Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive API key system, which is a significant and valuable addition. However, a critical security vulnerability exists due to an insecure CORS configuration that will cause the server to fail at runtime. Additionally, there are flaws in the token attribution logic and security analytics logging, breaking the audit trail and accounting features, and a runtime error in the model routing logic. Further improvements are needed to replace hardcoded API keys in documentation and examples, address the multi-worker rate limiting implementation, and ensure user context is passed through for analytics.

A hardcoded API key is present in this example file. This is a significant security risk and should never be committed to version control. The key should be loaded from an environment variable, with a check to ensure it's set before the client is used.

critical

The rate limiting is implemented using an in-memory dictionary _rate_limit_cache. This will not work correctly when the server is run with multiple workers (as supported by the heidi api server command), because each worker process will have its own separate cache. This will lead to the actual rate limit being N * configured_rate_limit, where N is the number of workers. For a robust multi-worker setup, a shared cache like Redis or Memcached is required.

security-high high

The CORS configuration uses allow_origins=["*"] in combination with allow_credentials=True. This is a critical security risk as it allows any origin to make authenticated requests and will cause a RuntimeError in FastAPI (via Starlette) because allow_origins cannot be ["*"] when allow_credentials is True. For production, allow_origins should be explicitly configured with allowed origins, or allow_credentials should be set to False if credentials are not intended to be handled by the browser's CORS mechanism. Using allow_origins=["*"] is generally insecure for production environments.

This JSON block is invalid because it contains multiple keys with the same name (model). Each key in a JSON object must be unique. To show different model identifiers, you should provide separate examples, for instance:

{
  "model": "local://my-gpt-model"
}
{
  "model": "hf://TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0"

The _route_to_opencode method currently falls back to the local model router. This contradicts the feature's goal of supporting OpenCode models via the API. This method should be implemented to proxy requests to the OpenCode API, similar to how the ModelManager handles it.

The auth_result, which contains the validated API key and user information, is not being passed to router.route_request. This means the downstream logic in APIRouter cannot access the key's user_id for analytics and token tracking, and it's currently using a hardcoded value 'api-user'. The route_request method should be updated to accept this context. This will also require updating the signature of APIRouter.route_request.

security-medium medium

The user_id for token usage tracking is hardcoded to "api-user". The authenticated user_id from the API key is not passed from the server to the router, resulting in all users' token usage being attributed to a single generic ID. This breaks usage analytics, billing, and per-user quota enforcement, which are key features of this API system.

Remediation: Update APIRouter.route_request to accept a user_id parameter and pass auth_result.api_key.user_id from the chat_completions endpoint in server.py.

The call to self.analytics.record_request includes a metadata keyword argument which is not supported by the record_request method signature in src/heidi_cli/integrations/analytics.py. This will cause a TypeError at runtime. Because this call is wrapped in a silent try...except Exception: pass block, the failure will be silent, resulting in a complete loss of the security audit trail for authentication events.

Remediation: Update the record_request method in analytics.py to accept a metadata argument, or remove the unsupported argument from the call in auth.py.

This example API key heidik_OjawUC19Lc6a4YfY5WMJTyR4J1nwQNrcSP0fN6MESbo is hardcoded and appears multiple times throughout the documentation (e.g., lines 37, 128, 273, 369, 391). This is a security risk as it could be mistaken for a real key or flagged by secret scanners. It's best practice to use a non-functional placeholder like heidik_... or YOUR_API_KEY.

The heidi api server command is currently a placeholder and does not start the actual FastAPI server. The implementation should use a library like uvicorn to programmatically start the server defined in src/heidi_cli/api/server.py.

Example implementation:

import uvicorn
from .server import app as fastapi_app

uvicorn.run(
    fastapi_app,
    host=host,
    port=port,
    workers=workers,
    log_level="info"
)
