Public Safety Audit

Scope inspected

The public debug baseline was reviewed across:

  • root environment files and local artifacts
  • GitHub workflow and template files
  • Rust, Python, and Node runtime code for secret references
  • frontend environment wiring
  • local logs, runtime memory stores, and generated databases
  • dataset and storage directories

The audit looked for:

  • API key names and token patterns
  • database URLs
  • password-like fields
  • local .env files
  • logs and generated runtime traces
  • sqlite/db files
  • local memory stores
  • personal email addresses

The audit was performed without copying live secret values into this report.

Findings

SAFE TO KEEP

  • .env.example, .env.openclaude.example, frontend/.env.example, and backend/rust/.env.example
    • These are example templates and placeholders.
  • Provider/env references inside source code, tests, and docs
    • These are variable names, placeholders, or redaction logic, not live committed secrets.
  • GitHub Actions examples using example.supabase.co and placeholder keys
    • These are safe public examples.
  • Runtime code describing Supabase/OpenAI/etc configuration requirements
    • These are public code references, not disclosures.

MOVED TO .gitignore

  • Local .env variants
  • local logs under .logs/ and root *.log
  • local temporary runtime directories such as .phase9-temp/ and .tmp-tests/
  • local sqlite/db artifacts
  • runtime memory directories
  • private dataset directories
  • credential material patterns such as *.pem, *.key, secrets/, credentials/

REPLACED WITH EXAMPLE

  • Public-facing configuration files continue to use example or placeholder values only.
  • GitHub workflow env examples continue to use explicit dummy values.

NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW

  • Root .env
  • nested .env files used for local developer setup
  • large local .logs/ trees containing generated runtime memory databases and traces
  • any locally generated datasets or archives outside the tracked example paths

These items were not exposed publicly in this audit. They should remain untracked and should be removed from a release artifact before packaging a public snapshot.

REDACTED

  • No committed live secret value was copied into documentation.
  • Personal email detection did not surface a committed personal-contact leak requiring redaction in tracked project files.
  • A tracked local handoff archive was removed from the repository and covered by .gitignore for future releases.

High-signal observations

  • The repository already had a partial safety baseline in .gitignore, but it did not fully cover the public debug release requirements for nested env variants, local DB artifacts, memory stores, and handoff bundles.
  • The workspace currently contains ignored local artifacts, especially under .logs/, including generated sqlite memory databases. These are local-debug noise and must not be included in any release archive.
  • The repository appears to rely on example env templates rather than committed live credentials, which is the correct baseline for public release.

Public-readiness status

Status: CONDITIONALLY READY FOR PUBLIC DEBUG

Meaning:

  • tracked source code, tests, docs, and example configs are suitable for public debugging
  • .gitignore now blocks the main classes of local sensitive/runtime-generated artifacts
  • maintainers should still verify that no local release bundle accidentally includes ignored .env, .logs, memory DBs, or handoff archives

Recommended maintainer checklist before publishing

  1. Confirm git status --short --ignored does not show sensitive tracked files.
  2. Exclude ignored local artifacts from any zip/tar/manual upload.
  3. Keep only example env files in the published repository.
  4. Avoid publishing local runtime logs or memory DB snapshots.
