feat(interop): pin untrusted-decode bounds as a cross-SDK invariant (LAB-2503)

[27Bslash6]

What & why (LAB-2503)

Follow-up to cachekit-io/cachekit-ts#112 (LAB-2487). cachekit-py and cachekit-rs were bounded against nested-header decode amplification only by their libraries' defaults — no owned invariant, no regression test, and (found while doing this) the premise was wrong: the "82 MB hard ceiling" measured for msgpack-python was an artifact of the array16(10000) probe. With array32 headers claiming len(input) elements the default caps allow ~8 × 1024 × len(input) transient heap (10 KB → 67 MB measured). rmp-serde's 1024-deep default is not safe either: a debug build overflows a 2 MiB thread stack between 512 and 768 nested arrays (uncatchable abort), and serde's Vec<T> visitor pre-allocates up to 1 MiB per level from the declared length.

This PR makes the bound a protocol invariant:

• spec/interop-mode.md → Decode bounds (new): readers MUST bound nesting depth (≥ 32, ≤ 1024), MUST NOT pre-allocate beyond what the input can back (Σ declared slots ≤ input bytes − 1; incomplete documents rejected without materialising), and MUST fail closed with a catchable error. Today's SDK values recorded (ts 100, rs 100, py 1024 — the shared number stays #20's open item).
• test-vectors/decode-bounds.json (new): 10 reject vectors (nested array16/map16/array32(len) bombs, a complete 2048-deep spine, over-claiming array32/map32/bin32/str32, a truncated array) + 2 accept vectors (32-deep nesting, a fully backed array16) so the bound cannot over-tighten.
• tools/decode-bounds-reference.py (new, stdlib): generate / verify (recipe equality + depth/slot tag arithmetic; optional msgpack-python reject/accept leg). Wired into verify.yml in both Python legs.
• spec/wire-format.md Security Limits cross-ref, feature-matrix row, CHANGELOG.

SDK PRs consuming these vectors: cachekit-io/cachekit-py#276, cachekit-io/cachekit-rs#73.

Review

Expert panel (bug-hunter, security, code-craftsman, catchphrase) at critical stakes — verdict FIX-FIRST, all findings applied in the second commit: the false "rmp-serde satisfies the allocation rule inherently" claim corrected; the array16/map16 bombs now claim 2000 < input_len so a per-collection len(input) cap does not already reject them (they must discriminate for msgpack-python); repeated measurement prose trimmed; verify() de-duplicated.

Docs

Spec section, wire-format cross-ref, matrix, CHANGELOG all in this diff. python3 tools/decode-bounds-reference.py verify passes stdlib-only and with msgpack-python 1.2.1.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Security

  • Documented safeguards for untrusted MessagePack data, including nesting-depth limits, input-backed allocation checks, overflow protection and catchable failures for invalid payloads.
  • Added test vectors covering excessive nesting, over-claimed collections, truncated data, arithmetic overflow and valid boundary cases.

• Documentation

  • Updated interoperability and wire-format guidance with decode-bound requirements and cross-SDK expectations.
  • Updated the protocol compliance matrix to track decode-bound support.

• Verification

  • Added automated generation and validation of decode-bound test vectors to standard and optional-dependency checks.

Summary

This PR updates cross-SDK documentation and tracking to reflect the current status of the decode-bounds.json test vectors as a shared invariant across all CacheKit SDKs (LAB-2503).

Changes

Documentation status updates (CHANGELOG.md, sdk-feature-matrix.md)

• Updated the status of decode-bounds.json vendoring/CI-execution across SDKs:
  • cachekit-rs: PR docs: annotate Python TTL cells with the open fix cachekit-py#318 (LAB-4641) #73 now marked as merged (2026-09-13) with default CI green on main.
  • cachekit-py: PR #276 now marked as merged, with a note flagging a known CI issue — default CI is red on Python 3.10/3.11 due to a test-oracle RecursionError in the same suite (not a vector failure, tracked as LAB-3480).
  • cachekit-ts: Added tracking for the new PR #121 (still open) for vendoring/CI execution (LAB-2737).

Linter suppressions (tools/decode-bounds-reference.py)

• Added # noqa: TRY003 suppressions to several ValueError raises with inline messages in the reference/mutation-suite tooling. These are cosmetic lint-fix changes with no behavioral impact.

Purpose

The changes primarily keep the protocol repository's cross-SDK status tracking accurate as the untrusted-decode bounds vectors are progressively adopted by each SDK's CI, while transparently documenting a known CI flake in the Python SDK.

---

Summary

The title references decode-bounds pinning (LAB-2503), but the diff mostly contains CI wiring, CHANGELOG entries, SDK feature-matrix reconciliation and a spec note update. For decode bounds itself, the only change is a status update in the existing CHANGELOG entry: cachekit-ts#121 is now recorded as merged (2026-09-20). There are no functional code changes. All API and behavior changes below are documented in spec and CHANGELOG text only.

Changes

CI (.github/workflows/verify.yml)

• Runs tools/test_encryption_verify.py (keyring mutation suite) before encryption-verify.py in both the stdlib and pinned-extras lanes.
• Runs tools/test-frame-crosscheck-guard.mjs before frame-crosscheck.mjs, so a degraded lz4 allocation guard cannot report OK (LAB-1202).
• Neither script is added in this diff. Both are expected to exist already.

CHANGELOG — documented public API and contract changes

• SaaS API (LAB-557): New X-CacheKit-Fresh-For response header on GET /v1/cache/{key} 200.
  • Carries the remaining freshness in seconds.
  • SDK L1 backfill is bounded to min(local_ttl, fresh_for).
  • Validation: 1–7 digits, maximum 2,592,000; any other value is treated as 0.
  • Never sent on HEAD.
  • Includes rules for re-serving tiers.
• Other SaaS API changes:
  • Every response carries Cache-Control: no-store and Vary: Authorization.
  • The effective TTL is X-CacheKit-TTL, falling back to X-TTL.
  • GET /v1/cache/{key}/ttl returns {"ttl": null} for no-expiry keys.
  • Revalidation PUT must re-send the TTL.
• LAB-677 alignment:
  • DELETE is idempotent (200).
  • The health response shape has changed.
  • PATCH /ttl never returns 404.
  • Accepted key prefixes are ck_sdk_, ck_api_ and ck_live_; ck_test_ is removed.
  • X-CacheKit-L1-Status is required for ck_sdk_ keys.
  • HEAD on a missing key stays 404; the deployed server's 200 is recorded as a deviation.
• LAB-4093:
  • 401 is reserved for authoritative denials.
  • Auth backend faults return 503 with Retry-After.
• Intent presets (LAB-514): New normative spec/intent-presets.md.
  • Defines TTL defaults, L1 behavior and secure naming.
  • CACHEKIT_MASTER_KEY is a key source only and does not activate encryption.
  • Adds a per-SDK conformance table.
  • The master key minimum is corrected to 32 bytes.
• Encryption keyring (LAB-687):
  • Adds a keyring block to test-vectors/encryption.json (encrypted_with_k1 / encrypted_with_k2).
  • Adds verifier checks for derived-key fingerprint selection.
  • Adds a mutation suite.
  • Reconciles status banners with shipped code.
  • Clarifies the compromise runbook.
• LAB-513: TypeScript cache.secure.wrap() now throws ConfigurationError without configured encryption.

SDK feature matrix (sdk-feature-matrix.md)

• Key rotation:
  • Python: ✅ (0.18.0+).
  • Rust and TypeScript: 🚧, merged but unreleased.
  • Note ⁵ is rewritten accordingly.
• Secure API: The TypeScript "secure enforces encryption" cell changes from ❌ to ✅, and the related warnings, cross-references and code line references are updated.
• New sections:
  • A "Namespace semantics" per-SDK divergence table (LAB-646).
  • A row for server-bounded L1 backfill (X-CacheKit-Fresh-For).
• Other:
  • The intent-preset section links to the new spec.
  • The "last updated" note and the reversed-cells summary are refreshed.

Interop mode spec (spec/interop-mode.md)

• The warning that the SaaS validator rejects interop keys is replaced with a note.
• The note states that saas#91 landed in saas#231 and that interop-format keys are now accepted server-side.

---

Summary

This PR makes the untrusted-MessagePack decode bounds (LAB-2503) a stricter, testable cross-SDK invariant. It tightens the normative wording, expands the decode-bounds.json fixture, makes the reference tool derive vector metadata instead of trusting it, and downgrades SDK matrix cells that the stricter rules no longer support.

Spec changes

spec/interop-mode.md → Decode bounds

• Depth is now defined. Depth counts collection headers on the deepest path. A map counts one level, like an array; str, bin, ext and scalars count zero.
• Recursive decoders. A note says native recursive decoders can exhaust the stack below 1024 levels. SDKs SHOULD test a document at their own bound on their smallest supported stack.
• Slot rule is whole-document.
  • Σ declared slots ≤ input bytes − 1, summed over the entire document.
  • Per-header "fits remaining input" checks explicitly do not satisfy it.
  • ext lengths count as slots.
  • Staying within the sum does not make a document complete: truncated documents MUST still be rejected (example: 92 dc 00 00).
• New conformance-test MUST. An SDK's test must drive every reject vector through every untrusted decode entry point, including invalidation events. It must assert an error that only a pre-decode check can produce: the structural guard, or a size cap applied ahead of it. Asserting only that decoding failed, or calling the guard directly, does not demonstrate conformance.
• Measurements corrected. The msgpack-python figure is now ~82 MB.
• Residual amplification. The old "40× residual" note is replaced. Legal payloads can materialise ~72× their size (applied to the LZ4-decompressed input, up to 512 MiB). No normative cap exists; this is deferred to protocol#20.
• Other edits. Vector counts are updated to 17 reject / 3 accept. The Python guard is renamed to check_msgpack_structure. The test-vector summary paragraph is condensed.

spec/wire-format.md

• Security Limits restates the whole-document slot rule for collection, str, bin and ext lengths, checked before anything is materialised.
• Verification Flow now starts with a pre-scan step before deserialising the envelope. The flow has 8 steps instead of 7.
• The fixture note now points to decode-bounds.json.
• The python-frame.json section documents the twin_of declaration: verify hard-fails on it; generate only warns.

Test vectors: test-vectors/decode-bounds.json (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)

Changes are defined in the recipes in tools/decode-bounds-reference.py.

New reject vectors:

• nested_array16_each_header_fits_sum_overclaims
• nested_fixarray_depth_1025_complete, which replaces nested_fixarray_depth_2048_complete
• nested_fixmap_depth_1025_complete
• array32_sum_wraps_u32_small_first
• ext32_overclaim

New accept vector: nested_fixmap_depth_32.

The rule and field-note text is updated to match the spec.

Tooling

tools/decode-bounds-reference.py

• New walk() function. A header-only structural walk derives nesting_depth, declared_slots and completeness. It also computes flags for near-miss guard models: per-header fit, 32-bit running sum, 32-bit map multiply, and array-only depth.
• verify checks tags against the walk. Hand-entered tags must match what the walk derives, and accept vectors must be complete documents.
• Coverage checks. For each near-miss guard, the set must contain a reject vector that guard would wrongly pass. Negative controls ensure each model rejects something, so the checks are not vacuous.
• Clearer accept failures. An accept vector rejected by msgpack-python now raises a named error.
• CLI change. generate --require-extras is no longer rejected.

tools/test_decode_bounds_reference.py

New mutation tests cover:

• tag-versus-walk mismatches
• incomplete accept vectors
• dropping each coverage-discriminating vector
• forced-true near-miss models
• walk framing and flag tables
• a rejected accept vector

CI

.github/workflows/verify.yml now runs tools/test_python_frame_reference.py before the python-frame verify step.

SDK feature matrix (sdk-feature-matrix.md)

• Wire format (ByteStorage) is ⚠️ for Python, Rust and TypeScript. Each decodes the envelope through cachekit-core's ByteStorage::retrieve, which has no step-2 pre-scan.
• Test-vectors-in-CI cells:
  • Python and Rust are marked ⚠️ because their tests do not assert the guard's rejection.
  • TypeScript is updated to "since cachekit-ts#121" and asserts the guard errors. It remains ⚠️ for the envelope entry point, which has no guard to assert.
• Footnote 16 records which decode-bounds.json revision each SDK vendors.
• Python rows (SWR, preset TTL, max_retries) gain "through 0.19.0" qualifiers, updated line references, and links to the pending cachekit-py#318, #322 and #324.

CHANGELOG

• The LAB-2503 entries are updated to reflect the above.
• New entries describe:
  • an encryption.json default_tenant vector (LAB-4666)
  • python-frame.json twin_of enforcement (LAB-3967)
  • the python-frame-reference.py generate upsert refactor (LAB-1203)

---

This PR corrects the vendored-fixture coverage note in the wire-format specification. It does not pin untrusted-decode bounds as the title suggests. The only changes are documentation edits under LAB-1750, in spec/wire-format.md and CHANGELOG.md. There are no code, test-vector, or public API changes.

Changes

spec/wire-format.md

• Removed the outdated claim that cachekit-core vendors fixture 1.1.0, along with the paragraph describing the resulting coverage gap. That paragraph said width_boundary_bin16 had no canonical-writer (lz4_flex) compressed-byte check and no xxh3-64 checksum recomputation, and it listed three changes needed to re-vendor.
• Restated coverage: the re-encode assertions in cachekit-core/tests/wire_format_vectors.rs recompute each twin's lz4_flex bytes and xxh3-64 checksum for the vectors in the vendored fixture.
• Added a rule for anyone vendoring the fixture: derive each *_bin twin's expected MessagePack bin marker from its decoded compressed_data length:
  • up to 255 bytes: 0xc4
  • up to 65535 bytes: 0xc5
  • otherwise: 0xc6
• Explained why both simpler checks fail:
  • Asserting that every twin is bin8 fails on width_boundary_bin16_bin (0xc5, 303-byte compressed_data).
  • Accepting any of the three widths cannot detect a non-shortest header.
• Removed the related "vendored-version gap" caveats from the introduction and the LZ4 doctrine section.
• The liblz4 reference-mapping text (decode-verified against every vector; encode divergence pinned via LZ4_ENCODE_DIVERGENT) is unchanged in meaning.

CHANGELOG.md

• Added an entry, "Wire format — vendored-fixture coverage note corrected (LAB-1750)", summarizing the above. It records that cachekit-core now pins fixture 1.1.1.

Note

The PR title and branch name (lab-2503-decode-bounds) refer to untrusted-decode bounds under LAB-2503. The diff contains no such changes, so the title may need updating.

---

Summary

This PR adds a changelog fragment recording the LAB-2503 decode-bounds work. It also changes the interop-mode spec, the SDK feature matrix and CI. Several of these changes go beyond the PR title.

Changes

Changelog process (CI)

• New job, changelog-fragments: fails any non-release/* pull request that modifies CHANGELOG.md. Entries must be added as individual files under changelog.d/. This prevents merge conflicts on the shared ## [Unreleased] heading.
• New step: runs tools/test_changelog_collect.py, which includes a dry run of the next release against the current CHANGELOG.md and changelog.d/.

Changelog fragment (changelog.d/20260929_lab-2503.md)

The fragment records the LAB-2503 decode-bounds invariant:

• Nesting depth: readers MUST bound it (≥ 32, ≤ 1024).
• Pre-allocation: readers MUST NOT pre-allocate beyond what the input can back.
• Failure mode: readers MUST fail closed with a catchable error.
• Supporting artifacts: test-vectors/decode-bounds.json 1.1.0 and tools/decode-bounds-reference.py.
• Conformance test requirement: each SDK's test must assert that its structural guard rejects every reject vector at every untrusted decode entry point.
• Wire-format wording: related clarifications in spec/wire-format.md → Security Limits.
• Matrix status: ByteStorage and the decode-bounds test cells are marked ⚠️.
• Open items: the shared depth value and any cap on legal-payload materialisation remain with protocol#20.

Interop mode spec (spec/interop-mode.md)

• Reserved namespaces: ns and nsapi are now reserved and MUST NOT be used as an interop namespace.
  • Reason: the CachekitIO server parses keys starting with ns: or nsapi: as namespace-prefixed.
  • Scope: the reservation is exact-match and applies only to the namespace. nsapix is a valid namespace, and ns/nsapi are valid operations.
  • Enforcement: SDKs must reject these values at decoration or registration time, regardless of backend.
• SDK requirement 1: now explicitly includes the reserved-namespace check.
• SaaS Considerations:
  • Interop keys carry neither an ns: nor an nsapi: prefix.
  • The segment grammar is no longer described as a strict subset of the server validator. It now documents one exception: a segment may contain .., but the server validator rejects .. anywhere in a key, so such a key fails with 400. The status header notes this too.
• Test-vector counts:
  • key_vectors: 33 → 34, adding the reservation_scope vector.
  • error_vectors: 9 → 11, adding the reject_reserved_namespace_* vectors.

SDK feature matrix (sdk-feature-matrix.md)

• The "Test vectors in CI" row now lists the pending (unreleased) interop fixture 1.1.0 PRs:
  • cachekit-py#350
  • cachekit-rs#89
  • cachekit-ts#143
• The existing decode-bounds status notes for each SDK are unchanged.

- Line 37: Add a mutation test suite for the decode-bounds verifier, using the
existing verifier test patterns in tools/test_wire_format_reference.py and
tools/test_check_version_floors.py. Mutate each vector field and assert that
tools/decode-bounds-reference.py verify fails, then wire this suite into the
mutation-first sequence in verify.yml before the normal verifier invocation.
- Line 46: Update tools/decode-bounds-reference.py to add a require-extras flag
whose ImportError path fails instead of returning the stdlib-only result, then
invoke the verifier in verify.yml with that flag so the optional-deps leg
requires an importable msgpack module.

In `@sdk-feature-matrix.md`:
- Line 288: Update footnote ¹⁶ to include decode-bounds.json and reference the

concrete maximum SDK input size for valid payloads, require each SDK to enforce
that cap before MessagePack decoding, and document the catchable failure
behavior when the cap is exceeded.

In `@spec/wire-format.md`:
- Around line 381-384: Update the envelope decoding guidance to state that both

decoding.
- Line 380: Update the rmp-serde safety claim in the wire-format documentation
to remove “inherently,” clarify that declared collection lengths may cause Rust
readers to pre-allocate before child decoding, and require check_structure or an
equivalent pre-scan for Rust consumers.

In `@tools/decode-bounds-reference.py`:
- Line 83: Update the map32_max_claim_alone vector’s declared slot count to use
the pair-to-slot convention, doubling the declared pair count while preserving

Crypto/protocol expert-panel gate — PASS (SHIP)

Ran the mandatory crypto/protocol expert panel (bug-hunter, security, code-craftsman, catchphrase) at critical stakes against head 2d56cce. Both reference tools + mutation suites were executed with real deps (msgpack 1.2.1, cryptography 46.0.5); all 11 PR#59 guards fire.

No blocking findings.

• Security / bug-hunter — verified clean. Depth limit is pinned (MUST be ≥32, ≤1024) and the no-preallocation Σ-slots rule, so the LAB-2487 nested-header amplifier is closed (not "flat bounds without depth"). The two u32-wrap shapes (array32_sum_wraps_u32, map32_half_claim_wraps_u32_mul) pin the wasm32 64-bit-arithmetic requirement. All 13 reject / 2 accept vectors re-checked arithmetically against declared_slots > input_len − 1 and depth > 1024; stock msgpack-python rejects all 13 and accepts both. Signed-marker class N/A here (msgpack collection headers are unsigned by format).

Non-blocking findings (documented, not gating this signoff):

1. [MAJ, conformance-completeness] tools/decode-bounds-reference.py / test-vectors/decode-bounds.json — the depth ceiling (≤1024) is not pinned tightly: the pure-depth reject vector nests 2048, so a decoder with a depth bound anywhere in [1025, 2047] passes every vector yet violates the ratified ceiling. Such a decoder is still bounded and interoperable (accepts all legit ≤1024 docs, rejects the 2048 attack), so this is not a security/correctness gap — but the conformance suite under-enforces the spec letter. Recommend: add a pure-depth reject vector at MAX_DEPTH_CEILING + 1 (1025), or file a follow-up.
2. [MIN] The overclaim rule surfaced to authors as declared_slots > input_len − 1 is a sound sufficient reject condition but weaker than the real SDK guard (structural walk: each declared element/byte needs ≥1 backing input byte, multi-byte headers included). Recommend: label it as the vector-classification bound and point authors at the structural-walk rule for the runtime guard.
3. [MIN] Depth constants (32/1024, per-SDK 100/100/1024) are hand-written in spec prose and generated into decode-bounds.json.rules. Recommend: have the prose cite the vector file's rules block as the single source.
4. [informational] spec/wire-format.md v1 ByteStorage envelope has no explicit signed-original_size reject vector (step-4 checks only ≤ 512 MiB). Pre-existing, already closed for the v2 container (reject_negative_original_size), and the v1 field is uint32 (structurally rejected by typed decoders). Neither introduced nor claimed-fixed here — worth a parity follow-up vector, not a gate.

Kody's two open threads (spec/wire-format.md:448 unsafe-type-assertion on a markdown code block; tools/test_decode_bounds_reference.py:98 print-vs-logging) are style-rule nits on a doc line and a conformance CLI where print() is the intended interface — non-blocking.

CodeRabbit is clean (all threads resolved) and CI is green. Advancing to human signoff.

Expert panel (high stakes) — delta 2d56cce..b75adac: SHIP

Scope: only the two-file delta addressing Kody round 2 (b75adac); the critical-stakes PASS on 2d56cce above stands for the rest of the PR. Four agents (bug-hunter, security, code-craftsman, catchphrase), tools executed with real deps (msgpack 1.2.1).

• bug-hunter — no findings. Root logger holds exactly one stdout handler after test + tool run in one interpreter; exec_module of the tool never reaches its __main__ guard.
• security — no findings. Precision note applied: rmp-serde 1.3.1 deserialize_struct also accepts a map-encoded struct (no deny_unknown_fields), so the spec comment says "wrong arity or element type", not "shape". LengthMismatch on excess elements and serde typed visitors on short/wrong-typed ones verified against the pinned crate.
• craftsman / catchphrase — two tightenings, both applied in b75adac: failures exit via sys.exit(str) (stderr + exit 1, the tool's own fatal path) instead of logging.error to stdout; spec comment collapsed to one line that no longer reads as contradicting the element[0] dual-read line beneath it.

Verified at b75adac: mutation suite 11/11, verify --require-extras under msgpack 1.2.1, forced failure → stderr + exit 1 with empty stdout, ruff --select T20,F clean.

reflect that cachekit-py#276 and cachekit-rs#73 have merged while retaining
pending status because Python CI failed with cancelled test jobs and Rust checks
remain queued; preserve the footnote-16 default-CI execution criteria and leave
unrelated cells unchanged.

In `@tools/decode-bounds-reference.py`:
- Line 179: Update the four direct ValueError raises in
decode-bounds-reference.py, including the --require-extras diagnostic, to add
targeted noqa: TRY003 annotations; preserve their existing messages and
behavior.
