This PR addresses 8 critical security and reliability issues identified in the AI code review feedback, implementing minimal surgical fixes to improve the robustness of GABS without breaking existing functionality.
Key Security Improvements
Port Selection Vulnerability: Fixed
randomInt()inbridgecfg.gothat could generate negative port numbers due to improper handling of signed integers from raw bytes. The function now ensures non-negative values using proper bit masking and includes fallback error handling.Process Termination Safety: Tightened process name matching in
process/controller.goto prevent accidental termination of unrelated processes. Changed from substring matching to exact basename/path matching, addressing the risk of killing unintended processes on Linux/macOS systems.Reliability & Configuration Fixes
Deterministic Backoff Issue: Fixed non-seeded random number generator in
gabp/client.gothat caused identical retry patterns across multiple GABS instances. Now properly seeds with nanosecond precision to ensure genuine randomization.Version Accuracy: Replaced hard-coded "1.0.0" bridge version with actual runtime version using
version.Get(), ensuring proper version reporting in GABP handshakes and eliminating potential compatibility issues.Error Handling: Enhanced JSON marshaling error propagation in
mirror.goresource handlers, replacing silent failures with proper error returns and structured error responses.Data Serialization: Improved tool result handling by serializing non-text results as proper JSON instead of Go's
%vstring representation, ensuring consistent data format for AI agents.Validation & Safety
Configuration Safety: Validated that
GetGame()copy semantics are correct and safe, preventing accidental configuration mutations while maintaining expected behavior patterns. Added comprehensive test coverage to document this behavior.Range Validation: Confirmed existing backoff parser already includes proper range validation to prevent invalid duration windows like "5s..100ms".
