nousresearch--hermes-agent/gateway/relay/auth.py

"""Gateway-side relay authentication primitives. EXPERIMENTAL.

The connector⇄gateway channel is authenticated because a gateway may be
customer-managed and internet-exposed (see the connector repo
``docs/connector-gateway-auth-design.md``). This module is the **gateway half**
of two HMAC schemes whose wire bytes must match the connector's TypeScript
exactly:

1. **WS upgrade auth** (gateway → connector): the gateway presents
   ``Authorization: Bearer <token>`` on the ``/relay`` WebSocket upgrade, where
   ``token = make_upgrade_token(gateway_id, secret)``. Mirrors the connector's
   ``relayAuthToken.ts`` ``makeToken`` (``src/core/relayAuthToken.ts``):
   ``base64url(f"{payload}:{exp}:{sig}")`` with
   ``sig = HMAC_SHA256(f"{payload}:{exp}", secret).hexdigest()`` and
   ``payload == gateway_id``.

2. **Inbound delivery signature** (connector → gateway): the connector signs
   each inbound POST with the per-tenant *delivery key*, carried as
   ``x-relay-timestamp`` + ``x-relay-signature`` headers; the gateway verifies
   before accepting the event. Mirrors the connector's ``deliverySigning.ts``:
   ``sig = HMAC_SHA256(f"{ts}.{body_json}", key).hexdigest()`` over the EXACT
   request body bytes, with a replay-window skew check.

Both schemes use a **multi-secret verify list** (primary first, then a secondary
during a rotation window), exactly like ``api/src/handlers/stats_oauth.ts`` — so
a secret rotation doesn't invalidate outstanding tokens.

EXPERIMENTAL: may change without a deprecation cycle until ≥2 Class-1 platforms
validate the relay contract.
