Summary

ZERO_OAUTH_STORAGE=keyring on macOS cannot save a second OAuth login. Every
provider and MCP token shares one keyring entry, and on macOS the secret rides
inside a security -i command line capped at 4095 bytes. Measured, that leaves
4039 bytes of base64 under the anchor account, or 3027 bytes of JSON for all
logins combined. A single large OIDC credential can fill it alone; two ordinary
ones do reliably. Once over the line every write fails, not just the login that
crossed it, because the whole blob is rewritten on each save.

This splits a blob that does not fit across numbered entries and puts a manifest
in the anchor account.

Fixes #937

Changes

internal/keyring: expose the per-entry budget.
MaxSecretLen(service, account) (int, bool) reports the largest secret Set
accepts, with ok false when the backend has no practical limit. It shares one
line builder with Set, so the budget and the boundary it describes cannot
drift. The account is part of the figure because on macOS it shares the command
line with the secret. Linux reports unbounded: secret-tool reads the secret
from stdin, so there is no command line to fill.

internal/oauth: chunk an oversized blob.

  • A blob that fits stays one entry, byte-identical to today. Unbounded backends
    never reach any new code.
  • A blob that does not fit is split, and the anchor holds
    zc1:<live>:<countA>:<countB>:<sha256>. : is outside the base64 alphabet,
    so a stored blob can never carry that prefix and an entry written by an
    existing build is read without a migration step.
  • Chunks live in two alternating generations. A write fills the one that is not
    live, then replaces the manifest. That single Set is the commit point, so
    until it lands a reader still gets the previous generation whole.
  • Chunks are sized against the longest account name the generation can produce.
    A budget taken from chunk 0 would overflow once the index grew a digit.
  • The manifest carries a digest of the payload. The corruption being guarded
    against is the one that motivated chunking: security -i splits an overlong
    line into two garbage commands rather than refusing it, so a chunk can come
    back truncated and still be valid base64.
  • A write reserves the range it will occupy before occupying it. Without that,
    a write interrupted while filling a longer generation leaves chunks above the
    recorded count and nothing would ever delete them. At the one transition where
    reserving would destroy the only copy (the anchor still holds the whole blob),
    the target generation is swept instead.
  • The retired generation is deleted after the commit. Its count deliberately
    stays in the manifest: over-stating is the safe direction, and a failed delete
    is retried by the next write. The invariant is one-sided, and tested as such:
    the manifest may over-state what a generation holds, never under-state it.

Cost

A steady-state save on macOS goes from 1 security invocation to 5 (2 chunk
writes, 1 manifest commit, 2 retirement deletes); a load goes from 1 to N+1.
Roughly 50ms on login and refresh, and only for stores that exceed one entry,
which today cannot save at all.

Test plan

12 new tests. Nine fail on the unfixed path, each for the reason it names,
verified by disabling only the chunking decision in keyringBlob.write:

--- FAIL: TestStoreKeyringSavesSecondLoginOverEntryLimit
    Save(second): keyring: secret too large (7312 > 4083)
--- FAIL: TestStoreKeyringReservesChunkRangeBeforeFilling
    generation "b" holds 5 chunks ([...b.0 ...b.4]) but the manifest counts 0
--- FAIL: TestStoreKeyringSweepsStrayChunksOnFirstGrowth
    stray chunk oauth-tokens.a.3 survived the growth into the chunked layout

Also covered: the commit point (a write that dies while filling leaves the
committed blob readable and the manifest unmoved), generation alternation with
no stray chunks, growth into chunks and back out again, a missing chunk, a
truncated chunk caught by the digest, two-digit chunk indices, malformed
manifests, an unbounded backend keeping the single-entry layout, and reading an
entry written by an existing build.

internal/keyring gains three tests pinning MaxSecretLen to the boundary
Set actually enforces: a secret of exactly the budget is accepted, one byte
more is rejected, the figure shrinks with the account name, and non-darwin
reports unbounded.

Commands run on ad34dc8:

  • gofmt -l $(git ls-files '*.go') clean
  • go vet ./... clean
  • go test ./... -count=1 green except internal/imageinput and
    internal/sandbox, which fail identically on a clean tree here (WSL2
    clipboard contents and WSL2 sandbox backend detection)
  • -race not run locally: no C toolchain on this machine. The change adds no
    concurrency, so the race surface is unchanged, but CI should confirm.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • OAuth tokens larger than platform keyring limits can now be stored and retrieved automatically.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The keyring API now reports secret capacity. OAuth keyring storage uses whole entries when possible and verified, alternating chunk generations when required. Reads share the keyring lock with writes. Tests cover limits, atomic commits, corruption, cleanup, interrupted writes, and legacy compatibility.

Changes

Keyring chunked storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keyring capacity contract
internal/keyring/keyring.go, internal/keyring/keyring_test.go
MaxSecretLen reports bounded macOS capacity and unbounded Linux and Windows capacity. macOS command construction is shared by Set and capacity calculation.
Keyring locking and store contracts
internal/oauth/store.go
The store adds maximum-secret-size reporting, identity-based lock paths, and locked Load and Status reads.
Chunked OAuth persistence
internal/oauth/store.go
The store selects whole-entry or chunked storage. Chunked writes use alternating generations and commit through a manifest. Reads reconstruct chunks and verify SHA-256 digests.
Chunked storage validation
internal/oauth/store_keyring_test.go, internal/oauth/store_keyring_chunked_test.go
Tests cover capacity-aware fakes, chunk sizing, atomic manifest commits, generation cleanup, layout transitions, malformed manifests, corruption, interrupted writes, read serialization, and legacy entries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f8530

The change enables multiple OAuth logins on macOS by splitting oversized keyring data, but malformed metadata could leave saving, loading, or deleting credentials unusable until manual keychain repair, while failed cleanup may retain obsolete token material. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on recovery and cleanup handling.

Addressed the review findings in 80de5f3:

  • Protected Load and Status with withLock in internal/oauth/store.go so standalone keyring reads hold cross-process lock protection against interleaved manifest commit/chunk rotation.
  • Added hex.DecodeString validation in parseKeyringManifest to reject non-hex digests during parsing.
  • Updated assertNoStrayChunks in internal/oauth/store_keyring_chunked_test.go to validate chunk indices.
  • Added regression tests for non-hex manifest digests, failure during final manifest publication (TestStoreKeyringWriteFailsOnFinalManifestPublication), and concurrent reader/writer lock synchronization (`TestStoreKeyringReadSerializedWithLockDuringChunkedWrite").

This is careful work and the design holds up. I went looking specifically for a torn read and could not construct one: the write fills the generation that is not live and the manifest Set is the only commit point, so a reader either sees the old manifest with the old chunks intact or the new one with the new chunks complete. Sizing chunks against the longest account name the generation can produce, rather than against chunk 0, is the kind of detail that would have caused a corruption bug at index 10. Sharing one line builder between Set and MaxSecretLen is the right way to keep the budget and the boundary from drifting, and the test that pins both sides of the boundary is what makes that stick.

I checked the two things the design leans on and they are sound. zc1: cannot collide with a stored blob, because : is outside the base64 alphabet and lands at index 3. And a manifest can never name a live generation with zero chunks, so a parse cannot produce a manifest that reads as empty. gofmt clean, go vet clean for linux, darwin and windows, both packages green.

One defect, and it is the one the design's own reasoning misses.

A retired generation can be orphaned permanently. The doc says cleanup is hygiene rather than correctness because "the manifest states how many chunks each family holds ... a failed cleanup over-states and the next write deletes the excess". That holds while a manifest exists. It stops holding across the chunked-to-whole transition, because writeWhole replaces the anchor with the blob and the counts are gone. After that previous.live is "" and the growth branch sweeps only the family it is about to write, which is always A. Anything left in B is unreferenced and nothing will ever delete it.

Driven through the real Store with a fake whose deletes fail for family B:

after first chunked write:   live=a A=2 B=0
after second chunked write:  live=b A=0 B=2
delete one: oauth: tokens were saved, but a superseded keyring entry ... could not be removed: remove oauth-tokens.b.0: keychain busy
after shrink:                A=0 B=2   orphaned=[oauth-tokens.b.0 oauth-tokens.b.1]
after regrowth:              live=a manifestCounts=map[a:2 b:0] A=2 B=2
>>> 2 family-B chunks unreferenced by the manifest, and no future write will delete them
    orphaned chunk 0 still holds 4078 bytes of token material

So a keychain that refuses one delete during a shrink keeps a previous generation of access, ID and refresh tokens indefinitely, and the user has no way to know. That is the one outcome this layout is otherwise careful to avoid.

The fix is where you already handle the same class. In the previous.live == "" branch you sweep the target generation precisely because an earlier interrupted shrink may have left something; it just needs to sweep the other one too:

other := keyringChunkFamilyA
if family == keyringChunkFamilyA {
    other = keyringChunkFamilyB
}
err := b.deleteChunkRange(family, count, keyringMaxChunks, nil)
if err = b.deleteChunkRange(other, 0, keyringMaxChunks, err); err != nil {
    return err
}

I ran that against the probe and the package: family B comes back empty after regrowth and the suite stays green. It costs one extra sweep on the rare whole-to-chunked transition and nothing on the steady-state path.

Worth saying in the comment either way: this only reclaims on the next growth. A store that shrinks with a failed cleanup and never grows again keeps the orphans. Sweeping on every whole write would close that too, but it is 128 security invocations per save on macOS, so I would not do it. Documenting the residue is enough.

Two notes, neither blocking.

Load and Status now take the cross-process lock, so a token read can block behind another process's write. That is bounded, acquireFileLock reclaims after fileLockStaleAfter, so a crashed holder cannot wedge it. But Load is on the hot path for every provider call and it did not touch the lock before. Worth a line saying the serialization is deliberate, because the generational design already gives readers a consistent view without it, so a future reader will wonder why the lock is there and may remove it.

A manifest whose chunks have been removed by hand fails every Load and Status with "missing chunk N of M", while the digest failure says "log in again". A new login does repair it, since the write path only needs the manifest to pick the other generation. Giving the missing-chunk error the same closing advice would save someone a support round trip.

Fix the sweep and I will approve.

Retry cleanup after a chunked-to-whole transition.

If deletion of the retired generation fails, this path retains its token chunks until a later oversized save. A store that remains within one entry can therefore retain deleted OAuth token material indefinitely. This conflicts with the stated requirement to avoid leaving token material during keyring layout changes.

Persist retryable cleanup metadata, or retry a bounded sweep on later whole-entry writes. Add a regression test that clears an initial delete failure, performs another whole-entry save, and verifies that both chunk generations are empty.

Re-checked on the current head. The blocker is closed and so are both notes.

The previous.live == "" branch sweeps the other generation now, and the comment above it states the reason the doc's original argument missed: writeWhole replaced the anchor, so the counts that named the leftover chunks are gone and no later write can derive them. That is the part worth having written down.

Falsified it rather than reading it: replacing the two-family sweep with the target-only sweep fails TestStoreKeyringShrinkResidueIsReclaimedOnRegrowth, and the suite is green with it restored. So the test is pinning the fix.

The missing-chunk error carries the same "log in again" advice as the digest failure now, and withLock explains why readers take the lock and that acquireFileLock reclaims a crashed holder. Both were the round trips I wanted to save someone.

gofmt clean, go vet clean, internal/oauth green, CI green.

Good PR. The generational layout was already sound; this was the one hole in its own hygiene argument.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Merge readiness

  • [P1] Rebase onto current main and re-review the resolved shared state paths
    internal/oauth/store.go:232
    This head is based on ad34dc8d, while live main is 1b5db176 (10 commits ahead) and includes changes to shared OAuth/MCP and lock-related code. Rebase before merge and re-review the resolved diff so the keyring persistence changes retain current target behavior.

Findings

  • [P2] Share the keyring lock across configuration roots
    internal/oauth/store.go:232-239
    The keyring object does not vary with the file-store configuration: every keyring-backed Store reads and writes the fixed zero / oauth-tokens anchor (and the fixed .a.<n> / .b.<n> chunk families). The cross-process lock does vary, however, because it is placed beside ResolveStorePath(options.Env). As a result, two normal Zero processes for the same OS user can select keyring storage while using different ZERO_OAUTH_TOKENS_PATH, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or home-derived roots, acquire different lock files, and concurrently mutate the same keychain records.

    That was less consequential while the value was one entry, but this change adds a multi-step protocol: read the manifest, write an inactive generation of chunks, publish the manifest, then delete the retired generation. With split lock domains, a reader can retain the old manifest while another process publishes the new generation and deletes the old chunks, causing a missing-chunk or integrity failure; two writers can also fill and publish the same inactive generation from different snapshots, losing a login or publishing chunks that do not match the manifest digest.

    Address the root cause by deriving the keyring lock from the keyring storage identity—not the configurable file-backend path—so every process accessing zero/oauth-tokens participates in one serialization domain. Keep the file backend's path-specific locking unchanged. Add a regression with two Stores sharing a keyring client but constructed with distinct environment roots, then force overlapping save/read or save/save operations and verify that the second operation waits and the final state remains readable with both updates preserved.

Store every provider and MCP token in one keyring entry and the store stops
working once the logins outgrow it. On macOS the secret rides inside a
`security -i` command line capped at 4095 bytes, which leaves 3027 bytes of
JSON for all logins combined, so a second OIDC login fails to save and every
write after it fails too.

Split a blob that does not fit across numbered entries and put a manifest in
the anchor account. Chunks live in two alternating generations: a write fills
the one that is not live, then replaces the manifest, so that single write is
the commit point and a crash partway through still reads the previous
generation. `zc1:` cannot prefix base64, so an entry written by an existing
build is still recognised and read without a migration step.

Reserve the range a write will occupy before occupying it. Without that, a
write interrupted while filling a longer generation leaves chunks above the
count the manifest records, and no later cleanup knows to delete them: a
fragment of a token blob would stay in the keychain for good.

Expose the per-entry budget from internal/keyring rather than hardcoding the
macOS figure in the oauth store, sharing one line builder with Set so the
budget and the boundary it describes cannot drift. Backends with no limit
report so and keep the single-entry layout, so Linux is untouched.

Refs Gitlawb#937
A shrink writes the blob back under the anchor, which replaces the manifest
and takes the per-generation chunk counts with it. From then on nothing can
name the chunks a failed cleanup left behind, so the growth branch's sweep of
the target generation is the only one that will ever reach them — and it only
ever targets family A. A keychain that refused one delete during the shrink
therefore kept a superseded generation of access, ID and refresh tokens
indefinitely, with no way for the user to know.

Sweep the other generation alongside the target, and document that the
reclaim waits for the next growth: a store that shrinks once and never grows
again keeps the residue, which sweeping on every whole write would close at a
cost of 128 `security` invocations per save on macOS.

Also record why Load and Status take the cross-process lock, and give the
missing-chunk error the same "log in again" advice the digest failure carries.

Derive the keyring backend lock file path from the user's home directory rather than file store configuration, ensuring processes with distinct store paths share the same lock domain for the OS keychain.

766-775: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Give the user a recovery path when the anchor manifest is malformed.

readManifest returns an error for a malformed manifest, and write propagates it. read does the same through parseKeyringManifest. So a corrupted anchor entry makes Save, Load, Delete, and Status all fail. The user cannot log in again and cannot log out, because Delete also reads the state first. The only escape is editing the OS keychain by hand.

The refusal to overwrite is correct, because the chunks would be stranded. Add a supported reset instead. Two options:

  • Include the anchor account name and a concrete remediation command in the error text.
  • Add a force path (for example a --reset-keyring flag) that sweeps both families across keyringMaxChunks and then removes the anchor.

I can draft the sweep-and-reset helper if you want it.

224-232: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The commit-point assertion counts anchor writes locally while the fake already tracks them. fakeKR.sets was added to let a test assert publication order, but the manifest-publication test re-implements counting with a local variable and keys the failure on write order instead of on the manifest payload. If a future sizing change removes the reservation manifest, the first anchor Set becomes the commit, the hook allows it, and the test fails for an unrelated reason.

  • internal/oauth/store_keyring_chunked_test.go#L224-L232: key the injected failure on the manifest that names the new live generation, or assert that two anchor writes occurred so the test fails loudly when it stops covering the commit point.
  • internal/oauth/store_keyring_test.go#L24-L26: use kr.sets[keyringAccount] for that assertion, or remove the sets field and its comment.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P1] Clean up chunks when the first migration fails
    internal/oauth/store.go:697
    The normal generation protocol avoids this problem by reserving the target range in the existing manifest before writing chunks. The first whole-entry → chunked transition cannot reserve that way—replacing the anchor before the new generation is complete would discard the only readable copy—so it instead sweeps old entries and begins writing the new range. If any chunk Set fails after an earlier chunk succeeds, or if the final manifest Set fails, the method returns with no manifest naming those newly written accounts. A later small Save reads the still-valid old anchor and calls writeWhole with zero generation counts, so it has no range to delete; the failed login’s access, ID, and refresh-token material remains in the keychain until a future oversized Save happens to enter the migration branch again.

    Address the root cause by making the first-migration error path own the range it has created: after a failed chunk or final-manifest write, remove only the target accounts written by that attempt (or otherwise retain bounded cleanup state) while leaving the old anchor untouched until the commit succeeds. Add a regression that injects a failure after at least one first-migration chunk has been written, then performs only successful small saves and verifies that neither chunk family retains the failed token material.

  • [P3] Make the chunk-corruption recovery advice actionable
    internal/oauth/store.go:597
    The new layout correctly fails closed when a manifest is malformed, a named chunk is missing, or the reconstructed blob does not match its digest. However, the missing-chunk and digest errors tell the user to “log in again,” while a login calls Save and Save first calls readState. That read returns the same corruption error before write is reached; Delete and Status are blocked for the same reason. The user therefore cannot repair the state through Zero and must manually infer the anchor and both numbered chunk families in the OS keychain.

    Address the root cause by providing a supported recovery outcome for an invalid chunked layout: for example, an explicit authenticated/user-confirmed reset that removes the bounded manifest and chunk family, or an exact documented remediation command that names the affected accounts. Keep the current fail-closed behavior for ordinary operations and do not silently overwrite an ambiguous manifest; add tests proving a user can recover from each advertised corrupt-state error and save a fresh login afterward.

  • [P3] Do not turn writer contention into a silent missing credential
    internal/oauth/store.go:326
    The new reader lock prevents a Load from observing an old manifest after a writer has committed the new generation and deleted the old chunks. But acquireFileLock gives readers only five seconds, whereas the writer holds the lock around every keyring operation: up to 64 chunk writes and 64 retirement deletes, and each underlying security invocation has a ten-second timeout. A slow or temporarily locked keychain can therefore make a concurrent Load time out. FirstStored intentionally treats any Load error as a candidate miss, so an available credential becomes indistinguishable from no login and the caller can fall back or prompt unnecessarily.

    Address the root cause by preserving a consistent read view without translating ordinary writer contention into an absent credential. That could mean a bounded retry/consistent-snapshot strategy, or propagating lock-acquisition failure through the callers that currently suppress Load errors; the important contract is that a known stored login must not silently disappear while another process is saving. Add a slow-writer/lock-timeout regression that exercises FirstStored as well as direct Load and Status behavior.
