Proposed Changes

This PR now combines the umask fix with the owner-only decrypt change from #4037, retaining that commit and its original author.

  • Require atomic-output callers to choose the requested destination mode.
  • Request 0644 for encrypted TDF output and 0600 for decrypted plaintext.
  • Create the temporary sibling with the requested mode so the kernel applies the process umask.
  • Remove the commit-time Chmod, which applied an absolute mode and bypassed the umask.
  • Keep output replacement atomic and preserve an existing destination when writing fails.

The effective mode is the requested mode with the process umask applied. For example:

Output Requested mode umask 022 umask 077
Encrypted TDF 0644 0644 0600
Decrypted plaintext 0600 0600 0600

Masking only clears permission bits, so decrypted output cannot become more permissive than owner-only.

Relationship to #3939 and #4037

This PR supersedes #4037 while preserving its commit authorship and tests. The #4037 author is invited to review the combined implementation here.

#3939 should land after this PR and rebase onto it. Its direct-destination path should keep the mode parameter and use that mode both for direct os.OpenFile creation and for the atomic temporary file; Commit should remain free of Chmod.

Checklist

  • I have added or updated unit tests
  • I have added or updated integration tests (not needed for this file-mode change)
  • I have added or updated documentation (no user-facing flags changed)

Testing

Passed:

make fmt

cd otdfctl
go test ./pkg/streamio ./cmd/tdf -race
go test ./... -race

cd ../sdk
go test -run TestREADMECodeBlocks

Repository-wide gates were also attempted. make lint reaches pre-existing findings outside this diff, and make test stops on pre-existing lib/fixtures token-buffer expectation failures. The affected module and packages pass as shown above.

Fixes DSPX-4696.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Enhancements

    • Output files created by encryption now use standard readable permissions.
    • Decrypted output files are created with restricted permissions for improved privacy.
    • Output file permissions can now be applied consistently, including when replacing an existing destination.
    • Temporary output files use unique names and honor system permission settings.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cleanup behavior so interrupted operations preserve existing destination files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change gives streamio.OutputFile caller-controlled modes and exclusive random temporary files. TDF encryption and decryption pass explicit modes. Decryption now commits output files and cleans up incomplete files. Tests cover modes, umasks, collisions, replacement, and cleanup.

`otdfctl decrypt` read the whole TDF into memory, handed the slice to
DecryptBytes, which accumulated the whole plaintext in a bytes.Buffer, and then
-- for stdout -- called Buffer.String(), allocating a third full copy. Peak RSS
was roughly 3.6x the payload; a 1 GiB file cost ~3.7 GiB of RAM and a large
enough file simply OOMed on a machine with plenty of disk for it.

The plaintext now streams from the SDK reader to the destination. Handler.Decrypt
takes an io.ReadSeeker and an io.Writer, with DecryptOptions replacing the
positional parameter list, and inspect reaches the manifest through the same
seekable reader rather than buffering the archive to get at its tail.

Measured on a 1 GiB round-trip: encrypt peaks at 74 MiB and decrypt at 67 MiB,
against ~3754 MiB and ~3808 MiB before. The round-trip is byte-identical.

io.Copy is what does the streaming, and it does so only because sdk.Reader
implements WriteTo, which decrypts one segment at a time. Its Read delegates to
ReadAt, which grows an internal bytes.Buffer holding every segment decrypted so
far -- so dropping WriteTo would silently restore the old memory profile with no
test failure to show for it. A compile-time assertion pins the interface.

Removes MaxFileSize. The 10 GB cap existed to bound RAM; the real limit is the
SDK maxFileSizeSupported at 64 GiB, which enforces itself.

Output to a file is atomic, as on the encrypt side: the plaintext goes to a
temporary sibling and is renamed into place only on success. Since
cli.ExitWithError calls os.Exit and skips deferred functions, the spooled input
and the partial output are discarded explicitly on every exit path -- including
inspect's success path, which exits through ExitWithJSON.

A destination a rename cannot stand in for -- /dev/null, a fifo, a symlink the
caller means to write through -- is opened and written directly instead.
decrypt's -o was a plain os.Create before this change, and `-o /dev/null` is a
routine way to time a decrypt or check one succeeds without keeping the
plaintext; the atomic path alone would have regressed both.

The output file mode is deliberately left as it is. #4037 turns it into a
per-caller parameter and #4046 applies it through the umask, which is a better
answer for the hardcoded 0644 inherited here than anything this PR could do in
passing.

e2e coverage lands in a new otdfctl/e2e/streaming.bats rather than in
encrypt-decrypt.bats, keeping the streaming concerns -- spooling, temp output,
peak memory -- apart from that file's entitlement fixtures. Nothing in the new
file needs an entitlement, so it needs no policy fixtures: the round-trips use
no attributes, and the failure cases are forced with an unresolvable attribute
FQN and a KAS allowlist that excludes the platform.

Both that file and encrypt-decrypt.bats are tagged unattributed_encrypt, and
action.yaml gives the tag its own pass ahead of the parallel batch. That
ordering is load-bearing, not tidiness. An encrypt with no attributes falls back
to the platform base key, and key-base.bats sets one pointing at
https://test-kas-for-base-keys.com, which does not resolve. It cannot put things
back afterwards: a base key can be replaced but never cleared, so every
unattributed encrypt scheduled after that file yields a TDF nothing can decrypt.
Under --jobs 4 the file order is nondeterministic, so overlapping the two made
this suite flaky rather than merely broken -- which is how it presented, a
different subset of round-trips failing per run. Running alone also keeps the
1 GiB peak-RSS case from measuring itself against three neighbours competing for
the same memory.

encrypt-decrypt.bats is tagged for the same reason. #4042 lifted its file-level
skip, and its very first case is an unattributed round-trip, so it now races
key-base.bats for a slot in the parallel batch and fails whenever it loses.
That it passes today is an accident of bats scheduling files alphabetically.
The underlying leak is still worth closing in key-base.bats.

action.yaml also installs the 'time' package, and the peak-RSS case now fails
rather than skips when CI lacks GNU time. It is the only test that demonstrates
the fix, so a silent skip would let a return to whole-payload buffering through.

os.CreateTemp hardcodes 0600 and Commit corrected that with Chmod, which
bypasses the umask entirely: encrypted output landed at 0644 even for a user
who had set umask 077. Open the temp file directly with the requested mode so
the kernel applies the mask, and let the rename carry that mode onto the
destination.
