## Summary

Credential overwrites are stored in memory, if they are set using the REST API, each instance need to receive the same overwrites. In a large scale system, this means tracking which pod has his credentials overwritten already, on restarts these have to be overwritten again. This allows users to configure persistence for credential overwrites, by storing them encrypted in the database and adding synchronization via the event system for loading it from the database.

Review / Merge checklist


Summary by cubic

Adds encrypted persistence and cluster-wide sync for credential overwrites. Overwrites can now be stored in the DB, auto-loaded on startup, and synced across pods via Pub/Sub with a UI refresh. Addresses Linear PAY-3786 and PAY-3761.

  • New Features
    • Add CREDENTIALS_OVERWRITE_PERSISTENCE to enable DB-backed overwrites.
    • Store overwrites encrypted in Settings (key: credentialsOverwrite).
    • Load overwrites on startup from env JSON and/or DB (when enabled).
    • Broadcast sync via Pub/Sub command reload-overwrite-credentials on updates.
    • Auto-refresh UI types after changes.
    • Allow repeated overwrite submissions when the endpoint auth token is set.
    • Guard against concurrent reloads to avoid duplicate work.
    • Initialize in Start/Worker boot paths; comprehensive unit and integration tests included.

Reasoning:
• **GPT-5**: Accurate but low-impact: a single init call exists in both Start and Worker, likely intentional since both boot paths require credential overwrites initialized.

GPT-5: Accurate but low-impact: a single init call exists in both Start and Worker, likely intentional since both boot paths require credential overwrites initialized.

Redundant await in async route wrapper; return the promise from handleOverwrites directly for brevity.

    DEV MODE: This violation would have been filtered out by GPT-5.

Reasoning:
GPT-5: Awaiting inside async Express 5 handler vs returning promise is behaviorally equivalent; style-only, no impact.
