Tom Boucher	9faacc0c15	test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the unbounded-spawn allowlist (#3192) ... * test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the allowlist Migrates the final 170 unbounded sync spawn sites across 49 files, then removes the allowlist entirely. local/no-unbounded-spawn now runs with no exemption surface across tests/**: there is no file to add a name to. drift-detection's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow -- bare runGit would have taken 16 call sites quiet on failure. commands.test.cjs has two independently-scoped runGsdTools/runCli helpers, one already bounded and one not; they are kept distinct rather than unified, the same trap as the two same-named git() helpers in Wave 1. runNpm's bound was erasable. Its options spread callerOptions after the defaults, so an explicit timeout:undefined silently dropped the 180000ms bound -- the rule flagged it and was right; it was not a false positive. Fixed by destructuring with a default, with a test that fails when the default is removed. Two sites stay on a raw spawn with an explicit timeout because the seam cannot express them: one needs shell:true for npm.cmd on Windows, one redirects stdout to a real fd. Both are the rule's own documented second option, not an escape from it. Closure verified rather than asserted: the derivation scan reports 0 unbounded spawn helpers and 0 unbounded direct git call sites, and a temporary file carrying an unbounded spawn still errors with the allowlist gone. Closes #3064. * test(#3148): close a hole in the guard's own eslint-disable ban The ban listed only the top level of tests/, so it was blind to 37 .cjs files under tests/helpers, qa, observability, fixtures and dispatch. With the allowlist deleted this test is the sole remaining way to detect someone silencing the rule inline, so the gap was load-bearing: a nested file could carry an unbounded spawn plus an eslint-disable and pass everything. Proven before and after. A probe planted under tests/helpers with both was invisible to the guard and clean under eslint; after making the listing recursive the guard fails on it. The scanned set goes from 771 files to 808. Pre-existing since the guard shipped, but this wave is what promoted it to sole defense, so it is fixed here rather than filed. Also converts the last hand-rolled throw check to throwIfFailed and the last re-derived legacy shape to compose toLegacyResult, which makes the epic's none-remain claim true rather than nearly true. toLegacyResult itself is not widened -- eight callers depend on its shape and one consumer does not justify changing a shared contract. * fix(#3148): correct seam incoherence at the bound and a slow review-lane error path Two real failures from the remote runner, both fixed at the cause. The seam could return outcome TIMED_OUT together with exitCode 0. At the exact bound spawnSync reports ETIMEDOUT while the child has already exited with a real status, and toSeamResult classified on the error code while passing status straight through -- an incoherent pair its own boundary test was written to catch, and did. A status that is not null is direct evidence the child exited on its own, so it now decides the outcome before the error-code branches run. process-seam.cjs was deliberately untouched by every earlier wave; this is a defect in the module itself, kept surgical, with a unit test that fails against the old logic. review-lane with an unknown subcommand fell through to its usage error only after loading the capability registry and building a per-lane plan, which spawns one child process per lane -- up to twelve. The error path took ~1288ms instead of ~119ms, and under bench load it outran a caller's spawn timeout and was killed before writing anything, which is the empty stdout and stderr CI saw. It now fails fast before any of that work begins. This is the epic's first production change. It is user-facing, so it carries a changeset rather than a no-changelog label. * test(#3148): replace a real-race timeout test with a deterministic one E9 raced git rev-parse against a 1ms bound and assumed git always lost. On a warm container git finishes first, spawnSync returns status 0 with no error at all, the seam correctly classifies EXITED, and gitOrThrow correctly does not throw -- so the test failed on both lanes. A probe confirms a genuine timeout always carries status null, so this was never the seam misbehaving. Raising the bound would only lengthen the odds, which is the same defect with better luck. The test now drives gitOrThrow against a stubbed runGit that returns a synthetic TIMED_OUT result, so it asserts exactly what it always meant to -- that a timeout propagates as a throw -- with no timing dependence. Five consecutive runs are identical where the old one varied. I wrote this test in Wave 0; it is a real-race test by construction and CLAUDE.md says to replace those rather than re-run them. * chore(#3148): backfill changeset PR number 3192 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-07 21:03:50 -04:00
Tom Boucher	8f75e27554	fix(#3045): fail closed when an executor dispatch drops its resolved isolation (#3069) ... * feat(#3045): deny an executor dispatch that drops its isolation flag Every isolation gate already resolved correctly. The resolved value then reached the executor through a prose instruction telling the model to substitute it into a call the model composes itself, and nothing verified the substitution. When it was dropped, the executor edited and committed in the user's primary checkout with no consent and no warning. A prose backstop would be the same class of artifact as the defect, so this is a shipped PreToolUse hook on the Agent tool. It fires at the instant of the call rather than being read once at the top of a workflow, which is the only placement the model cannot skip. The guard is inert unless it can positively establish that this is a GSD project, that the project resolves to harness isolation, and that the dispatch targets an executor. A non-GSD repo has no invariant to enforce. Where it cannot read the configuration at all, it denies rather than assuming, with its own reason -- a guard that cannot verify must not answer safe. A malformed payload allows rather than throwing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(#3045): extend the isolation guard to Cursor Cursor is the second of only two runtimes that resolve harness isolation, so shipping the guard for Claude alone left half the exposed surface unguarded while the changeset implied it was covered. The two runtimes fail differently. On Claude the harness flag is a per-dispatch kwarg the model must copy into a call it composes, and the defect is that it can be dropped. On Cursor the flag is --worktree, which applies to the whole session, and the subagent-start payload carries no isolation field at all. There is no flag to check, so the guard verifies the effective state instead: whether the workspace is genuinely running outside the user's primary checkout. That is a stronger check than the Claude one because it tests reality rather than intent, and it is commented so nobody later rewrites it into a flag check. Isolation is established two ways, either sufficient: the workspace resolves to a linked git worktree, or it sits under the worktree root Cursor manages. The second matters because a directory Cursor placed there is a legitimate isolated session even before it becomes a distinct git worktree, where linkage alone would report no repository. Detecting linkage required a new primitive rather than the existing context resolver. That resolver short-circuits on finding a local .planning directory before it ever compares the git directory to the common one -- and an isolation worktree normally has its own checked-out .planning. Reusing it would have read a correctly isolated session as unisolated and denied it, which is the failure direction that gets a guard switched off. The comparison is now its own shortcut-free function that the resolver delegates to after its own shortcut, so existing behavior is unchanged, and the case that would have broken is pinned. The subagent type is checked before any configuration is read, so an unreadable config cannot deny a dispatch this guard would never have enforced against. The input-schema comment on the Cursor hook documented only the fields common to every event and omitted the ones specific to this one. That omission cost a halt during this work; it now documents both. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3045): enforce the resolved dispatch decision, not the host capability The guard keyed on the registry's dispatch.isolation, which says only that a runtime is CAPABLE of harness worktrees. The decision that actually governs a dispatch is the one the workflow resolves after gating, and that legitimately comes out as sequential in three documented cases: a project setting use_worktrees false, a per-plan submodule intersection, and the base-check auto-degrade. The workflow tells the model to omit the flag in exactly those cases, and the guard was denying every one of them. The third case matters most. The preceding fix made the base-check degrade on git timeouts and a missing git binary, where it had previously answered "safe". That correction is right, and it means a transient hang now degrades to sequential far more often than before -- so the two changes composed into a trap where the workflow behaved exactly as designed and the guard blocked it. The workflow already resolves isolation in shell, deterministically, which is what makes it a trustworthy source in a way the model-authored call is not. It now records that resolved value through a dedicated verb, and both guards read it first. A fresh record is authoritative, so sequential dispatches pass untouched. Absent or stale, the guards fall back to the capability check combined with the project's use_worktrees setting, which still covers the case that never reaches the workflow. Also widened the matcher to accept Task alongside Agent, since a host that names the tool Task would otherwise leave the guard silently inert while implying coverage; stopped assuming Claude when no runtime is declared, which is the shipped default and would have demanded a Claude-only argument elsewhere; and made a non-git project inert rather than denied, since advising a worktree session is not actionable without a repository. The original diagnosis never modeled sequential mode as legitimate. That omission is what let this through, and it is now recorded there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3045): record at resolution and bind the record to its dispatch Two independent reviews converged on the same failure: the guard was fail-open in a default install, so it did not catch the defect it exists to catch. A shipped project carries no runtime key, which made "runtime not confidently known" the common case rather than a corner one. A record asserting that isolation was required but carrying no flag then fell through to a capability lookup that answered "none", and the dispatch was allowed. The flag itself only arrived from a second shell block -- the same block a model dropping the argument would also skip. A test had pinned that behavior as intended. The record is now written by the resolver, as an unavoidable consequence of asking for the value, rather than by a step the model is told in prose to go and run. A guard against a prose-carried value cannot itself depend on prose. Mode, flag and identifiers are written together and atomically, so the flagless window is gone, and a record asserting isolation with no resolvable flag now denies instead of degrading. Runtime is also resolved from the installer's own recorded default, which makes confident resolution the normal case. The per-plan submodule gate degrades after the phase-level decision and never re-recorded, so a plan that legitimately ran sequentially was denied against a still-fresh phase record. It now records its own, scoped to the plan. A record also authorized any dispatch for four hours. One phase degrading to sequential could silently license an unisolated dispatch in the next. Records now carry phase and plan, the guards require them to match, and the window is minutes rather than hours -- the resolver rewrites it before every dispatch, so a long window bought nothing and only widened the hole. The flag validator rejected any value beginning with two dashes, which is exactly the form Cursor and Windsurf declare, so their real value could never have been stored. Writer and reader also derived the record path differently and diverged inside a linked worktree without local planning state. The predictable path remains a way to silence the control without leaving a trace in the diff. It grants no access an agent with shell does not already have, so it is documented as accepted rather than redesigned around. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3045): correct the staleness boundary and unmask a vacuous parity test The remote runner returned twenty failures. One was a real production defect the boundary case existed to catch: a record whose age exactly equalled the staleness window was treated as fresh, so it stayed authoritative for one tick past its own expiry. Freshness is now strictly inside the window. The parity test meant to stop the two guards' executor lists from drifting could never have failed. Its project fixture was a bare directory rather than a repository, so the non-git inert branch answered before the executor list was ever consulted. It asserted agreement it never actually measured. The fixture is now a real repository, like every sibling in the file. A test also asserted that Windsurf declares the worktree flag. It does not -- Windsurf resolves to no isolation by design, having no named concurrent dispatch to isolate. The test claimed a registry fact that was never true, and a comment in the resolver repeated it. Both corrected, and the test now proves what it should have all along: that the parser accepts any bare flag value, rather than one runtime's supposed value. The new guard was missing from the bundled-hook whitelist, which is the surface that decides what actually ships, and the per-plan gate had gained calls to the launcher without the preamble those calls require. The changeset carried parenthetical product descriptions the purity rule forbids.

Node resolves the home directory from USERPROFILE on Windows and never consults HOME, so both silently read the real runner profile, found no recorded runtime, and asserted against a project the hook had not recognised. The production code was already correct in asking the platform rather than the variable; only the tests were wrong to assume one variable answers everywhere. The helpers now mirror the override onto both. The symlink spoofing test also created a directory symlink unconditionally, which needs elevated privileges on Windows. It survived on this runner, but it would fail on any host without them, so the creation is now attempted and the test skips explicitly when it cannot be done -- a bare return would have counted as a pass and hidden the gap. Skipping alone would have left the platform uncovered, so the behaviour it proves is now also driven in-process through an injected realpath, following the seam already used for the clock. That case no longer depends on privileges at all, and the end-to-end test keeps its original assertions wherever symlinks work.
