Part of #215. Foundation only — additive, no behavior change.

Summary

Async deep-research jobs routinely outlive the ID token captured at submission, so authenticated tool calls inside the worker 401 mid-run and the job fails. The fix (issue #215) is to hold the user's refresh token server-side and refresh on demand. Per @AjayThorve's request on the issue ("land the TokenStore abstraction first; #217 adds an MCPTokenStore sibling"), this PR lands only the storage foundation that the rest of that work — and #217's per-user MCP auth — will build on. Nothing is wired into the live auth flow yet, so no existing behavior changes.

What's included

  • TokenStore — a minimal pluggable ABC (put / get / delete keyed by session id), so an MCPTokenStore sibling keyed by (user_sub, mcp_server_id) can reuse the shape.
  • SqlTokenStore — default implementation over the job-store database (NAT_JOB_STORE_DB_URL). Schema: (session_id, user_sub, refresh_token_encrypted, id_token_expires_at, refresh_token_expires_at, updated_at). Writes use a single dialect-native INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE (SQLite/Postgres) so concurrent writers for the same session can't race; blocking DB calls run off the event loop; the table is defined once (no per-op reflection).
  • TokenCipher — AES-256-GCM with a versioned, self-describing envelope, keyed by a separate AIQ_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY (mirroring AIQ_CONTENT_ENCRYPTION_KEY, so token and content encryption rotate independently) and AAD-bound to the session id so a ciphertext row can't be moved to another session. Decrypt validates the envelope (algorithm label, field types, nonce length) before use.
  • get_token_store() — returns None when AIQ_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is unset (feature disabled → today's freeze-at-submission behavior, a graceful skip, never plaintext), and raises TokenEncryptionConfigError when the key is set-but-invalid so a misconfig fails loudly. Caches the store per database URL.

Deliberately out of scope (follow-ups)

  • Persisting the refresh token in the OAuth callback
  • The refresh-on-demand path inside get_auth_token()
  • The mid-job refresh-failure job event

Open questions for reviewers (also raised on #215)

  1. OK to reuse NAT_JOB_STORE_DB_URL for the store's table, or prefer a dedicated URL?
  2. Separate AIQ_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY vs. reusing the content key — I went separate for independent rotation/scoping.

Test plan

  • pytest tests/aiq_agent/auth/test_token_cipher.py test_token_store.py — cipher round-trip, AAD binding incl. a DB-row swap attack, envelope/algorithm-downgrade validation, encryption-at-rest (raw column has no plaintext), atomic-upsert idempotency, factory gating (disabled/unset vs fail-loud invalid), store caching
  • Full tests/aiq_agent/auth/ suite — 39 pass, no regressions
  • ruff check + ruff format --check clean

Foundational piece for server-side token refresh on long-running async
jobs (issue NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints#215). Async deep-research jobs routinely outlive the ID
token captured at submission, so authenticated tool calls 401 mid-run;
the fix is to hold the user's refresh token server-side and refresh on
demand. This change lands only the storage abstraction that the rest of
that work (login callback, refresh-on-demand in get_auth_token) builds
on, and that issue NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints#217's MCPTokenStore sibling can reuse.

- TokenStore: a minimal pluggable ABC (put/get/delete by session id).
- SqlTokenStore: default implementation over the job-store database
  (NAT_JOB_STORE_DB_URL), schema (session_id, user_sub,
  refresh_token_encrypted, id/refresh expiries, updated_at). Blocking DB
  calls run in a thread executor.
- TokenCipher: AES-256-GCM with a versioned envelope, keyed by a separate
  AIQ_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY (mirrors AIQ_CONTENT_ENCRYPTION_KEY) and bound
  to the session id via AAD so ciphertext rows can't be swapped.
- get_token_store(): returns None when AIQ_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is unset,
  so refresh tokens are never written in plaintext and callers fall back
  to today's behavior — a graceful skip, not a crash or a leak.

This is purely additive: nothing wires it into the live auth flow yet, so
no existing behavior changes. 31 auth tests pass (cipher round-trip, AAD
binding incl. a DB-row swap attack, encryption-at-rest, upsert, factory
gating); ruff clean.

Security hardening on the TokenStore foundation:

- TokenCipher.decrypt now validates envelope metadata before use: rejects
  a tampered algorithm label (prevents a silent downgrade on an otherwise
  valid ciphertext), non-string or missing nonce/ct fields (previously
  escaped as a raw TypeError), and a wrong-length nonce.
- SqlTokenStore upsert is now a single dialect-native INSERT ... ON
  CONFLICT DO UPDATE (SQLite/Postgres) instead of delete-then-insert, so
  concurrent writers for the same session id can't race the gap.
- get_token_store distinguishes an unset key (feature disabled -> None,
  graceful) from a key that is set but invalid (raises
  TokenEncryptionConfigError) so a misconfigured deployment fails loudly
  instead of silently degrading to no-op storage. It also caches the
  store per database URL to reuse one engine.

Tests: isolated coverage for the algorithm-downgrade and non-string-field
guards (each fails if its guard is removed), the fail-loud invalid-key
path, and store caching; switched temp DBs from mktemp to a securely
created directory. 39 auth tests pass; ruff clean.

Signed-off-by: Torkian <torkian@mac.com>
SqlTokenStore rebuilt the Table with autoload_with=engine on every put/
get/delete, issuing a synchronous schema-reflection round-trip per call.
Define the schema once in __init__ (_build_schema) and reuse self._table
for all operations; _ensure_table now creates from that same metadata.
No behavior change; 26 auth-store/cipher tests pass, ruff clean.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds AES-256-GCM token encryption with session-bound AAD, a SQL-backed store for encrypted refresh tokens, a cached environment-gated factory, tests, and auth-package re-exports.

Changes

Encrypted refresh token storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
TokenCipher envelope encryption
src/aiq_agent/auth/token_cipher.py, tests/aiq_agent/auth/test_token_cipher.py
Adds versioned AES-256-GCM envelopes, strict key and envelope validation, session-bound AAD, configuration detection, and encryption tests.
SqlTokenStore persistence and factory
src/aiq_agent/auth/token_store.py, tests/aiq_agent/auth/test_token_store.py
Adds StoredToken and TokenStore, encrypted SQL upsert/get/delete operations, async executor wiring, per-URL caching, environment gating, cache reset support, and persistence tests.
Package re-exports
src/aiq_agent/auth/__init__.py
Re-exports token encryption APIs, encryption errors and status, token store types, and get_token_store.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ee14

The new token-store foundation introduces bounded runtime and correctness risks: schema setup can block async work, in-memory SQLite may fail across worker threads, and stored expiry timestamps may lose timezone information and later cause comparison errors. The PR should not merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

AI-Q Agent Guidance

Repository-global instructions for coding agents and for humans reviewing
agent-authored changes. These rules apply to every task in this repository.
Task-specific runbooks live in .agents/skills/ — load the
relevant skill before starting a workflow it covers.

Project overview

AI-Q is an NVIDIA AI Blueprint: an enterprise research agent built on the
NeMo Agent Toolkit (NAT). The deployed product is a research blueprint, not
a general skill runtime. New retrieval sources and tools are NAT functions;
agent behavior is driven by workflow YAML, Jinja2 prompts, and a data-source
registry — not by hard-coded logic.

Primary boundaries:

  • Backend Python package: src/aiq_agent/.
  • Data-source and tool packages: sources/ (each is its own package).
  • Frontends and tooling: frontends/ (web UI in frontends/ui/, eval harnesses
    in frontends/benchmarks/).
  • Configs, deployment, docs: configs/, deploy/, docs/.

Stay inside this repository. If your workspace also contains adjacent repos
(for example a sibling NeMo-Relay checkout), do not edit them as part of an AI-Q
change. Treat sources/* as independent packages: prefer the smallest change
scoped to the package you are touching.

Repository structure

Path Purpose

54-83: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Confirm identity provenance when this is wired up.

StoredToken.user_sub/session_id and the TokenStore interface are pure storage here (no client input reaches them in this PR, consistent with the stated out-of-scope). When the follow-up PR wires the OAuth callback and get_auth_token() refresh-on-demand into this store, make sure session_id/user_sub are always populated from server-validated identity (verified ID token claims / server-issued session id), never from client-supplied request fields, per the auth path guidance on not blurring trusted server-side identity with client-supplied data.

Source: Path instructions


50-51: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Guard token-store cache initialization. get_token_store() should serialize first-write population of _store_cache; concurrent callers can otherwise create duplicate SqlTokenStore instances and leave one engine/pool orphaned.

Move schema initialization off the event loop.

SqlTokenStore.__init__ calls _ensure_table() synchronously, and get_token_store() constructs it synchronously on a cache miss. Database inspection or DDL can block the event loop when an async authentication path calls the factory. Initialize the schema during startup or dispatch it through the executor.

SQLAlchemy 2.0 SQLite in-memory database SingletonThreadPool StaticPool check_same_thread documentation

💡 Result:

In SQLAlchemy 2.0, an SQLite:memory: database exists only within the scope of a single DBAPI connection [1][2]. Because of this, handling multithreaded access or connection pooling requires specific configurations [1]. SingletonThreadPool and StaticPool SingletonThreadPool is the default pool used by the SQLAlchemy SQLite dialect when a:memory: database is specified [2][3]. It maintains one connection per thread, meaning each thread accesses its own independent in-memory database [2][3]. StaticPool is an alternative that maintains a single, global connection shared across all threads [2][4]. It is primarily intended for use in single-threaded test suites [1]. Because it shares one connection, all threads share the same database state; consequently, operations like ROLLBACK in one session can interfere with others [1]. check_same_thread Configuration The SQLite DBAPI (pysqlite) enforces a threading check by default that prohibits sharing connections across threads [2][3]. - When using SingletonThreadPool (default for:memory:), check_same_thread defaults to True [2][3]. - When using StaticPool to share a connection across threads, you must explicitly set check_same_thread=False in the connect_args to override this restriction [2]. Recommended Approach for Concurrency For concurrent workloads requiring a shared:memory: database, SQLAlchemy recommends using SQLite's shared-cache mode rather than relying on custom pooling [1][4]. This is achieved by using a URI connection string: sqlite:///:memory:?cache=shared&uri=true [1][3]. When this URI is used, the dialect treats it as a file-based database, automatically uses QueuePool, and defaults check_same_thread to False, allowing multiple connections to access the same in-memory database safely with independent transaction states [1][3].

Citations:


Use StaticPool for in-memory SQLite.

For sqlite:///:memory:, SQLAlchemy’s default SingletonThreadPool gives each thread a separate database. _ensure_table() creates auth_token_store on the constructor thread, while CRUD runs in executor threads. CRUD can therefore fail with no such table: auth_token_store. Configure StaticPool with check_same_thread=False for in-memory SQLite and add an asynchronous CRUD test.

SQLAlchemy 2.0 SQLite DateTime(timezone=True) timezone information round trip official documentation

💡 Result:

In SQLAlchemy 2.0, the DateTime(timezone=True) type does not provide native timezone support when used with SQLite [1][2]. Because SQLite lacks a native datetime type and stores these values as ISO-formatted strings [1][3], it does not natively track or persist timezone information [4]. When you use DateTime(timezone=True) with the SQLite dialect, SQLAlchemy does not automatically perform timezone conversion or persist timezone offsets in the database string [4]. If you need to handle timezone-aware datetimes with SQLite, the official recommendation is to either: 1. Manually coerce timezone-aware datetime objects to UTC before storing them and convert them back to your target timezone upon retrieval [4]. 2. Use a custom type or alternative storage strategy, such as storing the timezone offset as a separate column or using a custom type to handle the serialization and deserialization logic [4]. The timezone=True flag in SQLAlchemy is generally intended for database backends that natively support timezone-aware timestamps (like PostgreSQL) [5][4]. Using this flag on SQLite will not result in error-free "round-tripping" of timezone data [4]. If you require precise timezone handling, custom implementation or ensuring all data is normalized to UTC within your application logic before interacting with the database is required [4].

Citations:


Preserve timezone information in SQLite.

SQLite does not preserve timezone information for SQLAlchemy DateTime(timezone=True). _get_sync returns these values without normalization, so get() may return naive datetimes for UTC-aware inputs. Comparisons with datetime.now(UTC) may then raise TypeError. Normalize values to UTC on write and restore UTC on SQLite reads, or store epoch values. Extend the round-trip test to assert timestamp equality and tzinfo.

Hi @torkian, thank you for your contribution. On reviewing it, here are my thoughts: While issue #215 is valid, there is no reproduction, incident data, and so on. We also mitigate this currently by proactively refreshing NextAuth sessions before expiry. Additionally, this PR doesn't wire anything into production.

Other issues:

For these reasons, we will be closing this PR. Please raise a follow-up if you continue to see #215. Thanks!

Thanks for the thorough review, @cdgamarose-nv — the critique is fair and I agree with closing this.

A few points I want to acknowledge directly:

Given all that, closing is the right call — I'd rather not land an additive scaffold that breaks on the supported DB URL and doesn't finish the job.

If #215 resurfaces past the proactive NextAuth refresh, I'll raise a fresh, properly-scoped PR with repro/incident data — a full-token record, async-safe engine + URL normalization, and a distributed single-flight lease for refresh. Appreciate the detailed feedback; it's genuinely useful.
