These items address a bug where profile-scoped secret reads that encounter errors incorrectly borrow from os.environ, potentially taking credentials from the default profile in multiplexed environments. The work focuses on ensuring scoped reads close without silently borrowing unintended credentials — a behavior the members describe as failed reads falling back to os.environ.
