fix(security,domain): redact Agent.APIKeyHash from JSON wire shape (G-2)
Pre-G-2 internal/domain/connector.go::Agent::APIKeyHash was tagged
`json:"api_key_hash"` and shipped on every wire surface that returned
domain.Agent — GET /api/v1/agents (PagedResponse{Data: agents}),
GET /api/v1/agents/{id}, GET /api/v1/agents/retired, and the
POST /api/v1/agents registration response. Every authenticated client
(browser, CLI --json, MCP tool calls) received the SHA-256-of-the-API-key
string. The browser silently dropped it because web/src/api/types.ts
omits the field, but CLI and MCP consumers print full JSON so the hash
was visible there. Even though the value is a hash and not the plaintext
key, shipping it gives an attacker an offline brute-force target if the
API-key entropy is low (certctl doesn't enforce a minimum on operator-
supplied keys), and there's no business reason for any client to ever
receive it — the value is server-internal, used only for the lookup at
internal/repository/postgres/agent.go::GetByAPIKey. (Audit:
cat-s5-apikey_leak in coverage-gap-audit-2026-04-24-v5/unified-audit.md.)
We chose the audit's recommended fix (json:"-") plus a defense-in-depth
MarshalJSON plus a CI guardrail. Three layers because struct-tag
redaction alone is one rebase away from being silently reverted, the
custom MarshalJSON catches the case where a parent struct embeds Agent
under a different tag, and the CI grep blocks reintroduction at the spec
or frontend boundary even without a code review catching it.
Files changed:
Phase 1 — Domain redaction:
- internal/domain/connector.go: APIKeyHash tag flipped from
`json:"api_key_hash"` to `json:"-"`. New Agent.MarshalJSON
with value receiver + type-alias-recursion-break that explicitly
zeroes APIKeyHash on the marshal-time copy. Long-form docblock
explaining the G-2 closure rationale + cross-references to
service.RegisterAgent (populator), repository.AgentRepository::
GetByAPIKey (consumer), docs/architecture.md (DB-shape vs
API-shape distinction), and the audit finding.
Phase 2 — Domain tests (5 test functions):
- internal/domain/connector_test.go: TestAgent_MarshalJSON_RedactsAPIKeyHash
pins the marshal-boundary contract on a value receiver. ...RedactsViaPointer
pins the *Agent path. ...RedactsInSlice pins the []Agent path that the
ListAgents handler actually emits via PagedResponse. ...DoesNotMutateReceiver
pins the by-value-receiver contract so a future refactor that switches
to pointer-receiver gets caught. ...RoundTrip pins the wire-shape
guarantee that APIKeyHash is dropped on encode and cannot reappear on
decode. Single sentinel value ("sha256:LEAKED-CREDENTIAL-DERIVATIVE-
SENTINEL") flows through every fixture for grep-ability on regression.
Phase 3 — Handler tests (4 test functions):
- internal/api/handler/agent_handler_test.go: TestListAgents_DoesNotLeakAPIKeyHash,
TestGetAgent_DoesNotLeakAPIKeyHash, TestRegisterAgent_DoesNotLeakAPIKeyHash,
TestListRetiredAgents_DoesNotLeakAPIKeyHash. Each asserts (a) the
literal substring "api_key_hash" is absent from the httptest-captured
body, (b) the leak sentinel value is absent, (c) the non-leaked fields
ARE present (sanity that the handler is serving real data, not just
empty payloads). Shared sentinel "sha256:LEAKED-CREDENTIAL-DERIVATIVE-
HANDLER-SENTINEL" so a single grep over a failing test's output
identifies the leak surface immediately.
Phase 4 — Spec / docs:
- api/openapi.yaml: api_key_hash property REMOVED from Agent schema
(was at line 3690). Inline G-2 comment naming the closure + the
database-vs-API-shape distinction so a future spec edit doesn't
silently re-introduce the field.
- docs/architecture.md: ER-diagram block already documents the agents
table including api_key_hash (DB shape — correct). Added a sibling
note paragraph immediately below the diagram explaining that several
columns are intentionally server-internal (api_key_hash redaction
+ issuers.config / deployment_targets.config encrypted shadow), with
cross-references to the redaction enforcement site, the OpenAPI
schema, the frontend interface, and the CI guardrail.
- web/src/api/types.ts: Agent interface unchanged in shape (already
omitted the field) but added a leading comment block explaining
WHY the omission is intentional — stops a future frontend dev from
"completing" the interface from the OpenAPI spec or the Go struct.
Phase 5 — CI guardrail:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: new "Forbidden api_key_hash JSON-shape
regression guard (G-2)" step. Scoped patterns catch the actual
regression shapes — Go struct tag (json:"api_key_hash"), frontend
interface declaration, OpenAPI schema property, YAML enum/array
membership. Repository / migration / seed / service / integration /
unit-test / comment lines exempt. Verified locally on the real tree
(passes) and against 4 synthetic regression patterns (each fires
the guardrail). Mirrors the G-1 pattern from .github/workflows/
ci.yml lines 47-108.
Phase 5b — Sweep verification (no changes, results documented for the
next reader):
- internal/api/middleware/audit.go: doesn't serialize Agent struct;
records request body only. No leak.
- service.RegisterAgent audit-event payload: `map[string]interface{}{
"name": name, "hostname": hostname}` — name + hostname only,
no APIKeyHash. No leak.
- All 9 slog sites that mention agent: scalar attrs only ("agent_id",
"error", "agent_hostname"), never the full struct. No leak.
- internal/mcp, internal/cli, cmd/cli, cmd/mcp-server: zero matches
for APIKeyHash / api_key_hash. Both pass server JSON verbatim, so
the wire-side fix transitively closes them.
Verification (all gates pass):
- go build ./...
- go vet ./...
- go test -short ./... — every package green
- go test -short -race ./internal/domain/... ./internal/api/handler/... — clean
- govulncheck ./... — no vulnerabilities in our code
- helm lint deploy/helm/certctl/ — clean
- helm template smoke render — succeeds
- python3 yaml.safe_load on api/openapi.yaml — parses
- OpenAPI Agent schema scan: no api_key_hash property
- CI guardrail mirror: clean on real tree, fires on all 4 synthetic
regression patterns
- Domain pkg coverage: Agent.MarshalJSON 100%, connector.go total 87.5%
- Handler pkg coverage: 79.2%
Sample response body (httptest captured during verification, GET
/api/v1/agents/{id} via the new handler test):
{"id":"agent-demo","name":"demo-agent","hostname":"demo.host",
"status":"Online","last_heartbeat_at":"2026-04-24T11:59:30Z",
"registered_at":"2026-04-24T12:00:00Z","os":"linux",
"architecture":"amd64","ip_address":"10.0.0.42",
"version":"v2.0.49"}
Note the absence of any api_key_hash key, even though the in-memory
struct passed to the handler had APIKeyHash set to a sentinel.
Out of scope (intentionally untouched):
- internal/repository/postgres/agent.go SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/scan
paths and GetByAPIKey lookup — DB column stays, repo still
populates the struct, auth lookup still works. The redaction is a
marshal-boundary concern.
- migrations/000001_initial_schema.up.sql + migrations/seed_*.sql —
DB schema and seed data unchanged.
- internal/service/agent.go::RegisterAgent — service-side hashing
and persistence unchanged.
- Other domain types with potential credential-derivative fields
(Issuer.Config, DeploymentTarget.Config, notifier configs). Not
flagged by the audit; some are already protected (e.g.,
DeploymentTarget.EncryptedConfig []byte `json:"-"`). File a
separate audit pass if recon surfaces additional leaks.
- Per-resource DTO layer across every handler. Single audit
finding, single domain type.
- A separate possible follow-up: the v2 RegisterAgent endpoint
doesn't return the plaintext API key to the agent, which may
mean self-bootstrap via POST /api/v1/agents is broken. Verified
during recon; out of scope for G-2; should be its own ticket.
Refs: coverage-gap-audit-2026-04-24-v5/unified-audit.md
§2 P1 cluster, cat-s5-apikey_leak
Audit recommendation: 'json:"-" or API-response DTO
excluding APIKeyHash' — went with the json:"-" + MarshalJSON
defense-in-depth pair plus CI guardrail and structural docs.

Close I-004 (agent hard-delete cascades targets) coverage-gap finding
Operator decision answered as full soft-delete with optional forced
cascade — hard-delete is not reachable from any public surface. Prior
to this commit, DELETE /agents/{id} ran a plain `DELETE FROM agents`
whose schema-level `ON DELETE CASCADE` on deployment_targets.agent_id
silently wiped every target, orphaning certs and aborting in-flight
jobs. The finding closure reshapes the agent-removal contract around
soft retirement with explicit preflight counts, an opt-in cascade
gated by a mandatory reason, and unconditional protection for the
four reserved sentinel agents used by discovery sources.
Schema — migration 000015:
migrations/000015_agent_retire.up.sql flips
deployment_targets_agent_id_fkey from ON DELETE CASCADE to ON DELETE
RESTRICT, so a stray `DELETE FROM agents` now errors at the DB
boundary instead of quietly destroying targets. Both `agents` and
`deployment_targets` grow a retired_at TIMESTAMPTZ + retired_reason
TEXT pair (TEXT not VARCHAR so operator comments are never
truncated), indexed via partial indexes WHERE retired_at IS NOT
NULL. The migration is self-healing (ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS, DROP
CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS then ADD CONSTRAINT, CREATE INDEX IF NOT
EXISTS) so repeated runs against partially-migrated databases
converge. migrations/000015_agent_retire.down.sql restores CASCADE
and drops the new columns for clean rollback. A dedicated
repository-layer testcontainers test
(internal/repository/postgres/migration_000015_test.go) asserts the
before/after FK action, column presence, index presence, and
round-trip idempotency under up→down→up.
Domain — sentinel guard + dependency counts:
internal/domain/connector.go gains IsRetired() on Agent, the
exported SentinelAgentIDs slice listing server-scanner,
cloud-aws-sm, cloud-azure-kv, cloud-gcp-sm verbatim (matching the
four reserved IDs documented in CLAUDE.md and created at startup in
cmd/server/main.go), IsSentinelAgent(id string) predicate,
AgentDependencyCounts{ActiveTargets, ActiveCertificates,
PendingJobs} with a HasDependencies() method, and ActorTypeAgent /
ActorTypeSystem enum values used by audit emission downstream.
Coverage locked down by internal/domain/connector_test.go.
Service — 8-step ordered contract:
internal/service/agent_retire.go:RetireAgent(ctx, id, actor,
opts{Force, Reason}) enforces a fixed execution order:
(1) sentinel guard — IsSentinelAgent(id) returns ErrAgentIsSentinel
unconditionally; force=true does NOT bypass it.
(2) fetch — ErrAgentNotFound on miss.
(3) idempotency — if IsRetired() already, return
AgentRetirementResult{AlreadyRetired: true} with no new audit
event and no state change (safe to replay from flaky clients).
(4) preflight counts — collectAgentDependencyCounts runs
ActiveTargets, ActiveCertificates, PendingJobs sequentially
(not in parallel; keeps the per-query timeout predictable and
matches the repo's existing call-chain shape).
(5) force-reason guard — opts.Force=true with empty Reason returns
ErrForceReasonRequired (wired into the 400 status surface).
(6) dependency guard — HasDependencies() with opts.Force=false
returns BlockedByDependenciesError{Counts} (wired into the 409
body with per-bucket counts).
(7) mutation — single pinned retiredAt := time.Now(); agent
retirement first, then cascade target retirement if opts.Force,
all under the repo's single transaction so the two retired_at
stamps match to the second.
(8) best-effort audit — agent_retired always; agent_retirement_
cascaded additionally on the force path. Actor is whatever the
handler resolves from the request; actor type is mapped by
resolveActorType (system/agent-prefix→Agent/else→User). Audit
emission failures are logged via slog.Error but do not abort
the retirement (matches the house convention used by every
other scheduler-emitted event).
BlockedByDependenciesError implements Error() as
"active_targets=%d, active_certificates=%d, pending_jobs=%d" and
Unwrap() → ErrBlockedByDependencies. The single struct satisfies
errors.Is via Unwrap (used by scheduler-level tests) and errors.As
via the concrete type (used by the handler to fish out Counts for
the 409 body). ListRetiredAgents(page, perPage) adds a separate
paginated accessor with page<1→1 and perPage<1→50 normalization so
retired rows are queryable without polluting the default agent
listing.
Sentinel guard coverage is asymmetric by design: all four reserved
IDs are protected, and force=true cannot override. Regression tests
in internal/service/agent_retire_test.go assert each of the eight
steps in order, plus sentinel bypass attempts and idempotency
replay.
Handler + router — status-code surface:
internal/api/handler/agents.go:RetireAgent exposes seven status
codes on DELETE /agents/{id}:
200 on a fresh retirement (body echoes AgentRetirementResult).
204 on idempotent replay (AlreadyRetired=true; no new audit).
400 on ErrForceReasonRequired.
403 on ErrAgentIsSentinel.
404 on ErrAgentNotFound.
409 on BlockedByDependenciesError, with a custom body shape
{error, counts{active_targets, active_certificates,
pending_jobs}} that bypasses the default ErrorWithRequestID
envelope so callers get the per-bucket numbers directly.
500 on any other error.
Heartbeat HandleHeartbeat returns 410 Gone when the agent is
retired (ErrAgentRetired), signalling the agent to shut down.
Query params `force=true` and `reason=<text>` drive the cascade
path; both are forwarded as url.Values through the new MCP
transport.
internal/api/router/router.go registers GET /api/v1/agents/retired
literal-path BEFORE /api/v1/agents/{id} — Go 1.22 ServeMux's
literal-beats-pattern-var precedence routes "retired" to the
paginated retired-agents listing instead of fetching a hypothetical
agent named "retired".
Agent binary — clean shutdown on 410:
cmd/agent/main.go gains the ErrAgentRetired sentinel, a
retiredOnce sync.Once, and a retiredSignal chan struct{}. A
markRetired(source, statusCode, body) helper closes the channel
exactly once; the Run() select loop observes the close and returns
ErrAgentRetired; main() matches via errors.Is(err, ErrAgentRetired)
and exits cleanly instead of spinning in the heartbeat retry loop.
The 410 Gone surface is therefore terminal for the agent process.
MCP transport:
internal/mcp/client.go adds Client.DeleteWithQuery(path, query),
a new additive transport method. Client.Delete is path-only; without
this method the retire tool would silently drop `force` and `reason`,
turning every cascade retire into a default soft-retire. The new
method shares do()'s 204 normalization and 4xx/5xx error
propagation so tool authors get one contract.
internal/mcp/tools.go + internal/mcp/types.go expose the
retire_agent tool with Force+Reason inputs wired through
DeleteWithQuery.
CLI:
cmd/cli/main.go + internal/cli/client.go add two CLI surfaces:
`agents list --retired` (client-side strip of --retired then
delegation to ListRetiredAgents, sharing --page/--per-page parsing
with the default listing) and `agents retire <id> [--force --reason
"…"]` (mirrors ErrForceReasonRequired — force without reason is
rejected client-side before the request is sent). JSON + table
output modes both honor the new columns.
Frontend:
web/src/pages/AgentsPage.tsx surfaces retired/retire affordances.
web/src/api/client.ts + web/src/api/types.ts expose the retire
endpoint and the retired-listing. 4 new Vitest regression cases.
OpenAPI:
api/openapi.yaml documents DELETE /agents/{id} with all seven
status codes, 410 on heartbeat, and the 409 per-bucket body shape.

internal/service/agent_retire_test.go — 8-step contract + sentinel guards
