This PR successfully implements safe fetch failure diagnostics with sensitive data redaction. The implementation correctly handles HTTP responses and transport failures as verified by comprehensive tests.
Critical issues identified:
- Potential security vulnerability in redaction logic when handling special regex characters in error messages (line 39)
- Query string redaction may not fully redact URL-encoded parameter values (lines 30-33)
Additional concerns:
- Authorization header redaction pattern may not handle all edge cases (lines 17-20)
- String truncation doesn't account for multi-byte character boundaries (lines 64-67)
The core functionality works correctly, but the redaction logic should be strengthened to ensure no sensitive data leaks in edge cases before merge.

🛑 Security Vulnerability: The regex pattern uses case-insensitive matching but doesn't account for values that might contain special regex characters that could break the pattern matching. When cause.message contains unescaped special characters like [, ], (, ), etc., the regex replacements could fail or behave unexpectedly, potentially exposing sensitive data that should be redacted.1
Additionally, the JSON field redaction on line 23 requires quotes around field names, which won't match unquoted JSON field names that are valid in some contexts (like JavaScript object literals in error messages).

The regex pattern on line 31 for query string redaction could fail when the parameter value contains URL-encoded characters. For example, ?api_key=value%3Dwith%3Dencoded would only redact up to the first % character since [^&\s]* stops at certain encoded characters. This could leak partial sensitive data in query strings.

🛑 Logic Error: The describeCause function doesn't handle the case where cause.message might be undefined or not a string. If cause is an Error object without a message property, or if the message is not a string, calling redactDiagnostic(cause.message) on line 39 will pass undefined to a function expecting a string, causing a runtime error when the string methods are called.

The redaction of authorization headers on line 18 uses \S+ which will stop at whitespace. This could fail to redact multi-word authorization values that contain spaces (though uncommon, some authorization schemes might have them). Consider using [^\r\n]* instead to redact the entire rest of the line after "authorization:".

The truncation logic doesn't account for multi-byte UTF-8 characters. Using slice(0, MAX_RESPONSE_DIAGNOSTIC_CHARS) on line 64 could split a multi-byte character in the middle, resulting in invalid UTF-8 and potentially corrupted output. This could cause the console output to display incorrectly or even crash in some environments that strictly validate UTF-8.

Suggestion: The response-body sanitizer does not redact ordinary sensitive JSON keys such as authorization or cookie, and it does not handle ADT XML properties represented as elements like <entry key="access_token">secret</entry>. Those values are therefore emitted verbatim in the diagnostic body. Redact sensitive key names in XML attributes and include authorization/cookie field names in the JSON rules. [security]
Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ❌ HTTP diagnostics can disclose authorization and session values.

Suggestion: The formatter sanitizes the new diagnostic lines, but this catch path continues by printing the original error.stack, whose first line includes the unsanitized error message and may contain credentials or response details. This defeats the stated redaction guarantee; sanitize the stack before printing it or only print it under an explicit debug option. [security]

User description
What changed
The adt fetch command now prints safe, actionable diagnostics to stderr when a request fails:
Why
Consumers previously saw only TypeError: fetch failed, which cannot distinguish firewall, proxy, or TLS resets from an HTTP response.
Verification
Summary by cubic
Improve
adt-clifetch failures by emitting safe, actionable diagnostics instead of the generic “TypeError: fetch failed,” so users can distinguish HTTP errors from transport issues without leaking secrets.formatFetchFailure; addsfetch.test.tsto cover these cases.Written for commit 34614d6.
