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.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

1.11.0 - 2023-05-02

Fixed

  • Fix initialization of Value wrappers.

Added

  • Add String method to atomic.Pointer[T] type allowing users to safely print underlying values of pointers.

1.10.0 - 2022-08-11

Added

  • Add atomic.Float32 type for atomic operations on float32.
  • Add CompareAndSwap and Swap methods to atomic.String, atomic.Error, and atomic.Value.
  • Add generic atomic.Pointer[T] type for atomic operations on pointers of any type. This is present only for Go 1.18 or higher, and is a drop-in for replacement for the standard library's sync/atomic.Pointer type.

Changed

  • Deprecate CAS methods on all types in favor of corresponding CompareAndSwap methods.

Thanks to @eNV25 and @icpd for their contributions to this release.

1.9.0 - 2021-07-15

Added

  • Add Float64.Swap to match int atomic operations.
  • Add atomic.Time type for atomic operations on time.Time values.

1.8.0 - 2021-06-09

Added

  • Add atomic.Uintptr type for atomic operations on uintptr values.
  • Add atomic.UnsafePointer type for atomic operations on unsafe.Pointer values.

1.7.0 - 2020-09-14

Added

  • Support JSON serialization and deserialization of primitive atomic types.
  • Support Text marshalling and unmarshalling for string atomics.

Changed

  • Disallow incorrect comparison of atomic values in a non-atomic way.

Removed

  • Remove dependency on golang.org/x/{lint, tools}.

1.6.0 - 2020-02-24

Changed

  • Drop library dependency on golang.org/x/{lint, tools}.

1.5.1 - 2019-11-19

  • Fix bug where Bool.CAS and Bool.Toggle do work correctly together causing CAS to fail even though the old value matches.

1.5.0 - 2019-10-29

Changed

  • With Go modules, only the go.uber.org/atomic import path is supported now. If you need to use the old import path, please add a replace directive to your go.mod.

1.4.0 - 2019-05-01

Added

  • Add atomic.Error type for atomic operations on error values.

1.3.2 - 2018-05-02

Added

  • Add atomic.Duration type for atomic operations on time.Duration values.

1.3.1 - 2017-11-14

Fixed

  • Revert optimization for atomic.String.Store("") which caused data races.

1.3.0 - 2017-11-13

Added

  • Add atomic.Bool.CAS for compare-and-swap semantics on bools.

Changed

  • Optimize atomic.String.Store("") by avoiding an allocation.

1.2.0 - 2017-04-12

Added

  • Shadow atomic.Value from sync/atomic.

1.1.0 - 2017-03-10

Added

  • Add atomic Float64 type.

Changed

  • Support new go.uber.org/atomic import path.

1.0.0 - 2016-07-18

  • Initial release.
