[WARNING]$inputKeys is captured here at line 6145 but only consumed ~180 lines later inside the auth-failure branch. The capture is load-bearing — it must happen before the array_merge on line 6166, otherwise the post-merge $document includes every key from $old and the "caller sent only $updatedAt?" signal is lost — but there is no comment explaining this. A future refactor that reorders the merge would silently break the auth-tolerance branch.

Follow-up commit adds an inline comment at the capture site documenting the invariant.

$newUpdatedAt = $document->getUpdatedAt();

[CRITICAL](float)$value === (float)$oldValue short-circuits on numeric equality but continues without canonicalizing the merged document. A read-only caller submitting value => "5e2" (string) for a stored 500.0 matches via the float cast, the tolerance branch (or a subsequent legitimate update) then persists the string verbatim — the storage layer receives the attacker's type-coerced value.

Fixed in the follow-up commit by (a) tightening the predicate (is_float($oldValue), is_finite((float)$value)) so non-canonical encodings like "INF" are rejected, and (b) rewriting $document[$key] = $oldValue before continue so any later write under the same call uses the stored canonical value.

[WARNING] Correctness finding C2 — $updatedAtChanged could spuriously trip (FIXED in 46b2ec48).

The diff loop iterates the merged document, which always carries $old's $updatedAt. ArrayObject normalization through new Document(array_merge(...)) can shift the type (string vs \DateTime), so a bare !== would flag the field as changed on inputs that never supplied it. That false positive would then unlock the entire $onlyUpdatedAtChanged branch (including the tolerance path) on inputs the caller never meant to touch.

Fix: gate detection on \array_key_exists('$updatedAt', $rawInput). The branch now only fires when the caller actually submitted $updatedAt.

$updatedAtChanged = true;

[WARNING] Security finding S4 — is_numeric was too permissive for float tolerance (FIXED in 46b2ec48).

The documented contract is "int↔float drift only (JSON round-trip dropping trailing zeros)". \is_numeric accepts " 5", "5e0", "+5", and ".5" — none of which a real round-trip drift would produce. A read-only caller could supply a numeric-looking string and have the diff loop silently skip it.

Fix: tighten to (\is_int($value) || \is_float($value)) && (\is_int($oldValue) || \is_float($oldValue)). Now only true scalar-type drift between int and float is tolerated.

$floatAttributes = [];

[CRITICAL] Correctness finding C1 — float-noop fell through to a wasted adapter write (FIXED in 46b2ec48).

When the diff loop short-circuited on int↔float drift (e.g. 5 vs 5.0), $shouldUpdate stayed false, $updatedAtChanged stayed false, so $onlyUpdatedAtChanged was false, $skipAdapterUpdate was never set, and control fell through to $this->adapter->updateDocument(...). That was a wasted write on every adapter and a potential type-corruption risk on adapters with non-trivial castingBefore.

Fix: in the READ-only else branch, if there are no real diffs AND no $updatedAt diff AND no permissions diff, treat it as a full no-op ($skipAdapterUpdate = true, $document = $old). Read-only callers reaching this short-circuit also get $silentNoop = true so they fire EVENT_DOCUMENT_READ instead of EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE — same security argument as the tolerance branch.

[CRITICAL] This gate is trivially bypassable — $inputKeys !== ['$updatedAt'] evaluates true for any payload with an extra key ($id, $collection, etc.), so an SDK convenience like new Document(['$id' => 'x', '$updatedAt' => $stale]) satisfies the check and a read-only caller exits the auth path. The documented invariant ("an explicit updatedAt-only write still requires update permission") is not actually enforced.

Fixed in the follow-up commit by introducing hasNonSystemInputKey($inputKeys) which strips every key in INTERNAL_ATTRIBUTES. Payloads composed entirely of system metadata now still require update permission.

[CRITICAL] Security: \DateTime($updatedAt) in the try block (line 6332) parses "now", "yesterday", "+1 year", "@0", "5e0" without throwing. An attacker who knows neither the real $updatedAt nor any prior doc state can engage tolerance just by submitting a relative time expression. The try/catch only filters truly garbage strings — \DateTime's parser is too permissive to serve as a stale-cache value check. Replaced with a strict ISO-shape regex covering both formatDb (Y-m-d H:i:s.v) and formatTz (Y-m-d\TH:i:s.vP); existing "not-a-date" test still passes, added testRelativeTimestampStringStillRequiresUpdatePermission to lock in the "now" rejection.

[CORRECTNESS]instanceof \DateTime excludes \DateTimeImmutable, the standard modern-PHP date type. Widened to \DateTimeInterface in 94f0e5c0. (In practice, Document::getUpdatedAt(): ?string already gates non-string values further upstream, but the wider check is the right contract.)

[SECURITY-SUGGESTION]$updatedAt instanceof \DateTime is a blanket short-circuit: any DateTime instance (including new \DateTime('now'), '@0', far-future, etc.) passes regardless of value. Not exploitable today since the value is never parsed on the tolerance path, but it weakens the "strict ISO shape" contract the comment promises and would break the gate if it were reused on a write path. Consider format-then-regex-checking DateTime instances too, so all branches enforce the same shape.


// Strict ISO-shape check: \DateTime() accepts "now", "yesterday",
// "+1 year", "@0" etc. — none of which a real cached timestamp
// would carry. Constrain to formatDb ("Y-m-d H:i:s.v") and
// formatTz ("Y-m-d\TH:i:s.vP") prefixes so the tolerance branch
// can't be triggered by relative or symbolic time expressions.

$updatedAtIsValid = \preg_match('/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}[T ]\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/', $updatedAt) === 1;

[MAINT-SUGGESTION] The ISO-shape regex duplicates DateTime::$formatDb ('Y-m-d H:i:s.v') and $formatTz ('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.vP') declared at src/Database/DateTime.php:9-10. Consider a public DateTime::isStrictDbOrTzString(string): bool that round-trips both formats via createFromFormat — eliminates drift if the formats ever change, and rejects malformed-but-shaped strings (2024-13-40T99:99:99) that pass the prefix regex today. Not load-bearing on the current code path (the value isn't parsed), but reduces future surface area.

[WARNING] Security/maintainability findings S3 + M3 — ISO regex accepted garbage (FIXED in 46b2ec48 + 59a4160b).

The regex /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}[T ]\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/ was unanchored and accepted 9999-99-99T99:99:99, 0000-00-00 00:00:00<long junk tail>, etc. It also duplicated the canonical format strings that already live as DateTime::$formatDb and DateTime::$formatTz — silent breakage if those ever change.

Fix: extracted DateTime::isShapedLikeStored(string): bool (commit 59a4160b) which defers to \DateTime::createFromFormat against the two canonical formats. Single source of truth, and impossible dates are now actually rejected.

P1securityRead-only caller can fire EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE via null $updatedAt resubmission

When !$inputIsBareUpdatedAt && is_null($updatedAt) is true, $skipAdapterUpdate is set but $silentNoop is never set to true. A caller with only READ permission passes the subsequent else-branch auth check (PERMISSION_READ), the transaction returns $old with $isNoop = true, and then — because $silentNoop remains false — EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE fires at line 6503. This allows a read-only caller to inject spurious audit-log entries and probe document existence through event listeners, exactly the risk the $silentNoop flag was introduced to prevent on the $canTolerateStaleCache path. The test testNonBareNullUpdatedAtIsSilentNoopForReadOnlyCaller documents "no audit event" as the intended contract but never asserts $eventHits === 0, so the gap goes undetected.

To close it: after $skipAdapterUpdate = true, check whether the caller holds UPDATE permission and set $silentNoop = true when they don't (mirroring the $canTolerateStaleCache block at line 6396–6408).

[CORRECTNESS] When this tolerance branch fires, the caller's $updatedAt diverged from storage — a strong signal that a stale cache entry is the root cause. Without purging, the same stale entry will trigger the same tolerance branch on every subsequent update. Added purgeCachedDocument in 94f0e5c0 plus a regression test that asserts the next non-locking read returns the fresh storage value.

[CRITICAL] When the tolerance branch above flips $shouldUpdate to false, control falls through to this $adapter->updateDocument(...) call, then purgeCachedDocument(...), then EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE. The call is sold as a no-op but is not one at the storage layer — read-only callers can force exclusive row writes, evict arbitrary cache entries, and emit spoofed update events for documents they have no UPDATE permission on.

Fixed in the follow-up commit: the tolerance branch now return $olds from inside the transaction and a $tolerantNoop flag short-circuits the post-transaction relationship-population / decode / event-trigger pipeline.

// so don't emit EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE downstream. Firing

[CRITICAL — fixed] This no-op early return $old previously skipped the ConflictException check below at line 6438. A caller using withRequestTimestamp() to assert optimistic concurrency would silently succeed even when storage was concurrently modified past the request timestamp — pre-PR main ran the check on every call (since every call hit the adapter). Moved the ConflictException check above this short-circuit so the contract holds for both real updates and no-ops. Added testNoopStillEnforcesRequestTimestampConflict to lock this in.

// No-op: storage is unchanged, so re-running encode/structure-validation/
// casting against $old (which is already decoded + relationships-populated
// by getDocument) would re-apply filters and corrupt the return shape.

[CRITICAL — Security/Correctness] Without this early-return, the no-op stale-cache path still fired EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE (line 6473) and ran encode() + Structure validation + relationship updates + castingBefore on $old. A read-only caller could therefore spam audit/webhook listeners with forged update events on any document they have READ access to, and any non-idempotent encode filter (e.g. encrypt/hash) would silently corrupt the returned document. Fixed: skip everything past the auth check on this path; cache is still purged so subsequent reads see the canonical row. $noopSkip is a reference flag so the trailing trigger() outside the transaction closure can be suppressed too.

[CRITICAL] Security finding S1 — silent-noop audit gap (FIXED in 46b2ec48).

The pre-fix path returned $old to a caller who had READ but not UPDATE with NO event fired, making the call invisible to audit listeners. A read-only caller could effectively read documents through updateDocument without leaving an audit trail (the regular getDocument would have fired EVENT_DOCUMENT_READ).

Fix: emit EVENT_DOCUMENT_READ on the silent-noop path (caller only had READ) and EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE on the legitimate-noop path (caller has UPDATE). This closes the existence-probe / audit-bypass channel while preserving the original semantic of "no UPDATE event for a caller without UPDATE perm".

if (!$silentNoop) {
$this->trigger(self::EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE, $document);
}
return $document;
}

[WARNING — security/observability] Suppressing EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE on the no-op path breaks the API contract (the caller did invoke updateDocument()) and silently de-trains audit listeners, change-stream consumers, and intrusion-detection counters that watch update events. A read-only caller could now hammer updateDocument with stale resubmits and produce zero observable signal. Fixed by emitting the event with the unchanged document in commit 87d80f5c; subscribers that care about 'did data actually change' can diff timestamps.


if (!$this->inBatchRelationshipPopulation && $this->resolveRelationships) {
$documents = $this->silent(fn () => $this->populateDocumentsRelationships([$document], $collection, $this->relationshipFetchDepth));
$document = $documents[0];

[WARNING] Maintainability finding M8 — e2e coverage gap (FIXED in 27cba2be).

Added testGetDocumentForUpdateBypassesCache to the DocumentTests trait: the headline forUpdate: true cache-bypass invariant now runs against every adapter. The unit tests use DatabaseMemory + CacheMemory which don't exercise real SELECT-FOR-UPDATE row-locking semantics, so this fills the regression gap on adapter upgrades.

$doc4->setAttribute('$createdAt', null);
$updatedDoc4 = $database->updateDocument($collection, 'doc4', document: $doc4);

// No content changed and dates were nulled, so the update is a no-op
// and both timestamps are preserved.
$this->assertEquals($originalCreatedAt4, $updatedDoc4->getAttribute('$createdAt'));
$this->assertNotEquals($originalUpdatedAt4, $updatedDoc4->getAttribute('$updatedAt'));
$this->assertEquals($originalUpdatedAt4, $updatedDoc4->getAttribute('$updatedAt'));

// Test 5: Update only updatedAt
$updatedDoc4->setAttribute('$updatedAt', $updateDate);
