| Comment: | index: pin the artifacts that once vanished, and check corpus parity
Two nets for the same failure: an artifact that fails to parse becomes opaque content, so the record is simply absent and nothing reports it. TestAwkwardArtifactsSurviveIngest feeds shapes real repositories contain — empty C card, empty J value, empty T value, a titled technote, a forum post with no N card — through parse AND fold, asserting the row lands. Reverting the tokenizer fix fails all three empty-token cases, so the net catches what actually happened. TestCorpusParity compares a built index against fossil's own tables and is opt-in via QUARRY_PARITY, since the corpora are hundreds of megabytes. Known differences are listed individually with reasons, so anything else fails rather than being tolerated. It found one on its first run against libfossil: a wiki-tag-propagation-test tag that looks like a page name but is a tag applied to the FIXMEs artifacts. quarry was right and the ground-truth query could not tell the difference — recorded as such. |

web: cookie sessions and a login page
Basic auth works and stays for the API, but a browser has no way to log out of it and the credential lives in the browser's keeping. A gated page now redirects to /login instead of raising a Basic prompt, the header names who is signed in and offers sign-out, and Basic remains for scripts. Session tokens are stored as SHA-256 digests, so the table cannot be read back into working cookies. Cookies are HttpOnly, Path=/, SameSite=Lax — Lax being what stops another origin POSTing quarry's write forms on a reader's behalf — and Secure under TLS. A password change or an account deletion ends that account's sessions; otherwise 'change your password' would leave the browser already holding one still signed in. Authorization for a cookie runs the same RoleOf lookup the password path uses, so a cookie is never worth more than a password. safeNext keeps the post-login redirect on this site: a reader is at their most trusting on the hop straight after authenticating, which is exactly when an open redirect pays. check-in: 7bdf7a189b user: dmestas tags: trunk | |

xfer: read the project code with zit stat -R; serve bare stores
zit#85 landed, so the identity of a store is readable without a checkout. ProjectCode drops the clone handshake — free port, spawn zit serve, poll for readiness, POST a container, scrape the push card — for one subprocess that answers directly. That handshake was the last thing keeping quarry from serving a BARE store: the read plane was already -R-only with no cmd.Dir anywhere, but zit serve is checkout-only. Verified by serving a directory holding nothing but libfossil's .zit — 3,835 check-ins, and timeline, wiki, ticket, forum and technote all answer 200. Startup also loses a per-repository 5-second worst case. check-in: d7528db81f user: dmestas tags: trunk | |
