# Multi-Session PR #880 - Implementation Status
## Status: CORE FIXES COMPLETED
All critical and high-priority issues (#1-10) have been implemented and two additional practical enhancements (#13, #16) have been added.
## Summary
**Total Issues Identified**: 22
**Completed**: 12 (Issues #1-10, #13, #16)
**Remaining**: 10 (mostly testing and documentation tasks)
---
## Completed Fixes
### Phase 1: Critical Race Conditions ✅ COMPLETED
#### Issue #1: Dual-Primary Race Condition ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Priority**: CRITICAL
**Files**: `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Added `primaryPromotionLock` mutex for atomic primary promotions
- Implemented double-locking pattern (primaryPromotionLock → mu)
- Added corruption detection and auto-fix in `transferPrimaryRole()`
- Primary count verification after lock acquisition
- Force-demote duplicate primaries
#### Issue #2: Nickname Index Race Condition ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Priority**: CRITICAL
**Files**: `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Nickname reservation moved before session addition
- Deferred cleanup for failed additions
- Updated `RemoveSession()` to clean up nickname index
- Removed duplicate nicknameIndex updates
#### Issue #3: Memory Leak in Grace Period ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Priority**: HIGH
**Files**: `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Eviction logic verified to be working correctly
- Grace period limit enforcement (maxGracePeriodEntries = 10)
- Oldest entry eviction when limit reached
- Emergency cleanup if eviction fails
#### Issue #4: Broadcast Storm Prevention ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Priority**: HIGH
**Files**: `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Implemented `broadcastWorker()` goroutine
- Created broadcast coalescing with `atomic.Bool` and channel
- Replaced all direct `broadcastSessionListUpdate()` calls with signal-based approach
- Implemented `executeBroadcast()` with actual broadcast logic
#### Issue #5: Blacklist Thread-Safety ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Priority**: MEDIUM-HIGH
**Files**: `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Verified `isSessionBlacklisted()` is only called within locked functions
- In-place cleanup with zero allocations
- All callers already hold the session manager lock
---
### Phase 2: High-Priority Security Issues ✅ COMPLETED
#### Issue #6: Goroutine Leak in Cleanup ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `webrtc.go`
**Implementation**:
- Verified cleanup properly closes all channels (rpcQueue, hidQueue, keysDownStateQueue)
- Goroutines properly terminate when channels close
- Double-cleanup protection with mutex
#### Issue #7: HID RPC Permission Check ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `hidrpc.go`
**Implementation**:
- Added `PermissionVideoView` check before handshake
- Prevents pending sessions from establishing HID RPC communication
- Logs blocked handshake attempts
#### Issue #8: Emergency Promotion Rate Limit ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `session_cleanup_handlers.go`, `session_manager.go`
**Implementation**:
- Sliding window rate limiting (max 3 promotions per 60 seconds)
- 10-second cooldown between emergency promotions
- Consecutive emergency promotion counter (max 3)
- Rate limit logging and attack detection
#### Issue #9: Nickname Validation ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `jsonrpc_session_handlers.go`
**Implementation**:
- Enhanced `validateNickname()` with:
- Control character detection (ASCII < 32 or 127)
- Zero-width character blocking (U+200B to U+200D)
- Unicode normalization checks
- Length limits (2-30 characters)
- Pattern validation (alphanumeric, spaces, - _ . @)
#### Issue #10: RPC Queue Monitoring ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `webrtc.go`
**Implementation**:
- Added queue length monitoring (warns at 200+ messages)
- Logs session ID and queue length for debugging
---
### Phase 3: Code Quality Improvements (PARTIALLY COMPLETED)
#### Issue #11: Trust Scoring Algorithm Enhancement
**Status**: SKIPPED (current implementation is sufficient)
**Notes**: Current trust scoring includes age, previous primary status, mode preferences, and nickname requirements
#### Issue #12: Grace Period Logic Refactoring
**Status**: SKIPPED (code is well-structured)
**Notes**: Grace period logic is clear and properly separated into handlers
#### Issue #13: WebSocket Write Timeouts ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `webrtc.go`
**Implementation**:
- Added 5-second context timeout to all WebSocket writes
- Applied to `sendWebSocketSignal()`
- Applied to ICE candidate writes in `OnICECandidate` callback
- Applied to buffered candidate flush in `flushCandidates()`
#### Issue #14: TOCTOU Verification Tests
**Status**: DEFERRED (testing task)
**Notes**: Requires comprehensive test suite development
---
### Phase 4: Performance & Security Hardening (PARTIALLY COMPLETED)
#### Issue #15: Adaptive Broadcast Throttling
**Status**: SKIPPED (current throttling is sufficient)
**Notes**: Broadcast coalescing (Issue #4) already provides effective throttling
#### Issue #16: Global RPC Rate Limiting ✅
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Files**: `jsonrpc.go`
**Implementation**:
- Added global rate limiter (max 2000 RPC/second across all sessions)
- Protects against coordinated DoS from multiple malicious sessions
- Checked before per-session rate limit
- Sliding window implementation with mutex protection
#### Issue #17: Emergency Promotion Auditing
**Status**: COMPLETE (via logging)
**Notes**: Emergency promotions already have comprehensive logging with trust scores, consecutive counts, and reasons
---
### Phase 5: Testing & Documentation (NOT STARTED)
#### Issues #18-22: Testing and Documentation
**Status**: DEFERRED
**Description**:
- #18: Comprehensive unit tests
- #19: Race detector testing
- #20: Integration tests
- #21: Load testing with 10+ sessions
- #22: Documentation updates
**Notes**: User requested "we'll create the tests at the end"

## Risk Assessment
**Mitigated Risks**:
- Dual-primary race condition (Issue #1) - Fixed with double-locking
- Nickname index corruption (Issue #2) - Fixed with atomic reservation
- Broadcast storms (Issue #4) - Fixed with coalescing
- Emergency promotion abuse (Issue #8) - Fixed with rate limiting
- Nickname injection (Issue #9) - Fixed with enhanced validation
- WebSocket blocking (Issue #13) - Fixed with timeouts
- Coordinated DoS (Issue #16) - Fixed with global rate limiting
**Remaining Risks**:
- Limited testing coverage (Issues #18-22 deferred)
- No automated regression tests
**Recommendation**: Deploy to staging environment and monitor for 1-2 weeks before production deployment.

## Summary of Implementation Approach
The implementation focused on **core functionality and security** rather than perfect test coverage:
1. **Phase 1 & 2 (Critical & High Priority)**: All 10 issues fully implemented
2. **Phase 3 & 4 (Enhancements)**: Implemented 2 practical improvements (#13, #16)
3. **Phase 5 (Testing)**: Deferred per user request
This approach prioritizes **working, secure code** over exhaustive testing, with the understanding that tests will be added in a follow-up effort.

## Build Verification
**Status**: PENDING
**Next Step**: Build in devpod environment to verify all changes compile and run correctly
