Summary

Replace plaintext environment variable authentication with encrypted macOS Keychain storage. This major security improvement eliminates token exposure in shell configuration files and process listings while maintaining backward compatibility for CI/CD environments.

🔐 Security Improvements

  • AES-256 encryption at rest (macOS Keychain)
  • Not visible in process list (ps aux)
  • No plaintext in shell config files (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc)
  • Secure input via rpassword (no terminal echo)
  • Token format validation before storage
  • Automatic retrieval for bwenv commands

✨ New Features

Authentication Module (src/auth/)

  • keychain.rs: macOS Keychain integration (store/retrieve/delete)
    • Service: com.bwenv.bitwarden
    • Account: default
  • mod.rs: Authentication orchestration
    • Token format validation (0.{uuid}.{data})
    • CI/CD environment detection (CI=true or non-TTY)
    • Keychain-first with env var fallback for CI
    • Organization ID extraction

Auth Commands (src/commands/auth/)

  • bwenv auth login - Interactive (rpassword) + non-interactive (--token flag)
  • bwenv auth status - Display authentication method and org ID
  • bwenv auth logout - Remove token from keychain
  • bwenv auth rotate - Token rotation helper (security best practice)

CLI Integration

  • Updated src/cli/mod.rs to use keychain-first authentication
  • Replaced BITWARDEN_ACCESS_TOKEN env var lookup with auth::get_access_token()
  • Added Auth subcommand with 4 operations

Error Handling

  • KeychainError: Wraps OS keychain errors
  • InvalidTokenFormat: Token validation failures
  • NotAuthenticated: Clear guidance to run 'bwenv auth login'

📦 Dependencies

keyring = { version = "3.6", features = ["apple-native"] }
rpassword = "7.3"

🧪 Testing

  • 94 unit tests passing (100% pass rate)
  • 11 keychain integration tests (require manual authorization)
  • Zero clippy warnings
  • Comprehensive coverage: validation, CI detection, commands

🔒 Security Audit

  • cargo audit: 3 vulnerabilities in upstream Bitwarden SDK (documented in deny.toml)
    • RUSTSEC-2023-0071: RSA Marvin Attack (no fix available, waiting for upstream)
    • RUSTSEC-2024-0421: idna Punycode (low risk for bwenv use case)
    • RUSTSEC-2024-0370: proc-macro-error unmaintained (build-time only)
  • cargo deny check: ✅ advisories ok, licenses ok, bans ok, sources ok

📚 Documentation

README.md

  • Updated Quick Start with bwenv auth login (step 2)
  • Added Authentication Commands section (4 new commands)
  • Updated Authentication section (Keychain vs Environment Variable)
  • Enhanced security notes

CLAUDE.md (New)

  • Comprehensive development guide (565 lines)
  • Development philosophy (Linus Torvalds principles)
  • Quality gates (6 gates, all must pass)
  • Git workflow (conventional commits, pre-commit hooks)
  • Release process (SemVer, changelog generation)
  • Testing strategy (unit, integration, E2E, keychain)
  • Security best practices
  • CI/CD pipelines documentation

🚫 Breaking Changes

None - Environment variable authentication still works in CI/CD environments (auto-detected via CI=true or non-TTY).

Existing Users:

  • Continue using BITWARDEN_ACCESS_TOKEN in CI/CD
  • For local development, run bwenv auth login to migrate to secure storage

New Users:

  • Start with bwenv auth login (recommended)
  • Environment variable for CI/CD only

feat(auth): Add macOS Keychain authentication with secure token storage
f189c47 
Replace plaintext environment variable authentication with encrypted macOS
Keychain storage. This significantly improves security by eliminating token
exposure in shell configuration files and process listings.

## New Features

### Authentication Module (src/auth/)
- **keychain.rs**: macOS Keychain integration (store/retrieve/delete)
  - Service: com.bwenv.bitwarden
  - Account: default
  - AES-256 encryption at rest

- **mod.rs**: Authentication orchestration
  - Token format validation (0.{uuid}.{data})
  - CI/CD environment detection (CI=true or non-TTY)
  - Keychain-first with env var fallback for CI
  - Organization ID extraction from token

### Auth Commands (src/commands/auth/)
- **login**: Interactive (rpassword) + non-interactive (--token flag)
- **status**: Display authentication method and org ID
- **logout**: Remove token from keychain
- **rotate**: Token rotation helper (security best practice)

### CLI Integration
- Updated src/cli/mod.rs to use keychain-first authentication
- Replaced BITWARDEN_ACCESS_TOKEN env var lookup with auth::get_access_token()
- Added Auth subcommand with 4 operations: login, logout, status, rotate

feat(security): Enhance CI detection and add automatic token memory c…
f6db197 
…learing

- Add CI environment detection for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Travis CI
- Implement automatic token memory clearing using zeroize crate
- Update keychain functions to return Zeroizing<String> for secure memory handling
- Add comprehensive keychain test documentation with authorization requirements
- Fix deny.toml license configuration (GPL-3.0 → GPL-3.0-only, add Unicode-3.0, CDLA-Permissive-2.0)

Security Improvements:
- Zeroizing<String> automatically clears tokens from memory when dropped
- Broader CI/CD compatibility with 5 environment variable checks (CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, GITLAB_CI, CIRCLECI, TRAVIS)
- Enhanced token format validation before storage and retrieval

Testing:
- All 91 non-keychain tests passing
- 12 keychain tests documented with manual testing instructions
- 4 new CI detection unit tests added

Quality Gates: All passed (fmt, clippy, test, build, deny)

No breaking changes - existing functionality preserved.

test(e2e): Fix phantom process leaks with Drop trait cleanup
7a14756 
# Problem
E2E tests spawning bwenv CLI binary left phantom processes when
interrupted (Ctrl+C) or panicking, causing resource leaks and
port conflicts during development.

# Root Cause
TestContext had empty Drop trait that only logged warnings without
actually killing spawned processes.

# Solution
Implemented minimal Drop trait fix following "good taste" principle:
- 5-line change vs proposed 100+ line ProcessGuard solution
- Uses pkill to kill test-spawned bwenv processes
- No new dependencies, cross-platform (macOS/Linux)
- RAII pattern guarantees cleanup on panic/early return

# Prevention Tools Added
- scripts/check-process-leaks.sh: Pre-test leak detection
- .cargo/config.toml: Cargo aliases (test-clean, test-watch)
- clippy.toml: Process management lint documentation
- docs/TESTING.md: Comprehensive testing guide and patterns

# Testing
- cargo test --lib: 103 tests passing
- ./scripts/check-process-leaks.sh: Clean baseline verified

# References
- Linus Torvalds "Good Taste": Eliminate special cases
- RAII pattern for resource management
- Evidence-based approach: Investigate before implementing

test(auth): Mark interactive keychain tests as ignored
4f9e085 
# Problem
Tests calling macOS Keychain functions triggered authorization prompts,
causing:
- Tests hanging indefinitely when user denies permission
- CI/CD environments unable to run test suite
- Process leaks from force-killed hanging tests
- Poor developer experience with repeated prompts

# Root Cause
10 auth command tests called keychain functions without #[ignore]:
- login.rs: 2 tests
- logout.rs: 3 tests
- rotate.rs: 4 tests
- status.rs: 1 test

# Solution
Used standard library #[ignore] attribute (no custom implementation):

```rust
#[tokio::test]
#[ignore = "Requires macOS Keychain authorization - run manually: cargo test --lib -- --ignored"]
async fn test_execute_with_valid_token() {
    // Test code
}
```

# Benefits
- cargo test --lib: Completes in 2.6s without prompts (89 passed, 14 ignored)
- cargo test --lib -- --ignored: Runs keychain tests manually
- CI/CD compatible: No hanging tests
- No process leaks from interrupted tests

# Testing
Before: Tests hung waiting for authorization, required force kill
After: 89 passed; 0 failed; 14 ignored; 2.63s

# Documentation
- Updated TESTING.md with keychain test patterns
- Updated CLAUDE.md testing strategy section
- Clear instructions for running ignored tests manually
