# Security Fix: Removed Hardcoded Secret Keys

## Issue
The test file `lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts` contained a hardcoded Stellar testnet secret key:
```typescript
sourceSecretKey: "SDTIZXLNUEXETRYIBQKYQ7MO3YXRKBPPTRJDZODQHZT57LZ7DBNENRTC"
```

While this is a testnet key with no real value, hardcoding secrets in code is a security anti-pattern that should be avoided.

## Fix Applied

### 1. Updated Test Configuration
Changed from hardcoded values to environment variables:

```typescript
const TEST_CONFIG = {
sourcePublicKey: process.env.TEST_STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY || "GXXXXXXXXX...",
sourceSecretKey: process.env.TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY || "",
destinationPublicKey: process.env.TEST_STELLAR_DESTINATION_KEY || "GXXXXXXXXX...",
amount: "10.0000000",
network: "testnet" as const,
};
```

### 2. Updated Test Logic
Modified Test 7 to skip if secret key is not provided:

```typescript
if (!TEST_CONFIG.sourceSecretKey) {
console.log(" ⚠️ SKIPPED: Set TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY environment variable");
console.log(" 📝 Example: TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY=SXXXXXXX... npx tsx ...");
} else {
// Run submission test
}
```

### 3. Created Supporting Files

**`.env.test.example`** - Template for test environment variables
```bash
TEST_STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY=GXXXXXXXXX...
TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY=SXXXXXXXXX...
TEST_STELLAR_DESTINATION_KEY=GXXXXXXXXX...
NEXT_PUBLIC_STELLAR_NETWORK=testnet
```

**`lib/stellar/__tests__/README.md`** - Comprehensive testing guide with:
- Setup instructions
- Security best practices
- Environment variable documentation
- Troubleshooting guide

### 4. Verified .gitignore
Confirmed that `.env*` is already in `.gitignore`, which will prevent `.env.test` from being committed.

## Usage

Developers can now run tests securely:

```bash
# Option 1: Using .env.test file
cp .env.test.example .env.test
# Edit .env.test with your keys
npx tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts

# Option 2: Export environment variables
export TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="SXXXXXXX..."
npx tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts
```

## Security Benefits

✅ No secrets in version control
✅ Follows security best practices
✅ Easy to rotate keys
✅ Clear documentation for developers
✅ Tests still fully functional

## Files Changed

1. `lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts` - Removed hardcoded secret, added env var support
2. `.env.test.example` - Created template file
3. `lib/stellar/__tests__/README.md` - Created comprehensive guide
4. Verified `.gitignore` includes `.env*`

## Verification

Run the test to verify it works:
```bash
# Without secret key - Test 7 will be skipped
npx tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts

# With secret key - All tests run
TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="SXXXXXXX..." npx tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts
```

---

**Status:** ✅ Security issue resolved
**Impact:** No functionality lost, improved security posture
**Breaking Changes:** None (tests still work, just require env vars)

# Stellar Payment Tests

## Security Notice

⚠️ **NEVER commit secret keys to the repository!**

This test suite uses environment variables to load testnet keys. Even though testnet keys have no real value, it's important to follow security best practices.

## Setup

1. **Get Testnet Accounts**
- Visit [Stellar Laboratory](https://laboratory.stellar.org/#account-creator)
- Generate two keypairs (one for viewer, one for creator)
- Save the public and secret keys securely

2. **Fund Accounts**
- Visit [Friendbot](https://friendbot.stellar.org)
- Fund both accounts with testnet XLM

3. **Set Environment Variables**

**Option A: Using .env.test file (Recommended)**
```bash
# Copy the example file
cp .env.test.example .env.test

# Edit .env.test with your keys
# .env.test is already in .gitignore
```

**Option B: Export directly**
```bash
export TEST_STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY="GXXXXXXX..."
export TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="SXXXXXXX..."
export TEST_STELLAR_DESTINATION_KEY="GXXXXXXX..."
```

4. **Run Tests**
```bash
# Load environment variables and run tests
npx tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts

# Or with dotenv
npx dotenv -e .env.test tsx lib/stellar/__tests__/payments.test.ts
```

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Required |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| `TEST_STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY` | Viewer's public key (sends tips) | Yes |
| `TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY` | Viewer's secret key | For submission test |
| `TEST_STELLAR_DESTINATION_KEY` | Creator's public key (receives tips) | Yes |
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_STELLAR_NETWORK` | Network (testnet/mainnet) | Optional (defaults to testnet) |

## Test Coverage

The test suite covers:

1. ✅ Module exports verification
2. ✅ TypeScript type definitions
3. ✅ Public key validation
4. ✅ XLM amount formatting
5. ✅ Network selection
6. ✅ Transaction building
7. ✅ Transaction submission (requires secret key)
8. ✅ Error handling

## Expected Output

```
🚀 Starting Stellar Payment Utility Tests

✅ Test 1: Module exports
✅ Test 2: TypeScript types defined
✅ Test 3: Public key validation
✅ Test 4: XLM amount formatting
✅ Test 5: Network selection
✅ Test 6: Build tip transaction
✅ Transaction built successfully!
- Operations: 1
- Memo: text - "StreamFi Tip"
- Fee: 100
✅ Test 7: Submit transaction
✅ Transaction submitted successfully!
- Hash: abc123...
- Ledger: 12345

🎉 All tests completed!
```

## Troubleshooting

### Test 7 Skipped
If you see "SKIPPED: Set TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY environment variable", you need to provide the secret key:
```bash
export TEST_STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="SXXXXXXX..."
```

### Account Not Found
Ensure your accounts are funded with Friendbot before running tests.

### Transaction Failed
Check that:
- Source account has sufficient balance (at least 11 XLM for a 10 XLM tip + fees + minimum balance)
- Destination account exists and is funded
- Network is set correctly (testnet)

## Security Best Practices

✅ **DO:**
- Use environment variables for secrets
- Add `.env.test` to `.gitignore`
- Use testnet keys for testing
- Rotate keys if accidentally committed

❌ **DON'T:**
- Hardcode secret keys in code
- Commit `.env.test` to repository
- Use mainnet keys for testing
- Share secret keys in public channels
