSUFF_CREATE_AMOUNT

Two of these were written wrong first

Both are in comments where they bit, because both are easy to repeat.

XChainClaim.Amount carries the issue of the chain the claim is paid on — the locking chain issuer, not the issuing chain door. Getting it wrong answers tecXCHAIN_BAD_TRANSFER_ISSUE rather than the code under test, which is a confusing way to learn it.

WasLockingChainSend does not only pick a direction. attestationPreflight derives the issue it expects on the attested amount from it (bridgeSpec.issue(srcChain(...))), so flipping the flag on its own makes the attestation a malformed proof, refused in preflight before it reaches the check the test was written for.

What is deliberately absent

tecXCHAIN_PROOF_UNKNOWN_KEY reads like an obvious ninth case and is not reachable: checkAttestationPublicKey answers tecNO_PERMISSION in preclaim first, and the code itself belongs to the branch that filters a batch of attestations, which a single XChainAddClaimAttestation never takes.

path AMM:AMM was the other candidate for this branch and is dropped. TestAMMDelete_EmptyPool already runs the lifecycle — one account creates the pool and withdraws all of it — and running it against devnet moved the hit counters without flipping the cell. Every green path on the dashboard belongs to an entry whose lifecycle ends in an explicit delete transaction (VaultDelete, CredentialDelete, DIDDelete, OracleDelete, MPTokenIssuanceDestroy); the AMM entry disappearing as a side effect of AMMWithdraw does not count. For AMMDelete itself to apply, the pool has to be empty and still on the ledger, which needs deleteAMMAccount to return tecINCOMPLETE, which needs more than kMaxDeletableAmmTrustLines (512, Protocol.h) trust lines on the AMM account. A non-zero balance does not do it — that path returns tecINTERNAL and is marked unreachable. So the cell needs 512+ funded LP holders, and is out of reach here for the same structural reason as the LedgerStateFix cells.

Refactor

The bridge harness moves from TestIXChainAttestation into TestIXChainBridgeBase, now taking a quorum and a witness count, so both XChain classes raise their stand the same way instead of two copies drifting apart. TestIXChainAttestation keeps its private helpers as one-line delegations, so its test bodies are untouched.

Verification

Run Result
Standalone stand, TestIXChainNegative 8 of 8
Standalone stand, TestIXChainAttestation + TestIAMMDeleteAndVote after the refactor 10 of 10
devnet, the new classes 12 of 12
Unit suite 1240 of 1240
XChainBridge on the coverage dashboard 25/45 before, 33/45 after

The eight cells that flipped are exactly the eight above. TestIXChainNegative joins the devnet-coverage default filter; TestIAMMDeleteAndVote does not, because it contributed no cells and that workflow exists for coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation for cross-chain transactions with clearer rejection of invalid attestations, signer and sender mismatches, insufficient quorum, unauthorized claims, incorrect rewards, missing destination tags, and insufficient account-creation amounts.
  • Tests

    • Expanded integration coverage for negative cross-chain transaction scenarios across supported devnet and testnet runs.
    • Consolidated shared cross-chain test setup to improve consistency and reliability.

TestIXChainNegative submits eight cross-chain transactions the SDK is willing to
sign and asserts the result the ledger records: tecXCHAIN_WRONG_CHAIN,
tecXCHAIN_SENDING_ACCOUNT_MISMATCH, tecXCHAIN_BAD_PUBLIC_KEY_ACCOUNT_PAIR,
tecXCHAIN_CLAIM_NO_QUORUM, tecXCHAIN_BAD_CLAIM_ID, tecXCHAIN_REWARD_MISMATCH,
tecDST_TAG_NEEDED and tecXCHAIN_INSUFF_CREATE_AMOUNT. These are the codes that
report an attestation describing something other than what the ledger holds, so
they are the ones that catch a signer regression the happy path cannot see.

Two cases were written wrong first and the node corrected them, which is why the
reasons are in comments: XChainClaim.Amount carries the issue of the chain the
claim is paid on, and WasLockingChainSend also selects the issue preflight
expects on the attested amount.

tecXCHAIN_PROOF_UNKNOWN_KEY is left out on purpose - preclaim answers
tecNO_PERMISSION before it, and the code belongs to the batch-of-attestations
path a single transaction never takes.

The bridge harness moves to TestIXChainBridgeBase, parameterised by quorum and
witness count, so both XChain classes raise their stand the same way.

Verified 8/8 on the standalone stand and 12/12 against devnet; the eight cells
flipped on the coverage dashboard, XChainBridge 25/45 -> 33/45.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes XChain bridge integration helpers and adds eight negative tests for XLS-38 refusal results. Devnet coverage runs the new fixture, and the changelog records the added coverage and setup corrections.

Changes

XChain negative coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared bridge test harness
Tests/Xrpl.Tests/Integration/transactions/TestIXChainBridgeBase.cs, Tests/Xrpl.Tests/Integration/transactions/TestIXChainAttestation.cs
Shared helpers now configure bridges, submit transactions, query ledger state, and construct claim attestations. Existing attestation tests delegate to these helpers.
Negative refusal tests
Tests/Xrpl.Tests/Integration/transactions/TestIXChainNegative.cs
Added eight tests for invalid direction, account and key mismatches, insufficient quorum, invalid claim ownership, reward mismatch, missing destination tags, and insufficient account-creation amounts.
Coverage and changelog wiring
.github/workflows/devnet-coverage.yml, CHANGES.md
The default integration-test filter includes TestIXChainNegative. The changelog records the XLS-38 refusal coverage and bridge setup changes.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 59196

The new refusal tests can become brittle if exception formatting changes. Assert the structured engine result to ensure the coverage continues to verify the intended ledger refusal codes.

Comment thread Tests/Xrpl.Tests/Integration/transactions/TestIXChainNegative.cs Outdated
StringAssert.Contains on ex.Message matched presentation text, which can change
while the node keeps reporting the same code. TransactionFailedException carries
EngineResult for exactly this, so compare that.

ReachedLedger goes with it: every code in this class is a tec, so the claim the
helper's summary makes - that this is the result recorded in a ledger rather
than an engine opinion on the open one - is now asserted instead of stated.
