jaap-jan	e24012b039	Sync credentials as a vault item type, and bind one to a host ... Closes the largest remaining M1 gap in the data layer: a username and password can live in the vault, sync between machines, and be named by a host as how it authenticates. What is not here is the interface for creating one — see the end of this message. The third item type, and the first one that cost almost nothing to add. Server: a VaultCredential row, an EF configuration, a migration, and a CredentialKind. Client: a secret, a codec, a merge, a cipher, a kind, a repository facade and a session property. No new reconciliation logic, no change to the sync engine, no client cache migration. That was the whole point of the item-kind seam, and this is the evidence it holds. The narrowest type of the three on plaintext, and not for symmetry. A host has a deliberate concession — the relay needs an address it can resolve. A key has a fingerprint, public by nature, which this client still declines to send. A password has no part that is safe to expose: not its length, not a hash, not a hint. So CredentialKind refuses every plaintext field there is, hydrates none, and the table has no column to put one in. HostSecret.CredentialId is the password counterpart of SshKeyId, and the two are mutually exclusive. SSH itself would happily try a key and fall back to a password, but a host naming both leaves "how does this authenticate?" without a single answer — the interface, the connect path and the user would each be free to guess differently. TryValidate refuses it. One consequence was not anticipated: "a full host" stops being a coherent idea, which is what broke AFullHost_RoundTrips and is now written into that test. The schema version became a ladder rather than a maximum: credential-bound is 3, key-bound is 2, neither is still 1. Adding credentials therefore does not drag every key-bound host in every vault onto a version that clients understanding keys perfectly well would refuse to edit. A test pins exactly that, because it is the property the whole content-dependent-version rule exists to provide, and the obvious implementation would quietly lose it. Two tests had become false and said so: - Push_AnUnsupportedEntityType_IsInvalidNotAFailedBatch used Credential as its example of a type this server does not implement. It now asks the server's own registry what is still missing, so it cannot go stale again, and skips with a reason if that set ever empties. - ThePullFilterNamesEveryTypeThisBuildSynchronises pinned the exact list, which is what it is for. Also fixes ten nullable warnings — eight in SyncEndpointTests, two in a test file added earlier today. Neither set was introduced here; both were invisible until an unrelated change forced their project to recompile, which means the zero-warning claims made earlier in this work only ever covered what happened to be rebuilt. 777 tests green. Zero warnings, dotnet format clean. Not done, and deliberately: the credential interface. The vault column is 340 pixels wide and already holds two lists and two editors, kept from clipping its own buttons at the window's minimum height only by the one-editor-at-a-time rule added earlier today. A third list and a third editor would recreate that defect rather than avoid it, so the column needs a shape decision first. Credentials sync; they cannot yet be created in the interface.	2026-07-29 21:09:08 +02:00
jaap-jan	e3fd3e1728	Sync and authenticate with SSH keys on the client ... Completes the client half of SSH keys: they sync alongside hosts, appear in their own list, and can be selected to authenticate a connection instead of typing a password. The reconciler and the repository were Host-typed throughout, so the choice was to generalise them or to keep a second copy per item type. Generalised, because ItemReconciler's whole premise is that the pull and the push paths must answer the same collision the same way — two copies would drift the first time one of them was fixed. What is genuinely per-type now arrives through IItemKind<TSecret>: the cipher, the merge, the plaintext columns, and the noun to use when telling a person what happened to their item. Generic where the server's IItemKind is not, and for the reason that reverses there — the client needs the concrete type, because it merges field by field. The pull filter is derived from the same registry that builds the reconcilers. That is the specific failure being designed out: an item type that encrypts, merges and lists perfectly and is never once requested from the server, so it works on the machine that made it and exists nowhere else. No client cache migration. The item table's primary key and the outbox's unique index already carry the entity type, and AadResourceTypes already mapped SshKey — so a host and a key may share an id and never see each other's rows, which SshKeySyncTests now arranges deliberately. A key hands the server nothing in plaintext. There is a public_key_fingerprint column and it would be accepted; leaving it null is deliberate. A fingerprint is not secret but it is a stable identifier for a key pair, so filling it would let an operator tell which of their users hold the same key and correlate one across vaults, for a column nothing reads. The design allows itself one plaintext concession — the relay address, which the relay cannot work without — and this is not that. A key is chosen per connection rather than bound to a host, which works the way ssh -i does. Binding one needs a field on HostSecret and therefore a payload schema bump, which makes every host written afterwards read-only on an older build; worth doing deliberately rather than as a side effect of adding keys. Three things this found, all of them by being falsified rather than by review: - Making the reconciler generic silently turned a record comparison into reference equality, because == on a type parameter is not value equality. The effect would have been a conflict recorded on every pass for an unacknowledged create that had in fact landed. Sabotaging the fix left all 73 tests passing — nothing covered that branch — so ConflictMatrixTests now has AnUnacknowledgedCreateThatDidLand_IsDroppedQuietly, which fails without it. - A test asserting that a blank passphrase reaches SSH.NET as null was vacuous: it exercised the editor, not the credential path, and passed with the guard deleted. Resolved by making SshKeySecret.Passphrase normalise an empty string to null, so there is one spelling of one state — which also keeps two clients from producing different payload bytes for an identical key. That exposed a wider gap: SshKeySecret, its codec and its merge had no direct unit tests at all. They have 25 now. - The reason first given for that normalisation was false. It claimed SSH.NET rejects a passphrase supplied for an unprotected key; measured against a real sshd it ignores it and authenticates anyway. Corrected everywhere it was stated and recorded in docs/platform-flags.md. The same test file also closes a real hole: SshPrivateKeyCredential had never been exercised against a server, because the existing key test builds SSH.NET's auth method directly and bypasses the path a vault-held key actually takes. Only one editor may be open at a time. Both sit in the same 340-pixel column as Auto rows and their heights together exceed it at the window's minimum size, so two open editors put the lower one's Save and Cancel past the bottom edge — the same failure this window already shipped once with the setup screens. Expressed as a state rule because that is the only form of it this repository can check: nothing here loads a .axaml. The refusal keeps what was typed, since in the key editor that is a pasted private key the user may have nowhere else. The end-to-end slice now carries a key as well as a host, so both item types go through the real API, the real PostgreSQL and the real crypto in one pass — the three hand-kept mappings between enums that do not line up are the reason that is worth doing rather than trusting the unit suites. 735 tests green, including the container-backed SSH and end-to-end suites. Zero warnings, dotnet format clean.	2026-07-29 20:27:23 +02:00
