Credentials and transcript tails can be read through the storage backend

Storage Backend not in their notes

Credentials and transcript tails can be read from the new storage backend, but the flag is off.

Credential and transcript-tail reads sit behind tengu_hover_rest, off without a server value.

Feature flag
tengu_hover_rest Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

tengu_hover_rest
What

Stored credentials and the tail of a transcript being resumed can now be read and written through the alternative storage backend rather than directly from disk. Both are selected only when the tengu_hover_rest flag is on, which it is not without a server value, so this build uses the existing file paths.

Details
  • The credentials adapter wraps read, strict read, write and delete, and maps a refused symlink or a failed read to a single sentinel value. Writing still prints the same "Warning: Storing credentials in plaintext." notice as before.
  • Resume does a backend tail read plus a stat, allowing for a partially written last record, and falls back to reading the raw file with a warning if the read or the stat fails or the backend throws.
Evidence

Warning: Storing credentials in plaintext., hydrate tail: backend tail read failed

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
