From the full-repo CodeRabbit review (#4).

  • +page.svelte: the load $effect tracked endpoint/cacheName/token through the synchronous part of testConnection(), so each keystroke re-read localStorage, reverted the input and fired a request. Saved settings now load once in onMount.
  • extractStoreHash returns '' for input that isn't a store path or hash, so the 400 branch is reachable and junk never reaches the URL; the cache name is encodeURIComponented.
  • The bearer token is only sent over https: or to loopback.

Tests: npm run check (0 errors, 0 warnings), npm run build OK. Node smoke test of attic-api.ts with a stubbed fetch: foo and ../x give '' (400 without a request); http://evil.example gets no Authorization header and sys tem is encoded to sys%20tem; https://cache.kleinbem.dev and http://localhost:8080 keep the token.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cache names containing special characters are now handled correctly in requests.
    • Authentication tokens are sent only to eligible secure or local endpoints, and are not sent to the public Nix cache.
    • Unrecognised input is no longer treated as a Nix store hash.
    • Connection checks now show clearer details when authentication is withheld, and outdated results no longer replace the latest status.
  • Improvements
    • Connection status updates automatically after endpoint, cache name or token changes.

…http

The load effect tracked endpoint/cacheName/token through testConnection(),
so every keystroke re-read localStorage and reverted the input; load once
in onMount instead. extractStoreHash now rejects non-hash input, the cache
name is URL-encoded, and the bearer token is only sent over https or to
loopback.

Walkthrough

Cache requests now encode cache names and withhold tokens for non-HTTPS, non-loopback endpoints. The page runs connection checks on mount and after settings changes, and prevents results from superseded checks from being applied.

Changes: Cache requests and connection checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache request construction and authentication
src/lib/attic-api.ts
extractStoreHash returns an empty string when no hash is found. queryCacheInfo and fetchNarInfo encode cacheName and use shared endpoint-aware authorization headers. A 401 response reports when the token was withheld.
Connection check lifecycle
src/routes/+page.svelte
The page initializes on mount. Connection checks track newer runs and select the 401 detail based on token withholding. Changes to the endpoint, cache name, or token reset the status and schedule a check after 600 ms.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 0269b

After changing connection settings, the page can briefly show a result for the previous settings. This bounded issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 0269b

Plain-HTTP token protection improves, but automatic connection checks reuse the existing token while the server URL is being edited. A pause on an unintended but valid HTTPS hostname can send that credential before the user explicitly tests the new destination. Exploitation requires user interaction and control of that destination.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new draft-preserving settings lifecycle automatically probes edited endpoints with the existing bearer token after 600 ms. The shared gate checks transport security, not whether the credential belongs to that destination. An intermediate valid HTTPS hostname can therefore receive the token during editing, without an explicit connection-test action. The base reloaded saved settings before its reactive check; preserving drafts and automatically probing them creates the additional unintended-recipient path.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The unintended-recipient path exposes the bearer token currently held by this browser session. An attacker would need control of an HTTPS hostname reached during editing and permissive CORS responses where required. Subsequent service or data access depends on the stolen token's permissions, which are not established by the inspected source.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — With a token already populated, a user edits the server URL and pauses on a valid intermediate HTTPS hostname. The delayed check uses that hostname and the unchanged token; authHeaders permits transmission because HTTPS satisfies its destination policy. This path does not require clicking Test Connection. It is distinct from knowingly configuring a server to receive a token.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The shared control classifies the initiating endpoint's scheme and hostname; it does not associate credentials with an approved origin. Both requests retain default fetch redirect handling, as in the base. No introduced redirect bypass was established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Request arguments preserve the initiating settings tuple, but result ownership is weaker: connection generations advance only when another test starts, not when settings change, and inspector completions have no settings-generation guard. These limitations affect displayed state rather than the headers of an issued request. Unguarded inspector completion already existed in the base and is not retained as a new PR concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate draft endpoint edits from credential-bearing connection settings. Require explicit destination confirmation before sending an existing token to a changed origin, or keep automatic checks unauthenticated until the endpoint/token association is confirmed. Retain the shared transport-security gate.

Review comments at @src/lib/attic-api.ts:
- Line 82: Update authHeaders and the error reporting in both request functions
so that, when a configured token is withheld for a remote HTTP endpoint, the
unauthenticated request still proceeds and the resulting 401 explains that the
token was not sent over HTTP and HTTPS is required. Preserve the existing
token-required message when no token is configured.

Review comments at @src/routes/+page.svelte:
- Line 79: Update the connection-settings flow initialized in onMount to clear
the displayed status whenever settings change, and ensure a connection-test
result is applied only if it was started for the current settings; discard
results from tests started before an edit.

CodeRabbit on #5: a 401 from an http endpoint claimed a token was
missing although it was only withheld; the message now says to use
https. Editing the connection settings resets the status and retests
after a short pause; results of older tests are dropped.

Follow-up to #5 (CodeRabbit's reply on the settings-change thread there,
posted after the merge): a test started for the old settings could
finish within the 600 ms retest window and still set the status. The
settings-change effect now bumps the run counter, so `testConnection`
discards that result.

Tests: `npm run check` 0 errors, 0 warnings.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Connection test results are now discarded if the endpoint, cache name
or token changes while a test is in progress. This prevents results from
an earlier configuration from being shown after settings have been
updated, keeping the displayed test outcome aligned with the current
connection details.
