ci: triage CodeQL's first scan of main - #1982
Conversation
…otify jobs These jobs inherited the repository's default token permissions, which CodeQL reports as actions/missing-workflow-permissions. The default is read today, so nothing changes at runtime; declaring it keeps a change to that setting from widening these jobs. notify-platform gets no token permissions at all, because it dispatches with its own GitHub App token.
CodeQL's first scan of main raised 49 alerts. Thirty were reviewed and are false positives; each now carries a `# codeql[rule-id]` comment on the line above it, so the decision lives next to the code and in git history: - clear-text-logging (24): the logged values are provider, model and instance names, env var names, OAuth provider names, header-name constants and an API key's row id, never a credential. - full-ssrf (2): the health probe URL comes from operator config; the tool-settings probe is behind require_deployment_operator. - unsafe-deserialization (2): both loaders subclass yaml.SafeLoader. - weak-sensitive-data-hashing (2): SHA-256 of a high-entropy API key, and an HMAC-SHA256 account digest; neither is a password. The workflow adds CodeQL's AlertSuppression query for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript and runs advanced-security/dismiss-alerts on main, which dismisses an alert whose comment is present and re-opens it if the comment is removed. tests/ is added to paths-ignore, since fixtures use fake secrets on purpose.

Keep raw exception text out of these logs.
The three handlers log caught exceptions directly. Upstream error bodies can echo request content, and exception messages can contain credentials. These log calls do not use redact_upstream_message. The logging predates this PR, but the PR adds CodeQL suppressions that hide the existing risk. Log fixed text or the exception type only, and test that a secret-bearing exception is absent from the logs.

Not changing this here. These logs go only to the operator, and any credential in a provider's error text would be the operator's own key. The provider already masks that key in its errors, and the copy that reaches a caller or the usage row goes through redact_upstream_message. Logging only type(exc).__name__ would throw away the one line an operator uses to tell why a provider call failed. Running the log through redact_upstream_message doesn't work either: it drops the whole message when it sees a payload echo, and it masks URLs, and both are things an operator needs to see. You're right that a provider echoing a large request body into the log is a real issue, but it predates this PR, which only touches CI and comments. It should get its own change with a log-specific redactor.

@daavoo Thanks for the guidance. I agree that exception-type-only logging would remove useful diagnostics. redact_upstream_message serves caller-facing output and usage rows; it is not a suitable replacement for a log-specific redactor.
No change is needed here on my account. The payload-echo risk remains a separate follow-up, not a completed fix.
Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for a log-specific redactor that preserves diagnostic URLs and failure details, bounds payload echoes, and includes regression tests?

Learning: In Otari, exception logs in src/gateway/api/routes/_pipeline.py are operator-only diagnostic output. Caller-facing error text and usage-row error text use redact_upstream_message. That helper can discard payload-echo messages and mask URLs, so it is not suitable for operator logs that need those diagnostics. Log hardening should use a log-specific redactor rather than replacing exception messages with exception types alone.

Description
CodeQL's first scan of
main(after #974) raised 49 alerts. This PR resolves 42 of them. Nothing changes for someone running Otari: the only edits to application code are comments.# codeql[rule-id]comment on the line above it, so the decision sits next to the code and in git history rather than only in the Security tab. CodeQL's alert-suppression query reads those comments, and a new step dismisses the matching alerts onmainruns (and re-opens one whose comment is removed). Why each is a false positive:keyorprivate.require_deployment_operator, which only the master key or a deployment superuser passes; its docstring already says the missing deny-list is deliberate.yaml.SafeLoader(orCSafeLoader); CodeQL does not follow the subclass.tests/, now inpaths-ignore: fixtures hash and match on fake secrets on purpose.Left for a follow-up, not reviewed yet:
py/polynomial-redos,py/url-redirection,py/cookie-injectionandpy/clear-text-storage-sensitive-datain the OAuth service,js/clear-text-storage-of-sensitive-datain the OAuth callback page, and the twoactions/untrusted-checkoutalerts onreview-pr.yml. The last two look like false positives (the checkout ismain; the PR head is fetched as git objects only), but CodeQL ships no suppression query for workflow files, so they have to be dismissed by hand.One thing to know about the suppression query: for Python it also treats a bare
# noqaas "suppress every CodeQL rule on this line". The repository has none today, and the workflow comment says so, but a ruffnoqashould keep naming its rule.How to test it locally

Summary
main.tests/from CodeQL scans because test fixtures contain fake secrets.These changes reduce CodeQL noise and limit workflow permissions. Seven alerts remain for follow-up, including two that require manual dismissal.
Technical notes
The author reports that actionlint and Python lint hooks pass. Typecheck and tests were not run because no Python statements changed. The alert-dismissal step was validated after merge.
