feat(hush): add a broker daemon that alone holds the BWS token - #75
Conversation
… on Linux st_mode is u16 on macOS and u32 on Linux, so the raw fstat conversion failed clippy on Linux. File::metadata on the same O_NOFOLLOW descriptor gives a u32 mode on both and drops the unsafe fstat.
…ot trip the socket check dev-substrate runs with umask 002, so create_dir_all made group-writable temp dirs and the socket directory check refused them. Production behavior is unchanged.
Round 3 review: every absolute path failed at / in --dev-same-user mode because / is root-owned. Root ownership now always passes, and debug builds also accept the daemon euid.

WalkthroughThis change adds a Unix-socket broker daemon that loads the BWS token and serves catalog metadata. It adds BWS execution, peer-credential auditing, startup and filesystem checks, and client-side catalog listing. When the daemon is unavailable, listing continues through the existing direct BWS path. ChangesHush broker

tempdirbuilds the path from the process id and a tag. It never deletes the directory after the test. Each run leaves token files and sockets in the shared temp directory. Unix socket paths also have a length limit of about 104 bytes on macOS. A longTMPDIRplushush-broker-test-<pid>-daemon-catalog/proxy/s.sockcan exceed that limit and makebindfail. Usetempfile::TempDir, or a guard that removes the directory on drop. For sockets, use a short base path.Based on learnings: "tests that create workspaces or filesystem state should use isolated temporary directories (e.g., via tempfile crate) ... and must clean up created resources afterward."

Fix the catalog timeout mismatch, client-controlled audit-line injection, and replacement of a live daemon socket before merging.
Reviewed changes Reviewed the complete broker-core PR, including token custody, subprocess execution, socket lifecycle, protocol boundaries, and hush list integration.
- Daemon and custody: Adds the root daemon, checked token-file loading, trusted absolute BWS resolution, bounded subprocess output, and deadlines.
- Transport and catalog: Adds versioned metadata-only frames, kernel peer credentials, concurrent connection handling, daemon audit logging, and the client API.
- CLI integration: Routes discovery through the broker when available while preserving direct BWS fallback only when unavailable; release builds omit the same-user development flag.
- Design and tests: Adds ADR 0002 for the four-PR stack and regression coverage for token, socket, subprocess, and wire boundaries.
Verification: all 53 Rust tests passed, as did formatting and Clippy across all targets. Three isolated probes against the unchanged broker modules reproduced the inline findings; live Bitwarden interoperability and macOS behavior were not exercised.

- audit log: created with mode 0600, owned by the daemon user, no group or world bits, and the client-supplied project filter is escaped so one record is always one line - server: an existing socket directory must not be a symlink; the binder probes the socket and refuses to replace a live daemon - client: catalog deadline raised to two bws deadlines plus overhead, so healthy slow backends no longer error at five seconds - backend: raw bws output is returned in a zeroizing string and parsed secret values are SecretString, so values zeroize on drop - docs: token ownership wording matches check_token_metadata, and the ADR example avoids the pattern GitGuardian reports

The new socket liveness probe can wait indefinitely on a full listener backlog. Bound that probe before merging.
Reviewed changes Reviewed 36dfe94 against the previous Pullfrog-reviewed head, c1cc927, with the complete PR diff as context.
- Extended client timeouts to cover both backend deadlines plus protocol overhead.
- Hardened audit records and files by escaping client-controlled control characters and enforcing private file ownership and permissions.
- Added socket checks for active listeners and symlinked socket directories, with regression coverage.
- Wrapped backend secrets in
SecretStringand successful subprocess output inZeroizing<String>, and cleared invalid UTF-8 output before returning an error. - Corrected documentation for token ownership and neutral example placeholders.
Verification: all 58 Rust tests, formatting, and Clippy across all targets passed. External probes confirmed six-second catalog success, escaped audit records, stale-socket recovery, and backend deserialization, and reproduced the backlog finding below. Live Bitwarden and macOS behavior were not exercised.

The flagged line is an env var name in a CLI example from PR 75's first commit. The value never existed, and the rewritten line on the tip is already clear of the pattern, but the check scans every commit, so the finding needs an explicit ignore entry keyed by its incident SHA. Narrower than ignoring the generic detector.

The backlog fix works on Linux, but the new probe still treats a saturated live macOS listener as stale and permits its socket to be replaced.
Reviewed changes Reviewed 41efb02 against the previous Pullfrog-reviewed head, f9b79c5, with the complete PR diff as context.
- Added bounded socket probing using a nonblocking connection, explicit liveness classifications, and a 500 ms pending-connect poll.
- Fixed listener-test shutdown by waking the blocking accept before joining its thread.
- Added probe regression coverage for missing paths and regular files.
Verification: all 59 Linux Rust tests, formatting, and Clippy across all targets passed. The listener-shutdown test passed 100 repeated runs; an external probe importing the unchanged server confirmed bounded refusal with a saturated Linux backlog, preservation of the original socket inode, and stale-socket recovery. The macOS concern below is grounded in Apple's kernel implementation; no macOS runtime or live Bitwarden testing was performed. The existing GitGuardian placeholder check still fails on this head; its unchanged configuration finding is not repeated inline.

…robe On macOS ECONNREFUSED also fires when a live listener's accept queue is full, so the probe now treats a refusal as undecided there and never unlinks the socket; Linux keeps reading refusal as staleness.

The macOS socket-preservation fix addresses the production concern, but the new regression test fails under the runner's normal umask and does not reliably exercise a saturated queue.
Reviewed changes Reviewed 5dca726 against the prior Pullfrog-reviewed head, 41efb02, with the complete PR diff as context.
- Fixed macOS refusal handling by preserving socket paths when connection refusal cannot distinguish a saturated listener from a stale socket.
- Added recovery guidance explaining manual socket removal when no daemon is running.
- Added saturation regression coverage intended to verify socket preservation and continued listener reachability.
Verification: the full serial Linux Rust suite reported 59 passed and one failed, reproducing the new test's directory-mode refusal under umask 002; excluding that test passed all 59. Formatting and Clippy across all targets passed. Under umask 077, the new test passed with the default backlog, but an isolated probe forcing a small backlog timed out after five seconds. No macOS runtime or live Bitwarden testing was performed. The unchanged GitGuardian check still fails; its previous configuration finding is not repeated inline.

The test helper now pins 0700 like the other round, the filler connects nonblocking with a per-attempt deadline so a full queue cannot hang it, the duplicate-bind refusal is exercised directly, and reachability is proven after accepting the dead entries out of the queue.

Important
No new regressions found in a1e8b0b, but the earlier saturation-coverage finding is only partially addressed. The committed test still permits success without observing a full queue, so this re-review is not an approval; no duplicate inline finding is posted.
Reviewed changes Reviewed a1e8b0b against the prior Pullfrog-reviewed head, 5dca726, with the complete PR diff as context.
- Pinned test-directory permissions to
0700, fixing the socket-directory refusal under umask002. - Replaced blocking queue-fill attempts with nonblocking connections and bounded polling.
- Exercised duplicate binding and recovery directly, explicitly drained queued connections, and separated post-drain reachability from the saturation flag.
Verification: all 60 serial Linux Rust tests passed, including under explicit umask 002; formatting and Clippy across all targets passed. An isolated run of the unchanged compiled test with only the listener backlog forced to zero passed in 0.10 seconds, confirming full-queue handling and successful post-drain reconnection. The normal Linux run still prints that saturation was not observed and passes, leaving the earlier deterministic-coverage requirement incomplete. No macOS runtime or live Bitwarden testing was performed; the unchanged GitGuardian placeholder check still fails.
gpt-6.1-sol | 𝕏
Every enqueued connection holds its slot after the client closes, so the filler now closes each stream it enqueues, loops until the kernel refuses, and asserts the refusal happened. No retained fds, no pending-connect hangs, and the duplicate-bind refusal and reachability asserts still run.

No new code issues found in beb0504; the saturation-coverage concern is now addressed. This remains a non-approving review because the previously reported GitGuardian integration issue is still outstanding: the current check fails on the same ADR placeholder incident, 38176923. No duplicate inline finding is posted.
Reviewed changes Reviewed beb0504 against the previous Pullfrog-reviewed head, a1e8b0b, with the complete PR diff as context.
- Increased queue-fill coverage to a bounded 65,536 attempts and required an observed full queue instead of allowing the regression test to pass without saturation.
- Closed filler clients immediately to avoid retaining thousands of client descriptors while their server-side connections remain queued until accepted.
- Preserved duplicate-bind and recovery checks that verify socket survival and successful reconnection to the original listener after draining.
Verification: all 60 serial Linux Rust tests passed under umask 002, as did formatting and Clippy across all targets. The mandatory saturation regression passed 25 additional runs. Upstream Linux and XNU accept implementations corroborate pending-connection retention after client closure; no macOS runtime or live Bitwarden testing was performed.
