Summary

Implements the control plane part of the single-endpoint design: the control plane now accepts every connection on its current HTTP port. A small connection classifier looks at the start of each new connection without consuming it and gives it to the gRPC server or to the HTTP server that run today, so the middleware chain, the authentication and the gRPC-Web wrapper do not change.

Which port is the single endpoint — decided with the repository owner. During implementation the original spec choice (D-002: gRPC port) was revisited and flipped with the owner: the single endpoint is the current HTTP port (server.http.addr — cp.chainloop.dev/infoz and friends become THE endpoint, serving HTTP, gRPC-Web and native gRPC), and the gRPC port becomes the deprecated legacy listener. The decision and rationale are recorded in the spec PR (comment); D-002 will be superseded through br:eng-spec --revise. The classifier is port-agnostic, so this is a wiring change, not a redesign.

  • pkg/httpgrpcmux: connection-level classifier. Matches every native gRPC content type, including parameters, and excludes gRPC-Web. A client that stalls waiting for the server to speak first is unblocked with an empty SETTINGS frame after a short grace period; its acknowledgement is consumed from the replay — including when it arrives after the first request (HTTP-classified connections wait bounded; gRPC-classified ones hand off immediately). Classification runs under one absolute deadline (reads and writes), a per-connection byte budget, an aggregate 256 MiB budget including payload-allocation reservations, a frame-count cap, decoded-header-list caps against HPACK amplification, and admission control (shedding beyond 8192 in-flight classifications). Recoverable accept errors retry with backoff.
  • The single port binds server.http.addr and terminates TLS from the new server.http.tls_config, offering HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 through ALPN, so one certificate covers all protocols (R-004). A partial tls_config is a hard startup error.
  • The legacy gRPC listener stays on by default behind the renamed server.legacy_grpc_listener flag (R-006, unreleased field), with a deprecation warning at startup; it keeps its own TLS settings for backward compatibility.
  • The HTTP server now also speaks plain HTTP/2 (h2c) natively, serves with a 60s ReadHeaderTimeout (HTTP/1.x), and forwards native-gRPC requests that arrive on HTTP-owned HTTP/2 connections to the gRPC server (same middleware chain).
  • No Helm chart changes in this PR; existing CLI configurations and the control plane connection to the CAS keep working — the cp-api ingress only changes its backend port when the legacy port retires (R-005).

Reviews

Four model review rounds (GPT-6.1 Sol ×2, GPT-6.1 Sol Pro, Kimi K3) plus cubic ran against this PR. Sixteen correctness/security findings and four cubic findings were confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test — notably: the mux joins the application lifecycle; the injected SETTINGS' ACK is consumed from the replay in both orderings; parser bounds (decoded-header caps, byte budgets with allocation reservations, frame cap, deadlines, admission control); accept-loop recovery; dispatcher-owned listener shutdown; delayed-ACK protocol soundness for HTTP connections. Dispositions with per-finding tests: round 1, security, round 3. The Kimi K3 round verified all seven fix areas correct and flagged the shutdown race fixed in this revision, plus minor hardening items tracked below.

The security review verified explicitly: no auth/authz bypass in either HTTP→gRPC path, no cross-client request smuggling, and no cleartext h2c against a TLS-configured listener. The security-context priors for the touched files were re-confirmed (comment).

Spec notes

Spec in #3629, ticket #3628 — milestone 1, control plane only.

  • D-002 superseded (see the decision above): the spec PR carries the change; this PR implements it.
  • Parity coverage (R-002): server-level tests cover native gRPC, HTTP/1.1, h2c, gRPC-Web, native gRPC on an HTTP-owned connection, the legacy flag on/off (legacy = native gRPC only, not the HTTP API), and one TLS certificate negotiating h2 and h1.1. The full auth-matrix parity suite (token types, suspended org, validation errors) is follow-up work in this ticket.
  • TLS identity metadata (Request.TLS, gRPC AuthInfo) is not surfaced through the handoff yet; the security review found no consumer for it in the codebase. Follow-up in this ticket. HTTP/2 header-completion protection is likewise a follow-up (the 60s timeout covers HTTP/1.x).

Checklist

  • go build ./...
  • go test ./app/controlplane/... ./pkg/... (race-enabled for the new packages)
  • golangci-lint clean on the changed packages
  • CI green (tests, lint, CodeQL, DCO)
  • Four independent model review rounds + cubic, all findings dispositioned
  • Reviews approved

Change Summary

  • Implements control-plane single-endpoint muxing, first on the gRPC port and later flipped to the HTTP port.
  • Reworks server wiring, legacy-listener config, TLS handling, and the PR/spec narrative around the HTTP-port decision.
  • Adds regression tests and follow-up fixes from multiple review rounds, including shutdown-race and empty-address handling.

AI Session Overall Score

🟡 60% — Responsive execution, but alignment drift and self-reported verification claims need reviewer attention.

P1 0745e30 · CWE-598 · PARTIAL FIX

Fixes a real auth-flow flaw where browser login callbacks carried reusable session JWTs in `?t=` and recipients accepted them verbatim; it replaces that path with a verifier-bound handoff-code exchange for upgraded clients.
1 file · Only part of the flaw was repaired here — the rest was never fixed. Sink: crafCallbackURL(, q.Set("t", userToken), r.URL.Query().Get("t").

The commit fixes a real access-control bug where project-scoped API tokens were minted with org-wide registered-integration and robot-account-create privileges.
1 file · The repair spans several commits, so this one is not the whole fix. Sink: /controlplane.v1.IntegrationsService/DescribeRegistration, /controlplane.v1.IntegrationsService/ListRegistrations, /controlplane.v1.IntegrationsService/Register, /controlplane.v1.RobotAccountService/Create.

P1 6a933de · CWE-863

The commit fixes a real access-control flaw where any valid API token could reach user-oriented authenticated RPCs because token auth was wired into the main middleware chain without a per-operation authorization guard.

How to check:
1. For each file above, confirm the listed guards are still reached on every path this
   change adds or modifies. A guard on the direct path but skipped on a sibling path is
   a live bug, not a style issue.
2. Where a file names a removed construct instead of a guard, search for that construct:
   past fixes here deleted it rather than guarding it, so any surviving use is a lead.
3. Where an invariant is enforced at other entry points, check that this change does not
   add one that skips it.
4. Verify before reporting. Trace attacker-controlled input to the sink, confirm the
   guard is genuinely absent, and state a concrete exploit. Discard what you cannot
   exploit.
5. Do not stop at these files. The fix history shows where risk concentrates, not the
   only bugs that exist.
6. When the review is complete, post a comment on this pull request to acknowledge it.
   State that you reviewed the change against the security context. If you found no
   issues, say so. If you found issues, do not put exploit details in the comment.
   Report them to the user who asked for the review.

AI review (GPT-6.1 Sol) — disposition

Ran a model review of the PR. Findings and how each was addressed in f3258eda:

# Finding Severity Disposition
1 Mux never started in the production app (newApp did not include it) blocker Fixed. The mux now joins the kratos server lifecycle (newApp receives it, wire regenerated).
2 ACK of the injected SETTINGS was replayed to the downstream server (double SETTINGS-ACK) major Fixed. The classifier removes the ACK bytes from the replay (dropLast); regression test TestSettingsAckNotReplayed parses the server-received frames and asserts no ACK is present.
3 A single 16 MiB frame payload could exceed the classification memory bound major Fixed. Budget is checked before every payload read; TestOversizedFrameDropped.
4 Virtual listener close leaked queued connections and delivered after closure major Fixed. Close drains-and-closes queued connections; delivery after closure closes the connection; TestCloseClosesQueuedConnections.
5+7 Only a read deadline was bounded (handshake/SETTINGS writes unbounded); the grace deadline accidentally became a payload timeout major/minor Fixed. One absolute classification deadline bounds reads and writes from acceptance; the grace period is a separate front-of-window timer; handover clears it.
6 Native gRPC on an HTTP-owned HTTP/2 connection failed (no dispatch to the gRPC server) major Fixed. The HTTP handler now forwards native-gRPC content types to the gRPC server, whose middleware chain runs as on the dedicated port. TestNativeGRPCOnHTTPConnection exercises HTTP-then-gRPC on one h2 connection.
8 TLS identity metadata (Request.TLS, gRPC AuthInfo) not surfaced post-handoff minor Deferred — follow-up in this ticket; traffic is unchanged, only transport metadata parity is affected.
9 Full R-002 auth-matrix parity suite missing major (scoped) Already documented in the PR body as the next step of this ticket.

Design challenges (connection reuse constraint, bespoke partial HTTP/2 in the classifier, socket bound in the constructor) are taken as review discussion points for #3629.

Security review (GPT-6.1 Sol) — disposition

Ran a dedicated security review of the internet-facing listener paths. All confirmed findings are fixed in 442b0100; regression tests added for each.

# Severity Finding Disposition
1 High HPACK amplification: a <512 KiB compressed block expanded into ~500k decoded header fields (~20 MiB of structures) from unauthenticated connections Fixed. Decoded-list caps (1024 fields / 256 KiB decoded / 64 KiB per string), only the content-type decision retained. TestHPACKAmplificationRejected
2 High Descriptor exhaustion (EMFILE/ENFILE — temporary, non-timeout) killed the accept loop permanently → single-port DoS Fixed. Recoverable accept errors retry with backoff (5ms→1s); admission control sheds beyond 8192 in-flight classifications
3 Medium Replay buffer retained for the whole connection lifetime (~500 KiB pinned per conn) Fixed. Released as soon as the replay is consumed
4 Medium Slowloris: HTTP-classified connections escaped the classification window; no header-read timeout existed (pre-existing on the old HTTP port, now exposed on the formerly gRPC-only one) Fixed. 60s ReadHeaderTimeout on both listeners; streaming bodies unaffected
5 Medium SETTINGS-ACK handling bypassed the byte budget; a nonzero-length ACK's payload was replayed as frame headers (stream desync) Fixed. ACKs validated (only after injection, zero-length, zero-stream) else the connection is dropped; 4096 frame-count cap. TestAckWithoutInjectionDropped, TestMalformedAckDropped
6 Low Send-after-drain race during virtual-listener close could leak one connection Fixed. A dispatcher goroutine exclusively owns the queue; Close waits for it. TestCloseClosesQueuedConnections

Verified safe (code-confirmed): no auth/authz bypass in either HTTP→gRPC path (same middleware chain runs); no cross-client request smuggling; properly-configured TLS rejects cleartext h2c before classification; TLS metadata loss (Request.TLS/gRPC AuthInfo) is theoretical — no consumer in the codebase (tracked as the documented follow-up).

Residual: the full R-002 auth-matrix parity suite (already scoped in the PR description). Pre-fix the exposure was availability-focused, not confidentiality or auth.

Security context — prior re-confirmation

Checked the four files this PR touches that intersect past security fixes. All four priors hold; none of the changed paths reintroduces an unguarded variant:

  • go.mod (x/net HTTP/2 header-parsing resource exhaustion): the pinned golang.org/x/net@v0.60.0 has no known vulnerability per govulncheck on the changed packages, and this PR additionally adds its own parser bounds on the new internet-facing path (decoded-header-list caps, byte budgets, frame-count cap, classification deadlines, admission control).
  • grpc.go (project-scoped token policy safety): the change only re-wires listener ownership; the middleware and authz chain — including the token-scoping middlewares — is unchanged and shared by all transport paths.
  • main.go / conf.proto (plugin outbound-HTTP target-address policy): the change adds a server config flag and lifecycle wiring; no plugin target or network-policy logic is touched.

govulncheck reports two reachable findings on this branch — both already present on main (verified by scanning a main worktree), neither introduced nor modified by this PR:

  1. GO-2026-5932 — x/crypto/openpgp (unmaintained), reached via cosign's existing verifier paths. Unfixed upstream; pre-existing dependency of the attestation verifier.
  2. GO-2026-5471 (CVE-2026-6993) — Kratos transport/http Server.ServeHTTP confused deputy, no fixed version exists. This repository already carries the mitigation (hardenedRouteOptions: no fallthrough to http.DefaultServeMux, which is the exposed-symbol risk); this PR preserves it and applies it to the new single-port listener and the legacy listener alike.

No action required on this PR for the priors; the Kratos and openpgp findings belong to the dependency backlog, not this change.

Correctness re-review (GPT-6.1 Sol Pro) — disposition

Third review round, auditing the previous fixes and hunting what was missed. All majors fixed in 5c6a687e; each fix has a regression test that was verified to fail without it.

# Severity Finding Disposition
1 Major Payload allocations bypassed the aggregate budget: readFramePayload allocated the advertised payload before charging bytes — 8192 conns × 512 KiB of uncharged allocation Fixed. The payload length is reserved against the aggregate budget before allocation and released on every exit path; net accounting stays exact (reservation + progress ≤ limit during the read). TestPayloadAllocationChargedToBudget
2 Major A delayed SETTINGS ACK (client sends HEADERS first, ACKs afterwards — realistic: the client's frame-read loop races its request-write goroutine) escaped removal and broke HTTP/2 connections with GOAWAY(PROTOCOL_ERROR) Fixed, scoped: after END_HEADERS with an outstanding injected SETTINGS, HTTP-classified connections wait (bounded by min(classifyEnd, 2s)) for the validated ACK and remove it from the replay; gRPC-classified connections hand off immediately (grpc-go ignores duplicate ACKs, and waiting there would record large attestation DATA frames into the replay cap). If the ACK never arrives the connection is dropped — it would break on the double ACK anyway. TestLateSettingsAckNotReplayed, TestLateAckWaitDropsConnection
3 Major The grace deadline prematurely rejected frame payloads: a legitimate request whose payload crossed the 1s grace boundary was dropped Fixed. All reads now go through one accumulate helper (readInto) where a timeout with no prior injection triggers the SETTINGS injection and continues to the classification deadline, preserving partial progress; io.CopyN/io.ReadFull are gone (both swallow trailing read errors when the full count arrives). TestServerSpeaksFirst still passes
4 Minor TLS metadata (Request.TLS, gRPC AuthInfo) not surfaced through handoff Deferred (already documented); no consumer in the codebase
5 Minor ReadHeaderTimeout protects HTTP/1.x header receipt only, not HTTP/2 header completion Comment corrected to state the HTTP/1.x scope; HTTP/2 header-completion protection tracked as follow-up
6 Minor NewAPIMux had no wire cleanup on initialization failure (bound socket + dispatchers leaked on later provider errors) Fixed. Provider returns a cleanup closing the mux; wire regenerated — cleanup runs on every downstream failure and in app shutdown
7 Nit Two tautological ACK assertions in TestSettingsAckNotReplayed Fixed. Removed; the meaningful foundAck check remains

The review also verified the eight earlier fix areas — seven fully, with two corrections worth recording: Kratos v2.9.2 starts and stops servers concurrently, so registration order gives no shutdown-ordering guarantee (the mux's cleanup now runs via wire regardless), and the budget counter shows no drift, double-release, or negative-count path. Conclusion from the reviewer: ready for human approval once these fixes land — they have, in 5c6a687e.

Design flip applied: the single endpoint is the HTTP port

As decided with the repository owner (recorded in #3629 (comment), superseding D-002 via br:eng-spec --revise), this PR now implements the single endpoint on the HTTP port, not the gRPC port:

  • NewAPIMux binds server.http.addr; single-port TLS comes from the new server.http.tls_config (partial config = hard startup error).
  • The deprecated legacy listener is the gRPC port, behind the renamed server.legacy_grpc_listener flag (default on, unreleased field); it keeps its own TLS settings for backward compatibility.
  • NewGRPCServer is now a slice builder (mux-fed single-port instance + optional legacy instance), mirroring NewHTTPServer.
  • Fixed on top (Kimi K3 round): the shutdown race where the mux closing first surfaced net.ErrClosed from the servers' Start and panicked main on SIGTERM — now tolerated as orderly, with a regression test.
  • Ingress impact: none on upgrade day; when the legacy port retires, the cp-api ingress only changes its backend port (the backend-protocol: GRPC annotation stays valid).

Everything else — the classifier hardening, budgets, delayed-ACK protocol, dispatcher-owned listeners, and the four review rounds' regression tests — is unchanged and port-agnostic. Current head: e4fb0a9e.

Re-review (Claude Opus 5.5) — disposition

Fifth round, auditing the HTTP-port flip hardest. All majors/minors fixed in the current head; nits dispositioned below.

# Severity Finding Disposition
1 Major A fatal accept-loop failure was silent: the loop died, cleanShutdownServer mapped net.ErrClosed to nil, and the app stayed up as a zombie serving only the legacy port Fixed. The mux now logs the fatal accept error at ERROR level and exposes Stopping(); cleanShutdownServer only tolerates net.ErrClosed while the mux is actually stopping — a real failure surfaces, kratos cancels, the process restarts. Regression test: TestServerToleratesMuxShutdown (orderly) + TestCleanShutdownServerPropagatesRealErrors (bind conflict still surfaces)
2 Minor Mux.Close blocked up to the 10s classification deadline per idle in-flight connection Fixed. In-flight classifications are tracked and their connections closed on Close before waiting, so shutdown is fast instead of riding out deadlines
3 Minor Legacy TLS options loaded even when the legacy listener was off — a dangling cert mount could fail startup Fixed. Legacy options load only in the branches that create the legacy server
4 Minor TLS single-port test didn't cover native gRPC or gRPC-Web over TLS Fixed. Both added to TestSinglePortTLS (native gRPC → same middleware chain → Unauthenticated; gRPC-Web → wrapper 200)
5 Minor Weak assertions in TestLegacyGRPCListenerFlag Fixed. The "legacy must not serve the HTTP API" check now requires the transport error explicitly
6 Minor No negative test for cleanShutdownServer Fixed. TestCleanShutdownServerPropagatesRealErrors (bind conflict surfaces)
7 Nit Stale comments after the flip Fixed. All four corrected
8 Nit Dangling docs/specs/... references Intentional — the spec lands via #3629; the references become valid when it merges
9 Nit http.tls_config undocumented; http_metrics reuses the message Fixed. Proto comment documents ALPN, partial-config strictness, and that http_metrics does not support TLS
10 Nit No per-listener metrics to measure legacy-port usage before turning it off Deferred — good data point for the deprecation decision; tracked as follow-up
11 Nit APIMux == nil branches only run in tests Kept intentionally — they are the pre-single-port behavior path used by unit tests

The reviewer verified all five flip areas correct (dual gRPC server registration safety included) and found no new issues in the classifier core. Readiness verdict before these fixes: "close — one small fix stands between this and approval"; that fix and the minors have landed.

Implements the control plane part of the single-endpoint design
(docs/specs/issue-3628-single-endpoint.md, refs chainloop-dev#3628).

The control plane now accepts every connection on its current gRPC
port. A small connection classifier (pkg/httpgrpcmux) looks at the
start of each new connection without consuming it and gives it to the
gRPC server or to the HTTP server that runs today, so the middleware
chain, the authentication and the gRPC-Web wrapper do not change. A
connection whose first request carries a native gRPC content type
goes to the gRPC server; HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 without gRPC and gRPC-Web
go to the HTTP server, which now also speaks plain HTTP/2 (h2c). A
client that stalls waiting for the server to speak first is unblocked
with an empty SETTINGS frame after a short grace period, whose
acknowledgement the classifier consumes.

When TLS is configured, the listener terminates it before the
classifier and offers HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 through ALPN, so one
certificate covers all protocols. The HTTP-only port stays on by
default for the deprecation period, behind the new
server.legacy_http_listener flag, and logs a deprecation warning at
startup. The Helm chart needs no change and existing CLI
configurations keep working.
