feat(P04): --pprof opt-in on orca daemon (REQ-056, I-308)

Separate *http.Server + *http.ServeMux (AD-024), default disabled. Operator opts in via --pprof <addr>. WARN logged on startup. All pprof handlers explicitly registered on dedicated mux (no DefaultServeMux side-effect). I-308 deferred since v0.2 now implemented. 6 new tests. ---ci--- project: orca phase: 4 milestone: v0.7 status: verify requirements: covered: [REQ-056] partial: [] ---/ci---

+# Phase 2 Verification Report — v0.7: HCL Config File Parsing
+
+**Phase**: 2  
+**Branch**: `phase/02-config-parser`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-054  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/config/config.go` — `Config` struct (HCL tags), `CapacityConfig`, `Flags`, `Environ`, `Load(paths...)`, `(*Config).MergeOverrides(flags, env)`
+- `internal/config/config_test.go` — 11 tests (Load valid/missing/malformed/first-existing, MergeOverrides precedence all 4 layers, NodeCapacity)
+- `internal/config/testdata/config.hcl` — example fixture
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/cli/root.go` — added `--config` persistent flag, `configCtxKey`, `configFromCtx` helper; `PersistentPreRunE` loads config if `--config` set (AD-023)
+- `internal/cli/daemon.go` — daemon uses `cfg.ListenAddr` from config when flag is at default (`:8080`) (D-039 precedence: flag > config)
+- `internal/cli/root_test.go` — added `TestConfigFlagRegistered` + `TestConfigFlagLoadsFile`
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### Test Results
+```
+go test ./...               → all PASS (exit 0)
+go test -race ./internal/config/... ./internal/cli/... → all PASS
+go vet ./...                → clean
+make build                  → clean (v0.6.1)
+```
+
+### API Surface
+```go
+func Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)
+func (c *Config) MergeOverrides(flags Flags, env Environ) *Config
+```
+- `Load` returns zero `&Config{}` if no file exists (no error)
+- `MergeOverrides` precedence: flag > env > file > default (D-039)
+- No package-level state (AD-023)
+
+### CLI Verification
+```
+./bin/orca --help → shows --config string flag
+```
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- Config file is read-only (no writes); parsed via `hclsimple.Decode` (no eval, no external commands)
+- No secrets in config (paths only; no tokens/keys in config.hcl)
+- Config file permissions not enforced (operator's responsibility; config contains no secrets)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No new dependencies (`hashicorp/hcl/v2` already in go.mod for jobspec)
+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- Test style matches existing `jobspec/spec_test.go` + `cli/root_test.go`
+- `go.mod` unchanged
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/config/config.go` — Config struct + Load + MergeOverrides
+- [x] `internal/config/config_test.go` — 11 tests (all 4 precedence layers)
+- [x] `internal/config/testdata/config.hcl` — example fixture
+- [x] `internal/cli/root.go` — `--config` persistent flag + context wiring
+- [x] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — uses `cfg.ListenAddr` (flag still wins)
+- [x] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — config flag registration + load test
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-054 is fully covered. The `internal/config` package provides HCL config file parsing with flag > env > file > default precedence, wired into the root command via `--config` and consumed by the daemon.

+# Phase 3 Verification Report — v0.7: Test Coverage Uplift
+
+**Phase**: 3  
+**Branch**: `phase/03-coverage-uplift`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-055  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/engine/peer_test.go` — 8 tests (PeerRegistry Add/Get/Remove/All/Len/UpdateLastSeen + validation)
+- `internal/engine/executor_test.go` — 7 tests (Submit success/missing-command/malformed/failing, Status not-found, Run success, Run context-cancel)
+- `internal/engine/dispatcher_test.go` — 10 tests (empty spec, idempotency hit, local-capacity, explicit-target, no-peers, LocalSubmit/LocalStatus, nil guards, parseInlineSpec)
+- `internal/audit/audit_test.go` — 9 tests (Emit/EmitWithErr persistence, LogHandshakeOK/Failed slog fields, nil-safety, Action/Result String, FormatAction)
+- `internal/transport/handshake_log_test.go` — 8 tests (LogHandshakeOK/Failed/FromCert, FingerprintOfCert, nil-logger, nil-err)
+- `internal/transport/mtls_test.go` — 14 tests (ServerTLSConfig, ClientTLSConfig, NewMTLSClient, Do, VerifyPeerCertificate, DialContext)
+- `internal/transport/dispatch_test.go` — 24 tests (SubmitHandler/StatusHandler, DispatchClient constructor/connection-refused/HTTP/decode/Submit/Status success)
+- `internal/proxmox/ssh_session_test.go` — 14 tests (runRemote, deployPubKey, createLinuxUser, createPVERole, createPVEUser, assignPVEACL, writeSudoers, validateSudoers, full BootstrapProxmox)
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/transport/dispatch.go` — **bug fix**: `bytesReadCloser.Read` returned `fmt.Errorf("EOF")` instead of `io.EOF`, breaking HTTP request body transmission. This was a latent bug that prevented any client-side dispatch from working end-to-end.
+- `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — extended with 10 new tests (mockSSHDialer, SSH auth failure, dial-addr/port/user propagation, SSH key generation, known_hosts, nil/custom logger, cancelled context, deployPubKey edge cases)
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### Test Results
+```
+go test ./...               → all PASS (exit 0)
+go test -race ./...         → all PASS (exit 0)
+go vet ./...                → clean
+make build                  → clean
+```
+
+### Coverage (D-042 target: ≥ 50% per package)
+
+| Package | Before | After | Target |
+|---------|--------|-------|--------|
+| `internal/engine` | 8.3% | **65.1%** | 50% ✓ |
+| `internal/transport` | 26.3% | **84.6%** | 50% ✓ |
+| `internal/proxmox` | 5.1% | **82.7%** | 50% ✓ |
+| `internal/audit` | 0% | **100.0%** | 50% ✓ |
+
+All 4 packages exceed the 50% floor (AD-025).
+
+### Total new tests: 94 (37 engine+audit + 57 transport+proxmox)
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- The `dispatch.go` bug fix (`io.EOF` vs `fmt.Errorf("EOF")`) is a correctness fix — HTTP request bodies now terminate correctly. No security implications (the bug caused requests to fail, not to leak data).
+- No new dependencies added.
+- Test fixtures use temp dirs (`t.TempDir()`) — no persistent state.
+- No secrets in test code (SSH keys are test-generated Ed25519 pairs).
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No comments added (per project convention).
+- Test style matches existing patterns (`scheduler_test.go`, `node_repo_test.go`, `certgen_test.go`).
+- `go.mod` unchanged.
+- Bug fix in `dispatch.go` is minimal (1 line: `return fmt.Errorf("EOF")` → `return io.EOF` + `io` import).
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+

+- [x] All 4 target packages ≥ 50% coverage
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-055 is fully covered. All 4 target packages exceed the 50% coverage floor (engine 65.1%, transport 84.6%, proxmox 82.7%, audit 100%). A latent bug in `dispatch.go` (non-`io.EOF` return) was found and fixed during coverage uplift.

+
+**Phase**: 4  
+**Branch**: `phase/04-pprof-daemon`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-056  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)

+### Files Created
+- `internal/daemon/pprof.go` — `StartPprof(addr, log) (*http.Server, error)`: dedicated mux + server, disabled by default, WARN log

+- `/healthz` on pprof listener → 404 (mux isolation confirmed, AD-024)
+- Clean shutdown stops both servers
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- pprof on a **separate** `*http.Server` + `*http.ServeMux`, never on the mTLS daemon listener (AD-024) — verified by `TestStartPprof_MuxIsolated` (`/healthz` returns 404 on pprof mux)
+- Default **disabled** — no pprof listener unless `--pprof` is explicitly set
+- WARN log on startup: "unauthenticated, operator-only — do not expose publicly"
+- No `import _ "net/http/pprof"` side-effect registration on `DefaultServeMux` — all handlers explicitly registered on the dedicated mux

+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- `go.mod` unchanged

Jon Chery	0b58286ca2	feat(P04): --pprof opt-in on orca daemon (REQ-056, I-308) Separate http.Server + http.ServeMux (AD-024), default disabled. Operator opts in via --pprof <addr>. WARN logged on startup. All pprof handlers explicitly registered on dedicated mux (no DefaultServeMux side-effect). I-308 deferred since v0.2 now implemented. 6 new tests. ---ci--- project: orca phase: 4 milestone: v0.7 status: verify requirements: covered: [REQ-056] partial: [] ---/ci---	2026-08-04 00:22:17 +00:00
