docs(saas-api): specify cache-key path encoding + path-encoding test vectors (LAB-2879)#6127Bslash6 wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
…vectors (LAB-2879)
spec/saas-api.md documented /v1/cache/{key} and its /ttl and /lock
sub-resources without saying how {key} is placed in the path. That silence
cost three SDK tickets (cachekit-py#279 CWE-22; LAB-2877 ts; LAB-2878 rs).
New normative section "Cache-Key Path Encoding": one percent-encoded segment
with only RFC 3986 unreserved chars raw; the server decodes exactly once and
validates the decoded key (no double-encoding, %2F never a boundary, health/
ttl/lock are route tokens); encoders may differ on the sub-delims !*'() because
interop is defined on the decoded key, and every server-accepted key is
byte-identical on the wire regardless.
All-dot keys are stack-dependent and %2E is NOT a universal fix. RFC 3986
stacks (httpx 0.28.1) leave %2E%2E intact; WHATWG stacks (Node 25 URL/undici
Request, rust-url 2.5.8 parser.rs:1319-1337) collapse %2e / %2e%2e / .%2e /
%2e. in any case. On WHATWG stacks the client MUST reject "." / ".." before
building the URL. Found by execution while writing the section.
test-vectors/path-encoding.json: 12 key/encoded/decoded rows (canonical key,
embedded ../, ?# injection, space, %, both all-dot keys flagged dot_segment,
inert a:.. / ..a, ns:key, encoder-variance row with encoded_alternates).
tools/path-encoding-verify.py (stdlib): pins encoded to the reference encoder,
single-decode round-trip, rejects raw / ? # % and literal dot segments,
cross-checks the WHATWG flag; mutation self-test runs first. Wired into
verify.yml as an additional check.
sdk-feature-matrix.md: Compliance Status row with actual state (py merged
f000ba3, unreleased; rs/ts partial, in progress). README + CHANGELOG updated.

In `@tools/path-encoding-verify.py`:
- Line 33: Make the path validator Ruff-compatible by converting boolean
parameters in the validator functions, including check, to keyword-only
parameters and updating the call at the boolean positional-argument site to use
the corresponding keyword. Refactor the TRY003 violations in check and the
validation error path so custom exception construction does not embed long
inline messages, using an appropriate exception type or dedicated message
handling while preserving existing validation behavior.
- Line 62: Update the alternate-encoding validation around check_segment so it
accepts only the exact quote(key, safe="!*'()") representation, rejecting hybrid
encodings that merely decode to the same key; add a self-test covering the mixed
encoded/unencoded delimiter case.
- Around line 45-48: Update check_segment and its alternate-segment comparison
to decode percent-encoded bytes using strict UTF-8, rejecting invalid sequences
such as %FF instead of replacing them with U+FFFD; only compare successfully
decoded values with key.

…er WHATWG parse collapses %2E (LAB-2879 panel round 1) Expert panel (bug-hunter + security, independently) probed api.cachekit.io: GET /v1/cache/%2E%2E/health returns the /v1/health response and /v1/cache/%2E%2E/ttl routes as /v1/ttl, while /v1/cache/a%3A..%2Fb/ttl reaches cache auth. The saas worker parses with WHATWG new URL(request.url) (index.ts:234), so the stack-dependent MAY-encode-to-%2E rule was false: no wire form of an all-dot key reaches the validator from any client. Reproduced before rewriting. Rule 2 is now uniform: clients MUST reject a key whose encoded form is exactly . .. health ttl lock (the last three are route tokens on the same level, per the security agent). Rule 1 scopes its MUST so the !*'() tolerance of rule 4 is not a contradiction. Rule 3 states the WHATWG parse precedes split and decode, and spells the ns:/nsapi: namespace shape. ns:key row note corrected (server rejects it). Evidence blockquote trimmed (no source line ranges). Vectors: 15 rows — 5 reject rows (encoded/decoded null) replace the dot_segment flag; envelope and row notes trimmed to row-specific facts. Verifier: one regex (alternates only), reserved-segment logic keyed on quote(key, safe=''), 7 mutations each tripping a distinct guard, poison built outside the try. CHANGELOG shortened and corrected (cachekit-py v0.18.0 tagged 2026-09-04, PyPI still 0.17.1). Matrix: Python downgraded to Partial with follow-up LAB-2880; call-site counts dropped.

Spell the ns:/nsapi: namespace grammar (1-64 chars, non-empty rest) as the deployed validator enforces it; say '.'/'..' where 'all-dot' was imprecise ('...' is all-dot yet transmittable); collapse the verifier's unreachable WHATWG %2e set to the five literal reserved segments quote() can actually emit; make each self-test mutation assert the guard it names; CHANGELOG no longer reads as if cachekit-py#279 introduced the bug.

…pes and duplicate alternates (LAB-2879) Review round on head a0ea1a2 surfaced two real gaps in the alternates loop of tools/path-encoding-verify.py, both fixed here: - Non-UTF-8 escape accepted (CodeRabbit, functional correctness). unquote() defaults to errors="replace", so unquote("%FF") returns U+FFFD instead of rejecting it. A vector with key U+FFFD and alternate "%FF" would pass, though "%FF" is not valid UTF-8 and violates spec rule 1. New decodes_to() helper percent-decodes with errors="strict" and treats a UnicodeDecodeError as a non-match, so an invalid escape can never masquerade as a conformant alternate. - Duplicate alternate accepted (Kody, correctness). The rewrite dropped the alt != encoded distinctness guard, so an encoded_alternates entry that repeats the row's reference encoded form passed silently, weakening spec rule 4 (an alternate is a distinct conformant wire form). Guard re-added as the first check in the loop. self_test gains two mutations — "alternate repeats encoded" and "alternate non-utf8 escape" — so each new guard is proven to trip, per the file's own doctrine that every guard has a poisoned-copy mutation. Also sorted the import block (ruff I001). The FBT001/FBT003/TRY003 and EXE001/LOG015 that CodeRabbit's assertive-profile ruff reports are the same patterns the already-merged sibling tools/file-backend-reference.py carries; rebutted on the PR rather than diverged from the established verifier convention in one file. No CI ruff gate exists; default ruff check is clean bar EXE001/LOG015. Verifier passes: self-test + 15 vectors. Spec text (saas-api.md) unchanged — the cache-key format the expert panel blessed in rounds 1-2 is untouched; this is test-tooling hardening only.
