Andrey Antukh f7f4cbb301 🐛 Revoke websocket subscriptions when access is revoked
GHSA-m53j-2766-6jqw. A websocket subscription was authorized once,
when it opened, and that decision was trusted for the rest of the
connection's life, so a member whose access was revoked kept receiving
live file content as long as the tab stayed open.

The revocation travels over the message bus instead of closing the
socket from the mutation: the connection registry is local to one
backend instance, while the RPC that revokes access runs on whichever
instance received the request. Every instance re-verifies the
subscriptions it owns with the same `has-read-permissions?` predicates
that `:subscribe-file` and `:subscribe-team` authorize with, so a
downgrade to viewer keeps its subscription and a non-member
organization owner keeps read-only access.

Two mechanisms cover each other:

- Access-changing mutations announce after the write. delete-team-
  member, leave-team, update-team-member-role, delete-file,
  delete-project, move-files, move-project and delete-team announce.
  delete-share-link is deliberately excluded: a share-link visitor
  never passes the subscribe permission check, so there is no
  subscription to revoke. Team-wide changes publish one event per
  team; the watcher resolves the members itself, and both publishers
  defer through `db/after-commit` so the watcher never decides from
  pre-commit state.
- Every relay re-checks access every 5 minutes by default
  (`subscription-revalidation-interval`), driven from the relay loop
  with `alts!` over the subscription channel and a one-shot tick
  channel, so a steady stream of edits cannot push the check away
  forever.

Supporting changes:

- The registry holds `:connections` and `:by-profile` in one atom,
  kept consistent by register/unregister in a single swap!; a profile
  lookup is one map access, and a profile whose last connection
  leaves is dropped from the index.
- `close-file-subscription` and `close-team-subscription` announce
  the :leave-* message, close the relay channel and purge the bus
  subscription, and are idempotent. Closing the channel ends the
  relay loop and its re-check task.
- The permission query the re-check uses filters soft-deleted files,
  projects and teams, matching its sibling queries.
- A transient database error fails open: it logs and keeps the
  subscription; the next tick retries.
- The revocation watcher's params schema declared the nitrate client
  as a bare keyword inside [:map ...], which malli resolved as a
  registry lookup and which took the whole system build down under
  enable-backend-asserts. It is now an explicit pair, optional
  because init-key yields nil with the admin-console flag off.

The tests reproduce the leak against the real message bus, including
the negative control for the interval re-check. The written records
live in mem:backend/websocket-subscriptions.

Closes #12155

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.

Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.

Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.

Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.

The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.

With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.

Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.

If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us
