Conversation
…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 (Gitlawb#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 Gitlawb#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 Gitlawb#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 Gitlawb#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 Gitlawb#268

Both lookups are now bounded by the repo ids the fetched page actually names, and both are skipped entirely when no task on the page names a repo.

[P1] Preserve signed reads for the shipped task clients
crates/gl/src/task.rs:46
This PR changes both REST read endpoints from globally readable to caller-dependent: a repo-less task is visible only to its delegator or assignee, and a private-repo task only to a caller who passes the repo visibility gate. The shipped CLI was not updated for that contract.TaskCommand::ListandViewexpose no--diroption, always constructNodeClient::new(&node, None), and call the explicitly unsignedgetmethod. A delegator can therefore create a repo-less task through the signedgl task createpath, then immediately get an empty list or a 404 for the same task. The MCP tool has a loaded keypair but similarly callsgetrather thanget_maybe_signed.Please address the contract change at the client boundary rather than weakening the server gate: give the CLI read commands access to the configured/selected identity, build their
NodeClientwith that keypair, and use the existing conditional-signing read helper so public task reads remain usable without an identity. Apply the same helper to the MCP task-read tools, then add end-to-end client tests for delegator and assignee reads of repo-less tasks plus a signed private-repo read. -
[P2] Do not apply the task limit before visibility filtering
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:186
Db::list_tasksexecutesORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT $nbeforecollect_visible_taskscallstask_visible. For example, seed one public-repo task, then add 200 newer repo-less/private tasks that the caller cannot read: bothGET /api/v1/tasks?limit=200and GraphQLtasks(limit: 200)return no rows even though the public task is the next row in the database. The response has neither a cursor nor an incomplete flag, so clients have no way to distinguish that false empty result from a complete list. The optionalstatusandassignee_didfilters do not establish a tenant boundary—the unscoped query remains supported, and the same hidden-window failure applies whenever the filters match both sets.The root cause is treating the SQL page size as the visible-result limit. Reuse the ref-update collector's shape: traverse a stable, bounded keyset stream, apply authorization to each fetched batch, and stop only after collecting the requested number of visible rows or exhausting the stream. If a safety scan cap is necessary, expose an explicit continuation/incomplete result rather than silently claiming an empty or complete page. Add REST and GraphQL mixed-visibility tests that prove older visible tasks remain discoverable behind a full hidden window.
-
[P2] Complete the requested repository-lookup scoping
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:207
The current follow-up scopes only the visibility-rule query.collect_visible_tasksstill callslist_all_repos_deduped(), whose implementation runs an unpagedfetch_allover every non-quarantined logical repository, and only then filters the materialized vector to the page's referenced IDs.get_visible_taskdoes the same full fetch followed by a linearfind. Thus an anonymous list request containing onerepo_id, or a request for any repo-scoped task ID, performs O(total hosted repositories) database transfer/allocation despite the code comment and author follow-up claiming the lookup is bounded. This leaves the original CodeRabbit performance concern unresolved and makes the new anonymous read gate an easy repeatable pressure point on a large node.Please fix the source of the work, not its Rust-side projection: add a database accessor that applies the referenced task IDs inside the same canonical/mirror-deduping and quarantine-excluding query used by
list_all_repos_deduped. Use it for both the page and single-task paths, batch-load the corresponding visibility rules, and add a query-level or regression test showing that a one-task request cannot materialize unrelated repositories. Keep the canonical and quarantine semantics intact; a rawrepos WHERE id = ANY(...)lookup would reintroduce the mirror/quarantine ambiguity this code is trying to avoid.

The gate direction is right and the shared collector is the correct shape: both read surfaces move together, limit clamps before SQL, and the delegator/assignee/repo-visibility cases are tested and green. One row class defeats the fail-closed claim, and the primary CLI consumers were not carried along.

[P1] Fail closed when a task's
repo_idresolves only to a mirror row
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:152
Mirror rows are written byupsert_mirror_repowithis_public=trueand no visibility rules, and sync never replicates rules, solistable_at_rootreturns Allow unconditionally for them. A task naming such a repo is served in full to an anonymous caller: I droveGET /api/v1/tasks/{id}andGET /api/v1/tasksthrough the production router with a mirror-only repo and got 200 with thepayloadon both, while the same probe against a canonical private repo correctly 404s.create_taskstoresrepo_idverbatim with no existence check, so this needs no hostile actor, just a task against a repo this node only mirrors. Treat a slash-form id as non-repo-scoped (delegator and assignee only), or resolve it and require a non-slash canonical row, failing closed when there is none;get_repoalone still hands back the mirror when no canonical twin exists. Please add the regression seeded mirror-first, since every current test seeds a canonical row. -
[P2] Carry the
gltask readers onto a signed, status-checked request
crates/gl/src/task.rs:186,crates/gl/src/task.rs:206,crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1062
Both task read commands buildNodeClient::new(&node, None), andhttp.rs:39get()checks no status. After this change the delegator's own repo-less tasks disappear fromgl task listbecause no identity is attached, andgl task viewon a now-404 task parses the error body and prints it as task data, exiting 0.get_maybe_signed(http.rs:79) is whatrepo.rsandprotect.rsalready use for exactly this; route the task reads through it and check status before parsing. -
[P2] Bound the repo scan on the anonymous list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:208
Scoping the rules lookup to the page was the right half of the fix, but every anonymousGET /api/v1/tasksstill reads the full repos table throughlist_all_repos_deduped()before filtering, on a route with no rate limiter. Before this change the route touched no repo data at all. A by-id fetch over the page's referenced ids, or a join, keeps the work proportional to the page.
The ucan_token redaction is clean and pinned at the schema level, and the filter-after-limit tradeoff is documented in the code, so neither is an ask. Heads up that #318 reworks the same handlers, so expect a rebase conflict there.

Every finding from the last round is in, and I checked each against the code rather than the commit messages: the keyset collector with per-batch scoped repo lookups, the slash-form mirror fail-closed branch, the ucan_token-free read projections pinned at the schema level, the signed and status-checked gl and MCP reads, and CodeRabbit's GraphQL denial tests plus the authenticated-denial body assertions. The gate itself is sound.
One blocker, and two things the round left open.

cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warningsfails oncloned-ref-to-slice-refsat&[requested.id.clone()];std::slice::from_ref(&requested.id)is the fix.fmt + clippyis the only red check, and the branch can't merge while it is. -
[P2] Signal truncation when the candidate scan stops short
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:194
collect_visible_tasksstops atMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESand returns a bareVec, and the handler emits{tasks, count}with no flag, so a delegator whose own task sits behind 1000 newer denied rows gets an empty list indistinguishable from having none.denied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceilingpins that drop rather than reporting it. jatmn asked for exactly this in the last round: an explicit incomplete result if a scan cap was necessary. REST is a one-field change; GraphQL needs a wrapper type, so if you'd rather do the resolver in a follow-up, say so and I'll take REST here. -
[P2] Return the task read errors through
AppErrorinstead of a hardcoded 500
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:331
list_tasksandget_taskflattencrate::error::ResultintoINTERNAL_SERVER_ERRORwithe.to_string(), which throws away both thingsAppError'sIntoResponseexists to do: the 503 mapping for an unavailable database (#251) and the opaque body forDberrors on open routes (#226). A read on these routes currently answers a Postgres outage with a 500 carrying raw sqlx text. The sibling read surfacelist_reposreturnsResult<Response>and gets both for free;AppError::NotFoundcoversget_task's 404. The shipped client prints the body verbatim and doesn't parseerror, so the shape change is safe there.
Two notes, neither an ask. The by-ids lookup fixed the half of my scan finding that mattered (no more materializing every repo into Rust), but the dedup CTE still filters repos on the un-indexed owner-key expression, so the scan is full-table even when the page names one repo; an expression index is the real fix and belongs in its own PR. And #186 is editing the same gl/src/task.rs and mcp.rs lines, so expect a conflict whichever lands second.

[P2] Fix the clippy failure in the new database test
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:4355
The requiredfmt + clippycheck is red because the new test allocates and clonesrequested.idsolely to construct a one-element slice, triggeringclippy::cloned-ref-to-slice-refsunder the workspace's-D warningspolicy. The focused local command reproduces the same error, so this head cannot pass CI as submitted. Address the cause rather than suppressing the lint:list_repos_deduped_by_idsaccepts a borrowed slice and does not need ownership, so passstd::slice::from_ref(&requested.id)(or an equivalent borrowed slice) and keep the test exercising the intended one-ID query path. -
[P2] Do not silently report the candidate-scan ceiling as a complete task list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:194
The root cause is that authorization happens after fetching a global keyset page, while the hard ceiling is applied to candidate rows rather than visible rows. For example, put one public-repo task at row 1,001 and put 1,000 newer repo-less tasks owned by other DIDs ahead of it: an anonymousGET /api/v1/tasks?limit=1(and GraphQLtasks(limit: 1)) scans the denied rows, reachesMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES, and returns[]/count: 0. The caller receives neither a cursor nor an incomplete marker, so it cannot distinguish truncation from an exhaustive empty list or resume to the public task. The newdenied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceilingtest explicitly locks in that outcome.Preserve the work bound, but make the limit part of the API contract: return a recoverable continuation/incomplete result on both REST and GraphQL whenever the scan wall is reached before exhaustion. Ideally move as much visibility selection as possible into the database query; if post-filtering remains necessary, return the last examined keyset position and an explicit incomplete/next-page signal, then add mixed-visibility tests with a visible task beyond the ceiling for both surfaces. Do not merely raise the ceiling—the underlying candidate-versus-visible pagination mismatch remains exploitable and will recur on a larger history.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Findings
These findings share one root cause: the list API treats a raw database keyset
position as a public pagination protocol after authorization has removed rows.
Please design and test one authorization-safe cursor contract for both REST and
GraphQL, rather than fixing the individual call sites independently. The
contract must preserve progress through hidden windows without exposing a hidden
row's fields, and must reject invalid or incomplete continuation state.

[P1] Do not expose hidden task metadata in the recovery cursor
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:231
last_examinedis assigned from the final fetched database row beforetask_visiblefilters it, and the scan-cap branch returns that tuple verbatim asnext_cursor. Consequently, an anonymous request with 1,000 newer repo-less/private tasks receives the UUID andcreated_atof the final denied task even thoughGET /tasks/{id}deliberately answers with the opaque 404. This turns the recovery mechanism into a hidden-task enumeration oracle; repeating the walk can disclose a boundary row for every capped window. The root cause is using a row-level keyset position as a public cursor after the row has failed authorization. Do not serialize denied-row fields. Return an opaque, integrity-protected continuation token whose context includes the filters and caller identity, or retain continuation state server-side; validate malformed, expired, and cross-context tokens visibly. Add a regression test asserting that the cap-recovery response contains neither any hidden task ID nor its timestamp. -
[P1] Return a recoverable continuation from the GraphQL task list
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:120
The resolver acceptsafterCreatedAt/afterIdand the shared collector reportsincompleteplus a continuation when it stops after 1,000 denied candidates, but theVec<AgentTaskReadType>return type discards both fields. With 1,000 hidden newer tasks and an older readable task, GraphQL returns an indistinguishable empty list and offers no way for the client to reach the readable task; the added test only succeeds by hard-coding the hidden boundary tuple instead of consuming a response-provided value. The root cause is sharing a bounded collector while exposing only its items, not its pagination/result state. Changetasksto return a connection/page object containing items, an explicit incomplete/has-more signal, and the same safe opaque continuation used by REST (or return a visible error when the scan bound prevents a complete result). Add an end-to-end GraphQL test that obtains the continuation from the first response and reaches the older readable task without revealing any denied-row metadata. -
[P2] Reject partial cursor inputs instead of restarting at the first page
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:357
Thezipturns anafter_created_atwithout its matchingafter_id(and the equivalent partial legacy alias) intoNone, so the server returns page one with 200 rather than signaling an invalid cursor. The GraphQL resolver has the same behavior. A caller that loses one component will therefore duplicate data and cannot distinguish a malformed continuation from a successful first-page response. The root cause is representing one logical cursor as independently optional query fields and then treating an incomplete pair as absence. Parse the cursor atomically: require both components together until the opaque-token migration above is complete, validate their syntax and ordering, and return a clear client error for missing, malformed, expired, or filter/caller-mismatched state. Cover REST and GraphQL with tests for each partial and invalid-cursor shape.

The three asks from my last round are in and I checked each against the code rather than the commit message: std::slice::from_ref at the clippy site, incomplete plus a continuation on the REST list, and both read handlers back on AppError with the 503 and 404 cases tested. jatmn's three findings on this head are all real. I reproduced the first rather than reasoning about it, and it is worse than a metadata leak.

[P1] Derive the continuation cursor from an emitted row, never a scanned one
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:267
last_examinedis stamped fromtasks.last()beforetask_visibleruns, so the cap branch hands back the keyset position of a denied row. I addedassert!(!body.to_string().contains("hidden-"))todenied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceiling_and_signals_incompleteand it fails on{"count":0,"incomplete":true,"next_cursor":{"created_at":"2026-01-02T00:00:00Z","id":"hidden-0000"}}: an anonymous caller receives the id and creation time of a task whoseGET /tasks/{id}deliberately 404s. That id is not inert.claim_task(db/mod.rs:2918) updates by id alone and returns the row'sucan_tokenandpayload, and by #275's own description a NULL-assignee task stays open to the first claimer even after that lands, which is the row class this PR exists to hide. We hit this same shape onlist_pins, and four remedies are already known not to work: base64 of the tuple (transport, not confidentiality), HMAC-signed plaintext (the plaintext still travels), omitting the cursor (starves a visible row sitting past a hidden stretch), and server-side scan state (unbounded growth on an unrated route, plus a restart silently restarting pagination at page one). An AEAD-sealed position with an expiry satisfies both halves. If you would rather not build that here, dropnext_cursor, keepincomplete, and I will open the follow-up, because the anonymous exposure this PR closes is worth landing without it. -
[P1] Return the collector's pagination state from the GraphQL resolver
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:118
Last round I offered to take the REST half and leave the resolver for a follow-up. AcceptingafterCreatedAt/afterIdhere closes that option: the resolver now takes cursor input whileVec<AgentTaskReadType>discardsincompleteandnext_cursor, so a caller behind a hidden window gets an empty list with no way forward and no signal that anything was withheld.query.rs:686shows the cost, since the test can only reach the older task by hard-codingafterId: "hidden-0999", a value no client can obtain. Return a page object carrying the items plus whatever safe continuation REST settles on. -
[P2] Reject a half-supplied cursor instead of serving page one
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:357
Thezipoverafter_created_at/after_id(and thecursor_*aliases, and the same line in the resolver) turns a cursor missing one component intoNone, so a client that loses half its state gets a 200 with the first page and reprocesses rows it already saw. Parse the pair atomically and return a client error on a partial one.
Nothing else this round is an ask. gl task list prints the response verbatim so incomplete does reach the operator, the AppError conversion picks up the 503 and the opaque body for free, and the mirror fail-closed branch and token-free projections are unchanged and still correct. Heads up that #186 and #193 are editing the same gl/src/task.rs lines and #261, #262 and #196 the same server.rs block, so expect a rebase conflict whichever lands second.

The shared collector now gates REST and GraphQL task reads consistently. The scan-wall response does not expose a denied task cursor. I also verified the REST tests use injected I performed static source review only. The sandbox does not permit build or test execution. Your reported CI results cover runtime verification.

Reviewed on 0be9e26f. The timestamp canonicalization is real work and its test is load-bearing: with the space-to-plus branch removed, list_tasks_accepts_and_canonicalizes_spaces_in_timestamp flips to a 400. The 404-not-403 gating of complete_task/fail_task is in on all four surfaces with the assignee check preserved, and CI is 13/13 green on this head. Two things still block, both of which I reproduced by running the endpoint rather than reading it.
Findings
-
[P1] Make the resume work from an anchor the caller can actually hold, or stop promising it
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:277
Thelast_batch_fullconjunct does not change any observable behavior: the only route toscanned >= MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESis through full batches, so it cannot be false at the ceiling. I deleted it and the tasks module stayed at 15/15 green. My probe on this head reproduces the round-5 geometry exactly: a public task, 1000 denied tasks, an older public task, paged anonymously. Page one returnsnewer-visible; page two anchored on that row, the only one the caller received, returnscount 0, incomplete true, and it will on every subsequent attempt, soolder-visibleis unreachable rather than expensive. The continuation tests still hide this by resuming fromafter_id=hidden-0999(tasks.rs:1024,graphql/query.rs:707), a denied row's id no caller can obtain. Either make the resume terminate from a legitimately-received anchor or state the stall in theVisibleTaskscomment and test it with anchors a caller can actually hold. -
[P1] Preserve the fractional width when canonicalizing the anchor
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:359
canonicalize_timestampre-renders throughdt.to_rfc3339(), which drops a trailing-zero fraction, so a stored2026-06-01T00:00:00.000000000+00:00comes back as2026-06-01T00:00:00+00:00. Against a TEXT column compared as(created_at, id) < ($3, $4),+sorts below., so the anchor lands under both rows sharing that timestamp. I seeded two tasks at...000000000+00:00plus an older one, echoed the servedcreated_atintoafter_created_at, and page two skipped the same-timestamp sibling and returned the older task.Utc::now().to_rfc3339()emits that form whenever the nanosecond clock reads zero, so it is a production value, not a contrived one. Render the canonical anchor at the width the input carried, or compare astimestamptz, and add a pagination test that echoes a trailing-zero-fractioncreated_at. -
[P2] Make the mixed-alias test fail when the mix check is removed
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:1092
list_tasks_rejects_mixed_cursor_alias_familiespasses with the cross-family branch deleted. Its input?after_created_at=X&cursor_id=Yalso trips the partial-pair branch, which returns the same 400, so the test cannot tell the two apart. Assert the specific error message, or add the reverse mix plus a half-suppliedcursor_*pair. -
[P3] Mark the release breaking
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/query.rs:108
Carried from the last round and still open.main's resolver test selects{ tasks(limit: -1) { id } }and this one selects{ tasks(limit: -1) { items { id } } }, so an existing consumer query stops parsing. The PR still ships as a plainfix(node):, and withbump-minor-pre-majorset inrelease-please-config.jsonthat is a patch bump with a silent changelog instead of a minor bump that tells GraphQL consumers to edit their queries. Add the!and a BREAKING CHANGE note naming the new selection shape.
Process note, not an ask: the base is still 11 commits behind main with db/mod.rs touched on both sides. Rebase before merge so the resolution does not land unreviewed.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
The read-side gating for list_tasks, get_task, GraphQL tasks/task, and complete/fail is coherent and well tested. The remaining gap is that claim was not brought under the same rules, so knowing a task id still yields secrets on the write path. Several other findings share a common root cause: visibility rules were applied surface-by-surface instead of through one shared authorization path for every task touchpoint (read, write, broadcast, client).
Items below are ordered by merge priority. Each finding includes the failure path, root cause, and concrete guidance.
Findings
-
[P1] Gate
claim_task/claimTaskbehind the same visibility check as read and complete/fail
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:464
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:61What happens.
complete_taskandfail_taskload the task throughget_visible_taskand return an opaque 404 when the caller may not see it.claim_taskskips that check and callsdb.claim_taskdirectly. On success it returnstask_to_json, which includesucan_tokenandpayload. A signed stranger who knows a pending task id therefore receives the secrets thatGET /api/v1/tasks/{id}and GraphQLtaskintentionally withhold viatask_to_read_json. GraphQLclaimTaskhas the same gap. The code even acknowledges thatclaim_taskaccepts idsGET /tasks/{id}would 404 (tasks.rs:188-189).Repro sketch. Delegator creates a repo-less task (or any task the stranger cannot read). Stranger learns or guesses the UUID.
GET /api/v1/tasks/{id}→ 404.POST /api/v1/tasks/{id}/claimwith the stranger's signed DID → 200 with fullucan_tokenandpayload. #268 is bypassed on the write path.Root cause. Visibility was applied incrementally per handler during this PR. Reads and complete/fail were migrated to
get_visible_task; claim was left on the pre-#268 "authenticated signer + pending status" model. Claim is also the only post-#268 path that still returnstask_to_json(secrets) to a caller who could not read the task.Guidance. Introduce a single mutation gate used by every task write path, not just complete/fail. Something like
authorize_task_mutation(db, id, caller) -> Result<AgentTask, AppError>that wrapsget_visible_taskand returns opaqueNotFoundwhenNone. In RESTclaim_task, call that beforedb.claim_task; mirror in GraphQLclaimTask. Keep the existing assignee-binding check (assignee_didmust match signer) after visibility passes. Return opaque 404 for invisible tasks — do not return 409 "not claimable" for invisible ids, or existence leaks (complete/fail already use 404 for this). Add REST and GraphQL deny tests parallel tocomplete_and_fail_task_on_invisible_task_returns_404_not_403, asserting the response body does not containucan_tokenorpayload. Consider whether claim should continue returningtask_to_jsonat all post-#268, or only return secrets to callers who were already party to the task before claim; at minimum, invisible callers must never reach that response. -
[P1] Do not let
claim_taskoverwrite a pre-designated assignee on a pending task
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2918
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:330What happens.
create_taskpersistsbody.assignee_didwhilestatusremainspending(tasks.rs:330-336). The designated assignee can read the task via the party check intask_visible. Butdb.claim_taskrunsUPDATE ... SET assignee_did=$2 ... WHERE id=$1 AND status='pending'with no guard thatassignee_didis null or matches the caller. Any other authenticated signer who knows the id can claim first, overwrite the designated assignee, receiveucan_token, and complete the task.Repro sketch. Delegator creates task with
assignee_did: ALICE, statuspending. Alice can read it. Bob (signed stranger who knows the id) callsclaim_taskfirst. Bob becomes assignee and gets secrets; Alice is locked out of complete/fail.Root cause. The data model allows two competing semantics on the same row: "pre-assigned pending task" (assignee set at creation) vs "open pool claim" (first signer wins).
claim_taskalways implements the second without checking whether the first was intended. Visibility gating alone does not fix this — a stranger who can read a public-repo task could still hijack a pre-assigned one.Guidance. Pick one workflow and enforce it in one place (ideally
db.claim_taskor a shared helper above it):- Pre-assigned pending tasks: if
assignee_did IS NOT NULL, only that DID may claim; others get opaque 404 (or 409 only when the caller can see the task and is simply not the assignee — but prefer 404 if you want parity with complete/fail existence hiding). Optionally setstatus='claimed'at creation whenassignee_didis set, so claim becomes a no-op handoff rather than a race. - Open pool tasks: if
assignee_did IS NULL, current first-claimer-wins behavior is fine once visibility is gated.
Whichever you choose, add a test: create withassignee_did, hostile claim by a different signer → denied, intended assignee can still claim/complete.

[P2] Filter or gate
task_eventsbefore broadcasting to anonymous subscribers
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/subscription.rs:49
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:480What happens.
/graphql/wshas no caller identity (subscription.rs:14-17).task_eventsrelays everyTaskEventBroadcastsent fromclaim_task,complete_task, andfail_task(tasks.rs:480-486,531-537,583+) with only an optionaltask_idstring filter. That does not exposeucan_tokenorpayload, but it does exposetask_id,old_status,new_status,by_did, andatfor tasks the gated read surfaces hide.Repro sketch. Subscribe anonymously to
task_eventson/graphql/ws. Trigger a claim/complete/fail on a repo-less or private task. Receive live metadata for a task thatGET /tasks/{id}would 404.Root cause. The same architectural gap as pre-gated
ref_updates: a broadcast channel feeds an unauthenticated subscription with no per-event visibility check.ref_updateswas fixed with a write-sideannouncegate inapi/repos.rs:2480-2501and a documented invariant insubscription.rs:17-22. Task events never got an equivalent invariant — handlers broadcast unconditionally after every mutation.Guidance. Follow the
ref_updatespattern rather than trying to authenticate/graphql/wsper subscriber (which the comment explains is not available). At broadcast time in each task mutation handler, onlysendwhen the event would be visible to an anonymous subscriber — i.e. whentask_visiblewould return true forcaller: Noneon that task (public-repo task with listable visibility). For repo-less or party-only tasks, skip the broadcast entirely, or broadcast only to party-visible channels if you add authenticated subscriptions later. Document the invariant besidetask_eventsthe wayref_updatesdocumentsannounce. Add a subscription test: create invisible task, claim it, assert anonymoustask_eventssubscriber receives nothing. -
[P3] Set
incomplete: falsewhen the keyset stream is exhausted at the scan ceiling
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:276What happens.
incompleteis computed asvisible.len() < bounded_limit && scanned >= MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESwith no check that the final SQL batch was full. When the table contains exactly 1,000 matching rows and the last batch returns a full 200-row page, the loop exits becausescanned == 1000even though row 1,001 does not exist. Callers receive{ "tasks": [], "incomplete": true }on an exhaustive empty page and cannot distinguish it from the intentional stall behind ≥1,000 denied rows (denied_history_scan_stops_at_candidate_ceiling_and_signals_incomplete).Root cause.
incompleteconflates two different conditions: (a) "scan wall hit, more candidates may exist beyond what we examined" and (b) "we examined every row in the filtered set." Only (a) should setincomplete: true.Guidance. Track whether the loop stopped because
scanned == MAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESand the last batch length equaledbatch_limit(suggesting more rows may exist). If the last batch was partial (tasks.len() < batch_limit) or empty, the stream is exhausted — setincomplete: falseeven whenscanned == 1000. Add a regression test: seed exactly 1,000 anonymous-invisible tasks (no visible rows),limit=1, first page →{ count: 0, incomplete: false }. -
[P3] Normalize cursor timestamps to the stored RFC3339 representation before keyset compare
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:358
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2904What happens.
canonicalize_timestampvalidates RFC3339 and fixes space-decoded+, but preserves the caller's suffix (Zvs+00:00).list_tasks_keysetcomparescreated_atasTEXTwith(created_at, id) < ($3, $4). Equivalent instants with different suffixes sort as different strings, so pagination can skip or duplicate rows. Tests seed bothZ(denied_history_scan...) and+00:00(list_tasks_keyset_advances...) but never cross-suffix pagination.Root cause. Keyset pagination was implemented on
TEXTcolumns without a single canonical storage format at write and cursor-parse time.canonicalize_timestampoptimizes for byte-exact round-trip with stored values but does not normalize equivalent UTC representations.Guidance. After
parse_from_rfc3339, re-render through one canonical function used by bothcreate_task(Utc::now().to_rfc3339()today) and cursor parsing — e.g. parse →DateTime<Utc>→ format with fixed suffix and fractional precision. Apply the same canonical form on insert if legacy rows may have mixed suffixes (one-time normalization or SQL-sidetimestamptzmigration long-term). Add a test: create viacreate_task, list, page with cursor using the alternate suffix (Zvs+00:00) and assert no skip/duplicate. -
[P3] Propagate HTTP errors from MCP
task_claimandtask_complete
crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1097What happens. This PR added
.error_for_status()to MCPtask_list(mcp.rs:1074) but lefttask_claimandtask_completeas.post(...).await?.json().await?. A 404/409/500 from the node is parsed as JSON and returned to the agent as pretty-printed success.Root cause. Client error handling was updated for the new read path in this PR but not extended to the sibling write tools in the same module.
Guidance. Mirror
task_list: chain.error_for_status()?before.json(). Add MCP tests that mock a 404 claim and assert the tool returns an error, not a success payload. Apply the same pattern to any other task MCP tools touched in this PR for consistency. -
[P3] Teach
gl task listand MCPtask_listto pass pagination cursors
crates/gl/src/task.rs:187
crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1062What happens. REST and GraphQL now support
after_created_at/after_id(andincomplete).cmd_listbuilds onlylimit,status, andassignee_did; MCPtask_listexposes the same three fields. Any result set longer than one page is unreachable from shipped clients even whenincompleteis false.Root cause. Server pagination shipped without updating the two primary consumers in the same PR. Clients and server contract drifted.
Guidance. Add
--after-created-at/--after-id(and/or--cursor-created-at/--cursor-idif you want REST alias parity) togl task list. Expose the same optional fields on MCPtask_list. Loop or document that callers must followincompleteuntil false. Forward params to the REST query string the handlers already accept. Add CLI/MCP tests that request page 2 with a cursor from page 1. -
[P3] Rate-limit or further bound anonymous task-list scans
crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs:85What happens. Each unauthenticated
GET /api/v1/taskscan execute up to fivelist_tasks_keysetbatches (200 rows each), plus per-batchlist_repos_deduped_by_idsandlist_visibility_rules_for_reposcalls, with no IP/DID throttle ontask_read_routes. A caller can also supplyassignee_didto force scanning up to 1,000 rows that visibility then drops.Root cause. The gated list path is inherently O(scanned × visibility lookups) and was added without a read-side throttle, while creation routes already carry per-DID and per-IP limiters (
server.rs:90-97).Guidance. Add a read-side rate limiter on
task_read_routes— at minimum per-IP, optionally per-DID when signed. Alternatively lowerMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESor batch size for anonymous callers. If full rate limiting is deferred, document the scan cost in operator docs and consider logging when the 1,000-row ceiling is hit. -
[P3] Return retryable
503/db_unavailablefrom complete/fail whenget_visible_taskhits a closed pool
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:500What happens.
list_tasksandget_taskwere migrated toAppErrorand map a closed pool to503withdb_unavailable.complete_taskandfail_taskwrapget_visible_taskerrors in a manual(StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, Json(...))tuple.Root cause. Error handling migration was applied to read handlers in this PR but complete/fail still use the legacy tuple style for the visibility pre-check.
Guidance. Change complete/fail (and claim, once gated) to return
crate::error::Resultand propagateAppErrorfromget_visible_task, matchingget_task. Or extract a sharedmap_task_db_errused by all task handlers. Add a test with a closed pool asserting 503, not 500. -
[P3] Add a composite index for the new keyset ordering
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2899What happens.
list_tasks_keysetorders bycreated_at DESC, id DESC, butagent_tasksonly indexesstatus,delegator_did,assignee_did, andrepo_id(db/mod.rs:626-629). Large tables will sort-scan on every gated list request.Root cause. New access pattern introduced without a matching index in the schema bootstrap.
Guidance. Add
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_agent_tasks_created_id ON agent_tasks(created_at DESC, id DESC)(or ascending pair if your SQLite/PG version prefers it — match theORDER BY). If status/assignee filters are common, consider a composite starting with those columns after measuring query plans. Can land in this PR or an immediately paired migration; either way, note it in the PR body so operators know to expect the index on deploy.

Reviewed on fe5d6c0e. Both round-6 blocks are resolved. canonicalize_timestamp now preserves the caller's fractional width verbatim, so the trailing-zero case that used to drop same-timestamp siblings pages correctly; the continuation tests anchor on newer-visible, a row a caller genuinely receives; and the scan-wall stall is documented in the VisibleTasks comment and pinned by tests that use only legitimate anchors. The mixed-alias test is load-bearing now too: delete the cross-family check and it goes red (200 where it wants 400). The mirror-row case is handled and fails closed, a slash-form repo_id cannot establish read access. CI is green on this head.
Two P1s still block, and both are on the claim path. I reproduced both by driving the real handler.

[P1] Gate
claim_task/claimTaskbehind the same visibility check as reads
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:464
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:55
claim_taskcallsdb.claim_taskdirectly with no visibility pre-check and returnstask_to_json, which includesucan_tokenandpayload. I seeded a repo-less task and claimed it as a stranger:GET /api/v1/tasks/t1returned 404, thenPOST /api/v1/tasks/t1/claimreturned 200 with"ucan_token":"SECRET-UCAN-TOKEN"and"payload":"payload-data". GraphQLclaimTaskhas the same gap. The mutation-route guard acceptsclaim_taskon a signer-binding marker, but binding the actor to the signer is not authorizing the actor against the task. Route claim through the sameget_visible_taskgate complete/fail use (opaque 404 for invisible tasks, both surfaces), and keep the 404-not-403 shape so existence is not leaked. -
[P1] Do not let
claim_taskdisplace a pre-assigned assignee
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2918
create_taskpersistsassignee_didwhile status stayspending, so a designated assignee can read the task via the party check. Butdb.claim_taskrunsUPDATE ... SET assignee_did=$2 WHERE id=$1 AND status='pending'with no guard on the stored assignee. I created a task pre-assigned to Alice, claimed it as Bob, and got 200 with Bob stamped as assignee plus the secret-bearing row; Alice is now locked out of complete/fail. Add the assignee predicate to the claim UPDATE (assignee_did IS NULL OR assignee_did = $2), or setstatus='claimed'at creation when an assignee is named, and add the hostile-claim regression test for whichever semantics you pick. -
[P2] Stop broadcasting invisible-task events to anonymous subscribers
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/subscription.rs:49
/graphql/wsis mounted outside the signature layer, sotask_eventsrelays every claim/complete/fail broadcast to anonymous subscribers, includingtask_id,by_did, and status transitions for tasks the gated read surfaces 404. Theref_updatessubscription has a write-sideannouncegate and a documented invariant for exactly this reason;task_eventshas neither. Gate the broadcast at the send sites (only emit when the event's task is listable to an anonymous caller), and add a subscription test asserting an invisible task's events never reach an anonymous subscriber. -
[P3]
incomplete: trueon an exhausted stream
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:276
incompleteis true whenever the scan hits the 1000-candidate ceiling, with no check on whether the final batch was full. I seeded exactly 1000 invisible tasks and requestedlimit=1: the stream is exhausted, and the response was{"count":0,"incomplete":true}, which a client followingincompletereads as "keep paging" forever. Track whether the loop stopped on a full final batch with rows possibly beyond, and reportincomplete: falsewhen the last batch was partial or empty. This is the exact-boundary residual of the round-6last_batch_fullwork, which the author removed rather than fixed. -
[P3] Return retryable 503 from complete/fail when the visibility pre-check hits a closed pool
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:500
list_tasksandget_taskpropagateAppErrorand map a closed pool to 503db_unavailable(both have passing tests).complete_taskandfail_taskwrap the sameget_visible_taskerror in a manual 500 tuple, so a closed pool during the visibility pre-check returns 500 instead of retryable 503. Route the pre-check error throughcrate::error::Resultlike the read handlers, and cover the mutation paths with a closed-pool case asserting the retryable status. -
[P3] Return the standard 404 envelope on complete/fail
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:510
complete_task/fail_taskreturn an inline{"error":"task not found"}, whileget_taskrenders{"error":"not_found","message":"task not found"}through the shared error path. UseAppError::NotFoundso both surfaces agree, and extend the existing unreadable-vs-non-assignee case to assert the body shape, not just the status. -
[P3] Make MCP
task_claim/task_completeand the CLI write arms check status
crates/gl/src/mcp.rs:1097
crates/gl/src/task.rs:234
task_listgained.error_for_status(), buttask_claimandtask_complete(MCP and CLI) still parse the response body with no status check, so the new 404/409 renders as a successful result and the tool exits 0. Chain.error_for_status()on the write arms too, and add a mock test stubbing a 404 claim that asserts the tool errors.
One process note, not an ask: the base is 11 commits behind main, with db/mod.rs touched on both sides (main's side is the certificate LIKE-escape and advisory-lock work, none of it task code, so nothing here is a stale-base false alarm). Rebase before merge so the resolution does not land unreviewed.
Not an ask, recorded only: the release-please marker. The title now carries fix(node)!: and the body names the breaking GraphQL shape, but release-please does not read PR titles and none of the 13 commits carries a ! or BREAKING CHANGE footer, so a squash merge would still release the breaking change as a patch bump with a silent changelog. A commit-level marker, or a release-please pull-request-title-patterns guard, would make the minor bump real.
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 Gitlawb#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 Gitlawb#268

Reviewed on 9ceab8d7. Both round-6 blockers are fixed and I checked each against the code rather than the commit message. REST and GraphQL claim now run the same get_visible_task pre-check as complete/fail, so claiming an invisible task 404s instead of returning ucan_token through task_to_json, and deleting that pre-check flips claim_task_on_invisible_task_returns_404_not_success_or_409 to RED (200 where it wants 404). The assignee_did IS NULL OR assignee_did = $2 predicate is in the claim UPDATE, all six event sites now route through announce_task_event, and the CLI and MCP claim/complete/fail arms all gained error_for_status. What is left is smaller than round 6.
Findings
-
[P2] Pin the assignee predicate and the broadcast gate with tests that go RED when the guard is deleted
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2923
Both new protections are correct and neither is held by a test. Delete theAND (assignee_did IS NULL OR assignee_did = $2)line and the suite stays green (17/17visible_tasks_tests, 3/3graphql::mutation), because thetask()fixture hardcodesassignee_did: Noneand nothing seeds a pre-assigned task anywhere. Same for the announce gate: replaceannounce_task_event's body with a baretx.send(event)and everything still passes, since no test subscribes totask_event_tx. This was the round-6 ask and it is the one that keeps not landing. The hostile-claim test is a fixture change plus three requests (stranger claim denied, intended assignee claims, second claim refused), and the subscription test has a working model on the ref-update side atapi/repos.rs:9087. -
[P3] Track the final-batch-full case so
incompletestops meaning "the wall was hit"
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:282
9ceab8d7reads as a fix for this but it is behavior-preserving: the early return replaces abreakthat already producedincomplete: false, and the droppedvisible.len() < bounded_limitconjunct is implied at the point the flag is computed. Exactly 1000 invisible tasks with?limit=1still returns{"count":0,"incomplete":true}when row 1001 does not exist, because batch 5 comes back full,last_batchis false, and the loop exits on the ceiling withscanned == 1000. A client that pages whileincompleteis true never stops. Carry whether the last batch was full alongside the ceiling count, and seed exactlyMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATESrows in a test assertingincomplete: false. -
[P3] Put claim/complete/fail on the shared error path
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:501
The three mutation handlers still build their error responses by hand whilelist_tasksandget_taskgo throughAppError. Two consequences. A closed pool during the visibility pre-check returns 500 withe.to_string()in the body, where the read surfaces return the retryable 503db_unavailablethatlist_tasks_closed_pool_returns_503_db_unavailablepins. And the 404 body is{"error":"task not found"}againstget_task's{"error":"not_found","message":...}, so a client cannot parse the two the same way. Route all three through the same conversion and add the closed-pool case. To be clear about what I am not asking for: the 409 carries a fixed message fromclaim_task, not database text, and a caller who gets 409 could already read that task's status throughGET, so I do not read the 404/409 split as a leak.
Two things worth noting without an ask. No test exercises the new error_for_status arms, since the CLI and MCP claim/complete/fail mocks are all 200s; worth folding into the round-6 client-test work rather than a separate pass. And the base is 14 commits behind main with db/mod.rs touched on both sides. Main's side is the certificate LIKE-escape work and none of it is task code, so nothing here is a stale-base artifact, but rebase before merge so that resolution gets read.
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 Gitlawb#268

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Overarching guidance
This PR is fixing a real and important authorization boundary, but the remaining problems all come from treating task visibility, pagination, API shape, and client behavior as separate edits. They are one public contract:
- The server must decide which tasks a caller may observe without leaking denied rows.
- It must give that caller a safe, finite way to enumerate every permitted task in a stable order.
- REST, GraphQL,
gl, and MCP must expose the same completion/truncation semantics. - Expected task-state races must have the same client-safe error vocabulary across transports, while infrastructure failures remain opaque.
Please rework the task-read path around that contract before making another targeted patch. In particular, define the paging protocol first: the ordering key, the cursor/token ownership and integrity model, what has_more/incomplete means, how a denied-row scan budget is represented, and what happens when a client resumes after a long hidden window. Then use that one implementation for REST and GraphQL, and update gl and MCP to consume it with page/row caps, progress checks, and an explicit incomplete/error result. Do not make incomplete do double duty for both “the scan budget stopped” and “there are more visible results”; callers need to distinguish those states.
The tests should exercise the public workflow rather than only individual helper branches. A good regression matrix includes: more than 200 visible tasks; a visible task after more than 1,000 denied tasks; exact timestamp ties; equivalent RFC3339 spellings and offsets; stale/racing claim and finish attempts; anonymous, unrelated signed, delegator, assignee, and repo-reader callers; and the same cases through REST, GraphQL, CLI, and MCP. Each pagination test should repeatedly use only the continuation returned by the preceding response—never fabricate a cursor for a denied row—until it reaches a verifiable terminal state.
Finally, keep error translation centralized. The DB layer can distinguish a state-transition miss from a real SQL failure, but it should not leave each transport to invent its own response. Classify it once into an application error, render the curated client-safe form consistently in REST and GraphQL, and test both the expected conflict path and a genuine database outage. This will reduce follow-up review churn because behavior is proven at the same boundaries that users actually call.

[P2] Do not advertise a recoverable page when the scan wall has no recovery path
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:198
The new collector starts each request from the client-supplied visible-row cursor and stops afterMAX_TASK_SCAN_CANDIDATES. If the next 1,000 rows are denied and a visible task is row 1,001, it returns{ tasks: [], incomplete: true }. The only cursor the caller legitimately has remains the prior visible task, so retrying the request scans the same denied window and can never reach the later visible task. The new regression test explicitly asserts this permanent stall rather than exercising a continuation.Address the root cause—the cursor represents only a visible row while the scan budget is measured in candidate rows. Design a server-issued, integrity-protected continuation token that advances past examined candidates without exposing their IDs/timestamps, or use a query/filtering strategy that can continue from a client-safe position. Then add an end-to-end REST and GraphQL test with a visible row after a denied window proving that a normal client can retrieve it without knowing any denied-row data.

[P2] Surface the new 200-row cap and provide a usable continuation in shipped clients
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:284
collect_visible_tasksclamps every requested limit to 200 and immediately returnsincomplete: falseonce that many visible rows are collected; it does not probe for or signal additional visible rows. The REST payload contains neither a next cursor nor ahas_moresignal. Bothgl task listand MCPtask_listissue exactly one request and expose noafter_*inputs, so--limit 500now prints a successful but silently incomplete 200-row result even when ordinary pagination would be possible.Separate “the authorization scan hit its safety wall” from “this page has more visible results.” Return a client-safe next-page mechanism whenever a page fills, document the limit change, and either have the CLI/MCP follow pages with bounded progress guards or emit an explicit incomplete/truncated result. Cover a >200 visible-task case through the actual CLI and MCP paths, not only the server collector.

[P2] Normalize cursors to the stored key representation before comparing TEXT timestamps
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:416
canonicalize_timestamponly validates RFC3339 and rewrites decoded spaces; it intentionally preserves the caller's offset and fractional spelling.list_tasks_keysetthen compares the cursor tocreated_atas a PostgreSQL TEXT tuple. Equivalent instants therefore need not have the same lexical order: for example, a stored...Zvalue and a caller-provided...+00:00value sort differently despite denoting the same time. The request succeeds rather than rejecting the non-canonical cursor, so a client can silently skip or repeat same-time rows.Make the pagination key represent one ordering domain. Either require the exact timestamp string emitted by the preceding response and reject aliases, or store/compare a typed timestamp plus a stable tie-breaker and normalize all accepted cursor values to that same typed key. Add negative coverage for
Z/+00:00, non-UTC offsets, and fractional-width aliases around equal-timestamp sibling rows. -
[P2] Route GraphQL task write conflicts through the new application-error mapping
crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:80
The REST handlers convert failedclaim_task/finish_taskoperations intoAppError::Conflictwith fixed client-safe messages, while this PR also addsConflictto the curated GraphQL application-error mapping. HoweverclaimTask,completeTask, andfailTaskstill callgraphql_db_errdirectly on those same database-layer business failures. A normal claim race or a stale finish is therefore reported to GraphQL clients as a generic database failure instead of the actionable conflict that REST clients receive; the newConflictarm is effectively unused for these operations.Centralize the business-error classification at the transport boundary: make the shared task-write mapper available to GraphQL, apply it at all three mutation call sites, and pass its
AppErrorthroughgraphql_app_err. Preserve opaque handling for genuine SQL failures, then add GraphQL tests for claim and finish races asserting the fixed conflict message while a forced SQL error remains opaque. This is also the unresolved CodeRabbit request on the current head.

Reviewed on f5c2d777. The assignee DID-form fix is correct and I checked it against the code rather than the commit message: ASSIGNEE_DID_CASE_SQL is did:key-scoped, claim_task binds the presented DID for the write and the normalized key for the pre-assignment guard, and list_tasks_keyset filters through the same expression, so REST and GraphQL move together on the shared collector. Both new tests are load-bearing by execution: replacing the CASE with the bare column turns claim_and_list_match_bare_and_did_key_assignee_forms red on the full-form assertion, and broadening the prefix to did:% turns it red on the did:web non-collapse assertion. The gating direction is right and I am not asking for rework.
Three asks, the first of which is the one that holds this round.

[P2] Check the status on
cmd_createlike the five siblings this PR fixed
crates/gl/src/task.rs:174This round added
error_for_status()to list, view, claim, complete, and fail. Create was left out, so it still goes straight frompostto.json(). A 4xx or 5xx renders as ordinary output with exit 0, and the task the user believes they created does not exist.test_create_task_server_errorcurrently pins that behavior with a mocked 500 and the comment "Should still succeed (prints JSON, doesn't check status code)", so the test has to flip with the fix. A denial must never reach the user as a successful-looking result, and create is the last surface on this resource where it still can. -
[P2] Back the assignee CASE predicate with a matching expression index
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:2911Wrapping
assignee_didin the CASE makesidx_agent_tasks_assignee(db/mod.rs:628) unusable for the filtered list. On a 50k-row table with the handler's exact predicate, the raw equality plans an Index Scan with an Index Cond and finishes in 0.02ms, while the CASE plans a Seq Scan that discards 49,999 rows in 16ms. The read routes are anonymous, so any unauthenticated caller passing?assignee_did=now costs a full scan of the task table per request. The repo already has the fix pattern:idx_repos_owner_key_name(db/mod.rs:815) is an expression index byte-identical toOWNER_KEY_CASE_SQL, and I confirmed the equivalent index restores the Index Cond on this predicate. It needs a newMIGRATIONSversion rather than an edit to an applied one, and the CASE has to stay byte-identical for Postgres to match it. -
[P3] Add the single-residual
did:web:shape to the parity boundary matrix
crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs:5153The matrix covers the multi-colon
did:web:example.com:alicebut notdid:web:z6Mkfoo. That gap is not theoretical: broadening the guard toLIKE 'did:%'passes all eight current values and diverges only on the single-residual shape, so the parity test stays green under a mutation that does collapsedid:webinto thedid:keyspace. The integration test catches it through theweb-assigneerow, so the property is protected and this is defence in depth, but one more string in the array pins it at the layer that exists to pin it.
Two things I looked at and am not asking you to change. The write responses on claim, complete, and fail still use task_to_json, so an open task on a public repo hands its ucan_token to whichever signed stranger claims it first. I confirmed by running it: 200 with the token in the body. It is not an escalation, because validate_ucan_chain requires the presented UCAN's issuer to equal the signer, so a third party cannot replay it; and the projection is unchanged from main, since this PR only removes the token from the read surfaces. That makes it a pre-existing disclosure rather than something you introduced, and I will take it separately. Task payload remaining visible to any repo reader is the deliberate contract of this change, not an oversight, and I am settling it that way rather than leaving it open.
The cargo audit failure is not yours. It is RUSTSEC-2026-0258, h2 unbounded empty DATA frames, on h2 0.4.13 in the shared lockfile. Your branch has zero dependency delta against its merge base and main carries the same version, so it reddens every open branch rather than this one. #368 already bumps it to 0.4.16 and is mergeable, so this clears without anything from you.
(Corrected: an earlier version of this paragraph named core2. That is a separate unmaintained warning in the same output and is not what fails the job.)
One thing for merge time: main is fourteen commits ahead of the merge base and db/mod.rs moved on both sides, so the rebase resolution there wants a second look. Main's changes to that file are LIKE-escaping work on certificate prefix search, not task code, so I do not expect a real conflict in what you touched.

Correcting one thing from my last review. I said I would take the #268 already scopes it. That issue makes the same non-replayability argument I did (a presented UCAN's issuer must equal the verified signer, So no follow-up issue, and nothing changes here. The three asks from that review stand as they are. |
