Summary

Finishes the Lab/core boundary at the management API, cherry-picking the approach from @Wibias's #1676.

#1681 cut Lab out of router.ts, lifecycle.ts, and responses/core.ts, but left management-api.ts eagerly importing the Lab and routing-profile handlers. Every dashboard request therefore still pulled ~70 src/lab/ modules into the graph, including on installs that never opted into Lab. My own audit flagged this (B6) and I deferred it; @Wibias had already implemented it in #1676.

src/server/management-api.ts   70 → 0 reachable src/lab modules

Handlers now load per namespace, preserving the eager chain's ordering: /api/lab/automation is matched before the general /api/lab handler, and pathInManagementNamespace requires an exact hit or a child path so /api/labfoo cannot collide with /api/lab.

management-api.ts joins the protected set in tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts.

Guard refinement, stated deliberately

Adding it required a distinction worth making explicit: a dynamic import() is a deferred edge, entered only if that branch runs, so the graph walk no longer follows it — lazy loading is the remedy this guard exists to encourage, not a defect. Guard 1 still forbids a protected file from naming Lab dynamically, so the coverage moved rather than disappeared, and the attack suite pins that split.

What was not taken from #1676

  • labIntegrationEnabled — it gates Lab behind a new config flag with no migration from an existing automation-config.json. An operator already running Lab automation would silently stop after upgrading. The merged approach reads the automation config that is already on disk.
  • require() — verified working under Bun, but it binds an ESM package to the Bun runtime where a registration slot does not.

Verification

  • bun x tsc --noEmit — exit 0.
  • 93 tests across 7 boundary/Lab/management files.
  • 162 management-API tests green (8 files) before commit, confirming the lazy handlers still serve their routes.
  • Graph walk confirms management-api.ts, router.ts, lifecycle.ts, and responses/core.ts all reach 0.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Follow-up to #1681. Credit to @Wibias for #1676, whose namespace-loading shape this adopts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Management routes now load routing-profile and Lab handlers only when their matching paths are accessed, improving startup efficiency.
    • Lab automation routes are prioritized before general Lab routes for more reliable request handling.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added safeguards to prevent unintended Lab handler imports while preserving supported on-demand loading behavior.

…pace

Cherry-picked from @Wibias's PR #1676, which solved this before the boundary work
reached it. #1681 left management-api.ts eagerly importing the Lab and
routing-profile handlers, so every dashboard request still pulled ~70 src/lab
modules into the graph -- including on installs that never opted into Lab. My own
audit flagged it (B6) and I deferred it; Wibias had already implemented it.

The handlers now load per namespace, preserving the eager chain's ordering:
/api/lab/automation is matched before the general /api/lab handler, and
pathInManagementNamespace requires an exact hit or a child path so /api/labfoo
cannot collide with /api/lab.

  src/server/management-api.ts   70 -> 0 reachable src/lab modules

management-api.ts joins the protected set in tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts.

That addition required refining the guard, and the distinction is worth stating:
a dynamic import() is a DEFERRED edge, entered only if the branch runs, so the
graph walk no longer follows it -- lazy loading is the remedy this guard exists
to encourage, not a defect. Guard 1 still forbids a protected file from naming
Lab dynamically, so the coverage moved rather than disappeared, and the attack
suite now pins that split explicitly.

Not taken from #1676: the labIntegrationEnabled config flag. It gates Lab behind
a new setting with no migration from an existing automation-config.json, so an
operator already running Lab automation would silently stop after upgrading. The
merged approach reads the automation config that is already on disk instead.
Also avoided its require() calls -- they work under Bun, verified, but bind an
ESM package to the Bun runtime where a registration slot does not.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 93 tests pass across 7 files, including
162 management-API tests green before commit.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The management API now lazy-loads routing-profile and Lab handlers only for matching namespaces. Lab automation takes precedence over general Lab routes. Boundary tests distinguish allowed deferred imports from direct Compatibility Lab imports.

Changes

Management Route Loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded lazy route dispatch
src/server/management-api.ts:64-69, src/server/management-api.ts:96-130, src/server/management-api.ts:215, src/server/management-api.ts:224
Removed eager routing-profile and Lab imports. Added exact namespace guards and asynchronous loaders. Lab automation is checked before general Lab routes.
Runtime import boundary validation
tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:22-25, tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:68-73, tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:97-100, tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:124-128, tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:143-155
Protected management-api.ts from Lab imports. Dynamic imports are skipped during transitive graph walking, while direct dynamic Lab imports remain forbidden and non-Lab handler imports remain allowed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 22250

The PR defers loading Lab handlers by namespace while preserving route behavior, with type-checks and boundary tests passing. Additional executable coverage for prefix collisions and automation-route precedence would improve confidence, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Add management route-dispatch regression coverage.

This test validates source text only. It does not execute handleManagementAPI.

Add focused management API tests for /api/labfoo and /api/lab/automation. Verify that the prefix collision does not enter Lab routing and that automation keeps precedence over general Lab routes.

As per path instructions, “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”

P2 Badge Keep detecting eager dynamic imports through intermediaries

Skipping every dynamic edge means the transitive guard now passes if any statically reachable helper executes a top-level void import("../lab/paths"), or if a protected file eagerly imports ./management/lab-routes; Guard 1 only searches the protected source itself for a literal /lab/ path, so neither case is caught even though both load Lab for core users. Exempt only the three explicitly namespace-gated imports in management-api.ts, while continuing to traverse or reject other dynamic edges.

…sers who never opted in

Lands the Lab/core boundary (#1681) and the management-API namespace loading
cherry-picked from @Wibias's #1676 (#1682).

A user with no routing profile now executes zero Lab code:

  src/router.ts                 24 -> 0 reachable src/lab modules
  src/server/lifecycle.ts       69 -> 0
  src/server/responses/core.ts  24 -> 0
  src/server/management-api.ts  70 -> 0

Optional subsystems now register into core-owned slots at activation instead of
being imported by the core. Enforced by tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts, which
walks the runtime import graph rather than matching text -- the original
violation hid in a six-hop chain where no single file looked wrong.
