📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Go hooks send Web Push notifications directly for expenses and settlements, including expenses materialized from recurring templates. The JavaScript notification hooks and notifications collection are removed.

Changes

Direct Web Push Notifications

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expense and settlement push delivery webpush.go, main.go	Expense and settlement hooks capture the actor and send notifications after successful record creation. Recipient subscriptions are loaded before push delivery.
Recurring expense notification path webpush.go, pb_hooks/recurring.js, pb_hooks/recurringExpenses.pb.js	The Go expense hook sends notifications to all group members for recurring expenses. Recurring-expense materialization no longer creates notification records.
Notifications collection removal pb_hooks/notifications.pb.js, pb_migrations/1790974011_deleted_notifications.js, src/types/pocketbase-types.gen.ts	The migration deletes the notifications collection and defines its rollback. The legacy notification hooks and generated collection types are removed.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ec4b4

No actionable merge-blocking issue was established for the direct Web Push change; it is ready for normal merge checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ec4b4

The inspected paths preserve existing recipients, email fallbacks, and outbound network restrictions. No introduced security vulnerability was established. The privacy policy for email-bearing notifications and coverage of privileged internal writers remain unresolved.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — For inspected API writes, expense details fan out to the selected group's members and settlement details to the settlement participants, excluding the creating actor. Each selected recipient can have multiple subscribed devices. The lifecycle hooks also execute for internal record creation, so they rely on trusted producers to preserve domain authorization.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A user without a display name can have their email included in a push sent to another member or settlement participant. That behavior predates this PR. Whether participation explicitly authorizes sharing an otherwise hidden email remains unresolved; the supplied candidate is deferred, not a verified vulnerability introduced by the migration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — API creation rules constrain expense creators and settlement participants to the group. Subscription creation requires the authenticated user's ID, and delivery queries subscriptions by recipient ID. The reused sender rejects non-HTTPS endpoints and blocks loopback, private, unspecified, link-local, multicast, and CGNAT destination addresses at connection time. These controls apply to the new event callers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Recurring expenses, splits, and schedule advancement remain transactional. PocketBase defers successful-create callbacks until transaction completion and selects the error callback on rollback, preventing the new hooks from sending for rolled-back recurring records. Provider responses of 404 or 410 still trigger subscription deletion; failed cleanup is logged.
• inferred — Interruption can lose in-flight pushes, and repeated successful creates can send repeated messages; neither inspected transport provides durable retry or deduplication. The separate expense and split requests and the lack of an explicit recurring-occurrence claim predate this migration. Their failure and concurrency implications are not established as newly worsened security conditions.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define whether notification display identities may include hidden email addresses. If email visibility is intended to govern push content, use a visibility-aware or non-email fallback. This would harden an existing behavior rather than correct a demonstrated regression.

- Line 166: Move expense and settlement push dispatch from the
OnRecordCreateRequest hooks to a post-commit hook so rolled-back batch records
do not trigger pushes. Capture the actor ID and display name while e.Auth is
available, then use those captured values in the post-commit handler; keep the
recurring-expense filter separate to prevent duplicate notifications.
- Around line 249-253: Update the OnRecordCreateRequest handler for expenses to
call e.Next() without sending a push when the recurring relation is nonempty.
Keep API-handler notifications for regular expenses and let the
OnRecordAfterCreateSuccess handler handle recurring expenses.
