Remediate the HIGH and security-relevant findings from the 2026-07-11 audit.
H1 — the per-env approval gate is now server-authoritative. The governing
project is resolved from the target node's nearest-claimed ancestor
(`governing_env_policy`/`_tree` + `governing_project_id` +
`ProjectRepository::get_environments_by_id`), independent of the client-supplied
`[project]`. Omitting or spoofing the project block can no longer skip a gate the
owning project established; a to-create group resolves its declared parent's
chain so a fresh subtree node inherits the gate. Fails closed on any read error.
H2 — the API-key prefix slice (`&rest[..8]`) is now the boundary-safe
`rest.get(..8)`, so an attacker-supplied multibyte bearer can't panic the request
task (unauthenticated per-request DoS). Regression test added.
C1 — admin sessions gain an absolute lifetime cap (migration 0070,
`PICLOUD_SESSION_ABSOLUTE_TTL_HOURS`, default 30d): `lookup` filters it, `touch`
clamps the sliding bump to it, so a continuously-used or stolen-but-warm token
self-expires. Mirrors the data-plane app-user cap.
C2 — `Cache-Control: no-store` on the login and API-key-mint responses (the two
that return a raw credential), so a proxy/CDN/browser cache can't retain it.
B8 — file downloads are header-safe: `sanitize_stored_filename` guarantees a
valid `HeaderValue` (no panic on a control-char name) and BOTH the per-app and
group download paths now set attachment + `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` +
a restrictive CSP, closing a group-path stored-XSS gap.
Also folds in the server-side plan-warning plumbing (`plan_warnings`,
`PlanResult::warnings`) and the `app_only_reject` message helper that the CLI
plan-preview change builds on, plus operator security notes (reads-open shared-
topic SSE; the `--env` label is advisory, not a boundary).

extract_remote_ip took the FIRST X-Forwarded-For entry, but Caddy (the
single trusted proxy) appends the real peer as the LAST hop — earlier
entries are client-supplied. An attacker could prepend a rotating
X-Forwarded-For value to get a fresh per-IP bucket every request and
evade the per-IP login limiter (the per-username bucket + global Argon2
semaphore still bounded it, but the per-IP layer was defeated). Take the
last hop so the key reflects the real client. Added unit tests covering
the spoof, the single-hop case, and the missing-header fallback.

The PrincipalCache (token-hash -> resolved Principal, 60s TTL) had no
eviction hook, so deactivation / password change / API-key revocation
flipped the DB rows but the cache kept serving the stale principal for
up to the TTL window. Closes the audit's PrincipalCache revocation-lag
Medium and greens authz::deactivating_user_revokes_their_api_keys.
- PrincipalCache::evict_user(user_id) + evict_token(hash).
- One shared cache Arc threaded into AuthState / AdminsState /
ApiKeysState (a per-state cache would let the middleware's own copy
keep authenticating a revoked principal).
- Evict on: deactivation, password change (both evict_user), logout
(evict_token, precise), single API-key delete (evict_user).
- H-E1 note: DB-write invalidation stays best-effort by design (a blip
must not undo the rotation); the cache evict is what makes it take
effect on the next request.
- Renamed bearer_and_cookie_produce_same_principal ->
session_token_and_api_key_produce_same_principal (cookie auth was
removed in C-1; the test never tested cookies).

At-rest secrets were AES-256-GCM sealed with no Associated
Authentication Data, so anyone with Postgres write access could
ciphertext-swap rows across apps (or rename via row edit) and the
decrypt would silently succeed under the wrong identity, returning
attacker-chosen plaintext. This breaks the cross-app isolation boundary
the moment DB write access is achieved.
Adds an AAD-bound envelope (v1) alongside the legacy no-AAD layout (v0),
discriminated by a per-row `version` column:
* shared::crypto — new encrypt_with_aad / decrypt_with_aad using
aes_gcm::aead::Payload { msg, aad }. Originals retained for v0 reads.
Tests: AAD round-trip, AAD-mismatch fails, empty-AAD round-trip.
* migration 0042 — adds `secrets.version SMALLINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0`
and `app_secrets.realtime_signing_key_version SMALLINT NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0`. Existing rows stay v0; new writes are v1.
* secrets (SDK + admin API) — seal() now binds AAD =
"secret:{app_id}:{name}" and emits v1; open() dispatches on version.
StoredSecret gains a `version` field; SecretsRepo::set takes it.
Both secrets_service::set and secrets_api::set_secret go through the
v1 path. Tests prove a cross-app swap and a cross-name swap both
surface Corrupted, and that a hand-built v0 row still decrypts.
* app_secrets (realtime signing key) — get_or_create_signing_key writes
v1 with AAD = "app_secret:{app_id}:realtime_signing_key"; decode
dispatches on version. Tests cover v0 decode, v1 round-trip, and v1
decode-under-wrong-app failing.
* email-trigger inbound secret — kept on v0 (seal_legacy/open_legacy)
and explicitly deferred: email_trigger_details has no version column
and the trigger_id isn't known at seal time. The audit classes the
email-trigger AAD gap as Medium; folded into v1.2's key-versioning
pass per SECURITY_AUDIT.md.
* expected_schema.txt re-blessed by hand (no local Postgres) for the two
new columns + migration 0042.
Also folds in a let-else clippy fix in auth_api.rs (login Argon2
semaphore acquire, from the H-B1 commit) and two cargo-fmt reflows.
No re-encryption sweep — v0 rows decrypt as-is; the sweep is deferred to
v1.2's key-versioning pass (audit "Notes on remediation methodology").

The login handler had no admission control before
`spawn_blocking(verify_password)`. On Pi-class hardware Argon2id is ~50-
100 ms per attempt, so a few dozen concurrent anonymous POSTs to
/auth/login park every blocking worker, wedging the entire admin API
and any other path that uses `spawn_blocking`.
Adds two cheap, in-process guards modeled on EmailRateLimiter:
* `LoginRateLimiter` — two sliding-window token buckets, one per
`(remote_ip, username)` (burst 5/60s) and one per `username`
(burst 10/15min). Per-(ip, user) defeats a single attacker pounding
one account; per-user defeats credential-stuffing distributed across
many IPs. Username is case-folded so case variants share a bucket.
Maps GC lazily when they cross a soft size cap.
* Per-process `tokio::sync::Semaphore` — caps concurrent Argon2 verifies
during login. Default 2 permits (Pi-class), overridable via
`PICLOUD_LOGIN_ARGON2_PARALLELISM`. Acquired AFTER the bucket check so
attackers can't queue.
Limit check fires before the DB credentials lookup, so even an unknown
username doesn't cost a query. Denied attempts return 429 + Retry-After.
Real client IP comes from the first X-Forwarded-For entry (Caddy is the
trusted single hop); falls back to "unknown" so the per-user bucket
still gates.
4 unit tests cover bucket burst exhaustion, per-user crossing IPs, case
folding, and per-user independence.

Same-origin CSRF: the platform co-hosts user-route HTML on the same
origin as /api/v1/admin/*; SameSite=Lax did not block a same-origin POST
from a malicious script at /<route>, riding the admin's picloud_session
cookie. The dashboard already uses Bearer (dashboard/src/lib/auth.ts +
api.ts:495), so cookie auth was dead weight on the admin side and
exploitable.
Cuts the cookie path entirely:
- auth_middleware::extract_token is Bearer-only; cookie branch removed.
- auth_api::login no longer sets Set-Cookie.
- auth_api::logout no longer clears the cookie (the bearer token is
still revoked by deleting the session row).
- extract_token_for_logout matches.
- SESSION_COOKIE const + PICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE env var deleted.

cargo fmt regroups, plus three Phase-B clippy fixes:
- F-P-004: #[allow(clippy::type_complexity)] on the invoke_ast_cache Mutex.
- F-P-008: hoist `futures::stream::{self, TryStreamExt}` to the top-of-
file imports to satisfy clippy::items_after_statements.
- F-P-005: rename `_legacy_offset` to `legacy_offset` + #[allow(dead_code)]
to satisfy clippy's "field is pub but `_`-prefixed" check.
No behavior change.

verify_password (Argon2id, OWASP defaults m=19456 KiB, t=2) is CPU-bound
at tens-to-hundreds of ms and was invoked synchronously on the Tokio
worker. Worse, verify_api_key Argon2-verifies every candidate sharing
the 8-char prefix — a hot user with N keys serialized every admin
request behind N×Argon2.
Wrap each call site in tokio::task::spawn_blocking:
- auth_middleware::verify_api_key (per request carrying a Bearer key)
- auth_api::login (admin login)
- users_service::login (data-plane app-user login, both real-hash and
TIMING_FLAT_DUMMY_HASH branches)
Cold-cache login is now ~2× current latency due to one spawn_blocking
hop, but the worker no longer parks on Argon2 so steady-state under
load is dramatically better. The LRU cache for the hot-path (token →
principal) is finding F-P-009 — separate commit.
AUDIT.md anchor: F-P-002.

Replace the inline copy of the Argon2id PHC dummy hash in
crates/manager-core/src/auth_api.rs::login with a reference to the
shared TIMING_FLAT_DUMMY_HASH constant in
crates/manager-core/src/auth.rs (added in v1.1.8 but not yet adopted
by the login path).
Verification: `grep -rn 'argon2id\$v=19\$m=19456,t=2,p=1\$dGltaW5n' crates/`
returns exactly one hit — the const declaration in auth.rs.

Login and /auth/me now return the same shape — id, username,
instance_role, email — so the dashboard can gate UI on role from
either the login response or the layout's me() refetch without an
extra round-trip.

Pure formatting pass — no behavior changes. Catches the line-wrapping
drift across the new authz / api_keys / middleware / handler edits
that piled up during the implementation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* auth_middleware: split into resolve_principal → verify_session OR
verify_api_key (selected by the pic_ prefix). Both paths converge on
Principal as the request extension; require_admin keeps working as
a #[deprecated] alias for require_authenticated. AuthState gains an
api_keys repo; the cookie path is unchanged.
* api-key path takes the first 8 chars after pic_ as the indexed
lookup key, Argon2-verifies each candidate, soft-rejects deactivated
users, and updates last_used_at inline.
* auth_api: /auth/me now consumes Extension<Principal> and re-fetches
the user row so username updates surface immediately.
* picloud: AuthDeps + AuthState wired with PostgresApiKeyRepository;
the layer call switches to require_authenticated.

Closes the regression risk of the admin API and dashboard being open
to anyone reaching the bound port. Required foundation before v1.1
data-plane services land.
Per-user accounts (admin_users), Argon2id passwords, env-var bootstrap
of the first admin that becomes inert once any admin exists, opaque
32-byte session token doubling as bearer credential, 24h sliding TTL
configurable via PICLOUD_SESSION_TTL_HOURS. is_active column lets
admins be deactivated without losing audit history; last-active-admin
guard on DELETE and on PATCH that flips is_active to false (sessions
also wiped on deactivation).
require_admin middleware fronts every /api/v1/admin/* route. The data
plane (/api/v1/execute/{id}), /healthz, /version, and user routes
stay open. picloud admin reset-password <username> subcommand handles
recovery without going through HTTP.
Dashboard gains /admin/login and /admin/admins surfaces, a top-bar
user menu, and a token store with a localStorage echo so refreshes
don't sign you out. Cookie-based auth works in parallel for non-SPA
clients.
Forward compatibility: future RBAC tables (admin_roles,
admin_user_roles) join on admin_users.id; the auth middleware is the
seam where role checks slot in. Email, 2FA, passkeys, and personal
API tokens are all additive without touching admin_users.
Blueprint §11.4 updated to reflect what actually shipped.
