Bound federated repository aggregation so peer responses cannot cause unbounded
allocation, fan-out, or request duration. Return partial results with an explicit truncated flag when a peer or aggregate budget is exceeded.
Register the bounded peer-query fixture in the writer ledger, name federation bounds, and share the state-owned limiter across routers and the cleanup sweep. Cover exhausted-bucket rejection before database access.
The federated repository endpoint now limits peer selection, peer response size, concurrent fetches, elapsed time, and aggregate rows and bytes. It reports truncation when data or peer work is omitted. The route also applies a per-IP rate limit.

Summary
Bound peer data and aggregate results crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs
Peer pages are limited to 200 repositories and 512 KiB. Concurrent fetches, per-peer time, aggregate time, total repositories, and serialized response bytes are bounded. These limits and truncation behavior are documented.
Query peers and build the response crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs
The route queries eligible peers with a bounded limit, aggregates local and peer results, and returns included counts and truncation status. Tests cover peer selection, response annotations, and omitted or failed peer results.
Apply and maintain the route rate limit crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/state.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/main.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/auth/mod.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/test_support.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs
The route uses a dedicated limiter configured for 12 requests per 60 seconds and up to 10,000 tracked keys. App state, fixtures, sweeping, and rate-limit tests include the limiter.

Twigpine/node#87: Adds the build_state fixture that this change updates for the new limiter.
The new bounds on the federated endpoint are sound and the endpoint is rate limited. The limiter runs after signature verification, so flood traffic still costs some CPU before rejection. This is a bounded hardening gap worth fixing soon, not a blocker.

Verified on this head: the peers query is LIMIT-bound, the per-peer body cap fires mid-stream without Content-Length, the 200-row page bound truncates rather than rejects, the aggregate deadline and concurrency cap hold, the per-IP brake rejects before any database access, and the peers-table write guard is registered. Removing each of those guards individually turns the new tests red, so the protections are real. One gap in the coverage, not the logic.
Findings
[P2] Pin the federated response contract end to end crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:3206
The new envelope is exercised only at unit level: tests assert budget internals and a self-constructed JSON body, but nothing reads truncated, nodes_queried, or the node_url/node_did/local annotations from a real handler response. On this head I hardcoded "truncated": false in the handler, deleted the failed-peer aggregate.truncated = true, and dropped node_did from enrich_federated_repo; all nine federated tests stayed green in each case. Assert the fields on an actual 200 body (the route tests already drive build_router), and add one case that observes truncated == true; seeding MAX_FEDERATED_PEERS + 2 peer rows with the fixture INSERT makes that reachable without a live peer.
One process note, not a finding: the handler still scans all local repos (list_all_repos_with_stars plus the visibility-rules load) outside the aggregate deadline, so per-request work stays proportional to local repo count. That matches the standing exposure on GET /api/v1/repos, so it is not an ask here, but bounding the local page with the same LIMIT-plus-sentinel shape used for peers would finish the bound this PR starts.
Not an ask, recorded only: nodes_queried counts peers that returned a usable page, not peers contacted; an exactly-full budget reports truncated: true even when nothing was omitted; a peers-table error now fails the whole request instead of degrading to local-only results; and a compliant peer whose 200-row page exceeds 512 KiB is dropped whole rather than partially used.

- envelope fields (count, nodes_queried, truncated) and local annotations
(node_url, node_did, local) for a seeded public repo
- truncated == true when the peer table overflows MAX_FEDERATED_PEERS

- peer annotations (node_url, node_did, local: false) via a mockito peer

Verified on this head against main: the new route tests do pin the envelope
end to end. Deleting the failed-fetch truncated assignment, hardcoding
"truncated": false, or dropping the node_did enrichment each turns a route
test red, and the deadline, peers-query clamp, streaming byte cap, and
route-layer ordering all re-verified the same way. One suite-level failure
and two pins that still are not load-bearing.
Findings
[P1] Disposition the three new peers-table writers in the writer ledger crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:8387
cargo test -p gitlawb-node peers_table_writer_guard fails on this head: the
scan finds 12 writers against a 9-entry LEDGER. Each new route test issues a
raw INSERT INTO peers (repos.rs:3946, 3972, 4008) with no ledger row and no
entry in the disposition table above it. Raw SQL is the right fixture shape
here since upsert_peer refuses the loopback URLs these tests need; add the
three ("name", 1) rows and matching table entries, same as the
federated_peer_query_is_bounded precedent.
[P2] Give the peer-overflow flag its own witness crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:3946
The overflow test seeds 202 peers at an unreachable address, so its
truncated == true is satisfied by the failed-fetch arm even with the count
check gone: deleting aggregate.truncated |= peers.len() > MAX_FEDERATED_PEERS
keeps it green. Point the seeds at one reachable stub returning [] and
assert nodes_queried, so only the bound can set the flag. Same shape of gap
in the envelope test at 3911: the seeded repo is owned by the node DID, so
stamping owner_did in place of node_did at 3149 also stays green. Seed a
repo owned by a different DID.
[P3] Pin the outbound peer page request on the mock crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs:3999
match_query(Matcher::Any) accepts any query string, so the
?limit=200&offset=0 request the bounded fan-out depends on is unpinned;
dropping the params stays green. Match or capture the query in
federated_route_annotates_peer_repos_on_real_200_body.
Not an ask, recorded only: the fetcher dials whatever http_url a peers row
carries with no fetch-time re-validation beyond last_ping_ok; identical on
main, and this change narrows the reachable set, so it is worth a separate
fix-up rather than an ask here. nodes_queried counts peers that returned a
usable page rather than attempts, and truncated also fires on an exact-boundary
aggregate fill; both match the docstring's reading.
- db/mod.rs: add writer-ledger entries and disposition docs for the
three federated route tests touching the peers table
- api/repos.rs: seed the envelope test repo under a non-node owner DID
so node_did must equal the actual node DID; pin the outbound peer
query to exact limit=200&offset=0; make the peer-table-overflow test
use a reachable stub for every peer so the count bound is the only
possible reason for truncated=true, and assert nodes_queried

Re-submission of the closed #409 (federated aggregation bounds). Same note as the closed round: the per-peer byte budget and row caps need tests, and the rebase should account for the current federation collector shape. Coordinating the landing order with #465 avoids a double-rebase of the shared collector.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Re-checked head a7f931d against origin/main at bfc44f9. The prior round ledger, overflow witness, envelope pins, and mock query assertions are all on this head. I ran cargo test -p gitlawb-node federated_, peers_table_writer_guard, and cargo clippy -p gitlawb-node --all-targets -- -D warnings on the PR branch locally; all passed. Removing aggregate.truncated |= peers.len() > MAX_FEDERATED_PEERS turns federated_route_reports_truncated_when_peer_table_overflows red, so the peer-table bound is load-bearing, not only the failed-fetch path.
Not an ask, recorded only: the handler still loads the full local repo inventory before the aggregate budget applies, same shape as on main before this PR. nodes_queried counts peers that returned a usable page, and truncated also fires on exact-boundary aggregate fill, matching the docstring.
One process note, not a finding: rebasing onto recent main will likely conflict with other open work on repos.rs and state.rs; coordinate with #465 if you are both touching federation-adjacent code.
Rebased onto current main at 0e5a160. Conflicts resolved in crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/repos.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/main.rs, crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs and crates/gitlawb-node/src/state.rs, composing both sides (upstream close_issue_rate_limiter and the seed_peer ledger entry kept alongside the new federated_rate_limiter). Tests: cargo fmt --all -- --check and cargo check --workspace --all-targets pass on the rebased tree, and the peers-table writer guard matches its ledger; the Postgres-backed federated tests could not run on this VM (no Postgres available), with the PR diff content-identical to the previously approved head.

collect_federated_fetches waits on the real 10-second FEDERATED_AGGREGATE_DEADLINE, and this test waits for it in wall-clock time. Every test run therefore pays about 10 seconds for one case. The tokio dev-dependency already enables test-util. With start_paused = true, the runtime auto-advances to the timeout_at deadline. The 12-second outer guard then still confirms that collection stops before the caller deadline.

Update the Tokio test attribute for
federated_aggregate_deadline_returns_partial_results to start the test runtime
paused, preserving the existing deadline and outer-guard assertions while
allowing Tokio to advance time automatically.
The federated IP limiter runs after optional_signature, not before it.
route_layer attaches the limiter to the route's MethodRouter. The later .layer(optional_signature) on read_routes wraps the whole router, including that route layer. optional_signature therefore runs first. It buffers the request body, up to SIGNED_BODY_LIMIT (2 MiB), and verifies any signature before the limiter can return 429.
The limiter still protects the handler's DB and peer fan-out work. It does not protect this pre-auth work. The other IP-braked routes, such as ipfs_routes, git_write_routes and creation_routes, put the limiter outermost. Their comments say this is so flood traffic is rejected before signature verification uses CPU. This route breaks that pattern.
Move the route into its own router. Put the limiter outermost and keep optional_signature, because the handler reads AuthenticatedDid for per-caller visibility.

Review comment at @crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs around lines 388 - 396:
Move the `/api/v1/repos/federated` route for `repos::list_federated_repos` out
of `read_routes` into a dedicated router, with the IP rate limiter outside
`optional_signature` so requests are throttled before signature verification
buffers or processes the body. Preserve `optional_signature` and its
`SIGNED_BODY_LIMIT` configuration so the handler retains `AuthenticatedDid` for
per-caller visibility, then merge the dedicated router into the final router.
Make the federated limiter configurable and define it in one place.
The values 12, 60 seconds and 10_000 are hard-coded here. They are repeated in auth/mod.rs and test_support.rs, and they appear again in the state.rs and repos.rs doc comments. The sibling limiters have operator knobs: GITLAWB_PUSH_RATE_LIMIT, GITLAWB_CLOSE_ISSUE_RATE_LIMIT and the sync limits. This one has none.
This matters when GITLAWB_TRUSTED_PROXY is unset, which is the default. client_key then resolves every client behind a proxy or NAT to one key. The whole node then shares a budget of 12 requests per minute on this public endpoint, and an operator cannot raise it.
Add a config knob with a default of 12. Alternatively, add one shared constructor, for example RateLimiter::federated(), and use it in main.rs, auth/mod.rs and test_support.rs. Then a value change cannot make the fixtures differ from production.
