Summary

This PR hardens the FailproofAI telemetry path at the Python SDK and daemon boundaries:

  • Preserve events when an optional promoted field is passed as None through custom fields.
  • Redact credential-shaped values before SDK events reach disk and again before daemon batches are uploaded.

No event types, server schema, ingest API, or application instrumentation contract changes.

Problem

Dropped completion events

Optional promoted fields supplied through custom fields were validated as explicit JSON null values. The SDK rejected the entire event instead of omitting the absent field.

A common example is a successful agent_end with no error_type. In best-effort integrations the validation exception could be swallowed, leaving an agent_start without its matching agent_end and preventing downstream evaluation.

Credentials in telemetry payloads

Telemetry payloads can contain API keys, bearer tokens, JWTs, GitHub tokens, AWS access-key IDs, and secret assignments. Those values needed protection both at rest in the SDK spool and at the final upload boundary.

Changes

Python SDK

  • Omit promoted string or numeric custom fields whose value is None.
  • Emit a warning for the omitted field while preserving the event.
  • Keep strict validation for invalid non-null promoted values.
  • Add deterministic recursive redaction before JSONL batches are written.
  • Default safely to minimal redaction when configuration is absent or invalid.
  • Continue honoring collector.redact=off.
  • Add regression tests for event preservation, redaction, server contracts, and integrations.

Daemon and uploader

  • Pass the configured collector redaction mode into the uploader.
  • Redact each valid JSON event immediately before upload.
  • Protect batches created by older SDK versions that did not redact before writing.
  • Preserve existing retry, batching, failed-spool, and transport behavior.

Documentation

  • Document the SDK and daemon redaction boundaries.
  • Clarify that minimal credential redaction is defense in depth, not a replacement for disabling content capture when regulated data must not be recorded.
  • Update root and Python SDK changelogs (the root entry is under 1.0.5-beta.0, since 1.0.4 shipped before this merged).

Redaction behavior

Redaction covers recognized credential shapes, including:

  • OpenAI and Anthropic-style API keys
  • GitHub tokens
  • Slack tokens
  • AWS access-key IDs
  • JWTs
  • Bearer tokens
  • Password, secret, credential, API-key, and token assignments

Redaction recursively examines string values inside dictionaries and lists. It does not claim to remove arbitrary PII or regulated content.

Compatibility

  • Existing valid events are unchanged.
  • Existing invalid non-null promoted values are still rejected.
  • No server or database migration is required.
  • No new dependency is introduced.
  • The None omission applies to promoted values supplied through custom fields. Named closing-event parameters such as duration_ms retain their existing validation behavior.

Validation

All checks on the current head are green:

  • Python SDK matrix passed on Python 3.10 through 3.14.
  • Python SDK integration tests passed.
  • Rust quality and uploader tests passed.
  • Linux x64, Linux arm64, macOS x64, and macOS arm64 daemon builds passed.
  • CLI unit and end-to-end tests passed.
  • Documentation, supply-chain, Socket, and CodeRabbit checks passed.

The Python SDK suite reported 998 passed and 6 skipped for the event-preservation change. Focused tests cover recursive redaction, configuration defaults and opt-out behavior, multibyte secrets, pre-write SDK protection, and pre-upload daemon protection.

Summary

One medium-confidence reliability regression found: default SDK redaction can make a valid deeply nested event block its whole batch indefinitely.

Changes

  • Omit promoted custom fields set to None while warning instead of rejecting the event.
  • Add credential redaction before Python SDK spool writes.
  • Apply daemon redaction immediately before uploading SDK-written JSONL batches.
  • Extend recursive redaction coverage and document the SDK/daemon boundaries.

Validation

  • Passed docker run --rm --network=none python:3.12-slim (isolated manual assertions for Python redaction, None omission, and redact-off configuration) — Credential-shaped strings and secret-named arrays were redacted, promoted None was omitted, and collector.redact=off was honored. (1s)
  • Skipped docker run --rm rust:1.97-slim cargo test -p fpai-collect --test uploader && cargo test -p fpai-collect redact — The isolated container could not retrieve the public crates.io index; no Rust tests started. The stalled container was terminated. (60s)

Findings

No blocking findings.

1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Deep valid payloads can wedge SDK batch flushing — _write_batch unconditionally passes every encoded event through redact_json_line when default redaction is enabled (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_writer.py:648). That function calls json.loads recursively. In an isolated Python 3.12 container, a 994-level nested payload is accepted by _encode_entry, but EventWriter._write_batch raises RecursionError during redaction. The exception escapes; _flush restores the entire batch for retry, so subsequent cycles repeat the failure and unrelated queued events stop reaching disk. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_writer.py:648)

Open questions

None.

Policy overrides

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Added credential redaction for SDK event data before local batching and upload, including API keys, bearer tokens, JWTs, secret assignments, sensitive field names, and secrets nested in arrays.
    • Redaction is enabled by default when configuration is missing or invalid and can be disabled with collector.redact: off.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Promoted fields set to None are omitted with a warning instead of being stored as null.
    • Successful events with empty summaries continue to report success correctly.
  • Documentation

    • Updated integration guidance to describe SDK redaction and its defense-in-depth role.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Python SDK now omits and warns on None promoted fields. It redacts credential-shaped values before spool writes. The daemon repeats redaction before upload and honors collector.redact: off. Tests and documentation cover both flows.

Invalid promoted string values can be accepted while silently disappearing from telemetry filters and facets. The issue is narrow and localized but should be fixed for the SDK contract to remain reliable.

  • Medium/High duration_ms=None is still rejected on closing events — tool_result, hook_completed, human_input, and agent_resume reject any duration_ms key before calling _validate_fields, so their duration_ms=None extras never reach the new omission-and-warning loop. An isolated container reproduced the rejection for all four methods. The added numeric test only invokes agent_start, where duration is not auto-computed. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_events.py:393)

328-342: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Allow duration_ms=None through the four closing-event guards.

tool_result, hook_completed, human_input, and agent_resume raise before _validate_fields when duration_ms=None is passed in **fields. No writer.submit() call runs, so the closing event is lost. Let None reach _validate_fields so it is omitted, while retaining the ValueError for non-None caller values. Add regression coverage for all four APIs.

I could not establish complete review coverage for 599d0ae8a1f8, so I did not approve it. I have no specific question to ask — this is a coverage gap on my side, not a request for input.

What the review did establish:

No blocking defect identified by inspection. Python redaction and promoted-field omission checks passed in isolated containers; Rust tests could not run because the required toolchain and crates could not be fetched in the container.

Re-run with @hermes-exosphere review [focus] to point me at the part that matters most, or @hermes-exosphere reconsider [reason] if you believe the coverage was sufficient.

High: Secret-named arrays bypass opaque-value redaction

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_redact.py:216
  • Evidence: The Python list branch calls scrub(item) without the containing field name at sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_redact.py:216. Therefore {"password":["abcdefghijklmnop"]} leaves the opaque value unchanged, because secret-name redaction only runs when a string receives field_name. The daemon fallback has the same reset at crates/fpai-collect/src/redact.rs:199, so an older SDK batch with this shape is also uploaded verbatim. An isolated container reproduced the Python leak.
  • Required change: Propagate the current field name through array elements in both redactors, then add SDK spool and daemon uploader regression tests for opaque values in arrays under password, client_secret, and token/key fields.

…he event

A promoted key left at None in **fields reached the wire as an explicit JSON
null, so _validate_promoted_string refused it. But None is how a caller says
"I have no value", and the refusal landed inside their emit helper — which
swallows telemetry errors, because telemetry must not break a run. The event
vanished with nothing logged.

agent_end(error_type=None) is the shape every SUCCESSFUL run produces:
error_type is populated only on a failing outcome. Found against a real
multi-agent app, where it dropped agent_end for every session that succeeded,
leaving a dangling agent_start, no outcome, and no evaluation — the server
triggers evaluation on agent_end.

The same fix closes the mirror bug on promoted numerics. _build omits None only
from a dataclass's named `specifics`; `extra` is merged verbatim. So
duration_ms=None was dropped as a named parameter and written as an explicit
null through **fields — same value, two outcomes, decided by which door it came
through. Both paths now agree: for a promoted column, no value means no key.

Dropped with a warning rather than silently: passing None is still a mistake
worth hearing about, it just must not cost the event.

  • Rule: SEC-001

  • Required change: Propagate field_name while traversing list elements in both redactors, including nested containers as appropriate. Add SDK spool and daemon uploader regressions for opaque strings in arrays under password, client_secret, api_key, and access_token fields.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.

High: Secret-named arrays bypass opaque-value redaction

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_redact.py:215
  • Evidence: The Python traversal drops the parent field name for lists (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_redact.py:215), so {"password":["ordinarysecretvalue"]} remains unchanged; an isolated Docker reproduction asserted this and failed with the raw value still present. The daemon has the same traversal at crates/fpai-collect/src/redact.rs:199, so an older SDK batch has the same pre-upload leak. Such values are neither pattern-shaped nor assignments, and are therefore written to the SDK spool and uploaded despite their secret-named parent.
  • Required change: Propagate the containing field name while traversing array elements in both redactors, so opaque string elements under password, client_secret, api_key, and equivalent names are replaced. Add SDK spool and daemon uploader regressions for secret-named arrays.

Both redactors dropped the parent field name when recursing into an
array, so {"password": ["hunter2hunter2"]} reached the SDK spool and the
upload verbatim while the same value as a plain string was redacted.
Form bodies parsed with parse_qs and multi-value header maps put every
value in a list, so this is an ordinary shape for a captured credential.

Array elements now inherit the field name in the Python SDK and in the
daemon, whose pass is the only one a batch from an older SDK ever gets.
Regression tests cover arrays (including nested ones) under password,
client_secret, api_key and access_token in the redactor units, the SDK
spool writer, and the daemon uploader.

Values such as tool_name, tool_call_id, hook_name, hook_id, input_id, pause_id, error_type, and optional model go directly to the event dataclasses. _build preserves non-None values, so a caller can emit a non-string value. The server's ps() extractor then stores NULL for that field while returning 200 OK, which makes the event invisible to the related filters and facets.

Call _validate_promoted_string for each named promoted string before event construction. Validate model only when it is not None; required parameters must reject None.

  • Medium/High Deep valid payloads can wedge SDK batch flushing — _write_batch unconditionally passes every encoded event through redact_json_line when default redaction is enabled (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_writer.py:648). That function calls json.loads recursively. In an isolated Python 3.12 container, a 994-level nested payload is accepted by _encode_entry, but EventWriter._write_batch raises RecursionError during redaction. The exception escapes; _flush restores the entire batch for retry, so subsequent cycles repeat the failure and unrelated queued events stop reaching disk. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/_writer.py:648)
