ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-366/return-421-x-site-id-mismatch-from-ghosts-site-id-middleware

core/app.js defined this handler inline, so the only way to assert its behaviour was a full startGhost() boot. PLA-366 changes its response contract and that contract deserves cheap direct coverage, so move it in alongside the other shared middleware, convert it and its test to TypeScript, and take the expected site id as an argument instead of reading config internally.

Behaviour is unchanged. The maintenance handler stays in core/app.js — it is not what PLA-366 touches, and moving it would mean dealing with the untyped url service for no gain right now.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change moves site ID validation into a shared middleware factory. The middleware compares the x-site-id header with the configured value, continues matching requests, and returns a no-cache HTTP 500 response for mismatches. The shared middleware index exposes the factory. rootApp registers the middleware when a site ID is configured. End-to-end tests update imports and typed numeric header values.

Suggested reviewers: 9larsons

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 81c8f

The new shared site-id middleware can incorrectly validate array or missing x-site-id headers because of implicit string coercion, potentially returning the wrong mismatch response. This is a bounded input-validation risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Type-Safe Boundaries ⚠️ Warning New site-id.ts consumes the HTTP x-site-id header by string interpolation and comparison without prior Zod or runtime validation. Validate x-site-id with a Zod schema before comparison. Reject undefined, arrays, and invalid values, then compare the parsed value with the expected site ID.

Linked Issues check ✅ Passed Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
New Files Are Typescript ✅ Passed The PR adds site-id.ts and renames the existing JavaScript test to .ts; its only .js changes are modifications to pre-existing files, so no new JS-family source file is added.

Reject non-string x-site-id values before comparison.

Template coercion accepts a single-element array and converts a missing header to "undefined". Use z.string().safeParse or an explicit string guard before comparing with String(expectedSiteId).

  • Boundary data (HTTP input, external API/SDK responses, env/config,

    validated — Zod by default.
  • Infer boundary types via z.infer/z.input; flag handwritten duplicates.
  • Flag any, unchecked as on boundary data, @ts-nocheck, and unexplained
    @ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error.
  • Validated data stays trusted: don't request Zod on internal calls, and flag
    redundant re-validation.
  • ghost/core golden path: schema.ts owns Zod schemas + inferred types, with
    codec/serializer modules at the edges (see core/server/services/gift-links).
  • Looser typing in tests is fine unless it hides a real defect.

unless exempt (DB migrations, apps/ember-admin/, tool/config files, scripts/,

Never request conversion of pre-existing JS files. If the PR substantially
reworks one (rewritten logic or significant new functions — not renames or
small fixes), you may leave ONE optional, non-blocking note for the whole PR
that those files are cheap TS-conversion candidates; skip minor changes and
exempt areas.
If the PR adds or changes a runtime boundary (parsing HTTP input, JSON, config,
external responses), suggest validating it — ideally with TS + Zod.
