config-error-handling

Add or improve config validation and error messages for Membrane config elements (@MCElement classes) — throwing/wrapping ConfigurationException, deciding where to validate, and understanding why some config errors get a highlighted YAML snippet and others don't. Use whenever asked to add config validation, throw a ConfigurationException, make a config error message more informative, or explain why a config error shows/doesn't show the YAML `>` marker.

# Config Error Handling ## Two failure phases, two reporting paths Membrane config errors surface differently depending on *when* they're thrown, and that's the first thing to get right. **Setter-time** — inside an `@MCAttribute`/`@MCChildElement` setter, during YAML property binding (`annot/.../yaml/parsing/binding/PropertyBinder.java`, `populate()`). That `catch (Throwable cause)` re-wraps into `new ConfigurationParsingException(cause.getMessage())` and attaches a `ParsingContext` (source location), so `RouterCLI` renders a highlighted `>` YAML snippet pointing at the offending line. Mind the message: reflection wraps a setter's own exception in `InvocationTargetException`, and `PropertyBinder` does *not* unwrap it, so the message it copies is the wrapper's (`null`) — the real text sits in `cause.getCause().getMessage()`. The `@MCElement(collapsed=true)` scalar path in `ObjectBinder` does unwrap (`e.getTargetException()`). Example: `WsuTimestampInterceptor.setTtl` (`core/.../soap/wsse/WsuTimestampInterceptor.java`) catches `DateTimeParseException` from `Duration.parse` and rethrows a `ConfigurationException` with a concrete valid-example ("PT5M"). **Init-time** — inside `interceptor.init(Router)`, reached via `DefaultRouter.init()` → `AbstractRouter.initProxies()` → `proxy.init(this)`, i.e. *after* all YAML parsing has finished. The YAML bootstrap does carry a `ParsingContext` into the bean registry, but nothing on this `initProxies()` path passes it on, so an interceptor's `init()` has no source location to report — not fixable per-interceptor without a cross-cutting change to plumb it through `Router`/interceptor init. `ConfigurationException` thrown here is caught by `SpringConfigurationErrorHandler.handleConfigurationException` (`core/.../exceptions/SpringConfigurationErrorHandler.java:128`), which prints a plain `"************** Configuration Error ***..."` / `"Reason: <cause message>"` block — no YAML snippet. This is the existing, accepted behavior for every interceptor's init()-time checks (missing keystore, bad key alias, unsupported algorithm, ...), not a bug to chase per class. Prefer failing at init()-time (config-load time) over lazily at first-request time — see `DigitalSignatureInterceptor.validateConfiguration()` for the pattern (checked in `init()`, before any request is handled). ## Writing a good ConfigurationException message - Name the bad attribute and the value that was given. - List valid options built from real constants, not hand-typed strings, so the list can't drift from what's actually supported — e.g. `DigitalSignatureInterceptor.SUPPORTED_DIGEST_ALGORITHMS` is built from `javax.xml.crypto.dsig.DigestMethod.*`, verified experimentally against the JDK's DOM `XMLSignatureFactory` rather than assumed from the constant list. - Wrap the causing checked exception with `new ConfigurationException(message, cause)` rather than swallowing it — `cause.getMessage()` is still visible via `Reason:` in the init-time path. ## Testing pattern - **Init-time checks**: follow `DigitalSignatureInterceptorTest`'s `initWith(references...)` + `assertThrows(RuntimeException.class, () -> initWith(...))` idiom — set the invalid state on a fresh interceptor with an otherwise-valid config, assert init throws. - **Setter-time message propagation**: `annot/src/test/java/.../YAMLParsingErrorTest.java` builds ad-hoc `@MCElement` classes and asserts on the rendered error report (see `attribute()`) — use that as the template. There is currently no test covering a setter-thrown exception's message, which is why the `InvocationTargetException` gap above goes unnoticed; add one there if you touch that path.
