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

The crate's highest-value coverage gap: the outbound client's policy stack — the code that protects credentials — has never run against a redirect or a retry on the wire, and forward_stream's terminal arms are dark end-to-end (review 002 COV-11: same_host_redirect_policy 100% dark; COV-10: SSE terminal arms dark). Concretely:

  • CLI-02 (redirect): no test in the crate sends any 3xx. Add: (a) same-host 302 → followed, credential headers forwarded; (b) cross-host 302 → response surfaced (HTTP_302-family), the second endpoint receives zero requests (count at the attacker server) — the FWD-03 property, pinned. Hop-cap (>10) → loud error, third test. The spawn_responder seam at forward.rs:1415-1477 already speaks raw HTTP and can emit location:.
  • CLI-03 (retry): counting-responder tests: POST + 500 ⇒ exactly 1 upstream hit (method gate, :362-366); GET + 500×2 ⇒ 3 hits then success; budget exhaustion (max_total_retry_duration small) stops retries even under a generous attempt cap (:381); PEM parse-failure arms (:487-507) via garbage-PEM files asserting CaBundleParse/ClientCertParse + path (never key material).
  • COV-10 (streaming/forward terminal arms): (a) upstream SSE line

    1 MiB without newline through the real forward_stream → single INTERNAL terminal envelope, stream ends; (b) responder sends data: a\n\n then aborts the socket → terminal error envelope; (c) responder ends without trailing blank line → pending event dispatched at EOF; (d) dead-port transport failure through both forward (:719-722) and forward_stream (:851-853) → INTERNAL envelope; (e) binary application/octet-stream 200 → byte-array envelope (:638-643); (f) application/json 200 with malformed body → INTERNAL decode envelope (:656-658).

  • Plus the small dark arms from COV-12 that live in this seam: ApiKey/Basic malformed-credential loud arms (extend the FWD-08 test family), declared-header-param invalid name/value rejections, and SharedHttpClient::config() reflecting a reloaded config (FWD-12's atomicity assertion).

Acceptance Criteria

  • Redirect: 3 tests (same-host follow, cross-host refuse + zero-contact assert, hop-cap error) passing
  • Retry: 3 tests (POST single-hit, GET retry-to-success with counted hits, budget-bounded) passing
  • TLS: 2 parse-failure tests (CaBundleParse, ClientCertParse) + config()-after-reload assertion
  • Streaming: 6 terminal-arm tests (oversized line, socket abort, EOF-flush, dead-port×2, binary decode, malformed-JSON decode) passing
  • Credential arms: ApiKey/Basic malformed-value tests land
  • cargo test --all-features, cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check pass

Notes

Pure test-addition task (plus any test-seam helpers). Land after the two client behavior tasks so the tests assert final semantics, not interim ones. Slice: (1) redirect tests, (2) retry tests, (3) streaming terminal arms, (4) TLS + config arms — independent commits. If spawn_responder needs a "count requests per host" surface, build it once and reuse — the cross-host zero-contact assertion is the load-bearing one.
