Train PR: several independent fixes, one commit each.

Closes #52

Problem and outcome

  1. Malformed images: exec_prompt only sniffed the image header. A file with a valid PNG/JPEG magic and a garbage body reached every provider, each answered 400, and the call ended in a fatal NO_PROVIDER_FOR_PROMPT. The manager now fully decodes every prompt image off the async runtime and rejects one that does not decode, or exceeds 8000 px per side, with a non-fatal INVALID_IMAGE the contract can catch. The header sniff is unchanged
    • PNG memory: PNG is validated with the png crate row by row (with EXPAND, which rejects a palette image without PLTE), so memory stays a few rows whatever the declared size. JPEG goes through image with side and allocation limits and holds the bitmap
    • Executor preflight: v0.3 exec_prompt now fails with out-of-memory when less than EXEC_PROMPT_MIN_SPACE (128 MiB) of the contract budget is left, as web calls already do. It is independent of the manager's 256 MiB decode budget
    • Dependencies: image default features are off; only png, jpeg and webp are kept
    • Non-goals: exec_prompt_template and v0.2.x get no min-space check; decode CPU time is not charged to the contract; out-of-range palette indices are not rejected
  2. /genvm-fast-forward: lands a PR without the App by moving its v<X>-dev base to the PR head with a non-force push, refusing with every unmet gate listed. See docs/contributing/howto/pr.md
  3. Bootstrapper test (v0.3): finish points the root code_slot at the slot push_code filled instead of copying the code into the default code slot
  4. Zero-budget exact allocation keys (carried over from test(fees): [ISSUE REPRO] exact-zero internal key falls through #55 / genvm-executor#48): consensus resolves internal allocation keys by presence, so an exact key with no budget left now shadows a funded call_key wildcard, its phase still decides, and emission fails with out_of message_fee allocation_budget internal without charging the wildcard. External messages keep treating zero-budget chain keys as absent. The impl-spec and manager API schema describe the split. This flips the rule fix(fees): treat zero-budget chain allocations as absent 🐛 #54 introduced for internal messages
  5. wasmtime 48.0.3 in both executor lines ([wasmtime] 14 published advisory(ies) affect vendored sources #52): fixes GHSA-jqpg-j7w6-42pr and GHSA-m63x-6p34-q65x. Neither is reachable: the executor runs without fuel and does not use the component-model Val API. The patch series rebased cleanly except for the stack-limit restore in catch blocks, which now follows upstream's new fuel reload
  6. Webdriver dependencies: puppeteer-core 24.16.0 → 25.12.0 drops extract-zip and the proxy-agent stack, clearing every open Dependabot alert on webdriver/src/prj/package-lock.json (extract-zip, ip-address, basic-ftp, ws). It needs Node 22.12+, so the image moves from Node 20 (end of life) to Node 24 LTS

Validation

  1. implementation/tests/image_decode.rs: 24 cases covering well-formed PNG/JPEG (progressive, grey, 16-bit), garbage after a valid magic, truncation, swapped magics, missing PLTE, invalid color types, zero and huge dimensions, a bad header CRC, and the side limit, including a 512 MB-decoded 16-bit PNG at 8000²
  2. Allocation: the 3 tests from genvm-executor#48 pass, plus a new case for a zero-budget recipient wildcard shadowing a synthetic one; v0.3 executor unit tests 156 passed
  3. wasmtime: both checkouts verified at the v48.0.3 tag with the 5 genvm patches on top
  4. Webdriver: npm audit clean, typecheck and 32 unit tests pass; the rebuilt image renders through /healthcheck and /render (Node 24.21, Chromium 154)
  5. Local suite (rust | integration) & !bench & !fuzz & !needs-web: 1909 passed, 0 failed; needs-web cases were not run locally

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds bounded image decoding to LLM image validation and introduces a gated pull-request fast-forward command. It also updates fee-allocation documentation, executor references, the webdriver Node.js setup version, and internal-constant documentation.

Changes

LLM image validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded image decoding
implementation/Cargo.toml, implementation/src/llm/prompt.rs
The image dependencies enable PNG, JPEG, and WebP support. JPEG and PNG decoding apply an 8000-pixel side limit. JPEG decoding also uses a 256 MiB allocation cap.
Handler image validation
implementation/src/llm/handler.rs
The handler checks recognized image data in a blocking task. Unknown types, decode failures, and task errors produce nonfatal INVALID_IMAGE errors. Task errors are logged with the GenVM ID.

Pull-request fast-forward command

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authorization and fast-forward gates
support/ci/tools/fast_forward_command.py
The command checks permissions, reviews, branch rules, required checks, PR state, and head comparison before allowing a fast-forward.
Push, reporting, and command registration
support/ci/tools/fast_forward_command.py, support/ci/__main__.py, support/ci/unit_tests/test_fast_forward_command.py
The command verifies the fetched head and commit history, performs a non-force push, reports the result on the PR, and registers its CI tool wrapper. Unit tests cover gates, command outcomes, and error handling.
Workflow and usage documentation
.github/workflows/branch_fast_forward_command.yaml, docs/contributing/howto/pr.md
The workflow starts the command for eligible issue comments, configures deploy-key access, and passes the GitHub context. The PR guide documents the command and its conditions.

Fee-allocation documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document zero-budget matching
docs/website/src/impl-spec/04-fees.rst, docs/website/src/impl-spec/appendix/manager-api.yaml
The documentation states that zero-budget chain-key entries match internal messages but are absent for external messages.

Internal constant documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document execution prompt limit
docs/website/src/spec/appendix/internal-constants.rst
The documentation adds top_limits.exec_prompt_min_space with value 134217728.

Executor subproject references

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update executor references
executors/v0.2.x, executors/v0.3.x
Both executor subproject pointers change to new commit references.

Webdriver Node.js runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update Node.js setup version
webdriver/Dockerfile
The NodeSource setup script changes from setup_20.x to setup_24.x.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e4252

The change adds bounded image validation and a gated fast-forward command. No merge-blocking issue was identified; the only remaining item is a minor wording fix in the PR guide.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e4252

The new fast-forward command has strong identity and commit-safety controls, but approval and check decisions can become stale before the privileged push. Its mandatory E2E producer constraint also depends on how branch rules name that check. These issues affect shared development branches and, for administrators, release branches.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new ruleset-bypassing push is not bound to the mutable authorization and approval state that permitted it. After gate succeeds, a review dismissal, permission revocation, same-SHA check rerun, rule change, or PR closure can occur before the push. The subsequent verification checks commit identity and history, not those policy changes. Non-force pushing prevents divergent history overwrites but does not preserve approval or authorization validity.
  • Medium · security · inferred: The command's additional E2E gate loses its designated producer constraint when branch rules already contain E2E Tests without an integration ID. In that configuration, a same-named check from another application or a successful commit status can satisfy the gate without the designated E2E application running. Explicitly application-bound rules remain protected; the live rule configuration was not supplied.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The privileged outcome is advancement of an eligible shared manager branch. Writers need an independent current-head approval for development branches; release branches require an administrator. Documented executor synchronization propagates landed gitlinks into declared executor branches. The credential's complete repository reach and resulting deployment exposure are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An initially eligible request can push after its approval or authorization is revoked because the final stage binds only commit identity and history. Separately, if E2E Tests is configured without a producer, an actor able to publish a matching check or status could satisfy that gate without the designated E2E application. Other authorization and approval gates still apply; neither path establishes anonymous access or a verified live exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The secret-bearing workflow uses the trusted default-branch checkout, disables persisted checkout credentials, and never checks out PR code. Comment association is an early filter; the command independently resolves the event sender's current repository permission and rejects fork PRs.
  • observed — Application-bound checks require the specified producer, and the latest matching run must complete successfully. Non-admin approvals must come from a current writer other than the author or commenter and match the exact head SHA.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The command rejects a fetched head that differs from the verified SHA, rejects merge commits, and pushes non-force. These controls contain concurrent head changes and divergent base updates, but do not detect changes to reviews, permissions, rules, or same-SHA check state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Prefer a final branch-update mechanism that enforces policy server-side instead of broadly bypassing rulesets. Revalidate mutable policy immediately before mutation as additional defense, without treating another snapshot as atomic enforcement.
  • proposed — Require the designated E2E application's successful check independently of any branch-rule entry with the same context name, preserving both the repository requirement and the command's additional producer constraint.

A writer with another writer's approval of the head, or an admin, can move a dev branch to the PR head once E2E and the base's required checks pass. The push uses the manager deploy key, so the tool enforces what the rulesets would: linear history, no fork PRs, release branches admin-only, and unknown rules refused
- Bump both executor lines to wasmtime v48.0.3, which fixes GHSA-jqpg-j7w6-42pr and GHSA-m63x-6p34-q65x; neither is reachable, as the executor runs without fuel and outside the component model
- Consensus resolves internal allocation keys by presence: an exact key with no budget left still wins over a funded `call_key` wildcard, its phase still decides, and emission fails with `out_of message_fee allocation_budget internal`

robo-kp2pml30: valid nit, deferred. The sentence parses as a reduced relative clause, and a docs-only push now would invalidate the green E2E on e4252e5. It will go in with the next change to this page

@kp2pml30 Understood. This is a clarity nit, not a grammar error. Deferring it until the next page change avoids invalidating the green E2E result.
