Summary

Adds the persistence foundation for continuous upstream mirroring and reversible authority transitions. Mirror configuration is stored durably with Rust and PostgreSQL invariants, and upstream URLs are restricted to credential-free public HTTPS repository targets before any future worker can consume them.

Motivation & context

This is roadmap slice B1a: persistence and validation only. It establishes the durable state required by the later fetch-worker, transition-executor, and writeback slices without activating mirroring on the live node.

Related to #330, whose owner-push enforcement must land before any mirror activation path is enabled.

Kind of change

  • Bug fix
  • Feature
  • Security fix
  • Docs
  • Tests / CI
  • Refactor (no behavior change)
  • Breaking or protocol change (issue required first)

What changed

  • gitlawb-node: add nullable mirror URL, status, transition job/phase, and update timestamp fields to repos.
  • gitlawb-node: add migrations 30-31 with a guarded NOT VALID constraint followed by validation in a separate transaction.
  • gitlawb-node: model stable and transitioning mirror states and reject inconsistent combinations in Rust and PostgreSQL.
  • gitlawb-node: validate upstream URLs as credential-free public HTTPS repository URLs, including loopback, private, link-local, localhost-domain, IPv4-embedded IPv6, and internal-host rejection.
  • gitlawb-node: make initial inbound configuration idempotent without rewriting mirror_updated_at, fail closed on malformed rows, and require canonical UUID repository IDs.
  • gitlawb-node: add upgrade, invariant, URL-policy, idempotency, malformed-row, transition, and peer-row regression tests.

Migration safety

  • v30 adds nullable, default-free columns and a NOT VALID check constraint.
  • v31 validates that constraint in a separate transaction so validation does not inherit v30's stronger table lock.
  • Existing repositories retain NULL mirror fields and are not rewritten.
  • No index is added until a worker has a demonstrated query requiring one.

How a reviewer can verify

cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
DATABASE_URL=postgresql:///postgres cargo test -p gitlawb-node mirror_state_tests -- --nocapture
DATABASE_URL=postgresql:///postgres cargo test -p gitlawb-node api::peers::tests -- --nocapture
cargo build --release --locked -p gitlawb-node
git diff --check

The focused PostgreSQL mirror suite passes 11/11, the webhook module passes 3/3, and the peer module passes 41/41 locally on macOS arm64 with Rust 1.91.1 and PostgreSQL 17.10. The requested fixes were mutation-checked: removing the public-host gate makes the unsafe-URL test fail, removing the canonical UUID gate allows the peer row to become inbound, removing the constraint replacement makes the same-name-impostor migration test fail, and restoring either stale .localhost response message makes its handler contract test fail.

The full workspace run reaches 827 passing node tests and retains the pre-existing macOS process/deadline harness failures documented in the prior PR validation. Three additional fixture-start failures from the loaded run pass individually; the changed mirror, webhook, and peer suites are green, and Linux CI is the authoritative full-suite run.

Before you request review

  • Scope is one logical change; no unrelated churn
  • cargo test --workspace passes locally (pre-existing macOS process/deadline harness failures remain; affected suites pass)
  • New behavior is covered by tests (required for fixes)
  • cargo fmt --all and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings are clean
  • Commit titles use Conventional Commits (feat(...), fix(...), docs(...))
  • Docs / .env.example updated if behavior or config changed (N/A: no runtime config added)
  • Checked existing PRs so this isn't a duplicate

Notes for reviewers

Deliberate non-goals for B1a:

  • no background fetch worker or webhook
  • no API, GraphQL, or CLI route
  • no push/write draining or authority enforcement
  • no upstream PR writeback
  • no automatic sync change
  • no live-node or production database change

The persistence methods remain unwired in runtime behavior in this slice. A future fetch worker must independently validate every resolved address and disable or validate redirects to close DNS-rebinding and redirect SSRF paths.

125-148: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider restricting the upstream host before a fetch path consumes this URL.

The function blocks credentials, non-HTTPS schemes, queries, and fragments. It still accepts https://127.0.0.1/x, https://169.254.169.254/x, and internal hostnames. This PR does not fetch the URL, so nothing is exploitable yet. When the mirror worker lands, an operator- or API-supplied upstream becomes an SSRF vector, and redirects must be constrained too.

Add the host policy here so both the configuration API and the worker share one gate.

Reviewed at 92997b3. The state machine holds up: I enumerated RepoMirrorState::validate against
the v30 CHECK in both directions and found no divergence, and the IS TRUE wrapper is doing real
work, since removing it lets a NULL status through and turns
database_constraint_rejects_partial_or_insecure_mirror_state red. The migration pair is sound too.
run_pending_migrations opens a transaction per entry (crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:490-547),
so v31's VALIDATE genuinely does not inherit v30's ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock rather than just
claiming not to, and slots 30 and 31 are free: main tops out at v17 and the open branches hold
18-25, 24, and 26-29. Every existing repos writer uses an explicit column list that omits the new
columns, so existing rows land in the all-NULL branch untouched.

The two fixes in 92997b3 both check out. COALESCE(mirror_updated_at, $3) is right, and the retry
arm only matches rows whose upstream_url is already non-NULL so the initial write still takes $3.
The try_get conversion comes with a test that actually drives a NULL timestamp through the decoder,
and I confirmed it is load-bearing by putting the panicking get back, which turns it red.

Two things left.

Findings

  • [P2] Gate the upstream URL on is_public_http_url, as the other four outbound-URL sinks do
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:137
    validate_mirror_upstream_url checks that a host is present, never what class it is, so
    https://127.0.0.1/o/r, https://[::1]/o/r, https://169.254.169.254/o/r, https://10.0.0.5/o/r
    and https://forge.internal/o/r are all accepted and stored. This node already has the gate for
    exactly this input class: is_public_http_url (api/peers.rs:109) rejects loopback, unspecified,
    private, link-local, localhost/.local/.internal, and IPv4 smuggled through mapped,
    compatible, 6to4 and NAT64 v6 literals. Four sinks route through it today, two of them in this
    same file (db/mod.rs:2507, db/mod.rs:2732, api/webhooks.rs:48, api/peers.rs:250). Nothing
    dereferences the URL in this slice, which is why this is P2 and not P1. It still belongs here
    rather than in the fetch-worker PR, because accepting only safe upstreams is what this slice is
    for, and the worker will treat a stored upstream_url as already validated. Add the call after
    the scheme check. I applied it locally to check the claim rather than assert it: with the call
    plus seven host-class cases added to upstream_url_rejects_unsafe_or_ambiguous_forms the suite is
    10 passed, and without the call those same cases fail on
    unsafe mirror URL was accepted: "https://127.0.0.1/Gitlawb/node.git". The three legitimate forge
    URLs still pass either way.

  • [P2] Rename the peer-mirror test to what it proves, and give the property it names a real guard
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:3795
    peer_mirror_rows_cannot_become_continuous_upstreams never reaches Postgres. upsert_mirror_repo
    builds its id as format!("{owner_short}/{name}") (db/mod.rs:1296), so the fixture id is
    z6MkPeer/repo, and Uuid::parse_str rejects it as the first statement of
    configure_inbound_mirror before any SQL runs. The test is load-bearing, just not on its name:
    deleting that parse turns it red, so what it pins is "the repo id must be a UUID". Peer-mirror
    rows are excluded only as a side effect of canonical repos using Uuid::new_v4
    (api/repos.rs:269, :2798), and nothing in the schema records that coupling. Rename it to the
    UUID rule and assert the error text, then add a case that observes the peer row afterwards
    (get_repo_mirror_state is None, upstream_url still NULL) instead of only the return value.

Not asks, recorded so they are not rediscovered later. The read path re-runs validate() on every
decode, and that call site is reached on every read, but no test drives a row it rejects, so the
fail-closed decode claim has no case behind it yet; the cheapest one is a row the CHECK accepts and
the Rust validator does not, such as a credential-bearing upstream_url. configure_inbound_mirror
has no owner check, which is the right shape for this layer given create_repo and
upsert_mirror_repo do the same, but the route that wires it must resolve the repo and gate on
ownership before calling. And the status and phase vocabularies now live in four hand-maintained
copies (enum variants, the from_db arms, the SQL IN lists, and the test's own array) with nothing
deriving one from another.

Worth knowing separately: the workflow run on this head is still awaiting approval, so the checks
showing green are only the triage job and the suite has not actually run on 92997b3.

@beardthelion Addressed both requested changes in 5b9e06d: (1) mirror persistence now gates upstream URLs through the shared public-host policy, with direct regression coverage for loopback/private/link-local/internal/.localhost and IPv4-embedded IPv6 forms; (2) the peer-row test now names the canonical UUID invariant, asserts the exact guard error, and proves the stored peer row remains unchanged. Both tests were mutation-checked, focused suites pass (mirror 10/10, peers 40/40), workspace clippy is clean, and the release build passes. The fresh fork CI run is awaiting maintainer approval.

Re-reviewed at 1b7639f0, and CI is green now that I approved the gated run: 13 of 13, including MSRV and both test jobs.

Both asks from the last round land, and I re-ran the previous round's checks on this head rather than carrying them forward. The public-host gate is doing real work: removing the is_public_http_url call turns upstream_url_rejects_unsafe_or_ambiguous_forms red on unsafe mirror URL was accepted, and each of the eleven new host-class cases fails on that specific gate rather than on the scheme, path, credential or whitespace checks above it, which I checked by asserting each one's error message rather than by reading the order. I also pushed forms the case list does not name: decimal, octal, hex, 127.1, uppercase, and a trailing dot are all rejected. The renamed test reaches Uuid::parse_str, pins the message, and observes the peer row; deleting the gate turns it red. Reverting the IS TRUE wrapper, the COALESCE, or the decoder's error propagation each still turns its own test red on this head, and dropping upstream_url from v30 turns the mirror suite red, so the slice's premise is covered rather than merely surrounded by tests.

Two things to fix.

Findings

  • [P2] Drop the constraint before adding it, instead of skipping when the name already exists
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:1051
    v30 guards the ADD CONSTRAINT with a name-only pg_constraint lookup, so any pre-existing constraint called repos_mirror_state_valid is treated as equivalent regardless of what it checks. If a weaker one is present, v30 silently skips the real definition, v31 validates the impostor, and both versions record as applied while the invariant is gone. I reproduced it: install CHECK (TRUE) NOT VALID under that name, clear the 30/31 rows, re-run the migration runner, and a transitioning status with NULL transition metadata is accepted, with pg_get_constraintdef reading CHECK (true) and both versions recorded. Add ALTER TABLE repos DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS repos_mirror_state_valid; immediately before the ADD and the guard stops depending on the name meaning what it says; I ran that and the same probe then rejects the malformed row with the full constraint installed, mirror suite 13 passed. Worth closing here specifically because this is the first ADD CONSTRAINT in the tree, so its shape is the one the next migration copies.

  • [P3] Add the localhost classes to the webhook rejection message
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/webhooks.rs:50
    Widening is_public_http_url changed what two user-facing messages describe, and only the announce one was updated. The webhook 400 still reads "no loopback, private, or .internal/.local hosts" while the validator behind it now also rejects localhost and .localhost. Nothing pins that body in a test, which is why it drifted while peers.rs:253 was fixed. Align the wording, or have is_public_http_url own the description so the two cannot diverge again.

Two notes, neither an ask. The validator also runs on the read path through RepoMirrorState::validate, so tightening it retroactively turns a stored row that no longer passes into a read error rather than a filtered-out mirror; correct direction, and inert while configure_inbound_mirror is the only writer and is unwired. And embedded_ipv4 decodes mapped, compatible, 6to4 and NAT64 but not the deprecated RFC 2765 ::ffff:0:a.b.c.d form, so https://[::ffff:0:7f00:1]/o/r.git is accepted where the standard mapped spelling is rejected. That predates this PR, and I do not think it is a working bypass since that address is not a loopback alias on Linux, but I have not confirmed that with a connect.

@beardthelion Addressed both findings in a6d8459 after a fresh multi-angle review. v30 now drops any same-named constraint before installing the exact invariant, with a PostgreSQL regression that seeds CHECK (TRUE), reapplies v30/v31, verifies the real definition, and proves malformed transition state is rejected. The public URL requirement text is now shared by peer and webhook handlers, with a handler-level .localhost 400/no-write regression. Mutation checks prove both fixes are load-bearing. Local verification: mirror 11/11, webhook 3/3, peers 41/41, strict workspace clippy, formatting, diff check, and locked release build pass. Full workspace reached 827 passing node tests; three load-sensitive fixture-start failures passed individually, while the remaining six are the previously baseline-reproduced macOS process/deadline set. Ready for re-review.

The constraint replacement is doing real work, and I proved it with the mutation that actually discriminates: restoring the old name-only DO $$ IF NOT EXISTS $$ guard in full, which is the shape a later editor would write. migration_replaces_a_same_named_weaker_constraint then fails on its own assertion, migration preserved an impostor constraint: CHECK (true), with the other ten mirror tests still green. Deleting the DROP line instead would have been the obvious mutation and the wrong one: it collides on the duplicate name and reddens at the fixture's unwrap, which proves nothing about the property. On the message, taking the shared-const option rather than editing the sentence is the better of the two I offered. peers.rs:1554 still pins the composed announce string byte for byte, and no copy of the old webhook sentence survives anywhere in the tree.

I re-ran the previous rounds' certifications on this head rather than carrying them forward: eleven mutations, ten load-bearing. The IS TRUE wrapper, v31's VALIDATE, the mirror public-host gate, the canonical-UUID gate, the COALESCE idempotence, the SQL https prefix, the credential check, and the persistence premise itself each still redden their own test.

Three things worth recording, none of them an ask.

The first is mine rather than yours. Dropping the name guard changed what a partial replay does. Delete only the version 30 row from schema_migrations and restart, and v30 re-runs while v31 is skipped because its row is still there, so the constraint comes back NOT VALID: I ran it, convalidated goes true then false, new writes stay enforced and pre-existing rows stop being covered. Reaching that needs hand-editing the migrations table, so it does not change the verdict, but the comment the old guard carried about keeping manual recovery safe was describing a property that is now gone.

The second is the read-path validator, and it is the one I would carry into the fetch-worker slice. row_to_repo_mirror_state re-runs validate() on every decode and the PR describes that as failing closed on malformed rows. Removing the call leaves the whole mirror suite green. Forcing that same line to error reddens it, so the call site is reached and the guard is genuinely unbound rather than unreachable: nothing supplies a row the CHECK accepts and the Rust validator rejects. The cheapest case is still the one I named in the first round, a credential-bearing upstream_url, which passes LIKE 'https://%' and fails validate_mirror_upstream_url. It has no production caller in this slice, so it belongs with the code that wires the read.

The third is the host gate this PR extends rather than owns. (s[0] & 0xffc0) == 0xfe80 does not match fec0::/10, so deprecated site-local literals are accepted alongside the ::ffff:0:a.b.c.d form I mentioned last round, and nothing resolves a hostname, so a name pointing at 169.254.169.254 passes every check. The trailing-dot strip handles one dot, so localhost.. also comes through, though it does not resolve here and I would not call it a bypass without driving it through the client. The .local and .internal checks are suffix tests, so the bare labels miss them: http://local/, http://internal/, http://intranet/, http://wpad/ and http://metadata/ are all accepted while their dotted forms are rejected, and a single-label name resolves through whatever search domain the node is configured with. All of those predate this PR and your own notes already scope address validation to the fetch worker, so they are mine to fix and I will take them separately rather than hold this one.

One more in the same family, since the widening is retroactive: prune_non_public_peers sweeps peer rows that were poisoned before announce-time validation existed, and webhooks have no equivalent, so a row registered before this tightening is still delivered to. Owner-gated and pre-existing, so it goes with the rest rather than here.

Two nits if you are in the file again: !definition.eq_ignore_ascii_case("CHECK (true)") cannot fail once the contains check passes, and the CHECK (( body kept its inner indentation from when it was nested inside the DO block.

Merging waits on jatmn's review; my approval is not sufficient on its own.
