The Health dashboard's "Trigger failover" confirmation offered a red button
labelled *Delete*. The copy was right; the button was not. `DialogHost` derived
the confirm label solely from `danger`, so `danger: true` meant the verb was
literally "Delete" for every caller — and no caller could say otherwise, because
`IDialogService.ConfirmAsync` had no label parameter.
`danger` now selects styling only; a new optional `confirmLabel` names the action
and wins over the fallback. The kind/danger fallback is deliberately RETAINED
("Save" for a prompt, "Delete" for a bare danger confirm, "Confirm" otherwise):
around 20 call sites are genuine deletes where it is correct, and the Playwright
suites click the literal "Delete". Requiring the label everywhere would have
churned those 20 sites for no behaviour change, with the miss-detection resting
on Playwright runs that need a live rig.
Audited all 34 confirm call sites; 9 read "Delete" for something that is not a
delete and are relabelled:
Fail over CentralFailoverControl (central pair, site pair)
Approve SecuredWrites — approve (this one WRITES TO A DEVICE)
Reject SecuredWrites — reject
Disable Topology — disable instance
Discard SiteCallsReport, NotificationReport, ParkedMessages (bulk + single)
The remaining 25 are correct as they stand: 18 genuine deletes plus 7 non-danger
confirms ("Revert to base", the three Retry paths) whose button reads "Confirm".
Tests: FailoverConfirmLabelTests drives the real DialogService behind a real
DialogHost — a substitute would pin the argument but not what the operator reads
— covering both branches, that the button keeps btn-danger, and that an
unlabelled danger confirm still falls back to "Delete". Note its click is
deliberately not awaited: with a real dialog the handler parks on ConfirmAsync
until answered, so awaiting deadlocks. Existing IDialogService fakes and
NSubstitute matchers gain the 4th parameter (an optional param is baked into the
call site, so a 3-arg Arg.Any stub silently stops matching a labelled call).
BundleUnlockRateLimiter was registered (ServiceCollectionExtensions), injected
into BundleImporter, unit-tested, documented on
TransportOptions.MaxUnlockAttemptsPerIpPerHour = 10 and pinned in
appsettings.Central.json — but _unlockRateLimiter was never invoked. A
brute-force passphrase attacker against a stolen bundle was bounded only by the
per-bundle 3-strike lockout, which a re-export side-steps (new ContentHash).
LoadAsync now registers every unlock attempt against the limiter. Ordering is
load-bearing: AFTER the per-bundle lockout check (hammering a locked bundle
spends no hourly budget) and BEFORE the decrypt (so a denial burns no per-bundle
strike — otherwise the throttle would be a way to lock a bundle someone is
legitimately importing). Over budget throws the new
BundleUnlockThrottledException, fail-closed with a clear message on both
surfaces; it lives in Commons because the management surface (Commons-only
references) must catch it to return a curated error rather than MapFault's
generic internal-error text.
Client key plumbing:
- Central UI: new scoped CircuitClientAddressProvider snapshots
Connection.RemoteIpAddress at circuit establishment — the same constraint and
the same pattern as CookieAuthenticationStateProvider, since HttpContext is
null by the time a circuit submits a passphrase.
- CLI/management: additive ManagementEnvelope.ClientIp, stamped by
ManagementEndpoints and threaded through DispatchCommand to the preview/import
bundle handlers.
- No attributable address => a single SHARED "<unattributed>" bucket, not a
bypass: unknown clients get a stricter budget, never none. Per-client
isolation is only real behind a ForwardedHeaders-trusted proxy, the same
caveat the login throttle carries (Component-Security.md).
Docs: Component-Transport.md + docs/components/Transport.md record the two-level
ordering, the client-key sourcing, the shared-bucket fallback and a
troubleshooting entry for the new error.
Tests: 6 importer tests (cap enforced; denial != passphrase failure, no strike
burned; per-client isolation; shared unattributed bucket; unencrypted bundles
consume no budget; a locked bundle spends no hourly budget) — 4 of the 6 fail
with the limiter call disabled, i.e. against the dead-code state. Plus
ManagementActor tests pinning the ClientIp forwarding and the curated
throttle error.
