Code Review
This pull request updates the decrypt function in src/lib/db/encryption.ts to return null instead of the original ciphertext when decryption fails due to malformed input or runtime errors. Corresponding unit tests have been updated to reflect this change. However, the security fix is currently incomplete as the function still returns the original ciphertext if the STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY is missing. Additionally, it is recommended to add a test case to cover this missing key scenario.

The security fix is incomplete. While this change correctly returns null for malformed values, the decrypt function still returns the encrypted ciphertext on line 113 when the STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY is missing. To fully satisfy the security goal of preventing encrypted tokens from being sent to upstream APIs, line 113 should also be updated to return null.

This test confirms that null is returned when the key is wrong. However, it doesn't cover the case where the encryption key is completely missing. It would be beneficial to add a test case for an unset STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY to ensure it also returns null (which currently it does not, as noted in the feedback for src/lib/db/encryption.ts).
… encrypted tokens to providers - When decrypt() encounters a malformed encrypted value (invalid format), return null instead of the ciphertext - When decrypt() fails due to decryption error (wrong key, auth tag mismatch), return null instead of the ciphertext - This prevents encrypted tokens from being sent to upstream APIs - Fixes [400]: Improperly formed request errors when routing to Kiro and other providers with unavailable credentials - Updated test expectations to match the new correct behavior: decrypt returns null on any failure

Summary
Fix critical security issue where encrypted credential tokens were being sent to upstream APIs when decryption failed.
Root Cause
The
decrypt()function insrc/lib/db/encryption.tswas returning the encrypted ciphertext unchanged when:This caused encrypted tokens with
enc:v1:prefix to reach upstream APIs like Kiro, which rejected them with[400]: Improperly formed request.Fix

This fix prevents encrypted provider credentials from being leaked to external APIs when credentials are unavailable or corrupted.
