## Description
|
|
|
|
Review 002 FWD-16 [major]. The FWD-08 remediation made every
|
|
*malformed* credential fail loudly, but the **missing-capability arm
|
|
stays silent**: `forward.rs:200-238` —
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
if let Some(scheme) = auth_scheme {
|
|
if let Some(secret) = context.capabilities.get(namespace) {
|
|
// ... four loud arms for malformed names/values
|
|
}
|
|
// capability == None → falls through: the request is sent
|
|
// with NO credential and NO diagnostic
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`Capabilities::get` keys on `api_key:`/`http_token:` prefixes
|
|
(alkcall `core/types.rs:97-107`), so an assembly layer that registered
|
|
the secret under a wrong key form (or forgot) produces corrupted
|
|
upstream 401s at call time with zero local diagnostics. This is the
|
|
*most probable* misconfiguration shape and the one inconsistent arm in
|
|
an otherwise-loud match — every other arm was made loud by review-001's
|
|
FWD-08 fix (tested at forward.rs:1646-1736).
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [ ] When `auth_scheme.is_some()` and the capability is absent, the
|
|
request is NOT sent; the caller gets an `INTERNAL`-family error
|
|
naming the missing capability key (e.g. "capability
|
|
`http_token:{namespace}` is absent; refusing to send the request
|
|
unauthenticated") — message contains no secret material
|
|
- [ ] When `auth_scheme.is_none()` the behavior is unchanged
|
|
(unauthenticated ops stay unauthenticated)
|
|
- [ ] Wire test: authed op, empty capabilities → error envelope (and
|
|
the test asserts via the existing `spawn_responder`-style seam
|
|
that the upstream received zero requests)
|
|
- [ ] Existing FWD-08 loud-arm tests unchanged and passing
|
|
- [ ] Doc note in the module doc: the loud-missing matrix now covers
|
|
malformed name/value AND absent capability
|
|
- [ ] `cargo test`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`,
|
|
`cargo fmt --check` pass
|

## Notes
|
|
|
|
Error class choice: `INTERNAL` (misconfiguration, not caller fault) —
|
|
matches the FWD-08 precedent. Non-retryable, since re-sending cannot
|
|
succeed without the assembly layer changing. If a deployment legitimately
|
|
runs authed-ops with *optionally*-present credentials (none known
|
|
today), that would be a new config flag — do not preemptively add one;
|
|
the invariant (ADR-014: credentials flow only via Capabilities) argues
|
|
loud-and-closed. |
