Adds ReceiptStore with idempotent delivery recording, monotonic seen timestamps, queries, pruning, SQLite initialization, migrations, and WAL configuration tests.
Service and remote receipt operations
taosmd/service.py, taosmd/remote.py, taosmd/admin.py, tests/test_remote.py
Adds local and remote receipt operations, administrative pruning, public exports, and token-authenticated remote coverage.
HTTP receipt routes and delivery tracking
taosmd/http_server.py, tests/test_admin_surface.py, tests/test_http_server_registry_auth.py
Adds receipt routes, PATCH dispatch, registry-token identity checks, authenticated SSE delivery recording, admin-token pruning, validation, and authorization tests.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 3052b

This change adds receipt recording and retrieval, but the current implementation can let callers record receipts for another agent, reject valid authenticated requests under some configurations, return errors instead of treating missing receipts as absent, and crash when timestamps are omitted. These data-integrity, authentication, and availability risks should be fixed before merging.

[CRITICAL]: Parameter name mismatch - a2a_prune_receipts sends older_than_ts but server expects ttl_days

The remote client sends {"older_than_ts": older_than_ts} to /a2a/admin/prune-receipts, but the server handler reads body.get("ttl_days") and computes its own older_than_ts from ttl_days. The caller's intended timestamp is silently ignored, and the server always defaults to pruning 30-day-old receipts.

[WARNING]: Unhandled exception from runner.run() crashes the SSE stream

Inside _handle_a2a_stream, the runner.run(service.a2a_record_delivered(...)) call is not wrapped in a try/except. If the service raises (database error, loop shutdown), the exception propagates out of the SSE handler, crashing the request thread and disconnecting the client without a clean shutdown.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use one verified identity gate for all receipt writes.

The explicit POST handlers trust the body agent_id. A caller can record delivered or seen receipts for another agent. This bypasses the identity protection in PATCH /a2a/receipts.

Also, when _server_token and _registry_verifier are both configured, Line 937 rejects a valid registry JWT before PATCH reaches _get_authenticated_agent_id. Supplying the server token then produces no verified sub.

Bind receipt writes to a verified token sub, or restrict trusted delivery writes to an internal/admin-only path. Make the dispatch gate accept the registry-authenticated PATCH route without opening it when registry verification is unavailable. Add coverage for forged POST identities and for a server configured with both token systems.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the 404 before returning the receipt.

_request_json raises RuntimeError for HTTP 404. Lines 288-289 never run. A missing remote receipt therefore raises instead of returning None.

Catch a status-aware HTTP exception, or preserve the HTTP status in _request_json, and return None only for 404. Add a missing-receipt integration test.

Import time before using default receipt timestamps.

a2a_record_delivered() and a2a_record_seen() call time.time() when ts is omitted, but time is not defined. This raises NameError before persistence. PATCH /a2a/receipts calls a2a_record_seen() without ts.

All five blockers from #232 are fixed. BLOCKED on one new one: PATCH /a2a/receipts 500s for every real caller.

Reviewed on head 3052bc4. 97 of 98 pass in the four affected suites (the one failure is
pre-existing, see the end).

NEW BLOCKER: the headline endpoint raises NameError on every authenticated call

taosmd/service.py uses time.time() twice and never imports time:

service.py:641   ts = time.time()      (a2a_record_seen)
service.py:664   ts = time.time()      (a2a_record_delivered)
imports of time in service.py: NONE

Called directly, with the explicit-ts path as the control:

a2a_record_seen(1, "agent-1", data_dir=d)                  -> *** NameError: name 'time' is not defined ***
a2a_record_seen(1, "agent-1", ts=1786000000.0, data_dir=d) -> {'ok': True}

The control is what makes this precise: the store, the schema and the write all work. It is only
the default-ts line that is unbound.

Blast radius is exactly one endpoint, and it is the primary one. Of the four call sites, three
pass ts explicitly and are fine:

http_server.py:1650  SSE delivered      ts=time.time()   OK (http_server does import time)
http_server.py:1734  POST /a2a/receipts/delivered  ts=ts  OK
http_server.py:1759  POST /a2a/receipts/seen       ts=ts  OK
http_server.py:1682  PATCH /a2a/receipts           no ts   <-- 500 NameError

PATCH /a2a/receipts is the one documented at line 111 as "mark message seen by authenticated
agent"
.

Why the suite is green on it. The only test that reaches that handler is
test_patch_receipts_seen_rejects_forged_token, which asserts 401 and so returns before the
service call. Nothing exercises the success path of this endpoint. That is the same shape as
#232's blocker 2 (a routed endpoint whose handler could not work), which is why I want it fixed
here rather than carried.

Fix is one line (import time in service.py) plus a test that PATCHes with a valid token
and asserts 200 and a stored receipt. Attribution is clean: master's service.py has neither the
import nor any time.time() use, so both arrived with this PR.

The five original blockers are all fixed

1. Forgeable receipt identity: FIXED. _get_authenticated_agent_id now returns the sub from
_registry_verifier.authorize(token, claimed_identity) and returns None on AuthError. The
unverified decode survives, but only to supply the claimed_identity argument that authorize
requires; the returned identity comes from the verified claims.

A note on how I nearly got this wrong. verify_signature: False appears twice on the base
and twice on this revision
, so a grep count is identical under "fixed" and "not fixed" and
proves nothing either way. #252 was blocked partly on that count. Here the count is unchanged and
the defect is genuinely gone. What settles it is where the returned value comes from.

The PR ships a real behavioural test for this (test_patch_receipts_seen_rejects_forged_token
signs with an unknown key and asserts 401), and it passes. I confirmed the guard is what rejects
by patching only the identity source to trust the unverified sub, changing nothing else, and
watching the test stop returning 401.

2. POST /a2a/admin/prune-receipts had no handler: FIXED. Route (1101), handler (2231),
service call (2247), admin-route list (789) and RemoteClient.a2a_prune_receipts (292) are all
present.

3. Service wrappers forwarding to absent remote methods: FIXED. Cross-checked mechanically
rather than by eye:

service.py calls 28 remote methods; remote.py defines 29; MISSING: none
RemoteClient call paths: 28; UNROUTED: none
(control: a method known to be absent is reported by the same check)

4. No tests: FIXED. 138 test lines across four files, and the forgery test is behavioural
rather than structural, which is the right call for an auth guard.

5. receipts.py bypassing _db.connect: FIXED. Now from ._db import connect, so it gets
WAL and the busy timeout like every other store.

Not a regression from this PR

test_search_token_project_id_scopes_results fails locally on this branch and identically on
master
, with the embed-backend warning. It is the known live-embed-backend class, not something
this PR broke. Worth a separate look though: #251 added the live_embed_backend fixture to skip
that family, both refs have the fixture, and this test still fails without a backend, so it may
have been missed when that net was cast.

Closing so tsk-qo6tpb can be redispatched. The findings stand; this is a mechanism fix, not a verdict change.

My review above is blocking and unchanged. The reason for closing is structural rather than
anything about the work: next_card.py:32 excludes any card whose exec/* PR is open, so
while this PR sits here tsk-qo6tpb cannot be claimed by anything and the fix has no route.
A blocked PR freezes the very card that needs redoing.

Closing frees it the same minute. This is measured, not assumed: when I closed the four no-op
revision PRs earlier tonight, tsk-pg7p4b and tsk-aildfj were redispatched and came back as real
revisions (#260, #261).

Nothing is lost. GitHub keeps the review comments on a closed PR, the branch is untouched,
and every finding is also recorded in my checkpoint. The next build on tsk-qo6tpb should start from
the review above.

Jay's call, 2026-08-14.
