Summary

Adds username and hostname support to sessions, enabling standard IRC hostmask format (nick!user@host) for WHOIS, WHO, and future +b ban matching.

closes #81

Changes

Schema (`001_initial.sql`)

Added username TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' and hostname TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' columns to the sessions table

Database layer (`internal/db/`)

CreateSession now accepts username and hostname parameters; username defaults to nick if empty
RegisterUser now accepts username and hostname parameters
New SessionHostInfo type and GetSessionHostInfo query to retrieve username/hostname for a session
MemberInfo now includes Username and Hostname fields
ChannelMembers query updated to return username/hostname
New FormatHostmask(nick, username, hostname) helper that produces nick!user@host format
New Hostmask() method on MemberInfo

Handler layer (`internal/handlers/`)

Session creation (POST /api/v1/session) accepts optional username field; resolves hostname via reverse DNS of connecting client IP (respects X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers)
Registration (POST /api/v1/register) accepts optional username field with the same hostname resolution
Username validation regex: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\[\]\\^{}| + "`" + ]{1,32}$
WHOIS (311 RPL_WHOISUSER) now returns the real username and hostname instead of nick/servername
WHO (352 RPL_WHOREPLY) now returns the real username and hostname instead of nick/servername
Extracted validateHashcash and resolveUsername helpers to keep functions under the linter's funlen limit
Extracted executeRegister helper for the same reason
Reverse DNS uses (*net.Resolver).LookupAddr with a 3-second timeout context

Tests

TestCreateSessionWithUserHost — verifies username/hostname are stored and retrievable
TestCreateSessionDefaultUsername — verifies empty username defaults to nick
TestGetSessionHostInfoNotFound — verifies error on nonexistent session
TestFormatHostmask — verifies nick!user@host formatting
TestFormatHostmaskDefaults — verifies fallback when username/hostname empty
TestMemberInfoHostmask — verifies Hostmask() method on MemberInfo
TestChannelMembersIncludeUserHost — verifies ChannelMembers returns username/hostname
TestRegisterUserWithUserHost — verifies registration stores username/hostname
TestRegisterUserDefaultUsername — verifies registration defaults username to nick
TestWhoisShowsHostInfo — integration test verifying WHOIS returns the correct username
TestWhoShowsHostInfo — integration test verifying WHO returns the correct username
TestSessionUsernameDefault — integration test verifying default username in WHOIS
All existing tests updated for new CreateSession/RegisterUser signatures

README

New "Hostmask" section documenting the nick!user@host format
Updated session creation and registration API docs with the new username field
Updated WHOIS/WHO numeric examples to show real username/hostname
Updated sessions schema table with new columns

Docker build

docker build . passes cleanly (lint, format, tests, build).

Rework Summary

Addressed sneak's feedback to add IP tracking to sessions and IP+hostname tracking to each client connection.

Changes

Schema (001_initial.sql):

Added ip TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' to sessions table
Added ip TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' and hostname TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' to clients table

DB layer:

CreateSession now accepts remoteIP parameter, stores it in both the session and the initial client record
RegisterUser now accepts remoteIP parameter, same storage pattern
LoginUser now accepts remoteIP and hostname parameters, stores them in the new client record
Added ClientHostInfo struct and GetClientHostInfo() query method
Updated SessionHostInfo to include IP field

Handler layer:

handleCreateSession → extracted executeCreateSession (also fixes funlen lint), passes clientIP(request) as remoteIP
executeRegister → passes clientIP(request) as remoteIP
handleLogin → resolves hostname for the login client, passes IP + hostname to LoginUser

Tests:

TestCreateSessionStoresIP — verifies session and client both get the IP
TestGetClientHostInfoNotFound — error path for nonexistent client
TestLoginUserStoresClientIPHostname — verifies login creates client with correct IP/hostname
TestRegisterUserStoresSessionIP — verifies registered session gets IP

README: Updated identity section to document session ip field and per-client IP/hostname tracking.

Verification

make fmt ✅
make lint ✅ (all lint issues resolved)
make test ✅ (all tests pass)
docker build . ✅

Review: FAIL

Build

docker build . passes cleanly — lint, format, tests, build all green.

What's Done Well

Schema — sessions table has username, hostname, ip columns; clients table has ip, hostname columns. All correct in 001_initial.sql.
Session creation — handleCreateSession → executeCreateSession correctly extracts real client IP via clientIP() (checks X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, then RemoteAddr), resolves hostname via rDNS with 3s timeout, stores both on session and initial client.
Registration — handleRegister → executeRegister follows the same pattern. Session gets IP; initial client gets IP + hostname.
Login — handleLogin correctly resolves IP + hostname for the new client connection.
WHOIS — executeWhois looks up SessionHostInfo and uses real username/hostname in 311 RPL_WHOISUSER params. Falls back to nick/servername when empty.
WHO — handleWho uses MemberInfo.Username/Hostname in 352 RPL_WHOREPLY params with correct fallback logic.
Hostmask — FormatHostmask() and MemberInfo.Hostmask() produce correct nick!user@host format.
Tests — Good coverage: TestCreateSessionStoresIP, TestLoginUserStoresClientIPHostname, TestRegisterUserStoresSessionIP, TestWhoisShowsHostInfo, TestWhoShowsHostInfo, TestSessionUsernameDefault, TestChannelMembersIncludeUserHost, hostmask tests, error path tests.
README — Updated with hostmask docs, session/register API changes, WHOIS/WHO examples, schema table.

Failing Issue

NAMES does not show username/hostname — Issue #81 explicitly says:

"this needs to show in /whois and /names etc"

Neither handleNames (explicit /NAMES command, ~line 2044) nor deliverNamesNumerics (JOIN-triggered NAMES, ~line 1465) was updated. Both still output plain nicks only:

for _, mem := range members {
    nicks = append(nicks, mem.Nick)
}

The ChannelMembers query was correctly updated to return Username and Hostname, but the NAMES reply doesn't use them. The data is available but not exposed.

The 353 RPL_NAMREPLY body should include hostmask info (e.g. nick!user@host format, similar to IRCv3 userhost-in-names). The README's NAMES example also still shows plain nicks, consistent with the code gap.

No test exists for NAMES showing username/hostname.

Required Fix

Update both handleNames and deliverNamesNumerics to include username/hostname in the NAMES reply body (e.g. nick!user@host format with mode prefix where applicable).
Update README 353 example to reflect the new format.
Add integration test(s) verifying NAMES returns hostmask data.

Verdict

FAIL — The issue explicitly names /names as a required output surface for username/hostname, and it was not implemented. Everything else is solid.

## Review: FAIL ### Build `docker build .` passes cleanly — lint, format, tests, build all green. ### What's Done Well 1. **Schema** — `sessions` table has `username`, `hostname`, `ip` columns; `clients` table has `ip`, `hostname` columns. All correct in `001_initial.sql`. 2. **Session creation** — `handleCreateSession` → `executeCreateSession` correctly extracts real client IP via `clientIP()` (checks `X-Forwarded-For`, `X-Real-IP`, then `RemoteAddr`), resolves hostname via rDNS with 3s timeout, stores both on session and initial client. 3. **Registration** — `handleRegister` → `executeRegister` follows the same pattern.

Rework Summary

Fixed the NAMES handler to include hostmask data as identified in the review.

Changes

internal/handlers/api.go:

deliverNamesNumerics (JOIN-triggered NAMES): changed from mem.Nick to mem.Hostmask() so RPL_NAMREPLY body outputs nick!user@host format
handleNames (explicit /NAMES command): same change — now outputs nick!user@host in the NAMES reply body

README.md:

Updated 353 RPL_NAMREPLY example to show hostmask format instead of plain nicks

internal/handlers/api_test.go:

TestNamesShowsHostmask — integration test: creates a session with known username, issues explicit NAMES command, verifies the 353 reply body contains nick!user@host format
TestNamesOnJoinShowsHostmask — integration test: verifies that the NAMES reply delivered on JOIN (via deliverNamesNumerics) also includes hostmask data
setupChannelWithIdentMember — shared helper extracted to avoid dupl lint violation
assertNamesHostmask — assertion helper that checks 353 body for expected hostmask prefix

Verification

make fmt-check ✅
make lint ✅
make test ✅ (all tests pass including both new NAMES hostmask tests)
docker build . ✅

Checklist

Requirement	Status	Notes
NAMES uses `nick!user@host` (JOIN-triggered `deliverNamesNumerics`)	✅	`mem.Hostmask()` correctly used
NAMES uses `nick!user@host` (explicit `handleNames`)	✅	Same pattern, both paths fixed
WHOIS (311) shows username + hostname	✅	`GetSessionHostInfo` lookup, falls back correctly
WHO (352) shows username + hostname	✅	Uses `mem.Username` / `mem.Hostname` from `MemberInfo`
Sessions table: `username`, `hostname`, `ip`	✅	Schema + `CreateSession` + `RegisterUser` all correct
Clients table: `ip`, `hostname`	✅	Schema + all 3 client-creation paths (session/register/login)
Integration tests for NAMES hostmask	✅	`TestNamesShowsHostmask` + `TestNamesOnJoinShowsHostmask` — meaningful assertions
README 353 example shows hostmask	✅	Updated to `nick!user@host` format
`docker build .` passes	✅	All tests pass, 63.8% handler coverage
REPO_POLICIES compliance	✅	No linter/config changes, no mocking, clean Go style

Code Quality Notes

Clean decomposition: clientIP(), resolveHostname(), resolveUsername(), validateHashcash(), FormatHostmask() are all well-separated utility functions
Hostmask() method on MemberInfo is the right pattern — keeps formatting logic centralized
DNS timeout bounded at 3s via context — prevents session creation from hanging on slow DNS
Proxy header handling correct: X-Forwarded-For → X-Real-IP → RemoteAddr
Login flow correctly stores IP/hostname on the new client without modifying the session's original values (matching the issue requirement: "reverse dns of the actual connecting client for the session creation initial client")
Tests are honest: no mocking, full integration test with real server + DB, assertions check actual hostmask format in 353 body

Minor Documentation Note

The README prose section correctly documents ip on sessions and ip/hostname on clients, but the Database Schema reference tables are missing these rows:

sessions table: ip column not in table
clients table: ip and hostname columns not in table

This is a minor inconsistency (prose is correct, table is incomplete). Not blocking.

Rework: oper-only client IP/hostname in WHOIS

Implemented per sneak's instructions — client-level IP/hostname is now only visible to server operators (o-line users) via WHOIS.

Changes

OPER command (new):

Added OPER command handler: authenticates against NEOIRC_OPER_NAME / NEOIRC_OPER_PASSWORD env vars
On success: sets is_oper flag on session, returns 381 RPL_YOUREOPER
On failure: returns 491 ERR_NOOPERHOST
Added is_oper column to sessions table in schema

Oper-aware WHOIS:

When a server oper does /whois, the response now includes 338 RPL_WHOISACTUALLY with the target's current client IP and hostname
Non-opers see no change — client IP/hostname remains hidden
313 RPL_WHOISOPERATOR is now sent when the WHOIS target is a server oper

LUSERS:

252 RPL_LUSEROP now reports the real oper count instead of hardcoded 0

README fixes:

Added ip and is_oper to sessions schema table
Added ip and hostname to clients schema table
Added OPER command documentation with C2S/S2C examples
Added 313, 338, 381, 491 to numeric reply tables
Updated WHOIS docs to describe oper-visible data
Added NEOIRC_OPER_NAME and NEOIRC_OPER_PASSWORD to configuration table

Tests (7 new):

TestOperCommandSuccess — successful OPER auth
TestOperCommandFailure — wrong password → 491
TestOperCommandNeedMoreParams — missing params → 461
TestOperWhoisShowsClientInfo — oper sees 338 with client IP
TestNonOperWhoisHidesClientInfo — non-oper does NOT see 338
TestWhoisShowsOperatorStatus — 313 shown when target is oper
TestOperNoOlineConfigured — OPER fails when no o-line configured
DB tests: TestSetAndCheckSessionOper, TestGetLatestClientForSession, TestGetOperCount

Code quality:

Refactored executeWhois into smaller helpers (whoisNotFound, deliverWhoisUser, deliverWhoisOperator) to stay under funlen limit

Review: PR #82 — Username/Hostname Support (post-rework #3)

Verdict: FAIL

Build

docker build . passes cleanly — lint, format, tests, build all green.

What's Done Well

OPER command — Clean implementation. Authenticates against NEOIRC_OPER_NAME / NEOIRC_OPER_PASSWORD env vars. Returns 381 RPL_YOUREOPER on success, 491 ERR_NOOPERHOST on failure (including when no o-line is configured), 461 ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS when args are missing. Correctly sets is_oper flag on the session via SetSessionOper.
Oper-aware WHOIS — deliverWhoisActually correctly checks IsSessionOper(ctx, querierSID) (the querier, not the target) before sending 338 RPL_WHOISACTUALLY with client IP and hostname. Non-opers see nothing extra. This is the correct o-line behavior.
RPL_WHOISOPERATOR (313) — deliverWhoisOperator correctly checks if the target is an oper and sends 313 to any querier (not just opers). This matches IRC spec: anyone can see that a user is an oper via WHOIS.
Schema — is_oper INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 added to sessions table. Clean.
DB layer — SetSessionOper, IsSessionOper, GetLatestClientForSession, GetOperCount all correct and well-tested.
LUSERS — 252 RPL_LUSEROP now shows real oper count from GetOperCount instead of hardcoded 0.
README — Comprehensive updates: OPER command section with C2S/S2C examples, 313/338/381/491 in numeric tables, NEOIRC_OPER_NAME/NEOIRC_OPER_PASSWORD in config table, is_oper in sessions schema table, ip+hostname in clients schema table, oper-visible WHOIS data documented.
Tests — 10 new tests covering all OPER paths: success, failure, missing params, no o-line configured, oper WHOIS shows 338, non-oper WHOIS hides 338, WHOIS shows 313 for oper target. Plus DB-level tests for SetAndCheckSessionOper, GetLatestClientForSession, GetOperCount. All honest — no mocking, no weakened assertions.
All previous requirements intact — WHOIS/WHO/NAMES with session hostmask still working correctly. No regressions.
REPO_POLICIES — .golangci.yml untouched, no linter config changes, no external dependency changes.

Blocking Issue

Misplaced function comment: handleAway comment now decorates handleOper (internal/handlers/api.go line 2796).

The handleOper function was inserted between the existing handleAway doc comment and the handleAway function definition:

// handleAway handles the AWAY command. An empty body
// clears the away status; a non-empty body sets it.
func (hdlr *Handlers) handleOper(  // ← WRONG: this is handleOper, not handleAway
    ...

Result:

handleOper (line 2798) has the wrong doc comment — it says "handles the AWAY command"
handleAway (line 2866) has no doc comment at all

sneak stated on this PR: "documentation and code being out of sync is always blocking". A function comment that describes a completely different function is exactly that.

Required Fix

Add a correct doc comment to handleOper (e.g. // handleOper handles the OPER command. Authenticates the session as a server operator (o-line) using configured credentials.)
Restore the handleAway doc comment above the actual handleAway function

Non-blocking Note

OPER password comparison uses != (line ~2834) rather than crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare. This is a minor timing-attack surface. Not blocking for this PR since IRC oper auth is typically plaintext comparison and the env-var approach limits exposure, but worth hardening in a follow-up.

Verdict

FAIL — One blocking issue: misplaced function comment creates doc/code mismatch. Everything else is solid. Simple fix.

Replace plain != string comparison with crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare

Rework: Timing-safe OPER credential comparison

Problem: The handleOper function used plain != string comparison for operator name and password, which is vulnerable to timing-based side-channel attacks.

Fix: Replaced both comparisons with crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare:

if cfgName == "" || cfgPass == "" ||
    subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(operName), []byte(cfgName)) != 1 ||
    subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(operPass), []byte(cfgPass)) != 1 {

Review: PR #82 — Username/Hostname Support (post-rework #5)

Verdict: PASS ✅

Rework #5 Verification

The only change in rework #5 (commit 427ee1e) is the timing-safe OPER credential comparison fix that sneak explicitly flagged:

Check	Status
`handleOper` uses `crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` for name	✅
`handleOper` uses `crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` for password	✅
`crypto/subtle` properly imported	✅
No scope creep (1 file, +3/-1 lines)	✅
`handleOper` doc comment correct	✅ (`// handleOper handles the OPER command for server operator authentication.`)
`handleAway` doc comment correct	✅ (`// handleAway handles the AWAY command...` on its own function)

Full Requirements Checklist

Requirement	Status
Sessions: `username`, `hostname`, `ip` columns	✅
Clients: `ip`, `hostname` columns	✅
WHOIS (311) shows session hostmask	✅
WHO (352) shows session hostmask	✅
NAMES (353) shows session hostmask	✅
OPER command with env-var auth	✅
OPER uses constant-time comparison	✅
338 RPL_WHOISACTUALLY (oper-only, client IP/hostname)	✅
313 RPL_WHOISOPERATOR for oper targets	✅
README up to date	✅
`.golangci.yml` untouched	✅
`docker build .` passes (lint + test + build)	✅

Code

if cfgName == "" || cfgPass == "" ||
    subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(operName), []byte(cfgName)) != 1 ||
    subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(operPass), []byte(cfgPass)) != 1 {

Both name and password are compared in constant time. Short-circuit on empty config is fine — it leaks no information about valid credentials (just that no o-line is configured, which is not secret).

No issues found. Clean fix for a real security concern.
