Revalidate fetch redirects against network policy (#647)

[leynos]

Summary

This branch makes NetworkPolicy an invariant of every outbound fetch
hop, preventing an allowed origin from redirecting a manifest request to a
blocked, non-allowlisted, or disallowed-scheme destination. It disables ureq
automatic redirects, validates each resolved target before connection, bounds
chains, detects loops, and redacts redirect diagnostics.

Closes #647.

Review walkthrough

• Start with the redirect adapter for the manual GET loop, pre-connection policy decision, redirect limit, credential stripping, and bounded telemetry.
• Then review the HTTP fixture response model and the two-server redirect tests, which prove denied targets receive zero requests.
• Finish with ADR-020, which records the every-hop least-privilege decision and original-URL cache identity.

Validation

• make check-fmt: passed
• make lint: passed
• make doc-coverage: passed (99.14%)
• make test: passed (2,820 tests, 3 skipped, plus doctests)
• make markdownlint: passed
• make nixie: passed

Summary by Sourcery

Enforce NetworkPolicy on every fetch redirect hop before opening the next connection.

New Features:

• Apply network policy validation to every outbound fetch redirect destination.
• Add bounded redirect handling with relative URL resolution, loop detection, credential stripping, and distinct diagnostics.
• Preserve original fetch URLs as cache identities while validating complete redirect chains before caching responses.

Bug Fixes:

• Prevent allowed endpoints from redirecting fetch requests to blocked, non-allowlisted, or disallowed-scheme destinations before a connection is made.

Enhancements:

• Add policy-aware redirect telemetry with redacted URL and credential information.
• Expand HTTP test fixtures to support response sequences and request counting.
• Document the redirect security decision, behavior, and cache semantics.

Documentation:

• Document per-hop redirect policy enforcement, redirect limits, diagnostics, and cache behavior in user and developer references.
• Record the redirect security decision in ADR-020 and mark the redirect policy bypass as remediated in the network security audit.

Tests:

• Add unit, integration, cache, telemetry, and fixture tests covering allowed redirects, denied targets, loops, redirect limits, and zero requests to rejected destinations.

Chores:

• Add localized message keys for redirect validation failures.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The tests cover important cases: blocked and non-allowlisted targets receive zero requests, relative redirects work, cache modes reject a blocked target, loops stop, the five-hop boundary is enforced, and the original cache key is checked. The coverage is not rigorous for all introduced behaviour. tests/std_filter_tests/network_redirect_tests.rs exercises only status 302. The status table in src/stdlib/network/redirect.rs tests only a private predicate, so a dispatcher that mishandles 301, 303, 307, or 308 would pass. The integration tests also use only one rejected hop. An implementation that validates the first redirect but bypasses policy for a later hop would pass. No end-to-end test covers missing or invalid Location, a disallowed redirect scheme, cross-origin credential stripping, or the returned diagnostic text. The observability test checks only captured events; it never checks the Error returned by fetch, so leaked redirect userinfo in the user-visible diagnostic would not fail the test. The fixture tests verify response rendering and request counts, but they do not verify the request method or headers.

Resolution

Add end-to-end local-server tests for every supported redirect status, including the expected GET request method. Add a multi-hop test where an allowed first destination redirects to a blocked, non-allowlisted, and disallowed-scheme destination, and assert zero requests to the final target. Add tests for missing and malformed Location headers. Add a cross-origin redirect fixture that records request headers and assert that URL credentials or equivalent sensitive credentials do not reach the target. Assert that the returned redirect errors contain no username or password, and assert the bounded telemetry fields separately. Keep request-count assertions on separate redirector and target servers so each test fails when policy validation is removed or applied only to the first hop.

Full details: User-Facing Documentation

Explanation

The users' guide now clearly documents the redirect policy in docs/users-guide.md:959-977, including per-hop checks, supported statuses, relative locations, the five-hop limit, loop and location errors, credential handling, redacted diagnostics, and cache identity. However, the pull request changes user-visible fetch() behaviour: redirects that previously followed automatically can now fail for policy, loop, location, or limit reasons. The project is pre-1.0.0 beta (0.1.0-beta3), and the corresponding docs/v0-1-0-migration-guide.md is the existing migration document. The pull request does not change that document or any migration guidance. This misses the explicit requirement to signpost new functionality or breaking behaviour in the n+1 migration document.

Resolution

Update docs/v0-1-0-migration-guide.md for the beta-to-final migration. Add a fetch compatibility entry that explains per-hop NetworkPolicy validation, rejection of blocked or disallowed redirect targets before connection, the five-redirect and loop limits, and the effect on manifests that relied on unrestricted automatic redirects. Link to the new users' guide section and state that ordinary redirects within the configured policy need no change.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

The PR introduces a redirect-chain invariant over many URLs, policy outcomes, hop sequences, loop states, redirect statuses, and origin changes. The changed code stores visited targets, resolves arbitrary Location values, strips cross-origin credentials, enforces a hop bound, and evaluates each next URL before dispatch. The tests use only fixed rstest cases and hand-written HTTP sequences. The changed files add no proptest, Kani, or equivalent bounded-model test. The status table is small and complete, but it does not cover the broader redirect state space that a reader cannot audit confidently from these examples.

Resolution

Add a substantive proptest or bounded-model test for a pure redirect-state model, or generate bounded HTTP redirect sequences. Vary relative and absolute locations, allowed and disallowed schemes and hosts, repeated targets, chain lengths around the limit, supported status codes, origin changes, and URL userinfo. Assert that every dispatched hop passes NetworkPolicy, that rejected targets receive no request, that visited targets terminate loops, that accepted chains stay within the limit, and that cross-origin credentials are removed. Keep the existing parameterized status tests for the small status contract.

Full details: Unit Architecture

Explanation

Fail the Unit Architecture check. The new redirect workflow couples redirect policy, transport, telemetry, and localised presentation. evaluate_redirect_target is named as a query but emits tracing events and constructs a user-facing error. dispatch_request constructs a concrete ureq::Agent with hard-coded timeouts, so the redirect loop has no injectable transport seam. The unit tests cover only status and policy helpers; redirect orchestration is tested only through live TCP fixtures. These concerns are introduced by src/stdlib/network/redirect.rs and its new manual redirect loop.

Resolution

Split the pure redirect transition and policy decision from telemetry and localised error construction. Keep query functions read-only and return explicit decision data or errors. Inject a narrow redirect transport at the loop boundary, such as a purpose-shaped transport callback or interface, and construct the production ureq::Agent at the composition edge. Keep timeout configuration with that adapter. Add unit tests with a fake transport for relative locations, loops, limits, and rejected targets, then retain the live TCP tests for the end-to-end contract.

Full details: Domain Architecture

Explanation

The pull request places redirect policy logic inside the HTTP adapter. src/stdlib/network/redirect.rs makes RedirectState::advance depend directly on ureq::Response, reads the transport Location header, and combines HTTP redirect handling with hop limits, loop detection, cross-origin credential stripping, and NetworkPolicy evaluation. is_supported_redirect_status also embeds HTTP status-code rules in the same module. This is a changed-code match for the check's explicit rule that adapters must translate external representations without smuggling domain policy into the translation layer.

Resolution

Extract a transport-independent redirect domain component. Give it domain-shaped inputs such as redirect status, optional location, current URL, visited targets, hop count, and NetworkPolicy, and return typed decisions or domain errors for missing or invalid locations, loops, limits, credential handling, and policy rejection. Keep ureq::Response, HTTP headers, status-code extraction, ureq::Agent, minijinja::Error, localization, tracing, and timeout handling in the adapter. Make the adapter translate each ureq response into the domain input, apply the returned decision, and translate domain errors back into localized template errors. Add unit tests for the domain component without ureq or network infrastructure.

Full details: Observability

Explanation

Fail the Observability check. The PR adds manual redirect hops and changes cache and error behaviour, but it adds no network metrics. The repository search finds no fetch or redirect counter, error-rate metric, latency histogram, hop-count metric, or cache metric in the changed code. The new code emits only tracing events for policy decisions and a request-failure warning in src/stdlib/network/redirect.rs; it emits no log at the new loop, redirect-limit, missing-Location, or invalid-location failure boundaries. The request-failure warning records the raw host field, which is an unbounded domain value and is not bucketed or hashed. The policy events contain operation, policy_outcome, policy_reason, and hop, but no request correlation or timing context. These gaps are introduced or exposed by the new per-hop redirect behaviour.

Resolution

Add bounded network observability at the fetch boundary. Emit documented counters for fetch outcomes and redirect outcomes, with closed labels such as outcome, policy_reason, and redirect_failure; add histograms for total fetch duration and, if hop behaviour is measured, a bounded hop-count or redirect-count histogram. Register and export these metrics through the existing metrics recorder, and test their names and label sets. Add structured tracing at the fetch start/end and each redirect failure boundary, including a stable operation or request correlation value, hop count, outcome, error category, and elapsed time without URLs, hosts, credentials, payloads, or other unbounded values. Remove the raw host from dispatch_hop logs or replace it with a bounded category or safe hash. Cover loop, limit, missing-location, invalid-location, policy-rejection, timeout, and final-success paths with observability tests.

Reviewer's Guide

Fetch now follows redirects manually so every outbound hop is resolved, policy-checked before connection, bounded, loop-safe, credential-sanitized, and redacted; cache identity remains tied to the original URL, with fixture and integration tests documenting the security and behavioral guarantees.

Document redirect behaviour in the users' guide

The checked docs/users-guide.md network section still describes only the initial fetch() policy, despite this change adding per-hop policy checks, a five-hop limit, loop rejection, credential stripping, and new user-visible diagnostics. Users configuring allowlists cannot determine from the guide why a previously successful redirected fetch now fails, so document this externally observable contract there.

Reference the ADR from the network design

This new ADR records a substantive architectural decision, but the commit only links it from the documentation index and updates the security audit; the primary docs/netsuke-design.md remains unaware of the redirect-handling boundary. Add a reference from the relevant network-design section so readers following the project's design source of truth can discover the decision.

This introduces a new public test_support helper used across test targets, but a repo-wide documentation search found no architecture, design, or developers-guide entry defining its ownership, permitted call sites, or composition rules. Record that reuse policy in the appropriate indexed document rather than leaving the abstraction contract implicit in its call sites.

Restrict manual redirects to redirect status codes

When an origin returns a non-redirecting 3xx response, such as 300 Multiple Choices without a preferred Location or 304 Not Modified, this broad range sends it through RedirectState::advance() and turns it into a missing-Location error. Those responses were previously returned by the HTTP client rather than followed; limit the manual loop to the redirect statuses it supports (301, 302, 303, 307, and 308) so unrelated 3xx responses do not regress.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the purity statement to the initial URL check.

When a redirect target fails policy, the initial hop has already been sent and dispatch_request has set impure. Rewrite this sentence so only rejection of the original URL is documented as leaving the template pure; redirect-target rejection must be documented as occurring after external I/O.

Cross-file evidence: src/stdlib/network/redirect.rs, Lines 88-106, sets impure before dispatching the first hop.

Clarify initial and redirect policy failures

-Policy failures abort before a network call and leave the template marked pure. Redirect handling applies
+Initial-URL policy failures abort before a network call and leave the template marked pure. Redirect handling applies
...
+Redirect-target policy failures occur after the initial hop and leave the template marked impure.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the complete redirect chain, not each request.

ureq 2.12.1 applies .timeout() to one request, including its automatic redirects. This code creates a new request for each manual hop, so each hop starts a new 60-second timeout. A reachable five-redirect chain can therefore consume approximately six minutes. Track one deadline in RedirectState and pass only the remaining duration to each hop.

Stop the loop when the client disconnects.

When read_request returns 0, serve_fixture_response returns without signalling run_http_server. The loop then calls accept_fixture_connection for the next response. accept_connection returns TcpStream only after accepting a connection and panics when its 10-second deadline expires. One shutdown_listener connection cannot unblock every surplus iteration.

Return a shutdown signal from serve_fixture_response and stop run_http_server when the request read is empty.

-        serve_fixture_response(listener, response, config, requests);

Parameterise the cache modes as named rstest cases.

The checked-in Rust testing guidance requires repeated test scenarios to use #[rstest(...)] cases. The current test invokes the same helper twice in one test. A failure in result.is_err() omits use_cache and stops before the other mode runs.
