Follow-up to #214.

• Keep authenticated native Ollama requests on the selected server and keep URL credentials out of diagnostics.
• Shut down the MCP logging test server using its own process handle.
• Clarify the Alpine ARM64 and strict development-install prerequisites.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified the Node.js versions required for release tools and strict development installs.
  • Added a note that Alpine Linux on ARM64 requires gcompat for the bundled Swift parser.
• Improvements
  • Ollama status messages now show the endpoint origin without private URL paths or credentials.
  • Invalid Ollama API keys produce clearer errors without exposing upstream response details. Authenticated Ollama requests continue to require HTTPS, except for loopback connections.

Walkthrough

The change centralizes Ollama URL parsing and origin-only display, updates keyed authentication and localhost auto-detection for 401 and 403 responses, and expands related tests. It also revises prerequisite documentation and changes MCP protocol test process startup and cleanup.

Changes: Ollama endpoint and authentication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Endpoint parsing and origin display src/services/embedding-config.ts, src/services/docker.ts, tests/unit/docker.test.ts	Ollama endpoint parsing and origin-only display are shared by configuration and readiness logs. Readiness requests retain the full configured URL.
Authentication and localhost discovery src/services/provider-ollama.ts, tests/unit/provider-ollama-connection-pool.test.ts, tests/unit/provider-ollama-transport.test.ts, tests/unit/mcp-logging-protocol.test.ts	Authenticated 401/403 responses produce status-specific errors, and credentials embedded in configured URLs produce guidance to use OLLAMA_API_KEY. Auto-detection recognizes keyed localhost Ollama instances after 401/403 responses. Tests check response and endpoint privacy.

MCP protocol test process management

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Test server startup and cleanup tests/unit/mcp-logging-protocol.test.ts	The test harness starts the server through a Node.js loader and tracks child-process closure. Cleanup waits for exit, force-kills after a timeout, and reports whether forced termination was needed.

Prerequisite documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Development and platform prerequisites CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md	The contributing guide applies the specified Node.js versions to strict root development installs. The README adds the gcompat prerequisite for Alpine Linux ARM64.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to a5bc9

A password placed in an Ollama URL can appear in an error message in this narrow case. Correct the redaction branch before merging, or explicitly accept that risk.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to a5bc9

The changes generally strengthen credential handling and keep authenticated requests on the selected server. No introduced or materially worsened security issue was established. Risk remains low rather than minimal because password-only URL credentials remain incompletely protected, and verification of that existing diagnostic exposure is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The relevant exposure is the server process's configured Ollama credential and embedding input, plus diagnostics visible to log or MCP consumers. The inspected change does not establish new tenant-wide, infrastructure-wide, or credential-management authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The deferred candidate identifies an incomplete error-redaction boundary: the head checks URL.username but not URL.password before replacing a fetch TypeError. Password-only userinfo therefore bypasses that branch, and direct embedding errors can reach retry logging. The base already rethrew those errors through the same path; introduced or worsened exposure was not established. The canonical verification receipt remains missing, so this is not treated as a verified new vulnerability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — A localhost authentication challenge is now a discovery signal, not proof of successful authentication. The subsequent keyed client request must still pass transport policy and authentication; HTTP 401 or 403 causes a sanitized failure rather than successful readiness.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Readiness success is cached against endpoint, credential, model, and dimensions only after checks complete. Native discovery separately caches mode and URL without credential identity. Supported configuration is process-cached and per-operation overrides exclude credentials, bounding the speculative hot-reconfiguration concern; arbitrary concurrent credential mutation remains unproven.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Complete the existing credential-diagnostic protection by rejecting or sanitizing URL userinfo when either username or password is present. Add password-only coverage through direct embedding and retry diagnostics, and resolve the outstanding verification receipt before claiming complete protection.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names two changes: Ollama credential handling and MCP test teardown. Both appear in the change summary. The Ollama work covers URL credential handling, 401/403 rejection, and display origin logging. The MCP work covers the logging protocol test teardown and removal of the Windows process-tree code. Some changes are not named, such as the Alpine ARM64 and strict-install docs. The title is specific and concise, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Summary section with a brief statement of the aims. It lists three key changes as bullets, which matches the Changes section. It does not fill in the Type of change checkboxes, the Testing checklist, the Checklist, or the Related issues section. It links the prior work only as 'Follow-up to #214', which is not a formal Related issues entry. The core content is present, so the check passes, but the template sections are incomplete.

Resolution

Consider completing the remaining template sections. Check the applicable Type of change box, which is likely Bug fix. Mark the Testing items that were run, such as npm run test:unit and npx tsc --noEmit. Mark the Checklist items that apply. Add the related issue reference under Related issues, for example Relates to #214.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 70.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 7 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
