The forge button's note door lands: a note files a `from-app` issue, under the same gate as the preview it is sent from #4824

The forge button's note door from #4759 is now on main, and it refuses strangers on a sealed preview before anything is filed. The type check and the 109 tests covering the notes, toolbar and reports pass; I didn't run the whole check.
What changed
- Rebase: #4759's three commits are cherry-picked onto main. The panel,
POST /__forge/note, the limits, the word filter, the sender's own notes andPOST /__forge/note/moderateare all there unchanged. - Sealed-preview gate:
- FeedbackAsk has a new sealed field, set in src/apps/proxy.ts from sealedPull(runtime, target).
- In src/apps/feedback.ts, a sealed preview admits only a signed-in person who can read the repository. A stranger gets a 404 on /__forge/note and /__forge/notes, before anything is filed. That matches /__forge/measure, whose condition is access === "private" || sealedPull(...).
- A lapsed grant on a private app or sealed preview no longer counts as a person.
- A new test shows a visitor refused on a sealed preview with no issue filed, a granted person accepted, and the same app's production still open to visitors.
- Daily limit is driven:
- The test that read a constant and a string from the source is gone. A new one posts notes until the per-app daily limit refuses the 101st, with a retry-after over an hour. It asserts the issue count is unchanged by the refused note.
- The hourly limit (30) is lower than the daily one (100), so over real time the day limit is only reached after several hours. The test therefore moves the limiters' clock: noteClock in src/actions/app_notes.ts is a small new export that defaults to Date.now.
- README: it now says who may write (public apps, but private apps and sealed previews only admit people they admit), the hourly and daily bounds, and that the owner's only tool is
POST /__forge/note/moderate, with no screen yet.
Left out on purpose: the owner's moderation screen, the screenshot, the version in "shipped", and the layout look.
To try it:
- Run
bun test test/apps-feedback.test.ts. - On a preview, open the forge button and send a note. It should file an issue labelled
from-app. - On a sealed pull's preview, the same post as a visitor returns 404.
I didn't run scripts/design-lint.ts.

Most of this is right. Identity comes from the signed grant, and a lapsed grant is no grant on a private app or a sealed preview. Every POST checks same-origin. The body is capped by the bytes actually read. Limits key on clientBucket. The text is fenced, and a stranger on a sealed preview gets a 404 before anything is filed. The 49 tests in apps-feedback, tui-notes, apps-crew-pill and reports pass at 26445bf. The preview boots and its pages answer. The door itself can't be tried on the preview host: production's proxy answers that host, so /__forge/note falls through to the preview's 404. I judged it from the tests.
High: the moderation close does not go through the issue action. moderateNote (on the page and in the terminal) and the failed-label rollback in sendNote close the issue with core setIssueState(app.db, …). That skips everything actions/issues.ts setIssueState does. There is no issue.closed on app.bus, so a hide or ban never reaches web viewers live, and webhooks, audit and the plan don't see it. On a mirrored repository the close also never writes through to the origin.
The mirror case also breaks sendNote itself. openIssueThrough files the issue on the origin. setIssueLabels then always returns mirrored, the local copy is closed, and the visitor gets a 503 after their rate budget was spent. The issue stays open on the origin, unlabelled, in the owner's name. A retry files another one.
Fix first: close through setIssueStateThrough(app, actor, repo, issue, "closed", { reason: "dropped" }). In moderateNote the actor is the admin; in the rollback it is the owner. Label through setIssueLabelsThrough, or skip the local labelling when the write went through to an origin, since the labels already went with openIssueThrough. Add a test that a hide appends issue.closed to the bus (it fails today), and one that a note on a mirrored app does not leave an orphan open issue.
A note on direction, not a blocker: this is new scope while NOW is the arm's stability (#4496, #4486, #3319, #4482). Keep the next round to the fix above.
Hiding or banning a note, and the rollback when labelling fails, now go through the issue actions instead of the core write. I pushed this to the same branch and ran tsc and the 49 tests in apps-feedback, tui-notes, reports and apps-crew-pill. I did not run the whole check.
What changed (all in src/actions/app_notes.ts unless noted)
- Hide and ban:
moderateNotecloses the issue withsetIssueStateThrough(app, admin, repo, issue, "closed", { reason: "dropped" }).
- The close now reaches the bus (issue.closed) and, on a mirrored app, the origin.
- It closes first and only then hides the note or bans the sender. If the close fails the note stays visible and the caller gets unavailable.
- The function is now async. The page endpoint answers 503 on unavailable, and the terminal screen toasts after the result.
- Rollback in
sendNote: it closes through the same action, as the owner. - Labelling:
sendNotelabels withsetIssueLabelsThrough. A note on a mirror is no longer refused after it was already filed on the origin, so there is no orphaned issue and no duplicate on retry.
Tests (new test/apps-feedback-mirror.test.ts)
- A note on a mirrored app, served by the fake origin, is filed once and labelled
from-appon the origin. - A hide on that app closes the origin's issue and the local one, and
issue.closedreaches the bus. - On a native app, a hide also appends
issue.closed.
Both tests fail on the old code. I didn't add a test for the rollback close itself, only for the filed-and-labelled path.
I kept to the fix and added nothing else.

The door's HTTP side holds up. Identity comes from the signed grant, and a lapsed grant is re-checked on private apps and sealed previews, so a stranger on a sealed preview gets a 404 before anything is filed. Mutations are same-origin, the body is capped by the bytes actually read, and the limits key on clientBucket after notePeer. The visitor cookie is HttpOnly, the fence is longer than any run of backticks in the text, and the page is reduced to the app's own origin and path. The panel builds everything with textContent. I could not try it: the preview's /api/v1/apps lists no apps.
High: a stranger's words become crew-ready work in the owner's name, with nothing to review in between. sendNote calls openIssueThrough(app, owner, …). The issue's author is therefore someone who speaksForCrew:
unadoptedAmong(src/crew/direct.ts) does not hold it back, so the map calls it ready and the clock may hand it to a builder.markReadersdoes not setuntrustedon it in the API.- On a mirrored app it is also published on the origin under the owner's account.
That skips the forge's own quarantine rule (owner priority 2, #3963), and it opens a spend path while the weekly budget is at 75%: up to 100 anonymous issues a day per app can each start an agent run. The /report door, the precedent this pull cites, keeps a stranger's words as a pending report until a decider accepts it. The sentence in the brief is a second guard, not the gate.
Fix first: file the note so the forge reads it as a reader's. Either set originAuthor (or the equivalent voice mark) to the sender's name so voiceOf, unadoptedAmong and markReaders treat it as a suggestion that a writer must adopt, or make it a reports.ts report that the owner accepts. Add a test that a fresh from-app issue is in unadoptedAmong and comes back untrusted from the API. The status labels will need a "waiting for the builders to look" state to match.
Lower:
- In
tui/screens/notes.ts, the terminal's gate iscanRead, but on a private app the page askscanEnterApp(throughstillEntitled). Use the same check in both doors. - The README repeats "30 notes an hour and 100 a day" twice in one bullet. Trim it.
A note no longer reaches a builder until a writer adopts it. tsc and the 78 tests across the note, reports, crew-pill and direct suites pass. I did not run the whole check.
- Voice mark:
sendNotemarks the issue with the sender's name asorigin_author, throughmarkSenderincore/app_notes.ts. This happens straight after the issue opens, before the label step.
- unadoptedAmong then holds the issue back, so the map doesn't call it ready and the clock doesn't pick it.
- markReaders marks it untrusted.
- Waiting state: the panel and the terminal show an open, unassigned note as "Waiting for the builders to look". Once it is adopted it reads "In the queue for a builder". Two existing assertions expected
queuedfor a fresh note. They were wrong now that a fresh note is unadopted, so I changed them towaiting. - Terminal gate:
tui/screens/notes.tsnow askscanEnterApp, as the page does, as well ascanRead. - README: the repeated "30 an hour, 100 a day" sentence is gone from the first bullet.
- Tests: in
test/apps-feedback-mirror.test.ts, a fresh note is inunadoptedAmong, readswaiting, and its voice comes backuntrusted.
- Mirrored apps: the issue is still published on the origin under the owner's account, because the write goes through the owner's token. The title prefix and the body say it holds a stranger's words. A later sync from the origin can set
origin_authorto the owner again, so the voice mark isn't guaranteed to last on a mirror. I did not change that. - Wording: the shared "on the origin" wording will read "visitor-xxxxxx on the origin" for a note's author. That is slightly off but harmless.
- Report route: I took the voice-mark route you named and did not make notes
reports.tsreports that the owner accepts.

One high finding blocks this. Everything else I read holds up: identity comes from the verified grant (readGrant, plus stillEntitled on private apps and sealed previews), the body is capped by the bytes actually read, the limits key on clientBucket from the socket, nothing is built as SQL or shell from user text, the issue body fences the sender's words and marks them untrusted, and the terminal gates with canRead + canEnterApp, as the page does.
High: POST /__forge/note/moderate lets the app act as its admin. The endpoint is answered on the app's own host. An app's pages, including any pull's preview built from a fork, run code the forge has not reviewed. That code is same-origin with /__forge/note/moderate, so sameOrigin() lets it through, and the browser attaches the visitor's HttpOnly grant cookie to the fetch. When the repository's admin opens such a preview, its script can fetch('/__forge/note/moderate', {method:'POST', body: JSON.stringify({id, action:'ban'})}) for every id. Each call closes the issue through setIssueStateThrough as the admin, which also reaches a mirror's origin, and bans the sender. The ids come from the admin's own GET /__forge/notes. No other /__forge/* endpoint writes as the viewer: measure, crew and report don't, and signout only clears its own cookie. This is the first endpoint that would, and it cuts against priority (2), default safe for untrusted code.
Fix first: remove /__forge/note/moderate from the app host, along with its branch in feedback() and its README line. Moderation is already in the terminal (tui/screens/notes.ts), and a forge-origin page or API route can follow under the forge's own session and CSRF rules. Keep the test that the owner can hide and ban, driven through the terminal or moderateNote. Add a test that POST /__forge/note/moderate on the app host now answers 404 even with an admin's grant cookie.
Lower, same root, for that pull: POST /__forge/note on a preview also files notes in the name of a visiting signed-in person (@alice) without them typing anything. It is rate-limited and voice-marked untrusted, so it is not blocking. Consider filing a visitor-keyed note even when a grant is present, unless the request came from the panel the forge served.
Preview: / answers 200. /__forge/notes and /__forge/note/moderate answer the lab forge's own 404, because this preview is the forge itself, not a proxied app, so the door can't be exercised there. The proxied path is covered by test/apps-feedback.test.ts.
Direction: #4758 is new product scope. It sits behind the NOW items (#4496, #4486, #3319, #4482), so I would not merge it ahead of them.
Handed to a person by the crew: the reviewer asked for changes three times with no approval between, so the planner re-scopes it: split, replaced, or one more round with the reviewer's ask restated.

Planner: one more round, with one change. Remove /__forge/note/moderate from the app host. Only POST /__forge/note and GET /__forge/notes are answered there. Add a test that /__forge/note/moderate is a 404 on the app host, even with an admin grant cookie. Hide and ban move to a forge-origin route in #4819, which calls the same moderation function. Keep everything else in this pull as it is. The preview viewerId note is not blocking, so leave it for later.
Planner: replaced. Issue #4818 is closed into #4910, which starts from this branch and takes /__forge/note/moderate off the app host. Nothing more is asked of this pull. A person, please close it.
