Propagate the request context through GC table reads. GC getters discard the handler context and call GetTiDBTableValue, which invokes getTableValue(context.TODO(), mysql.TiDBTable, name) before ExecRestrictedSQL. A stalled storage read can therefore continue after request cancellation or the 10-second deadline. Because the handler calls getters synchronously and defers s.Close(), the handler goroutine and session remain retained until the read returns. Pass the request context through this accessor, or apply an independent bound to the read.

What problem does this PR solve?
Issue Number: close #71206
Problem Summary:
NextGen operators cannot inspect global system variables through the status HTTP API without opening a SQL connection. Exposing the existing getters directly would also risk disclosing credentials and sensitive configuration. This PR adds an operator-facing endpoint with explicit sensitive-value masking independent of log-redaction settings.
What changed and how does it work?
GET /variables/globalonly for NextGen, on both SYSTEM-keyspace and tenant-keyspace instances. The response is a JSON map of variable names to string values for the process's current keyspace, not a cross-keyspace aggregation.SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLESscope and no-op-variable selection. Apply SEM v1/v2 visibility directly so the internal session cannot bypass it through SQL privileges. Resolve values through the existing global-variable getter path.SysVar.IsSensitivemetadata and mark 13 built-in variables: six embedding API keys, two LDAP bind passwords,tidb_config,tidb_trace_event,init_connect,init_slave, andvalidate_password.dictionary. Read each value first, then replace non-empty sensitive values with******regardless oftidb_redact_log. Empty values remain empty strings. SQL variable behavior is unchanged.tidb_cloud_storage_uri's existing getter, which callsast.RedactURL, instead of masking the entire URI. This keeps the bucket, path, and non-secret options visible while redacting recognized credential query parameters, just as the SQL getter does. The shared redactor's handling of malformed URLs or unrecognized credential fields is unchanged.Cache-Control: no-store, pass the request context with the existing handler timeout to getters, close the internal session, and return a generic HTTP 500 rather than partial results or underlying error details on getter failure. There are no explicitctx.Err()checks in the handler; cancellation and timeout handling depend on the getters honoring the context.docs/tidb_http_api.md.TiDB-XtoTiDB Xin DDL comments,docs/tidb_http_api.md, andbr/pkg/version/version.go.The endpoint inherits the status port's trusted access controls and does not authenticate SQL users. Status-port access must remain restricted to trusted operators. Custom variable authors must mark secret-bearing variables with
IsSensitive; unannotated extensions are not guaranteed to be masked. Each request reads the eligible variables through existing getters; no load or performance benchmark was run.Check List
Tests
Ready verification profile completed for this change:
Both targeted test commands passed, and Bazel preparation, lint, and whitespace checks completed successfully. The NextGen test failed with HTTP 404 before the initial endpoint implementation and passed afterward. Before the follow-up redaction changes, updated tests also failed as expected for getter invocation, empty sensitive values, cloud-storage URI output, and sensitive-getter errors, then passed after the changes. Failpoints were enabled and cleaned up by the test wrapper. Bazel preparation was completed for the initial API; the follow-up does not change imports, source-file inventory, top-level tests, or build metadata and does not require regeneration.
Coverage includes NextGen availability and classic route absence, response headers, parity with
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES, global-versus-session values, updates, non-GET rejection, all marked built-in secrets under OFF/ON/MARKER log-redaction modes, empty and non-empty sensitive custom values, S3/KS3/OSS/Azure/Azblob URI redaction, no-op visibility, SEM v1/v2 visibility, generic errors from both sensitive and non-sensitive getters without partial results, and request cancellation observed by a getter. No live multi-keyspace TiKV cluster or load testing was performed locally.Side effects
