Josh Lehman 8525fd94ea docs: sync Feishu secretref credential matrix
## Summary

- Problem: `src/secrets/target-registry.test.ts` fails on latest `main` because the runtime registry includes Feishu `encryptKey` paths that the docs matrix and surface reference omit.
- Why it matters: the docs/runtime sync guard currently blocks prep and merge work for unrelated PRs, including `#25558`.
- What changed: regenerated the secretref credential matrix and updated the surface reference to include both Feishu `encryptKey` paths.
- What did NOT change (scope boundary): no runtime registry behavior, config semantics, or channel handling changed.

## User-visible / Behavior Changes

None.

## Security Impact (required)

- New permissions/capabilities? `No`

- New/changed network calls? `No`
- Command/tool execution surface changed? `No`
- Data access scope changed? `No`
- If any `Yes`, explain risk + mitigation:

## Repro + Verification

### Environment

- OS: macOS
- Runtime/container: Node.js repo checkout
- Model/provider: N/A
- Integration/channel (if any): Feishu docs/runtime registry sync
- Relevant config (redacted): none

### Steps

1. Check out latest `main` before this change.
2. Run `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config vitest.unit.config.ts src/secrets/target-registry.test.ts`.
3. Apply this docs-only sync change and rerun the same command.

### Expected

- The target registry stays in sync with the generated docs matrix and the test passes.

### Actual

- Before this change, the test failed because `channels.feishu.encryptKey` and `channels.feishu.accounts.*.encryptKey` were missing from the docs artifacts.

## Evidence

Attach at least one:

- [x] Failing test/log before + passing after
- [ ] Trace/log snippets
- [ ] Screenshot/recording
- [ ] Perf numbers (if relevant)

## Human Verification (required)

What you personally verified (not just CI), and how:

- Verified scenarios: confirmed the failure on plain latest `main`, applied only these docs entries in a clean bootstrapped worktree, and reran `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config vitest.unit.config.ts src/secrets/target-registry.test.ts` to green.
- Edge cases checked: verified both top-level Feishu `encryptKey` and account-scoped `encryptKey` paths are present in the matrix and surface reference.
- What you did **not** verify: full repo test suite and CI beyond the targeted regression.

## Review Conversations

- [x] I replied to or resolved every bot review conversation I addressed in this PR.
- [x] I left unresolved only the conversations that still need reviewer or maintainer judgment.

If a bot review conversation is addressed by this PR, resolve that conversation yourself. Do not leave bot review conversation cleanup for maintainers.

## Compatibility / Migration

- Backward compatible? `Yes`
- Config/env changes? `No`
- Migration needed? `No`
- If yes, exact upgrade steps:

## Failure Recovery (if this breaks)

- How to disable/revert this change quickly: revert this commit.
- Files/config to restore: `docs/reference/secretref-user-supplied-credentials-matrix.json` and `docs/reference/secretref-credential-surface.md`
- Known bad symptoms reviewers should watch for: the target-registry docs sync test failing again for missing Feishu `encryptKey` entries.

## Risks and Mitigations

- Risk: the markdown surface reference could drift from the generated matrix again in a later credential-shape change.
  - Mitigation: `src/secrets/target-registry.test.ts` continues to guard docs/runtime sync.

SecretRef Credential Surface

SecretRef credential surface

This page defines the canonical SecretRef credential surface.

Scope intent:

  • In scope: strictly user-supplied credentials that OpenClaw does not mint or rotate.
  • Out of scope: runtime-minted or rotating credentials, OAuth refresh material, and session-like artifacts.

Supported credentials

openclaw.json targets (secrets configure + secrets apply + secrets audit)

  • models.providers.*.apiKey
  • models.providers.*.headers.*
  • skills.entries.*.apiKey

auth-profiles.json targets (secrets configure + secrets apply + secrets audit)

  • profiles.*.keyRef (type: "api_key")
  • profiles.*.tokenRef (type: "token")

Notes:

  • Auth-profile plan targets require agentId.
  • Plan entries target profiles.*.key / profiles.*.token and write sibling refs (keyRef / tokenRef).
  • Auth-profile refs are included in runtime resolution and audit coverage.
  • For SecretRef-managed model providers, generated agents/*/agent/models.json entries persist non-secret markers (not resolved secret values) for apiKey/header surfaces.
  • Marker persistence is source-authoritative: OpenClaw writes markers from the active source config snapshot (pre-resolution), not from resolved runtime secret values.
  • For web search:
    • In explicit provider mode (tools.web.search.provider set), only the selected provider key is active.
    • In auto mode (tools.web.search.provider unset), only the first provider key that resolves by precedence is active.
    • In auto mode, non-selected provider refs are treated as inactive until selected.

Unsupported credentials

Out-of-scope credentials include:

  • commands.ownerDisplaySecret
  • channels.matrix.accessToken
  • channels.matrix.accounts.*.accessToken
  • hooks.token
  • hooks.gmail.pushToken
  • hooks.mappings[].sessionKey
  • auth-profiles.oauth.*
  • discord.threadBindings.*.webhookToken
  • whatsapp.creds.json

Rationale:

  • These credentials are minted, rotated, session-bearing, or OAuth-durable classes that do not fit read-only external SecretRef resolution.
