Harden API write and RPC authorization boundaries - #153
Conversation
Authenticated database and Storage clients could bypass route-level validation, rate limits, and identity checks, while privileged RPC grants exposed more data and work than their callers needed. Route sensitive mutations through the service client, constrain public reads and RPCs, revalidate CLI identities, verify uploaded image signatures, and validate untrusted API inputs.

38-45: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winMake the column-level handling symmetric in
hasAuthenticatedUsersUpdateGrant.Line 38 matches a bare
UPDATEtoken, so a column-level statement such asGRANT UPDATE (bio) ON public.users TO authenticatedsetsupdateGrantedto true. Line 43 then excludes column-level revokes from clearing the flag. A narrow grant therefore fails the assertion at line 221, and its matching narrow revoke cannot clear it.The stated intent is to detect a table-wide

Quote PostgREST ILIKE patterns so display-name punctuation remains searchable while filter syntax and wildcards stay escaped.
Keep profile saves compatible with the database's existing UTC fallback when settings sends an empty timezone.

Summary
Authenticated clients could write directly to Supabase tables and Storage outside the API routes, bypassing route validation, rate limits, identity revalidation, and file-content checks. Several privileged RPCs also inherited broad execution grants or returned data without the required ownership and privacy constraints.
Sensitive mutations now pass through authenticated server routes, privileged RPCs authorize each caller, and public reads expose only bounded, allow-listed data. Review follow-ups keep mixed-visibility streak batches available, validate post images against their declared type and final Storage size, preserve punctuation in user searches, reject PostgREST wildcard aliases, and treat a cleared timezone as UTC.
What changed
%and_as literals, rejects PostgREST's*wildcard alias, normalizes empty timezones to UTC, bounds pagination and batch work, and applies durable rate limits to profile and submission routes.0for inaccessible entries without aborting a streak batch, and restricts admin and legacy RPCs to the service role.Validation
