Conversation
Core.trustedKeys was an unsynchronized map that is written at runtime by DangerousAddTrustedPublicKey (registered as a Configuration UpdateListener, so it fires on the request path on every scheme update) and read concurrently by the Generate* request handlers. Concurrent read+write on a built-in map is a fatal "concurrent map read and map write" panic that crashes the keyshare server. Add a sync.RWMutex (mirroring the sibling commitmentMutex/authChallengesMutex): take the write lock in DangerousAddTrustedPublicKey and a read lock in GeneratePs, GenerateCommitments, GenerateResponse and GenerateResponseV2. GenerateResponseV2 now snapshots the trusted keys under the read lock before handing them to gabi.KeyshareResponse, so the callee never touches the live map. Add a -race regression test (TestTrustedKeysConcurrentAccess) that hammers the readers concurrently with the writer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Verdict: APPROVE. Posted as a COMMENT only because GitHub blocks a bot from approving its own PR — treat this as a clean sign-off, not withholding.
✅ Race fix on Core.trustedKeys is correct and complete; no blocking issues.
Rule compliance: clean across all checked rules (PR-hygiene, draft/test handling, irmago repo-specific Go rules). Conventional commit title, regression test added for a fix, no ST1005 error-string issues, PR body matches the diff.
Code review: the sync.RWMutex mirrors the existing commitmentMutex/authChallengesMutex pattern. Write-lock in DangerousAddTrustedPublicKey; read-locks in all four readers with RUnlock on every path (including the in-loop ErrKeyNotFound early returns in GeneratePs/GenerateCommitments). GenerateResponseV2 snapshots the map under the read lock and passes the copy to gabi.KeyshareResponse, so the live map is never read concurrently. No lock is held across verifyAccess or proof crypto. The new -race test was verified to fail with DATA RACE on revert and pass with the fix.
Deferral of keyshare/sessiontest suites to CI (docker-backed services) is correctly noted in the PR body.

Hey Ruben, I'm on it — digging into the CI failures on #595 now and I'll push fixes to this PR as I sort them out. |
Resolve the two failing CI lanes on this PR: - lint: apply the `go fix` modernizers on the files this PR touched (maps.Copy for the trustedKeys snapshot in operations.go, and sync.WaitGroup.Go / for-range loops in the new race test), so `go fix -diff ./...` is clean. - changelog: add the Fixed entry under Unreleased for the RWMutex guard.

VERDICT: approve
✅ Rules Dobby 2 sign-off — clean, no blocking issues. Posted as a COMMENT because GitHub blocks a bot from formally approving its own PR; treat this as a full sign-off.
CI blocks resolved. The last commit (apply go modernizers and add changelog entry) fixed what was red: the changelog check now passes (Unreleased entry added) and lint/build/analyze/CodeQL/integration are all green. Only the test job is still running.
Rule compliance: clean across all checked rules.
- Conventional-commit title with a valid scope (
fix(keysharecore): …). - PR body links the issue with
Closes #594on its own line — auto-closes on merge. - Regression test committed for the fix (
TestTrustedKeysConcurrentAccess,-race). - No Go struct/pointer equality traps; CHANGELOG prose is plain and honest.
Code review: the sync.RWMutex mirrors the existing commitmentMutex/authChallengesMutex pattern. Write-lock in DangerousAddTrustedPublicKey; read-locks in all four readers with RUnlock on every path (including the in-loop ErrKeyNotFound early returns). GenerateResponseV2 snapshots the map under the read lock via maps.Copy and passes the copy to gabi.KeyshareResponse, so the live map is never read concurrently. No lock is held across verifyAccess or proof crypto.
Nothing to fix.

Done — CI blocks are cleared on #595. The last commit added the missing CHANGELOG entry and applied the go modernizer fixes, so While I was at it I also ran a full code review of the |
Summary
Fixes the data race on the unsynchronized
Core.trustedKeysmap reported in #594.trustedKeyswas the only one of the three maps on theCorestruct without a mutex, yet it is written at runtime byDangerousAddTrustedPublicKey(registered as aConfigurationUpdateListener, so it fires on the request path on every scheme update) and read concurrently by theGenerate*request handlers. A concurrent read+write on a built-in Go map is a fatalconcurrent map read and map writepanic that crashes the whole keyshare server.Closes #594
