fix: audit codebase and improve reliability by 0xProgress · Pull Request #7 · 0xProgress/webhookd

0xProgress · 2026-09-16T22:35:56Z

Summary of Changes

This PR performs an audit-and-improve pass on webhookd following all 10 core invariants:

Safety & Nil Checks:
- Added defensive nil checks to server.NewHandler, output.NewWriter, and output.NewPrettyWriter to ensure fallback to io.Discard or graceful error handling rather than runtime panics.
- Added validation in config.Load to ensure Host cannot be empty.
Redundant Code & Constants:
- Replaced duplicate error string literals in server/handler.go with package-level named constants (errMethodNotAllowed, errUnsupportedMediaType, errPayloadTooLarge, errUnknownProvider, errSigVerificationFailed, errInternal).
Tests & Import Grouping:
- Standardized import grouping in server/server_test.go (stdlib, blank line, internal).
- Added unit test cases for nil EventWriter and nil io.Writer handling.
Documentation:
- Replaced broken links referencing docs/contributing/provider-guide.md in README.md and docs/providers/checklist.md with links to CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Updated Docker usage in README.md to include --host 0.0.0.0 so container port forwarding functions as intended.
- Updated SECURITY.md out-of-scope section to remove references to external community modules, reflecting the in-repo provider model.

Invariants Preserved

Unmodified go.mod, go.sum, docs/webhookd-core.md, providers/provider.go, and providers/registry.go.
All verification checks (go build, go vet, go test -race -count=1) pass clean.
Smoke test produces exact JSONL output on stdout and startup banner on stderr.

.golangci.yml:30

These entries were moved from the top-level formatters.enable block into linters.enable, even though the file still documents gofmt/goimports as formatters above. With the v2 configuration used before this change and version: latest in CI, golangci-lint will reject this configuration (and the deleted top-level version: "2" marker is also required); restore the v2 version marker and put these entries back under formatters.enable.

    - gofmt
    - goimports

.github/workflows/release.yml:36

This reuses the SHA pinned for docker/setup-qemu-action above, but action commit SHAs are scoped to their own repositories. The commit is not a valid docker/setup-buildx-action ref, so the release workflow will fail while loading this step; pin setup-buildx-action to its own v3 commit.

        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@c94ce9fb468520275223c153574b00df6fe4bcc9 # v3

.github/workflows/release.yml:38

This also reuses the setup-qemu commit for a different action repository. docker/login-action cannot resolve that repository-scoped SHA, so the release job will fail before GoReleaser runs; replace it with the login-action v3 commit.

      - uses: docker/login-action@c94ce9fb468520275223c153574b00df6fe4bcc9 # v3

docs/providers/checklist.md:21

This new checklist item duplicates the preceding line's same CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-provider requirement, leaving the companion checklist with the same task twice. Remove the redundant line rather than adding a second copy.
