AUTH_TEST_PLAN test 7.5.8 expects junk cookies to be rejected with
401. The previous middleware behaviour was "presence-only": check
that some access_token cookie exists, then pass through. In
combination with my Task-12 decision to skip @require_auth
decorators on routes, this created a gap where a request with any
cookie-shaped string (e.g. access_token=not-a-jwt) would bypass
authentication on routes that do not touch the repository
(/api/models, /api/mcp/config, /api/memory, /api/skills, …).
Fix: middleware now calls get_current_user_from_request() strictly
and catches the resulting HTTPException to render a 401 with the
proper fine-grained error code (token_invalid, token_expired,
user_not_found, …). On success it stamps request.state.user and
the contextvar so repository-layer owner filters work downstream.
The 4 old "_with_cookie_passes" tests in test_auth_middleware.py
were written for the presence-only behaviour; they asserted that
a junk cookie would make the handler return 200. They are renamed
to "_with_junk_cookie_rejected" and their assertions flipped to
401. The negative path (no cookie → 401 not_authenticated)
is unchanged.
Verified:
no cookie → 401 not_authenticated
junk cookie → 401 token_invalid (the fixed bug)
expired cookie → 401 token_expired
Tests: 284 passed (auth + persistence + isolation)
Lint: clean
Add request-scoped contextvar-based owner filtering to threads_meta,
runs, run_events, and feedback repositories. Router code is unchanged
— isolation is enforced at the storage layer so that any caller that
forgets to pass owner_id still gets filtered results, and new routes
cannot accidentally leak data.
Core infrastructure
-------------------
- deerflow/runtime/user_context.py (new):
- ContextVar[CurrentUser | None] with default None
- runtime_checkable CurrentUser Protocol (structural subtype with .id)
- set/reset/get/require helpers
- AUTO sentinel + resolve_owner_id(value, method_name) for sentinel
three-state resolution: AUTO reads contextvar, explicit str
overrides, explicit None bypasses the filter (for migration/CLI)
Repository changes
------------------
- ThreadMetaRepository: create/get/search/update_*/delete gain
owner_id=AUTO kwarg; read paths filter by owner, writes stamp it,
mutations check ownership before applying
- RunRepository: put/get/list_by_thread/delete gain owner_id=AUTO kwarg
- FeedbackRepository: create/get/list_by_run/list_by_thread/delete
gain owner_id=AUTO kwarg
- DbRunEventStore: list_messages/list_events/list_messages_by_run/
count_messages/delete_by_thread/delete_by_run gain owner_id=AUTO
kwarg. Write paths (put/put_batch) read contextvar softly: when a
request-scoped user is available, owner_id is stamped; background
worker writes without a user context pass None which is valid
(orphan row to be bound by migration)
Schema
------
- persistence/models/run_event.py: RunEventRow.owner_id = Mapped[
str | None] = mapped_column(String(64), nullable=True, index=True)
- No alembic migration needed: 2.0 ships fresh, Base.metadata.create_all
picks up the new column automatically
Middleware
----------
- auth_middleware.py: after cookie check, call get_optional_user_from_
request to load the real User, stamp it into request.state.user AND
the contextvar via set_current_user, reset in a try/finally. Public
paths and unauthenticated requests continue without contextvar, and
@require_auth handles the strict 401 path
Test infrastructure
-------------------
- tests/conftest.py: @pytest.fixture(autouse=True) _auto_user_context
sets a default SimpleNamespace(id="test-user-autouse") on every test
unless marked @pytest.mark.no_auto_user. Keeps existing 20+
persistence tests passing without modification
- pyproject.toml [tool.pytest.ini_options]: register no_auto_user
marker so pytest does not emit warnings for opt-out tests
- tests/test_user_context.py: 6 tests covering three-state semantics,
Protocol duck typing, and require/optional APIs
- tests/test_thread_meta_repo.py: one test updated to pass owner_id=
None explicitly where it was previously relying on the old default
Test results
------------
- test_user_context.py: 6 passed
- test_auth*.py + test_langgraph_auth.py + test_ensure_admin.py: 127
- test_run_event_store / test_run_repository / test_thread_meta_repo
/ test_feedback: 92 passed
- Full backend suite: 1905 passed, 2 failed (both @requires_llm flaky
integration tests unrelated to auth), 1 skipped
