For the Envoy version pinned by this chart, does --log-format-escapedmake%vvalid JSON inside--log-format, or must JSON output use %j?
💡 Result:
No, using --log-format-escaped does not make the %v flag suitable for generating valid JSON logs in Envoy [1][2]. The %v flag outputs the raw log message, which may contain newlines, unescaped quotes, or other characters that violate JSON syntax if placed inside a JSON structure [1][3]. Even when used with --log-format-escaped, which escapes C-style escape sequences (like \n) to ensure a log entry remains on a single line, it does not perform the specific character escaping (such as escaping double quotes) required to produce valid, parseable JSON for arbitrary log messages [4][5]. To output valid JSON, you must use the %j flag [1][2]. The %j flag is specifically designed to output the log message as a JSON-escaped string, conforming to RFC 7159 (now RFC 8259), which ensures that the message content is correctly encoded for inclusion within a JSON object [4][5][6]. If you are configuring your log format via bootstrap configuration, Envoy provides a json_format field specifically for this purpose [1][2]. Official documentation explicitly advises against using %v or %_ within a JSON-formatted log configuration because they may break the JSON structure; instead, %j should be used for the message field [1][2].

Envoy v1.39.1 application logging --log-format-escaped %v %j JSON escaping
💡 Result:
In Envoy v1.39.1, application logging behavior regarding formatting and escaping is handled through specific format flags and command-line options [1][2][3]. The %j format flag is specifically designed to output the log message as a JSON-escaped string, compliant with RFC 7159 [2][4]. This flag was introduced to address the difficulty of generating valid JSON logs when log messages themselves contain quotes or special characters that would otherwise break the JSON structure [5][6]. Regarding the interaction between flags: 1. The --log-format-escaped command-line option is a global flag that enables the sanitization of C-style escape sequences (like \n) across the entire log line to prevent it from spanning multiple lines [2][7]. It operates independently of the %j flag but is often used in conjunction with custom log formats to ensure that log viewers can correctly parse the output [2][3]. 2. The %v flag outputs the raw log message ("some user text") and does not perform JSON escaping [2]. Using %v within a JSON-formatted log string can lead to invalid JSON if the message contains unescaped quotes or newlines [1][5]. 3. When configuring custom JSON logs via bootstrap configuration (using json_format), the use of %v is generally unavailable or restricted because it may break the JSON structure; instead, you should use %j for the message payload to ensure proper escaping [1][8]. Note that the %j flag performs JSON-string escaping on the payload, which includes escaping double quotes [4][9]. If you have nested JSON messages, this behavior may result in escaped internal quotes, which can sometimes cause issues for downstream parsers that expect literal nested JSON structures [9]. In summary, for valid JSON logging in Envoy, utilize the %j flag within your log format to handle character escaping for the message content, and consider the --log-format-escaped flag if you need to sanitize the overall line structure for log viewers [1][2][7].

Use %j for the JSON message field.
Envoy v1.39.1 emits %v without JSON escaping. --log-format-escaped only sanitizes C-style escapes, so quotes in messages can produce malformed JSON and log-field injection (CWE-117). Use "message":%j without surrounding quotes.

Summary
HYPERFLEET-1480
Routes Sentinel and adapter traffic through the gateway's Authorino auth boundary instead of bypassing it as in-cluster-only traffic. Machine traffic through the same boundary as human traffic is the core of the gateway decision (part of the HYPERFLEET-1476 epic): one audit point, no side doors. TokenReview plus an explicit subject allowlist means an unlisted in-cluster ServiceAccount with the correct audience is still denied — the audience alone is not the credential.
