CodeQL py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data flagged 3 call sites that
logged the auto-generated admin password to stdout via logger.info().
Production log aggregators (ELK/Splunk/etc) would have captured those
cleartext secrets. Replace with a shared helper that writes to
.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt with mode 0600, and log only
the path.
New file
--------
- app/gateway/auth/credential_file.py: write_initial_credentials()
helper. Takes email, password, and a "initial"/"reset" label.
Creates .deer-flow/ if missing, writes a header comment plus the
email+password, chmods 0o600, returns the absolute Path.
Modified
--------
- app/gateway/app.py: both _ensure_admin_user paths (fresh creation
+ needs_setup password reset) now write to file and log the path
- app/gateway/auth/reset_admin.py: rewritten to use the shared ORM
repo (SQLiteUserRepository with session_factory) and the
credential_file helper. The previous implementation was broken
after the earlier ORM refactor — it still imported _get_users_conn
and constructed SQLiteUserRepository() without a session factory.
No tests changed — the three password-log sites are all exercised
via existing test_ensure_admin.py which checks that startup
succeeds, not that a specific string appears in logs.
CodeQL alerts 272, 283, 284: all resolved.
