Stacked on #748 (base feat/image-edits); retarget to main once that merges.

Adds opt-in storage of image bytes in the audit log for /v1/images/generations and /v1/images/edits, and fixes how their responses are captured.

User-visible impact

  • LOGGING_LOG_IMAGE_BODIES (default false) — embed image bytes as base64 in audit entries so the dashboard can show them. Like LOGGING_LOG_AUDIO_BODIES, it requires LOGGING_LOG_BODIES=true.
  • LOGGING_LOG_IMAGE_BODIES_SCOPE (default all) — all, input (edit uploads: sources and masks), or output (generated images). Invalid values fail startup.
  • Image entries are now stored as an image body (__images__ marker) — request parameters / response envelope (usage, size, quality, …) plus one item per image with role, content_type, bytes, hosted url, and stored. Pixels are included only when enabled and within an 8 MB per-entry budget (extra images become too_large placeholders).
  • Previously a b64_json response hit the generic 1 MB capture limit: the entry held ~1 MB of truncated base64 flagged response_body_too_big_to_handle and lost the trailing usage/size fields. Now the entry is small and complete when image storage is off.
  • Dashboard renders image bodies as a gallery (inline previews, hosted links, or labeled placeholders) in EN/PL.

Internals

  • auditlog.ImageBodyLog / BuildImageUploadBody / BuildImageResponseBody; LogImageInputs / LogImageOutputs derived from the two settings.
  • Handlers that capture their own response body (EnrichEntryWithResponseBody, EnrichEntryWithCapturedResponseBody) now mark the context so the middleware neither overwrites the body nor applies its truncation flag.
  • Docs: configuration reference, .env.template, config.example.yaml, images-api audit section.

Verified live: edit with LOGGING_LOG_IMAGE_BODIES=true stored input (857 B), mask (1.4 KB) and the 1.3 MB output inline with the full usage envelope and no truncation flag.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable audit logging for image inputs and outputs.
    • Supports storing image data for all images, uploads only, or generated results only.
    • Audit logs include structured metadata, hosted URLs, previews, role labels, and placeholders for unlogged or oversized images.
    • Added image galleries to the audit-log dashboard.
    • Added an 8 MiB per-entry image storage limit.
    • Invalid image logging scopes now produce a clear configuration error.
  • Documentation

    • Documented image logging settings, storage limits, and dashboard behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable image-body audit logging for image generation and edit endpoints. It records structured metadata, optionally stores input or output bytes, protects captured responses from middleware truncation, and renders image audit entries in the dashboard.

Changes

Image audit logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and scope contract
.env.template, config/*, docs/advanced/configuration.mdx, internal/app/app.go
Adds image-body logging settings, scope validation, defaults, environment bindings, documentation, tests, and startup status fields.
Audit image serialization
internal/auditlog/auditlog.go, internal/auditlog/factory.go, internal/auditlog/image_body.go, internal/auditlog/image_body_test.go, docs/advanced/images-api.mdx
Adds structured upload and response bodies with metadata, optional base64 data, content-type normalization, and an 8 MiB storage budget.
Image endpoint audit flow
internal/auditlog/enrich.go, internal/auditlog/middleware.go, internal/server/*
Passes input/output logging flags through image handlers, captures generation and edit responses, and prevents middleware from replacing handler-captured bodies.
Dashboard image presentation
web/dashboard/messages/*, web/dashboard/src/pages/audit-logs/*, web/dashboard/src/styles/usage-audit.css, web/dashboard/tests/*
Detects and renders image galleries, previews, URLs, metadata, placeholders, localized labels, and sanitized output.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5aaa4

Image audit logging may still create avoidable per-request memory pressure by retaining full base64 upload copies when storage is disabled or over budget. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on bounded memory usage.

Poem

A rabbit logs images, neat and bright,
With input and output tucked in sight.
Base64 rests within its byte-sized nest,
Metadata records the rest.
The dashboard shows each gallery—
Safe previews for audit history.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Not merge-safe until the audit payload is bounded by the MongoDB document limit.

There is exactly one verified non-security P1 finding, which maps to a confidence score of 4.

  • T-Rex prepared the focused BSON limit reproduction source to validate the P1 finding.
  • T-Rex inspected the reproduction results by reviewing a log where BSON size was below the MongoDB limit, confirming one side of the boundary.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reserve the budget before encoding upload bytes.

When storeBytes is false, this code still base64-encodes every upload before store returns. When an upload exceeds the remaining budget, it also allocates the base64 string before store marks the item as TooLarge. An 8 MiB upload creates an unused base64 string of about 10.7 MiB on each affected request.

Check storeBytes and reserve len(img.Data) before EncodeToString. Encode only items that will be stored. Add an allocation regression test or benchmark for disabled and over-budget upload logging.

Proposed fix
 func (b *ImageBodyLog) addRaw(role string, img core.ImageFile, storeBytes bool) {
 	item := ImageItemLog{
 		Role:        role,
 		Filename:    img.Filename,
 		ContentType: bareMediaType(img.ContentType),
 		Bytes:       len(img.Data),
 	}
-	if len(img.Data) > 0 {
-		b.store(&item, base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(img.Data), storeBytes)
+	if storeBytes && len(img.Data) > 0 {
+		if b.budget.take(item.Bytes) {
+			item.Encoding = "base64"
+			item.Data = base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(img.Data)
+			item.Stored = true
+		} else {
+			item.TooLarge = true
+		}
 	}
 	b.Items = append(b.Items, item)
 }

P1 Encoded audit budget still overflows

The shared limit reserves only decoded image bytes, but the audit entry persists those bytes as base64 and also retains unbounded image-edit multipart metadata. With image-body logging enabled, an 8 MiB upload produces an 11,184,812-byte base64 field; adding a 5.4 MiB prompt produces a 16,847,700-byte BSON LogEntry, which exceeds MongoDB's 16,777,216-byte document limit. MongoDB rejects that audit record. Apply a document-wide encoded-size budget that includes base64 expansion, BSON overhead, and retained request metadata before storing image data.

Artifacts

Focused BSON limit reproduction source

  • This uploaded Go test constructs the actual audit entry and BSON-marshals the realistic image-edit payload, demonstrating the tested document shape.

BSON size below MongoDB limit

  • This uploaded execution log shows the 8 MiB image plus 5.3 MiB metadata case encoded to 16,742,842 bytes, remaining 34,374 bytes below the limit.

BSON size above MongoDB limit

  • This uploaded execution log shows the 8 MiB image plus 5.4 MiB metadata case encoded to 16,847,700 bytes, exceeding MongoDB's 16 MiB limit by 70,484 bytes, confirming the issue.

Fixed in 9f4d8a6. The budget is now charged in encoded bytes — len of the stored base64 — so at most 8 MiB of persisted image payload per entry, and the entry-built text is bounded too: meta (prompt + forwarded fields) is capped at 1 MiB total with a meta_truncated flag, and revised_prompt at 16 KiB per item. Worst case is now ~8 MiB base64 + 2 MiB meta + the 1 MiB middleware-capped raw bodies + revised prompts, comfortably under the 16 MiB BSON limit. I kept the accounting per-payload rather than modeling BSON overhead document-wide; the caps leave several MiB of headroom for it. Tests cover exact-budget storage, the shared request/response budget in encoded bytes, and both truncations.

Exercise the HTML-escaping path with the mixed-case tag.

<ScRiPt> is placed in item.data. The renderer removes non-base64 characters before it builds the HTML, so this payload never reaches escapeHTML. The test can pass while mixed-case tags remain unescaped in revised_prompt, filenames, or URL text. Add the payload to one of those fields and assert &lt;ScRiPt&gt;.
