Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a site-wide setting to enable or disable SuperNIC lockdown key rotation; it is disabled by default.
    • Lock and unlock operations now select the appropriate key version during credential rotation.
    • Lockdown key derivation supports staged, current, and seed key versions with clear errors when a requested version is unavailable.
    • Added configurable per-caller BMC session limits and extension-service state-controller settings.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified lockdown key-version fallback behavior and expanded configuration guidance, including updated exploration limits and switch certificate settings.

Walkthrough

The change adds configuration for BMC session caps, lockdown IKM rotation, and extension-service state control. Lock and unlock handlers now resolve explicit IKM versions from rotation state and derive matching keys. Seed initialization, credential rotation, documentation, and tests now use the updated version model.

Changes

Lockdown IKM rotation and configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and seed contract
crates/api-core/src/cfg/file.rs, crates/api-core/src/test_support/default_config.rs, crates/api-core/src/dpa/lockdown.rs, crates/api-core/src/handlers/credential.rs
CarbideConfig now defines BMC session limits, lockdown IKM rotation, and extension-service state-controller settings. Seed initialization and the site-wide credential key use SEED_LOCKDOWN_IKM_VERSION.
Version-aware key derivation
crates/api-core/src/dpa/lockdown.rs
fetch_kdf_secret and build_supernic_lockdown_key accept an explicit IKM version. Missing requested versions return errors. Tests cover version-specific selection and seed handling.
Lock and unlock version resolution
crates/api-core/src/handlers/mlx_admin.rs, crates/api-core/src/handlers/svpc.rs, crates/api-db/src/credential_rotation.rs
Handlers resolve versions from in-flight, current, or site-wide rotation state. Locking stages the selected version before issuing the command. Unlocking uses the card version associated with the locked state.
Configuration documentation
crates/api-core/src/cfg/README.md
Documentation covers the new settings, rack capability counts, SiteExplorer limits, extension-service controllers, and switch certificate configuration scope.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 69081

The PR makes IKM lock/unlock derivation version-aware and adds configuration support. It is mergeable with owner awareness for duplicated security-sensitive precedence logic and for narrowing and documenting the new configuration helper’s public API.

187-204: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The "which IKM is this card locked under" rule is implemented twice. Both sites resolve the version as rotating_to_version.or(current_version).unwrap_or(SEED_LOCKDOWN_IKM_VERSION as i32), including the identical seed fallback and negative-version guard. This rule decides which key a locked card can be opened with. If one copy changes and the other does not, the administrative path and the assignment-cycle path will derive different keys for the same card. Extract it once — a method on the rotation-state type returning the resolved version reads well and keeps the conversion guard in a single place.

  • crates/api-core/src/handlers/svpc.rs#L187-L204: replace the inline precedence in resolve_unlock_ikm_version with a call to the shared helper, keeping the existing doc comment that explains the crash-window rationale.
  • crates/api-core/src/handlers/mlx_admin.rs#L1335-L1347: replace the inline precedence in get_device_lockdown_key with the same shared helper call.

The logic is correct at both sites today, so treat this as a maintainability measure rather than a defect.

Document the new public helper and keep its visibility narrow.

default_bmc_max_sessions_per_caller is a new public declaration without a Rust documentation comment. The supplied caller is inside crates/api-core, so use pub(crate) unless an external crate requires this symbol.

Proposed declaration cleanup
+/// Returns the default maximum number of Redfish sessions per caller and BMC.
 pub const fn default_bmc_max_sessions_per_caller() -> usize {

As per coding guidelines, document every new public declaration with Rust documentation comments and keep declarations private by default unless actual callers require wider visibility.

Make the IKM-version resolvers private Api methods.

Both resolvers take &Api and read its database connection and runtime configuration. Move them into impl Api, then call them through api from build_lock_command and build_unlock_command.
