Structlog provides context variable filtering to prevent accidental logging of sensitive data. Code reviews must verify compliance with this rule.
### Log Sanitization
All external output (subprocess results, API responses, config file contents) passed to structlog **must** be sanitized first using `sanitize_for_logging()` from `app.utils.log_sanitizer`.
This prevents sensitive data — passwords, API keys, tokens, private keys — from leaking into logs.
```python
from app.utils.log_sanitizer import sanitize_for_logging
# ✓ Correct: Sanitize before logging
log.error(
"fail2ban_start_failed",
command=" ".join(start_cmd_parts),
returncode=process.returncode,
stdout=sanitize_for_logging(stdout.decode("utf-8", errors="replace")),
stderr=sanitize_for_logging(stderr.decode("utf-8", errors="replace")),
)
# ✗ Wrong: Raw output may contain secrets
log.error("fail2ban_start_failed", stdout=stdout_raw, stderr=stderr_raw) # Never!
```
`sanitize_for_logging()` redacts the following patterns:
| Pattern | Example match | Replacement |
|---------|---------------|-------------|
| `password=X` | `password=Secret123` | `password=***` |
| `api_key=X` / `api-key=X` | `api_key=key123` | `api_key=***` |
| `token=X` | `token=eyJhbG...` | `token=***` |
| `Authorization: Bearer X` | `Authorization: Bearer tok...` | `Authorization: ***` |
| `secret=X` | `secret=myvalue` | `secret=***` |
| `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` | (key header) | `*** PRIVATE KEY ***` |
| `AKIA...` | `AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE` | `AKIA***` |

### Background Task Correlation
Background tasks (APScheduler jobs) run outside the HTTP request context.
Use :mod:`app.utils.correlation` to propagate correlation IDs through tasks:
```python
from app.utils.correlation import get_correlation_id, reset_correlation_id, set_correlation_id
async def my_background_task(correlation_id: str | None = None) -> None:
# Generate a new ID if not provided (scheduled tasks have no parent request)
if correlation_id is None:
import uuid
correlation_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
# Set the correlation ID for all logs in this task
token = set_correlation_id(correlation_id)
try:
log.info("task_started") # Now includes correlation_id
# ... task logic ...
finally:
reset_correlation_id(token)
# When scheduling, optionally pass the current correlation ID:
# scheduler.add_job(my_background_task, kwargs={"correlation_id": get_correlation_id()})
```
Scheduled tasks (no parent request) generate a fresh UUID for each run.
Tasks triggered by a request inherit the request's correlation ID.
### Event Naming Convention
Use snake_case for event names, prefixed with the component or module name:

### Issue #18: MEDIUM - Configuration Validation Missing at Startup
**Where found**:
- `backend/app/config.py` (lines 37-95)
- `database_path` has no validation
- `fail2ban_socket` not verified to exist
- Hard-coded paths assumed in Docker
**Why this is needed**:
Configuration errors not caught at startup:
- Database path doesn't exist - fails on first DB operation (confusing error)
- fail2ban socket wrong path - only fails when health check runs
- Directory not writable - discovered hours after deployment
**Goal**:
Validate all configuration at startup with clear error messages.
**What to do**:
1. Add validators to config fields:
```python
@field_validator("database_path")
def validate_db_path(cls, v):
path = Path(v)
parent = path.parent
if not parent.exists():
raise ValueError(
f"Database parent directory does not exist: {parent}\n"
f"Create it with: mkdir -p {parent}"
)
if not os.access(parent, os.W_OK):
raise ValueError(
f"Database directory not writable: {parent}\n"
f"Fix with: chmod 755 {parent}"
)
return v
```
2. Validate fail2ban socket exists and is readable
3. Verify session secret is sufficiently long
4. Check environment variables are set
5. Provide actionable error messages
**Possible traps and issues**:
- Validation might be too strict for some deployments
- Need to handle cases where files don't exist yet but will be created
- Docker initialization order might delay file creation
**Docs changes needed**:
- Document required directories and permissions
- Create setup validation troubleshooting guide
**Doc references**:
- DATABASE_API_DEPLOYMENT_ISSUES.md - Issue "5.2 Missing Configuration Validation"

### Issue #19: MEDIUM - Sensitive Data Could Leak in Logs
**Where found**:
- `backend/app/utils/fail2ban_client.py` (line 148) - Logs subprocess output without sanitization
- Could contain passwords, API keys from config files
**Why this is needed**:
If subprocess output contains secrets, logs become security liability and violate compliance requirements.
**Goal**:
Sanitize logs to remove sensitive information patterns.
**What to do**:
1. Create sanitizer function:
```python
def sanitize_for_logging(text: str) -> str:
# Remove passwords
text = re.sub(r'password[=:]\S+', 'password=***', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
# Remove API keys
text = re.sub(r'api[_-]?key[=:]\S+', 'api_key=***', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
# Remove tokens
text = re.sub(r'token[=:]\S+', 'token=***', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
return text
```
2. Apply to all subprocess output and external responses
3. Add to logging middleware
4. Audit existing logs for sensitive data
**Possible traps and issues**:
- Patterns might miss some sensitive data formats
- Over-sanitization might hide helpful debug info
- Performance cost if sanitizing large outputs
**Docs changes needed**:
- Add logging best practices guide
- Document what's sanitized
