fix(stack,supabase,prisma): keep plaintext search terms out of errors and logs - #1554
Search terms on encrypted columns are plaintext the caller chose to protect. Three error messages quoted them, and the Supabase adapter logged the full message at error level, the default STASH_STACK_LOG level. That broke the "plaintext is never logged" contract. Fixes CIP-5161.
Changes
matchNeedleError reports a short needle's length, not the needle. Drizzle, Supabase, Prisma and the core encryptQuery guard all share it.
Wildcard errors in Supabase like/ilike and Prisma eqlMatch report the pattern's length, not the pattern. Both build the message with a shared likeWildcardError(pattern). The issue didn't list the Supabase error, but it had the same problem.
Error logs in the Supabase query catch and DynamoDB handleError now name the kind of failure, not the message. Both catches see errors from every layer, and any of those messages can quote a value. The shared describeFailure helper builds that description. Every value it reports comes from a fixed allowlist:
the error class, if it is a built-in JS error or one of this library's classes;
a type, code or authCode (on the error or on a nested encryptionError), if it is a known EncryptionErrorTypes value, FFI error code or auth code.
Anything else is dropped. If reading the error throws, the description is unknown failure.
DynamoDB options.logger now gets a copy of the error that carries that description and the same code. errorHandler and the caller still get the full error. The stash-dynamodb skill example now logs error.code.
Merged main. The plaintext-table test from the CIP-5151 fix expected the error log to include the row path. It now checks for the failure kind instead, and still checks that the jsonb key never appears.
Changeset: patch for @cipherstash/stack, @cipherstash/stack-supabase, @cipherstash/stack-prisma and stash (for the skill change).
Verification
The regression tests were written first and failed on main because the term or message appeared in the output:
match-needle-guard.test.ts
operator-lowering-v3-text-search.test.ts
no-plaintext-in-errors.test.ts
dynamodb/resolve-decrypt.test.ts, which checks both the shared logger and the configured logger
describe-failure.test.ts tests that values shaped like identifiers but not on the allowlist are dropped (Qzx-secret-wvy, 123-45-6789). It also tests a throwing getter and a revoked proxy, and that the FFI allowlist matches PROTECT_ERROR_CODES. The auth allowlist is a Record<AuthErrorCode, true>, so the compiler checks it is complete.
CI is green on the current head, including the native and live suites.
Review notes
A plain validation Error now logs as just Error. Giving each adapter's validation errors a stable code is left as a follow-up. The caller still gets the full message.
selector-path.ts's String(value) was refuted: only non-finite numbers reach that branch.
… and logs
The free-text needle guard (matchNeedleError) quoted the rejected search
term, and the Supabase and Prisma wildcard errors quoted the rejected
pattern. Supabase's query-level catch then logged the full message at
error level, the default STASH_STACK_LOG level, so a short needle reached
production logs. Callers also commonly log thrown errors, and the Prisma
pattern can be arbitrarily long.
The three messages now report the term's length in codepoints instead of
the term. The Supabase catch logs only the failure's kind (error class,
plus the encryption error's type and code), since it sees errors from
every layer and any of their messages may quote a value. The full message
still reaches the caller in error.message.
Fixes CIP-5161.

…DB too
Review follow-up. The DynamoDB adapter's handleError logged the full
error message at error level, the same leak the Supabase catch had: the
message can quote a plaintext value from any layer below.
The log-safe description moves to a shared describeFailure helper in
adapter-kit, used by both adapters. Besides the error class it now keeps
the fixed identifiers a failure carries (type, code, authCode, on the
error or a nested encryptionError), so a PostgREST code or a token
service refusal such as USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED still reaches the log.
Each must look like an identifier, so a field holding data is dropped.
Also aligns the Supabase and Prisma wildcard error wording.

The changes add shared helpers for log-safe failure descriptions and wildcard validation messages. Supabase and DynamoDB logs use failure descriptions, while returned errors and error-handler inputs retain full messages. Selected search-validation errors report term length instead of the term.
Changes: Plaintext-safe errors and logs
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Failure descriptions for adapters languages/typescript/packages/stack/src/utils/logger/describe-failure.ts, languages/typescript/packages/stack/src/adapter-kit.ts, languages/typescript/packages/stack/__tests__/describe-failure.test.ts
describeFailure formats failure kinds and recognized identifiers without including error messages. The adapter kit exports it. Tests cover recognized and unknown values, fallback behavior, and the FFI error-code list.
DynamoDB and Supabase logs use failure descriptions. DynamoDB's configured logger receives a copied error with the safe message and original code; returned errors and error-handler inputs retain the full message. Tests and the example describe the respective logger and error-handler behavior.
Too-short match errors report the search term's codepoint length. Wildcard validation uses likeWildcardError to describe unsupported patterns without including them. Prisma and Supabase use the shared helper; tests check that terms are absent from errors. The changeset records patches for @cipherstash/stack, @cipherstash/stack-supabase, @cipherstash/stack-prisma, and stash.

Findings (3): 3 minor, all 3 inline.
Every finding was checked against ba272d9 before posting. The review raised three more findings and posted none of them, for these reasons:
Disproved.describeFailure can throw on an error object whose getter throws, or on a Proxy. No error that reaches either catch is built that way, and a revoked Proxy already throws one line earlier, at the instanceof check.
Needs a design decision.describeFailure lets through any code or type that looks like an identifier, such as alice.smith or 123-45-6789. That contradicts the docstring's promise that a library "cannot smuggle" data into the log. No caller in this repo puts data there, but the function is a public adapter-kit export. The fix is to reword the docstring, or to allowlist known values (EncryptionErrorTypes, the FFI codes, SQLSTATE).
Needs a design decision. In dynamodb/helpers.ts:81, options.logger.error still receives the full dynamoError, message included. This is fine if that caller-supplied hook counts as handing the error back to the caller. If it counts as a log, the changeset's claim is false, and the skills/stash-dynamodb example that sends the full error to console.error needs updating too.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
minor Every library validation Error that reaches this catch now logs only (Error), because none of them carries a type or code for describeFailure to report. For example, .order('email') on a TextEq column throws at :816, and the log no longer names the column or the reason, even though that message never held plaintext. Give the adapter's validation errors a stable code (such as ORDER_UNSUPPORTED or NEEDLE_TOO_SHORT) or a named class, so the log keeps the failure kind and still leaves out the message.

I'm leaving this as is in this PR. The finding is accurate: a plain validation Error now logs as (Error). Fixing it would mean giving every Supabase validation throw site a code and adding those codes to the describeFailure allowlist. That is a cross-adapter error-taxonomy change, larger than this fix. The caller still gets the full message in the returned error.message, so nothing is lost to the person running the query. Only the library's own log is coarser.

…DynamoDB logger hook
Review follow-up on CIP-5161.
- describeFailure accepted any identifier-shaped type/code/authCode, so an
error with code 'Qzx-secret-wvy' wrote that value to the log. It now
logs only allowlisted values: built-in and library error class names,
EncryptionErrorTypes, the FFI error codes (pinned to PROTECT_ERROR_CODES
by a test) and the auth codes (a Record over AuthErrorCode, so the
compiler rejects a missing one). The imports are type-only, so
adapter-kit still loads no native module.
- describeFailure returns 'unknown failure' if reading the error throws,
so describing a failure inside a catch cannot become a second failure.
- DynamoDB's options.logger hook received the full error. It now gets a
copy carrying the log-safe description and the same code; errorHandler
and the caller still get the full error. The stash-dynamodb skill
example now logs error.code, not error.message.
- The Supabase and Prisma like/ilike wildcard messages share a new
likeWildcardError(pattern) helper, which takes the pattern so no caller
can interpolate it.
- matchNeedleError's no-quoting rule moves into its JSDoc.

…lure kind
main's plaintext-table test (from the CIP-5151 fix) expected the error
log to carry the row path "[0].meta". This branch stops logging the
error message at all (CIP-5161), so the log now names the failure kind
(DecryptionError) instead. The assertion that matters, that the jsonb
key never reaches the log, still holds; the path is still in the error
returned to the caller.
