- Fix false claim 'clients never need to handle the token directly' —
CLI clients (curl, custom HTTP clients) must explicitly manage cookies
- Replace 'token' with 'cookie' in multi-client diagram (token_a → cookie_a)
- Fix Set-Cookie placeholders in protocol diagrams (<token> → <random_hex>/<cookie_a>/<cookie_b>)
- Fix 'old token' → 'old auth cookie' in QUIT command description
- Fix 'get token' → 'get auth cookie' in Client Development Guide
- Fix 'Tokens are hashed' → 'Cookie values are hashed' in Security Model
- Fix 'client tokens are deleted' → 'client auth cookies are invalidated'
- Fix 'Cookie sent automatically' → 'Cookie must be sent' in diagram
- Fix 'eliminates token management from client code entirely' rationale
- Fix 'No token appears in the JSON body' → 'No auth credential appears'
- Fix 'encoded in the token' → 'encoded in the cookie value'
- Fix 'Clients never handle tokens directly' in JWT comparison section
- Update clients table token column description for clarity
- All remaining 'token' refs verified as legitimate (pow_token/hashcash/JWT comparison/DB schema column name)
- Remove POST /api/v1/register endpoint entirely
- Session creation (POST /api/v1/session) now sets neoirc_auth HttpOnly
cookie instead of returning token in JSON body
- Login (POST /api/v1/login) now sets neoirc_auth HttpOnly cookie
instead of returning token in JSON body
- Add PASS IRC command for setting session password (enables multi-client
login via POST /api/v1/login)
- All per-request auth reads from neoirc_auth cookie instead of
Authorization: Bearer header
- Cookie properties: HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, Secure when behind TLS
- Logout and QUIT clear the auth cookie
- Update CORS to AllowCredentials:true with origin reflection
- Remove Authorization from CORS AllowedHeaders
- Update CLI client to use cookie jar (net/http/cookiejar)
- Remove Token field from SessionResponse
- Add SetPassword to DB layer, remove RegisterUser
- Comprehensive test updates for cookie-based auth
- Add tests: TestPassCommand, TestPassCommandShortPassword,
TestPassCommandEmpty, TestSessionCookie
- Update README extensively: auth model, API reference, curl examples,
security model, design principles, roadmap
closes#83
- Document POST /api/v1/logout endpoint
- Document GET /api/v1/users/me endpoint
- Add 'users' field to GET /api/v1/server response docs
- Fix config: SESSION_TIMEOUT -> SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT
- Update storage section: session expiry is implemented
- Update roadmap: move session expiry to implemented
- Remove dead SessionTimeout config field from Go code
Security:
- Add channel membership check before PRIVMSG (prevents non-members from sending)
- Add membership check on history endpoint (channels require membership, DMs scoped to own nick)
- Enforce MaxBytesReader on all POST request bodies
- Fix rand.Read error being silently ignored in token generation
Data integrity:
- Fix TOCTOU race in GetOrCreateChannel using INSERT OR IGNORE + SELECT
Build:
- Add CGO_ENABLED=0 to golangci-lint install in Dockerfile (fixes alpine build)
Linting:
- Strict .golangci.yml: only wsl disabled (deprecated in v2)
- Re-enable exhaustruct, depguard, godot, wrapcheck, varnamelen
- Fix linters-settings -> linters.settings for v2 config format
- Fix ALL lint findings in actual code (no linter config weakening)
- Wrap all external package errors (wrapcheck)
- Fill struct fields or add targeted nolint:exhaustruct where appropriate
- Rename short variables (ts->timestamp, n->bufIndex, etc.)
- Add depguard deny policy for io/ioutil and math/rand
- Exclude G704 (SSRF) in gosec config (CLI client takes user-configured URLs)
Tests:
- Add security tests (TestNonMemberCannotSend, TestHistoryNonMember)
- Split TestInsertAndPollMessages for reduced complexity
- Fix parallel test safety (viper global state prevents parallelism)
- Use t.Context() instead of context.Background() in tests
Docker build verified passing locally.
- Add busy_timeout PRAGMA and MaxOpenConns(1) for SQLite stability
- Use per-test temp DB in handler tests to prevent state leaks
- Pre-allocate migrations slice (prealloc lint)
- Remove invalid linter names (wsl_v5, noinlineerr) from .golangci.yml
- Remove unused //nolint:gosec directives
- Replace context.Background() with t.Context() in tests
- Use goimports formatting for all files
- All make check passes with zero failures
Add nolint:gosec annotations for:
- Client.Do calls using URLs built from trusted BaseURL + hardcoded paths
- Test helper HTTP calls using test server URLs
- Safe integer-to-rune conversion in bounded loop (0-19)
