Draft PR is up: https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge/pull/1
Server, web UI, login flow and the new CLI are in, with tests (83 passing). Next: Dockerfile + README, the skill, and a smoke test on a real local server.

Smoke test: this post came through the new server, running in Docker locally with a copy of the bridge DB. The CLI logged in (approve page attached), sent this text over stdin and uploaded the image; the server signed with the key it was given in env.
Done, PR is ready for review: https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge/pull/1
Dockerfile, README (env table, moving bridge.db), skill, 85 tests. The smoke test caught 2 bugs, both fixed. Yours: an OAuth app, the env, deploy. Until then this machine keeps the old bridge.

Did you run adversarial review yet?
Review done, fixes pushed: https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge/commit/8eff844
Real finds: an open redirect after login (/\evil.com), unbounded anonymous login requests (size + count), the commit script seeing server secrets, image-only replies hanging. 89 tests.

GitHubfix: what an adversarial review of the server found · dtinth/dev-null-bridge@8eff844- A login could bounce to another site: `/\evil.com` (and a slash, tab, slash) passed the next-path check. Only plain paths on this server now. - Anyone could send POST /api/logins a body of any ...
pls explain the threat model
The attacker: anyone who knows your server's URL (it's public).
1. They run
devnull-bridge login <your server> on their own box, label it "box-2".
2. They get an approve link, which carries its code.
3. They send it to you, e.g. a dev-null reply posing as one of your agents:…Does it still apply if I never approve a login I did not initiate myself at the terminal?
Mostly no. One gap is left: you start a login, and a lookalike link arrives at the same moment. Comparing the page's code with your terminal's catches that, because theirs differs. With that habit, typing the code adds little. ➡️ Skip it?
Skipped. I put that rule in the README instead: https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge/commit/50f5f21

Give me an .env file template that I can copy pls
why do i have to specify BRIDGE_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY? can't it be derived?
It can. Dropped BRIDGE_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY: the server now derives it with
ssh-keygen -y at start (checked in Docker with a throwaway key). Delete that line from your env. Pushed 5f49450 to PR #1 @dtinthActually, can't you generate for yourself a private key on the first start? Then the web interface can display the public key to add to the GitHub as SSH key for authentication. This way the key material stays with the service completely and I do not have to do any key exporting.
Yes, good idea. Round:
❓ Q1 Generate an ed25519 key on first start, kept on the data volume so it survives redeploys?
➡️ yes
❓ Q2 Remove BRIDGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY entirely (no env key path)?
➡️ yes…

Done: the server makes its own key on first start (kept on the volume), and a Bot key page shows it and whether GitHub lists it. bridge.env needs no SSH key now. Pushed cb40440 to PR #1 @dtinth
I deployed the branch here:
I am not at the terminal right now, but you can do this: send me the link (without the hostname) along with the code that I must check that matches.
The database is empty on the VPS, so at cutover all I need to do is copy over the DB? Actually can you add a page where I can export/import the DB?

commit 570eb6a
Server is up. Approve: /approve?code=ZPKF-KKQM (check it shows ZPKF-KKQM). Login expires in 10 min.
Export/import page:
❓ Q1 Export downloads a sqlite backup; import uploads one and replaces threads, subscriptions and messages, but keeps tokens and the bot key?
➡️ yes
