fix(oauth): Split an oversized keyring token blob across entries#938euxaristia wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Store every provider and MCP token in one keyring entry and the store stops working once the logins outgrow it. On macOS the secret rides inside a `security -i` command line capped at 4095 bytes, which leaves 3027 bytes of JSON for all logins combined, so a second OIDC login fails to save and every write after it fails too. Split a blob that does not fit across numbered entries and put a manifest in the anchor account. Chunks live in two alternating generations: a write fills the one that is not live, then replaces the manifest, so that single write is the commit point and a crash partway through still reads the previous generation. `zc1:` cannot prefix base64, so an entry written by an existing build is still recognised and read without a migration step. Reserve the range a write will occupy before occupying it. Without that, a write interrupted while filling a longer generation leaves chunks above the count the manifest records, and no later cleanup knows to delete them: a fragment of a token blob would stay in the keychain for good. Expose the per-entry budget from internal/keyring rather than hardcoding the macOS figure in the oauth store, sharing one line builder with Set so the budget and the boundary it describes cannot drift. Backends with no limit report so and keep the single-entry layout, so Linux is untouched. Refs Gitlawb#937
WalkthroughThe keyring API now reports secret capacity. OAuth keyring storage uses whole entries when possible and verified, alternating chunk generations when required. Reads share the keyring lock with writes. Tests cover limits, atomic commits, corruption, cleanup, interrupted writes, and legacy compatibility. ChangesKeyring chunked storage
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to If cleanup fails while OAuth storage returns from chunked entries to a single entry, retired token chunks can remain indefinitely in the keyring, leaving deleted credential material behind. Merge should wait for retryable cleanup or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded security risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

This is careful work and the design holds up. I went looking specifically for a torn read and could not construct one: the write fills the generation that is not live and the manifest Set is the only commit point, so a reader either sees the old manifest with the old chunks intact or the new one with the new chunks complete. Sizing chunks against the longest account name the generation can produce, rather than against chunk 0, is the kind of detail that would have caused a corruption bug at index 10. Sharing one line builder between Set and MaxSecretLen is the right way to keep the budget and the boundary from drifting, and the test that pins both sides of the boundary is what makes that stick.
I checked the two things the design leans on and they are sound. zc1: cannot collide with a stored blob, because : is outside the base64 alphabet and lands at index 3. And a manifest can never name a live generation with zero chunks, so a parse cannot produce a manifest that reads as empty. gofmt clean, go vet clean for linux, darwin and windows, both packages green.
One defect, and it is the one the design's own reasoning misses.
A retired generation can be orphaned permanently. The doc says cleanup is hygiene rather than correctness because "the manifest states how many chunks each family holds ... a failed cleanup over-states and the next write deletes the excess". That holds while a manifest exists. It stops holding across the chunked-to-whole transition, because writeWhole replaces the anchor with the blob and the counts are gone. After that previous.live is "" and the growth branch sweeps only the family it is about to write, which is always A. Anything left in B is unreferenced and nothing will ever delete it.
Driven through the real Store with a fake whose deletes fail for family B:
after first chunked write: live=a A=2 B=0
after second chunked write: live=b A=0 B=2
delete one: oauth: tokens were saved, but a superseded keyring entry ... could not be removed: remove oauth-tokens.b.0: keychain busy
after shrink: A=0 B=2 orphaned=[oauth-tokens.b.0 oauth-tokens.b.1]
after regrowth: live=a manifestCounts=map[a:2 b:0] A=2 B=2
>>> 2 family-B chunks unreferenced by the manifest, and no future write will delete them
orphaned chunk 0 still holds 4078 bytes of token material
So a keychain that refuses one delete during a shrink keeps a previous generation of access, ID and refresh tokens indefinitely, and the user has no way to know. That is the one outcome this layout is otherwise careful to avoid.
The fix is where you already handle the same class. In the previous.live == "" branch you sweep the target generation precisely because an earlier interrupted shrink may have left something; it just needs to sweep the other one too:
other := keyringChunkFamilyA
if family == keyringChunkFamilyA {
other = keyringChunkFamilyB
}
err := b.deleteChunkRange(family, count, keyringMaxChunks, nil)
if err = b.deleteChunkRange(other, 0, keyringMaxChunks, err); err != nil {
return err
}I ran that against the probe and the package: family B comes back empty after regrowth and the suite stays green. It costs one extra sweep on the rare whole-to-chunked transition and nothing on the steady-state path.
Worth saying in the comment either way: this only reclaims on the next growth. A store that shrinks with a failed cleanup and never grows again keeps the orphans. Sweeping on every whole write would close that too, but it is 128 security invocations per save on macOS, so I would not do it. Documenting the residue is enough.
Two notes, neither blocking.
Load and Status now take the cross-process lock, so a token read can block behind another process's write. That is bounded, acquireFileLock reclaims after fileLockStaleAfter, so a crashed holder cannot wedge it. But Load is on the hot path for every provider call and it did not touch the lock before. Worth a line saying the serialization is deliberate, because the generational design already gives readers a consistent view without it, so a future reader will wonder why the lock is there and may remove it.
A manifest whose chunks have been removed by hand fails every Load and Status with "missing chunk N of M", while the digest failure says "log in again". A new login does repair it, since the write path only needs the manifest to pick the other generation. Giving the missing-chunk error the same closing advice would save someone a support round trip.
Fix the sweep and I will approve.
A shrink writes the blob back under the anchor, which replaces the manifest and takes the per-generation chunk counts with it. From then on nothing can name the chunks a failed cleanup left behind, so the growth branch's sweep of the target generation is the only one that will ever reach them — and it only ever targets family A. A keychain that refused one delete during the shrink therefore kept a superseded generation of access, ID and refresh tokens indefinitely, with no way for the user to know. Sweep the other generation alongside the target, and document that the reclaim waits for the next growth: a store that shrinks once and never grows again keeps the residue, which sweeping on every whole write would close at a cost of 128 `security` invocations per save on macOS. Also record why Load and Status take the cross-process lock, and give the missing-chunk error the same "log in again" advice the digest failure carries. Refs Gitlawb#937

Retry cleanup after a chunked-to-whole transition.
If deletion of the retired generation fails, this path retains its token chunks until a later oversized save. A store that remains within one entry can therefore retain deleted OAuth token material indefinitely. This conflicts with the stated requirement to avoid leaving token material during keyring layout changes.
Persist retryable cleanup metadata, or retry a bounded sweep on later whole-entry writes. Add a regression test that clears an initial delete failure, performs another whole-entry save, and verifies that both chunk generations are empty.

Summary
ZERO_OAUTH_STORAGE=keyringon macOS cannot save a second OAuth login. Everyprovider and MCP token shares one keyring entry, and on macOS the secret rides
inside a
security -icommand line capped at 4095 bytes. Measured, that leaves4039 bytes of base64 under the anchor account, or 3027 bytes of JSON for all
logins combined. A single large OIDC credential can fill it alone; two ordinary
ones do reliably. Once over the line every write fails, not just the login that
crossed it, because the whole blob is rewritten on each save.
This splits a blob that does not fit across numbered entries and puts a manifest
in the anchor account.

Changes
internal/keyring: expose the per-entry budget.MaxSecretLen(service, account) (int, bool)reports the largest secretSetaccepts, with
okfalse when the backend has no practical limit. It shares oneline builder with
Set, so the budget and the boundary it describes cannotdrift. The account is part of the figure because on macOS it shares the command
line with the secret. Linux reports unbounded:
secret-toolreads the secretfrom stdin, so there is no command line to fill.
internal/oauth: chunk an oversized blob.never reach any new code.
zc1:<live>:<countA>:<countB>:<sha256>.:is outside the base64 alphabet,so a stored blob can never carry that prefix and an entry written by an
existing build is read without a migration step.

security -isplits an overlongline into two garbage commands rather than refusing it, so a chunk can come
back truncated and still be valid base64.

reserving would destroy the only copy (the anchor still holds the whole blob),

stays in the manifest: over-stating is the safe direction, and a failed delete
is retried by the next write. The invariant is one-sided, and tested as such:
the manifest may over-state what a generation holds, never under-state it.
Cost
A steady-state save on macOS goes from 1
securityinvocation to 5 (2 chunkwrites, 1 manifest commit, 2 retirement deletes); a load goes from 1 to N+1.
Roughly 50ms on login and refresh, and only for stores that exceed one entry,
which today cannot save at all.

12 new tests. Nine fail on the unfixed path, each for the reason it names,
verified by disabling only the chunking decision in
keyringBlob.write:Also covered: the commit point (a write that dies while filling leaves the
committed blob readable and the manifest unmoved), generation alternation with
no stray chunks, growth into chunks and back out again, a missing chunk, a

manifests, an unbounded backend keeping the single-entry layout, and reading an
entry written by an existing build.
