thePR0M3TH3ANandClaude Opus 5 3192c9f306 Offer a 24-word master seed, and put the entropy draw beyond reach of any handler
L2: generate_bip85_seed and create_profile_from_generated_seed now take
words_num, accepting 12 or 24 and rejecting anything else with a clear
message. The default stays 12 -- every existing profile uses it, 128 bits is
entirely adequate, and moving the default would change nothing about
existing vaults while surprising anyone creating a new one. 24 is offered
because the master seed protects the whole vault and was the one secret
shorter than the seeds derived beneath it, which already default to 24.

L3: fixed structurally rather than by narrowing exception types.
os.urandom(32) now sits OUTSIDE the try block, so no handler can stand
between the entropy draw and the caller -- an entropy failure is unreachable
by anything that could substitute a value. Also removes a redundant
`except Exception` whose body was identical to the `Bip85Error` branch above
it.

The structural form is stronger than an exception list, and the test says so
precisely: it asserts the OSError reaching the caller is the SAME OBJECT
os.urandom threw, which holds only if nothing caught and repackaged it.
Listing exception types would still leave a handler in the path for someone
to widen later.

Adds five tests: the identity assertion above, 12- and 24-word generation,
the default staying 12, and rejection of 0/11/18/25/-12.

Determinism gate green (89 tests, up from 84). The seed/profile regression
subset is 143 passed with one failure --
test_profile_export_import_round_trip -- confirmed against the pre-change
baseline as pre-existing.

# SeedPass TODO
This file tracks the remaining work from the latest bug search and security evaluation.
## Entropy audit (2026-07-31)
[`docs/entropy_audit_2026-07-31.md`](docs/entropy_audit_2026-07-31.md) — RNG and
randomness-integration audit. **No predictable-fallback defect:** every non-deterministic secret
uses `os.urandom` / `secrets`, and the `random` module is not imported anywhere in non-test source.
**Read the compatibility constraint in that document before touching
`core/password_generation.py`.** Passwords are never stored — they are re-derived on demand from
`(seed, index, length, policy, gen_version)`. Entries now carry `gen_version`, and an absent field
means v1. **The rule is permanent: never alter the output of a version that already exists in the
wild.** v1 is frozen; a fix that changes derivation goes into a new version, never into an old one.
`src/tests/test_entropy_integrity.py` enforces this with 18 v1 vectors — a failure there is never
"update the expected value".
- [x] **M4 (done)** — v1 password vectors frozen, plus fail-closed RNG tests, in
`src/tests/test_entropy_integrity.py` (26 tests, inside the `--determinism-only` CI gate).
18 vectors cover every policy and both sides of the 32-byte stream-wrap boundary.
Mutation-verified: removing `_balance_distribution` (M1), altering the `DeterministicStream`
wrap (M3) and changing the character mapping (M2) each turn all 18 red; adding a
hash-of-timestamp fallback to `generate_bip85_seed` turns the fail-closed test red.
**M1/M2/M3 are now safe to attempt.**
- [x] **L1 (done)** — deleted the dead HKDF block in `_derive_password_entropy`, dropped the three
now-unused imports (`HKDF`, `hashes`, `default_backend`), and corrected the docstrings that
named HKDF instead of PBKDF2. Verified as a negative control: all 18 v1 vectors stayed green,
confirming the harness does not produce false alarms on behaviour-preserving edits.
- [x] **M1 / M2 / M3 (done)** — password generation is now versioned. `gen_version` defaults to 1
everywhere, so existing entries and every untouched caller keep deriving v1 byte-identically;
new password entries are stamped `gen_version: 2`. v2 drops the forced equal-quarters class
quota (M1), draws by rejection sampling (M2) from an unbounded HMAC-expanded stream (M3), and
enforces only the policy minima — choosing donor positions from classes that have a surplus,
so raising one minimum can no longer break another.
Measured at length 16 over 200 samples: v1 produced **1** distinct class composition, v2
produces **82**. Per-character entropy 6.42 → 6.53 bits against a 6.555 ceiling. Chi-square
96.1 (df=93) confirms the modulo bias is gone; lag-32 repeat rate sits within one standard
error of chance, confirming the repeating pad is gone.
- [ ] **Opt-in upgrade UX for existing entries** — a per-entry action that re-derives at v2, with a
confirmation making the consequence unmissable ("this changes the password; update it at the
site first"). Never bulk-migrate. Until this ships, existing entries stay on v1 by design.
- [x] **L2 (done)** — `generate_bip85_seed(words_num=...)` accepts 12 or 24 and rejects anything
else; threaded through `create_profile_from_generated_seed`. Default stays 12 so existing
profiles and callers are unaffected.
- [x] **L3 (done for the RNG path)** — `os.urandom(32)` moved outside the try block in
`generate_bip85_seed`, so no handler can stand between the entropy draw and the caller, and
the redundant duplicate `except Exception` is gone. A test asserts the `OSError` arrives as
the same object that was thrown, which is only true if nothing repackaged it.
- [x] **L4 (code fixes done)** — `torch/` temp filename now uses `randomBytes(8)`; the
`Math.random` value misnamed `nonce` in `relay-health.mjs` is now `probeSuffix` from
`randomBytes(6)`.
- [ ] **⚠️ Decision needed: `torch/_backups/` holds 5240 tracked files** across six dated
snapshots. Untracking is a large deletion, so it is not an audit side effect. Costs today:
duplicates every security grep hit, and bare `node --test` in `torch/` discovers them and
fails 18 tests from stale snapshot code (`npm test` uses explicit paths, so CI is unaffected).
Separately: `torch/` has no `test/` directory in the repo, so its `npm test` cannot run as
written.
- [x] **L5 (done)** — `dependency-audit.yml` generates and uploads a CycloneDX SBOM from
`requirements.lock`. Verified with the real tool: CycloneDX 1.6, 96 components, crypto chain
recorded at exact versions.
The remaining broad `except Exception` handlers in `password_generation.py` wrap deterministic
derivation with no RNG in it and re-raise rather than substituting; they belong to the Robustness
item further down, not to this audit.
## Security
- [ ] Complete checklist item #8 (Supply chain and release integrity):
- run one tagged release through `.github/workflows/release-integrity.yml` and link evidence in `docs/security_readiness_checklist.md`
- resolve or formally time-box/own the `GHSA-wj6h-64fc-37mp` exception (`docs/supply_chain_release_integrity.md`)
- enforce release/tag protections requiring `Release Integrity` + dependency audit checks
- publish maintainer/consumer verification runbook (checksum + cosign verification with expected issuer/identity) ✅ `docs/release_verification_runbook.md`
- [ ] Upgrade vulnerable runtime dependencies in lockfiles and packaging inputs:
- `aiohttp` -> `>=3.13.3`
- `cryptography` -> `>=46.0.5`
- `starlette` -> `>=0.49.1`
- `python-multipart` -> `>=0.0.22`
- `urllib3` -> `>=2.6.3`
- `pynacl` -> `>=1.6.2`
- `pillow` -> `>=12.1.1`
- `orjson`, `pyasn1`, `cbor2` and other `pip-audit` findings
- [ ] Regenerate `requirements.lock` after upgrades and re-run the full test suite.
- [ ] Re-run `pip-audit -r requirements.lock` and ensure zero actionable runtime vulnerabilities.
- [ ] Evaluate the `Crypto.*` imports in `src/seedpass/core/password_generation.py` and either:
- keep `pycryptodome` intentionally with explicit documentation, or
- migrate RSA generation to `cryptography` APIs.
## Robustness
- [ ] Replace broad `except Exception: pass` blocks with explicit exceptions + logging:
- `src/main.py`
- `src/seedpass/core/manager.py`
- `src/seedpass/core/menu_handler.py`
- [ ] Add telemetry-safe logs for swallowed error paths without exposing secrets.
- [ ] Harden startup/restore prompt flows against `EOFError` / cancellation loops:
- startup options (`Continue` / `Restore from backup`)
- restore-backup fingerprint/path prompts
- ensure graceful return-to-menu instead of process-level failure.
## Tests To Add
- [ ] Add deterministic tests for `derive_pgp_key(..., key_type="rsa")` covering:
- stable output across repeated runs
- key fingerprint format and validity
- [ ] Add API rate-limit tests for:
- per-client isolation
- window expiry behavior
- restart/reset behavior after `start_server()`
- [ ] Add API import tests for boundary conditions:
- exactly-at-limit upload size
- malformed multipart payload
- invalid JSON body for path-based import
- [ ] Add regression tests for manager notification/logging fallback paths currently guarded by broad exception handling.
## Documentation
- [ ] Document API import upload limit (`SEEDPASS_MAX_IMPORT_BYTES`) in user docs.
- [ ] Add a security maintenance section describing dependency-audit cadence and update policy.
