Let a host marked for the relay actually be reached through it
The relay checkbox said it was not wired up, and the plan said the server half was built and shipped. It was not: there was ADR 0004, the contract records, RelayOptions and a CHECK constraint, and RelayOptions said in its own remarks that there was no endpoint and no dialler. So both halves are built here, as step 3 of docs/reaching-a-host-you-cannot-dial.md. Server, in Features/Relay: - POST /api/v1/relay/tickets makes every decision: the host, Connect on its vault, the relay switched on, and the stored name resolved once and judged by RelayAddressPolicy. Loopback, link-local, 0.0.0.0/8, multicast and the metadata endpoints are refused with no configuration escape, with IPv4-mapped and NAT64 spellings unwrapped first; then the operator's denials, allow-list and private-network switch. What passes goes into a Data Protection ticket, and nothing resolves the name again. Every target refusal is the same 403, so the endpoint cannot be used to map the operator's DNS; the real reason is logged. - GET /api/v1/relay/connect takes the ticket as a second subprotocol, checks its expiry against TimeProvider and spends it with a unique insert into relay_ticket_use before accepting the upgrade. After the upgrade a refusal is a close code: 4502 for a host the server could not reach, 4429 for a limit, 4408 idle, 4409 lifetime, 1001 after a drain. - relay_session is the audit row, written from short-lived scopes. Client: - RelayBridge is a loopback SOCKS5 listener that accepts once and pipes to the relay socket. It rides on the new SshLoopbackProxy.Lifetime, so the connection disposes it on every way a session ends and a failed connect disposes it before throwing. - ServerRelay, exposed as IVaultServer.Relay from /api/v1/meta, asks for the ticket, opens the socket, starts the bridge and turns every refusal into a sentence. - VaultViewModel and TransfersViewModel reach a relayed host through it, never fall back to dialling it directly, and replace SSH.NET's transport error with the relay's own reason when it gave one. Neither side ever cancels a WebSocket operation. Cancelling one aborts the socket, and an aborted socket sends no close frame, which is the only way the client learns the server could not reach the host. AnIdleSession_IsClosedWithTheIdleCode asserts that the code arrives. Three departures from ADR 0004, recorded in it: awaited copy loops rather than Pipelines (same backpressure, two 32 KiB buffers), no ?ticket= fallback, and no device id in the ticket. Tests: API 245, shell 582 (5 skipped), layout 170, SSH 110 including a real login through the bridge, API client 30, contracts 25. Not run: the Android build (its change is copy only) and the Alpine layout oracle. |

Say when a vault has moved, so nobody waits out the minute
The delta pull was cheap enough to run on a timer and the client did, once a minute. That is fine for a machine and wrong for two people: an edit a colleague makes is up to a minute stale, which is long enough for both of them to make it and produce a conflict neither needed to have. Shortening the interval is the obvious answer and the wrong one — it costs a request per client per interval whether or not anything happened, and it converges on a busier server that is still late. So the server now says so. A client holds a WebSocket open at GET /api/v1/events, subprotocol dodossh.events.v1, and gets a line down it when something it can read has changed. ADR 0012 has the reasoning; three parts of it are worth repeating here, because they are what everything else rests on. **What crosses the socket is a notice, never data.** A frame names a vault and how far its change log has got. No item, no ciphertext, not even which item it was. The client's answer is the delta pull it would have run anyway, so there is still exactly one code path that applies a change to a keychain, and it is not this one. Pushing the items themselves would save a round trip and fork that path in two, with the cursor, the merge and the tombstone rules duplicated across both — ADR 0003 put every mutation through one write path for that reason, and this keeps every read on one for the same one. It also makes a dropped notice harmless, which is what lets the fan-out below be as simple as it is. **Polling stays, and is what guarantees a pass.** The minute timer is unchanged. A network that eats WebSockets, a server with Events:Enabled off, an older server, a proxy that will not upgrade, a notice dropped under backpressure — every one of those leaves a client behaving exactly as it did before this commit. Nothing is reachable only over the socket and nothing is meant to become so; VaultViewModel's AutoSyncInterval remark now says that where somebody changing it will read it. **The bearer token authorises the upgrade, unlike the relay's ticket.** Not an inconsistency with ADR 0004: the relay's socket is a byte pipe whose whole authorization decision — which host, which IPs, which port — is made before it opens and never revisited, and it is the extraction seam for a process that must hold no ACL code. This one is a view of the caller's own vault list and has to keep answering "what may this account read" for as long as it is held. A ticket would carry that answer in a token and be wrong the moment the account's access changed. The two bounds that arrangement needs are met rather than waved at: the socket is closed at the token's exp with close code 4401 and the client comes straight back with a fresh one, and the vault set is re-resolved every few minutes as well as on the changes known to affect it. Both bound *metadata*, because a notice contains nothing else and reading a vault still needs a key this server has never held. **The fan-out.** VaultEventHub is a singleton holding the sockets this node accepted; publishing walks them and asks each whether it cares, rather than keeping a vault-to-subscriber index that every re-subscription would have to move entries between under a lock publishing also takes. At a few hundred sockets per node and an event rate bounded by how often people edit keychains, the walk is not measurable and its races are obvious. Per-connection queues are bounded and drop the *oldest*: a notice means "pull vault X, which is at least at sequence N", so the newest subsumes what it displaces and the client's answer is identical either way — which is what lets the publish path be void, never block, and never fail. Announced from the endpoint rather than from SyncService, and that placement is the point: by then the push has committed and released the per-vault advisory lock. From inside it would name a sequence no reader can see yet and would hold the lock that serialises writers across a socket write. Only the highest *applied* sequence, so a batch of pure conflicts announces nothing, and a duplicate — already announced when it first landed — announces nothing either. Grants and membership publish too, and those take the *recipient* rather than the actor. This is what AdmitNewVaultsAsync has been apologising for since sharing shipped — "the recipient is handed nothing, there is no push channel" — and the README with it. A vault shared with somebody now turns up as it is shared. The comment and the README paragraph both say what is true now, and both keep saying that the pass is what *discovers* the vault, because a client with no socket has to arrive at the same place. **On the client**, VaultEventStream is really a reconnection policy wrapped round a ClientWebSocket: a dropped socket is the ordinary case here — laptops sleep, proxies time out, tokens expire, servers are redeployed — so nothing in it treats a failure as exceptional, and every path ends in "wait, then dial again". A connection that lived long enough to say hello resets the backoff, so a laptop that woke, worked, and lost its network an hour later does not inherit a minute-long wait it has already proved it need not take. A 4401 close skips the backoff entirely and asks the token provider again, which is the whole reason that close code is distinct. A server that does not advertise the events feature gets IdleVaultEventStream, which never delivers — so IVaultServer.Events is never null and every caller stays on one shape, because the correct behaviour without a socket is the behaviour with a silent one. The shell's background loop now selects between the timer and a notice, and both waits are held across iterations. That is load-bearing rather than tidy: PeriodicTimer permits one outstanding WaitForNextTickAsync and throws on a second, and an abandoned channel read stays registered and consumes the next notice written. Either defect leaves the first notice working and every one after it silently lost, which is why NoticesKeepWakingTheLoop_NotJustTheFirst pushes three and not one. Notices are coalesced over a quarter of a second, so one person's save — a host and its log entry are two items — and a colleague clearing a folder each cost one pass rather than a dozen. **The kind is a string, not an enum**, and that is a compatibility decision. UseStringEnumConverter throws on a value it does not know, so a newer server sending a kind an older client had never heard of would not add an unreadable frame — it would break that client's socket outright. A string is ignored instead. ProblemCodes is the same shape for the same reason. **Tested on both sides, through the real pipeline.** The endpoint suite opens a genuine socket against TestServer and proves a push produces a notice, that another account's push does not reach it, that a ping is answered, and that a frame this server cannot parse does not end the connection. Two of those assert on *ordering* rather than on absence within a timeout — the stranger's write goes first, so a socket that leaked would have announced it before the one the test waits for — because "nothing arrived in two seconds" is a test that passes on a slow machine for the wrong reason. And ANoticeCarriesNoCiphertext asserts on the bytes that crossed the wire rather than on the record's fields, since the latter would only prove that this type has no payload member, which is a tautology; the former is what catches a field added later without anybody thinking about disclosure. The client suite drives VaultEventStream through an injected connector, because the one thing a test cannot do to a real network is make it fail on cue — and failure is the entire subject. The shell suite proves a notice produces a pull inside ten seconds against a sixty-second timer, so the timer cannot be what caused it. **Two limits, stated rather than left to be discovered.** Fan-out is in-process, so a deployment running more than one API replica only pushes for writes its own replica handled and the rest arrive on the timer. IVaultEventPublisher is the seam a PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY backplane implements and it is deliberately not implemented: an untested backplane is worse than a documented gap, and multiple replicas degrade to the behaviour before this commit rather than breaking. And a client is notified of its own writes; it pushed, so it already pulled, and the extra pass finds nothing. Suppressing that echo correctly needs a per-device identity on the socket, and the same user's other machines must still be told. Manual checks phase 15 covers what no test here can reach, which is the network in between: a proxy that will not upgrade, one that drops an idle socket without telling either end, a laptop lid, a token expiring. Every one of those is invisible inside a test host, and every check there passes only if the change arrives quickly *and* still arrives with the socket taken away. ADR 0012 also fixes one thing about the shared terminal session this is the transport for, so it need not be renegotiated later: session data will be binary frames on this same socket, because base64 in a JSON envelope is the wrong shape for the one payload here that is continuous rather than occasional. Two questions it explicitly does not answer by implication — whether those bytes go through the API at all, and what end-to-end encryption means when the second party watches a stream rather than holding a key — are ADR 0001 questions and get their own decision. 1512 tests pass. DodoSSH.SystemTests was not run — it needs the whole compose stack — so the end-to-end path is unverified for this change beyond what the manual checks describe. |

Move the API onto FastEndpoints, without moving the wire
Eight endpoints today, around sixty planned. The minimal-API shape — a static
class per area holding static local functions, route and policy and name
asserted in one fluent chain with the handler somewhere below it — has not hurt
yet, and would. A handler's dependencies are parameters rather than injected, a
group's RequireAuthorization sits far from the handler it governs, and there is
no type to hang an endpoint's own documentation on. FastEndpoints is one class
per endpoint, its route and authorization in Configure(), its handler a method
on the same type.
Nothing about the wire moves, and the evidence is that the 94 existing HTTP
tests pass with zero edits to any of them. Same routes, verbs, route
constraints, status codes, operation ids, and the same RFC 9457 bodies with the
same code values. Every place the idiomatic FastEndpoints answer would have
changed one of those, it was refused:
Endpoints are registered from an explicit List<Type>, not found by scanning.
ADR 0002 rejected reflection discovery by name, and the reason it gave is
sharper here than in general — under WebApplicationFactory the scan reaches the
test assembly, so an endpoint written in a test would be registered into the
host under test. The cost is a line per endpoint that can be forgotten, which is
what the endpoint-inventory test is for. That test is the one ADR 0002 promised
and never got.
Handlers still return Results<Ok<T>, NotFound, ProblemHttpResult> from
ExecuteAsync. The union executes as an ordinary IResult, which is what keeps
problem bodies going through the host's serialiser and IProblemDetailsService,
and what keeps the compile-time record of which statuses an endpoint can
produce. No Send.* call appears anywhere; the moment one does, a response has
left the host's serialiser.
Validation stays in the feature services. A Validator<T> short-circuits before
the handler and answers with FastEndpoints' own envelope, which carries no code
— and the code is the only part of an error the client branches on. Twenty-odd
tests assert a specific code on a 400. It is banned in BannedSymbols.txt rather
than merely avoided, because the framework's documentation leads straight to it
and it looks like an improvement.
Three defects arrived with the framework and were caught in review. All three
were green at the time, which is the part worth remembering. FastEndpoints maps
GET /_test_url_cache_ unconditionally, in every environment, with no policy and
no way to opt out; it answers with the whole endpoint-name-to-route table. It is
short-circuited to 404 — by asking routing which endpoint it selected, after the
first attempt compared the request path with Ordinal and was therefore bypassable
at /_TEST_URL_CACHE_, certified by a test that only ever tried one spelling. The
default request binder writes query-string values over the deserialised body,
which would have let ?identityProviderToken=... put an ID token in a URL and from
there into every proxy log on the path; every endpoint now binds from the body
alone. And a route value read with Route<T>() is invisible to ApiExplorer, so the
generated document named {vaultId} in a path template with nothing declaring it —
invalid OpenAPI, and unusable by the client generators the document exists for.
Two changes to the surface, both deliberate. A body that cannot be deserialised
now answers with a problem document carrying malformed-request, rather than an
empty 400: FastEndpoints' default announces application/problem+json while
sending something else, and names the failing .NET type on the wire, in a
codebase that sets IncludeErrorDetails = false to prevent exactly that. And the
route table above returns 404 where it would otherwise have answered any
authenticated caller.
Each of the three fixes has a regression test that was checked by reverting the
fix and watching it fail — four failures for the route table and the binder, four
for the document. That check is the whole reason to trust them, since all three
defects passed a full green suite on the way in.
950 tests green across 16 projects, 14 of them new and no existing test edited.
Zero warnings, format clean, locked restore clean. FluentValidation, JobQueues
and Messaging are in the graph now and none is used.
Not verified: the generated document's response schemas, which differ from
before — FastEndpoints contributes its own Produces metadata. Nothing consumes
the document yet, and MapOpenApi runs only in Development behind the fallback
policy. It needs pinning if ADR 0002's build-time artifacts/openapi/v1.json is
ever built.

Add configuration, OIDC auth wiring and discovery endpoints (M1)
Options, JWT bearer validation, the /meta and .well-known endpoints, and a dev compose stack with Keycloak. Verified end to end: compose up, migrate, run, both discovery endpoints return correct payloads, and readiness reports the schema current. Configuration: - Strongly-typed options for Server, Oidc, Relay and Sync, all ValidateOnStart. A self-hosted server that boots half-configured and fails later per-request is far harder to diagnose than one that refuses to start and names the bad setting. - Cross-field validation the annotations cannot express: relay needs a WebSocketUrl when enabled, idle timeout must be under max session duration, item payload cap under batch cap. - Startup warnings for combinations that are individually valid but dangerous together: RequireHttpsMetadata false outside Development, and AllowEmailLinking (which turns any token bearing a victim's email into account takeover, hence default false). Auth: - JwtBearer with ClockSkew cut to 30s from the 5-minute default; five minutes of slack on a credential granting vault ciphertext access is more than any clock needs. - IncludeErrorDetails off, and a FallbackPolicy so an endpoint without an explicit policy still requires a caller rather than silently being public. Discovery, per ADR 0002: - /api/v1/meta reports versions, features and push caps. - /.well-known/dodossh-configuration is the onboarding story: the user types one server URL and the client discovers OIDC authority, client id, scopes and relay endpoint. Two environment problems found by actually running the stack: - PostgreSQL 18 changed its data mount point. Mounting /var/lib/postgresql/data — correct through 17 — makes the image refuse to start; 18+ wants a single mount at /var/lib/postgresql with the cluster in a subdirectory. - Keycloak moved to host port 18080. An unrelated Apache Tomcat on this machine holds 127.0.0.1:8080, and a loopback-specific bind beats Docker's 0.0.0.0 publish for "localhost". It presents as Keycloak 404ing every realm while its own log says the import succeeded, which is a genuinely misleading failure. Also: CA1848 is enforced, not advisory — warnings are errors, so the .editorconfig comment claiming otherwise was wrong. Startup and health logging now uses [LoggerMessage]. And a clean rebuild is back to zero warnings; the incremental build had been hiding 40 in test projects (banned Guid.NewGuid, an obsolete Testcontainers constructor, and two analyzer families that are genuinely noise under a test host). Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 122 tests pass, format clean. |
