Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route

[amitkarpe]

Refs #63 and #62.

M1 result

One stable, bookmarkable NEW Home sec2 URL uses Tailscale Funnel: https://home.tail0e0c85.ts.net/. It has no visible port and proxies only to Home loopback 127.0.0.1:4311. The owner-confirmed disposable test route to an unused port was replaced. The same PR was rebased onto current main, retaining merged M2 cockpit/Harness work.

Lifecycle and safety

scripts/home_demo.py public-start first requires the canonical exact-head Home validation, then enables only the exact sec2 route. public-status checks that route and local sec2 health. public-stop disables only that route and leaves Home sec2/config2 running. Home uses existing noninteractive sudo for the exact Tailscale route change; no operator setting or app port was changed.

Public /login and /api/config returned HTTP 200 with TLS verification 0. A browser forced through the public IPv4 Funnel edge loaded the real login form and /api/config with no page errors. The URL survived a normal NEW sec2 backend restart. After public-stop, public access failed while both local apps stayed HTTP 200; a subsequent validated public-start restored the same URL. The old Cloudflare quick tunnel is stopped; the separate named connector is not the canonical M1 route.

Validation

• Exact final head: 43157f48ed044068bab7c6ce19049e34fb0cb17d.
• Home canonical browser Status / Explain / no-change Plan: PASS 3/3, all test conversations archived, one read-only MCP tool, zero actions.
• python3 scripts/home_demo.py validate: PASS, four aliases, eight checks, two controls.
• Focused Home tests, Python compile/diff check, cockpit Node check: PASS.
• GitHub CI and GitGuardian: PASS; PR mergeability: CLEAN.
• A broad local suite on Node 22 has one unrelated deferred native pause-gate test failure; GitHub CI uses Node 24 and passed. No Issue M3C: trusted pause registration and isolated native canary acceptance #11/PR M3 canary: isolated normal authentication and native acceptance evidence #13 code was changed.

No AWS/cloud mutation, broad DNS/IAM/network change, OLD demo change, retained EC2 restart, Lightsail/vagent change, router forwarding, or secret was committed or posted to GitHub. PR remains open for G review/merge.

HANDOFF: CHATGPT — BLOCKED at provider account setting

• Issue: Roadmap v2 M1: stable bookmarkable Home HTTPS demo URL #63 (Roadmap v2 parent Roadmap v2: demo-ready multi-account compliance and governed remediation #62)
• PR: Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64
• Exact head: c455cc83686a4c5a95411485fb80cfd05f9729a0
• Provider: Tailscale Funnel for one stable HTTPS Home sec2 route. The stable URL is not active yet; no URL is claimed as accepted.

Implemented in this PR: scripts/home_demo.py adds public-start, public-status, and public-stop, with exact sec2-only route checks and canonical read-only validation before exposure. The Home runbook documents start/status/stop/recovery. CONTEXT and ROADMAP now record Issue #62 authority and the M1 gate. One focused existing-test-file regression checks unrelated-route refusal and the provider enablement error.

Validation:

• Home exact-head canonical browser acceptance: Status, Explain, no-change Plan PASS 3/3; 8 checks each; one read-only tool, zero actions; all test conversations archived.
• Home python3 scripts/home_demo.py validate: PASS.
• public-status and public-stop: HOME_DEMO_PUBLIC_OFF; Home-local operation unaffected.
• public-start: local validator PASS, then provider enablement blocked. Direct Tailscale CLI said Funnel is not enabled on your tailnet. The lifecycle reports a bounded timeout rather than waiting indefinitely.
• Provider readback: zero Funnel routes and zero pending Funnel CLI processes.
• Focused tests: 7 PASS. Python compile and diff check: PASS. GitHub CI and GitGuardian: PASS.

Security boundary: only Home sec2 loopback would be exposed through one HTTPS port 443 route after the owner enables Funnel. No wildcard/custom DNS, router forwarding, AWS/cloud mutation, broad IAM/network change, OLD demo mutation, retained EC2 restart, or secret publication. Issue #11 / PR #13 remain deferred and untouched.

Remaining gate: tailnet owner enables Funnel for the Home device. Then X can re-run the same PR's start/status, verify the stable public TLS/login URL across a normal Home demo process restart, stop the connector, and prove Home-local health persists. PR stays draft and unmerged until that live acceptance is recorded.

Owner update for M1 closeout:

• Cloudflare transport has now been manually proven against the actual config2 origin on Home:
  ~/.local/bin/cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:4313
  produced a reachable public HTTPS endpoint. The browser reached the app and received the application-level response {"error":"Approved same-origin access only"}. The quick tunnel was then stopped. Treat this as transport PASS / app-origin policy not yet accepted, not as the final M1 URL.
• Tailscale Funnel permission is enabled on the tailnet. A manual Funnel test also started successfully, but it was pointed at an unused port, so that test is not an app failure.
• Owner prefers memorable local ports such as 1111 / 2222 when that is consistent with the shared port protocol.
• Before changing any local app/listener/proxy port, read and follow the local shared protocol exactly at:
  /home/user/.codex/port.md
• Do not publish the contents if they contain private/local details.
• If the port protocol reserves/forbids 1111 or 2222, follow the protocol instead of the preference.
• Do not change ports merely for cosmetics if it would destabilize the accepted Home runtime. A public HTTPS URL must still have no visible port.

Keep the same PR #64. Determine the actual supported origin from runtime truth, resolve the same-origin restriction only if needed for the chosen canonical route, test both providers end-to-end against the real app, and leave exactly one canonical stable public route active at acceptance.

Additional durable checkpoint after G merged M2 PR #66:

• main advanced to cca4b1dec354e9b92347b150594d3dd145044a55.
• PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 is now reported non-mergeable against the updated main. Keep the same PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 and reconcile/rebase it; do not create a replacement PR.
• Preserve the accepted M2 cockpit/Harness work from main.
• Before any local port change, read /home/user/.codex/port.md and follow it. Owner preference is memorable local ports 1111/2222 only when the protocol allows and changing the listener is actually useful.
• The public URL itself must remain HTTPS with no visible port.
• Cloudflare quick-tunnel test to 127.0.0.1:4313 proved public transport reached the app but hit app-level same-origin protection; do not use that random URL as M1 acceptance.
• Tailscale Funnel capability is enabled; previous manual Funnel failures were against unused ports and are not product failures.

Finish the active dual-provider closeout mission, reconcile this PR onto current main, then post the final HANDOFF: CHATGPT.

HANDOFF: CHATGPT — M1/F1 provider recheck remains BLOCKED at route ownership/configuration

• Existing PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 head remains c455cc83686a4c5a95411485fb80cfd05f9729a0; no source or public-route change was made. The selected dirty Issue POLISH: KISS Markdown output for sec2 AWS Ops Compliance Agent #49 checkout was preserved.
• Home local truth: sec2 listens on loopback 4311, config2 on loopback 4313; neither 8000, 8443, nor 4444 has the needed listener. Exact-head canonical browser Status / Explain / no-change Plan passed 3/3 with Archive 3/3, one read-only MCP tool and zero actions. python3 scripts/home_demo.py validate passed: four aliases, eight checks, two controls, one tool, zero actions.
• Tailscale: the tailnet is now online with Funnel enabled, correcting the prior account-setting blocker. However, the sole existing Serve/Funnel HTTPS route points to localhost:8888, where no service listens. Its public /login smoke returned HTTP 502 with valid TLS. PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 public-status, public-start, and public-stop correctly refused this non-sec2 route; the route was preserved and Home local health stayed 200. It cannot safely be replaced without establishing that this is an owner-disposable test route.
• Cloudflare: Home has a cloudflared binary and a pre-existing quick-tunnel process to sec2 4311. A separate token-backed named connector was observed briefly, then exited. No owner-private token file, local named-tunnel config, public hostname, or hostname-to-origin mapping was discoverable in the existing awsops private config, and no named connector remains running. Therefore a named route cannot yet be validated or restarted safely. The earlier quick-tunnel failure on 8000 is not evidence against Cloudflare; the actual sec2 origin is 4311.
• Provider comparison: neither provider currently proves a stable, working sec2 URL. I did not infer a Cloudflare failure or replace the unrelated Tailscale route. No canonical provider was selected, no stable URL was claimed, and no restart/stop acceptance was claimed.

Smallest unblock: owner identifies the Cloudflare named-tunnel public hostname and existing private token file/env path (values stay private), or confirms the current Tailscale 8888 route is disposable and may be replaced with PR #64's exact sec2 route. Then rerun one provider's public HTTPS, restart-persistence, stop and local-health checks; leave only the accepted canonical route active. No AWS/cloud write, broad DNS/network change, OLD demo change, retained EC2 restart, Lightsail/vagent change, or Issue #11/PR #13 work occurred.

[amitkarpe]

Owner confirms the current Tailscale Funnel route to localhost:8888 was a manual test route created during this session and is disposable. It may be replaced by the canonical PR #64 sec2 route.

Use current Home runtime truth:

• sec2 loopback: 4311
• config2 loopback: 4313
• do not change local app ports just for cosmetics
• public URL must have no visible port

Proceed with Tailscale Funnel as the canonical M1 path unless a new real blocker appears. Replace only the disposable 8888 Funnel route with the exact sec2 4311 route, then prove public /login reachability, restart persistence, public-stop, and local Home health. Preserve M2/main work and reconcile PR #64 onto current main before merge.

[amitkarpe]

Owner update — Cloudflare named tunnel is now available and should be evaluated before final M1 provider selection.

Observed owner state:

• Stable hostname chosen: https://app.amitk.life/
• Cloudflare named tunnel: app.amitk.life
• Connector is healthy/connected on Home.
• Owner starts the connector with a private token sourced from ~/.env; token value must never be committed, logged, or posted.
• The owner command included --url http://127.0.0.1:4313, but for a token-backed named tunnel the Cloudflare dashboard route/hostname-to-origin mapping is authoritative. Inspect the actual named route; do not assume CLI --url set it.
• Prior quick-tunnel transport to config2 4313 reached the app but hit the exact application same-origin guard. That proves transport, not final app acceptance.

M1 decision update:

1. Prefer the custom stable hostname app.amitk.life if it can be bounded to the real NEW Home app cleanly.
2. Since PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 is sec2-oriented and sec2 is the public/login surface, first test whether the exact Cloudflare route can point app.amitk.life -> http://127.0.0.1:4311.
3. If the current route points to config2 4313, change only this one exact named-tunnel route under the existing M1 authority; no wildcard/broad DNS changes.
4. Validate https://app.amitk.life/login publicly, restart persistence, connector stop behavior, and local Home health.
5. Keep Tailscale Funnel as fallback only; leave exactly one canonical stable public route active at M1 acceptance.
6. Do not weaken same-origin checks broadly. If an app-side exact-host allowance is actually required, constrain it only to app.amitk.life and document/validate it in this same PR.

Keep same PR #64 and preserve merged M2/main work.

HANDOFF: CHATGPT — Roadmap v2 M1/F1 live acceptance on existing PR #64

• Provider and URL: Tailscale Funnel, https://home.tail0e0c85.ts.net/, no visible port. Exact Home route readback: one HTTPS 443 Funnel mapping to NEW sec2 loopback 127.0.0.1:4311. The owner-confirmed disposable 8888 test route was removed. Cloudflare named tunnel remains unselected; the old random quick tunnel is stopped.
• Exact PR branch/head: g/issue-63-stable-home-url @ 43157f48ed044068bab7c6ce19049e34fb0cb17d, rebased on current main cca4b1dec354e9b92347b150594d3dd145044a55. Merged M2 cockpit/Harness files are retained. PR is mergeable/CLEAN; it remains draft and unmerged for G review.
• Public proof: /login and /api/config returned HTTP 200 with TLS verify result 0. Both public IPv4 Funnel edges returned /login 200/verify 0 after propagation. A real browser forced through a public Funnel edge loaded the normal sec2 login form, fetched /api/config 200, stayed on the stable hostname, and had zero page errors. This distinguishes public ingress from private tailnet DNS resolution.
• Restart/stop proof: restarting only the NEW Home sec2 backend left the same public URL at /login 200/verify 0. PR lifecycle public-stop removed the Funnel route; the public connection then failed while local sec2 and config2 remained HTTP 200. A final exact-head validated public-start restored the same URL, which remains the canonical active route. No local app port was changed.
• Exact-head Home acceptance: canonical Status, Explain, and no-change Plan browser run PASS 3/3, Archive 3/3, one read-only MCP tool and zero actions. python3 scripts/home_demo.py validate PASS with four aliases, eight checks, two controls, one tool, zero actions, three prompts and three archives. Focused Home tests 7/7, Python compile/diff check, and cockpit Node check passed. GitHub CI and GitGuardian passed at this head.
• Local limitation: the broad suite under office Node 22 has one pre-existing deferred native pause-gate rehearsal failure; GitHub CI uses Node 24 and passed. No Issue M3C: trusted pause registration and isolated native canary acceptance #11/PR M3 canary: isolated normal authentication and native acceptance evidence #13 code was changed.
• Files changed in PR: scripts/home_demo.py, tests/test_home_demo_validate.py, integration/runtime/home/README.md, CONTEXT.md, and ROADMAP.md. The lifecycle uses existing noninteractive sudo for the exact route change and refuses unrelated routes. No AWS/cloud mutation, broad DNS/IAM/network change, OLD demo mutation, retained EC2 restart, Lightsail/vagent change, router forwarding, or secret was committed or posted to GitHub.

PASS: M1 stable URL, public application smoke, restart persistence, stop/public-off and local-health proof, exact-head browser/validator, and current-main reconciliation. Ready for G review/merge; Issue #11 remains deferred and M4/M5 mutation remains unauthorized.

Owner runtime report after M1 public URL acceptance:

• Public URL loads the real sec2 login page successfully.
• Owner attempted login using the existing private Home credentials from the awsops .env, but the UI returned an invalid-credentials error.
• Do not post the email, password, hash, token, or private env values to GitHub/logs.
• Diagnose whether the value in .env is actually intended to be a LibreChat/UI login password, whether the expected account exists in the current Home auth datastore, and whether the public URL/auth callback/origin configuration changes login behavior.
• Use the same Home runtime and exact PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 head. Prefer read-only inspection and a local/API login check with private credentials held only in the process environment.
• If this is only stale/wrong owner credential data, stop and report the exact owner action needed; do not rotate/reset credentials without explicit authorization.
• If this is a repository/config bug, keep any bounded fix in the same PR Roadmap v2 M1: stable Home sec2 HTTPS route #64 and rerun local + public login validation without exposing secrets.

M1 public transport acceptance remains valid; this is now an authenticated-use closeout check.

HANDOFF: CHATGPT — PR #64 Home sec2 owner login closeout

• Exact PR head: 43157f48ed044068bab7c6ce19049e34fb0cb17d on g/issue-63-stable-home-url; no repository files or public route changed.
• Root cause of the reported invalid-credentials attempt: the office awsops .env sec2 login fields identify a different account and password from the single current Home LibreChat owner record. The Home-private owner credential succeeded against both local and public login APIs before the owner-requested reset. This was credential-source drift, not a public-host/origin or repository configuration defect.
• Following explicit owner authorization, the existing Home owner record was updated in place to the requested identity and password using LibreChat-compatible bcrypt. Its user identity and agent ownership were preserved; no additional user was created. The owner-private credential file was updated atomically with mode 0600. No credential value, hash, email, token, or auth record is included here.
• After reset, local and public /api/auth/login each returned HTTP 200 with an authenticated response. Public /login returned HTTP 200 with TLS verification result 0. Config2 health returned HTTP 200.
• Canonical exact-head Home validator PASS: four aliases, eight checks, two controls, one read-only MCP tool, zero actions, three prompts and three archived test conversations.
• Remaining owner action: use the newly requested Home owner login for the next UI sign-in; the office .env fields are not the Home owner login source. The prior Home credential should be treated as superseded by the requested reset.

[amitkarpe]

Owner confirmation: authenticated browser login on the accepted public Tailscale URL now works. This closes the UI-login functional check. Do not publish any credential values or screenshots containing secrets. The separate Cloudflare named-tunnel token rotation remains a security hygiene follow-up because that token appeared in an internal tool transcript; it was not committed or posted to GitHub.
