# Plan Review — TP-078 Step 1

**Verdict:** APPROVE

## Summary

The Step 1 plan in `STATUS.md` now satisfies the audit requirements for this credential-handling task. It defines a reproducible audit matrix, names the main code and documentation surfaces, includes concrete search commands, classifies runtime fallback paths separately from onboarding writes, and keeps Step 1 bounded to inspection plus `STATUS.md` updates.

This is sufficient to proceed with the audit before implementation.

## What looks good

- The matrix columns are appropriate for turning the audit into the source of truth for Steps 2–4: entrypoint, user-facing flow, whether/how an API key is accepted, current behavior, desired source of truth, and follow-up action.
- The code scope covers setup, config load/write/dotenv/validation/redaction, credential storage, diagnostics, and app/cmd entrypoints. The concrete grep over `internal` and `cmd` also gives coverage beyond the named files if dispatch or logging paths live elsewhere.
- The docs/assets scope now includes web onboarding docs, client docs under `docs/clients/*`, README, config/CLI references, tutorials/troubleshooting, and release/packaging text discovered via `find`.
- The plan correctly distinguishes process environment and legacy JSON/.env support as runtime/power-user fallback paths rather than installer/onboarding write paths unless later steps intentionally change compatibility.
- The no-code-change boundary is clear: Step 1 should only inspect and update `STATUS.md`.

## Non-blocking execution notes

- When filling the matrix, explicitly record diagnostics/redaction exposure for any path that can surface configuration state, even if it is not an onboarding write path. That will make Step 3 test selection easier.
- If the audit finds no separate GUI/basic installer code path beyond docs and generated client configuration instructions, record that explicitly rather than leaving it implicit.
- Keep the desired source of truth aligned with the existing `internal/credstore` service/account naming; do not introduce new credential identifiers during later steps.
