Pushed Scoped the repo and rule lookups. You were right that gating at most 200 tasks should not cost the whole node's repo and rule set on an anonymous request. Both lookups are now bounded by the repo ids the fetched page actually names, and both are skipped entirely when no task on the page names a repo. I did not switch to resolving ids straight from the repos table, though. Added the GraphQL denial tests. Fair catch that nothing pinned the resolvers' delegation to the shared collectors. Three cases in Verified: the task and GraphQL suites pass, |

[P1] Preserve signed reads for the shipped task clients
crates/gl/src/task.rs:46
This PR changes both REST read endpoints from globally readable to caller-dependent: a repo-less task is visible only to its delegator or assignee, and a private-repo task only to a caller who passes the repo visibility gate. The shipped CLI was not updated for that contract.TaskCommand::ListandViewexpose no--diroption, always constructNodeClient::new(&node, None), and call the explicitly unsignedgetmethod. A delegator can therefore create a repo-less task through the signedgl task createpath, then immediately get an empty list or a 404 for the same task. The MCP tool has a loaded keypair but similarly callsgetrather thanget_maybe_signed.Please address the contract change at the client boundary rather than weakening the server gate: give the CLI read commands access to the configured/selected identity, build their
NodeClientwith that keypair, and use the existing conditional-signing read helper so public task reads remain usable without an identity. Apply the same helper to the MCP task-read tools, then add end-to-end client tests for delegator and assignee reads of repo-less tasks plus a signed private-repo read. -
[P2] Do not apply the task limit before visibility filtering
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:186
Db::list_tasksexecutesORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT $nbeforecollect_visible_taskscallstask_visible. For example, seed one public-repo task, then add 200 newer repo-less/private tasks that the caller cannot read: bothGET /api/v1/tasks?limit=200and GraphQLtasks(limit: 200)return no rows even though the public task is the next row in the database. The response has neither a cursor nor an incomplete flag, so clients have no way to distinguish that false empty result from a complete list. The optionalstatusandassignee_didfilters do not establish a tenant boundary—the unscoped query remains supported, and the same hidden-window failure applies whenever the filters match both sets.The root cause is treating the SQL page size as the visible-result limit. Reuse the ref-update collector's shape: traverse a stable, bounded keyset stream, apply authorization to each fetched batch, and stop only after collecting the requested number of visible rows or exhausting the stream. If a safety scan cap is necessary, expose an explicit continuation/incomplete result rather than silently claiming an empty or complete page. Add REST and GraphQL mixed-visibility tests that prove older visible tasks remain discoverable behind a full hidden window.
-
[P2] Complete the requested repository-lookup scoping
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:207
The current follow-up scopes only the visibility-rule query.collect_visible_tasksstill callslist_all_repos_deduped(), whose implementation runs an unpagedfetch_allover every non-quarantined logical repository, and only then filters the materialized vector to the page's referenced IDs.get_visible_taskdoes the same full fetch followed by a linearfind. Thus an anonymous list request containing onerepo_id, or a request for any repo-scoped task ID, performs O(total hosted repositories) database transfer/allocation despite the code comment and author follow-up claiming the lookup is bounded. This leaves the original CodeRabbit performance concern unresolved and makes the new anonymous read gate an easy repeatable pressure point on a large node.Please fix the source of the work, not its Rust-side projection: add a database accessor that applies the referenced task IDs inside the same canonical/mirror-deduping and quarantine-excluding query used by
list_all_repos_deduped. Use it for both the page and single-task paths, batch-load the corresponding visibility rules, and add a query-level or regression test showing that a one-task request cannot materialize unrelated repositories. Keep the canonical and quarantine semantics intact; a rawrepos WHERE id = ANY(...)lookup would reintroduce the mirror/quarantine ambiguity this code is trying to avoid.

The gate direction is right and the shared collector is the correct shape: both read surfaces move together, limit clamps before SQL, and the delegator/assignee/repo-visibility cases are tested and green. One row class defeats the fail-closed claim, and the primary CLI consumers were not carried along.

[P1] Fail closed when a task's
repo_idresolves only to a mirror row
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:152
Mirror rows are written byupsert_mirror_repowithis_public=trueand no visibility rules, and sync never replicates rules, solistable_at_rootreturns Allow unconditionally for them. A task naming such a repo is served in full to an anonymous caller: I droveGET /api/v1/tasks/{id}andGET /api/v1/tasksthrough the production router with a mirror-only repo and got 200 with thepayloadon both, while the same probe against a canonical private repo correctly 404s.create_taskstoresrepo_idverbatim with no existence check, so this needs no hostile actor, just a task against a repo this node only mirrors. Treat a slash-form id as non-repo-scoped (delegator and assignee only), or resolve it and require a non-slash canonical row, failing closed when there is none;get_repoalone still hands back the mirror when no canonical twin exists. Please add the regression seeded mirror-first, since every current test seeds a canonical row. -
[P2] Carry the
gltask readers onto a signed, status-checked request
crates/gl/src/task.rs:186,crates/gl/src/task.rs:206,crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1062
Both task read commands buildNodeClient::new(&node, None), andhttp.rs:39get()checks no status. After this change the delegator's own repo-less tasks disappear fromgl task listbecause no identity is attached, andgl task viewon a now-404 task parses the error body and prints it as task data, exiting 0.get_maybe_signed(http.rs:79) is whatrepo.rsandprotect.rsalready use for exactly this; route the task reads through it and check status before parsing. -
[P2] Bound the repo scan on the anonymous list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:208
Scoping the rules lookup to the page was the right half of the fix, but every anonymousGET /api/v1/tasksstill reads the full repos table throughlist_all_repos_deduped()before filtering, on a route with no rate limiter. Before this change the route touched no repo data at all. A by-id fetch over the page's referenced ids, or a join, keeps the work proportional to the page.
The ucan_token redaction is clean and pinned at the schema level, and the filter-after-limit tradeoff is documented in the code, so neither is an ask. Heads up that #318 reworks the same handlers, so expect a rebase conflict there.

Every finding from the last round is in, and I checked each against the code rather than the commit messages: the keyset collector with per-batch scoped repo lookups, the slash-form mirror fail-closed branch, the ucan_token-free read projections pinned at the schema level, the signed and status-checked gl and MCP reads, and CodeRabbit's GraphQL denial tests plus the authenticated-denial body assertions. The gate itself is sound.
One blocker, and two things the round left open.
Findings
-
[P2] Fix the clippy lint blocking CI
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:4355
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warningsfails oncloned-ref-to-slice-refsat&[requested.id.clone()];std::slice::from_ref(&requested.id)is the fix.fmt + clippyis the only red check, and the branch can't merge while it is. -
[P2] Signal truncation when the candidate scan stops short
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:194
collect_visible_tasksstops atMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESand returns a bareVec, and the handler emits{tasks, count}with no flag, so a delegator whose own task sits behind 1000 newer denied rows gets an empty list indistinguishable from having none.denied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceilingpins that drop rather than reporting it. jatmn asked for exactly this in the last round: an explicit incomplete result if a scan cap was necessary. REST is a one-field change; GraphQL needs a wrapper type, so if you'd rather do the resolver in a follow-up, say so and I'll take REST here. -
[P2] Return the task read errors through
AppErrorinstead of a hardcoded 500
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:331
list_tasksandget_taskflattencrate::error::ResultintoINTERNAL_SERVER_ERRORwithe.to_string(), which throws away both thingsAppError'sIntoResponseexists to do: the 503 mapping for an unavailable database (#251) and the opaque body forDberrors on open routes (#226). A read on these routes currently answers a Postgres outage with a 500 carrying raw sqlx text. The sibling read surfacelist_reposreturnsResult<Response>and gets both for free;AppError::NotFoundcoversget_task's 404. The shipped client prints the body verbatim and doesn't parseerror, so the shape change is safe there.
Two notes, neither an ask. The by-ids lookup fixed the half of my scan finding that mattered (no more materializing every repo into Rust), but the dedup CTE still filters repos on the un-indexed owner-key expression, so the scan is full-table even when the page names one repo; an expression index is the real fix and belongs in its own PR. And #186 is editing the same gl/src/task.rs and mcp.rs lines, so expect a conflict whichever lands second.

[P2] Fix the clippy failure in the new database test
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:4355
The requiredfmt + clippycheck is red because the new test allocates and clonesrequested.idsolely to construct a one-element slice, triggeringclippy::cloned-ref-to-slice-refsunder the workspace's-D warningspolicy. The focused local command reproduces the same error, so this head cannot pass CI as submitted. Address the cause rather than suppressing the lint:list_repos_deduped_by_idsaccepts a borrowed slice and does not need ownership, so passstd::slice::from_ref(&requested.id)(or an equivalent borrowed slice) and keep the test exercising the intended one-ID query path. -
[P2] Do not silently report the candidate-scan ceiling as a complete task list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:194
The root cause is that authorization happens after fetching a global keyset page, while the hard ceiling is applied to candidate rows rather than visible rows. For example, put one public-repo task at row 1,001 and put 1,000 newer repo-less tasks owned by other DIDs ahead of it: an anonymousGET /api/v1/tasks?limit=1(and GraphQLtasks(limit: 1)) scans the denied rows, reachesMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES, and returns[]/count: 0. The caller receives neither a cursor nor an incomplete marker, so it cannot distinguish truncation from an exhaustive empty list or resume to the public task. The newdenied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceilingtest explicitly locks in that outcome.Preserve the work bound, but make the limit part of the API contract: return a recoverable continuation/incomplete result on both REST and GraphQL whenever the scan wall is reached before exhaustion. Ideally move as much visibility selection as possible into the database query; if post-filtering remains necessary, return the last examined keyset position and an explicit incomplete/next-page signal, then add mixed-visibility tests with a visible task beyond the ceiling for both surfaces. Do not merely raise the ceiling—the underlying candidate-versus-visible pagination mismatch remains exploitable and will recur on a larger history.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Findings
These findings share one root cause: the list API treats a raw database keyset
position as a public pagination protocol after authorization has removed rows.
Please design and test one authorization-safe cursor contract for both REST and
GraphQL, rather than fixing the individual call sites independently. The
contract must preserve progress through hidden windows without exposing a hidden
row's fields, and must reject invalid or incomplete continuation state.

[P1] Do not expose hidden task metadata in the recovery cursor
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:231
last_examinedis assigned from the final fetched database row beforetask_visiblefilters it, and the scan-cap branch returns that tuple verbatim asnext_cursor. Consequently, an anonymous request with 1,000 newer repo-less/private tasks receives the UUID andcreated_atof the final denied task even thoughGET /tasks/{id}deliberately answers with the opaque 404. This turns the recovery mechanism into a hidden-task enumeration oracle; repeating the walk can disclose a boundary row for every capped window. The root cause is using a row-level keyset position as a public cursor after the row has failed authorization. Do not serialize denied-row fields. Return an opaque, integrity-protected continuation token whose context includes the filters and caller identity, or retain continuation state server-side; validate malformed, expired, and cross-context tokens visibly. Add a regression test asserting that the cap-recovery response contains neither any hidden task ID nor its timestamp. -
[P1] Return a recoverable continuation from the GraphQL task list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:120
The resolver acceptsafterCreatedAt/afterIdand the shared collector reportsincompleteplus a continuation when it stops after 1,000 denied candidates, but theVec<AgentTaskReadType>return type discards both fields. With 1,000 hidden newer tasks and an older readable task, GraphQL returns an indistinguishable empty list and offers no way for the client to reach the readable task; the added test only succeeds by hard-coding the hidden boundary tuple instead of consuming a response-provided value. The root cause is sharing a bounded collector while exposing only its items, not its pagination/result state. Changetasksto return a connection/page object containing items, an explicit incomplete/has-more signal, and the same safe opaque continuation used by REST (or return a visible error when the scan bound prevents a complete result). Add an end-to-end GraphQL test that obtains the continuation from the first response and reaches the older readable task without revealing any denied-row metadata. -
[P2] Reject partial cursor inputs instead of restarting at the first page
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:357
Thezipturns anafter_created_atwithout its matchingafter_id(and the equivalent partial legacy alias) intoNone, so the server returns page one with 200 rather than signaling an invalid cursor. The GraphQL resolver has the same behavior. A caller that loses one component will therefore duplicate data and cannot distinguish a malformed continuation from a successful first-page response. The root cause is representing one logical cursor as independently optional query fields and then treating an incomplete pair as absence. Parse the cursor atomically: require both components together until the opaque-token migration above is complete, validate their syntax and ordering, and return a clear client error for missing, malformed, expired, or filter/caller-mismatched state. Cover REST and GraphQL with tests for each partial and invalid-cursor shape.
Superseded: every finding from this round landed in 4ab649d. Re-reviewing the current head.

The three asks from my last round are in and I checked each against the code rather than the commit message: std::slice::from_ref at the clippy site, incomplete plus a continuation on the REST list, and both read handlers back on AppError with the 503 and 404 cases tested. jatmn's three findings on this head are all real. I reproduced the first rather than reasoning about it, and it is worse than a metadata leak.
Findings

[P1] Derive the continuation cursor from an emitted row, never a scanned one
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:267
last_examinedis stamped fromtasks.last()beforetask_visibleruns, so the cap branch hands back the keyset position of a denied row. I addedassert!(!body.to_string().contains("hidden-"))todenied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceiling_and_signals_incompleteand it fails on{"count":0,"incomplete":true,"next_cursor":{"created_at":"2026-01-02T00:00:00Z","id":"hidden-0000"}}: an anonymous caller receives the id and creation time of a task whoseGET /tasks/{id}deliberately 404s. That id is not inert.claim_task(db/mod.rs:2918) updates by id alone and returns the row'sucan_tokenandpayload, and by #275's own description a NULL-assignee task stays open to the first claimer even after that lands, which is the row class this PR exists to hide. We hit this same shape onlist_pins, and four remedies are already known not to work: base64 of the tuple (transport, not confidentiality), HMAC-signed plaintext (the plaintext still travels), omitting the cursor (starves a visible row sitting past a hidden stretch), and server-side scan state (unbounded growth on an unrated route, plus a restart silently restarting pagination at page one). An AEAD-sealed position with an expiry satisfies both halves. If you would rather not build that here, dropnext_cursor, keepincomplete, and I will open the follow-up, because the anonymous exposure this PR closes is worth landing without it. -
[P1] Return the collector's pagination state from the GraphQL resolver
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:118
Last round I offered to take the REST half and leave the resolver for a follow-up. AcceptingafterCreatedAt/afterIdhere closes that option: the resolver now takes cursor input whileVec<AgentTaskReadType>discardsincompleteandnext_cursor, so a caller behind a hidden window gets an empty list with no way forward and no signal that anything was withheld.query.rs:686shows the cost, since the test can only reach the older task by hard-codingafterId: "hidden-0999", a value no client can obtain. Return a page object carrying the items plus whatever safe continuation REST settles on. -
[P2] Reject a half-supplied cursor instead of serving page one
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:357
Thezipoverafter_created_at/after_id(and thecursor_*aliases, and the same line in the resolver) turns a cursor missing one component intoNone, so a client that loses half its state gets a 200 with the first page and reprocesses rows it already saw. Parse the pair atomically and return a client error on a partial one.
Nothing else this round is an ask. gl task list prints the response verbatim so incomplete does reach the operator, the AppError conversion picks up the 503 and the opaque body for free, and the mirror fail-closed branch and token-free projections are unchanged and still correct. Heads up that #186 and #193 are editing the same gl/src/task.rs lines and #261, #262 and #196 the same server.rs block, so expect a rebase conflict whichever lands second.

The shared collector now gates REST and GraphQL task reads consistently. The scan-wall response does not expose a denied task cursor. I also verified the REST tests use injected I performed static source review only. The sandbox does not permit build or test execution. Your reported CI results cover runtime verification.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The cursor leak is closed and I confirmed it rather than taking the commit message for it: next_cursor is gone from both the REST body and the collector, incomplete now rides on the GraphQL page type as well, and the leak-closure assertions fail against the old response shape, so they are load-bearing. Two things I ran against bce8de8 still block.
Findings
-
[P1] Make the documented resume path work, or stop documenting it
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:189
The doc comment promises a caller can keep paging withafter_created_at/after_idset to the last row they received. I seeded a public task, then 1000 denied tasks, then an older public task, and paged as an anonymous caller: page one returnsnewer-visible, and page two anchored on that row returnscount=0, incomplete=true. Every subsequent request re-walks the same 1000-row denied window and stops at the ceiling, so the older visible task is unreachable for good, not just expensive to reach. The two continuation tests hide this because they anchor onafter_id=hidden-0999, a denied row's id no caller can ever obtain. Dropping the cursor was the right call and I am not asking for it back; either derive a continuation that discloses nothing (echoing the caller's own anchor plus a scan offset would do it) or say plainly in the comment that a caller behind a full denied window cannot advance. -
[P2] Canonicalize
after_created_atbefore it reaches the keyset compare
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:359
created_atis written byUtc::now().to_rfc3339(), which renders the offset as+00:00and neverZ, and axum decodes+in a query string as a space. Sincecreated_atis a text column compared as a tuple, the space sorts below the real value and the comparison silently drops rows sharing that timestamp. I seeded two tasks at2026-01-02T00:00:00.000000+00:00: echoing the returnedcreated_atverbatim into the anchor returned 0, while the same anchor percent-encoded returned 1. That is the encoding, not the tie-break. This is the path the P1 comment tells callers to use, and the suite cannot see it because every test seeds aZ-suffixed literal the server never produces. Parse and re-render the value with the insert-side writer and reject what will not parse, then add a pagination test that echoes a production-format timestamp. -
[P3] Mark the release breaking
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:120
main's resolver returnsVec<AgentTaskType>and this one returnsTaskPageType, so an existing{ tasks { id } }selection stops parsing, and the item type droppeducanTokenon the way. That is the right call and I am not asking you to reshape it, but the PR ships as a plainfix(node):while the sibling breaking work is marked (#330fix(node)!:, #331feat(node)!:). Release automation is configured withbump-minor-pre-major, so the marker is the difference between a patch bump with a silent changelog and a minor bump that tells GraphQL consumers their query needs editing. Add the!and a short BREAKING CHANGE note naming the new selection shape.
One note that is not an ask: the base is 11 commits behind main, and db/mod.rs is touched on both sides. Main's side is only the two certificate LIKE-escape fixes and it carries no task keyset code, so nothing here is a stale-base false alarm, but the rebase is worth doing before merge so the resolution does not land blind.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
The cursor-leak fix on bce8de8 is real: next_cursor is gone from REST and the collector, TaskPageType.incomplete is on GraphQL, and partial cursor pairs return 400 on both surfaces. Those items from my earlier review are addressed on this head. beardthelion's three open items on the same commit are also still open — I verified each against the code, not the commit message.
On a second pass against main at merge-base 50d3cbbe, adjacent pre-existing gaps (ungated claim_task, ungated task_events) were removed from this review. What remains is PR-owned pagination and read-gate consistency work.
Why this PR keeps cycling through review (and how to stop)
This is not six unrelated bugs discovered one round at a time. It is one security-sensitive list API that was shipped in layers without ever locking the client-visible pagination contract. Each round fixed a real symptom; the next round exposed the next symptom of the same unresolved design fork. That is why feedback feels endless — reviewers are not inventing new scope, they are filling in holes around a contract that was never declared finished.
What this PR is actually trying to do (two hard problems at once)
-
Authorization after fetch —
task_visibleruns on keyset pages, not in SQL. Correct for mirror/quarantine/dedup semantics, but it means the database row order and the visible row order diverge. -
A public pagination protocol — REST
after_*/ GraphQLafterCreatedAt/afterId, plusincomplete, on an endpoint that used to be a singleLIMITquery with no continuation story.
Those two goals collide: any continuation derived from scan position risks leaking denied-row metadata (jatmn P1 on 4ab649d, beardthelion confirmation on bce8de8). Removing next_cursor fixed the leak but did not replace it with a safe continuation — only with incomplete and a doc line saying callers can page using the last row they received. That replacement path does not work for a full 1000-row denied prefix, which is exactly the threat model this gate was written for (dense repo-less history ahead of legitimate visible rows).
Until you explicitly choose and implement one continuation contract, every patch tends to:
- fix the last reviewer’s scenario,
- leave docs/tests claiming a stronger guarantee,
- and fail on the next geometry (1000-row wall vs 200-row wall, production
+00:00vs testZ, exhaustive table vs truncated scan, read 404 vs complete 403).
That is the drip pattern. It will continue if the next push is another local fix without a contract decision.
What prior rounds already settled (do not re-litigate)
These are done on bce8de8 — further commits should preserve them, not reopen them:
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| Anonymous/stranger cannot list/read repo-less or private tasks | Gated; body-leak tests |
ucan_token redacted on read surfaces |
REST + GraphQL schema |
Shared collect_visible_tasks / get_visible_task for REST + GraphQL |
In place |
Scoped list_repos_deduped_by_ids per batch |
In place |
Mirror slash repo_id fail-closed for anon |
Tested |
gl / MCP task list/view signed + error_for_status |
In place |
incomplete flag on REST + GraphQL page type |
In place |
| Partial cursor pair → 400 | In place |
next_cursor / denied-row id in response |
Removed; assertions load-bearing |
AppError / 503 on list/get |
In place |
The remaining open items are not “the gate is wrong.” They are “the list pagination story was added alongside the gate but never brought to the same level of completeness as the gate itself.”
The unresolved fork (this is the real blocker)
You are choosing between two valid products. The project has been trying to ship both at once in prose (recoverable pagination + no denied-row leakage), which is impossible with raw keyset tuples.
| Option A — Bounded, honest list | Option B — Safe continuation | |
|---|---|---|
| Promise | “Within one request we scan up to 1000 candidates; you get what we can see; incomplete means we hit the wall and more may exist.” |
“You can resume past hidden windows without learning denied-row ids.” |
| Past full denied window | Not supported with only visible-row anchors. Say that plainly. | Supported via opaque token (anchor + scan offset + caller/filters + expiry). |
| Effort | Docs + incomplete semantics + test rewrites + release-note honesty. ~small. |
Token encode/decode + validation + REST/GraphQL field + tests. ~larger; beardthelion offered follow-up issue if interim is A. |
| Sibling pattern | collect_visible_ref_updates — internal cursor, no client continuation across withheld rows |
Pin/list cursor work elsewhere on the node if you have a sealed-token pattern to reuse |
Merge-blocking requirement: pick A or B, implement it once in collect_visible_tasks, and make REST, GraphQL, comments, tests, and release notes all say the same thing. Half of A and half of B is what produces round after round of findings.
Why the current tests amplify drip
Several tests prove SQL keyset mechanics by supplying hidden-0999 — a denied-row id the API deliberately withholds. That made sense while validating “we can reach past-ceiling if we know an internal boundary.” It does not prove the documented client contract (“page with the last row you received”). CI stays green while the product contract in comments and PR text remains false for the 1000-row geometry beardthelion ran.
Similarly, pagination tests use Z-suffix timestamps the server never writes on create_task, so encoding/canonicalization bugs in the actual resume path stay invisible until a human echoes production JSON into a query string.
Guidance: when you fix pagination, replace these tests with ones that only use response-provided visible coordinates (or your new opaque token). Delete or rewrite tests that require denied-row ids as pagination input — they encode the wrong contract and train future reviewers to think the API is fine.
Secondary cluster: gate rolled out to reads only
Gating get_task without gating the existence signal on complete_task / fail_task introduced a new 403-vs-404 oracle. That did not exist on main when reads were open. This is a small, mechanical fix (route through get_visible_task before assignee checks) but it keeps appearing because it is part of the same theme: apply one visibility decision everywhere a caller learns whether a task id exists.
I am not asking you to gate claim_task or task_events in this PR — those were pre-existing; expanding scope there is how drip becomes scope creep. Fix the asymmetry this PR created on complete/fail.
What a “last review round” should look like
To avoid another CHANGES_REQUESTED cycle, treat the next push as a contract completion commit, not a bugfix grab bag:
-
Write the contract — 10–15 lines at the top of
collect_visible_tasks(or a shortdocs/note linked from the module): what list guarantees, whatincompletemeans, whether cross-request resume exists, and what happens behind a full denied window. -
Implement the contract in one function —
collect_visible_tasksreturns everything REST/GraphQL need (items,incomplete, andcontinuationonly if Option B). No duplicate cursor logic in handlers. -
Centralize cursor parsing — one helper: canonical RFC3339, atomic pairs, reject mixed alias families, shared by REST and GraphQL.
-
Fix
incompletesemantics —trueonly when the last batch was full and the ceiling was hit;falsewhen the keyset stream is exhausted. -
Symmetrize mutations —
complete_task/fail_taskuse the same opaque not-found asget_taskfor invisible tasks. -
Rewrite tests to match the contract — include beardthelion’s 1000-row stuck scenario for Option A (expect stuck) or success path for Option B; production-format timestamp echo test; mixed-alias 400 test; stranger complete → 404 test.
-
Release marker —
fix(node)!:+ BREAKING CHANGE for GraphQLtasksshape and read-sideucanTokenremoval. -
Update PR description — remove “recoverable cursors” / “continuation indicators” language if you ship Option A; point to the contract paragraph instead.
If you do steps 1–8 together, the findings below collapse into one design decision plus mechanical follow-through. If you ship another partial fix (e.g. only timestamp parsing) without steps 1–2, expect another round on the remaining contract gap.
Optional scope split (if you want merge velocity)
If Option B token work is too large for this PR’s appetite:
- Land Option A now with explicit “cannot cross full denied window” documentation and honest
incomplete, plus the small fixes (timestamp, mixed aliases, complete/fail 404, breaking marker). - Open a tracked issue for sealed continuation (beardthelion already offered this on
bce8de8) and reference it in the contract comment so reviewers do not re-ask for B in this PR.
Either path is mergeable. Undocumented limbo between A and B is not.
Root cause and implementation guidance
This PR correctly recognizes that a raw database keyset position is not a safe public pagination protocol after authorization removes rows. That is why next_cursor was removed.
Finish that decision in one place:
-
One continuation contract in
collect_visible_tasks, exposed identically from REST and GraphQL. -
Option A or B (table above) — implement fully; do not document the other.
-
Shared cursor helper — canonical timestamps, reject mixed
after_*/cursor_*families. -
Read gate on complete/fail — same opaque 404 as
get_task. -
fix(node)!:— GraphQL list shape + readucanTokenremoval.
api/events.rs collect_visible_ref_updates pages with an internal pre-filter cursor and does not expose client continuation across withheld rows. Task list either matches that honesty (Option A) or adds a token (Option B) — you already added client after_* params, so silence is not an option.
Findings
The items below are manifestations of the unresolved contract unless marked otherwise. Address them as a set per the “last review round” checklist above.
-
[P1] Make the documented resume path work, or stop documenting it
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:189
collect_visible_tasks(~200–275),VisibleTasksdoc (~183–191)What goes wrong. The doc says callers can keep paging with
after_created_at/after_idset to the last row they received. That works when the denied prefix is shorter than one scan budget (yourolder_visible_task_is_not_hidden_by_newer_denied_windowtest uses only 200 hidden rows). It fails when a fullMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES(1000) denied window sits between two visible rows.Reproduction. As an anonymous caller: seed (1) a newer task on a public repo, (2) 1000 newer repo-less tasks owned by other parties, (3) an older task on the same public repo.
GET /api/v1/tasks?limit=1returns the newer task. Page two withafter_created_atandafter_idfrom that response:count=0,incomplete=true. Every repeat with the same anchor re-scans the same 1000 denied rows and stops at the ceiling; the older public task is never listable. Signed delegators hit the same geometry when 1000+ newer repo-less tasks from others precede their own rows in keyset order — list returns empty/incompletewhileGET /tasks/{id}for their task still returns 200.Why. Each request spends up to 1000 candidate scans starting at the caller’s anchor, then stops. There is no scan offset carried across requests and no safe cursor. Anchoring on a visible row does not skip the denied stretch within the next request’s budget when that stretch is 1000 rows long.
Why tests miss it.
denied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceiling_and_signals_incompleteandtasks_continuation_past_candidate_ceilingresume usinghidden-0999/hidden-{MAX-1}— ids no client can obtain after you removednext_cursor. They validate SQL keyset math, not the documented client contract.What to do. Pick Option A or B in the section above and implement the full checklist. Minimum for Option A: rewrite docs/comments/release notes; fix
incompletesemantics (finding below); addvisible_row_resume_stuck_behind_1000_denied_windowthat pages twice using only prior visible row coordinates and asserts the documented behavior.mainhad no keyset list pagination; this contract is new and currently wrong for the ≥1000-row denied-prefix layout. -
[P2] Canonicalize
after_created_atbefore it reaches the keyset compare
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:385
parse_after_cursor(~385–395),list_tasks_keysetindb/mod.rs(~2904)What goes wrong.
parse_after_cursorforwards raw query strings into(created_at, id) < ($3, $4)on a text column. Creates useUtc::now().to_rfc3339()→ offsets like+00:00, neverZ. Clients echoingcreated_atinto a query string without encoding+as%2Bget a space (Axum/form decoding). Lexicographic tuple compare then drops rows that share that timestamp.Reproduction. Seed two tasks with
created_at = 2026-01-02T00:00:00.000000+00:00. List as delegator; echo returnedcreated_atverbatim intoafter_created_at→ 0 rows on the next page; same value with%2Bencoded → expected rows.Why tests miss it. Pagination tests seed
Z-suffix literals (2026-01-01T00:00:00Z) that production never writes on create.What to do. Part of the shared cursor helper (checklist §3): parse with
chrono, reject unparseable values withAppError::BadRequest, re-render to canonical stored form before SQL. Test: create viacreate_task, list, page using returnedcreated_atwithout manual encoding. Same helper for GraphQL. -
[P2] Reject mixed REST cursor alias families
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:359
list_tasks(~359–364),ListTasksQuery(~56–59)What goes wrong.
list_tasksbuilds the cursor asafter_created_at.or(cursor_created_at)paired withafter_id.or(cursor_id). A client can sendafter_created_atfrom one page andcursor_idfrom another;parse_after_cursoraccepts any(Some, Some)pair.Impact. Wrong keyset position → skipped visible rows, duplicates, or empty pages without error.
What to do. Part of the shared cursor helper (checklist §3): one family per request; 400 on cross-family mix. Test:
?after_created_at=…&cursor_id=…→ 400. -
[P2] Do not report
incomplete: truewhen the candidate stream is exhausted
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:270
collect_visible_tasks(~264–270)What goes wrong.
incompleteisvisible.len() < limit && scanned >= MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESwith no check that the final SQL batch was partial. If the table has exactly 1000 matching rows, the last batch is full, and none are visible to the caller, you still setincomplete: trueeven though row 1001 does not exist.Impact. Clients retry forever on an exhaustive empty result — contradicts Option A’s “honest bounded scan” even if you document the denied-window limit.
What to do. Checklist §4: set
incompleteonly when ceiling hit and last batch full. Test: exactly 1000 anonymous-invisible tasks →incomplete: false. -

Gate REST and GraphQL claim behind the same visibility check as complete and fail, refuse claim when another assignee already holds the task, and only broadcast publicly visible task events. Treat a full list page as incomplete when more candidates remain. Surface HTTP errors from CLI and MCP claim and complete helpers. Refs Gitlawb#327 Co-Authored-By: cairn-code <cairn-code@users.noreply.github.com>
A full visible page was flagged incomplete whenever the SQL batch was full, so the first page of any list with more than 200 candidates looked stalled. Align the GraphQL claim test with the visibility gate's not-found message. Refs Gitlawb#268
Review required tests that go red if the pre-assigned claim predicate or the anonymous announce gate is deleted, and incomplete must not stay true when the candidate stream is exhausted at the scan ceiling. Route claim, complete, and fail through AppError so closed-pool outages stay 503 and 404s match the read envelope. Refs Gitlawb#268
create_task stores the supplied assignee unchanged, so a raw SQL equality check drops a designated assignee who presents the other did:key form. Compare the normalized key so claim and filtered list agree with did_matches. Refs Gitlawb#268

The task read path treated visibility, pagination, and error vocabulary as
separate edits, so each one broke where they met. Rework them as one contract.
A raw (created_at, id) cursor forced a choice between two broken options: it
could name the last visible row, and then a denied window longer than the
1,000-candidate scan budget was unpageable forever; or it could name the last
examined row, and then a denied read leaked the id and timestamp of a task
GET /tasks/{id} otherwise 404s. Continuation tokens remove the choice. They
carry the last examined candidate, so paging always advances a full scan budget
per request, and they are encrypted and authenticated under a node-derived key,
so the caller learns nothing from one and cannot forge one naming a row of
their choosing. Encryption is a synthetic-IV construction over the hmac/sha2
pair already used for webhook signatures, so it adds no dependency and needs no
randomness source.
Making the token the only accepted cursor also gives the ordering key one
domain. agent_tasks.created_at is TEXT and compared as TEXT, so a caller-typed
'...Z' and '...+00:00' denote one instant but sort differently, and a client
could silently skip or repeat same-time rows. The token carries the stored
string verbatim, so the value compared is always one the server wrote. The raw
after_*/cursor_* pairs are removed rather than kept alongside it, since a second
domain is the bug.
Separate the two facts the old single incomplete flag conflated: has_more says
candidates remain, incomplete says this page is short only because the
authorization scan hit its ceiling. Both REST and GraphQL now return has_more,
incomplete, and next_cursor from the shared collector, and REST echoes the limit
it actually applied so a clamped request is visible as clamped.
Have gl task list and MCP task_list follow next_cursor instead of issuing one
request: --limit 500 returned a successful but silently truncated 200 rows.
Following is bounded by a page cap and a no-progress guard, and a run stopped by
either reports an explicit incomplete result with a resume cursor.
Route claimTask, completeTask, and failTask through the same task_write_conflict
classifier the REST handlers use, via curated helpers in the graphql module so
the map_err source guard still holds. A claim race or stale finish reached
GraphQL clients as a generic database error while REST clients got an actionable
conflict; genuine sqlx faults stay opaque on both.
Refs Gitlawb#327
A short SQL batch means no rows exist past it, not that every row in it was examined. When the page filled mid-batch the collector treated the two as the same, marked the stream ended, and suppressed the continuation, so every row after the one that filled the page was unreachable. The equal-timestamp paging tests caught it: three rows with a limit of one returned only the first. Track how much of each batch was consumed and end the stream only when the whole of a short batch has been examined. Otherwise leave `has_more` to the probe row, which resumes from the last examined candidate. Refs Gitlawb#327
…der test A `--limit 0` reached the node, which clamped it to zero and answered with an empty page marked complete, so an invalid request read as proof that no tasks exist. Reject a non-positive limit in `fetch_tasks()`, the helper the CLI and MCP share, so the guard cannot drift between the two surfaces. `task_write_sql_faults_stay_opaque` did not exercise what it named. Dropping `updated_at` also broke the SELECT in `get_task()`, so the fault surfaced from the `get_visible_task()` pre-check through `graphql_app_err` and never reached `graphql_claim_conflict`. A `BEFORE UPDATE` trigger keeps every read valid and faults only inside `Db::claim_task`, and the test now also asserts that a write-time fault is not reclassified as a claim race. Refs Gitlawb#268
…utes
A continuation token names the last candidate a scan examined, not the last
row it returned, so it encodes how far that scan got under one caller's
visibility. The MAC bound the page filter but not the presenting identity,
so resuming a token as a different caller started the scan past rows that
caller was entitled to read and dropped them from the answer with nothing
to signal the loss. Bind the caller's normalized DID into the MAC, with
anonymous flagged absent rather than encoded as empty. Normalization goes
through normalize_owner_key so the two spellings of one did:key identity
bind identically, matching did_matches on the read path: a caller who
presents the other form of their own DID keeps their own page. A mismatched
token renders the existing single rejection message, so this adds no oracle.
GET /api/v1/tasks and GET /api/v1/tasks/{id} are anonymously reachable, and
the visibility gate costs a task lookup plus deduped-repo and
visibility-rule queries before it can return the opaque 404. An
unauthenticated prober therefore pays nothing while the node pays per
request, whether or not the id exists. Attach the per-IP limiter already
used on /ipfs/{cid}, configurable through GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT and
swept by the periodic task like every other per-key limiter.
Refs Gitlawb#268
The per-IP brake added for the task read routes covered only /api/v1/tasks*, so an anonymous caller reached the same collect_visible_tasks and get_visible_task gate over /graphql with no bucket at all. The fence had an open lane beside it. Carry the brake as GraphQL request data and debit it in the tasks and task resolvers rather than layering rate_limit_by_ip onto the GraphQL router: /graphql is one endpoint for every operation, so a router layer would charge unrelated queries and every mutation against the task-read bucket. Debiting per resolved field also prices an aliased query honestly, since ten aliased tasks fields run the gate ten times. Extract RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE so the GraphQL surface, which cannot return a 429 status inside a 200 envelope, refuses with the same text the REST routes use. /graphql/ws serves the query root as well and stays unbraked; closing it needs a WebSocketUpgrade handler and is left for a follow-up.

… batch boundary When candidate scanning reaches MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES without finding a target_visible row and the final batch was full, probe the database for rows beyond the scan position so an exhausted candidate stream is not erroneously marked incomplete. Refs Gitlawb#327
The scan-ceiling branch of collect_visible_tasks settles has_more with an un-gated LIMIT 1 probe, so a caller can learn whether any row - readable or not - trails the position the scan stopped at. Withholding the probe does not remove that bit: enumeration past a denied window longer than one scan budget requires handing back a continuation, and following that continuation returns the same terminal page one round trip later. State what the probe discloses (one bit, only at server-chosen positions a full scan budget apart, reachable only through a MAC'd cursor, never a denied row's id, payload or ucan_token) and pin it end to end. Also correct the comment above the branch, which claimed has_more never comes from an un-gated probe while the code below it did exactly that. Refs Gitlawb#327

[P2] Enforce the requested total for legacy task pages
crates/gl/src/task.rs:481
TaskCmd::Listdocumentslimitas the total number of tasks to return,
andfetch_taskscomputeswantas the remaining total for every request.
The paginated branch enforces that invariant before appending a page, but the
legacy branch directly pushes every returned item. As a result, a legacy or
nonconforming remote can answer--limit 1with a largertasksarray and
bothgl task listand MCPtask_listemit all of it, despite correctly
labelling the result incomplete. The root cause is applying the aggregation
bound only after choosing the paginated protocol variant. Apply the same
remaining-total validation before retaining rows from any response shape the
helper accepts, while preserving the current explicit-incomplete treatment
for legacy nodes. -
[P3] Do not convert contradictory pagination metadata into completion
crates/gl/src/task.rs:304
parse_task_pageacceptshas_more: falsealongside a nonempty
next_cursor, thenfetch_tasksdiscards that cursor and returns
Exhausted, which serializes ascomplete: true. The node contract says a
continuation is present exactly whenhas_moreis true, so this shape is
malformed rather than a valid terminal page. The root cause is that the
parser validates thehas_more: true/missing-cursor direction but does not
validate the inverse relationship. A divergent or malformed remote response
can therefore be silently under-reported. Validate the relationship as a
pair and fail visibly or retain an explicitly incomplete result for this
mismatch; do not follow a cursor when the server sayshas_moreis false.

[P1] Resolve the competing v28 claim before the second migration PR lands
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:1142This migration is correctly numbered against current
main, which ends at v26, but open PR #386 also defines v28.run_pending_migrationsdecides that a migration is already applied using only its numeric version; it records the migration name but never compares it. If the other v28 is deployed first, this branch starts successfully while silently skipping all four task keyset indexes. If this branch is deployed first, the certificate-version migration in #386 is skipped instead and that build can query a column that was never created.For this PR, the required action is only to coordinate merge order and renumber/rebase whichever migration lands second. The runner's inability to detect a version/name mismatch is the underlying repository-wide failure mode, but that work is already tracked separately in #389 and is not an additional ask for this branch. Both v28 definitions simply must not ship as-is.

[P1] Apply the task-read brake to GraphQL WebSocket queries
crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs:81/graphqlreceives request-scopedTaskReadBrakedata throughgraphql_handler, but/graphql/wsis mounted as a separateGraphQLSubscriptionservice and receives neither that brake nor an IP key.task_read_brakethen treats missing context data as success. This is reachable because async-graphql accepts ordinary QueryRoot operations over a WebSocket connection, not only subscription fields. An anonymous client can therefore submit queries containing many aliasedtasks/taskfields, or repeat queries over the connection, while bypassing both the per-IP bucket and the five-task-field request cap. Every admitted field still runs the visibility/database work that the new brake is intended to protect.The root cause is that task-read resource controls are attached at one HTTP handler rather than at a GraphQL execution boundary shared by every transport. Put equivalent per-client rate accounting and the same per-operation task-field budget into WebSocket executions, or explicitly reject QueryRoot task operations on the subscription endpoint. Add a production-router test that sends an aliased task query over
/graphql/wsand proves those two existing limits apply there. -
[P1] Separate task visibility from open-claim eligibility
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:548Task creation still accepts both
repo_id: Noneandassignee_did: None, and the database claim predicate allows the first signer to claim a pending task whose assignee is null. The new mutation precheck callsget_visible_taskfirst, whiletask_visiblehides a repo-less task from everyone except its delegator or an already-designated assignee. As a result, every prospective agent gets the opaque 404 before the database claim can run. The same dead state occurs for an unassigned task whose repository is unknown locally or uses the slash-form mirror ID. These requests return 201 at creation time but cannot reach the existing unassigned-task claim transition.The root cause is using read visibility as the complete authorization policy for a state transition whose purpose is to establish the assignee. Define claim eligibility separately from read eligibility. If unscoped open tasks are not supported, reject this shape at creation and document the invariant. If they are supported, add a narrowly authorized open-claim path that does not make task bodies enumerable and preserves the same opaque response for an ineligible claim and a nonexistent task. Cover the lifecycle with a third-DID create/claim test rather than testing the read and claim handlers independently.

[P2] Do not collapse identity-loading failures into anonymous mode
crates/gl/src/task.rs:522
crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:640CLI list/view and MCP task-list call
load_keypair_from_dir(...).ok(), so a missing, corrupt, or unreadable configured PEM is indistinguishable from intentionally choosing an anonymous request. With caller-dependent task visibility, that distinction changes the answer: delegator-only, assignee-only, and private-repository tasks disappear, while list/MCP can still label the reduced resultcomplete: true; view can turn the same local identity failure into an opaque remote 404. An explicit--dirtypo is therefore reported as authoritative node data rather than a local configuration error.The root cause is representing three states—anonymous by choice, identity loaded, and identity failed—with one
Option<Keypair>. Preserve those states until the request is built. Propagate every error from an explicit CLI/MCP--dir; if absence of the default identity is intended to mean anonymous, distinguish that clean not-found case from malformed PEM, permission, and I/O failures. Add tests asserting that explicit missing and corrupt identity directories issue zero network requests. -
[P2] Validate continuation metadata before deciding that the requested limit is complete
crates/gl/src/task.rs:461When the accumulated row count exactly reaches
limit, this branch exits asLimitReachedbefore thehas_morecursor checks below it. A node response withhas_more: trueand no cursor is consequently serialized ashas_more: false, complete: true, because output deriveshas_morefrom the absent saved cursor. If the node returns the same cursor used for the request, that non-advancing token is exposed as a valid resume point. The existing no-progress checks catch both shapes only when the page is short of the requested total.The root cause is validating continuation state after selecting the aggregate stop reason. Validate
has_more, cursor presence, and cursor progress before theLimitReachedbranch, and allow only a validated cursor to becomesafe_resume_cursor. Add exact-limit cases for a missing cursor, the caller-supplied cursor, and a previously seen cursor, and requirecomplete: falsewith no unsafe resume recommendation. -
[P2] Validate page-local row identity before accepting task progress
crates/gl/src/task.rs:419The duplicate guard checks each returned ID only against
seen_task_idsfrom earlier pages. IDs from the current page are inserted later, after the whole page has passed validation, so[{"id":"a"},{"id":"a"}]is accepted and both rows consume the requested total. Values with no stringidbypass the progress guard entirely and are also retained as tasks. Either shape can make a partial or malformed response lookcomplete: trueand can crowd unique tasks out of the requested result.The root cause is treating row identity as optional and committing IDs separately from validation. Validate the minimum task schema at the client boundary, including a nonempty string ID, and check IDs using a temporary set seeded from prior pages and updated for each row in the current page. Commit the page and its IDs only after the entire page passes. Exercise duplicate IDs within one page, null/missing IDs, and mixed valid/invalid rows through the shared helper so CLI and MCP cannot diverge.

[P2] Keep raw cursors out of terminal-facing diagnostics
crates/gl/src/task.rs:250parse_task_pageaccepts any nonempty cursor string for protocol use, and the new truncation warning interpolates that remote value verbatim into stderr. A hostile configured node can place ANSI/OSC controls, newlines, bidi formatting characters, or a very long value innext_cursor; when the scan/page guard emits a warning, those bytes reach the user's terminal as trusted-looking diagnostics. JSON stdout is escaped by serde, but that does not protect the separateeprintln!sink.The root cause is using the opaque protocol token itself as display text. Keep the original cursor unchanged for request resumption, but create a separate sanitized and length-capped display representation at the terminal boundary. The existing
sanitize_node_msghelper already implements the repository's control/bidi policy; apply it to a short cursor preview rather than modifying the stored cursor. Add a stderr-oriented test containing ESC, newline, U+202E, and an oversized cursor and assert none reach output raw. -
[P2] Enforce a response-byte budget before task-page JSON parsing
crates/gl/src/task.rs:409Response::json()buffers the complete response before the row-count, duplicate, cursor-cycle, or 25-page guards run. Those guards therefore bound work only after an allocation controlled by the remote node. A hostile node can exhaust CLI/MCP memory on the first page with a huge JSON array or string; automatic pagination can repeat large allocations and retain earlier task values across subsequent pages. This response-size gap was also named in the prior merge-gate guidance for the hostile-node client suite.The root cause is placing the trust boundary at parsed rows instead of at the HTTP body. Stream each successful page into a byte-preserving capped buffer before deserialization, reject a declared
Content-Lengthover the cap early, and enforce the same per-page cap for chunked bodies rather than relying on the header. Use one shared helper for the CLI/MCP task-page path. Test both oversized fixed-length and chunked responses and assert failure occurs before any page is exposed.
…safety. - Wire TaskReadBrake into /graphql/ws subscriptions and verify per-request field caps and per-IP rate limiting over WebSocket connections. - Define open-claim eligibility separately from read visibility so unassigned tasks on readable/unscoped domains can be claimed without making task bodies enumerable. - Propagate identity errors on explicit key directories in CLI and MCP instead of silently falling back to anonymous mode. - Enforce response byte limits before deserializing task pages, validate row schema and page-local uniqueness before row commit, and sanitize continuation cursors in terminal diagnostics. - Add GraphQL denial assertions for repo-less tasks and token isolation.

[P2] Realign the task-race tests without dropping their lower-layer coverage
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:2128
Both Rust test jobs are red on this head (stable, beta). Two failures have the same root cause: the newget_claimable_taskeligibility precheck now rejects an ineligible claimant opaquely before the conditional SQL write runs.claim_task_does_not_steal_preassigned_assigneetherefore receives 404 instead of reaching the SQL guard and returning 409; similarly, the second sequential claim intask_write_races_surface_as_conflicts_not_db_errorsis no longer a simulated write race because it observes the already-claimed row during the precheck and returns not-found before the conflict mapper is exercised.Please align the endpoint expectations with the intended opaque eligibility contract, but do not fix the jobs by deleting the SQL-guard or GraphQL conflict-classification coverage. Preserve those lower-layer guarantees with scenarios that actually reach the conditional write/race path, then assert that a real lost write race remains a fixed client-safe conflict while an ineligible caller remains indistinguishable from a missing task. This keeps the new existence-hiding behavior without weakening the atomic assignee/state checks.

[P2] Consume each WebSocket operation through its terminal frame
crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs:824
graphql_ws_task_query_enforces_per_ip_rate_limitreads only the first operation's data frame. Undergraphql-transport-ws, the server then emits{"type":"complete","id":"1"}; after operation 2 is sent, the test's next receive consumes that leftover terminal frame and asserts that it should contain operation 2's rate-limit error. This is why the current failure reports the operation-1completemessage rather than a limiter result.Fix the test harness at the protocol boundary: receive frames by operation ID until each operation's
completeframe before starting or asserting on the next operation, and assert the error on operation 2's own response. Do not change the limiter or suppress protocol-complete frames to satisfy this test; operation 2 may already have exercised the limiter, but the test has not read operation 2's response.

[P2] Reset the GraphQL task-field budget for each WebSocket operation
crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs:61
The WS handler constructs oneTaskReadBrakeduring the upgrade and passes it throughGraphQLWebSocket::with_data. That installs the brake in one connection/sessionArc<Data>shared by every operation; becauserequest_countis anArc<AtomicUsize>andTaskReadBrake::checkonly increments it, the counter is never reset at an operation boundary. HTTP does not have this problem becausegraphql_handlerconstructs a fresh brake for every POST.The concrete failure is cumulative: five separate operations containing one
tasks/taskfield each consume the documented five-fields-per-request budget, then operation 6 and every later task read on that socket is rejected until reconnect even though each operation is individually valid and the hourly IP bucket can still have capacity. Concurrent operations on one socket also debit each other's request budget. The existing six-alias test verifies aggregation within one operation, but it cannot detect this cross-operation lifetime error.Address the lifetime mismatch at its root: keep the IP-derived key and hourly
RateLimiterconnection-scoped, but create an independent five-field budget for each started GraphQL operation. Avoid resetting one shared atomic at completion, because overlapping operations could reset or consume each other's counters. A per-operation data/validation hook or equivalent request-local accounting should preserve both intended controls: six aliases in one operation must be braked, while six sequential one-field operations must each receive a fresh field budget; the per-IP limiter must continue spanning every operation on the connection.
