# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase07-session06-push-remote-access-and-operator-diagnostics-guardrails` **Package**: Cross-package (`packages/protocol`, `apps/server`, `apps/cli`, `apps/web`; docs and env examples) **Completed**: 2026-05-30 **Duration**: \~2 hours

***

## Overview

Implemented the Phase 07 guardrails for push notifications, remote access, tunnels, and operator diagnostics. The session makes the current posture explicit and source-backed: browser notifications remain local OS notifications, Web Push and VAPID remain reserved, remote access and Cloudflare tunnels remain unavailable until a later explicit opt-in, and hosted-service diagnostics report only bounded posture (labels, counts, docs paths, booleans) without exposing raw secrets, ids, tokens, paths, payloads, logs, backups, exports, or replay buffers. This closed the last source-backed guardrail gap before the Phase 07 validation closeout (routing requirements P07-R017 through P07-R019).

## Technical Decisions

1. **Protocol-first vocabulary**: One protocol-owned summary shape feeds server, CLI, and web consumers so posture labels and counts stay consistent and bounded across surfaces.
2. **Planned-state scaffolding**: Source reports `planned`/`disabled`/ `unavailable` posture without creating any push subscription, VAPID consumption, remote access, or tunnel activation path.
3. **Loopback-only CLI diagnostics**: `fetchHostedOperationDiagnostics` fails closed on non-loopback URLs before any network request, and all failure text passes through `sanitizeDiagnosticText` (Bearer tokens, key=value secrets, URLs, and filesystem paths redacted).
4. **Boundary-local redaction**: The server route returns only labels, counts, docs paths, and booleans with no request-body echo; the service worker bounds push payload fields and constrains click targets to same-origin relative URLs.

## Test Results

| Metric     | Value                            |
| ---------- | -------------------------------- |
| Test Files | 7                                |
| Tests      | 64                               |
| Passed     | 64                               |
| Failed     | 0                                |
| Typechecks | protocol, server, web - all pass |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Static public assets like `apps/web/public/sw.js` need a lightweight repo-root file read in the web test environment, since `import.meta.url` is not a file URL there.
2. Asserting posture labels rather than full command output keeps CLI status and doctor tests stable against formatting drift.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Phase 08 owns any actual push delivery, VAPID consumption, remote access, and Cloudflare tunnel activation, each gated on consent, authorization, revocation, redaction, rate-limit, and abuse-control scope.
2. Phase 08 owns trusted unified erasure; current unsubscribe, local reset, diagnostics cleanup, Worker leave, and tunnel revocation are not trusted erasure.
3. Session 07 will run the Phase 07 validation and documentation closeout.

***

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase07-session06-push-remote-access-and-operator-diagnostics-guardrails/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
