Add secrets provider vaults and remote import (#5429)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies and needs secrets handling
to work across local development, hosted operators, and governed agent
execution.
> - The affected subsystem is the company-scoped secrets control plane:
database schema, server services/routes, CLI workflows, and the Secrets
settings UI.
> - The gap was that secrets were local-only and operators could not
manage provider vaults or import existing remote references without
exposing plaintext.
> - This branch adds provider vault configuration plus an AWS Secrets
Manager remote-import path while preserving company boundaries, binding
context, and audit trails.
> - I kept the PR to a single branch PR, removed unrelated
lockfile/package drift, rebased the full branch onto the current
`public-gh/master`, and addressed fresh Greptile findings.
> - The benefit is a reviewable implementation of provider-backed
secrets with focused tests covering provider selection, import
conflicts, deleted secret reuse, rotation guards, and AWS signing
behavior.

## What Changed

- Added provider vault support for company secrets, including provider
config storage, default vault handling, health checks, binding usage,
access events, and remote import preview/commit.
- Added an AWS Secrets Manager provider using SigV4 request signing,
bounded request timeouts, namespace guardrails, cached runtime
credential resolution, and external-reference linking without plaintext
reads.
- Added Secrets UI surfaces for vault management and remote import, plus
CLI/API documentation for setup and operations.
- Stabilized routine webhook secret binding paths and SSH
environment-driver fixture bindings discovered during verification.
- Addressed Greptile and CI findings: no lockfile/package drift,
monotonic migration metadata, disabled-vault default races, soft-deleted
secret hiding/recreate behavior, remove behavior with disabled vaults,
soft-deleted external-reference re-import, non-active rotation guards,
managed-secret soft deletion through PATCH, and per-call AWS SDK
credential client churn.
- Rebased this branch onto `public-gh/master` at `0e1a5828` and
force-pushed with lease to keep this as the single PR for the branch.

## Verification

- `git fetch public-gh master`
- `git rebase public-gh/master`
- `git diff --name-only public-gh/master...HEAD | grep
'^pnpm-lock\.yaml$' || true` confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not in the PR
diff.
- Confirmed migration ordering: master ends at `0081_optimal_dormammu`;
this PR adds `0082_dry_vision` and
`0083_company_secret_provider_configs`.
- Inspected migrations for repeat safety: new tables/indexes use `IF NOT
EXISTS`; foreign keys are guarded by `DO $$ ... IF NOT EXISTS`; column
additions use `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before the Greptile follow-up commits.
- `pnpm test:run` ran the full stable Vitest path before the Greptile
follow-up commits; it completed with 3 timing-related failures under
parallel load: `codex-local-execute.test.ts`,
`cursor-local-execute.test.ts`, and `environment-service.test.ts`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-execute.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts` passed on targeted rerun
(`24/24`).
- `pnpm build` passed before the Greptile follow-up commits. Vite
reported existing chunk-size/dynamic-import warnings.
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` passed (`26/26`).
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` passed (`39/39`).
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` passed.
- Captured Storybook screenshots from `ui/storybook-static` for visual
review.
- Latest PR checks on `5ca3a5cf`: `policy`, serialized server suites
1/4-4/4, `Canary Dry Run`, `e2e`, `security/snyk`, and `Greptile Review`
pass; aggregate `verify` is still registering the completed child
checks.
- Greptile review loop continued through the latest requested pass; all
Greptile review threads are resolved and the latest `Greptile Review`
check on `5ca3a5cf` passed with 0 comments added.

## Screenshots

Before: the provider-vault and remote-import surfaces did not exist on
`master`; these are after-state screenshots from the Storybook fixtures.

## Risks

- Migration risk: this adds new secret provider tables and extends
existing secret rows. The migrations were checked for monotonic ordering
and idempotent guards, but reviewers should still inspect upgrade
behavior carefully.
- Provider risk: AWS support uses direct SigV4 requests. Automated tests
cover signing, request timeouts, vault-config selection, namespace
guardrails, pending-version archival, sanitized provider errors, and
service-level cleanup paths. A real-vault AWS smoke test remains
deployment validation for an operator with AWS credentials rather than
an unverified merge blocker in this local branch.
- UI risk: the Secrets page and import dialog are large new surfaces;
screenshots are included above for reviewer inspection.
- Verification risk: the full local stable test command hit
parallel-load timing failures, although the exact failed files passed
when rerun directly.
- Operational risk: remote import intentionally avoids plaintext reads;
operators must understand that imported external references resolve at
runtime and may fail if AWS permissions change.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent with local shell/tool use in the
Paperclip worktree. Exact context-window size was not exposed by the
runtime.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate
planned core work
- [ ] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after
screenshots
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

+# AWS Secrets Manager Provider
+
+Operational contract for the hosted `aws_secrets_manager` secret provider used by Paperclip Cloud.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Hosted provider for Paperclip-managed secrets when Paperclip Cloud runs on AWS.
+- Source of truth for secret values is AWS Secrets Manager, not Postgres.
+- Paperclip stores only metadata needed for ownership, bindings, version selection, audit, and runtime resolution.
+- AWS provider bootstrap credentials are deployment/runtime credentials, not Paperclip-managed company secrets.
+- Remote import for existing AWS secrets is metadata-only. Preview/import uses
+  AWS inventory metadata and creates Paperclip external references; it does not
+  copy plaintext into Paperclip.
+- Per-company AWS provider vaults (named instances of `aws_secrets_manager`
+  with their own region, namespace, prefix, KMS key id, and tags) are managed
+  in the board UI under `Company Settings → Secrets → Provider vaults`. See
+  [Provider Vaults](../docs/deploy/secrets.md#provider-vaults) for the operator
+  model and [Provider Vaults API](../docs/api/secrets.md#provider-vaults) for
+  the routes. The bootstrap trust model in this document still applies — vault
+  config carries non-sensitive routing metadata only, never AWS credentials.
+
+## Bootstrap Trust Model
+
+The AWS provider has a chicken-and-egg boundary: Paperclip cannot use
+`company_secrets` to unlock the AWS provider that stores those secrets. The
+initial AWS trust must exist before the Paperclip server starts.
+
+Allowed bootstrap locations:
+
+- Infrastructure IAM or workload identity attached to the Paperclip server
+  runtime.
+- Process environment or orchestrator secret store used to start the Paperclip
+  server.
+- Local AWS SDK sources such as `AWS_PROFILE`, AWS SSO/shared config, web
+  identity, container metadata, or instance metadata.
+- Short-lived shell credentials for local development only.
+
+Do not ask operators to paste AWS root credentials or long-lived IAM user access
+keys into the Paperclip board UI. Do not store those bootstrap keys in
+`company_secrets`.
+
+## Paperclip Cloud Bootstrap
+
+Paperclip Cloud must provision the AWS backing resources before any board user
+can create AWS-backed company secrets:
+
+1. Create or select the deployment KMS key.
+2. Create the Paperclip server runtime role for the deployment.
+3. Attach a minimum IAM policy scoped to the deployment Secrets Manager prefix
+   and the configured KMS key.
+4. Configure the server runtime with the non-secret provider environment
+   variables below.
+5. Run `paperclipai doctor` or the provider health endpoint from the deployed
+   runtime and confirm that the provider reports the expected region, prefix,
+   deployment id, KMS setting, and AWS SDK credential source.
+
+Once this is in place, the board UI can create Paperclip-managed AWS secrets and
+Paperclip will write them under the deployment/company namespace.
+
+## Self-Hosted And Local Bootstrap
+
+Self-hosted AWS deployments should use the AWS SDK default credential provider
+chain. Preferred sources are role-based:
+
+- EC2 instance profile.
+- ECS task role.
+- EKS IRSA or another OIDC web identity role.
+- AWS SSO/shared config via `AWS_PROFILE`.
+
+Local development can use:
+
+```sh
+aws sso login --profile paperclip-dev
+AWS_PROFILE=paperclip-dev \
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager \
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_REGION=us-east-1 \
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DEPLOYMENT_ID=dev-local \
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID=arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/abcd-... \
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+Temporary `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment credentials
+are acceptable only as a local break-glass or short-lived test source. They
+should not be written to Paperclip config, committed to `.env` files, stored in
+`company_secrets`, or used as the default Paperclip Cloud bootstrap path.
+
+## Deployment Config
+
+Required environment variables:
+
+```sh
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DEPLOYMENT_ID=prod-us-1
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID=arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/abcd-...
+```
+
+Optional environment variables:
+
+```sh
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_PREFIX=paperclip
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_ENVIRONMENT=production
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_PROVIDER_OWNER=paperclip
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_ENDPOINT=
+PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DELETE_RECOVERY_DAYS=30
+```
+
+Naming convention for Paperclip-managed secrets:
+
+```text
+paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}
+```
+
+Tag set for Paperclip-managed secrets:
+
+- `paperclip:managed-by=paperclip`
+- `paperclip:provider-owner=<owner tag>`
+- `paperclip:deployment-id=<deployment id>`
+- `paperclip:company-id=<company id>`
+- `paperclip:secret-key=<secret key>`
+- `paperclip:environment=<environment tag>`
+
+## IAM And KMS Assumptions
+
+Launch posture:
+
+- One Paperclip app role per deployment.
+- One deployment-scoped KMS key per deployment at launch.
+- Future per-company KMS keys remain compatible because Paperclip stores provider refs and version metadata separately from values.
+
+Minimum IAM boundary:
+
+- Allow `secretsmanager:CreateSecret`, `PutSecretValue`, `GetSecretValue`, and `DeleteSecret`.
+- Scope resources to the deployment prefix:
+
+```text
+arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:paperclip/<deployment-id>/*
+```
+
+- Allow `kms:Encrypt`, `kms:Decrypt`, `kms:GenerateDataKey`, and `kms:DescribeKey` for the configured deployment CMK.
+- Deny wildcard access outside the deployment prefix.
+- Prefer workload identity / role-based auth. Do not store AWS credentials inline in Paperclip config.
+
+Example minimum policy shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Sid": "PaperclipDeploymentSecrets",
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "secretsmanager:CreateSecret",
+        "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
+        "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
+        "secretsmanager:DeleteSecret"
+      ],
+      "Resource": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:paperclip/<deployment-id>/*"
+    },
+    {
+      "Sid": "PaperclipDeploymentKms",
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "kms:Encrypt",
+        "kms:Decrypt",
+        "kms:GenerateDataKey",
+        "kms:DescribeKey"
+      ],
+      "Resource": "arn:aws:kms:<region>:<account-id>:key/<key-id>"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Operational expectation:
+
+- Paperclip-managed secrets may be deleted only by Paperclip or an operator with equivalent break-glass access.
+- External references may resolve through Paperclip runtime, but Paperclip should not delete the external secret resource.
+
+## Remote Import Inventory IAM
+
+Remote import preview needs one additional AWS permission:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Sid": "PaperclipRemoteSecretInventory",
+  "Effect": "Allow",
+  "Action": "secretsmanager:ListSecrets",
+  "Resource": "*"
+}
+```
+
+This is intentionally separate from the managed create/rotate/delete policy.
+AWS treats `ListSecrets` as an account/Region inventory action; do not document
+secret ARNs, names, tags, or AWS request filters as an IAM boundary for it. Use
+`Resource: "*"` and decide whether inventory exposure is acceptable for the AWS
+account and Region behind each provider vault.
+
+Remote import preview/import must not call:
+
+- `secretsmanager:GetSecretValue`
+- `secretsmanager:BatchGetSecretValue`
+- `kms:Decrypt`
+
+Those permissions are only needed later when a bound runtime resolves an
+imported external reference. For imported refs, scope read permissions to the
+operator-approved external prefixes that Paperclip is allowed to consume:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Sid": "PaperclipResolveImportedExternalReferences",
+  "Effect": "Allow",
+  "Action": "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
+  "Resource": [
+    "arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:<approved-external-prefix>/*"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+If selected external secrets use customer-managed KMS keys, also grant
+`kms:Decrypt` and `kms:DescribeKey` on those keys. Keep managed write/delete
+permissions scoped to `paperclip/<deployment-id>/*`; do not broaden them for
+remote import.
+
+Safe scoping guidance:
+
+- Prefer one Paperclip runtime role per environment/account.
+- Point provider vaults at the intended AWS account and Region instead of a
+  broad central admin role.
+- Enable `ListSecrets` only in accounts where inventory exposure is acceptable.
+- Keep preview/import board-only; agent API keys must not call these routes.
+- Treat AWS tag/name filters as search UX only, not permission enforcement.
+
+Paperclip also blocks importing refs under its own managed namespace as
+external references. Use the Paperclip-managed flow for
+`paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}` resources.
+
+## Existing AWS Secrets
+
+V1 keeps existing AWS Secrets Manager entries as **linked external references**, not adopted
+Paperclip-managed resources.
+
+Use the Paperclip-managed flow when Paperclip should create and rotate the value. The AWS
+secret name is derived from deployment and company scope:
+
+```text
+paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}
+```
+
+Use the external-reference flow when the secret already exists at an operator-owned path such
+as:
+
+```text
+/paperclip-bench/anthropic_api_key
+```
+
+In that mode Paperclip stores only the path or ARN, resolves it at runtime, and records
+redacted access events. Operators rotate the actual value in AWS. Update the Paperclip
+reference only when the AWS path, ARN, or pinned provider version changes.
+
+Paperclip does not currently offer an "adopt existing AWS secret" flow that takes over future
+`PutSecretValue` writes for an arbitrary existing secret. Adding that later requires explicit
+confirmation UX, scope validation, expected Paperclip tags, and security/cloud-ops review.
+
+## Data Custody
+
+- Paperclip stores `externalRef`, `providerVersionRef`, provider id, fingerprint hash, status, and binding metadata.
+- Paperclip does not store AWS secret plaintext in `company_secret_versions.material`.
+- Runtime resolution fetches the value from AWS only when a bound consumer needs it.
+
+## Rotation Runbook
+
+Manual Paperclip-managed rotation:
+
+1. Write the new value through the Paperclip secret rotate flow.
+2. Paperclip creates a new AWS secret version with `PutSecretValue`.
+3. Paperclip records the new `providerVersionRef` in `company_secret_versions`.
+4. Re-run or restart affected workloads that consume `latest`, or pin consumers to a specific Paperclip version before rollout when you need staged release safety.
+
+Guidance:
+
+- Prefer pinned Paperclip secret versions for risky rollouts.
+- Treat provider-native automatic rotation as a later enhancement; current V1 flow is explicit create-new-version plus controlled rollout.
+
+## Backup And Restore Runbook
+
+What must survive:
+
+- Paperclip database metadata for secret ownership, bindings, status, and provider version refs.
+- AWS Secrets Manager namespace under the configured deployment prefix.
+- The configured KMS key and its decrypt permissions.
+
+Restore checklist:
+
+1. Restore Paperclip database metadata.
+2. Confirm the same AWS Secrets Manager namespace still exists.
+3. Confirm the Paperclip runtime role can call `GetSecretValue` on the restored prefix.
+4. Confirm the role still has decrypt access to the CMK referenced by `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID`.
+5. Run the live smoke below or a targeted runtime secret resolution test.
+
+## Provider Outage Runbook
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- Secret create/rotate/resolve operations fail with AWS provider errors.
+- Agent runs fail before adapter invocation on required secret resolution.
+- Remote import preview fails to list AWS inventory.
+
+Immediate actions:
+
+1. Confirm AWS regional health and Secrets Manager availability.
+2. Confirm the runtime role still has `GetSecretValue` and KMS decrypt permissions.
+3. Check for accidental prefix, region, deployment id, or KMS key config drift.
+4. Retry a single resolution after AWS service health is green.
+5. If outage persists, pause high-risk runs that require secret access rather than churning retries.
+
+Remote import-specific actions:
+
+- Missing list permission: add `secretsmanager:ListSecrets` with
+  `Resource: "*"` only when inventory import is approved for that vault's
+  AWS account and Region.
+- Throttling: narrow the search, wait briefly, and retry with backoff. Avoid
+  full-account enumeration.
+- Invalid or stale cursor: refresh the preview and discard the old
+  `NextToken`.
+- Large account: load pages intentionally, keep one in-flight preview request
+  per vault/search, and do not run background full-account crawls.
+- Runtime read failure after import: verify `GetSecretValue` and KMS decrypt
+  on the selected external secret. Visibility in `ListSecrets` does not prove
+  read permission.
+
+## Incident Response Runbook
+
+Potential incidents:
+
+- Cross-company access caused by IAM scoping drift.
+- KMS policy drift causing decrypt failures or over-broad access.
+- Suspected secret exposure in logs, transcripts, or downstream agent output.
+
+Response steps:
+
+1. Stop or pause affected Paperclip runs.
+2. Audit recent Paperclip secret access events for impacted secret ids and consumers.
+3. Audit AWS CloudTrail for `ListSecrets`, `GetSecretValue`,
+   `PutSecretValue`, and `DeleteSecret` calls on the relevant vault account,
+   Region, deployment prefix, and approved external prefixes.
+4. Rotate impacted secrets in AWS through Paperclip-managed versioning.
+5. Re-scope IAM and KMS policies before resuming normal traffic.
+6. If a value may have reached an agent transcript or external system, treat it as exposed and rotate immediately.
+
+## Optional Live Smoke
+
+This is safe to skip locally. Run it only against a dedicated AWS test namespace.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- AWS credentials or workload identity with the deployment-scoped IAM permissions above.
+- `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager`
+- The required `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_*` environment variables set.
+
+Suggested smoke:
+
+1. Create a test secret through the Paperclip board or API under a throwaway company.
+2. Confirm the resulting AWS secret name matches `paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}`.
+3. Rotate the secret once and confirm a new `providerVersionRef` appears in Paperclip metadata.
+4. Resolve the secret through a bound runtime path, not by adding a general-purpose reveal endpoint.
+5. Delete the throwaway secret and confirm AWS schedules deletion with the configured recovery window.

+# Plugin Secret Refs: Company Scope Reintroduction Plan
+
+Date: 2026-04-26
+Status: follow-up after fail-closed mitigation
+Related issue: PAP-2394
+
+## Current state
+
+`PAP-2394` now fails closed:
+
+- `POST /api/plugins/:pluginId/config` rejects any config containing plugin secret refs.
+- `ctx.secrets.resolve()` is disabled for plugin workers.
+
+This removes the release-blocking cross-company exposure path, but it also disables plugin secret-ref support until the runtime carries company scope end to end.
+
+## Vulnerability summary
+
+The original design mixed an instance-global config store with company-scoped secret bindings:
+
+- [server/src/routes/plugins.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/server/src/routes/plugins.ts:1898) saved one global plugin config row, then wrote bindings into `company_secret_bindings` grouped by each referenced secret's owning company.
+- [packages/db/src/schema/plugin_config.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/db/src/schema/plugin_config.ts:15) stored one config row per plugin, with no company dimension.
+- [packages/db/src/schema/company_secret_bindings.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/db/src/schema/company_secret_bindings.ts:5) already modeled bindings as company-scoped.
+- [server/src/services/plugin-secrets-handler.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/server/src/services/plugin-secrets-handler.ts:212) resolved by `pluginId` + secret UUID, with no active company context from the bridge call.
+- [packages/plugins/sdk/src/worker-rpc-host.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/plugins/sdk/src/worker-rpc-host.ts:384) exposed `ctx.config.get()` and `ctx.secrets.resolve()` without a company parameter.
+
+This violated Least Privilege, Complete Mediation, and Secure Defaults.
+
+## Recommended end state
+
+Re-enable plugin secret refs only after both of these are true:
+
+1. Plugin config reads/writes are company-scoped.
+2. Runtime secret resolution carries explicit company context and enforces it at resolution time.
+
+## Implementation plan
+
+### 1. Make plugin config company-scoped
+
+- Add `company_id` to `plugin_config`, with a unique index on `(plugin_id, company_id)`.
+- Update registry helpers to require `companyId` for `getConfig`, `upsertConfig`, `patchConfig`, and `deleteConfig`.
+- Update plugin config routes to require `companyId` and call `assertCompanyAccess(req, companyId)`.
+- Keep instance-global plugin lifecycle state separate from company-scoped plugin config.
+
+### 2. Propagate company context through the worker runtime
+
+- Extend the SDK so `ctx.config.get()` and `ctx.secrets.resolve()` can receive or derive `companyId`.
+- Introduce worker request context storage for handlers that already run with company scope:
+  - `getData`
+  - `performAction`
+  - scoped API routes
+  - tool executions
+  - environment driver calls
+- Fail closed when plugin code tries to read company-scoped config or secrets outside an active company context.
+
+### 3. Rebind secrets by `(companyId, pluginId, configPath)`
+
+- On config save, validate every referenced secret belongs to the authorized company.
+- Store bindings only for that company.
+- Resolve secrets only by the current company-scoped binding, never by bare plugin ID plus UUID.
+- Treat stale bindings as invalid and remove them on config replacement.
+
+### 4. Prevent cross-company config disclosure
+
+- When returning config to the UI, only materialize the selected company's secret refs.
+- Never expose another company's secret UUIDs through the global plugin config surface.
+
+## Required regression coverage
+
+- Company A board user cannot save plugin config that references a Company B secret.
+- Company A plugin execution cannot resolve a Company B secret even if the same plugin is configured for Company B.
+- Company-scoped config reads only return the selected company's secret bindings.
+- Config replacement removes stale bindings for the same `(companyId, pluginId)` target.
+- Runtime calls without company context fail closed.
+
+## Migration notes
+
+- Existing `plugin_config` rows need a migration strategy before re-enable.
+- Safest default: do not auto-assume a company for historical secret refs.
+- Prefer one of:
+  - explicit admin migration per company, or
+  - import existing rows as non-secret config only and require re-entry of secret refs.
+
+## Release posture
+
+- Keep plugin secret refs disabled until all steps above land.
+- Do not restore the feature behind a soft warning; the insecure path must remain unavailable by default.

+
+Remote import lets the board link existing AWS Secrets Manager entries as
+Paperclip `external_reference` secrets without copying plaintext into
+Paperclip.
+
+Both routes are board-only and company-scoped. The selected provider vault must
+belong to the company, use `aws_secrets_manager`, and have a selectable status
+(`ready` or `warning`). Disabled, coming-soon, or cross-company vaults are
+rejected.
+
+Remote import is an inventory and metadata workflow. Preview calls AWS
+`ListSecrets` only and import stores a Paperclip external reference plus
+fingerprint/version metadata. Neither route calls `GetSecretValue` or
+`BatchGetSecretValue`, requests `SecretString`, requires KMS decrypt, logs raw
+remote metadata, or copies secret plaintext into Paperclip.

+
+`query` is optional and is sent to AWS as an inventory filter. Treat it as
+non-secret metadata because AWS may record list request parameters in
+CloudTrail. `nextToken` is an opaque AWS cursor; pass it back unchanged.

+
+Candidate `status` values:
+
+- `ready`: no existing exact external reference and no name/key collision.
+- `duplicate`: an existing secret already has the exact provider `externalRef`.
+- `conflict`: the suggested Paperclip `name` or `key` is already in use.
+
+Conflict `type` values are `exact_reference`, `name`, `key`, and
+`provider_guardrail`. AWS refs under Paperclip's own managed namespace are
+blocked as external references so one company cannot import another company's
+Paperclip-managed AWS secret through a broad runtime role.

+
+The import response is row-level. Ready rows become active
+`external_reference` secrets with version metadata only. Exact-reference
+duplicates and name/key conflicts are skipped without failing the whole request.
+The `secrets` array accepts 1-100 rows, and the backend re-checks duplicates and
+conflicts at submit time.
+Each row may include an optional Paperclip `description` entered during review;
+blank descriptions are stored as `null`. AWS provider descriptions are not
+copied into this field.

+
+Imported references may still fail during a future bound runtime resolution if

+
+### Create Vault
+
+```
+POST /api/companies/{companyId}/secret-provider-configs
+{
+  "provider": "aws_secrets_manager",
+  "displayName": "Prod US-East",
+  "isDefault": true,
+  "config": {
+    "region": "us-east-1",
+    "namespace": "paperclip",
+    "secretNamePrefix": "paperclip",
+    "kmsKeyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/abcd-...",
+    "environmentTag": "production"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Per-provider `config` shapes:
+
+- `local_encrypted`: optional `backupReminderAcknowledged: boolean`.
+- `aws_secrets_manager`: required `region`; optional `namespace`,
+  `secretNamePrefix`, `kmsKeyId`, `ownerTag`, `environmentTag`.
+- `gcp_secret_manager` (coming soon): optional `projectId`, `location`,
+  `namespace`, `secretNamePrefix`.
+- `vault` (coming soon): optional origin-only HTTPS `address`, `namespace`,
+  `mountPath`, `secretPathPrefix`. `address` values with embedded credentials,
+  paths, query strings, or fragments are rejected.
+
+`status` defaults to `ready` for `local_encrypted` and `aws_secrets_manager`,
+and to `coming_soon` for `gcp_secret_manager` and `vault`. Coming-soon and
+disabled vaults cannot be marked `isDefault`. Setting `isDefault: true` clears
+the previous default for the same provider in the same transaction.
+
+### Get Vault
+
+```
+GET /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}
+```
+
+### Update Vault
+
+```
+PATCH /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}
+{
+  "displayName": "Prod US-East-2",
+  "config": {
+    "region": "us-east-2",
+    "kmsKeyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:key/abcd-..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`config` is replaced wholesale on update — pass the full provider config
+payload, not a partial diff. Status transitions for `gcp_secret_manager` and
+`vault` are constrained to `coming_soon` and `disabled` until their runtime
+modules ship.
+
+### Disable Vault
+
+```
+DELETE /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}
+```
+
+Soft-deletes the vault: status flips to `disabled`, `isDefault` clears, and
+`disabledAt` is stamped. Disabled vaults remain in `GET` results for audit
+purposes but are no longer offered in the secret create/rotate flow.
+
+### Set Default
+
+```
+POST /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}/default
+```
+
+Marks the target vault as the default for its provider family and clears the
+previous default. Returns 422 when the target is `coming_soon` or `disabled`.
+
+### Run Health Check
+
+```
+POST /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}/health
+```
+
+Runs a provider-specific health probe and persists the result on the vault.
+Response shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "configId": "<uuid>",
+  "provider": "aws_secrets_manager",
+  "status": "ready" | "warning" | "error" | "coming_soon" | "disabled",
+  "message": "Provider vault is ready to handle managed writes",
+  "details": {
+    "code": "provider_ready",
+    "message": "...",
+    "guidance": ["..."]
+  },
+  "checkedAt": "2026-05-06T14:00:00.000Z"
+}
+```
+
+Health responses never include provider credentials or secret values. For AWS
+vaults, `details.guidance` may include missing non-secret env names and the
+expected AWS SDK credential source; coming-soon vaults always return
+`status: "coming_soon"` with `code: "runtime_locked"` and never call into
+provider modules.
+
+### Selecting A Vault When Creating Or Rotating Secrets
+
+`POST /api/companies/{companyId}/secrets` and
+`POST /api/secrets/{secretId}/rotate` both accept an optional
+`providerConfigId` field that pins the secret to a specific vault. When
+omitted (or null), the operation runs through the deployment-level provider
+configuration — the same path existing installs already use. The board UI
+preselects the company's default vault for the chosen provider before
+submitting, so callers should usually send an explicit `providerConfigId`.
+Coming-soon and disabled vaults are rejected with a 422; a vault that does not
+match the secret's provider is rejected the same way.
+
+```json
+POST /api/companies/{companyId}/secrets
+{
+  "name": "prod-stripe-key",
+  "provider": "aws_secrets_manager",
+  "providerConfigId": "<vault-uuid>",
+  "managedMode": "external_reference",
+  "externalRef": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:paperclip/prod/stripe"
+}
+```
+
+### Response Redaction Rules
+
+Every route in this surface enforces the same redaction contract:
+
+- Secret values are never returned. The board UI never has a "reveal value"
+  affordance; resolution happens server-side at runtime under a binding.
+- Provider credential values are never accepted, stored, returned, logged, or
+  echoed in error messages. Submitting credential-shaped fields fails
+  validation with a non-leaking error.
+- Activity log entries record vault id, provider, displayName, status, and
+  isDefault transitions — never `config` payloads or health detail bodies.
+
+## Remote Import From AWS Secrets Manager
+
+Remote import links existing AWS Secrets Manager entries into Paperclip as
+`external_reference` secrets. Import stores provider reference metadata only; it
+does not copy the remote secret plaintext into Paperclip.
+
+The routes are board-only and company-scoped. `providerConfigId` must point to
+a same-company AWS provider vault with status `ready` or `warning`. Disabled,
+coming-soon, non-AWS, and cross-company vaults are rejected. Imported secrets
+resolve later through the selected vault, so runtime reads still need
+`secretsmanager:GetSecretValue` and any required KMS decrypt permission on the
+selected external secret.
+
+### Preview Remote Import Candidates
+
+```
+POST /api/companies/{companyId}/secrets/remote-import/preview
+{
+  "providerConfigId": "<aws-vault-uuid>",
+  "query": "stripe",
+  "nextToken": "opaque-provider-token",
+  "pageSize": 50
+}
+```
+
+`query` is optional and is passed to AWS Secrets Manager inventory filtering.
+Treat it as non-secret metadata because AWS may record list request parameters
+in CloudTrail. `nextToken` is an opaque AWS cursor; callers must pass it back
+unchanged and must not synthesize offsets. `pageSize` is optional, defaults to
+50 in the UI, and is capped at 100.
+
+Preview uses AWS `ListSecrets` only. It must not call `GetSecretValue` or
+`BatchGetSecretValue`, must not request `SecretString`, and must not require KMS
+decrypt. The response contains sanitized metadata for display and conflict
+decisions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "providerConfigId": "<aws-vault-uuid>",
+  "provider": "aws_secrets_manager",
+  "nextToken": null,
+  "candidates": [

+      "status": "ready",
+      "importable": true,
+      "conflicts": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Candidate statuses:
+
+- `ready`: the row can be selected for import.
+- `duplicate`: a Paperclip secret already links the same canonical provider
+  reference for the same provider vault.
+- `conflict`: the row has a name/key collision or provider guardrail failure.
+
+Conflict types are `exact_reference`, `name`, `key`, and
+`provider_guardrail`. AWS refs under Paperclip's own managed namespace are
+blocked as external references; use the Paperclip-managed secret flow for those
+resources instead.
+
+### Import Selected Remote References
+

+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The `secrets` array accepts 1-100 rows. Each row may override the suggested
+Paperclip `name`, `key`, optional Paperclip `description`,
+`providerVersionRef`, and sanitized `providerMetadata`. Blank descriptions are
+stored as `null`; AWS provider descriptions are not copied into Paperclip
+descriptions. The backend re-checks duplicate refs and name/key conflicts at
+submit time; a stale preview does not bypass those checks.
+
+The import response is row-level:
+
+```json
+{

+  "provider": "aws_secrets_manager",
+  "importedCount": 1,

+      "secretId": "<paperclip-secret-id>",
+      "conflicts": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Row statuses:
+
+- `imported`: Paperclip created an active `external_reference` secret and one
+  metadata-only version row.
+- `skipped`: the row had an exact-reference duplicate or name/key conflict.
+- `error`: the provider rejected the reference or the row failed validation.
+
+Activity logs for preview/import store aggregate counts, provider id, and vault
+id only. They must not store remote secret names, ARNs, descriptions, tags,
+plaintext values, provider credentials, or raw AWS error blobs.

 Paperclip encrypts secrets at rest using a local master key. Agent environment variables that contain sensitive values (API keys, tokens) are stored as encrypted secret references.
 
+## Custody Boundaries
+
+Paperclip protects secret values up to the moment they are handed to an agent
+or workload:
+
+- Storage: values are encrypted at rest by the active provider. The local
+  provider keeps them encrypted with a key that never leaves the host.
+- Transport: values are decrypted server-side and injected into the agent
+  process environment, SSH command env, sandbox driver, or HTTP request
+  immediately before the call. Paperclip does not return decrypted values to
+  the board UI.
+- Audit: each resolution records a non-sensitive event (secret id, version,
+  provider id, consumer, outcome) without the value or provider credentials.
+
+Once a value reaches the consuming process, Paperclip can no longer guarantee
+secrecy. The agent (or sandbox, or remote host) can read the value, write it to
+its own logs or transcript, or pass it to downstream tools. Treat any secret
+you bind to an agent as exposed to that agent. Limit blast radius with bindings
+(only bind what each agent needs), short-lived provider credentials where the
+provider supports them, and rotation when an agent transcript or downstream
+system might have captured a value.
+
+## Using Secrets In Runs
+
+Creating a company secret does not automatically create an environment variable.
+You use a secret by binding it into an agent, project, environment, or plugin
+configuration field that supports secret references.
+
+For agent and project environment variables:
+
+1. Create or link the secret in `Company Settings > Secrets`.
+2. Open the agent's `Environment variables` field, or the project's `Env`
+   field.
+3. Add the environment variable key the process expects, such as `GH_TOKEN` or
+   `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+4. Set the row source to `Secret`, select the stored secret, and choose either
+   `latest` or a pinned version.
+
+At runtime, Paperclip resolves the selected secret server-side and injects the
+resolved value under the env key from the binding row. The stored secret name
+can be human-readable; the binding key is what the agent process receives.
+
+Project env applies to every issue run in that project. When a project env key
+matches an agent env key, the project value wins before Paperclip injects its
+own `PAPERCLIP_*` runtime variables.

+
+## Provider Vaults
+
+A *provider vault* is a named, company-scoped configuration that points secret
+material at one of the supported provider backends. Each company can configure
+multiple vaults, including more than one vault per provider family, and pick a
+default vault per family for new secret operations. Existing secrets created
+before any vault was configured continue to resolve through the deployment-level
+default provider — no migration is required.
+
+### Where to configure
+
+Open `Company Settings → Secrets` in the board UI and switch to the
+`Provider vaults` tab. From there you can:
+
+- Create a vault for any supported provider family.
+- Edit the non-secret config of an existing vault.
+- Set one ready vault per provider family as the company default.
+- Disable a vault (a soft delete that keeps audit history).
+- Run a health check against a vault and read the latest result inline.
+
+The same operations are exposed under
+`/api/companies/{companyId}/secret-provider-configs` for automation. See the
+[secrets API reference](/api/secrets#provider-vaults) for the full route table.
+
+### Custody Of Provider Credentials
+
+Provider vaults intentionally store only **non-sensitive** configuration:
+region, project id, namespace, prefix, KMS key id, mount path, address, and
+similar routing metadata. The API, UI, and activity log never accept, return,
+or display provider credential values. Submitting fields with names like
+`accessKeyId`, `secretAccessKey`, `token`, `password`, `serviceAccountJson`,
+`privateKey`, `keyFile`, `unsealKey`, or any common credential alias is rejected
+at validation time.
+
+That keeps the bootstrap rule from the AWS provider applicable to every
+provider family: **provider credentials live in deployment infrastructure
+identity, not in Paperclip company secrets**. Allowed credential sources are
+workload identity attached to the Paperclip server (instance profile, IRSA, ECS
+task role), `AWS_PROFILE` / SSO / shared config for local runs, an orchestrator
+secret store that boots the server, or short-lived shell credentials for local
+development. Do not paste long-lived API keys into the vault config.
+
+### Vault Status
+
+Each vault carries a status that drives what the runtime can do with it:
+
+| Status        | Meaning                                                                                       |
+|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `ready`       | Selectable for create/rotate/resolve. Eligible to be the default.                             |
+| `warning`     | Saved config exists but health needs attention (for example missing AWS env). Still selectable. |
+| `coming_soon` | Visible and editable as draft metadata, but locked out of all runtime operations.            |
+| `disabled`    | Soft-deleted. Hidden from the secret create/rotate flow.                                      |
+
+`gcp_secret_manager` and `vault` are pinned to `coming_soon` until their
+runtime modules ship. The settings UI lets you save draft configuration for
+those providers (and surfaces them on the vault list), but secret create,
+rotate, and resolve calls that target a coming-soon vault fail with a clear
+runtime-locked error.
+
+### Default Vault Behavior
+
+A company can mark **one** ready (or warning) vault per provider family as the
+default. The secret create and rotate dialogs preselect the default vault for
+the chosen provider so operators don't have to remember which vault to pick.
+Coming-soon and disabled vaults cannot be marked default; attempting to do so
+returns a validation error. Setting a new default automatically clears the
+previous default for that provider.
+
+If a secret is created without any `providerConfigId` (no vaults exist yet, or
+the operator clears the selector), runtime resolution falls back to the
+deployment-level provider configuration — the same path existing installs use.
+This keeps secrets created before any provider vault was configured working
+without migration. Picking the default in the UI is an explicit selection, not
+a runtime fallback: the create call still sends an explicit `providerConfigId`.
+
+### Multiple Vaults Per Provider
+
+Multiple vaults from the same provider family are first-class. Common patterns:
+
+- Two AWS vaults pointing at different regions or KMS keys for environment
+  separation.
+- A staging Vault address alongside a production address.
+- A dedicated GCP project for a single product line while the rest of the
+  company uses another.
+
+Each vault has its own display name, status, default flag, and health record.
+Operators choose the vault explicitly when creating or rotating a secret; the
+default vault is preselected to avoid accidental routing to the wrong account.
+
+### Per-Vault Health Checks
+
+`POST /api/secret-provider-configs/{id}/health` runs a provider-specific health
+probe and stores the result on the vault row. The settings UI exposes the same
+action and renders the result inline. Health responses include a status,
+operator-facing message, and structured guidance (such as missing env var
+names, expected credential sources, and backup reminders). They never include
+provider credentials or secret values. Coming-soon vaults always return a
+`runtime_locked` health code and never call into provider modules.
+
+### Provider-Specific Notes
+
+**Local encrypted vaults** wrap the existing `local_encrypted` provider. The
+master key path and rotation guidance described above still applies. A local
+vault config is mostly bookkeeping plus an explicit acknowledgement that the
+key file is backed up alongside the database.
+
+**AWS Secrets Manager vaults** read the per-vault `region`, `namespace`,
+`secretNamePrefix`, `kmsKeyId`, `ownerTag`, and `environmentTag` to route
+managed writes and external-reference reads. The vault config supplements (and
+can override) the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_*` env. Bootstrap
+credentials still come from the AWS SDK default credential chain — see
+`doc/SECRETS-AWS-PROVIDER.md` for the full IAM and KMS contract.
+
+**GCP Secret Manager** and **HashiCorp Vault** vaults are coming soon. You can
+save draft `projectId`, `location`, `namespace`, `address`, and `mountPath`
+metadata so the company is ready to flip them on when the provider modules
+ship. Vault `address` values must be origin-only `http(s)://host[:port]` URLs;
+addresses with embedded credentials, paths, query strings, or fragments are
+rejected.
+
+### Remote Import From AWS Vaults
+
+AWS provider vaults can import existing AWS Secrets Manager entries as
+Paperclip `external_reference` secrets. This is a metadata-only link: Paperclip
+stores the AWS ARN/path, a fingerprint/version reference, and binding metadata.
+It does not read, copy, store, log, or display the remote plaintext secret
+value during preview or import.
+
+Operator flow in the board UI:
+
+1. Open `Company Settings -> Secrets`.
+2. Confirm at least one AWS provider vault is `ready` or `warning`.
+3. In the `Secrets` tab, choose `Import from vault`.
+4. Select an AWS vault, search the remote inventory, and load more pages as
+   needed.
+5. Check the rows to import, review/edit the Paperclip name and key, then
+   submit.
+6. Review the result summary for created, skipped, and failed rows.
+
+The preview list is intentionally paged and search-first. AWS accounts can have
+large per-Region inventories, and `ListSecrets` returns opaque `NextToken`
+cursors. Do not expect Paperclip to crawl a whole account in the background;
+load pages deliberately and retry throttled requests with backoff.
+
+Remote import exposes AWS secret metadata visible to the Paperclip runtime
+role, including names/ARNs and safe derived fields such as dates, whether a
+description or KMS key exists, and tag count. Treat names, ARNs, tags, and
+search text as operational metadata that may be sensitive. The API and activity
+log must not store raw descriptions, tags, plaintext values, provider
+credentials, or raw AWS error blobs.
+
+Required AWS posture:
+
+- Preview needs optional `secretsmanager:ListSecrets` permission on
+  `Resource: "*"`. AWS does not support constraining `ListSecrets` to
+  individual secret ARNs or tags as an IAM boundary.
+- Preview/import must not call `secretsmanager:GetSecretValue`,
+  `secretsmanager:BatchGetSecretValue`, or KMS decrypt.
+- Runtime resolution of an imported reference still needs
+  `secretsmanager:GetSecretValue` on the selected external ARN/path and KMS
+  decrypt when that secret uses a customer-managed key.
+- Keep managed create/rotate/delete permissions scoped to the Paperclip
+  deployment prefix. Do not broaden managed write/delete permissions just
+  because import inventory is enabled.
+
+Safe scoping comes from deployment posture rather than AWS list filtering:
+dedicated Paperclip runtime roles per environment/account, AWS vaults pointed at
+the intended account and Region, import-enabled roles only where inventory
+exposure is acceptable, and board-only access to the import routes. Tags and
+name filters are search aids, not a permission model.
+
+If import preview fails:
+
+- `AccessDenied` or `not authorized`: the runtime role is missing
+  `secretsmanager:ListSecrets`; add the optional inventory statement only if
+  remote import should be enabled for that vault.
+- Throttling: retry after a short delay and narrow the search before loading
+  more pages.
+- Invalid cursor: refresh the preview; AWS `NextToken` values are opaque and
+  can expire or become stale.
+- Runtime resolution failure after import: verify `GetSecretValue` and KMS
+  decrypt scope for the selected external secret. Being visible in inventory is
+  not proof that the runtime role can read the value.
+
+### Backup And Restore
+
+Each provider family has a different backup story:
+
+- `local_encrypted`: back up the local master key file and the Paperclip
+  database together. Either alone is not enough to restore the encrypted
+  values, and the vault row only records the path and acknowledgement, not the
+  key bytes.
+- `aws_secrets_manager`: back up Paperclip's database for vault metadata
+  (vault id, region, prefix, KMS key id, default flag, bindings, version
+  pointers). The actual secret values live in AWS Secrets Manager under the
+  configured prefix; restore by pointing the same Paperclip company at the
+  same AWS namespace and confirming the runtime role still has
+  `GetSecretValue` plus KMS decrypt. The full restore checklist lives in
+  `doc/SECRETS-AWS-PROVIDER.md`.
+- `gcp_secret_manager` and `vault`: while these are coming soon, only the
+  draft vault config exists in Paperclip. Database backups capture it. There
+  is nothing to restore on the provider side until runtime support lands.
+
+### AWS Provider Bootstrap Boundary
+
+The AWS Secrets Manager provider cannot bootstrap itself from Paperclip
+`company_secrets`. Its initial AWS access must be present before the server can
+create or resolve AWS-backed company secrets, regardless of whether you use the
+deployment-level default or a per-company vault.
+
+For Paperclip Cloud, provision the server runtime IAM role/workload identity,
+KMS key, deployment prefix, and non-secret `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_*` environment
+configuration before enabling AWS-backed secrets in the board UI. For
+self-hosted and local runs, use the AWS SDK default credential chain: instance
+profile, ECS task role, EKS IRSA/OIDC web identity, AWS SSO/shared config via
+`AWS_PROFILE`, or short-lived shell credentials for local development.
+
+Do not store AWS root credentials or long-lived IAM user access keys in
+Paperclip secrets. Bootstrap material belongs in infrastructure IAM/workload
+identity, the process environment, an AWS profile, or the orchestrator secret
+store.
+
 ## Migrating Inline Secrets
 
 If you have existing agents with inline API keys in their config, migrate them to encrypted secret refs:
 
 ```sh
+pnpm paperclipai secrets migrate-inline-env --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai secrets migrate-inline-env --company-id <company-id> --apply
+
+# low-level script for direct database maintenance
 pnpm secrets:migrate-inline-env         # dry run
 pnpm secrets:migrate-inline-env --apply # apply migration
 ```
 
+Use the CLI command for normal operations because it goes through the Paperclip
+API, creates or rotates secret records, and updates agent env bindings with
+audit logging.
+
+## Portable Declarations
+
+Company exports include only environment declarations. They do not include
+secret IDs, provider references, encrypted material, or plaintext values.
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai secrets declarations --company-id <company-id> --kind secret
+```
+
+Before importing a package into another instance, use those declarations to
+create local values or link hosted provider references in the target deployment.
+For hosted providers such as AWS Secrets Manager, the hosted provider remains
+the value custodian; Paperclip stores metadata and provider version references,
+not provider credentials or plaintext secret values.
+
 ## Secret References in Agent Config
 
 Agent environment variables use secret references:
