What

Removes the dead reveal/eye control from SecretRow (canvas Settings → Secrets) and replaces it with an honest static write-only indicator.

Why

User reported the eye on CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN "doesnt work" (ws 30ba7f0b-…). Root cause (observed in source, not Anthropic-specific, not a server 4xx/5xx):

• SecretRow.tsx RevealToggle toggled a local revealed bool; the row always rendered secret.masked_value and never consumed revealed.
• RevealToggle.tsx:26 shows eye-with-slash when revealed===true → a clicked row looks "active" but reveals nothing.
• secrets.ts has no plaintext-fetch fn; server secrets.go:29 List "Never exposes values"; only decrypted route is bulk GET /secrets/values, token-gated for remote agents, never called by canvas.

Secret values are write-only from the browser by design. Reveal is architecturally impossible without a deliberate security regression (out of scope). The fix makes the affordance honest instead of lying. Edit (rotate/replace) and Delete are independent of reveal and unaffected.

Changes

• canvas/src/components/settings/SecretRow.tsx: drop RevealToggle import/usage + dead revealed state + 30s auto-hide effect + reset-on-unmount effect; add static 🔒 write-only indicator (role="img", aria-label, title "Value is write-only and cannot be revealed — use Edit to replace/rotate it"). RevealToggle.tsx left intact — still used by KeyValueField.
• SecretRow.test.tsx: replace "has Reveal…" assertion; add regression tests — no reveal toggle, write-only indicator present (incl. the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN/anthropic row), indicator is non-button + explanatory.

Test

• npx vitest run src/components/settings/__tests__/SecretRow.test.tsx → 24 passed (3 new fail before / pass after).
• Full src/components/settings + a11y suites: 208 passed. Lint clean for changed files.

Refs

• Tracking: internal#490
• Sibling Secrets/Tokens fixes: PR #1415 (fix/workspace-tokens-global-sentinel-500) + PR #1420 (fix(runtime+canvas): surface actionable provider errors) — referenced in triage as internal#210 / internal#211 (issue-title vs triage-framing mismatch noted in #490).
• Scope guard: does not touch claude_sdk_executor.py / executor_helpers.py / agent-error path (internal#212).

Out of scope (noted for follow-up)

handleCopy also copies the masked placeholder (secrets.ts secrets.go) — a separate latent dead-affordance; not expanded here to keep the diff surgical to the reported reveal bug.

SOP-Checklist

Filled by the PR author (hongming). Each item answered truthfully from the
actual diff (canvas/src/components/settings/SecretRow.tsx +
SecretRow.test.tsx, 2 files, +61/-25, pure frontend) and the real
verification state. Peer-acks are a separate non-author reviewer action.

• Comprehensive testing performed: Yes. The change is frontend-only
  (one React component + its vitest/RTL spec). The appropriate comprehensive
  test surface for it is the canvas vitest suite, which CI / all-required
  ran (Canvas (Next.js) job → npx vitest run --coverage, fired because
  the diff touches canvas/**) and which is green on head
  0d6b61bf. SecretRow.test.tsx gained 3 regression tests: (a) no
  reveal-toggle/"toggle reveal" control renders, (b) the static
  write-only-indicator is present with an honest title
  (/write-only|cannot be revealed/) and is not a <button>, and
  (c) the same indicator is present for the originally-reported
  CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN (anthropic group) row; the prior
  "has Reveal, Copy, Edit, Delete" assertion was updated to drop Reveal.
  Verification is the authoritative CI run, not a local re-derivation.

• Local-postgres E2E run: N/A — justified. Pure-frontend change.
  The diff is two .tsx files under canvas/src/components/settings/;
  it touches no Go handler, no SQL, no migration, no API route, no store
  persistence. There is no Postgres-reachable code path in this PR, so a
  local-postgres E2E would exercise nothing related to the change. The
  SOP config explicitly sanctions "N/A: pure-frontend change" for this
  item.

• Staging-smoke verified or pending: Pending post-merge (no
  pre-merge backend surface to smoke) — justified. There is no server or
  API behaviour change to smoke; the only runtime delta is a static DOM
  element swapped for a dead interactive one. The canvas image redeploys
  to staging post-merge via the existing redeploy-tenants-on-staging
  pipeline; visual confirmation of the honest indicator is a post-merge
  staging check, not a pre-merge gate for a pure component change.

• Root-cause not symptom: Root cause = the reveal/eye control was
  architecturally incapable of ever revealing a value, not a transient
  or environment-specific failure. Secret values are write-only from the
  browser by design: server secrets.go List "Never exposes values",
  there is no per-secret decrypt endpoint, the only decrypted path
  (GET /secrets/values) is bulk + token-gated for remote agents and is
  never called by canvas, and the client secrets.ts has no
  plaintext-fetch function at all. The old RevealToggle only flipped
  its own icon (to eye-with-slash) while the row always rendered
  masked_value, so it read as "broken" — the user-reported symptom on
  CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN. The fix removes the lying affordance and
  states the write-only invariant honestly; it does not add a reveal
  capability (that would be a deliberate security regression — out of
  scope). This addresses the cause (a dead affordance contradicting the
  security model), not the symptom (one row "not working").

• Five-Axis review walked: Yes. Genuine non-author dual review on
  head 0d6b61bf: core-fe APPROVE (review 4388, official) and
  core-uiux five-axis security/UX COMMENT (review 4409) — both record
  "CODE IS CLEAN, no finding" across correctness / security /
  tests / maintainability / ops. Security axis: the new element is a
  non-interactive role="img" span, not a button — it cannot fetch or
  display plaintext; attack surface is strictly reduced (a dead
  reveal-shaped control removed).

• No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: Yes — none added.
  This is a net code reduction (removes revealed state, AUTO_HIDE_MS,
  the 30s auto-hide effect, and the reset-on-unmount effect). No compat
  shim is appropriate or added: secret values were never browser-readable,
  so there is no prior working behaviour to preserve a shim for — keeping
  a non-functional toggle "for compatibility" is exactly the
  dead-code-accretion this item guards against. RevealToggle.tsx is
  intentionally left in the tree because KeyValueField.tsx:74 still
  legitimately imports and renders it — verified; it is NOT orphaned dead
  code. The removal of the affordance from SecretRow is intentional and
  final.

• Memory/saved-feedback consulted: Yes. Applicable saved feedback:
  feedback_surface_actionable_failure_reason_to_user (a control that
  silently does nothing is an opaque-failure defect — make the affordance
  honest about why the value can't be shown) and the
  fix-root-not-symptom principle (fix the architectural cause, not the
  single reported row). No memory contradicts this change; no
  canvas-accessibility memory applies adversely (the new element carries
  an aria-label + role="img").

fix(canvas): make Settings→Secrets reveal honest (value is write-only) ... 0d6b61bfff

The eye/RevealToggle in SecretRow was a dead affordance: it flipped a
local `revealed` boolean but the row always rendered `masked_value` and
never consumed it, so nothing was ever revealed. RevealToggle renders an
eye-WITH-SLASH when revealed=true, so a clicked row looked "active" while
showing nothing — read by users as "this doesnt work" (reported on
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN / Anthropic group).

Root cause is not Anthropic/OAuth/category-specific and not a server
4xx/5xx: secret values are write-only from the browser by design — the
server List handler "Never exposes values", there is no per-secret
decrypt route, and the only decrypted path (GET /secrets/values) is bulk
+ token-gated for remote agents and never called by canvas. The client
has no plaintext-fetch function. Reveal is architecturally impossible
without a deliberate security regression (out of scope).

Fix: remove the dead toggle (+ its local state / auto-hide effect) and
show a static write-only indicator (lock + explanatory title). Edit
(rotate/replace) and Delete are unaffected and independent of reveal.

Refs: internal#490; sibling Secrets/Tokens fixes PR #1415 + #1420
(referenced in triage as internal#210 / internal#211). Does not touch
the agent-error path (internal#212).

[core-security-agent] APPROVED — security-positive UX. SecretRow: removes broken RevealToggle (values are write-only, no server-side decrypt path exists from browser). Replaces with static lock emoji + aria-label + title describing write-only contract. aria-label is static, not user-controlled. OWASP 0/1

APPROVE — good UX fix.

What this changes

SecretRow.tsx removes the non-functional RevealToggle (eye icon) that appeared to reveal secret values but couldn't — the server's List endpoint never exposes values. Replaced with an honest static "write-only" indicator with role="img" and a descriptive aria-label explaining that the value cannot be revealed and Edit should be used instead.

Code quality

• Clean removal of revealed state, revealTimerRef, and related timer cleanup logic — dead code gone ✅
• Descriptive comment explaining why values are write-only ✅
• aria-label on the write-only indicator is descriptive and actionable ✅
• Test coverage updated with write-only-indicator testid ✅

UX note

Users clicking "eye" and seeing "not available" is worse than no button at all — this is the right call. The indicator honestly communicates what the system can do.

Genuine five-axis review (UX/security focus) — CODE IS CLEAN, no finding:

• Security: removes a dead reveal affordance (server List never exposes values, no decrypt route); new element is a non-interactive role=img span, not a button — cannot fetch/show plaintext. No secret-reveal regression; attack surface strictly reduced.
• Correctness: revealed state + auto-hide timer + cleanup effect removed cleanly, no dangling refs; masked_value still rendered.
• Tests: 3 regression tests incl. the reported CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN row.
• Maintainability/Ops: clear rationale comment, net simplification.

NOT approving / cannot merge: the REQUIRED context 'sop-checklist / all-items-acked' is FAILING on the current head (acked 5/7 — missing: root-cause, no-backwards-compat; body-unfilled: comprehensive-testing, local-postgres-e2e, staging-smoke, +4). Author must fill the SOP checklist sections + acks in the PR body. PARKED on that required gate — no bypass, no compensating status.

Senior review (app-lead, managers team) — PR #1421 @ 0d6b61bf

Genuine five-axis senior review. Verdict: CLEAN — no Critical/Required findings.

Root-cause vs symptom (sop-ack gated)

The reported defect singled out CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN not revealing. The symptom-only fix would have wired a decrypt call for that one row/group. The real root-cause, evidenced in code: secret values are architecturally write-only from the browser — server List endpoint "Never exposes values", there is no per-secret decrypt route, and SecretRow only ever holds secret.masked_value (no plaintext field on the Secret type). The old RevealToggle was driven by local useState(false) and could only flip its own eye icon — it could never produce plaintext. Removing it for all rows (group-agnostic; covered by the OAuth-token regression test) and replacing with an honest static indicator is the true root-cause fix, not papering over the one reported row. PASSES.

No backwards-compat shim / dead code (sop-ack gated)

No compat shim added — correct: values were never browser-readable so there is nothing to preserve and no consumer behavior regressed. The change removes dead code (revealed state, AUTO_HIDE_MS, two useEffect hooks, revealTimerRef). RevealToggle.tsx is verified NOT orphaned: KeyValueField.tsx still imports (line 4) and uses (line 74) it for a user-entered input where type={revealed ? 'text' : 'password'} — reveal is genuinely meaningful on that distinct surface. No dangling revealed/RevealToggle symbols remain in SecretRow; useEffect is still used by the validation debounce. No dead code accreted. PASSES.

Correctness / readability / architecture

Clean removal, well-documented rationale comment. Indicator is role=img + aria-label + non-button element — honest, non-interactive. Architecturally consistent with the write-only secrets model.

Security

Strictly reduces attack surface (removes a state path). Only masked_value is ever rendered/copied (pre-existing, untouched by this PR). No plaintext exposure introduced or regressed. Net security-positive.

Performance

Removes two useEffect hooks + a timer per secret row — net positive at scale.

Tests

3 new regression tests genuinely cover: (a) reveal toggle absent, (b) write-only indicator present + honest (asserts non-BUTTON tag and title text), (c) the specific reported CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN row. Real behavioral coverage of the no-reveal / honest-indicator contract.

/sop-ack root-cause Root-cause is the write-only-from-browser architecture: no per-secret decrypt route, SecretRow only ever holds masked_value, the RevealToggle was local-state-only and could never produce plaintext. Removing the lying affordance for ALL rows (group-agnostic, covered by the OAuth-token regression test) is the true fix, not a per-row symptom patch. Senior-attested after full code review (see app-lead review 4411).

/sop-ack no-backwards-compat No compat shim is correct — values were never browser-readable so nothing to preserve and no consumer regressed. Change removes dead code (revealed state, AUTO_HIDE_MS, 2 useEffects, timer ref). RevealToggle.tsx verified still used by KeyValueField.tsx (import line 4, usage line 74) on a legitimately-revealable user-input surface, so it is NOT orphaned. No dead code accreted. Senior-attested after full code review (see app-lead review 4411).
