From bfee415ee34030ae6c8232238b0e5309a70c6c67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Heller <21163552+mdheller@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 20:48:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(cockpit):=20Receipts=20=E2=80=94=20the=20t?= =?UTF-8?q?rust=20surface=20(live=20ledger=20of=20every=20governed=20decis?= =?UTF-8?q?ion)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 5th cockpit surface, and the differentiator Gartner says agentic browsers lack: a live, verifiable ledger of every decision the enforcing bridge made across ALL surfaces. agent-control-bridge.py attests each decision to one evidence stream (reasoning-events.ndjson); this service reads it and unifies browser.* + iot.* + agent.* by event-type prefix. - scripts/bearbrowser-receipts.py: loopback read-only service — GET /receipts (filters: surface/decision/violations/since/limit), /receipts/summary (counts by surface/decision/class + violations), /receipts/stream (SSE live tail), /health. Loopback bind = the security boundary. - scripts/tests/test_receipts.py: real browser+iot decisions + synthetic agent.* → 7 receipts, 3 surfaces unified, 3 violations flagged, 4 permit / 3 deny. Live HTTP smoke verified. - docs/cockpit-receipts.md: design + API + how the client-vue Receipts panel consumes it. Reads only the local stream, serves loopback — no off-device egress. agent.* rows appear automatically once Lane 4 (PR #71) lands (surface derived from the prefix).
