Investigate AI-agent analysis report on the index-management specification. This ticket tracks findings identified during a systematic review of the spec: missing test coverage, ambiguous normative language, and spec/test inconsistencies.

Missing Tests

• dropIndex("*") MUST raise an error — no unified test (prose only)
• createIndex with commitQuorum on pre-4.4 server MUST raise an error — no unified test (only rawData tested for
  version-gating)
• Index name generation (key_direction_pairs format, id special case) — no test verifying generated names
  match spec
• ns field population for index models when server doesn't provide it (MongoDB 4.4+) — not tested
• comment option MUST be passed to subsequent getMore calls in listIndexes — propagation not tested
• rawData option MUST NOT be sent to pre-8.2 servers — tested as omitted, but not that an explicit user request
  errors
• Timeout enforcement for createIndex, dropIndex, listIndexes per CSOT spec — no tests

Ambiguities

• rawData option discouragement: Spec says drivers "SHOULD NOT implement this option unless asked" and "SHOULD
  implement in a way that discourages customer use." Unclear whether this means deprecation warnings,
  documentation-only, or hiding from public API.
• Search index polling responsibility: Spec says commands are "asynchronous and return before the index is updated."
  Should drivers automatically poll or document that polling is user responsibility? Not specified.
• NamespaceNotFound suppression scope: "Drivers MAY suppress NamespaceNotFound from search index helpers" but
  "MUST suppress for dropSearchIndex." Which other helpers does MAY apply to?

Inconsistencies

• commitQuorum validation gap: Q&A says drivers "manually verify it is only sent to 4.4+ servers" and spec says
  "MUST manually raise an error," but no unified test covers this. The index-rawdata.yml tests only cover rawData
  version-gating, not commitQuorum.
• Search index read/write concern stripping: Tests assert readConcern/writeConcern do not exist
  ($$exists: false), but spec says "MUST NOT apply" (not "MUST strip"). Ambiguous whether user-supplied fields in
  the command are also stripped.
• Index View API not tested: Spec defines both Standard API (createIndex, dropIndex) and Index View API (createOne,
  createMany, dropOne, dropAll), but all unified tests only cover Standard API.

Notes

• Search index tests are Atlas-only (require server 7.0+ and real Atlas cluster) — cannot run in standard driver CI.
• rawData option added in Sept 2025; minimal test coverage (2 tests, command construction only).
• Prose tests and unified tests form a two-tier strategy; search index prose tests (Cases 1–8 with polling) are not
  automated.
• PR #1861 /
  DRIVERS-3345 (open): ensure search index default name is "default"
  and type is "search" when not specified.
