Add indexed session replay retention boundary - #342
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded indexed ChangesSession replay and metadata
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change adds replay retention classification and session tracking, but it can currently allow attacker-controlled session references to grow the durable ledger without bound and can report indefinite retention when a configured message TTL is actually active. These bounded but material correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 20-28: Update the session_ref backfill in the migration around the
messages UPDATE to enforce JavaScript-compatible UTF-16 length semantics,
matching sessionRefFromMetadata and MAX_SESSION_REF_LENGTH. Replace the SQLite
code-point length condition with an equivalent check that rejects values
exceeding 255 UTF-16 code units while preserving the existing non-empty,
valid-text filtering.
In `@packages/engine/src/engine/inboundWebhook.ts`:
- Around line 195-228: After the required aged_out lookup window, clean up
unused message_sessions rows for webhooks with tokenHash === null, using
last_message_at and the existing index; ensure arbitrary payload.session_ref
values cannot create unbounded durable ledger rows while preserving
active-session behavior.
In `@packages/engine/src/routes/groupDm.ts`:
- Around line 118-123: Update the fingerprint construction in postGroupMessage
to hash the same sanitized metadata that is persisted, treating null and omitted
data consistently. Canonicalize the sanitized metadata with deterministic
object-key ordering before computing data_sha256, while preserving the existing
fingerprintBody structure and attachment handling.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 463: Update the GET sessions messages route listing in README.md to
include the /v1 prefix, matching the SDK’s /v1/sessions/:session_ref/messages
path and keeping the documentation aligned with the public API behavior.
