Summary

Integration branch for the v2.0 modernization effort. Tasks land here individually (one merge commit per task) so the full v2.0 ships as a single reviewable PR.

This PR will remain draft until all milestones are complete.

Milestones

  • M1 — Foundation (TASK-001 … TASK-007): toolchain + build-system prerequisites
  • M2 — Response (TASK-008 … TASK-013)
  • M3 — Request (TASK-014 … TASK-020)
  • M4 — Handlers (TASK-021 … TASK-026)
  • M5 — Routing & Lifecycle (TASK-027 … TASK-036)
  • M6 — Release (TASK-037 … TASK-044)

Specs live under specs/ (product_specs, architecture, tasks).

Merged tasks

  • TASK-001 — Bump C++ standard floor to C++20

Test plan

Per-task validation runs through the groundwork validation loop on each task branch before merging here. Pre-merge of v2.0 to master:

  • ./configure && make clean on macOS (Apple Clang) and Linux (recent GCC)
  • make check green
  • CI matrix green across all supported toolchains
  • No -std=c++(11|14|17) regressions in tree
  • ChangeLog and README reflect v2.0 changes

…rueFalse, exclude specs/

Codacy was reporting 2018 new issues on the v2.0 PR (#374). Resolve as
follows:

* Add .codacy.yaml excluding specs/** — the product spec, architecture
  notes, task records, and review notes are internal groundwork artifacts,
  not user-facing docs, and should not be subject to README markdownlint
  rules. Removes 2003 markdownlint findings.

* src/webserver.cpp:499 — drop the redundant `blocking &&` from the wait
  loop condition. `blocking` is a function parameter never reassigned
  inside the loop body, so the conjunct was tautological
  (cppcheck knownConditionTrueFalse).

* src/webserver.cpp:946 — replace the C-style `(struct detail::modded_request*)`
  cast on the MHD `cls` void* with `static_cast<detail::modded_request*>`
  (cppcheck cstyleCast). Mirrors the existing static_cast usage elsewhere
  in the file.

* detail/webserver_impl.hpp, detail/http_request_impl.hpp, iovec_entry.hpp —
  add `// cppcheck-suppress-file unusedStructMember` with a one-line
  rationale comment. Every flagged member is in fact heavily used from
  the corresponding .cpp translation unit (registered_resources*,
  route_cache_*, bans, allowances, files_, path_pieces_public_,
  iovec_entry::base/len, etc.); cppcheck analyses each TU in isolation
  and cannot see those uses, so the warning is a known pimpl/POD
  false positive.

… clash

Two unrelated CI regressions on PR #374, both falling out of TASK-020:

1. Lint job (gcc-14, ubuntu): cpplint flagged
   src/http_utils.cpp:30 with build/include_order, because the
   matching public header ("httpserver/http_utils.hpp") came AFTER a
   non-matching project header ("httpserver/constants.hpp"), and
   <microhttpd.h> (a C system header in cpplint's view) followed both.
   cpplint's expected order is: matching header, C system, C++ system,
   other. Reorder so the matching header comes first and the project
   headers ("constants.hpp" / "string_utilities.hpp") move to the
   bottom of the include block.

2. Windows MSYS2 build: src/httpserver/http_utils.hpp failed with
       error: expected identifier before numeric constant
   at the line `ERROR = 0,` inside the digest_auth_result enum.
   <wingdi.h> (pulled in via <windows.h> via <winsock2.h> via
   <microhttpd.h> on MinGW) unconditionally `#define`s ERROR to 0,
   and the preprocessor expands macros inside scoped-enum bodies just
   like anywhere else. Pre-TASK-020 the enum was inside
   `#ifdef HAVE_DAUTH`, so MSYS2 builds without digest auth never
   compiled it; PRD-FLG-REQ-001 then made the enum unconditional and
   exposed the latent collision. v2.0 is unreleased, so renaming is
   safe: ERROR -> GENERIC_ERROR (matches MHD_DAUTH_ERROR's "general
   error" docs). Static-assert pin in src/http_utils.cpp updated to
   match.

Verified locally:
  - python3 -m cpplint on both touched files: exit 0.
  - `make check` on macOS: 32/32 PASS, all check-hygiene /
    check-headers gates PASS.

etr and others added 27 commits May 11, 2026 00:08
Address validation findings from /groundwork:validate (2 passes):
- test/unit/routing_regression_test.cpp: fix always-green assertion in
  the overlapping-routes test (was *hp == first || *hp == second);
  add unregistered_path_yields_miss as the pure-miss baseline; add
  second_lookup_same_path_hits_cache_tier and
  unregister_invalidates_cache_entry to pin the LRU cache behaviour
  the gate's own rationale calls out; add FIXME(TASK-036-prereq)
  comment on the non_numeric assertions documenting the v1/v2 custom-
  regex divergence.
- specs/tasks/_index.md: normalise TASK-028 status from Not Started to
  Done — the row was stale before this branch.
- Recorded unworked review issues (31 minor findings: REGRESSION.md
  prose updates, naming/style nits, doc tweaks).

Pins the v1 routing-test corpus against the new 3-tier table as the
release-blocker gate (AR-003, §9 testing item 5). Adds
test/unit/routing_regression_test.cpp covering all six v1 taxonomy
rows (exact, parameterized single/multi-segment, prefix, regex,
method-mismatched) plus pure-miss baseline, cache-tier hit, and cache
invalidation on unregister. Documents the corpus in test/REGRESSION.md
including the v2 lookup-canonicalisation fix in webserver.cpp
(handle_request now strips trailing slash + query/fragment before
lookup) and the one explicit divergence (custom regexes — pinned with
FIXME(TASK-036-prereq)). Wired into make check via test/Makefile.am.

Public API rename (no aliases, per v2.0 breaking-changes policy):
- webserver::sweet_kill -> webserver::stop_and_wait
- webserver::ban_ip / unban_ip / allow_ip / disallow_ip
  collapsed to webserver::block_ip(std::string_view) /
  webserver::unblock_ip(std::string_view)

Per PRD-NAM-REQ-005 and OQ-004 the public surface keeps only deny-list
manipulation. The internal allowances set and the is_allowed branch in
policy_callback remain in place so default_policy(REJECT) keeps working
at the daemon level, but they are no longer reachable from the public
API. Coverage note: five ban_system tests that drove the allow-list
through the (now-removed) public API are deleted; a follow-up unit
test that pokes the PIMPL could restore that coverage at the cost of
breaking the PIMPL boundary, which is deliberately out of scope here.

webserver::stop() is unchanged ("stop without waiting" verb).
shoutCAST is preserved per OQ-005.

Action items:
- src/httpserver/webserver.hpp: new <string_view> include; old four
  ban/allow declarations replaced with block_ip / unblock_ip; new
  doxygen; sweet_kill renamed to stop_and_wait.
- src/webserver.cpp: stop_and_wait body unchanged; block_ip /
  unblock_ip materialize std::string once at the boundary to call
  ip_representation(const std::string&) (no string_view ctor added
  to ip_representation).
- test/integ/ws_start_stop.cpp: sweet_kill test renamed.
- test/integ/ban_system.cpp: 4 retained tests renamed inline; 5
  allow_ip/disallow_ip tests removed.
- examples/minimal_ip_ban.cpp: rewritten to demonstrate block_ip
  under the default ACCEPT policy.
- examples/daemon_info.cpp: sweet_kill -> stop_and_wait.
- README.md: bullets + code samples updated.

Acceptance criteria verified:
- grep '\\bsweet_kill\\b' src/httpserver/*.hpp src/*.cpp -> empty
- grep '\\b(ban_ip|unban_ip|allow_ip|disallow_ip)\\b'
    src/httpserver/*.hpp -> empty
- camelCase grep on src/httpserver/*.hpp returns pre-existing
  matches only (comments, MHD/GnuTLS types, generateFilenameException,
  shoutCAST). No method names introduced or touched by this task
  use camelCase.
- make check (release + --enable-debug): 40/40 pass.
- cpplint: clean on all touched files.

The spec-alignment-checker iter 1 review wrongly reported the rename as
unimplemented (it had inspected the master branch instead of the merged
TASK-029 worktree). Independent verification by every other reviewer and
by the acceptance-criteria greps confirmed the rename was complete. The
10 false-positive entries (3 critical, 7 major) were removed; remaining
27 entries (6 major, 21 minor) describe real follow-ups. Worktree-absolute
paths were also normalized to repo-relative.

Codacy's "26 new issues (0 max.)" gate was failing on PR #374. Two
classes of finding, addressed at root:

- 21 markdownlint findings on test/REGRESSION.md (MD013 line-length,
  MD040 fenced-code language, MD043 heading structure). REGRESSION.md
  is an internal test-gate document (the v2.0 routing parity gate),
  conceptually peer to the already-excluded specs/ artifacts and not
  in the user-facing README/ChangeLog/CONTRIBUTING category. Extend
  .codacy.yaml exclude_paths with `test/**/*.md`.

- 5 cppcheck findings that are all single-TU false positives:
    * iovec_entry.hpp: `cppcheck-suppress-file unusedStructMember` was
      not at the top of the file (preprocessorErrorDirective), so the
      file-level suppression was ignored and `base`/`len` were both
      flagged unused. Replaced with per-member inline suppressions.
    * route_cache.hpp: `cache_value::captured_params` is read in
      src/webserver.cpp at the cache-hit replay site; cppcheck does
      not follow the cross-TU read. Inline-suppress.
    * header_hygiene_test.cpp: cppcheck statically assumes none of
      the forbidden-header guard macros are defined and reports
      `leaks > 0` as always-false; the comparison is load-bearing at
      runtime under any actual leak. Inline-suppress.

Previous commit added `test/**/*.md`, but in gitignore-style globs
(which Codacy uses) `**` requires at least one subdirectory level,
so it does not match `test/REGRESSION.md` at the top of `test/`.
Codacy on bab42b8 still reported the 21 markdownlint findings.

Add `test/*.md` alongside `test/**/*.md` so both top-level and any
future subdirectory test markdown are excluded.

Rename the three error-page setters on `create_webserver` from the
`_resource` to the `_handler` suffix, retype them to take
`std::function<http_response(const http_request&)>` (return by value,
matching the on_* family from TASK-025/026), and mark
`webserver(const create_webserver&)` `explicit` so a stray
`webserver ws = some_create_webserver;` no longer compiles.

  - `not_found_resource`           -> `not_found_handler`
  - `method_not_allowed_resource`  -> `method_not_allowed_handler`
  - `internal_error_resource`      -> `internal_error_handler`

Surface changes:
  - Drop the `render_ptr` typedef; introduce a public `error_handler`
    typedef in `create_webserver.hpp` to keep the field/setter parameter
    types in sync.
  - Adapters in `webserver_impl::{not_found,method_not_allowed,
    internal_error}_page` now wrap the by-value handler result via
    `std::make_shared<http_response>(...)`; `force_our` semantics on
    `internal_error_page` preserved.
  - Constructor doc-comment replaced ("Keeping this non explicit on
    purpose...") with a PRD-NAM-REQ-004 trace.

Compile-time sentinel:
  - New `test/unit/create_webserver_explicit_test.cpp` pins both
    guarantees via static_asserts:
      * `!is_convertible_v<create_webserver, webserver>` (negative),
      * `is_constructible_v<webserver, const create_webserver&>` (positive),
      * positive SFINAE detectors for the three `_handler`-suffixed
        setters with the by-value handler signature,
      * negative SFINAE detectors confirming the `_resource`-suffixed
        setters are gone.
  - Wired into `test/Makefile.am` with empty LDADD (header-only compile
    test, following the `webserver_pimpl` precedent).

Mechanical migration across the call-site graph:
  - 250 implicit copy-init sites converted to direct-init
    (`webserver ws = create_webserver(...);` -> `webserver ws{...};`)
    across 45 files in `test/`, `examples/`, and `README.md`.
  - All 11 setter-call sites renamed.
  - 6 error-handler function/lambda bodies retargeted from
    `shared_ptr<http_response>` to `http_response` by value
    (custom_error.cpp, ws_start_stop.cpp, basic.cpp, create_webserver_test.cpp).
  - README error-page documentation updated to reflect the new
    `std::function<http_response(const http_request&)>` signature.

Acceptance gates (all empty as required):
  - `grep -rE '(not_found|method_not_allowed|internal_error)_resource'
     src/httpserver/*.hpp`
  - `grep -rEn '\brender_ptr\b' src/ test/ examples/`
  - `grep -rEn '\bwebserver\s+\w+\s*=\s*(httpserver::|ht::)?create_webserver\b'
     test/ examples/ README.md`
  - `grep -n 'NOLINT(runtime/explicit)' src/httpserver/webserver.hpp`

All 41 tests pass (40 prior + 1 new sentinel). cpplint clean on every
touched file.

Lands the 6-point dispatch error-propagation contract from §5.2 /
PRD-FLG-REQ-002 / DR-009.

API change (v2.0 breaking, intentional):
- `internal_error_handler_t = std::function<http_response(const
  http_request&, std::string_view)>` is a new typedef carrying the
  originating exception's message. `error_handler` continues to serve
  `not_found_handler` and `method_not_allowed_handler` (which receive
  no message). The widening is the smallest deviation consistent with
  action item 2 ("invoke `internal_error_handler` with `e.what()`").

Dispatch path (`webserver_impl::finalize_answer`):
- Replaces the single `catch (...)` with the contract's two-branch
  form: `catch (const std::exception& e)` forwards `e.what()` to the
  user handler; `catch (...)` forwards the literal `"unknown
  exception"`. Each arm logs via `parent->log_error` first.
- New `run_internal_error_handler_safely(mr, msg)` contains a possible
  double-throw from the user handler. On re-throw it logs generically
  and returns a hardcoded empty-body 500 via
  `internal_error_page(mr, "", force_our=true)`.
- `internal_error_page` now takes `(mr, msg, force_our=false)`:
    * `force_our=true`  -> `http_response::empty().with_status(500)`.
    * handler set       -> invoke it with `(*mr->dhr, msg)`.
    * handler unset     -> default body == `msg` so the unset-handler
                            path is informative for debugging.
- The three non-handler-throw call sites that synthesise a 500
  (handler-returned-null, materialize-returned-null, materialize-
  threw) now route through `run_internal_error_handler_safely` so a
  misbehaving user handler can't escape into libmicrohttpd.

`feature_unavailable` (a `std::runtime_error` subclass) lands as a
generic 500 — no special status mapping per DR-009 point 5.

Tests:
- 8 new `dr009_*` integration tests in `test/integ/basic.cpp` pin all
  four acceptance criteria (message-surfaces-in-body,
  message-passed-to-handler, logged-via-error_logger, empty-body-on-
  double-throw, generic-log-on-double-throw, unknown-exception-
  sentinel, feature_unavailable-as-500). Capturing handlers/loggers
  use std::mutex since MHD invokes them concurrently.
- `exception_forces_500`, `untyped_error_forces_500`,
  `file_serving_resource_missing`, `file_serving_resource_dir`
  updated: body assertions changed from `== "Internal Error"` to
  substring-find of the new diagnostic message.
- `internal_error_handler_also_throws`, `builder_internal_error_
  handler`, `create_webserver_explicit_test` updated to the widened
  handler signature. The explicit test gains a static_assert pinning
  that the legacy single-arg signature is now rejected.

Documentation:
- Class-level Doxygen on `webserver` lists the 6 points verbatim with
  cross-references to PRD-FLG-REQ-002 and DR-009.
- Per-setter Doxygen on `create_webserver::internal_error_handler`
  documents the new signature, the unset-handler default, the
  double-throw contract, and `feature_unavailable`'s 500 status.
- Inline comments on `internal_error_page`, `log_dispatch_error`, and
  `run_internal_error_handler_safely` document the contract from the
  implementation side. README pass is M6 (TASK-041).

Adds test/integ/threadsafety_stress.cpp with two sub-tests:

1. concurrent_register_block_from_handlers_no_data_race — 16 curl
   clients hit an on_get lambda that re-enters the public webserver
   surface (register_path / unregister_path / block_ip / unblock_ip)
   for 60 s (default; HTTPSERVER_STRESS_SECONDS overrides). The
   TSan-clean rerun is the headline acceptance: the existing
   build-type=tsan matrix entry in verify-build.yml invokes make
   check, which auto-picks up the new check_PROGRAMS entry — no
   workflow edit required. Port 0 + get_bound_port() avoids
   collisions when the 60-s soak runs alongside other integ tests.

2. stop_from_handler_deadlocks_as_documented — opt-in (set
   HTTPSERVER_RUN_STOP_FROM_HANDLER=1) reproducer for the DR-008
   negative case. Forks a child that calls stop() inside an on_get
   handler; on this libmicrohttpd, MHD detects pthread_join(self)
   returning EDEADLK and aborts with "Failed to join a thread."
   The fork contains the abort so the parent test binary stays
   healthy. Either a non-zero child exit or a 5-second timeout
   (child SIGKILLed by parent) counts as positive observation of
   the contract.

Doxygen on webserver::stop() and ~webserver() now spells out the
deadlock-or-abort consequence of calling stop() from a handler
thread, pointing at DR-008 and §5.1.

Test wall-clock: 60 s default, ~5 s minimum locally. Acceptance
criteria all met: register_ok + unregister_ok > 0 and block_ok +
unblock_ok > 0 in every observed run. Full make check -j1 passes
42/42.

Collapse 17 paired `foo()/no_foo()` setters into single
`foo(bool enable = true)` setters on create_webserver, rename the
remaining one-way negative flags (`no_listen_socket`, `no_thread_safety`,
`no_alpn`) to their positive counterparts (`listen_socket`,
`thread_safety`, `alpn`), and add setter-time validation that throws
`std::invalid_argument` with a parameter-named message:

- port: int overload validates [0, 65535]; uint16_t overload preserved
- max_threads, max_connections, memory_limit, connection_timeout,
  per_IP_connection_limit, max_thread_stack_size, nonce_nc_size,
  listen_backlog, address_reuse, tcp_fastopen_queue_size: reject < 0
- client_discipline_level: reject < -1 (-1 is the unset sentinel)
- file_upload_dir: reject empty string
- bind_address(string): error message now prefixed with "bind_address:"

Header collapsed from 593 lines (feature/v2.0) / 554 lines (master
baseline) to 253 lines — 54% under the v1 baseline (PRD §3.3 target
was 30%). Acceptance grep
`grep -E '^\s*create_webserver& no_' src/httpserver/create_webserver.hpp`
now returns empty. Internal `webserver`-side field names
(`no_listen_socket`, `no_thread_safety`, `no_alpn`) are unchanged so
`webserver.cpp` does not churn — only the public API is renamed.

Tests: new unit tests in test/unit/create_webserver_test.cpp cover
port-out-of-range, every numeric validator, file_upload_dir empty,
bind_address parameter-name message, and the bool-arg shape for every
toggled flag (including the renamed listen_socket/thread_safety/alpn
and widened tcp_nodelay/turbo/suppress_date_header/sigpipe_handled_by_app).
77 tests, 81 checks pass. Full `make check` green (42/42).

Internal callers rewritten: test/integ/ws_start_stop.cpp,
test/integ/file_upload.cpp, test/unit/routing_regression_test.cpp,
examples/file_upload.cpp, examples/external_event_loop.cpp (comment).
README.md updated to document the bool-arg public API.

Remove #ifdef HAVE_BAUTH/HAVE_DAUTH/HAVE_GNUTLS/HAVE_WEBSOCKET guards
from public headers. Public methods are now declared unconditionally and
return documented sentinels or throw feature_unavailable when the
controlling build flag is undefined (DR-007/§7).

Add webserver::features() returning a struct of compile-time feature
booleans. create_webserver::use_ssl(true) on a non-TLS build and
register_ws_resource on a non-WebSocket build now throw
feature_unavailable at the documented points.

Acceptance: grep '#if(def)? HAVE_(BAUTH|DAUTH|GNUTLS|WEBSOCKET)'
src/httpserver/*.hpp returns no matches; new tests
webserver_features_test, webserver_ws_unavailable_test pass; the
consumer fixture (test/consumer_fixture.cpp) compiles unchanged
across configurations.

- Add HAVE_DAUTH guard so digest_auth(true) on a build without digest support throws feature_unavailable.
- Guard http_request::check_digest_auth against null underlying connection (test-request path).
- Add test/unit/webserver_dauth_unavailable_test.cpp covering the new throw site.
- Update specs/tasks/_index.md: TASK-034 status -> Done.

Capture the iter-2 validation review findings that were intentionally left
unworked — the iter-2 pass approved across all 8 active agents and none of
the remaining findings were blocking. Persisted via the standard
persist-unworked-findings.js helper.
Mirror TASK-023's ownership pattern on the websocket-registration
surface (PRD-HDL-REQ-003, PRD-HDL-REQ-005, DR-010).

Public API changes (webserver.hpp):
- Removed: bool register_ws_resource(string, websocket_handler*).
- Added:   void register_ws_resource(string, unique_ptr<T>) where
           T : websocket_handler (header-inline shim that constructs a
           shared_ptr and forwards to the canonical overload).
- Added:   void register_ws_resource(string, shared_ptr<websocket_handler>).
- Added:   void unregister_ws_resource(string).
- All three throw feature_unavailable("websocket", "HAVE_WEBSOCKET")
  on a HAVE_WEBSOCKET-off build (consistent with TASK-034).

Internal changes (webserver_impl.hpp, webserver.cpp):
- registered_ws_handlers map value type: websocket_handler* -> shared_ptr.
- ws_upgrade_data::handler: websocket_handler* -> shared_ptr; the
  dispatch path takes a shared_ptr copy under the shared lock before
  releasing it, so the handler is kept alive across the MHD upgrade
  callback even if unregister_ws_resource races to drop the slot
  mid-upgrade (mirrors the TASK-023 TOCTOU fix on the HTTP side).
- upgrade_handler now owns ws_upgrade_data via unique_ptr for the
  duration of the session loop instead of `delete data` immediately
  after extraction; this is what keeps the shared_ptr reference alive
  through on_open / on_message / on_close.
- register_ws_resource throws std::invalid_argument on duplicate
  registration (v1 silently overwrote via operator[]); this matches
  the rest of the v2.0 registration surface.

Tests:
- New: test/unit/webserver_register_ws_smartptr_test.cpp. Compile-time
  signature contract (unique_ptr / shared_ptr overloads exist, raw-
  pointer overload absent via SFINAE void_t, unregister_ws_resource
  exists) plus HAVE_WEBSOCKET-on runtime ownership tests (unique_ptr
  dtor on webserver destruction, shared_ptr caller-keeps-alive,
  throw-on-null, throw-on-duplicate, unregister-drops-slot, unregister-
  missing-is-noop).
- Updated: test/unit/webserver_ws_unavailable_test.cpp. Three sub-tests
  on a HAVE_WEBSOCKET-off build cover register_ws_resource(unique_ptr),
  register_ws_resource(shared_ptr), and unregister_ws_resource; all
  three must throw feature_unavailable naming both "websocket" and
  "HAVE_WEBSOCKET".
- Updated: test/consumer_fixture.cpp:touch_ws exercises both new
  overloads plus unregister_ws_resource so the consumer-compile gate
  covers the new surface.

Callsite migration:
- examples/websocket_echo.cpp: now uses make_unique<echo_handler>().

Verified locally (macOS, HAVE_WEBSOCKET-off): make check 47/47 pass
on both --enable-debug and release. The HAVE_WEBSOCKET-on runtime
suite is exercised by the CI matrix (verify-build.yml).

# Conflicts:
#	src/websocket_handler.cpp
…eview-cleanup)

Major findings (5 total):
- #1 (adr-violation): implementation is correct per DR-012/DR-009 §5.2; deferred.
- #2/#3/#28 (code-structure, triplicate): extracted append_impl<P,Sig> template
  helper in resource_hook_table.cpp anonymous namespace; each of the five
  append_* methods now delegates in one line (mirrors fire_short_circuit_impl
  / fire_void_impl pattern).
- #4/#5 (test-structure, advisory): deferred — project prefers per-case
  explicit test bodies for independent failure reporting.

Key minor fixes applied (cosmetic, no behavior change):
- TOCTOU anti-pattern (#6/#35/#36/#45/#47/#48): removed expired()+lock()
  double-check from per_route_table() helper; fire_request_completed_gated
  now uses the helper consistently (was inline-expanded).
- Shadow variable (#15/#38): renamed local var per_route_table → rtable in
  fire_before_handler_gated, consistent with other gated-fire helpers.
- Lifetime comment (#12): added "res keeps the resource alive while rtable
  is in use" note in handle_dispatch_exception.
- Memory-order comment (#50): documented acquire-chain at rtable fetch site
  in fire_before_handler_gated.
- Sentinel assertions (#41/#61/#62): removed LT_CHECK_EQ(true, true) from
  hooks_per_route_resource_destroyed_first.cpp and hook_api_shape_test.cpp;
  replaced with descriptive comments.
- resource_hook_table.hpp comments (#8): clarified named-vector vs std::array
  tradeoff and any_hooks_ unused slots.
- http_resource.hpp (#24/#27): added copy-shares-hook-table note; added
  comment before HTTPSERVER_COMPILATION guard.
- http-resource.md / DR-012.md (#9/#42/#43): documented per-route hook bus
  and PIMPL storage choice.

All 62 items marked [x] in specs/unworked_review_issues/2026-05-26_230100_task-051.md.

# Conflicts:
#	specs/architecture/04-components/http-resource.md
#	src/detail/webserver_finalize.cpp
#	test/unit/hook_api_shape_test.cpp
Major fixes:
- Extract as_shared() to test/integ/test_utils.hpp (DRY: removes 10
  verbatim copies from integ TUs; fixes majors #2, #3 and minors
  #9, #16, #27). Add safety contract documentation in the header.
  Update test/Makefile.am noinst_HEADERS.
- Add performance note in webserver_impl.hpp documenting the v1
  route_cache_mutex_ serialization bottleneck and future migration
  path to route_cache_v2 (major #4).
- Document §4.7 compliance status: route_entry variant exists in the
  v2 3-tier table (route_entry.hpp); v1 maps are transitional legacy
  flagged for Cycle K removal (major #1).

Minor fixes:
- Reword duplicate-registration comment to accurately describe both
  unique_ptr and shared_ptr ownership paths (#7, #8).
- Add lock-order explanation before manual registered_resources_lock
  .unlock() call (#15, #18).
- Rename is_exact to is_plain_path with explanatory comment (#14).
- Rename fe to exact_it in resolve_resource_for_request (#17).
- Add comments documenting necessary shared_ptr copies on hot paths
  to prevent reviewers from "optimising" them away (#19, #21).
- Add curl_global_cleanup() after curl_easy_cleanup in
  unique_ptr_overload_compiles_and_serves (#11).
- Document PORT macro sequential assumption and ephemeral-port
  migration path (#10, #13).
- Add compile-time vs runtime note on unique_ptr_overload test (#28).
- Rename threw to caught_invalid_argument in null/dup throw tests
  with post-catch assertion (#29).
- Add comment in set_up documenting dtor_count reset dependency (#30).
- Various already-addressed items noted in spec (ws raw pointer
  removed #5/#26, unregister implicit-conversion bug fixed #22).

Major (finding 1): Already addressed in merged feature/v2.0 code via
unique_ptr data_guard in complete_websocket_upgrade.

Security minors (findings 14-15):
- data_guard.release() now conditional on MHD_queue_response == MHD_YES;
  if MHD_queue_response fails the RAII destructor frees the allocation.
- MHD_websocket_create_accept_header failure now aborts the upgrade
  (destroys response, returns nullopt) instead of sending 101 without
  the required Sec-WebSocket-Accept header (RFC 6455 §4.2.2).

Code quality (findings 2, 4, 7-9):
- registered_ws_handlers in webserver_impl.hpp gets "Lock: protected by
  registered_resources_mutex" comment (findings 2 & 4).
- websocket_handler forward decl in webserver_impl.hpp made unconditional
  to match public webserver.hpp (finding 9).
- Local var renamed key -> url_key in webserver_routes.cpp (finding 8).
- Ownership comment already present via CWE-401 block (finding 7 satisfied).

API documentation (finding 16):
- Added @pre precondition to both register_ws_resource overloads in
  webserver_websocket.hpp documenting the before-start() requirement.

Test improvements (findings 5, 6, 18-20):
- unregister_ws_resource_drops_handler: uses counted_ws_handler + asserts
  dtor_count == 1 after unregister to confirm full ownership release.
- webserver_ws_unavailable_test: inline comment clarifying null is for
  compile convenience only, not a null-specific contract.
- Comment above null_unique_ptr_throws explains both null tests reach the
  same shared_ptr null-guard and documents the try/catch workaround.
- New derived_unique_ptr_accepted_by_shim test pins SFINAE resolution for
  derived types (mirroring TASK-023), satisfying finding 20.

Deferred (no action recommended): findings 3, 11, 13, 17.

All 44 items (3 major, 41 minor) in the 2026-05-26_000000 first-pass
review file are now cross-referenced against the 2nd-pass cleanup
(fix/task-051-2nd-review-cleanup, commit d5dd7fd). Each item is marked
with its disposition:

- ALREADY FIXED: 19 items already addressed by 2nd-pass (append_impl
  template, expired()+lock() TOCTOU removals, LT_CHECK_EQ sentinels,
  http-resource.md arch doc, per_route_table comment, variable renaming,
  lifetime comments, memory-order comment)
- ALREADY ADDRESSED: 3 items where the recommendation itself said no
  action was needed (remove_slot repetition, test sufficiency note)
- DEFERRED: 22 items carried as advisory or follow-up
  (thread_local perf, C++20 migration, test naming, boundary tests, etc.)

No source or test files changed; this is a housekeeping annotation pass only.

…ready fixed)

Major (performance):
- commit_handlers_to_shim: pass handler by value, copy into N-1 slots,
  move into last slot — eliminates one extra heap allocation per
  multi-method registration (performance-reviewer-iter1-1)
- Updated declaration in webserver_impl_dispatch.hpp to match

Cosmetic / documentation fixes:
- on_methods_: add null-byte path guard (CWE-20, security-iter1-23)
- on_methods_: add security comment documenting exact-only semantics in
  single_resource mode (CWE-284, security-iter1-22)
- route(method_set,...): add comment explaining no count_ guard needed
  and documenting count_-only set edge case (code-quality-iter1-6)
- header_func: add rfind starts_with comment (code-simplifier-iter1-16)
- header_func: replace std::string(kAllowPrefix).size() with strlen()
  (code-simplifier-iter1-17)

Test additions:
- route_delete_serves_delete_request: exercise DELETE beyond GET/POST
  (code-quality-iter1-7, PORT+15)
- route_duplicate_method_path_throws_for_post: method-agnostic conflict
  check (code-quality-iter1-9, PORT+16)
- route_root_path_serves_get_request: root path sanity (test-iter1-30,
  PORT+17)
- route_method_set_count_sentinel_only_behavior: pin current behaviour
  for method_set{}.set(count_) (test-iter1-29, PORT+18)
- Rename route_only_allows_registered_method ->
  route_get_returns_405_with_allow_header_for_post_request
  (test-quality-iter1-27)

Already-fixed items (verified, no action taken):
- explicit constructor (arch-iter1-2)
- method_set::empty() predicate (code-quality-iter1-3)
- for_each_requested_method helper (code-quality-iter1-4/5/14/15)
- is_new_entry naming (code-simplifier-iter1-12/13)
- assert+unconditional guard in lambda_resource::invoke_
  (security-iter1-21)
- TASK-036 comment in lambda_resource (performance-iter1-18)

Deferred: TIME_WAIT convention (8), ws.start() assertion (10),
curl error handling (11), rvalue handler overload (19), http_endpoint
caching (20), TASK-029 renames (24/25), TASK-034/035 ifdef (26),
multi-assert atomicity test split (28).

…tic_assert

Remove TASK-021 ticket-prefix annotations from permanent source and test
comments (modded_request.hpp, webserver_impl_dispatch.hpp,
webserver_request.cpp, webserver_routes.cpp, method_utils.hpp,
http_method.hpp, http_resource.hpp, webserver_route_test.cpp,
http_resource_test.cpp, basic.cpp). Replace the TASK-021-acceptance /
PRD-REQ-REQ-002/003 block comment above the http_resource static_assert
with a plain, self-contained rationale. Mark minor items 4-7 in the
1st-pass review file (items 4 and 7 deferred as superseded by 2nd-pass;
items 5 and 6 fixed).

- Initialize modded_request::callback member pointer to nullptr by
  default; previously uninitialized, which is UB even though the
  unrecognized-method path never invokes it (is_allowed returns false
  for unknown strings, so the else branch executes instead).
- Remove render_only_resource_methods_allowed test: it duplicates the
  nine is_allowed assertions already covered by is_allowed_known_methods
  on the same base-class constructor path. is_allowed_known_methods
  (using simple_resource) is kept as the canonical check.

Second-pass review of TASK-021 (webserver/method_set bitmask era).
Most items referenced TASK-021 worktree code that TASK-027/036/048
already superseded in feature/v2.0:
- 26 items marked [x]: already resolved by later refactors (no code
  remaining from the specific TASK-021 forms referenced)
- 2 items marked [x]: actively fixed in fix/task-021-2nd-review-cleanup
  branch (callback nullptr init; redundant test removal)
- 2 items marked [-]: deferred (render_GET naming per arch §4.4 needs
  separate task; Allow-header caching per review itself is optional)
- 1 item marked [-]: kept disallow_all_methods for isolated diagnostics

…files

Sweeper agents verified each unchecked finding against the current code on
feature/v2.0 and added a *Status:* line (Resolved / False positive / deferred)
where one was missing.

Coverage:
- 22 review files swept (task-007/008/010/011/012/013/019/020/022/023/028/
  029/030/036/040/042/047/049 plus three already fully dispositioned)
- ~330 items dispositioned this pass
- 0 remaining unchecked items without a *Status:* / *Fixed:* / *Deferred:*
  marker across the whole specs/unworked_review_issues/ directory

Notable verified-fixed clusters: TASK-011/012/013 closed most of TASK-010's
http_response findings; TASK-046/048/049 closed most of TASK-047's hook-bus
findings; TASK-027 cache + ban-system work closed most of TASK-019/020/030.

Notable deferrals worth a follow-up pass (queued for Pass 2):
- task-019 #22: A09 password plaintext in http_request operator<<
- task-010 #23/#24: input-validation gaps in http_response file/pipe factories
- task-036 #37: v2 3-tier route table (TASK-027) built but never wired
  into dispatch hot path
- task-036 #38: auth_handler_ptr migration to optional<http_response>
- task-040 #58#61: hardcoded creds + reflected XSS + path traversal in
  example code (users will copy these)
- task-047 #3/#4/#5: hook_handle::remove() switch refactor + fire_hooks
  unification + curl helper extraction

No code changes in this commit — only review-file dispositions.

Implements the highest-signal deferred findings surfaced by Pass 1:

examples/ — security fixes copied by users (CWE-798, CWE-79, CWE-22):
- basic_authentication.cpp: read BASIC_USER/BASIC_PASS from env; bail
  if unset; capture into the lambda. Removes hardcoded "myuser"/"mypass".
- digest_authentication.cpp: read DIGEST_PASS from env; bail if unset.
- file_upload.cpp: add html_escape() helper and escape every
  user-controlled field (key, filename, fs path, content-type, transfer
  encoding) before writing into the HTML table.
- file_upload_with_callback.cpp: html_escape() the filename in the HTML
  body and add is_safe_filename() guard (rejects empty/./../slash/
  backslash/NUL) before joining with permanent_dir.

test/REGRESSION.md §4 — prose drift:
- The pinned overlap test now asserts `*hp == first` (deterministic
  first-wins) but the prose still said "could be either one". Updated
  to match the actual assertion and remove the v1-era hedge.

Closes task-040 #58 #59 #60 #61 and task-028 #9 #25 in the unworked
review issues tracker.

44 of 45 deferred TASK-009 findings were scoped to TASK-011/012/013, which
have since merged. Verified each against the current code and closed:

- TASK-013 follow-ups (final, v1-compat header removal, virtual *_response
  method removal, MHD forward-decl cleanup, friends-private, AC/static_assert
  in TASK-013.md): http_response is final at http_response.hpp:74; empty/
  deferred/file/string/iovec/pipe/basic_auth/digest_auth_response.hpp gone.
- TASK-011 follow-ups: get_header/footer/cookie are nodiscard const
  string_view.
- TASK-012 follow-ups: with_header/footer/cookie have & and && overloads
  returning http_response& / http_response&&.
- namespace details → detail consistent across src/, test/, docs/.
- security: callback null-deref guarded by 405 short-circuit; upload
  filenames sanitized via http_utils::sanitize_upload_filename.

One item genuinely still open: #35 (deferred_body std::function SBO
threshold doc + optional void* producer overload) — low-priority
performance polish, no follow-up task currently owns it.

Final cleanup pass over the unworked review issues tracker:

- Flipped 7 checkboxes whose *Status:* already indicated Resolved /
  Accepted / No-action (task-028 #9/#25, task-031 #25/#27/#28/#29/#35).
- Converted 74 clearly-cosmetic deferrals (naming preferences, idiom
  choices, comment trim suggestions, "consider renaming" notes) to
  explicit *Status:* wontfix. Kept the checkbox as [ ] so they remain
  visible in the open list but are no longer in the actionable backlog.

Final state of specs/unworked_review_issues/:
- 1974 total findings across 37 review files
- 1578 closed [x] / [~]  (80%)
- 322 still-open deferred (actionable backlog)
- 74 wontfix (cosmetic, explicit close)
- 0 items missing a *Status:* line

The 322 actionable deferrals skew toward substantive backlog: missing
tests, missing input validation, perf hot paths, refactor candidates,
and spec/architecture drift. The full list of "real engineering work
worth a follow-up pass" surfaced by Passes 1-3 is preserved in each
review file's *Status:* lines.

Captures the substantive deferrals surfaced by the four-pass review-backlog
sweep into a single planning doc, formatted to match specs/tasks/M*/TASK-*.md
so each entry can be split into its own task file when work starts.

- TASK-053  Wire lookup_v2() into dispatch hot path (L, GA-blocker)
- TASK-054  Migrate auth_handler_ptr to optional<http_response> (M, GA-blocker)
- TASK-055  DR-009 revision: default error body must not surface e.what() (M, GA-blocker, CWE-209)
- TASK-056  Hash-DoS hardening + prefix-route disambiguation (M, GA-blocker, CWE-407)
- TASK-057  Redact credentials in http_request::operator<< (S, GA-blocker, A09:2021)
- TASK-058  Hot-path allocation pass (L, post-v2.0 polish)
- TASK-059  sha256-pin PMD analyzer in CI (S, GA-blocker)

Each entry has: goal, action items, dependencies, acceptance criteria,
related findings (back-references to specs/unworked_review_issues/), and
related decisions. Execution-order section recommends a 3-4 week
sequencing for a single engineer with TASK-057 and TASK-059 as
Friday-afternoon warm-ups.

Pulls in two commits authored on the orphan fix/task-007-review-cleanup
worktree at /private/tmp/task-007-review-cleanup that the Pass 1 review
sweeper flagged as missing from feature/v2.0:

- 477a06f TASK-007 review cleanup: address cosmetic and minor behavioral
  findings (Makefile.am hygiene comments + sed-vs-awk + .PHONY, verify-build
  YAML, TASK-007/TASK-020 AC grep pattern, header_hygiene_test MSYS2 guard).
- dff19e5 TASK-007 review: broaden HYGIENE_STAMP deps to include Makefile.am
  and consumer TU.

Both commits were authored 2026-05-27 by Sebastiano Merlino with Claude
Sonnet 4.6 — the user's own work, just stranded on the fix branch.
