POST /api/upload accepts a multipart file, spools it to a temp path while
hashing to SHA-256, hands the on-disk copy to clamd via INSTREAM, keeps
the file at uploads/<sha256>.bin on a clean verdict and discards it on
anything else. The response carries the (hash, size, verdict) tuple
signed by the service's ed25519 key — the artifact the manifest step
will attach to the APS1 record later.
For local dev on a box without ClamAV, MOCK_SCAN=clean|infected|error
short-circuits the TCP call while still draining the bytes end-to-end.
CLAMD_HOST / CLAMD_PORT / PROMETHEUS_MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES override the
defaults (127.0.0.1:3310, 2 GiB).
Service key lives at .keys/service.key (gitignored, 0600), generated on
first start if absent. The matching public key is served at
/.well-known/prometheus-service-key.json so clients can cache it per
origin. ed25519 chosen over BIP-137 because the scan report is a service
attestation, not a Bitcoin thing — the key never signs value, never
signs for a user, never touches the chain.
Canonicalisation walks the payload recursively (sorted keys at every
level, no whitespace). The first draft used JSON.stringify with a keys
array, which only serialises top-level keys from the array — nested
objects came out as {}, so the signature verified nothing useful.
/healthz pings clamd (or the mock) so monitors can tell when the scanner
is down.
The /submit page gets a working upload form that drives the endpoint
and renders the full signed response, so the whole chain is testable in
the browser as well as via curl.
One dependency added: busboy. Rolling our own multipart parser was the
obvious alternative; busboy is one small, maintained library with no
runtime deps of its own, and multipart RFC 7578 edge cases are not
places this project earns anything by rediscovering.
