Carto now requires an API key for its free raster basemap tiles, which is causing the "API KEY REQUIRED" watermark on Clima's two maps (weather file selector and climate summary).

I made a few changes to adopt the new policy and added the key to Secrets Manager on GCR. Below more details:

  • Added CARTO_API_KEY config, read from the environment (config.py)
  • Added a shared apply_carto_basemap() helper (pages/lib/utils.py) that authenticates Carto's raster tile requests, replacing the old mapbox_style="carto-positron" calls in pages/select.py and pages/lib/charts_summary.py
  • Wired the key into deployment via GCP Secret Manager: cloudbuild.yaml now passes --set-secrets CARTO_API_KEY=carto-api-key:latest to gcloud run deploy, so the key is injected at runtime and never stored in the image, repo, or CI logs
  • Required one-time manual setup (already done): the carto-api-key secret created in Secret Manager, with relevant roles/rights granted to both the Cloud Run runtime service account and the GitHub Actions deploy service accoun

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Maps now use CARTO Positron tiles with a white background.
  • Changes
    • The CBE Clima user survey alert and its delayed display have been removed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The deployment provides a CARTO API key through a secret-backed environment variable. Two map views use a shared helper to configure CARTO raster tiles. The layout no longer includes the delayed survey alert or its interval callback.

Changes

CARTO basemap configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure the CARTO API key
config.py, cloudbuild.yaml
AppConfig.CARTO_API_KEY reads the environment variable and defaults to an empty string. The deployment command maps the latest carto-api-key secret version to that variable.
Apply CARTO tiles to map figures
pages/lib/utils.py, pages/lib/charts_summary.py, pages/select.py
apply_carto_basemap sets a white background and adds CARTO raster tiles with attribution and the configured API key. The summary chart and selection map call the helper.

Survey alert removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove the delayed survey alert
pages/lib/layout.py, pages/lib/global_element_ids.py
The layout no longer renders the survey alert or 12-second interval, and the callback that controlled the alert display is removed. The related element IDs are also removed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c33b7

Both maps omit required OpenStreetMap credit. Add the attribution before release; otherwise the change is mergeable with this bounded compliance issue acknowledged.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c33b7

The maps now expose their CARTO key to browsers by design. This can be appropriate for a restricted public basemap key, but its permissions and usage restrictions have not been established. The observed integration is limited to raster tiles; broader credential misuse is not verified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The newly browser-visible CARTO key can be copied from map configuration. Whether it grants independently reusable authority beyond intended basemap access depends on unavailable provider restrictions; excessive permissions or unrestricted consumption are not verified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A browser receiving either keyed map can recover the configured CARTO credential. The maximum independently attackable scope depends on that key's provider permissions and consumption limits; private datasets, other tenants and broader CARTO authority cannot be inferred from its raster-only application use.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The candidate path is receipt of a map figure, extraction of its key, and attempted use outside the intended application. Extraction is supported by source; successful unauthorized use and consequential impact remain deferred because deployed restrictions and allowed referrers are unavailable. No retained security finding is supplied.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new credential crosses from server runtime configuration into browser-visible content. Its destination is fixed in the helper rather than selected by map metadata. Secret Manager provisioning and raster-only observed use are counterevidence to broader exposure claims, but do not establish provider-side authorization restrictions.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Rotation requires coordination between provider key validity and initialized application processes. Missing configuration yields an empty-key URL, not additional authority. Revocation, interruption and rollback outcomes remain uncertain without production secret and revision evidence.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Treat the browser-visible key as public: establish least-privilege basemap permissions, provider-supported origin restrictions and consumption limits. Document rotation and rollback behavior before revoking keys that older processes or revisions may still use.
