fix(backend): report ingest correctness — propagate storage failure, 413 on oversize, global body cap (closes #23)
A buffer failure on POST /api/v1/reports now returns 500 instead of a
false {"status":"ok"}, so clients can retry. Decode errors are split:
an over-limit body returns 413 (via errors.As on *http.MaxBytesError),
malformed JSON stays 400. A new MaxBodyBytes middleware caps every
route (1 MiB default; rejects an oversized Content-Length up-front and
caps the read otherwise), replacing the per-route reader so the health
check and future routes are bounded too. The raw attacker-controlled
geo blob is no longer logged — only its byte length — and client_id and
timestamp are length-bounded before logging. A decodeJSON handler helper
is added per the HTTP server conventions. Panic recovery is now a local
middleware that routes the stack through slog as structured JSON rather
than chi's plain-text stderr. Error bodies still leak nothing internal.

Chosen failure code for a storage failure: 500, since a full buffer or
write error is server-side and retryable, not the client's fault.

Workflow

  • branch (from main)
  • do the work in Next Step
  • move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
  • move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
  • commit (TODO.md changes in the same commit as the work)
  • merge to main if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
  • push

Status

pre-1.0. No git tags. Backend work in flight on feat/reportbuf-storage (dirty: src/main.js). Frontend is functional; backend is new and unmerged.

Next Step

Land feat/reportbuf-storage: finish the in-progress src/main.js change, get make check green, and merge the branch to main. The branch adds the backend (buffered zstd-compressed report storage), the CI workflow, and backend repo standard files, so merging it also closes most compliance gaps.

Completed Steps

  • 2026-09-21: report ingest correctness (issue #23): a storage failure now returns 500 instead of a false ok; oversize bodies return 413 (distinguished from malformed JSON, which stays 400); a MaxBodyBytes middleware caps every route, not just the report route; the raw attacker-controlled geo blob is no longer logged (only its length) and client_id/timestamp are length-bounded before logging; a decodeJSON handler helper was added; and panic recovery now routes the stack through slog instead of chi's plain-text stderr
  • 2026-09-21: backend HTTP hardening (issue #19): added ReadHeaderTimeout and IdleTimeout to the server, a SecurityHeaders middleware (HSTS, tight CSP, frame/sniff/referrer/permissions headers) registered before CORS, and trusted-proxy client IP resolution honouring X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP only from a TRUSTED_PROXIES allowlist (loopback plus RFC1918 by default)
  • 2026-08-10: every interactive control now meets the 44x44 CSS px minimum tap target (.pin-btn, #interval-select, the debug-log label and, on narrow viewports, #pause-btn). The pin button's hit area grows via matching negative margins, so its layout footprint and row density are unchanged
  • 2026-08-10: per-host status line wraps below the 768px breakpoint instead of forcing horizontal page scroll at 320px
  • 2026-08-09: Dockerfile.backend reworked to the mandated Go multistage lint-stage pattern: separate lint stage on the hash-pinned golangci/golangci-lint image, COPY --from=lint stage dependency, CGO_ENABLED=0 static build driven by ARG VERSION, and no more COPY .git
  • 2026-08-09: dotfile compliance — lifted backend/.editorconfig to the repo root so root = true covers the frontend too, and replaced .gitignore with the org model (OS, editor, node, and environment/secrets sections) plus this repo's dist/ and *.log. .env, .env.*, *.pem, and *.key are now ignored repo-wide, not just under backend/. Excluding .git from .dockerignore stays deferred: both images read git metadata at build time (COPY .git in Dockerfile.backend, git rev-parse in vite.config.js)
  • 2026-07-07 Adopted scripts-to-rule-them-all: script/ entrypoints, Makefile shims, README Entrypoints section
  • 2026-02-27: backend with buffered zstd-compressed report storage; CI workflow and backend repo standard files; backend Dockerfile fixed (Go 1.25, golangci-lint) and moved to repo root (feat/reportbuf-storage, unmerged)
  • 2026-02-26: host row layout redesigned with CSS grid; overflow and spacing fixes; nginx config extracted; port hardcoded to 8080
  • 2026-02-26: debug log panel, median stats, recovery probe, Docker build fix, S3 Singapore endpoint added
  • 2026-02-23: summary box redesign, host pinning, local and UTC clocks, checks counter
  • 2026-02-23: hosts sorted by latency; GET instead of HEAD for latency; timeout derived from interval; Hetzner regional endpoints; 3s interval
  • 2026-01-29: initial NetWatch network latency monitor

Future Steps

  • Compliance top-up as one small commit: add .editorconfig and add the hooks target to the Makefile
  • After merge, confirm .gitea/workflows/check.yml is on main and CI is green (main always green policy)
  • Decide what to do with untracked resume.sh: commit it, gitignore it, or delete it
