Summary

  • Adds server-side ad slot templates under [creative_opportunities] in trusted-server.toml. Matching slots are selected from the incoming document URL at the edge, and window.tsjs.adSlots is injected at <head> open so initial GPT setup does not need a separate slot-discovery request.
  • Runs the server-side auction in parallel with the origin fetch for eligible document navigations. Configured providers such as Prebid Server and APS race under the creative-opportunity auction deadline; winning bids are price-bucketed and injected as window.tsjs.bids before </body>.
  • Adds the window.tsjs.adInit GPT runtime path. It reads window.tsjs.adSlots and window.tsjs.bids synchronously, defines or reuses GPT slots, applies slot-level and hb_* targeting, sets ts_initial=1, refreshes the initial slots, and fires nurl/burl only after slotRenderEnded confirms the TS bid won via hb_adid.
  • Adds PBS stored-request fallback keyed by slot ID when no inline PBS bidder params are present, filters non-PBS provider keys from PBS requests, and keeps bidder-param override rules for per-bidder/zone params.
  • Adds per-bidder PBS win/billing suppression with [integrations.prebid].suppress_nurl_bidders, while retaining the deployment-wide [integrations.prebid].suppress_nurl compatibility switch.
  • Improves the deferred slim-Prebid refresh path so GPT refresh auctions derive ad unit sizes and zone from injected window.tsjs.adSlots / GPT metadata instead of placeholder refresh sizes.
  • Implements EID forwarding for the server-side auction path: reads the ts-eids cookie written by TSJS, gates EIDs by consent, and forwards them as OpenRTB user.ext.eids to PBS.
  • Forwards real client IP and geo from Fastly ClientInfo into the server-side PBS request so bidders see the browser client context rather than the Fastly edge context.
  • Keeps SPA/CSR route changes covered by the existing GET /__ts/page-bids hook, which updates window.tsjs.adSlots / window.tsjs.bids and re-runs window.tsjs.adInit() after pushState, replaceState, or popstate navigations.

Manual end-to-end (browser DevTools console)

The steps below build on each other. Use a URL whose path matches one of the configured [[creative_opportunities.slot]] page_patterns.

Step 1 - Verify slot config is injected at <head> open

window.tsjs?.adSlots

Expected: an array of slot objects. Each entry has id, gam_unit_path, div_id, formats, and targeting. Note the div_id value from one matching slot for step 3.

Step 2 - Verify server-side auction results are injected before </body>

window.tsjs?.bids

Expected: an object keyed by slot ID. Winning slots include hb_bidder, hb_pb, and, for Prebid cache-backed bids, hb_adid / cache fields.

Step 3 - Verify window.tsjs.adInit wired GPT targeting

Replace SLOT_DIV_ID with the div_id from step 1.

googletag
  .pubads()
  .getSlots()
  .filter((slot) => slot.getSlotElementId() === 'SLOT_DIV_ID')
  .map((slot) => ({
    path: slot.getAdUnitPath(),
    targeting: slot.getTargetingMap(),
  }))

Expected: the slot has the configured GAM unit path and targeting includes hb_pb, hb_bidder, any slot-level keys such as pos / zone, and ts_initial: ["1"].

Step 4 - Verify slot matching is page-pattern-aware

Navigate to a different configured path, for example / when homepage slots are configured, and repeat step 2.

Expected: window.tsjs.bids is keyed by the slots matching that page, not by slots from the previous page type.

Step 5 - Confirm no duplicate bids injection

View page source and search for .bids=JSON.parse.

Expected: exactly one window.tsjs.bids assignment before </body> on pages where an auction ran.

Pending (GAM line items required)

Creative delivery requires standard GAM line items targeting hb_pb, hb_bidder, and related Prebid keys. That setup is outside this PR.

Replace the head-injected __ts_bids design with a server-cached bid
delivery model fetched by the client via a new /ts-bids endpoint. The
auction never blocks page rendering — </head> flushes immediately, body
parses without waiting for bids, and the client fetches bids in parallel
with content paint.

Key changes:
- §2 Goal: bid delivery decoupled from page rendering; FCP unchanged from
  no-TS baseline
- §4.3 Auction Trigger: drop buffered/streaming dichotomy; single mode
  forces chunked encoding on all origins (WordPress, NextJS, etc.)
- §4.4 Head Injection: only __ts_ad_slots and __ts_request_id injected at
  <head> open; bid results moved to /ts-bids endpoint
- §4.6 Client Residual: __tsAdInit defines slots immediately, fetches
  bids via /ts-bids, applies targeting and fires refresh() after resolve
- §4.7 (new) Caching Behavior: explicit cacheability table for HTML, JS,
  CSS, tsjs bundle, bid results; Fastly edge HTTP cache leveraged for
  origin HTML
- §5 Request-Time Sequence: full mermaid diagram covering content +
  creative + burl flow with cache-hit and cache-miss branches; separate
  text sequences for cache-hit (~80ms FCP, ~900ms ad-visible) and
  cache-miss (~250ms FCP, ~1,050ms ad-visible)
- §6 Performance Summary: cache-hit and cache-miss columns; FCP added
  as a tracked metric
- §7 Implementation Scope: add bid_cache.rs, /ts-bids endpoint, force
  chunked encoding step
- §8 Edge Cases: origin-agnostic entries; new entries for /ts-bids 404
  and client-never-fetches-/ts-bids

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pivot from the /ts-bids fetch endpoint + in-process bid_cache design to
inline __ts_bids injection before </body>. The earlier design relied on
shared state that doesn't reliably survive Fastly Compute's per-request Wasm
isolate model — body injection achieves the same FCP property in a single
response with no shared-state requirement.

Key changes:

- §4.3: replace /ts-bids long-poll with bounded </body> hold tied to
  A_deadline. Body content above </body> paints first; close-tag held
  until auction completes or A_deadline fires (graceful __ts_bids = {}
  fallback).
- §4.3: add auction-eligibility gating (consent, bot UA, prefetch hints,
  HEAD method, slot match) so auctions fire on real first-page-load
  impressions only.
- §4.4: replace __ts_request_id + /ts-bids machinery with two inline
  <script> blocks — __ts_ad_slots at <head> open, __ts_bids before
  </body> via lol_html el.on_end_tag().
- §4.5: move both nurl and burl to client-side firing from
  slotRenderEnded after hb_adid match. Server-side firing rejected to
  avoid billing inflation on bids that never render.
- §4.6: replace fetch+Promise pattern with synchronous __ts_bids read.
  Add lazy slim-Prebid loader (post-window.load) for scroll/refresh
  auctions and Phase B identity warm-up. Add ts_initial=1 slot-ownership
  sentinel.
- §4.7: switch Cache-Control from private, no-store to private,
  max-age=0 to preserve browser BFCache eligibility while still
  preventing intermediate-cache leaks.
- §4.8 (new): document the EC/KV identity model as load-bearing auction
  input — Phase A retrieval at request time, Phase B post-render
  enrichment via slim-Prebid userID modules. Add bare-EC first-impression
  caveat and auction_eid_count metric. Note federated-consortium
  passphrase property and clickstream-compounding speed win.
- §5: update mermaid + cache-hit/miss timelines for bounded body hold;
  ad-visible converges to ~870ms (hit) / ~1,020ms (miss).
- §6: drop /ts-bids RTT row; add DCL row; add clickstream-compounding,
  TS-overhead, identity-coverage, and confidence-interval framing.
- §7: drop bid_cache.rs and /ts-bids endpoint from scope; add
  auction-eligibility gating and slim-Prebid bundle build target. Add
  explicit "Deleted" subsection.
- §8: drop /ts-bids edge cases; add SPA/pushState, bare-EC, bot/prefetch,
  HEAD, BFCache restoration cases.
- §9.6: server-side GAM downgraded from "Phase 2 commitment" to
  aspirational and contingent on Google agreement. §9.8 (slim-Prebid
  bundle composition), §9.9 (Privacy Sandbox), §9.10 (per-bidder consent)
  added as follow-ups.

Implementation plan at docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-30-server-side-ad-templates.md
is now stale relative to this spec; needs regenerating before code lands.
…ities.toml

Adds the creative_opportunities field to Settings struct to deserialize
configuration for the server-side ad auction feature. Includes build.rs
stubs for types required during build-time configuration validation.

Creates creative-opportunities.toml with example slot configuration and
updates trusted-server.toml with the [creative_opportunities] section
defining GAM network ID, auction timeout, and price granularity settings.

Tests pass with proper TOML parsing of the creative_opportunities section.
…ared auction state

- Add `ad_slots_script: Option<String>` and `ad_bids_state: Arc<RwLock<Option<String>>>` fields to `HtmlProcessorConfig`
- Update `from_settings` to initialize both new fields with safe defaults
- Prepend `ad_slots_script` inside the existing `<head>` handler before integration inserts
- Add `element!("body", ...)` handler that uses `end_tag_handlers()` to inject `__ts_bids` before `</body>`; falls back to empty `{}` when auction state is `None`
- Add `IntegrationRegistry::empty_for_tests()` test helper
- Add three new tests covering all injection paths
…gibility gates; max-age=0

- Make handle_publisher_request async; add orchestrator and slots_file params
- Dispatch origin request with send_async before running auction in parallel
- Gate auction on GET, no prefetch, no bot, matched slots, TCF purpose-1 consent
- Run server-side auction and write bucketed bids to ad_bids_state Arc<RwLock>
- Compute ad_slots_script after response headers; set Cache-Control: private, max-age=0
- Fix Stream arm to thread actual ad_slots_script and ad_bids_state through
- Add build_auction_request, build_bid_map, build_bids_script, build_ad_slots_script helpers
- Update route_tests.rs to pass empty slots_file to route_request
- build_bid_map now returns serde_json::Map with full bid objects (hb_pb,
  hb_bidder, hb_adid, nurl, burl) instead of a plain CPM string map
- build_bids_script / build_ad_slots_script now emit full <script> tags
  using JSON.parse("…") for safe inline embedding; add html_escape_for_script helper
- build_ad_slots_script uses correct property names (gam_unit_path, div_id,
  formats, targeting) matching the client-side TSJS bundle expectations
- Replace map_or(false, …) with is_some_and(…) on lines 546, 549, 567
- Add # Panics doc sections to handle_publisher_request and create_html_processor
… from slotRenderEnded; slim-Prebid lazy loader
- Enable APS and adserver_mock in auction config; set providers and mediator
- Increase auction_timeout_ms from 500ms to 3000ms — 500ms was too tight
  for HTTPS round-trips to mocktioneer, leaving the mediator zero budget
- Fix mediation request: send numeric price instead of opaque encoded_price;
  mocktioneer requires a decoded price field and does not support encoded_price
- Expand creative-opportunities slot page_patterns to include /news/**

Both handle_publisher_request and handle_page_bids now run the full
four-step EID pipeline (resolve_client_auction_eids → resolve_auction_eids
→ merge_auction_eids → gate_eids_by_consent) matching the client-side
/auction endpoint.

Previously both paths called parse_ts_eids_cookie, which read only the
ts-eids browser cookie and skipped the KV identity graph lookup entirely.

AuctionDispatch gains a registry field so the partner registry reaches
handle_publisher_request without exceeding the seven-argument limit.
handle_page_bids gains kv and registry parameters for the same reason.

parse_ts_eids_cookie is moved to #[cfg(test)] as it is now test-only.
The file only emitted a rerun-if-changed watch for creative-opportunities.toml,
which was deleted when slot config was consolidated into trusted-server.toml.
Config validation now runs entirely in trusted-server-core/build.rs.

Replace all references to the deleted `creative-opportunities.toml` file with
the `[creative_opportunities]` section in `trusted-server.toml`. Update all
`window.__ts_*` global name references to the current `window.tsjs.*` namespace
(tsjs.bids, tsjs.adSlots, tsjs.adInit).
Add `suppress_nurl: bool` (default `false`) to `PrebidIntegrationConfig`.
When `true`, strips `nurl` and `burl` from PBS bids at parse time, preventing
client-side double-firing via `sendBeacon` when PBS fires win notifications
server-side (ext.prebid.events.enabled).

Update `adserver_mock` test-bidder response to include example `nurl`/`burl`
values so the win-notification pipeline is exercisable in unit tests.

Automated review: I reviewed PR #680 at def951a against main. CI is green, but I found blocking privacy/security and correctness issues in the new server-side ad-template paths. In particular, the publisher/page-bids auction paths can forward persistent identifiers after EC consent is denied, the default config now enables automatic outbound ad calls to real endpoints, and the GPT/Prebid refresh paths can duplicate requests or reuse stale targeting. Details are inline.

Summary

Reviewed the current branch PR #680 at 80fe39220 against main. I found several remaining issues that should be addressed in this PR because they affect the new server-side ad-template auction behavior: consent gating, the auction kill switch, PBS URL compatibility, SPA refresh flow, timeout budgets, and stale GPT targeting.

Per discussion, the raw browser-cookie forwarding concern is not included in this PR review and is tracked separately in #763.

Findings submitted inline: 0 P0, 4 P1, 1 P2, 1 P3. One additional P2 is included below because the affected provider timeout lines are not part of the final PR diff.

P2 — Provider payload timeouts ignore the effective auction budget

crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/prebid.rs:1171 and crates/trusted-server-core/src/integrations/aps.rs:367 still use provider config timeouts in the payload (tmax / APS timeout), while the Fastly backend timeout is capped to context.timeout_ms. When creative_opportunities.auction_timeout_ms is lower than the provider timeout, providers are told they have more time than the edge will actually wait, which can turn useful partial bids into edge timeouts. Please use the effective context.timeout_ms in provider payloads and add tests where provider config is 1000ms but auction context is 500ms.

Summary

Server-side ad slot templates with PBS/APS auction — a large, well-tested feature (44 files, +12,746/−395). The XSS escaping, single-injection guard, consent gating, and price-bucket math are solid. Findings cluster around win/billing beacon correctness (the headline issue), a runtime slot-id validation gap, and JS test hygiene. Inline comments carry most findings; cross-cutting items are below.

Blocking

🔧 wrench

  • Win/billing beacons over-fire / double-firegpt_bootstrap.js:95 and gpt/index.ts:440 (inline).
  • validate_slot_id dead at runtime — env-injected slot ids unvalidated, creative_opportunities.rs:270 (inline).
  • JS test file leaks global addEventListener; suites duplicated across two dirsgpt/index.test.ts:10 (inline).
  • installSpaAuctionHook has zero coveragegpt/index.ts:475 (inline).

❓ question

  • Prebid stored-request fan-out behavioral changeprebid.rs:974 (inline).
  • page-bids path query param not normalized before glob matchpublisher.rs:1584 (inline).
  • Cache-Control max-age=0 vs claimed no-storepublisher.rs:1214 (inline).

Non-blocking (not pinnable to a single diff line)

🤔 thinking

  • collect vs parallel auction paths may divergeauction/orchestrator.rs collect path calls provider.parse_response(...) while run_providers_parallel calls parse_response_with_context(...). If any provider's context-aware parse does extra work (consent/settings-driven), the async and parallel paths produce different bids for the same upstream response. Confirm the plain parse_response is an equivalent superset, or thread context through the collect loop too.

🌱 seedling

  • No per-iteration deadline check in the collect select-loopauction/orchestrator.rs collect_dispatched_auction relies entirely on each backend's dispatch-time timeout cap, whereas run_providers_parallel re-checks elapsed >= deadline after each select(). The invariant holds today (dispatch caps each provider at the remaining budget), but the two paths diverge silently; mirror the guard for defense-in-depth.

♻️ refactor

  • adserver_mock.rs:101 carries request-scoped bid_index via Mutex on a shared Arc provider — same pattern flagged inline on aps.rs:289; migrate to parse_response_with_context.

⛏ nitpick

  • platform_response_to_fastly is infallible but returns Resultauction/orchestrator.rs:497; every call site handles an Err that can never fire. Return fastly::Response directly or document the forward-compat intent.
  • Redundant constructorsPriceGranularity::dense() (returns Self::Dense, and the enum already Defaults to Dense) and MediaType::banner() add public API surface over the variant literals for no benefit.

CI Status

  • cargo fmt: PASS
  • cargo clippy: PASS
  • cargo test: PASS
  • vitest (JS): PASS
  • CodeQL / integration / browser-integration: PASS

prk-Jr added 3 commits June 12, 2026 13:29
- Fail closed on consent: add consent_allows_server_side_auction() helper
  requiring effective TCF/GPP Purpose 1 for GDPR and unknown jurisdictions
  (or any request carrying an EU TCF signal); used by both the publisher
  navigation auction and /__ts/page-bids
- Pass the adapter's geo-aware EcContext into handle_page_bids so the
  jurisdiction decision sees real geo instead of always-unknown
- Make [auction].enabled a real kill switch for the automatic publisher
  navigation ad stack and the /__ts/page-bids auction
- Normalize Prebid server_url: use it as-is when it already ends with
  /openrtb2/auction, otherwise append the path (backward compatible)
- Advertise the effective auction budget in provider payloads: PBS tmax
  and APS timeout now use the orchestrator-capped context.timeout_ms
  instead of raw provider config
- Add a one-shot adInitRefreshInProgress bypass so slim-Prebid's refresh
  wrapper passes adInit()'s internal refresh straight to GPT instead of
  clearing server-side targeting with a duplicate client-side auction
- Sweep stale TS targeting (hb_*, ts_initial, route keys) from all
  previously TS-touched GPT slots before applying a new SPA route
- Map the GPT slot element ID (container div) in the inline bootstrap's
  divToSlotId so container-backed slots fire nurl/burl beacons
- Dedupe win/billing beacons: fire each bid's nurl/burl at most once,
  keyed by slot + bid identity in shared tsjs state so the inline
  bootstrap and bundle listeners can never double-fire; unify the
  ourBidWon check (hb_adid confirmation with hb_bidder fallback for
  APS bids) across both implementations
- Wire validate_slot_id into Settings::prepare_runtime so every load
  path (including env-injected slots on runtime-config adapters)
  rejects invalid slot IDs; build.rs settings stub gains a no-op
- Normalize the client-controlled page-bids path parameter: strip
  query/fragment and force a leading slash before glob matching
- Document the deliberate Cache-Control private, max-age=0 choice
  (BFCache eligibility per design spec section 4.7, not no-store)
- Align orchestrator collect path with the parallel path: use
  parse_response_with_context for providers and the mediator, and add
  a defense-in-depth deadline check to the collect select-loop
- Migrate adserver_mock off request-scoped Mutex state: the SSP bid
  index is rebuilt in parse_response_with_context from the context's
  provider responses; document why APS's slot_id_map cannot follow yet
- Make platform_response_to_fastly infallible; drop the dead error arms
- Remove redundant PriceGranularity::dense and MediaType::banner
  constructors in favor of Default-based serde field defaults
- Clarify that the Prebid stored-request fallback cannot fire for the
  client /auction path (every ad unit carries a trustedServer entry)
- Consolidate GPT JS suites under test/integrations/gpt/, replace the
  leaked module-scope addEventListener patch with a restored wrapper,
  and add installSpaAuctionHook coverage (pushState/replaceState/
  popstate, stale-response guard, non-OK response, idempotence)
The edge injects adSlots and bids only when the server-side ad stack
runs for the request. When it is gated off (kill switch, consent
fail-closed, bots, prefetch), page code reading window.tsjs.bids or
window.tsjs.adSlots previously threw on undefined and could blank
SPA rendering. Core init now defaults them to {} / [] without
clobbering edge-injected values that arrive before the bundle.

Also flip the committed [auction] enabled default to true: with all
provider integrations disabled and no slot templates in the checked-in
config, the flag alone dispatches nothing, and the kill switch now
actually gating the ad stack means a false default breaks every
local/dev setup that enables a provider without noticing the flag.

All findings from the two latest reviews are addressed in d3d43bc, 0f4dd86, and aa43944. Inline threads have individual replies; the items below had no inline thread.

@ChristianPavilonis — P2 provider payload timeouts (review body): Fixed in d3d43bc. PBS tmax and the APS payload timeout now use the effective context.timeout_ms — the orchestrator already caps each provider's context at min(remaining auction budget, provider config), so payloads now advertise exactly the deadline the edge backend enforces. Tests added for both providers with provider config 1000ms / auction context 500ms asserting the payload says 500.

@aram356 — blocking:

  • Win/billing beacons over-fire / double-fire — fixed in 0f4dd86. Unified ourBidWon (hb_adid confirmation, hb_bidder fallback for APS bids which carry no hb_adid) across bootstrap and bundle, plus a once-per-bid dedupe keyed by slot + bid identity in shared tsjs.firedBeacons state — GAM re-renders and publisher refreshes can't re-bill, and the two listeners can't double-fire the same bid. Tests cover first-fire, repeat-render suppression, and the APS fallback.
  • validate_slot_id dead at runtime — fixed in 0f4dd86. Wired into Settings::prepare_runtime, so every load path (including env-injected slots) rejects invalid IDs; build.rs keeps its raw-TOML check for build-time failures. Rejection test added.
  • JS test addEventListener leak + suites in two dirs — fixed in 0f4dd86. The gpt adInit suite moved to test/integrations/gpt/ad_init.test.ts; the module-scope patch is now a plain wrapper restored in afterAll (deliberately not vi.spyOn — the render-bridge suite spies the same method, and a spy-on-spy aliases implementations and recurses).
  • installSpaAuctionHook zero coverage — fixed in 0f4dd86. New spa_hook.test.ts: pushState fetch + adInit application, same-path no-op, replaceState/popstate, stale-response guard, non-OK response, install idempotence.

@aram356 — questions:

  • Prebid stored-request fan-out — no behavioral change for existing flows: the JS adapter injects a trustedServer entry into every /auction ad unit, so the empty-bidder branch only fires for server-side creative-opportunity slots (new in this PR). Documented at the branch in 0f4dd86.
  • page-bids path normalization — fixed in 0f4dd86: query/fragment stripped, leading slash forced before glob matching, with tests.
  • Cache-Control max-age=0 vs no-store — deliberate per design spec §4.7: no-store was rejected to preserve BFCache eligibility; private plus Surrogate-Control stripping handles shared caches. The code comment now states this instead of implying no-store.

@aram356 — non-blocking:

  • collect vs parallel parse divergence — fixed in 0f4dd86: the collect path (providers and mediator) now calls parse_response_with_context, matching the parallel path.
  • collect-loop deadline check — mirrored in 0f4dd86 as defense-in-depth.
  • adserver_mock bid_index Mutex — migrated in 0f4dd86: the index is rebuilt in parse_response_with_context from context.provider_responses. The APS slot_id_map cannot follow the same recipe — it derives from the AuctionRequest, which AuctionContext doesn't carry — so it keeps the Mutex with a doc comment stating the constraint; threading the request through the context is a follow-up.
  • platform_response_to_fastly Result — now returns fastly::Response directly; dead error arms removed.
  • Redundant constructors — removed; they existed only as serde default hooks, replaced with #[serde(default)] + Default impls.

Deliberately deferred: gating /auction on [auction].enabled (the "ideally" part of the kill-switch P1) — the client-side /auction path is scoped to a separate branch per earlier discussion.

aa43944 additionally defaults tsjs.adSlots/tsjs.bids in core init so pages reading them never throw when the ad stack is gated off, and flips the committed [auction].enabled default to true (inert in the checked-in config: no providers enabled, no slot templates — the integration flags remain the safe-by-default guard).

CI: cargo fmt / clippy -D warnings / cargo test --workspace (1310 core) / vitest 351 all green locally.

Automated review: I reviewed PR #680 at d1cd3d8 against origin/main. CI is currently green, but I found one blocking cache/privacy issue and two additional correctness/security hardening issues in the new server-side ad-template paths. Details are inline.

Automated review: P1 — operator response headers can re-enable shared caching for per-user HTML

handle_publisher_request strips Surrogate-Control / Fastly-Surrogate-Control when it marks assembled HTML as Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, because the body can now contain per-user window.tsjs.bids and targeting state. However, finalize_response later reapplies every configured [response_headers] entry and only protects Cache-Control. If an operator has a global Surrogate-Control = "max-age=..." or Fastly-Surrogate-Control, this line re-adds it after the publisher path removed it, making a bid-injected HTML response eligible for shared surrogate caching.

Please treat surrogate cache headers like Cache-Control when the response already has a private cache directive: skip/remove Surrogate-Control and Fastly-Surrogate-Control in this loop, and add a route test showing private HTML/page-bids responses cannot regain those headers from settings.response_headers.

Automated review: P2 — /__ts/page-bids is a side-effecting GET with no same-origin gate

Once these conditions pass, this public GET endpoint runs real PBS/APS auctions and forwards request-derived data (IP/UA/geo, consent signals, and any cookies browser policy permits) to partners. The TS client fetch does not send a custom header, and the server does not check Fetch Metadata, so a third-party page can trigger this endpoint from the user's browser even though it cannot read the JSON response. That still burns SSP quota and causes outbound partner calls unrelated to a real same-origin SPA navigation.

Please add a same-origin/CSRF-style gate before dispatching the auction, e.g. require Sec-Fetch-Site to be same-origin/same-site (or absent only for known legacy clients) and/or have the TS client send a non-simple X-TSJS-Page-Bids: 1 header. Requests failing the gate should return 403 or at least skip run_auction; add tests for missing/cross-site metadata.

Automated review: P2 — build-time validation no longer checks the runtime slot schema

The build script deserializes creative-opportunity slots as raw JSON and then validates only id presence/shape. That means cargo build can succeed and write target/trusted-server-out.toml for slots that the runtime schema will reject later (for example missing formats, malformed page_patterns, wrong provider field types). The deployed WASM would then fail settings load at request time instead of failing in CI/build.

Please validate slot_raw against a build-time schema that mirrors CreativeOpportunitySlot's required fields/types, or restructure the build script stubs so it can reuse the real runtime deserializer for creative-opportunity slots, while still preserving the env-var JSON blob support.
