…hannel header Client-side half of E2 usage-attribution (see the companion wave-gateway PR feat/usage-attribution-e2, and governance/plans/wave-skills-distribution/ E2-USAGE-ATTRIBUTION.md on wave-av/claude-workstation). getAuthHeaders() now adds X-Wave-Install-Channel when WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL is set in the environment, so a Skill/manifest-generated onboarding config can self-declare its install channel (e.g. skill-manifest) apart from a hand-written docs install (docs-manual), which wave-gateway allowlists and folds into a non-billing usage-ledger attribution dimension for quarterly reporting. Unset by default -- byte-identical to today for anyone who does not set it (verified manually: with the env var set the header is added, unset it is absent, everything else unchanged). No test runner exists on this repo main (confirmed) -- verified via type-check + lint (both clean) and a direct tsx smoke-run of getAuthHeaders() with/without the env var. Branched from origin/main rather than PR #92 (fix/gateway-base-url-91) to avoid taking a dependency on unreviewed, unmerged code -- a rebase conflict there is preferable.

🔍 README env-var table edited by hand but generated from .wave/repo.json
README.md states it is machine-generated from the grounded SSOT and verified by npm run verify. The new WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL row was added directly to README.md, but the corresponding "Environment variables" table in .wave/repo.json:429-448 still lists only WAVE_API_KEY and WAVE_BASE_URL. The next regeneration/verification pass will either drop this row or fail the check. Consider updating the SSOT entry as well.

🟨 Unvalidated environment value forwarded verbatim as an outbound HTTP header
WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL is copied straight into the X-Wave-Install-Channel header (src/auth.ts:40-41) with no format validation. Values containing CR/LF or other illegal header characters cause fetch to throw a TypeError, breaking every API call; arbitrary values are also sent upstream unfiltered (server-side allowlisting is only documented, not enforced here).

1. Invalid header value crash 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
getAuthHeaders() copies WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL verbatim into X-Wave-Install-Channel; if the value contains characters invalid for HTTP headers (e.g., CR/LF), fetch() header construction can throw/reject and break API calls. The code paths that call fetch() with these headers don’t locally guard against this, so the error will propagate to callers at runtime.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL` is injected into an outbound HTTP header without validation. If it contains illegal header characters (notably `\r` / `\n`), the runtime’s `fetch()`/`Headers` construction can throw/reject, causing request failures.
## Issue Context
`getAuthHeaders()` is used broadly as the default auth header source for API calls. Adding a quick validation here prevents configuration-induced runtime failures and gives operators a clear error message.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/auth.ts[34-42]
## Suggested fix
- Before setting `headers["X-Wave-Install-Channel"]`, validate the env value:
- Reject (throw a descriptive Error) or ignore (treat as unset) when it contains `\r` or `\n` (and optionally other control characters).
- Optionally cap length to a reasonable size to avoid oversized headers.
- Keep behavior unchanged when the variable is unset.

main rewrote src/auth.ts under #89 (api.wave.online default, WAVE_BASE_URL origin validation, PKG_VERSION User-Agent). Took main whole on every conflicted hunk and re-applied only the install-channel addition on top. - src/auth.ts: keep main`s doc block and DEFAULT_BASE_URL/API_KEY_CONSOLE_URL; re-add INSTALL_CHANNEL_HEADER. getAuthHeaders merged cleanly, so it now carries main`s PKG_VERSION User-Agent AND the optional header. - The env value is validated before it goes on the wire: a bare token, [A-Za-z0-9._-], 1-64 chars. It is attached verbatim to an outbound header, so CR/LF and other illegal header bytes are dropped rather than sent, and the length is bounded. It does NOT throw - the header is optional attribution and an unrecognised label is already recorded as untagged, so failing every tool call over a cosmetic label would be strictly worse. - README.md / .wave/repo.json: keep main`s corrected WAVE_BASE_URL row and append the WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL row to both, so the documented table survives the next regeneration from the facts SSOT. - CHANGELOG.md: keep every main Unreleased entry, fold the install-channel bullet in alongside them. Dropped the private-repo names and the internal plan path from the source comment and the changelog entry - public-repo-guard content policy blocks them. Verified: no main-only file is missing (git diff --diff-filter=D against origin/main is empty); delta vs origin/main is exactly the four intended files; package.json and package-lock.json are byte-identical to main. npm run lint, type-check, test (74/74) and check:capabilities all pass.

What
Client-side half of E2 usage-attribution — the measurement mechanism the economist
synthesis named to resolve the WATCH on funding a public WAVE Skills showcase repo
(not built here). Companion PR on
wave-av/wave-gateway:feat/usage-attribution-e2(server-side allowlist + ledger threading). Fullgrounding + honest limitations:
E2-USAGE-ATTRIBUTION.md(companion PR onwave-av/claude-workstation,governance/plans/wave-skills-distribution/).getAuthHeaders()now addsX-Wave-Install-ChannelwhenWAVE_INSTALL_CHANNELisset in the environment. This lets a Skill/manifest-generated onboarding config
self-declare its install channel (e.g.
skill-manifest) apart from a hand-writtendocs install (
docs-manual) — wave-gateway allowlists the value and folds it into anon-billing usage-ledger attribution dimension for quarterly reporting.
Unset by default — byte-identical to today for anyone who doesn't set it.
Why this exists (grounding, not a guess)
No MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, or otherwise) surfaces a genuine install-time
referrer — confirmed via WebSearch against current MCP spec docs. This package's own
getAuthHeaders()currently sends a staticUser-Agent: wave-mcp-server/0.1.0identical regardless of how the customer found WAVE, so today there is literally no
way to distinguish "discovered via the manifest" from "hand-installed after reading
docs" at the request layer.
WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNELis a new, WAVE-controlled,self-declared tag (like a UTM parameter) — not a network-verified signal, and the
phase file says so plainly.
Scope note
The other half of this tag — WAVE's manifest-generated onboarding snippet actually
setting
WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNEL=skill-manifestin the config it hands customers —belongs in
wave-docs-www#67(already shipped this session perdocs/wave-skills-distribution-e1-onboarding). Not touched here: that's a fourth reponot inspected in this pass; flagged as a fast-follow in the phase file instead of
built blind.
Branching note
Branched from
origin/main, not PR #92 (fix/gateway-base-url-91), to avoid taking adependency on unreviewed, unmerged code touching the same file (
src/auth.ts). A smallrebase conflict when #92 lands is preferable to stacking on an unreviewed PR.
Tests
This repo has no test runner on
main(confirmed — notestscript, no testfiles). Verified via:
npm run type-check— cleannpm run lint— clean (0 warnings)tsxexecution ofgetAuthHeaders()with and withoutWAVE_INSTALL_CHANNELset (output above) — proves the additive, byte-identical-when-unset behavior.
Also updated
README.md's environment-variable table andCHANGELOG.md.Deploy
No deploy — this is an npm package change; publishing a new version to npm is a
separate, explicit step not taken here. GitHub Actions is in a platform-wide outage
right now (per this task's brief) — not waiting on CI for that reason.

Note
Low Risk
Additive optional header on existing auth path with strict client-side validation and no behavior change when unset; does not alter API key handling or required config.
Overview
Adds optional usage-attribution tagging for WAVE API calls via a new
WAVE_INSTALL_CHANNELenvironment variable (documented inREADME.md,CHANGELOG.md, and.wave/repo.json).When set to a valid bare token (
[A-Za-z0-9._-], 1–64 chars after trim),getAuthHeaders()insrc/auth.tsattachesX-Wave-Install-Channelon every outbound request alongside the existing auth headers. Invalid or malformed values are silently omitted (no startup or per-call failure), mirroring the optional nature of the feature. Leaving the variable unset is unchanged — no header is sent.This supports self-declared install channels (e.g. Skill/manifest-generated
.mcp.jsonvs manual docs install) for gateway-side allowlisting and reporting; server recognition of specific labels is out of scope here.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e024be1. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
