…seen The mock /routing/v1 store accepted any PUT, so a stale re-PUT rolled a name back and every client that held the newer record failed the adoption gate at the sequence stage. The PUT handler now reads protobuf field 5 of the incoming record. It refuses a record whose sequence is lower than the stored one, and a record whose sequence cannot be read, with 400 and no change to the store. An equal sequence stays a 200: that is the keyless re-PUT keep-alive the API republisher and the engine's hourly pass both send, and a real endpoint acks it. The store stays in memory, so a restart still resets it. The server moves into src/server.ts behind buildServer, so the new vitest suite drives the routes with fastify.inject. A Mock Routing Store job in the Repo area typechecks, builds and runs that suite on every pull request, and the image prunes its dev tree after the build.
WalkthroughThe mock IPNS routing service now validates record sequences, rejects unreadable or older records, and exposes a reusable Fastify factory. Dedicated tests cover update behavior. Build, container, and CI workflows now run the service checks. ChangesMock IPNS routing store

Reject varints outside the uint64 range.
A ten-byte varint can terminate with a byte greater than 0x01. Line 68 then returns a bigint greater than 2^64 - 1, although IPNS field 5 is uint64. The PUT route accepts that malformed record instead of returning the required unreadable-sequence 400 response.
Reject the value when count === 9 and the final byte is greater than 0x01. Add a test with field 5 encoded as nine 0x80 bytes followed by 0x02.
Proposed fix
const byte = record[index];
+ if (count === MAX_VARINT_BYTES - 1 && byte > 0x01) {
+ return null;
+ }
value |= BigInt(byte & 0x7f) << shift;📝 Committable suggestion

Restrict untrusted writes to the mock routing service.
The unauthenticated PUT route accepts unsigned records and permits cross-origin requests. A reachable client can set a high sequence for a name and block later lower-sequence records until the state is cleared. Require an authenticated test client, restrict CORS to known test origins, or enforce loopback isolation in every launch path.

Symptom
On the local stack, the web refused to open a folder with "adoption gate rejected at stage [sequence]: [sequence-not-newer]", and the desktop listed one file where the web had listed four.
Evidence
The routing log for the folder's name held eight
PUTs, all answered 200, at 13:05:09Z, 13:05:39Z three times, 13:15:48Z three times, and 14:02:38Z once. The record the store served hadsequence4 and a validity of 2026-12-05T13:05:39Z, so it was signed at 13:05:39Z. The threePUTs at 13:15:48Z carried the web's uploads at sequences above 4. ThePUTat 14:02:38Z re-PUT the sequence-4 bytes one hour after the desktop instance started at 13:02Z. That is the engine's hourly keyless re-PUT of the records it holds. The desktop held a stale copy because of a separate defect, fixed since.Cause
tools/mock-ipns-routing/src/index.tsstored whatever aPUTcarried. The comment said so: "We intentionally don't validate sequence numbers here." A real routing endpoint keeps the highest sequence it holds for a name. The mock therefore let a stale re-PUT roll the name back from sequence 7 to 4, and every client that held the newer record read the rollback as the trust violation it would be in production.Change
The
PUThandler reads protobuf field 5, thesequenceuint64 varint, of the incoming record. The store keeps the sequence it read at write time, so it never re-parses a record it already accepted.The store stays an in-memory
Map, so a restart still resets it./resetand/forget/:nameare unchanged. The varint reader is a copy ofapps/api/src/republisher/record-sequence-reader.ts, because this tool is not a pnpm workspace member and imports nothing from the monorepo.The server moves into
src/server.tsbehindbuildServer, andsrc/index.tskeeps only the listen call. That lets the suite drive the routes throughfastify.injectwith no port and no shared state between tests.Deviation from the issue, please read
The issue asks for 400 on a lower or equal sequence. An equal sequence must stay a 200, and the change ships it that way. Two callers re-PUT the record they already hold, byte for byte, at the sequence the store already has:
apps/api/src/republisher/republisher.task.tswalkNameresolves a record and re-PUTs the same bytes. That is the keyless re-PUT the API is built on. Under a 400 the re-PUT throws,markRepublishednever runs, and after the staleness window every name in the inventory raises an alert.apps/api/.env.examplepointsROUTING_V1_URLat this same store, so the local stack would break as well, and.github/workflows/scheduled-liveness.ymlwould failrepublisher-stack.scheduled.test.ts, which asserts that the walk republished every name it walked.crates/engine/src/net/publish.rsre-PUTs the same bytes to any endpoint that missed the first ack, andcrates/engine/src/net/liveness.rsre-PUTs every held record hourly.The engine's own model of a real endpoint agrees.
crates/engine/src/testkit/fakes/record_store.rskeeps the held record only whenheld > incomingand acks the write either way, under a test nameda_stale_put_is_acked_and_loses_to_the_held_sequence.Refusing the strictly lower sequence fixes the reported incident exactly, because the re-PUT at 14:02:38Z carried sequence 4 against a stored 7. If you want the equal case refused as well, say so and I will change the republisher contract in the same breath.
Tests
tools/mock-ipns-routing/src/server.test.ts, six cases, built on hand-encoded protobuf bytes rather than a mocked reader:sequencefield answers 400 and the stored record survives;sequencevarint answers 400 and the stored record survives;GETanswers 404.The suite runs in a new Mock Routing Store job in the Repo area of the pull-request gate, which typechecks, builds and tests the tool with its own npm. The Repo area is the only gate that blocks every merge, so the job answers to no path filter. It shares the npm cache key that
.github/actions/mock-ipns-routingalready uses.tsconfig.jsonnow covers the test file fortsc --noEmit, and a newtsconfig.build.jsonexcludes it from the emitted build, which is the conventionapps/apiandpackages/clientalready follow. The image prunes its dev tree after the build, so vitest does not ship in the container.The Contract Suite skipped on the first run. Its own comment says it boots this record store, but its filter named only
rustandts, and the store sits in neither. It now answers toe2eas well, which already liststools/mock-ipns-routing/**, so a change to the store runs the suite that depends on it. Both the Web E2E Smoke slice and the Contract Suite now run against the rebuilt container and pass.I also built the container under a throwaway tag on port 3999, replayed the incident against it, and removed it. A
PUTof sequence 4 against a stored sequence 7 answered 400 and left the record at 7. A re-PUT of the sequence-7 bytes answered 200. The running local stack was not touched.Consumers checked
packages/client/src/seams/recordTransport.tsandapps/api/src/republisher/record-transport.tsboth throw on any non-200 and do not tell 400 from 500. No change needed under the shipped rule.tests/web-e2e,tests/desktop-e2eandtests/cross-clientnever reset or seed the store, and never call/resetor/forget/:name. Each spec mints a throwaway wallet, so no name is written by two specs, and every save inside a spec publishes at the next sequence. No harness needed adapting.crates/engine/src/net/liveness.rsandcrates/engine/src/net/publish.rsre-PUT identical bytes. Both stay 200 under the shipped rule.apps/api/src/republisher/republisher.task.tsandrepublisher-stack.scheduled.test.tsare the reason the equal case stays a 200, as set out above.crates/core/src/ipns/record.rsalways emits field 5, and the first publish embeds sequence 1, so no record this codebase signs can hit the unreadable branch.Reviews
/simplifyran over four angles. It moved the sequence rule to the strictly lower comparison, split the build tsconfig from the typecheck tsconfig, added the vitest include glob, shared the npm cache key with the composite action, pruned the dev tree from the image, and trimmed the comments that restated the code. Kept, with reasons: the copied varint reader, which the workspace boundary requires; the verbatim shape of that copy, so a reviewer can diff it against the original; and the job's place in the Repo area, since no other always-running gate exists./security-reviewran over the parse path, the log and JSON surfaces, the BigInt handling, the workflow job and the image. It proved thatreadSequenceterminates on every input in O(n) time and O(1) extra space, withncapped by Fastify's 1 MiB body limit; that no BigInt can reach a serializer or a bounds check asInfinityorNaN; that the path segment cannot forge a JSON key, a log record, or a header; and that the compare-and-set spans noawait, so two concurrent PUTs cannot interleave. The prune keeps every runtime package, becausefastifyandpino-prettyare the only two dependencies.Three findings are folded in:
persist-credentials: false, because the steps after it run npm and vitest over third-party code and no git operation needs the token, which is the reasoning the neighbouring Updater Key job already states;/forget/:name,/reset, or a restart clears it;crates/engine/src/testkit/fakes/record_store.rs, which keeps the held record only when its sequence is strictly higher.Three findings are recorded and not folded, with reasons:
sequence.tsreads the first field 5 rather than the last, and accepts a varint wider than 64 bits. Both diverge from a strict protobuf decoder. The file is a deliberate verbatim copy of the API reader, and a store that parses differently from the republisher would be worse than the residual risk inside a hermetic localhost store. The same two properties are harmless in the API, where a misread only skips a cache update.npm ci --ignore-scriptswould harden the runner, but vitest pulls esbuild, whose platform binary depends on an install script, and the job already runs vitest plugin code regardless. The benefit does not cover the risk of a red gate.npm prune --omit=devremoves the dev tree from the final overlay, not from the image history. The useful half stands, which is that the running container cannot resolve those modules. A multi-stage rewrite of the Dockerfile is a larger change to a file the local stack builds.The unbounded record
Map, theAccess-Control-Allow-Origin: *header, and the0.0.0.0bind all predate this change and are unchanged by it.Crypto review is not required. The change touches no key material, no seal, no signature check and no wire format that this repo signs. The reader parses one public ordering field and never validates a record.
Closes #1796.
Note
Fix mock IPNS routing store to hold highest sequence seen
buildServerin server.ts now rejects records with unreadable sequences (400), rejects lower sequences than stored (400), and accepts equal or higher sequences. Equal sequences use last-writer-wins replacement.tsconfig.build.json, and Dockerfile build step using the package build script with dev dependencies pruned after compilation.Macroscope summarized 2d91de3.
