Issue being fixed or feature implemented

CQuorumDataRequest reads an optional trailing nError byte for QDATA responses, but the QGETDATA request handler also accepted that response-only field. A requester could select one of the missing-data errors that intentionally suppress repeated-request scoring while still forcing response work.

This is the protocol-validation half split out of #7519 so it can be reviewed and merged independently from request-tracking bounds.

What was done?

  • Reject QGETDATA payloads longer than the fixed request encoding with a score of 100.
  • Detect the field by presence rather than decoded value, so explicit NONE, UNDEFINED, and trailing bytes are rejected too.
  • Extend the functional-test message helper to construct the malformed request and verify that the peer is disconnected.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Full local make -j13 build on macOS arm64 using the prebuilt depends tree.
  • /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.9 test/functional/test_runner.py p2p_quorum_data.py
  • git diff --check

test/lint/lint-python.py was invoked but skipped because flake8 is not installed in the local environment.

Breaking Changes

None. nError on an inbound QGETDATA request was never meaningful.

Walkthrough

QGETDATA processing now checks payload size before deserialization and assigns a 100-point misbehavior score to oversized payloads. The functional message supports an optional requester-supplied error byte without changing the default wire format. A functional test verifies disconnection for requester-supplied error values.

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

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1a32e

The PR rejects malformed QGETDATA requests containing response-only error data and adds functional coverage for peer disconnection; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The fixed-size payload gate correctly rejects every response-only or trailing byte before deserialization and applies the intended misbehavior score. The functional test covers the original nonzero-error exploit, but it does not verify the presence-based behavior promised for the two special decoded values.
Source: reviewer backend model: gpt-5.6-sol; final verifier backend model: gpt-5.6-sol. Orchestration-only: openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol (not reviewer evidence).

Validated zero-blocker Codex/Sol precheck evidence was promoted to final because Phase 2 (Sonnet/Opus) is temporarily disabled. This is Codex/Sol-only final validation, not Codex + Sonnet/Opus coverage.

  • Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed)
  • Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
  • Sonnet/Opus: not run (Phase 2 disabled — temporary Codex/Sol-only final)

- [SUGGESTION] test/functional/p2p_quorum_data.py:383-390: Exercise presence-based rejection for both special error bytes
  The PR explicitly requires rejection based on field presence, including serialized `NONE` (`0x00`) and `UNDEFINED` (`0xFF`), but the test sends only `ENCRYPTED_CONTRIBUTIONS_MISSING`. It would therefore pass with a weaker value-based check that rejects ordinary nonzero errors while accepting one or both special values. Exercise both boundary values on fresh peers, while retaining the existing nonzero case, so the regression test distinguishes the size-based implementation from every decoded-value gate.

🟡 Suggestion: Exercise presence-based rejection for both special error bytes

The PR explicitly requires rejection based on field presence, including serialized NONE (0x00) and UNDEFINED (0xFF), but the test sends only ENCRYPTED_CONTRIBUTIONS_MISSING. It would therefore pass with a weaker value-based check that rejects ordinary nonzero errors while accepting one or both special values. Exercise both boundary values on fresh peers, while retaining the existing nonzero case, so the regression test distinguishes the size-based implementation from every decoded-value gate.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The fixed-size QGETDATA payload check rejects response-only error fields and arbitrary trailing bytes before deserialization. The current functional test exercises the ordinary missing-data error plus explicit NONE (0x00) and UNDEFINED (0xFF) values on fresh connections, so the prior coverage finding is fixed and no in-scope issues remain.
Source: reviewer backend model: gpt-5.6-sol; final verifier backend model: gpt-5.6-sol. Orchestration-only: openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol (not reviewer evidence).

Validated zero-blocker Codex/Sol precheck evidence was promoted to final because Phase 2 (Sonnet/Opus) is temporarily disabled. This is Codex/Sol-only final validation, not Codex + Sonnet/Opus coverage.

  • Sonnet/Opus: not run (Phase 2 disabled — temporary Codex/Sol-only final)
