Stacked on #41 (docs/artifacthub-listing); merge #41 first. Builds what docs/implementer-feedback.md asks for. Its "krm-foyer's answer" table gives the result per entry.

1. /auth/check, with identity for a domain backend

  • GET /auth/check answers 204 when the browser may make the request the ingress forwards, and otherwise the 401/403 that /k8s would give. It judges the forwarded request: X-Forwarded-Method, so a write needs the session's CSRF proof, and X-Forwarded-Uri/X-Original-Uri, validated like return_to.
  • ?redirect=true: a signed-out page load gets a 302 to the login, absolute on the public URL. Traefik resolves a relative Location against the check's own address; the e2e suite found this.
  • ?identity=true: the 204 carries Krm-Foyer-Identity, base64url JSON with the API server's userInfo and the session's displayName and connector. It never carries a token. The SelfSubjectReview behind it is reused per token for 30 s.

2. Routing recipes

  • Traefik IngressRoute with ForwardAuth runs in the fixture, next to the Gateway API routes. Specs cover a forged Krm-Foyer-Identity, CSRF, the 401 for a script, and a page load through login and back.
  • nginx auth_request now runs too, as the document has it. front-door.sh copies the recipe's blocks out of docs/ingress.md into an nginx in front of krm-foyer.
  • Fix: the nginx recipe lost the page's query. It used return_to=$request_uri unencoded, so /admin/edit?name=x&tab=history came back as /admin/edit?name=x, %26 and + were decoded twice, and a page parameter named oidc.login_hint was sent to the issuer. The recipe now encodes the page with njs. Red before the fix, 5 cases; green after.

3. A browser identity, now failing closed

  • One person gets two usernames, chosen by the token's client: oidc: for krm-foyer, kubectl: for the command line.

  • Fix (security): unknown or ambiguous clients got the command line's name. The first recipe gave every token that was not plainly krm-foyer's the kubectl: prefix. Against the real API server:

    • aud: ["krm-foyer"] without azp was named kubectl:alice;
    • azp: another-browser was named kubectl:alice;
    • with the kubectl: groups in both cases.

    The client is now azp, which must be a string and one of the audiences, or a single audience. Each known client is a key in a map; anything else misses the map and is refused, and a validation rule says why. The same rules are in the fixture and in docs/application-scope.md.

  • Evidence: 11 new cases failed before the fix, 10 of them as kubectl: with kubectl:admins. They pass after, and still pass with the validation rule removed. A real Dex cross-client token (aud: [kubectl, krm-foyer], azp: krm-foyer) stays oidc:.

4. Room Pass's QR login, run end to end

  • The fixture runs Room Pass 2.0.0 (released image by digest, its CRDs, a Room) behind its own Dex with the authproxy connector, on two hosts through Traefik. The shared application host carries a third krm-foyer, Room Pass's /join, and a test app whose /join-room sets the join cookie. The issuer host is trusted by the API server under Room Pass's reference rules. Everything Room Pass's is in the fixture; krm-foyer uses only generic login settings.
  • A Chromium spec covers the whole journey:
    • it follows the QR link from another site;
    • Room Pass shows the code as scanned, with no code field (the silent fallback);
    • it enters a display name and returns to the app's page;
    • connector: room-pass and the display metadata appear in /auth/session;
    • the identity and both attribution extras appear in a write's audit event;
    • the session survives a pod replacement;
    • both logouts work, each by its own contract;
    • no credential or join code shows up in browser traffic or in the edge's, krm-foyer's or Room Pass's logs.
  • Mutation-checked: SameSite=Strict, a deleted NetworkPolicy and an enabled access log on /join-room each make it fail. A second spec shows only Room Pass can reach Dex, and that forged X-Remote-* headers get no code.
  • docs/room-pass.md was corrected where running it disagreed. Room Pass signs out with a form on /join, not a redirect to /logout. A typed URL carries even a Strict cookie. The display name arrives folded. The QR URL must not be logged by the edge.

5. The rehearsal's intermittent i/o timeout

  • Diagnosed as a fixture/harness defect, not krm-foyer. After a pod replacement, kube-proxy leaves TCP conntrack entries that point at the gone pod, and the suite's single client reuses those ports within the two minutes the entries live. Bursts of 1,800 after a replacement lost 44 to 239 dials per three bursts; in steady state 8,000 at once lose none.
  • replaceFoyer now forgets the gone pod's entries, as kube-proxy does for UDP. With that: 0 timeouts in every round. The 200-identity × 9-stream workload and the dial timeout are unchanged.
  • A rollout that never leaves a connection unanswered is parked (not needed for the demo): docs/investigations/rollout-connections.md and a pending spec.

Fixture

  • The issuer names for pods now live in coredns-custom, and the node's /etc/hosts is rewritten on every run. Both used to be lost when the API server restarted.
  • Four pending ingress specs that the new specs prove were dropped.
  • A local fixture needs task e2e-down before task test-e2e, because the API server's authentication config changed.

Validation

  • task verify from a fresh fixture (task e2e-down first) is green at 240e3e3: tidy, vendor, lint, race tests, fuzzing, image smoke, and the full e2e suite (358 s), including the Room Pass journey and both rehearsals.
  • Red before green for each fix: P1 had 11 failing cases, P2 had 5, and the rehearsal bursts lost 44 to 239 dials without the cleanup and none with it.
  • Mutation checks, each of which made a spec fail as it should:
    • the P1 validation rule removed (the specs still pass, since the map lookup also refuses: that is the point being checked);
    • SameSite=Strict on the join cookie;
    • the Dex NetworkPolicy deleted;
    • the access log turned on for /join-room.
  • The fixture changes the API server's authentication config and adds an issuer alias, so a local fixture needs task e2e-down before task test-e2e.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Builds what Voter's implementer feedback asks for:

- GET /auth/check for an ingress's forward-auth: 204, or the refusal /k8s
  would give for the request the ingress forwards (X-Forwarded-Method, with
  the CSRF and origin rules for a write), or with ?redirect=true a 302 to the
  login at the public URL for a page load. With ?identity=true the 204 carries
  Krm-Foyer-Identity: the API server's userInfo from a SelfSubjectReview with
  the user's token, reused per token for 30 seconds, plus the session's
  displayName and connector. Never the token.
- The Traefik recipe made real in the e2e fixture: an IngressRoute with
  ForwardAuth middlewares beside the Gateway API routes, with specs that forge
  the identity header, write without CSRF proof and load a gated page signed
  out, all through Traefik.
- A browser identity in the cluster's authentication config: krm-foyer's
  tokens and the command line's get different usernames by authorized party,
  proved by one e2e spec.
- Recipes for nginx auth_request and a Vite dev-server proxy, and for Room
  Pass's QR login through krm-foyer (not yet run end to end).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add /auth/check with optional API-server identity headers, cache eligible identity reviews, and wire the endpoint into the server. They add ingress fixtures and tests, configure separate browser and CLI identities in the e2e cluster, add a Room Pass QR-login fixture, and update related documentation.

Changes

Ingress authentication and forwarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Check handler and identity lookup
internal/auth/check.go, internal/auth/check_test.go, internal/server/*, internal/stream/*, cmd/krm-foyer/main.go
GET /auth/check validates forwarded request data and session access, supports page-load redirects, and can return an identity header. Identity lookup reuses bounded, expiring SelfSubjectReview results.
Forward-auth recipes and route fixtures
docs/ingress.md, docs/design.md, test/e2e/cluster/traefik-*, test/e2e/cluster/nginx-*, test/e2e/cluster/hello-web-nginx.conf
The ingress guide documents Vite, Traefik, and nginx recipes, including identity propagation and login gates. The e2e fixtures configure Traefik and nginx routes and backend responses.
Ingress end-to-end validation
test/e2e/foyer_check_test.go, test/e2e/foyer_nginx_test.go, test/e2e/browser_test.go, test/e2e/fixture_test.go, test/e2e/cluster/front-door.sh, test/e2e/cluster/deploy-foyer.sh, test/e2e/cluster/foyer_auth_test.go
E2e tests exercise identity forwarding, CSRF checks, logout, login redirects, and return-path handling through both ingress transports.

Client-scoped browser and CLI identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client mapping and fixture setup
test/e2e/cluster/authentication-config.yaml, test/e2e/cluster/dex.yaml, test/e2e/cluster/start-cluster.sh, test/e2e/fixture_test.go
The e2e API-server configuration maps krm-foyer and kubectl clients to separate username and group prefixes. The fixture defines both clients and exposes mapped groups for tests.
Identity authorization tests and documentation
test/e2e/foyer_scope_test.go, docs/application-scope.md
Tests check client claim resolution, identity prefixes, and group-based access. The application-scope guide documents the mapping rules and their limits.

Room Pass QR login

Layer / File(s) Summary
Room Pass fixture and QR flow tests
test/e2e/cluster/foyer-room-values.yaml, test/e2e/cluster/room-pass/*, test/e2e/room_pass_test.go, cmd/krm-foyer/chart_test.go, Taskfile.yml
The e2e fixture provisions Room Pass, Dex, the room application, routes, and an additional krm-foyer release. Browser tests cover QR handoff, session and authorization behavior, logout, and credential exposure.
Room Pass integration contract
docs/room-pass.md, README.md, docs/testing.md, docs/implementer-feedback.md, docs/roadmap.md
Documentation describes the join-code cookie and redirect, OIDC claims, routing, logout behavior, and fixture coverage.

Fixture networking and rollout support

Layer / File(s) Summary
E2E network and rollout support
test/e2e/cluster/start-cluster.sh, test/e2e/fixture_test.go, test/e2e/foyer_rollout_test.go, docs/testing.md, docs/investigations/rollout-connections.md, docs/roadmap.md
The fixture configures issuer DNS through node hosts and CoreDNS and removes stale conntrack entries after pod replacement. A pending rollout spec and investigation document rollout connection behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 240e3

The e2e fixture and the published application-scope recipe would reject a browser token whose azp is outside aud, which is the shape Dex issues for cross-client requests. Fix the mapping, validation rule and docs, and add a test case for that shape, before merging. The impact is limited to the fixture and documentation.

start-cluster.sh restarts the server container when the API server's
configuration changes. Docker rewrites the container's /etc/hosts on a
restart and k3s rewrites CoreDNS's NodeHosts, so both lost the aliases
k3d's --host-alias wrote once at creation: the API server could no longer
find Dex or the test issuer, every token was refused, and only
task e2e-down recovered. The script now puts the aliases back itself on
every run, and new aliases no longer need a new cluster.

The browser identity recipe compared the token's client with krm-foyer and
gave every other token the command line's prefix. A list audience without
azp, or an azp naming another client, therefore got the command-line name
and its groups: against the fixture's real API server, aud ["krm-foyer"]
was kubectl:alice, and aud krm-foyer with azp another-browser too.

The client is now azp, which must be a string and one of the audiences, or
else the audience, a string or a list of one. Each client the cluster knows
is a key of a map with its prefix; any other client, or a token whose
client is in doubt, misses the map and is refused, and a validation rule
says why. The fixture and docs/application-scope.md use the same rules, and
the suite mints every form against the real API server: 11 of the new
cases failed before (10 named kubectl: with kubectl:admins), and all pass
now, also with the validation rule removed.

The test issuer accepts the command line's audience as Dex does, so the
suite can mint what either client receives.

The nginx recipe in docs/ingress.md put the raw request target into the
login link's query unencoded: return_to=$request_uri. The page's own
query then became the login's: /admin/edit?name=x&tab=history came back
as /admin/edit?name=x, %26 and + were decoded once too often, and a page
parameter named return_to or oidc.login_hint became krm-foyer's own, the
last one sent on to the issuer.

The recipe now encodes the page as one value with njs, which the
official nginx images include, and keeps the redirect relative. The e2e
fixture runs the recipe as the document has it: front-door.sh copies the
recipe's blocks out of docs/ingress.md into an nginx in front of
krm-foyer, and a spec walks a login from gated pages with several
parameters, percent-encoding and a literal plus, and parameters named
like the login's own, and checks the backend receives the page as asked.
Five of its cases failed against the old text and pass now; a page
starting with two slashes is still refused by krm-foyer's local-path
check.

Dex adds the asking client to a token's audiences when it asks for another
client's with the cross-client scope, and makes it azp. The fixture's
kubectl client now trusts krm-foyer as a peer, and the browser identity
spec asks Dex for such a token: aud [kubectl, krm-foyer], azp krm-foyer,
which the API server names oidc:alice and refuses the command line's
grant.

The suggested order's first step, the operator-only pilot, now names the
ValidatingAdmissionPolicy that keeps a CoffeeConfig save to spec, which
the same page lists under Voter's own work: through /k8s the editor's
patch grant also reaches labels and annotations, which gitops-reverser
would commit. (CodeRabbit, on #41.)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four pending specs under "behind an ingress" are proved by specs that
exist now: the login gate and its return path by foyer_check_test.go
(Traefik) and foyer_nginx_test.go (the nginx recipe, with a page that is
not a local path refused), and the shared origin by the Gateway's and the
nginx recipe's tripwires. "Answers /auth/check with a status only" no
longer describes the design: the check answers identity when asked, and
never the token. Two remain: the redirect URI and CSRF origin against a
forged Host, and unbuffered watch events.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The e2e fixture now runs Room Pass 2.0.0 (its released image, by digest,
and its CRDs) behind its own Dex with the authproxy connector, on two
hosts through Traefik: room.localhost, shared by a third krm-foyer, Room
Pass's /join, /bind and /logout, and a test application whose /join-room
sets Room Pass's join cookie; and room-pass.localhost, the issuer, which
the API server trusts as a third JWT issuer under Room Pass's reference
rules. Everything Room Pass's is in the fixture; krm-foyer-room has only
the chart's generic login settings.

A Chromium spec follows the QR URL from a link on another site, and
checks Room Pass's join page shows the code as scanned, with no code
field: the silent fallback the shared host risks. It types a display
name, arrives back at the application's page, and checks connector
room-pass and the display metadata in /auth/session, the Kubernetes
identity and both attribution extras in the audit event of a write, a
pod replacement, krm-foyer's logout and Room Pass's own sign-out form,
and no credential or join code in what the browser saw or in the logs of
the edge, krm-foyer and Room Pass. The spec fails with SameSite=Strict on
the join cookie, and with the join route's access log on. A second spec
shows only Room Pass can reach Dex (and fails without the NetworkPolicy),
and that forged X-Remote-* headers never get a code from Dex.

Running it corrected docs/room-pass.md: Room Pass signs out with a form on
its /join, not by a redirect to /logout; a typed URL carries even a
Strict cookie; the display name arrives folded; and the edge must not log
the QR URL.

start-cluster.sh maps room-pass.localhost to a fixed address in front of
Traefik for the API server and pods.

The previous commit patched CoreDNS's NodeHosts, which does not exist yet
on a new cluster (CI failed on it) and which k3s rewrites at every start.
The names now go into a CoreDNS server block in the coredns-custom
ConfigMap, which k3s's Corefile imports and k3s leaves alone; the node's
/etc/hosts is still written on every run, after any restart.

The rehearsal's 1,800 connections at once sometimes failed with
"dial tcp ...:30443: i/o timeout". The NodePort itself takes 8,000 at
once with no loss. The timeouts follow a replacement of krm-foyer's pod:
kube-proxy leaves TCP conntrack entries that point at the gone pod, and a
later connection from the same client port follows one to an address
nobody answers. The suite, one client making thousands of connections a
minute, reuses ports within the two minutes those entries live. Measured
on the fixture: after a rollout restart or a forced delete, 44 to 239
timeouts in three bursts of 1,800; with the gone pod's entries removed
first, none, in every round.

replaceFoyer now removes the node's entries for krm-foyer's NodePort that
lead to a pod that no longer exists, as kube-proxy does for UDP. The
workload and the dial timeout are unchanged.

A rollout that leaves no connection unanswered is parked, not needed for
the demo: docs/investigations/rollout-connections.md records the
measurements, what was tried (a shutdown delay, not kept) and a pending
spec.

On a new cluster the Service room-pass-issuer, created late, found
10.43.200.12 already handed out to another Service. It now takes
10.43.0.212, from the start of the Service range that Kubernetes keeps
for fixed addresses.
