Turn the built in SSH agent socket provider names into an enum This eliminates typos once and for all. It also makes it really easy to distinguish third-party socket providers from first-party ones, as the enum cannot be amended later. Finally, it centralizes the knowledge for testing whether the socket provider is functional directly to the enum, similar to the other version info "feature items". (In fact, the "master SSH key" vault feature (`Features.SSH_KEY`) can now delegate the feature support check to the socket provider name enum.) https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/640fb5cba54e3f63a776f93cf14425237b5ff621 software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:59:24 +0100 640fb5cba54e3f63a776f93cf14425237b5ff621 Fix coverage slipups in SSH agent socket provider implementations https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/0a81704eabd281f1b550bbaf5424feded03deeb2 software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:18:05 +0100 0a81704eabd281f1b550bbaf5424feded03deeb2 Rename the socket providers on Windows/The Annoying OS We expect the names to be user-facing soon, as part of the configuration, choosing which SSH agent socket provider to use. To that end, the "The Annoying OS" moniker is a hindrance: nobody is likely to understand it at a first glance (particularly non-programmers), and conversely, users looking for configuration options pertaining to Microsoft Windows will likely miss that socket providers containing the `the_annoying_os` label are relevant to their query. Insisting on the moniker thus does our users a huge (and completely avoidable) disservice. So, in the interest of clarity, rename the `the_annoying_os` label parts to `windows`. Since this makes some labels completely redundant, and since the test suite is strongly fixated on the default label names, use this opportunity to clean up the registry and the test suite machinery that needs mock registries. https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/c641e8ae46619f58aa85c3e5815a8a12cbedaf1a software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sat, 24 Jan 2026 21:55:29 +0100 c641e8ae46619f58aa85c3e5815a8a12cbedaf1a Rework the documentation concerning SSH agent use https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/eaa925389b8dbe644823fe77116a1edf844870f5 software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Wed, 21 Jan 2026 22:55:28 +0100 eaa925389b8dbe644823fe77116a1edf844870f5 For interfaced SSH agents in the tests, set SSH_AUTH_SOCK manually Generally, if we have an abstract socket connected to an SSH agent, then this is sufficient for us to construct a client based on the socket, and interact with the agent as needed. However, in the CLI tests, there are situations where we are orchestrating the whole `derivepassphrase` application, and the application must connect to the agent itself. For these situations, we need to set up the necessary configuration to pass the agent's socket address to `derivepassphrase`. For agents merely interfaced in the test suite, we were not doing such a setup, causing orchestrated `derivepassphrase` application instances to believe there was no agent to connect to. Fix this by (a) exposing the socket address on the socket object, internal to the spawning/interfacing function, and (b) let interfacing functions return a pair of socket and socket address, not just the socket. (We intend to keep the interface for actually obtaining the address private to each interfacing function, because not all socket objects can easily be retrofitted with extra methods to query the socket address.) (As a side effect, give the socket providers on The Annoying OS more specific typing, so that the type checker can verify that the interfacing functions are accessing the correct attributes and methods for obtaining the socket address.) https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/0393fa2adc5818edd9b9f99eb9bc308eb8cd066e software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:35:34 +0100 0393fa2adc5818edd9b9f99eb9bc308eb8cd066e Use the "correct" wrong SSH_AUTH_SOCK value Some tests require a wrong SSH_AUTH_SOCK value where no SSH agent can be listening, but which is nonetheless syntactically valid. Since Windows named pipes have a specific address format, syntactically valid but wrong values look different on The Annoying OS than they look on POSIX. So fill in wrong values OS-specifically, not generally: on POSIX, we use what is clearly a directory, and on The Annoying OS, we use the common pipe name prefix (which is also a directory). https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/6941e00680b380839a5b2c05783a8240ac5b77c1 software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 16:37:36 +0100 6941e00680b380839a5b2c05783a8240ac5b77c1 Prioritize WindowsNamedPipesNotAvailableError over other errors The SSH agent socket provider, by contract, must raise `NotImplementedError` (or a subclass) if and only if the socket can never be successfully constructed, on principle. Conversely, if the socket provider raises any other kind of error, then the socket *could* be constructed on this system, principally. In the specific case of Windows named pipes whose address is named by the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable, it is a programming error to first check the environment variable value, allowing `KeyError` or `ValueError` to bubble through to the caller, and only afterwards during construction of the named pipe realize that there is no support. https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/0d071d0ac2663006f7c5dff2f337e3e91d636fd4 software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 15:42:53 +0100 0d071d0ac2663006f7c5dff2f337e3e91d636fd4 Fix coverage slipups and error messages in the Windows named pipe handles https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/561a479916d0cea8312ce0aee02889bd5297107f software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 14:38:27 +0100 561a479916d0cea8312ce0aee02889bd5297107f Fix coverage slipup of socket provider alias registration When registering auto-detected new socket providers, registration should fail if two different providers try to register the same alias. The test suite originally contained a test case for this, but it used the "posix" and "the_annoying_os" names as base names, which were changed to aliases in 41029a5e6ef04a9870dcaf044b54a26af94260ab. Thus, the test *actually* attempted to register something that was previously an alias as a new base name. This was also an error (still is), and it used the same error message, so the test continued to pass. But it was then exercising a different code branch, and thus the original code branch was effectively lacking a dedicated test. We fix this by resolving the now-aliased entry to its actual base name. https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/5ade48e3fcfe03b9fdb2651e80a08a9360ccbc0c software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 14:25:44 +0100 5ade48e3fcfe03b9fdb2651e80a08a9360ccbc0c Properly combine coverage files cross-platform Set the coverage settings to record relative paths, instead of absolute ones, so that when combining coverage files from different OSes, the paths merge cleanly. https://git.schokokeks.org/derivepassphrase.git/commit/f1653ee4bd35f594c1dadc54d7413c7a5233db5d software@the13thletter.info (Marco Ricci) Sun, 18 Jan 2026 14:23:57 +0100 f1653ee4bd35f594c1dadc54d7413c7a5233db5d
