What changed

  • Replaced shell command construction with execFile argument execution.
  • Validated request-derived identifiers before they are used in endpoint filenames.
  • Added configuration validation, a timeout, async file I/O, and error propagation.
  • Prevented captured provisioning-script output from being logged.

Validation

  • AgentProvisioningService regression tests: 3 passing.
  • agent-provisioning build passes.

Fixes #1707

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved agent provisioning reliability with stronger configuration and identifier validation.
    • Added clearer handling for missing, malformed, or invalid endpoint data.
    • Improved timeout handling and error reporting when provisioning scripts fail.
    • Enhanced protection against unsafe command execution during provisioning.
    • Standardized container naming and endpoint validation.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for successful provisioning, invalid identifiers, configuration errors, endpoint validation, timeouts, and script failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The agent provisioning flow validates configuration and identifiers, executes scripts with separated arguments and timeout controls, reads endpoint files asynchronously, and validates endpoint data. Unit tests cover success and failure paths.

Changes

Agent provisioning hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provisioning validation and execution
apps/agent-provisioning/src/agent-provisioning.service.ts
The service validates AFJ configuration and identifiers, executes the provisioning script with separated arguments and timeout controls, reads endpoint files asynchronously, and validates endpoint data.
Provisioning behavior tests
apps/agent-provisioning/src/agent-provisioning.service.spec.ts
Tests cover mocked dependencies, successful provisioning, identifier validation, timeout handling, endpoint validation, script failure propagation, and secret-safe logging.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9acc

The change leaves accepted ACAPY provisioning requests without a defined execution path, which can cause provisioning failures or unexpected success responses. Merge should wait until ACAPY is handled or explicitly rejected.

Nice cleanup of a genuinely nasty one — the argv-array switch kills the shell injection from #1707 outright, identifier validation closes the path-traversal angle on the endpoint filename, and the old promise-that-never-rejects hang on script failure is fixed too. Verified the positional args still line up with start_agent.sh ($1–$27), tests pass locally (9/9), typecheck and lint clean.

One regression worth sorting before merge (first comment) — legit org names will now be rejected. Two smaller notes below.

@ajile-in @RinkalBhojani The latest signed commit 1def944 handles the remaining endpoint-document case by validating the parsed JSON root before reading CONTROLLER_ENDPOINT; it also includes a regression test for a literal null document. All checks are green. Could you please take a final look?

Reject unsupported agent types explicitly.

When payload.agentType is AgentType.ACAPY, the condition is false and walletProvision resolves undefined, despite its Promise<object> contract. The RPC controller accepts IWalletProvision, whose agentType includes AgentType.ACAPY. Restore ACAPY dispatch or throw an unsupported-type error.
