Read this first: /plans was not broken

The issue reports that loading /plans directly renders the Home dashboard. That does not reproduce on main, and I could not construct any input that produces it. So this PR does not contain a /plans fix. It contains fixes for the five defects the audit the issue asked for actually turned up, four of which produce the same user-visible symptom on other routes, and one of which reproduces every symptom in the issue body verbatim.

Verified two independent ways before writing any code, both against the real build output:

  • Real browser (Chromium against the production webpack bundle, the harness frontend-e2e.yml already runs): /plans, /plans/, /plans?q=1, /Plans, /plans/abc, each on first load and after a reload, all give title="CUDly — Plans", path=/plans, nav highlight plans, panel plans-tab, zero page errors.
  • Go probe of resolveStaticFilePath against the real frontend/dist: /plans resolves to dist/index.html, like every other route.

Both candidate root causes are clear for that route. The SPA catch-all is path-agnostic on both transports (http.go registers mux.Handle("/", spaFileServer) with only /api/, /health, /version, /oidc/ ahead of it; lambda.go gates on isStaticPath), and no CDN special-cases a route name: AWS is a single compute origin plus custom_error_response 404 -> /index.html, Azure classic CDN and Front Door rewrite on file extension and the api/ prefix, GCP's url map has default_service only and no path_rule.

/opportunities deep-linking while /plans did not is a red herring, not a property of the routes. Full reasoning and the likely explanation for the original report are in a correction comment on the issue.

What the audit found

Defect Symptom
R1 key in record consults Object.prototype, at 5 lookup sites in navigation.ts /constructor and /__proto__ kill init() before switchTab() runs
R2 app.ts rebuilt the canonical URL inline with an Admin-only special case /inventory/coverage and /inventory/ri-exchange land on the wrong sub-section, URL truncated
R3 history.ts:226 passed the retired tab name 'history' the Plans page's per-plan History button renders the Home dashboard
R4 riexchange.ts:197 passed the retired tab name 'settings' Exchange settings renders Home under an Admin title and an /admin/purchasing URL
R5 resolveStaticFilePath sent any directory path to the SPA shell the API Docs header link serves the dashboard instead of Swagger

R1 reproduces all four symptoms in the issue body. /constructor passed the membership test, TABS['constructor'] returned the Object constructor, and pushState of that value threw DataCloneError out of init():

/constructor  title="CUDly - Cloud Commitment Optimizer"  nav=home  panel=home-tab
              Init error: DataCloneError: Failed to execute 'replaceState' on 'History':
              function Object() { [native code] } could not be cloned.

That leaves the app on the unrouted markup straight out of index.html: Home panel, Home nav highlight, the generic title, empty Home charts, and no event listeners bound. Only lowercase prototype members reach it, because applyTabFromPath lowercases the segment, so /constructor and /__proto__ trip it while /toString and /valueOf do not.

R3 and R4 are reachable from buttons on the Plans and Inventory pages. Both passed tab names retired by the #340 IA rename, and switchTab's if (!(tabName in TABS)) tabName = 'home' silently redirected them. R3 is wired at plans.ts:1192 to the History button on every plan card, which makes it a plausible source of a report phrased as "/plans renders Home".

Every route audited

Listing what was verified fine as well as what broke, so the reach of the audit is checkable rather than asserted. Every row was exercised in a real browser on direct load and on refresh.

Route Pre-fix verdict Post-fix
/, /home OK OK
/opportunities OK OK
/plans (+ /plans/, /plans?q=1, /Plans, /plans/abc) OK, the reported symptom did not reproduce OK
/purchases OK OK
/inventory OK, but the URL was left non-canonical canonicalises to /inventory/active-commitments
/inventory/active-commitments BROKEN (R2), URL truncated OK
/inventory/coverage BROKEN (R2), wrong sub-section OK
/inventory/ri-exchange BROKEN (R2), wrong sub-section OK

/ri-exchange (legacy) BROKEN (R2), lands on bare /inventory OK
/not-a-route OK, falls back to Home OK
/constructor, /__proto__ BROKEN (R1), app dead OK, falls back to Home
/admin/constructor BROKEN (R1), document.title became "undefined" OK, Admin · General

/reset-password, /archera-insurance, /purchases/{approve,cancel}/:id OK, non-tab landing paths OK, pinned by the Go table test
in-app: Plans page → History button BROKEN (R3), renders Home goes to Purchases
in-app: Inventory → Exchange settings BROKEN (R4), renders Home under an Admin URL goes to Admin → Purchasing

The changes

internal/server/static.go resolves <dir>/index.html before the SPA fallback. The candidate re-runs symlinkSafeContainedIn: appending a constant filename keeps the path lexically inside the static dir, but os.Stat follows symlinks, so without the check /docs/ would serve a file that a direct /docs/index.html request rejects. directoryIndex and spaIndex are extracted to hold resolveStaticFilePath at gocyclo 10, matching its pre-change value; the naive inline version measured 14 and would have reddened the -over 10 pre-commit gate. docs.html gets an absolute stylesheet href so the page styles at both /docs and /docs/.

frontend/src/navigation.ts gets an own-property isKnownKey() at all five lookup sites, and an exported canonicalTabPath() that now owns the URL for both switchTab's pushState and app.ts's initial replaceState, so the two cannot drift again. skipDefaultLoad lets a caller reveal a tab without triggering its default fetch; the permission gate still applies.

The source change is 129 insertions across 6 files. The remaining ~420 lines are tests.

Testing

frontend/tests-e2e/deeplink.spec.ts (new, 24 cases): real Chromium, page.goto(url) then page.reload(), asserting the highlighted nav item, the visible panel, document.title, the canonical path, and zero uncaught page errors. Covers every tab, both sub-tab families, the legacy redirects, an unknown path, and the prototype-chain segments. A client-side nav to these routes works, so a test that clicks the nav item would stay green while the bug is live: these navigate the browser directly, which is the only way to exercise the failing path.

Pre-fix: 9 of 24 fail (/inventory, /inventory/active-commitments, /inventory/coverage, /inventory/ri-exchange, /ri-exchange, /constructor, /__proto__, /admin/constructor, and the sub-section assertion). Post-fix: 24/24 pass.

navigation.test.ts adds coverage for applyTabFromPath, which had none, including the prototype-chain paths, plus canonicalTabPath and skipDefaultLoad. static_test.go adds a table test pinning the SPA fallback for every route on both transports, so a future root-level mux registration cannot silently shadow one, plus the /docs directory-index cases and a symlink-escape case. Each was verified failing against the pre-fix code.

npx playwright test 28 passed
npm run lint / npm run build 0 errors
go test ./... pass (whole repo)

Review note

An independent review of the diff caught a defect this PR's own fix introduced. Routing viewPlanHistory to the Purchases tab made a previously-unreachable render reachable, and _fourEyesMode is assigned only inside loadHistory(), which skipDefaultLoad suppresses. The approval queue would have rendered as though dual control were off, offering a creator an Approve button on their own pending purchase. The backend still 403s, so it was a UI misrepresentation rather than a bypass, but it is a money path and no test in the changeset would have caught it. Fixed by extracting refreshFourEyesMode() and awaiting it on both render paths. The same review found the directoryIndex symlink gap above.

Also fixed at the source while here: navigation.test.ts set isAdmin -> false and never restored it, and jest.clearAllMocks() does not reset implementations, so every test declared after it had been running as a non-admin.

Follow-up, not in this PR

init() wraps everything in one try, so any failure before switchTab() leaves the app on the unrouted markup with the URL untouched and a dead nav. R1 proves that state is reachable from a URL and fixes that route, but the fragility remains and is the most likely explanation for the original report. Changing how init failures surface to the user is a different concern and would widen this diff considerably. Worth its own ticket.

Closes #1775

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Deep links preserve selected Inventory and Admin sub-tabs across navigation and page refreshes.
    • RI Exchange links open the relevant Purchasing panel directly.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Legacy and invalid routes redirect to canonical paths more reliably.
    • Plan history respects purchasing access permissions and avoids unnecessary data loads.
    • Dual-control status refreshes without blocking page rendering and defaults safely when unavailable.
    • Documentation and SPA routes resolve correctly at /docs and /docs/.
  • Reliability
    • Improved handling of directory indexes, missing routes, and unsafe path references.

…shell

resolveStaticFilePath treated any path that stats as a directory the same
as a missing file and fell through to the SPA fallback, so /docs/ returned
the dashboard rather than dist/docs/index.html. The "API Docs" header link
was broken on both the HTTP and the Lambda transport.

Resolve <dir>/index.html first, re-running symlinkSafeContainedIn on the
candidate: appending a constant filename keeps the path lexically inside
the static dir, but os.Stat follows symlinks, so without the check /docs/
would serve a file that the direct /docs/index.html request rejects.

docs.html now references its stylesheet absolutely so the page styles
correctly whether it is reached as /docs or /docs/.

Pins the wider contract while here: a table test asserts every route the
SPA defines (tabs, sub-tabs, legacy redirects, the non-tab landing paths)
still falls back to index.html on both transports, so a future root-level
mux registration cannot silently shadow one.

Refs #1775
Three route-resolution defects, all of which render the Home dashboard in
place of the page the user asked for.

`key in record` consults the prototype chain, so a first path segment
naming an Object.prototype member passed the membership test against the
tab tables. /constructor resolved as a known tab, TABS['constructor']
came back as the Object constructor, and pushing that value threw
DataCloneError out of init() before switchTab ran. The app was left on
its unrouted markup: Home panel, Home nav highlight, the generic document
title, and no event listeners bound. Use an own-property test at all five
lookup sites.

init() rebuilt the canonical URL inline with an Admin-only special case,
so a deep-linked /inventory/<subtab> was truncated to /inventory before
switchTab read the segment back out of the URL, landing the user on the
default sub-section. canonicalTabPath now owns that URL for both the
initial replaceState and switchTab's pushState, so the two cannot drift.

viewPlanHistory and the "Exchange settings" jump still passed the
pre-#340 tab names 'history' and 'settings', which are no longer known
tabs and fell back to Home. The Plans page's "View history" button showed
the Home dashboard; the Exchange settings button showed it under an Admin
title and an /admin/purchasing URL.

Routing viewPlanHistory to the Purchases tab needs skipDefaultLoad so the
tab's own unscoped 7-day fetch cannot land after the plan-scoped one and
overwrite it. The permission gate still applies, and the dual-control
config now refreshes on both paths: the approval queue must never render
as though four-eyes were off, which would offer a creator an Approve
button on their own pending purchase.

Closes #1775
The reported failure is only observable on the initial-load path: a
client-side nav to the same route works, so any test that clicks the nav
item stays green while the bug is live. Each case points the browser
straight at the URL and then reloads it, asserting what the user sees:
the highlighted nav item, the visible panel, the document title, and the
canonical URL, plus no uncaught page error.

Covers every tab, both sub-tab families, the legacy redirects, an unknown
path, and the Object.prototype segments. Nine of the 24 cases fail
against the pre-fix bundle.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates SPA deep-link routing, canonical sub-tab preservation, guarded purchase-history loading, dual-control refresh behavior, and static-file containment checks. It adds unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage for these paths.

Changes

SPA deep-link handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe static resolution and SPA fallback
internal/server/static.go, internal/server/static_test.go, frontend/src/docs.html
Static serving validates path containment and symlink targets for files, directory indexes, and SPA fallback routes. Documentation assets use an absolute stylesheet path.
Canonical route resolution and guarded tab loading
frontend/src/navigation.ts, frontend/src/__tests__/navigation.test.ts
Navigation generates canonical paths, preserves Inventory and Admin sub-tabs, rejects inherited route keys, and supports skipping default purchases or Admin loads.
Application and deep-link integration
frontend/src/app.ts, frontend/src/__tests__/app.test.ts, frontend/src/riexchange.ts, frontend/src/__tests__/riexchange.test.ts, frontend/tests-e2e/deeplink.spec.ts
Application initialization and RI Exchange links use canonical routing. End-to-end tests cover direct loads, refreshes, redirects, unknown paths, nested routes, and prototype-member segments.
Purchase history and dual-control refresh
frontend/src/history.ts, frontend/src/__tests__/history.test.ts, frontend/src/__tests__/four-eyes-approval.test.ts
Plan history opens Purchases without an unscoped default fetch, checks purchase access, and refreshes dual-control configuration with fail-closed behavior. Tests cover allowed access, denied access, and configuration failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to de9bd

The routing and static-file fixes are covered by the reported passing test suite, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains; a localized test-fixture robustness follow-up may be considered.

… justifications

The three os.Stat calls in this file are flagged by gosec's taint analysis
as G703 path traversal. The suppressions were dropped during review on the
claim that G703 was not the applicable rule; it is, and CI's golangci-lint
v2.10.1 fails on all three. A newer local golangci (2.11.4) did not report
them, so the removal passed local verification.

Restore them in the form that was already proven on main, but with
justifications that name a guard which actually exists rather than the
copied-forward "error from Close handled in defer" text, which described
nothing on these lines:

  - resolveStaticFilePath: filePath passed filepath.Abs and
    symlinkSafeContainedIn immediately above
  - directoryIndex: the candidate passed its own symlinkSafeContainedIn
  - spaIndex: the operator-set STATIC_DIR plus a constant filename, with
    no request-derived segment

Verified against v2.10.1 specifically, matching CI, rather than whatever
version was on PATH.

…al-control config

Two findings from review.

spaIndex served the SPA shell without the containment check its sibling
directoryIndex runs. A direct /index.html request is validated by
resolveStaticFilePath before it gets there, so a symlinked shell pointing
out of the static dir was refused at /index.html and served at every
client-side route. Same asymmetry, opposite spelling. The regression test
asserts both spellings reach the same verdict.

refreshFourEyesMode left _fourEyesMode at its previous value when the
config fetch failed, which on a first load means false. That renders the
approval queue as though dual control were off and offers the creator an
Approve action the backend rejects. An unreadable config now fails closed:
the UI can be more restrictive than the backend, never less. A config that
reads successfully without the flag is a known off, not an outage, and is
still treated as off; both directions are covered by tests.
…e real guard

The gosec G703 findings were suppressed on an argument. This replaces the
argument with evidence: adversarial cases across all three entry points
(resolveStaticFilePath, the HTTP handler, and the Lambda transport), covering
"..", encoded and double-encoded traversal, backslash separators, absolute
paths, NUL bytes, and symlinks escaping the root.

They assert on the resolved path with symlinks followed, and on the served
bytes, not on status codes: a handler that returns the wrong file with 200
passes a status-only assertion.

A mutation matrix over the guards, running the whole package rather than a
name-filtered subset, establishes which one carries the weight:

  symlinkSafeContainedIn, any one of its 3 sites -> tests fail
  path.Clean alone                               -> tests still pass
  path.Clean + containment                       -> escapes, serves out of root

So symlinkSafeContainedIn is load-bearing at every site, and path.Clean is
defense in depth for the lexical cases only. It cannot resolve a symlink,
which is the escape the containment check exists for. The suppression
comments now say that rather than crediting the wrong guard.

The symlink cases live in the shared hostile fixture rather than only in
separately-named tests, so one `-run Hostile` exercises both classes. Keeping
them apart is what let an earlier name-filtered mutation run skip every case
that touches symlinkSafeContainedIn and wrongly conclude it was redundant.

Also converts the three suppressions from //nolint:gosec to the #nosec form
already used in this file, verified against golangci-lint v2.10.1.

…ymlink support

hostileRoot called t.Skipf when os.Symlink failed, which skipped the whole
test: traversal, encoded and double-encoded paths, absolute paths and NUL
bytes all vanished along with the symlink cases, and go test reported SKIP.
On a platform without symlink support the entire traversal defense would have
gone unverified while the suite still looked green.

The lexical fixture is now built unconditionally and the symlink cases are
additive, returned by symlinkCases() so callers append instead of branching.
Simulating a symlink failure now runs 35 lexical subtests and skips nothing,
against 0 subtests and 3 skips before.

Same shape as the -run filter that hid these cases from the earlier mutation
run: a check whose failure is indistinguishable from success.

Addressing the nitpick from the review on de9bde85e (static_test.go 521-526, "Keep lexical-path tests active when symlinks are unavailable"). Taken, and it was better than a nitpick.

hostileRoot called t.Skipf when os.Symlink failed, and every caller went through that fixture. So on a platform without symlink support the traversal, encoded and double-encoded, absolute-path and NUL-byte cases would all have disappeared along with the symlink cases, and go test would have reported SKIP rather than failure. The entire traversal defense would have been unverified while the suite still read green.

Fixed as suggested: the lexical fixture is built unconditionally, and the symlink cases are additive via a symlinkCases() helper so callers append rather than branch. hostileRoot now returns whether the links were created and logs when they were not.

Measured by simulating a symlink failure:

before after
lexical subtests run 0 35
tests skipped 3 0

This is the same failure shape as something else this PR hit: an earlier mutation run used -run Hostile, and the symlink cases lived in differently-named tests, so the filter silently excluded the only cases exercising symlinkSafeContainedIn and made a load-bearing guard look redundant. Both are checks whose failure mode is indistinguishable from success. Grouping cases by the property they defend, rather than by the mechanism they use, is what prevents it.

Re-verified after the change: the guard mutation matrix still fails at all three symlinkSafeContainedIn sites and stays green when only path.Clean is removed, golangci-lint v2.10.1 reports 0 issues repo-wide, standalone gosec v2.28.0 reports 0, and the full Go suite passes.

Coverage bar column rendered empty because its CSS never existed

The Coverage tab's "Coverage bar" column rendered blank cells while the
numeric percentage beside it was correct. The markup was never the problem:
buildServiceRow already emitted td.coverage-bar-cell > div.coverage-bar >
div.coverage-bar-fill with the fill width set inline and clamped to 0..100.
No stylesheet anywhere in the repo defined those three classes, so both
divs resolved to zero-height boxes with no background and painted nothing.

Established by elimination rather than by guessing, because the issue
allowed either rendering the bar or removing the column and those need
opposite fixes. Reading the renderer ruled out "vestigial" and "field
misnamed". Grepping the three class names across every css, html and ts
file in the repo returned exactly one file, inventory.ts itself, which
ruled out a stylesheet that had drifted. The zero-height conclusion was
then measured in Chromium rather than reasoned about. Not fallout from
#1854's deep-link work: the route resolves correctly and the classes have
been unstyled since the column landed in #754.

The fix is the missing rules, built from existing design tokens: an
8px track using --cudly-border with a pill radius and overflow hidden, a
fill using --cudly-success, and a fixed-width middle-aligned cell.

Absent is not zero. A row whose coverage is null renders no track at all
plus a muted N/A, rather than a zero-width bar, because a 0 percent bar
asserts the answer is known to be zero.

Why the existing suite never caught it, which is also why the new coverage
sits where it does: jsdom does not resolve stylesheets into layout, so
inventory.test.ts asserted DOM structure and the header aria-label and
stayed green for the entire life of the bug. A passing jest run is
structurally incapable of detecting a zero-height box. The regression
coverage is therefore a Playwright spec that measures rendered geometry,
with jsdom cases retained for the DOM half. Confirmed failing pre-fix and
passing after, and the Playwright job is confirmed to have executed in CI
on this head rather than being skipped.

Verified in a browser at the boundaries, since that is where bar rendering
breaks: 0 percent, 100 percent, and a row with no coverage figure.

CodeRabbit posted one actionable comment asking that inventory.ts be split
below the 500-line guideline. Declined on scope and answered on the thread:
the file was already 634 lines on main and this change adds 11, so it
extends an existing breach rather than creating one, and the evidence cited
("the final file reaches Line 519") is where the hunk ends rather than the
file's length. The convention breach is real but systemic, so it is tracked
rather than fixed inside a p1 bug fix.

Deferred: #1865, fourteen non-test files under frontend/src exceed the
500-line ceiling, led by recommendations.ts at 5481 lines. Its Go
counterpart is #1863.
