Executable RED successor to documentation-only #44 for issue #45. This PR does not implement or close #45 or cloudflare/pingora#447 and does not add a speculative Admin Config field, gateway-local supplier fork, callback watchdog, retained legacy proxy, product auth/business logic, Wardnet/EgressWeave authority, or Keyverse identity.

Dependency root and writer-safe scope

Base is final #44 c026e1c8f419c6c5035a36518c3d482dfe7ff8a8; current exact child head remains 21e5ef1be81f7f873122ad36ceca5ddf6939a343 and changes one executable evidence path only: tests/h1_header_lifetime.rs. Production Rust, workflows, configuration schema, routing/retry semantics, supplier pin and durable documentation contracts are unchanged.

Fresh review repaired fixture-local Rust 1.98.0 formatting/final-newline correctness, fail-closed origin-monitor disconnect handling, and continuous RUST_LOG=trace stderr draining. The CodeRabbit stderr thread is resolved; exact-current owner technical review 5156545701 found no additional actionable writer-safe source/test/DDD defect. This is COMMENT evidence only, not approval.

Realistic RED contract

The compiled generic gateway is exercised through real loopback TCP. The test keeps the incomplete request far below parser byte/count ceilings and sends progress every 100 ms, distinguishing whole-header lifetime from #43 parser admission and ordinary per-read inactivity. It declares a 1.5 s whole-header acceptance budget with 0.5 s enforcement grace and a 2.5 s evidence bound; these are test values, not a runtime/config field.

A fresh connection and a sequentially reused HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connection must both terminate an incomplete second header despite continued sub-timeout progress, without origin admission. The reused case first completes /first through the real origin and consumes exact HTTP 200/body before starting the second header. This composition root does not enable Pingora H1 pipelining; pipelined-prefix lifetime remains a separate future contract.

Current exact execution

CI 34370222853 is terminal RED at exact 21e5ef1... for the intended supplier behavior only. Exact checkout, Rust 1.98.0, formatting, compilation, 24 production unit tests and preceding integration targets pass. tests/h1_header_lifetime.rs then fails both causal assertions: fresh H1 remains alive for 2.545815672s; sequential reused keep-alive remains alive for 2.545760971s, each beyond the desired 1.5 s whole-header budget while partial writes continue inside the per-read inactivity window. Lint/rustdoc/coverage/resolved-lock after aggregate failure receive no GREEN credit.

Independent same-head lanes are terminal GREEN: load-contract 102529241922, OCI runtime 102529241546, bounded-origin capacity 34370222884, and Supply Chain 34370222871 / 102529241962. Capacity artifact 10111869223, digest sha256:5e9de9ae4b4656c63857b229eebb135b9e6b972a643926edc033b5f562886470, records 1600 requests, 3200/3200 checks, zero HTTP failures and aggregate p95 3.65082075 ms. This is controlled loopback evidence, not TLS/H2/WAN or production-SLO credit.

Pingora 0.9.0 publication does not close #45

Protected public Pingora main remains exact 702f69015e53f7244d6ad2e743de571d859a70a4; lightweight refs/tags/0.9.0 points directly to the same commit. GitHub Release Pingora 0.9.0 was published at 2026-09-09T23:34:48Z (2026-09-10 08:34:48 KST), is not a prerelease, has no attached assets, and is reported as immutable:false.

Fresh released-source inspection still shows H1 request acquisition governed by per-read relative timeout semantics: successful partial reads can return to the outer request-parse loop, and no supported monotonic whole-request-header deadline is exposed. Therefore publication changes release-state evidence but does not change this RED. cloudflare/pingora#447 remains the canonical supplier owner path.

GREEN for #45 requires a maintainer-integrated monotonic whole-header capability in a later release-qualified supplier identity, followed by an explicit positive versioned gateway Admin Config transition only if CWL exposes the operator control, such that these unchanged fresh+reused paths terminate despite continued progress while readiness, log privacy and recovery remain healthy. HTTP/2/H3 and parser byte/count admission remain separate contracts.

Keep Draft. No protected merge, release, canary/cutover, rollback or legacy-removal credit is claimed.

@coderabbitai review

Please review current exact head bde5475197ee4d13c2d54669fe2cb4c6c9eaa87d, especially causal validity of the real-socket H1 whole-header lifetime RED, sequential keep-alive reuse, origin-observation fail-closed behavior, log/privacy assertion, timing bounds, and any fixture behavior that could make the supplier RED non-deterministic or non-causal. Production gateway Rust/config/supplier pin are intentionally unchanged.

@seonghobae I found one causal-validity issue.

High — The reused-connection case can pass after a pre-existing downstream close.
At Line 501, the fixture writes the incomplete second prefix after it consumes the /first response. It does not prove that the downstream HTTP/1.1 connection remained open after that response. If the gateway closes the connection after /first, write_all() can still succeed before the client observes the peer FIN. The next probe_header_lifetime_enforcement() read then returns EOF. The helper accepts that EOF as successful whole-header enforcement.

In that case, the fixture does not exercise acquisition of an incomplete header on a sequentially reused keep-alive connection. It accepts closure of the first-request connection as a pass.

Before starting the second-header timer, require an active persistent downstream connection. At minimum, reject Connection: close in the first response and perform a bounded post-response EOF check. Prefer an explicit fixture oracle that fails when the first response closes the downstream connection. Then accept EOF/reset only when it occurs after the incomplete second prefix has been established on that verified live connection.

The source review confirms that the composition root does not enable H1 pipelining. The origin monitor also fails closed when its sender disconnects. I did not run the test because this inspection environment does not permit repository execution.

Exact-current owner technical review on 21e5ef1be81f7f873122ad36ceca5ddf6939a343: I re-read the one-path delta after the valid stderr-pipe finding was repaired. The new drain_gateway_stderr starts immediately after each child spawn, continuously consumes the captured trace stream, and joins only after SIGTERM/reap, so the prior pipe-capacity deadlock surface is removed without changing the H1 traffic/timing oracle or attacker-marker exclusion. The reused-origin monitor remains fail-closed on channel disconnect and this composition root still makes no pipelined-prefix claim because H1 pipelining is not enabled. Current exact CI independently reconfirms the intended supplier RED only: both fresh and sequential-reuse slow-drip paths survive ~2.546s beyond the 1.5s whole-header budget while formatting/compilation and preceding targets pass; load/OCI and bounded-origin capacity are GREEN. No additional actionable writer-safe source/test/DDD finding found in the current diff. This COMMENT is technical evidence only, not approval or release credit; Supply Chain remains independently nonterminal at this review timestamp.
