Current exact boundary

  • protected base: main@47c6fd27de13b0da37a7db64697b869941909351
  • exact head: d1763d7891249740eac46a5609d6becd01a203ea
  • compare: ahead_by=7, behind_by=0, merge base = protected main
  • lifecycle: Draft / source repair present / exact-head hosted evidence non-terminal
  • effective protected-base delta: CHANGELOG.md, saas_web.py, tests/test_saas_web.py

.jules/sentinel.md is now byte-for-byte identical to protected main blob 9c9d083b81bafb94b5ca13763da15304c6eb89a7; the generated repository-wide Unicode/API-key doctrine is not part of this product/security slice.

RED → causal repair

The authentication middleware compared configured keys and untrusted X-API-Key values through hmac.compare_digest(str, str). Python's string comparison path can raise TypeError for non-ASCII strings, so a malformed non-ASCII request header could escape the intended authentication-failure path and become a server error.

This branch converts both compared values to UTF-8 bytes at the API-key comparison boundary and retains constant-time comparison. The focused regression keeps the configured key ASCII, supplies a non-ASCII request key, and requires 401 {"error": "Invalid or missing API key"} rather than a 500 path. CHANGELOG.md now records the buyer-visible failure-boundary correction.

Claim boundary

This is not a contract for arbitrary Unicode API keys. The scoped guarantee is that invalid non-ASCII request input does not make the authentication comparison throw and instead fails closed as an invalid key. No sustained-DoS severity claim is made without load/availability evidence, and the UTF-8 conversion is not generalized into a repository-wide comparison rule.

Exact-head evidence

Fresh workflows on d1763d7891249740eac46a5609d6becd01a203ea are non-terminal: CodeQL PR 33943476137 is pending; SAST Semgrep 33943476091, fuzz 33943476107, CI 33943476112, and Security Scan 33943476177 are queued. Predecessor/local evidence does not transfer.

Keep Draft until one unchanged exact head has all applicable CI/fuzz/security/SAST/CodeQL evidence terminal-success, zero valid unresolved findings, and qualifying current review under live governance. No self-approval, bypass, gate weakening, force-push, destructive rebase, or no-op retrigger.

Verified-successor consolidation against canonical Draft #520 at exact 08d1c3ca20e3e41a703ac9e5c5aea6f702962d2d.

#530's remaining valid delta is exactly the invalid-non-ASCII credential contract: the request must not escape the authentication boundary through hmac.compare_digest(str, str), must not reach the protected handler, and must return the normal 401 error; its CHANGELOG entry records that buyer-visible behavior. #520 fully inherits and strengthens that contract from the raw ASGI boundary: raw bytes are compared to configured UTF-8 bytes, the existing high-bit/non-ASCII 401 regression remains, configured Unicode credentials have a positive success contract, wrong Unicode credentials reject, duplicate X-API-Key authority fails closed, and CHANGELOG records the credential boundary.

The one-line request.headers.get(...).encode('utf-8') implementation here is deliberately not inherited because it makes the framework-decoded string an authentication authority and is weaker than #520's raw-header contract. No unique test, fixture, user-visible contract, or doctrine remains solely in #530.

Closing only because the valid semantic/test/CHANGELOG delta is completely represented by #520; #520 remains Draft for its credential-registry governance finding and exact-head CodeQL owner-path repair.
