Summary

t3 pair buffered and Schema-decoded any HTTP body served from the well-known path just to classify non-T3 occupants, and left stale-mapping (502/503/504) bodies undrained.

What changed

  • Drain 502/503/504 bodies for connection reuse; gate descriptor decode on a JSON content-type; cap decode input at 64KB (MAX_PROBE_BODY_BYTES) before Schema decode. Note: a T3 server that strips its JSON content-type would now classify as not-a-T3 (fail-safe: mapping untouched, direct pairing still works).

Validation

  • vp test run apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts — 14/14 pass, including a new test serving a 128KB JSON body that must not pair.
  • Package typecheck clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved server pairing checks for unavailable or invalid servers.
    • Non-JSON responses and environment descriptors exceeding the 64 KiB limit are now rejected safely.
    • Oversized descriptors now produce the standard “No running T3 Code server found.” error instead of pairing.
    • Content-type checks now handle capitalization and parameters consistently.
    • Discovery requests that continuously stream data now time out instead of hanging indefinitely.
    • Temporary server availability errors are handled more reliably during discovery.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production-path fix changes how t3 pair handles untrusted HTTP responses by adding byte/time limits, media-type and status gating, and connection draining. The focused implementation and regression tests are strong, but the security and availability implications of network-input handling warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pairing probe now bounds response reads before decoding, applies a body timeout, validates JSON media types, and drains selected error responses. CLI tests cover oversized, multibyte, uppercase content-type, and slow-body responses.

Changes

Pairing probe response hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded probe response handling
apps/server/src/cli/pair.ts
The probe limits response bodies to 64 KiB, applies a 2.5-second read timeout, drains selected error responses, validates JSON media types, and reuses a compiled descriptor decoder.
Discovery edge-case coverage
apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts
The tests cover oversized and multibyte bodies, uppercase content types, and a never-ending slow response.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 73ec9

The pairing probe now terminates slow and oversized responses without changing the established pairing result handling. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Release unread HTTP responses on early exits.

HttpClient.execute wraps non-scoped responses from effect/unstable/http in InterruptibleResponse. Accessing response.stream aborts the request when the stream completes, fails, or is interrupted. Therefore, the bounded 502/503/504 drain releases the response when the 64 KiB or 2.5-second limit stops the stream.

The rejected content-type branch returns without accessing response.stream. A JSON response that fails HttpClientResponse.filterStatusOk also skips readBoundedProbeBody. These responses rely on garbage-collection cleanup or its delayed fallback, so they can retain a connection and reduce pool availability.

Use the existing bounded reader before each early return. Read the JSON body before applying filterStatusOk, or run the same bounded cleanup when status filtering fails. This provides one deterministic cleanup path without changing the probe result.
