What does this PR do?

A hand-edited credentials file with a comment on a header line ([prod] # production account) didn't match the section pattern, so that section's keys were read into the section above it:

• The default profile silently authenticated with the prod key.
• --profile prod found no credentials.
• The next write saved the swap and lost the original default key.

Headers may now end in a # or ; comment. Any other line starting with [ resets the current section, so keys under a header the parser can't read never land in another profile.

Notes for reviewers

• src/lib/credentials.ts (parseCredentials):
  • the header regex accepts a trailing comment: /^\[([^\]]+)\]\s*(?:[#;].*)?$/;
  • an unreadable [-line sets currentEntry = null.
• Two new unit tests in credentials.test.ts (one for a #/; comment on a header, one for an unreadable header). Both fail on main and pass with the fix. Local results: 48/48 there, full suite green, tsc / Prettier clean.
• This is a different root cause from [Hackathon] fix(credentials): setup / auth remove replace a symlinked ~/.testsprite/credentials with a new file and delete every comment and unknown key in it #495 (comment and symlink handling on rewrite).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Credential files now correctly recognize profile headers followed by # or ; comments.
  • Keys following an invalid profile header are no longer assigned to the previous profile, helping prevent credentials from being associated with the wrong profile.

Walkthrough

parseCredentials now recognizes section headers followed by # or ; comments. It also clears the active section when a bracket-prefixed line does not match the header format. Tests cover both cases.

Changes

Credential parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Section header parsing and validation src/lib/credentials.ts, src/lib/credentials.test.ts	parseCredentials accepts trailing # or ; comments on section headers. An unreadable bracket-prefixed line clears the active section. Tests cover both behaviors.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

• TestSprite/testsprite-cli#651 — The issue describes the same credential parsing behavior for commented profile headers and unreadable headers.

Suggested labels: s4-cli-bonus

Suggested reviewers: zeshi-du, ruili-testsprite

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 95ec4

The parser now accepts commented headers and no longer mixes keys from an unreadable header into the preceding profile. A crafted or corrupted credentials file with a __proto__ section can still add a key to the shared object prototype. Using a null-prototype record for parsed profiles should be fixed before merging.

Explanation

Issue #702 has one direct coding objective, with two parts: (1) parse a section header that has a trailing # or ; comment, and (2) reset the current section when a [-line cannot be parsed as a header, so its keys do not land in the section above.

Part 1: The diff at head changes the header pattern in parseCredentials (src/lib/credentials.ts) from /^\[([^\]]+)\]$/ to /^\[([^\]]+)\]\s*(?:[#;].*)?$/. The header [prod] # production account now matches, and the name captured is prod. The new test 'reads a section header that carries a trailing comment' (src/lib/credentials.test.ts at head) covers [prod] # ... and [dev] ; ... and expects prod and dev to hold their own keys.

Part 2: The diff adds a branch after the header match: if the trimmed line starts with [ and did not match the header pattern, the code sets currentEntry = null and continues. Keys that follow an unreadable header are therefore skipped. The new test 'never moves keys under an unreadable header into the section above it' covers [prod] stray text and expects only default to remain.

I traced the issue repro against the new code. Input [default]\napi_key = A\n[prod] # c\napi_key = B now yields prod: { apiKey: 'B' } and default: { apiKey: 'A' }. The base code yielded default: { apiKey: 'B' }. Both new tests fail on the base pattern, which matches the PR claim.

The PR changes no other source file in the whole-PR diff (base to head). Its scope matches #702. The #495 root cause (rewrite comment and symlink handling) is not part of this change.

Limitation: the inspect_repository diff for the test file was unavailable. I read the test file at head instead. The test contents match the PR description. I did not run the test suite.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR change set (merge base to head) has two parts. Both serve #702.

1. src/lib/credentials.ts: the header regex gains an optional trailing #/; comment group, and a new branch resets currentEntry on any other [-line. Both edits implement #702 directly. No other logic in parseCredentials or the serializer changed in the diff.
2. src/lib/credentials.test.ts: two new it blocks in describe('parseCredentials') test the two behaviors above. These tests support the change and do not test unrelated code. The rest of the test file, which covers serialization and locking, is unchanged by this PR according to the diff summary.

No unrelated refactor, dependency change, or behavior change outside parseCredentials appears in the evidence. The PR description's extra checklist items (lint, format, typecheck, coverage) are process statements, not code changes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Use a null-prototype record for parsed profiles.

[__proto__] # account matches the new header expression. Since result is a plain object, result[sectionName] returns Object.prototype. The following api_key assignment can therefore add apiKey to Object.prototype, and no __proto__ profile is serialized.

Plain [__proto__] already matched the previous expression, so this pollution path predates the trailing-comment change. The new expression also makes it reachable with a trailing comment.

Suggested fix

-  const result: CredentialsFile = {};
+  const result: CredentialsFile = Object.create(null);
