Summary

  • An enclave policy that only allowlists destinations no longer authorizes a PSBT that pays a fee. The same holds for an Or where one branch does not bound the fee.
  • A new MaxFeeSats rule caps the fee directly. An existing MaxAmountSats rule still counts the fee as leaving the wallet when breaking that rule denies the spend or requires approval. Under Allow, a failed rule is skipped, so that amount cap does not bound the fee.
  • A message signature has no fee, so the new rule does not apply to it.

Test plan

  • Allowlist only, with a fee: denied
  • Allowlist plus MaxFeeSats: a small fee signs, a large fee is denied
  • Or of an allowlist and MaxAmountSats, with a fee: denied
  • MaxAmountSats under Allow, followed by an allowlist under Deny, with a fee: denied
  • Existing amount-cap tests still pass

Walkthrough

The policy engine adds fee limits and fee-bound detection. The signing server supplies PSBT fees to policy evaluation and denies positive-fee transactions when their policies do not bound fees.

Changes

Fee policy enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fee rules and bound evaluation
keep-enclave/enclave/src/policy.rs
PolicyRule adds MaxFeeSats, and policy evaluation returns FeeExceeded when a present fee exceeds the limit. bounds_fee() identifies fee bounds, including the defined And and Or rules. Existing test contexts set fee_sats to None.
PSBT fee enforcement
keep-enclave/enclave/src/vsock_server.rs
Destination policy contexts include the PSBT fee. The server denies positive-fee transactions when bounds_fee() is false. Tests cover unbounded policies, fee caps, and an Or policy that does not bound fees.

Existing sealed policies can decode differently after this change, which can silently weaken or break key restrictions. The new fee cap also cannot be set from the host. Fee-bound detection can accept policies that do not actually bound fees. These issues should be fixed before merge.

A rabbit checks the fee in flight,
A cap keeps every sum in sight.
The policy weighs each satoshi,
And flags a fee that grows too lofty.
The signing path now checks the bound,
Then hops along on safer ground.

Review comments at @keep-enclave/enclave/src/policy.rs:
- Around line 110-111: Update bounds_fee to count fee bounds only from policies
whose action enforces their rules, excluding Allow policies whose failed amount
rules are converted to Allow; preserve the existing rule_bounds_fee check for
enforcing policies.
- Around line 160-161: Update PolicyRule::MaxFeeSats evaluation so a fee-cap
mismatch is treated as a branch-level failure that Or can continue past, rather
than immediately terminating policy evaluation. Preserve denial when no
authorized Or branch permits the fee.
- Line 26: Move MaxFeeSats to the end of the policy-rule enum so existing
variants retain their serialized indices; if policies with the reordered
variants have already been sealed, preserve a migration path for decoding them.
- Line 26: Add the MaxFeeSats(u64) variant to the host-side PolicyRule enum used
by PolicyConfig serialization in EnclaveRequest::SetPolicy, placing it at the
matching position in the enclave enum so wire discriminants remain aligned.
