WalkthroughSecret deletion now checks references across agent profiles, executor profiles, and repositories. HTTP and WebSocket APIs return structured conflicts with an optional force override. Runtime errors and settings toasts provide localized repair guidance while redacting secret details. ChangesSecret reference protection
Priority: ⬆️ High — Prioritize the secret deletion safeguards because they prevent unsafe deletion across agent profiles, executor profiles, and repository bindings while guiding recovery from broken secret references. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Severity of issue fixed: High Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A concurrent profile or repository update can still leave a broken secret binding that blocks later launches. Users may also be unable to identify who can repair an inaccessible repository reference. Resolve these issues before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Summary
Verdict: Ready to merge with suggestions. The core correctness story is solid: authorization runs before |
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| apps/backend/internal/backendapp/secret_references.go | Adds cross-repository reference discovery and repository redaction, but emits workspace-scoped agent-profile metadata without authorization. |
| apps/backend/internal/secrets/delete.go | Adds fail-closed deletion checks and force handling, but the scan-and-delete sequence remains vulnerable to concurrent reference saves. |
| apps/backend/internal/secrets/handlers.go | Adds consistent structured HTTP and WebSocket conflict classification and force propagation. |
| apps/backend/internal/secrets/service.go | Routes user-facing deletion through authorization and reference checks while preserving scoped deletion. |
| apps/web/components/settings/secret-delete-error.ts | Safely converts structured conflicts into localized labels without rendering raw server errors. |
| apps/backend/internal/agent/runtime/environment/environment.go | Improves unavailable-secret errors with source-specific repair guidance while preserving underlying error wrapping. |

- Line 58: Update deleteChecked and the deleteStored flow to serialize the
reference scan, binding updates, and secrets deletion within one shared
transaction or equivalent lock. Ensure concurrent binding writes cannot commit
between the scan and DELETE FROM secrets, leaving dangling SecretID values;
otherwise reject the deletion when such a concurrent write is detected.

Tip
PR walkthrough: Open the visual walkthrough
Secret deletion could remove a credential while agent, executor, or repository environment entries still referenced its ID, leaving launches unrecoverable. This adds a fail-closed reference check with an explicit force override, structured conflict responses, localized repair guidance, and runtime errors that identify the affected source. The settings flow now queries direct references before enabling deletion and shows them in a contained dialog.

Medium risk: the pre-delete scan does not serialize concurrent profile saves, so a write racing the check can still create a late reference; forced deletion remains explicit.
