test(node): cover the sweep's boot wiring and prove an interrupted push never reaches the upload

Two claims from earlier commits were argued rather than executed. Both are now
observed.

The legacy-CID sweep's spawn sat inline in main() where no test could reach it,
so the batch size, the inter-batch delay, the detachment and the shutdown select
were all reasoned. The block moves verbatim into `spawn_legacy_cid_sweep`, which
a test calls directly. It seeds rows whose keys are already canonical, so the
cost gate skips each and the persisted cursor reads out walk progress cleanly,
then asserts the cursor stops at the configured batch boundary, the call returns
without blocking, the task is still alive inside its delay, and shutdown ends it.
Never spawning, reading the batch or delay from the wrong knob, or removing the
shutdown branch each turns it red. What remains reasoned is the single call line
inside main(), down from a twenty-six line block.

The claim that a disconnect-interrupted push never uploads to Tigris was
structural: the tests build the store with no Tigris client, so a counter inside
the client arm could never move and would have proved nothing. The counter now
sits at the upload decision, before the client is consulted, and the disconnect
test asserts zero while the success test asserts exactly one. That positive
control is what makes the zero meaningful, and it is itself load-bearing:
releasing the success path with failure semantics drops it to zero, and adding a
Drop impl that uploads raises the disconnect count to one.

The counter observes reaching the upload site, not an S3 request. TigrisClient
wraps a concrete SDK client with no injectable endpoint, and plumbing one through
would be out of proportion to the risk here.

-# Contributor guide for coding agents
-
-This file carries the rules a patch author cannot recover from the code alone, for humans and coding agents alike. For build, test, and PR basics, read `CONTRIBUTING.md` first.
-
-## Authorization invariants (the rules PRs most often break)
-
-Every repo-scoped endpoint must bind the caller to an authorization decision before serving or mutating anything. The `known_ungated` allowlist in `authz_guard::every_repo_scoped_handler_is_gated` is empty on main: `list_webhooks`, `list_replicas`, and `list_protected_branches` are gated (`list_webhooks` with read-visibility then owner; the other two with `authorize_repo_read`). Do not re-open those surfaces as exceptions.
-
-- Owner-only mutations (visibility, webhooks, protected branches, merges) are gated against the repo owner. Three gate forms are in use and all are recognized: webhooks and merges call `require_repo_owner` (`crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/mod.rs`), visibility uses its module-local `require_owner`, and protected branches compare inline with `did_matches`. Use the form the surrounding module already uses.
-- Not every write is owner-only, and that is by design: `star_repo`/`unstar_repo` bind to the signer (they still require repo read access), `register_replica`/`unregister_replica` bind to the replica's own DID, the bounty actions (claim, submit, approve, cancel, dispute) have their own multi-party rules, and closing a PR or issue is owner-or-author. Do not add owner gates to these.
-- Content-serving reads (blobs, trees, raw files) gate through `authorize_repo_read` with the specific path being served, so a withheld subtree is denied even on an otherwise-public repo; repo-level reads (listings) pass `"/"` by the helper's own contract. The source scans below cannot check this argument's value, so review will.
-- A route that reaches repo data through a global id, with no repo in its path, or through an extractor shape the scans do not recognize still needs the same gate; the scans cannot see those.
-- Read-surface denials must not reveal existence: a caller who may not read a repo (or a withheld subtree) gets the same 404 as a missing repo, never a 403. (Owner-gated mutations currently return 403 after the repo lookup; do not widen that shape to read paths.)
-- Two tests in module `authz_guard` (`crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/mod.rs`) scan handler sources and fail on a repo-scoped handler without a recognized gate: `every_in_scope_mutation_has_its_gate` and `every_repo_scoped_handler_is_gated`. If they fail on your handler, add the gate. The second test's `known_ungated` allowlist is empty; never add an entry to it without an open issue and review.
-
-## Adding or changing routes
-
-- A new gated handler needs tests proving its route-specific gate fires: exercise an unauthorized authenticated caller and an anonymous caller where applicable, assert the exact denial status each way, and assert the body leaks nothing. The non-owner tests in `crates/gitlawb-node/src/test_support.rs` show the shape for owner-gated routes.
-- A new mutation handler also gets a row in `every_in_scope_mutation_has_its_gate` naming its gate type; the per-handler row is the point of that test.
-- A table-driven deny suite covering every deny-bearing route is in review (#194, #195). If it is present in your checkout, add a probe row there for any new deny-bearing route.
-
-## Verifying signatures and certificates
-
-- Derive the verifying key from something outside the artifact you are checking: the node's own DID, a pinned or configured value, a peers lookup. A key read from a field of the object being verified (`Did::from_str(&cert.node_did)`) only proves the artifact is self-consistent, and identities here are permissionless, so anyone can mint a keypair, name it in the artifact, self-sign, and be told it is valid. A mismatch against that anchor has to fail the result, not log a warning.
-- A handler whose correct answer is "valid" needs a positive case driven by a trusted, independently anchored artifact, and a rejection case for a well-formed, fully populated forged artifact. Invalid-only suites miss an implementation that rejects everything; a forged artifact that still returns valid is the regression that matters.
-- The fields a signature covers are a versioned format. Adding one invalidates every artifact already signed, so give the payload a version, keep a path that verifies the older form, and add a test that verifies an artifact signed before your change.
-
-## Removing a serving path
-
-When a fix removes a path that used to serve content, the same PR must add a test asserting the removed path now denies. The deletion is what turns that test green; without it the path can quietly come back.
-
-## Database migrations
-
-Schema changes are code-defined in `MIGRATIONS` (`crates/gitlawb-node/src/db/mod.rs`). Always append a new versioned entry; never edit an entry that has merged (operators deploy from main). Test runs build the schema from scratch, so editing an applied version stays green in CI while breaking every existing deployment.
-
-## Client behavior (`gl`, `git-remote-gitlawb`)
-
-When a node denies a request, surface the denial to the user. Never render a denial as an empty list or a silent success; that turns an authorization boundary into invisible data loss.
-
-## Toolchain and CI reality
-
-- MSRV is Rust 1.91 (`rust-version` in the workspace `Cargo.toml`). The MSRV CI job runs `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` on exactly 1.91, so check that an API you rely on is stable there; the full test suite runs on stable.
-- The PR workflow runs these jobs on every PR: `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace` (against Postgres), a release build, `cargo audit`, the MSRV check, and a Docker build. The `main` branch ruleset currently requires one approving review but does not require these checks to pass before merge; a failing job should block review approval in practice, but nothing enforces that mechanically today.
-- Conventional commit titles (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, ...) are required by convention and drive releases, but no CI job checks them; a bad title fails review, not the pipeline.

 Known limitations:
 
-- Repository write authorization is not secure by default: `GITLAWB_ENFORCE_OWNER_PUSH` defaults to `false` for compatibility, so a valid HTTP Signature identifies a pusher but does not enforce owner-only pushes.
-- UCAN proof chains are validated when supplied, but UCAN capabilities are not consulted by write authorization and the root issuer is not independently trust-anchored. UCANs therefore do not yet grant scoped collaborator access.
-- Agent lifecycle revocation is not enforced by HTTP Signature authorization; do not rely on removing or revoking an agent record to block a compromised signer.
-- Read visibility is not a blanket data-classification boundary: task, IPFS-pin, and Arweave-anchor listings are not repository-gated; withheld path names can be visible to a root reader; and later visibility changes cannot retract content already announced or externally anchored.

-off. Waits between attempts never run past the deadline either, so a single run

-same cap, clamp and deadline. The per-IP fanout brake can also stop a ladder well
-short of the 9 calls, so automatic resumption is not a guarantee of reaching the
-object.
-
-When a bound stops the ladder with a usable token in hand, the command prints the
-token and the invocation that continues from it before exiting nonzero:
-
-```txt
-resume from where this stopped: gl ipfs get bafkrei... --scan <token>
-```
-
-Run that to carry on from where the scan stopped. Re-running without `--scan`
-restarts at the first row, reproduces the same truncation and spends the node's

Staged rollout relaxes who may announce, not who owns a peer row. An unsigned announce may register a previously unseen peer, and it may refresh an existing row whose `http_url` is unchanged, but changing an existing peer's `http_url` requires an RFC 9421 signature from that peer's own DID and is refused with 403 otherwise.

Also bounds the withheld-blob classification walk (on both the upload-pack serve and receive-pack replication paths) and the push-side pin-candidate discovery (`rev-list` / `cat-file`), each reaped via process-group teardown at the deadline. On the path-scoped upload-pack path the classification walk and the pack serve share ONE deadline, so this value bounds their combined duration rather than granting each stage a full budget: a walk that consumes it leaves the serve nothing and the clone gets a 504. Serving large path-scoped repos may therefore need a higher value than they did when each stage was budgeted separately. Accepted range is 1 to 3153600000 (100 years), since the node derives deadlines from this value and a larger one cannot be represented. |

 | `GITLAWB_GIT_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT_SECS` | Max seconds the storage-acquisition phase (Tigris HEAD/GET, push advisory-lock) of a served git op may run before the request is shed with a 503, separate from the git-run timeout. The concurrency permit is released on expiry so a stalled backend cannot pin the pool. Default 30. |
-| `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_GIT_OPS` | Max concurrent served git READ ops (upload-pack and its `info/refs` advertisement) across all callers; over-cap sheds a 503 + Retry-After. Anonymous reads draw from this pool, so pair it with `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_READS_PER_CALLER`. Pushes and the receive-pack advertisement have their own pools, so a read flood cannot shed an authenticated push. Default 128. |
-| `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_GIT_PUSHES` | Max concurrent `git-receive-pack` POST operations, in a pool separate from the read pool. The anon receive-pack `info/refs` advertisement runs in a third pool of the same size, disjoint from both, so an advertisement flood cannot shed a push either. Two per-source push caps are derived from this value (`/8`, floor 1) and have no env var of their own. Over-cap sheds a 503 + Retry-After. Default 32. |
-| `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_READS_PER_CALLER` | Max concurrent read ops a single caller may hold, so one caller cannot monopolize the read pool. Keyed on the resolved source IP, never the DID, and only as granular as `GITLAWB_TRUSTED_PROXY`: left unset, a node behind an edge or NAT keys every caller on the edge IP and this collapses to one global cap. Default 16. |
-| `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_PIN_TASKS` | Max post-push pin loops (IPFS + Pinata) running concurrently across all repos. This caps how many loops RUN at once, not how much object-id list memory the node retains: on the local IPFS path a loop parked waiting for a permit still holds its full list. Do not size memory from this knob alone. A loop over cap waits, never drops a pin. Default 8. |
-| `GITLAWB_REPO_LEASE_MAX_WAITERS` | Max pushes parked at once waiting for the same repo's write lease. Each waiter pins its buffered pack body, so this bounds that memory for a hot repo; past the cap the newest push sheds a 503 + Retry-After instead of queueing. Pushes to other repos are unaffected, and the lease holder is not counted. Default 8. |
 | `GITLAWB_MAX_CONCURRENT_IPFS_WALKS` | Max concurrent `GET /ipfs/{cid}` visibility walks across all callers (own pool, disjoint from the served-git pools); over-cap sheds 503. Default 32. |
 | `GITLAWB_IPFS_WALK_PER_SOURCE` | Max concurrent `/ipfs` walks a single source IP may hold. Default 4. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_MAX_LEGACY_PROBES` | Max legacy (NULL-provenance) repos probed per `/ipfs/{cid}` request, bounding the scan-fallback fan-out. A truncated scan returns a retryable 503, not a false 404. Default 256. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_MAX_LEGACY_SCAN_ROWS` | Max repo rows one `/ipfs/{cid}` request's legacy scan may read from the database. The probe ceiling above only starts counting once a probe runs, and quarantined or private repos are denied before that, so this is what bounds a scan over an inventory that denies the caller everywhere. A truncated scan sheds a retryable 503 carrying an opaque `continuation` token; echoing it as `?scan=` resumes the scan where it stopped. Every per-request ceiling on this path (rows, probes, visits, retained rule bytes) mints one, so each request advances the ladder by at least the rows it read and a holder buried past a ceiling is reached in a bounded number of requests, `ceil(repos / ceiling) + 1` when this row ceiling is the one that binds. No ceiling ever produces a 404. Every page is charged to the caller's `/ipfs` work allowance, so raising this raises that allowance too. Lowering it sharpens an oracle: because a truncation emits a token and a completed wrap does not, laddering to the end reveals the node's total repo count (private and quarantined included) to within one ceiling. Default 2048. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_MAX_REPOS_WALKED` | Max expensive path-scope visibility walks a `/ipfs/{cid}` request may run per phase; over-cap repos are skipped and the scan continues, shedding a retryable 503 (not a false 404) if the object is then found nowhere. The effective cap is the tighter of this knob and the node's internal history-walk ceiling of 17 (`MAX_PIN_SOURCES + 1`), so a value above 17 has no effect while a value below it does tighten the cap. It is charged per phase: the provenance lookup and the legacy-scan fallback get separate equal budgets, so one request can run up to twice the cap in total. Default 64. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_MAX_REPO_VISITS` | Ceiling on repos one `/ipfs/{cid}` request may visit (acquire + probe) past the visibility gate. Also the worst-case per-request Tigris fetch count. On exhaustion the scan stops with a retryable 503. Default 1024. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_REQUEST_BUDGET_SECS` | Absolute wall-clock budget for one admitted `/ipfs/{cid}` request's acquire+walk lifetime. Per-stage clamps bound the acquire and walk stages to the remaining budget, and no stage starts once it is exhausted; the scan then stops with a retryable 503. The object-type probe and content-read `cat-file` subprocesses are budget-checked before starting and each also run under their own deadline (the lesser of `GITLAWB_GIT_SERVICE_TIMEOUT_SECS` and the remaining budget), reaped via process-group teardown, so a hung `cat-file` cannot hold the request's walk slot past it. One hang path is still unbounded: the probe's object-store readability check is a plain filesystem sweep with nothing to reap, so a wedged filesystem can hold the slot past the deadline. Default 600. Accepted range is 1 to 3153600000 (100 years), since the node derives a deadline from this value and a larger one cannot be represented. |
-| `GITLAWB_IPFS_RESOLVE_BUDGET_SECS` | Shorter budget for the pre-walk CID resolve inside an admitted `/ipfs/{cid}` request: the lookup that maps the requested CID to its git oid(s), which runs while the scarce walk admission is already held. A well-formed CID with no pin row does no probe and no walk work, so without this it could hold a walk slot for the whole request budget while nothing walked, and enough such requests shed every real retrieval at admission. The effective deadline is the lesser of this and the remaining request budget, so a value above `GITLAWB_IPFS_REQUEST_BUDGET_SECS` degrades to the request budget. Only the resolve is on this clock; walk and probe work stay on the request budget, so a slow but progressing scan is never shed by it. Default 10. Accepted range is 1 to 3153600000 (100 years). |
+| `GITLAWB_IPFS_MAX_REPOS_WALKED` | Max legacy (NULL-provenance) repos probed per `/ipfs/{cid}` request, bounding the scan-fallback fan-out. A truncated scan returns a retryable 503, not a false 404. Default 256. |
 | `GITLAWB_IPFS_RATE_LIMIT` | Max `/ipfs/{cid}` requests per client IP per hour (route flood brake). 0 disables. Default 600. |

-These are documented limitations of the current live release. They should be prioritized without breaking existing nodes during rolling upgrades.
+These are **documented, accepted limitations** for the current live release and should be prioritized without breaking existing nodes during rolling upgrades.
 
-### Repository write authorization defaults
-- `git-receive-pack` verifies HTTP Signatures, but `GITLAWB_ENFORCE_OWNER_PUSH` defaults to `false` for compatibility during rollout.
-- **Impact:** With the default setting, a valid signature authenticates the pusher but does not require that DID to be the repository owner.
-- **Mitigation:** Set `GITLAWB_ENFORCE_OWNER_PUSH=true` on nodes where owner-only pushes are required. Confirm that every legitimate pusher uses the owner DID before enabling it.
+### UCAN chain validation
+- The auth middleware verifies HTTP Signatures and token structure, but does not yet walk the full UCAN delegation chain.
+- **Impact:** A node cannot yet enforce fine-grained capability delegation. Currently, any registered agent with a valid HTTP Signature can push.
+- **Mitigation:** Keep write endpoints signed, treat public nodes as public infrastructure, and treat trust scores as soft rate-limiting signals rather than authorization.
+- **Fix target:** v0.2
 
-### UCAN delegation and revocation
-- The middleware validates a supplied UCAN's complete proof chain, but a root token is accepted without an independently trusted issuer anchor. `Ucan::can` is not yet used by write handlers, so a UCAN does not grant scoped repository access.
-- Agent lifecycle revocation is not checked by HTTP Signature authorization. Removing or revoking an agent record does not itself block a compromised DID from authenticating.
-- **Impact:** Do not use UCANs for collaborator permissions or rely on agent-record revocation as a key-compromise response.
-- **Mitigation:** Keep sensitive deployments behind operational network controls and enable owner-only push enforcement where it fits the deployment until trusted delegation and authorization-aware revocation are implemented.
+### UCAN revocation
+- Issued UCAN tokens cannot be revoked before expiry.
+- **Impact:** If a keypair is compromised, the attacker retains access until the UCAN expires (default: 30 days).
+- **Mitigation:** Regenerate your identity (`gl identity new --force`) and re-register to issue a new UCAN. Until revocation/blocklisting is implemented, operators should remove compromised DIDs directly from their local database.
+- **Fix target:** v0.2

 - The `git-receive-pack` endpoint enforces HTTP Signature auth. Plain Git smart-HTTP clients do not generate those headers, so the `git-remote-gitlawb` helper is required for pushes.

 - **Fix target:** v0.2
 
 ### Private repository reads
-- Repository and path-scoped visibility checks are enforced for repository API and Git content reads. A denied whole-repository or root read returns the same 404 shape as a missing repository, so the denial does not reveal private-repository existence.
-- Sparse-clone support exposes withheld path globs to callers who may read the repository root. Do not put sensitive information in withheld path names.
-- `GET /api/v1/tasks`, `/api/v1/ipfs/pins`, and `/api/v1/arweave/anchors` are not repository-gated. Task records include a UCAN token; pin and anchor listings expose object and ref metadata.
-- Changing a repository's visibility controls future serving, but cannot retract ref metadata or configured external pins and anchors already announced while the repository was public. Do not push secrets to an announceable repository.
-- **Impact:** Visibility policies protect the repository and Git content routes they gate, not every metadata endpoint or previously published content.
-- **Remaining boundary:** This read control does not address the independent write-authorization and UCAN-delegation limitations described above.
-
-### Pull-request review enforcement
-- Pull-request review comments are not yet threaded or line-anchored, and merges do not enforce required approvals.
-- **Impact:** Teams must use their own review policy or external controls for merge approval requirements.
-
-### GraphQL mutation coverage
-- Existing GraphQL mutations require an authenticated signer, but a mutation-specific source-level guardrail has not yet been added for future mutations.
-- **Impact:** A new mutation could accidentally omit its signer check without an explicit test fence.
+- Repository records have an `is_public` field and the node exposes `GITLAWB_PUBLIC_READ`, but per-repository private-read enforcement is not wired in the current live release.
+- **Impact:** Do not store private repositories or secrets on public nodes.
+- **Mitigation:** Run isolated nodes for non-public data and restrict network access at the reverse proxy or firewall layer.
+- **Fix target:** v0.2

-//! Redirect policy shared by every gitlawb HTTP client that signs its requests.
-//!
-//! Both `gl` (async) and `git-remote-gitlawb` (blocking) attach RFC 9421
-//! `Signature` and `Signature-Input` headers, and reqwest strips only
-//! `Authorization`, `Cookie`, `Proxy-Authorization` and `WWW-Authenticate` when a
-//! redirect crosses hosts. A signature would survive that hop, and it binds
-//! `@method`, `@path` and `content-digest` with no authority component, so a node
-//! answering 302 could hand a working credential to a host of its choosing and read
-//! as the caller anywhere until the clock-skew window closes. On a 307/308 the
-//! request body goes along with it, which for the remote helper is the pack.
-//!
-//! That same missing authority component is why the predicate also pins the
-//! request-target: `@path` is signed as the client sent it and verified as the node
-//! received it, so a same-origin hop that rewrites the path or the query (a
-//! trailing-slash or query normalization) makes the signature cover a target the
-//! node never saw and the read 401s. Only a hop that re-issues the identical target,
-//! an http-to-https upgrade being the one that matters in practice, is followed.
-//!
-//! The decision lives here rather than in either client because the two used to
-//! disagree: `gl` was scoped to the origin while the remote helper, the binary that
-//! actually runs `git clone gitlawb://`, still ran reqwest's default and followed
-//! anywhere. One predicate is what keeps a future third client from repeating that.
-//!
-//! The type is `url::Url`, which is what `reqwest::Url` re-exports, so both clients
-//! pass their attempt URLs straight in.
-
-/// Longest redirect chain followed. `reqwest::redirect::Policy::custom` replaces
-/// reqwest's built-in limit, so the bound has to be restated by every client that
-/// installs a custom policy; the value is reqwest's own default.
-///
-/// This counts FOLLOWS, matching `Policy::limited`: reqwest pushes the redirecting
-/// URL onto `previous` before consulting the policy, and `Limit(max)` refuses once
-/// `previous.len() > max`, so a caller comparing against this constant must use `>`
-/// too or it permits one hop fewer than it says.
-pub const MAX_REDIRECTS: usize = 10;
-
-/// Follow a redirect only when it stays on the origin that issued it AND re-issues
-/// the identical request-target.
-///
-/// `Policy::none()` would have been the simpler answer, but one same-origin redirect
-/// shape is legitimate here: a node fronted by a proxy that upgrades http to https,
-/// or otherwise re-issues the same path and query, so the policy is scoped rather
-/// than switched off.
-///
-/// Path and query must match exactly, and that is the request-target clause rather
-/// than an origin one. `@path` is signed as the client sent it and verified as the
-/// node received it, so a hop that rewrites either half leaves a signature covering
-/// a target nobody asked for and the node answers 401. Refusing the hop turns a
-/// confusing 401 into the 3xx that names what actually happened. One policy covers
-/// signed and unsigned callers alike, for the same reason the predicate is shared:
-/// two rules would drift.
-///
-/// The clause pins `@path`, and only `@path`. A gitlawb signature also covers
-/// `@method` and `content-digest`, and both of those are still open on a followed
-/// hop: on a 301, 302 or 303, reqwest 0.12.28 delegates to tower-http's
-/// `FollowRedirect`, which rewrites a POST to a GET and empties the body
-/// (tower-http-0.6.8 `src/follow_redirect/mod.rs:273-285`), while its
-/// `drop_payload_headers` removes only `Content-Type`, `Content-Length`,
-/// `Content-Encoding` and `Transfer-Encoding`. So `Signature`, `Signature-Input` and
-/// `Content-Digest` ride along on a request that no longer has the method or the body
-/// they were computed over. Only 307 and 308 preserve both. This predicate returning
-/// true therefore makes a GET-shaped hop safe to replay against the node's verifier
-/// and says nothing about a bodied one: a signed write must not rely on it alone.
-///
-/// `Url::query` is `None` for `/a` and `Some("")` for `/a?`, and those are two
-/// different request-targets on the node side too, so the comparison is strict and
-/// needs no special case.
-///
-/// Host and port must match exactly. Port is compared as `Url::port`, which is
-/// `None` for a scheme's default port, so http -> https on the same host compares
-/// equal while http -> http on a different port does not. A downgrade from https to
-/// http is refused as well: the target is the same host, but the signature would go
-/// out in cleartext, which is the same credential leak by a slower route.
-///
-/// Host comparison rides on `url`'s parse-time normalization (lowercasing and IDN
-/// -> punycode), so the spellings an attacker reaches for do not open a gap. That
-/// is a property of the parsed `Url`, not of this function, which is why the test

-//! Sealed continuation token for the node's bounded legacy CID scan (INV-13).
-//!
-//! The `/ipfs/{cid}` resolver's legacy scan stops at a row ceiling and sheds a
-//! retryable 503. To let a holder buried past that ceiling still be reached, the
-//! shed carries the scan position so the caller can echo it back and resume. The
-//! whole point of the design is that the node keeps NO server-side scan state: the
-//! position rides in the caller's token.
-//!
-//! That makes the token an EMITTED continuation derived from a FETCHED row, and on
-//! a scan that served nothing every fetched row is by construction a private or
-//! quarantined repo the caller may not read. The row's `created_at` leaks its
-//! creation time and its `id` carries the owner's DID, so both halves are withheld
-//! fields and the token must be CONFIDENTIAL, not merely tamper-evident:
-//!
-//!   * AEAD-sealed (XChaCha20-Poly1305), never base64-of-plaintext and never
-//!     signed plaintext. Integrity is not confidentiality.
-//!   * A fresh `OsRng` nonce on EVERY seal. Under a stream cipher a repeated nonce
-//!     means repeated keystream, and an attacker who can force the node to seal a
-//!     position whose plaintext they know XORs two tokens and recovers a withheld
-//!     row's fields in full, strictly worse than emitting plaintext.
-//!   * FIXED-WIDTH plaintext. AEAD ciphertext is plaintext-length plus the tag, and
-//!     every field of a scan position varies in length, so a variable encoding would
-//!     make token LENGTH a side channel for the sealed row (a short name under a
-//!     short owner vs a long one) and for the candidate oid's width (40 hex on a
-//!     sha1 repo, 64 on a sha256 one). Every token this module mints is byte-identical
-//!     in length. Each field is padded to its own separate width, which is a per-field
-//!     constant and so still leaks nothing about a given row or candidate.
-//!   * The canonical CID as associated data, so a token minted while scanning for
-//!     one CID does not authenticate when replayed against another.
-//!
-//! Every failure to open (wrong key, tampered bytes, wrong CID, expired, malformed)
-//! returns the same `None`. The caller treats that as "no token" and starts at the
-//! front, so no failure class is distinguishable and the token is no oracle.

-//! Tripwire: a committed negative case that locks the blackhole mechanism.
-//!
-//! The guard against non-loopback egress works because `obtain_proof` builds a
-//! stock `reqwest::blocking::Client` that inherits the process's proxy env vars.
-//! If the builder later gains `.no_proxy()` or a custom connector, the guard
-//! disarms silently and every existing test stays green (no live call is made
-//! during the normal mock-consumed run because the mock is on loopback and
-//! `NO_PROXY` covers it — the blackhole isn't even exercised).
-//!
-//! This test asserts that a destination the blackhole's `NO_PROXY` does NOT
-//! cover fails *while the blackhole is armed*.  The destination is a local HTTP
-//! server on `[::1]` (IPv6 loopback), which `NO_PROXY` (`127.0.0.1, localhost`)
-//! does not list.  With the blackhole active the proxy intercepts the
-//! connection and blocks it; without the blackhole the request would reach the
-//! server directly and succeed, turning this test RED.
-//!
-//! A positive control (disarmed blackhole) runs first, proving the fixture is
-//! valid and `[::1]` is reachable.
-//!
-//! Design constraints (see issue #211):
-//!   - An unresolvable host would keep the request failing even when the guard
-//!     is disarmed (DNS failure masquerading as the blackhole), so we must use
-//!     a reachable address.
-//!   - A real external host would make a live network call the moment the guard
-//!     disarms, and on any runner that cannot reach that host the connect error
-//!     again masquerades as the blackhole.  A local loopback address avoids both
-//!     problems — it is always reachable when unblocked and never reaches the
-//!     real network.
-//!   - The address must NOT be covered by `NO_PROXY`, yet must exist on every
-//!     platform.  An arbitrary `127/8` alias is not portable: macOS only binds
-//!     `127.0.0.1` by default.  `[::1]` (IPv6 loopback) is present by default
-//!     on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and `NO_PROXY` only lists `127.0.0.1` and
-//!     `localhost`, so the blackhole still intercepts it.
-//!   - This depends on hyper-util's proxy matcher having no implicit loopback
-//!     bypass — a host is only proxied-around when literally listed in
-//!     `NO_PROXY` (verified in the pinned hyper-util; recheck on upgrade).

-//! INV-19 guard: the icaptcha flow must actually call the service (consuming the

-//! `obtain_proof` skip the network (e.g. a stray `cfg(test)` relaxation, which
-//! INV-19/INV-20 warn is inert across crates), the `.assert()` calls below go
-//! RED because the mocked endpoints were never hit.
-//!
-//! The mock-consumed assertions alone only prove the mock was hit; they cannot
-//! see a request that ALSO leaks the DID / answer / API key to `DEFAULT_URL` or
-//! any other origin (a different host the mock never observes). To make the
-//! "no live call" half of the guard load-bearing, the test blackholes every
-//! non-loopback destination via a proxy observer: `NO_PROXY` lets the loopback
-//! mock through while every proxy variable routes any other host through a TCP
-//! listener that counts connections.  Zero observed connections proves no leak
-//! reached the network on the exercised path.
-//!
-//! The observer design counts every accepted connection regardless of whether
-//! the caller propagates the transport error, so it catches leaks that a
-//! closed-port blackhole (which only surfaces propagating errors) would miss.
-//! To close the timing race inherent in a detached accept loop, the count is
-//! read only after a bounded drain: the test opens a flush connection and
-//! blocks until the accept thread has accepted *that specific connection*
-//! (tagged by its source port), not merely until any next counter tick.
-//! Because `accept()` hands out connections FIFO, every leak connection that
-//! completed its TCP handshake before the flush is counted before the flush —
-//! the assertion therefore covers all egress in flight when `obtain_proof`
-//! returned.  A leak that starts its handshake after the drain is outside the
-//! window; that is the irreducible limit of observing a detached accept loop,
-//! and it is the remaining, well-defined gap this guard accepts.
-//!
-//! SCOPE: The observer only witnesses leaks issued on the path this test drives
-//! (a single passing round, 200 on both endpoints, no PoW, no Continue/Failed,
-//! no non-2xx response).  A leak living on an error or retry branch makes no
-//! connection during the run and the zero-count assertion stays green.  The
-//! guarantee covers only the exercised happy path and proxy-honoring transports;
-//! a future `.no_proxy()` or raw `TcpStream` bypasses the observer entirely.
-//!
-//! `ALL_PROXY` alone is NOT enough: reqwest honors the scheme-specific
-//! `HTTPS_PROXY` / `https_proxy` (and the http equivalents) OVER `ALL_PROXY`, so
-//! a runner with a working `HTTPS_PROXY` in its environment would route an https
-//! leak to `DEFAULT_URL` (which is https) through that proxy while the loopback
-//! mock is still consumed and this test stayed green.  So we blackhole the
-//! scheme-specific variables too.

-**Run `terraform apply` before the upgrade command.** The command is an SSM

-- **`compose.yaml` is Terraform-owned and is overwritten on every upgrade.**
-  Per-instance settings belong in `/opt/gitlawb/.env`, which is never touched.
-- **The upgrade reconciles the service set, not just the image.** The rendering is
-  conditional — `postgres` exists only when `db_host` is empty, `caddy` only when

-`/opt/gitlawb/.env` and restarting leaves the node on its built-in default, with
-no error to indicate it. `pull && up -d` alone cannot fix that, because the file
-on disk is the authoritative one.
-

-`GITLAWB_ENFORCE_OWNER_PUSH` on an instance created before it was added, for

-variables its `environment:` block lists, so the value is read from `.env` and
-then dropped. Run `apply` plus `upgrade_command` first, which installs a compose
-file that names the key; after that, `.env` governs it like any other.
