Code review feedback identified branded prefixes ("Sentinel 🛡️:", "Sentinel:") in comments, violating project style guidelines requiring simple descriptive comments.

Changes Made

  • server/utils.ts:47 - Removed "Sentinel 🛡️:" prefix from verifyAudioFileSignature() JSDoc comment
  • server/routes.ts:1151 - Removed "Sentinel:" prefix from file signature verification inline comment

Both comments now use plain descriptive text per project guidelines.

// Before
/**
 * Sentinel 🛡️: Validates audio file signatures to prevent malicious uploads.
 * Checks for MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and AAC/M4A magic bytes.
 */

// After
/**
 * Validates audio file signatures to prevent malicious uploads.
 * Checks for MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and AAC/M4A magic bytes.
 */

Summary by cubic

Updated Sentinel’s file upload pipeline to close a validation bypass, enforcing strict server-side checks and safer defaults. This blocks spoofed uploads and reduces the risk of malicious files being stored.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Verify file type using magic bytes with an allowlist, not headers or extensions.
    • Enforce size limits; reject double-extension and hidden-dot filenames.
    • Sanitize filenames and normalize paths to prevent traversal.
    • Run validation middleware before storage and remove the route that skipped checks.

Written for commit d9915f9. Summary will update on new commits.
