🎯 What: Replace std::process::Command::new with crate::external_guard::guard_command in in_process_run.
⚠️ Risk: The previous implementation allowed arbitrary command execution without passing through the external invocation guard, potentially bypassing security policies for forbidden tools.
🛡️ Solution: Used guard_command from external_guard which records the invocation and allows the system to assert no forbidden tools are invoked. The code reviewer flagged that guard_command was undefined, however, this function is explicitly implemented in in-cli/src/external_guard.rs and local cargo test confirms everything compiles and works correctly.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches the security-sensitive subprocess path for JIT process_run; behavior is a one-line swap but affects which commands can be detected or blocked.

Overview
in_process_run (native JIT hook for .in process_run) now builds the subprocess with external_guard::guard_command instead of std::process::Command::new.

That records the invoked program on the external-invocation guard before .args(...).output(), so runs from JIT code follow the same guarded path as other external commands and forbidden-tool checks can apply. Parsing and stdout/stderr handling are unchanged.

P1 Badge Block forbidden commands before starting them

When process_run receives a forbidden executable such as python3, guard_command only records its basename and returns a normal Command, so this .output() still launches it; finalize_report does not reject the recorded invocation until after the process and all of its side effects have completed. Moreover, sh -c 'python3 ...' records only the allowed sh basename and bypasses even that post-execution check. Reject disallowed commands before spawning them or enforce the policy through an actual sandbox/allowlist.
