The slack sub-tests in TestDiscordOnly_CreateRejectsNonDiscord and TestBlocker3_CreateProviderRejectsNonDiscordWithSecurityEvents were omitting the required token field from their request payloads. CreateProvider enforces that Slack providers must have a non-empty token (the webhook URL) at creation time. Without it the service returns "slack webhook URL is required", which the handler does not classify as a 400 validation error, so it falls through to 500. Add a token field to each test struct, populate it for the slack case with a valid-format Slack webhook URL, and use WithSlackURLValidator to bypass the real format check in unit tests — matching the pattern used in all existing service-level Slack tests.

QA Audit Report — Slack Sub-Test Fixes
Date: 2026-03-15
Branch: feature/beta-release
Commit: 6e4294dc — fix: validate Slack webhook URL at provider create/update time
Scope: Two handler test files + service test + notification_service.go (Slack URL validation)
Reviewer: QA Security Agent
Overall Verdict: PASS
All quality and security gates pass. The two test-only fixes are safe, coverage is maintained above threshold, and no security regressions were introduced.

2. Patch Coverage (Local Patch Report)
Command: bash /projects/Charon/scripts/local-patch-report.sh
| Scope | Changed Lines | Covered | Patch Coverage | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 81 | 77 | 95.1% | ≥90% |
| Backend | 75 | 71 | 94.7% | ≥85% |
| Frontend | 6 | 6 | 100.0% | ≥85% |
4 uncovered changed lines in notification_service.go at lines 477–478 and 481–482. These are error-handling branches for json.Marshal and bytes.Buffer.Write in Slack payload normalization — conditions requiring OOM-class failures and effectively unreachable in practice. Not a coverage concern.

6. Security Review: WithSlackURLValidator
The new WithSlackURLValidator functional option exposes a test-injectable hook in NotificationService.
| Concern | Assessment |
|---|---|
| SSRF via production bypass | Not a risk. NewNotificationService always defaults to validateSlackWebhookURL. The option must be explicitly passed at construction time. |
| Allowlist strength | Regex ^https://hooks\.slack\.com/services/T[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/B[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$ — pins to HTTPS, exact domain, and enforced path structure. Robust against SSRF. |
| Test bypass scope | Only used in *_test.go files. Comment states: "Intended for use in tests that need to bypass real URL validation without mutating shared state." |
| Exported from production package | LOW / Informational. The option is exported from services with no //go:build test build-tag guard. It could theoretically be called from production code, but there is no evidence of misuse and the default is safe. Consider adding a build-tag guard in a future cleanup pass if stricter separation is desired. |

4. Verification Greps
4a. All mccutchen/go-httpbin docker run instances have -e PORT=80
scripts/cerberus_integration.sh:174: docker run ... -e PORT=80 mccutchen/go-httpbin
scripts/waf_integration.sh:167: docker run ... -e PORT=80 mccutchen/go-httpbin
scripts/rate_limit_integration.sh:187:docker run ... -e PORT=80 mccutchen/go-httpbin
scripts/coraza_integration.sh:158: docker run ... -e PORT=80 mccutchen/go-httpbin
Remaining mccutchen/go-httpbin matches are docker pull lines (no -e PORT needed).
Result: PASS — 4/4 confirmed.
4b. Zero executed docker exec ... curl calls
Only 2 matches found in scripts/verify_crowdsec_app_config.sh (L94–95) — both inside echo statements (user hint text, not executed). Confirmed by manual review.
Result: PASS — 0 executed docker exec ... curl calls.
5. Security Review
| Check | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Secrets/credentials in diff | PASS | `git diff |
| Gotify tokens | PASS | grep -rn "Gotify|gotify|token=" across all 6 scripts — no matches |
| Injection vectors | PASS | -e PORT=80 is a static literal; no user-controlled input flows into new code |
| Command injection | PASS | wget -qO flags are hardcoded; no interpolated user input |
| SSRF | N/A | URLs are internal container addresses (127.0.0.1, localhost) in CI-only scripts |
| Sensitive data in logs | PASS | No new log/echo statements added |
| URL query parameters | PASS | No tokenized URLs (e.g., ?token=...) in changed or adjacent code |

Remaining Validation (CI)
