- CreateDefaultHttpClient sets AllowAutoRedirect=false so a 307/308 cannot re-POST the
/auth/token credential form elsewhere.
- A forced re-exchange after a 401 carries the refused token; inside the gate it reuses
a token another caller already re-exchanged instead of binding again. The BasicOnly
switch is written under the same gate.
- SCADABRIDGE_VERBOSE=1 prints a stderr note when a fresh token is refused and the CLI
falls back to Basic.
- debug stream's AccessTokenProvider retries the exchange once and documents the
null-token degradation (the hub refuses, automatic reconnect retries).
- Tests: concurrent refusal reuses the peer refresh (2 exchanges, not 3); real-socket
redirect is not followed.
- ManagementAuthenticator accepts Authorization: Bearer <jwt> alongside Basic on
/management, the audit REST endpoints and the debug-stream hub. Tokens are
validated locally (HS256 only, alg=none rejected, issuer/audience, lifetime with
30 s skew); roles and site scope inside a valid token are authoritative for its
lifetime, so a bearer call costs no LDAP bind and no role re-map.
- /auth/token returns expires_in + management_bearer:true, carries username, display
name, roles and permitted sites, and answers 404 under DisableLogin.
- CLI exchanges credentials once per process (in-memory CliTokenStore), sends Bearer,
re-exchanges once on 401 then falls back to Basic; older/login-disabled servers are
Basic-only; bad credentials are not retried with Basic. Debug stream uses the token
via AccessTokenProvider. SCADABRIDGE_AUTH_MODE=basic opts out.
- StartupValidator fails a Central boot on a JwtSigningKey under 32 UTF-8 bytes;
fixed the false 'fail-fast at construction' comment. Removed the dead
RefreshToken/RecordActivity/ShouldRefresh/IsIdleTimedOut members and the inert
JwtRefreshThresholdMinutes; JwtExpiryMinutes now documented as the bearer lifetime
(validated > 0).
- RoleMapper reads through a process-wide RoleMappingCache (RoleMappingCacheSeconds,
default 30 s): one refresh loads the table plus every Deployer mapping's scope
rules, Invalidate() drops it (generation-guarded against in-flight refreshes).
- Component-Security.md / Component-CLI.md / CLI README describe the real model
(cookie claims ticket, bearer for CLI) instead of a cookie-embedded JWT.
Comment/XML-doc changes only, no code logic:
- strip project-tracking references (WP*, P*-*, row-NN, #NN, Task N) from
comments, keeping the explanatory rationale
- add missing summaries, <param>, <returns>, <typeparam> and <inheritdoc/>
- replace misused <inheritdoc/> with real docs; where <inheritdoc/> was
combined with useful remarks, move the rationale into // comments
- drop stale replicationActor <param> on DeploymentManagerActor ctor
Remaining 5 are false positives (CWE-1236 x2, failures-1, year-0001, M365).
Build 0 errors / 0 warnings.
Six adversarial-review findings, each verified against the code first.
F1 (HIGH) CLI HttpClient capped every call at min(30s, caller timeout),
silently truncating deploy site's 5-minute BulkDeployTimeout and the
5-minute bundle export/preview/import calls — which printed a fake
"504 Request timed out" while the server kept working. HttpClient.Timeout
is now Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan (the per-call CTS is the single overall
deadline, connect included) with the connect phase bounded separately on
SocketsHttpHandler.ConnectTimeout. The env override is renamed to
SCADABRIDGE_HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS to match its new meaning.
F2 (HIGH) StaleInstanceProbe's process-static memo served stale hashes
because nothing bumped the watermark on three paths:
(a) BundleImporter commits through the raw DbContext, so no import ever
moved the watermark — a second import overwriting the same template
could be OMITTED from ImportResult.StaleInstanceIds. It now bumps
once per apply ATTEMPT: after the commit, and after the rollback too
(the probe runs pre-commit, so a rolled-back attempt leaves memos for
state that never landed; bumping on both paths is the simplest
correct shape, versus threading transaction awareness through a
process-static cache).
(b) CollectWatermarkBumps' default: arm silently no-op'd, contradicting
its own doc. It now sets unattributed=true — an over-broad bump costs
extra work, a missed one produces stale work.
(c) DataConnection edits route through SiteRepository.SaveChangesAsync,
which had no watermark at all, yet Protocol/Primary+Backup config/
FailoverRetryCount are revision-hash inputs. It now bumps (BumpAll —
a connection has no owning template) after a commit that touched one.
F3 (MED) CLI TemplateTableProjection read child ARRAYS, but ListTemplates
now returns database-projected TemplateSummary rows, so template list
printed all zeros. It now prefers the *Count scalars and falls back to
array length (template get still returns full entities). --detail help
text and README corrected: a listing cannot yield definitions, so --detail
renders the raw summary payload and template get --id is the full dump.
F4 (MED) DeploySiteAsync staged every PendingDeployment in phase 1 against
a 5-min TTL while phase 2 reached them one batch at a time, so tail
instances' fetch tokens could expire before their command was sent.
Staging moved into phase 2, immediately before each send; prepare keeps
its flatten/validate/record work. The staging write is the phase's only
repository touch and is serialised behind a 1-permit semaphore, so the
non-thread-safe DbContext constraint holds and the sends stay concurrent.
F5 (MED, latent) DeploySiteAsync leaked every held operation lock if
cancelled — a wedged per-instance semaphore is permanent for the process.
Phase 2 no longer throws (cancellation is recorded as a per-instance
outcome so phase 3 still runs), and an escape from phase 1 or 3 now
unwinds every unfinalised entry: Failed status + lock release.
F6 (LOW) ScriptCompileVerdictCache's promotion wrote hot directly,
bypassing SegmentCapacity (true ceiling 3x against a documented 2x).
Promotion now goes through Store, keeping generational semantics; _hot
and _cold are volatile.
Tests: CLI 396, DeploymentManager 133, ManagementService 494,
TemplateEngine 478, ScriptAnalysis 60, Transport 157, Transport
integration 106, ConfigurationDatabase 366 — all green, 0 build warnings.
The F2/F4/F5 regression tests were each confirmed to FAIL with their fix
reverted.
WP2.6 (arch-review remediation, cross-cutting misc):
- SiteExternalSystemRepository: name/ID-indexed ExternalSystemDefinitionCache replaces
the fetch-all + reverse-map scan on every by-ID/method lookup; loaded once per
redeploy, invalidated by DeploymentManagerActor after HandleDeployArtifacts applies
external-system changes. Static JsonSerializerOptions for method-list parsing.
- Inbound API: short-TTL ApiMethodCache fronts the per-request ApiMethod repository
fetch; invalidated by name via the existing ScriptArtifactChangeSubscriber/
IScriptArtifactChangeBus pipeline, self-healing via TTL for changes the bus
doesn't cover (e.g. Management API edits).
- StoreAndForward: the cached-call audit-observer queue — the one unbounded channel
left in the system — is now bounded (ObserverQueueCapacity, default 10,000) with
DropOldest overflow and a dropped-notification counter.
- SiteStreamManager: alarm state changes now travel a dedicated publish
source/broadcast hub, isolated from the (far higher-volume) attribute path, so an
attribute storm can no longer evict a pending alarm transition; the alarm hand-off
queue is bounded with a drop counter surfaced on the site health report
(SiteStreamAlarmDropCount via the new SiteStreamAlarmDropReporter), and publishing
is skipped entirely at zero subscribers on either path.
- CLI ManagementHttpClient: explicit 30s HttpClient.Timeout on the shared
construction (was the 100s framework default), overridable via
SCADABRIDGE_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
Deviation: the failback-probe heartbeat item is NOT included — its only viable
surface (CentralChannelProvider.cs / heartbeat consumers) lives entirely in the
Communication project, explicitly off-limits to this work package this phase.
Tests: SiteRuntime.Tests (550), InboundAPI.Tests (278), StoreAndForward.Tests (133),
CLI.Tests (390), HealthMonitoring.Tests (97) — all green after full solution build.
Remove project bookkeeping citations from shipped code comments across the
solution: hyphenated task IDs (WP-14, StoreAndForward-025), milestone/task/
issue refs (M3, Task 4, Audit Log #23, #21), Bundle X task-bundle labels,
and C/D/K/S/T phase labels.
Comment text only — no code logic, string/log literals, or XML-doc structure
changed. Genuine descriptions are preserved (only the citation is stripped),
and technical lookalikes are retained (UTF-8, SHA-256, T00:00:00, M365,
UTC-5, pre-C4/pre-C5 schema versions). Flagged by the new CommentChecker
TaskReferenceInComment / TrackingReferenceInComment checks plus targeted
grep passes; full solution builds clean, append-only guard tests pass.
