# Phase 5: Cloud Storage Backends Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Users can connect OneDrive, Google Drive, Nextcloud, or a generic WebDAV server as a personal storage backend; credentials are encrypted with a per-user HKDF-derived key; connection status is visible; local and cloud storage coexist; the StorageBackend ABC makes adding further backends straightforward.

**Status:** human_needed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Users can connect OneDrive, Google Drive, Nextcloud, or WebDAV | ✓ VERIFIED | `backend/api/cloud.py` has `POST /connections/webdav`, `GET /oauth/initiate/{provider}`, `GET /oauth/callback/{provider}` for all 4 providers; `SettingsCloudTab.vue` renders all 4 provider rows with connect buttons |
| 2 | Credentials encrypted with HKDF per-user key derivation | ✓ VERIFIED | `backend/storage/cloud_utils.py` implements `_derive_fernet_key()` with fresh HKDF instance per call, `encrypt_credentials()` and `decrypt_credentials()` using Fernet+HKDF-SHA256; `cloud.py` calls `encrypt_credentials(master_key, str(user_id), credentials)` before storing |
| 3 | Connection status is visible (ACTIVE / REQUIRES_REAUTH / ERROR) | ✓ VERIFIED | `SettingsCloudTab.vue` has `statusBadgeClasses()` and `statusBadgeLabel()` mapping all 3 statuses + `not_connected`; REQUIRES_REAUTH inline yellow banner present in template; `_call_cloud_op()` in `cloud.py` sets `conn.status = "REQUIRES_REAUTH"` on `invalid_grant` |
| 4 | Local MinIO and cloud backends coexist | ✓ VERIFIED | `storage/__init__.py` has both `get_storage_backend()` (MinIO) and `get_storage_backend_for_document()` (cloud-aware factory); `documents.py` routes upload by `target_backend` parameter; `User.default_storage_backend` field + `PATCH /api/users/me/default-storage` endpoint |
| 5 | Credentials permanently deleted on disconnect | ✓ VERIFIED | `DELETE /api/cloud/connections/{id}` in `cloud.py` calls `session.delete(conn)` + writes `cloud.disconnected` audit log; `admin.py` lines 522-546 contain `cloud_connection_factory` cleanup with `cloud.credentials_purged` audit event on account deletion (SEC-09) |
| 6 | StorageBackend ABC makes adding further backends straightforward | ✓ VERIFIED | `storage/base.py` defines `StorageBackend` ABC with 7 abstract methods; all 4 backends (`GoogleDriveBackend`, `OneDriveBackend`, `WebDAVBackend`, `NextcloudBackend`) subclass it and implement all 7 methods; `NextcloudBackend` subclasses `WebDAVBackend` demonstrating composability |
| 7 | SSRF prevention on WebDAV/Nextcloud user-supplied URLs | ✓ VERIFIED | `cloud_utils.py` `validate_cloud_url()` blocks RFC-1918 (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), loopback (127.0.0.0/8), link-local (169.254.0.0/16), IPv6 loopback (::1/128), ULA (fc00::/7), and explicit `localhost` string; called in `WebDAVBackend.__init__` AND before every async call |

**Score:** 7/7 truths verified

### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

| Artifact | Data Variable | Source | Produces Real Data | Status |
|----------|---------------|--------|--------------------|--------|
| `SettingsCloudTab.vue` | `store.connections` | `GET /api/cloud/connections` → DB query | Yes — `select(CloudConnection).where(user_id == ...)` in `list_connections` | ✓ FLOWING |
| `CloudStorageView.vue` | `connections` | `useCloudConnectionsStore().connections` | Yes — same store feeding SettingsCloudTab | ✓ FLOWING |
| `AppSidebar.vue` | `activeCloudConnections` | `cloudConnectionsStore.connections.filter(c => c.status === 'ACTIVE')` | Yes — filtered from fetched connections | ✓ FLOWING |
| `DocumentPreviewModal.vue` | `blobUrl` | `fetchDocumentContent(docId)` → `res.blob()` → `URL.createObjectURL(blob)` | Yes — authenticated fetch with Bearer token | ✓ FLOWING |

### Behavioral Spot-Checks

Step 7b: SKIPPED — requires running Docker stack (PostgreSQL, MinIO, Redis) to execute API endpoints. No standalone runnable entry points available for cloud-specific behaviors without live services.

### Probe Execution

No `probe-*.sh` scripts declared in any plan for Phase 5. SKIPPED.

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| CLOUD-01 | 05-01 through 05-10 | Connect OneDrive, Google Drive, Nextcloud, WebDAV | ✓ SATISFIED | All 4 backends implemented; OAuth + WebDAV connect endpoints present; SettingsCloudTab UI wired |
| CLOUD-02 | 05-02 | HKDF per-user key derivation for credential encryption | ✓ SATISFIED | `cloud_utils.py` implements full HKDF+Fernet round-trip; used in all connect/disconnect flows |
| CLOUD-03 | 05-06, 05-09 | Local and cloud storage coexist; user selects default | ✓ SATISFIED | `get_storage_backend_for_document()` factory; `target_backend` upload parameter; `PATCH /api/users/me/default-storage` |
| CLOUD-04 | 05-07, 05-10 | Connection status display: ACTIVE / REQUIRES_REAUTH / ERROR | ✓ SATISFIED | `statusBadgeClasses()` in SettingsCloudTab; REQUIRES_REAUTH banner; `_call_cloud_op()` sets DB status |
| CLOUD-05 | 05-05, 05-06 | invalid_grant transitions to REQUIRES_REAUTH; surfaced to user | ✓ SATISFIED | `_call_cloud_op()` in `cloud.py` catches `CloudConnectionError(reason="invalid_grant")`, sets `conn.status="REQUIRES_REAUTH"`, commits, raises HTTP 503 |
| CLOUD-06 | 05-05 | Disconnect cloud backend; credentials permanently deleted | ✓ SATISFIED | `DELETE /api/cloud/connections/{id}` calls `session.delete(conn)` + audit log; account deletion purges all connections |
| CLOUD-07 | 05-02, 05-03, 05-04 | StorageBackend ABC + factory in storage/ module | ✓ SATISFIED | `storage/base.py` defines ABC with 7 methods; 4 concrete implementations; `get_storage_backend_for_document()` factory |

All 7 CLOUD-* requirements are satisfied.

**Additional requirements addressed in Phase 5 plans (not in the required IDs list):**
- **SEC-09** (05-05, 05-11): Account deletion purges CloudConnection rows — implemented in `admin.py` lines 522-546
- **ADMIN-02** extension (05-11): Admin hard-delete with password confirmation — `UserDeleteConfirm` model + `verify_password` check in `admin.py`

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `backend/storage/webdav_backend.py` line 158 | `except Exception: pass` in `delete_object` | ℹ️ Info | Intentional per StorageBackend contract — "no-op if key does not exist"; acceptable |
| `backend/api/cloud.py` line 541 | Broad `except Exception as exc:` in `oauth_callback` redirects to frontend | ℹ️ Info | Intentional design — OAuth errors must redirect to frontend, not return HTTP error; error message URL-encoded |
| `backend/storage/nextcloud_backend.py` lines 114-125 | `except Exception:` in `list_folder` per-item info fallback | ℹ️ Info | Intentional resilience — partial listing preferred over full failure on one inaccessible item |

No `TBD`, `FIXME`, or `XXX` debt markers found in Phase 5 files. No unreferenced stubs. No hardcoded empty data flowing to rendered output.

### Human Verification Required

Phase 5 automated checks all pass. The following items require a running Docker stack and real cloud provider credentials for full UAT sign-off:

#### 1. Google Drive OAuth Full Flow

**Test:** With `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` and `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` configured, click "Connect Google Drive" in Settings → Cloud Storage tab.
**Expected:** Browser navigates to `accounts.google.com` OAuth consent screen; after approval, redirected back to `/settings?cloud_connected=google_drive`; success toast appears; Google Drive shows "Active" badge.
**Why human:** Requires real GCP app credentials and network access to Google APIs.

#### 2. OneDrive OAuth Full Flow

**Test:** With `ONEDRIVE_CLIENT_ID` and `ONEDRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET` configured, click "Connect OneDrive".
**Expected:** Browser navigates to `login.microsoftonline.com`; after approval, ACTIVE badge appears in Settings.
**Why human:** Requires real Azure App Registration credentials.

#### 3. Nextcloud/WebDAV Connection Round-Trip

**Test:** Click "Connect Nextcloud", enter a real Nextcloud server URL, username, and app password; submit.
**Expected:** Connection saves with ACTIVE status; provider node appears in sidebar; expanding tree shows folders.
**Why human:** Requires a live Nextcloud or WebDAV server.

#### 4. REQUIRES_REAUTH State Display

**Test:** Run `UPDATE cloud_connections SET status='REQUIRES_REAUTH' WHERE provider='google_drive'` against the DB; reload Settings.
**Expected:** Yellow "Reconnect needed" badge visible; yellow inline banner with "Reconnect Google Drive" button; provider hidden from sidebar (only ACTIVE shown).
**Why human:** Requires DB manipulation and visual verification of UI state transitions.

#### 5. Cloud Document Preview (Blob URL)

**Test:** Upload a PDF to a cloud backend (e.g., Nextcloud); open the document preview.
**Expected:** PDF renders in the iframe via Blob URL (no unauthenticated `src=` URLs; no 401 in browser console); `URL.revokeObjectURL` called on modal close.
**Why human:** Requires a cloud-stored document, live backend, and browser DevTools inspection.

#### 6. SSRF Rejection in WebDAV Modal

**Test:** Click "Connect WebDAV server"; enter `http://192.168.1.1/dav` as server URL; click "Connect WebDAV server".
**Expected:** Request returns 422 with "Invalid server URL" message; no connection stored.
**Why human:** Requires running Docker stack; verifies end-to-end 422 flow from modal to backend.

## Gaps Summary

No blocker gaps found. All 7 phase must-haves are verified in the codebase with substantive, wired implementations. The 6 human verification items above require a running environment with real cloud credentials — they are standard UAT items for cloud integration work, not gaps in implementation.

**Notable implementation quality observations:**
- `_call_cloud_op()` correctly handles the `token_expired` retry-once pattern with credential refresh and DB update before retry
- `oauth_initiate` correctly returns JSON `{url}` (not 302) since Plan 05-10, enabling authenticated fetch from the frontend
- `oauth_callback` intentionally uses no `get_regular_user` dep (callback is unauthenticated from provider) and uses Redis state token for user binding — correct design
- `list_connections` decrypts credentials for WebDAV/Nextcloud to surface `server_url` and `connection_username` to frontend (non-secret fields only — password never returned)
- celery-worker volume mount confirmed present in `docker-compose.yml` lines 92-93
