Three modules independently implemented the same "preserve head+tail of
a secret, mask the middle" logic with slightly different behaviors that
had started to drift:
hermes_cli/config.py redact_key — 12-char floor, 4+4, DIM '(not set)'
hermes_cli/status.py redact_key — 12-char floor, 4+4, plain '(not set)' ← drift
hermes_cli/dump.py _redact — 12-char floor, 4+4, empty string
The visible bug: 'hermes status' displayed the '(not set)' placeholder
in plain text while 'hermes config' showed it in dim text. Same concept,
inconsistent UI.
Introduces mask_secret() in agent/redact.py as the canonical helper,
with head/tail/floor/placeholder/empty kwargs. The three call sites
become one-line wrappers that differ only in the 'empty' handling:
config.redact_key → mask_secret(k, empty=color('(not set)', Colors.DIM))
status.redact_key → mask_secret(k, empty=color('(not set)', Colors.DIM))
dump._redact → mask_secret(v) # empty → ''
agent.redact._mask_token (log redactor, different policy: 18-char floor,
6+4 visible, '***' on empty) also ports to mask_secret but retains its
own empty-case handling to preserve the historical '***' return.
Net: the three display-time redactors now agree on formatting, the
canonical helper lives in one place, and future tweaks (e.g. adding
bullet-point masking, changing the head/tail widths) happen once.
Verified:
- 3/3 tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestRedactKey pass
- 89/89 agent/tests/test_redact.py + tests/tools/test_browser_secret_exfil.py
+ tests/hermes_cli/test_redact_config_bridge.py pass
- Live 'hermes status', 'hermes config', 'hermes dump' all render the
same way they did before (verified against actual env with real
keys: OpenRouter, Firecrawl, Browserbase, FAL, Tinker all show
'prefix...suffix'; Kimi shows '***' at <12 chars; unset shows
'(not set)' uniformly).
