Summary

  • Add an opt-in second listener (dashboardListener in config) that serves only the web dashboard, its static assets, and the management API on an operator-named hostname (for example a Tailscale address). The whole /v1 data plane, its WebSocket upgrades, and /readyz are refused on that socket, so exposing the dashboard never exposes provider credentials or the data plane.
  • Add POST /api/auth/session: the admin token mints a 12-hour HttpOnly SameSite=Strict cookie session with a CSRF token. Safe requests authenticate with the cookie alone; mutations additionally require matching X-OpenCodex-GUI-Origin, Origin, and CSRF headers. The proxy keeps its loopback bind and no API-key provider switch is needed for remote dashboard access.
  • Serve GET /healthz on the dashboard listener: the dashboard overview polls it, and it discloses only the service name and version that the unauthenticated sign-in page already renders.
  • Thread the receiving listener's policy view into handleManagementAPI so the management origin gate follows the listener a request arrived on instead of the shared (typically loopback) proxy config; without this, every management call on a non-loopback dashboard host returned 403 cross-origin request blocked.
  • Port/collision validation for the new listener, reservation of both ports in chooseListenPort, startup logging, rollback of the other listeners if the dashboard bind fails, and documentation (server.md, web-dashboard.md).

Remote sign-in (dashboard served on a non-loopback listener host)

Remote sign-in prompt

Signed in with the admin token (cookie session minted)

Signed-in dashboard over the remote listener

Same dashboard after a page refresh — no re-prompt

Dashboard after refresh without a re-prompt

Verification

  • bun run typecheck passes.
  • bun test tests/dashboard-listener-integration.test.ts tests/dashboard-listener-admission.test.ts — 13 pass, real HTTP servers on both sockets, including a regression that binds the dashboard listener to a non-loopback host while the proxy stays loopback.
  • bun test tests/cli-headless-parity.test.ts — 29 pass; cd gui && bun test tests/api-auth-cookie-session.test.ts — 4 pass.
  • bun run privacy:scan passes (no token logging; the screenshots above were taken against a throwaway config with a placeholder token).
  • Manual end-to-end on Windows over a Tailscale address: sign-in mints the cookie, the dashboard loads, and a page refresh keeps the session with no re-prompt.
  • The full suite on this contended Windows machine hits environment flakes that fail identically on pristine dev; exact-head CI is the authority, so the local-CI box below stays unticked.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

This touches management authentication (cookie sessions, CSRF, origin admission), so flagging it for explicit security review per MAINTAINERS.md.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an optional authenticated dashboard listener with restricted routes, listener-specific management policies, cookie-based GUI sessions, port validation, lifecycle handling, client integration, documentation, and tests.

Changes

Remote dashboard access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dashboard configuration and port allocation
src/types/config.ts, src/config.ts, src/server/ports.ts, src/cli/index.ts, tests/dashboard-listener-admission.test.ts
Adds validated dashboardListener settings. Enabled listeners require a hostname and distinct port. Port selection excludes dashboard and loopback listener ports.
Management policy and cookie sessions
src/server/auth-cors.ts, src/server/management-auth.ts, src/server/management-api.ts
Adds listener-specific origin and CORS policies. Management authentication supports admin-token exchange, HttpOnly cookies, CSRF validation, session metadata, and cookie-or-header credentials.
Dashboard routing and lifecycle
src/server/index.ts, tests/dashboard-listener-integration.test.ts
Adds dashboard and management routing while rejecting /v1/*, WebSocket, and /readyz requests. Tests cover authentication, sessions, CSRF, listener isolation, startup rollback, shutdown, and non-loopback origins.
GUI authentication client
gui/src/api.ts, gui/tests/api-auth-cookie-session.test.ts, gui/tests/api-auth-deadline.test.ts, gui/tests/api-auth-memory.test.ts, tests/cli-headless-parity.test.ts
The GUI probes and waits for cookie-session initialization, attaches origin and CSRF headers, and preserves admin-token fallback behavior.
Dashboard documentation
docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/web-dashboard.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/server.md
Documents configuration, route scope, authentication, session behavior, validation rules, health behavior, and private or tailnet binding guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4672f

This change adds authenticated remote dashboard access with cookie sessions and listener-specific management behavior. An aborted initial management request may remain pending until the session-probe timeout, which can delay or waste a dashboard request; the risk is bounded, so the PR is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up.

Hi @Ingwannu @lidge-jun — the remaining failing gate on this PR is unsponsored_surface, which is maintainer-side by design.

To make the security review easy to scope, the auth-surface delta is:

  • src/server/management-auth.ts — adds the cookie-session arm: POST /api/auth/session mints a 12h HttpOnly SameSite=Strict session (random id + CSRF token, timing-safe compare), admin token required for minting; safe methods authenticate by cookie + Host-derived origin, mutations additionally require matching X-OpenCodex-GUI-Origin, Origin, and CSRF headers. Sessions are process-memory only; nothing is logged.
  • src/server/auth-cors.ts — no behavior change to shared admission: existing helpers gained an import/type only (requestPolicyView now threads per-listener hostname the way [Feature] Make direct-spawn Codex app-server work transparently with wildcard binds #1102 already did for the loopback listener).
  • src/server/management-api.ts — the origin gate now reads the receiving listener's policy view instead of the shared config (this fixes a 403 on every management call from a non-loopback dashboard host; regression test included).

The new dashboard socket refuses the whole /v1 data plane, WebSocket upgrades, and /readyz; the proxy bind and data-plane auth are untouched. Happy to split anything out or answer questions — could one of you take the security review and apply maintainer-sponsored when satisfied?

the description aligned with dashboardRouteAllowed and its intentional GET

In `@tests/dashboard-listener-integration.test.ts`:
- Around line 74-78: Update the test setup around freePort, baseConfig, and
dashboardUrl so the port is probed on the same interface used for dashboard

explicitly configure and fetch 127.0.0.2 when probing that interface. Match the
established pairing shown by the later test.

A dedicated dashboardListener binds a second socket (typically a tailnet address) that serves only the web app, /opencodex-session and /api/*, and refuses the entire /v1 data plane, /healthz and /readyz before any handler runs. The main proxy listener is untouched, so Codex keeps its existing provider and auth mode.

POST /api/auth/session exchanges the admin token for a 12h HttpOnly SameSite=Strict cookie; GET reports the session CSRF material so a page refresh re-arms in-memory headers without re-prompting. Cookie sessions authenticate all management routes: reads bind to the Host-derived origin, mutations additionally require the per-session CSRF token and Origin. The dashboard web app arms these headers from the cookie probe and mints the cookie after a manual admin-token sign-in.

All six CodeRabbit findings are addressed in 4672fd0 (squashed into the PR commit):

  • Rollback isolation (src/server/index.ts): the dashboard-bind rollback now gives server.stop(true) and loopbackServer.stop(true) their own try/catch, so a throw from the first can no longer strand the unauthenticated loopback listener.
  • /healthz disclosure wording (both docs pages + the dashboardListener type comment): corrected to the real payload — service, version, uptime, pid, port, and restart/provider-reload capability flags; operational metadata only, no credentials. Verified against a live listener before rewriting.
  • Caller abort during the pending cookie arm (gui/src/api.ts): the arm wait now races the caller signal and removes the abort listener on settle; added a regression test that aborts mid-arm and requires a prompt AbortError while the arm probe is still pending.
  • Validation branches: added the non-object, string-enabled, and out-of-range-port rejection cases to tests/dashboard-listener-admission.test.ts (they pin the explicit checks that keep the schema from silently dropping a malformed entry as "success").
  • freePort/interface pairing (tests/dashboard-listener-integration.test.ts): the probe and the bind/fetch now use the same interface in both tests.

Local checks: bun run typecheck, bun test tests/dashboard-listener-integration.test.ts tests/dashboard-listener-admission.test.ts (16 pass), cd gui && bun test tests/api-auth-cookie-session.test.ts (5 pass), bun run privacy:scan — all green. Branch is on the current dev tip.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Both pages claim the dashboard listener serves /opencodex-session; that depends on an unverified loopback check. The route allowlist admits the path, but src/server/index.ts line 1598 serves the bootstrap only when issueGuiSession(req, config, managementAuth) at line 1593 returns a session, and it is called with the shared loopback config rather than dashboardPolicy(). If issueGuiSession refuses non-loopback requests, the dashboard listener never serves that path and both sentences overstate the surface. If it does not refuse, the served page would carry a session token for a remote visitor, which is the security question raised on src/server/index.ts lines 865-881.

  • docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/web-dashboard.md#L41-L42: remove "the session bootstrap path /opencodex-session" from the served-surface list, or state the loopback condition under which it is served.
  • docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/server.md#L116-L119: apply the same correction to the identical sentence.

Resolve the issueGuiSession behavior first, then align both sentences with it.

Session endpoints exist on every listener: `POST /api/auth/session` with the admin token in
`X-OpenCodex-API-Key` mints a 12-hour GUI session cookie, and `GET /api/auth/session` returns the
current session's `csrfToken`, `origin`, and `expiresAt`.

Correct the "every listener" claim; the unauthenticated loopback listener refuses these endpoints.

Line 143 states that the session endpoints exist on every listener. That contradicts line 102 of this same document, which states that the unauthenticatedLoopbackListener returns 404 for everything except the four /v1 routes, "including /api/* and the dashboard."

The code agrees with line 102. loopbackRouteAllowed in src/server/index.ts lines 668-683 admits only /v1/responses, /v1/responses/compact, /v1/models, /v1/realtime, and /v1/live. A request to /api/auth/session on that listener is rejected at line 858 before handleGuiSessionEndpoint can run at line 1012.

A reader who enables both listeners would follow line 143 and receive a 404.

Restrict the claim to the proxy listener and the dashboard listener.

Add a case that pins the WebSocket refusal on the dashboard listener.

dashboardRouteAllowed refuses WebSocket upgrades at src/server/index.ts line 699. That branch is one of the three headline refusals in this PR, and no test exercises it.

The current loop only sends plain GET requests. A future edit that moves the path.startsWith("/api/") allow above or below the upgrade check would not fail any test.

Add an upgrade-header case to the same loop.

       for (const path of ["/v1/models", "/v1/responses", "/readyz"]) {
         const res = await fetch(dashboardUrl(dashboardPort, path), {

         });

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Tighten the CSRF assertion so a 403 regression cannot pass.

Line 164 asserts only not.toBe(401). The PR objectives state that management origin validation previously returned 403 for non-loopback dashboard requests, and that management-api.ts now uses the receiving listener's policy to fix it.

handleManagementAPI returns 403 with "cross-origin request blocked" when isAllowedManagementOrigin fails. If that regression returned, this test would still pass, because 403 is not 401.

Assert that the status is neither 401 nor 403. That keeps the assertion tolerant of body-validation statuses while pinning both admission gates.

🧪 Proposed assertion fix
       const withCsrf = await fetch(dashboardUrl(dashboardPort, "/api/settings"), {
         method: "PUT",
         headers: mutationHeaders(session.csrfToken),

       });
