feat: add private files with SAS-style signed URLs - #4
kaesetoast wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Private uploads require signed se/sig query params to read. Adds POST /sign, metadata storage, UI updates, tests, and docs/private-files.md for app integration. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds private-file uploads and sidecar metadata. Generates and verifies HMAC-signed URLs for downloads and image transforms. Adds protected retrieval and signing endpoints, updates file views, and documents configuration and HTTP usage. ChangesPrivate file access
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds signed access for private files, but the current implementation can expose private files or let callers alter metadata that controls privacy classification, including through path-handling edge cases and failed metadata writes. These are high-impact security and data-integrity risks, so the PR is not ready to merge until they are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Require authorization before minting private-file URLs.
src/routes/file.$.tsx has no authorization guard. Its loader only checks requireWebUiEnabled before calling getFileDetailView. For private files, getFileDetailView returns signed URLs that /files/$ accepts for file access. If the web UI is publicly reachable, an unauthenticated request can obtain private content. Require read or admin authorization before calling getFileDetailView.

TanStack Router new-process-route-tree.ts wildcard _splat decodeURIComponent params
💡 Result:
In TanStack Router, splat routes (catch-all routes) are defined using the $ character in the route path (e.g., routes/files/$.tsx) [1][2]. The matched portion of the URL is exposed as the _splat property within the params object [1][3]. Regarding the decoding of _splat parameters in new-process-route-tree.ts: 1. Mechanism: Historically, splat parameters were decoded using a global decodeURIComponent. However, this could incorrectly decode URL-encoded slashes (%2F) that were intended to remain part of a single path segment [4]. 2. Recent Improvements: Recent updates to the router core have introduced segment-wise decoding for splat parameters [4]. By splitting the splat value by / and decoding segments individually, the router ensures that encoded slashes (%2F) remain preserved as escaped characters within their respective segments, while other characters (such as %20 or %3D) are correctly decoded [4]. 3. Optimization: Performance optimizations in the router's tree processing include a "fast path" for parameter decoding [5]. This allows the router to skip decodeURIComponent entirely if the matched value contains no % characters, improving efficiency for simple path strings [5]. These changes ensure that _splat parameters are handled reliably, preserving structural path information when necessary while still decoding standard URL-encoded characters [4]. Always use the _splat key to access these values, as the legacy * key is deprecated [1][2].

Remove the route-level decodeURIComponent call.
TanStack Router decodes the /file/$ wildcard before assigning params._splat. Line 17 decodes it again before getFileDetailView, so 100%20complete.txt becomes 100 complete.txt. Malformed percent sequences can also throw before the try block. Pass params._splat || '' directly and add a regression test.

Reject client paths inside .cabby.
uploadFile permits .cabby/metadata/<target>.json because the path only needs to remain below the storage root. A caller can upload {"private":false} to that path and overwrite the sidecar for <target>. isPrivateFile then classifies the target as public and private-file access validation does not run.
Reserve .cabby before creating directories or writing files. Apply the same restriction to other externally addressed file operations.
