From 91d821551b9678618906a8fb8783c3162eff1475 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Vicondoa Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:26:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/57] docs: split AGENTS.md into an index plus docs/contributing ( copilotw0 ) AGENTS.md was 1833 lines / 122,662 bytes and is injected into every agent session on every turn by every harness, so its size is a fixed cost paid before any work begins. It reached that size by accretion: every change appended to it. Split it into a ~35KB index that carries the rules, with the rationale and reference depth one link away under docs/contributing/. The governing rule for the split is that a prohibition never moves, only its rationale does, so "Don'ts" is intact and the critical-subsystems index keeps a row per subsystem naming where it lives and the risk. That table was 27,495 bytes in 30 lines; one cell was 4,367 characters. It is now 23 readable sections. Two structural defects fixed on the way through: "## Development workflow" was an empty heading whose subsections were mis-nested under "## Changelog & Releases", which is why a section nominally about release notes measured 18KB; and the changelog process was documented twice, ~800 lines apart, with separately maintained overlapping content. Three gates needed changing so this is a restructure and not a coverage regression: * scan_process_markers has no default arm, so docs/contributing/* would have been silently unclassified and exempt by accident. It is now listed explicitly in the exempt arm, as a decision. * The retired-surface scan in policy_docs.rs read only AGENTS.md. Moving that prose would have left the test passing while scanning nothing, so it now scans docs/contributing/ with the same patterns. * A byte budget and a link-resolution check were added, because without a ratchet the file simply regrows, and a router with rotted links is worse than the monolith it replaced. Verified no content was lost: every subsystem's prose is present, and no link target was dropped. Two migration guides that only AGENTS.md linked are now indexed in docs/README.md, where consumer docs belong. --- AGENTS.md | 1783 +++-------------- changelog.d/copilot-agent-surface.md | 26 + docs/README.md | 14 + docs/contributing/README.md | 25 + docs/contributing/architecture.md | 152 ++ docs/contributing/changelog-and-commits.md | 295 +++ docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md | 198 ++ docs/contributing/gates-and-lints.md | 287 +++ docs/contributing/panel-review.md | 414 ++++ docs/contributing/workflow.md | 345 ++++ .../d2b-contract-tests/tests/policy_docs.rs | 109 +- tests/tools/tier0-first-pass.sh | 7 +- 12 files changed, 2100 insertions(+), 1555 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/copilot-agent-surface.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/README.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/architecture.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/changelog-and-commits.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/gates-and-lints.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/panel-review.md create mode 100644 docs/contributing/workflow.md diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index fcc61c7ca..57d159c46 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -25,6 +25,35 @@ See [README.md](./README.md) and [`docs/explanation/design.md`](./docs/explanation/design.md) for the full picture and threat model. +## Start here + +This file is the index.

Several `compile_fail` doctests are capability + seals. Do not "simplify" them away. -Before opening an agent-owned PR, run the host/manual integration -targets on the development host; do not rely on the PR pipeline for -them: +Before opening an agent-owned PR, run the host/manual tiers locally; the PR +pipeline does not: ```bash make test-integration # Layer 2 container tests; needs podman -make test-host-integration # runNixOSTest VM checks; NixOS + KVM host +make test-host-integration # runNixOSTest VM checks; NixOS + KVM, x86_64 only ``` -`make test-host-integration` is x86_64-linux only and may fall back to -slow TCG if `/dev/kvm` is absent. Hardware and live-host tests remain -explicit manual tiers and require a host with the matching devices or -deployed d2b state. - -`make test-runtime-ledger` is the hermetic execution-budget Layer-1 job -(also run by `make test-unit` / `make check` through -`tests/layer1-jobs.json`). After a warm build (so compilation is excluded -from measurement), it records per-test wall-clock p95s as advisory -diagnostics and enforces an aggregate process-CPU p95 budget for each pinned -crate. Process CPU excludes time descheduled behind unrelated machine load, -which is why it is the enforced timing basis. The closed census in -`tests/runtime-ledger-census.json` presently pins one crate and exactly 190 -tests; a vanished or extra test, an incomplete or under-repeated run, or an -aggregate crate CPU p95 over budget fails the gate. A per-test diagnostic -threshold breach does not. - -The gate holds no baseline and makes no historical-regression claim. When you -legitimately add, remove or rename a census test, regenerate the pin with -`make runtime-ledger-pin` and commit the result; the pin is a closed set, so -the gate fails until it matches. The `test-runtime-ledger check` output is -authoritative for the exact advisory-report formatting and selection. -Growing the census to a real multi-crate shard inventory (with a per-shard -budget) and adding a cross-machine reference baseline for a true -historical-regression gate is the named deferred follow-up -`runtime-ledger-full-census-and-real-shards`. If its shape here diverges from -the current `Makefile` target or `tests/layer1-jobs.json`, treat those as -authoritative and flag the drift for the integrator. - -### Heavy lanes - -Every Layer-2, host-integration, hardware, live, and perf-heavy command -runs through **one** semaphore, invoked from the repository root as `cargo -run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- heavy-gate`. It grants -two slots per uid via open file description locks so concurrent heavy lanes -cannot oversubscribe the shared Nix store, cargo target directory, or KVM -device. Do not add a second lock file, sleep-and-retry loop, or per-crate -guard. - -The slot namespace is fixed at `/run/d2b-heavy-gates/uid-/`. The root -and per-uid directory are root-owned and non-writable by unprivileged users; -the two `slot-*` files are pre-created for the target uid at mode `0600`. -There is no runtime-directory or temporary-directory fallback. The NixOS -module provisions the root with systemd-tmpfiles, then activation provisions -directories and slots for configured lifecycle users that NSS can resolve. -An unavailable network-backed user is deferred rather than failing -activation; after that user logs in, run `make heavy-gate-provision`. Use -the same target on a host that does not consume the module. Because `/run` -is a tmpfs, run it once per boot when the gate requests it. An absent or -malformed namespace is an environment error with that provisioning -remediation, never permission to create a weaker pool. In particular, -`/run/user/` is rejected because its owner can rename slot names or -their parent and create an independent pool. - -The structure is public-lane-plus-guarded-internal: - -- **Public lane targets** (`make test-integration`, - `make test-host-integration`, `make test-hardware`, `make perf`) acquire - a slot and then delegate to a guarded internal `heavy-lane-*` target. - Run these. -- **Internal `heavy-lane-*` targets** hold the raw work and fail closed - through `heavy-lane-guard` if invoked outside the gate (the gate exports - `D2B_HEAVY_GATE` across its re-exec). Do not run them directly. -- **Convenience wrappers** `make heavy-check`, `make heavy-cargo-test`, - `make heavy-flake-check`, and the `heavy-test-*` aliases run a Layer-1 - gate, the Rust suite, the building flake check, or a public lane under - the same semaphore. - -Run a heavy lane through its public target (or, for an arbitrary command, -`cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- heavy-gate -- -`) whenever another heavy lane might be running; the bare internal -targets stay available only for a serial console. Live-host and hardware -tests obey the same rule: use the gated live-VM smoke entrypoints (`make -pre-tag` for the full gate, `make smoke-lite` for the lite gate) or wrap a -raw live script as `cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask --- heavy-gate -- env D2B_LIVE=1 bash tests/integration/live/.sh`. - -The `cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml` form is deliberate: -there is no root cargo workspace, so the bare `cargo xtask` alias resolves -only when the working directory is `packages/`, and running it from the -repository root fails with `no such command: xtask`. Because cargo config -discovery is cwd-based, invoking `xtask` from the root via `--manifest-path` -silently drops the `sccache` configuration in `packages/.cargo/config.toml`; -that is immaterial for the gate itself. When it matters for a specific -command, `cd packages && cargo xtask ` is the equivalent form - -pick one per command and pass file arguments relative to the directory you -run from. - -Invoking a live script directly is safe but not the documented path: each -one verifies the inherited slot and re-executes itself through the semaphore -exactly once when no genuine slot is held. A bare `D2B_HEAVY_GATE` value is -not trusted, so it cannot bypass the sole-use invariant. -**A new live, hardware, or performance entrypoint must carry that same -self-guard block**, or the fail-closed inventory guard -(`every_live_and_heavy_entrypoint_routes_through_the_gate`) rejects it. - -### Spec-literal lint allowlist - -The ADR 0046 spec-literal lints (`policy_adr046_spec_literals.rs`) enforce -three frozen decisions across `docs/specs/**`: D103 (the single 24-byte -`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZ` datetime spelling), D104 (the single -`.d2bus.org.` ResourceType qualifier infix), and D108 (the integer -`retryAfterMs` retry-delay scalar superseding the old `retryAfter` -duration string). The allowlist is a pinned exact exemption, not an -author-suppressible marker: an inline `d2b-lint-allow` comment is -explicitly **not** honored and will not exempt a line - the lint rejects -that escape hatch by design, because a per-line marker would let any -future author silently suppress a real violation. The **only** exemption -is the decision-register table row that *defines* the rule (the `| |` -row in `docs/specs/ADR-046-decision-register.md`), and that exemption is -pinned to that one file. Everywhere else, including a rejection -illustration, must be phrased so it does not embed the exact rejected -literal; correct the example rather than trying to silence the lint. - -The same policy test checks the seven canonical feasibility measurements -against every Markdown and JSON document under `docs/**` plus `CHANGELOG.md`. -It inventories class-specific measurement signatures globally, including -run and group-commit denominators, the ChangeBatch comparison count, the -crash-boundary count phrase, RSS values with units, and each p95/p99 value -with its unit. Registered sites additionally pin their exact measurement or -qualitative outcome summary. The global scan deliberately does not match bare -numbers such as `13`, `20`, or `48`, because those are common in unrelated -prose. Consequently, a new copy that preserves a canonical number-and-unit, -denominator, or class phrase is rejected even in an unregistered document; a -free paraphrase that omits every inventoried signature remains a review -concern rather than something this lint claims to detect. - -### Envelope policy lint (D116) negative-example marker - -Unlike the spec-literal lints above - which honor no author-suppression -marker at all - the envelope policy lint (`policy_adr046_envelopes`) -recognizes exactly one deliberately narrow exemption. That lint enforces -D116 across `docs/specs/**`: a `Host` or `Guest` whose `allowedDomains` -admits the `user` domain must name a non-null, non-empty `defaultUserRef` -(D116 is frozen in `docs/specs/ADR-046-decision-register.md`). A block that -simply omits it is a real violation and must be corrected. - -The one exception is an **intentional negative example**: a fenced example -(typically a Nix block) authored to *teach* the rule by demonstrating the -eval-time failure that omitting `defaultUserRef` produces. Deleting that -counter-example would lose correct teaching content, so the lint preserves -it - but only under three exact conditions it enforces together, not the -looser "names both `d2b-lint` and `d116`" shape earlier drafts of this -section described: - -- **One exact, case-sensitive marker.** A comment line **inside the fence** - whose text, after its `#` or `//` prefix is stripped, equals the marker - string exactly. The current spelling is `# d2b-lint: expect-d116-eval-error`; - the match is a whole-string, case-sensitive comparison, so a paraphrase or a - comment that merely mentions the `d2b-lint` and `d116` tokens does not - qualify. -- **One pinned file.** The marker is honoured only in the single documenting - file the lint pins (currently `docs/specs/ADR-046-nix-configuration.md`). - The same comment anywhere else exempts nothing and fails closed. -- **Exactly once.** The marker must appear a single time in that file. A - second copy makes the exemption fail closed for the whole file, so every - D116 block there is flagged again. +**Heavy lanes take a slot.** Every Layer-2, host-integration, hardware, live, +and perf-heavy command runs through one semaphore granting two slots per uid. +Run the public targets (`make test-integration`, `make test-host-integration`, +`make test-hardware`, `make perf`), never the internal `heavy-lane-*` targets, +which fail closed outside the gate. Details, provisioning, and the rule that +every new live/hardware/perf entrypoint must carry a self-guard block: +[gates-and-lints.md](./docs/contributing/gates-and-lints.md). -This is an unambiguous authoring signal for one intentional-rejection -example, never a general suppression switch. Never reach for it to silence a -D116 failure on a shape that is meant to be valid - correct the shape -instead. `policy_adr046_envelopes` is the authority for the exact spelling, -the pinned file, and the single-occurrence scope; a concurrent hardening may -tighten them further, so if you are adding a legitimate negative example take -the current requirement from that lint, not from this paragraph. - -For where tests live, when to add or retire each kind of test, and -which pins/ledgers to update, read [`tests/AGENTS.md`](./tests/AGENTS.md). -[`tests/README.md`](./tests/README.md) is the human quick-start for the -same test model. +The runtime ledger, the spec-literal lint allowlist, and the D116 envelope +negative-example marker all have exemption rules that are easy to get wrong. +They are documented in the same file. The short version: the spec-literal +lints honour **no** author-suppression marker, and D116 honours exactly one, +in one pinned file, exactly once. ## Development workflow -## Changelog & Releases - -Every PR that changes code **must** ship release notes. The CI gate -enforces this and accepts either form: an entry in `CHANGELOG.md`, or a -changelog fragment under `changelog.d/`. - -### Format - -[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/). Add entries under -`## [Unreleased]`. When ready to release, rename the section to -`## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD`. - -### Fragments (`changelog.d/`) - -When more than one branch is in flight, do **not** edit `CHANGELOG.md` - -every branch appending to the same `## [Unreleased]` block is a guaranteed -merge conflict. Write one `changelog.d/.md` fragment instead, -holding the same `###
` headings and entries you would have added -to the block. Two branches never write the same file. - -The integrator folds the fragments at merge time with -`make changelog-fold` (`cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p -xtask -- changelog-fold`): entries collate by -section into `## [Unreleased]` in Keep a Changelog order, released -versions are untouched, and the consumed fragments are deleted. A -fragment with an unknown heading, a repeated heading, an empty section, or -content outside a section fails the fold rather than losing the entry. See -[`changelog.d/README.md`](./changelog.d/README.md). - -### Auto-release - -Merging to `v3` with a new version header in `CHANGELOG.md` triggers: -1. Auto-creation of git tag `vX.Y.Z` -2.

One worktree per agent keeps each context isolated and makes -the final merge trivial. - -```bash -# From the primary clone, one worktree per concurrent scope: -git worktree add -b phase- ../d2b- main -``` - -Each agent commits inside its own worktree on its own -`phase-` branch.

When an agent's scope -is done - implementation green, tests green, panel signed off - the -agent merges the worktree branch back into `main` in the **primary -clone (`projects/d2b`)** before declaring the task complete. -Finished work sitting on a side worktree branch is not done; it is -"awaiting integration", which is a state the agent owns, not a state -the agent leaves for the operator. - -Concretely, the agent that owns a worktree: - -1. Verifies green on the worktree (`cargo test --workspace`, the - relevant `tests/*.sh` gates, panel signoff for plan-driven work). -2. From the primary clone (`/home/paydro/projects/d2b`), - fast-forwards (or octopus-merges, per the rules above) the - worktree's `phase-` branch into `main`. -3. If there is unrelated dirty WIP in the primary clone (operator - was editing in place), stash it, do the merge, pop the stash, - resolve any textual conflicts in a way that preserves both sets - of changes, then leave the operator's WIP unstaged so they can - commit it on their own terms. -4. Audits sibling worktrees (`git worktree list`) for branches - whose tip is unmerged but represents abandoned/superseded work; - flag those for the operator rather than silently dropping them. - -Only after the merge lands does the agent call `task_complete`. - -### Stacked PR workflow for large waves - -Large realm/control-plane waves that are not file-disjoint by default land -through a private stacked-PR workflow, not by direct local merges to `main`. -This is the default for ADR-scale work where one branch defines contracts that -later branches consume. - -Use this shape: - -1. Open one private branch/worktree per independently reviewable slice. Branch - names should describe the wave and scope, for example - `realm-workloads-w13-adr`, `realm-workloads-w14-options`, or - `realm-workloads-w17-wlcontrol`. -2. Stack only when necessary. A later branch may target an earlier PR branch - while it consumes new DTOs, schemas, or option contracts. Branches that do - not depend on each other target `main` directly. -3. Open PRs for every slice. Do not merge locally into `main`, and do not push - directly to `main`. The integrator merges only through GitHub PR flow after - local validation, CI, and required panel/review gates pass. -4. PR bodies must list the change, validation evidence, and any substantive - panel/review outcomes. Do not include AI/tool/model attribution. -5. Review and panel agents inspect code, docs, plans, screenshots, and supplied - validation evidence. They must not run tests or long gates unless the - integrator explicitly asks that reviewer to do so. -6. The integrator owns CI babysitting, retargeting, rebasing, conflict - resolution, merge order, and branch deletion. If a lower PR merges, retarget - or rebase dependent PRs promptly and rerun the smallest relevant validation. -7. When a stack updates host inputs, update `/etc/nixos` only after the upstream - PRs are merged and validated. Then switch the host, restart `d2bd`, verify - runtime/desktop behavior, and commit the host lock/config change separately. -8. If helper scripts are added for stack status, retarget/rebase, or - wait-and-merge behavior, they must use `gh`, avoid direct main merges, and - fail closed on dirty worktrees, failed checks, ambiguous merge state, or - missing validation evidence. - -For stacks that require panel gates, the first PR in the stack usually carries -the contract/ADR/plan update. Do not dispatch implementation PRs for later -waves until the plan/ADR panel returns unanimous signoff. - -### Screenshot and visual artifact hygiene - -Screenshots and other visual artifacts submitted as validation evidence or -committed to the repository must be redacted before use: - -- Remove or black out all secrets, credentials, API keys, and tokens visible in - any terminal, browser, or UI window. -- Remove or replace personally identifiable information (PII): real names, email - addresses, employee ids, user ids, and similar identifiers. -- Replace or black out sensitive command output: stack traces with host paths, - raw error messages with internal node names or realm principals, clipboard - content, and any window title or app metadata that names a real person or - organization. -- Use generic placeholder names (e.g., `alice`, `corp-vm`, `work`) matching the - conventions in the Don'ts section above. - -Do **not** commit unredacted screenshots to the repository. Panel and review -agents may inspect screenshots as part of validation evidence; the same -redaction rules apply when attaching screenshots to PR bodies or panel prompts. -If a screenshot cannot be adequately redacted without losing the information -being demonstrated, use a text description or a synthetic reproduction instead. - -### Local host validation after updating d2b - -When a host configuration switches to a new d2b checkout (for -example a local `path:/home/paydro/projects/d2b` input), the host -switch updates `/etc/d2b/*` and the system packages and may restart -`d2bd`. That daemon restart is a continuation event: VMs must stay -running, protected by `KillMode=process`, and the restarted daemon -re-adopts their runner pidfds. Before runtime validation, make sure the -notify-ready daemon is active on the updated generation: - -```bash -sudo systemctl restart d2bd.service -``` - -Then restart affected VMs with the normal lifecycle commands (on this -host, prefer `d2b down --apply` followed by -`d2b up --apply`; `d2b switch ` is not reliable here). - -#### Integrator-prep-first pattern (W3 onwards) - -For waves whose thematic scopes are NOT file-disjoint by default - -W3 host-prepare is the canonical example, with scopes s1-s5 -naturally sharing `packages/d2b-contracts`, `packages/d2b-core` -DTOs, schemas, and `Cargo.toml` workspace pins - the wave is -preceded by an **integrator API/contract prep commit landed -directly on `main`** before any scope worktree is opened. That -prep commit: - -- adds every shared crate, DTO module, broker enum variant, - privileges row, schema regeneration, and `Cargo.toml` - workspace-dep change the parallel scope commits will read; -- carries the canonical trailing tag `( W3 )` (no scope label - inside the parens - scope labels are subject-prefix only, - e.g. `s2 host: reconcile bridge port flags ( W3 )`); -- leaves every scope's owned files untouched so each scope - worktree opens against a stable contract. - -Follow-up rounds use `( W3fu )` for the integrator octopus -merge and `( W3fu H )` for per-finding hardening commits, -matching the W2fu4 H10/H18 canonical-tag rules above. - -The W3 file-ownership map lives in the wave plan -(`~/.copilot/session-state//plan.md` §"W3 file-ownership map" -for the current wave); scope agents read it before opening their -worktree and write only to their listed files. - -### Edit → commit → validate - -Commit before running `static.sh` / the smoke evals. Two reasons: - -1. Untracked files are invisible to `nix flake check` (and to any - eval that follows the same code path). Forgetting to `git add` a - new module is the #1 "why doesn't my change apply?" pitfall. -2. Consumer hosts that vendor d2b tend to ship auto-backup - tooling that catch-all-commits any dirty tree. That's a - consumer-side concern, but the habit of committing-then-building - is the right one to carry into framework work too. - -For plan-driven multi-phase work, green tests are not enough to -advance the work. See [Panel review](#panel-review): the -integrator may not dispatch implementation subagents for a phase, -or begin the next phase, until the relevant panel gate passes. - -### "Existing code is canon" - -When the spec, plan, README, or any reference doc disagrees with the -**code that is actually committed and passing tests**, the code -wins. Document the drift, don't silently re-align the code to the -prose. - -- If you are working in a Copilot CLI session with a `plan.md` - under `~/.copilot/session-state//`, add a row to the - plan's "Spec corrections" table describing the discrepancy and - which side you kept. -- Otherwise, mention the drift in the commit message body - (e.g. `Spec correction: docs/reference/cli-contract.md claimed - exit code 3 for "VM not found"; code returns 2. Kept code.`). - -This rule applies to AGENTS.md too: if you change a load-bearing -behaviour described here, update this file in the same commit. - -### Naming conventions - -The framework declares **exactly three** root-visible units. There -is no `d2b@`-style per-VM unit; `d2bd` supervises every -per-VM DAG in-process and hands fds to spawned runners via the -broker's `SpawnRunner` / `OpenPidfd` ops. - -| Resource | Pattern | -| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| Public daemon (supervisor) | `d2bd.service` | -| Privileged broker socket | `d2b-priv-broker.socket` | -| Privileged broker service | `d2b-priv-broker.service` | -| Lifecycle permission group | `d2b` (singleton) | - -VM names are validated at eval time: - -- Regex: `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`. -- Reserved prefix: `sys-` (only the framework declares `sys-*` VMs). -- Reserved exact name: `launcher`. - -Breaking any of these is a hard assertion in -`nixos-modules/assertions.nix`. - -For the canonical glossary of internal identifiers (DAG node names, -bundle-relative artefact paths, broker op IDs) see -[`docs/reference/naming-conventions.md`](./docs/reference/naming-conventions.md). - -### Component split & sibling flakes - -The **core framework** in this repo covers: graphics, tpm, usbip, -audio, network, the auto-declared net VM, the per-VM store, the -CLI, the manifest contract. - -Anything **identity- or workload-specific** lives in a sibling -flake and is composed per-VM: - -- [`vicondoa/entrablau.nix`][entrablau] - Microsoft Entra ID - joins (Himmelblau + TPM-bound machine credential). - -Optional **desktop companion** pieces also live in sibling flakes: - -- `vicondoa/d2b-toolkit` - shared Rust/Nix client DTOs, public-socket - framing, redaction wrappers, Wayland color parsing, and Waybar helpers for - desktop integrations. -- `vicondoa/d2b-wlterm` - Home Manager module and user-session launcher for - persistent guest shells. -- `vicondoa/weezterm` - WeezTerm package/provider integration used by the - terminal launcher when a d2b-aware terminal build is desired. - -Consumer flakes that combine these pieces keep a single nixpkgs and toolkit -revision by using `inputs.d2b.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"`, -`inputs.d2b-toolkit.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"`, and -`inputs.d2b-wlterm.inputs.d2b-toolkit.follows = "d2b-toolkit"`. WeezTerm -follows only `nixpkgs`; its flake does not expose a toolkit input. The exact -copy-paste boilerplate lives in -[`docs/how-to/configure-desktop-terminal-integration.md`](./docs/how-to/configure-desktop-terminal-integration.md). - -The composition pattern is intentionally one-way: d2b core does not import -identity, workload, or desktop companion flakes. Identity/workload flakes can -stay d2b-agnostic; desktop companions consume only d2b's public CLI/socket -contracts. Consumers compose workload modules on a specific VM: - -```nix -d2b.vms.work.config.imports = [ - inputs.entrablau.nixosModules.default -]; -``` - -If you're tempted to add a new sibling-shaped concern (e.g. a -specific desktop environment, a particular dev-shell flavour) to -the core framework, consider whether it belongs in its own flake -instead. The bar for landing it in core is: "every d2b user -plausibly wants this, and the framework cannot do the right thing -without it." - -[entrablau]: https://github.com/vicondoa/entrablau.nix - -### VM lifecycle (daemon-supervised) - -`d2bd` is the sole supervisor for every per-VM lifecycle DAG. -There are no framework-declared per-VM systemd units: child -processes (cloud-hypervisor, virtiofsd, swtpm, vhost-user-sound, -USBIP attach) are spawned by the broker via `SpawnRunner`, handed -back to `d2bd` over `SCM_RIGHTS` as pidfds, and reconciled -against the persisted DAG state under -`/var/lib/d2b/supervisor/state.json`. - -Stop is provider-aware for local primary VMM runners. Normal -`d2b vm stop` asks Cloud Hypervisor guests to shut down via the CH -API and qemu-media guests via broker-mediated QMP before pidfd signal -cleanup. `--force` is an explicit operator override that skips only -that graceful guest wait and then uses the standard SIGTERM/SIGKILL -cleanup path. `d2b.daemon.lifecycle.gracefulShutdown.*` and -`d2b.vms..lifecycle.gracefulShutdown.*` configure the bounded -wait; disabled VMs bypass the graceful phase without being marked -degraded. - -The restart policy applies differently to the two daemon units (no -per-VM units are emitted): - -- `d2bd.service` is `Type=notify` and may restart on switch/update. - Systemd does not report it ready until the public socket is bound and - the daemon has completed startup/adoption. `KillMode=process` ensures a - daemon restart kills only the daemon main PID, not VM runner - descendants; the restarted daemon re-adopts existing runners. The - existing guarded `ExecStop` host-shutdown hook remains the all-VM - teardown path and runs only when the system manager is stopping. -- `d2b-priv-broker.service` is socket-activated. It reloads the - current bundle resolver for each accepted request so a running broker - does not dispatch stale runner intents after a switch, and it never - holds in-flight session state across requests. - -Drift detection moves from per-VM symlinks into the daemon's -state file. `d2b vm list` flags any VM where the running -closure differs from the latest declared closure with -`[pending restart]`; `d2b vm status ` prints both store -paths and the exact remediation command (`d2b vm restart ` -for a clean down+up, `d2b vm switch ` for a per-VM closure -rebuild + live activation). - -#### Adding new per-VM behaviour - -New per-VM work belongs **inside the daemon's DAG executor** -(`packages/d2bd/src/supervisor/`), with any privileged side -effects routed through a typed `d2b-priv-broker` op declared -in `packages/d2b-contracts/` and audited in -`/var/lib/d2b/audit/broker-.jsonl`. Do not introduce -a new `systemd.services.*` declaration in `nixos-modules/` for -per-VM work. The denylist coverage lives in -`packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/policy_units.rs`; run the enabled -fixture-contract lane when changing this surface. See -[`docs/explanation/daemon-lifecycle.md`](./docs/explanation/daemon-lifecycle.md) -for the DAG node taxonomy and -[`docs/reference/privileges.md`](./docs/reference/privileges.md) for -the broker op catalogue. - -Adding or reclassifying a spawned runner `ProcessRole` also requires -matching process-builder and runner-matrix coverage: add/extend the -typed Rust argv builder in `packages/d2b-host/src/*_argv.rs` and -the role coverage policy/contract tests under -`packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/` in the same change. +Detail in [workflow.md](./docs/contributing/workflow.md). The binding rules: + +- **`main` and `v3` are protected.** Changes land via PR, never direct push. + `v3` is the clean-break integration lineage and never merges to `main`. +- **One logical change per commit.** Mechanical reformats or renames go in + their own commit. +- **Use worktrees for parallel scopes**, one per agent or concurrent scope. + When your scope is done and green, merge it back to the primary clone + yourself; finished work on a side branch is not done, it is awaiting + integration, and that is a state you own. +- **Concurrent slices share one worktree, so destructive git is banned.** + Never run `git checkout --` or `git restore` on a path your slice does not + own: uncommitted work has no reflog entry, so that is an unrecoverable + delete of a sibling's work.

The integrator MUST NOT begin the next phase until every -reviewer on the selected roster returns `signoff: true` (N/N for the -plan's panel size; the default roster below is 10). - -For plan-driven work, a "phase" is usually one wave from the plan's -parallelization graph (`Wave 0`, `Wave 1`, ...). For tiny plans that -touch fewer than three files, a single phase covering the whole plan is -acceptable. - -For each phase: - -1. **Plan review** - panel reviews the plan; iterate until N/N - sign-off. The integrator may not dispatch implementation subagents - until this gate passes. -2. **Implementation** - dispatch subagents in parallel per the - dependency graph. -3. **Integration** - integrator merges subagent output. -4. **Work review** - panel reviews the integrated diff; iterate via - fix-subagents until N/N sign-off. -5. **Advance** - only now may the integrator begin the next phase's - plan review. - -Panel prompts MUST include the validation evidence the integrator already -ran for the phase (commands and pass/fail results) and MUST instruct -reviewers not to rerun tests, builds, evals, or other long validations -unless the integrator explicitly requests that reviewer to do so. -Reviewers should inspect the plan or diff, reason over the supplied -evidence, and call out missing or insufficient validation as a finding -rather than duplicating the validation themselves. This keeps panel -review from stampeding the shared Nix store, cargo target, and git -worktrees while parallel implementation agents are still active. - -A panel round after the first is a **delta review**, and its prompt MUST -carry two explicit ranges rather than only the full branch diff: - -- `git diff ..HEAD` - the delta, - which is what the reviewer actually reviews. It is the only thing that - can have introduced a new defect or failed to close an old one. -- `git diff ..HEAD` - the full branch, for context when the delta - touches something whose correctness depends on code outside it. - -The integrator therefore MUST record the tip commit each round reviewed, so -the next round can be scoped against it. A prose summary of what changed is -a statement of intent, not evidence: prompts MUST instruct reviewers to read -the delta themselves rather than trust the summary, because a fix that -silently touched something the summary omits is exactly what a delta review -exists to catch. Prompts MUST also instruct reviewers to verify their own -prior findings against the tree by inspection rather than marking them -closed because the prompt says they were fixed. - -Where the integrator disputes a finding, the prompt MUST state the rebuttal -and its evidence and ask the reviewer to judge it on the merits - explicitly -permitting withdrawal of an incorrect finding, and explicitly not requiring -it. An unfounded finding drives a wrong change into the tree, so sustaining -one to save face is worse than admitting the error; equally, a reviewer must -not withdraw a valid finding merely because the integrator pushed back. - -Any content change to the reviewed tree invalidates every prior sign-off in -that phase, including sign-offs from reviewers whose focus the change did -not touch. Those reviewers still re-report, but their prompt should scope -them to the delta and permit a short confirmation that their area is -unaffected. - -Each engineer returns a JSON sign-off record shaped like: - -```json -{ - "engineer": "software", - "signoff": true, - "summary": "What was reviewed and the overall posture.", - "recommendations": [] -} -``` - -By policy, `signoff` is `true` iff `recommendations` is `[]`. -Otherwise, `recommendations[]` carries the actionable findings. If any -reviewer returns findings, the integrator spawns follow-up -implementation agents, lands the fixes, reruns the tests, and starts -another panel round. Green tests do not waive this gate; a phase closes -only on unanimous sign-off. - -### Fix rounds are scoped to the findings - -A fix round MUST address the findings the panel actually raised, and -nothing else. Do not take a finding as licence to harden the surrounding -area, add coverage the panel did not ask for, or fix an unrelated defect -noticed in passing. File those separately. - -This rule exists because the alternative does not converge. Every -unrequested change is new content, new content invalidates the round's -evidence, and the next round reviews a larger diff that offers more to -find - so the gate recedes while the actual deliverable sits finished and -unmerged. The observed failure mode is a phase gate whose findings drift -from "the specification contradicts the shipped code" to progressively -more peripheral tooling nits, several rounds after the deliverable was -ready. - -Two consequences worth stating outright: - -- A genuine defect discovered while fixing something else is still out of - scope for that fix round. Record it and land it separately, so the - round's diff stays reviewable against the findings it answers. -- An integrator MUST NOT run `git add -A` while a build, test, or gate is - running. Those write scratch directories into the worktree, and a - catch-all add commits them. Stage the specific paths the fix touched. - The gitignore is a backstop, not the control - it can only cover - scratch patterns someone already thought of. - -Panel prompts SHOULD state the phase's deliverable and instruct reviewers -to confine findings to defects in the delta that would cause incorrect -behaviour or mask a regression, rather than proposing speculative -robustness work. A reviewer who wants additional hardening should say so -as an observation in the summary, not as a blocking recommendation. - -Escape hatches are narrow: - -- **Swarm-driven work** satisfies the per-round gate with swarm's - five-seat phase council instead of a ten-role panel round. See - [Running the panel under swarm](#running-the-panel-under-swarm). The - substitution covers only the per-round gate; the binding wave panel is - untouched. -- **Trivial fixes** (typo, one-line, no semantic change) may skip the - panel gate. -- **Time-critical hotfixes** (production breakage) may skip the - pre-fix panel, but MUST run a post-fix panel before the incident is - considered closed. -- **Documentation-only changes** may skip the panel gate unless the doc - change describes a load-bearing behavior. - -Autopilot prompts encourage "bias to action." That is in tension with -the panel gate. When in doubt, run the panel. A two-hour panel that -catches one HIGH finding is cheaper than re-doing two days of -integration. - -Canonical precedent: an early observability Wave-1 panel returned -0/8 sign-offs with 11 HIGH findings. `tests/static.sh` caught none of -them. This is the canonical "you can't test your way out of needing a -panel" data point. - -### Concurrent slices share one worktree, so destructive git is banned - -Parallel slices in a wave write to the same checkout. A slice therefore -sees uncommitted files it does not own, and MUST treat them as read-only -evidence rather than as its own stray edits. - -Two commands are prohibited inside a slice: - -- `git checkout -- ` and `git restore ` on any path the slice - does not own. Uncommitted work has no reflog entry and no dangling blob, - so this is an unrecoverable delete of a sibling's work. If a slice - believes it dirtied a file it does not own, it MUST report that rather - than revert it. -- A package-wide or workspace-wide formatter. `cargo fmt -p ` - reformats every file in the package, not the slice's file, which makes - the slice's diff look like it touched files it never opened - and that - false signal is what motivates the revert above. Format the single file - instead. - -The integrator MUST commit each slice's output as it lands rather than -accumulating several slices' work uncommitted, so a mistake costs one -`git checkout` of committed content instead of a rewrite. Where work is -already lost, check the rebase autostash before concluding it is gone: a -rebase run during the wave captures the whole dirty tree, and that has -already recovered one slice's uncommitted output in this program. - -### Default panel - -| Engineer | Focus | -|-------------------|-------| -| `software` | Shell + Nix shape of every new module, daemon instrumentation, idempotency of sidecars, error handling in metric exporters. | -| `test` | Coverage of new option schema, vsock CID collision cases, restart-policy gates, manifest schema drift, and what could regress invisibly. | -| `nixos` | Module wiring, `lib.mkForce` / `lib.mkDefault` correctness, option declarations, systemd unit composition, and activation ordering. | -| `networking` | Network surface changes, firewall posture across envs, DHCP/DNS regressions, bridge isolation, and routing invariants. | -| `security` | Attack surface, host-relay trust posture, capability sets / syscall filters, authz boundaries, telemetry-label PII review, and retention defaults. | -| `rust` | Rust API shape, error propagation, unsafe/FFI boundaries, schema generation, workspace dependency direction, and testability. | -| `product` | Operator UX, naming surface, migration/deprecation policy, default-off opt-in shape, and actionable error messages. | -| `docs` | Diataxis adherence in `docs/{reference,how-to,explanation}/`, CHANGELOG entries, schema md↔json drift, and AGENTS.md updates landing with load-bearing changes. | -| `observability` | Cardinality of metric labels, span attribute hygiene (no secrets/cmd output/store paths), log/audit shape, retention, and dashboard/exporter correctness. | -| `kernel` | pidfd, cgroup, namespace, mount, signal, ioctl, and filesystem semantics; kernel-version assumptions and Linux API edge cases. | - -Older commits and [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) entries may reference -the historical six-engineer security-hardening roster (`nixos`, `rust`, -`software`, `test`, `networking`, `security`) or the earlier -observability-specific roster. The unified default panel above -supersedes both for new work. - -Host-local roster files under `/etc/nixos/scripts/` are operator -configuration and are out of scope for this repository; keep repo docs -focused on the review contract rather than paydro-specific files. - -### Running the panel under swarm - -There are three review surfaces in this repository and they are strictly -ranked. Read this ordering before wiring any harness. - -1. **The binding ten-role panel** - `cargo run --manifest-path - packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- delivery wave panel-request` / - `panel-attest` / `seal`. This is the authority for an ADR 0046 wave. - It runs **once, at wave close**, against the wave's one immutable - snapshot, and it is enforced in code by - `packages/xtask/src/delivery/panel.rs`: exactly one record per role - for all ten roles, `signoff` true iff `recommendations` is `[]`, - unanimous ten of ten, every record bound to the same - `candidate_id`/`content_id`/`snapshot_sha256`, and provider/model/ - reasoning effort pinned to `github-copilot` / - `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` / `high`. The panel model is deliberately - not the coding model, so a lane cannot both author a change and - attest to it. There is no override, no force flag, and no partial - pass. - See [`docs/specs/ADR-046-validation-and-delivery.md`](./docs/specs/ADR-046-validation-and-delivery.md) - section 12.3. -2. **The per-round phase panel** - the [Phase gate](#phase-gate) rule - above. Where ADR 0046 restricts the *binding* panel to one per wave, - this rule allows a panel per implementation round. This is the loop - swarm automates. -3. **Swarm's five-seat phase council** - the per-round gate whenever - swarm drives the work. It stands in for surface 2 and has no bearing - on surface 1. - -**Swarm runs surface 2, not surface 1.** Under swarm the five-seat -council is the per-round gate: no ten-role panel round is required -between implementation rounds, which is the whole point of running the -harness. Surface 1 is unchanged, because ADR 0046 section 12.3 already -restricts the binding panel to exactly one run at wave close and never -per implementation round. A green phase council is therefore not a -sealed wave, and `phase_complete` passing is not `delivery wave seal` -passing. - -**The 10 roles at wave close.** The ten-role roster is no longer run -every round. It runs once, at wave close, to produce the records -surface 1 consumes: dispatch one read-only lane per roster role via -`dispatch_lanes_async`, seeded with that role's focus cell from the -table above plus the integrator's validation evidence. Lanes are -read-only by contract, which keeps them off the shared Nix store, cargo -target directory, and heavy gate semaphore. Lane ids are free-form, so -all 10 roles vote independently and each lane's verdict maps one-to-one -onto a `panel-attest` record. - -To keep those records attestable, the reviewing agents must run on the -pinned panel binding. The `panel` entry under `agent` in -`.opencode/opencode.json` pins them to -`github-copilot/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` at reasoning effort `high` and -denies the write, edit, patch, and bash tools, matching the read-only -lane contract above. A lane on any other model produces a record -`panel-attest` will reject, so do not let model fallback silently -downgrade a panel lane, and do not dispatch a panel lane through the -`general` agent - that one is pinned to the coding model -`github-copilot/gpt-5.6-sol` and its records are rejected by design. - -**The per-round council, and what it costs.** -`submit_phase_council_verdicts` has a closed five-member roster -(`critic`, `reviewer`, `sme`, `test_engineer`, `explorer`) and -deduplicates by member, so ten distinct votes cannot be cast against it. -Each seat carries the concerns of the roster roles nearest it: - -| Seat | Covers | -|-----------------|---------------------------------| -| `reviewer` | `software`, `rust` | -| `test_engineer` | `test` | -| `sme` | `nixos`, `networking`, `kernel` | -| `critic` | `security`, `product` | -| `explorer` | `docs`, `observability` | - -A seat MUST NOT return `APPROVE` while any concern it covers is open. -Accept the tradeoff knowingly: five synthesizers can agree where ten -independent reviewers would have dissented, and the observability -precedent above is exactly that failure shape. That is why this council -gates a round and not a wave, and why the ten-role panel still runs -before the seal. - -**Verdict rule.** Swarm's default is more permissive than this file: a -`CONCERNS` verdict carrying only MEDIUM/LOW findings still passes. The -repository rule, and the rule `panel.rs` enforces, is `signoff: true` -iff `recommendations` is `[]`. Set -`council.phaseConcernsAllowComplete: false` so `CONCERNS` blocks like -`REJECT`; that is a required part of the project config. - -**Gate wiring.** Enable the gates before the QA profile locks -(`set_qa_gates` is ratchet-tighter and rejects all writes once critic -approval or drift evidence locks it): - -``` -phase_council, final_council, drift_check, -hallucination_guard, critic_pre_plan, sme_enabled -``` - -`phase_complete` then refuses to close a phase without -`.swarm/evidence//phase-council.json`. - -**Plan review.** Swarm has no gate that blocks dispatch on a -phase-scoped plan panel; `critic_pre_plan` is a single critic, once, -project-wide. Encode the plan gate as work instead: make task `N.1` of -every phase the plan-review task, declare the plan itself as its -acceptance criteria via `declare_council_criteria`, and give every -implementation task in that phase a `depends` edge on it. Per-task -council then enforces the plan gate before any coder is dispatched. - -**Waves and file ownership.** `epic_decide_phase` followed by -`epic_plan_waves` is the direct implementation of the parallelization -graph, and a `declare_scope` call per task is the file-ownership map -described in [Integrator-prep-first pattern](#integrator-prep-first-pattern-w3-onwards). -Record `epic_record_divergence` after each task completes; declared -scope versus files actually touched is calibration data the manual -process never captured. - -### Unattended multi-day runs - -Long plans are expected to run for days with the operator away. Two -things make that work, and one thing makes "zero interaction" -unachievable. - -**Removing the routine prompts.** Set `execution_profile.auto_proceed: -true` on the plan to drop the phase-boundary confirmation, and enable -Full-Auto (`full_auto.enabled: true`, `mode: "supervised"`) so safe -in-scope operations stop asking. Writes to protected paths still route -through the read-only `critic_oversight` agent rather than blocking. - -**Escalation is a pause, not a stop-the-world.** Keep -`full_auto.escalation_mode: "pause"` and `full_auto.denials.on_limit: -"pause"`. `terminate` kills a multi-day run outright; `pause` parks it -recoverably, and `.swarm/` state survives process restarts. - -**Zero user interaction is not achievable, by design on both sides.** -`full_auto.escalation_mode` admits only `pause` and `terminate`, there -is no autonomous mode, and `council.escalateOnMaxRounds` is declared -but not implemented - exhausting `council.maxRounds` without an -`APPROVE` surfaces a message for the operator and refuses to -auto-advance. Surface 1 is stricter still: a wave cannot seal without -ten human-attested records, so the binding panel is a deliberate -human-in-the-loop stop that no configuration removes. That matches this -file's own rule that green tests never waive the gate. Plan for -**batched escalation**: the run parks on unresolved disagreement, -`/swarm status` reports why, and the operator services the queue when -convenient.

Explain *why*, not what - the diff - shows the what. -- **Traceability - canonical tag form (forward, W2fu4+).** - Every commit subject MUST end with a trailing parenthesized - tag in one of these exact forms: - - - `( W )` - wave-N implementer work (no finding ref) - - `( Wfu )` - wave-N follow-up round M integrator - merge (no finding ref); merge-shape suffixes like - `octopus` are NOT permitted in the tag - - `( Wfu )` - single finding fixed in - follow-up round M. The finding-tag is `` where - `` is the severity letter from the reviewer JSON - (`C` = critical, `H` = high, `M` = medium, `L` = low) - and `` is the ordinal within that severity. Example: - `( W2fu1 H3 )` = wave 2, follow-up 1, HIGH-3. - - `( Wfu ... )` - multi-finding - follow-up commit when two or more findings genuinely express - one coherent change and scattering them would not add - review value. The trailing tag enumerates every finding - closed by the commit, separated by single spaces. The commit - body MUST explicitly call out the multi-finding scope (which - findings are closed and why batching them in one commit - aids review). Example: W3fu3 `( W3fu3 H4 H5 H6 )` aligned - three docs (`privileges.md`, `AGENTS.md`, - plan.md "Spec corrections") to point at `schemas/v2/` as - the current bundle baseline in a single coherent commit. - Reach for the single-finding form by default; reach for - multi-finding only when the alternative is three or more - trivially-small commits that all express the same - statement. - - `( W )` - single finding fixed inside the - wave itself (rare; usually findings come during follow-ups) - - `( Wa- )` or `( Wa H )` - post-wave **opening - phase** that closes specific Spec-corrections deferrals or - ships infrastructure work. Used when the work is genuinely - pre-wave-N+1 prep rather than an in-wave follow-up. Examples: - `( W3a-1 )` for the W3a-1 testing-infra batched harness, - `( W4a H1 )` for the W4a-H1 audit retention commit. The - spelling with the space (`W4a H1`) is what the W4a - landings used and is the canonical form going forward; the - dash-form (`W3a-1`) is permitted as a historical exception - for the W3a commits that already shipped. Multi-finding - follow-ups within an opening phase use the same - `( Wafu ... )` shape as a normal - wave round (e.g. `( W4afu1 H1 H2 )` for a W4a follow-up - closing R1 findings). - - Docs-only commits that don't close a specific finding (e.g. - CHANGELOG.md grouping, AGENTS.md operating-manual updates after - a wave closes) MAY omit the trailing tag when the subject - itself is unambiguous about the scope (e.g. `CHANGELOG: W3fu4 - H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 grouped entry (R4 closure)`). Reach for the - tag form whenever doing so would aid traceability; treat omitting - it as the exception, not the default. - - No leading-tag form. No partition/topic words inside the - parenthesized tag - those go in prose. Every commit - produced in a panel-fix round MUST carry the relevant - tag; see [Panel review](#panel-review) for the mapping - and phase-gate policy. - - Historical exception: pre-W2fu4 commits in W0/W1/W2 carry - some leading-tag variants (`(W2 s3) ...`) and some merge - subjects with topic words (`(W2fu1 ipc)`, `(W2fu2 octopus)`). - These remain in history for reference; future waves use the - canonical form above. See the - `docs: codify trailing-tag canonical form` commit - (W2fu4 H10) for the full retrospective. - -- **Signing.** Sign-offs / GPG signing are not used. -- **Typography.** Only the ASCII hyphen `-` may spell a dash in the - subject or the body. See the Don'ts entry for the repository-wide rule - and the banned codepoint list. -- **AI/tool attribution.** Do not tag or list the AI agent, assistant, - or model used in commit subjects, commit bodies, PR descriptions, - changelog entries, or shipped docs. Do not add `Co-authored-by` - trailers for AI tools unless the human explicitly requests one for - that change. -- **Atomicity.** One logical change per commit. Mechanical - reformat or rename passes go in their own commit so the - human-reviewable diff stays small. - -## Disk hygiene contract - -- Put every throwaway probe, one-off crate, parser experiment, and debugging - artifact under the gitignored repository-root `.scratch/` directory. - Never place an exploratory file beside production code or tests, where a - catch-all `git add` can sweep it into a commit. -- Test eval expressions MUST resolve the flake via `git+file://$ROOT` - (use the `d2b_flake_ref` helper in `tests/lib.sh`), **never** - `builtins.getFlake (toString $ROOT)`. A bare path makes Nix use the - `path:` fetcher, which copies the ENTIRE working tree into the store - - including the multi-GiB `packages/target` cargo artifacts (measured: - ~36 GB / 5+ min per cold eval, re-triggered every time a cargo build - churns `target/`). `git+file://` copies only git-tracked files - (`target/` is gitignored), turning a 5-minute eval into <1 s. Caveats: - (a) `nix eval` is pure by default and needs `--impure` with git+file; - `nix-instantiate --eval` is impure by default and needs no flag. - (b) When a script captures eval output via `2>&1` into a variable it - then parses (jq, etc.), add `--quiet --no-warn-dirty` so the git+file - `fetching git input` / `Git tree is dirty` stderr diagnostics don't - corrupt the parsed JSON. (c) git+file sees uncommitted edits to - TRACKED files but NOT untracked files - identical to `nix flake check`, - so "commit before building" still holds (see "Edit -> commit -> - validate"). -- Every test script that creates repo-local scratch state MUST use - `d2b_mktemp` from `tests/lib.sh`; do not call raw - `mktemp -d -p "$ROOT"`. -- Per-process bookkeeping (`cleanups.`, `scratch-registry`) - lives in `${D2B_BOOKKEEPING_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/d2b-bookkeeping}`, - NOT in `$ROOT`. Parallel-test timing log/status files live in - `${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/d2b-static-timing.$$/`. Both moves are - required so volatile files can't race - `builtins.getFlake (toString $ROOT)` source-capture during - flake-eval gates (W2fu4 H8/H9). -- Rust worktrees do NOT share a cargo target directory.

A shared target dir is deliberately - avoided: cargo's target-dir lock is workspace-wide, so two worktrees - building concurrently at different SHAs would serialize pessimistically - and stomp each other's incremental caches. To bypass sccache locally - (e.g. when bisecting a compiler issue), set `RUSTC_WRAPPER=` or - `CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC_WRAPPER=` explicitly. -- **Never clear `RUSTC_WRAPPER` to make a command work.** Every - `rustc-wrapper` line points at a repo-local `.cargo/rustc-wrapper.sh` - that uses sccache when it is on PATH and plain rustc when it is not, so - no environment needs the variable cleared in order to build. Naming - `sccache` directly used to make it a hard requirement, and the resulting - `RUSTC_WRAPPER=""` workaround spread into environments that *did* have - sccache and silently disabled the compiler cache. Clearing it is reserved - for a deliberate choice: running uncached (`D2B_NO_SCCACHE=1`, or CI - without `D2B_CI_SCCACHE=1`), or the compile-fail seal fixtures, which - clear every wrapper spelling because a caching wrapper that exits nonzero - under concurrent cargo invocations is indistinguishable from the fixture - failing for the wrong reason. -- Tests that shell out to `cargo` (the capability-seal guards in - `packages/d2b-bus/` and `packages/d2b-controller-toolkit/`) cache their - scratch trees between runs, keyed on a hash of `rustc -vV`.

Those caches live under `.scratch/` and - are several GB per worktree; delete that directory to reclaim the space. -- The persistent-shell helper is intentionally excluded from the main - Rust workspace at `packages/d2b-guest-shell-runner/`. Run it by - manifest path (and with `--features real-libshpool` when checking the - real shpool bridge); the top-level Rust/static/supply-chain gates wire - it explicitly like the broker workspace. -- The integrator MUST run `nix-collect-garbage` after each wave merge. -- For the operator host running heavy iteration: prune OLD - NixOS system generations periodically: - - ``` - sudo nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 7d - ``` - - Old `/nix/var/nix/profiles/system-N-link` symlinks are auto-gcroots; - each pins ~1-2 GiB of unique closure.

Requires `/var/lib/d2b` and `/nix/store` on the **same filesystem** - hardlinks can't cross FS boundaries; if split, `d2b vm switch` refuses with a fatal error. The broker builds the farm inside a private mount namespace where `/nix/store` is lazily detached (NixOS bind-mounts `/nix/store` on itself, so a same-`st_dev` cross-vfsmount `link(2)` returns `EXDEV` - recoverable, distinct from a fatal different-filesystem `EXDEV`); a `link(2)` `EMLINK` on a `--optimise`d store's saturated empty-file inode falls back to a byte copy. The daemon owns the sync; there is no per-VM `store-sync` unit. | -| TPM persistence (per-VM swtpm) | `/var/lib/d2b/vms//swtpm/`; spawned via broker `SpawnRunner` from `packages/d2b-host/src/swtpm_argv.rs` and supervised by `d2bd` as a child of the VM's DAG.

Validate the evaluated graphics shape with `tests/unit/nix/cases/video-contract.nix`. | -| Video sidecar (graphics VMs) | `nixos-modules/components/video/guest.nix`, `nixos-modules/processes-json.nix`, `pkgs/vhost-user-video/`, `packages/d2b-host/src/video_argv.rs`, broker `SpawnRunner{role: Video}` | `graphics.videoSidecar = true` is an explicit opt-in H264 decode path: guest `virtio_media` + patched Cloud Hypervisor `--vhost-user-media` + patched crosvm `device video-decoder --backend vaapi`. There is no per-VM video systemd unit, no stock crosvm/CH fallback, and no free-form video extra args. The video runner MUST use the dedicated `d2b--video` principal, not `d2b--gpu`, so broker/activation ACLs can deny host Wayland/PipeWire/Pulse sockets to video without breaking GPU cross-domain. The broker masks `/dev` for the video runner and exposes only the declared device allowlist: default `/dev/dri/renderD128`, plus `/dev/nvidiactl`, `/dev/nvidia0`, and `/dev/nvidia-uvm` only when `graphics.videoNvidiaDecode = true`. `virtio_media` is a guest module, not a host `/proc/modules` preflight requirement. Firefox/VA-API uses the separate experimental `graphics.virglVideo` GPU path; it is default-off and must not be treated as stable video-sidecar coverage. Validate evaluated shape with `tests/unit/nix/cases/video-contract.nix`; rendered argv and sandbox coverage lives in `packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/minijail_swtpm_video.rs` and is advisory until the fixture lane is enabled. | -| UI color contract / niri backend | `nixos-modules/ui-colors.nix`, `nixos-modules/niri-vm-borders.nix`, `docs/reference/ui-colors.{md,json}`, `tests/unit/nix/cases/niri-vm-borders.nix`, and sibling consumers such as `vicondoa/d2b-wlcontrol` | The compositor-agnostic `d2b.site.ui` / `d2b.envs..ui` / `d2b.vms..ui` color model is the source of truth for host/env/VM/state colors. Generated `/etc/d2b/ui-colors.json` and `/etc/d2b/ui-colors.css` are public presentation metadata, not authz or policy inputs. Niri-specific settings belong only under `d2b.site.ui.compositors.niri`; do not add compositor-specific color source options. Keep the JSON schema, reference docs, GTK CSS `@define-color` names, and nix-unit artifact-shape tests in sync. Downstream tools must fail visibly but remain usable when the artifact is missing or malformed, without reading root-owned d2b state directly. | -| ComponentSession capability boundary | `packages/d2b-contracts/src/v3/component_session.rs`, `packages/d2b-session/`, `packages/d2b-session-unix/` | Authenticated transport evidence and attachment credits are consumed into a private single session owner; do not add a clone/accessor that lets callers reuse admission evidence. **`SessionAuthority` is sealed** by a private supertrait in a private module (`admission.rs`), so no crate outside `d2b-session` can implement it - that seal is load-bearing, because a foreign authority implementation is a direct path to minting a genuine admission. Prove exact Zone equality before every capability mint, and never expose a store path, socket, or handle through the session. These crates are tested but deliberately unwired from production listeners until the full authenticated registration path lands. | -| Zone message bus boundary | `packages/d2b-bus/src/{router,registry,authorization,streams,operations}.rs`, `packages/d2b-resource-api/src/adapter.rs` | Registration consumes the single-owner capability admission; comparing a clonable token is insufficient. Every route is exact, subject-bound, revision-bound, and Zone-checked before minting authority. There is no wildcard pub/sub and no direct store handle. `UnregisteredBusAdapter` is a deliberate unreachable seam and must remain unregistered until authenticated ComponentSession, the Zone bus, and Zone registration land together. | -| Authoritative subject resolution | `packages/d2b-bus/src/router.rs` (`ZoneRegistrar`), `packages/d2b-session-unix/src/subject.rs` | `ZoneRegistrar` **exclusively owns and consumes** subject resolution: a peer is mapped to a subject from registrar-private state using verified peer evidence. There is no public subject-configuration type and no raw-claim registration path, and there must not be one - caller-supplied `subject_ref`/`subject_uid` are exactly how a component would name itself something it is not. Production currently fails closed because no authoritative resolver is wired, which is the intended state until the Zone runtime supplies one; do not "fix" that by accepting claims from the caller. This boundary moved several times before it closed, each time by reappearing as a public constructor or registrar mutator somewhere the guard was not looking, so it is enforced by the type-based mint-surface inventory and a compile-fail fixture rather than by convention. | -| Capability mint surface allowlist | `packages/d2b-bus/tests/public_mint_surface.rs`, its four approved API snapshots, the mutations under `packages/d2b-bus/tests/ui/`, and the capability definitions in `packages/{d2b-bus,d2b-session,d2b-session-unix}/src/` | The **enforcing compiler leg** uses stable trait-solver ambiguity assertions in the defining crates. It rejects the enumerated `Clone`, `Copy`, `Default`, and `From` implementations for `ComponentSessionAdmission`, `VerifiedUnixPeer`, `SessionAcceptor`, and `AuthenticatedComponentSession` in every compiled configuration. Generic assertions catch unconditional blanket implementations; separate assertions cover `C = ()` and the workspace's `C = ComponentSessionAdmission` uses. They do not enumerate every bounded or downstream `From` implementation, so private construction fields, sealed traits, instance identity, and consumed authority remain the primary boundary. The external-seals tests require `error[E0283]` plus `CapabilityMustNotImplementCloneCopyDefaultOrFrom`; fabrication fixtures require the construction diagnostic that proves private fields remain closed. The **best-effort source leg** inventories explicit workspace impl and derive forms and compares them with `approved-capability-trait-impls.txt`. Module aliases and module-level globs resolve monotonically over a finite universe: parsed alias names form the binding universe, declared local module paths form the only target universe, explicit bindings shadow glob imports, conflicting glob results are ambiguous, and separate target/visibility and taint budgets bound the two fixed points. Capability propagation resolves every glob target through the completed module-alias fixed point, including renamed targets; a multiple-target result is ambiguous and fails closed. A target can never acquire a path outside that finite module set, so glob cycles cannot grow indefinitely. Capability relevance propagates through resolved aliases to every descendant module containing a discovered capability binding. Unknown glob destinations taint their importing module; that taint propagates through later glob re-exports and makes otherwise unclassified impl self types fail closed. Roots matching Cargo-declared dependency names are classified as external and import no local capability binding, so ordinary dependency globs remain accepted. Unresolved alias bindings imported by a glob remain tainted bindings and fail closed when used as an impl prefix. Block-local globs and impls carry lexical scope identities. The scanner accepts a same-scope direct module alias only when its target is resolved and no capability or tainted descendant is reachable; capability-relevant, ambiguous, unresolved, or otherwise unmodelled block-local glob aliases fail closed. This is intentionally not a claim of complete Rust glob resolution. Regression fixtures pin the terminating `a`/`b` glob cycle with explicit shadowing, nested re-export through glob, rejecting direct and grouped renamed glob targets, unresolved and two-hop glob taint, rejecting direct and grouped block-local capability globs, and accepting non-capability block-local and renamed-target globs. Existing direct, renamed, chained, cfg, raw-identifier, path-loaded, symlink, attribute, and duplicate-logical-module fixtures remain covered. The source leg also fails closed on generic or cfg-gated declared type aliases, cfg-gated renamed imports, unsupported aliases, lexically scoped capability aliases, unresolvable external modules, missing selected module files, and unrecognised module attributes. It does not perform general Rust name resolution, macro expansion, or `include!` expansion, and implementations outside the scanned workspace remain outside its claim. Approved snapshots retain rendered signatures for exact comparison; failure output uses fixed operation or syntax labels, package or crate identity, exit status, and crate-relative logical locations. Raw Cargo or rustdoc stderr, signature tokens, source text, attribute tokens, absolute scratch paths, and attacker-authored path literals are not emitted. The separate capability API inventory still propagates from fixed capability and claim identities through private field types. Widening any compiler seal or approved snapshot is a deliberate trust-boundary change requiring a stated reason. | -| Resource controller effects boundary | `packages/d2b-controller-toolkit/src/{runner,queue,context,result,owner_hints}.rs`, `packages/d2b-core-controller/src/{hints,dependencies,owner_reconcile}.rs` | Controller and core-reconciliation engines are test-only and unwired from the absent production store/watch dispatcher. An EffectPort call is permitted only after durable resource commit and consumption of the matching `CommittedRevisionProof`; abort, conflict, stale proof, or restart ambiguity cannot release an effect. Preserve per-resource single flight, bounded fair admission, deterministic owner/dependency propagation, and restart-safe idempotency when wiring the production path. | -| Unsafe-local provider, launcher, and persistent-shell helper | `nixos-modules/options-realms-workloads.nix`, `nixos-modules/unsafe-local-workloads-json.nix`, `packages/d2b-core/src/unsafe_local_workloads.rs`, `packages/d2b-contracts/src/unsafe_local_wire.rs`, `packages/d2b-unsafe-local-helper/src/{shell_runtime,shell_supervisor,shell_socket,output_ring,tty_exec}.rs`, and `docs/reference/unsafe-local-provider.md` | `unsafe-local` is explicit and default-denied. It runs only as the exact authenticated requesting uid and provides no isolation boundary. Public metadata never carries configured argv or shell policy; those come only from the integrity-pinned private bundle. A persistent-shell supervisor in a verified transient USER scope - not the reconnectable helper or d2bd - owns the login-shell PTY, bounded merged-output ring, attachment, and private same-UID listener. Ledger adoption preserves ambiguous sessions as degraded; teardown closes the PTY and signals only the exact re-verified scope. The helper-wide ring reservation is bounded, terminal responses transfer exactly one CLOEXEC stream fd, and shell names, supervisor ids, paths, environment, process/unit identity, and bytes stay out of Debug/errors/audit. Do not add cross-uid execution, a direct compositor fallback, VM state/network/device semantics, a root service, per-VM unit, broker op, free-form shell command, or broad same-UID cleanup. | -| Manifest contract | `docs/reference/manifest-schema.{md,json}` + `nixos-modules/manifest.nix` | Version-pinned via `manifestVersion`. Adding, removing, or renaming a per-VM field requires bumping the version, updating the schema, and noting it in the CHANGELOG. The `static.sh` md↔json drift gate catches partial updates. | -| Manifest bundle - private artifacts | `docs/reference/manifest-bundle.md` + `docs/reference/schemas/v2/*.json` + `packages/d2b-core/src/{bundle,host,processes,privileges,closures,minijail_profile}.rs` + `nixos-modules/{bundle,bundle-artifacts,host-json,processes-json,privileges-json,closures-json,minijail-profiles}.nix` + `packages/xtask/src/main.rs` (`gen-schemas`) | Sensitive bundle artifacts install at `root:d2bd` 0640 and ground every broker/sandbox/runner behaviour. `d2b-core` DTOs are canonical; `d2b._bundle` is the typed internal artifact table that owns JSON data, install names, classifications, and `/etc/d2b` materialization for every bundle artifact. Add new bundle artifacts through `nixos-modules/bundle-artifacts.nix` instead of hand-writing parallel install logic in each emitter. Committed schemas under `docs/reference/schemas/v2/` ARE the contract and the `tests/unit/gates/drift-check.sh` gate enforces `xtask gen-schemas` + `git diff --exit-code` through `make test-drift`. Breaking the schema without an intentional `bundleVersion`/`schemaVersion` bump silently breaks every downstream consumer. | -| Control plane - `d2bd` + `d2b-priv-broker` | `packages/d2b-contracts/**` + `packages/d2b-core/**` + `packages/d2bd/**` + `packages/d2b-priv-broker/**` (sibling workspace; `unsafe_code = "deny"` with quarantined `src/sys.rs` for fd-passing FFI) + `packages/d2b/**` + `docs/reference/{cli-contract,daemon-api,error-codes,privileges}.md` + the daemon Layer-1 gate set in `tests/static.sh` | The **only** persistent root surfaces the framework declares. `d2b-priv-broker.socket` is socket-activated: systemd creates/binds/listens/sets-ACL before the broker starts; the broker adopts fd 3 via `SD_LISTEN_FDS` and MUST NOT self-bind, self-fchmod, or self-fchown when `SD_LISTEN_FDS=1`. `d2bd.service` carries `Wants=d2b-priv-broker.socket` (not `Requires=`) so the daemon keeps serving while the broker is idle. The broker reloads the current bundle resolver per accepted request so it does not dispatch stale runner intents after a switch. The broker drops to the `d2bd` group and uses `SO_PEERCRED` at accept time for authz (launcher / admin / deny). Every host mutation flows through a typed broker op (cgroup v2 delegation, TAP/bridge lifecycle, `ApplyNftables`, `ApplyNmUnmanaged`, `ApplySysctl`, `UpdateHostsFile`, `ModprobeIfAllowed`, `UsbipBindFirewallRule`, `SpawnRunner`, `OpenPidfd`) and is recorded as an `OpAuditRecord` in `/var/lib/d2b/audit/broker-.jsonl` (root-owned `0640 root:d2bd`, append-only `O_APPEND`, daily rotation, 14-day default retention overridable via `d2b.site.audit.retentionDays`). Relevant enforcing coverage includes `tests/unit/nix/cases/broker-socket-activation.nix`, `tests/unit/nix/cases/broker-caps.nix`, and daemon startup integration tests under `packages/d2bd/tests/`. The legacy-unit policy lives in `packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/policy_units.rs` and remains advisory until the fixture lane is enabled. See [ADR 0015](./docs/adr/0015-daemon-only-clean-break.md). | -| Storage lifecycle / restart / synchronization | Planned generated contracts in `d2b-core::{storage,process_restart,sync}` + Nix emitters, broker storage/sync ops, daemon lifecycle DAG integration, and docs [ADR 0034](./docs/adr/0034-storage-lifecycle-restart-and-synchronization.md) / [`docs/explanation/storage-lifecycle.md`](./docs/explanation/storage-lifecycle.md) | Managed paths, restart adoption, locks, leases, cleanup, and degraded-state reporting are control-plane contracts. Normal daemon restarts are continuation events: do not broad-sweep `/run/d2b`; first re-discover adoptable runners from declared cgroup leaves, open fresh pidfds, verify identity, and quarantine/degrade ambiguity. Pidfds are not persisted. New advisory locks use OFD locks with `O_CLOEXEC`, explicit fd transfer only, and total acquisition order. The broker resolves storage/lock mutations from opaque bundle ids through anchored `openat2`/fd-relative path walking; daemon-owned ledgers are diagnostics, never repair authority. | -| Eval-time assertions | `nixos-modules/assertions.nix` | These are the framework's contract with consumers. Loosening one silently turns a previously-rejected misconfig into runtime breakage. New assertions need a matching case in `tests/unit/nix/cases/assertions.nix`. | -| Guest-control exec session table | `packages/d2bd/src/{exec_session,exec_session_real}.rs`, `run_exec_owner` in `packages/d2bd/src/lib.rs`, `packages/d2b/src/exec_client.rs`, `packages/d2b-contracts/src/public_wire.rs` (`ExecOp`/`ExecOpResponse`) | Arbitrary `d2b vm exec` is **admin-only**; configured `d2b launch` local-VM items may use the same detached guest-control backend with launcher authority because argv is resolved exclusively from the hash-verified private bundle. Both run through `d2bd` plus authenticated guest-control vsock to `guestd`. Attached exec uses the daemon's in-process **session table**: per-session workers own one authenticated guest-control client and proxy typed exec ops. **guestd runs every exec as the VM's workload user (`ssh.user`) inside a real PAM login session (`systemd-run --property=PAMName=login --uid=`) - never as root; the wire `user` field is ignored and the target user is host-fixed, bare `argv[0]` is resolved by the workload user's login `PATH`, and each attached exec runs in a process-unique named transient unit (`d2b-exec-<…>.service`) that teardown stops via `systemctl kill` so a quiet command cannot outlive owner-disconnect, cancel, or the runtime ceiling. Operators elevate with `sudo` inside the session.** Detached non-TTY exec is enabled with `d2b vm exec -d -- ` and managed through VM-first verbs (`d2b vm exec list`, `logs `, `status `, `kill `); command forms always require `--`, so those verb words remain valid VM names. Detached jobs and configured local-VM launches also run as the workload user, never root: the root detached runner only owns trusted slot/log files, re-validates the non-root uid before spawning the workload unit, and fails terminally rather than falling back to direct root execution. Guestd reconciles detached runner/workload units on startup, cleans orphaned workloads, and runs a periodic reaper for terminal records and retained logs; `kill` maps to idempotent two-phase `ExecCancel` (SIGTERM/grace/SIGKILL). There is **no per-VM systemd unit, no new broker op, and no SSH** - the guest owns the PTY; the host only flips termios for attached TTY via an RAII raw-mode guard restored on every exit/error/panic. The admin `SO_PEERCRED` check runs before arbitrary exec session setup; configured launch instead requires local launcher/admin authority and a trusted configured item. Old/non-guest-control generations fail closed (exit `70`) with no proxy and no SSH fallback. Session-table caps (global/per-UID/per-VM), detached slot/log quotas, and rate limits are enforced before connect/auth or create. Attached audit emits one redacted kind=critical session-establishment event (vm/peer_uid/tty); detached create/kill daemon audit carries only vm/peer_uid/action/result/exec_id, while configured-launch audit adds target/item/operation correlation without execution details. Opaque session handles, argv, stdio, env, cwd, and paths never reach any Debug/trace/audit/metric surface. Validate with the `exec_session`/`exec_client` hermetic test matrices. | -| Unsafe-local persistent shells | `packages/d2bd/src/{workload_dispatch,unsafe_local_helper,unsafe_local_terminal,shell_backend}.rs`, shell owner dispatch in `packages/d2bd/src/lib.rs`, `packages/d2b-unsafe-local-helper/src/{shell_runtime,shell_supervisor}.rs`, and `tests/host-integration/unsafe-local-helper.nix` | `d2b shell` remains **admin-only** for every provider. Unsafe-local target identity and `defaultName`/`maxSessions` come only from the hash-verified private bundle; public `ShellOp` keeps protocol v3 and carries no policy, uid, argv, env, cwd, or path. The daemon dispatches helper protocol v2 to the exact `SO_PEERCRED` uid, validates exactly one connected CLOEXEC stream fd, and multiplexes terminal protocol v1 behind a fresh opaque public handle. Disconnect/`CloseAttach` detach but never kill; `Kill` targets only the helper-verified transient user scope. Shells survive CLI, daemon, and helper reconnects while that scope and the non-lingering user manager live. User logout ends them by design. User scopes provide lifecycle ownership, **not containment from other processes with the same host uid**. There is no root unit, broker op, per-VM service, SSH path, host-shell fallback, direct-compositor fallback, or automatic replay after an ambiguous daemon timeout. Never log/audit/label shell names, supervisor ids, public handles, terminal bytes, helper diagnostics, PIDs, unit names, argv, env, cwd, or paths; audit may use configured target/peer uid and fixed digests, while metrics use closed provider/component/operation/outcome/error labels. | -| Lifecycle permission group | `nixos-modules/host-users.nix` | Membership in `d2b` + `SO_PEERCRED` at `public.sock` accept time is the **only** lifecycle authorisation surface. There is no polkit allowlist; wiring anything else into the group inverts the threat model. **Exception:** the guarded `ExecStop` shutdown hook runs as uid 0 and receives the narrow `HostShutdown` role, which is permitted only for `vmStop` during host-shutdown teardown (see `packages/d2bd/src/admission.rs`). This exception is scoped strictly: all other admin-only operations (exec, USB attach, key rotation, host prepare, audit export) are denied for this role. The daemon-restart continuation guard is preserved: `Restart=on-failure` restarts never receive `HostShutdown` treatment because the restarting daemon re-adopts runners and the shutdown hook only runs under systemd stop with a live `stopping` system state check. | -| SSH key generation / rotation | `nixos-modules/host-keys.nix`, `host-activation.nix` | The framework owns `${cfg.site.keysDir}/_ed25519`. `d2b keys rotate` MUST NOT touch consumer-supplied keys. | -| virtiofsd sandbox model | `nixos-modules/minijail-profiles.nix` (virtiofsdProfiles), `packages/d2b-priv-broker/src/sys.rs` (`clone3_spawn_runner` user-NS path), `nixos-modules/processes-json.nix` (argv emit) | virtiofsd profiles MUST declare zero host capabilities (`capabilities = []`), `requiresStartRoot = false`, and a `userNamespace` block mapping in-NS UID/GID 0 to the per-share principal. Normal VM shares map to `d2b--runner`; the guest-control token share (`d2b-gctl`) maps to the narrower `d2b--gctlfs` principal. The broker pre-establishes the user namespace via `clone3(CLONE_NEWUSER)` + `pipe2` sync + `/proc//uid_map` writes BEFORE virtiofsd's first instruction runs. virtiofsd argv MUST include `--sandbox=chroot --inode-file-handles=never` and `--readonly` for every `readOnly` share (`ro-store`, `d2b-gctl`). Reintroducing host caps, `requiresStartRoot=true`, or `--sandbox=namespace` violates [ADR 0021](./docs/adr/0021-broker-user-namespace-for-virtiofsd.md).

Normal +`d2b vm stop` asks Cloud Hypervisor guests to shut down via the CH +API and qemu-media guests via broker-mediated QMP before pidfd signal +cleanup. `--force` is an explicit operator override that skips only +that graceful guest wait and then uses the standard SIGTERM/SIGKILL +cleanup path. `d2b.daemon.lifecycle.gracefulShutdown.*` and +`d2b.vms..lifecycle.gracefulShutdown.*` configure the bounded +wait; disabled VMs bypass the graceful phase without being marked +degraded. + +The restart policy applies differently to the two daemon units (no +per-VM units are emitted): + +- `d2bd.service` is `Type=notify` and may restart on switch/update. + Systemd does not report it ready until the public socket is bound and + the daemon has completed startup/adoption. `KillMode=process` ensures a + daemon restart kills only the daemon main PID, not VM runner + descendants; the restarted daemon re-adopts existing runners. The + existing guarded `ExecStop` host-shutdown hook remains the all-VM + teardown path and runs only when the system manager is stopping. +- `d2b-priv-broker.service` is socket-activated. It reloads the + current bundle resolver for each accepted request so a running broker + does not dispatch stale runner intents after a switch, and it never + holds in-flight session state across requests. + +Drift detection moves from per-VM symlinks into the daemon's +state file. `d2b vm list` flags any VM where the running +closure differs from the latest declared closure with +`[pending restart]`; `d2b vm status ` prints both store +paths and the exact remediation command (`d2b vm restart ` +for a clean down+up, `d2b vm switch ` for a per-VM closure +rebuild + live activation). + +## Adding new per-VM behaviour + +New per-VM work belongs **inside the daemon's DAG executor** +(`packages/d2bd/src/supervisor/`), with any privileged side +effects routed through a typed `d2b-priv-broker` op declared +in `packages/d2b-contracts/` and audited in +`/var/lib/d2b/audit/broker-.jsonl`.

That script is authoritative for the governed +paths, marker patterns, narrow functional exceptions, exact diagnostics, +and use of the active exemption set. The pin's typed schema and frozen +universe are independently checked by +`packages/xtask/src/process_marker_pin.rs`; consult both implementations +when changing the ratchet. + +Existing violations are recorded in +`tests/golden/pinned/process-marker-legacy-paths.json`. Its +`activePaths` array is the current exemption set and `retiredPaths` +records cleaned paths. Both arrays must be sorted and disjoint, every +entry must be a normalized relative path, and their combined path +universe must match the fixed SHA-256 digest embedded in both checkers. +The digest freezes the combined universe; there is no editable count +budget and no permitted swap that adds a different path. + +An active path is exempt only while the scanner still finds a violation +there. Cleaning that path makes the gate fail with a `STALE:` line; move +the path from `activePaths` to `retiredPaths` in the same change, preserving +the frozen universe. A retired path is not exempt, so a marker there is +reported as a new violation. Handle the contributor-facing failure modes +as follows: + +- For a new violation outside the allow-list, remove or reword the + marker. If it is a genuine functional identifier, add a narrowly + scoped scanner exception with policy review rather than growing + legacy debt. +- For a stale active entry, move it to `retiredPaths`; do not delete it + from the frozen universe. +- For a pin validation failure, restore sorted, unique, normalized arrays + whose disjoint union matches the embedded digest. Do not add, delete, or + replace a frozen path. + +The exact scanner failure text may evolve; +`tests/tools/tier0-first-pass.sh` remains the authority for it, while +`packages/xtask/src/process_marker_pin.rs` is authoritative for typed pin +validation. + +There are two deliberate functional exceptions. The consumer-facing +`d2b.defaultSwitchReadiness.` option namespace (keys +`w4Fu`…`p7`), its `readinessWaveSpecs` schema, and the +`/var/lib/d2b/validated/.json` evidence contract use +`wave`/phase tokens as **functional identifiers**.

The trailing tag enumerates every finding + closed by the commit, separated by single spaces.

Example: W3fu3 `( W3fu3 H4 H5 H6 )` aligned + three docs (`privileges.md`, `AGENTS.md`, + plan.md "Spec corrections") to point at `schemas/v2/` as + the current bundle baseline in a single coherent commit. + Reach for the single-finding form by default; reach for + multi-finding only when the alternative is three or more + trivially-small commits that all express the same + statement. + - `( W )` - single finding fixed inside the + wave itself (rare; usually findings come during follow-ups) + - `( Wa- )` or `( Wa H )` - post-wave **opening + phase** that closes specific Spec-corrections deferrals or + ships infrastructure work.

Requires `/var/lib/d2b` and `/nix/store` on the **same filesystem** - hardlinks can't cross FS boundaries; if split, `d2b vm switch` refuses with a fatal error. The broker builds the farm inside a private mount namespace where `/nix/store` is lazily detached (NixOS bind-mounts `/nix/store` on itself, so a same-`st_dev` cross-vfsmount `link(2)` returns `EXDEV` - recoverable, distinct from a fatal different-filesystem `EXDEV`); a `link(2)` `EMLINK` on a `--optimise`d store's saturated empty-file inode falls back to a byte copy.

There is no per-VM video systemd unit, no stock crosvm/CH fallback, and no free-form video extra args. The video runner MUST use the dedicated `d2b--video` principal, not `d2b--gpu`, so broker/activation ACLs can deny host Wayland/PipeWire/Pulse sockets to video without breaking GPU cross-domain. The broker masks `/dev` for the video runner and exposes only the declared device allowlist: default `/dev/dri/renderD128`, plus `/dev/nvidiactl`, `/dev/nvidia0`, and `/dev/nvidia-uvm` only when `graphics.videoNvidiaDecode = true`. `virtio_media` is a guest module, not a host `/proc/modules` preflight requirement. Firefox/VA-API uses the separate experimental `graphics.virglVideo` GPU path; it is default-off and must not be treated as stable video-sidecar coverage. Validate evaluated shape with `tests/unit/nix/cases/video-contract.nix`; rendered argv and sandbox coverage lives in `packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/minijail_swtpm_video.rs` and is advisory until the fixture lane is enabled. + +## UI color contract / niri backend + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/ui-colors.nix`, `nixos-modules/niri-vm-borders.nix`, `docs/reference/ui-colors.{md,json}`, `tests/unit/nix/cases/niri-vm-borders.nix`, and sibling consumers such as `vicondoa/d2b-wlcontrol` + +The compositor-agnostic `d2b.site.ui` / `d2b.envs..ui` / `d2b.vms..ui` color model is the source of truth for host/env/VM/state colors. Generated `/etc/d2b/ui-colors.json` and `/etc/d2b/ui-colors.css` are public presentation metadata, not authz or policy inputs. Niri-specific settings belong only under `d2b.site.ui.compositors.niri`; do not add compositor-specific color source options. Keep the JSON schema, reference docs, GTK CSS `@define-color` names, and nix-unit artifact-shape tests in sync. Downstream tools must fail visibly but remain usable when the artifact is missing or malformed, without reading root-owned d2b state directly. + +## ComponentSession capability boundary + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-contracts/src/v3/component_session.rs`, `packages/d2b-session/`, `packages/d2b-session-unix/` + +Authenticated transport evidence and attachment credits are consumed into a private single session owner; do not add a clone/accessor that lets callers reuse admission evidence. **`SessionAuthority` is sealed** by a private supertrait in a private module (`admission.rs`), so no crate outside `d2b-session` can implement it - that seal is load-bearing, because a foreign authority implementation is a direct path to minting a genuine admission. Prove exact Zone equality before every capability mint, and never expose a store path, socket, or handle through the session. These crates are tested but deliberately unwired from production listeners until the full authenticated registration path lands. + +## Zone message bus boundary + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-bus/src/{router,registry,authorization,streams,operations}.rs`, `packages/d2b-resource-api/src/adapter.rs` + +Registration consumes the single-owner capability admission; comparing a clonable token is insufficient. Every route is exact, subject-bound, revision-bound, and Zone-checked before minting authority. There is no wildcard pub/sub and no direct store handle. `UnregisteredBusAdapter` is a deliberate unreachable seam and must remain unregistered until authenticated ComponentSession, the Zone bus, and Zone registration land together. + +## Authoritative subject resolution + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-bus/src/router.rs` (`ZoneRegistrar`), `packages/d2b-session-unix/src/subject.rs` + +`ZoneRegistrar` **exclusively owns and consumes** subject resolution: a peer is mapped to a subject from registrar-private state using verified peer evidence. There is no public subject-configuration type and no raw-claim registration path, and there must not be one - caller-supplied `subject_ref`/`subject_uid` are exactly how a component would name itself something it is not. Production currently fails closed because no authoritative resolver is wired, which is the intended state until the Zone runtime supplies one; do not "fix" that by accepting claims from the caller. This boundary moved several times before it closed, each time by reappearing as a public constructor or registrar mutator somewhere the guard was not looking, so it is enforced by the type-based mint-surface inventory and a compile-fail fixture rather than by convention. + +## Capability mint surface allowlist + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-bus/tests/public_mint_surface.rs`, its four approved API snapshots, the mutations under `packages/d2b-bus/tests/ui/`, and the capability definitions in `packages/{d2b-bus,d2b-session,d2b-session-unix}/src/` + +The **enforcing compiler leg** uses stable trait-solver ambiguity assertions in the defining crates. It rejects the enumerated `Clone`, `Copy`, `Default`, and `From` implementations for `ComponentSessionAdmission`, `VerifiedUnixPeer`, `SessionAcceptor`, and `AuthenticatedComponentSession` in every compiled configuration. Generic assertions catch unconditional blanket implementations; separate assertions cover `C = ()` and the workspace's `C = ComponentSessionAdmission` uses. They do not enumerate every bounded or downstream `From` implementation, so private construction fields, sealed traits, instance identity, and consumed authority remain the primary boundary. The external-seals tests require `error[E0283]` plus `CapabilityMustNotImplementCloneCopyDefaultOrFrom`; fabrication fixtures require the construction diagnostic that proves private fields remain closed. The **best-effort source leg** inventories explicit workspace impl and derive forms and compares them with `approved-capability-trait-impls.txt`. Module aliases and module-level globs resolve monotonically over a finite universe: parsed alias names form the binding universe, declared local module paths form the only target universe, explicit bindings shadow glob imports, conflicting glob results are ambiguous, and separate target/visibility and taint budgets bound the two fixed points. Capability propagation resolves every glob target through the completed module-alias fixed point, including renamed targets; a multiple-target result is ambiguous and fails closed. A target can never acquire a path outside that finite module set, so glob cycles cannot grow indefinitely. Capability relevance propagates through resolved aliases to every descendant module containing a discovered capability binding. Unknown glob destinations taint their importing module; that taint propagates through later glob re-exports and makes otherwise unclassified impl self types fail closed. Roots matching Cargo-declared dependency names are classified as external and import no local capability binding, so ordinary dependency globs remain accepted. Unresolved alias bindings imported by a glob remain tainted bindings and fail closed when used as an impl prefix. Block-local globs and impls carry lexical scope identities. The scanner accepts a same-scope direct module alias only when its target is resolved and no capability or tainted descendant is reachable; capability-relevant, ambiguous, unresolved, or otherwise unmodelled block-local glob aliases fail closed. This is intentionally not a claim of complete Rust glob resolution. Regression fixtures pin the terminating `a`/`b` glob cycle with explicit shadowing, nested re-export through glob, rejecting direct and grouped renamed glob targets, unresolved and two-hop glob taint, rejecting direct and grouped block-local capability globs, and accepting non-capability block-local and renamed-target globs. Existing direct, renamed, chained, cfg, raw-identifier, path-loaded, symlink, attribute, and duplicate-logical-module fixtures remain covered. The source leg also fails closed on generic or cfg-gated declared type aliases, cfg-gated renamed imports, unsupported aliases, lexically scoped capability aliases, unresolvable external modules, missing selected module files, and unrecognised module attributes. It does not perform general Rust name resolution, macro expansion, or `include!` expansion, and implementations outside the scanned workspace remain outside its claim. Approved snapshots retain rendered signatures for exact comparison; failure output uses fixed operation or syntax labels, package or crate identity, exit status, and crate-relative logical locations. Raw Cargo or rustdoc stderr, signature tokens, source text, attribute tokens, absolute scratch paths, and attacker-authored path literals are not emitted. The separate capability API inventory still propagates from fixed capability and claim identities through private field types. Widening any compiler seal or approved snapshot is a deliberate trust-boundary change requiring a stated reason. + +## Resource controller effects boundary + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-controller-toolkit/src/{runner,queue,context,result,owner_hints}.rs`, `packages/d2b-core-controller/src/{hints,dependencies,owner_reconcile}.rs` + +Controller and core-reconciliation engines are test-only and unwired from the absent production store/watch dispatcher. An EffectPort call is permitted only after durable resource commit and consumption of the matching `CommittedRevisionProof`; abort, conflict, stale proof, or restart ambiguity cannot release an effect. Preserve per-resource single flight, bounded fair admission, deterministic owner/dependency propagation, and restart-safe idempotency when wiring the production path. + +## Unsafe-local provider, launcher, and persistent-shell helper + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/options-realms-workloads.nix`, `nixos-modules/unsafe-local-workloads-json.nix`, `packages/d2b-core/src/unsafe_local_workloads.rs`, `packages/d2b-contracts/src/unsafe_local_wire.rs`, `packages/d2b-unsafe-local-helper/src/{shell_runtime,shell_supervisor,shell_socket,output_ring,tty_exec}.rs`, and `docs/reference/unsafe-local-provider.md` + +`unsafe-local` is explicit and default-denied. It runs only as the exact authenticated requesting uid and provides no isolation boundary. Public metadata never carries configured argv or shell policy; those come only from the integrity-pinned private bundle. A persistent-shell supervisor in a verified transient USER scope - not the reconnectable helper or d2bd - owns the login-shell PTY, bounded merged-output ring, attachment, and private same-UID listener. Ledger adoption preserves ambiguous sessions as degraded; teardown closes the PTY and signals only the exact re-verified scope. The helper-wide ring reservation is bounded, terminal responses transfer exactly one CLOEXEC stream fd, and shell names, supervisor ids, paths, environment, process/unit identity, and bytes stay out of Debug/errors/audit. Do not add cross-uid execution, a direct compositor fallback, VM state/network/device semantics, a root service, per-VM unit, broker op, free-form shell command, or broad same-UID cleanup. + +## Manifest contract + +**Where:** `docs/reference/manifest-schema.{md,json}` + `nixos-modules/manifest.nix` + +Version-pinned via `manifestVersion`. Adding, removing, or renaming a per-VM field requires bumping the version, updating the schema, and noting it in the CHANGELOG. The `static.sh` md↔json drift gate catches partial updates. + +## Manifest bundle - private artifacts + +**Where:** `docs/reference/manifest-bundle.md` + `docs/reference/schemas/v2/*.json` + `packages/d2b-core/src/{bundle,host,processes,privileges,closures,minijail_profile}.rs` + `nixos-modules/{bundle,bundle-artifacts,host-json,processes-json,privileges-json,closures-json,minijail-profiles}.nix` + `packages/xtask/src/main.rs` (`gen-schemas`) + +Sensitive bundle artifacts install at `root:d2bd` 0640 and ground every broker/sandbox/runner behaviour. `d2b-core` DTOs are canonical; `d2b._bundle` is the typed internal artifact table that owns JSON data, install names, classifications, and `/etc/d2b` materialization for every bundle artifact. Add new bundle artifacts through `nixos-modules/bundle-artifacts.nix` instead of hand-writing parallel install logic in each emitter. Committed schemas under `docs/reference/schemas/v2/` ARE the contract and the `tests/unit/gates/drift-check.sh` gate enforces `xtask gen-schemas` + `git diff --exit-code` through `make test-drift`. Breaking the schema without an intentional `bundleVersion`/`schemaVersion` bump silently breaks every downstream consumer. + +## Control plane - `d2bd` + `d2b-priv-broker` + +**Where:** `packages/d2b-contracts/**` + `packages/d2b-core/**` + `packages/d2bd/**` + `packages/d2b-priv-broker/**` (sibling workspace; `unsafe_code = "deny"` with quarantined `src/sys.rs` for fd-passing FFI) + `packages/d2b/**` + `docs/reference/{cli-contract,daemon-api,error-codes,privileges}.md` + the daemon Layer-1 gate set in `tests/static.sh` + +The **only** persistent root surfaces the framework declares. `d2b-priv-broker.socket` is socket-activated: systemd creates/binds/listens/sets-ACL before the broker starts; the broker adopts fd 3 via `SD_LISTEN_FDS` and MUST NOT self-bind, self-fchmod, or self-fchown when `SD_LISTEN_FDS=1`. `d2bd.service` carries `Wants=d2b-priv-broker.socket` (not `Requires=`) so the daemon keeps serving while the broker is idle. The broker reloads the current bundle resolver per accepted request so it does not dispatch stale runner intents after a switch. The broker drops to the `d2bd` group and uses `SO_PEERCRED` at accept time for authz (launcher / admin / deny). Every host mutation flows through a typed broker op (cgroup v2 delegation, TAP/bridge lifecycle, `ApplyNftables`, `ApplyNmUnmanaged`, `ApplySysctl`, `UpdateHostsFile`, `ModprobeIfAllowed`, `UsbipBindFirewallRule`, `SpawnRunner`, `OpenPidfd`) and is recorded as an `OpAuditRecord` in `/var/lib/d2b/audit/broker-.jsonl` (root-owned `0640 root:d2bd`, append-only `O_APPEND`, daily rotation, 14-day default retention overridable via `d2b.site.audit.retentionDays`). Relevant enforcing coverage includes `tests/unit/nix/cases/broker-socket-activation.nix`, `tests/unit/nix/cases/broker-caps.nix`, and daemon startup integration tests under `packages/d2bd/tests/`. The legacy-unit policy lives in `packages/d2b-contract-tests/tests/policy_units.rs` and remains advisory until the fixture lane is enabled. See [ADR 0015](../adr/0015-daemon-only-clean-break.md). + +## Storage lifecycle / restart / synchronization + +**Where:** Planned generated contracts in `d2b-core::{storage,process_restart,sync}` + Nix emitters, broker storage/sync ops, daemon lifecycle DAG integration, and docs [ADR 0034](../adr/0034-storage-lifecycle-restart-and-synchronization.md) / [`docs/explanation/storage-lifecycle.md`](../explanation/storage-lifecycle.md) + +Managed paths, restart adoption, locks, leases, cleanup, and degraded-state reporting are control-plane contracts. Normal daemon restarts are continuation events: do not broad-sweep `/run/d2b`; first re-discover adoptable runners from declared cgroup leaves, open fresh pidfds, verify identity, and quarantine/degrade ambiguity. Pidfds are not persisted. New advisory locks use OFD locks with `O_CLOEXEC`, explicit fd transfer only, and total acquisition order. The broker resolves storage/lock mutations from opaque bundle ids through anchored `openat2`/fd-relative path walking; daemon-owned ledgers are diagnostics, never repair authority. + +## Eval-time assertions + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/assertions.nix` + +These are the framework's contract with consumers. Loosening one silently turns a previously-rejected misconfig into runtime breakage. New assertions need a matching case in `tests/unit/nix/cases/assertions.nix`. + +## Guest-control exec session table + +**Where:** `packages/d2bd/src/{exec_session,exec_session_real}.rs`, `run_exec_owner` in `packages/d2bd/src/lib.rs`, `packages/d2b/src/exec_client.rs`, `packages/d2b-contracts/src/public_wire.rs` (`ExecOp`/`ExecOpResponse`) + +Arbitrary `d2b vm exec` is **admin-only**; configured `d2b launch` local-VM items may use the same detached guest-control backend with launcher authority because argv is resolved exclusively from the hash-verified private bundle.

Attached exec uses the daemon's in-process **session table**: per-session workers own one authenticated guest-control client and proxy typed exec ops. **guestd runs every exec as the VM's workload user (`ssh.user`) inside a real PAM login session (`systemd-run --property=PAMName=login --uid=`) - never as root; the wire `user` field is ignored and the target user is host-fixed, bare `argv[0]` is resolved by the workload user's login `PATH`, and each attached exec runs in a process-unique named transient unit (`d2b-exec-<…>.service`) that teardown stops via `systemctl kill` so a quiet command cannot outlive owner-disconnect, cancel, or the runtime ceiling. Operators elevate with `sudo` inside the session.** Detached non-TTY exec is enabled with `d2b vm exec -d -- ` and managed through VM-first verbs (`d2b vm exec list`, `logs `, `status `, `kill `); command forms always require `--`, so those verb words remain valid VM names. Detached jobs and configured local-VM launches also run as the workload user, never root: the root detached runner only owns trusted slot/log files, re-validates the non-root uid before spawning the workload unit, and fails terminally rather than falling back to direct root execution. Guestd reconciles detached runner/workload units on startup, cleans orphaned workloads, and runs a periodic reaper for terminal records and retained logs; `kill` maps to idempotent two-phase `ExecCancel` (SIGTERM/grace/SIGKILL). There is **no per-VM systemd unit, no new broker op, and no SSH** - the guest owns the PTY; the host only flips termios for attached TTY via an RAII raw-mode guard restored on every exit/error/panic. The admin `SO_PEERCRED` check runs before arbitrary exec session setup; configured launch instead requires local launcher/admin authority and a trusted configured item. Old/non-guest-control generations fail closed (exit `70`) with no proxy and no SSH fallback. Session-table caps (global/per-UID/per-VM), detached slot/log quotas, and rate limits are enforced before connect/auth or create. Attached audit emits one redacted kind=critical session-establishment event (vm/peer_uid/tty); detached create/kill daemon audit carries only vm/peer_uid/action/result/exec_id, while configured-launch audit adds target/item/operation correlation without execution details. Opaque session handles, argv, stdio, env, cwd, and paths never reach any Debug/trace/audit/metric surface. Validate with the `exec_session`/`exec_client` hermetic test matrices. + +## Unsafe-local persistent shells + +**Where:** `packages/d2bd/src/{workload_dispatch,unsafe_local_helper,unsafe_local_terminal,shell_backend}.rs`, shell owner dispatch in `packages/d2bd/src/lib.rs`, `packages/d2b-unsafe-local-helper/src/{shell_runtime,shell_supervisor}.rs`, and `tests/host-integration/unsafe-local-helper.nix` + +`d2b shell` remains **admin-only** for every provider. Unsafe-local target identity and `defaultName`/`maxSessions` come only from the hash-verified private bundle; public `ShellOp` keeps protocol v3 and carries no policy, uid, argv, env, cwd, or path. The daemon dispatches helper protocol v2 to the exact `SO_PEERCRED` uid, validates exactly one connected CLOEXEC stream fd, and multiplexes terminal protocol v1 behind a fresh opaque public handle. Disconnect/`CloseAttach` detach but never kill; `Kill` targets only the helper-verified transient user scope. Shells survive CLI, daemon, and helper reconnects while that scope and the non-lingering user manager live. User logout ends them by design. User scopes provide lifecycle ownership, **not containment from other processes with the same host uid**. There is no root unit, broker op, per-VM service, SSH path, host-shell fallback, direct-compositor fallback, or automatic replay after an ambiguous daemon timeout. Never log/audit/label shell names, supervisor ids, public handles, terminal bytes, helper diagnostics, PIDs, unit names, argv, env, cwd, or paths; audit may use configured target/peer uid and fixed digests, while metrics use closed provider/component/operation/outcome/error labels. + +## Lifecycle permission group + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/host-users.nix` + +Membership in `d2b` + `SO_PEERCRED` at `public.sock` accept time is the **only** lifecycle authorisation surface. There is no polkit allowlist; wiring anything else into the group inverts the threat model. **Exception:** the guarded `ExecStop` shutdown hook runs as uid 0 and receives the narrow `HostShutdown` role, which is permitted only for `vmStop` during host-shutdown teardown (see `packages/d2bd/src/admission.rs`). This exception is scoped strictly: all other admin-only operations (exec, USB attach, key rotation, host prepare, audit export) are denied for this role. The daemon-restart continuation guard is preserved: `Restart=on-failure` restarts never receive `HostShutdown` treatment because the restarting daemon re-adopts runners and the shutdown hook only runs under systemd stop with a live `stopping` system state check. + +## SSH key generation / rotation + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/host-keys.nix`, `host-activation.nix` + +The framework owns `${cfg.site.keysDir}/_ed25519`. `d2b keys rotate` MUST NOT touch consumer-supplied keys. + +## virtiofsd sandbox model + +**Where:** `nixos-modules/minijail-profiles.nix` (virtiofsdProfiles), `packages/d2b-priv-broker/src/sys.rs` (`clone3_spawn_runner` user-NS path), `nixos-modules/processes-json.nix` (argv emit) + +virtiofsd profiles MUST declare zero host capabilities (`capabilities = []`), `requiresStartRoot = false`, and a `userNamespace` block mapping in-NS UID/GID 0 to the per-share principal.

The shell scripts under `tests/` +are implementation details unless a target or `tests/AGENTS.md` tells +you to run one directly. + +`nix develop` gives you the toolchain every gate expects - the pinned Rust +release, plus sccache, cargo-nextest, cargo-deny, cargo-audit, shellcheck +and jq. The gate scripts each re-enter a nix shell and bootstrap a private +toolchain when those are missing, so working inside the dev shell skips +that setup. + +Rust tests run under `cargo-nextest`. Two surfaces are not nextest surfaces +and get explicit companion runs, so do not "simplify" them away: **doctests** +(several `compile_fail` ones are capability seals) and **`harness = false` +binaries** (`d2b-core-smoke` carries real fail-closed minijail assertions). +The harness-free set is derived from `nextest list` rather than pinned.

It enforces an aggregate process-CPU budget, and nextest's +one-process-per-test model costs about 1.9x the CPU for the same census +(measured: 1.2 s against 2.3 s).

A job is enforcing unless it carries `"enforcement": +"advisory"`; an advisory entry pairs that field with `advisoryReason` explaining +why its successful result is not enforcing evidence. Advisory means the +command is still launched and a nonzero result still fails the run, but a +guarded skip is permitted. Therefore an advisory result must not be cited as +validation evidence for a change. + +The manifest currently classifies `check-tier0`, `check-inventory`, +`test-lint`, `test-changelog`, `test-rust`, `test-proofs`, `test-flake`, +`test-nix-unit`, `test-policy`, `test-drift`, `test-runtime-ledger`, and +`test-fixture-contracts` as enforcing. It classifies +`test-performance-budgets` as advisory. Always re-read the manifest rather than +assuming this split is fixed. + +The performance canary prints `SKIP` and enforces no latency budget unless +`D2B_PERF_STABLE=1`. Promoting it requires a pinned self-hosted runner, setting +that variable on the runner, and then removing the advisory classification and +reason from the manifest. The project does not currently have such a runner. + +The fixture-contract lane runs the fixture-dependent `d2b-contract-tests` +crate and the CLI-contract cases against a built `D2B_FIXTURES` bundle. Both +the local and continuous-integration lanes set `D2B_ENABLE_FIXTURE_BUILD=1`, so +it executes and enforces; invoking it without that variable is a hard failure +rather than a silent skip. It acquires the heavy-gate semaphore before doing +Nix or Cargo work, and `packages/xtask/src/heavy_gate.rs` fails closed if that +guard is ever removed. `test-rust` explicitly excludes the fixture-dependent +`d2b-contract-tests` crate, so a green `test-rust` does not validate that +fixture-dependent contract and policy layer. Selected hermetic policy files +may still have separate enforcing entrypoints such as `test-policy`; inspect +the target driver before claiming coverage. + +Before opening an agent-owned PR, run the host/manual integration +targets on the development host; do not rely on the PR pipeline for +them: + +```bash +make test-integration # Layer 2 container tests; needs podman +make test-host-integration # runNixOSTest VM checks; NixOS + KVM host +``` + +`make test-host-integration` is x86_64-linux only and may fall back to +slow TCG if `/dev/kvm` is absent. Hardware and live-host tests remain +explicit manual tiers and require a host with the matching devices or +deployed d2b state. + +`make test-runtime-ledger` is the hermetic execution-budget Layer-1 job +(also run by `make test-unit` / `make check` through +`tests/layer1-jobs.json`). After a warm build (so compilation is excluded +from measurement), it records per-test wall-clock p95s as advisory +diagnostics and enforces an aggregate process-CPU p95 budget for each pinned +crate. Process CPU excludes time descheduled behind unrelated machine load, +which is why it is the enforced timing basis. The closed census in +`tests/runtime-ledger-census.json` presently pins one crate and exactly 190 +tests; a vanished or extra test, an incomplete or under-repeated run, or an +aggregate crate CPU p95 over budget fails the gate. A per-test diagnostic +threshold breach does not. + +The gate holds no baseline and makes no historical-regression claim. When you +legitimately add, remove or rename a census test, regenerate the pin with +`make runtime-ledger-pin` and commit the result; the pin is a closed set, so +the gate fails until it matches. The `test-runtime-ledger check` output is +authoritative for the exact advisory-report formatting and selection. +Growing the census to a real multi-crate shard inventory (with a per-shard +budget) and adding a cross-machine reference baseline for a true +historical-regression gate is the named deferred follow-up +`runtime-ledger-full-census-and-real-shards`. If its shape here diverges from +the current `Makefile` target or `tests/layer1-jobs.json`, treat those as +authoritative and flag the drift for the integrator. + +## Heavy lanes + +Every Layer-2, host-integration, hardware, live, and perf-heavy command +runs through **one** semaphore, invoked from the repository root as `cargo +run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- heavy-gate`. It grants +two slots per uid via open file description locks so concurrent heavy lanes +cannot oversubscribe the shared Nix store, cargo target directory, or KVM +device. Do not add a second lock file, sleep-and-retry loop, or per-crate +guard. + +The slot namespace is fixed at `/run/d2b-heavy-gates/uid-/`. The root +and per-uid directory are root-owned and non-writable by unprivileged users; +the two `slot-*` files are pre-created for the target uid at mode `0600`. +There is no runtime-directory or temporary-directory fallback. The NixOS +module provisions the root with systemd-tmpfiles, then activation provisions +directories and slots for configured lifecycle users that NSS can resolve. +An unavailable network-backed user is deferred rather than failing +activation; after that user logs in, run `make heavy-gate-provision`. Use +the same target on a host that does not consume the module. Because `/run` +is a tmpfs, run it once per boot when the gate requests it. An absent or +malformed namespace is an environment error with that provisioning +remediation, never permission to create a weaker pool. In particular, +`/run/user/` is rejected because its owner can rename slot names or +their parent and create an independent pool. + +The structure is public-lane-plus-guarded-internal: + +- **Public lane targets** (`make test-integration`, + `make test-host-integration`, `make test-hardware`, `make perf`) acquire + a slot and then delegate to a guarded internal `heavy-lane-*` target. + Run these. +- **Internal `heavy-lane-*` targets** hold the raw work and fail closed + through `heavy-lane-guard` if invoked outside the gate (the gate exports + `D2B_HEAVY_GATE` across its re-exec). Do not run them directly. +- **Convenience wrappers** `make heavy-check`, `make heavy-cargo-test`, + `make heavy-flake-check`, and the `heavy-test-*` aliases run a Layer-1 + gate, the Rust suite, the building flake check, or a public lane under + the same semaphore. + +Run a heavy lane through its public target (or, for an arbitrary command, +`cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- heavy-gate -- +`) whenever another heavy lane might be running; the bare internal +targets stay available only for a serial console. Live-host and hardware +tests obey the same rule: use the gated live-VM smoke entrypoints (`make +pre-tag` for the full gate, `make smoke-lite` for the lite gate) or wrap a +raw live script as `cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask +-- heavy-gate -- env D2B_LIVE=1 bash tests/integration/live/.sh`. + +The `cargo run --manifest-path packages/Cargo.toml` form is deliberate: +there is no root cargo workspace, so the bare `cargo xtask` alias resolves +only when the working directory is `packages/`, and running it from the +repository root fails with `no such command: xtask`. Because cargo config +discovery is cwd-based, invoking `xtask` from the root via `--manifest-path` +silently drops the `sccache` configuration in `packages/.cargo/config.toml`; +that is immaterial for the gate itself. When it matters for a specific +command, `cd packages && cargo xtask ` is the equivalent form - +pick one per command and pass file arguments relative to the directory you +run from. + +Invoking a live script directly is safe but not the documented path: each +one verifies the inherited slot and re-executes itself through the semaphore +exactly once when no genuine slot is held. A bare `D2B_HEAVY_GATE` value is +not trusted, so it cannot bypass the sole-use invariant. +**A new live, hardware, or performance entrypoint must carry that same +self-guard block**, or the fail-closed inventory guard +(`every_live_and_heavy_entrypoint_routes_through_the_gate`) rejects it. + +## Spec-literal lint allowlist + +The ADR 0046 spec-literal lints (`policy_adr046_spec_literals.rs`) enforce +three frozen decisions across `docs/specs/**`: D103 (the single 24-byte +`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZ` datetime spelling), D104 (the single +`.d2bus.org.` ResourceType qualifier infix), and D108 (the integer +`retryAfterMs` retry-delay scalar superseding the old `retryAfter` +duration string). The allowlist is a pinned exact exemption, not an +author-suppressible marker: an inline `d2b-lint-allow` comment is +explicitly **not** honored and will not exempt a line - the lint rejects +that escape hatch by design, because a per-line marker would let any +future author silently suppress a real violation. The **only** exemption +is the decision-register table row that *defines* the rule (the `| |` +row in `docs/specs/ADR-046-decision-register.md`), and that exemption is +pinned to that one file. Everywhere else, including a rejection +illustration, must be phrased so it does not embed the exact rejected +literal; correct the example rather than trying to silence the lint. + +The same policy test checks the seven canonical feasibility measurements +against every Markdown and JSON document under `docs/**` plus `CHANGELOG.md`. +It inventories class-specific measurement signatures globally, including +run and group-commit denominators, the ChangeBatch comparison count, the +crash-boundary count phrase, RSS values with units, and each p95/p99 value +with its unit. Registered sites additionally pin their exact measurement or +qualitative outcome summary. The global scan deliberately does not match bare +numbers such as `13`, `20`, or `48`, because those are common in unrelated +prose. Consequently, a new copy that preserves a canonical number-and-unit, +denominator, or class phrase is rejected even in an unregistered document; a +free paraphrase that omits every inventoried signature remains a review +concern rather than something this lint claims to detect. + +## Envelope policy lint (D116) negative-example marker + +Unlike the spec-literal lints above - which honor no author-suppression +marker at all - the envelope policy lint (`policy_adr046_envelopes`) +recognizes exactly one deliberately narrow exemption. That lint enforces +D116 across `docs/specs/**`: a `Host` or `Guest` whose `allowedDomains` +admits the `user` domain must name a non-null, non-empty `defaultUserRef` +(D116 is frozen in `docs/specs/ADR-046-decision-register.md`). A block that +simply omits it is a real violation and must be corrected. + +The one exception is an **intentional negative example**: a fenced example +(typically a Nix block) authored to *teach* the rule by demonstrating the +eval-time failure that omitting `defaultUserRef` produces. Deleting that +counter-example would lose correct teaching content, so the lint preserves +it - but only under three exact conditions it enforces together, not the +looser "names both `d2b-lint` and `d116`" shape earlier drafts of this +section described: + +- **One exact, case-sensitive marker.** A comment line **inside the fence** + whose text, after its `#` or `//` prefix is stripped, equals the marker + string exactly. The current spelling is `# d2b-lint: expect-d116-eval-error`; + the match is a whole-string, case-sensitive comparison, so a paraphrase or a + comment that merely mentions the `d2b-lint` and `d116` tokens does not + qualify. +- **One pinned file.** The marker is honoured only in the single documenting + file the lint pins (currently `docs/specs/ADR-046-nix-configuration.md`). + The same comment anywhere else exempts nothing and fails closed. +- **Exactly once.** The marker must appear a single time in that file. A + second copy makes the exemption fail closed for the whole file, so every + D116 block there is flagged again. + +This is an unambiguous authoring signal for one intentional-rejection +example, never a general suppression switch. Never reach for it to silence a +D116 failure on a shape that is meant to be valid - correct the shape +instead. `policy_adr046_envelopes` is the authority for the exact spelling, +the pinned file, and the single-occurrence scope; a concurrent hardening may +tighten them further, so if you are adding a legitimate negative example take +the current requirement from that lint, not from this paragraph. + +For where tests live, when to add or retire each kind of test, and +which pins/ledgers to update, read [`tests/AGENTS.md`](../../tests/AGENTS.md). +[`tests/README.md`](../../tests/README.md) is the human quick-start for the +same test model. + diff --git a/docs/contributing/panel-review.md b/docs/contributing/panel-review.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ec155cc07 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/contributing/panel-review.md @@ -0,0 +1,414 @@ +# Panel review + +The panel sign-off contract: the phase gate, how fix rounds are scoped, the +default ten-role roster and each role's focus, and the harness notes for +running the panel under swarm or unattended. + +The binding rules are in [`../../AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md) under "Panel +review": a phase closes only on unanimous sign-off, `signoff` is `true` iff +`recommendations` is `[]`, and green tests never waive the gate.

This keeps panel +review from stampeding the shared Nix store, cargo target, and git +worktrees while parallel implementation agents are still active. + +A panel round after the first is a **delta review**, and its prompt MUST +carry two explicit ranges rather than only the full branch diff: + +- `git diff ..HEAD` - the delta, + which is what the reviewer actually reviews. It is the only thing that + can have introduced a new defect or failed to close an old one. +- `git diff ..HEAD` - the full branch, for context when the delta + touches something whose correctness depends on code outside it. + +The integrator therefore MUST record the tip commit each round reviewed, so +the next round can be scoped against it. A prose summary of what changed is +a statement of intent, not evidence: prompts MUST instruct reviewers to read +the delta themselves rather than trust the summary, because a fix that +silently touched something the summary omits is exactly what a delta review +exists to catch. Prompts MUST also instruct reviewers to verify their own +prior findings against the tree by inspection rather than marking them +closed because the prompt says they were fixed. + +Where the integrator disputes a finding, the prompt MUST state the rebuttal +and its evidence and ask the reviewer to judge it on the merits - explicitly +permitting withdrawal of an incorrect finding, and explicitly not requiring +it. An unfounded finding drives a wrong change into the tree, so sustaining +one to save face is worse than admitting the error; equally, a reviewer must +not withdraw a valid finding merely because the integrator pushed back. + +Any content change to the reviewed tree invalidates every prior sign-off in +that phase, including sign-offs from reviewers whose focus the change did +not touch. Those reviewers still re-report, but their prompt should scope +them to the delta and permit a short confirmation that their area is +unaffected. + +Each engineer returns a JSON sign-off record shaped like: + +```json +{ + "engineer": "software", + "signoff": true, + "summary": "What was reviewed and the overall posture.", + "recommendations": [] +} +``` + +By policy, `signoff` is `true` iff `recommendations` is `[]`. +Otherwise, `recommendations[]` carries the actionable findings. If any +reviewer returns findings, the integrator spawns follow-up +implementation agents, lands the fixes, reruns the tests, and starts +another panel round. Green tests do not waive this gate; a phase closes +only on unanimous sign-off. + +## Fix rounds are scoped to the findings + +A fix round MUST address the findings the panel actually raised, and +nothing else. Do not take a finding as licence to harden the surrounding +area, add coverage the panel did not ask for, or fix an unrelated defect +noticed in passing. File those separately. + +This rule exists because the alternative does not converge. Every +unrequested change is new content, new content invalidates the round's +evidence, and the next round reviews a larger diff that offers more to +find - so the gate recedes while the actual deliverable sits finished and +unmerged. The observed failure mode is a phase gate whose findings drift +from "the specification contradicts the shipped code" to progressively +more peripheral tooling nits, several rounds after the deliverable was +ready. + +Two consequences worth stating outright: + +- A genuine defect discovered while fixing something else is still out of + scope for that fix round.

Those write scratch directories into the worktree, and a + catch-all add commits them. Stage the specific paths the fix touched. + The gitignore is a backstop, not the control - it can only cover + scratch patterns someone already thought of. + +Panel prompts SHOULD state the phase's deliverable and instruct reviewers +to confine findings to defects in the delta that would cause incorrect +behaviour or mask a regression, rather than proposing speculative +robustness work. A reviewer who wants additional hardening should say so +as an observation in the summary, not as a blocking recommendation. + +Escape hatches are narrow: + +- **Swarm-driven work** satisfies the per-round gate with swarm's + five-seat phase council instead of a ten-role panel round. See + [Running the panel under swarm](#running-the-panel-under-swarm). The + substitution covers only the per-round gate; the binding wave panel is + untouched. +- **Trivial fixes** (typo, one-line, no semantic change) may skip the + panel gate. +- **Time-critical hotfixes** (production breakage) may skip the + pre-fix panel, but MUST run a post-fix panel before the incident is + considered closed. +- **Documentation-only changes** may skip the panel gate unless the doc + change describes a load-bearing behavior. + +Autopilot prompts encourage "bias to action." That is in tension with +the panel gate. When in doubt, run the panel. A two-hour panel that +catches one HIGH finding is cheaper than re-doing two days of +integration. + +Canonical precedent: an early observability Wave-1 panel returned +0/8 sign-offs with 11 HIGH findings. `tests/static.sh` caught none of +them. This is the canonical "you can't test your way out of needing a +panel" data point. + +## Concurrent slices share one worktree, so destructive git is banned + +Parallel slices in a wave write to the same checkout. A slice therefore +sees uncommitted files it does not own, and MUST treat them as read-only +evidence rather than as its own stray edits. + +Two commands are prohibited inside a slice: + +- `git checkout -- ` and `git restore ` on any path the slice + does not own. Uncommitted work has no reflog entry and no dangling blob, + so this is an unrecoverable delete of a sibling's work. If a slice + believes it dirtied a file it does not own, it MUST report that rather + than revert it. +- A package-wide or workspace-wide formatter. `cargo fmt -p ` + reformats every file in the package, not the slice's file, which makes + the slice's diff look like it touched files it never opened - and that + false signal is what motivates the revert above. Format the single file + instead. + +The integrator MUST commit each slice's output as it lands rather than +accumulating several slices' work uncommitted, so a mistake costs one +`git checkout` of committed content instead of a rewrite. Where work is +already lost, check the rebase autostash before concluding it is gone: a +rebase run during the wave captures the whole dirty tree, and that has +already recovered one slice's uncommitted output in this program. + +## Default panel + +| Engineer | Focus | +|-------------------|-------| +| `software` | Shell + Nix shape of every new module, daemon instrumentation, idempotency of sidecars, error handling in metric exporters. | +| `test` | Coverage of new option schema, vsock CID collision cases, restart-policy gates, manifest schema drift, and what could regress invisibly. | +| `nixos` | Module wiring, `lib.mkForce` / `lib.mkDefault` correctness, option declarations, systemd unit composition, and activation ordering. | +| `networking` | Network surface changes, firewall posture across envs, DHCP/DNS regressions, bridge isolation, and routing invariants. | +| `security` | Attack surface, host-relay trust posture, capability sets / syscall filters, authz boundaries, telemetry-label PII review, and retention defaults. | +| `rust` | Rust API shape, error propagation, unsafe/FFI boundaries, schema generation, workspace dependency direction, and testability. | +| `product` | Operator UX, naming surface, migration/deprecation policy, default-off opt-in shape, and actionable error messages. | +| `docs` | Diataxis adherence in `docs/{reference,how-to,explanation}/`, CHANGELOG entries, schema md↔json drift, and AGENTS.md updates landing with load-bearing changes. | +| `observability` | Cardinality of metric labels, span attribute hygiene (no secrets/cmd output/store paths), log/audit shape, retention, and dashboard/exporter correctness. | +| `kernel` | pidfd, cgroup, namespace, mount, signal, ioctl, and filesystem semantics; kernel-version assumptions and Linux API edge cases. | + +Older commits and [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) entries may reference +the historical six-engineer security-hardening roster (`nixos`, `rust`, +`software`, `test`, `networking`, `security`) or the earlier +observability-specific roster. The unified default panel above +supersedes both for new work. + +Host-local roster files under `/etc/nixos/scripts/` are operator +configuration and are out of scope for this repository; keep repo docs +focused on the review contract rather than paydro-specific files. + +## Running the panel under swarm + +There are three review surfaces in this repository and they are strictly +ranked. Read this ordering before wiring any harness. + +1. **The binding ten-role panel** - `cargo run --manifest-path + packages/Cargo.toml -p xtask -- delivery wave panel-request` / + `panel-attest` / `seal`. This is the authority for an ADR 0046 wave. + It runs **once, at wave close**, against the wave's one immutable + snapshot, and it is enforced in code by + `packages/xtask/src/delivery/panel.rs`: exactly one record per role + for all ten roles, `signoff` true iff `recommendations` is `[]`, + unanimous ten of ten, every record bound to the same + `candidate_id`/`content_id`/`snapshot_sha256`, and provider/model/ + reasoning effort pinned to `github-copilot` / + `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` / `high`. The panel model is deliberately + not the coding model, so a lane cannot both author a change and + attest to it. There is no override, no force flag, and no partial + pass. + See [`docs/specs/ADR-046-validation-and-delivery.md`](../specs/ADR-046-validation-and-delivery.md) + section 12.3. +2. **The per-round phase panel** - the [Phase gate](#phase-gate) rule + above. Where ADR 0046 restricts the *binding* panel to one per wave, + this rule allows a panel per implementation round. This is the loop + swarm automates. +3. **Swarm's five-seat phase council** - the per-round gate whenever + swarm drives the work. It stands in for surface 2 and has no bearing + on surface 1. + +**Swarm runs surface 2, not surface 1.** Under swarm the five-seat +council is the per-round gate: no ten-role panel round is required +between implementation rounds, which is the whole point of running the +harness. Surface 1 is unchanged, because ADR 0046 section 12.3 already +restricts the binding panel to exactly one run at wave close and never +per implementation round. A green phase council is therefore not a +sealed wave, and `phase_complete` passing is not `delivery wave seal` +passing. + +**The 10 roles at wave close.** The ten-role roster is no longer run +every round. It runs once, at wave close, to produce the records +surface 1 consumes: dispatch one read-only lane per roster role via +`dispatch_lanes_async`, seeded with that role's focus cell from the +table above plus the integrator's validation evidence. Lanes are +read-only by contract, which keeps them off the shared Nix store, cargo +target directory, and heavy gate semaphore. Lane ids are free-form, so +all 10 roles vote independently and each lane's verdict maps one-to-one +onto a `panel-attest` record. + +To keep those records attestable, the reviewing agents must run on the +pinned panel binding. The `panel` entry under `agent` in +`.opencode/opencode.json` pins them to +`github-copilot/gemini-3.1-pro-preview` at reasoning effort `high` and +denies the write, edit, patch, and bash tools, matching the read-only +lane contract above. A lane on any other model produces a record +`panel-attest` will reject, so do not let model fallback silently +downgrade a panel lane, and do not dispatch a panel lane through the +`general` agent - that one is pinned to the coding model +`github-copilot/gpt-5.6-sol` and its records are rejected by design. + +**The per-round council, and what it costs.** +`submit_phase_council_verdicts` has a closed five-member roster +(`critic`, `reviewer`, `sme`, `test_engineer`, `explorer`) and +deduplicates by member, so ten distinct votes cannot be cast against it. +Each seat carries the concerns of the roster roles nearest it: + +| Seat | Covers | +|-----------------|---------------------------------| +| `reviewer` | `software`, `rust` | +| `test_engineer` | `test` | +| `sme` | `nixos`, `networking`, `kernel` | +| `critic` | `security`, `product` | +| `explorer` | `docs`, `observability` | + +A seat MUST NOT return `APPROVE` while any concern it covers is open. +Accept the tradeoff knowingly: five synthesizers can agree where ten +independent reviewers would have dissented, and the observability +precedent above is exactly that failure shape. That is why this council +gates a round and not a wave, and why the ten-role panel still runs +before the seal. + +**Verdict rule.** Swarm's default is more permissive than this file: a +`CONCERNS` verdict carrying only MEDIUM/LOW findings still passes. The +repository rule, and the rule `panel.rs` enforces, is `signoff: true` +iff `recommendations` is `[]`. Set +`council.phaseConcernsAllowComplete: false` so `CONCERNS` blocks like +`REJECT`; that is a required part of the project config. + +**Gate wiring.** Enable the gates before the QA profile locks +(`set_qa_gates` is ratchet-tighter and rejects all writes once critic +approval or drift evidence locks it): + +``` +phase_council, final_council, drift_check, +hallucination_guard, critic_pre_plan, sme_enabled +``` + +`phase_complete` then refuses to close a phase without +`.swarm/evidence//phase-council.json`. + +**Plan review.** Swarm has no gate that blocks dispatch on a +phase-scoped plan panel; `critic_pre_plan` is a single critic, once, +project-wide. Encode the plan gate as work instead: make task `N.1` of +every phase the plan-review task, declare the plan itself as its +acceptance criteria via `declare_council_criteria`, and give every +implementation task in that phase a `depends` edge on it. Per-task +council then enforces the plan gate before any coder is dispatched. + +**Waves and file ownership.** `epic_decide_phase` followed by +`epic_plan_waves` is the direct implementation of the parallelization +graph, and a `declare_scope` call per task is the file-ownership map +described in [Integrator-prep-first pattern](#integrator-prep-first-pattern-w3-onwards). +Record `epic_record_divergence` after each task completes; declared +scope versus files actually touched is calibration data the manual +process never captured. + +## Unattended multi-day runs + +Long plans are expected to run for days with the operator away. Two +things make that work, and one thing makes "zero interaction" +unachievable. + +**Removing the routine prompts.** Set `execution_profile.auto_proceed: +true` on the plan to drop the phase-boundary confirmation, and enable +Full-Auto (`full_auto.enabled: true`, `mode: "supervised"`) so safe +in-scope operations stop asking. Writes to protected paths still route +through the read-only `critic_oversight` agent rather than blocking. + +**Escalation is a pause, not a stop-the-world.** Keep +`full_auto.escalation_mode: "pause"` and `full_auto.denials.on_limit: +"pause"`. `terminate` kills a multi-day run outright; `pause` parks it +recoverably, and `.swarm/` state survives process restarts. + +**Zero user interaction is not achievable, by design on both sides.** +`full_auto.escalation_mode` admits only `pause` and `terminate`, there +is no autonomous mode, and `council.escalateOnMaxRounds` is declared +but not implemented - exhausting `council.maxRounds` without an +`APPROVE` surfaces a message for the operator and refuses to +auto-advance. Surface 1 is stricter still: a wave cannot seal without +ten human-attested records, so the binding panel is a deliberate +human-in-the-loop stop that no configuration removes. That matches this +file's own rule that green tests never waive the gate. Plan for +**batched escalation**: the run parks on unresolved disagreement, +`/swarm status` reports why, and the operator services the queue when +convenient. Raising `council.maxRounds` to 5 lets more disagreements +self-resolve before parking; it does not remove the park. + +**Context.** A days-long session will cross the context budget's +critical threshold. Treat phase boundaries as the handoff points rather +than fighting the guard mid-phase. + +**Heavy lanes.** Advisory panel lanes are read-only and take no heavy +gate slot. Any reviewer explicitly asked to run a validation is subject +to the normal two-slot semaphore in [Heavy lanes](#heavy-lanes), and an +unattended run must not exceed it. + +## Commit-tag mapping + +The tag examples in [Commit conventions](#commit-conventions) use this +mapping, and every commit that comes out of a panel-fix round MUST +carry the relevant tag: + +- `Wn` = wave / phase number from the plan's parallelization graph +- `Wnfu` = first follow-up round on wave `n` after the first panel + findings land +- `Wnfu` = follow-up round `M` on wave `n` when a specific + follow-up round must be named (for example `W5fu1`) +- `CN`, `HN`, `MN`, `LN` = finding ordinal `N`, prefixed by the + severity letter from the JSON output (`critical` → `C`, `high` → + `H`, `medium` → `M`, `low` → `L`) + +Example: `( W1fu1 H3 )` means "wave 1, follow-up round 1, +addresses finding ranked HIGH-3." + +Inline references to a specific commit in prose elsewhere may +use the compact form `(W2fu4 H10)` for readability - that's +shorthand for citing a commit, not the literal trailing tag +that the commit subject must end with. The trailing-tag form +in the commit subject itself always uses the spaced canonical +form (e.g. `... ( W2fu4 H10 )`). + +## Tooling note + +The panel contract is implementation-neutral: any harness that +preserves the roster, the unanimity rule, the no-rerun discipline, and +the two gates per phase is acceptable. + +The in-repo reference implementation is `.opencode/opencode.json`. Its +`agent` table is the tracked, reviewable surface for panel behaviour: +`panel` carries the reviewing binding and the read-only tool set, while +`general` and `explore` carry the coding binding. Change that file in +the same commit as any change to this section. + +The ADR 0046 program does not run swarm. Where this section describes +swarm's five-seat council, treat it as documenting an available harness +rather than the configuration in use; the per-round gate is run +directly, and the binding wave panel is dispatched as ten read-only +`panel` lanes. + +A second, host-local implementation lives in +`/etc/nixos/scripts/panel-review.{md,sh}` and +`/etc/nixos/scripts/panel-aggregate.sh`. That tooling is paydro's +host-specific implementation, not an upstream d2b dependency. In it the +roster is selected per plan via `ENGINEERS_FILE` and each engineer's +focus file comes from `panel-roles/.md`. + diff --git a/docs/contributing/workflow.md b/docs/contributing/workflow.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4d6fe0fb9 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/contributing/workflow.md @@ -0,0 +1,345 @@ +# Development workflow + +How work is organised, validated, and landed: worktrees for parallel agents, +the stacked-PR shape for large waves, the commit-then-validate rule, and the +disk hygiene contract that keeps concurrent worktrees from filling the host. + +The binding one-line rules are in [`../../AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md) under +"Development workflow". This file carries the detail and the rationale. + +## Worktrees for parallel agents + +When several agents (or several humans, or a mix) work on disjoint +scopes concurrently, use git worktrees instead of branching in +place. One worktree per agent keeps each context isolated and makes +the final merge trivial. + +```bash +# From the primary clone, one worktree per concurrent scope: +git worktree add -b phase- ../d2b- main +``` + +Each agent commits inside its own worktree on its own +`phase-` branch. When the scopes are genuinely disjoint +(different files, or non-overlapping regions of the same file), the +integrator does an octopus merge back to `main`: + +```bash +git checkout main +git merge --no-ff phase-a phase-b phase-c +``` + +If two branches touch the same lines, fall back to a normal +sequential merge with conflict resolution - octopus only works for +clean disjoint scopes. + +## Finish-of-work invariant: merge back into the primary clone + +A worktree is a workspace, not a destination. When an agent's scope +is done - implementation green, tests green, panel signed off - the +agent merges the worktree branch back into `main` in the **primary +clone (`projects/d2b`)** before declaring the task complete. +Finished work sitting on a side worktree branch is not done; it is +"awaiting integration", which is a state the agent owns, not a state +the agent leaves for the operator. + +Concretely, the agent that owns a worktree: + +1. Verifies green on the worktree (`cargo test --workspace`, the + relevant `tests/*.sh` gates, panel signoff for plan-driven work). +2. From the primary clone (`/home/paydro/projects/d2b`), + fast-forwards (or octopus-merges, per the rules above) the + worktree's `phase-` branch into `main`. +3. If there is unrelated dirty WIP in the primary clone (operator + was editing in place), stash it, do the merge, pop the stash, + resolve any textual conflicts in a way that preserves both sets + of changes, then leave the operator's WIP unstaged so they can + commit it on their own terms. +4. Audits sibling worktrees (`git worktree list`) for branches + whose tip is unmerged but represents abandoned/superseded work; + flag those for the operator rather than silently dropping them. + +Only after the merge lands does the agent call `task_complete`. + +## Stacked PR workflow for large waves + +Large realm/control-plane waves that are not file-disjoint by default land +through a private stacked-PR workflow, not by direct local merges to `main`. +This is the default for ADR-scale work where one branch defines contracts that +later branches consume. + +Use this shape: + +1. Open one private branch/worktree per independently reviewable slice. Branch + names should describe the wave and scope, for example + `realm-workloads-w13-adr`, `realm-workloads-w14-options`, or + `realm-workloads-w17-wlcontrol`. +2. Stack only when necessary. A later branch may target an earlier PR branch + while it consumes new DTOs, schemas, or option contracts. Branches that do + not depend on each other target `main` directly. +3. Open PRs for every slice. Do not merge locally into `main`, and do not push + directly to `main`. The integrator merges only through GitHub PR flow after + local validation, CI, and required panel/review gates pass. +4. PR bodies must list the change, validation evidence, and any substantive + panel/review outcomes. Do not include AI/tool/model attribution. +5. Review and panel agents inspect code, docs, plans, screenshots, and supplied + validation evidence. They must not run tests or long gates unless the + integrator explicitly asks that reviewer to do so. +6. The integrator owns CI babysitting, retargeting, rebasing, conflict + resolution, merge order, and branch deletion. If a lower PR merges, retarget + or rebase dependent PRs promptly and rerun the smallest relevant validation. +7. When a stack updates host inputs, update `/etc/nixos` only after the upstream + PRs are merged and validated. Then switch the host, restart `d2bd`, verify + runtime/desktop behavior, and commit the host lock/config change separately. +8. If helper scripts are added for stack status, retarget/rebase, or + wait-and-merge behavior, they must use `gh`, avoid direct main merges, and + fail closed on dirty worktrees, failed checks, ambiguous merge state, or + missing validation evidence. + +For stacks that require panel gates, the first PR in the stack usually carries +the contract/ADR/plan update. Do not dispatch implementation PRs for later +waves until the plan/ADR panel returns unanimous signoff. + +## Screenshot and visual artifact hygiene + +Screenshots and other visual artifacts submitted as validation evidence or +committed to the repository must be redacted before use: + +- Remove or black out all secrets, credentials, API keys, and tokens visible in + any terminal, browser, or UI window. +- Remove or replace personally identifiable information (PII): real names, email + addresses, employee ids, user ids, and similar identifiers. +- Replace or black out sensitive command output: stack traces with host paths, + raw error messages with internal node names or realm principals, clipboard + content, and any window title or app metadata that names a real person or + organization. +- Use generic placeholder names (e.g., `alice`, `corp-vm`, `work`) matching the + conventions in the Don'ts section above. + +Do **not** commit unredacted screenshots to the repository. Panel and review +agents may inspect screenshots as part of validation evidence; the same +redaction rules apply when attaching screenshots to PR bodies or panel prompts. +If a screenshot cannot be adequately redacted without losing the information +being demonstrated, use a text description or a synthetic reproduction instead. + +## Local host validation after updating d2b + +When a host configuration switches to a new d2b checkout (for +example a local `path:/home/paydro/projects/d2b` input), the host +switch updates `/etc/d2b/*` and the system packages and may restart +`d2bd`. That daemon restart is a continuation event: VMs must stay +running, protected by `KillMode=process`, and the restarted daemon +re-adopts their runner pidfds. Before runtime validation, make sure the +notify-ready daemon is active on the updated generation: + +```bash +sudo systemctl restart d2bd.service +``` + +Then restart affected VMs with the normal lifecycle commands (on this +host, prefer `d2b down --apply` followed by +`d2b up --apply`; `d2b switch ` is not reliable here). + +## Integrator-prep-first pattern (W3 onwards) + +For waves whose thematic scopes are NOT file-disjoint by default - +W3 host-prepare is the canonical example, with scopes s1-s5 +naturally sharing `packages/d2b-contracts`, `packages/d2b-core` +DTOs, schemas, and `Cargo.toml` workspace pins - the wave is +preceded by an **integrator API/contract prep commit landed +directly on `main`** before any scope worktree is opened. That +prep commit: + +- adds every shared crate, DTO module, broker enum variant, + privileges row, schema regeneration, and `Cargo.toml` + workspace-dep change the parallel scope commits will read; +- carries the canonical trailing tag `( W3 )` (no scope label + inside the parens - scope labels are subject-prefix only, + e.g. `s2 host: reconcile bridge port flags ( W3 )`); +- leaves every scope's owned files untouched so each scope + worktree opens against a stable contract. + +Follow-up rounds use `( W3fu )` for the integrator octopus +merge and `( W3fu H )` for per-finding hardening commits, +matching the W2fu4 H10/H18 canonical-tag rules above. + +The W3 file-ownership map lives in the wave plan +(`~/.copilot/session-state//plan.md` §"W3 file-ownership map" +for the current wave); scope agents read it before opening their +worktree and write only to their listed files. + +## Edit → commit → validate + +Commit before running `static.sh` / the smoke evals. Two reasons: + +1. Untracked files are invisible to `nix flake check` (and to any + eval that follows the same code path). Forgetting to `git add` a + new module is the #1 "why doesn't my change apply?" pitfall. +2. Consumer hosts that vendor d2b tend to ship auto-backup + tooling that catch-all-commits any dirty tree. That's a + consumer-side concern, but the habit of committing-then-building + is the right one to carry into framework work too. + +For plan-driven multi-phase work, green tests are not enough to +advance the work. See [Panel review](#panel-review): the +integrator may not dispatch implementation subagents for a phase, +or begin the next phase, until the relevant panel gate passes. + +## "Existing code is canon" + +When the spec, plan, README, or any reference doc disagrees with the +**code that is actually committed and passing tests**, the code +wins. Document the drift, don't silently re-align the code to the +prose. + +- If you are working in a Copilot CLI session with a `plan.md` + under `~/.copilot/session-state//`, add a row to the + plan's "Spec corrections" table describing the discrepancy and + which side you kept. +- Otherwise, mention the drift in the commit message body + (e.g. `Spec correction: docs/reference/cli-contract.md claimed + exit code 3 for "VM not found"; code returns 2. Kept code.`). + +This rule applies to AGENTS.md too: if you change a load-bearing +behaviour described here, update this file in the same commit. + +## Landing changes (PR workflow) + +`main` is protected: changes land via pull requests, not direct +pushes. Develop on a feature branch (or worktree), validate locally +against the gates above, open a PR, let CI run, then squash-merge. The +detailed wave-tag commit convention in +[Commit conventions](#commit-conventions) applies to in-development +commits on those feature branches; `main` itself is maintained as a +by-release history. + +PR bodies record the change, validation evidence, and substantive +review outcomes only. Do **not** tag or list the AI agent, assistant, or +model used to author or review a change, and do not add PR-template +fields that request panel, agent, or model metadata. + + +## Disk hygiene contract + +- Put every throwaway probe, one-off crate, parser experiment, and debugging + artifact under the gitignored repository-root `.scratch/` directory. + Never place an exploratory file beside production code or tests, where a + catch-all `git add` can sweep it into a commit. +- Test eval expressions MUST resolve the flake via `git+file://$ROOT` + (use the `d2b_flake_ref` helper in `tests/lib.sh`), **never** + `builtins.getFlake (toString $ROOT)`. A bare path makes Nix use the + `path:` fetcher, which copies the ENTIRE working tree into the store - + including the multi-GiB `packages/target` cargo artifacts (measured: + ~36 GB / 5+ min per cold eval, re-triggered every time a cargo build + churns `target/`). `git+file://` copies only git-tracked files + (`target/` is gitignored), turning a 5-minute eval into <1 s. Caveats: + (a) `nix eval` is pure by default and needs `--impure` with git+file; + `nix-instantiate --eval` is impure by default and needs no flag. + (b) When a script captures eval output via `2>&1` into a variable it + then parses (jq, etc.), add `--quiet --no-warn-dirty` so the git+file + `fetching git input` / `Git tree is dirty` stderr diagnostics don't + corrupt the parsed JSON. (c) git+file sees uncommitted edits to + TRACKED files but NOT untracked files - identical to `nix flake check`, + so "commit before building" still holds (see "Edit -> commit -> + validate"). +- Every test script that creates repo-local scratch state MUST use + `d2b_mktemp` from `tests/lib.sh`; do not call raw + `mktemp -d -p "$ROOT"`. +- Per-process bookkeeping (`cleanups.`, `scratch-registry`) + lives in `${D2B_BOOKKEEPING_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/d2b-bookkeeping}`, + NOT in `$ROOT`. Parallel-test timing log/status files live in + `${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/d2b-static-timing.$$/`. Both moves are + required so volatile files can't race + `builtins.getFlake (toString $ROOT)` source-capture during + flake-eval gates (W2fu4 H8/H9). +- Rust worktrees do NOT share a cargo target directory. Each worktree + keeps its own `packages/target/`; compiled-output dedup across + worktrees comes from `sccache` (`$SCCACHE_DIR`, default + `~/.cache/d2b-sccache`), wired by the `[build] rustc-wrapper` lines in + `packages/.cargo/config.toml` and the sibling-workspace configs under + `packages/d2b-priv-broker/`, `packages/d2b-guest-shell-runner/`, and + `packages/d2b-core/fuzz/`. A shared target dir is deliberately + avoided: cargo's target-dir lock is workspace-wide, so two worktrees + building concurrently at different SHAs would serialize pessimistically + and stomp each other's incremental caches. To bypass sccache locally + (e.g. when bisecting a compiler issue), set `RUSTC_WRAPPER=` or + `CARGO_BUILD_RUSTC_WRAPPER=` explicitly. +- **Never clear `RUSTC_WRAPPER` to make a command work.** Every + `rustc-wrapper` line points at a repo-local `.cargo/rustc-wrapper.sh` + that uses sccache when it is on PATH and plain rustc when it is not, so + no environment needs the variable cleared in order to build. Naming + `sccache` directly used to make it a hard requirement, and the resulting + `RUSTC_WRAPPER=""` workaround spread into environments that *did* have + sccache and silently disabled the compiler cache. Clearing it is reserved + for a deliberate choice: running uncached (`D2B_NO_SCCACHE=1`, or CI + without `D2B_CI_SCCACHE=1`), or the compile-fail seal fixtures, which + clear every wrapper spelling because a caching wrapper that exits nonzero + under concurrent cargo invocations is indistinguishable from the fixture + failing for the wrong reason. +- Tests that shell out to `cargo` (the capability-seal guards in + `packages/d2b-bus/` and `packages/d2b-controller-toolkit/`) cache their + scratch trees between runs, keyed on a hash of `rustc -vV`. Compiled + artifacts are not portable across compiler versions, and the gate's + pinned toolchain routinely differs from a dev shell's, so an unkeyed + cache lets one poison the other. Those caches live under `.scratch/` and + are several GB per worktree; delete that directory to reclaim the space. +- The persistent-shell helper is intentionally excluded from the main + Rust workspace at `packages/d2b-guest-shell-runner/`.

Everything here is additive: `.opencode/` is untouched, so the program running against the existing process is unaffected. Thirteen agents, each pinning its own model. The three role agents carry the concurrent-slice rules, the fix-round scoping rule, and the merge ordering that the delivery tooling forces. The ten panel seats are read-only by construction rather than by instruction, because a reviewer with a shell both escapes the evidence staging and puts ten lanes on the shared Nix store and the heavy-gate semaphore. Each seat's checklist is anchored to this repo's actual invariants rather than to generic review advice, which is the point of running ten independent reviewers instead of one. Binding lives in the committed skill tables. That indirection is not a preference: on Copilot CLI 1.0.75, agent frontmatter honours `model` and rejects every spelling of effort and context tier, repo-scope settings filter through an allowlist that excludes `subagents`, and a subagent does not inherit the session's reasoning effort. So an unpinned panel lane runs at the model default while a record would attest the policy level. `reasoningEffort` in frontmatter is the sharp edge: it is accepted with no warning and does nothing, which is exactly the shape that produces a confident false attestation. Three layers defend that. Frontmatter `model` makes a hand-invoked agent fail to the right model rather than inheriting the caller's; `check-bindings.mjs` catches a mispinned or illegal effort before a run; and the record helper takes the observed effort as input and fails closed instead of defaulting to the policy string. --- .github/agents/d2b-architect.agent.md | 94 +++++++ .github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md | 84 ++++++ .github/agents/d2b-integrator.agent.md | 94 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md | 94 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-kernel.agent.md | 103 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-networking.agent.md | 88 ++++++ .github/agents/panel-nixos.agent.md | 93 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-observability.agent.md | 90 ++++++ .github/agents/panel-product.agent.md | 88 ++++++ .github/agents/panel-rust.agent.md | 94 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-security.agent.md | 104 +++++++ .github/agents/panel-software.agent.md | 87 ++++++ .github/agents/panel-test.agent.md | 91 ++++++ .github/skills/d2b-adr/SKILL.md | 135 +++++++++ .github/skills/d2b-autopilot/SKILL.md | 221 +++++++++++++++ .github/skills/d2b-memory/SKILL.md | 123 ++++++++ .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/SKILL.md | 148 ++++++++++ .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs | 212 ++++++++++++++ .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh | 85 ++++++ .github/skills/d2b-wave-delivery/SKILL.md | 126 +++++++++ .specify/memory/deferred-work.md | 19 ++ .specify/memory/engineering-debt.md | 13 + .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 18 ++ changelog.d/copilot-agent-surface.md | 13 + scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 262 ++++++++++++++++++ 25 files changed, 2579 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .github/agents/d2b-architect.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/d2b-integrator.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-kernel.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-networking.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-nixos.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-observability.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-product.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-rust.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-security.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-software.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/agents/panel-test.agent.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/d2b-adr/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/d2b-autopilot/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/d2b-memory/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/SKILL.md create mode 100755 .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs create mode 100755 .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh create mode 100644 .github/skills/d2b-wave-delivery/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .specify/memory/deferred-work.md create mode 100644 .specify/memory/engineering-debt.md create mode 100644 .specify/memory/friction-log.md create mode 100755 scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs diff --git a/.github/agents/d2b-architect.agent.md b/.github/agents/d2b-architect.agent.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b52747268 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/agents/d2b-architect.agent.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +--- +name: d2b-architect +description: Authors ADRs, specs, plans, and wave graphs for d2b.

If the decision +supersedes an earlier ADR, say so in both. + +An ADR is a dated historical record. Wave and phase markers are allowed there, +unlike in shipped docs. + +## How to write a plan + +A plan is a wave graph plus a file-ownership map. Each wave is independently +reviewable and independently mergeable. Waves are sequenced by real dependency, +not by convenience, because the delivery tooling enforces that every item in a +wave is merged before the next wave can open a panel request. + +For each wave state: the deliverable, the scopes and which files each owns, the +validation that proves it, and the mechanically checkable condition that means +it is done. A stopping condition a machine cannot evaluate is not a stopping +condition. + +Where scopes are not naturally file-disjoint, precede the wave with an +integrator prep commit that lands every shared contract the parallel scopes +will read, so each scope opens against a stable base. + +## What good looks like + +Be decisive. Resolve ambiguity by making a defensible assumption, stating it, +and moving on. A plan that hedges every choice is not a plan. + +Be concrete about the thing that will actually go wrong. Generic risk sections +are noise; name the specific failure this design makes possible and the +specific guard that catches it. + +Prefer the smaller design that can be extended over the larger one that +anticipates.

While more than +one branch is in flight, the fragment is the correct form; editing the shared +unreleased block is a guaranteed merge conflict. A fragment with an unknown +heading, a repeated heading, an empty section, or content outside a section +fails the fold and loses the entry. + +**Process markers in shipped artifacts.** Wave, phase, revision, follow-up, +round, and finding tags belong in plans, ADRs, specs, contributor process +docs, and feature-branch commits. They must not appear in shipped source +comments, shipped docs prose, CLI help or error text, workflow and job names, +or any changelog section including the unreleased one. There are two +deliberate functional exceptions where such a token is a real identifier +rather than bookkeeping; a new one needs explicit justification, not silence. + +**Non-ASCII dashes.** Only the ASCII hyphen may spell a dash, anywhere: +source, comments, string literals, help text, docs, ADRs, specs, changelog, +commit messages, PR bodies. Nine codepoints are banned. Where a test +genuinely needs one, it must be spelled as an escape rather than as the +character. This is mechanically gated, so a violation is a build break, not a +preference. + +**Placement.** Consumer documentation follows Diataxis under the reference, +how-to, and explanation trees. Contributor process detail belongs in the +contributing tree, and `AGENTS.md` is a router with a byte budget: new +narrative appended there will fail the ratchet, and the correct move is a +router line plus the detail in a contributing doc. A link from `AGENTS.md` +must resolve. + +**Prose that disagrees with committed, passing code.** The code wins. The +correct response is to document the drift, not to re-align the code to the +prose. Check that the drift was recorded rather than quietly papered over. + +**Schema and prose drift.** A manifest or bundle field added, removed, or +renamed requires the JSON schema, the prose reference, the emitter, a version +bump, and a changelog entry to move together.

Adoption after a restart must +re-discover a runner, open a fresh pidfd, and verify identity before acting. +Persisting a pidfd, or trusting a stale one, is a finding. Ambiguity must +quarantine or degrade rather than proceed. + +**Restart treated as a fresh start.** A normal daemon restart is a +continuation event. A broad sweep of the runtime directory before adoption +kills live work. Recover, adopt, and quarantine before any cleanup. + +**cgroup v2 phase confusion.** Privileged setup legitimately runs as root: +enabling controllers down the cascade, creating the slice and leaves, and +transferring ownership of the delegated subtree. Steady-state mutation after +the privilege drop must not run as root. Look for a write that has drifted +across that boundary. Also: the intermediate layer stays process-free with +processes only in leaves; writing the cpuset partition file on an owned +cgroup, using threaded cgroups, and killing a cgroup that is an ancestor of a +supervised leaf are all forbidden, and the host cgroup root is never chowned. + +**Filesystem edge cases that only appear in production.** Two are documented +here and are exactly the shape to watch for elsewhere: a hardlink across a +mount boundary returns `EXDEV` even when the device is the same, so a +recoverable cross-vfsmount case must be distinguished from a fatal +different-filesystem one; and a saturated link count returns `EMLINK`, which +needs a copy fallback rather than an abort. Generally: check `EINTR`, +`EAGAIN`, `ENOSPC`, `EEXIST`, and short reads and writes, and check that a +retry loop is bounded. + +**Path resolution that can be redirected.** A path walked by string +concatenation, a `stat` followed by an `open` on the same path, and any +resolution that follows a symlink an unprivileged user can replace. Anchored, +fd-relative resolution with the no-symlink and no-magiclink restrictions is +the pattern here; a new path mutation that does not use it is a finding. + +**File descriptor discipline.** Missing `O_CLOEXEC`, an fd leaked across a +spawn, an fd received over a socket without bounded expectations on count, and +ownership of a received fd left ambiguous. + +**Lock semantics.** Advisory locks must be open-file-description locks, not +process-associated ones, because the latter are released by an unrelated close +in the same process. Acquisition must follow a total order, and a lock must +not be held across a blocking operation that can wait on the holder. + +**Namespace and mount setup.** A user namespace whose mapping is written after +the target process has begun executing is not a boundary. Mount propagation +left shared where private was intended leaks mounts to the host. A sandbox +that unshares but does not pivot or chroot still sees the host tree. + +**Signal handling.** A handler doing work that is not async-signal-safe, a +`SIGTERM` path with no bounded escalation to `SIGKILL`, and a graceful wait +with no ceiling. + +**Version assumptions.** A syscall, flag, or cgroup file that requires a newer +kernel than the stated floor, used without a fallback or a documented bump. + +## What is not your seat + +Rust API ergonomics, Nix module wiring, and policy questions about who is +allowed to do something (that is `security`). + +## Reviewing rules + +Review the **delta** you are given.

Loosening a predicate silently converts a +previously-rejected misconfiguration into runtime breakage. If an assertion is +wrong, its predicate should be fixed; if the predicate is right but the message +is misleading, the message should be fixed. Deleting it is never the answer.

Per-VM lifecycle work belongs in the daemon's DAG executor +with privileged effects through a typed broker op.

Labels must be drawn from closed +enumerations: a fixed provider, component, operation, outcome, and error set. +One unbounded label is enough to make a metrics backend unusable, and it is +almost never noticed in review because the happy path emits one series. + +**Sensitive values in observable surfaces.** Store paths, argv, environment, +command output, cwd, socket paths, unit names, PIDs, terminal bytes, shell +names, opaque handles, and any user identifier must not reach a span +attribute, a log line, a metric label, an audit record, or a `Debug` +implementation. Audit records may carry fixed digests and closed enumerations. +Check `Debug` derivations specifically: deriving `Debug` on a struct holding a +path or a credential leaks it everywhere the struct is ever formatted, which +is the most common way this rule breaks. + +**Audit records that lose their properties.** Records are append-only, +root-owned, rotated daily, and retained for a bounded default. A write path +that truncates, reorders, buffers across a crash boundary, or writes outside +the append-only handle breaks the property the audit exists for. Every +privileged effect should produce exactly one record, and a record should be +emitted on failure as well as success. + +**Retention and growth.** New persistent output needs a stated retention and a +mechanism that enforces it. A log directory that only grows is a disk-space +incident with a long fuse. + +**Error paths in exporters and instrumentation.** Instrumentation must never +be able to fail the operation it observes, and it must not silently swallow +its own failures either.

A direct +privileged write, spawn, or `chown` from the daemon or from activation both +escapes the audit trail and escapes the typed dispatcher that grounds the +threat model. + +**Capability mint surfaces.** Admission evidence and attachment credits are +consumed into a single private owner; a clone, a copy, a `Default`, or a +`From` that reconstructs one is a direct path to minting a genuine admission. +The sealing traits and private construction fields are the boundary. Treat any +new public constructor, accessor, or trait implementation on a capability type +as a deliberate trust-boundary change requiring a stated reason, and say so +even if it looks harmless. This boundary has reopened several times by +reappearing exactly where the guard was not looking. + +**Caller-supplied identity.** A subject, uid, or principal taken from the +caller rather than resolved from verified peer evidence is exactly how a +component names itself something it is not. Failing closed because no +authoritative resolver is wired is the intended state, not a bug to fix by +accepting claims. + +**Sandbox profile regressions.** virtiofsd profiles must declare zero host +capabilities, must not require start-as-root, and must run with the chroot +sandbox and inode file handles disabled, with read-only shares actually marked +read-only. Reintroducing host capabilities or the namespace sandbox violates a +recorded decision. Per-runner device allowlists must stay minimal, and a +runner must use its own dedicated principal rather than borrowing a broader +one. + +**Store exposure.** The guest's store must be the per-VM closure-only farm, +never the host's full store. A "simplification" here re-leaks the entire host +store to every guest. + +**Secrets and identifiers in observable surfaces.** Store paths, argv, socket +paths, environment, PIDs, unit names, terminal bytes, shell names, and opaque +handles must not reach Debug, error text, logs, audit records, metric labels, +or span attributes. Audit may carry fixed digests and closed enumerations. + +**State that looks like tampering when lost.** Per-VM TPM state is +identity-bound; a path that recreates it silently rather than failing closed +turns a missing directory into a device-tampering event for the identity +provider. + +**Fail-open error handling.** Any check whose error path permits. + +## What is not your seat + +Metric cardinality as a cost concern (that is `observability`), general Rust +ergonomics, and network policy shape (that is `networking`).

Its output is a merged ADR number. + +## Why this is a separate process + +An ADR is not a stage inside a feature. An architectural decision usually +outlives the feature that provoked it and often lands before anyone knows +which features will consume it, so coupling its lifetime to a feature branch +is wrong for a document the whole repository reads. + +A spec says *what* and *why* in product terms and should not name an +implementation. An ADR decides *how*, and is the thing the `nixos`, `rust`, +`security` and `kernel` seats argue about. So it gets its own run, its own +panel, and its own PR. A feature that needs one cites a merged ADR number the +way it cites any other committed contract. A feature that does not need one +never mentions ADRs at all. + +The practical consequence is that autopilot never has to decide whether an ADR +is required. Either the spec cites one, in which case it is already merged and +readable, or the work does not need one. A run that discovers mid-flight that +it needs an architectural decision parks and records it, like any other +blocker. + +## Procedure + +### 1. Establish that a decision is actually needed + +An ADR records a choice that constrains future work and that a reasonable +engineer might otherwise make differently. If the answer is forced, it is +documentation, not a decision. If it only affects one module and can be +changed freely later, it is a code comment. + +The bar in this repo is roughly: does this change a contract, a trust +boundary, a persistent surface, a wire or schema shape, or an invariant in the +critical-subsystems index? If yes, it is an ADR. + +### 2. Draft + +Dispatch `d2b-architect` (`claude-opus-5`, `xhigh`, `long_context`). Number the +ADR one above the highest in `docs/adr/`. File name is +`NNNN-kebab-case-title.md`. Structure follows the existing records: + +```markdown +# ADR NNNN: + +- Status: Proposed +- Date: YYYY-MM-DD +- Related: ADR NNNN (short name), ADR NNNN (short name) + +## Context + +What is true today, what forces the decision, and what constraints are +non-negotiable.

Ten read-only lanes on a staged diff. +Record the tip commit reviewed, because the next round is a delta against it. + +**5. Fix.** If any seat returned findings, dispatch fix lanes **scoped strictly +to those findings**. A genuine defect found while fixing something else goes +to `/d2b-memory record`, not into this round. Revalidate, then run another +round. Any content change invalidates every prior sign-off in the phase. + +**6. Advance only on unanimous panel plus green enforcing validation.** +Otherwise park. + +**7. PR.** Push the branch, open the PR to `v3`.

So wave N+1 cannot start its gate until wave N has merged. +Running every wave and raising one PR at the end fails at the first seal. This +is forced by the tooling, not chosen. + +## The merge stop + +`v3` is protected and the merge is the point of no return, so by default +autopilot pushes, opens the PR, waits for checks, and then **parks** with the +PR link, the check status and the panel verdict. The operator merges. +Autopilot resumes at the seal. + +That is the right place for a person to be in the loop: the panel verdict and +the CI result are already in front of them. + +`--auto-merge` raises the ceiling for a genuinely unattended run: once +required checks pass and the panel was unanimous, `gh pr merge --auto --squash`. +Off by default, because the repository's own convention is that the integrator +owns merge order and conflict resolution. + +## Stopping + +**Autopilot terminates on a mechanical condition, never on judgement.** The +documented top failure mode for autonomous coding agents is stopping at "looks +done", and per-step reliability compounds badly across a long run. + +Terminate only when **all** of these hold: + +- every `tasks.md` item is checked; +- the relevant **enforcing** Layer-1 jobs are green (never an advisory job); +- the worktree is clean and every slice is committed; +- every wave is merged, and for Track A, sealed. + +Everything else is an **escalation**: pause, write the checkpoint, report the +reason, and stop.

Legacy bare `W0` through +`W8` remain valid and continue to mean program `ADR046`; do not rewrite them. + +Set `ROUND` to the qualified token plus the round ordinal, for example +`spec001w1-r2`. + +### 2. Stage the evidence + +``` +bash .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh <base> <prev-tip> <ROUND> +``` + +`<base>` is the branch base, `<prev-tip>` is the commit the previous round +reviewed, or the base again for round 1. This writes +`.scratch/panel/<ROUND>/` containing `delta.diff`, `full.diff`, +`evidence.md`, and `address.json`. + +The reviewers have no shell. Staging is what lets ten independent lanes see +byte-identical evidence, and it is what keeps them off the shared Nix store, +the cargo target directory, and the heavy-gate semaphore while implementation +is still running. + +Write the integrator's validation evidence into `evidence.md` before +dispatching: the exact commands run and their pass or fail results. State what +was **not** covered too. A reviewer who cannot tell whether the change was +validated is required to raise that as a finding. + +### 3. Dispatch all ten seats in one batch + +Dispatch every row of the table in a single response so the lanes run in +parallel. Each lane's prompt carries: + +- the paths `.scratch/panel/<ROUND>/delta.diff` and `full.diff`, and the + instruction to read them with `view`; +- `.scratch/panel/<ROUND>/evidence.md`; +- for a round after the first, the commit that reviewer last reviewed and the + instruction that **the delta is what they review**, with the full branch for + context only; +- the phase deliverable, so findings stay confined to defects in the delta; +- any integrator rebuttal of a prior finding, stated with its evidence, and an + explicit statement that the reviewer may withdraw an incorrect finding and is + not required to withdraw a correct one; +- the instruction not to rerun tests, builds, evals, or long validations + unless this specific reviewer is explicitly asked to. + +Do not summarise the change and ask reviewers to trust the summary. A prose +summary is a statement of intent. A fix that silently touched something the +summary omitted is exactly what a delta review exists to catch. + +### 4. Collect and record + +Each lane returns one JSON verdict object. Write each to +`.scratch/panel/<ROUND>/verdicts/<seat>.json`, then: + +``` +node .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs .scratch/panel/<ROUND> +``` + +That validates every verdict (`signoff` true iff `recommendations` empty, +seat name in the closed roster, exactly one record per seat, all ten present) +and joins it to the candidate address to produce attestable records. It takes +the **observed** model and effort as input and fails closed rather than +defaulting to the policy string, so a lane that ran at the wrong effort +cannot be attested as if it had not. + +### 5. Report and route + +Render the round report: per-seat verdict, the finding list grouped by +severity, and the tip commit this round reviewed. **Record that tip**, because +the next round is scoped against it. + +If any seat returned findings, the round did not pass. Land scoped fixes, +rerun the smallest relevant validation, and run another round. + +## Rules that bind the integrator, not the reviewers + +**Any content change invalidates every prior sign-off in the phase**, +including from seats the change did not touch. Those seats re-report, scoped +to the delta, and may confirm briefly that their area is unaffected. + +**A fix round addresses only the findings raised.** A genuine defect +discovered while fixing something else is still out of scope for that round; +record it in the memory register and land it separately. Otherwise every round +reviews a larger diff, offering more to find, and the gate recedes while the +deliverable sits finished. + +**Do not run `git add -A` while a gate is running.** Gates write scratch +directories into the worktree. Stage the specific paths the fix touched. + +**Green tests never waive this gate.** The canonical precedent in this repo is +a panel round that returned zero sign-offs with eleven high findings that the +static gate caught none of. diff --git a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs new file mode 100755 index 000000000..55312ca5a --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs @@ -0,0 +1,212 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env node +// Join panel verdicts to a candidate address and emit attestable records. +// +// node make-records.mjs <round-dir> +// +// Reads from <round-dir>: +// address.json written by stage-diffs.sh +// candidate.json {candidate_id, content_id, snapshot_sha256, program, wave} +// observed.json {"<seat>": {model, reasoning_effort, run_id, receipt_locator}} +// verdicts/<seat>.json +// +// Writes <round-dir>/records/<seat>.json, ready for `delivery wave panel-attest`. +// +// This script fails closed.

The Copilot side uses skills mode, so `.github/skills/speckit-*/SKILL.md` invoked as `/speckit-specify`; the opencode side keeps its dotted commands under `.opencode/commands/` byte-identical, because a program is running against them. The import is deliberately by hand rather than by `specify init`. That was trialled on a scratch copy first and does three unacceptable things during the overlap: - it REPLACES `installed_integrations` rather than appending, silently dropping the opencode install the running program uses; - it rewrites shared `.specify/scripts/` and `.specify/templates/`, reintroducing banned dash codepoints into tracked files, which fails `make check-tier0`; - it rewrites a hardcoded command separator in shared error strings, which then misdirects users of the other integration. So the shared trees are untouched, `integration.json` is hand-merged to list both, and the skill text is de-dashed on import. `check-bindings.mjs` grows a coexistence guard that fails if either integration disappears from that array, which is the shape an accidental re-init takes. `integration` and `default_integration` stay `opencode` for the overlap; they select only a cosmetic invoke separator and the standing rule is that the old path wins. Those three hazards are recorded in the friction log rather than only in this message, since the same manual import is required on every spec-kit upgrade. docs/contributing/copilot-agents.md carries the narrative: the two processes and why the ADR runs separately, the authoring and execution sequences, the qualified wave-identifier scheme, the measured binding substrate with its three defensive layers against a silent effort downgrade, and the cutover condition. AGENTS.md gets a router row only; the byte ratchet would reject a section, which is the intended forcing function. --- .github/skills/speckit-analyze/SKILL.md | 259 ++++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-checklist/SKILL.md | 373 ++++++++++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-clarify/SKILL.md | 291 ++++++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-constitution/SKILL.md | 168 ++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-converge/SKILL.md | 277 +++++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-implement/SKILL.md | 223 +++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-plan/SKILL.md | 166 ++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-specify/SKILL.md | 345 ++++++++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-tasks/SKILL.md | 214 ++++++++++ .github/skills/speckit-taskstoissues/SKILL.md | 109 +++++ .specify/integration.json | 9 + .specify/integrations/copilot.manifest.json | 17 + .specify/memory/deferred-work.md | 1 + .specify/memory/engineering-debt.md | 1 + .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 3 + AGENTS.md | 1 + docs/contributing/README.md | 1 + docs/contributing/copilot-agents.md | 269 +++++++++++++ scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 38 ++ 19 files changed, 2765 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-analyze/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-checklist/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-clarify/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-constitution/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-converge/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-implement/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-plan/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-specify/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-tasks/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .github/skills/speckit-taskstoissues/SKILL.md create mode 100644 .specify/integrations/copilot.manifest.json create mode 100644 docs/contributing/copilot-agents.md diff --git a/.github/skills/speckit-analyze/SKILL.md b/.github/skills/speckit-analyze/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..da43f0e61 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/skills/speckit-analyze/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,259 @@ +--- +name: "speckit-analyze" +description: "Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation." +compatibility: "Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory" +metadata: + author: "github-spec-kit" + source: "templates/commands/analyze.md" +--- + + +## User Input + +```text +$ARGUMENTS +``` + +You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty). + +## Pre-Execution Checks + +**Check for extension hooks (before analysis)**: +- Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root. +- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.before_analyze` key +- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally +- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`.

Sequential questioning loop (interactive): + - Present EXACTLY ONE question at a time. + - **Question writing quality (applies to every question, MC or short-answer):** + - Lead with `**Question:**` followed by a full interrogative that ends with `?`. The question text before the `?` must make sense on its own. + - NEVER use a topic label, section heading, or requirement id as the question itself. For example, `Acceptance device/runtime matrix (FR-023)` is INVALID - it is a label, not a question. + - After the `?`, the only permitted suffix is an optional parenthesized requirement/question id. Exact format: `**Question:** <interrogative>?` or `**Question:** <interrogative>? (FR-023)`. Never put the id before the `?`, and never use the id (alone or with a topic label) as the whole prompt. + - Immediately after the question line, add one plain-language "Why it matters" sentence (the stake for acceptance or shipping) before the recommendation/options. + - Use everyday wording; introduce jargon only if defined in the same sentence. Self-check: a reader who does not know Spec Kit must be able to answer from the Question line alone. Terse is fine; cryptic labels are not. + - For multiple-choice questions: + - **Analyze all options** and determine the **most suitable option** based on: + - Best practices for the project type + - Common patterns in similar implementations + - Risk reduction (security, performance, maintainability) + - Alignment with any explicit project goals or constraints visible in the spec + - Present your **recommended option prominently** at the top with clear reasoning (1-2 sentences explaining why this is the best choice). + - Format as: `**Recommended:** Option [X] - <reasoning>` + - Then render all options as a Markdown table: + + | Option | Description | + |--------|-------------| + | A | <Option A description> | + | B | <Option B description> | + | C | <Option C description> (add D/E as needed up to 5) | + | Short | Provide a different short answer (<=5 words) (Include only if free-form alternative is appropriate) | + + - After the table, add: `You can reply with the option letter (e.g., "A"), accept the recommendation by saying "yes" or "recommended", or provide your own short answer.` + - For short-answer style (no meaningful discrete options): + - Provide your **suggested answer** based on best practices and context. + - Format as: `**Suggested:** <your proposed answer> - <brief reasoning>` + - Then output: `Format: Short answer (<=5 words). You can accept the suggestion by saying "yes" or "suggested", or provide your own answer.` + - After the user answers: + - If the user replies with "yes", "recommended", or "suggested", use your previously stated recommendation/suggestion as the answer. + - Otherwise, validate the answer maps to one option or fits the <=5 word constraint. + - If ambiguous, ask for a quick disambiguation (count still belongs to same question; do not advance). + - Once satisfactory, record it in working memory (do not yet write to disk) and move to the next queued question. + - Stop asking further questions when: + - All critical ambiguities resolved early (remaining queued items become unnecessary), OR + - User signals completion ("done", "good", "no more"), OR + - You reach 5 asked questions. + - Never reveal future queued questions in advance. + - If no valid questions exist at start, immediately report no critical ambiguities. + +6. Integration after EACH accepted answer (incremental update approach): + - Maintain in-memory representation of the spec (loaded once at start) plus the raw file contents. + - For the first integrated answer in this session: + - Ensure a `## Clarifications` section exists (create it just after the highest-level contextual/overview section per the spec template if missing). + - Under it, create (if not present) a `### Session YYYY-MM-DD` subheading for today. + - Append a bullet line immediately after acceptance: `- Q: <question> → A: <final answer>`. + - Then immediately apply the clarification to the most appropriate section(s): + - Functional ambiguity → Update or add a bullet in Functional Requirements. + - User interaction / actor distinction → Update User Stories or Actors subsection (if present) with clarified role, constraint, or scenario. + - Data shape / entities → Update Data Model (add fields, types, relationships) preserving ordering; note added constraints succinctly. + - Non-functional constraint → Add/modify measurable criteria in Success Criteria > Measurable Outcomes (convert vague adjective to metric or explicit target). + - Edge case / negative flow → Add a new bullet under Edge Cases / Error Handling (or create such subsection if template provides placeholder for it). + - Terminology conflict → Normalize term across spec; retain original only if necessary by adding `(formerly referred to as "X")` once. + - If the clarification invalidates an earlier ambiguous statement, replace that statement instead of duplicating; leave no obsolete contradictory text. + - Save the spec file AFTER each integration to minimize risk of context loss (atomic overwrite). + - Preserve formatting: do not reorder unrelated sections; keep heading hierarchy intact. + - Keep each inserted clarification minimal and testable (avoid narrative drift). + +7. Validation (performed after EACH write plus final pass): + - Clarifications session contains exactly one bullet per accepted answer (no duplicates). + - Total asked (accepted) questions ≤ 5. + - Updated sections contain no lingering vague placeholders the new answer was meant to resolve. + - No contradictory earlier statement remains (scan for now-invalid alternative choices removed). + - Markdown structure valid; only allowed new headings: `## Clarifications`, `### Session YYYY-MM-DD`. + - Terminology consistency: same canonical term used across all updated sections. + +8. Write the updated spec back to `FEATURE_SPEC`. + +9. **Re-validate Spec Quality Checklist** (if it exists): + - Check if `FEATURE_DIR/checklists/requirements.md` exists. + - If it does NOT exist, skip this step silently. + - If it exists: + 1. Read the checklist file. + 2. Identify all GitHub task-list checkbox lines - lines matching `- [ ]`, `- [x]`, or `- [X]` (case-insensitive, tolerant of leading whitespace for nested items) outside of code fences. Ignore all other content (headings, notes, non-checkbox bullets, metadata). + 3. For each checkbox line, record its current marker state (checked or unchecked) and item text into a before-snapshot list. + 4. Re-evaluate each checkbox item against the **updated** spec (the version just saved in step 7). + 5. For each checkbox item, update only if the checked/unchecked state actually changes: + - If the item now passes and was unchecked: change `[ ]` to `[x]`. + - If the item now fails and was checked: change `[x]`/`[X]` to `[ ]`. + - If the state is unchanged: leave the marker as-is (preserve existing case to avoid cosmetic diffs). + 6.

Then use the GitHub MCP server's `list_issues` tool to look for issues that already cover those IDs. Do not pass a `state` value, since omitting it makes the tool return both open and closed issues. Request `perPage: 100` to keep the number of calls down, and since the tool uses cursor-based pagination, request pages with the `after` parameter (using the `endCursor` from the previous response). For each issue title, match it against the task ID pattern `\bT\d{3}\b` (word boundaries so tokens like `ST001` or `T0010` are not matched by mistake; this also recognises titles written as `T001 ...`, `T001: ...` or `[T001] ...`) and, when it matches one of your task IDs, mark that ID as already having an issue. Stop paginating as soon as every task ID has been matched, or when there are no more pages, so you do not keep fetching the whole repository's issue history once all task IDs are accounted for. This bounds the number of calls on repos with large issue histories and still prevents duplicates when the command is re-run after `tasks.md` is regenerated or the skill is re-invoked. +1. For each task in the list, use the GitHub MCP server to create a new issue in the repository that is representative of the Git remote. Task lines in `tasks.md` start with a markdown checkbox, so first strip the leading `- [ ]` (and any `[P]` / `[US#]` markers) to recover the task ID and its description.

Its output is a merged ADR number.

When that session is bound +to `claude-opus-5` at `xhigh` with `long_context`, it already carries the +architect binding and no dispatch is needed. When it is not, dispatch +`d2b-architect` explicitly for `specify` and `plan`. + +## Executing it + +``` +/d2b-autopilot +``` + +One command runs every stage of every wave, including the seal and the memory +fold. Per wave: dispatch implementer lanes per the file-ownership map, run the +wave's validation, dispatch the ten-lane panel on the staged diff, route +findings into scoped fix lanes, revalidate, commit with the correct trailing +tag, push, open the PR, wait for checks, merge, seal, record wave memory, +advance. Between waves it writes a checkpoint, so `--resume` continues after a +context handoff. + +It stops on a mechanical condition, never on judgement. + +**One PR per wave, merged before the next wave starts.** This is forced by the +delivery tooling, not chosen: `seal` requires every item in the current wave +to be merged, and the wave exit boundary requires every prior wave to be +merged, so wave N+1 cannot open a panel request until wave N has merged. A +design that runs every wave and raises one PR at the end fails at the first +seal. + +**The merge is the one designed stop.** `v3` is protected and the merge is the +point of no return, so autopilot parks with the PR link, the check status and +the panel verdict, and the operator merges. `--auto-merge` removes even that +stop, at the cost of the operator no longer seeing each wave before it lands. + +## Wave identifiers + +A wave is a **qualified token**: lowercase, program and wave fused, no +separator. + +``` +adr046w1 spec001w1 spec001w3fu2 +``` + +The program is part of the token rather than a separate path component, +because the delivery state layout is `<state root>/<wave>/<candidate id>/...` +and the program is not a path component. With one program that is harmless; +with two, `w1` of each names the same state directory. Fusing them makes +uniqueness intrinsic to the token, so it survives being copied into an +artifact reference, a commit subject, a panel record, or a checkpoint, none of +which have a path structure to lean on. + +A measured side effect: the qualified lowercase form passes the process-marker +scanner cleanly, while a bare `W1` is flagged and survives today only through +a narrow hardcoded exception plus the legacy path allowlist. New work in the +qualified form needs no exception at all. + +**The legacy form keeps working, indefinitely.** `--program ADR046 --wave W1` +is valid, is not deprecated, is not warned on, and is not on a timer. A bare +`W0` through `W8` continues to mean program `ADR046` and continues to write to +its existing state directory. No existing snapshot, seal, record or history +proof is moved or re-addressed, because re-addressing a wave would invalidate +the candidate digests that bind its records. Only **new** programs use the +qualified form. + +A qualified token whose embedded program disagrees with an explicit +`--program` is rejected as the inconsistency it is. The closed-set property is +preserved rather than loosened: the program component must match a strict +pattern and the ordinal must still be `0` through `8`, so no free-form +operator string can reach a state directory name or structured output. + +## How the model binding actually works + +This is the part that is easy to get wrong, and the failure is silent. + +### Measured behaviour of Copilot CLI 1.0.75 + +Every claim below was verified against the installed CLI by creating real +files and observing actual behaviour. Several contradict published guidance, +so re-verify on every CLI upgrade. + +| Mechanism | Result | +| --- | --- | +| `model:` in agent frontmatter | **Honoured.** | +| `tools:` in agent frontmatter | **Enforced.** A panel agent has no shell. | +| Task-tool `model`, `reasoning_effort`, `context_tier` at dispatch | **Causal.** Per lane, inside one session. | +| `effortLevel:` / `contextTier:` in frontmatter | Warned and ignored. | +| `reasoningEffort:` in frontmatter | **Accepted with no warning, and inert.** | +| `model` in repo-scope `.github/copilot/settings.json` | Not honoured. | +| `subagents` in repo-scope settings | Not honoured; the allowlist excludes it. | +| `--agent <name>` over ACP | **Ignored.** Works only in print mode. | +| Subagent inherits session reasoning effort | **No.** It falls to the model default. | +| Agent with no frontmatter `model`, dispatched bare | Inherits the **parent session's** model. | + +### What follows from that + +**Dispatch parameters are the binding.** They live in the committed skill +tables, which is why those tables are the configuration rather than +documentation of it. + +**Nothing modifies the operator's settings.** Per-lane binding was measured +sufficient with no `subagents` block in either scope. + +**Frontmatter `model` is kept even though the tables always pass it**, because +the fallback behaviours differ and one is dangerous. An agent that omits +`model` and is hand-invoked inherits the caller's model, so a panel seat would +run on the architect's model and be attested as Gemini. An agent that pins it +still runs Gemini and only loses the effort, which the record helper catches. +One line per agent converts a false model attestation into something requiring +two independent mistakes. + +**The residual risk is the silent downgrade.** An unpinned panel lane runs at +Gemini's default `medium` while a record attests `high`. That produces a +plausible-looking artifact rather than an error, which is the worst shape a +failure can take on an attestation gate. Three layers defend it: + +1. the dispatch tables, which make it rarely happen; +2. `scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs`, which rejects a mispinned or illegal + effort before a run; +3. the record helper, which takes the **observed** effort as input and fails + closed rather than defaulting to the policy string. + +`gemini-3.1-pro-preview` supports `low`, `medium` and `high` only, so `high` +is both the policy and the ceiling for the panel. + +### Running check-bindings + +``` +node scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +``` + +It fails on: an agent with no binding row, an effort or tier a model does not +support, a panel row disagreeing with the delivery policy constants, a seat +missing from the roster or one not in it, a panel agent granted write tools, +any effort-like key in frontmatter, a frontmatter and table model +disagreement, and a repo-scope settings file carrying keys that scope cannot +honour. + +## Panel seats + +Ten agents, one per roster role, each with its own domain checklist anchored +to this repository's invariants. They are **read-only by construction**: +`tools: [view, grep, glob]` removes shell entirely, so they cannot run a +build. That is better than instructing them not to, and it keeps ten lanes off +the shared Nix store, the cargo target directory, and the heavy-gate +semaphore while implementation is still running. + +Evidence is pre-staged so every reviewer in a round provably sees +byte-identical bytes: + +``` +bash .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh <base> <prev-tip> <round> +node .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs .scratch/panel/<round> +``` + +Ten separate reviewers is a deliberate cost. This repository's own history is +the argument: an early panel returned zero sign-offs with eleven high findings +that the static gate caught none of, and the five-seat council is documented +as a known synthesis risk where five synthesizers can agree where ten +independent reviewers would have dissented. + +## Delivery memory + +Three registers under `.specify/memory/`, driven by `/d2b-memory`. +Classification metadata only: never transcripts, validation output, or +attestation payloads. + +The rule that keeps them from becoming a graveyard: **a category recurring +across three waves stops being friction and becomes a task.** That is a count, +not a judgement. + +Critical and high panel findings are never deferrable and never auto-filed. +They are fixed in the round that raised them. + +A defect discovered while fixing something else goes into a register, not into +the current fix round.

That is harmless while ADR046 is the only program, but the moment a second one exists its `W1` and ADR-046's `W1` name the same state directory, and a bare `W1` in a panel record or a commit tag stops being unambiguous. The canonical form becomes one lowercase token fusing program and wave, with no separator: `adr046w1`, `spec001w1`. Fusing them rather than adding a `<program>/<wave>` path component makes uniqueness intrinsic to the identifier, so it survives being copied into an artifact reference, a commit subject, a panel record, or a checkpoint, none of which have a path structure to lean on. It also needs no state-layout change, which is what keeps the in-flight program safe. Backwards compatibility is absolute, and is asserted rather than asserted-in-prose: - `--program ADR046 --wave W1` keeps working, is not deprecated, and is not on a timer. `the_legacy_wave_namespace_is_unchanged` pins the accept and reject sets verbatim. - `a_legacy_wave_addresses_its_existing_state_directory_unchanged` proves every `W0`..`W8` still resolves to its existing directory byte for byte. Re-addressing a wave would invalidate the candidate digests binding its existing snapshots, seals, and panel records, so this is the test that matters most. - `both_wave_forms_yield_the_same_ordinal` pins the ordering that enforces "wave N+1 waits for wave N to merge" across both forms. - `two_programs_with_the_same_ordinal_do_not_collide` demonstrates the collision the scheme exists to prevent. The closed-set guarantee is kept for the legacy namespace and stated honestly for the new one: a qualified token is a bounded lowercase ASCII alphanumeric string, so it still cannot express a separator, a traversal, an absolute path, a control character, whitespace, uppercase, or an unbounded length. The parser matches on a byte slice pattern rather than slicing at a byte offset, because a byte-offset split of arbitrary operator input can land inside a multi-byte character and panic; multi-byte rejection cases are pinned. A qualified wave whose embedded program disagrees with `--program` is rejected as the inconsistency it is, rather than letting either side silently win and write state under an address nobody asked for. Spec correction: an earlier draft added a `wave_forms` field to the `help` stage's state object to document both forms. That field is reachable from the pinned wire fingerprint, whose gate requires a `DELIVERY_SCHEMA_VERSION` bump for any field change, and `ensure_schema` matches the version exactly - so the bump would make every existing ADR-046 artifact unreadable. Documenting a string is not worth breaking the running program, so the field was dropped and the same information lives in the rejection message and in docs/contributing/copilot-agents.md. --- .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 1 + packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs | 232 +++++++++++++++--- packages/xtask/src/delivery/storage.rs | 46 ++++ .../xtask/src/delivery/work_item_state.rs | 42 +++- 4 files changed, 291 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/.specify/memory/friction-log.md b/.specify/memory/friction-log.md index 984003ee1..8e2ac21b3 100644 --- a/.specify/memory/friction-log.md +++ b/.specify/memory/friction-log.md @@ -19,3 +19,4 @@ row lands, it gets promoted into the plan. | spec-copilot-w3 | build | 2026-07-31 | `specify init` replaces `installed_integrations` rather than appending, silently dropping a coexisting install | 1 | filed-guard | | spec-copilot-w3 | build | 2026-07-31 | `specify init` rewrites shared `.specify/scripts` and `.specify/templates`, reintroducing banned dash codepoints into tracked files | 1 | open | | spec-copilot-w3 | codegen | 2026-07-31 | Shipped spec-kit skill text carries banned dash codepoints and must be de-dashed on every import | 1 | open | +| spec-copilot-w3 | codegen | 2026-07-31 | Delivery help output is pinned by a wire-fingerprint golden, so even a documentation-only field needs a schema bump that would invalidate in-flight artifacts | 1 | resolved | diff --git a/packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs b/packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs index 7618c1362..9e81e0d86 100644 --- a/packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs +++ b/packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs @@ -685,45 +685,131 @@ pub fn validate_identifier(value: &str, label: &str) -> Result<()> { Ok(()) } -/// The one delivery program this tooling serves: ADR 0046.

Per-lane binding is carried by the skill dispatch tables, so an ordinary toad or `copilot` session already binds every role correctly, which is the whole point of putting the tables in committed files. The launcher exists only for an unattended run with no terminal: it pins the session binding, the continuation and credit ceilings, and the log destination, so a multi-day run cannot quietly drift or bill without bound. Three guards, all negative-tested rather than assumed: - A dirty worktree is refused. An unattended run that starts on top of somebody else's uncommitted work cannot tell its own diff from theirs, and the panel round would then review both. - A protected branch is refused with the worktree command to use instead. - `check-bindings.mjs` runs before the session starts, because a mispinned effort is a silent downgrade that produces a plausible-looking panel record rather than an error. Flag names verified against the installed CLI rather than taken from documentation: `--mode autopilot`, `--no-ask-user`, `--max-autopilot-continues`, `--max-ai-credits`, `--log-dir`, `--resume=<id>` all exist as used. `bind-subagents.mjs` from the plan is deliberately not shipped. Its only purpose was to write per-agent pins into the operator's `~/.copilot/settings.json`, and dispatch parameters were measured sufficient with no settings block in either scope. Shipping a tool whose sole function is to modify operator settings, when nothing depends on it, adds a maintenance surface against an explicit requirement that the setup not touch that file. --- scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh | 117 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 117 insertions(+) create mode 100755 scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh diff --git a/scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh b/scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh new file mode 100755 index 000000000..a272edb34 --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh @@ -0,0 +1,117 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env bash +# Headless autopilot runner. +# +# Interactive work does NOT need this script.

Specifically: agent frontmatter is the only working declarative model pin; repo-scope settings honour neither `model` nor `subagents`, whose allowlist was read out of the binary; no frontmatter spelling of effort applies, and `reasoningEffort` is accepted with no warning while doing nothing, which is the shape that produces a confident false attestation; `--agent` is ignored over ACP; and a subagent does not inherit session effort. That last pair is why the record spends space on the silent downgrade. An unpinned panel lane runs at the model default while its record would attest `high`, producing a plausible-looking artifact rather than an error on the gate that seals a wave. The ADR names all three defending layers so none is removed later as redundant. panel-review.md now names the Copilot files as the reference implementation and records `.opencode/opencode.json` as the frozen legacy binding retained for the in-flight program, with the explicit rule that the legacy surface wins any disagreement until the cutover.

That +process was wired for **opencode**: spec-kit was installed with +`integration: opencode`, the panel existed as a single generic subagent in +`.opencode/agents/panel.md` whose one prompt served all ten roles, and +`AGENTS.md` named `.opencode/opencode.json` as the reference implementation +for panel behaviour. + +The operator drives Copilot, frequently over ACP, where interactive commands +such as `/model` are not reliably available. Model selection therefore has to +be declared in committed files rather than chosen at a prompt. + +Two properties of the existing gate make that requirement sharp rather than +cosmetic. `packages/xtask/src/delivery/panel.rs` attests each record's +`provider`, `model_version`, and `reasoning_effort`, pinned to +`github-copilot` / `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` / `high`. And the panel model is +deliberately not the coding model, so a lane cannot both author a change and +attest to it. A record that claims a binding the lane did not actually run at +is therefore not a cosmetic error; it is a false attestation on the gate that +seals a wave. + +A large ADR-046 program is running against the opencode path concurrently, so +nothing here may change its behaviour. + +## Decision + +Make Copilot the canonical definition surface. Thirteen agents under +`.github/agents/` and five d2b skills under `.github/skills/` define the +process; `.opencode/` is frozen byte-identical and remains authoritative until +an explicit cutover. + +### The binding mechanism + +Everything below was **measured against the installed Copilot CLI 1.0.75** by +creating real files and observing actual behaviour.

This is the most dangerous shape available, because it looks applied. +- Repo-scope `.github/copilot/settings.json` honours neither `model` nor + `subagents`. Its keys pass through a fixed allowlist compiled into the CLI: + `model`, `remoteControl`, `enabledPlugins`, `extraKnownMarketplaces`, + `permissions`, `shellShortcut`, `strictKnownMarketplaces`, `telemetry`, + `allowedMcpServers`, `deniedMcpServers`. `subagents` is absent, so the block + that works at user scope is silently dropped at repo scope. There is no + `--settings` or `--config` flag. +- `--agent <name>` is ignored over ACP. It binds a session in print mode only, + so a launcher-per-role design does not work on the transport in use. +- A subagent does **not** inherit the session's reasoning effort. With a parent + at `claude-opus-5:xhigh`, an unpinned Gemini lane ran at `medium`, that + model's own default. +- An agent with no frontmatter `model`, dispatched with no parameters, inherits + the **parent session's** model. + +Therefore: **dispatch parameters carry the binding**, and the binding table +lives in the committed skill markdown. Frontmatter `model:` is kept as well, +even though the tables always pass `model` explicitly, because the two failure +modes differ. An agent that omits `model` and is hand-invoked runs on the +caller's model; an agent that pins it runs the right model and loses only the +effort, which the record helper catches. One line per agent makes a false model +attestation require two independent mistakes. + +Nothing modifies the operator's `~/.copilot/settings.json`. Per-lane dispatch +was measured sufficient with no `subagents` block in either scope. + +### Defence against the silent downgrade + +An unpinned panel lane runs at `medium` while its record would attest `high`. +That failure produces a plausible-looking artifact rather than an error, which +is why it gets three layers rather than one: + +1. the committed dispatch tables, which make it rarely happen; +2. `scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs`, which rejects a missing row, an + illegal effort for a model, a disagreement with the delivery policy + constants, or any effort-like frontmatter key, before a run starts; +3. the record helper, which takes the **observed** effort as an input and fails + closed rather than defaulting to the policy string. + +### Panel agents are read-only by construction + +Copilot agent frontmatter has no per-command permission allowlist, so +opencode's "allow `git diff*`, deny the rest" does not translate. The ten panel +agents instead declare `tools: [view, grep, glob]`, and the panel skill +pre-stages `delta.diff` and `full.diff` for them to read. This is stronger than +granting a restricted shell: it is mechanical rather than prompt-enforced, it +keeps ten lanes off the shared Nix store and the heavy-gate semaphore, and +every reviewer in a round provably sees byte-identical evidence. + +### Verdicts are authored by agents; records are assembled by a helper + +`PanelRecord` is a fourteen-field `deny_unknown_fields` struct requiring +`candidate_id`, `content_id`, `snapshot_sha256`, `output_sha256`, `run_id`, and +`receipt_locator`. A reviewing agent cannot know those digests. Each agent emits +only the verdict object the repository already uses, and a bundled helper joins +it to the candidate address. Prompts stay small, digest handling stays in one +testable place, and `packages/xtask/src/delivery/` is not modified. + +### Ten agents, not one + +Each role gets its own agent with its own domain checklist anchored to this +repository's invariants. The cost is deliberate. An early panel here returned +zero sign-offs with eleven high findings that the static gate caught none of, +and the five-seat council is already documented as a synthesis risk where five +synthesizers agree in places ten independent reviewers would have dissented. + +### spec-kit authors; the d2b skills execute + +spec-kit ships a workflow runner with a rich step vocabulary and per-step +`model`, which is tempting for the panel. It is the wrong tool here for one +concrete reason: every step is dispatched as a subprocess and there is **no +per-step reasoning effort**; the only knob is process-global. A panel whose +records attest `reasoning_effort: high` cannot be driven by a runner that +cannot set effort per lane. So spec-kit authors the artifacts through +in-session slash commands, and the d2b skills execute the work through +in-session Task lanes where all three parameters bind per lane. + +spec-kit is installed in **skills** mode rather than the default markdown mode, +which keeps roughly twenty spec-kit agents out of `.github/agents/` and avoids +the `--agent` dispatch that ACP ignores. + +### The ADR process stays separate + +An ADR is its own run with its own PR and its own merge, not a stage inside a +feature. An architectural decision usually outlives the feature that provoked +it and is often consumed by several. A feature cites a merged ADR the way it +cites any other committed contract, and autopilot therefore never has to decide +whether one is required. + +### Qualified wave identifiers + +Delivery state is laid out as `<state-root>/<wave>/<candidate-id>/...`, in which +the program is **not** a path component. With one program that is harmless; +with two, each program's `W1` names the same directory. The canonical wave +identifier becomes a single lowercase token fusing program and wave with no +separator: `adr046w1`, `spec001w1`. Fusing rather than adding a path component +makes uniqueness intrinsic to the token, so it survives being copied into an +artifact reference, a commit subject, a panel record, or a checkpoint, none of +which have a path structure to lean on, and it requires no state-layout change. + +## Consequences + +The legacy form is unaffected and stays valid indefinitely. `--program ADR046 +--wave W1` is not deprecated, not warned on, and not on a timer; every +`W0`..`W8` still resolves to its existing directory byte for byte, asserted by +a test rather than by prose. ADR 0046 runs to completion in the legacy form, +because re-addressing a wave would invalidate the candidate digests binding its +existing snapshots, seals, and panel records. + +The closed-set guarantee is kept exactly for the legacy namespace and stated +honestly for the new one. A qualified token is a bounded lowercase ASCII +alphanumeric string, so it cannot express a separator, a traversal, an absolute +path, a control character, whitespace, uppercase, or an unbounded length. It is +a strict pattern rather than a nine-element set, and that is the one property +that genuinely widens. + +`AGENTS.md` was 122,662 bytes and is injected into every session on every turn +by both harnesses, which made it the largest fixed context cost in the +repository. It is now an index of about 35 KB routing to `docs/contributing/`, +with a byte ratchet in `policy_docs.rs` that fails the next append which would +re-bloat it. No rule was deleted: a prohibition never moves, only its rationale +does. + +One PR per wave, merged before the next wave starts, is forced by the delivery +tooling rather than chosen. `seal` requires every item in the current wave to be +merged and the wave exit boundary requires every prior wave to be merged, so +wave N+1 cannot open a panel request until wave N has merged. + +If a future CLI honours effort in agent frontmatter or at repo scope, the +indirection here collapses to one line per agent.

The shellcheck sweep used `-maxdepth 1` under `scripts/`, so the new `scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh` and the panel skill's `stage-diffs.sh` were never linted. The sweep now also descends `scripts/copilot/` and `.github/skills/`, taking the script count from 17 to 19. `check-bindings.mjs` now runs as part of the same gate rather than by hand. Folding it into an existing target instead of adding a linter is deliberate: the repository's standing rule is against new tooling, and the check reads committed files only, so it costs nothing. It belongs in a gate rather than in a habit because the failure it catches is a mispinned dispatch table, and a panel lane dispatched without an explicit reasoning effort silently runs at the model default while its record would attest the policy level. That is a false attestation on the wave-sealing gate, not a warning. Both arms fail closed on a missing interpreter or a missing script rather than skipping. --- tests/test-lint.sh | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tests/test-lint.sh b/tests/test-lint.sh index 28b0b83e8..a586ae507 100755 --- a/tests/test-lint.sh +++ b/tests/test-lint.sh @@ -58,7 +58,13 @@ if ! command -v shellcheck >/dev/null 2>&1; then fi fi mapfile -t sh_files < <( - find tests scripts harness/ubuntu -maxdepth 1 -name '*.sh' -type f 2>/dev/null | sort + { + find tests scripts harness/ubuntu -maxdepth 1 -name '*.sh' -type f 2>/dev/null + # The Copilot agent surface keeps its scripts one level deeper, under + # scripts/copilot/ and inside each skill directory, so the maxdepth-1 + # sweep above does not reach them. + find scripts/copilot .github/skills -name '*.sh' -type f 2>/dev/null + } | sort -u ) if [ "${#sh_files[@]}" -eq 0 ]; then fail "shellcheck: no .sh files found" @@ -67,4 +73,23 @@ fi shellcheck --severity=warning -x "${sh_files[@]}" ok "shellcheck (${#sh_files[@]} scripts)" +# --- copilot agent bindings ---------------------------------------------- +# Reads committed files only.

This is the scoped fix round; it addresses those findings and nothing else. It is one commit rather than eighteen because the findings collapse into five statements, and splitting a single statement across a docs file, an agent prompt and a validator would make the diff harder to review rather than easier. The AGENTS.md split lost three prohibitions, not just their rationale. Four seats independently found that the ownership-marker conventions, the cgroup delegation forbidden surfaces, and the screenshot-redaction rule were moved wholesale into the non-auto-loaded contributing tree. The governing principle was that a prohibition never moves and only its rationale does, so this restores all three as compact imperative Don'ts while the reasoning stays relocated. Restoring the full prose would defeat the exercise and breach the byte ratchet; restating the rule costs a line each. The same split truncated table cells naively. Eight Where cells were cut mid-brace-expansion, so rows named paths that do not exist, and six risk sentences ended mid-word. Both are repaired; no ellipsis truncation remains. check-bindings.mjs was fail-open in four places. A missing model.rs, an unparseable policy constant, and an unknown model in either an agent frontmatter or a skill row all warned and continued. A validator that warns on the input it cannot read is not a validator, and the specific consequence here is a false attestation, so all four now fail closed. Each was negative-tested by breaking it deliberately. make-records.mjs and stage-diffs.sh wrote records non-atomically and accepted unbounded reviewer free text. Records now write-then-rename, and summaries and individual findings carry a character ceiling so a record stays a verdict rather than becoming a transcript. The panel skill claimed a reviewer could report its own binding. It cannot: in this very round five of ten seats named a model other than the one the harness dispatched. observed.json is now documented as harness-sourced only, which is the sole trustworthy input. make-records.mjs now has real coverage, since it produces the artifacts that seal a wave and was previously exercised only when a round happened to run. Twenty-one cases in scripts/copilot/test-make-records.mjs, wired into the existing test-lint arm rather than a new gate, and mutation-tested by disabling the effort guard to confirm the suite fails. The memory registers' category and disposition vocabularies are now enforced by check-bindings.mjs. This immediately caught a row this branch had itself written with disposition "filed-guard", which does not group with "filed" and would have silently broken the three-wave escalation count. Also: the networking and nixos seat prompts gained the invariants their reviewers found missing, the qualified commit-tag grammar is documented alongside the legacy forms, and autopilot prunes its run logs. Validation: make test-lint, make check-tier0, make test-policy, make test-fixture-contracts, cargo test -p xtask (399), policy_docs (12).

Both now carry the pid in the temporary name and clean up on failure; stage-diffs.sh returns non-zero from stage() rather than continuing with a half-written diff. observability H1: the autopilot log pruner globbed and word-split the directory listing, so a log directory whose name contained whitespace was removed by prefix. Pruning is now null-delimited end to end. Verified against 26 directories including one with an embedded newline: exactly five kept, the newline-named directory intact, no partial-path removal. observability H2: the fold-target wave pattern accepted any token ending in a digit, so a malformed target reached the register unflagged. It now carries the documented grammar. rust H1: six constants mirrored from packages/xtask/src/delivery/ were free to drift from their Rust sources, which would make a record the helper considers valid and the sealer rejects. check-bindings.mjs now reads both sides and compares them, including a check that the reviewer free-text ceilings stay no looser than MAX_STRING_BYTES. All five mirrors negative-tested. networking H1: the Net VM row in the critical-subsystems index had a truncated Where cell naming a path that does not exist, and a risk sentence cut mid-word. Repaired, and every remaining table cell in the file was checked programmatically for balance and truncation. Also corrects the qualified wave tokens in the three memory registers. Nine rows carried a hyphenated program component, which the grammar does not admit; this is the same defect the docs seat raised against the commit subjects, which was fixed branch-wide but not in the registers. check-bindings.mjs now enforces the grammar on the register wave column, so it cannot recur. --- .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs | 16 ++- .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh | 19 ++- .specify/memory/deferred-work.md | 2 +- .specify/memory/engineering-debt.md | 2 +- .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 17 ++- AGENTS.md | 2 +- scripts/copilot/autopilot.sh | 10 +- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 132 +++++++++++++++++- 8 files changed, 174 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs index adaab3862..b112f85cb 100755 --- a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs +++ b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ // path that produces a plausible-looking artifact rather than an error. import { createHash } from "node:crypto"; -import { existsSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, readdirSync, renameSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs"; +import { existsSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, readdirSync, renameSync, unlinkSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs"; import { join } from "node:path"; // Mirrors packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs. @@ -221,9 +221,17 @@ mkdirSync(outDir, { recursive: true }); // otherwise sit at its final path and be consumed as a complete attestation. for (const r of records) { const final = join(outDir, `${r.role}.json`); - const tmp = `${final}.tmp`; - writeFileSync(tmp, `${JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)}\n`); - renameSync(tmp, final); + // The temp name carries the pid so two concurrent rounds cannot stomp each + // other's partial write, and it is removed on the error path so a failure + // leaves no residue for a later reader to mistake for a record. + const tmp = `${final}.${process.pid}.tmp`; + try { + writeFileSync(tmp, `${JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)}\n`); + renameSync(tmp, final); + } catch (e) { + try { unlinkSync(tmp); } catch { /* the write itself failed; nothing to clean */ } + throw e; + } } const findings = records.filter((r) => !r.signoff); diff --git a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh index c00cfbea7..0c7a64cce 100755 --- a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh +++ b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh @@ -36,11 +36,19 @@ mkdir -p "$out/verdicts" # Write-then-rename every artifact.

H1 and H2 are the software seat's, both in the panel round's staging script. `stage()` removed its temporary when the *generating command* failed but not when the *rename* failed, so a full disk or a permission error on the final `mv` exited under `set -e` with the temporary still sitting next to its destination. That is the identical residue defect the previous round closed for `address.json` and for the record helper, left behind in the one path neither touched. The rename now cleans up and returns non-zero like every other failure route. The same patch had duplicated the comment block above `stage()` rather than replacing it, leaving three stale lines that described an older design; those are gone. H3 is the rust seat's. The record helper mirrors seven values out of the Rust delivery crate, and the previous round pinned six of them. The seventh is the seat roster, which is an array rather than a scalar and so needed its own comparison instead of fitting the existing table. An unguarded roster is the worst of the seven to lose: a short one writes a record set missing a seat and the gate rejects the wave for an absence nobody can explain, and a long one attests a seat the roster does not contain. It is now compared element-wise and in order, because the two agree on order today and a reordering is itself drift worth surfacing. Each fix was negative-tested rather than reasoned about. The roster guard was checked against a dropped seat, a reordered roster, and a roster the parser cannot read, and it fails closed on all three. The rename cleanup was checked by shimming `mv` to fail: the fixed script exits non-zero and leaves nothing behind, and reverting the fix under the same shim leaves the temporary, which is what makes the check load-bearing rather than decorative. --- .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh | 11 +++++---- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 23 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh index 0c7a64cce..552f1fa78 100755 --- a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh +++ b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/stage-diffs.sh @@ -33,14 +33,12 @@ prev_sha="$(git rev-parse "$prev")" out="$root/.scratch/panel/$round" mkdir -p "$out/verdicts" -# Write-then-rename every artifact.

That shape can stop matching without anything else changing, and a guard that no longer matches fails open in silence rather than announcing itself. It sits on the attestation path, where the consequence of failing open is an incomplete record set discovered at seal time, so it earns a test that proves it still fires. test-check-bindings.mjs builds a fixture holding exactly the inputs the gate reads, mutates the helper roster, and asserts both a nonzero exit and a substring from the roster diagnostic. Exit status alone would pass if the gate failed for an unrelated reason, which is precisely how a dead guard hides. The baseline case is load bearing for the same reason: without it a fixture broken by something else would satisfy every negative case vacuously. Verified by mutation. With the roster block deleted from the gate, four of five cases fail and the baseline still passes, so the failures are attributable to the guard rather than to the fixture. Scoped to the finding. The scalar constant mirrors share a loop and are not parsed by their own regex, so extending the harness to them is recorded in deferred-work rather than done here. --- .specify/memory/deferred-work.md | 1 + scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 162 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test-lint.sh | 19 +++ 3 files changed, 182 insertions(+) create mode 100644 scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs diff --git a/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md b/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md index a9846c701..09084e287 100644 --- a/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md +++ b/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md @@ -18,3 +18,4 @@ They are fixed in the round that raised them. | Wave | Category | Date | Statement | Disposition | Ref | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | copilotw3 | build | 2026-07-31 | `specify init` not run in-repo; skills imported additively instead, so a spec-kit upgrade needs the same manual import | open | | +| copilotw6fu4 | test | 2026-07-31 | `test-check-bindings.mjs` covers the seat-roster guard only; the scalar constant mirrors share a loop and have no negative case | open | | diff --git a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6f5ea8a6d --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs @@ -0,0 +1,162 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env node +// Coverage for the seat-roster drift guard in check-bindings.mjs. +// +// node scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs +// +// Why this exists, and why it is narrow. `make-records.mjs` mirrors the sealed +// roster in `packages/xtask/src/delivery/model.rs` as a plain array, and +// check-bindings.mjs compares the two.

Batched deliberately, and the reason is a dependency rather than convenience. H2 derives the roster out of the fixture, which is only sound if the fixture is a faithful copy of what the gate reads; that faithfulness is exactly what H1 establishes. Landing H2 alone would derive from a fixture not yet known to mirror the gate, and landing H1 alone would require a commit that still carries the hardcoded roster H2 exists to delete, so the split would manufacture an intermediate state containing a defect the panel has already sustained. Reviewing them together is reviewing one statement: the harness must track its own inputs, both the files it copies and the roster it perturbs. H1, from the test seat. The fixture listed only the gate's required reads. `check-bindings.mjs` also reads `.github/copilot/settings.json` behind an `existsSync` guard, and an optional read left out of the fixture does not announce itself the way a required one does: the gate simply skips the block and the baseline still passes. The file does not exist today, which is precisely why omitting it was a trap rather than a harmless simplification. Optional inputs are now listed separately and copied when present. Demonstrated. With a `.github/copilot/settings.json` carrying "subagents" placed in the repo, the real gate fails, the fixed harness fails its baseline in agreement with it, and the previous revision reports five of five passing against a repository whose gate is red. H2, from the rust seat, which rejected the justification rather than only the code. The harness hardcoded the roster and the evidence claimed a stale copy would be caught by the baseline case. That is false: the baseline mutates nothing, so it never evaluates the array at all. The roster is now read out of the fixture, which removes the third copy instead of documenting it. Demonstrated by reordering the roster consistently in both model.rs and make-records.mjs. The derived harness passes five of five, genuinely perturbing the roster the repository uses. The hardcoded revision passes its baseline, passes the dropped-seat and extra-seat cases vacuously against a roster no longer in use, and fails the reordered case with a message describing a defect that is not the one present. Also assert that a mutation changes the file, so a rewrite that produced the original text names itself instead of being reported as the guard failing to fire. --- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 91 +++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 76 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs index 6f5ea8a6d..258abaf02 100644 --- a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ // It is a plain node script with no test framework because the repository does // not add tooling for one gate.

Sustained. Two consequences, and the seat named the sharper one: an unconditional copy of a path the repo is allowed to drop throws ENOENT, which is the same defect the previous commit fixed for `settings.json`. Demonstrated by moving `.specify/integration.json` aside. The corrected classification passes five of five; the previous one dies with an ENOENT stack trace before running a single case. The comment is rewritten to state the rule the split actually encodes. It previously claimed every required entry announces itself through a baseline failure, which was false for the two entries above, and a comment that replaces one false claim with a subtler one is worse than the original. Classification is now taken from measurement rather than from reading a call site, because reading one call site is what produced the error. A probe that omits each declared input in turn and records whether the gate hard-fails reports six required and three optional, matching this list exactly. That probe also overturned an intermediate revision of this commit: `.github/skills` looks optional, since the directory scan is skip-guarded like the other two, but the required record helper lives inside that tree, so omitting the directory hard-fails after all. It stays required, and the reasoning that nearly moved it is now a comment so the next reader does not repeat it. --- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 35 +++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs index 258abaf02..f1590fd9e 100644 --- a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs @@ -35,32 +35,39 @@ const here = fileURLToPath(new URL(".", import.meta.url)); const root = join(here, "..", ".."); // Everything check-bindings.mjs reads, as repo-relative paths.

Two of them, in series, both of the fail-open kind this branch keeps finding. The disposition was read as the last cell of the row. The three registers do not share a column shape: deferred-work.md carries a trailing Ref column, so that read took the ref and validated nothing. Every disposition in that register had been unchecked since the guard was written. Locate the column from the header instead, and fail closed when a header names no Disposition column at all. That change then rejected a real friction-log row, because the row splits on "|" and the statement quotes a shell pipeline as "\|". The escape is one extra cell to a naive split, shifting every column after it. Split on unescaped pipes and unescape the cell text. Both are pinned by cases rather than by a hand-run, since a comment is not a test. Each is discriminating: the trailing-Ref case gives the appended row a ref that is itself a legal wave token, so the old last-cell read accepts it, FAIL a bogus disposition is rejected even behind a trailing Ref column: expected exit 1, got 0 and the escaped-pipe case gives the row a Recurrence value that is a legal disposition, so a shifted read lands on it. The intermediate state, header lookup with a naive split, misreads the real register the same way: error: .specify/memory/friction-log.md:25: disposition "1" is not in the closed set This is coupled to the finding rather than separate from it: the register row that records H1 as resolved cannot be written until the gate reads the column it claims to read. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 26 +++++++++++++++-- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index 6a38d5752..e35533e7c 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -469,11 +469,30 @@ for (const reg of ["friction-log.md", "deferred-work.md", "engineering-debt.md"] const path = join(memoryDir, reg); if (!existsSync(path)) continue; const lines = readFileSync(path, "utf8").split("\n"); + // Locate the disposition column by its header rather than assuming it is + // last.

These are one change rather than three, because they are all the same question, and splitting them would ship an intermediate that reads a row correctly by one measure and wrongly by another. The body names each so the batching is reviewable. The fallback was the defect. When no header had been seen the parser fell back to the last cell, which is the exact behaviour this guard was written to replace: a data row above any header, or a register with no header at all, was validated against its trailing Ref column, and a ref that happens to be a legal wave token passes. There is now no fallback. An unaddressable row is rejected, as is a row shorter than the header's disposition index. The index also resets at every line that is not a row, so one table cannot lend its shape to the next. The split was wrong in both directions. A lookbehind for one backslash treats `\|` correctly but refuses to split after `\\`, so a cell ending in a literal backslash fuses with its neighbour and the row falls short of the disposition index, where it was skipped in silence. Walking the row handles both: `\|` is a literal pipe, `\\` is a literal backslash and does not protect what follows. Both are pinned by discriminating cases, against the gate as it stood at 57a2d58c: FAIL a bogus disposition is rejected in a row whose cell ends in a backslash: expected exit 1, got 0 FAIL a row that precedes any header row is rejected rather than guessed at: expected exit 1, got 0 The third case covers the header-with-no-Disposition-column invariant, which was asserted last round and never exercised. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++--- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 53 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index e35533e7c..d2cf186d8 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -464,6 +464,41 @@ const TARGET_WAVE = /^(W[0-8]|[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,15}w[0-8])$/; // disposition column keeps the stricter pattern above. const ORIGIN_WAVE = /^(W[0-8]|[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,15}w[0-8])(fu[1-9][0-9]?)?$/; +// Split one Markdown table row into cells. +// +// A naive split on "|" is wrong in two directions and both fail open.

Markdown does not require one, so a row written without it lost a real column. The width test that followed then skipped any row left with fewer than four cells, and skipping is the wrong verb: it bypassed the wave check and the category check as well as the disposition check, so a short row was not partially validated but wholly unvalidated. Only an empty leading or trailing cell is dropped now, which is the artefact the outer pipes actually produce. The header records its width alongside its disposition index, and a data row of any other width is rejected rather than skipped. That rejection closes a second way through, in the opposite direction, which the finding did not name but which the same test now covers. An unescaped pipe inside a cell adds a column, so the header's index lands one cell to the left. In this register that is the Recurrence column, whose vocabulary overlaps the disposition vocabulary, so a row could present a legal value there while its real disposition went unread. Both directions are the same defect, a row whose columns do not line up with the header it is validated against, and both are covered because a fix for one that left the other open would not be a fix.

They are one commit because they are one question, whether a row was actually looked at, and each is a hole in the same enumeration rather than three separate features. A register written without leading pipes is a valid Markdown table that this parser cannot see: every line fails the leading-pipe test, no header is ever found, no row is ever reached, and the gate reports success over a file it did not read. The absence of a header is now itself the failure, which is the only honest report available when nothing was validated. A data row whose first cell reads Wave was taken for a header. It was skipped unvalidated, and worse, it redefined the column shape for every row beneath it. Only the first header of a table defines it now; a later Wave-leading row is data and is validated as such. An empty cell short-circuited its own check. Wave, category and disposition were each guarded by a truthiness test that treated a blank as nothing to verify, so a row could omit all three and pass. They are mandatory, and a blank one is now named as missing. The Ref column stays optional and unvalidated, which is deliberate: two committed rows legitimately leave it empty.

A count of what passed cannot distinguish a check that ran from one that quietly stopped running, which is precisely how that row went unnoticed for eight rounds. The gate now names the number of register rows it validated beside the agents and binding rows. A register that is missing, unreadable, or shaped so that no row is reached used to leave the success line unchanged; the count moves instead. The harness now prints how many cases it ran out of how many it holds, and how many it skipped. The skip is legitimate, since an optional input absent from the repo has nothing to classify, but it belongs in the tally rather than scrolled off above it. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 5 ++++- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 11 +++++++++-- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index 1d7025444..f1f01d5d8 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -623,4 +623,7 @@ if (errors.length) { console.error(`\ncheck-bindings: ${errors.length} error(s)`); process.exit(1); } -console.log(`check-bindings: ${agents.size} agents, ${rows.length} binding rows, all consistent`); +console.log( + `check-bindings: ${agents.size} agents, ${rows.length} binding rows, ` + + `${registerRows} register rows, all consistent`, +); diff --git a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs index 17e219af8..8d01461ec 100644 --- a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs @@ -445,10 +445,12 @@ function classificationCases() { const ALL_CASES = [...CASES, ...classificationCases()]; let ran = 0; +let skipped = 0; for (const c of ALL_CASES) { if (c.skip) { console.log(`skip ${c.name}`); + skipped += 1; continue; } const dir = buildFixture(c.omit); @@ -479,8 +481,13 @@ for (const c of ALL_CASES) { } } +// Report what did not run alongside what did.

That is useful to a reviewer following the rounds and useless to the next person to open the file, who needs to know what the code guarantees now, not what it once failed to. Each affected comment is rewritten to state the invariant. The escape handling says what an escape means rather than how a naive split misread one; the register loop says that every row is addressed against the header above it or refused, rather than recounting the fallback that used to guess; the policy reader says it fails closed rather than describing the version that warned. The comments that explain a non-obvious reason are kept, because they still answer a question the code cannot: why the mirrored constants are pinned here, and why a follow-up round is a legal origin but not a legal fold target.

The security seat found that a row which lost its leading pipe reads as prose: it is skipped before any check runs, and because some earlier table in the file had already set the sawHeader flag, the gate still exited 0. The observability seat found that a register file which is absent entirely is skipped the same way, and that the success line reports only a bare row count, so nothing in the output distinguishes a missing register from a small one. Both are the gate claiming to have validated content it never opened. Every pipe in these registers belongs to a table, so a line carrying an unescaped pipe without a leading one is now refused as a malformed row rather than passed over as prose; the escape rule matches the one splitRow already uses. An absent register is refused outright, because all three are the memory this process runs on and an absent one is an unrecorded gap rather than an empty register. That reclassifies .specify/memory from an optional input to a required one, which the harness measures rather than asserts, so the classification case for it now expects a hard failure. Both changes are demonstrated against the previous gate: the pipeless row exits 0 there, and so does the omitted register directory. Splitting these would land a commit that closes one half of a single invariant, so it is offered as a batch and the panel is invited to reject it. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 17 +++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index f301c16fd..340c170d0 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -496,11 +496,32 @@ function splitRow(line) { return cells; } +// A row is recognised by its leading pipe, so a row that lost one reads as +// prose and would be skipped unread.

The lost-row check rejected any unescaped pipe on a line without a leading one. Every register today happens to satisfy that, which is what made it look safe, but it forbids a shell pipeline in a sentence and any fenced example holding a pipe. The remedy the message offered made it worse: escaping the pipe as \| renders the backslash literally and corrupts the text. Identify the shape instead of the character. A lost row either ends with an unescaped pipe while carrying more than one, which is how every register row is written, or carries one while a table is open above it, since a line between two rows is not prose. A sentence matches neither. A fence closes the table above it and its contents are skipped, because a table cannot span one. Four cases: both lost-row shapes are still rejected, and the pipeline and the fenced row-shaped line both pass. All four fail against the previous gate, the last two for exactly the reason reported. One boundary is now stated in source rather than hidden: a table written with neither outer pipe, immediately following a valid table, is not distinguishable from prose.

Splitting them would put the two lines of the read in separate commits. A file written with lone CR line endings parsed as a single line. Its first cell was a valid header, so the header check passed and every data row beneath it went unchecked while the gate exited 0. That is the exact fail-open the last two rounds closed elsewhere, reached by a file encoding rather than by a malformed table. Split on all three line endings. A register path that is a directory passed the existence check and then threw EISDIR out of readFileSync, so the gate crashed instead of reporting which register was wrong.

Round 13 asked whether the rest of them have one, naming six that do not, and the answer was no: most of the gate's failures named the defect and stopped there. An author who trips one has to read the validator to learn what edit fixes it, which is the same defect the round-12 finding described, only wider. Every fail() now ends in an imperative naming the edit. The lost-row message also stops saying the line must be "clear of the table", which does not say what to do, and says to separate it from the table with a blank line, which is exactly the mechanism the parser implements. Both findings come from the product seat and are one pass over one class of message, so they are batched.

A fence left open at end of file swallowed every line after it, including a whole table, and the run passed. A fence opened between two rows of a table swallowed the rows beneath it. A register emptied of every row but its header passed with the count simply going down, so deleting the register's contents was indistinguishable from never having written them. Each is now refused. The row count is per register, so a header with nothing under it is a failure rather than a smaller number. Measured against the previous commit: the unterminated fence and the empty register both exited 0 there. The fence opened inside a table did exit 1, but on the unrelated complaint that the row below it precedes a header, because the fence had reset the table state. The assertion on the message text is what distinguishes those two, and it is why the case is worth having. The findings come from the test and observability seats. They are batched because they are one statement -- the gate does not pass over rows it did not read -- and splitting them would put three halves of that statement in three commits. Reject the batching and they separate cleanly. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 24 +++++++++++++ scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 48 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 72 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index f413a871c..2a6f2b672 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -571,10 +571,20 @@ for (const reg of ["friction-log.md", "deferred-work.md", "engineering-debt.md"] let headerWidth = -1; let sawHeader = false; let inFence = false; + let rowsHere = 0; for (const [i, line] of lines.entries()) { // A table cannot span a fence, and a fenced example may legitimately hold // pipes, so a fence closes the table above it and its contents are skipped. + // Opening one mid-table is not that: it silently swallows the rows beneath + // it, so it is refused rather than skipped. if (/^\s*(```|~~~)/.test(line)) { + if (!inFence && dispositionIdx >= 0) { + fail( + `.specify/memory/${reg}:${i + 1}: a fenced block opens inside a table, so ` + + `every row it encloses is skipped unread.

That is wrong, and the docs seat is right to say so. These registers open with a markdown title, so a fused file begins with a hash and never reaches the header check at all: it is refused as a lost row, or leaves sawHeader false. The exit status was never 0. The defect the split fixes is real -- not one row in such a file is read as a row -- but it is caught today only incidentally, by two checks aimed at something else. A register written without a leading title would fuse into a line whose first cell is a valid header, and that one would have passed until the preceding commit began refusing a header with no rows under it. The evidence supplied to round 13 carried the same wrong claim; the correction is recorded here rather than only in the next round's notes. --- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 12 ++++++++---- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs index 2a6f2b672..79a712968 100755 --- a/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs @@ -552,10 +552,14 @@ for (const reg of ["friction-log.md", "deferred-work.md", "engineering-debt.md"] ); continue; } - // Lone CR is accepted as a line ending rather than silently swallowed: a file - // written that way would otherwise read as a single line whose first cell - // happens to be a valid header, and every data row beneath it would go - // unchecked while the gate exited 0. + // Lone CR is accepted as a line ending rather than silently swallowed.

Product independently asked for the check to be removed, on the grounds that an empty register is a valid zero state. Security offered two ways out and this takes the second: implement the escape hatch the message claimed. A line reading exactly <!-- d2b-register: intentionally empty --> makes emptiness something an author stated rather than something the gate cannot tell apart from a truncation. The marker is refused once the register has rows again, because one left behind would licence the next truncation silently. The other half of both findings is rebutted rather than implemented, and the panel is asked to judge the rebuttal. Removing the check would restore the state observability raised in round 13: a register emptied by accident passes, and the row count simply goes down with nothing to compare it against. It is not a lifecycle action here either. The memory skill disposes rows in place -- folded, filed, resolved, wontfix -- and its first triage rule is to count a category's rows across three waves, which needs the history to still be there. Nixos reached the same conclusion this round from the register shapes. So a register at zero rows means the history was lost, unless the author says otherwise, which is now expressible. Security also found the unterminated-fence message did not say where the fence opened. It now names the line. Two findings from two seats are batched because the second is one line inside the same block of end-of-register checks the first rewrites.

The harness now declares the marker once and every case uses it. The test seat rejected the previous round's relaxed assertion. It was weakened from an exact line number to a substring because the fixture register is shorter than the repository's, and the integrator verified the real number by hand instead. A hand check is not repeated, so an off-by-one would go unnoticed - which is the whole defect the line number was added to fix. The case now writes a register of known length, so the expected line is a property of the case rather than of however long the register happens to be, and the exact value is pinned. The test seat also named four uncovered properties of the marker, all of which the security seat had relied on when it signed off. Each is now exercised: recognised around surrounding whitespace, ignored inside a fence, unable to excuse a register with no header at all, and harmless when repeated. Batched because the six findings are one change to one file: introducing the shared constant is what the new cases are written against, and splitting them would produce five commits that cannot be read apart. Rejecting the batching is reasonable if the panel would rather see the constant land alone. Each case was shown to discriminate by mutating the gate and confirming only that case fails: reporting i instead of i + 1 fails the line-number case with "opened on line 6"; dropping the trim fails the whitespace case; honouring the marker before the fence guard fails the fenced case; letting the marker short-circuit the header check fails the no-header case; and treating a repeat as an error fails the repetition case. 44 cases, 43 run, 1 skipped, all pass. --- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 122 ++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 115 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs index 0da665f67..a2197cf21 100644 --- a/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs +++ b/scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs @@ -95,6 +95,12 @@ const OPTIONAL_INPUTS = [ const HELPER = ".github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs"; +// The marker a register uses to declare that it is empty on purpose.

A convention that exists only inside the code checking it is not discoverable: an author reaching an empty register learns the marker exists by tripping the failure, and nothing tells them the marker must be removed once rows return. The d2b-memory skill owns the registers, so the rule now sits beside the disposition vocabulary it follows from, and states the three things the diagnostics cannot: that a register does not shrink on its own because rows are dispositioned in place, that the marker excuses an absent row and never an absent table, and that it must be removed when the first row returns. The changelog fragment described the gate without mentioning that it reads the registers at all, so neither the parse requirement nor the marker reached a reader of the release notes. Both are consumer-facing: they constrain how anyone maintaining a register has to write it. Batched because the two findings are one omission described twice - the marker was missing from both places a reader would look, and the wording has to agree between them. make test-lint and make check-tier0 both pass.

Six rows, recorded after the round-16 gate closed unanimously, so this commit carries register data and no reviewed content. Two are about the panel harness itself and both are recurring. A lane dispatched through the generic subagent type keeps its shell even though the seat's own agent file grants only view, grep and glob, and one lane used it to write probe files into the repository root; the tool restriction binds only when the agent is invoked as itself. Separately, a seat returns an empty response and casts no vote unless its prompt explicitly forbids it, which happened three times and is invisible unless the tally is counted rather than assumed. Two are about how findings arrive. A prompt that mandates auditing a whole class of diagnostic produced a finding naming four sites that already complied, because the seat read each message's first clause and stopped. And two seats asked to delete a check that two other seats had just defended, which no amount of weighing the seats could settle; it took evidence from a third file. One is a real gap in the tooling: a coverage case cannot discriminate against the commit before it, because the behaviour it covers already existed. Proving such a case is not vacuous needs a deliberate mutation of the gate and a restore afterwards, done by hand five times in this branch, and no target automates it. The last is the disk incident. Copying the packages tree to build an out-of-tree probe pulls the cargo target with it and had consumed 34 GB before it was stopped; the working fixture is 600 KB. The gate reports 13 agents, 13 binding rows and 20 register rows.

Splitting them would produce two one-line commits making the same point about the same table. H1 (docs seat) and M1 (product seat), the same defect found twice: the critical-subsystems index row for the capability mint surface still named only `packages/d2b-bus/tests/public_mint_surface.rs`. v3 moved that surface to a rustdoc-JSON census and updated its own copy of the cell; the resolution folded that into docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md but left the index row pointing at the old shape, so the router and the doc it routes to disagreed. The row now names the census crate and the golden tree alongside the source-leg test. H1 (product seat): this branch folded two new rules into files whose router rows did not advertise them. The debugging build profile went into gates-and-lints.md, reachable only from a row about heavy lanes; the rust-test-cache path went into workflow.md, reachable only from a row about worktrees and PRs. Neither is findable in one hop from a row whose label describes something else. Both labels now say what their target actually covers. Also records, as deferred work rather than fixing it here: v3 flipped the fixture-contract lane to enforcing in AGENTS.md but left 16 statements across 12 files in docs/reference/ describing that coverage as advisory. Those files are byte-identical to origin/v3, so the drift is inherited, not introduced by this branch, and sweeping it belongs in its own change. --- .specify/memory/deferred-work.md | 1 + AGENTS.md | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md b/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md index ec81dd1a9..2311c7082 100644 --- a/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md +++ b/.specify/memory/deferred-work.md @@ -20,3 +20,4 @@ They are fixed in the round that raised them. | copilotw3 | build | 2026-07-31 | `specify init` not run in-repo; skills imported additively instead, so a spec-kit upgrade needs the same manual import | open | | | copilotw6fu4 | test | 2026-07-31 | `test-check-bindings.mjs` covers the seat-roster guard only; the scalar constant mirrors share a loop and have no negative case | open | | | copilotw6fu6 | test | 2026-07-31 | `REQUIRED_INPUTS` / `OPTIONAL_INPUTS` classification is asserted by comment only; the omit-each-input probe that verified it against the gate was run by hand and not committed | resolved | copilotw6fu7 | +| copilotw6fu17 | test | 2026-07-31 | `v3` flipped the fixture-contract lane to enforcing in `AGENTS.md` but left 16 statements across 12 files in `docs/reference/` still calling that coverage advisory; those files are byte-identical to `origin/v3`, so the drift is inherited rather than introduced here | open | | diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index 4af71fd8b..746ea5806 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -36,9 +36,9 @@ about to do, read that doc, then come back. | Change any code | "Build and validate" below, then commit before validating | | Touch a **critical subsystem** | The index below, then [critical-subsystems.md](./docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md) | | Add, move, or retire a test | [`tests/AGENTS.md`](./tests/AGENTS.md) - binding, read it before touching the test tree | -| Run a heavy lane (Layer 2, host-integration, hardware, perf) | [gates-and-lints.md](./docs/contributing/gates-and-lints.md) - one semaphore, two slots | +| Run a gate, a heavy lane, or a build that needs debug symbols | [gates-and-lints.md](./docs/contributing/gates-and-lints.md) - what each Layer-1 job covers, the heavy-lane semaphore, build profiles, spec-literal lints | | Run or respond to a panel round | "Panel review" below, then [panel-review.md](./docs/contributing/panel-review.md) | -| Open a worktree or land a PR | [workflow.md](./docs/contributing/workflow.md) | +| Open a worktree, land a PR, or reclaim disk | [workflow.md](./docs/contributing/workflow.md) - worktrees, stacked PRs, edit/commit/validate, disk and cache hygiene | | Write a changelog entry or commit message | [changelog-and-commits.md](./docs/contributing/changelog-and-commits.md) | | Add a per-VM feature, a unit, or a broker op | [architecture.md](./docs/contributing/architecture.md) and [ADR 0015](./docs/adr/0015-daemon-only-clean-break.md) | | Do anything security-relevant | "Don'ts" below - that section is exhaustive and binding | @@ -337,7 +337,7 @@ is a warning, not the contract. | [ComponentSession capability boundary](docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md#componentsession-capability-boundary) | `packages/d2b-contracts/src/v3/component_session.rs` | Authenticated transport evidence and attachment credits are consumed into a private single session owner; do not add a clone/accessor that lets callers reuse admission evidence. `SessionAuthority` is sealed and must stay sealed. | | [Zone message bus boundary](docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md#zone-message-bus-boundary) | `packages/d2b-bus/src/{router,registry,authorization,streams,operations}.rs` | Registration consumes the single-owner capability admission; comparing a clonable token is insufficient. | | [Authoritative subject resolution](docs/contributing/critical-subsystems.md#authoritative-subject-resolution) | `packages/d2b-bus/src/router.rs` (`ZoneRegistrar`) | `ZoneRegistrar` **exclusively owns and consumes** subject resolution: a peer is mapped to a subject from registrar-private state using verified peer evidence.

The termination worry it answered was unfounded. Recording round N reopens the phase, round N+1 reviews only that bookkeeping commit, and reviewing an accurate record generates no new friction, so there is nothing to record and the loop closes. That is the same fixed-point argument fix rounds already rely on, so no exception was ever needed. It was also an escape hatch. The registers are not history alone; a deferred-work row records a commitment, so an appended row can defer a fix the panel never agreed to, or mark a requirement wontfix, and under the carve-out that would land unreviewed. Two of its four conditions were not mechanical either: whether a row describes a round that has already closed is unverifiable, and nothing enforced that the commit touched nothing else. And it had been added to one of the four places that state the rule, leaving AGENTS.md, docs/contributing/panel-review.md and the autopilot skill contradicting it.

That was true when written and false once the carve-out was reverted, so a cold reader would have taken a withdrawn change for an active rule. Raised independently by docs and observability. The row now records that the carve-out was written and reverted, dispositioned wontfix rather than resolved, because the friction was real and the fix was rejected. The fu20 rows recorded that three seats rejected the exemption without recording why, which is the part that prevents a recurrence. Three lessons are now stated: a register row is a commitment and not only a history, an exemption condition that cannot be checked mechanically does not bound the exemption, and the invalidation rule is stated in four files so amending one silently contradicts three. The last is left open because it is a standing hazard rather than something this branch closed. The deferred row used the Ref column for prose where every other row uses a wave token, and needed a paragraph to read, which the register header says makes it a task rather than an entry.

The agent tool's default working directory is a sibling worktree rather than this one, and putting a command in the background detaches the leading cd from everything after it. A diff staged for panel review was therefore computed in the wrong checkout, and because that checkout is detached on one of this branch's own commits the result was a real diff of the wrong range rather than an error.

Nothing failed to build; a diff staged for review was computed in the wrong checkout and looked plausible. Evidence integrity is the test seat's surface, and it owns the categorisation. Recategorised to test. One row added for friction the same round surfaced. The panel contract requires each round to stage two ranges, a delta and a full branch diff, and a seat read the full one while reporting on the delta. The two-range requirement is correct and is not being changed, but a directory holding two diffs is itself a source of misattribution, and that is worth recording rather than treating as a one-off reviewer error. It is batched into this commit rather than appended after the round so it is reviewed once. Closes the round-23 finding from test.

That answered the objection but picked the wrong replacement: the artifact the incident corrupted was a diff staged for panel review, not a validation run, and the sibling row appended in the same commit describes the same hazard class under signoff. Two seats reached that conclusion independently, one of them the seat whose finding produced the cell. Also records the underlying friction, which is that the closed category vocabulary is validated per row and never across rows, so a fix scoped to one finding can leave two adjacent rows disagreeing.

The tag enumerates all five: the unstated scope expansion, the closed set not enforced at substitution, the unsafe quoting, the error suppression that masked an authorisation denial, and the instruction-versus-mechanism objection that replaced it. The block now queries the repository's labels once and creates only the names that are absent, under `set -euo pipefail`: - The closed category set is stated at the point of substitution, because the value reaches a shell. Anything outside `signoff`, `build`, `test`, `merge`, `codegen`, `disk` is rejected rather than passed through. - Substituted positions are single-quoted, with a sentence saying the quotes belong to the command and not the placeholder. The opposite recommendation was raised in the same round on readability grounds; the safety property won and the readability concern was answered textually instead. - `--force` is not used. It updates an existing label's color and description, so on a repository owning its own `test` or `build` label it would silently overwrite that label. Skipping creation when the name is present leaves it untouched. - `2>/dev/null || true` is not used either. It was the first attempt at idempotency and it masked exactly the authorisation denial an operator needs to see, resurfacing it as a misleading "label not found" from `gh issue create` two commands later. - Replacing that with an instruction to classify the failure was also rejected, because an instruction is something an agent can skip. Querying first removes the failure rather than classifying it, so nothing depends on matching gh's error wording. - `--color` is given explicitly. It is optional, and gh picks a random color when it is omitted. Three properties were executed rather than argued, with gh stood in for so the repository was not mutated: the negative grep inside `if !` does not trip `set -e` and the script completes; a denied create aborts before `gh issue create` is reached; a failing `gh label list` aborts the same way, which is what makes the unguarded first call the authorisation probe.

Two seats reached the same defect independently, which in this panel's experience is near-certain signal, and one of them carried it further than the other. The claim was that single-quoting the substituted category stops a value which escaped the closed-set check from being expanded by the shell. But `--title` was still double-quoted, so the property held only for `--label`. The larger exposure was the one neither the prose nor the first finding named: the title also carries the row's one-line statement, which unlike the category is free text rather than a closed set of six words. Under double quotes a statement holding `$PWD` would silently expand and publish a host path into a public issue title, and one holding an unbound name would trip `set -u` and echo that name into the transcript as the wrong error. The `--body-file` path was unquoted entirely, so a path containing a space would word-split. Every substituted position is now single-quoted, and the constraint says so for all of them rather than for the category alone. Two presentation findings are also closed. The statement that the operation mutates repository settings now appears before the code block rather than in a bullet after it, because a privilege boundary has to be visible before the mutation rather than after. The bullets are recast as prohibitions naming the defect each one prevents, and the paragraph of drafting history is gone: in a file that is loaded into an agent's context, the rule is what prevents the regression and the history is not. That follows the same principle this branch applies to AGENTS.md - a prohibition stays where the reader is, its rationale does not - and it is why the constraints are phrased as "do not" rather than as explanations. Correcting the record on the parent commit: its trailing tag enumerated three findings where five were closed. The convention is that the tag names every finding a commit closes. Those five were the scope-expansion statement, the closed-set enforcement at substitution, the unsafe quoting, the error suppression that masked an authorisation denial, and the instruction-versus- mechanism objection that replaced it.

The first is the most useful thing this phase has produced about the panel itself. Two seats found the quoting defect independently while six missed it, and when the six were asked why rather than simply re-reviewed, five named the same cause: the surrounding prose asserted the safety property, so it read as already established and none of them audited the actual quote characters. That is a failure mode of confident documentation, not of the reviewers, and it is worth knowing that a claim in prose measurably lowers scrutiny of the code it describes. The second records that satisfying a finding is not the same as fixing its class. The category was quoted correctly at the argument the finding named and left double-quoted at a second and unquoted at a third. The third records a conflict that resolved on evidence rather than by adjudication. Two seats gave opposite recommendations on whether a reviewed commit's message could be rewritten. It could, because a message-only rewrite leaves an identical tree object, and the invalidation rule is triggered by a content change; showing the two tree hashes matching settled it without either seat having to concede a judgement call.

The rule for what blocks a round was written once in the panel contract and then restated in each seat's own prompt. It diverged. Measured across the ten agents: two carried it in full, one substituted its own test, four carried a partial variant each excluding a different thing, and three carried no threshold at all beyond "confine findings to defects in the delta". A seat with no stated bar treats anything it notices as blocking, and because signoff is true iff recommendations is empty, each of those cost a full extra round across all ten seats. The next round then reviewed a larger diff, which offered more to find. That is the receding gate the contributing doc already describes, arrived at by ten reviewers correctly applying ten different thresholds. Replace all ten per-seat paragraphs with one shared section, and enforce byte-identity in check-bindings.mjs so it cannot drift again. Prose alone is what produced the divergence, so a prose fix alone would reproduce it. The shared bar also carries two rules that came out of observed misses on this branch and belong to every seat rather than to one: report the defect class rather than the single instance, and treat a claim that a property holds as something to check rather than as established. It fixes the severity gap too: the commit convention cites a severity letter taken from the reviewer JSON, but only two seats mentioned severity at all and none defined the vocabulary. Seat-specific content is untouched. The exclusions that were previously spelled per seat are preserved in the shared text, so no seat loses a qualifier it had. --- .github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-kernel.agent.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-networking.agent.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-nixos.agent.md | 50 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-observability.agent.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-product.agent.md | 51 +++++++++++++++++++-- .github/agents/panel-rust.agent.md | 50 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-security.agent.md | 50 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/agents/panel-software.agent.md | 51 +++++++++++++++++++-- .github/agents/panel-test.agent.md | 50 +++++++++++++++++++- .github/skills/d2b-panel-round/SKILL.md | 5 ++ .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 5 +- changelog.d/copilot-agent-surface.md | 9 +++- docs/contributing/panel-review.md | 36 +++++++++++++++ scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 47 ++++++++++++++++++- scripts/copilot/test-check-bindings.mjs | 38 +++++++++++++++ 16 files changed, 615 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md b/.github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md index 7a99ca703..04695e62d 100644 --- a/.github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md +++ b/.github/agents/panel-docs.agent.md @@ -76,7 +76,54 @@ Review the **delta** you are given.

C1 (rust). The bar asks each seat for an object. `make-records.mjs` stringified a recommendation only to length-check it and then pushed the original value into the record, and `PanelRecord.recommendations` in packages/xtask/src/delivery/panel.rs is `Vec<String>`. An object therefore passed every check in the helper and failed at the seal, which is the one gate these records exist to feed. Rendering now happens once, before the length check, the verdict digest, and the record, so `output_sha256` binds exactly what is stored. C2 (security) and C3 (test) are the same defect found independently, and H2 (kernel) is its third face. The extent ran from the bar heading to whatever `## ` came next, so a seat could inject a section between the bar and `## Output`, or embed a heading inside the bar, and the compared slice would still match every other seat byte for byte while that seat read a different threshold. Matching a bare substring had the same shape. The start is now a unique heading on its own line and the end is pinned to `## Output`, with anything between them rejected. H1 (docs). The prose describing how the bar had diverged miscounted: three seats carried a partial variant and four carried none, not four and three. The delta was recounted seat by seat rather than the correction taken on assertion, which is the standard this commit's own bar sets. Kernel also proposed treating end-of-file as the bar's extent. Not taken: software and security both showed the closed failure is correct, and C2 shows a permissive boundary is precisely the fail-open being closed. Kernel's CRLF concern is dissolved rather than argued, since the new anchors match `\r?\n`. Every new check has a negative control: an injected section, a duplicate heading, a missing `## Output`, and reverting the record fix each fail with the intended message, and the tree returns green. --- .../d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs | 31 ++++++++-- .specify/memory/friction-log.md | 3 +- changelog.d/copilot-agent-surface.md | 9 +++ docs/contributing/panel-review.md | 4 +- scripts/copilot/check-bindings.mjs | 59 +++++++++++++++++-- scripts/copilot/test-make-records.mjs | 48 +++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 141 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs index b112f85cb..68e25d4b5 100755 --- a/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs +++ b/.github/skills/d2b-panel-round/scripts/make-records.mjs @@ -37,6 +37,29 @@ const MAX_RECOMMENDATIONS = 64; const MAX_SUMMARY_CHARS = 4000; const MAX_RECOMMENDATION_CHARS = 4000; +// `PanelRecord.recommendations` in packages/xtask/src/delivery/panel.rs is a +// `Vec<String>`, but the shared finding bar asks each seat for a structured +// object.

Both the implementer and the integrator move together, because the integrator runs fix rounds against the implementer's output and splitting them would make a fix round reason at a different depth than the change it is fixing. Scoped deliberately to the Copilot surface this branch introduces: - the architect stays on claude-opus-5 at xhigh, so the planning and reviewing bindings are unchanged; - the ten panel seats stay on gemini-3.1-pro-preview at high, which is not a preference but a seal requirement - delivery/panel.rs rejects a record on any other binding, and the panel model is deliberately not the coding model; - .opencode/opencode.json and the ADR-046 specs keep gpt-5.6-sol. Those bind the concurrent program running on the old process, and one of them is a frozen spec statement about that program rather than a knob. ADR 0048's gpt-5.6-sol mentions are left alone for the same reason: they record what a substrate probe observed, and rewriting an observation to match a later preference would destroy the evidence the ADR exists to carry. Frontmatter and the dispatch row must agree or check-bindings.mjs fails, so both moved; the validator already knew gpt-5.6-luna supports max and long_context, so no capability entry changed. --- .github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md | 4 ++-- .github/agents/d2b-integrator.agent.md | 4 ++-- .github/skills/d2b-autopilot/SKILL.md | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md b/.github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md index fed24139c..420127962 100644 --- a/.github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md +++ b/.github/agents/d2b-implementer.agent.md @@ -1,11 +1,11 @@ --- name: d2b-implementer description: Implements one scope of a d2b wave.
