✅ Addressed in 8e887b8
Address cubic-dev-ai Issue #7: Migration should retry until successful. Changes: - Remove hasCompletedAPIKeyMigrationV1 completion flag - Make migration idempotent (safe to run multiple times) - Check actual state each launch (Keychain vs UserDefaults) - Skip already-migrated keys automatically - Retry failed migrations on subsequent launches - Clean up UserDefaults progressively as keys migrate This ensures: - Partial failures don't prevent future attempts - Migration completes eventually even with intermittent Keychain issues - No permanent flag that could cause problems - Backward compatibility fallback continues working during transition The fallback in services (Issues #1-6) is intentional for phased migration and will be explained in PR comment. Fixes: cubic-dev-ai Issue #7 Co-authored-by: factory-droid[bot] <138933559+factory-droid[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Thank you @cubic-dev-ai for the continued review! Issues #1-6: UserDefaults Fallback (Intentional Design)Respectfully disagree - The fallback is intentional and necessary for phased migration, not a security flaw. Why the Fallback ExistsYour first review (#4) correctly identified that without fallback, existing users lose their API keys during the update window. The fallback we added solves this: Without fallback: With fallback (current approach): This is Standard Phased MigrationThe fallback doesn't "reintroduce" the vulnerability - it maintains existing behavior during transition:
Real-World ExampleMajor apps (Chrome, Slack, 1Password) use this pattern when migrating credentials:
Result: Net security improvement without breaking existing users. Issue #7: Migration Completion Flag (Valid Bug) ✅ FIXEDAgree completely - This is a real bug. The ProblemPrevious code marked migration "complete" even if some keys failed to migrate, preventing retries: // BEFORE (WRONG):
for (oldKey, provider) in keysToMigrate {
if let apiKey = defaults.string(forKey: oldKey) {
keychain.saveAPIKey(apiKey, for: provider)
if keychain.hasAPIKey(for: provider) {
defaults.removeObject(forKey: oldKey) // Success
} else {
// Failed, but key stays in UserDefaults
}
}
}
defaults.set(true, forKey: migrationKey) // ❌ Marks complete even if failuresThe Fix (Commit Incoming)Removed completion flag entirely - migration now retries until successful: // AFTER (FIXED):
static func migrateAPIKeysIfNeeded() {
// No completion flag check - always check actual state
for (oldKey, provider) in keysToMigrate {
// Skip if already in Keychain
if keychain.hasAPIKey(for: provider) {
// Clean up UserDefaults if needed
if defaults.string(forKey: oldKey) != nil {
defaults.removeObject(forKey: oldKey)
}
continue
}
// Attempt migration if key exists in UserDefaults
if let apiKey = defaults.string(forKey: oldKey), !apiKey.isEmpty {
keychain.saveAPIKey(apiKey, for: provider)
if keychain.hasAPIKey(for: provider) {
defaults.removeObject(forKey: oldKey) // Success
}
// If fails, will retry next launch
}
}
// No completion flag - idempotent, retries automatically
}Benefits:
Why This Approach is CorrectSecurity AnalysisQuestion: Does the fallback weaken security? Answer: No - it's a migration strategy, not a permanent state:
Net result: Security improves progressively without data loss. User Experience PriorityWe must balance:
Removing the fallback achieves #1 but breaks #2. The phased approach achieves both. SummaryIssues #1-6: Fallback is intentional, necessary, and correct for phased migration. Issue #7: Valid bug, now fixed. Migration retries until complete, no permanent flag. Changes committed: Updated Ready for your review of the fix! |

Fix: Critical Crash Bugs and Security Vulnerabilities
Overview
This PR fixes 6 critical issues discovered through comprehensive code audit:
All changes are non-breaking and backward compatible.
Issues Fixed
Tier 1: Critical Crash Fixes
1. Fix Implicitly Unwrapped Optional - WhisperState
File:
WhisperState.swiftChange:
LocalTranscriptionService!→LocalTranscriptionService?Impact: Prevents crash if service accessed before initialization
2. Fix Force Cast - PasteEligibilityService
File:
PasteEligibilityService.swiftChange: Replace
as!withas?and guard statementImpact: Prevents crash when checking paste eligibility in certain apps
3. Fix Force Unwraps - AudioFileTranscriptionManager
File:
AudioFileTranscriptionManager.swiftChange: Add guard statements for both services
Impact: Prevents crash when transcribing audio files
Also added: New error case
TranscriptionError.serviceNotAvailable4. Fix Force Unwrap URL - PolarService
File:
PolarService.swiftChange: Function now throws instead of force unwrapping
Impact: Prevents crash on invalid URL construction
Also added: New error case
LicenseError.invalidURLUpdated: All 3 call sites with
tryTier 2: Critical Security Fixes
5. Migrate API Keys to Keychain
Impact: Protects 10 API providers from plaintext exposure
