closes #290

Stacked on #335, #336, and #342 (the CLI scaffold, config file, and link/--json work) — this branch cherry-picks all three (authorship preserved) since #290 asks to test the CLI as it stands today. The commit to review here is the top one (26c5ea6).

Summary

The CLI orchestrates the developer's deploy identity, and ships as a prebuilt binary with no preview deploy or browser console — a regression surfaces on a user's machine, not in a PR check.

Changes

  • cli/internal/keys/keys.go (new): ResolvePublicKey(binary, source string) (string, error) resolves a named local identity to its public key by shelling out to stellar keys address <source> — the CLI doesn't own key storage or signing itself (see the package doc for why). Tested in keys_test.go against a real faked stellar binary, compiled on first use from internal/keys/testdata/fakestellar (the standard Go "helper binary" pattern, e.g. used throughout os/exec's own tests) — not a swapped-out Go function, so the actual exec.Command wiring, argument order, stdout/stderr capture, and exit-code handling are all exercised for real. Covers: successful resolution, an unknown identity, malformed output from the CLI, and a missing binary.
  • cli/internal/exitcode (new) + cli/internal/cmd/exitcode.go (new): ExitCode(err) int maps an error to a process exit code — 0 ok, 1 generic, 2 invalid input — via an ExitCoder interface; link.ValidationError is the first implementer. exitcode is its own leaf package specifically so internal/link's error type and internal/cmd's classifier can both depend on the codes without a cycle (cmd already imports link for the link command). main.go now calls os.Exit(cmd.ExitCode(err)) instead of a hardcoded 1.
  • cli/internal/cmd/secrets_test.go (new): asserts no secret-shaped value (a Stellar S... seed) ever reaches stdout, stderr, or an error string, across --json and non---json runs, and across link, --source, and --url. This caught a real issue while writing it: the invalid-public-key error in link.go echoed the raw value straight back, which would leak a real secret key if a user passed one to the wrong flag by mistake. Fixed in the same commit — the error now reports the shape problem without repeating the value.
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml: the cli job's test step is now go test -race ./.... -race needs cgo (a C toolchain) to build the instrumented test binary — unrelated to the production binary's CGO_ENABLED=0 cross-compile requirement from Scaffold the cli/ Go module — the @signet/cli binary #251, since the test binary is never distributed. ubuntu-latest ships a C compiler; I don't have one in my local environment, so I couldn't run -race here myself — it's verified in CI instead (plain go test ./... passes locally, all 32 tests).

Scoping note — please read before assuming this is exhaustive

This does not cover two things #290's acceptance criteria names: "loopback single-use and timeout behaviour" and "state mismatch rejection." Neither exists in the CLI's architecture today — the CLI-link challenge exchange built in #343 is a plain two-request HTTP round trip (fetch a challenge, sign it, submit it), not a browser-callback/loopback-server flow, and neither #269 nor #263 needed one. I'd rather flag that gap explicitly than fabricate tests against a mechanism that doesn't exist. If a loopback flow is intended for a future link implementation (e.g. to let a browser-extension wallet sign, rather than a headless stellar-CLI-managed identity), that's a separate, unscoped design question worth its own issue.

Config precedence (flag > env > config > default) and --json stdout purity were already covered by #262's and #264's tests and are unchanged here.

Verification

  • go build ./... / go vet ./... / go test ./... — all pass (32/32 tests: +9 new across internal/keys, internal/cmd).
  • golangci-lint run ./... — 0 issues.
  • Manually verified exit codes via the built binary: 0 on success/--help, 2 on an invalid public key (with the fixed, non-echoing error message).
  • Cross-compiled with CGO_ENABLED=0 for linux/amd64 — still clean.

Every CLI issue is blocked on this module existing. Add cli/ as a
standalone Go module (go 1.25, no cgo) alongside the pnpm workspace,
building a signet binary via cobra: cmd/signet/main.go is the
entrypoint, internal/cmd holds the command tree, and internal/link,
internal/keys, internal/spec are placeholder packages for the
wallet-linking, key-management, and API-spec work that follows.

signet --version carries a version and commit string injected via
ldflags. signet --help and a bare `signet` invocation both print real
usage text — cobra only renders the Usage: section when a command is
Runnable() or has subcommands, so the root command needed an explicit
RunE (falling through to cmd.Help()) to show it before any subcommand
exists. golangci-lint is configured via cli/.golangci.yml, and a new
CI job builds, vets, tests, and lints the module.

Verified go build/go vet/go test all pass, and the binary
cross-compiles with CGO_ENABLED=0 for linux/amd64 and darwin/arm64.
…entity

Self-hosters and testnet users need to point the CLI at a deployment
other than the default, and repeat runs shouldn't re-ask which identity
to use. Every invocation needing --url and --source made self-hosted
deployments second-class.

Add internal/config: Load/Save a JSON file under os.UserConfigDir()/
signet (baseUrl, source), and Resolve combines flag > env (SIGNET_URL,
baseUrl only) > config file > built-in default per field. Wire --url/
--source as persistent flags on the root command, resolved in
PersistentPreRunE and attached to the command context via
config.WithResolved/FromContext for subcommands to read once they
exist. An explicit --source is saved back to the config file
(RememberSource) so the next run without it picks the same identity
back up. No config file is required for the default deployment.

Document the precedence and file location in cli/README.md, and add
SIGNET_URL to check-docs.mjs's ENV_ALLOW list — it's the cli/ module's
own shell env, not part of the pnpm workspace's .env.
CI pipelines that link a deploy wallet need to parse the result, and
without structured output automation scrapes human-formatted text
that's free to change between releases.

Add internal/link.Link(handle, publicKey, network), validating the
handle (mirroring HANDLE_PATTERN from packages/types) and the public
key's charset/length, returning a Result{Handle, PublicKey, Network,
Status}. This doesn't yet perform a real on-chain claim or call a
deployment's HTTP API — internal/keys and internal/spec, which it
would need for that, are themselves still scaffolded — but the output
contract is real and stable now.

Wire it up as `signet link <handle> --public-key ... [--network]
[--json]`. Without --json, prints a human summary to stdout. With
--json, encodes exactly one JSON object to stdout via encoding/json
and nothing else; on a validation error, stdout stays empty in both
modes and the error reaches the user via stderr (main.go's existing
error handling), never stdout.

Covered by cmd/link_test.go (asserting --json's stdout decodes as the
expected JSON and is exactly one line, non-json output is not JSON,
and an invalid input leaves stdout empty) and link/link_test.go (the
validation logic in isolation).
… hygiene

The CLI orchestrates the developer's deploy identity and ships as a
prebuilt binary with no preview deploy or browser console — a
regression surfaces on a user's machine, not in a PR check.

- internal/keys.ResolvePublicKey(binary, source) resolves a named local
  identity to its public key by shelling out to `stellar keys address
  <source>`, rather than the CLI owning key storage or signing itself.
  Tested against a real faked `stellar` binary (internal/keys/testdata
  /fakestellar, compiled on first use — the standard Go helper-binary
  pattern), not just a swapped-out Go function, so the actual exec.Command
  wiring is exercised.
- internal/exitcode + internal/cmd.ExitCode(err) map an error to a
  process exit code (0 ok, 1 generic, 2 invalid input) via an ExitCoder
  interface — link.ValidationError is the first implementer. exitcode
  lives in its own leaf package so internal/link's error type and
  internal/cmd's classifier can both depend on it without a cycle
  (cmd already imports link for the `link` command).
- secrets_test.go asserts no secret-shaped value (a Stellar S... key)
  ever reaches stdout, stderr, or an error string, across --json and
  non-json runs — which caught a real issue while writing it: the
  invalid-public-key error echoed the raw value back, which would leak
  a real secret key a user passed to the wrong flag by mistake. Fixed
  in link.go to report the shape problem without repeating the value.
- go test -race now runs in CI (needs cgo — a C toolchain, which
  ubuntu-latest has — unrelated to the production binary's
  CGO_ENABLED=0 requirement, since the test binary is never shipped).
  Not runnable in this environment for lack of a local C compiler.
- Config precedence (flag > env > config > default) and --json stdout
  purity were already covered by blockchain-maxis#262/blockchain-maxis#264's tests; unchanged here.

Scoping note: this does not cover "loopback single-use and timeout
behaviour" or a "state mismatch" — no loopback HTTP server exists in
the CLI's architecture today (neither blockchain-maxis#269 nor blockchain-maxis#263 needed one; the
CLI-link challenge exchange is a plain two-request HTTP round trip, not
a browser callback flow), so there is nothing yet to write that test
against. Documented here rather than fabricated.

…error

Conflict resolution against the squashed blockchain-maxis#335/blockchain-maxis#336/blockchain-maxis#342:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml, README.md: main's.
- cli/cmd/signet/main.go: this branch's exit-code mapping (the point of the PR).
- cli/internal/cmd/link.go, cli/README.md: main's honest 'Validated … not yet
  submitted' wording rather than this branch's older 'Linked …'.
- cli/internal/link/link.go: this branch's ValidationError and public-key
  redaction.

The secret-hygiene test only inspected cobra's output buffers. The command tree
runs with SilenceErrors, so a returned error never reaches those buffers —
cmd/signet/main.go prints it to the process's real stderr. The test therefore
could not fail no matter what an error message said, which is the half of the
acceptance criterion ('stdout, stderr, or an error string') that most needed
covering. Now asserts the error string too.

That immediately caught a real leak. The public-key path was already careful
not to echo its input, but the handle path was not:

  $ signet link SASAAEJC6P5U…UUEMCD --public-key GASAAEJC…
  invalid handle "SASAAEJC6P5U…UUEMCD": expected 1-32 lowercase letters…

Reproduced with the built binary, not just in a test — a seed put in the wrong
argument slot was read straight back into shell history and any CI log. Errors
now pass the value through redactSecrets, so an ordinary typo is still echoed
('invalid handle "Bad Handle"') while a secret-shaped value becomes
'[redacted: secret-shaped value]'.

Verified: go build, go vet, gofmt -l, golangci-lint v2.13.2 (0 issues) and
go test -race ./... all clean, plus the built binary — redaction confirmed,
typo feedback intact, and exit codes 2 for invalid input / 0 for success.

Conflict resolution against the squashed blockchain-maxis#335/blockchain-maxis#336/blockchain-maxis#342:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml, README.md: main's.
- cli/cmd/signet/main.go, cli/internal/link/link.go, cli/internal/cmd/link.go:
  this branch's, which carry blockchain-maxis#345's exit-code mapping that this PR is stacked
  on. Taking main's first silently dropped it — caught because the shim then
  forwarded exit 1 instead of 2 in the end-to-end check below.
- cli/README.md: this branch's, with the stale 'Linked …' example updated to
  main's honest 'Validated … not yet submitted' wording.
- scripts/check-docs.mjs: keep the CLI_RELEASE_ENABLED / NPM_TOKEN allowlist
  entries (GitHub repo variable and Actions secret, not app env).

Reapplied the handle-error secret redaction from blockchain-maxis#345, which this branch
predates.

Verified the release path end to end rather than by reading it — built a
linux/amd64 binary with the workflow's own ldflags, staged it through
scripts/release/stage-platform-package.mjs, pinned with pin-shim-version.mjs,
laid the two packages out as npm would under node_modules/@signet, and ran the
shim:

  --version              -> signet version 9.9.9-test (commit deadbeef)
  link --json            -> one JSON object, nothing else
  invalid handle, $? -> 2   (the shim forwards the binary's real exit code)

Then reverted the staged binary and the 9.9.9-test version pins.

Publishing stays inert on merge: release-cli.yml triggers only on a cli-v*
tag (none exist) and the npm publish step is additionally gated on
vars.CLI_RELEASE_ENABLED, which is not set.

go build/vet/test -race, gofmt, golangci-lint v2.13.2 (0 issues) and
check-docs all clean.

secrets_test.go: take main's, which carries the strengthened assertion on the
error string (the branch's copy predates it).

This PR's only real change is the cross-compile smoke build; everything else in
the diff is cherry-picked blockchain-maxis#335/blockchain-maxis#336/blockchain-maxis#342/blockchain-maxis#345, all now squashed onto main. Took
main's version of every one of those files.

ci.yml keeps all three improvements rather than either side:
- `go test -race ./...` from this branch (issue blockchain-maxis#252 asks for -race; main
  still had a plain `go test`),
- the golangci-lint action v8 + pinned v2.13.2 from main,
- the four-target cross-compile smoke build this PR adds. Noted in the comment
  that the target set matches what release-cli.yml publishes, so the two
  cannot silently diverge.

Verified locally: all four targets build with CGO_ENABLED=0, and
go test -race ./... is clean across all 7 packages.
blockchain-maxis added a commit to Otfrugger/signet that referenced this pull request Sep 2, 2026
Everything except cli/internal/browser/ and its docs was a cherry-pick of
blockchain-maxis#335/blockchain-maxis#336/blockchain-maxis#342/blockchain-maxis#345/blockchain-maxis#356/blockchain-maxis#357/blockchain-maxis#358, all now on main — took main's for all of
those. scripts/check-docs.mjs keeps all three allowlist entries rather than
either side's pair (WAYLAND_DISPLAY from this branch, CLI_RELEASE_ENABLED and
NPM_TOKEN from blockchain-maxis#346).

Verified the fallback behaves as issue blockchain-maxis#257 requires, by driving OpenOrPrint
with DISPLAY and WAYLAND_DISPLAY unset:

  headless, browser allowed -> prints 'Open this URL to continue: <url>', returns nil
  --no-browser              -> same

so the opener's failure is absorbed rather than propagated, and both paths
reach the developer at the same URL.

Left unwired deliberately, unlike blockchain-maxis#357's CheckStellarCLI: there is no call site
to attach it to yet — `signet link` performs no approval flow (that lands with
the loopback server and the pairing endpoints), so wiring it now would mean
inventing the flow rather than connecting to one. Both the package doc and
cli/README say so plainly.

go build/vet, gofmt, golangci-lint v2.13.2 (0 issues), go test -race ./... and
check-docs all clean.
blockchain-maxis added a commit to manchesternews98-jpg/signet that referenced this pull request Sep 2, 2026
This branch introduced its own internal/keys design (a Runner interface plus
context-taking List/PublicKey/Resolve) while blockchain-maxis#345/blockchain-maxis#357/blockchain-maxis#358 built a different
one on main — a package-level `run` seam, CheckStellarCLI version guard,
exitcode sentinels, and secret redaction. Rather than pick a side and lose
work, kept main's package and ported this PR's new capability onto it:

- keys.List(binary) shells `stellar keys ls` through the same `run` seam and
  the same CheckStellarCLI guard, so a missing or too-old stellar is reported
  identically here.
- keys.Resolve(binary, explicit, prompt) picks --source, else the sole
  identity, else the prompt; a nil prompt (CI, --json) yields
  ErrAmbiguousIdentity instead of hanging on stdin. Both new sentinels wrap
  exitcode.ErrNoIdentity, so they map to the documented exit code 4.
- identity.go keeps its command and interactive selector, rewired to
  keys.Resolve/keys.ResolvePublicKey and registered on main's root (which
  carries blockchain-maxis#336's config resolution).
- execrunner_test.go is dropped with the ExecRunner type it tested; it also
  declared a second TestMain, which broke the package build.
- Ported six tests onto main's fixtures: List returns every identity, an
  explicit source never shells out, the sole identity is auto-picked, no
  identities and an ambiguous set each report their sentinel, and the prompt
  is offered the full list. Extended the fake stellar to answer `keys ls`
  (via FAKESTELLAR_IDENTITIES) and to resolve a second identity.

golangci-lint flagged four unchecked writes in identity.go (errcheck); now
checked, matching how link.go already returns its write error.

Verified against the fake binary end to end: one identity resolves silently,
several with no tty refuses rather than hanging, none reports the actionable
message, and piping a selection picks that identity and prints its public key.
Also grepped the whole cli/ tree — no `keys show`, no `--sign-with-key`, no
secret parsing anywhere, which is what issue blockchain-maxis#253 is actually about.

All 6 Go packages pass go test -race; gofmt, golangci-lint v2.13.2 (0 issues)
and check-docs clean.
