| PostgreSQL + MinIO |
Multi-user quotas and horizontal scaling require shared, consistent state |
| HKDF per-user key derivation |
Single Fernet key would be catastrophic on leak — must be derived before first credential is stored |
| Presigned MinIO URL flow |
FastAPI handles metadata only; bytes never pass through the API layer |
| Atomic PostgreSQL quota UPDATE |
Never perform quota arithmetic in Python between two DB statements |
| JWT in httpOnly cookie |
Refresh token in httpOnly cookie; access token in Pinia memory only — never localStorage |
| Refresh token family revocation |
RFC 9700 — reuse of a rotated token revokes entire family and alerts user |
| BackgroundTasks replacement |
FastAPI BackgroundTasks is per-instance; replace with Celery+Redis or pgqueuer before horizontal scale |
| AuditLog metadata_ ORM attribute |
metadata is reserved on DeclarativeBase; ORM attribute is metadata_ with name="metadata" kwarg to avoid silent collision |
| documents.user_id nullable Phase 1 |
D-03 — no auth in Phase 1; Phase 2 migration adds NOT NULL after auth lands |
| groups stub table Phase 1 |
D-02 — groups is a v2 feature; table created now for schema completeness, no rows until Phase 2+ |
| SEQUENCES grants in migration |
GRANT USAGE/SELECT on sequences required for audit_log.id autoincrement nextval() by docuvault_app |
| Admin impersonation excluded |
Explicit architectural exclusion — no endpoint or UI pathway; violates privacy-first core value |
| user_id as refresh token family proxy |
No separate family_id column; user_id serves as family per RFC 9700 — simpler schema |
| pwdlib over passlib |
pwdlib actively maintained with clean Argon2Hasher API; passlib unmaintained |
| TOTP replay TTL=90s |
valid_window=1 covers ±30s (90s total) — TTL matches window |
| HIBP fail-open |
Network errors return False + log warning; auth never blocked by external service |
| Two-DSN PostgreSQL strategy |
DATABASE_URL (docuvault_app, DML only) + DATABASE_MIGRATE_URL (docuvault_migrate, DDL only); celery-worker gets only DATABASE_URL |
| MinIO healthcheck via mc ready local |
curl removed from MinIO Docker image since Oct 2023; mc is the correct in-container healthcheck tool |
| pydantic-settings v2 SettingsConfigDict |
SettingsConfigDict API used (not deprecated class Config form) for env var config |
| async_client fixture name |
Distinct from legacy sync client fixture to avoid collision; both coexist until Plan 05 |
| xfail(strict=False) for Wave 0 |
All pre-implementation scaffolds use strict=False so unexpected passes don't break CI |
| StorageBackend ABC + factory mirrors ai/ pattern |
5 abstract methods; get_storage_backend() factory; MinIOBackend wraps all sync Minio SDK calls in asyncio.to_thread() |
| STORE-02 key enforced in code |
MinIOBackend.put_object constructs {user_id}/{document_id}/{uuid4()}{ext}; no filename parameter — only extension passes through |
| null-user D-03 sentinel |
services/storage.save_upload uses user_id="null-user" in Phase 1 (no auth); Phase 2 replaces with str(current_user.id) |
| load_settings flat-file Phase 1 |
users.ai_provider/ai_model columns cannot be populated until Phase 2; settings remain flat-file JSON for Phase 1 |
| Deferred Celery import in /password-reset |
send_reset_email.delay called via from tasks.email_tasks import send_reset_email inside handler body — same circular-import fix as document_tasks |
| TOTP QR code as otpauth:// link |
No QR library installed; plan permits manual secret display for MVP; functional flow complete without rendered QR image |
| ConfirmBlock no acknowledgment checkbox |
ConfirmBlock handles message + button pair; BackupCodesDisplay owns its separate acknowledgment checkbox — no overlap |
| ADMIN-07 enforced by omission |
No impersonation endpoint exists; AST check + test_admin_impersonation_not_found verify absence; violates privacy-first core value |
| _user_to_dict() whitelist for admin responses |
Explicit field whitelist prevents accidental password_hash/credentials_enc leakage from admin endpoints |
| Quota warning is 200 not 4xx |
Below-usage limit change is applied; warning=True advisory field returned — not a rejection |
| AdminQuotasTab fetches quotas per-user via Promise.allSettled |
adminListUsers() does not include quota fields; per-user endpoint parallelized; failed quotas filtered silently |
| Temp password via crypto.getRandomValues |
Browser-native CSPRNG; no external library; always satisfies AUTH-01 strength rules |
| batch_alter_table for NOT NULL in migration 0003 |
SQLite requires batch_alter_table for ALTER COLUMN; transparent passthrough on PostgreSQL — enables SQLite CI test runs |
| MinIO step in migration 0003 gated on MINIO_ENDPOINT |
Migration skips MinIO deletions when env var absent; enables safe SQLite test runs per T-03-02 |
| raising=False for Phase 3 MinIO mock fixtures |
mock_minio_presigned + mock_minio_stat patch methods that don't exist until Plan 03-02; raising=False pre-installs them |
| Dual MinIO client (internal + public) |
Presigned URL HMAC signature must be computed with browser-visible hostname (localhost:9000); using internal Docker client (minio:9000) causes browser signature mismatch |
| Wave 2 user_id=None guard |
upload-url sets user_id=None + object_key "null-user/" prefix; confirm skips quota when user_id is None; Plan 03-03 removes both guards |
| SQLite quota xfail(strict=False) |
SQLite stores UUID as CHAR(32) without dashes; raw SQL WHERE user_id = :uid never matches str(uuid) dashed format — test-env limitation, not code defect |
| Celery mock required in /confirm tests |
extract_and_classify.delay() connects to Redis; monkeypatch blocks it in unit tests; MagicMock pattern established for all confirm endpoint tests |
| get_regular_user raises 403 for admin |
Admin is authenticated but must not access document content; 401 would falsely imply unauthenticated — 403 is correct for role rejection |
| Cross-user doc access returns 404 not 403 |
Combining "not found" and "wrong owner" into 404 prevents attacker from learning which doc IDs exist for other users (D-16, T-03-11) |
| CASE WHEN replaces GREATEST in quota decrement |
SQLite lacks GREATEST scalar function; CASE WHEN used_bytes > :delta THEN used_bytes - :delta ELSE 0 END is semantically equivalent and SQLite-compatible |
| load_topics_for_user uses or_(user_id == x, user_id.is_(None)) |
SQLAlchemy is_(None) not == None; or_() combines system topics and user's own topics for namespace-scoped query (D-17, DOC-04) |
| AI-suggested topics go in user namespace |
classifier passes user_id=doc.user_id to create_topic; AI-suggested topics are per-user not system-wide (D-11) |
| Celery task signature unchanged for ai_provider |
Task receives only document_id; ai_provider/ai_model resolved inside _run via session.get(User, doc.user_id) — prevents broker injection (T-03-19) |
| _DEFAULT_SYSTEM_PROMPT in classifier.py |
System prompt env var is optional; hardcoded fallback kept in classifier module not config.py (D-13) |
| Default AI provider is ollama/llama3.2 |
Code defaults; overridable via DEFAULT_AI_PROVIDER / DEFAULT_AI_MODEL env vars (D-15) |
| /settings route kept as static placeholder |
SettingsView shows admin-managed card; route not removed to avoid UX regression (Risk 6) |
| Plain anchor in quota rejection block |
used instead of to avoid import dependency in upload component |
| uploadProgress entries owned by parent |
Store does not clear uploadProgress map entries after upload; DropZone/parent clears on row dismiss |
| fetchQuota silent catch in auth store |
Silent catch keeps last-known values; QuotaBar owns loadFailed state and hides on error (UI-SPEC) |
| XHR PUT progress range 5–90 |
5 + Math.round(pct * 0.85) maps XHR 0-100 → visual 5-90; remaining 10% covers confirm + enqueue |
