fix(deploy): refuse a config Veryfront Cloud can never read - #3671
Merged
Conversation
A hosted project's veryfront.config.ts is never imported: the shared
multi-project runtime evaluates it as data through the bounded declarative
evaluator, which accepts one `import ... from "veryfront"` naming
defineConfig/defineConfigWithEnv/getEnv/mergeConfigs, and nothing else
(declarative-evaluator.ts processImport). Declaring an extension needs an
import of the extension factory, so every project that follows the CSS
optimizer's own setup hint is rejected on every request. The deploy still
reports success; the environment answers 500 to all traffic with
"Hosted configuration rejected (unsupported-syntax: unsupported-import)".
The evaluator's policy is the hosted trust boundary and is not changed here.
What changes is when a developer learns about it:
- veryfront deploy now decides the question before it creates anything, and
names the file, the line, the offending source, and the remedy.
- The verdict only reports validate-phase rejections, which the parsed
program decides on its own, so a config whose values come from deployment
environment variables is never blocked by a local difference.
- The served 500 carries the same explanation after its code/reason pair.
- The extension setup hint says where the composition it recommends stops
working, instead of handing the reader an undeployable project.
Also affects any second import statement and any extensions entry that is
not { name, enabled: false } — the limitation is not specific to
first-party @veryfront/ext-* packages.

Review follow-up on two counts.
The preflight reported only validate-phase rejections, on the ground that a
result rejection depends on evaluated values. That is true only of a config
that can read the deployment environment. `export default { cache: { dir:
".tenant-cache" } };` parses cleanly and is refused by the hosted result
policy on every request, so the deploy this preflight exists to stop still
happened. A source that mentions neither getEnv nor defineConfigWithEnv
cannot reach environment data at all -- an import names the helper it takes
even when it renames it -- so its evaluated record is its own literals and
the verdict is the one production will reach. Those result rejections are now
reported, with a summary and remedy per hosted reason rather than the generic
"replace it with a literal". A source that can read the environment keeps the
old silence, and no line is claimed for a result rejection: the evaluator
locates one at the program, not at the key.
The excerpt now passes through sanitizeUrlCredentials before it is bounded,
the same order loader.ts documents for a config module's own failure: the
line is the project's source and travels into a terminal and a CI log, and
truncating first can split scheme://user:password@host before the @host the
redactor matches on.

In `@src/config/hosted-compatibility.ts`:
- Around line 152-154: Update the rejection logic around the
hosted-compatibility check to determine whether getEnv() influences the
specifically rejected field, rather than testing the complete source text via
ENVIRONMENT_READING_HELPERS. Preserve rejection for source-determined
unsupported-hosted-feature values, while allowing unrelated environment reads;
add regressions covering incidental helper text and a literal invalid field
alongside a genuinely environment-dependent field.
- Around line 261-268: Update sourceExcerpt to prevent non-URL secrets in source
lines from reaching public output: apply source-aware redaction for sensitive
literal values, or return undefined when the line cannot be classified as safe.
Preserve the existing sanitizeUrlCredentials, control-character normalization,
trimming, and length-limiting behavior for excerpts deemed safe.
In `@src/config/loader.ts`:
- Around line 1489-1494: Add a focused regression test for
translateHostedConfigEvaluationError that triggers a hosted configuration
rejection and verifies the resulting error preserves the code and reason while
including the reason-specific guidance from describeHostedConfigRejection.
In `@src/errors/error-registry/deploy.ts`:
- Around line 99-103: The deployment error description should state that
source-line details are included only when the evaluator can locate the rejected
construct. Update the descriptions at src/errors/error-registry/deploy.ts lines
99-103 and docs/api-reference/veryfront/errors.md line 66 with matching
conditional wording; both sites require direct changes.

…d it
Second review round.
The environment-dependence guard scanned the whole file, so a string or a
comment spelling getEnv silenced a verdict the config's own literals decide:
`{ cache: { dir: ".tenant-cache" }, title: "getEnv" }` was let through. Only an
import binds a helper, and by the time a result rejection exists the program
has validated, so every import it has is `from "veryfront"`. Reading those
statements is both sound and sharper.
The remaining gap is deliberate and now tested: a literal `cache.dir` beside a
real `getEnv` read is still deferred, because the evaluator reports the reason
it refused and not the path of the value it refused. Silence leaves the verdict
with the hosted runtime, which is where it was before this check existed;
guessing risks blocking a deploy over a difference the developer cannot see.
Also: a loader test for the translated hosted rejection, which asserts the
code/reason pair stays first and the reason-specific guidance follows it; and
CONFIG_NOT_DEPLOYABLE no longer promises a line unconditionally, since a
result rejection is located at the program rather than at the key.

What breaks today
Declaring any extension in
veryfront.config.tsmakes a project undeployable to Veryfront Cloud. The deploy reports success; the environment then answers 500 to every request.Reproduced from the framework side, two config sources differing in one variable:
Mechanism
A hosted project's config is never imported. The shared multi-project runtime evaluates it as data through the bounded declarative evaluator:
src/config/declarative-evaluator.ts:1653—processImportrejects any module specifier other than"veryfront".src/config/declarative-evaluator.ts:1704— rejects any imported name other thandefineConfig,defineConfigWithEnv,getEnv,mergeConfigs.src/config/declarative-evaluator.ts:130—maxImports: 1, so a second import statement fails too.src/config/declarative-evaluator.ts:2609—enforceHostedResultPolicyrejects anyextensionsentry that is not{ name, enabled: false }.Declaring an extension requires importing its factory, so it trips the first rule. Consumed per request at
src/server/shared/renderer/adapter.ts:239(getHostedConfig) and at release-asset evaluation viaevaluateHostedConfigSource, both of which surface it asHosted configuration rejected (unsupported-syntax: unsupported-import).Not specific to first-party packages. Any import of anything other than
veryfront, a second import statement of any kind, and any materializedextensionsentry all fail. The failure stage is hosted config evaluation — after build, after upload, after the release exists.What this PR does
The evaluator's policy is the hosted trust boundary; supporting project extensions there is a runtime and security design change, not a bug fix. This PR takes the smaller correct outcome the situation allows: make the failure legible and early instead of silent.
src/config/hosted-compatibility.ts(new) — answers "will the hosted runtime be able to read this config?" by running the production evaluator. It reports only validate-phase rejections, which the parsed program decides on its own, so a config whose values come from deployment environment variables can never be blocked by a local difference. Never throws: an unavailable evaluator reports "nothing ruled out" rather than blocking a deploy on its own unavailability.cli/shared/deployment/deploy-project.ts—veryfront deploydecides this in theresolve-configstep, before the source push and before any release or deployment exists. Skipped when the caller named a project by slug, where the working directory is not the source under review.src/config/loader.ts— the served 500 keeps itscode: reasonpair for correlation and gains one sentence saying what the config did.src/extensions/setup-hint.ts— the hint that recommends installing an extension and adding it toextensionsnow says where that composition stops working.CONFIG_NOT_DEPLOYABLEregistry error, exit code 2.What a developer now sees, before anything is created:
Tests
Written first and run red. The deploy-level test failed with
Error: Expected deployment to reject— the deploy completed successfully with a config the hosted runtime can never evaluate — while its twin, identical but for the extension import, deployed fine.cli/shared/deployment/deploy-project.test.ts— refuses the config, and asserts no release and no deployment were created; a hosted-compatible config still deploys.src/config/hosted-compatibility.test.ts— names the import and its line; accepts the shapes the evaluator supports; stays silent about rejections that depend on evaluated values.src/extensions/setup-hint.test.ts— the hint states the limitation in both the create and the edit case.src/config/,src/errors/,src/extensions/,cli/shared/,cli/mcp/: 222 passed, 0 failed. Lint, fmt,deno check, module/dependency boundaries, and the generated docs checks are clean.Still open
