The CTV middleware removes this supply chain because its helper requires version 1.0, a complete flag, nonempty nodes, nonempty ASI/SID, SID at most 64 characters, and hp 1.

What it means

The CTV middleware removes this supply chain because its helper requires version 1.0, a complete flag, nonempty nodes, nonempty ASI/SID, SID at most 64 characters, and hp 1. This check applies to the selected vendor contract and integration direction.

Why it matters

The declared profile checks the published partner contract alongside canonical OpenRTB. It does not verify runtime approval or account configuration.

How to fix it

Review the documented processing behavior or source ambiguity before changing the payload. Confirm account-dependent exceptions with the destination.

Example that trips it

{
  "id": "req",
  "imp": [
    {
      "id": "1",
      "video": {
        "mimes": [
          "video/mp4"
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "source": {
    "schain": {
      "ver": "1.0",
      "complete": 1,
      "nodes": [
        {
          "asi": "exchange.example",
          "sid": "seller",
          "hp": 0
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Profile pubmatic-openwrap-ctv, OpenRTB 2.6-202606. The fixture asserts openrtb.profile.openwrap.schain_removed at source.schain.

Check your payload

Paste a bid request or response into the tester to see whether this code fires against it, or gate on the id in CI with the CLI: the id is stable, wording is not.
