✨ New Feature

📋 Feature Description

Command-based API key resolution using !cmd: prefix allows retrieving API keys from secure credential managers instead of hardcoding them in configuration files.

🎯 Problem Statement

Hardcoded API keys in .env files and MCP configurations pose security risks:

  • Keys get accidentally committed to version control
  • Difficult to share .env.example files without exposing actual credentials
  • Key rotation requires manual updates across all configuration files
  • No integration with enterprise credential management systems

💡 Solution

Implemented !cmd: prefix syntax that executes shell commands to retrieve API keys dynamically:

  • Commands executed synchronously using /bin/sh
  • Output automatically trimmed and validated
  • Configurable timeout via TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT
  • Sanitized error logging (never exposes commands or outputs)
  • Fully backward compatible with plain text keys

Implementation details:

  • Added parseTimeout() helper for smart timeout parsing (seconds vs milliseconds)
  • Added executeCommandForKey() for secure command execution with cross-platform shell support
  • Extended resolveEnvVariable() to detect and process !cmd: prefix
  • Uses shell: true for automatic platform-specific shell detection (cmd.exe on Windows, /bin/sh on POSIX)
  • Comprehensive test suite with 22 passing tests

How to Use It

Quick Start

# In your .env file, replace plain text keys with command-based retrieval
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=!cmd:security find-generic-password -a taskmaster -s anthropic -w

Example

macOS Keychain:

# Store key in macOS Keychain first
security add-generic-password -a taskmaster -s anthropic -w sk-ant-api03-xxxxx

# Then use in .env
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=!cmd:security find-generic-password -a taskmaster -s anthropic -w

pass (password-store):

# Store key in pass
pass insert taskmaster/openai

# Then use in .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=!cmd:pass show taskmaster/openai

1Password CLI:

# Use 1Password CLI
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=!cmd:op item get "Perplexity API" --field credential

AWS Secrets Manager:

# Retrieve from AWS Secrets Manager
GOOGLE_API_KEY=!cmd:aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id taskmaster/google --query SecretString --output text

What you should see:

  • API keys retrieved seamlessly from your credential manager
  • On failure: Error logged with key name and error type only (no command/output exposure)
  • Backward compatibility: Plain text keys continue to work

Configuration Options

# Optional: Configure command timeout (default: 5000ms)
TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT=5           # <=60 treated as seconds
TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT=10000       # >60 treated as milliseconds

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~50 minutes

  • Focus review on: executeCommand() and timeout parsing (unit logic), resolveVariable precedence (envObject → .env → process.env), error handling to avoid leaking secrets, and ensuring all old resolveEnvVariable usages were migrated.
  • Pay attention to the extensive new tests in tm-core and their mocks (execSync mock and environment hygiene).

**/*.test.js: Never use asynchronous operations in tests. Make all mocks return synchronous values when possible.
Always mock tests properly based on the way the tested functions are defined and used.
Follow the test file organization: mocks must be set up before importing modules under test, and spies on mocked modules should be set up after imports.
Use fixtures from tests/fixtures/ for consistent sample data across tests.
Always declare mocks before importing the modules being tested in Jest test files.
Use jest.spyOn() after imports to create spies on mock functions and reference these spies in test assertions.
When testing functions with callbacks, get the callback from your mock's call arguments, execute it directly with test inputs, and verify the results.
For ES modules, use jest.mock() before static imports and jest.unstable_mockModule() before dynamic imports to mock dependencies.
Reset mock functions (mockFn.mockReset()) before dynamic imports if they might have been called previously.
When verifying console assertions, assert against the actual arguments passed (single formatted string), not multiple arguments.
Use mock-fs to mock file system operations in tests, and restore the file system after each test.
Mock API calls (e.g., Anthropic/Claude) by mocking the entire module and providing predictable responses.
Set mock environment variables in test setup and restore them after each test.
Maintain test fixtures separate from test logic.
Follow the mock-first-then-import pattern for all Jest mocks.
Do not define mock variables before jest.mock() calls (they won't be accessible due to hoisting).
Use test-specific file paths (e.g., 'test-tasks.json') for all file operations in tests.
Mock readJSON and writeJSON to avoid real file system interactions in tests.

tests/{unit,integration,e2e}/**/*.test.js: When testing CLI commands built with Commander.js, test the command action handlers directly rather than trying to mock the entire Commander.js chain.
When mocking the Commander.js chain, mock ALL chainable methods (option, argument, action, on, etc.) and return this (or the mock object) from all chainable method mocks.
Explicitly handle all options, including defaults and shorthand flags (e.g., -p for --prompt), and include null/undefined checks in test implementations for parameters that might be optional.
Do not try to use the real action implementation without proper mocking, and do not mock Commander partially—either mock it completely or test the action directly.
Mock the action handlers for CLI commands and verify they're called with correct arguments.
Use sample task fixtures for consistent test data, mock file system operations, and test both success and error paths for task operations.
Mock console output and verify correct formatting in UI function tests. Use flexible assertions like toContain() or toMatch() for formatted output.
Mock chalk functions to return the input text to make testing easier while still verifying correct function calls.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc)

Each module in scripts/modules/ should be focused on a single responsibility, following the modular architecture (e.g., commands.js for CLI command handling, task-manager.js for task data and core logic, dependency-manager.js for dependency management, ui.js for CLI output formatting, ai-services-unified.js for AI service integration, config-manager.js for configuration management, utils.js for utility functions).

scripts/modules/*.js: Export all core functions, helper functions, and utility methods needed by your new function or command from their respective modules. Explicitly review the module's export block to ensure every required dependency is included.
Pass all required parameters to functions you call within your implementation and verify that direct function parameters match their core function counterparts.
Use consistent file naming conventions: 'task_${id.toString().padStart(3, '0')}.txt', use path.join for composing file paths, and use appropriate file extensions (.txt for tasks, .json for data).
Use structured error objects with code and message properties, include clear error messages, and handle both function-specific and file system errors.
Import all silent mode utilities together from 'scripts/modules/utils.js' and always use isSilentMode() to check global silent mode status. Wrap core function calls within direct functions using enableSilentMode() and disableSilentMode() in a try/finally block if the core function might produce console output.
Core functions should check outputFormat === 'text' before displaying UI elements and use internal logging that respects silent mode.
Design functions to accept dependencies as parameters (dependency injection) and avoid hard-coded dependencies that are difficult to mock.
Keep pure logic separate from I/O operations or UI rendering to allow testing the logic without mocking complex dependencies.

When adding utilities to 'scripts/modules/utils.js', only add functions that could be used by multiple modules, keep utilities single-purpose and purely functional, and document parameters and return values.

scripts/modules/utils.js: Place utilities used primarily by the core task-master CLI logic and command modules (scripts/modules/*) into scripts/modules/utils.js.
Document all parameters and return values using JSDoc format, include descriptions for complex logic, add examples for non-obvious usage, and do not skip documentation for 'simple' functions.
Support multiple log levels (debug, info, warn, error) in logging utilities, use appropriate icons, and respect the configured log level.
Do not add direct console.log calls outside the logging utility.
Use the exported silent mode functions (enableSilentMode, disableSilentMode, isSilentMode) rather than accessing global variables; always use isSilentMode() to check the current silent mode state.
Make the log function respect silent mode.
Use try/catch blocks for all file operations in utility functions, return null or a default value on failure, and log detailed error information using the log utility.
Create utilities for consistent task ID handling and support different ID formats (numeric, string, dot notation); do not duplicate formatting logic across modules.
Implement reusable task finding utilities that support both task and subtask lookups and add context to subtask results.
Implement cycle detection using graph traversal in utility functions, track visited nodes and recursion stack, and return specific information about cycles.
Use readJSON and writeJSON for all JSON file operations, include error handling, and validate JSON structure after reading; do not use raw fs.readFileSync or fs.writeFileSync for JSON.

3-3: LGTM! Version bump and contributor attribution.

The version bump to 0.30.0 is appropriate for this new feature, and the contributor attribution is properly formatted.

Also applies to: 53-55

README.md (2)

140-144: LGTM! Clear documentation of the new feature.

The documentation clearly explains the command-based API key resolution feature with a practical example.


176-176: LGTM! Consistent documentation across configuration sections.

The VS Code configuration section appropriately references the same feature documentation.

.env.example (2)

2-8: LGTM! Comprehensive examples for multiple credential managers.

The examples cover various popular credential managers, making it easy for users to adapt to their preferred tool.


21-22: LGTM! Clear configuration documentation.

The timeout configuration is well-documented with the heuristic clearly explained.

docs/configuration.md (2)

78-118: LGTM! Comprehensive feature documentation.

The documentation thoroughly covers the new command-based API key resolution feature with practical examples, security benefits, and configuration options. The error handling section is particularly helpful.


172-192: LGTM! Updated example configuration.

The updated .env example effectively demonstrates both plain text and command-based approaches, helping users understand the migration path.

scripts/modules/utils.js (3)

29-38: LGTM! Clean timeout parsing with sensible defaults.

The heuristic for distinguishing seconds from milliseconds (≤60 = seconds, >60 = milliseconds) is clever and well-documented. The default of 5000ms provides a reasonable balance.


48-69: Note: Error logging bypasses silent mode.

Line 66 uses console.error directly instead of the log() utility, which means these security-related errors will always be logged even in silent mode. This may be intentional for security errors, but worth noting for consistency.

Is this intentional behavior for security/error visibility, or should error logging also respect silent mode via the log() utility?


85-133: LGTM! Well-structured environment variable resolution with command support.

The updated implementation cleanly handles the command-based resolution:

  • Proper precedence order (session.env → .env → process.env)
  • Safe command detection with !cmd: prefix
  • Empty command validation (line 124)
  • Secure error logging without exposing command content
  • Correct return types (string | undefined | null)
tests/unit/scripts/modules/utils-command-keys.test.js (2)

1-76: LGTM! Comprehensive mock setup.

The mock setup is thorough and properly configured before imports, following Jest best practices.


277-311: LGTM! Excellent edge case coverage.

The edge case tests thoroughly cover special characters, whitespace handling, and various error conditions with proper error logging verification.

199-203: Document the timeout parsing behavior (≤60 as seconds, >60 as milliseconds).

The PR objectives mention that TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT should treat values ≤60 as seconds and >60 as milliseconds, but this behavior isn't documented in the PRD section on timeout configuration. Add this detail to section 5.2 for clarity.

Update lines 199-203 to specify the timeout parsing logic:

 **Timeout:**
 - Default timeout: 5 seconds
-- Configurable via `TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT` environment variable
+- Configurable via `TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT` environment variable (values ≤60 treated as seconds, >60 as milliseconds)
 - Prevents hanging on slow/stuck commands

This aligns with the actual implementation described in the PR objectives.


1-652: PRD location, structure, and content are well organized.

The document follows coding guidelines by placing a descriptive PRD in .taskmaster/docs/ and provides comprehensive coverage of feature design, use cases, technical requirements, acceptance criteria, risks, and dependencies. The 11-section structure is clear and actionable. Example code in section 5.1 is appropriately simplified for design purposes.

@totalolage thanks for the contribution, make sure you're creating a branch based on next, also make sure the CI passes, if there is anything core in what you're changing, make sure it lives inside the new packages/tm-core we're trying to refactor gradually into (written in typescript and serves as a core area where business logic lives and where other consumers in the apps/** use)

-
-Add !cmd: prefix support to retrieve API keys from credential managers instead of hardcoding them in configuration files.
-
-The !cmd: prefix allows environment variables to execute shell commands and use their output. This is particularly useful for retrieving sensitive credentials from secure storage like macOS Keychain, pass, 1Password CLI, etc.
-
-Example usage:
-```bash
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="!cmd:security find-generic-password -w -s openai-key"
-```
-
-Features:
-- Configurable timeout via TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT (default: 5 seconds)
-- Automatic timeout unit detection (≤60 = seconds, >60 = milliseconds)
-- Secure: never logs commands or their output
-- Backward compatible: non-prefixed values work unchanged
-- Full shell access: supports pipes, variables, and other shell features
-
-Implementation:
-- Added to @tm/core EnvironmentConfigProvider service
-- 41 comprehensive tests (26 existing + 15 new for !cmd:)
-- Exported via @tm/core/config for use in CLI, MCP, and other consumers
+Add !cmd: prefix to fetch API keys from credential managers with timeout and secure logging.

104-130: Improve timeout detection; avoid relying on err.killed for execSync.

execSync exposes timeouts via error.signal (e.g., SIGTERM). Use that first for clearer logs.

   private executeCommand(command: string, envName: string): string | null {
     try {
       const timeout = this.parseTimeout();
       const result: string = execSync(command, {
         encoding: 'utf8',
         timeout,
         stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
-        // @ts-ignore - TypeScript incorrectly flags shell:true as invalid, but it's valid at runtime
         shell: true
       });
       const trimmed = (result ?? '').trim();
       if (!trimmed) {
         throw new Error('empty-result');
       }
       return trimmed;
     } catch (err: any) {
-      const reason = err?.killed
-        ? 'timeout'
-        : (err?.status ?? err?.code ?? 'exec-failed');
+      const reason = err?.signal
+        ? String(err.signal)
+        : (err?.status ?? err?.code ?? 'exec-failed');
       this.logger.error(
         `Error executing command for ${envName}: ${String(reason)}`
       );
       return null;
     }
   }

Optional: with current Node typings, shell: true is valid; you can drop the ts-ignore if your TS setup is up to date.

199-211: Consider toning down exclamation mark emphasis in section titles.

The "Next Steps" section uses 16 exclamation marks across the document, which may feel excessive. The static analysis tool flagged this as EN_EXCESSIVE_EXCLAMATION. While not critical, you could reduce emphasis by removing some exclamation marks from task labels (e.g., use "Next Steps" instead of repeated ✅/⏸️ symbols throughout, or consolidate emphasis).

298-310: Consider consolidating or reformatting test strategy section.

Lines 298-310 list test cases with leading digits (1-10) followed by test descriptions. While clear, the numbering could conflict with actual test implementation numbering. Consider rewording to avoid ambiguity (e.g., "Test: Simple command" instead of "1. Simple command").

scripts/modules/*.js

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc)

Each module in scripts/modules/ should be focused on a single responsibility, following the modular architecture (e.g., commands.js for CLI command handling, task-manager.js for task data and core logic, dependency-manager.js for dependency management, ui.js for CLI output formatting, ai-services-unified.js for AI service integration, config-manager.js for configuration management, utils.js for utility functions).

scripts/modules/*.js: Export all core functions, helper functions, and utility methods needed by your new function or command from their respective modules. Explicitly review the module's export block to ensure every required dependency is included.
Pass all required parameters to functions you call within your implementation and verify that direct function parameters match their core function counterparts.
Use consistent file naming conventions: 'task_${id.toString().padStart(3, '0')}.txt', use path.join for composing file paths, and use appropriate file extensions (.txt for tasks, .json for data).
Use structured error objects with code and message properties, include clear error messages, and handle both function-specific and file system errors.
Import all silent mode utilities together from 'scripts/modules/utils.js' and always use isSilentMode() to check global silent mode status. Wrap core function calls within direct functions using enableSilentMode() and disableSilentMode() in a try/finally block if the core function might produce console output.
Core functions should check outputFormat === 'text' before displaying UI elements and use internal logging that respects silent mode.
Design functions to accept dependencies as parameters (dependency injection) and avoid hard-coded dependencies that are difficult to mock.
Keep pure logic separate from I/O operations or UI rendering to allow testing the logic without mocking complex dependencies.
When implementing core logic for new features, do so in 'scripts/modules/' before CLI or MCP interfaces, and d...

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/new_features.mdc)

When adding utilities to 'scripts/modules/utils.js', only add functions that could be used by multiple modules, keep utilities single-purpose and purely functional, and document parameters and return values.

scripts/modules/utils.js: Place utilities used primarily by the core task-master CLI logic and command modules (scripts/modules/*) into scripts/modules/utils.js.
Document all parameters and return values using JSDoc format, include descriptions for complex logic, add examples for non-obvious usage, and do not skip documentation for 'simple' functions.
Support multiple log levels (debug, info, warn, error) in logging utilities, use appropriate icons, and respect the configured log level.
Do not add direct console.log calls outside the logging utility.
Use the exported silent mode functions (enableSilentMode, disableSilentMode, isSilentMode) rather than accessing global variables; always use isSilentMode() to check the current silent mode state.
Make the log function respect silent mode.
Use try/catch blocks for all file operations in utility functions, return null or a default value on failure, and log detailed error information using the log utility.
Create utilities for consistent task ID handling and support different ID formats (numeric, string, dot notation); do not duplicate formatting logic across modules.
Implement reusable task finding utilities that support both task and subtask lookups and add context to subtask results.
Implement cycle detection using graph traversal in utility functions, track visited nodes and recursion stack, and return specific information about cycles.
Use readJSON and writeJSON for all JSON file operations, include error handling, and validate JSON structure after reading; do not use raw fs.readFileSync or fs.writeFileSync for JSON.
Use path.join() for cross-platform path construction, path.resolve() for absolute paths, and validate paths before file operations.

Line 57 claims "41/41 tests passing (26 existing + 15 new for !cmd:)", but the PR objectives summary references "comprehensive test suite (22 passing tests)". These numbers don't match and need clarification.

Please confirm the actual test count. Is it 22 total tests or 41/41 tests with 26 existing + 15 new? This discrepancy should be resolved to ensure documentation accuracy.


1-122: Well-structured Phase 1 PR documentation.

The template clearly articulates the scope, implementation details, test coverage, and delineation between Phase 1 (tm-core) and Phase 2 (consumer migration). All sections are present and professional. References to related documentation (migration spec, migration status) are helpful.

.taskmaster/docs/cmd-migration-status.md (1)

1-230: Clear and comprehensive migration status tracking.

The document effectively tracks completed, deferred, and remaining work with clear explanations of why Tasks 6-11 are deferred to Phase 2 (risk mitigation, architectural concerns). The two-phase approach is well justified and aligns well with the reviewer's request for minimal risk in this PR.

.taskmaster/docs/cmd-prefix-migration-spec.md (2)

1-343: Thorough and technically sound migration specification.

The document provides detailed analysis of current implementation, clear design rationale for extending EnvironmentConfigProvider (vs. creating separate service), and concrete TypeScript implementation guidance. The code examples for parseTimeout(), executeCommand(), and resolveValue() methods are well-structured. Preservation requirements and test strategy are clearly documented.


226-254: Security and preservation requirements are well-specified.

The implementation approach correctly identifies the need to keep !cmd: resolution as private methods and clearly specifies preservation requirements: no breaking changes, security (never log commands/output), backward compatibility, and proper error handling. This aligns well with the reviewer's concern about minimizing risk.

.taskmaster/docs/prd-command-based-api-keys.txt (2)

1-50: PRD properly placed and named per coding guidelines.

The PRD file correctly follows the guideline for .taskmaster/docs/*.txt placement and uses a descriptive filename (prd-command-based-api-keys.txt). The overview and problem statement are well-articulated, with practical examples covering macOS Keychain, pass, 1Password, AWS, Azure, and Doppler.


360-386: Implementation plan correctly phases work, but this conflicts with earlier sections.

The implementation plan clearly divides work into 4 phases (Phase 1: Core, Phase 2: Security, Phase 3: Integration, Phase 4: Docs), which aligns with the deferred work model. However, Sections 5.4 (Caching) and 5.7 (Optional Features) earlier in the document describe these as part of "Requirements," not deferred work. This creates ambiguity about what Phase 1 should deliver.

Clarify whether Phase 1 PR (current PR #1336) includes:

  • Caching (lines 245-287)?
  • Command allow-list (Section 5.7)?
  • Async execution (Section 5.7)?

Or should these be clearly marked as Phase 2+ work in the PRD?

Acceptance criteria mixes Phase 1 and future work.

The acceptance criteria section lists "Must Have," "Should Have," and "Could Have" items but doesn't explicitly map them to Phase 1 vs Phase 2. For example:

  • "Command result caching" (Should Have) — is this Phase 1 or Phase 2?
  • "Allow-list configuration" (Could Have) — clearly Phase 2+

Recommend adding Phase labels to each acceptance criterion for clarity.

Update the acceptance criteria section to explicitly mark which items apply to Phase 1 (current PR) vs Phase 2/future. This prevents scope creep and misalignment with the deferred work described in migration docs.

the current PR and "Phase 2" for deferred/future work). Mark all truly
blocking/current requirements (core command parsing, cross-platform support,

logging, GUI/enhancements) to Phase 2, and add a short note above the list
explaining the Phase labels and where to find Phase 2 backlog so scope is clear.

and improve timeout detection: import and use the project's central logger
(e.g., logger.error) instead of console.error, and when handling the execSync
catch, determine timeout by inspecting err.signal (or err.killed && err.signal)
rather than only err.killed/status/code; build a reason that includes the signal
(e.g., 'timeout (SIGTERM)') or fall back to err.status/err.code/err.message, and
include the full error message/details in the logger call while keeping the

336-368: Consider distinguishing command failures from missing values.

The resolveVariable method returns null when a !cmd: command fails and undefined when a value is not found. For debugging purposes, consider logging a warning when null is returned, as it indicates a command execution failure rather than a missing configuration.

Example enhancement:

 const projectId =
     getVertexProjectId(projectRoot) ||
     envProvider.resolveVariable(
         'VERTEX_PROJECT_ID',
         session?.env,
         projectRoot ? path.join(projectRoot, '.env') : undefined
     );
+
+// Log warning if command failed (returned null)
+if (projectId === null) {
+    log('warn', 'VERTEX_PROJECT_ID command execution failed');
+}

395-412: Improve error messaging for command execution failures.

When resolveVariable returns null (command execution failed), the error message "is not set in environment, session, or .env file" is misleading. Users need to know whether the API key wasn't found or whether a !cmd: command failed to execute.

Apply this diff to distinguish the error cases:

 const apiKey = envProvider.resolveVariable(
     envVarName,
     session?.env,
     projectRoot ? path.join(projectRoot, '.env') : undefined
 );

 // Special handling for providers that can use alternative auth or no API key
 if (!provider.isRequiredApiKey()) {
     return apiKey || null;
 }

-if (!apiKey) {
+if (apiKey === null) {
+    throw new Error(
+        `Command execution failed for ${envVarName}. Check that the !cmd: prefix command is valid and executable.`
+    );
+}
+if (apiKey === undefined) {
     throw new Error(
         `Required API key ${envVarName} for provider '${providerName}' is not set in environment, session, or .env file.`
     );
 }

329-476: CRITICAL: Tests still execute real shell commands - unresolved from previous review.

This issue was already flagged in a previous review but remains unaddressed. The !cmd: prefix tests execute real shell commands (echo, sleep, tr, exit) which will fail on Windows and create non-portable tests.

The tests must mock child_process.execSync instead of executing real commands. The previous review provided a detailed solution:

import * as cp from 'node:child_process';

beforeEach(() => {
  vi.clearAllMocks();
  // existing setup...
});

it('should execute command and use its output', () => {
  vi.spyOn(cp, 'execSync').mockReturnValue('test-model\n' as unknown as Buffer);
  process.env.TASKMASTER_MODEL_MAIN = '!cmd:any';
  const config = provider.loadConfig();
  expect(config.models?.main).toBe('test-model');
});

it('should handle command timeout', () => {
  const err: any = new Error('timeout');
  err.killed = true;
  vi.spyOn(cp, 'execSync').mockImplementation(() => {
    throw err;
  });
  process.env.TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT = '1';
  process.env.TASKMASTER_MODEL_MAIN = '!cmd:any';
  const config = provider.loadConfig();
  expect(config).toEqual({});
  delete process.env.TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT;
});

Apply the same mocking pattern to all tests in lines 329-476 to ensure cross-platform compatibility.


478-573: Apply the same mocking fix to resolveVariable tests.

The resolveVariable tests (lines 478-573) also execute real shell commands and need the same execSync mocking approach described above to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
packages/tm-core/src/config/services/environment-config-provider.service.ts (1)

106-132: Remove the @ts-ignore comment—it is unnecessary.

The @ts-ignore at line 113 claims TypeScript incorrectly flags shell: true as invalid. However, the Node.js type definitions for execSync explicitly type the shell option as boolean | string, which validates shell: true as correct. A npx tsc --noEmit check confirms no TypeScript errors are present for this code. The comment and suppression should be removed.

scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/ai_providers.mdc)

Integrate the new provider module with scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js by importing it and adding an entry to the PROVIDER_FUNCTIONS map.

scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js: Centralize all LLM calls through generateTextService or generateObjectService.
Do not import or call anything from the old ai-services.js, ai-client-factory.js, or ai-client-utils.js files.
Do not fetch AI-specific parameters (model ID, max tokens, temp) using config-manager.js getters for the AI call. Pass the role instead.
Do not implement fallback or retry logic outside ai-services-unified.js.
Do not handle API key resolution outside the service layer (it uses utils.js internally).

The telemetryData object returned by ai-services-unified.js must include the fields: timestamp, userId, commandName, modelUsed, providerName, inputTokens, outputTokens, totalTokens, totalCost, and currency.

scripts/modules/*.js

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc)

Each module in scripts/modules/ should be focused on a single responsibility, following the modular architecture (e.g., commands.js for CLI command handling, task-manager.js for task data and core logic, dependency-manager.js for dependency management, ui.js for CLI output formatting, ai-services-unified.js for AI service integration, config-manager.js for configuration management, utils.js for utility functions).

scripts/modules/*.js: Export all core functions, helper functions, and utility methods needed by your new function or command from their respective modules. Explicitly review the module's export block to ensure every required dependency is included.
Pass all required parameters to functions you call within your implementation and verify that direct function parameters match their core function counterparts.
Use consistent file naming conventions: 'task_${id.toString().padStart(3, '0')}.txt', use path.join for composing file paths, and use appropriate file extensions (.txt for tasks, .json for data).
Use structured error objects with code and message properties, include clear error messages, and handle both function-specific and file system errors.
Import all silent mode utilities together from 'scripts/modules/utils.js' and always use isSilentMode() to check global silent mode status. Wrap core function calls within direct functions using enableSilentMode() and disableSilentMode() in a try/finally block if the core function might produce console output.
Core functions should check outputFormat === 'text' before displaying UI elements and use internal logging that respects silent mode.
Design functions to accept dependencies as parameters (dependency injection) and avoid hard-coded dependencies that are difficult to mock.
Keep pure logic separate from I/O operations or UI rendering to allow testing the logic without mocking complex dependencies.
When implementing core logic for new features, do so in 'scripts/modules/' before CLI or MCP interfaces, and d...

Do not configure non-API key settings via environment variables.
Do not manually edit .taskmaster/config.json unless you are certain of the changes; use the task-master models command or models MCP tool for configuration.

**/*.test.js

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/tests.mdc)

**/*.test.js: Never use asynchronous operations in tests. Make all mocks return synchronous values when possible.
Always mock tests properly based on the way the tested functions are defined and used.
Follow the test file organization: mocks must be set up before importing modules under test, and spies on mocked modules should be set up after imports.
Use fixtures from tests/fixtures/ for consistent sample data across tests.
Always declare mocks before importing the modules being tested in Jest test files.
Use jest.spyOn() after imports to create spies on mock functions and reference these spies in test assertions.
When testing functions with callbacks, get the callback from your mock's call arguments, execute it directly with test inputs, and verify the results.
For ES modules, use jest.mock() before static imports and jest.unstable_mockModule() before dynamic imports to mock dependencies.
Reset mock functions (mockFn.mockReset()) before dynamic imports if they might have been called previously.
When verifying console assertions, assert against the actual arguments passed (single formatted string), not multiple arguments.
Use mock-fs to mock file system operations in tests, and restore the file system after each test.
Mock API calls (e.g., Anthropic/Claude) by mocking the entire module and providing predictable responses.
Set mock environment variables in test setup and restore them after each test.
Maintain test fixtures separate from test logic.
Follow the mock-first-then-import pattern for all Jest mocks.
Do not define mock variables before jest.mock() calls (they won't be accessible due to hoisting).
Use test-specific file paths (e.g., 'test-tasks.json') for all file operations in tests.
Mock readJSON and writeJSON to avoid real file system interactions in tests.
Verify file operations use the correct paths in expect statements.
Use different file paths for each test to avoid test interdependence.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.cursor/rules/tests.mdc)

tests/{unit,integration,e2e}/**/*.test.js: When testing CLI commands built with Commander.js, test the command action handlers directly rather than trying to mock the entire Commander.js chain.
When mocking the Commander.js chain, mock ALL chainable methods (option, argument, action, on, etc.) and return this (or the mock object) from all chainable method mocks.
Explicitly handle all options, including defaults and shorthand flags (e.g., -p for --prompt), and include null/undefined checks in test implementations for parameters that might be optional.
Do not try to use the real action implementation without proper mocking, and do not mock Commander partially—either mock it completely or test the action directly.
Mock the action handlers for CLI commands and verify they're called with correct arguments.
Use sample task fixtures for consistent test data, mock file system operations, and test both success and error paths for task operations.
Mock console output and verify correct formatting in UI function tests. Use flexible assertions like toContain() or toMatch() for formatted output.
Mock chalk functions to return the input text to make testing easier while still verifying correct function calls.

If adding Ollama or another provider not requiring an API key, add a specific check at the beginning of isApiKeySet and getMcpApiKeyStatus in scripts/modules/config-manager.js to return true immediately for that provider.

scripts/modules/config-manager.js: Import and use specific getters from scripts/modules/config-manager.js to access configuration values needed for application logic; pass the explicitRoot parameter to getters if calling from MCP direct functions.
Use isApiKeySet(providerName, session) from config-manager.js to check if a provider's key is available before attempting an AI call.
Handle potential ConfigurationError if the .taskmasterconfig file is missing or invalid when accessed via getConfig.

38-40: LGTM! Module aliases properly configured for new MCP imports.

The addition of @tm/mcp module name mappings correctly supports the new MCP-related imports introduced by the EnvironmentConfigProvider integration mentioned in the PR summary.

.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/command-based-keys.md (1)

1-102: Excellent documentation for the new feature.

The pull request template provides comprehensive documentation of the command-based API key resolution feature, including:

  • Clear problem statement and solution
  • Multiple real-world examples (macOS Keychain, 1Password, pass, AWS Secrets Manager)
  • Configuration options and timeout handling
  • Security considerations
  • Complete contributor checklist

This will help users adopt the feature safely and effectively.

apps/docs/configuration.mdx (1)

34-100: Excellent user documentation for command-based configuration.

The new "Command-Based Configuration (!cmd: Prefix)" section provides:

  • Clear explanation of how the feature works
  • Comprehensive examples for macOS Keychain, 1Password, pass, and AWS Secrets Manager
  • Proper security warnings and best practices
  • Timeout configuration guidance

This documentation will help users adopt the feature securely and understand the security trade-offs.

scripts/modules/config-manager.js (4)

18-27: LGTM! EnvironmentConfigProvider properly integrated.

The migration from resolveEnvVariable to EnvironmentConfigProvider is implemented correctly:

  • Clean removal of old import
  • Proper instantiation of envProvider
  • Ready for use throughout the module

540-544: LGTM! Proper resolution precedence for codebase analysis flag.

The update correctly uses envProvider.resolveVariable with proper parameter precedence:

  1. session?.env (MCP environment)
  2. process.env
  3. .env file at projectRoot

This maintains the documented priority while adding support for command-based resolution via the !cmd: prefix.


857-861: LGTM! API key resolution properly migrated.

The isApiKeySet function now uses envProvider.resolveVariable with:

  • Proper key name from keyMap
  • session?.env for MCP context
  • .env file path when projectRoot is provided

This correctly supports command-based API key resolution while maintaining backward compatibility.


1124-1129: LGTM! Base URL resolution properly migrated.

The getBaseUrlForRole function correctly uses envProvider.resolveVariable to resolve provider-specific BASE_URL values with support for .env file fallback when projectRoot is provided.

tests/unit/ai-services-unified.test.js (3)

252-260: LGTM! EnvironmentConfigProvider properly mocked.

The new mock for EnvironmentConfigProvider correctly:

  • Provides a resolveVariable method mock
  • Returns the mock instance from the constructor
  • Integrates with the existing test infrastructure

344-350: LGTM! Mock API key resolution updated correctly.

The mockResolveVariable implementation properly simulates the new resolution path, returning mock keys for known providers (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, OLLAMA_API_KEY) and null for unknown keys.


847-919: LGTM! Test coverage maintained for new resolution path.

The Codex CLI and Claude Code tests correctly use mockResolveVariable to simulate API key resolution scenarios (both with and without keys), ensuring the new EnvironmentConfigProvider integration is properly tested.

scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js (1)

9-9: LGTM! Clean migration to EnvironmentConfigProvider.

The path import and EnvironmentConfigProvider integration are correctly implemented. Module-level instantiation of envProvider is appropriate for this service layer.

Also applies to: 38-38, 62-63

.changeset/wet-areas-admire.md (1)

1-33: LGTM! Changeset follows guidelines.

The changeset correctly uses imperative mood and provides a comprehensive, user-facing summary of the !cmd: prefix feature. The description includes usage examples, features, and implementation details that will be valuable in the CHANGELOG.

Note: The static analysis warning about excessive exclamation marks is a false positive—the exclamation marks are part of the !cmd: syntax being documented, not stylistic overuse.

packages/tm-core/src/config/services/environment-config-provider.service.ts (3)

6-8: LGTM! Appropriate imports and constant definition.

The imports support the command execution and .env file parsing functionality. The CMD_PREFIX constant is well-defined and makes the prefix configurable if needed in the future.

Also applies to: 73-73


87-96: LGTM! Well-designed timeout parsing with sensible heuristics.

The timeout parsing logic correctly handles the common case where users specify seconds (≤60) versus milliseconds (>60). The default of 5000ms and fallback behavior for invalid values are appropriate.


141-153: LGTM! Clean command prefix detection and delegation.

The resolveValue method correctly identifies the !cmd: prefix, extracts the command, validates it's not empty, and delegates to executeCommand. The warning for empty commands is helpful for debugging.

Verify that configuration changes were made via the proper command-line tool.

These model configuration changes appear to be manual edits, which violates the coding guidelines. The guidelines explicitly state: "Do not manually edit .taskmaster/config.json unless you are certain of the changes; use the task-master models command or models MCP tool for configuration."

Additionally, these changes (switching from claude-code/sonnet to openai/gpt-5, removing fallback model) appear unrelated to the PR's main objective of adding command-based API key resolution. Consider whether these configuration changes should be in a separate commit or PR.

Update example code to align with EnvironmentConfigProvider architecture.

The example code at lines 253-290 shows resolveEnvVariable in scripts/modules/utils.js, but this PR migrates environment resolution to EnvironmentConfigProvider in @tm/core. When global config is implemented, the example should reflect the current architecture using EnvironmentConfigProvider.resolveVariable() rather than a standalone function in utils.js.

Consider updating the example to:

-#### 3. Environment Variable Resolution

   }

 }

This reflects the actual implementation and shows how global .env support can be added by passing different `envFilePath` values.

EnvironmentConfigProvider.resolveVariable(key, envObject?, envFilePath?) — check

parse that .env file, call this.resolveValue(...) for parsed values, log a
warning via this.logger.warn on read/parse errors, and return undefined when
nothing found so the example matches the new architecture and shows how to pass
project or global env file paths.

🧩 Analysis chain

Consider explicit handling of empty strings in environment variables.

At line 294, the check if (!rawValue) treats empty strings as falsy, meaning an explicitly set empty environment variable (e.g., SOME_VAR="") will be treated as "not found" and fall through to the next precedence level. This may be intentional, but it could surprise users who explicitly set empty values.

Consider whether empty strings should be preserved as valid values. If so, apply this diff:

-// If no value found anywhere, return undefined
-if (!rawValue) {
+// If no value found anywhere, return undefined  
+if (rawValue === undefined) {
     return undefined;
 }

Alternatively, if the current behavior is intentional (treating empty strings as unset), please document this behavior in the JSDoc comment for resolveVariable().


I'll verify the review comment by examining the codebase for the actual implementation, tests, and usage patterns.

Fix empty string handling throughout resolveVariable() method—currently treated as "not found."

The method silently treats empty strings as missing values across all three precedence levels. At lines 271, 277, and 287, the conditions if (envObject?.[key]), if (process.env[key]), and if (parsedEnv?.[key]) all use truthy checks that fail for empty strings. Additionally, line 294's if (!rawValue) continues this pattern. This means an explicitly set empty value (e.g., SOME_VAR="") gets skipped to the next source instead of being returned, contradicting the return type signature string | null | undefined.

Replace all falsy checks with explicit undefined checks:

 		// 1. Check envObject (e.g., session.env from MCP)
-		if (envObject?.[key]) {
+		if (envObject?.[key] !== undefined) {
 			rawValue = envObject[key];
 		}
 		// 2. Check process.env
-		else if (process.env[key]) {
+		else if (process.env[key] !== undefined) {
 			rawValue = process.env[key];
 		}
 		// 3. Read .env file if path provided
 		else if (envFilePath) {
 			try {
 				if (existsSync(envFilePath)) {
 					const envFileContent = readFileSync(envFilePath, 'utf-8');
 					const parsedEnv = parseDotenv(envFileContent);
-					if (parsedEnv?.[key]) {
+					if (parsedEnv?.[key] !== undefined) {
 						rawValue = parsedEnv[key];
 					}
 				}
 			} catch (error: any) {
 				this.logger.warn(`Could not read or parse ${envFilePath}: ${error.message}`);
 			}
 		}
 
 		// If no value found anywhere, return undefined
-		if (!rawValue) {
+		if (rawValue === undefined) {
 			return undefined;
 		}

Also add a test case for empty string handling to the test suite.

344-491: Critical: Tests execute real shell commands—add mocking for cross-platform compatibility.

Despite the past review comment being marked as addressed, these tests still execute real shell commands (echo, sleep, exit, tr) which will fail on Windows and violate unit test isolation principles. The tests need to mock child_process.execSync to be portable and fast.

Add mocking to make tests platform-independent:

Bug: Environment Variable Precedence Reversed

The resolveVariable method in EnvironmentConfigProvider changed the environment variable precedence. It now prioritizes process.env over .env files, reversing the previous behavior. This is a breaking change that can alter existing configurations.

Implements support for executing shell commands to retrieve API keys
instead of storing them as hardcoded values in configuration files.

Features:
- !cmd: prefix detection in environment variables
- Executes commands using execSync with /bin/sh shell
- Configurable timeout via TASKMASTER_CMD_TIMEOUT (supports both seconds and milliseconds)
- Sanitized error logging (never exposes commands or outputs)
- Backward compatible with existing hardcoded values
- Returns null on command failures, undefined if key not found

Implementation:
- Added parseTimeout() helper for timeout configuration
- Added executeCommandForKey() for command execution with error handling
- Extended resolveEnvVariable() to detect and process !cmd: prefix
- Comprehensive test suite with 22 passing tests

Example usage:
OPENAI_API_KEY="!cmd:security find-generic-password -a taskmaster -s openai -w"
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="!cmd:pass show taskmaster/anthropic"

This allows committing .env.example files with command syntax while
keeping actual credentials secure in system credential stores.

Updated model configuration to use GPT-5 as main and fallback models,
switched research to sonar-pro, and added codex-cli provider support.

Added comprehensive task breakdown for implementing command-based API
key resolution with !cmd: prefix support, including session caching,
security validation, and local config override capabilities.

Updated complexity analysis report for new tasks.
Removed .taskmaster and .claude directories from git tracking to keep
development state and editor configuration local to each developer.
Added both directories to .gitignore for future exclusion.

Physical files remain on disk for local development use.
Version bumped from 0.29.0 to 0.30.0 to reflect the addition of
command-based API key resolution feature (!cmd: prefix support).

Added Filip Kalný to contributors list.
Added comprehensive documentation for the new !cmd: prefix feature
that allows retrieving API keys from credential managers instead of
hardcoding them in configuration files.

Changes:
- .env.example: Added examples for macOS Keychain, pass, 1Password CLI
- README.md: Added v0.30.0 callout boxes in MCP configuration sections
- docs/configuration.md: New section with detailed feature documentation,
  security benefits, configuration options, and error handling

Includes examples for multiple credential management systems and
emphasizes backward compatibility with plain text keys.
Added changeset file for the !cmd: prefix feature that enables
retrieving API keys from credential managers.

Changes:
- .changeset/wet-areas-admire.md: Minor version bump with feature description
- .taskmaster/docs/prd-command-based-api-keys.txt: PRD documentation for the feature
Updated command execution to use platform-agnostic shell detection and

Changes:
- scripts/modules/utils.js: Changed shell: '/bin/sh' to shell: true for
  cross-platform compatibility (Windows/macOS/Linux)
- scripts/modules/utils.js: Exported parseTimeout for direct testing
- tests: Added 4 focused unit tests for parseTimeout with explicit
  assertions (undefined, '5', '1500', 'invalid')
- tests: Added explicit mockExecSync.mockReturnValue() to 7 tests to
  prevent actual command execution during unit tests
- docs/configuration.md: Updated to reflect cross-platform support

All 22 tests passing with proper mocking and no real command execution.
Changed changeset summary from past tense to imperative mood and
completed the truncated description.

Changes:

scripts/modules/config-manager.js (1)

538-553: Don't treat unresolved !cmd: flags as explicit false.

Line 549 falls back to the raw session.env value. When the MCP host supplies TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS='!cmd:…' and that command fails (envProvider already returns null), this branch lowercases '!cmd:…' and returns false, disabling codebase analysis even though the intended behavior is “flag unavailable → fall back to config/default (true)”. Please drop the manual session.env fallback here and rely on envProvider.resolveVariable, so command failures don’t silently flip the feature off.

-	// Priority 2: MCP session environment
-	if (session?.env?.TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS) {
-		const mcpFlag = session.env.TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS;

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
packages/tm-core/tests/integration/auth-token-refresh.test.ts (2)

1-13: Make the deprecation TODO more actionable.

The deprecation notice is well-documented, but the TODO could be more specific. Consider adding:

  • A tracking issue or ticket reference
  • The specific location where new tests should be created
  • A link to SupabaseAuthClient documentation or examples

Example enhancement:

- * TODO: Rewrite these tests to work with the new Supabase-based auth architecture.
+ * TODO: Rewrite these tests to work with the new Supabase-based auth architecture
+ * (see issue #XXXX). New tests should be placed in:
+ * - packages/tm-core/src/modules/auth/managers/auth-manager.spec.ts
+ * Reference: SupabaseAuthClient session management docs

17-25: Consider alternatives to the empty placeholder test.

The placeholder test exists only to prevent vitest from complaining about empty test suites, but it doesn't provide any value. Consider these alternatives:

  1. Delete the file entirely if the tests won't be rewritten soon
  2. Keep the file with a meaningful stub that at least validates the new architecture exists:
    it('should be reimplemented with SupabaseAuthClient', () => {
      // TODO: Implement token refresh tests using SupabaseAuthClient
      expect(true).toBe(true); // Placeholder until reimplementation
    });
  3. Reference where the functionality is now tested if it's covered elsewhere

Also, the comment at lines 18-20 is redundant with the file header documentation (lines 4-12).

packages/tm-core/src/modules/config/services/config-persistence.service.spec.ts (2)

48-51: Consider removing redundant mock clearing.

vi.clearAllMocks() on line 47 already clears all mocks including mockLogger methods. The explicit mockClear() calls are redundant.

Apply this diff to simplify:

 	beforeEach(() => {
 		persistence = new ConfigPersistence(testProjectRoot);
 		vi.clearAllMocks();
-		mockLogger.info.mockClear();
-		mockLogger.warn.mockClear();
-		mockLogger.error.mockClear();
-		mockLogger.debug.mockClear();
 	});

22-39: Remove unused named exports from the fs/promises mock.

The implementation uses import fs from 'node:fs/promises' (default import), so only the default object in the mock is actually used. The top-level named exports (readFile, writeFile, mkdir, etc.) are never referenced and create unnecessary vi.fn() instances.

Simplify the mock to:

vi.mock('node:fs/promises', () => ({
	default: {
		readFile: vi.fn(),
		writeFile: vi.fn(),
		mkdir: vi.fn(),
		unlink: vi.fn(),
		access: vi.fn(),
		readdir: vi.fn(),
		rename: vi.fn()
	}
}));
.taskmaster/docs/prd-command-based-api-keys.txt (2)

245-287: Consider adding Phase labels for clarity.

While Section 5.4 (Caching & Performance) is marked for Phase 1 in the implementation plan (line 364), this section doesn't explicitly indicate its phase. Adding a clear marker like "(Phase 1)" in the section heading or a note at the beginning would improve clarity and prevent scope confusion.

Note: This addresses the past review concern about Phase 1/2 scope ambiguity.


387-424: Consider adding Phase labels to acceptance criteria.

The acceptance criteria would benefit from explicit Phase labels (e.g., "Phase 1," "Phase 2") to clarify which items are in scope for the current PR versus future work. While the Must/Should/Could prioritization is helpful, it doesn't directly map to implementation phases.

Note: This addresses the past review concern about mixing Phase 1 and future work in acceptance criteria.

19-27: Add mock cleanup to beforeEach for test isolation.

Tests share the mockExecSync mock, which retains call history and configured return values across tests. Without clearing the mock in beforeEach, tests can interfere with each other—one test's mock setup may leak into another, and call-count assertions like toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2) will accumulate calls from previous tests.

Apply this diff:

 	beforeEach(() => {
+		vi.clearAllMocks();
 		// Clear all TASKMASTER_ env vars
 		Object.keys(process.env).forEach((key) => {
 			if (key.startsWith('TASKMASTER_')) {
 				delete process.env[key];
 			}
 		});
 		provider = new EnvironmentConfigProvider();

289-315: Consider splitting this test into two separate cases.

Reassigning customProvider mid-test (line 303) requires changing it from const to let. While functionally correct, this makes the test harder to follow.

Optionally refactor into two distinct test cases:

-		it('should work with custom validators', () => {
-			let customProvider = new EnvironmentConfigProvider([
+		it('should accept values that pass custom validation', () => {
+			const customProvider = new EnvironmentConfigProvider([
 				{
 					env: 'CUSTOM_NUMBER',
 					path: ['custom', 'number'],
 					validate: (v) => !isNaN(Number(v))
 				}
 			]);
-
 			process.env.CUSTOM_NUMBER = '123';
-			let config = customProvider.loadConfig();
+			const config = customProvider.loadConfig();
 			expect(config.custom?.number).toBe('123');
+		});

+		it('should reject values that fail custom validation', () => {
+			const warnSpy = vi.spyOn(console, 'warn').mockImplementation(() => {});
+			const customProvider = new EnvironmentConfigProvider([
+				{
+					env: 'CUSTOM_NUMBER',
+					path: ['custom', 'number'],
+					validate: (v) => !isNaN(Number(v))
+				}
+			]);
 			process.env.CUSTOM_NUMBER = 'not-a-number';
-			const warnSpy = vi.spyOn(console, 'warn').mockImplementation(() => {});
-			customProvider = new EnvironmentConfigProvider([
-				{
-					env: 'CUSTOM_NUMBER',
-					path: ['custom', 'number'],
-					validate: (v) => !isNaN(Number(v))
-				}
-			]);

351-547: Excellent mock-based test coverage for !cmd: prefix functionality.

The tests now properly mock execSync instead of executing real shell commands, making them portable across all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux). The test suite comprehensively covers:

  • Command execution and output usage
  • Output trimming behavior
  • Empty and whitespace-only outputs
  • Empty/whitespace-only commands (no execution)
  • Non-prefixed value passthrough
  • Special characters and shell features (pipes)
  • Failure scenarios and timeout handling
  • Timeout parsing logic (seconds vs milliseconds)
  • Multiple !cmd: variables in one config

The mock assertions appropriately verify both the calls to execSync and the resulting configuration values.


549-663: Strong test coverage for resolveVariable with proper mocking.

The resolveVariable tests effectively validate all resolution paths and edge cases using mocked command execution:

  • Resolution from process.env and envObject with correct precedence
  • Command-based resolution (!cmd:) from both sources
  • Proper return values: string (success), null (command failure/empty output), undefined (variable not found)
  • Output trimming and shell feature support
  • Appropriate verification of when execSync should and should not be called

The mocking approach ensures these tests run reliably on all platforms.

Bug: Redundant Environment Check Obscures Precedence Logic

Priority 2 check for session?.env?.TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS is unreachable dead code. Priority 1 already calls envProvider.resolveVariable() which checks session?.env as its first priority (line 271 in environment-config-provider.service.ts). If the value exists in session?.env, Priority 1 would have already returned it, making Priority 2 impossible to reach. This redundant check should be removed as it serves no purpose and creates confusion about the actual precedence order.

Bug: Dead code: unused placeholderValue lingering after refactor

The variable placeholderValue is declared but never used after being assigned in the switch statement. This appears to be dead code left over from refactoring. The variable was previously used for placeholder checking but that logic has been removed, yet the variable declarations remain in each case statement.

Bug: Unvalidated shell Execution Enables Command Injection Vulnerability

The shell: true option in execSync allows arbitrary shell command execution without any validation or sanitization. This creates a command injection vulnerability if an attacker can control the environment variable values (e.g., through MCP session.env or .env files). While the PR description mentions this is intentional for "full shell access", there is no validation to prevent dangerous commands like rm -rf /, curl malicious-site | sh, or other destructive operations. The PRD mentions implementing command validation and allow-lists, but none of that is present in the actual implementation.

83-84: Remove unused variables.

configExists and configSource are assigned but never read. They appear to be leftover from incomplete refactoring and should be removed to reduce cognitive load and maintain code cleanliness.

Apply this diff to remove the unused variables:

-	let configExists = false;
-	let configSource = '';

And remove the assignments on lines 90, 95, 116, 142, 197, and 228:

-		if (rootToUse) {
-			configSource = `found root (${rootToUse})`;
-		} else {
+		if (!rootToUse) {
-			configSource = `current directory (${rootToUse}) - no project markers found`;
-		configExists = true;
-			configSource = `file (${configPath})`; // Update source info
-			configSource = `defaults (parse error at ${configPath})`;
-		configSource = `defaults (no config file found at ${rootToUse})`;

531-544: Past dead code concern resolved; fix comment priority.

The migration to envProvider.resolveVariable() resolves the previous review comment about unreachable dead code at line 536. The new implementation correctly consolidates all environment variable checks (session.env, .env file, process.env) into a single call with proper precedence.

However, the comment on line 542 should say "Priority 2: Configuration file" not "Priority 1" for accuracy, since the environment variable check is Priority 1.

Apply this diff to fix the comment:

-	// Priority 1: Configuration file
+	// Priority 2: Configuration file

Each module in scripts/modules/ should be focused on a single responsibility, following the modular architecture (e.g., commands.js for CLI command handling, task-manager.js for task data and core logic, dependency-manager.js for dependency management, ui.js for CLI output formatting, ai-services-unified.js for AI service integration, config-manager.js for configuration management, utils.js for utility functions).

scripts/modules/*.js: Export all core functions, helper functions, and utility methods needed by your new function or command from their respective modules. Explicitly review the module's export block to ensure every required dependency is included.
Pass all required parameters to functions you call within your implementation and verify that direct function parameters match their core function counterparts.
Use consistent file naming conventions: 'task_${id.toString().padStart(3, '0')}.txt', use path.join for composing file paths, and use appropriate file extensions (.txt for tasks, .json for data).
Use structured error objects with code and message properties, include clear error messages, and handle both function-specific and file system errors.
Import all silent mode utilities together from 'scripts/modules/utils.js' and always use isSilentMode() to check global silent mode status. Wrap core function calls within direct functions using enableSilentMode() and disableSilentMode() in a try/finally block if the core function might produce console output.
Core functions should check outputFormat === 'text' before displaying UI elements and use internal logging that respects silent mode.
Design functions to accept dependencies as parameters (dependency injection) and avoid hard-coded dependencies that are difficult to mock.
Keep pure logic separate from I/O operations or UI rendering to allow testing the logic without mocking complex dependencies.
When implementing core logic for new features, do so in 'scripts/modules/' before CLI or MCP interfaces, and d...

All commands must resolve the tag using the pattern: options.tag || getCurrentTag(projectRoot) || 'master'
All commands must find projectRoot with error handling before proceeding
All commands must pass { projectRoot, tag } as context to core functions
MCP direct functions must accept and use a context object containing projectRoot and tag, and pass them to core functions
Do not hard-code tag resolution (e.g., const tag = options.tag || 'master';); always use getCurrentTag
Do not omit the --tag CLI option in commands that operate on tasks
Do not omit the context parameter when calling core functions from commands
Do not call readJSON or writeJSON without passing projectRoot and tag

Timestamp: 2025-07-18T05:38:17.352Z
Learning: In the Claude Task Master system, core task-manager functions are designed with fallback mechanisms for missing projectRoot parameters using the pattern `const projectRoot = providedProjectRoot || findProjectRoot();`. The readJSON and writeJSON functions have default parameters (projectRoot = null, tag = null) and handle missing parameters gracefully. Adding strict validation to these core functions would break the established flexible architecture pattern.

Learning: Claude Code provider should use environment variable isolation to temporarily manage ANTHROPIC_API_KEY during client creation: if CLAUDE_CODE_API_KEY is set, temporarily set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to that value; if CLAUDE_CODE_API_KEY is not set but ANTHROPIC_API_KEY exists, temporarily unset ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to force OAuth mode. This prevents the ai-sdk-provider-claude-code package from accidentally using API keys intended for the regular Anthropic provider while still allowing explicit API key usage as a fallback.

17-22: LGTM: Clean migration to EnvironmentConfigProvider.

The import of EnvironmentConfigProvider from @tm/core and removal of resolveEnvVariable is correctly implemented. The module-level singleton pattern is appropriate for the config manager's needs.


794-859: LGTM: Correct API key resolution with command support.

The migration to envProvider.resolveVariable() properly handles all return values:

  • undefined (not found) → returns false ✓
  • null (command failed) → returns false ✓
  • empty string → caught by trim check ✓
  • valid string → placeholder validation applied ✓

The function correctly passes session?.env to enable MCP session environment support.


1109-1124: LGTM: Correct base URL resolution without session.

The function intentionally passes undefined for the envObject parameter since getBaseUrlForRole doesn't accept a session parameter. This is correct—base URLs are resolved only from .env files or process.env, not from MCP session environments.
