Conversation
Adds `!secure` as a post-auth chat command dispatched before any agent
sees the message. Subcommands:
- `!secure set NAME=value` — stores the secret in fnox and replies
with "Stored `NAME`" + a retention-warning. Never echoes the value.
- `!secure list` — lists stored secret names (not values). Parses
fnox's output defensively; extra columns that look like values are
stripped before replying.
- `!secure help` / `!secure` — usage string.
Dispatch model (matches existing `!switch`/`!sessions`/`!default`):
- `CommandHandler::is_secure_command(&str)` — static, case-insensitive.
- `CommandHandler::handle_secure(text, identity_id) -> String` —
async (shells out to fnox), takes identity for future per-identity
audit/ACL though not used yet. Wired into telegram.rs in both
`handle_message_nonblocking` and `handle_message` paths, and added
to the unknown-command exclusion list so `!secure` doesn't get
intercepted as unknown before hitting the post-auth handler.
Subprocess approach today — `Command::new("fnox").args(["set", …])`.
Acknowledged-cost: three places now shell out to fnox (vault.rs,
secure_set, secure_list), which means three places that need an
availability check. **Follow-up PR (in flight) will migrate all three
to the fnox library crate via `fnox = { git = "https://github.com/jdx/fnox" }`**
— fnox already exposes public modules (secret_resolver, commands,
etc.) at `src/lib.rs`, so no upstream PR is needed.
Redaction discipline:
- The success reply names the stored secret but never echoes the
value; tested.
- The failure reply surfaces fnox's stderr (user needs to know why
it failed) but doesn't carry the value; tested.
- The telegram channel's `debug!` logs only that a !secure command
was handled, without the message text. A `!secure set FOO=bar`
would otherwise leak the value into ops logs.
- Name validation: `[A-Za-z0-9_-]+` only (matches the substitution
engine's accepted ref-name syntax — so a stored secret can be
immediately referenced as `{{secret:NAME}}` without a rename).
Tested with three invalid-char cases.
5 given/when/then behavioral tests:
- `secure_set_reply_includes_name_but_not_value`
- `secure_set_surfaces_fnox_error_without_echoing_value`
- `secure_unknown_subcommand_returns_help`
- `secure_set_rejects_invalid_name_chars`
- `secure_list_returns_names_only`
All use a fake-fnox shell script installed on PATH via TempDir, so
the tests are hermetic regardless of whether the real fnox is
installed on the dev/CI machine.
Explicit non-goals for this PR (follow-ups):
- `!secure remove NAME` — pending a decision on whether fnox's
own remove command or a config-file edit is the right approach.
- `!secure request NAME` — the out-of-band localhost-paste flow
that avoids chat-transport retention entirely (see
docs/rfcs/agent-secret-gateway.md §5).
- Matrix/WhatsApp channel wiring — same pattern as telegram, but
adds separate verification surface. Doing in a follow-up to keep
this PR reviewable.
- Library-based fnox integration (swap subprocess → lib calls) —
committed as next PR per user direction.

Mirror of the Telegram wiring in PR #20: Matrix users can now run \`!secure set NAME=value\`, \`!secure list\`, and \`!secure help\` the same way as Telegram users. Three changes in \`crates/zeroclawed/src/channels/matrix.rs\`: 1. Add \`!CommandHandler::is_secure_command(body)\` to the unknown-command exclusion list so \`!secure\` reaches the post-auth handler instead of being filtered as unknown. 2. New post-auth dispatch block that calls \`cmd_handler.handle_secure(body, identity_id).await\` and sends the reply. 3. \`debug!\` log includes only that a !secure command was handled, never the body text (which can contain the value). Same redaction discipline as Telegram: - Success reply names the stored secret, never echoes the value - Failure reply surfaces fnox's error, never echoes the value - Ops logs never carry the body Stacks on PR #20 (which adds \`is_secure_command\` and \`handle_secure\` to CommandHandler). Follow-ups: - WhatsApp wiring (same pattern, separate channel module — defer until WhatsApp deployment matters more) - \`!secure remove NAME\` - \`!secure request NAME\` (out-of-band paste flow per RFC §5) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds support for !secure chat commands so users can set/list secrets via fnox without routing secret values into an agent’s context, and wires the dispatch into Matrix (plus related command plumbing and Telegram parity changes included in the diff).
Changes:
- Add
CommandHandler::is_secure_commandandhandle_secureplus!securesubcommand implementations (set/list/help) and tests. - Wire
!secureinto Telegram and Matrix dispatch flows and exclude it from the unknown-command pre-auth filter. - Add redaction-oriented logging (log “handling !secure command” only, not message bodies).

In the NAME value form, value is taken verbatim (including leading spaces) and the emptiness check only rejects value.is_empty(). This allows inputs like !secure set NAME= or !secure set NAME value to store unintended whitespace. Trimming the value (and validating !value.trim().is_empty()) would make the behavior more predictable.

The comment says to “bail to a raw echo if the output isn't lines-of-tokens”, but the implementation always tokenizes and never falls back to returning raw stdout. Either implement the described fallback or adjust the comment so it matches the actual behavior.

These tests create a #!/bin/sh script and use std::os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt, which will fail to compile/run on non-Unix targets. If the project intends to keep cargo test portable, gate the fake-fnox helper/tests with #[cfg(unix)] (or provide a Windows implementation).

This comment says “Runs post-auth so we can audit who set what”, but handle_secure currently ignores the identity_id parameter (it’s named _identity_id) and doesn’t emit any audit event. Either remove the audit claim here or add an explicit audit log/event that records identity + operation + secret name (never the value).

This comment references crates/security-proxy/src/substitution.rs, but that file doesn’t exist in the repo (security-proxy/src has no substitution module). Please update the reference to the actual source of the {{secret:NAME}} name rules or remove the pointer to avoid sending readers on a dead end.

secure_set passes the secret value as a command-line argument (fnox set <name> <value>). On most systems, process argv can be read by other processes/users (e.g., via ps//proc), which defeats the “no value in logs” goal. Use a stdin-based interface (if fnox supports it), an env var, or migrate to the fnox library API so the value never appears in argv.

handle_secure uses splitn(3, ' '), which treats repeated spaces as empty fields. For example "!secure list" will produce an empty subcommand and fall into the help path. Consider using split_whitespace() (or filtering empty segments) so extra spaces/tabs don’t break command parsing.

Codex integration sweep: addressed in #38 without editing this PR branch. The integrated !secure parser uses whitespace-delimited leading_word_and_rest parsing, documents NAME=value and NAME value, and keeps whitespace input covered by tests.
Cross-cutting triage finding (PRs #20, #21, #23, #26, #28, #31): the !secure parser used `splitn(' ')` which mis-shapes multi-space input — `"!secure set NAME=v"` parsed as sub="" rest="set NAME=v", silently routing through the unknown-subcommand path with the secret in the help-error message. Switch to `split_whitespace()`. Also wires the previously-unused `identity_id` into an audit log so the `_` prefix can drop. The log records identity + subcommand, never the value (`rest`). Closes the "audit-claim docstring with no audit implementation" finding from triage.
