Docs: "bring your own CI" guide — no native CI runner, webhook evaluator contract, sandbox inventory - #217
Conversation
Stratum has no native CI runner. Document the complete code-execution inventory (sandbox evaluator, webhook evaluator, post-merge command), the webhook evaluator's request/response contract including HMAC signing and the synchronous 10s-default timeout, a worked receiver example, and an honest list of what is missing vs GitHub Actions. Adds an FAQ entry and links the guide from the doc indexes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015dp67PBbFT666GnMLuxvm1

In `@docs/user-guide/ci-integration.md`:
- Around line 33-35: Update the webhook URL validation used by the webhook
evaluator to accept only HTTPS endpoints, rejecting plain HTTP configurations
before delivery; ensure all documented configuration examples and receiver setup
guidance consistently reflect this requirement.
- Around line 124-125: Update the test execution flow using execFileSync to pass
an explicit ephemeral environment allowlist instead of inheriting process.env,
preserving only the variables required to locate and run the repository tests
while excluding STRATUM_WEBHOOK_SECRET and all other CI credentials.
- Line 149: Update the webhook request flow around execFileSync so the complete
operation, including checkout, patching, tests, and cleanup, respects the
configured timeoutMs deadline. Derive and propagate an end-to-end deadline while
reserving cleanup time, and shorten the child-process timeout as needed so the
receiver can return its verdict before the request expires.
- Around line 127-143: The createServer request handler must bound body
accumulation before signature validation, rejecting payloads that exceed the
configured maximum with a controlled 4xx response. Move JSON.parse and payload
validation into try/catch so malformed JSON or missing/invalid diff data is
rejected safely before applying the diff, while preserving HMAC verification.
- Around line 146-156: Update the evaluation cleanup around the git commands to
ensure every evaluation uses an isolated checkout, such as a fresh temporary
worktree or clone, rather than relying on checkout -f .; alternatively,
serialize reuse and perform a failure-safe reset plus git clean -fdx so
untracked files from git apply cannot leak between requests.
- Around line 57-59: Update EvaluatorConfig and WebhookEvaluator to resolve the
webhook secret at runtime from .dev.vars or Wrangler secrets rather than
accepting a committed literal, omit the secret from the policy request payload,
and require HMAC signing for this receiver. Update the webhook configuration
documentation to describe the runtime secret reference and required HMAC
behavior.
- Around line 65-70: Update the Stratum webhook request contract to include the
exact base commit used to generate diff, then make the receiver check out that
commit or reject the request when the checked-out base differs. Add an
integration test that advances main between diff generation and delivery and
verifies the request is not evaluated against the newer commit.

The guide shipped a worked receiver that readers are meant to copy. Four of
its properties were wrong for anything reachable from the network.
The process died on malformed input. `JSON.parse(body)` sat outside the
try block, so a SyntaxError escaped the 'end' handler and took the server
down — reproduced against the published example: one authenticated request
with a body of `{not json` exits the process. Parsing and payload validation
now happen inside error handling and answer 400.
Body accumulation was unbounded. `body += c` ran before the signature
check, so an unauthenticated sender could exhaust memory on a public
endpoint. Bounded, with a 413 once the cap is passed.
The test child inherited the full environment, including
STRATUM_WEBHOOK_SECRET. A diff can rewrite package.json or a test file, so
that handed the code under evaluation the credential that authenticates
verdicts to this receiver. It now gets an explicit allowlist; verified that
the secret is readable by the child under the old form and absent under the
new one.
The checkout was shared and only partly cleaned. `git checkout -f .`
restores tracked paths but leaves whatever `git apply` created, so untracked
files leaked between evaluations. Each request now gets a throwaway worktree.
Also: the child timeout bounded only `npm test`, leaving roughly two seconds
of the default 10s window for checkout, patching and cleanup combined. The
budget is now derived once and spent across the whole request.
Verified against the running example: bad signature 401, absent signature
401, malformed JSON 400, missing or non-string diff 400, oversized body 413,
and the process stays up throughout.
Three contract properties the guide described without qualifying are now
called out, since they are real and a reader pointing a receiver at this
needs them:
- The whole policy is serialized into the body, secrets included, so every
receiver sees every webhook evaluator's secret — including receivers
configured without one (#273).
- `http://` URLs are accepted and the HMAC does not encrypt, so the diff
travels in cleartext over plain HTTP.
- The payload names no base commit, so a receiver tracking a moving branch
can evaluate the wrong tree (#274).
The first and third are defects in src/evaluation/webhook-evaluator.ts, not
in this guide. Changing the payload or the URL policy from a documentation
PR would alter the shipped contract, so they are filed and linked instead.
Suite 1723 green on the merged tree.
The previous fix put the whole evaluation on a shared deadline but left cleanup in a `finally` inside `evaluate()`. That block runs before the function returns, and the response is written after it returns, so an unbounded `git worktree remove` sat directly on the path to `res.end` — a correct verdict could still arrive after Stratum had aborted the request. `evaluate` now returns the verdict and the worktree path without touching cleanup. The handler answers first and cleans up from `res.end`'s callback, and the removal carries its own bounded timeout so a wedged worktree cannot stall the following request either. Measured with a 3s stall injected into cleanup and everything else unchanged: cleaning up before returning made the client wait 3230 ms for the verdict; cleaning up after the response made it 207 ms. Also notes that every child here is execFileSync and blocks the event loop, which is acceptable in a sketch but not in a receiver taking concurrent requests. Rejection paths re-verified against the revised example: bad signature 401, absent signature 401, malformed JSON 400, missing or non-string diff 400, oversized body 413, process stays up. Suite 1723 green.

The sandbox section was factually wrong, which is the worst failure mode
for a guide. It claimed the evaluator "writes the added lines of the
change's diff into a fresh Cloudflare Sandbox" and "sees only the diff's
added lines reconstructed as files, not a full checkout". The evaluator on
main does the opposite: it materializes the full workspace tree at the
evaluated commit, and its own comment says the version it replaced was the
one that reconstructed a pseudo-tree from the diff's + lines. The guide was
describing behavior that no longer ships. Rewritten, including the npm
ci/npm install step that depends on a lockfile being present.
mkdtempSync sat outside the try. It throws on a full or read-only /tmp, and
it runs inside a req.on("end") handler, so that throw was an uncaught
exception rather than a failed evaluation — the same shape as the JSON.parse
defect fixed earlier in this PR. Verified against both versions with TMPDIR
pointed at a missing directory: the previous example's process died, the
revised one answers 200 with a failed verdict and stays up. `dir` is now
null until creation succeeds, and cleanup returns early on null.
Body reading had no wall-clock bound. The deadline was measured but never
enforced during the read, so a sender dribbling one byte every few seconds
kept the socket active and held the connection indefinitely — an inactivity
timeout would not have caught it. An absolute timer now starts before the
first chunk and is cleared on end, abort, error, close and the size
rejection. Verified with a real slow-loris against a 2s deadline: HTTP 408
at 2007ms, connection closed, process alive.
Rejection paths re-verified unchanged: bad signature 401, absent signature
401, malformed JSON 400, missing or non-string diff 400, oversized 413.
Suite 1723 green on the tree merged with main.

The guide claimed the webhook payload carries every evaluator's secret and told readers not to run two webhook evaluators at different trust levels. That is false and has been since 2026-08-19: main passes the policy through sanitizePolicy (src/evaluation/sanitize-policy.ts), which strips `secret` from every webhook entry, landed by #204 — "stop leaking webhook.secret". The claim came from reading webhook-evaluator.ts on this branch's tree while it was 21 commits behind main, so the line I quoted as current was the pre-#204 version. The guide now describes the sanitization and tells receivers to provision their secret out of band, since it is not in the payload. Issue #273, filed on the same stale reading, is invalid and closed. Cleanup no longer hangs off the response's end-callback alone. That callback is a 'finish' listener, and on an aborted request 'finish' never fires: probed on Node v22.22.2, a client abort before res.end yields events ["res.close","calling res.end"] with endCallbackCalls 0 — so the worktree leaked once per aborted request. Cleanup now runs on whichever of 'close' or the end-callback comes first, guarded so it cannot run twice. Worth noting the end-to-end version of that probe did NOT reproduce it, because execFileSync blocks the event loop and the abort is processed after res.end; the leak is reachable exactly in the async receiver this guide recommends for concurrent traffic. Status-check aggregation added to both capability lists. Stratum does not collect external CI check results the way a PR's checks tab does — a check that reports anywhere other than the synchronous webhook answer is invisible to the gate, which is a thing readers wiring up external CI need told. Suite 1723 green.

…l secret REPO_DIR was read but never checked. Unset or pointing somewhere that is not a repository, every `git -C` fails and each request answers a confusing failed verdict with no hint that the cause is configuration. Validated at startup instead: unset throws "REPO_DIR is required", a non-repository path throws "REPO_DIR is not a git repository: <path>", both before the listener opens. CHILD_ENV passed through the receiver's own HOME. That is the service account's home directory, holding ~/.npmrc, ~/.gitconfig, ~/.ssh and cloud credential caches — and the whole point of the allowlist is that code from the diff must not reach exactly those. The child now gets a throwaway directory: verified the receiver's HOME is /root while the child sees /tmp/stratum-eval-home-*. Neither of those makes a general-purpose host a safe place to run a stranger's changes, so the guide now says so directly: run the receiver in an ephemeral least-privileged container or VM, no credentials on the filesystem, no cloud metadata reachable, outbound network restricted to what the suite needs. `npm test` executing the change is the point of the thing, and `git apply` can bring hooks and .gitattributes filters that run as well. The `secret` field is also now flagged where it is configured rather than only in the missing-capabilities list. Verified against main: EvaluatorConfig types it `secret?: string` and policy-loader.ts does no environment or secret-store lookup, so enabling HMAC today means committing the value to .stratum/policy.yaml where every repository reader can see it. A signed webhook therefore authenticates the repository, not a confidential channel. Adding .dev.vars or Wrangler-secret indirection is an implementation change. Startup validation, rejection paths and HOME isolation all verified against the running example. Suite 1723 green.

The guide carried a complete, copyable Node receiver that applied the diff to a worktree and ran the suite. Review found successive problems with it across five rounds — nineteen findings, escalating rather than converging — and the last round's Major finding was that the approach cannot be made safe at the level a snippet operates on: if the executor shares the receiver's UID and PID namespace, diff-controlled code can read /proc/<pid>/environ and recover the HMAC secret, whatever the child's own environment is set to. That is right, and it is not fixable with another patch to the example. What #196 asked for is the contract documented, not a production CI runner. So the sketch now shows the part the contract actually defines — verify the signature against the raw bytes, answer {score, passed, reason} — and stops at `yourCi`, with an explicit note on what it leaves out and why. The execution story is a real gap and is now tracked properly in #281: namespace isolation, a fresh filesystem per evaluation, resource and time bounds, credential hygiene. It wants a runbook, not a code sample. A copyable snippet that looks authoritative but is only mostly safe is worse than none, because people copy it. Everything else in the guide is unchanged: the execution inventory, the webhook contract, the timeout constraint, the GitHub Actions section, and the "what's missing" list. 366 lines to 233.

The annotation read 0..100. The contract two sections above this shows
{"score": 0.95}, and every evaluator on main returns a 0..1 value —
diff-evaluator and sandbox-evaluator return 1.0, secret-scanner returns 1,
and the fail-closed paths return 0.
This was mine, introduced in cea62ed: the example I replaced used score 1 and
score 0 and was correct. Writing the annotations fresh, I invented a range
the document itself contradicts.

git-lfs reports a batch-API failure as `batch response: <error>` next to the endpoint it called. That message contains none of the tool-name markers, so it fell through to not-found -- the exact misclassification this change exists to remove, still present after four rounds of tuning the predicate. The rule written above LFS_MARKERS already covered it: a marker must come from git-lfs's own output, never from a URL. `batch response:` is git-lfs's own output. What the list actually encoded was the narrower test of containing the literal string "git lfs"/"git-lfs", which is not what the rule says. Neither half is usable alone -- "batch response" is ordinary English and the endpoint is path-shaped -- so this is an ALL-of match on the pair, alongside the existing ANY-of list. Three tests: the batch-response form (verified failing before this change) and both single halves, which must stay NOT_FOUND and keep the View Repository action. Merged origin/main (2 commits behind after #217 landed) so the suite ran against the tree CI will build: 1819 green.
createOrReusePR took `isReusablePr` with a `() => true` default. The promotion route passes isUsableGithubPr, so nothing is currently unvalidated -- but the code this replaced ran an owner/repo check on the lookup hit unconditionally, and a default of "accept anything" turns that into a check a caller drops by saying nothing. Reuse means persisting a PR this client neither created nor chose, off a lookup whose response it does not otherwise validate. That is the wrong shape for a permissive default, so the parameter is now required and the doc comment says why. The only production caller already passed one; just the tests needed updating, and they now name the predicate they are exercising rather than inheriting silence. Merged origin/main (behind after #217 landed): 1817 green.
Summary
Per #196's suggested direction, this documents explicitly that Stratum has no native CI / GitHub Actions replacement and how to bring your own CI. New
docs/user-guide/ci-integration.md(linked from the user-guide index and docs README) covering:SANDBOXbinding; a policy namingsandboxfails closed viaUnavailableEvaluatorwhen the binding is absent), the webhook evaluator — a synchronous POST of{diff, policy}withX-Stratum-Signature: sha256=<hex>HMAC when a secret is set, expecting{score, passed, reason}within a default 10s timeout, SSRF-filtered public-host URLs, redirects not followed — andmerge.postMergeCommandrun in a sandbox against the merged tree (default 60s, auto-revert on failure).Every stated contract detail was verified against the code on
main(webhook-evaluator.ts,sandbox-evaluator.ts,policy-loader.ts,change-flow.ts,post-merge.ts,validateWebhookUrl).Whether a native runner model belongs in project scope remains an open product question — this PR makes the current reality documented rather than implied.
