GraceSolutions 77cb03ec98 feat: add Organization/Sub-Organization CRUD cmdlets and Get-InfisicalSANList
Adds 8 cmdlets for Organization and Sub-Organization CRUD (Get/New/Update/Remove for each), targeting /api/v2/organizations and /api/v1/sub-organizations. Get cmdlets default to List parameter set and switch to Single when -OrganizationId or -SubOrganizationId is supplied. New/Update/Remove honor -WhatIf/-Confirm; Remove defaults to High ConfirmImpact and supports -PassThru. No project context required.

Adds Get-InfisicalSANList: emits a deduplicated SAN candidate set containing the local device name, the device name suffixed with each non-empty DNS suffix found across operational adapters and the system primary domain, every IPv4 unicast address falling within RFC 1918 or CGNAT, and the IPv4/IPv6 loopback addresses. Supports optional case-insensitive -InclusionExpression and -ExclusionExpression regex filters applied in fetch -> include -> exclude -> output order. Output is a single strongly-typed System.String[] array emitted non-enumerated so List<string>.AddRange consumes it directly.

Registers 10 new endpoints, adds InfisicalOrganization/InfisicalSubOrganization models with DTOs, mappers, and clients, full MAML help for all 9 new cmdlets, mapper unit tests, EndpointRegistry inline-data coverage, and docs/DesignSpec.md sections 16.7 and 16.8. build.ps1 CmdletsToExport and Test-ModuleImports expected list now contain 51 cmdlets. README updated with Organization/Sub-Organization tables, the new Get-InfisicalSANList entry, and an end-to-end certificate request example using splatted OrderedDictionary blocks.

# PSInfisicalAPI Full Specification
## 1. Project Summary
`PSInfisicalAPI` is a C# binary PowerShell module for interacting with the Infisical REST API. It is inspired by `PSInfisical`, but it is **not** a PowerShell-only implementation. The module must be built as a compiled C# module targeting `.NET Standard 2.0` so it works in both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+.
The goal is to establish a strong, reusable, secure framework first, then initially implement secret retrieval and export workflows.
Public cmdlets:
```powershell
Connect-Infisical
Disconnect-Infisical
Get-InfisicalSecrets
Get-InfisicalSecret
New-InfisicalSecret
Update-InfisicalSecret
Remove-InfisicalSecret
Copy-InfisicalSecret
ConvertTo-InfisicalSecretDictionary
Export-InfisicalSecrets
Get-InfisicalProjects
Get-InfisicalProject
New-InfisicalProject
Update-InfisicalProject
Remove-InfisicalProject
Get-InfisicalEnvironments
Get-InfisicalEnvironment
New-InfisicalEnvironment
Update-InfisicalEnvironment
Remove-InfisicalEnvironment
Get-InfisicalFolders
Get-InfisicalFolder
New-InfisicalFolder
Update-InfisicalFolder
Remove-InfisicalFolder
Get-InfisicalTags
Get-InfisicalTag
New-InfisicalTag
Update-InfisicalTag
Remove-InfisicalTag
Get-InfisicalOrganization
New-InfisicalOrganization
Update-InfisicalOrganization
Remove-InfisicalOrganization
Get-InfisicalSubOrganization
New-InfisicalSubOrganization
Update-InfisicalSubOrganization
Remove-InfisicalSubOrganization
```
Infisicals public API is REST-based and provides programmatic access for managing secrets and related resources. Current Infisical documentation shows the list-secrets endpoint under `/api/v4/secrets`, the single-secret retrieval endpoint under `/api/v4/secrets/{secretName}`, and Universal Auth login under `/api/v1/auth/universal-auth/login`. The implementation must centralize API endpoint definitions because Infisical uses different API versions across resource families. ([Infisical Blog][1])
---
# 2. Non-Negotiable Requirements
## 2.1 Runtime
The module must target:
```text
.NET Standard 2.0
PowerShellStandard.Library
Windows PowerShell 5.1
PowerShell 7+
```
## 2.2 No Async/Await
The codebase must contain **no** usage of:
```csharp
async
await
```
All HTTP calls, file writes, serialization, logging, and export operations must be synchronous.
## 2.3 Centralized Reusable Logic
No double implementation.
The following must be centralized:
```text
Logging
Error handling
Endpoint definitions
URI construction
Query string construction
HTTP request execution
Authentication
Response parsing
Secret conversion
SecureString handling
Export formatting
Path handling
Version handling
Build/release handling
```
No endpoint URL, API path, query construction logic, or authentication flow should be scattered across cmdlets.
## 2.4 Secret Safety
The module must prioritize limiting secret exposure in memory.
Rules:
```text
Never log secret values.
Never log client secrets.
Never log access tokens.
Never log Authorization headers.
Never log raw request bodies that contain secrets.
Never log raw API response bodies that contain secrets.
Never expose plaintext secret values as public object properties.
Never expose plaintext through ToString().
Never expose raw API response JSON from public cmdlets.
Convert secret values to SecureString as quickly as practical.
Call MakeReadOnly() on SecureString values after population.
Clear temporary API response objects as aggressively as practical.
Clear temporary plaintext variables as aggressively as practical.
```
The module should document the unavoidable .NET limitation: once a secret exists as a managed `string`, that memory cannot be reliably zeroed. Therefore, the design goal is to avoid unnecessary copies, avoid logging, keep plaintext scope short, and move values into read-only `SecureString` objects as quickly as practical.
## 2.5 No Export Warnings
Do **not** emit warning messages for export operations.
The user intentionally requested export support. The module should silently perform the export, while still ensuring exported values are never written to verbose/debug/error logs.
This applies to:
```text
JSON
YAML
ENV
XML
EnvironmentVariables
```

ProjectUri = ''
ReleaseNotes = ''
CommitHash = '<git-commit-hash>'
}
}
}
```
## 4.2 PSM1
The `.psm1` must be minimal and only load the binary module plus format/type data.
```powershell
$BinaryPath = [System.IO.FileInfo][System.IO.Path]::Combine($PSScriptRoot, 'bin', 'PSInfisicalAPI.dll')
Import-Module -Name $BinaryPath.FullName
$TypesPath = [System.IO.FileInfo][System.IO.Path]::Combine($PSScriptRoot, 'PSInfisicalAPI.Types.ps1xml')
$FormatPath = [System.IO.FileInfo][System.IO.Path]::Combine($PSScriptRoot, 'PSInfisicalAPI.Format.ps1xml')
if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TypesPath.FullName)) {
Update-TypeData -PrependPath $TypesPath.FullName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($FormatPath.FullName)) {
Update-FormatData -PrependPath $FormatPath.FullName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
```
---
# 5. Versioning
Version format:
```text
yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm
```
Example:
```text
2026.06.02.2140
```
The version must be generated once per build and applied consistently to:
```text
PSD1 ModuleVersion
AssemblyVersion
AssemblyFileVersion
AssemblyInformationalVersion
Release folder
CHANGELOG.md
Generated docs if applicable
```
The git commit hash must be embedded separately:
```text
PSD1 PrivateData.PSData.CommitHash
AssemblyMetadata("CommitHash", "<commit-hash>")
AssemblyInformationalVersion = "yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm"
```
---
# 6. Build Script Specification
The build script must be:
```text
Idempotent
Repeatable
Safe to run multiple times
Responsible for versioning
Responsible for manifest generation
Responsible for release folder creation
Responsible for module folder creation
Responsible for copying binaries
Responsible for optional commit-on-success
```
## 6.1 Build Script Parameters
```powershell
param(
[ValidateSet('Debug', 'Release')]
[string]$Configuration = 'Release',
[switch]$Clean,
[switch]$Restore,
[switch]$RunTests,
[switch]$RunIntegrationTests,
[switch]$CreateRelease,
[switch]$CommitOnSuccess,
[switch]$Force
)
```
## 6.2 Required Behavior
```text
Create missing folders.
Clean generated output when -Clean is used.
Never delete source files.
Generate version once.
Read current git commit hash.
Restore packages when requested.
Build the C# project.
Run unit tests when requested.
Run integration tests only when explicitly requested.
Generate PSD1.
Generate PSM1 if missing or when -Force is used.
Copy compiled DLLs to Module/PSInfisicalAPI/bin.
Copy dependency DLLs to Module/PSInfisicalAPI/bin.
Copy type and format files.
Update CHANGELOG.md.
Create Releases/yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm when requested.
Overwrite same-version release only when -Force is used.
Validate module import where possible.
Commit only after successful build when -CommitOnSuccess is specified.
Never commit failed builds.
```
## 6.3 Example Usage
```powershell
.\build.ps1 -Clean -Restore -RunTests -CreateRelease -CommitOnSuccess
```
```powershell
.\build.ps1 -Clean -Restore -RunTests -RunIntegrationTests -CreateRelease
```
## 6.4 Periodic Build and Commit Rule
After each logical milestone:
```text
Build.
Test.
If successful, commit.
If failed, do not commit.
```
Suggested commit messages:
```text
Add module skeleton and build script
Add centralized logging and error handling
Add endpoint registry and URI builder
Add connection manager and auth providers
Add secret retrieval cmdlets
Add secret export providers
Add integration test support
```
---
# 7. Test Instance Configuration
Integration tests must read connection values from any scope environment variables with precendence of Process, User, Machine. First found wins.
Target:
```powershell
[System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine
```
Required variables:
```text
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_APIURL
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_ORGANIZATIONID
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_PROJECTID
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_ENVIRONMENT
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTID
CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTSECRET
```
## 7.1 Integration Test Rules
```text
Integration tests must not run by default.
Integration tests run only with -RunIntegrationTests.
Missing test environment variables should skip integration tests or fail with a sanitized setup error.
Do not log CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTSECRET.
Do not log access tokens returned by Infisical.
Convert CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTSECRET to SecureString immediately.
Call MakeReadOnly() after SecureString population.
Clear temporary string references as aggressively as practical.
```
Example internal loading pattern:
```csharp
string apiUrl = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_APIURL", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string organizationId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_ORGANIZATIONID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string projectId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_PROJECTID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string environment = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_ENVIRONMENT", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string clientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string clientSecretPlainText = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CLOUDINIT_INFISICAL_CLIENTSECRET", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
SecureString clientSecret = SecureStringUtility.ToReadOnlySecureString(clientSecretPlainText);
clientSecretPlainText = null;
```
---
# 8. Logging Specification
Logging must be centralized.
Format:
```text
[UTC Timestamp] - [Level] - [Component] - Message
```
Example:
```text
[2026-06-02T21:44:22.1830000Z] - [Information] - [SecretsClient] - Attempting to retrieve Infisical secrets. Please Wait...
[2026-06-02T21:44:22.9290000Z] - [Information] - [SecretsClient] - Infisical secrets retrieval was successful.
[2026-06-02T21:44:22.9330000Z] - [Error] - [SecretsClient] - Infisical secrets retrieval failed.
```
## 8.1 Required Log Levels
```text
Information
Verbose
Debug
Warning
Error
```
Warning exists as a log level but must not be used for intentional export operations.
## 8.2 Operation Logging
For meaningful operations, log:
```text
Attempting to ...
... was successful.
... failed.
```
Use `Please Wait...` where appropriate.
Examples:
```text
Attempting to authenticate to Infisical. Please Wait...
Infisical authentication was successful.
Infisical authentication failed.
Attempting to retrieve Infisical secrets. Please Wait...
Infisical secrets retrieval was successful.
Infisical secrets retrieval failed.
Attempting to export Infisical secrets to JSON. Please Wait...
Infisical secrets export to JSON was successful.
Infisical secrets export to JSON failed.
```
## 8.3 PowerShell Channels
Logging should map to native PowerShell output channels:
```text
Verbose logs -> WriteVerbose
Debug logs -> WriteDebug
Warnings -> WriteWarning
Errors -> WriteError
```
Operational logs should respect `-Verbose`.
---
# 9. Error Handling Specification
All error handling must be centralized.
Required types:
```text
InfisicalException
InfisicalApiException
InfisicalAuthenticationException
InfisicalHttpException
InfisicalSerializationException
InfisicalExportException
InfisicalConfigurationException
InfisicalErrorDetails
InfisicalErrorHandler
```
## 9.1 Error Details
Errors should preserve:
```text
Component
Operation
Message
Exception type
Inner exception message
HTTP status code
HTTP reason phrase
API error code when available
Sanitized API error body when safe
JSON line number when available
JSON position when available
Request endpoint key
Request method
```
## 9.2 Error Logging
When a failure occurs, log multiple sanitized details where possible:
```text
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - Operation failed: RetrieveSecret
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - Error Component: SecretsClient
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - Error Message: The Infisical API returned Forbidden.
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - HTTP Status Code: 403
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - API Error Code: <if available>
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - Line: <if available>
[UTC] - [Error] - [ErrorHandler] - Position: <if available>
```
## 9.3 PowerShell Error Records
Cmdlets must emit proper `ErrorRecord` objects.
Examples:
```text
CategoryInfo:
AuthenticationError
ConnectionError
InvalidData
InvalidOperation
PermissionDenied
ResourceUnavailable
WriteError
```
The real underlying error must bubble up, but sanitized to avoid exposing secrets.
---
# 10. Endpoint Registry
All endpoint definitions must be centralized.
No cmdlet may hard-code endpoint paths.
## 10.1 Endpoint Definition Model
```csharp
public sealed class InfisicalEndpointDefinition
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Resource { get; set; }
public string Version { get; set; }
public string Method { get; set; }
public string Template { get; set; }
public bool RequiresAuthorization { get; set; }
public bool ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest { get; set; }
public bool ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse { get; set; }
}
```
## 10.2 Initial Endpoint Definitions
```text
UniversalAuthLogin:
Method: POST
Version: v1
Template: /api/v1/auth/universal-auth/login
RequiresAuthorization: false
ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest: true
ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse: true
ListSecrets:
Method: GET
Version: v4
Template: /api/v4/secrets
RequiresAuthorization: true
ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest: false
ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse: true
RetrieveSecret:
Method: GET
Version: v4
Template: /api/v4/secrets/{secretName}
RequiresAuthorization: true
ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest: false
ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse: true
```
Universal Auth uses a client ID and client secret to obtain an access token, and Infisical documents the login endpoint as `/api/v1/auth/universal-auth/login`. ([Infisical Blog][2])
## 10.3 API Version Flexibility
`Connect-Infisical` should accept:
```powershell
-ApiVersion
```
Default:
```text
v4
```
However, API version must not be assumed globally for every resource. The endpoint registry must allow each endpoint family to specify its own version.
---
# 11. URI and Path Handling
## 11.1 URI Rules
All URLs must use:
```csharp
System.Uri
System.UriBuilder
```
URI construction must be centralized in:
```text
InfisicalUriBuilder
```
Responsibilities:
```text
Combine base URI and endpoint path.
Escape path segments.
Escape query parameters.
Support repeated query parameters.
Avoid manual string concatenation.
Preserve scheme/host/port.
Support Linux, macOS, and Windows.
```
## 11.2 Path Rules
Internal filesystem paths must use:
```csharp
System.IO.FileInfo
System.IO.DirectoryInfo
System.IO.Path.Combine(...)
```
PowerShell build/helper scripts must use:
```powershell
[System.IO.FileInfo][System.IO.Path]::Combine(...)
[System.IO.DirectoryInfo][System.IO.Path]::Combine(...)
```
Public command examples can use simple strings because PowerShell can bind strings to `FileInfo`, `DirectoryInfo`, and `Uri`.
Public example:
```powershell
Export-InfisicalSecrets -Format Env -Path '.\secrets.env'
```
Internal implementation must still use proper typed path handling.
---
# 12. Authentication Design
## 12.1 Supported Auth Types
Currently implemented:
```text
Universal Auth
Token Auth
JWT Auth
OIDC Auth
LDAP Auth
Azure Auth
GCP IAM Auth
```
Each implemented provider is exposed as a dedicated `Connect-Infisical` parameter set. Identity-based providers (JWT, OIDC, Azure, GCP IAM) share a common login flow via `IdentityLoginExecutor` and POST to `/api/v1/auth/{provider}-auth/login`. Infisical documents identity authentication modes such as Universal Auth and Token Auth for API access, and API interaction requires an access token. ([Infisical Blog][3])
## 12.2 Future Auth Types
Design must allow future support for:
```text
AWS IAM Auth
Kubernetes Auth
TLS Certificate Auth
Alibaba Cloud Auth
OCI Auth
```
These should not be exposed as public parameter sets until actually implemented.
## 12.3 Auth Provider Interface
```csharp
public interface IInfisicalAuthProvider
{
string Name { get; }
InfisicalAuthenticationResult Authenticate(InfisicalAuthenticationRequest request, IInfisicalHttpClient httpClient, IInfisicalLogger logger);
}
```
## 12.4 Authentication Result
```csharp
public sealed class InfisicalAuthenticationResult
{
public SecureString AccessToken { get; set; }
public DateTimeOffset? ExpiresAtUtc { get; set; }
public string TokenType { get; set; }
}
```
`AccessToken` must be read-only.
---
# 13. Connection Management
The module must maintain a process-level current connection.
## 13.1 Session Manager
```csharp
public static class InfisicalSessionManager
{
public static InfisicalConnection Current { get; }
public static void SetCurrent(InfisicalConnection connection);
public static InfisicalConnection RequireCurrent();
public static void Disconnect();
}
```
## 13.2 Connection Model
```csharp
public sealed class InfisicalConnection
{
public Uri BaseUri { get; set; }
public string ApiVersion { get; set; }
public InfisicalAuthType AuthType { get; set; }
public string OrganizationId { get; set; }
public string ProjectId { get; set; }
public string Environment { get; set; }
public string DefaultSecretPath { get; set; }
public DateTimeOffset ConnectedAtUtc { get; set; }
public DateTimeOffset? ExpiresAtUtc { get; set; }
public bool IsConnected { get; set; }
internal SecureString AccessToken { get; set; }
}
```
The public object must not display or serialize `AccessToken`.
---

# 16.7 Organization Cmdlets
Organizations are the top-level tenancy boundary in Infisical. They are not scoped under a project; the active connection's `OrganizationId` is used as the default identifier when an explicit one is not supplied.
Cmdlet signatures:
```powershell
Get-InfisicalOrganization [[-OrganizationId] <string>] # default = List
New-InfisicalOrganization [-Name] <string> [-Slug <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
Update-InfisicalOrganization [-OrganizationId] <string> [-Name <string>] [-Slug <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
Remove-InfisicalOrganization [-OrganizationId] <string> [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
```
Parameter sets:
| Cmdlet | Default set | Single set | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Get-InfisicalOrganization` | `List` (no `-Id`) | `Single` (`-OrganizationId`/`-Id`) | No `-ProjectId`. |
| `New-InfisicalOrganization` | n/a | `-Name` mandatory, `-Slug` optional | ShouldProcess. |
| `Update-InfisicalOrganization` | n/a | `-OrganizationId` mandatory | ShouldProcess; only bound parameters are sent. |
| `Remove-InfisicalOrganization` | n/a | `-OrganizationId` mandatory | `ConfirmImpact.High`; `-PassThru` emits removed id. |
Endpoints:
| Operation | Method | Template | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| List | `GET` | `/api/v2/organizations` | v2 |
| Retrieve | `GET` | `/api/v1/organization/{organizationId}` | v1 |

---
# 16.8 Sub-Organization Cmdlets
Sub-organizations partition an organization into isolated child tenants. They are not scoped under a project; the active connection is used for the parent organization context.
Cmdlet signatures:
```powershell
Get-InfisicalSubOrganization [[-SubOrganizationId] <string>] [-Limit <int>] [-Offset <int>] [-Search <string>] [-OrderBy <string>] [-OrderDirection <string>] [-IsAccessible]
New-InfisicalSubOrganization [-Name] <string> [-Slug] <string> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
Update-InfisicalSubOrganization [-SubOrganizationId] <string> [-Name <string>] [-Slug <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
Remove-InfisicalSubOrganization [-SubOrganizationId] <string> [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
```
Parameter sets:
| Cmdlet | Default set | Single set | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Get-InfisicalSubOrganization` | `List` (no `-Id`) | `Single` (`-SubOrganizationId`/`-Id`) | List supports server-side `-Limit`, `-Offset`, `-Search`, `-OrderBy`, `-OrderDirection`, `-IsAccessible`. |
| `New-InfisicalSubOrganization` | n/a | `-Name` + `-Slug` mandatory | ShouldProcess. |

# 17. SecureString Utility
Required utility:
```csharp
public static class SecureStringUtility
{
public static SecureString ToReadOnlySecureString(string value)
{
SecureString secureString = new SecureString();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
{
foreach (char character in value)
{
secureString.AppendChar(character);
}
}
secureString.MakeReadOnly();
return secureString;
}
public static T UsePlainText<T>(SecureString secureString, Func<string, T> action)
{
if (secureString == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(secureString));
}
if (action == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(action));
}
IntPtr pointer = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
pointer = Marshal.SecureStringToBSTR(secureString);
string plainText = Marshal.PtrToStringBSTR(pointer);
return action(plainText);
}
finally
{
if (pointer != IntPtr.Zero)
{
Marshal.ZeroFreeBSTR(pointer);
}
}
}
}
```
Rules:
```text
Use SecureString for credentials.
Use SecureString for secret output values.
Call MakeReadOnly() after population.
Do not reuse mutable SecureString values unless necessary.
Do not expose SecureString internals.
Do not log conversion failures with secret content.
```

# 18. HTTP Client Design
## 18.1 Interface
```csharp
public interface IInfisicalHttpClient
{
InfisicalHttpResponse Send(InfisicalHttpRequest request);
}
```
## 18.2 Request Model
```csharp
public sealed class InfisicalHttpRequest
{
public string OperationName { get; set; }
public string EndpointName { get; set; }
public string Method { get; set; }
public Uri Uri { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, string> Headers { get; set; }
public string Body { get; set; }
public bool ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest { get; set; }
public bool ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse { get; set; }
}
```
## 18.3 Response Model
```csharp
public sealed class InfisicalHttpResponse
{
public int StatusCode { get; set; }
public string ReasonPhrase { get; set; }
public string Body { get; set; }
public Dictionary<string, string> Headers { get; set; }
public void Clear()
{
Body = null;
Headers?.Clear();
}
}
```
## 18.4 Rules
```text
Use synchronous request execution.
Do not log Authorization header.
Do not log request body when ContainsSecretMaterialInRequest is true.
Do not log response body when ContainsSecretMaterialInResponse is true.
Clear response body as soon as parsed.
```
---
# 19. Serialization Design
Required serializers:
```text
IInfisicalSerializer
JsonInfisicalSerializer
YamlInfisicalSerializer
XmlInfisicalSerializer
EnvInfisicalSerializer
EnvironmentVariableExporter
```
Recommended packages:
```text
Newtonsoft.Json
YamlDotNet
```
Responsibilities:
```text
Serialize strongly typed export models.
Deserialize API responses.
Preserve line/position details where available.
Avoid logging raw secret-bearing data.
Clear temporary DTOs where practical.
```
---
# 20. DTO Design
API DTOs should be separate from public output models.
Example:
```text
InfisicalSecretResponseDto
InfisicalSecretListResponseDto
InfisicalUniversalAuthLoginRequestDto
InfisicalUniversalAuthLoginResponseDto
```
Rules:
```text
DTOs may temporarily hold plaintext from API responses.
DTOs must not be returned publicly.
DTOs should be cleared/released after mapping.
Mapping must convert secretValue to read-only SecureString immediately.
```
---
# 21. Mapping Design
Required mapper:
```text
InfisicalSecretMapper
```
Responsibilities:
```text
Map secretKey to SecretName.
Map secretValue to SecureString.
Map secretPath.
Map environment.
Map metadata.
Map tags.
Map timestamps to UTC DateTimeOffset.
Clear DTO secretValue after mapping where practical.
```
Example mapping behavior:
```text
DTO.secretKey -> InfisicalSecret.SecretName
DTO.secretValue -> InfisicalSecret.SecretValue
DTO.secretPath -> InfisicalSecret.SecretPath
DTO.secretMetadata -> InfisicalSecret.SecretMetadata
```
---
# 22. Documentation Requirements
Each public cmdlet must have help and examples.
Docs required:
```text
about_PSInfisicalAPI.help.txt
Connect-Infisical.md
Disconnect-Infisical.md
Get-InfisicalSecrets.md
Get-InfisicalSecret.md
ConvertTo-InfisicalSecretDictionary.md
Export-InfisicalSecrets.md
```
Each cmdlet help page must include:
```text
Synopsis
Description
Parameters
Inputs
Outputs
Examples
Notes
```
Public examples should be clean and natural.
Example:
```powershell
Connect-Infisical -BaseUri 'https://app.infisical.com' -OrganizationId 'org-id' -ProjectId 'project-id' -Environment 'prod' -ClientId 'client-id' -ClientSecret $ClientSecret
```
Do not force examples to show internal `FileInfo` or `Path.Combine` usage.
---
# 23. Type and Format Data
The module should include formatting so secrets display safely.
Default view for `InfisicalSecret`:
```text
SecretName
SecretPath
Environment
Type
Version
UpdatedAtUtc
SecretValueHidden
```
Do not display:
```text
SecretValue
AccessToken
ClientSecret
RawApiResponse
```
---

# 27. Final Design Principle
`PSInfisicalAPI` should not be a one-off secrets script wrapped in a module. It should be a reusable, strongly typed, secure framework for Infisical API interaction, with secrets as the first supported resource family and future support for certificates, identities, projects, folders, imports, rotations, and other Infisical API areas added cleanly through new endpoint definitions, models, services, and cmdlets.
