Targeted re-read of the 203-file fca978d sweep (docs(src): add missing
XML docs and strip tracking-ID comments): a mechanical pre-pass narrowed
1,383 deletions to 68 files / 816 residual prose lines, and a judged
review of every one found 17 collateral deletions across 10 files —
rationale prose deleted alongside resolved markers with no equivalent
surviving anywhere in the tree. Restored (markers stay stripped, per the
sweep's intent):
- SessionManager: the three metrics-accounting invariants (kill-path
gauge decrement safety, shutdown kill-fallback registry guard vs
double bookkeeping, SessionClosed-not-SessionRemoved on failed close)
- SessionManagerTests: the matching accounting expectation note and the
reason-string propagation pins (test summary + FakeWorkerClient.LastKillReason)
- MxAccessGatewayService.AcknowledgeAlarm: the routing remarks (GUID vs
Provider!Group.Tag vs InvalidRequest; session-less via IGatewayAlarmService)
— inheritdoc resolves to nothing (proto-generated base is undocumented)
- HubTokenService.Validate: why the hollow-token guard exists
(non-empty AuthenticationType alone satisfies IsAuthenticated)
- DashboardSessionAdminService: why both broad catches exist (keep raw
teardown exceptions out of Blazor's error boundary), Close + Kill paths
- WorkerPipeSession.RunAsync: why the factory result throws instead of
NREing (unambiguous failure; finally-block Dispose can't no-op)
- LmxSubtagAlarmSource: Advise idempotency; Write is always unsecured
(user id 0), never WriteSecured semantics
- WnWrapAlarmConsumer: the v1-prefix path is what WIN-911-style code uses
- DashboardSnapshotPublisherTests: what the 10ms slack absorbs
(Task.Delay's coarse Windows timer quantum)
- DashboardBrowseAndAlarmModelTests: why the label text is pinned, not
just the CSS class
Everything else flagged verified benign: inheritdoc replacements resolve
to equal-or-richer interface docs, or the substance survives relocated.
NonWindows slnx 0W/0E; touched gateway test classes 65/65.
The final integration review's non-blocker reservations, all documentation
or comment truth except one test arm.
The alarm feed opens provider_status -> snapshot_status -> cached
active_alarm -> snapshot_complete, which is what GatewayAlarmMonitor has
done since the snapshot_status frame landed. Two places still described
the old order: docs/Grpc.md said provider_status arrived *after* the
initial snapshot, contradicting its own snapshot_status section two
paragraphs down, and AlarmFeedMessage's leading proto comment named
neither status frame at all. Both now state the sequence the monitor
emits, so a client author reading either one gets the frame order right.
The proto comment change flows through the generated trees (Contracts,
Go, Java) and the client descriptor set; the Rust vendored copy stays
byte-identical to canonical. Python's generator does not carry proto
comments into its output, so it has no delta.
AlarmsHubPublisherTests' valueless-payload case covered snapshot_complete
and provider_status but not snapshot_status, leaving the newest arm
unpinned against the redaction switch that must ignore it. Added.
WnWrapAlarmConsumer's ack comment led with the 2026-05-01 reading that
-55 tracks the 8-arg overload, then refuted itself six lines later with
the 2026-08-18 probe. It now leads with the observation labelled as
narrower than it reads -- mirroring the correction already in
docs/AlarmClientDiscovery.md -- so the block argues one thing: the 6-arg
call site stays for parity, and rc semantics are per the probe. A
paragraph orphaned by an earlier splice is rewrapped. Comment interior
only; the file compiles on Windows.
TST-16 gets a dated closure note rather than a rewrite: the flag it
called dead was implemented 2026-08-18. GatewayDashboardDesign's /browse
paragraph gains the failed-read carve-out GatewayConfiguration already
documented, so the two agree that a failed read keeps its - placeholder.
Follow-up to the per-session event ACL. Part of that change rode into 693a78d
via a concurrent agent's pathspec-less commit; this commit carries the review
fixes and uses pathspecs on the commit itself so it cannot recur in either
direction.
Gating the page's subscribe seam made AttachEvents asynchronous — it awaits the
authentication state — and that await is a suspension point the synchronous
version did not have. On a rapid A -> B navigation the suspended A continuation
resumes after B's parameter set has run to completion, re-reads the live
SessionId (now B's), and attaches B a SECOND time. The ACL is not bypassed —
the newer attach already cleared that same session — but the fields holding B's
first subscription are overwritten in place, so nothing ever disposes it: its
EventsHubViewerRegistry entry is never released, which keeps the mirror cloning
events for a session the page is no longer watching through that handle, and
its pump is never cancelled. A resource leak the ACL work introduced.
OnParametersSetAsync now claims a monotonic _attachGeneration synchronously,
before its first await, and AttachEventsAsync re-checks it after the await and
before any field write or Subscribe call. A stale attach returns rather than
detaching: it owns nothing, and tearing down there would destroy the newer
attach's subscription. DetachEventsAsync needs no such guard — it captures and
nulls the live fields synchronously before it awaits, so a resumed detach only
unwinds what it already took ownership of. Same dispatcher-owned identity idea
as the existing ReferenceEquals guards in PumpEventsAsync and
MarkDisconnectedAsync, one level up.
The interleaving is not expressible with the static HtmlRenderer idiom the other
page tests use: it renders a root component once and exposes no parameter-update
seam. The new test therefore adds a minimal Renderer subclass whose only job is
to mount a component and drive a second SetParametersAsync into it while the
first is parked on a gated AuthenticationStateProvider. That subclass is the
lone reason for a narrowly scoped BL0006 suppression, justified in place: it is
test-only scaffolding that never ships, and the cost of the warning coming true
is a compile break in one test file on an SDK bump. Confirmed non-vacuous by
mutation — with the generation check disabled the test goes red on the doubled
subscription and the two passing ACL tests stay green.
Two decision-table corners are now pinned rather than implied. Admin x
nonexistent session id resolves to ALLOW, because the admin bypass is evaluated
before the registry lookup; a plausible "look the session up first, it reads
better" refactor would flip it, so a test documents the ordering. EventsHub's
remarks said "an unknown session id is denied" without qualification, which read
as universal; they now state that the bypass is checked first and every rule
below it is a non-Admin rule.
HubTokenServiceTests gains the truly-absent-field case: a hand-built payload
JSON with no Tags key at all, protected through the same purpose, which is the
shape every in-flight token has across the deploy that introduces the field. The
existing test covered present-but-empty, which does not exercise the null
coalesce that stands between a legacy token and a crash on the hub auth path.
ProtectorPurpose became internal so the test cannot drift from the real purpose
string.
Tag-count cardinality cap considered and recorded as a deliberate non-goal.
Build 0 warnings / 0 errors; 48 filtered (ACL/hub/token/page) and 257 dashboard
tests pass.
The truncation-cliff fix made alarm transitions truncation-safe but silent:
when GetXmlCurrentAlarms2 returns exactly maxAlmCnt records the worker
suppresses absence-implies-Clear inference and says so only in a rate-limited
stderr warning. No client and no operator could tell a complete active set
from a capped one.
Two additive proto3 booleans carry the verdict out:
- QueryActiveAlarmsReplyPayload.snapshot_truncated = 2 (worker IPC reply)
- ActiveAlarmSnapshot.from_truncated_snapshot = 16 (per record)
The per-record field is not an aesthetic choice. QueryActiveAlarms returns a
bare `stream ActiveAlarmSnapshot` with no envelope, header, or trailer, so a
per-record boolean is the only carrier that stays wire-compatible; an envelope
message would change every existing client's stream element type. The reply
payload states it too because a prefix filter can leave zero records and a
truncated fetch with nothing to report still has to say so. The flag means
"this set may be incomplete", never "this record is unreliable" — it is
independent of the subtag-fallback `degraded` field.
Detection is deliberately UNCHANGED: IsTruncatedFetch remains
`fetchedRecordCount >= maxAlarmsPerFetch`. The live probe (docs/AlarmProbeFindings.md,
ce5d8ae) could not verify whether ALARM_RECORDS/@COUNT reports the total active
count or only the records in the reply, so @COUNT is not parsed for detection;
switching to it stays blocked on probe evidence. The probe's comment
annotations in WnWrapAlarmConsumer.cs are preserved.
Reset semantics: not latched. WnWrapAlarmConsumer.FoldFetch replaces the
verdict on every poll under the same lock as the snapshot merge, so the first
sub-cap fetch clears it; GatewayAlarmMonitor.ClearCache drops it with the cache
generation it describes. A caveat that never turns off is one operators learn
to ignore.
Flow: WnWrapAlarmConsumer.LastSnapshotTruncated -> AlarmDispatcher (stamps every
record) / IAlarmCommandHandler (payload) -> MxAccessCommandExecutor reply ->
GatewayAlarmMonitor._snapshotTruncated -> IGatewayAlarmService.SnapshotTruncated
-> DashboardAlarmQueryResult -> AlarmsPage warning banner (render-side only; the
poll loop and DisposeAsync drain are untouched). The public QueryActiveAlarms
RPC forwards worker snapshots unmodified, so the per-record flag needed no
mapper change — a test pins that.
Parity: this describes OUR fetch mechanics — additive gateway metadata — not
MXAccess provider behavior. No event is synthesized and no MXAccess-observable
semantics change, so it is not a parity deviation.
Tests: worker LastSnapshotTruncated set/reset/consecutive-burst (windev-run);
gateway end-to-end truncated reply -> monitor -> public stream, with the
complete-reply control as the load-bearing assertion; AlarmsPage banner
present/absent. Docs: gateway.md alarm surface, docs/DesignDecisions.md entry.
Groundwork for the per-session dashboard event ACL (docs/plans/2026-07-10-dashboard-session-acl-tst15.md 3.2): a dashboard group can now grant visibility tags, and untagged sessions default to AdminOnly. Enforcement lands with the EventsHub ACL; nothing consumes the grant yet.
GroupToTag is deliberately uncoupled from GroupToRole - a group may appear in either map, both, or neither - and is validated for shape only. Tags gate dashboard event visibility, never data access.
ISessionManager.ReadEventsAsync had zero production call sites: the worker
event channel is drained once by GatewaySession.MapWorkerEventsAsync (the
distributor pump), and every consumer — gRPC subscribers, the dashboard
mirror, the alarm monitor — attaches to the distributor. The interface
member, SessionManager's forwarder, and GatewaySession.ReadEventsAsync are
gone; IWorkerClient/WorkerClient.ReadEventsAsync is untouched, it is the
live worker-channel claim.
No test was removed or rewired: nothing invoked the member through the
interface. Nine ISessionManager test fakes carried a required-member stub
(seven threw NotSupportedException or yielded nothing; EventStreamServiceTests
and GatewaySessionDashboardMirrorTests forwarded to the session; the two
MxAccessGatewayService fakes yielded their Events list) — all nine stubs were
deleted. The MxAccessGatewayService suites' streaming tests already run
through FakeEventStreamService, which reads the same Events list, so their
coverage is unchanged; only the now-inaccurate doc comments on Events /
LastReadEventsSessionId were reworded.
The MapWorkerEventsAsync comment no longer describes a twin to keep in step;
it now states the single-reader claim directly. docs/Sessions.md drops
ReadEventsAsync from the SessionManager member list and from the Run-state
prose. The 2026-08-15 deferred-remediation as-built note records the removal.
Decrement was decrement-first with a single non-retried repair CAS. From zero,
two unmatched decrements (SignalR calls OnDisconnectedAsync for a connection
whose OnConnectedAsync faulted) capture -1 and -2; a real Increment then makes
the count -1, and the first decrementer's stale CompareExchange(0, -1) matches
and resets to zero — erasing a live connection, so the idle gate freezes an open
dashboard. The same lost race also made Decrement report 0 when it had not
written 0.
Clamping now happens inside the compare-and-swap: read, clamp, publish, retry on
loss. A lost race re-reads the fresh value instead of repairing a stale one.
The counter moves to its own file per the one-public-type-per-file convention and
gains direct tests: the zero floor under concurrent unmatched decrements, matched
pairs settling at zero, and an interleaved connect/disconnect stress round. The
stress test asserts the observable invariants only — the specific interleaving
cannot be forced through the public API (verified: the previous implementation
passes it), which its remarks now state rather than implying a reproducer. A hub
wiring test is skipped for the EventsHub reason: driving Hub.OnConnectedAsync
needs caller-clients and connection-context fakes, and the overrides are two
lines of delegation to the tested type.
Also documents that the API-key refresh's pre-gate time check races benignly.
The snapshot publisher broadcast to Clients.All on every ~1s tick forever, with
zero viewers. Each tick cost a session-registry snapshot and sort, a metrics
snapshot that copies dictionaries under the global metrics lock, a full rebuild
of EffectiveGatewayConfiguration, and a SQLite read of the API key table.
DashboardSnapshotHub now counts live connections into the singleton
DashboardSnapshotHubConnectionCounter (clamped at zero, since SignalR can call
OnDisconnectedAsync for a connection whose OnConnectedAsync faulted). The
publisher drives the snapshot enumerator by hand instead of await foreach: with
no connections it does not call MoveNextAsync at all, so the producing iterator
stays suspended at its yield and no snapshot is built — the gate removes the
build, not just the broadcast. It re-checks once a second, so the first viewer
resumes the tick within about one interval; that viewer is seeded immediately by
DashboardPageBase's synchronous GetSnapshot() and by the hub's OnConnectedAsync.
Two per-tick costs are bounded independently of the gate: the effective
configuration is startup-static (options are bound once at boot and never
reloaded), so it is built once and cached; and the API key summaries refresh at
most every 15s, since the list only changes when an operator creates, rotates,
or revokes a key. Only a successful refresh restarts the interval, so a failed
or timed-out read is still retried on the next tick with the previous summaries
left on screen.
DashboardEventBroadcaster.Publish ran a deep protobuf Clone (redaction is on by
default) and a group SendAsync for every event of every session, before anything
checked whether a dashboard client was actually watching. In the steady state the
session:{id} group is empty, so that work was thrown away per event.
SignalR does not expose group membership, so EventsHub now mirrors its own
add/remove into a singleton EventsHubViewerRegistry, and OnDisconnectedAsync
releases everything a dropped connection held (SessionDetailsPage disposes the
connection rather than unsubscribing). Publish returns early when the session has
no viewers, before the redaction clone. Watched sessions behave exactly as before.
Lazy mirror-lease start/stop was deliberately not attempted — it entangles the
dashboard with SessionEventDistributor subscribe lifetime for no saving beyond
this gate; recorded in docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md.
RunMonitorAsync issued SubscribeAlarms and the first reconcile before the
internal distributor subscriber was attached (via ISessionManager
.ReadAlarmEventsAsync). The pump has been running since MarkReady started the
dashboard mirror and only fans to subscribers registered at fan-out time, so
every transition raised in that two-round-trip window bypassed the alarm feed —
and a missed Acknowledge was never repaired, because ApplyReconcile broadcast
presence deltas only.
- The monitor now takes the internal lease directly from its session BEFORE
SubscribeAlarms and drains it after the first reconcile; window transitions
buffer in the lease's bounded channel. Processing them after ApplyReconcile is
order-safe (ApplyTransition handles alarms the snapshot already placed).
- ISessionManager.ReadAlarmEventsAsync removed — zero remaining callers.
- ApplyReconcile broadcasts an Acknowledge feed transition when a both-present
alarm's state advanced to ActiveAcked. This is a feed-level repair on the
AlarmFeedMessage/StreamAlarms surface rebuilt from the worker's own snapshot,
not MxEvent emission, so the "never synthesize events" rule is untouched;
the reasoning is recorded on ApplyReconcile.
The alarm-monitor test fakes now hand the monitor a real Ready GatewaySession
with a dashboard mirror, which is what makes the window reproducible.

SEC-25 (near-term hardening; full per-session EventsHub ACL stays deferred to
roadmap item 12): DashboardEventBroadcaster now redacts tag values from a deep
CLONE of the event before mirroring to SignalR when Dashboard:ShowTagValues is
false (the default). Clears MxEvent.value (covers OnDataChange/OnWriteComplete/
OperationComplete/OnBufferedDataChange — their bodies are empty discriminators,
values ride in the top-level field incl. buffered arrays) and the alarm body's
current_value/limit_value. Source event never mutated (shared with the gRPC
path + replay ring) - verified by a source-not-mutated test. Makes the formerly
dead ShowTagValues flag live for the mirror. EventsHub TODO(per-session-acl)
kept and tied to roadmap item 12. Tests: DashboardEventBroadcasterTests (3).
SEC-30: trim docs/Diagnostics.md to mark opt-in command-value logging as NOT
YET IMPLEMENTED (no LogCommandValues knob, RedactCommandValue has no call
sites, no values logged); wiring deferred pending secured-bulk redaction
coverage (SEC-13). No option/call sites added.
Server build clean (0 warnings); Dashboard tests 152/152.

Restore the __Host- browser guarantees for the default secure deployment
without breaking plaintext/dev:
- DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions PostConfigure now resolves the cookie
name as: explicit MxGateway:Dashboard:CookieName override wins; else
__Host-MxGatewayDashboard when SecurePolicy==Always (RequireHttpsCookie
true); else the plain MxGatewayDashboard default. Guard: never apply the
__Host- prefix without Secure (browsers silently drop it).
- DashboardAuthenticationDefaults: add SecureCookieName const; keep the plain
CookieName as the non-secure fallback.
- Docs corrected to the actual conditional contract (five stale claims):
gateway.md, GatewayProcessDesign.md, ImplementationPlanGateway.md,
GatewayDashboardDesign.md, CLAUDE.md; GatewayConfiguration.md phrasing
tightened.
- Test: DashboardCookieOptionsTests asserts the name flips with
RequireHttpsCookie and that an explicit override wins.
Server build clean (0 warnings); Dashboard tests 149/149.

- SEC-02: DashboardAuthorizationHandler restricts the loopback and
Authentication:Mode=Disabled bypasses to read-only. They now satisfy only a
Viewer-bearing requirement (AnyDashboardRole), never AdminOnly, so anonymous
localhost can view the dashboard but cannot reach API-key CRUD or session
Close/Kill at the policy layer (previously guarded only by service re-checks).
- SEC-12: DashboardSessionAdminService emits canonical AuditEvents through
IAuditWriter (actions dashboard-close-session / dashboard-kill-worker, category
SessionAdmin) on Success/Failure/Denied, mirroring the API-key audit path so
destructive session actions leave durable, queryable rows.
- SEC-20: drop the unbounded session_id tag from the exported
mxgateway.heartbeats.failed counter (per-session detail stays in the snapshot/log).
Docs updated same-change: CLAUDE.md (read-only loopback + 5-min bearer),
GatewayDashboardDesign.md (bypass scoping + session-admin audit), Metrics.md.
Server build clean; 30/30 targeted + 295/295 Dashboard/Security/App/Metrics sweep.
SEC-07: add QueryActiveAlarmsRequest -> events:read scope arm; fix two tests that
constructed StreamAlarmsRequest instead of QueryActiveAlarmsRequest.
SEC-05: shorten hub-token lifetime 30m -> 5m; document that the ?access_token= query
carriage must never be request-logged.
SEC-08: gateway-side CachingApiKeyVerifier (short TTL, keyed on a hash of the presented
secret) skips the per-call store read+last_used write; CoalescingMarkApiKeyStore bounds
last_used writes to <=1/key/min; identity constraints are cached. Invalidation is wired
at the gateway admin sites (revoke/rotate/delete); short TTL backstops out-of-process CLI.
SEC-11: fixed-window rate limit on POST /auth/login + a per-peer (key-id) failure limiter
checked before VerifyAsync; new MxGateway:Security options bound + validated.
Also fixes regressions from the SEC-01/04/06 commit (c185f62) that a narrow test filter
missed (all now covered by a full-suite checkpoint):
- Rooting check is cross-platform: accepts Windows C:\/UNC forms on Unix so the shipped
appsettings path validates on the macOS dev box, still rejecting bare filenames.
- AddGatewayConfiguration TryAdds a non-production IHostEnvironment fallback so the validator
resolves in minimal test/tooling containers; the real host + apikey CLI register the actual
environment first (TryAdd no-op there).
- Test assembly defaults ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development (ModuleInitializer) so full-host
tests exercise wiring instead of tripping the SEC-04/06 production guards.
- GatewayOptionsTests asserts the SEC-01 CommonApplicationData-derived default (platform-correct).
archreview: SEC-07/05/08/11 (P1). Verified: NonWindows build clean; full gateway suite
747 passed / 42 failed, where all 42 are the pre-existing macOS named-pipe-harness failures
(Unix-socket path limit) and 0 are validation/regression failures.
Bump all four ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.* package refs 0.1.2 -> 0.1.4. The shared
ApiKeyVerifier now rejects any key whose ExpiresUtc is in the past;
existing keys have NULL expiry (never expire), so nothing breaks, and the
auth SQLite DB auto-migrates to schema v3 (nullable expires_utc column) on
first boot. Implement the two IApiKeyAdminStore members added in 0.1.3
(SetScopesAsync/SetEnabledAsync) on the test FakeApiKeyAdminStore.
Build green; no new test failures (the macOS worker-pipe IPC failures are
pre-existing/environmental, identical to the pre-bump baseline).
Interlocking changes across the gateway server (shared GatewaySession.cs /
SessionManager.cs), committed together:
- GWC-01 (Critical): alarm monitor now attaches as an internal
(non-counted) distributor subscriber instead of a second raw drain of the
single worker event channel; WorkerClient._events -> SingleReader with a
claimed-once guard so a future dual-consumer regression throws loudly.
- GWC-02 (High): faulted sessions are swept in CloseExpiredLeasesAsync
(IsFaultedReapable + FaultedReason); new FaultedGraceSeconds (default 0).
- GWC-03 (High): configurable MaxSparseArrayLength (default 1_000_000)
enforced before allocation.
- TST-02 (High, security): StreamEvents attach now enforces the opening key
id -> PermissionDenied on owner mismatch.
- TST-12 (Medium): CLAUDE.md retention-defaults sentence corrected.
Verified: NonWindows build clean; targeted tests 135/135 on macOS, plus
WorkerClientTests 18/18 on the Windows host.
Resolves Server-059, Tests-041, Server-060 (2026-06-25 re-review).
DashboardSnapshotService memoized the whole Galaxy summary keyed on the cache
Sequence, but the shared library bumps Sequence only on a heavy refresh: the
steady-state tick, the refresh-failure path, and the age-based status getter all
replace the entry via 'previous with { ... }' at the SAME Sequence. The dashboard
therefore froze LastQueriedAt and, during a Galaxy SQL outage, kept showing
Healthy with no error for the whole outage.
Split DashboardGalaxySummaryProjector into ComputeBreakdown (the O(N) template/
category work, the only sequence-bound part) and BuildSummary (cheap volatile
fields copied fresh). ResolveGalaxySummary now memoizes only the breakdown by
Sequence and rebuilds the summary from the current entry each tick. Removed the
redundant DashboardGalaxyProjector wrapper.
Tests: same-sequence status/error/timestamp now reflected (the regression);
memoization-hit and sequence-invalidation guards; GatewayApplicationTests asserts
the DI container resolves IGalaxyBrowseScopeProvider to GatewayBrowseScopeProvider
(pins the registration-order invariant over the library's no-op default).
Add GalaxyRepositoryHostWiringTests.BrowseChildren_BrowseSubtreesConstraintThroughHostWiring_FiltersChildren:
constructs the real GatewayRequestIdentityAccessor + GatewayBrowseScopeProvider, passes the
provider as IGalaxyBrowseScopeProvider to the lib GalaxyRepositoryGrpcService, and asserts
two children (unconstrained) then empty (BrowseSubtrees=["NonExistent"]) — proving the full
production authz-filtering chain is correctly wired.
Strengthen DashboardSnapshotServiceTests.GetSnapshot_ProjectsGalaxySummaryFromHierarchyCache:
add Assert.Equal(2, TopTemplates.Count) and Assert.Contains($Area, InstanceCount==1) so the
test guards the complete summary output, not just the $Pump entry.
Add a nullable string? OwnerKeyId property to GatewaySession that captures
the API key identifier (KeyId) of the authenticated caller that opened the
session. Wire it through ISessionManager.OpenSessionAsync → SessionManager
→ GatewaySession constructor. The gRPC service passes identityAccessor
.Current?.KeyId; internal callers (GatewayAlarmMonitor, DashboardLiveDataService)
pass null. Covers the positive and null cases with two new TDD-first tests.
Render Fallback:Mode=ForceSubtag as a cyan 'Subtag monitoring (forced)'
badge, distinct from the amber failover 'degraded' badge, so an intentional
configuration isn't shown as a fault. Distinguished by the shared
AlarmProviderReasons.ForcedSubtag reason carried on the provider-status feed.
The dashboard auth cookie name was hardcoded to the constant
DashboardAuthenticationDefaults.CookieName (MxGatewayDashboard). Browser
cookies are scoped by host+path but NOT by port, so two gateway instances
sharing a hostname would clobber each other's dashboard session under the
shared name.
Add DashboardOptions.CookieName (MxGateway:Dashboard:CookieName); null/blank
keeps the canonical default. Applied in the existing dashboard cookie
PostConfigure (runs after the inline AddCookie default, so it wins). Behaviour
is unchanged when unset. Adds a Tests case for the override.
Introduce IAuditActorAccessor seam + HttpAuditActorAccessor impl (reads ZbClaimTypes.Username
from IHttpContextAccessor; falls back to Identity.Name / ZbClaimTypes.Name; null when
unauthenticated). Register in DI via DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions.
Wire DashboardApiKeyManagementService: WriteDashboardAuditAsync now accepts the ClaimsPrincipal
user already in scope at each call site; ResolveOperatorActor extracts ZbClaimTypes.Username
(preferred) or Identity.Name. All four dashboard-* events now emit Actor = LDAP operator
username and Target = managed keyId, fixing the semantic gap where both fields held the keyId.
ConstraintEnforcer (gRPC / API-key actor) and CanonicalForwardingApiKeyAuditStore (CLI /
"system"/"cli" fallback) are unchanged.
Tests: DashboardApiKeyManagementServiceTests updated — CreateAuthorizedUser adds ZbClaimTypes.Username
("alice"), all dashboard-* audit assertions updated to Actor = "alice" / Target = "operator01";
new CreateAsync_AuthorizedUser_CanonicalAuditEventHasOperatorAsActorAndKeyIdAsTarget verifies the
canonical AuditEvent directly. New HttpAuditActorAccessorTests (4 cases: username claim, Identity.Name
fallback, unauthenticated → null, no context → null). ConstraintEnforcer tests still assert API-key/anonymous actor.
Standardize the dashboard role VALUE on the canonical six: Admin→Administrator
(Viewer unchanged). Pure value rename via DashboardRoles.Admin constant +
appsettings GroupToRole; the GatewayOptionsValidator allowed-set/message track
the constant so they now require 'Administrator' or 'Viewer'. Enforcement is
unchanged — Administrator authorizes exactly what Admin did.
Dashboard roles are derived at login from LDAP groups via GroupToRole and are
never persisted to the SQLite auth store, so no DB migration/seed change.
UNTOUCHED: the separate gRPC API-key scope GatewayScopes.Admin = "admin"
(lowercase) and every "admin" scope literal — a distinct data-plane system.
- DashboardAuthenticator.CreatePrincipal: emit ZbClaimTypes.Username ("zb:username") with
the login username, ZbClaimTypes.DisplayName ("zb:displayname") with the display name,
ZbClaimTypes.Name (== ClaimTypes.Name) for Identity.Name resolution, ZbClaimTypes.Role
(== ClaimTypes.Role) for IsInRole/[Authorize]. Keep ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier for back-compat
read-sites; keep mxgateway:ldap_group unchanged (MxGateway-specific, no ZbClaimType for groups).
ClaimsIdentity built with nameType=ZbClaimTypes.Name, roleType=ZbClaimTypes.Role.
- DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions.AddGatewayDashboard: route cookie hardening through
ZbCookieDefaults.Apply(requireHttps:true, idleTimeout:8h); set cookie name/path/redirects
after Apply; PostConfigure still overrides SecurePolicy per RequireHttpsCookie setting.
- DashboardAuthenticatorTests: add AuthenticateAsync_Success_EmitsCanonicalZbClaims asserting
zb:username, zb:displayname, ZbClaimTypes.Role per role, Identity.Name, and ldap_group preserved.
