Fail closed on a missing HMAC secret instead of caching a hardcoded global fallback.
If SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY is unset, every process silently falls back to the same built-in value, and a single misconfigured replica will compute different API key hashes than the rest. Please inject this secret through IdentityServiceParams and make NewIdentityService return an error when it is missing, rather than storing it in a package-global.
As per coding guidelines, **/*.go: Do not use global variables (e.g., var DB *sql.DB) and Use constructor injection for dependencies instead of global initialization.

Keep a compatibility path for existing API keys before switching the hash format.
This changes the persisted key_hash value, but internal/repositories/postgres/identity_repo.go:37-44 still validates with a single WHERE key_hash = $1 lookup. That means every API key created with the previous SHA-256 scheme stops authenticating after deploy unless you backfill or do a dual-read in ValidateAPIKey().

Client.Insecure can drift from actual runtime behavior.
NewClientWithKey chooses callback from global mode but does not set Client.Insecure, and Run/WriteFile never read this field. The field can mislead callers about whether verification is disabled.

Eliminate unsynchronized global variable; use dependency injection instead.
Line 36 reads insecureSSH while line 86 writes it without synchronization, creating a race condition that can nondeterministically flip host-key verification behavior. However, the coding guidelines explicitly prohibit global variables. The proper fix is to remove the global variable entirely and pass the insecure mode setting via dependency injection (e.g., as a field in a client struct or configuration object) rather than synchronizing access with atomics.
🔧 Proposed fix (dependency injection)
Instead of:
var insecureSSH = false
func NewClientWithKey(...) {
if insecureSSH {
hostKeyCallback = ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey()
} else {
hostKeyCallback = rejectHostKeyCallback
}
}
func SetInsecureMode(insecure bool) {
insecureSSH = insecure

type ClientConfig struct {
InsecureSSH bool

func NewClientWithKey(config ClientConfig, ...) {
if config.InsecureSSH {
hostKeyCallback = ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey()

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Avoid process-global insecure mode; inject security policy per client.
A package-global toggle affects unrelated requests/tests and makes SSH security policy non-local. Prefer constructor options/per-client config over mutable global state.
As per coding guidelines, **/*.go: "Do not use global variables (e.g., var DB *sql.DB)".

time.After creates a timer goroutine that is only cleaned up when the channel fires. In retry loops, if the operation succeeds on an early iteration, previously-created timers leak indefinitely. Fixed 4 locations: - DockerAdapter.GetInstancePort: 30 x 500ms retries - DockerAdapter.GetInstanceIP: 30 x 500ms retries (goto retry path) - KubeadmProvisioner.waitForKubeconfig: unbounded x 10s retries - FunctionScheduleWorker.ProcessSchedules: 3 x (1s/2s/3s) backoff retries Fixes #328
- Validate Content-Length header against 10GB max before streaming - Validate Content-Type header against allowlist (image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif, application/x-iso9660-image, application/octet-stream) - Validate magic bytes for qcow2 and iso formats before committing - Use LimitReader to enforce max size during streaming write - Update tests to provide valid magic bytes and content-type headers SSRF issue: compromised image URL could exhaust storage or serve malicious content without these validations.
- ImportImage_ExceedsMaxSize: rejects Content-Length > 10GB - ImportImage_InvalidContentType: rejects text/html Content-Type - ImportImage_WrongMagicBytes: rejects JPEG magic for .qcow2 URL
Linter (gocritic appendAssign) flags: testData := append(qcow2Magic, ...) Fix: use make + copy instead of append to same variable.
Added import security validations section explaining: - Scheme restriction (http/https only) - Size limit (10 GB via Content-Length + LimitReader) - Content-Type allowlist - Magic byte validation for qcow2/iso formats - Format-to-content consistency check Updated error handling table with new failure scenarios.

Verifies that when runInvocation fails in the async goroutine, error is logged with function_id, invocation_id, and error message.
- Use time.Sleep instead of require.Eventually to avoid test timing issues - Test relies on time.Sleep(200ms) which is non-deterministic but sufficient for local dev; CI race detection will catch real races
