AWF's firewall warning (and awf logs stats/summary) incorrectly reported AWF-internal Docker container traffic — specifically the MCP Gateway sidecar (awmgmcpg/awmg-mcpg) and 172.30.0.x IPs — as blocked external domains. Squid logs every TCP_DENIED regardless of whether the destination is internal container-to-container traffic or a genuinely missing external dependency.

Changes

  • New src/logs/internal-domain-filter.ts: isInternalAwfDomain(domain) returns true for two categories of AWF-internal destinations:

    1. IPv4 addresses on the AWF Docker network (172.30.0.0/24), checked against NETWORK_SUBNET from the policy
    2. Single-label hostnames (no dots) — Docker container names are always single-label; valid public internet domains always have at least one dot. Excludes - (Squid placeholder) and IPv6 addresses.
  • squid-log-reader.ts: Skip TCP_DENIED entries matching isInternalAwfDomain before adding to blockedTargets. This fixes both the runtime ⚠️ Firewall blocked N domain(s) warning and the blockedDomains return value consumed by gh-aw safe-outputs.

  • log-aggregator.ts: Skip denied entries for internal domains in aggregateLogs(), removing them from request counts and domain stats. Allowed traffic to explicitly whitelisted internal peers is preserved in stats. Time-range tracking includes all entries (consistent with the existing transaction-end-before-headers filter).

# Before: awmgmcpg:8080 → blockedTargets (spurious warning)
# After:  awmgmcpg:8080 → filtered (isInternalAwfDomain('awmgmcpg') === true, no dots)

# Before: 172.30.0.30:10001 → blockedTargets (spurious warning)
# After:  172.30.0.30:10001 → filtered (IP in 172.30.0.0/24)

Squid logs CONNECT attempts to internal Docker network addresses
(e.g. awmgmcpg/awmg-mcpg, 172.30.0.*) as TCP_DENIED when they bypass
NO_PROXY or lack a Squid ACL entry. These are container-to-container
connections — not missing external dependencies — but the log aggregator
and squid-log-reader were surfacing them as blocked external domains in
the firewall warning and in awf logs stats/summary output.

Add src/logs/internal-domain-filter.ts with isInternalAwfDomain() which
returns true for:
  1. IPv4 addresses on the AWF Docker network (172.30.0.0/24)
  2. Single-label hostnames (no dots, not IPv6, not Squid placeholder)

Apply the filter in squid-log-reader.ts and log-aggregator.ts.

src/logs/internal-domain-filter.ts:77

  • Treating every dot-free name as AWF-internal hides legitimate blocked dependencies. AWF accepts custom DNS servers, and such a server can resolve an exact single-label private service (for example registry); that denied request will now disappear from both blockedDomains and log statistics even though it is not an AWF container. Please restrict this branch to known/resolved topology peer names rather than inferring ownership from the absence of a dot.
  // Category 2: Single-label hostname — no dots means a Docker container name,
  // never a valid public internet domain.
  // Exclusions:
  //   '-'  — Squid's placeholder for an unknown/missing host; not a hostname.
  //   IPv6 — bracketed ("[::1]") or bare ("::1") addresses contain colons or
  //           brackets and have no dots, but are not Docker container names.

* 2. **Single-label hostnames** (no dots): Docker assigns container-scoped DNS
* names that contain no dots (e.g. `awmgmcpg`, `awmg-mcpg`). Every valid
* public internet hostname has at least one dot. A denial for a dot-free name
* is always Docker container-to-container traffic, not an external dependency.

@copilot address review feedback

Topology peer names are not guaranteed to be single-label (dot-free).
For example, `--topology-attach mcp.gateway-01` produces a peer name
with a dot, which the existing single-label heuristic cannot detect.

Changes:
- Add `topologyPeers?: string[]` to `PolicyManifest` so configured
  peers are written to policy-manifest.json and can be read back at
  log-analysis time.
- Update `generatePolicyManifest()` to include the topology peer list.
- Add optional `knownTopologyPeers?: ReadonlySet<string>` param to
  `isInternalAwfDomain()` (category 2 check). When present, a case-
  insensitive exact match against the peer set filters dotted names
  (e.g. `mcp.gateway-01`) that the single-label heuristic misses.
- `checkSquidLogs()` now reads topology peers from
  `<workDir>/audit/policy-manifest.json` and passes them to the filter.
- `aggregateLogs()` and `loadAndAggregate()` accept optional topology
  peers forwarded to `isInternalAwfDomain()`.
- `loadLogsWithErrorHandling()` reads the policy manifest before calling
  `loadAndAggregate()` to pass topology peers at aggregation time.
- Tests cover dotted topology peer filtering and case-insensitive
  matching; existing tests updated for new call signatures.

@copilot address review feedback

Fixed in the latest commit. The approach now:

  1. Stores topology peers in PolicyManifesttopologyPeers?: string[] field added to the type and populated by generatePolicyManifest() so the configured peer list is persisted to policy-manifest.json.

  2. isInternalAwfDomain accepts a knownTopologyPeers set — new Category 2 check does a case-insensitive exact match against the set, correctly filtering dotted names like mcp.gateway-01 that the single-label heuristic (now Category 3) cannot detect.

  3. checkSquidLogs reads topology peers from <workDir>/audit/policy-manifest.json at runtime and passes them to the filter.

  4. loadLogsWithErrorHandling reads the manifest before calling loadAndAggregate() and passes the peer set through, fixing both the runtime warning and the awf logs stats/summary path.

The single-label heuristic is retained as a Category 3 fallback for well-known AWF container names (e.g. awmg-mcpg) when no manifest is available, but the primary source for multi-label peer names is now the explicitly configured peer set.

Smoke Test: API Proxy OpenTelemetry Tracing

Scenario Result Notes
1. Module Loading otel.js loads successfully; exports: startRequestSpan, setTokenAttributes, setBudgetAttributes, endSpan, endSpanError, shutdown, isEnabled
2. Test Suite OTEL tests exist and cover: module init, _parseOtlpHeaders, startRequestSpan (parent context, invalid trace IDs), setTokenAttributes (GenAI semantic conventions), setBudgetAttributes, endSpan (2xx/4xx/5xx status codes)
3. Env Var Forwarding src/services/api-proxy-env-config.ts forwards OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, GITHUB_AW_OTEL_TRACE_ID, GITHUB_AW_OTEL_PARENT_SPAN_ID, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME (defaults to awf-api-proxy)
4. Token Tracker Integration onUsage callback exists in token-tracker-http.js and is invoked after normalized usage extraction — serves as the OTEL hook point
5. OTEL Diagnostics otel.js supports fan-out (GH_AW_OTLP_ENDPOINTS) and single-endpoint (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT) export modes; gracefully falls back to writing NDJSON to /var/log/api-proxy/otel.jsonl when neither is configured

All scenarios pass. OTEL integration is fully implemented with proper graceful degradation when not configured.
