1. log_filter.py module missing 📎 Requirement gap ⚙ Maintainability
Compliance requires the credential-masking filter to be implemented at operator_use/utils/log_filter.py, but this PR implements it in operator_use/utils/log_masking.py and imports that module instead. This violates the required location/interface and can break expected integrations that rely on the mandated path.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The credential-masking logging filter is not implemented at the required path `operator_use/utils/log_filter.py`.
## Issue Context
The PR currently implements `CredentialMaskingFilter` in `operator_use/utils/log_masking.py` and imports it from startup, but the compliance checklist mandates the dedicated module path.

2. gsk_/aiza/nvapi- unmasked 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security
The masking regexes do not include required provider credential formats gsk_ (Groq), AIza (Google), or nvapi- (NVIDIA), so these can appear unmasked in logs. This violates the requirement to mask all specified provider patterns at all log levels.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Required provider credential patterns `gsk_`, `AIza`, and `nvapi-` are not masked by the current regex set.
## Issue Context
Current `_MASK_PATTERNS` includes `sk-` and other generic prefixes, but not these provider-specific formats mandated by compliance.

3. Missing 32+ token masking 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security
The implementation does not mask generic high-entropy secrets matching [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,} in
key-value contexts, allowing such values to be logged unredacted. This fails the generic
credential-leakage mitigation requirement.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Generic high-entropy secrets (32+ chars) in key-value contexts are not masked.
## Issue Context
Compliance requires masking for `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,}` when logged as `key=value` or `key: value` even if the key name is not in a predefined list.

4. Tests miss required patterns 📎 Requirement gap ☼ Reliability
Automated tests do not verify masking for all required patterns (gsk_, AIza, nvapi-, and the
generic [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,} key-value context pattern). This allows regressions where required
credentials could be logged unmasked.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Test coverage is missing for required provider patterns and the generic high-entropy key-value masking rule.
## Issue Context
Compliance requires explicit automated verification for `gsk_`, `AIza`, `nvapi-`, and `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,}` in key-value contexts.

5. Logging args type broken 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
CredentialMaskingFilter.filter() converts all tuple/dict log args to strings, which can raise TypeError for existing %-style numeric formatting (e.g., %d, %.2f) during record formatting. This can crash logging calls or drop log output in normal execution paths.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`CredentialMaskingFilter.filter()` currently masks `record.msg` and then coerces `record.args` values to `str` to mask them. This breaks %-style logging for numeric placeholders (e.g. `%d`, `%.2f`) because the formatting step expects numbers, not strings.
### Issue Context
The repo already logs with numeric placeholders (iteration counters, timings, pids), so this will be hit in normal usage.
### Fix approach (safe)
- Avoid changing the types inside `record.args`.
- Instead, compute the final formatted message first, then mask that string:
- `rendered = record.getMessage()`
- `masked = mask_credentials(rendered)`
- Set `record.msg = masked` and `record.args = ()` so the formatter won’t re-apply `%` formatting.
- Optionally also consider masking exception text / stack info if present.
- Add/adjust tests to cover numeric placeholders (e.g., `logger.info('iter=%d', 3)` and `logger.info('took %.2f', 1.23)`) to ensure no exception is raised.

6. Masking not globally enforced 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
install_credential_masking() only adds the filter to the root logger, which is not a reliable way to ensure all emitted records are scrubbed (e.g., records from named loggers and/or handlers may bypass logger-level root filtering). This can leave credentials unmasked despite setup_logging() calling install_credential_masking().
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`install_credential_masking()` currently adds `CredentialMaskingFilter` only to `logging.getLogger().filters` (root logger). This is not a robust way to guarantee redaction across the application, because masking must be applied at a point that all emitted records traverse (typically handler filters or a global LogRecordFactory).
### Issue Context
- Logging is configured with `logging.basicConfig(..., handlers=...)` in `setup_logging()`.
- Many modules log using named loggers (`logging.getLogger(__name__)`).
### Fix approach (robust)
Implement masking at one (or both) of these global enforcement points:
1) **Handler-level filters (recommended minimum):**
- In `install_credential_masking()`, iterate over `root = logging.getLogger()` and add a `CredentialMaskingFilter` to every handler in `root.handlers` (idempotently).
- Consider also patching `root.addHandler` or re-running installation after any dynamic handler additions if applicable.
2) **Global LogRecordFactory (strong guarantee):**
- Use `logging.setLogRecordFactory()` to wrap the default factory and scrub `record.msg/args` (preferably by masking `record.getMessage()` and then clearing args as described in the other finding).
### Tests to add/adjust
- Add an integration-style test that attaches a `StreamHandler` with a formatter, emits via a named logger (`logging.getLogger('operator_use.test')`), and asserts captured output is masked.

Ready for review & merge ✅Hey @Jeomon, PR #30 is ready to land. This closes Issue #22 (credential masking in all log output). What's in here:
Known limitation (flagged transparently): Novel credential formats not matching the 5 regex groups will pass through unmasked. The patterns cover the most common cases but aren't exhaustive. This PR is independent and can merge at any time. No conflicts with main. |

BrowserPlugin and ComputerPlugin no longer register hooks to the main agent — subagents manage their own state injection. Test assertions updated accordingly: - Remove stale XML-tag assertions from SYSTEM_PROMPT tests - Fix browser tool name: 'browser' -> 'browser_task' - Update hook tests: register_hooks() is now a no-op for main agent, so assertions verify hooks are NOT wired (not that they are)
