…vs fail-open decision guide (LAB-749) Answers 'which of the two encrypted-SaaS paths do I use?' in one place: a decision table + rule of thumb in zero-knowledge-encryption.md, the contrast and fail-open caveat in the CachekitIO backend page, and corrected backend-resolution notes in the .secure/.io docstrings. Corrects the ticket's premise against verified runtime behaviour: the live resolution path is DefaultBackendProvider (DI), whose tier 1 IS CACHEKIT_API_KEY -> CachekitIOBackend, so .secure CAN reach the SaaS unaided — the real footgun is that it does not PIN the SaaS: with REDIS_URL set and CACHEKIT_API_KEY unset, encrypted values silently go to Redis, and resolution is lazy (first call, not decoration). (_resolve_backend in config/decorator.py, the ticket's evidence, is dead code only its unit tests call.) Also: missing-key fail-closed vs fail_closed-on-decrypt-failure (defaults open) documented as separate guarantees; missing-key error corrected to ValueError.

… CI advisory comments (LAB-2519) - The io preset always builds its own CachekitIOBackend: non-None backend= is discarded, backend=None flips the wrapper to L1-only (SaaS never contacted), and DecoratorConfig.io(backend=...) raises TypeError.

…cument cleartext cache key (LAB-749) Applies the two "major" findings from the expert-panel sweep on #266: 1. The Compliance Implications table showed unqualified HIPAA/PCI-DSS checkmarks while the Which Path section (already accepted in b40b1d9) restricts those arguments to the fail-closed path. A reader landing on the table via TOC/deep link got the overclaim. Add an IMPORTANT alert that mirrors the accepted wording: fail-closed path only, scope *reduction* subject to assessment, never removal. 2. "Zero-knowledge on the wire" and the Accepted Exposure section omitted the cache key, which travels cleartext (percent-encoded) in the URL path: namespace + module.qualname, plus an unkeyed, unsalted blake2b-256 of the arguments (key_generator.py:144) that is offline-enumerable over a small ID space. The sibling backends/cachekitio.md already said this; the doc designated as the compliance authority did not. Docs-only. Executable doc blocks pass (pytest --markdown-docs); markdownlint delta is MD013 line-length at the 80-col default only, matching the file's existing ~90-col wrap (no repo lint config).

Closes LAB-749.
What
One place that answers "which of the two encrypted-SaaS paths do I use?" —
@cache.secure(backend=CachekitIOBackend())vs@cache.io()+CACHEKIT_MASTER_KEY:docs/features/zero-knowledge-encryption.md— new Which Path section: decision table, fail-closed (missing key raisesValueErrorat decoration) vs fail-open (silent plaintext to the SaaS), the backend footgun, the two separate fail-closed guarantees (missing key ≠ decrypt failure; the latter defaults open viaCACHEKIT_ENCRYPTION_FAIL_CLOSED=False), and the rule of thumb: security requirement →.secure+ explicit backend; fleet-wide convenience → env auto-detect. Compliance claims attach only to the fail-closed path.docs/backends/cachekitio.md— contrast subsection under the Encrypted SaaS Pattern..secure/.iodocstrings — corrected backend-resolution notes;.iodocstring now carries the fail-open caveat.Ticket premise corrected (verified against runtime, not the ticket)
LAB-749 claimed the
.securedocstring'sCACHEKIT_API_KEYmention was a trust bug because_resolve_backendhas no such tier. That analysis was of dead code —_resolve_backendis only called by its own unit tests. The live path iscontainer → DefaultBackendProvider(backends/provider.py), whose tier 1 ISCACHEKIT_API_KEY → CachekitIOBackend— empirically verified: withCACHEKIT_API_KEYset,.securewith no explicit backend DOES reach the SaaS.The real, verified footgun (now documented):
.securedoes not pin the SaaS. Resolution is explicitbackend=→set_default_backend()→ env auto-detect at first call — so withREDIS_URLset andCACHEKIT_API_KEYunset,.securesilently encrypts to Redis, and selector conflicts surface asConfigurationErrorat call time, not import.Testing

Documentation: Clarify
.securevs.ioandCACHEKIT_MASTER_KEYusage guidance (LAB-749)Summary
This PR updates documentation to provide clearer guidance on when to use client-side encryption (
@cache.secure) with the CacheKit SaaS backend, particularly around compliance claims for HIPAA and PCI DSS.Changes
Corrected compliance language (
docs/backends/cachekitio.md)The previous documentation overstated the compliance impact of using
@cache.secure, claiming that it takes the SaaS backend "out of scope for HIPAA/PCI." This has been revised to be more accurate and defensible:@cache.secure: SaaS is out of scope for HIPAA/PCI (stores only ciphertext)"@cache.securewith an explicit backend supports a compliance scope-reduction argument (since the SaaS holds only ciphertext), but notes this is subject to assessment and surrounding controls — it does not automatically remove regulated data from compliance scope.This change avoids making absolute compliance guarantees that could mislead users, framing encryption as a scope-reduction measure rather than a scope-elimination one.
Baseline maintenance (
.secrets.baseline)Updated the secrets-detection baseline to reflect shifted line numbers in the documentation files (resulting from added content in
docs/features/zero-knowledge-encryption.mdanddocs/configuration.md) and refreshed thegenerated_attimestamp. No secrets were added or removed — these are line-number tracking adjustments only.Purpose
To ensure documentation accurately represents the compliance benefits of client-side encryption, preventing users from drawing incorrect conclusions about their regulatory scope when using the CacheKit SaaS backend.
Description
This pull request updates the
.secrets.baselinefile to reflect changes in the codebase, specifically adjusting line number references for detected secrets and updating the generation timestamp.Changes
docs/configuration.md: line 550 → 551src/cachekit/cache_handler.py: line 430 → 455generated_attimestamp from2026-09-10T20:37:27Zto2026-09-14T09:15:58Z.Purpose
The line number shifts indicate that content was added above the referenced lines in both files (approximately 1 line in the docs and 25 lines in the cache handler). Given the PR title (documentation on
.securevs.ioandCACHEKIT_MASTER_KEYusage for encryption), this baseline update is a maintenance side-effect of adding new documentation and code content. The.secrets.baselinewas regenerated to keep the secret detection metadata (used by tools like detect-secrets) in sync with the modified files, ensuring the pre-commit/CI secret-scanning checks continue to pass without false positives.
