Summary

Home Assistant config-flow and setup diagnostics previously logged complete config dictionaries and CLI argument values. Those records can include postcodes, UPRNs, house numbers, private URLs, driver endpoints, or user-supplied names.

This change:

  • redacts household, endpoint, and credential-like keys in config-flow diagnostics
  • removes raw UKBCD argument logging while retaining argument-count diagnostics
  • adds a regression test for redaction and confirms the input object is not mutated

Validation

  • python -m compileall -q custom_components/uk_bin_collection passed
  • python -m black --check ... passed
  • git diff --check passed
  • pytest is blocked on this host because the environment lacks holidays; the Home Assistant pytest plugin also requires POSIX fcntl on Windows

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Privacy and Security
    • Sensitive household, address, credential, and endpoint information is redacted from diagnostic logs.
    • Logs report non-sensitive statuses, counts, and metadata instead of raw configuration or fetched data.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Configuration flow behavior and validation remain unchanged, while log output no longer exposes sensitive values.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage to verify sensitive values are hidden and configuration data remains unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a shared configuration-redaction helper and applies it to integration and configuration-flow logs. Runtime logs report counts, statuses, and non-sensitive metadata instead of raw configuration, arguments, responses, processed data, or bin records.

Changes

Configuration log redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redaction helper and tests
custom_components/uk_bin_collection/const.py, custom_components/uk_bin_collection/tests/test_config_flow.py
SENSITIVE_CONFIG_KEYS and redact_config_data replace sensitive values with "<redacted>" without mutating the source dictionary. Tests cover sensitive and non-sensitive values.
Integration setup and runtime logging
custom_components/uk_bin_collection/__init__.py
Setup logs use redacted configuration. Runtime logs report counts and statuses instead of raw arguments, responses, processed data, and bin records. The unused icon_color_mapping retrieval was removed.
Configuration-flow logging and validation
custom_components/uk_bin_collection/config_flow.py, custom_components/uk_bin_collection/tests/test_config_flow.py
Configuration-flow logs redact input, stored configuration, duplicate-entry names, and Selenium server URLs. Selenium error logs report exception types. Tests cover duplicate-name and URL redaction.

Thanks for flagging these privacy gaps. Commit 0e8dbc3 redacts the duplicate-entry name and configured Selenium URL from diagnostic logs; Selenium error logs retain only the exception class.

Validation: the focused config-flow suite passed (49 tests). Black, compileall, and git diff --check also passed. The suite emitted one RuntimeWarning in the existing test_get_councils_json_failure test.

Home Assistant config-flow and setup logs previously included complete
config dictionaries and CLI argument values at debug/info level -
postcodes, UPRNs, house numbers, private council/Selenium URLs, and
user-supplied names. Those records are often collected for HA
diagnostics and shared outside the local installation.

Adds redact_config_data(), applied everywhere a config dict or
Selenium URL was logged, and drops raw UKBCD argument values from logs
in favour of an argument count. Config-flow behavior is unchanged;
only what reaches the logs is affected.

Thanks for this — good privacy fix, and the test coverage held up even though pytest wasn't runnable on your host. Folded into the next release PR in #2241 with credit. Closing this one out.
