EBL 3.0: Allow NA codeListProvider for Consignee/Endorsee identifying codes

✨ Enhancement 📝 Documentation 🕐 10-20 Minutes

AI Description

• Add NA as an allowed codeListProvider when no identifying code exists.
• Introduce IdentifyingCodeExtended schema documenting NA/NO VALUE conditions.
• Update EBL, issuance, and PINT specs to reference the extended schema.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Modify existing IdentifyingCode schema in-place

• ➕ Single schema to maintain; avoids duplicating schema definitions
• ➕ All uses automatically gain the NA option
• ➖ Broad behavioral change across all party roles/contexts (higher compatibility risk)
• ➖ Harder to scope the NA semantics only to Consignee/Endorsee as requested

2. Use oneOf to extend IdentifyingCode (e.g., IdentifyingCode | IdentifyingCodeWithNA)

• ➕ Expresses extension without duplicating the full schema
• ➕ Allows scoping the NA-capable variant to specific fields
• ➖ More complex OpenAPI constructs for generators/validators
• ➖ May reduce readability compared to a single explicit schema

Recommendation: Keep the current approach (introducing IdentifyingCodeExtended and updating only the relevant identifyingCodes arrays) because it scopes the NA allowance to the intended party roles while minimizing unintended downstream impacts. Consider oneOf only if schema duplication becomes a maintenance burden across versions.

Reference IdentifyingCodeExtended for selected party identifyingCodes

• Switches specific 'identifyingCodes.items' references from 'IdentifyingCode' to 'IdentifyingCodeExtended'. Adds the 'IdentifyingCodeExtended' schema including 'NA' as a documented option and the associated 'partyCode' condition.

Add IdentifyingCodeExtended and update issuance party identifyingCodes to use it

• Introduces 'IdentifyingCodeExtended' to the issuance API components and updates the relevant party 'identifyingCodes' arrays to reference it. Documents 'NA' usage and the required 'NO VALUE' partyCode behavior when 'NA' is used.

Add IdentifyingCodeExtended and update PINT party identifyingCodes to use it

• Adds the 'IdentifyingCodeExtended' schema to the PINT spec and updates the applicable party 'identifyingCodes.items' references to point to it. Captures the 'NA' provider option and the conditional requirement for 'partyCode'.

1. Inconsistent NA condition ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

IdentifyingCodeExtended’s description says to use NA when codeListProvider “does not exist”, but
codeListProvider is required by the same schema, making the normative rule internally
inconsistent. The same block also contains a typo (“Condtion”) in a MUST statement, replicated
across the three specs.

Code

ebl/v3/EBL_v3.0.4.yaml[R7709-7717]

+            **Condition:** When `codeListProvider` does not exist or is not applicable then `NA` MUST be used.
+          example: W3C
+        partyCode:
+          type: string
+          maxLength: 150
+          description: |
+            Code to identify the party as provided by the `codeListProvider`.
+
+            **Condtion:** when `codeListProvider='NA'` the corresponding `partyCode` MUST be set to `NO VALUE`.

Evidence

The schema requires codeListProvider, yet its own description discusses the case where
codeListProvider does not exist, which cannot occur under the schema as written; the same typo and
wording appear in issuance and PINT copies.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`IdentifyingCodeExtended` introduces normative wording that is internally inconsistent: it states that when `codeListProvider` does not exist then `NA` must be used, while the schema simultaneously requires `codeListProvider`. This should be reworded to describe the intended scenario (e.g., when no identifying code/provider is applicable, set `codeListProvider` to `NA`), and fix the typo `Condtion` -> `Condition`.

## Issue Context
The current text is likely meant to define how to populate the required `identifyingCodes` entry for Consignee/Endorsee when no real identifier is available.

2. Duplicate IdentifyingCode schemas ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The PR introduces IdentifyingCodeExtended with the same structure as IdentifyingCode and
repoints Consignee/Endorsee to it, creating two parallel schema types for the same object shape.
This duplication increases drift risk (future edits must be applied twice) and needlessly fragments
schema/type usage across the specs.

Code

ebl/v3/EBL_v3.0.4.yaml[R6198-6201]

          type: array
          minItems: 1
          items:
-            $ref: '#/components/schemas/IdentifyingCode'
+            $ref: '#/components/schemas/IdentifyingCodeExtended'

Evidence

Consignee/Endorsee now reference IdentifyingCodeExtended, while both IdentifyingCode and
IdentifyingCodeExtended are defined in the same file with the same structural fields and required
list, demonstrating duplication and type fragmentation.

ebl/v3/EBL_v3.0.4.yaml[6197-6202]
ebl/v3/EBL_v3.0.4.yaml[6566-6571]
ebl/v3/EBL_v3.0.4.yaml[7609-7731]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`IdentifyingCodeExtended` duplicates `IdentifyingCode` (same properties + required list) and is only used to change descriptive/normative text about `NA`. This creates a maintenance hazard and inconsistent type usage.

## Issue Context
`Consignee.identifyingCodes` and `Endorsee.identifyingCodes` were switched to `$ref: IdentifyingCodeExtended`, while many other places still use `IdentifyingCode`. If the intent is simply to allow/document `NA`, prefer updating the existing `IdentifyingCode` schema (and keep refs unchanged), or otherwise factor the shared structure to prevent divergence.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the EBL 3.0 OpenAPI specifications to allow a “Not Applicable” identifying-code provider (NA) for parties that must still provide an identifyingCodes entry even when no real identifying code exists (per SD-3102).

Changes:

• Added a new IdentifyingCodeExtended schema (including NA in the documented provider list + NA-specific conditions).
• Updated Consignee.identifyingCodes and Endorsee.identifyingCodes item schema references to IdentifyingCodeExtended.
• Applied the above updates consistently across the PINT, Issuance, and main EBL v3 specs.
