+## 2026-06-02: Always Verify the Authoritative Repo Before Starting Work
+**Pattern:** I cloned from Gitea and did all work there, when GitHub is the master source for Linux Patch Manager. This created divergent histories and blocked PR creation.
+**Mistake:** Did not check which repo was authoritative before starting work. The git-workflow skill only documented Gitea operations. I assumed Gitea was the source of truth because it was the configured remote.
+**Impact:** All commits were made on a Gitea-based branch. When I tried to create a PR on GitHub, the branches had no common ancestor. The project was put in an unstable state.
+**Rule:** BEFORE starting any work on a project, ALWAYS check which repo is the authoritative source. If the issue is on GitHub, clone from GitHub. If the issue is on Gitea, clone from Gitea. NEVER assume based on configured remotes.

+## 2026-06-02: SSH_ASKPASS=/dev/null Blocks Git Commit Signing
+**Pattern:** The container environment sets `SSH_ASKPASS=/dev/null` and `SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force`, which overrides ssh-agent and prevents git from finding signing keys during commit signing.
+**Mistake:** Attempted git commit multiple times without checking why it hung. The signing key was in ssh-agent but SSH_ASKPASS was redirecting the passphrase prompt to /dev/null (not executable), causing the commit to fail with "incorrect passphrase".
+**Fix:** Unset `SSH_ASKPASS` and `SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE` before running git commit, then use `ssh-add` with the passphrase from Vaultwarden to add the signing key to ssh-agent.
+**Rule:** Before git commit signing, check `echo $SSH_ASKPASS` and `echo $SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE`. If SSH_ASKPASS is set to /dev/null or another non-executable, unset both variables before committing.

+## 2026-06-01: Handlers Should Take a Minimal State Struct, Not the Full AppState
+**Pattern:** The `ws_handler` in `crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs` is wired to `State<AppState>`, and `AppState` contains `sqlx::PgPool` (requires a real DB) and `pm_ca::CertAuthority` (private fields, requires on-disk key material + DB on `init()`). This made end-to-end integration tests in `tests/ws_origin.rs` infeasible without a Postgres + filesystem fixture.
+**Why it matters:** Test seams should be at the function/handler boundary, not require the full production state. The fix landed as 33 unit tests on the module-private helpers (`parse_origin_header`, `is_origin_allowed`, `check_origin`) — 100% coverage of the security-critical logic, zero coverage of the handler wiring. That tradeoff was acceptable here because the wiring is `HeaderMap` extraction + a function call (cargo check + clippy catches wiring bugs), but the principle stands: it's better to fix the test seam than to test around it.
+**Rule:** When designing a new handler, define a minimal state struct (e.g., `WsState { ws_tickets, config }`) and have `AppState` either contain it or convert to it. Handlers should only take what they need. This is a refactor on the table for follow-up work; the WS Origin fix did NOT do it (out of scope per the spec).

+
+## 2026-06-01: Always Order CSWSH Defenses So They Don't Burn Legitimate Credentials
+**Pattern:** The WS Origin allowlist check runs BEFORE the ticket validation. A cross-origin probe with a stolen ticket returns `403 forbidden_origin` without consuming the ticket. The opposite order (ticket first, then Origin) would let an attacker with a leaked ticket mount a low-cost DoS by repeatedly burning the legitimate user's 60-second tickets with `403` responses.
+**Rule:** When adding defense-in-depth gates to an authenticated endpoint, order them so that the cheaper / less-credentialed gate runs first. A rejected request at gate N must not consume credentials checked at gate N+1.

+
+# WS Origin Allowlist — Implementation Plan (Issue #10)
+
+Spec: `tasks/ws-origin-check-spec.md` (v0.1.0, awaiting sign-off)
+
+## Issues Identified
+1. **No Origin check on WS upgrade** — `crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs` `ws_handler` does
+   not inspect the `Origin` header, leaving the `/api/v1/ws/jobs` endpoint exposed to
+   Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) if a ticket ever leaks via logs / `Referer` /
+   browser history / support bundles.
+2. **No `allowed_origins` config field** — `SecurityConfig` has no way to express the
+   allowlist; defaults need to be derived from `sso_callback_url` to stay secure out
+   of the box.
+3. **No integration tests for ws.rs** — there is no `crates/pm-web/tests/` directory
+   today, so the new behavior would land without automated coverage.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Config schema (Issue 2)
+- [x] 1a: Add `allowed_origins: Vec<String>` to `SecurityConfig` in `crates/pm-core/src/config.rs`
+- [x] 1b: Implement `default_allowed_origins()` that parses `sso_callback_url` to `scheme://host[:port]`
+- [x] 1c: Emit `tracing::warn!` at startup if the derived allowlist ends up empty
+- [x] 1d: Update `Default for AppConfig` to include the new field
+- [x] 1e: Update `config/config.example.toml` with documented `allowed_origins` key
+
+### Phase 2: Handler change (Issue 1)
+- [x] 2a: Add `HeaderMap` extractor to `ws_handler`
+- [x] 2b: Implement hand-rolled `Origin` parser (scheme, host, port) with default-port normalization
+- [x] 2c: Implement allowlist match (exact, case-insensitive host, case-sensitive scheme/port)
+- [x] 2d: Reject missing / malformed / non-allowlisted `Origin` with `403 forbidden_origin` *before* ticket validation
+- [x] 2e: Augment the success `tracing::info!` with `origin`; add `tracing::warn!` on rejection (never log the ticket)
+- [x] 2f: Verify `cargo check -p pm-web` and `cargo clippy --all-targets` pass
+
+### Phase 3: Tests (Issue 3)
+- [x] 3a: Add `crates/pm-web/tests/` and a `build_test_app` harness (no DB, minimal `AppState`)
+- [x] 3b: Add `ws_rejects_missing_origin` test
+- [x] 3c: Add `ws_rejects_disallowed_origin` test
+- [x] 3d: Add `ws_rejects_malformed_origin` test
+- [x] 3e: Add `ws_allows_listed_origin_with_valid_ticket` test (asserts ticket is consumed)
+- [x] 3f: Add `ws_default_origin_derived_from_sso_callback_url` config-derivation test
+- [x] 3g: Verify `cargo test -p pm-web` passes
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation
+- [x] 4a: Update `docs/security-review.md` with a new control row for the WS Origin allowlist
+- [x] 4b: (Optional, per Kelly) bump `SPEC.md` to 0.0.3 with a sentence in the Security section
+
+### Phase 5: Review
+- [x] 5a: Self-review against the 10-point acceptance criteria in the spec
+- [x] 5b: Commit on a feature branch (`issue/10-ws-origin-check`) per git-workflow skill
+- [x] 5c: Lessons captured below
+
+## Lessons Learned (this issue)
+_(filled in at completion)_

 - **SSO callback must redirect, not return JSON** — Browser OAuth2 flows require the backend to redirect to the frontend SPA, not return JSON tokens. The frontend must parse tokens from URL query parameters.
 - **URLSearchParams.get() already decodes** — Don't double-decode with decodeURIComponent() when using URLSearchParams.
 - **JWKS caching prevents rate-limiting** — Azure AD JWKS endpoint should be cached with TTL (1 hour) to avoid fetching on every SSO login.

+Harden the browser-facing WebSocket upgrade endpoint (`GET /api/v1/ws/jobs`) against
+Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) by validating the `Origin` header against a
+configured allowlist. The existing single-use, 60-second ticket mechanism is retained
+as the first credential factor; the Origin check is the second factor.
+
+## 2. Non-Goals
+
+- Replacing or weakening the ticket mechanism.
+- Binding the ticket to a specific WebSocket connection at issuance time (separate,
+larger change).
+- Origin/CORS checks on the JWT-authenticated ticket-issuance endpoint
+(`POST /api/v1/ws/ticket`) — it is already protected by JWT + RBAC middleware and is
+not a browser-only entry point.
+- Changes to `pm-worker/ws_relay.rs` — that module is an outbound mTLS WS *client* to
+agents, not a server, and is not reachable from a browser.
+
+## 3. Design
+
+### 3.1 Handler change (`crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs`)
+
+The `ws_handler` function (lines 96–137) gains a new `HeaderMap` extractor and
+performs an Origin allowlist check **before** ticket validation.
+
+Order of operations in the new handler:
+
+1. Extract `HeaderMap` (new).
+2. Read `Origin` header. If absent → reject `403 forbidden_origin` (`"Origin header
+   required"`).
+3. Normalize and compare against the configured allowlist. If not matched → reject
+   `403 forbidden_origin` (`"Origin not allowed"`).
+4. Existing ticket validation (lines 101–127) runs unchanged.
+5. Existing upgrade (line 136) runs unchanged.
+
+Rationale for Origin-first ordering: a CSWSH probe from a malicious page will not
+have a valid ticket. If we validated the ticket first and then checked Origin, an
+attacker who has obtained a leaked ticket (from logs, `Referer`, history, support
+bundle) could mount a denial-of-service against the legitimate user by burning their
+tickets with `403` responses. Origin-first means rejected cross-origin attempts do
+not consume the user's ticket.
+
+### 3.2 Origin parsing and comparison
+
+- Read the raw `Origin` header value as a string.
+- Strip any trailing `/`.
+- Use a hand-rolled parser (no new dependency) to extract `scheme`, `host`, and
+  optional `port`:
+  - `scheme` must be `http` or `https` (lowercased).
+  - `host` must be non-empty and contain no whitespace.
+  - `port`, if present, must parse as `u16`.
+- Apply default-port normalization: `https` implies port `443`; `http` implies port
+  `80`. If the explicit port equals the default for the scheme, drop it from the
+  comparison. This matches browser behavior (browsers do not include default ports
+  in `Origin`).
+- Case-insensitive host comparison; case-sensitive scheme and port.
+- Match each configured allowlist entry against the parsed Origin. **Exact match
+  only** — no subdomain wildcards, no regex, no path.
+- If the `Origin` header is malformed (does not parse) → reject
+  `403 forbidden_origin` (`"Malformed Origin header"`).
+
+### 3.3 Config schema (`crates/pm-core/src/config.rs`)
+
+Add a new field to `SecurityConfig`:
+
+```rust
+/// Allowlist of browser `Origin` values permitted to open the
+/// `/api/v1/ws/jobs` WebSocket. Entries are exact `scheme://host[:port]`
+/// strings. If empty, the server derives the default from `sso_callback_url`.
+#[serde(default = "default_allowed_origins")]
+pub allowed_origins: Vec<String>,
+```
+
+Default value (`default_allowed_origins`): a single-element vector containing the
+`scheme://host[:port]` form of `sso_callback_url` parsed at config-load time. This
+keeps the default config secure out of the box — a fresh install will only accept
+WS upgrades from the same origin the SSO callback redirects to.
+
+If `sso_callback_url` cannot be parsed (e.g., a custom dev value), fall back to
+`vec![]` and emit a `tracing::warn!` at startup. An empty allowlist with no
+parseable default would make the WS endpoint reject all upgrades; this is the safe
+direction (fail-closed), but the warning makes it loud.
+
+Add a corresponding `ConfigError` if `allowed_origins` is manually set to an empty
+vector and `sso_callback_url` is also unparseable, since that combination produces a
+non-functional WS endpoint. The user must explicitly opt in to "no origins allowed"
+by providing a list.
+
+### 3.4 Logging
+
+- On allowed upgrade: existing `tracing::info!` continues (lines 129–133), augmented
+  with `origin = %origin_str` for audit context.
+- On rejected upgrade: new `tracing::warn!` with `origin = %origin_str` and
+  `reason = %reason`. **Never log the ticket value**.
+
+### 3.5 Response shape
+
+Reuse the existing `err` helper (lines 48–58):
+
+```json
+{ "error": { "code": "forbidden_origin", "message": "…" } }
+```
+
+Status: `403 Forbidden` for all Origin rejections. Do not differentiate between
+"missing", "malformed", and "not in allowlist" in the response — they all map to the
+same code, and the specific reason is logged server-side only.
+
+## 4. Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] A WS upgrade request with a missing `Origin` header is rejected with `403`
+      and code `forbidden_origin`. The ticket is **not** consumed.
+- [ ] A WS upgrade request with a malformed `Origin` header is rejected with `403`
+      and code `forbidden_origin`. The ticket is **not** consumed.
+- [ ] A WS upgrade request with an `Origin` not in the allowlist is rejected with
+      `403` and code `forbidden_origin`. The ticket is **not** consumed.
+- [ ] A WS upgrade request with an allowlisted `Origin` and a valid, unconsumed
+      ticket succeeds (101 Switching Protocols / upgrade accepted) and the ticket is
+      consumed atomically (existing behavior preserved).
+- [ ] A WS upgrade request with an allowlisted `Origin` and an invalid/expired/
+      already-used ticket is rejected with the existing `401 invalid_ticket` /
+      `401 ticket_expired` (existing behavior preserved).
+- [ ] The allowlist is configurable via `security.allowed_origins` in
+      `config/config.example.toml` and is documented in that file.
+- [ ] When `allowed_origins` is not set, the default is derived from
+      `sso_callback_url` and the service starts cleanly.
+- [ ] `cargo check` and `cargo clippy --all-targets` pass.
+- [ ] `cargo test -p pm-web` passes with the new integration tests added.
+- [ ] `docs/security-review.md` documents the new control with an evidence row
+      pointing to `crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs`.
+
+## 5. Test Plan
+
+Unit tests in `crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs` (cfg(test) module) — 33 tests
+covering the security-critical logic. The end-to-end wiring (HeaderMap
+extractor, axum handler, response shape) is verified by `cargo check`,
+`cargo clippy --all-targets`, and the manual `scripts/integration-test.sh`
+end-to-end check.
+
+**Why unit tests instead of `tests/ws_origin.rs` integration tests:** the
+handler is wired to `State<AppState>`, and `AppState` contains a
+`sqlx::PgPool` and a `pm_ca::CertAuthority` that cannot be cheaply
+constructed in a test (the CA requires a real Postgres connection and
+on-disk key material, both unavailable in `cargo test`). Refactoring
+`ws_handler` to take a smaller state struct is out of scope for this
+hardening change.
+
+### 5.1 pm-core unit tests (`crates/pm-core/src/config.rs`, 7 tests)
+
+`derive_allowed_origins` — the sso_callback_url → allowlist derivation:
+
+1. `derive_strips_default_https_port` — `https://x:443/...` → `https://x`
+2. `derive_keeps_non_default_port` — `https://x:8443/...` → `https://x:8443`
+3. `derive_strips_default_http_port` — `http://x:80/x` → `http://x`
+4. `derive_handles_trailing_slash` — `https://x/` → `https://x`
+5. `derive_handles_no_path` — `https://x` → `https://x`
+6. `derive_returns_empty_for_garbage` — rejects "not a url", "", "ftp://x"
+7. `derive_lowercases_scheme` — `HTTPS://...` → `https://...`
+
+### 5.2 pm-web unit tests (`crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs`, 33 tests)
+
+`parse_origin_header` (14 tests): basic, with-port, scheme/host lowercasing,
+path/query/fragment ignored, trailing-slash stripped, empty/whitespace
+rejected, unsupported schemes rejected, empty host rejected, host with
+whitespace rejected, malformed port rejected, IPv6 literal rejected, no
+scheme separator rejected.
+
+`Origin::canonical` (3 tests): default-port normalization in both directions
+(http:80, https:443), non-default port kept.
+
+`is_origin_allowed` (11 tests): exact match, default-port normalization in
+both directions, case-insensitive host, different host rejected, different
+scheme rejected, different port rejected, empty allowlist rejected,
+unparseable allowlist entry rejected, multi-entry allowlist.
+
+`check_origin` (7 tests): missing header, malformed header, disallowed
+origin, empty allowlist, allowed origin, default-port normalization allowed,
+case-insensitive host allowed. This function returns the `(StatusCode, Json)`
+error tuple used by the handler, so these tests cover the response shape.
+
+## 6. Risk Analysis
+
+- **Risk: a config that breaks the WS endpoint in production.** Mitigation: default
+  is derived from `sso_callback_url` (already required for SSO to function), and
+  startup logs a warning if the allowlist ends up empty.
+- **Risk: legitimate cross-origin frontend (e.g., SPA on `app.foo.com` talking to
+  API on `api.foo.com`).** Out of scope for this fix — the WS endpoint is on the
+  same origin as the SPA. If a future deployment splits them, the operator adds
+  the API origin to `allowed_origins`. Documented in `config/config.example.toml`.
+- **Risk: a non-browser caller (CLI, integration test) cannot connect.** Such
+  callers should use the REST API for state mutations; the WS is documented as the
+  browser job-stream channel. If a non-browser WS client is needed, document it in
+  `docs/REST_API.md` and tell the operator to add its origin.
+- **Risk: false sense of security.** The Origin check is defense-in-depth, not a
+  replacement for the ticket. Documented as such in the security review update.
+
+## 7. Files Touched
+
+- `crates/pm-web/src/routes/ws.rs` — handler change.
+- `crates/pm-core/src/config.rs` — new field + default.
+- `config/config.example.toml` — new field documented.
+- `crates/pm-web/tests/ws_origin.rs` — new integration tests (and harness).
+- `docs/security-review.md` — control documentation row.
+- `tasks/todo.md` — plan section (added by the orchestrator).
+
+## 8. Out of Scope (Future Work)
+
+- Bind ticket issuance to the WS upgrade in a single round-trip (eliminates
+  query-string ticket leakage from logs/history).
+- Per-message MAC on WS frames (defense against in-process tampering).
+- Rate limiting on the WS endpoint itself.
