glm-5.3-flash e2c255d40c docs(tasks): decompose review-002 into 24 tasks (23 implementation + 1 bracketed follow-up)
Decomposition of docs/reviews/002-post-remediation-review.md per its
5-unit remediation plan:

- Unit 1 (security-critical): gw15-publish-body-cap,
  prj16-schema-via-call (CF-004 filed alkcall-side), fwd13-dot-segments,
  fwd16-missing-capability, oai11-ref-memoization
- Unit 2 (timeout/terminality): ws13-idle-progress,
  fwd15-stream-timeout, cli01-retry-after-budget, con17-mcp-pagination,
  con18-wss-sweep-exit
- Unit 3 (projection/docs): projection-truthfulness, mcp-batch-cap,
  gw16-status-drift
- Unit 4 (spec-import): yaml-normalization, oai13-path-item-wildcards,
  import-loudness-cluster, js01-placeholder-check,
  fwd17-19-contract-decisions
- Unit 5 (WS polish + tests): con18b-ws-polish,
  client-policy-wire-tests, cov-deployment-knobs, cov13-dead-code,
  srv11-srv12-router-ordering
- review-002-bracketed-followup: tentatively planned post-bulk pass
  (stale-check, OQA-18 enforcement decision, CON-08/09 close() lever,
  cross-crate re-checks) — deliberately not serialized against the
  bulk

Also: review-002 numbering repair (CON-14 was double-booked; MCP
pagination now CON-14, from_wss monitor renumbered CON-18, missing
CON-14 section added).

taskgraph: 66 valid, no cycles; 24 pending (all review-002);
gen-1/gen-2 parallel waves identified; workflow-cost hotspots are
prj16 (12.8) and ws13 (11.1), both carrying the reviewed slicing
guidance in their Notes.

Description

Review 002 FWD-13 [major, security]. Lone ./.. path-parameter values survive the PATH_VALUE_ENCODE_SET (which has no .) and are silently normalized away by Url::set_path — empirically reproduced against the locked url 2.5.8:

  • set_path("/tenants/../admin")/admin
  • set_path("/files/..")/
  • set_path("/repos/%2e%2e/x")/x (so adding %2e to the encode set would NOT fix it — the parser normalizes every case-insensitive spelling)

Scenario: template /tenants/{tenant}/resources with peer input tenant = ".." → the upstream receives /resources — a different (east commonly less-scoped, list-everything) endpoint than the template describes, with the namespace's injected credentials attached. The existing dot-segment test (traversal_value_cannot_escape_template_path, forward.rs:1155) only covers the multi-segment ../../admin form the encoder does catch. The origin check in assemble_request_url (:520-522) cannot catch this — the origin never changes.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Rendered path values that are exactly . or .. (case-insensitive, including %2e spellings before encoding) are rejected with a loud INVALID_INPUT-family CallError — the cleanest point is value_to_path_segment / render_path_template
  • A post-set_path invariant assert (decoded path segments = base_dir + rendered segments, byte-identical) protects against future normalizer surprises (implementer's choice: debug_assert + loud runtime check, or a property test with a dot/percent/binary corpus)
  • Tests: lone .. value → error; lone . value → error; %2e%2e spelling → error; a legitimate segment containing a dot (v1.2.3, .hidden-file as a value) still works (the rejection is exact-match, not substring)
  • Existing traversal/encoding tests unchanged and passing
  • cargo test, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check pass

References

  • docs/reviews/002-post-remediation-review.md (Part D', FWD-13)
  • src/adapters/forward.rs:340-352 (encode set lacking .), :413-448 (renderer), :481-531 (set_path + origin check), :1155 (the test family)
  • tasks/adapters/review-001-forward-url-safety.md (the FWD-01 fix this completes — one case short)

Notes

The error message must not echo the raw value's neighbor inputs (no spec/content leakage beyond the parameter name — follow the existing message style in render_path_template's unbound-placeholder error). FWD-18 (object/array placeholder values double-routing to query) is tracked separately in review-002-fwd17-19-contract-decisions — do not fold it here, the mechanisms are adjacent but the decisions differ.
