TST-24 asked for per-client wire tests against a fake gateway. An audit first
corrected the finding's premise: Go, Rust, and Java already had them — bufconn,
a loopback tonic server, and InProcessServerBuilder respectively — each already
asserting the round trip, the server-observed bearer header, and the ReplayGap
sentinel. The two genuine gaps were .NET (every test substituted the transport
interface; the test project had no server package at all) and Python (stub
monkeypatching everywhere but one opt-in TLS test).
Both now serve mxaccess_gateway.v1.MxAccessGateway over a real transport —
Kestrel h2c and grpc.aio, each on an ephemeral loopback port — and drive the
ordinary public client API against it. Only the gateway's behaviour is canned;
the framing, serialization, metadata, and status codes are genuine. Four shapes
each: full round trip with every reply field asserted, the authorization header
as received by the server (including on the streaming RPC), the ReplayGap
sentinel surfaced as the client's typed signal, and a real PERMISSION_DENIED
mapping to the typed authorization error.
The .NET client was only ever compiled in CI, never tested, so the portable job
gains a dotnet test step.
Fixes a bug the new tests caught on their first run: Python's connect() built the
grpc.aio channel inside asyncio.to_thread, and a grpc.aio channel binds to the
event loop current on the constructing thread, so every non-stub connection
raised 'There is no current event loop in thread'. No mock-based test could see
it, and the test guarding the off-loop behaviour patched create_channel and so
asserted the bug. Split resolve_channel_security (blocking TOFU probe, off-loop)
from create_channel (on-loop); the guard tests now assert both halves.
The nightly-windev job (cycle-2 TST-25) discharges TST-05's scheduling design:
cron 0 6 * * * runs run-windev-ci.sh live, which sets
MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_MXACCESS_TESTS=1, runs WorkerLiveMxAccessSmokeTests on windev,
and opens a Gitea issue on failure. That converts 'run by memory' into 'runs
nightly, reports failures'.
The finding's other half — audit the live suite for coverage of each of the eleven
late-added command kinds — is not discharged. The audit's answer is negative for
five: the suite covers all six COM commands and none of the five control commands
(Ping/GetSessionState/GetWorkerInfo/DrainEvents/ShutdownWorker), which are exactly
the kinds the finding calls masked by FakeWorkerHarness canned replies. Recorded as
Partially done with the residual test work specified, rather than claiming closure.
Add docs/plans/2026-07-10-dashboard-session-acl-tst15.md: the fleshed-out
Phase-4 design for the deferred TST-15 finding. Resolves the crux the deferral
left open — the dashboard authenticates LDAP users (Admin/Viewer) while sessions
are API-key-owned (OwnerKeyId), two disjoint identity domains — via a session tag
sourced from the owning API key (carried in the existing ApiKeyConstraints JSON
blob, no SQLite migration). Admin-sees-all; a Viewer may SubscribeSession iff
session.Tags intersects the Viewer's granted tags (new Dashboard:GroupToTag map
-> hub-token tag claims); untagged sessions Admin-only by default. Includes the
enforcement path, task breakdown (epic Tasks 16-19), test plan incl. live-LDAP,
and rejected alternatives.
Design only — TST-15 stays Not started (no implementation). The tracker and the
60-testing-docs-gaps TST-15 section point at the design doc; the change-log also
records the TST-03 finding (zero registered runners; needs a runner co-located on
the gitea Docker network).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DMXXvNuPekkkrTEyPNxEkW
Adds the 2026-07-08 architecture review (00-overall + six domain reports)
and a remediation/ tree: one design+implementation doc per domain covering
every finding, plus 00-tracking.md as the master progress tracker.
- 153 findings with stable IDs (GWC/WRK/IPC/SEC/CLI/TST), each with
design rationale, implementation steps, tests, docs, and verification.
- Tracker rolls findings up by severity and P0/P1/P2 roadmap tier, records
cross-cutting clusters and per-finding status (all Not started).
- Planning docs only; no source changes.
