Is the action.user actually being stored in the database? It seems that the pushes.db file only contains the Push data, unless I'm missing something... 🤔

Just bringing attention to this - we might want to clear this up/complete any missing implementation bits before submitting the upstream PR 🙂

It seems these debug commands aren't working...

Might be nice to allow setting the TTL as minutes instead of hours for granularity? There might be some use cases for shorter periods, for example if running the approval flow through some CI that only needs access for the current run (probably under 60 minutes).
This pull request introduces a comprehensive SSH key retention feature for Git Proxy, enabling secure storage and reuse of user SSH keys during the approval process. This eliminates the need for re-authentication after push approval, while maintaining robust security measures such as encryption, expiration, and cleanup. The changes span documentation updates, new components, database schema modifications, and enhancements to existing processing flows.
Documentation and Architecture Updates:
docs/SSH_KEY_RETENTION.md: Added detailed documentation covering the problem statement, solution architecture, security features, implementation details, configuration, and future enhancements for the SSH key retention feature.Core Feature Implementation:
src/security/SSHAgent.ts: Introduced theSSHAgentclass to securely manage SSH keys in memory, with features such as automatic expiration, secure cleanup, and signing capabilities.src/proxy/processors/push-action/captureSSHKey.ts: Added a processor to capture and store SSH key information during push processing when approval is required.Database and Action Enhancements:
src/db/types.ts: Extended thePushtype to include fields for encrypted SSH keys, expiration timestamps, and protocol information.src/proxy/actions/Action.ts: Updated theActionclass to support SSH user information, including public key details and protocol-specific data.Processing Flow Updates:
src/proxy/chain.ts: Integrated the newcaptureSSHKeyprocessor into the push action chain to ensure SSH key capture before processing.src/proxy/processors/pre-processor/parseAction.ts: Enhanced the pre-processor to set protocol and SSH user information for SSH-based pushes.
