From c43eb261278a3af571803b1b2e3f1fad34382ac0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: clawbot Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 12:17:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Keep unlocker list working when unlocker metadata is corrupt (closes #42) PGPUnlocker.GetID() panicked when its metadata could not be read or parsed, which took down `secret unlocker list` for every unlocker. It now warns with the unlocker's directory and returns `pgp-unknown`; metadata with an empty GPG key ID counts as corrupt too. ListUnlockers now skips, with a warning, an unlocker whose metadata file is unreadable or not JSON, as it already did for a missing one. This is the first half of the issue only. Passing the mnemonic in memory moved to https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/secret/issues/60.
