preserving the existing `ArchiveError::TooManyEntries` result and limit
semantics.

read_file to enforce max_total_size using each entry’s actual decompressed byte

before the cumulative total exceeds the limit, and preserve the existing

CEDARLING_HTTP_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTES falling back to CEDARLING_POLICY_STORE_MAX_FILE_SIZE couples two unrelated limits
cedarling/src/bootstrap_config/decode.rs
max_response_size_bytes: match raw
.http_client_max_response_size_bytes
.unwrap_or(raw.policy_store_max_file_size)
{
0 => None,
n => Some(n),
},These two properties guard different things:
CEDARLING_HTTP_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTESbounds every HTTP response body Cedarling buffers — JWKS, OIDC discovery, status list, Lock Server, policy store.CEDARLING_POLICY_STORE_MAX_FILE_SIZEbounds how far a single.cjarentry may decompress.
After this change one knob drives both, and the knob is named after only one of them. An operator tuning archive decompression silently moves the limit on network fetches that have nothing to do with the policy store.
Why this is a problem
1. CEDARLING_POLICY_STORE_MAX_FILE_SIZE=0 disables the HTTP cap globally.
0 is the documented "no cap" sentinel for the archive limit. Through unwrap_or it reaches the 0 => None arm, so setting it removes the response-size cap from JWKS, OIDC discovery, status list and Lock Server requests as well. An operator who wanted "don't limit how large my legitimate policy store may decompress" gets "let any upstream stream an unbounded body into memory" — the exact exhaustion vector the HTTP cap exists to close. Nothing in the property name or in its documented meaning signals this. This is covered by the zero_disables_each_cap_independently test, so it is intentional, but it is worth reconsidering: it turns a policy-store tuning knob into a security control for unrelated subsystems.
2. A small archive cap silently shrinks unrelated downloads.
Symmetrically, setting CEDARLING_POLICY_STORE_MAX_FILE_SIZE=65536 because the policy store is small now caps every HTTP response at 64 KB. A status list or a large JWKS then fails with a response-size error that gives no hint that a policy-store property caused it.
3. The stated justification does not hold.
The comment says the fallback exists "so a download is never larger than the largest entry we would decompress". But ArchiveLimits::from_max_file_size derives max_total_size = 10 * max_entry_size, so an archive may legitimately decompress to ten times the per-entry cap. The download limit therefore ends up 10x stricter than what the archive limits themselves permit, while the comment describes a guarantee the code does not provide. If the coupling is kept, the matching quantity is max_total_size, not max_entry_size.
Suggested resolution
Either option is fine; both remove the surprising direction of the coupling.
A. Decouple. Give CEDARLING_HTTP_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTES its own default again (HttpClientConfig::DEFAULT_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTES) and drop the fallback. The field goes back to u64, the Option handling in decode.rs disappears, and the BootstrapConfigRaw field type stops being a breaking change for downstream Rust consumers. Cost: serving a large .cjar over HTTP requires raising both properties explicitly.
B. Let the fallback only raise the limit, never lower it, and stop propagating 0.
max_response_size_bytes: match raw.http_client_max_response_size_bytes {
// Explicit value wins, including the documented `0` opt-out.
Some(0) => None,
Some(n) => Some(n),
// Unset: a large archive cap may raise the download limit, but a small
// or disabled one must not shrink it — JWKS / OIDC / status list / Lock
// fetches are not collateral of a policy-store knob.
None => {
let archive_total =
ArchiveLimits::from_max_file_size(raw.policy_store_max_file_size).max_total_size;
Some(archive_total.max(HttpClientConfig::DEFAULT_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTES))
},
},Resulting behaviour:
| Configuration | Current | With B |
|---|---|---|
| neither set | 10 MB | 100 MB (max_total_size) |
MAX_FILE_SIZE=0 |
no HTTP cap at all | 10 MB (HTTP default) |
MAX_FILE_SIZE=64KB |
all HTTP responses capped at 64 KB | 10 MB |
MAX_FILE_SIZE=50MB |
50 MB | 500 MB |
HTTP_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE_BYTES=0 |
no cap | no cap |
C. The cleanest variant, if the plumbing is acceptable. Apply the archive-derived limit per request instead of globally. HttpClient::read_response_capped already takes the cap as a parameter internally, so an override variant would only need to be threaded through load_policy_store_from_uri, load_policy_store_from_cjar_url and the refresh worker tick. Policy-store fetches then get the archive-derived cap and every other endpoint keeps the HTTP default, with no global coupling at all.
Whichever option is taken, the corresponding paragraphs in docs/cedarling/reference/cedarling-properties.md need rewording — the current text describes the "never larger than the largest entry we would decompress" guarantee discussed in point 3.

Why this is always zero?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's zero because PolicyStoreConfigRaw only carries source and path, so there's no refresh interval to read 0 is the documented "refresh disabled" default.
