fix(web): store sandbox for production-bundle installs that declare it

[azooz2003-bit]

Summary

POST /api/device-tokens derived the APNs environment only from the bundle ID (normalizeApnsBundle) and ignored the environment the app sends. A Simulator or development-signed install of com.cmux.app only receives sandbox tokens, but it was stored as production. Every push to it went to the production APNs host and came back 400 BadDeviceToken, which pruned the row.

Observed in production for a Simulator run of the Release com.cmux.app (installation b926b6cf): the Mac encrypted the push for it, then APNs returned BadDeviceToken with prune=true. This made the official app impossible to push-verify on a Simulator.

registrationApnsBundle now stores sandbox when a production bundle explicitly declares environment: "sandbox". Nothing else changes:

• Installs that declare production, or send no environment, keep production.
• Development bundles stay sandbox-only.
• Target selection and sending are untouched.

The iOS side of the same verification, which makes Release builds on the Simulator declare sandbox, is in #14292.

Testing

• bun test tests/apns.test.ts: 59 pass. A new test covers sandbox declared by a production bundle, production or missing declarations, a wrong-case value, and a development bundle that declares production.
• tsc --noEmit reports no errors in the changed files.

Summary by cubic

Fixes device registration so POST /api/device-tokens stores the APNs environment the install declares, instead of deriving it only from the bundle ID.

Simulator and development-signed installs of com.cmux.app only receive sandbox tokens but were stored as production, so pushes went to the production APNs host, returned 400 BadDeviceToken, and pruned the row. That made the official app impossible to push-verify on a Simulator.

• A production bundle that declares environment: "sandbox" is now stored as sandbox; undeclared or production declarations and development bundles are unchanged.
• Target selection and sending logic are untouched.
• The iOS side that makes Simulator Release builds declare sandbox is in fix(ios): accept the Mac's push key exchange (device id) and allow Simulator push verification #14292.

^{Written for commit 364217b. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Device-token registration now selects the sandbox APNs environment when a production bundle policy is paired with an install that declares exactly "sandbox". Production, missing, or unrecognized declarations retain the production environment; development bundle policies remain sandbox.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for sandbox and production environment selection, including missing declarations, uppercase "SANDBOX" values, development bundle policies, and null bundle policies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Device-token registration now selects its APNs bundle policy using the request environment. Only an exact "sandbox" declaration changes a production policy to sandbox. Other inputs retain the normalized policy.

Changes

APNs Registration Environment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Select the registration bundle policy web/services/apns/routePolicy.ts, web/app/api/device-tokens/route.ts, web/tests/apns.test.ts	registrationApnsBundle returns a sandbox policy when the normalized policy is production and the requested environment is exactly "sandbox". The registration route passes the normalized policy and request environment to the selector. Tests cover other declarations and development policies.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: lawrencecchen

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 36421

The production-bundle sandbox selection works in the selector test, but the POST route’s stored environment is not covered end to end. Merge is reasonable with a focused route test as follow-up; without it, a regression could again cause APNs to reject sandbox-device pushes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 36421

The change enables sandbox delivery for eligible installs without showing a bypass of account ownership or provider credentials. An incorrect declaration can still make an account’s own token undeliverable, and existing registrations will not change until updated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A false sandbox declaration can route an authenticated account’s production-environment token to the wrong APNs host and lead to pruning of that selected row. The examined registration and pruning predicates do not establish a path to alter another user’s row.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The client controls the requested environment, but bundle normalization, authenticated user identity, cross-user conflict checks, and exact-row delivery pruning constrain its effects. Provider authentication remains server-side.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Registration groups ownership checks and insert or update in a transaction, while delivery checks its lease and current row identity before sending and pruning. An owned installation can be re-registered with a corrected environment.
