Feat/agent definition registry

[grokify]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added API endpoints to list registered agents and teams and trigger a registry rescan.
  • Spec definitions are synchronized into the registry at startup and when watched files change. Sync results and warnings are reported, and malformed or unresolvable definitions are surfaced as warnings.
  • Documented the new registry endpoints in the README.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds persistent agent and team definition records, synchronizes spec files into those records, and adds HTTP endpoints to list definitions and trigger synchronization. The server also starts synchronization at launch and after watcher events.

Changes

Agent and team registry

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Definition schemas and generated entity foundations internal/ent/schema/*, internal/ent/migrate/schema.go, internal/ent/agentdefinition*, internal/ent/teamdefinition*, internal/ent/predicate/predicate.go, internal/ent/runtime.go, internal/ent/runtime/runtime.go, internal/ent/ent.go	Adds agent and team schemas, their SQL tables and join table, generated entity types, query predicates, ordering helpers, and runtime defaults.
Definition query and mutation builders internal/ent/agentdefinition_{create,delete,query,update}.go, internal/ent/teamdefinition_{create,delete,query,update}.go	Adds generated create, query, update, delete, aggregation, and relationship operations for both definition types.
Ent client and transaction wiring internal/ent/client.go, internal/ent/hook/hook.go, internal/ent/tx.go, internal/ent/view*	Initializes the new clients in regular and transactional Ent clients and adds hook, interceptor, mutation, and transaction support for both schemas.
Spec synchronization and validation internal/registry/*, cmd/specui/main.go, go.mod	Adds registry synchronization for agent and team spec files, tests for registration and update cases, and startup synchronization before the server listens.
Registry endpoints and watcher internal/server/registry_handlers.go, internal/server/server.go, README.md, .gitignore	Adds agent and team listing endpoints, a sync endpoint, and serialized watcher-triggered syncs. Documents the routes and ignores matching IDEATION_CHAT Markdown files.

Loading

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eefe9

The new registry can show teams without agents that were added after the team file, and a manual sync that overlaps a file-change sync can fail. Sync errors also return internal details to callers. Fix the membership refresh and serialize sync calls before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eefe9

The new endpoints expose persistent inventory and allow callers to refresh all configured repositories without application-level access checks. Synchronization failures can also disclose internal error details. The impact is bounded by the configured repositories and database, but deployment-level access restrictions remain unverified.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · observed: The new synchronization endpoint returns internal filesystem and database errors across the HTTP boundary. A caller able to reach the route can receive repository, path, or database diagnostic details when a scan fails. Triggering the request alone does not guarantee such a failure, and request-provided scan paths are not accepted.
• Medium · security · observed: The new registry routes inherit a listener without application-level caller checks: POST can initiate writes across every configured spec directory, while GET returns every stored definition without repository filtering. Because synchronization does not retire records, listing can expose repositories retained from previous configurations. The listener and earlier metadata exposure predate this PR; the durable scope and registry-refresh authority are new. Effective production reachability depends on unverified external controls.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — For a caller who can reach the listener, readable scope is the entire backing registry database, including retained historical records. Refresh authority covers every process-configured spec directory. The shown endpoint does not accept arbitrary definition contents, scan paths, or deletion commands, so registry-refresh access is not arbitrary filesystem or agent-execution authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The retained reportable finding follows POST /api/registry/sync through registry.Sync to wrapped filesystem or database failures, then to the raw HTTP 500 response. Failure conditions are necessary for disclosure. Unlike synchronization, listing query failures use generic response messages.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspected route-to-database path applies no caller authentication, authorization, or repository selection. Process configuration limits scan roots, while spec-file access determines definition contents. The base already exposed configured spec directories and agent details without a mux wrapper; the additional concern is durable inventory scope and new refresh authority, not a newly removed authentication control.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — If initial synchronization skips an unavailable agent but saves its team, later recovery of the agent need not repair membership: an unchanged team hash bypasses edge rebuilding. Foreign keys prevent dangling IDs, but not incomplete membership. This is an inventory-recovery limitation; the inspected evidence does not establish an authorization bypass or privilege gain from it.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define an explicit registry access boundary: restrict network exposure or require authorized callers, separate listing permission from refresh permission, define visibility for retired repositories, and return generic synchronization errors while retaining diagnostics in protected logs.
• proposed — Before treating registry state as authoritative for security decisions, define publication and recovery semantics, coordinate refresh triggers, reconcile membership independently of team-file changes, and specify retirement and database rollback behavior.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @internal/ent/schema/agent.go:
- Around line 33-35: Update the namespace field in the agent schema to be
non-null by replacing Optional with a default empty string, so all creation
paths participate in the unique identity constraint.

Review comments at @internal/registry/registry.go:
- Around line 245-250: Update the existing-team sync path around the `memberIDs`
resolution so agent membership edges are refreshed even when the team content
hash is unchanged. Move `ClearAgents().AddAgentIDs(memberIDs...)` outside the
content-hash change condition, preserving the existing hash update behavior.
- Around line 121-160: Serialize concurrent calls to Sync with a shared mutex,
or replace the check-then-Create flow for agent and team records with upserts
using their existing unique indexes, so simultaneous syncs do not fail on
uniqueness conflicts.

Review comments at @internal/server/registry_handlers.go:
- Line 114: Update the error handling in the registry sync handler to log the
underlying error server-side and return a generic “error syncing registry”
response with the existing internal-server-error status, rather than exposing
err.Error() to the caller.
