test: reproduce downstream H1 parser admission gap

[seonghobae]

Executable RED successor to documentation projection #44 for issue #43 / cloudflare/pingora#993. This PR does not implement or close either issue and does not add a speculative Admin Config field, gateway-local supplier fork, callback-only 431 workaround, retained legacy proxy, product auth/business logic, Wardnet/EgressWeave authority, or Keyverse identity.

Dependency root and writer-safe scope

Base is final #44 c026e1c8f419c6c5035a36518c3d482dfe7ff8a8; current exact child head remains 7212c3303eca4dd0527fa9e3e9befc92b5983ee7 and changes one executable evidence path only: tests/h1_header_admission.rs. Production Rust, workflows, configuration schema, routing/retry semantics, supplier pin and durable product/technical baseline are unchanged.

The fixture exercises the compiled generic gateway over real loopback TCP with test acceptance values of 16 KiB whole-request-header bytes and 32 fields. One request exceeds the byte budget with a single large field; another exceeds the field-count budget while remaining below the byte budget. Both must fail before ProxyHttp application lifecycle and before any origin connection. The lifecycle oracle permits exactly two intentional /readyz observations, so callback-only local 4xx/5xx cannot manufacture GREEN. Stdout/stderr are continuously drained, attacker markers must not leak, and readiness must remain healthy.

Current exact downstream RED / independent lanes

Exact CI 34388739737 / test 102591519557 on 7212c330... passes exact checkout, native dependencies, Rust 1.98.0 formatting, gateway compilation, 24 production unit tests and preceding integration targets. tests/h1_header_admission.rs then fails both causal cases exactly as intended: many-small-fields and one-large-field each produce application-lifecycle count 3 where only the two readiness lifecycles are permitted. Both therefore enter ProxyHttp instead of failing at parser admission. Lint/rustdoc/coverage/resolved-lock after aggregate failure receive no GREEN credit.

Independent same-head lanes are terminal GREEN: load-contract 102591519456; OCI runtime 102591519658; Supply Chain 34388739647 / 102591519506, artifact 10119160298, digest sha256:f7eb68b53296e83adce1e367407222c5653083f4f1d330e607a17587791f5eb5; bounded-origin capacity 34388739691, artifact 10118931802, digest sha256:fe3e22912a35ccf966686fc4a09113329402d6670178dd4f818242a1826a38d9. Capacity records 1600 requests, 3200/3200 checks, zero HTTP failures and aggregate p95 3.99323785 ms. This is controlled loopback evidence, not TLS/H2/WAN or production-SLO credit.

Exact-current technical COMMENT review 5158352157 found no additional actionable writer-safe source/test/DDD/authority-boundary finding. This is technical evidence, not self-approval or protected-promotion credit.

Current Pingora main / #1000 repair boundary

Protected public Pingora main has advanced to exact 4487f7b2ab50f159e4a2cf4f6a6b813f61bb6e19; the latest published release remains Pingora 0.9.0 at tag exact 702f69015e53f7244d6ad2e743de571d859a70a4. Fresh current-main HttpSession::read_request() source still uses hardcoded MAX_HEADER_SIZE and MAX_HEADERS parser limits, so neither 0.9.0 nor current protected main exposes the operator-configurable parser-admission capability required by #43.

Contributor PR cloudflare/pingora#1000 remains open at exact 6a90c79b61fbbc70b518709de6802165668cba2c. Its branch is based on main@702f690..., not current protected 4487f7b...; it must therefore be non-destructively adapted/restacked or superseded before it can become current-line authority. Current candidate semantics remain promising: configurable byte/count bounds, pipelined current-header/suffix accounting, fallible public setter validation, fail-closed real H1 activation, remaining-budget-bounded socket reads, exact-budget Partial rejection, and exact-budget Complete acceptance, with corresponding tests.

Earlier exact Semgrep/build/Rust lanes and CWL technical review on that mutable contributor head remain useful candidate evidence only. They are not maintainer approval, protected integration, release authority, or a substitute for rerunning the same acceptance against the eventual exact integrated supplier identity.

The next supplier boundary is maintainer review plus current-line integration, followed by a later release-qualified supplier identity containing the capability. Only then may CWL add an explicit positive versioned Admin Config transition if required and rerun this unchanged real-socket parser/application/origin contract to GREEN.

Keep Draft. Do not pin mutable #1000, weaken the parser oracle, add callback-only 431, self-approve, or claim protected merge, immutable gateway release, canary/shadow, rollback, cutover or Nginx/OpenResty removal credit.

Refs #43, #58.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Unix 전용 통합 테스트를 추가했습니다. 테스트는 실제 TCP 소켓과 gateway 프로세스를 사용합니다. HTTP/1 헤더 바이트 수 또는 필드 수 제한을 초과한 요청이 origin과 애플리케이션 콜백에 도달하기 전에 거부되는지 확인합니다.

Changes

HTTP/1 헤더 사전 거부 검증

Layer / File(s)	Summary
테스트 하네스와 gateway 실행 기반 tests/h1_header_admission.rs	테스트 상수와 상태 자료형을 추가했습니다. gateway 설정, listener 기동 확인, stderr 수집, 프로세스 정리 흐름을 추가했습니다.
트래픽 관찰과 fixture 실행 tests/h1_header_admission.rs	readiness 요청, origin observer, 제한된 downstream 소켓 처리, HTTP 응답 파싱, graceful shutdown을 연결했습니다.
헤더 제한 초과 사례 검증 tests/h1_header_admission.rs	대형 단일 헤더와 다수의 작은 헤더 요청을 생성합니다. 요청이 origin에 도달하지 않고 거부되는지와 공격자 marker가 로그에 없는지 확인합니다.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2cb23

This change adds regression coverage for oversized HTTP/1 headers, but the test can pass even when rejection occurs after application callback processing, and it does not inspect all process log output for marker leakage. The stated parser-admission regression guarantee should be corrected or fully observed before merge.

- Line 299: Update the gateway process setup around Stdio::null and the
result.logs assertion to capture and drain stdout alongside stderr, then combine
both streams into the value checked at the ATTACKER_MARKER validation so
stdout-only leakage cannot bypass the test.
- Around line 333-342: Update the admission test around the origin_request check
so it does not treat missing origin_request alone as proof of parser-phase
rejection. Add or reuse an observation set only after the application callback,
such as request_filter, is entered, and assert that this observation remains
unset for the cases expected to be rejected before the callback; if that
instrumentation is unavailable, narrow the assertion contract to rejection
before reaching origin.

Exact-head hosted evidence correction for 5098409da99b22e014f54b1268996c55aa75c514: the current CI failure is not yet the intended parser-admission RED. Attempt 1 failed test 102575884891 and load-contract 102575884749 at the inherited Install native dependencies step before Rust/toolchain/test execution; bounded-origin 102575884127 failed at the same pre-Rust step. Failed-job-only attempt 2 reproduced that same step on fresh jobs test 102579745669, load-contract 102579745160, and capacity 102579794414. A second failed-job-only rerun on the unchanged exact SHA reproduced it a third time: test 102581202693, load-contract 102581203029, and capacity 102581244497 all failed at Install native dependencies before Rust or traffic execution.

Attempt-3 decoded job logs now establish the causal infrastructure RCA. On fresh GitHub-hosted ubuntu-24.04 image 20260831.293.1, sudo apt-get update fails on the preinstalled, unused Google Chrome apt repository https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome-stable/deb: Packages.gz returns Hash Sum mismatch (expected SHA-256 233e56de019b57db89238fa7bcc3647718dbbea3a40c2dc1c633a8c8952aa9e9, received bc1428ab27c6d76ee9bb76de07f1ded0ddb4aaabd958fc72855634ef5894a4b3), then apt exits 100. Ubuntu archive/security indexes were being fetched normally. This repository needs none of Chrome for the native dependencies. Same-head OCI runtime remains GREEN and its exact Debian builder successfully installs the required native dependencies; Supply Chain 34384092012 is also GREEN.

Because organization .github owns reusable CI authority, the root fix has been handed to .github#712 comment 5606428681: reusable native-package preparation must exclude only unused preinstalled third-party apt sources from the required-source trust set (or otherwise constrain apt to the required OS authorities), while still failing closed on required Ubuntu source integrity. No apt-get update || true, hash/TLS bypass, blanket repository deletion, endless retry loop, no-op commit, or product-source workaround is acceptable. This #72 lane will consume the released/exact-SHA central repair rather than duplicate that authority locally.

Until that owner-path repair lets a terminal run reach tests/h1_header_admission.rs, do not claim the 16 KiB/32-field semantic RED, load latency, or bounded-origin capacity from these failed attempts. The branch still changes no workflow or production source.

Exact-current technical review of c026e1c8f419c6c5035a36518c3d482dfe7ff8a8..7212c3303eca4dd0527fa9e3e9befc92b5983ee7. Re-read the one-path fixture after the Rust 1.98.0 formatter-only successor, the two resolved prior inline findings, and fresh hosted execution. The candidate still uses real loopback TCP, bounded origin observation, continuously drained stdout/stderr, exact two-readiness application-lifecycle oracle, fail-closed origin evidence, and distinct byte/count acceptance values below supplier ceilings. cargo fmt --all -- --check now passes and the exact current test reaches the intended parser-admission semantic RED in both cases (application lifecycle count 3 vs expected 2), while load/OCI/capacity remain independent GREEN lanes. No additional actionable writer-safe source/test/DDD/authority-boundary finding found on this exact head. This is technical COMMENT evidence only, not self-approval or protected-promotion credit; keep Draft until supplier authority is repaired and release-qualified.
