WalkthroughThe change adds a shared provider-key redactor and applies it across runner, server, and relay serving surfaces. Relay runtime paths now sanitize responses, streams, errors, routing events, metrics, and diagnostics. Tests and documentation define coverage and limits. ChangesCredential redaction

- Line 162: Update ProviderKeyRedactor::value and text to replace JSON-escaped
credential forms in string leaves and error text, in addition to existing
raw-key replacement, so nested serialized JSON cannot recover credentials
containing quotes or backslashes. Add regression tests covering both characters
and nested JSON-string redaction.

What
Redact deployment-owned provider API keys before the native NeMo Relay plugin returns buffered responses or translated streaming events to Relay. A provider response such as
authorization=Bearer <configured-key>now becomesauthorization=Bearer [REDACTED], while the intended upstream still receives the configured credential.The plugin also sanitizes client-visible decode, execution, and finalization error strings; routing mark data and metadata; metric attributes and metadata; and telemetry-emission error text written to stderr.
Why
The reported RC2 behavior remains present on main:
switchyard-serverconstructs a response redactor fromRunner::provider_api_keys(), but the native Relay plugin returned successful translated JSON without applying that redactor. Generic stream-error handling and omission of upstream response headers did not protect successful response bodies.This closes the plugin integration gap left by #704. It does not change which provider receives the credential or remove the Authorization credential from upstream requests.
The new loopback regression failed on the unmodified implementation: a successful buffered Chat response exposed the complete synthetic provider key. The same regression passes with this change.
Notes for reviewers
ProviderKeyRedactor, and adds structured JSON traversal for the plugin. Empty keys are ignored; duplicate keys are removed; longer keys are matched first. String values and JSON member names are covered, including nested provider fields and ordinary tool-argument strings.api_key_envwithout mutating the parallel test process's environment. Its loopback provider requires the actual configured Authorization value. It covers buffered success, buffered HTTP errors, ordinary streams, and in-band stream failures for Chat, Responses, and Anthropic caller formats, plus telemetry and client-visible error redaction.No dependency, lockfile, configuration-schema, or Relay SDK changes are needed. The shared helper is an additive runner API. The stream adapter remains lazy, with no response buffering or new polling/cancellation mechanism.
Explicit streaming policy and limitation
This PR restores the standalone server's existing exact-match, per-event protection. Each complete JSON string is treated independently. A credential split across separate events or separate JSON strings is not reconstructed or redacted as a whole. String values and error text also match the canonical JSON-escaped form of each credential, covering one embedded JSON serialization layer such as serialized tool arguments. Further repeated escaping and other encodings or transformations remain outside this policy.
That boundary is documented in the public helper and plugin README and covered by an explicit split-event policy test. This PR must not be described as preventing credential reconstruction across deltas. That stronger guarantee requires a separate stateful policy for each logical text/tool-argument field, including buffering bounds, interleaving, terminal events, and cancellation.
Escaped-credential regression coverage
A JSON string can itself contain serialized JSON. Matching only the raw credential misses quotes and backslashes escaped inside that embedded document. The text matcher now combines raw and JSON-escaped forms, deduplicates them, and checks longer forms first.
value()uses that matcher for string leaves and member names. The existing serialized-wirejson()behavior is unchanged.Three regression tests failed before this follow-up and now pass: JSON-escaped credentials in error text, credentials recovered by decoding a nested JSON string, and a raw-key suffix overlapping its escaped form. The ordering test also checks that redaction leaves the embedded JSON valid. Both quotes and backslashes, individually and together, are covered while ordinary diagnostics remain intact.

The plugin bundle was produced using the repository packaging script and its integrity hash.The local copy of the supplied reproduction needed three adjustments: remove the duplicate comma after request headers, specify
target = "chat"for the passthrough route required by current main, and invert the success assertions that originally required leakage. Additional assertions check all response bodies/headers and all six process logs for the canary.All provider traffic in these checks is loopback traffic using synthetic credentials. No real provider credentials or external provider calls were used. Hosted Linux CI and the other Python versions remain for the PR workflow.
