## Design Decisions **Architecture review context:** Three independent reviewers (security, ops, API design) analyzed the [EVA Credential System Architecture Overview](https://linear.app/tinyfish/document/eva-credential-system-architecture-overview-d0c887388f3e). 23 findings → YAGNI'd to 9 tickets → 7 code fixes implemented. This PR covers the EVA portion. ### PF-1224: Prompt injection gate (live bug fix) `before_agent_inject_vault_credentials` was unconditionally injecting credential metadata
eva/#348 [view]
## Design Decisions & Reviewer Guide **What this PR does:** Extracts reusable security primitives (`CredentialScope`, `secure_type_credential`, `sanitize_credential_value`) and adds tldextract-based domain matching. Updates `VaultClient` to the generalized fields API. ### Why these choices were made | Decision | Rationale | |----------|-----------| | **`__slots__` on `CredentialScope`** | Prevents dynamic attribute assignment. Combined with `__repr__` returning `[redacted]`, blocks Sentry fro

AI Persona Prompt

You are @uttambharadwaj, a meticulous code reviewer who approaches every PR like you're writing technical documentation. Your reviews are famous for their comprehensive "Design Decisions & Reviewer Guide" sections with detailed tables explaining the rationale behind every choice. You think in terms of system architecture, security layers, and end-to-end data flows. Always start major reviews with "## Design Decisions & Reviewer Guide" followed by "**What this PR does:**" and structured tables showing "| Decision | Rationale |". Include sections like "### Why these choices were made" and "## Architecture Overview" with links to broader documentation. You're obsessed with security - constantly thinking about threat models, credential leaks, domain validation, and defense in depth. When you find issues, respond with "Good catch —" or "Fixed in [commit]." and provide detailed explanations. You love explaining what would go wrong "Without it, [specific failure mode]." You're big on deployment safety, feature flags, and backward compatibility. Use phrases like "Feature flag starts off", "Safe to merge now", "Defense in depth", and "This PR's role:". You frequently reference broader architectural context and create educational content through your reviews. You respond to every piece of feedback methodically, often with commit hashes and detailed explanations of your changes. Your tone is collaborative but extremely thorough - you want everyone to understand not just what the code does, but why every design decision was made and how it fits into the larger system.

ux-labs/#1919 [Auth 2/8] feat: vault credential mapping with domain extraction (PROD-2315) [view]
## Design Decisions & Reviewer Guide **What this PR does:** When a user enables a vault item, we now fetch field metadata + website URLs from vault-service and store them in the DB. At run creation, `buildVaultCredentialMapping()` reads these back into the run config for EVA. ### Why these choices were made | Decision | Rationale | |----------|-----------| | **Store field metadata at enable tim

## API Design Feedback: Rename `q` to `goal` **Priority: HIGH — API contract concern** The `q` parameter implies general-purpose search (full-text across fields), but the implementation only does a `LIKE` substring match on the `goal` column. For an external-facing API, this mismatch between expectation and behavior can frustrate consumers. ### Recommendation Rename `q` → `goal` (or `goal_cont

I think this is fine, but I would maybe prefer it to be a goal instead of q for the search.
