+# Phase W17a — Withings webhook secret hardening
+
+**Status:** complete
+**Branch:** develop
+**Commit:** TBD on completion
+**W10 finding addressed:** Security M-2 — Withings webhook secret travels via URL query parameter
+
+---
+
+## Investigation
+
+### What Withings actually supports
+
+The Withings `Notify.subscribe` API accepts exactly six parameters:
+`action`, `callbackurl`, `appli`, `client_id`, `nonce`, `signature`
+(plus optional `comment`). There is **no facility for custom HTTP
+headers** and **Withings does not sign outgoing webhook bodies**.
+
+Inbound webhook deliveries are `POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
+with payload `userid` / `appli` / `startdate` / `enddate`, and no
+Withings-supplied authenticity header (no `X-Withings-Signature`,
+nothing equivalent). The subscriber's only authenticity surface is the
+`callbackurl` itself.
+
+The W10 security review's suggestion to "move the secret to the
+`X-Withings-Webhook-Secret` header at subscribe time" was based on an
+inaccurate claim that Withings supports a `headers` object on
+subscribe — confirmed false against the public docs
+(`developer.withings.com/developer-guide/v3/data-api/notifications/notification-subscribe/`,
+`developer.withings.com/developer-guide/v3/data-api/notifications/notification-content/`).
+
+### Chosen pattern
+
+**Path-segment binding.**
+`?secret=<value>` → `/<value>` in the URL path.
+
+This is the largest practical shift away from query-string logging
+that Withings supports end-to-end:
+
+- Most reverse proxies (nginx, Caddy, Coolify default config) log
+  `request_uri` AND a separate `query_string` column; moving the
+  secret out of the query string keeps it off the field every default
+  access-log template captures.
+- GlitchTip URL/breadcrumb capture is already scrubbed of `?…` in
+  `reportToGlitchtip` (`src/lib/api-handler.ts:394-403`), but that
+  scrubber operates on `searchParams`; path segments would survive it,
+  which means we need to apply matching path-segment redaction at the
+  proxy in production. The redaction rule is a single
+  regex (`/api/withings/webhook/<token> → /api/withings/webhook/_`),
+  much narrower than the multiplicity of query-string secrets we'd
+  otherwise need to spell out.
+- The path-segment value is constant-time-compared against
+  `WITHINGS_WEBHOOK_SECRET` server-side. Rotating the secret rotates
+  every subscription's URL on the next `setupWebhook` call, which
+  fires whenever a user re-OAuths (organic during v1.4.25 thanks to
+  W5d's `user.activity` scope upgrade).
+
+Header-based auth was rejected because Withings will not propagate any
+header we configure — they ignore unknown subscribe parameters
+silently, so a `headers` shim would only authorise manual replay tests
+(which the legacy route already covers via
+`X-Withings-Webhook-Secret`).
+
+HMAC signature verification was rejected because Withings does not
+sign the payload — there's no shared signature for us to verify.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### New files
+
+- `src/app/api/withings/webhook/[token]/route.ts` —
+  path-segment Withings webhook route. POST / HEAD / GET, each
+  rate-limited and gated on a `timingSafeEqual` comparison between the
+  dynamic `[token]` segment and `process.env.WITHINGS_WEBHOOK_SECRET`.
+- `src/lib/withings/webhook-handler.ts` — extracted shared body
+  processing (rate limit, form/JSON body decode, user lookup,
+  fire-and-forget sync). Used by both the new route and the legacy
+  one so the migration window doesn't drift between the two surfaces.
+- `src/app/api/withings/webhook/[token]/__tests__/route.test.ts` —
+  8 tests: valid token / wrong token / empty token / unset env / prefix-
+  match-rejection / rate-limited / HEAD verify / GET verify.
+- `src/lib/withings/__tests__/sync.test.ts` — 3 tests confirming
+  `getWithingsWebhookCallbackUrl()` returns the path form, encodes
+  unsafe characters, and falls back gracefully without a secret.
+
+### Modified files
+
+- `src/lib/withings/sync.ts` — `getWithingsWebhookCallbackUrl()` now
+  emits `…/api/withings/webhook/<encoded-secret>` instead of
+  `…/api/withings/webhook?secret=<secret>`. New `setupWebhook` calls
+  hand the path-segment URL to Withings; the legacy form is no longer
+  generated anywhere in the codebase.
+- `src/app/api/withings/webhook/route.ts` — refactored over the
+  shared helper. Legacy semantics preserved: query-string secret still
+  authorises (with a `getEvent().addWarning(…)` deprecation breadcrumb),
+  header secret still authorises (manual-replay path). Documented
+  removal target: **v1.4.27**, by which time every active Withings
+  subscription should have rotated through `setupWebhook` thanks to
+  the v1.4.25 OAuth-scope reconnect banner.
+
+### Backward compatibility
+
+Two-stage migration:
+
+1. **v1.4.25 (this release):** new subscriptions go via the path-
+   segment URL. Existing Withings subscriptions still target the
+   legacy `/api/withings/webhook?secret=…` URL — they keep working,
+   each delivery now emits a "migrate to /api/withings/webhook/[token]"
+   warning to the Wide Event stream.
+2. **v1.4.26 — v1.4.27:** every active user reconnects at least once
+   thanks to W5d's scope upgrade. On reconnect, `setupWebhook`
+   re-subscribes against the path-segment URL.
+3. **v1.4.27:** delete the legacy route. The deprecation-breadcrumb
+   count in monitoring is the gating signal.
+
+`getWithingsWebhookCallbackUrl()` is the single point of truth for the
+URL handed to both `subscribeWebhook` (on connect) and
+`unsubscribeWebhook` (on disconnect). The disconnect path uses the
+**current** URL form, which is correct: Withings keys subscription
+records by the exact callback URL, so a stale subscription created
+under the legacy URL stays attached to the legacy URL — that
+mismatch is harmless because the disconnect call wraps each appli
+unsubscribe in `try { … } catch {}` already.
+
+## Quality gates
+
+| Gate            | Result                            |
+|-----------------|-----------------------------------|
+| `pnpm typecheck`| pass                              |
+| `pnpm lint`     | pass                              |
+| `pnpm test`     | 4 files / 56 tests withings scope; 2665 / 1 skipped full suite |
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+- **Coolify/Caddy redaction rule (operational, not code):** add a
+  log-format rewrite that masks the final segment of
+  `/api/withings/webhook/<token>` before access lines leave the
+  edge. Without this, the path-segment secret still appears in the
+  request line — the change above stops it from landing in the
+  separate `query_string` field, which was the bulk of the W10
+  finding, but full defence-in-depth requires the proxy rule. Tracked
+  as a v1.4.25 W17a-op follow-up.
+- **v1.4.27 cleanup:** delete the legacy `/api/withings/webhook`
+  route + its tests + the deprecation breadcrumb. Confirm
+  monitoring shows zero `auth_method=webhook_secret` events on the
+  legacy route over the prior 7 days before removal.
