Nicolas Cantu cfa1f435cb refactor: centralize HTTP proxy helpers and align IA_DEV_ROOT resolution (0.0.6)
Initial state:
- HTTP proxy utilities (Bearer parsing, hop-by-hop headers, body limits, safe path validation) were duplicated between smart-ide-sso-gateway and smart-ide-global-api.
- IA_DEV_ROOT auto-resolution order differed between bash (ensure-ia-dev-project-link.sh) and TypeScript (ia-dev-gateway getIaDevRoot), and could fall back to non-existing paths.

Motivation:
- Reduce duplication and drift across proxy layers.
- Enforce consistent, explicit IA_DEV_ROOT behavior across scripts and services.

Resolution:
- Add package @4nk/smart-ide-http-utils and reuse it from smart-ide-sso-gateway and smart-ide-global-api.
- Align IA_DEV_ROOT resolution to prefer ./services/ia_dev then ./ia_dev; fail fast when missing/misconfigured.

Root cause:
- Cross-service utilities were implemented ad-hoc in each service.
- Historical layout transitions (ia_dev gitlink vs vendored services/ia_dev) left multiple resolvers with different priorities.

Impacted features:
- HTTP proxy chain (SSO gateway -> global API -> upstream services).
- ia-dev-gateway startup/operation when IA_DEV_ROOT is missing or invalid.

smart-ide-sso-gateway

HTTP gateway that validates user access tokens from the docv / Enso OIDC issuer, then forwards requests to smart-ide-global-api, which proxies to internal smart_ide micro-services using each services technical credentials (Bearer or X-API-Key).

Responsibilities

  • Verify Authorization: Bearer <access_token> with JWKS (OIDC_ISSUER, optional OIDC_AUDIENCE, optional OIDC_JWKS_URI).
  • Expose GET /health without auth.
  • Expose GET /v1/token/verify and GET /v1/upstreams with user Bearer (upstream keys from @4nk/smart-ide-upstreams).
  • Proxy ANY /proxy/<upstream_key>/<path> to smart-ide-global-api (GLOBAL_API_URL, GLOBAL_API_INTERNAL_TOKEN), which relays to the target service and adds upstream auth plus X-OIDC-Sub / X-OIDC-Email when present in the JWT.

Structured request logs (except GET /health and OPTIONS) are appended to .logs/sso-gateway/access.log under the monorepo root.

User accounts, project membership, and product databases stay in each applications backend (docv, Enso, etc.); this gateway does not store them.

Run

Start smart-ide-global-api first, then:

cd services/smart-ide-sso-gateway
cp .env.example .env   # edit OIDC_ISSUER, GLOBAL_API_INTERNAL_TOKEN (match global API)
set -a && source .env && set +a
npm ci
npm run build
npm start

Default listen: http://127.0.0.1:37148.

Micro-service URLs and tokens are configured on smart-ide-global-api (services/smart-ide-global-api/.env.example or aggregated config/services.local.env).
