Adversarial pass, first finding. `PUT /api/v1/config/:key` took the key from the URL and the value from the body with no validation beyond blocking two credential verifiers. Two ways that goes wrong, both silent: A typo is stored forever. `inactivity_timout` was accepted, written into the encrypted config, and answered ok — while the setting it was meant to change never moved. Nothing downstream reads an unknown key, so this failure can only ever be silent; the caller has no way to find out. A wrong type is stored verbatim. `inactivity_timeout: "soon"` turns every later comparison into NaN, which compares false, so the vault simply never times out. That is a security setting failing open because a string reached a numeric field. There is now an allowlist of 23 keys, each with a normalizer that rejects values it cannot make sense of: negative delays, a zero inactivity timeout (indistinguishable from a broken vault), an empty relay list (not a configuration, an outage), a string where an array belongs. Unknown keys get Python's 400 "Unknown key"; the credential verifiers move from 400 to 403, matching Python, since the key is real and the refusal is about authority. The allowlist is deliberately a SUPERSET of Python's, which cannot set the password-policy keys this implementation honours. Copying Python exactly would have deleted working behaviour to reproduce a limitation. Recorded in TODO.md as a divergence to settle rather than left as an accident. Separately: the shared API test fixture was inheriting the default 100 requests/minute budget and had grown past it, so unrelated tests failed with 429 depending on how many requests ran before them. Rate limiting is tested on its own servers with explicit budgets, so the fixture no longer enforces one.
