jx12n 4d9a26498e hush: one-time secret links the server cannot read
Paste a secret, get a link, send it. The first person to open it and press
Reveal sees the secret; the link dies at that moment. The recipient needs a
browser and nothing else — no account, no client, no installed tooling.

The server cannot read what it stores. AES-256-GCM happens in the browser and
the key lives in the URL fragment, which browsers never transmit, so hushd
holds ciphertext and no key material. That is a property of where the key sits
rather than a promise about our conduct, which is why there is deliberately no
endpoint accepting a plaintext secret and no server-side-encryption fallback:
two guarantees behind one URL would be worse than one honest guarantee.

Three decisions carry the design:

  * GET /s/{id} touches NO storage, not even to check existence. Slack, Teams,
    WhatsApp, iMessage and Outlook Safe Links all fetch a URL before a human
    sees it, so destroying on GET would destroy most secrets in transit and the
    recipient's "already used" would be indistinguishable from interception.
    Only POST /reveal consumes. Bot user-agent detection is an arms race;
    removing the side effect from GET is not. Pinned by
    TestGettingTheRevealPageNeverConsumesTheSecret.
  * Destruction is one Redis GETDEL, which is atomic. GET-then-DEL has a window
    where two simultaneous readers both win, and for a one-time secret that
    window is the product. The store contract demands atomicity and the same
    concurrency test runs against both implementations.
  * Missing, already-revealed, expired and evicted are ONE indistinguishable
    410. Separating them would confirm to a prober that a given link was real.

The secret id IS the capability, so secret.ID is a struct whose every
accidental path — %v, %s, String(), slog, json.Marshal — emits a redacted
handle or refuses, and the raw value needs an explicit Value(). The first
version tried to prevent leaks by implementing no String() at all; its own test
caught that Go's fmt prints unexported fields anyway, so forbidding the method
had removed the control rather than the leak.

Operationally: structured JSON on stdout in the fleet's wire format, which
Vector already collects with no annotation; six hush_* metrics on the chassis
registry with no id, IP or path in any label; five alert rules wired into
vmalert. The public Ingress enumerates /, /s/ and /api/ so /metrics, /healthz
and /readyz share the port but are unreachable from the internet — no
basic-auth middleware to maintain and get wrong.

Dependencies are vendored because go-chassis is private: the Woodpecker test
step and the in-cluster Kaniko build both run -mod=vendor with GOPROXY=off and
hold no git credential.

cmd/hush-mcp is a stdio MCP server doing the same client-side crypto locally,
so using hush from an agent preserves the same guarantee as using it from a
browser.

# procfs
This package provides functions to retrieve system, kernel, and process
metrics from the pseudo-filesystems /proc and /sys.
*WARNING*: This package is a work in progress. Its API may still break in
backwards-incompatible ways without warnings. Use it at your own risk.

## Usage
The procfs library is organized by packages based on whether the gathered data is coming from
/proc, /sys, or both. Each package contains an `FS` type which represents the path to either /proc,
/sys, or both. For example, cpu statistics are gathered from
`/proc/stat` and are available via the root procfs package. First, the proc filesystem mount
point is initialized, and then the stat information is read.
```go
fs, err := procfs.NewFS("/proc")
stats, err := fs.Stat()
```
Some sub-packages such as `blockdevice`, require access to both the proc and sys filesystems.
```go
fs, err := blockdevice.NewFS("/proc", "/sys")
stats, err := fs.ProcDiskstats()
```
## Package Organization
The packages in this project are organized according to (1) whether the data comes from the `/proc` or
`/sys` filesystem and (2) the type of information being retrieved. For example, most process information
can be gathered from the functions in the root `procfs` package. Information about block devices such as disk drives
is available in the `blockdevices` sub-package.
## Building and Testing
The procfs library is intended to be built as part of another application, so there are no distributable binaries.
However, most of the API includes unit tests which can be run with `make test`.
### Updating Test Fixtures
The procfs library includes a set of test fixtures which include many example files from
the `/proc` and `/sys` filesystems. These fixtures are included as a [ttar](https://github.com/ideaship/ttar) file
which is extracted automatically during testing. To add/update the test fixtures, first
ensure the `testdata/fixtures` directory is up to date by removing the existing directory and then
extracting the ttar file using `make testdata/fixtures/.unpacked` or just `make test`.
```bash
rm -rf testdata/fixtures
make test
```
Next, make the required changes to the extracted files in the `testdata/fixtures` directory. When
the changes are complete, run `make update_fixtures` to create a new `fixtures.ttar` file
based on the updated `fixtures` directory. And finally, verify the changes using
`git diff testdata/fixtures.ttar`.
