Secure OAuth client secret storage and prevent API exposure

🔒 OAuth Client Secret Security Fix

This PR addresses a critical security vulnerability where OAuth client secrets were being stored as in run config and exposed in export API.

🚨 Security Issue

Problem: OAuth client secrets provided via CLI were being stored as plain text in RunConfig and exposed in export/detail API responses, creating a security vulnerability.

Impact: Sensitive OAuth credentials were visible in API responses, potentially exposing them to unauthorized users.

🛡️ Security Solution

Secure Secret Storage:

• Plain text OAuth client secrets are now automatically converted to secure secret references
• Secrets are stored in the secret manager with unique names based on workload names
• Only CLI format references ("SECRET_NAME,target=oauth_secret") are stored in RunConfig

Centralized Processing:

• All OAuth client secret sources (CLI flags, registry metadata, environment variables) are processed consistently
• Plain text secrets are intercepted and converted to secure references before storage

🛠️ Technical Implementation

New Security Functions:

• processOAuthClientSecret() - Converts plain text secrets to secure references
• generateOAuthClientSecretName() - Creates unique secret names based on workload
• findUniqueSecretName() - Handles secret name conflicts with timestamp resolution
• storeSecretInManager() - Secure secret storage with error handling
• SecretParameter.ToCLIString() - CLI format string conversion

Enhanced Secret Resolution:

• Modified WithSecrets() method to resolve OAuth client secrets during runtime
• Updated runner to ensure secrets are resolved before OAuth authentication flow
• Added validation for both CLI format and plain text secrets

Comprehensive Testing:

• Added unit tests for all utility functions with table-driven test cases
• Tests cover edge cases, error conditions, and security scenarios
• Focused on testable functions with clear test coverage

📊 Files Changed

• cmd/thv/app/run_flags.go - OAuth secret processing and CLI integration
• pkg/api/v1/workload_service.go - API secret handling and conversion
• pkg/runner/config.go - Secret resolution and validation
• pkg/runner/runner.go - Secret resolution integration
• pkg/secrets/types.go - CLI string conversion utilities
• cmd/thv/app/oauth_secret_test.go - Comprehensive unit tests

🔄 Breaking Changes

None - This is a security fix that maintains backward compatibility while improving security posture.

🎯 Security Impact

• Before: OAuth client secrets stored as plain text in RunConfig and exposed in APIs
• After: OAuth client secrets stored as secure references, never exposed in APIs
• Result: Eliminates security vulnerability while maintaining full functionality

🔍 Verification

1. CLI Usage: Plain text secrets are automatically converted to secure references
2. API Responses: No plain text secrets are exposed in export/detail APIs
3. OAuth Flow: Client secrets are properly resolved during authentication
4. Secret Manager: Secrets are stored securely with unique names

🚀 Benefits

• Security: Eliminates OAuth client secret exposure vulnerability
• Consistency: All secret sources handled uniformly
• Reliability: Robust error handling and conflict resolution
• Maintainability: Comprehensive unit tests ensure future security

This PR resolves the OAuth client secret security vulnerability while maintaining full backward compatibility and functionality.
