📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Oversized compressed requests are now rejected with HTTP 413, including when decompression streams; malformed WebRTC session descriptions return errors instead of causing a panic.
  • Performance and Reliability
    • Skill repository exports are reused when content is unchanged, reducing repeated work. Concurrent repository and archive requests are limited; excess requests receive HTTP 503 and can retry shortly.
    • Cached skill repositories and active sessions are cleaned up during shutdown.

Walkthrough

The changes add bounded zstd decoding and decompressed-body limits, cache exported skills repositories and limit corpus-serving concurrency, and recover panics during remote SDP application. Server cleanup now closes the skills-serving handler.

Changes

Decompression limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded zstd decoders
core/providers/utils/decompression.go, core/providers/utils/decompression_test.go
Zstd decoders use an 8 MiB window limit, a 100 MiB memory limit, and concurrency 1. A helper identifies decoder size-limit errors. Tests cover oversized frames, allocation bounds, and a valid bounded frame.
HTTP decompressed-body limits
transports/bifrost-http/handlers/middlewares.go, transports/bifrost-http/handlers/middlewares_test.go
Buffered and streaming decompression enforce the configured body limit, defaulting to 100 MB. Size-limit errors return 413; other decompression errors retain a 400 response.

Skills repository serving

Layer / File(s) Summary
Versioned repository cache
transports/bifrost-http/handlers/skills_serving.go, transports/bifrost-http/handlers/skills_serving_test.go
Git routes reuse bare-repository exports keyed by repository and corpus version. Marketplace keys also include a digest of the request manifest. Tests cover cache reuse, invalidation, concurrent builds, reader releases, and build panics.
Request limits and cache cleanup
transports/bifrost-http/handlers/skills_serving.go, transports/bifrost-http/handlers/skills_serving_test.go, transports/bifrost-http/server/server.go
Corpus Git and ZIP requests share a four-request non-queuing limit and return 503 with Retry-After: 1 when full. ZIP requests hold a slot through streaming. Server shutdown and serve-error cleanup close the skills-serving handler.

WebRTC SDP handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote SDP panic recovery
transports/bifrost-http/handlers/webrtc_realtime.go, transports/bifrost-http/handlers/webrtc_realtime_test.go, transports/go.mod
Remote SDP application uses a helper that converts panics into sdp rejected errors. The transport module updates Pion and related dependencies.

… request handling (#7856)

This PR hardens the gateway against three classes of request-level denial-of-service and process-termination vectors: a zstd frame header that declares a large back-reference window causing unbounded heap allocation before any output is produced, a malformed WebRTC SDP offer that panics inside the pion parser and terminates the process, and the absence of any panic recovery in the fasthttp handler chain meaning any panicking request kills every in-flight request with it.

- **Zstd decoder memory bounds**: Added `ZstdDecoderMaxWindow` (8 MiB) and `ZstdDecoderMaxMemory` (1 GiB) constants and applied them to every decoder acquired from the pool. A frame declaring a larger window is refused before any allocation occurs. `IsDecompressionSizeLimitError` lets callers distinguish this from a malformed-body error and map it to 413 rather than 400.

- **Decompression middleware size enforcement**: `RequestDecompressionMiddleware` now computes `maxRequestBodyBytes` before branching so both the streaming and buffered paths share the same cap. The streaming path wraps the decompressed reader in a `limitedBodyReader` that returns `errRequestBodyTooLarge` (rather than silently truncating like `io.LimitedReader`) once the cap is exceeded. Both paths check `IsDecompressionSizeLimitError` and return 413 with a message naming the exceeded bound.

- **`limitedBodyReader`**: Replaces the `io.LimitedReader` + post-read length check pattern. Reading exactly the limit succeeds; the next byte fails with `errRequestBodyTooLarge`, so callers see an error rather than a silently truncated body.

- **`RecoveryMiddleware`**: Added as the outermost middleware in the fasthttp handler chain. A panic escaping any handler is caught, logged with a stack trace, and converted to a 500 for that request. The process and all other in-flight requests continue.

- **`setRemoteDescription` panic wrapper**: Wraps `pc.SetRemoteDescription` in a deferred recover so a panic raised by the pion SDP parser (e.g. an empty simulcast rid segment) surfaces as an error for the one request rather than terminating the process.

- **Skills git repo cache (`skillsGitRepoCache`)**: Exported bare repositories are now cached per repository key and fingerprinted by the all-skills corpus version. Repeated fetches of an unchanged corpus reuse one export instead of rebuilding the object graph and a temp directory per request. A changed version evicts all entries; a dropped entry's directory is removed once no in-flight request is still reading from it. `SkillsServingHandler.Close` purges the cache on shutdown.

- **Skills corpus concurrency gate**: `acquireSkillsCorpusServeSlot` limits corpus-serving requests (git smart HTTP and the all-skills zip download) to four concurrent operations. Requests beyond the cap receive 503 with `Retry-After: 1` immediately rather than queuing.

- **pion dependency upgrades**: `pion/webrtc/v4`, `pion/rtcp`, and their transitive dependencies updated to current releases.

- **E2E test collection**: Added three new cases covering the zstd oversized-window 413, the malformed SDP offer returning an HTTP status rather than a dropped connection, and a liveness probe confirming the gateway survives the malformed offer.

- **Fixture file**: `tests/e2e/api/fixtures/zstd-window-512mib.zst` — the nine-byte zstd frame used by the E2E test.

go test ./bifrost-http/handlers/... -run TestSetRemoteDescription

go test ./bifrost-http/handlers/... -run 'TestSkillsServing|TestSkillsGitRepoCache'

go test ./...
```

Send a POST to `/v1/chat/completions` with `Content-Encoding: zstd` and the nine-byte fixture body (`tests/e2e/api/fixtures/zstd-window-512mib.zst`); expect HTTP 413 with a body containing `window size exceeded`. Confirm process memory does not spike.

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

- A nine-byte zstd body could previously cause the decoder to reserve up to 512 MiB (or more with a crafted frame) of heap per request before producing any output. The new window and memory caps prevent this class of amplification attack.
- The `limitedBodyReader` change closes a silent-truncation gap: previously a body that hit the `io.LimitedReader` cap appeared to succeed with a truncated payload; now it fails loudly, preventing a request from being processed with incomplete data.
- The `RecoveryMiddleware` and `setRemoteDescription` wrapper prevent a single malformed request from terminating the process and all in-flight connections.
