Re-homes #464 (fix(node)!: gate agent-task reads behind visibility rules) onto an upstream branch so the upstream-only Code Quality check can run. Task reads now return null/404 for callers who cannot see the backing repo or task, closing an existence-and-content leak across REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket task surfaces.
Motivation & context
Before this, any caller could enumerate and read every agent task on a node regardless of repo visibility: private and quarantined repos' tasks, their assignees, payloads, and UCAN tokens were readable by anyone, and a failed claim revealed that a task existed and was reserved. Contributor PR #464 was approved at an earlier head; this branch carries the same commits on current main so the required check can run.

What changed
gitlawb-node: every task read surface (REST list/get, GraphQL task/tasks/taskById, WS task query) gates through get_visible_task; claim/complete/fail gate through get_claimable_task. Ineligible callers get the same 404/not-found as a missing task, so denials never leak existence or reservations.
gitlawb-node: sealed opaque task cursors for keyset pagination, bound to position, filter, and caller; anonymous cursors cannot resume an authenticated scan.
gitlawb-node: per-request task scan budget and an IP rate limiter on task read routes, shared by REST and GraphQL.
gitlawb-node: UCAN tokens never appear in read responses or GraphQL errors.
gl: task client and MCP surface updates matching the gated contract.
Mirror-repo rows (slash-form ids, whose own visibility pair is vacuous) fail closed on every gate.
Merge detail: 52 contributor commits preserved author-identical from 1514f3d8; one maintainer merge commit brings main at a4026e84. Conflicts resolved by union: both error helpers kept in api/tasks.rs, the PR's GraphQL complete_task/fail_task mutations (which ort had dropped) restored against finish_task's new actor_did signature, stored-assignee by_did (#550 contract) on all task event broadcasts, and two stale test oracles updated for the merged contract (ineligible claim is 404, list_tasks_keyset normalizes the assignee filter).
How a reviewer can verify
On main, a permissionless caller gets task rows back:
curl -s localhost:8080/api/v1/tasks | jq '.count'# >0 for tasks on private repos
On this branch the same call returns count: 0 and a per-id GET returns 404. Locally: cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node task exercises the gate on list, get, claim, complete, fail, GraphQL, WS, cursors, deny windows, and the mirror-row case.

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
DID-matching and UCAN handling change (assignee normalization, UCAN redaction); signed artifacts and wire formats are untouched. The breaking item is the read contract, called out in the title: callers that could previously read gated tasks now get 404/not-found.
Mirror-row handling: a task on a slash-form mirror id cannot establish read access (its is_public/visibility_rules pair is hardcoded empty/true), so every gate fails closed on it; mirror_only_repo_task_is_hidden_from_anonymous_reads covers the no-canonical-twin case.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Task lists now support cursor-based pagination across REST, GraphQL, and CLI, with completeness information and warnings when results are incomplete.
Task reads respect repository and task visibility, and omit authorization tokens from returned task data.
Anonymous task reads are limited to 1,200 requests per client IP per hour by default; this limit can be disabled in configuration.
Bug Fixes
Task claim and completion conflicts now return clearer conflict errors, while inaccessible tasks are not disclosed as available.
Documentation
Updated security and configuration guidance for task visibility, pagination, and read limits.
…repo data
list_tasks and get_task had no authorization at all: any anonymous caller
could enumerate every task on the node, including another party's
repo-less task, its ucan_token, and its payload (#268). Add task_visible,
mirroring the repo read-visibility gate already used by the ref-updates
feed: the delegator and assignee can always read their own task, a
repo-scoped task follows that repo's normal visibility rules, and a task
naming no repo (or a repo this node doesn't host) is visible only to its
delegator/assignee. Both REST and GraphQL now route through the same
collect_visible_tasks/get_visible_task collectors so the two surfaces
cannot drift, and neither read path echoes ucan_token back, since the
holder already received it via the create/claim response.
Fixes#268
tasks_limit_ceiling_clamped_to_200 seeded 201 repo-less tasks and read
them back anonymously, expecting all 200. That read is exactly the
enumeration #268 closes, so the new visibility gate correctly returns
none of them and the test went red. The clamp ceiling is what this test
pins, not the gate, so query as the tasks' delegator, who can legitimately
see all 201 rows.
Refs #268
collect_visible_tasks loaded every repo on the node and every visibility
rule in order to gate at most 200 tasks, so an anonymous request paid for
the whole node's repo and rule set. Narrow both lookups to the repo ids the
fetched page actually names, and skip them when no task names a repo.
The deduped repo snapshot stays the source of truth for resolving a
repo_id: it collapses mirror and canonical pairs and omits quarantined
repos, and an id missing from it has to keep failing closed. Resolving ids
straight from the repos table would surface exactly those withheld rows.
Add GraphQL denial tests as well. Nothing pinned that the task resolvers
delegate to the shared collectors, so a resolver that queried the database
directly would not have gone red.
Refs #268
Canonicalize RFC 3339 timestamps in parse_after_cursor to handle URL-decoded spaces, reject mixed cursor alias families, gate complete_task and fail_task behind get_visible_task so unreadable tasks 404 instead of leaking existence with 403, and only flag incomplete when hitting candidate ceilings on full SQL batches.
Refs #268
Gate REST and GraphQL claim behind the same visibility check as complete and fail, refuse claim when another assignee already holds the task, and only broadcast publicly visible task events. Treat a full list page as incomplete when more candidates remain. Surface HTTP errors from CLI and MCP claim and complete helpers.
Refs #327
Co-Authored-By: cairn-code <cairn-code@users.noreply.github.com>
A full visible page was flagged incomplete whenever the SQL batch was full, so the first page of any list with more than 200 candidates looked stalled. Align the GraphQL claim test with the visibility gate's not-found message.
Refs #268
Review required tests that go red if the pre-assigned claim predicate or
the anonymous announce gate is deleted, and incomplete must not stay
true when the candidate stream is exhausted at the scan ceiling. Route
claim, complete, and fail through AppError so closed-pool outages stay
503 and 404s match the read envelope.
Refs #268
create_task stores the supplied assignee unchanged, so a raw SQL
equality check drops a designated assignee who presents the other
did:key form. Compare the normalized key so claim and filtered list
agree with did_matches.
Refs #268
The task read path treated visibility, pagination, and error vocabulary as
separate edits, so each one broke where they met. Rework them as one contract.
A raw (created_at, id) cursor forced a choice between two broken options: it
could name the last visible row, and then a denied window longer than the
1,000-candidate scan budget was unpageable forever; or it could name the last
examined row, and then a denied read leaked the id and timestamp of a task
GET /tasks/{id} otherwise 404s. Continuation tokens remove the choice. They
carry the last examined candidate, so paging always advances a full scan budget
per request, and they are encrypted and authenticated under a node-derived key,
so the caller learns nothing from one and cannot forge one naming a row of
their choosing. Encryption is a synthetic-IV construction over the hmac/sha2
pair already used for webhook signatures, so it adds no dependency and needs no
randomness source.
Making the token the only accepted cursor also gives the ordering key one
domain. agent_tasks.created_at is TEXT and compared as TEXT, so a caller-typed
'...Z' and '...+00:00' denote one instant but sort differently, and a client
could silently skip or repeat same-time rows. The token carries the stored
string verbatim, so the value compared is always one the server wrote. The raw
after_*/cursor_* pairs are removed rather than kept alongside it, since a second
domain is the bug.
Separate the two facts the old single incomplete flag conflated: has_more says
candidates remain, incomplete says this page is short only because the
authorization scan hit its ceiling. Both REST and GraphQL now return has_more,
incomplete, and next_cursor from the shared collector, and REST echoes the limit
it actually applied so a clamped request is visible as clamped.
Have gl task list and MCP task_list follow next_cursor instead of issuing one
request: --limit 500 returned a successful but silently truncated 200 rows.
Following is bounded by a page cap and a no-progress guard, and a run stopped by
either reports an explicit incomplete result with a resume cursor.
Route claimTask, completeTask, and failTask through the same task_write_conflict
classifier the REST handlers use, via curated helpers in the graphql module so
the map_err source guard still holds. A claim race or stale finish reached
GraphQL clients as a generic database error while REST clients got an actionable
conflict; genuine sqlx faults stay opaque on both.
Refs #327
A short SQL batch means no rows exist past it, not that every row in it was
examined. When the page filled mid-batch the collector treated the two as the
same, marked the stream ended, and suppressed the continuation, so every row
after the one that filled the page was unreachable. The equal-timestamp paging
tests caught it: three rows with a limit of one returned only the first.
Track how much of each batch was consumed and end the stream only when the
whole of a short batch has been examined. Otherwise leave `has_more` to the
probe row, which resumes from the last examined candidate.
Refs #327
…der test
A `--limit 0` reached the node, which clamped it to zero and answered with
an empty page marked complete, so an invalid request read as proof that no
tasks exist. Reject a non-positive limit in `fetch_tasks()`, the helper the
CLI and MCP share, so the guard cannot drift between the two surfaces.
`task_write_sql_faults_stay_opaque` did not exercise what it named. Dropping
`updated_at` also broke the SELECT in `get_task()`, so the fault surfaced
from the `get_visible_task()` pre-check through `graphql_app_err` and never
reached `graphql_claim_conflict`. A `BEFORE UPDATE` trigger keeps every read
valid and faults only inside `Db::claim_task`, and the test now also asserts
that a write-time fault is not reclassified as a claim race.
Refs #268
…utes
A continuation token names the last candidate a scan examined, not the last
row it returned, so it encodes how far that scan got under one caller's
visibility. The MAC bound the page filter but not the presenting identity,
so resuming a token as a different caller started the scan past rows that
caller was entitled to read and dropped them from the answer with nothing
to signal the loss. Bind the caller's normalized DID into the MAC, with
anonymous flagged absent rather than encoded as empty. Normalization goes
through normalize_owner_key so the two spellings of one did:key identity
bind identically, matching did_matches on the read path: a caller who
presents the other form of their own DID keeps their own page. A mismatched
token renders the existing single rejection message, so this adds no oracle.
GET /api/v1/tasks and GET /api/v1/tasks/{id} are anonymously reachable, and
the visibility gate costs a task lookup plus deduped-repo and
visibility-rule queries before it can return the opaque 404. An
unauthenticated prober therefore pays nothing while the node pays per
request, whether or not the id exists. Attach the per-IP limiter already
used on /ipfs/{cid}, configurable through GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT and
swept by the periodic task like every other per-key limiter.
Refs #268
The per-IP brake added for the task read routes covered only
/api/v1/tasks*, so an anonymous caller reached the same
collect_visible_tasks and get_visible_task gate over /graphql with no
bucket at all. The fence had an open lane beside it.
Carry the brake as GraphQL request data and debit it in the tasks and
task resolvers rather than layering rate_limit_by_ip onto the GraphQL
router: /graphql is one endpoint for every operation, so a router layer
would charge unrelated queries and every mutation against the task-read
bucket. Debiting per resolved field also prices an aliased query
honestly, since ten aliased tasks fields run the gate ten times.
Extract RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE so the GraphQL surface, which cannot return a
429 status inside a 200 envelope, refuses with the same text the REST
routes use.
/graphql/ws serves the query root as well and stays unbraked; closing it
needs a WebSocketUpgrade handler and is left for a follow-up.
Refs #268
Refs #327
…more from visible rows
- Cap aliased GraphQL task read fields per request using an atomic counter
on TaskReadBrake (MAX_GRAPHQL_TASK_READS_PER_REQUEST = 5).
- Derive has_more in collect_visible_tasks by scanning for bounded_limit + 1
visible rows, eliminating the un-gated keyset probe that could leak the
presence of trailing denied tasks.
- Add regression tests covering aliased GraphQL capping and trailing denied
task has_more privacy.
Refs #327
… batch boundary
When candidate scanning reaches MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES without finding
a target_visible row and the final batch was full, probe the database for
rows beyond the scan position so an exhausted candidate stream is not
erroneously marked incomplete.
Refs #327
The scan-ceiling branch of collect_visible_tasks settles has_more with an
un-gated LIMIT 1 probe, so a caller can learn whether any row - readable
or not - trails the position the scan stopped at. Withholding the probe
does not remove that bit: enumeration past a denied window longer than
one scan budget requires handing back a continuation, and following that
continuation returns the same terminal page one round trip later.
State what the probe discloses (one bit, only at server-chosen positions
a full scan budget apart, reachable only through a MAC'd cursor, never a
denied row's id, payload or ucan_token) and pin it end to end. Also
correct the comment above the branch, which claimed has_more never comes
from an un-gated probe while the code below it did exactly that.
Refs #327
Optional IS NULL predicates kept the planner from using a created_at/id order, so every list_tasks_keyset batch could sort a growing match set before LIMIT. Dedicated per-domain SQL plus v28 indexes make the candidate ceiling a database bound.
Refs #327
…sted limit.
fetch_tasks asked for the remaining total, then appended every row on a valid-shaped page. A remote that sent more tasks than want could make gl and MCP expose more than --limit. Treat that page as protocol-invalid before any extra row is kept.
Refs #327
The assignee-only plan binds did:key:zAssigneeA unchanged, but the SQL compares it with normalized values. It therefore tests a predicate that matches no seeded rows. The plan can differ for a populated stream, so this test can miss a plan regression.
Proposed fix
if let Some(assignee) = assignee {
- q = q.bind(assignee);+ q = q.bind(super::normalize_owner_key(assignee));

Merge readiness
Required checks still running or pending at review time: test (stable), test (beta), Analyze (rust) (CodeQL), Docker build smoke test, and CodeRabbit. Treat green partial CI as incomplete until those finish.
Branch policy: GitHub reports mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED (approvals/reviews), not a merge conflict. Branch is up to date with live main (HEAD merge-base equals origin/main at a4026e84).
Migration version reservation (#384): db/mod.rs documents that migrations v27–v35 may be claimed by parallel work and that a second merge can silently skip a version integer. Confirm merge ordering with #384 before release so keyset indexes in v27–v28 are not dropped on deploy.
Supersedes: Fork PR #464 (closed); this PR is the upstream re-home. No duplicate open PR for the same gate at 553.
🟡 P2 — Apply trim_assignee_did on every in-diff assignee gate to match Db and REST finish
💥 What fails: Rows that store a non-blankassignee_did with ASCII padding (legacy SQL imports or direct DB seeds) hit one contract on the DB/REST write path and another on the in-diff read/GraphQL finish paths:
Db::claim_task and Db::finish_task compare via trim_assignee_did then did_matches.
REST complete_task / fail_task still trim before the assignee check.
task_visible / task_claimable compare the caller to the raw stored assignee (no trim on the assignee party arms).
Typical assignee path: the designated assignee presents a normalized DID; task_visible’s assignee did_matches fails against "\t{did}\n" in the row, so get_visible_task returns the same opaque 404 as a missing task on both REST and GraphQL list/get. A pre-assigned padded reservation is also unclaimable via get_claimable_task for the same reason, while Db::claim_task would accept the claim after the gate if it were reached.
After visibility uses trim: handlers that already pass get_visible_task can return a row to the legitimate assignee. GraphQL completeTask / failTask then compare the caller to the raw stored assignee, while REST still trims before did_matches — so finish can succeed on REST and fail on GraphQL for the same task. The in-PR test graphql_finish_accepts_padded_stored_assignee is written to catch that GraphQL gap.
// api/tasks.rs (head) — REST finish still correctif !crate::api::did_matches(&auth.0,crate::db::trim_assignee_did(existing.assignee_did.as_deref().unwrap_or_default()),){
🔎 Root cause: This PR centralizes visibility and claim/finish guards but does not carry the existing assignee whitespace normalization rule through every new gate on the read and GraphQL finish paths.
📜 Stated contract:
Test graphql_finish_accepts_padded_stored_assignee: "REST and Db::finish_task trim the stored value before comparing, and the GraphQL gate must do the same."
🏷️ Attribution: PR-worsened. Merge-base GraphQL complete_task trimmed the stored assignee; this head removes that trim while adding get_visible_task. task_visible / task_claimable assignee arms are in-diff without trim.
📌 In this PR:
task_visible — assignee party check (did_matches on raw stored string)
task_claimable — pre-assigned branch (did_matches on raw stored string)
GraphQL complete_task / fail_task — assignee authorization after get_visible_task
Regression: extend graphql_finish_accepts_padded_stored_assignee (already covers GraphQL finish) and add REST/GraphQL list+claim coverage for padded assignee if missing
🔒 Unchanged on main:Db::claim_task / finish_task trim semantics; REST complete/fail trim.
🔧 Required correction: Before assignee did_matches on each row above, pass the stored value through crate::db::trim_assignee_did (same pattern as REST complete_task). Do not change did:key bare/full normalization in did_matches itself.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the rule on every In this PR row in one pass. Do not patch only GraphQL or only task_visible. Do not rewrite the DB layer or REST handlers that already trim.
🚫 Out of scope: Redesigning assignee storage to always normalize on insert (except where this PR already normalizes blank-only slots).
🔵 P3 — Align SECURITY.md with README/.env on shared task-read brake (including WebSocket queries)
📍 Where:SECURITY.md (Private repository reads bullet), versus README.md and .env.example (GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT).
💥 What fails: Security readers following SECURITY.md see task list/get gating for REST and GraphQL tasks / task, but not that the same per-IP budget applies to GraphQL WebSocket task queries via TaskReadBrake (server.rsgraphql_ws_handler, GraphQL extension).
🔎 Root cause: Operator-facing surfaces in this PR disagree on which transports share GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT.
📜 Stated contract:
README.md: GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT — "sharing the budget with the GraphQL/WS task-read brake."
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced doc drift (SECURITY.md is in the diff; WS brake wiring is new).
📌 In this PR:
SECURITY.md private-read bullet
Cross-check against README.md and .env.example task-read sections (already correct)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Rate limiter implementation and defaults.
🔧 Required correction: Update the SECURITY.md bullet to state that REST task reads, GraphQL tasks/task (HTTP and WS), share GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT, matching README/.env.example.
🛠️ Author fix: Rewrite every listed operator surface together in one commit.
🚫 Out of scope: Changing throttle defaults or adding new env vars.
Both findings addressed in 29b51d7. P2: trim_assignee_did now runs before did_matches on every in-diff assignee gate: task_visible, task_claimable, and the GraphQL completeTask/failTask authorization check all compare against the trimmed stored form, matching Db::claim_task/finish_task and the REST handlers. A new gate-level test (padded_stored_assignee_matches_trimmed_caller_on_read_and_claim) covers get_visible_task, get_claimable_task, and the REST GET for a whitespace-padded stored assignee, including the stranger-denial case; graphql_finish_accepts_padded_stored_assignee passes on this head. P3: SECURITY.md now states REST task reads and GraphQL task/taskById over HTTP and WebSocket all share the GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT budget, matching README and .env.example.

Follow-up on jatmn's review at 5a6d2f4: trim_assignee_did on every in-diff assignee gate and SECURITY.md task-read brake wording look addressed on head 29b51d72 (code + padded_stored_assignee_matches_trimmed_caller_on_read_and_claim, graphql_finish_accepts_padded_stored_assignee). Drift re-check on 29b51d72 withdrew the mirror list/get item from Findings (ambiguous product contract, not a verified bug). Below is what still blocks or clarifies merge.
Merge readiness
Merge conflict with live main: GitHub reports mergeable: CONFLICTING / mergeStateStatus: DIRTY. origin/main is at a2262d92 (#551 reconciliation sweep, #552 GraphQL cost); merge-tree shows conflicts at least in .cargo/audit.toml and .env.example. Rebase onto current main and resolve before merge.
Migration v27/v28 vs #384: In-diff reservation in db/mod.rs still applies — duplicate schema_migrations.version integers can be silently skipped on the branch that merges second. Coordinate numbering with #384 before release.
CI on latest head: Checks on 29b51d72 are mostly CodeQL/CodeRabbit; aggregate CodeQL still fails on the PR. Earlier PR Checks run failed on 5a6d2f4 — confirm test (stable), clippy, and Docker smoke on the rebased head.
Breaking protocol: Title fix(node)! and GraphQL tasks pagination shape are intentional; consumers must migrate to TaskPageType / cursor fields.
Findings
🔵 P3 — Normalize assignee bind in keyset EXPLAIN plan test
💥 What fails: The assignee-only plan domain binds the raw string did:key:zAssigneeA, while production list_tasks_keyset binds normalize_owner_key(assignee) (L4277–4284) against the same ASSIGNEE_DID_CASE_SQL predicate. EXPLAIN may run on an empty or unrepresentative assignee stream, so a plan regression on the populated filter path could pass this test.
🔎 Root cause: The plan helper’s bind path omits the normalization the production query uses.
📜 Stated contract:
In-diff list_tasks_keyset documents and implements assignee filter normalization via normalize_owner_key; the paired plan test should exercise that predicate shape.
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced test code in this diff.
📌 In this PR:
EXPLAIN plan test assignee bind block (~L7683–7685)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Runtime list SQL (already normalizes on this branch).
🔧 Required correction: Bind normalize_owner_key(assignee) in explain_domain when assignee is Some, matching list_tasks_keyset.
🛠️ Author fix: One-line test fix in the same commit as any plan-test touch; no production SQL change.
🚫 Out of scope: Broader migration/plan-test refactors.
Needs maintainer decision
Slash-form mirror repo_id: list vs get for delegator/assignee
On head 29b51d72, behavior differs but intent is not fully specified in a single operator contract:
Surface
Behavior for task with slash-form repo_id
List (task_visible)
Delegator (and trimmed assignee) can pass before the slash fail-closed branch (~L200–210 vs L217–218).
Get (get_visible_task)
Returns opaque not-found for all callers when repo_id.contains('/') (~L447–448), beforetask_visible.
Pinned today:mirror_only_repo_task_is_hidden_from_anonymous_reads — anonymous only. Not pinned: delegator list vs get.
The PR description says mirror rows “fail closed on every gate,” but the in-diff list path intentionally honors party read first. get_visible_task’s slash shortcut may be deliberate (“no repo-backed read,” aligned with comments near claim fail-closed), which would imply list-for-party / get-denied rather than a clear defect.
Decision needed (pick one, then encode + test on this PR if it blocks merge):
Party-consistent reads — get_visible_task runs the same party checks as task_visible before any slash deny (delegator can get-by-id what they see on a list page).
Strict mirror deny everywhere — slash fail-closed before party in task_visible so list matches get and matches a literal reading of the PR note (delegator does not list mirror-hosted tasks).
Accept asymmetric UX — document list vs get for mirror rows in README/SECURITY and add an explicit regression test; no code change if that is product intent.
Attribution: PR-introduced gate split on this branch only; not a pre-existing main bug.
…553)
- EXPLAIN helper binds normalize_owner_key(assignee) to match the
production list_tasks_keyset bind.
- Pin the deliberate asymmetry jatmn asked about: a delegator sees a
slash-form (mirror-hosted) task in a list, while get fails closed for
every caller because the row has no local repo backing. Notes in
get_visible_task and a regression test keep it from drifting.
- Repair test-mod drift from the main merge: build_schema gains its
TaskCursorKey arg at three sites and list_tasks calls move to
list_tasks_keyset.
Merge state: re-merged onto current main a2262d9 (51x/552 landed after the first merge). Conflicts unioned across db/mod.rs, graphql/mutation.rs, graphql/query.rs; the cursor-paginated tasks resolver, delegator-scoped clamp test, and your new repo-page helpers all survive. AUTHOR-IDENTICAL holds: 52 contributor commits plus the two maintainer merges.
P3: the EXPLAIN helper now binds normalize_owner_key(assignee), matching the production list_tasks_keyset bind.
Migration numbering is clean on this head: the branch's claims are v27/v28, free on main and disjoint from #558's v38-v43 series.
Mirror repo_id list-vs-get: keeping the asymmetry as deliberate semantics (option 3). A slash-form row is a mirror-admitted task with no local repo backing, so get fails closed for every caller while the list honors party-read on the row itself. Pinned now: a doc note at the get-side deny plus mirror_repo_task_lists_for_delegator_but_get_denies_all, which asserts the delegator sees the row on list and gets a not-found on get.

Merge readiness
Required checks failing on head 6c0926de:test (stable) and test (beta) (run 42654949475) — four GraphQL task/brake tests (see finding). Same four failures were already present on 5a6d2f4 (42534481428); live target a2262d92 has green test (stable). Do not merge until green.
cargo audit: fails on head 6c0926de (libsqlite3-sys 0.30.1 / RUSTSEC-2026-0459 in run 42654949475). Also fails on live target a2262d92; not attributable to the 23-file task-read diff. Passed on this branch at 5a6d2f4 under an older advisory DB — target-branch / advisory drift, not a #553 author action item. Resolve on main or a separate dependency PR if merge is blocked.
Branch:MERGEABLE with live main merge-base a2262d92 (re-merge at 6c0926de landed).
Approvals:mergeStateStatus still BLOCKED until review re-approved after head fix.
Supersedes:#464 (closed). Migration v27/v28 on this branch remains disjoint from main tail / #558 series per author note — keep merge-order awareness at release.
🟡 P2 — Reconcile GraphQL tasks complexity budget with TaskReadBrake and TaskPageType
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mod.rs (ref_updates_and_tasks_single_alias_max_limit_complexity_contract, production_list_cost_scales_with_the_same_alias_count), crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs (graphql_aliased_task_queries_are_capped_per_request), crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs (graphql_ws_task_query_enforces_per_request_field_limit), and the in-diff tasks resolver complexity in crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs.
💥 What fails: CI fails all four pins on this branch (e.g. 6c0926de, and already on 5a6d2f4):
Complexity contract tests still query the pre-pagination shape tasks(limit: MAX) { id }, but tasks now returns TaskPageType (items, hasMore, nextCursor). On merge-base a2262d92, that selection is valid; on this head it does not match the schema. Assertions expecting GRAPHQL_DB_ERROR_MESSAGE never reach the resolver.
Alias-cap tests submit six tasks { items { id } } aliases expecting the sixth field to fail with rate_limit::RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE. The document is rejected first with Query is too complex. (WS test shows this verbatim). With additive pricing 50 + limit.clamp(…) + child, six default-sized task list aliases exceed GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY = 400 before TaskReadBrake increments to the sixth field.
// server.rs WS test — expected rate-limit text, observed complexity rejection
6th task field over WS must be braked: {"errors":[{"message":"Query is too complex."}]}
In production, overload is still blocked (complexity rejection, not an open read path); the defect here is broken CI and stale test contracts, not a missing visibility gate.
🔎 Root cause: This PR introduced paginated TaskPageType, TaskReadBrake, and alias/regression tests but left main-carried GraphQL complexity tests on the flat tasks { id } shape and a dual-gate story that assumes the sixth alias reaches the rate-limit path. #552’s additive complexity on merged main is a constraint the tests must honor, not something to revert.
📜 Stated contract:
Tests graphql_aliased_task_queries_are_capped_per_request and graphql_ws_task_query_enforces_per_request_field_limit require RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE when aliased tasks fields exceed MAX_GRAPHQL_TASK_READS_PER_REQUEST.
Tests ref_updates_and_tasks_single_alias_max_limit_complexity_contract and production_list_cost_scales_with_the_same_alias_count require max-size tasks list queries to pass complexity validation and reach resolvers under GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY = 400.
🏷️ Attribution:PR-introduced — merge-base a2262d92 uses flat tasks → Vec and green test (stable); this branch has had red test (stable) / test (beta) since at least 5a6d2f4, before the second main re-merge.
graphql/query.rs — tasks complexity formula and TaskPageType return shape
api/tasks.rs — HTTP GraphQL alias brake regression
server.rs — WS alias brake regression
rate_limit.rs — MAX_GRAPHQL_TASK_READS_PER_REQUEST / RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE (oracle text tests assert)
🔒 Unchanged on main: Global GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY = 400 policy from #552 (do not revert wholesale).
🔧 Required correction: In one pass: (1) update every in-diff GraphQL test query to the TaskPageType shape (items { … }) and refresh documented cost arithmetic; (2) choose a coherent dual-gate story — e.g. adjust tasks field complexity so five aliased list fields fit under 400 while six fail, and ensure the sixth failure mode matches the pinned message (RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE) where the test requires it, or rewrite the tests to assert complexity rejection when that is the intended primary gate and add a separate minimal query that still proves TaskReadBrake debits without being preempted by complexity; (3) re-run cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node on CI matrix.
🛠️ Author fix: Close both stated contracts on every In this PR row together. Do not patch only WS or only graphql/mod.rs. Do not drop TaskReadBrake or weaken #552’s global budget without replacing the lost regression evidence.
🚫 Out of scope: Redesigning TaskPageType pagination, changing default GITLAWB_TASK_READ_RATE_LIMIT, fixing #563 WebSocket mutation auth, or resolving cargo audit / libsqlite3-sys on this PR.
The four GraphQL task/brake tests failed on this branch: contract tests
still queried the flat tasks { id } shape that TaskPageType replaced, and
the alias-brake tests ran default-size lists whose six aliases exceed
GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY before the brake can debit.
- Contract tests now select through items { ... } with refreshed cost
arithmetic.
- Brake tests use tasks(limit: 1), keeping six aliases under the budget
so the 6th field reaches TaskReadBrake and fails RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE.
Complexity stays the outer gate (#552); the brake stays the per-request
field-count gate.
P2 addressed at d8ddbc8. The four failing tests were stale against two contracts at once, so both got reconciled in one pass:
Contract tests (ref_updates_and_tasks_single_alias_max_limit_complexity_contract, production_list_cost_scales_with_the_same_alias_count): tasks selections now go through items { ... } on TaskPageType, with the child-complexity arithmetic updated to match (items { id } costs 2, items { id status } costs 3).
Brake tests (graphql_aliased_task_queries_are_capped_per_request, graphql_ws_task_query_enforces_per_request_field_limit): the six aliases now use tasks(limit: 1). At the default page size each alias prices ~102 and the document fails complexity validation before the brake can debit, which is why the 6th field never saw RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGE. With limit: 1 all six aliases fit under GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY, so the 6th reaches TaskReadBrake and fails with the pinned message. The dual-gate story is now coherent: complexity bounds document cost (#552, untouched), the brake bounds task-read field count per request.
cargo check --tests and fmt clean locally; the four tests themselves are sqlx/live-server, so the CI matrix is the proof. Also noting your audit call-out is handled separately at #564 (RUSTSEC-2026-0459 waiver, unlinked bundled sqlite).

trim_assignee_did, SECURITY.md task-read wording, EXPLAIN assignee bind, and the four named GraphQL complexity/brake tests look addressed on this head. Author comments on CodeQL (task_cursor.rs test literals and SIV IV derivation), migration v27–v28 disjoint from main/#558, and GraphQL WS mutations (#563) match current evidence.
Merge readiness

CodeQL reports open alerts on changed files; author’s inline rebuttals on the task_cursor.rshard-coded IV and cleartext logging findings describe test-oracle literals and MAC-derived SIV bytes, not production secrets. Treat as merge-policy / FP triage, not a code fix for this PR, unless GitHub still blocks merge on the alert record.
Branch: MERGEABLE with live main merge-base a2262d92.
Migrations: v27–v28 reservation vs parallel work (#384) remains a release-order coordination item (author: disjoint from #558 v38–v43).
📍 Where:README.md (task read bullet ~L73), SECURITY.md (task read bullet ~L76); behavior in api/tasks.rs (task_visible vs get_visible_task slash fail-closed).
💥 What fails: Operators reading README/SECURITY see task list/get gated in uniform terms. For slash-form mirror repo_id rows, the delegator can see the task on list but receives opaque 404 on get-by-id (and GraphQL task). Regression test mirror_repo_task_lists_for_delegator_but_get_denies_all pins this; operator docs do not mention it.
🔎 Root cause: Maintainer option 3 (accept asymmetry and document it) was chosen at 6c0926de; the test landed, operator copy did not.
📜 Stated contract:
Prior review Needs maintainer decision option 3: “Accept asymmetric UX — document list vs get for mirror rows in README/SECURITY and add an explicit regression test.” Author comment on 6c0926de confirms option 3.
🔧 Required correction: In one commit, add the same short note to both bullets: slash-form mirror repo_id tasks may appear on list for delegator/assignee but GET /api/v1/tasks/{id} / GraphQL task fail closed because there is no local repo backing to serve.
🛠️ Author fix: Rewrite both operator bullets together; do not change list/get gate code.
🚫 Out of scope: Reopening list/get symmetry (options 1–2); unrelated doc churn.
Option 3 for slash-form mirror repo_id rows was pinned in code and test at
6c0926d; this adds the operator-facing half jatmn asked for. README and
SECURITY task-read bullets now state that mirror rows list for party readers
while get-by-id and GraphQL task fail closed for all callers.
P3 addressed at 9a6496c: the README and SECURITY task-read bullets now state the mirror asymmetry explicitly (slash-form repo_id rows list for the delegator or trimmed assignee, while get-by-id and GraphQL task fail closed for every caller for lack of local repo backing). The pin test landed last round; this is the doc half.
On test (stable): the failure is reconciliation::tests::sweep_restores_tigris_cache_miss_and_skips_missing, a deadline-bounded pass in #551's sweep code, scanned=0 under runner load, not this diff's surface. Main's own PR Checks are red on the same class (#562), so it is a main-side item, not a #553 blocker beyond needing a green re-run.

Summary
Re-homes #464 (
fix(node)!: gate agent-task reads behind visibility rules) onto an upstream branch so the upstream-only Code Quality check can run. Task reads now return null/404 for callers who cannot see the backing repo or task, closing an existence-and-content leak across REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket task surfaces.Motivation & context
Before this, any caller could enumerate and read every agent task on a node regardless of repo visibility: private and quarantined repos' tasks, their assignees, payloads, and UCAN tokens were readable by anyone, and a failed claim revealed that a task existed and was reserved. Contributor PR #464 was approved at an earlier head; this branch carries the same commits on current
mainso the required check can run.Kind of change
What changed
gitlawb-node: every task read surface (REST list/get, GraphQL task/tasks/taskById, WS task query) gates throughget_visible_task; claim/complete/fail gate throughget_claimable_task. Ineligible callers get the same 404/not-found as a missing task, so denials never leak existence or reservations.gitlawb-node: sealed opaque task cursors for keyset pagination, bound to position, filter, and caller; anonymous cursors cannot resume an authenticated scan.gitlawb-node: per-request task scan budget and an IP rate limiter on task read routes, shared by REST and GraphQL.gitlawb-node: UCAN tokens never appear in read responses or GraphQL errors.gl: task client and MCP surface updates matching the gated contract.Merge detail: 52 contributor commits preserved author-identical from
1514f3d8; one maintainer merge commit bringsmainata4026e84. Conflicts resolved by union: both error helpers kept inapi/tasks.rs, the PR's GraphQLcomplete_task/fail_taskmutations (which ort had dropped) restored againstfinish_task's newactor_didsignature, stored-assigneeby_did(#550 contract) on all task event broadcasts, and two stale test oracles updated for the merged contract (ineligible claim is 404,list_tasks_keysetnormalizes the assignee filter).How a reviewer can verify
On main, a permissionless caller gets task rows back:
On this branch the same call returns
count: 0and a per-id GET returns 404. Locally:cargo test -p gitlawb-node --bin gitlawb-node taskexercises the gate on list, get, claim, complete, fail, GraphQL, WS, cursors, deny windows, and the mirror-row case.Before you request review
