Justin Poehnelt 90adcb4379 fix: harden URL encoding and input validation for AI/LLM callers (#21)
* refactor: replace manual urlencoded() with reqwest .query() builder

Remove duplicate hand-rolled urlencoded() functions from workflows.rs
and calendar.rs. All query parameters are now passed via reqwest's
.query() API, which handles percent-encoding correctly and completely.

* fix: percent-encode path parameters to prevent path traversal

Use percent_encoding::utf8_percent_encode for calendar_id, cal.id,
message_id, and file_id before interpolating into URL path segments.
Addresses code review feedback on security regression.

* fix: add shared URL safety helpers for path params

Add encode_path_segment() for single-segment IDs and
validate_resource_name() for multi-segment resource names.

encode_path_segment: percent-encodes all non-alphanumeric chars,
used for calendar IDs, file IDs, and message IDs.

validate_resource_name: rejects path traversal (..) and control
chars while preserving intentional / structure, used for Chat
space names, task list IDs, and subscription names. Returns clear
error messages for LLM callers.

* test: add AI edge case tests for URL safety helpers

Cover query/fragment injection, double-encoding, unicode, spaces,
path traversal via encoding, control chars (CR/tab), and clear
error message assertions for LLM callers.

* fix: warn on stderr when API calls fail silently

- Daily briefing calendar events fetch
- Daily briefing tasks fetch
- Daily summary calendar events fetch
- Daily summary unread email count fetch

Addresses PR review feedback about confusing silent failures,
especially for LLM callers that cannot see visual cues.

* fix: harden input validation for AI/LLM callers

- Add src/validate.rs with validate_safe_output_dir, validate_msg_format,
  and validate_safe_dir_path helpers
- Validate --output-dir against path traversal in gmail +watch and
  events +subscribe
- Validate --msg-format against allowlist in gmail +watch
- Validate --dir against path traversal in script +push
- Add clap value_parser constraint for --msg-format
- Document input validation patterns in AGENTS.md

Closes #23

* chore: add changesets for PR #21 commits

* test: add comprehensive test coverage for input validation handlers

* docs: document input validation and URL safety patterns in AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md

* fix: address PR review comments — reject ?/# in resource names, validate subscription arg, remove redundant validate_msg_format

* fix: store validated PathBuf, remove dead code, delete duplicate SubscribeConfig

Addresses review comments:
- Store validated PathBuf from validate_safe_output_dir instead of
  discarding it (output_dir is now Option<PathBuf>)
- Remove duplicate SubscribeConfig from events/mod.rs
- Delete unused validate_msg_format (clap value_parser handles this)
- Remove all #[allow(dead_code)] annotations

* fix: per-segment traversal check in validate_resource_name, fix docs

* fix: harden security validation and deduplicate logic

Updating CI Smoketest Credentials

If the OAuth refresh token used in the GitHub Actions smoketest expires or needs additional scopes, you can generate a new one and update the repository secret using the GitHub CLI (gh).

  1. Set the credentials file path to output plaintext JSON:

    export GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS_FILE=smoketest-creds.json
    
  2. Authenticate with the required scopes:

    cargo run -- auth login --scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly
    
  3. Export and set the GitHub actions secret:

    cargo run --quiet -- auth export --unmasked | base64 | gh secret set GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_JSON
    
  4. Clean up:

    rm smoketest-creds.json
    unset GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS_FILE

Brief description of the change

Use patch for fixes/chores, minor for new features, major for breaking changes.

Input Validation & URL Safety

This CLI is designed to be invoked by AI/LLM agents, so all user-supplied inputs must be treated as potentially adversarial. See AGENTS.md for the full reference. The key rules are:

What you're doing What to use
Accepting a file path (--output-dir, --dir) validate::validate_safe_output_dir() or validate_safe_dir_path()
Embedding a value in a URL path segment helpers::encode_path_segment()
Passing query parameters reqwest .query() builder (never string interpolation)
Using a resource name in a URL (--project, --space) helpers::validate_resource_name()
Accepting an enum flag (--msg-format) clap value_parser (see gmail/mod.rs)

Testing Expectations

  • All new validation logic must include both happy-path and error-path tests
  • Tests that modify the process CWD must use #[serial] from serial_test
  • Tempdir paths should be canonicalized before use to handle macOS /var/private/var symlinks
  • Run the full suite before submitting: cargo test && cargo clippy -- -D warnings
