Fail closed on shipped production authentication placeholders - #1035
Merged
Conversation
Contributor
Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change makes production authentication fail closed on blank, shipped, development, and test-fixture credentials. Application startup validates OIDC and session-cookie settings before loading the server. Quadlet preflight validates application settings, Keycloak administrator credentials, realm-client secrets, and secret equality before rendering units. Templates now require deployment injection. Smoke tests generate runtime credentials. The upgrade-notes workflow now handles branches based on open pull requests. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds fail-closed production authentication validation, but the current head still permits privileged workflow actions to target an untrusted fork and removes coverage for related security invariants; MCP smoke authentication can also fail when generated secrets are not propagated, so these issues should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

In @.github/workflows/operator-upgrade-notes.yml:
- Around line 67-77: Restrict every notes pull-request lookup in the workflow,
including the checks near the existing open_notes_pr logic and the lookups
around lines 135 and 138, to the target repository by using the
repository-qualified head ref or an equivalent explicit
headRepository.nameWithOwner filter. Require that the target branch ref is
fetched and exists before entering the git switch and rebase path, preventing
fork pull requests from being selected by this pull_request_target workflow.
In `@docs/operations/operator-upgrade-notes.md`:
- Around line 214-226: Update both MCP token-contract notes identified by the
operator-upgrade source markers so they consistently specify the approved
client, access-token class, every required scope, configured role claim, and
short lifetime. Preserve the existing source markers and surrounding rollout
guidance.
In `@scripts/containers/production-smoke.sh`:
- Around line 212-229: Ensure the generated mcp_client_secret from
render_runtime_configuration is also persisted to, or explicitly passed into,
the later scripts/security/get-mcp-token.mjs invocation; setting
MCP_CLIENT_SECRET only for the inline Node.js process is insufficient. Update
the smoke-test configuration and add an output assertion verifying the token
command receives the same generated secret used for the kravhantering-mcp realm
client.
In `@tests/unit/app-runtime-startup.test.mjs`:
- Around line 37-54: Update the parameterized shipped-secret test to invoke
startRuntime with the constructed env and a loadServer spy instead of calling
validateRuntimeAuthEnvironment directly. Assert that each sentinel produces
RuntimeAuthConfigError without exposing the sentinel and that loadServer is not
called, preserving the existing field assertion.

Retain workflow security-invariant coverage.
.github/instructions/tests.instructions.md#L52 prohibits all assertions against .github/workflows/, but the change removes tests for security contracts rather than action revisions. Restore or relocate coverage for checkout credentials, trusted-base and DAST guards, operator-upgrade token and branch safety, and protected-main archive checks. Limit the rule to exact action-revision assertions.

Complete this section for every PR. Check the box when no operator notes are
needed; otherwise write the notes below.
Before the upgrade, inject unique authentication secrets into the production
application configuration. For bundled Keycloak, also set temporary bootstrap
administrator credentials and separate application and MCP realm client
secrets. Make sure that the application client secret matches the application
configuration.
During rollout, the deployment preflight rejects blank or shipped placeholder
credentials before services start. The application image also stops if these
placeholders remain. If you rotate the session secret, all active browser
sessions become invalid. Plan this action for a low-traffic period and verify
sign-in after deployment.
