What does this PR do?

Fixes #2248.

In ha_auth mode, HA core binds a refresh token to the client_id the code leg presented. For DCR and cross-origin CIMD clients that client_id is a translation of the presented redirect's origin, and a redirect_uri-less refresh grant carries nothing to re-derive it: loopback callbacks embed an ephemeral port (RFC 8252 section 7.3) and multi-origin registrations are ambiguous. The component answered those refreshes with a local invalid_grant, while the code leg still handed the client core's refresh token, so every loopback-callback or multi-origin client (Kilo, Claude Code's CIMD, Cursor/VS Code style hybrids, Gemini Spark-class multi-origin web clients) re-authorized every 30 minutes, when core's access token expires. Reproduced live against a dev webhook proxy: DCR 201 with grant_types: ["authorization_code"], code exchange 200 with a refresh token, immediate refresh 400 invalid_grant.

The fix records the identity instead of guessing it. Every server-side-forwarded 200 token response now has its refresh_token replaced by an HMAC-signed envelope (hamcp-rt-..., signed under the existing DCR key, MAC covering the prefix so it can never verify as a DCR blob or vice versa) carrying core's real refresh token, the client_id core bound it to, and a digest of the presenting client_id. The refresh leg unwraps that envelope and proxies the grant to core with the exact pair; a 307 passthrough can never hand core an envelope. Stateless, no new storage.

Consequences:

  • DCR in ha_auth mode advertises refresh_token for every valid registration (none mode stays authorization_code only).
  • A hybrid CIMD identity (redirects across two web origins, one same-origin with the client_id) that presents its same-origin redirect used to take the code-leg fast path untranslated and receive core's raw token; the code leg now pays the one CIMD fetch the fast path skipped and proxies an unreproducible identity so its token is wrapped too. Same-origin-only CIMD clients (claude.ai) still 307.
  • Envelope failures are distinguished: a token without the prefix (minted before this change) keeps the previous derivation path and, if unreproducible, gets a local invalid_grant that one re-authorize resolves; a token with the prefix that fails verification (rotated signing key, tampering, replay under another client_id) is logged and answered locally with an accurate invalid_grant rather than relayed into core's failed-login accounting.
  • Revocation: HA core answers 200 for a token it does not recognise, so an envelope posted to core would silently no-op. The token view's action=revoke branch unwraps the envelope (bearer-authorized, no presenter binding per RFC 7009), and a new scoped /revoke endpoint fronts core's /auth/revoke the same way: envelope -> unwrapped and forwarded server-side; plain token -> 307 into core. It is advertised as revocation_endpoint in the ha_auth authorization-server document only (RFC 8414 optional field; revocation_endpoint_auth_methods_supported: ["none"]), 404s in the other modes, which never mint an envelope, answers a transport failure with 503 + Retry-After per RFC 7009 section 2.2.1, and makes no outbound request for a token whose signature it cannot verify. SECURITY.md's description of the fronted endpoints is updated accordingly.
  • Transport failures and a half-initialised session on the core forward are logged and the 503 carries a description; a non-JSON 200 from core is logged; the bare assert on the anonymous refresh path is a guarded fallback.
  • AutoApproveTokenView._ha_auth_token split into identity-resolution and core-forward helpers (the forward is shared with the revoke view) to stay under the complexity ceiling.

The dev webhook-proxy mirror (homeassistant-addon-webhook-proxy-dev/mcp_proxy_dev/) carries the same change per its MIRROR contract, with the required dev version bump (3.0.2.dev1 -> 3.0.2.dev2) and the DOCS.md updates (old refresh rule, one-time re-authorize note for pre-existing sessions, the revoke endpoint). The proxy's ha_auth token view also gains the component's str()-coerced form handling that had drifted. The stable proxy tree is untouched (dev-first, promote-only).

…e in ha_auth mode

Core binds a refresh token to the client_id the code leg presented; for
translated DCR/CIMD identities a redirect_uri-less refresh grant carried
nothing to re-derive it (ephemeral loopback ports, multi-origin
registrations), so the token view answered a local invalid_grant while
the code leg still handed out core's refresh token. Every
loopback-callback client re-authorized on each 30-minute access-token
expiry (homeassistant-ai#2248).

Record the identity at mint time instead: wrap the refresh_token of
every server-side-forwarded 200 in an HMAC-signed envelope carrying
core's token, the bound client_id, and a digest of the presenter; the
refresh leg unwraps it and proxies the exact pair to core. DCR in
ha_auth mode now advertises refresh_token for every registration.
Pre-envelope tokens keep the previous derivation path and migrate on a
single re-authorize.

Mirrored into the dev webhook proxy with the required dev version bump.

Fixes homeassistant-ai#2248

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OAuth flow now uses signed refresh-token envelopes and a scoped RFC 7009 revocation endpoint. ha_auth registrations advertise refresh tokens for all valid registrations. Revocation supports verified and unverifiable envelopes, while refresh validation remains strict.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c2ab2

The change makes loopback and multi-origin clients refreshable by issuing signed refresh-token envelopes and routing revocation through the updated OAuth handlers. A rollback after these tokens are issued could disrupt refresh or leave grants active until the envelope-aware behavior is restored, so release owners should define rollback handling before deployment.

…rap hybrid CIMD code exchanges

Review round on homeassistant-ai#2249:

- Split unwrap_refresh_token's failure into ABSENT (no prefix: a
  pre-envelope token, falls through to the legacy derivation) and INVALID
  (our prefix, bad MAC / presenter / shape / version): INVALID is logged
  and answered with a local invalid_grant instead of 307'd into core's
  failed-login accounting, and the pre-envelope message no longer claims
  a cause it cannot know.
- Core's action=revoke on /auth/token answers 200 for unknown tokens, so
  a client revoking the envelope would silently no-op; unwrap it there
  (no presenter binding, RFC 7009 authorizes the bearer) and proxy.
- A hybrid CIMD identity presenting its same-origin redirect took the
  code-leg fast path untranslated, got core's raw token, and stayed in
  the re-auth loop; the code leg now pays the one CIMD fetch and proxies
  an unreproducible identity so its token is wrapped.
- Log transport failures and half-initialised config on the core token
  forward (with a 503 description), log non-JSON 200s, and replace the
  bare assert on the anonymous refresh path with a guarded fallback.
- Mirror the component's str()-coerced MultiDict form into the proxy's
  ha_auth token view (homeassistant-ai#2219 hardening had drifted).
- Tests: mirror-side MAC tamper/wrong-key/non-200/byte-identity cases,
  disjointness tests that exercise the MAC via prefix relabelling,
  refresh-leg re-wrap, payload-shape and keyless-ha_auth cases, revoke
  cases, looser error_description assertions, one duplicate removed.
- Docs/comments: stale MIRROR header, DOCS.md migration clause, trimmed
  repeated pre-envelope prose.

… tokens can be revoked

Core's /auth/revoke answers 200 for a token it does not recognise, so a
client revoking the signed envelope directly at core would get a silent
no-op and keep a live session. Add a scoped /revoke view in both trees:
an envelope is unwrapped (bearer-authorized, no presenter binding) and
forwarded server-side to core's /auth/revoke; a plain token 307s into
core so core observes the client's address; 503 carries Retry-After per
RFC 7009 section 2.2.1. Served and advertised (revocation_endpoint,
revocation_endpoint_auth_methods_supported: ["none"]) in ha_auth mode
only; none and legacy documents and behaviour are unchanged. The token
and revoke legs share one core-forward helper. SECURITY.md and the dev
proxy DOCS.md describe the fronted endpoint.

The envelope answers #2248 at the layer that can actually carry the identity: recording what core bound the grant to at mint time, instead of trying to re-derive an ephemeral loopback port or pick one of several registered origins later. Signing the prefix into the MAC so the two blob families cannot cross-verify is the part I would have gotten wrong, and test_refresh_envelope_and_dcr_blob_are_disjoint drives it in both directions, relabelled bodies included.

I verified the mode gating (cfg is rebuilt per setup and only _bind_ha_auth_surface sets resource_server, so the scoped /revoke really is ha_auth-only and a legacy cfg can never reach it, and only the ha_auth AS document advertises it), the ordering inside unwrap_refresh_token (MAC verified before json.loads, so no attacker-chosen nesting reaches the parser), and the mirror: the ten new envelope and revoke helpers are behaviourally identical modulo local names, import paths and docstrings. The two revoke views differ in their mode gate, the dev one additionally fronting _addon_alive — which reads deliberate to me, but say so if it is not.

One substantive question, plus a test gap and a nit.

[Concern 1]: EnvelopeState.INVALID is handled like ABSENT on both revocation surfaces. _revoke_rewrite proxies only when unwrap_refresh_token returns a tuple, so a token carrying the hamcp-rt- prefix that does not verify takes the same branch as a plain core token and is 307'd into core. Core's RevokeTokenView answers 200 for any token it cannot resolve — and the action=revoke leg delegates into that same view — so the client is told the revocation succeeded while core's grant stays live, which is the outcome the scoped endpoint exists to prevent. For forged input that is harmless, but the docstring's own taxonomy names a second member of that class: a rotated signing key. DATA_DCR_SIGNING_KEY is minted whenever an entry has none and is written nowhere else, so removing and re-adding the integration puts every previously issued envelope in exactly this state while core's own refresh tokens survive untouched — and the core token inside the envelope stays redeemable at core by anything holding it, since the body is base64 rather than encrypted.

I do not think the way out is obvious, and the option I first reached for is worse than it looks. Forwarding a best-effort-unwrapped t would close it, but it costs two things, not one: your PR body's "makes no outbound request for a token whose signature it cannot verify" property, and the json.loads-after-MAC ordering above — unwrap_refresh_token catches ValueError, binascii.Error and UnicodeEncodeError but not RecursionError, which is exactly what rewrite_token_response_body guards against one screen further up citing #2218, and a 500 on an anonymous view is a worse trade than the one being bought. Keeping the current behaviour is defensible on that basis alone; then the residual belongs in DOCS.md, because after a key change neither refresh nor revoke can reach the old grant and it has to be cleared from core's refresh-token list by hand.

[Concern 2]: whichever behaviour you keep is currently unpinned. The 15 revoke test functions across the two unit files cover envelope-forwarded, plain-token 307, keyless 307, 404 outside ha_auth, unloaded entry and transport error; the two that do feed a hamcp-rt- value into a revocation surface are both the keyless case, which exits before the INVALID branch. A prefixed-but-unverifiable token is pinned through a view only on the component's refresh path (test_ha_auth_refresh_tampered_envelope_is_answered_locally); the dev mirror pins INVALID at unwrap_refresh_token level only, and neither tree pins any revocation surface.

Minor: the scoped view sets Retry-After on its 503 citing RFC 7009 section 2.2.1, but the same transient reached through /token with action=revoke goes out without it.

…on revocation

Review by Patch76 on homeassistant-ai#2249: a token carrying the hamcp-rt- prefix whose
MAC does not verify took the same branch as a plain core token and was
307'd to core, whose revoke endpoint answers 200 for anything it cannot
resolve — so the client was told the session was revoked while core's
grant lived out its 90 days. The ordinary way in is a signing-key
rotation: removing and re-adding the integration mints a new key and
invalidates every outstanding envelope.

core_token_for_revocation() now parses the core token out of a prefixed
value's body even when the MAC fails, and only on the revocation legs.
Sound here and nowhere else: RFC 7009 authorizes the bearer of a token
rather than a client, and core's revoke endpoint is anonymous and
idempotent, so forwarding an unverified body grants a forger nothing
they could not get by POSTing to core directly. The refresh leg still
answers an INVALID envelope locally and never forwards it. The
unverified parse is length-capped before decoding and catches
RecursionError, which only it can meet.

Retry-After now rides every revocation 503, whether the request arrived
at the scoped /revoke view or as action=revoke on /token.

Tests pin both revocation surfaces in both trees: tampered and
rotated-key envelopes forwarded unwrapped, prefixed values carrying no
usable token 307'd, over-cap values not parsed, and the Retry-After
split between revocation and plain token failures. SECURITY.md and
DOCS.md narrow the no-outbound-request claim to the refresh path.

Thanks — all three land, and the mode-gate/ordering/mirror checks match what I have.

Concern 1. Taking your framing but going the other way on the trade: core_token_for_revocation() now recovers the core token from a prefixed value's body even when the MAC fails, on the revocation legs only. The reasoning is the one you set out — possession is the only authorization a revocation needs (RFC 7009 authorizes the bearer, not a client), and core's /auth/revoke is anonymous and idempotent and answers 200 to anything, so forwarding an unverified body grants a forger nothing they could not get by POSTing to core directly. What it buys is the key-rotation case you named, which is the ordinary one rather than the adversarial one.

On the two costs you flagged: the json.loads-after-MAC ordering is intact on the refresh path, which still answers INVALID locally and never forwards. The new parse is the one place that meets unverified nesting, so it catches RecursionError alongside the existing tuple (the #2218 guard you pointed at) and caps the blob at 4096 bytes before decoding — core's refresh tokens land far under that. The SECURITY.md claim was the other cost and it was simply false once this changed; it now says the endpoint makes no outbound request for a value that is not one of its own envelopes, that a prefixed one is forwarded even unverified and why, and that the refresh path is the strict one. Same in the dev DOCS.md and the view docstring.

Worth stating plainly since it is a real change: an anonymous caller can now cause one outbound POST to core's /auth/revoke per request by sending a parseable prefixed blob, where before an unverifiable one made no call. It grants no reach — the same caller can POST core's anonymous revoke endpoint directly at the same rate — but it is not nothing, and the docstring says so rather than claiming otherwise.

Concern 2. Both revocation surfaces are now pinned in both trees: tampered and rotated-key envelopes forwarded with core's own token (asserted on the outgoing data["token"], and that it proxies rather than 307s), prefixed values whose body yields no token 307'd unchanged (parametrized over no-separator / bad base64 / non-JSON / JSON array / non-str t), an over-cap value 307'd without being parsed, plus unit-level coverage of core_token_for_revocation itself.

Nit. Fixed. _forward_to_core derives whether the request is a revocation from the request itself, so the 503 carries Retry-After on both surfaces and neither call site has to remember; plain token 503s stay bare, since RFC 6749 gives them no such retry contract. Pinned both ways.

On the dev revoke view's extra _addon_alive gate — deliberate. Every scoped view in the proxy fronts it (authorize, token, DCR register); the component has no add-on process to check, which is the whole of that delta.

Re-reviewed at c2ab2c62. The trade goes the other way from what I proposed and I think that is the better call: core_token_for_revocation() recovers core's token from a prefixed value's body even when the MAC fails, so a key rotation stops silently breaking revocation, and the cost is stated in the docstring rather than papered over.

What I verified rather than took on the disposition comment:

  • The refresh leg's behaviour is unchanged. unwrap_refresh_token() still reaches json.loads only after hmac.compare_digest, and _envelope_identity() still answers an INVALID envelope with a local 400 and forwards nothing. The best-effort parse is confined to core_token_for_revocation(), which only the two revocation call sites reach.
  • The unverified body parse is bounded before it runs: the 4096-byte cap sits ahead of the _b64url_decode and json.loads of the body, and RecursionError joins the three exceptions the verified path already catches, which it needs because this parse runs on a body whose MAC did not verify, where unwrap_refresh_token() parses only after one that did.
  • Both trees carry the identical function, constant, and comment; the component and dev-proxy revoke paths do not diverge.
  • _forward_to_core() derives revocation from the path or action=revoke, so both spellings get Retry-After on the 503 and a plain refresh 503 stays bare. Both directions are pinned.
  • Tests cover both revocation surfaces in both trees: tampered and rotated-key envelopes forwarded with core's own token and asserted as a proxy rather than a 307, unusable bodies 307'd with no outbound call, an over-cap value 307'd unparsed, plus unit coverage of the helper itself.
  • The view docstring now scopes the no-outbound-request claim to values without the prefix, SECURITY.md scopes it to values that are not its own envelopes and names the forwarding of unverified prefixed ones, and the add-on DOCS.md describes the same behaviour. No stale copy of the old claim is left in the tree.

One thing left, cosmetic: payload.get("t") accepts an empty string, so {"v":1,"t":""} behind a failed MAC returns "", and _revoke_rewrite() proxies an empty token where the docstring's "a prefixed value whose body yields no token" says it 307s. or not unverified_token closes it; every other unusable body shape is already parametrized. In the same area, both new test_core_token_for_revocation_refuses_unusable_bodies docstrings say the parse "runs BEFORE any MAC check", where it runs after one that failed, which is what the implementation comment next to it says, and that distinction is the whole argument for splitting the legs.

All 16 required checks are green on c2ab2c62.
