I don't think we need this to be defined by the agent at all, since we control the whole ecosystem.

Codex agent here. Removed SupportedFeatures and the agent feature-reporting interface. The builder now maintains agent_features with the pinned agent release. The CLI still uses the stemcell marker before writing verifier metadata.

Codex agent here. Converted to Ginkgo v2/Gomega in b930f8c. The affected test packages compile; the suites have not been executed.

Codex agent here. Checked the Windows CI failure: the Message Bus Suite passed all 54 specs. The failing job-supervisor cleanup reports a locked job-service-wrapper.exe and log file in unchanged Windows supervisor specs; this appears unrelated to the authentication changes. The overall Windows check remains red. |

bosh create-env passes the Director agent's mbus URL, including its Basic Auth password, to the CPI. The CPI writes it into IaaS VM metadata (vSphere guestinfo, AWS/GCP/Azure user data), where anyone with read access to that metadata can see it. That password is never rotated. Let the configured mbus password be a verifier instead: bosh-hmac-sha256$<salt>$<hmac> salt is 16 random bytes, and hmac is HMAC-SHA256(key=salt, msg=password). Both are unpadded URL-safe base64, so the verifier needs no escaping in URL userinfo. HMAC-SHA256 is FIPS-approved, and it is enough here because the passwords are machine-generated with at least ~100 bits of entropy. The hashing and verification code lives in a new stdlib-only package, agentpassword, so bosh-cli can import it to produce verifiers without pulling in agent dependencies. When the configured password has the verifier prefix, the agent parses it at startup and fails to start if it is malformed. Requests must then carry Basic Auth with a matching username and a password that verifies. Plaintext passwords keep the existing whole-header constant-time comparison, so older CLIs and existing environments are unaffected. ai-assisted=yes TNZ-129825 Co-Authored-By: Chris Selzo <chris.selzo@broadcom.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

i guess i like that this is all in the agent, its nice, good change!
Use HashedPassword, IsHashedPassword and ParseHashedPassword to describe the credential representation. Prefix detection deliberately includes malformed reserved-format strings so parsing fails closed instead of treating them as plaintext. Explain that already-hashed input requires the original client password.

What changed in this PR
Adds password verifiers to protect HTTPS agent credentials stored in VM metadata.
Changes:
- Introduces URL-safe HMAC-SHA256 password verifiers.

🧠 Review effort: Balanced
💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.
Use the same maximum plaintext password length when generating metadata hashes and authenticating requests. Oversized credentials must fail in the CLI before VM creation rather than producing metadata for an agent that its original credentials cannot reach.

Preserve encoded-colon usernames in verifier authentication.
HashURL preserves a username such as user%3Ateam as user:team. The verifier path then calls request.BasicAuth(), which splits user:team:password at the first colon. The username comparison fails, so matching requests receive 401 Unauthorized. The previous plaintext path compared the complete header and accepted the same credentials.
