feat(filestore): S3/R2 object store for file attachments with streaming multipart upload by chaodu-agent · Pull Request #1348 · openabdev/openab

chaodu-agent · 2026-07-10T18:23:52Z

Summary

File attachments (large text, PDFs, ZIPs, binaries, and any format) were previously silently dropped — the agent never knew the file existed. This PR introduces [filestore] — an S3/R2-compatible object store that uploads these files via streaming multipart and returns presigned GET URLs so any agent can fetch them without authentication.

All 7 platforms supported: Discord, Slack, Telegram, Feishu, Google Chat, WeCom, LINE.

Platforms Benefiting

Platform	Benefit
Discord	Large text + PDF/ZIP/binary no longer silently dropped (streaming multipart)
Slack	Same + solves Bearer token gap (OAB re-hosts on S3)
Telegram	All file types now downloadable via presigned URL
Feishu (飛書)	Same as Telegram
Google Chat	Same as Telegram
WeCom (企業微信)	Same as Telegram
LINE	Same as Telegram

When [filestore] is configured, Gateway adapters download all file types (not just text) so Core can upload them to S3/R2.

Before vs After

Before (current main)

File Type	≤ 512 KB	> 512 KB
Text (.txt, .py, .json, etc.)	✅ Inline	❌ Silently dropped
PDF, ZIP, DOCX, binary	❌ Silently dropped	❌ Silently dropped
Image	✅ Base64 inline	✅ Base64 inline
Audio	✅ STT transcript	✅ STT transcript
Video	Metadata URL	Metadata URL

After (with `[filestore]` configured)

File Type	≤ 512 KB	> 512 KB
Text	✅ Inline (unchanged)	✅ Upload → presigned URL
PDF, ZIP, DOCX, binary	✅ Upload → presigned URL	✅ Upload → presigned URL
Image	✅ Base64 inline (unchanged)	✅ Base64 inline (unchanged)
Audio	✅ STT transcript (unchanged)	✅ STT transcript (unchanged)
Video	Metadata URL (unchanged)	Metadata URL (unchanged)

What the Agent Sees

Before: (nothing — agent has no idea the file was attached)

After (large text file):

[File: test-results.txt]
This file (1024 KB) exceeds the 512 KB inline limit. It has been uploaded
to temporary storage. Fetch the contents using the URL below:
https://bucket.s3.../incoming/uuid_test-results.txt?X-Amz-...
Note: this URL expires in 60 minutes.

After (PDF/binary):

[File: report.pdf]
Type: application/pdf
Size: 2048 KB
This file has been uploaded to temporary storage. Fetch the contents
using the URL below:
https://bucket.s3.../incoming/uuid_report.pdf?X-Amz-...
Note: this URL expires in 60 minutes.

Configuration

[filestore]
bucket = "my-oab-files"
region = "us-west-2"
# endpoint = "https://<id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com"  # Cloudflare R2
prefix = "incoming/"
presigned_ttl = 3600          # 1 hour (max 7 days)
max_file_size_mb = 250        # default 250, max 500
access_key_id = "${secrets.filestore_key}"
secret_access_key = "${secrets.filestore_secret}"

Required S3 lifecycle rules:

{
  "Rules": [
    { "ID": "expire-uploads", "Filter": {"Prefix": "incoming/"}, "Expiration": {"Days": 1} },
    { "ID": "abort-incomplete", "Filter": {"Prefix": "incoming/"}, "AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload": {"DaysAfterInitiation": 1} }
  ]
}

Key Design Decisions

Streaming multipart upload — ~16 MB memory per upload regardless of file size
All platforms, all file types — 7 platforms × any format
Presigned URLs require no auth from agent
OAB downloads using platform token — re-hosts on operator storage
Correct MIME types — platform content_type passed to S3
Prompt-safe hints — filename and MIME sanitized
All error paths abort multipart uploads
Configurable — file size (250 MB), TTL (1h), both capped
Enabled by default — zero impact without [filestore] config
Graceful failures — degraded hints on error/timeout
Gateway store_all_files — adapters download all types when filestore configured

Supported Backends

AWS S3 | Cloudflare R2 (zero egress) | MinIO | Any S3-compatible store

Technical Details

Aspect	Value
Upload method	S3 multipart (16 MB chunks)
Memory per upload	~16 MB (streaming)
Timeouts	10 minutes
Max file size	250 MB default, 500 MB max

config.rs — FilestoreConfig
media.rs — streaming paths, any-file upload, Content-Length routing
discord.rs + slack.rs — filestore for large text + unsupported formats

…ents When a text file exceeds the 512 KB inline limit and a [filestore] section is configured, OAB now: 1. Downloads the file using the platform token (solving the Slack auth gap) 2. Uploads it to the configured S3/R2-compatible bucket 3. Generates a presigned GET URL (no auth needed by the agent) 4. Returns a hint block with the presigned URL and expiry info This eliminates the silent-drop behavior for large text files across all platforms and works with any agent that can perform HTTP GET. Config example: [filestore] bucket = "my-oab-files" region = "us-west-2" # endpoint = "https://<id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com" # for R2 presigned_ttl = 3600 Key design decisions: - Feature-gated behind `filestore` flag (opt-in at build time) - When filestore is not configured, existing behavior preserved (silent drop) - Presigned URLs require zero auth from the agent side - Uploaded files report 0 inline bytes (do not count against aggregate cap) - 50 MB hard cap on filestore uploads (defense-in-depth) - Works with AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, or any S3-compatible store - Cloudflare R2 has zero egress fees, ideal for this use case Changes: - config.rs: FilestoreConfig struct - filestore.rs: Filestore struct with upload_and_presign() - media.rs: cfg-gated dual implementation for filestore/non-filestore - discord.rs + slack.rs: skip aggregate cap for filestore-eligible files - main.rs: Filestore initialization - docs/config-reference.md: full documentation Resolves the architectural gap identified in PR #1346 review.

Covers configuration examples (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO), security model, error handling, cost considerations, and comparison with alternative approaches.

…tials Always prefer [secrets.refs] for filestore credentials (R2 API tokens, explicit S3 keys). Secret refs resolve from AWS Secrets Manager or exec providers at boot time — never stored in plaintext, support rotation, and provide audit trails. Env vars are acceptable for development but not recommended in production.

…ements Fixes 7 findings from group review: 1. 🔴 Post-download 50MB recheck: verify actual bytes.len() after download, not just platform-reported size (Discord may underreport) 2. 🔴 Upload failure fallback: return degraded hint block instead of silent drop — agent now knows file exists even when upload fails 3. 🟡 Filename sanitization: strip /, \, .., null bytes, non-ASCII chars; limit to 200 chars to prevent S3 key issues 4. 🟡 Content-Type: set text/plain; charset=utf-8 on put_object so browsers and agents handle presigned URL responses correctly 5. 🟡 force_path_style: only enable when custom endpoint is configured (path-style is deprecated by AWS S3 but needed for R2/MinIO) 6. 🟡 presigned_ttl cap: enforce 7-day maximum to prevent excessively long-lived presigned URLs 7. 🟡 Docs: clarify filestore is opt-in feature, not enabled by default

Prevent indefinite hangs when downloading large files from platform CDNs or uploading to S3/R2. Both operations are capped at 180 seconds: - Download: reqwest .timeout(180s) on the HTTP request - Upload: tokio::time::timeout wrapping put_object().send() Without timeouts, a stalled connection could block the message pipeline indefinitely, especially on slow networks or when S3 endpoints are unreachable.

- Empty access_key_id / secret_access_key (from unset env vars expanded to "") now correctly falls back to AWS provider chain instead of using empty credentials that would fail auth - docs/filestore.md: add warning that S3 lifecycle expiry must be longer than presigned_ttl to avoid 404 errors on valid URLs

Move the 50 MB size check into upload_bytes_to_filestore so it applies regardless of which code path calls it (both download_and_upload_to_filestore and the defense-in-depth fallback in download_text_file_inner). Previously, if a platform underreported file size as 0, the file could bypass the pre-download check in download_and_upload_to_filestore and reach upload_bytes_to_filestore without a size guard.

…ates - download_text_file_inner: use 180s timeout when filestore is available (handles size=0 or underreported files that may be large) - docs/filestore.md: update Error Handling table to reflect degraded hint behavior on upload failure (no longer silent drop) - docs/filestore.md: add platform scope note (Discord/Slack only, gateway not yet integrated)

Per maintainer decision: 1. Add filestore to default Cargo features — users get it in standard builds without needing --features filestore 2. Raise per-file upload cap from 50MB to 500MB to accommodate large logs and test outputs (Slack supports up to 1GB files) Note: current implementation buffers the full file in memory before uploading. For very large files (>100MB), streaming multipart upload should be considered in a future PR to reduce memory pressure. Updated docs to reflect both changes.

Filestore now supports all platforms — Discord, Slack, and all Gateway adapters (Telegram, Feishu, Google Chat, WeCom, LINE). Changes: - gateway.rs: add filestore field to GatewayEventContext, add 512KB inline limit check for text_file handling (previously inlined all sizes), upload large files to filestore when configured - gateway.rs: run_gateway_adapter accepts filestore parameter - media.rs: expose upload_bytes_to_filestore_public for gateway use - main.rs: pass filestore to both gateway paths (WebSocket and unified) - docs/filestore.md: update platform scope note Previously Gateway text files were always inlined regardless of size. Now files >512KB follow the same filestore path as Discord/Slack.

⚠️ OUTDATED — superseded by final review below.

When [filestore] is configured, Gateway adapters now download ALL file types (PDF, ZIP, binary, etc.) instead of rejecting them with "unsupported format" status. This allows gateway.rs to upload them to S3/R2 via the filestore, making previously-dropped files accessible to agents across all Gateway platforms. Implementation: add store_all_files flag to AppState, set true when filestore is configured in main.rs, pass to each adapter download function to bypass the text-extension-only check. Affected adapters: - Telegram: download_telegram_document - Feishu: download_feishu_file - Google Chat: download_googlechat_file - WeCom: download_wecom_file - LINE: build_gateway_event_from_line_event + download_line_external_content When store_all_files is false (no filestore), behavior is unchanged — unsupported formats are still rejected as before. Closes #1349

⚠️ OUTDATED — superseded by final review below.

- Title: "File Attachments" (not just "large text") - Problem section: mentions all file types and all 7 platforms - Platform scope: notes Gateway downloads all types when configured - Behavior table: shows PDF/ZIP/binary rows - Platform-Specific Behavior: updated with file type coverage - PR title/desc also updated via API

Two compile errors caught by CI: 1. filestore.rs:286 — buffer moved by ByteStream::from(buffer) then used again at line 351. Fix: drain buffer into new Vec instead of moving. 2. openab-gateway/lib.rs:433 — AppState construction in serve() was missing the new store_all_files field. Added with default false.

filestore was moved into the Slack async move block, then borrowed again for the gateway spawn. Fix: clone before the Slack spawn.

Clippy -D warnings rejects buffer.drain(..).collect() as it is equivalent to std::mem::take(&mut buffer) which is clearer and avoids an unnecessary allocation.

Summary

[filestore] — S3/R2-compatible object store with streaming multipart upload for file attachments. Eliminates silent drops for large text files and unsupported formats.

Scope (honest):

Discord / Slack: All file types — text > 512KB, PDF, ZIP, binary uploaded via streaming multipart (~16 MB memory)
Gateway (Telegram, Feishu, Google Chat, WeCom, LINE): Text files delivered by existing adapter pipelines uploaded to filestore. Extension whitelist bypassed when configured. Binary/generic-file support limited by pre-existing adapter validation (UTF-8 checks, platform size limits) — tracked in follow-up feat(gateway): direct S3/R2 upload when [filestore] is configured — skip local inbound store #1349.

Key Stats

Aspect	Value
Memory (streaming)	~16 MB per upload
Max file size	250 MB default, 500 MB configurable
Presigned TTL	1h default, 7 days max

…/GChat Reverts the gateway store_all_files feature added in 4451ee4 and 7c197cf. Problems identified in final review: 1. Feishu/GChat: store_all_files bypasses extension check but small binary files (≤512KB) get inlined as from_utf8_lossy garbage in agent prompt — this is a regression (previously extension check would reject them) 2. LINE: download_line_external_content fetches attacker-supplied URLs with no size cap and no URL validation — SSRF and OOM vector 3. Telegram/WeCom: store_all_files bypasses extension check but UTF-8 validation still rejects binary — wasted bandwidth, zero benefit Gateway adapters retain their original behavior (text-only with extension whitelist). The filestore text > 512KB upload path in gateway.rs remains (it does not depend on store_all_files). Full gateway binary support will be done properly in follow-up #1349 with: - New attachment_type: "file" in gateway schema - UTF-8 bypass for binary files - Proper size limits - URL validation for LINE external content

When the filestore feature is compiled (default) but [filestore] config is not set, large text files (>512KB) were silently dropped because the `if let Some(ref fs) = filestore` check would not match and nothing would happen. Fix: fall back to original inline behavior (from_utf8_lossy) when filestore is None. This preserves backward compatibility — users who do not configure [filestore] see no behavior change. Also fixes stale docs referencing the reverted store_all_files feature.

If upload_bytes_to_filestore_public returns None (size cap exceeded or other error), fall back to inline instead of silently dropping the file. The bytes are already in memory so inline is cheap and preserves the original behavior.

When filestore upload returns None (size cap exceeded), emit a degraded hint instead of inlining the entire oversized file into the prompt. Previously the fallback would inline 250MB+ into the prompt, which is worse than dropping. Now the agent sees: "[File: X] This file exceeds the configured upload limit and could not be stored."

Summary

[filestore] — S3/R2-compatible object store with streaming multipart upload for file attachments.

Scope:

Discord / Slack: All file types (text > 512KB, PDF, ZIP, binary) uploaded via streaming multipart (~16 MB memory)
Gateway: Large text files (>512KB) uploaded when filestore configured; falls back to inline when not configured (preserves original behavior)

Backward compatibility: No behavior change without [filestore] config section.

Key Design

Aspect	Value
Upload method	S3 multipart (16 MB chunks)
Memory	~16 MB (streaming path)
Max file size	250 MB default, 500 MB max
Presigned TTL	1h default, 7 days max
Backends	AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO
Platforms	Discord + Slack (all files), Gateway (text files)

Regression Protection

All paths handle missing/unconfigured filestore gracefully:

Filestore configured + upload succeeds → presigned URL hint ✅
Filestore configured + upload error → degraded hint (agent knows file exists) ✅
Filestore configured + size cap exceeded → degraded hint ✅
Filestore not configured → original inline behavior preserved ✅
Feature not compiled → original inline behavior preserved ✅

…hitespace + drop unintended Cargo.lock reconcile Two mechanical cleanups from round-10 review; no functional change to the NetworkPolicy work. F2 (whitespace): `git diff --check` flagged a trailing blank line at `charts/openab/tests/networkpolicy_test.yaml:355` — left over from the `f0dce74` scope-reduction edit that truncated the file after removing the gateway.env/envFrom test cases. Removed. F1-secondary (Cargo.lock reconcile): the one-line `+bytes` addition to the `openab-core` package dep list in `Cargo.lock` was an unintended side-effect of running `cargo check` during the round-8 revert cycle. It's a real drift on `upstream/main` (PR openabdev#1348 added `bytes = "1"` to `crates/openab-core/Cargo.toml` but never updated the lockfile), but reconciling it is out of scope for this PR. Restored the file to `upstream/main` state; `git diff upstream/main -- Cargo.lock` is now empty. Anyone running `cargo check` locally will regenerate the entry; that's an upstream housekeeping issue to file separately. F1-primary (PR body) is addressed by updating the PR description (not a commit) to reflect the current 8-file diff.
