An explicitly-null key (port: null, bare port:, debug: ~, and every
other config key including metrics subkeys) is a SET value under the
no-silent-fallback rule and must abort startup naming the key, instead
of silently taking the default as it does today. All 13 subtests fail
against the current behavior; the fix follows.
The pinned CI linter (golangci-lint v2.10.1) flags os.Remove(probePath)
in ensureStateDirWritable as G703 path traversal via taint analysis.
probePath comes from os.CreateTemp inside the StateDir that the probe
just validated, so the taint finding is a false positive; suppress it
with a justified nolint comment matching the existing precedent in
loadConfigFile. Verified against the pinned linter version via the
Dockerfile lint stage (0 issues).
A config value that is set but unparseable or invalid now aborts
startup with an error naming the offending key and value; defaults
apply only to omitted keys. Unknown top-level config keys and unknown
metrics subkeys abort startup naming each unknown key, so typos like
whitelist_hosts fail immediately instead of being silently ignored. A
config file that exists at a standard location but fails to parse is
now a fatal error instead of being skipped with a warning. state_dir
is verified creatable and writable with a probe file before the
listener binds. Port must be in 1-65535 (fractional values are
rejected, not truncated), upstream_connections_per_host must be at
least 1, allowlist_hosts entries must be bare hostnames, sentry_dsn
must be a valid URL when set, and metrics credentials must be set
together. The stale signing_key comment in config.example.yml (keyless
mode was never implemented) now states the actual requirement.
TODO.md records the completed step per its Workflow section.
Encode the required fail-fast behavior as tests ahead of the
implementation: a config value that is SET but unparseable or invalid
must abort startup (defaults apply only to OMITTED keys), unknown
top-level keys and unknown metrics subkeys must abort naming the key,
a malformed config file at a standard location must abort instead of
being skipped with a warning, and state_dir must be creatable and
writable at startup. Mechanically extracts newFromSmartConfig from
config.New so the construction path is testable without fx; current
lenient behavior is unchanged, so the new enforcement tests fail.
Extracts HMAC-SHA256 request signing out of `internal/imgcache/` into its own `internal/signature/` package, per the plan in [issue #39](#39).
This is one of the remaining "easily separable" extractions (`imageprocessor`, `allowlist`, `magic`, and `httpfetcher` already landed). Only the signer is moved here so the diff stays reviewable.
## What moved
From `internal/imgcache/signature.go` and its tests into `internal/signature/`:
- `Signer` type, its `New` constructor, `Sign`, `Verify`, `GenerateSignedURL`
- `ParseParams` (query-string signature/expiration parsing)
- Signature error sentinels
## One-way import edge
To keep the import edge one-way (`imgcache` depends on `signature`, never the reverse), the package defines a standalone `Request` type carrying just the fields the signature covers, instead of importing `imgcache.ImageRequest`. `imgcache` projects its `ImageRequest` onto `signature.Request` via a small unexported `signatureRequest` helper. This mirrors how the `magic` extraction defined its own `ImageFormat` type.
## Renames (no stuttering)
- `NewSigner` -> `signature.New`
- `ParseSignatureParams` -> `signature.ParseParams`
- `ErrSignatureRequired`/`Invalid`/`Expired` -> `signature.ErrRequired`/`Invalid`/`Expired`
The `ErrRequired` message is updated from "non-whitelisted host" to "non-allowlisted host" for inclusive terminology, consistent with the `allowlist` rename.
## Rework (post-review)
Three commits added after review feedback:
- `d69019b` — golden known-answer test pinning the exact HMAC signatures and signed URL paths for three fixed vectors (resized, resized+query, orig size), cross-validated against an independent HMAC implementation. Any change to the signed byte format now fails loudly.
- `43b9f1c` — whitelist→allowlist rename completed across `internal/imgcache` and `internal/handlers` (`ServiceConfig.Allowlist`, `Allowlist` interface, `IsAllowlisted`, test helpers and test names).
- `3dc1999` — one-pass config surface rename, no back-compat alias: YAML key `whitelist_hosts` → `allowlist_hosts`, `Config.WhitelistHosts` → `Config.AllowlistHosts`, `config.example.yml`, `scripts/manual-test.sh`, and `README.md` (which also documented a nonexistent `source_host_whitelist` key — now fixed to the real one).
## Behavior
Pure refactor apart from the config key rename above. The bytes fed to the HMAC are unchanged (`host:path:query:width:height:format:expiration`), so previously issued signatures remain valid — now enforced by the golden test. All existing tests move with the package. `script/cibuild` passes at head `3dc1999` (fmt-check, lint, test, build).

- Update Dockerfile base image from golang:1.24-alpine to golang:1.25.4-alpine
(pinned by sha256 digest) to match go.mod requirement of go >= 1.25.4
- Fix gosec G703 (path traversal) false positives by adding filepath.Clean()
at call sites with nolint annotations for internally-constructed paths
- Fix gosec G704 (SSRF) false positive with nolint annotation; URL is already
validated by validateURL() which checks scheme, resolves DNS, and blocks
private IPs
- All make check passes clean (lint + tests)
- Add config validation: signing_key required, minimum 32 characters
- Server now fails to start without valid signing_key (no more runtime errors)
- Add config.example.yml with default whitelist hosts
- Copy config to /etc/pixa/config.yml in Docker image
- Update entrypoint to use --config /etc/pixa/config.yml
- Add config.dev.yml for local Docker development
- Mount dev config in make devserver
- Change default StateDir from ./data to /var/lib/pixa (proper Unix convention)
- Create directory owned by pixad user in Dockerfile
- Set WORKDIR to /var/lib/pixa
