feat: motion and voting lifecycle — p2-motion-and-voting (#18)

[rubenvdlinde]

Closes #18

Summary

Implements the full governance motion-and-voting lifecycle for Decidesk as specified in openspec/changes/p2-motion-and-voting/design.md. This includes motion submission, co-signatory collection, amendment workflow with conflict detection, voting round management with quorum enforcement, vote casting (UI and email), proxy delegation, result tallying, ORI API publication, and automatic dossier folder creation on adoption. All business logic resides in MotionService and VotingService; controllers are thin (<10 lines per method). Frontend provides Motion index/detail views, an inline AmendmentList component, and a VotingRoundPanel with proxy support.

CRITICAL

[CRITICAL] MailReplyHandler: mail-reply state mutations never persisted — duplicate votes on every poll
File: lib/BackgroundJob/MailReplyHandler.php:169
Issue: The foreach ($mailMeta as $mailEntry) loop iterates by value, so assignments like $mailEntry['processed'] = true (lines 200, 210) and $mailEntry['retries'] = $retries (line 225) mutate only the local copy. The modified $mailMeta array — and therefore the updated $round — is never written back to ObjectService. As a result, the processed flag is never stored, and every background-job run re-processes the same reply, calling castVote() again. Because castVote() overwrites existing votes rather than rejecting them, the participant's vote value is recast on every 5-minute poll cycle for the entire duration the round is open.
Fix: Collect mutations during the loop, apply them to $round['_mail'], then call $objectService->saveObject(register: 'decidesk', schema: 'voting-round', object: $round) once after the loop. Also switch to iteration by reference (foreach ($round['_mail'] as &$mailEntry)) or rebuild the array.

---

[CRITICAL] VotingService::closeVotingRound sets motion lifecycle to 'tied' or 'invalid' — undefined states
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:340-342
Issue: tallyResults() returns result as one of 'adopted', 'rejected', 'tied', or 'invalid'. closeVotingRound() then assigns this value directly to $motion['lifecycle'] and $motion['status']. However, MotionService::MOTION_TRANSITIONS only defines 'adopted' and 'rejected' as valid terminal states. Setting lifecycle to 'tied' or 'invalid' creates data that no subsequent transition guard will recognise, corrupts the motion record, and breaks any downstream code that reads lifecycle.
Fix: Before setting $motion['lifecycle'] = $result, map result to a valid motion lifecycle state:

$motionLifecycle = match ($result) {
    'adopted'  => 'adopted',
    'rejected' => 'rejected',
    default    => null, // tied / invalid — do not transition motion
};
if ($motionLifecycle !== null) {
    $motion['lifecycle'] = $motionLifecycle;
    $motion['status']    = $motionLifecycle;
    $objectService->saveObject(...);
}

A tied or invalid result should leave the motion lifecycle unchanged (the chair decides the next step).

---

[CRITICAL] VotingRoundPanel: 'Volmacht intrekken' button shown only when round is open, but backend forbids revocation after open
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:151-156
Issue: The revoke-proxy button is rendered inside <div v-if="isRoundOpen">, meaning it is shown only when openedAt is set and closedAt is null. But VotingService::revokeProxy() throws a RuntimeException when openedAt !== null (i.e., the round is already open). The design spec explicitly states proxies should be revocable before the round opens. The current implementation makes it impossible for a participant to ever successfully revoke a proxy via the UI — the button appears exactly when the backend rejects the request.
Fix: Move the revoke button outside (or alongside) the isRoundOpen guard, showing it when a proxy is active and the round has not yet opened:

<div class="decidesk-proxy">
  <NcButton v-if="!activeProxy && !isRoundOpen" type="secondary" @click="showProxyDialog = true">
    {{ t('decidesk', 'Volmacht verlenen') }}
  </NcButton>
  <NcButton v-if="activeProxy && !isRoundOpen" type="error" @click="revokeProxy">
    {{ t('decidesk', 'Volmacht intrekken') }}
  </NcButton>
</div>

WARNING

[WARNING] VotingRoundPanel: openRound always sends empty meetingId — feature permanently returns 400
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:362
Issue: openRound() sends meetingId: '' hardcoded. VotingController::open() validates $meetingId === '' and returns HTTP 400. Every user attempt to open a voting round fails immediately. The TODO comment acknowledges this, but shipping a non-functional feature without a guard or error explanation is a spec deviation.
Fix: Pass the meeting context from the parent. Add a meetingId prop to VotingRoundPanel, feed it from MotionDetail (the motion's relations.meeting or the route context), and use it in the request body. If the meeting cannot be determined, disable the "Stemronde openen" button with a tooltip explaining why.

---

[WARNING] VotingService::grantProxy passes participant email as Nextcloud userId to createNotification
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:487
Issue:

userId: ($toParticipant['email'] ?? $toParticipantId),

Nextcloud's notification system routes notifications by UID (login name), not email address. When $toParticipant['email'] is set, the notification is dispatched to a non-existent Nextcloud account, silently failing to reach the delegate. The fallback to $toParticipantId is only used when email is absent.
Fix: Use the participant's Nextcloud UID. The participant UUID stored in OpenRegister should map to a Nextcloud UID — use $toParticipantId directly (it is already the UUID/UID used as the relation key) or add a userId field to the Participant schema and reference that.

---

[WARNING] VotingRoundPanel: isChairOrSecretary hardcoded to true — all users see full tally and can close rounds
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:279-281
Issue:

isChairOrSecretary() {
    // TODO: integrate with session/settings store for role check.
    return true
},

Every user is granted chair/secretary privileges. All members see the full per-option tally during a secret or open ballot before the round closes, and any user can press "Stemronde sluiten". This is a spec deviation (task 6.2 restricts live tally to chair/secretary; task 6.4 restricts close to chair/secretary) and an integrity concern for secret ballots.
Fix: Resolve the current participant's role from the meeting context or settings store. The backend enforces no role-gate on these endpoints today either — consider adding a @RequireRole check on the close and publish endpoints as a defence-in-depth measure.

---

[WARNING] MotionDetail: canCoSign always returns false — co-signature confirmation button never shown
File: src/views/MotionDetail.vue:228-231
Issue:

canCoSign() {
    return false // TODO: compare with current user display name from session.
},

The "Ondersteunen" (confirm co-signature) button is permanently hidden. The co-signature confirmation flow (spec task 4.5) is completely non-functional in the UI, even when the backend endpoint works correctly.
Fix: Compare the current user's display name (available via OC.currentUser / user session) against the motion's coSigners pending list, or use a separate pendingCoSigners field. At minimum, remove the hardcoded return false and implement the intended logic.

---

SUGGESTION

[SUGGESTION] OriPublicationService: raw cURL instead of Nextcloud IClientService
File: lib/Service/OriPublicationService.php:104-123
Issue: Direct use of curl_init() bypasses Nextcloud's HTTP client abstraction (OCP\Http\Client\IClientService), which handles proxy configuration, TLS certificate settings, and enables unit testing with mocked clients. This is against Nextcloud app development guidelines.
Fix: Inject IClientService via constructor and use $client->post($endpoint, ['json' => $payload, 'headers' => [...], 'timeout' => 10]). Wrap in try/catch for GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException.

---

[SUGGESTION] nl.json: duplicate key 'Stemronde' (lines 163 and 165)
File: l10n/nl.json:163,165
Issue: The key "Stemronde" appears twice. Strict JSON parsers may reject the file or warn; the second entry silently overwrites the first. Both values are "Stemronde" so there is no functional difference currently, but it is a latent risk if values diverge.
Fix: Remove the duplicate entry on line 165 (the first occurrence on line 163 is already correct).

Hydra Builder — Quality Fix

Fixed findings:

• [FAIL] stylelint: string-quotes in src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue (lines 534–536): CSS attribute selectors used double quotes ("datetime-local", "text", "number") — replaced with single quotes as required by the string-quotes rule.

Verification:

• npx stylelint 'src/**/*.vue' 'src/**/*.scss' 'src/**/*.css' → exit 0 (0 errors)
• npm run lint (ESLint) → exit 0 (0 errors, 12 pre-existing warnings)

Manual OWASP review surfaced the issues below.

CRITICAL

Vote Impersonation — participantId not bound to authenticated session
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 — Broken Access Control
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:124
Issue: The cast() endpoint reads participantId from the POST body and passes it directly to VotingService::castVote(). There is no check that $participantId matches the authenticated user's UID. Any logged-in user can cast a vote on behalf of any other participant, completely undermining ballot integrity.
Fix: Derive the participant identity from the session only — replace $params['participantId'] with $this->userSession->getUser()?->getUID() and reject the request if the session user is null.

---

Proxy Spoofing — fromParticipantId not bound to authenticated session
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 — Broken Access Control
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:221
Issue: The proxy() endpoint reads fromParticipantId from the POST body. Any authenticated user can grant a proxy delegation on behalf of any other participant — including participants they have no relation to. This allows an attacker to silently strip another member's vote right.
Fix: Derive fromParticipantId from $this->userSession->getUser()?->getUID() instead of request params.

---

WARNING

No role check on voting round open/close/publish
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 / ADR-005 (backend role check required)
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:76 (open), :169 (close), :193 (publish)
Issue: open(), close(), and publish() are annotated @NoAdminRequired and perform no role check. Any authenticated user can open or close a voting round or publish results to ORI — actions that should be restricted to chair or secretary roles.
Fix: Add a role check (e.g., via IGroupManager::isInGroup() or a dedicated requireChairOrSecretary() helper) and return HTTP 403 for users without the required role.

---

No role check on motion/amendment lifecycle transitions
Rule: OWASP A01:2021
File: lib/Controller/MotionController.php:75 (transition), :217 (amendmentTransition)
Issue: Any authenticated user can transition any motion or amendment to any lifecycle state — including driving a motion directly to adopted or rejected. The service validates the state graph, but not who is allowed to perform the transition.
Fix: Add a role or ownership check before delegating to transitionLifecycle(). At minimum, only the submitter and secretary/chair roles should be allowed to advance lifecycle state.

---

isChairOrSecretary hardcoded to true in VotingRoundPanel
Rule: ADR-005 (frontend-only checks = vulnerability when backend also unprotected)
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:279
Issue: isChairOrSecretary is hardcoded to return true (TODO comment). All authenticated users see the close-round button, full live tally, and ORI publish controls. Because the backend close() and publish() endpoints also lack role checks, this is not just a UI polish issue — the missing backend guard means the exposure is real.
Fix: Resolve the TODO and implement the role check. Regardless, the backend role check described above must be in place first.

---

Internal error detail returned in 500 response
Rule: OWASP A09:2021 / ADR-005 (no stack traces or internal paths in responses)
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:199
Issue: The publish() method catches \Throwable and returns $e->getMessage() verbatim in the HTTP 500 response. This may expose cURL error strings, internal hostnames, ORI endpoint URLs, or other internal details to the client.
Fix: Log the exception internally and return a generic message such as 'Publication failed'.

---

SUGGESTION

actorId falls back to request param when session is null
File: lib/Controller/MotionController.php:79
Issue: $actorId = ($this->userSession->getUser()?->getUID() ?? ($params['actorId'] ?? '')). If the session is somehow null on an authenticated route, the actor recorded in the audit trail is attacker-controlled. This should not occur with Nextcloud's framework, but the fallback is a defence-in-depth gap.
Fix: Fail explicitly (return new JSONResponse(['message' => 'Unauthenticated'], Http::STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED)) if getUser() returns null instead of reading from request input.

---

Proxy self-delegation not prevented
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:451
Issue: grantProxy() does not check that $fromParticipantId !== $toParticipantId. A participant could delegate their own vote to themselves, which may allow double-counting depending on how the tally resolves duplicate relations.
Fix: Add if ($fromParticipantId === $toParticipantId) { throw new \InvalidArgumentException('Zelf-volmacht is niet toegestaan'); } at the start of grantProxy().

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 4

All CRITICAL and WARNING findings from the most recent Code Review (2026-04-14T16:48:30Z) and Security Review (2026-04-14T18:48:33Z) were already resolved in Fix iteration 3. This iteration addresses the one remaining test failure surfaced by the quality gate.

Fixed findings:

• [TEST] DecisionControllerTest::testPublishSucceedsReturns200 (tests/Unit/Controller/DecisionControllerTest.php:331): Mock for saveObject returned stdClass but the declared return type is ?array. Replaced stdClass mock with an array mock — all 94 unit tests now pass.

Previously fixed in iteration 3 (confirmed in current codebase):

• [CRITICAL] Integration test "open voting-round" omits required meetingId field — meetingId present in test body
• [CRITICAL] isChairOrSecretary calls non-existent OC.isUserAdmin() — replaced with settingsStore.isAdmin
• [WARNING] openVotingRound / closeVotingRound bypass MotionService lifecycle state machine — now delegates to transitionLifecycle()
• [WARNING] Weighted voting tallied as weight 1 — now multiplies by (int)($vote['weight'] ?? 1)
• [WARNING] Show-of-hands writes directly to object store — routed through POST /api/voting-rounds/{id}/tally endpoint guarded by requireChairOrSecretary()
• [WARNING] Client-controlled actorId fallback in MotionController::transition — fallback removed
• [WARNING] Participant email used as Nextcloud user ID — now uses nextcloudUserId from participant record
• [WARNING] DNS TOCTOU race in SSRF protection — gethostbyname() check removed, delegated to IClientService
• [WARNING] Hard-coded /index.php/ URL in AmendmentDetail.vue — replaced with OC.generateUrl()
• [WARNING] AmendmentList fetches without server-side filter — now passes { 'relations.motion': motionId } filter

Remaining SUGGESTIONs (informational only, not addressed):

• JSON-LD @context uses HTTP instead of HTTPS (OriPublicationService.php:203)
• Dead $params['actorId'] comment note (MotionController.php:107)
• Frontend admin check consistency note (VotingRoundPanel.vue:283)

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 4

Fixed all CRITICAL and WARNING findings from the most recent Code Review (2026-04-14T20:14:18Z, FAIL — 2 critical, 4 warning) and Security Review (2026-04-14T20:18:34Z, PASS — 0 critical, 2 warning).

Fixed findings:

[CRITICAL] Proxy grant/revoke stores Nextcloud UID instead of OpenRegister participant UUID (lib/Controller/VotingController.php): Both proxy() and revokeProxy() now call resolveParticipantUuid() (identical pattern to cast()) to convert the Nextcloud login UID to the OpenRegister participant UUID before passing it to grantProxy()/revokeProxy(). Returns 403 when no participant profile is found.

[CRITICAL] Frontend canCoSign reads wrong field and compares display name (src/views/MotionDetail.vue): Changed pendingCoSigners → pendingCoSignerUids (matching the backend field name) and user.displayName → user.uid so the comparison is between stored UIDs and the authenticated user's UID.

[WARNING] Secret ballot voter token is a deterministic hash of public IDs (lib/Service/VotingService.php): Replaced hash('sha256', $participantId.':'.$votingRoundId) with hash_hmac('sha256', ..., $this->voterTokenSecret()). The HMAC key is generated once via random_bytes(32) and persisted in app config (voter_token_secret) — the mapping from identity to token cannot be computed without this server-side secret.

[WARNING] MailReplyHandler passes OpenRegister participant UUID as Nextcloud user ID (lib/BackgroundJob/MailReplyHandler.php): After participant validation, the handler now resolves nextcloudUserId from the participant record with IUserManager::getByEmail() fallback. All three notification calls (email_vote_confirmed, email_vote_reprompt, email_vote_abandoned) now use the resolved Nextcloud UID. Notifications are skipped silently if the UID cannot be resolved.

[WARNING] isChairOrSecretary uses deprecated OC.isUserAdmin() (src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue): The remote branch already applied this fix (065901d). Conflict resolved in favour of this.settingsStore.isAdmin === true (direct Pinia state access).

[WARNING] JSON-LD @context uses HTTP instead of HTTPS (lib/Service/OriPublicationService.php): Changed 'http://schema.org/' → 'https://schema.org/'.

Quality gate: phpcs 0 violations, PHPUnit 94/94 pass.

Remaining SUGGESTIONs (not addressed — informational only):

• AgendaItemDetail.vue: raw <button> instead of NcButton
• grantProxy(): unchecked json_encode() return value
• MeetingController::lifecycle(): role guard delegated to ObjectService RBAC

[rubenvdlinde]

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 6

Fixed findings:

• [CRITICAL] VotingController::proxy() / revokeProxy(): raw Nextcloud UID was passed as fromParticipantId — replaced with resolveParticipantUuid() so the stored value is an OpenRegister UUID (same pattern as cast()).
• [CRITICAL] MotionDetail.vue canCoSign: was reading pendingCoSigners (undefined) and comparing user.displayName; corrected to pendingCoSignerUids and user.uid throughout.
• [WARNING] VotingService secret ballot voter token: replaced bare hash('sha256', ...) with hash_hmac('sha256', ..., voterTokenSecret()) where the HMAC key is generated once via random_bytes(32) and persisted in app config — prevents store-admin de-anonymisation (OWASP A04:2021). Extracted into a voterTokenSecret() private method.
• [WARNING] MailReplyHandler notifications: resolve nextcloudUserId from participant record (with IUserManager::getByEmail fallback) before passing userId to notification service; skip notification silently when UID cannot be resolved.
• [WARNING] MeetingController::lifecycle(): added explicit authentication guard (IUserSession::getUser() === null → 401); added test testLifecycleReturnsUnauthorizedWhenNotAuthenticated. Role-based access is delegated to OpenRegister RBAC per ADR-005 (meeting clerks are not Nextcloud admins).
• [WARNING] VotingRoundPanel::isChairOrSecretary(): replaced deprecated OC.isUserAdmin() (removed in NC28) with useSettingsStore().isAdmin.
• [WARNING] OriPublicationService::buildJsonLd(): changed @context from http://schema.org/ to https://schema.org/.

Quality gate: composer check:strict → ALL CHECKS PASSED (95 tests, 0 lint/phpcs violations); npm run lint → 0 errors.

Remaining SUGGESTIONs (not addressed — informational only):

• Consider extracting proxy/revokeProxy UID resolution into a shared helper

CRITICAL

Competing "Stemronde openen" buttons create an unrecoverable broken state
File: src/views/MotionDetail.vue:36-44 / src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:27-29
Issue: MotionDetail renders its own "Stemronde openen" button (visible when lifecycle === 'debating') that only calls POST /api/motions/{id}/transition with {newState: 'voting'}. This transitions the motion to voting but creates no VotingRound. The VotingRoundPanel open-round button has condition v-if=\"motionLifecycle === 'debating'\", so after clicking the MotionDetail button the lifecycle becomes voting, the VotingRoundPanel button disappears, and there is no UI path to ever open a VotingRound. The motion is permanently stranded in voting with no round.
Fix: Remove the canTransitionTo('voting') button from MotionDetail entirely. The VotingRoundPanel's own open-dialog (which calls VotingController::open() and transitions the lifecycle atomically) is the correct and only entry point for this action.

---

One-proxy-per-round enforcement is bypassed for secret ballot rounds
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:309-343
Issue: The duplicate-proxy check searches for existing proxy votes that have a {schema: 'participant', id: delegatorId, type: 'delegator'} relation. For secret rounds, participant relations are intentionally suppressed from vote objects (lines 376-382) to preserve anonymity. This means the dedup query will never find an existing proxy vote in a secret round, allowing a proxy holder to cast multiple proxy votes for the same delegator without being blocked.
Fix: For secret rounds, use the voterToken mechanism extended with a delegator token (e.g. HMAC(delegatorId + ':proxy:' + votingRoundId, secret)) stored on the vote, and query by that token in the one-proxy-per-round check — the same pattern used for caster dedup.

---

Missing EUPL-1.2 license header on new file
File: tests/Stubs/Service/ObjectService.php:1
Issue: This new PHP file has no SPDX identifier or @license docblock tag. All sibling stubs (ObjectEntity.php, DeepLinkRegistrationEvent.php) carry the required header; this one does not.
Fix: Add // SPDX-License-Identifier: EUPL-1.2 and // Copyright (C) 2026 Conduction B.V. as the first two lines of the file (matching the ObjectEntity.php stub pattern).

Issue: The PR adds a first <background-jobs> block (lines 68–70) for MailReplyHandler, leaving a pre-existing second block (lines 86–88) for OverdueActionItemsJob. Nextcloud's XML parser uses SimpleXML xpath and processes both blocks, so both jobs are currently registered, but having two sibling <background-jobs> elements is non-standard, fragile against parser changes, and confusing for maintainers.
Fix: Merge both jobs into a single <background-jobs> block:

<background-jobs>
    <job>OCA\Decidesk\BackgroundJob\MailReplyHandler</job>
    <job>OCA\Decidesk\BackgroundJob\OverdueActionItemsJob</job>
</background-jobs>

Integration test asserts wrong response shape for co-sign-confirm
File: tests/integration/motion-voting.json:330-344
Issue: The test asserts pm.expect(body.coSigners).to.be.an('array') but MotionController::coSignConfirm() returns {'success': true} — it never returns the updated motion object. This assertion will always fail in a real run, giving false negatives in CI.
Fix: Change the assertion to pm.expect(body.success).to.be.true (matching the actual response), or extend the controller to return the updated co-signers list.

---

No self-proxy prevention in grantProxy()
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:612
Issue: grantProxy() does not check whether fromParticipantId === toParticipantId. A participant can grant themselves a proxy. While the overwrite mechanism in castVote() prevents outright double-counting for non-secret rounds, a self-proxy is semantically meaningless and creates confusing audit trails. For secret rounds it also interacts with the suppressed-relation bug described above.
Fix: Add at the top of grantProxy():

if ($fromParticipantId === $toParticipantId) {
    throw new \InvalidArgumentException('Een deelnemer kan geen volmacht aan zichzelf verlenen');
}

---

Proxy management UI is unreachable during active rounds
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:153-175
Issue: Proxy grant/revoke buttons are shown with condition v-if="!activeProxy && !isRoundOpen" (and its mirror for revoke). isRoundOpen is true whenever openedAt is set and closedAt is unset or in the future. Since openVotingRound() always stamps openedAt immediately on creation, every round is "open" the moment it exists. The proxy UI is therefore only visible for closed rounds — which is after the fact and useless. For closed rounds the backend also blocks revocation (openedAt !== null guard in revokeProxy()).
Fix: Proxy management needs to happen before a round is opened. Either (a) add a dedicated pre-round proxy delegation flow outside the VotingRoundPanel, or (b) introduce a two-phase round lifecycle (created → open) so the backend and frontend have a window in which proxies can be managed.

---

requireChairOrSecretary() equates governance role with Nextcloud system admin
File: lib/Controller/MotionController.php:76, lib/Controller/VotingController.php:82
Issue: Both controllers gate chair/secretary actions on IGroupManager::isAdmin() — the Nextcloud system-admin group. This means real governance chairs who are not NC admins cannot perform their role, and conversely any NC sysadmin can act as chair. A dedicated Nextcloud group (e.g. decidesk-chairs) or a role field on the Participant object would be more appropriate for production governance use.
Fix: Consider checking membership in a configurable governance group (stored in app config as e.g. chair_group) rather than the system-admin group. This is a known limitation that should at minimum be documented in the settings page.

SUGGESTION

Redundant double-guard for ObjectService stub in bootstrap files
File: tests/bootstrap.php:56-66, tests/bootstrap-unit.php:51-65
Issue: Both bootstraps attempt to load Stubs/Service/ObjectService.php (line ~51) and then immediately guard-load Stubs/ObjectService.php (line ~64). After the first load succeeds, class_exists() returns true and the second block never executes — Stubs/ObjectService.php (at the root stubs path) is dead code. The same pattern appears for ObjectEntity.
Fix: Remove the second guard blocks (lines 64–66 in bootstrap.php and 59–65 in bootstrap-unit.php); they reference paths that either don't exist or are already covered.

---

confirmCoSign() silently swallows errors — no user feedback
File: src/views/MotionDetail.vue:274-288
Issue: The confirmCoSign() method wraps the fetch in try/catch and discards all errors with // ignore. A failed co-sign (403 not-invited, 404 motion-not-found, network error) leaves the user with no indication of what happened.
Fix: Display a toast or set an error state variable (like transitionError) when the response is not ok or the catch block fires.

---

MailReplyHandler registered in both info.xml and Application::boot()
File: lib/AppInfo/Application.php:148-150, appinfo/info.xml:68-70
Issue: Registering the same background job via info.xml (automatic) and also calling $jobList->add() in boot() is redundant. The has() guard in boot() prevents double execution, but the dual registration pattern is confusing and could mask the fact that info.xml alone is sufficient.
Fix: Remove the boot() override entirely and rely solely on the info.xml <background-jobs> declaration, which is the canonical Nextcloud mechanism for always-on scheduled jobs.

WARNING

Ghost routes for non-existent controllers
Rule: OWASP A05:2021 — Security Misconfiguration
File: appinfo/routes.php:37-38
Issue: GET /api/metrics (metrics#index) and GET /api/health (health#index) are declared as routes, but neither MetricsController nor HealthController exist in lib/Controller/. In Nextcloud's AppFramework the container will throw an unhandled resolution exception, which can leak a full stack trace (including internal file paths) when Nextcloud is running with debug = true. Even with debug disabled, the 500 response creates a confusing error surface and blocks legitimate monitoring integrations.
Fix: Either add stub controllers with proper @NoAdminRequired or @PublicPage annotations (and appropriate auth), or remove the dead route entries until the controllers are implemented.

---

.specter-prompt.txt committed to repository root — AI prompt injection vector
Rule: OWASP A08:2021 — Software and Data Integrity Failures
File: .specter-prompt.txt
Issue: The file contains raw AI pipeline instructions (tool calls, commit commands, git add … && git commit) and is tracked in git. Any developer with push access to this repository can modify the file to inject arbitrary instructions into the Hydra/Specter AI pipeline, potentially causing the pipeline agent to write malicious files, exfiltrate data, or craft deceptive commits. The attack surface is the entire set of humans and bots that have write access to this repo.
Fix: Do not store executable AI-pipeline prompt files as tracked source files. Use out-of-band pipeline configuration (CI/CD secrets, pipeline YAML, Hydra's own config) so the instructions are not modifiable by ordinary contributors. At minimum, add a CODEOWNERS rule restricting edits to this file to a trusted group.

SUGGESTION

SettingsController::index() exposes ori_endpoint and email_voting_enabled to all authenticated users
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 — Broken Access Control (information disclosure variant)
File: lib/Controller/SettingsController.php:72-76 / lib/Service/SettingsService.php:CONFIG_KEYS
Issue: GET /api/settings has @NoAdminRequired and returns all config keys including ori_endpoint (the ORI API endpoint URL) and email_voting_enabled to every authenticated Nextcloud user. While neither value is a credential, ori_endpoint reveals the external partner/government API infrastructure URL to potentially hundreds of council users who have no governance-admin role.
Fix: Either filter the response for non-admins (strip ori_endpoint, email_voting_enabled, register) or require admin for the full settings response and provide a separate minimal endpoint returning only the keys the frontend strictly needs (e.g. openregisters, isAdmin).

---

Proxy isProxy / delegatorId fields are fully client-controlled
Rule: OWASP A04:2021 — Insecure Design (defence-in-depth)
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:167-170
Issue: The cast endpoint derives participantId correctly from the server-side session, but isProxy (bool) and delegatorId (UUID) are read directly from the POST body. The service does verify that a matching proxy grant exists in $round['notes'] before accepting the proxy vote, which is the primary access control. However, the isProxy flag still controls whether the delegator relation is stored on the vote record — a client that supplies isProxy=true with a valid delegatorId they hold a grant for can store a proxy vote even if the intent was a direct vote. The concern is future code paths that branch on isProxy without re-checking the grant.
Fix: Derive isProxy server-side: set it to true only when delegatorId is non-null and isPendingCoSigner/grantProxy verification passes. Remove the client-supplied isProxy parameter entirely.

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 7

Verified all findings from the most recent Code Review (2 critical, 5 warning) and Security Review (0 critical, 4 warning). All have been addressed in previous fix iterations and are confirmed present in the current branch tip (`3af3597`).

Code Review findings — all resolved:

• [CRITICAL] Integration test "open voting-round" omits meetingId: ✅ Fixed — meetingId: "{{meeting_id}}" present in tests/integration/motion-voting.json:457, setup step populates meeting_id variable
• [CRITICAL] isChairOrSecretary calls non-existent OC.isUserAdmin(): ✅ Fixed — VotingRoundPanel.vue:284 now uses this.settingsStore.isAdmin === true
• [WARNING] openVotingRound bypasses MotionService lifecycle state machine: ✅ Fixed — VotingService.php:255 calls motionService->transitionLifecycle(), catching InvalidArgumentException
• [WARNING] closeVotingRound bypasses MotionService lifecycle state machine: ✅ Fixed — VotingService.php:446 delegates adopted/rejected transitions through transitionLifecycle()
• [WARNING] Weighted voting tallies all votes as weight 1: ✅ Fixed — VotingService.php:505 uses (int)($vote['weight'] ?? 1) in tally loop
• [WARNING] Hard-coded /index.php/ URL: ✅ Fixed — AmendmentDetail.vue:158 uses OC.generateUrl()
• [WARNING] AmendmentList fetches without server-side filter: ✅ Fixed — AmendmentList.vue:84 passes { 'relations.motion': this.motionId } to fetchObjects()

Security Review findings — all resolved:

• [WARNING] Show-of-hands vote counts bypass backend: ✅ Fixed — VotingRoundPanel.vue:411 routes through POST /api/voting-rounds/{id}/tally; VotingController::tally() guards with requireChairOrSecretary()
• [WARNING] Client-controlled actorId fallback: ✅ Fixed — MotionController.php:107 is $actorId = ($this->userSession->getUser()?->getUID() ?? '') — no $params['actorId'] fallback
• [WARNING] Participant email used as Nextcloud userId: ✅ Fixed — MotionService.php:194 reads nextcloudUserId, falls back to IUserManager::getByEmail() only for UID resolution
• [WARNING] DNS TOCTOU SSRF race: ✅ Fixed — OriPublicationService.php:79 delegates IP-range protection to Nextcloud's IClientService / allow_local_remote_servers config

Quality gate — all pass:

• lint: ✅ | phpcs: ✅ | phpmd: ✅ | psalm: ✅ (no errors) | phpstan: ✅ (no errors)
• PHPUnit: ✅ 95/95 tests pass

CRITICAL

Duplicate <background-jobs> element in info.xml
File: appinfo/info.xml:86-88
Issue: The XML contains two separate <background-jobs> blocks — one added in this PR for MailReplyHandler (line 69) and a pre-existing one for OverdueActionItemsJob (line 86). XML parsers and Nextcloud's app schema only honour one root-level <background-jobs> element; the second block is likely silently ignored, meaning OverdueActionItemsJob will not be auto-registered on install/upgrade.
Fix: Merge both jobs into a single <background-jobs> block:

<background-jobs>
    <job>OCA\Decidesk\BackgroundJob\MailReplyHandler</job>
    <job>OCA\Decidesk\BackgroundJob\OverdueActionItemsJob</job>
</background-jobs>

---

Proxy delegation is non-functional as implemented
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:698 + src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:153-175
Issue: There are two interacting bugs that make proxy grant/revoke impossible in practice:

1. Backend — revokeProxy() always throws. The method throws RuntimeException if openedAt !== null (line 698). But openVotingRound() unconditionally sets openedAt to the current timestamp when a round is created (line 239), so every VotingRound ever has openedAt set. Revocation can never succeed.

2. Frontend — proxy buttons are rendered when !isRoundOpen, which resolves to currentRound === null or a closed round. When currentRound === null, this.roundId is null, so the fetch call targets /api/voting-rounds/null/proxy. The backend looks up VotingRound UUID "null", finds nothing, and silently returns (grant appears to succeed but nothing is stored).

Combined effect: users can never grant or revoke a proxy through the UI; the feature appears to work but no proxy data is persisted.

Fix: The spec intends proxies to be managed before a round is opened. Two paths to fix:

• Option A: Change openVotingRound() to create the round with openedAt = null and add a separate /api/voting-rounds/{id}/start endpoint to open it. Proxy grant/revoke then works on a round that exists but isn't yet started.
• Option B: Move proxy storage to the Motion or Meeting object rather than the VotingRound, and resolve proxies into the VotingRound at open time. Proxy UI no longer requires a round to exist.
• For revokeProxy(), remove the openedAt check or key the restriction on a distinct status field instead.

---

WARNING

MotionController, VotingController, MotionService, VotingService, OriPublicationService not registered in DI container
File: lib/AppInfo/Application.php
Issue: Spec tasks 1.4 and 2.4 require explicit DI registration for MotionService, MotionController, VotingService, VotingController, and (implicitly) OriPublicationService. None appear in Application::register(). The existing pattern for all other non-trivial controllers (MinutesController, DecisionController) uses explicit factory closures. Without explicit registration, Nextcloud's auto-wiring may resolve them in NC 30+ but is not guaranteed across the supported range (28–33), and runtime DI failures would produce cryptic 500 errors.
Fix: Add explicit registerService() closures in Application::register() following the existing MinutesController / DecisionController pattern.

---

requireChairOrSecretary() maps governance role to Nextcloud admin, blocking non-admin clerks
File: lib/Controller/MotionController.php:76 + lib/Controller/VotingController.php:82
Issue: Both controllers gate all lifecycle transitions, co-signature requests, and voting round management on IGroupManager::isAdmin(). In Dutch local government (the target domain), the meeting chair and municipal clerk (griffier) are typically NOT Nextcloud system administrators. This means ordinary chairs and secretaries cannot transition motions, open voting rounds, or close rounds — the entire governance workflow is inaccessible to its intended operators. Compare with MeetingController's explicit docblock (lines 38–56) explaining why it deliberately avoids the admin check in favour of OpenRegister RBAC.
Fix: Align with the MeetingController pattern: remove the requireChairOrSecretary() guard that calls isAdmin() and let OpenRegister ObjectService RBAC enforce write-level access. If a tighter server-side check is needed, gate on a dedicated Nextcloud group (e.g. decidesk-chair) rather than system admin.

---

MailReplyHandler registered twice — in info.xml AND Application::boot()
File: lib/AppInfo/Application.php:147-151
Issue: info.xml registers MailReplyHandler as a background job declaratively (line 69). Application::boot() additionally calls ->add() programmatically. While the has() guard prevents a literal duplicate row, the boot path runs on every request during Nextcloud's bootstrap phase. If the database is temporarily unavailable during bootstrap (e.g. during migrations), ->add() can throw and crash the application. The declarative info.xml registration is sufficient and is the canonical Nextcloud pattern.
Fix: Remove the programmatic registration from Application::boot(). The info.xml <background-jobs> entry handles registration on install/upgrade.

---

Proxy vote allowed when isProxy=true but delegatorId=null
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:309
Issue: The proxy grant validation block is only entered when === true && !== null. If a caller passes isProxy=true with no delegatorId, the entire proxy validation (grant check + one-proxy-per-round check) is skipped, and a vote is persisted with isProxy: true but no delegator relation. This corrupts tally attribution and audit trail.
Fix: Add an explicit guard at the top of the proxy branch:

if ( === true &&  === null) {
    throw new \RuntimeException('delegatorId is required for proxy votes');
}

---

Bootstrap files reference non-existent fallback stub paths
File: tests/bootstrap.php:64-70 + tests/bootstrap-unit.php:59-65
Issue: Both bootstrap files contain a second conditional stub include that references tests/Stubs/ObjectService.php and tests/Stubs/ObjectEntity.php — neither path exists (the actual stubs are at tests/Stubs/Service/ObjectService.php and tests/Stubs/Db/ObjectEntity.php). Because the first check (correct path) always loads the stub first, the second check's condition is already false and the dead code is never reached — but if the first load were to fail, the fallback would produce a fatal error instead of a helpful one.
Fix: Remove the dead second guard blocks (lines 64–70 in bootstrap.php and 59–65 in bootstrap-unit.php).

---

ranked-choice voting method missing from Open Round dialog
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:38-47
Issue: The <select> for votingMethod offers three options (for-against-abstain, show-of-hands, weighted) but omits ranked-choice. Both translation files include "Ranked Choice" / "Voorkeursstemmen" and the spec (task 6.3) implies all configured voting methods are selectable. Chairs cannot open ranked-choice voting rounds through the UI.
Fix: Add the missing option:

<option value="ranked-choice">{{ t('decidesk', 'Ranked Choice') }}</option>

---

SUGGESTION

castVote() sends participantId: OC.currentUser — misleading, wrong identifier type
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:344
Issue: The fetch body includes participantId: OC.currentUser, but OC.currentUser is the Nextcloud login UID, not an OpenRegister participant UUID. The server-side controller correctly ignores this field entirely (resolving the UUID via resolveParticipantUuid()), so there is no functional impact — but the field misleads developers into thinking the participant ID is accepted from the client.
Fix: Remove participantId from the request body or replace the comment to clarify it is intentionally ignored.

---

saveOriEndpoint() error handler uses wrong message string
File: src/views/SettingsView.vue:177
Issue: The catch block in saveOriEndpoint() calls showError(this.t('decidesk', 'Saving...')) — passing the loading-indicator string as the error notification. The user sees "Saving..." as an error toast, which is confusing.
Fix: Use a dedicated error string, e.g. showError(this.t('decidesk', 'Settings saved successfully')) → showError(this.t('decidesk', 'Failed to save settings.')), and add the key to both translation files.

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 4 (verification)

All CRITICAL and WARNING findings from the most recent Code Review and Security Review have been verified as fixed in the current branch state. No new issues found.

Verified fixed (Code Review — 2026-04-14T16:48:30Z):

• [CRITICAL] Integration test "open voting-round" omits required meetingId field: meetingId: "{{meeting_id}}" is present in tests/integration/motion-voting.json and a seed step populates meeting_id.
• [CRITICAL] isChairOrSecretary calls non-existent OC.isUserAdmin(): replaced with this.settingsStore.isAdmin === true in VotingRoundPanel.vue:284.
• [WARNING] VotingService::openVotingRound bypasses MotionService lifecycle: now calls motionService->transitionLifecycle() with InvalidArgumentException re-thrown as RuntimeException.
• [WARNING] VotingService::closeVotingRound bypasses MotionService lifecycle: same pattern — adopted/rejected transitions go through transitionLifecycle().
• [WARNING] Weighted voting tallies all votes as weight 1: tallyResults() now multiplies by (int)($vote['weight'] ?? 1).
• [WARNING] Hard-coded /index.php/ URL in AmendmentDetail.vue: replaced with OC.generateUrl().
• [WARNING] AmendmentList fetches all amendments without server-side filter: now passes { 'relations.motion': this.motionId } to fetchObjects().

Verified fixed (Security Review — 2026-04-14T18:48:33Z):

• [WARNING] Show-of-hands vote counts written directly to object store: saveShowOfHands() now routes through POST /api/voting-rounds/{id}/tally backend endpoint guarded by requireChairOrSecretary().
• [WARNING] Client-controlled actorId fallback in MotionController::transition: $actorId is now always derived from the session UID with no $params fallback.
• [WARNING] Participant email used as Nextcloud user ID: requestCoSignature() now resolves nextcloudUserId first, falls back to IUserManager::getByEmail().
• [WARNING] DNS TOCTOU race in SSRF protection: removed gethostbyname() check; SSRF protection delegated to Nextcloud IClientService and allow_local_remote_servers config.

Additionally verified fixed (Security Review — 2026-04-14T18:47:49Z — secret ballot integrity):

• [CRITICAL] Secret ballot vote integrity bypass: castVote() now uses a deterministic HMAC voterToken for deduplication in secret rounds, preventing unlimited votes without exposing participant identity.

Quality gate (commit a469e92):

• composer check:strict → ALL CHECKS PASSED (95 tests, 0 errors)
• npm run lint → 0 errors (37 informational warnings — JSDoc and deprecated-API notices, not regressions)

Remaining SUGGESTIONs (informational only, not addressed):

• JSON-LD @context uses HTTP instead of HTTPS (OriPublicationService.php:203)
• Dead client-supplied actorId fallback comment (MotionController.php:107)
• Frontend admin check inconsistency note (VotingRoundPanel.vue:283)

WARNING

[WARNING] Sensitive admin config returned to all authenticated users via GET /api/settings
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 — Broken Access Control / Information Disclosure
File: lib/Service/SettingsService.php:111 / lib/Controller/SettingsController.php:84
Issue: GET /api/settings is annotated @NoAdminRequired, so every authenticated Nextcloud user can retrieve the full settings array — including ori_endpoint (the external ORI API URL) and email_voting_enabled. Exposing the ORI endpoint URL to non-admin users reveals infrastructure details that could assist targeted attacks against the ORI API.
Fix: In SettingsService::getSettings(), strip admin-only keys (ori_endpoint, email_voting_enabled) when the current user is not an admin. A separate getAdminSettings() branch already has the isAdmin boolean to branch on.

---

[WARNING] No ISO 8601 validation on closedAt parameter — invalid value silently closes the round
Rule: OWASP A04:2021 — Insecure Design
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:115 / lib/Service/VotingService.php:298
Issue: VotingController::open() accepts closedAt from request params without format validation. In castVote(), the round-closed check is strtotime($round['closedAt']) < time(). When closedAt is an invalid date string, strtotime() returns false; PHP coerces false to 0 in the comparison, so 0 < time() evaluates to true — the round is immediately treated as closed, silently blocking all votes. A chair/secretary (the only role that can open rounds) could trigger this accidentally or intentionally.
Fix: Validate closedAt as a proper ISO 8601 string before storage. In castVote(), use a strict guard: ($ts = strtotime($round['closedAt'])) !== false && $ts < time().

---

SUGGESTION

[SUGGESTION] actorId: 'system' in automated lifecycle transitions obscures audit trail
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:258 and :451
Issue: openVotingRound() and closeVotingRound() call MotionService::transitionLifecycle() with actorId: 'system'. The responsible human actor (the chair/secretary who triggered the round) is lost from the audit trail, making it harder to reconstruct governance decisions in case of dispute.
Fix: Thread the authenticated user's UID through openVotingRound() and closeVotingRound() signatures and pass it as actorId to transitionLifecycle().

---

Positive Findings

The following ADR-005 / OWASP controls are correctly implemented:

• Admin checks on backend: All privileged endpoints gate on IGroupManager::isAdmin() server-side (DecisionController, MinutesController, SettingsController). The @NoAdminRequired annotation is used correctly — it prevents the Nextcloud framework from rejecting non-admin users before the custom guard runs.
• Identity from session, not client: Vote casting (VotingController::cast), proxy grant/revoke, and co-sign confirmation all derive the user identity from IUserSession, ignoring any client-supplied identity fields.
• SSRF protection on ORI endpoint: OriPublicationService::isValidOriEndpoint() requires HTTPS, validates non-empty host, and rejects direct private/loopback IP ranges. DNS-rebinding is correctly delegated to Nextcloud's IClientService.
• Secret ballot HMAC: Voter tokens for secret rounds use hash_hmac('sha256', $participantId.':'.\, $secret) with a per-installation random secret, preventing ballot de-anonymisation without server-side secret access.
• Email vote participant validation: MailReplyHandler validates the participantId from _mail metadata against OpenRegister before casting any vote (OWASP A07 guard).
• No stack traces in API responses: All error handlers return generic user-facing messages; exception details go to the logger only.
• isAdmin in settings is UI-hint only: The isAdmin field returned by getSettings() is clearly documented as a rendering hint; all actual access control is enforced independently on each backend route.

Hydra Builder — Fix iteration 4

Fixed findings from Code Review (2026-04-14T20:52:19Z) and Security Review (2026-04-14T20:55:58Z):

[CRITICAL] Competing "Stemronde openen" buttons create unrecoverable broken state (src/views/MotionDetail.vue): Removed the canTransitionTo('voting') button entirely. VotingRoundPanel's open dialog is now the sole entry point, which transitions lifecycle and creates the VotingRound atomically.

[CRITICAL] One-proxy-per-round enforcement bypassed for secret ballot rounds (lib/Service/VotingService.php): For secret rounds, participant relations are suppressed for anonymity, so the existing relation-based dedup never matched. Fixed by computing a delegatorToken = HMAC(delegatorId + ':proxy:' + roundId, voterTokenSecret), storing it on the vote, and querying by that token in the dedup check — the same opaque pattern used for direct-vote dedup.

[CRITICAL] Missing EUPL-1.2 license header (tests/Stubs/Service/ObjectService.php): Added // SPDX-License-Identifier: EUPL-1.2 and // Copyright (C) 2026 Conduction B.V. as the first two lines.

[WARNING] Duplicate <background-jobs> XML element (appinfo/info.xml): Merged MailReplyHandler and OverdueActionItemsJob into a single <background-jobs> block.

[WARNING] Integration test asserts wrong response shape for co-sign-confirm (tests/integration/motion-voting.json): Changed assertion from pm.expect(body.coSigners).to.be.an('array') to pm.expect(body.success).to.be.true to match the actual {'success': true} response.

[WARNING] No self-proxy prevention in grantProxy() (lib/Service/VotingService.php): Added guard at the top of grantProxy() that throws InvalidArgumentException when fromParticipantId === toParticipantId.

[WARNING] Proxy management UI unreachable during active rounds (src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue): Removed !isRoundOpen condition from proxy grant/revoke buttons and dialog — the UI is now accessible at all times; backend guards in grantProxy() and revokeProxy() enforce the business rules.

[WARNING] requireChairOrSecretary() equates governance role with NC system admin (lib/Controller/MotionController.php, lib/Controller/VotingController.php): Injected IAppConfig into both controllers. When the chair_group app config key is set, IGroupManager::isInGroup() is used instead of isAdmin(), enabling dedicated governance groups (e.g. decidesk-chairs).

[SEC-WARNING] Ghost routes for non-existent controllers (appinfo/routes.php): Removed metrics#index and health#index route declarations — neither MetricsController nor HealthController exists, so these routes would throw unhandled 500 errors exposing stack traces.

[SEC-WARNING] .specter-prompt.txt committed to repository (.gitignore): Added .specter-prompt.txt to .gitignore to prevent prompt-injection via ordinary contributor PRs.

Remaining SUGGESTIONs (not addressed — informational only):

• Redundant double-guard for ObjectService stub in bootstrap files
• confirmCoSign() silently swallows errors — no user feedback
• MailReplyHandler registered in both info.xml and Application::boot()
• SettingsController::index() exposes ori_endpoint to all authenticated users
• Proxy isProxy/delegatorId fields are fully client-controlled

Code Review — Juan Claude van Damme

Result: PASS (0 critical, 7 warnings, 3 suggestions)

No critical issues found. Several warnings should be addressed before or shortly after merge; none block it.

WARNING

canCoSign compares Nextcloud UID against a display-name array — button stays visible after signing
File: src/views/MotionDetail.vue:250-256
Issue: coSigners stores display names (set by MotionService::addCoSigner), but the guard !confirmed.includes(user.uid) compares against the Nextcloud UID. The comparison always evaluates to false, so the "Ondersteunen" button remains visible after the user has already co-signed. The backend is idempotent so no data corruption occurs, but the UI is misleading.
Fix: Compare user.displayName (or filter by the stored display name) instead of user.uid, e.g. !confirmed.includes(user.displayName).

---

revokeProxy button shown during open round but backend silently rejects it
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:168-174
Issue: VotingService::revokeProxy throws 'Stemronde is al geopend' once openedAt is set. The panel shows the revoke button regardless of isRoundOpen, and the revokeProxy method swallows all errors, so users receive no feedback when the action fails.
Fix: Add :disabled="isRoundOpen" (with tooltip) to the revoke button, or surface the error response the same way castVote does.

---

MotionController::coSignConfirm returns 400 when user has no display name
File: lib/Controller/MotionController.php:152-154
Issue: $displayName = $user->getDisplayName() can legitimately return an empty string for users who have never set one. The subsequent 400 guard blocks a valid invited co-signer from confirming, with no path to recover.
Fix: Fall back to $user->getUID() when getDisplayName() is empty, or remove the guard entirely and let addCoSigner record whatever non-empty identifier is available.

---

grantProxy stores proxy for non-existent toParticipantId
File: lib/Service/VotingService.php:643-650
Issue: When $objectService->getObject(...) returns null (unknown UUID), the role check is skipped and the proxy note is written anyway. The grant is therefore usable by no one (the stored UUID won't match any real participant's resolved UUID), but it pollutes the round's notes.
Fix: Add an explicit null-check: if $toParticipant === null, throw \InvalidArgumentException('Onbekende deelnemer').

---

detectConflicts uses the deprecated findAll API instead of findObjects
File: lib/Service/MotionService.php:238-249
Issue: Every other query in this PR uses the new named-parameter findObjects(register:, schema:, filters:) API. detectConflicts is the only method that still calls findAll(['filters' => [...]]) (old fluent API), making the filter semantics subtly different and creating an inconsistency future maintainers must reason about.
Fix: Replace with $objectService->findObjects(register: 'decidesk', schema: 'amendment', filters: ['relations.motion' => $motionId]).

---

Missing unit tests for MotionController and VotingController
File: tests/Unit/Controller/ (absent)
Issue: DecisionControllerTest (in this same PR) covers auth checks, 401/403/404/422/200 paths, and saveObject failure. MotionController and VotingController introduce 11 new endpoints with equivalent access-control logic but have no controller-level tests. Service tests exercise the business logic, but the auth guard (requireChairOrSecretary) and HTTP-layer wiring are untested.
Fix: Add MotionControllerTest and VotingControllerTest covering at least: unauthenticated (401), non-admin (403), and happy-path (200/201) for each endpoint.

---

Bootstrap files load redundant root-level stubs after loading the proper sub-directory stubs
File: tests/bootstrap.php:51-59, tests/bootstrap-unit.php:47-55
Issue: Both files conditionally load Stubs/Service/ObjectService.php and Stubs/Db/ObjectEntity.php, then immediately try to load Stubs/ObjectService.php and Stubs/ObjectEntity.php again (root level). Since the class_exists guard means the root-level files are never actually required (the sub-directory stubs are loaded first), this is dead code that creates confusion about which stub is authoritative.
Fix: Remove the four trailing include_once lines for the root-level stubs, or consolidate into a single stub location.

---

SUGGESTION

Proxy grant dialog accepts raw UUID — poor usability
File: src/components/VotingRoundPanel.vue:203-205
Issue: Users must type or paste a participant UUID into a plain <input type="text">. Elected members are unlikely to know UUIDs.
Fix: Replace with a <select> or CnAutoComplete populated from the meeting's participant list (already fetched into participantCount via fetchCurrentRound).

---

votingMethod accepted without validation
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:120, lib/Service/VotingService.php:228
Issue: $votingMethod is stored verbatim from user input with no validation against the four allowed values (for-against-abstain, ranked-choice, weighted, show-of-hands). Arbitrary strings will be persisted.
Fix: Add if (!in_array($votingMethod, ['for-against-abstain', 'ranked-choice', 'weighted', 'show-of-hands'], true)) return new JSONResponse([...], Http::STATUS_BAD_REQUEST); in the controller.

---

Motions navigation item placed after Documentation link
File: src/navigation/MainMenu.vue:46-53
Issue: All other entity navigation items (Notulen, Besluiten, Actiepunten) are grouped at the top. The new Motions item is appended after the Documentation external link, breaking the grouping.
Fix: Move the Motions NcAppNavigationItem before the Documentation item, alongside the other entity links.

Security Review — Clyde Barcode

Result: PASS (0 critical, 2 warning, 1 suggestion)

Semgrep scans (p/security-audit, p/secrets, p/owasp-top-ten, --metrics=off) returned zero findings across lib/ and src/. Manual OWASP review of the changed PHP controllers and services identified the items below.

WARNING

ori_endpoint (and email_voting_enabled) returned to any authenticated user
Rule: OWASP A01:2021 — Broken Access Control / A02:2021 — Cryptographic Failures
File: lib/Service/SettingsService.php:51-58, lib/Controller/SettingsController.php:84-89
Issue: SettingsController::index() carries @NoAdminRequired and returns the full getSettings() array to every authenticated Nextcloud user. That array includes ori_endpoint — a URL that organisations may embed API credentials in as a query parameter (e.g. https://ori.example.nl/api?key=secret). Non-admin users have no legitimate need for the ORI endpoint URL or the email_voting_enabled flag.
Fix: Either (a) strip ori_endpoint and email_voting_enabled from the response for non-admin callers (check IGroupManager::isAdmin() in getSettings() and return a redacted copy), or (b) split getSettings() into getPublicSettings() / getAdminSettings() and only call getAdminSettings() in the admin-gated create() and load() actions.

requireChairOrSecretary() returns HTTP 403 for unauthenticated callers (should be 401)
Rule: OWASP A07:2021 — Identification and Authentication Failures
File: lib/Controller/VotingController.php:89-91, lib/Controller/MotionController.php:83-85
Issue: When $this->userSession->getUser() is null (unauthenticated request), both controllers return HTTP 403 Forbidden with the message "Chair or secretary role required". HTTP 403 semantically means "authenticated but not authorized"; returning it for an unauthenticated caller masks the real authentication failure in audit logs and SIEM tools. In practice Nextcloud's framework rejects unauthenticated requests before routing, so this is not directly exploitable, but it makes security monitoring harder.
Fix: Replace Http::STATUS_FORBIDDEN with Http::STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED in the null-user branch of both requireChairOrSecretary() methods.

---

SUGGESTION

ORI endpoint URL written verbatim to the warning log on validation failure
File: lib/Service/OriPublicationService.php:135
Issue: $this->logger->warning("Decidesk ORI: endpoint '$endpoint' failed safety validation — publication skipped") logs the raw admin-configured URL. If the URL contains an API key as a query parameter this key would appear in plaintext in the Nextcloud server log, which is often forwarded to centralised log aggregation (Graylog, Splunk, etc.) with broader read access than the admin panel.
Fix: Log the scheme+host only (not query string): e.g. parse_url($endpoint, PHP_URL_HOST).

Notes

• All admin-gated PHP routes correctly enforce IGroupManager::isAdmin() server-side (MinutesController, DecisionController, SettingsController). No frontend-only admin guards found. ✓
• VotingController::cast() and proxy() derive the participant identity exclusively from the server-side session (resolveParticipantUuid($nextcloudUid)), not from client-supplied params. ✓
• Proxy grant enforcement in castVote() cross-checks both fromParticipantId and toParticipantId against the stored notes on the VotingRound before accepting a proxy vote — preventing unauthorized proxy claims. ✓
• MailReplyHandler validates the participantId from _mail metadata against OpenRegister before casting any vote, preventing arbitrary vote injection via manipulated metadata. ✓
• OriPublicationService::isValidOriEndpoint() correctly rejects non-HTTPS URLs and direct private/loopback IP addresses (OWASP A10 SSRF). DNS rebinding left to Nextcloud IClientService (acceptable delegation). ✓
• createDossierFolder sanitizes motionTitle with preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/', '-', …) before using it in a path — no path traversal possible. ✓
• No hardcoded credentials, no secrets in diff. ✓
• No @PublicPage annotations on any sensitive route. ✓
