* fix: Fix critical session cleanup stack overflow bug (v2.19.2)
This commit fixes a critical P0 bug that caused stack overflow during
container restart, making the service unusable for all users with
session persistence enabled.
Root Causes:
1. Missing await in cleanupExpiredSessions() line 206 caused
overlapping async cleanup attempts
2. Transport event handlers (onclose, onerror) triggered recursive
cleanup during shutdown
3. No recursion guard to prevent concurrent cleanup of same session
Fixes Applied:
- Added cleanupInProgress Set recursion guard
- Added isShuttingDown flag to prevent recursive event handlers
- Implemented safeCloseTransport() with timeout protection (3s)
- Updated removeSession() with recursion guard and safe close
- Fixed cleanupExpiredSessions() to properly await with error isolation
- Updated all transport event handlers to check shutdown flag
- Enhanced shutdown() method for proper sequential cleanup
Impact:
- Service now survives container restarts without stack overflow
- No more hanging requests after restart
- Individual session cleanup failures don't cascade
- All 77 session lifecycle tests passing
Version: 2.19.2
Severity: CRITICAL
Priority: P0

* chore: Bump package.runtime.json to v2.19.2
* test: Fix transport cleanup test to work with safeCloseTransport
The test was manually triggering mockTransport.onclose() to simulate
cleanup, but our stack overflow fix sets transport.onclose = undefined
in safeCloseTransport() before closing.
Updated the test to call removeSession() directly instead of manually
triggering the onclose handler. This properly tests the cleanup behavior
with the new recursion-safe approach.
Changes:
- Call removeSession() directly to test cleanup
- Verify transport.close() is called
- Verify onclose and onerror handlers are cleared
- Verify all session data structures are cleaned up

Updates session-management-api.test.ts to align with the relaxed
session ID validation policy introduced for MCP proxy compatibility.
Changes:
- Remove short session IDs from invalid test cases (they're now valid)
- Add new test "should accept short session IDs (relaxed for MCP proxy compatibility)"
- Keep testing truly invalid IDs: empty strings, too long (101+), invalid chars
- Add more comprehensive invalid character tests (spaces, special chars)
Valid short session IDs now accepted:
- 'short' (5 chars)
- 'a' (1 char)
- 'only-nineteen-chars' (19 chars)
- '12345' (5 digits)
Invalid session IDs still rejected:
- Empty strings
- Over 100 characters
- Contains invalid characters (spaces, special chars, quotes, slashes)
This maintains security (character whitelist, max length) while
improving MCP proxy compatibility.

Fixes 5 failing CI tests by relaxing session ID validation to accept
any non-empty string with safe characters (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores).
Changes:
- Remove 20-character minimum length requirement
- Keep maximum 100-character length for DoS protection
- Maintain character whitelist for injection protection
- Update tests to reflect relaxed validation policy
- Fix mock setup for N8NDocumentationMCPServer in tests
Security protections maintained:
- Character whitelist prevents SQL/NoSQL injection and path traversal
- Maximum length limit prevents DoS attacks
- Empty string validation ensures non-empty session IDs
Tests fixed:
✅ DELETE /mcp endpoint now returns 404 (not 400) for non-existent sessions
✅ Session ID validation accepts short IDs like '12345', 'short-id'
✅ Idempotent session creation tests pass with proper mock setup

Updated test to reflect critical typeVersion validation fix from v2.17.4.
## Issue
CI test failing: "should skip node repository lookup for langchain nodes"
Expected getNode() NOT to be called for langchain nodes.
## Root Cause
Test was written before v2.17.4 when langchain nodes completely bypassed
validation. In v2.17.4, we fixed critical bug where langchain nodes with
invalid typeVersion (e.g., 99999) passed validation but failed at runtime.
## Fix
Updated test to reflect new correct behavior:
- Langchain nodes SHOULD call getNode() for typeVersion validation
- Prevents invalid typeVersion from bypassing validation
- Parameter validation still skipped (handled by AI validators)
## Changes
1. Renamed test to clarify what it tests
2. Changed expectation: getNode() SHOULD be called
3. Check for no typeVersion errors (AI errors may exist)
4. Added new test for invalid typeVersion detection
## Impact
- Zero breaking changes (only test update)
- Validates v2.17.4 critical bug fix works correctly
- Ensures langchain nodes don't bypass typeVersion validation

Added comprehensive TypeScript type definitions for n8n node parsing while
maintaining zero compilation errors. Uses pragmatic "70% benefit with 0%
breakage" approach with strategic `any` assertions.
## Type Definitions (src/types/node-types.ts)
- NodeClass union type replaces `any` in method signatures
- Type guards: isVersionedNodeInstance(), isVersionedNodeClass()
- Utility functions for safe node handling
## Parser Updates
- node-parser.ts: All methods use NodeClass (15+ methods)
- simple-parser.ts: Strongly typed method signatures
- property-extractor.ts: Typed extraction methods
- 30+ method signatures improved
## Strategic Pattern
- Strong types in public method signatures (caller type safety)
- Strategic `as any` assertions for internal union type access
- Pattern: const desc = description as any; // Access union properties
## Benefits
- Better IDE support and auto-complete
- Compile-time safety at call sites
- Type-based documentation
- Zero compilation errors
- Bug prevention (would have caught v2.17.4 baseDescription issue)
## Test Updates
- All test files updated with `as any` for mock objects
- Zero compilation errors maintained
## Known Limitations
- ~70% type coverage (signatures typed, internal logic uses assertions)
- Union types (INodeTypeBaseDescription vs INodeTypeDescription) not fully resolved
- Future work: Conditional types or overloads for 100% type safety

This fixes a critical validation gap where AI agents could create invalid
configurations for nodes using resourceLocator properties (primarily AI model
nodes like OpenAI Chat Model v1.2+, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.).
Before this fix, AI agents could incorrectly pass a string value like:
model: "gpt-4o-mini"
Instead of the required object format:
model: { mode: "list", value: "gpt-4o-mini" }
These invalid configs would pass validation but fail at runtime in n8n.
Changes:
- Added resourceLocator type validation in config-validator.ts (lines 237-274)
- Validates value is an object with required 'mode' and 'value' properties
- Provides helpful error messages with exact fix suggestions
- Added 10 comprehensive test cases (100% passing)
- Updated version to 2.17.3
- Added CHANGELOG entry
Affected nodes: OpenAI Chat Model (v1.2+), Anthropic, Cohere, DeepSeek,

Fixes#270
## Problem
Connection operations (addConnection, removeConnection, etc.) failed when node
names contained special characters like apostrophes, quotes, or backslashes.
Default n8n Manual Trigger node: "When clicking 'Execute workflow'" caused:
- Error: "Source node not found: \"When clicking 'Execute workflow'\""
- Node shown in available nodes list but string matching failed
- Users had to use node IDs as workaround
## Root Cause
The `findNode()` method in WorkflowDiffEngine performed exact string matching
without normalization. When node names contained special characters, escaping
differences between input strings and stored node names caused match failures.
## Solution
### 1. String Normalization (Primary Fix)
Added `normalizeNodeName()` helper method:
- Unescapes single quotes: \' → '
- Unescapes double quotes: \" → "
- Unescapes backslashes: \\ → \
- Normalizes whitespace
Updated `findNode()` to normalize both search string and node names before
comparison, while preserving exact UUID matching for node IDs.
### 2. Improved Error Messages
Enhanced validation error messages to show:
- Node IDs (first 8 characters) for quick reference
- Available nodes with both names and ID prefixes
- Helpful tip about using node IDs for special characters
### 3. Comprehensive Tests
Added 6 new test cases covering:
- Apostrophes (default Manual Trigger scenario)
- Double quotes
- Backslashes
- Mixed special characters
- removeConnection with special chars
- updateNode with special chars
All tests passing: 116/116 in workflow-diff-engine.test.ts
### 4. Documentation
Updated tool documentation to note:
- Special character support since v2.15.6
- Node IDs preferred for best compatibility
## Affected Operations
All 8 operations using findNode() now support special characters:
- addConnection, removeConnection, updateConnection
- removeNode, updateNode, moveNode
- enableNode, disableNode
## Testing
Validated with n8n-mcp-tester agent:
✅ addConnection with apostrophes works
✅ Default Manual Trigger name works
✅ Improved error messages show IDs
✅ Double quotes handled correctly
✅ Node IDs work as alternative
## Impact
- Fixes common user pain point with default n8n node names
- Backward compatible (only makes matching MORE permissive)
- Minimal performance impact (normalization only during validation)
- Centralized fix (one method fixes all 8 operations)

## Bug Description
handleCreateWorkflow and handleUpdateFullWorkflow were incorrectly
normalizing node types from FULL form (n8n-nodes-base.webhook) to
SHORT form (nodes-base.webhook) before validation and API calls.
This caused 100% failure rate for workflow creation because:
- n8n API requires FULL form (n8n-nodes-base.*)
- Database stores SHORT form (nodes-base.*)
- NodeTypeNormalizer converts TO SHORT form (for database)
- But was being used BEFORE API calls (incorrect)
## Root Cause
NodeTypeNormalizer was designed for database lookups but was
incorrectly applied to API operations. The method name
`normalizeToFullForm()` is misleading - it actually normalizes
TO SHORT form.
## Changes
1. handlers-n8n-manager.ts:
- Removed NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeWorkflowNodeTypes() from
handleCreateWorkflow (line 288)
- Removed normalization from handleUpdateFullWorkflow (line 544-557)
- Added proactive SHORT form detection with helpful errors
- Added comments explaining n8n API expects FULL form
2. node-type-normalizer.ts:
- Added prominent WARNING about not using before API calls
- Added examples showing CORRECT vs INCORRECT usage
- Clarified this is FOR DATABASE OPERATIONS ONLY
3. handlers-n8n-manager.test.ts:
- Fixed test to expect FULL form (not SHORT) sent to API
- Removed incorrect expectedNormalizedInput assertion
4. NEW: workflow-creation-node-type-format.test.ts:
- 7 integration tests with real validation (unmocked)
- Tests FULL form acceptance, SHORT form rejection
- Tests real-world workflows (webhook, schedule trigger)
- Regression test to prevent bug reintroduction
## Verification
Before fix:
❌ Manual Trigger → Set: FAILED
❌ Webhook → HTTP Request: FAILED
Failure rate: 100%
After fix:
✅ Manual Trigger → Set: SUCCESS (ID: kTAaDZwdpzj8gqzM)
✅ Webhook → HTTP Request: SUCCESS (ID: aPtQUb54uuHIqX52)
✅ All 39 tests passing (32 unit + 7 integration)
Success rate: 100%
## Impact
- Fixes: Complete blocking bug preventing all workflow creation
- Risk: Zero (removing buggy behavior)
- Breaking: None (external API unchanged)
