Summary

Implements a complete project secrets management system, allowing workflows to access credentials through a write-only API. Secrets can be shared at the project level or kept personal, and delivered to runs either as brokered (via egress proxy headers) or materialized (as environment variables).

Key Changes

Backend API (/projects/{projectId}/secrets)

  • New routes: GET /secrets (list), POST /secrets (create), GET /secrets/{secretId}, PATCH /secrets/{secretId} (rotate), DELETE /secrets/{secretId}
  • Write-only contract: No route returns secret values; responses contain only metadata (name, delivery mode, sharing scope, last delivered timestamp)
  • Delivery modes:
    • brokered (default): Injected as request headers by egress proxy, outside the VM
    • materialized: Real environment variables inside the box (extractable by design)
  • Sharing scopes: project (admin-managed) and user (personal, owner-only)
  • Cross-project scoping: Enforced in Convex via projectSecrets:getSecret getter

Runtime Integration

  • Secret delivery: fetchRuntimeSecrets() provides tri-state fetch (success/failure/no-secrets distinction)
  • Fingerprinting: deliveredSecretsFingerprint() included in harness runtime fingerprint to fork sessions on rotation
  • Materialized scrubbing: createSecretScrubber() removes registered secret values from transcripts while preserving unregistered strings
  • Environment variables: toSecretEnv() converts secrets to environment for materialized delivery

Client UI

  • ProjectSecretsSection: Full CRUD interface with create/rotate/delete dialogs
  • ProjectEnvironmentSecretsPicker: Multi-select for granting secrets to environments (max 50 per environment)
  • Personal secrets: Selectable and pinnable on shared environments; silently absent from other members' runs
  • Detached secrets: Selected IDs no longer returned by backend appear as detach-only rows

SDK & CLI

  • Platform operations: listSecretsOperation, getSecretOperation, createSecretOperation, updateSecretOperation, deleteSecretOperation
  • CLI commands: mcpjam cloud secrets set|show|list|delete|rotate with value input from file/env/stdin (never positional args)
  • Type exports: PlatformSecret, PlatformEnvironmentSecretSelection, SecretDelivery, SecretSharing

Testing & Validation

  • Write-only contract test: Asserts no value field in OpenAPI schemas, SDK types, and route DTOs
  • Secret scrubber tests: Validates registered values are removed while unregistered strings pass through
  • Runtime secrets tests: Confirms tri-state fetch and rotation fingerprint changes
  • Environment picker tests: Tests personal secret selection, detached rows, and null emission on clear

Documentation

  • Comprehensive JSDoc explaining write-only semantics, delivery modes, sharing scopes, and guest restrictions
  • OpenAPI schema updated with new /secrets endpoints and SecretPage schema
  • Agent operation registry includes new secret operations (read-only tier)

Notable Implementation Details

  • Values never stored in component state; cleared on successful submit
  • Personal secrets are owner-managed and always available (non-admins see the section)
  • Materialized secrets require explicit scrubbing from transcripts to prevent leakage
  • Rotation changes harness fingerprint to fork resumable sessions
  • Backend enforces scope rules in Convex, not in route handlers

Note

High Risk
Changes touch credential storage, delivery modes (brokered vs materialized), environment grants, and agent/CLI exposure boundaries; mistakes could leak secrets or grant credentials to the wrong runs.

Overview
Introduces write-only project secrets end-to-end: credentials are stored and granted to runs, but no surface lists or returns the value after create.

API & environments — OpenAPI adds /projects/{projectId}/secrets CRUD plus EnvironmentSecretSelection on environment create/update schemas (explicit secret IDs only; null revokes). CLImcpjam cloud secrets (list, show, set, update, rm) under the eval/environments group, with values from --value-file, --value-env, or stdin (files verbatim; stdin strips one trailing newline). Inputs are validated via SDK operation schemas. MCPlist_secrets, get_secret, and delete_secret join the catalog; create_secret / update_secret stay excluded so plaintext never crosses model context. InspectorProjectSecretsSection in project settings and ProjectEnvironmentSecretsPicker in the environment editor (personal secrets selectable, orphan detach rows, clear → null). Convex hooks/actions mirror metadata-only reads and Node actions for writes. A chat notice warns when materialized secrets are not delivered without a provisioned sandbox.

Summary by cubic

Adds write-only project secrets so runs receive credentials through either egress proxy headers or environment variables, with no API route, CLI command, or SDK method ever returning a value.

New /projects/{projectId}/secrets routes (list, create, get, rotate, delete) return only metadata — name, delivery mode, sharing scope, last delivered timestamp. delivery is required: brokered injects request headers outside the VM, materialized creates a real environment variable that is extractable by design. Secrets are shared at the project level or kept personal to their owner, and the routes deny guests.

Runtime delivery and scrubbing

  • Materialized values are exported into sandbox-session environments and scrubbed from persisted transcripts — exact matches, JSON-escaped forms, and object keys, including __proto__ keys. Scrubbing serialized JSON matches escaped forms only, so a value can't corrupt a document's structure. Values under 8 characters are not scrubbed (it would rewrite unrelated text), and both create and rotate dialogs warn about this for materialized delivery when a non-empty value is typed.
  • Turns with no project-provisioned sandbox cannot receive materialized secrets; instead of dropping them silently, the chat now surfaces a secrets_undelivered notice via toast, model context, and a count-only log event. Harness turns and brokered-only environments don't trigger it.
  • Rotation forks resumable sessions via a fingerprint of each secret's updatedAt, never its value, which would persist as a scoring oracle; env-backed scenario turns now resolve secrets like environment turns do.
  • mcpjam cloud secrets takes values from a file, env var, or stdin — never a positional argument. Files are read verbatim; only stdin loses a trailing newline. It supports --clear-description.
  • Deleting is hard and not blocked by environments still selecting it; the dialog names them. No dialog leaves a typed value behind — writes that settle after a close-and-reopen are discarded rather than landing on another secret, and closing mid-write clears the busy state so the reused dialog reopens usable.

Where writes are blocked

  • Create and rotate are excluded from the MCP catalog, agent registry, and workspace tools because their input carries plaintext; delete_secret stays in the catalog so a leaked credential can be revoked unattended.
  • The environment editor grants up to 50 secrets per environment; clearing the last selection emits null (revoke), and personal secrets from other members are absent.
  • The UI adds a secrets section to project settings and a grant picker to the environment editor, with values never stored in component state past submit.

Also replaces the SDK platform client's quadratic regex when stripping trailing slashes from a base URL (CodeQL js/polynomial-redos) with a linear backscan.

…ranscript

Two halves of one change, because shipping either alone is worse than shipping
neither: delivery without scrubbing writes credentials into transcripts, and
scrubbing without delivery has nothing to scrub.

The scrubber replaces EXACT KNOWN VALUES — the pairs this turn actually
fetched — with `[secret:NAME]`. Not a heuristic: `log-scrubber.ts` already
guesses by key name and value shape, and chat-session tool payloads are
unredacted BY DESIGN, which is right (an agent debugging its own server needs
the raw result) and exactly why a known value needs a different tool. It runs
on the serialized ingest body rather than field by field: that options object
grows a payload-bearing field every few releases, and a per-field list is one
somebody forgets to extend. It searches both the raw and JSON-escaped form, so
a value carrying a quote or a newline is found either way.

It is a second line of defence and says so. Materialized delivery is
extractable by design — an agent can base64 a value across two tool calls —
and no post-hoc scrubber fixes that. What it fixes is the accidental case: a
command that echoes its environment, a client that logs its own headers.

Delivery is one fetch per turn, in the route, because three consumers need the
same list: the emulated `bash` tool's env, the harness session's env bag, and
the scrubber registry. Three fetches would be three KMS decrypts and a window
where the registry is missing a value the box already has — values delivered
but unregistered are values written verbatim.

Sandbox bindings only. The local runner executes on the user's own machine
behind an env allowlist and the remote data plane would carry the value in a
request body to a plane that is not this box's; the registry reads `secretEnv`
inside its `sandboxBinding` branch so a stray value elsewhere is inert.
Everything travels in `envs`, never in a command string — argv is readable
through `/proc` and lands in shell history.

Rotation forks a resumable session. A resumed harness session reattaches to a
bridge holding the environment it was created with — the exact failure the
`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` compat bump was minted for — so the delivered set is
fingerprinted into `harnessRuntimeFingerprint` as a digest, never a value. A
fetch failure omits the dimension rather than sending empty: omitted resumes,
empty would read as "the secrets were removed" and cold-start over a blip.

Tri-state throughout: `{ok:false}` is never `[]`. A Convex blip that read as
"no secrets" would strip a working session's credentials and leave the user
watching a command fail with nothing changed on their side.

`PtyBaseOpts` gains `envs` but nothing wires it. The only PTY routes today are
persistent-computer terminals, and a persistent computer has no stable binding
to one environment — the backend resolver refuses to invent one, so this side
does not either.

Five routes, and none of them returns a value. That is the contract, not a
default: the DTO has no such field, the Convex functions behind it have no
code path that produces one, and the only things that decrypt write into a
sandbox's environment or an egress policy and hand nothing back. The test
asserts on the response SCHEMA rather than a sample body, in all three places
the promise is written down (OpenAPI, the SDK type, the route's own mapper) —
a sample body only proves what one fixture happened not to contain.

Cross-project scoping is enforced in Convex, not here. `personas.ts`'s header
apologizes for its list-and-scan preflight and names the fix; that scoped
getter was built up front, so every by-id route is one read with one decision
and this file holds no copy of the rule to drift from.

`delivery` is required with no default. A caller who has not said whether the
value ends up inside the sandbox has not made the decision the field exists
for. The broker triple is required iff brokered, checked in both directions:
a brokered row missing it delivers nothing silently, and a materialized row
carrying it tells every reader the value is proxy-injected when it is an env
var in the box.

`name` and `sharing` are immutable, and their absence from PATCH is the
contract. Renaming breaks the workflows that reference the environment
variable; re-sharing changes who has been handed the value without changing
the value.

The two write ops are excluded from the MCP catalog, the agent registry and
the workspace tools — and not for risk appetite. Their INPUT carries the
plaintext, so it would transit model context and land in a transcript before
any approval card could render, and an approval that fires after the value is
logged is not one. No tier fixes that; only keeping them off those surfaces
does. `TIER_EXCEPTIONS` records the deviation from the risk derivation with
that reasoning, since exposure would otherwise derive `gated`.

The CLI takes the value from a file, an env var, or stdin. `--value <literal>`
exists for scripting and is documented with the caveat rather than quietly
available: an argv token is written to shell history, is readable in `/proc`
for the life of the command, and lands in CI logs that echo their commands.

DELETE is hard and is not blocked when an environment still selects the
secret. Refusing would make a leaked credential un-revokable until someone
edited every environment naming it; revocation never waits on cleanup.

`secretSelection` joins the environment PATCH's tri-state and its `.refine`
list — the field where "unclearable" would have meant a credential grant that
can only ever grow.

Two surfaces. A Secrets section in project settings, where credentials are
created, rotated and revoked; and a picker on the environment editor, where an
environment says which of them its runs receive.

Neither shows a value, and no state in either holds one past a submit. The
create and rotate dialogs clear their field on success and say plainly that it
cannot be read back — a masked field that looks like it is holding something
invites people to come back looking for it.

The delivery radio is the point of the create form, so it says what each mode
actually does where the choice is made: brokered is invisible to `echo $NAME`
and unreadable by a CLI; materialized is printed by `env`. Picking wrong
produces a workflow that silently does not work, and neither option is simply
"more secure" than the other.

Personal secrets are selectable in the environment picker — unlike skills,
which refuse them outright. That is the motivating workflow: your session gets
your key, a teammate's session of the same environment does not. The "only
your sessions" chip says so at the point of selection, because discovering it
from a teammate's failing run is the bad version. Another member's personal
secret cannot appear at all; the query does not return it.

Clearing the last selection emits `null`, not `[]` — `[]` fails the save, and
`null` is what revokes the grant. A selected id the query never returns gets a
detach-only row, or it would be invisible, unremovable, and still shipped on
every save.

Delete names the environments that stop delivering the secret, as information
rather than a blocker: revocation is never gated on cleanup, and someone
revoking a leaked credential must not be told to go edit five environments
first.

The harness turn no longer fetches its own secrets. Delivering a value and
scrubbing it from the transcript are two uses of one list, and only the caller
— which builds the persist callback — can wire the second; a turn that fetched
for itself would put the value in the box and then persist it verbatim, which
is worse than delivering none. A caller that has not wired secrets now
delivers none, and the runtime fingerprint omits the dimension so those
sessions keep resuming.

A prettier glob in the previous commit was wider than the files it needed to
touch. These nine test files are untouched by this effort; reverting them
keeps the diff to what the change is actually about.

Walkthrough

This change adds write-only project-secret CRUD across the API, SDK, CLI, and inspector. Environments can select explicit secret IDs and revoke grants with null. Materialized secrets can reach E2B sandbox commands through session environments. Runtime fingerprints change when delivered values change. Chat persistence and live tool-call payloads redact registered secret values. MCP and agent catalogs expose metadata reads while excluding plaintext writes and destructive deletion. Tests cover validation, routing, catalog registration, environment selection, runtime handling, and redaction.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 18ca0

This PR adds project-secret storage and runtime delivery, but materialized secrets shorter than eight characters can be persisted in transcripts and rotated credentials remain usable by active sessions; the SDK and MCP contracts also retain documented integration gaps. Merge should wait for security and contract-owner review.

Not applying this in this PR, but flagging it as a real repo-wide question rather than dismissing it.

Both halves land on code this PR doesn't touch:

  • inspectApiUrl is verbatim in main and shared by every mcpjam cloud command. It accepts http: deliberately — that's how the CLI is pointed at a local dev server. Rejecting it here would break localhost development for all cloud commands, not just secrets.
  • redirect on PlatformApiClient is the shared transport for every platform operation.

And the bearer credential already crosses that same transport on every existing command — cloud login, cloud projects list, all of them — so http: carrying a credential is the current posture repo-wide, not something secrets introduced. What secrets add is a second sensitive item in the body over a transport that was already carrying one.

That makes it a policy change for the whole CLI, which I don't think should ride in on a secrets PR and be discovered later by someone whose localhost workflow stopped working. Worth its own change, and I'd suggest: keep http: allowed for loopback hosts only, reject it otherwise, and set redirect: "error" on the shared client — a redirect on a platform API call is a misconfiguration in every case I can find, so failing closed costs nothing.

Happy to open that as a follow-up if you want it; say the word and I'll do it as a separate PR.

@chelojimenez, agreed. This is a valid repository-wide transport policy change, not a secrets-specific fix.

A follow-up should preserve http: only for loopback development endpoints, reject other cleartext endpoints, and set redirect: "error" in PlatformApiClient. Please open that as a separate issue or PR so the localhost compatibility contract is explicit and can receive full CLI coverage.

Learning: In the MCPJam Inspector CLI, `inspectApiUrl` deliberately accepts `http:` URLs for local development servers, and it is shared by all `mcpjam cloud` commands. Any HTTPS enforcement must be a repository-wide policy change that preserves loopback localhost workflows rather than a secrets-command-only change.

CodeQL flags the constructor's `replace(/\/+$/, "")` as

Two red checks on ac4ff01, neither introduced by this branch. Pushed 8c19474 for the one that's fixable here.

P1 Badge Resolve secrets for scenario-backed environments

For an environment-backed scenario, the environment is stored in scenarioEnvironment, while environmentSpec remains null. This conditional therefore omits environmentId, causing fetchRuntimeSecrets to return a successful empty list; that empty list is then passed to both the emulated bash tool and the harness, so every materialized secret selected by the scenario's environment is silently unavailable. Use the scenario environment reference here as well, as the server/skill resolution above already does.

Already fixed in 24071b1 — same finding CodeRabbit raised on this line, and you're both right about the mechanism and the consequence.

fetchRuntimeSecrets now takes its id from environmentServers (the environmentSpec ?? scenarioEnvironment computed a few hundred lines above), which is exactly the "as the server/skill resolution above already does" you pointed at. Secrets were the only one of the three reading environmentSpec directly.

Two are credential exposures, and both turn on an assumption that reads as
safe and is not.

FINGERPRINT. `deliveredSecretsFingerprint` hashed the delivered VALUES to
decide whether a resumable session had to fork, and that number is persisted
in harness session state. Anything derived from a credential and then stored
is a scoring oracle: a reader who knows the secret name and the rest of the
runtime config can rank guesses offline until one matches. Nothing for a
credential with real entropy; a working attack on the PIN or short password
someone stored here anyway. Folding it into a second unsalted hash does not
remove it. The backend now sends each row's `updatedAt` (d97f3fb) and the
fingerprint uses that: it moves on exactly the event that must fork a session
and says nothing about the value. A backend without the marker degrades to a
name-only identity -- sessions keep resuming, rotation stops forking until it
ships -- which is the rule brokered secrets already live under permanently.

SCRUBBER KEYS. `scrubDeep` rewrote values and left object KEYS alone, on the
reasoning that a key is a field name and no payload builds one from a
credential. The producers are third-party MCP servers, so that is not a
property this process can assert about code it did not write: a tool that
groups by API key or echoes a header map puts the credential in key position
and it reached the transcript in plaintext. Keys go through the same scrub.
A key holding no registered value comes back unchanged, so ordinary payloads
keep their exact shape.

SCENARIO SECRETS. chat-v2 read only `environmentSpec`, so an ENV-BACKED
SCENARIO turn -- which resolves into `scenarioEnvironment`, as the server set
and the skill union above it already account for -- received no secrets at
all, silently. Now uses the same `environmentServers` those two use.

CANCELLED DIALOGS. Radix fires `onOpenChange` for user-initiated closes but
not for one driven by the `open` prop, so the Cancel buttons bypassed the
reset and left the typed value in state. The rotate dialog is one instance
reused for every row, so the next open showed that value pre-filled against
whichever secret was picked then, with Rotate enabled -- a rotation of the
wrong credential, committed by someone who typed nothing. Both dialogs now
close through one path. Three of the six new tests fail without the fix.

CLEARING A DESCRIPTION. The REST route and the SDK client have accepted
`description: null` since this resource shipped; the operation schema was
string-only, so CLI and SDK callers could set a description and never remove
it. Adds `.nullable()` and `--clear-description`, spelled like the
`--clear-model` it sits beside.

Two further findings were not applied, with reasons on the PR: HTTPS-only
plus `redirect: "error"` for CLI writes (pre-existing repo-wide transport
policy, and rejecting `http:` breaks localhost dev for every cloud command),
and dropping `delete_secret` from the MCP catalog (the contract excludes the
two writes that carry a plaintext; revoking a leaked credential carries none
and is the thing an unattended caller most needs).

Preview watchdog

The "preview requested" state has been stuck for ~37 minutes.
The backend callback probably dropped (token expired, dispatch failed, or the backend job crashed).

Recover: re-run the upsert-preview workflow for this PR, or push an empty commit.

Watchdog runs every 15 minutes; this comment updates in place when conditions change.

Both from CodeRabbit's review of the previous commit, both confirmed against
the code first.

STALE MUTATION COMPLETIONS. Only the Cancel BUTTON is disabled while a write
is in flight -- Escape and the overlay still close the dialog -- so a create
or rotate can settle after the dialog has been closed and reopened. Its late
`reset()` would wipe what the user had since typed, and its late `setError`
would blame a secret they had not tried yet. The rotate dialog is one
instance serving every row, so that lands on a DIFFERENT credential than the
one the write belonged to.

Both dialogs now carry an `attempt` ref: `close()` bumps it, `submit()`
captures it, and every post-await state write is gated on still owning it.
The request itself is deliberately not cancelled -- closing a dialog does not
cancel an HTTP call, and a create that reached the backend must not be
presented as though it had not -- so the guard sits on the state writes.

CodeRabbit was also right that the previous error test proved nothing: an
already-rejected promise plus a click on a disabled button exercises none of
this. Replaced with two deferred-promise tests that close through Escape and
reopen against the other secret, one for the late rejection and one for the
late resolution, since the success path is the more destructive of the two.

OWN `__proto__` KEYS. `out[key] = value` hands a `__proto__` key to the
prototype SETTER rather than creating a property: the field disappears AND
the result stops being a plain object, which `scrubDeep`'s own
`proto !== Object.prototype` guard would then use to skip that subtree
wholesale. Legal JSON, and entirely emittable by a third-party MCP server.
Reconstruction goes through `Object.defineProperty`. The regression test
builds its input with `JSON.parse`, since an object literal cannot produce an
own `__proto__` key and would have tested nothing.

All four new tests verified to fail against the pre-fix code.

You have reached your Codex usage limits for code reviews. You can see your limits in the Codex usage dashboard.

The previous commit put the "too short to be redacted" warning on the create
form only, which left rotation as the silent route -- and rotation is the one
where nobody is re-reading the delivery explanation, because they came to
replace a value rather than to decide how it is delivered.

Rather than repeat the JSX, both forms now render one `ShortValueWarning`.
Two copies of a rule is exactly the shape that let `applyNetworkPolicy` and
`clearNetworkPolicy` drift apart earlier in this branch; a component cannot
drift from itself.

The rotate dialog already knows `secret.delivery`, so the brokered case stays
silent there for the same reason it does on create: that value never enters
the box, so there is nothing the transcript scrubber could have missed.

Two tests, the materialized one verified to fail without the fix.

Test the empty materialized value path.

ShortValueWarning has a separate empty-value branch. Add an assertion after clearing rotateField() that the warning is absent. This verifies that a cleared value does not retain the warning.

As per coding guidelines, mcpjam-inspector/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx} changes should include tests for edge cases such as null and empty values.

`ShortValueWarning` returns null for an empty value as well as for a long
one, and only the long case was tested. The empty case has to stay silent for
a different reason: an empty field is someone who has not typed a value yet,
not someone about to save an unscrubbable one, and warning there would put a
red box on every freshly-opened rotate dialog.

P1 Badge Key the idempotency fingerprint

When a create request includes an idempotency key and the secret is a PIN, password, or other low-entropy value, pre-hashing the value and then storing a hash of the complete request remains a deterministic offline oracle: someone with the idempotency metadata can apply both public hashes to guesses and compare the result. Fresh evidence beyond the resolved runtime-fingerprint issue is this independent persisted idempotency fingerprint, which explicitly relies on rehashing for protection; use a server-keyed HMAC for the value-dependent component instead.

You're right, and this one my own comment actively defended — it claimed that hashing the value first meant "confirming a guess costs the same work as attacking the secret directly, so the row leaks nothing the attacker did not already have."

That's false, and the way it's false is the point. SHA-256 is public, so sha256(sha256(value)) is a function anyone can evaluate. Someone holding a database dump has only KMS-encrypted ciphertext, which they cannot test a guess against at all — until the fingerprint sitting beside it hands them the verification step, at two hashes per guess. Against a PIN or a short password that's the entire attack, defeating the encrypted store with a field stored right next to it.

Fixed in backend 91907a0. keyedValueDigest HMACs the value under a key that lives in deployment configuration and never in the database, which is the property the old comment asserted. The purpose string isolates this population from the other consumers of the same secret, following the harnessMcpProxyToken convention.

One consequence worth flagging: a deployment without that key now refuses an Idempotency-Key on secret writes rather than storing an unkeyed digest. Falling back would reintroduce exactly what this removes. Creating secrets without the header is unaffected.

Five tests. The load-bearing one asserts the digest equals neither sha256(value) nor sha256(sha256(value)) — that it really is keyed — plus determinism under one key (a legitimate retry must still match, or the guard rejects every honest retry) and the fail-closed path.

P1 Badge Deliver materialized secrets to environment-backed evals

For a harness-backed eval launched from an environment that selects a materialized secret, this always resolves to null: the checked hosted-eval path in server/services/evals/drive-hosted-eval-turn.ts calls runAssistantTurn, whose options expose neither environmentId nor runtimeSecrets, so it cannot supply this override. The eval sandbox consequently receives no secret environment variables, causing secret-dependent experiments to fail or record invalid results even though the environment contract says its runs receive the selected credentials; resolve the environment's secrets in the eval caller and pass the same list into both sandbox delivery and transcript scrubbing.

Verified, and it's a real gap — but a larger one than I should push into this PR unannounced, so I'm raising it with a proposal instead.

Confirmed. drive-hosted-eval-turn.ts has no reference to an environment or to secrets, and runHarnessTurn takes runtimeSecretsOverride from its caller only. So an env-backed eval receives no materialized secrets.

The sharpest part is one you didn't mention: brokered secrets already work for evals. The backend resolver has an explicit eval join (runIdtestSuiteRun.configSnapshot.environmentRef in projectSecretsEgress.ts), so an eval box gets its brokered headers. Only materialized delivery is missing. That asymmetry is worse than a uniform gap — the same environment behaves differently depending on a delivery mode chosen for unrelated reasons.

Why I'm not fixing it here. The chat-v2 gap you and CodeRabbit both caught was a one-line change: the environment was already resolved a few hundred lines above. This one isn't. It needs three seams:

  1. resolving the eval's environment on a path that currently resolves none,
  2. threading a secrets list through runAssistantTurn — a shared facade serving both the emulated and harness runners — which today exposes neither environmentId nor runtimeSecrets,
  3. wiring the scrubber into the eval transcript persist path, because delivering a value and scrubbing it must come from one read. Delivering without scrubbing would put the credential in the box and then write it verbatim into the eval transcript, which is worse than delivering none.

That's a feature increment comparable to the original runtime-delivery work, on a PR that's currently green and waiting on review. Landing it silently would also mean a security-relevant path (3) getting no review attention of its own.

Proposal, if the author wants it in this PR — say the word and I'll do it:

  • add environmentId + runtimeSecrets to runAssistantTurn's options, forwarded to runHarnessTurn exactly as chat-v2 does;
  • resolve the eval's environment from the run's configSnapshot.environmentRef — the same reference the backend brokered path already keys on, so the two modes agree by construction rather than by coincidence;
  • build the scrubber from that one fetched list and hand it to the eval persist callback;
  • test the env-backed eval path end to end, plus a regression that brokered and materialized resolve the same environment.

The current behaviour is fail-closed (no secrets, not wrong secrets), so nothing leaks in the meantime — but you're right that a secret-dependent eval will fail or record invalid results, and the environment contract implies otherwise.

P2 Badge Preserve trailing newlines from value files

When --value-file points to a credential whose final LF is part of the value, this unconditional replacement silently stores a different secret. The REST value schema deliberately preserves whitespace for newline-sensitive credentials, and --value-env does too, so file-based creation or rotation should read the file verbatim; newline normalization should be limited to an explicitly documented stdin convenience, if retained at all.

Confirmed and fixed in e2e1a22. This is the failure the backend's own validateSecretValue comment warns about, and I wrote it into the CLI anyway:

NOT trimmed. A trailing newline is meaningful in some credentials (PEM blocks), and silently rewriting a value the user pasted is the one class of bug that presents as "the API key is wrong" with nothing to look at.

--value-file key.pem was storing a different secret than the file holds, and the inconsistency you point at is the giveaway — the REST schema preserves whitespace, --value-env preserves whitespace, and only the file path didn't.

Took your suggested split. A real file is read verbatim; only stdin loses one trailing newline, because there it's almost always the shell's rather than the credential's (echo tok | mcpjam … is the dominant idiom). That includes --value-file -, which is stdin wearing the file flag. Both flag descriptions now say which they are, so the convenience is documented rather than a surprise.

Four tests: a PEM block round-trips byte-for-byte through --value-file, a lone trailing newline survives, a newline-free value is untouched, and --value-env still preserves whitespace so the three sources agree. Two of them fail with the old unconditional strip.

P2 Badge Avoid raw replacement in serialized ingest JSON

When a valid secret contains JSON punctuation, registering its raw form can match the serialized body's structure even when the value is not present, corrupting the ingest payload. For example, a secret equal to ","foo": transforms {"a":"","foo":"x"} into invalid JSON when buildIngestBody passes the serialized body through scrubString. The serialized-body pass should search only the JSON-escaped form, or scrub the object before serialization.

Confirmed and fixed in e2e1a22. Your example reproduces exactly — I used it as the test.

The reasoning that convinced me is stronger than "it can collide": inside a serialized JSON document the raw form of a value can never find real content, because content there is escaped by definition. So on that pass the raw needle has no upside at all and only the structural-collision downside. {"a":"","foo":"x"} genuinely contains ","foo": as punctuation, and replacing it produces invalid JSON out of a payload that never held the secret.

scrubSerializedJson searches escaped forms only, and buildIngestBody uses it. scrubString is unchanged for plain strings, where the raw form is precisely what's needed.

I kept the pass after serialization rather than moving it before, which was your other option. The reason is in the surrounding comment and still holds: scrubDeep deliberately passes non-plain objects (Date, typed arrays) through by identity, so the serialized sweep is the safety net for anything the object walk declines to rebuild. Making that sweep escaped-only fixes the corruption without giving up the net.

Three tests: your corruption case, a guard-the-guard that a real value is still redacted from serialized JSON, and a newline-bearing credential found in escaped form — that last one is why the escaped needle exists and had to keep working.

P2 Badge Preserve continuity when the secrets fetch fails

On a resumed harness conversation that previously delivered at least one materialized secret, a transient secrets fetch failure makes runtimeSecrets null and therefore removes the secret dimension from the newly computed opaque runtimeFingerprint. Because claimHarnessSessionState receives only that complete fingerprint, it differs from the stored fingerprint and reports fingerprintChanged, cold-starting the harness without its credentials rather than preserving prior state as the surrounding comments claim. Failure needs to reuse the stored fingerprint dimension or fail the turn instead of hashing a different runtime.

Verified, and you've caught the tri-state defeating its own purpose. Raising rather than fixing, because the clean fix is a contract change — same handling as the two other deferred items on these PRs.

You're right, and the comment right above the code is wrong. It says omitting the dimension "leaves the fingerprint exactly where it was and the session resumes." That's true only for a session that never delivered secrets. A session that did stored a fingerprint including secretsHash; omitting it on the failure turn produces a different fingerprint, claimHarnessSessionState reports fingerprintChanged, and the conversation cold-starts.

Which makes the outcome worse than the case the tri-state was built to avoid. I introduced { ok: false } ≠ [] precisely so a transient Convex failure wouldn't strip a running session's credentials — and the fingerprint then throws away the conversation as well as the credentials.

Why I'm not patching it here. Both of your suggested repairs have a problem at this layer:

  • Fail the turn{ ok: false } means a genuine backend error, and this code runs for any turn with an environment. A hiccup in the secrets resolver would then fail harness turns for projects that use no secrets at all. Trading a rare bad resume for a broad new outage isn't obviously the better deal.
  • Reuse the stored dimension — correct, but the stored fingerprint lives behind claimHarnessSessionState, which today receives one opaque value and answers changed/unchanged. Reusing a dimension means teaching that call about "this dimension is UNKNOWN this turn, treat it as unchanged" — a contract change to harness continuity, which is shared machinery well outside secrets.

The second is the right end state, and I'd rather the author sized it than have me reshape a shared continuity contract inside a green secrets PR. Say the word and I'll do it.

Meanwhile the failure mode is bounded: the box gets no secrets and the conversation restarts, so nothing is delivered incorrectly and nothing leaks — it's lost continuity plus a credential-less turn, which is visible rather than silent.

That's now three items awaiting a call on these PRs: this, materialized secrets for env-backed evals, and binding scenario grants to the provisioned scenario. All three have proposals written on their threads.

…ubbing

Two more from Codex, both mine.

A VALUE FILE LOST ITS TRAILING NEWLINE. `--value-file` stripped one
unconditionally, so `--value-file key.pem` stored a DIFFERENT secret than the
file holds -- a PEM block's final LF is part of the credential. That is
exactly the failure the backend's own `validateSecretValue` comment warns
about: it surfaces much later as "the API key is wrong" with nothing to look
at. The REST schema and `--value-env` both preserve whitespace, so a file has
to agree with them.

A real file is now read verbatim; only STDIN loses one trailing newline,
because there it is almost always the shell's rather than the credential's
(`echo tok | mcpjam ...`), and both flags say so.

SCRUBBING A SERIALIZED DOCUMENT MATCHED ITS PUNCTUATION. `buildIngestBody`
scrubs after `JSON.stringify`, and the scrubber searches both the raw and the
escaped form of every value. Inside serialized JSON the raw form cannot find
real content -- content there is escaped by definition -- but it CAN match
the document's own structure. A secret equal to `","foo":` turns
`{"a":"","foo":"x"}` into invalid JSON, corrupting a payload that never
contained the secret.

The serialized pass now searches escaped forms only, through a separate
`scrubSerializedJson`. `scrubString` is unchanged for plain strings, where
the raw form is exactly what is needed. Keeping the pass after serialization
still matters: it is the safety net for the non-plain objects `scrubDeep`
deliberately passes through by identity.

Six tests, verified to fail without the fixes -- including Codex's own
corruption example, and a guard-the-guard that a real value is still redacted
from serialized JSON in its escaped form.

P1 Badge Deliver secrets to direct environment chat commands

Distinct from the already-reported eval gap, a non-scenario, non-harness chat launched from a Project Environment never populates sandboxBinding, because planScenarioSandbox only provisions scenario sessions. resolveHostTools consequently selects the personal/remote bash path, where the registry explicitly ignores secretEnv, so a selected materialized secret never reaches the command environment even though it was fetched successfully. Secret-dependent direct experiments therefore fail silently; either provide a safely bound sandbox for this path or reject/surface the unsupported grant.

Confirmed, and addressed in 46a29bc — though the fix is the second half of what you offered, and it's worth saying why.

The mechanism is exactly as you describe. planScenarioSandbox provisions for scenario sessions only, so a direct environment chat never gets a sandboxBinding; resolveHostTools reads secretEnv exclusively inside that branch, so the value is fetched, decrypted, handed over and dropped.

The drop is correct and stays. A materialized value becomes a real environment variable in whatever box runs the command, and the only boxes allowed to hold a project's credential are the ones the project provisioned. A direct chat's bash runs on the member's own machine or a shared remote runner — putting a project credential there would leak it onto hardware the project does not control, which is exactly what the registry's sandboxBinding-only rule exists to prevent. So "provide a safely bound sandbox for this path" would mean provisioning a paid box for every direct environment chat that happens to select a secret: an architectural decision, not a bug fix.

What was actually broken is that it was silent — your "fail silently" is the whole finding. Rejecting the turn was the other option and I didn't take it: the conversation is still useful without the credential, and failing it would punish someone whose environment merely has a materialized secret they weren't about to use. So it surfaces instead, through the mechanism the codebase already has for this: a fourth SandboxNoticeReason, secrets_undelivered, inspector-minted exactly like sandbox_unavailable — no backing Convex row, nothing to ack, so it stays out of the peek/ack protocol.

It reaches all three audiences the existing reasons do: an SSE toast, model-facing system-prompt context, and a typed chat.secrets.undelivered event. Two details there were deliberate:

  • The model copy tells it not to route around the refusal by asking the user to paste a credential into the chat. That is the obvious thing a helpful model does when a tool reports a missing secret, and it would put the plaintext straight into the transcript — recreating the exact leak that keeps create_secret/update_secret out of the MCP catalog.
  • The log event carries a count only, never a name and never a value. A name is not itself a secret, but that row would sit one scrubber miss away from being the leak the feature exists to prevent, and the operational question — "is anyone selecting materialized secrets on a path that cannot use them?" — is fully answered by a number.

Two exclusions, both load-bearing rather than defensive. Harness turns are unaffected: run-harness-turn fetches its own secrets and delivers them as sessionEnv with no sandboxBinding involved, so keying the warning on the binding alone would fire on every harness turn — the loudest possible false alarm, on the path where delivery actually works. And turns with no materialized secrets, which is nearly all of them and includes every brokered-only environment, since brokered values are injected outside the box and never enter secretEnv.

The decision is a pure predicate beside planScenarioSandbox, for the reason that one is pure: the effect is a single assignment, while getting the condition wrong is either a false alarm on every harness turn or silence on the case that needs the warning. Each of its three guards is verified load-bearing — removing any one fails exactly one test and no others. 3,297 inspector server tests green; client typecheck passes.

Codex's finding on e2e1a22, and distinct from the eval gap already raised: a
direct (non-scenario) chat launched from a Project Environment never gets a
`sandboxBinding`, because `planScenarioSandbox` provisions for scenario
sessions only. `resolveHostTools` then reads `secretEnv` nowhere — it consults
it exclusively inside its `sandboxBinding` branch — so a selected materialized
secret is fetched, decrypted, handed over, and discarded.

The drop is correct and stays. A materialized value becomes a real environment
variable in whatever box runs the command, and the only boxes allowed to hold a
project's credential are the ones the project provisioned. A direct chat's bash
runs on the member's own machine or a shared remote runner, so delivering there
would put the project's credential on hardware the project does not control —
which is precisely what the registry's `sandboxBinding`-only rule exists to
prevent.

What was wrong is that it happened in silence. Nothing told the tester, the
model, or the logs. Someone who selects `STRIPE_API_KEY`, watches `stripe`
return 401, and can still see the secret listed in the environment editor has
no way to discover that the value was deliberately withheld. Codex offered
"provide a safely bound sandbox for this path or reject/surface the unsupported
grant"; providing a sandbox is an architectural change and rejecting would fail
turns that are otherwise useful, so this narrates it.

A fourth `SandboxNoticeReason`, `secrets_undelivered`, minted by the INSPECTOR
exactly like `sandbox_unavailable` — no backing Convex row, nothing to ack, so
it stays out of the peek/ack protocol. It reaches all three audiences the
existing reasons do: an SSE toast, model-facing system-prompt context that
tells the model not to route around it by asking the user to paste a credential
into the chat, and a new typed `chat.secrets.undelivered` event (declared in
`log-events.ts` and listed in `LOGGING.md`, per the route logging convention)
carrying a COUNT only — never a name and never a value.

Two exclusions, both load-bearing rather than defensive:
- HARNESS turns, which are unaffected — `run-harness-turn` fetches its own
  secrets and delivers them as `sessionEnv`, with no `sandboxBinding` involved.
  Keying the warning on the binding alone would fire on every harness turn, a
  false alarm on the path where delivery actually works.
- Turns with NO materialized secrets, which is nearly all of them, and includes
  every brokered-only environment: brokered values are injected outside the box
  and never enter `secretEnv` at all.

The decision is a pure predicate next to `planScenarioSandbox`, for the reason
that one is pure: the effect is a single assignment, while getting the
condition wrong is either a false alarm on every harness turn or silence on the
case that needs the warning. Each of its three guards is verified load-bearing
— removing any one fails exactly one test and no others.

Client typecheck passes; the server tsconfig's error count is unchanged by this
diff. 3,297 inspector server tests green.
