Summary

This branch removes the raw rendered-manifest JSON dump from --verbose
tracing output so secrets interpolated through env() can no longer leak
into terminal history, CI logs, or diagnostic bundles, closing the medium
severity Codex finding for issue #649.

Closes #649.

Review walkthrough

  • Start with
    src/runner/graph_generation.rs
    to see the leak point removed: the tracing::enabled!(DEBUG) guard,
    serde_json::to_string_pretty(&manifest) serialisation, and the
    debug!("AST:...") event are replaced by a call to the new bounded
    structural telemetry entry point immediately after the manifest loads.
  • Then review
    src/runner/manifest_structure_telemetry.rs
    for the replacement boundary. It records only fixed-vocabulary integer
    counts of the loaded manifest shape (variables, macros, rules, actions,
    targets, defaults) through a TRACE span and a metrics::counter! with a
    one-time describe_counter! registration. No manifest text, paths, recipe
    contents, variable values, or descriptions cross the telemetry boundary,
    because rendered values can carry secret material from env()
    interpolation.
  • Finish with
    tests/logging_stderr/verbose_secret_absence.rs
    for the regression proof. The test drives the real --verbose generate
    CLI path with a distinctive sentinel injected through env('CI_SECRET')
    at the command, script, and variable rendering sites, and asserts the
    sentinel is absent from both stdout and stderr while the generated Ninja
    file still resolves the interpolation.

Validation

  • make check-fmt: passes (Rust, Python, and Markdown formatting clean).
  • make lint: passes (Clippy -D warnings, Whitaker Dylint suite, Pylint
    10.00/10, ambrleaks).
  • make test: passes (cargo-nextest full workspace suite plus doctests,
    including the new secret-absence regression test).
  • make doc-coverage: passes at 99.13%, above the 80% threshold.

Notes

  • The retired runner.context.serialise_manifest Fluent key was removed
    from src/localization/keys.rs and all 35 locales/*/messages.ftl
    catalogues in one coordinated change so the localisation audit stays
    balanced without suppressing dead-code warnings.
  • Generic keyword-based redaction is not used: after rendering, a secret
    may occur in an arbitrary string with no secret-bearing field name, so
    the fix removes the leak at the serialisation boundary instead.

Summary by Sourcery

Replace verbose rendered-manifest dumps with bounded structural telemetry to prevent interpolated secrets from leaking through logging.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent rendered manifest values, including secrets interpolated through env(), from appearing in verbose tracing output.
  • Add an end-to-end regression test confirming verbose generation keeps secrets out of stdout and stderr while preserving generated recipe semantics.

Enhancements:

  • Replace unbounded rendered-manifest logging with bounded structural telemetry containing only fixed collection counts.
  • Add representation-aware test helpers for inspecting plaintext, encoded PowerShell, and response-file Ninja recipes without exposing recipe contents in diagnostics.

Build:

  • Add the test-support Base64 dependency and consolidate direct-rustc UI harness support for artifact discovery and compilation.

Documentation:

  • Document the bounded runner manifest telemetry, its metrics, and the shared generated-Ninja test inspection utilities.

Tests:

  • Add unit, integration, property, UI, and CLI coverage for secret-safe manifest telemetry and generated-Ninja transport handling.

Chores:

  • Remove the obsolete manifest serialization localization key and update related localization catalogs.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

Strengthen telemetry integration coverage before merge. The new PowerShell decoder, transport tests, recorder allow-list tests, and secret-absence CLI test use substantive assertions. However, the changed production path only adds record_manifest_structure(&manifest) in src/runner/graph_generation.rs. The new telemetry tests call record_manifest_structure directly and test the recorder separately; no test invokes graph generation and asserts that the counter and structural trace are emitted. Removing the new call site would therefore leave these tests passing, so the changed behaviour is not fully guarded.

Resolution

Add a runner-level test that invokes generate_ninja_with_shell with a known manifest under an isolated metrics recorder and tracing subscriber. Assert that the invocation emits exactly one unlabelled netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total counter and the six expected collection counts. Keep the existing sentinel assertion to prove that the actual graph-generation path does not emit manifest values.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

Fail: the pull request leaves developer documentation stale for a changed test-tooling boundary. The new tests/support/test_support_rlib.rs moves Cargo build and rustc response-file orchestration into TestSupportRlib, and tests/ninja_semantics_ui_tests.rs reuses it. However, docs/developers-guide.md still states that cargo_artifacts.rs is the shared owner and that callers retain build and process-spawn orchestration. The guide does document test_support::ninja_semantics and runner::manifest_structure_telemetry, but it does not document TestSupportRlib, its permitted call sites, or the added base64 test-support build dependency. The new runner telemetry architecture also has no ADR addendum; the existing ADR-009 documents different manifest-evaluation boundaries.

Resolution

Update docs/developers-guide.md to document tests/support/test_support_rlib.rs, TestSupportRlib::{build,build_with,compile}, its Cargo JSON and direct-rustc workflow, response-file requirement, permitted UI-harness call sites, and the base64 dependency used by test_support::ninja_semantics. Correct the existing statement that callers retain build and process-spawn orchestration. Add a logged addendum to docs/adr-009-bounded-redacted-manifest-telemetry.md (or update the relevant design document) to record the runner manifest-structure telemetry boundary, its call site, metric registration, and bounded-field decision.


Bounded counts mark the manifest trail
Encoded recipes pass inspection without fail
Secrets stay absent from verbose light
Shared helpers decode each transport right
Tests guard commands, scripts, and names
The safer path now steadies builds and frames

Reviewer's Guide

The PR closes the verbose logging secret leak by eliminating rendered-manifest JSON serialization, emitting only bounded structural counts through telemetry, and adding an end-to-end test that verifies env()-resolved secrets remain in generated output but never appear in CLI logs; associated dead localization entries are removed.

closes a separately tracked roadmap item.

In `@test_support/src/ninja_semantics_tests.rs`:
- Around line 100-103: Add a test covering mixed payloads in
detected_recipe_transports: construct a document with a response-file payload
first, an encoded-command payload second, and a duplicate payload, then assert
transports are returned in positional order with duplicates removed. Also assert
recipe_contains detects both decoded scripts.

In `@tests/logging_stderr/verbose_secret_absence.rs`:
- Line 47: Remove the raw run.stderr value from the assertion message in the

while preserving the existing sentinel absence assertion.
- Around line 54-69: Update the generated Ninja assertions around
GeneratedNinja::recipe_contains to validate each fixture target separately:
command-site, script-site, and var-site must each contain SENTINEL in their
corresponding recipe. Preserve the representation-aware handling used for
Windows encoded PowerShell recipes and retain the existing stderr absence
assertion.

@coderabbitai Pre-merge walkthrough for the five check rows plus the two inline findings, all landed on this branch.

Pre-merge checks

Row Landed Where
❌ Testing (Overall) — focused unlabelled-counter test manifest_structure_records_one_unlabelled_counter runs record_manifest_structure on a parsed fixture manifest under a DebuggingRecorder, asserts exactly one metric series, and asserts it is the Counter named netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total with no labels and value 1. manifest_structure_telemetry_carries_only_counts asserts the TRACE event carries the six fixed counts and none of the fixture sentinel text. recorder_retains_unlabelled_manifest_structure_counter covers the drained-snapshot boundary in observability_recorder. 1b08ff1d, 3a8a3e9f
⚠️ User-Facing Documentation — telemetry in the users' guide New #### Manifest structure metrics section: when the summary is emitted, the unlabelled netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total counter, the six fixed counts, and the explicit statement that manifest text, paths, recipes, variable values, macro bodies and descriptions are never recorded because rendered values can carry env() secrets. 3a8a3e9f
⚠️ Developer Documentation — runner::manifest_structure_telemetry New ### Module: \runner::manifest_structure_telemetry`section in the developers' guide: ownership, the single call site ingenerate_ninja_with_shell, the span and event field set, the counter name, the exact_labels(key, &[])unlabelled contract, and theOnce-guarded describe_counter!` registration. 3a8a3e9f (module doc 527c1fc0)
⚠️ Testing (Property/Proof) — proptest coverage test_support/src/ninja_semantics_property_tests.rs: encoded_command_bindings_round_trip_arbitrary_power_shell_text generates arbitrary PowerShell text (quoting, separators, non-ASCII, an astral-plane character) and asserts the UTF-16LE/Base64 round trip, the reported transport, the decoded-script needle match, and that payload text never matches as plaintext; mixed_documents_report_every_transport_and_match_each_payload builds a document carrying every transport and asserts the ordered transport list plus every payload match. Decode failures fail the case rather than being rejected. 3a8a3e9f
⚠️ Testing (Compile-Time/Ui) — boundary compile-fail test tests/ninja_semantics_ui_tests.rs uses the repository's direct-rustc harness (shared with the locale-stub UI tests through tests/support/test_support_rlib.rs) to compile tests/ui/ninja_semantics_needle_as_document_compile_fail.rs and tests/ui/ninja_semantics_document_as_needle_compile_fail.rs, asserting E0308 naming the rejected domain, plus a control fixture that fails the harness if the --extern/-L dependency wiring breaks. 3a8a3e9f

Inline findings

  • test_support/src/ninja_semantics_scanner.rs:43 — payload detection is now restricted to a command = powershell.exe … -EncodedCommand binding or an rspfile_content binding; 91adb155, with the three regression tests described in that thread.
  • docs/developers-guide.md:3882 — make markdownlint passes on 9e655397: typos/spelling checks and 34 Python helper tests pass, markdownlint-cli2 v0.22.1 reports Linting: 135 file(s) and Summary: 0 error(s); make check-fmt and make nixie are green on the same tree.

Validation at 9e655397

make check-fmt, make typecheck, make lint, make markdownlint, make nixie and make test all pass: 3030 tests run, 3030 passed, 3 skipped, 0 failed.

@leynos, proceed with the pre-merge decision for these findings.

Static inspection confirms that HEAD is 9e655397ef549a923353d2f102ac91a7c5462ebc and contains all stated changes.

  • src/runner/graph_generation.rs calls record_manifest_structure(&manifest) after manifest loading.
  • src/runner/manifest_structure_telemetry.rs tests the single unlabelled counter and the count-only TRACE event.
  • src/observability_recorder_manifest_structure_tests.rs rejects the labelled variant and retains only netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total with value 1.
  • docs/users-guide.md documents the bounded manifest-structure metric and the exclusion of rendered manifest text.
  • docs/developers-guide.md documents runner::manifest_structure_telemetry, its call site, the six count fields, the Once registration, and exact_labels(key, &[]).
  • test_support/src/ninja_semantics_property_tests.rs contains both stated property tests.
  • tests/ninja_semantics_ui_tests.rs compiles both type-mismatch fixtures and the compile-pass control through the shared test_support rlib harness.
  • test_support/src/ninja_semantics_scanner.rs accepts encoded payload markers only in the PowerShell command binding or rspfile_content binding contexts.
  • tests/logging_stderr/verbose_secret_absence.rs keeps the stdout and stderr secrecy assertions. It validates each command, script, and variable fixture site through GeneratedNinja::recipe_contains(RecipeNeedle). Its failure message identifies the recipe representation without exposing the sentinel or generated Ninja content.

I could not independently run make check-fmt, make typecheck, make lint, make markdownlint, make nixie, or make test because this inspection environment does not permit repository execution. The reported validation is consistent with the current codegraph.

No unresolved concern remains from the five check rows or the two inline findings.

@coderabbitai Please suggest a fix for this issue and supply a prompt for an AI coding agent to enable it to apply the fix. Include the file and symbol names indicated in the issue at the head of your response. Ensure that this is validated against the current version of the codegraph.

If further refinement to address this finding would be deleterious, please supply a clear explanatory one to two paragraph markdown message in a code block that I can paste into the CodeScene web ui's diagnostic suppression function so this diagnostic can be silenced.

Code Duplication

test_support/src/ninja_semantics_tests.rs:

What lead to degradation?

The module contains 2 functions with similar structure: plaintext_command_mentioning_the_marker_is_not_an_encoded_payload,plaintext_command_mentioning_the_response_file_marker_is_not_a_payload

Why does this problem occur?

Duplicated code often leads to code that's harder to change since the same logical change has to be done in multiple functions. More duplication gives lower code health.

How to fix it?

A certain degree of duplicated code might be acceptable. The problems start when it is the same behavior that is duplicated across the functions in the module, ie. a violation of the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle. DRY violations lead to code that is changed together in predictable patterns, which is both expensive and risky. DRY violations can be identified using CodeScene's X-Ray analysis to detect clusters of change coupled functions with high code similarity. Read More
Once you have identified the similarities across functions, look to extract and encapsulate the concept that varies into its own function(s). These shared abstractions can then be re-used, which minimizes the amount of duplication and simplifies change.

leynos and others added 14 commits September 15, 2026 00:59
Replace the raw AST JSON dump with bounded structural telemetry that
emits only fixed-vocabulary aggregate counts of manifest collections.
Retire the runner.context.serialise_manifest Fluent key across all
locales now that no call site remains.
Replace the retired raw AST dump with a fixed-vocabulary structural
telemetry module emitting only collection-size counts, add a
secret-absence regression test covering command, script, and variable
rendering sites, and retire the serialise-manifest localization key
across all locales.
The verbose-secret-absence test asserted that the generated Ninja file
contains the sentinel verbatim, which only holds when recipe text is
stored as plaintext. Windows selects the PowerShell recipe shell, so the
sentinel is Base64 UTF-16LE inside an `-EncodedCommand` argument, or
inside Ninja's response-file bootstrap for oversized recipes, and the
assertion failed there even though rendering had resolved the secret.

Add `test_support::ninja_semantics`, which locates every encoded
PowerShell payload, decodes it, and searches plaintext bindings and
decoded scripts separately so encoded text can never match as plaintext.
Malformed payloads report a controlled error that never echoes the
payload. Failure output names the active transport rather than dumping
the generated file, which is what this test exists to protect.

Rewire `ninja_gen::tests::power_shell` onto the same decoder so the unit
tests and the integration test share one Base64 UTF-16LE implementation,
and pin the shared helper to real renderer output so a renamed transport
marker cannot silently degrade the Windows regression test into a
plaintext scan.

`test_support::ninja_semantics` accepted a bare `&str` in four public
free functions, but those positions hold four different domains: a whole
generated Ninja document, the text to search for in its recipes, Base64
PowerShell payload text, and Ninja response-file binding text. Nothing
stopped a caller from passing one where another belonged, such as
decoding a whole document as if it were a payload, and CodeScene reported
a "String Heavy Function Arguments" finding (code health 9.68) on the
module for it.

Wrap each domain in its own borrowed newtype and move the behaviour onto
it: `GeneratedNinja::recipe_contains` and
`GeneratedNinja::detected_recipe_transports` own payload location,
exclusion of encoded spans from plaintext matching, and decoding;
`ResponseFileContent::decode_power_shell_payload` decodes the binding the
Ninja response-file transport carries; `PowerShellPayload` stays private
so the Base64 and UTF-16LE rules live in one place. The public free
functions are removed outright rather than kept as wrappers, which would
have preserved both the metric and the ambiguous API.

Keep the rule that plaintext either side of a removed payload cannot be
spliced into a false match, and add a case pinning it. Malformed payloads
still report a controlled error that never echoes the payload, now
covered for response-file bindings as well as `-EncodedCommand`.

Production code is unchanged: `src/runner/graph_generation.rs` and the
PowerShell renderer in `src/ninja_gen_recipe_shell.rs` are untouched, and
the stdout/stderr secret-absence assertions in the verbose regression
test keep their original form.

`record_manifest_structure` entered the `runner.manifest.structure`
span and incremented `netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total`, but
emitted no event inside the span, so `--verbose` tracing carried the
span with no summary attached to it.

Emit a `trace!` event inside the span carrying the same six structural
counts already recorded as span fields. Counts are the only values
emitted: no manifest identifier or rendered value reaches the trace,
which is what the secret-absence regression test protects.

The recorder admits only registered metric series, and
`netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total` was absent from both the
`accepts_name` allow-list and the unlabelled-label arm of
`accepts_counter_registration`, so its describe and series were dropped
from recorded snapshots. Register the name in both and pin the
unlabelled series with a recorder test.

The fixture resolved `env('CI_SECRET')` through three sites, but its
`vars` block sat at manifest top level, where variables are registered
as raw globals and are never rendered. `var-site` therefore shipped the
literal `{{ env('CI_SECRET') }}` and could never carry the sentinel, so
one of the three sites asserted nothing. Move the variable to
target-level `vars`, which `render_target` does render, and tag each
site's recipe text so one site's needle cannot match another's text.

Check every site separately rather than once for the whole file: with a
single needle, one resolving site masks another site's failure. The
failure message now names the active recipe representation instead of
echoing `stderr`, which may carry rendered secret material; the stdout
and stderr absence assertions are unchanged.

Add usage examples to the public surface so the four borrowed text
domains read the same at every call site, and split the marker scanner
into `ninja_semantics_scanner.rs` declared via `#[path]`: the examples
push the parent past Whitaker's 400-line `module_max_lines` cap, and a
same-stem `ninja_semantics/` directory is rejected by the workspace's
`clippy::self_named_module_files` denial. The scanner stays a private
child module, so the Base64 and UTF-16LE rules still live in one place.

Cover a document that mixes transports: the transport list must merge a
repeated response-file binding rather than repeat it, keep document
order, and decode both payloads to the scripts they carry.

Fix the spelling of "recognizes" in the comment that pins the shared
helper to real renderer output.

The helper is the shared boundary for representation-aware inspection
of generated Ninja recipe text, but the guide described neither its
public surface nor the rule that call sites must not re-implement
payload decoding. Document `GeneratedNinja`, `RecipeNeedle`,
`RecipeTransport`, and `ResponseFileContent`, the transports they
mirror, the permitted call sites, and why a failure message must name
the active representation instead of interpolating generated text.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
`GeneratedNinja` treated both transport markers as payloads wherever they
appeared in the document, so plaintext recipe text that merely mentioned
`-EncodedCommand ` or `netsukePayload = '` was decoded and recorded as a
transport. A converted PowerShell recipe is written verbatim into a plaintext
`command` binding, so such text is ordinary recipe content and must stay
searchable as plaintext.

Each marker now names the binding that introduces a payload: a `command`
binding invoking `powershell.exe` for the encoded command, or the value of a
Ninja `rspfile_content` binding for the response-file bootstrap. A marker
outside its binding resumes scanning after the marker text instead of
recording a payload, and the `text_around_a_removed_payload_cannot_form_a_match`
fixture now carries a real binding prefix so it still exercises the splice.

Regression tests cover both directions: a recipe printing either marker stays
`Plaintext` and remains needle-searchable, and a response-file value without
the generated escaping is still rejected.
Close the review's coverage gaps for the unlabelled manifest-structure
telemetry and the generated-Ninja text domains.

- `runner::manifest_structure_telemetry` gains inline tests asserting the
  emission site records exactly one unlabelled counter and that the trace
  event carries only the six fixed counts, with a manifest whose text fields
  all hold a sentinel. Assertions return errors rather than panicking, so the
  tests satisfy `clippy::panic_in_result_fn` and the workspace's `expect` rule.
- `observability_recorder_tests` moves its unlabelled-counter case into
  `observability_recorder_manifest_structure_tests`, keeping the module under
  the 400-line cap.
- `test_support::ninja_semantics` gains property tests over arbitrary
  PowerShell text: Base64 UTF-16LE round trips through an encoded-command
  binding, and a mixed document that reports every transport once and matches
  each payload. Decode failures fail the case instead of being rejected.
- Compile-fail tests pin the `GeneratedNinja`/`RecipeNeedle` boundary with the
  direct-`rustc` harness, now shared with the locale-stub UI tests through
  `tests/support/test_support_rlib.rs`. The control fixture fails the harness
  if the `--extern` or `-L dependency` wiring breaks.
- The users' guide documents the unlabelled metric and the values the summary
  never records; the developers' guide documents the module and its emission
  site.
`make markdownlint` runs the spelling gate first, and it rejects the
"hand-written" spelling used in the property module's doc comment. Replace it
with "handwritten"; no other occurrence of the hyphenated form remains in the
tree.
Exercise the runner generation boundary under isolated tracing and
metrics, preserving the bounded manifest-structure contract.

Centralize plaintext marker assertions, document the shared UI harness,
and split the runner tests into the required module layout.
Assert the runner call path emits every bounded structural count.

Document the support decoder dependency and record the runner telemetry
boundary in the accepted ADR addendum.

@coderabbitai The two pre-merge concerns are resolved in 8fc52e6a.

  • The runner-level generate_ninja_with_shell test now uses isolated tracing
    and metrics, asserts one unlabelled netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total
    counter, and verifies all six fixed collection counts.
  • The developer guide now records the direct base64 dependency and shared
    TestSupportRlib workflow; ADR-009 has a dated runner-boundary addendum.

Validation passed: make check-fmt, make markdownlint, make nixie,
make test (3,039 passed, 3 skipped, plus doctests), make typecheck,
make lint, and make doc-coverage (99.16%).

Please confirm these concerns are resolved for the current head.

@pandalump Confirm both pre-merge concerns as resolved at current head 8fc52e6a655f286b8007a8018ff6e0ec50173509.

  • src/runner/tests/manifest_structure_telemetry_tests.rs::runner_generation_records_one_unlabelled_manifest_structure_counter executes generate_ninja_with_shell with isolated tracing and metrics. It asserts all six fixed counts: variable_count, macro_count, rule_count, action_count, target_count, and default_count. It also asserts exactly one unlabelled netsuke_runner_manifest_structures_total counter with value 1.
  • docs/developers-guide.md documents the direct base64 dependency in test_support and the shared TestSupportRlib build, artefact-discovery, and response-file workflow.
  • docs/adr-009-bounded-redacted-manifest-telemetry.md includes the dated 2026-09-15 addendum. The addendum defines the runner-owned telemetry boundary and its redaction contract.

Do not require further changes for these concerns. I did not execute the reported validation commands because this inspection environment prohibits repository execution.
