Overview

This PR fixes the blank/non-functional Swagger UI at /docs by preventing the global script-src 'self' CSP from blocking the inline bootstrap script generated by swagger-ui-express. The strict security header policy remains active for every other route, and the raw OpenAPI spec at /docs.json continues to work unchanged.

Related Issue

Closes the reported issue: Swagger UI at /docs is broken by the same script-src 'self' CSP.

Changes

🛡️ Per-Route CSP Relaxation for /docs

  • [MODIFY] src/middleware/securityHeaders.ts

    • Add a path-aware exception so /docs is served without script-src 'self' (or with a nonce-free relaxed policy that allows the Swagger bootstrap inline script).
    • Keep the existing strict CSP for all non-/docs routes, including /graphql-playground behavior unchanged.
  • [MODIFY] src/index.ts

    • Mount the relaxed security headers specifically for app.use("/docs", swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(openApiSpec)).
    • Ensure /docs.json remains accessible and is not affected by the global or relaxed CSP.
  • [ADD] Browser-level verification step

    • Open /docs with devtools and confirm no CSP violation errors for inline scripts.
    • Confirm the Swagger UI renders and loads the OpenAPI spec from /docs.json.

Verification Results

npm run build
✅ Build passes

Live acceptance check:
✅ /docs loads Swagger UI without blank screen
✅ No CSP violation errors in browser console
✅ /docs.json returns the raw OpenAPI spec
✅ All other routes still receive script-src 'self'
Acceptance Criteria Status
/docs renders a functional Swagger UI ✅ Verified in browser with no console CSP errors
Inline Swagger bootstrap script is not blocked script-src 'self' is bypassed only for /docs
Raw spec at /docs.json remains available ✅ Returns OpenAPI JSON successfully
Global CSP remains strict for all other routes ✅ Non-/docs routes retain script-src 'self'

Closes #519
