Threat model

Two exposure paths for the workspace credentials (xai key, box token, voice key, OpenCode Go key):

  1. Any process that can read the config file. ~/.openmausbot/config.json held all of them in plaintext — chmod 0600 protects against other users, not against anything running as the user.
  2. The env of unrelated child processes. instanceConfigs() injected XAI_API_KEY and BOX_TOKEN into every instance's environment, and engine CLIs are spawned with ...process.env — so a compromised or merely chatty CLI child could read secrets it never needed.

What changed

At rest (packaged app) — extends the existing safeStorage path that already covered the Composio key:

  • electron/workspace-credentials.mjs (new): pure migration + env-mapping table for the four remaining credentials, unit-testable without an Electron runtime.
  • electron/main.mjs: secureWorkspaceConfig() runs on packaged boot right after the composio sweep — plaintext values move into the OS-encrypted credentials.bin and the plaintext field is deleted; at server spawn, one env var per stored secret is injected (XAI_API_KEY, BOX_TOKEN, OMB_TTS_KEY, OPENCODE_API_KEY).
  • server/config.ts: loadConfig() now prefers env over the file for every credential; the file stays the dev-mode fallback, so pnpm dev:server with plaintext config.json works unchanged. syncCredentialEnv() keeps the running server's env in step with a mid-session save or clear, so the boot-time value cannot shadow a new key until relaunch.

Per-driver env narrowing:

  • injectedEnvironment(cfg, driver) is now one shared rule for instanceConfigs() (inject) and withInstanceCli() (strip-before-persist): XAI_API_KEY → the API-key grok driver only, BOX_TOKENboxAgent only, OPENCODE_API_KEYopencodeGo only (the pre-existing narrowing, generalized). Consumers verified by grep: drivers/grok.ts reads input.environment[apiKeyEnv], drivers/boxagent.ts reads input.environment.BOX_TOKEN; no other driver reads either.
  • Because the packaged server process itself now carries these secrets in env, every engine-CLI spawn point strips WORKSPACE_CREDENTIAL_ENV from the child env: claude.ts (claudeEnvironment), codex.ts (childEnv), antigravity.ts (turn spawn), and acp/core.ts (merged with the existing foreign-provider-key strip, still honoring each driver's credentialEnv allowlist — OpenCode Go keeps its own key). Without this, the at-rest change would have put the voice key and box token into every CLI child via ...process.env.

Migration behavior

  • Idempotent: a second boot is a no-op (absent field → keep the stored secret).
  • Lossless, newest-intent: the server persists a mid-session key change to config.json as plaintext until the next launch; the boot sweep then treats a non-empty field as the newest user intent (overwrites the store), "" (how a cleared key is saved) as a clear (drops the stored secret), and an absent field as already-migrated. credentials.bin is written before config.json is rewritten, so a failed safeStorage save leaves the plaintext in place to retry next boot — losing the only copy cannot happen.
  • Downgrade: same behavior as the composio key — an older build sees the key as unconfigured (field gone from config.json) until re-entered; nothing is corrupted.

Test plan

  • pnpm typecheck ✓ · pnpm check:electron ✓ (covers the new module) · lint delta vs main: none
  • pnpm vitest run: 113 files, 1091 passed / 8 skipped ✓ — includes new electron/workspace-credentials.test.mjs (migration table, idempotence, overwrite/clear/keep, env mapping) and new server/config.test.ts suites (per-driver narrowing incl. a driver that doesn't use a key does NOT receive it, env-over-file preference, syncCredentialEnv, strip helper), plus child-env hygiene assertions extended in the claude/codex/ACP driver tests (the fake ACP CLI's env dump allowlist now includes BOX_TOKEN/OMB_TTS_KEY so those assertions actually bite).
  • pnpm broker:test ✓ (2) · pnpm test:updater ✓ (12) · pnpm test:packaged-server
  • Mutation-checked every new guard: the narrowing condition, the env preference, the syncCredentialEnv clear path, the migration overwrite rule, delete-not-blank, and the strip list were each deliberately broken; the new tests failed (2 / 2 / 1 / 1 / 4 / 3-suites+1 respectively) and passed again after restoring.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds encrypted workspace credential migration and driver-specific environment isolation. It also adds local computer capability and approval safeguards, packaged Electron startup changes, guarded screen capture, Linux CUA startup, capability broadcasts, and expanded smoke-test coverage.

Changes

Workspace credentials and local computer controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential migration and server configuration
electron/workspace-credentials.mjs, electron/main.mjs, server/config.ts, server/index.ts, server/config.test.ts, electron/workspace-credentials.test.mjs
Workspace credentials migrate to encrypted storage. Environment values override persisted values. Saved credentials synchronize with process.env. Injection is limited to consuming drivers.
Child-process credential isolation
server/drivers/acp/core.ts, server/drivers/antigravity.ts, server/drivers/claude.ts, server/drivers/codex.ts, server/drivers/*test.ts, server/testing/fake-acp-cli.ts
ACP, Antigravity, Claude, and Codex child environments remove unsupported workspace credentials. Tests verify credential absence and environment-dump behavior.
Local computer capability and approval flow
server/drivers/acp/core.ts, server/drivers/claude.ts, server/drivers/acp/acp.test.ts, server/drivers/claude.test.ts, server/index.ts, server/testing/fake-acp-cli.ts
Full-auto and bypass-permissions modes reject local computer control. Approval events carry approvalScope. Server routes prevent unsafe auto-approval and recover persisted approval cards.
Electron platform and packaged runtime controls
electron/main.mjs
Packaged startup adds guarded display-media handling, capability-based permission and speech cleanup, CUA state broadcasts, Linux CUA startup, and expanded smoke diagnostics.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 68147

The PR still passes workspace credentials into one unrelated text-generation child process, allowing those secrets to be exposed to a process that does not need them; this high-impact security issue should be fixed before merge. Changed credentials are also retained in plaintext configuration until the next launch, and unknown thread requests can retain empty cached state.

…d env

Two halves of one rule — a credential should be readable only by the
process that needs it, and rest encrypted where the platform allows.

At rest: the packaged app already moved the Composio key out of
config.json into the OS-encrypted credentials.bin. The xai key, box
token, voice key and OpenCode Go key now get the same sweep on boot
(electron/workspace-credentials.mjs): plaintext values migrate into the
encrypted store and the field is DELETED, not blanked — the server saves
a mid-session change back into config.json, so a non-empty field is the
newest user intent (overwrites the store), "" is a clear (drops the
stored secret), and an absent field means already-migrated. The server
now prefers env over the file for every credential (the shell injects
one var per stored secret at spawn), with the file as the dev-mode
fallback; syncCredentialEnv keeps the running process's env in step with
a save so the boot-time value cannot shadow it until relaunch.

In children: instanceConfigs() used to copy XAI_API_KEY and BOX_TOKEN
into EVERY instance's environment; each key now goes only to the driver
that reads it (grok API, boxAgent), the pattern opencodeGo already
followed. And because the packaged server process now carries these
secrets in its own env, every engine-CLI spawn point (claude, codex,
antigravity, ACP core) strips WORKSPACE_CREDENTIAL_ENV from the child
env — an engine that brings its own login has no business inheriting
the box token or the voice key.

Migration is idempotent and lossless; a downgrade behaves like the
composio path (key re-entry, nothing corrupted). Every new guard was
mutation-checked: broken deliberately, watched the new test fail,
restored.

3191-3196: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the thread before reading its messages.

At Lines 3191-3196, store.messagesFor(threadId) runs before the owner check. It can create and cache a ThreadState for an unknown ID. Repeated requests to this route can retain unbounded empty threads before returning 404.

Resolve a bot or group owner before calling messagesFor.

Proposed fix
       const group = store.groupByThread(threadId);
+      const directOwner = group ? undefined : store.botByThread(threadId);
+      if (!group && !directOwner) {
+        return json(res, 404, { error: "nothing is waiting on an answer in this conversation" });
+      }
       const pending = store.messagesFor(threadId).find((message) => message.card?.requestId === requestId);
       const owner = group
