phant0umandClaude Opus 5.5 c4171af889 fix(cli): skip POSIX key file mode check in doctor on Windows (#14308)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - `paperclipai doctor` checks the local install, including the local
encrypted secrets key file
> - The check reads the POSIX permission bits of the key file and warns
when group or others can read it
> - On Windows, `fs.statSync().mode` is always `0o666` for a writable
file, and `chmod` cannot restrict it
> - So on Windows the check always warns, and the suggested `chmod 600`
has no effect
> - The server secret provider health check has the same check and the
same false positive
> - This pull request skips the POSIX permission-bit check on `win32` in
both places
> - The benefit is that `doctor` and the secret provider health
endpoints on Windows no longer show a permanent false-positive warning

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #14255

## What Changed

- `cli/src/checks/secrets-check.ts`: skip the key file permission-bit
check when `process.platform === "win32"`. Linux and macOS behavior does
not change.
- `cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts`: add two tests. One test mocks
`process.platform` as `win32` and expects `pass` for a `0o666` key file.
One test pins the POSIX behavior: a `0o644` key file still gives `warn`
(skipped on Windows runners).
- `server/src/secrets/local-encrypted-provider.ts`: the same `win32`
skip in the local encrypted provider health check. This check feeds `GET
/api/companies/{id}/secret-providers/health`, `POST
/api/secret-provider-configs/{id}/health`, and the `validateConfig`
warnings.
- `server/src/__tests__/secret-provider-registry.test.ts`: add a `win32`
test that expects status `ok` with no warnings for a `0o666` key file.
Mark the existing `0o644` warning test `skipIf(win32)`.

## Verification

- `cd cli && npx vitest run src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts`: 10 of 10
tests pass on macOS (Node 22.22.3).
- Red before the fix: with the fix reverted, 1 failed and 9 passed. The
new Windows test fails with `expected 'warn' to be 'pass'`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/secret-provider-registry.test.ts`: 3 of 3 tests pass. Red
before the fix: the new `win32` test failed 2 times with status `warn`.
- Full CLI suite (`cd cli && npx vitest run`): the same 28 tests in
`doctor`, `install-command`, `update-command`, and `worktree` fail on
`master` without this change and with it. My local checkout has no
workspace builds, because I installed with `--ignore-scripts`. This
change adds 2 passing tests and no new failures.
- `cd cli && npx tsc --noEmit`: 233 errors on `master` and 233 with this
change. All errors come from unbuilt workspace packages. No error is in
`cli/src`.
- I did not run the check on a real Windows machine. The Windows test
mocks `process.platform`.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only removes a warning on Windows. On Windows the
old check always fired, so it gave no signal.
- The repo already skips the same kind of check on `win32`:
`server/src/services/decision-signing.ts` returns early in
`assertOwnedByCurrentUser` and `enforceKeyFilePermissions` for its key
file.
- On Windows, `doctor` no longer checks key file access at all. NTFS
ACLs control access there, and the old check could not read them. An ACL
check is out of scope for this fix.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`, Anthropic), in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit). It reproduced the bug with a failing test,
wrote the fix, and drafted this description. A human reviewed the
change.
