Closes #118.

A delivery target URL is itself a credential — a Slack incoming webhook URL is a bearer token — and three paths still reproduced it in full.

Delivery errors (the one that wrote it to disk)

net/http embeds the request URL in every *url.Error it returns, so any DNS, TLS, timeout or dial failure stored the whole webhook URL in DeliveryResult.Error: on disk, in the per-webhook database, behind a json:"error,omitempty" tag that a REST API would serialize.

maskURL moves to internal/delivery/url_mask.go and is exported as MaskURL (the handlers need it); maskURLError joins it there. It rebuilds the *url.Error with URL replaced by MaskURL(...), keeping Op and the wrapped cause, so the diagnostic survives — the class of failure and the host are still reported, and errors.Is/As/Timeout/Temporary still work through it. Only path, query and userinfo are dropped:

before: sending request: Post "http://host:45897/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:45897: connect: connection refused
after:  sending request: Post "http://host:45897/...": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:45897: connect: connection refused

It is applied where the errors are raised rather than where they are stored: executeHTTPRequest (shared by the Slack and HTTP targets) and the two request-construction paths. Everything downstream is then safe by construction. url.Parse embeds the URL in its error as well, so ValidateTargetURL's parse branch gets the same treatment — that error is both logged and shown.

SSRF log and the event log page

The SSRF rejection warning logs MaskURL(targetURL). loadTargetMap now returns map[string]delivery.TargetView, and EventWithDeliveries.Deliveries is a []DeliveryView (id, status, TargetView), so source_logs.html has no reachable path to a stored config blob. The page renders exactly as before — it uses .Target.Name and .Status.

Tests

TestDeliverSlack_TransportErrorMasksWebhookURL is the load-bearing one: it asserts the stored DeliveryResult.Error contains neither the webhook path nor any single segment of it, while still containing sending request, Post, the masked host and connection refused. Verified to bite — with the mask removed from executeHTTPRequest it fails on all five segments and on the missing masked host:

Error: "sending request: Post \"http://127.0.0.1:45897/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:45897: connect: connection refused" should not contain "/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

Also covers the unparsable-URL paths (Slack attempt and ValidateTargetURL), the HTTP target's transport error, and the rendered event log page.

Verification

make check: green. Docker path with the cache defeated (docker build --no-cache-filter=lint,builder --progress=plain .), run after the rebase onto current next: the lint stage executed make lint (0 issues.) and the builder stage executed make test — every package reports a real duration, none (cached); internal/delivery 11.038s, internal/handlers 9.922s.

A delivery target URL is itself a credential: a Slack incoming
webhook URL is a bearer token. Three paths still reproduced it
in full.

Transport failures were the worst of them. net/http embeds the
request URL in every *url.Error it returns, so any DNS, TLS,
timeout or dial failure wrote the whole webhook URL into
DeliveryResult.Error — on disk, in the per-webhook database,
behind a json tag that a REST API would serialize.

maskURL moves to url_mask.go and is exported as MaskURL, and
maskURLError joins it: it rebuilds the *url.Error with the URL
masked, keeping the operation and the wrapped cause, so a
refused connection still reads differently from a DNS failure
or a timeout and errors.Is/As/Timeout still work. It is applied
where the errors are raised — executeHTTPRequest, shared by the
Slack and HTTP targets, and the request-construction paths — so
downstream wrapping is safe by construction. url.Parse embeds
the URL too, so ValidateTargetURL's parse branch gets the same
treatment; its error is logged and shown.

The SSRF rejection log now records only the masked URL, and
loadTargetMap hands the event log page TargetViews and a
delivery projection instead of raw target rows, so the stored
config blob has no path to that template either.

Slack webhook credential still leaks via delivery errors, SSRF logs, and the source_logs template data #118

PASS — all three leaks in #118 are closed, one masker in the tree, the load-bearing test bites, retry/backoff is unaffected (it keys on attemptResult.success, never on error type), and the mask fails closed on empty/unparseable/userinfo/query/fragment URLs while errors.Is/As/Timeout/Temporary/Op all survive the rebuild.

Disclosures:

CI is not green on b6529f4 — the status is pending / "Waiting to run", created 14:57 and never started. This is not specific to this PR: the base next head 84b758b is equally stuck, and recent main commits (d51cd0f, 4f5ecb1) report "Has been cancelled". The runner appears down repo-wide. I therefore executed the gate myself instead of failing on needs-checks: docker build --no-cache-filter=lint,builder --progress=plain ., exit 0, #21 [lint 8/8] RUN make lint -> 69.93 0 issues. / #21 DONE 70.8s, and #28 [builder 8/10] RUN make test -> #28 DONE 84.4s with every package reporting a real duration and no (cached) marker (internal/delivery 5.435s, internal/handlers 5.357s). The four masking tests are visible as === RUN in that output. Verdict is on that evidence, not on the tracker's status badge.
maskURLError (internal/delivery/url_mask.go:50) uses errors.As, so if the *url.Error is ever not the outermost error the returned value replaces the whole chain and any outer context is dropped. Confirmed by probe. It is documented in the function's own comment and no current call site wraps before masking, so this is a note for future call sites, not a defect.
TestHandleSourceLogs_MasksSlackWebhookURL (internal/handlers/source_logs_test.go:104) does not bite the leak-3 change: templates/source_logs.html renders only .Target.Name and .Status, so its NotContains assertions would also pass against the pre-fix []database.Delivery. Leak 3 is structural and the type change satisfies it; the test's real value is its Contains(tgt.Name) / Contains("delivered") guard proving the page is not blanked, which it does.
