Description

Adds a Vault / OpenBao secret resolver backend so runtime secrets can live in Vault instead of environment variables or config files, without changing how call sites resolve secrets.

  • Core (small, dependency-free): SecretResolver becomes a facade over a pluggable ISecretProvider chain (EnvRawSecretProvider + CompositeSecretResolver), keeping all existing env:/raw: call sites unchanged.
  • New optional extension OpenClaw.Security.Vault (VaultSharp): KV v2 reads with token auth, vault:<mount>/data/<path>#<key> reference grammar, TTL cache with single-flight + refresh-ahead + stale-on-failure fallback, and startup pre-warm (VaultRefPrewarmService) that scans the gateway config tree for vault: refs before the gateway serves.
  • Fail-closed posture: Enabled defaults false; token comes only via env:/raw: indirection (recursion guard); resolved values never appear in logs/errors (plus RedactionPipeline); when the backend is disabled, vault: refs throw VaultNotConfiguredException instead of degrading to literal strings; pre-warm failures block startup by default.
  • TLS: Tls.SkipVerify (dev only, validation-warned) and Tls.CaCertPath (custom CA bundle, PEM file or directory, trusted as custom root trust with hostname checks kept; mutually exclusive with SkipVerify).
  • Ops: config binds from the existing OpenClaw:Security:Vault section (same section ConfigValidator checks), docs in EN + zh-CN, optional CI vault-integration job, OpenBao dev compose file, and 5 end-to-end integration scenarios against a real OpenBao container.
  • Two pre-existing test failures repaired (required to restore a green suite): npm.cmd launched by bare name expands %~dp0 to the working directory, breaking npm's shim — now launched by full path; a Companion UI test hard-coded "\n" where the Avalonia TextBox inserts the platform newline.

Summary

  • User-facing: secrets (LLM keys, channel credentials, plugin config) can be managed in Vault/OpenBao and referenced wherever env:/raw: refs work today; rotation is picked up via cache TTL without restart.
  • Repository-facing: new optional project OpenClaw.Security.Vault, new OpenClaw:Security:Vault configuration section, small Core abstraction (ISecretProvider/ISecretResolver) with no new Core dependencies, and VaultNotConfiguredException moved to Core to keep the fail-closed check in the resolver chain without a Core↔Vault circular reference.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Tests
  • Build/CI
  • Governance/process
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)

Validation

  • dotnet restore OpenClaw.Net.slnx
  • dotnet build OpenClaw.Net.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore
  • dotnet test OpenClaw.Net.slnx --configuration Release --no-build
  • dotnet run --project samples/OpenClaw.HelloAgent -c Release --no-build

Validation performed by Claude Code on Windows 11 (.NET 10) — Debug configuration: full suite 2740 passed / 0 failed / 1 pre-existing skip; the 5 vault integration tests additionally passed against a live OpenBao 2.0.0 dev container. Release-configuration boxes above are marked by equivalence only; please re-run the exact commands before merging.

Review Notes

  • I considered NativeAOT compatibility — no Reflection.Emit/dynamic loading; VaultSharp is plain managed code; config binds through standard IConfiguration (same pattern as the existing GatewayConfig).
  • I considered security posture and unsafe defaults — backend off by default, token indirection + recursion guard, fail-closed resolution and pre-warm, TLS options validated, public-bind hardening preserved.
  • I updated docs/tests where needed — docs/security/vault*.md (EN + zh-CN), integration-test docs, CHANGELOG; unit tests for every component plus E2E integration scenarios.
  • This PR is scoped and does not mix unrelated changes — one feature area plus the two small test repairs needed for a green suite.

Commercial or Customer-Driven Contribution Disclosure

No commercial or customer use case drives this contribution; the implementation is vendor-neutral (VaultSharp works with both HashiCorp Vault and OpenBao).

Extends SecretResolver with an external Vault / OpenBao backend via
VaultSharp. Adds ISecretResolver abstraction in OpenClaw.Core, new
OpenClaw.Security.Vault project, TTL cache with refresh-ahead, sync
fail-fast policy, and IHostedService pre-warm. Preserves backward
compatibility for all 67 existing call sites.

Design decisions:
- Transitional: instance API + static facade (zero caller changes)
- Token-only auth in v1 (K8s/AWS/Azure/GCP deferred)
- Ref grammar: vault:<path>#<key> with optional mount segment
- TTL cache + lazy refresh-ahead + single-flight
- New project, IsAotCompatible=false (opt-in AOT trade-off)
- NSubstitute unit tests + optional OpenBao integration tests
- Sync vault: ref on cold cache throws SecretResolutionException
Keep technical literals (code blocks, paths, class names, config keys,
URLs, commit hashes) in English; translate all prose, headings, and
descriptions to Chinese.
15 tasks across 4 phases (abstraction/facade, vault impl, wiring/config/prewarm,
deploy/docs/CI). Each task has TDD-shaped steps (failing test → impl → commit).

Phases:
  1. Core abstractions + SecretResolver facade (zero behavior change)
  2. OpenClaw.Security.Vault implementation (parser, cache, provider, DI)
  3. Config validation, prewarm service, gateway bootstrap wiring
  4. Deploy compose, user docs (en + zh-CN), CI integration test job

- PluginCommands launches npm.cmd by full path instead of bare name: a bare-name
  batch launch expands %~dp0 to the working directory, so npm.cmd's shim pointed
  npm-prefix.js/npm-cli.js inside the staging dir and npm install failed with
  MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Fixes InstallPreparedDirectoryAsync_NativePluginDoesNotRunNpmLifecycleScripts.
- Companion draft assertion compares against the platform newline (Avalonia
  TextBox inserts Environment.NewLine for Shift+Enter). Fixes
  Keyboard_PaletteAndComposer_PreserveDraftUntilSend.
- VaultRefCache stale-window tests use condition-based polling instead of fixed
  delays that could overshoot the 2xTTL retention under load and evict the entry.
- ToolGovernance stub tests disable the 300ms default HTTP timeout: under
  parallel-load thread-pool contention the timeout token wins the race against
  the in-process stub response, flipping the decision to GovernanceUnavailable.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 13c8f

The Vault integration can continue timed-out requests, serve stale secrets indefinitely during outages, and produce unreliable NativeAOT or test workflows. Its JIT publish and TLS documentation behavior also needs correction before merge.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@deploy/docker-compose/openbao.yml`:
- Line 7: Bind the OpenBao host port in deploy/docker-compose/openbao.yml to
loopback using 127.0.0.1:8200:8200 instead of all interfaces. Update
deploy/docker-compose/README.md to state that the service is loopback-bound
while retaining the existing development-only warning.

In `@docs/security/vault.md`:
- Line 134: Update the local Vault configuration example associated with
ConfigValidator so it no longer presents an HTTP Address as a valid gateway
setup: provide a TLS-enabled local OpenBao configuration, or clearly label the
example as direct integration-test-only configuration.
- Line 27: Narrow the documentation statement about interchangeable env:/raw:
and vault: references to settings whose consuming path uses SecretResolver. Do
not include OpenSandboxServiceCollectionExtensions.ResolveSecretRefOrValue or
other settings that only resolve env: and raw: values.

In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-15-vault-secret-resolver-design.md`:
- Line 8: Update the relative links in the design specification, including the
references to SecretResolver and the locations noted at lines 10, 42, 407, and
547, to use ../../../src or ../../../docs as appropriate so they resolve from
docs/superpowers/specs.
- Line 567: Update the AOT packaging statement in the VaultSharp dependency row
to clarify that VaultSharp remains in published output whenever the Vault
project reference exists, regardless of the runtime Vault.Enabled setting.
Explicitly distinguish runtime enablement from publish-time dependency inclusion
and retain the documented AOT/JIT implications without claiming conditional
linking.

In `@docs/zh-CN/security/vault.md`:
- Line 134: Update the local gateway example’s Address value to use a
TLS-enabled HTTPS loopback URL consistent with the documented validator
requirement, or reference the project’s explicit loopback HTTP exception if one
exists; keep the example copyable and aligned with the field table.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Core/Security/CompositeSecretResolver.cs`:
- Around line 53-56: Implement ISyncSecretProvider on VaultSecretProvider and
add its synchronous resolution method to parse the vault reference, return the
value from VaultRefCache.TryGet, and throw SecretResolutionException on a cache
miss; do not contact Vault from this path. Preserve the existing asynchronous
provider behavior and ensure CompositeSecretResolver.Resolve can use the
cache-only implementation after prewarming.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Core/Security/EnvRawSecretProvider.cs`:
- Around line 15-19: Update CanResolve in EnvRawSecretProvider to claim every
non-empty bare reference, not only values matching LooksLikeEnvVarName, while
continuing to recognize EnvPrefix and RawPrefix explicitly. Exclude references
containing an explicit scheme such as vault: so they remain available to other
providers, and preserve LegacyResolve’s environment lookup behavior for
mixed-case bare names.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Core/Security/SecretResolver.cs`:
- Line 36: Update the fallback paths in SecretResolver APIs to detect vault:
references before calling LegacyResolve when ResolverAccessor.Current is null,
and throw VaultNotConfiguredException instead of returning the reference
literally; preserve LegacyResolve behavior for non-vault references.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Core/Validation/ConfigValidator.cs`:
- Around line 999-1000: Update ValidateVaultSecurity to reject Tls.SkipVerify
unless an explicit development or integration opt-in is enabled, while
preserving the existing mutual-exclusion validation with Tls.CaCertPath. Ensure
this validation runs before VaultSharpClient construction so production
configurations cannot install the dangerous certificate validator.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Gateway/OpenClaw.Gateway.csproj`:
- Line 43: Keep the Vault integration out of the standard NativeAOT Gateway, or
make the entire integration AOT-safe. Update the OpenClaw.Gateway project
reference and the Program registration of AddOpenClawVaultSecrets together so
NativeAOT builds exclude both when Vault is not supported; otherwise replace
ConfigurationBinder.Bind, the Vault client, and VaultRefPrewarmService
reflection paths with AOT-safe implementations. Do not resolve this by
suppressing trimming or dynamic-code diagnostics alone.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultRefCache.cs`:
- Line 66: Update the background refresh flow around the fetch(ct) call in
VaultRefCache so it uses a cache-owned lifetime token instead of the initiating
caller’s cancellation token. Ensure the detached refresh is not canceled when
the caller cancels, while retaining the provider request timeout as the Vault
call’s bound.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultRefPrewarmService.cs`:
- Around line 183-184: Update the rate-limiter wait in VaultRefPrewarmService to
remove the one-second timeout: await _sem.WaitAsync using only the cancellation
token, so it waits until a token is available or ct is canceled, then return the
resulting Lease as before.
- Around line 67-71: Update the exception handling around _resolver.ResolveAsync
in the prewarm task so OperationCanceledException is rethrown and propagates
through StartAsync; only non-cancellation exceptions should be added to failures
and logged as normal prewarm failures.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultSecretProvider.cs`:
- Around line 128-130: Configure VaultSharp’s transport timeout to match
RequestTimeout in the VaultClientSettings setup used by VaultSecretProvider,
ensuring ReadSecretAsync requests stop at the configured timeout rather than
relying only on WaitAsync(ct). Preserve the existing cancellation behavior and
avoid overlapping cache-miss requests.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Tests/PluginCommandsTests.cs`:
- Line 465: Update the pathEnv construction in the relevant test to use
Path.PathSeparator instead of a hardcoded semicolon, preserving the intentional
empty entries around fakeDir so ResolveNpmCmdPath is tested correctly on all
platforms.

In `@src/OpenClaw.Tests/Security/ResolverAccessorTests.cs`:
- Line 7: Assign both ResolverAccessor test classes to the same xUnit collection
configured with DisableParallelization = true, ensuring their reset–use–assert
sequences cannot overlap across classes. Add the collection definition and apply
its [Collection] attribute to each class while preserving their existing test
behavior.

🟠 Major · Remove the trim-unsafe configuration scan. · src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultRefPrewarmService.cs:124-125

124-125: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Remove the trim-unsafe configuration scan.

OpenClaw.Gateway enables PublishAot and directly references OpenClaw.Security.Vault. Program.cs always calls AddOpenClawVaultSecrets; when Vault is enabled, that method registers VaultRefPrewarmService.

VaultRefPrewarmService.StartAsync then reaches GetType().GetProperties() while scanning GatewayConfig. IsAotCompatible=false documents the incompatibility but does not make this path JIT-only. NativeAOT trimming can omit reflection metadata or accessors. The scan can then omit configured vault: references, and its GetValue catch can hide accessor failures.

Use an explicit typed traversal or generated metadata for the supported secret-reference fields. Keep this startup path free of unbounded reflection.

🟠 Major · Keep stale-entry expiration anchored to FetchedAt. · src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultRefCache.cs:61-61

61-61: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep stale-entry expiration anchored to FetchedAt.

VaultRefCache writes stale entries with StaleEntryOptions, whose AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow is _ttl * 2. The stale-state writes at lines 61 and 74 restart that timer, while Entry.FetchedAt remains unchanged. If refreshes continue to fail and stale reads continue, the value can remain available beyond the intended FetchedAt + (_ttl * 2) window.

Calculate the remaining expiration from FetchedAt, or store an absolute expiry in Entry, for both stale-state writes.

Switch Vault registration to consume the already-bound `GatewayConfig.Security.Vault` options instead of rebinding from `IConfiguration`, and update gateway startup accordingly. This removes a trim-unfriendly binder dependency, keeps validation/registration aligned to one options instance, adds an explicit trimming suppression justification for config graph reflection walk, and extends prewarm tests to verify scanning from `GatewayConfig`.

🟠 Major · Make RateLimiter enforce in-flight concurrency.

src/OpenClaw.Security.Vault/VaultRefPrewarmService.cs:166-207
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make RateLimiter enforce in-flight concurrency.

VaultRefPrewarmService acquires a lease before each _resolver.ResolveAsync call. If a resolution runs longer than one second, RefillLoopAsync replenishes _sem while the lease remains active. Another resolution can start before the first completes, so RequestsPerSecond does not cap concurrent startup prewarm resolutions and Vault load can exceed the configured bound.

Make RateLimiter a bounded concurrency limiter. Remove the refill loop, and make Lease.Dispose() release its semaphore permit exactly once after the resolver call completes.

…iter

Replace the per-second refill loop with a SemaphoreSlim lease tied to each
acquired permit; Lease.Dispose releases the permit exactly once (guarded by
Interlocked.Exchange, so double-release or over-release is impossible).

Rethrow OperationCanceledException unconditionally so cancellation propagates
through StartAsync; only non-cancellation failures are collected and logged.

Remove the unreachable "rate-limit timeout" branch (AcquireAsync never
returned a non-acquired lease).

ConfigValidator now rejects Tls.SkipVerify unless the global opt-in
Security.AllowInsecureTls is set, preserving the mutual-exclusion check with
Tls.CaCertPath. Validation runs during bootstrap, before the lazy
VaultSharpClient DI factory can install the insecure certificate validator.

Adds validator tests for both sides of the opt-in.

Reviewed the current head (0188aba): verified the publish/AOT boundary, TLS opt-in enforcement, cache invalidation/refresh behavior, startup prewarm lifecycle, and configuration/client resolution paths. Local publish-boundary verification passed; 63 focused Vault tests passed with 5 opt-in integration tests skipped. Required CI, macOS linker, AOT/JIT publish, public compatibility, CodeQL, and CodeRabbit checks are green.
