Closes #304.

What

  • Each plugin gets a settings store, sdk.SettingStore, for the workspace each call serves. The values live in a new core.settings table, and each plugin's keys sit under plugin.<id>., so no plugin reaches another plugin's settings or the core's.
  • A secret setting is encrypted with AES-256-GCM under ALPHONE_ENCRYPTION_KEY and tied to its workspace and its key. A plain read never shows it, and a copy moved to another workspace or key does not open.
  • ALPHONE_ENCRYPTION_PREVIOUS_KEYS lists older keys, so a new key can replace the old one and older secrets still open.
  • Without a key the server still starts, and a secret write or read answers an error that names the variable. A malformed key stops the server with an error that names the variable and never shows the key.
  • Plugins can encrypt values in their own tables through sdk.Encrypter, tied to the workspace, the plugin and a purpose.
  • The user settings store now tells an unset value from an empty one.
  • A new docs page for plugin authors, and the key's setup, replacement and backup in the operator docs.

Why

The environment file holds one value for the whole server, so a plugin had nowhere to keep what each workspace chooses, such as its mailbox address and password.

Testing Instructions

Run the testing toolchain.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added workspace- and plugin-scoped settings, keeping values and secrets isolated between workspaces and plugins.
    • Added encrypted storage for plugin secrets, with support for rotating encryption keys while retaining access to secrets encrypted with previous keys.
    • Plain settings remain available when encryption is not configured; secret operations report an error if no key is available.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for configuring encryption keys, backing them up, and restoring or rotating them safely.

Walkthrough

The PR adds workspace-scoped settings storage for plugins, AES-GCM encryption for secrets, and support for current and previous encryption keys. It wires settings stores and encrypters into plugin composition, updates the user-settings API, and adds tests and documentation.

Changes: Workspace Settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Encryption and key configuration
internal/encryption/*, sdk/encryption.go, cmd/alphone/run.go, cmd/alphone/settingstore.go, cmd/alphone/settings_test.go, .env.example, .golangci.yml
Adds AES-GCM encryption with associated-data binding and decryption using current or previous keys. Configuration parses and validates the keys. The SDK adds the plugin encrypter contract.
Settings contract and PostgreSQL storage
sdk/settings.go, internal/postgres/migrations/00025_create_settings.sql, internal/postgres/queries.sql, internal/postgres/db/*, internal/postgres/settings.go, internal/postgres/settings_test.go, internal/postgres/usersettings.go, internal/postgres/usersettings_test.go, internal/postgres/tenant*.go, internal/graphres/*
Adds tenant-scoped persistence and a settings store with separate plain and encrypted values, plugin key prefixes, and transactional writes. The user-settings API changes to Lookup and Save, with Lookup reporting whether a value exists.
Plugin wiring and workspace behavior
cmd/alphone/compose.go, cmd/alphone/settingstore.go, cmd/alphone/settingstorewiring_test.go, cmd/alphone/workspacesettings_feature_test.go, test/features/features/workspace-settings.feature, docs/src/content/docs/extending/settings.md, docs/src/content/docs/self-hosting/*, docs/astro.config.mjs
Composition injects plugin-specific stores and encrypters. Tests cover workspace and plugin isolation, secret handling, and key rotation. Documentation describes settings, encryption keys, backups, and rotation.

Priority: High

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

The remaining issues are two Go comments that need to follow the project’s docblock rule; they do not affect settings or encryption behavior. The change is mergeable with those small corrections.

Explanation

Issue #304 coding requirements are covered. The PR adds workspace- and plugin-scoped setting stores, bulk saves, individual reads, plain/secret type separation, tenant/plugin/key binding, AES-256-GCM encryption, key rotation, missing-key handling, plugin-table encryption, and unset-versus-empty user settings. The documentation states that stored values override environment defaults for the default workspace. Unit, PostgreSQL, wiring, and feature tests cover these behaviors.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #304. The migration, database queries, SDK interfaces, wiring, encryption package, user-setting API update, tests, and documentation directly support the requested settings, encryption, isolation, fallback, and backup requirements. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.85% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 118 functions across 23 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Code Review ✅ Approved

🔴 High risk · The new settings migration and secret-storage path could expose or misbind workspace credentials if tenant scoping or encryption binding fails.

Adds per-workspace plugin settings through a new sdk.SettingStore backed by a core.settings table, with secret values encrypted under ALPHONE_ENCRYPTION_KEY and key rotation supported via ALPHONE_ENCRYPTION_PREVIOUS_KEYS. No issues found.

[Medium impact] No blocking issues were found. The validated settings and encryption paths are safe to merge.

Summary

Adds workspace settings stores for plugins and encryption for their secrets.

  • Plugins save separate settings for each workspace.
  • Plugins encrypt their own values for a workspace and purpose.
  • User settings tell callers whether a value is set.

Focused runtime tests passed for database namespace isolation, literal prefix matching, secret omission, key rotation, configuration-error redaction, missing-key errors, and plugin wiring. No actionable issues were found.
