Walkthrough

A middleware gate is added to the progress creation endpoint to temporarily block new record submissions due to security concerns. Associated integration tests for progress POST operations are skipped to reflect this temporary disable.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Route Middleware Gate routes/progresses.ts	Added disableRoute middleware import and integrated it into the POST endpoint chain between authentication and validation to gate progress creation. Includes inline comment documenting temporary security-related disable.
Skipped Test Suites test/integration/progressesTasks.test.js, test/integration/progressesUsers.test.js	Converted active test suite descriptions to skipped variants using describe.skip with accompanying comments, preventing POST-related progress tests from executing.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Verify the disableRoute middleware is properly imported and exported from the shortCircuit module
• Confirm the middleware placement in the route chain is intentional and correct
• Check that the security issue justifying the temporary disable is documented or tracked

Poem

🐰 A gate now blocks the progress road,
While guardians fix the security load—
Tests sleep beneath the skip's soft spell,
'Til all is mended, safe, and well! 🔒

🔇 Additional comments (3)

test/integration/progressesTasks.test.js (1)

28-29: LGTM! Test suite appropriately skipped.

The POST test suite is correctly disabled using describe.skip to align with the temporarily disabled route. The ESLint directive properly suppresses the mocha/no-skipped-tests warning.

test/integration/progressesUsers.test.js (1)

21-22: LGTM! Top-level test suite appropriately skipped.

The entire test suite is correctly disabled using describe.skip to align with the temporarily disabled POST route.

routes/progresses.ts (1)

15-18: LGTM! Route correctly disabled with appropriate middleware.

The disableRoute middleware is properly positioned after authentication to return a 503 Service Unavailable response for all POST requests. The comment clearly explains the temporary nature of this change.

Note: The static analysis tool flags missing rate limiting on this route. While not critical for a disabled route, consider adding rate limiting when re-enabling this endpoint to mitigate abuse and protect against DoS attacks.
