Add curation desk gateway routes - #95
Conversation
Five public GETs and eight signed POSTs under /private-api/curation-desk/, proxied to curation/desk/ upstream. Every desk call carries a shared secret header and the routes answer 503 while it is unconfigured, so the backend never sees an unauthenticated read or write through this service. Public reads whitelist, clamp and order their query so equivalent requests share one memo entry and one cache key, are memoized as bytes for the s-maxage of their Cache-Control (single-flight per key, last-good fallback on an upstream error) and have curator-identity keys stripped before they are stored. Writes resolve the caller from the signed code, memoize a successful validation briefly, and forward only whitelisted body fields under the validated username. BytesCache entries gain an optional tag so a memoized body keeps its content type; UpstreamResponse keeps the raw body bytes for the same reason.
Payload rules (validated username only, whitelists, state and action allowlists, route 5 path grammar), query normalization (whitelist, clamps, dropped defaults, fixed order, public random sort falls back), the public payload fence (private keys stripped at any depth on every read), and the handler behaviour: token on every upstream call, 503 while unconfigured, validation memo hit and expiry with failures never remembered, byte memo with single flight and last-good fallback, Cache-Control on 200 only and no-store on writes. CachePolicyTests cover the five desk policies and SharedMaxAge.
One KNOWN_DIVERGENCES entry per generated catalog case (::get for the five reads, ::min ::pop ::badcode for the eight writes) and the DESK_INTERNAL_TOKEN row in the environment table.
…not ours The single-flight gate exists to share one upstream call per key, so a fill now only computes the public bytes and stores them: the response is written after the gate is released, and a reader on a slow connection can no longer hold every other reader of that key behind its own socket. Cache-Control is attached only where a JSON object or array this service holds is served (memo hit, fresh fill, last-good). A 200 whose body is neither is treated like a 5xx: last-good first, then piped uncached and unmemoized, so a gateway error page can no longer be stored publicly for the s-maxage. A JSON error body now passes through the same private-key fence as a served one. Writes answer the unconfigured 503 before validating, so a dark desk costs no chain lookup whoever is asking. The roster feed body reuses the public feed's value rules (clamped ranges, the view, app and window allowlists, the community and cursor patterns, a seed the backend can hash with) and the tick truncates its id lists to the documented 100. Validation patterns anchor with \A and \z and spell community digits as ASCII, so a trailing newline or an Arabic-Indic digit is no longer the value. Numeric values parse as doubles before clamping, so limit=99999999999 asks for 50 rather than falling back to the default. The memo budget moves to Config as DESK_MEMO_BYTES, same 64 MiB default.
A response writer stalled on one key must not hold a second read of that key past the fill; an HTML 200 and a scalar JSON 200 carry no Cache-Control and are not memoized, while a last-good answer to one does; an error body keeps the private-key fence; a write answers 503 while unconfigured for a signed body and an anonymous one alike, without validating either; a trailing newline or a non-ASCII digit fails the patterns; a limit past the int range clamps; the roster feed body and the tick id lists follow the public value rules; a lone surrogate survives the strip and the memo. Cache policy theory rows are keyed by route so no two rows share a test id, and the validation memo TTL is wide enough that a loaded runner cannot expire it between two back-to-back calls.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a caller obtains this semaphore just before the current owner checks CurrentCount, the owner can observe 1 and remove the gate before that caller executes WaitAsync; a subsequent request then creates a second semaphore for the same endpoint. If the preceding fill did not populate the memo, both callers can issue concurrent upstream requests, defeating single-flight, and their responses can be stored out of order so an older result overwrites a newer one. Track users/waiters explicitly or retain gates rather than using CurrentCount as a safe-removal test.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in 4265244: gates are reference counted under one lock (CurationDeskMemo.GateFor/ReleaseGate) and removed only when the last user leaves and the key still maps to that same gate, so a reader handed the gate before a cleanup cannot wait on an orphan while a replacement fills the same key. ServeDeskRead takes the reference once and always returns it in the finally, timeout path included. Pinned by AKeysGateIsKeptWhileAnyReaderStillHoldsIt and ALateWaiterNeverFillsAKeyBesideTheReaderFillingIt.

The single-flight gate was dropped from its table on the semaphore count alone, so a reader handed the gate before that cleanup could later wait on an entry nobody owns while the next reader filled the same key through a replacement. Two fills of one key then finish in any order and the older answer can be stored last. Users are counted under the table lock instead, and the entry is dropped only when the last one leaves and the key still maps to that same gate. The roster feed body cast any finite JSON number to an int, so 1.9 travelled as 1 while the query string dropped it. Only whole numbers are limits, reputations and word counts now: a fraction is dropped, a string still has to spell a plain signed integer, and a number is judged by its value so 1e6 and 1000000 clamp alike in a body and in a query string. Route 5 read its path values before the shared unconfigured check, so a dark desk answered 400 there and 503 everywhere else. It answers the documented 503 first, before it looks at anything the caller sent.
A body served from the in-process memo went out with the route's full s-maxage, so a roster answered from the memo just before its 600 s TTL lapsed could be held downstream for another 600 s: nearly twenty minutes of one answer across the two layers. Memo entries now record when they were filled. A hit sends the rest of its window, floored at one second, plus an Age header so a shared cache that computes freshness from Age expires it at the same moment as one that only reads s-maxage. A fresh fill is unchanged (full window, Age 0). A last-good body served after an upstream failure is handled separately: it carries a short five second window rather than the route's own, so a backend that recovers is picked up within a poll or two.

Review round pushed (3d2afa4): memo entries now record their fill time, so a body served from the memo goes out with only the rest of its shared window (floored at one second) plus an Age header, instead of restarting the full s-maxage downstream; a fresh fill still sends the whole window. The last-good fallback is handled separately and carries a five second window with its real age rather than the route's own, so a recovered upstream is picked up within a poll or two. 391 tests green. |

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not subtract the age twice.
A shared cache uses s-maxage as the freshness lifetime and compares it with the response current age. These calls both reduce s-maxage and emit that elapsed time in Age. Therefore, a memo hit with s-maxage=10, Age=590, and a stale response with s-maxage=5, Age=120, are immediately stale and cannot provide the intended cache buffer. (rfc-editor.org)
For memo hits, keep the original route s-maxage and emit the actual Age. For stale responses that must remain reusable for five seconds, set s-maxage to ageSeconds + 5 so its remaining freshness is five seconds. Update the header assertions to cover freshness calculation from both directives.
Also applies to: 331-331

A shortened s-maxage together with an Age header is subtracted twice by a cache that honours both, so a memo hit or a last-good body arrived stale. The remaining window (or the short stale window) is now the only freshness signal, and the Age-emitting overload is gone.
|
Follow-up pushed (743f127): the remaining lifetime is now the only freshness signal. A memo hit sends the shortened s-maxage with no Age header and the last-good body sends the short window with no Age header, so a cache that honours both no longer subtracts the age twice and receives the intended window. The Age-emitting overload was removed; tests assert the header is absent on every path. |
