User description

What changed

The adt fetch command now prints safe, actionable diagnostics to stderr when a request fails:

  • HTTP status and a response-body excerpt (maximum 4 KiB) when a server replied.
  • HTTP response: none received plus the nested Node transport cause, such as ECONNRESET, when a connection failed before HTTP.
  • Sensitive values in headers, cookies, JSON/XML fields, query strings and error messages are redacted.

Why

Consumers previously saw only TypeError: fetch failed, which cannot distinguish firewall, proxy, or TLS resets from an HTTP response.

Verification

  • Targeted fetch diagnostics unit test passed.
  • adt-cli build passed.
  • adt-cli lint passed.
  • Prettier check and git diff --check passed.

Summary by cubic

Improve adt-cli fetch 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.

  • Prints HTTP status and a sanitized response-body excerpt (max 4 KiB) when a server replies.
  • Reports “HTTP response: none received” and the underlying transport cause (e.g., ECONNRESET) when connections fail before HTTP.
  • Redacts sensitive values in headers, cookies, JSON/XML fields, query strings, and error messages; diagnostics go to stderr and the stack trace is still shown.
  • Centralizes formatting in formatFetchFailure; adds fetch.test.ts to cover these cases.
  • No change to successful request behavior.

Written for commit 34614d6. Summary will update on new commits.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Expose safe, actionable diagnostics when adt fetch requests fail

What Changed

  • Failed requests now show whether a server returned an HTTP response or the connection failed before a response.
  • HTTP failures include the status, status text, and a response-body excerpt capped at 4,000 characters.
  • Network failures include the underlying transport message and error code when available.
  • Credentials and other sensitive values are removed from error messages, response bodies, URLs, headers, and cookies.
  • Added coverage for sanitized HTTP errors and connection failures.

Impact

✅ Clearer firewall, proxy, and TLS failure diagnosis
✅ Safer request error output
✅ Bounded error details

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The fetch command now formats HTTP and transport failures with sanitized, bounded diagnostics. Tests cover status details, response-body redaction, non-sensitive fields, transport causes, and error codes.

Changes

Fetch failure diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure formatting and redaction
packages/adt-cli/src/lib/commands/fetch.ts, packages/adt-cli/src/lib/commands/fetch.test.ts
Added formatFetchFailure and supporting helpers. The formatter reports HTTP status or missing responses, bounds response bodies, redacts sensitive values, and includes transport causes. Tests cover these cases.
Fetch command error integration
packages/adt-cli/src/lib/commands/fetch.ts
The fetch error path now uses structured failure output. The HTTP method union was consolidated without changing supported methods. Stack-trace output and exit behavior remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 34614

The fetch command now exposes useful failure diagnostics, but incomplete redaction can leak API keys, authorization parameters, or sensitive status text into stderr logs. Merge should be blocked until every emitted diagnostic field and sensitive header form is redacted.

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.

Suggested change
function describeCause(cause: unknown): string | undefined {
if (!(cause instanceof Error)) return undefined;
const code = 'code' in cause ? (cause as { code?: unknown }).code : undefined;
const message = redactDiagnostic(cause.message);
function describeCause(cause: unknown): string | undefined {
if (!(cause instanceof Error)) return undefined;
const code = 'code' in cause ? (cause as { code?: unknown }).code : undefined;
const message = redactDiagnostic(cause.message ?? '');
return code ? `${message} (${String(code)})` : message;

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.
- ⚠️ ADT XML error properties may expose access tokens.
