Intent

Retire the pre-AAD (2-part) secret ciphertext dual-read leftover from #1382 by giving operators a same-key format-upgrade pass. This PR ships the pass and docs; it does not delete the dual-read branch (that is the post-soak follow-up in #1489).

Tracks #1489.

Summary

  • Add POST /__maintenance/reencrypt-secrets (bearer CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET).
  • Keyset-page secret_entries, remote_connector_settings, and platform_oauth_apps rows whose ciphertext is not v2.%.
  • Decrypt via the existing dual-read, re-encrypt as v2 with userSecretContext / platformOauthAppContext, and write back with WHERE … AND <column> = <old> so a concurrent user rotation wins.
  • Count decrypt failures and leave those rows unchanged. Response JSON is counts + stable keys only — never ciphertext or plaintext.
  • Optional body: { "dryRun": true }, { "maxRows": N }.
  • No SECRET_STORE_KEY rotation, no schema change, no behavior change for v2 rows.

Production inventory (read-only, posted on #1489): 173 legacy rows (168 user secrets / 25 buckets, 1 connector shared secret, 4 platform OAuth client secrets). The production mutation stays gated on Kent's Discord go-ahead after this ships.

Testing

  • Focused node tests for dry-run, paging/maxRows, AAD binding after upgrade, corrupt-row reporting, and concurrent-rotation skip.
  • Maintenance handler auth/body tests.
  • Public-route hardening coverage for the new path.
  • Isolated re-runs of parallel-validate flakes (Cloudflare mock / webServer timeouts).

System changes

See the system recap block below.

System recap — extends existing primitives (medium risk)

Mode: recap · Base: main @ 9d9508ae · Head: 89d5f035

Classification: extends — adds an operator maintenance pass that rewrites remaining pre-AAD secret ciphertexts to v2. Dual-read for v2 rows is unchanged; SECRET_STORE_KEY is not rotated.

Primitives touched

Primitive Group Impact
mcp-server surfaces extends — reencryptLegacySecretCiphertexts pages 2-part payloads, decrypts via the existing dual-read, and writes v2 with AAD
scheduled-cron surfaces composes — worker fetch in index.ts registers POST /__maintenance/reencrypt-secrets
secrets assistant composes — public-route hardening covers the new bearer-gated path

System map

Operator format-upgrade traffic enters the worker fetch router, authenticates with the existing maintenance bearer, and rewrites leftover 2-part ciphertexts in APP_DB using the secret-store KEK plus owning-identity AAD.

Before / after

Endpoint: none → POST /__maintenance/reencrypt-secrets (bearer CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET)

Write guard: UPDATE … SET encrypted_* = ?new WHERE … AND encrypted_* = ?old

Result JSON: table counts (scanned / rewritten / skippedConcurrent / decryptFailed / remaining) plus capped decryptFailures keys. Ciphertext and plaintext never appear.

Per invocation: default maxRows 500 (override with an explicit body field). remaining is the scan-set leftover, including decrypt failures.

Invariants

Per-user isolation: user secret and connector rows re-encrypt under userSecretContext(userId) from the owning bucket/setting; platform OAuth rows use platformOauthAppContext(slug). Failed decrypts are never deleted. v2 rows are not selected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a maintenance endpoint to upgrade legacy encrypted secrets to the current format.
    • Supports authenticated dry runs and row limits for controlled migrations.
    • Processes secrets across supported entries, connectors, and OAuth configurations.
    • Reports rewritten, skipped, remaining, and decryption-failure counts without exposing secret values.
    • Safely preserves concurrent updates and leaves failures unchanged.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified setup, authorization, key rotation, migration procedures, and endpoint behavior.

Note

Medium Risk
Mutates production encrypted secret columns in D1; mitigated by bearer auth, optimistic concurrency, bounded batches, and no KEK rotation.

Overview
Adds POST /__maintenance/reencrypt-secrets, bearer-gated with CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET, so operators can upgrade remaining pre-AAD (2-part) secret ciphertexts to v2 without rotating SECRET_STORE_KEY.

The worker pages non-v2.% rows in secret_entries, remote_connector_settings, and platform_oauth_apps, dual-read decrypts, re-encrypts with owner AAD (userSecretContext / platformOauthAppContext), and updates with an optimistic WHERE column = old so concurrent user rotations win. Optional body dryRun and maxRows bound each run; responses are counts and stable failure keys only.

Docs distinguish this format upgrade from SECRET_STORE_KEY rotation and document operator workflow. Tests cover paging, dry-run, AAD binding, corrupt rows, concurrent skips, auth, and public-route hardening.

Walkthrough

The worker adds POST /__maintenance/reencrypt-secrets. The endpoint authenticates requests, validates options, and re-encrypts legacy ciphertexts across three secret tables. The migration supports dry runs, row limits, pagination, failure reporting, and concurrent-update protection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 47f73

This adds an operator endpoint that rewrites stored secret ciphertexts. At the current head, an omitted row limit can attempt the full backlog in one request and the completion metric cannot reach a clean stop when rows are undecryptable; the route also reuses a broadly distributed bearer credential and treats malformed input as a server error. Merge should wait for the main correctness and runtime fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

61-62: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider a dedicated secret for this endpoint.

This route reuses CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET. That token is distributed to CI for post-deploy reindexing. This endpoint decrypts and rewrites every stored user secret, so it needs a stronger trust level than vector reindexing. One leaked CI token now grants secret-store mutation across all users.

An optional SECRET_REENCRYPT_SECRET, with a fallback to CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET, keeps the current operator flow and allows separation later.

As per coding guidelines: "every signed-in user gets a fully isolated assistant (own packages, jobs, secrets, ...)".

11-13: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Return 400 for invalid request input.

failure produces a MaintenanceFailureError, and handleSecretMaintenanceRequest maps that error to HTTP 500 (packages/worker/src/maintenance-handler.ts lines 87-95). Malformed JSON, an unknown field, and a bad maxRows value are all caller errors, not server errors. A 500 also triggers server-error alerting for a simple typo in the request body.

Validate the body before delegating to the shared handler, or extend the shared handler with a client-error type. If you change the status, update the expectation at packages/worker/src/secret-reencrypt-maintenance.node.test.ts line 64.

Addressed the two major CodeRabbit findings in 89d5f03:

  • Default maxRows is 500 (operator can raise it). Production inventory is 173, so one call still completes.
  • remaining for secret_entries now joins secret_buckets like the pager. Docs: remaining includes decrypt failures; do not loop forever when remaining stalls with decryptFailures.

Left the two nits: this endpoint keeps CAPABILITY_REINDEX_SECRET like the other non-DR maintenance routes, and invalid bodies stay MaintenanceFailureError → 500 to match the shared handler.
