Credential vault — secure store, management UI, and fill trust boundary#246aivsomkar wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
A place to keep the sign-ins a bot may use to reach the user's OWN accounts (Gmail → Drive/Sheets, and the long tail of password sites) inside an isolated computer, without the OAuth plugin. This is the at-rest half; the blind fill (typing into a VM, model never involved) is Phase 1b and needs a server→main bridge + a live VM. - electron/vault.cjs: secrets live in Electron main, encrypted by the OS keystore (safeStorage → Keychain / DPAPI / libsecret) in vault.bin, separate from credentials.bin. list() returns METADATA ONLY (origin, username, hasTotp, scope) — never a secret; reveal() is the one path back, gated by an OS auth prompt (Touch ID on macOS). matchForFill() scopes a future fill by exact origin + allowed bot + context, so a lookalike origin never matches. The keystore backend is injectable so the security-relevant logic is testable off-Electron. - IPC + preload: vault.list/upsert/remove/reveal on window.ogb.vault — the raw secret never crosses that bridge except the gated reveal. - Settings → Vault: add/edit/remove a sign-in, scope it to bots and to Local VM / Cloud box (never the host browser), "ask every fill". The list shows host + username only; a per-row reveal asks for Touch ID. Design: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-19-bot-credential-vault-design.md (threat model, the three-adapter provider port, the blind-fill invariant, per-platform matrix, mobile roles, licensing, phased plan).

- Line 108: The TOTP upsert flow preserves an existing seed when the edit field
is cleared, preventing deletion. Update VaultUpsert and the VaultSection edit
handling so a cleared field sends the distinct deletion value null, then update
the totpSeed assignment in the vault logic to clear the stored seed for null
while retaining the existing seed only when the field is omitted.
- Around line 51-61: Update Vault.#load and its callers so initialization is
serialized and this.loaded is set only after a successful read and parse;
concurrent list() and upsert() calls must await the same pending load rather
than bypassing it. Propagate filesystem, decryption, parsing, and keystore

Do not treat a pending or failed load as an empty vault.
Line 53 sets this.loaded before decryption and parsing finish. A concurrent upsert() can then skip loading, save only its new entry, and overwrite existing entries. A decrypt, parse, or filesystem error also leaves the vault marked loaded with this.entries = [].
Serialize the initial load. Set this.loaded only after a successful read and parse. Propagate load failures so mutation operations cannot replace an unreadable vault. Add regression tests for concurrent list() plus upsert(), corrupt ciphertext, and temporary keystore failure.

Electron 43 safeStorage getSelectedStorageBackend basic_text Linux async encryption documentation
💡 Result:
In Electron, the safeStorage.getSelectedStorageBackend() API is used on Linux to identify which secret storage backend is currently active [1][2]. When this method returns basic_text, it indicates that Electron has not recognized a compatible secret store (such as GNOME Libsecret or KWallet) in the current desktop environment, or that the --password-store="basic" command-line flag has been explicitly set [1][2]. Key implications and technical details: Encryption State: If the backend is basic_text, items stored via the safeStorage API are not encrypted with a system-provided secret store. Instead, they are encrypted using a hardcoded, plaintext password [1][2]. This provides significantly lower security compared to using a proper system secret store. Async Operations: While the safeStorage API includes both synchronous (e.g., encryptString) and asynchronous (e.g., encryptStringAsync) methods [3], the basic_text backend status is a property of the underlying storage configuration, not the method of invocation. Developers can check safeStorage.isAsyncEncryptionAvailable() to determine if asynchronous encryption is supported in their current environment [3]. Detection: Electron determines the backend based on environment variables (such as XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) or the specific --password-store command-line flag provided at startup [1][2]. Because the detection relies on predefined desktop environment values, it may fail to detect a valid secret store in less common or custom desktop environments, defaulting to basic_text [4]. Best Practices: Developers can use safeStorage.setUsePlainTextEncryption(true) to allow the application to proceed with this weaker encryption when no secure storage is available, rather than having operations fail [5]. It is generally recommended to verify the return value of getSelectedStorageBackend() at runtime to surface appropriate warnings to users if their environment lacks secure storage integration [5].

site:electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/safe-storage getSelectedStorageBackend basic_text Electron 43
💡 Result:
In the context of the Electron safeStorage API, getSelectedStorageBackend returns basic_text to indicate that the application is falling back to a plaintext storage mechanism [1]. This state occurs on Linux when the Electron framework cannot identify a supported secret store (password manager) in the current desktop environment, or when the --password-store="basic" command-line flag is explicitly provided [1]. When basic_text is returned, any data encrypted via the safeStorage API is effectively unprotected because it is encrypted using a hardcoded, plaintext password [1]. The reference to Electron 43 in your query appears to be a misunderstanding or a typo, as Electron has not reached version 43; as of August 2026, the framework is at a significantly lower major version number. The behavior described for getSelectedStorageBackend is a standard feature of the safeStorage API [1].

Electron v43 safeStorage asynchronous Linux fallback provider basic_text getSelectedStorageBackend implementation
💡 Result:
In Electron v43, the safeStorage API includes asynchronous encryption methods (encryptStringAsync and decryptStringAsync) to support various backends, including those that may require asynchronous operations [1][2]. On Linux, the safeStorage API relies on the underlying system's secret store (such as kwallet, kwallet5, kwallet6, or gnome-libsecret) [3][4]. If no secure secret store is available on the Linux environment, Electron falls back to the basic_text provider [3][4]. When this fallback is active, items are encrypted using a hardcoded plaintext password, offering no real protection [3][4]. The getSelectedStorageBackend method is available on Linux to identify the active storage provider [2][5]. It returns a string representing the currently selected backend, such as basic_text, gnome-libsecret, or the various kwallet versions [3][4]. You can trigger the basic_text backend explicitly by passing the --password-store=basic command-line flag [3][4]. The asynchronous encryption functionality is managed through new methods like encryptStringAsync and decryptStringAsync, which resolve as Promises, ensuring that encryption operations do not block the main process, particularly when interacting with remote secret stores [1][2]. You can check if asynchronous encryption is supported in your current environment using safeStorage.isAsyncEncryptionAvailable [1][2]. Note that as of Electron v43, safeStorage.isAsyncEncryptionAvailable returns a Promise to prevent unnecessary or early access to the OS keychain during the application startup process [6].

Chromium os_crypt async Linux fallback provider Secret Service basic_text security
💡 Result:
In Chromium, OSCrypt is the mechanism used for encrypting sensitive data, such as cookies and passwords [1][2]. On Linux, the implementation has transitioned from a legacy synchronous system to a modern asynchronous framework known as OSCrypt Async [1][2]. OSCrypt Async utilizes a pluggable provider architecture to manage encryption keys [1][2]. Key providers are responsible for interacting with system-level secret stores. Notable components within this architecture include: 1. SecretPortalKeyProvider: This provider uses the Freedesktop Secret Service interface (available via portals) to securely store and retrieve keys [3]. It is designed to work with standard implementations like gnome-keyring and KWallet, with the eventual goal of replacing legacy synchronous backends [3]. 2. FreedesktopSecretKeyProvider: An asynchronous key provider that acts as a fallback when the SecretPortalKeyProvider is unavailable [4]. 3. FallbackSecretKeyProvider: This is utilized specifically for decrypting legacy v10 ciphertexts, which were encrypted using a fixed (hardcoded) password [4]. In the legacy synchronous OSCrypt implementation—still prevalent in many applications and older versions of Chromium—the system selects a backend based on the detected desktop environment (e.g., GNOME, KDE) [5][6]. If the environment is not recognized or a secure store cannot be initialized, the system falls back to the BASIC_TEXT backend [5][7][8]. The BASIC_TEXT backend uses a hardcoded, plaintext password to derive the encryption key [9][10]. From a security perspective, this is functionally equivalent to storing data in plaintext, as the "encryption" key is static and known [9]. Consequently, many applications that utilize this backend (such as those built on Electron) explicitly warn against or refuse to use BASIC_TEXT, as it does not provide meaningful security for stored secrets [7][9][11]. Users encountering issues on Linux distributions where their desktop environment is not automatically detected often have to manually override the password store using command-line flags (e.g., --password-store=gnome-libsecret) to force the use of a secure backend [7][9][8].

Add an explicit TOTP-seed deletion value.
An edit with an empty TOTP field becomes undefined in src/components/VaultSection.tsx, and this line preserves existing?.totpSeed. Users cannot remove an existing 2FA seed.
Use a distinct value such as null for deletion in VaultUpsert, handle it here by clearing totpSeed, and send that value when an edit clears the field.

Block reveal when OS authentication is unavailable. On Windows, Linux, and macOS without Touch ID, the fallback resolves immediately. Vault.reveal() then returns secret through IPC and the renderer displays it. Throw an authentication-unavailable error unless an authenticator or approved fallback succeeds.

The load-bearing security piece of the blind fill: a loopback bridge the
harness server uses to REQUEST a fill, where Electron main holds the
secret, decrypts it, types it into the isolated computer, and answers
with an OUTCOME only. No response body can carry a secret — by
construction, not by discipline.
- electron/vault-bridge.cjs: main starts a 127.0.0.1 HTTP endpoint,
token + loopback guarded (mirrors the harness's /api/internal guard),
and writes {port, token} to userData/vault-bridge.json (the shared-file
pattern of cua-connection.json, so dev and packaged both find it).
POST /vault/fill: matchForFill by the REAL origin the caller read;
refuses zero, a lookalike, or an AMBIGUOUS match (never guesses one);
askEveryFill → needs-approval with a single-use token and metadata
only; else fills through a `fillIntoComputer` seam. The secret reaches
only that seam, never a response.
- server/vault-client.ts: the harness side — reads the descriptor, POSTs
a fill request, gets an outcome. There is no path here that could carry
a secret.
- main wires the bridge; the fillIntoComputer seam currently reports
"not yet wired" honestly — the real keystroke into the VM (approach B,
a harness-owned login browser) is done in a live-VM session.
Still to wire (needs a running CUA VM): the vault_fill tool the model
calls, origin detection via the harness-owned browser, the approval
card + audit chip, and the real fillIntoComputer.

Reject bridge startup on binding or descriptor-publication failures.
The startup paths do not reliably convert server.listen() errors into a rejected startup, so an EADDRINUSE or similar failure can terminate Electron instead of disabling the bridge cleanly. Descriptor publication can also fail after the server is live, leaving a running bridge that clients cannot discover. Add an error listener that rejects startup, and close the server if descriptor writing fails; keep the main-process catch path as the non-fatal fallback.

Approach B, realised through the cua-driver `page` tool (the same browser automation the agent's computer uses) rather than a separate browser: - electron/vault-fill-cua.cjs: readOrigin() runs execute_javascript `location.origin` in the live browser — the anti-phishing anchor comes from the browser, never the model — and fillIntoComputer() types the secret into the focused field via CDP insert_text (no keystrokes to sniff). All in Electron main; the secret never leaves it. - The bridge now reads the origin ITSELF via that seam, so a compromised server cannot steer the match; the body origin is only a fallback. - electron/totp.cjs: RFC 6238 TOTP in main (matches the RFC vectors), so a 2FA code is generated from the stored seed and typed — the seed never leaves main either. - A "Test fill" control in the Vault UI (vault:test-fill IPC) runs the exact fill chain against the focused browser, so the blind fill is verifiable live without a bot: read origin → scope-match → insert_text. It reports only an outcome. Validated live on this machine that CUA's page tool reads location.origin and CDP insert_text fills a field — the mechanism works. Host Chrome needs its "JavaScript from Apple Events" toggle once (the VM launches Chromium with remote-debugging, so CDP just answers) — which is why the bot path is VM/box-only. Still to wire: the model-facing vault_fill tool + approval card + audit (a small MCP-proxy that routes back through the harness), best done with the VM up so the whole chain runs end to end.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Add a totpSeed guard to the test-fill handler.
Line 423 accepts field === "totp" without checking match.totpSeed. fillIntoComputer then calls generateTotp(undefined). base32Decode converts undefined to the string "UNDEFINED", and every character of that string is a valid Base32 symbol. The decode succeeds, and the handler types a meaningless 6-digit code into the live page and reports outcome: "filled".
electron/vault-bridge.cjs already guards this case in doFill (if (field === "totp") { if (!entry.totpSeed) return { outcome: "no-match" }; }). Apply the same guard here.
🛡️ Proposed fix
if (!match) return { outcome: "no-match", origin, entryOrigin: meta.origin };
+ const wanted = field === "username" || field === "totp" ? field : "password";
+ if (wanted === "totp" && !match.totpSeed) return { outcome: "no-match", reason: "no TOTP seed on this entry", origin };
try {
- await seams.fillIntoComputer({ entry: match, field: field === "username" || field === "totp" ? field : "password", context: "vm", threadId: "test", botId: "test" });
+ await seams.fillIntoComputer({ entry: match, field: wanted, context: (meta.contexts[0] ?? "vm"), threadId: "test", botId: "test" });
await vault.markUsed(match.id);The same diff also aligns the context passed to fillIntoComputer with the context used for matching on Line 420. Today the handler matches with meta.contexts[0] but fills with a hard-coded "vm".

Re-verify the live origin when an approval token is redeemed.
Line 98 stores origin: realOrigin in pendingApprovals. Line 73 then matches against that stored value on redemption. The approval path never calls deps.readOrigin again.
APPROVAL_TTL_MS is five minutes. Within that window the browser can navigate to a different page, or a different window can become frontmost. fillIntoComputer resolves the front browser window at fill time, so the secret can be typed into a page whose origin was never verified. The stored origin then authorizes a fill that the live-origin anchor would have refused.
Call deps.readOrigin again in the approval branch and require the result to equal pending.origin before you call doFill.

trycua cua-driver CLI "call" JSON stdin --socket
💡 Result:
The cua-driver CLI allows executing tools via the call command, which supports passing JSON arguments either as a positional argument or through standard input (stdin) [1]. When using the call command, JSON input is often preferred via stdin to avoid shell escaping issues with quotes [2]. The general structure for using stdin with the CLI is as follows: echo '{"pid": 1234}' | cua-driver call kill_app If you are interacting with a specific daemon endpoint rather than the default, you can use the --socket flag to specify the daemon's path [1][3]. For example: echo '{"pid": 1234}' | cua-driver --socket /path/to/daemon.sock call kill_app Note that cua-driver is designed to work with a daemon [1][4]. While many CLI commands interact with this daemon automatically, explicitly setting the --socket flag ensures the driver connects to the intended daemon instance [1][3]. In complex integration scenarios, such as when using MCP (Model Context Protocol), you may also encounter socket usage when spawning proxies for daemon communication [3][5].

site:github.com/trycua/cua "cua-driver call" "--stdin"
💡 Result:
The command cua-driver call --stdin is used to interact with the cua-driver tool by passing JSON-encoded tool calls through standard input [1][2]. This method is commonly used for shell-oriented automation and scripting where providing complex arguments directly as command-line flags is impractical or prone to shell-parsing issues (e.g., escaping nested quotes) [1]. When you invoke cua-driver call --stdin, the tool expects a line-delimited JSON-RPC style structure (or specific JSON objects depending on the version/context) representing the tool name and its arguments [1][3][4]. Usage Examples: 1. Shell-based automation: You can pipe JSON data directly into the command to execute specific driver actions, such as killing an application by PID: echo '{"pid": 1234}' | cua-driver call kill_app (Note: As noted in documentation, passing JSON via stdin helps avoid issues where shells like PowerShell or bash might consume or mangle quotes within the arguments [1].) 2. Integration: Developers often use this interface to invoke specific background computer-use capabilities—such as element manipulation, screenshots, or system actions—without needing to implement the full MCP (Model Context Protocol) client handshake [1][5]. The cua-driver utility is part of the Cua ecosystem, designed to provide background computer-use capabilities (driving native desktop applications without stealing the cursor or focus) on macOS, Windows, and Linux [5][2][6]. For more advanced agent-based workflows, cua-driver mcp is typically used to provide a persistent MCP server interface, while cua-driver call serves as a lower-level command-line bridge for targeted, immediate actions [5][2].

CUA driver list_windows z_index topmost window ordering
💡 Result:
In the context of the Cua driver for Windows, window z-index and topmost ordering are managed through a combination of standard Win32 API behaviors and specific enumeration strategies implemented in the driver's codebase [1][2]. 1. Window Z-Order Basics (Win32) The Windows operating system maintains window stacking via a single Z-order list divided into two primary bands: the Topmost band and the Non-Topmost (Standard) band [3][4]. - Topmost windows, which possess the WS_EX_TOPMOST style, always appear above all non-topmost windows [3][4]. - Within these bands, the Z-order changes based on user activation or programmatic calls such as SetWindowPos and BringWindowToTop [3][5]. The system generally places the active window at the top of its respective Z-order band [3][6]. 2. Cua Driver's list_windows Implementation The Cua driver's list_windows function is designed to provide a reliable view of the desktop's window state [1][7]. To achieve this, it employs a two-step enumeration process [1]: - Canonical Win32 Enumeration: It first utilizes EnumWindows, which traverses the Win32 window manager's canonical top-to-bottom Z-order list [1]. This ensures that the driver reflects the actual visual stacking order maintained by the OS [1]. - UIA Supplement: It then queries UI Automation (UIA) to identify any top-level windows that EnumWindows might have missed [1]. These UIA-only windows are appended to the list and, lacking a canonical Win32 ordering, are treated as landing at the bottom of the Z-stack [1]. 3. Cua Driver's z_index Convention Within the Cua driver API, z_index is represented as an integer where higher values indicate windows closer to the front (user) [7]. - When utilizing the driver, a frontmost candidate can be selected by identifying the window with the maximum non-null z_index value [7]. - It is explicitly advised not to treat null values as zero or to infer stacking order solely from the array order of the returned list [7]. 4. Topmost Window Handling For operations requiring overlay management, such as rendering synthetic cursors, the Cua driver attempts to remain sensitive to Z-order [2][8]. When driving multiple windows, the driver pins its overlay above the topmost driven window by walking the Z-order (via GetTopWindow/GW_HWNDNEXT) [2]. This allows the agent's overlay to remain visible above the windows it is interacting with while staying below other windows the user may have placed higher in the Z-order [2].

site:github.com/trycua/cua z_index list_windows "higher"
💡 Result:
In the context of the cua-driver codebase, z_index is a property of the windows returned by the list_windows tool [1][2]. The z_index values are derived from the canonical top-to-bottom order provided by the Win32 EnumWindows function [1][3]. To align with the Swift convention used in other parts of the system, these values are inverted, meaning a higher z_index value indicates that the window is positioned closer to the front (i.e., it is more prominent or "higher" in the visual stack) [1][2]. When list_windows operates, it prioritizes EnumWindows to establish this canonical ordering and then appends any additional windows discovered through UI Automation (UIA) to the end of the list [1][3]. These UIA-only windows do not have a defined Win32 z-order and are therefore assigned lower stacking priority by default [3].

💡 Result:
The command list_windows is part of the Cua Driver toolkit, which is used to interface with and automate desktop environments on Windows, Linux, and macOS [1][2][3]. When executed via the Cua Driver CLI, list_windows returns a collection of active windows currently present in an interactive desktop session [1]. It is frequently used in agentic workflows to enable automation tools to identify, interact with, and drive specific application windows [1][4]. Note the following operational requirements for this command: - Interactive Session: The command requires an attached interactive desktop session [1]. If run from a non-interactive context (such as an SSH session without proper forwarding or a background service in Session 0 on Windows), it may return empty results [1]. - Driver Daemon: On many systems, it is recommended to run the cua-driver as a daemon or background service within the user's interactive session to ensure tools have access to the necessary GUI APIs [1][2]. - Linux/Wayland Considerations: On Linux, the driver supports X11 and, with configuration (CUA_DRIVER_RS_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1), supports Wayland sessions [5][6]. For a complete list of available commands and their descriptions within the Cua ecosystem, you can run the command: cua-driver list-tools [7]

💡 Result:
In the context of UI Automation (UIA) and window management systems, there is no native property called z_index that is universally provided by the UIA API [1][2]. When developers encounter a missing or null z_index while working with UIA, it is typically because the standard Windows UI Automation API does not expose a z-order property for elements [1][2]. Developers must derive this information using alternative methods [3][1]. For example, in projects like the cua-driver (a library for window enumeration), a z_index is manually calculated by iterating through windows using the Win32 EnumWindows function, which inherently follows the operating system's canonical top-to-bottom z-order [1][2]. Because UIA's FindAll method does not guarantee any specific ordering, it is generally considered unsuitable as a primary source for z-index calculation [1][2]. If you are seeing null values for a z_index in an application, it is because that application's implementation is likely relying on UIA to enumerate or identify elements but lacks a secondary mechanism (like EnumWindows) to map those elements to their actual position in the desktop's z-stack [1].

Sort browsers by descending z_index. The CUA driver uses higher values for frontmost windows. Handle missing z_index values explicitly instead of defaulting them to 0.

Close the time-of-check/time-of-use gap between the origin read and the fill.
readOrigin resolves the front browser window and reads location.origin from it. fillIntoComputer then resolves the front browser window again, independently. Nothing links the two resolutions.
Between the two calls the frontmost window can change, or the same window can navigate. The bridge treats the origin as the anti-phishing anchor, but the fill can land in a different window or on a different page. The password is then typed into an unverified origin.
Bind the fill to the verified window and origin. Return the pid and windowId from readOrigin, pass them into fillIntoComputer, and re-read location.origin from that exact window immediately before insert_text. If the origin changed, abort the fill.

Enforce the actual diagnostic fill scope.
Line 136 sends only the entry ID and field. electron/main.mjs matches with entry.allowedBots[0] and entry.contexts[0], but it fills with botId: "test" and context: "vm". A credential restricted to a named bot or box can therefore pass matching and then fill in the VM test actor.
Match with the real diagnostic actor and context, or reject entries that do not allow VM/test before the fill operation starts.

🧩 This is a feature request — not ready to merge
Tracking issue: #255. The storage + management + trust-boundary code below is sound and tested and can be reused. The Phase 1b fill mechanism is blocked and must be redesigned, so please don't merge as a finished feature — treat this as prior art for whoever picks up #255.
Why blocked: the plan was to type the secret into the isolated computer's browser so the model never sees it. But the bot drives that browser via CDP —
browser_snapshot/execute_javascriptcan readinput.value, and it can screenshot — so it can read any filled secret straight back. "Blind fill into the agent's browser" is not blind. The secret must instead only ever be used inside a broker the bot cannot observe (see #255 for the two candidate architectures: session-broker vs intent-broker). Keep everything here except the fill-into-the-agent's-browser step.In plain language
A Vault in App Settings where you store the sign-ins a bot may use to reach your own accounts (Gmail → Drive/Sheets, and any password site) inside an isolated computer — without wiring up the OAuth plugin.
vault.bin. It never touches~/.openmausbot, never crosses the app's network surface, and the browser build can't reach it at all.Why only half
The full design has one hard invariant: the model never sees the secret. Delivering that (Phase 1b) requires typing the credential into an isolated VM from Electron main (so it never reaches the harness server), which needs (a) a new server→main bridge that doesn't exist yet, (b) a running CUA VM with a login page to type into, and (c) a decision on how the app reads the page's real origin (anti-phishing). None of that can be verified without a live VM, and building it unverified around a real Google password is exactly what the spec warns against. So this PR lands the solid, tested, at-rest half; 1b is a follow-up done against a real VM.

Update — Phase 1b infrastructure: the fill trust boundary
The security-critical channel that lets a bot sign in without the model ever seeing the secret is now built and tested (only the keystroke into a live VM is still stubbed):
electron/vault-bridge.cjs— main starts a loopback (127.0.0.1) HTTP endpoint, token + host guarded (mirrors the harness's/api/internalguard), and writes{port, token}touserData/vault-bridge.json(thecua-connection.jsonshared-file pattern, so dev and packaged both find it).POST /vault/fill: matches by the real origin the harness read; refuses a miss, a lookalike, or an ambiguous match (never guesses);askEveryFill→needs-approvalwith a single-use token and metadata only; else fills through afillIntoComputerseam. A response body can never carry a secret.server/vault-client.ts— the harness side: read the descriptor, POST a request, get an outcome. No path here can carry a secret. Main is the responder (secret-holder); the server may only request.fillIntoComputerseam reports "not yet wired" honestly until the live-VM session.Still to wire (needs a running CUA VM): the
vault_filltool the model calls, origin detection via a harness-owned login browser (chosen approach), the approval card + audit chip, and the realfillIntoComputer.Tests:
electron/vault-bridge.node-test.mjs(5): token/loopback/route auth; no-match types nothing;askEveryFillneeds-approval (metadata only, no secret in the body) then the token fills and the secret reaches only the fill sink; immediate fill still leaks no secret; a lookalike origin never matches and ambiguity refuses.server/vault-client.test.ts(3). Full suite green (107 files, 1033).
