- config.set_proxy gains password_env (aligned with api_key_env
convention): config file persists only the env var name; plaintext
password lives in memory for the current session only
- _save_config deep-copies and nulls proxy.socks5.password before
json.dump, so every save path is sanitized (defense in depth)
- get_proxy resolves password as in-memory plaintext first, then via
password_env from os.environ; downstream consumers (llm_client,
web tool curl args) unchanged
- legacy migration on load: plaintext found on disk is kept in memory
for the session, file is immediately rewritten sanitized
- SetProxyTool exposes password_env and reports password source
- registry debug logs mask password/api_key/token/secret/authorization
kwargs (N11)
Tests: new tests/test_config.py (3 cases: no plaintext on save,
password_env resolution, legacy migration); full suite 267 passed.
