sidebar-routes.ts

/**
 * /api/github/star and /api/update/badge — the two cheap polls behind the
 * sidebar's GitHub star and update controls.
 *
 * Both ride the standard management gate (auth + origin check happen before
 * dispatch), and both are scalar-only: a star state enum, a repo slug, version
 * strings, and a fixed error code. No GitHub token, account login, or raw `gh`/npm
 * output is ever serialized here — starring runs through the user's own `gh` CLI and
 * this surface only learns the yes/no answer. `gh` writes the authenticated account
 * name to stderr, so that output is discarded at the source rather than forwarded.
 *
 * The star POST additionally requires a dashboard session. Management auth proves
 * the caller reached the admin token, not that a person chose to star: a coding
 * agent runs on the user's machine and can read that token from disk, so the CLI's
 * "ask the user" deferral would be bypassable with one `curl` here.
 *
 * The requirement is unconditional, and that is the point. It used to apply only
 * when `isAgentDriven()` was true — but that function reads the SERVER's
 * environment, not the caller's, so a proxy already running as a service (no agent
 * markers, the normal remote setup) accepted a raw-token star from anyone who could
 * read the token, which includes every agent on the machine. The provenance of the
 * HTTP caller is not knowable from the server's env; only the credential is. So the
 * mutation asks for a GUI session this process minted for a browser, which the auth
 * gate accepts only after matching origin and the per-session CSRF token.

/**
 * True only when a minted GUI session authorized this request.
 *
 * The previous version of this check looked for an `Origin` plus the CSRF headers
 * and reasoned that the auth gate had already validated them. It had not: the gate
 * accepts a raw admin token BEFORE it ever consults the session table, so a caller
 * holding that token (any process running as the user, a coding agent included)
 * could add three nonempty headers of its choosing and satisfy this check without
 * a browser ever being involved. The credential itself is the only part of the
 * request an agent cannot fabricate, so that is what this now reads.

// Known edge, deliberately fail-closed: a non-loopback operator dashboard that signs
// in with the raw admin token instead of a minted GUI session gets its click refused,
// and the response names the one-line `gh` command to run by hand. That is the
// correct trade — an endpoint reachable with a readable token cannot establish that
// a human chose to spend their own GitHub identity.
//
// The honest limit of this guard: a local process running AS THE USER can mint its
// own GUI session (the dashboard bootstrap is served to any loopback GET) and can
// equally just run `gh api -X PUT /user/starred/...` itself, which needs no proxy at
// all. No check inside this process can distinguish that caller from the browser,
// because both hold every local credential. So this endpoint is not a technical
// barrier against a determined local agent — it removes the CASUAL path (an agent
// that would have POSTed here because the endpoint existed) and makes the refusal
// legible. The actual boundary is normative and lives in AGENTS.md: an agent must
// not spend the user's identity, whichever mechanism is at hand.
