Closes:
Head SHA reviewed: <!-- full SHA -->

Summary

Scope and assignment

  • The linked issue has the exact Stellar Wave label.
  • The PR author is assigned or explicitly approved by a maintainer.
  • This PR resolves one task and all dependencies are safely completed.

Architecture and security

  • Contracts/finalized events remain authoritative for protocol state.
  • No backend-authoritative claim, vote, dispute, settlement, reward, treasury, or governance mutation was added.
  • TypeORM/PostgreSQL remains the only persistence architecture; Prisma was not introduced.
  • Reorg, duplicate delivery, retry, finality, stale-cache, and degraded-dependency behavior is fail-closed.
  • SIWE/authentication, authorization, validation, redaction, and rate-limit impact was reviewed.
  • No Stellar/Soroban/Freighter runtime, secret, placeholder production value, or production mock is included.

Validation

  • Lint, typecheck, and build pass.
  • Unit and PostgreSQL integration tests pass.
  • Migrations and rollback validation pass.
  • Indexer/reorg and protocol-invariant tests pass.
  • Security, container, and artifact-drift checks pass.
  • Required human CODEOWNER approval applies to this exact head SHA.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added validated pagination with optional cursors and limits from 1 to 100; requests default to 20 items per page.
    • Added validation to ensure claim-feed creator values are valid Ethereum addresses.
    • Added support for JSON and URL-encoded request bodies up to 100 KB.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid pagination values, creator addresses, and unrecognized query parameters are now rejected.

Walkthrough

The app bootstrap now registers bounded JSON and URL-encoded parsers. Claim-feed creator queries use Ethereum address validation. A shared pagination DTO validates cursor and limit inputs and is used by dispute and verification list endpoints.

Changes

Request Body Parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register bounded body parsers
src/bootstrap.ts, src/bootstrap.spec.ts
configureApp registers JSON and extended URL-encoded parsers with a 100kb limit. The test checks that both parsers are registered. It retains the strict global validation-pipe assertions.

Claim Feed Creator Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate creator addresses
src/claims/v2/dto/claim-feed-query.dto.ts, src/claims/v2/dto/claim-feed-query.dto.spec.ts
ClaimFeedQueryDto validates creator as an Ethereum address. Tests cover a valid address, invalid addresses, and unknown query fields.

Pagination Query Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and test pagination query values
src/v2/common/dto/pagination-query.dto.ts, src/v2/common/dto/pagination-query.dto.spec.ts
PaginationQueryDto defines an optional string cursor and a limit defaulting to 20, with valid limits from 1 through 100. Tests cover transformation, validation, and unknown fields.
Apply pagination DTO to list endpoints
src/v2/disputes/disputes.controller.ts, src/v2/verification/verification.controller.ts
Dispute and verification list endpoints receive the DTO and pass its limit and cursor to their query services.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3c9b7

Invalid creator addresses can reach the filter instead of receiving a validation error, and the parser-size bounds lack a test assertion. These are limited issues to fix or accept before merging.

Assert both parser limits.

The test checks only parser names. It would pass if either limit: '100kb' option were removed. No other reachable test covers this bound.

Mock the Express parser factories and assert their options.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject creator addresses with an invalid mixed-case checksum.

IsEthereumAddress checks the address format but not its checksum. A mistyped mixed-case creator therefore passes validation and reaches the creator filter instead of receiving a validation error. Use checksum-aware validation, such as ethers v6 isAddress, and add an invalid-checksum case to src/claims/v2/dto/claim-feed-query.dto.spec.ts. (github.com)
