feat(node): add a commit status reporting surface - #304
Adds a commit status surface so an external CI system can report a verdict against a commit and readers can see it, including a rolled-up state on a pull request head. The node executes nothing: this is the reporting half only.
Motivation & context
A repo here can be pushed to, reviewed, and merged, but there is nowhere to record whether the code is any good, so anyone who wants build results keeps a GitHub mirror. Every mirror is a reason a GitHub outage still reaches our users.
The gap was narrower than it looked. A completed push already fires an outbound push webhook whose payload mirrors GitHub's shape, so the trigger half existed and the reporting half did not.
I looked at running CI on the node and decided against it. Gitea, GitLab, sourcehut and Radicle all put the executor out of process, GitHub's own docs say self-hosted runners should almost never serve public repos, and every major free CI provider gated access in 2021 after cryptomining abuse. A node here is structurally the "public repo, operator's machine" case. That decision is settled, not open for this PR.
Kind of change
Feature
What changed
All in gitlawb-node.
Migration v24: an append-only status_claims table ordered by a database-assigned sequence, a nullable head_commit on pull_requests, and repo_push_events.
POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha}, owner-gated, validated, rate-limited, with three write caps.
GET .../commits/{sha}/status and GET .../pulls/{number}/status, both behind the existing repo read gate.
GET .../push-events, a cursor-paged catch-up surface so a checker that missed a webhook can still find the commit.
head_commit maintained on push and frozen at close or merge, so the rollup has an honest target.
require_signature now attaches the verified RFC 9421 material as a request extension, so the write path can persist what a signature actually covered.
Version 24 rather than 18: pr-173 and fix/issue-135-ipfs-cid-tree-gate both claim through 23, and the runner keys only on version without comparing the recorded name, so a collision is a silent full skip rather than an error.
Three design calls worth stating plainly rather than leaving to be inferred. The wire shape follows GitHub's commit status contract, which buys existing status-consuming clients and settles an inconsistency we already had at the push webhook. Writes are append-only claims and the visible status is a projection over them, which is what keeps a later move to signed attestations a substrate swap. Each claim stores the signature and the bytes it covered, because a claim nobody can re-verify after the request is gone is not history that substrate could adopt.
How a reviewer can verify
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
The tests worth reading first are the ones that pin the security properties rather than the happy path:
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node non_owner_on_quarantined_repo_is_indistinguishable_from_missing
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node a_replayed_success_cannot_overturn_the_later_failure
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node capped_insert_holds_the_bound_against_concurrent_writers
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node tightening_visibility_hides_existing_claims_from_anon
cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node stored_claim_re_verifies_and_a_tampered_row_does_not
Before you request review
Scope is one logical change; no unrelated churn
cargo test --workspace passes locally
New behavior is covered by tests (required for fixes)
cargo fmt --all and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings are clean
Commit titles use Conventional Commits
Docs / .env.example updated if behavior or config changed (or N/A)
Checked existing PRs so this isn't a duplicate
Protocol & signing impact
Touches DID / did:key, Ed25519 / RFC 9421 signatures, UCAN, ref certs, or P2P wire formats
Discussed in an issue before implementation
Backward-compatible with existing nodes and previously signed history
The only signing-path change left here is additive and internal: require_signature attaches the material it already computed to the request extensions, so a handler can persist what a signature covered. No wire format, no verification behavior, nothing a client can observe.
This branch previously also made Content-Digest mandatory and refused duplicated covered components. Those are a protocol change, they are not needed by this feature, and they wanted their own scrutiny, so they now live in #306 behind #305. This branch has been rebased to drop them and depends on nothing there.
Notes for reviewers
Known limitations, stated up front.
No first producer is named yet. Nothing in this PR runs CI, and no specific system is committed to reporting into it. It can merge complete and still not answer the question that motivated it until someone points a checker at it.
The rollup fallback only helps going forward. When a pull request has no stored head, it resolves from repo_push_events, which only carries pushes that land after this deploys. A pull request whose branch was last pushed before then stays unresolved until it is pushed again. There is no backfill.
Two contracts are not enforced by a guard yet. No verdict data reaches gossip, the GraphQL broadcast channel, or anchoring, and I checked that by reading rather than assuming, but the source-scrape test that would keep a future edit from adding one is deferred. So is a reference signing shim.
No gl or MCP coverage. The signing path already exists in the client, so this is a missing wrapper rather than a reachability problem, but the status domain has none of the roughly thirty tools the other domains have.
Two behaviours I would rather you agree with than discover. A replayed byte-identical write is idempotent and returns the original claim instead of erroring, which also means two genuinely separate reports with identical bodies inside the same clock second collapse into one, since RFC 9421 signs created at second granularity. And the pull request rollup persists a resolved head during an unauthenticated GET, bounded in SQL so it fires at most once per pull request.
head_commit now appears on existing pull request responses through the record's serialization. Additive, and the head is already derivable by anyone who can list refs, but it is a response shape change rather than an invisible one.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added repository push-event history with cursor-based pagination.
Added status reporting for commits and pull requests, including combined status summaries and links to individual reports. Status submissions are restricted to repository owners.
Bug Fixes
Pull-request merges now record the source commit used for the merge, and closing an open pull request can resolve its latest source commit.
Push events and pull-request head updates now reflect accepted ref changes, avoiding stale or rejected updates.
Schema for the commit-status surface, all three objects in one versioned
entry rather than three: an append-only status_claims table, a nullable
head_commit column on pull_requests, and repo_push_events for the
catch-up poll surface.
Version 24 rather than 18 because origin/pr-173 and
origin/fix/issue-135-ipfs-cid-tree-gate both claim through 23, and the
migration runner keys only on version without comparing the recorded
name, so a collision is a silent full skip rather than an error.
status_claims orders on a database-assigned bigserial seq, not the uuid
id. A uuid v4 is random, so using it as the timestamp tiebreak would let
a retried pending claim beat a success roughly half the time when both
land in the same rfc3339 tick.
Each claim stores the producer's RFC 9421 signature headers and the
canonical signed bytes. Append-only preserves rows, but only stored
signature material preserves provenance, and a claim nobody can verify
after the request is gone is not history a signed-attestation substrate
can adopt later.
The table is repo_push_events, not push_events: the latter already
exists in v1 for agent trust scoring, so a second CREATE TABLE under
IF NOT EXISTS is a silent no-op whose follow-on index then fails.
The upgrade-path test is the load-bearing one. A sqlx::test provisions
an empty database and runs the whole array, so the fresh-chain tests
stay green even when DDL is appended to an already-applied entry.
The rollup needs an honest target commit, and a pull request row stores
only branch names. Resolving the branch at read time is racy (the SHA
moves between the resolve and the rollup) and gives a merged or
deleted-branch pull request no answer at all, since the merge commit is
computed and never persisted.
The receive-pack path now sets head_commit for open pull requests whose
source branch matches an updated ref, one statement keyed on repo,
branch, and open status. Excluding closed and merged rows from the WHERE
clause is what freezes the value. The merge path stamps the source head
it actually consumed, which covers a push landing between the handler
reading the row and committing the merge.
A ref arriving on the push path is a full refs/heads/ name while
source_branch stores the bare branch, so the normalisation is tested
directly; a silently non-matching WHERE clause would make this a no-op
that still reads green. Branch deletions are skipped rather than stored,
since 40 zeros is a target no commit resolves to.
The scenario tests drive the update helper directly, because a real
receive-pack POST needs a pack file. That proves the mechanism and says
nothing about the sink, so a source-scrape test pins the call site in
the push handler. Removing that call was verified to turn it red.
POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha} appends a status claim.
Authorization runs read-visibility first, then owner, and the order is
the security property: authorize_repo_read denies a quarantined repo
before the visibility gate and answers with the repo's own not-found, so
a caller who cannot read the repo cannot learn it exists. Loading the
repo and comparing the owner would answer 403 there and turn the
endpoint into an existence oracle. That case is tested directly, since
it is what separates a correct implementation from a plausible one.
Three caps, all evaluated in the insert transaction and all refusing
with 429: per producer and context, distinct contexts per commit, and
total rows per repo. The per-tuple cap alone bounds nothing, because the
context string and the SHA are both caller-chosen and the SHA is never
existence-checked. The route group also carries the per-DID and per-IP
limiters that the creation routes use; the plain write group carries
neither and this endpoint appends on every call.
Wider than the endpoint: require_signature now attaches the verified
RFC 9421 material as a request extension, so a handler can persist what
the signature actually covered. Rebuilding the canonical string in the
handler would store a string nobody verified, and none of it survives
the request. The write fails closed with a 500 when that material is
absent, rather than storing an empty payload, because a claim nobody can
re-verify is not history the later attestation substrate can adopt.
Nine injected-defect mutations confirm the gates are load-bearing rather
than decorative, including that removing the route group's merge leaves
a group that compiles, lints, and does not exist at runtime.
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/status returns the
projection over the claim history, computed per read rather than
materialized. A materialized index gated only at write time is how this
codebase previously kept serving a repo's slug, owner, branches, and
SHAs after it was made private, so the regression test writes a claim
while public, tightens visibility, and asserts an anonymous read finds
no trace of it.
Three outcomes stay distinct, which is the point of the unit. A caller
who cannot read the repo gets the repo's own not-found, compared byte
for byte against a missing repo so the endpoint is not an existence
oracle. A commit nobody has reported on gets 200 with the explicit
pending zero-count body, asserted exactly so no client can render it as
green. A failed lookup propagates as a 500 carrying the db_error code,
never as an empty success; nothing on this path uses ok-or-default.
Latest-per-context is decided by the database-assigned sequence, not by
the timestamp and not by the uuid. The ordering test seeds the winning
row with the lexically smaller id and a far older timestamp, so it fails
under either wrong key rather than passing by luck.
The projection filters to claims authorized by the current owner, so an
ownership transfer drops the prior owner's claims from the answer while
the history keeps them. That filter is a set-membership test inside the
query, which is the constraint the delegated-capability follow-on
inherits. It expands the owner DID into its equivalent forms, and a test
runs that expansion against did_matches over a ten-case matrix so the
two cannot drift apart silently.
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/status answers for the
pull request's head. Both read surfaces now call one extracted
projection, so "the rollup uses the same projection as the commit read"
holds by construction rather than by two implementations agreeing today.
A pull request row stores branch names, so the head has to come from
somewhere. Preference order is the stored head, then a database-backed
branch lookup for an open pull request that has none. No path in this
module acquires the repository or lists refs from disk: that would
download the whole repository from object storage on a cold node, and
this read group carries no rate limiter. A source-read test enforces
that, and asserts its own scan still covers the handler so it cannot
shrink to vacuously passing.
The read-side persist is self-limiting by SQL, not by handler ordering:
the update is conditioned on the head being absent and the pull request
open, so a push landing mid-request cannot be rolled back to a staler
tip and a closed pull request is never back-filled. Reading the same
pull request twice resolves the branch once.
That property is invisible in the response. A variant that re-resolved
on every call and then still preferred the stored head would return
byte-identical bodies across the whole suite, so the test counts the
work done rather than the results emitted, and injecting exactly that
variant reddens only the counter assertion.
An unresolvable head is not a fifth wire state. The state field stays
inside the four values and the condition rides in head_resolved beside
the pull request's own state, so the two cases differ on that boolean
alone and both are tested.
Webhook delivery is spawned, fire-and-forget, and never retried, so a
checker whose endpoint was unreachable during a push simply never learns
about the commit. Rather than add retry machinery and an unbounded queue
pointed at an owner-supplied URL, delivery reliability becomes a
read-side property: a push records an event, and a subscriber walks
forward from a cursor to find every commit a webhook would have told it
about.
Containment is the load-bearing constraint. The row goes into
repo_push_events, written only by the receive-pack path and read only by
this repo-scoped, gate-checked handler. It must never go into
received_ref_updates, which the unauthenticated global feed also reads;
writing local pushes there would publish private-repo pushes on an
anonymous surface. A test pushes to a private repo and asserts nothing
appears on that feed, and retargeting the write reddens it.
The cursor emits a canonical Z-form timestamp with fixed sub-second
width rather than the default rfc3339. The default emits a +00:00
offset, and + decodes to a space in a query string, so a poller echoing
the cursor back re-read the same page forever. The fixed width also
makes the TEXT column's lexicographic order match time order for the
keyset predicate. Found by seeding a timestamp collision, not by
reading.
The scenario tests drive the recorder directly, so a source-scrape test
pins its call site in the push handler, the same way the stored-head
update is pinned. Removing that call was verified to turn it red.
Two review findings.
The fallback read branch_cids, whose only production writer sits inside
a Pinata pin-success branch. With no Pinata configured that table is
never written, so on a default node the fallback could never resolve and
every open pull request without a stored head answered head_resolved
false forever. It now reads repo_push_events, which the receive-pack
path writes unconditionally for every ref update, with both predicates
and the ordering in SQL against the existing keyset index. Still one
database read per request, still no repository acquire.
This is better, not complete: repo_push_events only carries pushes that
land after this ships, so a pull request whose branch was last pushed
before deployment still will not resolve until it is pushed again. There
is no backfill.
The best-effort persist propagated its error, so a transient database
failure turned a rollup that had already resolved its answer into a 500.
It now catches and logs, matching the sibling writes on the push path.
The test asserts the persist genuinely fails before driving the read, so
it cannot pass vacuously.
Also corrected a doc comment that claimed the resolve branch is never
taken twice for one pull request. Only the persist is once-per-pull-
request; the resolve attempt repeats on every read until it succeeds.
The accompanying test pins the corrected wording rather than a behavior
change, since the old code counted the same way.
The resolve counter is process-global while sqlx test databases are
per-test, so unguarded tests were inflating the counts guarded tests
assert on. The guard now covers every test that triggers a resolve.
The change adds signed status-claim creation and status-read endpoints, persists push events and pull-request heads from accepted ref transitions, and exposes repository-scoped push-event polling with repository-bound cursors.

Consider separate rate-limit buckets for status writes.
status_write_routes reuses state.rate_limiter for the per-DID throttle and state.create_ip_rate_limiter for the per-IP brake. creation_routes uses those same two limiters, and both limiters key on the DID and the client IP respectively, not on the route. Status writes and creation writes therefore share one quota.
The traffic shapes differ sharply. Repo, issue, and pull-request creation are occasional. Status writes are one call per CI context per commit, so a single active producer can drain the shared bucket and start getting 429 on repo creation for the same DID.
This file already treats bucket sharing as a decision that needs an explicit answer — the peer_write_routes comment states the notify bucket is separate from the trigger bucket "so an unsigned notify flood cannot drain the signed trigger caller's quota". The same argument applies here, and the new comment does not address it.
Adding status_write_rate_limiter and status_write_ip_rate_limiter to AppState would isolate the two surfaces. If the sharing is intentional, please record the reasoning in the comment so the next reader does not have to rediscover the interaction.

bound receives material.signature.len(), which is a byte count, and its message says "bytes". The three constants are named MAX_SIGNATURE_CHARS, MAX_SIGNATURE_INPUT_CHARS, and MAX_SIGNING_STRING_CHARS. MAX_REQUEST_BODY_BYTES already uses the accurate suffix.

The row stored the RFC 9421 signing string under a column called
signed_payload. That string covers the body only through the content
digest, so it proved someone signed a request with some digest but not
that this claim row was what they signed. The whole append-only argument
rests on a claim staying verifiable after the request is gone, so the
row now carries the request body as well, in a column that says so, and
a test re-verifies a claim from the row alone: body to digest, digest
into the signing string, signature over that string under the producer's
key. Its negative mutates the stored state and shows the same procedure
refuses.
Migration v24 is amended in place rather than stacked, since it has
never shipped.
The persisted material had no size bound and is caller-influenced, so
each field is now bounded. The write response returned the whole claim,
so the wire carried the stored bytes as a JSON integer array; it now
returns a client-facing type and StatusClaim no longer derives
Serialize, so the leak cannot reappear by accident.
Carrying the body as Bytes rather than a Vec matters: the middleware
runs on every signed request including receive-pack POSTs bounded at
2 GB, so copying would have doubled peak memory on every push to serve
a field only the status write reads.
Five reviewers independently flagged the capped insert. It counted then
inserted inside one transaction with a docstring promising a concurrent
writer could not slip past, which READ COMMITTED does not deliver, and
every cap test was sequential so deleting the transaction would have
kept them green. A per-repo advisory lock now serializes writers on the
bound they are both testing. The new test runs eight writers through a
barrier at cap minus one: without the lock it left 4, 5, and 5 rows
against a cap of 3 on consecutive runs, so the window was real.
The projection compared producer_did as a raw column while the handler
stored whatever spelling the signer used, so one owner writing as
did:key:X and as X produced two entries for one context and the
superseded claim kept voting. Identity is now canonicalized at write
time, and the read filter is a single equality rather than a set.
That fix had a trap. Applying normalize_owner_key directly, as the
finding suggested, collapses to the bare key, which is not a parseable
DID, and would have quietly undone the re-verifiability the previous
commit established. canonical_did canonicalizes to the full did:key
form instead and is written as a function of normalize_owner_key so the
equivalence with did_matches still holds exactly, including the case
where a naive prefix-add would merge two distinct identities.
With that in place the ported copy of the DID collapse in the status
module is gone rather than relocated, and did_matches itself now
delegates, so the Rust gate, the stored column, and the SQL all trace to
one definition.
The projection also selected the signature columns it never renders,
which the previous commit made worse by adding the request body. It has
its own narrow type now, enforced by a source-read test.
The per-repo cap counted for all time with nothing pruning the table, so
a repo that reached it was permanently closed while 429 told clients to
keep retrying. It is a rolling window now, which still bounds the
fan-out a caller-chosen SHA allows, and makes the refusal true.
Also folded two count queries that scanned the same rows into one.
The push-event cursor paged on an application-stamped wall clock, so a
row stamped later could commit earlier and a poller past that point
would never see the earlier row. A clock step backwards widens it. It
now pages on a database-assigned sequence, the same decision
status_claims already made, so the two surfaces do not disagree about
what ordering means. The rollup's branch resolve had the same flaw and
is fixed with it.
The receive-pack path issued one round trip per ref for each of two
writers, sequentially, on the user's push, with nothing bounding the ref
count. Both are single statements now and the per-push fan-out is
capped, with a warning when it truncates rather than silent loss. The
head update batches through a VALUES join, with last-write-wins dedup on
duplicate branches: git will not produce them, but a join over
duplicates picks arbitrarily where the loop it replaced was
deterministic.
The cursor was unvalidated. A malformed value produced a wrong page
instead of a refusal, limit zero returned a page with a null cursor, and
a poller persisting that cursor silently restarted from the beginning of
history. It is validated, the limit is clamped, and the returned cursor
never moves backwards. This changes the query parameter names, which is
a breaking wire change on an endpoint that has never shipped; every
consumer was checked and only the route registration reads them.
Three copies of the source-scraping parser became one shared helper.
That refactor exposed a real gap: the empty-region mutation reddened
four of the five guards, but the gossip-containment guard passed on an
empty region because it only asserts a must-not. It now asserts its scan
covered what it claims to cover, so a helper bug cannot make it
vacuously green.
status.rs is split into status/mod.rs and status/tests.rs, production
logic unchanged. Four things read the old path and all were retargeted,
including 22 mutation targets across four specs, each re-confirmed to
still match exactly once.
Both defects came from an independent cross-model review, and neither
was visible to the reviewers that share this session's model.
A signed write was protected only by clock skew: no nonce, no
idempotency key, no record of signatures already seen. So a captured
request replayed inside the skew window inserted a new row with a new
sequence number, and because the projection takes the latest claim per
producer and context, a stale success outranked the failure that
superseded it. The append-only design is what made this reversible
rather than merely duplicative: a replay that only duplicated a row
would be harmless, a replay that earns a fresh sequence flips the
answer. An earlier reviewer saw the replay window and concluded
append-only bounded it, which had the mechanism exactly backwards.
An exact replay is now idempotent instead of an error. The row carries a
digest over the signature, its input, and the body, a unique index
enforces it in the database rather than a check-then-insert race, and a
repeat returns the original claim. Erroring would have punished the
legitimate case this design otherwise handles worst: a client whose
response was lost retrying the same signed request and concluding its
report failed when it had succeeded.
The fan-out cap was mine, added while fixing unbounded work, and it
truncated at 256 refs after receive-pack had already accepted them. A
push whose pull request source branch sat past that point left the head
permanently stale with no push event, announced only by a log line git
had already contradicted. The writers chunk now, so nothing accepted is
dropped, and the bound that remains refuses before the accept rather
than after: chunking bounds a statement, not a request, and the work
that scales with ref count sits upstream anyway, one protection query
per ref before the service runs and one certificate and webhook per ref
after, with body limits disabled on the git routes.
Removing the cap also exposed a quadratic branch dedupe it had been
keeping cheap; that is a map now.

The sequence is a bigserial, so Postgres allocates it at INSERT and makes
it visible at COMMIT, and nextval does not roll back. Two overlapping
writes to one repo could therefore commit out of sequence order: one
allocates, another allocates and commits, a poller reads the later row
and advances, and the earlier row then becomes visible behind a cursor
that has already passed it. Never delivered, no error, no gap signal,
which is the one thing the catch-up surface exists to prevent.
This is the second time this branch has traded one ordering hazard for
another. The cursor moved off a wall clock because stamping and
committing disagree; it moved onto a sequence where allocating and
committing disagree.
The insert now runs in an explicit transaction that takes a per-repo
advisory lock, so the lock releases at commit and no writer can allocate
until the previous row is visible. The wait is bounded, because the lock
sits on a pooled connection on the inline push path and an unbounded
wait would turn one busy repo into pool exhaustion for unrelated
requests. Three attempts at a one second timeout leaves headroom under
the pool's own acquire timeout.
That bound needs the caller to stop swallowing failures. It warned and
continued, so any error the lock introduced would silently drop those
events forever while the push had already returned success, reaching the
same outcome by another route. It now retries once and then logs at
error level naming the repo, the refs, and the SHAs that were lost.
The defect is pinned by a test that owns both transaction boundaries
rather than a barrier. A barrier cannot reproduce it: before this change
the write was a single autocommit statement, so allocate and commit were
one round trip from the client and the interleaving window was never
open to a caller of the public API.
The signature middleware handed every signed request a second handle to
the buffered body, and only the status write reads it. The field is
optional now and populated behind a marker the persisting route group
applies.
Be accurate about what that saves, because the first reading of this
finding overstated it and the plan was corrected before implementation.
The push handler takes its body as an extractor, so axum consumes the
request and drops every extension at that point; the extra handle lived
across the remaining middleware chain, not the handler's lifetime. The
whole pack really is pinned for the whole receive-pack, but by the
handler's own parameter, which is pre-existing and untouched here.
Layer order is the failure mode worth guarding. A marker applied inside
the auth layers is never seen by the middleware that reads it, so the
body silently stops being captured while every test stays green. The
mutation that proves this leaves the layer present on the same group and
only moves it inside, and the production-router test still reddens. The
handler also refuses an absent body rather than storing an empty column,
so a lost marker fails loudly at the one place it matters.
Four comments claimed a timestamp or a uuid tiebreak decided ordering
when the code orders on the sequence. Three were named in review; the
fourth turned up next to them, calling the timestamp format load-bearing
for a cursor that no longer reads it. The mirror-dedup comments that
correctly document timestamp ordering were checked and left alone.
The shared scrape helper advanced by one byte to stop an end anchor
matching at position zero, which reports a missing anchor for any region
starting on a multibyte character. It advances by a character now. Not
reachable today since every anchor is ASCII, but five guards share this
helper and one that silently finds nothing is worse than one that fails.
Worked all seven. Five landed in 5445dda and 61033af, two declined with evidence below. Each finding was checked against the code before I acted on it, and one of them turned out to be right about the defect but wrong about its size.
The seq keyset skip
Real, and the sharpest of the set. I confirmed the window is open rather than assuming it: acquire_write releases its advisory lock at api/repos.rs:952, while record_push_events runs at :1026, outside it. So two pushes to one repo serialize through receive-pack and then race on the insert exactly as described.
Taken the second remedy, with one addition. The insert now runs in an explicit transaction that takes a per-repo advisory lock, so the lock releases at commit and no writer can allocate a sequence until the previous row is visible. The wait is bounded (SET LOCAL lock_timeout, three attempts at one second, under the pool's five second acquire timeout) because the lock sits on a pooled connection on the inline push path, and an unbounded wait would turn one busy repo into pool exhaustion for unrelated requests.
That bound needed the caller fixed too. record_push_events warned and continued, so any error the lock introduced would have dropped those events permanently while the push had already returned success, reaching the same outcome by a different route. It now retries once and then logs at error level naming the repo, the refs, and the SHAs.
Worth recording how the defect is pinned, because the obvious test does not work. A barrier-driven concurrency test passes against the unfixed code: before this change the write was a single autocommit statement, so allocate and commit were one round trip and the interleaving window was never open to a caller of the public API. The reproduction owns both transaction boundaries directly and observes the strand: A allocates, B allocates and commits, the walk from zero leaves the cursor past A, A commits, and the next page comes back empty with both rows committed.
I also corrected the doc comment, which claimed the sequence "cannot disagree with the order the rows actually became visible". True for a single writer, and the sentence that made this invisible.
The body retention, with a correction
Real, and I have made the change, but the finding overstates it and I would rather say so than quietly ship a fix under a claim that does not hold.
The part I can show: git_receive_pack takes its own body: Bytes and moves it into smart_http::receive_pack at api/repos.rs:947. So the whole pack is pinned across the push by the handler's own parameter, independently of the middleware, and that predates this branch. Removing the extension handle does not lower peak memory on a push; the finding's conclusion about concurrent pushes exhausting memory holds either way and is not something this change addresses.
On top of that, my reading of the extractor is that the request is consumed to produce body, which would end the extension's handle well before the handler returns rather than at its end. I have not measured that, so treat it as a direction rather than a result.
So the change is still worth making and is in: the field is optional now and populated only behind a marker the persisting route group applies. What it buys is removing the second handle across the remaining chain, and removing the retention outright on small-body signed routes. Lowering peak memory on a push needs a streaming receive-pack, which is separate work.
The failure mode worth guarding here is layer order: a marker applied inside the auth layers is never seen by the middleware that reads it, so the body silently stops being captured while every test stays green. The guard for that moves the layer inside rather than deleting it, and the production-router test still fails. The handler also refuses an absent body rather than storing an empty column.
The three smaller ones
The stale cursor comment and both fixture comments are corrected. There was a fourth next to them, calling the timestamp format load-bearing for a cursor that no longer reads it; same root cause, so it went with them. The two comments in repos.rs that correctly document (created_at ASC, id ASC) for mirror-dedup are untouched.
The scrape helper advances by a character now. You are right that it is not reachable today, since every current anchor is ASCII, but five guards share that helper and one that silently reports "not found" is worse than one that fails loudly. Both directions are guarded, so the fix did not reintroduce the zero-position collapse the byte offset originally prevented.
Declined: the two thread-local findings
api/repos.rs:3101 and db/mod.rs:1132 both rest on #[sqlx::test] using a multi-thread Tokio runtime. It does not.
sqlx-macros-core 0.8.6, the version pinned in this lockfile, expands the test body to ::sqlx::test_block_on (src/test_attr.rs:73), and that runs on a runtime built with runtime::Builder::new_current_thread() (src/lib.rs:66). The test future cannot migrate between workers, so the thread-local counter cannot split.
The suggested remedy also points the wrong way for this suite. There is a process-global AtomicUsize counter elsewhere in this branch, BRANCH_RESOLVES, and it needs an explicit guard on every test that touches it precisely because #[sqlx::test] gives each test its own database while a global counter is shared, so an unguarded test inflates the count a guarded test asserts on. Moving the push-write counter to that shape would import that problem rather than solve one.
If the runtime flavour ever changes, the concern becomes real, so the new concurrency work deliberately uses tokio::spawn with a tokio::sync::Barrier rather than std::thread::spawn, which keeps every writer on the runtime thread.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Findings
[P1] Require a body-bound Content-Digest before persisting signed provenance crates/gitlawb-node/src/auth/mod.rs:212
The status handler now stores the request body as evidence of the signed verdict, but require_signature substitutes an empty string when Content-Digest is absent and only compares the digest when the header exists. An owner can therefore sign the method/path plus an empty digest, omit the header, and submit any status body; the resulting claim asserts provenance that cannot re-verify the stored body. Require and verify the digest on this route (or make this PR depend on the digest-enforcement change) before recording the claim.
[P1] Apply push side effects only to refs that receive-pack accepted crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1017 smart_http::receive_pack regards a zero process exit as success and forwards the protocol response untouched, while receive-pack reports individual rejected refs as ng <ref> ... pkt-lines even with that exit status. The new code then updates PR heads and writes poll events for every ref parsed from the request. A rejected non-fast-forward, hook, or unpack failure can consequently publish an uninstalled SHA and make the PR rollup target it. Parse the report-status and use only accepted refs (or derive the updates from the resulting repository state) for these side effects.
[P1] Keep PR-head writes ordered with the git write lock crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:952
The repository lock is released before update_open_pr_heads runs. If pushes A then B are accepted for the same branch, B can reach the unconditional UPDATE pull_requests SET head_commit = v.sha first and A can overwrite it afterwards. Since a non-null stored head bypasses the fallback, the rollup remains pinned to A even though the branch points at B. Serialize this update with the receive-pack order, or make the update conditional on an ordering/version that cannot move the head backwards.
[P1] Make push-event cursors opaque and repository/node-bound crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/events.rs:349
Every non-negative integer is accepted and passed directly to a per-repo seq > cursor query. A high value issued by another repo/node, or retained across a restore, returns an empty 200 and is echoed, permanently skipping this repo's history while the subscriber believes it is caught up. The returned value is also the table-global BIGSERIAL, so gaps let a reader measure activity in other repositories, including private ones. Use an opaque scoped cursor, or validate that it was issued for this repository and reject an invalid/ahead value visibly.
[P2] Enforce the ref-count limit while parsing the receive-pack request crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:874
The 10,000-ref bound is checked only after parse_ref_updates has scanned the entire request and allocated three strings for every valid pkt-line. Git routes allow a pack body up to the configured 2 GB, so a signed caller can force the allocation and CPU work that the new cap is meant to prevent before receiving the 400. Stop parsing as soon as the cap is exceeded (or otherwise bound the parser) before retaining each update.
[P2] Apply the status body-size limit before signature middleware buffers it crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/status/mod.rs:176
The advertised 8 KiB request bound is checked only after require_signature has collected and hashed the full body; the route has no matching transport body limit. A large signed request is therefore allocated before authorization and only then rejected by this handler, defeating the stated bound under concurrent requests. Add a small RequestBodyLimitLayer outside the auth middleware (or make the middleware collection bounded) for this route.
A claim is provenance, so the signature stored beside it has to reach the
bytes stored beside it. It did not. The signing string covers the body
only through a content-digest line, and require_signature rebuilds the
covered values from the request: with no Content-Digest header the
covered digest is the empty string on the signing side and the verifying
side alike, the Ed25519 check passes over method, path and nothing else,
and the digest-versus-body comparison was skipped for want of a header.
An owner could sign that once and post any body under it. The row that
produced carried a valid signature, a signing string that verifies under
the owner's key, and a request_body the signing string says nothing
about — history nobody can re-verify, which is the one thing the row is
for.
The write path now recomputes the digest of the bytes it is about to
persist and requires the signing string to carry exactly that line, which
is the write-time form of the check re_verify already ran against a
stored row. Line-exact rather than a substring search: build_signing_string
emits one component per line, and a contains would also be satisfied by
the digest appearing inside another component's value.
This is deliberately not the only line of defence, and deliberately not
the middleware's. PR #306 requires the header in require_signature and
closes the same hole one layer earlier for every signed route; that
belongs there, because no other route's correctness should depend on this
handler. Neither substitutes for the other. Without #306 the empty digest
is still accepted everywhere else; without this, a later relaxation of the
middleware resumes writing unverifiable history in silence. Nothing here
touches require_signature, so the two do not collide.
The route's advertised 8 KiB body bound was also a bound on what gets
stored rather than on what gets buffered: require_signature collects and
hashes the whole body before any handler runs, so by the time the handler
measured it the allocation had happened, and concurrent requests
multiplied exactly the cost the number was written to prevent. A
RequestBodyLimitLayer now carries the same figure at the transport,
outside the auth layers and inside the rate limiters, matching the shape
the git routes already use. The handler keeps its own check: it is the one
that holds for a handler reached by any other route table.
The hand-injected test material had to become coherent with the request
it rides on, because a stand-in built over other bytes now takes every
bare-router test down the refusal branch. It is built from the body it
accompanies and carries a real content-digest line.
receive-pack exits zero when the process ran, not when the push applied.
A non-fast-forward, a hook rejection or a failed update comes back as an
ng pkt-line inside a response this handler forwarded without reading, so
every side effect keyed on the refs parsed from the REQUEST fired for
refs that were refused: the pull request on that branch had its stored
head moved to a commit this node does not have, and the catch-up poll
surface handed subscribers a SHA that resolves to nothing.
The report is now parsed and only the refs it names with ok are used.
unpack fail accepts nothing, since the pack never landed. A report that
does not parse at all is inconclusive and keeps every declared ref: a
client that never requested report-status is told nothing about
individual refs, and reading that silence as rejection would permanently
drop the events and the head update for a push git really did accept,
which is the failure the poll surface exists to prevent.
The parser is ported from PR #384, which introduced it for this same
problem, so the two branches converge on one definition of "accepted"
rather than growing two. Whichever lands second should drop its copy. It
diverges by three lines, and they are load-bearing: git double wraps the
report when the client negotiates side-band-64k, which git push over
smart HTTP does. The observed framing from git 2.50.1 is an outer
pkt-line carrying a band byte whose payload is itself a pkt-line stream,
so one pass of strip_sideband leaves "000eunpack ok" as the first line,
the parse fails, and every ref falls back to inconclusive — the parser
answering "cannot tell" for exactly the pushes it exists to classify. A
second pass peels the inner layer and is a no-op on the single-wrapped
shape. The tests carry the real captured byte layout, both wrappings, so
this is pinned rather than assumed.
Both writes also moved inside the repository write lock. That lock orders
the ref updates of two concurrent pushes; released before these ran, the
pair was an unordered race, and B's unconditional UPDATE landing before
A's leaves the stored head — which the rollup prefers over its fallback —
pinned to a commit the branch has moved past. record_push_events has the
same inversion by a different route, since latest_push_sha_for_ref reads
the highest seq and seq order is insert order. There is no per-row
version to make the UPDATE conditional on, so the ordering has to come
from the lock. Holding it across two batched statements on an already
open pool, on a path that just ran a subprocess over the whole pack, is
the cheaper half of that trade. A source guard pins the position, because
this is a property of where the calls sit.
Separately, the 10,000-ref bound was checked only after the parser had
scanned the entire request and kept three heap strings per valid
pkt-line. The git routes raise the body limit to GITLAWB_MAX_PACK_BYTES —
2 GB by default — so a signed caller could force the whole scan and the
whole allocation and only then be told 400: the work the cap exists to
refuse, done in full before the refusal. The parser stops one past the
cap, which is still enough for bound_declared_refs to refuse on, and the
message no longer reports a count that would now be a floor rather than
the request's real one.
The cursor was the table-global bigserial, handed to clients verbatim and
accepted back as any non-negative integer, then passed straight into a
per-repo seq > $1. Two things followed from that, and both were silent.
A value issued by a DIFFERENT repository — or by this one before a
restore — is an ordinary larger number here, so the query matched
nothing, the surface answered 200 with an empty page and echoed the value
back, and the subscriber sat permanently past history it had never
received with nothing anywhere reading as an error. And because
repo_push_events is written by every repository on the node, the gaps
between one repository's cursors measured how much the others pushed in
between, private ones included.
The cursor is now an opaque token carrying a version, a binding to
(node DID, repository), and the id of the last event served. The binding
is a hash and not a MAC, because there is nothing to forge: the position
inside is a row id resolved against this repository's own rows anyway.
What it buys is that a foreign cursor is refused by shape, with a message
naming which mistake was made, instead of being applied to a repository
it was never issued for. An id that resolves to nothing — a token kept
across a restore that lost the row — is a 400 that names the recovery,
not an empty page the poller reads as being up to date.
The global sequence still orders the walk internally, which is what keeps
the page cheap, but it no longer leaves the node. The position is the row
id, which this surface already publishes in every event, so the token
discloses nothing new.
The two properties an earlier round established are kept, in their new
shape: next_cursor is never null and never moves backwards, and the start
of history is an expressible position rather than an absent one, so a
first poll of a repository with no events still hands back a token the
endpoint accepts back rather than a value a persisting poller would
misread.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
[P1] Rebase onto current main before merge crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:980
This head is based on fdf716d, while live main is bfc44f9; an actual merge has content conflicts in api/pulls.rs, api/repos.rs, db/mod.rs, and test_support.rs. Those include the receive-pack and persistence paths this feature changes, so resolve the rebase and have the resolved diff reviewed rather than merging the stale branch.
[P1] Resolve the failing CodeQL status before merge .github/workflows
The check rollup has a failed aggregate CodeQL status, even though its four named Analyze jobs succeeded, and the available check data provides no diagnostic to attribute it. Re-run or inspect that failed status after the rebase and do not merge until the required security check is green or its failure is explained.
Findings
[P1] Use the accepted-ref set for every post-receive effect crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1027
The receive-pack report is parsed into accepted at :980-993, but that value is used only for the new PR-head and poll-event writes. The rest of the success path switches back to the request-declared ref_updates: record_push selects its first SHA at :1027, certificates iterate it at :1043, webhooks at :1078, and later pin/replication/announcement work derives its tips from it. In a mixed push such as ng refs/heads/main plus ok refs/heads/third, the node therefore signs, sends, and may replicate metadata asserting that the rejected main SHA landed.
The root cause is two competing representations of the push transition after receive-pack: the declared request set and the verified result set. Make the verified accepted set the single source of truth for every post-receive side effect (including trust attribution, certificates, webhooks, pin candidates, and announcements). Keep the declared set only for pre-receive validation and operations that specifically need the client's proposed update.
[P1] Do not treat an absent or unreadable report-status as proof that all refs landed crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:1759 accepted_ref_updates returns declared.to_vec() whenever parse_report_status returns None. That happens when a client does not negotiate report-status, and also when the parser cannot decode the response. A zero process exit only says that receive-pack ran; it does not say each ref landed. Consequently, an unreported non-fast-forward or hook rejection can be recorded by the new PR-head and catch-up writers as an installed commit. The current comment calls this an availability tradeoff, but it violates the new surface's central integrity property: its persisted transition can name a SHA the repository does not contain.
The root cause is using “unknown” as though it meant “accepted.” Preserve the availability goal by deriving acceptance from a trustworthy source: require/verify report-status for the effects that need per-ref truth, or read the resulting refs under the existing repository lock before publishing state. If neither source can establish a ref's result, do not persist or announce it as a successful transition.
[P1] Snapshot the source head when closing a pull request crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/pulls.rs:301
New PRs always start with head_commit = NULL (:56-73), and close_pr only changes status. The only fallback that can populate that field is deliberately restricted to open PRs in rollup_head. Thus, if the source branch was pushed after this feature deployed but before the PR was created, then the PR is closed before its status endpoint is first read, its existing repo_push_events row is never consulted; later pushes also skip closed PRs. The closed PR permanently returns head_resolved: false, despite the source head being available in the new push-event history.
The root cause is that the lifecycle has a create/push/read fallback but no close-time capture: the status transition disables the only recovery path before recording the value that must be frozen. Resolve the source head while the PR is still open and persist it atomically with (or immediately before) the close transition. Keep the existing rule that subsequent pushes cannot move a closed or merged PR's stored head.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The security design here is the strongest part: owner gate before any row load with byte-identical 404s, signature provenance persisted and re-verified against the stored body at write time, opaque repo-scoped cursors with regression tests proving the global seq never leaks, and the rollup deliberately avoiding git-store acquire. What blocks merge for me is composition with #196: both rewrite the git_receive_pack tail, #196 detaches it and rolls refs back on durable-upload failure, while this requires head/event writes inside the lock on report-status-accepted refs. Composed naively, stored PR heads describe refs the node just rolled back. Whichever lands second must place these writes inside the lock, gated on upload success, and reconcile the error vocabulary (create_status uses AppError::TooManyRequests, which #196 deletes). The shared per-IP bucket with repo creation is a minor third note.
Land the merge on one mechanism per concern instead of two:
- landed_refs now intersects the declared set with the ok_set already
derived for the outcome commit, instead of re-parsing the report in
accepted_ref_updates; the helper's unreachable keep-declared arm (a
trap its own doc contradicted) is gone with the second parse.
- bound_declared_refs is deleted: main's parse_ref_updates already
refuses past MAX_REF_UPDATES inside the command loop, so the
post-parse check was dead code whose tests pinned an abandoned
design; the ordering test now pins the parse itself before git.
- merge_pr resolves the source head with read_ref (exact-name
show-ref) instead of listing every ref in the repo.
- normalize_sha reuses is_hex_sha; the refs/heads/ mapping reuses
store::local_branch_ref; test-only db methods and their SQL are
cfg(test)-gated; duplicated body_json/status_and_bytes test
helpers are hoisted to test_support.
Merge-artifact repair found by running the tests: scrape guards
track the renamed landed_refs binding and the reclaimed.release /
receive_pack_raw_with_reflog call names; the status migration
upgrade test rolls back to and asserts version 47 (not 24, which
main now owns); a doubled cfg(test), an orphaned doc block, and a
stale dead_code allow on StatusClaim.seq are corrected.
Review-driven fixes on the merged surface:
- close_pr freezes the source head it decided against, resolving the
recorded push for the branch (then disk) when head_commit is unset;
a PR closed before its first status read no longer reports
head_resolved=false forever.
- insert_status_claim_capped bounds its advisory-lock wait with
SET LOCAL lock_timeout and retries on transient classes, matching
the push-events writer's contract.
- record_push_events retries only transient failures (the inner bound
already retries lock waits; a permanent error's second run is a
guaranteed re-failure) and update_open_pr_heads retries once on
transient and escalates to error naming the lost branch@sha rows.
- parse_ref_updates lowercases old/new SHAs so pushed values match
the claim side's lowercase normalization.
- combined_state folds unrecognized stored states to failure, never
silently to success.
…xecutor
The stored-head and catch-up poll writes ran pre-release inside the repo
write lock, so a refused publish left rows claiming a landing the node had
deleted, and a landing reconcile proved only later emitted nothing at all.
Both are durable accounting and belong to the effect executor: the live
path reaches it only after the publish verdict, and the drain replays it
identically once reconcile proves the landing.
The ordering the in-lock placement guaranteed is kept differently: a head
write is conditioned on the branch still sitting at the landing's tip, so
a superseded landing never pins the rollup to a commit the branch moved
past. Event ids derive from (request_id, ordinal) so a recovery replay
collapses on ON CONFLICT instead of double-delivering.
Also: drop the node-global seq from the create response (id already names
the row), pin the claim body's signed format (deny_unknown_fields + v=1),
and carry Retry-After on 429.
The mounted-route completeness gates require every repo-scoped route to be
a driven registry row: the status read surfaces and the push-events poll
are read-gated (existence-hiding 404 for anon and signed non-readers,
owner reach twin proves the gate) and the claim write is owner-gated on a
public repo. {sha} fills as a fixed 40-hex placeholder.

Bound the pool close during teardown.
After the serve task is joined, pool.close() waits for every checked-out connection to return. A request blocked on a database lock can keep its connection checked out, and the pool sets no statement timeout. In that case the close never returns, so the wedged-shutdown panic after it never runs and the test hangs until the CI job times out. Bound the close with the same timeout, then fail with an explicit message.
Suggested fix
- self.pool.close().await;+ let pool_closed = tokio::time::timeout(timeout, self.pool.close())+ .await+ .is_ok();
let _ = std::fs::remove_dir_all(&self.repos_dir);
+ assert!(+ pool_closed,+ "pool did not close within {timeout:?}: a connection is still checked out"+ );

Rebased onto current main as a merge commit (contributor history preserved) and worked through the outstanding round. Where each item landed:
Accepted-ref effects: the head update and push-event writes now derive from the request's accepted transition rows (ok set), never the declared set.
Report-status vs landed proof: both writes moved into apply_request_effects, so they run only after the publish verdict on the live path and are replayed identically by the drain for landings reconcile proves later. Pre-release rows claiming a refused push are gone.
Ordering: the in-lock ordering the earlier placement guaranteed is kept via a tip check, so a head write only lands where the branch still sits at the pushed SHA and a superseded landing cannot pin the rollup to an older tip. Push-event ids are deterministic on (request_id, ordinal), so recovery replays collapse rather than double-deliver.
Source-head snapshot: close_pr now freezes the head the close decided against, same as merge.
Migration collision: the status migration is v47; the upgrade-path test rolls back to 46 and re-applies for real.
Wire tightening: the create response no longer echoes the global sequence (id names the row), the claim body is deny_unknown_fields + v=1, and 429s carry Retry-After.
The deny sweep now drives all four new routes (three read-gate rows plus the owner-gated claim write).
CodeQL and the merge-order question stay merge-time concerns, as before.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
Required CI is failing on this head (workflow run 43281503893). test (stable) and test (beta) each report 3 failed lib tests in crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:
Failure mode:bare_repo_with_ref calls git commit-tree without author identity; GitHub Actions has no global user.name / user.email, so the subprocess exits with Author identity unknown (panic at repos.rs:8588).
PR-owned:bare_repo_with_ref, heads_still_at_tip, and these tests are absent on merge-base55ca89b; they appear only on head 9519078316c2a8a89a0cba78083545e7a198a88d.
Local false negative: The same three tests can pass on a developer machine that already has git identity configured globally; CI is the authoritative signal for this defect.
Merge base matches live main (55ca89b on review date). No rebase conflict signal from target drift.
Other required checks on that run:fmt + clippy, build --release, MSRV, CodeRabbit, and Rust CodeQL passed; only the workspace test jobs are red.
Reviewed, not raised as findings (real vs drift)
These surfaces were exercised in a full diff review plus blind searches. They are not omitted bugs, pre-existing main debt, or reviewer scope expansion:
Topic
Verdict
Push-events / repo_push_events written in effect bundle step 7a, not inline on HTTP
Documented design in durable_outbox.rs and PR body (catch-up poll, not synchronous with receive-pack response). Not a request to redesign durable effects.
Stale non-NULL head_commit when heads_still_at_tip skips a superseded landing
Documented contract in repos.rs / status/mod.rs (not self-healing; read fallback when column is NULL). Fixing via read-side reconciliation would exceed this PR's stated surface.
Pre-rollout branches with no repo_push_events rows
Documented residual in status/mod.rs.
Close/merge preserving existing head_commit when already set
Intentional freeze in pulls.rs + DB COALESCE.
Status projection filtered by currentowner_did (KTD-5)
Intentional; matches module and SQL comments.
Owner-only POST …/statuses/:sha
PR intent (owner-gated). See Needs maintainer decision for delegated producers later.
Malformed push-event cursor → 400 after read gate
Tested tradeoff to avoid repo existence oracle.
limit parse failure → default page size
Documented in list_repo_push_events.
Concurrent seq keyset on repo_push_events
Mitigated by per-repo advisory lock and inline documentation on insert_repo_push_events.
No additional actionable code defects survived attribution against merge-base and the PR's in-diff operator claims.
Needs maintainer decision
Delegated CI status reporters (non-owner DID with valid signature posting claims): current implementation requires require_repo_owner. That matches this PR's description. If product wants GitHub-style third-party reporters before UCAN delegation lands, that is a follow-on feature choice—not a defect to fix silently in this diff.
🟡 P2 — heads_still_at_tip git subprocess tests must not depend on the host git identity
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs — helper bare_repo_with_ref and the three heads_still_at_tip_* unit tests that call it (the fourth test, heads_still_at_tip_skips_deletions_and_absent_refs, does not use bare_repo_with_ref and passes on CI).
💥 What fails: On a host with no global git author (CI), bare_repo_with_ref runs git commit-tree and the subprocess fails before the test reaches heads_still_at_tip:
git ["commit-tree", "4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904", "-m", "tip object"]: Author identity unknown
*** Please tell me who you are.
Three tests fail; cargo test --workspace does not pass on required CI.
🔎 Root cause: The helper builds a bare repo using std::process::Command::new("git") without setting GIT_AUTHOR_NAME / GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL (and committer equivalents). Other tests in this crate already set those env vars on git subprocesses for the same reason.
📜 Stated contract:
Before you request review — cargo test --workspace passes locally
(PR body checklist.)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base has no bare_repo_with_ref or heads_still_at_tip tests.
🔒 Unchanged on main: Production heads_still_at_tip and effect-bundle wiring; no change required outside the test helper pattern.
🔧 Required correction: In bare_repo_with_ref, configure git identity on every Command (the inner run closure and the mktree/commit-tree spawn), matching existing tests — for example GIT_AUTHOR_NAME / GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL / GIT_COMMITTER_NAME / GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL as used in crates/gitlawb-node/src/durable_outbox.rs or crates/gitlawb-node/src/git/store.rs. Re-run the four heads_still_at_tip_* tests and confirm cargo test --workspace on CI.
🛠️ Author fix: Fix the helper once so the three failing tests and any future caller of bare_repo_with_ref pass in identity-stripped environments. Do not change production push/head logic to satisfy this.
🚫 Out of scope: Configuring git globally in CI workflows (the repo pattern is per-command env), and unrelated test flakes in other crates.
…est git identity
- close_pr refuses a PR that is not open and the UPDATE is conditional on
status='open', so a repeated close cannot store the branch's current tip
on a historical pull request.
- Remove Retry-After from 429s. The status-claim caps are per-commit and
append-only, so a 1s hint invited retries that cannot succeed.
- bare_repo_with_ref sets git author and committer env so the
heads_still_at_tip tests pass on hosts with no global git identity (CI).
bare_repo_with_ref calls git commit-tree without author identity; GitHub Actions has no global user.name / user.email
Fixed in ddc4a2c. bare_repo_with_ref now sets GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_* on every git call. With the global config and identity env removed, the three heads_still_at_tip_* tests failed with Author identity unknown before the change and pass after it.
Bound the pool close during teardown. (CodeRabbit, test_harness.rs:317)
Out of scope here: this PR adds the commit-status surface, and the teardown code predates it (it changes that file by one fixture line). A hang there fails the test job loudly rather than passing silently. Leaving it for a follow-up.

crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs:939 Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Read the complete HTTP upgrade response before reading WebSocket frames.
If TCP splits the upgrade response, one read() can return only part of its headers. If that part includes the status line, the assertion passes. ws_recv_text then interprets the remaining HTTP headers as a WebSocket frame and can wait indefinitely for an invalid payload length. A shorter first read can also fail the assertion incorrectly.
In both helpers, read through \r\n\r\n before decoding WebSocket frames. Preserve any bytes received after that delimiter.

🟡 P2 — Close must not overwrite a push-recorded pull request head
💥 What fails: Under concurrent load, not on every sequential close. When an open pull request has no head_commit at handler load time, close_pr resolves a branch snapshot and passes Some into the database. Another request’s apply_request_effects can run set_open_pr_heads_batch or set_pr_head_if_absent and set head_commit to tip B before the close UPDATE commits. The close SQL still applies the close-time snapshot A because it uses head_commit = COALESCE($3, head_commit) with non-null $3:
UPDATE pull_requests SET status='closed', updated_at=$1,
head_commit=COALESCE($3, head_commit) WHERE id=$2AND status='open'
Whenever $3 is non-null, it replaces the column even when the column already holds B. Closed PR status rollup and combined status can then target A while the branch and push accounting already recorded B. The handler only skips resolving when pr.head_commit was set at read time; it does not re-read the row before UPDATE (contrast merge_pr, which reads the source ref under the repo write lock immediately before persisting).
🔎 Root cause: Close-time head freeze is a new PR path that does not honor the same “do not roll back a concurrent push head” rule the push and read-side fillers already follow. COALESCE($3, head_commit) always prefers the close bind parameter over the existing column.
📜 Stated contract:
head_commit IS NULL makes the write self-limiting … or from rolling a head a concurrent push already recorded back to a staler branch tip.
(Db::set_pr_head_if_absent, in this PR’s db/mod.rs.)
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. At merge-base, close_pr did not set head_commit; this PR adds the close snapshot in pulls.rs and head_commit=COALESCE($3, head_commit) in db/mod.rs.
📌 In this PR:
api/pulls.rs — close_pr resolves closed_head without a repo write lock and without re-reading head_commit after concurrent effects may have stored a head
db/mod.rs — close_pr SQL prefers the bind parameter over the existing column whenever the parameter is non-null
🔒 Unchanged on main: Push-path head writers (set_open_pr_heads, set_pr_head_if_absent) and merge’s write-lock snapshot pattern should not be redesigned in this PR.
🔧 Required correction: Preserve any head_commit a concurrent push already stored, while still freezing a head when the column is null at close time. A minimal in-diff fix is head_commit = COALESCE(head_commit, $3) so a non-null column is never replaced, or an equivalent compare-and-set / re-read immediately before update. Add regression coverage for close racing an in-flight head write from the push effect bundle or rollup set_pr_head_if_absent.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every In this PR row in one pass (handler, SQL, and a concurrency or ordering test). Do not patch only the SQL or only the handler.
🚫 Out of scope: Rebuilding durable-outbox delivery, changing receive-pack HTTP 200 semantics when apply_request_effects returns Retry, branch-deletion poll semantics, KTD-7 unverified SHAs, or other unchanged main behavior outside this PR’s head-freeze feature.
Read the complete HTTP upgrade response before reading WebSocket frames. (CodeRabbit, server.rs:939 and :1077)
Declining here. Both stream.read calls are test helpers that came in with #553 and are already on main. This PR's server.rs changes are the status import, the status write routes and their body-limit layer, so those helpers are outside this change. Worth its own small PR.

crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/events.rs:2557-2558 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Remove the whole-token sequence substring checks; the position assertion already covers the leak.
The two !…contains(&seq.to_string()) assertions scan the whole cursor and the decoded token. The decoded token includes the hash tag from push_cursor_tag, which is 16 hex characters. If that tag contains the sequence's decimal digits, such as 21, the test fails even though no sequence is encoded. The tag depends on node_did, so this can happen intermittently across runs.
The exact check on the row-ID field at lines 2562-2567 already proves that the position is evt-1 and does not contain the sequence. The substring checks add only false failures.
Suggested fix
- assert!(- !cursor.contains(&seq.to_string()),- "the encoded cursor must not spell the global sequence, got {cursor}"- );
let decoded = String::from_utf8(URL_SAFE_NO_PAD.decode(&cursor).expect("base64url"))
.expect("utf-8 token");
- assert!(- !decoded.contains(&seq.to_string()),- "decoding the cursor must not reveal the global sequence either, got \- {decoded}"- );

Propagate the head-lookup error before closing the pull request.
If latest_push_sha_for_ref fails and the on-disk ref read finds no ref, .ok() turns the database error into an absent head. Db::close_pr then closes the pull request with head_commit NULL. rollup_head returns None for any non-open pull request without a stored head, so the closed pull request's status target stays unresolved, even after the database recovers.
Propagate the error with ?. The close then fails while the pull request is still open, and the caller can retry.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
CI test (stable) and test (beta) were still pending on the latest workflow run when this review was prepared; fmt + clippy, build --release, MSRV, CodeQL, and changed-surface checks had passed. Re-run or wait for the matrix jobs before merge if your policy requires green integration tests.
Live main was at the same SHA as this branch’s merge-base (5a7576b682e1fc2566c25b09a1b69edf85e836cb), so no rebase drift was observed.
Concurrent duplicate pull_request.closed webhooks when two closes race are unchanged from pre-merge-base close_pr HTTP behavior; this PR’s SQL status='open' guard already prevents the worse head-refreeze case the new tests target. Tighter HTTP idempotency (rows_affected → 400, single webhook) is optional follow-up, not held as a merge blocker here.
Findings
🟡 P2 — Propagate database errors when close_pr resolves an empty head
📍 Where:POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/close head-freeze block in crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/pulls.rs.
💥 What fails: When head_commit is still empty, the handler calls latest_push_sha_for_ref and turns any database error into “no row” via .await.ok().flatten(), then may fall back to read_ref or close with no head.
state
.db.latest_push_sha_for_ref(&record.id,&branch_ref).await.ok().flatten()
A transient database failure therefore follows the same path as a repo that genuinely has no push-event row, instead of failing the close like the rollup read path does.
🔎 Root cause: The new head-freeze block treats lookup failure like absence. The sibling rollup resolver in this PR propagates the same database call with ?.
📜 Stated contract:
The rollup fallback is one database read: latest_push_sha_for_ref … (rollup_head in crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/status/mod.rs, implemented with ? on that call).
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base close_pr did not perform this lookup.
📌 In this PR:
pulls::close_pr head resolution — swallows Err
status::rollup_head — propagates Err on the same helper (contrast)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Other close_pr callers unchanged.
🔧 Required correction: Match rollup_head: propagate latest_push_sha_for_ref errors with ?. Keep disk read_ref fallback only after Ok(None). Add a regression test that forces the database call to fail and expects a non-2xx close without firing pull_request.closed.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on the close handler and its test in one pass. Do not change rollup persist or merge semantics.
🚫 Out of scope: Changing how repo_push_events is populated or redesigning head resolution sources.

Summary
Adds a commit status surface so an external CI system can report a verdict against a commit and readers can see it, including a rolled-up state on a pull request head. The node executes nothing: this is the reporting half only.
Motivation & context
A repo here can be pushed to, reviewed, and merged, but there is nowhere to record whether the code is any good, so anyone who wants build results keeps a GitHub mirror. Every mirror is a reason a GitHub outage still reaches our users.
The gap was narrower than it looked. A completed push already fires an outbound
pushwebhook whose payload mirrors GitHub's shape, so the trigger half existed and the reporting half did not.I looked at running CI on the node and decided against it. Gitea, GitLab, sourcehut and Radicle all put the executor out of process, GitHub's own docs say self-hosted runners should almost never serve public repos, and every major free CI provider gated access in 2021 after cryptomining abuse. A node here is structurally the "public repo, operator's machine" case. That decision is settled, not open for this PR.

All in
gitlawb-node.status_claimstable ordered by a database-assigned sequence, a nullablehead_commitonpull_requests, andrepo_push_events.POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha}, owner-gated, validated, rate-limited, with three write caps.GET .../commits/{sha}/statusandGET .../pulls/{number}/status, both behind the existing repo read gate.GET .../push-events, a cursor-paged catch-up surface so a checker that missed a webhook can still find the commit.head_commitmaintained on push and frozen at close or merge, so the rollup has an honest target.require_signaturenow attaches the verified RFC 9421 material as a request extension, so the write path can persist what a signature actually covered.Version 24 rather than 18:
pr-173andfix/issue-135-ipfs-cid-tree-gateboth claim through 23, and the runner keys only on version without comparing the recorded name, so a collision is a silent full skip rather than an error.Three design calls worth stating plainly rather than leaving to be inferred. The wire shape follows GitHub's commit status contract, which buys existing status-consuming clients and settles an inconsistency we already had at the push webhook. Writes are append-only claims and the visible status is a projection over them, which is what keeps a later move to signed attestations a substrate swap. Each claim stores the signature and the bytes it covered, because a claim nobody can re-verify after the request is gone is not history that substrate could adopt.

Content-Digestmandatory and refused duplicated covered components. Those are a protocol change, they are not needed by this feature, and they wanted their own scrutiny, so they now live in #306 behind #305. This branch has been rebased to drop them and depends on nothing there.Notes for reviewers
Known limitations, stated up front.
No first producer is named yet. Nothing in this PR runs CI, and no specific system is committed to reporting into it. It can merge complete and still not answer the question that motivated it until someone points a checker at it.
The rollup fallback only helps going forward. When a pull request has no stored head, it resolves from
repo_push_events, which only carries pushes that land after this deploys. A pull request whose branch was last pushed before then stays unresolved until it is pushed again. There is no backfill.Two contracts are not enforced by a guard yet. No verdict data reaches gossip, the GraphQL broadcast channel, or anchoring, and I checked that by reading rather than assuming, but the source-scrape test that would keep a future edit from adding one is deferred. So is a reference signing shim.
No
glor MCP coverage. The signing path already exists in the client, so this is a missing wrapper rather than a reachability problem, but the status domain has none of the roughly thirty tools the other domains have.Two behaviours I would rather you agree with than discover. A replayed byte-identical write is idempotent and returns the original claim instead of erroring, which also means two genuinely separate reports with identical bodies inside the same clock second collapse into one, since RFC 9421 signs
createdat second granularity. And the pull request rollup persists a resolved head during an unauthenticated GET, bounded in SQL so it fires at most once per pull request.head_commitnow appears on existing pull request responses through the record's serialization. Additive, and the head is already derivable by anyone who can list refs, but it is a response shape change rather than an invisible one.Summary by CodeRabbit
