Summary

Fixes ACM-39327: console-mce-console* / local backend OOM and CPU saturation for non-admin users when the SSE /events stream filters a large inventory (reproduced with MOCK_CLUSTERS=1000).

Restricted users do not short-circuit on cluster-scoped list. The previous path fell through to namespaced list and per-object get SelfSubjectAccessReviews (O(N)), while also inflating every cached resource before the access check. Admins were largely unaffected because cluster-scoped list succeeds once per kind.

Approach

Compression + lightweight metadata

  • Resources remain stored compressed in the SSE event store.
  • cacheResource / delete attach meta: { kind, apiVersion, name, namespace } so RBAC and kind classification do not require inflate.
  • getEventResourceMeta() reads meta, or falls back to an already-inflated object.
  • inflateEvent strips meta from the wire payload (clients still receive { type, object } only).

Filter before inflate (server-side-events)

  • sendEvent runs eventFilter before inflateEvent.
  • Denied events never materialize full resource JSON in the client queue.
  • Stream start classifies packets using meta instead of bulk-inflating the entire cache up front.

Access cache (resetAccessCache / cleanupAccessCache / per-token keys)

  • Cache keys use a SHA-256 hash of the bearer token (no raw JWT as object keys) plus verb:kind:namespace:name.
  • Cap entries per token in addition to the existing max-token cleanup.
  • resetAccessCache / cleanupAccessCache also clear SelfSubjectRulesReview / kind-access caches and enforce TTLs.

resolveKindGetAccess + applyKindGetAccess vs canAccess

  • After cluster-scoped list is denied, do not immediately run O(namespaces) namespaced list + O(N) get SSARs.
  • One SelfSubjectRulesReview per token (namespace default; ClusterRole bindings are included) → resolveKindGetAccess per kind.
  • applyKindGetAccess maps the result:
    • deny-all / allow-all / allow-names → local decision (no per-object SSAR)
    • empty resourceRules (including OpenShift incomplete: true with empty rules) → deny-all (typical none user)
    • non-empty + incomplete → fallback to namespaced list / canAccess get
  • canAccess remains the SSAR primitive for list checks and incomplete fallback only.

Performance comparison (MOCK_CLUSTERS=1000, local backend)

RSS from ps (KiB → MiB). Same Node backend process; Inventory exercises the full SSE filter path.

Scenario Original (before) This change (after)
Backend after start ~200–400 MiB ~228 MiB (~3.5% CPU)
kubeadmin /welcome ~stable low hundreds MiB ~231 MiB (~2.5% CPU)
kubeadmin /inventory ~450–500 MiB, CPU low ~399 MiB (~3.5% CPU)
non-admin (none) /welcome elevated vs admin; path already costly ~401 MiB (~3% CPU)
non-admin (none) /inventory grows past ~4.5 GiB, CPU saturated, UI hang / stream stall peak ~520 MiB → settles ~430 MiB, ~3% CPU, stream completes

Takeaway: admin inventory cost stays in the same ballpark. Non-admin inventory no longer diverges into multi‑GiB RSS and sustained high CPU; restricted-user filtering is bounded by rules review + cheap denies instead of O(N) SSARs and inflate-before-filter.

Test plan

  • Unit tests: access cache (hashed token, verb key, per-token cap)
  • Unit tests: SelfSubjectRulesReview short-circuit (deny-all, 500 gets → 1 SSRR, many namespaces → 1 SSRR, resourceNames, allow-all, incomplete fallback, OpenShift empty+incomplete)
  • Unit tests: getEventResourceMeta + filter-before-inflate (no inflate on deny)
  • Local: MOCK_CLUSTERS=1000, kubeadmin vs none on /multicloud/infrastructure/environments (Inventory); confirm RSS/CPU stay bounded
  • Confirm admin Inventory still populates clusters normally
  • Confirm none completes SSE load (empty inventory expected) without backend hang

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The event pipeline now preserves resource metadata and filters events before inflation. RBAC authorization now uses hashed, bounded caches, namespace-aware SelfSubjectRulesReview evaluation, and SelfSubjectAccessReview fallback for incomplete results.

Event delivery and metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metadata-aware event delivery
backend/src/lib/compression.ts, backend/src/lib/server-side-events.ts, backend/src/routes/events.ts, backend/test/lib/server-side-events.test.ts
Events preserve resource metadata. Filtering occurs before inflation. Classification and sorting use resolved metadata. Tests cover metadata precedence and filter-controlled inflation.
Authorization cache management
backend/src/routes/events.ts, backend/test/routes/events.test.ts
Access checks use hashed, verb-specific cache keys with namespace-aware entries, TTL cleanup, and per-token entry limits.
Namespace-aware authorization and fallback
backend/src/routes/events.ts, backend/test/routes/events.test.ts
Rules evaluation supports deny-all, named-resource, cluster-scoped, incomplete, failed, and evaluation-error results. Incomplete results use SSAR fallback. Tests cover these authorization paths.

222-230: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

enforceAccessCacheEntryCap runs on every cache insert.

canAccess calls this function on each new SSAR entry at Line 1215. Each call allocates a full Object.keys() array. With the cap at 2000 entries per token and a high SSE event rate, this repeats a 2000-element allocation per authorization miss. Once the cache exceeds the cap, every insert also sorts the key array.

Consider enforcing the cap only when the size crosses the limit, or tracking insertion order so eviction is O(1). The periodic cleanupAccessCache already enforces the cap at Line 254, so the per-insert call is a safety net rather than the primary mechanism.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The logged compression ratio is no longer meaningful.

compressed at Line 345 measures the cached events while their object fields are still deflated buffers. Because inflation now happens inside sendEvent, uncompressed = sizeOf(sending) at Line 463 measures those same compressed objects. Both sides of the ratio at Line 465 now measure compressed payloads, so the reported percentage collapses toward zero and no longer reports compression effectiveness.

Either drop the field or compute it from a source that is still inflated.

🔧 Proposed fix: report byte counts instead of a misleading ratio
-    logger.info({ msg: 'event stream start', events: sentCount, compression: 100 - (compressed / uncompressed) * 100 })
+    logger.info({ msg: 'event stream start', events: sentCount, cachedBytes: compressed, sentBytes: uncompressed })

Preserve the complete watch event during inflation.

WatchEvent declares optional meta, but Line [256] rebuilds data with only type and object. This drops meta from every object-bearing event, including events whose object is already inflated. Preserve the existing event and replace only object.

Proposed fix
-  const { id, name, namespace, data } = event
+  const { data } = event
...
-        id,
-        name,
-        namespace,

+          ...watchEvent,
+          object: Buffer.isBuffer(object) ? await inflateResource(object, getEventDict()) : object,

Add a regression test for an event containing meta.

1250-1258: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The accessCache key omits the API group, so kinds that share a name across groups collide.

The key at Line 1253 is verb:kind:namespace:name. definitions watches two distinct Application kinds (app.k8s.io/v1beta1 at Line 359 and argoproj.io/v1alpha1 at Line 365) and two distinct Subscription kinds (apps.open-cluster-management.io/v1 at Line 363 and operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 at Line 381). For the same name and namespace, the SSAR decision for one group is returned for the other. That produces both false allows and false denies.

The SSAR request itself now sends group at Line 1269, so the cached value is group-specific while the key is not. Include the group in the key. This collision may predate this PR, but the new canGetResource path routes far more traffic through it.

🔒 Proposed fix: include the API group in the cache key
   const tokenKey = hashAccessToken(token)
-  const key = `${verb}:${resource.kind}:${resource.metadata?.namespace}:${resource.metadata?.name}`
+  const group = apiGroupFromVersion(resource.apiVersion)
+  const key = `${verb}:${group}:${resource.kind}:${resource.metadata?.namespace}:${resource.metadata?.name}`

Then reuse group in the resourceAttributes at Line 1269.

This test issues 2050 sequential mocked HTTP requests.

ACCESS_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES_PER_TOKEN is 2000, so the loop awaits 2050 nock round trips one at a time. That is slow and risks hitting the Jest default 5000 ms timeout on loaded CI runners. The cap is enforced by enforceAccessCacheEntryCap at Line 1303 of backend/src/routes/events.ts, so a smaller loop plus direct cache seeding through getAccessCache() verifies the same behavior.

Extract the duplicated test helpers to one shared scope.

rulesReviewNamespace, nockRulesReview, parseSsarResourceAttributes, nockSsarGet, namedManagedClusterRule, managedCluster, and apiUrl are byte-identical copies of the definitions at Lines 1607-1679. nockRulesReviewStatus at Lines 2099-2109 differs from nockRulesReview only in the reply parameter type, so one helper with an optional evaluationError field covers both.

Move the helpers to the outer describe scope, or to a shared test-helper module.

Two tests also overlap with the earlier block: Lines 2166-2178 repeat Lines 1810-1822, and Lines 2180-2198 repeat Lines 1852-1868 with an added isDone assertion. Fold the added assertion into the original test and drop the copy.

unavailable or failed status, also delete the corresponding derived entry from
kindGetAccessCache in addition to subjectRulesCache. Update the failure path
around resolveKindGetAccess so the next request does not reuse the cached
incomplete result and can retry SSRR, while preserving the existing per-object
SSAR fallback.
- Around line 198-229: The CLUSTER_SCOPED_KINDS map is incorrect: remove
Placement, PlacementDecision, ManagedClusterSetBinding, and Search, and add
ClusterExtension. Prefer deriving the lookup from the existing definitions scope
metadata so it cannot drift; otherwise synchronize CLUSTER_SCOPED_KINDS with the
scope tests while preserving SSRR and per-object SSAR behavior.

Deleting the failed subjectRulesCache entry does not enable retry; kindGetAccessCache pins the failure for the full TTL.

The comment at Line 1165 states the next call retries SSRR. resolveKindGetAccess caches the derived KindGetAccess at Line 1246 before the SSRR result is known. When the review fails, that cached value resolves to { type: 'incomplete' } and stays cached for ACCESS_CACHE_TTL. Every subsequent event for that token, namespace, group, and plural then takes the per-object SSAR fallback for 60 seconds, and no SSRR retry occurs.

Remove the kind-access entry too when the review is unavailable.

🔧 Proposed fix: drop the derived kind-access entry on failure
 function resolveKindGetAccess(resource: AccessResource, token: string): Promise<KindGetAccess> {
   const group = apiGroupFromVersion(resource.apiVersion)
   const plural = resourcePluralName(resource.kind)
   const namespace = rulesNamespaceFor(resource)
   // Permission checks are by API group, not version; keep cache keys version-free.
   const cacheKey = `${hashAccessToken(token)}:${namespace}:${group}:${plural}`
   const existing = kindGetAccessCache[cacheKey]
   if (existing && existing.time > Date.now() - ACCESS_CACHE_TTL) {
     return existing.promise
   }
 
-  const promise = getSubjectRules(token, namespace).then((rules) => evaluateKindGetAccess(rules, group, plural))
+  const promise = getSubjectRules(token, namespace).then((rules) => {
+    // Do not retain a decision derived from an unavailable review; allow SSRR retry.
+    if (rules.unavailable) delete kindGetAccessCache[cacheKey]
+    return evaluateKindGetAccess(rules, group, plural)
+  })
   kindGetAccessCache[cacheKey] = { time: Date.now(), promise }
   return promise
 }

Split access cache and SelfSubjectRulesReview logic out of events.ts so
watch definitions own cluster scope, SSAR cache keys include API group,
and failed rules reviews can retry instead of pinning incomplete results.

@KevinFCormier your cluster scope feedback is in on both PRs.

eventsCache.ts / eventsAccess.ts are the same on main and release-2.13. Only events.ts differs by branch (main keeps compression/meta/SSE optimizations).

Changes:

  • clusterScoped on watch definitions (no drifting hardcoded list)
  • namespaced kinds no longer treated as cluster-scoped
  • cluster-scoped grants still SSAR-confirmed
  • SSAR keys include API group
  • failed SSRR no longer cached as incomplete.
