PHP API Production Readiness Roadmap

This roadmap tracks all improvements needed to bring core/php-api to production-ready status. All items were auto-discovered via comprehensive codebase scan on 2026-02-20.

🔴 High Priority - Security & Critical Testing

Security Testing

#3 - test: add tests for IpRestrictionService (IP whitelist security)
#5 - test: add tests for WebhookSecretRotationService (secret rotation)
#8 - test: add tests for PublicApiCors middleware (CORS security)

Critical Missing Tests

#4 - test: add tests for ApiSnippetService
#7 - test: add tests for TrackApiUsage middleware
#12 - test: add tests for console commands (cleanup, alerts)

🟡 Medium Priority - Feature Completion & Testing

Missing Test Coverage

#6 - test: add tests for OpenAPI documentation extensions
#9 - test: add tests for WebhookPayloadTemplate model
#10 - test: add tests for API resource transformers
#11 - test: add tests for WebhookTemplateController

Code Quality - Refactoring

#13 - refactor: extract workspace validation to middleware
#14 - refactor: deduplicate webhook lookup pattern
#15 - fix: implement readResourceViaArtisan in McpApiController (stub)
#16 - refactor: wrap proc_open in dedicated service class

🟢 Low Priority - Polish & Documentation

Documentation

#17 - docs: add comprehensive @param and @return annotations
#18 - refactor: extract magic numbers to named constants

Infrastructure

#19 - chore: audit and update composer.json (needs review)

📊 Summary Statistics

Total Issues Created: 17

Tests: 10 issues
Refactoring: 4 issues
Documentation: 2 issues
Infrastructure: 1 issue

Security-Sensitive: 3 issues (#3, #5, #8)
Needs Human Review: 2 issues (#5, #19)

✅ Already Production-Ready

Excellent Security Practices Found

✓ API Key Hashing - Bcrypt with legacy SHA-256 support
✓ Webhook Signatures - HMAC-SHA256 with timing-safe comparison
✓ Rate Limiting - Sophisticated sliding window with burst allowance
✓ SQL Injection Protection - All queries use Eloquent ORM parameterization
✓ XSS Protection - Proper output escaping
✓ Mass Assignment Protection - All models define $fillable arrays
✓ Secure Randomness - Uses Str::random() / random_bytes()
✓ Input Validation - Comprehensive request validation

Strong Test Coverage (11 existing test files)

✓ API Key Security (rotation, hashing, IP whitelisting)
✓ Webhook Delivery (signatures, retries, exponential backoff)
✓ Rate Limiting (tier-based, headers, quotas)
✓ Scope Enforcement (wildcards, inheritance)
✓ OpenAPI Documentation (schema generation, attributes)

🎯 Recommended Implementation Order

Phase 1: Security (Week 1)

Complete #3 (IP restriction tests)
Complete #8 (CORS tests)
Complete #5 (webhook secret rotation tests)

Phase 2: Core Functionality (Week 2)

Fix #15 (implement MCP resource reading)
Complete #12 (console command tests)
Complete #7 (usage tracking tests)

Phase 3: API Surface (Week 3)

Complete #10 (resource transformer tests)
Complete #11 (webhook template controller tests)
Complete #4 (snippet service tests)

Phase 4: Polish (Week 4)

Refactor #13 & #14 (reduce duplication)
Improve documentation #17
Extract constants #18

Phase 5: Review & Deploy

Address #19 (composer audit - needs discussion)
Complete remaining items (#6, #9, #16)
Final security audit
Production deployment

📝 Notes

No critical bugs found - All issues are improvements
No SQL injection vulnerabilities - Excellent ORM usage
No insecure randomness - Proper crypto throughout
PSR-12 compliant - All files use strict_types
Well-architected - Event-driven boot, clean separation of concerns

This is a mature, well-built API package that needs test coverage and minor polish, not major architectural changes.
