fix(mcp,editor): close URL-validation bypasses surfaced by Phase 8 P4
Phase 8 parallel validation flagged two boundaries where malicious URLs
(javascript:, file:, external http:, data:text/html, ...) could be
persisted despite the AssetUrl allowlist added in Phase 7 A7:
1. `save_scene({ includeCurrentScene: false, graph })` — the graph arg
was treated as opaque (`z.record(z.string(), z.unknown())`) and
written to the store without re-running AnyNode.safeParse.
2. `POST /api/scenes { graph }` in the editor API — same issue; the
Zod `graphSchema` accepted anything object-shaped.
Fixes:
- `save-scene.ts`: when `includeCurrentScene === false`, iterate every
node and run `AnyNode.safeParse`; collect issues and throw
`McpError(InvalidParams, 'graph_invalid', { errors })` on any
failure.
- `app/api/scenes/route.ts`: replace `graphSchema` with a structured
`z.object({ nodes, rootNodeIds, collections? })` + `superRefine`
that runs `AnyNode.safeParse` on every node. Invalid → 400 with
detailed issue paths.
Tests:
- Added `save_scene` regression test for the P4 attack
(item.asset.src = 'javascript:alert(1)') — expected error.
- Fixed the existing `includeCurrentScene=false` test to use a
schema-compliant site node id (the prior `id: 'root'` now fails
the AnyNode parse, which is the desired strict behaviour).
- Full suite: 294 pass / 0 fail.
Also adds Phase 8 test-reports/phase8/** (10 agents, ~15 scripts +
markdown reports) documenting the validation run, plus minor biome
cleanups to the Phase 5/7 test artefacts (removed stale
`// biome-ignore` suppression comments that now resolve to the
already-off `noConsole` rule).
Phase 8 result summary (10 parallel agents, stdio MCP transport with
isolated data dirs):
- P1 templates: 18/18 PASS
- P2 variants: 6/7 mutations + determinism + save + combined + error
- P3 locking: 12/12 PASS (MCP + editor HTTP If-Match)
- P4 URL hardening: fixed 2 bypasses (see above)
- P5 photo-to-scene: 6/6 PASS
- P6 Casa del Sol via save_scene: 13/13 PASS
- P7 editor HTTP API: 18/18 PASS
- P8 concurrency: 4/5 PASS, flagged 2 real filesystem-store races
(expectedVersion CAS gap + .index.json drift under parallel writes)
- P9 edge cases: 13/13 PASS (size cap, slug safety, bad inputs)
- P10 full sweep: 37/37 PASS (30 tools + 4 resources + 3 prompts)
Known follow-ups:
- FilesystemSceneStore needs a proper lockfile / atomic CAS to fix
the P8 concurrency bugs (low priority: single-writer MCP is the
typical case).

|
||||
|

|

|
||||
## Flakiness note
|
||||
|
||||
Scenarios 1 and 5 are both symptoms of the same index-drift bug. Which one surfaces (or both, or neither) depends on timing — on repeated runs I observed: run A had `3/5 pass` with scenarios 2 and 5 failing; run B had `3/5 pass` with scenarios 1 and 2 failing. Scenario 2 is deterministic and always fails. Scenario 3 is deterministic and always passes. Scenario 4 (file bytes) is deterministic and always passes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Findings / bugs
|
||||
|
||||
### BUG 1 — `expectedVersion` check is racy (scenario 2)
|
||||
|
||||
Five parallel `save_scene({ id: "race", expectedVersion: 1 })` calls ALL returned `ok:true`. Only one of them actually produced a durable bump (final on-disk version is 2, not 6), so we do not see corruption — but the server silently accepts writes that should be rejected with `version_conflict`.
|
||||
|
||||
Root cause is in `FilesystemSceneStore.save()`: the check reads `existing.meta.version` at the top of the function and writes much later. Because `fs.readFile` and `fs.writeFile` each `await`, interleaved invocations all observe the same pre-race version, all pass the check, all claim `version = existing+1`, and the last `fs.rename` wins. There is no mutex / lock-file / compare-and-swap at the filesystem level. Expected behavior: exactly 1 success + 4 `version_conflict` errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### BUG 2 — `.index.json` sidecar drifts under load (scenario 5)
|
||||
|
||||
After 20 concurrent distinct saves (all files present on disk), `.index.json` was missing 3 of the scenes that DID make it to disk. `list_scenes` calls `readIndex()` first and only falls back to `collectAllMeta()` if the index file is absent — so those 3 scenes would also be hidden from `list_scenes` callers. The filter inside `readIndex` (drop entries whose file vanished) cannot paper this over because the problem is the opposite direction: files exist, index entry is missing.
|
||||
|
||||
Root cause: `save()` calls `writeIndex(await collectAllMeta())` at the end. When two `save()` calls race, call A may snapshot the directory while call B has not yet renamed its file into place; call A then writes an index that omits B. Call B then writes its own index that DOES include both — but if A's write happens to lose the final `rename` race (or B's write lands first and A's lands second) the loser's index is the one that sticks. This is exactly `index=28, disk=31` in the run above. `delete_scene` and `rename_scene` repeat the same pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
### Non-bugs observed
|
||||
|
||||
- Parallel saves of distinct ids (scenarios 1 + 4): all 10 / 20 files land on disk, no corruption, no stray `.tmp` files (atomic-rename does its job). The problem is not the file bytes — it is the `.index.json` denormalisation.
|
||||
- Parallel `delete_scene` + `rename_scene` of the same id (scenario 3): delete wins, rename loses cleanly with a structured `version_conflict` error (rename uses `expectedVersion = current`, and delete removed the record, so the compare yields `0 !== 1`). No process crash, no half-state.
|
||||
|
||||
## Observations on the implementation
|
||||
|
||||
- `FilesystemSceneStore.save` serializes through a tmp+rename atomic write, then rewrites `.index.json` from a fresh directory listing. That is correct for single-writer, wrong for multi-writer.
|
||||
- Optimistic concurrency relies on re-reading the existing record inside `save()` without any lock, so the check-then-write window is always a race.
|
||||
- Suggested fix surface: serialize mutating operations per-id via an in-process queue (`Promise` chain keyed by id), or move the expectedVersion check to the final rename (`fs.rename` with a sentinel). The supabase backend is not affected because Postgres does the compare-and-swap server-side.
