test(zerocode): cover insecure-TLS confirmation flow (#7693)

[wangmiao0668000666]

Summary

• Base branch: master (commit 717845fd2)
• What changed and why:
  • The zerocode TUI accepts insecure-TLS WSS connections only after an explicit operator confirmation prompt. Two existing test seams already cover the storage layer (config::persist_wss_route_ack dedup + section preservation, WssTlsSection::route_acked membership, and resolve_wss_target mode transitions), but the confirmation prompt itself — the function that reads stdin and decides between InsecureTlsChoice::{Once, Always, Abort} — was previously unreachable from tests because it hardcoded stdin().read_line + eprintln!/eprint!.
  • Extract confirm_insecure_tls_with<R: BufRead, W: Write>(reader, writer, url) as the testable core that takes the prompt and answer I/O as generic arguments. Keep confirm_insecure_tls(url) as a thin wrapper that locks stdin() and writes the prompt to stderr(), preserving the existing public signature used by run() at apps/zerocode/src/main.rs:289. No production behavior change.
  • Add 10 deterministic regression tests in apps/zerocode/src/main.rs::confirm_insecure_tls_tests. Tests are zero-network, zero-credential, and zero-mock for the input-mapping cases; one static-source test pins the structural invariant that the InsecureTlsChoice::Abort arm of the production match block does not invoke config::persist_wss_route_ack.

• Commands run and tail output: see above. 10 new tests in confirm_insecure_tls_tests, all passing on first run; no existing test regressed (366 pre-existing tests still pass).
• Beyond CI — what did you manually verify:
  • The static-source invariant test abort_arm_of_confirm_match_must_not_call_persist parses the actual main.rs byte content via include_str!, locates the match confirm_insecure_tls(url)? { block by brace-pair scan, slices the InsecureTlsChoice::Abort arm body, and asserts it does not contain the substring persist_wss_route_ack(&local_config_dir, url)?. The test passes against the current production code (confirming the invariant holds today) and will fail loudly if a future refactor moves the persist call into the Abort arm.
  • The prompt-content test confirm_prompt_writes_url_and_choice_menu_to_writer drives confirm_insecure_tls_with with a fake Cursor<&[u8]> reader and a Vec<u8> writer, then asserts the captured stderr text contains (a) the URL being confirmed, (b) the [y/a/N] choice menu, and (c) the leading WARNING banner. Operator cannot skim past an insecure-TLS confirmation without seeing all three.
• If any command was intentionally skipped, why: The Pre-Push Hook .githooks/pre-push provider-dispatch gate invokes rg (ripgrep), which is not installed in this environment — the rg binary is a Claude Code wrapper that exits with status 127 when invoked outside the Claude shell (Skill 10.1 documented exception). The dispatch-gate regex \.(chat|stream_chat|simple_chat|chat_with_system|chat_with_history|chat_with_tools|list_models|list_models_with_pricing|warmup)\( was explicitly checked against git diff upstream/master...HEAD -- '*.rs' — zero matches. Local fmt + clippy + test gates all green before push via --no-verify --force-with-lease. The exception is documented in the commit message as required.

Security & Privacy Impact (required)

• Permissions / capabilities / file-system access changed? No — same permissions, same capabilities, same file-system paths.
• New external network calls? No.
• Secrets / tokens / credentials handling changed? No — same fields, same values.
• PII / real identities in diff, tests, fixtures, or docs? No — placeholder URLs like wss://example.test:1, wss://insecure-host.example:8443. No captured tenant fixtures.
• Trust boundary tightening: The static-source invariant test pins the structural property that InsecureTlsChoice::Abort cannot silently call persist_wss_route_ack(&local_config_dir, url)?. If a future refactor moves the persist call into the Abort arm, the operator's declined insecure-TLS choice would be silently stored on disk — a security regression with no other test coverage. This test fires loudly on that exact regression.

Compatibility / Migration (required)

• API change? Internal-only. confirm_insecure_tls(url) -> anyhow::Result<InsecureTlsChoice> retains its original signature; confirm_insecure_tls_with<R: BufRead, W: Write> is a new private helper. InsecureTlsChoice is unchanged.
• Backward compatible? Yes — the only caller (run() at main.rs:289) is unaffected because confirm_insecure_tls(url) still exists with the same signature and identical behavior.
• Config / env / CLI surface changed? No — no new config keys, no new env vars, no new CLI flags.
• Migration steps required? None.
• Behavior change observable to end users? None — operators still see the same WARNING banner, the same [y/a/N] menu, the same input mapping. The only change is that the prompt is now written via writeln!/write! macros against a &mut W: Write parameter instead of eprintln!/eprint! against the hardcoded stderr() handle — byte-identical output.

i18n Follow-Through (required)

No user-visible strings changed. The WARNING banner, the [y/a/N] choice menu, and the Continue with verification disabled? prompt are emitted verbatim from the existing prompt source; only their delivery mechanism moved from eprintln! to writeln!(writer, ...). No t!() macro calls were modified.

Human Verification (required)

• Read through confirm_insecure_tls_with and the confirm_insecure_tls thin wrapper. Confirmed that the public signature is preserved, the match arm logic is byte-identical to the pre-refactor inline implementation, and the ?-propagated writeln!/write! I/O errors replace the previously-ignored eprintln! panic-on-IO semantics with Result-flow that the existing run()? chain already handles.
• Read through all 10 tests and confirmed each pins a specific observable property: input → choice mapping for the 7 lower-case variants + 2 uppercase variants, prompt content for the URL+menu+WARNING, and the structural invariant for the Abort arm.
• Did NOT manually drive a real zerocode session in this environment (no WSS endpoint configured); the unit tests cover the same code path with deterministic input/output buffers.

Side Effects / Blast Radius (required)

• No external consumer reaches into confirm_insecure_tls — the function is fn (private), called only from run() at main.rs:289. The refactor is invisible to all other modules.
• The confirm_insecure_tls_with<R: BufRead, W: Write> helper is also fn (private); no other module depends on its signature.
• The 10 new tests live in a new #[cfg(test)] mod confirm_insecure_tls_tests block appended after the existing connection_tests block. They do not interact with any production state — each test creates a fresh Cursor and Vec<u8> and discards them after the assertion.
• The static-source invariant test abort_arm_of_confirm_match_must_not_call_persist reads main.rs via include_str!. The match block detection is by brace-pair depth scan, which is robust to whitespace, comments, and rustfmt rewrapping. If a future refactor substantially restructures the match confirm_insecure_tls(url)? { ... } shape (e.g., extracts it into a helper function), the test's find(MATCH_OPEN) may fail and the test will need to be updated — this is a deliberate coupling so the invariant remains coupled to the actual production structure.

Agent Collaboration Notes (optional)

• Future contributors adding new operator prompts to zerocode (e.g., for --insecure-transport for non-TLS WSS, or for --allow-downgrade) should follow the same confirm_*_with<R: BufRead, W: Write> seam pattern so the prompt logic can be unit-tested without touching stdin / stderr. The thin-wrapper convention confirm_*(arg) -> Result<...> { let stdin = stdin(); let mut stderr = stderr(); confirm_*_with(stdin.lock(), &mut stderr, arg) } is now the project idiom for this crate.
• The static-source invariant test pattern (parsing the production source via include_str! and asserting a structural property) is appropriate when the alternative would be spinning up an end-to-end fixture too expensive to maintain. Use it sparingly — fragile to large refactors — but prefer it over omitting the invariant entirely when the cost of end-to-end coverage is prohibitive.

Rollback Plan (required)

Single commit. git revert <commit-sha> restores the prior confirm_insecure_tls(url) inline implementation and removes the 10 tests. No schema, config, or public API changes to roll back. No migration steps needed in either direction.

Risks and Mitigations (required)

Risk	Mitigation
writeln! / write! ?-propagation replaces eprintln! panic-on-IO semantics	The existing run()? chain already handles anyhow::Error from upstream I/O; a stderr write failure surfaces the same way as a stdin read failure. Equivalent observable behavior.
Static-source invariant test could fail on a legitimate refactor that moves the match into a helper	The test will fail loudly with a precise message naming the missing marker; the reviewer can update both the production code and the test in the same PR. Acceptable tradeoff for guarding a security-sensitive invariant.
Operator mistypes ya or a! thinking it should be Once/Always	The match arm uses trim().to_ascii_lowercase() then exact-match against "y" | "yes" / "a" | "always" / _. Anything else defaults to Abort. Tested explicitly with confirm_input_junk_returns_abort.
stdin().lock() holds the stdin lock for the duration of the prompt	The thin wrapper holds the lock only across the synchronous confirm_insecure_tls_with call — no await is crossed while the lock is held. The lock is dropped when confirm_insecure_tls returns.
Pre-Push Hook rg exit-127 in this environment bypassed dispatch-gate	Skill 10.1 documented exception applied with explicit git diff upstream/master...HEAD -- '*.rs' regex check returning 0 matches against all 9 protected method names. Documented in commit message body and PR "Validation Evidence" section. CI will re-run the gate from a clean environment on push.

Reviewed at head ff4cece. Test-only coverage for the insecure-TLS confirmation flow (#7693) plus a behavior-preserving test seam. I checked the assertions and the structural guard against the live run() match. No prior reviews, no other blocks.

🟢 What looks good — the seam refactor is behavior-preserving

Extracting confirm_insecure_tls_with<R: BufRead, W: Write> and leaving confirm_insecure_tls as a thin stdin/stderr wrapper keeps production behavior byte-identical (same match arms, same lowercasing) while making the prompt logic unit-testable without touching real fds. That is the right way to add coverage to an interactive prompt.

🟢 What looks good — the input mapping tests pin the safe-default contract

The y/yes to Once, a/always to Always, and empty/n/junk/uppercase-N/NO to Abort tests match the production match exactly, and the case-folding test defends against an accidental case-sensitive refactor. Pinning that only the affirmative set opts into verification-disabled transport is the security-relevant invariant for #7693 acceptance criterion 1. The prompt-content test pins URL, the [y/a/N] menu, and the WARNING banner so a refactor cannot silently truncate the warning.

🟢 What looks good — the abort-no-persist guard is sound for the current source

abort_arm_of_confirm_match_must_not_call_persist checks the right invariant (a declined insecure-TLS route must not persist). I traced the brace scanner against the live run() block: the three arms are brace-balanced with no braces inside the string literals, so the depth scan isolates the match block correctly, and the Abort arm body (anyhow::bail!) does not contain the persist call. The config:: prefix on the production call is harmless here because the test only asserts absence in the Abort arm via substring. The author documents the structural fragility honestly and justifies it over spinning up the full CLI/daemon/config stack, which is a reasonable tradeoff for a security guard.

Verdict: APPROVED.
