fix(signer): avoid deprecated ECDSA coordinate access - #7537
Conversation
Build the signer fragment from `PublicKey.Bytes()` instead of reading the raw ECDSA X coordinate. Keep the existing fragment format by hashing the trimmed X-coordinate bytes, and propagate key encoding errors thru signing & verification. Signed-off-by: Dwi Siswanto <git@dw1.io>
WalkthroughTemplateSigner now validates public-key encodings, trims leading-zero x-coordinate bytes before hashing fragments, caches computation errors, and propagates them through signing and verification. Tests cover the leading-zero coordinate case. ChangesSigner fragment handling

title="Add docstrings for signer fragment functions to satisfy docstring coverage"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
CodeRabbit's pre-merge check on PR `#7537` flagged insufficient docstring coverage (0.00%, required threshold 80.00%) for the functions touched in `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`.
## Rationale
The PR introduced/modified the fragment computation logic (`userFragment()` and related public-key fragment derivation) in `TemplateSigner`, but the new/changed exported and internal functions lack docstrings. Adding docstrings improves maintainability and satisfies the repository's documentation coverage checks.
## Affected areas
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`
- `TemplateSigner` struct and its `fragmentErr` field
- `userFragment()` method
- Any other new/modified functions related to public-key fragment computation, signing, and verification
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] Add clear docstrings to `userFragment()` and any other new/modified functions in `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`, describing behavior, parameters, return values, and error conditions.
- [ ] Docstring coverage check passes (≥ 80%) for the affected file(s).

title="Go 1.25-only ecdsa APIs used while module declares go 1.24"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
PR `#7537` introduces usage of `ecdsa.PublicKey.Bytes()` and `ecdsa.ParseUncompressedPublicKey`, both of which are only available starting Go 1.25. However, the module currently declares `go 1.24.2` with toolchain `go1.24.4`, so this will not build against the declared Go version.
## Rationale
`pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go` and `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go` rely on these Go 1.25 crypto/ecdsa APIs to derive the public key's x-coordinate bytes for the signature fragment. Until the module's Go/toolchain version is bumped (or the code is rewritten to avoid these APIs), builds on Go 1.24 will fail.
## Affected areas
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go`
- `go.mod` (declared `go 1.24.2` / toolchain `go1.24.4`)
## Suggested resolution
Either:
1. Bump the module's declared Go version and toolchain to 1.25+ to support `ecdsa.PublicKey.Bytes()` and `ecdsa.ParseUncompressedPublicKey`, or
2. Replace these calls with equivalent logic compatible with Go 1.24 (e.g., manually deriving uncompressed public key bytes via `elliptic.Marshal`/`crypto/ecdh`), while preserving the existing fragment format and error propagation behavior.

title="Go 1.25 APIs used in signer package while module targets Go 1.24"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
PR `#7537` updates `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go` (and its test file) to use `crypto/ecdsa` APIs — `ecdsa.PublicKey.Bytes()` and `ecdsa.ParseUncompressedPublicKey` — that are only available starting Go 1.25. The module currently declares `go 1.24.2` with `toolchain go1.24.4`, so this will fail to build for consumers/toolchains pinned to Go 1.24.
## Rationale
Using APIs that don't exist in the currently declared Go version breaks builds for anyone using the pinned toolchain (or older Go versions satisfying `go.mod`'s directive), and CI may only catch this if it uses a newer toolchain than declared.
## Affected areas
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go` — new `userFragment()` fragment computation path using `ecdsa.PublicKey.Bytes()` / `ecdsa.ParseUncompressedPublicKey`.
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go` — new test relying on the same APIs.
- `go.mod` — declares `go 1.24.2` / `toolchain go1.24.4`.
## Suggested resolution
Either:
1. Bump the module's declared Go version/toolchain to 1.25+ to support these APIs, or
2. Replace `ecdsa.PublicKey.Bytes()` / `ecdsa.ParseUncompressedPublicKey` with equivalents compatible with Go 1.24 (e.g., manual X/Y coordinate extraction or `crypto/ecdh` conversions), keeping the signer functionality and fragment format unchanged.
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] Confirm target Go version policy for the module.
- [ ] Either bump `go.mod`'s `go`/`toolchain` directives to 1.25+, or replace the Go 1.25-only APIs with 1.24-compatible equivalents.
- [ ] CI builds/tests pass on the declared minimum Go version.

title="Signer fragment generation relied on deprecated raw ECDSA X-coordinate access"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
`pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`'s `TemplateSigner.GetUserFragment()` previously built the signature fragment by directly reading the raw ECDSA public key X-coordinate (`t.handler.ecdsaPubKey.X.Bytes()`), which relies on deprecated/discouraged direct field access on `ecdsa.PublicKey`.
## Rationale
Direct access to `ecdsa.PublicKey.X`/`.Y` is deprecated in favor of encoding via `PublicKey.Bytes()`. The fix (PR `#7537`) switches fragment computation to use `PublicKey.Bytes()`, validates the uncompressed key encoding, extracts the x-coordinate from it, trims leading zero bytes to keep the historical fragment format stable, and md5-hashes the result. Key-encoding errors are now propagated through `Sign()` and `Verify()` instead of being silently swallowed.
## Affected areas
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`
- `TemplateSigner.GetUserFragment()` / new `userFragment()` / `publicKeyFragment()`
- `TemplateSigner.Sign()` / `sign()` / `Verify()`
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go` — coverage for leading-zero x-coordinate case
## Resolution
Addressed in PR `#7537` by:
- Deriving the x-coordinate from `PublicKey.Bytes()` (uncompressed point encoding) instead of `ecdsaPubKey.X.Bytes()`.
- Trimming leading zero bytes before hashing to preserve the legacy fragment format.
- Returning/propagating errors on invalid or unsupported key encodings through signing and verification.

title="Tracking: Signer fragment generation update to use PublicKey.Bytes() (PR `#7537`)"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
Tracking issue for PR `#7537`, which updates signer fragment generation in `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go` to use `PublicKey.Bytes()` instead of the deprecated raw ECDSA X-coordinate field access.
## Details
- Fragment computation now derives the x-coordinate from the uncompressed public key encoding returned by `PublicKey.Bytes()`, validates it, trims leading zero bytes to preserve the historical fragment format, and md5-hashes the result.
- `TemplateSigner` now caches both the computed fragment and any computation error (`fragmentErr`) via a new `userFragment()` method.
- Key-encoding errors are now propagated through `Sign()`/`sign()` and `Verify()` instead of being silently swallowed.
- Test coverage added in `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go` for the leading-zero x-coordinate case.
## Affected areas
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer.go`
- `pkg/templates/signer/tmpl_signer_test.go`
## Related follow-up items
- `#7541` — Signer fragment generation relied on deprecated raw ECDSA X-coordinate access (root-cause detail issue for this PR)
- `#7539`, `#7540` — opened based on an incorrect premise (Go 1.25 API vs go.mod version); confirmed invalid since `go.mod` declares `go 1.26`. Candidates for closing.
- `#7538` — opened in error (docstring coverage), unrelated to this PR's actual intent. Candidate for closing.
