# Turnstile CSP Debugger Agent

## Purpose

This agent validates Content Security Policy (CSP) headers for Cloudflare Turnstile compatibility. It analyzes existing CSP configurations, identifies missing directives, and provides specific fixes to resolve CSP-related widget failures (Error 200500).

## When to Invoke

Use this agent when:
- **Error 200500**: CSP blocking Turnstile iframe or scripts
- **CSP validation**: User wants to verify CSP is Turnstile-compatible
- **Pre-deployment**: Checking CSP configuration before launch
- **Widget not loading**: Suspect CSP blocking resources
- **Policy updates**: After changing CSP headers

## Required CSP Directives

Turnstile requires these Content Security Policy directives:

```http
Content-Security-Policy:
  script-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  connect-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  style-src 'unsafe-inline';
```

**Critical**: All three domains (`script-src`, `frame-src`, `connect-src`) are mandatory. Missing any will cause widget failure.

## Diagnostic Workflow

### Step 1: Run CSP Validation Script

Execute the check-csp.sh script to validate domain's CSP:

```bash
./scripts/check-csp.sh https://user-domain.com
```

**Expected Output** (success):
```
✅ script-src includes challenges.cloudflare.com
✅ frame-src includes challenges.cloudflare.com
✅ connect-src includes challenges.cloudflare.com
✅ style-src allows unsafe-inline or includes challenges.cloudflare.com

CSP is properly configured for Turnstile
```

**Error Output** (missing directives):
```
❌ script-src missing challenges.cloudflare.com
❌ frame-src missing challenges.cloudflare.com
✅ connect-src includes challenges.cloudflare.com
❌ style-src too restrictive

CSP configuration incomplete - Turnstile will fail to load
```

### Step 2: Analyze Current CSP Configuration

Ask user for their current CSP implementation method:

**Method 1: HTTP Header** (Server configuration)
```nginx
# Nginx
add_header Content-Security-Policy "script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;";
```

**Method 2: Meta Tag** (HTML)
```html
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;">
```

**Method 3: Cloudflare Workers** (Workers configuration)
```typescript
response.headers.set('Content-Security-Policy',
  "script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; " +
  "frame-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; " +
  "connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;"
)
```

### Step 3: Identify Missing Directives

Parse the CSP output and identify which directives are missing:

**Missing `script-src`**:
- **Symptom**: Turnstile api.js fails to load
- **Console Error**: "Refused to load script from 'https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: ..."
- **Fix**: Add `https://challenges.cloudflare.com` to `script-src` directive

**Missing `frame-src`**:
- **Symptom**: Turnstile widget iframe blocked
- **Console Error**: "Refused to frame 'https://challenges.cloudflare.com' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: ..."
- **Fix**: Add `https://challenges.cloudflare.com` to `frame-src` directive

**Missing `connect-src`**:
- **Symptom**: Turnstile API calls blocked
- **Console Error**: "Refused to connect to 'https://challenges.cloudflare.com' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: ..."
- **Fix**: Add `https://challenges.cloudflare.com` to `connect-src` directive

**Restrictive `style-src`**:
- **Symptom**: Widget styles not applied
- **Fix**: Add `'unsafe-inline'` to `style-src` OR add `https://challenges.cloudflare.com`

### Step 4: Generate Fixed CSP Configuration

Based on missing directives, generate complete CSP configuration:

#### Minimal CSP (Turnstile only)
```http
Content-Security-Policy:
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  style-src 'unsafe-inline';
```

#### Production CSP (with common services)
```http
Content-Security-Policy:
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com https://cdn.example.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com https://api.example.com;
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  img-src 'self' data: https:;
  font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com;
```

#### Next.js CSP (with nonce)
```typescript
// next.config.js
const ContentSecurityPolicy = `
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
`
```

### Step 5: Implementation Guidance

Provide step-by-step implementation for user's platform:

#### Cloudflare Workers
```typescript
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const response = await handleRequest(request, env)

    // Add Turnstile-compatible CSP
    response.headers.set('Content-Security-Policy',
      "default-src 'self'; " +
      "script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; " +
      "frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com; " +
      "connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; " +
      "style-src 'unsafe-inline';"
    )

    return response
  }
}
```

#### Cloudflare Pages (_headers file)
```
/*
  Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com; connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; style-src 'unsafe-inline';
```

#### Nginx
```nginx
server {
    add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com; connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; style-src 'unsafe-inline';" always;
}
```

#### Apache (.htaccess)
```apache
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com; connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; style-src 'unsafe-inline';"
```

#### HTML Meta Tag (fallback)
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com; connect-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com; style-src 'unsafe-inline';">
  <!-- Must be in <head> before other scripts -->
</head>
```

**⚠️ Important**: Meta tag CSP must be placed before any `<script>` tags in `<head>`.

## Common CSP Patterns

### Pattern 1: Strict CSP with Nonce
```http
Content-Security-Policy:
  script-src 'nonce-{random}' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
```

**Implementation**:
```html
<script nonce="{random}" src="/app.js"></script>
<!-- Turnstile script loads without nonce (whitelisted by domain) -->
<script src="https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js"></script>
```

### Pattern 2: CSP with Report-Only (testing)
```http
Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only:
  script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  report-uri /csp-report;
```

Use Report-Only mode to test CSP without blocking resources.

### Pattern 3: Multiple CSP Headers (merge)
```http
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';
Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
```

**⚠️ Warning**: Multiple CSP headers combine with AND logic. Ensure compatibility.

## Validation Checklist

After implementing CSP fixes, verify:

- [ ] `./scripts/check-csp.sh https://domain.com` passes all checks
- [ ] Browser console shows no CSP violation errors
- [ ] Turnstile widget loads and renders
- [ ] Widget iframe is visible in DOM
- [ ] Challenge completes successfully
- [ ] Siteverify validation succeeds

## Troubleshooting CSP Issues

### Issue: Script still blocked after adding script-src
**Cause**: Multiple CSP headers combining restrictively
**Solution**: Consolidate into single CSP header with all directives

### Issue: Widget loads but styles broken
**Cause**: `style-src` too restrictive
**Solution**: Add `'unsafe-inline'` to `style-src` or whitelist `https://challenges.cloudflare.com`

### Issue: CSP works locally but fails in production
**Cause**: Different CSP configuration in production environment
**Solution**: Verify production server/CDN CSP settings match development

### Issue: Meta tag CSP not working
**Cause**: HTTP header CSP overriding meta tag
**Solution**: Remove meta tag and use HTTP header CSP instead (preferred)

### Issue: Cloudflare Workers CSP not applying
**Cause**: Response headers set after response created
**Solution**: Clone response and set headers on cloned response:
```typescript
const response = await fetch(request)
const newResponse = new Response(response.body, response)
newResponse.headers.set('Content-Security-Policy', '...')
return newResponse
```

## Advanced: CSP Reporting

Enable CSP reporting to monitor violations:

```http
Content-Security-Policy:
  script-src 'self' https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  frame-src https://challenges.cloudflare.com;
  report-uri /csp-report;
  report-to csp-endpoint;
```

**Endpoint handler** (Cloudflare Workers):
```typescript
async function handleCSPReport(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
  const report = await request.json()
  console.error('CSP Violation:', report)

  // Log to analytics, monitoring, etc.

  return new Response('Report received', { status: 204 })
}
```

## Security Considerations

**Best Practices**:
- ✅ Use `default-src 'self'` as baseline
- ✅ Whitelist only necessary domains
- ✅ Prefer HTTP header over meta tag
- ✅ Use nonces for inline scripts (when possible)
- ✅ Test with Report-Only mode first
- ✅ Monitor CSP violation reports

**Avoid**:
- ❌ `'unsafe-eval'` (security risk)
- ❌ `'unsafe-inline'` for scripts (use for styles only)
- ❌ Overly permissive wildcards (`https://*`)
- ❌ Mixing HTTP header and meta tag CSP
- ❌ Copying CSP without understanding directives
