CI is red on `main` and on every open PR (including the Dependabot PRs
#1531, #1552–#1554) with:
```
panic: file requires newer Go version go1.27 (application built with go1.26)
golangci-lint exit with code 2
```
## Cause
`actions/setup-go` with `go-version: 'stable'` started resolving to
**go1.27.0**. The pinned golangci-lint **v2.11.4** release binary is
built with **go1.26**, and its `go/types` refuses to typecheck source
files declaring a newer language version. Nothing in the failing PRs is
at fault.
## Fix
Bump to **golangci-lint v2.13.1**, whose release binaries are built with
go1.27, so linting works under `stable` again.
That bump also pulls in newer linter versions, which surface 57 findings
this tree did not have before. Handled as follows:
| Linter | Count | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| `goconst` | 50 | 39 were repeated literals in `_test.go` files —
goconst started counting those in v2.12.0 (golangci-lint#6480 exposed
`ignore-tests`). Fixture data like `"1.0.0"` (89 occurrences) is not a
missing constant, so `goconst.ignore-tests: true`. The other 11 were
real duplication in production code (OpenAPI tags, the `bearer` security
scheme name, `$ref`, `http`/`https`) and became named constants. |
| `gosec` G710 | 1 | **True positive, fixed.** See below. |
| `staticcheck` SA1019 | 6 | Go 1.26 deprecated `ecdsa.PublicKey.X/Y`
and `PrivateKey.D`. Annotated with the same targeted `nolint` +
rationale already used for `ScalarBaseMult` in
`cmd/publisher/auth/common.go`. |
### The open redirect is real
`TrailingSlashMiddleware` copied the entire `*url.URL` before rewriting
the path. For an absolute-form request URI — legal for a Go HTTP server
to parse, e.g. `GET http://evil.com/foo/ HTTP/1.1` — `r.URL.Scheme` and
`r.URL.Host` are populated, and they were echoed straight back in the
`Location` header. The redirect target is now built from the cleaned
path and query alone. The existing `path.Clean` hardening for
GHSA-v8vw-gw5j-w7m6 (protocol-relative `//evil.com/`) is unchanged.
### Also
Switched `gomodguard` → `gomodguard_v2`; the former is deprecated as of
v2.12.0 and was emitting a warning on every run.
## Verification
- `golangci-lint v2.13.1` against this tree: **0 issues**, no
deprecation warnings
- `make validate`: all validations passed
- `go build ./...` and tests for every touched package pass (DB-backed
tests need Postgres; left to CI)
## Note on migrating the ecdsa key paths
Moving those six sites to `PublicKey.Bytes` /
`ParseUncompressedPublicKey` / `crypto/ecdh` touches key parsing and
signature verification. It should be its own reviewed PR rather than
riding along on a CI unblock. Happy to open one.

## What this does
Fixes an open redirect plus a handful of small, mostly-invisible
hardening changes around it.
## What's in it
- **The fix**: trailing-slash redirects no longer let `//evil.com/`
redirect off-host.
- **SSRF block** on the DNS/HTTP namespace verification — refuses to
dial loopback, RFC1918, link-local, multicast, CGNAT, or
IP-literal/single-label \"domains\".
- **Slow-client guard**: `ReadTimeout` and `IdleTimeout` on the HTTP
server (no `WriteTimeout` — would risk cutting off legitimate
multi-package publishes).
- **Defence-in-depth headers** on the UI (`/`) and 404 responses.
- **5xx responses** stop leaking raw DB error text to clients (logged
server-side instead).
- **Search filter** stops treating `%` and `_` as wildcards.
- **Validators**: PyPI/NuGet identifiers URL-escaped before fetching;
MCPB no longer follows redirects.
- **Misc**: `Version` field bounded to 255 chars; logs quote user input;
`BlockedNamespaces` denylist now catches subdomain claimants.
Each change is its own commit so they can be reviewed (or reverted)
independently.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI green
- [ ] Synthetic publish in staging for each package type (npm, pypi,
nuget, oci, mcpb) — confirms validator changes don't regress
- [ ] Quick browser check of `/` after deploy to confirm UI still loads
with the new CSP
- [ ] `curl https://<host>//evil.com/` — confirm the open redirect is
closed

## Motivation and Context
Fixes#637
Server lifecycle management (deprecation and yanking) is a standard
requirement for package registries. Use cases like rebranding, security
vulnerabilities, and end-of-life servers demand the ability to mark
servers as deprecated or deleted, with optional messaging to guide
consumers toward alternatives.
## Changes
### New API endpoints
- **`PATCH /v0/servers/{serverName}/versions/{version}/status`** —
Update the lifecycle status of a single server version
- **`PATCH /v0/servers/{serverName}/status`** — Update the lifecycle
status of all versions of a server in a single transaction
Both endpoints accept:
```json
{
"status": "active|deprecated|deleted",
"statusMessage": "Optional message (max 500 chars) explaining the change"
}
```
### New CLI command
- **`mcp-publisher status <serverName> [version]`** — Update server
lifecycle status from the command line
- `--status` (required): `active`, `deprecated`, or `deleted`
- `--message`: Optional status message
- `--all-versions`: Apply to all versions of the server (replaces the
`<version>` argument)
### API response changes
`RegistryExtensions` now includes two new fields:
- `statusChangedAt` — Timestamp of the last status change
- `statusMessage` — Optional free-form message (e.g., deprecation
reason, migration guidance)
### List endpoint changes
- New `include_deleted` query parameter on `GET /v0/servers` — defaults
to `false`, hiding deleted servers from listings
- When `updated_since` is provided, `include_deleted` is automatically
set to `true` for incremental sync
### Database
- Migration `013_add_status_fields.sql`: Adds `status_changed_at` (NOT
NULL, initialized from `published_at`) and `status_message` columns to
the `servers` table
### Design decisions (from review discussion)
- **Dedicated status endpoints** rather than overloading the existing
edit endpoint
- **Bidirectional status transitions** — all transitions between
`active`, `deprecated`, and `deleted` are allowed
- **`statusMessage` as free-form text** — no structured `nextName` or
`alternativeUrl` fields (per maintainer feedback, to avoid complexity
around chaining, trust transfer, etc.)
- **Publish permission** grants status change access (not limited to
admin/edit)
- **Status message auto-cleared** when transitioning back to `active`
Good, now I have the full picture. Here's the addendum:
### Consumer-facing API changes
The new status fields live inside
`_meta["io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official"]` on every
`ServerResponse`. This is the existing `RegistryExtensions` object — two
new fields are added alongside the existing ones:
**Before:**
```json
{
"server": { "name": "com.example/my-server", "...": "..." },
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"status": "active",
"publishedAt": "2025-06-01T00:00:00Z",
"updatedAt": "2025-06-15T00:00:00Z",
"isLatest": true
}
}
}
```
**After:**
```json
{
"server": { "name": "com.example/my-server", "...": "..." },
"_meta": {
"io.modelcontextprotocol.registry/official": {
"status": "deprecated",
"statusChangedAt": "2026-02-01T12:00:00Z",
"statusMessage": "Deprecated in favor of com.example/my-server-v2",
"publishedAt": "2025-06-01T00:00:00Z",
"updatedAt": "2026-02-01T12:00:00Z",
"isLatest": true
}
}
}
```
| New field | Type | Present when |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `statusChangedAt` | `string` (RFC3339) | Always — initialized to
`publishedAt` for existing records |
| `statusMessage` | `string` (max 500 chars) | Only when set —
`null`/omitted for active servers (auto-cleared on transition to active)
|
These fields appear on **every endpoint that returns a
`ServerResponse`**: `GET /v0/servers`, `GET /v0/servers/{name}`, `GET
/v0/servers/{name}/versions/{version}`, and the new PATCH status
endpoints.
### List endpoint filtering
`GET /v0/servers` gains an `include_deleted` query parameter:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| No `include_deleted` param | Deleted servers hidden (default `false`)
|
| `include_deleted=true` | Deleted servers included in results |
| `updated_since` provided | `include_deleted` forced to `true` for
incremental sync |
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Unit tests for status handler (`status_test.go`) covering status
transitions, permission checks, validation errors, and the all-versions
endpoint
- Unit tests for the CLI command (`status_test.go`)
- Integration with existing server/edit handler tests
- Database layer tests for the new status update and query methods
- Tested locally with `make dev-compose`
## Types of changes
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## Checklist
- [x] I have read the [MCP
Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
- [x] My code follows the repository's style guidelines
- [x] New and existing tests pass locally
- [x] I have added appropriate error handling
- [x] I have added or updated documentation as needed
## Open items from review
- [ ] `include_deleted` silent override: When `updated_since` is
provided and `include_deleted=false` is explicitly passed, should return
a 400 error rather than silently overriding
