ducoterra e29d68d9f0 phase: 82_security_headers
All completion criteria verified green — no defects found, nothing to fix. Final report:

**Phase 82 (security headers) — final verification pass: all green**

- Verified prior-run implementation: `app/core/security_headers.py` (pure-ASGI, header-only, exact A1 CSP), registration in `app/main.py` after `configure_caching` (outermost), unit/integration/E2E suites.
- Deviation confirmed sound: `data:`-URI favicon (blocked by locked CSP) → static `frontend/assets/favicon.svg` in 5 templates + Containerfile `cp`; SVG element byte-identical to the old data-URI (verified programmatically); serves 200 with all three headers.
- Curl check (server booted like e2e conftest, log: `/tmp/curl_security_headers_final.log`): `/`, `/api/health`, `/assets/styles.css`, `/nope` (404) → all three headers, CSP exactly `default-src 'self'; base-uri 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'`.
- `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_security_headers.py tests/integration/test_security_headers.py -v --no-cov` → 13 passed (incl. SSE byte-identity pin).
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_security_headers.py -v --no-cov` (isolated) → 2 passed (headers + zero CSP violations + painted page).
- SSE tripwire `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_chat_rag.py -v --no-cov` → 3 passed.
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 1665 passed, app/ 99% (>90%); `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean (0 errors).
- `git diff --stat` limited to phase-82 files + the two documented deviations (favicon set, `tests/unit/__init__.py`); no `pyproject.toml`/`uv.lock`/JS diffs.
- Commit + phase-dir move left to the harness per pipeline rules (not executed by me).

Next pending phase: `83_chat_save_payload_limits`.

Task 01 — The pure-ASGI header middleware + unit suite

Phase: 82_security_headers · Story: n/a (security hardening — audit SEC-04)

Objective

app/core/security_headers.py exists exactly per the phase design block, and tests/unit/test_security_headers.py pins the header values, the 404 path, the SSE streaming passthrough (byte-identical body + headers present), and the non-http scope passthrough.

Work

  1. app/core/security_headers.py (new) — implement per the phase overview's design block: the CSP constant (the exact A1 string), SecurityHeadersMiddleware as a pure-ASGI class wrapping send (headers written on http.response.start via starlette.datastructures.MutableHeaders(scope=message)), the scope["type"] != "http" fast path, and the module docstring content listed in the design block (audit basis, the No-CDN verification, the pure-ASGI/SSE rationale).
  2. tests/unit/test_security_headers.py (new):
    • a tiny ASGI test_app (a plain 200 Response-like dict sequence, or starlette's Response wrapped in an ASGI callable) + the middleware: assert all three headers with exact values;
    • a 404-shaped response (status 404) → same three headers;
    • a streaming response (an async generator yielding data: a\n\n then data: b\n\n, media_type="text/event-stream") → consume the full body via the ASGI receive/send protocol (drive it with a small async client loop, or httpx.AsyncClient(transport=ASGITransport(...)) if already used in the unit suite) → body is exactly the two frames in order AND the three headers are present (the SSE pin);
    • a websocket scope → the app is called, no crash, no header injection attempt.

Testing & Quality

  • uv run pytest tests/unit/test_security_headers.py -v green.
  • Coverage: >90% on app/core/security_headers.py (every branch: http start, http other messages, non-http scope).

Completion Criteria

  • uv run pytest tests/unit/test_security_headers.py -v — all tests green, including the SSE byte-identity pin.
  • uv run ruff check app/core/security_headers.py tests/unit/test_security_headers.py && uv run pyright clean.
  • git diff --stat for this task: exactly the two new files.
