fix(deploy): redact interpolated secret values in RemoteExecutionFailed summaries

[bpamiri]

What

lib/SshClient.cfc::$raiseRemoteFailure (byte-identical mirror in lib/FakeSshPool.cfc) embeds the first 200 chars of the failed command in the Wheels.Deploy.RemoteExecutionFailed message. env.clear values interpolated from ${SECRET} tokens in .kamal/secrets ride docker run ... -e KEY=value (see AppCommands.$envArgs), so a nonzero remote exit surfaced the raw secret value in the exception message — and therefore in CI logs. This is the slice deferred from #3008 by design.

Fix

• $raiseRemoteFailure now redacts every occurrence of each registered secret value to [REDACTED] before the 200-char trim, so a value sitting on the boundary can't leak a partial fragment.
• $setSecretValues(array) registers the resolved-secret set on the pool/client; $redactSecrets(text) does the scrubbing. Empty and trivially short (<4 char) values are skipped so unrelated command bytes are never mangled. A value may appear in multiple -e flags — every occurrence is replaced (replace(..., "all")).
• Wiring: DeployAppCli and DeployMainCli register ConfigLoader.secretResolver().all()'s values on the pool after each load(), ahead of any dispatch (guarded for pools predating $setSecretValues). The env.secret path already avoids -e via --env-file (feat(cli): deliver env.secret to containers via remote env file (#2957) #3167); env.clear values still ride argv, which is exactly this issue's surface.
• Mirror parity preserved: the three new/changed methods ($raiseRemoteFailure, $setSecretValues, $redactSecrets) are byte-identical in their executable bodies across SshClient.cfc and FakeSshPool.cfc (verified by comment-stripped diff). The MIRROR comment is updated in both.

Verify-first / TDD

Reproduced RED on develop first (4 SshClient + 5 FakeSshPool redaction tests errored — no $setSecretValues), then implemented to GREEN.

Tests (Lucee 7 / docker CLI suite)

• FakeSshPoolSpec — redaction, multi-occurrence (2× [REDACTED]), no-secret unchanged, empty/short skipped, boundary-before-trim.
• SshClientRedactionSpec (new) — source-of-truth mirror coverage that runs without sshd (deferred-open client), plus a byte-for-byte client-vs-fake message parity assertion.
• DeployAppCliSpec — end-to-end: temp project (config/deploy.yml env.clear ${DB_PASSWORD} + .kamal/secrets) → loader resolves → failed docker run → thrown message is [REDACTED] and omits the secret.

Full CLI suite: 1079 pass, 0 fail. The only 2 errors are the pre-existing/environmental SshClientSpec/SshPoolSpec docker: command not found sshd-fixture beforeAll failures (unrelated to this change).

Wheels Bot — Reviewer

TL;DR — This PR aims to redact ${SECRET}-interpolated env.clear values from Wheels.Deploy.RemoteExecutionFailed summaries (#3159). The redaction primitives ($setSecretValues / $redactSecrets) and their mirror parity are correct, and the test suite is genuinely thorough. But the production wiring is inert: both deploy CLIs register secret values on the pool, and the real SshPool has no $setSecretValues — so the guarded call silently no-ops and the SshClient instances that actually throw never receive the secrets. Every test passes because they all drive FakeSshPool (which both holds the secrets and raises), so the real leak this PR is meant to close remains open. Requesting changes.

Security

The fix never activates on the real deploy path — secrets still leak in production. $registerSecretsForRedaction() registers values on variables.sshPool:

// DeployMainCli.cfc:735
if (!isObject(variables.sshPool) || !structKeyExists(variables.sshPool, "$setSecretValues")) {
    return;
}
...
variables.sshPool.$setSecretValues(values);

In production the pool is a real SshPool (Module.cfc:2551 -> $deployBuildSshPool -> SshPoolFactory.fromConfigPath() returns new ...lib.SshPool(...)). SshPool has no $setSecretValues method (its surface is init/onEach/onAny/sequential/$defaults/getConnection/close/$submit/$parseSpec, and a secretValues search across lib/ matches only SshClient.cfc + FakeSshPool.cfc). So structKeyExists(variables.sshPool, "$setSecretValues") is false and the method returns without registering anything.

Worse, even if the pool did accept the call, the throw does not happen on the pool — it happens on each per-host SshClient:

// SshClient.cfc:168-169 (inside run())
if (raise && exitCode != 0) {
    $raiseRemoteFailure(hostRef, origCmd, result);
}

Those clients are created lazily in SshPool.getConnection() (SshPool.cfc:153) with variables.$secretValues = [] (seeded empty at SshClient.cfc init) and nothing ever calls $setSecretValues on them. The redaction only fires in FakeSshPool, which is the only pool that both carries the secret set and owns its own $raiseRemoteFailure. Net effect: the comment "guarded for pools that predate $setSecretValues" describes the real, current pool — it is permanently the no-op branch.

Fix options:

• Give SshPool a $setSecretValues(values) that fans the set out to every cached SshClient and records it so clients created later via getConnection() are seeded too (the lazy connection cache means registration-time fan-out alone is not enough); or
• Register on each SshClient directly rather than on the pool.

Either way, add a regression test that exercises the real SshPool/SshClient throw path (not FakeSshPool) — see Tests below.

Tests

The coverage is well-constructed but blind to the production gap. DeployAppCliSpec's "end-to-end" case injects new ...FakeSshPool() (both the probe and the asserting pool), and SshClientRedactionSpec calls ssh.$setSecretValues([secret]) directly on a deferred-open client — neither goes through SshPool.getConnection(), which is exactly the link that is broken. Because FakeSshPool is the one pool wired correctly, the green suite gives false confidence. A test that builds a real SshPool, lets a SshClient raise, and asserts [REDACTED] would have caught this (and currently would fail RED against the shipped code). The PR's "RED on develop -> GREEN" claim only covers the double, not the real path.

Conventions / Cross-engine

No issues found. $redactSecrets uses replace(out, v, "[REDACTED]", "all") — CFML replace is literal (not regex), so a secret containing regex metacharacters is matched safely; case-sensitive matching is correct against argv bytes. The isSimpleValue(v) && len(v) >= 4 guard sensibly avoids mangling on empty/trivial values (a sub-4-char secret going un-redacted is an acceptable, documented tradeoff). Mirror parity between SshClient.cfc and FakeSshPool.cfc is byte-identical for $raiseRemoteFailure / $setSecretValues / $redactSecrets (verified) and both MIRROR comments were updated in lockstep.

Changelog fragment changelog.d/3159-deploy-redact-remote-failure-secrets.security.md is present and correctly typed (.security.md) — no direct CHANGELOG.md edit. Single commit conforms to commitlint (fix(deploy): ..., subject <= 100 chars). Both fine.

---

Once the real SshPool/SshClient path actually redacts and a test pins it, this is a clean, well-documented security fix. The primitives are right — only the wiring needs to reach the object that throws.
