The step piped Telegram's reply to /dev/null and then printed 'Approver
notified' unconditionally. A stale token, a wrong chat id, a rejected message —
all of them ended with a green step and an approver who never heard about the
deploy.
That is not hypothetical. On 2026-08-01 run 30710528288 sat in 'waiting' with
the log reading 'Approver notified; deployment waits on the production
environment', and no message had arrived. Nothing in the run said otherwise,
so the first signal was a person asking why the deploy had not moved.
The reply is now checked and a rejection fails the job. Exchange's equivalent
step already did this; pwap's did not, because I wrote it without copying the
pattern that was already there and working.
Signup had no bot protection. The account itself was never the prize — GoTrue
refuses a session until the address is confirmed, and 0 of the 2 unconfirmed
accounts on record ever signed in. The prize is our mail: /signup and /recover
send to whatever address the caller types, so a stranger could make
pezkuwichain.io mail thousands of people who never asked for it. Sending
reputation takes months to rebuild and every product on the domain shares it.
Rate limiting alone was not enough. GoTrue defaults to 30 emails/hour, which is
720 a day to attacker-chosen recipients; tightening it to 15 halves the number
without changing what is possible.
Verification runs inside GoTrue, not here. It POSTs to siteverify with the
widget secret before /signup, /recover, /resend, /magiclink, /otp and /token
with grant_type=password. Adding our own check in the frontend or a proxy would
protect nothing, because /auth/v1/signup is reachable directly.
One shared widget in execute mode rather than one per form: some of these are
buttons with nowhere to put a checkbox, and interaction-only appearance keeps
the challenge invisible unless Cloudflare asks for one. Tokens are single-use,
so each call renders fresh and tears down the previous widget.
Six call sites, matching the six protected endpoints — password login included,
since /token with grant_type=password is enforced. Refresh-token grants are
exempt, so open sessions are unaffected.
Site key travels as a build arg like the WalletConnect id: it is public by
construction, visible in the bundle. Only the secret is privileged and it lives
in GoTrue's env on the auth host.
Ships ahead of enforcement. Turning captcha on server-side before the frontend
sends tokens would break every login and signup in the same instant.
Moving approval to a GitHub Environment fixed the failure it was meant to fix,
and quietly broke something that worked. The old gate polled a file for 30
minutes holding a runner; on 2026-07-30 the window expired unseen and cancelled
a deploy. What replaced it holds the run for 30 days on no runner and records
who approved which SHA — but only answers to a browser. For a single approver
that means being at a PC for a deploy to move.
The notification now carries Approve and Reject buttons that answer the
environment's pending deployment through @pexsecBot. Nothing about the
enforcement changes: the protection rule still holds the deploy, and the bot
only presses the button as the reviewer. If the bot, its host, or its token is
gone, a release waits — none of that lets an unapproved deploy through. The
GitHub link stays as the fallback.
Bot side: pezkuwichain/pexsec-bot (new private repo — it had been an
unversioned copy on NEW-10 with three .bak files beside it).
All four deploy jobs carried `environment: production`, which reads as the
stricter design — GitHub holds each one until approved. It does not behave that
way. Approval requests are batched by eligibility, and these jobs are never
eligible together: deploy-supabase waits only on the notification while the rest
wait on image builds. So a run asks twice, minutes apart, and nothing announces
the second round.
That happened on 2026-07-31. The first approval shipped the Supabase functions
and migrations; the run went back to waiting and stayed there. For as long as it
sat, the schema had moved and the app serving it had not.
Deployment protection now lives on a single `approve-deploy` job that the four
deploy jobs depend on. One approval releases the whole set.
That trades GitHub's own per-job enforcement for a dependency edge, and an edge
can be dropped by a later edit. ops/check-deploy-gate.py makes it a guarantee
again: it fails CI if a deploy job does not depend on the gate, if a second job
declares the environment and brings the split back, or if a job uses always()
without asserting the gate succeeded — which looks correct and silently
un-holds it. Verified against all three by mutating the workflow.
Also documented in ops/README.md: a run waiting on approval cannot be stopped
with `gh run cancel`; its pending deployment must be rejected. And that
bump-version still pushes to main before the gate — left alone, but written
down rather than left to be rediscovered.
The migrations did not describe this database, and could not be made to.
Three findings, in the order they surfaced:
* 25 functions declared across six migrations — all recorded as applied — did
not exist. Their tables did. Two were reached by the app, so merchant tier
upgrades and post-trade reputation updates had been quietly dead. This only
came to light because a user hit "Could not find the function
public.upsert_user_profile(...)" while toggling a notification setting.
* admin_roles has three conflicting definitions across the set and production
matches none of them. 001 says (id, user_id, role, granted_by, granted_at),
COMBINED says (user_id, role, created_at), production has
(id, user_id, role, permissions, created_at, updated_at).
* Applied to an empty database, five migrations fail. The legacy 0NN filenames
sort before the 14-digit timestamps they depend on — "013" < "20241117054600"
— so 013 runs before the migration creating the table it alters. The set
could never have been replayed from scratch.
So it could not be tested, could not rebuild the database, and did not match what
was running. Widening or patching it would have been dressing up a history that
was already fiction.
The baseline is a pg_dump of the live public schema, which matches production by
construction. Privileges are included deliberately: the REVOKEs on
lock_escrow_internal, release_escrow_internal, refund_escrow_internal and
request_withdraw are the 20260725030000 hardening, and dropping them would hand
fund movement back to anon.
Verified step by step against production before committing:
- applies to an empty database cleanly, after three real obstacles were fixed
(extensions live in the `extensions` schema, supabase_admin membership,
platform-level ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES that cannot apply outside Supabase)
- produces 83 tables / 39 functions / 222 indexes / 360 policies — identical
counts to production
- recorded as applied in supabase_migrations without touching the 37 existing
rows, then dry-run confirmed "up to date — no pending migrations", so the
next deploy will not try to replay it over live tables
- drift check now reports "every declared function is present"; the known-gaps
list drops from 22 entries to zero
The old files move to migrations/archive/ rather than being deleted — they are
the only record of why parts of this look the way they do. Their README says
plainly not to run them, and why.
CI now applies migrations to an empty Postgres on every PR. That check was
impossible while the old set was the starting point; it is the thing that stops
this class of drift from being discovered by a user again.
Approval was implemented as a job that polled /tmp/pexsec-gates for 30 minutes
while holding a pwap-runner slot. On 2026-07-30 the request went out at 22:14,
was not seen in time, and at 22:44 the gate cancelled the deploy — #25 stayed
merged but never reached the database, and the only trace was a failed job.
Widening that timeout was the wrong fix, so this replaces the mechanism.
Deploys now gate on the `production` environment, which has SatoshiQaziMuhammed
as a required reviewer and is restricted to protected branches. GitHub holds the
run until it is approved:
- no runner is occupied while waiting (the loop burned one for the full window)
- the window is 30 days, not minutes, so a missed notification costs nothing
- the approval is recorded — who approved which SHA, in deployment history
- approval state lives outside the workflow, so a runner restart cannot lose it
telegram-gate becomes notify-deploy-pending: it sends one message and exits in
seconds, and cannot block anything. The message now links to the run rather than
carrying Approve/Cancel buttons, since approval happens in GitHub.
Only the four jobs that touch production carry the environment. Image builds and
the version bump stay ungated and run in parallel with the wait; nothing they
produce is user-visible until a deploy job runs.
#25 was merged, the approval request went out at 22:14, nobody saw it in time,
and at 22:44 the gate cancelled the deploy. Nothing shipped and the only trace
was a failed job — the repair migration sat merged but unapplied.
Thirty minutes assumes the approver is at their phone when the request lands. A
meeting or a night's sleep loses the deploy, and the failure mode is silent
unless someone goes looking at Actions.
Six hours, with the deadline now stated in the Telegram message itself so the
approver knows what they are working against. Job timeout-minutes is set to 370
explicitly: without it the job relies on GitHub's 6h default, which would kill
the job at almost exactly the moment the script is still waiting.
Worth being honest about the tradeoff: this job holds a pwap-runner slot for the
entire wait, so six hours of waiting is six hours that runner cannot do anything
else. The right fix is a GitHub Environment with required reviewers — that holds
no runner while it waits and allows up to 30 days. This loop is a hand-rolled
stand-in for that mechanism; widening it buys time but does not remove the cost.
The deploy step rsynced this repo's whole functions tree into the shared
edge-runtime volume. The comment on that line acknowledged the volume was
shared, but additive-without---delete only protects names we do not also use:
this repo and pezkuwi-telegram-miniapp both ship a telegram-auth, so the
2026-06-28 deploy replaced theirs and broke that app's sign-in for a month.
Writes now go through supabase-deploy-functions on the host, which validates
every incoming directory against a registry of who owns which name and refuses
the whole deploy if any of them is not ours. Nothing this repo legitimately
deploys changes; the miniapp has moved its two colliding functions to a tgm-
namespace, so the two projects no longer address the same directories.
Registry: /opt/supabase-self-hosted/functions-registry.json
Two problems with the backend deploy, fixed together:
1. It errored on every main push with 'missing server host' because
BACKEND_VPS_* wasn't set. A permanently-red job is a broken window —
it trains people to ignore deploy alerts and hides real failures.
Add a backend-cfg check job; deploy-backend now runs only when
BACKEND_VPS_HOST is set and skips cleanly (neutral) otherwise,
activating automatically once the host is provisioned.
2. It required a hand-placed /opt/pwap-indexer/.env on the host — a
fragile out-of-band manual step. The deployed image runs only the
indexer (src/index.js), which needs just WS_ENDPOINT beyond the fixed
PORT/DB_PATH (no KYC/council service, so no seed/Supabase secret).
Inject WS_ENDPOINT from the workflow (INDEXER_WS_ENDPOINT secret with a
public default) via -e; drop the --env-file dependency. Config now lives
in the pipeline, not a manual file on the box.
Adds a deploy-supabase job to the quality gate so the self-hosted Supabase
side ships the same way as the frontend/backend instead of by hand:
- gated by the existing telegram-gate (owner approves once, in Telegram)
- runs on main-push in parallel with deploy-app, so edge functions, DB
migrations and the new frontend go live in one post-approval window
- rsyncs the edge-function dirs into the edge-runtime volume (hot-reloaded,
no restart; --no-delete preserves the telegram-* functions)
- applies pending migrations via deploy/apply-migrations.sh: idempotent and
transactional, tracked in supabase_migrations.schema_migrations, skips
non-versioned files (COMBINED_*), never half-records a failed migration
- post-deploy health check verifies the fund-custody guards took effect
(anon lost EXECUTE on the escrow/withdraw RPCs; both freeze triggers exist)
- Telegram alert on success/failure
Requires repo secrets SUPABASE_VPS_HOST/USER/SSH_KEY/PORT.
Closes the "backend has zero CI + manual SSH deploy" audit finding for the indexer.
Part B — CI-runnable tests (the integration-tests/*.live.test.js need a live chain and
are excluded, not stubbed): extract injectable cores (indexer.js: DB+HTTP+decode, no
@pezkuwi import; council.js: createApp factory for the council/KYC routes). New node:test
suite (19/19, fully offline) — in-memory sqlite, dependency-injected chain stub, an
in-memory fake-supabase, and REAL @pezkuwi keyring signatures proving 401 bad-sig /
400 msg-mismatch / 200 valid / 409 dup / 403 non-member / threshold auto-execute. Backend
job now runs npm ci + npm test and is in ci-gate (failing tests block merge). Fixed a
latent bug: block indexing now awaits each insert (was fire-and-forget forEach). Added
runtime deps server.js imported but were missing from package.json (@supabase/supabase-js,
pino, pino-http) — server.js could not have `npm ci`-run before.
Part C — Dockerfile (non-root, HEALTHCHECK /health, sqlite state on a /data VOLUME kept
out of the image) + backend deploy pipeline mirroring the web one: build+push to GHCR,
cosign keyless sign + verify, ssh deploy with the DB volume preserved across deploys,
/health poll, auto-rollback to previous SHA, same Telegram CEO approval gate, main/tags
only, never fork PRs. New secrets documented in backend/DEPLOY.md (BACKEND_VPS_HOST/USER/
SSH_KEY). DB_PATH env (default ./transactions.db) lets prod point at the volume.
Note for owner: if server.js (council/KYC bootstrap) is legacy/unused, its newly-added
deps can be dropped instead.
Audit remediation (build/supply-chain/quality):
- Add `@pezkuwi/api-augment` import in main.tsx -> tsc errors 416->328 (Codec-typed
on-chain reads now augmented); add `typecheck` script + a non-blocking Typecheck CI
step (flip to blocking once errors reach 0).
- CI: `npm install` -> `npm ci` (lockfile enforced) in web + security-audit jobs; add a
Backend Indexer job (npm ci + node --check + non-blocking high/critical audit). No
live tests run in CI (they need a live chain) — a mockable CI test subset is a
follow-up.
- Vulns: bump dompurify ^3.4.12 + postcss ^8.5.23 (web prod highs cleared; only the
react-router v7 open-redirect remains, deferred as a breaking major); backend tar
^7.5.22 + ws ^8.21.1 (clears the critical tar advisory). Lockfiles regenerated.
- Prod build now drops console/debugger (vite esbuild.drop); NotificationBell realtime
subscription now returns cleanup + uses a per-user channel (fixes leak); ProfileSettings
language codes aligned to i18n config (ku-kurmanji/ku-sorani).
- Root package.json sdk-ui path env-driven (${SDK_UI_DIR}); generate-docs rustup path
resolved dynamically; Docker image license label MIT (matches LICENSE). Removed scratch
files (mimari.txt, _scratch_credit_serok.mjs).
The security-audit gate ran 'npm audit --audit-level=high' over all deps,
so newly-published advisories on build-only tooling (esbuild, elliptic via
vite-plugin-node-polyfills, etc.) repeatedly blocked production deploys
even though that code ships to no user. Scope the gate to production
dependencies with --omit=dev. Verified: 'npm audit --audit-level=high
--omit=dev' → 0 vulnerabilities. TruffleHog secret scanning is unchanged.
docker/login-action writes ~/.docker/config.json but cosign on self-
hosted runner does not always read it. Add 'cosign login ghcr.io'
before sign (build-image) and verify (deploy-app, deploy-pex) so the
registry blob upload/download authenticates correctly.
The previous run signed via Sigstore (Fulcio cert + Rekor tlog entry
created) but failed at the final 'push signature blob to GHCR' step
with UNAUTHORIZED. Explicit cosign login solves this.
* Faz 3.1 — All CI jobs moved to self-hosted pwap-runner (DEV VPS).
No more dependency on GitHub-hosted runners — supply-chain attack
surface from GHA runner image compromise eliminated.
* Faz 3.3 — Automatic rollback on health-check fail. Each deploy stamps
/.deploy-sha into the artifact. On health-check failure, the deploy
job reads the previous SHA from the live site, pulls that image, and
redeploys. Telegram notification differentiates: rolled-back-OK,
rollback-also-failed, no-prev-available, manual-rollback-needed.
* E.3 — cosign keyless image signing. build-image signs the GHCR
manifest via Sigstore Fulcio (OIDC, no long-lived keys). deploy-app
and deploy-pex verify the signature before extracting /dist —
unsigned or tampered images cannot deploy. Identity-pinned to this
workflow file.
* E.5 — Subresource Integrity (SRI). vite-plugin-subresource-integrity
injects sha384 integrity= into <script>/<link> tags at build time.
CDN/proxy compromise cannot inject tampered JS — browser blocks on
hash mismatch.
* E.2 — Dependabot triage. 14 alerts: 7 high + 4 moderate cleared via
npm audit fix + npm overrides (elliptic, create-ecdh). 6 low
(transitive in vite-plugin-node-polyfills chain) accepted; the
upstream fix proposes a semver-major DOWNGRADE which makes no sense.
* E.1 — Branch protection on main: CI Gate ✅ required, 1 review
required, force-push and deletion blocked.
Vite aliases @pezkuwi/utils → ../shared/utils, so the Docker build context
must include both web/ and shared/. Previous context: ./web missed shared/
which caused 'Could not load /shared/utils/formatting' at module resolution.
Changes:
- Dockerfile WORKDIR=/build/web; COPY web/* and shared/* explicitly
- Workflow context: ./ + file: ./web/Dockerfile
- Move .dockerignore from web/ to pwap root (matches new context)
Faz 1 — State-actor threat-model defenses:
* Telegram approval gate via PEXSEC_BOT — CEO must approve every deploy in Telegram (30-min timeout). Runs on new self-hosted pwap-runner on DEV VPS, shares /tmp/pexsec-gates/ with pexsec-bot.service.
* DEV VPS app-deploy user privilege drop — deploys no longer run as root. CI key restricted with no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-user-rc. Privilege drop verified (cannot read /etc/shadow, /root/, sudo blocked).
* Image-based deploy — Dockerfile (node 20 build → busybox:musl dist) pushed to GHCR with SHA tag. Deploys pull image, extract /dist, scp to VPS. Immutable artifacts, full provenance.
* Health check + Telegram failure alert post-deploy.
* Rollback path: workflow_dispatch with rollback_to=<sha> — skips build, redeploys old image. CEO gate still required.
Faz 2 — Higher-tier defenses:
* TruffleHog secret scan — PR diff (fast) + push full-repo (verified secrets only).
* CodeQL SAST workflow — javascript-typescript, security-extended + security-and-quality queries. PR + push + weekly cron.
* npm audit raised from --audit-level=critical to --audit-level=high (caught more CVEs).
* CI Gate ✅ explicit merge-block job — fails if any required check is not success/skipped.
Enables manual re-deploy via 'gh workflow run quality-gate.yml' without
needing a code push. Useful for: redeploy after secret rotation, post-
incident recovery, deploy verification.
Split monolithic deploy job into bump-version + deploy-app + deploy-pex.
Both deploys run in parallel from same build artifact, independent
secrets per VPS. If one country blocks a domain, the other VPS keeps
serving the same version.
- bump-version: single source of version bump, runs before both deploys
- deploy-app: existing target /var/www/subdomains/app on DEV VPS
- deploy-pex: new target /var/www/pex.mom on VPS3 (217.77.6.126)
Requires secrets: VPS_PEX_HOST, VPS_PEX_USER, VPS_PEX_SSH_KEY, VPS_PEX_SSH_PORT
* chore: update exchange submodule to pex.network release + add shared images
Exchange submodule advanced to include:
- sweeper.js: TRC-20 JWT Bearer auth, DOT transferAll, PEZ-AH pre-fund
- docker-compose.yml: pex.network defaults for VITE_API_BASE_URL and SMTP_FROM
- .github/workflows/build-deploy.yml: pex.network build arg for web service
Shared images added: keziyakurd, kiwi_perwerde, kurdistan_assembly, pezkuwi, satoshi_qazi_muh
* chore: remove mobile/ from monorepo, suspend CI mobile job
Mobile app moved to /home/mamostehp/pwap-mobile (local, suspended).
Will be re-integrated when mobile development resumes.
- Removed mobile/ directory entirely
- Removed Mobile App job from quality-gate.yml so CI no longer blocks
Mobile app is distributed via Play Store DApps browser, no longer
built/deployed from this repo. Deploy and security audit now only
depend on the web job passing.

The workflow was using npm workspace commands (-w web) but the repository
doesn't have a root package.json configured for workspaces. Updated to use
working-directory instead to properly execute commands in the web directory.
Changes:
- Install dependencies: npm ci in web directory
- Run linter: npm run lint in web directory
- Run tests: npm run test in web directory
- Build project: npm run build in web directory
This fixes the "No workspaces found" error that was causing the workflow to fail.
