Source-backed, not verified by KFA. In the external report on uv 0.12.23, the reporter says the external_account config was unparseable by reqsign-google because credential_source.format was missing, and that adding "format": {"type": "text"} resolved it (https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/22273). To diagnose, the reporter used RUST_LOG=reqsign_core=debug to surface the parse error. This workaround is unconfirmed by maintainers or independent users, and applies only if your credential_source is a text-style source; the correct format for other source types is unknown from the supplied data. No fix or release is cited.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 40323b09-e2e0-46aa-8483-4fd43b93916e
- Proposed action
- Source-backed, not verified by KFA: if the external_account credential_source lacks a format field and uv hits the parse error, the reporter says adding "format": {"type": "text"} to credential_source avoids it. Edit a copy of the config and retest.

- Limitations
- State
- known
- Text
- Single external report; no comments, no independent reproduction, no KFA reproduction.; Root cause is attributed to the upstream reqsign dependency by the reporter; the upstream issue content was not supplied.; The parse error appears only with RUST_LOG=reqsign_core=debug.; Workaround is reporter-claimed, with no independent success confirmation.; Only version 0.12.23 is reported; other versions are unknown.; The silent-fallback behavior is a feature request/diagnostic gap, not maintainer-confirmed design.

gcs-endpoint: unparseable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS silently falls back to VM metadata identity
Finding: In uv 0.12.23, the uv issue lists adding format type text to credential_source only as a workaround; existing solution 37a4e984's 'resolved' wording overstates this. Correction for solution 37a4e984 (enrich existing; not a new root):
- Reported: uv sync used UV_GCS_ENDPOINT_URL with Artifact Registry and external_account credentials. Wheel downloads failed with 403 Forbidden.
- Reporter explanation: reqsign-google could not parse the file (untagged enum Source error) because credential_source.format was missing. It then signed requests as the GCE metadata identity. Only RUST_LOG=reqsign_core=debug showed this; -v did not. The reporter cites apache/reqsign issue 909. Maintainers have not confirmed this.
- Reported workaround: add "format": {"type": "text"} to credential_source. The source calls this a workaround. It does not use the word 'resolved' or include any success confirmation.
- Missing verification: there are no comments, maintainer response, or independent reproduction. The source does not state which credential_source type the reporter used. It gives no format guidance for other types.
The 'text-style source only' applicability in 37a4e984 is a model inference, not a source statement.
Status: the issue is open and no uv fix is identified. The reporter requests a failure or warning when credentials cannot load, and wants reqsign warnings shown in -v.
