fix(cloud): audit denied request authentication (#1134) - #1161
Conversation
…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.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAuthentication failures now create classified, best-effort audit events with a three-second timeout. Bearer parsing exposes sentinel errors for classification. Rejected requests retain 401 responses. Tests cover audit contents, failures, timeouts, and successful authentication. ChangesRequest authentication auditing

Use a dedicated error for token-principal mismatches.
Principal.Validate() wraps cloudauth.ErrInvalidPrincipal for missing IDs and invalid kind, role, or source. ResolveBearerToken returns these errors, but it also uses the same sentinel for token/principal ID mismatches. requestAuthDenyReason can therefore record malformed-principal failures as token_principal_mismatch. Use a separate sentinel or typed error for the ID mismatch and map only that error here.

bug
- map token/principal ID mismatches to a dedicated ErrTokenPrincipalMismatch
sentinel so malformed principals audit as resolver_error, not
token_principal_mismatch
- return errBearerTokenRequired for Bearer scheme with empty credentials
("Bearer ", bare "Bearer") instead of malformed_bearer
- tighten the audit-insert deadline test band to the 3s timeout contract

Pushed 2fcea42 addressing three of the four actionables:
The fourth actionable (detaching audit persistence from client cancellation) is the contract of #1156, the next slice of this chain, and stays there. Verification: gofmt and vet clean, full Two reviewer notes on intentional behavior changes: a tab-separated "Bearer\ttok" header is now rejected as non-Bearer (RFC 7235 allows SP only), and the 401 body for empty bearer credentials is now "unauthorized: bearer token is required" with audit reason Size note: the PR is now 489 changed lines (was 391) because the review fixes added 95/17. The growth is entirely review-driven; flagging it since it crosses the 400-line budget. @dnlrsls when you review: the |

Follow-ups from the native review advisories are now tracked: #1171 (bearer grammar: spaced credentials + documentation), #1172 (test hygiene: deadline band constants, classification dedupe, sentinel doc), #1173 (dedicated reason_code for empty bearer credentials).

Cover an empty token principal ID.
ResolveBearerToken maps an empty ManagedTokenRecord.PrincipalID to ErrTokenPrincipalMismatch, but this test only covers different nonempty IDs. Add an empty-ID fixture and assert the same sentinel.

Reject surplus Bearer credentials before resolution.
strings.Cut passes "token extra" from Authorization: Bearer token extra to ResolveBearerToken. This changes a malformed-Bearer rejection into a resolver result, such as unknown_token, and changes both the audit reason and 401 body. Restore exact two-field parsing while retaining the lone Bearer scheme as errBearerTokenRequired.
