Summary

  • Rename token-budget to session-budget. The plugin is not limited to observing/budget enforcement tokens but also calls and durations.
  • Pause mode feature: new on_exceed: 'pause' mode — HITL approval: POST to a webhook on breach and block the request until it responds {"action":"approve"} or pause_timeout fires.
    • New config: pause_webhook, pause_timeout (30s), pause_timeout_action (deny|allow), pause_grace_period (5m)
    • After approval, subsequent requests skip the webhook for the pod-local grace window
    • Concurrent requests that arrive when the local cache is empty share one Redis lookup instead of each firing their own
    • Example stub webhook included under authbridge/demos/session-budget/
  • Cold-cache behavior is now mode-dependent (and documented)
    • pause synchronously hydrates from Redis on the request path so pre-existing over-budget sessions fire the webhook on first request
    • deny / observe (for on_exceed) keep the pre-existing behavior: skip on cold-cache, counters populate as inference responses stream back and via the background refresh loop. Keeps Redis off the hot path for the common modes.
    • max_calls accounting moved to the response path across all modes (deny, observe, pause): previously the plugin counted a call up front, it now counts when the response lands. Cache-at-limit still rejects reliably, but requests racing at calls == max_calls - 1 can overshoot by the in-flight count before responses catch up. max_calls is best-effort under bursty concurrency; documented in session-budget-plugin.md under "Call accounting is response-driven."
  • Added unit and e2e tests for pause mode
  • Commits will be planned to be squash-merged

For reviewers and agent reviewers: This plugin is fairly new and not officially released, so the token-budget to session-budget: Redis key rename does not require a migration path at this time.

Closes #759

Note: DAM currently answers "is this specific egress call allowed?" on per-request policy on host/method/path, routing approval prompts into Slack only when a human is actually available to respond. This PR intends to build on top of that: "has this agent burned through its allotment?" with cumulative token / call / duration ceilings per session, with cross-pod state so an agent restart doesn't reset the budget. The two could compose via a thin shim that translates session-budget's pause webhook POST into a DAM approval request, so DAM keeps the human UX and this plugin keeps the quota accounting. At time of writing DAM has cost visibility (per-model / per-session / per-agent / per-day spend rollups over gateway-attributed telemetry) but no enforcement or action on it.

Testing instructions

Prereqs: Kind cluster with rossoctl installed (SPIRE + Keycloak), an authbridge-sidecar'd agent deployed in ${NS}, a2a-parser on inbound, session-budget + inference-parser on outbound.

NS=team1
AGENT_POD=$(kubectl -n $NS get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=<agent> \
  -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

# 1. Deploy Valkey + pause-webhook stub (ambient-exempt labels included).
kubectl apply -f authbridge/demos/session-budget/k8s/pause-webhook-stub.yaml
# (Valkey manifest: see demo README or apply your own.)

# 2. Seed Redis over the configured max_calls.
SESSION=demo-$RANDOM
kubectl -n $NS exec valkey -- valkey-cli HSET \
  session-budget:$SESSION calls 99 started_at $(date +%s)

# 3. Fire an A2A request with contextId=$SESSION.
kubectl -n $NS port-forward pod/$AGENT_POD 8000:8000 &
curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:8000/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"message/send","params":{
       "message":{"messageId":"m1","role":"user",
       "parts":[{"kind":"text","text":"hi"}],
       "contextId":"'$SESSION'"}}}'

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces the token-budget plugin with session-budget enforcement. It adds Redis-backed token, call-count, and duration limits, pause approvals, tagged build integration, end-to-end tests, a Kubernetes demo, and documentation.

Changes

Session budget enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Budget configuration and request enforcement
authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/plugin.go
Adds configuration, Redis persistence, cache hydration, limit evaluation, pause approvals, response accumulation, and lifecycle handling.
Plugin behavior and concurrency validation
authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/plugin_test.go, authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/e2e_test.go, authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/lifecycle_test.go
Adds coverage for limits, accumulation, outages, refresh recovery, restart hydration, singleflight hydration, concurrent approvals, webhook outcomes, and shutdown behavior.
Build and proxy integration
authbridge/cmd/authbridge-envoy/plugins_sessionbudget.go, authbridge/cmd/authbridge-proxy/plugins_sessionbudget.go, authbridge/authlib/go.mod, authbridge/authlib/listener/forwardproxy/server.go
Adds tagged plugin wiring, the direct synchronization dependency, and updated session-budget terminology.
Demo and plugin documentation
authbridge/demos/..., authbridge/docs/...
Adds the pause-webhook demo, Kubernetes deployment, session-budget catalog entry, and operational documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d26a2

This change adds pause-based approval and session budget enforcement, but invalid settings may silently disable limits, concurrent cache refreshes may duplicate approval requests, and shutdown can race with or stall Redis work; related tests may also hang or fail intermittently. These issues can bypass intended controls or make deployments unreliable, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit acceptance.

Guard webhookCalls with an atomic counter.

The httptest handler runs in a server goroutine. It increments the plain int webhookCalls, and the test goroutine reads it. There is no explicit synchronization edge between the two. TestOnRequest_PausePendingApprovalSentinel at line 643 already uses atomic.Int32 for the same purpose. Use the same pattern in these three tests to keep -race runs stable.

♻️ Proposed change (apply to each of the three tests)
-	webhookCalls := 0
+	var webhookCalls atomic.Int32
 	srv := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
-		webhookCalls++
+		webhookCalls.Add(1)
 		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
 		w.Write([]byte(`{"action":"approve"}`))
 	}))

Update each read to webhookCalls.Load().

Inline comments:
In `@authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/e2e_test.go`:
- Around line 164-166: Avoid unsynchronized writes to p.store after the refresh
loop starts in TestE2E_LocalCacheEnforcesDuringOutage and the other affected
tests. Update newE2EPlugin and newE2EPluginPause to accept the intended store,
or assign it before launching refreshLoop, then pass failingStore or cs directly
through the helper calls.
- Around line 196-208: Update the outage assertion around p.cache["s"].tokens to
copy the value while holding p.mu.RLock(), release the lock, and only then call
t.Fatalf. Preserve the existing expected-value check and recovery assertion,
ensuring no fatal test call occurs while p.mu is held.
- Around line 243-281: Prevent the background refresh loop from affecting the
HashGet count in TestE2E_HydrateSingleflight. Construct the test plugin without
starting refreshLoop, or otherwise stop it before asserting hashGetCalls, while
preserving the existing singleflight concurrency setup and threshold.

In `@authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/plugin_test.go`:
- Around line 635-639: Update the post-grace OnRequest invocation in the session
budget test to capture and assert its returned action is approve, while
retaining the existing webhook call-count assertion.

In `@authbridge/authlib/plugins/sessionbudget/plugin.go`:
- Around line 223-252: The pause handling around pendingApproval and
callPauseWebhook must wait for the in-flight session approval result instead of
immediately returning Continue. Add shared per-session result signaling so
concurrent requests reuse and await the webhook outcome, continuing only when
approved or when the explicit pause_timeout_action "allow" outcome is received;
preserve the existing owner request’s webhook flow and clear the pending state
safely.
- Around line 161-163: Update SessionBudget.Shutdown and the
refreshLoop/refreshCache flow to propagate the shutdown context into cache
refresh operations, ensuring Redis lookups stop when the context is canceled.
After signaling stopCh, wait for stopped or return the context error when its
deadline expires, while preserving normal graceful shutdown.
- Around line 295-305: Update the OnResponseFrame and refreshCache flows so
counters with asynchronous accumulate writes in progress are not deleted from
the local cache. Track pending persistence or an equivalent revision marker per
session, and only remove counters after the corresponding Redis write completes;
preserve existing cleanup for fully persisted entries.

In `@authbridge/demos/session-budget/k8s/pause-webhook-stub.yaml`:
- Around line 36-67: The stub container definition should run with restricted
privileges. Add a securityContext to the container named stub with
allowPrivilegeEscalation disabled, runAsNonRoot enabled, a non-root runAsUser
UID, and capabilities.drop configured to remove all capabilities; preserve the
existing command, port, and resource settings.

In `@authbridge/demos/session-budget/README.md`:
- Around line 81-82: Update the session-budget README seed command to use
configurable REDIS_POD and REDIS_CLI placeholders instead of hardcoded valkey
and valkey-cli values, while preserving the existing namespace and HSET
arguments.
- Line 95: Update the kubectl logs command in the session-budget README to pass
the selected namespace via -n "$NS" and quote "$SESSION" in the grep argument,
preserving the existing deployment log target.
- Line 88: Update the example request instructions near the Authorization header
to ensure TOKEN is available before use: either add a step that acquires the
required token or explicitly instruct users to export TOKEN first, while
preserving the existing request flow.

In `@authbridge/docs/session-budget-plugin.md`:
- Around line 162-163: Update the human-in-the-loop guidance near the
pause_timeout recommendation to remove the unsupported out-of-band approval
option; instead document that clients must retry after completing a separate
approval flow, while preserving the immediate webhook deny behavior.
- Around line 198-203: Update the Redis key documentation code fence near the
session-budget schema to specify the text language, resolving the Markdown lint
requirement while preserving the block’s contents.

This PR is a well-structured rename + feature addition. The pause/HITL machinery has solid concurrency reasoning (singleflight hydrate, approvalFlight happens-before, defer-based cleanup on panic), and the mode-dependent cold-cache behavior is a sensible tradeoff clearly documented.

Two findings worth addressing before merge.

This PR lands cleanly — the rename is complete and consistent, the HITL pause machinery is well-designed (singleflight hydrate, approvalFlight happens-before, defer-based panic safety), and the mode-dependent cold-cache behavior is clearly documented. Previous review findings have been addressed.

One nit below on the config table.

Clean, well-structured rename + significant feature addition. The singleflight hydration, pendingWrites/pendingApproval refresh-safety guards, and the defer-based flight cleanup are all done correctly — the concurrency story is solid. A few nits below.

Solid implementation of the session-budget plugin rename and expansion — the pause-mode HITL flow is well-designed with correct singleflight deduplication, defer-based cleanup to prevent wedged sessions, and pendingWrites/pendingApproval preservation in refreshCache. A few items worth discussing below.

Findings:

  1. max_calls enforcement scope is counter-intuitive and underdocumented at the config level. The config struct comment says "MCP tool calls and other outbound traffic do not count", but the enforcement in evaluate() checks c.calls >= max_calls and c.calls is only incremented in OnResponseFrame (when inf != nil). This means once max_calls is crossed via inference responses, the next outbound request of any kind gets the 403 — including MCP tool calls. The doc correctly notes this in session-budget-plugin.md but the config struct's field-level description ("Max LLM/inference calls per session (counted from inference-parser output; MCP tool calls and other outbound traffic do not count).") implies MCP calls won't trigger the block, which is misleading. The description should read something like: "MCP tool calls do not increment this counter, but once the limit is reached, all outbound traffic is blocked."

  2. hydrateCache has a 200ms hardcoded timeout. For pause mode, the synchronous hydrate path on OnRequest uses a 200ms deadline (context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 200*time.Millisecond)). If Redis is slow (cross-AZ, loaded, etc.), this silently falls back to cold_cache/skip behavior on the very request that should fire the webhook. This timeout is not configurable and not documented. Should either be derived from a config field or at least mentioned in the failure-modes table.

  3. refreshCache preserves pendingApproval across refresh cycles but hydrateCache does not. hydrateCache (line 568–570) only inserts a new counters entry if one doesn't already exist, so it won't overwrite an in-progress pause flight — that's correct. But a subtle scenario: if hydrateCache runs between refreshCache replacing the entry and the defer's cc.pendingApproval = nil write, the singleflight result from hydrateCache won't be used (entry already exists). This is benign but worth a comment near line 568.

  4. tokenbudget plugin_test.go removal drops TestOnRequest_ConcurrentCallLimit. The old plugin had optimistic call reservation in OnRequest to prevent concurrent goroutines from over-running max_calls. Session-budget intentionally removes this (calls are now response-driven), but the concurrent enforcement guarantee changes: two concurrent requests that both read calls == max_calls - 1 before either increments will both pass. There is no equivalent concurrent enforcement test for deny mode in the new plugin_test.go. TestE2E_* may cover this, but the unit-level regression is gone.

Solid rename-and-extend PR. The token-budget → session-budget rename is clean, the pause/HITL mode design is well thought out (especially the approvalFlight pattern and the singleflight for cold-cache hydration), and the docs are thorough.

One substantive finding and a minor defensive-coding nit below.

Reviewed at head ddd262a, which is newer than every previously-reviewed commit. The rename is complete and consistent, and the pause/HITL machinery is genuinely well-built: the approvalFlight happens-before edge, the defer-based cleanup that survives a panic, the singleflight hydrate, and the pendingWrites/pendingApproval guards in refreshCache all hold up under inspection.

One blocking item, and it is resolved by a description fix plus one test — not a redesign.

Confirmed addressed since the last automated pass

Verified directly at head rather than taken on trust: stub securityContext (non-root 65532, seccomp RuntimeDefault, cap-drop ALL, read-only rootfs, digest-pinned image, requests + limits); gofmt -l clean on all four Go files; atomic counters in tests with no plain webhookCalls left; delete-guard now requires pendingApproval == nil (plugin.go:606); negative pause_grace_period rejected (:164); webhook body no longer logged, only response_bytes (:460); Shutdown no longer closes the store on the timeout path (:205); callPauseWebhook detached from the request ctx so a client disconnect cannot cancel waiting followers (:427); max_calls best-effort note and 0s grace semantics both documented.

go.mod promotes golang.org/x/sync from indirect to direct — already in the module graph, so no new supply-chain surface.

Not regressions — noting only so they are not mistaken for new

Both are verbatim carry-overs from tokenbudget, out of scope for this PR:

  • accumulate:522-525Expire is gated on HashSetNX returning true and both errors are discarded. If Expire fails, started_at persists, so no later call retries it: the key keeps counters with no TTL, permanently.
  • Shutdown:201close(p.stopCh) panics if Shutdown runs twice.
