Phase 1 of #253. Deliberately not "closes": #253 also covers host binding, and this PR does not do that, so it must not auto-close on merge. See Scope below.

A captured RFC 9421 signature is currently a bearer credential. The node verifies it and keeps no record that it did, so the same signed request can be delivered again and applied again. Five probes against main at 111cff7 confirmed it: one signature POSTed to /api/v1/tasks three times produced three 201s and three rows, the same signature was accepted under three different Host headers, a created 250s in the future was accepted, and four whitespace variants of the Signature header all verified.

This makes a signature single-use on mutation routes and tightens the acceptance window.

What changed

sign_request now emits a 128-bit nonce in the Signature-Input parameter tail. The tail is what @signature-params is built from, so the nonce is covered by the signature without touching the covered-component list, and a verifier that predates it keeps working because it rebuilds @signature-params from the received header text.

check_created is one-sided. It accepted (now - created).abs() > 300, which let a signer pre-date created and hold a signature valid for twice the intended span. Forward skew is now 30s; the 300s backward budget is unchanged, because the verifier buffers the whole body before this check and a large pack spends its upload time inside that budget.

A new migration adds consumed_signatures, and a consume_signature layer charges every verified signature against it. The key is (identity, nonce) when the signer sent one and the signing-string hash otherwise, domain-separated. The fallback is what makes whitespace padding useless: those variants are distinct header bytes that reconstruct to one signing string, so keying on the reconstruction collapses them to one entry. Keying on the header would not have.

Layer order is load-bearing. Axum runs the last layer first, so the ledger is listed first and runs last: a request with a good signature but a rejected UCAN must not burn its key on the way to being denied. A test drives the real build_router and fails if the two layers are swapped.

Reads are skipped by method. write_routes chains PUT/DELETE/GET on the visibility path and gl drives that GET signed, so ledgering it would put a database write on the signed read path.

Failure is closed in both directions: a missing verified identity is a 500 rather than a pass-through, so a wrong layer order cannot silently delete the defence, and a ledger error is a 503.

GITLAWB_REQUIRE_SIGNATURE_NONCE (default false) closes the hash fallback once every client emits a nonce. It is enforced in the ledger layer only, not in require_signature, which also backs optional_signature: enforcing there would reject nonce-less signatures on authenticated reads and /graphql for un-upgraded clients.

GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT (default 600/IP/hour, 0 disables) puts a per-IP brake in front of the five write groups that had none. Without it, any freshly minted keypair could force a durable ledger row on a repo it does not own or that does not exist: the request verifies, charges a row, then 404s. Measured at ~428 bytes on disk and ~983 bytes of WAL per request.

gl fails loudly on every denial instead of handing back a response that pretty-prints like success, and the node message is capped and sanitised before it reaches a terminal. The denial codes live in one enum in gitlawb-core that the client matches exhaustively, so adding a code without handling it in the client is a compile error.

Scope, stated plainly

GraphQL mutations are not covered (#257). /graphql carries optional_signature, not the auth stack, and MutationRoot exposes create_task, claim_task, complete_task and fail_task. A captured signature over a GraphQL mutation stays replayable after this PR. Closing it means either extending the ledger to the signed half of /graphql or moving those mutations behind the auth stack, both larger than this change.

Cross-node replay stays open, which is the other half of #253 and why this PR does not close it. Nothing binds a signature to a host, so one capture is still accepted once by each node. Binding @authority is a bidirectional flag day (an old client fails on a new node and a new client fails on an old node, because the verifier builds the signing string from the client's component list), so it is separate work. This PR closes single-node replay, not the issue.

Peer routes are only covered when signed peer writes are on. With GITLAWB_REQUIRE_SIGNED_PEER_WRITES=false, which is the default, announce and sync/notify take optional_signature and are verified but never spent.

Denial detection is header-only. gl keys on X-Gitlawb-Error. A proxy that strips unknown X- headers returns the denial to the caller as a plain response. Reading the code from the body instead would mean rebuilding the response, which needs a dependency this branch should not carry.

Known issues not fixed here

All of these are filed, so please do not open a PR against them without checking the issue first.

• GITLAWB_REQUIRE_SIGNATURE_NONCE checks nonce length, not uniqueness #258 The nonce check enforces length, not entropy. A client sending a constant 16-character nonce passes it and then collides with itself for the retention window. Self-inflicted only, no effect on other identities. The doc comment's collision figure assumes a CSPRNG and should say so.
• Signature ledger: nonce-arm identity keying is unpinned, and the ledger-full 429 carries no Retry-After #259 The nonce branch keying on the resolved key rather than the wire DID is asserted in a doc comment but not covered by a test: reverting that line leaves the suite green. The property holds (the cap and single-use are both tested), the specific line is not pinned. Same issue covers the missing Retry-After on the ledger-full 429, which tells a client to retry without telling it when.
• gl init's create-repo path loses the status when the error body is not JSON #260 gl init's create-repo path parses the body before checking the status, and parses with .context(...)? rather than a fallback, so a non-JSON error body (the flood brake, a proxy error page) becomes a parse error and the status is lost. It is the only site that loses the status this way; the other capture-parse-then-check sites use unwrap_or_default(), so the status still surfaces there.
• sync_queue: enqueue_sync ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING never dedupes; per-ref notify enqueues N redundant full fetches #96 The federation retry is a mitigation, not a cure. It rides out a transient rejection, but a wide multi-ref push that trips a peer's per-identity cap needs the retention window to age out, which no in-process budget covers. Batching the fan-out into one multi-ref request is the structural fix, is a wire-format change, and is already tracked there. Refs that fail now surface in one summary line instead of one warning per ref.

Operational notes

Migration version 16 is deliberate, not the next free number. #173 currently numbers four migrations 11 through 14 and sits behind main, so on rebase they shift to 12 through 15. Whichever of the two merged second previously had its migration silently skipped, because the runner keyed on the version integer alone and never compared the recorded name. It now compares the name and refuses to start on a mismatch, naming both sides and the remedy, and warns about recorded versions this build does not define so an orphan row is visible before it becomes a boot failure. #173 and this PR need to agree on ordering before either merges.

gitlawb_signature_ledger_total{outcome} counts all eight outcomes of the layer, so the series sum is the traffic the layer saw. Note the brake rejects upstream of the layer, so its 429s appear in no series here.

One thing worth confirming before deploy: whether the production nodes share a Postgres. If they do the ledger is globally correct; if not it is per-node, which is the assumption the fail-closed behaviour is written against. I could not determine it from the repo.

Verification

1,109 tests, cargo fmt --all and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean. Every guard here was proven load-bearing by reverting the exact production line it protects and observing the test go red: the layer order, the GET skip, the fail-closed paths, the ledger's atomic insert, the per-identity cap, the sweep cutoff, the nonce validation, the rate brake, the retry gating, the migration name check, and the compile-time denial-code guard. The two acceptance tests filed with the issue are green with their #[ignore] removed.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds nonce-based replay protection for HTTP signatures, stores consumed signatures in a database ledger, and adds a per-IP signed-write rate limit. It also standardizes node denial codes and updates peer, CLI, and MCP response handling to use the shared denial contract.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a verified signature becomes single-use on mutation routes, which matches the nonce, consumed_signatures ledger, and consume_signature layer in the changeset. It also states the phase and issue reference, and it follows the Conventional Commits form the repository asks for. The length is at the high end but still readable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has a summary, motivation with a reference to #253, a 'What changed' section that names the crates touched, a verification section, and a protocol and signing impact discussion. It explicitly records scope limits and known issues. Gaps: the 'Kind of change' checkboxes are not ticked, the 'Closes #' line is replaced by an explicit no-close note, the 'How a reviewer can verify' block is empty, and the 'Before you request review' checklist is not marked. The protocol and signing block is also not marked. These are mostly process items, so the description is mostly complete.

@jatmn if you have time for this one, the parts most worth your attention are the three where a mistake would be invisible rather than loud.

Layer ordering. The ledger is listed first in add_auth_layers so it runs last, after the UCAN check. If it ran earlier, a request with a good signature but a rejected UCAN would burn its ledger key on the way to being denied, and the client could not retry those exact bytes. There is a test driving the real build_router that fails if the two are swapped, but this is the property I most expect a later refactor to undo quietly, so a second pair of eyes on the ordering argument itself is worth more than on the test.

The GET and HEAD skip in consume_signature. This is the deliberate hole in coverage: signed reads are not ledgered, because write_routes chains PUT, DELETE and GET on the visibility path and gl drives that GET signed. I convinced myself no mutation is reachable by those methods, including the HEAD that axum derives from a GET handler, but that is exactly the kind of thing I would rather have checked by someone who did not write it.

The two fail-closed paths. A missing verified identity is a 500 and a ledger error is a 503. Both exist so the defense cannot silently disappear: if either one passed the request through instead, the guard would vanish while every test stayed green. Worth trying to drive them to pass through.

More generally, the useful attack surface here is a permissionless one. Any caller can mint a fresh did:key, so anything that assumes an identity is scarce is probably wrong. The per-identity cap is the obvious example, and I would not be surprised if there is a way around it I have not thought of.

On the scope limits in the description (GraphQL mutations still replayable, cross-node replay still open, peer routes unledgered in the default config): those are decisions rather than oversights, and each has its reasoning in the body, so please do not feel you need to re-argue them. That said, if while you are in there you find that one of them is worse than I have assumed, or reachable in a way I have not described, I would genuinely like to know. Filed as #257 and the open half of #253 if it is easier to comment there.

Happy to walk through any of it if something reads oddly.

Create-repo is the one write left parsing the body before the status.

The branch reads repo_result from the unconditional resp.json() above it, so a non-JSON denial on this route (proxy 502, text/plain 429) fails with invalid JSON from create repo and never reaches repo_already_exists — the exact mismatch json_or_denial was introduced to remove everywhere else in this PR. Still an error, just the wrong one.

Reading the body under a cap keeps the repo_exists tolerance intact:

♻️ Route the denial through the shared helper, keeping the tolerance

-    let repo_status = resp.status();
-    let repo_result: Value = resp.json().await.context("invalid JSON from create repo")?;
-
-    if !repo_status.is_success() {
+    let repo_status = resp.status();
+    if !repo_status.is_success() {

+        let repo_result: Value = serde_json::from_slice(&raw).unwrap_or(Value::Null);
         // Key on the node's structured code, never on its prose: the replay
         // denial's message is "this signature has already been used - sign a
         // fresh request", which a `contains("already")` check read as "the repo
         // is already there, carry on" and reported success for a repo that was
         // never created.
         if !repo_already_exists(&repo_result) {
             let msg = repo_result["message"].as_str().unwrap_or("unknown error");
             anyhow::bail!(
                 "create repo failed ({repo_status}): {}",
                 crate::http::sanitize_node_msg(msg)
             );
         }
         println!("  Repository already exists — continuing.");
     } else {
+        let _repo_result: Value = resp.json().await.context("invalid JSON from create repo")?;
         println!("  Repository created.");
     }

Requires binding the response as let mut resp = client.post(...).

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

• [P2] Route MCP error handling through the capped, sanitized denial helpers
  crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1303-1317
json_ok still calls resp.json() with no byte cap and interpolates the node's raw message/error into tool errors without sanitize_node_msg. Every other denial-aware path this PR adds in crates/gl/src/http.rs (read_body_capped, json_or_denial, send_signed → into_error) caps hostile bodies and strips terminal control/bidi characters before they reach a caller. MCP is explicitly in scope for this change — the PR adds json_ok to stop 4xx/5xx bodies from deserializing as successful tool results — but left this helper on the old pattern. A malicious or compromised node can force an unbounded allocation on a failed tool call and smuggle terminal control sequences into MCP-visible errors.

• [P2] Cap git_refs denial bodies before buffering
  crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:805-811
git_refs calls resp.bytes().await? before checking status, so a non-2xx response is fully buffered even when the call will fail. The status check itself is correct (the test at mcp::tests::test_git_refs_denial_errors_not_empty_refs covers that), but the read is uncapped. Please read through read_body_capped for denials the same way sync.rs and json_or_denial do, and only pass the bounded body to parse_info_refs on success.

• [P2] Emit X-Gitlawb-Error on the receive-pack info/refs rate limit
  crates/gitlawb-node/src/error.rs:137-167, crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:556-563
  This PR makes flood-brake 429s machine-readable by giving rate_limit::too_many_requests() both a JSON error: rate_limited body and an X-Gitlawb-Error header, and it changes AppError::TooManyRequests to use the same wire code in the JSON body. But AppError::IntoResponse still omits the header. git_info_refs applies the shared push_rate_limiter inline and returns AppError::TooManyRequests; the following git-receive-pack POST hits the same bucket through rate_limit_by_ip → too_many_requests(), which does carry the header. gl classifies denials from the header only, so the two steps of a push can return different 429 shapes from one limiter. Please route this path through the same response helper as the middleware brake, or add the header in AppError::TooManyRequests's IntoResponse.

Follow-up (not blocking merge)

• [P3] Serialize the per-identity ledger cap check under concurrency
  crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:1530-1559
  The live COUNT + conditional INSERT can both pass when two distinct signatures from the same identity arrive in parallel at n == 511, so the 512-row ceiling can be exceeded by roughly the in-flight request count. Replay atomicity is fine (sig_hash PK); this is a separate TOCTOU on the cap. Worth hardening if you need a strict ceiling under burst concurrency, but the per-IP brake bounds how fast rows accumulate and overshoot is bounded by parallelism, not unbounded.

• [P3] Finish the json_or_denial migration on PR/issue comment writes
  crates/gl/src/pr.rs:437-450, crates/gl/src/pr.rs:473-486, crates/gl/src/issue.rs:311-324
  Sibling commands in the same files were migrated; these three were not. send_signed still catches every NodeDenial with a header before they run, so this is polish for the proxy-strips-header / non-JSON-body cases you already document in http.rs, not a silent-success gap.

• [P3] Finish the gl init create-repo status/body ordering
  crates/gl/src/init.rs:145-148
  Tracked in #260. Signature ledger denials are caught by send_signed; the gap is non-JSON error bodies surfacing as parse failures. Fine to land here or in the follow-up you already filed.

• [P3] Move the retry-gate rustdoc onto classify_notify_status
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:816-843
  Docs-only. CodeRabbit's split is right: keep the one-line result summary on NotifyAttempt and move the classification rationale onto the function.

Author hotspot check

I spent extra time on the three areas you called out to me:

Layer ordering — The add_auth_layers stack is correct for Axum's last-listed-runs-first semantics: require_signature → require_ucan_chain → consume_signature → handler. send_full_auth through the real build_router plus a_ucan_rejection_does_not_burn_the_signature would catch a UCAN/ledger swap. The ordering argument in server.rs matches the code.

GET/HEAD skip — The only GET behind add_auth_layers is visibility::list_visibility on the chained PUT/DELETE/GET route. That handler only reads and returns rules; HEAD is axum-derived from the same GET handler. I did not find a mutation reachable through GET or HEAD on a ledgered router.

Fail-closed paths — Missing SignatureIdentity returns 500 signature_identity_missing; ledger DB errors return 503 signature_ledger_unavailable. Neither path calls next.run(). Metrics tests cover both outcomes.

Permissionless cap — Cap counting on key_fingerprint (not wire DID spelling) looks correct for the stated model. A concurrent TOCTOU at the cap boundary is possible (see follow-up above) but is bounded by request parallelism and the per-IP signed-write brake, not a permissionless bypass of the cap scheme itself.

I did not find the documented scope limits (GraphQL mutation replay #257, cross-node replay, default-config unledgered peer routes) to be worse or more reachable than you described. Post-ledger signature spend on handler/per-DID/iCaptcha rejection is an explicit documented tradeoff, not a defect.

CodeRabbit

The two actionable inline comments map to the P2 MCP finding and the P3 doc split above. The init.rs nit is in follow-up and #260.

Mergeable, no conflicts. All required CI checks green on head 2f4995bae0d0cfaf052194371a0e3931a503ed1a. Coordinate migration v16 ordering with #173 before either PR lands — that is an operational sequencing note, not a code defect in this diff.

[euxarist]

The ledger design here is solid: the advisory-lock serialization closes the concurrent-replay race, the per-identity row bound plus the 300s sweep keeps it bounded, and layering the per-IP brake outside auth so unverified flood traffic never reaches the ledger is the right shape. Two things I think block merge:

1. check_created still computes now - self.created in plain subtraction on an attacker-supplied i64. With created = i64::MIN the future-skew check passes, then the subtraction panics in debug builds pre-authentication; in release it wraps negative and silently skips the age check. #334 fixes this exact line with saturating_sub plus tests at all four i64 extremes. Please take that fix onto this branch (or coordinate so whichever lands second carries it), because the two PRs also disagree on the future-skew constant: this one uses 30s, #334 uses 60s. The ledger TTL derivation (MAX_SIGNATURE_AGE_SECS + MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS + 60) inherits whichever constant wins, so the reconciliation has to be deliberate.

2. The migration-runner name-collision guard makes startup fail closed fleet-wide, and the v16 ordering pact with #173 is an operational commitment hiding inside a signature-ledger PR. I would like explicit reviewer sign-off on that behavior specifically, or the guard split out, before this rides the train. The gl denial-handling and federation-retry material likewise read as their own review units.

Expect an error for the unterminated component.

This fixture has no closing quote after @method. parse_covered_component returns an error for that token, so the new .expect(...) panics and fails the test suite. Assert that parsing returns Err without a panic; do not make the parser accept the malformed component. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use the shared forward-skew limit in check_created.

Line 175 accepts signatures created up to 60 seconds ahead, but MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS is 30. The new test for a signature 31 seconds ahead therefore fails. The ledger also retains a spent signature using the 30-second limit. If an instance with a clock 60 seconds ahead sweeps that row, another instance can still accept the captured signature for approximately 29 seconds. Use MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS here so verification and retention use the same window. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

signed_write_rate_limiter is missing from this list. When source IPs stop sending requests, their entries and timestamp vectors remain allocated until the limiter reaches its key ceiling. Existing-key pruning does not reclaim those inactive entries.

Add self.signed_write_rate_limiter.cleanup().await so the new bucket receives the same periodic reclamation as the other buckets.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Merge readiness

• Required checks test (stable), test (beta), and test (windows, non-blocking) are failing on head dbf301e8 with two gitlawb-core unit failures (future_dated_created_outside_skew_is_rejected, malformed_signature_input_always_errors_never_panics). Merge state is BLOCKED until those pass.
• Migration v16 ordering must be reconciled with #173 before merge, as the PR body states; confirm fleet migration catalogue on a single ordering plan.
• #253 remains open by design (host binding / cross-node replay, GraphQL mutations per #257); not blockers for this phase if scope is accepted.

Attribution (drift check): None of the code findings below ask the author to fix unchanged main debt. Merge-base already used 60s forward skew in check_created; this review does not treat that alone as a defect — only this PR’s claim of 30s tightening while verification still reads 60s. Items explicitly excluded from Findings after re-check: GraphQL replay (#257), post-ledger spend (documented in server.rs), header-only gl denials (PR body), default peer routes without spend (README), #260 gl init (filed separately).

Findings

🟡 P2 — Single forward-skew contract across verification, TTL, tests, and docs

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-core/src/http_sig.rs (MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS, HttpSignature::check_created), crates/gitlawb-node/src/auth/mod.rs (SIGNATURE_LEDGER_TTL_SECS, ledger_ttl_keeps_a_margin_over_the_acceptance_window), new http_sig tests.

💥 What fails: CI rejects head: future_dated_created_outside_skew_is_rejected expects created = now + 31 to fail, but check_created still allows up to 60s ahead (MAX_FUTURE_SECS hardcoded). Ledger TTL and auth comments derive retention from 30s (MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS), so the spent-signature retention window does not match the verifier’s real forward acceptance window once both verifier and sweep are aligned.

🔎 Root cause: This PR exports MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS = 30, adds boundary tests tied to it, and wires TTL math to it, but never changes check_created (still the merge-base 60s local constant). Doc block on check_created still says “60 seconds into the future” while the module constant and PR description say 30s.

📜 Stated contract:

PR description: “Forward skew is now 30s.”
MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS and ledger_ttl_keeps_a_margin_over_the_acceptance_window assume a 330s arrival window built from that 30s forward bound.

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced inconsistency. Merge-base had 60s forward skew only and no ledger; head adds the 30s story without retargeting check_created.

📌 In this PR:

• check_created forward bound — still 60s
• MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS + new skew tests — 30s
• SIGNATURE_LEDGER_TTL_SECS / sweep comments — derived from 30s
• README / module docs — claim 30s tightening

🔒 Unchanged on main: No consumed_signatures on base. We are not asking to “adopt 30s” as unsolicited policy — only to match what this PR already claims.

🔧 Required correction: Make check_created use MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS (and update its doc string to match). Reconcile any remaining tests that hardcode 61/30s against that single constant. Confirm SIGNATURE_LEDGER_TTL_SECS still covers the live acceptance window after the change (existing unit test should pass without silently widening skew). Wire production sweep (Finding 2) in the same pass so TTL and deletion stay consistent.

🛠️ Author fix: One pass over http_sig.rs + auth TTL commentary; run cargo test -p gitlawb-core and node ledger TTL test.

🚫 Out of scope: Cross-node host binding (#253), GraphQL ledger extension (#257). Not “change main’s historic 60s skew” without this PR’s 30s claim — that would be scope drift the other way.

🟡 P2 — New malformed_signature_input case contradicts the strict component parser

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-core/src/http_sig.rs — malformed_signature_input_always_errors_never_panics (unbalanced-quote tail) and parse_covered_component.

💥 What fails: CI: the test calls .expect("an unbalanced quote is tolerated, not a parse failure") but parse returns Err("unterminated component string"), so the test panics.

🔎 Root cause: The test table requires every malformed case to return Err, then appends a contradictory tail asserting an unbalanced quoted component parses successfully. The parser correctly rejects unterminated strings (safe on unauthenticated input).

📜 Stated contract:

Test preamble: “Every entry here must come back as Err; the test failing by panic is the case it exists for.”

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced test tail; parser strictness pre-existed on merge-base.

📌 In this PR:

• malformed_signature_input_always_errors_never_panics unbalanced-quote section
• parse_covered_component (unterminated component string)

🔒 Unchanged on main: Parser behavior on base already rejected this shape.

🔧 Required correction: Either drop the “tolerated” tail and assert parse(...).is_err() for the unbalanced-quote header (consistent with the table), or, if tolerance is truly required, change parse_covered_component and justify — but do not leave CI red.

🛠️ Author fix: Fix the test (preferred) or parser in one commit with cargo test -p gitlawb-core malformed_signature_input.

🚫 Out of scope: Broader RFC 9421 parser hardening beyond this PR’s claims.

---

🟠 P1 — Production never sweeps consumed_signatures despite retention design

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs (sweep_expired_signatures), crates/gitlawb-node/src/lib.rs (300s periodic cleanup task).

💥 What fails: The ledger table grows with every spent signature forever. Expired rows are never deleted in production; only sweep_expired_proofs runs on the existing timer. Disk/WAL accumulate (~428 B/row per PR measurements) without bound. While sweep is missing, already_spent tends to over-block (not under-block) replays; fixing sweep without fixing skew/TTL alignment (Finding 1) is what would open an under-retention replay window.

🔎 Root cause: v16 and sweep_expired_signatures ship with unit tests, but the startup periodic task never calls the new sweep. Comments in auth/mod.rs about TTL + cross-instance sweep assume rows age out.

📜 Stated contract:

sweep_expired_signatures doc: “This is what keeps the table proportional to the retention window rather than to total requests seen.”

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced table + sweep function; wiring gap PR-introduced.

📌 In this PR:

• sweep_expired_signatures implementation + tests
• lib.rs periodic cleanup loop (proofs only)
• consume_signature TTL / cross-instance skew commentary

🔒 Unchanged on main: No ledger table on base.

🔧 Required correction: Invoke db.sweep_expired_signatures(now) in the same 300s task as sweep_expired_proofs, with warn-level logging on failure. Ship together with Finding 1 so retention matches the live verifier window.

🛠️ Author fix: One-line production wiring + optional metric/log of rows deleted; extend sweep test or integration smoke if needed.

🚫 Out of scope: Changing ledger key scheme or cap logic.

---

🔵 P3 — Operator copy overclaims ledger spend on signed-write routes

📍 Where: .env.example, README.md (signed-write rate limit blurb) vs crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs (signed-write rate_limit_by_ip outside add_auth_layers).

💥 What fails: Docs state every signed attempt on those routes spends a ledger row before handler checks. Over-limit clients get 429 / rate_limited before signature verification and before consume_signature (by design in server.rs and tests).

🔎 Root cause: New operator text describes the handler-side spend story but not the outer IP brake exception already implemented and tested.

📜 Stated contract:

.env.example (diff): signed attempts spend consumed_signatures before ownership/existence checks.

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced copy + brake.

📌 In this PR:

• .env.example / README signed-write paragraphs
• server.rs comments documenting brake-before-ledger (accurate)

🔒 Unchanged on main: No signed-write brake on base.

🔧 Required correction: Align README and .env.example with server.rs: IP-braked rate_limited 429s do not touch the ledger; only requests that pass the brake enter the auth stack and may spend.

🛠️ Author fix: Edit both operator surfaces in one pass; no router change needed.

🚫 Out of scope: docs/RUN-A-NODE.md full duplication (unless this PR already edits that file).

Needs maintainer decision

Gossip peer ping: revert hysteresis, keep one-shot, or split PR?

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-node/src/lib.rs (gossip_task periodic ping).

💥 What changes: One failed /health probe now immediately persists last_ping_ok = false. Merge-base required two consecutive failures (gossip_ping_round_requires_two_failures_before_persisting_unreachable, removed in this diff).

🔎 Why not a Findings bullet: The change is real and PR-introduced, but it is not part of #253 phase 1 (signature replay ledger). Treating it as a merge-blocking code defect would conflate unrelated federation behavior with this feature.

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced behavior change on a path that existed on main; not fixing pre-existing main debt.

Choices:

1. Revert two-failure hysteresis in this PR (or a follow-up before merge if maintainers want zero drive-by diff).
2. Keep one-shot failure and document federation semantics in operator docs.
3. Split gossip/ping changes to a separate PR so #261 stays replay-ledger scoped.

Recommendation: Prefer (1) or (3) unless maintainers explicitly want federation flap behavior changed in the same merge.

[beardthelion]

@jatmn pushed ea494bb4. Each point against your latest review:

check_created still allows up to 60s ahead

check_created now reads MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS and MAX_SIGNATURE_AGE_SECS, and its doc comment names the constant. future_dated_created_outside_skew_is_rejected was failing on the old head and passes now. ledger_ttl_keeps_a_margin_over_the_acceptance_window still passes unchanged.

the test calls .expect("an unbalanced quote is tolerated...") but parse returns Err

Fixed in the test, not the parser: the unbalanced-quote header now asserts is_err(). All 37 http_sig tests pass.

Production never sweeps consumed_signatures

Wired in. The 300s task now goes through sweep_expired_ledgers, which sweeps both the iCaptcha proofs and the spent signatures and warns on failure. The new test periodic_sweep_ages_out_both_replay_ledgers fails on "an expired signature row must have been swept" with the signature sweep removed, and passes with it.

Operator copy overclaims ledger spend on signed-write routes

README and .env.example now say a request that passes the brake spends a ledger row, and one over the limit gets 429 rate_limited before verification and never touches the ledger.

Gossip peer ping: revert hysteresis, keep one-shot, or split PR?

This was an accident, not a decision. The merge of main into this branch dropped the two-failure hysteresis (gossip_ping_round, peer_ping_db_update and their tests). It is restored from main, and the hysteresis tests pass.

CodeRabbit's check_created and unterminated-quote findings are the first two items above. Its state.rs finding (signed-write limiter missing from the periodic sweep) was fixed in dbf301e8.

gitlawb-core tests pass locally (178/178), and fmt and clippy are clean. CI is still running on the new head.

[beardthelion]

check_created still computes now - self.created in plain subtraction on an attacker-supplied i64

This head already uses saturating_sub on both sides (http_sig.rs, check_created), so i64::MIN no longer panics or wraps. Not adding anything further here.

the two PRs also disagree on the future-skew constant: this one uses 30s, #334 uses 60s

Reconciled on this side: check_created now uses MAX_FUTURE_SKEW_SECS (30s), and the ledger TTL derives from the same constant, so verification and retention cannot disagree. Whichever of the two lands second needs to carry that constant rather than a literal.

The migration-runner name-collision guard makes startup fail closed fleet-wide... I would like explicit reviewer sign-off on that behavior

The guard stays in this PR. A version collision cannot heal on retry, so failing closed with a distinct readiness state is the intended behavior, and the v16 ordering with #173 is a sequencing note for whoever merges second.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Fail registration when the response contains no bootstrap UCAN.

If a node returns successful JSON without a nonempty ucan, this branch says the identity is not verified, but run returns Ok(()). A script can therefore proceed as if registration completed, although no token was saved. The node’s successful registration response includes a UCAN. Return an error for the missing-token case.

On head ea494bb4, most required checks on the latest run (43314100027) are green: fmt + clippy, cargo audit, build --release, Docker build smoke test, and dependency-purity gates passed. test (stable), test (beta), and Analyze (rust) were still pending when this draft was updated. test (windows, non-blocking) failed on that run; the job name marks it non-blocking, and failure logs were not yet available—triage for PR ownership if you rely on it for merge.

The branch base matches current main (55ca89b, zero commits behind); no rebase conflict surfaced in this review.

🟡 P2 — Wire GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT at node startup like the other IP brakes

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-node/src/lib.rs signed-write limiter construction; operator surfaces crates/gitlawb-node/src/config.rs, README.md, .env.example.

💥 What fails: An operator sets GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT or --signed-write-rate-limit expecting to tune or disable the per-IP brake that runs before signature verification on the signed write route groups. The node still constructs the limiter at a fixed 600 requests/hour:

let signed_write_rate_limiter =
    rate_limit::RateLimiter::new_bounded(600, std::time::Duration::from_secs(3600), 200_000);

Peer and sync trigger limiters in the same block already use config.peer_write_rate_limit and config.sync_trigger_rate_limit with disable warnings when zero. The signed-write knob is parsed and documented but not read here, so 0 does not disable and non-default caps have no effect. With the variable unset, behavior still matches default 600; the defect is operator control and the documented disable path, not absence of the brake at defaults.

🔎 Root cause: This PR adds the env var, CLI field, README/.env.example copy, and AppState.signed_write_rate_limiter, but the production startup path never connects Config::signed_write_rate_limit to RateLimiter::new_bounded, unlike the sibling brakes wired in the same run() block.

📜 Stated contract:

0 disables. Default: 600.

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base 55ca89b has no GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT field and no signed_write_rate_limiter startup path; head adds the knob and docs but hardcodes 600 at startup. Not a pre-existing main bug and not scope drift—the fix is to mirror the peer/sync wiring this PR already uses beside it.

📌 In this PR:

• config.rs — signed_write_rate_limit with env/CLI and disable semantics in the field doc
• lib.rs — hardcoded 600 limiter construction
• README.md and .env.example — operator copy claiming the variable controls the brake (0 disables)

🔒 Unchanged on main: Peer/sync IP limiter wiring on main is the template; do not redesign rate limiting, ledger behavior, or route attachment outside this PR's new bucket.

🔧 Required correction: Initialize signed_write_rate_limiter with config.signed_write_rate_limit (same hour window and key bound as today). When the value is 0, emit a startup warning matching the peer/sync disable warnings. Add regression evidence that startup honors a non-default config value (a focused test against the wiring block is enough; harness tests that mutate AppState directly do not cover this).

🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every in-PR row in one pass: wire config at startup, add the zero-disable warning, and extend operator-copy or startup tests so an env change cannot drift again without failing CI. Do not patch only README prose.

🚫 Out of scope: Changing default 600 when unset, ledger semantics, route groups on the brake, GraphQL/host-binding gaps called out as phase‑1 deferrals, and unrelated limiters on main.

Wire GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT at node startup

Done. Startup now builds the limiter from config.signed_write_rate_limit (same hour window and key bound), and 0 logs a disable warning like the peer and sync limiters. signed_write_limiter_tests covers a limit of 2 (third request refused), 0 (never refused) and the unset default (600). The first two failed against the old hardcoded value.

Also from CodeRabbit's latest pass: gl init now treats repo_exists as already-exists only on HTTP 409.

The test (stable) and test (beta) failure was converted_handlers_never_parse_before_status: this PR moved register.rs and webhook.rs to json_or_denial, so the scan no longer saw them. It now counts json_or_denial call sites, and a bare resp.json() in register.rs turns it red. profile.rs and init.rs are excluded in a named list (profile.rs still has two older parse-before-status reads; init.rs only trips on its test module).

fmt, clippy and cargo test -p gl are green locally. CI is running on the new head.

crates/gitlawb-node/src/state.rs:483-486
Major · Data Integrity & Integration · Heavy lift

Webhook deliveries can stall when a non-sealing node claims the delivery.

Each node derives its webhook key from its own identity. A hook row created on node A is sealed with A's key. In a shared database, a different node can claim that hook's delivery. The claim is keyed by request, ref and hook, not by node. The claiming node cannot open the secret, withholds the POST, and leaves the ledger row pending. The event is not sent unless the sealing node later wins the claim.

The stored secret is not lost. The sealing node can still open it. The effect is delayed or missing deliveries for hooks that other nodes claim.

A localized fix is not established. The correct design depends on whether shared-database nodes should share a sealing key or whether claims should be restricted to the sealing node. Decide that policy before changing the claim path.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not classify every numeric comparison as a full status guard.

A handler with if resp.status().as_u16() >= 500 { return Err(...); } followed by resp.json().await? passes this check. Its 404 response still reaches success-body parsing, contrary to this gate's stated requirement.

Reject numeric comparisons unless the scan establishes that the guard excludes every non-2xx status. Requiring a supported is_success() guard is a simpler alternative. Add this counterexample to the classifier tests.

As per the retrieved learning, response handling must reject non-2xx responses before decoding the success body.

@jatmn pushed c6df2a25, a merge of current main (the branch was behind it and conflicting).

The conflict was #196's shared per-IP write brake, which covers the same route groups as this PR's separate signed-write brake. This PR now uses the shared one: GITLAWB_SIGNED_WRITE_RATE_LIMIT and its startup wiring are removed, so your request to wire that knob no longer applies. The brake still sits in front of auth, so an over-limit request spends no ledger row. signed_write_flood_is_braked_before_the_ledger and the second-IP test now run against the shared bucket. The visibility GET draws from the same bucket, as it does on main.

The 429 keeps the X-Gitlawb-Error: rate_limited code and JSON body, since gl uses it to tell the brake from the ledger's 429.

The orphan-migration report now runs on the migration lock's connection. Its listing query still used the pool, which would have deadlocked on a pool of one.

Full workspace tests and clippy pass locally. CI is running on the new head.

Issues to address before merge.

Merge readiness

Coordinate migration ordering with #173 before either PR lands (v16 vs that branch’s migration series). The name-collision guard is intentional on this head; the remaining work is merge sequencing and a staging migrate, not changing that behavior.

test (stable) reported one failure in reconciliation.rs (outside this diff). Re-run on the current head before treating it as a merge blocker.

cargo audit red appears tied to baseline advisories; this diff’s lockfile change is minimal. Confirm maintainer policy.

Confirm deploy assumptions for shared vs per-node Postgres (ledger correctness vs operator expectations).

🟡 P2 — AppError::RateLimited still omits X-Gitlawb-Error

📍 Where: crates/gitlawb-node/src/error.rs (IntoResponse), crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/issues.rs (create_issue_comment; close_issue write-bucket path via write_rate_limiter).

💥 What fails: After consume_signature admits a request, the handler can return AppError::RateLimited (429, body rate_limited) with no X-Gitlawb-Error. gl::send_signed does not treat that as a denial. Retrying the same signed bytes can yield 409 signature_replayed although the mutation never applied.

🔎 Root cause: The shared enum wiring sets the JSON error field from NodeDenial::RateLimited, and sibling paths already attach the header (per-IP flood brake; AppError::TooManyRequests on the same routes). The AppError::RateLimited branch still only adds Retry-After.

📜 Stated contract:

When the node refuses a write it answers with an X-Gitlawb-Error header and a matching error field in the JSON body. The gl client keys off that header…
— crates/gitlawb-core/src/node_denial.rs

🏷️ Attribution: PR-activated replay trap on a path this PR’s ledger makes worse; header gap is the unfinished sibling of work already landed for other 429 sources on this head.

📌 In this PR:

• crates/gitlawb-node/src/error.rs — header insert for TooManyRequests only
• crates/gitlawb-core/src/node_denial.rs, crates/gl/src/http.rs — header-keyed client

🔒 Unchanged on main: Issue limiter thresholds; ledger vs handler ordering.

🔧 Required correction: Attach X-Gitlawb-Error: rate_limited for AppError::RateLimited (keep Retry-After). Add a unit test parallel to too_many_requests_carries_rate_limited_header.

🛠️ Author fix: One change in error.rs plus test; do not reorder middleware or ledger layers.

🚫 Out of scope: Ledger placement, GraphQL replay (#257), peer-route defaults, outer IP brake (already headered on this head).

@jatmn pushed 317f097b.

AppError::RateLimited still omits X-Gitlawb-Error

Confirmed: the variant answered 429 with only Retry-After, so gl did not read it as a denial. It now sets X-Gitlawb-Error: rate_limited and keeps Retry-After. rate_limited_carries_header_and_retry_after returned no header before the change and passes now.

The branch is also current with main again (two new commits, no conflicts). The README gossip paragraph named "the flag" under the nonce section while describing GITLAWB_REQUIRE_SIGNED_PEER_WRITES; it now names that flag explicitly.

On the migration ordering with #173: nothing changes on this side, the guard stays as it is. CI is running on the new head.

Merge readiness

• At the reviewed snapshot, the branch was current and mergeable, with no release-metadata rollback. One approving review is required.
• Beta tests failed in reconciliation::tests::sweep_restores_tigris_cache_miss_and_skips_missing: “only the restored repo scans,” expected 1, observed 0. That test and production path are unchanged in this PR and passed locally during the broader run; this looks unrelated to the signature change. Resolve or rerun that check before merge. Stable tests, including the separate deny harness, Windows tests, fmt/clippy, release build, Docker smoke, audit, and MSRV passed.
• Formatting nit: remove or move the standalone <!-- verbatim --> at README.md:414. It ends the settings table, rendering the following 24 settings as pipe-delimited prose. Base/head Markdown rendering confirms this.

🟡 P2 — Bound new ledger writes on both issue-route exceptions

📍 Where: auth::consume_signature, lines 763–775, reached through server.rs’s issue_write_routes.

💥 What fails: A single source can generate fresh signing keys and repeatedly POST to a nonexistent repository’s issues/{id}/close or issues/{id}/comments. Each request commits a consumed_signatures row before returning 404, without reaching any IP limiter. Rotating keys bypasses the 512-row identity cap, allowing ledger/index/WAL growth at request rate despite the configured source budget.

A real-build_router probe exhausted a one-request IP budget first, then sent four requests from fresh keys at that same address, alternating the two routes. All returned 404; ledger rows grew 1 → 2 → 3 → 4. Malformed comment JSON also allocated rows before its extractor rejection.

🔎 Root cause: The new shared auth layer charges the ledger before calling the handler:

Ok(crate::db::ConsumeSignature::Inserted) => {
    next.run(request).await
}

These two issue routes deliberately have no outer write brake. Their existing handlers perform authorize_repo_read before debiting the shared IP bucket. That pre-existing ordering preserves opaque read denials. This PR adds a durable ledger write ahead of that boundary, so the new allocation escapes both the visibility denial and the source-budget check. An already-exhausted bucket also cannot prevent this allocation on visible repositories.

📜 Stated contract:

“The brake sits outside add_auth_layers, so the property under test is that an over-limit request costs no ledger row, not merely that it is refused.”
— test_support.rs, replay-guard flood-test documentation

The existing opaque-denial contract must also hold:

“a caller who may not read a repo (or a withheld subtree) gets the same 404 as a missing repo”
— AGENTS.md

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced durable side effect on existing routes. At merge-base and captured live main, the same missing-repository requests perform lookup and return 404 without a signature-ledger write. Head adds consume_signature to add_auth_layers, causing those requests to commit a row before returning the same 404. The finding concerns that newly added storage/WAL cost; the existing limiter placement is intentional and remains outside the requested repair.

📌 In this PR:

Surface	Ordering / lifecycle	Result
server.rs::add_auth_layers and auth::consume_signature	Verify → UCAN → committed ledger insertion → handler	Newly charges both issue routes before their source boundary
Issue-close route	Ledger → read gate → IP debit → mutation	Missing/hidden repos and exhausted budgets do not bound ledger writes
Issue-comment route	Ledger → JSON/body validation → read gate → IP debit → mutation	Early validation/visibility failures also allocate rows
test_support.rs::replay_guards	New flood tests exercise /tasks, which has an outer brake	Does not protect either issue-route exception
Other ledgered route groups	Existing creation/push/write/peer/sync brakes precede admission	Checked; no equivalent allocation bypass found

The ledger’s persistence, restart reuse, atomic replay arbitration, 390-second retention and periodic sweep are present. Those protect single-use and retention; they do not impose a source admission bound across disposable identities.

🔒 Unchanged on main: Preserve the issue handlers’ read-gate-before-IP-debit ordering and opaque 404 behavior, shared limiter configuration/trusted-proxy rules, and existing mutation authorization.

🔧 Required correction: Bound this PR’s new durable ledger allocations on both issue-write paths while honoring their existing read/source-budget boundary. Keep atomic signature consumption before any actual mutation. Include the early validation and method-rejection paths that currently allocate rows. The implementation can remain local to the new ledger integration; preserve the existing gate order and opaque 404 responses.

Add regression evidence for both routes with fresh-key rotation against missing/hidden repositories and an exhausted source budget, plus a valid fresh request and its rejected replay. Shared parameterized coverage is sufficient.

🛠️ Author fix: Close the new ledger-admission hole for both issue routes in one pass, including the affected early-rejection paths and regression coverage. Honor the existing gates when admitting the new durable work. A repair of the limiter or repository authorization framework is not required.

🚫 Out of scope: Repairing pre-existing limiter placement, changing the general policy that admitted requests may spend a signature before a later handler failure, changing other quotas, or redesigning the ledger schema.

🔵 P3 — Keep rate_limited diagnostics neutral about the limiter and rejection stage

📍 Where: gl/src/http.rs:405–408, NodeDenial::RateLimited documentation, and the new rate-limit hint test.

💥 What fails: After the per-DID creation quota is reached, gl tells the caller:

the node is throttling requests from your network address …
this is not about your identity or your signature

That diagnosis is false for the existing per-DID creation limiter. The same code also comes from in-handler AppError::RateLimited, so the enum’s “before any handler ran” description is not guaranteed either. These messages misidentify which budget an operator needs to inspect.

🔎 Root cause: The new enum documentation and client hint infer IP-only provenance from rate_limited. The shared response deliberately covers several limiter sources and does not encode that provenance.

📜 Stated contract:

“The shared 429 response for the rate-limit middlewares (per-DID and per-IP alike).”
— rate_limit.rs:486–487

rate_limit_by_did calls that same response helper. Config explicitly names repo/issue/PR creation, registration and fork as per-DID-limited operations.

🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced diagnostic error. Merge-base and captured live main already enforce the per-DID quota with a generic rate-limit response. Head adds the shared header classification and an IP-only client explanation that mislabels that existing refusal. The quota behavior itself is valid and requires no change.

📌 In this PR:

• gl/src/http.rs::signature_rejection — incorrectly excludes identity-based throttling.
• gitlawb-core/src/node_denial.rs::RateLimited — incorrectly promises network-only, pre-handler provenance.
• send_signed_tells_a_rate_limit_brake_apart_from_a_full_ledger — requires the IP-specific wording.
• rate_limit.rs and error.rs — correctly emit the shared code; their accounting and wire behavior need no change.
• README.md, .env.example, and Config help were checked; retain their actual limiter/rollout semantics.

🔒 Unchanged on main: The per-DID/per-IP quotas and handler-level rate-limit placement.

🔧 Required correction: Use a scope-neutral rate-limit explanation in the client and enum documentation, and adjust the new wording assertion. Keep the distinction from signature_ledger_full without claiming which ordinary limiter fired.

🛠️ Author fix: Update the shared hint, enum description and new wording test together. This is a text-and-test correction: a generic explanation closes the class for all command callers while preserving the existing wire codes, quotas and rejection behavior.

🚫 Out of scope: Changing quota policy, automatically retrying writes, or expanding the denial protocol.
