security(decisions): server-stamped provenance for gate decisions (tsk-mul5pa) - #2748
security(decisions): server-stamped provenance for gate decisions (tsk-mul5pa)#2748hognek wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…k-mul5pa)
An agent holding decisions_write could POST a card whose question read as
harmless while metadata.kind was a privileged gate; a human approving it
minted a grant off caller-supplied metadata. Add SERVER_RAISED_KEY
('_server_raised'): the public create path strips it, every _apply_*_grant
refuses when absent, and the four internal raisers (execution-gate,
delegation-gate, device-pairing, app-grant) stamp it.
Red-first: tests/test_decision_gate_provenance.py drives the real callers
(agent POST + owner answer) and asserts no grant on the API-created path,
with a legitimate-path control for execution_gate and app_grant. Existing
route-driven gate tests now create through the internal store path.

Migrate or invalidate legacy pending gate decisions.
DecisionStore._post_init preserves pending rows. DecisionStore.answer accepts any pending row. The human answer path then runs the grant handlers, which return when _server_raised is absent. A pre-marker gate decision can therefore be marked answered without its privileged side effect. Add migration or invalidation before deployment.

WARNING: Red-first proven pairs only cover execution_gate and app_grant, but the same guard logic now also gates device_pairing and delegation_gate in _apply_device_pairing_grant and _apply_delegation_grant. The PR description explicitly says the red-first proof is for the two cheap handlers — but the other two guards have no regression coverage of the same shape. A future refactor that drops the guard on either will not be caught here. Add the symmetric red + control pair for device_pairing (via POST /api/devices/pair-requests is unauthenticated, so a decision_store.create with a caller-style metadata and a fabricated pair_request_id is the cleanest mirror) and for delegation_gate (via the public path, mirroring test_api_created_execution_gate_metadata_mints_nothing). The four guards are siblings and deserve sibling tests.

WARNING: Silent refusal on missing _server_raised is indistinguishable, observably, from a successful caller-supplied attack. A legitimate raiser that forgets to stamp the marker (regression, refactor, missed call site) will look exactly like the threat model this PR closes — the human sees "approved", no grant is minted, no error surfaces. Add logger.warning("applying gate decision refused: missing %s (kind=%s, id=%s)", SERVER_RAISED_KEY, meta.get("kind"), decision.get("id")) (or equivalent) so a misconfigured internal raiser is diagnosable from the log stream rather than only from a confused operator. Apply the same to the three sibling guards at lines 671, 732, and 929.

SUGGESTION: dict(body.metadata or {}) will raise TypeError if a caller supplies metadata as a non-mapping (string, list, int) — Pydantic currently constrains the schema, but if the model is ever relaxed the request 500s instead of returning a clean 400. Cheap defense: wrap in try/except TypeError → JSONResponse 400, or isinstance(body.metadata, dict) check before the copy.

Guard reads right: strip on create, refuse in every _apply_*_grant when the marker is absent, /answer/agent mints nothing. The red-first pair drives the real callers and asserts on the grant store — good.
One change before merge, and it is CodeRabbit's Major (decisions.py:619), which is real: every gate decision already pending on a host at deploy time has no _server_raised, so a human approving it after upgrade gets 200, the card goes answered, the agent receives the generic reply, and the grant silently never mints. Silent no-op on a legitimate approval is the worst of the three outcomes.
Fold: a one-time backfill in DecisionStore._post_init — rows where status='pending', metadata.kind is one of execution_gate|delegation_gate|device_pairing|app_grant, and the marker is absent get _server_raised: true. Rationale: before this PR every gate kind was trusted unconditionally, so pre-marker pending rows are exactly as trusted as they were yesterday; the window closes at the moment of upgrade and nothing created through the public route after it can ever be stamped. Bound it to the pending set only (answered/superseded rows are inert).
Test it the way the existing-DB rule wants: seed a pre-marker pending execution_gate row directly into the table, construct the store over that file, approve through the real POST /api/decisions/{id}/answer, assert the grant IS minted; control: a pending row with a non-gate kind stays unstamped.
Ruling on the two notes:
- "render the grant" stays deferred — not this card.
collab_delegation_gate: fold the stamp + guard into #2048 itself when you rebase it (it is your PR, no separate card).
