## Description
`/debug/warmup` serialized the warmup registry verbatim, so a Kompress
slot left at the startup snapshot kept reporting `{"status": "null",
"info": {"source_status": "deferred"}}` forever — even while the ONNX
model was loaded and actively compressing.
`/health` and `/readyz` already fix this: #2402 added
`_reconcile_kompress_health()`, which promotes the slot from live
runtime state. The debug route never called it, so its answer depended
on whether a health probe happened to run first. That is the half of
#2624 still reproducing on `main`.
Second defect: `WarmupSlot.mark_loaded()` only *updates* `info`, so the
startup-planted `source_status: "deferred"` survived promotion and the
slot serialized as the self-contradictory `{"status": "loaded", "info":
{"source_status": "deferred", "backend": "onnx"}}`.
Closes#2624
## Type of Change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
- `headroom/proxy/server.py`: call the existing
`_reconcile_kompress_health()` in the `/debug/warmup` route before
serializing the registry. The reconciler never instantiates a compressor
and never calls `preload()` / `ensure_background_load()` / `compress()`
— it only reads `is_ready()` / `ready_backend()` on an already resident
instance, or falls back to the module-level ONNX cache — so the endpoint
stays side-effect free and idempotent.
- `headroom/proxy/server.py`: stamp `source_status="runtime"` at both
`mark_loaded()` promotion sites in `_reconcile_kompress_health()` (the
resident-compressor path and the `_kompress_cache` fallback),
overwriting the stale startup marker.
- `tests/test_proxy_debug_endpoints.py`: three regression tests plus a
read-only compressor stub whose `preload` / `ensure_background_load`
raise, so a future change that makes the debug route trigger a load
fails loudly.
- `tests/test_proxy_health.py`: assert the promoted slot's
`info["source_status"] == "runtime"`.
## Testing
- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [ ] Manual testing performed

## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.13.11, pytest 9.1.1, ruff 0.15.x,
mypy 1.20.2, branch based on `main` at 6d5516dc
- Exact command / steps: `pytest tests/test_proxy_debug_endpoints.py
tests/test_proxy_health.py tests/test_proxy_warmup.py -q`, then `git
stash push -- headroom/proxy/server.py` and re-run `pytest
tests/test_proxy_debug_endpoints.py -q -k kompress` to confirm the new
tests fail without the fix
- Observed result: 55 passed with the fix. Without the fix the three new
`/debug/warmup` tests fail — the slot stays `status: "null"` with
`info.source_status: "deferred"` and the stub records zero calls, i.e.
the endpoint never looked at live runtime state. With the fix the same
slot serializes as `{"status": "loaded", "info": {"source_status":
"runtime", "backend": "onnx"}}` and the stub records exactly
`["is_ready", "ready_backend"]` — no load triggered.
- Not tested: the live end-to-end proxy path (cold start, real ONNX
download, real request traffic). This machine has no `onnxruntime` /
`transformers` installed, so a real Kompress load cannot run here; the
tests substitute a stub at the same seam `_reconcile_kompress_health()`
reads. Unrelated to this change, that missing-dependency environment
also makes the pre-existing
`tests/test_kompress_preload_deferral.py::test_proxy_startup_does_not_enter_cached_kompress_native_loader`
fail locally (it reports `source_status: "unavailable"` instead of
`"deferred"`); it fails identically on unmodified `main`.

## Summary
`require_loopback` in `headroom/proxy/loopback_guard.py` guards
`/debug/tasks`, `/debug/ws-sessions`, `/debug/warmup`, and
`/stats/reset` by checking `request.client.host` only. A malicious
website can use DNS rebinding to make a victim's browser send requests
to `127.0.0.1` while the page origin (and inbound `Host:` header) still
reads `attacker.com`. The IP check passes — the browser IS on loopback —
and `app.add_middleware(CORSMiddleware, allow_origins=["*"], ...)`
(`headroom/proxy/server.py:1678`) lets the attacker's JS read the
response. This PR adds the canonical second gate: the `Host:` header
must also name loopback (`127.0.0.1[:port]`, `[::1][:port]`, or
`localhost[:port]`).
## Impact
While the proxy binds to `127.0.0.1` by default
(`headroom/proxy/server.py:2956`), any browser the user opens can be
used by an unrelated tab to reach the proxy via DNS rebinding.
Concretely:
- `GET /debug/tasks` → leaks asyncio task names, coroutine qualnames,
and (with `?stack=true`) stack depths — reveals which coroutines are
mid-flight and which codepaths are warm. Useful for fingerprinting +
targeting follow-on attacks.
- `GET /debug/ws-sessions` → leaks live WebSocket session metadata
including `upstream_url` per session.
- `GET /debug/warmup` → leaks warmup registry shape (lower risk).
- `POST /stats/reset` → resets in-memory proxy stats (state mutation;
minor DoS of dashboards/observability).
The fix path matches the OWASP DNS-rebinding mitigation and Starlette's
`TrustedHostMiddleware` posture.
## Location
- `headroom/proxy/loopback_guard.py:73` — guarded the IP check only, no
`Host:` validation
- `headroom/proxy/server.py:1819-1845`, `:2312` — endpoints reachable
via DNS rebinding under the old gate
## Fix
`require_loopback` now runs two gates: (1) the existing
`request.client.host` loopback IP check, and (2) a new `Host:` header
allowlist via `is_loopback_host_header(...)`. The header helper accepts
`127.0.0.1[:port]`, `[::1][:port]`, `localhost[:port]`, and IPv6-mapped
IPv4 (`::ffff:127.0.0.1`) — strips brackets and ports, then delegates to
the existing `is_loopback_host` logic. Cross-origin browser fetches
always carry the attacker's hostname in `Host:`, so rebinding requests
now 404 alongside any other external attempt.
Same 404 (not 403) semantics, so debug endpoints remain invisible to
external scanners. The new helper is in `__all__` for explicit re-use.
The existing manual-`Request`-stub unit test path (no `.headers`
attribute) is preserved by an `if headers is None: return` fallback so
older callers that pass a bare stub still work.
Test fixtures in `tests/test_proxy_debug_endpoints.py` were updated to
pin `base_url="http://127.0.0.1"` so the loopback-`Host:` invariant
holds in the green-path tests, plus a new `app_and_rebinding_client`
fixture and `test_debug_endpoints_block_dns_rebinding` exercising the
gate at the HTTP level. Six new unit tests cover
`is_loopback_host_header` (canonical accept, external reject, malformed
reject, and rebinding signature). Net: +219 lines, -4 lines, in two
files.
**Compatibility note for operators:** a deployment that fronts the proxy
behind a reverse proxy with a non-loopback Host (e.g. `headroom.local`
mapped to `127.0.0.1`) and still wants `/debug/*` exposed would need to
either point that reverse proxy at the upstream API endpoints only, or
extend `is_loopback_host_header` with an env-var allowlist in a
follow-up. The default `HEADROOM_HOST=127.0.0.1` path is unaffected.
## Detected by
Aeon (manual review — no scanner rule for this; pattern matches the
threat-model-claims + local-HTTP-server axes from
[`skills/vuln-scanner`](https://github.com/aaronjmars/aeon-aaron/blob/main/skills/vuln-scanner/SKILL.md),
priors that have surfaced 10+ similar finds across 5 languages over the
last 6 weeks).
- Severity: medium
- CWE-350 (Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical
Action)
- CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) — adjacent
- Class match: DNS-rebinding-via-loopback-bind (recurring axis in the
tracker)
## Verification
- `python3 -m py_compile headroom/proxy/loopback_guard.py` — parses.
- The new unit tests in `tests/test_proxy_debug_endpoints.py` cover:
canonical loopback Host headers (accept), external Host headers
(reject), malformed/empty (reject), an HTTP-level DNS-rebinding
simulation (`app_and_rebinding_client` fixture with
`base_url="http://attacker.com"` + loopback client tuple), and the
unchanged IP-only stub path.
- Other test files that use `require_loopback`
(`test_proxy_openai_responses_integration.py`,
`test_proxy_openai_responses_bypass.py`,
`test_proxy_dashboard_stats_cache.py`) all override it via
`app.dependency_overrides[require_loopback] = lambda: None`, so they are
not affected by the new gate.
- I was unable to run `pytest` locally in this sandbox; please confirm
the new fixtures slot in cleanly when the CI matrix runs.

Add websockets to the dev extra so the repro harness smoke test can import
its websocket client dependency in the CI test matrix. Also apply ruff
formatting to the files the formatter check was rejecting so the 3.12 lint
job passes.
Task.get_stack(limit=32) walks coroutine frames synchronously and
measurably stalls the event loop when called for 50+ relay tasks during
a reconnect storm. The /debug/tasks snapshot does not need this by
default — the perf-cheap fields (name, coro_qualname, age, done) are
enough for the common case of "which tasks are alive".
- collect_tasks: add with_stack_depth=False kwarg; default leaves
stack_depth=None per entry.
- /debug/tasks: read ?stack=true query parameter and forward it. Default
response is cheap; opt-in explicitly when human-debugging one snapshot.
- Test: verify default entries have stack_depth=None and that
?stack=true produces at least one integer depth.
- Log the resolved Anthropic pre-upstream concurrency at startup so
operators can correlate pre_upstream_wait_ms lines with the configured
cap. Distinguishes auto-detected vs. explicit vs. unbounded.
- Remove the stage_timings, session_id, and stage_timings_path fields
from RequestLog. They were declared optional but never populated at
any of the three RequestLog construction sites — stage timings flow
exclusively through emit_stage_timings_log (structured log line) and
Prometheus histograms. Keeping unpopulated fields misled readers.
Option (A) from the review.
- Inline the one-liner collect_ws_sessions / collect_warmup pass-throughs
at their two callers in server.py; keep collect_tasks since it has
real logic. Unit tests were rewritten against the registry's own
snapshot()/to_dict() serializers.
On Linux dual-stack sockets (IPV6_V6ONLY=0 default), an IPv4 loopback
connection arrives as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 and was 404'd by the literal set
check — silent outage of /debug/* when the proxy binds to :: or 0.0.0.0.
Replace the set-membership check with ipaddress.ip_address(host).is_loopback,
special-casing 'localhost' (not an IP literal) and treating ValueError
(malformed input) as non-loopback. The None sentinel for TestClient / UDS
sockets is preserved.
Unit 5 of the Codex-proxy resilience plan. Three always-on
/debug/* endpoints make "what is this process doing right now?"
a single curl away:
- GET /debug/tasks serializes asyncio.all_tasks() to name,
coro_qualname, stack_depth, done, and age_seconds (derived from
the WS session registry for Codex relay tasks, null otherwise).
Sorted by age desc. No frame locals, no request bodies, no
coroutine args.
- GET /debug/ws-sessions returns WebSocketSessionRegistry.snapshot().
- GET /debug/warmup returns WarmupRegistry.to_dict().
A FastAPI Depends(require_loopback) dependency 404s (not 403) any
non-loopback caller so debug routes stay invisible to external
scanners. Dependency chosen over middleware because the route set
is small and explicit Depends(...) makes the guard visible to
reviewers and easy to override in tests.
