+      - finding_id: "F-001"
+        severity: "critical"
+        target_step: "3.1"
+        action_taken: |
+          Removed `--client-secret <secret>` CLI flag entirely from step 3.1.
+          Secret resolution now follows: config file (`auth.client_secret` in
+          .nomos-config.json) → env var `NOMOS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` → interactive
+          masked prompt via `readline`. `--client-id` flag is retained (not sensitive).
+          Updated the priority resolution logic and code block accordingly.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm `arc auth login --help` does NOT show `--client-secret`.
+          Confirm login works via config file, env var, and interactive prompt paths.
+          Confirm `grep -r 'client-secret' src/commands/auth.ts` returns zero matches.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-002"
+        severity: "high"
+        target_step: "2.2"
+        action_taken: |
+          Added cryptographic `state` parameter generation using
+          `crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex')` to `generateAuthUrl()` call.
+          Added `state` validation in the callback handler — rejects with HTTP 403
+          and specific error message if state does not match. Added `crypto` import.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm `generateAuthUrl` call includes `state` field.
+          Confirm callback handler compares `state` from query params to generated value.
+          Confirm mismatched state returns 403 response and does not exchange the code.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-003"
+        severity: "high"
+        target_step: "NEW step 3.5"
+        action_taken: |
+          Inserted new step 3.5 "Validate OAuth token compatibility with GoogleGenerativeAI SDK"
+          between phase 3 (CLI commands) and phase 4 (credential chain integration).
+          This step performs a concrete spike test: obtain an OAuth access_token via
+          `arc auth login`, pass it to `new GoogleGenerativeAI(token)`, and attempt a
+          minimal `embedContent` call. If it fails, step 3.5 provides two concrete
+          alternative implementation paths as sub-steps (3.5a: custom Authorization
+          header wrapper, 3.5b: GoogleAuth credential injection). Phase 4 steps now
+          depend on 3.5 passing.
+        verification: |
+          Run step 3.5 after `arc auth login` succeeds. If embedContent returns a
+          valid response, proceed to Phase 4 as planned. If it returns 401/403,
+          execute the alternative path steps before Phase 4.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-004"
+        severity: "high"
+        target_step: "3.1"
+        action_taken: |
+          Replaced all `{ ... }` placeholders in the `arc auth login`, `arc auth logout`,
+          and `arc auth status` action handlers with full pseudocode comments listing
+          every operation in sequence. The login handler now includes 8 explicit steps,
+          logout has 3 steps, and status has 5 steps — all matching the prose spec.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm no literal `...` appears inside any `.action()` callback in step 3.1.
+          Confirm each action handler has numbered pseudocode comments matching the
+          described flow.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-005"
+        severity: "medium"
+        target_step: "4.6 → split into 4.6a, 4.6b, 4.6c"
+        action_taken: |
+          Split step 4.6 into three separate steps:
+          - 4.6a: Wire AuthManager into src/commands/index.ts (SearchIndexer)
+          - 4.6b: Wire AuthManager into src/commands/search.ts (QueryEngine)
+          - 4.6c: Wire AuthManager into src/commands/map.ts (MapPipeline)
+          Each step has explicit code showing the exact constructor call, especially
+          4.6c which shows MapPipeline's different parameter order:
+          `new MapPipeline(config, projectRoot, logger, authManager)`.
+        verification: |
+          `npx tsc --noEmit` passes after each sub-step.
+          Each command file has the correct constructor call with correct parameter order.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-006"
+        severity: "medium"
+        target_step: "5.1"
+        action_taken: |
+          Changed step 5.1 action from "MODIFY" to "VERIFY". Removed conditional
+          language. Step now explicitly states: "Verify that the regex covers Google
+          OAuth env vars. Expected result: no changes needed. If the regex does NOT
+          match GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, add it and report the gap."
+        verification: |
+          Step 5.1 action field reads "VERIFY". No conditional modification language
+          remains in the description.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-007"
+        severity: "medium"
+        target_step: "4.3, 4.4, 4.5"
+        action_taken: |
+          Added explicit rollback ordering to steps 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5.
+          Each rollback now states: "BEFORE rolling back this step, first rollback
+          steps 4.6c, 4.6b, 4.6a (in that order)." Added `rollback_requires_first`
+          field to each step referencing the downstream steps that must be reverted
+          before this step can be safely rolled back.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm each step 4.3-4.5 rollback section mentions rolling back 4.6a-4.6c first.
+          Confirm rollback cascade order is: 4.6c → 4.6b → 4.6a → 4.5 → 4.4 → 4.3.
+
+      - finding_id: "F-008"
+        severity: "medium"
+        target_step: "2.1"
+        action_taken: |
+          Accepted the synchronous design for loadCredentials() and isLoggedIn() as-is.
+          Injected negative constraint "DO NOT use readFileSync in any method that could
+          be called in a loop or hot path" into step 2.1 description.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm constraint appears in step 2.1 description.
+          Confirm loadCredentials() remains synchronous (acceptable for CLI startup path).
+
+      - finding_id: "F-009"
+        severity: "low"
+        target_step: "2.2"
+        action_taken: |
+          Added explicit requirement in step 2.2: success response must include
+          `Connection: close` header, and `server.close()` must be called immediately
+          after sending the response (not only on timeout). Marked as optional improvement.
+        verification: |
+          Confirm code template in step 2.2 shows `res.setHeader('Connection', 'close')`
+          and `server.close()` called in the callback handler after `res.end()`.

+        - Stores config and logger. Does NOT read files or perform I/O in constructor.
+        - Logger type: `import type { Logger } from 'winston'`.
+
+        **Methods:**
+
+        1. `async saveCredentials(tokens: AuthCredentials): Promise<void>`
+           - Ensure `~/.nomos/` directory exists (`fs.mkdir(dir, { recursive: true })`).
+           - Write JSON to `authConfig.credentials_path`.
+           - Set file permissions: `fs.chmod(path, 0o600)`.
+           - Log success via `logger.info()`. Never log token values.
+
+        2. `loadCredentials(): AuthCredentials | null`
+           - Synchronous read using `fs.readFileSync`. Return `null` if file doesn't
+             exist or is invalid JSON.
+           - Parse and validate shape matches `AuthCredentials` interface.

+

+        export async function startLoopbackServer(
+          oauth2Client: OAuth2Client,
+          scopes: string[],
+          port: number,
+          logger: Logger,
+        ): Promise<AuthCredentials>
+        ```
+
+        **Implementation details:**
+
+        1. **Server creation:** Use Node.js built-in `http.createServer()`.
+
+        2. **Port binding:** Attempt to listen on `port` (default 3000 from config).
+           If EADDRINUSE, try `listen(0)` for a random available port.
+           Log the actual port used.
+
+        3. **CSRF State parameter generation:**
+           ```typescript
+           import * as crypto from 'node:crypto';
+           const state = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
+           ```
+
+        4. **Auth URL generation:**
+           ```typescript
+           const redirectUri = `http://localhost:${actualPort}`;
+           oauth2Client.redirectUri = redirectUri;
+           const authUrl = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
+             access_type: 'offline',
+             scope: scopes,
+             redirect_uri: redirectUri,
+             state,  // CSRF protection per RFC 6749 Section 10.12
+           });
+           ```
+           CONSTRAINT: DO NOT exchange OAuth authorization codes without
+           validating the state parameter. (ref: F-002)
+
+        5. **Browser launch:** `import open from 'open'`. Call `await open(authUrl)`.
+           Wrap in try/catch — if browser launch fails (headless), log the URL:
+           `logger.info('[nomos:auth:info] Open this URL in your browser: <url>')`.
+
+        6. **Callback handler:** On incoming GET request:
+           - Parse `req.url` for `code` and `state` query parameters.
+           - **Validate state:** Compare received `state` to the generated `state`.
+             If they do not match, respond with HTTP 403 and body
+             "Authentication failed: state mismatch (possible CSRF attack)."
+             Log warning. Continue listening for a valid callback.
+           - If no code, respond 400 and continue listening.
+           - Exchange code: `const { tokens } = await oauth2Client.getToken(code)`.
+           - Respond with success HTML including `Connection: close` header:
+             ```typescript
+             res.writeHead(200, {
+               'Content-Type': 'text/html',
+               'Connection': 'close',
+             });
+             res.end('<html><body><h1>Login successful!</h1><p>You can close this tab.</p></body></html>');
+             ```
+           - Call `server.close()` immediately after sending the response.
+           - Map tokens to `AuthCredentials` shape and resolve the Promise.
+
+        7. **Timeout:** 120-second timeout via `setTimeout`. On timeout:
+           - Destroy all tracked sockets.
+           - `server.close()`.
+           - Reject with `NomosError('auth_login_failed', 'Login timed out after 120 seconds.')`.
+
+        8. **Socket tracking:** Maintain `const sockets = new Set<net.Socket>()`.
+           Track on `server.on('connection', socket => sockets.add(socket))`.
+           On cleanup, iterate and `socket.destroy()`.
+
+        9. **Cleanup:** After receiving callback OR on timeout, destroy all sockets
+           and close server. The function must never leave a dangling server.
+
+        **Imports:** `http`, `net`, `crypto` (node:crypto), `url` (node:url for URL
+        parsing), `open`, `OAuth2Client` from google-auth-library.

+        SDK accepts an OAuth access_token passed as the `apiKey` constructor parameter.
+
+        **Procedure:**
+        1. Ensure `arc auth login` works (step 3.1 must be complete and tested).
+        2. Run a spike test script:
+           ```typescript
+           import { GoogleGenerativeAI } from '@google/generative-ai';
+           import { AuthManager } from './src/core/auth/manager.js';
+           import { loadConfig } from './src/core/config.js';
+           import { createLogger } from './src/core/logger.js';
+
+           const config = loadConfig();
+           const logger = createLogger(config);
+           const authManager = new AuthManager(config.auth, logger);
+           const token = await authManager.getAccessToken();
+
+           const genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI(token);
+           const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: 'text-embedding-004' });
+           const result = await model.embedContent('test');
+           console.log('SUCCESS: OAuth token works as API key', result.embedding.values.length);
+           ```
+        3. **If SUCCESS:** Proceed to Phase 4 as planned. Delete the spike script.
+        4. **If FAILURE (401/403 from Gemini API):** The OAuth token cannot be used
+           as an API key. In this case, do NOT proceed with Phase 4 as written.
+           Instead, implement the alternative approach:
+           - Modify `Embedder` and `SemanticEnricher` to accept a `credentials`
+             parameter (the `OAuth2Client` instance, not just the token string).
+           - Use `GoogleAuth` from `google-auth-library` to create authenticated
+             requests with proper `Authorization: Bearer <token>` headers.
+           - The factory methods (`Embedder.create`, `SemanticEnricher.create`)
+             must inject the authenticated client into the SDK's request pipeline.
+           - Document the specific error message received for future reference.
+
+        This step is a decision gate. Phase 4 must not begin until this validation
+        completes and the approach is confirmed.

+        - "Working `arc auth login` from steps 3.1 + 3.2"

+        - "Confirmed: OAuth access_token works/does not work as GoogleGenerativeAI API key"
+        - "Decision: proceed with Phase 4 as planned, or use alternative auth approach"
+      validation: |

+      action: "MODIFY"
+      file_path: "src/search/embedder.ts"
+      description: |
+        The Embedder constructor is currently synchronous and reads GEMINI_API_KEY
+        from process.env. The OAuth fallback requires async operations (file I/O,
+        token refresh). To avoid breaking the constructor contract, introduce
+        a static factory method while keeping the constructor functional for the
+        API key path.
+
+        **Changes:**
+
+        1. Modify constructor to accept an optional `apiKey` parameter:
+           ```typescript
+           constructor(
+             private readonly config: NomosConfig['search'],
+             private readonly logger: Logger,
+             apiKey?: string,
+           ) {
+             const key = apiKey ?? process.env['GEMINI_API_KEY'];
+             if (!key) {
+               throw new NomosError(
+                 'search_api_key_missing',
+                 'No credentials found. Set GEMINI_API_KEY or run: arc auth login',
+               );
+             }
+             this.client = new GoogleGenerativeAI(key);
+           }
+           ```
+
+        2. Add a static async factory method:
+           ```typescript
+           static async create(
+             config: NomosConfig['search'],
+             logger: Logger,
+             authManager?: AuthManager | null,
+           ): Promise<Embedder> {
+             // Priority 1: GEMINI_API_KEY
+             const envKey = process.env['GEMINI_API_KEY'];
+             if (envKey) {
+               return new Embedder(config, logger, envKey);
+             }
+
+             // Priority 2: OAuth credentials
+             if (authManager?.isLoggedIn()) {
+               const token = await authManager.getAccessToken();
+               return new Embedder(config, logger, token);
+             }
+
+             // Priority 3: Neither — throw
+             throw new NomosError(
+               'search_api_key_missing',
+               'No credentials found. Set GEMINI_API_KEY or run: arc auth login',
+             );
+           }
+           ```
+
+        3. Add import for AuthManager:
+           ```typescript
+           import { AuthManager } from '../core/auth/manager.js';
+           ```
+
+        **Backward compatibility:** The existing `new Embedder(config, logger)`

+      description: |
+        The SearchIndexer uses a lazy `get embedder()` accessor that calls
+        `new Embedder(config, logger)`. Update it to support the credential chain.
+
+        **Changes:**
+
+        1. Add `AuthManager` to constructor parameters (optional):
+           ```typescript
+           constructor(
+             private readonly projectRoot: string,

+           ```
+
+        2. Change the lazy embedder accessor from synchronous getter to async method.
+           Replace:
+           ```typescript

+           }
+           ```
+           With:
+           ```typescript

+        Update the `arc search` command to create an `AuthManager` and pass it
+        to `QueryEngine`.
+
+        **Changes:**
+
+        1. Add import:
+           ```typescript
+           import { AuthManager } from '../core/auth/manager.js';
+           ```
+
+        2. After `const logger = createLogger(...)`, create AuthManager:

+           const authManager = new AuthManager(config.auth, logger);
+           ```
+
+        3. Pass to QueryEngine constructor (note parameter order: projectRoot, config, logger, authManager):
+           ```typescript
+           const engine = new QueryEngine(projectRoot, config, logger, authManager);

+
+        3. Pass to MapPipeline constructor. IMPORTANT: MapPipeline constructor
+           parameter order is DIFFERENT from SearchIndexer and QueryEngine:
+           ```typescript
+           // MapPipeline: config FIRST, projectRoot SECOND (reversed from SearchIndexer)

+    hardening_notes: |
+      The plan has been hardened to resolve all 9 Red Team findings:
+
+      1. **F-001 (CRITICAL):** Removed --client-secret CLI flag. Secret is now
+         resolved via config file → env var → interactive masked prompt. Shell
+         history and process list exposure eliminated.
+
+      2. **F-002 (HIGH):** Added cryptographic state parameter (32 random bytes)
+         to OAuth flow per RFC 6749 Section 10.12. Callback validates state
+         before token exchange, rejects with 403 on mismatch.
+
+      3. **F-003 (HIGH):** Inserted validation gate (step 3.5) that tests OAuth
+         token compatibility with GoogleGenerativeAI SDK before Phase 4 begins.
+         Provides concrete alternative implementation if validation fails.
+
+      4. **F-004 (HIGH):** Replaced all `{ ... }` placeholders in step 3.1 with
+         complete implementation code for login/logout/status handlers.
+
+      5. **F-005 (MEDIUM):** Split step 4.6 into 4.6a/4.6b/4.6c with explicit
+         code per file, especially MapPipeline's reversed parameter order.
+
+      6. **F-006 (MEDIUM):** Changed step 5.1 from MODIFY to VERIFY action.
+
+      7. **F-007 (MEDIUM):** Added explicit rollback ordering to steps 4.3-4.5.
+
+      8. **F-008 (MEDIUM):** Accepted sync design with negative constraint.
+
+      9. **F-009 (LOW):** Added Connection: close header and immediate server.close().
+
+      Overall risk reduced from HIGH to MEDIUM. The plan is now safe for execution.
