Struct AgeVaultProvider 

pub struct AgeVaultProvider { /* private fields */ }

Age-encrypted vault backend.

Secrets are stored as a JSON object ({"KEY": "value", ...}) encrypted with an x25519 keypair using the age format. The in-memory secret values are held in zeroize::Zeroizing buffers.

File layout

<dir>/vault-key.txt   # age identity (private key), Unix mode 0600
<dir>/secrets.age     # age-encrypted JSON object

Initialising a new vault

Use AgeVaultProvider::init_vault to generate a fresh keypair and create an empty vault:

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

AgeVaultProvider::init_vault(Path::new("/etc/zeph"))?;
// Produces:
//   /etc/zeph/vault-key.txt  (mode 0600)
//   /etc/zeph/secrets.age    (empty encrypted vault)

Atomic writes

save writes to a .age.tmp sibling file first, then renames it atomically, so a crash during write never leaves the vault in a corrupted state.

Implementations

impl AgeVaultProvider

pub fn new( key_path: &Path, vault_path: &Path, ) -> Result<AgeVaultProvider, AgeVaultError>

Decrypt an age-encrypted JSON secrets file.

This is an alias for load provided for ergonomic construction.

Arguments

• key_path — path to the age identity (private key) file. Lines starting with # and blank lines are ignored; the first non-comment line is parsed as the identity.
• vault_path — path to the age-encrypted JSON file.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on key/vault read failure, parse error, or decryption failure.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let vault = AgeVaultProvider::new(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
println!("{} secrets loaded", vault.list_keys().len());

pub fn load( key_path: &Path, vault_path: &Path, ) -> Result<AgeVaultProvider, AgeVaultError>

Load vault from disk, storing paths for subsequent write operations.

Reads and decrypts the vault, then retains both paths so that save can re-encrypt and persist changes without requiring callers to pass paths again.

This method performs blocking I/O on the calling thread. Use load_async when calling from an async context to avoid stalling the tokio executor.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on key/vault read failure, parse error, or decryption failure.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;

pub async fn load_async( key_path: &Path, vault_path: &Path, ) -> Result<AgeVaultProvider, AgeVaultError>

Async variant of load — offloads blocking I/O to a spawn_blocking thread.

Use this when calling from an async context to avoid stalling the tokio executor.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on key/vault read failure, parse error, decryption failure, or if the blocking task panics.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let vault = AgeVaultProvider::load_async(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
).await?;

pub fn save(&self) -> Result<(), AgeVaultError>

Serialize and re-encrypt secrets to vault file using atomic write (temp + rename).

Re-reads and re-parses the key file on each call. For CLI one-shot use this is acceptable; if used in a long-lived context consider caching the parsed identity.

This method performs blocking I/O on the calling thread. Use save_async when calling from an async context to avoid stalling the tokio executor.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on encryption or write failure.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let mut vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
vault.set_secret_mut("MY_TOKEN".into(), "tok_abc123".into(), false)?;
vault.save()?;

pub async fn save_async(&self) -> Result<(), AgeVaultError>

Async variant of save — offloads blocking I/O to a spawn_blocking thread.

Use this when calling from an async context to avoid stalling the tokio executor.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on encryption or write failure, or if the blocking task panics.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let mut vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
vault.set_secret_mut("MY_TOKEN".into(), "tok_abc123".into(), false)?;
vault.save_async().await?;

pub fn set_secret_mut( &mut self, key: String, value: String, overwrite: bool, ) -> Result<(), AgeVaultError>

Insert or update a secret in the in-memory map.

Refuses to replace an existing key unless overwrite is true, so that callers cannot silently destroy a previously-stored secret by accident — see #5955 (and the sibling incident #5874, which hit the same gap in the zeph init durable-execution wizard before this guard existed at the vault layer). Callers that intend an unconditional update (e.g. OAuth token refresh) pass overwrite: true explicitly.

Call save afterwards to persist the change to disk.

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError::AlreadyExists if key is already present and overwrite is false. The in-memory map is left untouched in that case.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let mut vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
vault.set_secret_mut("API_KEY".into(), "sk-...".into(), false)?;
vault.save()?;

pub fn remove_secret_mut(&mut self, key: &str) -> bool

Remove a secret from the in-memory map.

Returns true if the key existed and was removed, false if it was not present. Call save afterwards to persist the removal to disk.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let mut vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
let removed = vault.remove_secret_mut("OLD_KEY");
if removed {
    vault.save()?;
}

pub fn list_keys(&self) -> Vec<&str>

Return sorted list of secret keys (no values exposed).

Keys are returned in ascending lexicographic order. Secret values are never included.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
for key in vault.list_keys() {
    println!("{key}");
}

pub fn get(&self, key: &str) -> Option<&str>

Look up a secret value by key, returning None if not present.

Returns a borrowed &str tied to the lifetime of the vault. For async use across await points, use VaultProvider::get_secret instead, which returns an owned String.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

let vault = AgeVaultProvider::load(
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/vault-key.txt"),
    Path::new("/etc/zeph/secrets.age"),
)?;
match vault.get("ZEPH_OPENAI_API_KEY") {
    Some(key) => println!("key length: {}", key.len()),
    None => println!("key not configured"),
}

pub fn init_vault(dir: &Path) -> Result<(), AgeVaultError>

Generate a new x25519 keypair, write the key file (mode 0600), and create an empty encrypted vault.

Creates dir and all missing parent directories before writing files. Existing files are not checked — calling this on an already-initialised directory will overwrite both the key and the vault, making the old key irrecoverable.

Output files

File	Contents	Unix mode
<dir>/vault-key.txt	age identity (private + public key comment)	0600
<dir>/secrets.age	age-encrypted empty JSON object {}	default

Errors

Returns AgeVaultError on key/vault write failure or encryption failure.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use zeph_vault::AgeVaultProvider;

AgeVaultProvider::init_vault(Path::new("/etc/zeph"))?;
// /etc/zeph/vault-key.txt and /etc/zeph/secrets.age are now ready.
