jaap-jan	0331ce8f33	Commit Rider's VCS directory mapping ... The one file left untracked in the working tree, and it belongs in the repo rather than in .gitignore: the ignore rules here already follow JetBrains' own pattern, which excludes per-user state — workspace.xml, tasks.xml, dataSources, shelf — and keeps shareable project configuration. vcs.xml is the latter. All it says is that the project root is a Git checkout, which is true for everyone who clones it, and having it present stops Rider prompting each new checkout to add the mapping by hand.	2026-07-29 15:34:46 +02:00
jaap-jan	c4dbd85da0	Add the client's SSH key model, codec, merge and cipher ... The client can now seal and open an SSH key item. Nothing consumes it yet — the repository, the sync engine's per-type handling and the UI come next — but this is the layer everything above it depends on, and it is the layer where the crypto has to be right. SshKeySecret holds the private key as an ordinary string, deliberately, and says so: a .NET string cannot be wiped, so the material lives until the GC reuses the memory. libsodium's guarded memory was considered and rejected because the passphrase protecting the key, the password on the next item and the JSON the codec just parsed are all strings on the same heap — protecting one field among them reads as security and buys nothing. What the design does give is that the key never reaches the disk in plaintext, never reaches the server at all, and is handed to SSH.NET through a MemoryStream so there is no temporary key file to leak. Validation refuses a public key by name. ssh-keygen writes two files whose names differ by four characters, and pasting the wrong one otherwise produces a vault item that looks fine and fails at connection time with an authentication error that says nothing about which file you chose. The merge redacts the private key and its passphrase from the conflict log. A host conflict shows both values so the loser can be put back; doing that for a private key would write the discarded key into a log that is designed to be read rather than used and is deliberately retained after acknowledgement. Two different private keys are not something anyone reconciles by reading them side by side. And the lesson worth recording, because it nearly shipped: the first version of AadResourceTypeTests proved nothing. It checked that a key payload does not open as a host and vice versa — true however both ciphers are misconfigured, because Seal and TryOpen share one constant, so changing it changes both and the round trip still works. Sealing every private key as if it were a vault passed all twelve tests. The tests now open a sealed payload independently through ItemKeys with the resource type named out of band, and that does fail under the same sabotage. A test that only compares an implementation against itself cannot catch a self-consistent mistake. The trap it defends: SyncEntityType.SshKey is 3, AadResourceType.SshKey is 6, because the crypto enum also carries None, User, Device and Vault ahead of the item types. A cast between them is a specification violation that encrypts cleanly and would only surface when another implementation refused the item.	2026-07-29 15:33:28 +02:00
jaap-jan	d459dac600	Stop a dead WebView2 hanging Connect with the busy flag stuck ... VaultViewModel.ConnectAsync awaited TerminalWorkspace.WaitForRendererAsync with no timeout and no token, and RunAsync clears IsBusy only after the work returns. Whether the renderer attaches at all depends on a runtime this application does not install: with a missing or policy-blocked Evergreen runtime, or an AppContainer that cannot reach loopback, the socket never arrives — so Connect never returned, the window stayed disabled on "Connecting…" for the rest of the session, and nothing on screen said why. Left out of 0500e43 to keep that change focused, and recorded in docs/platform-flags.md as worth fixing on its own merits. The gate itself is unchanged and has to stay: TerminalDataPlane.SendAsync drops frames when no renderer is attached rather than queueing them, so a session opened before the renderer arrives loses its SessionOpened frame and then streams output at a terminal that was never created. Only the wait changed — RendererAttached.WaitAsync(timeout, cancellationToken), with the command's own token threaded through. Fifteen seconds, on TerminalWorkspaceOptions.RendererTimeout. Attaching is normally near-instant, since WebView2 starts with the window and the page has usually attached while the passphrase was still being typed, but a first run on a cold profile creates a user-data directory and starts a process tree of some thirty-five processes first, which on a loaded machine is seconds rather than milliseconds. A renderer that will never attach will not attach however long the wait is, so being generous costs only how long a broken runtime takes to say so, while being tight costs telling someone their runtime is broken when it was merely slow. Injectable because both new tests would otherwise sit out that budget. The timeout is caught in VaultViewModel rather than left to RunAsync's generic handler, because TimeoutException.Message is "The operation has timed out" — which sends someone looking at their network or their host. The status now names the WebView2 runtime and says to install it. TerminalWorkspaceTests covers the half that was missing: the wait gives up (329 ms against a 250 ms budget) and obeys its token (2 ms against a five-minute one). Before the bound, the first of those would have hung rather than failed. ShellFlowTests never starts its workspace, which from the view model's side is indistinguishable from a WebView2 that failed to initialise, so it asserts that the status names WebView2 and that IsBusy is cleared; changing the catch to another exception type makes it fail with "The operation has timed out.", so neither assertion is vacuous. The success path is untouched and still covered end to end by TerminalEndToEndTests against a real sshd container, which now passes the test's cancellation token. One byproduct: the doc comment on WaitForRendererAsync carried two double-encoded em dashes, fixed now that the block is rewritten.	2026-07-29 15:26:53 +02:00
jaap-jan	e93acc856f	Sync SSH keys as a vault item type, over a shared write path ... The private key now lives in the vault as ciphertext, syncs between a user's machines, and is stored on the server so it can later be shared — sharing itself needs M3's signed grants; this is the storage that makes it possible. More was already reserved than expected: SyncEntityType.SshKey, CryptoSpec.AadResourceType.SshKey, ChangeEntityType.SshKey, SyncPlaintextFields.PublicKeyFingerprint, and SshPrivateKeyCredential wired through PrivateKeyFile over a MemoryStream so a key never touches disk. The frozen contract and crypto spec needed no change at all. What was missing was the server. Rather than copy the push path per item type — version check, change-log append, exactly-once receipt, advisory lock — it is now written once over IVaultItem, with everything type-specific behind IItemKind: which table, which plaintext columns, and what those columns must satisfy. Ten copies of that logic by M5, with a fix applied to nine, is the outcome this avoids. The refactor landed first with no behaviour change, so all 66 existing Host tests were the regression net, and they stayed green. An interface rather than a base class, deliberately: EF Core maps an inheritance hierarchy when it can see one, so a mapped base would quietly become a table-per-hierarchy discriminator across item types — the very arrangement per-type tables exist to avoid. ssh_key mirrors host and pointedly has no relay trio. That is the argument for separate tables rather than one wide item table: the columns a host needs are columns a key must never have, and a shared table could only make them nullable and trust the code. A key carrying a relay target is refused with a reason rather than silently dropped. A key hydrates PlaintextFields as null, not an empty instance — the difference is visible on the wire, because an all-defaults instance still serialises "relayEnabled": false and invites a reader to believe the setting exists and is off. It has none. Two things now defended by tests rather than by comments. Each kind states its own ChangeEntityType instead of casting: the two enums agree numerically but do not even share member names (Host against SshHost), and filing key changes under the host type is silent sync corruption — sabotaging it fails three tests. And EntityTypeAlignmentTests asserts the two enums stay aligned in both directions and in count, which nothing did before. The client half is next: SshKeySecret, its codec and merge, the cipher, a repository, and the UI. Note for that work — SyncEntityType.SshKey is 3 while AadResourceType.SshKey is 6, so a cast between them would seal key ciphertext as a vault and nothing would fail.	2026-07-29 15:14:06 +02:00
jaap-jan	c6fc19bbbd	Sync the vault automatically instead of only on a button press ... Three triggers: once when the vault opens, straight after any local change, and every minute while it stays open. The Sync button stays, because someone just handed a credential wants to know now rather than within the minute, but nothing depends on it being pressed any more. A background pass is deliberately not the button's code path. Routing it through RunAsync would raise the busy flag every minute — disabling Connect and Save for the duration — and repaint the status line over whatever the user was reading. So it is quiet: the status changes only when a pass actually moved an item or produced something needing attention, and a pass is skipped outright while a command is running rather than queueing behind it. Both guards are covered; removing either fails a test. A shared semaphore serialises every pass, taken with a zero timeout rather than awaited — a pass arriving while another runs has nothing to add by waiting, and queueing them would turn a slow server into a backlog of identical work. Failures are swallowed, which is right in exactly this one place: a laptop closed all afternoon would otherwise replace the status line with a socket error once a minute. It is quiet rather than hidden — the account bar already shows when there is no connection, and pressing Sync reports the real reason. What earns that is the outbox: a test proves a change left queued by a failed pass is still sent by the next sync, so quiet never means lost. Two existing tests asserted the opposite behaviour — that a save queued and pushed nothing until Sync was pressed — and were rewritten rather than deleted; the local-first guarantee they were really protecting is that the list updates with no server, which the offline test still covers. Two things the tests caught in my own work. ReloadAsync had to be split out of LoadAsync because rebuilding the list repainted the status line unconditionally, which made "the background pass is quiet" false on the one path that mattered. And the yields-to-a-command test was vacuous as first written: saving pushes, so there was no pending change left and the assertion held with the guard deleted. It now fails the automatic push first to arrange a real queue.	2026-07-29 14:53:19 +02:00
jaap-jan	5a899afd78	Decide what Lock does to a running shell, and say it ... Pressing Lock nulled and disposed the vault view model and touched nothing else. TerminalWorkspace is injected from App.axaml.cs and outlives every lock, so the SSH connection, the pty and the pump all kept running while the window said "Unlock your vault" — and since 0500e43 collapsed the WebView while locked, that live session was invisible as well as unstopped. CloseSessionAsync was reachable in production only from DisposeAsync, i.e. shutdown. None of this was written down anywhere, so it was neither a policy nor a bug, which is the actual problem. Shells now deliberately outlive the lock, and every layer says so. The reason to prefer this over making Lock a disconnect: locking is what a person does when they walk away from the machine, which is exactly when a long upgrade, build or transfer is most likely to be in flight. Ending every shell would make Lock a button that destroys work, and the predictable response is to stop pressing it and leave the vault open instead. The idle auto-lock this will grow decides it outright — an unattended timeout that killed a running job would be worse than the exposure it removes. Closing the channel also buys less than it looks: the session was authorised at connect time by a credential the remote verified itself, and no vault key participates in keeping it alive, so locking cannot retroactively un-authorise it any more than removing a member can. Stated honestly rather than implied, because the lock screen is what hides it: - The unlock screen shows how many shells are still connected, and that locking closes the vault and not the connections — so a machine still holding authenticated SSH channels does not present itself as merely "locked". Shown only when there is something to disclose. Quitting is what ends them, and the text admits that. - The Lock button carries the same thing in a tooltip, since its name implies the opposite of what it does to a shell. - README lists it as a third architecture consequence beside non-retroactive revocation, which is the same shape of honest limit; docs/crypto.md §10 records it as a threat-model boundary; TerminalWorkspace and LockAsync carry the argument next to the code. LiveSessionCount deliberately does not count dictionary entries. Nothing removes a session when the remote closes the channel by itself — RunSessionAsync only drops the renderer registration — so sessions.Count would report a shell that exited half an hour ago as still running, on the one screen where a user is deciding whether it is safe to walk away. A completed Run task is what "the shell is gone" actually looks like. While locked the number can only fall, since opening a session needs the vault, so a stale value over-reports rather than under-reports. Both new tests fail when the policy is reverted: the count test times out against sessions.Count, and the shell test reports "workspace.LiveSessionCount should be 1 but was 0" when Lock closes sessions. ShellFlowTests also stops building its workspace with a real SshNetConnectionFactory that nothing ever called, which had made the suite's independence from the network a coincidence rather than a property. Verified by hand with a live shell, which nothing had done: a harness mirroring MainWindow.axaml's 340,* grid with a real NativeWebView, the shipped WebAssets, a real sshd in a container, and an ISshShellSession decorator recording every window-change the remote is actually told about. Across lock and unlock, no window-change reached the remote at all, stty size answered 50 118 before and after, the renderer's own buffer came back byte for byte with the wrapped line intact, and the session stayed live throughout. A control run that never hides the WebView behaves identically, so nothing above is startup or idle behaviour. Keystrokes injected while locked reach nothing: twelve of twelve SendInput events accepted with the harness confirmed as the foreground window, no probe character in the remote's output, and a following Ctrl-U answered BEL, so nothing was queued in the line editor either. A hidden WS_CHILD window is not eligible for keyboard focus, which is what makes surviving the lock defensible rather than merely convenient. Correction to a claim made in f80b3d4: terminal.js's guard comment listed "a host that hides the WebView while the vault is locked" among the paths that reach a degenerate fit. It does not. Collapsing the control hides a native child window without resizing it, so the page still reports paneWidth 840 and paneHeight 760 with unchanged cols and rows, no ResizeObserver callback fires and the fit never runs. Establishing that rather than assuming it: the same cycle with MINIMUM_FITTABLE_PIXELS patched to 0 — the guard fully disabled — is equally clean. The guard is still right for minimising and for a splitter dragged to the edge; it is simply not what makes locking safe, and must not be cited as though it were. Recorded, not fixed: - Nothing closes one terminal from the interface, so a user reading "1 shell is still connected" can only act on it by quitting. CloseSessionAsync is tested and correct; VaultViewModel discards the session id it would need. - A session whose remote exits keeps its ISshConnection, and the thread ShellStream parks, until the process ends. - Suspected and seen once: before the harness waited for the window's scale to settle, a DPI settle pushed a 2202x1328 pane for a window 1180 logical units wide and a later re-push reflowed the wrapped line. Three later runs at RenderScaling 1.00 never showed it, so it is filed as a lead, not a finding. - WebView2 fails to initialise with CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE when the host executable sits under a very long path. Cost an hour on the harness; relevant to packaging.	2026-07-29 14:44:02 +02:00
jaap-jan	dbddbcd711	Hand the terminal the keyboard on connect, and take it back on lock ... After a successful connect the first keystrokes went to the shell's UI rather than the remote shell. The page's own term.focus() focuses the textarea inside the document, which does nothing while the window's keyboard focus is still on the Connect button, so the terminal had to be clicked before it would accept anything. The obvious guess about the fix — that reaching a native child window needs SetFocus through P/Invoke — is backwards, and measuring it first is what kept this small. NativeWebView overrides Focusable to true and its OnGotFocus calls the adapter's Focus(), which on Windows is ICoreWebView2Controller::MoveFocus(PROGRAMMATIC). So a plain Avalonia Terminal.Focus() really does move Win32 focus into WebView2. Measured in a standalone harness with no DodoSSH code, on the same 340,* grid as the shell, reporting GetFocus() and the page's own document.hasFocus() at each step: focus lands on the Chrome_WidgetWin_1 child and the page reports hasFocus: true. It is the return trip the package does not implement. OnLostFocus calls the adapter's ResignFocus(), and on Windows that method body is empty, so Avalonia's focus and Win32's diverge: after textBox.Focus() the focused element is the text box while the keyboard is still on WebView2 — a caret that silently receives nothing. Window.Activate() and Window.Focus() were both measured and neither recovers it, so the hand-back is a SetFocus on the top-level, in Views/NativeKeyboardFocus.cs. A real mouse click does recover it, because Avalonia's window sets focus on pointer input, which is why this is invisible to anyone who clicks before typing. That turned up a worse defect than the one being fixed, and it shipped in 0500e43. Collapsing the WebView does not release the keyboard: focus stays on the hidden holder — measured held by a window reporting visible=False — while Avalonia's focused element becomes (none). So a user who had clicked the terminal and then pressed Lock got an unlock screen that swallowed the passphrase. Locking now hands the keyboard back and focuses that box. Ctrl+Shift+F6 is the way out for someone using only a keyboard. It has to be handled in terminal.js and posted to the host as a web message, because once the child window owns Win32 focus Avalonia receives no key events and no KeyBinding could fire; the package also subscribes MoveFocusRequested and discards it, so there is no Tab-out to lean on. Not Escape, which vim alone rules out, and not a bare F6, which TUIs bind — Ctrl+Shift is the range terminal emulators conventionally keep for themselves and never forward to the remote. Verified rather than assumed: the posted string arrives verbatim in Body, and the chord reaches the page as F6 with both modifiers. Order matters and is now recorded. Focus() on a collapsed control is a measured no-op and is not replayed when it is revealed, so focus survives a lock/unlock cycle only because a session can be opened solely from an unlocked vault, which is what reveals the control in the first place. The view models still reference no view. VaultViewModel raises SessionOpened on the success path only, the shell forwards it as TerminalSessionOpened through the generated OnVaultChanged hook so unlock, lock and dispose all attach and detach in one place, and the view holds the whole focus policy. An event rather than a bound flag because connecting a second host while one is open has to move focus again, and no state change describes that. Three tests, and what they do not cover is the point. They cover the plumbing: focus is asked for once per session, a failed connect does not ask at all — a host-key prompt needs the keyboard on its own buttons — and locking stops the forwarding. They cannot cover the focus call, because headless Avalonia has no native window, so a headless test would focus correctly and confirm the wrong belief; that is measured in the harness and written down in docs instead. Dropping the forwarding fails two of them and dropping the detach fails one; deleting the raise outright does not compile, since the event would be unused. Reaching the connect path at all needed two new fakes. FakeRenderer attaches the way the real page does — fetch the served page, read back the token and socket URL the host substituted into it, then open the socket with both subprotocols — rather than being handed the token, so the part of the handshake that has been got wrong before stays under test. FakeSsh replaces a factory that would need a reachable sshd, which DodoSSH.Client.Ssh.Tests already covers against a container. The suite also never called workspace.Start(), so nothing served the page and no renderer could have attached. DllImport rather than the source-generated LibraryImport, which requires AllowUnsafeBlocks for the whole project. The signature is blittable so there is no marshalling stub to improve on, and turning unsafe code on across a client that handles key material to gain nothing is a poor trade. Correcting an earlier entry: docs/platform-flags.md described this as a focus-plumbing gap and offered "click inside the terminal first" as the workaround. Both true, and both stop short of the half that matters — focus crosses into the WebView readily and never comes back on its own, which is the same mechanism as the text boxes that mysteriously stopped accepting keystrokes in the airspace entry above it, not a separate fault.	2026-07-29 14:31:09 +02:00
jaap-jan	ea271d980a	Give the realm's users their roles, and sign in as one in the E2E suite ... Signing in failed at the token exchange with `400 Offline tokens not allowed for the user or client`. A user declared in a realm import gets no role mappings at all unless realmRoles lists them — not even the realm's own default-roles composite, which Keycloak grants automatically to a user created through the admin API or the registration form. alice and bob had none, and offline_access lives inside that composite, which the desktop client requests. Verified against the running Keycloak: alice's role-mappings were {} before and resolve to default-roles-dodossh, offline_access, uma_authorization after. The authorization request succeeds and the failure lands one step later, at the code redemption, which makes it read like a client bug. It is not. The E2E suite could not catch this because it created its own account through the admin API — exercising a provisioning path no real user takes, and passing while the account the README tells you to use could not sign in at all. It now signs in as the realm's own alice, which is sound because the Keycloak and PostgreSQL containers are per-run so the account is pristine, and this assembly holds one test. Removing the roles again fails it with exactly the reported message; that is what makes the coverage real rather than nominal. Two traps recorded in docs/platform-flags.md, the second found by shipping it for a moment: Keycloak's RealmRepresentation deserialises with FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES enabled, so the "_comment" key I first used to explain the roles inside the JSON did not get ignored — the import threw and the container refused to start. Explanations go in the docs, not in the realm file.	2026-07-29 14:11:16 +02:00
jaap-jan	f80b3d4351	Harden the WebView collapse, and replace its evidence with a measurement ... An adversarial review of 0500e43 did not refute the fix but closed the gap I had left open and found three hazards around it. A standalone spike — a 60-line Avalonia app with no DodoSSH code — reproduces the airspace bug on a 340,* grid, and a second harness mirroring the data plane's handshake measures what I had only reasoned about: with IsVisible=false set before the window is ever shown, the adapter is created, the page is fetched and the WebSocket 101 is sent, with frames arriving over the socket while hidden. A cold WebView2 profile behaves the same. Revealing recomputes bounds in about 7 ms. So the docs no longer cite "35 msedgewebview2 processes" as the confirmation that the renderer attaches. A process count cannot show that a socket was accepted — the same shape of mistake, one level down, as the one that entry was already correcting. It now cites the handshake, quotes Avalonia's maintainer on airspace being by design, and links the still-open upstream issue. Three changes to the fix itself: - terminal.js skips the fit below 40px in either axis. The vendored fit addon floors its proposal at 2 columns by 1 row rather than refusing, so a degenerate viewport reflows the *remote* pty through window-change and mangles wrapped scrollback unrecoverably. Reachable today by minimising, and by dragging a splitter to the edge once splits land — a guard where the sizes arrive, not a special case for one caller. - FallbackValue=False on the binding. A compiled binding with no DataContext yields UnsetValue, IsVisible falls back to true, and the occlusion returns silently. Not reachable at runtime; it is what the previewer does. - The comment now says why it must be IsVisible on this control: detaching destroys the native control and the whole WebView2 process tree, so conditional content would pay a cold start per unlock, and hoisting the binding to an ancestor is unverified because NativeWebView's own bounds-and-scaling re-push fires only for its own IsVisible. Also recorded, not fixed: hiding does not suspend the page (visibilityState stays "visible" and rAF keeps firing at ~115/s, which is *why* the handshake completes while hidden); the conflict log can squeeze the terminal row toward nothing; and nothing hands the terminal Win32 focus after Connect, so the first keystrokes go to the shell's UI rather than the remote shell.	2026-07-29 13:42:23 +02:00
jaap-jan	7226e70b8a	Record that a sub-path server URL is silently dropped ... Found while sweeping for the stale default. The client uses the typed address only as HttpClient.BaseAddress and every request path is root-absolute, so https://example.test/dodossh reaches https://example.test/api/v1/... with the prefix discarded and no error — which rules out hosting under a sub-path, the usual arrangement behind a proxy fronting several services. The server already publishes a canonical apiBaseUrl the client could normalise against and ignores. Recorded rather than fixed: it is a deployment-shape decision, not a bug in the screen that prompted this.	2026-07-29 13:27:12 +02:00
jaap-jan	0500e43e02	Stop the terminal's WebView painting over the setup screens ... The shell layered its setup and unlock screens over the terminal, which does not work: NativeWebView attaches a real Win32 child HWND through NativeControlHost, and a child window composites above everything its parent paints regardless of visual-tree z-order. The cards rendered sliced at the terminal column's left edge; at the window's default width every one of their buttons fell inside the WebView's rectangle, so the flow could only be completed by keyboard, and a click in that region handed Win32 focus to WebView2 so the text boxes silently stopped accepting keystrokes. The WebView is now collapsed while the vault is not unlocked. The comment that previously forbade this — hiding it means never realising it — was wrong: NativeControlHost creates the native attachment on attach to the visual tree, never consulting layout or visibility, and NativeWebView replays a Source assigned before its adapter exists. A collapsed WebView still starts WebView2, loads the page and lets the renderer attach. Confirmed: 35 msedgewebview2 processes with the control collapsed. What the first connection after unlocking actually depends on is the existing await on WaitForRendererAsync, since the data plane drops frames when no renderer is attached. Also fixes the second visible defect: the default server URL was https://localhost:7217, the API's *second* launch profile, while the README, its appsettings and a plain `dotnet run` all use http://localhost:5233 — so nothing was listening, and an HTTPS client against a plaintext port reports "The SSL connection could not be established", which reads as a certificate problem. The default now matches, a missing scheme is rejected by name instead of parsing as scheme "localhost", and that specific TLS failure now suggests http://. Both new tests fail when the fixes are reverted. Corrections to claims I made earlier and should not have: - docs/platform-flags.md asserted the opposite of the mechanism above and cited an established msedgewebview2 connection as verification. That observation was taken while the overlay was showing but, because of this very bug, the WebView was uncovered and in plain view — so it confirmed only that a visible WebView is realised. A process-level check cannot verify a rendering claim. The entry was also filed under "Local cache". - ITerminalHost was documented as the live seam the app plugs into, with a stub standing in for headless tests. It has no implementation anywhere and no test uses it; the view navigates the control directly. It also counted Avalonia.Controls.WebView and NativeWebView as two interchangeable backends when they are one component, with the Linux backend backwards. - The README claimed the shell's whole path was covered by tests. Its state machine is; its layout is covered by nothing, and a headless test could not have caught this — headless has no native window, so it would have rendered correctly and confirmed the wrong belief. Verified by screenshotting the running app: the card renders complete and centred at the default size, with the button clickable.	2026-07-29 13:26:30 +02:00
jaap-jan	b9e7c258ae	Point the design-time factory at the stack the repo ships ... `dotnet ef database update --project src/DodoSSH.Infrastructure` — the command the README documents — failed on a clean machine. The design-time default named `dodossh_design` as user `postgres` with no password, which is a database this repository never creates, while the development compose stack creates `dodossh`/`dodossh`. The failure arrives as a SCRAM authentication error, so it reads like a broken container rather than a stale default. The default is now the compose stack, since that is the only local database the repo defines. DODOSSH_DESIGN_CONNECTION still overrides it, and a real deployment migrates through that or the migrator job. Also documents running the thing end to end, which the README never covered: the four commands in order, that migrations are a separate step because the API deliberately fails readiness rather than migrating, and the three M1 gaps visible in the first five minutes — so they are expected rather than diagnosed.	2026-07-29 12:17:59 +02:00
jaap-jan	34304b989b	Make the end-to-end suite self-contained with Testcontainers ... It needed a hand-started stack and an opt-in flag, so it ran on one machine and never in CI. It now brings up PostgreSQL, Keycloak and an OpenSSH server itself, applies the committed migrations and starts the API as a child process, which makes it part of the ordinary test run at ~25s. The API runs as a process rather than through WebApplicationFactory. The client builds its own HttpClient for a URL the user typed, so there is no seam to hand a test handler through without inventing one that exists only for tests — and a test host would replace the entry point, Kestrel and the content root, so it would never prove that Program.cs composes or that the committed appsettings is found and layered in the documented order. Running out of the API's own output directory is what makes its configuration real. The suite still consumes what ships: the realm file from deploy/keycloak, the EF migrations, the API's own appsettings. Only Oidc:Authority is overridden, because the container's port is assigned at start. Falsified by reintroducing the wildcard-port redirect URI the realm once had — Keycloak rejects the authorization request and the suite fails at sign-in, which is what proves the committed file is the one imported. Skipping the migration step likewise fails, and the failure names the pending migration. A fresh Keycloak per run also sidesteps the --import-realm trap: editing the realm file and rerunning now always tests the edit. DodoDbContextFactory gains a Create(connectionString) so the fixture and dotnet ef place the migrations history table in exactly one place. If they disagreed the API would report every migration pending, which is how the readiness gate catches it.	2026-07-29 12:09:15 +02:00
jaap-jan	1d262b7ccc	Run M1's end-to-end slice, and fix the two bugs it found ... The whole vertical slice now runs against a real Keycloak, a real API, a real PostgreSQL and a real sshd: sign in through the browser flow, enroll with the identity-provider key binding, unlock, create a host, sync it, read it back on a second machine, unlock again with no network, accept an unseen host key, and open an interactive shell. Opt-in, because it needs the development stack; skipped with a message naming the commands. It found two bugs on its first run, and both are the same class: two sides of a stub agreeing with each other about something the specification never said. **The API never applied DodoSshJsonContext to its HTTP JSON options.** Minimal APIs therefore used the framework's web defaults, which write an enum as a number. Every request DTO carrying one failed to bind against a client writing the specified string form — which is the entire sync surface, unreachable from the real client, with a 400 naming only the parameter. The documented guarantee that request bodies reject unmapped members was likewise not in effect anywhere. Nothing caught it because the API tests posted with PostAsJsonAsync's defaults, so they and the server had independently settled on integers. Those tests now serialise through the contract, which is the deeper fix: removing the new configuration fails 13 of them. Copying settings into options a host owns is itself the hazard the context warns about, so ApplyTo lives beside the settings it mirrors and ApplyToTests pins the transformation, including that inserting the resolver leaves the caller's own in place. **The realm registered a loopback redirect URI Keycloak rejects.** `http://127.0.0.1:*/callback` looks more explicit than the RFC 8252 form and is broken: Keycloak's wildcards are trailing-only, so the `*` parses as a literal port and every authorization request came back "Invalid parameter: redirect_uri". Providers ignore the port for loopback hosts, which is the whole mechanism, so the correct registration is `http://127.0.0.1/callback` — path pinned, port free. The value the server advertises through the discovery document said the same wrong thing and now says the right one. Two smaller things, both documented in docs/platform-flags.md: - --import-realm skips a realm that already exists, so editing the realm file and restarting Keycloak changes nothing and serves stale configuration. The container has to be recreated. The compose comment claimed the opposite. - Keycloak marks its session cookies Secure even over plain HTTP, because SameSite=None requires it. A spec-conformant client drops them and the login POST answers 400 with no message; browsers complete the flow only because they exempt loopback. Harmless for the product, fatal for automation, so ScriptedBrowser carries the cookies by hand and says why. Also: the server enforces a 64 MiB floor on the passphrase KDF, so this suite cannot use the 8 MiB profile the other client suites take for speed. Those only get away with it because their in-memory servers have no policy — worth knowing rather than rediscovering. 638 tests. The solution-wide run stays green with the stack down: exit code 8 means "no tests ran", which the platform reports as failure, so the opt-in project ignores exactly that code.	2026-07-29 11:37:49 +02:00
jaap-jan	49f617b450	Wire the Avalonia shell to the vault ... The host list now comes from the vault instead of from a form. A fresh machine takes a server URL, signs in through the browser, enrolls, and from then on opens with the passphrase alone. DodoSSH.Client.Session is the composition layer: where a profile lives, how it unlocks, and how a machine gets one. ClientPaths picks a non-roaming per-OS directory — %LOCALAPPDATA% and never %APPDATA%, because a SQLite cache that roams between two machines is a corrupt one, and each machine's outbox is its own. SessionOpener needs no transport at all and could not reach one if it wanted to; that is the offline unlock, asserted rather than asserted about. A wrong passphrase, a stale KDF and a grant revoked by a rekey are three different answers, because the remedies are three different things and telling someone to retype a passphrase that was never the problem is worse than saying nothing. The shell's states are the onboarding story. The recovery code gets its own state that cannot be clicked past: it exists for one moment, losing it with the passphrase loses the vault, and there is no server-side reset by design. It is dropped from memory on confirmation rather than merely hidden. Sign-in is a delegate over IVaultServer, so the whole state machine runs in a test against an in-memory server — no browser, no identity provider, no toolkit. The view models are plain observable objects, which is what makes that possible. What it does not cover is whether the XAML binds to the right names; that needs a rendered tree and Avalonia.Headless, and is its own piece of work. Three things found by doing it rather than by reading it: - Pooled SQLite connections keep the database file open after the last context is disposed. On Windows that means locked, so the application could never replace its own cache — and a test could not clean up after itself, which is how it surfaced. Dispose now clears the pool. - EF's SQLite provider puts the database in WAL mode, so the cache is three files. A comment in ClientCacheFactory claimed the opposite; reading PRAGMA journal_mode off a real launch settled it. WAL is the right mode here — a sync pass writes while the interface reads — so the comment was wrong on the merits as well as on the fact. - Enrolling a device key with nowhere to keep the private half would put a wrap on the server nobody can open and make the device list claim this machine can unlock without a passphrase. Device binding is now optional and the shell declines it until the OS keystore is wired. Verified on Windows: the client created %LOCALAPPDATA%\DodoSSH\cache.db and migrated it on first launch, and msedgewebview2 held an established connection to the data plane while the unlock overlay covered it — which is the point of covering the WebView rather than collapsing it, since a NativeWebView that is never laid out is never realised. 630 tests, up from 593. The recovery-code gate and the offline unlock were each verified by breaking them and watching the right test fail. Still to do for M1's actual definition of done: the manual run against the real API and a real Keycloak. Credentials are not a synced entity type yet, so a connection still asks for a password, and the interface says so rather than implying otherwise.	2026-07-29 11:02:19 +02:00
jaap-jan	8d2416a602	Add the encrypted local cache and the sync client ... Three new client projects, and the wire-contract fix they needed. DodoSSH.Client.Domain holds the decrypted item model and the three-way merge, with no I/O at all — so the suite that decides whether a credential can be lost runs in milliseconds with nothing to mock. Scalars defer to the server on a genuine clash so every replica resolves the same triple identically and two clients cannot ping-pong; directives merge per name so two people each adding one both keep theirs; the jump chain merges as a whole value because its order is the route. Whatever loses is returned rather than dropped. DodoSSH.Client.Storage is EF Core on SQLite, no SQLCipher: the rows are already ciphertext, so an encrypted file would protect protected bytes at the cost of a native dependency. It keeps the server's state and the outbox in separate tables, which is what preserves the common ancestor a merge needs. One pending operation per item, enforced by a unique index. DodoSSH.Client.Sync is the pull/apply/push loop. Pulling never decrypts — a change with no local work pending is plumbed as ciphertext — so a first sync of thousands of items does not run twice as many AEAD operations for nothing. Contracts: EncryptedPayload gains WrappedDataKey and DataKeyId. The specification has required a per-item data key since crypto.md §3, the columns have existed since the first migration and DshAad.ItemPayload binds the id, but this record had nowhere to put either — so a spec-compliant item could not be transmitted at all. Found by writing the client that has to produce one. Also closes a hole in AadResourceType, which had no value for the HostTag and HostCredential that SyncEntityType has always listed. Four bugs the tests found, not review: - SQLite refuses to order or compare its own DateTimeOffset mapping, and throws at execution rather than model build. Collecting tombstones and listing conflicts are both that shape, so this was a crash waiting for the first user with a deleted host. Timestamps are integers now, by convention so a later field cannot be the one left unconverted. - SQLitePCLRaw 2.1.11, which EF resolves, is covered by GHSA-2m69-gcr7-jv3q. Pinned forward as a family. - Resurrecting content from a remote deletion cleared the original before queueing the copy. Two transactions, so a crash between them lost the work; reversed, and the rescued id is derived from the tombstone so a replay coalesces instead of duplicating. - Several equality assertions went through Shouldly's ShouldBe, which compares IEnumerable element-wise and so tested nothing about the Equals these types exist to provide. Corrected; the falsification that caught it went from 2 failures to 6. The push response's cursor is deliberately ignored. It sits after this client's own writes, so adopting it skips anything another client committed at a lower sequence in the window between a pull and a push — permanently. Re-reading one's own writes is idempotent and costs a page. The Contracts doc that invited the shortcut now says so. 593 tests, up from 448. The delete-versus-edit rules, the ancestor retention, the fresh operation id on coalesce and the cursor safeguard were each verified by breaking them and watching the right test fail.	2026-07-29 10:27:37 +02:00
jaap-jan	a878c2b6bb	Add the server client and client-side enrollment ... A typed client over DodoSSH.Contracts, and the orchestration that turns a passphrase into an enrolled identity: generate keys, have the identity provider sign over them, wrap the bundle three ways, create the personal vault, publish. Ordering here is forced, not chosen. The secret bundle's AAD binds to the server-assigned user id, so /me has to be read before anything can be wrapped -- which is exactly why /me provisions the account and returns its id even while reporting that enrollment is required. That constraint was designed into the server earlier; this is the first code that depends on it. The grant tuple now has a real canonical encoding (crypto.md 7.3) rather than the placeholder signature I would otherwise have had to invent and then keep. §7 named the tuple without specifying how to encode it; this fills that in with the same conventions as 7.1, and the self-grant at enrollment is already in its final format. The signature covers SHA-256(wrappedKey) rather than the key, so a verifier can check attribution without holding the vault key at all. The most valuable tests are the negative ones about the request body: the server is meant to be unable to read what it stores, and a refactor that put a passphrase or a private key into the enrollment request would be invisible to every other test in the repository. So one asserts the body contains neither the passphrase, the recovery code, nor any private key in base64 or hex. Another opens the same bundle three ways -- passphrase, recovery code and device key -- which is what makes a passphrase change a one-row update. ClientEnrollment depends on IKeyBindingAuthorizer rather than the whole OidcClient. It needs exactly one capability, and depending on the full client would drag discovery and token exchange into every test of key binding. Two things fixed while building it. The recovery code buffer was sized one separator short, so every enrollment threw IndexOutOfRange -- caught immediately because nine of ten tests failed identically. And the crypto enum collided with Domain.GrantKind in the server, so it is GrantPurpose there; the numeric values still have to match, which the doc and a test both say. 448 tests pass, zero warnings on a clean rebuild, format clean.	2026-07-28 22:42:56 +02:00
jaap-jan	5fccd53824	Add the Avalonia app and the xterm renderer, and fix two real bugs ... The terminal works end to end. A new integration test drives a real sshd in a container through a real PTY, the real pump, the real loopback WebSocket with its token and origin checks, and a ClientWebSocket standing in for the page: the login banner arrives, typed input round-trips, and `stty size` reports the 100x30 the session asked for. The only untested link left is xterm drawing bytes it was handed. The WebView is de-risked on Windows, which was the plan's largest risk. Not by assertion: with the app running there is an established TCP connection from msedgewebview2 to the data plane port, so WebView2 launched, navigated to the loopback page, executed terminal.js, and completed the WebSocket handshake against the real token and origin checks. Linux remains unproven and the package's own release notes now corroborate the concern -- Linux uses a WPE backend, and it ships a NativeWebDialog described as useful where embedded WebViews may be unavailable. Two bugs found by building it, both of which would have shipped: - ShellStream.Write buffers and needs an explicit Flush. Without one a keystroke is accepted, reported as written, and never reaches the remote: the terminal displays output perfectly and simply stops responding to input. SSH.NET's own WriteLine flushes, which is why the earlier spike never hit it. Found by isolating the pump against real SSH and reading BytesRead=51 -- banner and prompt through, nothing after. - The Windows app manifest needs a supportedOS list, or Avalonia's native control host fails outright and the terminal never starts. Also fixed a genuinely flaky test I happened to catch: SyncCursorTests tampered with the *last* base64url character, whose low bits the decoder ignores when the input length is not a multiple of three -- so a tampered cursor sometimes decoded to identical bytes and verified. It failed roughly one run in thirty, depending on a random key. Now tampers the penultimate character, which is fully significant at every length; 40 consecutive runs are clean. xterm 6.0.0 plus the fit and webgl addons are vendored as UMD bundles rather than built with npm, so a clean clone needs only the .NET SDK. Provenance and licences are recorded next to them, along with the UMD global names terminal.js depends on -- a bundle that switched to ES modules would load without error and leave Terminal undefined. The renderer acknowledges output from term.write's completion callback, not on receipt. Acknowledging early would return flow-control credit for bytes the screen has not caught up with, which is the one thing the credit window exists to measure. TerminalWorkspace moved into DodoSSH.Client.Terminal: it has no Avalonia dependency, and having it there is what let the end-to-end test exist at all. 404 tests pass, zero warnings on a clean rebuild, format clean.	2026-07-28 22:30:42 +02:00
jaap-jan	eb354bcdd9	Add the SSH session layer and the terminal data plane ... The throughput harness the plan requires before any UI, plus the SSH plumbing under it. 94 new tests, no WebView involved. Credit-based flow control is what makes `yes` survivable. A terminal renders at 60 Hz at best while a remote produces output as fast as the network allows, and the difference has to accumulate somewhere or be refused. Credit is reserved *before* reading, never after: because the pump cannot read more than the renderer has room for, the coalescing buffer is bounded by the window rather than by how fast the remote can talk. When credit runs out the pump stops reading, SSH's own receive window closes, and the remote sshd blocks -- backpressure to the source with no custom protocol. Verified by falsification, not just by passing: with the credit gate removed three tests fail, including the throughput harness's bounded-memory assertion. Acknowledgements are clamped because they cross into JavaScript, where a buggy or hostile page could otherwise claim to have rendered a gigabyte and talk the host into an unbounded read. Host key trust is enforced by *failing* the connection rather than prompting inside the handshake. SSH.NET raises verification synchronously, so consulting the user there would block the handshake on a UI round trip and deadlock the first time the prompt needed the UI thread. Unknown host and changed key become distinct exceptions the caller resolves asynchronously. A mismatch has no retry path at all: a dialog offering to continue is how users are trained to click through the one warning that actually indicates interception. A legitimately rebuilt server is handled by removing the pin in settings, away from the moment of connecting. The data plane serves the renderer page from the same loopback listener as the socket, which makes Origin predictable -- always http://127.0.0.1:{port} -- where a WebView virtual-host mapping would give a different origin per backend and nothing to validate. The token is substituted at serve time, so it never touches disk and never appears in a URL. Being clear about what that buys: not protection from a process running as this user, which can read our memory anyway, but from a page in the user's browser attempting WebSocket connections to loopback ports, which is a real and routine thing. Two bugs the tests caught. The accept loop handled connections serially, so an upgraded WebSocket parked it inside the receive loop and every later request went unanswered -- the page's own script among them. The suite hung rather than failed, which is how I found it. And SHA-1 is unavoidable here: RFC 6455 mandates it for Sec-WebSocket-Accept, where it authenticates nothing. Suppressed narrowly with that reasoning; the alternative, HttpListener.AcceptWebSocketAsync, throws PlatformNotSupportedException off Windows.	2026-07-28 21:58:55 +02:00
jaap-jan	94f66be5e8	Add the OIDC client: PKCE loopback sign-in and the key binding flow ... Authorization Code with PKCE on a loopback redirect, per RFC 6749, RFC 7636 and RFC 8252. Zero package references: the flow is fully specified, and the one thing a library would own for us -- nonce generation and validation -- is exactly what the key binding needs to control. Duende's OidcClient generates and validates its own nonce as an internal detail, and the binding requires the nonce be a specific value: the hash of the key statement being enrolled. Fighting that is worse than owning the flow. AuthorizeKeyBindingAsync is the client half of the primary trust anchor. It runs a second authorization with nonce set to the statement hash and prompt=login, so the ID token that returns is the provider's signature over exactly those public keys, attesting to a user present now rather than to a session opened at some unknown earlier time. It requests only openid -- a second refresh token would be one more long-lived credential for no benefit -- and rejects a token whose nonce is not the one it asked for, because enrolling that would store evidence verifying against keys we are not publishing. The nonce is read without validating the ID token's signature. Sanctioned by OIDC Core 3.1.3.7: for a token received by direct communication with the token endpoint, TLS server authentication may stand in for signature checking. That reasoning does not extend to another user's binding, which arrives via the DodoSSH server and must be verified against JWKS fetched directly -- the directory work in M3. Raw TcpListener rather than HttpListener for the redirect: an ephemeral port can be bound and read atomically instead of picking one and hoping it is still free, there is no HTTP.SYS URL-ACL question on Windows, and the whole surface is one request line. It answers 404 on other paths and keeps waiting, because a browser asks for /favicon.ico first and treating that as the callback would abort every sign-in. 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost: RFC 8252 permits either, but the name resolves through the hosts file. 20 tests, driving the real listener over TCP with a fake browser that actually fetches the redirect -- injecting a fabricated callback would skip the parsing, path filtering and response writing that can break. Mostly negative, because the loopback port is reachable by every local process: a response with the wrong state is rejected *and* never reaches the token endpoint, metadata declaring an issuer other than its own authority is rejected (RFC 8414 3.3, without which a mix-up attack works), a provider offering only 'plain' is fatal rather than a silent downgrade, and the verifier sent is checked against the challenge advertised so PKCE is not theatre that only fails in production. Two bugs caught by writing the tests: the authorize URL builder dropped client_id entirely after a refactor, and CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter has no TimeProvider overload -- so the browser timeout is now constructed with the clock and a test can advance it instead of waiting five minutes.	2026-07-28 21:13:35 +02:00
jaap-jan	e65d738912	Add the client key hierarchy: bundle, master key, vault and item keys ... Everything crypto.md section 3 describes below the identity key, which is what the desktop client needs before it can enroll or store anything. DshAad gives every descriptor in the specification a named constructor. The AAD binding is the most valuable structural property in the design -- it is what stops a server holding every ciphertext from pasting one row's bytes onto another, rolling a row back to a superseded generation, or replaying a revoked grant -- and all of it depends on callers getting purpose, resource type and ids right at every single call site. Hand-constructing descriptors makes that a matter of care; picking a method name makes it a matter of spelling. UserSecretBundle holds private keys in libsodium's guarded, mlocked allocations rather than a byte[], so they are not paged out and do not land in a core dump. They are created exportable, deliberately: re-wrapping the same bundle for a passphrase change or a new device needs to re-encode it, and the alternative -- a long-lived managed array so the keys need not be exportable -- keeps the identical secret in strictly worse memory. Every export is into a buffer zeroed before the method returns. Two spec changes, both found by implementing it, which is the argument for writing code before calling a spec frozen: - MK is 64 bytes, not 32. Skipping HKDF-Extract is correct for an Argon2id output (RFC 5869 3.3), but it means MK *is* the PRK, and .NET's HKDF.Expand rejects a PRK shorter than the hash output -- so a 32-byte MK cannot be expanded with SHA-512 at all. Widening it keeps the specified primitive; the alternatives were dropping to SHA-256 or adding an Extract step that conditions nothing. - The bundle encoding is a fixed 92-byte layout rather than canonical CBOR. Canonicality is not load-bearing here -- unlike a key statement the bundle is never hashed or signed, only encrypted -- so CBOR's one advantage does not apply, while its canonicalisation rules are a real source of cross-implementation disagreement. It also costs a dependency System.Formats.Cbor is not in the shared framework. Safe to change now and not later: no bundle has ever been stored. 53 new tests. The encoding is checked against an independent codec written in the test rather than by round-tripping production code against itself -- a round trip passes just as happily when both directions are wrong the same way, and this format cannot change after one bundle is stored. The pinned 92-byte hex constant is the golden vector for the layout. Most of the rest are negative, because a binding is only demonstrated by the substitutions that fail: a wrap for another user, a grant from a superseded generation, a payload pasted onto another item, a metadata blob offered as a payload, a version rolled back.	2026-07-28 21:02:52 +02:00
jaap-jan	885fb17bdc	Clear the SSH gate: window-change reaches the remote, and licence as MIT ... Licence is MIT, set solution-wide rather than only on the packable project: DodoSSH.Contracts is published so clients can build against it, and a package with no licence expression is one a corporate policy scanner rejects outright. The SSH.NET spike is the M1 client gate and it passes. SSH.NET 2025.1.0 exposes ShellStream.ChangeWindowSize, but a method existing is not the remote observing it, so the tests read `stty size` back from a real sshd after resizing rather than asserting the call did not throw. Repeated resizes each take effect too, which matters because dragging a window edge produces a stream of them. The IChannelSession fallback is not needed. Also verified against a real sshd: password and public-key auth, that the host key arrives as a raw blob we can fingerprint ourselves rather than reading SSH.NET's MD5 property, and that refusing the key via CanTrust actually aborts the connection -- without which the TOFU dialog would be decoration. Kept as a permanent suite, not deleted after the spike. An upgrade that silently stopped sending the request would present as wrapped output only after a resize, which is easy to misattribute to the terminal emulator. Two bugs in the test itself, both worth naming because either would have been read as "resize does not work": - A PTY emits CRLF, and the anchored regex rejected the CR. The output visibly contained `24 80` while the match failed. - Each read can begin with output still buffered from the previous command, including its size line. Taking the first match would have reported the pre-resize size. platform-flags.md now records window-change as resolved rather than unverified -- a stale flag is worse than none -- plus the three real SSH.NET limits found on the way: ShellStream does not override ReadAsync so every idle session parks a pool thread, one connection cannot serve both SshClient and SftpClient, and agent forwarding needs an upstream change.	2026-07-28 16:52:09 +02:00
jaap-jan	b7325b78ca	Record the platform flags that were only in conversation ... Development and testing are Windows-only, so anything unverified elsewhere needs to be written down or it gets assumed to work. Several of these have already cost time once: PostgreSQL 18 moving its data directory silently gives a carried-over compose file an empty volume, and a loopback-bound Tomcat beat Docker's 0.0.0.0 publish for `localhost`, making every Keycloak realm 404 while the container looked healthy. The largest entry is the Avalonia WebView on Linux, which remains the biggest risk in the plan and is why the terminal sits behind ITerminalHost. Also records two things this milestone deliberately left undone -- no rate limiting on the enrollment and sync write paths until M2, and /me not touching last_seen_at_utc -- so neither reads later as an oversight.	2026-07-28 16:08:04 +02:00
jaap-jan	a628762cd1	Add /me and enrollment with the identity-provider key binding (M1) ... The last backend piece of M1. A client can now log in, discover it must enroll, publish its identity key, and get a usable personal vault. Enrollment is one indivisible act. One transaction writes the key, its wraps, the device, the key log entry, the vault and the vault key grant, because none of them is useful alone: a key with no vault leaves a user unable to store anything, and a vault with no grant is a container nobody can ever open -- including its owner, since only the client can wrap the key and it has already moved on. Two independent checks run, and neither substitutes for the other. The Ed25519 self-signature proves possession of the private key. The identity-provider binding proves whose key it is: the client hashed its statement, used the hash as an OIDC nonce, and the resulting ID token is the provider's signature over exactly those public keys. This server cannot mint that signature, so it cannot invent a key for a user who never enrolled -- which is the attack that would otherwise let an operator read every vault by publishing its own key as yours. The binding token is stored verbatim, not just summarised. Clients must repeat the check against the provider's JWKS fetched directly, and storing only our conclusion would ask them to trust the server about the one question the design exists to avoid trusting it about. Key log appends take a deployment-wide advisory lock. The falsification matters more than the passing test: with the lock removed, Enroll_ConcurrentEnrollmentsByDifferentUsers_LeaveAnUnbrokenChain fails with entry 11 linked to the wrong predecessor. Different users trip no unique index, so without serialising they all read the same head and the chain forks -- indistinguishable from the key substitution the log exists to make detectable, and permanent, because the log is append-only. Enrollment is idempotent. Vault ids and keys are client-chosen, so a client whose response was lost re-sends the identical body and gets the identical result. Without that, a lost response leaves a user enrolled against a vault they never learned the id of. Contract change, breaking the v0.1 freeze deliberately. EnrollmentRequest had DevicePublicKey but no wrap to go with it, which is unsatisfiable: only the holder of the secret bundle can seal it, so the server could never fill the gap. Added DeviceWrappedPrivateKey, and PersonalVault so enrollment can be atomic rather than leaving an unopenable vault behind two endpoints that do not exist yet. No client exists and no package is published, which is exactly when PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt expects this. Sync now requires the Enrolled policy, which until now was a stub whose name promised a check it never made. The sync denial tests use enrolled intruders instead of unenrolled ones -- an unenrolled caller is stopped before the vault check runs, which would have left those tests passing without exercising the thing they exist to prove. Also fixed: omitting kdfParameters from the JSON body was a 500. A record's non-nullable parameters are a compile-time promise, not a runtime one. 268 tests pass, zero warnings on a clean rebuild, format clean.	2026-07-28 16:06:35 +02:00
jaap-jan	d2a2ed8a29	Specify the key statement encoding and key log chain (crypto.md 7.1, 7.2) ... Section 7 always required "a canonical, length-prefixed encoding" for signatures without ever specifying one. That gap had to be closed before enrollment could exist: the client hashes the key statement and uses the result as an OIDC nonce, so the provider signs over those exact bytes. Two implementations disagreeing by one byte produce two nonces and an enrollment nobody can verify -- and it only shows up against a real provider, never in a local test. JSON cannot be the hashed form. Property order, number formatting, Unicode escaping and whitespace all vary between serialisers. So the statement is transmitted as JSON and hashed as a fixed binary encoding, and the two are independent by construction. Three details are load-bearing rather than stylistic: - The presence byte before each string is what makes the encoding injective. Without it an absent email and an empty one encode identically, and two different statements share a binding. - Timestamps truncate to milliseconds. PostgreSQL stores microseconds, so a statement that has been through the database must still hash to what the client hashed. The same applies to the key log, where an entry that cannot reproduce its own hash after being read back makes the chain unverifiable. - The key log entry hash deliberately excludes the database sequence. It is unknown until the insert runs, and order already follows the hash links -- so a renumbered or gapped sequence column cannot silently reorder history. KeyStatementFields is separate from Contracts.KeyStatement on purpose: one may gain JSON fields freely, the other cannot change without invalidating every stored binding, and Crypto must not depend on the contract assembly. KeyStatementDriftTests makes a field added to one and not the other a build failure, because a wire field outside the binding is unauthenticated data the server can change undetected. 54 new tests and two new golden vector sections. The vectors pin the absent-versus-empty email case and confirm that an offset-bearing sub-millisecond timestamp encodes identically to its truncated UTC form. Only additions to vectors.json; nothing existing moved.	2026-07-28 16:06:11 +02:00
jaap-jan	e6673f0bf2	Fix the CI formatting gate, which was already failing ... dotnet format --verify-no-changes exits 2 on main: the async-suffix naming rule fires on every async test method. I reported this gate as clean when finishing the sync engine and it was not. Test names are documentation. Push_WithAStaleVersion_ReportsConflict says what is asserted; adding Async says the same plus an implementation detail nobody reading a failure report needs. The suffix convention exists so callers can spot awaitables, and a test method has no callers -- so the rule is switched off under tests/ rather than the names being changed.	2026-07-28 16:05:52 +02:00
jaap-jan	98d29bff37	Add HTTP integration harness and the sync authorization matrix (M1) ... 27 end-to-end tests over the real HTTP pipeline, against a PostgreSQL container and a stubbed identity provider. This closes the gap the previous commit flagged. Authentication is genuinely exercised, not bypassed. StubIdentityProvider serves real OIDC discovery and JWKS via WireMock and signs tokens with a real RSA key, so the application's own JwtBearer pipeline validates issuer, audience, signature, lifetime and claims. A TestAuthHandler that short-circuits authentication would hide exactly the claim-mapping mistakes that cause real authorization holes. Proven by rejecting: no token, a foreign signing key, the wrong audience, the wrong issuer, and an expired token. Authorization denials — the tests that matter most: - Another user's vault is 404, not 403, for both pull and push. A distinct "exists but forbidden" answer is an existence oracle for other tenants' vault ids. - A denied push writes nothing: no host row and no change-log entry. A denial that still mutated state would be worse than no check at all. - A team vault is denied until M3 rather than falling through to a permissive default. Behaviour covered: push/pull round trip, cursor advance (and that an empty pull does not rewind the cursor, which would replay history), tampered cursor rejection, stale-version conflict returning server state without overwriting, operation-id replay reported Duplicate and applied once, a mixed batch applying the good and reporting the bad, relay field enforcement both ways, delete clearing the relay address, tombstones carrying no payload, and JIT provisioning happening exactly once. Two configuration problems found by running it: - appsettings.json carried empty-string placeholders for the connection string and OIDC authority. Under minimal hosting those beat anything a test registers via ConfigureAppConfiguration, because Program.cs adds its own sources after that callback runs. Removed them outright — an empty placeholder turns "not configured" into "configured as empty", which defeats failing fast. Tests now use DODOSSH_ environment variables, which Program.cs adds last. - My first fix for minting an expired test token derived notBefore from the expiry, which put nbf fourteen minutes in the future for normal tokens and made every valid token 401. It needs the earlier of now-1min and exp-1min. Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 173 tests pass (up from 146), format clean.	2026-07-28 15:11:43 +02:00
jaap-jan	3829217e8a	Add sync engine: cursors, push/pull, and the advisory-lock ordering proof (M1) ... The vault write path. Push is the only way items change — no per-entity POST/PUT/DELETE — so one place enforces revisions, the change log and access control. The concurrency hazard, now proven rather than asserted: bigserial assigns sequence values when the INSERT runs, not at commit, so transaction A can take sequence 5 while B takes 6 and commits first. A reader polling in between sees only 6, advances past 5, and never learns about it. AdvisoryLockOrderingTests reproduces that gap WITHOUT the lock first — otherwise the with-lock test proves nothing, since it would pass just as happily if the interleaving never occurred — then shows pg_advisory_xact_lock removes it, and that 12 concurrent writers produce no gaps. Cursors are opaque and HMAC-tagged, and carry their vault id. 29 unit tests cover the rejections, which are the point: an accepted-but-wrong cursor is silent data loss, strictly worse than an error a client can resync from. Rejected: tampered tag, tampered payload, foreign signing key, a legitimately-issued cursor from another vault, truncation, and hostile input (never throws — cursors come from clients). Push semantics: - 200 even on partial failure, with per-operation status, so one stale item cannot block everything a client queued while offline. - Conflict returns the server's current row for client-side three-way merge. The server cannot merge ciphertext, so never last-writer-wins. - opId receipts make retries exactly-once per operation, not per batch — a client retrying a partially-overlapping batch after a timeout would otherwise double-apply what landed. - A tombstone beats a late upsert, and delete clears hostname/port: leaving the address would keep the server able to resolve a host the user believes they deleted. - Relay field validation mirrors the DB CHECK so a bad request is a clear Invalid rather than a constraint violation surfacing as a 500. Authorization goes through IVaultAccessService, which returns the same answer for "absent" and "forbidden" — distinguishing them is an existence oracle for other tenants' vault ids. Team vaults are explicitly denied until M3 rather than falling through to a permissive default. JIT provisioning keys on (issuer, subject), never email, and handles the concurrent-first-request race via the unique index. Renamed two domain types: Host -> SshHost, because Host collides with Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Host in every file of a web project, and SyncChange -> VaultChange to stop it colliding with the Contracts DTO of the same name. Aliasing at every use site would have been permanent friction. Worth noting: `ef migrations has-pending-model-changes` reported clean after those renames even though the snapshot still said "DodoSSH.Domain.Host" — it diffs tables, not CLR type names. The snapshot was regenerated and the emitted DDL diffed against the previous artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql to confirm the rename produced no schema change. Also removed ConfigureAwait(false) from test methods: xUnit1030 flags it as bypassing parallelization limits, which is why MA0004 is suppressed in test projects. Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 146 tests pass (up from 122), format clean. Endpoint-level tests are the immediate next step: they need a WireMock OIDC/JWKS stub and real JWT minting, so the "wrong user is denied" matrix does not exist yet for these two routes. The service-layer authorization and the concurrency property are covered.	2026-07-28 15:02:02 +02:00
jaap-jan	d3b14e6bc0	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.	2026-07-28 14:33:54 +02:00
jaap-jan	eaf68c86b0	Add data model, DbContext and initial migration (M1) ... Schema for identity, vaults, grants, hosts and the sync change log, verified against a real PostgreSQL 18 container rather than an in-memory provider: partial unique indexes, CHECK constraints, citext and identity-always columns are all provider behaviour that an in-memory fake would not exercise. Invariants pushed into the database, so they hold even when application code has a bug: - ck_host_relay_target is a security boundary, not tidiness. A host may carry a plaintext hostname and port ONLY when relay is deliberately enabled. Both directions are tested; the important one is that relay-disabled hosts cannot carry an address, since otherwise a bug would silently give the server infrastructure visibility it was never granted. - ck_vault_owner: exactly one of owner_user_id or team_id, or permission resolution would have no defined answer. - ck_vault_key_grant_recipient: member grants name a user; recovery and escrow grants are wrapped to a key and must not. - ck_user_key_wrap_kdf: a password-derived wrap without its parameters is permanently unopenable, so a partial write is rejected outright. Present from the first migration on purpose: - GrantKind (Member/Recovery/Escrow). Recovery cannot be bolted on later — every vault created before it existed would be unrecoverable by design. - team and team_membership, though team features are M3. Adding them later would mean introducing a foreign key on a live vault table. - Host.ContentKeyId, reserved for per-item content keys wrapped to individual users. - user_key as its own table, so key rotation does not require altering the user row. Two things verified rather than assumed: - Npgsql's UseXminAsConcurrencyToken helper no longer exists in EF 10, so xmin is mapped directly in XminConcurrency. The generated migration *looks* like it creates an xmin column; it does not. Confirmed by inspecting pg_attribute (attnum -2, a system column) and by grepping the emitted DDL. A test pins both, because had it created a real column PostgreSQL would have rejected the name. - EF Core is now pinned centrally. The Npgsql provider asks for 10.0.4 while EntityFrameworkCore.Design pulls 10.0.10, and because Design is PrivateAssets=all that higher version does not flow to referencing projects — producing a CS1705 in any test project referencing Infrastructure. Also commits artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql, the idempotent script, as the baseline for future upgrade tests. Verified: 0 warnings, 122 tests pass (27 new against Postgres), format clean.	2026-07-28 14:17:37 +02:00
jaap-jan	06d04b490b	Freeze DodoSSH.Contracts v0.1 (M1) ... The second M1 gate. This assembly, not the OpenAPI document, is the client's contract, so PublicApiAnalyzers now tracks all 540 public members: a renamed DTO property becomes a build error rather than a runtime deserialisation failure on someone's laptop. Contract surface: - EncryptedPayload carries the envelope plus the KeyGeneration and AadVersion columns needed to recompute AAD, since AAD is derived from the row rather than transmitted. - Sync: push with per-operation status (Applied/Conflict/Forbidden/Invalid/Duplicate) so one stale item cannot block a whole offline queue; a Conflict returns the server's row for client-side three-way merge, because the server cannot merge ciphertext. - Enrollment: KeyStatement whose hash becomes the OIDC nonce, so the identity provider signs over the public keys and this server cannot fabricate a key for a user who never enrolled. - Meta and .well-known configuration: capability negotiation instead of URL versioning, which is what a self-hosted product needs when client and server upgrade independently. - SyncPlaintextFields deliberately has no label or name field. ACL admin runs client-side where names can be decrypted, so the server never needs a searchable title. Two design problems found by writing the tests rather than assuming: - Hand-constructing JsonSerializerOptions and merely pointing its resolver at the context silently discards every source-generated setting. JsonSerializerDefaults.Web replaces NumberHandling.Strict with AllowReadingFromString, so "1" would be accepted where 1 is meant — invisible until two implementations disagree. Callers now use ResponseOptions or StrictRequestOptions; StrictRequestOptions is derived by copying so it cannot drift. - StrictRequestOptions had a static-initialisation cycle: it read the generated Default property from the same type's initialiser and got null. Now lazy. Requests reject unmapped members so a client typo is a 400; responses tolerate them so an older client can read a newer server. Enums cross the wire as strings, so reordering one cannot silently reinterpret stored data. Also: excluded source-generator output from PublicApiAnalyzers. The JSON generator emits a public member per serialisable type, which would have added hundreds of mechanical entries and drowned the ones describing the actual wire contract. And disabled MA0048's one-type-per-file rule: splitting SyncPullRequest from SyncPullResponse makes a reviewer open two files to understand one endpoint. Verified: 0 warnings, 95 tests pass, format clean.	2026-07-28 13:28:02 +02:00
jaap-jan	b15af836a3	Freeze DSH1 crypto specification and implement the core (M1) ... docs/crypto.md is now the normative, frozen specification. This had to land before anything else in M1: the server holds ciphertext and no keys, so it can never re-encrypt, and a format change after users hold data is a coordinated client rewrite with no rollback. Specification: - DSH1 envelope layout, canonical 64-byte AAD encoding, SealTo construction, key hierarchy, Argon2id profiles, fingerprints, and the change rules for each version field. - AAD encoding is fixed-width binary rather than delimited string concatenation, so no field value can forge a field boundary. This supersedes the illustrative form sketched in ADR 0001, which now points here. - UUIDs are RFC 4122 big-endian. Guid.ToByteArray() emits the first three groups little-endian and would have made our ciphertext unreadable by any other implementation of this spec, failing only at a cross-implementation boundary. Verified rather than assumed: - PrimitiveAvailabilityTests proves X25519, Ed25519, XChaCha20-Poly1305, Argon2id and HKDF-SHA512 all function on net10.0. NSec 26.4.0 targets net9.0 and is consumed by forward compatibility; this closes one of the two package questions the plan flagged. - Argon2Profile exists because NSec's MemorySize is in KIBIBYTES, not bytes. Passing bytes gives either a 256 GiB allocation or a 256 KiB KDF that cracks instantly. The type takes mebibytes so the unit cannot be got wrong at a call site. Found by benchmarking: the first measurements were ~1000x too slow, which turned out to be 19 GiB of work. - Parameters measured, not guessed: 256 MiB/t=4 is 323 ms on this machine; the table of candidates is in the spec. Implementation and tests (83 total, up from 17): - AadDescriptor, DshEnvelope, DshCrypto (Seal/Open/SealTo/OpenSealed/fingerprints). - Decryption returns null rather than throwing: ciphertext comes from a server that is explicitly not trusted, so a failed tag is an expected outcome. - Envelope readers reject unknown algorithms and any non-zero flag bit, so an envelope that is not fully understood fails closed. - Executable form of the spec's substitution claims: a server cannot move ciphertext between resources, roll back a key generation or item version, repurpose a payload as metadata, or confuse the two constructions. - Golden vectors in tests/fixtures/crypto/vectors.json guard the format. Mutation-checked: a one-byte schema version change trips four tests including the guard. Two build-infrastructure bugs found and fixed along the way: - .editorconfig forced camelCase on const and static readonly fields. PascalCase is the .NET convention for both; the config was wrong, not the code. - The golden fixture was resolved with [CallerFilePath], which ContinuousIntegrationBuild rewrites to /_/... under deterministic source paths. It passed locally and would have failed only in CI. Now copied to the output directory and read from there.	2026-07-28 13:18:29 +02:00
jaap-jan	ce43f397a6	Add ADRs 0001-0006 and README (M0) ... Records the decisions the milestone plan already made, with their costs stated rather than only their benefits: - 0001 e2ee-trust-model: key hierarchy, the AAD-to-row binding that stops the server moving ciphertext between rows, and the four-layer public-key trust story. States plainly that revocation is not retroactive, that Connect cannot be a security boundary, and that the IdP becomes a key-distribution trust root. - 0002 minimal-apis: feature modules with explicit registration; capability negotiation instead of Asp.Versioning, since client and server upgrade independently when self-hosted. - 0003 sync-protocol: single write path, revision cursors, and the bigserial pre-commit sequence gap that silently corrupts sync — plus the per-vault advisory lock that fixes it and the test that must prove it. - 0004 relay-authorization: relay forwards bytes rather than terminating SSH, so zero-knowledge survives; server-resolved target IPs in the ticket to defeat DNS rebinding; why host addresses must be plaintext when relay is enabled. - 0005 no-application-layer: why the usual Application/mediator layer earns nothing here, with the trigger that would make us revisit it. - 0006 observability-stack: OTel plus built-in ILogger; liveness excludes dependencies so a database blip cannot restart the container and kill live SSH sessions. Also adds a README covering layout, build, enforced conventions and milestones.	2026-07-28 12:28:44 +02:00
jaap-jan	3a81f3c90b	Restructure into src/tests and add build foundation (M0) ... Moves the scaffold to src/DodoSSH.Api and establishes the repo conventions the rest of the milestones build on. Structure: - src/{Contracts,Crypto,Domain,Infrastructure,Api}, tests/{Contracts,Crypto,Domain}.Tests - DodoSSH.slnx rewritten with src/ and tests/ solution folders Build: - Directory.Build.props centralises TFM, nullable, deterministic builds and TreatWarningsAsErrors; Directory.Packages.props pins every version centrally - packages.lock.json committed so CI restores in locked mode - NuGet.config clears machine-level sources, which both fixes NU1507 under central package management and makes restore reproducible off this machine - Microsoft.OpenApi pinned to 2.11.0: ASP.NET Core 10.0.10 resolves 2.0.0, which is covered by GHSA-v5pm-xwqc-g5wc (high, patched in 2.7.5) Analyzers: - AnalysisLevel is Recommended, not All. With warnings-as-errors, All turns opinionated naming rules into build breaks and trains people to blanket-suppress. - BannedSymbols.txt bans DateTime.UtcNow (TimeProvider), Guid.NewGuid (CreateVersion7), sync-over-async, MD5/SHA1, PBKDF2 and SecureString - CA1711/CA1724 disabled: both are .NET Framework CAS-era naming rules - PublicApiAnalyzers on Contracts only, since that assembly is the client's real contract API: - weather-forecast template removed - UseHttpsRedirection removed; TLS terminates at the reverse proxy and redirecting behind one causes loops - /healthz/{live,ready,startup}. Liveness deliberately checks no dependencies so a transient database outage cannot restart the container and kill live SSH sessions. Notes: - No coverage collector yet. Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage pulls an MTP 1.x MSBuild extension that throws TypeLoadException against the MTP 2.3.x xunit.v3 brings. Coverage gates are an M3 concern; revisit with an MTP 2.x-aligned version then. Verified: dotnet build (0 warnings), 17 tests pass, format check clean, API serves health and OpenAPI endpoints.	2026-07-28 12:25:34 +02:00
jaap-jan	1138291d79	Add pristine dotnet new webapi scaffold ... Baseline commit of the untouched template so the M0 restructure lands as a reviewable diff rather than appearing as the initial state. Includes .gitignore and .gitattributes only; no source changes.	2026-07-28 12:09:24 +02:00
