Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1a58

This PR gates session and automation controls by permissions and redacts sandbox access for unauthorized users. A bounded risk remains that permission revocation during an open session may not clear browser-held sandbox URLs immediately, and authorized users may briefly see a denied state while permissions load; the change is otherwise mergeable with explicit follow-up.

The UI gate does not keep sandbox location data out of the browser. useSandboxAccess is disabled here, but the server-rendered initial snapshot still contains codeServerUrl, vncUrl, ttydUrl, tunnelUrls, and sandboxDashboardUrl, and that full snapshot is serialized into SessionSnapshotProvider. A user with sessions.read but without sessions.sandbox_access can therefore recover at least the tunnel/runtime URLs from the RSC payload or React state and navigate to them directly. Please redact sandbox-only fields before the snapshot crosses the user-facing authorization boundary (or return a permission-scoped snapshot), rather than relying on render-time hiding.

Fixed in a1a585836. User-facing HTTP snapshots and subscribed WebSocket snapshots now redact code-server, VNC, terminal, tunnel, and provider-dashboard locations without sessions.sandbox_access. Live sandbox access changes now trigger a refresh through the protected sandbox-access endpoint instead of broadcasting URLs.

Diff retry is authorized by sessions.lifecycle on POST /sessions/:id/diff/retry, not by sessions.collaborate. As wired here (and in the other layout branches), collaborators without lifecycle see a Retry action that always receives 403, while lifecycle-only users have an authorized action hidden. Please pass canManageLifecycle for every canRetryDiff/canRetry occurrence and add coverage for split permissions.

This exposes stopExecution to anyone with sessions.collaborate, but stopping is defined and enforced as a sessions.lifecycle operation by the HTTP /sessions/:id/stop route. The WebSocket is admitted using only sessions.collaborate, and its stop message handler has no lifecycle check, so a custom collaborate-without-lifecycle role can terminate the current execution. Please gate the button with canManageLifecycle and, importantly, enforce lifecycle authorization for the WebSocket command server-side so a crafted message cannot bypass the UI.

Fixed in a1a585836. Stop controls require lifecycle permission, and the WebSocket router samples sessions.lifecycle before dispatching stop or cancel_prompt, preventing crafted messages from bypassing the UI. Authorization is sampled once before dispatch, so an already-started request retains the permissions it began with.

Disabling the transport also disables all live state and history pagination for read-only users. The snapshot replay is capped at 500 events, while loadOlderEvents sends fetch_history over this now-disabled socket, so a Viewer sees a permanently stale active session and cannot inspect history before the initial window. Please preserve a read-only update/history path, for example with a read-authorized socket mode that rejects mutation messages, or REST polling plus the existing read-authorized events endpoint.

Summary

PR: #1673, feat: gate session and automation UI by permission
Author: @ColeMurray
Diff: 58 files, +3,493 / -372

This adds broad permission-aware gating for session and automation UI, with good ownership helpers and focused component coverage. The session path still has two authorization-boundary defects and two permission/behavior mismatches that need correction before merge; inline comments contain reproduction details.

Critical Issues

  • [Security / Authorization] packages/web/src/app/(app)/(sidebar)/session/[id]/page.tsx:105 - Hiding sandbox controls and disabling the credential fetch does not redact sandbox runtime and tunnel URLs already serialized in the initial session snapshot for read-only users.
  • [Authorization] packages/web/src/app/(app)/(sidebar)/session/[id]/page.tsx:389 - The collaboration-gated composer exposes a WebSocket stop command, but stop is a lifecycle operation and the WebSocket handler performs no lifecycle authorization.
  • [Correctness] packages/web/src/app/(app)/(sidebar)/session/[id]/page.tsx:104 - Disabling the socket for read-only users also removes live updates and the only history-pagination mechanism, leaving Viewer sessions stale and capped at the initial 500 events.
  • [Correctness] packages/web/src/app/(app)/(sidebar)/session/[id]/page.tsx:480 - Diff retry is gated by collaboration even though the endpoint requires lifecycle permission, producing both false-positive controls and false-negative hiding for split custom roles.

Suggestions

No additional non-blocking suggestions beyond the inline fixes and split-permission regression tests.

Nitpicks

None.

Positive Feedback

  • Automation own-vs-any checks consistently use canonical userId ownership rather than provenance fields.
  • Creation, lifecycle, sandbox, and automation controls are generally gated close to their rendering and guarded again in callbacks where appropriate.
  • The PR adds useful denied/read-only tests across desktop, mobile, deep-link, and empty-state paths, plus substantial RBAC documentation.

Questions

None.

Verdict

Request Changes - The WebSocket stop bypass and sandbox URL disclosure are authorization boundary issues; the read-only transport and diff retry capability mismatches also need correction.

This needs restructuring before merge. The session implementation treats the WebSocket itself as the collaborate capability, but that transport simultaneously owns read synchronization, history pagination, and lifecycle commands. That makes Viewer sessions stale/incomplete while also mapping lifecycle controls to the wrong permission. The capability plumbing then compounds the problem with optional, privileged defaults across the component tree.

Automation ownership is also reimplemented in the web package instead of sharing the canonical scoped-access decision, and four internal design/research documents are moved into Next.js public/ even though .gitignore explicitly defines docs/internal/ as local-only.

The code-judo move is to separate session read transport from command authorization, model one required session capability contract at the page boundary, and reuse one shared scoped-ownership predicate for automation policy. Focused web tests pass after building @open-inspect/shared; these permission combinations and live capability transitions are not covered. No changed production file crosses the 1,000-line threshold.

[deep review] This conflates transport access with collaboration. A Viewer has sessions.read but not sessions.collaborate, so this disables the only source of live events and the socket-only loadOlderEvents; long sessions stop at the initial snapshot and all subsequent state becomes stale. The same socket also accepts stop and cancel_prompt, which are lifecycle operations, so collaboration is simultaneously too narrow for reads and too broad for commands. The code-judo move is to authorize read synchronization with sessions.read and enforce mutation command families independently, either through their lifecycle-authorized HTTP routes or per-command WebSocket authorization. Please fix the boundary rather than treating the whole transport as one collaborate boolean.

Fixed in a1a585836. The transport is now read-authorized, while prompt/typing require collaboration and stop/cancel require lifecycle permission server-side. Viewers retain live updates and history pagination without gaining mutation access.

[deep review] This is the wrong capability: POST /sessions/:id/diff/retry requires sessions.lifecycle, but all four retry render paths receive canCollaborate. A collaborate-only custom role sees an action that will 403, while a lifecycle-only role loses an action it is authorized to use. Derive canRetryDiff once from lifecycle and pass that capability consistently. Please audit the same distinction for queued-prompt cancellation and the Stop button, which are currently exposed by the collaborate-gated composer even though the documented permission catalog classifies stop/cancel as lifecycle operations.

[deep review] Security-relevant capabilities must not default to privileged access. This default, plus optional can* = true props in SessionHeader, ActionBar, SessionRightSidebar, DiffRetryNotice, QueuedPromptStack, and related components, means an omitted prop silently restores controls or opens transport/sandbox access. The scattered booleans also made the lifecycle/collaboration mismatch above easy to introduce. Define one required typed SessionCapabilities value at the session boundary and pass/consume that model without permissive defaults so omissions fail at compile time.

[deep review] The new enabled transition does not cleanly reset transport state. On true -> false, cleanup sets wsRef.current = null before closing; handleSocketClose then rejects the close via its socket-identity guard, so onClose, setConnected(false), and setConnecting(false) never run. The session reducer can retain ready/presence state and later appear ready before a replacement subscription completes. Make disable an explicit transition that invalidates connects/retries, closes the socket, notifies the protocol layer, and resets transport state. Add a true -> false -> true test; the current test only covers initially disabled transport.

[deep review] This creates a second implementation of the control plane's scoped ownership decision, and its type contract is broader than its semantics: it accepts every ScopedPermissionStem while always interpreting ownership through Automation.userId. A future scoped capability for another resource would type-check here against the wrong ownership model. Move a resource-neutral predicate such as (stem, permissions, isOwner) into @open-inspect/shared/rbac and reuse it in both router admission and presentation, or return per-row capabilities from the API. Ownership policy should have one canonical implementation.

[deep review] This bypasses the repository's explicit docs/internal/ local-only policy by putting internal design history under Next.js public/, which makes all four added research/design documents deployable static assets. Two are research snapshots and one is explicitly superseded; together they add 1,801 lines unrelated to the runtime UI change and create a second documentation home. Remove public/docs/internal/* from this PR.

Define the enabled default as a named constant.

Replace the literal true default with a named constant such as DEFAULT_SANDBOX_ACCESS_ENABLED. This keeps the default value reusable and discoverable.

As per coding guidelines: “Define each TypeScript default value exactly once as a named constant and import it wherever needed.”

Centralize sandbox-access redaction

Both files duplicate the "sessions.sandbox_access" permission check and redaction call. Use one shared helper to prevent the checks from drifting.

Define the default permissions as a named constant.

The createCtx parameter uses an inline ["sessions.read"] default. Define this array once as a named constant and use the constant here.

As per coding guidelines: “Define each TypeScript default value exactly once as a named constant and import it wherever needed.”

Proposed fix
+const DEFAULT_TEST_PERMISSIONS: PermissionId[] = ["sessions.read"];
+
 function createCtx(
   db: SqlDatabase = {} as SqlDatabase,
-  permissions: PermissionId[] = ["sessions.read"]
+  permissions: PermissionId[] = [...DEFAULT_TEST_PERMISSIONS]
): RequestContext {

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for authorization before showing the denied state.

hasPermission returns false while the authorization request is loading. This renders “You don't have permission to create sessions.” and hides the form for authorized users during a cold permission fetch. Pass loading into HomeContent and render a neutral loading state until authorization resolves.
