Structural decision (OQ-09 resolved): alkgit follows the alktty/ alktunnels template — a single published protocol crate on alkcall channels, no binary, no front doors. - ADR-010 supersedes ADR-001 (crate decomposition) and ADR-006 (http router factory); both marked Superseded - Single crate at repo root: Cargo.toml with gix feature (default-on backend implementations; wire layer compiles without it — gix-hash always-on with sha1 per the compile-time-rejected invariant), crates/ workspace deleted, src/lib.rs stub in place - doors.md replaces http.md/ssh.md/alkgitd.md: alkhttp git-feature sequencing (after first publish), alkssh requirement (fixed-grammar exec dispatch), native alk/git path, downstream assembly - backend.md replaces storage.md: GitRegistry/GitRefs/GitPackGen/ GitPackIngest traits (ingest validates, refs commits — single CAS home), gix feature encodes POC-2 prerequisites - transport.md reframed for the single crate; backend traits replace hook traits in the public API - OQ-09 resolved (all five sub-decisions in ADR-010), OQ-01 resolved (subsumed), OQ-03 narrowed to publish-freeze, OQ-08 narrowed to registry identity + vault placement, OQ-07 rescoped to the gix feature's registry impl - vision.md v2: single-binary/monorepo framing corrected as init-agent artifact; POC checklist marked complete - AGENTS.md + .opencode agent specs updated to the new shape Verification: cargo build (default + no-default-features), cargo test --all-features, clippy --all-features -D warnings, fmt --check all pass. Third review round: zero critical, all warnings/suggestions addressed (GitPackGen signature amended in ADR-004, stale anchors fixed, ADR-006 body tense normalized, CAS split stated, vision residuals cleaned).

# ADR-008: Wire repo names are registry IDs, never paths
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
Accepted
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Repo names arrive on the wire in three shapes: the git:// first-request
|
|
line (`git-upload-pack '<repo>'\0host=…`), the ssh exec command string
|
|
(`git-upload-pack '<repo>'`), and the http path segment
|
|
(`/<repo>/info/refs`). All three are attacker-controlled. Treating them as
|
|
filesystem paths (even with ad-hoc sanitization) is the classic git-server
|
|
traversal bug — and `docs/research/git-protocol.md` §"Security-relevant
|
|
protocol notes" flags exactly this.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Wire-supplied repo names are **IDs**: opaque registry keys resolved
|
|
server-side to configured storage roots.
|
|
|
|
- The registry is alkgit's authoritative (repo id → storage root +
|
|
visibility + ACL scope) mapping, owned by the `GitRegistry` backend trait.
|
|
- Resolution failure and authorization failure are indistinguishable to
|
|
the caller (ADR-007 step 2's no-existence-oracle rule).
|
|
- Wire names are never joined, normalized, or canonicalized into paths.
|
|
Path construction happens only from registry-resolved roots.
|
|
- The same never-execute rule covers the ssh exec command string: it is
|
|
*parsed* (fixed grammar: service name + quoted repo argument), never
|
|
interpreted by a shell and never passed to a subprocess (convention 6's
|
|
no-shelling-out invariant). Unknown commands get a fixed refusal.
|
|
- The registry's own backing store is a separate decision (OQ-06).
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Path traversal is structurally impossible on the serving path.
|
|
- Repo renames/migrations are registry edits, not filesystem moves (the
|
|
storage root indirection absorbs them).
|
|
- The registry must be available (or cached) at session start; its
|
|
unavailability is a config/ops error surfaced as session failure, never
|
|
a path-guessing fallback.
