feat(node): add a commit status reporting surface - #304
Conversation
Schema for the commit-status surface, all three objects in one versioned entry rather than three: an append-only status_claims table, a nullable head_commit column on pull_requests, and repo_push_events for the catch-up poll surface. Version 24 rather than 18 because origin/pr-173 and origin/fix/issue-135-ipfs-cid-tree-gate both claim through 23, and the migration runner keys only on version without comparing the recorded name, so a collision is a silent full skip rather than an error. status_claims orders on a database-assigned bigserial seq, not the uuid id. A uuid v4 is random, so using it as the timestamp tiebreak would let a retried pending claim beat a success roughly half the time when both land in the same rfc3339 tick. Each claim stores the producer's RFC 9421 signature headers and the canonical signed bytes. Append-only preserves rows, but only stored signature material preserves provenance, and a claim nobody can verify after the request is gone is not history a signed-attestation substrate can adopt later. The table is repo_push_events, not push_events: the latter already exists in v1 for agent trust scoring, so a second CREATE TABLE under IF NOT EXISTS is a silent no-op whose follow-on index then fails. The upgrade-path test is the load-bearing one. A sqlx::test provisions an empty database and runs the whole array, so the fresh-chain tests stay green even when DDL is appended to an already-applied entry.
The rollup needs an honest target commit, and a pull request row stores only branch names. Resolving the branch at read time is racy (the SHA moves between the resolve and the rollup) and gives a merged or deleted-branch pull request no answer at all, since the merge commit is computed and never persisted. The receive-pack path now sets head_commit for open pull requests whose source branch matches an updated ref, one statement keyed on repo, branch, and open status. Excluding closed and merged rows from the WHERE clause is what freezes the value. The merge path stamps the source head it actually consumed, which covers a push landing between the handler reading the row and committing the merge. A ref arriving on the push path is a full refs/heads/ name while source_branch stores the bare branch, so the normalisation is tested directly; a silently non-matching WHERE clause would make this a no-op that still reads green. Branch deletions are skipped rather than stored, since 40 zeros is a target no commit resolves to. The scenario tests drive the update helper directly, because a real receive-pack POST needs a pack file. That proves the mechanism and says nothing about the sink, so a source-scrape test pins the call site in the push handler. Removing that call was verified to turn it red.
POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha} appends a status claim.
Authorization runs read-visibility first, then owner, and the order is
the security property: authorize_repo_read denies a quarantined repo
before the visibility gate and answers with the repo's own not-found, so
a caller who cannot read the repo cannot learn it exists. Loading the
repo and comparing the owner would answer 403 there and turn the
endpoint into an existence oracle. That case is tested directly, since
it is what separates a correct implementation from a plausible one.
Three caps, all evaluated in the insert transaction and all refusing
with 429: per producer and context, distinct contexts per commit, and
total rows per repo. The per-tuple cap alone bounds nothing, because the
context string and the SHA are both caller-chosen and the SHA is never
existence-checked. The route group also carries the per-DID and per-IP
limiters that the creation routes use; the plain write group carries
neither and this endpoint appends on every call.
Wider than the endpoint: require_signature now attaches the verified
RFC 9421 material as a request extension, so a handler can persist what
the signature actually covered. Rebuilding the canonical string in the
handler would store a string nobody verified, and none of it survives
the request. The write fails closed with a 500 when that material is
absent, rather than storing an empty payload, because a claim nobody can
re-verify is not history the later attestation substrate can adopt.
Nine injected-defect mutations confirm the gates are load-bearing rather
than decorative, including that removing the route group's merge leaves
a group that compiles, lints, and does not exist at runtime.
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/status returns the
projection over the claim history, computed per read rather than
materialized. A materialized index gated only at write time is how this
codebase previously kept serving a repo's slug, owner, branches, and
SHAs after it was made private, so the regression test writes a claim
while public, tightens visibility, and asserts an anonymous read finds
no trace of it.
Three outcomes stay distinct, which is the point of the unit. A caller
who cannot read the repo gets the repo's own not-found, compared byte
for byte against a missing repo so the endpoint is not an existence
oracle. A commit nobody has reported on gets 200 with the explicit
pending zero-count body, asserted exactly so no client can render it as
green. A failed lookup propagates as a 500 carrying the db_error code,
never as an empty success; nothing on this path uses ok-or-default.
Latest-per-context is decided by the database-assigned sequence, not by
the timestamp and not by the uuid. The ordering test seeds the winning
row with the lexically smaller id and a far older timestamp, so it fails
under either wrong key rather than passing by luck.
The projection filters to claims authorized by the current owner, so an
ownership transfer drops the prior owner's claims from the answer while
the history keeps them. That filter is a set-membership test inside the
query, which is the constraint the delegated-capability follow-on
inherits. It expands the owner DID into its equivalent forms, and a test
runs that expansion against did_matches over a ten-case matrix so the
two cannot drift apart silently.
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/status answers for the
pull request's head. Both read surfaces now call one extracted
projection, so "the rollup uses the same projection as the commit read"
holds by construction rather than by two implementations agreeing today.
A pull request row stores branch names, so the head has to come from
somewhere. Preference order is the stored head, then a database-backed
branch lookup for an open pull request that has none. No path in this
module acquires the repository or lists refs from disk: that would
download the whole repository from object storage on a cold node, and
this read group carries no rate limiter. A source-read test enforces
that, and asserts its own scan still covers the handler so it cannot
shrink to vacuously passing.
The read-side persist is self-limiting by SQL, not by handler ordering:
the update is conditioned on the head being absent and the pull request
open, so a push landing mid-request cannot be rolled back to a staler
tip and a closed pull request is never back-filled. Reading the same
pull request twice resolves the branch once.
That property is invisible in the response. A variant that re-resolved
on every call and then still preferred the stored head would return
byte-identical bodies across the whole suite, so the test counts the
work done rather than the results emitted, and injecting exactly that
variant reddens only the counter assertion.
An unresolvable head is not a fifth wire state. The state field stays
inside the four values and the condition rides in head_resolved beside
the pull request's own state, so the two cases differ on that boolean
alone and both are tested.
Webhook delivery is spawned, fire-and-forget, and never retried, so a checker whose endpoint was unreachable during a push simply never learns about the commit. Rather than add retry machinery and an unbounded queue pointed at an owner-supplied URL, delivery reliability becomes a read-side property: a push records an event, and a subscriber walks forward from a cursor to find every commit a webhook would have told it about. Containment is the load-bearing constraint. The row goes into repo_push_events, written only by the receive-pack path and read only by this repo-scoped, gate-checked handler. It must never go into received_ref_updates, which the unauthenticated global feed also reads; writing local pushes there would publish private-repo pushes on an anonymous surface. A test pushes to a private repo and asserts nothing appears on that feed, and retargeting the write reddens it. The cursor emits a canonical Z-form timestamp with fixed sub-second width rather than the default rfc3339. The default emits a +00:00 offset, and + decodes to a space in a query string, so a poller echoing the cursor back re-read the same page forever. The fixed width also makes the TEXT column's lexicographic order match time order for the keyset predicate. Found by seeding a timestamp collision, not by reading. The scenario tests drive the recorder directly, so a source-scrape test pins its call site in the push handler, the same way the stored-head update is pinned. Removing that call was verified to turn it red.
Two review findings. The fallback read branch_cids, whose only production writer sits inside a Pinata pin-success branch. With no Pinata configured that table is never written, so on a default node the fallback could never resolve and every open pull request without a stored head answered head_resolved false forever. It now reads repo_push_events, which the receive-pack path writes unconditionally for every ref update, with both predicates and the ordering in SQL against the existing keyset index. Still one database read per request, still no repository acquire. This is better, not complete: repo_push_events only carries pushes that land after this ships, so a pull request whose branch was last pushed before deployment still will not resolve until it is pushed again. There is no backfill. The best-effort persist propagated its error, so a transient database failure turned a rollup that had already resolved its answer into a 500. It now catches and logs, matching the sibling writes on the push path. The test asserts the persist genuinely fails before driving the read, so it cannot pass vacuously. Also corrected a doc comment that claimed the resolve branch is never taken twice for one pull request. Only the persist is once-per-pull- request; the resolve attempt repeats on every read until it succeeds. The accompanying test pins the corrected wording rather than a behavior change, since the old code counted the same way. The resolve counter is process-global while sqlx test databases are per-test, so unguarded tests were inflating the counts guarded tests assert on. The guard now covers every test that triggers a resolve.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds signed commit-status APIs, pull-request status rollups, repository-scoped push-event polling, push-event persistence, pull-request head tracking, authorization guards, and database-backed tests. ChangesStatus claims and persistence
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The current head can publish rejected ref transitions as if they succeeded, causing peers and external consumers to record or fetch commits that were never accepted; malformed ref names can trigger the same incorrect acceptance path. Persisted signed status claims also lack a version marker, risking re-verification failures after future format changes. These are concrete integrity and correctness risks that should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

sqlx 0.8 #[sqlx::test] default runtime current-thread multi-thread documentation
💡 Result:
In SQLx 0.8, the #[sqlx::test] macro automatically executes your test in the configured asynchronous runtime based on the enabled cargo features [1][2]. Runtime Behavior: - When the runtime-tokio feature is enabled, #[sqlx::test] creates a multi-threaded Tokio runtime (via Builder::new_multi_thread) to execute the test [3]. - The macro does not allow you to manually switch between current-thread or multi-thread configurations via attribute arguments; it defaults to the behavior defined by the SQLx implementation for the chosen runtime feature [2][4]. - If multiple runtime features (e.g., runtime-tokio and runtime-async-std) are enabled, SQLx prefers the Tokio runtime [1][2]. Key Characteristics: - It behaves similarly to #[tokio::test] or #[async_std::test] but does not support the same configuration control arguments (such as those used to specify runtime threads or worker counts) [2][4]. - For advanced requirements—such as controlling the number of threads or using a specific runtime configuration—you should handle the runtime setup manually in your test function rather than relying solely on the #[sqlx::test] macro [2][4]. - As noted in the official documentation, if you encounter connection pool limits or timeout issues during parallel execution, you should manage your pool size explicitly using PoolOptions or adjust the cargo test runner's concurrency settings (e.g., --test-threads) [2]. For further implementation details, you can refer to the official sqlx::test documentation [1].

The row stored the RFC 9421 signing string under a column called signed_payload. That string covers the body only through the content digest, so it proved someone signed a request with some digest but not that this claim row was what they signed. The whole append-only argument rests on a claim staying verifiable after the request is gone, so the row now carries the request body as well, in a column that says so, and a test re-verifies a claim from the row alone: body to digest, digest into the signing string, signature over that string under the producer's key. Its negative mutates the stored state and shows the same procedure refuses. Migration v24 is amended in place rather than stacked, since it has never shipped. The persisted material had no size bound and is caller-influenced, so each field is now bounded. The write response returned the whole claim, so the wire carried the stored bytes as a JSON integer array; it now returns a client-facing type and StatusClaim no longer derives Serialize, so the leak cannot reappear by accident. Carrying the body as Bytes rather than a Vec matters: the middleware runs on every signed request including receive-pack POSTs bounded at 2 GB, so copying would have doubled peak memory on every push to serve a field only the status write reads.
Five reviewers independently flagged the capped insert. It counted then inserted inside one transaction with a docstring promising a concurrent writer could not slip past, which READ COMMITTED does not deliver, and every cap test was sequential so deleting the transaction would have kept them green. A per-repo advisory lock now serializes writers on the bound they are both testing. The new test runs eight writers through a barrier at cap minus one: without the lock it left 4, 5, and 5 rows against a cap of 3 on consecutive runs, so the window was real. The projection compared producer_did as a raw column while the handler stored whatever spelling the signer used, so one owner writing as did:key:X and as X produced two entries for one context and the superseded claim kept voting. Identity is now canonicalized at write time, and the read filter is a single equality rather than a set. That fix had a trap. Applying normalize_owner_key directly, as the finding suggested, collapses to the bare key, which is not a parseable DID, and would have quietly undone the re-verifiability the previous commit established. canonical_did canonicalizes to the full did:key form instead and is written as a function of normalize_owner_key so the equivalence with did_matches still holds exactly, including the case where a naive prefix-add would merge two distinct identities. With that in place the ported copy of the DID collapse in the status module is gone rather than relocated, and did_matches itself now delegates, so the Rust gate, the stored column, and the SQL all trace to one definition. The projection also selected the signature columns it never renders, which the previous commit made worse by adding the request body. It has its own narrow type now, enforced by a source-read test. The per-repo cap counted for all time with nothing pruning the table, so a repo that reached it was permanently closed while 429 told clients to keep retrying. It is a rolling window now, which still bounds the fan-out a caller-chosen SHA allows, and makes the refusal true. Also folded two count queries that scanned the same rows into one.
The push-event cursor paged on an application-stamped wall clock, so a row stamped later could commit earlier and a poller past that point would never see the earlier row. A clock step backwards widens it. It now pages on a database-assigned sequence, the same decision status_claims already made, so the two surfaces do not disagree about what ordering means. The rollup's branch resolve had the same flaw and is fixed with it. The receive-pack path issued one round trip per ref for each of two writers, sequentially, on the user's push, with nothing bounding the ref count. Both are single statements now and the per-push fan-out is capped, with a warning when it truncates rather than silent loss. The head update batches through a VALUES join, with last-write-wins dedup on duplicate branches: git will not produce them, but a join over duplicates picks arbitrarily where the loop it replaced was deterministic. The cursor was unvalidated. A malformed value produced a wrong page instead of a refusal, limit zero returned a page with a null cursor, and a poller persisting that cursor silently restarted from the beginning of history. It is validated, the limit is clamped, and the returned cursor never moves backwards. This changes the query parameter names, which is a breaking wire change on an endpoint that has never shipped; every consumer was checked and only the route registration reads them. Three copies of the source-scraping parser became one shared helper. That refactor exposed a real gap: the empty-region mutation reddened four of the five guards, but the gossip-containment guard passed on an empty region because it only asserts a must-not. It now asserts its scan covered what it claims to cover, so a helper bug cannot make it vacuously green. status.rs is split into status/mod.rs and status/tests.rs, production logic unchanged. Four things read the old path and all were retargeted, including 22 mutation targets across four specs, each re-confirmed to still match exactly once.
Both defects came from an independent cross-model review, and neither was visible to the reviewers that share this session's model. A signed write was protected only by clock skew: no nonce, no idempotency key, no record of signatures already seen. So a captured request replayed inside the skew window inserted a new row with a new sequence number, and because the projection takes the latest claim per producer and context, a stale success outranked the failure that superseded it. The append-only design is what made this reversible rather than merely duplicative: a replay that only duplicated a row would be harmless, a replay that earns a fresh sequence flips the answer. An earlier reviewer saw the replay window and concluded append-only bounded it, which had the mechanism exactly backwards. An exact replay is now idempotent instead of an error. The row carries a digest over the signature, its input, and the body, a unique index enforces it in the database rather than a check-then-insert race, and a repeat returns the original claim. Erroring would have punished the legitimate case this design otherwise handles worst: a client whose response was lost retrying the same signed request and concluding its report failed when it had succeeded. The fan-out cap was mine, added while fixing unbounded work, and it truncated at 256 refs after receive-pack had already accepted them. A push whose pull request source branch sat past that point left the head permanently stale with no push event, announced only by a log line git had already contradicted. The writers chunk now, so nothing accepted is dropped, and the bound that remains refuses before the accept rather than after: chunking bounds a statement, not a request, and the work that scales with ref count sits upstream anyway, one protection query per ref before the service runs and one certificate and webhook per ref after, with body limits disabled on the git routes. Removing the cap also exposed a quadratic branch dedupe it had been keeping cheap; that is a map now.

The sequence is a bigserial, so Postgres allocates it at INSERT and makes it visible at COMMIT, and nextval does not roll back. Two overlapping writes to one repo could therefore commit out of sequence order: one allocates, another allocates and commits, a poller reads the later row and advances, and the earlier row then becomes visible behind a cursor that has already passed it. Never delivered, no error, no gap signal, which is the one thing the catch-up surface exists to prevent. This is the second time this branch has traded one ordering hazard for another. The cursor moved off a wall clock because stamping and committing disagree; it moved onto a sequence where allocating and committing disagree. The insert now runs in an explicit transaction that takes a per-repo advisory lock, so the lock releases at commit and no writer can allocate until the previous row is visible. The wait is bounded, because the lock sits on a pooled connection on the inline push path and an unbounded wait would turn one busy repo into pool exhaustion for unrelated requests. Three attempts at a one second timeout leaves headroom under the pool's own acquire timeout. That bound needs the caller to stop swallowing failures. It warned and continued, so any error the lock introduced would silently drop those events forever while the push had already returned success, reaching the same outcome by another route. It now retries once and then logs at error level naming the repo, the refs, and the SHAs that were lost. The defect is pinned by a test that owns both transaction boundaries rather than a barrier. A barrier cannot reproduce it: before this change the write was a single autocommit statement, so allocate and commit were one round trip from the client and the interleaving window was never open to a caller of the public API.
The signature middleware handed every signed request a second handle to the buffered body, and only the status write reads it. The field is optional now and populated behind a marker the persisting route group applies. Be accurate about what that saves, because the first reading of this finding overstated it and the plan was corrected before implementation. The push handler takes its body as an extractor, so axum consumes the request and drops every extension at that point; the extra handle lived across the remaining middleware chain, not the handler's lifetime. The whole pack really is pinned for the whole receive-pack, but by the handler's own parameter, which is pre-existing and untouched here. Layer order is the failure mode worth guarding. A marker applied inside the auth layers is never seen by the middleware that reads it, so the body silently stops being captured while every test stays green. The mutation that proves this leaves the layer present on the same group and only moves it inside, and the production-router test still reddens. The handler also refuses an absent body rather than storing an empty column, so a lost marker fails loudly at the one place it matters. Four comments claimed a timestamp or a uuid tiebreak decided ordering when the code orders on the sequence. Three were named in review; the fourth turned up next to them, calling the timestamp format load-bearing for a cursor that no longer reads it. The mirror-dedup comments that correctly document timestamp ordering were checked and left alone. The shared scrape helper advanced by one byte to stop an end anchor matching at position zero, which reports a missing anchor for any region starting on a multibyte character. It advances by a character now. Not reachable today since every anchor is ASCII, but five guards share this helper and one that silently finds nothing is worse than one that fails.

Worked all seven. Five landed in The seq keyset skipReal, and the sharpest of the set. I confirmed the window is open rather than assuming it: Taken the second remedy, with one addition. The insert now runs in an explicit transaction that takes a per-repo advisory lock, so the lock releases at commit and no writer can allocate a sequence until the previous row is visible. The wait is bounded ( That bound needed the caller fixed too. Worth recording how the defect is pinned, because the obvious test does not work. A barrier-driven concurrency test passes against the unfixed code: before this change the write was a single autocommit statement, so allocate and commit were one round trip and the interleaving window was never open to a caller of the public API. The reproduction owns both transaction boundaries directly and observes the strand: A allocates, B allocates and commits, the walk from zero leaves the cursor past A, A commits, and the next page comes back empty with both rows committed. I also corrected the doc comment, which claimed the sequence "cannot disagree with the order the rows actually became visible". True for a single writer, and the sentence that made this invisible. The body retention, with a correctionReal, and I have made the change, but the finding overstates it and I would rather say so than quietly ship a fix under a claim that does not hold. The part I can show: On top of that, my reading of the extractor is that the request is consumed to produce So the change is still worth making and is in: the field is optional now and populated only behind a marker the persisting route group applies. What it buys is removing the second handle across the remaining chain, and removing the retention outright on small-body signed routes. Lowering peak memory on a push needs a streaming receive-pack, which is separate work. The failure mode worth guarding here is layer order: a marker applied inside the auth layers is never seen by the middleware that reads it, so the body silently stops being captured while every test stays green. The guard for that moves the layer inside rather than deleting it, and the production-router test still fails. The handler also refuses an absent body rather than storing an empty column. The three smaller onesThe stale cursor comment and both fixture comments are corrected. There was a fourth next to them, calling the timestamp format load-bearing for a cursor that no longer reads it; same root cause, so it went with them. The two comments in The scrape helper advances by a character now. You are right that it is not reachable today, since every current anchor is ASCII, but five guards share that helper and one that silently reports "not found" is worse than one that fails loudly. Both directions are guarded, so the fix did not reintroduce the zero-position collapse the byte offset originally prevented. Declined: the two thread-local findings
The suggested remedy also points the wrong way for this suite. There is a process-global If the runtime flavour ever changes, the concern becomes real, so the new concurrency work deliberately uses Full workspace suite is green at 1165. |

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Findings
-
[P1] Require a body-bound Content-Digest before persisting signed provenance
crates/gitlawb-node/src/auth/mod.rs:212
The status handler now stores the request body as evidence of the signed verdict, butrequire_signaturesubstitutes an empty string whenContent-Digestis absent and only compares the digest when the header exists. An owner can therefore sign the method/path plus an empty digest, omit the header, and submit any status body; the resulting claim asserts provenance that cannot re-verify the stored body. Require and verify the digest on this route (or make this PR depend on the digest-enforcement change) before recording the claim. -
[P1] Apply push side effects only to refs that receive-pack accepted
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1017
smart_http::receive_packregards a zero process exit as success and forwards the protocol response untouched, while receive-pack reports individual rejected refs asng <ref> ...pkt-lines even with that exit status. The new code then updates PR heads and writes poll events for every ref parsed from the request. A rejected non-fast-forward, hook, or unpack failure can consequently publish an uninstalled SHA and make the PR rollup target it. Parse the report-status and use only accepted refs (or derive the updates from the resulting repository state) for these side effects. -
[P1] Keep PR-head writes ordered with the git write lock
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:952
The repository lock is released beforeupdate_open_pr_headsruns. If pushes A then B are accepted for the same branch, B can reach the unconditionalUPDATE pull_requests SET head_commit = v.shafirst and A can overwrite it afterwards. Since a non-null stored head bypasses the fallback, the rollup remains pinned to A even though the branch points at B. Serialize this update with the receive-pack order, or make the update conditional on an ordering/version that cannot move the head backwards. -
[P1] Make push-event cursors opaque and repository/node-bound
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/events.rs:349
Every non-negative integer is accepted and passed directly to a per-reposeq > cursorquery. A high value issued by another repo/node, or retained across a restore, returns an empty 200 and is echoed, permanently skipping this repo's history while the subscriber believes it is caught up. The returned value is also the table-globalBIGSERIAL, so gaps let a reader measure activity in other repositories, including private ones. Use an opaque scoped cursor, or validate that it was issued for this repository and reject an invalid/ahead value visibly. -
[P2] Enforce the ref-count limit while parsing the receive-pack request
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:874
The 10,000-ref bound is checked only afterparse_ref_updateshas scanned the entire request and allocated three strings for every valid pkt-line. Git routes allow a pack body up to the configured 2 GB, so a signed caller can force the allocation and CPU work that the new cap is meant to prevent before receiving the 400. Stop parsing as soon as the cap is exceeded (or otherwise bound the parser) before retaining each update. -
[P2] Apply the status body-size limit before signature middleware buffers it
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/status/mod.rs:176
The advertised 8 KiB request bound is checked only afterrequire_signaturehas collected and hashed the full body; the route has no matching transport body limit. A large signed request is therefore allocated before authorization and only then rejected by this handler, defeating the stated bound under concurrent requests. Add a smallRequestBodyLimitLayeroutside the auth middleware (or make the middleware collection bounded) for this route.
A claim is provenance, so the signature stored beside it has to reach the bytes stored beside it. It did not. The signing string covers the body only through a content-digest line, and require_signature rebuilds the covered values from the request: with no Content-Digest header the covered digest is the empty string on the signing side and the verifying side alike, the Ed25519 check passes over method, path and nothing else, and the digest-versus-body comparison was skipped for want of a header. An owner could sign that once and post any body under it. The row that produced carried a valid signature, a signing string that verifies under the owner's key, and a request_body the signing string says nothing about — history nobody can re-verify, which is the one thing the row is for. The write path now recomputes the digest of the bytes it is about to persist and requires the signing string to carry exactly that line, which is the write-time form of the check re_verify already ran against a stored row. Line-exact rather than a substring search: build_signing_string emits one component per line, and a contains would also be satisfied by the digest appearing inside another component's value. This is deliberately not the only line of defence, and deliberately not the middleware's. PR #306 requires the header in require_signature and closes the same hole one layer earlier for every signed route; that belongs there, because no other route's correctness should depend on this handler. Neither substitutes for the other. Without #306 the empty digest is still accepted everywhere else; without this, a later relaxation of the middleware resumes writing unverifiable history in silence. Nothing here touches require_signature, so the two do not collide. The route's advertised 8 KiB body bound was also a bound on what gets stored rather than on what gets buffered: require_signature collects and hashes the whole body before any handler runs, so by the time the handler measured it the allocation had happened, and concurrent requests multiplied exactly the cost the number was written to prevent. A RequestBodyLimitLayer now carries the same figure at the transport, outside the auth layers and inside the rate limiters, matching the shape the git routes already use. The handler keeps its own check: it is the one that holds for a handler reached by any other route table. The hand-injected test material had to become coherent with the request it rides on, because a stand-in built over other bytes now takes every bare-router test down the refusal branch. It is built from the body it accompanies and carries a real content-digest line.
receive-pack exits zero when the process ran, not when the push applied. A non-fast-forward, a hook rejection or a failed update comes back as an ng pkt-line inside a response this handler forwarded without reading, so every side effect keyed on the refs parsed from the REQUEST fired for refs that were refused: the pull request on that branch had its stored head moved to a commit this node does not have, and the catch-up poll surface handed subscribers a SHA that resolves to nothing. The report is now parsed and only the refs it names with ok are used. unpack fail accepts nothing, since the pack never landed. A report that does not parse at all is inconclusive and keeps every declared ref: a client that never requested report-status is told nothing about individual refs, and reading that silence as rejection would permanently drop the events and the head update for a push git really did accept, which is the failure the poll surface exists to prevent. The parser is ported from PR #384, which introduced it for this same problem, so the two branches converge on one definition of "accepted" rather than growing two. Whichever lands second should drop its copy. It diverges by three lines, and they are load-bearing: git double wraps the report when the client negotiates side-band-64k, which git push over smart HTTP does. The observed framing from git 2.50.1 is an outer pkt-line carrying a band byte whose payload is itself a pkt-line stream, so one pass of strip_sideband leaves "000eunpack ok" as the first line, the parse fails, and every ref falls back to inconclusive — the parser answering "cannot tell" for exactly the pushes it exists to classify. A second pass peels the inner layer and is a no-op on the single-wrapped shape. The tests carry the real captured byte layout, both wrappings, so this is pinned rather than assumed. Both writes also moved inside the repository write lock. That lock orders the ref updates of two concurrent pushes; released before these ran, the pair was an unordered race, and B's unconditional UPDATE landing before A's leaves the stored head — which the rollup prefers over its fallback — pinned to a commit the branch has moved past. record_push_events has the same inversion by a different route, since latest_push_sha_for_ref reads the highest seq and seq order is insert order. There is no per-row version to make the UPDATE conditional on, so the ordering has to come from the lock. Holding it across two batched statements on an already open pool, on a path that just ran a subprocess over the whole pack, is the cheaper half of that trade. A source guard pins the position, because this is a property of where the calls sit. Separately, the 10,000-ref bound was checked only after the parser had scanned the entire request and kept three heap strings per valid pkt-line. The git routes raise the body limit to GITLAWB_MAX_PACK_BYTES — 2 GB by default — so a signed caller could force the whole scan and the whole allocation and only then be told 400: the work the cap exists to refuse, done in full before the refusal. The parser stops one past the cap, which is still enough for bound_declared_refs to refuse on, and the message no longer reports a count that would now be a floor rather than the request's real one.
The cursor was the table-global bigserial, handed to clients verbatim and accepted back as any non-negative integer, then passed straight into a per-repo seq > $1. Two things followed from that, and both were silent. A value issued by a DIFFERENT repository — or by this one before a restore — is an ordinary larger number here, so the query matched nothing, the surface answered 200 with an empty page and echoed the value back, and the subscriber sat permanently past history it had never received with nothing anywhere reading as an error. And because repo_push_events is written by every repository on the node, the gaps between one repository's cursors measured how much the others pushed in between, private ones included. The cursor is now an opaque token carrying a version, a binding to (node DID, repository), and the id of the last event served. The binding is a hash and not a MAC, because there is nothing to forge: the position inside is a row id resolved against this repository's own rows anyway. What it buys is that a foreign cursor is refused by shape, with a message naming which mistake was made, instead of being applied to a repository it was never issued for. An id that resolves to nothing — a token kept across a restore that lost the row — is a 400 that names the recovery, not an empty page the poller reads as being up to date. The global sequence still orders the walk internally, which is what keeps the page cheap, but it no longer leaves the node. The position is the row id, which this surface already publishes in every event, so the token discloses nothing new. The two properties an earlier round established are kept, in their new shape: next_cursor is never null and never moves backwards, and the start of history is an expressible position rather than an absent one, so a first poll of a repository with no events still hands back a token the endpoint accepts back rather than a value a persisting poller would misread.

Feed the accepted refs to the certificate, webhook, and gossip paths too.
accepted now gates the two database writes. The remaining publishers still use the DECLARED set:
- Line 1043: the ref-certificate loop iterates
&ref_updates, so the node signs a certificate for a ref receive-pack answeredng. - Line 1078: the push webhook loop iterates
&ref_updates. - Lines 1270-1273:
ref_updates_clonefeeds branch→CID recording, gossippublish_ref_update, the GraphQL broadcast, the Arweave anchor, and/sync/notify.
A non-fast-forward rejection is a common push outcome and exits zero, so this fires in ordinary use. The node then emits a signed attestation and a permanent Arweave anchor for an old_sha → new_sha transition that never happened, and peers are told to pull a SHA this node does not have. That is the same failure the comment at lines 976-979 rules out for the stored head.
The substitution is behavior-preserving for the inconclusive case, because accepted_ref_updates returns the declared set when no report can be parsed.

Version the signed status payload.
require_body_bound_signature adds a durable verification rule, but the signed request body and StatusClaim have no payload version. A later signature-covered format change cannot select compatible verification rules for stored claims.
Add a payload version inside the signed body. Persist or recover that version during re-verification. Preserve verification for version-1 artifacts. Add trusted-artifact and well-formed forged-artifact tests.
As per coding guidelines, treat signature-covered fields as a versioned format: add a payload version, preserve verification for the older form, and test artifacts signed before the change.

Git receive-pack report-status refname non UTF-8 bytes protocol documentation ref names byte strings
💡 Result:
In the Git network protocol, specifically concerning the report-status and report-status-v2 capabilities within git-receive-pack, reference names (refname) are treated as byte strings rather than enforced UTF-8 encoded text [1][2][3]. Documentation defines a refname as a hierarchical octet string [3][4]. While these strings must conform to specific validation rules—such as prohibiting ASCII control characters (bytes below 0x40), spaces, and certain special characters like ~, ^, :, ?, *, [, and \—they are not restricted to UTF-8 encoding [3][4]. When a server sends a status report, it uses packet-line (pkt-line) format [1]. The protocol defines the refname field within these packets as a sequence of bytes [1][2]. Because the underlying Git protocol handles refnames as arbitrary octet strings (sequences of non-NUL bytes), there is no inherent requirement for them to be valid UTF-8 [3][5]. However, tools and clients interacting with these protocols may attempt to interpret or display these byte strings as UTF-8, which can lead to errors if the refname contains non-UTF-8 bytes [6][5]. In summary: - The protocol itself transmits refnames as sequences of octets (bytes) [1][3]. - There is no protocol-level requirement for refnames to be UTF-8 [3]. - Validation rules restrict specific bytes for functional and security reasons, but these restrictions are independent of character encoding [3][4].

Parse the receive-pack report as bytes.
parse_report_status converts the entire response to UTF-8. Git refnames are octet strings, so a pusher can include a non-UTF-8 ref. parse_ref_updates skips that request line but still forwards it to Git. If Git echoes it in the report, parsing returns None; accepted_ref_updates then keeps every declared ref, including a separate ref reported as ng, and publishes its SHA.
Parse framing and status prefixes as bytes in parse_report_status and strip_sideband. Decode each ref name separately, and skip only an undecodable report entry.

Merge readiness
-
[P1] Rebase onto current
mainbefore merge
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:980
This head is based onfdf716d, while livemainisbfc44f9; an actual merge has content conflicts inapi/pulls.rs,api/repos.rs,db/mod.rs, andtest_support.rs. Those include the receive-pack and persistence paths this feature changes, so resolve the rebase and have the resolved diff reviewed rather than merging the stale branch. -
[P1] Resolve the failing CodeQL status before merge
.github/workflows
The check rollup has a failed aggregateCodeQLstatus, even though its four named Analyze jobs succeeded, and the available check data provides no diagnostic to attribute it. Re-run or inspect that failed status after the rebase and do not merge until the required security check is green or its failure is explained.
Findings
-
[P1] Use the accepted-ref set for every post-receive effect
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1027
The receive-pack report is parsed intoacceptedat:980-993, but that value is used only for the new PR-head and poll-event writes. The rest of the success path switches back to the request-declaredref_updates:record_pushselects its first SHA at:1027, certificates iterate it at:1043, webhooks at:1078, and later pin/replication/announcement work derives its tips from it. In a mixed push such asng refs/heads/mainplusok refs/heads/third, the node therefore signs, sends, and may replicate metadata asserting that the rejectedmainSHA landed.The root cause is two competing representations of the push transition after receive-pack: the declared request set and the verified result set. Make the verified accepted set the single source of truth for every post-receive side effect (including trust attribution, certificates, webhooks, pin candidates, and announcements). Keep the declared set only for pre-receive validation and operations that specifically need the client's proposed update.
-
[P1] Do not treat an absent or unreadable report-status as proof that all refs landed
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1759
accepted_ref_updatesreturnsdeclared.to_vec()wheneverparse_report_statusreturnsNone. That happens when a client does not negotiatereport-status, and also when the parser cannot decode the response. A zero process exit only says thatreceive-packran; it does not say each ref landed. Consequently, an unreported non-fast-forward or hook rejection can be recorded by the new PR-head and catch-up writers as an installed commit. The current comment calls this an availability tradeoff, but it violates the new surface's central integrity property: its persisted transition can name a SHA the repository does not contain.The root cause is using “unknown” as though it meant “accepted.” Preserve the availability goal by deriving acceptance from a trustworthy source: require/verify report-status for the effects that need per-ref truth, or read the resulting refs under the existing repository lock before publishing state. If neither source can establish a ref's result, do not persist or announce it as a successful transition.
-
[P1] Snapshot the source head when closing a pull request
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/pulls.rs:301
New PRs always start withhead_commit = NULL(:56-73), andclose_pronly changes status. The only fallback that can populate that field is deliberately restricted to open PRs inrollup_head. Thus, if the source branch was pushed after this feature deployed but before the PR was created, then the PR is closed before its status endpoint is first read, its existingrepo_push_eventsrow is never consulted; later pushes also skip closed PRs. The closed PR permanently returnshead_resolved: false, despite the source head being available in the new push-event history.The root cause is that the lifecycle has a create/push/read fallback but no close-time capture: the status transition disables the only recovery path before recording the value that must be frozen. Resolve the source head while the PR is still open and persist it atomically with (or immediately before) the close transition. Keep the existing rule that subsequent pushes cannot move a closed or merged PR's stored head.

Summary
Adds a commit status surface so an external CI system can report a verdict against a commit and readers can see it, including a rolled-up state on a pull request head. The node executes nothing: this is the reporting half only.
Motivation & context
A repo here can be pushed to, reviewed, and merged, but there is nowhere to record whether the code is any good, so anyone who wants build results keeps a GitHub mirror. Every mirror is a reason a GitHub outage still reaches our users.
The gap was narrower than it looked. A completed push already fires an outbound
pushwebhook whose payload mirrors GitHub's shape, so the trigger half existed and the reporting half did not.I looked at running CI on the node and decided against it. Gitea, GitLab, sourcehut and Radicle all put the executor out of process, GitHub's own docs say self-hosted runners should almost never serve public repos, and every major free CI provider gated access in 2021 after cryptomining abuse. A node here is structurally the "public repo, operator's machine" case. That decision is settled, not open for this PR.

pr-173andfix/issue-135-ipfs-cid-tree-gateboth claim through 23, and the runner keys only on version without comparing the recorded name, so a collision is a silent full skip rather than an error.Three design calls worth stating plainly rather than leaving to be inferred. The wire shape follows GitHub's commit status contract, which buys existing status-consuming clients and settles an inconsistency we already had at the push webhook. Writes are append-only claims and the visible status is a projection over them, which is what keeps a later move to signed attestations a substrate swap. Each claim stores the signature and the bytes it covered, because a claim nobody can re-verify after the request is gone is not history that substrate could adopt.

require_signatureattaches the material it already computed to the request extensions, so a handler can persist what a signature covered. No wire format, no verification behavior, nothing a client can observe.This branch previously also made
Content-Digestmandatory and refused duplicated covered components. Those are a protocol change, they are not needed by this feature, and they wanted their own scrutiny, so they now live in #306 behind #305. This branch has been rebased to drop them and depends on nothing there.Notes for reviewers
Known limitations, stated up front.
No first producer is named yet. Nothing in this PR runs CI, and no specific system is committed to reporting into it. It can merge complete and still not answer the question that motivated it until someone points a checker at it.
The rollup fallback only helps going forward. When a pull request has no stored head, it resolves from
repo_push_events, which only carries pushes that land after this deploys. A pull request whose branch was last pushed before then stays unresolved until it is pushed again. There is no backfill.Two contracts are not enforced by a guard yet. No verdict data reaches gossip, the GraphQL broadcast channel, or anchoring, and I checked that by reading rather than assuming, but the source-scrape test that would keep a future edit from adding one is deferred. So is a reference signing shim.
No
glor MCP coverage. The signing path already exists in the client, so this is a missing wrapper rather than a reachability problem, but the status domain has none of the roughly thirty tools the other domains have.Two behaviours I would rather you agree with than discover. A replayed byte-identical write is idempotent and returns the original claim instead of erroring, which also means two genuinely separate reports with identical bodies inside the same clock second collapse into one, since RFC 9421 signs
createdat second granularity. And the pull request rollup persists a resolved head during an unauthenticated GET, bounded in SQL so it fires at most once per pull request.head_commitnow appears on existing pull request responses through the record's serialization. Additive, and the head is already derivable by anyone who can list refs, but it is a response shape change rather than an invisible one.Summary by CodeRabbit
