  • type:chore — Maintenance, dependencies, tooling

📝 Summary

  • Preserve an already-decided denied-auth audit insert when the client cancels or disconnects its request.
  • Give the audit insert its own three-second timeout instead of inheriting request cancellation.
  • Add a regression scenario proving the HTTP 401 contract and persisted audit event survive a pre-canceled request context.

📂 Changes

File Change
internal/cloud/cloudserver/cloudserver.go Detaches the bounded denied-audit insert context from request cancellation.
internal/cloud/cloudserver/cloudserver_test.go Extends the timeout test with a canceled-request persistence scenario.

🧪 Test Plan

  • Focused regression: go test ./internal/cloud/cloudserver/ -run 'TestRequestAuthDeniedAuditInsertTimeoutStillRejects' -count=1
  • Cloudserver package: go test ./internal/cloud/cloudserver/ -count=1
  • go vet passes
  • gofmt and git diff --check are clean
  • LSP diagnostics are clean
  • Independent verifier approved the patch
  • Native reliability review approved and was acknowledged

🤖 AI Assistance

  • None — No material AI assistance was used.
  • Material assistance used — Pi coding agent under el Gentleman orchestration; implementation, verification, and review were AI-assisted under human direction.

…entleman-Programming#1134)

authenticateRequest rejected failed bearer auth with a bare 401 and no
trace, so a rotated legacy token left the hub silently stale for weeks
with zero rows in cloud_auth_audit_log and no server log line.

Every failed request auth now writes one best-effort audit row via the
existing identity sink (action sync.auth, outcome denied, reason_code
mapped from the error class: missing_header, malformed_bearer,
unknown_token, token_revoked, principal_disabled,
token_principal_mismatch, pepper_missing, resolver_error, plus
authorize_error on the legacy path) and one server log line per
rejection. A failed or unavailable audit write never blocks the 401;
successful request auth stays unaudited per request.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Rejected cloud authentication requests now produce structured denial logs and best-effort cloud_auth_audit_log entries. Reason codes cover bearer extraction, token resolution, and authorization failures. Successful requests remain unaudited, and audit failures do not change HTTP 401 responses.

Changes

Authentication denial auditing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Audit vocabulary and error classification
internal/cloud/cloudserver/cloudserver.go
Adds audit constants, sentinel bearer errors, denial-reason mapping, and classified bearer extraction failures.
Authentication rejection recording
internal/cloud/cloudserver/cloudserver.go
Audits bearer extraction, token resolution, and authorization failures before returning 401. Audit insert failures remain best-effort.
Authentication audit coverage
internal/cloud/cloudserver/cloudserver_test.go
Tests reason mappings, audit fields, successful requests, legacy authorization failures, insert failures, and missing audit sinks.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ea799

Rejected authentication requests now retain their existing 401 behavior while producing bounded audit and log telemetry. No outstanding merge-blocking risk was identified.

Closing as superseded by #1161, which carries the full #1134 fix including the denied-audit persistence after cancellation (the cancellation-preservation commit was folded into that branch). Keeping this draft open would only split review attention.
