Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to On a proxy that uses Redis or MQTT, an incoming broker message and an outgoing vote can wait on each other indefinitely. When that happens, vote delivery stops until the proxy is restarted. This deadlock should be fixed before merging. The earlier problems with a missing shared key, misspelled authentication modes, and encryption not applying on proxy reload are fixed in the current code. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The optional encrypted mode can reject ordinary HTTP and plugin messages after they have been decrypted, disrupting communication when operators enable it. Authentication also remains in compatibility mode by default until a coordinated switch to required mode. Retained concerns

109-114: A missing key in COMPATIBILITY mode still starts silently.This concern was raised in an earlier review. The current code still returns a keyless authenticator in
COMPATIBILITYmode. When a signed envelope arrives,verify()rejects it asMALFORMEDbecausedomainKeysis empty.Startup now calls
SharedSecretKeyFile.ensure, so the missing-file case is less likely. A node with a newly generated local key still rejects signed traffic from upgraded peers.VotingPlugin/src/main/java/com/bencodez/votingplugin/proxy/VotingPluginProxy.java (1)
1979-1979: Validating the authenticator this late can leaveload()partly initialized.This concern was raised in an earlier review.
load()now builds the authenticator at line 1838, before any cache state exists, so most failures happen early. The call at line 1979 only confirms state that already exists.VotingPlugin/src/test/java/com/bencodez/votingplugin/proxy/security/SharedTransportEnvelopeAuthenticatorTest.java (1)

## Change and PR workflow
For substantive work, obtain a fresh source-read-only `$code-review` of the exact intended change before the first push or PR update. The implementation agent verifies and fixes accepted findings, reruns all required checks, and obtains a new review of the updated snapshot. Any substantive repository change after a clean review—including source, tests, build or dependency configuration, workflow files, resources, contracts, documentation, or instructions—invalidates the previous clean verdict. Rerun applicable validation and obtain a fresh review of the exact intended snapshot; do not reuse an earlier verdict. Hosted PR review is confirmation, not the first full review, and merge still requires explicit authorization.

Dependency
Depends on BenCodez/SimpleAPI#96 for the HTTP wire-codec boundary that keeps durable queue records independent of encryption keys.
Summary
CommunicationEncryptionfor complete proxy/backend and multi-proxy envelopes on non-HTTP methods; HTTP retains its existing authenticated TLS confidentialitysecretkey.keyon Bukkit, Bungee, and Velocity startup even while encryption is disabled, and recommend the coordinated enablement step in startup logsPrevious trust boundary
Redis and MQTT payloads were decoded and handed directly to the global message routers. Multi-proxy Redis did the same for vote forwarding, acknowledgements, retirement messages, presence, and capability traffic. Broker publish access was therefore enough to forge authoritative messages. Control auto-enrollment's HMAC did not authenticate ordinary VotingPlugin envelopes.
PluginMessageEncryptioncovered only plugin-message framing and used the legacy SimpleAPI cipher. MySQL, Redis, MQTT, HTTP application envelopes, and multi-proxy traffic did not share a confidentiality setting.Multi-proxy Redis also used
VotingPluginProxy_<proxy>directly, so networks with different Redis prefixes could consume one another's traffic.Authentication and encryption design
SharedTransportEnvelopeAuthenticatorderives domain-separated HMAC-SHA-256 keys from the shared Base64secretkey.keyfor Redis proxy/backend, MQTT proxy/backend, and Redis multi-proxy traffic. Its v2 MAC length-prefixes and covers the protocol domain, exact Redis channel or MQTT topic, schema, sender identity, subchannel, timestamp, random transport message UUID, and every payload field. Verification is constant-time and occurs before routing or state mutation. A two-minute freshness window and bounded 65,536-entry replay cache reject exact authenticated replays. Expiry uses an ordered heap, so verification removes only expired entries instead of scanning the live cache. Existing stable vote IDs remain unchanged.CommunicationEncryptiondefaults tofalse. When enabled on every node it wraps complete envelopes with AES-256-GCM before the final transport boundary. Keys are derived separately for proxy/backend and multi-proxy domains. This applies to MYSQL, PLUGINMESSAGING, SOCKETS, REDIS, MQTT, and multi-proxy Redis/socket messaging. HTTP continues to use mutual TLS and persists semantic envelopes so durable deliveries survive application-key enablement or rotation; sockets retain their existing framing encryption, and Redis/MQTT retain mandatory HMAC outside the encrypted envelope.Redis delivery IDs remain outside ciphertext so handoff/deduplication can inspect them, while the outer HMAC authenticates both the delivery ID and ciphertext. The semantic payload and stable vote ID remain protected inside ciphertext.
PluginMessageEncryptionremains readable only for existing configurations as a legacy plugin-message framing compatibility setting. New default files exposeCommunicationEncryptioninstead.Key setup and rollout
Every Bukkit backend, Bungee proxy, and Velocity proxy creates a 256-bit
secretkey.keywith owner-only POSIX permissions where supported. Existing key files are never replaced. No key material is logged.Startup warns while
CommunicationEncryptionis disabled and recommends:secretkey.keyto every backend and other proxy;CommunicationEncryption: trueeverywhere;Disabled upgraded receivers can decrypt encrypted envelopes, allowing a staged software/key rollout. Once a node enables encryption, it rejects plaintext envelopes, so the final setting change is coordinated.
SharedTransportAuthenticationremains independent and defaults toCOMPATIBILITYso an upgraded JAR can communicate with older nodes during a rolling deployment. Compatibility mode keeps outbound broker envelopes unsigned and warns that legacy traffic remains forgeable, preventing independently generated keys from breaking a rolling JAR upgrade. After every node has the shared key and upgraded JAR, operators should setREQUIREDeverywhere and reload or restart; that mode signs destination-bound v2 envelopes and rejects unsigned or legacy v1 traffic. Existing REQUIRED deployments must stage the upgraded JARs in COMPATIBILITY before enabling REQUIRED everywhere because v1 and v2 REQUIRED peers are intentionally incompatible. Optional confidentiality never replaces broker authentication.Redis channel naming
Before:
VotingPluginProxy_<proxy>After in authenticated-only
REQUIREDmode:<Redis.Prefix>VotingPlugin<Redis.Prefix>VotingPlugin_<server><Redis.Prefix>VotingPluginProxy_<proxy>Publisher and subscriber share centralized derivation. Reused Redis connections do not double-prefix channels. The COMPATIBILITY bridge temporarily uses both names. Its unsigned duplicate copies use a bounded two-second, 1,024-entry receive fence; REQUIRED mode uses only the prefixed destination-bound channel.
Validation
Focused final validation:
Full required build:
Fresh artifact:
git diff --checkpasses. Post-creation short read-only reviews fixed direct-send encryption bypasses, Redis delivery-ID placement, replacement rollback double-decryption, rolling-upgrade key behavior, strict mode parsing, and soft-reload policy replacement before the final build and push. Proxy runtimes recreate their verifier on reload, and active Bukkit Redis/MQTT transports reread key material and replace changed authentication and encryption policies in place. Failed key validation retains the previous live policy. Control full-editor preparation leaves the predecessor runtime untouched and publishes proposed security settings only with the validated replacement.Remaining limitations
CommunicationEncryptionrequires the same copied key and coordinated enablement on all nodes. It is intentionally disabled by default for upgrade compatibility.Summary by CodeRabbit
