Under MAU pricing Ably needs to know whether traffic comes from an end-user device or from a customer's own backend. PDR-091 showed that inferring this from the auth type is wrong often enough to matter, so make the side structural instead: the artifact you depend on and the factory you call state it. Two additive artifacts, each re-exporting the core via `api` so that every io.ably.lib type stays importable: - io.ably.pubsub:server, a JVM jar over ably-java, exposing PubSub.httpClientBuilder() and PubSub.realtimeClientBuilder() - io.ably.pubsub:device, a Kotlin Multiplatform module over ably-android and ably-java, exposing PubSub.clientBuilder(). Targeting the JVM as well as Android means desktop applications can declare the device side too. Each builder exposes one method per ClientOptions property and assembles the whole ClientOptions itself; the HTTP builder omits the realtime-only options, which an AblyRest would ignore. The existing AblyRest and AblyRealtime constructors are deprecated in place, naming their replacement, and remain fully functional. Nothing changes on the wire yet, the server/client specific changes will be in the next commit Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new client builders can share mutable configuration between instances, causing later changes to unexpectedly alter existing clients, and Java callers may be unable to catch build-time authentication errors from the device package. These are concrete correctness and integration risks that should be addressed before merging. Poem

Declare AblyException for JVM callers.
build() calls a constructor that declares AblyException, but it lacks @Throws. Add @Throws(AblyException::class) so Java callers can catch this exception from PubSub.clientBuilder().build(). The server builder already declares it.

Give each built client its own ClientOptions.
This builder reuses one mutable options instance for every build. AblyBase stores that exact reference and passes it to authentication and HTTP components. A later builder call can therefore change options for a client that was already built. Two clients built from the same builder also share configuration. (github.com)
Pass options.copy() to both constructors.
Proposed fix
public AblyRest build() throws AblyException {
- return new AblyRest(options);
+ return new AblyRest(options.copy());
}
public AblyRealtime build() throws AblyException {
- return new AblyRealtime(options);
+ return new AblyRealtime(options.copy());
}Also applies to: 495-498, 627-630
