feat: parameterize sensitive recorded inputs

[thymikee]

Summary

• add an explicit fill --record-as <VAR> authoring contract across CLI, Node, and MCP surfaces
• execute the live fill with the real value while retaining only ${VAR} in session state, diagnostics, target evidence, and published .ad scripts
• preserve ordinary literal fills, reject unsafe flag combinations, and fail missing replay values before dispatch
• document the security boundary and safe login/bootstrap workflow in ADR 0017 and CLI help

Closes #1348

Validation

• pnpm check:quick
• pnpm check:fallow --base origin/main
• pnpm exec vitest run --project provider-integration --maxWorkers=4 (144 passed)
• pnpm test:integration:node (15 passed, 6 live-only tests skipped)
• pnpm test:integration:progress:check
• bounded coverage run passed 4,576 tests; after the final evidence-sanitization edge case, the focused recorder/provider tests passed and the sole unrelated coverage timeout passed in isolation

SkillGym was not completed locally because its external model runners were unavailable from the sandbox.

Needs changes at d98628b:

1. P1: replayed parameterized fills add recordAs after ${VAR} expansion, then use the replay-scoped invoker, which bypasses runRequestWithinScope and registerParameterizedFillDiagnosticValue. Backend/dispatch diagnostics can therefore retain the expanded secret. Route replay-scoped actions through the same registration boundary and add a production-route regression test that makes the backend echo the value into diagnostics.

2. P1: replaceRecordedInputLiteral recursively rewrites every string and drops any selector/selector-chain entry containing the literal. A valid short/common value such as a corrupts unrelated response text and drops stable selectors like id="password", contrary to ADR 0017’s byte-preserved provenance rule. Parameterize only fields that semantically carry the fill value; test a one-character value alongside unrelated strings/selectors containing that character.

3. P2: inferFillText trims values and the recorder skips falsy literals, so ${PASSWORD} resolved from PASSWORD= or whitespace is re-recorded as a literal empty value rather than preserving the placeholder during replay/repair. Preserve the source placeholder independently of whether the resolved value is empty and cover empty/whitespace replay values.

CI is green, but the current provider scenario is mocked. After fixes, provide live simulator/device evidence that a parameterized fill executes the literal while the response, session state/events, diagnostics, temp/target .ad content, and replayed recording contain only ${VAR}. No separately authorized cross-vendor review was performed.

Addressed all three review findings in ff980e9:

• replay-scoped invocations now register parameterized fill values with diagnostics redaction, with a production-route regression that has the provider echo the resolved value into request diagnostics
• recording now parameterizes only semantic fill-value fields and exact value-bearing selector/evidence entries, preserving unrelated strings and stable selector provenance (including a one-character a regression)
• replay recording derives placeholder provenance from the unresolved source action, including empty and whitespace-only resolved values

Validation:

• focused recorder/replay tests: 12/12 passed
• changed provider scenario: 3/3 passed
• isolated reruns for aggregate load timeouts: 49/49 passed
• typecheck, build, format, lint, layering, fallow, and MCP metadata checks passed
• full coverage run reached 4,576/4,581 passing; its five unrelated timeout failures all passed in the isolated rerun above

Live iOS simulator evidence: recorded a Settings Search fill with --record-as LIVE_SECRET, confirmed the app received the literal, replayed the published script with --env, and confirmed the published/re-recorded scripts, session artifacts, and diagnostics retained only ${LIVE_SECRET} / [REDACTED]. All manual sessions were closed.

[thymikee]

Re-review at ff980e9: the prior replay-diagnostics, one-character corruption, and empty/whitespace placeholder findings are fixed with meaningful coverage. One blocker remains: parameterizeRecordedFillPayload now rewrites only top-level text, exact refLabel, and selected selector-chain entries. Backend echoes in fields such as message or nested settle.diff therefore pass unchanged into both the public response and recorded session state, violating #1348’s requirement that the literal never reach either boundary. The delta removes the previous fixtures that exercised message: Filled <secret> and settle.diff: value=<secret> and replaces them with safe strings, so tests no longer prove the security guarantee. Preserve unrelated provenance while dropping/redacting all value-bearing backend and settle output, and restore production-route coverage with nested/backend echoes. All CI is green; reported live iOS verification does not exercise this leak path. No separately authorized cross-vendor review was performed.
