…CRET is per-app
DockerInstaller only substituted {secret_key} in config_files content, not
in install.env values. The linkwarden manifest shipped NEXTAUTH_SECRET as
the literal 'changeme', so every taOS host ran Linkwarden with the same
publicly-known session-signing secret, allowing session forgery.
Changes:
- docker_installer.py: extract _get_or_create_secret_key (persisted in
<app_dir>/.secret_key) and _substitute_secret_key helpers shared by
_write_config_files and _generate_compose. _generate_compose now applies
{secret_key} substitution to every string env value before it lands in the
compose environment block.
- linkwarden manifest: NEXTAUTH_SECRET set to {secret_key}; DATABASE_URL
dropped (no Postgres companion is started), with an explanatory comment.
- Tests: RED end-to-end test renders the linkwarden manifest through
DockerInstaller into tmp app_dirs, asserts NEXTAUTH_SECRET is a 64-char
hex string that differs between app_dirs and is stable across re-renders.
Catalog audit test checks all service manifests for 'changeme' and literal
*_SECRET/*_KEY env values lacking {secret_key}, collecting failures into
the assertion message.
Proof: on origin/dev both tests fail on the vulnerability assertion
(len(secret_a) == 64 -> 8 == 'changeme'; audit: NEXTAUTH_SECRET == 'changeme'
and literal without {secret_key}). After the fix, all 30 tests in
tests/test_installers.py pass.
Docs-Reviewed: README.md is not updated because the fix is internal secret-key
generation logic, not a change to catalog app presence, user-facing install
behavior, or a desktop app.

Create secret-bearing files with owner-only permissions.
write_text() creates .secret_key with the process umask, then exposes its contents before chmod(0o600). It also writes NEXTAUTH_SECRET to docker-compose.yaml without restricting its mode. Use owner-only descriptors for both files, including existing-file writes, and assert both modes in tests.
