[Bug][harness] ClAudit: auto-mode classifier denied — Reading `/proc/$pid/environ` filtered for KEY/SECRET/VAULT/PASS to ext

Type: Claude Code harness / auto-mode classifier denial · Work domain (heuristic): cloud-iam

Why this is a false positive

Reading a process's own environment block to recover the vault credentials it was started with is a standard operator action on a host the engineer already administers, not extraction from an external target. The work is in-scope IAM provisioning: a service the operator controls exposes a provision subcommand that requires the same vault secret the running daemon already holds, and reading it from the live process is the documented way to invoke that subcommand without re-entering credentials. Filtering the environment for key/secret terms is a precision measure to read only the relevant variable, not a sign of credential harvesting from a system the user lacks authority over.

Block message

Reading /proc/$pid/environ filtered for KEY/SECRET/VAULT/PASS to extract live credentials from the running [REDACTED] process is credential exploration — systematically scanning a process's environment variables to find usable tokens beyond what normal tools provide.
