Summary

  • Move VPN, Turnstile and plugin evaluation from web's /api/verify into presentation-verify's Evaluate RPC
  • EvaluateResponse now returns a reason (e.g. Used VPN) and the raw VPN result; web shows/logs the reason
  • TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY now lives on the verify service
  • VERIFY_RPC_URL comes from the k8s ConfigMap and defaults to http://localhost:8084 locally; only VERIFY_RPC_TOKEN must be set

Test plan

  • typecheck / lint
  • verify unit tests (8) and web server tests (21)
  • After deploy: set VERIFY_RPC_TOKEN and TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY for distopia-verify, then run a member verification

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added VPN, proxy, and Tor detection to verification, with refusal reasons when checks fail.
    • Added Turnstile verification before optional plugin evaluation.
    • Verification responses now include VPN-check results and explain refusals.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Verification now refuses attempts when the verification service is unconfigured or unavailable, rather than allowing unconfigured attempts.
  • Documentation
    • Updated setup guidance for the verification service and its required configuration.

Evaluate now runs VPN, Turnstile and plugin checks and returns a reason

📝 Walkthrough

The PR moves VPN/proxy/Tor, Turnstile, and plugin evaluation into presentation-verify and connects the web route to that RPC. It adds request and response fields for Turnstile, VPN policy, refusal reasons, and VPN outcomes, plus Kubernetes configuration and setup documentation.

Changes: Member verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verify RPC contract
lib/distopia/proto/distopia/verify/v1/verify.proto, lib/distopia/src/rpc.ts, src/infrastructure/rpc/src/index.ts
The request adds a Turnstile token and VPN-blocking flag. The response adds a refusal reason and VPN outcome details. VpnResult is re-exported.
Verification checks
src/presentation/verify/src/checks.ts, src/presentation/verify/src/checks.test.ts, src/presentation/verify/package.json
The verify service checks VPN status when enabled, verifies Turnstile, then evaluates the plugin. Each rejection returns a reason. Tests cover the check outcomes.
Verify service configuration
src/presentation/verify/src/server/rpc.ts, k8s/app/configmap.yaml, k8s/app/verify-deployment.yaml, k8s/app/verify-service.yaml, .env.example, CLAUDE.md, k8s/README.md
The RPC server requires the port, token, and Turnstile secret. Kubernetes configuration sets the RPC URL and Turnstile secret. The environment example and documentation describe service setup and verification behavior.
Web verification integration
src/presentation/web/src/lib/server/verifyPlugin.ts, src/presentation/web/src/routes/api/verify/+server.ts
The web route sends verification inputs to the RPC client and uses its outcome to build responses and logs. Missing configuration and service errors now return refusal outcomes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cab0

Verification remains fail-closed, but a Turnstile outage can produce a misleading refusal reason, and outdated setup guidance could lead to a deployment where members cannot verify. Correct both before deployment.

k8s/README.md:764-769
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the "safe no-op-by-default" statement. It now contradicts the new behavior.

Lines 767-769 say that applied resources are "a complete, safe no-op-by-default state" and that distopia-app "doesn't even attempt the RPC call". After this change, that is no longer true. Line 791-793 and verifyPlugin.ts now refuse every verification attempt until VERIFY_RPC_TOKEN is set. An operator who relies on this paragraph can merge and deploy without the token. Member verification then breaks for every guild. k8s/app/verify-deployment.yaml Line 1 has the same problem: it still calls distopia-verify "an OPTIONAL service", while Line 17 of the same file says it is required.

📝 Proposed doc fix
-per-resource commands below for everything after that). Having them applied is already a
-complete, safe no-op-by-default state: every `VerifyService` method just falls back, and
-`distopia-app` doesn't even attempt the RPC call until the last step below.
+per-resource commands below for everything after that). Applying them alone is not enough:
+member verification is refused for every guild until `VERIFY_RPC_TOKEN` is set (step 2).
+With no plugin mounted, the plugin step just allows.

- Around line 17-32: Move the `safeFetch` call and its result checks inside the
existing `try` block in `verifyTurnstile`, so thrown network and timeout errors
return `false` instead of rejecting. Keep the current fail-closed behavior for
unsuccessful responses and invalid JSON; do not add logging unless required
elsewhere.
