This PR establishes a dedicated Tower control-plane client for Storage.

Before this change, the private Tables path relied on the shared legacy _env_client. That client disables TLS verification and is not a suitable foundation for a public Storage SDK. Catalog description, credential vending, and cache fingerprinting could also select different credentials when both JWT and API key were configured.
The new internal StorageClient gives Storage one place to own:

  • Tower URL and target environment
  • JWT-first authentication, with API-key fallback
  • timeout and TLS configuration
  • credential fingerprinting for cache isolation
  • Tower control-plane requests
  • typed authentication and connection errors

Catalog description and credential vending now follow the same Storage-specific authentication and transport policy. HTTPS certificates are verified by default, while an explicitly configured HTTP Tower URL remains available for local development.

This becomes the foundation to have further storage-related amendments

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved storage connectivity with clearer handling for authentication, missing credentials, invalid credentials, and connection failures.
    • Added support for secure, configurable control-plane connections and more reliable catalog access.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Catalog and knowledge commands now display beta notices only once when running interactively.
    • Improved log streaming after an application finishes, including clearer “No new logs available” messaging.
  • Chores

    • Updated the project version to 0.3.72.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release updates storage access to use authenticated control-plane clients, adds storage exceptions and coverage, centralizes persistent beta notices, updates log-stream fixtures, and sets version and CLA metadata for 0.3.72.

Changes

Storage and CLI updates

Layer / File(s)Summary
Authenticated storage client flow
src/tower/_storage.py, src/tower/exceptions.py
StorageClient now validates credentials, configures authenticated HTTP clients, translates connection failures, manages catalog requests, and includes authentication in cache keys.
Storage client validation and lifecycle tests
tests/tower/test_storage.py
Tests cover authentication precedence, URL and transport settings, cache behavior, retries, timeouts, request reuse, and client cleanup.
Persistent beta notices
crates/tower-cmd/src/beta.rs, crates/tower-cmd/src/catalogs.rs, crates/tower-cmd/src/output.rs
Beta callers use BetaFeature::notify_once, which delegates terminal-gated persistence and stderr output to output::notice_once.
Post-completion log fixtures
tests/integration/features/cli_runs.feature, tests/integration/features/steps/mcp_steps.py, tests/integration/templates/logs_after_completion.py, tests/mock-api-server/main.py
Integration fixtures emit logs before and after completion. Mock streams use No new logs available and terminal stream complete warnings.
Release and CLA metadata
.github/cla-allowlist.txt, signatures/version1/cla.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml
The project version is set to 0.3.72. CLA metadata allowlists the release bot and adds an empty signature list.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to df78d

The change centralizes Storage authentication and transport, but the current test suite still references non-existent StorageClient attributes and will raise AttributeError, so the PR is not merge-ready until those assertions are corrected. A beta warning is also suppressed when notice persistence fails and should be fixed or explicitly accepted.

627-631: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Show the notice when persistence fails.

When config::claim_notice returns an error, this function only logs the error and suppresses the notice. A terminal user then receives no beta warning. Log the persistence error, but still call notice_to_stderr so the notice remains visible.

Suggested fix
 Ok(true) => notice_to_stderr(label, msg),
Ok(false) => {}
- Err(err) => debug!("Failed to persist CLI notice {}: {}", id, err),+ Err(err) => {+ debug!("Failed to persist CLI notice {}: {}", id, err);+ notice_to_stderr(label, msg);+ }
