lfx-self-serve copilot-instructions.md

Repository instructions for reviewing pull requests in LFX One, an Angular server-rendered application with an Express.js backend-for-frontend. They define the general review process and when to apply code and security checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when reviewing any code change in the repository, especially changes involving auth, sessions, tokens, server routes, upstream requests, personal data, logging, URLs, or HTML rendering.
Why use it?
They give reviewers a consistent method for finding correctness, design, and security problems, including risks involving authentication, personal data, redirects, and browser rendering.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lfx-self-serve copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

lfx-self-serve — Copilot code review

This repo guides Copilot code review on its pull requests.

Code review

When the task is to review a change for correctness, design, and security, the review method for this repo lives in .github/skills/:

  • copilot-code-reviewer — the entry point: reviewer scope, signal bar, and how to decide what is worth a comment. Governing when reviewing this repo.
  • self-serve-code-review — the line-level implementation lens. Applies to every PR that changes code, however small.
  • self-serve-security-review — the security lens. Applies whenever the diff touches auth, sessions or tokens, a server controller or service, an upstream proxy call, the public surface, identity or persona authorization, PII or logging, URLs or redirects, [innerHTML], or the SSR-to-client boundary.

Each of these stands on its own and says in its own description when it applies; read the ones that apply to the diff in front of you and follow them: together they are this repo's review method.

Shared context

This repo is LFX One, the user-facing tier of LFX V2: an Angular 20 SSR application (apps/lfx-one/src/app/) and the Express.js BFF that serves it (apps/lfx-one/src/server/), with shared types, constants, enums, and validators in packages/shared/ (@lfx-one/shared). The BFF is a thin proxy: it holds the user's OIDC session, resolves persona and impersonation context server-side, and forwards most business requests to the V2 microservice mesh with the user's bearer token, mirroring upstream request/response shapes rather than defining its own contracts (some flows instead use direct NATS request/reply or Snowflake analytics). Authentication is selective — a small public surface (the /meetings/ pages, /public/api, /docs, health, and a few utility routes like /invite/error, /auth-error, /sitemap.xml, /robots.txt) is reachable without a session; everything else that reaches the auth middleware requires one. The route table in apps/lfx-one/src/server/middleware/auth.middleware.ts is authoritative for those routes, while the OIDC login/logout/callback routes mount in server.ts ahead of it. The app renders under SSR and then hydrates, so browser-only code must be guarded and no server-only secret may cross into the client bundle.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
