fix(core): DSPX-4682 protect pprof endpoints

[strantalis]

Proposed Changes

• Place /debug/pprof/* behind the existing HTTP authentication and authorization middleware.
• Cap caller-selected CPU, trace, and delta-profile collection durations at 30 seconds across query, URL-encoded, and multipart inputs.
• Preserve pprof index, symbol POST, and non-pprof handler behavior.
• Document the authentication and duration behavior for enable_pprof.

Jira: DSPX-4682

Checklist

• I have added or updated unit tests
• I have added or updated integration tests (not applicable; this is covered at the HTTP handler boundary)
• I have added or updated documentation

Testing Instructions

Passed:

make fmt
git diff --check
cd service/internal/server && go test -race ./... -run 'Test(NewHTTPServer_PprofRequiresAuthentication|PprofHandler|PprofHandlerRejectsBodyDuration|PprofHandlerPreservesSymbolPostBody)$' -count=1
cd service/internal/server && golangci-lint run -c ../../../.golangci.yaml --new-from-rev=HEAD ./...
cd sdk && go test -run TestREADMECodeBlocks

Repository-wide checks remain blocked by the current local environment and existing baseline findings:

• make lint stops because the configured Buf token is invalid. Direct changed-code lint passes.
• make test passes service/internal/server and service/internal/auth under -race, then fails integration packages because Colima/Docker, Keycloak, and the local platform endpoint are unavailable.
• govulncheck reports existing dependency and Go 1.26.3 advisories unrelated to this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Security

  • Go performance profiling endpoints now honor the server’s HTTP authentication and authorization controls.

• Bug Fixes

  • Profiling requests with collection durations longer than 30 seconds are rejected with a clear client error.
  • Invalid or oversized profiling request data now receives an appropriate client error.
  • Profiling endpoint request handling is more consistent, including symbol lookup requests.

• Documentation

  • Clarified the enable_pprof configuration behavior, authentication requirements, profiling endpoint, and 30-second collection limit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now protects pprof endpoints with authentication and authorization, limits supported profiling durations to 30 seconds, and adds tests and configuration documentation for the new behavior.

Changes

pprof hardening

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Authenticated pprof boundary service/internal/server/server.go, service/internal/server/server_test.go, docs/Configuring.md	The pprof handler is wired before authentication middleware. The server uses a named 30-second timeout constant. Tests verify authentication enforcement. Documentation describes the endpoint, access control, and duration cap.
Duration validation and coverage service/internal/server/server.go, service/internal/server/server_test.go	Supported pprof endpoints reject durations above 30 seconds with HTTP 400. Bounded form parsing returns HTTP 413 for oversized bodies and HTTP 400 for invalid bodies. Unsupported endpoints bypass duration validation. Tests cover query parameters, POST bodies, invalid durations, fallback handling, oversized bodies, and symbol requests.

Thirty seconds hold profiling dreams
Forms stay bounded, errors clear
Auth keeps watch at the frontier

- Line 490: Update the handler around the seconds form parsing to bound the
request body with http.MaxBytesReader before calling r.FormValue or parsing the
form, handle parsing errors, and return 413 Request Entity Too Large when the
configured limit is exceeded; preserve the existing duration validation behavior
for valid requests.
- Line 358: Increase the pprof-enabled HTTPServerConfig.WriteTimeout beyond
maxPprofDurationSeconds to provide completion margin after profiling and
response processing. Preserve the existing timeout configuration path and use
the same duration units.
