Show one kind of vault item at a time, and let the vault hold passwords
Outstanding items #8 and #9, in one commit rather than two. They are separable as work and were built in that order, but not as a diff: the section enum has three members, the one-editor guard has three arms, and the picker offers keys and credentials from the same list. Reconstructing an #8-only state would mean hand-writing an intermediate version of VaultViewModel that never existed and that no test has ever run. One honest commit beats two invented ones. --- #8, the type selector --- The column showed two lists and two editors stacked in 340 pixels, and only just: the key list needed a MaxHeight and had to hide itself whenever its editor opened, both to stop the host list above it pushing the buttons off the bottom edge. Credentials would not have fitted at all. It now shows one kind at a time, chosen by a selector at the top, and both workarounds are gone because a section owns the whole column. Three departures from the plan, each with a reason found while building it. The selector is plain Buttons and a parameterised command, not a TabControl, a TabStrip or a ListBox. All three of those hold the selection themselves, so a click moves the highlight before the view model can refuse it — and this column does refuse, while an editor is open. A selector lit on a section the column is not showing is worse than the refusal it would be hiding. Buttons carry no state and cannot disagree with the vault. The one-editor-at-a-time rule survives with its justification replaced. That rule was a workaround for the sizing problem above, and sections dissolved it: the editors are in different sections and only one section is ever laid out. BothEditorsAtOnce_DoNotFit_WhichIsWhyTheRuleExists is now BothEditorsOpen_NowFit_BecauseOnlyOneSectionIsLaidOut — the same test, inverted, because its own comment said that if it ever started passing the rule had become unnecessary. It has. The rule stays for a better reason: an open key editor holds a pasted private key in a bound string, and letting the column move on would leave key material in a form nobody can see, with nothing on screen to say it is there. A sizing hack became a rule about not hiding a secret from the person holding it. KeyEditorIsInTheWay and HostEditorIsInTheWay are one AnEditorIsInTheWay, called by the section switch and by every editor-opening command. And releasing the keyboard from the terminal has never worked. MainWindow takes Win32 focus off the WebView's child window and then calls Focus() on VaultColumn.KeyboardTarget — and a ListBox is not focusable by default in Avalonia, which leaves focus to its items. So the call returned false, the window ended up with nothing focused, and the keystrokes went nowhere: exactly the state that method's own comment says its second half exists to prevent. Found by writing the test to assert focus was taken rather than that the right control was named — the cheap assertion was already passing. Fixed with Focusable="True" on every list. --- #9, credentials --- Credentials have synced since they were added and could not be created. They can now, and the sync layer needed no change at all: fourth item type, same result, which is the item-kind seam working as intended. One picker for all three ways a host authenticates, which is what makes the illegal combination unrepresentable rather than merely invalid. SshKeyChoice became AuthenticationChoice carrying an AuthenticationKind, and BuildHost reads both SshKeyId and CredentialId off that single selection, so a host naming a key and a credential — which HostSecret.TryValidate refuses — cannot be expressed. Two pickers would have expressed it and then rejected it at save time. The kind travels with the id in three places and none is padding: Missing takes it, the placeholder lookup matches on kind as well as id, and Bound(kind) returns null unless the selection is that kind. Drop any one and a dangling credential comes back as a dangling key, which saves as a key binding to an id no key has. A credential's username had to reach the SSH request, not just its password. TryBuildCredential returned only the secret and the connect path read the username off the host, so a stored credential would have gone out under the wrong account — wrong in a way a server only reports as "authentication failed". It is now TryBuildAuthentication returning a (Username, Credential) pair. The no-username refusal moved, and had to. It ran before anything looked at the binding, which made a credential's username unreachable in the one case it is most useful: a host somebody never filled a username in for. It is now the last thing every branch agrees on, so such a host is perfectly usable through a credential that carries one, and a host with neither still refuses and now says where to put one. --- What the measurements cost --- Ten mutations, all caught. Two are worth naming. Removing a section's IsVisible is caught by OnlyOneSectionIsOnScreenAtOnce and by nothing else: two visible sections overlap in the row they share rather than clip, so every fit test still passes while the column shows one list through another. Defaulting the credential selection to the first row is caught by ReloadingKeepsACredentialSelectionButNeverInventsOne, and the property is a safety one rather than tidiness — Delete acts on the selection, so a list that picked a row on every background sync would aim a one-click password deletion at something nobody chose. The key list has the same property, and its comment cited a method that has not existed for some time; both now name the delete command they actually protect. One test of mine could not fail, and the mutation pass is what found it. AHostBoundToACredential_SendsItsPasswordAndItsUsername gave the credential and the host the same username, so it passed whichever one the code read. An override is only tested when the two values differ. Two shipped statements went false and were corrected rather than left: the class remark saying passwords were "not yet" in the vault, and the terminal column's "Keys are in the vault; passwords are not yet." That column's hint is now a tooltip on the password box rather than a sentence in the row, which was measured the hard way — by looking. At the window's 820px minimum the column gets 480, and a 220px box plus Connect plus any sentence does not fit; the row has shipped clipped for as long as it has had a hint in it. That strip is the one part of the window nothing can measure, because MainWindow cannot be laid out headlessly at all. Extracting it into its own control, as the vault column was extracted for exactly this reason, is what would fix that, and is not done here. 911 tests green, 30 of them new. Zero warnings, dotnet format clean. Seen by a person, which is how the two defects above were found. Still open from that pass: unlocking with the device key raises its consent dialog and then never returns, while registering one works — the difference is which thread the CNG call lands on, and diagnosing it properly is its own change.
