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.

## Steps to Contribute
|
|
|
|
Should you wish to work on an issue, please claim it first by commenting on the GitHub issue that you want to work on it. This is to prevent duplicated efforts from contributors on the same issue.
|
|
|
|
Please check the [`help-wanted`](https://github.com/prometheus/procfs/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) label to find issues that are good for getting started. If you have questions about one of the issues, with or without the tag, please comment on them and one of the maintainers will clarify it. For a quicker response, contact us over [IRC](https://prometheus.io/community).
|
|
|
|
For quickly compiling and testing your changes do:
|
|
```
|
|
make test # Make sure all the tests pass before you commit and push :)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We use [`golangci-lint`](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint) for linting the code. If it reports an issue and you think that the warning needs to be disregarded or is a false-positive, you can add a special comment `//nolint:linter1[,linter2,...]` before the offending line. Use this sparingly though, fixing the code to comply with the linter's recommendation is in general the preferred course of action.

|
## Pull Request Checklist
|
|
|
|
* Branch from the master branch and, if needed, rebase to the current master branch before submitting your pull request. If it doesn't merge cleanly with master you may be asked to rebase your changes.
|
|
|
|
* Commits should be as small as possible, while ensuring that each commit is correct independently (i.e., each commit should compile and pass tests).
|
|
|
|
* If your patch is not getting reviewed or you need a specific person to review it, you can @-reply a reviewer asking for a review in the pull request or a comment, or you can ask for a review on IRC channel [#prometheus](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#prometheus) on irc.freenode.net (for the easiest start, [join via Riot](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#prometheus:matrix.org)).
|
|
|
|
* Add tests relevant to the fixed bug or new feature.

## Dependency management
|
|
|
|
The Prometheus project uses [Go modules](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and_more) to manage dependencies on external packages. This requires a working Go environment with version 1.12 or greater installed.
|
|
|
|
All dependencies are vendored in the `vendor/` directory.
|
|
|
|
To add or update a new dependency, use the `go get` command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Pick the latest tagged release.
|
|
go get example.com/some/module/pkg
|
|
|
|
# Pick a specific version.
|
|
go get example.com/some/module/pkg@vX.Y.Z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tidy up the `go.mod` and `go.sum` files and copy the new/updated dependency to the `vendor/` directory:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# The GO111MODULE variable can be omitted when the code isn't located in GOPATH.
|
|
GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy
|
|
|
|
GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You have to commit the changes to `go.mod`, `go.sum` and the `vendor/` directory before submitting the pull request.
|

## API Implementation Guidelines
|
|
|
|
### Naming and Documentation
|
|
|
|
Public functions and structs should normally be named according to the file(s) being read and parsed. For example,
|
|
the `fs.BuddyInfo()` function reads the file `/proc/buddyinfo`. In addition, the godoc for each public function
|
|
should contain the path to the file(s) being read and a URL of the linux kernel documentation describing the file(s).
|
|
|
|
### Reading vs. Parsing
|
|
|
|
Most functionality in this library consists of reading files and then parsing the text into structured data. In most
|
|
cases reading and parsing should be separated into different functions/methods with a public `fs.Thing()` method and
|
|
a private `parseThing(r Reader)` function. This provides a logical separation and allows parsing to be tested
|
|
directly without the need to read from the filesystem. Using a `Reader` argument is preferred over other data types
|
|
such as `string` or `*File` because it provides the most flexibility regarding the data source. When a set of files
|
|
in a directory needs to be parsed, then a `path` string parameter to the parse function can be used instead.
|
|
|
|
### /proc and /sys filesystem I/O
|
|
|
|
The `proc` and `sys` filesystems are pseudo file systems and work a bit differently from standard disk I/O.
|
|
Many of the files are changing continuously and the data being read can in some cases change between subsequent
|
|
reads in the same file. Also, most of the files are relatively small (less than a few KBs), and system calls
|
|
to the `stat` function will often return the wrong size. Therefore, for most files it's recommended to read the
|
|
full file in a single operation using an internal utility function called `util.ReadFileNoStat`.
|
|
This function is similar to `os.ReadFile`, but it avoids the system call to `stat` to get the current size of
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
Note that parsing the file's contents can still be performed one line at a time. This is done by first reading
|
|
the full file, and then using a scanner on the `[]byte` or `string` containing the data.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
data, err := util.ReadFileNoStat("/proc/cpuinfo")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
reader := bytes.NewReader(data)
|
|
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(reader)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `/sys` filesystem contains many very small files which contain only a single numeric or text value. These files
|
|
can be read using an internal function called `util.SysReadFile` which is similar to `os.ReadFile` but does
|
|
not bother to check the size of the file before reading.
|
|
```
|
|
data, err := util.SysReadFile("/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity")
|
|
```
