fix(link): revalidate context requests against live keys

[luvs01]

Summary

• Fix a revoked-key authorization bypass in the hub-link listener: the context-route revalidation closure captured the per-request policy snapshot built at request entry, so a deleted or rotated API key could still authorize an in-flight context relay dispatch.
• Rebuild the hub-link policy at post-body, pre-dispatch revalidation by changing the closure to () => resolveApiAuth(req, ingress === "hub-link" ? linkPolicy() : policy) in src/server/index/serve-options.ts, so hub-link requests consult current config/links instead of the original snapshot.
• Add a handler-level regression test in tests/server/context-history-ownership.test.ts that drives the real post-body revalidation gate with the same requestPolicyView/resolveApiAuth pair the listener uses: a key revoked mid-request is refused before dispatch, while a closure over the request-entry snapshot would still admit it.
• Add a focused regression test in tests/server/link-listener-admission.test.ts and update structure/runtime.md to document the in-flight revocation guarantee for the hub-link listener.

Verification

• bun test tests/server/context-history-ownership.test.ts — 6/6 passed, including the new live-policy revalidation case.
• bun test tests/server/link-listener-admission.test.ts — 4/4 passed.
• bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan — passed.
• Fork PR CI (test shards, gates, smoke) passed at head.

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Hub-link requests now recheck API-key access against the current policy after the request body is received. If a key is revoked while a request is in progress, that request is rejected before dispatch.
  • Requests arriving through other ingress types continue to use their existing policy.
• Documentation
  • Clarified when hub-link requests revalidate API-key access.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The context-history handler now rechecks API authentication against the current hub-link policy after reading the request body. Tests cover key removal and compare the refreshed policy with the captured request policy. Runtime documentation describes the recheck.

Changes

Hub-link admission revalidation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Refresh policy for context-history checks src/server/index/serve-options.ts, tests/server/context-history-ownership.test.ts, tests/server/link-listener-admission.test.ts, structure/runtime.md	The handler refreshes the policy for hub-link authentication rechecks. Tests verify that removing a linked key causes rejection and that reusing the captured policy permits the request. The documentation describes the post-body check.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 88531

The change appears mergeable, though a listener-level regression test would better protect in-flight key revocation.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 88531

The change narrows an in-flight authorization window for revoked hub-link keys. The reviewed path retains its route, identity, and context-ownership checks; no new security concern was identified. The assessment is limited to the evidenced request path.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed authority check affects context-history relays arriving through hub-link; other ingress types continue revalidating against their request policy.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The regression test reproduces the pre-change path in which a key removed after entry admission still dispatches using a captured policy. Its live-policy path returns 401 without that dispatch. No introduced or worsened attack path was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The request crosses the hub-link route and linked-key admission boundary before handling. Before the sensitive upstream fetch, the relay checks context ownership and requires revalidated admission for the original principal.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The final authorization check and network fetch are sequential rather than an atomic revocation barrier. The evidence supports denial when revocation precedes the check, not an absolute guarantee against revocation immediately afterward.

Test revocation through the hub-link listener.

The test at tests/server/link-listener-admission.test.ts:157-168 checks source text and calls resolveApiAuth directly. The context-history test at tests/server/context-history-ownership.test.ts:180-229 supplies its callback directly. Neither test sends a real context-history request through the hub-link listener.

Extend the existing listener fixture with a native forward-provider stub. Pause a context request body after admission, revoke the linked key, complete the body, and assert 401 with no upstream dispatch. This test is feasible, but the current fixture's mock provider cannot dispatch context history without that provider and stub setup.

리뷰 · 우선순위 46 / 80

허브 링크 소켓은 요청이 들어올 때 열쇠 정책을 한 번 찍어 둡니다. 컨텍스트 기록과 노트 요청은 본문을 다 읽은 뒤에 열쇠를 다시 확인합니다. 그 다시 확인이 처음 찍어 둔 정책을 봤습니다. 요청이 들어온 뒤에 열쇠를 설정에서 빼거나, 링크 목록에서 그 번호를 빼도, 이미 들어온 요청은 업스트림으로 나갈 수 있었습니다.

이 PR은 허브 링크일 때만, 다시 확인할 때 linkPolicy()를 한 번 더 부릅니다. 그 함수는 지금 설정의 열쇠와, 링크 저장소에 적힌 열쇠 번호를 그 순간에 읽습니다. 공개 입구의 정책은 살아 있는 설정 객체입니다. 이 구멍은 허브 링크가 요청마다 정책을 복사해 두는 쪽에 있었습니다. 테스트는 열쇠 배열에서 그 열쇠를 뺀 뒤, 새 정책은 401이고 옛 복사본은 200인 것을 보여 줍니다. 업스트림으로 나간 횟수는 옛 복사본 한 번입니다. 문서에 그 뜻을 한 문장 넣었습니다. 바탕 브랜치는 dev입니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 변경은 아닙니다.

라인 - tests/server/link-listener-admission.test.ts 157줄. 테스트 이름은 비동기 작업 뒤에 정책을 다시 읽는다고 되어 있습니다. 본문은 serve-options.ts에서 그 한 줄을 찾고, 서버와 따로 만든 설정에서 열쇠를 지운 뒤 resolveApiAuth가 비는지 봅니다. 켜 둔 허브 링크 리스너로 요청을 보내지 않습니다. 그 한 줄의 줄바꿈이 바뀌면 실패합니다. 주석에 같은 글자가 있으면 통과할 수 있습니다. 열쇠를 지운 뒤에도 allowedKeyIds에는 linked-key가 남아 있습니다. 링크 목록에서 번호만 빠지는 경우는 여기 없습니다.

라인 - tests/server/context-history-ownership.test.ts 180줄. 이 테스트는 handleContextHistory까지 갑니다. 넘기는 linkPolicy는 테스트 안에 만든 함수입니다. links.json을 읽지 않고, 열쇠 배열을 갈아끼울 때만 401이 나는지 봅니다. src/server/index.ts의 linkPolicy가 linkAdmissionKeyIds()로 저장소를 다시 읽는 연결은, 위의 소스 한 줄 검사가 맡습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

structure/runtime.md는 재검사 전에 빠진 열쇠가 보내기 전에 멈춘다고 적습니다. context-history.ts는 그 검사 다음에 fetch를 부릅니다. 검사가 끝난 직후 열쇠가 빠지면 그 한 번은 아직 나갑니다. 그 짧은 틈을 이번 범위로 볼지 정하면 됩니다.

pendingRotation 유예가 남은 옛 열쇠는 새 정책으로도 통과합니다. 바로 끊으려면 유예 없이 빼야 합니다. 그 유예는 이번 변경 이전부터 있습니다.

메시지, 이미지, 응답 같은 다른 POST는 본문을 읽는 동안 열쇠를 다시 보지 않습니다. 이 PR은 컨텍스트 릴레이의 다시 확인만 고칩니다. 그 경로를 같이 막을지는 별도입니다.

열린 #5973, #5970, #5966, #5928은 터널 복구, 대시보드, 시작 순서, SSH 호스트라서 이 재검사와 다릅니다. 이 PR을 중복으로 닫을 이유는 없습니다.

너의 추천

serve-options.ts 1401줄은 맞습니다. 허브 링크의 다시 확인은 요청 시작 때 찍어 둔 policy 대신 linkPolicy()를 보면 됩니다. 머지 전에, 소스 글자 검사 대신 링크 저장소에서 그 열쇠 번호만 뺀 요청이 401이고 업스트림으로 안 나가는지 보면 좋습니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할 때문에 이 PR을 닫을 이유는 없습니다.

Thanks! This landed on dev through bug-PR merge train batch 9C, #5987 (merge 81aea0f). Your change is one commit on dev with you as the author and a Co-authored-by trailer. A listener-level regression was added on top: a real listener with a delayed body and the key revoked before dispatch, which is refused. Closing since the content is now on dev.
