kanade-agent 0.48.4

//! Agent-side command provenance check (#1165).
//!
//! Verifies the backend's signature on every wire `Command`, reports the
//! outcome, and — on a host whose local config asks for it — **refuses** the
//! ones that do not verify.
//!
//! Refusing is off unless an operator turns it on, per host. That ordering was
//! deliberate rather than incidental: capability first, enforcement last, so
//! every step of the rollout is reversible (the same shape #1159 used for
//! per-role NATS credentials). Reporting shipped a release ahead of refusing,
//! which is how the fleet's readiness became answerable — via `command_keys`
//! on the heartbeat (#1195) — before anything depended on it.
//!
//! # Both entry points, not just the obvious one
//!
//! A wire `Command` reaches execution through two decode sites:
//!
//! * the live core subscription (`commands::command_loop`), and
//! * the JetStream replay on reconnect (`command_replay`).
//!
//! Both are wired here. The replay path matters more than it looks: #1155's
//! measured bypass *is* a JetStream consumer, so a verifier covering only the
//! live path would leave the attack it exists to stop running through the
//! other door.
//!
//! # Where enforcement will be configured — deliberately not KV
//!
//! When stage 3 adds "reject unsigned", the switch must live in **local
//! configuration** (registry / on-disk config, admin-ACL'd), not in the
//! `agent_config` KV bucket.
//!
//! KV is the convenient place — fleet-wide, instantly reversible per PC, which
//! is exactly what the rollout wants. It is also *inside the trust boundary
//! this feature defends*: today any holder of the shared NATS token can write
//! it (#1155), so an attacker who can forge commands could first flip the flag
//! that would have caught them. An enforcement switch reachable by the
//! attacker is not a switch.
//!
//! If a KV knob is wanted later for operational convenience, it may only
//! **raise** strictness, never lower it: local config sets the floor. Then the
//! worst an attacker gains from it is denial of service, not a bypass.
//!
//! # Keys come from the registry, not the binary
//!
//! The keyring is provisioned like the NATS token —
//! `HKLM\SOFTWARE\kanade\agent\CommandKeys`, hardened ACL — rather than baked
//! into the release. Baking one key in would be simpler, but a keyring has to
//! gain and retire entries during rotation, and re-releasing the fleet to
//! rotate a key is the kind of procedure that does not get used. The public
//! keys are not secrets; the ACL is there to stop tampering, not disclosure.
//!
//! Off-Windows there is no registry, so the same ring comes from
//! `/etc/kanade/command-keys.json` (root-only, 0600) when the registry yields
//! nothing, and enforcement from the root-only `/etc/kanade/require-signed-commands`
//! file. Precedence is registry, then file, then none; a registry that fails to
//! read does not fall through to the file. Both files are local config in the
//! same sense as the registry values — not KV — and both are read through the
//! same loader, so the reload and heartbeat behaviour below applies unchanged.
//!
//! # The ring reloads itself when, and only when, it is wrong
//!
//! Loading once at startup made provisioning a no-op until the agent
//! restarted — measured on the dev host, where the key was distributed
//! successfully at 17:27 and the agent, running since 15:47, still reported an
//! unknown key hours later. That defeats the whole "distribute before the
//! backend signs" ordering the rollout depends on: the key is on disk, the
//! in-memory ring is empty, and stage 2 raises the rotation alarm fleet-wide
//! anyway.
//!
//! So a [`VerifyError::UnknownKid`] triggers a reload and one retry. That is
//! the *only* outcome a stale ring can explain — an unsigned command, a bad
//! signature or a stale one are all unaffected by which keys we hold — so the
//! common path never touches the registry, and no other outcome can be used to
//! provoke a read.
//!
//! ## The command path alone is not enough — revocation has no trigger
//!
//! That narrowness is right for **verification**, and it was incomplete as a
//! policy for the ring, because verification is not the ring's only reader.
//! `UnknownKid` means "a key is missing". Revocation is the opposite shape: the
//! key is still *present* in memory, so every command signed with it verifies,
//! no unknown-key outcome ever occurs, and nothing asks the store again.
//! Removing a key from `CommandKeys` would have had no effect until the agent
//! restarted — which makes "the array is replaced, not merged, so emergency
//! revocation is possible" untrue in practice.
//!
//! The reported ring has the same gap in the other direction: a newly *added*
//! key stays invisible to the command path until something signs with it, so a
//! fleet-wide "has the new key landed everywhere?" check would answer no
//! indefinitely.
//!
//! So [`Verifier::refresh_and_report`] re-reads once per heartbeat, and the
//! heartbeat interval is what bounds revocation latency. It is cheap because
//! the raw value is compared before anything is parsed — the expensive part is
//! `VerifyingKey::from_bytes` (an Ed25519 point decompression per entry), and
//! an unchanged store skips it entirely.
//!
//! Chosen over a registry change notification, which would react in
//! sub-second rather than sub-interval, for one reason: **a watcher that
//! silently died would leave revocation looking instant while it was not**.
//! Refreshing on the same path that *reports* the ring means one signal covers
//! both — if the refresh stops working, `command_keys` visibly stops matching
//! what was provisioned. A faster mechanism can be added later on top of this
//! one; it should not replace it.
//!
//! The reload is rate-limited because the trigger is reachable by anyone who
//! can put bytes on a command subject: without a floor, a stream of commands
//! bearing invented key ids would turn every one of them into a registry read.
//! [`RELOAD_MIN_INTERVAL`] bounds that to one read per interval per machine,
//! which still lets a freshly provisioned key take effect within seconds
//! rather than at the next restart.
//!
//! ## A reload may improve the ring or leave it alone — never destroy it
//!
//! This is what makes a skipped or failed reload a *delay* rather than an
//! outage, and it is load-bearing rather than tidy. The provisioning job writes
//! `CommandKeys` while the agent is running, so a reload can catch a partial
//! write; treating that like an absent value — which is what a boot-time load
//! correctly does — would take a machine from verifying to holding no keys at
//! all. At stage 3 that is the difference between one delayed command and a
//! machine that refuses every command until something reloads successfully.
//!
//! So [`read_keyring_raw`] separates "nothing provisioned" (`Ok(None)` — a real
//! state an operator can intend) from "provisioned and unusable" (`Err`), and
//! only the former replaces a live ring.
//!
//! ## An enforcing host ignores the rate limit
//!
//! With enforcement on, the moment a command is about to be **refused** for an
//! unknown key is exactly the moment a skipped reload stops being free: a key
//! that landed twenty seconds ago would be refused for the rest of the window,
//! and the limit would have turned from an I/O bound into a rejection bug. So
//! [`Verifier::classify`] forces the reload when this host is enforcing,
//! ignoring [`RELOAD_MIN_INTERVAL`].
//!
//! The flooding that bound existed to stop is not worth a rejection here. The
//! read is a local, memory-mapped registry lookup — cheaper than the Ed25519
//! verify the same command already cost — so an attacker naming invented key
//! ids buys microseconds per command they were already paying for.
//!
//! ## If the keyring source stops being local
//!
//! The reload runs synchronously on the async command path, which is fine only
//! because the registry and the keyring file are local: microseconds, at most
//! once per interval per machine. Move the ring to a network fetch, a remote share
//! or a KV read and that inverts — it then belongs on `spawn_blocking`, and the
//! `last_reload` guard held across the load (which is what collapses two
//! concurrent misses into one read) has to be reworked around an async-aware
//! lock rather than simply dropped, or the dedup it provides is lost.
