Sealing a variable removes its earlier values from History.

When a save seals a variable or changes its sealed value, earlier saved versions get the new sealed value in place of their plain text or older ciphertext. Old History cards then show Sealed. The scrub runs inside the sealing save and is idempotent.

A version that a queued or running deployment still uses keeps its copy, because that deployment records what it applied from it when it finishes.

Verified with new tests in tests/review.rs. docs/user/services/variables.md is updated.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Security
- Sealing a variable removes its earlier plaintext values from History; those older versions appear as Sealed.
- Rotating a sealed value replaces its older ciphertext in History with the current sealed value.
Bug Fixes
- Deployments already queued continue using the value from the revision they were admitted with.
- Retrying a deployment from an older revision uses the sealed value, not its former value.
- Unrelated plaintext values remain visible in History.
Documentation
- Updated the variable-sealing instructions to explain the History and deployment behavior.

Publishing a revision with sealed variables now updates matching values in eligible earlier Saved revisions. Revisions associated with in-flight deployments are skipped. Saving a deployment also triggers scrubbing when it is no longer in flight.

Changes: Sealed variable history

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Scrub earlier Saved revisions `core/crates/ployz-store/src/review/mod.rs`, `core/crates/ployz-store/src/review/sealed.rs`, `core/crates/ployz-store/src/deployment/mod.rs`	After inserting a revision, `publish` calls `scrub_sealed`. The helper updates matching sealed values or removes earlier values recorded as ever sealed. It skips revisions used by in-flight deployments. Saving a deployment calls the helper when the deployment is no longer in flight.
Verify history and deployment behavior `core/crates/ployz-store/tests/review.rs`, `docs/user/services/variables.md`	Tests cover plaintext and ciphertext scrubbing, unrelated plaintext, renamed and deleted values, deployment execution, and pending or expired leases. Documentation describes how older values appear in History and how retries use sealed values.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa3bd

Earlier plaintext can remain visible in History after a deployment ends. Cover both lifecycle transitions and the unset-then-readd case before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa3bd

Removing historical secret values improves confidentiality, but retries of older deployments can now combine previously pinned code with newer secrets. Organization scoping limits exposure, and this behavior is documented, but it creates a security-relevant change in what historical code receives. Some lifecycle sequences also leave earlier plaintext uncleared.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: Rewriting historical saved values changes the secret authority inherited by a retry: previously pinned service code can receive a newer sealed value rather than its original input. Retry remains organization-scoped and refuses when a newer deployment has applied, but it otherwise preserves historical code while loading the mutated revision. This creates a conditional confidentiality risk if that historical code is no longer trusted for the newer credential; unauthorized disclosure was not verified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The demonstrated write scope is earlier saved revisions within one environment, with service identity constraining value matching. The introduced retry exposure concerns secrets delivered to historical versions of those services, not demonstrated cross-organization access. Downstream privileges depend on the credentials themselves and were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — A conditional introduced path is: an older failed, unknown, or cancelled deployment retains pinned code; a later save rewrites its saved variable with a newer secret; an authorized retry reloads that revision for execution. Historical code capable of disclosing its inputs could thereby receive a credential it did not originally receive. This requires an eligible retry and untrusted historical code, neither of which establishes a verified exploit.
inferred — Earlier plaintext can also survive when a protected revision leaves flight without cleanup, or when a sealed variable is unset and recreated as plain text before the protected revision is scrubbed. The latter matches the present unsealed variable and skips replacement. These sequences retain plaintext exposure that predates this PR; they limit the new confidentiality guarantee rather than demonstrate a new reader or disclosure boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — History resolves projects through the actor's organization, and retries verify source deployment ownership. Retry also rejects a source when a newer deployment has applied. Normal publication performs review approval first; the new scrub is an internal storage operation rather than a new external endpoint.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — Directly replacing an existing secret with text is rejected, and History restoration preserves current sealed values or rejects historically sealed plaintext targets. These controls do not cover unset followed by recreation, and normal terminal cleanup does not cover every direct status transition.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Make changed secret inputs explicit when retrying historical code, or require a fresh deployment when a retry's secret provenance differs from its original inputs. Separately, centralize cleanup eligibility across terminal and recovery transitions and apply historical sealing protection even when the latest matching variable is plain.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Preserve snapshots of retryable Deployments

When a secret is rotated after a Deployment becomes failed, unknown, or cancelled, that Deployment is absent from running, so this update rewrites the Saved revision it references. deployment::retry promises to ship exactly what its source froze, but the retried runner subsequently loads this modified revision through saved_at, causing it to deploy the replacement secret rather than the admitted one. Keep Saved revisions referenced by retryable Deployments immutable, or explicitly prevent/rebind retries whose secrets were scrubbed.

Settled by the build brief: sealing scrubs every earlier version of the value. A retry of an older version ships the sealed value, which docs/user/services/variables.md now says.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Redact skipped in-flight revisions from History

When an earlier revision belongs to a queued, running, or cancelling Deployment—for example, revision 2 contains a plain TOKEN and revision 3 seals it—this continue leaves revision 2 untouched, so history() can still compare and emit the literal value after sealing. The leak also becomes permanent after the Deployment ends because later unrelated publications do not include this unchanged secret in sealed, contradicting the documented promise that sealing removes earlier values from History. Preserve the execution snapshot separately or redact these revisions when serving History.

Fixed in b19467ca1. Revisions skipped while a deployment runs are scrubbed once that deployment leaves flight, and every save rescans all sealed keys.

Scrub sealed revisions when their deployments leave flight.

scrub_sealed skips revisions used by queued, running, or cancelling deployments, but terminal deployment handling only updates config_applied and config_deployment; it does not scrub config_saved. A skipped revision can therefore retain plaintext after the deployment ends, or after a queued deployment is superseded. A later save that changes the sealed value may scrub it, so the retention is indefinite rather than unconditional.

Re-run the scrub when the last in-flight deployment for a revision leaves an in-flight state. Recheck all in-flight deployments in that transaction so another deployment can still protect the revision. Alternatively, record a pending scrub and apply it once no deployment references the revision. The existing test leaves the deployment queued and does not cover this cleanup.

Fixed in b19467ca1. The scrub now reruns when a deployment leaves flight and on every later save, so a skipped revision never keeps the plain value.

CcoderabbitaiBotOct 13, 2026

@nick-potts Thanks for fixing this in b19467ca1. The deployment-exit scrub addresses the retained plaintext. The later-save scrub also retries cleanup while preserving revisions that another in-flight deployment still uses.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Scrub secrets already sealed before this release

When an existing environment is upgraded with TOKEN already sealed in its latest Saved State but plaintext still present in an older revision, saving an unrelated change excludes TOKEN here because its current ciphertext equals the predecessor's. Subsequent unchanged-secret saves also exclude it, so the old plaintext remains exposed in History indefinitely despite the documented shipped behavior. Include every currently sealed variable when scanning older revisions, or redact History when it is read.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Scrub renamed variables by stable identity

When a plain variable is saved as OLD, renamed to NEW, saved, and then sealed, this predicate matches historical variables only by key. A rename preserves SavedVariableIntent.id, so the pre-rename revision retains and exposes the literal value under OLD in History, violating the documented guarantee that sealing removes earlier values. Match the stable variable identity as well as the current key when scrubbing.

Sensitive Data Exposure

CWE: CWE-312 — Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information

View Security blast radius

Plaintext stays in History when the key is unsealed or deleted before the protected deployment ends.

scrub_sealed builds its list of keys to scrub only from the latest Saved revision. One sequence leaves plaintext behind:

Revision 1 holds TOKEN in plaintext, and a queued deployment protects it.
Revision 2 seals TOKEN. The scrub skips revision 1 because the deployment is still in flight.
Revision 3 deletes TOKEN.
The deployment ends. save calls scrub_sealed, but the latest revision has no Secret, so the function returns at sealed.is_empty().

Revision 1 then keeps its plaintext with no bound. Later saves do not remove it either, because no later revision holds the sealed key. The existing test history_never_brings_back_plain_text_of_a_key_once_sealed builds this exact state. It checks only that Restore is refused. It does not check that the plaintext was removed.

Fix: take the replacement value for each skipped revision from the nearest later revision that seals the key, not only from the latest revision. Another option is to record pending scrubs per protected revision and apply them when the last in-flight deployment for that revision ends. Add a test that checks the History text after the deployment ends.

Fixed in fa3bd881e: ever-sealed values deleted since are scrubbed to sealed-without-value from the recorded seals, not the latest revision (tests sealing_scrubs_plain_text_of_a_value_deleted_since, sealing_between_saves_scrubs_plain_text_of_a_value_deleted_since).

CcoderabbitaiBotOct 13, 2026

@nick-potts Thanks for the fix. scrub_sealed now uses EverSealed to remove recorded plaintext when the value no longer exists in the latest revision. It replaces that plaintext with SecretWithoutValue and clears the fingerprint. This addresses the reported deleted-value scenario.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Stop retaining revisions for expired leases

When a runner disappears after claiming a Deployment, stored() reports it as Unknown once its lease expires, and in_flight_sql() likewise excludes it; this query nevertheless protects the revision forever because the persisted status remains running or cancelling. Consequently, later saves and completed Deployments keep skipping that revision, leaving its plaintext secret exposed in History even though nothing is still executing it. Fresh evidence beyond the prior in-flight comment is that the canonical in-flight predicate requires lease > now(), which this new query omits. Use that predicate (while still including queued rows) when selecting revisions to preserve.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Scrub revisions when queued deployments are superseded

When a plaintext revision is protected because its Deployment is queued, publishing a sealed successor reaches this continue; admitting another Deployment then supersedes the old one through the direct status update in deployment::lifecycle::queue() without calling the new save() cleanup hook. If the replacement remains queued, the superseded revision is no longer executable but its plaintext remains exposed in History indefinitely. Fresh evidence beyond the previous in-flight thread is this direct queued → superseded transition, which bypasses the claimed leave-flight cleanup; invoke the scrub for that transition as well.

Fixed in 4d8dd5e09: deployment::lifecycle::queue() now scrubs after superseding queued rows, so every leave-flight transition runs it (test: sealing_scrubs_the_revision_of_a_queued_deployment_another_supersedes).

_{_{P1 Badge}} Scrub every deployment that leaves flight

When a plaintext revision is protected while Deployment #1 runs and a sealed successor is saved, claiming queued Deployment #2 directly changes #1 from running to unknown in lifecycle.rs:527-530; this hook then sees only #2 as running, so it does not scrub #1 and the plaintext remains visible in History until an unrelated later mutation. The same gap occurs when #1's lease expires after the sealing save, because expiry only remaps its status on reads. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier in-flight findings is that both leave-flight paths bypass this new cleanup hook; trigger scrubbing for those transitions too.

Fixed in 22e2cd2bd: History redacts at read time (list, snapshot, Undo predecessor) any revision no in-flight Deployment protects, which covers lease expiry; claiming a queued Deployment that takes over a running one also scrubs storage.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Consult the seal ledger before accepting a reused plain key

When a Deployment protects an old revision containing plain TOKEN, and the variable is then sealed, deleted, and re-created under the same key as a new plain variable before that Deployment ends, this fallback finds the new variable by key after its stable ID fails to match. Because the new value is plain, the match falls through without consulting EverSealed; thus even the new leave-flight scrub hook leaves the old literal permanently available in History. Treat a different-ID plain key match as sealed according to the historical variable's ledger entry.

_{_{P1 Badge}} Scrub History when Working State seals a value

When a published revision contains a literal TOKEN and the user subsequently seals it without deploying the draft, sealed::record records the irreversible seal, but this still loads the latest Saved State containing plaintext. apply consequently treats that plaintext as current and exempts the latest revision, so History continues returning the literal after the documented Seal action says earlier values are removed. Use the sealed Working State as the scrub source or trigger equivalent redaction when Working State is persisted.
