fix: probe reflect's secret scan and pin the Phase 9.4 rule by bborbe · Pull Request #341 · bborbe/vault-cli

bborbe · 2026-10-23T14:25:55Z

Closes the six non-blocking review comments deferred out of #338 (three Should Fix, three Nice to Have).

1 — the secret scan is probed, not described (comment 2)

reflect --non-interactive writes KB pages with no operator reviewing the learning list, so this scan is the only thing between the conversation and the vault. Prose could not carry it: a reworded list reads identically whether the scan works or not, and the merged text was both over- and under-broad at once.

scripts/reflect-secret-scan.sh is now the single executable source, and scripts/reflect-secret-scan-test.sh probes it in both directions — each secret shape rejected, each innocent string kept. One direction alone passes for an accept-all scan, the other for a reject-all one; together they distinguish a working scan from a broken one.

sk- is anchored to a token boundary — task-, risk- and disk- no longer match
the password= / token= / secret= / api_key= shapes require an assignment with a value of 8+ characters, so prose about a token= field does not fire
JWT and base64-blob shapes are added; the base64 class excludes pure hex, so a git SHA is not mistaken for a blob
commands/reflect.md keeps the class list as the fallback for an unreachable plugin cache, and a pin derives that list from the script's own --classes output, so the two cannot drift

2 — the mixed terminal line (comments 3 and 6)

reflect: wrote <N> page(s): [[<a>]]; skipped <M> — sensitivity — one line recording both, so a sensitivity skip is no longer lost the moment the write is reported. session-close Phase 9.4 records the same vocabulary. The changelog bullet enumerates all four forms, reflect: failed — <reason> included; the released ## v0.181.0 section is left untouched.

3 — the two `session-close` prose collisions (comments 4 and 5)

The refused-exit carve-out now states that it wins over the goal-anchored block's ⏰ Next: line, with the combined form given so the goal's next task is kept. The mode-3 advisory tail's "never auto-run" is scoped to a mode-3 session, so it no longer contradicts Phase 9.4's mode-2 auto-run of reflect.

4 — the Phase 9.4 rule is pinned (comment 1)

scripts/mode-membership-rule-test.sh now pins the rule itself — reflect runs in mode 2 only, and only when both the Phase 8 reflect signal fired and a finding names no existing KB page — with a mutation self-check that removes each of the three conjuncts in turn and requires that conjunct's pin to fail. Every earlier check pinned a consequence of the rule and none pinned the rule, so a dropped clause or a widened scope left them all green.

Verification

make precommit — pass
scripts/mode-membership-rule-test.sh — 46 passed, 0 failed (22 before)
scripts/reflect-secret-scan-test.sh — 16 passed, 0 failed
mutation controls against the real file: removing each Phase 9.4 conjunct fails exactly its own pin (45 passed, 1 failed, three times)

Outstanding

The invocation exercise is not run. commands/*.md cannot be exercised by the session that authors them. Once this merges and the plugin is updated: the operator runs /reload-plugins, then a reloaded session runs /vault-cli:reflect --non-interactive against the two-learning sample (one clean, one fake credential-shaped fixture) and quotes the terminal line it prints.

reflect --non-interactive writes KB pages with no operator reviewing the learning list, so its sensitivity scan is the only thing between the conversation and the vault. Prose could not carry that: a reworded list reads identically whether the scan works or not, and the review found the merged text both over- and under-broad at once — a bare 'sk-' matched 'task-', 'risk-' and 'disk-', while JWT and base64 shapes matched nothing. - scripts/reflect-secret-scan.sh is now the single executable source of the pattern set, and scripts/reflect-secret-scan-test.sh probes it in BOTH directions: every secret shape rejected, every innocent string kept. One direction alone passes for an accept-all scan, the other for a reject-all one. The base64 class excludes pure hex so a git SHA is not mistaken for a blob; the assignment shapes require a value, so prose about a 'token=' field does not fire. - reflect's NO-ASK terminal line gains a mixed form, so a run that wrote one page and skipped one for sensitivity records both in one line instead of losing the skip. - session-close resolves two contradictions: the refused-exit carve-out now states it wins over the goal-anchored block's Next line, and the mode-3 advisory tail's 'never auto-run' is scoped to a mode-3 session. - mode-membership-rule-test.sh pins the Phase 9.4 rule itself, with a mutation self-check that removes each of its three conjuncts in turn and requires that conjunct's pin to fail.

The `while read … done < <(script --classes)` form fails OPEN: a script that errors or is gone produces no input, the loop body never executes, zero checks run, and the file reports a clean run having pinned nothing. Capture the list first and assert its length, so a missing script fails the pin instead of retiring it. Probed: removing the script now reports 'want [10], got [0]' and fails.

}

Four Should-Fix findings, all real: - reflect.md never assigned $REFLECT_SCAN. The prose gave only the directory command, so a literal reading passed a directory to bash and the invocation failed into the prose fallback — which reads as a working scan. Show the full assignment with the filename appended. - the api-key class matched only sk-, so Stripe sk_live_/rk_live_ keys scanned clean. Add stripe-key and name it in the fallback list. - bearer-token was case-sensitive, so 'authorization: bearer <token>' — an equally valid form, HTTP auth schemes being case-insensitive — scanned clean. Match the scheme in any casing. - nothing asserted that a rejected verdict omits the matched value, so an edit that echoed the match would keep every check green while putting the secret into the transcript the scan exists to keep it out of. Also: an unreadable stdin failed open (empty text scans clean); a quoted assignment value containing spaces never matched; and the class-name pin grepped all of reflect.md rather than the fallback paragraph the model actually applies when the script is unreachable.

…tions Two real defects, both found by the bot: - the no-leak assertion was a tautology. 'scan ... | grep -F hunter22' cannot carry it: scan exits 1 on a rejection, so under 'set -o pipefail' the pipeline is non-zero whether or not grep matched — the '&&' branch was unreachable and the check passed on a scan that echoed the secret in full. Capture stdout first, then grep the string. - key-assignment matched only bare lowercase keys, so the dominant config shapes — PASSWORD=, API_KEY=, client_secret=, access_token= — scanned clean. Match the key name case-insensitively and allow a prefix. The cost is that prose like 'the access_token= parameter' can fire; that is the safe direction, since a false positive skips a learning while a false negative publishes a secret. Also: GitLab glpat- and npm_ tokens added; an unreadable stdin now has a fixture (a directory on stdin); the class count became a floor so adding a class is not a four-site edit; and the fallback extraction now ends on the next paragraph's opening with a length assertion, so a reworded closing sentence cannot run it to EOF and re-create the whole-file false green it exists to prevent. Probed: echoing the match fails 19 checks, reverting the stdin guard fails 1, reverting the key pattern to lowercase-only fails 2.

…ecret-scan

Merging origin/master was CLEAN, and that was the failure: git folded this branch's four Unreleased bullets into the already-released v0.182.0 section, with no conflict marker and no heading change to notice. The placement assertion is what caught it (mine read 'sits under: ## v0.182.0'). Neither this branch's merge nor its work commit is in any tag, so the repair direction is 'back under ## Unreleased', never into a released section. Master's own 'feat:' bullet stays where it belongs in v0.182.0. Verified after the repair: mine under ## Unreleased, master's under ## v0.182.0, heading diff exactly '+## Unreleased', and the ^--[^-] completeness probe shows nothing dropped.

}

The CRITICAL was mine: the changelog pin asserted '## Unreleased', but this repo is autoRelease:true and the releaser RENAMES that heading, so the extraction goes empty and the pin would have failed 'make test' on master for every commit after the next release — a test I added would have broken the build. Scope it to the newest section whichever it is, and add the durable half against commands/reflect.md, which is the contract; the changelog bullet is a one-time record of it. Proven by simulation: renaming the heading to '## v0.185.0' in a copy leaves the new pin green while the old expression finds nothing. Also: - REFLECT_SCAN could resolve to /reflect-secret-scan.sh, where bash exits 127 printing nothing and 'no rejected line' read as clean. Add an [ -x ] guard and state that no output means the scan did not run. - key-assignment required the secret word to END the key, missing AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= and secret_key=; connection-string required a non-empty user, missing redis://:pass@host. - every fixture compared stdout only, so a scan that printed 'rejected' but exited 0 passed. Assert the exit contract in both directions. - name the line-oriented gap beside the base64url one in KNOWN LIMITATIONS.

Round 3's repair was still wrong, one step further out. Scoping the pin to the newest section only holds until the next PR opens a fresh '## Unreleased' above the renamed one. So: pin '## Unreleased' -> dies at the release; pin the newest section -> dies at the PR after it. Both were written here and both would have failed make test on master — a test added to guard the change, breaking the build once the change shipped. A changelog bullet is a one-time record and has no durable property to pin. Delete the pin; the contract lives in commands/reflect.md, whose 'reflect: failed — <reason>' pin is the durable half. Also: the three Phase 9.4 mutation controls now call one phase94_pin function — the pin's OWN expression — instead of restating its grep, so a later loosening of the real pin cannot leave its control green; and session-close.md's terminal-line enumeration gains the fourth form, 'reflect: failed — …', which the paragraph below it already records. Re-proved the three real-file mutations after the refactor: each still fails exactly its own pin.

Trivy's built-in allow rules appear to be path-scoped to `_test.go` (plus golangci/gitleaks config and a regex matching the literal `example`), which does not cover a `.sh` file — so these are likely to turn the secret scanner red.

The added test pins are sound and match the current prose, and the Makefile wiring and version alignment are fine. Two prose defects remain in the reflect/session-close contract: the NO-ASK scan snippet's single-quoted `$LEARNING_TEXT` is not quote-safe, so a learning containing an apostrophe can leave the scanner printing `secret-scan: clean` for text it never scanned (blocking, since this is the exact failure the PR exists to remove), and the new goal-anchored refused-exit panel still prints `session closed` while asserting the pane stays open.",

In both cases the scanner runs on text that is not the learning and prints `secret-scan: clean`, and under NO-ASK that learning is written — a credential leak via a scan that never inspected the text, the exact failure the PR claims to close.",
      "message": "Should Fix (Important): the snippet assigns the learning text in single quotes, so an apostrophe breaks the assignment. Because the prose says the scan runs once per learning (multiple learnings in one shell), a misparsed second assignment leaves `LEARNING_TEXT` holding the first learning's text and the scanner reports `secret-scan: clean` for a learning it never read. Use a quoted heredoc / stdin instead, e.g. `LEARNING_TEXT=$(cat <<'EOF' … EOF)` with the scan fed from a file, and reset the variable (`LEARNING_TEXT=`) before each learning so a failed assignment can never inherit the previous value. The `[ -n … ]` guard catches only the empty case, not a stale or truncated value."

The combined form should drop `— session closed` (e.g. `👤 You: nothing — exit refused`) so the panel is internally consistent when the exit was refused.

      "disposition": "not-an-issue",
      "detail": "The test resolves `ROOT=$(cd \"$(dirname \"$0\")/..\" && pwd)` and `cd`s there; it reads only its own fixtures and the scan script and carries no cross-script state. The Makefile invokes it as `@bash scripts/reflect-secret-scan-test.sh`."

      "concern": "docs: the REFLECT_SCAN resolver appends the filename to the newest plugin-cache scripts directory; when the glob matches nothing the path collapses to /reflect-secret-scan.sh. Verify the executable guard and the prose fallback are reachable, and that the mixed terminal line is defined for the fallback path too.",
      "disposition": "not-an-issue",
      "detail": "`[ -s file ] && [ -x \"$REFLECT_SCAN\" ] && bash …` short-circuits on the collapsed `/reflect-secret-scan.sh` (not executable) → no output → the 'silence is not a clean verdict' clause routes to the prose fallback. The mixed terminal-line vocabulary is defined independently of the scan path."
    },{
      "concern": "docs: the goal-anchored refused-exit panel now reads `nothing — exit refused`. Verify no other rule on the page still mandates `nothing — session closed` for that case and that the two carve-out blocks do not duplicate or contradict each other.",
      "disposition": "not-an-issue",
      "detail": "session-close.md:838 is the refused-exit goal-anchored panel (`nothing — exit refused`); the remaining `nothing — session closed` occurrences (lines 800 and 830) are the non-refused mode-2 and goal-anchored cases. The carve-out at line 816 states precedence and gives the combined `⏰ Next:` line; the later block defers to it."
    },{
      "concern": "docs: a new `## Unreleased` section is added above `## v0.184.1`. Confirm the placement matches the repo's autoRelease convention and that no released section was edited.",
      "disposition": "not-an-issue",
      "detail": "The diff inserts `## Unreleased` after the SemVer preamble and above `## v0.184.1`; no released section is modified. Bullets use conventional prefixes (`fix:`, `test:`), matching the autoRelease convention where the releaser converts Unreleased to vX.Y.Z post-merge."
