feat(nextly): serve only branding to an anonymous caller - #845
Conversation
`/api/admin-meta` answers before a session exists, and it carried every mounted plugin's contributions with it — including each contributed page's and widget's `requiredPermission`. A plugin's permission vocabulary was therefore readable by anyone who could reach the app, and those slugs are the input to every subsequent probe against that plugin. The public route now serializes the branding half alone. What an anonymous caller may read is decided by which half is returned rather than by a list of fields to withhold: a filter has to be extended by whoever adds the next field, and plugin authors choose those fields rather than this package. No component changes. All 24 readers reach this data through `useBranding`, so the provider runs the session-gated request alongside the public one and merges the two. That also puts the workspace half behind a route that can initialise services, which the public one cannot — the config fold it has to use there cannot see a Schema Builder collection at all. `useBrandingStatus().isUnavailable` now reports the WORKSPACE query. Its reader concludes something from a plugin being absent, and the plugin list is in that half, so branding having answered says nothing about whether that conclusion is safe. Also adds /admin/accept-invite to the paths where a 401 on a background query must not redirect. It is a public route, an invited user has no session there, and the redirect discarded the invite token in the URL.

scope: core
Two pages fetched the public admin-meta route for themselves rather than reading the provider: the plugins directory and the installed-plugins table. Both used the provider's own query key, so they consumed its branding-only response without running a request at all — the table rendered empty and the directory marked every installed plugin as uninstalled. The premise that all readers reach this data through one hook was measured by counting textual reads of `branding.plugins` rather than by checking how each one obtains it, which is a different question and had a different answer. Both now read `useBranding()`. The directory waits on `useBrandingStatus().isPending` before drawing install status: until the list arrives every entry looks uninstalled, which tells someone who already has a plugin to go and install it. `isPending` now reports the workspace query alone, matching `isUnavailable`. Both answer whether a plugin's absence is a fact, and the plugin list is in that half — combining them left the reader on a loading state while the only relevant query had settled, hiding a definitive error behind it. The public payload's regression guard now asserts `showBuilder` is absent rather than false, so the boundary stays covered from that suite too.
Every existing case moved both queries together, so a status combining them satisfied all of them: reverting isPending to `brandingPending || workspacePending` left the file green. The new case stalls the public request while the workspace one answers, which is the only shape that separates the two.

…n-in A plugin can contribute components to the sign-in screen, and those read their own `clientConfig` through the SDK hook before a session exists. That channel is public by declaration and holds no secrets, so serving branding alone removed the configuration those components render from — a provider identifier becoming undefined can remove the sign-in flow itself. The public payload now carries a projection built by NAMING its two fields rather than by removing the rest, so a contribution field added later is absent from it by construction. The gated route keeps the full objects. The earlier claim that no pre-session surface reads this data was measured across the auth PAGES. The plugin components rendered into them are a different population and reach it through the SDK, which that measurement could not see. Both plugin pages also regained the states they lost. `useBranding` neither suspends nor throws, so the Suspense and error boundaries around them never fire: an unanswered request rendered the definitive "no plugins installed" view, briefly during a slow load and permanently after a failure. Each page now shows loading and unavailable itself. `InstalledPluginsUnavailable` moved beside its siblings — three pages need it, and a second copy would be a second answer to whether the list can be trusted.

The two halves merge on the client, so putting the public projection under `plugins` let it stand in for the installed list before the gated request answered. The plugin detail page finds its plugin FIRST and checks pending and unavailable only when it found nothing — so a plugin declaring a public config rendered as installed, from a record holding a name and a config and nothing else, and skipped both states on the way. The projection now travels under `pluginClientConfigs`, its own key on the wire and its own field in the context, so the merge cannot conflate them. `plugins` means INSTALLED again, which is what all its readers assume. `usePluginClientConfig` reads the installed list when it has arrived and the public channel otherwise. One expression with a precedence rather than two sources to reconcile: both carry the config, and the gated record is the richer one. Two cases cover what the conflation allowed, with the public config present and the workspace half pending and then failed.

This closes the disclosure.
#840added the session-gated route; this stops the public one serving what it was leaking./api/admin-metaanswers before a session exists, because the sign-in screen draws with it. It also carried every mounted plugin's contributions — including each contributed page's and widget'srequiredPermission. A plugin's permission vocabulary was readable by anyone who could reach the app, and those slugs are the input to every subsequent probe against that plugin.Why this is ~5 files and not ~26
The obvious migration moves 24 components onto a new
usePluginMeta()hook. It isn't necessary: all 24 reach this data through one hook. SoBrandingProviderruns the session-gated request alongside the public one and merges the halves. Every consumer is untouched.Allowlist, not denylist
The public route serializes the branding half, rather than filtering fields out of a merged object. A filter has to be extended by whoever adds the next field — and plugin authors choose those fields, not this package. So a contribution field added later is private by default.
Pinned by a test asserting the whole key set of the public payload, with a population clause so an empty response can't satisfy it:
The correctness win, which I didn't expect
/api/admin-metais served without service initialisation (verified: zeroensureServicesInitializedcalls in that handler), so it has no database read available. That is why plugin ownership is folded from config — and it's why the public route structurally cannot answer correctly for a Schema Builder collection, which exists only indynamic_collections. No config widening closes it.#840gave the workspace routeensureServicesInitialized(). So this isn't only "the same data behind auth" — it's the first route where a correct answer is possible.useBrandingStatus().isUnavailablenow reports the WORKSPACE queryIts reader concludes something from a plugin being absent, and the plugin list is in that half. Branding having answered says nothing about whether that conclusion is safe. New case pins exactly this:
isBrandingUnavailableis added separately for anyone who needs the public half's state.Bug found while auditing, fixed here
/admin/accept-inviteis a public route but was missing fromNO_REDIRECT_PUBLIC_PATHS. An invited user has no session, so a protected background query 401s and bounces them to login — discarding the invite token in the URL. Pre-existing (GeneralSettingsSyncProvideralready fires one there), and this change adds a second, so it's fixed rather than left.That list is a hand-maintained mirror of
