Agent-driven commits and pushes in tracked repositories now scan added diff lines with the existing secret_scan::check_fields detector before git runs. Commits cover staged and unstaged changes; pushes scan net added lines in the upstream range or remote merge-base range. Denials name the file and rule with redacted diagnostics, and diff failures fail closed.

AGENTFLARE_GIT_ALLOW_SECRETS=1 permits deliberate fixtures with an audit entry while preserving the other guards. The existing whole-shim bypass remains available. Human and untracked-repository invocations retain their existing behavior.

Review fixes in d8bcf7d:

  • Resolve origin/<current> before requiring a known default branch.
  • Require a remote base when there is no upstream; an aligned local default branch cannot silently yield an empty scan.
  • Add regressions for both cases and give the existing merge-base fixture a remote-tracking base.

The scanner source, src/mcp_server/secret_scan.rs, is unchanged and is gateway-redacted for lean-ctx readers: read it with native tooling.

Validation on PR head 2901df02:

  • cargo fmt --check: passed.
  • cargo fmt --all --check: passed.
  • cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic: passed locally, exit 0.
  • cargo test --bin agentflare cli::git::tests -- --test-threads=1: 40 passed, 0 failed, including both new regressions and the required scanner cases.
  • cargo test --workspace: not verified. The final foreground run exited 101 before test execution with rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: no space on device. An isolated target, pinned native Rust 1.98.0, one build job, disabled debug symbols, and artifact compression did not resolve host disk pressure. Earlier retries also encountered disk-full linker failures. The generated cache was removed after preserving the final log.
  • gh pr checks 950: all runnable checks passed, including Linux and Windows builds/tests, formatting, Clippy, and CodeQL; CLA skipped. Both new regressions also passed in the Linux and Windows CI run.
  • PR opened through agentflare pr open --item 402; the existing origin stamp is retained.

Opened by codex on i-flare-c997d745ae66 (flared:c997d745ae66) for item #402 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Agent-driven commits and pushes now scan changed content for potential secrets. Operations are blocked when a finding is detected, with a redacted explanation.
    • Push checks use the available remote branch history to determine which changes to review.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Scope checks for agent-driven commits and pushes now run only in projects tracked by Agentflare.

Walkthrough

Agent-invoked commit and push operations now scan added diff content for credentials. Push scans use a resolved outgoing range and fail closed when the diff cannot be read or exceeds the line cap. Shim scope checks run only inside scoped projects.

Changes: Git operation checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select and parse commit and push diffs
src/cli/git.rs
Push scans resolve an outgoing range using the upstream or remote-tracking refs. Commit scans collect staged and working-tree diffs. Diff parsing extracts added content and ignores removals, deleted files, and binary content. Tests cover range selection, diff limits, and parsing.
Apply scan verdicts to scoped Git operations
src/cli/git.rs, crates/flare-git-shim/src/main.rs, crates/flare-git-shim/tests/shim_test.rs
The scope-check path runs the agent-only credential scan after scope enforcement passes. Findings deny the operation with a redacted diagnosis; the configured bypass can pass findings and record a SilentExempt audit event. The shim skips scope checks outside scoped projects. Tests cover commit scanning, denials, bypass auditing, and unscoped repositories.

  • getappz/agentflare#948 — The push-diff line cap and fail-closed behavior address unbounded push-diff processing, which is related to the reported scope-check subprocess OOM.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 2901d

Agent commit and push scanning now blocks credentials before the operation runs. A narrow gap remains: a credential added in an earlier outgoing commit and removed in a later one can still be pushed if that commit did not go through the agent commit scan. This is a bounded follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Explanation

The description clearly explains the change, scope, behavior, review fixes, compatibility expectations, and validation results. It does not use the exact ## Test plan and ## Notes for reviewers headings or checkbox format, but it provides the required test and reviewer information, including the unverified workspace test and CI results.

Scan each outgoing commit when the push scan protects remote history.

An agent commit in the protected shim path already runs the commit-time scan, so the original agent-created commit scenario does not apply to the normal path. However, a credential can enter the outgoing history through a human or non-shim commit, an earlier commit, or AGENTFLARE_GIT_ALLOW_SECRETS=1. If a later commit removes it, the current net-range push scan can pass while the earlier commit is published.

If push scanning must cover all commits sent to the remote, resolve the base ref separately and scan the added lines from git log --no-merges --patch --format= <base>..HEAD. Keep scope checking on the existing <base>...HEAD range. run_in_lines_bounded and added_lines_by_path already provide the required bounded execution and diff parsing. Update the removal-commit test to expect denial.
