// owner: d2-machine-secret-store

//! The one persisted GitHub credential, in a place a boot-time service can
//! read.
//!
//! `07-security.md` counts the persisted credential surface and gets to one:
//! *"The product now holds exactly one persisted GitHub credential and one
//! short-lived sensitive value."* This module is where that one credential
//! lives. The short-lived one — the encoded JIT configuration — belongs to
//! [`crate::process::RestrictiveHandoff`] and is not stored here or anywhere
//! else.
//!
//! # The constraint that decides the whole design
//!
//! D13 requires the service to start at **machine boot**.
//! `05-infrastructure.md`: *"A boot-time service runs outside any user's login
//! session and cannot read a per-user keychain on any supported OS: macOS
//! LaunchAgents start only at login, and Windows Credential Manager vaults are
//! per-user."* So the default store is machine-scoped, and every per-user
//! secret facility on all three operating systems is unavailable to it by
//! construction rather than by preference.
//!
//! | OS | [`SecretScope::Machine`] | [`SecretScope::User`] |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | Windows | DPAPI **machine** scope, in a file under `%ProgramData%` with its own protected DACL | DPAPI **user** scope, in a file under `%LOCALAPPDATA%` with its own protected DACL |
//! | macOS | System Keychain (`/Library/Keychains/System.keychain`) | the account's login keychain |
//! | Linux | `0600` file under `/var/lib/runner-manager`, plus the systemd credential the service is started with | `0600` file under `$XDG_DATA_HOME/runner-manager` |
//!
//! `service install --start-at login` is the escape hatch
//! `07-security.md` promises operators who reject machine-scoped storage:
//! *"Operators who reject this can use `service install --start-at login` and
//! keep a user-scoped store, accepting no unattended restart."* Both columns
//! implement [`SecretStore`], the active one is chosen by
//! [`SecretScope::for_start_mode`], and [`ActiveStore`] is what `host show`
//! and `service status` print so the choice is inspectable rather than
//! implied.
//!
//! # The accepted trade-off, implemented honestly
//!
//! A local administrator or `root` on this machine can read a machine-scoped
//! secret. `07-security.md` records that as an accepted consequence, on the
//! grounds that such an account *"can already read the runner's own
//! credentials and job workspaces"*. Nothing here tries to defeat it, and
//! nothing here pretends to. What is defended is the case that is actually in
//! the threat model: **an ordinary local user who is not an administrator must
//! not be able to read the stored value**, and [`SecretStore::protection`]
//! reports whether that holds, per OS, through the one cross-platform name
//! [`crate::process::permissions_summary`] already defines.
//!
//! Delete is delete, not erasure. [`crate::process::RestrictiveHandoff`] sets
//! out why no userspace program can promise that the bytes are unrecoverable —
//! a journal, a snapshot, or an SSD's wear levelling each keep copies an
//! overwrite never reaches — and the same disclaimer applies here. The Linux
//! backend overwrites before unlinking because the value is at rest in
//! plaintext there and the overwrite is free; that is a best effort and is not
//! a claim.
//!
//! # What never holds this value
//!
//! SQLite, TOML configuration, logs, diagnostics, UI state, and command-line
//! arguments. The type system carries as much of that as it can: the value
//! crosses this module's surface only as a [`SecretString`], which has no
//! `Display` and a redacting `Debug`, and no error in [`SecretStoreError`]
//! carries the value or any part of it. `client_id` is public by design
//! (`07-security.md`: *"Public by design; may appear in logs and
//! documentation"*) and is not a secret this store handles.
//!
//! # Blocking, not async
//!
//! DPAPI, Security.framework and `open(2)` are blocking calls that take
//! microseconds. This runs twice in the life of a process — once at `auth
//! login`, once at startup — so an async surface would buy nothing and would
//! oblige every caller to be in a runtime to read a file.
//!
//! # Where a test may point it, and where it may not
//!
//! [`PlatformSecretStore::standard`] resolves the production location in the
//! table above. [`PlatformSecretStore::rooted_at`] puts the same backend under
//! a directory the caller names, exactly as
//! [`crate::paths::AppPaths::rooted_at`] does for the four application-data
//! directories, and for the same two reasons: a test needs a disposable store,
//! and a service installed against an explicitly configured root has to
//! reproduce one.
//!
//! **No test in this crate writes to a standard location**, and that is a
//! deliberate constraint rather than an oversight. Two of the six standard
//! locations need `root` to create (`/var/lib`, the System Keychain), and the
//! other four are the operator's real store — a suite that wrote there would
//! destroy a developer's `auth login` every time it ran. So the standard
//! locations are asserted by *resolution*, and every round trip runs against a
//! rooted store. What that does and does not cover is written out at
//! [`PlatformSecretStore::rooted_at`].

mod sys {
    //! DPAPI, in a file whose DACL is this store's real access control.
    //!
    //! # Two mechanisms, and which one is doing the work
    //!
    //! `CryptProtectData` with `CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE` produces a blob
    //! that **any process on this machine** can unprotect. That is not a
    //! weakness in the flag, it is the definition of machine scope, and it is
    //! what D13 needs: a service starting at boot, under an account that has
    //! never logged in, has no user master key to decrypt with. The
    //! consequence is that the encryption is not the access control — the
    //! file's DACL is. `07-security.md` says the same thing from the other
    //! end: *"Stored only in the machine-scoped secret store, ACL'd to the
    //! service account."*
    //!
    //! The user-scoped store passes no scope flag, so the blob is bound to the
    //! calling account's master key. There the encryption *is* an access
    //! control, and the DACL is a second one.
    //!
    //! # The DACL, and why it is not `process.rs`'s
    //!
    //! [`crate::process::RestrictiveHandoff`] writes
    //! `D:P(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;;FA;;;<this account>)` and documents at length why it
    //! carries no `SY` ACE: that file's writer and reader are the same
    //! process, so if the process is `LocalSystem` its own SID *is* S-1-5-18
    //! and a separate ACE adds nothing.
    //!
    //! This store's writer and reader are **not** the same process. `auth
    //! login` runs as the interactive operator; the daemon runs as whatever
    //! `service install` registered, which defaults to `LocalSystem`. So `SY`
    //! is load-bearing here in exactly the case where it was redundant there,
    //! and the machine-scoped DACL carries it. The user-scoped DACL does not,
    //! because a user-scoped store is deliberately not for a service.
    //!
    //! The third trustee is `OW` — OWNER RIGHTS, S-1-3-4 — rather than the
    //! creating account's SID read back out of the process token. When a DACL
    //! contains an ACE for OWNER RIGHTS, that ACE is what the object's owner
    //! gets, and the owner of a file is the account that created it. So `OW`
    //! says "the account that ran `auth login` keeps access to what it stored"
    //! without opening a process token, without a `TOKEN_USER` buffer, and
    //! without a second copy of the SID lookup `process.rs` already carries.
    //!
    //! **That sentence held only while `auth login` was the sole writer.** Token
    //! renewal made the daemon a second writer under a different account, and
    //! because every write creates a new file, the owner moved with it and `OW`
    //! stopped meaning the operator. [`replacement_sddl`] is what keeps the
    //! grant `OW` describes from evaporating; it carries the previous owner's
    //! SID onto the replacement explicitly.
    //!
    //! # One store per host, and what a second operator actually gets
    //!
    //! An earlier version of this paragraph said that ownership moves with the
    //! write, so a second non-administrative operator's `auth login` "takes"
    //! the store. **That was wrong, and it was wrong in the optimistic
    //! direction.** Ownership does not move, because the write never lands:
    //! `store` finishes with a replacing rename, a replacing rename deletes the
    //! target, and delete is granted by `DELETE` on the file or
    //! `FILE_DELETE_CHILD` on its parent. `sddl(Machine)` names `SY`, `BA` and
    //! `OW`, none of which is operator B; and a stock `%ProgramData%` grants
    //! `BUILTIN\Users` only `(OI)(CI)(RX)` plus `(CI)(WD,AD,WEA,WA)` — `WD`
    //! lets B create the temporary, and the absence of `DC` and `DE` is what
    //! denies the rename. So B's `auth login` **fails**.
    //!
    //! That is the correct behaviour, and it is the behaviour this store now
    //! states rather than stumbles into. **The machine-scoped value is the
    //! host's one credential, not an operator's.** `07-security.md` counts the
    //! persisted credential surface and gets to one; `service install`
    //! registers one service reading one store; the domain has one `Host` and
    //! `d1`'s lock permits one agent. A second operator does not get a second
    //! store, and whether B may overwrite A's token is a policy question whose
    //! answer is "only if B is trusted with this host" — which on Windows is
    //! spelled *administrator*, and `BA` already grants it.
    //!
    //! What changed is the *failure*, not the policy. [`cannot_replace`] asks
    //! before anything is encrypted or written, so B gets a message naming the
    //! three ways forward instead of a bare "Access is denied" raised at the
    //! last step of the write, after a valid machine-decryptable blob of a live
    //! token has already been placed on disk.
    //!
    //! Widening the DACL was considered and rejected. The DACL is the **entire**
    //! access control here — a machine-scope DPAPI blob is unprotectable by any
    //! process on the host, by definition — so an ACE that let B replace the
    //! file would also let every interactive account on the machine read the
    //! one credential the product holds. The reader that actually matters is
    //! the service account, which `SY` covers by default and which `d3` grants
    //! explicitly when `service install` registers a least-privilege account
    //! instead (`05-infrastructure.md`, service behaviour, item 2).
    //!
    //! [`crate::process::permissions_summary`] reads the result back, and it
    //! treats an *unprotected* DACL as broadly readable because an inherited
    //! one is not this program's to vouch for. That is why every DACL below
    //! begins `D:P`, and why the file carries its own rather than inheriting
    //! `%ProgramData%`'s, which grants `BU` read.
    //!
    //! # Write, then replace
    //!
    //! The blob goes to a temporary file *carrying its final DACL from the
    //! moment it exists*, is `sync_all`ed, and is then renamed over the target.
    //! `process.rs` argues the first half — a file created and then tightened
    //! is readable for however long the gap lasts. The second half is this
    //! store's own: the value is long-lived, so a write interrupted half way
    //! must not leave a truncated blob where a whole one was.

mod sys {
    //! A generic-password item in a keychain, and which keychain is the whole
    //! of the scope.
    //!
    //! | scope | keychain | why |
    //! |---|---|---|
    //! | [`SecretScope::Machine`] | `/Library/Keychains/System.keychain` | the only keychain a process with no login session can open. A LaunchAgent starts at login; a LaunchDaemon starts at boot and has no user keychain to reach for. |
    //! | [`SecretScope::User`] | `~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db` | the operator's own keychain, unlocked by their login, gone when they log out. |
    //!
    //! # Why the login keychain is opened by path
    //!
    //! `SecKeychainCopyDefault` would give the account's *current* default
    //! keychain, which is more nearly what an operator expects. It hands back a
    //! handle and no path — and this store has to be able to name the file
    //! whose mode protects the value, both for `host show` and for
    //! [`super::SecretStore::protection`]. A store that could not say what
    //! protects it would be asserting the security property by assumption.
    //! So the login keychain is resolved by path, `login.keychain-db` first and
    //! the pre-Sierra `login.keychain` second, and an operator who has moved
    //! their default elsewhere gets the store in their login keychain rather
    //! than wherever the default now points.
    //!
    //! # User interaction is disabled around every call
    //!
    //! `SecKeychainSetUserInteractionAllowed(false)` for the duration of each
    //! operation, unconditionally. A daemon started at boot has no desktop, and
    //! a keychain call that decides to draw an unlock panel there does not fail
    //! — it waits. `errSecInteractionNotAllowed` returned in a second is a
    //! diagnosable condition; a process wedged behind an invisible dialog is
    //! not.
    //!
    //! # What a rooted keychain is for
    //!
    //! [`super::PlatformSecretStore::rooted_at`] creates a keychain of its own
    //! under the caller's root. That is the only way the suite can exercise
    //! this backend at all: writing to `/Library/Keychains/System.keychain`
    //! needs `root`, and writing to the login keychain would destroy a
    //! developer's real `auth login` every time the tests ran. What it covers
    //! and what it does not is set out on `rooted_at` itself.

    ///    credential. Nothing is broken and nothing needs repairing — the value
    ///    belongs to the account the boot-mode daemon runs as.
    /// 2. **The keychain is locked for this session.** A login keychain is
    ///    unlocked for the desktop session that logged in, and an SSH session
    ///    is not that session: measured on macOS 27, even the binary that wrote
    ///    an item reads `-25293` over SSH while the LaunchAgent beside it reads
    ///    the same item fine. Nothing about the item is wrong, and signing in
    ///    from there cannot work either.
    /// 3. **The item was written by a different build.** The login keychain
    ///    partitions every item to the code that created it, and an ad-hoc
    ///    signed binary's partition is its code hash, so every release is a
    ///    stranger to the item the previous one wrote. The daemon hands its

    //!
    //! `05-infrastructure.md` gives the Linux machine store as *"`0600` file
    //! plus systemd credentials"*, and the two halves are not alternatives.
    //!
    //! **The file** is what `auth login` writes and what `auth logout` removes.
    //! It holds the token at rest with no encryption, because there is no key
    //! to encrypt it with that a boot-time service could also reach — a key in
    //! a second file is not a key, it is an indirection. Its mode is therefore
    //! the entire access control, which is why it is `0600` inside a `0700`
    //! directory and why [`super::SecretStore::protection`] reports the mode
    //! rather than something more reassuring.
    //!
    //! **The systemd credential** is a *read* path, not a write path. A unit
    //! given `LoadCredentialEncrypted=` has the value decrypted into a private
    //! `ramfs` at `$CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY`, mounted read-only and visible to
    //! no other unit, and nothing is ever written to the agent's own disk. An
    //! operator who has gone to that trouble should not also have to keep a
    //! plaintext copy beside it, so a credential — when one is present — wins.
    //!
    //! That precedence is the reason `store` and `delete` refuse rather than
    //! pretend. A `store` whose value would be shadowed by the credential on
    //! the very next `load` has not stored anything useful, and an `auth
    //! logout` that removed the file while the credential kept the daemon
    //! authenticated would be a false negative in the one procedure —
    //! `05-infrastructure.md`'s credential-disclosure response — where a false
    //! negative is worst. Both say what the operator has to change instead.
    //!
    //! # Machine scope is `/var/lib`, and that is the point
    //!
    //! `$XDG_DATA_HOME` resolves under `$HOME`, and an account that has never
    //! logged in has no `$HOME` to speak of; `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is cleared when
    //! the session ends, which is exactly the event a boot-time service starts
    //! before. `/var/lib/runner-manager` belongs to no session and survives a
    //! reboot, which is the whole requirement.
