fix(api): declare the refusal a narrowed token meets - #168
Merged
Conversation
`authenticated` answers 403 whenever a route asks for `Access::Write` or `Access::Admin` and the credential's scopes do not grant it. The check has been enforced since the tokens landed and tested since then; what was missing is that the document never said so. Nineteen mutations listed 401 and 422 and stopped there, so a client generated from `openapi.json` had no branch for a perfectly ordinary answer and read it as a transport failure. The handoff recorded this as one line owed on `/api/v2/sync/ack`, matching the omission #167 fixed on the library feed. It is not one line. Auditing every `#[utoipa::path]` against the `Access` its handler asks for turns up nineteen, which is what happens when the same true sentence has to be retyped per route rather than stated once. So it is stated once. `annotate_scope_refusals` injects the 403 into every secured mutation, in the pass `annotate_mutation_headers` already established for the 409 — routes that describe their own keep the wording they chose, and public operations are skipped because a route carrying no credential has none to have refused. ## A pass over mutations cannot see the read that is a write `GET /api/v2/uploads/{session_id}` asks for `Access::Write`: reading a transfer's state belongs to the flow that writes it. So it refuses a narrow token while being a read, and the injection walks straight past it. It is annotated by hand, and the guide now says so — "reading needs no scope" is true of reading and not of `GET`, which is exactly the sort of thing a client author discovers at runtime. ## The test asks the server, because the document cannot be its own witness A pass that injects a response and a test that reads the same document back agree with each other whether or not either matches the server. So `every_refusal_a_narrow_token_meets_is_documented` mints a `catalog:read` token, walks every secured operation the document publishes, and requires that anything answering 403 also declares it. The running router is the oracle; the document is what is on trial. Nothing here holds a list of routes — which is why it found the uploads read rather than needing to be told about it. Both halves fall when removed: dropping the pass fails it with the mutations named, dropping the hand annotation fails it naming `GET /api/v2/uploads/{session_id}` alone. It judges twenty operations rather than all forty-odd, and says so in as many words. Axum runs extractors before the handler body, so a route taking `Json<T>` with a required field answers 422 to the sweep's `{}` and never reaches `authenticated`. Sending each route a body it would accept means a fixture per route — the list this test exists in order not to have. An implication passes whenever nothing satisfies it, so the count is asserted: the test fails rather than going quietly vacuous.

Two review findings, both valid. **The one 403 written by hand carried no description.** `upload_session` is annotated directly, because it is a read that asks for `Access::Write` and the injection walks past it — and it said `(status = 403, body = ErrorResponse)` and nothing more, while the nineteen injected beside it explain what the refusal means and that retrying is futile. A generated client would document the same refusal two ways, with the read that most needs the explanation getting none. It now uses the same sentence verbatim. **`clear_security_on_public_operations` matched `get` and `post` and let every other method fall through to `None`.** No live bug: the list names only those two today. It became load-bearing with this branch — `annotate_scope_refusals` reads what that pass leaves behind, so a public `PUT` added later would keep the global requirement and be handed a 403 it can never answer, documenting a refusal on a route that holds no credential to refuse. All five methods are matched now. ## The silent half of that, which the finding did not ask for Matching more methods does not stop the lookup being two strings. A path that is renamed, or a method spelled `PUT` rather than `put`, still matches nothing and clears nothing, and the entry goes on looking right. That was cheap when the result was a missing security block and is not any more. `every_public_operation_is_found_and_cleared` walks `PUBLIC_OPERATIONS` and requires each entry to name an operation that exists and to leave it carrying no security requirement; an unrecognised method panics by name rather than being skipped. Restoring the old match and adding a public `PUT` fails it: "put /api/v2/queue is public and must carry no security requirement".

… cannot do #168 and #169 merged. `main` at `f78b8a8`, 162 tests, no pull request open, and §4 — replaying the four Subsonic clients by hand — is the only entry left under "what the next agent should pick up". It is also the only entry that has never been actionable from a session, which is why it has outlived three handoffs. The standing section now says once, plainly, what cost three merges today: `hash_password("correct horse battery staple")` is the repository's own test fixture, thirty-five times across nine files, and CodeQL raises a fresh critical alert for every *new* occurrence. Any pull request that adds a test creating an account is refused by the ruleset. Writing the test differently does not help. Four alerts were dismissed today and #137 is still open; the systemic answer was offered and not chosen, so per-alert dismissal is the standing one, and the next agent should expect to need it rather than discover it. The `artwork_dir` entry stays in the file rather than being deleted with the work, because what it now says is that this file previously got it wrong — "same shape, another store" is not true when the two stores have different writers, and a reader who trusts the old sentence will reach for a lock that cannot exist. Three traps from the review rounds. The one worth keeping is that a finding can be right about the danger and wrong about the fix: the thumbnail race was real, the handle it asked to join does not exist, and the test had been passing because a detached thread silently fails.

…tten Every one of them was true the day it was written, which is the whole difficulty and the reason the fix is a change of form and not only of figure. The handoff's first line held `f78b8a8` for days past the two dependabot merges that moved it. That is the defect its own traps describe, so the file now says so about itself and points at `git log -1`. It named CodeQL alert #137 as open on `main`, twice. #137 was dismissed and #142 is the open one — verified against the code-scanning API, not read off a document. But a number was the wrong thing to carry: which alert is open moves every time the rule fires and the operator dismisses. Both places now name the pattern and give the query, and the snapshot that remains is dated. Its two counts of the fixture had drifted the same way — thirty-five across nine files, now sixty-one across twelve, because the count grows with every target added. Replaced with the grep that answers it. And it credited the 422-before-401 note to "#168's sweep": #168 is the 403 declaration, #169 is the sweep. The note itself was re-examined and holds, so the reasoning it was missing is written down — extractor order, the nineteen handlers a fix would touch, the expired-token case that already answers 401, and the one condition that would change the trade. RFC-009 still listed the `artwork_dir` sweep as work in waiting. It shipped in #169, and it was not `sweep_canvas_store` with another directory — the entry said so and that was the part it got wrong.
