Quilltap 4.0.1 Release Notes

There is a particular species of domestic catastrophe in which a task completes perfectly — the pipes are tightened, the valve reseated, the water running clear — and yet the workman emerges from beneath the sink to announce, with great solemnity, that the operation has failed. This is not incompetence. This is a communication problem. The workman did his job. He simply forgot to check whether he had.

The passphrase change mechanism in the Foundry's encryption system suffered from precisely this affliction. When you changed your encryption passphrase — the phrase that protects the key file wrapping your database encryption — the operation succeeded in every material respect. The key was re-wrapped. The file was written. The new passphrase took effect. And then the API returned an empty report card, and the interface, finding no evidence of success, concluded that failure had occurred.

The fix is one word: success. The API now includes it in its response. The interface now believes it.

What Changed

  • fix: Passphrase change API returned an empty response object without a success field, causing the frontend to display "Failed to change passphrase" even when the change succeeded
