Audit pass with the threats that actually apply to a self-hosted, account-less
app: getting the Ollama key throttled or banned, and someone grinding the app
down. Per-route windows already existed; these are the missing layers.
- lib/model-guard.ts: every route that spends a model call now takes a slot —
60 calls per window across all clients (RATE_LIMIT_MODEL_TOTAL), 3 in flight
per IP, 6 in total — and the slot is released when the call finishes, on
errors and on client disconnects. Over the concurrency cap answers 429
kind=busy, not a punishment. Slots are taken after every cheap rejection so
a malformed request cannot hold one (found by the new suite: early 400s
were leaking slots).
- Images must be base64 data URLs (dataUrlSchema in lib/schemas): a plain URL
in an images field made Ollama fetch an arbitrary address on our behalf.
- Push endpoints must be a real push service (PUSH_ALLOWED_HOSTS, defaulting
to FCM/Mozilla/Apple/WNS): the server POSTs to whatever is stored.
- The rate-limit identity is the LAST x-forwarded-for hop. Reading the first
let a client spoof its own IP and dodge every per-IP limit.
- Disk guards: reports.jsonl stops at REPORTS_MAX_BYTES (8 MB), reminder
devices cap at PUSH_MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS (50).
- Security headers: frame-ancestors 'none' + X-Frame-Options DENY, nosniff, a
referrer policy and a Permissions-Policy without camera/mic/geo/payment.
New tests/security-test.mjs (13 checks, registered in run-all) proves each
guard against a slow stub Ollama with deliberately tiny limits. README:
security notes + rate-limit tables updated. Version 0.1.3, SW -> v51.
Entry points (no sixth tab): Ask in the Library header (desktop button,
phone icon), Ask about this deck in the deck menu, Ask a question on
study/homework results (compact result travels as context), and a Chat
row in the desktop sidebar. Phones get a full-screen route with back +
New chat; the tab bar steps aside.
- Client-side retrieval: chunk scoped decks (~800 tokens), BM25 against
the question + recent turns, top chunks under ~7k tokens, each
labelled with deck + section. Notes come from the deck's stored
sourceText (already kept for Regenerate); decks without it fall back
to generated content and the UI says so.
- Stateless server: /api/chat validates against the CHAT_MODELS
allowlist, trims the history to ~6k tokens, caps context at ~9k and
streams token/thinking/done/error NDJSON. /api/chat/extract reduces
attachments to text through the existing vision step.
- UI: user bubbles + full-width assistant text, streaming with stop,
auto-scroll that pauses with a jump-to-bottom button, safe markdown
(React nodes, no HTML injection; KaTeX dynamically imported only when
a message has math), Thinking row for reasoning, copy/regenerate/
edit-and-resend, model + context pickers (last model remembered),
composer with visualViewport keyboard handling, safe-area, 16px
textarea, Enter-to-send on desktop.
- Usage-limit failures keep the draft and show the shared message with
Settings/Ollama actions; stopping maps the reader abort to a clean
stopped state; offline disables sending with a reason.
- Settings: Keep notes text for chat toggle; deck menu: Delete notes
text. RATE_LIMIT_CHAT + CHAT_MODELS in .env.example and README.
- Tests: chat suite (63 checks, stub Ollama) wired into run-all.
Full set: 12/12 suites, 487 checks. SW -> freezmo-v32.
Also: tests/model-compare.mjs (diagnostic) benchmarks two models on the
same notes (latency, repair rounds, activity types) so the gpt-oss vs
gemma default can be decided on numbers; defaults unchanged.
