fix(gl): derive View: URL from node instead of hardcoding gitlawb.com (#370) - #377
fix(gl): derive View: URL from node instead of hardcoding gitlawb.com (#370)#377Gravirei wants to merge 7 commits into
Conversation
…Gitlawb#370) gl repo create and gl mirror print a View: link that was unconditionally pointed at gitlawb.com, which 404s for repos on self-hosted nodes. Make the node advertise an optional web_url on GET / (sourced from the new GITLAWB_WEB_URL env var). The CLI fetches GET / after repo creation and only prints View: when the node supplies web_url. Nodes without the config skip the line entirely, which is better than printing a broken link.

I read the diff on head 9ca4fcf, ran cargo test -p gl repo::tests::test_cmd_create_success (green, no View: because GET / is unmocked), and premise-mutated both sides: removing the server web_url insert left the full gitlawb-node suite green; removing the CLI View block or restoring the hardcoded gitlawb.com link also left test_cmd_create_success green. The core design is sound: stop hardcoding gitlawb.com, advertise web_url from the node, print View: only when present, trim trailing slashes on the CLI. CodeRabbit's normalization ask is already on head. I am declining their silent-omit ask: this matches the existing fail-soft pattern for optional post-success hints (repo.rs replica count).
One process note, not a finding: open PR #325 also touches crates/gitlawb-node/src/config.rs and is likely to land first. Expect a rebase conflict there, not a design rework.
Findings
-
[P2] Pin the View-URL behavior with load-bearing tests
crates/gl/src/repo.rs:838
test_cmd_create_success mocks only POST /api/v1/repos and never asserts stdout. Restoring the hardcoded gitlawb.com View line still passes. Add a mock GET / returning {"web_url":"https://example.com",...}, capture stdout, assert the View: line uses that base; add a case with no web_url (or failed GET /) asserting no View: and no gitlawb.com. Mirror should get the same treatment or share a small helper under test. -
[P2] Reject empty or whitespace-only GITLAWB_WEB_URL at boot
crates/gitlawb-node/src/config.rs:574
Clap maps GITLAWB_WEB_URL="" to Some("") not None, and the node advertises it whenever is_some(). Whitespace-only values produce a broken View: line. Add a Config::validate() check (trim, reject if empty) or normalize to None. -
[P3] Document GITLAWB_WEB_URL beside GITLAWB_PUBLIC_URL
.env.example:11
The struct field and clap help exist, but .env.example only documents GITLAWB_PUBLIC_URL. Operators need a one-line distinction: API reachability vs browser View base.
Not an ask, recorded only: gl peer add reading public_url from GET / is a pre-existing contract gap, not introduced here. Fleet deploy templates setting only GITLAWB_PUBLIC_URL means View links stay hidden until someone sets GITLAWB_WEB_URL separately; that is a deployment follow-up, not a blocker on this PR.
- Extract fetch_node_web_url() helper for testability; add 6 unit tests covering: web_url present, trailing-slash trim, absent, empty string, whitespace-only, and server error - Reject empty/whitespace-only GITLAWB_WEB_URL at boot in Config::validate() - Trim whitespace from web_url in the CLI helper (not just trailing slashes) - Document GITLAWB_WEB_URL in .env.example alongside GITLAWB_PUBLIC_URL - Mirror uses shared fetch_node_web_url() helper

Re-read head 195a017. CI on this head is green except cargo audit (fleet advisory). Your three asks from my first round are on head: six load-bearing fetch_node_web_url unit tests, Config::validate rejects empty/whitespace, and .env.example documents GITLAWB_WEB_URL. test (stable) passed on 195a017. A cross-model refute pass on this head found one gap the first round missed.

…lawb#370) Both web_url validators now reject URLs carrying a query string or fragment: the CLI builds View links by string-appending /{owner}/{repo}, so "?a=1" would swallow the repo path into the query. The CLI also no longer swallows transport-level failures on GET / — a refused or failed connection warns on stderr like the other degraded-link paths.

Re-read head 57276ca. CI is green except cargo audit (fleet advisory). The #370 core is in place: nodes advertise optional web_url, the CLI prints View: only when present, and validate_web_url rejects empty, scheme-less, and non-http(s) values at boot. 57276ca also adds transport-error warnings on GET / and rejects query/fragment web_urls on both sides. I ran a rustc probe against validate_web_url: "https://git lawb.com" fails parse, but "https://example.com/\x1b[31m" still passes with control bytes in the stored string.
Open PRs #285, #324, #325, #173, and #330 also touch config.rs; expect a rebase conflict when those land, not a design rework.
Findings
- [P2] Cap and sanitize web_url before terminal output
crates/gl/src/repo.rs:249
fetch_node_web_url still calls info_resp.json().await on the full GET / body and returns the raw JSON string for println without sanitize_node_msg. peer.rs already treats caller-chosen node replies as the least trusted bytes in gl: read_body_capped(resp, 8 * 1024) then defang before the terminal (peer.rs:198-202, http.rs:209-236). A hostile node can pass http(s) url::Url parse with ANSI, bell, or bidi controls in the path; those bytes reach View: in both cmd_create and mirror.rs. Mirror the peer pattern here: cap the body, parse from the cap, run sanitize_node_msg on the accepted base before return/print, and add a unit test with control bytes in the mock web_url asserting they do not reach the returned string. The malformed-web_url stderr path should sanitize trimmed the same way.
Not an ask, recorded only: test_cmd_create_success still does not mock GET / or assert stdout; the helper unit tests cover #370 at the function level.
Superseded by review on head 57276ca
…#370) Treat GET / like every other caller-chosen node reply: bound the body read at 8 KiB and parse from the cap (peer.rs precedent). A web_url containing control or bidi characters — which passes URL parsing but would reach the terminal verbatim through the View: line — is now rejected as malformed, with a defanged preview in the warning.
h2 0.4.13 is vulnerable to unbounded empty DATA frames (remote DoS); 0.4.16+ carries the fix. Lockfile-only bump, no manifest change.

Warn for malformed node-info responses.
If a successful response has invalid JSON, or contains a present non-string web_url, this helper returns None silently. The command then looks the same as a node that correctly has no web frontend.
Warn for JSON parse failures and present values with an invalid type. Keep the silent path only for a missing, blank, or whitespace-only web_url. Add regression cases for invalid JSON and {"web_url": false}.

Re-read head 6c40812. CI is green. The cap-and-sanitize round from my last review is on head: fetch_node_web_url caps GET / at 8 KiB (read_body_capped), rejects C0 controls and bidi-format chars, and cargo test -p gl fetch_node_web_url is 11/11 green including test_fetch_node_web_url_rejects_control_bytes. Node boot validation, .env.example, and the shared helper wiring in mirror.rs all look right for #370.

I mocked GET / withweb_urlcontaining U+2028; the helper returnedSome("https://example.com/\u{2028}evil"), which would reachprintln!(" View: ...")in bothcmd_createandmirror.rs. Those code points break the terminal line the same way a newline would. Extend the rejection predicate to cover them and add a unit-test case; optionally mirror the same rule invalidate_web_urlat boot so the node does not advertise them on GET /.
One process note, not a finding: open PRs #285, #324, and #325 also touch crates/gitlawb-node/src/config.rs. Expect a rebase conflict when those land.
Not an ask, recorded only: I am declining CodeRabbit's warn-on-invalid-JSON thread again. A 200 with unparseable JSON is the same fail-soft contract as a missing web_url field for this optional hint. Node boot validate_web_url does not yet reject control/bidi bytes the client already blocks; defense in depth only, not blocking here. The read_body_capped call is present but not proven load-bearing by an oversized-body case in the helper tests; the implementation matches the peer.rs precedent.
Superseded by re-review on head 6c40812.
Summary
gl repo create and gl mirror print a
View:link unconditionally pointed atgitlawb.com, which 404s for repos on self-hosted nodes.Motivation & context
Closes #370
After
gl repo createon a self-hosted node, theView:URL resolves throughgitlawb.com→explorer.gitlawb.com, which can only see repos on the main network. Self-hosted repos silently 404. The fix lets nodes advertise an optionalweb_urlso the CLI only prints a working link.Kind of change
What changed
web_url: Option<String>config field (GITLAWB_WEB_URLenv var). When set, the node advertises it inGET /.node_infoconditionally includesweb_urlin the response.DegradedState,build_degraded_router,run_degraded_server, anddegraded_node_infopropagate and includeweb_url.GET /and only printsView:when the node suppliesweb_url.View:whenweb_urlis present.How a reviewer can verify

Notes for reviewers
web_urlis entirely opt-in: nodes that don't setGITLAWB_WEB_URLomit it fromGET /, and the CLI silently skips theView:line. No behavior change for existing deployments.GET /endpoint is already public (no auth), consistent with how node identity info is served.Summary by CodeRabbit
