CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): [lib-audit] S2-19 knowledge fetches have no size cap or content-type gate (OOM on 4 GB)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-p62sao.

Add shared stream_text_response helper that streams response bodies,
enforces a 10 MB byte cap, and rejects non-text/* content-types.

Wire the helper into knowledge_ingest._download_article,
knowledge_monitor._fetch_article, and library_pipeline.WebProcessor._fetch
so a malicious or misconfigured URL cannot exhaust host memory.

RED tests added in tests/test_knowledge_ingest.py,
tests/test_knowledge_monitor.py, and tests/test_web_fetch.py covering
oversized bodies and application/octet-stream rejection with
bytes-read <= cap assertions.

All 122 relevant unit tests pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Web and knowledge-fetching now stream response bodies with a 10 MB size limit.
    • Non-text responses are rejected before content is processed.
    • Supported text responses, including HTML and plain text with charset parameters, continue to be accepted.
    • Oversized responses stop being read once the limit is reached, reducing unnecessary data buffering.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for size limits, content-type validation, and streaming behavior across web and knowledge-fetching workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Knowledge fetch paths now use shared response streaming. The helper rejects non-text responses, enforces a 10 MB body limit, and provides response bytes for article ingestion, monitoring, and library web processing.

Changes

Knowledge fetch streaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared streaming helper and coverage
tinyagentos/web_fetch.py, tests/test_web_fetch.py
stream_text_response validates text/* content types, streams responses in chunks, enforces the 10 MB limit, and supports a text fallback. Tests cover accepted, rejected, oversized, and charset-bearing responses.
Article ingest and monitor integration
tinyagentos/knowledge_ingest.py, tinyagentos/knowledge_monitor.py, tests/test_knowledge_ingest.py, tests/test_knowledge_monitor.py
Article ingestion and monitor re-fetches use the shared helper and decode returned bytes as UTF-8 with replacement. Tests verify size and content-type rejection.
Library web processing integration
tinyagentos/library_pipeline.py, changelog.d/tsk-p62sao-knowledge-fetch-size-cap.md
WebProcessor._fetch delegates response validation and size-capped streaming to the shared helper. The changelog records the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7b023

Article ingestion and monitoring remain vulnerable to excessive memory use from large responses and can corrupt non-UTF-8 articles. These fetch-path regressions should be corrected before merge.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For HTTPX 0.27.0, does await httpx.AsyncClient.get(...) fully read the response body before returning? What HTTPX API keeps an AsyncClient response body streamed until aiter_bytes() consumes it?

💡 Result:

Yes, when using await httpx.AsyncClient.get(...) in HTTPX 0.27.0, the response body is fully read into memory before the call returns [1][2]. This is the default behavior for standard request methods like.get,.post, etc. [1][2] To keep the response body streamed (i.e., not loading the full body into memory immediately), you must use the AsyncClient.stream method [1][3]. This method returns an asynchronous context manager that allows you to access the response object while the body remains unread [1][2]. You can then consume the response body in chunks using asynchronous streaming APIs such as.aiter_bytes,.aiter_text, or.aiter_lines [1][2][4]. If you need to read the full body later while using a streaming response, you can call.aread [5][2].

Keep the response streamed until stream_text_response consumes it.

await http.get(...) buffers the full response before max_bytes is checked. Use http.stream(...) while client_cm remains active, and close each redirect response before the next hop.

Decode with the response encoding.

stream_text_response returns resp.encoding, but this line always uses UTF-8. A valid text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 response will store corrupted article content and title text. Use the returned encoding with replacement handling.

Proposed fix
-        _, _, html_bytes = await stream_text_response(resp)
-        html = html_bytes.decode("utf-8", errors="replace")
+        _, encoding, html_bytes = await stream_text_response(resp)
+        html = html_bytes.decode(encoding, errors="replace")

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For HTTPX 0.27.0, does awaiting AsyncClient.get(...)read the complete response body before return, whileAsyncClient.stream(...) leaves the body available for incremental reads?

💡 Result:

Yes, that is correct. In HTTPX 0.27.0, AsyncClient.get(...) (and other standard request methods) automatically reads the entire response body into memory before returning the Response object [1][2]. In contrast, AsyncClient.stream(...) is designed to yield a Response object immediately after receiving the response headers, without reading the full body [1][3]. This allows you to process the response body incrementally using asynchronous iteration methods such as aiter_bytes(), aiter_text(), or aiter_lines() [1][2]. To ensure the connection is properly managed, AsyncClient.stream(...) should be used as an asynchronous context manager, which automatically closes the response stream when exiting the block [1][2][3].

Open the response in streaming mode before applying the byte cap.

AsyncClient.get() reads the response body before stream_text_response() runs. Use async with self._http_client.stream(...) as resp: so the helper can enforce the byte limit during incremental reads. Update the regression test to use a streaming HTTPX response.

Decode with the response encoding.

stream_text_response() returns resp.encoding, but this line ignores it. For example, an ISO-8859-1 article containing b"caf\xe9" becomes caf�. The monitor then records a false change and can overwrite the stored content with corrupted text.

Proposed fix
-            _, _, text_bytes = await stream_text_response(resp)
-            new_content = text_bytes.decode("utf-8", errors="replace")
+            _, encoding, text_bytes = await stream_text_response(resp)
+            new_content = text_bytes.decode(encoding, errors="replace")
