CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Revise PR #327: the carry-forward landed but neither blocker was fixed; ?reader= still overrides the verified token and the archive limit is still missing

Autonomous build of board card tsk-mxjvnb.

Carry forward the PR #320 mention feed work unchanged, then fix both
blockers:

  1. /a2a/mentions now fails closed with 403 when ?reader= does not
    normalise via _normalise_handle to the verified token sub. The
    claimed identity is passed to authorize so the signature check
    is meaningful. A mismatch never leaks the caller's own mentions.

  2. a2a_mentions_feed archive query now carries limit=100_000, matching
    every sibling bus read in service.py. Without it the default 50-row
    cap silently dropped mentions once the bus exceeded 50 messages.

Add two disagreement-control tests: carol's token with ?reader=bob
returns 403 and bob's body is absent; a mention remains visible at
bus size 120.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added an SQLite-backed mention index and A2A mentions feed. The feed supports normalized handles, timestamp and limit filters, same-thread replies, remote access, and authenticated HTTP requests with reader validation.

Changes

A2A mentions feed

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mention indexing and message persistence
taosmd/mentions.py, taosmd/api.py, taosmd/service.py
Added MentionStore. A2A sends now persist recipients and index body and recipient mentions.
Mention feed retrieval
taosmd/service.py, taosmd/remote.py
Added feed validation, normalized reader lookup, same-thread reply expansion, read checks, and remote retrieval.
Authenticated HTTP endpoint and validation
taosmd/http_server.py, tests/test_a2a_mentions.py, changelog.d/*mentions*.md
Added GET /a2a/mentions, token and reader validation, endpoint documentation, and comprehensive tests.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 56910

The current change can still expose mention content to principals whose access grant was removed, omit valid or recent mentions, and fail to record recipient mentions sent through HTTP or remote paths; an authentication failure may also return 500 instead of 403. These are concrete security and correctness risks that should be fixed before merging.

33-44: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a uniqueness constraint and an index for message_id.

Two issues in the schema:

  • mentions has no unique key on (mentioned_handle, message_id). If record_mentions runs twice for the same message (retry, replay, or re-index), the table gets duplicate rows. The feed deduplicates with a set today, so the effect is storage growth and slower queries, not wrong output.
  • get_mention_recipients filters on message_id, which has no index. That query scans the table as the index grows.
♻️ Proposed schema changes
             CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mentions (
                 id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
                 mentioned_handle TEXT NOT NULL,
                 message_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
                 ts REAL NOT NULL,
-                thread TEXT NOT NULL
+                thread TEXT NOT NULL,
+                UNIQUE(mentioned_handle, message_id)
             );
             CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_mentions_handle_ts
                 ON mentions(mentioned_handle, ts);
+            CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_mentions_message_id
+                ON mentions(message_id);

With the constraint in place, use INSERT OR IGNORE in record_mentions. Note that CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS does not add the constraint to an existing database, so plan a migration for installs that already hold a2a-mentions.db.

1671-1676: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use _parse_since for the since query parameter.

/a2a/messages and /a2a/stream both call _parse_since. That helper rejects non-finite values and rejects values below _SINCE_MIN_EPOCH, which catches a message id passed where a timestamp belongs. This handler uses a bare float(), so ?since=42 is accepted and the feed replays from the epoch instead of returning a 400.

The mentions endpoint skips the grants check.

Every peer path pairs identity with permission. _handle_a2a_send calls _grants_verifier.has_grant(from_) at line 1602, and _apply_token_binding calls has_grant at line 945 for the data endpoints. _handle_a2a_mentions verifies the token and the reader match, then serves message bodies without asking whether the principal holds an active grant.

The effect: a principal whose grant was removed, but whose token is still valid and unrevoked, can keep reading mention content. Add the grant check after authorize succeeds, and skip it for human principals as _handle_a2a_send does.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

_ra can be unbound when the except _ra.AuthError clause runs.

from . import registry_auth as _ra sits inside the try block at line 1692, and the except Exception at line 1697 swallows any failure. If that import fails, execution continues with _ra unbound. Line 1703 then raises NameError while handling an auth failure, and the request returns 500 instead of 403.

Move the registry_auth import above the try block. Only the jwt decode needs the broad except.

Also add # noqa: PLC0415 to the from .mentions import _normalise_handle import at line 1707, to match every other function-level import in this file.

The mention query returns the oldest mentions, not the newest.

get_mentioned_message_ids orders by ts ASC and then applies LIMIT. When a reader has more mentions than limit, the query always returns the oldest ones. The newest mentions stay unreachable unless the caller supplies a since cursor. Sibling bus reads take the most recent N rows and then present them oldest-first (see a2a_feed in taosmd/service.py lines 552-559).

Select the newest N rows and reverse them, so the feed shows recent mentions by default.

The final slice can drop mentioned messages.

limit is applied twice: once in get_mentioned_message_ids at line 977 and again at line 1043 after reply-chain expansion. Reply rows share the same budget as mention rows. When a mention thread has many replies, the trailing entries of result are cut, so a mentioned message can be absent from the response even though it matched.

Note that changelog.d/tsk-6icvd4-mentions-feed.md line 5 states that limit is applied once. Align the code and the changelog: either cap only the mention rows and return their full chains, or document that limit caps total returned rows.

can_read ignores all of its arguments and always grants access.

The function is exported in __all__ and reads as a read guard, but it returns True for every input. reader, msg, and data_dir are unused. A future caller can adopt it and get no enforcement.

The docstring states the intent, which is good. Two suggestions:

  • Add the mention-grant half now, using mentions_store.get_mention_recipients plus _find_thread_root, and leave only channelACL as the always-true slot.
  • If the stub must land as-is, mark it with an explicit TODO(tsk-dp6fyv) so it appears in the tracked debt list.

Do you want me to draft the mention-grant implementation?

BLOCK. Both blockers are genuinely fixed; three new defects, one of them a silent regression on master.

Revision card: tsk-u74ivj. Closing under the close-on-block policy. The branch is preserved.

First, what this PR got right, because it is most of the work

Checked against merge-bases, not branch to branch. git merge-base origin/master origin/exec/tsk-mxjvnb = 5693363, real contribution 8 files / +947-4. Trial merge into 746f00f9 clean, no conflict markers.

  • Suite on the trial merge: 1570 passed, 12 skipped. 1543 baseline plus exactly the 27 tests in tests/test_a2a_mentions.py, reconciled exactly, above the 1521 the card required.
  • New test file run UNCHANGED against the old implementation (origin/exec/tsk-wlq4ui): 2 failed, 25 passed. Positive control 25/25; file md5 e032022c identical on both trees. Both required tests really do discriminate.

BLOCKER 1, end to end on the merged tree with the PR's own authed_server fixture:

CONTROL  bob   token, no ?reader=      -> 200 ['secret for @bob']
CONTROL  carol token, no ?reader=      -> 200 ['note for @carol']
CONTROL  carol token, ?reader=carol    -> 200 ['note for @carol']
ARM      carol token, ?reader=bob      -> 403      <- was 200 ['secret for @bob'] on #327
LEAKED "secret for @bob" into carol's response: False

BLOCKER 2: service.py:983 carries limit=100_000, matching its five siblings; the 120-message boundary test fails assert 'old @bob' in [] on the old tree and passes here. All three gates clean apart from the one below.

DEFECT 1 (blocking) — a2a_sender_census is dropped from service.__all__

scripts/check_deleted_symbols.py --base origin/master flags it and it is real. The __all__ line was rewritten to add this PR's two entries and lost an unrelated one in the same edit:

origin/master  service.py:1327   ... "a2a_channels", "a2a_sender_census",
merged #336    service.py:1491   ... "a2a_channels", "a2a_members",

Measured with from taosmd.service import *, controls in both directions:

                      origin/master   merged #336
a2a_sender_census        True            False      <- ARM, regression
a2a_channels             True            True       <- CONTROL, unchanged
a2a_mentions_feed        False           True       <- CONTROL, intended
can_read                 False           True       <- CONTROL, intended

The function, route, RemoteClient method and all four of its tests survive, so hasattr stays True and all 1570 tests still pass. Only the export is gone — a silent public-API regression on a symbol this PR has nothing to do with. One line to restore. Please do not silence the gate with a Removes-Intentionally: trailer; the removal was not intentional.

DEFECT 2 (blocking) — the honest ?reader= round-trip 403s on every non-byte-exact handle

The card required both halves: fail closed on mismatch, and serve a ?reader= that matches under the shared _normalise_handle. Only the first works. _normalise_handle is handle.lstrip("@").casefold(), so all four below normalise to carol; measured with carol's own valid token:

?reader=carol     normalises-to-sub=True  -> 200 ['note for @carol']
?reader=@carol    normalises-to-sub=True  -> 403 "token sub 'carol' does not match from '@carol'"
?reader=Carol     normalises-to-sub=True  -> 403 "token sub 'carol' does not match from 'Carol'"
?reader=@Carol    normalises-to-sub=True  -> 403 "token sub 'carol' does not match from '@Carol'"

http_server.py:1701 passes claimed = qp_reader into authorize, and registry_auth.py:82 compares with a raw if sub != claimed_from:. That raises first, so the _normalise_handle comparison at http_server.py:1706-1710 can never return 403 — it is dead code. The tolerance the card asked for is present in the source and inert.

It is not cosmetic: remote.py:265 forwards reader unconditionally, so the shipped client always takes this path, and local and remote now disagree on the same input —

LOCAL  service.a2a_mentions_feed('carol'|'@carol'|'Carol'|'@Carol')  -> all 4 return ['note for @carol']
HTTP   the same four as ?reader= with a valid matching token         -> 1 served, 3 x 403

A caller who passes @carol works locally and is rejected remotely by an impersonation error naming themselves. Fix by normalising before the identity check; don't loosen registry_auth.authorize, since /a2a/send depends on its strictness.

DEFECT 3 — the leak half of the required 403 test is vacuous, which is why DEFECT 2 hid

tests/test_a2a_mentions.py:567 asserts 403 (that half discriminates) and then asserts bob's body is absent. The setup post cannot store anything:

SEND bob-token / from=agentA    -> 403 "token sub 'bob' does not match from 'agentA'"
SEND agentA-token / from=agentA -> 200

Control: with the same fixture, bob reading his own feed with his own token gets {"messages": []}, and gets the message once the send uses agentA's token. So assert "secret for @bob" not in json.dumps(body) can never fail whatever the endpoint does. The passing sibling at line 525 already uses the matching token.

All three defects are small and precise, each with a required disagreement control. Keep the entire carry-forward and both blocker fixes — they are correct and proven.

Limitations of this review, stated: measurements were taken on a trial merge in a worktree with taosmd.__file__ printed to confirm the tree under test, not on a deployed server. I did not audit the 25 carried-forward tests beyond re-running them, having reviewed them on #327. DEFECT 2's blast radius is judged from remote.py forwarding the parameter unconditionally; I did not enumerate every in-tree caller.

…port dropped by #336 (#349)

Revision of the closed #336. Both of its blockers are fixed and both were measured, not read.

Verified by running this PR's test file UNCHANGED against #336's implementation (swap proven by
md5: test file d392d1f2 on both sides, http_server.py 8a6f6808 vs 7fc4f843):

    on #336's code:   2 failed, 28 passed  -- failing exactly the two blocker arms
      test_all_public_a2a_coroutines_in_all      a2a_sender_census missing from service.__all__
      reader_normalised_handle_accepted          ?reader=@bob -> 403, expected 200
    on the trial merge: 3 passed

__all__ in service.py, reconciled in both directions:

    entries        master 40  ->  trial 42
    added          ['a2a_mentions_feed', 'can_read']
    removed        []                                  <- must be empty, and is
    a2a_sender_census  PRESENT on both                 <- the #336 regression, restored
    a2a_channels       PRESENT on both                 <- control

Gates on the trial merge: deleted-symbols clean, normalise-handle clean, witness clean, no
conflict markers, and no Removes-Intentionally: trailer used to silence the guard.
Suite 1591 passed, 12 skipped -- reconciles as baseline 1561 + the 30 tests this PR adds.

STATED LIMITATIONS.
- test_http_mentions_reader_mismatch_returns_403 passes on #336's implementation too, so it is a
  regression guard, not evidence the 403 blocker was fixed. The one discriminating arm is
  reader_normalised_handle_accepted.
- taosmd/mentions.py:12 imports math and never uses it. Inherited, not introduced: mentions.py is
  byte-identical between #336 and this PR (md5 a8b1f088). No linter exists in the repo to catch it.
  Carded as tsk-vxgjzp rather than blocking correct work.
- ?reader= supplied as an empty string reaches authorize() as claimed=raw_sub and is then rejected
  at the mismatch check. It errs toward 403, so not a hole, but the two paths disagree about what
  an empty reader means.
- Not tested against a production registry verifier; the fixture starts a real HTTP server on a
  real port with real tokens, which is feature-level but not production evidence.
