Security-sensitive batch, handled main-thread for careful judgment on
secret-leak and pepper-bypass paths.
Secret leak / pepper bypass:
- CD-016 (pepper bypass): InboundApiRepository's GetApiKeyByValueAsync no
longer hashes the candidate with the unpeppered ApiKeyHasher.Default —
ctor takes a lazy Func<IApiKeyHasher> accessor (lazy so test composition
roots without a pepper still bring up the repository), and the DI
registration wires sp.GetService<IApiKeyHasher>() so the production
peppered hasher matches the stored KeyHash. Regression test asserts
positive (peppered roundtrip) AND negative (Default hasher misses the
same key — proving the lookup uses the injected hasher).
- MgmtSvc-020 (SMTP credential leak): UpdateSmtpConfig/ListSmtpConfigs
now project through SmtpConfigPublicShape so the response payload and
audit-row afterState never carry the Credentials field — only a
HasCredentials bool. The SMTP password / OAuth2 client secret no
longer leaves the Admin-only UpdateSmtpConfig boundary the caller
already supplied it to.
Redaction:
- AuditLog-008 (test-fixture under-redact): new
SafeDefaultAuditPayloadFilter (stateless singleton) does HTTP header
redaction for the always-sensitive defaults (Authorization, X-Api-Key,
Cookie, Set-Cookie). FallbackAuditWriter, CentralAuditWriter, and
AuditLogIngestActor (both ingest paths) default to it instead of null
— composition roots that bypass AddAuditLog can no longer write
unredacted auth headers to the audit store.
- NotifService-025 (over-mask): CredentialRedactor.Scrub now only masks
the last colon-separated component (password / clientSecret) AND only
if it's >= 12 chars (typical password heuristic). Short user names
like "root" no longer become global redaction tokens that eat unrelated
diagnostic text. The full packed string is always masked regardless of
length. 3 new negative tests pin the no-over-mask contract.
Audit-row correctness / fail-loud:
- InboundAPI-025: Program.cs UseWhen predicate now excludes /api/audit,
/api/management, /api/centralui, /api/script-analysis AND requires POST
— the AuditWriteMiddleware no longer emits spurious ApiInbound rows
for audit-log query/export endpoints (write-on-read recursion broken).
- ESG-021: ApplyAuth now logs Warning (not silent) on empty
AuthConfiguration for apikey/basic, unknown AuthType, and malformed
Basic config. AuthConfiguration value NEVER logged. AuthType=none
remains silent (documented unauthenticated sentinel).
- Security-021: AddSecurity now logs a startup Warning when
RequireHttpsCookie=false — an HTTP-only deployment that previously
transmitted the cookie-embedded JWT silently in cleartext is now
audible in the log.
Defensive:
- CD-021: SwitchOutPartitionAsync's monthBoundary format string now
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fffffff (datetime2(7) precision) so a future
sub-second / non-midnight boundary doesn't silently round to the
wrong partition.
Plus reconciled stale per-module Open-findings counters that had drifted
from earlier sessions (AuditLog, CD, ESG, IAPI, MgmtSvc, NotifService,
Security).
Build clean; all affected test projects green (Host 208, ConfigDB 242,
ESG 69, IAPI 151, MgmtSvc 100, NotifService 55, Security 85, AuditLog
247/248 — 1 pre-existing date-sensitive integration test flake on
PartitionPurgeTests, unrelated). README regenerated: 46 open (was 54).
Well-localised perf fixes across 8 modules.
Lock decoupling / SQL streaming:
- AuditLog-005: SqliteAuditWriter gains dedicated read-only _readConnection
(+ _readLock) backed by WAL journal mode. GetBacklogStatsAsync,
ReadPendingAsync, ReadPendingSinceAsync, ReadForwardedAsync no longer
contend with the hot-path INSERT lock — backlog probes on a 30s timer
can't stall the writer under multi-hundred-K Pending backlog.
- SEL-022: dropped Cache=Shared from SiteEventLogger's default connection
string (single-connection logger; mode was dormant config).
Memory / streaming:
- CLI-019: bundle export streams base64 in 1 MB-aligned chunks via
Convert.TryFromBase64Chars straight into the FileStream — no more
full-bundle byte[] allocation.
- CentralUI-031: TransportImport now stages the upload to a per-session
temp file under Path.GetTempPath() (replaces in-memory byte[] field);
page implements IDisposable to delete the temp file on reset / new
upload / dispose. Per-circuit working set drops from ~100 MB to ~80 KB.
N+1 hoisting:
- Transport-008: added ITemplateEngineRepository.GetTemplatesWithChildrenAsync
bulk method; BundleImporter.PreviewAsync calls it once instead of per-
template-name. Single query with .Include(...).AsSplitQuery().
- DM-023: BuildDeployArtifactsCommandAsync's per-site loop now references
a pre-fetched GlobalArtifactSnapshot (shared scripts, external systems,
DB connections, notification lists, SMTP) instead of re-querying per site.
- MgmtSvc-023: HandleQueryDeployments unfiltered branch uses one
GetAllInstancesAsync bulk load + Dictionary<int,int?> lookup (was a
GetInstanceByIdAsync per record).
Small allocations / per-tick rebuilds:
- InboundAPI-019: AuditWriteMiddleware gates EnableBuffering() on
RequestHasBody() so GET/HEAD/DELETE/TRACE/OPTIONS and Content-Length:0
requests skip the FileBufferingReadStream allocation.
- NotifOutbox-006: ResolveAdapters dictionary now cached on
_adaptersCache (built lazily on first sweep) + actor-lifetime
_adaptersScope; ResolveAdapters no longer rebuilds per dispatch tick.
Verify-only:
- Comm-017: Confirmed _inProgressDeployments was deleted by Comm-016 in
commit ac96b83 — marked Resolved with that attribution. No code change.
Doc-correction:
- NS-022: Updated MailKitSmtpClientWrapper XML doc to spell out single-
connection / per-delivery-factory contract (option (b) — transient
client per Send — rejected because it re-handshakes TLS per email).
10+ new regression tests across 8 test projects. Build clean; affected
suites all green. README regenerated: 54 open (was 65).
Resolves the auth-theme batch from the 2026-05-28 baseline review (8 findings
across Security/CentralUI/ManagementService/CLI). The most consequential gaps:
NotificationReport + SiteCallsReport now route through SiteScopeService so a
site-scoped Deployment user cannot see or act on other sites' rows (CUI-028);
QueryAuditLogCommand is no longer "any authenticated user" — gated Admin-only
to match /api/audit/query's strictness (MS-018); RoleMapper preserves the
broader grant when a user is in both an unscoped and scoped Deployment LDAP
group, instead of silently narrowing to the scoped set (Sec-016); and the
dead SiteScopeRequirement/Handler are deleted so SiteScopeService is
unambiguously the sole site-scoping mechanism (Sec-017). Pending findings:
172 → 164.
Re-applies the full 10-category checklist to every src/ project — including
first-time reviews of the four newer components (AuditLog, NotificationOutbox,
SiteCallAudit, Transport) — so the code-reviews/ index reflects today's
codebase rather than the 2026-05-16 baseline. 172 new Open findings (0
Critical, 18 High, 62 Medium, 92 Low); 481 findings total across 23 modules.
regen-readme.py now derives each module's Last reviewed + Commit from its
findings.md header instead of hard-coding 2026-05-16 / 9c60592, so future
single-module re-reviews show their own date in the Module Status table.
Establishes a per-module code review workflow under code-reviews/ and
records the 2026-05-16 baseline review (commit 9c60592): 241 findings
across all src/ modules (6 Critical, 46 High, 100 Medium, 89 Low).
This is the clean starting point for remediation work.
