fix(reliability): harden limiter JSON protocol

[seonghobae]

Purpose

Harden both sides of Noema's internal distributed rate-limiter JSON protocol. The Durable Object request boundary parses the media type exactly, while the caller refuses arbitrary successful 2xx responses or JSON-looking bytes under a non-JSON media type.

Exact identities

• current protected/live base: e60eff4c71dc4997b9990a79daa5069d6f5e2037
• predecessor implementation head before the latest review regression: 0374ff6608870b3e808f77cf765cd9be98092c24
• current exact head: 591a8988894fdef3f98b98c1e1ae6e70c60137dc
• branch: fix/rate-limit-content-type-boundary

Security contract

• Request boundary accepts exact application/json case-insensitively with ordinary parameters and rejects token embedding such as text/plain; profile=application/json.
• Caller accepts a limiter decision only with exact HTTP 200, an application/json media type, and the existing validated decision schema.
• HTTP 201, non-JSON media types, malformed decisions, and unavailable bindings continue to fail closed.
• Rate-limit semantics, bucket identity, persistence, limits, and production error mapping are unchanged.

Current review correction

The current CodeRabbit finding was verified against exact head 0374ff6608870b3e808f77cf765cd9be98092c24 and was valid as a regression-strengthening request. Exact head 591a8988894fdef3f98b98c1e1ae6e70c60137dc now:

• exercises the producer's actual application/json; charset=utf-8 response media type;
• rejects text/plain; profile=application/json on the caller response path so substring matching cannot pass;
• exercises NoemaRateLimiter.fetch end-to-end with the same misleading request media type and requires HTTP 415 plus { ok: false, error: "content_type_required" };
• leaves production source unchanged.

The addressed inline review thread is resolved. Any new finding must be revalidated against the current exact head.

Verification boundary

Fresh application ci, reviewer-ci, and protected-base-eligible central Security Scan were triggered for exact head 591a8988894fdef3f98b98c1e1ae6e70c60137dc and are currently queued, therefore non-passing. No predecessor CI, review, scanner, coverage, model, release, or deployment evidence transfers.

Before merge, independently re-resolve protected main, exact head/ref/ancestry, workflow checkout SHAs, live rulesets and central Security Scan authority, require exact 100% owned production statement/branch/function/line coverage with realistic tests, and require zero valid unresolved findings. Independent non-author approval is required only if live policy genuinely requires it.

No limiter relaxation, audit waiver, protection bypass, dependency change, version bump, release, deployment, outbound-license choice, or acquisition-readiness claim.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

isJsonMediaType를 추가해 JSON 미디어 타입을 정규화하고 정확히 판별한다. 분산 rate limiter는 HTTP 200 JSON 응답만 허용한다. Durable Object 요청에도 동일한 검증을 적용하고 테스트를 추가했다.

Changes

Rate-limit 프로토콜 검증

Layer / File(s)	Summary
JSON 미디어 타입 검증 src/rate-limit.ts, test/rate-limit-media-type.test.ts	isJsonMediaType가 대소문자, 공백, charset을 정규화한다. application/json만 허용한다. Durable Object는 유사한 text/plain 프로필을 415와 content_type_required 오류로 거부한다.
분산 응답 프로토콜 검증 src/rate-limit.ts, test/rate-limit-response-protocol.test.ts	분산 rate limiter는 정확한 HTTP 200과 JSON 미디어 타입을 요구한다. HTTP 201 또는 text/plain 응답은 DistributedRateLimitUnavailable로 거부한다.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3f594

The PR tightens limiter communication by requiring exact JSON media types and HTTP 200 responses, failing closed on misleading or malformed responses. Current-head evidence addresses the prior test gap, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks.

Verify exact request/response JSON media-type authentication, strict HTTP 200 decision contract, unchanged limiter semantics, and fail-closed malformed/unavailable behavior. Do not transfer conclusions from predecessor heads.
