Architecture documentation structure per sdd_process phase 1: - README index (doc table, ADR table, lifecycle), overview with crate map, dependency rules, and security invariants - Component specs: storage, transport, http, ssh, alkgitd (all draft) - ADRs 001-009: crate decomposition, front-door-blind core, V2-first protocol, pack pipeline (data::output generation / data::input ingestion), session substrate types, http adapter composition (proposed, OQ-01), ACL-before-advertisement, registry-resolved repo identity, bounded-resources budgets - open-questions.md: OQ-01..08 with two deferred(scope), one deferred(unclear), door-type definitions, blocker tracker tasks in tasks/architecture/ - v1 ssh-door decision recorded: russh terminates wire SSH in alkgitd; alkcall channels stay the internal substrate (OQ-03 partially resolved) Two review rounds (fresh-context subagent): 4 critical + 17 warnings fixed in round one; zero critical + 4 warnings + 5 suggestions fixed in round two. All ADR/OQ cross-references verified resolving.

# 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 `alkgit-core`.
|
|
- 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.
