alt Hacker NewsDo you know if there's a widely shared name for this pattern? I've been collecting examples of it recently - it's a really good idea - but I'm not sure if there's good terminology. "Credential injection" is one option I've seen floating around.

Not sure. I took this idea from the Deno sandboxing docs. They also do the exact same thing, different sandboxing mechanism though (I think Deno has it's own way of sandboxing subprocesses).
simonw, I have been seeing "credential injection" and "credential tokenizing" (a la tokenizer: https://github.com/superfly/tokenizer). I'm also seeing credential "surrogates" mentioned.
I am currently working on a mitm proxy for use with devcontainers to try to implement this pattern, but I'm certainly not the only one!
