fix(node)!: Gate agent-task reads behind visibility rules - #464
cairn-intern wants to merge 52 commits into
Conversation
…repo data list_tasks and get_task had no authorization at all: any anonymous caller could enumerate every task on the node, including another party's repo-less task, its ucan_token, and its payload (Twigpine#268). Add task_visible, mirroring the repo read-visibility gate already used by the ref-updates feed: the delegator and assignee can always read their own task, a repo-scoped task follows that repo's normal visibility rules, and a task naming no repo (or a repo this node doesn't host) is visible only to its delegator/assignee. Both REST and GraphQL now route through the same collect_visible_tasks/get_visible_task collectors so the two surfaces cannot drift, and neither read path echoes ucan_token back, since the holder already received it via the create/claim response. Fixes Twigpine#268
tasks_limit_ceiling_clamped_to_200 seeded 201 repo-less tasks and read them back anonymously, expecting all 200. That read is exactly the enumeration Twigpine#268 closes, so the new visibility gate correctly returns none of them and the test went red. The clamp ceiling is what this test pins, not the gate, so query as the tasks' delegator, who can legitimately see all 201 rows. Refs Twigpine#268
collect_visible_tasks loaded every repo on the node and every visibility rule in order to gate at most 200 tasks, so an anonymous request paid for the whole node's repo and rule set. Narrow both lookups to the repo ids the fetched page actually names, and skip them when no task names a repo. The deduped repo snapshot stays the source of truth for resolving a repo_id: it collapses mirror and canonical pairs and omits quarantined repos, and an id missing from it has to keep failing closed. Resolving ids straight from the repos table would surface exactly those withheld rows. Add GraphQL denial tests as well. Nothing pinned that the task resolvers delegate to the shared collectors, so a resolver that queried the database directly would not have gone red. Refs Twigpine#268

Canonicalize RFC 3339 timestamps in parse_after_cursor to handle URL-decoded spaces, reject mixed cursor alias families, gate complete_task and fail_task behind get_visible_task so unreadable tasks 404 instead of leaking existence with 403, and only flag incomplete when hitting candidate ceilings on full SQL batches. Refs Twigpine#268

Gate REST and GraphQL claim behind the same visibility check as complete and fail, refuse claim when another assignee already holds the task, and only broadcast publicly visible task events. Treat a full list page as incomplete when more candidates remain. Surface HTTP errors from CLI and MCP claim and complete helpers. Refs Twigpine#327 Co-Authored-By: cairn-code <cairn-code@users.noreply.github.com>
A full visible page was flagged incomplete whenever the SQL batch was full, so the first page of any list with more than 200 candidates looked stalled. Align the GraphQL claim test with the visibility gate's not-found message. Refs Twigpine#268
Review required tests that go red if the pre-assigned claim predicate or the anonymous announce gate is deleted, and incomplete must not stay true when the candidate stream is exhausted at the scan ceiling. Route claim, complete, and fail through AppError so closed-pool outages stay 503 and 404s match the read envelope. Refs Twigpine#268
create_task stores the supplied assignee unchanged, so a raw SQL equality check drops a designated assignee who presents the other did:key form. Compare the normalized key so claim and filtered list agree with did_matches. Refs Twigpine#268

The task read path treated visibility, pagination, and error vocabulary as
separate edits, so each one broke where they met. Rework them as one contract.
A raw (created_at, id) cursor forced a choice between two broken options: it
could name the last visible row, and then a denied window longer than the
1,000-candidate scan budget was unpageable forever; or it could name the last
examined row, and then a denied read leaked the id and timestamp of a task
GET /tasks/{id} otherwise 404s. Continuation tokens remove the choice. They
carry the last examined candidate, so paging always advances a full scan budget
per request, and they are encrypted and authenticated under a node-derived key,
so the caller learns nothing from one and cannot forge one naming a row of
their choosing. Encryption is a synthetic-IV construction over the hmac/sha2
pair already used for webhook signatures, so it adds no dependency and needs no
randomness source.
Making the token the only accepted cursor also gives the ordering key one
domain. agent_tasks.created_at is TEXT and compared as TEXT, so a caller-typed
'...Z' and '...+00:00' denote one instant but sort differently, and a client
could silently skip or repeat same-time rows. The token carries the stored
string verbatim, so the value compared is always one the server wrote. The raw
after_*/cursor_* pairs are removed rather than kept alongside it, since a second
domain is the bug.
Separate the two facts the old single incomplete flag conflated: has_more says
candidates remain, incomplete says this page is short only because the
authorization scan hit its ceiling. Both REST and GraphQL now return has_more,
incomplete, and next_cursor from the shared collector, and REST echoes the limit
it actually applied so a clamped request is visible as clamped.
Have gl task list and MCP task_list follow next_cursor instead of issuing one
request: --limit 500 returned a successful but silently truncated 200 rows.
Following is bounded by a page cap and a no-progress guard, and a run stopped by
either reports an explicit incomplete result with a resume cursor.
Route claimTask, completeTask, and failTask through the same task_write_conflict
classifier the REST handlers use, via curated helpers in the graphql module so
the map_err source guard still holds. A claim race or stale finish reached
GraphQL clients as a generic database error while REST clients got an actionable
conflict; genuine sqlx faults stay opaque on both.
Refs Twigpine#327
A short SQL batch means no rows exist past it, not that every row in it was examined. When the page filled mid-batch the collector treated the two as the same, marked the stream ended, and suppressed the continuation, so every row after the one that filled the page was unreachable. The equal-timestamp paging tests caught it: three rows with a limit of one returned only the first. Track how much of each batch was consumed and end the stream only when the whole of a short batch has been examined. Otherwise leave `has_more` to the probe row, which resumes from the last examined candidate. Refs Twigpine#327
…der test A `--limit 0` reached the node, which clamped it to zero and answered with an empty page marked complete, so an invalid request read as proof that no tasks exist. Reject a non-positive limit in `fetch_tasks()`, the helper the CLI and MCP share, so the guard cannot drift between the two surfaces. `task_write_sql_faults_stay_opaque` did not exercise what it named. Dropping `updated_at` also broke the SELECT in `get_task()`, so the fault surfaced from the `get_visible_task()` pre-check through `graphql_app_err` and never reached `graphql_claim_conflict`. A `BEFORE UPDATE` trigger keeps every read valid and faults only inside `Db::claim_task`, and the test now also asserts that a write-time fault is not reclassified as a claim race. Refs Twigpine#268
…utes
A continuation token names the last candidate a scan examined, not the last
row it returned, so it encodes how far that scan got under one caller's
visibility. The MAC bound the page filter but not the presenting identity,
so resuming a token as a different caller started the scan past rows that
caller was entitled to read and dropped them from the answer with nothing
to signal the loss. Bind the caller's normalized DID into the MAC, with
anonymous flagged absent rather than encoded as empty. Normalization goes
through normalize_owner_key so the two spellings of one did:key identity
bind identically, matching did_matches on the read path: a caller who
presents the other form of their own DID keeps their own page. A mismatched
token renders the existing single rejection message, so this adds no oracle.
GET /api/v1/tasks and GET /api/v1/tasks/{id} are anonymously reachable, and
the visibility gate costs a task lookup plus deduped-repo and
visibility-rule queries before it can return the opaque 404. An
unauthenticated prober therefore pays nothing while the node pays per
request, whether or not the id exists. Attach the per-IP limiter already
used on /ipfs/{cid}, configurable through GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT and
swept by the periodic task like every other per-key limiter.
Refs Twigpine#268
The per-IP brake added for the task read routes covered only /api/v1/tasks*, so an anonymous caller reached the same collect_visible_tasks and get_visible_task gate over /graphql with no bucket at all. The fence had an open lane beside it. Carry the brake as GraphQL request data and debit it in the tasks and task resolvers rather than layering rate_limit_by_ip onto the GraphQL router: /graphql is one endpoint for every operation, so a router layer would charge unrelated queries and every mutation against the task-read bucket. Debiting per resolved field also prices an aliased query honestly, since ten aliased tasks fields run the gate ten times. Extract RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE so the GraphQL surface, which cannot return a 429 status inside a 200 envelope, refuses with the same text the REST routes use. /graphql/ws serves the query root as well and stays unbraked; closing it needs a WebSocketUpgrade handler and is left for a follow-up.

… batch boundary When candidate scanning reaches MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES without finding a target_visible row and the final batch was full, probe the database for rows beyond the scan position so an exhausted candidate stream is not erroneously marked incomplete. Refs Twigpine#327
The scan-ceiling branch of collect_visible_tasks settles has_more with an un-gated LIMIT 1 probe, so a caller can learn whether any row - readable or not - trails the position the scan stopped at. Withholding the probe does not remove that bit: enumeration past a denied window longer than one scan budget requires handing back a continuation, and following that continuation returns the same terminal page one round trip later. State what the probe discloses (one bit, only at server-chosen positions a full scan budget apart, reachable only through a MAC'd cursor, never a denied row's id, payload or ucan_token) and pin it end to end. Also correct the comment above the branch, which claimed has_more never comes from an un-gated probe while the code below it did exactly that. Refs Twigpine#327
Optional IS NULL predicates kept the planner from using a created_at/id order, so every list_tasks_keyset batch could sort a growing match set before LIMIT. Dedicated per-domain SQL plus v28 indexes make the candidate ceiling a database bound. Refs Twigpine#327

Re-review on 73a974398. Both round-three asks landed and hold under execution: with_chunked_body puts the oversized fixture on the no-length path, and neutering the accumulation check at crates/gl/src/task.rs:220 turns the test red on invalid JSON response instead of the budget message, so the streamed arm is genuinely pinned now. The reworded commit is byte-identical to 7e0c7896, so nothing else moved.
Re-ran the earlier pins on this head: restoring the delegator early return at the head of task_claimable flips claim_task_delegator_cannot_claim_preassigned_task to the misdescribing 409 (red), and dropping error_for_status in fetch_tasks turns the 403 into a parsed empty page (red). fmt, clippy on the node and gl targets with -D warnings, and the task, MCP, and websocket-auth suites are green; identity.rs is LF; the migrations still hold 27/28 while #384 is open.
Findings
-
[P3] Discriminate the declared-length arm the same way as the streamed one
crates/gl/src/task.rs:1863
test_read_task_page_json_oversized_content_lengthasserts only the shared "task response exceeds byte budget" prefix, which both bail messages start with. I disabled the Content-Length pre-check at :211 and the suite stayed green: the streamed guard still bails and "(exceeded" contains the asserted substring. That pre-check is the early abort that keeps a multi-GB declared body from being buffered to the cap; assert "(declared" here the way the chunked twin asserts "(exceeded". -
[P3] Give the remaining unprefixed subjects conventional titles
CONTRIBUTING.md:57
21 of the 46 branch commits still carry no type prefix ("Withhold quarantined-repo tasks on all read surfaces before party checks.", "Address review feedback on ..."), and release-please reads commit subjects off the merge. Reword them on the next push; if a 46-commit rebase is more churn than it is worth, say so and I will land this as a squash under the PR's own conventional title.
Not an ask, recorded only: the delegator test's !body.contains(SECRET_UCAN) still cannot fail because the not-found envelope is a fixed shape. assert_not_found_envelope at crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:2016 pins the envelope itself plus the same markers if you want the line to carry weight; the granted claim body does serialize ucan_token if you would rather witness presence there.
The two open bot threads stand as previously answered: #384 is still open, so holding 27/28 is right, and the strict identity load in call_tool stays deliberate.
One heads-up, not a finding: #285 touches the same state.rs / auth/mod.rs / main.rs hunks and lands ahead of this one, so a rebase is coming regardless.
…ength test Addresses beardthelion review finding (2026-09-26): test_read_task_page_json_oversized_content_length now asserts on the "(declared" arm the way the chunked twin asserts "(exceeded", so the Content-Length pre-check at crates/gl/src/task.rs:211 is genuinely pinned.

Re-submission of the closed #396/#327 (gating agent-task reads behind visibility rules). The closed round had two maintainer approvals but stalled on process; note that if this lands, #405's limit clamp becomes near-redundant since the shared collect_visible_tasks standardizes the clamp at [0, 200]. The visibility semantics should match issue #395's split between read visibility and ownership.

Re-review on 6e29147a. The round-five ask landed and holds under execution: task_claimable fails closed on both unresolvable-repo arms, and reverting each arm independently turns claim_task_on_unresolvable_repo_task_returns_404_and_keeps_assignee red (stranger claim back to 200 on the slash-form leg, then the ghost-repo leg). Both claim surfaces share get_claimable_task, so the fix covers REST and GraphQL at once. The standing pins re-pass on this head: restoring the delegator early return flips claim_task_delegator_cannot_claim_preassigned_task to the misdescribing 409, visible_tasks_tests is 34/34 green, and cargo fmt / clippy -D warnings are clean.

- [P2] Pad the sealed cursor plaintext to a fixed bucket
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:219
On the scan-ceiling pathnext_positionisexamined: the last row the scan fetched, whether or not the caller could see it. The token seals that row's(created_at, id)as variable-length JSON and the keystream preserves plaintext length, sonext_cursor.len()leaks the withheld row's field widths: positions differing only in width mint 101 vs 161-char tokens, and productionto_rfc3339()renders 32 vs 35 chars. Ids are server-minted fixed-length UUIDs, so today the disclosure is a denied timestamp's precision class, but the sealed-cursor shape requires fixed width andtoken_does_not_expose_the_row_it_namesclaims the caller learns nothing about the row it names. Pad the serialized payload to a fixed bucket beforeapply_keystream(trailing JSON whitespace decodes cleanly today) and pin it with a test asserting equal token length across different-width positions. GraphQL sharestask_cursor::encode, so the fix covers both surfaces.
The two open bot threads stand as previously answered: renumbering the migrations is wrong while #384 still claims 27 through 35, and the strict identity load in call_tool is deliberate.
Not an ask, recorded only: create_task still binds a caller-supplied repo_id and assignee_did verbatim, so any signed caller can plant a task, payload and UCAN included, under a repo id it does not own. That predates this PR (identical on main), but the read and claim gates landing here give it teeth: an injected task on a private repo now surfaces only to that repo's readers and is claimable by the named assignee. Worth its own issue if nobody files it first.
One heads-up, not a finding: #285 still shares the state.rs / auth/mod.rs / main.rs hunks, so expect a rebase if it lands first.
Superseded by re-review on 6e29147
The scan-ceiling token seals the last examined row's (created_at, id) as variable-length JSON under a length-preserving keystream, so token length leaked the withheld row's field widths: a 32-char to_rfc3339() rendering mints a 148-char token where a 35-char one mints 161 chars. Pad the serialized payload with trailing JSON whitespace to a fixed 128-byte bucket before the SIV tag is computed; decode tolerates the padding (serde_json ignores trailing whitespace) and tokens minted before this change still verify. REST and GraphQL share task_cursor::encode, so one fix covers both. Adds token_length_does_not_vary_with_position_width: asserts identical token length across narrow/wide timestamp positions and that the padded token still decodes to the exact stored position.

Re-review on 8698cc20. The round-six ask landed and holds under execution: pulling the two padding lines turns token_length_does_not_vary_with_position_width red (148 vs 161-char tokens across timestamp widths, the channel the last round described), and on this head the task_cursor module is 16/16 with visible_tasks_tests 34/34 and the GraphQL task-paging tests green. I also minted a pre-padding token by hand through the module's own MAC and keystream helpers and decode accepts it, and a token with the padding bytes stripped off its ciphertext fails the tag. Both halves of the compat claim hold.
Findings
-
[P3] Pin the two claims the new doc comments make
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:238
Theencodedocstring asserts a token minted before padding landed still verifies, and thePAYLOAD_BUCKETcomment promises an oversized payload rounds up to the next multiple instead of failing. Nothing executes either: every test token goes through the paddedencode, and no test payload exceeds the bucket. Both pin cheaply in-module. Mint an unpadded payload throughsivandapply_keystream(the pre-change recipe) and assertdecodereturns the position, then mint a position with a ~140-charidso the payload crosses 128 and assert the token still round-trips at two buckets. I ran both shapes as probes on this head and they pass, so this is coverage, not a behavior change. -
[P3] Correct the timestamp-width figures in the new comments
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:372
to_rfc3339()renders 25 chars with no fractional seconds, not 32; 32 is the microsecond width. The commit message's figure of a 32-char rendering minting a 148-char token carries the same swap: 32 mints 157, and 148 is the 25-char case the test actually feeds. The leak direction is right; the numbers in the security comments should be the real ones.
On the open bot threads: the two standing ones stay declined (renumbering the migrations is wrong while #384 still claims versions 27 through 35, and the strict identity load in call_tool is deliberate). On the new cursor-versioning thread: keeping v1 is right. decode MACs whatever plaintext the keystream recovers, so a token minted before this change verifies, and a padded token verifies under the pre-change decode identically. Nothing already signed is invalidated, which is the case the versioned-format rule in AGENTS.md is written for. The part worth keeping is the positive old-format test, folded into the first finding.
The #285 heads-up from last round stands: it still shares the state.rs / auth/mod.rs / main.rs hunks, so expect a rebase if it lands first.
- Pin the encode docstring compat claim: add unpadded_legacy_token_still_verifies test minting a token via the pre-padding recipe (siv + apply_keystream with no padding) and asserting decode returns the position. - Pin the PAYLOAD_BUCKET round-up claim: add oversized_payload_rounds_up_to_next_bucket test with a 140-char id crossing the 128-byte bucket, asserting round-trip at two buckets. - Correct timestamp-width figures: to_rfc3339() renders 25 chars with no fractional seconds (not 32); 32 is the microsecond width.

Re-review on 99278274. The last round's asks landed and hold under execution: unpadded_legacy_token_still_verifies and oversized_payload_rounds_up_to_next_bucket are real pins, not decoration. Rejecting non-bucket plaintext in decode turns only the legacy test red, and pinning padded_len to a single bucket turns only the oversized test red. The corrected figures check out too: to_rfc3339() renders 25 chars with no fractional part, and the widest realistic serialized payload is 101 bytes, still inside one 128-byte bucket.
The remaining findings are all in the same file, and the same class this commit exists to fix, so they should be quick.
Findings
-
[P3] Correct the wire form in the module docstring
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:43
encodeemitsv1.<iv>.<body>: the truncated tag doubles as the IV, then the ciphertext. The documentedv1.<payload>.<tag>has the segments swapped and mislabeled, anddecodeparses them in the emitted order. The line is this PR's own, from the opaque-cursor commit. -
[P3] Fix the two remaining width figures
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:73
SerializingCursorPayloadat the widest realistic fields (35-char timestamp, 36-char UUID, 10-digit expiry) produces 101 bytes, so "stay under 100 bytes" is off by one; the bucket conclusion still holds. The companion clause on the comment line this commit edited stays loose:to_rfc3339()renders 29 or 32 chars for sub-second precision, 35 only at full nine digits. -
[P3] Assert the padded body length, not only a longer token
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:473
"Rounds up to the next multiple" is pinned on the under-pad side only: a pad target that always adds a whole extra bucket (next_multiple_of(PAYLOAD_BUCKET) + PAYLOAD_BUCKET) still passes this test, because it never checks the body is exactly two buckets. Decoding the body segment and asserting2 * PAYLOAD_BUCKETcloses it.
Not an ask, recorded only: unpadded_legacy_token_still_verifies re-derives the pre-change token under the current internals, so it pins decode's tolerance rather than the v1 recipe itself. A frozen literal token in the fixture would keep the pin honest across a future change to the key-derivation or stream domains.
- Correct wire-form docstring to v1.<iv>.<body> - Fix payload width figures: 101 bytes total, to_rfc3339() precision ladder - Tighten oversized-payload test to assert exactly 2*PAYLOAD_BUCKET - Pin legacy back-compat test with a frozen v1 token fixture

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Re-review on de6c191d. The round-eight asks landed and hold under execution: the docstring now documents v1.<iv>.<body> matching encode's segment order, the width figures are the real ones (101-byte widest payload, 29/32/35-char timestamps), and the oversized test now decodes the body and asserts exactly two buckets. A pad formula that always adds a bucket turns that test red (384 vs 256) where last round it stayed green. The frozen literal is a genuine pre-padding artifact: decrypted in-module it carries the fixture's claimed position and expiry, and renaming the keystream domain turns only that test red.
fmt and clippy are clean; the task_cursor module and the task, visibility, and GraphQL task suites are green on this head.
Findings
-
[P3] Pin the one-bucket width on a normal token
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:464
The new assertion pins the oversized fixture to exactly two buckets, but nothing pins a sub-bucket payload to exactly one. Settingpadded_len = 2 * PAYLOAD_BUCKETunconditionally kept the module suite green, so a pad that skips "next multiple" (or a drifted bucket constant, since every assertion is bucket-relative) survives the suite. Assert the decoded body of a normal token is exactlyPAYLOAD_BUCKET; that assertion went red under the constant-256 mutation here. -
[P3] Assert the frozen fixture is the unpadded shape
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:418
The literal is a 66-byte unpadded payload today, but the test's only assertion is equally satisfied by a current padded token: I swapped the literal forencode()output at the same position and it passed identically. A fixture re-minted under the padded recipe would retire the back-compat pin silently. Decode the body segment and assertraw.len() < PAYLOAD_BUCKET, the same pattern the oversized test uses. -
[P3] Narrow the recipe-pin claim to what the literal binds
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/task_cursor.rs:405
The comment says a change to "(domains, serialization, padding) breaks this test". Two of the three do not: decode never consultsPAYLOAD_BUCKETand the fixture is unpadded, so padding changes leave it green, and reorderingCursorPayload's fields left the module suite green because serde matches by field name. A domain change does what the comment claims: renaming the keystream domain turned only this test red. Name what the literal pins (domains, MAC input, keystream, segment layout, field names) and let the oversized test own the padding-width claim.
The three open bot threads stand as previously answered: #384 is still open, so holding migrations at 27/28 is right; the strict identity load in call_tool stays deliberate; keeping v1 is correct for the reason given last round.
One heads-up, not a finding: #285 still shares the state.rs / auth/mod.rs / main.rs hunks, so expect a rebase if it lands first.
- Pin the one-bucket width: round_trips_position_verbatim now asserts the decoded body of a normal token is exactly PAYLOAD_BUCKET, catching a pad that skips next-multiple or a drifted bucket constant. Every other width assertion here is bucket-relative, so only an absolute check goes red. - Assert the frozen fixture is the unpadded shape: unpadded_legacy_token_still_verifies decodes the body segment and asserts raw.len() < PAYLOAD_BUCKET, so a literal re-minted under the padded recipe would retire the back-compat pin loudly instead of passing silently. - Narrow the recipe-pin claim: the docstring now names what the frozen literal actually binds (domains, MAC input, keystream, segment layout, field names) instead of claiming padding and serialization changes break the test. The padding-width claim stays with oversized_payload_rounds_up_to_next_bucket.
