6//! Tenant resolution for multi-tenant A2A servers.
7//!
8//! [`TenantResolver`] extracts a tenant identifier from incoming requests,
9//! enabling per-tenant routing, configuration, and resource isolation.
10//!
11//! # Built-in resolvers
12//!
13//! | Resolver | Strategy |
14//! |---|---|
15//! | [`HeaderTenantResolver`] | Reads a configurable HTTP header (default: `x-tenant-id`) |
16//! | [`BearerTokenTenantResolver`] | Extracts `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and optionally maps it |
17//! | [`PathSegmentTenantResolver`] | Extracts a URL path segment by index |
18//!
19//! # Security: all three read what the caller sent
20//!
21//! A header, a bearer token and a path segment are all **client-controlled**.
22//! Nothing in this module authenticates any of them, so a resolver on its own
23//! provides no isolation at all: anyone who can reach the server can send
24//! `x-tenant-id: victim` and be treated as `victim`.
25//!
26//! [`RequestHandler::resolve_tenant`] states the model this is meant to sit
27//! inside — the resolver is the source of truth precisely *because* it reads
28//! "trusted request context (an auth token, a gateway-set header, a URL path
29//! segment)". That word **trusted** is a precondition on the deployment, and it
30//! is the whole of the security argument. It was stated where the value is
31//! consumed and not here, where the resolver is chosen, which is the wrong way
32//! round: nobody picks a resolver by reading the handler.
33//!
34//! For that precondition to hold, one of these has to be true:
35//!
36//! * a gateway or sidecar in front of this server **strips the header from
37//!   client traffic and sets it itself** from an authenticated identity — the
38//!   same discipline [`RateLimitConfig::trusted_proxy_hops`] applies to
39//!   `X-Forwarded-For`, and for a stronger reason: this decides which tenant's
40//!   data you read, not merely whose quota you spend; or
41//! * the resolver derives the tenant from something the server has already
42//!   verified — a JWT whose signature was checked, for example, via
43//!   [`BearerTokenTenantResolver::with_mapper`]; or
44//! * the deployment has exactly one tenant and this is routing, not isolation.
45//!
46//! Two more things worth knowing before relying on this:
47//!
48//! * A resolver returning `None` falls through to the shared default (`""`)
49//!   partition. `RequestHandlerBuilder::require_resolved_tenant` turns that into
50//!   a rejection instead, and is **off by default** for compatibility.
51//! * Ordering matters the same way it does for per-caller rate limiting: a
52//!   resolver that reads something an interceptor is supposed to have
53//!   established will read nothing if it runs first.

65//! let ctx = CallContext::new("message/send")
66//!     .with_http_header("x-tenant-id", "acme-corp");

68//! // resolver.resolve(&ctx) would return Some("acme-corp".into())

78
79/// Trait for extracting a tenant identifier from incoming requests.
80///
81/// Implement this to customize how tenant identity is determined — e.g. from
82/// HTTP headers, JWT claims, URL path segments, or API keys.
83///
84/// # Object safety
85///
86/// This trait is designed to be used behind `Arc<dyn TenantResolver>`.
87///
88/// # Return value
89///
90/// `None` means no tenant could be determined; the server should use its
91/// default partition / configuration.

103
104/// Extracts a tenant ID from a configurable HTTP header.
105///
106/// By default reads `x-tenant-id`. The header name is always matched
107/// case-insensitively (keys in [`CallContext::http_headers`] are lowercased).
108///
109/// # Safe only behind something that sets the header
110///
111/// The header is whatever the caller sent. This resolver does not and cannot
112/// check it. Unless a gateway strips it from client traffic and sets it from an
113/// authenticated identity, any caller can name any tenant — see this module's
114/// security section.
115///
116/// # Example
117///
118/// ```rust

167///
168/// [`new`](Self::new) uses the **raw, unverified** bearer token as the tenant
169/// identifier. No signature is checked and no expiry is honoured, so the tenant
170/// is a string the caller chose — which is the same as having no tenancy, and
171/// worse, because it looks like having some.
172///
173/// [`with_mapper`](Self::with_mapper) is the constructor for a deployment: give
174/// it a closure that verifies the token (checks the signature, checks expiry)
175/// and returns the tenant claim, or `None` to reject. The mapper is where the
176/// trust in this module's security section is established or is not.

256
257/// Extracts a tenant ID from a URL path segment by index.
258///
259/// The path is client-controlled, so this isolates nothing on its own — it is a
260/// routing convention that a gateway or an authorising interceptor has to back
261/// up. See this module's security section.
262///
263/// Path segments are split by `/`, with empty segments (from leading `/`)
264/// removed. For example, the path `/tenants/acme/tasks` has segments
265/// `["tenants", "acme", "tasks"]`; index `1` yields `"acme"`.
266///
267/// The resolver reads the path from the `:path` pseudo-header (HTTP/2) or
268/// the lowercased `path` key in [`CallContext::http_headers`]. If neither is
269/// present, resolution returns `None`.
