What this adds

  • gives supported agents an allowlisted request_credential tool
  • renders a masked in-chat card for xAI, Box, OpenCode, ElevenLabs, or OpenAI image credentials
  • saves through Electron secure credential storage and never posts the secret to chat or the resume endpoint
  • resumes the paused bot after the user saves or declines, including rooms and busy-turn queuing
  • makes the credential tool available to solo bots, not only bots with teammates

This is a clean-room implementation based on desired behavior; no source or assets were copied from the reconstructed reference repository.

Safety boundaries

  • agents choose only a fixed credential ID, never a config path, label, or URL
  • Composio is intentionally excluded because packaged builds use the managed connection flow
  • bot-authored card text is passed through secret redaction before persistence
  • card completion carries only metadata; the credential value stays in the desktop credential path

Verification

  • pnpm build
  • pnpm test — 1,753 tests counted; all passing, 12 skipped
  • focused credential/proxy/store tests — 66 passing
  • packaged server smoke passed with no node_modules in reach

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added secure credential request cards for supported API keys.
    • Bots can request credentials without exposing secret values.
    • Users can provide, dismiss, and manage requested credentials in chats and group conversations.
    • Conversations resume after setup or dismissal, with clear status and error feedback.
    • Added retry support when resuming conversations fails.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved credential validation, configuration detection, and secret redaction.
    • Prevented unsupported or malformed credential requests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds five allowlisted credential targets, an MCP credential-request tool, server-managed secret cards with continuation handling, secret redaction, and client UI for credential entry, dismissal, and retry.

Changes

Credential request flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential contracts and secret-card messages
shared/credential-request.ts, server/store.ts, src/state/store.tsx, src/lib/taskTimeline.ts, server/credential-request.test.ts, server/store.test.ts
Defines five credential targets, configuration helpers, secret-card message shapes, redaction, timeline typing, and related tests.
Agent credential request tool
server/drivers/agents-proxy.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.test.ts
Adds request_credential, validates target IDs, limits reasons, forwards request metadata, and handles configured or pending credentials.
Server card lifecycle and continuation
server/index.ts
Adds authenticated credential-request and card-action handling. The server creates secret cards, tracks outcomes, resumes direct or group turns, reports dispatch failures, and adds credential-request guidance to agent prompts.
Secret-card collection and rendering
src/components/SecretRequestCard.tsx, src/components/ChatView.tsx, src/components/GroupView.tsx
Renders credential cards in direct and group transcripts. The card reports outcomes, displays errors and status, and retries failed resumption.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3c3d3

Credential requests can be associated with the wrong bot in shared rooms, or remain paused without a reliable retry path when continuation fails. The PR should receive follow-up on these bounded correctness and recovery issues before merge.

Announce the save error to assistive technology.

The error paragraph appears after a failed save, but it carries no live-region role. A screen-reader user submits the form, hears nothing, and cannot tell that the credential was rejected.

Gate the peer-coordination prompt on having peers.

The mount condition at Line 1627 no longer requires section peers, so integrations.agents is now set for a solo bot. coordinationPrompt still tells that bot it "can work with the other bots in your section", and credentialPrompt is keyed off the same flag. A solo bot is now told about teammates that do not exist and spends a list_bots call to discover the empty list.

sectionPeers is already computed above. Reuse it so the credential guidance mounts unconditionally while the peer guidance stays honest.

       const coordinationPrompt = bot.chiefOfStaff
         ? chiefOfStaffSystemPrompt(bot.id, store.bots, Boolean(integrations.agents))
-        : integrations.agents

Cover every credential id in the mapping tests.

credentialConfigPatch is asserted for 2 of 5 ids and credentialIsConfigured for 1 of 5. The id-to-config-path mapping is the whole authority surface for this feature. A wrong path for xaiApiKey, opencodeGoApiKey, or ttsKey would store the key where no consumer reads it, and no test would fail. Drive both functions from one table so a new target cannot be added without a mapping assertion.

Addressed the review findings in 6c94267:

  • failed resume now exposes a safe Try again action (the key stays stored and is never resent)
  • solo bots no longer get misleading teammate guidance
  • all five credential mappings are table-tested
  • save errors are announced to assistive technology

Focused credential/proxy/store tests and typecheck are green.

2248-2267: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Record room continuation dispatch failures.

At Line 2257, runGroupMemberTurn handles an unavailable provider and sendTurn rejection by appending an activity message and resolving. Therefore, next.catch does not call markSecretResumeFailed. The card remains resumed: true even though no room continuation started. The client then reports success and hides Try again.

Return an explicit dispatch failure result from runGroupMemberTurn, or use a failure callback. When the room continuation does not start, call markSecretResumeFailed.

Addressed the follow-up room-resume edge case in bf22361. Group turns now report unavailable providers, busy races, connected-app setup failures, and sendTurn rejections through a dispatch-failure callback, so the credential card returns to the recoverable Try again state instead of falsely reporting a successful resume. Typecheck and 86 focused server tests pass.

2253-2255: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Drain pending secret resumes after dispatch failures.

When the bot is busy, this branch stores the credential resume in pendingSecretResumes. A provider dispatch failure does not emit turn.completed. The startTurn failure path at Lines 1724-1726 calls only drainQueuedSends(), which does not drain credential resumes. The room dispatch-failure path has the same gap.

The bot becomes idle, but the pending entry remains and the card stays resumed: true. The paused task then has no retry path. Invoke drainSecretResumes from every terminal path that can release a busy bot, including direct dispatch failures, room dispatch failures, and provider reload cleanup.
