Overview

The Credentials Vault provides secure in-memory storage for sensitive API keys and session tokens.

Architectural Intent

The Credentials Vault isolates secrets from the rest of the system in a dedicated hash-table. It provides simple get/set primitives with environment-variable fallback for known providers. This is the single place where credentials enter the system — every provider skill routes through here.

Contract

1. (vault-set provider secret &key type): stores secret under (format nil "~a-~a" provider type) in *vault-memory*.
2. (vault-get provider &key type): returns the stored secret, or falls back to the appropriate environment variable for known providers (:openai, :anthropic, :openrouter, :gemini). Returns NIL if neither exists.
3. (vault-get-secret provider): wrapper — calls vault-get with :type :secret.
4. (vault-set-secret provider secret): wrapper — calls vault-set with :type :secret.
5. Vault isolation: storing a secret for provider A does not affect provider B's entry. Different :type values produce different keys.

Boundaries

• Does NOT encrypt at rest — that is the session layer's responsibility.
• Does NOT validate key format — the provider skill does that.
• Does NOT rotate or expire keys — this is a simple store.

Implementation

Package Context

(in-package :passepartout)

Vault Storage

;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00

(defvar *vault-memory* (make-hash-table :test 'equal)
  "In-memory cache of sensitive credentials.")

Secret Management

;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00

(defun vault-get (provider &key (type :api-key))
  "Retrieves a credential from the vault or environment."
  (let* ((key (format nil "~a-~a" provider type))
         (val (gethash key *vault-memory*)))
    (if val
        val
        (let ((env-var (case provider
                          (:gemini "GEMINI_API_KEY")

                          (otherwise nil))))
          (when env-var (uiop:getenv env-var))))))

vault-set

;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00

(defun vault-set (provider secret &key (type :api-key))
  "Stores a secret in the vault."
  (let ((key (format nil "~a-~a" provider type)))
    (setf (gethash key *vault-memory*) secret)))

Secret Wrappers (gateway-messaging)

Thin wrappers that match the export names used by gateway-messaging. Delegates to the existing vault-get=/=vault-set with :type :secret.

;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00

(defun vault-get-secret (provider)
  "Retrieves a stored secret or token for a gateway provider."
  (vault-get provider :type :secret))

vault-set-secret

;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00

(defun vault-set-secret (provider secret)
  "Stores a secret or token for a gateway provider."
  (vault-set provider secret :type :secret))
