security(kpi): bind provenance to bounded no-follow snapshot

[seonghobae]

Purpose

Implement issue #370 on protected main 071d116fff8a856809a3553d57506e6e9703b8b4, after #348 merged. Strict KPI provenance currently preserves exact JSON bytes through fatal UTF-8 and duplicate decoded-key validation, but still follows a mutable pathname with an unbounded read.

Test-first RED

Exact RED head b5ffcfd6813ae5c84b4e2507c2aac2c89c92f860 adds deterministic production-entrypoint cases requiring:

• provenance symlinks to fail closed rather than be followed;
• a provenance document exactly one byte above a reviewed 64 KiB ceiling to fail before decoding.

No production source changed on the RED head. Current protected behavior is therefore expected to fail these assertions. The GREEN will preserve #348 malformed UTF-8 / duplicate-key semantics and the existing verified-log snapshot, least-authority child environment, evidence persistence, and final log-identity recheck.

Authority boundary

This is a local retained-file integrity and availability control. It does not prove upstream production provenance, host privilege isolation, revenue/KPI truth, deployment, legal rights, or acquisition readiness. It will not weaken strict KPI mode, follow symlinks, broaden filesystem authority, choose a license, or transfer predecessor checks/reviews.

Related: #370, #348, #104, #110, #3.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• 버그 수정

  • KPI 게이트가 안전하지 않거나 변경된 provenance 파일을 감지해 검증 실패로 처리합니다.
  • 심볼릭 링크, 과도하게 큰 파일(64KiB 초과), 읽기·검증·닫기 오류를 거부합니다.

• 테스트

  • 파일 교체, 읽는 중 변경, 지원되지 않는 기능 등 다양한 오류 상황에 대한 검증을 강화했습니다.

Warning

Review limit reached

@seonghobae, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 54 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

KPI 게이트가 provenance 파일을 readFile 대신 제한된 descriptor 기반 방식으로 읽습니다. 심볼릭 링크, 파일 교체, 크기 초과, 메타데이터 변경, 읽기 및 close 실패를 검증하는 테스트가 추가되었습니다.

Changes

Provenance snapshot hardening

Layer / File(s)	Summary
제한된 descriptor 기반 provenance 읽기 scripts/kpi-gate.mjs	provenance 파일을 O_NOFOLLOW와 읽기 전용 descriptor로 열고, 일반 파일·inode·크기·메타데이터 안정성을 검증합니다. 64KiB를 초과하면 bounded read와 이후 검증을 중단합니다.
기본 provenance 거부 조건 검증 test/kpi-gate-production-coverage.test.ts	심볼릭 링크 provenance와 64KiB 초과 입력이 실패하고 적절한 오류를 기록하는지 검증합니다.
descriptor snapshot 실패 조건 검증 test/kpi-gate-production-read-snapshot-coverage.test.ts	O_NOFOLLOW 미지원, 경로 교체, 파일 성장, metadata 조회 실패, descriptor close 실패를 시뮬레이션하고 실패 동작과 evidence를 검증합니다.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 33980

The PR rejects provenance symlinks and bounds provenance reads to 64 KiB. The supplied evidence shows no actionable merge-blocking risk beyond a localized test-name cleanup, so it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.
