shankar0123 87213128cc 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.

      §2 P1 cluster, cat-s5-apikey_leak
      Audit recommendation: 'json:"-" or API-response DTO

shankar0123 0725713e19 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.
