Summary

This PR addresses critical security vulnerabilities and code quality issues identified during a pre-monetization audit. All changes are backward-compatible and include comprehensive tests.

Security Fixes (Critical)

  • URL command injection — Changed exec() to execFile() in http/server.ts to prevent shell injection via malicious URLs
  • DoS prevention — Added MAX_BODY_SIZE (10MB) limits to all HTTP endpoints
  • DoS prevention — Added MAX_FRAME_SIZE (10MB) validation to MCP server frame parsing

Security Fixes (High)

  • Production warnings — Added RECOURSE_INSTANCE_URL env var support with warnings when using localhost in production
  • Audit trail — Log attestation persistence failures instead of silently swallowing them

Code Quality Fixes (Medium)

  • Type safety — Added parseRiskLevels() validator to replace unsafe as any casts (5 locations)
  • Input validation — Added validation to shell command execution with security documentation
  • Error logging — Added error context logging for file read failures
  • Documentation — Documented shell:true usage with security rationale

Features

  • Latency benchmarking — Added SLA_TARGETS and EvaluationTimer for tracking evaluation performance
  • Timing metrics — All evaluator outputs now include timing breakdown and SLA compliance
  • Test coverage — Added test:coverage script with 50% threshold gates
  • CI coverage — Added coverage step to GitHub Actions workflow

Cleanup

  • Converted incomplete TODOs to documented future enhancements
  • Removed references to unimplemented PagerDuty/Opsgenie integrations
  • Updated notification docs to reflect actual supported channels

Test plan

  • All 862 existing tests pass
  • New timing tests added (7 tests)
  • Coverage thresholds met (>50% lines/functions/statements, >45% branches)
  • Build succeeds with no TypeScript errors
  • Manual test of recourse serve to verify URL opening still works
  • Manual test of large request body rejection

Implements configurable failure mode for RecourseOS evaluations:

- 'closed': Block action when evidence unavailable (safest)
- 'review': Escalate to human review (default for OSS)
- 'open': Allow despite missing evidence (dangerous)

Changes:
- Add FailureMode type and utilities in src/core/failure-mode.ts
- Add failureMode option to LocalPolicy
- Apply failure mode logic in terraform evaluator
- Add retry with exponential backoff to AWS client (3 retries, jitter)
- Add comprehensive tests for failure mode behavior

Pro/Enterprise deployments should use 'closed' mode by default.
OSS/self-hosted uses 'review' mode to escalate to human.

Changed useClassifier default from false to true.

Unknown resource types now automatically run through the decision tree
classifier instead of just using the weak default handler. This provides
better safety coverage for resources without explicit handlers.

The classifier can be explicitly disabled via options.classifier = false
if needed.

P1 Badge Fail closed on invalid allowed-risk configuration

parseRiskLevels() currently returns ['allow', 'warn'] when all provided values are invalid (including an empty RECOURSE_ALLOWED_LEVELS), which silently broadens policy instead of rejecting misconfiguration; in both gateway/session-broker paths this can permit operations or credential issuance that operators expected to block. This should fail closed (or throw) when no valid levels are parsed.

P1 Badge Prevent oversized frame check from crashing MCP server

The new max-frame guard throws from readFrame() on large Content-Length, but runMcpServer calls readFrame() inside the input.on('data') loop without a surrounding try/catch, so a single oversized frame can terminate the process via uncaught exception (remote DoS). This path should reject/close the connection gracefully instead of throwing out of the stream handler.
