sha256:65ccb454656ea5acdea0a10e559b78bcde1eb6ff753ecc2911bc99d1c3d7cadd feat(calendar): enforce agent context tiers in retrieval AP… Human minor ⚠ breaking 1 day ago
1 /**
2 * Tier 7 — SECURITY (the centerpiece): adversarial properties of the loopback guard.
3 *
4 * Each block maps to an attacker capability from the Phase 2 threat model and asserts the exact
5 * control that stops it (gate §4). The guard is the bouncer for the most security-critical
6 * surface in the companion design; these tests are the proof the bouncer is incorruptible BEFORE
7 * a socket is ever bound (Phase 5).
8 *
9 * Coverage (gate §10 security tier + the Phase 2 prompt's mandatory list):
10 * - missing token → 401
11 * - wrong token → 401, constant-time (no early-exit, no length-throw, no timing oracle)
12 * - bad Host header → DNS-rebinding rejection (403)
13 * - cross-site Origin / Sec-Fetch-Site rejection (403)
14 * - no wildcard CORS / no arbitrary-Origin reflection
15 * - rate-limit trip (429)
16 * - no ambient authority (verdict exposes ONLY the inference decision — never vault/canister/JWT)
17 * - note-body-as-data (an injection payload cannot alter headers, host, or the decision)
18 * - NO secret in any output / reason / thrown error
19 *
20 * Reference: docs/COMPANION-APP-DESIGN-AND-AUTHORIZATION-GATE.md §4, §10;
21 * docs/COMPANION-APP-MODEL-ROUTING-AND-ENRICHMENT-ARCHITECTURE.md §8.1, §8.3.
