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.
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).
