Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe route-token flow now verifies Chatmux VM tokens and maps valid claims to machine identities. Account access for these identities is restricted to team-visible accounts owned by the same team, with session keys scoped by machine ID.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Chatmux VM tokens are verified and scoped to team-shared accounts, and VM-bound operations reject them as intended. The remaining items are small. A mistyped JWKS URL setting would cause server errors instead of clean rejections. A lint rule flags the identifier regex. Some tests rely on the real clock.

Replace the control-character regex so the repository's Biome check passes.
The checked-in Biome configuration covers web/**, and noControlCharactersInRegex is an error-level recommended rule. The root biome:check script therefore reports this regex. The repository pins Biome 2.5.0; no checked-in CI workflow invokes Biome.

Do not pass Chatmux identities to Cloud VM-only handlers.
authenticateChatmuxMachine produces machine: "chatmux" and vmId: "chatmux:<freestyle id>". requireVmPrincipal sends every non-null ID to loadCloudVmRow, which accepts only UUIDs, so Chatmux requests can return vm_not_found. The self-usage route and /api/vm/self call findTeamMachine, which applies the same UUID check and can return 404. Add an explicit Chatmux branch before these lookups. Reject this identity from Cloud VM-only handlers or use a separate Chatmux-specific contract.

Pass a pinned clock to verifyChatmuxVmToken instead of relying on real time.
Line 19 reads the real clock through Date.now(), and the tokens use that value for iat/exp. Lines 38 and 57 call verifyChatmuxVmToken without its now argument, so jose compares these claims with a second, independent new Date(). The accept case and the exp: now - 120 case therefore depend on real elapsed time and on clockTolerance. The verifier already exposes now for injection. Pin one timestamp and pass it.
🧪 Proposed fix
-const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
+const now = 1_900_000_000;
+const at = new Date(now * 1000);- expect(await verifyChatmuxVmToken(await token(), config)).toEqual({ ...claims, iss: ISSUER } as never);
+ expect(await verifyChatmuxVmToken(await token(), config, at)).toEqual({ ...claims, iss: ISSUER } as never);- for (const t of bad) expect(await verifyChatmuxVmToken(t, config)).toBe(null);
+ for (const t of bad) expect(await verifyChatmuxVmToken(t, config, at)).toBe(null);The request-authentication tests at lines 95-128 cannot inject a clock. Keep real time there and derive their tokens from Date.now() locally, or add a clock seam to authenticateRequestRouteToken.
As per coding guidelines: "A test must not depend on real wall-clock time. Time-driven behavior … is tested by injecting a virtual/fake clock."

Source: Coding guidelines
chatmux (chatmux.dev) signs a one-hour ES256 token for each of its Freestyle VMs with an HSM key; the Freestyle edge injects it as x-chatmux-vm-authorization, so the guest never holds it. coderouter verifies it against chatmux's JWKS (issuer allowlist, audience "coderouter", one-hour maximum lifetime, required claims) with no database lookup. When the header is present it is the only credential considered and a bad token fails closed. A chatmux machine gets a new access kind, team-machine: only accounts its Hexclave team shares (visibility "team"), never anyone's private account. It has no pool and no cloud_vms row. Off until CODEROUTER_CHATMUX_JWKS_URL (https) and CODEROUTER_CHATMUX_ISSUERS are set.
A chatmux VM token now fails in the account control plane (it could add or remove team accounts through a route-token header) and in every Cloud VM-only route (VM principal, /api/vm/self, vm-usage/self, subrouter teams). Also: no control-character regex, and a pinned clock in the verifier tests.

Handle malformed configured JWKS URLs.
"https://" passes the prefix check but causes new URL(url) to throw. The default chatmuxConfig() argument is evaluated before verifyChatmuxVmToken enters its try block, so this error escapes instead of returning null.
Parse the URL in chatmuxConfig with a try/catch, and require url.protocol === "https:". Add a malformed HTTPS URL test.
