What changed

  • Kept the one-time API key in interactive CLI output when Rich console encoding fails instead of sending it through the application logger.
  • Tracked clipboard success independently so the CLI only claims the key was copied when copying actually succeeded.
  • Added regression coverage for the combined clipboard and Unicode fallback path.

Why

The previous Unicode fallback logged the newly generated API key in clear text, causing secret material to persist in application logs.

Validation

  • Focused CLI, login, and API-key regression tests passed.
  • Ruff and repository pre-commit checks passed.
  • Verified the patch remained unchanged after rebuilding the branch on the current release base.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved API key display when terminal encoding or clipboard copying fails.
    • API keys are now shown directly in the terminal when needed, without exposing them through logs.
    • Clipboard availability is reported only when copying succeeds.

Write the one-time API key to interactive CLI output instead of the application logger when Rich console encoding fails, so the secret is not persisted in logs. Track clipboard success separately to avoid a false copy claim and cover the fallback with a regression test.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The API key banner now tracks clipboard copy success. Its terminal-encoding fallback prints the key directly, shows clipboard instructions only after a successful copy, and includes regression coverage for failed copying.

Changes

API key banner output

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clipboard-aware terminal fallback
src/backend/base/langflow/__main__.py, src/backend/tests/unit/test_cli.py
The banner tracks successful clipboard copying and uses direct terminal output during Unicode encoding fallback. The regression test verifies that failed copying omits clipboard instructions and prevents the API key from reaching logger calls.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c8e08

The change prevents API keys from being written to application logs and reports clipboard success accurately. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Cover successful clipboard copying during the Unicode fallback.

This test covers only the clipboard_copied = False path. It does not execute the if clipboard_copied branch in src/backend/base/langflow/__main__.py Line 1218-1220. Add a case where pyperclip.copy succeeds and Console.print raises UnicodeEncodeError, then assert that the clipboard instruction is present.

As per coding guidelines, backend test files must cover “positive, negative, edge, and error cases.”
