Bundling three related JSON-RPC API issues found during testing. They share a common theme — the RPC layer trusts inputs more than it should and surfaces results inconsistently. Happy to split into separate issues if preferred.

1. deck.delete / deck.create operate on arbitrary paths (no deck-marker check)

Both methods accept any filesystem path and act on it without verifying it is (or will be) a slide deck. Only OS permissions stand between the caller and arbitrary directory deletion or creation.

Reproduction

deck.delete { path: "/tmp/.X11-unix" }   # attempted; blocked only by OS perms
deck.delete { path: "/etc" }              # attempted; blocked only by OS perms
deck.delete { path: "/" }                 # attempted; blocked only by OS perms

deck.create { parent_path: "/tmp/a/b/c", name: "deep" }
# succeeds; /tmp/a, /tmp/a/b, /tmp/a/b/c all silently created (no mkdir -p flag)

Root cause

crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs:411-413

pub fn deck_delete(deck_path: &Path) -> Result<(), HeroSlidesError> {
    std::fs::remove_dir_all(deck_path)?;
    Ok(())
}

Handler at crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs:1800-1803 only checks is_dir() before calling deck_delete — no .slides marker, no registry lookup.

crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs:394-398

pub fn deck_create(deck_path: &Path) -> Result<DeckInfo, HeroSlidesError> {
    std::fs::create_dir_all(deck_path)?;          // recursive, silent
    std::fs::write(deck_path.join(".slides"), "")?;
    ...
}

Same pattern in deck_duplicate() (line 461).

Suggested fix

  • deck.delete: require the target dir to contain .slides (already written by deck_create), or look up in a deck registry. Reject otherwise.
  • deck.create: use fs::create_dir (single-level) on the deck dir; require parent_path to already exist, or gate multi-level creation behind an explicit create_parents: true flag.

2. Inconsistent path vs deck_path parameter naming

The parameter for the deck location is split across the API:

Param name Methods
path deck.scan, deck.get, deck.delete, deck.rename, deck.pdf, deck.pdfAsync, deck.getTheme, deck.saveTheme, deck.listThemes
deck_path deck.generateAsync, deck.generateJobStatus, deck.generateJobLogs, deck.fixInstructions, deck.rewriteInstructions, deck.instructTheme, deck.instructInstructions, deck.runAgent, deck.agentStatus, all slide.* methods

References: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs:148-217. This led to several Missing parameter errors during testing.

Suggested fix
Standardize on one name across the entire API. deck_path is the more common choice and disambiguates from slide.path-style params if that's ever added.

3. Silent input sanitization / weak validation

Several RPC handlers silently mangle or accept invalid input rather than rejecting it.

deck.create (rpc.rs:1724-1731) sanitizes the name parameter, returning created: true for a name the caller didn't ask for:

bad/name        → badname        (slash stripped)
../escape       → escape         (path-traversal segment dropped, no error)
  spaces        → spaces         (whitespace trimmed/replaced)
deck_emoji      → deck_          (non-alphanumeric stripped)
null\x00byte    → nullbyte       (null byte stripped)

let clean_name: String = name
    .trim()
    .replace(' ', "_")
    .chars()
    .filter(|c| c.is_alphanumeric() || *c == '_' || *c == '-')
    .collect::<String>()
    .to_lowercase();

slide.insert with at: -1 returns Missing 'at' parameter instead of a range error (rpc.rs:1406-1409):

let at = params
    .get("at")
    .and_then(|v| v.as_u64())                  // fails on negative
    .ok_or("Missing 'at' parameter")? as u32;  // wrong error

slide.saveContent accepts empty-string content with no validation. Combined with the fact that the first save of a slide doesn't trigger versioning, this means a slide can be silently wiped.

Suggested fix

  • deck.create: reject names that contain disallowed characters with a clear error (Invalid character '/' in name), or echo back a sanitized name with a warning field.
  • slide.insert: parse at with as_i64() first, then range-check (at >= 0) so the error reflects reality.
  • slide.saveContent: at minimum, validate non-empty (or accept empty but document it). Separately, ensure versioning fires on overwrite of existing slides.

Implementation Spec for Issue #35

Objective

Harden the JSON-RPC API surface against destructive operations on arbitrary paths, standardize parameter naming across deck/slide methods, and replace silent input mangling with explicit validation errors.

Scope decisions

  • Scope (in): changes to hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs, hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs, hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs, hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs, hero_slides_server/openrpc.json, the dashboard JS in hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js, and the API reference doc.
  • Scope (out): redesign of the registry/state model; deck path field semantics inside ServerState.decks; the bg.* namespace already uses path for a different purpose (deck path) and is left unchanged; the generated client file openrpc.client.generated.rs is produced by the openrpc_client! macro from openrpc.json at build time and is regenerated automatically.
  • Breaking-change tradeoff for group #2: Standardizing on deck_path is a wire-format breaking change for any external caller that uses the old path parameter against deck.scan, deck.get, deck.delete, deck.rename, deck.duplicate, deck.pdf, deck.pdfAsync, deck.pdfJobStatus, deck.pdfJobLogs, deck.getTheme, deck.saveTheme, deck.listThemes. Recommendation: dual-accept transition. For one release, every renamed method accepts BOTH deck_path (preferred) and path (deprecated, logs a warning). The OpenRPC spec advertises deck_path only. Internal UI is migrated to deck_path in the same change. A follow-up issue removes the path alias after one release.
  • Note on deck.scan: this method takes a root directory to scan (not a deck), so semantically deck_path is a misnomer. Recommendation: rename its param to root_path (with path accepted as deprecated alias). Calling out separately because it is not symmetric with the other rename.
  • Note on deck.create: the existing parent_path param is correct (it is not a deck path) and stays as-is. Only the silent name sanitization is changed.

Files to Modify/Create

  • crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs — deck_create requires existing parent and refuses pre-existing target; deck_delete requires .slides marker; deck_duplicate reuses the safer create path.
  • crates/hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs — add NotADeck { path: String } variant for the marker check (or reuse InvalidInput — see Step 1).
  • crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs — add a param_string() helper for dual-name extraction, rewrite handle_deck_create to reject mangled names, rewrite handle_slide_insert to use as_i64()+range-check, rewrite handle_slide_save_content to validate non-empty, migrate every path-based deck handler to read both names with deprecation warning logging.
  • crates/hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs — same dual-name extraction in handle_deck_pdf_async, handle_deck_pdf_job_status, handle_deck_pdf_job_logs.
  • crates/hero_slides_server/openrpc.json — rename path to deck_path (or root_path for deck.scan) on the listed methods; regenerated client picks this up automatically.
  • crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js — every rpc('deck.X', { path: ... }) call switched to { deck_path: ... } (and { root_path: ... } for deck.scan).
  • crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md — update parameter names in the reference table.

Implementation Plan

Step 1: Library-level safety for deck create/delete/duplicate

Files: crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs, crates/hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs
Dependencies: none
Tasks:

  • In error.rs, reuse the existing InvalidInput(String) variant. No new variant required (keeps the public error enum stable). All new failure modes below return HeroSlidesError::InvalidInput("...") with a clear message.
  • In deck.rs::deck_create (lines 394-405):
    • Replace std::fs::create_dir_all(deck_path)? with: validate that deck_path.parent() exists and is a directory (InvalidInput("parent directory does not exist: <parent>") otherwise), and that deck_path does not already exist (InvalidInput("path already exists: <p>") otherwise), then call std::fs::create_dir(deck_path)? (single-level create).
    • Replace the inner std::fs::create_dir_all(deck_path.join("output"))? with std::fs::create_dir(deck_path.join("output"))? since the parent (deck_path) just got created.
  • In deck.rs::deck_delete (lines 411-414):
    • Before remove_dir_all, require either deck_path.join(".slides").is_file() OR (defensive fallback) the deck exists in-registry via the caller. The library function does not have access to server state, so the check is the marker file. Return HeroSlidesError::InvalidInput(format!("not a deck (missing .slides marker): {}", deck_path.display())) if absent.
  • In deck.rs::deck_duplicate / copy_dir_recursive (lines 445-473):
    • At line 461, copy_dir_recursive calls std::fs::create_dir_all(dst)?. The top-level dst from deck_duplicate should not already exist; the existing precondition in deck_duplicate does not check that. Add: before calling copy_dir_recursive, return InvalidInput("path already exists: <new_path>") if new_path.exists(). Internal recursion still uses create_dir_all for nested subdirs (which is correct for the recursion) — leave that alone.

Step 2: Add param_string dual-name helper in rpc.rs

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs
Dependencies: none (independent of Step 1)
Tasks:

  • Add a private helper near the top of the handlers section: 
    /// Extract a string param, accepting `primary` first and falling back to `legacy`.
/// Logs a deprecation warning when only `legacy` is present.
fn param_string(params: &Value, primary: &str, legacy: Option<&str>, method: &str)
    -> Result<String, String>
{
    if let Some(s) = params.get(primary).and_then(|v| v.as_str()) {
        return Ok(s.to_string());
    }
    if let Some(legacy_name) = legacy {
        if let Some(s) = params.get(legacy_name).and_then(|v| v.as_str()) {
            tracing::warn!(
                "{method}: parameter '{legacy_name}' is deprecated, use '{primary}'"
            );
            return Ok(s.to_string());
        }
    }
    Err(format!("Missing '{primary}' parameter"))
}
  • This helper is reused by Step 4.

Step 3: Fix deck.create silent sanitization

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs (handle_deck_create, lines 1712-1791)
Dependencies: none
Tasks:

  • Replace the silent character-stripping block (lines 1724-1735) with strict validation:
    • Trim whitespace; if empty, error "deck name must not be empty".
    • Define the allowed pattern: ASCII alphanumeric, _, -. Reject if any char is outside the set with error "deck name contains disallowed characters; allowed: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ -".
    • Reject if name starts with . or - (filesystem-hostile) with "deck name must not start with '.' or '-'".
    • Apply ONLY two non-mangling normalizations and document them in the error message if they fire — actually, do NOT silently transform. Reject ' ' in input outright (caller must pass snake_case). This makes the contract explicit.
    • Use the validated name verbatim as the directory name.
  • Update the response payload to keep name reflecting the validated input (no longer a different value than the caller sent).
  • Apply the same strict validation in handle_deck_rename (lines 1816-1863) and handle_deck_duplicate (lines 1865-1924). Extract the validation into a private fn validate_deck_name(s: &str) -> Result<String, String> to share.

Step 4: Migrate path params to deck_path (with deprecation alias)

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs, crates/hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs
Dependencies: Step 2
Tasks:

  • In rpc.rs, rewrite parameter extraction in each of the following handlers using param_string(params, "deck_path", Some("path"), "<method>"):
    • handle_deck_get (line 472)
    • handle_deck_delete (line 1793)
    • handle_deck_rename (line 1816)
    • handle_deck_duplicate (line 1865)
    • handle_deck_pdf (line 593)
    • handle_deck_get_theme (line 1601)
    • handle_deck_save_theme (line 1620)
    • handle_deck_list_themes (line 1641)
  • For handle_deck_scan (line 405), use param_string(params, "root_path", Some("path"), "deck.scan") — semantically correct name.
  • In generate_job.rs, same migration in:
    • handle_deck_pdf_async (line 565)
    • handle_deck_pdf_job_status (line 587)
    • handle_deck_pdf_job_logs (line 599)
  • In handle_deck_get_theme response (line 1615), echo back deck_path instead of path in the JSON body, and also update the duplicated key in handle_deck_delete response (line 1813) to include both path (for backwards compat in payload) AND deck_path. Document that path field in the response is also deprecated; consumers should read deck_path. The minimal change: keep path field in responses unchanged this release, add deck_path alongside. Same for handle_deck_rename, handle_deck_duplicate response payloads.

Step 5: Fix slide.insert negative index error

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs (handle_slide_insert, lines 1400-1432)
Dependencies: none (parallel with Steps 1-4)
Tasks:

  • Replace the as_u64() + as u32 pattern at lines 1406-1409 with: 
    let at_i = params
    .get("at")
    .and_then(|v| v.as_i64())
    .ok_or("Missing or non-integer 'at' parameter")?;
if at_i < 0 {
    return Err(format!("'at' must be >= 0, got {at_i}"));
}
if at_i > u32::MAX as i64 {
    return Err(format!("'at' is too large: {at_i}"));
}
let at = at_i as u32;
  • Confirm the lib function slide_insert at deck.rs:938 documents that position is 1-indexed; if at == 0 should also be rejected, add if at_i < 1 check instead. Recommendation: at_i < 1 because insert_slide documents 1-indexed positions.

Step 6: Fix slide.saveContent empty-content acceptance

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs (handle_slide_save_content, lines 1176-1204)
Dependencies: none (parallel)
Tasks:

  • After extracting content (line 1187), add: 
    if content.is_empty() {
    return Err("'content' must not be empty (use slide.delete to remove a slide)".into());
}
  • This is the breaking-but-defensible choice. Document the new contract in the OpenRPC param description (Step 7).

Step 7: Update OpenRPC spec (openrpc.json)

Files: crates/hero_slides_server/openrpc.json
Dependencies: Step 4 (semantics must match)
Tasks:

  • For methods listed in Step 4, rename the name field of the path param from "path" to "deck_path" and update the description accordingly.
  • For deck.scan, rename param path -> root_path.
  • For deck.create, update the name param description to reflect strict validation (no longer "will be sanitized to lowercase snake_case").
  • For slide.saveContent, update the content param description to "must be non-empty".
  • For slide.insert, update the at param description to "1-indexed position; must be >= 1".
  • Note in each method's description: "The legacy parameter name path is accepted but deprecated and emits a server-side warning; it will be removed in a future release."
  • The generated client (openrpc.client.generated.rs) is rebuilt by the openrpc_client! macro on next compile; no manual edit needed.

Step 8: Update dashboard JS callers

Files: crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js
Dependencies: Step 4 (server must accept new name; safe because Step 4 also keeps the old name)
Tasks:
Replace the following call sites verbatim:

  • Line 411: rpc('deck.listThemes', { path: deckPath }) -> { deck_path: deckPath }.
  • Line 529: rpc('deck.get', { path }) -> { deck_path: path }.
  • Line 2674: rpc('deck.get', { path }) -> { deck_path: path }.
  • Line 2721: rpc('deck.pdfAsync', { path }) -> { deck_path: path }.
  • Line 2747: rpc('deck.pdfJobLogs', { path, lines: 2000 }) -> { deck_path: path, lines: 2000 }.
  • Line 2760: rpc('deck.pdfJobStatus', { path }) -> { deck_path: path }.
  • Line 2882: rpc('deck.delete', { path }) -> { deck_path: path }.
  • Line 2900: rpc('deck.rename', { path, new_name }) -> { deck_path: path, new_name }.
  • Line 2915: rpc('deck.duplicate', { path, new_name }) -> { deck_path: path, new_name }.
  • Line 2943: rpc('deck.scan', { path }) -> { root_path: path }.
  • Line 3549: rpc('deck.getTheme', { path: selectedDeckPath }) -> { deck_path: selectedDeckPath }.
  • Line 3590: rpc('deck.saveTheme', { path: selectedDeckPath, content }) -> { deck_path: selectedDeckPath, content }.
  • Line 3756: rpc('deck.get', { path: versionDeckPath }) -> { deck_path: versionDeckPath }.
  • Line 5359: rpc('deck.scan', { path: scanPath }) -> { root_path: scanPath }.
  • Line 5542: { method: 'deck.pdfJobLogs', params: { path: ..., lines: 5000 } } -> params: { deck_path: ..., lines: 5000 }.
  • Leave line 4208 (deck.create) as-is — parent_path is unchanged.

Step 9: Update API reference doc

Files: crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md
Dependencies: Step 7
Tasks:

  • For each method whose param renamed in Step 4/7, update the param table to show deck_path (or root_path for deck.scan).
  • Add a "Deprecation notice" section listing the previous name path as accepted-but-deprecated.

Step 10: Tests

Files: new file crates/hero_slides_lib/tests/deck_safety_test.rs; existing crates/hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs may need adjustment if name strictness breaks any test fixture
Dependencies: Step 1, Step 3
Tasks:

  • New unit tests in hero_slides_lib:
    • deck_delete on a directory without .slides marker returns InvalidInput.
    • deck_create on a path whose parent does not exist returns InvalidInput.
    • deck_create on a pre-existing path returns InvalidInput.
    • deck_duplicate to a target that already exists returns InvalidInput.
  • New unit tests in hero_slides_server (or integration test):
    • handle_slide_insert with at: -1 returns a range error mentioning >= 1, not Missing 'at'.
    • handle_slide_save_content with content: "" returns the empty-content error.
    • handle_deck_create with name: "Foo Bar!" returns disallowed-character error (no longer silently sanitized).
    • handle_deck_get accepts {deck_path: ...} and (legacy) {path: ...} and produces the same result; warning is logged.
  • Audit hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs for any test that creates a deck via deck_create with a path whose parent does not yet exist — if so, fix the test to mkdir the parent first.

Acceptance Criteria

  • deck.delete on an arbitrary writable directory without a .slides marker is rejected with a clear error and the directory is not removed.
  • deck.create on a parent path that does not exist is rejected (no silent multi-level mkdir).
  • deck.create with a name containing whitespace, punctuation, or other disallowed characters is rejected; valid names succeed and the response name field equals the input.
  • All deck-* RPC methods that referred to a deck path accept deck_path (preferred) and the legacy path (with a deprecation warning logged).
  • deck.scan accepts root_path (preferred) and the legacy path with deprecation warning.
  • slide.insert with at: -1 returns a range error referencing the bound, not a missing-parameter error.
  • slide.saveContent with empty content returns an explicit empty-content error.
  • All UI calls in dashboard.js use the new parameter names; manual smoke test of the dashboard (list, scan, create, rename, duplicate, delete, get, theme load/save, PDF) all succeed.
  • openrpc.json reflects the new param names; the generated client compiles.
  • All existing tests in hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs still pass (after any necessary parent-directory fixups).
  • New tests covering each fix above are added and pass.

Risks / Notes

  • Generated client churn: the openrpc_client! macro emits typed Rust functions whose argument names match openrpc.json. Renaming params will rename generated function signatures. There are currently no internal Rust callers of the SDK methods affected (verified by grep on hero_slides_sdk), so this is safe internally; downstream users of hero_slides_sdk will see a compile error and must rename arguments. Acceptable as a coordinated breaking change.
  • bg. methods use path for deck path*: these were not listed in the issue and are deliberately left untouched to keep this change focused. A follow-up issue should normalize them too.
  • Response payload field path: keeping the legacy field in responses (alongside deck_path) preserves callers reading the response. Removing it later is a separate breaking change; not in this issue.
  • deck.scan semantic rename: choosing root_path over deck_path is more accurate but introduces a third parameter name. The dual-accept transition handles this cleanly, but reviewers should explicitly sign off on this naming.
  • Strict name validation in deck.create is a behavior change: callers that previously relied on auto-sanitization (e.g., passing "My Deck") will now see an error. The dashboard does not auto-sanitize on the client side; UX should be updated to either pre-sanitize before calling or surface the error to the user. Recommend adding client-side normalization in dashboard.js line 4208 before the RPC call (e.g., replace spaces with _, strip disallowed chars, lowercase) and pass the normalized name; this keeps the user-visible behavior unchanged while making the wire contract strict.
  • Deprecation removal: schedule a follow-up issue to remove the path aliases after one release. Tag deprecation log lines with a consistent string ("deprecated parameter") so they are easy to grep in logs.
## Implementation Spec for Issue #35 ### Objective Harden the JSON-RPC API surface against destructive operations on arbitrary paths, standardize parameter naming across deck/slide methods, and replace silent input mangling with explicit validation errors. ### Scope decisions - **Scope (in)**: changes to `hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs`, `hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs`, `hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs`, `hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs`, `hero_slides_server/openrpc.json`, the dashboard JS in `hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js`, and the API reference doc. - **Scope (out)**: redesign of the registry/state model; deck `path` field semantics inside `ServerState.decks`; the `bg.*` namespace already uses `path` for a different purpose (deck path) and is left unchanged; the generated client file `openrpc.client.generated.rs` is produced by the `openrpc_client!` macro from `openrpc.json` at build time and is regenerated automatically. - **Breaking-change tradeoff for group #2**: Standardizing on `deck_path` is a wire-format breaking change for any external caller that uses the old `path` parameter against `deck.scan`, `deck.get`, `deck.delete`, `deck.rename`, `deck.duplicate`, `deck.pdf`, `deck.pdfAsync`, `deck.pdfJobStatus`, `deck.pdfJobLogs`, `deck.getTheme`, `deck.saveTheme`, `deck.listThemes`. **Recommendation: dual-accept transition.** For one release, every renamed method accepts BOTH `deck_path` (preferred) and `path` (deprecated, logs a warning). The OpenRPC spec advertises `deck_path` only. Internal UI is migrated to `deck_path` in the same change. A follow-up issue removes the `path` alias after one release. - **Note on `deck.scan`**: this method takes a *root directory to scan* (not a deck), so semantically `deck_path` is a misnomer. **Recommendation: rename its param to `root_path`** (with `path` accepted as deprecated alias). Calling out separately because it is not symmetric with the other rename. - **Note on `deck.create`**: the existing `parent_path` param is correct (it is not a deck path) and stays as-is. Only the silent name sanitization is changed. ### Files to Modify/Create - `crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs` — `deck_create` requires existing parent and refuses pre-existing target; `deck_delete` requires `.slides` marker; `deck_duplicate` reuses the safer create path. - `crates/hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs` — add `NotADeck { path: String }` variant for the marker check (or reuse `InvalidInput` — see Step 1). - `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs` — add a `param_string()` helper for dual-name extraction, rewrite `handle_deck_create` to reject mangled names, rewrite `handle_slide_insert` to use `as_i64()`+range-check, rewrite `handle_slide_save_content` to validate non-empty, migrate every `path`-based deck handler to read both names with deprecation warning logging. - `crates/hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs` — same dual-name extraction in `handle_deck_pdf_async`, `handle_deck_pdf_job_status`, `handle_deck_pdf_job_logs`. - `crates/hero_slides_server/openrpc.json` — rename `path` to `deck_path` (or `root_path` for `deck.scan`) on the listed methods; regenerated client picks this up automatically. - `crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js` — every `rpc('deck.X', { path: ... })` call switched to `{ deck_path: ... }` (and `{ root_path: ... }` for `deck.scan`). - `crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md` — update parameter names in the reference table. ### Implementation Plan #### Step 1: Library-level safety for deck create/delete/duplicate Files: `crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs`, `crates/hero_slides_lib/src/error.rs` Dependencies: none Tasks: - In `error.rs`, reuse the existing `InvalidInput(String)` variant. No new variant required (keeps the public error enum stable). All new failure modes below return `HeroSlidesError::InvalidInput("...")` with a clear message. - In `deck.rs::deck_create` (lines 394-405): - Replace `std::fs::create_dir_all(deck_path)?` with: validate that `deck_path.parent()` exists and is a directory (`InvalidInput("parent directory does not exist: <parent>")` otherwise), and that `deck_path` does not already exist (`InvalidInput("path already exists: <p>")` otherwise), then call `std::fs::create_dir(deck_path)?` (single-level create). - Replace the inner `std::fs::create_dir_all(deck_path.join("output"))?` with `std::fs::create_dir(deck_path.join("output"))?` since the parent (`deck_path`) just got created. - In `deck.rs::deck_delete` (lines 411-414): - Before `remove_dir_all`, require either `deck_path.join(".slides").is_file()` OR (defensive fallback) the deck exists in-registry via the caller. The library function does not have access to server state, so the check is the marker file. Return `HeroSlidesError::InvalidInput(format!("not a deck (missing .slides marker): {}", deck_path.display()))` if absent. - In `deck.rs::deck_duplicate` / `copy_dir_recursive` (lines 445-473): - At line 461, `copy_dir_recursive` calls `std::fs::create_dir_all(dst)?`. The top-level dst from `deck_duplicate` should not already exist; the existing precondition in `deck_duplicate` does not check that. Add: before calling `copy_dir_recursive`, return `InvalidInput("path already exists: <new_path>")` if `new_path.exists()`. Internal recursion still uses `create_dir_all` for nested subdirs (which is correct for the recursion) — leave that alone. #### Step 2: Add `param_string` dual-name helper in rpc.rs Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs` Dependencies: none (independent of Step 1) Tasks: - Add a private helper near the top of the handlers section: ```rust /// Extract a string param, accepting `primary` first and falling back to `legacy`. /// Logs a deprecation warning when only `legacy` is present. fn param_string(params: &Value, primary: &str, legacy: Option<&str>, method: &str) -> Result<String, String> { if let Some(s) = params.get(primary).and_then(|v| v.as_str()) { return Ok(s.to_string()); } if let Some(legacy_name) = legacy { if let Some(s) = params.get(legacy_name).and_then(|v| v.as_str()) { tracing::warn!( "{method}: parameter '{legacy_name}' is deprecated, use '{primary}'" ); return Ok(s.to_string()); } } Err(format!("Missing '{primary}' parameter")) } ``` - This helper is reused by Step 4. #### Step 3: Fix `deck.create` silent sanitization Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs` (`handle_deck_create`, lines 1712-1791) Dependencies: none Tasks: - Replace the silent character-stripping block (lines 1724-1735) with strict validation: - Trim whitespace; if empty, error `"deck name must not be empty"`. - Define the allowed pattern: ASCII alphanumeric, `_`, `-`. Reject if any char is outside the set with error `"deck name contains disallowed characters; allowed: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ -"`. - Reject if name starts with `.` or `-` (filesystem-hostile) with `"deck name must not start with '.' or '-'"`. - Apply ONLY two non-mangling normalizations and document them in the error message if they fire — actually, do NOT silently transform. Reject `' '` in input outright (caller must pass snake_case). This makes the contract explicit. - Use the validated name verbatim as the directory name. - Update the response payload to keep `name` reflecting the validated input (no longer a different value than the caller sent). - Apply the same strict validation in `handle_deck_rename` (lines 1816-1863) and `handle_deck_duplicate` (lines 1865-1924). Extract the validation into a private fn `validate_deck_name(s: &str) -> Result<String, String>` to share. #### Step 4: Migrate `path` params to `deck_path` (with deprecation alias) Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs`, `crates/hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs` Dependencies: Step 2 Tasks: - In `rpc.rs`, rewrite parameter extraction in each of the following handlers using `param_string(params, "deck_path", Some("path"), "<method>")`: - `handle_deck_get` (line 472) - `handle_deck_delete` (line 1793) - `handle_deck_rename` (line 1816) - `handle_deck_duplicate` (line 1865) - `handle_deck_pdf` (line 593) - `handle_deck_get_theme` (line 1601) - `handle_deck_save_theme` (line 1620) - `handle_deck_list_themes` (line 1641) - For `handle_deck_scan` (line 405), use `param_string(params, "root_path", Some("path"), "deck.scan")` — semantically correct name. - In `generate_job.rs`, same migration in: - `handle_deck_pdf_async` (line 565) - `handle_deck_pdf_job_status` (line 587) - `handle_deck_pdf_job_logs` (line 599) - In `handle_deck_get_theme` response (line 1615), echo back `deck_path` instead of `path` in the JSON body, and also update the duplicated key in `handle_deck_delete` response (line 1813) to include both `path` (for backwards compat in payload) AND `deck_path`. Document that `path` field in the response is also deprecated; consumers should read `deck_path`. The minimal change: keep `path` field in responses unchanged this release, add `deck_path` alongside. Same for `handle_deck_rename`, `handle_deck_duplicate` response payloads. #### Step 5: Fix `slide.insert` negative index error Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs` (`handle_slide_insert`, lines 1400-1432) Dependencies: none (parallel with Steps 1-4) Tasks: - Replace the `as_u64()` + `as u32` pattern at lines 1406-1409 with: ```rust let at_i = params .get("at") .and_then(|v| v.as_i64()) .ok_or("Missing or non-integer 'at' parameter")?; if at_i < 0 { return Err(format!("'at' must be >= 0, got {at_i}")); } if at_i > u32::MAX as i64 { return Err(format!("'at' is too large: {at_i}")); } let at = at_i as u32; ``` - Confirm the lib function `slide_insert` at `deck.rs:938` documents that `position` is 1-indexed; if `at == 0` should also be rejected, add `if at_i < 1` check instead. **Recommendation: `at_i < 1`** because `insert_slide` documents 1-indexed positions. #### Step 6: Fix `slide.saveContent` empty-content acceptance Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs` (`handle_slide_save_content`, lines 1176-1204) Dependencies: none (parallel) Tasks: - After extracting `content` (line 1187), add: ```rust if content.is_empty() { return Err("'content' must not be empty (use slide.delete to remove a slide)".into()); } ``` - This is the breaking-but-defensible choice. Document the new contract in the OpenRPC param description (Step 7). #### Step 7: Update OpenRPC spec (`openrpc.json`) Files: `crates/hero_slides_server/openrpc.json` Dependencies: Step 4 (semantics must match) Tasks: - For methods listed in Step 4, rename the `name` field of the path param from `"path"` to `"deck_path"` and update the `description` accordingly. - For `deck.scan`, rename param `path` -> `root_path`. - For `deck.create`, update the `name` param description to reflect strict validation (no longer "will be sanitized to lowercase snake_case"). - For `slide.saveContent`, update the `content` param description to "must be non-empty". - For `slide.insert`, update the `at` param description to "1-indexed position; must be >= 1". - Note in each method's `description`: "The legacy parameter name `path` is accepted but deprecated and emits a server-side warning; it will be removed in a future release." - The generated client (`openrpc.client.generated.rs`) is rebuilt by the `openrpc_client!` macro on next compile; no manual edit needed. #### Step 8: Update dashboard JS callers Files: `crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js` Dependencies: Step 4 (server must accept new name; safe because Step 4 also keeps the old name) Tasks: Replace the following call sites verbatim: - Line 411: `rpc('deck.listThemes', { path: deckPath })` -> `{ deck_path: deckPath }`. - Line 529: `rpc('deck.get', { path })` -> `{ deck_path: path }`. - Line 2674: `rpc('deck.get', { path })` -> `{ deck_path: path }`. - Line 2721: `rpc('deck.pdfAsync', { path })` -> `{ deck_path: path }`. - Line 2747: `rpc('deck.pdfJobLogs', { path, lines: 2000 })` -> `{ deck_path: path, lines: 2000 }`. - Line 2760: `rpc('deck.pdfJobStatus', { path })` -> `{ deck_path: path }`. - Line 2882: `rpc('deck.delete', { path })` -> `{ deck_path: path }`. - Line 2900: `rpc('deck.rename', { path, new_name })` -> `{ deck_path: path, new_name }`. - Line 2915: `rpc('deck.duplicate', { path, new_name })` -> `{ deck_path: path, new_name }`. - Line 2943: `rpc('deck.scan', { path })` -> `{ root_path: path }`. - Line 3549: `rpc('deck.getTheme', { path: selectedDeckPath })` -> `{ deck_path: selectedDeckPath }`. - Line 3590: `rpc('deck.saveTheme', { path: selectedDeckPath, content })` -> `{ deck_path: selectedDeckPath, content }`. - Line 3756: `rpc('deck.get', { path: versionDeckPath })` -> `{ deck_path: versionDeckPath }`. - Line 5359: `rpc('deck.scan', { path: scanPath })` -> `{ root_path: scanPath }`. - Line 5542: `{ method: 'deck.pdfJobLogs', params: { path: ..., lines: 5000 } }` -> `params: { deck_path: ..., lines: 5000 }`. - Leave line 4208 (`deck.create`) as-is — `parent_path` is unchanged. #### Step 9: Update API reference doc Files: `crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md` Dependencies: Step 7 Tasks: - For each method whose param renamed in Step 4/7, update the param table to show `deck_path` (or `root_path` for `deck.scan`). - Add a "Deprecation notice" section listing the previous name `path` as accepted-but-deprecated. #### Step 10: Tests Files: new file `crates/hero_slides_lib/tests/deck_safety_test.rs`; existing `crates/hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs` may need adjustment if name strictness breaks any test fixture Dependencies: Step 1, Step 3 Tasks: - New unit tests in `hero_slides_lib`: - `deck_delete` on a directory without `.slides` marker returns `InvalidInput`. - `deck_create` on a path whose parent does not exist returns `InvalidInput`. - `deck_create` on a pre-existing path returns `InvalidInput`. - `deck_duplicate` to a target that already exists returns `InvalidInput`. - New unit tests in `hero_slides_server` (or integration test): - `handle_slide_insert` with `at: -1` returns a range error mentioning `>= 1`, not `Missing 'at'`. - `handle_slide_save_content` with `content: ""` returns the empty-content error. - `handle_deck_create` with `name: "Foo Bar!"` returns disallowed-character error (no longer silently sanitized). - `handle_deck_get` accepts `{deck_path: ...}` and (legacy) `{path: ...}` and produces the same result; warning is logged. - Audit `hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs` for any test that creates a deck via `deck_create` with a path whose parent does not yet exist — if so, fix the test to mkdir the parent first. ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `deck.delete` on an arbitrary writable directory without a `.slides` marker is rejected with a clear error and the directory is not removed. - [ ] `deck.create` on a parent path that does not exist is rejected (no silent multi-level mkdir). - [ ] `deck.create` with a name containing whitespace, punctuation, or other disallowed characters is rejected; valid names succeed and the response `name` field equals the input. - [ ] All deck-* RPC methods that referred to a deck path accept `deck_path` (preferred) and the legacy `path` (with a deprecation warning logged). - [ ] `deck.scan` accepts `root_path` (preferred) and the legacy `path` with deprecation warning. - [ ] `slide.insert` with `at: -1` returns a range error referencing the bound, not a missing-parameter error. - [ ] `slide.saveContent` with empty `content` returns an explicit empty-content error. - [ ] All UI calls in `dashboard.js` use the new parameter names; manual smoke test of the dashboard (list, scan, create, rename, duplicate, delete, get, theme load/save, PDF) all succeed. - [ ] `openrpc.json` reflects the new param names; the generated client compiles. - [ ] All existing tests in `hero_slides_rhai/tests/integration_test.rs` still pass (after any necessary parent-directory fixups). - [ ] New tests covering each fix above are added and pass. ### Risks / Notes - **Generated client churn**: the `openrpc_client!` macro emits typed Rust functions whose argument names match `openrpc.json`. Renaming params will rename generated function signatures. There are currently no internal Rust callers of the SDK methods affected (verified by grep on `hero_slides_sdk`), so this is safe internally; downstream users of `hero_slides_sdk` will see a compile error and must rename arguments. Acceptable as a coordinated breaking change. - **bg.* methods use `path` for deck path**: these were not listed in the issue and are deliberately left untouched to keep this change focused. A follow-up issue should normalize them too. - **Response payload field `path`**: keeping the legacy field in responses (alongside `deck_path`) preserves callers reading the response. Removing it later is a separate breaking change; not in this issue. - **`deck.scan` semantic rename**: choosing `root_path` over `deck_path` is more accurate but introduces a third parameter name. The dual-accept transition handles this cleanly, but reviewers should explicitly sign off on this naming. - **Strict name validation in `deck.create`** is a behavior change: callers that previously relied on auto-sanitization (e.g., passing "My Deck") will now see an error. The dashboard does not auto-sanitize on the client side; UX should be updated to either pre-sanitize before calling or surface the error to the user. Recommend adding client-side normalization in `dashboard.js` line 4208 before the RPC call (e.g., replace spaces with `_`, strip disallowed chars, lowercase) and pass the normalized name; this keeps the user-visible behavior unchanged while making the wire contract strict. - **Deprecation removal**: schedule a follow-up issue to remove the `path` aliases after one release. Tag deprecation log lines with a consistent string (`"deprecated parameter"`) so they are easy to grep in logs.

Implementation Summary

All three issue groups implemented per the posted spec, on branch development.

Files modified

File Change
crates/hero_slides_lib/src/deck.rs deck_create requires existing parent and refuses pre-existing target; uses fs::create_dir (single-level). deck_delete requires .slides marker. deck_duplicate refuses pre-existing target.
crates/hero_slides_lib/Cargo.toml Added tempfile = "3" to [dev-dependencies].
crates/hero_slides_server/src/rpc.rs New pub(crate) param_string helper (dual-name extraction with deprecation log). New validate_deck_name helper. handle_deck_create, handle_deck_rename, handle_deck_duplicate use strict validation. handle_slide_insert uses as_i64 + range check (at >= 1). handle_slide_save_content rejects empty content. All deck-* path-taking handlers migrated to param_string("deck_path", Some("path"), ...). handle_deck_scan migrated to root_path with path legacy. Response payloads include both path and deck_path for transition.
crates/hero_slides_server/src/generate_job.rs Same migration for handle_deck_pdf_async, handle_deck_pdf_job_status, handle_deck_pdf_job_logs. Imports param_string from crate::rpc.
crates/hero_slides_server/openrpc.json Renamed path -> deck_path on 11 methods; path -> root_path on deck.scan. Updated descriptions for deck.create (strict name validation), slide.saveContent (must be non-empty), slide.insert (1-indexed). Added deprecation notes.
crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs Updated DeckScanInput { path: ... } -> DeckScanInput { root_path: ... } to match the regenerated SDK client.
crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js 15 RPC call sites migrated to new parameter names (deck_path or root_path).
crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md Added "Deprecation notice" section listing renamed methods and behavior changes.

Files created

File Content
crates/hero_slides_lib/tests/deck_safety_test.rs 6 integration tests: marker check on delete, parent-must-exist on create, no-pre-existing on create, happy path on create, no-pre-existing on duplicate.

Test results

cargo build --workspace: clean.

cargo test -p hero_slides_lib -p hero_slides_server:

Binary Passed Failed Ignored
hero_slides_lib unit 68 0 0
hero_slides_lib deck_safety_test 6 0 0
hero_slides_server unit (helpers) 8 0 0
hero_slides_lib doc tests 2 0 0
Total 84 0 0

All 14 newly-added tests pass. One pre-existing test (test_scan_decks) was updated to create the sub/ parent before calling deck_create, since the new precondition requires the parent to exist — assertion logic untouched.

Acceptance criteria

  • deck.delete on a directory without .slides marker is rejected; directory is not removed.
  • deck.create on a non-existent parent is rejected (no silent multi-level mkdir).
  • deck.create with a name containing whitespace, punctuation, or other disallowed characters is rejected; valid names are stored verbatim.
  • All renamed deck-* RPC methods accept deck_path (preferred) and the legacy path (with deprecation log).
  • deck.scan accepts root_path (preferred) and the legacy path.
  • slide.insert with at: -1 or at: 0 returns a range error referencing the bound, not a missing-parameter error.
  • slide.saveContent with empty content returns the explicit empty-content error.
  • All UI calls in dashboard.js use the new parameter names.
  • openrpc.json reflects the new param names; the generated client compiles; downstream caller in crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs was updated.
  • All workspace tests pass.
  • New tests cover each fix.

Notes / follow-ups

  • deck.readBackground was discovered using path: in the dashboard JS but is NOT in the issue scope (the server handler still only accepts path). Left as-is. Worth normalizing in a follow-up.
  • Several bg.* methods also use path for a deck path; out of scope here.
  • Response payloads on migrated methods now include BOTH path and deck_path for transition; removing the legacy path field is a separate breaking change for a future release.
  • The path legacy aliases on RPC inputs should be removed in a follow-up release; deprecation log lines use the consistent prefix <method>: parameter 'path' is deprecated, use 'deck_path' for easy grepping.
  • cargo test --workspace initially failed at compile-time on crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs because of the SDK rename — fixed in this change.

No commits have been made; the orchestrator will create a single commit on development after this summary is posted.

Added deprecation notes. | | `crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs` | Updated `DeckScanInput { path: ... }` -> `DeckScanInput { root_path: ... }` to match the regenerated SDK client. | | `crates/hero_slides_ui/static/js/dashboard.js` | 15 RPC call sites migrated to new parameter names (`deck_path` or `root_path`). | | `crates/hero_slides_ui/docs/api-reference.md` | Added "Deprecation notice" section listing renamed methods and behavior changes. | ### Files created | File | Content | |---|---| | `crates/hero_slides_lib/tests/deck_safety_test.rs` | 6 integration tests: marker check on delete, parent-must-exist on create, no-pre-existing on create, happy path on create, no-pre-existing on duplicate. | ### Test results `cargo build --workspace`: clean. `cargo test -p hero_slides_lib -p hero_slides_server`: | Binary | Passed | Failed | Ignored | |---|---:|---:|---:| | hero_slides_lib unit | 68 | 0 | 0 | | hero_slides_lib `deck_safety_test` | 6 | 0 | 0 | | hero_slides_server unit (helpers) | 8 | 0 | 0 | | hero_slides_lib doc tests | 2 | 0 | 0 | | **Total** | **84** | **0** | **0** | All 14 newly-added tests pass. One pre-existing test (`test_scan_decks`) was updated to create the `sub/` parent before calling `deck_create`, since the new precondition requires the parent to exist — assertion logic untouched. ### Acceptance criteria - [x] `deck.delete` on a directory without `.slides` marker is rejected; directory is not removed. - [x] `deck.create` on a non-existent parent is rejected (no silent multi-level mkdir). - [x] `deck.create` with a name containing whitespace, punctuation, or other disallowed characters is rejected; valid names are stored verbatim. - [x] All renamed deck-* RPC methods accept `deck_path` (preferred) and the legacy `path` (with deprecation log). - [x] `deck.scan` accepts `root_path` (preferred) and the legacy `path`. - [x] `slide.insert` with `at: -1` or `at: 0` returns a range error referencing the bound, not a missing-parameter error. - [x] `slide.saveContent` with empty `content` returns the explicit empty-content error. - [x] All UI calls in `dashboard.js` use the new parameter names. - [x] `openrpc.json` reflects the new param names; the generated client compiles; downstream caller in `crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs` was updated. - [x] All workspace tests pass. - [x] New tests cover each fix. ### Notes / follow-ups - `deck.readBackground` was discovered using `path:` in the dashboard JS but is NOT in the issue scope (the server handler still only accepts `path`). Left as-is. Worth normalizing in a follow-up. - Several `bg.*` methods also use `path` for a deck path; out of scope here. - Response payloads on migrated methods now include BOTH `path` and `deck_path` for transition; removing the legacy `path` field is a separate breaking change for a future release. - The `path` legacy aliases on RPC inputs should be removed in a follow-up release; deprecation log lines use the consistent prefix `<method>: parameter 'path' is deprecated, use 'deck_path'` for easy grepping. - `cargo test --workspace` initially failed at compile-time on `crates/hero_slides/src/main.rs` because of the SDK rename — fixed in this change.
