fix(oauth): redact public authentication errors (#1842) - #2043
Conversation
The public OAuth error projection from #1842 collapsed the fixed reauth-identity remediation messages (identity mismatch, unverifiable legacy identity) into the generic authentication failure, so the dashboard could no longer tell the user to sign in with the selected account. Represent both outcomes as bounded typed errors (OAuthReauthIdentityMismatchError, OAuthReauthIdentityUnverifiedError) whose messages carry no account, token, or email data, allowlist them in publicOAuthAuthenticationErrorMessage, and cover them in the projector allowlist and management status-polling regressions. Resolves the unresolved P2 review on #1842. Credit: original redaction work by @luvs01 in #1842.

Do not return the unsupported provider identifier.
Line 2166 serializes err.message and route.providerName. UnsupportedOAuthProviderError embeds the provider identifier in its message. redactSecretString only removes secret-shaped values. It does not remove an arbitrary configured provider name.
A request that reaches an unrecognized OAuth provider can disclose operator configuration data. Return a fixed message in this branch. Keep the 400 status if it represents invalid configuration.
Proposed fix
if (err instanceof UnsupportedOAuthProviderError) {
- const safeProviderName = redactSecretString(route.providerName);
return formatErrorResponse(
400,
"invalid_request_error",
- `${redactSecretString(err.message)}. Remove or reconfigure provider '${safeProviderName}' in the OpenCodex configuration.`,
+ "OAuth provider is not configured. Update the OpenCodex configuration and retry.",

Both sidecars launder an untrusted 401 body through a projection that cannot consume it. publicOAuthAuthenticationErrorMessage (src/oauth/index.ts lines 326-343) branches only on typed OAuth error classes and returns a fixed constant for anything else. Wrapping an upstream HTTP body in new Error(...) therefore has no effect on the returned message, while passing attacker-influenced text into the privacy boundary. If that function ever gains an error.message fallback, both call sites publish the raw 401 body verbatim — the exact leak this PR closes.

Add a negative assertion for the late provider message.
This test correctly exercises the new abandonIfNotOwner guard: cancelLoginFlow deletes the controller and records "Login cancelled", then the abort listener at line 432 rejects with "late provider abort after cancellation", and settle must abandon instead of overwriting the terminal state.
The assertion at lines 441-444 proves the state is still "Login cancelled". It does not prove the late provider text never appears anywhere in the status object. That absence is the privacy claim of this cohort. One extra assertion pins it.

Both sidecar suites chain independent failure scenarios through shared mutable globals in a single test. Each scenario reassigns oauthAccessError and globalThis.fetch, so the first failing assertion hides every later scenario and the report names only the test title. The coverage is accurate and worth keeping; only its granularity needs to change.

The existing afterEach blocks at tests/vision-anthropic.test.ts lines 70-73 and tests/web-search-anthropic.test.ts lines 177-180 already reset both globals, so per-test isolation needs no new teardown.

Summary
Scoped re-implementation of PR #1842 per the 260818 campaign disposition matrix (REDESIGN-SMALL: OAuth redaction; preserve typed identity errors). Carries the 7-commit redesign from the interrupted campaign session, rebased onto current dev.
publicOAuthAuthenticationErrorMessageis an allowlist over typed error classes with fixed literals; every unknown error fails closed to a generic message. Provider names gate on dictionary membership so crafted strings cannot ride through.Independent security review (MAINTAINERS security boundary, adversarial subagent): SECURITY: APPROVE — no path in the touched surfaces where raw provider bodies, token-shaped strings, or filesystem paths reach public responses; r4-flagged untouched core.ts sites verified fixed-literal-safe per class.
