docs: fix prose and stale content in docs and cli help - #798
Conversation
Reviewed every page under docs/ and the CLI help strings against the code, correcting statements that no longer matched behavior. CLI help text (doc comments, regenerated into fnox.usage.kdl and docs/cli): - `set --provider` described fetching rather than storing - `exec --replace` did not say it rejects file-based secrets and leases - settings help rendered bullet lists as one run-on line - `http_timeout` was described as seconds but parses a duration string - `age_key_file` now points at the provider's `key_file` - reworded `sync --local-file`, `daemon clear`, `lease create`, `export --dry-run`, and the `mcp` summary Incorrect user-facing hints in code: - Bitwarden auth error named FNOX_BW_SESSION_TOKEN, which is never read; the provider reads FNOX_BW_SESSION - FIDO2 and YubiKey setup text used a `--type` flag that does not exist Documentation content errors: - secret resolution order in how-it-works listed defaults last, but the resolver checks provider, then default, then environment - `fnox profiles` and `lease create` sample output did not match the real output format - import examples omitted the required `--provider` flag and the `--force` flag needed when reading stdin - TUI keybindings and detail view described features the TUI does not have - Keychain page required libsecret packages, but the Linux backend is a vendored D-Bus Secret Service client - Infisical quick start used CLI login sessions that fnox never reads - Vault lease reference syntax and several lease default durations - a `fnox provider add aws aws-sm` example the CLI rejects Reference and index pages: - environment.md was missing FNOX_STATE_DIR, FNOX_PROMPT_AUTH, FNOX_NON_INTERACTIVE, and FNOX_HTTP_TIMEOUT, and had wrong defaults for FNOX_CONFIG_DIR and EDITOR - configuration.md documented the `import` key under an `imports` heading - README was missing the fido2, yubikey, foks, and keeper-sm providers - contributing.md replaced generic boilerplate with the real mise tasks - GitHub Actions samples moved from mise-action@v3 to @v4, matching CI Plus grammar, punctuation, casing, duplicated sections, and link labels throughout.

The resolution order list implied fnox falls through to the environment variable after a provider lookup fails. resolve_secret_raw only swallows the provider error when a default is configured; otherwise it returns the error immediately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Inline comments:
In `@crates/fnox-core/src/providers/bitwarden.rs`:
- Around line 125-130: Update the later authentication-error hint in the
Bitwarden provider to mention both supported session variables, BW_SESSION and
FNOX_BW_SESSION, matching the guidance in the missing-token branch. Preserve the
existing authentication-failure behavior and details.
In `@docs/providers/keychain.md`:
- Line 273: Update the keychain provider documentation to reconcile the Linux
headless-CI guidance with the Cons section: state that headless use is supported
only when a Secret Service session is provisioned, or explicitly document this
as an exception to the headless-CI limitation.
In `@docs/reference/environment.md`:
- Line 52: Update the documentation for both directory-variable defaults at the
referenced entries to include the Windows fallback $HOME/AppData/Local/fnox when
the XDG variables are unset, or explicitly label the existing paths as
Unix-specific.
In `@src/commands/exec.rs`:
- Around line 13-14: Update the --replace help text near ExecCommand::run to
state that it is unavailable only when an as_file secret is injected into the
exec environment, while preserving the existing credential-lease restriction and
Unix-only note.
In `@src/commands/sync.rs`:
- Line 42: Update the documentation comment for SyncCommand::run to mention both
supported local override filenames, fnox.local.toml and .fnox.local.toml, while
preserving the existing behavior that prefers the hidden filename when it
exists.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 7 remain after this review.
Review follow-ups, each verified against the code it describes: - `exec --replace` said any as_file secret disables it. The check is `as_file && env_mode().in_exec()`, so a secret kept out of the command's environment does not disable it. - `sync --local-file` named only fnox.local.toml, but the command writes .fnox.local.toml when that file exists or the config is .fnox.toml. - The Bitwarden authentication-failure hint said to set BW_SESSION while the provider also reads FNOX_BW_SESSION, which the missing-token branch already mentions. - FNOX_CONFIG_DIR and FNOX_STATE_DIR documented only their Unix defaults; both fall back to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\fnox on Windows. - The keychain page called headless environments unavailable while its own test section described Linux CI running against gnome-keyring-daemon. What it needs is an unlocked Secret Service on the bus, not a desktop session, so the exception is now stated along with why CI still wants age. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Note
Low Risk
Changes are documentation and help-string only; the small Bitwarden hint fix aligns error text with existing env var handling and does not alter auth logic.
Overview
This PR realigns user-facing text with how fnox actually works today, across generated CLI help (
fnox.usage.kdl,docs/cli/), Rust doc comments in settings and commands, and the broaderdocs/tree.CLI and settings help now describe behavior more accurately:
set --provideris about where secrets are stored,exec --replacenotes rejection whenas_filesecrets or credential leases are involved,http_timeoutis documented as a duration string (not “seconds”), andage_key_filepoints users toward the age provider’skey_file/FNOX_AGE_KEYwhile noting the hidden deprecated flag. Similar wording fixes cover sync--local-file, daemon clear, lease create, export dry-run, and the MCP command summary.Runtime hints match the Bitwarden provider: auth errors reference
FNOX_BW_SESSION(notFNOX_BW_SESSION_TOKEN). FIDO2/YubiKey setup text usesfnox provider add <name> fido2|yubikeyinstead of a nonexistent--typeflag.Documentation corrects substantive mismatches—secret resolution order in how-it-works, import requiring
--providerand stdin--force, TUI keybindings and value display, keychain/Linux Secret Service (not libsecret packages), Infisical auth vsinfisical login, lease/Vault reference syntax and default durations, and sample command output for profiles/leases. README adds missing providers (fido2, yubikey, foks, keeper-sm);environment.mdgains severalFNOX_*variables; contributing docs use realmisetasks; CI examples bump tojdx/mise-action@v4.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bbdadfa.
