The suite that shipped with the implementation pinned the decisions that were expensive to get wrong. This turns it into the exhaustive matrix the surface deserves: POST /hosts/<id> is the only publicly writable endpoint on the service, so a mistake there is an intrusion rather than an outage. __tests__/hosts.test.js goes from 22 to 155 cases (suite 61 -> 194): - auth: nine near-miss Authorization headers, the read token refused on the write route, the ingest token refused on all five read routes, and the two tokens proven independent — either one unset leaves the other path working - rejection ordering: 404 (routing) beats 503 (ingest token unset) beats 403 (outside the allowlist), and a malformed id answers 404 whatever token it carries, so route existence stays unenumerable - routing: eleven more malformed ids, every one of them a 404. Widening HOST_ROUTE_RE to `^/hosts/(.+)$` turns sixteen of them red, which is what makes the narrow pattern a traversal control rather than a comment - payload: twenty-two field mutations, eight bodies that are not a JSON object, an Infinity only a raw body can express, and the 4 KiB ceiling pinned from both sides — 4096 accepted, 4097 and 8 KiB refused - persistence: 0600 mode, whitelist rebuild, 128-character cap, loadAvg sliced to three, the route id winning over an id in the body, an overwrite leaving no temp debris, and the 500 path when HOSTS_DIR cannot be created - freshness: 899/900/901 exact against a frozen Date.now() instead of the wall clock, plus a custom HOSTS_STALE_SECONDS and its fallbacks - listing: eight ways a snapshot file can be corrupt, each degrading its own entry while a healthy neighbour keeps its data The 4 KiB hostname of the acceptance criteria is covered twice, because the body ceiling fires before the sanitiser ever sees it: 4096 characters are refused with 413, and 3500 characters (which fit) are truncated to 128 with the long value absent from the file. index.js is untouched. No defect surfaced, and the two mutations used to prove the net bites were reverted. Resolves #14 |

vps-health-api
Lightweight health monitoring API for the VPS. Node 22, HTTP-native, zero runtime deps.
Endpoints
Read endpoints require Authorization: Bearer $HEALTH_TOKEN. The single write
endpoint uses its own token, $HOSTS_INGEST_TOKEN, so a workstation agent can
push its snapshot without gaining read access to the Defenseurs reports.
| Method | Path | Token | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | /health |
HEALTH_TOKEN |
CPU, memory, disk, uptime, Logto reachability |
| GET | /defenseurs |
HEALTH_TOKEN |
Defenseurs executive status (status.json) |
| GET | /defenseurs/findings?project=X |
HEALTH_TOKEN |
Detailed findings for a project's Defenseur |
| GET | /reports/scans?date=YYYY-MM-DD |
HEALTH_TOKEN |
Aggregated scan reports for a UTC date |
| GET | /hosts |
HEALTH_TOKEN |
Latest snapshot of every allowlisted workstation |
| POST | /hosts/<id> |
HOSTS_INGEST_TOKEN |
Ingest one workstation snapshot |
Routing resolves before authentication: an unknown path or a wrong method
answers 404, never 401.
POST /hosts/<id>
Body: the GET /health payload minus logto and timestamp — hostname,
uptime, cpu{model,cores,loadAvg,usagePercent},
memory{totalGB,usedGB,freeGB,usagePercent}, disk{…same four…}.
<id> must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,31}$ and be listed in
HOSTS_ALLOWED_IDS. That regex is the path-traversal control — anything that
fails it never reaches a handler.
| Code | Case |
|---|---|
| 204 | Snapshot accepted and written |
| 400 | Unparsable JSON, missing field, or wrong type |
| 401 | Ingest token missing or wrong |
| 403 | <id> well-formed but not in the allowlist |
| 404 | <id> outside the format (never reaches the handler) |
| 413 | Body past 4 KiB — connection cut |
| 503 | HOSTS_INGEST_TOKEN not configured (fail-closed) |
The stored object is rebuilt field by field from a whitelist (numbers must be
finite, strings are capped at 128 chars, everything else dropped) and written
atomically via a temp file + rename. receivedAt is stamped by the server on
arrival; a client-supplied timestamp is ignored.
Example:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HOSTS_INGEST_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @snapshot.json \
"https://health.lacompagniemaximus.com/hosts/thinkpad"
GET /hosts
{ "staleAfterSeconds": 900,
"hosts": [ { "id", "hostname", "uptime", "cpu", "memory", "disk",
"receivedAt", "ageSeconds", "online" } ] }
One entry per allowlisted id. online = ageSeconds <= staleAfterSeconds,
computed server-side. A host that never checked in — or whose snapshot file is
unreadable — degrades to { id, receivedAt: null, ageSeconds: null, online: false, neverSeen: true } instead of failing the response, so the dashboard can
say "agent not installed" during commissioning.
