build: verify gem integrity at install time (CVE-2020-8130 hardening)
The Gemfile/Gemfile.lock fetched gems over plain http://rubygems.org with BUNDLED WITH 1.11.2 and no CHECKSUMS block, so nothing verified the content of a downloaded gem. rake executes arbitrary code from the Rakefile at test time, so a substituted tarball would run as the developer. Context: CVE-2020-8130 / GHSA-jppv-gw3r-w3q8 is an OS command injection in Rake::FileList, patched in rake 12.3.3. The old lockfile already pinned 12.3.3 so it was not itself vulnerable; the gap was that the *delivery* of that gem was unverifiable. This moves to rake 13.4.2 and makes delivery verifiable. - Gemfile.lock: regenerated with Bundler 2.7.1, adding a CHECKSUMS block with per-gem SHA-256 digests that Bundler verifies on every bundle install. - Gemfile: drop `gem "json"`. lib/ only uses JSON.parse/JSON.dump from the json default gem that ships with Ruby, and the gemspec declares no dependency on it, so a third-party json was a redundant build-time component -- and a native extension that fails to compile against Homebrew ruby@3.2 headers. - .gitignore: ignore .bundle/ and vendor/bundle/. .bundle/config can carry disable_checksum_validation, which would silently switch the new verification off, so it must never be committed. Verified: every digest matches the SHA-256 rubygems.org publishes for that version. Flipping one digest makes bundle install abort with "Bundler found mismatched checksums" (exit 37, nothing installed); with the CHECKSUMS block removed the same install exits 0 and performs no verification at all. Suite: 23 runs, 40 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 3 skips. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
