Summary

  • claim a token-owned singleton D1 lock before creating the first owner
  • recover stale locks after five minutes and prevent an old owner from releasing a replacement lock
  • rate limit the unauthenticated bootstrap endpoint by Cloudflare client IP
  • cover concurrent claims and stale-lock recovery with Worker integration tests

This replaces the security part of #20. The original issue was identified by @MRZHUH.

The receive-only behavior is separate in #64 with documentation in HQBase/hqbase-site#24.

Verification

  • CI=true WRANGLER_LOG_PATH=/tmp/hqbase-pr20-security-check-final.log pnpm check
  • CI=true WRANGLER_LOG_PATH=/tmp/hqbase-pr20-security-dry-run-final.log pnpm deploy:dry-run

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Prevented multiple setup processes from running simultaneously.
    • Added automatic lock renewal during setup and recovery for expired locks.
    • Added rate limiting to setup requests, allowing up to five attempts per 15 minutes.
    • Restricted setup requests to direct clients with a valid client IP.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Ensured locks are released safely after provisioning or errors.
    • Prevented previous lock owners from releasing replacement locks.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for setup security, concurrency, expiration, renewal, and recovery.

Bootstrap protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bootstrap lock contract and validation
worker/features/setup/bootstrap-lock.ts, test/integration/worker/setup-bootstrap-lock.test.ts, test/unit/worker/features/setup/bootstrap-security.test.ts
The lock helpers claim, renew, and release token-owned app_settings locks. Tests cover concurrent claims, expiration, stale-owner protection, active renewal, and heartbeat timing.
Bootstrap service lock lifecycle
worker/features/setup/service.ts
bootstrapSetup claims a lock before provisioning, maintains it with heartbeat renewals, and stops and releases it in finally.
Bootstrap request validation and rate limiting
worker/features/setup/routes.ts, test/unit/worker/features/setup/bootstrap-security.test.ts
The /bootstrap route rejects Worker-originated or unidentified requests and limits each direct client IP to five requests per 15 minutes before processing.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 48f11

Bootstrap requests can still act on stale setup state, and an expired lease can allow overlapping owners to provision the same workspace, creating incorrect or conflicting setup results. The PR is not merge-ready until these concurrency cases are addressed or explicitly accepted.

inclusive boundary, so locks exactly five minutes old are eligible for recovery
while newer locks remain active.
- Around line 4-22: Ensure the lease acquired by claimBootstrapLock remains
valid for the full bootstrapSetup flow, including the external signUpOwnerUser
call, by using a lifetime covering the maximum duration or implementing reliable
token-scoped renewal. Add a lifecycle test where the first bootstrap runs past
the lease and verifies a second bootstrap cannot start concurrently.

In `@worker/features/setup/routes.ts`:
- Around line 92-98: Update the setup bootstrap route around the
CF-Connecting-IP extraction and enforceRateLimit call to reject requests
carrying the CF-Worker marker, and reject missing or empty client IP values
rather than falling back to "unknown"; preserve rate limiting for valid IPs and
add tests covering both rejection cases.

In `@worker/features/setup/service.ts`:
- Around line 54-116: Re-check setup status immediately after claimBootstrapLock
succeeds and before any provisioning work, keeping both existing status
validations inside the try block; preserve releaseBootstrapLock in finally. Add
an integration test covering a second request that waits for the first lock
holder to finish, then verifies the post-lock status check prevents duplicate
owner or setup records.

Add coverage for the lost-claim path.

renewBootstrapLock throws SETUP_LOCK_LOST when the stored value_json no longer matches the token. No test exercises that branch. The service depends on it to stop work after another request takes the lock.

💚 Proposed test
+  it("reports a lost claim when another request takes the lock", async () => {
+    const first = await claimBootstrapLock(env.DB, new Date("2026-08-22T12:00:00.000Z"));

77-84: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial

Plan a recovery path for a half-provisioned bootstrap.

The renewal at Line 84 runs after signUpOwnerUser creates the owner. If the claim was lost during that external call, heartbeat.renew() throws and the request stops. Mail domains and the owner user remain. The primary domain, mailboxes, and completion flag do not. A later bootstrap request then fails at the existing.userCount > 0 check on Line 57, so the workspace cannot finish setup through the product.

This state was reachable before this PR through any failure inside signUpOwnerUser, so it does not block this change. Consider an operational answer: a documented reset procedure, or a resume path that accepts an existing owner when setup is incomplete.

66-75: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Stop the interval after the first renewal failure.

If a renewal fails, failure is recorded, but the interval continues. Each later tick issues another UPDATE that cannot succeed, because the stored value_json no longer matches this token. The writes continue until the caller calls stop(). Clearing the timer on the first failure removes these writes.

♻️ Proposed refactor
   let pending = Promise.resolve();
   let failure: unknown;
+  let timer: ReturnType<typeof setInterval>;
   const enqueueRenewal = () => {
     const renewal = pending.then(() => renewBootstrapLock(db, lock));
     pending = renewal.catch((error: unknown) => {
       failure ??= error;
+      clearInterval(timer);
     });
     return renewal;
   };
-  const timer = setInterval(() => {
+  timer = setInterval(() => {
     void enqueueRenewal().catch(() => undefined);
   }, intervalMs);

Assert the bound renewal parameters.

bind ignores its arguments and first always returns a matching row. The test therefore passes even if the heartbeat renews with the wrong key or a wrong token. Assert the bound arguments to lock the contract. Consider a second case where first returns a mismatched value_json, so stop() rethrows SETUP_LOCK_LOST.

       await vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync(250);
       await heartbeat.stop();
