Host key generation permission #40

Description

@ncouture

📋 Security Analysis Summary

This Pull Request successfully addresses a critical race condition in the PromptingCommand and ArgumentValidatingCommand classes by ensuring each call returns a new instance. The addition of comprehensive tests for HyLang DSL and mock examples significantly strengthens the stability and security of the MockSSH server.

🔍 General Feedback

  • Positive Highlight: The use of copy.copy(self) in the __call__ methods is a robust solution to prevent state leakage between concurrent SSH sessions. This is a vital security and reliability improvement.
  • Positive Highlight: Excellent enhancement of test coverage, particularly for edge cases and interactive commands.
  • Recurring Pattern: While out of scope for this PR, it is noted that the core library uses print() for logging, which may leak PII in production-like environments. A future refactor to structured logging with sanitization is recommended.
  • Recurring Pattern: Similarly, host key generation could benefit from more restrictive file permissions (e.g., 0600) by default.
