Summary

  • Replace the self-satisfying source-text media-handler test with a crate-local guard-installed builder witness and behavioral callback test.
  • Add a real Linux WebKitGTK camera/microphone oracle that binds registration, manifest, principal, guard decision, deny API, process/main-thread identity, and absence of extra top-level prompts.
  • Preserve the gate in the existing routed Linux GUI job through one tracked, exact-command smoke script and false-green-resistant hygiene checks.

Spec refs

  • docs/architecture/03-security.md §1
  • docs/architecture/05-webview-and-native.md §1
  • docs/specs/kel135-persistent-profile-identity.md §3 for the explicitly deferred saved-preference lifecycle
  • Linear KEL-132

Review gates

  • permission model: three independent adversarial reviews covered identity, manifest capture, callback installation/order, lifecycle scope, process/thread provenance, and negative controls; final CodeRabbit review is clean.

Tests

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo nextest run --workspace --profile ci: 576 passed, 2 intentional skips
  • RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo doc --workspace --no-deps
  • cargo deny check: advisories, bans, licenses, and sources pass
  • Windows GNU cross-check with RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings
  • Linux real WebKitGTK probe: camera/microphone deny plus force-allow controls, external-prompt rejection, missing-policy rejection/reap
  • C interposer: Wall, Wextra, Werror, Wpedantic
  • just hygiene: 79 passed
  • just agent-context: 14 passed; just atomic-protocol: 19 passed; just llms-test: 8 passed; just llms-check
  • checksum-pinned gitleaks 8.30.1: no leaks across 438 commits
  • just ci reaches KELD-DOCS006 only because local Docker is unavailable; no Mermaid changed and GitHub owns the pinned renderer execution.

Platforms

  • Linux: real WebKitGTK 2.52.6 desktop camera/microphone mock-device requests passed with callback/API/main-thread provenance and complete EWMH no-prompt census. GitHub Ubuntu runs the same oracle under Xvfb/Fluxbox, then the existing release-host title/resize/minimize/restore/close/reap checks.
  • Windows: warnings-denied cross-compile passes; direct COM media behavior is unchanged.
  • macOS: shared wry builder ordering remains compile-checked in CI. Real camera/microphone acceptance, the pre-macOS-12 debug-host boundary, and oldest-supported-OS proof remain open on KEL-132.
  • Saved browser permission preferences can bypass wry new-request callbacks; approved KEL-135 owns ephemeral/persistent profile restart-revocation proof. This PR does not claim that boundary complete.

Perf impact

none; probe/debug-only tracing and CI evidence do not alter release hot paths.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Strengthened camera and microphone permission handling across supported webview platforms.
    • Linux media requests are explicitly evaluated and denied when no approved permission is available.
    • Added safeguards to ensure requests are tied to the correct application and webview identity.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved consistency of media-permission behavior between Linux and macOS webview backends.
    • Added validation for secure-context media requests and prevention of unauthorized prompt or window behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified platform-specific permission behavior, limitations, and permission persistence considerations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds guarded wry media-permission construction, a Linux WebKitGTK probe and interposer, integration scripts, CI workflow enforcement, backend wiring, and documentation for platform-specific permission behavior and provenance boundaries.

Changes

Media permission guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded wry builder
crates/keld-wv/src/media.rs, crates/keld-wv/AGENTS.md
The media adapter installs callbacks through a guarded builder witness, mints webview principals, traces Linux policy decisions, and tests the exact installed callback.
Linux media probe and interposer
crates/keld-wv/examples/linux_media_guard.rs, crates/keld-wv/tests/fixtures/linux_media_interpose.c
The probe serves a nonce-scoped localhost page and validates media results. The interposer traces WebKitGTK setup, registration, callbacks, and allow or deny actions.
Backend guarded construction
crates/keld-wv/src/webkitgtk/mod.rs, crates/keld-wv/src/wkwebview/mod.rs
Both live wry backends use the shared guarded builder and platform-specific initial-build methods.
Integration oracles and CI enforcement
crates/keld-wv/tests/linux_media_guard.sh, crates/keld-wv/tests/linux_gui_smoke.sh, .github/workflows/ci.yml, tools/ci_hygiene.rs
The scripts validate media policy, provenance, window behavior, and process cleanup. CI builds and runs the probes, and hygiene checks enforce the required commands.
Permission contract documentation
docs/architecture/*, docs/onboarding/*, docs/engineering/decisions.md, llms-full.txt
Documentation records platform defaults, callback provenance, principal evaluation, saved-preference behavior, and older macOS limitations.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8449a

The Linux and macOS webview construction can fail to build, so this PR should not merge until the builder lifetime is corrected. The Linux oracle and permission documentation also need the identified fixes.

197-197: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The hard-coded manifest hash couples this oracle to Rust Debug output.

manifest_fnv1a64=e117311975d9f419 must match the value that trace_linux_policy_decision computes in crates/keld-wv/src/media.rs. That function folds FNV-1a over format!("{manifest:?}"), so the hash depends on the Debug representation of PermissionsManifest.

Any field addition, field reorder, rename, or derive change to PermissionsManifest changes the hash. CI then fails at line 242 with expected one keld-guard policy receipt, which does not name the real cause. A maintainer must diff the trace by hand to discover that only the manifest fingerprint moved.

Two options keep the identity check without the opaque failure:

  • Match manifest_fnv1a64=[0-9a-f]{16} in policy_pattern, then compare the captured value across the four runs. This still proves one stable manifest identity per invocation without pinning a literal.
  • Keep the literal, but add a separate grep that reports the observed fingerprint when the full pattern fails, so the error names the mismatch.
♻️ Proposed change for the first option
-  local policy_pattern="^policy nonce=${nonce} capability=${capability} principal=webview:${media_id}:0 manifest_fnv1a64=e117311975d9f419 decision=KELD-GUARD006 response=deny pid=${setup_pid}$"
+  local policy_pattern="^policy nonce=${nonce} capability=${capability} principal=webview:${media_id}:0 manifest_fnv1a64=[0-9a-f]{16} decision=KELD-GUARD006 response=deny pid=${setup_pid}$"

Then capture the fingerprint from the matched line and compare it against the value recorded by the first run, so a mid-suite manifest change still fails.

79-92: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Throttle the handshake polling loops. The nonblocking Rust listener and release-file loops, plus the shell readiness and prompt loops, repeatedly poll while WebKitGTK runs. Add bounded delays, such as 5 ms in Rust and 50 ms in shell, to reduce CPU waste during these waits.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/keld-wv/src/media.rs`:
- Line 292: Update the builder factory’s return type to be generic over lifetime
'a, returning GuardedWryBuilder<wry::WebViewBuilder<'a>> instead of using
'static. Propagate the same 'a lifetime through the factory signature and
construction so WebViewBuilder::build and build_gtk can accept locally scoped
window references on Linux and macOS.

In `@docs/architecture/03-security.md`:
- Around line 148-150: Update the Windows web media origin statement in the
architecture security documentation to say that Keld ignores the Windows
callback origin and evaluates WEB_MEDIA_ORIGIN, which is "*". Restrict the
“callbacks expose no origin” wording to the wry callbacks only.

In `@docs/onboarding/03-api-and-cli-surface.md`:
- Around line 489-490: Update the documentation around KELD-GUARD007 to state
that the Windows PermissionRequested adapter reads only PermissionKind and
discards Uri/origin information, so resource “*” remains the v0 contract.
Explain that this applies because the adapter evaluates permission kind without
origin filtering.

In `@llms-full.txt`:
- Around line 1798-1801: Qualify the “every live backend” media-permission claim
in the architecture documentation to account for pinned wry’s missing delegate
below macOS 12 on debug hosts, while retaining the guarded_default_media_builder
behavior for the live macOS backend. Then regenerate the llms-full.txt
documentation artifact from the updated source.

Exact-tip merge audit at 306b53d2b9837de10bded439d7932407992227e1:

  • The builder-lifetime thread is not reproduced: this exact tip compiled and tested on both Linux and macOS in run 33875816576. The returned WebViewBuilder<'static> is covariantly shortened at the consuming build_initial_* call, so it does not require a 'static window.
  • The two Windows-origin documentation threads remain valid and block merge under the code/spec parity rule. docs/architecture/03-security.md still says all callbacks expose no origin, and docs/onboarding/03-api-and-cli-surface.md still says no platform callback passes one. WebView2 exposes Uri; Keld's adapter deliberately reads only PermissionKind and evaluates WEB_MEDIA_ORIGIN ("*"). Please correct the two source docs, regenerate llms-full.txt, run the docs gates, and resolve the threads.
  • I am not requesting the polling-delay nitpick: sleep-synchronization conflicts with repository invariants. The literal manifest fingerprint is an intentional exact-manifest provenance assertion, so changing it to “any hash” would weaken this oracle.

All hosted CI jobs are green; these two source-of-truth statements are the remaining merge blocker.
