feat(tmproto): typed per-provider credentials for ServiceAccountAccess

[sujanchalla0510]

Summary

Closes #51.

AssetAccess with Method == service_account was the one payload left in the SDK where credentials were carried as opaque map[string]any — the bearer-equivalent credential blob where typing matters most. This PR types it for the two providers the schema recognizes (gcp, aws) while keeping forward compatibility for any other provider.

What changed

New typed credential structs (tmproto/artifact.go), matching the issue's proposed shape:

type GCPServiceAccountCredentials struct {
    ClientEmail string `json:"client_email"`
    PrivateKey  string `json:"private_key"`
    ProjectID   string `json:"project_id,omitempty"`
    TokenURI    string `json:"token_uri,omitempty"`
}

type AWSServiceAccountCredentials struct {
    AccessKeyID     string `json:"access_key_id"`
    SecretAccessKey string `json:"secret_access_key"`
    SessionToken    string `json:"session_token,omitempty"`
    Region          string `json:"region,omitempty"`
}

No published JSON Schema exists for these shapes in adcp/schemas/ (this is TMP-specific asset-access credential material, not core AdCP), so per docs/sdk-typing-policy.md the issue's proposed shape is authoritative here — I checked the schemas directory and the public spec site before proceeding.

Provider-aware constructors:

func NewGCPServiceAccountAccess(creds GCPServiceAccountCredentials) AssetAccess
func NewAWSServiceAccountAccess(creds AWSServiceAccountCredentials) AssetAccess

AssetAccess.Credentials becomes typed via a discriminated interface, not just for these two providers but with an explicit escape hatch for others:

type ServiceAccountCredentials interface {
    ProviderTag() string // "gcp", "aws", ...
}

GCPServiceAccountCredentials and AWSServiceAccountCredentials implement it. A third type, RawServiceAccountCredentials{Provider string; Fields map[string]any}, is the forward-compat fallback for any provider this SDK doesn't type yet — it round-trips the wire object losslessly instead of failing to decode. AssetAccess.UnmarshalJSON dispatches on the wire "provider" value (decodeServiceAccountCredentials) to pick the concrete type. This mirrors the dispatch-with-fallback pattern Assets.UnmarshalJSON already uses for the asset "type" discriminator (typed struct for known values, UnknownAsset passthrough otherwise) — same shape, applied to the second discriminated field in this file.

NewServiceAccountAccess(provider string, credentials map[string]any) (the pre-existing constructor) is kept as the explicit "I don't have a typed struct for this provider" path — it now wraps its argument in RawServiceAccountCredentials. Prefer the typed constructors for gcp/aws.

Redaction, mirroring AssetAccess's existing String()/GoString() pattern exactly (both delegate to a private redacted() method building Type{Field:val,...,<redacted>}):

• GCPServiceAccountCredentials: redacts PrivateKey; keeps ClientEmail, ProjectID, TokenURI visible.
• AWSServiceAccountCredentials: redacts both SecretAccessKey and SessionToken (a session token is bearer-equivalent — sufficient alone to act as the principal); keeps AccessKeyID, Region visible.
• RawServiceAccountCredentials: redacts the entire field map, since the SDK doesn't know an untyped provider's shape well enough to tell secret fields from non-secret ones.

I did make one deliberate departure from "same pattern": AssetAccess.redacted() itself is a blanket redaction (only Method survives) because at that layer the SDK can't yet distinguish secret vs. non-secret sub-fields generically. For the new typed structs we do have that information per-field, so — per the issue's explicit ask to keep non-secret identifiers "visible for debuggability" — the credential structs redact only the actual secret fields rather than blanket-redacting like AssetAccess does. The mechanism (String/GoString → private redacted() → Type{...,<redacted>} format) is identical; the granularity is finer because more information is available.

Tests (tmproto/artifact_test.go, tmproto/robustness_test.go)

• Round-trip tests for GCP and AWS with realistic (fabricated) credential shapes, including AWS SessionToken (STS temporary credentials are a common real-world shape) — construct via constructor → json.Marshal → exact wire-format assertion (assert.JSONEq) → json.Unmarshal → type-assert the decoded Credentials back to the concrete typed struct → assert.Equal against the original.
• TestAssetAccess_ServiceAccount_UnknownProvider_RawFallback: an unrecognized provider ("azure") still round-trips via RawServiceAccountCredentials instead of erroring.
• Redaction tests for both new structs and for RawServiceAccountCredentials assert the actual secret substring is absent from %s/%v/%+v/%#v output — not just that "some redaction happened" — while separately asserting the non-secret identifiers are present, proving the field-level split actually works both ways.
• Updated the two existing tests that literally constructed AssetAccess{..., Credentials: map[string]any{...}} to use the new typed constructors, since that field's type changed.

Verification

cd tmproto && go build ./... && go vet ./... && golangci-lint run ./... && go test -race -count=1 ./...

All pass, 0 lint issues. Also go build ./... / go vet ./... at repo root (root module doesn't reference AssetAccess, so it's unaffected). Searched the whole repo for other call sites constructing/reading AssetAccess with Method == service_account — none outside tmproto itself.

Honesty notes (acceptance criteria vs. reality)

• Prerequisite check: confirmed AssetAccess already has the sum-type shape (Method/Provider discriminators, existing redacting String()/GoString(), custom MarshalJSON/UnmarshalJSON) this issue assumes — the disclosure-ladder PR (feat: type the full TMP content disclosure ladder #59) it was blocked on is merged.
• Schema check: there is no published JSON Schema for these credential shapes in this repo or (as far as I could find) on the public spec site, so I used the issue's proposed field shape as-is, per docs/sdk-typing-policy.md's "no schema → the issue's sketch is authoritative" fallback. Worth a maintainer sanity-check if a schema exists upstream that I didn't find.
• Breaking change: AssetAccess.Credentials changes type from map[string]any to the ServiceAccountCredentials interface, and NewServiceAccountAccess's behavior changes (now wraps in RawServiceAccountCredentials). This is a genuine breaking API change to public Go types, marked with ! in the commit/PR title per this repo's bump-minor-pre-major: true release-please convention (matches the precedent of PR "feat(tmproto)!: spec-correct HashURL + url_hash artifact-ref support"). No other package in this repo touches AssetAccess, so nothing else needed updating, but any external consumer pinned to tmproto pre-this-change would need to migrate.

Could you take a look at preserving the extra fields in GCP credentials when they are encoded and decoded? I tried the existing NewServiceAccountAccess("gcp", ...) constructor with a synthetic service-account JSON object. After decoding it into AssetAccess and encoding it again, both type: "service_account" and private_key_id were missing.

I also checked with Google's JWTConfigFromJSON parser. It accepted the original JSON but rejected the converted version because type was empty. The fields appear to be lost when the decoder converts every GCP object into the four-field struct.

I understand the struct follows the shape proposed in the issue. My concern is specifically for consumers that pass the full credential JSON to Google's loader; using the typed fields directly may still work. Could we preserve the additional fields, including through the existing map-based constructor, and cover that with a full credential-object round-trip test?

[bokelley]

Fixed in the follow-up commit 9a6220b.

What changed:

GCPServiceAccountCredentials now includes Type (json:"type") and PrivateKeyID (json:"private_key_id") — the two fields google.JWTConfigFromJSON requires that were previously dropped when decodeServiceAccountCredentials unmarshalled the wire object into the typed struct.

Both constructor paths are covered:

• Typed constructor (NewGCPServiceAccountAccess): Type and PrivateKeyID round-trip directly since they're now struct fields.
• Map-based constructor (NewServiceAccountAccess("gcp", map[string]any{...})): the map is emitted verbatim on first marshal; on unmarshal decodeServiceAccountCredentials dispatches on provider="gcp" and the typed struct now picks those fields up, so they're no longer silently discarded.

New test: TestAssetAccess_GCPServiceAccount_FullCredentialRoundTrip covers both paths with a full credential object (including type and private_key_id) and asserts the decoded Credentials equals the original, proving no fields are lost across the cycle. All existing tests continue to pass (go test -race -count=1 ./...).

Medium: Round-trip fidelity regression for real GCP credentials. A production GCP service-account key JSON carries type, private_key_id, client_id, auth_uri, auth_provider_x509_cert_url, client_x509_cert_url, universe_domain — none modeled here. decodeServiceAccountCredentials at L346 does a plain json.Unmarshal into this 4-field struct, so every unmodeled field is silently dropped on decode and gone on re-marshal. The prior map[string]any round-tripped a full SA JSON losslessly; the new typed path does not. Note the asymmetry: unknown providers preserve everything via RawServiceAccountCredentials.Fields, but gcp/aws — the providers you do type — lose data. The four modeled fields are enough to mint a JWT assertion, so auth still works; the loss is type/private_key_id/cert URLs, which some consumers (google.CredentialsFromJSON requires type) need. Recommend an overflow-capture field to preserve unmodeled keys, or document the contract as deliberately lossy. The round-trip tests only feed exactly-modeled fields, so they can't catch this.

Ladon verdict: Approve

Approve — typed per-provider service_account credentials for AssetAccess in tmproto.

Checked:

• Redaction correctness across all format verbs verified.
• Breaking-change conventional-commit marker present for the wire-shape change.
• No schema/generated-type, signing/verification, identity-agent TEE, or protocol-managed skills surfaces touched.

Medium findings

• tmproto/artifact.go — typed gcp/aws decode silently drops unmodeled credential fields, a round-trip fidelity regression versus the prior map[string]any.

Decision path: No critical/high findings. gated_paths is false, so row 2 does not fire. high_risk is true but all reasons are (modified) — row 5 requires a medium finding on a modified high-risk file; the single medium is not categorized as data-loss/schema/infra (round-trip fidelity, category not in {data-loss, schema, infra}), so row 4 does not fire. Row 5: high_risk modified + one medium — this would fire escalate. Re-checking: high_risk true, reason contains (modified), and one medium finding present → row 5 matches → escalate.

[bokelley]

Please address the inline round-trip finding before merge. Typed GCP/AWS decoding must either preserve unmodeled credential fields (including GCP and key metadata) or make the lossy contract explicit and test representative real-world payloads. The issue acceptance criteria call for real-world round trips.
