Alexander Petric 4cb89d0b8d address review (rubenfiszel): gate on token lifetime, mint only from job_perms row
Security: on the agent-worker path the completion payload's owner fields
(permissioned_as/email) are attacker-supplied, and create_token_for_owner(perms:
None) falls back to fetch_authed_from_permissioned_as — letting a completion mint
a token for an arbitrary identity. Instead fetch the server-written job_perms row
and pass Some(perms); when the row is absent (e.g. zombie replay after the queue
row was reaped) keep the step token rather than trusting the payload.

Gating: refresh based on the token's actual remaining lifetime (DB-free
decode_without_verify) instead of step duration. This confines the extra
get_job_perms lookup to near-expiry completions and also covers completions with
no recorded duration (Noop/cache), which the duration guard missed.

Add job_token_remaining_lifetime_secs + JOB_TOKEN_REFRESH_MARGIN_SECS (must
exceed the 60s JWT leeway) in windmill-common::auth, with unit tests pinning the
margin-vs-leeway invariant and the near-expiry detection.

Windmill Backend

This folder holds all backend components, the src/ folder only contains files used to build the "root" binary.

Components

name description
windmill-api The API server, exposing functionality to other components and the frontend
windmill-audit Contains audit functionality, allowing different components to record important actions
windmill-common Common code shared by all crates
windmill-queue Contains job & flow queuing functionality, commonly written to by the API server and read from by workers
windmill-worker The worker. Used to process and execute flows & jobs.
parsers Contains code to parse signatures in different langauges.
