// Package authn answers one question for spec.sr.ht — "who is making this // request?" — and builds the git provenance that answers "who made this write?" // forever after. // // The design has exactly two principals that carry authority: // // - the human owner, recognised by the shared `sr.ht.unified-login.v1` // cookie carrying the instance's [sr.ht] owner-name; // - an agent, recognised by a bearer token. // // Everything else is anonymous. Single-user does not mean "no authorization"; // it relocates it onto agents, which is why Principal distinguishes those two // and nothing finer. The boundary that bounds an agent's damage is the refs rule // (agents may only write proposals/*), and that lives in gitx; nothing here // replaces it. // // # Two agent credential planes // // An agent is recognised on either of two planes, and Principal.Plane says // which: // // - PlaneLocal — spec's own agent_token row: one instance-wide shared secret, // hashed at rest, with no owner, no expiry and no grants. This is v1's // credential and it keeps working exactly as it did. // - PlaneInstance — a tokens.sr.ht working token: signed by the instance, // expiring, owned by a meta.sr.ht account, and carrying a grant set // (ActionPropose, ActionRead). It is validated by sr-ht-ecore's bearer // package and is present only when the instance config has a // [tokens.sr.ht] section; where it does not, the plane is absent and the // local one is the only door, which is a supported configuration. // // The instance plane is tried first and falls back to the local one on exactly // two refusals — see Resolver.resolveInstanceToken, where the reasoning lives. // // The two planes are not interchangeable, and the difference this package has to // carry is that only one of them has an owner. The local token is a secret with // no user behind it; an instance token names one. Principal.Owner therefore // keeps meaning "the human this agent acts for", which on this single-owner // instance is always [sr.ht] owner-name — a token belonging to anybody else is // refused rather than admitted as a second identity, because every consumer of // that field (the provenance committer, the refs rule's principal kind, the // coreauth AuthContext) is written for one human. // // Grants are orthogonal to the refs rule and to provenance, and replace neither. // A grant says what an instance token was minted for; the refs rule still says // where an agent may point a ref, and provenance is still mandatory on every // agent write, on both planes. // // The cookie and the bearer planes are deliberately asymmetric: // // - A cookie that is missing, forged, expired or unreadable yields an // anonymous principal and never an error. Browsing must keep working. // - A bearer token that is present but unknown, revoked or corrupt is a hard // failure. An agent that presented an explicit credential must not be // silently downgraded to a reader; it would then fail confusingly at the // write instead of clearly at the door. // // Provenance is the other half. Agent identity and session ID are mandatory on // every agent write, and are recorded in the commit itself so that a plain // `git log` on any clone carries the audit trail: // // Author: claude-code/spec-writer (for bigbes) // Committer: bigbes // // Add storage model section // // X-Agent-Session: 8fb9c9a4-b078-4af1-89eb-d97c522f9921 // X-Agent-Base: 1f0c1d1a1e2b3c4d5e6f708192a3b4c5d6e7f809 // // A write missing either field is rejected rather than defaulted: a commit // stamped with a guessed session is worse than no commit, because it launders // unattributable output as attributed. // // This package owns no storage and opens no connections. The agent_token table // lives in db/, injected through the TokenStore interface declared here; the // "user" row an instance token's owner resolves to is reached through // UserLookup, and the tokens.sr.ht validator through BearerValidator. authn // never imports db and never calls core-go's auth.LookupUser itself, so the // dependency arrow keeps pointing downward and the whole package stays testable // with no Postgres and no daemon to talk to. package authn import ( "errors" "sourcecraft.dev/bigbes/sr-ht-ecore/bearer" ) // Sentinel errors.
