Bug

Replaying an import still aborted on the first duplicate role, even after #35 widened is_conflict to the 500 unique constraint shape cited in the issue.

Why is_conflict cannot be widened further

Probed each create endpoint against a running FerrisKey 0.7.0 with an already-imported realm. What a duplicate looks like is not uniform:

entity duplicate create recognized before
realm 409 E_CONFLICT yes
realm role 500 {"message":"Internal Server Error: Internal server error"} no
client 500 {"message":"Internal Server Error: Failed to create client"} no
client role 500 generic, same as realm role no
redirect URI 201 — stores a second row no (not an error at all)
web origin 400 "this origin is already registered for the client" yes
user 400 "Email already exists in this realm" yes

Those 500 bodies carry nothing that separates "already exists" from a genuine server failure, so any pattern matching them would also swallow real errors — which is exactly why #35 stopped there and left the issue open. And the redirect case is not an error to classify: the server accepts the duplicate, so every replay silently grew the client's redirect list.

Fix

Read the realm's current state and skip what it already has, instead of deducing it from the create error. Applied to realm, realm roles, clients, client roles, redirect URIs, post-logout redirects, web origins, users, and user role assignments — matched on name for entities, on value for URIs and origins.

  • is_conflict is kept, unchanged, as the fallback for the cases it does recognize and for the race between the read and the create.
  • Skips keep being counted in already_present with a warning naming the entity, so a converging run stays distinguishable from one that did nothing (the issue's second ask).
  • A failed read degrades to "assume absent": the create below then runs and its own error handling decides, rather than the whole import aborting on a read.
  • The realm-role and client-role id backfills now only run when the corresponding listing failed — the listing already seeds the ids they existed to recover.

Client-side, this needs three read endpoints that were missing: list_client_redirects, list_client_post_logout_redirects, list_client_web_origins (all three exist server-side, confirmed live).

Cost

One extra GET per entity kind, plus one per user, on top of the creates. Deliberate: correctness of the replay is what the file's header promises, and the alternative is guessing from an error body that carries no information.

Verification

Against a local FerrisKey server, using examples/realm.yaml and a second blueprint exercising client roles and web origins:

  • cold import → everything created, already_present: 0 (unchanged behaviour);
  • replay → already_present: 12, nothing created, no error, one warning per skipped entity;
  • partial convergence — deleted the viewer role server-side, replayed → roles created: 1, everything else skipped;
  • no accumulation — after several replays, the client still has exactly 1 redirect URI and 1 web origin, and the user exactly 2 roles (this is the regression the 201 above was causing);
  • confidential-client path still reports the client secret.

Test realms deleted afterwards.

Test plan

  • cargo build --workspace
  • cargo test --workspace — 83 passed (+2 covering the new read-degradation helper)
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • Manual cold import, replay, partial-state replay against a running server (above)

cargo fmt was not run: the tree is not rustfmt-clean at main (49 hunks) and CI checks only test + clippy, so reformatting would have buried the diff.

Closes #27

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added client inspection support for redirect URIs, post-logout redirect URIs, and web origins.
    • Import operations now recognize existing realms, roles, clients, users, and related settings before applying changes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate entities and role assignments during repeated imports.
    • Improved import consistency across different server responses and versions.
    • Existing items are reported clearly and skipped instead of causing unnecessary creation errors.

A replay still aborted on the first duplicate role. Widening
`is_conflict` cannot fix the remaining cases: the server answers a
duplicate role or client with a bare 500 whose body carries nothing to
tell it from a genuine failure, so any pattern matching it would also
swallow real errors. A duplicate redirect URI is worse than an error —
it returns 201 and stores a second row, so every replay grew the
client's redirect list unnoticed.

Read what the realm already has and skip it, instead of classifying the
create error: realm, realm roles, clients, client roles, redirect URIs,
post-logout redirects, web origins, users and their role assignments are
all matched against the server's current state first. `is_conflict`
stays as the fallback for the cases it does recognize and for the race
between the read and the create. Skips keep being counted in
`already_present` with a warning naming the entity, so a converging run
stays distinguishable from one that did nothing.

Adds the three list endpoints this needs to the client (redirects,
post-logout redirects, web origins).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client adds methods to list client URI resources. Import replay now reads existing realms, roles, clients, URIs, and users before creation or assignment, records skipped matches, and limits fallback backfills to failed listings.

Changes

Import convergence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client URI list contracts
libs/ferriskey-cli-client/src/lib.rs
Adds ClientUriEntry and methods for listing client redirects, post-logout redirects, and web origins.
Realm and client preflight
libs/ferriskey-cli-core/src/import/apply.rs
Lists existing realms, realm roles, and clients before creation. Existing identifiers are recorded as already present.
Client resource convergence
libs/ferriskey-cli-core/src/import/apply.rs
Skips existing redirect URIs, post-logout redirects, web origins, and client roles. Backfills roles only when initial listings fail.
User and role convergence
libs/ferriskey-cli-core/src/import/apply.rs
Resolves existing users and assigned roles before creation or assignment. Adds tests for URI collection and read failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b04ef

Replay convergence can still duplicate redirect URIs after a read failure or omit role assignments during concurrent imports, while HTTP-configured clients may expose credentials. These issues should be resolved before merging.

reqwest 0.12 redirect policy Authorization header HTTP HTTPS official documentation

💡 Result:

In reqwest 0.12, the client follows a security-conscious redirect policy that automatically strips sensitive headers—including Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and WWW-Authenticate—when a redirect crosses an origin boundary [1][2]. An origin change is defined by a difference in the host, port, or scheme (e.g., redirecting from HTTPS to HTTP) [2][3]. If a redirect occurs between different hosts, ports, or schemes, these headers are removed from the subsequent request to prevent potential credential leakage to third-party services [2][3]. Because this behavior is hardcoded in the client's internal redirect handling, there is no built-in option to keep the Authorization header during cross-origin redirects [4]. If your application requires maintaining these headers across redirects (for example, when redirecting to a trusted CDN), the recommended approach is to disable automatic redirects using Policy::none and implement custom redirect logic [5][6][4]. To handle this manually, you can perform the initial request with redirect following disabled, check the response status for a redirection code (e.g., 301, 302, 307, 308), extract the Location header, and issue a new request manually with the desired headers intact [5][4]. Example of manual redirect handling: let client = Client::builder.redirect(redirect::Policy::none).build?; let mut res = client.get("https://example.com").send.await?; while res.status.is_redirection { if let Some(location) = res.headers.get(header::LOCATION) { let next_url = location.to_str?; res = client.get(next_url).send.await?; } else { break; } }

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-319): Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Require encrypted transport for bearer-authenticated requests.

FerriskeyClient::new accepts http:// URLs, and get_json sends the bearer token to the configured URL. Reject non-loopback cleartext URLs, or require an explicit development-only exception. Reqwest removes Authorization on cross-origin redirects, so no separate redirect change is required.

Refresh role IDs after a create conflict.

A concurrent importer can create a role after the initial listing. This import then records the create conflict as already_present, but it has no ID for that role. These guards prevent the required refresh. Realm-role assignment is skipped, and client-role assignment returns UnresolvedClientRole.

  • libs/ferriskey-cli-core/src/import/apply.rs#L162-L162: refresh missing realm-role IDs after a recognized create conflict.
  • libs/ferriskey-cli-core/src/import/apply.rs#L393-L395: refresh missing client-role IDs after a recognized create conflict.

Do not treat a failed redirect listing as an empty redirect list.

When list_client_redirects fails during a replay, this returns an empty set and the redirect loop posts every configured URI. The redirect endpoint accepts an existing value with 201 and stores a second row, so is_conflict cannot stop the duplicate. Return the listing failure for redirects, or skip that client’s redirect creation when the list is unavailable.

is_conflict is too narrow, so an import does not converge on replay
