Documentation and repo-hygiene pass following the client/server split:
Plan drift (audited all other active plans against current code):
- oikos-gaps-and-improvements.md: mark Section C and D.5 resolved (both
described cmd/hermes, renamed to cmd/nomos with a real LLM loop since);
refresh ~10 stale file:line citations; fix tool-count (33, not 28).
- liveness-drift-and-ux-cohesion.md: fix stale default-model claim (now
deepseek-v4-pro since 2026-07-10) and "not yet deployed" status.
- nomos-agent-code-review.md: fix C1's citation (one unauthenticated route
to nomos now, not two, after the client/server split).
- wails-desktop-app.md: record the production deploy outcome.
Repo structure: added missing directories to README/CONTRIBUTING layout
tables (checks/, tools/, cmd/webhook/, docs/operations/), fixed a broken
link, added ADR 0015 documenting the auth/CORS/client-split model (there
wasn't one despite CONTRIBUTING's own process requiring it), normalized
ADR 0013/0014's format drift, added an Authentication section to
AGENTS.md/CLIENTS.md (every example call was missing the now-required
bearer header).
Retired the Goose+Nomos workstation flow (bootstrap.sh --with-nomos,
tools/setup-nomos-soul.sh, .agents/operations/nomos-agent.md) and the
Caveman auto-install tooling (tools/setup-caveman.sh, tools/caveman/) —
both superseded by the production containerized Nomos agent, which has
never used either. Kept .agents/shared/caveman.md itself (the terse
writing-style convention agents still follow by reading it).
Deleted the orphaned legacy Python oikos/ directory — nothing imports it,
and bin/homelab (the CLI it was kept for) no longer exists in the repo.
Rewrote .agents/operations/agent-enrollment.md (365 -> ~110 lines) and
commands.md to match the current architecture instead of the retired
`homelab` CLI; migrated the still-true networking prerequisites (Netbird,
split-horizon DNS, SSH key distribution) into the knowledge base as a
runbook via upsert_knowledge rather than duplicating them in markdown.
Updated all 10 .agents/skills/ runbooks referencing the dead CLI with
their real MCP tool / REST API equivalents, or flagged them as needing
verification where no equivalent is confirmed yet.
Two real bugs found and fixed, not just docs:
- The tools/setup-*.sh auto-setup glob was tools/*.setup.sh in THREE
places (tools/post-pull.sh, bootstrap.sh, and internal/httpapi/impl.go's
GetClientContext handler) since the mechanism's introduction on
2026-06-02 — never matched any real filename, so no client has ever
picked up an auto-setup script via git-pull or the context-poller sync.
Fixed all three; the Go server-side fix is the one that actually matters
since it's what the current context-poller mechanism depends on.
- bootstrap.sh removed dead vestigial --gitea-token/--gitea-user flags
(parsed, never consumed) left over from an earlier clone-based model.
Also flagged, not fixed (documented as an open gap in
client-enrollment/SKILL.md): bootstrap.sh tells a freshly-enrolled client
to call POST /api/v1/clients/{slug}/activate to finish enrollment, but
that route doesn't exist in api/openapi.yaml — EnrollClient sets entities
to provisioning and nothing currently transitions them to active.

# ADR 0015 — Bearer-token auth for every route + client/server split
|
|
|
|
Status: accepted (2026-07-12) · Plan: plans/2026-07-12-wails-desktop-app.md, Phase 0
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
The control-room SPA was embedded in the `oikos` binary (`go:embed`,
|
|
ADR 0001) and served at `/ui/*`. `combinedAuth` (`internal/httpapi/server.go`)
|
|
opened a dev-open bypass — no credential required at all — whenever
|
|
`OIKOS_ENV=dev` and no static token/OIDC issuer was configured. That was
|
|
true not just in local dev but in the actual mac-mini production deploy:
|
|
`docker-compose.yml`'s `api` service hardcoded `OIKOS_ENV: dev` with no
|
|
token set, so every route (`/api/v1/*`, `/mcp`, and an `/agent` reverse-proxy
|
|
mount to nomos that had never been wrapped in `combinedAuth` at all) was
|
|
reachable unauthenticated from anywhere on the mesh/LAN. A planned Wails
|
|
desktop client and any future non-browser client can't rely on same-origin
|
|
requests or a dev-open bypass; they need the SPA to be a standalone,
|
|
CORS-capable client that authenticates over HTTP like any other caller.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
- Delete the SPA embed (`web/embed.go`, the `/ui/*` routes). `web/` is a
|
|
standalone static build, deployed separately (`make ui` / `make
|
|
deploy-ui`), served at `/` by Caddy with SPA fallback.
|
|
- Remove the dev-open bypass entirely. Every route requires a valid
|
|
static bearer token (`OIKOS_API_TOKEN` / `OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN`) or an
|
|
OIDC JWT, with two narrow exceptions: `/healthz` (liveness) and
|
|
`POST /api/v1/clients/enroll` (IP-gated in the handler instead).
|
|
`GET /api/v1/events/stream` additionally accepts the token as a
|
|
`?token=` query param, since `EventSource` can't set custom headers.
|
|
- Add CORS (`github.com/go-chi/cors`, `OIKOS_CORS_ORIGIN`, default `*`) so a
|
|
cross-origin SPA (Vite dev server, a future Wails webview) can reach the
|
|
API. No `AllowCredentials` — auth is a header, not a cookie, so
|
|
credentialed CORS mode isn't needed and the two don't combine safely with
|
|
a wildcard origin.
|
|
- Wrap the previously-unauthenticated `/agent` proxy mount in the same
|
|
`combinedAuth` middleware as every other route.
|
|
- `cmd/nomos` becomes an authenticated client of `api`: it now sends
|
|
`Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN` on its own outbound calls
|
|
(MCP + the chat-assent approval-decision endpoint), which it never did
|
|
before — dev-open covered for it until now.
|
|
- The SPA gets a runtime config module (`web/src/lib/config.ts`) and a
|
|
first-launch `Config.svelte` screen: server URL + token, stored in
|
|
`localStorage`, injected into every `fetch()` via a shared
|
|
`fetchWithAuth` wrapper. Resolved fresh per request (not cached at
|
|
module-load time), so the same build works same-origin or cross-origin
|
|
without a rebuild.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
- Closing dev-open was a live security fix, not just future-proofing —
|
|
verified post-deploy that unauthenticated requests to production now 401.
|
|
- Nomos's *own* HTTP gateway (`cmd/nomos`, port 8092) still has no auth of
|
|
its own — out of scope here, tracked separately
|
|
(plans/2026-07-11-nomos-agent-code-review.md, finding C1).
|
|
- Production Caddy (`dtoro/caddy-conf`, not this repo) does not yet expose
|
|
`oikos.hubris.network` at all, so the interaction between Authentik
|
|
forward-auth and bearer-token clients (a non-browser client can't
|
|
complete a browser SSO redirect) is unresolved — needs an `@enroll`-style
|
|
bypass for `/api/v1/*`/`/mcp`/`/agent/*` before public exposure. This
|
|
repo's `compose/caddy/Caddyfile.oikos` (a reference copy, not deployed
|
|
from here) has the bypass; the real config does not yet.
|
|
- There is one shared bearer secret for all agents/clients, not per-client
|
|
tokens — acceptable for the current fleet size, revisit if per-client
|
|
revocation becomes necessary.
