 ## Behavior Notes
 
+- `OutputOptions.redaction.revealNames` reveals exact structured field names at the selected output boundary. Children still pass through redaction; URL parameters and argv receive no exemption.
+- The protocol reader accepts base-profile events. An absent `error.retryable` remains nullable; strict validation is a separate opt-in.
 - Default redaction replaces every `_secret` or configured secret-name subtree with `***`, including objects and arrays.
 - `_url` fields scrub userinfo passwords and secret-named query parameters; surrounding whitespace is trimmed, and internal whitespace or a `://` that is not the start of a clean URL redacts the whole field, where whitespace is the explicit Unicode `White_Space` set the spec enumerates, not the language's native predicate.
 - `OutputOptions.redaction.urlNames` applies URL treatment to exact legacy field names

 - YAML keeps original keys and values (structure-preserving, like JSON), sorting keys by UTF-16 code unit order and quoting/escaping unsafe keys and string scalars. Plain strips formatting suffixes, formats values, sorts the same way, and renders nested objects/arrays as canonical JSON; it quotes a value only when it contains ASCII space, tab, newline, carriage return, form feed, vertical tab, NBSP, `=`, `"`, or `\`, and escapes `\`, `"`, newline, carriage return, tab, form feed, and vertical tab inside the quotes.
 - Logging records use `kind:"log"` with a nested `log` payload and a separate `level` field, so error-level logs are not terminal protocol errors.
 - `buildCliError(message, hint?)` returns a strict-ready CLI error with `error.retryable:false` and `trace:{}`.
-- Do not add a raw version/help pre-parser. Until the TypeScript `CliSpec` compiler lands, applications should keep lifecycle parsing in their own parser rather than claim AFDATA closed-world help compatibility.
+- Do not add a raw version/help pre-parser. This SDK provides emitters and readers; argv and lifecycle parsing belong to the application. Claim help-v2 or closed-world compatibility only when using a registry compiler.
