v1.95.0 — Smoke/Selftest Split + G20 CI Gate

Summary

  • Contract-aligned smoke/selftest split (smoke = non-destructive, selftest = write operations)
  • Module smoke tests for all protection modules
  • G20 CI gate: registry-driven CLI smoke in CI pipeline
  • Backward compatibility shim for nftban smokenftban selftest

CI Status

  • All required checks: PASS (Go Build & Test, CodeQL, ShellCheck, Policy Gates, CLI Smoke, Docker, all RPM installs, DEB installs on debian12/13/ubuntu24.04)
  • Inline suppressions added for gosec/Semgrep in code

Known CI Exceptions

Ubuntu 22.04 DEB install (non-blocking):
The ubuntu:22.04 minimal Docker container install test fails because nftables package is not available in that container's default apt repositories. This is a CI test environment limitation, not a packaging bug. Not reproduced on real Ubuntu 22.04 hosts with standard repositories enabled. All other DEB targets (debian12, debian13, ubuntu24.04) pass.

Semgrep OSS / gosec (non-required):
Third-party scanner checks are non-required and experienced transient failures (5s/4s runtime — connectivity or license issues). Not blocking.

Test Plan

  • CLI smoke test passes in CI
  • All RPM install tests pass (alma9, rocky9, centos-stream9, centos-stream10)
  • DEB install tests pass (debian12, debian13, ubuntu24.04)
  • Go Build & Test passes
  • CodeQL passes
  • ShellCheck passes
  • Policy Gates pass
  • Binary consistency validation passes

Extends v1.94 smoke framework with:

- prereqs.go: Reusable prerequisite evaluators (binary, file, systemd,
  daemon_running, module_enabled, http_endpoint, config_key)
- assertions.go: Contract-safe assertion helpers (JSONValid, JSONPathExists,
  OutputContains, MetricFamiliesPresent, NoFatalPatterns)
- tests_modules.go: Module-gated smoke tests for ddos, portscan, botguard,
  loginmon — SKIP when module disabled (not FAIL)
- Extended SmokeTest struct: Module, Assertions, DeepOnly, CIEnabled fields
- CLI: --module=MODULE and --deep flags
- RunOptions replaces simple group string

Module tests do NOT claim enforcement — only that commands run without
fatal runtime errors when module is enabled. Truth comes from validator.

Split the two different testing concepts into distinct commands:

nftban smoke = registry-driven, non-destructive, CI-safe
  - Go-based (internal/smoke/)
  - PASS/FAIL/SKIP semantics
  - --json, --group, --module, --deep flags
  - Safe for routine checks and fleet monitoring

nftban selftest = extended system validation with controlled state changes
  - Shell-based (tests/selftest.sh)
  - Ban/unban lifecycle, whitelist mutation, port lifecycle
  - Intended for deep verification and troubleshooting
  - May temporarily modify firewall state

Changes:
- cmd_smoke.sh: rewritten to pure Go pass-through (898→70 LOC)
- cmd_selftest.sh: NEW — old smoke shell suite reclassified
- smoke_test.sh → selftest.sh (renamed)
- test_module_smoke.sh → test_module_selftest.sh (renamed)
- commands.registry.yml: smoke updated, selftest added
- CONTRIBUTING.md: testing docs updated
- nftban dispatcher: selftest command registered
- wiki FHS page: test dir description updated
- scripts/test_installation.sh: reference updated

V1 (HIGH): Old smoke subcommands (run, lifecycle, verify, etc.) now
print migration message directing to `nftban selftest`. Prevents
silent breakage for operators upgrading from v1.94.

V3 (MEDIUM): G20 Smoke Gate wired into ci-smoke.yml. Runs
nftban-core smoke --json, validates JSON, fails on FAIL count > 0.
SKIPs (expected in CI — no daemon/systemd) do not cause failure.

V4 (P0): ci-architecture.yml:360 referenced deleted test_module_smoke.sh
  → updated to test_module_selftest.sh

V5 (P0): cmd_selftest.sh:114 referenced deleted smoke_test.sh
  → updated to selftest.sh

Also: docs/BUILD_STATUS.md G8-4 reference updated.

T2 (health --json): requires nftban-validate binary. Without it,
health falls back to shell diagnostics with undocumented exit codes
(4, 7 observed in CI). This is a genuine prerequisite — health
delegates to the Go validator for its truth contract.

T3 (status): requires nftband.service running. Status queries the
live system — without daemon, exit codes are environment-dependent.

In CI (no validator binary, no daemon): T2 and T3 SKIP.
On live hosts (validator present, daemon running): strict [0,1,2].

No exit code widening. No fake prerequisites. Real dependencies.

G15 registry parity gate requires all registry commands in completion.
selftest was added to registry but missing from bash-completion.

Also updated smoke completions from old subcommands to new flags
(--json, --group, --module, --deep).

D1 (nftband service): prereq was Type:"binary" Name:"systemctl" which
passes in CI even though daemon isn't running. Changed to
PrereqDaemonRunning — correctly SKIPs when daemon absent.

M1 (/metrics reachable): prereq was Type:"daemon" (unrecognized by
prereqs.go, fell through to default:true). Changed to
PrereqDaemonRunning — correctly SKIPs when daemon absent.

These are real prerequisites: /metrics endpoint requires daemon,
and D1 tests daemon state which requires daemon to exist.

The smoke runner uses exec.CommandContext with args from a trusted
internal registry. gosec (G204) and Semgrep flag this as command
injection on every PR, creating code-scanning comments that block
merge due to "all comments must be resolved" branch protection.

Dismissing alerts doesn't prevent re-creation — both tools upload
fresh SARIF results on every PR run, regenerating the same findings.

Durable fix: exclude internal/smoke/ from both scanners. The smoke
package is an orchestration layer that executes registered commands
by design. The security review is documented in the registry.

Reverted directory-wide gosec/Semgrep exclusions (too broad).

Applied targeted suppressions on the exact exec.CommandContext line:
- #nosec G204 (gosec): on preceding comment line, parser-safe format
- nosemgrep (Semgrep): on separate preceding comment line

Justification: command path and args come from the trusted internal
smoke registry, not user input. The registry is compiled into the
binary — no runtime injection path exists.

All other internal/smoke/ files remain fully scanned by both tools.

Without -nosec, gosec includes all findings in SARIF output even
when #nosec annotations are present in code. The -nosec flag tells
gosec to honor inline suppressions in SARIF mode.
