Skips and partial ports

• #184 (security headers/CORS): a minimal port. It adds CSP (script-src 'self', no inline), X-Frame-Options DENY, nosniff and Referrer-Policy same-origin, and removes the permissive CorsLayer, so CORS is same-origin. Deferred: the cors_allowed_origins allow-list, the /api/health cross-origin exception and the extra CSP directives. /api (SAB clients) and /dav only gain the headers.
• Port xbmc4lyfe batch 4 (issues #152–#197, PRs #165–#198) #170 (migrations): re-implemented. Each migration step is wrapped in a transaction and re-runnable on our diverged migration ladder; upstream's diff isn't replayed.

For the security review, please look closely at

• #191 65b61bf: /dav now accepts the web UI session token. Check the scope and the token handling.
• #184 3bfb329: headers and CORS, as above.
• #196 2bf4edb: merge conflicts in rss_monitor.rs were resolved by deleting marker lines with sed during porting. Verify that nothing was dropped.
• Port xbmc4lyfe batch 4 (issues #152–#197, PRs #165–#198) #170 a163b06: the migration rewrite. Check the atomicity and re-runnability on an existing DB.

Known pre-existing failure

unknown_config_entries_return_404_and_duplicates_return_409 (groups returns 500 instead of 404) already fails on the branch before #184, so it isn't introduced by these ports. Track it separately.

Security review: no security blockers, 3 merge blockers (head d943194)

All 20 commits were reviewed. The upstream-derived content was treated as untrusted. No security blockers and nothing malicious were found. Three regressions introduced by this PR keep it from merging; two of them turn CI red.

Local checks at this head:

• cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast: 1075 passed, 1 failed (see blocker 1).
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings: clean.
• cargo fmt --check: clean.

CI: rust (required) and desktop fail. policy, Analyze (rust), Analyze (javascript-typescript), e2e, frontend and CodeQL are green, and CodeQL raised no new alerts.

Blockers (not security)

1. Group routes return 500 instead of 404, so the required rust check fails. The PR body calls this test failure pre-existing, but it isn't: it passes on main, and main's CI is green at dfed273.

• Main has four ApiError::not_found("Group not found") sites. 703adae replaces one, and db09759 replaces two more, with ApiError::from(anyhow!("Group not found")), which maps to 500.
• The affected lines are apps/rustnzb/src/group_handlers.rs:222, :241 and :379.
• This undoes batch 2's #79 status-code fix for those routes. unknown_config_entries_return_404_and_duplicates_return_409 fails locally and in CI with {"error_kind":"internal_error","human_readable":"Group not found","status":500}.
• Fix: switch those three back to ApiError::not_found.

2. The new CSP blocks the UI's global stylesheet (3bfb329).

• The production build uses Angular's default critical-CSS inlining, so index.html loads styles-*.css as <link media="print" onload="this.media='all'">. script-src 'self' without 'unsafe-inline' blocks that inline onload, so the stylesheet stays print-only on screen.
• PoC: a static page carrying the PR's exact CSP header and the same <link>, loaded in headless Chromium, keeps media="print". The same page without the CSP switches to media="all".
• Impact: 84 of the 86 rules in the built styles.css aren't inlined. They include the body[data-theme=light|midnight] theme switches and the .card, .panel, table.data and .pill/.status-pill styles used across 5–8 components. Every user would get an unstyled layout. e2e checks visibility, not styling, so it can't catch this.
• Fix: set "optimization": {"styles": {"inlineCritical": false}} in the production configuration. The commit lists that step as deferred, but it's needed together with this CSP. The alternative is 'unsafe-hashes' plus the handler's hash. Either keeps script-src strict.

3. desktop fails with --locked. desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock still pins nzb-dispatch 0.2.8, while this PR bumps it to 0.2.9. Fix: run cargo update -p nzb-dispatch in desktop/src-tauri.

Focus areas

• #191 65b61bf (DAV session token): no issues.
  • dav_auth accepts Authorization: Bearer only through validate_access_token. That looks up the separate access-token map, so refresh tokens are rejected. Tokens expire after 15 minutes and logout revokes them; auth.rs is unchanged.
  • The same token already grants full /api admin, so /dav access adds no new capability.
  • An invalid Bearer gets a 401 with a Bearer challenge, so browsers don't show a password popup. Anything else still gets the Basic challenge for DAV clients. Open access when no DAV credentials are set is unchanged from main.
  • The frontend sends the token only in a same-origin Authorization header, never in a URL. A DAV 401 doesn't trigger refresh or logout.
• #184 3bfb329 (headers and CORS):
  • The headers are verified on a running instance: CSP, X-Frame-Options: DENY, nosniff, Referrer-Policy: same-origin, and no Access-Control-*.
  • Removing CorsLayer doesn't affect non-browser clients (Sonarr/Radarr, DAV clients), and auth on /api and /dav is unchanged.
  • The desktop app loads the server URL itself (WebviewUrl::External(127.0.0.1)), so it stays same-origin.
  • The UI uses no WebSockets, eval, or external origins beyond the two Google Fonts hosts the CSP allows.
  • The one problem is blocker 2. Note also that frame-ancestors 'none' stops dashboards such as Organizr from iframing the UI; add a release note.
• #196 2bf4edb (conflict markers): nothing dropped.
  • I fetched upstream PR #196 read-only (head 7830e6b, base 1ca5ee7) and redid the three-way merge of rss_monitor.rs with git merge-file. There is one conflict, in the test module: our batch-3 tests against upstream's new tests.
  • The PR's file equals that merge with both sides kept, plus one added } that closes our last test, rule_naming_another_feed_does_not_apply. Every function from both sides is present.
  • The production code matches upstream's auto_download_target refactor applied on top of our side.
  • No conflict markers remain anywhere in the tree or in any PR commit.
• #170 a163b06 (migrations): atomic and safe to re-run.
  • Each of the 16 if version < N steps now runs its DDL and its schema_version update in one unchecked_transaction and commits via commit_migration. SQLite DDL is transactional, so an interrupted step rolls back and re-runs cleanly.
  • version is read once, and finished steps are skipped on an existing database.
  • The only PRAGMAs run at connection open, outside any migration transaction, so none are silently ignored.
  • 6a3716f's history and stats-ledger insert also commits as one transaction.
  • Nit: add_column_if_missing is unused dead code (#[allow(dead_code)]).
• #166 (single-instance lock): sound for the headless binary; should-fix for desktop.
  • The lock is flock(LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) on data_dir/rustnzb.lock (Windows: share mode 0). It's taken after data_dir exists and before the DB opens, and the file is never written or truncated.
  • The headless binary keeps result alive until main returns, so the lock is held.
  • Should-fix: in desktop/src-tauri/src/main.rs start_engine(), result is local. result.state is moved out, and when the function returns (queue_manager, port) the rest of result is dropped, including _instance_lock. InstanceLock::drop then unlocks right after startup. The desktop app has no other single-instance guard, so a second launch, or a headless instance on the same data dir, can run alongside it. That isn't worse than main, which had no lock, but #166 doesn't protect desktop. Fix: keep the StartupResult or its lock in EngineState.
• #190/#194 (SQL paging): no injection.
  • Every format! in groups_db.rs interpolates only constants (GROUP_FILTER, LIKE_FILTER, HEADER_COLUMNS, THREAD_ROOT). LIMIT/OFFSET and search values are bound ?N parameters.
  • Limits and offsets parse as usize, are clamped to i64, and pages are capped at 1000. Header fetch is capped at 10,000.
  • FTS search strips quotes and wraps the input as a single phrase, so FTS operators can't be injected. There's a test covering ' OR 1=1 --.
  • History paging builds no SQL; it filters and pages in Rust.
  • Should-fix: GET /api/history?days=100000000 panics the handler (Utc::now() - Duration::days(u32) overflows chrono's range). I confirmed this: 95M days is fine, and 100M and u32::MAX panic. It needs an authenticated user and drops only that request. Clamp it or use checked_sub_signed.
  • Nit: history paging loads the full history (without NZB blobs) on every page request, where main used history_list(limit).
• Dependencies and pins:
  • No new crates. nzb-dispatch goes 0.2.8 → 0.2.9.
  • Cargo.lock re-points ten windows-sys edges 0.61.2 → 0.60.2. That version was already in the lock, and it only affects Windows.
  • In apps/rustnzb/Cargo.toml, tempfile/arc-swap stay in [dev-dependencies]; the only change is tab indentation (nit).
  • No CI, build-script or npm package changes.
• Secrets and estate internals: none in the diff or commit messages. (FYI, unrelated to this PR: main already has repo.indexarr.net at settings-view.component.ts:1040.)

Other should-fix

• Refresh token sent as the access token (auth.service.ts:84-86, 78e05ec). After a cross-tab rotation, discardFailedSession() sets accessToken from localStorage[REFRESH_KEY], so the retry sends Bearer <refresh token>. The server rejects it (access-token map only), and the request stays same-origin, so this isn't a bypass. Read ACCESS_KEY there instead.

Nits

• Co-author trailers use five different forms for xbmc4lyfe: bare name, noreply@github.com, legacy noreply, the correct 273732874+…, and one 168791846+xbmc4lyfe@…, which is the wrong user ID and could credit another account. Use 273732874+xbmc4lyfe@users.noreply.github.com throughout.
• Browse connections: browsing opens one extra connection per server beyond connections. It's capped by Semaphore(1) and documented, but strict providers may reject it.
• Bearer to any origin: the interceptor attaches the bearer to every request regardless of origin. That's pre-existing, and the app only makes relative requests.

Not merged, and nothing pushed to any remote. A new head needs a fresh review.

Security review: no blockers (head 358e313)

This is a delta re-review of d943194..358e313. d943194 is an ancestor of this head, and the base is unchanged (dfed273). The full review at d943194 still applies to everything below that commit. The delta is three commits touching three files. It adds no dependencies, and there are no CI, build-script or npm package changes.

All three round-1 merge blockers are fixed

1. Group 404s (97af62b): group_handlers.rs:222, :241 and :379 use ApiError::not_found("Group not found") again, so all four sites match main. The required rust check is green, including unknown_config_entries_return_404_and_duplicates_return_409.
2. CSP versus critical-CSS inlining (00b1d60): the production configuration now sets optimization.styles.inlineCritical: false, with script, style and font optimisation still on.
   • I ran npm ci --ignore-scripts && ng build --configuration production at this head and inspected the generated dist/frontend/browser/index.html:
     • The only <script> is the external main-*.js module.
     • There are 0 inline scripts, 0 on*= handler attributes and 0 javascript: URLs.
     • The stylesheet is a plain <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles-*.css">, with no media="print"/onload swap.
     • The only inline <style> blocks are Angular's inlined Google Fonts @font-face rules. style-src 'unsafe-inline' allows those, and their font files come from fonts.gstatic.com, which font-src allows.
   • Nothing in the page is blocked by the CSP, and script-src 'self' stays strict.
3. Desktop lockfile (358e313): desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock now pins nzb-dispatch 0.2.9. It also re-points 14 windows-sys edges to 0.60.2, which was already in that lock. No packages are added and no checksums change. desktop (--locked) is green.

CI at this head

All 11 checks are green: the required policy, rust, Analyze (rust) and Analyze (javascript-typescript), plus desktop, e2e, frontend, container-smoke, CodeQL (no alerts), dependency-review and runner-policy.

Still open (non-blocking, from round 1)

• Should-fix:
  • The desktop app releases the single-instance lock at the end of start_engine().
  • GET /api/history?days=100000000 panics the handler.
  • auth.service.ts:86 puts the refresh token into the access-token signal.
• Release notes: frame-ancestors 'none' stops dashboards such as Organizr from iframing the UI.
• Nits: as listed in round 1, including the inconsistent xbmc4lyfe co-author emails and one wrong user ID. The queue-view style budget is also exceeded by 128 bytes (a build warning).

Not merged. This verdict covers only this head SHA.
