Tomas DvorakandDevin 55edbf8b56 feat: phase 6 production hardening + DB-to-DB transfer
Security:
- Graceful shutdown: http.Server + signal.NotifyContext, 10s drain,
  retention sweeper cancelled before pool close
- Scoped API keys (migration 00006): ingest/read/write/admin enforced in
  auth middleware; scope picker + badges in Settings UI; scopeless legacy
  keys act as admin. Read-only keys now get 403 on ingest (verified live)
- nginx: baseline security headers on all responses, CSP scoped to SPA;
  fixed add_header inheritance shadowing
- better-auth rate limit enabled unconditionally (was gated on NODE_ENV,
  which the shipped .env sets to development)
- Mailpit moved to docker-compose.dev.yml; prod compose cannot expose it
- setup.sh generates PRIMORA_ENCRYPTION_KEY

Reliability/ops:
- Retention: per-project retention_{events,audit,webhook}_days
  (migration 00007, 0=off) + hourly RetentionSweeper; edit UI in Projects
- GET /api/v1/metrics Prometheus exposition
- compose: healthchecks + restart policies everywhere, dragonfly pinned
  to v2.0.0, depends_on service_healthy
- backup.sh/restore.sh (pg_dump -Fc + storage volume); restore verified
  against scratch postgres+volume
- .dockerignore: exclude target dirs (build context was 4.7GB)

Correctness/testing:
- DBX transfer endpoint: POST /db-connections/:id/transfer — SQL or Redis
  target, 1000-row bound, server-side creds (verified live pg→dragonfly)
- Pagination audit: ListComponents capped at 500 (auto-registers)
- CI: goose up/reset/up job + compose e2e-smoke job (smoke-e2e.sh
  verified locally: signup, bootstrap, scoped keys, ingest, metrics)
- k6 load sanity script: 6650 reqs, ~217/s, 0 real failures, p95 221ms
  (429s = configured rate limiter working)

Docs: DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md, PRODUCTION_READINESS.md; verify script
repaired (stale refs + set -e arithmetic abort). ROADMAP: phase 2 +
phase 6 marked complete.

Primora Production Readiness

Status checklist for self-hosted production use. Everything listed under "Hardened" is implemented and verified; "Known limits" is the honest remainder.

Hardened

  • Graceful shutdown — the backend drains in-flight requests for up to 10 s on SIGTERM/SIGINT (internal/app).
  • Scoped API keys — ingest / read / write / admin, enforced in auth middleware before handlers run. Legacy keys without stored scopes act as admin.
  • Brute-force protection — Better Auth rate limiting is enabled unconditionally (3 attempts / 10 s on sign-in, sign-up, password change); an IP-level limiter caps /auth/* at 60 req/min, and per-identity API rate limits apply via USER_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE / API_KEY_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE in Dragonfly.
  • Metrics — GET /api/v1/metrics in Prometheus text format.
  • Retention — per-project sweeper for telemetry events, audit log rows, and webhook deliveries (retention_*_days, 0 = disabled, default 90).
  • Edge security — nginx emits X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and a CSP scoped to the SPA only.
  • Compose hygiene — all services have healthchecks and restart: unless-stopped; Dragonfly is pinned to v2.0.0; Mailpit lives only in docker-compose.dev.yml.
  • Secrets — setup.sh generates JWT_SECRET, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, and PRIMORA_ENCRYPTION_KEY; credentials and webhook secrets are AES-256 encrypted at rest.
  • Release images — GitHub release builds linux/amd64 + linux/arm64 via buildx/QEMU.
  • CI coverage — Go tests, frontend tests + typecheck, all three Docker builds, golangci-lint, migration up/reset/up round-trip, and a compose E2E smoke (scripts/smoke-e2e.sh).
  • Backups — scripts/backup.sh / scripts/restore.sh cover the database (custom-format dump) and the storage volume.

Known limits

  • Storage is local filesystem only. No S3 backend — the backend_storage volume is the durability boundary.
  • Single host. Compose topology is single-node; postgres and dragonfly are not clustered. HA is out of scope for v0.x.
  • No TLS inside the stack. Terminate at a front proxy (Caddy/Traefik); see DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md.
  • Metrics are in-memory counters. /api/v1/metrics covers request totals/errors/duration — not per-route histograms or DB pool stats yet.
  • /api/v1/metrics is unauthenticated. Scrape-only design; block it at the edge for public instances (commented rule in infra/nginx/default.conf).
