LEGAL-001 — license truth for @wave-av/cli

The defect

package.json on origin/main declared "license": "MIT". The LICENSE file beside it is the Apache-2.0 text, and has been since 5da8018"chore: adopt Apache-2.0 license + add NOTICE… Standardize the open WAVE protocol/SDK surface on Apache-2.0 (patent grant for adoption). Replaces any prior license." The README's License section also said MIT. Three declarations, one file, two different licenses.

Reproduction against origin/main before this change:

$ git show origin/main:package.json | python3 -c "import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['license'])"
MIT
$ git show origin/main:LICENSE | head -1
                                 Apache License
$ grep -A2 '^## License' README.md
## License

MIT

Second defect, found while building the gate. npm always includes LICENSE in a tarball regardless of the files array — but never NOTICE. files listed only dist, templates, README.md, CHANGELOG.md:

$ npm pack --dry-run --json --ignore-scripts | jq -r '.[0].files[].path' | grep -iE 'licen|notice'
LICENSE

So the NOTICE reserving the WAVE trademarks — which Apache-2.0 §4(d) requires redistributions to carry — has never been in a published tarball. The same is true of every other WAVE npm package (see the NOTICE column in LICENSE-LEDGER.md); this PR fixes it here.

What the published artifact actually is

The brief this lane started from said @wave-av/cli@1.0.8's tarball contains Apache-2.0 text under MIT metadata. It does not — the published 1.0.8 tarball is internally consistent, MIT metadata with the MIT text:

$ curl -sL https://registry.npmjs.org/@wave-av/cli/-/cli-1.0.8.tgz | tar -xz
$ head -1 package/LICENSE ; jq -r .license package/package.json
MIT License
MIT

The reason is a date, not a packaging bug: 1.0.8 was published 2026-04-03 (registry.npmjs.org time field), two months before the 2026-06-04 Apache-2.0 adoption commit. The [1.0.8] CHANGELOG entry claims "License changed to Apache-2.0, replacing MIT" — true of the repository, never true of the release. Apache-2.0 has never been published for this package. The history is left as written; a correction note is added under [Unreleased].

The fix

  • package.json"license"Apache-2.0; "LICENSE" and "NOTICE" added to files.
  • README.md — License section now names Apache-2.0 and points at both files.
  • package-lock.json — root license regenerated via npm install --package-lock-only (one line).
  • CHANGELOG.md — records both fixes and corrects the false [1.0.8] license claim.

The gate that keeps it fixed

npm run license:check (new, offline, wired into CI as license-truth / local-truth). It reads the license text and names it, then requires every declaration to match — because you cannot catch this class of defect by comparing two declarations to each other. Rules: license-file-present, license-file-identifiable, declared-license-present, declared-matches-text, lockfile-matches-manifest, readme-matches-manifest, license-shipped, notice-shipped, no-strong-copyleft-runtime.

It reads only repo files, so it is deterministic and cannot go red because a registry is having a bad afternoon. Registry reconciliation is a separate job (registry-drift) on a weekly schedule + workflow_dispatch.

npm run license:ledger regenerates LICENSE-LEDGER.md: it downloads every published WAVE npm tarball and PyPI wheel, reads the LICENSE inside the artifact, and compares that against what each source repo declares today. tar.gz and zip are parsed in pure Node (scripts/lib/archive.mjs) so the ledger needs no tar/unzip binary and no new dependency.

Proving runs

# on the pre-fix tree — the gate catches exactly the two real defects
$ node scripts/license-truth.mjs check ; echo EXIT=$?
2 license contradiction(s):
  [declared-matches-text] package.json declares "MIT" but the LICENSE file is the Apache-2.0 text
  [notice-shipped] the repo has a NOTICE file and is Apache-2.0, but NOTICE is not in the packed tarball
EXIT=1

# after the fix
$ npm run license:check ; echo EXIT=$?
OK — every license surface agrees.
EXIT=0

$ npm test
Test Files  6 passed (6)      Tests  65 passed (65)

$ npm run build
ESM ⚡️ Build success in 75ms

54 of those 65 tests are new. The load-bearing one builds a fixture repo declaring MIT next to Apache-2.0 text and asserts declared-matches-text fires — if that ever stops failing, the gate has stopped working. Writing the tests found a real bug in my own classifier: classifyCopyleft("LGPL-3.0-or-later") recursed until the stack blew, because \bOR\b matched the -or- inside the identifier. Fixed by requiring whitespace-delimited OR; the test that caught it is kept.

What this PR does NOT touch

.github/workflows/release.yml (owned by #17/#45) and src/lib/version.ts (owned by #46) are untouched — no file in this diff appears in any open PR.

Drift this PR reports but cannot fix from here

LICENSE-LEDGER.md names four contradictions in other repos, each with a receipt. They need their own PRs:

package published source declares repo LICENSE file
@wave-av/workflow-sdk@1.0.6 MIT Apache-2.0 sdk-typescript/packages/workflow-sdk/LICENSE is MIT
wave-av-sdk@2.0.0 (PyPI) MIT Apache-2.0 sdk-python/LICENSE is MIT
wave-sdk@2.0.0 (PyPI) MIT MIT root LICENSE is Apache-2.0 (being fixed in sdk-python#44)
@wave-av/create-app@1.0.9 MIT unresolved no package.json on any wave-av default branch — source unknown

The ledger deliberately renders that last row as unverified, not "consistent": an artifact that agrees with itself and has never been checked against a source repo is not a pass.

Note the @wave-av/cli row will read DRIFT until this merges — the ledger reads HEAD of wave-av/cli, which still declares MIT. Regenerate after merge.

Rollback

Revert the commit. The gate is additive: license-truth.yml is a new workflow (no existing workflow is modified), scripts/license-truth.mjs and scripts/lib/* are new files with no importers in src/, and the two npm scripts are new keys. Reverting restores the MIT declarations and removes the gate; nothing else in the build or the published surface changes. No republish is implied by this PR — the npm metadata for 1.0.8 is immutable, and any republish is an operator decision.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes published-package license metadata and npm tarball contents (LICENSE/NOTICE), and adds a required CI gate; runtime CLI code in src/ is untouched.

Overview
Fixes LEGAL-001: @wave-av/cli had been declaring MIT in package.json, README, and the lockfile while the root LICENSE text was Apache-2.0, and Apache-2.0 NOTICE was not included in the npm files list (so it would not ship in published tarballs). This PR sets all declarations to Apache-2.0, updates the README license section, adds LICENSE and NOTICE to package.json files, and documents the mismatch and the incorrect [1.0.8] changelog claim in CHANGELOG.

Adds automated license enforcement: new npm run license:check (offline: declared vs LICENSE text, README/lockfile alignment, packed tarball includes LICENSE/NOTICE, no strong copyleft in runtime deps) and npm run license:ledger (downloads WAVE npm/PyPI artifacts, inspects license files in pure Node, compares to source repos). Wired via .github/workflows/license-truth.yml — required local-truth on PRs/pushes; registry-drift weekly/manual only. Initial LICENSE-LEDGER.md and broad Vitest coverage in scripts/ lock in the rules.

Bug Fixes:

  • Correct the package, README, and lockfile license declarations to Apache-2.0 and ensure both LICENSE and NOTICE are included in published npm packages.
  • Correct the changelog's description of the previous npm release and fix copyleft expression classification for identifiers containing “-or-”.

Enhancements:

  • Document the package's Apache-2.0 license and trademark NOTICE requirements across its published legal surfaces.

CI:

  • Run deterministic license checks and related tests on pull requests and main-branch pushes, with scheduled and manual registry drift reconciliation.

Documentation:

  • Add a generated ledger documenting license consistency and drift across published WAVE artifacts.

Tests:

  • Add comprehensive tests covering license detection, declaration consistency, package contents, archive parsing, dependency classification, registry reconciliation, URL validation, and ledger rendering.

Review in cubic

…xt (LEGAL-001)

`package.json` said "license": "MIT" and the README's License section said MIT,
but LICENSE has been the Apache-2.0 text since 5da8018 ("chore: adopt Apache-2.0
license + add NOTICE", 2026-06-04), which states the governing intent: "Standardize
the open WAVE protocol/SDK surface on Apache-2.0 (patent grant for adoption)."
Every other WAVE npm package has already moved — @wave-av/sdk 2.1.3, @wave-av/adk
1.0.15 and @wave-av/mcp-server 0.2.0 all publish Apache-2.0. This one had not.

Second defect: npm always includes LICENSE regardless of the `files` array, but
never NOTICE. `npm pack --dry-run` on origin/main listed exactly one license-ish
file, LICENSE — so the NOTICE reserving the WAVE marks, which Apache-2.0 §4(d)
requires redistributions to carry, was not in any published tarball.

Fixed all four declarations (package.json, README.md, package-lock.json, and the
LICENSE file they must match) and added LICENSE + NOTICE to `files`.

Added `npm run license:check`: an offline gate that reads the license TEXT and
fails when any declaration disagrees with it, when LICENSE/NOTICE would not ship,
or when a runtime dependency carries strong copyleft. It fails on the pre-fix tree
with exactly the two contradictions above. Added `npm run license:ledger`, which
downloads every published WAVE tarball and wheel, reads the LICENSE inside, and
compares it to what each source repo declares today; LICENSE-LEDGER.md is its
output and names four more drifts this change does not touch.

The CLI inspects published artifacts and source repositories, reports drift and fetch failures, and generates the license ledger. Tests cover artifact inspection, source comparison, and ledger output.
Automated validation workflow
.github/workflows/license-truth.yml
GitHub Actions runs local validation and tests for repository changes. Scheduled and manual runs reconcile registry artifacts and upload the generated ledger.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 748f8

The license declarations are consistent, but several new audit and reconciliation paths can pass without checking package contents, report false drift, or fail to produce timely ledger output. These should be corrected before relying on the new gate.

💡 Edge Case: tar octal size field doesn't support GNU base-256 extension

octal() always parses the 12-byte size field with parseInt(s, 8). GNU tar switches to base-256 encoding (high bit of the first byte set) for sizes that don't fit in octal; parseInt on that raw byte sequence would silently produce a wrong (usually garbage or NaN-coerced-to-0) size rather than throwing. This is not reachable for npm tarballs in practice (individual package files are always well under the octal size limit), so it's low risk, but worth a guard (if (b[0] & 0x80) throw new Error('base-256 tar size not supported')) so a future large-file edge case fails loudly instead of silently truncating/misreading entries.

💡 Edge Case: readZip mixes central-directory size with local-header offsets

readZip takes compressedSize from the central directory record but computes the data start offset using the local header's own name/extra-field lengths (lines 91-93), while ignoring the local header's own (possibly zero, if a data descriptor was used) size fields. For a zip written with a data descriptor (general-purpose flag bit 3), the local header's crc/sizes are placeholders and the entry's compressed data length must come from matching central-directory info, which this code does correctly — but it never checks the data-descriptor flag, so if a wheel were ever built with streaming output this would silently work by luck rather than by design. PyPI wheels are built by wheel/setuptools which do not use streaming zip writers, so this is theoretical for the ledger's actual inputs; flagging only for future-proofing if the ledger is extended to other archive sources.

Code Review 👍 Approved with suggestions 0 resolved / 2 findings

Adds license-truth gate to align package declarations with Apache-2.0, ensuring LICENSE and NOTICE ship in tarballs and preventing future drift via automated checks and registry reconciliation. Two minor suggestions: octal() should guard against GNU base-256 tar size encoding to fail loudly on edge cases, and readZip should validate data-descriptor flags for future-proofing beyond current PyPI wheel inputs.

GNU tar switches to base-256 encoding (high bit of the first byte set) for sizes that don't fit in octal; parseInt on that raw byte sequence would silently produce a wrong (usually garbage or NaN-coerced-to-0) size rather than throwing. This is not reachable for npm tarballs in practice (individual package files are always well under the octal size limit), so it's low risk, but worth a guard (if (b[0] & 0x80) throw new Error('base-256 tar size not supported')) so a future large-file edge case fails loudly instead of silently truncating/misreading entries.

💡 Edge Case: readZip mixes central-directory size with local-header offsets

📄 scripts/lib/archive.mjs:67-81

readZip takes compressedSize from the central directory record but computes the data start offset using the local header's own name/extra-field lengths (lines 91-93), while ignoring the local header's own (possibly zero, if a data descriptor was used) size fields. For a zip written with a data descriptor (general-purpose flag bit 3), the local header's crc/sizes are placeholders and the entry's compressed data length must come from matching central-directory info, which this code does correctly — but it never checks the data-descriptor flag, so if a wheel were ever built with streaming output this would silently work by luck rather than by design. PyPI wheels are built by wheel/setuptools which do not use streaming zip writers, so this is theoretical for the ledger's actual inputs; flagging only for future-proofing if the ledger is extended to other archive sources.

Code Review: Adds license-truth gate to align package declarations with Apache-2.0, ensuring LICENSE and NOTICE ship in tarballs and preventing future drift via automated checks and registry reconciliation. Two minor suggestions: `octal()` should guard against GNU base-256 tar size encoding to fail loudly on edge cases, and `readZip` should validate data-descriptor flags for future-proofing beyond current PyPI wheel inputs.

…rst slash

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization (high) on scripts/lib/registry.mjs:35 —
`name.replace('/', '%2F')` replaces only the FIRST occurrence, so a name with a
second slash reaches a registry path this code never intended to request. The
same splice-without-validation shape appeared twice more: the PyPI project name
and the raw.githubusercontent repo path.

Replaced all three with validated builders — npmPackageUrl, pypiProjectUrl and
rawGithubUrl — that reject anything outside each ecosystem's name grammar (and
any path with a ".." segment or a leading slash) before encoding. `replaceAll`
now escapes every slash; path segments go through encodeURIComponent.

These names come from license-manifest.json today, which is repo-controlled, so
this is defence in depth rather than a live exploit — but a validated builder is
the correct shape for a function that turns a string into a URL it will fetch.

Four tests added, including the exact CodeQL case: a name whose second slash
would have survived the old replace.

Keep the committed ledger synchronized with main, or label it as generation-time data. inspectSource reads .../HEAD/package.json, so after this merge it will resolve @wave-av/cli as Apache-2.0, while line 15 remains MIT and DRIFT. The scheduled/manual registry-drift job only uploads a regenerated artifact; it does not update the committed file. Commit the post-merge output, or qualify the ledger with its generation time so it is not presented as current.

Does npm pack use PAX extended headers for tar entry paths longer than 100 characters (node-tar portable mode)?

💡 Result:

Yes, npm pack utilizes PAX extended headers to support tar entry paths longer than the standard 100-character limit [1]. Because npm relies on the node-tar library to create tarballs, it automatically uses PAX headers whenever they are required to properly encode metadata, including long file paths [2][3]. When a path exceeds 100 characters, node-tar generates a PAX extended header record (typically using the path keyword) to store the full path, ensuring compatibility with modern tar readers [1]. This mechanism is standard behavior for node-tar unless explicitly disabled [2][4]. Regarding "portable mode" in node-tar: The portable option in node-tar is designed to omit system-specific metadata—such as ctime, atime, device numbers, and inode numbers—from the tarball to ensure consistency across different operating systems [3][4]. It does not disable PAX extended headers. In fact, if you were to use the noPax option—which is distinct from portable mode—it would suppress PAX extended headers, leading to the truncation of long paths and potential misinterpretation of numeric values [2][3]. Therefore, npm pack remains capable of handling long paths even when portable mode is enabled, as it continues to use PAX headers to preserve those paths correctly [1][3].

Handle PAX (x) extended headers.

When readTarGz skips a PAX header, it discards the path record. The following entry can then use a truncated name as its Map key. Parse the length-prefixed PAX path record and apply it to the following entry. Remove the unreachable typeflag === '\0' check because line 34 converts NUL to '0'.

Node.js 22 fetch AbortSignal.timeout default request timeout undici

💡 Result:

In Node.js 22, the global fetch API does not have a default timeout for the entire request, meaning it can theoretically hang indefinitely if the server does not respond [1][2]. To implement a timeout, you should use the AbortSignal.timeout(ms) method provided by the global AbortSignal class [3][1]. However, there is a distinction between a total request timeout and the underlying connection-level timeout: 1. Request Timeout (Application Level): You can set this using { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(ms) } in your fetch options [1][4]. When this timer expires, the fetch promise will reject with a TimeoutError (or sometimes an AbortError in certain streaming scenarios) [5][1]. 2. Connection Timeout (Underlying Undici behavior): Node.js uses Undici as its underlying HTTP/1.1 client [6]. While you cannot set a global "default" timeout for all fetch calls, Undici does have a default internal connection timeout (typically 10 seconds) [6]. Some users report that this internal connection-level timeout is not always overridden by the standard AbortSignal.timeout(ms) passed to fetch [6]. To manage connection-level settings explicitly, you can provide a custom dispatcher using the Undici Agent [4]: const { Agent, fetch } = require('undici'); const dispatcher = new Agent({ connect: { timeout: 20000 } // Set connection timeout to 20 seconds }); await fetch('https://example.com', { dispatcher, signal: AbortSignal.timeout(30000) // Set total request timeout }); Additionally, if you encounter issues with slow DNS or IP family selection, you may need to adjust the auto-select family timeout separately using require('node:net').setDefaultAutoSelectFamilyAttemptTimeout(ms) [4].

PyPI JSON API urls packagetype values bdist_wheel sdist meaning

💡 Result:

In the PyPI JSON API, the packagetype field identifies the type of distribution package provided for a specific release file [1][2]. The two most common values for this field are bdist_wheel and sdist [3][4]. bdist_wheel (Built Distribution) A bdist_wheel file (or wheel) is a pre-built distribution format that is ready to be installed by package managers like pip [3][4][5]. Because it contains the package in its final, installed-ready structure, it does not require a build step on the user's machine [3][6]. This makes installation significantly faster and more reliable, especially for packages containing compiled C extensions [7][6][5]. sdist (Source Distribution) An sdist file is a source distribution—typically a.tar.gz archive—that contains the raw source code and necessary metadata to build the package [3][7][5]. When a user installs a package from an sdist, the installer must first build it (e.g., compile any C extensions) into a wheel before it can be installed [3][5]. Sdists serve as a fallback when a compatible pre-built wheel is unavailable for a user's specific platform or Python environment [7][5]. Other less common values for packagetype include older or legacy formats such as bdist_egg, bdist_wininst, bdist_msi, bdist_dumb, bdist_rpm, and bdist_dmg [8]. In modern Python packaging, it is best practice to publish both a wheel and an sdist for every release to ensure maximum compatibility and installation efficiency for all users [3][7].

Add the promised sdist fallback before reporting artifact problems.

When PyPI provides only an sdist, inspectPyPI reads no archive and returns licenseFileInArtifact: false. artifactProblems then emits no LICENSE file inside the published artifact, even when the sdist contains the license. Read the sdist with readTarGz, or suppress this problem when no supported artifact is available.

The classifier fallback returns a non-SPDX string, which guarantees drift.

The regex captures the middle of a trove classifier, so License :: OSI Approved :: Apache Software License yields "Apache Software". That value is compared with normalize() in sourceProblems (line 200) against SPDX identifiers such as Apache-2.0, so the comparison can never match. Every source manifest that declares its license only through classifiers is reported as drift. scripts/license-audit.test.mjs:334-338 currently pins this value.

Map the classifier to an SPDX identifier, or return UNKNOWN so sourceProblems stays silent instead of reporting a false verdict.

🐛 Proposed fix to map classifiers to SPDX
-  const classifier = toml.match(/License :: OSI Approved :: ([^"']+?) License/);
-  return classifier ? classifier[1] : UNKNOWN;
+  const CLASSIFIER_SPDX = {
+    'Apache Software License': 'Apache-2.0',
+    'MIT License': 'MIT',
+    'BSD License': 'BSD-3-Clause',
+    'ISC License (ISCL)': 'ISC',
+  };
+  const classifier = toml.match(/License :: OSI Approved :: (.+)$/m);
+  return classifier ? (CLASSIFIER_SPDX[classifier[1].trim()] ?? UNKNOWN) : UNKNOWN;

Classify a weak copyleft OR branch as weak.

Line 95 classifies (GPL-3.0-only OR LGPL-3.0-or-later) as strong. A consumer can select the LGPL branch. auditRepo then blocks the runtime dependency instead of reporting weak copyleft. Evaluate all OR branches and return weak when no permissive branch exists but at least one weak branch exists. Add this mixed-branch case to scripts/license-spdx.test.mjs.

A failing npm pack silently downgrades the gate to a pass.

The bare catch returns null for every failure, so auditRepo skips the license-shipped and notice-shipped rules and only adds a note. runCheck then exits 0. Those two rules cover the exact regression this PR fixes: NOTICE never reaching the published tarball. If npm pack breaks for any reason in CI, npm run license:check reports "OK — every license surface agrees" while the shipping rules were never evaluated.

Separate "npm is unavailable" from "npm pack failed", and let check fail in the second case.

🐛 Proposed fix
-export function packedFileList(root = ROOT) {
+export function packedFileList(root = ROOT, { required = false } = {}) {
   try {
     const out = execFileSync('npm', ['pack', '--dry-run', '--json', '--ignore-scripts'], {
       cwd: root,
       encoding: 'utf8',
       stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'ignore'],
     });
     const start = out.indexOf('[');
     return JSON.parse(out.slice(start))[0].files.map((f) => f.path);
-  } catch {
+  } catch (err) {
+    if (required && err.code !== 'ENOENT') {
+      throw new Error(`\`npm pack --dry-run\` failed, so the packed-file rules cannot run: ${err.message}`);
+    }
     return null;
   }
 }

Then call it as packedFileList(ROOT, { required: true }) in runCheck.

In `@scripts/license-truth.mjs` around lines 43 - 45, Update packedFileList to
distinguish an unavailable npm executable from an npm pack failure: preserve the
nullable result only for the unavailable-tool case, but propagate or otherwise
surface pack failures when required. In runCheck, invoke packedFileList(ROOT, {
required: true }) so npm pack errors cause the license check to fail instead of
skipping shipping rules.
