Summary

Implements the remaining half of #1926 per the campaign design (devlog/_fin/260818_bug_pr_resolution/051_tsig_credential_scope.md), amended by this cycle's C4 security plan audit (3 High blockers folded).

Gap 1 — credential scope in the durable replay key. The durable thought-signature store keyed entries by thread + destination + adapter/model but not by credential, so account A's Gemini signatures could replay under account B on the same destination. Keys now include credentialDurableIdentity: a salted-HMAC (installation-local salt persisted beside the store with mode 0600, full 256-bit output — audit rejected the design's original truncated unsalted digest as an offline key verifier) over the persisted OAuth account-slot id (rotation-safe, verified stable across refresh), the provider API key, or the Codex account handle, plus credential-scoped header overrides. A scope that cannot produce a durable credential identity fails closed (no durable store/lookup) instead of sharing a credential:unknown slot (audit blocker 2). STORE_VERSION 3→4 drops v3 rows on load — they carry no credential info and are not upgradable; signatures re-accumulate per turn (bounded, pre-store status quo).

Gap 2 — bounded persist visibility. Terminal frames could become externally visible before the queued signature persist settled. All async terminal paths (completed, truncation/adapter-EOF incomplete, failed) and both buffered JSON returns now await awaitThoughtSignatureDurability() — a 250ms-capped race on the store's persist chain (bounded best effort, not a guarantee; audit wording fix). The sync stall-timeout kill path keeps best-effort behavior, documented in place.

Closes #1926

Verification

  • New: tests/thought-signature-credential-scope.test.ts — cross-credential isolation, fail-closed unscoped store/lookup, v3-drop + v4-reload, salt stability/width, barrier persistence. 7 pass.
  • bun test over 12 replay/bridge/auth suites (thought-signature, roundtrip, vertex, anthropic, bridge, reasoning-replay x4, summary-passthrough, server-auth): 231 pass / 0 fail.
  • bun x tsc --noEmit clean.

Checklist

  • Regression tests for both gaps
  • Fail-closed on missing durable identity (no shared slots)
  • No secrets persisted (salted HMAC only; salt holds no credential material)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability of reasoning and thought-signature delivery during completed, failed, truncated, and interrupted responses.
    • Prevented replay data from being reused across different credentials or after unsupported credential changes.
    • Improved recovery of thought signatures across restarts and supported request flows.
    • Ensured buffered responses wait briefly for required persistence before becoming visible.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for credential isolation, restart persistence, invalid credentials, legacy data invalidation, and durability timing.

…d persist visibility

The durable thought-signature store keyed entries by thread + destination +
model but not by credential, so account A's Gemini signatures could replay
under account B on the same destination (#1926 gap 1). Keys now carry a
salted-HMAC credential identity (installation-local salt persisted beside the
store, full 256-bit output — never an unsalted digest of key material) derived
from the persisted OAuth account-slot id, the API key, or the Codex account
handle; a scope that cannot produce one fails closed instead of sharing a
durable slot. STORE_VERSION 3 -> 4 drops old rows on load (not upgradable —
no credential info was recorded).

Gap 2: terminal frames could become externally visible before the queued
signature persist settled. All async terminal paths (completed, truncation
and adapter-EOF incompletes, failed) and both buffered JSON returns now await
a bounded (250ms) durability barrier; the sync stall-timeout kill path keeps
the pre-existing best-effort behavior, documented in place.

Closes #1926

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds restart-stable credential identities to thought-signature replay keys, persists a local salt, invalidates older entries, and waits for queued writes before selected responses and terminal events. Tests cover scoping, reloads, validation, and durability.

Changes

Thought-signature replay durability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable identity and replay-key storage
src/responses/reasoning-replay-cache.ts, src/responses/thought-signature-replay.ts, src/types.ts
The replay store derives salted-HMAC credential identities, persists an installation-local salt, uses version 4 keys, and fails closed without a durable identity.
Provider scope binding and Google lookup
src/server/responses/core.ts, src/adapters/google.ts, tests/google-signature-history-roundtrip.test.ts
Provider scopes include durable credential identities when derivation succeeds. Google serialization falls back to scoped durable replay lookup.
Persistence barriers on response paths
src/responses/thought-signature-replay.ts, src/server/responses/core.ts, src/bridge.ts
Buffered JSON paths and terminal bridge paths await bounded thought-signature durability before returning or emitting responses.
Regression coverage and RCA
tests/thought-signature-credential-scope.test.ts, tests/google-signature-history-roundtrip.test.ts, devlog/_plan/260819_triage_execution/020_remote_reasoning_leak_rca.md
Tests cover credential isolation, fail-closed behavior, version compatibility, salt stability, identity validation, persistence barriers, and post-parse replay. The RCA records transport-path verification.

Move the barrier before every signature-bearing terminal frame.

The waits execute after closeCurrentToolCall() and failCurrentToolCall() have already emitted response.output_item.done. A client can therefore receive a tool item before its replay write settles.

Several failure paths also emit terminal frames without any wait:

  • Line 1040-1048: undeclared tool failure.
  • Line 1114-1122: malformed tool-call failure.
  • Line 802-818: translator-buffer overflow.
  • Line 1305-1314: outer error catch.

Make signature-bearing close functions asynchronous, or stage their frames until awaitThoughtSignatureDurability() completes. Route every asynchronous terminal path through one shared finalization helper. Keep only the documented synchronous stall-timeout path as best effort.

Require the specified 256-bit salt at every boundary.

The loader accepts a 16-byte salt at src/responses/thought-signature-replay.ts Line 89, and durableReplayCredentialIdentity accepts the same value at src/responses/reasoning-replay-cache.ts Line 148. This permits a 128-bit or otherwise non-256-bit persisted salt despite the stated 256-bit installation salt contract.

Expose persistence failures to the durability barrier.

persist() catches every atomicWriteFileAsync() rejection and resolves persistChain. Therefore, Line 341 completes immediately after a failed write. The buffered response path then exposes a signature without a durable commit and without any failure signal.

Keep the queue usable after a failure, but retain a "failed" result or error state for the completed write. Make awaitThoughtSignatureDurability() return "persisted", "failed", or "timed_out". Record the failed result at the response boundary before proceeding under the bounded best-effort policy.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bind replay scope for Anthropic OAuth account-pool selections.

When the Anthropic OAuth account pool is enabled, src/server/responses/core.ts Lines 2156-2175 selects an account and access token but leaves replayOAuthCredentialSnapshot undefined. The call at Lines 2235-2243 then reaches this branch without a snapshot. Line 388 rejects the scope because credentialIdentity is absent. Durable replay is therefore disabled for pooled Anthropic OAuth accounts.

Carry the selected account-slot identity and valid transient credential state into bindRouteReasoningReplayScope. Derive credentialDurableIdentity from the selected account slot. Add a regression test that selects two Anthropic pool accounts and verifies restart replay is isolated per account.

Verify persisted salt width after a cache reset.

Lines 92-93 only verify the process-local cachedSalt reference. The test does not prove that the salt file persists across a replay-cache reset. The 64-hex-character assertion verifies HMAC output width, not the required 32-byte salt width. A regression that skips the salt write or mints a shorter valid salt can pass this test.

Store the first salt bytes, call resetThoughtSignatureReplayForTests(), reload the salt, and compare the bytes. Also assert that the salt length is exactly 32 bytes.

     const salt = thoughtSignatureReplaySalt();
     expect(salt).toBeDefined();
-    const again = thoughtSignatureReplaySalt();
-    expect(again).toBe(salt);

+    const serializedSalt = salt?.toString("hex");
+    resetThoughtSignatureReplayForTests();
+    const reloadedSalt = thoughtSignatureReplaySalt();

Exercise the bounded persistence timeout branch.

This test validates only a fast successful write. It does not delay persistence or verify the timeout. A change that replaces the timeout race with an unbounded wait still passes on a normal filesystem. That regression can stall terminal response release while persistence is blocked.

Add a test hook that holds the persist promise. Start the barrier with a short explicit cap, advance fake time, and assert that it resolves before the held write settles. Resolve the held write afterward.

As per path instructions, “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”

… pool account handles; harden salt perms

Security-review fold-back: (1) the parser's durable lookup ran before the
credential scope was bound, so the store was write-only at runtime — the
google adapter now falls back to the durable store at serialization time,
when the scope identity exists (regression-pinned); (2) the codex-forward
durable handle no longer accepts the client-supplied chatgpt-account-id
header (trusted pool context only; direct-forward fails closed); (3) the
salt file re-asserts 0600 on every load.

Security-review fold-back (9697e89):

Blocker 2 (client-controlled bucket) — accepted, fixed. The codex-forward durable handle now uses trusted pool-context account ids only; the client-supplied chatgpt-account-id header no longer participates, and direct-forward turns get no durable scope (fail closed, in-process cache still covers same-process replay).

Blocker 3 (runtime lookup not wired) — accepted, fixed. This was pre-existing (the v3 store had the same parse-before-scope ordering), but it made the store write-only at runtime, so it's fixed here: the google adapter now falls back to lookupReplayThoughtSignature at serialization time, when the credential-scoped identity is bound. Regression test added that parses scope-less, binds identity after (as the server does), and asserts the signature reaches the wire part.

Blocker 1 (store+salt = offline key verifier) — partially accepted, remainder rebutted with context. Hardened: the salt file re-asserts 0600 on every load. On colocation: an attacker who can read ~/.opencodex/ already has config.json, which stores provider API keys in plaintext (tracked as #1221) — the HMAC digest is strictly weaker material than what sits next to it, so keychain-grade separation for the salt would protect a digest of a key whose cleartext is in the same directory. When #1221 moves keys to the OS keychain, the salt should move with them; noted as a dependency there rather than blocking this isolation fix, whose alternative (no credential scoping at all) is the worse security posture.
